I've just watched this video in 'YOUTUBERS Are Spreading LIES About HOLOGRAMS' thanks to @Puzzle

Is this part of their next plan ? To be like God and know your thoughts.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your reply, my thoughts on this are varied, the fact that this tell-lie-vision program was aired on mainstream media raises red flags immediately, however knowing how these inhuman characters operate, then there is a grain of truth somewhere in the video you posted. it reminded me of the awful movie 'Minority Report' with Tom Cruise where humans' minds were monitored to prevent future criminal activity. Regarding the theory of ruling classes becoming gods through trans-humanism, or replacing the divine source, then there are many instances of these nut-jobs proclaiming that they, or their noncey mates will be gods. as seen here.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/MrKZA72WjkkJ/ or look at the work of Dr Richard Seed.

They are really trying to destroy our locals, first it was the smoking ban & then covid, and now this;

 

'We risk losing the British pub forever': Venues choose between closing down or 'charging £14 a PINT' to stay afloat with some now shutting for two days a week and cutting menu items amid £80,000 spikes in energy bills 

Pubs across the country are reducing hours and closing as energy bills rise by tens of thousands, with landlords describing it as 'an even bigger crisis than Covid' and the potential end of the British pub.

 

 

This is their way of stopping socializing for ever

 

 

 

All part of the globalist plan. This is not an accident. They dont want small independent businesses where people are creative and think for themselves and are self sufficient, and they dont want pubs where people might get together and start exchanging thoughts and ideas and critical thought against the government. Both of these things are what made Britain what it is, an island of traders and pub lovers. The globalists hate that, they want us all isolated and working in soulless, controlled environments.

 

But yes, use it or lose it  indeed. It will need a concerted effort of going in and supporting these places during these dark times.

 

Cant believe some of the pubs that closed during covid, never to re-open, like this one, where the Inklings hung out - Tolkien, CS Lewis etc. 

Lord of the Rings and Narnia were beget in here. They are destroying culture and our history too.

Lets post up pubs where significant things happened!

Locals bid to preserve Cambridge pub, formerly The Crown, where early conversations between Syd Barrett and David Gilmour may have led to the birth of Pink Floyd

 

An appeal has been launched to save a historic Cambridge pub where future Pink Floyd bandmates Syd Barrett and David Gilmour are said to have first met.

The Flying Pig, formerly known as The Crown, is under threat of being demolished as part of ongoing redevelopment plans filed by Pace Construction Limited. A pub has been on the Hills Road site since the 1840s and Barrett and Gilmour are reputed to have met at the venue in the late 1950s.

 

The Flying Pig has been under threat for over a decade, with the city council first approving redevelopment plans back in 2008. In June, the pub and venue’s managers Matt and Justine Hatfield revealed that they had been given six months to vacate the property.  

Posting on Facebook at the time, the Hatfields said they were “deeply saddened to announce that, despite the public outcry and overwhelming love and support for our gorgeous grassroots music venue ad real ale pub, the developer (our landlord) has issued us with 6 months notice to vacate our home and the business premises that is the Flying Pig in October 2021.”

The couple were due to leave their home of 24 years on October 27, but an 11th hour appeal has been filed with the government’s Planning Inspectorate to preserve the pub. A decision date has not yet been confirmed, but it is expected that a final judgement will be delivered next year.

“A successful appeal will protect and preserve the Flying Pig,” Pace Limited say.

 

 

 

 

One of the oldest pubs in England, in Nottingham, 1189, for those heading off to the holy land, built into the cliff, with cave like rooms in the tavern.

Yes, its all by design, I did read an article some where, that this American entrepreneur had designs on buying all the UK pubs that were forced to close & were sold off cheap during covid. I can't find the article anywhere now. But it just showed what these greedy monsters were up to. All in click together!

Russell Brand faces backlash over plans for recording studio to record his You Tube channel at Grade II-listed 15th century pub 

Russell Brand, 47, (pictured) bought The Crown pub in the small village of Pishill, Oxfordshire for £850,000 in 2020 with plans to turn it into a vegan restaurant.

The pub closures following the 2008 crash will be nothing compared to what's coming this winter... it's going to be absolute carnage.

 

This will also extend to other small retail businesses too, the local butcher here has already started shutting on Monday as he doesn't generate enough business to open.

 

A local cheese manufacturer here closed last week - they made good products and had operated for 80 years.

 

You're right, and many companies are just clinging on on by their fingernails now - come the further cost rises, BANG! They're dead. In the meantime those who are crawling along have problems of their usual suppliers disappearing.

 

I don't believe most people recognise what is going on, but the destruction of communities as we know them is happening right now and will be accomplished very soon.

Local butchers shops are also closing, I can remember in the early 80s when I was young I would go shopping with Mother and we would go to the local butchers , always busy with everyone talking to each other and having a laugh, but it's all part of the great reset , close down small businesses like Butchers and Pubs , don't eat meat, increase energy prices so that if you do cook your roast chicken and meat its gonna cost you a fortune to cook .

Sawdust on the floor. That's what I remember as a kid. The fishmongers too. All those fish arrayed on beds of ice. I used to love smoked haddock and kippers but the place closed years ago. We had a cheese shop that sold really good cheese from big rounds. The owners were old blokes back then (1970s) but their Lancashire cheese was the absolute best. My mum and her friend always placed their Christmas orders with them and a few days before Christmas Eve, they'd spend the day picking up their purchases and having lunch at the chippy. They planned it like a military operation. All that belongs to another time. Tesco turned up followed by Sainsburys and the small local shops folded.

The Star in Belgravia. A nice mews pub selling Fullers ales. The Great Train Robbers met upstairs. When I moved down to London in the 70s, it was a nice out-of-the way local.

 

 

The Ennismore Arms in South Kensington. Now gone. If you wanted to see the odd film star, it was a good pub to visit. Charles Gray of James Bond fame, often used to hold court in the small bar.

 

 

The Ten Bells in Whitechapel. Two of Jack the Ripper's victims were last seen in here before meeting their grisly deaths. Now a tourist attraction but in the 70s, a place of curiosity and a cheap pint.

I come from a Christian family. I never grew up around drink, but I still like some pub environments. Who says you have to drink alcohol at a pub though? I do these days, but I'm not one to get bladdered. I find people that get bladdered a bit obnoxious anyway. They lose their self-awareness and don't understand how annoying they are to people that aren't drunk.

 

I used to overdo it, and have been teetotal for about five years. I suppressed it, unfortunately. I can almost feel myself slipping into the "fight response" when I'm around drunk people

To be honest, I mainly just go to pubs to have a nice meal and a natter with people these days. I get a bit merry sometimes to relax, but I can't remember the last time I got plastered.

I haven't been wasted since my Sister's wedding in 2016. One drink and I'd probably be horizontal

You must be psychic, I was thinking about this just today.

 

It says a lot about humanity at this point in time that people would grieve the loss of places where people pay money to drink poison.

 

Also, I find it genuinely traumatic to be around drunk people nowadays. There seems to be a trait in many drinkers that they wish to drag everyone else down to their level, or else insult and shout at those of us who wish to remain tee-total. 

 

Yeah, what a miserable stick in the mud! 

 

I used to frequent a local pub when I was younger. I used to enjoy a drink (and still do), whether it was while watching a football match on the 'big TV', or just 'putting the world to rights' with some of the other locals, or even having a blast on the weekly karaoke.

 

Being drunk around other drunk people is fine to me. Now I'm older and wiser, if I'm sober, I can't really stand to be around drunkards to be honest. (Especially not on the bus in the morning going to work!)

 

Times have changed though, when I used to regularly go drinking in pubs, the pissheads were just generally having a laugh amongst themselves, or minding their own business at the end of the bar, or in the corner of the lounge. You'd get a few loutish thugs, but not that many. The problem nowadays is that this culture of "getting hammered" is endemic. Gone are the days when someone could go out to a bar or pub, enjoy a few leisurely drinks and be merry, and then go home when you think you've had enough. The culture has bred a generation of people for whom the idea of a 'good night out' is to get absolutely hammered as quickly as possible, and then be unable to remember anything afterwards. Or to get so drunk that you just want to take on the world, and have as many fights as possible with anyone who dares to upset or 'disrespect' you.

 

The other truth is that I simply couldn't afford to go to a pub nowadays and drink the amount I used to. I used to be able to go down my local with a £10 note and that could cover four pints, which for me was a 'good evening'.

 

£10 nowadays just about covers the cost of two 4 packs from the off-licence, which keeps me going for 2 or 3 days if I stay at home.

In certain bars in certain cities I have heard it said that you can pay a fiver or more per pint now. Makes me glad I don't frequent pubs much any more!

Yes I loved all the local shops years ago there was a community where everyone would chat , yes the old Fishmongers were the best , love the old smoked kippers, also miss the old dairy grocer shops where the staff would wear white coats like a Doctor, cutting up the cold meats on the slicing machine, selling fresh butter and I always remember the treacle cubes and tablet, food seemed to taste better than the crap today , oh I also remember a grocers van from the late 70s that would stop outside my street and you could walk into the van and buy everything, I always remember the smell of the cream cakes and bread , like you said Tesco and Sainsburys ended the small shops , such a shame as it feels like another world.

I was very impressed to hear from someone weatherspoons pubs he frequents  pays £1.79 a pint I don't know  if its a loss leader? special offer they put the prices up on a friday or saturday? or perhaps evening but you can see why they're packed, i don't know if the independent pubs can compete with that price

with the numbers of pubs diminishing people have to travel further to go drinking. a big part of the problem of going out for a night on the sauce is getting home. the cab fare could be as much as you've spent on beer and more if you vomit on the back seat.

 

I did read in the economist world in 2020 one of their "predictions" was people will drink alcohol less and less

Nope, they were on the way out pre covid. Wether he was merely concerned about lost profits, Tim Martin had at least been critical of gov policy throughout covid.

He was also allied with Boris in the Brexit campaign and supported him as PM. That is until he realised what a shambles they were making of the supposed Brexit deal.

 

So perhaps Martin is a genuine businessman taken by surprise at Agenda 21, or Wetherspoon's are the controlled opposition of the restaurant/bar industry (since they still get to trade while smaller ones perish). Either way i don't frequent them much, as there's no entertainment. Pretty much the only reasons i go to a pub are to play pool/snooker or see live music.

18 months after being diagnosed with diabetes, I've now got it in remission so have dumped the Metformin (HURRAY!) so don't drink except a couple of glasses at Christmas & major celebrations. I've always enjoyed going to gastro pubs though for the very occasional treat, and like going to pub quizzes sometimes - I sit there with a cup of coffee which most places serve. 

 

But it looks like that's not going to be an option for much longer.

 

I've just been reading about Tom Kerridges energy bill jumping from £60K to £420K (not that I'm in that area, but it illustrates the point) - couldn't get the link to embed though. I reckon that's a 700% increase. (Correction - it's 700% of the original cost so a 600% increase before anyone who's good at maths spots the error. ).

Ireland suffered severe Covid restrictions. This pub wake was unimaginable for most of 2020-2022.  Some

people are still literally traumatised from the fear mongering and I doubt if this scene is common now.

 

Enjoy!

 

 

I love people and places like this. The things that people do to make fun and entertainment. What a sight for sore eyes, and an inspiration of what we truly are, and what we can be Joy and laughter is infectious. No wonder it has to be stopped. I mean reined in. It'll never be stopped?

 

Some of us are distracted and diverted by those who are making us fearful of the future, and intentionally and tactically agitating our thoughts. Others are unaware, or ignoring the situation, but we are all being controlled and dampened down in one way or another.

 

This pub and others like it are implanted with memories, strength and energy that belongs to us and to future generations. It is priceless and should not be up for sale, ever. Reminds me of a quote from the native Americans.

I'm glad to read your thoughts on Tim Martin. I like reading his magazine, full of his opinions on covid restrictions, and taxation levels on food and beer. One edition was entirely about lockdown, which i was very grateful of. To me he's a devil and an angel.

The people need to counteract this and create regular social gatherings around the UK. Call them social gathering festivals.

No pubs.

No clubs.

No cinemas.

Don't "sexually" stare at anyone.

Stay home.

Cover your face.

Obey every command through your screen.

 

What sort of society does this sound like?
