The Free Speech Union has written to the Equality and Human Rights Commission urging the watchdog to investigate Nottingham University after it withdrew its offer of an honorary degree to Dr. Tony Sewell following criticism of his report on racial and ethnic disparities which concluded that Britain was not institutionally racist. The FSU believes Nottingham may be guilty of racial discrimination, punishing Dr. Sewell for not holding the ‘correct’ progressive views that it thinks black people ought to hold. The Mail on Sunday‘s Whitehall Correspondent, Georgia Edkins, has more.
The University said it was not appropriate to award the degree while Dr. Sewell was at the centre of a ‘political controversy’.
Yesterday, speaking about the fallout from last year’s 258-page report for the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, the 63 year-old, who already holds a PhD from Nottingham, said: “Nobody was reading the recommendations.
“They just wanted to know if we were talking about issues to do with white privilege or institutional racism. Were you on side for this or not? That’s all they wanted to know. And if you were not, then you were cancelled.”
Following the Government’s decision last week to accept a number of his recommendations, he said he felt vindicated.
But now Free Speech Union chief Toby Young has written to both the University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Shearer West, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The correspondence, seen by the Mail on Sunday, suggests that Dr. Sewell, who runs a charity helping black children get into higher education, had been sidelined as he “voiced views which, in the minds of some, black people ought not to hold”.
Mr. Young pointed to a number of people given honorary degrees by Nottingham despite being mired in controversy.
They included King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand – “despite his alleged collusion with far-Right militias” – Liu Xiaoming, China’s former UK ambassador who “dismissed reports of Uighur camps as fake news”, and ex-Malaysian prime minister and convicted money launderer Najib Razak.

Unfortunately when adults go mad children suffer. When I mention this to the believers they look shocked that I think their behaviour is responsible for the most awful of outcomes, the death and neglect of children.
Many people don’t know how poor people live, they stay well away from inner city areas. They were only thinking about making lockdown bread and being pleased do be off the rat race!
I’ve said before that if during the main lockdowns I’d been living in the high rise flat I lived in when my children were small, I do not think any of us would have survived.
Easy to support lockdown when you have “just made it out of London” to your second home, complete with garden and lots of plebs to bring you things.
It isn’t the City phenomenon. It’s the breakdown of family and community. Every country that has created big State bureaucracies end up with poverty in Cities and Towns with villages being isolated. They create the breakdown of communities in their drive to control every aspect of our lives.
If one looks back on one’s own childhood, especially early childhood, and then pictures one’s parents picking their stupid phones all the time, it’s not a pleasant thought.
I suspect they don’t give a flying fuck fuck about children, they are only interested in where their next death jab is coming from
It’s amazingly even-handed (if a tad forgetful) of the Grauniad to print such a sad story, since their unwavering enthusiasm for lockdowns and Stasi-like restrictions on societal freedoms seems to persist even now.
Perhaps they haven’t quite got a grasp on action and consequence over at Lefty Towers?
Lefty Towers believe the state is the answer to everything. The heavier and more crushing the state response, the better. Lockdowns and mask mandates are heaven for these people.
As with their preferred state of communism, of course. Freedom is intrinsically wrong and immoral, except for the few at the top of the Politburo, of course. The plebs are ignorant and need to be supressed
They approve of lockdown but pretend the results of lockdown don’t follow from lockdown
Logic has never been the Left’s strong point
Well, quite. It is not like this wasn’t an obvious consequence of the lockdowns – as foreseen by those here and elsewhere (and those pointing it out being castigated as granny killers by the lefty types).

As a parent and teacher I couldn’t agree with you more; the behaviour of the general public over the past two years is just as sickening, selfish and warped as the criminals behind it. the banality of evil in action.
I am not a teacher, but I am a parent and grandparent.
I have absolutely no desire to see any of my family jabbed with any of these unlicensed products to “protect” me, or my 89 year old mother.
As you say, it is nothing other than evil.

vulnerable children “slipped from view” during the pandemic
Just the pandemic then. Nothing to do with lockdowns, civil servants staying at home, and all the rest of the hysteria?
It’s always the fault of “The Pandemic” or “Covid” and never caused by “Vicious and damaging government over-reaction”.
Or the fault of the parents, yes the Local Authorities unquestioning adherence to lockdown played its part but the social workers’ positive bias toward the parents allowed them to kill him and they caused his death.
As our fortunately-no-longer-chancellor would have said, it was “alternativlos” (the motto of every aspiring dictator).
slipped is quite neutral too
“pushed” to maximise bureaucrat convenience is my take.
Basically, all the people who should be giving a fuck, not giving a fuck.
Or the victimisation of those of us who were not hysterical and warned of all the collateral consequences, but were howled down by the pro lockdown mob and media (who are still at it, by the way – just listen to Stephen Nolan on Radio 5 – he becomes incandescent whenever a listener suggests anything other than more restrictions, lockdown, etc)

The people still invested in Covid – the majority – have essentially become part of a Covid Cult. Something we can all agree on 100 percent is that there is absolutely no justification for what our governments are doing. Massive crimes and acts of war are being committed by treasonous governments in the name of something which is at worst no more deadly than the common flu, if “it” even exists in reality at all which has not been proven or validated. The point is that the people in the Covid Cult believe there is justification for all this no matter which way you pitch it to them. So how do we undo that and help people back to a reason based disposition. Brit Marc Malone has some of the answers to this. In this video he lays it all out so we can understand our dilemma and then use that knowledge to reverse the process.

This also links into what Yuri Bezmenov revealed decades ago when he defected from the USSR and shared the tactics used by the Soviet state to brainwash and manipulate people. We are warned about all this years ago, but because people dont want to be seen as “conspiracy theorists” they shut down conversation about the real issues they face even when the evidence is right there on a plate. A blatant trick they use is to create a mindset where the truth they dont want you to know becomes the most stigmatised thing out there, to deflect people from asking reasonable questions about what their government is doing and why – for example in the UK, we have a genuine issue of influence over our political arena by Israel – what exactly is the role of the Friends of Israel who most of our politicians swear allegiance to – is this a UK version of the system in the US where those in Congress have to or had to sign a pledge to Israel which former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney blew the whistle on – but youre not allowed to ask that because its antisemitic. Thats how they get you, by stigmatising legitimate enquiry and framing it as offensive.

Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov explains a lot in this interview – the concept of the useful idiot – the UKs political arena could not be more full of useful idiots if it tried – it is after all “The Westminster Useful Idiot Farm” – and also the steps they use to brainwash a nation in the long term – demoralisation – destablisation – crisis – normalisation. This ties in very well with the Marc Malone info. Its all very relevant to what we are going through now.

The abuse of children is horrific.
However, this is a red herring. The state has abused ALL children with mandatory masking in schools, ridiculous social distancing rules and the general psychological torture of their fear campaigns. Now they are abusing them with jabs they don’t need that have no long term safety record and very clear immediate short term risks.
Yes, when parents neglect and abuse their children it is awful. But the state is far worse and this relentless obsession to get the state to prevent bad things happening is not a solution. Ensuring very serious consequences for parents who commit crimes against their children should be the beginning and end of the state’s intervention in family life.

Great post
Slightly off-topic, but I have just heard that the husband of a friend of my wife’s, who is in his mid-30s, very nice guy, previously healthy as far as I am aware, had a serious cardiac episode a few weeks ago which has left him needing a heart operation, and currently unable to work or drive. To top it all off they have a new-born baby and he has just had covid! No one seems to have even considered that these cardiac problems might be linked to the covid jabs and my wife was quite irritated when I gently mentioned it just now… It is of course possible that the two things are unrelated but why are they not at least looking into it? I am not sure if I am more shocked by this terrible and sudden decline in this young man’s health or the complete sense of denial about what (at least might have) caused it.
It’s surprising how common rare heart disease is in the young healthy.
Do you mean ‘extremely rare’
Now ‘rare’ must must always be prefaced with ‘extremely’
Get with the programme
I know only one person who caught covid. She recovered. I know of at least three cases of bells palsy and one of a 30 year old marathon runner who suffered a stroke and is left with a debilitating heart condition. She’s a healthcare professional and an academic, and to my knowledge has not made the association between her condition and the jabs.
Even the people who are suffering these life altering, post clotshot illnesses are largely in denial.
Eric Clapton has well documented evidence the clotshots were to blame for the conditions he suffered, but has lost many friends for going public and denouncing this assault on humanity.
My brother, a runner of marathons, with no previous health issues, was diagnosed with liver cancer not long after being double jabbed. A similarly healthy friend has been struck down with a pancreatic condition. But I don’t know anyone who has had more than a mild case of Covid…..
Was he double jabbed?
Yes.
I know someone. AZ jab. Headaches followed by thrombosis in the leg, almost lost it. Permanently disabled.
No connection made until I mentioned it. Still doubts there is a connection.
As a retired social worker, I have been saying this from the beginning and was entirely predictable. How many other victims will come to light? Politicians are entirely responsible as they never think of unintended consequences of actions. Something in everyone’s life has been diminished over the last 20 months and the sacrifice of young children’s lives is one of the biggest stains from our parliaments obsession with Covid alone. No good belatedly expressing their horror and shock.
Off topic, someone who might be in the know has indicated to me that in the near future there will be a government announcement in regards to compulsory jabs in the UK. How do you like them apples?
Will it end up like the poll tax?
Its a phrase I’ve been using quite a lot ever since this charade start and that is they can F.O.A.D. I’m not taking it.
Ask the Aborigines of Australia’s Northern Territory if saying F.O.A.D. worked when they got carted away to the ‘Centre for National Resilience’. How many of them have now been jabbed in that ‘re-education’ camp?
Me neither.
This was posted by Kate, yesterday. I hope she doesn’t mind me re-posting it:
From Telegram:
From Germany: [21.11.2021 08:15] Dear friends,
I think it was a shock for many of us when the news of compulsory vaccination came today from our neighbouring country Austria.
Of course, it was clear to everyone that this was the perfect plan for Germany, and as was to be expected, our beloved Södolf also jumped on this bandwagon and demanded mandatory vaccination in our country as well, just minutes after the announcement.
But after the first short shock, when the brain can think clearly again, one thing struck me….
Why on earth does this compulsory vaccination only start on 1 February 2022????
If these tyrants are already planning to implement it, there is nothing in the world that can stop them from doing it tomorrow. No one could stop them anyway. But then why wait so long?
There is only one logical explanation to this question. The psychological pressure on the population will be massively intensified during these two and a half months. In other words, the masses of hitherto indomitable vaccine opponents will be forced to run “voluntarily” into the syringe. But why is this “voluntarism” so important to you?
The answer is very simple. As long as a person does something “voluntarily,” he bears the responsibility and liability for it. The second it really happens by official state coercion, the one who issued the order bears the legal responsibility. Legally, this is an incredibly big difference and, in the light of the possible threat of Nuremberg Trials 2.0, possibly life-changing.
So whether this compulsory vaccination actually comes to Austria in February or not, God knows. The tyrants, however, are only interested in forcing as many people as possible to be injected without responsibility.
We are in the endgame and it is only a matter of holding out until the whole sham collapses. Which will undoubtedly happen because the combination of “vaccine breakthrough” and vaccine damage can no longer be kept secret, and even the lying and corrupt mass media will no longer help. With this knowledge in mind, the criminal elites have no choice but to go full throttle. Hang in there and don’t give up is the motto now! It’s them who are running out of time, not us…
Please share this text everywhere, because ignorance and panic among the population are the elites’ most powerful weapons. We have backbone and perseverance. If we stand firm and do not give in, this entire criminal system will fall globally. And it should have been done a long time ago.
someone will get jabbed if they try it.
I’ll have a hundred shekels with you that they don’t.
The BBC is a name synonymous with child abuse – they kept Jimmy SaVile in favour and employment for example, and now they are running adverts to persuade “New Normal” children that having heart attacks is not unusual, even amoung the young. You could fill a library with research into the BBC and child abuse. This reminded me of this clip exposing the Chair of BBCs Children In Need Rosie Millards views on conducting illegal unnecessary and highly dangerous gene therapy medical experiments on children in response to what was publicly declared as a low mortality rate virus by Gov.UK.

Absolute versus Relative Risk Revisited Norman Fenton
This explanation of absolute v relative risk focuses on the medical context and covers the notion of treatment (including vaccine) EFFECTIVENESS which is normally defined using relative rather than absolute risk measures. But it also covers the notino of individual (personal) risk. Apologies for interchanging ‘cholorectal’ with ‘colon’ in one of the examples.
The banality of evil is reinforced by the banality of ignorance. Children left at home uneducated will be probably be joined in ten years time by those who suffer growth and fertility problems because of the entirely unknown effects of spike proteins and other nanosubstances on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
Even if probably is replaced by possibly, those risks are being wilfully taken by a psychopathic government and reckless parents.
The teaching unions and the lockdown fanatics have blood on their hands.
And others, the children’s welfare services just weren’t there at a time when it should have obvious they would be needed more than ever
Like everything else in this country our social services is as incompetent as the rest of the Establishment. They are not interested in doing the job they are paid to do. The whole country has gone down the tubes! Time to sack the lot of them and let them reapply for their jobs.
In a lot of cases, we could scrap the jobs.
We are suffering from engineered destruction of our society – not incompetence. If you watch the Yuri Bezmenov interview I posted above, you will have a clearer understanding of this.
Well if the life of one octogenarian has been saved then it’s been worth it. (2 years ago I would of regarded this comment as sick, but 2 years on the whole thing is sick).

We wrote to every single children’s charity and not a single one replied. It’s been a continuous feature of this pandemic that people who should have spoken up for children, and in many cases are paid to speak up, have not done so
How about the next protests targeting these charities?
A very left wing friend of mine messaged about poor Arthur today. I just quietly said that shutting schools for a year was a catastrophe. He didn’t come back to me and that isn’t because he is short of an opinion. I really do think the penny is dropping among many on the left…
Just imagine how much worse it would be if the disease actually affected kids. There would be “Think of the children!” on the news every day and not just in DS articles intended to provoke hysteria among its loyal readers.
For every child who ends up dead, there will have been hundreds, if not thousands, stuck in a house with their abusers. Talk to any responsible teacher or social worker, and there are lots of them, and they will tell you that that is what kept them awake at night during the lockdowns. And this will perpetuate through the generations. It is a catastrophe, to try and claim it is “hysteria” is ignorant beyond belief.
I dare say that social work and services have been cut and were, in many places, drastically underfunded any way. However, we come back to the old saw of people blaming “The Pandemic”, rather than the measures imposed by national and local governments.
The best-funded social services, fully manned with first-rate people, are absolutely useless if the staff are immured in their offices, and the “clients” imprisoned in their homes, with “never the twain shall meet” as the motto of the day. When the people who need a service, and the ones who should give it are kept apart by edict, it will almost always go wrong. The same applies in health, education and other areas where this is the case.
>The best-funded social services, fully manned with first-rate people,
The funding is pretty high (goes on care home “costs”, which seems odd as the properties are often poorly maintained and the staff are min wage…), but the people are not first rate…
My acquaintance, a social worker, in a discussion with me:
(me, during lockdown): “It’s so wrong what is going on with the children, they are out of schools, they miss out, and the vulnerable ones are at the most dangerous, for example they might be hungry without school meals..”
(my acquaintance): “Children are getting all the help they need!”
Palmface…
The DT headline got it right: ‘A bruise for each day of lockdown.’
If she really did say that instead of Has Led, maybe she should lurn too spel. However I’m guessing this minor but ever-increasingly encountered typo came somewhere in transmission.
THREE ABORIGINAL TEENS ARRESTED AFTER ESCAPING FROM QUARANTINE FACILITY IN AUSTRALIA
“According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the three teens from the Binjari community near Katherine, aged 15, 16 and 17, tested negative for the virus yesterday. They had been confined to quarantine for being ‘close contacts of positive cases,’ only to scale a fence and escape at 4:30 am Wednesday morning.”

I HAVE just been alerted to the Government’s new Myocarditis and pericarditis after Covid 19 vaccination: guidance for healthcare professionals, published four days ago on Monday. It makes chilling reading.
You can read it here.
First, it is a clear admission of that myocarditis is a serious post-vaccine adverse reaction risk. Second, amongst the usual and increasingly implausible disclaimers like ‘it is a rare condition’ and ‘it is usually mild or stable and most patients typically recover fully without medical treatment’, comes the terrifying admission that ‘a high percentage of children admitted to hospital with myocarditis have significant left ventricular fibrosis and no follow-up data is available yet on hospitalised patients.’
Thanks, Great information

Freddie Sayers UNherd. Howard Springs camp.
This young woman was incarcerated in the camp for two weeks and threatened with a $500 fine even though she tested negative repeatedly.
When she enquired about this she was told by the Australian CDC it was probably “punishment” for lying to the authorities about having taken a test, when she had not. She never tested positive, but was locked up for 14 days and lost her job
From Telegram:
I was speaking to a fellow human rights lawyer from Japan last night. She asked me, “are they really transporting people into detention simply for being close contacts?”
I told her that it is even worse than that – that the judgment call on whether somebody should be taken to a quarantine facility is an arbitrary one, based on loose and dangerous criteria such as whether that person is ‘likely to cause a risk’ if they aren’t locked up.
It doesn’t matter if the ‘close contact’ tests negative, even multiple times (like most of Australia’s Covid measures, it’s not actually about whether people are sick, or contagious).
There is also no defined limit to the quarantine period. In NSW, where a personalised “public health order” lasts for 14 days, a new one can be issued ad hoc at the end of that period, again and again. I have spoken to people who were in quarantine for 2 months, despite repeatedly testing negative, and despite repeatedly suggesting alternative places they could isolate. One of these people, a young Sudanese mother who I am assisting with claims for false imprisonment and racial discrimination (arbitrary criteria such as ‘likely to cause a risk’ are a giant red flag for prejudicial decisions), attempted suicide during her stay.
The increasing use of Howard Springs in the NT, and the continued building of similar camps in Victoria and Queensland implies State Governments who intend on expanding and continuing the use of these facilities.
“How are people ok with this?”, my Japanese friend asked me, “Can’t people see the danger?”
I ask myself those same questions daily…
PS – look closely at the language of the Government and media when describing the people in these camps. “Fugitives”, “escapees”, “inmates”, “wardens”. As I have said many times before; de-humanisation is incredibly dangerous and a clear sign of a sickness in our collective national consciousness.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Maybe the State should stop controlling our lives and let us create the communities we need. Small villages and towns looked after each other. Now everyone is separated and mistrustful. This is what big Bureaucratic State creates. I wish people would understand that they need each other to survive. Not some distant committee or closed shop Council.
But this is EXACTLY what is being aimed for – distrust and isolation. You can’t build back better until everything is destroyed.
How convenient having ‘covid’ to blame for inefficiency.
No one should be surprised by this report, nor by the horrific case of Arthur. From the start, it has been obvious to everyone except the rabid prop covid lockdown lobby that isolation at home was the worst thing possible for abused children and adults (not just women, I acknowledge that) , the mentally fragile, the lonely and isolated of all ages and so on. But would anyone in government or in our so called wonderful NHS have taken a blind bit of notice? You know the answer. Yet another thing to blame Vallance, Whitty, Ferguson, Sage ,Johnson and Hancock with. They should be sued until they have no money left.
