Anti-lockdows, masks and mandatory vaccination protestors joined with anarchist groups and set fire to an effigy of Boris Johnson during London's annual Million Mask March this evening. Hundreds of people, many wearing Guy Fawkes masks, gathered in central the city centre for the anti-government demonstration.

As a large group of protestors burned an effigy of the Prime Minister in Trafalgar Square, police moved in on people at nearby streets as fireworks were aimed at them. There were several small clashes as protesters gathered in a handful of key locations, including Oxford Circus.

The Million Mask March has been held every year since 2012, and sees protesters rally against government corruption and wealth inequality.

But as of last year, the event also became a protest against Covid-19 restrictions, with 200 people arrested at last year’s demonstration.Official figures for arrests at this year's event have not yet been released but with public anger at this supposedly conservative government's authoritarian handling of the COVID pandemic running so high last year's figures  could easily be exceeded. Not that such a major news story is likely to get a mention in mainstream news either on TV or in print.

Protesters marched through Parliament Square, Trafalgar Square, and Oxford Street on Friday,  5 November marking the annual Million Mask March, which draws big demonstrations each year on November 5 against government overreach, income inequality, and, more recently, Covid-19 restrictions. Many demonstrators sported Guy Fawkes masks to honour the fictionalised anti-government character depicted in Alan Moore’s ‘V for Vendetta’ graphic novel, on the commemoration day for the real Guy Fawkes who in 1605, along with fellow conspirators tried to blow up the English Parliament assembly, which King James 1 was attending at the time.

“Boris lied, people died,” protesters chanted as they made their way through the streets. At one point, a group of demonstrators burned an effigy of Johnson in protest of the country’s Covid restrictions.

Police eventually moved in on the crowd and clashed with some protesters after fireworks were set off, some reportedly close to officers and other individuals.

Metropolitan Police said in a statement that its officers were forced to “engage” after “a crowd in Parliament Square have been dangerously lighting fireworks and rockets.” Police said they moved into the crowd to “remove any fireworks and prevent people coming to harm.”

The force had earlier announced they were preparing for the demonstrations with a “significant policing plan.” Officers were in London in riot gear, ready for crowds.

Conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn was spotted among the crowds tonight, after being arrested for breaking lockdown rules at last year’s march.

A Met Police spokesperson said: ‘A crowd in Parliament Square have been dangerously lighting fireworks and rockets.

‘Some have struck people or exploded near to the crowd, this could cause very serious injury.

‘We have moved into the crowd to remove any fireworks and prevent people coming to harm.’

Earlier, the Met said it was planning a major operation ahead of the protest.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jane Connors said: ‘Residents and visitors to central London today can expect to see a higher number of police officers on duty throughout the course of the day. Officers are there to keep people safe and to respond quickly to any potential disorder of violence.

‘Groups of course have the right to protest, but I am particularly concerned that some groups are specifically intending to travel into London to deliberately cause violence and disorder including targeting police officers.

‘This will not be tolerated and our policing plan has been developed with this potential risk in mind.

‘Our patrols will be highly visible and we will be working closely throughout the operation with the City of London Police and the British Transport Police.’

Proof That The Alarmist Claptrap You Are Hearing And Seeing At COP26 Climate Conference Is A Load Of Bollocks

guest post by Graham William Lear 

5 November 2021 

Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt. 

 

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places, the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. 

 

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. 

 

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

 

Does all that sound familiar?

 

It should because it's what climate scientists are saying about the Arctic.

 

There is one slight problem what I have written is from a 1922 November 22 Washington Post report.

That article in turn was based on information relayed by the American consul in Norway to the U.S. State Department in October 1922 and published in the Monthly Weather Review:

 

The Arctic seems to be warming up. Reports from fisherman, seal hunters, and explorers who sail the seas about Spitzbergen and the eastern Arctic, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto underheard-of high temperatures in that part of the earth’s surface.

 

In August, 1922, the Norwegian Department of Commerce sent an expedition to Spitzbergen and Bear Island under the leadership of Dr. Adolf Hoel, lecturer on geology at the University of Christiania. Its purpose was to survey and chart the lands adjacent to the Norwegian mines on those islands, take soundings of the adjacent waters, and make other oceanographic investigations.

 

Ice conditions were exceptional. In fact, so little ice has never before been noted. The expedition all but established a record, sailing as far north as 81° 29′ in ice-free water. This is the farthest north ever reached with modern oceanographic apparatus.

 

The character of the waters of the great polar basin has heretofore been practically unknown. Dr. Hoel reports that he made a section of the Gulf Stream at 81° north latitude and took soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters. These show the Gulf Stream very warm, and it could be traced as a surface current till beyond the 81st parallel. The warmth of the waters makes it probable that the favourable ice conditions will continue for some time.

 

In connection with Dr Hoel’s report, it is of interest to note the unusually warm summer in Arctic Norway and the observations of Capt. Martin Ingebrigsten, who has sailed the eastern Arctic for 54 years past. He says that he first noted warmer conditions in 1918, that since that time it has steadily gotten warmer, and that today the Arctic of that region is not recognizable as the same region of 1868 to 1917.

 

Many old landmarks are so changed as to be unrecognizable. Where formerly great masses of ice were found, there are now often moraines, accumulations of earth and stones. At many points where glaciers formerly extended far into the sea, they have entirely disappeared.

 

You may have noticed that the predicted disaster 92 years ago did not happen, nor have other predicted catastrophes from the global‐​warming crowd.

 

Does this sound familiar?

 

On July 5, 1989, Noel Brown, then the director of the New York office of the United Nations Environment Program, warned of a “10‐​year window of opportunity to solve” global warming “entire nations could be wiped off the face of Earth by rising sea levels if the global‐​warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ‘eco‐​refugees,’ threatening political chaos.”

 

It's exactly what today's leaders are saying at the COP 26

Time is NOT real: Physicists show EVERYTHING happens at the same time

The concept of time is simply an illusion made up of human memories, everything that has ever been and ever will be is happening RIGHT NOW. That is the theory according to a group of esteemed physicists who aim to solve one of the universe’s mysteries.
Most people do not even consider the concept of time but there is nothing in the laws of physics to state that it should move in the forward direction that we know. The laws of physics are symmetric ultimately meaning that time could have easily moved in a backward direction as it does forward. Indeed some adherents to the ‘big crunch’ theory say time WILL run backwards when the universe stops expanding and starts contracting back in on itself.
