So it is those who use the paid-service likes of NordVPN etc, that will be targeted, because that type of VPN is what people use to 'spoof' their location and bypass IP geolocation restrictions. Well, plenty of corporates pay for VPN licences - usually for the client provided by their router or firewall manufacturer (from Draytek at the small business end to Cisco and Fortinet at the large end). There are also other clients used by both home and business users. Way back when, I used The Green Bow (which is still around) and I've used Tunnelbear and the Draytek client as well as the ubiquituous OpenVPN, so they can't ban everything paid for. What they want to do is ban the ones that allow you to use server(s) you and/or your employer don't control. But do they know that's what they want to do or will they just F everything up because they really don't understand technology?

Frederiksen seems to have been pretty much singing from the globalist hymn sheet on all topics except immigration. Mette Frederiksen can be found on the WEF website, without photo, from her days as Minister of Employment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numnuts Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c80d74v0e4lo 'Italy gives final approval for world's longest suspension bridge to Sicily.' Rome has given final approval to a €13.5bn ($15.6bn) project to build the world's longest suspension bridge, connecting the island of Sicily to the region of Calabria, on the tip of Italy's boot. The designers claim the bridge – which is due to be built on one of the most seismically active areas in the Mediterranean – will be able to withstand earthquakes. It is the latest attempt by Italian officials to launch the Messina Bridge project - several have tried over the years but plans have later been scrapped due to concerns over cost, environmental damage, safety or potential mafia meddling. Rome is hoping to classify the bridge as a military expenditure to make it count towards the Nato target of 5% of GDP spent on defence. (Shifty as...)

RobinJ Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 On 7/25/2025 at 12:30 PM, Grumpy Owl said: I'm no housing expert either. Developers and local authority planning departments keep throwing around this word "affordable" like it means something, there's no clear definition. If 100% of new housing developments are not 'affordable', then what is the point? If ordinary people can't afford to buy these new homes, then who are they being built for? With 'natural' population growth, there's always an element of expansion. At the 'micro-level', me and my two siblings grew up in a house with our parents. As we get older and want to move out, that means there needs to be three homes that we can move into and occupy. Of course, a lot of 'natural' population growth can feed into existing housing stock, for example when occupiers get old and die, so their property goes back onto the market, for someone else to buy and make use of. I know that questions can be asked, like do my parents even need a three-bed house now? The short answer is 'no', however it's their house, it's paid for, and they have two spare rooms so family and friends can come over and stay when they visit. I know there's been a big push in recent years to build 'retirement villages', nearby Shirley in Solihull is notorious for these. The theory being that couples can 'downsize' their family home, and move into a 'modern' one/two bed apartment, with all the facilities they could need on their doorstep. And the theory is that this means that 3/4 bed 'family sized homes' can be freed up for first-time buyers to buy and occupy, especially those who have young families. It's a sound enough theory, but it's not what is happening - these homes go onto the market and get snapped up by investors who convert them into HMOs. Meanwhile there are thousands of new build developments happening on the outskirts of cities and major towns, but there is little to no thought given as to public transport provision. As a potential first-time buyer, what use to me is a property on the outskirts of Lichfield, if I need to commute into Birmingham, because I don't own a car? I've mentioned in another thread here about my observations on travelling by bus recently through a new development in the south-west of Birmingham - lots of lovely new-build homes that seem to be predominantly occupied by what can best be described as 'non-native', ie people who aren't white. I'm currently renting a nice little property that suits my needs and is affordable, but while I would like to buy something for myself, I can't afford to buy anything decent here in Birmingham, and I have no interest in buying a 'luxury apartment' in the city centre. For what I would pay to buy a one-bedroom flat here, I could get a three-bed maisonette out in some rural coastal town/village. Do I 'need' a three-bed property? No, but it's nice to have, if I want to have family/friends staying over... For some years now govt rules have been forcing landlords out of the market. It has become very difficult to be a landlord, make a profit, and provide decent accommodation folks can afford. On the back of that govts then buy up those properties to house migrants. Eventually they want to destroy any sense of community in replacement, so people feel isolated, you'll be forced into living on govt money in 15 minute cities where you have no choice about anything in your life. Its simply a land grab so govt owns everything done by the boiling frog method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another game to keep you engaged in the system and separated from other humans. It is a game to keep as many people as possible engaged in the system, which is why E.M Forster's novel. "The Machine Stops" was so prescient, even though it was written well over a hundred years ago, in 1910, but one of the best is Plato's allegory of the Cave. The system we live under is designed to keep you distracted from being an expression of who you really are.

Grumpy Owl Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The click-bait churnalists can't even get basic facts correct when cooking up headlines to announce a TV star's death. Star from much-loved BBC comedy dies aged 80 Quote George And Mildred star Norman Eshley has passed away at the age of 80, his agent confirmed. The actor and writer, who had been battling cancer, died on August 2 at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital with his wife Rachel Eshley by his side, his agent Thomas Bowington told the PA news agency. Mr Bowington said: "It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of our client actor Norman Eshley. "A warm, kind and grounded man with a great voice that I will miss not hearing over the phone again." from: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-tv/star-much-loved-bbc-comedy-32223004 Ironically, while I never watched this show before, I have been 'catching-up' recently, thanks to it being available to view on ITV's streaming service. Which tends not to show BBC shows. The article itself does contain the facts though. Quote However, he became best recognised for portraying snobbish neighbour Jeffrey Fourmile in the beloved ITV sitcom George And Mildred, appearing alongside Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce. It is a great show, and I am really enjoying it. RIP Norman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazthehobo Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) So I keep bumping into Gareth Icke. 3 times in the last couple of months and after the last encounter I guessed the law of averages would suggest that would be it… But no. The 4th chance meeting in a different town to the other occasions. This time, as I’m stuck in traffic at some temporary lights, who is cycling up the hill towards me? Without a helmet? Gareth again. Now he claimed he was cycling to keep fit, but he uploads videos of him walking about every day and he’s clearly not out of shape… So I wondered, did he plant a tracker on me the first time we spoke a couple of months ago? Is he stalking me? Or is this just another chance meeting… And then I realised. He has been cloned. The latest clone was clearly learning how to ride a bike. But it got me thinking… what are the weirdest chance meetings you guys have had? I remember once I was in fuerteventura and met a guy asking for money to get home. I got talking to him and bought him a McDonald’s or something… 3 years later I was at a job interview in Coventry and who was the manager interviewing me…. Yep. The hobo from years before. What about you guys? (edit: just realised I probably posted this in the wrong thread…) Edited August 7 by Mazthehobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how much cash is being stuffed away by criminals, drug gangs, illegal immigrants etc etc. Got to make sure there are enough 'used banknotes' for the criminals and illegals, can't have Auntie Doris keeping them in a shoebox under her bed!
