That Definition Of Madness Again...

A pre-inquest review hearing was today (Monday, March 27) held at Bolton Coroner's Court.

The hearing was told that there was still some evidence yet to be submitted in the case. And Emily's father Mark Jones said: "I just find the process very frustrating. Deadlines are set and are never adhered to. It's like groundhog day coming her all the time."

Mr Jones made the comment after correspondence he sent to the coroner's office airing his frustration was referred to by the coroner.

Understandably so. And how did the coroner deal with it? 

Senior Coroner Timothy Brennand said to Mr Jones: "I am sorry you saw fit to communicate in those very clear and upsetting terms."

Yes, I just bet you are... 

He added that he wanted to address Mr Jones' concerns as he didn't want him to feel there were 'in any way being swept under the carpet'.

He already feels like that, and it's no surprise... 

He said the coroner's service always tried to work 'collaboratively with families' and to 'manage expectations' however he said Mr Jones had made it clear that in his case he did not feel they were being met.

"All I can do is apologise," Mr Brennand continued. "Your experience is your experience and I am not going to in any way quibble with it."

Because you can't. So...how are you going to deal with his belief that the case is being delayed unnecessarily by people who don't adhere to deadlines? 

Mr Brennand set deadlines for the disclosure of remaining evidence and legal submissions ahead of the inquest at the short hearing.

Living on top of one another

Noah Carl, at TDS, writes on lockdown ... the site was originally Lockdown Sceptics.  

Most of it's been said since the excrescence but just a few more oblique points ...

My friend in Alabama is in more open space, homes are further apart, less densely populated, so when I mentioned something near midnight last night, where the walls are so thin and a food preparation bench with all is clattering is not great two feet away from my pillow and perfectly normal noise is amplified ... the clattering of plates and cutlery ... then the question comes up of people living in cattle truck compartments next to one another.

In this case, it's not just the paper thin modern walls in Britain, it's also other people's lifestyles today, compared to yesteryear ... what they find acceptable. And age comes into it too.  My friend mentioned Russian buildings, outer walls two foot thick concrete, inner one foot. Any normal living noises ... there are ways to get around them.

Ah, but that's the Soviet buildings which were good. After the 1990 fall, new, westernised, corner-cutting buildings were built and for one year, I was in one.  If you turned a tap on, someone in a downstairs flat was woken up.  My friend hit the nail on the head when she put it this way ... "not good for people to live one atop the other.  Close qtrs to nonfamily".

That's the operative word ... non-family.  Zero influence and non-family today meaning all sorts of weirdos ... just look at the tranny, lbheebyjeeby thing and CRT in schools, Antifa violence the norm, no one caring for anyone in any civic way, me me me.

Compound that by forcing people to stay at home or in 15 minute city zones and the obvious question is ... what diabolical mind dreamed all this up for humans ... and why?  Why such hatred for human beings?  For the dignity of life?

As it turns out, my neighbours are good either side, neither do anything wrong, I'm as quiet as a mouse most times myself. We do all right, except when someone makes a full-on meal on a clattering bench at midnight, someone else's head two feet away next door.  

My friend wrote, scathingly: "Oh no...he is preparing food! What comes next???" Yes, easy to say when it's not you. In a similar way, easy to smile at Julia's view of today's cyclists as they try to mix with car traffic and lorries. And if a lane is set aside, it endangers the car driving and pedestrians.

Is it the fault of the players in the drama?  Initially no, it's in the "planning" ... but then it becomes the sheer numbers, not of us but of imports to the land ... and finally the new learnt behaviour by bloodyminded Brits, fed up wi'it all, while psycho monsters above dream up new impositions, such as forcibly constraining cowfarts and forcing us to eat insects.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are normal, natural stresses and strains, and as long as we're not snowflakes nor psychological messes like kids in today's sick cultural climate, then we'll get around it.  But not when the thing is designed in a lab, at an Event 201 or similar.  Because then we get into malice aforethought from above.

And poised to cash in are commercial enterprises, now diversifying:

Desperate to roll this moneyspinner out, it's Big Biz now in the west ... the Wellness industry ... while fighting age fourth worlders continue to pour in with govt and "charity" admin  connivance and collusion, all on obscene salaries.

Oh and by the way, there's a massively attended blog coming out of America, Psych2**, which counsels kids, that's its purpose, using a soothing Caribbean voice.  If you explore, writing the scripts are Chinese women.

"It doesn’t have to result in a nanny state telling us how much to ration."

No, maybe not. Yet, somehow, it always does, doesn't it, Reader?

Ofwat chief executive, David Black, insisted the new differential charging is good for consumers and urged other water companies to follow the example set by Affinity.

He also made clear that a key aim of the scheme is to reduce water use, saying: ‘Water resources are being impacted by climate change which poses significant long-term challenges to river water health and security of water supply.

‘While charging is only one approach, companies need to use every tool at their disposal to support affordability, encourage us all to use water wisely and reduce our impact on the environment.

‘We want to see more companies seeking out and implementing innovative solutions.’

I want to see more companies cleaning up their own house first, before telling us how to behave while they are rifling through out pockets. 

A Tough Solution for the Sewage in Our Rivers

Water companies could face unlimited fines for dumping sewage under government plans due to be unveiled in the coming days. I’m sory, but this ‘talk tough’ message from this so-called Government comes about thirty-five years too late. 

I used to work directly inside some of the major British water companies, so I know exactly what was needed thirty-five years ago, and what is still needed now. I supervised, when at Welsh Water, the upgrade to a dilapidated run-down sewage works, an upgrade to the civil, mechanical, electrical and electronic gear so that it complied with the call to treat the raw sewage which used to flow, unchecked in heavy rain conditions, straight into the streams and river leading the the sea. 

The works took eighteen months to build and equip, and it worked fine, but it was still too small to cope with heavy rain condition. There were two overflow tanks, each the size of about four football fields, which was where the heavy flood water was directed, but they always overflowed, and the untreated sewage still flowed into the sea.

To cope with the constant heavy overflow condition, the plant needs to be upgraded again, an increased in capacity for both treatment and flood storage by around 150% of its present day load. The costs would be around £7.5 to £9 millions, just for the plant alone; and the land purchase would be in the region of about £15 millions. Multiply these two costs by around at least one thousand for the sites in England and Wales and you are looking at a figure topping £24 billions. 

Then you must gaze at the largely foreign-owned water companies, who have taken out dividends of around £1.8 billions every year for the past thirty five years, making a grubby total of around £63 billions; and possibly a great deal more..

So if the dividends had been halved, making a total of £31.5 billions, that would really have covered the cost of around ninety percent of the funds needed to upgrade that 1,000 sewage sites.

So, all the Minister has to do is to state to the major water companies, floating happily on that self-same sewage, that there will be NO Dividends until all that work is complete and tested. The Government has the power to give OfWat, the Regulator, that power: let them carry on and make the water companies do the upgrades: out of their own greasy pockets, and with NO increase in the Water Bills.

What's in the simple English word "the"?

(The) definite importance of (the) article

Kassie Troy understands what this whole act of pedantry means, she lives in Greece, quite close to all the action:

There's a reason for this seeming pedantry, aside from "correct form" in English and the reason is tied in with the Orthodox Church in THE Ukraine. Readers, this is far more than pedantry, it is taking a stance. 

You may or may not be aware that the Orthodox monasteries are being attacked by Zelensky's thugs and so far, the clergy have been winning but obviously, against the Azov murderers behind the whole struggle in THE Ukraine ... they cannot hold out forever.

Kassie Troy is Greek Orthodox and is obviously at one on this issue with THE Ukrainian Orthodox and Mother Russia herself, which is anti-communist.  I myself am not Russian, not Orthodox, my christening was in the Church of England as my non-religious mother back then thought it was probably the right thing to do. 

The last time I was in a church was Chester Cathedral in 2013 for the commemoration of my deceased ladyfriend I'd worked with. 

There was a new, rainbow service being held by a Woke woman priest in the main part of the cathedral but the traditionalists had been sent to a different service out of the church, over to an outbuilding and up some stairs, where we could be hidden away from society so we would not taint the population.

In 2013 ... yes, even back then ... the church of england was no more. What's more, I went up to one of the priests/vicars/whatever ... he saw me coming and scurried away to a priest hole in the wall and escaped. I was already a known-known during the short time surrounding my lady friend's funeral and commemoration due to my difficult questions no one was prepared to answer.

Readers, there's a hell of a lot going on here that I'd wager the average Brit or indeed westerner has not the slightest clue as to what is really going on in this war for civilisation, soon to go nuclear. 

Yet our country's "leaders" and their leaders, the WEF, CFR etc. are happily sending trillions, plus equipment to THE Ukraine ... and for what?

Do you really, really think this is just about Russia itself?  Or is it about what Russia has now become a symbol of, out of the embers of communism?  

The last bastion?  Bastion of what though?  Think on't dot dot dot.

Here is part of a long response to Zelenskyy concerning the priests under attack:

And further on:

If you do doubt, dear reader, this very war for civilisation, look no further than the antiPope in that monstrous receiving room, telling the Imam that the two faiths are the same.  Opposed to that is the dissident priest Vigano, one of the lone voices out there.

The reason the modern, cabalist translation into English drops THE in front of (...) Ukraine is quite specific ... it's that "Ukraine" in Russian actually means "borderland" of the tribe Rus ... Kiev itself is the heartland of ancient Rus, long before Lenin and communism.   

In your insistence, in the cabal's insistence, in the WEF's insistence on dropping THE is also Lenin's insistence. This is what you're supporting by your dropping of THE. World communism.

There are two sides in this war for civilisation, as the cleric above points out ... you can support the depraved, drag shows for kids, toxic chemical train derailing, the Orwellian slide which the Obama and Biden touting west has become ... or you can take the opposite stance ... through one small gesture of every westerner to show its govts it does not support what they're doing ... that gesture being the definite article.

No Surprise...

The Make-A-Wish Foundation offers children with life-threatening illnesses a chance to live their dream: be a firefighter, adopt a puppy, go on a wild shopping spree.

But not every wish, eh..? Only those that they approve of. Of course.

But in an era of rapid medical advancements, what counts as life-threatening is changing. A case in point: the charity has announced that, beginning next year, people with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs, will no longer qualify automatically for a wish. The good news is that that is because the illness is, for many people, far less of a threat than it once was.

Good news, indeed! Who could possibly disagree? 

...there are many ways the genetic issue behind CF can manifest, and not all of them respond to the drug. Much of the early research on the illness focused on non-Hispanic white patients, McGarry says, and genetic testing often misses variants in Black, Asian, Hispanic and Ashkenazi Jewish populations.

Now, McGarry said, “we’ve turned it into two different diseases”. Ninety per cent of patients have variants of CF that will respond to the drugs. The other 10% continues to grapple with severe illness.”

Oh. Silly me. I forgot identity politics trumps everything. 

Other treatments, including gene therapy, are being developed that may treat these mutations. But for now, “I think that’s where we’re going to have to work with Make-A-Wish to make sure that they understand about the patients who don’t qualify [for the drugs] – that cystic fibrosis is still a devastating disease for them,” McGarry said.

So little white Jimmy won't get to make a wish, but little black Ayeesha and little brown Malalia will. That won't cause any issues at all, will it? 

Digital currencies or anything else for that matter

Trust no pollie, inc. Tice and Hamilton, no admins, nor the NHS, utilities coys, no one contacting you officially, no banksters, make no moves, click nothing you’re urged to online, give no money, except personally. Auto-oppose, you can always change your mind later.

Watch carefully all those urging this digital money control, keep a list of those names, any time they urge this, put out the list.

Dumb phones

DAD, one of our regular reader/contributors, has this:

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/03/29/dumb-phones-are-on-the-rise-in-the-us-as-gen-z-limits-screen-time.html

Dumb phones may be falling out of fashion on a global scale, but it's a different story in the U.S.:

Companies like HMD Global, the maker of Nokia phones, continue to sell millions of mobile devices similar to those used in the early 2000s. This includes what's known as "feature phones" — traditional flip or slide phones that have additional features like GPS or a hotspot.

DAD adds: {I never realised the for many years that I've been a trend-setter.}

Yes, I have two “dumbphones” myself and love em … zero data, no net connectivity … juss the calls, ma’am, juss the calls. Drives the company nuts. I hide behind my age and therefore my lack of knowledge of all things modern tech, I explain on my dumbphone to the girl at the utilities company or NHS … I’m juss an ole thicky, me. Silly ole Jimbo.

I’d suggest, Laze and Gem, that if you’ve not considered this strategy, now’s the time to start.  We are under cyber-pressure bigtime.

The War On Pets Continues...

Screaming headline!

Healthy dogs and cats could be passing on multidrug-resistant organisms to hospitalised owners.

Actual reality. 

However, the researchers stressed that the risk of cross-infection is currently low.

As usual with these reports, but most will just remember the headline, and they know it.  

Pet owners were asked to send swab samples of their pets and more than 300 did so.

Well, there you have it! These 300 are idiots. 

Of these samples, 15% of dogs and 5% of cats tested positive for at least one MDRO. In four cases, these microbes were found to be of the same species and showed the same antibiotic resistance between pets and their owners.

Four cases. Four! And when you dig deeper, it isn't even four... 

Whole genome sequencing confirmed that only one of the matching pairs were genetically identical in a dog and its owner.

Statistically insignificant. But no, these people have an agenda and they aren't going to let that stop them... 

“Although the level of sharing between hospital patients and their pets in our study is very low, carriers can shed bacteria into their environment for months, and they can be a source of infection for other more vulnerable people in hospital such as those with a weak immune system and the very young or old,” says Hackmann.

I think Fido and Tiddles will have to go some to beat the NHS in that regard, eh? 

Thinking whom to vote for

I literally have no idea which party, if any, the two co-authors are voting for, nor am I asking.  That's their thing, for themselves. In my own area, there are some independents, occasionally UKIP, Reform never appear.  Still early days but these policies look good to me, mainly because, unlike LibLabCon, you can believe these mean it:

Your own statements, readers and co-authors, are of course most welcome.
