The MSM want you afraid of your “indoor air quality”. Here’s why.
Kit Knightly
A new report has just been published, urging the United Kingdom’s government to “take action” on the country’s air quality.
This is not the first time that the “air quality” talking point has hit headlines in recent years.
Back in June of 2023, during the Canadian wildfires “crisis”, we saw warnings about air pollution. Then last week, they repeated the story again.
There was also the “ban gas stoves” push, which evolved into a compromise to “regulate indoor air quality”.
Then there was the “wood-burning stoves cause cancer” and the call to ban them in the UK in winter 2024.
And just a couple of weeks ago, as mentioned in the most recent This Week in the New Normal, a different report was published warning about the UK’s “toxic air”, which Christ Whitty called “the most important environmental threat to health”.
In a brand new research paper, we’re told that poor air quality is linked to heart disease, in another, from just yesterday, it was lung cancer in non-smokers. Before that, it was early on-set dementia. Or depression.
Alongside the “serious issue” propaganda, there’s the set dressing, the white noise fluff stories that sell the idea by treating it like an unquestioned assumption. Articles telling you how to improve our home office air quality, the ten best bargain HEPA filters, 5 easy tips to freshen your air quality at home.
You know the kind of thing.
Accompanying this is a flood of “reviews” (or rather, verbose advertisements) for new “smart” air monitors, which are about to make a very short list of very predictable companies a LOT of money.
In short, it has been apparent for some time that “air quality” was going to become a “problem” requiring a “solution”.
Enter this report – “Making Britain’s air cleaner, healthier and better to breathe: A blueprint for government action on clean air”
But what kind of “government action” are they talking about?
Let’s take a look and find out.
New legislation
The first “recommendation” in the report is a new “Clean Air Act”, which they would dub “Ella’s Law” after a young girl who died of asthma in 2013 and was the first person to have “pollution” listed on their death certificate in the UK.
Pro-tip: Always be suspicious of a law that uses someone’s name like this.
“Ella’s Law” would seek to make “the right to breathe clean air” a protected right…
[We are] calling for the government to put our right to clean air into UK law, ensuring everyone has access to this basic human right.
I’m not sure what exactly that means, but I would imagine it would open up “polluters” to charges of human rights violations and civil suits.
Permission to Propagandise
According to the report, this new law should also [emphasis added]…
Apply the precautionary principle, prioritising health, even in the face of scientific uncertainty.
Which, roughly translated, means it should take action for which there is no scientific backing, or is even contradicted by the science.
Additionally, these steps should…
Ensure targets are non-regressive. They may only be strengthened, never weakened.
So, the law could set absurdly high standards for “clean air” (remember, in the previous report it was stated “there is no safe level of air pollution”), which may even contradict scientific research, but they could never be lowered because that would be “regressive”.
Further, the act would require the government to…
Deliver up-to-date and high-quality information about local air quality to the general public, in a way that accessibly communicates adverse effects on health
Which is free license to propagandise and frighten people.
Picture it, the government adds big red AIR QUALITY WARNINGS to the weather forecast, or sends them out as emergency notifications to everyone’s phones. These warnings don’t have to be accurate because of the need to “exercise the precautionary principle”.
Accompanying health warnings could scream out – “Danger – Poor air quality may cause you to explode and die”, because the government is “prioritising health in the face of scientific uncertainty”, and they can’t be 100% certain people won’t explode and die.
These warnings never have to be reversed or explained, either, because that would be regressive.
Banning solid fuel heating
The most concrete action recommended in the report is a total ban on open fires, wood stoves, coal burners or other solid-fuel heating. They don’t call it a “ban” of course, they call it “phasing out”…
Phase out the use of wood burning stoves, open fires and other domestic solid fuel burning as soon as possible.
Of course, it’s not a “phase out”. The government can’t “phase out” wood burners, as if they’re stamps or five-pound notes, it is not in their remit. A “phase out” is passive, accomplished via inaction. Making it illegal for people to burn wood or coal in their homes is not a “phase out”, it is a ban.
The difficulty of enforcing a ban, and inevitable unpopularity of such, is plain in their reluctance to use the word, but it is clearly one of the most important recommendations in the report, due to its relative specificity.
Indoor vs Outdoor
The main focus of the report is indoor air quality. The emphasis on banning wood stoves and open fires, and warnings about the dangers of gas hobs vs induction make that clear. The word “indoor” appears 15 times in the text, “outdoor” only five.
The foreword makes special mention of it, calling it “a growing concern” that is “often overlooked”.
The report specifically recommends that…
The Government should develop a cross-government strategy to address indoor air pollution and clarify departmental responsibility for indoor air quality within government […] An indoor clean air strategy should include air quality standards aligned with WHO guidelines
This jives with broader coverage in general, going back several years, from the aforementioned moves to ban wood stoves in the UK and gas hobs in the US.
In February, the University of Birmingham was warning that “Air pollution levels may be higher inside your home than outside”, and the London School of Economics added that “Tackling indoor air pollution could save UK up to £40 billion a year”.
In March, the Guardian published an absurd story claiming gas hobs…
Raise indoor air pollution higher than busy UK road
To which there’s only one response: I’ll go into the kitchen and cook over the stove, you go into the garage and start the car and we’ll talk about it in the morning.
Then there’s the World Economic Forum’s recent article:
Why indoor air quality must be a global health priority
But how can they prioritise improving our indoor air quality in line with WHO guidelines, if they don’t know how bad our air is?
Clearly, they need more data, and while the report remains rather vague on this point, the WEF article is much clearer…
Making indoor air monitoring more affordable and accessible: Monitoring indoor air quality is not easy and traditionally, has required expensive tools. Emerging low-cost sensors and smart internet of things (IoT) devices have proven a remedy. While the accuracy and reliability of new tools are still a question, given their early stage of technological evolution, they remain promising for expanding access to indoor air quality data and informing much-needed interventions.
Smart air monitors. We should all have one, and let it report on the quality of our air to the government so they can “inform much needed interventions”.
They are already normalising the idea, with articles like this one from the BBC, where the author bought a smart air quality monitor, downloaded an app and just let it record all the data it wanted.
Expect them to be required in all new-build properties soon enough, and huge grants for companies/local governments that implement their use. That’s why the market for these devices is expected to hit 10 billion dollars in the next decade.
That’s the goal, more data. They thirst for the stuff, they can’t help it.
That’s why they’re so focused on indoor air quality. They can get all the outdoor air quality data they want already – and indeed, they are in multi-million pound “smart city” monitoring schemes – but they can’t get at the data in your house without your permission.
They are data vampires. They can’t come in until they’re invited.

Government surveillance of your home’s ‘air quality’, banning your right to burn coal or wood, Alarmist propaganda that is by design intended to scare you into submission. Nothing to see here folks. It’s all part of the continual sacrifice of your personal freedoms and liberties at the foot of the ‘common good’.
Let’s face it, banning indoor stoves, open fires, matches, candles etc is absolutely necessary because anything that works with any form of combustion within the domicile cannot be turned off if you have exceeded your carbon allowance by breathing too much or you have posted a comment on line berating the government for their appalling track record of doing anything other than accepting bribes and fiddling expenses which they are extremely good at.
Nice clean, once upon a time, cheap electricity created from gas fired generators running on USA gas, because Russian gas was just too cheap and does not support country 404 for the next million years, has the ability to be switched off remotely via your “everyone must have one” smart meter which “helps you save electricity” especially when they have turned it off.
Huge sums of money will be spend persuading neighbours to report anyone who has a naked flame of any sort other than an approved cigarette lighter because cigarettes=taxes and people will be imprisoned for 30 year minimum for lighting a wood burning stove because if you are in gaol the state save money on having to patrol your neighbourhood.
Yeah, they are banning everything that can make us survive their idiocy.
More mandated (forced) technology in each new build…and yet the same characters decry the unaffordable cost of housing…?.
And technocrats don’t even NEED data. Or common sense they’re absolutely sure that “electric” vehicles are less damaging than internal combustion ones even though the only difference is that in the former the combustion is done in some masssive central power station somewhere while in the latter it is performed in the engine of each vehicle…
2 things
1 really they just want to make farting illegal
2 Apply the precautionary principle, we should ban government (lol) before another one declares war somewhere , even in the face of historical uncertainty. Lmao.
Government or chaos? Same shit yes/no?
I would go for no.1, I hate it when people just fart when I am nearby. Lack of respect, low life behaviour, wet underwear. Stay home or I will get my government to ban it!! 😡
That well may explain the recent server crash and loss of off-g comments.
Windows kept closed during the heatwave, for fear of air quality testers?
I used to work in an electrical wholesalers Next door they prepared meat the smell used to come through the wall. They would put the smelly bins out side. I went inside to get change there were bits of meat on the walls (I am a vegetarian but not a fanatic)
The inspectors weren’t doing there job . They were supplying pies to the schools and a kid died , They were closed down but the owner who was a toff who was and part of the fox hunting crowd got away with a slap on the wrist.
But it will be another regulation for small business and landlords to comply with. There are already regulations about running a business from a rented property they could apply it to home working, London’s ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) and its impact on working people on low wages with old cars takes us back to when kings , mayors and land owners could issue procurations and the working class just sucked it up and tugged there caps.
proclamations bloody auto correct
The technical term is auto wrong.
WIFI radiation and EMF pollution are in the air too. I bet there will be no suggestion of monitoring these! Dubious amount of smoke (if any) from a modern wood stove vs immersed in harmful radiation day and night (not least from the ‘smart’ air quality monitors) – um. A war on fire in the home: been going on a while now. The oldest form of heat, closely connected to our sense of being human – but of course being human is so last millennia.
The biggest contributors to air pollution are politicians that breathe.
The same powers that be that wanted to force you to breathe through a mask are now concerned about “indoor air quality?” They really don’t even try to keep their narratives straight anymore. They just rely on the average Joe focusing on the current thing that has been brought to their attention, accepting that what the people on their TV’s are telling them must be true, and then not bothering to connect the dots.
That would take actually having a map to dot
Let’s remember the history of this problem going back to the industrial era where London was the most polluted place on Earth with coal soot everywhere. Air pollution is an industrial problem of unregulated toxic waste dispersal into the environment. I remember living in Los Angeles 1971 – 1986 where the old yellow industrial, auto and truck exhaust made for ecstatic golden glow days and sunsets. At times, you could barely see the trees across the street. The problem back then was AIR POLLUTION and an EPA was created, by even conservative Nixon, to regulate industrial and vehicle emissions. This was purposeful. Until the neocon deregulating Thatcher/Reagan “freedom” (for 1%) “fighters” turned that intent on it’s head. Regulation of emissions became throttled. Pollution devices in vehicles merely changed the old yellow pollution to a neutral gray pollution, that was more difficult to see than the good old golden glow. Then Al Gore, the give-up, sellout patsy for Bush 2’s stolen reign of incomprehensibility, rode in on the Neo-White Horse of “Climate Warming” with charts and graphs. Disappearing, and totally forgetting the only true problem: Toxic Industrial Pollution. Both Parties had joined up to push forward privatization, deregulation and gaslighting all categories of problems into vehicles of profit for the 1%. The all inclusive macro corporate deregulatory schema from Wall Street to Main Street was complemented by ultra petty tax, fee and penalty regulation for small farms, businesses and individuals. This screw-the-Commons, deregulate-the-corporate, ever-escalating movement has polluted public water, air and land with micro toxins, plastics, GMOs, chemical additives and all manner of industrial pollutution including RF, nukes and now AI. Free speech, research, expression, assembly and redress, in resistance, is now toxic pollution to be regulated by the 1%.
Gore initiated the Great Misinformation Alchemy that magically turned .18% of Earth’s mass, carbon, into the reality diverting bogie man scapegoat for industry’s continued polluting of the planet. I personally believe that the mid 90’s 1% profit malaise desperation drove the Clintons of the world (the 1%) to also deregulate the financial sector. This, along with all out unregulated corporate toxic deployment in all sectors, is the final 1% nail in Humanity’s coffin. However, this only continues because of MSM’s confusion machine, here noted. Now that CC has failed, inverting external industrial “pollution” into an indoor problem for each individual, is just the latest con man scam to keep the rich from having limits placed on their greed and ecocidal stupidity.
The usual fix for indoor air quality, especially in climates like the UK’s, is to “open a window”. This apparently is impossible in modern housing that has been designed to be energy efficient because the windows don’t open. I’m told this has proved a bit of a problem recently because these homes turned into hot boxes during recent hot weather, boxes that can’t be cooled because the heat pumps that efficiently heat them in winter can’t be turned around to cool them by law.
I must terribly old fashioned. I remember when a mere (20?) years ago LPG was marketed as a “clean” fuel. Now it’s “you’re burning dinosaur fossils, and destroying the planet, you monster!”.
Yes, this is another deceit to try to herd us towards Net Zero policies that will ultimately imprison us in the digital gulag, if we are not careful.
OFF-TOPIC BUT PROBABLY VERY IMPORTANT? My last comment as I have to go away.
——————————————————————————————————————
It is of course Jeremy Corbyn’s own choice whether or not to lead (or co-lead) a new political party, but if he DOES decide to go for it, although I am not a socialist (I am a libertarian), I for one will support him and his party – why?
(1) Jeremy Corbyn is a man genuinely devoted to helping the masses – he has the rare combination of being truly humane, trustworthy and genuinely democratic e.g. he eagerly wants to and does take on board everyone’s thoughts & ideas on all matters – take a look at his history, activism, policy-making record, etc. He is also diplomatic with officials in the public sphere; and of course, warm & friendly and popular with normal people.
(2) A party led by Jeremy Corbyn is truly the only option in the face of the uniparty group we have here in the UK: Lib/Lab/Con/Greens/Reform (and Reform’s off-shoots).
(3) This one is important in our current tyrannical digital era full of lies, spin and deceit: Piers Corbyn is his very astute brother who can help Jeremy persuade people of the truth about the hoax that is human-made climate change (yet be concerned about REAL environmental and world problems); as well as help inform as many people as possible about Agenda21/2030 and Net Zero – the tools being used, ultimately, to try to bring-in mass depopulation and the digital gulag including the Digital ID e.g. BritCard (or whatever other name or form it will be) which will ultimately become the ‘Social Credit Score’ with which they will try to enslave us all.
Just my tuppence worth…
I agree that Corbyn is a principled man.
However, you point out that you are not a socialist.
Corbyn is hard left and we would end up with another Marxist government- but this time with an intelligent leader !
He is compromised, too. They are all compromised. You can take it to the bank.
Hmm, it sounds like the creepos are trying to blame gas stoves for the high rate of cancers and heart attacks caused by the experimental mRNA toxic gene therapy jabs which they mandated.🤑 I guess the ghouls want the proles to eat their insects uncooked.😁
Add to that Geoengineering, spraying of toxins into the atmosphere for various reasons that all drift down and into our food, water, and the air we breathe.
What would happen if employment law prevented companies allowing working from home if the air quality wasn’t up to snuff?
I remember at the time wondering how the WFH would be rolled back!
The elites don’t want to stop working from home. It’s exactly the opposite. It’s fits right in with their plans. They want everyone in their own little bubbles and isolated from one another. I doubt you’re going to get many revolutions started via a zoom meeting. The mass introduction of WFH was one of the main “achievements” of Covid. Sure there are a few rogue employers struggling to try and get people back in the office but they’ll get the message eventually. Just check out any of the articles in the msm on the subject – WFH is great and anyone fighting against it is a “dinosaur”.
Look, I get it. Most people love WFH. It’s convenient – you can work in your pyjamas and you don’t have to brave the morning commute (the horror). So what if it fucks up society? Just don’t pretend it’s something the powers-that-be hate because it absolutely is not.
I’m thrilled that by happenstance, I dodged the bullet of working at home by retiring before The Megadeath Virus of Doom Scamdemic normalized that fraught and dubious option. (My bad attitude is doubtless a generational reaction in part; my 40something niece apparently prefers working from home.)
I know it gets complicated, insofar as among other things home-based employment attenuates, blurs, and may virtually dissolve the traditional “legacy” boundaries between work life and home life.
But the prospect of regulating domestic air by employment law would probably result in onerous unilateral official snooping by interested parties and agencies. I’m reminded of a time when an insurance company rep visited my home to assess a basement water escape, and somehow felt obliged to question the deficit of working smoke detectors.
So I envision regulating indoor air quality of residences as an opportunity for the camel to barge in, e.g. both property and healthcare insurance companies acquring the right to further command and control customers in order to save us from ourselves. 😮💨 🤬
One thing I’ve noticed recently in the interminable tsunami of crap since covid, is that utter bullshit which surely the majority have sussed out nevertheless seems to have become accepted anyway and keeps repeating nonetheless.
So the covid meme seems to be creeping back, the trans crap still gets shoved in your face and those ridiculous “volcanic” weather charts plastered in glowing yellows and reds are now the norm.
I once lived in a decent, comfortable, reasonably priced apartment. Then the landlord moved in a printing shop down beneath. Do you know what it is like to live above a print shop? It’s like breathing in carbona, or snorting bleach, or poppers, or toluene all day. I tried to sic agencies and lawyers etc. on him. But they told me, sorry, Charlie, there are no laws against indoor air pollution. Now, if the toluene went out the window down below and came in your window up here, then you’d have a leg to stand on. But, since it’s all indoors, the best we can advise is move. And let’s not get into radon. Radon is real and it really causes cancer.
I used to live in a two room apt, neighbors knocking on my wall, times are hard, I don’t want to knock it, I don’t miss it much at all.
Huh?
Look. If you don’t live on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, then you think the Canadian wildfires of last year were a joke. They were not. If you were there, you would have seen the air so thick with smoke you couldn’t see a block down the street. You would see thick smoke in all the streets of New York and as far south as D.C. The unique and frightening thing about it was–nothing like this had ever happened before. No-one, not even 100-year-olds, could remember anything like this happening. Never. Ever. Now, no doubt the powers that be made hay out of this pretty horrible thing. They always do. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, or that it wasn’t nasty and frightening and no doubt definitely not good for your health. I will now happily receive my downvotes. I am sorry for saying somebody is wrong. I know that is frowned upon. But I say somebody is wrong when they are wrong. I can’t help myself.
I hope no one gets injured in the fight between you and your straw man!
The article says “Back in June of 2023, during the Canadian wildfires “crisis”, we saw warnings about air pollution.” That implies that the article thinks the wildfires weren’t a crisis, and were more of a joke. I am disagreeing with what the article actually said. If you think the definition of “straw man” is “what the article actually said,” then you are right. Otherwise, you are wrong.
Or perhaps the word “crisis” was in air quotes to denote that Kit suspects that the “crisis” was intentionally inflicted. I also hope you don’t break a leg while you’re jumping to conclusions, Hidalgo Quijote.
No. Just because you are stupid doesn’t mean you have to parade it all around. The word “crisis” was in quotation marks (not “air quotes”, stupid, you obviously don’t know what “air quotes” means, proving that you are kind of stupid) to suggest that it was not a crisis. That’s what quotation marks are used for in standard English. Quotation marks are not used in standard English to imply that something was “intentionally inflicted.” Take an English class.
My my, you certainly are an angry little keyboard warrior! Bless your heart!
Its just too easy to be wrong these days.
It’s like TPTB peed on his leg and told him it was raining, and then he got mad at Kit for putting the word “rain” in air quotes when he wrote about it.
Oh he’s a real sorry guy
Curious is how all Daddy Trump’s Options are being viewed through
the prism of their likely impact on The US Mid-Term Elections…
Seems Daddy Trump has to resist the huge pressure on him to finish
‘The Iranian Job’ because going early will impact the midterms…
Seems Daddy Trumps advisers calling for restraint have forgotten
State Of Emergency justifications such as Operation Warp Speed…
What a missed opportunity !! Why didnt They frame such laws as being
needed to ” Protect The Children !”…
Framing laws as being needed to “Protect The Children !” is a Winner…
(Australia is currently employing it to justify imposing a voluntary national
digital ID by deceit***)…
But then again, labeling it as “Elsa’s Law” has, in its way, framed any law
in advance as being needed to “Protect The Children” (a PTC Law)…
** the full justification: “Bugger Granny ! Protect The Children!”
*** Any Online Porn Consuming Australia will need Digital ID to verify they
are over 16 to get their fill… Of course, implicit, is that Aussie Kids are big
consumers of ‘online porn’ – there’s bound to be ‘studies’ revealing Aussie
kids addictions to the stuff is responsible for so many being injured falling
of their pushbikes, why education / IQ levels are falling, schoolkids low
interest in STEM subjects, increased autism rates etc, etc. etc.
The reality is that most indoor air is crap.
However “high-tech solutions” are guaranteed to offer up only more problems along with empowering those who sell and control the high-tech gadgetry.
Some simpler solutions might be- stop using cheap toxic materials that are constantly off-gassing to build homes and apartments. Indoor air quality improves considerably overnight.
Another wild and woolly simple solution entails- think hard now- opening a few windows.
Yet another “solution” which is wayyyy out there is- drum roll please- go outside for long walks, long runs, long hikes, a bicycle ride, swimming, daydreaming or just sitting with a beer.
Not to mention the dystopian overlords who dream up these dystopian thoughts seem hell bent on duping everyone that CO2 emissions are about to send us all into extinction and all this gadgetry they try to shove down our throats is particularly high CO2 emitting junk when one takes into account all processes necessary to bring said high tech rubbish into existence.
– Not cooking with windows closed unless unavoidable.
– Banning products that outgas: cheap furniture, cushions, matresses, wallpaper, laser printers.
– Good masks for indoor workers handling paint or glue; minimum delay before occupying or reoccupying.
– Air conditioner maintenance standards.
– Factory pollution standards; the pollution does not stay outdoors.
– Looking over anything learned medical pundits said all these years on related diseases.
– Prosecuting criminals in government who try to keep people indoors for a purported epidemic.
“opening a few windows.”
How many modern buildings are constructed with windows that barely open a few inches? Gotta keep the burglars out!… Stay safe – you might fall out!…. And there mustn’t be any alternative to smart monitoring and heat pumps…
Been missing your eloquent and perceptive observations Maxwell.
Don’t leave us for so long this time.
Bad air will get you like that, keeps you away, and then confuse’s you once you come back
Stayvacation or take a walk to the next station to save the enviroment reduce carbon.
Like was done with Covid-19 injections?
Perform your new “Clean Air Act” in the circus and see how many sheeple fall for this one.
Con artists with PhDs.
The air isn’t the problem.
It’s the BULLSHIT spewed out by the Drainstream Media that we have to wade through.
Thank god for Off buttons.
Duhh….on many nights with a headtorch you can see the myriad small particles that the jets have lovingly ladled out across the sky and know that these floating little treasures containing you know not what are being sucked into your lungs with every breath.
The sky is now permanently slightly blurred. Stargazing is now more difficult.
The sky here in Southern Australia is clear most of the time.
We can often watch satellites whizzing by.
As far as I know and can remember, dust motes have always been around.

Slightly off-topic but relevant information and advice from Dr. Mike Yeadon.
Thanks a lot Thom.
I took the whole hour with Dr. Yeadon and must say this is an URGENT MUST SEE for everybody. I hope Kit and Sam and the other guys at OffG see it. Every minute worth it.
Resume: Dr. Yeadon is prev vice-president for Pfizer. Like the rest of us he was educated, degree’d, worked a lot before his experience and analyses and the pandemic finally woke him up. There was no pandemic this is documented.
Virus dont exist. Flue, influenza, covid, child deceases, are all your body’s own inside reaction on unbalances between your body and the surroundings. reason is a little globalist cabal’s wish to depopulate/ deliberately make you sick/ill. It had been done other times in history. Chairman Mao also had the idea that the Chinese people were useless eaters why millions died of hunger during the long march and his little red book.
Message: Dont take any jabs and avoid Digital ID. We can do it if we are many.

Has there ever been a British PM not taking money from the oligarchs? Churchill was taking money from rich Jews, maybe that influenced his decisions re WW2.
I wonder how much Starmer gets, not much, he looks like a cheap and valueless date, but someone is using him. I wonder if that influences his actions on Israel, his support for the banning of free speech and now supporters of Palestinians.
It is now obvious why the UK establishment was so good at covering up the sins of its members; they are all so morally weak that the establishment could never have survived without their pretence that it was a great thing, rather than just a corrupt bunch of cowards who eventually sold out. Interestingly it knew what it should be doing, and broadcast that far and wide, while the reality was far more seedy and pathetic.
A right to clean air, but no rights to support the Palestinians or voice your own point of view …. I wonder who owns the UK.
I think it’s the Vatican, since King John
So, no more opening the windows, then, since the UK government is openly experimenting with weather modification tech that will invariably cause the chemicals they spray into the stratosphere to settle on the land and in the waterways and leaving everyone to breathe them in too. They’re not concerned for our nor environmental health.
In the UK and Australia, and probably elsewhere, governments have already got a foot in your door with mandatory smart smoke detectors/alarms of which I’m highly suspicious as to whether there are cameras or other data collectors inside. Not only that but this requires yearly inspection by a stranger to enter your home and test the apparatus, whether you like it or not. By 2027 all residential buildings will have to comply.
Next up air quality sensors? Then perhaps mandatory listening devices for those not stupid enough to have an Alexa? It will be time to buy a motorhome and leave the farm.
Where did you hear this?
Nobody can force any Self.Monitoring.And.Reporting.Technology into your home, that includes SMART meters. I strongly suspect all this wireless technology will connect to the 5G towers and fry your brain even further. Those SMART enough to have figured out the scam should reject any encroachment.
We in Australia are already living this reality.
Example – state of Queensland:
From Jan 2027 all homes must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, garage and they even control your caravan, etc.
Smoke detectors with spying tech?
I doubt it, but I’ll bet the insurance parasites love them.
For buildings that our overlords deem suspicious, the smoke detecters can be modified during the periodic mandatory inspection.
Don’t worry. They’ve been doing it for years and years. You won’t notice the difference.
As long as its not the plumbing causing all the stink, i’m ok w/it.

Thanks so much for validating one of my (many) pet peeves!
I don’t know about other nations, but in the US most state motor vehicle authorities have a “personalized license plate” option. For a fee, instead of a plate with a random alphanumeric string, the vehicle owner can order a license plate bearing customized letters or numbers designated by the owner. (Provided the owner doesn’t request obscene or other taboo personalization.)
The popular term for these customized items is “vanity plates”.
I bring this up because in 1994, after a convicted pedophile raped and murdered a young girl in New Jersey, a federal law was enacted that “require(s) the release of relevant information to protect the public from sexually violent offenders.” It was passed and highly publicized as “Megan’s Law”.
Besides illustrating the ancient legal truism that “hard cases make bad law”, it seemed obvious to me that this personalized labeling was a reprehensible marketing gimmick: a demagogic sop to the then-burgeoning victim’s rights movement. It was highly conducive to Elected Misrepresentatives staging self-serving signing ceremonies and press conferences with the victim’s family gratefully clustered around the podium.
I correctly sensed that this would become a trend, in order to facilitate the passing of bad laws as “vanity laws” because they could now be sold to a sentimental public as a fitting tribute or memorial to the victim du jour— now, the victim de jure! Bah! Humbug! 😡 ⚖️

!Flatulence!
The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment.
Jacques Ellul
It blends noticeable or shocking transitions or step changes. There is a mathematics of it in communications called ‘dither’
Does it come with a hidden camera and microphone too? Or perhaps they don’t need that since they can access smartphone cameras and mics.
I remember someone bought a toaster from Lidl, he pulled it apart for some unknown reason and found a microphone inside it. Potentially spied on by a toaster…can’t even have breakfast in peace anymore.
Another form of ‘hot mic’?
Question is: Do revolutionaries plot and plan over toast and tea?
Hang on a minute, if indoor air quality is bad and is a heath priority, then they won’t be repeating lockdowns again, will they?
Therefore, we need to be outdoors in the fresh air. Well, that will be my excuse for being a free range human, if they try it on again in the future.
You cannot escape. If you go outdoors they’ll unleash the fog of doom.
The company I worked for through the covidiocy bought a supposed “virus blaster” or some such labeled air filter, 3 of them I think at $3K apiece. I left there in January of this year and those things are still there, running 24/7. I struggled with the idiocy every day, and having to treat any of that as real was infuriating but overall, they weren’t too whacko and did not mandate the shot. I made it very clear to them as well that if they should be forced by the state to mandate, I would resign and I would not hold them accountable.
Thinking of that after reading this article, and how quickly they jumped to those machines as a solution, there’s definitely a huge market for this stuff. I do not know if those things require constant maintenance, I would imagine they need some. They did not remove “the virus” either as most of us did have “covid” over the four years I was there.
Do you know if they were maintained? The filters changed or cleaned regularly? Otherwise…ick.
Tangential aggravation: false advertising certainly didn’t begin with The Megadeath Virus of Doom Scamdemic in 2020, but it still pisses me off when I see household cleaning products, e.g. Lysol’s multifarious sprays, wipes, pads, etc. with labeling on the container promising that it “kills (most) bacteria and viruses”– some specifying the “COVID-19” virus, aka the Phantom Menace. 🤬
Perhaps this is the business from which scientists can get a sample of the mythical virus.
It kills viruses the way that it irritates your lungs and blood system who reacts, why you run to the Dr for a vaccine, Voila, and its over!
Amazing as it sounds, there are still places where these are common: (a) masks (b) machines spraying bleach into the air.
My right to hot air is constantly being validated and upheld by the great and the good.
You said, “Christ Whitty”, Kit. Was that intentional or an ironic gesture?
FWIW, I wondered the same thing! 🤔
Chris Whitty – the UK governments puppet during Covid – he was the Lord Haw. Haw of vaccine enforcement – of course the clean air BS, is another control and cash creating venture – with the roll out of multiple LEZ’s (Low Emission Zones) that have coined in millions of pounds – a few bought and paid for scientists, who have their funding renew indefinitely, for more than likely useless projects – would’ve signed off on the need for cleaner air, giving governments the green light to get their think tanks, working on ways to fleece the taxpayer under the guise of doing good for the public.
They don’t want you collecting rain water, the don’t want you using wood burning stoves – they don’t want you growing your own veg/food etc – they want total control of food and energy – in Britain they’re pushing the Net Zero bollocks agenda, and they want you to install a heat pump they cost thousands of pounds, and in reality there’s not enough qualified tradespeople to install them – I watched a programme on it and it would take decades training enough folk to reach the desired figures quoted in government policy, in other words they’ve no chance of reaching enough people to make heat pumps viable against so called global warming.
They’ve no chance of controlling global warming, period. First, the UK’s efforts matter zilch in global terms, given the huge and rising emissions in China and India. But second, said emissions don’t threaten climate crisis anyway, if it’s true (as censored critics show) that CO2 increases follow rather than cause rises in temperature. Climate crisis is a political agenda and hoax resting on falsified ‘science’.
To improve ‘air quality’ why don’t they propose a ban on back garden barbeques.
What, give em the chop?
Great, they wanna shunt every thing into electric… Haha
The electric grid is over taxed because these regulated monopolies don’t do anything to improve it.
Throw in more electric cars while you’re at it.
IDIOCRACY
Unfortunately they had to memory hole all those great experts who told us to stay indoors for our safety, back in 2020.
Although I would not be surprised if the same experts who told us to stay indoors in 2020 (for our safety), now tell us that staying indoors is bad for our safety!
Such inconsistency is possible in the world of experts where anything goes (as long as it leads to grants, media interviews, knight hoods, power and other flattery)
Guess they memory holed all those leading experts who told us in 2020-22 that we had to stay indoors for our safety.
You don’t need the ‘Internet of Things’ to monitor ‘air quality’, that’s only necessary when peepshow perverts in the Deep State and the Billionaire donor class want to thieve private information they have no right to have access to.
All you need is a device that alerts the householder(s) that air quality is a bit poorer.
I want a new law making it mandatory for every single PPE graduate to have internet-of-things cameras videoing every single sex act they ever partake in and I want a Govt funded website sending out alerts to the whole nation every time one of them experiences premature ejaculation, brewers droop or whatever.
As for air quality:
If you’re a Labour MP, go and stick an ‘internet-of-things’ dildo up your arse. The whole world wants to know what kind of crap gets stored in there, given the amount of crap stored in your deluded brains….
I can just imagine some toady think tank devising a cunning plan to introduce a Window Tax, would this be classed as a “regression”?
‘which Christ Whitty called “the most important environmental threat to health”.’
Is this a demonstration of your wicked sense of human, Mr Knightly or merely an amusing typo??
The Turd Coming perhaps.
