      I live in Oldham and this story has been trying to get out for ages but has been continually suppressed by MSM.

      It seems that Muslim grooming gangs have been operating in Oldham for decades but the authorities have kept it quiet.

      The ringleader of the Rochdale gang was convicted and imprisoned but what was not publicised was that he was employed by Oldham council as a youth worker.

      A bloke named Raja Miah has been investigating and putting things on social media and been subject to regular death threats from an out of control muzzie community.

      It is alleged that the now labour MP Jim McMahon (who was at the relevant time chief executive of Oldham council) was complicit in a cover up of a story involving mass grooming and rape of underaged local white kids by Muslim gangs in unused commercial premises where they set up unlicensed shisha bars etc.

      An email was published where a local bbc reporter was asked by McMahon not to publish the story because it might inflame tensions on the day of Lee Rugby’s funeral. McMahon promised cooperation when the heat of the Lee Rigby situation subsided. The story has never since been aired. It should be a national scandal.

      There is so much more evidence of a Muslim
      takeover of the oldham Labour Party and the plan to islamify this once proud town that is far too voluminous to summarise here.

      Councillors and advisers to McMahon are allegedly mixed up on all kinds of dodgy stuff from buying council land cheap to build mosques to employing convicted drug dealers and loads more besides.

      If you google “raja miah, recuscient nine” it will keep you busy for hours and make your blood boil.

    I wonder what extinction rebellion and the far left have to say about the force of nature,,precisely nothing

    Because nature has decided to eliminate:

    the morbidly obese

    those who refuse to self isolate because they have no respect for the law

    those who refuse to self isolate because they think their culture is above the law

    apparently nature is racist so a labour government will ban nature

    No doubt with saint Stephen Lawrence’s second cousin as cabinet minister in charge

    10pm BBC1 news Saturday night and breaking news according to the Asian girl reading it. Boris is back to work on Monday. How much does the news people cost us licence payers (I know we should stop)? What are those 450 people they are keeping on doing? I am sure either here, the DM or Guido told me yesterday that Boris would be back at work on Monday.

    Kuenssberg studied history at the University of Edinburgh, followed by a journalism course at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,[where she worked on an NBC News political programme.

    Which, apparently, qualifies her to attack the government on all fronts from logistics to science, what an education she must have recieved

    Studied ? generally means chucked out and did not qualify, hmm I’ve studied nuclear physics (read a book)

    Boo hoo, I’m heartbroken, but take comfort in the fact they will no doubt be begging for public subsidies, which the supine authorities will be only too wiling to grant.

    Meanwhile it is reported that the authorities in various European countries have turned a blind eye to illegal Ramavan gatherings.

    Oh, dear. Poor Mr Innocent Sopel is upset that Donald Trump might not do any more briefings following the media’s porkies about disinfectant.

    For those who may not have seen it, here is a fuller transcript of what was being talked about that led to the now infamous remarks.

    4-F83-E647-8904-4641-B7-A8-ED1-AF31-CD733.jpg

    It’s quite clear. He was talking about ultra violet light and whether there was some way to inject it into the body. The ‘disinfectant’ is presumably a reference to properties of the the UV light itself.

    Sopel knows this, as he refers in an earlier tweet to the existence online of these transcripts where he is using it to (in his own mind) catch the President out. So he must have read it, and is happy to carry on lying.

      Thanks for that – I shall go shove it up the rear end of a few people I know..it won’t see much light but they will get a good cleaning.

      Anyone with a brain could see he was just raising ideas – based on existing work..

      You just have to hope somebody reports the BBC for misrepresentation and fake news.

        It really won’t do you any good. I broke the habit of a lifetime and responded to someone who had replied to my comment on Twitter to Mr Sopel. I was trying to get to the root of why he thought the President had suggested injecting disinfectant.

        It remained civil and I quote from part of the last response (to date): “there can be no ambiguity that his thought process was that testing on direct injection of disinfectant was possible”.

        There’s no arguing or reasoning with a mindset that believes they can read thoughts. Context doesn’t matter when you are a mind reader. I will not be engaging further. There is no point, and even if I had changed his mind it would be one person amongst the millions – no, billions that the media has manipulated.

          Roland – I monitor twitter now – more so because I have largely excluded the BBC from my life – I have never ‘twittered ‘ and never will – nor uptick or retweet .
          I think a big element of entrenched views just shouting at each other – and there are people called FTBE or similar which seems to be some ‘Remainer ‘ club …..
          The funny stuff can be good though – but I’ve stopped looking at the comments because there are a lot of people with no sense of humour .

          As for this site – the chinese virus – as I suppose is inevitable – has taken over . But the site is a lot busier which is good and still fairly troll free ….

      immunomodulation and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Garlic Compounds

      Abstract

      The benefits of garlic to health have been proclaimed for centuries; however, only recently have Allium sativum and its derivatives been proposed as promising candidates for maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system. The complex biochemistry of garlic makes it possible for variations in processing to yield different preparations with differences in final composition and compound proportion. In this review, we assess the most recent experimental results, which indicate that garlic appears to enhance the functioning of the immune system by stimulating certain cell types, such as macrophages, lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils, by mechanisms including modulation of cytokine secretion, immunoglobulin production, phagocytosis, and macrophage activation. Finally, because immune dysfunction plays an important role in the development and progress of several diseases, we critically examined immunoregulation by garlic extracts and compounds isolated, which can contribute to the treatment and prevention of pathologies such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disorders, gastric ulcer, and even cancer. We concluded that A. sativum modulates cytokine secretion and that such modulation may provide a mechanism of action for many of their therapeutic effects.

      C_M,
      On one of the previous MedCram videos (sorry, cannot cite the edition number), he refers quite extensively to research into hot baths. Viral infection produces fever. That fever is the body’s natural defences at work and it is recommended that a patient lives with the fever, provided it does not become serious, as to reduce it, artificially stifles the body’s ability to naturally combat the virus. I recall that the researchers found that hot (followed by cold) was beneficial. More research is taking place.

    maybe lara c and the rest of this partially educated shower of sh@t missed that one, or more likely does not understand, her national certificate in basketweaving probably does not cover what the immune system is

      Garlic has been known about for a long time as has echinacea. Another one that comes to mind is feverfew. There is a branch of medicine called pharmacognosy (alt. non-Microsoft, proper English spelling pharmacognacy) and it is as old as the hills, well as old – at least – as Biblical times. Good old aspirin is made from old cricket bats or something similar.

      Thanks to a ‘still in date’ highly discounted offer of garlic stuffed olives the Snuffy household became rather interested in same. Not always up for buying the expensive ones that come with feta cheese at Tesco but there are alternatives available. When left to steep in olive oil, they become truly delicious in my view, likewise the bare cloves.

      Don’t do what some silly person did when garlic was first mentioned as a boost to the immune system and buy a heap of garlic and eat it in one go. She, iirc, ended up with burns to her esophagus and the top of her stomach. Garlic can be an intestinal irritant.

      Warning over, since eating a garlic stuffed olive (or two) a day, maybe with half a clove, I’ve found I have had less colds and less severe colds than previously. To trial thoroughly, I should give up for a couple of years. Unfortunately, I am now hooked, an addict. The olive oil may possibly be more effective, too, than the cod liver oil was at helping my creaking joints.

      If you are worried about the smell on breath in times of non-social distancing, don’t. I haven’t lost any friends. And you can buy odour free garlic pills at health food stores and pharmacies. But, BUT ALWAYS, read and follow the instructions, do not exceed the dosage and if you have a pre-existing health condition, check with your GP or a pharmacist first.

      As it is the Sabbath, a quote from Scripture: Revelation 22 vs. 1-4.
      And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

      How the BBC works:

      1. Edit down 50 minutes plus of multiple-presenter briefing to just a few minutes of Presidential speculation.
      2. Top and tail it with sarcastic voice-over by BBC female.
      3. Broadcast it.
      4. Wait for response from UK ‘experts’ to BBC News’ made-up-story.
      5. Report ‘confirmation’ by UK ‘expert’ that, on the basis of a BBC film designed to make the president look like an idiot, he looked like an idiot.

      Or to put it more simply, make up a fake news story, show it to someone with some creditability that trusts you, then report their comments as fact!

      That is the equivalent of criminals ‘laundering’ money!

      News laundering: The process of feeding a fake news story to a trusted authority so as to get it regenerated as fact.

      It takes Politico 11 mins to explain how the bBC deceives the casual viewer using a very short clip of its own manufacture. It is a good example of what the bBC does scores of times a day and why many people have given it up altogether.

      I wonder how long the bBC took to engineer their clip, how much plotting and planning and scheming it took, and how much it cost the TAXpayer? How many bBC operatives in total were involved in the deception?

      In a just society run by normal people, measures would be taken immediately against:
      the bBC – obviously
      OfCom – who should have already acted as ‘watchdog’ and seen what Politico saw
      Kings College – who apparently hire sub-standard staff

      Clearly all three are not fit for purpose and are not acting according to their designated remit(s).

      Of course these three are not the only ‘institutions’ that are not fit for purpose.

        Yes, RD. The President has a poor way with English language as you demonstrated by putting up some of the actual text used in the briefing. Think POTUS was possibly/probably making an instant leap to endoscopy/bronchoscopy because he’s an ‘ideas man’. He’s heard of organ washing and blood washing being done as part of various treatments, including transplants, and floated out an idea because that’s what he likes to do.

        I hope this rebounds on the BBC. If I was a journalist wanting to make a name (and probably live dangerously), I’d be looking at links between the BBC and the Democratic Party in America. The BBC are really out to ‘get Trump’ and ‘sink Trump’. In the opposite way to old man Hearst saying to his publications in the early 1950s ‘puff Graham’. He wanted them to publicise and cover Billy Graham’s growing worldwide ministry – and get some sales on the back of it.

    Viruses are highly adaptable, and have developed ways to avoid detection by T cells. Some viruses stop MHC molecules from getting to the cell surface to display viral peptides. If this happens, the T cell doesn’t know there’s a virus inside the infected cell.

    However, another immune cell specialises in killing cells that have a reduced number of MHC class I molecules on their surface – this cell is a natural killer cell or NK cell for short. When the NK cell finds a cell displaying fewer than normal MHC molecules it releases toxic substances, in a similar way to cytotoxic T cells, which kill the virally-infected cell.

    New clip emerges of Joe Biden sexual assault accuser Tara Reade’s mother phoning Larry King 27 years ago to ask if her daughter should go to the press about a ‘prominent senator’

    ‘A 1993 clip has emerged of the mother of Vice President Joe Biden’s sexual assault accuser speaking to CNN’s Larry King about her daughter’s alleged assault.

    The video appears to back former Biden staffer Tara Reade’s claims that she told her mother about the harassment related to her boss 27 years ago.

    Reade filed an official criminal complaint against the now presumptive Democratic presidential frontrunner on April 9, accusing Biden of shoving his hand under her skirt and penetrating her with his fingers while they stood in a senate corridor, an accusation he denied.

    The latest evidence to emerge shows Reade’s mother Jeanette Altimus calling into the Larry King Show in August 1993, the same month that Reade left Biden’s staff, and anonymously asking a panel’s advice on her daughter’s ‘problems’ with a ‘prominent senator’.’

    Matt Hancock to Parliament 27th Janaury 2020 stated: “The UK is one of the first countries in the world to have developed an accurate test for this coronavirus and PHE is undertaking continuous refinement of this test. PHE has this morning confirmed to me that it can scale up this test so we are in a position to deal with cases in this country if necessary.”

      The BBC’s admiration for Germany stems from two things: (1) it is not Britain and (2) it’s the heart of their beloved EU. We do not yet know the reasons why their response currently *appears* to be more effective. But, one factor might be in the way that deaths are attributed. The Germans are very precise in these matters (‘shot to death’, ‘died in concentration camp’, ‘died during death march’ etc), whereas the British response seems to be along the lines of ‘Had a bit of a cold a few months back? Put the cause down as Covid-19’. Ditto in the US, where there is no longer any burden of proof and it is merely sufficient to say ‘probably’ down to Covid-19 without any testing at all.

        I concur with the sycophantic relationship between the BBC, Germany and the EU.

        I also agree the German counting is precise. Our teutonic cousins have form here. However, I do not agree with your Perception of the British counting system.

        Reports suggest the opposite of what you claim. Doctors are reluctant to add Covid to the Death Cert. And the Care home figures are a complete unknown.

        In contrast to that 2 points. I’m not defending the BBC here.

        1. Our counting is clearly not precise, potentially bias to under-representation. It’s, therefore, likely to be far higher than the ‘hospital only figures’ presented to us.

        2. Matt Hancock lied to Parliament and the nation on January 27th.

        Why are the BBC and the media not ‘on this’? Why are the BBC and the Media not ‘on the migrant crossing crisis’? Why are the media not on the ’15K’ people enter our country unchecked every day?

      Only reason you might extend vetting is if you were 100% sure that a previously infected person could not re-acquire and spread the chinese virus. That’s one of the big unknowns. But, the statisticians have to have their say so for them more more and even more testing is good for their business. Maybe if we follow this rolling snowball downhill and find a staggering number of the population are infected through testing, we might conclude that, that, that, lockdown and isolation is the only safe way……………..

        1. Testing shines light. It allows policy to intelligently adapt to what’s happening in the on the ground. At present we have absolutely no idea what the hell is happening or where. Who has it? And precisely where they have it. All we know is patients ‘rock up’ to A+E. generally more in some areas than others. This is not good enough.

        Testing sheds light on this and allows policy to, ‘totally lock down’ in say “London’ while keeping a ‘soft Lockdown’ in say Cornwall.

        It’s just smart.

        2. Community test en masse stops spread. Given many who carry this virus are asymptomatic. You can identify through testing, immediate isolate, trace contacts. Isolate them (and I really mean isolate – not texting your whereabouts every few days) re-test and prevent further spread. This is exactly what S Korea/Austarlia do/did so successfully.

        3. While testing is not a cure. If you continually test, then restrictions can be lifted and applied as necessary rather than an entire nation sat in ‘like lemons’ clapping like morons or moaning.

        At the minute we do not test. It makes policy blunt, weak and fuzzy.

        We all suffer because of our lack of testing. While I hate the BBC, our government is second rate. The response is a joke.

        We need ‘war’ leaders, not middle management career politicians. I also include the opposition (and the rest of the joke MPs in parliament) in this group too (for clarification).

    Open everything up again. Holiday in this country. Children go back to school, but as they can be the biggest ‘carriers’, make wearing masks and gloves mandatory, treat everyone as though they have the plague and keep the social distancing for 12 months. Hugging and physical contact may be missed, but isn’t it a price worth paying in exchange for not being laid out with a respirator with only a 50/50 chance of surviving ? I certainly can.

    Haven’t had time to watch it but here’s Peter Hitchens taking part in Cambridge Union debate on the lockdown…He says…

    ‘Congratulations to the Cambridge Union which on Thursday night held the first proper twosided debate on whether shutting the country is the right response to Covid-19, so shaming Parliament and the BBC, which have yet to do so. ‘….

    He’s right…the BBC avoids proper discussion, limiting talk on the lockdown as to whether it was too late and too little….a very one-sided criticism that doesn’t ask if it was too much and not needed at all in the way it was imposed….

    There are lots of pertinent comments and questions attached to the article.

    Yesterday I saw a comment from a Royal Marine on twitter saying (I paraphrase) give him a few weeks and the resources and he would have the problem solved. So I say – put the Marines in charge of Border Farce. It’s obvious.

    I used to dismiss ‘conspiracy’ theories but it is difficult to ignore the one about deliberate population replacement.

      No conspiracy…Labour’s immigration policy was to ‘brown Britain’…the BBC always gleefully report demographic change as a good thing when whites become a minority whilst denying demographic change is happening whether by accident or design….they even made a video on Youtube trying to deny Islamic creep and they refuse to accept ‘The Great Replacement’ is a Muslim aim despite ample evidence and Muslims openly advocating this.

      As one of the comments says…this video hasn’t aged well…and it was out of date when it was made…..not just the numbers but the influence and the infiltration of positions of power and influence…how many muslims are in senior editorial positions deciding the direction, content and narrative of programmes in the BBC for instance?…

      On the military, I remember a thought provoking if skewed movie which had Bruce Willis as a general tasked by panicking pols to address a collapse in civil order due to terrorism. Before taking it on he advises that they won’t like what it takes. They don’t. And I think he gets shafted.

      The era of rough men being able to do the jobs others won’t was crushed years ago in every edit suite in the hands of the wrong journalist. Which means every journalist.

    I can’t remember where I read it, maybe on here or the DT but several comments have appeared saying that the number of deaths we get in the daily stats are up to 3 weeks old as it takes that time to get all the paperwork and stuff done.
    Basically, today’s numbers are those who died on 5 April or thereabouts.

    The comments all say that the number of deaths occurring today, yesterday and recently are in the 100’s, still a lot but far better than the 700’s we are being told.
    They say (commentators) they have found out these numbers by monitoring nhs sites (or something like that)

    I have no idea if these numbers are true but if so it should mean in about 3 weeks we should be having daily rates of 100 or so.

    You would think that someone in the media would point this out if there is any substance to it, it’s certainly worth looking at.

    My default position is that I cannot believe anything the msm or government say as everything now has an agenda or bias.
    I wish the bbc was an impartial news provider but it’s now just the same as the rest, an agenda driven lefty organisation.

    Has anyone got any suggestions of an impartial news source?

      I have always thought it was a very unclean habit to come out of place of work whether it be a hospital or a nursing home wearing a uniform that’s been used all day attending to sick patients. I still cannot understand how hospitals allow this. I have had same opinion even before this outbreak. I’ve always maintained they should go in their own clothes, change when they are there and bring back dirty uniform in carrier bag for washing. These same staff just wander into supermarkets or sit next to people on public transport. I dont know why this hasnt been picked up by hospital admin.

        Agree entirely. We do not have a car and rely on buses, which are often crowded, and regularly see health workers/nurses travelling in uniform.

        I suppose if they are required to travel in their own clothes there will be a call from certain quarters for a substantial ‘clothing allowance’.

          Back when there were ‘proper’ matrons and nurses homes, they wouldn’t be allowed in public in uniform, AND they had to look pristine clean on duty – sadly lacking now. Equally you often see operating operatives with flapping gowns, head gear and masks roaming free in the hospital – whats that all about ? White coats have gone, so anyone with a stethoscope around their neck could be examining you. Our ‘progressive’ NHS for you.

            Hattie Jacques is the role model here. Yes, they were only films, but she still set the gold standard for how nurses should look.

            Brissles, we used to see nurses out and about in London …
            … but ….
            they would be wearing caps and capes or cloaks in winter and were always immaculate.

            Seem to recall from my time ‘in the slammer’ sorry, hospital as a kid, that Matron or a Ward Sister would inspect the nurses coming on duty, much as a British Police Station Sergeant would hold a line up of Constables before they went on duty.

    Richard Dawkins is great
    but has tweeted stuff like this
    7 March : Denying evolution & climate change,
    denying that smoking kills
    & condoms protect against AIDS,
    denying science again & again,
    Pence’s track record in the world of facts
    would naturally make him Trump’s top choice
    to lead the fight against an epidemic

    links to Newsweek article
    https://t.co/KSKTUjJ9g4

    Then former beeboid Gavin Esler retweets
    & adds sneers at the Climate Realists cos they are so inferior to him.
    Is it at all possible @richarddawkins
    that the coronavirus outbreak might persuade
    anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers and other flat-Earthers
    that science, knowledge, facts,
    Enlightenment values and experts are actually useful?

    Esler is misrepresenting Climate Change Realists, and doing false analogy to smear them.
    cos of course such Realists do respect “enlightenment values”, proper science, proper scientific method
    fact-not-speculation
    & not having certainty beyond the available evidence etc.
