When doctors turn persecutors

Here's a statement at Wikipedia:

When Alexander Fleming discovered the crude penicillin in 1928, one important observation he made was that many bacteria were not affected by penicillin.^[46] This phenomenon was realised by Ernst Chain and Edward Abraham while trying to identify the exact of penicillin. In 1940, they discovered that unsusceptible bacteria like Escherichia coli produced specific enzymes that can break down penicillin molecules, thus making them resistant to the antibiotic.

And here's another:

Because penicillin resistance is now so common, other antibiotics are now the preferred choice for treatments. For example, penicillin used to be the first-line treatment for infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis, but it is no longer recommended for treatment of these infections. Penicillin resistance is now very common in Staphylococcus aureus, which means penicillin should not be used to treat infections caused by S. aureus infection unless the infecting strain is known to be susceptible.

From that, I conclude that things do move on ... both medical understanding, plus the circumstances, e.g. developing resistance. The average person, imho, is not sufficiently well read across the medical spectrum and thus is dependent on "expert" opinion.

Dr. Nigel Wilson MRCGP FFOM, a retired consultant occupational physician, writes:

Lessons In Economic Reality In 'The Guardian'...

In 2014, I started a petition to end the unfair and sexist “luxury” tax on period products.

Oh, and how did that go? 

...in December 2020, Rishi Sunak, then chancellor, announced he was “proud” to finally end the 5% tax rate applied to period products.

Hurrah! Right? 

Due to a simple administrative error, period pants (a reusable and environmentally friendly menstrual product) were wrongly categorised by HMRC as clothing rather than menstrual products. As a result, period pants are still being taxed today at 20%.

Ah. The government screwing things up. Gosh. What a shock. Still, everything else is cheaper, right? 

It has been two and a half years since Sunak announced the end of the tampon tax (on all products except period pants). You would expect products to be cheaper as a result.

You might. I'm not sure I would... 

Yet a report by the not-for-profit advisory firm Tax Policy Associates found they are hardly any cheaper today than they were in 2020, even after adjusting for inflation. This is for a simple and extremely disappointing reason: retailers have kept prices the same and pocketed the reduction in tax as profits, amounting to an estimated £15m every year.

Wow! Who could have forseen that? Except, maybe, everyone..? 

It’s time to stop weaponising periods. The point of ending tax on sanitary products is to make them more accessible, not to make retailers richer.

As soon as you figure out how to do that, let us all know, eh? 

Diversity

Uh huh:

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/08/21/race-row-breaks-out-after-sky-news-panellist-claims-englands-world-cup-lioness-squad-isnt-that-diverse/

Short reply is on yer bike, chum. Longer reply is that there are immigrants who came here the right way, no issue at all, for example the gurkhas. They work or are retired, they are all for the country, they sigh at the shite this clown goes on with about “diversity”.

It’s not their fault, these proper immigrants shall we call them, as long as they’re not milking the system. But they need to be sensitive to the population engineering going on by the Sino-German globo psycho “elite” and that we don’t like it one little bit.

Furthermore, it’s up to anyone coming to these shores that they assimilate with the British way … it’s quite easily demonstrated, this British way of the past.  And if they do not assimilate but instead try to impose their way or form ghettos, then they need removing. 

Simple. They will meet with hostile resistance, the same resistance to the whole Woke nightmare being visited upon us.

Augean stables springs to mind.

After that, we can turn our sttention to internal matters … the English, the Barnett formula, West Lothian question etc.

Don't You Believe In The Rule Of Law, Then, Rachel..?

Rachel Riley, the co-presenter of Countdown, has said she will stop supporting Manchester United if the club allows Mason Greenwood to return.

Oh? Who on earth is he? I'm not very up to date on my footballers...

She told her 684,000 Twitter followers: “I’m with Em, I won’t be able to support United if Greenwood remains at the club. We’ve all seen and heard enough. Pretending this is OK would be a huge part of the problem.

“It would be devastating for my club to contribute to a culture that brushes this under the carpet … I really hope they do the right thing.”

Gosh! What was he convicted of, then? As I said, I'm not really up to date on my footballers.

Well, Reader....nothing:

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and in October of that year was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Greenwood denied all the charges and they were dropped in February.

Well, that's awkward. Why did they drop it? 

In February, the Crown Prosecution Service said it had dropped the charges against him because there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the investigation.

Rachel needs to be careful. It's easy to say things in the heat of the moment and then have to expensively face consequences, as she should be well aware...  

The whole thing has always been a scam

Which one to explore today?

First one I think:

What an utter horse’s backside, tosspot, a political retard:

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/08/19/the-bbcs-nick-robinson-criticises-gb-news-for-not-being-impartial-but-just-how-impartial-is-the-bbc-when-it-comes-to-climate-change-and-gender-woo/

There’s just something about the type which I can only call impaired brain functioning, susceptibility to orders from above or via the wallet … sorry but I just can’t be doing with it … yet it gets its message out to everyone, assisted by the likeminded all the way along the line.

Having said that, now I’m going to attack the opposite … “trad values”.  In this way.

At all points in history, let’s call it recent, since the 1700s, the ruling class … call them nephilim descendants, call them annunaki, call them what you want … they are a 2% minority requiring henchmen (and women), myrmidons, SS, karens, normies who are to be kept dumb and mortal by the MSM because their sole purpose is as peasants in peaceful times … gather the crops etc. … and cannon fodder in scheduled wars. And they require wads of currency, whether gold or paper play money.

And I mean at ALL times along the way, including Churchill, not just Lloyd George. At every point in history, the theatre is played out. In times of peace and us being educated, articulate and well bred westerners, that’s only for the banksters to thrive, gathering wealth, reaping off the new middle classes enjoying the faux dignity of credit debt. To be cruelly taken away further down the track.

Am I sounding suspiciously commie?  Well that’s the grim joke. The commies, far from bringing in a red panacea, a nirvana, are doing precisely what the ruling bunch require at that time … conflict, conflagration, erosion of any noble ideas … the main instigators are from the temples, but they let the official commies carry the can.

And us waking up? Yeah? How long do we last? The moment we’re noticed by many?  How many tales are there? Southfront is the latest.

Once this drives into the brain, the rest flows from there.

Apologies to readers visiting both sites, I had to reprint this, otherwise it was getting later and later with no post from me. There’ll be another just for OoL later.

Advice Column Is Missing The Most Obvious Piece Of Advice...

I work in heritage in a rural area and am a minority in my workplace and local community. I really love living close to nature and what I do for work, but I feel that I don’t belong here. I grew up in a nearby rural county where we were the only Black family. Race was almost never mentioned by the white people around me...

Well, that's good, it means no-one cares that you're black, right? 

...but I now realise I was treated as an outsider my whole childhood.

Oh! So...how did you come to 'realise' this? 

I have over the past couple of years – after reading up about anti-racism – started to challenge the everyday racism that I had previously ignored. This has caused a massive backlash against me professionally with the resulting victimisation hounding me out of a job I loved at a large heritage organisation. I have learned the consequences of speaking out on racism and discrimination is to have your life and livelihood destroyed.

How will Sisonke Msimang (Yes, Reader, 'tis she) answer this one?

...when you ask about the ethics of telling “people to challenge racism when the power balance is so skewed that challenging may result in greater harm to the individual”, I hear this not as cynicism but as exhaustion. So many of us have been wounded by our attempts to stand up to racism that it sometime feels unwise to continue.

Ah. Of course. Reinforce and join in with the perpetual victimhood. I should have guessed, shouldn't I? 

One of the sadnesses of modern life is that, as James Baldwin has said, it can feel like, “your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world […]”. And yet of course, despite the many problems facing Black people around the world today, history tells us that nothing we are experiencing is new.

*yawns* 

You say you feel like you are the minority in every area of life, and I can understand why. It’s because you have been minoritized — that isn’t okay that you have been rendered a minority by virtue of processes of domination that place you at the bottom of the social ladder. I hope that knowing this helps you to feel less alone.

Why not tell her to go where she isn't a minority, if it bothers her so much? You can go with her, if you like... 

When will these monsters be jailed?

From Gates to Midazolam Matt, plus all the other myrmidons who acted as strong-arm boys, plus all the whining karens wanting us jailed for wanting to stop the killing?

DAD at NOWP:

The unforgivable Ivermectin swindle.

Ivermectin was maliciously and purposefully portrayed as something it wasn’t during the height of the pandemic. The media’s and FDA’s dishonesty on the issue was beyond grotesque and shameful…..

…but the FDA now admit, in court, that Doctors “do have the authority to prescribe Ivermectin to treat Covid”.

So Am I, Brent, So Am I...

...it's appalling.

 

But surely what's even more appalling is that they are trying to 'educate' children that babies gestate in the digestive system, rather than the womb? 

You know, that organ men don't have, and never will?

Maui and the mishandling of disaster

First up ... Clif:

Toodles from Alabama adds that it looks far more than sheer incompetence:

I am so grieved about the Maui victims. So grieved. 

On a much lesser scale, but still sensitive,  when we were attacked here by our own govt with the oil spill, they tried preventing us or anyone else from doing anything to help - disgusting time. 

Our fire dept and other individuals fashioned something that reached the entrance of the bay which is connected to both rivers.   It helped prevent it or at least lessen oil from seeping up into the upper waters. 

It was an awful time. Sludge and gunk and no one in our govt. caring. The idiot in office cared least of all. He and his goons made a visit here and he showed who he was. Felt like (cause they were) Af. thugs with him on his first visit.  They were mean and woke looking .  Auntie Tiffany looking but wearing Island shirts and Island shoes and guns like in the movies … Island mobster look. 

One time he  brought those stand-in children with him to swim in the waters of Panama City Bch area which at that time had no sludge like us because it was far removed from where the oil well cracked. That area probably eventually got some  sludge. Not at that time though. 

You could tell he was miserable being here…there . I heard they plopped in the water while being filmed and then out they went. The ultimate photo op! 

After that the waters really were polluted! All that faux liberal love really contaminates ….as if they care. The Body Language Guy could have had a field day. Their disgust for the South was so palpable!  

Anyway the govt tried to stop us on every front from fighting the oil getting everywhere.  It seemed so intentional at the time … because it was!  We were not to do anything but wait for them to pitch in . Sure…sure.  

We did wait and wait and wait! 

The thing is the independent minded people who once were younger and stronger and had a positive influence here in the community and who lived and appreciated nature are much older now. Who fills those jobs now? 

But this thing over on the Island  of M is beyond horrible. Evil and creepy. Those who had any hand in it are SINister.  The govt prevented us from helping when Mexico Bch FL was hit and also from helping in Tuscaloosa too after the tornado back when the same Goons were in office and who are still running the show.   It was and is crazy. 

More Retail Cowardice...

Another shop falls prey to the hysterical ninnies amongst us, as Longrider notes:

The shop has since removed the image and apologised on Instagram.

'We will keep this brief,' the post read. 'The image that has caused offence has been removed. We apologise unreservedly for any and all distress that it caused.'

Mr Harriman posted screenshots of the apology, with a tweet from Surrey Police confirming that the image has been taken down.

The 'offending image'..? A photo of a tobacco plantation. In a tobacconist.

After filming inside the store, Harriman, 46, spoke directly to the camera outside it, expressing his fury that a shop in 2023 could use an image of oppression to promote its products, calling it 'triggering' and 'damaging to many people'.

Something's damaging all right, but it isn't a sepia photo of a byegone age...
