We’re republishing a post from our in-house doctor, formerly a senior medic in the NHS, on the unreliability of official figures on ‘Covid inpatients’ . This was first published in July and only now has the mainstream media finally cottoned on to the fact that the NHS’s Covid inpatient figures are unreliable. Since we published this, there have been at least three updates to the ‘primary diagnosis schedule’, all showing a consistent overstatement of 25%.
On Thursdays, the NHS release the weekly summary data in relation to Covid patients. Normally this is a more granular version of the daily summaries – it has some hospital level detail and figures on non-Covid workload for comparison. Usually interesting but not especially informative.
Yesterday was an exception. Placed down at the bottom of the page, almost like a footnote, was a “Primary Diagnosis” Supplement. Graph One shows the information contained in that spreadsheet. I find it astonishing. In essence, it shows that since June 18th, the NHS has known its daily figures in relation to ‘Covid inpatients’ were unreliable at best and deliberately untrue at worst.
The Yellow bars are what the NHS has been informing the nation were Covid inpatients. The Blue bars are the numbers of inpatients actually suffering from Covid symptoms – the difference between the two are patients in hospital who tested positive for Covid but were being treated for something different – where Covid was effectively an incidental finding but not clinically relevant.
For example, on July 27th, the total number of beds occupied by Covid patients was reported as 5,021. However, until today, we were not permitted to know that only 3,855 of those were actually admitted with Covid as the primary diagnosis. There has been a fairly consistent overestimate of the true number by about 25% running back to mid June – figures before that date are ‘not available’.
Why does this matter?
Well in one way it doesn’t matter very much. Whether the burden of Covid inpatients is 5% of the available beds or 3.5%, isn’t massively significant – it’s still a relatively small proportion. NHS managers are already arguing that even patients with Covid being treated for another condition still need isolation procedures and present an extra burden on the system. They may argue that the NHS is still under strain from staff absences, stress levels and the waiting list backlog – so it doesn’t really matter if the published figures are somewhat inaccurate.
But it matters hugely.
Firstly, it clearly shows that the NHS has been exaggerating the burden of Covid on hospitals by 25% since at least the June 18th and almost certainly for longer. All the senior NHS leaders and politicians quoting the number of Covid inpatients for the last six weeks have been painting a seriously exaggerated picture, significantly worse than the true position. Were they in ignorance about the true numbers, or were they deliberately misleading the public?
The question also arises whether Government ministers have been given the same inaccurate information, or whether they too knew the information was exaggerated. This goes to the heart of how important decisions are made in the U.K. If ministers are being provided with incorrect information, they will make poor decisions. Have the NHS been deliberately ‘filtering’ information passed to ministers with the intention of influencing important decisions and maintaining restrictions on the public?
On the other hand, if the decision-makers were aware that the published figures were false and that the true picture is significantly better, why have they been so slow to open up and so ready to talk up the threat? Hospital inpatient numbers and the burden on ‘our NHS’ have been used for months to justify maintaining societal restrictions, vaccine passports, excessive and expensive testing for foreign travel and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties in the U.K. Have ministers been aware all this time, that the true picture was far less of a ‘threat’ than they have publicly stated? I think the public need answers to these questions from our elected representatives – and directly honest ones rather than the usual obfuscation and circumlocution.
On July 12th, Mark Harper MP asked Sajid Javid in the House of Commons whether the information being published about Covid inpatients was accurate. The question was captured on the Parliamentary TV channel. Javid replied to the effect that the information may not be strictly accurate and he had asked for clarification from the Department of Health on these points. If these new figures are true, we now know the extent of the inaccuracy.
Of course, many readers will have long questioned the validity of the official data. I myself have found it difficult to reconcile the admissions from the community numbers, compared with the monthly discharge figures set against the ever-increasing numbers of ‘Covid inpatients’. The figures just didn’t make sense – now I know why.
In previous posts, I have preferred to look at daily admissions from the community, rather than the figures for patients diagnosed in hospital, based on my suspicion that the data was manipulated. As readers will know, the number of positive tests in the community has been falling for the last week. Graph Two shows daily admissions to hospitals from the community on the blue bars and the three-day rolling average on the orange line.
The rate of admissions seems to be levelling off – readers should remember that admissions usually lag positive community tests by 10 days or so. This is an early finding and may well prove to be a false indicator, but at the moment it is changing consistently with falling test numbers. The next week will be important in assessing whether admissions will mirror tests and start to fall. It is entirely reasonable for readers to question whether these figures are also exaggerated – I wonder that myself. Nevertheless, it is the trend rather than the absolute value that is the important issue, so I do think this dataset has utility. Fewer positive tests in the community should filter through to fewer positive tests on admission – even for patients admitted for other primary diagnoses, so it should be a fair reflection of the amount of virus there is prevalent in the U.K.
Supporting this finding is Graph Three. showing the fall in Admissions in relation to positive tests – in February, about 10% of people testing positive ended up in hospital. Now only 2% do – in essence, Graph Three shows that the risk of someone ending up in hospital with Covid has fallen by 80% from the peak number in February.
As with in-hospital infection rates, the NHS has once again been caught out concealing important information from the public. I find that truly shocking, but not surprising – in some ways I’m actually more surprised they have admitted it!
My suspicion is that the new health secretary and the newly appointed CEO of the NHS have been keen to get the true figures in the public domain at the start of their tenure, knowing that it would come out eventually. In business, this is called ‘kitchen sinking’ – where a new CEO gets all the bad news out early with the hope of blaming one’s predecessor and establishing a fresh start.
Nevertheless, Amanda Pritchard, appointed this week as the successor to Simon Stevens, has been the Chief Operating Officer of the NHS for nearly two years – is it possible that she has been unaware of the deception until very recently and suddenly undergone a Damascene conversion to the cause of transparency?
What this issue really goes to however is the factor at the heart of any doctor-patient interaction. The concept of Trust. I can’t overstate how important trust is in clinical medicine. The managers of the NHS expect clinicians to practice a ‘duty of candour’ when interacting with the public. It seems they don’t consider themselves to be under the same obligation. A curious parallel with recent ‘double standards’ from our politicians.
NHS managers at the highest level have repeatedly been caught out concealing important information or distorting published data. They did it with in-hospital infection rates, with reported death figures and now with hospital inpatient numbers. Viewed in a generous light this could be attributed to serial incompetence rather than deliberate deception. However, there is a pattern of behaviour here: concealment, denial, cover-up; trashing and vilification of people questioning the official narrative; followed by reluctant forced admission, spurious post hoc justification, dismissal of criticism and an appeal to the public to trust the NHS.
Our political and health care leaders may be about to discover that trust is a fragile commodity – and it’s running out fast.

Net-Zero and the Top Gear Factor
“EVs show our Net Zero obsession has gone too far”
Whilst we have had many great detailed articles here on this site about the improbable and ridiculous economics and practicalities of ‘Net-Zero’ it remains the case that for many people I speak to, it is the failure of EVs to deliver the ‘Top-Gear’ motoring experience they expect from a car that has killed of the ‘Net-Zero idea’ as a credible way forward.
If you go into a social club or a pub, you will hear relatively few conversations about heating boilers and solar panels but you will hear plenty of conversations about cars. Most of the ‘you-tube’ channels about cars have large numbers of followers. Cars matter a lot to many people and it is the way the net-zero EV business has messed with their cars that is why you hear many everyday folk dismissing ‘net-zero’ as a credible concept.
after the first couple of power cuts the conversation will change. All those virtue signalling, unthinking supporters of Net Zero will begin to say they always thought it was unachievable.

World War 3 has already started.
‘A North Korean general was wounded in a Ukrainian missile strike on southwestern Russia’s Kursk region.
Pyongyang sent Colonel General Kim Yong Bok to oversee North Korea’s coordination with Russia.
In exchange for the troops and a steady stream of artillery shells, Vladimir Putin is said to have given Kim Jong-un a million barrels of oil as well as anti-air missiles.
Satellite imagery, shared by the Britain-based Open Source Centre with the BBC, appeared to prove that the Kremlin is breaking international sanctions sending huge quantities of oil to North Korea.
On Friday, Shin Won-sik, Seoul’s security chief said: “It has been identified that equipment and anti-aircraft missiles aimed at reinforcing Pyongyang’s vulnerable air defence system have been delivered to North Korea.”
Following the news of the wounded North Korean general, Kim accused the US of increasing tension, saying the Korean peninsula has never faced a greater risk of nuclear war.’
And the action has already spread to Britain:
‘A second defendant has admitted starting a fire at a London industrial unit, which needed 60 firefighters to bring it under control…..The men had been charged with the offences under the National Security Act alongside Jakeem Rose, 22, Ugnius Asmena, 19, Nii Mensah, 22, and Paul English, 61. It was alleged in previous court hearings that Earl orchestrated the arson attack on behalf of the Wagner Group in Russia.
A British man admitted on Friday that he carried out an arson attack on a London commercial property linked to Ukraine, and that he had accepted pay from a foreign intelligence agency, in a case prosecutors have linked to Russia.
Jake Reeves, 22, pleaded guilty at London’s Woolwich Crown Court to charges of aggravated arson on the premises belonging to a “Mr X” on an industrial estate in east London in March.
He also admitted a charge under Britain’s new National Security Act (NSA) of obtaining a material benefit from a foreign intelligence service.’
When Putin’s first ballistic missile hits Britain, what do you think Starmer will do, can do?
Let me tell you, then.
The state of Britain’s defence forces is such that he will do, can do nothing.
Your claim that a North Korean general was wounded in the Kursk region is regarded as “phony news” by Simplicius, on the basis that a high-ranking official would never be that close (20km) to the front line.
As a victim of ‘International’ (i.e. western) sanctions itself, I am sure the Kremlin is not particularly concerned at ostensibly breaking ‘international’ sanctions levied against North Korea.
Fortunately, WWIII has not broken out yet but Keir Starmer has repeated in interviews that it is more important to support Ukraine than fear a nuclear war. And the UK Deputy Chief of Defence Staff has said that Britain’s armed forces would be ready to meet Russia “tonight” if “the Russians invaded eastern Europe”, so there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
The few soldiers we have would undoubtedly do their best but their scale is so low they would be quickly overwhelmed.
Confirmation will be available in due course.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDEpYlPk7Ns
Meanwhile Britain has no land based ballistic missile defence, one deployable Brigade, fewer aircraft in the RAF than the U.S. Marine Corps and the self licking H.M.S. Lollipop that is two aircraft carriers defended by the rest of the Royal Navy.
“The Wall Street Journal reported this citing an anonymous Western official” … “The Wall Street Journal notes that this is the first time the west has confirmed an injury to a high-ranking North Korean military figure …”
There you go, western journalism at its best, confirming its own anonymous reports! And we do know North Korean troops regularly train at Russian bases in the east. Yawn.
Anyone doubting the presence of North Korean troops in the Kursk region is quite simply delusional
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQ-AH08O0c
Not exactly an unbiased source but one hopes the story is not true, whereby the videos of North Korean troops being equipped with uniforms is old stuff from the east. What is true is that North Korea shares a joint defence agreement with Russia and so is fully authorized to defend Russian territory from invading forces. Whether such assistance is actually required is extremely doubtful: their engagement at this stage in the proceedings (the sad annihilation of Ukrainian/NATO forces in Kursk) would probably only cause confusion.
Oh yes, I recognise those trees as being definitely Kursk trees – if you look closely you can see they are all stamped “Курская область”, and if you cut them down they have “Курск” running all the way through.
I am sorry I can take nothing you say on this topic as anything other than “dumheter”.(Swedish to avoid possible censorship).
Putin has been robbed.
‘Regarding comments that the North Korean soldiers seen in recent footage appear young and physically small, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun told lawmakers at a National Assembly hearing on Thursday that although the South Korean government has said these troops are part of an elite unit known as the “Storm Corps,” that are “limits to verifying whether they are actually elite forces or merely ordinary soldiers wearing different uniforms.”
Military officials believe North Korea’s decision to send inexperienced soldiers may be an attempt to minimize losses to North Korea’s core military force while still gaining benefits from Russia as the two nations strengthen military cooperation.’
“BBC admits it lied about vanishing polar bears”
That’s quite big, as they are admitting that the maligned Susan Crockford is right, and the “polar bear establishment” is wrong.
Strangely absent from this round up is to me the single biggest story of the moment: the stare down between the UK/US and Russia which, if it goes wrong, will plunge us into WWIII.
We are one missile strike on Russia away from an out of control escalation. The Russians will respond and it will be a Pearl Harbour moment.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are those in the US/UK establishment that want that and are clearly pushing for it. The big question is whether they will get their way or will be stopped.
I don’t think I am a dramatic person but I am terrified. I am sensing a COVID moment and by that I mean that we are led by dangerous, reckless, stupid people who have demonstrated that they will make crazy destructive decisions, like they did with the entire COVID response, and I have no faith they won’t do something stupid and reckless and destructive again. In fact, I very much fear they will unless they can be stopped.
I think you have got this the wrong way round.
As I point out above, and previously, Russia has already made attacks on British soil, in Salisbury in 2018 and, more recently, in East London.
You are quite right to be scared, because, as you mention, the same stupid people who wanted more lockdown faster are now refusing to do anything about the parlous state of this country’s defences.
That is mirrored within Brtain’s defence industry. Nearly 25% of the UK’s defence spend now benefits American factories.
This decline has meant it is probably unlikely UK industry has the capability to design a new main battle tank within a reasonable timeframe.
The UK has also lost the ability to build any more Hawks and hence the training platform for Typhoon and any future fighter. It is possible future orders could be built in India, but this does little for manufacturing in the UK and the UK will lose sovereign capability in this area.
RUSI also found, within the UK, ‘in fields where orders are few and far between and entry costs for would-be suppliers are very high, the effect of competition has been to destroy the supply base. The firms that lost a competition could not afford to maintain the relevant capability until the next opportunity so left the defence sector …’
Those who talk disparagingly about Britain’s supposed ‘military/industrial complex’ should turn their eyes overseas, for that is where any such ‘complex’ is located, and it ain’t British.
If Putin attacks us with ballistic missiles, we can do nothing. If those missiles have nuclear warheads, you are correct.
We are fecked.
So … stop provoking a nuclear war! Cease operating Storm Shadows in Ukraine. Talk to Putin – it is called diplomacy.
Wrong answer.
giving in to aggressors has never worked.
Stop being so silly
But who is the aggressor? USA/NATO, who have been building Ukraine up militarily since 2014 (why?), Ukraine for its ethnic cleansing in eastern Ukraine, or Russia for not wanting NATO missiles placed along its 2,000km border to Ukraine?
“Those who talk disparagingly about Britain’s supposed ‘military/industrial complex’ should turn their eyes overseas, for that is where any such ‘complex’ is located, and it ain’t British.”…
Yes there is significant arms manufacturing carried out “overseas”, primarily in the US, but stop dreaming that it doesn’t occur in Britain…The Storm Shadow is a Franco – British affair fgs…
The UK won defence orders worth 12 billion in 2022.

But in many ways, we aren’t too different from the United States. Although it has become commonplace for retired UK military personnel to bemoan the reduction of defence spending in Britain, it is worth remembering that we are still the world’s sixth-largest military spender, with an annual budget of around £37 billion. We are also one of the world’s leading arms exporters (and not particularly concerned with how our equipment is used), and our political leaders are far from squeamish about using military force when they deem it necessary – even if a million people march against it. In this sense, for a small island nation facing no immediate conventional threats, we are indeed “punching above our weight.”
Stop posting absolute bollox Monro… “Britain’s supposed Military Industrial Complex”
Since the 1960s, the number of major European defence firms has contracted by between 29% and 80% across sub sectors, implying the loss of a range of capabilities.
In terms of Gross Domestic Product UK defence spending was 7 percent GDP in 1959 at a time when deterrence towards the USSR was similar to that required to deter Putin today. Defence spending declined to 2.85 percent of GDP in 2000.
From 2002 to 2009 defence spending was constant at about 2.65-2.70 percent GDP.
Since then, defence spending been in steady decline, breaking below 2.4 percent GDP in 2016.
For the year ending March 2024 defence spending was 2.3 percent GDP.
Helsinki Accord 1975 (to which Russia is party, as successor state to USSR)
‘Within the framework of international law, all the participating States have equal rights and duties.
They will respect each other’s right to define and conduct as it wishes its relations with other States in accordance with international law and in the spirit of the present
Declaration.
They consider that their frontiers can be changed, in accordance with
international law, by peaceful means and by agreement.
They also have the right to belong or
not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or
multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance; they
also have the right to neutrality.’
So, essentially, Britain’s response to a ballistic missile attack from Russia, directed by Putin, will be to shout ‘He’s not the messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!’
That should bring him to the negotiating table……or not really….

If Britain attacks Russia, or aids Ukraine in attacking Russia, then Britain should expect a military response from Russia. If Britain does neither then we live happily in peace. And then we should continue to provide the world’s best comedians instead of all this belligerent posturing.
If anyone attacked Ukraine, they should have expected this country to provide Ukraine with assistance, most particularly if they were themselves a signatory of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum:
‘The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
Welcoming the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a non nuclear-weapon State,
Taking into account the commitment of Ukraine to eliminate all nuclear weapons from its territory within a specified period of time
The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment….to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression’
Budapest Memorandum 1994
The signatories to the 1994 Budapest treaty were only required to provide assistance to Ukraine if nuclear weapons were used against it.
The four signatories were Ukraine, Russia, UK and USA. They agreed primarily:
“to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine”,
“that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations”,
“to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest …”,
to “consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these commitments”.
There is also the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation (https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume 3007/v3007.pdf, English translation from page 147):
Article 1:
The High Contracting Parties, as friendly, equal and sovereign States, shall base their relations on mutual respect and confidence, strategic partnership and cooperation.
Article 4:
The High Contracting Parties believe that good-neighbourliness and cooperation between them are important factors in improving stability and security in Europe and the whole world. They shall engage in close cooperation with a view to strengthening international peace and security. They shall take the necessary measures to promote general disarmament, the creation and consolidation of a system of collective security in Europe, and the strengthening of the peacekeeping role of the United Nations and the improvement of the effectiveness of regional security mechanisms.
The Parties shall endeavour to ensure that all controversial issues are settled exclusively by peaceful means and shall cooperate in preventing and settling conflicts and situations that affect their interests.
Article 6:
Each High Contracting Party shall refrain from participating in, or supporting, any actions directed against the other High Contracting Party, and shall not conclude any treaties with third countries against the other Party. Neither Party shall allow its territory to be used to the detriment of the security of the other Party.
Article 12:
The High Contracting Parties shall protect the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity of ethnic minorities in their territory and shall create conditions that encourage such diversity.
Each High Contracting Party shall guarantee the right of persons belonging to ethnic minorities, individually or together with other persons belonging to ethnic minorities, freely to express, preserve and develop their ethnic, cultural, linguistic or religious diversity and promote and develop their culture without being subjected to any attempts to assimilate them against their will …
Article 40:
This Treaty is concluded for a period of 10 years. It shall subsequently be extended automatically for further 10-year periods unless one of the High Contracting Parties notifies the other High Contracting Party in writing of its desire to terminate it at least six months before the expiry of the current 10-year period.
I presume the treaty has by now been terminated, which is a shame. Treaties are good things if people stick to them.

II. Refraining from the threat or use of force
Yes, “respect the independence”: and the Maidan Coup? Very independent. But there is no sense in trying to link sadly outdated treaties with today’s world. The past is the past. The 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation had a lot more to say on the relationship between the two countries.
‘Refraining from the threat or use of force
The participating States will refrain in their mutual relations, as well as in their
international relations in general, from the threat or use of force against the territorial
integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the
purposes of the United Nations and with the present Declaration. No consideration may be
invoked to serve to warrant resort to the threat or use of force in contravention of this
principle.
Accordingly, the participating States will refrain from any acts constituting a threat of
force or direct or indirect use of force against another participating State’
Feel free to print out the whole treaty. What does it change?
When all else fails… Go to war….
And it’s failed – Fiat is over, debt mountain unsustainable, the whole house of cards is as fragile as ever…
Britain gave Ukraine security assurances in 1994 in return for the surrender of Ukrainian nuclear warheads.
We are, not quite, living up to our obligations.
Nevertheless, as we now clearly see, our 1994 assurances saved Europe from what would, by now, undoubtedly be a nuclear war.
Putin, on the other hand, has, by his foolhardy aggression, encouraged Ukraine to develop its own ballistic missile system.
Ukraine will, shortly, once again, possess its own nuclear warheads.
How much money do you suppose migrants get spent on them for cigarettes and vapes? I’ll bet every single one of these men smoke because they’re not personally having to pay. And what’s the betting they’ve mobile phones but no I.D documents? Maybe all the women and kids are indoors…
People saying how lovely this venue was before the Home Office took it over and used it for migrants. Kids can no longer play in the nearby play area;
”With 200,000 illegal migrants have entered Britain in the last few years, they cost us £5 billion a year. I think it is only fair to see how our hard working taxes are spent.
This is Thorpe Meadows in Peterborough where 146 illegal migrants reside with full central heating.”
https://x.com/DaveAtherton20/status/1859667557462180139
I think if women who work at these migrant hotels are being issued with rape alarms and having to be chaperoned by male staff then that tells me 1) It should be male-only staff working there in the first place and 2) This just highlights the fact the clear and present dangers are known by the authorities and these men have not been appropriately vetted. Does this not say everything about the obvious cultural differences as well??
”Leilani tells us that female staff at the Marriott Hotel in Warwick have been issued with r*pe alarms. At Westerfield in Essex women are shadowed by security guards as the illegal migrants are “leer at them & make disgusting noises/gestures.”
TB a 3rd world disease is rampant a follower tells me.
“Hi David, thank you for the excellent reporting!
“Firstly at Westerfield we all know TB is rampant there but they have been sneaking in nurses over the fields at night so as not to scare the locals.
“Female staff at the camp are subject to being leered at & make disgusting noises/gestures. The other day a TB positive migrant refused to take his medicine so they had no choice but to isolate him.
“He moaned & carried on about not having a TV, being on his own & next thing, the police, social services AND a rep from Home Office showed up to discuss his human rights!
“I’ve personally witnessed groups of men walking in to the TK Maxx and M&S at Braintree Village & stealing clothes & entire rows of meat from the shelves.
“M&S must lose thousands of pounds a day. I was also in Sainsbury’s in Braintree town centre & saw a bunch of men leering at one of the young girls working in the store (she can only have been 17 or 18).
“Women are scared to walk around Braintree town centre & all we see now are groups of 6 to 8 men walking around being intimidating.
“I understand they wish to put more men at Wethersfield & this really scares the locals. Our lovely Essex villages are being destroyed & I am even to scared to walk my dog alone.
“If there is anything you can do to shed some light on this, we would be grateful.
“Thank you.”

”I live here also. We had an unexplained “sexual assault” that required two days of police forensic vans parked outside a house, but strangely never even made the local news. I used to take my horse out in the winter evenings with a head lamp – no way will I do that now!”
”I live near Gt Yeldham and can confirm that local crime has soared in the past 6 months.
They’re increasing the number of Wethersfield holiday makers from 500 to 800, so that bodes well.”
I am not sure younger men would be any safer without a protection officer.
Yes, quite. Because if these men have no I.D documentation which enables officials to do a background check this means they are an unknown quantity and staff should err on the side of caution by default as a precaution. And if women were working at these places when they were normal hotels prior to being taken over then I think it’s advisable that they leave and seek employment elsewhere. It’s demonstrably not safe. Lest we forget this recent example that even if precautions are taken within the venue some determined psychopathic migrant can easily follow a staff member out, as they appear to have no restrictions and can come and go as they please, by all accounts. Notice that this MSM article makes no mention of the fact this lady worked at the migrant hotel where her killer happened to reside. They infer it was just some random and unfortunate ”wrong time, wrong place” type of incident;
”A teenager accused of murdering a 27-year-old woman at a railway station has refused to appear for his first crown court hearing.
Deng Chol Majek, 18, is charged with the murder of Rhiannon Skye Whyte, who was stabbed at Bescot Stadium station in Walsall, West Midlands, last month.
Chol Majek was expected to enter his pleas during an appearance at Wolverhampton Crown Court via video link from HMP Manchester today, but he refused to attend the hearing.
Charlie Crinion, defending the South Sudanese, said the teenager had refused to speak to him through an interpreter before the hearing because he did not know who he was.
Judge Michael Chambers KC said he would proceed with the case as if the defendant would be contesting the charges.”

Yet another account from Braintree. You watch, there’ll be a serious crime takes place over there and expect another mass cover-up. It’s only a matter of time. They’re emboldened by the fact they know the risk of them being deported is miniscule to nil. Their own human rights lawyers assure them of this;
“Regarding your post on Braintree in Essex, it’s all over David, I caught a bus the other night, an African migrant was stood in the bus station, standing over a young girl aged about 14 or 15, waiting for a bus.
“Far too close. I know she felt it also, she got on the phone to her mum, I was stood near by. I know another man noticed him too because he left the queue & turned round to watch him.
“Then he moved further away, the girls mum told her to go to taxi rank & get a taxi. This girl should have felt safe getting a bus home, this country is becoming unsafe for women & children.
“It’s in every town & village now. Our children are no longer safe.”
https://x.com/DaveAtherton20/status/1860021342906589536
Especially as there has apparently been a big rise in illegals claiming to be gay.
Well I hope they are sticking to the prescribed 18C to save the planet. But I’m betting not.
When my mother was dying, we had to muddle on as best we could – the GP wouldn’t come out to see us and the twice daily care workers who visited to attend to her weren’t authorised to instruct us and they varied in what they thought we should be doing for her anyway – I think some were unaware she was dying. We just had to do the best we could with googling on the internet about care for the dying. It made an already very difficult time much worse for us and her. I can’t read Camilla Tominey’s piece about hospice care due to the paywall but assume she makes the point about marvellous hospice care for the dying. This is just to point out that hospice care is only for people with cancer and a few other diseases like MS, AIDs and Motor Neurone Disease. If you’re dying of anything else, there is no hospice care. To be fair to her, she might cover this in the article. This whole area of care for the dying desperately needs a re-think and has done for a good long while but if hospice care is to be funded by the state (and they do get some state funding) then perhaps those dying of old age/other diseases should also be offered the same level of care.
No decent person goes on like this do they? Harassing neighbours and trying to gain entry to their property. Nobody with good intentions, anyway;
”You may have seem my post on the destruction of the community around Wethersfield the former RAF base, housing illegal migrants. They are harassing & intimidating the locals & some are stealing from shops.
Here is one roaming the streets making a nuisance of himself.”

I think as far as Essex police are concerned Allison Pearson’s old tweets are more important;
“Hi David, I live in the next village over, I can confirm these men are destroying our peaceful way of life.
“My daughter isn’t allowed to walk to school or home by herself, even though it is only a 5 minute walk because she has to take 2 alleyways.
“Our children’s playgrounds, that I used to let my kids go to alone with other children from the village all the time, are basically unusable now.
“Braintree town centre is rife with these men also. Sainsbury’s, Tesco & other supermarkets have been targeted. I used to love living here, never feared once for my safety, now I won’t go out after dark & my adult sons have to keep in constant contact with me.
“My son was followed in a van after leaving the park & they tried to corner him in a dead end road, thankfully there is an alley. He ran straight home and was crying because he thought he was going to be kidnapped.
“I asked his friends mums to bring them over as I called the police. They said there were men in park filming all the children. After my son left, the men got in a van and drove off. The police told my son he was over reacting and it was probably just a delivery driver who was lost & needed directions.
“That they probably weren’t the same van & made him feel like he had wasted their time. Low and behold, 3 days later, 2 villages over in Great Yeldham, men in a van tried to approach a young boy waiting at the bus stop by himself.
“The ring doorbell footage showed the van & one of the men, my son identified both. No one was ever caught.
“Knives are being found on children in the secondary school that they take “for protection” we live in a cluster of villages, crime was never a problem 10 years ago.
“It would shock all the locals if a crime was committed. I, along with many other, do not recognise our villages anymore.”
Alison needs to sue Essex police for a very large sum, heads should roll for this, and further up the chain of command right through to Yvette Cooper needs to be investigated.
Was this a Witch hunt by the state against a journalist who represents a Non Labour.Communist way of life and Government?. For the sake of wider society and the protection of free speech and thought a case needs to be brought, I am sure Mr Musk would support, such that this oppression by State Actors is stopped once and for all.
I post this here again as Tim Spector’s piece is mentioned:
I listened to Tim Spector interview on the Covid pandemic 5 years on.
A limited hangout if I ever heard one:

It certainly seems to have been too much for John ‘Two Jags’ Prescott.
“Making it a crime for the Jews to defend themselves”
Let’s have a look at this ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, yet another Pakistani Muslim (there’s that same country again, Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan…), whose brother Imran Nasir Ahmad Khan was “expelled from the Conservative party following his criminal conviction for child sexual assault in 2022”. “Imran Ahmad Khan [former MP for Wakefield] was part of a panel advising on grooming gangs and contributed to a paper called ‘Group-based child sexual exploitation characteristics of offending’ while police were investigating him for child sexual abuse.”
And who appointed Karim Khan to head the ICC? “The United Kingdom”, says the blurb. And who was the Prime Minister in 2021? Boris Johnson. And who was the Home Secretary? Priti Patel.
Out of all the lawyers in Britain, those two chose a Pakistani Muslim to nominate to lead the International Criminal Court. Why?
“Karim Khan himself faced accusations in October 2024 of groping a female aide, following a whistleblower report. Anonymous sources close to the alleged victim reportedly claimed that she distrusted the court’s watchdog and requested an external probe to investigate the case.”
Thanks in part to the efforts of the Red Cross 46 civilians who were kidnapped by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk pocket some months ago and forcibly removed to Ukraine have been returned to Russia.
