Brainwashing Is Taking Place In Schools

Young children are being used as anti-vaxxer influencers’ to encourage dangerous conspiracy theories.

Pupils denouncing the jab as poison are appearing at demonstrations across the country as well as starring in online propaganda videos parroting their parents crackpot claims.

One ten year old has spoken at a string of anti-vax rallies, sometimes as the warm-up act for Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers Corbyn, where she’s praised as a child advocate and ultimate female hero.

Reading from a script with her father nearby, the girl claims COVID was a fake pandemic, that the vaccine contains a virus and anyone double jabbed has a maximum life expectancy of five years. She goes on to say it causes infertility in 80 per cent of girls and women.

Elsewhere, toddlers were being filmed for promotional films in which they were urged by adults to chant ‘no vaccine’ and ‘save our children’.

Online footage was also used to promote an anti-vaxxer group targeting hundreds of schools around the United Kingdom which was exposed by a newspaper outlet.

Medical experts have branded their claims as complete rubbish and said using children to spread lies was wrong.

The revelations came amid growing concerns about the rise of anti-vaxxers spewing dangerous lies and targeting schools.

In an event in Bristol in late October, a then ten-year-old schoolgirl branded the jabs as kill shots and alleged that many people had just dropped dead shortly after a vaccination.

The schoolgirl insisted the pandemic never existed and that in 2020 all the deaths and all the case numbers were false. Hospitals around the world were empty despite what the television told us and they locked us down just so we didn’t look outside.

She told teenagers the vaccine was a poison that would ensure they die at a young age and added that it has been said by numerous world experts that if you’re double jabbed your life expectancy is three to five years.

The Bristol demonstration was also addressed by former school governor Francesca Dill who runs anti-vax group Outreach Worldwide, which has targeted more than 100 schools around the country.

Just last week supporters held an Outreach in Edmonton, north London. Hundreds of pupils were faced by the group as they made their way home from school. They were given flyers advising them not to get the jab.

The leaflets contained out-and-out distortions of the number of deaths from the vaccine and falsely implied children were being used as an experiment.

Then again are we not being brainwashed by the media and government? And the Wuhan project really is in full swing now.

The truth is you’re being influenced by social media and the tragic fact is that people today live their lives through social media and believe everything without issue or verification, and isn’t this how the Catholic Church operates? Do not challenge their power or you will go to hell.

The fact is that no one really knows if the vaccines work or not, and this is a bit of a jib-jab project, and it does look like the media are the virus. I believe people need to make their own minds up on their own, either have it done, or don’t, but we certainly shouldn’t be forced into something we don’t want.

Of course, there are a lot of conspiracy theories going on out there, but not all of them can be wrong, and there are lots of extremely educated independent scientists throughout the world that agree with these people but are being discredited because it doesn’t conveniently fit the agenda of our rather too enthusiastically apocalyptic pharmacratic political influencers.

And given that these vaccines don’t demonstrably prevent someone from transmitting or catching COVID, and with no long term health and safety data to rely on, numerous families with naturally healthy immune systems are understandably concerned that they’re being shamed into pumping countless jabs into their arms that might do more harm than good, not to mention the mental health damage that it’s doing, with these oppressive and increasingly apartheidist restrictions, no wonder these people are protesting.

Cat-Calling Women In pubs Or On The Street Could Be Criminalized

Harassing women in pubs or on the street could be outlawed in a proposed crackdown on violence against women.

It was reported that the Law Commission is set to call for the criminalisation of public sexual harassment such as cat-calling and making suggestive remarks.

It will also recommend making encouraging hatred against women a criminal offence, in a Government-commissioned review of hate crimes, but it will stop short of making misogyny a hate crime as it was said to be ineffective and possibly counterproductive in terms of protecting women and sentencing offenders.

A Whitehall source told a newspaper outlet that the commission will call for a public sexual harassment offence, which doesn’t currently exist, and that it believes this fits with other work the Government is doing on criminalising intimate image abuse and will be more fruitful and better in protecting women.

Following the murder of Sarah Everard in March, Home Secretary Priti Patel said crimes such as flashing, verbal or physical mistreatment of women in the street were not low level and could lead to more dangerous crimes.

Feminist campaigner Nimco Ali, who’s advising the Government on brutality against women, said that the new legislation was like seatbelt laws and was necessary to change social standards.

This is not just about men, this is about women as well. Does this mean that when a woman cat-calls a man that should be banned as well?

What about young girls that set up social media pages? Girls that say they’re of age to talk to these men, but it then turns out that they’re not, but the man gets into trouble and nothing happens to the many girls that do this, this is entrapment and should also be against the law, but it’s not, and numerous men end up in prison for crimes of abuse because these girls were allowed on social media.

This is just another smokescreen of power to restrict freedom and human rights – your thoughts, opinions, speech, debate, whistling, it’s all being criminalised, step by step.

Up next it will be: ‘No officer, he didn’t cat-call me, but I felt his male gaze’.

It’s only a matter of time before unsolicited advances towards women will be forbidden.

Could you imagine PC plod sitting in a pub when the local exotic dancer comes on stage and all the men wolf whistle at her? All the men would get arrested and put in prison – anyone would think that there’s no serious crime out there.

Or there will be police officers in nightclubs to spot men who are giving unwanted attention and flirting to women, oh wait, that’s already becoming a reality.

And speaking as a female, there’s nothing better than a wolf whistle to put a smile on your face because most men understand boundaries and respect them, and women can be just as bad, if not worse than men so I hope it works both ways.

Flirting isn’t encouraging hatred of women.

What this will be doing though is putting more hatred on the average male who apparently should be seen and not heard.

Whistling or showing your appreciation towards a woman isn’t female brutality. In fact, most women spend hours getting dressed, doing their hair and putting their slap on, and they really like it when people notice, it’s called the mating ritual, and it’s been going on for billions of years.

Perhaps Priti Patel should be spending more time dealing with the real problems in our country, uncontrolled migration, rather than things like this.

A One-Bed Flat That Is The Most Depressing

A landlord has taken down an advert for a £300 a month flat after house hunters called it the most dismal one bed flat ever and compared it to Josef Fritzl’s cellar.

An advertisement for the apartment in Bolton, Greater Manchester, was instantly berated by renters after it emerged on Facebook marketplace.

Images of the one bed, one bath property were only taken from one side of the room, showing only half of the space, but no windows were visible, other than what appears to be a skylight in the ceiling.

What can be seen is an unmade single bed against the wall, with a double plug socket next to the bed, with what appears to be the former tenant’s phone on charge and two bottles of water.

The property, which appears to be otherwise empty, elicited dozens of jokes comparing it to a jail cell, with many asking what time the lights went out and what the visiting hours were.

Others were so enraged that they called for the advert to be taken down.

After getting hundreds of comments across the various listings, all were removed the same day.

Commenter Mark Keohane added: ‘F*** me. Even cells have decent windows. You absolute joke ripping people off with this hamster cage.’

Lindita Hope wrote that she’d seen bigger cells.

David Bowen said: ‘HMP Farnworth.’

One commented that they’d seen compounds in better nick in Afghanistan.

Another suggested it was an escape room, comparing it to the popular game in which contestants are locked in usually unpleasant or even horror like rooms and have a time limit to find their way out.

Many users said the property was so bad they felt compelled to request the advertisement to be taken down, while others suggested the tenant should be paid to live there instead.

One commenter wrote that it was disgusting and that the advertisement should be taken down.

Another added that they were having a laugh.

However, while the overwhelming majority condemned the flat, a small number of commenters defended the advert and suggested anyone looking to rent the room could bring their own furniture.

One said that they’ve paid more for a worse-looking room than that and that you didn’t have to use the bed, you could bring your own.

The landlord refused to comment.

But you can tell what type of landlord this is, a greedy unscrupulous one, and clearly knows that there are lots of desperate people out there that would take the room.

That room’s pretty good considering people are sharing garages in North London and it’s been going on for years, and councils look the other way as they have to technically house them if they’re here illegally – this country is unfortunately broken. However, the landlord could have at least changed the sheet, put a nice cover on it and some pillows, perhaps even some pictures on the wall.

However, rogue landlords are illegally carving up family homes to create cramped bedsits and they’re charging renters hundreds of pounds a month, which means that they’re breaking the planning laws.

Landlords are carving up suburban homes into what council officials describe as second-rate box room bedsits, in which entire families would live, paying hundreds of pounds per month in rent, usually coming from the public purse through housing benefit, and this is a blatant abuse of the planning laws.

These people are what they call slumlord millionaires, and this is wrong and it has to stop, and they’re destroying areas by running illegal flats and houses of multiple occupation, but then exploitation is the name of the game.

Virgin Media Is Offline

Virgin Media crashed this morning, leaving thousands of customers complaining of being unable to access the internet, make phone calls or watch TV.

According to Down Detector, which monitors website interruptions, there were 17,100 issues recorded at about 11:00 GMT.

Virgin Media confirmed it was experiencing difficulties, but said they were linked to its TV services rather than Wifi infrastructure.

The company tweeted that they were aware of a problem concerning TV services and they were working hard to resolve it as promptly as possible.

People across the country have reported difficulties, with hot spots in large cities such as London, Nottingham, Birmingham and Manchester.

One Virgin Media customer tweeted the company saying: ‘What’s happening with Broadband in PE4? Lost all connection can’t even contact on phone or app.’

Another added that the entire TV was down. ‘Glasgow, what’s going on?’ And asked if they’d been hacked, and was their personal information safe?

One customer, Alex MacLeod, tweeted: ‘Can you inform us what is happening with TV signal in Perth? I have no TV and can’t get onto the website. It also appears to be down. Tried phoning but can’t get through.’

Down Detector gets networks status updates from numerous sources including social media and reports submitted to its website.

Virgin Media also experienced a blackout last week, with more than 2,000 customers reporting a problem with their internet connection.

When it works Virgin Media is great, but that’s when it does work.

Virgin Media is ridiculous and not fit for purpose, yet the company have the audacity to bump up their prices every year while their service gets worse.

I’m not really sure why it’s called Virgin Media anymore because Richard Branson doesn’t own any part of it. He used to own three-quarters of Virgin Mobile, but now he gets paid £8.5 million each year for the use of the Virgin brand name.

Virgin Media is a British telecommunications company, which provides telephone, television and internet services in the United Kingdom, and it’s now owned by Virgin Media O2, a 50:50 joint enterprise between Liberty Global and Telefónica.

This country has become a farce. Nothing works properly and you get ripped off on everything. You work long hours for very little money and the money that we earn buys little to nothing and those products that we do buy have diminished in size with each passing year. Even confectionary has got smaller over the years, on the premise that they will make you fat. Boris Johnson should take a look at himself in the mirror sometimes, he might not like what he sees.

And we should expect to see a lot more of this. Electricity, internet and phone networks will all be down on a weekly basis now that we’re in this new green economy – it’s called the new normal.

If companies can’t provide you with the service that you pay for then you should be entitled to compensation while it’s not working, but it seems that they’re not accountable for anything, but they’ll tear you a new anus if you owe then even a penny.

Virgin Media is shocking and when you contact them, well, you’ve got more chance of contacting the man on the moon, but the moment you cancel your direct debit you get bombarded by them. I actually had an incident where I cancelled my sim card because I didn’t need it anymore. The chap on the other end of the phone wanted to know the ins and outs of why. I asked him to turn my sim off at midnight – guess what, he turned all my services off and when I complained they offered me a £10 goodwill gesture!

Downing Street Throws A Lockdown Party For ‘The Gazelle’, Dominic Cummings’ Protégé

It was reported that one of the boozy lockdown bashes held at Downing Street over lockdown was a leaving party for Dominic Cummings former aide Cleo Watson.

The Prime Minister and his Downing Street staff are accused of breaking COVID rules by hosting three celebratory parties in 2020.

On November 27, Boris Johnson is said to have given a speech at a crowded leaving do for a senior aide, who a newspaper outlet named as Cleo Watson, nicknamed ‘The Gazelle’.

The 32-year-old was one of Dominic Cummings protégés but has now left No 10 to write an erotic political thriller about the lewd goings-on in Westminster.

At the time Britain was in the grip of the second lockdown, with all indoor social gatherings forbidden unless they involved a single household bubble.

Friends of his former communications chief Lee Cain denied the event was for him, saying that he left in the first week of the month.

Then, on December 18, Downing Street staffers allegedly held their own celebratory party featuring a Christmas quiz and Secret Santa. At that time, London was subject to Tier 3 restrictions, with indoor gatherings banned and the rule of six outside.

According to a newspaper outlet, at each of the two parties, there were 40 or 50 people jammed cheek by jowl into a medium-sized room.

A source also alleged there was a third, smaller gathering on November 13, the night Dominic Cummings walked out.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesperson didn’t deny the gathering had taken place but he said that at all stages, the rules had been followed.

The Prime Minister’s press secretary added that they didn’t recognise that account, as they’ve said COVID rules had been observed at all times.

Asked which parts of the report were being dismissed, she said that she wasn’t going to get into individual aspects of speculation.

Separately, a spokesperson described it as total nonsense and maintained that Mr and Mrs Johnson had held parties in their private flat.

Sir Keir Starmer questioned Boris Johnson on the claims at PMQs and he asked if a party was held on December 18 as reported.

Boris Johnson evaded the question and told the Labour leader that all guidance was followed completely.

Sir Keir Starmer said the COVID rules at the time said that you mustn’t have a work Christmas lunch or party and that Boris Johnson was taking the British people for fools.

It seems that now, it’s do as I say and not as I do, and all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others!

At least when Matt Hancock got caught violating the rules, he resigned, all Boris Johnson can do is lie, and what about the police outside guarding No 10, did they just turn a blind eye to all the goings-on?

At the end of the day, when you think about it, we the British public are allowing the few to govern the many, so how weak are we to let them get away with it?

This is the Prime Minister of the country who makes the rules and forces them on the common people but doesn’t follow them himself and I’m amazed at how many people support him when he’s selling you lies – this country is doomed!

And Boris Johnson actually makes Guy Fawkes look great, after all, he was only destroying the Houses of Parliament, Boris is destroying the whole country.

What Boris Johnson should do is just admit that he broke the rules, and now he’s just digging a huge hole for himself, but of course, he still expects the people to take notice of him.

The Police Are Accused Of Being Soft On E-Scooters

Britain’s biggest police force will no longer routinely seize e-scooters being ridden illegally on public roads.

The Met will instead seize them only from repeat offenders or when needed to keep the public safe, a move that was slammed by MPs and campaigners who branded the vehicles death traps.

The force has seized 3,637 privately owned e-scooters this year, but anyone stopped while riding one illegally will now have the law explained to them rather than see their scooter instantly seized.

Peter Bone, Conservative MP for Wellingborough, said the new approach to enforcement beggars belief, and he added they should be hardening their position on e-scooters, not softening it, that they were a menace and a danger, and that if someone is riding them illegally they should be confiscated.

Sarah Gayton, a street access campaign coordinator at the National Federation of the Blind, said there was no excuse for riders not to understand the extremely clear law prohibiting the use of privately owned e-scooters on public roads.

She said the police should just take them from people who are riding them illegally, then people would quit riding them illegally, and that the accident rate amongst young people was terrible.

At least six people have died in accidents involving e-scooters since July 2020, with about 200 riders severely injured.

Scotland Yard accused retailers of marketing the vehicles without making consumers knowledgeable of the laws.

Commander Kyle Gordon, head of roads policing, said it’s especially unhelpful that retailers, completely knowledgeable of the risks they’re creating, continue to profit from marketing machines prohibited for use on public roads without adequate guidance.

He said that he was calling on retailers not to exploit their customers in the run-up to Christmas.

The thing is if retailers weren’t permitted to sell these e-scooters, then people wouldn’t purchase them because they wouldn’t be on sale, and if it’s illegal for people to ride these illegal e-scooters, then it should be illegal for shops to market them and they should also be fined for selling them.

Sadly e-scooters are here to stay and they will increasingly become part of our everyday life unless our Government stop these shops from selling them, but of course, they’re an inexpensive, eco-friendly mode of personal transport so people, particularly young people are going to want to own one.

These scooters are extremely hazardous to pedestrians, especially the elderly for whom a collision could be deadly, and illegal e-scooters don’t have any tax or insurance, so there is no come back on the person using one, but for the person who’s been hurt or even killed for that matter, there’s no personal injury claim to be had.

These e-scooters are often ridden/driven at high speed on the pavement and pedestrian areas and I for one don’t like them because being disabled I could be knocked over by one at any given moment and have had them flying past me and quite honestly it takes the wind out of my sails as they go past.

Next, the police won’t be prosecuting bank robbers, they’ll just be stopping them and explaining the law.

Our police are supposed to uphold the law, they’re not supposed to choose which laws they hold up, and we’re becoming a nation of doing what you like, where you like when you like.

This is a dereliction of duty. I mean, how difficult would it be for the police to remove an illegally ridden e-scooter. Just stop the rider, and if it’s illegal, seize it there and then, put it in the boot of the police vehicle, problem solved. But no, the police have now effectively validated an illegal and hazardous activity, so we should be seeing some more injuries or even worse.

Chris and Roberta Laundrie Are Selling Their Florida Home

Brian Laundrie’s parents are selling their Florida home after his death and the killing of his fiancee Gabby Petito.

A ‘for sale’ sign was seen in front of the North Port home of Chris, 62, and Roberta Laundrie, 55, which is where their son Brian was last seen before he disappeared and was later found in October.

The house had previously been swarmed with reporters after Brian Laundrie returned on his own from a road trip without his fiancee.

Gabby Petito’s remains were later found at a Wyoming park in September.

Brian Laundrie’s parents listed their home days after their lawyer said their 23-year-old son had been killed by a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

The family’s lawyer Steve Bertolino has dismissed allegations that Brian Laundrie’s parents had been involved in both their son and Gabby Petito’s death and won’t face charges.

Both Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito lived in his parent’s home until their deaths.

The Laundrie family home, which sits on a 10,00 square foot lot, is estimated to be worth an approximated $210,000 and $340,000, according to a newspaper outlet. It’s unclear if its connection to one of the most notorious crimes of the decade will help or hinder its value.

The FBI had previously received backlash after withholding information that Brian Laundrie had a gun during their hunt for him.

Steve Bertolino, told a newspaper outlet that one of the family’s guns was missing when Brian Laundrie disappeared, but that they kept it secret because they didn’t want the public to panic. It remains unclear where the gun is now.

Steve Bertolino said that they didn’t want the public going into a frenzy on that and he wasn’t deemed dangerous to anyone that he might have met out on the street.

A gun was hanging in his bedroom in photos taken by a real estate website before he disappeared.

For weeks, the FBI declined to answer questions regarding if Brian Laundrie should be considered armed and dangerous.

Steve Bertolino also told Insider that he had no reason to believe any charges would be filed against the dead man’s parents, even though the Laundrie’s had received national backlash for their silence when Gabby Petito was first reported missing on September 11.

Steve Bertolino said that Chris and Roberta are still grieving the loss of their son and are hopeful that those findings bring closure to both families.

Chris and Roberta shouldn’t be blamed because they’ve been through hell for the sins of their son Brian. They weren’t to blame because they didn’t kill anyone, they protected their son because he hadn’t been found culpable of a crime apart from using Gabby Petito’s bank card, and in America, you’re innocent until proven guilty.

However, what they did was extremely cruel because they must have known how worried and desperate Gabby Petito’s family must have been. At the very least they could have responded to them, but then their son did bring this onto them.

The problem is they might be able to move but the legacy will follow them everywhere, although it will calm down because, in the end, nobody will give a damn about what happened – what’s today’s news is tomorrow’s history.

I don’t blame them for moving, but they didn’t exactly behave in a responsible way, but then again, a parent is always a parent and they will always protect their child, and they’ll probably do what O J Simpson did and purchase a $1 million home in Palm Beach because in Florida homes are untouchable in lawsuits.

The Head Of Moderna Warns That It Will Be Months Before A Specific Jab Is Developed To Combat Omicron

COVID vaccine maker Moderna warned that it will take months to develop an Omicron specific booster jab as Scotland identified three more cases of the mutant strain.

Stephane Bancel, chief executive at the Massachusetts based vaccine manufacturer, said he expects the highly evolved COVID variant to cause a material reduction in the effectiveness of existing vaccines, warning that the outcome was not going to be good.

He warned that it will take until summer 2022 for Moderna to develop a new vaccine and scale-up manufacturing to vaccinate entire populations.

Scientists say it will take two weeks to actually work out how effective jabs are against Omicron, which has twice as many mutations on its spike protein as Delta. The strain is expected to make current vaccines significantly weaker at stopping infections, but it’s less clear how it will affect hospitalisations and mortality.

Britain yesterday expanded its current booster rollout for all adults over 18, even though the vaccines are expected to be much weaker against Omicron, it’s hoped that topping up everyone’s immunity to extremely high levels will give an additional line of protection against the incoming wave.

Scottish health authorities announced three more Omicron cases overnight, bringing the UK total to 14, and laboratories across the country are investigating hundreds more likely cases and there are signs the strain is already circulating in the community.

Boris Johnson will hold a Downing Street press conference to give an update on the COVID situation and lay out the sequence of measures that kicked in to tackle the variant.

Face masks have now been made compulsory in shops and on public transport in England. Those who are close contacts of possible Omicron cases must also self isolate for ten days, regardless of vaccination status, and double vaccinated people arriving in the United Kingdom are also expected to self isolate for two days, and only leave their homes when they’ve got a negative PCR test.

But UK public health chiefs have urged people to avoid socialising before Christmas except they need to, to further curb the spread of the virus. There are also calls for masks to return to restaurants, pubs and bars.

A SAGE scientist said the United Kingdom was very well equipped to fight another variant. Professor Paul Moss said expanding the booster programme would turbocharge immunity to super-high levels to help keep the Omicron variant at bay.

Although it’s been reported that this is a milder variant, but we really don’t know much about it at the moment, and we really can’t find a vaccination for every strain.

But then again, it’s big money for the pharma companies and we’re just the guinea pigs, and no one in South Africa is known to have been hospitalised with the Omicron variant, nor is anyone believed to have been seriously ill with it.

However, putting the fear of God into people so that they will comply with these draconian measures appears to be working. It also takes the public’s awareness away from the important things that the Government doesn’t want to address or admit.

If Boris Johnson doesn’t make enough people terrified of Omicron I’m sure he’s got nine other variants up his sleeve, and of course, Boris Johnson knows his career can only last as long as COVID.

Numerous people have had their two injections and many recognise the importance of it, but all viruses start off strong, but over time become more transmissible but less deadly, and if SAGE advisors weren’t so politically driven they’d admit to this.

Perhaps the Government are just playing safe due to their cavalier response to more unanticipated strains because they need to be seen to be doing something, and if wearing masks is as far as they take it then that’s okay, but if they push it, then they will find that many people will just ignore them.

Drivers Risk A Fine Of £5,000

Motorists are being advised to be cautious what they wear this Christmas behind the wheel because some festive outfits or winter clothing could see them hit with a £5,000 penalty.

Any clothing or footwear that isn’t deemed suitable for driving as it could compromise a person’s ability to control a vehicle, could see a driver in hot water.

A newspaper outlet stated that typically many people get into the celebratory mood with online searches for Christmas outfits, which have risen by 1,280 per cent over the past 12 weeks, and motoring experts at National Tyres and Autocare have urged those taking to the roads to be careful of what they’re wearing.

While it’s not technically against the law, failing to wear the correct footwear while behind the wheel breaks Rule 97 of the Highway Code and could be classified as driving without due care and attention.

The Highway Code says that a person should ensure clothing and footwear doesn’t stop a person from using the controls in any way.

High heeled footwear or boots can restrict the movement of ankles and shoes with a thick platform sole can impact the use of pedals.

While inflatable fancy dress outfits are popular, attempting to drive in one can affect visibility and the ability to steer or use the gear stick and other controls.

Failure to have proper control of a vehicle could lead to a maximum fine of £5,000 and/or a discretionary disqualification and nine points on a person’s licence.

Failure to have proper control of a vehicle could lead to a maximum penalty of £5,000 and/or a discretionary disqualification and nine points on your licence.

Michael Bourne, group marketing director at National Tyres and Autocare said that driving in outfits that impact your driving ability could cause an accident.

I’ve never heard of such nonsense in all my life, but of course, they just need another rubbish reason to harass drivers, and Santa had better watch himself out there, flying about with a hat and coat and bundles of unfastened presents in the back.

And it now looks like that our freedom to wear what we want has been eroded, like our freedom of speech, and I see nothing is being said about dash cams and other things hanging from rearview mirrors that can block line of sight, including people wearing a baseball cap which could also restrict a drivers line of sight.

So, now they’re telling us what to wear – the world is getting more and more like a prison every day, and this is all under the cover of COVID that the government have been ushering in a never-ending list of monetary penalties for the most trivial transgressions.

Back in the day, there would have been a public objection, but under the cover of COVID, now the British public have been trained to accept all and everything without issue, and the government are actually getting away with it.

Now, I could understand it if you were caught driving with flip flops on, that could be extremely dangerous, but who in their right mind is going to be driving along dressed as a Christmas tree?

This reminds me of ‘A Christmas Carol’, and it clearly appears like government want to be performing the role of Scrooge, and before you know it we’ll all be in lockdown again for Christmas.

The United Kingdom has gone stark raving mad, and soon Father Christmas will be known as Virus Claus, and Rudolf with his red nose will be causing a distraction to pilots.

Bosses Are Warned To Support Women

The amount of employment tribunals citing menopause has surged in recent years, and experts are now warning companies to increase support or face legal action.

According to figures from HM Courts and Tribunals Service, menopause was cited in only five cases in the last nine months of 2018 but jumped to ten mentions in the first six months of 2021.

Experts say women are frequently standing up for themselves over menopause-related discrimination and challenging bosses who don’t acknowledge or offer support for symptoms.

There are 34 recognised menopause symptoms, including brain fog, electric shock jolts, itchiness, loss of libido, joint pain and a burning mouth, alongside the better recognised hot flushes and irritability.

In a newspaper outlet in Scotland, one woman alleged her boss embarrassed her in front of co-workers in relation to her menopause symptoms, including an episode where she was called a dinosaur in front of customers.

She was awarded £28,000. In another case, social worker Maria Rooney, 49, challenged Leicester City Council of wrongful dismissal.

She maintained her anxiety and depression caused by menopause were ignored, and Aggie Kownacka, a recruitment worker, was told by her boss that it was no big deal that her cancer diagnosis would trigger early menopause at the age of 37, another tribunal heard.

The HM Courts and Tribunals Service numbers relate only to cases that were escalated to a tribunal in England and doesn’t cover a vast number of employment disputes resolved privately.

According to the consultancy Menopause Experts, menopause was highlighted only eight times in employment disputes in 2017 but was cited 116 times in the first six months of 2021.

Sinead Casey, a partner at Linklater’s law firm said the menopause revolution is coming, with increasing calls for more awareness and support, and she said that employers need to wake up and also leave themselves wide open to legal vulnerability if they don’t.

More than five million working women are aged 40 to 55 in Britain and approximately 80 per cent of those will have symptoms of menopause while employed.

It is also true that more women take off time than men do because they have to also take care of their children, then there’s pregnancy, maternity leave and so forth, but that doesn’t make them any less valuable than a man because I’d like to see a man carry babies, produce milk to feed them and be the primary caregiver.

The point is that women who do the same job as a man are also doing the reproducing and nurturing of the next generation and I’d like to see men do it because if they had to, they would also whine about the length of their maternity/paternity leave as well.

But it’s not just women, it’s men as well that are suffering because if you’re male and between 40 and 50 years old, companies want them gone because they would rather employ youngsters who they know won’t just keel over on the shop floor.

Menopause might not be classed as a disability, however, some of the symptoms might constitute a disability, meaning it could trigger other problems that could affect the body, therefore, an employer should make reasonable adjustments and protect that person from less favourable treatment, particularly from co-workers.

Sadly there are a lot of workplaces out there that discriminate against women, even in this day and age, and soon women will start getting the boot because they’re taking time off work because of menopause, and those workplaces that do discriminate against women or anyone for that matter, well, it doesn’t really say much for them, does it?
