Nothing yet on Andrew Bridgen’s speech to Parliament and his censorship on YouTube. Tut-tut. The Daily sceptic, usually excellent, have taken their eye off the ball.
Dr John Campbell covered it:

No, we get 3 articles on Gary flaming Lineker though!
Does anybody have links to the Joseph Fraiman study on vax injuries and the 25 January UK HSA presentation to the JCVI on NNTs that formed the core of his speech?
Fraiman study is here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X22010283?via%3Dihub It’s a reanalysis of the Pfizer and Moderna phase 3 trials.
UK HSA presentation to the JCVI is here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1131409/appendix-1-of-jcvi-statement-on-2023-covid-19-vaccination-programme-8-november-2022.pdf – they make some rosy assumptions about the effectiveness of the vax in preventing hospitalisation, so the real NNTs may be even higher, but as Bridgen said, these are the government’s own figures.
Most of the Fraiman study results are not quite statistically significant – the paper essentially concludes that more research and access to participant-level data are needed. I guess if the regulators aren’t willing to estimate vax injury figures then you go with what you’ve got.
HSA, NNT’s?
Sorry
HSA=Health Security Agency
NNT=number needed to treat, that is to say the number of people who need to receive a treatment to prevent one instance of the health outcome that the treatment is supposed to prevent
Thank you very much.
It’s been re-instated on YouTube, after the ‘Twitter storm’……
..but last night I met up with some older friends who are fully quacksinated, and they said…no more….Yay! I think even the die-hards are seeing stuff in the papers and online now…..
Ah but don’t worry – Toby is red-pilled (or so he says..).
Not to worry, other, non-Telegraph obsessed independent writers come to the rescue;
”Andrew Bridgen, MP for North-West Leicestershire, read out a damning 3000-word speech to the House of Commons on Friday citing the “scale of harms that the experimental vaccines have caused”. Just six out of 650 members of Parliament bothered to attend.
In fact, the moment Bridgen stood to speak, some MP’s got up and walked out, appearing to be led by Andrew Mitchell, MP for Sutton Coldfield, who tapped people on the shoulder as if to remind them it was time to go.
Later that day, the video of Bridgen’s speech was taken down by YouTube, the tech giant claiming its contents were a “violation of community guidelines”.
And Andrew nails it, sadly his statement appears to include the DS site it would seem..
“I fully expect that the media will show the same level of disinterest in today’s debate. It is what we have come to expect from a media more interested in navel gazing at the pontifications of Britain’s foremost football pundit instead of the horror and tragedy of excess deaths taking place before their eyes.”
https://uncut.substack.com/p/have-we-not-sacrificed-enough-of
If the DS is part of some orchestrated freeze out of Bridgen, then I would really like to understand why.
I’ve written to the editor to ask why they aren’t covering Bridgen’s appearance in Parliament.
Watching Bridgen speak virtually alone and then that mid wit minister being rolled out to give a non response is sickening.
Thanks Mogs, another excellent substack.

Trans women – or is it Transthey or Transthem – now have something else to worry about – cervical cancer!
I kid you not. The Canadian Cancer Society suggests screening because there’s not a lot of information about cervical cancer risks and trans women…

Holy smoke.. It takes your breath away!
these days!
When did the IQ of the human race drop so quickly?
Going to Mars? we’ve all on going to the correct toilet
And where is their cervix? in a jar by the door?
I wonder when Lord Hannan is ready to make the other 2 connections, put the 3 together and come up with ‘Henderson’s’ law and conclusion:
L: The more and stricter you lock down, the more you kill/create excess all cause mortality EACM
M: The more and stricter you mandate masks, the more you kill/create EACM.
EGT: The more you disseminate and coerce people into getting experimental gene therapies, the more you kill/create EACM.
Henderson’s law, easy to Ferguson but in t/his case also correct for the first time:
L+M+EGT=EACM
You’ve lost me.
What the heyho is this about? Why are they really setting it up for? It seems really odd to me….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64999417.amp
A siren-like alert will be sent to mobile phone users across the UK next month to test a new government public warning system.
It allows the government and emergency services to send urgent messages warning the public of life-threatening situations like flooding or wildfires.
The test is expected to take place in the early evening of 23 April.
Messages would only ever come from the government or emergency services and will INITIALLY FOCUS on the most serious weather-related events…
(my capitals…)
We have it here in the NL. No biggie. We get notified if there’s any fires in the neighbourhood, for example. It’s very seldom used.
I appreciate what you are saying, and it might seem benign for now, but who knows?
…..how do they get all the telephone numbers? Is it lawful?….what other information about my phone do they have? why didn’t they ask me?
Will they use it in the next pandemic to lock me down?….or to find out my location? When did I ask for them to do it? I don’t want them on my phone…
I just don’t like the sound of it…Big Brother insinuating itself into my life when I neither need want or asked for it…..
(I’m allowed a tin-foil hat moment every now and then!!)
This is the blurb about ours. Says it uses cell broadcast technology and your phone number remains unknown. I don’t know if you can opt out or not…Anyway, last alert I got about a fire was last June. I appreciate not everyone’s as chill about these things as me though..
https://crisis.nl/nl-alert/english
Yes, I intend to opt out..it tells you how in the link I posted.
I live on the top of a hill, if I ever get a flood alert it means the houses on the three streets below me will already be under water!! LOL!
Just part of my, don’t go along with anything they want me to do…!?
Thanks, I hope I have switched off the facility successfully. Some useful information from the BBC for once.
I agree with you 100% ebg. And when was the last time the UK had any “wildfires?” None in my lifetime.
“Flooding? FFS we live at over 900 ft above sea level in the Pennines. There’s no chance of threat to life or limb from the Rochdale and Huddersfield Canal flooding and the nearest substantial stand of trees is four miles away in the National Park, surrounded by erm, moorland National Park.
Furthermore, I do not need nor want ‘phone calls from the effing government. I had enough of that when they chased me for the poison jabs until I bluntly told them they were wasting their time.
More money wasted on technology nobody wants nor needs.
Fear factoring.
Firkers.
Weather related events? Like warning us it gets cold and snows in winter and gets hot in summer? Gosh, how would we manage without the wonderful government looking after us? Smirk
…if it’s not a US proxy war…shouldn’t these comments be made by someone in Ukraine??
National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said on Thursday that the US does not support an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine under a China-proposed peace strategy.
The reason is that proceeding with China’s peace plan would constitute a violation of the UN charter by Russia, Kirby said.
“While [a ceasefire] sounds perfectly reasonable, and it sounds like a good thing, a ceasefire right now would basically ratify Russia’s conquest. It would, in effect, recognize Russia’s gains and all of its attempts to conquer its neighbors territory by force. So a ceasefire, right now, in our view, would constitute another continued violation of the UN charter by Russia,” Kirby said during a press briefing.
…so, to the last Ukrainian then??
HMG announce blanket warning Siren Test on all phones on St George’s day ! Amazing that !!.. Get this – you will have to acknowledge you have received it to get access back into your device !! God help us !!
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/mar/19/uk-launches-emergency-phone-alerts-public-warning-system
Looks like we will all have to turn our mobiles off or put in flight mode during the early evening of April 23rd to avoid receiving the alert.
Apologies ellie.
None needed. We get overwhelmed with the amount of information posted sometimes, don’t we? Well, I do
Here’s the link.
https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/19/uk-government-experiment-means-siren-will-sound-on-all-phones-18464853/
Can anybody advise when we last needed a national emergency alert?
I despair.
“you will have to acknowledge you have received it to get access back into your device !! God help us !!”
In other words this is a mechanism for establishing how many 4G and 5G mobiles there are in this country and there whereabouts.
The numbers data is probably only determined when we send our acknowledgements.
It would of course also be a helpful way of determining population size once allowances are made for non-users.
“Don’t be daft hux. You are down the rabbit hole again. Why would government want to know how many mobiles there are in the country and where they are? Tin-foil hatter!”
Well the £37 billion ‘wasted’ on Track and Trace is slowly being revealed:
1. ULEZ infrastructure.
2. Burst water mains on the High St.
Well the plot thickens…as if we didn’t already know that Parliament is full of BigPharma shills…as always Cui Bono??
it appears that the MP who can be seen urging people to leave the House, just before Andrew Bridgens speech, is Andrew Mitchell MP….who only a few days ago was ‘delighted to announce my new role as Polio Eradication Gender Champion at tonight’s Rotary event. UK support is helping the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to end polio.”
Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is funded by Government, the WHO, CDC, UNICEF, GAVI..and Bill and Melinda…..
Makes sense now!?
I’m afraid it does ! I posted about him yesterday ! All of them bar a couple are dirty rotton scoundrels !!!…
Yes..he has ‘history’….
we genuinely need to completely drain the swamp…

There are far, far too many ‘dishonourable’s’ in Parliament now. The great pretenders who know nothing of honour and value personal gain only. Shysters.

Well I never.
Another good article from Spectator Australia….
https://www.spectator.com.au/2023/03/did-the-ivermectin-ban-cost-lives/
It appears that we live in a reality where doctors are censored and early treatments such as ivermectin are banned, apparently to ensure public confidence in the government’s vaccine rollout is not undermined.
AHPRA and National Boards threatened doctors with regulatory action on March 9, 2021 if they made any statements that ‘undermined public confidence in the vaccination rollout’. The TGA also banned ivermectin’s use for the prevention or treatment of Covid in September 2021 because, according to the TGA, if people had access to it they may not get vaccinated…..
