Man Suddenly Becomes Superstitious Before Next England Game

Imagine, thinking that every action you do in a day could jinx the result for the Euro 2020 Finals with England and Italy.

Lee Monk, 27, from Essex was never superstitious before England managed to somehow get to the Euro finals.

“Is that a ladder? If I see anyone getting even close to crossing under it, I have to shout out to stop them! They could jinx England. I’ve also given all the mirrors in the house away. We don’t want any bad luck if one of them gets broke, innit!”

The other day, Mr. Monk saw his neighbour’s black cat walk across his lawn. He immediately closed his eyes and convinced himself it was never there, and proceeded to throw copious amounts of salt over his left shoulder.

As for walking on the pavement, Mr. Monk is terrified whenever he goes out that he might step on a crack and jinx England’s chances that way.

“I’m glad the England match is on Sunday 11th July, and it’s not on the 13th, or a Friday the 13th. I think that would jinx England too much, and I would be in a state of perpetual hell!”

Mr. Monk now walks around with a ‘lucky’ horse shoe around his neck and has his fingers permanently crossed until the final result on Sunday.

“I’ve even gone off spag bol mate! Used to be my fave, but recently can’t even stand the fuckin’ smell!”

Why “Experts” Have to Think For You

There’s something rather despicable and sad about people who don’t want to effect real change, whether in business, society or in culture. You see them on their tainted thrones, in their zoom call palaces dictating meaningless jargon to keep the rest placated. These are the ones who are simply running their mouths to keep the status quo going, and of course never to rock the boat in any meaningful way because that could endanger their precious salaries.

Of course, not every action can be ‘world beating’ or exact immense societal change, however there are times when those in power should make at least some kind of effort. Instead, we get a lot of mediocrity, and eventual nonchalance. What does anything matter if the so-called ‘experts’ don’t give a flying fuck about anything apart from their careers and salaries?

These experts are still wheeled out though, and the most awful part of the entire fiasco is that people in general need to be told how to think, they need to be told what is in, what is out, and they need to be told how to act.

All information now comes from a single designated source where history can be calmly deleted or skewed to suit the given programming agenda, and where anyone who may say anything contrary to the source is either completely deleted or calmly relegated to the outer regions of page 1600 or wherever they are never heard of ever again.

You may call yourself ‘Woke’ but you are still a pawn in a much larger game, you are a tool for the current economic agenda given to speakers (influencers) within the activist community to spread around to the ‘trendy’. Naturally, the masses follow the latest ‘trends’ without thought or individuality. These are the sheep to be herded, to be led to wherever the ‘activist trendsetter’ wishes them to go, and the blind sheep bleat excitedly as they are all led along for the ride. Yeah, you’re really making a difference.

Eventually, society will reach a stage where the ‘experts’ will tell people at the behest of their paymasters that snow is black, and they will agree without any hesitation or argument. We are already dangerously close to this ideal.

This Was Never a Pandemic but a Challenge of Mass Consumerism

This Was Never a Pandemic but a Challenge of Mass Consumerism

Mass consumerism is instilled in people from infancy, and the programming of humans to consume needlessly continues right up to death. There is little or no escape from the constant assault on each person to consume, consume, consume without thought or reason.

This is why we are seeing headlines right now about holidays on a constant basis, and the need to spend money on expensive stays in tourist hellholes in some pandemic hotspot. Forget about anything else, it is thoroughly important that you book a family get-away costing thousands where you may not only contract severe food poisoning but another Covid mutation that no one has encountered yet.

Within the mass consumerist West, this was never a pandemic, it was a challenge to the initial mass consumerist programming. We have seen extreme examples of consumerists who, in their extreme programmed state to consume needlessly, being denied by lockdown restrictions into doing what they were programmed to do from birth.

The education system is one that does not educate you as a human to increase your knowledge in any given subject, but to be a good tax slave and a good consumer.

You have to buy that thing, you have to buy a new car every 6 months, you have to have the most expensive holidays whatever your income, and if you cannot afford it now, do not worry the credit cards will accept your applications without vetting you. Even 12-year-olds from sink estates are given multiple credit cards to spend as they wish, such is the power of the programming to consume at all costs.

All TV shows and films are essentially adverts on consumerist dreams — how you could live a life just like this, as are the vapid Instagram influencers pushing their wares on anyone that views their pages.

There was no fucking lockdown. People were still frolicking on the beaches, partying in the park with friends, and the London Underground was full to the brim with non mask wearing commuters. International air travel was still open, and the ports were all open. Red listing one particular country was useless because travellers can use any airport from any country to bypass any country they want or to make it look like they came from another destination. How does one explain the multiples of Instagram influencers posting from sunny Dubai during the so-called lockdown, advertising their sponsored products?

This is why you have to book a holiday somewhere right now, simply because you cannot control yourself or your consumerist programming. You must do it despite the globe still being entrenched in a pandemic, and if there were crazed zombies out there looking for brains to munch on, you would still book that holiday abroad without even an ounce of hesitation.

We Can Only Bless the 700,000 Who Refuse to Pay BBC TV Licence

News that the BBC lost 700,000 TV licence fee payers last year, from March 31, 2021, with only 24.8 million Britons paying through the nose for the licence fee from 25.5 million the year before, indicates there are some people in this country who still have guts and morals.

The 700,000 brave souls within the United Kingdom should be praised for their fortitude in resisting against an unjust tax from a partisan biased institution that churns out mediocre content plus constant reruns that effectively solely serves the Woke Labour Party and the Corbynista Bolshevik revolutionary communist army as well as the EU.

The treatment of the over-75s by the BBC is a despicable statement of almost criminal neglect for those who have supported the channel for their entire lives.

The only positive action that has come from the BBC recently is the dumping of the limp leftist Mash Report, a putrid pustule of rotting suppurating puss presented by some militant cunt with more than a few chips on his festering shoulders.

The BBC as it stands is a channel that only serves the Metropolitan champagne socialist set, even abandoning the British working class in favour of Wokism. Putting trigger warnings on classic shows like Blackadder, and pandering to the Woke agenda, is just another footstep into the grave.

More people need to boycott the BBC and its unjust licence, that pays the likes of Gary Lineker over £3.5 million of taxpayers money each year. Lineker only has to work once every two or three times a week for a 45-minute session to earn his grotesque fee.

The numbers refusing to pay the BBC licence must increase year-on-year. If you too are fed up with the BBC at its current condition, act now. Cancel your subscription, and you will feel a lot better for acting positively.

ACTION

  1. Never read the threatening letters the BBC sends you, just put them straight into recycling.
  2. If a Stasi TV inspector comes to your door, you are entitled to deny them access.
  3. Never answer any questions from a TV inspector, just shut the door in their face.
  4. You are allowed to watch Netflix or other non-live streaming service on your television without a TV licence. Be sure to detune the BBC and remove it from your program list.

Thanks to Weak Biden Taliban Rule Afghanistan Once Again

As soon as the U.S. and its coalition allies abandoned the key holding position of Bagram airbase, handing it over to the poorly trained and equipped Afghan Army, the Taliban commanders in the area pricked their ears up, intelligence reveals that the Americans left behind many valuable pieces of equipment including deactivated radar equipment and hundreds of vehicles. The Afghan engineers managed to reactivate the equipment of this veritable treasure trove of useful high-end tech, and numerous Taliban commanders are now planning to rout the base to take what they need.

The retreating Americans left in such a hurry, they left behind them millions of dollars of equipment that will be put to good use by the Taliban.

20 Years Hard Work Undone by One Man – Biden – in One Month

In the Badakhshan Province, over 1000 fleeing Afghan army personnel crossed the border into Tajikistan chased by the Mujahideen. The provincial capital of Faizabad is on the verge of collapse as the Taliban bear down on the city. The Afghan officials who were meant to be in charge, have already fled to Kabul in fear for their lives, abandoning the city to its fate.

As for the fate of the thousands of staff who served the American troops, and newly empowered women in the country, they are now living in perpetual fear as the Taliban squads conquer vast portions of territory day by day.

Also captured is the provincial city of Farah in the west of the country. The ease in which the Taliban are gaining territory is alarming to many, much of the time the Afghan army forces surrender without a fight or join the Taliban.

In Wardak Province, the Taliban captured the Sultan Khil military base without a shot being fired as the Afghan army fled in abject terror.

The commander accompanying us said his fighters had taken 70 sniper rifles, 900 guns, 30 Humvees, 20 army pickups and 15 articulated military trucks.

Taliban fighters showed us shipping container after shipping container on the base stashed full of the world’s most developed weapons.

There were satellite phones, grenades, mortars, bullets, empty containers for sniper rifles and a range of ammunitions. Many had labels on the front saying “Property of USA Government”.

The hardest part of the abandonment of Afghanistan by the coalition led by America is the plight of the young women who tasted a time of empowerment through education. Under Taliban rule, they will be punished, and Afghan society will once again regress to its brutal Middle Ages stance where women can only be used as work horses at home as well as vessels to bear children for the Mujahideen soldiers.

Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender have effectively condemned hundreds of thousands of Afghans to certain death.

It is only a matter of time before most of Afghanistan, including Kabul will capitulate to the might of the Taliban warlords.

History repeats itself in funny ways, as Biden mumbles on incoherently, millions will be getting ready to flee Afghanistan for good, but it all does not matter any more, Joe Biden will forget what or where Afghanistan was…all a distant memory lost in the Swiss cheese mind of a man who does not remember or care about anything any more.

10 Reasons Why Data Analysts Are an Integral Part of Any Business

The world of technology is rapidly changing how all businesses operate. Factors such as data analysis, expertise and knowledge are having a huge impact on the way company’s use technology to run their business on a daily basis. Data analysts are essential for every company, as they can give a business all the relevant information it needs to improve its visibility and help increase the amount of traffic to their sites.

Data analysis can have a number of essential and valuable benefits for any business. Below are ten reasons why data analysts are a crucial part of every company.

Obtain Accurate Data

pexels-pixabay-259006Data analytics enables a business to obtain accurate data, which can be crucial in aiding effective decision-making. The risk of human error is more likely to be eliminated when more accurate and relevant data is gathered. One of the huge benefits of accurate data collection is that it allows a business to pinpoint its strong and weak areas. Looking at the accurate sales across a specific period of time helps a company highlight what areas of the business are successful and what areas need more attention. This can help the majority of companies to save time by focusing solely on the areas which need improvement.

Following on from business improvements, data analysis and management can help a company create stronger sales and marketing strategies that will appeal to more consumers. Based on the sales data, companies can spot trends in what consumers like and use this to implement targeted strategies to help boost sales.

Helps Resolve Potential Problems

Every company wants to do what it can to avoid losses. To achieve this, potential problems that may arise need resolving, as these can cause huge halts mid-operation for any business. Data analysis helps encourage a business to make informed decisions on its operations, which could potentially help the business avoid any occurrence of loss.

A data analyst can identify problems in the business structure which could affect the quantity and quality of production. With regard to employees, data analysis can also help a company highlight further issues that may arise in response and risk of injury.

Cost-Effective

pexels-fauxels-3183131One of the main aims for any business is to make sales and increase profitability, and one of the keyways to achieve this is through having a business structure that runs smoothly and effectively. With a strong data analysis system, a business can highlight what sectors are using unnecessary finances and allows them to cut these costs as it gives them a strong reason as to why this sector no longer needs it.

Data analytics can give a clear understanding on which products/services sell and which advertising methods work, which all help to save costs for a business and allows finances to be spent more effectively. Taking a data analyst course or encouraging employees to do so can help contribute to a more successful company in the long run and help any business climb the ranks in its sector.

Highlights Target Audience

It has been suggested that one of the best aspects of data analysis is the fact that it can help any business detect its target market. One of the benefits of data analysis is that it checks the performance of products on the market. Businesses can gain an insight into which products are more suited to specific clients and as a result, help them determine which area they are going to focus on in order to appeal to a customer base and generate more profit.

Target Future Trends

If a business wants to improve its profitability and stay relevant in the ever-changing market, then it is important to be aware of future trends in consumer behaviour. Data analysis can help a business achieve this valuable information and from this, products and services can be created that will help a company climb to the top of its industry. Having the ability to explore new innovations can help a business become more profitable in the long run.

Increases Business Productivity

analysis-1841158_1280Meaningful truth is derived from data analysis. This can help a company experience a boost in productivity levels and help generate overall business growth. A good example of this, is that data could suggest that employees work more effectively for their company when working remotely and benefit from having flexibility with their hours. Due to the strength of the data, a company may then decide to implement a work-from-home policy for its employees. This would then see a potential increase in business productivity.

Data analysis not only helps companies identify patterns in sales, but it can also help contribute to the overall structure of the business model and encourage a business to implement policies and strategies that will help employees and contribute to a more efficient working environment.

Implements Effective Decision-Making

Data and analytics are the secret to success in almost every business. As briefly mentioned, data analytics can allow a company to make effective decisions that will have a successful impact on the business, focusing more on areas that need improvement.

If a company bases their decisions on data analytics, then they are likely to obtain an upper hand over their competitors. This is because decisions are based on genuine and accurate data as opposed to guesswork or ambiguous information which can often lead to human error.

Timesaving

In business, time is money. Data analytics can help turn hours of work into minutes by evaluating and assessing large volumes of data at a fast pace whilst also improving the quality of work. There are a number of tips and tricks that a data analyst can use to help save time and increase productivity. The information is all out there at the click of a button.

A data analytics course can help give you knowledge and expertise on how you can use these processes to contribute to better productivity for any company you work for.

Potential Increase in Sales

As previously mentioned, data analysis helps a company identify what products appeal to their target market. Data analytics can also help a business set the price points of new products in a way that will help maximise sales and revenue. By using data, a company can test several pricing structures to help determine what the optimal price is for each solution.

It can seem that offering the lowest price possible to a consumer can be more appealing. However, many companies find that increasing the price of a product or service can help maximise revenue. Although the number of potential sales can initially decrease, the growing size of each sale can help achieve an increase in overall revenue.

Data analysis is an essential process to help any company reach success. If you are keen about the world of business, then it can be valuable to partake in a data analysis or data analytics course to help widen your knowledge on this detailed process. Data analysts are an integral part of any business and can help identify patterns and trends that may help a company climb to the top of its sector. The power of data analysis should never be underestimated and can be the ultimate secret to success.

Biden Has No Control Over Any of His Actions Including Nuke Button

When a guy has to read notes dictated to him by others to answer a simple question in front of TV cameras, you know it’s all over.

If this was a boxing match and a boxer just got up from a count, the referee would stop the fight.

“Biden was stumbling all over the place in this pie shop. Not only was he tripping over his own feet, bumping into things and people, but his words were completely garbled. There were long silences as he just stopped mumbling in mid-sentence for no apparent reason, then he would take notes out of his pocket, before trying to answer the question mumbling incoherently,” one shocked observer revealed.

The most incredible part of this horrendous saga is that Biden has the nuke codes, he has the authorisation to start a global nuclear conflict in the time space of five minutes if it went through his Swiss cheese brain. If the generals say go, he will agree without hesitation, as he does to everything else.

“As everything is dictated to Biden, what to say, what to do and how to do it, would it be any surprise if some Neocon U.S. military generals all got together to bombard Biden with requests to nuke Moscow or wherever? There would literally be no opposition simply because Biden cannot make a single decision or thought himself. People just don’t realise the amount of danger we are in daily with Joe Biden falling over the fucking place,” another worried observer revealed on Monday.

Enjoy a good night’s sleep knowing that Biden could start a global nuclear war at any moment.

Why Do Stars Twinkle: Exciting Scientific Beauty

The night sky, strewn with hundreds of thousands of twinkling stars, has always attracted people. It fascinates with its beauty and at the same time frightens observers. In ancient times, our ancestors thought that the stars are the people’s souls, living or nails that hold the sky. They came up with many explanations for why stars shine at night, and for a long time, the Sun was considered a completely different object from stars.

Today, science has made a big leap forward, and we know the truth. But yet people tend to romanticize this phenomenon. Many even prefer to present stars, considering this a special manifestation of sincere feelings. By the way, there are many such offers, but when deciding to make such an original gift, you need to choose the best place to buy a star!

Major Causes of Star Twinkling

The light of the earth takes on a shimmer as it transitions from a high-density atmospheric layer to a low-density layer. The reasons:

  • Air masses are not stationary. They constantly move relative to each other;
  • As a rule, warmed air rushes upward, while cold air rushes downward;
  • Refraction of light by air occurs in different ways and depends on the temperature;
  • If light from a layer of low-density air passes into a layer of higher density, light flickering occurs. The boundaries of the luminaries will be unclear, and the size of these celestial bodies increases, their brightness changes.

The phenomenon in which there is a change in the intensity of radiation is called flicker. The sun is also a star closer to the Earth’s surface than the stars that we can at night. The sun is not a point in the sky. We perceive it as a huge, uniformly flickering disc. If it were removed from the Earth at a colossal distance, it would become lost among other stars and twinkle no worse than them.

Why do Planets, Unlike Stars, Not Twinkle But Shine Evenly?

It is easy to distinguish a star from a planet, even being far from astronomy. The planets’ shine is calm. The stars flicker all the time, as if flashing, trembling, changing brightness, and bright stars not high above the horizon are still constantly shimmering in different colours. Planets are much closer to Earth. We can see them like a luminous circle. Due to their blinding brightness, these sizes are almost imperceptible (i.e., they have measurable angular sizes). Each object of such a circle twinkles. Though, all the points are changing their brightness and colour independently and not simultaneously! So, they are averaged and smoothed. The decrease in the brightness of one point coincides with another. So, the overall intensity of the planet’s light remains unchanged.

Thus, the planets appear to us to be non-flickering because their visible disk flickers at several points at once. But it happens at different moments in time – and this is all smoothed and averaged. It is interesting that with significant disturbances in the earth’s atmosphere, for example, storms, planets can also twinkle.

Do All the Stars Twinkle the Same?

No, not all! For example, planets reflect sunlight and do not shine. Venus and Mars look like huge bright stars in the sky, but the difference lies in the absence of their twinkling. The Gemini Constellation is one of the most famous, perhaps since its two main stars, Castor and Pollux, twinkle very brightly and are easy to find. Planets located closer to the earth’s surface are perceived by people as small discs and not small dots. Light is reflected from different areas of the discs. Despite the same refraction, the refraction is uneven. Some areas of the disc reflect bright light, others the dimmest. A moment later, they change. Because the average intensity of radiation from the entire disk surface remains unchanged, the disk will reflect an even, unblinking light.

The Blinking Colour of a Star Depends on its Temperature & Age!

First, the stars themselves have different colours. It depends on the intensity and temperature of the thermonuclear reaction. The higher the degree, the closer the colour of the celestial body is to white or blue. The coldest stars are red. It is possible to observe this colour-change action if you heat the metal. Due to the degree of incandescence, it will change colour from red to white at the point of the highest temperature. Astronomers have learned to determine their age by the temperature and colour of these celestial bodies. The age of the star is at an end. It starts with an explosion (during this period, the star has the highest temperature) and a white or blue glow.

With a gradual decrease in the intensity of reactions, the colour will change. It shines first with yellowish and then red shades at the end of its cycle.

What’s the Best Way to See Stars Twinkling?

The twinkling of the stars can be best taken closer to the zenith when the atmosphere is calm. Look at the stars closest to the horizon. It’s amazing – they flicker much more! Please note that:

  • We can only observe stars through a dense layer of air. Therefore, there are many air currents between us and the stars;
  • Those stars that are located at an altitude of more than 55° will not show you how they change colour;
  • If you observe celestial bodies that are below 30°, then you can enjoy an unforgettable sight. You might even be lucky to see radiance in all spectrum of colours.

The cherished dream of any fan of the sky is to see Sirius shimmer! In winter, when it is located low above the horizon, it will sparkle with bright colours!

Freedom Day: Government Policy Now of Covid Denial?

Vilifying Covid deniers quite rightly used to be government policy, but now the so-called ‘Freedom Day’ is one that endorses Covid denial.

Despite major warnings from scientists and virologists who actually know what’s going on, the government is actively ignoring scientific advice from SAGE.

The numerous Covid mutations swilling around, will continue to spread even if people have been vaccinated twice. It does not matter if you are vaccinated, you can still get Covid and you can still spread it around. Yes, hospitalisations are down in contrast to infections however give it time, and they will also rise. The virus is constantly adapting, learning, and mutating to not only survive, but flourish.

The Global Pandemic is NOT Over

Currently, there has been reported a surge in cases of Covid in South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. More than 26,000 new cases were reported on Saturday, up from 24,000 the previous day, according to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, surpassing the highest number of new cases in previous waves and quickly bringing many hospitals to capacity.

In South East Asia,  Indonesia, is facing an unprecedented Covid crisis after many hospitals reported oxygen supplies were almost depleted.

Israeli Scientists: Delta Variant Can Bypass Vaccine

Ignore science at your own peril, what use is money when there’s no one left to spend the fucking stuff?

We can only wait now for the winter months when the deaths will start piling up, and then rinse and repeat the whole process again next year.

In about four or five years, Britain’s population should be reduced by about 60% because some humans just don’t seem to get it.

Not only did Britain hold some very laissez-faire lockdowns that were instated way too late with minimal international travel blockades, but it now is proposing total non-adherence to any precautions whilst the globe is still in the midst of a pandemic as well as ignoring scientific advice.

Freedom Day is Freedom to Die Day. Enjoy!
