Passing Observations 163

13TH MAY 2023

The British Medical Association seems to me to be determined to destroy medical care in the UK. They seem obsessed by the pseudoscientific myth of climate change (which some misguided enthusiasts seem to regard as more important than patient care), they seem happy to encourage GPs to avoid home visits and night calls (and some even believe that GPs should do their clinics over the telephone) and, of course, they are behind the strikes of junior doctors.

How curious it is that liberal luvvie Gary Lineker, keen tweeter and darling of the woke BBC, should be paid a fortune to help flog crisps. It is difficult to think of a food that does more harm to children and, indeed, to adults.

Around 40% of black businesses went bust during the lockdowns and will never open again. I wonder why Black Lives Matter hasn’t been more vocal. I expect they’ve been busy finding statues they don’t like.

Truth-telling doctors and scientists have, for the last three years, been regularly cancelled, gaslit, banned, censored, lied about and libelled. But this isn’t the first time that this has happened. If you want to know more about the way doctors and scientists have been oppressed and suppressed over the centuries please read my book Medical Heretics which is available on Amazon.

Most of us worry about eating a diet which is healthy for our bodies. We also need to be aware of, and careful about, the information with which we feed our minds. Everything on the mainstream media is suspect and should be dismissed as irrelevant and most of the material on the internet is equally dangerous and misleading. The BBC, of course, is a specialist at serving its victims an unhealthy diet of misinformation and disinformation. (Do it legally, of course, but don’t pay the BBC licence fee. If you do so then you are encouraging the deceivers.) Even Elon Musk has pointed out that the BBC covered up the side effects of covid vaccinations and spread misinformation about masks.

The arms dealers are desperate to keep the Ukraine war going. In their ideal world they worship the idea of an Orwell style perpetual war. It is vital to remember that the intelligence services (and I use the word ‘intelligence’ in the way that it was used in the legendary radio programme `The Navy Lark’) always like to maintain the idea of conflict and threat. When the Government of the day did deals with the IRA, the intelligence services turned to the animal rights movement for an enemy to justify their activities. And so, for example, they were convinced that the ALF was a major threat to the nation’s safety. They didn’t realise that there was no official ALF organisation at all. (In the 1990s I went to South Africa on a tour to talk about the perils of vivisection. Within hours of landing, I gave a lecture and was approached by a BOSS agent in a cheap suit. He claimed he was an animal rights activist and wanted to know if I could give him Alf’s address so that he could send him some money.)

Farmers and their supporters are still blissfully unaware that farming is doomed. They genuinely seem to believe that all the bad stuff that is happening to farming is happening by accident or coincidence. And they think that by speaking out they can change things. I wonder when they’ll catch on and realise that farmers and farming have absolutely no future. The plan is to make all our food in laboratories. Within five years farmers will find that their farmland is worthless.

The bowdlerisers who have savaged books by Dahl and Fleming have now attacked P.G.Wodehouse’s work. What a scandal. I’m glad I’ve got all his books in proper editions. How long before the politically correct censors set to work on The Bible?

Looking back I have decided that the first signs of the End appeared when seaside councils closed boating ponds and stopped renting deckchairs to holidaymakers.

This is a good time to stock up on loo rolls, soap, toothpaste and so on. Inflation means they won’t get cheaper. And there are no sell by dates.

The authorities want to stop us having real fires. That, of course, is why they built houses without fire places and chimneys. Real fires provide some independence. A real fire will keep you warm and enable you to heat food.

America bombed and destroyed Iraq (and stole most of their antiquities) and then charged them big money to rebuild their bombed towns and cities. That’s a good definition of ruthlessness.

The choice is a simple one: freedom or slavery.

Since 2017, the tax authorities in the UK have had the right to freeze bank accounts and to help themselves to any money they find therein. And the tax authorities can do this to everyone (not just criminals). I bet the mainstream media forgot to mention that. Account freezing orders (known as AFOs) and forfeiture orders require only ‘reasonable’ grounds for suspecting that the money is ‘recoverable property’. The standard of proof is ‘balance of probabilities’. In 2022, the tax people in the UK helped themselves to £140 million (twice the amount they seized in 2021). Fighting to get your money back is slow and very costly and only works if you can prove that your tax affairs were entirely above reproach.

All forms of statism are based on the use of (or threat of) force. And statism always makes the bureaucrats richer and more powerful. Those who attack capitalism (whereby people are allowed to get on with life without too much interference) are taking us rapidly towards the fullest form of statism – communism.

The UK is now controlled by an endless variety of quangos and agencies which seem to exist to make life difficult (or impossible) for the rest of us. These bodies, which employ 300,000 people, are mostly not officially designated as regulators but nevertheless like to sound official. These people, who search out power like addicts looking for cocaine powder, spend £265 billion of our money every year. The world would be a much better place if they were all disbanded. Sadly, the 300,000 are useless for anything and would end up enlarging the unemployment figures.

Company bosses are giving themselves huge pay rises even though their share prices are falling and in some cases plummeting. So, for example, vaccine maker Moderna gave its CEO $19.4 million last year (including a healthy pay rise) while shareholder returns fell by 29%.

In 1999, the average home in the UK cost 3.55 times the average earnings. That figure has now risen to 8.93 times average earnings. For house prices to be as affordable as they were in 1999, the prices would have to drop by 60%. Millions of home owners would go bankrupt.

The mainstream media has discovered that type II diabetes can be prevented and controlled by diet. Most doctors and intelligent readers have known that for many decades. What a pity that mainstream media health writers don’t seem to do their own research.

Britain has an entirely woke establishment that is forcing its absurd obsessions on the country. The cultural elite in the UK is left wing and knows and understands absolutely nothing about science or geopolitics. The leading academics and media professionals are nearly all woke and so far left leaning that they are best described as communists. The current Government in the UK is the most left leaning Government the country has ever had. Most institutions in the UK have appointed special departments to ensure that the institution satisfies diversity, equity and inclusion requirements. Britain, like most western countries, is now dominated by the demands of the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and Common Purpose.

The UK Government is spending £240 million to GPs to update their old phones with modern call systems so that patients can be refused an appointment more speedily. Why is the Government giving GPs more money? GPs have always made a big thing of being independent contractors. Is the Government now going to give all self-employed people free or cheap phones? Meanwhile, the Government has cut 30% from pharmacy funding in the last seven years, and pharmacies are closing rapidly. In the last two years, 160 pharmacies have shut. This will make it difficult for pharmacies to provide the health care alternative the government expects them to provide.

When my book collection grows too large for the house, I fill a few bin bags with books and take them to the nearest charity shop. I am now so fed up with being treated rudely by charity shop staff (I obviously don’t expect them to say ‘thank you’) that in future I am going to give excess books to local junk/second hand shops where the staff are usually genuinely grateful. In my experience the rudest charity shop staff are the ones working for a charity called Cats Protection (formerly the Cats Protection League). The other day I foolishly took one of their shops two heavy bags of almost new books. ‘Are they hard back or paper back?’ demanded a woman. ‘They’re mixed,’ I said. ‘I don’t want hardbacks,’ snapped the woman. Never again.

Am I the only one who gets confused by the labels used by various brands of homosexual? What’s the difference between LGBTI and LGBTQ? Why isn’t there a LGBTIQ? Where is this going to end? LGBTQIZFXR? I ask only out of genuine bewilderment and curiosity.

Russia has thirteen different time zones. Bet you didn’t know that. Bet you probably don’t care either. But it’s relevant because it reminds us just how huge Russia is.

Around 95% of the material on the internet is false or fake. (Certainly, I know from my own experience that 95% of the material about me is false – some innocently so and much of it maliciously so.)

High expectations (exaggerated by advertising, absurd media stories and the curious activities of ‘influencers’) are a major cause of misery and dissatisfaction. It is these high expectations, allied to a sense of entitlement created by an addiction to free money, which were the major cause of mental illness before governments everywhere terrified electors with imaginary plagues, climate hoaxes, dangerous lockdowns and toxic jabs.

Anyone who doesn’t believe the Climate Change myth will inevitably be described as on the Far Right. This is lie which is promoted because those who believe in the myth are all psychopathic communists. If you know someone who believes the climate change myth please buy them a copy of Greta’s Homework by Zina Cohen. They will be thrilled and will thank you for it.

School teachers are so blinded by their preoccupation with their own wages that they constantly betray their pupils. Many are still encouraging teenagers to consider careers in administration, accountancy, computers and the law. There will be no jobs in these areas within five years’ time at most. Teachers don’t like encouraging pupils to consider taking on practical work but they should. The best jobs will, in future, be cleaning drains and mending plumbing – jobs that computers find difficulty. (Our drains needed work recently. The specialist who came to clear them charged us £185 an hour and shopped at Waitrose. To save you working it out, £185 an hour works out at £2,700,000 a year.) Incidentally, I am sure that everyone was delighted to read that the Government plans to give school teachers more time off work. Apparently all those holidays and strike days just aren’t enough for teachers with time consuming hobbies.

When I was a lad I used to tour Britain’s TV and radio stations several times a year in order to promote books. After a few years I developed a route which made sense and which allowed me to visit three or four TV and radio stations each day (and to include a couple of newspaper interviews in between). I still have memories which made me smile. The other day I saw a reference to a radio station called BRMB, which was a commercial station in Birmingham. I used to make a huge series of short programmes for them and visited the station regularly. I remember that, like many stations, they had a ‘welcome’ board in the reception area which included the names of expected guests. One day I arrived to find myself being welcomed as Vrenon Cloeman. I have always thought of him very fondly and sometimes wondered fondly about the dyslexic member of staff who was responsible.

The US has over 600 bases in more than 70 different countries. The question ‘why?’ seems a good one though I am well aware that the question will never be answered.

When I was younger, I sometimes wondered why old people lived in houses which were often in a state of disrepair. I used to think it was because they couldn’t manage to do things themselves and couldn’t afford to hire workmen. But today there’s another reason: the effort of finding and dealing with workmen is vast and growing ever greater.

Robots are now performing surgery, with live human surgeons just keeping an eye on things (for now). Soon, the robots will work alone. Almost all surgery is now done on a day case basis. Patients needing hip replacement surgery used to need to stay in hospital for two weeks. Today, they are in hospital for less than a day. Is that really progress? I bet it doesn’t seem much like progress to the patients.

Why did the papers all report that William was proud of Charles? All Big Ears had to do to get the gig was to wait until his mother died. No qualifications, no interview, just walked into the top job at the family firm. Maybe he was just being congratulated for living long enough.

I went into a building society in the hope of opening an account. There were four members of staff visible. One was eating something from a plastic container. The other three didn’t’ seem to be doing anything. They said I had to make an appointment to be seen, so could I come back tomorrow. I’m not entirely convinced that Britain will ever regain its position as leader of the known world.

Junior doctors (the variety who are striking and demanding a 35% pay rise) start life on £37,000 a year. Poor diddums. It’s terribly difficult to buy a town house, a country home, a couple of decent cars and a foreign holiday home on that sort of income.

Terrorism is the use of force to reach a political aim. And so everything the conspirators (and their collaborators) are doing to drive us towards the Great Reset can properly be defined as terrorism. Our politicians and our police are all terrorists.

It is difficult to avoid the suspicion that Sunak was made British Prime Minister in order to destroy the Conservative Party and guarantee that a coalition of Labour, Liberal and Green politicians would win power in the UK at the next election. This coalition of conspirators will drive us onwards towards net zero. And they will put the UK back into the EU in order to please the fascist globalists. (Fascism is, of course, indistinguishable from communism). The Labour Party’s decision to allow EU citizens to vote in British elections and to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote will ensure that the coalition remains in power for eternity.

The Guardian newspaper has reported that NHS patients are developing cancer due to long waits. How clever of them to notice.

The Guardian newspaper also says that ‘In much of the world, journalism is morphing into propaganda, as governments dictate what can and can’t be printed’. Maybe someone at The Guardian would like to produce some evidence showing that the paper has been publishing the truth about the fake pandemic, the lockdowns, masks, covid deaths and the covid-19 jab. I don’t think I’m alone in believing that The Guardian is second only to the BBC in disseminating misinformation and disinformation.

The leader of a rail union in the UK has not ruled out the possibility that their dispute will last for years. The latest four seem to affect the Epsom Derby, the Cup Final and the Eurovision song contest but it is apparently just a coincidence that there are strikes on days affecting these events. I’m sure those members of the public whose days have been ruined will be very understanding.

A roofer has joined YouTube, Facebook et al in banning me because of my views on covid and the covid jab. He refused to mend our roof and collapsing gutters because his wife disapproves of my views on the toxic vaccine.

A friend who doesn’t have a ladder wanted to paint an out of reach stretch of ceiling which had a nasty water stain after a leak. He borrowed his daughter’s small, portable trampoline.

HMRC staff are on strike for eighteen days. Apparently, 19,000 tax officers are on minimum wage. I support their strike and firmly believe they should stay out until all their demands are met – even if they have to stay on strike for decades.

Just under a third of all clothes bought online are returned. The parcel and courier services are making money but no one else is.

Remember, remember: only fascists and communists, keen Nazis and very, very stupid people support the EU and oppose Brexit. If you want to know the truth about the foundation of the EU please read my book The Shocking History of the EU. You won’t find it in bookshops, of course, but it’s available from Amazon.

Got it about your being in GA. I moved to WV last summer after 30 years in CA.

I have to believe there are many folks supposedly aligned with the left who deep down ain’t buying their crap and will jump ship when TSHTF. Maybe just optimistic speculating on my part.

I would appreciate you thoughts on buying precious metals?

Big thanks for posting Dr. Coleman’s analysis, Edwin. And your comments about what’s going on in the UK are frightening yet necessary for people actually paying attention.

I’d like to report that things are better here in the USA, but I’m not a good liar. It’s off the tracks insane and getting worse by the day. Our “president” actually gave a commencement speech at a historically black university and proudly proclaimed that white extremists represent the most dangerous threat to our nation. Fear and unhinged “leadership” are the order of the day. As you know, humanity is under attack from every angle.

I hear ya, Dr. C.

But it ain't NORMAL, no way, no how.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, my friend, and WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TO THE END.
