Any article starting with the exhortation "Imagine you're a normal person" may not be being written from a shared viewpoint, but whatever your view of current and recent circumstances, perhaps we can agree that we are not living through times that we would, two years ago (yes, that long), have considered "normal".

This megathread takes the trouble to look at recent turmoils from a historical perspective (don't worry - only five years or so) to identify the factors that may have caused our everyday presumptions to be shifted from their previous comfortable moorings.

It makes for interesting reading.

And speaking of "things that make you go Hmmm..."

Whilst restrictions in the UK have been reduced recently, the story in other countries is less rosy. 

Dave Cullen of Computing Forever tells it how he sees it, from the Irish / EU perspective.

Whilst SAGE has been making back-peddling noises in recent weeks, elsewhere the Covid passports are being ramped up.

"Now all you have to do is throw on a 'climate change' carbon score, mandatory 'vaccination', and a digital currency system, and you have the version of the 'social credit' score that is being built for the western world"

"... I predict a much more serious lockdown this winter, which of course will be blamed on the unvaccinated... "

Is Big Brother lurking around the corner?

Demonstrations around Europe - Germany outlaws demos - "The German judges said the protests should be banned because they would facilitate the spread of COVID-19".

More protests in France Italy Switzerland and Malaysia.

Migration was a key issue of the Brexit debate, and now that Brexit is, if not finalized, at least acknowledged by the world's governments, our government is now responsible for the control of immigration.

As the increasing flow of would-be immigrants in inflatable boats crossing the Channel, kindly shepherded by the French Navy and British Border Force, attests, they don't seem to be making a very good job of it.

Of course the cross-channel flow of illegal immigrants is simply the most visible manifestation of the problem and many suspect that government incompetence may not be the only factor at work here.

Migration Watch has made it their business to crunch the numbers and come to some conclusions.

Matt Ehret is somebody we have featured before, as is Dr Fuellmich - so here we have two very accomplished and articulate people - the historian in conversation with the lawyer.

The Daily Sceptic gives voice to the many who now want to know what our government is still waiting for before declaring the pandemic closed.

As they remark, 

"But why isn’t it over? Now that we have developed our vaccines and delivered them to the vulnerable, reducing (we hope) their risk of death, what more are we waiting for? What now is to be gained from perpetuating the state of emergency? That the Deputy CMO thinks it “quite possible” the winter will be “bumpy” is no reason at all to continue doing anything that we didn’t do in 2019. What winter isn’t bumpy?"

Below are the hospital admissions for Public Health England rates per 100K up to week 29, taken from their Week 30 Report:

What  turned this "middle class Mum" into an "anarchist"?

I suppose we might quibble with the word "anarchist". It implies accepting a level of violence and chaos in order to overthrow the status quo, but that seems not to fairly represent where she is now. Of course, nobody can predict the future.

This is a well-turned piece by a well-reasoned lady, and she struck me as very peaceful and level-headed and not at all anarchic.

I suspect she speaks for a multitude.

See what you think.

Today's excursion around the news outlets, so valiantly undertaken in Independence Daily by the indefatigable Viv Evans, pulls relentlessly at the various loose threads that threaten to unravel the whole casedemic.

Carefully crafted by SAGE and their accomplices in the medical establishments, the whole house of cards is in serious trouble.

Not to be outdone, The Daily Sceptic highlights the failure of the SAGE models ever to come anywhere near to the reality that they so assuredly predict.

"Yet the modellers don’t

Reality seems to be leaking slowly into the Parliamentary psyche . . . 

Sir Graham Brady has written a piece for the Daily Mail:

"I believe the real purpose of masks is social control - it's time to turn down the fear dial"

"When I asked a Health Minister in the Commons how she could justify banning healthy activities such as golf, tennis or bowls, she actually replied that while those activities were indeed safe, if we ‘let people do those things, they might think they can do other things too’"

Briefings for Britain report that Lord Frost is going to give the protocol pot a good stirring.

Apparently this momentous news has made little impact, even though it creates radical simplification of the customs border down the Irish Sea.

Will the EU nod it through?

Or is everybody of note on holiday and haven't yet assimilated the proposals?

We await developments.

The GWPF (Global Warming Policy Forum) notes the government plans for raising the costs of power in order to pay for EV charging stations.

The point about the switch from coal to oil was two-fold - convenience (oil didn't have to be shovelled) and energy density (you could go further on the same weight of oil) thus minimising the cost of carrying the stuff when used to power transport.

It's true that oil required the additional step of refining to produce a relatively clean fuel, but that cost was worth it. 

Government subsidies to persuade people to make the switch were simply not required.

Electricity has been around for a very long time, however is still tricky to store. It isn't available from wells and mines, it has to be generated at point of use, or transmitted via power lines. So it made perfect sense for railways trams and trolley-buses and powering static homes off a fixed grid, and was widely

Monday 19th July - "freedom day" - "Willsy" was "arrested" by the Metropolitan Police in Parliament Square.

"... the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only"

"CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses"

Read the full announcement.

Of itself this would not invalidate the RT-PCT test technique (although there are many who consider it unsuitable, especially at higher amplification cycles), but it does affect the assay used by the test to identify the target molecular sequences to be amplified.

This announcement seems carefully phrased but the implication is clear enough.

The GWPF (Global Warming Policy Forum) in their 23 July newsletter reminds us of a number of issues, and we are indeed approaching the brink of another UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, COP26 to be held in Glasgow from 31st October. It will be interesting to see how many luminaries come jetting in for the occasion - let us hope that Covid restrictions will not put too much of a dampener on the attendances.

On the other hand the GWPF finds little sign of the much foretold incoming climate disaster in current news, although it must be said that recent adverse weather events including severe flooding in Europe (not seasonal) and China (seasonal), and heatwaves and wildfires along the Pacific coast of North America and Canada
