This idiot should be sacked.
The entire Met Organisation is rotten to the core, beyond reform and should be torn apart and replaced.
Ooh, let’s have a Middlesex Constabulary (maybe I shouldn’t have corrected my possibly more accurate typo “costabulary”!) . Or perhaps one based on the old Hundreds. With real local accountability. The Lib Dems are supposed to believe in localism aren’t they? What are they doing about it?
Morning, HP! Just thought I’d post this completely off-topic video to represent my thoughts about where the Met are going and to give a little cheer through humour….

Only 5 downticks for “good morning” – what’s going on?
Something’s gone very wrong with the met. Maybe we should borrow an idea from “America” and have the local population voting on police wages?
This latest from John Campbell featuring MPs speeches re the Covid jab safety and efficacy is a good watch. The MPs are basically saying all the things JC would get banned on YT for saying, so he lets them do it. He’s funny and his face is a picture!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYFYq0xEAjQ&ab_channel=Dr.JohnCampbell
Yes, it’s worth watching – I saw it a couple of days ago. Over 12,000 comments on it now, many of them from the US, Canada, and Australia as well. At the top of it, John published the Parliamentary Hansard record link as well: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2022-10-24/debates/FF880636-BC3B-4BDB-A5E0-D6D4B82B2888/Covid-19VaccinesSafety So, if the worst comes to the worst with YT, at least one can read the minutes!
I recommend reading the Hansard records at your own pace: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2022-10-24/debates/FF880636-BC3B-4BDB-A5E0-D6D4B82B2888/Covid-19VaccinesSafety In particular, scrolling down to around 5:02 pm was revealing.
Good video. Thank goodness it covered things that John Campbell would have forgotten to say otherwise we wouldn’t know what we’d missed, would we?
I was saddened about the response from the Labour shadow Health Minister. In his speech, it seems he totally agrees with and supports the MHRA stance on the ‘vaccines’.
I always considered him to be an honest, hardworking, decent and honourable MP. His ongoing, steadfast support of the role the MHRA has played – and continues to play – in the temporary authorisation – EUA – of the jabs greatly disappointed me. A lot.
Further proof there will be no cavalry in numbers coming from the rank and file of the alleged ‘opposition’ party.
I would say that the so called opposition party pose the greatest potential threat to our freedoms. They wanted a harder lockdown, vaccine passports, mask mandates and the rest. They are also the ones baying for stricter, tighter controls due to that other lie – the climate emergency. I would not have thought it but a Starmer government will be extremely draconian and they will bring in mandatory Digital ID just like the Blair government tried to do in the early 2000s.
Yes that is how it will be & I’m sure the implosion of the Tory’s is on purpose to bring Max Headroom himself (Starmer) to power ! They are all in it together !
Thanks Mogs. Credit where due and John Campbell told the story very well.
An interesting 25min talk from a pilot who was sacked by Qantas for refusing to take the jab. He’s reporting on what he’s seeing and hearing from other pilots and cabin crew who took the jab.

https://tnc.news/2022/11/09/denying-unvaccinated-transplant1/
Health care should be non-judgemental and non-discriminatory. The C-19 great lie has exposed the true nature of many in the corrupt health-care systems. Evidence based and holistic care has left the building.
Organ donors are not allowed to be biased and stipulate who receive their organs, unless it is a planned transplant. However, the medical establishment can express bias and dictate who is eligible, based on whether someone has offered their arm (numerous times), willingly or otherwise, to be jabbed with a highly questionable substance.
This potential donor removed herself from the organ donor scheme months ago. I was very sad to do that but I am not willing to be party to a corrupt, dictatorial system that would demean my personal gift to others. A system that attaches tyrannical conditions that recipients must be jabbed. No way. My potential gift has been rescinded. My body, my choice. If I’m deemed a lesser mortal – socially and medically unclean because I stood up and said ‘no’ – then they have no right or expectations to use my untainted organs.
So you can only donate organs now if you’re vaccinated? This is insane. Why should I be surprised though? Much as I wish to point the finger of blame solely at the health chiefs and governments etc for their evil policies, I feel it is the vast raft of unthinking/unquestioning/incurious hospital orderlies, nurses, ward sisters, and doctors who largely act as the executive for them. Just doing their job indeed! This model of obedience can be transposed into any setting with the same result and is the ONLY reason that we’re all in this situation. Honestly, the levels of ignorance, incuriousity, blank denial, and willingness to adopt known unsafe methods (ventilators, Midazolam, Remsdesivir etc) is off the scale.
John O’Looney’s latest short video clip was his experience in a doctor’s surgery where a ‘care’ worker had brought an elderly frail person under her care to have a flu shot fully knowing that it would probably kill that person and being perfectly OK with that!
My understanding is that on the whole, in the U.K. the unjabbed can still offer and their organ(s) be accepted but the recipients, in many cases, are browbeaten to be jabbed. Although I did read something recently where an unjabbed relative’s offer to donate a kidney to a family member was refused by the medics, even though it was a match. It is almost like the health care professionals think they are now god in deciding who deserves life saving transplants based on the vagaries of ‘vaccination’ status.
I want no part of that coercion, hence my personal removal from the organ donor scheme. I’m open to reconsider my decision if sanity resumes but I’m doubtful it will.
What about people who need a replacement organ? Are they not allowed a choice of an injection free donation or are they restricted to an already diseased ie injected module?
That would be an horrific version of Hobson’s Choice.
This is the latest very interesting interview ( 43mins ) with Dr Makis who is keeping a database on Canadian doctors dying suddenly or unexpectedly. The number is now at 90 dead, with 3 young doctors dying from one medical school. He’s noticing the trend that the younger in age the higher the mortality and he shares Dr McCullough’s view that people are walking around with subclinical heart damage ( he cites the Thai study which showed 1 in 30 participants were suffering from this ) where they are completely asymptomatic, and so these people go on to have a fatal cardiac event out of the blue.
He speaks about many other topics including prion disease, women in their 40s and 50s have the same risk of myocarditis as men and the many examples of disgraceful shananigans from the Canadian Medical Association and doctors over there.

“Just Stop Oil spokesperson has racked up thousands of air miles”
I can’t even be bothered to raise an eyebrow…
I agree. The hypocrisy is to be expected now. We’ve gone over the facts about their transport, clothes, food, medicine etc again and again all needing oil to make them happen – manufacture, process, supply etc etc. They’re a bunch of entitled, privileged nitwit, eco-worriers looking for a cause and, in so doing, becoming the unwitting, useful idiots for the real power in the shadows that wishes to destroy our civilisation.
Their biggest crime is to convince young people that the Earth will burn up in a fiery ball within their lifetimes, unless they starve to death first. There are so many young people, so terrified that they won’t grow up that they are doing stupid stuff in a vain attempt to make a difference, because these people say they must.
Back when I was a lad, we knew the USSR had nukes, and we knew the USA had nukes and we could all end in a blinding flash one day. No-one blamed me for it, or told me that I was the only solution or that I had to give up having a family for the sake of everyone else. I’d happily see them carted off to secure accommodation where I would personally be prepared to drown each and every one of them in a bucket of sick. They are evil b’stards.
Although I was aware of the nuclear situation in childhood to some extent, I wasn’t over-exposed to it because as a child I didn’t watch the news or read newspapers. So didn’t go through childhood or teens terrified of imminent nuclear catastrophe. The current generation get far too much exposure to all the fear-mongering nonsense and so I’m not at all surprised they’re all terrified. This situation needs to be addressed because frightened children become frightened adults and then they demand insane policies…
They have been ensnared into a Cultish ( I have spelt it with an l ) mindset just like any cults, religious or otherwise that have gone before ,unfortunately the spell is very hard to break .
Very good Freddy and I like the pun on ‘spell.’

Continuing plans for digital ID
These updated plans from the EU Commission for ‘responding to Covid’ are a sorry tale of gaslighting and unjustified executive overreach, and have been comprehensively critiqued elsewhere. The fawning hero-worship afforded the pharmaceutical companies that have profited from injection mandates in this document is perhaps precisely what one might have expected from an organisation whose President is under investigation for her role in the procurement of these injection materials. It is no surprise that the EU chooses to trot out the imbecilic argument that “their successful roll-out has saved around 20 million lives worldwide during their first year” which we comprehensively repudiated back in July when modellers at Imperial first made this claim.
We never want to talk about this topic ever again. But it seems we must. And — until these crazy plans are stymied once and for all — we will.

Time Magazine June 2022…
The New York-based drugmaker said Tuesday that it would stop adding new participants to a highly anticipated study testing Paxlovid in a broader population of COVID patients who are at low risk of hospitalization and death. The decision comes after the study failed to demonstrate that the drug reduced COVID symptoms among relatively healthy patients* and wasn’t able to show a statistically significant reduction in hospitalization and death.
(*that would be the vast majority of ‘Covid’ patients then…?)
Time Magazine November 2022…The best inventions of 2022.
For many people, COVID-19 has become less of an urgent threat and more like other infectious diseases such as the flu or the common cold. That’s not only due to vaccines: antiviral drugs like Paxlovid minimize symptoms for people who do get infected. The drug, developed by Pfizer, can reduce hospitalization rates by 90%. But timing of the medication is important, since it’s most effective if people start the five-day course of treatment as soon after getting infected as possible. Not starting the therapy early enough can lead to incomplete suppression of the virus, which might explain why some people who have taken the drug can test positive for the virus again.
Do you think they know, absolutely, that they are lying and mis-leading people…? Even they should be able to remember something they printed six months earlier..and then to say it’s one of the best inventions of 2022…! I want to LOL..but it’s so beyond that….
I think this is further proof of the world we live in. Where lies and mis-information are trotted out, and they don’t even care that we know….
A good post ebg but I do believe we should drop “misinformation” from our lexicon.
Lies are just that, lies.
I agree..maybe I’ve been ‘got at’ by the propaganda…LOL!
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/11/11/1136039817/new-omicron-subvariants-now-dominant-in-the-u-s-raising-fears-of-a-winter-surge
Two new omicron subvariants have become dominant in the United States, raising fears they could fuel yet another surge of COVID-19 infections, according to estimates released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The subvariants — called BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 — appear to be among the most adept yet at evading immunity from vaccination and previous infection, and have now overtaken the BA.5 omicron subvariant that has dominated in the U.S. since the summer.
Because the newly dominant variants appear to be highly immune-evasive, many people may get reinfected.
“The bad news is that it’s likely that people who’ve been vaccinated and/or infected will still get infected” with these new sub-variants…
It’s only my opinion but do you think this is, partly, why no effective seasonal respiratory virus vaccine has ever been created nor ever will..???
(PS further down this article Fauci (bless!) is still saying the bivalent booster will protect people!!)
All the so called variants and sub-variants stem from the BS.1stream – bulls**t. That’s why the whole narrative stinks.
Hear, hear.

Thoughtful article from Todd Hayen that resonates with me….
Oddly enough, not wearing masks, and believing Covid to be over, to me is just another example of compliance to authority.
I know that seems a stretch, but if Covid were real, coupled with the truth that the vaccines do not work, and we were told again and again that there would be no natural herd immunity without a working vaccine, and we still hear of infections rising, variants being created, and hospitals becoming over crowded, why would people think the disease just died and disappeared? The reason is because we were told it was over.
I think you’re right, but now that people have been told but also experienced themselves and others close to them repeatedly getting covid and living to tell the tale, I think it would take some more substantial scare story to persuade them back into the kind of restrictions we have had. I don’t think simply saying it’s winter and there are lots of “cases” will wash any more.
I hope that’s true, but I wouldn’t have thought it of so many people I know the first time around!,
I enjoyed the article not least because I think it’s true, well it is for me, lots of us over the last few years have been down-hearted at some stage and just thought…..forget about it, ignorance is bliss…
but he’s right, we can’t forget and we shouldn’t….
I will never forget. But I will be trying to enjoy every single moment left to me because I don’t want to give the bastards the satisfaction of having ground me down.
I’m not sure the reason the Astrazeneca vaccine was not approved in the US was because it is not mRNA. After all, they approved the Johnson and Johnson one, another viral vector vaccine. I’m afraid the reason is more likely that it is not American.
….also, for whatever reason (payments made by Pfizer I suspect)….the blood clots/thrombocytopenia were much bigger news, and more openly reported on than any Pfizer side-effects…it’s always seemed really odd to me that countries stopped AZ because of that but were and are happy to jab young people and kids with a different vaxx that has know side-effects…particularly a large amount of heart side-effects……
Just another ‘rare’ occurrence……
