The Department for Education’s (DfE) lack of planning for how to deal with a pandemic, along with its failure to set standards for remote learning when lockdowns struck, resulted in children receiving “unequal [educational] experiences” over the past year, according to a new report. This report also says that the department has been “surprisingly resistant” to investigating the shortfalls in its Covid response. The Guardian has the story.
Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) also said there was evidence that the Government’s £1.7 billion catch-up programme – designed to restore the learning lost during school closures – may not be connecting with many of the most disadvantaged children. The committee’s report describes the DfE as having “worthy aspirations but little specific detail”.
Meg Hillier, Chair of the PAC, said: “The pandemic has further exposed a very ugly truth about the children living in poverty and disadvantage, who have been hit particularly hard.
“Online learning was inaccessible to many children even in later lockdowns and there is no commitment to ongoing additional funding for IT. Schools will be expected to fund laptops out of their existing, and already squeezed, budgets.”
Hillier said the DfE “appears uninterested in learning lessons from earlier in the pandemic”, preferring to wait for later public inquiries.
“It shows little energy and determination to ensure that its catch-up offer is sufficient to undo the damage of the past 14 months,” Hillier said.
The report, after hearings conducted by the bipartisan committee, was deeply critical of the DfE’s failings towards children with special educational needs and disabilities, many of who struggled with remote learning, and over the future of the more than one million digital devices it had distributed to schools at a cost of £400 million.
The DfE told the committee that the laptops and tablets were now owned by schools and local authorities, which would have to maintain and update them using existing budgets.
The committee accused the DfE of being “unprepared” for the disruption despite taking part in the Government’s 2016 cross-departmental exercise to test the U.K.’s response to a pandemic, called Operation Cygnus. The MPs also found that the DfE was “surprisingly resistant” to investigating its response since March 2020.
Numerous studies have highlighted that pupils made little to no progress while learning from home – so why the reluctance from the DfE to investigate its errors in fixing this?
The Guardian report is worth reading in full.

And Abraham refused to listen to God when God told him to hold his hand, and Abraham cut the throat of his only son, and burned the body on the altar of Covid, and went his way rejoicing, because he was now saaaaaafe.
And Abraham pled with God for the Western world, asking “O Lord, for 10,000 good and righteous souls wilt thou hold off your wrath and not destroy them?”
And God said:
“Look, Sodomy is one thing, but genetically modifying kids is taking the biscuit. You’ve all got to go.”
After an extensive trial on how many children?
given that risk of serious harm for this age group with COVID in healthy kids is like 1 in a few hundred thousand, I think the study should be oooooh about a few million patients minimum to show anything like statistical significance
(not single digit thousands like it probably is)
I agree the risk is essentially zero. Here’s some data to back that up based on all cause mortality in children rather than deaths labelled as covid.
It’s a Florence Nightingale chart of all cause mortality for the age 1-14 age category (which overlaps with the age 12-14 age group in this Moderna ‘approval’) using death data from the weekly ONS publication and based on the Florence Nightingale data representation idea of CEBM. There is week to week variation in this age group because deaths are so few relative to older age groups, but you should still be able to see any covid mortality impact in this age group, if there was one; you can’t.
Can you spot a single week since this all started in March 2020 when the number of all cause deaths in that week in this 1-14 age group were not higher in at least one same numbered week from 2015-2019. There might be one, but from a quick glance I’m struggling to see one.
Does that not broadly suggest that covid has had no affect at all on the age 1-14 age group in terms of mortality impact?
What does that tell you about the logic in inocculating that group with an experiment gene therapy whose short term adverse affects are significant and long term affects are unknown, when covid itself has no mortality impact on this age group?
And here is my chart based on ONS data showing even in relation to deaths labelled with covid (a safe and effective vaccine if it existed could only prevent against deaths from covid) the survival rate for children is as near as you can get to 100%
Before an extensive trial on many children.
I’m currently constructing lighting conductors for my children to make sure they’re safe when out and about.
Brilliant JtH, very witty. I’ll borrow that line – unless you have any objections?
Hadn’t you heard? They are working on a vaccine for lightning.
There are going to be some horrific tragedies in the coming months and next few years.
If some of the doctors and immunologists I’ve been listening to and reading are to be believed, yes there will. Millions of them. I can’t believe what we are witnessing.
War.
The most predictable tragedy. Is surely true.
Time to start serving Notices of Liability to our children’s schools and removing them from school on days when children are being injected. I’m a teacher and will not go to work on days when this is happening. I don’t want to be considered an accessory to war crimes.
All power to you. Thank you.
Thank you for standing up. We need more like you.
It’s odd isn’t it that Russian and Chinese vaccines are… vaccines, but the western world is being forced to undergo dangerous and sometimes lethal gene therapy. But we all happily accept this as normal. At this point I tend to think that any adult ill-informed and lazy enough to trust these drugs deserves what they get, but children? We have a duty to stop this.
…and the Russian and Chinese vaccines are not included in the list of ‘approved vaccines for travel’ that many countries are following.
Personally, I’m not partaking of any of them, irrespective of whatever concoction is in the syringe or wherever they are derived. It’s a no from me. I just cannot understand why any parent would inflict the concoction on their precious children.
My daughter is a member of an on-line ‘mums’ group, and she has been horrified by the number of mothers (usually American) who are not just getting their children vaccinated, but are actually queueing up to do so. These women have blocked their ears to reason and even caution, and my daughter is accused of selfishness and of endangering her child.
We are all learning terrible things about human behaviour in this terrible period of history. Mass psychology in action! Very difficult to ‘save’ the children of parents like that but I feel that as a teacher, I have a duty to throw a spanner in the works and proclaim my opposition.
A number of times over the past 17 months I have been reminded of the scene in The Poseidon Adventure in which most of the passengers unthinkingly follow a crew member to their deaths, despite been warned by Gene Hackman’s character that they are going in the wrong direction!
Very wise. It feels like a twisted initiation ceremony or holy sacrament required to prove you are ready to adopt the new official ideology. I’m certainly not and am committed to seeing that through, no matter where it leads.
Many people scoff about the Deagel prediction that was supposedly posted a couple of years ago – it forecast by 2025 massive population decline in the USA (down to approx 100 million) and the UK (down to approx 15 m) and also significant decline in the rest of Europe. It was assumed that this meant someone was forecasting a nuclear war – except the populations of Russia and China were essentially the same as they are now. Food for thought, but many cannot even bring themselves to consider the implications.
I don’t scoff at it at all. What other explanation could there be for knowingly administering and enforcing severely harmful drugs on a population? If it was about making money or controlling people via certification, the vaccine could be a placebo. I’m left with no rational explanation but biological warfare, and the work of Dr David Martin would appear to support this. Requiring people to make an appointment or queue up for their own annihilation. Terrifying.
Utterly irresponsible – even murderous!
If these jabs are authorised under an emergency, then that emergency must pertain to the recipients. It does not really pertain to adults, but there is absolutely no emergency for kids.
Spot on. At this point the argument for jabbing anyone, let alone kids is so incredibly weak that it’s astonishing that anyone is still falling for it.
I guess we’ll find out the consequences of this move over the coming months.
Or later when it turns out those children grow up just to find out they can’t have children themselves.
Moderna eh!
“Massive fraud in reporting vaccine injuries; withheld data, pretence of “safe and effective”
by Jon Rappoport
August 17, 2021
ONE: A bombshell. Alex Berenson, former New York Times reporter, August 6: “Covid vaccine maker Moderna received 300,000 reports of side effects after vaccinations over a three-month period following the launch of its shot, according to an internal report from a company that helps Moderna manage the reports.”
“That figure is far higher than the number of side effect reports about Moderna’s vaccine publicly available in the federal system that tracks such adverse events.”
300,000 vaccine adverse effects NOT reported to VAERS, the federal database.
Berenson: “The 300,000 figure comes from an internal update provided to employees by IQVIA, a little-known but enormous company that helps drugmakers manage clinical trials. Headquartered in North Carolina, IQVIA has 74,000 employees worldwide and had $11 billion in sales last year.”
“Earlier this week, Richard Staub, the president of IQVIA’s Research & Development Solutions division, sent a ‘Q2 2021 update’ which was labeled ‘Confidential – For internal distribution only’.”
“A person with access to the presentation provided screenshots of the relevant slide, which clearly explains the 300,000 side effect reports were received over ‘a three-month span’ – not since the introduction of the vaccine in December…”
TWO: Independent researcher Virginia Stoner has issued a stunning new report on the VAERS numbers, and the effort by mainstream scientists to minimize the destructive effects of the COVID vaccines. Here are key quotes from her report:
“More deaths have been reported to VAERS from the covid shots than from all other vaccines combined for the last 30 years.”
“There’s a code of silence shielding the massive increase in deaths (and other serious injuries) reported to VAERS from the covid shots. Not only do CDC web pages and press releases omit that inconvenient fact—vaccine research studies omit it as well.”
“The number of covid shots [in the US] administered so far in 2021 (309 million) is roughly the same as all other vaccines administered in 2020 (316 million). But a shocking 36-times more deaths were reported this year from the covid shots than were reported last year from all other vaccines.”
“Someone died from a vaccine they [a medical provider] administered…could it potentially call their professional judgment into question, or result in a malpractice lawsuit? If you were a doctor, or supervisor at a drive-thru covid vaccination clinic, and you were given a choice between spending the evening filing a VAERS report, or having dinner with friends, which would you choose?”
“There are reasons to think death may be one of the most underreported vaccine injuries of all—mainly because the victim is dead, and can’t file a VAERS report. Nor can they prod their doctor into filing a VAERS report. Unless they’re fortunate enough to have a relative or doctor who knows they got the vaccine, knows about VAERS, understands the potential for vaccine injury, and is willing to go through the onerous process of filing a VAERS report, it won’t happen.”
THREE: Open letter from Doctors for COVID Ethics accusing governments and media of lying to the people:
“Official sources, namely EudraVigilance (EU, EEA, Switzerland), MHRA (UK) and VAERS (USA), have now recorded more Injuries and Deaths from the ‘Covid’ vaccine roll-out than from all previous vaccines combined since records began.”
“TOTAL for EU/UK/USA – 34,052 Covid-19 injection related deaths and over 5.46 million injuries reported as at 1 August 2021.”
“It is important to be aware that the official figures above (reported to the health authorities) are but a small percentage of the actual figures. Furthermore, people continue to die (and suffer injury) from the injections with every day which passes.”
“This catastrophic situation has not been reported by the mainstream media, despite the official figures above being publicly available.”
“The Signal of Harm is now indisputably overwhelming, and, in line with universally accepted ethical standards for clinical trials, Doctors for Covid Ethics demands that the ‘Covid’ vaccine programme be halted immediately.”
“Continuation of the programme in the full knowledge of ongoing serious Harm and Death to both adults and children constitutes a Crime Against Humanity/Genocide for which those found to be responsible or complicit will ultimately be held personally liable.”
“Governments worldwide are lying to you the people, to the populations they purportedly serve.”
“The figures above demonstrate that the mRNA vaccines are deadly.”

How people in positions of authority when it comes to determining the safety of these ‘vaccines’ can ignore this is simply beyond me,
We can ask them, at Nuremberg 2.0.
Given that it has been shown that the protein spike is toxic, not just the whole virus, and the mRNA vaccines produce the spike protein in the body it’s presumably hard to tell the difference between a death from covid and a death from vaccination. Therefore a lot of “covid” deaths that have been reported in the last 4+ months could be vaccine related, meaning that the vaccines are even deadlier than the figures suggest.
Exactly

Discovery identifies a highly efficient human reverse transcriptase that can write RNA sequences into DNA
Plus this could write the mRNA into DNA making Jabbed persons permanently express spike proteins.
“Mainstream scientists” – would that be Big Pharma linked scientists?
“Code of silence” – I believe it’s called “omerta”. So Big Pharma-linked scientists collaborating in a culture of omerta over “vaccine” deaths…
AFTER THE VACCINE IF YOU GET SICK THE DOCTORS WILL NOT HELP YOU. YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL.
A friend who is a salon owner got their first Moderna jab, then caught the lurgy. They have a (known) inflammatory condition and ended up seeking hospital treatment although not admitted. Had their 2nd Moderna jab and reported having really nasty side effects almost as bad as the actual disease, I expect all linked to the underlying condition and overstimulated immune system. If that doesn’t put someone off, I really don’t know what will.
No, haven’t you heard? Adverse reactions are good. They mean the vaccine is working. I read it on the BBC website.
JCVI will make a decision on whether 12-17 year olds should be vaccinated with the shot made by Moderna as part of its deployment programme.
The shitbag arrogance of this statement. ONLY I will make any decisions about my 12 year old’s health, not you murderous cunts!
Well said
I’m taking my kids out of school on days when this is happening (inevitably) in school. Not fair to subject them to the pressure of having to explain to the children of morons why they aren’t taking part. I think its perfectly reasonable to not want our children to be present when biological weapons are being injected into children.
As reported by VAERS, adverse side effect of covid “vaccines” in under 18 year olds in US include:
Loss of consciousness (n=774)
Myocarditis (390)
Seizure (311)
Pericarditis (94)
Blindness (67)
Deafness (47)
Anaphylactic reaction (46)
Loss of personal independence in daily activities (43)
Bell’s palsy (38)
Guillain-Barré syndrome (14)
Death (21)
Now, look me in the eyes and tell me that the benefits of injecting kids with this experimental shit to allegedly protect the adults is worth these sacrifices.
Please review Dr Ryan Cole.Stop the mandate on Rumble; he discloses some facts about the US EUO Pfizer jab and FDA internal rules relating to experimental drug trials which will support your point handsomely
A quick internet search reveals the following: “The MHRA have Big Pharma directors on their board”.
I repeat, how hard can it be to say “the Big Pharma linked MHRA” – or whoever it might be – when mentioning these organisations. Full declaration of interests should be routine, the same as with politicians.
I might add that if sources that are likely to be biased for the pharmaceutical industry are cited, in the interest of balance sources biased against Big Pharma and neutral sources should also be reported. This is surely a minimum requirement for good journalism, and I cannot believe it is that difficult.
There was a time, not so long ago, when ‘conflict of interest’ was enough to ban people with financial interests in a project from involvement with that project.
I realised that this very civilised rule no longer applied when David Cameron’s father was paid a fortune by the government led by his son for having windmills installed on his land.
Yes, I believe a simmilar sort of thing happens in Libya…
Just imagine if I came along to your house and said I need to inject experimental gene therapy into you. You would rightly say no. Imagine if I was after your child? You’d rightly batter me
This is still experimental. No one needs this
This whole thing has had SO many twists and turns, I do wonder whether what they inject into the kids will actually be harmless, saline solution or something with the intended result that they will be able to say, you see, all the kids are fine; meanwhile bringing digital ID/passports in via the backdoor. Or is this too perverse?!
I have heard saline jabs discussed on other forums used possibly in small numbers for those ‘in the know’ but the consensus seems to be that on a large scale this would not work because of all the people who would be required to be in on the conspiracy.
They’ll have alternate production line machinery available to step in for maintenance reasons, I imagine. Then substitute coloured saline to fill the vials and log which batch / boxes they are during those episodes. If the aim is for everyone to have three plus injections, it’s highly likely one of them at least will be the real thing – unless you are one of the elite.
No more or less perverse than anything else we’ve witnessed for 18 months. Except I think the aim is to cause harm and kill; I can see no other alternative at this point.
Does anyone know if anything ever happened with this?
Why are we being quoted the opinion of a foreign medical set-up, who have no say in this country. We have no need to follow the dozy morons
It is now up to the Ursine Forestry Defecation Committee to decide whether bears sh*t in woods.
Oh well, if the UK regulator says its okay then I’m sure it will be fine. They wouldn’t steer us wrong………….
