    Hull grooming gang of 150 ‘men’ rape 13 year old schoolgirl sometimes ten at a time .. Any sign of this on BBC website ? Not yet. ( as at 0700 ) I can’t even find it on local news pages.

    ( sky news link : https://news.sky.com/story/amp/i-was-raped-by-150-men-young-women-claim-grooming-gang-at-large-in-hull-12469237 )

    Headline BBC news is instead about the ‘ Windrush scandal ‘ . As usual, it is what they Don’t say more than what they do say.

      I read this

      This is shocking it should be headline news everyhere

      there was a primary aged girl there as well

      The scum should all be castrated at the very least

      Where is all the usual outrage that the word of the victims is not enough ?

      Is it because of the nature of the perpetrators ?

        The answer to your last question is of course YES.

        So why do politicians, the media and the ruling elite continue to ignore the industrial rape brought to our country by these third world savages? That is the question I like to ask.

        It’s because if they acknowledged the barbarism of the alien races they have brought here they would have to admit they were wrong. And that they have been wrong since the 1950s.

        They have believed all this time in their multicultural fantasyland. They are too fond of it. They are too much invested in it and therefore they must suppress any story that seems to contradict it and threaten their delusion.

        They would have to admit that Enoch Powell called it right. They could never do that.

        They would have to admit that the uneducated white plebs whom they so despise had, from the start, a surer instinct about the dangers of mass immigration than they did. They could never do that.

        They would have to admit that some cultures are superior to others, that some races have higher average IQs than others. They could never do that.

        They would have to admit that their mass immigration policies are destroying the societies of white Christian Europe, the best societies that ever existed anywhere on Earth. They could never do that.

        They would have to admit that homogeneous societies work better than multicultural societies. They could never do that.

        They would have to admit that their whole philosophy was the result of some profound self-hatred and evil desire to see everything that was good about their country destroyed. If they did that, their virtuous self-image would be tarnished.
        They’d have to kill themselves.

      A member of a gang who sexually exploited a child has had his sentence for abusing the girl reduced.

      Naim Khan, 43, was jailed for 24 years in 2020 for a series of sexual offences against the teenager in Oxford when she was aged between 13 and 15.

      The Court of Appeal in London found a previous jail term had not been properly taken into account when he was sentenced.

      His prison term was reduced to 21 years.

    Just heard some deeply troubling news that whilst China is threatening Taiwan and Russia is rattling sabres over Ukraine, and Iran is quietly working to become a nuclear power Biden is making ever growing steps to destroy the United States ability to even defend itself let alone project power around the globe.

    The Democrats have made the insane decision that all officers in the military have to have a covid vaccine or leave (be sacked). This does not extend to the men and NCOs.

    In other words the entire command and control of the US military is likely to be so badly compromised that it will be unable to function.

    This is on top of a lack of combat training because of the crazed prioritisation of ‘diversity’ training over combat training.

    We are witnessing the most evil ideology the world has ever seen – one which has killed more people than any other destroying the USA before our eyes.

    Boy – does that BBC love coloured folk . Arrivals from the third world in the 1960s too feckless to get their nationality sorted out are to get free money from the taxpayer . BBC loves this . Yet they are too lazy to claim the cash .

    So the BBC wants to find a better way to give away money . I’m guessing these people don’t listen to the BBC yet alone the Today programme –

    Also – the Honorable Stella Creasy is on a mission to take her kid into the Commons . Great idea . I think every MP should be able to take their children into that place . Maybe they could take their pets in as well .

    Rajan had preceded this by quoting from Tom Bingham s book on ‘the rule of law ‘ – which I have read – with rajan trying to sound authoritative – questioning whether the mandatory life sentence for killing plod means there is not ‘equality before the law’

      I thought ‘equality before the law’ meant that the accused, whether they be lout or lord, get treated the same?

      The ‘law’, the written code, has never and can never be ‘equal’ because of the way it comes about, often in response to perceived ‘problems’.

      This is quite apparent if one looks at safety laws, in the past written in response to specific accidents but which do nothing to ‘prevent’ unforseen accidents in other industries. That is why newer legislation requires people to self-assess what they propose to do and to work in a safe way.

      For example: “We provide you with a safety lamp to inspect a large fuel tank because the law requires it for working in an explosive atmosphere but we don’t provide a safety harness for going down the slippery ladder because not enough people have been killed yet to make it law”.

      Fed,

      BBC headline:

      “PC Andrew Harper’s widow wins bid to change law”

      A “bid” to change law? What happened to the ‘bids’ in the past troubles in Northern Ireland which saw the death of perhaps hundreds of “emergency service workers”. Silence. But now, our Stazi has been taken that little bit further from those they so-say ‘protect’. Beef up the laws on Self-Defence? No Parliament will work toward ultimate control of the public – just as we are witnessing right now. The public are never going to be given more power to protect themselves which, to survive these days is becoming increasingly necessary.

      Let’s make a, “bid”.

      What other “emergency service workers” display a range of weapons hanging from belts and ultimately hidden in locked boxes in the boot of the ‘Police Car’?

        The problem is that one particularly awful case – combined with inadequate sentencing – leads to a ‘bad ‘ law . I’m a great believer in capital punishment – which would have been ideal in the case of the 3 youths in that case .

      I think there might be some confusion as to what equality before the law actually means.

      It is supposed to mean that each law applies to everyone the same and that has been a desireable position since the time of ancient Greece.

      However that is not to say the law is fair or that the process is equal.
      In our ‘system’ of judge made laws the rich get to make laws which they want, such as the super injuctions or JK Rowling who has so much money she can buy the laws she wants through constant appeals.

      The law in Britain is a protection racket where the one who puts the most in the pockets of the greedy weasels wins.
      The man who represents himself has a fool for a client, not because his case is weaker or less well put, but because he has denied a greedy weasel fees and the judge will punish him for that.

      We are also seeing via the prosecutions brought a large slkant in favour of better justice for the Left when incidents happen – that is a most disturbing development.

    I’m all for law and order – to quote the late great golf commentator Peter Alliss caught in a hot mike incident – I’d flog them… all the way to the gallows. Metaphorically.

    However, I’m not sure that discriminatory laws favouring public sector workers are either fair or wise: ‘LIFE for killing police & nurses‘ (Daily Mail) ‘Harper’s law triumph for campaigning widow who watched killers of PC husband smirking in dock

    If your problem is dock smirkers – then bring in life sentences for dock workers, lorry drivers, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers – and all other murder victims, whatever their employment might happen to be.

    To be fair, our failing Home Secretary could do with some good headlines to take our minds off the tens of thousands of smirking dinghy law breakers she’s letting off scot free: ‘Pritti pays tribute to family who battled for law change in honour of hero officer‘ (Daily Express) – nice headline – won at no political cost or effort whatsoever. Good news too for lazy boy Boris.

    Speaking of our public sector heroes – here’s one to raise the old blood pressure: ‘NHS pay rises to attract better bosses‘ (Telegraph)

    Do sit back and try to relax as the NHS search for a vein from which to extract ever more of the national life blood.

    Business chiefs call for end to tax increases‘ (Telegraph) – we were told to listen to the corporates – at least when they endorsed climate alarmism.

    Here’s a small victory of sorts: ‘Wills & Kate bin BBC. They switch Xmas concert to ITV‘ (The Sun)

    What are our more left-leaning press titles concerned about today?

    The Guardian has apparently been down to the shops and is checking prices: ‘Chicken feed. Why is the UK’s favourite meat so cheap?

    Oh dear, the Gruan ain’t happy about cheap grub for the masses: ‘Fifty years ago, a medium broiler cost the equivalent of ÂŁ11 today. Now it is less than a latte or a pint of beer, raising serious ethical and environmental questions‘ – I do like the societal divide our Guardianistas instinctively draw between those who calibrate prices on the metric latte system and those still stuck with the old fashioned imperial pint of beer measurements.

    What else discomforts the Guardian? ‘Windrush victims still unpaid after four years‘ – perhaps it is fortunate then that fried chicken is so cheap – otherwise certain communities might go hungry.

    What worries the ‘i’ newspaper? Well, if one were to say the title was a little coronaphobic that would be an understatement: ‘Winter warning 1000 covid deaths in a week for first time since March‘ – this in a nation of near 70 millions, with likely more than a 1000 newcommers entering by various means legal and illegal per day.

    The FT has looked a little closer at the mortality figures: ‘Excess deaths raise questions for NHS. The UK has entered a third phase of excess deaths, with the fgures not readily explained by Covid-19. They raise the possibility that more people have been dying due to heath service strains

    Hey doc, thank you for seeing me – via Zoom. I’ve got this health service strain… I read about it in the press. Tell me, is it dangerous? Be frank with me, how long have I got? Isn’t there anything you could prescribe… other than a nice big payrise for NHS bosses?

    HOLLYWOOD, CA—In a show of support for the brave hero who paused burning down black-owned businesses to sacrifice his life fighting off the evil assassin Kyle Rittenhouse, actor and keen observer of murder trials Mark Ruffalo donated $50 million to found The Joseph Rosenbaum Elementary School.

    “I heard he just loved little kids, especially boys,” said the Marvel actor, who prides himself on fully investigating the facts before posting on Twitter. “The least I can do is memorialize him for decades with a school built in his name so generations of children will always be reminded who Joseph Rosenbaum really was.”

    Ruffalo, a movie star famous for his role as The Hulk in over three hundred Marvel movies, displayed his keen sense of logic and reasoning when he reminded everyone that Joseph Rosenbaum was just one of the millions of young black men who are thoughtlessly slaughtered every year by members of the KKK.

    Then, with dramatic flair, Mark Ruffalo gestured behind him at the commemorative statue, showing happy children sitting on the beloved martyr’s lap.

    The BBC really should be criticising hard the government’s intention to pass “Harper’s Law”. This is the idea that the murderers of emergency service workers should be given mandatory life sentences. We all remember the awful killing of PC Harper by a trio of gypsies.

    PC Harper’s widow is quoted as saying “Emergency services workers require extra protection.”

    No. No group requires “extra protection”. We all require the full and equal protection of the law before which we are all supposed to be equal. The essence of the problem is that sentences are too lenient for violent crimes. Criminals do not fear the law anymore and this is making all of us, not just emergency services workers, unsafe. If the death penalty were to be reintroduced for murder, then criminals would start to fear the law. There would be a huge reduction in not just the murder rate, but in attempted murder and assault. (These additional benefits are often not appreciated by abolitionists.)

    If this law is passed I can foresee ordinary members of the public feeling like second class citizens when the murderers of their relatives don’t get life.

    Why do our politicians and journalists not have critical thinking skills anymore? They are being swayed by emotion into passing a law that is inherently discriminatory and unjust.

    So, the recent carnage in the US where a racist rapper mowed down white grannies and white kids has been put at the back of the cupboard by the BBC. A bit awkward this one…Wrong colour victims, wrong colour killer…

    And they don’t seem overly interested in the revolting revelations from Hull about Pakistani paedo gangs raping primary school girls. Is there anywhere in Blighty that this isn’t happening?

    I’m afraid it’s the usual ploy by our ghastly state broadcaster; if there are any nasty events that depict minorities in an unfavourable light, they wheel out another historic ethnic grievance. Usually it’s the sainted Stephen Lawrence, but this time it’s…The Windrush kerfuffle.

    Undoubtedly it would be a bit tiresome if you’ve lived here since the 1950’s to have your citizenship questioned, but for FFS, does it really compare to a race motivated mass homicide or the industrial scale rape of kids?

      BBC call fake news … corrections …

      Monday 11th March 2019: BBC News bulletins, BBC One and BBC News Channel, 3 March 2019
      In an interview with Shamima Begum’s husband, we incorrectly stated that in the UK, “sex with someone under 16 is statutory rape.”

      In fact, that charge does not exist in UK Law. The Sexual Offences Act 2003 instead refers to this as “sexual activity with a child”.

      Friday 1st March 2019: World at One, BBC Radio 4, 17 January 2019
      We said, “At the moment, offshore wind is now £57.50 per MWH”. We should clarify that we meant to specify that this is the current estimated cost for 2022-2023.

      The BBC’s arms claim to uncover and expose conspiracy theories. But on their journey, they invent conspiracy theories.

      They claim to counter ‘misinformation’, but in their desperation, they create, reproduce and transmit it.

      As you know it’s a bit of a hobby horse of mine that the BBC is increasingly crafting content for individual visitors to its web site in a way designed to balkanise the audience.

      see upthread. They’ve now modified what’s delivered to archive.is – a .co.uk used usually to deliver the uk web page there but no longer – it now goes to .com.

      nooo… not insidious at all – eh?

          BBC say \\ Before the attack a group of three men and a woman in their mid 20s were asked to leave a private car park at the premises by volunteer stewards, police said.
          The group had allegedly been behaving anti-socially, drinking and using drugs.
          Speaking at the scene, Ch Supt Simon Rose said when the stewards challenged the group,
          “they were subjected to a tirade of Islamophobic and racist abuse”.
          The car then drove near the mosque
          and the group were involved in a confrontation with a large number of people outside.
          Their car was then reportedly damaged by some of the crowd before it sped off,
          colliding with three people

    Listening to Julia Hartley Brewer on TalkRadio this morning was talking to Lord (Matt) Ridley on his new book (VIRAL) about the cause of the global pandemic and the media claims that it was the fault of BATS in China and nearby ‘wet markets’ that caused it. This was peddled by the media that banned any deviation from the line. This was officially the US and UK government line until recently. now its become clear this is not the case and most of us know that it was an and is an artificial ‘lab’ virus released into the wild. Only now can the cause be traced. Although you can buy the book, I can make a pretty good guess, as the information is also called by the left as ‘conspiracy theories’ when in fact a conspiracy does exist and its no theory.

    Lord Ridley book :(here) Maps out the origins. (which may support the following links I have collected, although not read his book yet).
    Its clear that WUHAN is in the news but I suspect they were not the perpetrators.
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10226681/US-documents-scientists-Wuhan-lab-studying-viral-samples-Laos-bats.html

    And, of course such VACCINATIONS are becoming a mandatory Vaccination But what goes into the vaccines? when it is now clear the VACCINES are not that effective and are (in some) suspect – in extending – or creating multiple VIRUS alerts that don’t exist! Particularly Pfizer as reported to German drug authorities is highly suspect. Read a fully researched paper by two doctors in NZ claiming that the SARS virus (2b) was manipulated to ‘extend’ into biological (human) targets. And the next question is who funded the WUHAN lab to cross-species BATS to Humans. You will be not surprised to learn the US was funding that program.

    (2) The VIRUS (PCR test and vaccine) is not a proper ‘VACCINE’ or ‘PCR’ test is something ‘else’ entirely to extend the pandemic. To be honest, this is global FRAUD by drug companies charging our governments Astronomical amounts per person every six months — for life. Only Astro Zenica stand out as being unique and handed out at cost in UK. It works differently to Pfizer although both claim to do the same thing. Not all things are equal in drugs.

    Be aware that all VACCINATIONS may reduce your life chances with ‘complications’ for your children in later life.
    Particularly If and many are already immune. You are six times more likely to die taking a VACCINE, so that’s the problem, not reported. Plus the not well known fact – release earlier this week – that you can still ‘pass on’ the (so called) VIRUS and it offers ‘no real protection’ to those you work with. The fact is that it ‘carries’ six times wider than an ‘un-vaccinated’ person, is of real concern. Its as IF they want it to spread by such vaccination!

    So why is the reported case of COVID soaring across Europe? To be locked up and prevented from public speaking and being apparently ‘healthy’ but perverted from living your normal life? Why are Doctors afraid to voice concerns about the lack of ingredients in Pfizer for example? And why the hell are **SORUS and GATES blaming a Chinese labs for the pandemic blaming ‘Bats’ when it now clear they specifically were involved in FUNDING (Bat related) viruses in China and its not clear if it was released in multiple places around the world. (Blamed on world Travel but there were reports three years ago of government flights releasing aerosols to ‘combat global warming’). Who knows the truth there.

    So a good conspiracy if it were true, but the VIRUS was launched a year or two well before – before the media were given the ‘global emergency’ PANDEMIC and had to follow the WHO ‘official line’ until quite recently – over the past few months – when we can now ask how this was allowed, when its clear that something is not being investigated by western governments (until now perhaps). Who would you ask, or have tracked down the source as an ‘outbreak’ when it was in part ‘engineered’?

    At the end of it all, this is the final culmination of UN AGENDA 21 which many mocked and disbelieved that it would or could never work. Those who thought it ‘impossible’ are not laughing now. The fact that is linked to ‘Climate Change’ and ‘population control’ still seems far fetched until its all linked to ‘sustainability’ (a UN term) as a world role model designed ultimately to lower the population to a zero increase bu ANY MEANS HOW. A totalitarian global super state with digital ID cards passports runs by those that sponsored the (so called) VIRUS outbreak. Even now the common cold is also a VIRUS, but the PCR test will ensure you are counted as a COVID virus victim and could pass it on…. as a continuation of the same ‘emergency’. The Virus of the Common Cold. There are a lot worse viruses out there. Ebola, Smallpox- for example, are far more dangerous as are the current backlog of all ‘hospital’ and routine health issues which are now backlogged into the far distant future. This is not going away.

    And the current media fascination with MASKS is completely pointless and ineffective outside a hospital situation. Most of the masks are not surgical standards, and not may of us could afford them if they were. The masks, the PCR tests, and the false ‘alerts’ are what has driven Austria into lock down. It has nothing to do with the ‘un-vaccinated’ , who are less likely to ‘pass on’ a virus. Totally the opposite to BBC ‘claims’ and Sky media ‘reports’ over the past two years. But as the US research shows no observable difference in being masked!!

    All the links confirm the observations, that the pandemic was ‘man made’ by a shadow organisation based in the US.

    (1a) US Drug Research:
    Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States. – (so COVID vaccination is spurious)
    https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7

    (2b) NZ Drug Research:
    Basis of this article, read the last few pages to see the photographs of what is put into the vaccine. It will not cure SARS, and arguable that it will harm or shorten your life chances.
    THE COVID-19 FRAUD & WAR ON HUMANITY
    https://drsambailey.com/2021/11/11/the-covid-19-fraud-war-on-humanity/

    (3c) UK Drug Research:
    Developers of AstraZeneca vaccine finds that vaccinated hospital personnel are acting as super-spreaders — asymptomatic but a viral load 251 TIMES that of the unvaccinated. And listener in Vietnam trapped in country and under house arrest for weeks due to COVID (only 700 deaths reported in a country of 98 MILLION in a year and a half). So the (so called) Vaccinated are responsible for spreading the COVID virus seems to be an ‘advantage’ in the media and certain governments proposing ‘emergency lock-downs’. Think Scotland, or Wales. But being vaccinated clearly does NOT prevent transmission as the media state the opposite. And then you ask why is this.
    https://odysee.com/@DavidKnightShow:1/Oxford-Finds-Vaccinated-Have-251X%E2%80%99s-Viral-Load-as-Unvaccinated:6

    (4a) Ironically Astra Zenica has a different system for dealing with the Virus. Its slow to work but may offer more long term protection than almost all others as it stimulates ‘T-cells’ (unlike others Vaccines). Quoted in Telegraph today. Quoted being better than Pfizer-Biotech and Moderna it is said. But none last more than six months before your due another shot (without any guarantee that you won’t die of SARS in the meantime). As its UK produced, one can hope that is is more slightly more effective than the other miracle ‘cures’ being peddled.
    https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-07-16-t-cell-training-grounds-behind-robust-immune-system-response-seen-adenovirus

    An Agenda based on fear by whom?
    The aim is a never ending global ‘emergency’.The US Drug companies are making serious money and they are immune from prosecution, as long as it lasts. So no end in sight for a lifetime of misery and effective ‘early’ death by proxy of (so called) COVID complications. In fact all the approved COVID drug companies have ‘immunity’; from prosecution, licensed to each country by order!
    US companies are making killing in the market for these ‘essential’ life serving drugs!

    So I remain sceptical. This is all about political control, not health. Governments do not care much if we live or die, but if they can control the media. Children are also targets of the global media wars as propaganda. The message is ‘compliance’ mirroring the calls of China, which did use ‘emergency’ measures, even though they were only indirectly responsible for its release. Lord Matt Ridley’s book published today, indicates that the Chinese has been studying Bats for years without any outbreak and the so called bat’ market was a thousand miles away. Go figure who released the TOXIN and who paid for biological research into ‘cross-species’ into a more effective weapon. US or China?

    I just hope I am wrong. Look at Europe, it cannot end well. Listen to the main media channels and they claim BORIS (or insert CORBYN) that he has not gone far enough. The belief that we are all doomed has reached critical certainty, orchestrated by FAUCI, SOROS and GATES.

    Pandemic, Climate, Food, Transport and compulsory ID cards are all tools in play (the UN Agenda policy keyword was ‘sustainability’). Green is about compliance and big (GM) monoculture, served by big US companies based in IT and Pharma Drugs. A political over reach of funding its own interests. Politics not democracy.

    Perhaps it is the end or the world as we know it. Marxists and Globalist have indeed merged. But for how long? The BBC are the useful idiots for ‘climate change’ and other fashionable phobias. Its taken this long to reach ‘the long walk’ to Marxism.

    On the other hand it could all be a nightmare, one that will go down in history as a false claim by a powerful influential group that is infiltrates into most media organisations. It gives them a ‘Common Purpose’ to play on the fears of the public and lets governments introduce’ emergency powers’, even though the whole fiasco was a conspiracy right from the start. This is 2021, it is UN Agenda 21 that claims all the measure they are proposing are ‘sustainable’ once net zero population is achieved. Those involved believe in this and ‘Climate Change’ is real blaming Fossils, believe in Islam (as harmless), believe in de-funding the Police, live sexual education in schools, every gender matters (all 1,642 of them), and other daft and unprovable claims. At some point it will become obvious that all this nonsense is ‘unsustainable’ although the media will change course to another ‘emergency’ when given instructions to do so by political masters.

      Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
      “… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
      -Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015

      Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.

      Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”

      Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
      “Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”

      1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
      2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version

      Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”

    Yesterday I was in the most Covid dangerous place I have ever been : inside a doctors surgery where there were 4 lines of 40 people total INSIDE
    I waited about 30 minutes in a line outside the pharmacy vaccine booth , right in front of the doctors reception
    the same booth the surgery sent me last time.
    When I got served
    “No you are not on our list, you must be on the surgery list
    You have to go outside and round the back and join the Covid queue ”

    FFS The same building was running 2 different flu vaccination routes.
    So I went round the back, but that queue was too long so I had to come back just before the 12pm closing.
    My original actual appoint was 12:50pm, but the surgery had phoned in the morning to say they’d cancelled afternoon work and could I just join the line anytime in the morning.
    Still no news on my booster.

    I think all four lines should have been just a few yards away on the outside of the building not inside.

    Oxford, 2011. For nearly a year detectives have been receiving reports of girls disappearing, some as young as 13, only to return days later, refusing to tell anyone where they had been.

    Sometimes they would be bruised, bleeding and half-naked.

    For the past few months a Thames Valley Police team has been investigating the cases, but making little headway.

    But in the early hours of 14 November, the man leading the small group, Det Insp Simon Morton, made a connection that would spark the biggest criminal investigation in the city’s history.

    The senior investigating officer said he had just finished debriefing a surveillance team when the “penny dropped”.

    As he sat in the police briefing room and stared at the names of suspects written on a whiteboard, Mr Morton suddenly realised he wasn’t looking merely at a set of sexual predators, but a highly organised crime group.

    “I started scribbling like mad,” he said. “In honesty, I was annoyed I hadn’t seen it before – it was so bloody obvious.”

      Uh huh.

      With what though?

      And why is an MP who prefers green rooms to serving her constituents running U.K. energy policy using bbc headline sub treatments?

      And why is every bbc local democracy controlled medium quietly allowing XR to take over local government?

    Information on how many MP’s have take the Covid-19 vaccine and those that have not.

    This information is not held by the House of Commons. MPs are not employed
    by the House and we have no role in monitoring or managing their
    healthcare arrangements.
