Passing Observations 286
Dr Vernon Coleman
1. The NHS boss, Sir Jim Mackey, has said: `The NHS sees patients as an inconvenience and has built mechanisms to keep them away’. (Pretty well what I wrote over 50 years ago. Plus ca change.) He also says that the NHS is too often deaf to criticism, wastes a lot of money and uses too many fossilised ways of working. I look forward to seeing the necessary changes. First essential is the sacking of 90% of all the administrators. It doesn’t matter which 90%.
2. A survey shows that over 85% of internet shopping is done on weekdays during working hours.
3. If you want to know what general practice was like when GPs were available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, read `The Young Country Doctor’ series of books, set in a small village in North Devon in the 1970s. There are 16 books in the series. To find out more about the first book please CLICK HERE
4. We sat on a bench and watched holidaymakers frolicking in the sea. When we got home I checked the internet and found that the stretch of sea in which they had been frolicking is a broth of e.coli. The poor souls who splashed away will doubtless blame their sickness and diarrhoea on something they ate. Anyone who bathes in the sea or a river is reckless.
5. A group of Gen Zers who want to have children are campaigning for both potential parents to be given six months pre-conception time off work. `It is absurd that we are expected to start a pregnancy while still working full time’, complained a spokesman.
6. Delivery drivers are getting worse. I don’t blame them. I blame the culture which requires them to deliver parcels at an impossible rate.
7. Tax in the UK gets ever more complicated. Fifty years ago there were 1,500 pages of tax legislation. Thirty years ago it was 5,000 pages. By 2024, there were 22,000 pages. This is more than any other country in the world. The tax code has been described, by specialist accountants, as confusing, contradictory and incoherent. Many tax inspectors don’t understand it. And the code is desperately unfair. The VAT threshold of £90,000 means that a company or sole trader with an income approaching £90,000 would be wise to stop work for a while. And sometimes the code is downright bizarre. So, a London couple with two children in full time child care must earn £150,000 before being even slightly better off than when they earned less than £100,000. No wonder so many people now voluntarily work part time.
8. Thanks to a brilliant teacher, I can now play songs on the piano and if I were not a white, young, heterosexual Englishman I would be awaiting an invitation to perform at the Proms this summer.
9. Now that Britain has chosen to be a terrorism target, I wouldn’t go anywhere near public transport in London, or go to any concert anywhere.
10. Covid patients who weren’t put on ventilators during the fraud were the lucky ones. The use of ventilators was always irrational. Most of the patients who were put on ventilators died.
11. Ofcom has reportedly decided that global warm is real and need not be debated. The odd thing is that I think most intelligent people and most independent scientists think that global warming is a myth with a purpose.
12. I see that Gen Zers now believe that friends should be discarded if they are `not serving their needs’.
13. Britain is failing in every possible way. And is doomed. Meanwhile, the Starmer Government is planning to spend 5% of GDP on weapons. As far as I know no other country has threatened us. (Why would any other country want to conquer buggered up Britain?) Indeed, Britain seems to me to be one of the most war-hungry aggressive nations on earth.
14. Difficult to feel sympathy for the new female head of M16 when she was outed as having a grandfather who was a Nazi spy known as the Butcher. You couldn’t make it up, could you?
15. Why are seagulls and bats protected species? It’s insane. It would make as much sense to make slugs and rats protected species.
16. Analogue phones will disappear on 31st January 2027 and millions of old people will be left isolated, ignored and forgotten. That’s the plan, of course.
17. If you want to see my latest videos go to my website, press the VIDEOS button and go to www.onevsp.com (My videos on Bitchute are only visible outside the UK. My videos on Brand New Tube were hacked into oblivion. And, of course, my videos on YouTube were all deleted because they were all completely true.)
18. Have you noticed that more and more `experts’ who promoted the covid vaccine are now making a career out of condemning it? They made money out of giving the vaccine and now they’ve changed their tune and they’re making money out of criticising it.
19. A boy was sent to prison for 7 years for murdering an 80-year-old man (just half that if he behaves himself). I wonder if he’d have got longer if he’d murdered a policeman. Or if he’d made a politically incorrect tweet.
20. Last year, YouTube’s advertising revenues came to $36.1 billion. Anyone who has a channel on YouTube is helping the most oppressive, censorious and dangerous organisation in the world get richer and more powerful. (Anyone talking on YouTube about health matters is clearly approved by the censors.)
21. `I am prepared to bet Dr Whitty or Dr Fauci £100,000 that they cannot provide independent clinical evidence proving beyond doubt that the covid-19 vaccine and the newly promoted flu vaccine will be 100% effective and 100% safe not just now but in the long term. If they have the courage to take on the bet, I will share my winnings with groups and websites campaigning for the truth. If they won’t take on the bet, we will know that they believe that any new covid-19 vaccine will not be 100% effective or 100% safe in the short and long-term. Let’s put a finish date of 31st December 2020 for the bet.’ – Taken from `Coming Apocalypse’ by Vernon Coleman (published in April 2020 and still available via the Bookshop on vernoncoleman.com).
22. A penny that doubles every day will be worth more than £1M after 30 days.
