'Choice' Is Exactly What They Don't Want Anyone To Have...

...and if this isn't rejected, that's exactly what they will continue to push on everyone.

Green Party councillor Ian Middleton, put forward a motion to make sure all Oxfordshire County Council meetings are "entirely plant-based", and it was passed on Tuesday's full council meeting.

Nor was that his only demand: 

The motion also called for targeted education in schools on dietary health, food growing, preparation and waste avoidance and for the county school meals service to make fully plant-based menus available to schools that ask for them.

Because we all know schools have successfully taught all children to read, write and add up and are just twiddling their thumbs? 

However, Conservative councillor David Bartholomew feels the motion is "unacceptable" and says that veganism should be a choice.

In the normal world, it is.  

It will now be considered by the council cabinet before implementation.

And I've little hope that the 

Speaking after the meeting Mr Middleton said:"No one is taking away free choice, these changes will only affect those who wish to avail themselves of food provided by the council. What members do outside the council walls is their own affair."

But that's how these things always start, isn't it?  Impacting one small - often despised - group of people, before they move on to everyone.  

But you can't argue with fanaticism:

Mr Middleton said: "These are not choices we're making for ourselves, but for future generations. This is a very minor change that sends a powerful message to the people we represent that we take tackling climate change seriously and are prepared to play our part as community leaders".

Enjoy your taxpayer-funded food, but I'll make my own choices with my own money. And looking at the vegan offerings always adorning the supermarket 'buy it now at reduced price before we bin it' so does everyone else... 

The NYE party is in England this year

Expect the borders flooded by 'guests', Ripper sends this:

Plenty of observations can be made regarding the idiocy of the whole madness but there's also a more puritanical view of the whole yoof culture over maybe 70 years ... that that culture has longterm political and social implications which puts it at the mercy of outside enemies.  Yuri Bezmenov wrote of this.

Of narrative, myrmidons and karens

There are quite a few aspects to this and they can't all be covered in one post. Let's start with Polly on Bitchute and her dismembering of Scott Adams [Dilbert].

https://www.bitchute.com/embed/gjZqilI35av1/

Not going to actually run it here because he intensely annoys in that performance, Adams, but it does need mentioning and essentially, it comes down to evidence piling up on the lack of efficacy of certain procedures, plus he and also DJT have bought a narrative wholesale and have then been pushing it, without even looking at the mounting evidence, inc. quite obvious cases every few days, all reported by us, but in SA's and DJT's eyes, we may has well have never prsented it for months and months.

Were it to have stayed as just that - two people with cognitive issues in their own homes - then fine, let it be so.  But no, they can't leave it at that, can they, because they're this ridiculous new Woke weasel word 'influencers'.  Both want to be the people's poet, the people's champ, not part of the Global Rest cabal and both have made populist moves towards that end, one in a presidency, the other in a Dilbert cartoon.

All the while buying the global narrative and pushing it at the same time.  And that, ladies and gentlemen = cognitive dissonance, as Polly explains the term in her intro.

Now, do they leave it at that?  Nope, they do this American thing they call 'doubling down', they actually quie belligerently try to hit back when called out.  Pure alpha male.  Female SJWs also do it  but let's not complicate this.  Adams actually chooses those words 'cognitive dissonance' to project onto us in a podcast.  In other words, we have cognitive dissonance.

Yet Polly places those words beside footage of him saying the opposite, like a Fauci.  See, the issue in their heads is not to have the facts straight at all but to be the beloved 'good guys', acting chummy, matey and speaking the vernacular, taking us into their confidence, projecting this man of the people shtick.  For what purpose?

To push the global narrative, but in a people's poet way, speaking the language of ordinary guys, not the language of the Schwab/Gates cabal they are joining.  Commenter Twisted Root wrote this:

Adams is experiencing the downside of when hypnotic suggestion begins to wear off.

Let's self-examine.  In which part of the lockdown, deathjab, mask madness for two years have we pundits altered our position?  Even if we could get those two to admit our single line throughout, then we are insta-dismissed as conspiracy nuts.

The aim is, at all times, that they are the good guys and we are the loons.  That is the bottom line, the whole raison d'etre.  And what is ours?  What is our shtick?  To expose, call out of course, never ceasing.  In the way the media is supposed to do its job.

Deliberately Misrepresenting The Issue

Finn Mackay is the author of Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars and is a senior lecturer in sociology. And the 'Guardian' wheels him out to lecture us all on what's really going on with gender wars::

The UK’s national LGBTQ+ charity, Stonewall, has recently been accused of advocating for trans rights.

Who cares if it 'advocates for trans rights' (although it's hard to see what rights they don't already have)? 

No-one. It's the fact they are encouraging those rights to trump those of others that's the issue, and well you know it.

In 2017, the then prime minister Theresa May promised that these reforms would be carried out, and at a Pink News awards event assured the audience that the Conservative government did not see being trans as a mental illness, and the process of acquiring a GRC would be simplified.

It'd be easier to understand them 'not seeing it as a mental illness' if the most vocal advocates weren't clearly utterly deranged, wouldn't it? 

...due to misunderstandings of what these proposals would mean in practice, these concerns grew.

No, it wasn't 'misunderstandings' at all. It was the utter lunacy of cases like this one.  

The current gender wars are not a fight against the binary roles that constrict our society, instead this particular manifestation of the culture wars is a battle against trans women in particular.

No, it's not. And I expect most trans women - like most gays and lesbians when Stonewall was ortiginally founded - want nothing more than to be left alone to live their lives. 

As always, it's the spokepersons for this 'cause' who are intent on pushing and pushing because it's validating their own warped worldview. And giving them something to do.  

It seems as if the Conservative government has purposely fuelled and exacerbated the gender wars in order to consolidate its base.

Really? You think this is a Conservative government that panders to its base? That even knows what its base is...?

This debate may remain contentious for some time, but any lesbian, gay or bisexual person, in particular, supporting the current war on trans people, should remember that while T is near the end of our acronym, the other letters are just further back in the queue. Any talk of the movement going too far, or the community getting too broad is just a shameless display of exclusion, pointing at someone else you think is weirder than you and saying they are the real problem. But tomorrow’s weirdo could be you.

Trust me, it won't be.  

More tidings we bring ...

 ... to kith and to kin.  Best wishes for a very happy Boxing Day from Julia, Churchmouse, Grandpa and from me. We hope you have the very best one you can, unmolested by Boris' restrictions, and enjoyed with family, or alone, whatever is your choice or however you find your situation to be.  May it be better in 2022.

Relaxing day, we're pretty well at our own sites but shall return tomorrow.

Glad Tidings We Bring...

....and best wishes for a very merry Christmas to you all, from me, James, Churchmouse and Grandpa. We hope you have the very best one you can, unmolested by Boris' restrictions, and enjoyed with family, or alone, whatever is your choice. 

Here's to 2022 - it can only get better!

Another empty promise from All Talk Patel?

Uh huh:

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/12/23/uk-to-overrule-use-of-orwellian-non-crime-hate-incidents-in-free-speech-win/

The UK Home Secretary has announced that she will overrule the use of ‘Orwellian’ non-crime hate incidents by police, in a potential win for freedom of speech in the UK, if the minister follows through on her words.

Home Secretary Priti Patel has said that she will overrule the recording of non-crime hate incidents by the police where a person’s freedom of speech is in question.

The devil's in the detail, innit.  More BS from All Talk Patel?

“We want officers to focus on policing actual crime, not hurt feelings,” a government source told The Telegraph.

Anonymous source, eh?

I Think You Have A Different Idea Of What 'Botched' Means, 'Guardian'...

'Worse'..? They are executing people twice, then?

More than half of the states in the US have either abolished the death penalty or have formal suspensions in place, as the country’s use of the brutal punishment continues to wither on the vine.

For the 'Guardian', it's the judicially applied sentence that is 'brutal', ignoring the crimes that got them that sentence... 

Oklahoma botched its first execution in six years, that of John Grant who was observed convulsing and vomiting on the gurney.

Didn't 'botch it' at all. He's dead, isn't he? I don't suppose the cafeteria worker he stabbed to death while in prison went quietly and peacefully...

Reflecting a centuries-old distortion, more than three out of every four of the victims of this year’s murders ending in new death sentences were white. No non-white victim was involved in any case leading to a white person being condemned to death.

*shrugs* So? Maybe that tells you more about the nature of black on white murder than it does about 'racism'.. 

Those who died in 2021 at the hands of the Trump administration were Lisa Montgomery, a profoundly mentally-ill woman who had suffered a lifetime of abuse tantamount to torture; Corey Johnson who was severely intellectually disabled; and Dustin Higgs who indisputably did not kill anybody.

Interesting that the 'Guardian chooses to take out an onion for a woman who strangled a 23 year old pregnant mother-to-be before cutting the baby out of her womb and kidnapping it, a drug dealer whose 'intellectual shortcomings' didn't prevent him being responsible for killing seven people and the getaway driver for a serial killer who murdered three women while he waited in the car... 

I mean, there must be some people whose execution seems like it was wrong or unjust to normal-thinking people. But the left-wing media never seems to be able to find any.

Maybe This Doesn't Say What You Think It Says, Gary...

Perennial race-baiter Gary Younge opines once more:

We were not protesting against some new manifestation of racism in Britain, but the enduring nature of it. The YouGov poll from June revealed the percentage of non-white people who think racism was present in society 30 years ago is virtually identical to the proportion who think it is present today.

Maybe that does tell us something, Gary, but I suspect a lot of people - myself included - draw a rather different conclusion from it. 

And wonder why our government and all its agents seem hell-bent on appeasing people who can't, by this evidence, ever be appeased. Whose dissatisfaction with their lot in life isn't based on objective reality. And never will be. 

Here is my proposal. We should do this again; only without the Home Office. We could hold a series of themed public meetings, independent of political parties, across England, on a range of issues, at which a few experts and practitioners in each field could lay out the challenges and then open the floor for people to bear witness (race in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has its own dynamics, and will need specific proposals).

Didn't Russia try this sort of public denunciation once? I'm sure it did. How'd that turn out, Gary?  

Sunday funnies
