          I believe that we in Britain and the West, are now living in an Orwellian age. What happened in a bad flu, became an official pandemic, mandating virtually force vaccination in Britain, and actual forced one in much of the West EU.

          The MSM media, particularly the BBC, became the official media which transmitted the government line in the UK and the world. The policy has been so successful that I see no reason why the BBC will be ditched anytime other then a cultural revolution and more.

          The vaccination programme allowed the government to restrict our freedom to move unless we had a “Health Passport”. What could be more Orwellian.

          And now we the West, are in a perpetual war against Eastasia. Which means the BBC becomes an even more important organisation for not only Britain but as a “trusted” information source and propaganda, for the world.

          If we ever get out of this age, historians will view the flue pandemic as the lever that allowed almost all governments to imprison their people.

          Governments with incessant propaganda and restricting free speech under the guise of misinformation, made out that covid was worse then ebola and we were all going to die. Far from the case. And now they know that we are sheep.

            NCBBC, I suspect Covid-19 was a mutation of chicken ‘flu’ and bird ‘flu’ that occurred in China just after the turn of the century. It was highly notable that a doctor in the UK, very early in the Pandemic (something like April/May 2020) said he had noticed an effect on the airways of a patient similar or identical to SARS-CoV-2 which is an influenza-type effect similar to chicken ‘flu’/bird ‘flu’. It is thought that Covid-19 in all its mutations is zoonotic in origin.

              Why don’t Polio, the Measles or most other ‘viruses’ have hundreds of mutations like SARS-CoV-2? SARS-CoV-1 had none. Don’t you think this is strange? This SARS-CoV-2 ‘virus’ seems to be indestructible although not being vaccinated I have been remarkably adept at avoiding it over the last three years. So have all of my unvaccinated friends. It’s a funny old world.

            The next ‘pandemic’ is in the offing. Check out the Government website and the jobs advertised by the UKHSA. These guys can find anything in anything with their PCR tests and they will wash, rinse and repeat. Furthermore, the usual suspects held another one of their desktop simulations of an outbreak of a ‘deadly’ virus (ie one where no one dies) in October of 2022. However this time they ‘predict’ it will affect younger people more than the Covaids which is why they needed to get the harmful injections into the arms of everyone. The next one is going to be exponentially more ‘deadly’ and you will sit up and pay attention this time. Not my words, those of Kill Gates.

              It is alleged America also had scores of biolabs funded in Ukraine. Now stopped.

              All these publically funded biolabs must be under legally mandated public scrutiny. No exception, as bioweapons are illegal and thus no justification for secrecy

              When things go wrong, the high and mighty get proper shelter, and party it up, while we the ones who funded all this, are left to be shouted at and locked down with threats by the police.

    “BBC gives Shamima Begum 10-part PODCAST to tell her story of how she joined ISIS

    The BBC released a 10-part podcast about Shamima Begum and her life in ISIS. The 23-year-old tells a journalist about her life in a refugee camp in Syria. The broadcaster insists that the show is a ‘robust’ investigation into Begum”

      Shamima Begum accepts she joined a terror group
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64222463

      Just been reading that on the BBC site.

      And hot on the heels of the ‘groomed’ ‘far-right’ terrorist girl who killed herself, it includes the line:

      The question which jumps out of the article is : Why are the BBC so bothered about this person to devote so much time and licence-fee payers cash towards trying to help her ?.

      Is it because they have so much support for her in the office ?. Or she’s another BAME/Muslim ‘victim’ to virtue signal about ?.

      What I did notice is they now have adopted the phrase ‘terror group’ to avoid using the word ‘terrorist’. Which, of course, is still used ‘liberally’ (pun) against the Right.

      The BBC have never done a ‘robust investigation’ into anything. It’s ALWAYS carefully crafted to make you think in line with their agenda.

        oops – missed the line I meant to quote which is:

        ‘The tribunal hearing has centred on whether she was a victim of trafficking for sexual exploitation, or a committed IS volunteer who is a threat to the UK.’

        Why ‘is a threat to the UK’ tacked on the end ?. Are all ISIS members welcome here as long as we don’t think they will murder us ?.

        It’s perfectly obvious that she went willingly. She would not want to come back if ISIS had won.

              Is it right to use humour to mock extremism?
              A sketch called ‘The Real Housewives of ISIS’ featured on BBC Two show Revolted this week. It features women in mock suicide vests and depicts brides of terrorists in a spoof reality show style sketch. It has sparked discussion online – some are offended by the satirical sketch which makes light of real ISIS housewives that are exploited. However, others say it is just a comedy and should be taken lightly. Callers Taj and Shahji told Shazia what they thought of the sketch.

    Lone reader queues for Prince Harry’s release of Spare
    Staff at London bookshops were surprised when the expected onrush of buyers failed to appear
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/01/10/prince-harry-book-spare-sale-bookstore-queues/

    So the article by the BBC about the queues was a complete lie then.

    But what I find extremely worrying is that if you search ‘harry spare queue’ on google, you get many results of different news sources saying the same lie.

    I’ve mentioned this here many times before about how an agenda-story suddenly appears everywhere overnight. And this one being a complete lie is absolute proof that somehow they are being fed these stories and they all fall into line and run them without question – presumably to swamp news feeds.

    Something stinks in our media.

    Take three girls edition

    Former paper of record the Times finally acknowledges what non-mainstream voices have been warning of for months – Lockdown chickens have come home to roost: 1,000 excess deaths each week as the NHS buckles

    But… but, but… you may ask, didn’t we ‘save’ the NHS? Flatten the sombrero and all that?

    Fifty thousand more people than normal died over the past 12 months, with NHS delays blamed for one of the most deadly years on record (Times)

    Perhaps the NHS is un-savable?

    On a much lighter note, let’s attempt to get our heads around this one…

    Foyle’s War star: I drove drunk to dodge a threesome (Daily Mail)

    Such a sweet old-fashioned looking girl; she makes Times frontpage pin up while the Telegraph goes for a proper old blue stocking: Oxford’s new head dons the mantle… Prof Irene Tracey… was named its 273rd vice-chancellor yesterday… insisted she was against setting targets that would restrict… private school pupils…

    No contest…

    Honeysuckle Weeks… has admitted driving while twice over the alcohol limit. She said she had to flee a friend’s house as she feared being coerced into a threesome (Times) – I don’t believe a three-handed ‘cutthroat’ rubber or two of bridge is being referred to here.

    Jolly poor show from Chief Superintendent Foyle’s prim lady chauffeur, who was always so adept with his 1938 Wolseley around the quaint little backstreets of Hastings: …she reversed into a parked car in Arundel, West Sussex, and drove off (Telegraph) – she could have broken character for a moment and called an Uber

    Excuses excuses… from one threesome (make-up unspecified) to the single survivor of those infamous ISIS girls Mr AsI likes to call the Three Mosqueteers…

    Shamima Begum accepts she joined a terror group. In extensive BBC interviews… (BBC) – that’s our licence fee cash well spent, eh?

    I shouldn’t knock it really, I’ve a bet on that she’ll be back in Blighty, sooner or later and I’m confident I’ll collect.

    BBC FRAMING THE NARRATIVE FOR A RETURN TO THE EU FOLD

    Again, Farming Today was suggesting that we need EU style checks to avoid contaminated farm produce coming into the UK. Anna Hill celebrates the tenth anniversary of ‘The Horsemeat Scandal’ which, if I recall correctly, happened in 2012! Better late than never for a reminder that the EU doesn’t work and that we are better off out and away from that dreadful organisation of so-called Sovereign States which didn’t prevent contamination of the UK meat supply by horsemeat.

      That’s not saying it’s all junk, but why would anyone use a list which has obvious junk in it ?

        Most of the experts raising concern are using the ‘all cause death’ metric. This is because this figure is the most difficult for corrupt governments, resident psychopaths, and indeed our anychess to corrupt.

        If there is an explosion in all cause deaths it explains why experts in their individual fields such as: cardiologists, footballers, undertakers, cancer consultants, politicians, vaccine experts, lawyers, pathologists, financial experts, underwriters etc etc etc are all raising the alarm.

        Personally I would prefer that a drug was proved safe before unleashing it on the public, especially children.

        I do not subscribe to the theory that the vaccine is the causal factor in these cases. Far more likely it is the heavy contact. There is a condition known as “commotia cardis” which major cardiac dysfunction due to sudden impact on the chest wall.

    NEW research from Shelter has shown that more than 5,000 people are recorded as homeless in Yorkshire and the Humber – a number which includes over 2,000 children
    Shelter’s “analysis” of official homelessness figures and responses to a Freedom of Information request shows that of the over 5,000 people, 170 people are sleeping rough on any given night and 4,540 are living in temporary accommodation.

    The number of people living in temporary accommodation across England has risen by 74 per cent in the last 10 years
    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/23238161.shelter-research-claims-2-000-yorkshire-children-homeless

    I presume Shelter are a Labour front group, who’s job is to bash the Tories.
    The clip had the Shelter guy saying Tories must push up Housing Benefit payments
    I reckon doing that is bad cos it ends up pushing up rents
    And such TAXPAYER money mostly ends up in the pockets of RICH housing landlords.

    Strangely the cut and paste below hasn’t hit the msm –

    From Kent online via the twitter … it may or may not be true …

    STARTS A disgraced children’s doctor was chased through a hospital by a self-professed ‘paedo hunter’ after arranging to meet an underage boy for sex.

    Intensive care paediatrician Salman Siddiqi – who was allowed to treat youngsters at QEQM despite a previous caution for flashing – was arrested at the site on Sunday morning following a sting by the amateur detective.

    The anonymous ‘hunter’ – who works alone – had pretended to be a 14-year-old boy and arranged to meet the consultant at his lodgings in the hospital grounds.

    Siddiqi, 44, of Globe Road in Hornchurch, had sent naked pictures of himself ahead of the 3am encounter and was expecting the pair to engage in sexual activity.

    But when he was instead confronted outside the accommodation by a 49-year-old man, he turned and ran into the hospital’s A&E department.

    The ‘paedo hunter’ gave chase while calling police, following Siddiqi through a number of doors he was opening using a security card.

    Siddiqi was eventually detained by staff and arrested when officers arrived at the hospital, before being swiftly charged and hauled in front of Folkestone magistrates yesterday.ENDS

    This one seems sub Judy see so careful …dr saddiqui is innocent until guilty …

    Notice I didn’t include a map of Globe Road Hornchurch …

    Whilst looking at this I found the nmc register of struck of NHS nurses – but it doesn’t give the reasons ….

Given taxes are now at a 70-year high and there’s another strike every ten minutes, it is worth remembering just how much cash has been lost to fraud and negligence – probably never to be found – since 2020. BEIS’ annual report showed that, of the three main loan schemes available to businesses during the pandemic, the level of “fraud and error” is estimated at 8.4% – or around £985 million. HMRC now say it’s £4.5 billion. The total liabilities for all Covid loan schemes, including for businesses which later went bust, is £15.8 billion…

      MM, actually it is something of media myth that taxes are at a 70 year high. They were actually higher than they are at present during Margaret Thatcher’s time as Prime Minister. I cannot remember the current numbers I think they are under 40% but I do remember that in the 1980s the tax burden nearly hit 50%. Of course it all depends what taxes you include in ‘the tax burden’, we have so many ‘directs’ and even more indirect taxes.

    The BBC and other mass media are responsible for making the elderly and others scared to turn on their heating in their homes because of the higher electricity and gas prices they keep forecasting. Clearly without adequate warmth in the winter , the spread of flu and pneumonia will be more of a problem and more hospital beds will be occupied.

    .. https://twitter.com/ABridgen/status/1613094003611688961
    An outcry immediately followed. Fellow Conservative MP Simon Clarke described his claim as ‘disgraceful’ while former Tory MP Christian Wakeford said it was ‘despicable’ to make such a comparison during the month of Holocaust Memorial.

    Chief Whip “He has crossed a line, causing great offence in the process. As a nation we should be very proud of what has been achieved through the vaccine programme. The vaccine is the best defence against Covid that we have. Misinformation about the vaccine causes harm and costs lives. I am therefore removing the whip from Andrew Bridgen with immediate effect, pending a formal investigation.”

    Bridgen is also currently serving a five day suspension from the Commons after being found to have breached rules on paid lobbying and declaring interests.

      The term “climate denier” is a deliberate rhetoric to equate skeptics with Holocaust deniers

      Such language is LEGAL
      but I wouldn’t use it
      #1 It is insulting to the memory of Holocaust victims to insinuate their torturers were merely the same as provocative tweeters

      #2 If you want people to improve , then calling them scum and Nazis is not a good starting point

      #3 The use of such language reflects badly on those using it

      Yet I’d expect that libmob tweeters have endorsed people on their own side

      BBC Radio 4, 26 October 2022

      In a discussion about the Just Stop Oil protests a contributor said ‘everyone agrees that our government’s decision to pursue new oil is a death sentence for millions across the globe.’

      The presenter challenged whether ‘everyone agrees’ and went onto add that ‘no government in any country around the world of any political complexion agrees with that statement.’

      To be clear, the presenter did not intend to suggest that all governments take the view that new oil developments are a mistake. Rather he was questioning the claim that ‘everyone agrees’ that the UK Government decision regarding such development will result in millions of deaths around the world.

    The Unions and their leaders are a total disgrace. You see how their leaders are Communist/anarchist and anti Government they are. But behind them are the branch leaders who are so left wing and anti capitalist that Lenin would have branded them as too extreme.

    Two things worry me about Uranium showing up at Heathrow.
    1) The BBC downplay the story, burying it under Regions – London.
    2) They quote various authorities telling us that the incident “should not worry the public”.

    Ok, now I’m worried.

    While the Beeb are positively nonchalant, the Sun frames the story quite differently with the headline: “NUKE PLOT SMASHED. Deadly shipment of uranium seized at Heathrow en route to Iranians based in UK sparking terror probe.”

    I trust the Sun much more than the BBC, especially with stories concerning certain, ahem, religious groups of a murderous disposition.

    The uranium originated in Pakistan, then transited via Oman to the UK where it was destined to Iranians (which is not mentioned in the BBC report).

    I’m sceptical about enrichment… especially when it comes to uranium.

      LOW means an attack is highly unlikely
      MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely
      SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely
      SEVERE means an attack is highly likely
      CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future

    Ian Collins on talk tv has been slagging off Mark Bridgen for the last hour or so.
    He says 99.9% of those who know (cardiologists and the like) are the ones he believes.
    He can’t understand that anyone without the government approved position on the vaccine is not allowed any msm space and any who do dare to speak up (like Bridgen) get cancelled by the lefty msm.
    That’s why he only hears one side of the argument.
    He’s even insinuating that there’s something wrong with Bridgen and that he’s worried for him.
    He says Bridgen is a tin foil hat lunatic.

    Give him his due, he is reading out the viewers comments and just about every one is pro Bridgen and are saying things like “go and work for the bbc” and things like that to him (Collins)

    He seems to have bought the governments position hook line and sinker.
    He probably believes the masks stop you getting (and passing on) Covid.

    He’s now arguing with a caller. The caller asked him if he believed that sudden deaths were happening and he said they were NOT happening.
    The caller had him reeling and he stopped the call saying he had to go to the news (then went on to play adverts)

    In the DM comments, well over 90% of the comments are completely behind Bridgen.

    Well done Andrew. There’s lots of us on your side and you will be proved correct in time.

    I look at Andrew Bridgen’s Twitter
    it’s mostly about Covid policy and the Vax
    There’s a tweet saying ‘John Campbell he’s the man ‘
    .. Yet the John Campbell video doesn’t play

    Turns out that on Swindon, Campbell has been a victim of Garbage In, Garbage Out

    The original data showed Swindon to be the world myocarditis hotspot
    Having a rate as high as the South of England, and growing magnitudes yearly
    He made a video it went viral ..his opposers laughed.

    12 hours later Swindon said “sorry we had a database error”
    and put out a correction to their data, which meant Swindon has steady myocarditis
    on the scale of a small town
    “very fortunate” Campbell sarcastically said in the new Swindon video he immediately put up.

      Newsnight
      BBC Two, 13 July 2021

      A graphic attributed the following statement to the Government Race and Disparities Report 2021:

      Not a single police force in England and Wales registered an arrest rate of less than 20 for every 1000 black people.

      By contrast not a single police force in England and Wales registered an arrest rate of more than 20 for every 1000 white people

      We should have made it clear that this conclusion had been carried by The Independent newspaper the previous year in a wider survey of social and economic data on disparities between different ethnicities in the UK and reflected statistics from a different Government website which was now out of date.

      The most recent figures show there are four police forces with an arrest rate of below 20 for every 1000 black people.

      Victoria Derbyshire
      BBC Two and BBC News Channel, Monday 13 August 2018
      During an item about homelessness, the Victoria Derbyshire programme interviewed a homeless man called Ashley who told us that he had been forced to leave home by his father because he is gay. His family subsequently contacted the BBC. They deny that Ashley’s sexuality was the reason why he became homeless and say it was for other reasons. We apologise that this was not reflected in the programme and for any distress caused.

      It’s not unreasonable to expect a FoI on a technical issue to a public body to be sanity checked prior to release – as those subject to FoI are by definition authoritative!

      The twerps in Swindon Great Western Hospital Trust should be sentenced to 3 months cleaning bedpans with toothbrushes.

      If they got that wrong – non unreasonable to suspect that other stuff is sloppily done by people who’re expecting not to be punished or publicly humiliated for a screwup that could have very serious consequences – and that … in my not so humble opinion is not how it should work.

      The Andrew Marr Show

      The programme reported that “more than 31,000 people have died OF Covid-19 in Britain so far”.

      In fact it would have been more accurate to say these people died WITH Covid-19. The figures were for all deaths where the person has died within twenty eight days of testing positive for Covid 19.

    elephant-dies-suddenly.jpg?resize=750%2C734&ssl=1

    The Coronavirus SARS‑CoV‑2 developed in Wuhan is a synthetic spike protein chimera engineered to attach to human ACE2 receptors. It causes an allergic reaction in mature immune systems called a cytokine storm, an allergic reaction to fragments of spike protein. It’s why children with an immature immune system are not effected. The only protection that the mRNA jab gives you from Covid, is by temporarily suppressing your immune system to protect you from the allergic reaction. But all mRNA Injected people have consistently altered blood as seen with live cell dark field microscopy. This includes impeded blood flow with deformed red blood cells sticking to each other, and profoundly decreased red blood cell stability and survival. The lipid nanoparticles in the jab gives you a gene sequence that makes your body make spike proteins. The spike proteins induce red blood cell death, which creates fatty deposits that form what looks like white blood clots. The haemoglobin is wiped out, caused by a massive outflow of fluid from the interior of the cell, causing the cell membrane to fold, as a result, the cells turn white. A number of embalmers have reported pulling these stringy, stretchy objects out of deceased people who got the jab, and they’re different from anything they’ve ever seen before. Processes that would normally break down a blood clot do not work on these amyloid-like depositions. Impurities also means that you may be getting fragmented RNA, as opposed to complete RNA, which can have unforeseen consequences, as shortened RNA can end up producing incomplete proteins. They have polyethylene glycol content in varying ratios. They have salts, sugars, genetic material and other contaminants. Natural immunity protects the unvaccinated from myocarditis due to antibodies created against the natural spike proteins, stopping and limiting spike protein exposure to less than a week. But in the mRNA jabbed, the spike proteins hang around in the lymph node germinal centres long after a jab, and the jab makes human cells continue to produce spike proteins as well as spike protein antigens over the long term, producing long term damage for the jabbed individual. In effect unvaccinated Human cells don’t make spike proteins, but mRNA vaccinated Human cells make lots and lots of obsolete variant spike proteins. Ivermectin may be the best approach to bind the circulating spike protein.

      Many African countries have been praised for waging an effective campaign to combat the spread of coronavirus despite their reputation for having fragile state heath systems.

      The continent, which has a population of more than one billion, has had about 1.5 million cases, according to data compiled by the John Hopkins University.

    Opinion: China has cornered the market on antibiotics, so the U.S. must rebuild its manufacturing capacity
    Published: April 28, 2021 at 4:10 p.m. ET

    The U.S. allowed its plants to close under the onslaught of subsidized Chinese production

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-has-cornered-the-market-on-antibiotics-so-the-u-s-must-rebuild-its-manufacturing-capacity-11619640612

    Right now, the U.S. has virtually no capacity to manufacture antibiotics. That’s because China currently controls roughly 90% of the global supply of inputs needed to make the generic antibiotics that treat bronchitis, pneumonia, pediatric ear infections, and life-threatening conditions such as sepsis.

    The Chinese government already knows that the U.S. is acutely vulnerable to antibiotic shortages. In fact, Beijing has orchestrated a long-term cartel strategy that successfully drove the production of antibiotics—and thousands of other generic drugs—out of the United States.
