    UK seeks stronger powers to stop disruptive protests
    MSN/Reuters - Story by By William James • Yesterday 22:48

    https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...cb1c4879342d76



    FILE PHOTO: Extinction Rebellion demonstration in London


    LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government will on Monday announce new proposals to clamp down on protests, broadening the range of situations in which police are able to act to prevent serious disruption.

    In recent years, protests, usually on environmental issues, have shut down large parts of central London and blocked traffic on key highways, leading to calls for the police to have more power to stop the disturbance.

    The government passed legislation to address this in 2022, but is planning to go further with a new set of laws known as the Public Order Bill.

    The bill was published last year and is currently in the final stages of debate in parliament. It has drawn heavy criticism from civil rights groups who say it is anti-democratic and gives police too much power.

    The government wants to amend the Public Order Bill before it becomes law to broaden the legal definition of 'serious disruption', give police more flexibility, and provide legal clarity on when the new powers could be used.

    "The right to protest is a fundamental principle of our democracy, but this is not absolute," Sunak said in a statement late on Sunday.

    "We cannot have protests conducted by a small minority disrupting the lives of the ordinary public. It’s not acceptable and we’re going to bring it to an end."

    The government says the new laws, if passed, will mean police can shut down disruptive protests pre-emptively.

    The bill already includes the creation of a criminal offence for those who seek to lock themselves to objects or buildings, and allows courts to restrict the freedoms of some protesters to prevent them causing serious disruption.

    It builds on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act, passed in April 2022, which sparked several large 'kill the bill' protests.

    They were the softest on 'environment' protesters, while being brutal against anti-lockdown supporters early on. It looks to me like environmental protests have been nursed as an excuse to clamp down on all protests.

    Temporary Morgues are Being Built Across UK Due to Unprecedented Increase in Excess Deaths
    By Jim Hoft
    Published January 15, 2023

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...excess-deaths/


    The unprecedented increase in deaths has prompted the construction of temporary morgues in various locations throughout the UK, including tourist hotspots and airports.

    The Gateway Pundit reported last year that the death toll in England and Wales continues to rise, even though Covid-related deaths have dropped.

    As a result, health experts have requested an immediate investigation into the source of the rising non-Covid excess death.

    Health experts are still looking for answers and have called for an urgent investigation. They believed that the pandemic response, lack of access to healthcare, and even the cost of living crisis might be to blame.

    In short, health experts were “baffled.”

    Top British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a highly esteemed, award-winning NHS consultant cardiologist, stated that the deaths were likely linked to the experimental mRNA COVID vaccines.

    A recent report claimed 50,000 excess deaths were reported in 2022 compared to a normal year. The excess deaths in the UK last year was the worst in 50 years.

    Dr. Aseem Malhotra joined the BBC this week to discuss the shocking number of excess deaths recorded in Great Britain this year.

    “This is probably a contributing factor. The mRNA COVID vaccines do carry a cardiovascular risk. And I’ve actually called for a suspension of this pending an inquiry because there is a lot of uncertainty at the moment on what is causing the excess deaths,” Malhotra said.

    https://twitter.com/DrAseemMalhotra/...37487796850688



    Now, temporary morgues are being used as overflow space by hospitals in the UK with full morgues.

    This news broke just days after a nationwide alert about “mortuary capacity issues” was issued by the Human Tissue Authority, the agency in charge of regulating the storage of human remains.

    These temporary morgues, which consist of large shipping containers, are being set up in public places like office parks, the Mirror reported.



    According to The Sun, vehicles from hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital in Wiltshire and Royal Liverpool Hospital delivered bodies to the council gritting yard, which has a refrigeration unit guarded 24/7.

    Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust said, “We can confirm that we have opened additional mortuary capacity to accommodate an increase in need across the local community.”

    “Our mortuary service operates to the national standards treating the deceased and loved ones with dignity and respect at all times regardless of location. All our additional capacity provides privacy and has 24/7 security,” it continued.

    Meanwhile, two additional units have been set up at Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

    The Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which operates the Royal Liverpool Hospital, has stated, “It is common practice for mortuaries to have purpose-built temporary systems available.

    “This ensures that patients continue to be treated with dignity and respect, in facilities which are equivalent to a permanent mortuary, during periods of increased demand. Two of these systems, which meet standards set out by the Human Tissue Authority, have been deployed at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital,” it continued.

    It is not just UK.

    Funeral homes in Norway sound the alarm as they struggle to store all the dead people as a result of Norway’s skyrocketing excess mortality rate.

    The number of people needing funeral services in Trondheim City, Central Norway, has risen dramatically, according to the local newspaper Dagbladet Trondheim.

    Lars Svanholm, the fourth-generation general manager of Trondheim’s largest funeral home, Svanholm & Vigdal Gravferd, has said that the funeral home’s century-long history has never seen anything like the current number of deaths.

    “It is a marked increase, and we have not experienced anything like it in four generations,” Lars Svanholm told Dagbladet.

    “We have not had such an increase since the company started in 1922,” said Svanholm to local tv.

    In order to deal with the increasing number of dead, they have opened a cool emergency room in a garage.

    In itself this story wouldn't really rank as turmoil, but one does have to ask if it is coincidental that employees at Britain's Hinckley Point C Nuclear Power Station site, aboard this bus, may not have been purposely targeted?

    Maybe there's nothing to see here, but.....

    Major incident declared in Somerset as doubledecker bus overturns
    Police say emergency services at scene on A39 near Bridgwater after incident involving a motorcyclist


    Source: The Guardian - the UK's intelligence services pamphlet

    A major incident has been declared after a doubledecker bus overturned following an incident involving a motorcyclist in Somerset.

    Avon and Somerset police said a significant number of police, fire and ambulance units attended the scene on the A39 Quantock Road near Bridgwater after receiving the first call at about 6am on Tuesday.

    The energy firm EDF confirmed on Twitter that the bus was carrying members of the workforce at Hinkley Point C, the nuclear power station building site, nine miles from the site of the crash.


    This is a developing story

    Mystery deepens of British mother who vanished ‘into thin air’
    AFP - February 6, 2023





    Specialist divers were on Monday scouring a river bed for traces of a missing woman, more than a week after she appeared to “vanish into thin air” leaving her phone still dialled into a work conference call at an isolated rural spot in northern England.

    Family and friends of Nicola Bulley, 45, have questioned the police theory that she fell into the river in a tragic accident.

    They say there is no evidence for the hypothesis which leaves them in a distressing limbo.

    The mortgage adviser was last seen 10 days ago walking her dog along the riverbank after dropping her two young daughters off at school as usual in the northwestern Lancashire village of St Michael’s on Wyre.

    Soon after, her dog was found running loose “in an agitated state” prompting a member of the public to raise the alarm.

    With her mysterious disappearance making headline news, police on Friday said they were working on the assumption that Bulley slipped into the water.

    “Our main working hypothesis, therefore, is that Nicola has sadly fallen into the river, that there is no third-party or criminal involvement and that this is not suspicious, but a tragic case of a missing person,” said superintendent Sally Riley who is leading the police investigation.

    The towpath runs alongside a steep riverbank but family members point to the lack of any footprints or scuffs in the mud to indicate she fell.

    Her parents have expressed fears Bulley might have been abducted.

    Her father, Ernest, 73, said last week there was no evidence to point to his daughter falling into the river and he feared somebody might have “got her”.

    “There are two young children there waiting for their mummy to come back,” he said.

    Bulley’s sister Louise Cunningham added: “Somebody must know something. People don’t just vanish into thin air.”

    Police divers have conducted searches of the river but say they failed to find any sign of the missing woman.

    On Monday, a specialist underwater rescue team joined the search.

    Forensic expert Peter Faulding, chief executive of Specialist Group International, said the high-tech sonar used by his firm was capable of seeing “every stick and stone lying on the riverbed”.

    The result of the search would allow police to confirm or deny “if Nicola is actually in this river”, he said.

    Friend Emma White told the BBC the uncertainty was particularly difficult for the family.

    “Following the hypothesis of the police that Nicola was in the river, we need some evidence to back that up either way,” she said.

    In November, Bulley — who had frequently documented her walks on social media — wrote on her Facebook page about the spot where she was last seen.

    “Very foggy cold walk,” she wrote, adding that the area was “spooky”.

    Utterly nauseating coverage of the Zelensky visit to the UK.

    It would appear that his European tour is, amongst other things, a way of priming the sheeple for a big escalation of the war in Ukraine.

    ''''CLANG''''

    Jacob Rees Mogg goes into the STUPID bucket - with all the others, including Charles who had better watch his step because in spite of all the hullaballoo about him becoming King he isn't and never was very popular with The People - the majority (I think) wanted to skip over him and have William as King but that couldn't happen because of the succession thing having strict protocols -

    It's like they have all lost their minds and don't have the ability to look at the history that has brought Ukraine and Russia to this point - can they really be this stupid ...... looks like they can and we are in a spot of bovver.... a very hot spot of bovver...

    I'm not sure how the General Public are feeling about it all - I suspect many will just parrot anti Putin and anti Russia propaganda but I also suspect there is a strong undercurrent of fear at where all this mad warmongering is leading - ie to the ruin and destruction of Britain - when the Stupid Show gets really real and we become an actual target... unlike in other recent military escapades where the British public had no worries and slept easy in their beds and life carried on as normal... you really have to wonder if 'the chickens are coming home to roost' - as the saying goes....

    People love the tabloid hate thing with Trump or Putin, but once they start to see that they have to send their sons (and daughters) to fight on the front line I don't think they would bite on this one. Nobody really cares about Ukraine. Fashion not passion. That's why only the famous classes care because it's part of their career ladder.

    Ruling classes are hyper-sensitive about Putin's reach, but I think it's founded. Let me explain: mad leaders are vulnerable and they know it. It's like the west has gone to a new level of crazy over the last fifteen years, and at the same time Russia has gone to a new level of rational. An outsider, or time-traveler from the past, or our very own leaders, would look at what we have here in the west and easily say we've lost the plot. How many non-stop wars has America had? How many dubious wars has the UK been involved in? Our government, made out of career-only politicians, has literally sold us out so badly they could be confused with a parody sketch about a big-pharma sales force pretending to be a government. Yes, be very scared of a successful and sober Russian leader while we are in the state we are in.

    But Putin won't take advantage of our weakness in that way, because he won't have time: as you point out jaybee we will provoke Putin by feeding the Ukraine criminals until he has to deal with us and we become a viable conventional war target. Our leaders they aren't stupid, most of them are exceptionally smart and talented people. Yes this is terrifying.

    On a very personal note I'm going to add my controversial opinion that without Christianity the CCP is doomed, even if they succeed in taking Taiwan which is the first thing they'd do given any a chance. Since Russia has just returned to Christianity it will be blessed, and the rest of the west had it and lost it ... which means double trouble. Actually worse than that. This is not rational, sorry... just my thoughts about all of this, rational and irrational. You get the point though: I don't think everyday people actually care about Russia or Ukraine. I have my fingers crossed.

    Just when we think we might be approaching peak retard, then something else pops up to prove we aren't anywhere near the summit of this madness yet.

    @Matthew: "On a very personal note I'm going to add my controversial opinion that without Christianity the CCP is doomed..."

    I agree. The whole developed world has chosen massive and increasing subfertility (much less than two children per woman, on average) which leads inevitably to cultural and biological self-extinction - but is mainly significant as a symptom of profound spiritual malaise consequent upon deleting the spiritual from its proper central place in life. Only Russia seems to have recognized this, and rejected it - they are still deep in trouble but are trying to extricate themselves; rather than being consumed by self-loathing and national suicide mediated by official value-inversion.

    However; Russia has a distinct national destiny (IMO) - and I don't think its example of a church-led awakening can be adopted in The West. We must (I believe) develop a profound, motivating and transformative individual-led Christian spirituality - of a kind not before seen in the world except among individuals such as Novalis, William Blake and ST Coleridge - or, more recently, Rudolf Steiner, Owen Barfield and William Arkle (the last a name hardly known to the world, but someone I encountered in my youth in Bristol and Somerset - Bill Ryan's old stamping ground!).

    The Biased Broadcast Corporation is reporting on protests in Liverpool outside a migrant hostel. The article focusses only on what pro-migrant charity groups have to say, but according to my other half it's reported on the forum he visits that locals are fed up of the migrants approaching and hassling schoolgirls in the area, and they have video evidence of this but the authorities don't want to listen.

    Quote Knowsley: Three arrested after protest at Merseyside asylum seeker hotel

    Three people have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder following clashes outside a hotel providing refuge for asylum seekers on Merseyside.

    Crowds gathered near the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, where a police van was set on fire.

    Merseyside Police said officers had been dealing with what they described as an "initially peaceful protest".The force said missiles had been thrown but there were no reports of injuries.

    The Suites Hotel is located in the Ribblers Lane area of Knowsley, and has been previously named as one where asylum seekers have been housed.

    Knowsley MP Sir George Howarth called for calm, saying: "I have referred an alleged incident posted on social media, which has triggered a demonstration outside the Suites Hotel, to Merseyside Police and Knowsley Council.

    "Until the police have investigated the matter, it is too soon to jump to conclusions, and the effort on the part of some to inflame the situation is emphatically wrong."

    Sir George added: "Those demonstrating against refugees at this protest tonight do not represent this community."

    The BBC is yet to establish the nature of the protest.

    I'm not sure how the General Public are feeling about it all ... you really have to wonder if 'the chickens are coming home to roost' - as the saying goes....
    People love the tabloid hate thing with Trump or Putin, but once they start to see that they have to send their sons (and daughters) to fight on the front line I don't think they would bite on this one. Nobody really cares about Ukraine. Fashion not passion. That's why only the famous classes care because it's part of their career ladder.
    thanks for reply - picking up on the above point...

    Large numbers of the MSM watching public DO seem to be very vulnerable to the Psychological Operations pumped out and enjoy a bit of mindless hate as Trump Derangement Syndrome seamlessly moves onto Putin Derangement Syndrome .... even though 'they' parade Zelensky around like a mascot, as you say people don't care enough to sacrifice their children to the Ukraine Operation and I think the warmongers know they will probably have to use the soldiers that they already have plus some volunteers and won't be able to move onto conscripts and that hopefully will limit their aspirations ...

    but that doesn't take away the real dangers of missiles and other modern weaponry coming our way if this all ramps up and that will involve sacrificing the children - I hope the Putin/Russian haters understand that... because at the moment I don't think they do... ??

    Shrugs, it's a mystery - they're being unreasonable for no reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    But then when we hear the reason it backfires on the BBC. This is deceit by willfully obtuse journalists, and it's not subtle once you see it. When you see it suddenly things make sense.

    Over the last twenty years we've heard much the same story of abuse of young girls, sometimes worse, but the UK is still not rioting enough to be able to use the unrest as an excuse for tyranny.

    On that subject, it's seeping into the public's consciousness:



    Direct link to quoted substack blog:
    https://edwest.substack.com/p/our-modern-babylon
    ...
    Stead was most of all famous for the first great newspaper investigation, in 1885, ‘The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon’, on the scandal of child prostitution. Stead had bought a girl called Eliza for £5, on the premise that she was to be taken to a brothel on the continent, using quite dubious methods that got him sent to jail for three months.

    Despite this, the story succeeded – a national scandal which led to a change in the law, the age of consent raised from 13 to 16. The idea of English girls being trafficked into sex outraged and horrified the public, Stead’s story imprinted itself deeply into the public psyche, to the extent of influencing George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion — thus, Eliza Doolittle.

    On the continent it helped to inspire a genre of vaguely pornographic literature about the sexual perversion rife in England, a fantasy that belied the fact that late Victorian London was not a nest of vice, relatively speaking. Most measure of squalor and child abuse had declined in the 19th century and a teenage girl by the end of the century was relatively safe, compared to a predecessor in almost any era; public moral outrage offered protection, even if it could be unforgiving for those same girls who transgressed.
