Here’s a good tip I found.

🤣🤣🤣 You can’t be too careful, especially around xmas.

Absolutely. I honestly despair when JCVI put out statements like this, to excuse its repulsive, reckless refusal to offer free universal vaccination. It’s so wrong, I don’t know where to start.

And that’s why the protection provided by a good respirator is all most of us have.

She obviously felt she hadn’t quite nailed her disdain for immigrants who prop up our essential services in this post:

Ha ha, and this one too

And we can’t say they haven’t been practicing this scenario over the past 6 yrs. JCVI have been blatant about their cost/benefit analysis for vaccines since 2022, reducing access & normalising sickness until everyone pretends we’re all immune now, except for those who die & the 2m with LongCovid.

You’d be disappointed in my search history then. All you‘d find is Yorkshire Puddings. I rather liked this review and thought I might buy some to take round to Rachel’s on Xmas day.

Official public statement from JCVI (the body that advises public heath & the NHS) full of disinformation and ultimately responsible for all subsequent misinformation.

I hardly think the ‘pronounced gender gap’ needs explaining’ but I’m sure a man will be along any minute to do it.

This sort of demonization. Are you comfortable with it?

It is a bit grim today so I’m staying in to do some housework.

Luckily, I came across Bloke‘s new Household Tips blog.

Off topic - sorry - but your post reminded me of another brilliant tweet/post in a similar vein.

You could choose a job from this list.

But … but … JCVI told us all the opposite. It’s a complete mystery.

Oh alright spoilsport. I’ll just show you my Boobies then.

Ah, that old Anglo-Saxon lineage …

Well I, for one, refused to like it as he’s consistently rude and doesn’t understand to joyful community spirit of Halloween.

In other news, I’ve just bought myself a lovely doormat off of BlokeBay

I’m not oblivious, I‘ve just been preoccupied by other things.
