I’m not afraid to admit that the most fascinating and practically relevant part of my training at University was the dissection of the human body in anatomy classes. These days I can only attempt to dissect human psychology with a sceptical pen as scalpel. But in Sajid Javid’s resignation speech I have found a reborn but sorry passion.
Early in the speech, Mr. Javid states three times that he is not a quitter. So why now? Is it because he is not, in the grand scheme of things, really quitting but seeking his own personal ascendancy to power?
“Today is about the importance of integrity.” Interesting!
He goes on to say: “We’ve seen in great democracies what happens when divisions are entrenched, not bridged. We cannot allow that to happen here – we must bring the country together as One Nation.”
Is that the democracy that coerces its citizens into unnecessary medical interventions and pits those that have complied with the Government’s orders against those who have exercised their right to bodily autonomy? Mr. Javid’s critics have been vocal this week, reminding us all that as Health Secretary he pushed for vaccine mandates for employees during the winter as well as a Christmas lockdown. Does that really help bring the country together and what sort of democracy is that – is it what you call “great” or, in fact, no democracy at all?
“And Mr. Speaker, I will never risk losing my integrity,” he adds.
“Nothing matters more than the health of our people – especially during and in a pandemic.”
So why then did you and your cabinet colleagues not carry out a proper risk-benefit analysis with regards to lockdowns? Why did you shut off debate and ignore the risk that delayed diagnosis and treatment in the NHS might lead to much higher long-term morbidity and death? Why did you personally push for a new lockdown last winter, despite the ‘irreversible’ reopening earlier in the year following the vaccine rollout that was sold to a weary public as bringing freedom?
“So I would like this opportunity to pay tribute to all of those working in the health and care sector.”
Seriously, Mr. Javid? The health and care sector workers who lost their jobs and have been stigmatised for having the audacity to refuse to be coerced into getting vaccinated under a policy that you championed and implemented? A novel type of vaccine that has no proven health benefit for the majority of the population, does not prevent transmission and for which the pharmaceutical industry has been protected by the Government from the consequences of causing potential harm, including death?
Mr. Javid continues:
I also believe a team is only as good as its team captain and a captain is as good as his or her team… When the first stories of parties in Downing Street emerged late last year I was assured at the most senior level of my then Right Honourable Friend’s team that there had been no parties in Downing Street and no rules were broken. So I gave the benefit of the doubt, and I went on those media rounds to say that I’d had those assurances… After more stories and the Sue Gray Report, at some point we have to conclude that enough is enough.
But I suspect that you gave Boris “the benefit of the doubt” to suit your own self-interests. Until it looked like ‘the captain’ was about to fall, you continued to give him the benefit of the doubt.
“In recent years, trust in our roles has been undermined through a series of scandals.”
But what about the one unfolding in front of us now? The scandal above all scandals borne out of your Government response to Covid, of mass coercion, spin and propaganda, suppression of dissent, and defaming of those just trying to stand up for their right to personal autonomy and to disagree with the Government line?
Mr. Javid closed his speech with something along the lines of “I got into politics to do something, not to be somebody, I’m a good person and family man, and if I can continue to contribute to public life from the back benches it will be a privilege to do so”.
I did wonder whether this was a thinly-veiled leadership pitch, or at least an attempt to test the water but, at the time of writing, he has not yet declared, though it’s being reported he will on Sunday.
In his time in office he ignored all the health experts who teamed up with Dr. Rosamond Jones, the retired consultant paediatrician. They repeatedly sent him letters providing compelling evidence that healthy children did not need to be vaccinated against Covid.
Savid Javid and his colleagues propped up Boris Johnson in spite of his moral shortcomings and, seemingly, decided it was acceptable for the Prime Minister and his team to flout the lockdown rules, but not the little people. Many politicians appear to have taken us for fools and Mr. Javid’s speech is only one example of the pretence of virtue that is so common.
I have the optimism to believe that the public are beginning to unearth more accurate and reliable news from non-mainstream sources and are slowly realising that lockdowns and enforced Covid vaccinations were and are the real scandal.
Those involved in the selection of a potential Prime Minister would be unwise to put forward any candidate that had anything whatsoever to do with the Covid policy of the last two years. In one of my recent articles I suggested that Steve Baker might be one such MP and the odds for him becoming the next Prime Minister were, at that time 40-1. On Friday the odds put Sajid Javid (20-1) as eighth favourite, but Steve Baker’s odds dramatically shortened to 25-1 just one place behind, in ninth position. The latest news is that Steve Baker has dropped out but he, along with Desmond Swayne, is publicly backing Suella Braverman. Suella Braverman QC was the first MP to formally declare a leadership run and did so on an agenda of tax cutting and getting rid of “all this woke rubbish”. She is a Brexit Spartan. The latest odds put Suella Braverman in seventh place at 16-1 and Sajid Javid has slipped back to ninth at 20-1.
Whoever succeeds Johnson would be wise to understand that the only ‘virtue’ the public are likely to welcome is one that involves politicians being genuinely humble and apologetic and admit they made huge mistakes that must never be allowed to happen again.

This is the guy who was described as ‘a hunk’ by the mother of the girl who stole his baseball hat and ran off with it when they saw him sitting in a tube train in London.
In an event that was not at all staged, oh no!
Here are some interesting comments that show the state of the nation:
https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4160040-Matt-Hancock-is-gorgeous?pg=12
That mumsnet thread is a desperate indictement of the state of the UK’s womanhood.
The word I’d use to describe him has ‘un” in the middle. But it isn’t hunk.
Gorgeous? They must be joking! From first appearance I have always thought of him as a weedy, runty, little rat who thought too well of himself. Turns out pretty near reality.
Have I just dropped into a parallel universe where MumsNet isn’t what I thought it was?
He’s a fart in semi-human form.
Just bloody shameless. Also the fact that he’s carried on training for the London marathon as if that’s still his number one priority. He really is a measure of the kind of person becoming MPs these days.
The London Marathon? Thousands of jabbees legging it around Satan’s Shithole mk2 – micro clots bubbling, inflamed hearts pounding – what could possibly go wrong.
BBC: “And in today’s London Marathon a freak strain of Covid hit hundreds of runners who collapsed and died on the spot”.
You win the internet today with this comment LOL
So, Hancock speaks in favour of a tax rise! Surprise, surprise. I think you will find this hike in NI is to pay for the lockdown, rather than social care. Really, they should call it the Chris Whitty tax. If any of this money does go to the abysmal NHS, no doubt it will fund extra management and bureaucracy rather than medical care.
If any of this money does go to the abysmal NHS, no doubt it will fund extra management and bureaucracy rather than medical care.
It will also go into AI/technology, reducing the need for staff/humans. Re social care, unless they plan to increase wages to make the job of carer more attractive in order to fill the many vacancies they’ve just created (can’t see any that happening), perhaps they are looking at technological solutions for this sector too. I don’t see the health or social care sectors improving in any meaningful way, in fact, quite the opposite.
We haven’t even started to pay for the damage.
Remember that lockdown was done on QE / borrowing. A lot of the money has gone to large corporations following the closure of so many small businesses. That causes the working and the furloughed to shift their spending. All the billionaires got richer.
So, the ordinary man be he blue or white collared will now pay through the nose, become poor and the stupid sheeple will look to the governments to help them after all it was just COVID, not their fault …. welcome 1930s.
See Huxley’s Brave New World for where they want to take us ultimately.
It was highly predicatable that there would be tax rises to pay for the Covidian debacle (I would very much expect this to be the first of many – expect VAT, fuel duty and assorted others to go up too).
It was also highly predictable that they would try to spin it, and that the spinning would involve the NHS or related services as the population worships ‘our NHS’.
Quite right. The fuss about social care is a smoke screen to divert attention from the fact that we are being made to pay for the damage caused by the government wrecking the economy, the NHS, education, and the general well being of the nation.
The very least he deserves is a prison cell with a one way door.
However, unlike with Covid other more effective and much cheaper “treatment” options are available.

Tip of the iceberg and they are just examples of short term effects.
You’d be doing us all a favour if you listed these regularly here. I too have been noticing an unusual number of reports of young apparently healthy people dying suddenly.
I hope he suffers continual derision and ridicule until the vile self-absorbed piece of shit discovers that he has zero admirable qualities and is about as honourable a politician as Joseph Goebbels. Then I hope he gets prosecuted and rots in jail.
Is the woman in the photo Bellatrix Lestrange? Looks like her.
He was a complete “a” to the public so why would he be any different to his family. Basically, he is a complete “a” and he’s not alone in Westminster.
One thing COVID has taught me is that decent MPs are a minority.
The same the world over, we are cursed with mediocrities in positions of power everywhere.
“Worth reading in full”? I doubt it
Meanwhile, we have the latest crisis : the shortage of blood vials.
I’m sure this has no connection to the Covid debacle and all the testing and general disruption of normal service!
Yes – couldn’t agree more that this gossip is as usual distracting from serious stuff – the vials are one thing – as per another comment – the euphemism that social care will be integrated etc. Is about no more social care but rather AI care via virtual ‘doctors’ etc. This is the end game – btw if you’re gonna go the gossip route – the ex is an adult – life is fucked – long Covid? If it didn’t exist she would have it anyway after being married to that tosser
People laughing at him will be the least of his worries. Judging by the mood out there. My ‘business cards’ arrived today. The bad news (for the globalists, their lackeys and collaborators) is that there’s a *real* hunger for an alternative narrative. The ‘hits’ on my website today have been huge… simply after handing out a few cards to willing (mask-free) pissed off employees and members of the public. Old school meets hi-tech. The truth will always succeed over the lies. FIGHT. BACK. BETTER. https://www.LCAHub.org/
Pity the same MPs didnt ridicule and deride him when he was trampling all over their constituents. Wimps.
That would require them to represent their constituents and actually do the job they’re paid to do. Unfortunately, we don’t live in times when democracy operates in the UK, and politicians do not represent their constituents – rather they repress their constituents using a technocratic system to navigate towards full-blown communism akin to what you see in China today.
Their ridicule of Hancock is something we’ll be seeing a lot more of in public when they fully implement the Chinese communist social credit score system.
They laughed, booed and mocked him because he was the whipping boy for their stage show. He undoubtedly feels like gutter-dwelling shit watching from the side-lines as Ferguson continues to glow in the BBC limelight, enjoying his secure cushy job as a SAGE ‘adviser’.
He must feel gnawingly envious watching as Ferguson continues to perpetuate the biggest myth in a century that there is a global medical emergency under the name of covid-19, and watching in agony as Ferguson is treated as an important person despite having actually committed the fake crime feigned by Hancock and his aide.
Because, let’s not kid ourselves; Hancock didn’t resign because of a marital disgrace at the relative climax of this government’s and their collaborative media’s effort to diminish the value of marriage between man and woman. Nor because this affair was happening in his taxpayer-funded office during taxpayer-funded time – perfectly caught on a ‘secret’ camera fitted in a perfect location and timed to record at a perfect time in clear definition.
It was undoubtedly staged to cover for the fact he got too cocky and took credit on video (viewable here) for ordering hospitals to remove ‘bed-blocker’ patients over 65 years old from hospitals within 2 hours, into care homes, and got them on a new ‘treatment’ of Midazolam.
This killed thousands of people with, as the politicians and Dr Evans would describe as a “good death”. The deaths of these poor people was used as the catalyst of the first lockdown and the springboard to the ongoing madness we’ve endured since.
There has been no ‘medical emergency’, only murder and illusion of psy-ops.
We’re closing in on the point where working becomes a mug’s game.
And perhaps that is the point.
Only c**ts and horses work…
I don’t buy the poor ex-wife story.
Who knows what happened at the Hancock household.
We know Hancock is a bit of a psycho but maybe the wife was a psycho too and drove him away.
I don’t really give a sh*t, but find the automatic “poor wifey” narrative annoying.
The future history books will not look kindly on the likes of these revolting reptiles, esp criminal lying shapeshifting scum Hancock and Zahawi.
While I don’t really believe in Icke’s theories, they do make a very nice mental model for thinking of these guys. The German health minister (Jens Spahn) would be another prime example of something which just comes accross as if it was a shapeshifting reptiloid.

What a low-life, what a weasly little runt.
We had a far better class of MP back before they destroyed the Grammar schools; many ex-Grammar school pupils rose to the lofty heights of government with the advantage of a good academic state education, people from all levels of society had a chance to rise above their backgrounds, whether rich or poor. That was true equality of opportunity….and the Labour party destroyed those opportunities.
Today, our parliament is stuffed with ex public-schoolboys, and now we understand why they did it. Can’t have the Great Unwashed in the halls of power speaking for the working man. He would be far less agreeable to an audacious plot to subvert the democratic process and enslave the people.
The justification for comprehensives is a pretty disgusting peace of equalitist bullshit: It’s claimed that forcing the more talented kids to go to the same kind of schools as the less talented one would improve the overall outcome despite it’s demonstrably bad for said more talented kids themselves. With overall outcome, they mean average grades, a statistical fiction which doesn’t exist in the real world.
In plain English, this roughly means the talented kids will come out less well as they could have had, had they been supported properly. The less talented will come out as bad as they had come out, anyway. But averaging the grades of both increases the average (and presumably, makes it look better in reports).
