Meet the new Teletubbies! Council recruits men with TVs strapped above their heads to walk the streets and warn public not to break Covid lockdown rules

Bizarre move saw volunteers pound streets of Bradford, Yorkshire, with screens

Bradford Council announced the 'iWalkers' scheme this week but deleted post

The TVs weigh 18lbs and have a 19inch screen which are hoisted above shoulders

A council have recruited men with TVs strapped above their heads to walk the streets to police lockdown.

The bizarre move saw staff and volunteers pound the streets of Bradford, Yorkshire, with TVs, which weigh 18lbs and have a 19inch screen, hoisted on their shoulders.

Bradford Council announced the 'iWalkers' scheme this week but due to public backlash it has been forced to delete a Facebook post detailing its plans.

The scheme, which saw the TVs showing coronavirus rules, was announced via Facebook on Tuesday, but officials deleted the post just two days later.

The council claimed comments 'crossed the line into abuse of people who are working hard to help residents and workers in Bradford District stay safe and stop the spread of the virus'.

The authority has defended the move claiming the scheme has been 'well received generally by members of the public'.

It uniquely serializes you. It seems like the opposite of secure anonymity. He claims it decentralized your info but seems like it would require hosting for your info.

I think the only safe future will be distributed community based private network where you are identified by a private key resolved through a block-chain. Everyone will own a bit of this and no one can own or interrogate any uniquely identifying element of it but their own.

I think the tools required for this exist but no single dev company would ever create this as it has no value but to each individual in a massive group.

103 I'm unclear, how are we going to beat the virus?

By staying locked down until the virus just stops infecting people? Is that the plan?


No, it's very simple. You need to be inoculated 7 times, and wear a mask for the rest of your life, and never get within 6 feet of another person.

Or, cede control of your entire existence to the globalists and then....be inoculated 7 times, and wear a mask for the rest of your life, and never get within 6 feet of another person.

Left completely unaddressed were several things. 1. Who the hell is going to disable all of their devices for a handful of meetings, then turn them back on. 2. They did not address other smart devices like TVs or cell phones or anything else that people may not he aware of. 3. They did not say what options we had if others in the household needed the device while it was turned off ( kids classwork or controlling the thermostat). 4. They did not explain how to disable the always on features. For information security, they should at least cover the main ones like Alexa, Siri, and OkGoogle.

We're not. It is here to stay.

Whenever it looks as if it is fading, there will always be a new strain or a mutated virus, and we will be "encouraged" to keep wearing the Mask of Cain, stay home and remember that We Are All In This Together.

Restaurant dining - save for our rulers - is dead. Concerts are dead. Church is dead. Public gathering (unless you are approved by the State) is dead. Sports (good riddance) is dead. Freedom is dead.

You will not fly or drive from state to state without a COVID paper. You will stay home. You will obey. You will wear the Mask for the rest of your life. And if you even think of disobeying, there will be no end of Karens - neighborhood and armed - who will have you doxxed, fired or jailed. And "our side" will happily go along with it, so as not to be smeared as grandma killers.

Name one domestic terror attack in the last 20 years that the FBI has been out ahead of. Just one -- can you think of one?

They are caught offguard again and again, even when they've recieved advance warning from other authorities (e.g. Russia and the TSarnaevs) or people close to the attackers (Pulse shooter, Parkland shooter, shoe bomber, Ft. Lauderdale airport shooter, etc.).

So, color me skeptical on this -- they are setting a narrative for a potential false flag event.

199 I looks like PELOSI been taken into custody. Two days ago, a radio talk show host claimed that a top general - one in a position to know - told him that Pelosi would be arrested Monday. Towards the end of that day's broadcast he also reported quite a few troops being spotted at the Capitol.

The next day, there were no troops and no news item about good ol' Nancy. The talk show host took all kinds of grief, and he swore to never pass along another prediction. Another g-damn hoax!

But by the end of the broadcast word spread about something somebody had noticed. Nancy did not come to work that day. So it's either an incredible co-incidence that Pelosi happened to take a day off from her impeachment frenzy the exact same day that somebody said she'd be arrested, or she's been arrested. Probably, they moved the timeline forward a little, and those troops that had been spotted helped capture her the previous evening.

Why do you guys think Trump seized Pelosi's laptop, if he just thinks he's out of office anyway in a short time, BTW?

Has anybody seen an indication that she's in public today?

271 I'll repost this from the previous thread, since it applies.

My kind of model for all this is a company which has built a reputation for quality and customer service, and has a decent amount of assets such as factories and machines. The US after WWII was kind of like that company. The political and educated classes used the cultural, social, and political capital which had been built up as collateral to borrow against, asking for a massive increase in power and influence, much like said company leveraging its assets to borrow a large amount of money for expansion. As long as times were good the debt could be paid, the "elite" could provide a stable and prosperous society. However, as time went on, especially after 1990, they became increasingly overleveraged, and hence fragile. 9/11, the dragging on of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the failure to contain ISIS, and the rising threat of China were all shocks which demonstrated that they could no longer service the debt which they'd taken out.

Nah. These guys are like TSA officials - they're drawing a check paid for by taxpayers or lenders in exchange for enforcing the arbitrary and pointless will of an unaccountable state.

It is a harder nut to crack than the global technocrats thing. Where they've tried it in tame and cooperative places like Sweden, they've had to walk it back.

It's even harder in the US, for two big reasons:
1) Certain special groups used by the state are cash-primary or cash-only, primarily American blacks and particularly their urban populations. They even invented a word for this: "underbanked" (I'm not kidding).
2) The US government finances a huge amount of hinkey shit around the world using pallets of cash. If that cash has no way to repatriate, then that ability vanishes.

Add in the fact that most transactions are on plastic or EFT anyway (and thus trackable), and I suspect that the need of the state to engage in malicious overseas activity, line their own pockets and maintain their interests groups will prevent a "cashless" move. I could well be wrong.

The lockdowns will remain in place long after everyone is vaccinated, because "the vaccine isn't 100% effective". And the false positive rate of the PCR test will ensure that there is always a constant stream of "cases" to require lockdowns.

383 The FBI is a joke. Have been for decades.

In my opinion, they've always been pretty terrible. Hoover ran them as his personal spy service. He had dirt on every politician of his day. The Feebs shit the bed on the Bonnie and Clyde investigation. They lied to the public for decades RE the existence of the mafia. Al Capone died in his own bed in a mansion. Ruby Ridge was a total disaster. Their vaunted serial killer profiling program is basically as scientific as cold reading. Their vaunted crime lab has had some really really bad scandals.

On the plus side, they do good work coordinating police agencies when crimes happen cross-jurisdiction. I think people forget how bad that used to be. Neighboring police agencies at one time were almost combative and sharing information more times than not didn't happen at all, even when someone thought to ask.

They've also turned bank robbing into a crime that gets solved over 90% of the time.

They bounce between Pelosi, the Obama's, Hillary, Romney and Kerry to distribute the TALKING POINTS. Sometimes it's 3 a week, sometimes it's 1 a week, sometimes (like now) it's every day. Tomorrow it'll probably be a headline making "thought" by Barack.

They tried that during the early days of the lockdowns, remember? Try and order food to go from your local restaurants, and they insisted you had to charge it (I had a credit card hacked during that period, it appears to have been a restaurant employee scooping up cc numbers but I digress).

But too bad for them, the same people they claim can't get ID (but can) really don't all have a pocket full of credit cards. It really does discriminate against poor people to go to a cashless system. They DID get massive pushback on that, and relented.

Some Euro country tried the same thing and had to give it up too.

Imagine how much traffic Trump tweets and various MSM Trump scandals of the day generated on twitter. Outrage = many tweets, replies, retweets, DMs.

I'm guessing that's a bigger hit than the # of accounts suspended. More traffic will follow the non-suspended who are migrating to other platforms voluntarily.

The media will also squawk, "Don't pay any mind to the sparse turnout of the public, President Biden is massively popular--just look at the record amount of votes cast for him this year! It's just that his supporters believe in science and know not to gather in groups in public. Our sources at Google tell us that this inauguration has the largest virtual audience every assembled--upwards of 3 billion!"

429 329 Joe,
I think you are right. In addition, you would see a move to even less trackable exchanges between individuals such as barter where the state never gets its cut. This is going to be occuring anyway as the debt reaches a limit on monetarization. There will be some medium of exchange such as food and medicine if worst comes to worst.

Good sci-fi book about it is F. Paul Wilson's An Enemy of the State (old school libertarian economics focus) or Carmen and Rogoff's 'This Time is Different' which tracks government implosions of currency and debt over hundreds of years and its effects.

A lot of the Biden votes were just for that reason.

You have to look at the solid blue states to see the trend. There was no reason for ballot stealing in states like California. yet, California saw an almost 3 Million vote increase for Biden over Hillary in 2016.

In New York, Trump got almost half a million less votes than he got in 2016. Biden got 3/4 million votes more than Hillary.

Voters hated Trump.. while at the same time, he got more votes for him than any point in history.. he was just that polarizing.

One Feeb put his gun under his leg for easy access, then when his car was involved in a collision, he had to find it on the floorboard. None of the Feebs were carrying the same caliber weapons, so when one guy ran out of ammo, they couldn't get more from the guy next to them.

And the biggest fuckup of them all? They went up against military trained men with a law enforcement mindset. They tried to box these guys in so they couldn't run, then arrest them. What do military guys do when they're in an ambush? They fight their way out. So two guys with rifles are now firing into cars just feet away and the cops had no cover until they got out and hid behind their cars.

Oh man. That right there is funny. Do whatever the British version of FOIA is and determine if they paid their licensing fees for those monitors. That's a lovely idea. After all, the state there has declared that *any* screen - even a computer monitor not used to watch video content of any kind - is subject to the license fee.

BTW, Hillary was spending money running up the score in California in 2016 to boost her popular vote--absentee ballots are a cheap way to stuff the ballot box. Biden, I am sure, did the same as he had huge gobs of cash to spend on ballot harvesting.

Strange, considering the coup to get rid of Trump that was orchestrated successfully against the American people.

510 And the biggest fuckup of them all? They went up against military trained men with a law enforcement mindset. They tried to box these guys in so they couldn't run, then arrest them. What do military guys do when they're in an ambush? They fight their way out. So two guys with rifles are now firing into cars just feet away and the cops had no cover until they got out and hid behind their cars.

Please. Do not buy into the BS. I live in NJ and we are bluer-than-blue. I'm also attending meetings of a voter integrity movement here. We have analysts who mining all kinds of voting data in Blue NJ . Some interesting findings? We have lots of "ghost voters" you know those deceased folks who somehow always vote for the dems. We have one county with 138 percent voter turnout. Some blue strongholds actually DID NOT go for Biden. Dominion machines - 18 of our 21 counties use them here- switched about 80K votes. They are cunning with their fraud: they do not have to steal overtly as they did in the swing states. They switch a few dozen to a few hundred votes in the close districts where it counts. Just enough so that NJ will always, always be blue.

This is probably old news to a lot of people here but it was interesting to me that one of the big reasons the Winchester rifle became so popular is that it took the same ammo as the most popular pistols, so you could just pack .44-40 and be ready for anything. Plus it was super reliable and effective but the ammo thing was a huge advantage.

That's the shot that inspired the FBI move to the 10mm, then the .40. That 9mm went through the perp's arm and into his chest cavity. If it had gone just an inch or two further, it would have hit his heart. The Feebs decided the 9mm was too underpowered.

Modern ballistics and powder got the cops re-interested in the 9mm in the last decade or so.

He has a lot of intel (based on training cops, mil, and feds for about 30-40 years) and distills this in his short form quips book. Think Amazon may have it along with his books.

560 551 yep. You are correct on that one. The S&W 10mm beast that the Feebs adopted ironically came about the time that they were being sued by female agents for discrimination on firearms training and doctrine. Mas, I believe, was an expert witness in the litigation and that led the 10mm being downloaded in power until S&W told the people that you could get the same effect in a shorter cartridge. Thus, the 40 S&W was born.

There were similar issues with the .41 Magnum used back in the day for law enforcement. The lead bullet police load leaded the barrel and the fmj was loaded to bear hunting levels. Never caught fire as a result.

568 544 YD, I have been told with authority fwiw and might have been curious enough to replicate .380 in a 9mm as an experiment. This is something I do not recommend replicating unless an extreme emergency.

The major issue is that the midget cartridge does not have the momentum to draw the slide back far enough to pick up another cartridge. In addition, a 9mm cartridge is tapered for feeding while the .380 is near enough a straight cartridge and a 9mm magazine is designed to fire a tapered certain length cartridge even if the .380 generated enough umph to reciprocate the slide for another go.

There are certain cartridges that are close enough to fire in each others chambers but generally that is a bad idea unless you know what to expect before you do it.

583 Jesus H. Jumping Fucking Christ....when I was in England in 1979 to 1982 these faggot parasites would have been beaten into the ground by the normies....By the way, back in that day, the normal English people were not pussies.
Me and my friend were drinking in the bar of the local sports club after a Karate lesson with "Nuke Iran" tees on when a few local ragheads objected to our attire. The locals ganged up on the wogs,and kicked them out of the place...My buddy, 6'4", and I were amused...we wanted the fight to start....David Carr, if you hang out here, I miss you.....Jason J. Tucson, depressed and very pissed off.....

584 Well, sorry about the somewhat drunken rant......the above post took place during the Iranian siege of the embassy in London....the local paint shop on base did up a bunch of tees with the "Nuke Iran" logo...we bought them and wore them in town....Banbury, to be precise...Dave and I were active duty Air Force, and training at the local sports club in a sort of early MMA .style.....the bar wogs wanted to kick our asses, but the locals all pulled together and frog marched the ragheads out of the bar. A couple of Paras from the British Army stood drinks till the bar closed. I don't remember how I got home, but Dave woke up on the couch. Jason J, Tucson, still pissed off and angry
