Constable Helen Grus began probing into an emerging pattern of unusual sudden infant deaths (“SIDS”) after the rollout of covid mRNA injections in Ottawa.
Grus is now facing a disciplinary tribunal. She is being charged with discreditable conduct for querying the Ottawa Police Service (“OPS”) database in an attempt to discern whether a pattern of SIDS cases was emerging and if adequate information was being collected about the probable cause.

Keen was not allowed into the care home because the state stopped visits to “protect” the residents, meanwhile, it was the state her mother needed protection from.

We are perhaps witnessing a perfect example of the new wave of vindictive grudge cancel culture and this via one of the BBC’s top presenters.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66540492
I am right off no footie fan and know almost nothing about the footballer involved in this case or the charges against him of “attempted rape and violence” and certainly have no idea whether they have any foundation in truth or not.
If it were proven that this man did indeed carry out this sort of attack then he deserves everything he gets.
However I read the facts presented in the story and it clearly states that the CPS have “dropped all charges against him”.
To the common man this means that at present he been deemed innocent.
Nevertheless this Beeboid wants him dropped and his career crushed anyway, not it seems to me in the interests of justice but simply to exact some sort of general revenge.
We all have the right to express our opinion from a personal perspective but it looks like this lady is trying to whip up a sort of vigilante noose party and being such a lofty figure in the BBC has the effect of giving her opinion public support.
Guilty until proven guilty appears to cover it!
Yes and how strange that the BBC does not whip up a hate-mob against the female MP who *was* convicted of domestic violence. There seems to be a different standard applied when it is wimmin. This may explain why there are over 80k male prisoners and only 3,500 female prisoners when I last looked.
bBC it is time for an affirmative action policy.
Normally I would be in total agreement, but there are recordingsout there which are very distressing.
I think Greenwood’s partner couldn’t go through a trial or was otherwise persuaded to drop it or else.
It’s highly likely the CPS had access to that recording but nevertheless dropped the charges. It seems unlikely that the CPS would ignore such evidence and the outcome was in effect no offence proven to take to court.
My point is…
If we have reached a point where decisions made by an appointed prosecution service can be kicked into the long grass and replaced by vigilante action by any group or person then we no longer have a criminal justice system.
We may not agree with the outcomes but it raises the question of why we bother with a CPS at all and just dust off the public ducking stool again is the point I am making.

Absurd BS from Newsnight – an acknowledged leader in the genre.

“I was some what amused recently when I read a report by a journalist referring to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine as being “revanchist”. He was using selective memory because he failed to recall the Maiden coup d’etat of 2014 which over threw the duly elected government of Victor Yanukovych which just happened to be aligned with Russia. The coup was the first step in provoking Russia into a war NATO wanted. Russia was forced to intervene for strategic as well as humanitarian reasons as Neo-Nazi militias were attacking and killing ethnic Russian civilians in Eastern Ukraine.”
I note the CIA has done something similar in Pakistan with Imran Khan being imprisoned, with it allegedly being something of a threat to other nations especially Niger that disent will not be tolerated and that any non aligned leader can and will be overthrown.

Disaster Relief Plane Flies Over Hawaii On Way To Ukraine
U.S. — According to sources, a plane carrying emergency supplies and $10 Billion in disaster relief flew over the Hawaiian island of Maui on its way to Ukraine.
Island residents were at first delighted to see the disaster relief plane on the horizon until they saw it adjust its course to avoid the heavy smoke. “Where are you going?! Help us!” said a mother of four who had become homeless overnight when the fires took her home.

Don’t forget to clap … letby guilty of mass murder of babies …. I wonder how many other psychopaths are covered up by their wonderful world beating NHS .
Tricky one for the BBC so fond of putting the medical mafia of a pedestal …..
I wonder how many she really murdered …. Shame there’s no death penalty eh?
Tragic in every way, not least in the way the MSM can find areas of investigation and others to leave well alone at once.

In procedural and legal terms, I fully understand respecting chains of command and policy routes, etc.
However… was there something in place to prevent the Doctors going to the police directly, or was this a Rotherham thing?

Wonder if the NHS will introduce prayer free safe zones in pedeatrics
The details of this murdering medic is truly horrific in thr attempts the trust board took to suppress medics from taking action against her – and even having to apologise after a grievance case she bought against them .
There will be a public inquiry – but it will take ages – meanwhile there’ll be murders in hospitals – particularly those with no relatives or visitors who are a ‘nuisance ‘ …
.. don’t forget to effing clap
.. anything which brings the medical mafia down off that vile moral perch they occupy – is welcome – it’s just a very well paid job – that’s all …
Beverley Allitt, murderer of four children at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital in 1991. Like Letby, she was the only nurse on duty at the time of all the incidents.
Her minimum tariff expired in November 2021. She is now eligible for release on parole.
Fed, in all the BBC handwringing, the Montacutie was not allowed her usual long weekend, I had the name Dr Harold Shipman popping into my head. Now what was that good NHS Doctor famous for?

The inquiry is not to be a public one . Surely the big issue here is the role / culture / quality of those NHS managers – who seem to view the reputation of their Trust as more important than their patients .
It echoes the culture of plod – concealing the sins of their own at the cost of the taxpayer – even in my local paper there’s a rape charge plod yesterday – a series of various sex crimes – including the use of police protective equipment … not seen it in thr nationsl papers at all . Stabbings in London get less coverage that ever – 4 serious separate cases in 48 hours ….
… but back to the killer nurse – 4000 cases to be examined ….. I wonder if the nurse will be on suicide watch …
Tricky times for the biopic producers casting lead in this one.

Trying to dig a deeper hole than its buttcheek twin has not helped.
Actually an interesting article about journalism.
I’ve seen some really unpleasant, borderline-hate articles on The Guardian by their resident activists. Usually full of misandry but anti-white racism also get’s it’s fair share.
They are the ones who told me that we should not point out that it was black people attacking the Asians because ‘you can’t fight racism with more racism’.
Which I found odd because it’s PRECISELY what BLM do – and they fully support that.

Why is The Guardian unreliable?
The newspaper has dedicated journalists to cover specific issue areas, leading to high author expertise scores. However, The Guardian’s inherent and intentional left-wing bias in coverage and sourcing, as well as its large proportion of inflammatory opinion editorials, seem to contribute to the moderate overall scores.20 Sept 2022
Anyone surprised – maybe one for Springster ?????
The BBC is probing the hiring of five senior presenters on its news channel after claims the recruitment process was a ‘sham’, a report has said.
The presenters who got the top jobs, which come with salaries of as much as £230,000 a year, were allegedly told they were a shoo in before the appointments process officially began, several sources told The Times.
Human resources chief at the corporation’s production wing, BBC Studios, Daryl Maitland, began an inquiry into the hiring of presenters on June 8, eight weeks after the revamped version of BBC News launched, the paper said.
The single channel took the place of separate UK and international TV news services as part of a move to help the BBC save £400million amid inflationary pressures and a two-year freeze on the licence fee.
Bosses also want to make sure that characters recognised by international viewers are kept on air, The Times report said.
The investigator has reportedly been looking into claims that BBC bosses had already made their minds up for the presenter roster as early a last autumn, before interviews for the positions took place in January this year.
Journalists Christian Fraser, Matthew Amroliwala, Maryam Moshiri, Yalda Hakim and Lucy Hockings were announced as the New Channel’s five top presenters in February. The Times has reported they understand that around 15 stars applied for the jobs.
Presenters who had worked for the BBC for years including Tim Willcox, David Eades and Joanna Gosling took voluntary redundancy before the BBC started the hiring process.
However the fate of a third group of five presenters – Martine Croxall, Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, Karin Giannone, and Annita McVeigh – has not yet been finalised.
The presenters have not been on the air for nearly 20 weeks while on full pay – and The Times reports that the BBC are trying to get them back in work so they do not have to force compulsory redundancies.
A presenter who went through the recruitment process branded it a ‘sham’, when talking the paper.
They said that the broadcaster’s bosses who repeat values of truth, accuracy, impartiality and transparency ‘were behind a fig-leaf selection process that was predetermined months before anyone did a job interview’.

Like a rabbit trapped in headlight MPs become entranced by weird ideas
chirpy Blue Labour MP Miriam Cates was on TalkTV talking a bit of sense until 10:35am
then in cloud cuckoo land
“The population is *COLLAPSING*
if if if, we are very quickly going to see population collapse
.. huge cultural implications”
She’s a prime candidate for #GreenBlob PRtricksters
She claimed the current UK birthrate is 1.55 when 2.1 is needed for stable population
“There has been a birth slump in UK”
Em there were 613K births in 2020 , then in 2022 it was 605K
(2021 was affected by Covid)
I checked there’s no clear long term trend in UK birthrate
ONS says is unable to calculate 2022 rate
There was a blip UP in 2021 probably due to Covid times
Birthrate graph using data from England & Wales only
Big decline was 1966 to 77 ..been steadyish since
.. https://twitter.com/No2BS/status/1692509705061486992
She continued “For alarmist over population projections NONE of them have come true”
…
“(Greens) saying that humanity is bad for the Earth and we must decrease the population
No, there is a serious and more urgent situation
The population is *COLLAPSING*
(smirking) Fewer young people means more and more tax
(Hmm big tax comes from things like oil/gas)
…
It’s not even true that developing countries have exponential population growth (who said they have ?
The world graph of population is continuing to grow , the line is not quite 45 °, but we still have many many years of probable growth even if the line will eventually get to 0 °
“Only 3% of people live in countries where the birthrate is not falling
(What a daft stat. Of course birthrate falls , it can’t go up and up
if women have 10 live births each, the next generation is not going to have 15, them 20
80 countries have twice the birthrate of western countries
50 of them more than 3 times ie 3% annual births vs 1%)
..”In places like Africa where we think of women having 6, 10, 15 children that is just not the case anymore”
FakeNews she should’ve picked 7
In 6 countries the AVERAGE is 6 births per woman.
So yes plenty of women have 6, 10 or more births each
Niger 6.82 Somalia 6.31, Chad 6.25, DR Congo 6.16, Central African Republic 5.98, Mali 5.96
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate
“With today’s figures we will end up with 40% fewer babies within 2 generations”
That’s a slippery slope fallacy just cos there is slope today that does NOT prove it continues in the deep future
“Think about how many schools will close
… we are talking about EXPONENTIAL decline”
Doh the birth trend graph is for the longer term a flat trend it is not a decline getting steeper and steeper
Cos of immigration the UK population has for some time been in slight exponential GROWTH .. a bigger population increase each decade
“if if if, we are VERY QUICKLY going to see population collapse
.. huge cultural implications”
“Many schools in London are struggling with declining birthrates”
Really ??, name them
She wrote a long blogpost
https://www.miriamcates.org.uk/news/our-declining-birth-rate
TalkTV have put up the video
BTW One school in London did close
Archbishop Tenison’s School (seniors) with only 340 pupils was taken over by a large school group and then closed
Lucky for that school group the school sits on prime land next to the Oval , so they might recoup some money .. ha ha
The 6? Executive£ managers £ of the health trust legged it years ago . I’m sure the likes of the DM will know where they are currently living / working – how much their payoffs were and the pensions ….
These appear to be those responsible for the cover up .
The real concern must be how many the nurse killed … she was so casual as to set up a pattern of killing noticeable to other medics suggesting a really big number of ‘one offs ‘ …..unlikely to be noticed ….
And how many more of these angels are killing …?
Something stinks over this case. On tonight’s news a copper said how she did not show emotion, indicating she is sub human, yet in all the videos of her arrest she was crying. The photos of her look normal, unlike the artist’s drawings in the court where she looks positively evil. Was she carrying out an unwritten policy cutting short lives that were not deemed worth saving? And is there a reason why she did not appear in court to hear the verdict?
The ”lessons to be learned” mantra was repeated throughout the BBC report.
Stew, if we have a World War ‘mother nature’ will do her bit and increase the birth rate.

With a special link provided by the the UK Government for special names such as Muhammad, Mohammed and Mohammad (other names not so special)
We do not have a definitive answer for why the variations of the name Muhammad have generally risen up the rankings over time, but there are some possible explanations.
1. The increasing size of the Muslim community in England and Wales
2. The dominance of the name in the Muslim community combined with increased diversity in names for baby boys
3. The possible increased dominance of the name in the Muslim community
4. The possible effect of popular sporting figures with the names Muhammad and Mohamed
The term such as ‘increased dominance‘ is odd, when in maths you could use the term ‘increased occurrence’ instead.
dominance – power and influence over others
occurrence – the fact or frequency of something happening
Words do have meanings and some are more emotive than others.

A hundred times more significant. But not on the agenda so it’s hidden from us.

Vile and audience sort things out.
Or don’t. And miss the point they just made.
Deffo easy on the eye for an old bird, but then there’s the airmiles to offset.

Interesting how the front of screen Indian subcontinent TV ladies tend to look like this, rather than the heftier minxes in the research divisions.
And most might look ok, but do not have attractive personalities to match.
Looks like she’s dressed for a January Saturday night out with the girls in South Shields
Would that be Ocean Road for the effnick scran?
probably – I just remember lots of little groups of young girls wearing next to nowt + tottering about in gigantic heels, leaning into the onshore gale with freezing sleet.

I recognise her from a Black Sea resort: she’s called Ima Grotescu.

No real interest one way or another, but if British I wish them well.
However, starting to grasp why idiot media efforts, especially by idiot media girls, and some actual wimmin, provokes a hard to resist response.
As predicted – the 6 managers at the hospital responsible for allowing nurse letby to carry on killing babies all benefited from further NHS jobs in the last 5 years . Some – I think – accoding to the mail – still are well funded by their NHS . ..
( I think one of the 6 has ‘retired )

Good ol Gaunty! He used to have one of the worst phone ins ever on that brainbox of a station Talksport.
“And the British, whose cities were bombed into oblivion thanks to Hitlers hubris, evacuated their kids to remote areas and then stood firm.
They sought refuge in safer places their own country.
They didn’t desert it leaving their own wives and daughters behind.
You can’t be as thick as your tweet implies?”
You can not be as thick as this tweet implies? Where would they have gone? Most of Europe was occupied by the Nazis who were bombing them.
…………………………………….
“Yeah. To a safer part of their own country.
In the olden days men didn’t leave their wives and children behind when they fled conflict.
Women and children came first.”

Has Springster been put on watch?
The letby murder case will be in the news for a few hours before the BBC switches back to the footy hype . I wonder if the absence of royalty at the big game will receive comment – although I suspect someone will have to go .
Whatever the tedious outcome all will be heroes …..

Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter clone Threads rode a screaming missile out of the gate. Within seven hours of its July 5 launch, 10 million people joined the social media app, the Meta CEO claimed.
Exactly six weeks later, Threads is fading fast.

This is the bit I still don’t follow.
Consultants are not known to be shrinking violets, on top of duties of care or simple professional duty.
‘Only obeying orders’ has poor historical precedent.
All in all a terrible case. And already the laughable ‘lessons have been learned’ is bandied about.
The NHS culture has been brought into focus again beyond the political aspects that see opportunistic pols spotlighted, though Andy Eye Liner is still tainted by Mid Staffs.

“Remember when Barack Obama’s personal chef drowned on his property and the Obama’s lied about being there, they refused to identify the 2nd paddle boarder, hid who made the 911 call, the local police left information blank on the police report, and the media ignored the story?”

Powerful voices shouting down folk… non optimal
“Anyone challenging climate change policy is automatically branded a ‘denier’, comparing them to a Holocaust denier. But if you have to resort to smears to win an argument you’ve already lost, says economist Robert Lyman.”

Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei were two scientists who printed books that later became banned. Copernicus faced no persecution when he was alive because he died shortly after publishing his book. Galileo, on the other hand, was tried by the Inquisition after his book was published. Both scientists held the same theory that the Earth revolved around the sun, a theory now known to be true. However, the Church disapproved of this theory because the Holy Scriptures state that the Earth is at the center, not the Sun. As the contents of the Bible were taken literally, the publishing of these books proved, to the Church, that Copernicus and Galileo were sinners; they preached, through their writing, that the Bible was wrong.

The Piltdown Man was a paleoanthropological fraud in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. Although there were doubts about its authenticity virtually from the beginning (in 1912), the remains were still broadly accepted for many years, and the falsity of the hoax was only definitively demonstrated in 1953. An extensive scientific review in 2016 established that amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson was responsible for the fraudulent evidence.[1]
Note that the Earth centred model favoured by the Church explained motion, as solids were attracted to the centre of the Earth (centre of the universe) and gases sought to escape it. But Galileo did not produce a theory of motion, which came later with Newton. So when Cardinal Bellarmino invited Galileo to explain tidal motion Galileo had to think on his feet, rather like our climate scientists, and described how the Earth tilts one way and then the other, thus causing the tide to move. His followers explained how we can have four tides in 24 hours with reference to heat from the moon boiling the seas, like hot water in a pan. There ae many gaps in Galileo’s arguments which should warn us not to be so dismissive of the Inquisition as a bunch of religious bigots.
As for the Piltdown Man we have the embarrassment of scientists drawing conclusions from the evidence of a few bones, not noticing that one of the bones had been carved into the shape of a cricket bat.

Yes, let’s go with ‘mistake’.
“These numbers are fraud.
It’s 5% of electricity. Which is about 1% of domestic energy and around 0.3% of the “UK’s energy demand”.
0.3%. Not 5%. ”
Shocking that the

“Plus the bulk of vaccinations have now been some time ago, and even the most vulnerable are likely approaching the point where immune protection is fading.”
