The horrifying attack in Southport was an alarming uptick in the ongoing rise in violence across the country. The government clearly don't intend to stop it, but we can put pressure on police to improve. Protests are a valid way of demonstrating our frustration but they're being whipped up into violence and we need other options right now. We need to be asking the police to tell us what changes they're going to make to stop it from happening again. I contacted, separately, Essex Police and our Police Fire and Crime Commissioner. The PFCC has responded to my questions as follows: The PFCC "has responsibility for ensuring that [Essex Police] provide an efficient and effective service", according to the website. How does the Commissioner intend to ensure that the "efficient and effective service" includes preventing a similar attack from occurring in Essex? The PFCC holds boards on a monthly basis where he scrutinises the performance of Essex Police. T...
Killing puppies. Arresting people for outdoor gatherings. Police urging citizens to inform on their neighbours, friends, and family. This time last year Australia was bragging about how they had so quickly and efficiently eradicated covid. Granted, the early border closure was valid, but it's a short term solution that was continued far beyond its value. And stranding 40,000 of their own citizens overseas is the tip of the heartless iceberg of Australia's policies. Despite their original lockdown only lasting 2 months, the level of cooperation seems to have spurred on some far nastier actions. Firsthand accounts describe the military escort to hotel prisons upon arrival in the country - negative tests not accepted - where incoming travellers are locked up for weeks with dire looking food rations and little to no exercise. Police have arrested people for attending protests, planning protests, or even just posting on social media that they would like to attend a protest. ...
Neil Ferguson. Professor Lockdown. His word has been taken as gospel by SAGE, the government, and the British people, and his modelling influenced the decision to introduce lockdown back in March. Let's take a look at some of his other statistical works of art. 2001 - Foot and Mouth Disease! In 2001 Ferguson and his team produced modelling that influenced culling policies, including "ring" culling - slaughtering animals in neighbouring farms despite no evidence of infection (well, they could have been asymptomatic) This move cost the UK economy an estimated £10 billion, plus the wasted slaughter of over 6 million cattle, sheep, and pigs. The modelling used was heavily criticised by experts, who claim the modelling was "severely flawed", "not fit for purpose" and made a "serious error". Clearly, this heroic work deserved an OBE, awarded to Ferguson in 2002. 2002 - Mad Cow Disease! Ferguson predicted up to 50,000 deaths from BSE in the UK...
