And Then Free Stuff...

   Well - and just to clarify that - well, I see the news this AM seemed to concentrate on how poverty has increased hunger since the start of this pandemi-doodad thingy and how food bank personnel are amazed at the increase in the number of folk queueing for free stuff. 
   If the TV producers were looking to foster sympathy you’d have thought that even the dumbest of ‘em would’ve done all they could to film thin hungry lookin’ folk queuing for food rather than the overweight, obviously well fed folk they did film for their ‘tear jerking’ reportage.
   It’s a fact of life, although one that seems to have floated serenely over the heads of these fellows wot run these places, with, I’m sure, the best of intentions, is that if you offer free stuff, human nature being wot it is, they will come. One and all.
   Also this morning I received the third postal ‘request’ from the NHS, blessed be its name, to get my ass booked in for the chemi cocktail. Something I forgot to mention upon receiving the last missive, was that the instruction sheet as to how to book the appointment is helpfully translated into sixteen languages. Wot the hell is this costing? I guess a lot of folk will treat this the same way they see food banks. That is, hell, it’s free so let’s have at it.
    I’m/we are now eagerly awaiting my/our home testing kits. Return to sender or send to land-fill? Decisions, decisions...
   Endingly, I’m sure you’ve noticed that any ‘news’ footage showing some poor soul being treated on a hospital co-co ward, is surrounded by at least four nurses thus subliminally messaging that with the ‘huge’ numbers of co-co patients in dock,  how ‘under enormous pressure’  these poor nurses are.  Hay! You! Think of the nurses! Go get that blood jabba-dabba-do! NOW!

This merry morn I too received the third postal ‘request’ from the NHS, complete with 16 languages

There is a paragraph heading in bold which says " Ignore this letter if: "
1. You want your GP to jab you.
2. You have an appointment for your GP to jab you.
3. You've had your first dose already.

What irritates me is that:
4. You don wan no steenking vaccine.
is missing.
But it's getting ignored anyway.

I can't remember if I posted this here before Mac, it was from back in May 2020 (one of Polly's research videos). Certainly shocking stuff at the time. The second part of the video, about Madagascar is the most relevant here.

Well, this morning, via Legiron on Twitter I see that there has been a further development to the story, and this will shock you. It won't surprise you, but it will shock you.

Stay strong Mac, no one can force you to have the jab if you don't want it.

@Rick
You don't need an option 4 anyway. You are not obliged to even grace them with a response. The correct place for the letter is in the bin, or the toilet if the supermarket is sold out of loo roll.

Rick,
It's relentless is it not? Regular mail shots{pun} and nothing else on the 'news' outlets. It's not going to stop until one and all have been jabbed - even if it means 'them' resorting to going round in gangs and jabbing by force.

Ripper,
Yes, seen that first one but I'll draw attention to both this evening. Wot I want to know is where are our intrepid seekers of truth in the media? Why is only one side of co-co allowed to be heard and seen?

I'm just bursting to tell you this Mac, and its made me feel great. It puts me to shame a little, to say that I have been shown wisdom by a guy half my age, but this is true. I work with a young Polish guy (Peter), he is very much like myself and has been giving me heads up on everyone around us. I now know who the snitches and butt-lickers are and who to trust.

We have there, a Health and Safety 'Officer', who has been promoted to this very powerful position it seems, because he is incapable of doing any real work. He invades the smoking shelters during break and makes everyone stand apart. The shelters themselves he has had cordoned off so that no one can stand in there, open to all weather. In other words, he makes up the rules as he goes along and everyone has to obey them or else.

When welding I wear an air fed visor which has a full face seal, one of these...

https://www.3m.co.uk/3M/en_GB/company-uk/3m-products/~/3M-Speedglas-Welding-Helmet-9100-FX-with-filter-9100XX-541825/?N=5002385+3293136802&preselect=8711737+8720790+3293786499&rt=rud

When not wearing that I have to wear a surgical type mask. This idiot has tried to make the welders wear both together but that resulted in misting up of the visor. So, when I have the welding gear on, the surgical type mask is pulled down under the chin, as there is nowhere clean to put it if I take it off.

So last week I was talking to Peter about the job. We were both wearing welding gear and had the air fed visors lifted up so as to communicate. The H&S bloke walked past and stopped at the end of the weld bay (about 60 feet away). He proceeded to shout 'Oi, you' at us, and I turned around to see him making gestures to tell me to pull the surgical mask up. I didn't respond, just turned away and carried on talking to Peter. The guy walked off with a disgusted look on his face and Peter went on to describe what an arsehole he is.

My rolling contract is coming to an end, and I went to the office the day after to see the weld shop manager about extending it. All the managers and supervisors were in there, including the H&S 'officer'. I went up to my manager and asked if he could get in touch with HR, since I need to know if they plan on extending the contract. This was when the H&S guy chipped in..

"You won't be here at all if you don't start wearing a mask".

Well, I had to respond to that didn't I? All the better being in front of all the managers and group leaders. That's the perfect scenario for dishing out humiliation. I went in hard..

"Listen you utter c**t, you don't stand there shouting 'Oi' at me. I'm neither your dog or your wife, and from now on, when you speak to me you will address me as Sir".

He replied "In your dreams!" To which I said..

"That is my chosen pronoun. I identify as 'sir' and If you don't use it YOU will be the one who won't be here".

At this point my manager, in a rather intimidated voice, changed the subject by telling me he will contact HR immediately, and indeed I had an email with contract extension when I got home. I politely thanked him for his time and went on to push my luck...

"By the way, I need clean overalls and my air filter needs changing. Could you fix me up as soon as possible please?"

"Yes, no problem sir".

I don't know if my manager's remark was real or sarcasm, but the H&S guy hasn't spoken to me since, probably because he can't stand the humiliation of having to call me sir. When I got back to the weld bay, me and Peter fell about laughing.

The bit of wisdom from Peter? "You have to use their own rules against them, its the only way with these woke shits". Me: "That gives me an idea".

I tell you Mac, there's no better feeling than when your boss calls you sir, even if he does grimace when he says it. I'm sooo smooth...

Mac,
We all know by now that the media is corrupt and we will hear nothing from them. What its really all about is vaccine sales, and our government, like all the others in the west have jumped on the bandwagon to get greater control. The virus is fake, the test is fake and the vaccine is nefarious to say the least. The likes of Pfizer don't give a toss who it kills or injures, they have been granted immunity from prosecution.

Meanwhile, compliance with government diktats is prolonging the agony for ordinary people. I could refer to the compliant ones as sheep but in the environment we have suffered over the last 50 years or so, you can't put the blame on people who have been steadily brainwashed. Those at the top of the shit pile have known where we have been heading for all this time.

For the not so hard of thinking, Coronavirus is nothing more than a scare tactic being used to lever in a totalitarian society. Scare people enough and they will come begging for the vaccine. Not me, like a few others I can see right through it.

Ripper,
First comment - nothing to add - spot on.
Second comment; always get in there first. Remember my phrase? First time I used it was after a tricky rig move when our rig made slight contact with a platform column resulting in a huge ‘investigation’ involving more shore based managers that you’d believe coming out to the rig.
Us rig folk were called in one-by-one for interrogation - hell, it has to be someone’s fault, right? I was third to be called and sat down and looked at the serious faces arrayed against me and decided to get in quick and first so quickly introduced myself, stated my job title and concluded with. ”...and you’re probably wondering why I’ve asked you all here today.”
One guy stifled a laugh but most couldn’t hold back. Ice cracked followed by a two sided learning conversation rather than a one sided interrogation.

Jeez Mac, I wish this comment section had a thumbs up emoji. That's another very clever way of nailing it that I haven't thought of - yet.

Still, whichever way works right? Me showing more contempt for them than they can ever show for me worked like a charm. I'm always quiet, respectful and polite to everyone, so when they try it on, the sudden release of venom from me puts them into shock, and in this case, at the same time letting the managers know that I'm no easy target.

For me in my current work situation, an old maxim always springs to mind - its a bad idea to pick on someone who has nothing to lose. I'm loving this 'begged to come out of retirement' thing, I'm no longer stuck with all those arseholes, they are stuck with me.

Forgot to say, this is the new cabs factory, it used to be in Rugely, Staffs but they closed that one down when this one got commissioned. That means almost everyone there is a bunch of yamyams, the worst kind to work with in my experience. They are not only work shy but currently the place is almost 4,000 cabs in arrears. So they have no say in whether I work there or not. Only HR at the World Headquarters (where I originally worked) can get rid of me, and they need the help too much to do that. Besides, the HR woman who got me there is super nice and we get along really well (wink).

Let's see how the management at cabs like their own medicine eh?

Ripper,
The other thing that I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, is to be fully conversant with all the safety documents of the firm you’re working for. That would be official documents. Then, when some would-be safety expert spouts some made up on the hoof ‘rule’, they can usually be put back in their box by having the ‘official’ rule quoted at ‘em.
An example you may enjoy and relate to; one time waiting to move the rig, we were presented with weather that gave periods of moderately calm seas followed by periods of high winds and heavy seas thus we had no weather window to safely get the rig free of the seabed and fully afloat. I won’t bore you with the technicalities involved.
After about five days of waiting on weather, we were all gathered for a ‘conference call’. On shore, our rig manager and the drilling manager for the oil outfit we were drilling for - he who must be obeyed for they pay. On the rig, Tool Pusher, oil company Company Man and us dept. heads. It was a heated meeting with the on shore oil company man rapidly loosing it and, as time is money, insisting we try to get afloat during lulls in the weather and pin down again when we had to. Not safe as during freeing legs you fire water below the leg cans to break suction which also degrades the basement making it iffy to sit down on again. Despite this, he who must be obeyed went on and on and on.
Finally, things went quiet so I piped up, “You can be sure we will always operate within the rig design and environmental limits.”
To which my manager in town came back with; “Bloody hell Mac! Where did that come from?”
“Off the big sign pinned to the bulkhead opposite me. It’s number one of the oil companies ten tenets of safe operations.” I replied quietly to much muffling of mirth round the table.
End of conference call. Shortly after we were ‘advised’ to wait on weather and our manager mentioned to the Tool Pusher that the company drilling manager was furious that he’d been hoist by his own safety tenets...
