“Test Ecstasy’s effect on depression, says Patrick Vallance”
If the Chief Medical Officer and his kind would feck off, and keep going, I think that might lift my depression quicker and more permanently than a couple of E.
It appears that Off-Vallance has identified another “nice little earner” for big Pharma – let’s get the population whizzed up and out of their heads on spliffs, crack, ‘e’s, coke, barbs, a touch of heroin.
Nice one Paddy. A Brucie Bonus is on its way.
Naturally this will allow us all to tolerate our slavery so much easier.
In fairness, use of LSD and other drugs for depression originates from scientific study going back decades. The substances getting into the recreational illegal drug market effectively put the kibosh on their proper uses in controlled circumstances.
“I don’t trust them to make completely disinterested interventions when it comes things like the fair distribution of vaccines.”
Probably the least of my and anyone else’s worries in regard of that power grab and total abdication of sovereignty.
I thought the same thing reading that. Especially as nobody who’s learned anything over the last few years and is in possession of a full set of marbles would go near a vaccine now. Pseudo or otherwise.
Until they force us to , which they must be planning , why build the vaccine factories otherwise & havent the uk tw- ts just signed off on another vaccine thingy
Sitting on the fence with that sentence Tobes ffs !!
Completely failing to understand the magnitude of what is being proposed more like.
“What are your links to slavery?”
None, I’ve never owned one!
Neither does any of the modern Western world! But the east, far east ,Africa and Australiasia is a different matter to this day! Try protesting in those places where it matters!
But you’ve probably drunk tea, which was once usually taken with sugar, which in the olden days was grown by slave labour in the West Indies. Don’t try to wriggle out of it…
So I’m responsible for drinking tea that,in the oldern days, was picked by slaves, before I was born? Sod off! You sound like a twaty lefty!
I could be wrong but I think Jon G is taking the P.
Er, that’s not strictly true: there are continuing issues with slavery in the West, but it is more prevalent and obvious in other countries (notably India and China). The issue is that the sort of slavery being referred to by the slavactivists is entirely historical, completely ideologically biassed and fundamentally irrelevant to modern society – they are NOT addressing slavery as it currently exists. In that sense their protests are simply irrational virtue signalling, nothing more.

There are occasional individual stories of modern slavery in MSM; antislavery.org has more data on modern slavery in the UK and a short vid (45s) on it’s front page on cases of child slavery:

Exploitation and slavery are not the same thing! I appreciate your detailed investigation though. A lot of the instances of “slavery” are mainly individuals committing heinous acts usually against family members for not towing the cultural line, not entities buying and selling people!
And this is all generally from one government source, so were covid numbers!
“Blame Boris Johnson for low-traffic neighbourhoods, says Sadiq Khan”
Sad dick Khan is the lowest form of life on this planet. Was a bottom feeder!
What a bottom feeder! (fecking spell checker!)
“British households will have to cut energy use again, says National Grid”
Buy your electric cars here! You’ll save the planet because you’ll never get to use them!
Expensive, shiny plant pots often with burn or scorch marks in the vicinity of what would have been the battery compartment…
“Major union attacks Labour plan to ban North Sea oil and gas licences” Thank god for some sense out there. Labour are potentially more dangerous to the future of this country than any terrorist organisation ever was. Their plans to block any new oil and gas licences would be disastrous for us all. Starmer is a WEF stooge. The fact that he has such a bland instantly forgettable appeal plays in our favour to a degree although he seems to have a Teflon coating too – remember beergate or was it currygate? I forget. I don’t trust any of the current politicians in Westminster bar one or two anyway but in my opinion Labour are the stealth party preparing to impose a Stalin-lite state of crushing control.
Also a member of The Tri Lateral Commision) check them
out ! ) & Director of public prosecutions who sat on his hands as the grooming gangs ran amock !! The clue is the “SIR”bit in his title ! He’s not batting for us don’t you worry !!
Peter Hitchens has pointed out that Starmer graduated from a particularly weird Marxist group and has claimed he’s never changed his political views. He’s a very dangerous man. The greatest evil is often remarkable for its blandness.
Very good analysis of the lies we were told about the ”safe and effective” clot shots and the resulting excess deaths by two law experts in Australia;
”There is little doubt the official narrative has been entirely misleading and deceptive. The suspicion that people have been misled about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines was strengthened by governments’ discontinuation of their comparative reporting on unvaccinated and vaccinated populations. For example, in the United Kingdom (U.K.), Public Health Scotland announced in late February 2022 that it would stop reporting deaths and hospitalisations by vaccination status. The U.K. Health Security Agency, in its March 31 report, has announced the same change. This report shows that in the previous four weeks nearly 90 per cent of adult cases “presenting to emergency care” with an overnight stay, and more than 90 per cent of deaths, were vaccinated and especially fully vaccinated”.
Never forget what the oppressive and illiberal health brigade did to us. Those who are responsible for this deadly cover up must be held fully accountable for the loss of so many lives and livelihoods.”

Blimey, I think they need more Prof Stocks in Uganda. Or maybe they’ll just have a mass exodus of gay people after this announcement. Talk about a homophobic country!
”The president of Uganda signed a punitive anti-gay bill on Monday that includes the death penalty, enshrining into law an intensifying crackdown against L.G.B.T.Q. people in the conservative East African nation and dismissing widespread calls not to impose one of the world’s most restrictive anti-gay measures.
The law calls for life imprisonment for anyone who engages in gay sex. Anyone who tries to have same-sex relations could be liable for up to a decade in prison.”

The latest video from Dr John Campbell regarding a paper on a WHO database that states COVID vaccines can cause multiple sclerosis:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9S2jooTxkQ
Looking at an article from 2020 regarding a pause of the Astrazeneca trial because one of the participants developed transverse myelitis following COVID vaccination, I can see the trial was also paused in July 2020 because a participant had developed multiple sclerosis. The condition was deemed unrelated to COVID vaccination.

Another good substack from Jessica Rose about the removal of ‘vaccine’ deaths from VAERS…
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/the-death-counts-been-slowing-down?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Mrs G,
Albert Welcome the Eagle’s substack is only analysis of the VAERS database, it’s where a lot of folk go to for the details. His substack can get a tad technical but can’t be beaten for analysis of the data. He’s been reporting about removals of deaths, throttling of the data to support the Narrative & the general shady dealings going on.
You can view his work here: https://welcometheeagle.substack.com/

Cheers BB…..
My pleasure!
Albert is a truly lovely man determined to shine a light on the darkness.

New paper using data from 29 countries calculated COVID death rate:
0-19 years old 0.0003%
20-29 0.002%
30-39 0.011%
40-49 0.035%
50-59 0.123%
60-69 0.506%
0-69 0.063-0.082%.
94% of the global population is 0-69.
In other words, Covid policy sacrificed the young to the old.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9613797/
Old people didn’t want it. And there’s a huge difference between the health of many 69 year olds and 99 year olds. Remember heartbreaking videos like the one of the 100 year old lady sobbing that she just wanted to see her family. There’s never been an era where more callousness was shown to the elderly. And not forgetting the mass extermination of the elderly and sick by breaking all past pandemic protocols and sending infectious people back to care homes. It was just another sickening, evil, divisive measure.
An interesting article from Canada, and how Trudeau defends the rights of Muslim parents not to have to teach them about LGBTQ+ but everyone else……??
Isn’t that just hypocrisy and double-standards, and just virtue signalling?
https://capforcanada.com/media-silent-as-muslim-canadian-council-rejects-lgbt-ideology/
Flip the switch to PM Trudeau’s preferred religion, and it’s an entirely different curriculum.
“Such policies[LGBT] subvert the agency of Muslim parents to teach their children their religiously grounded sexual ethics, violate their constitutional right to freely practice their religion, and contribute to an atmosphere of intolerance toward faith communities.”
Why doesn’t the same apply to Christian parents? Why is it that Canadian media have never pointed to the Muslim-LGBT dichotomy? Sounds like a case of stone-cold community privilege, no?
But not to worry, IMAMs of Canada. To be certain, CBC, CTV, Globe & Mail and the rest will refrain from breathing a word regarding the Christian-Muslim-LGBT dynamic.
https://www.politico.eu/article/covid19-european-commission-ursula-von-der-leyen-pfizer-the-eu-and-disappearing-ink/
Pfizer, the EU, and disappearing inkThe European Commission has systematically blocked scrutiny of its COVID-19 vaccine deal with Pfizer. This week’s update to the contract is no different.
It’s as if Pfizer’s massive COVID-19 vaccine deal with the European Commission were written with disappearing ink: the more time passes, the more details seem to vanish.
On Friday, the Commission said it had reached a long sought-after deal with Pfizer to revise the terms of the contract. The new deal cuts down the 450 million doses that were still due to be delivered in 2023, and spreads them out over the next four years.
That’s all the information you get. The Commission isn’t revealing the new number of doses that member countries must buy, nor any of the financial terms of the amended contract.

I HOPE you are all coping with the loss of confidence in Britain’s sofa-led government.
I must admit I had no idea how important Phillip Schofield’s sex life was to our constitution.
Where do we, as a nation, go from here?
Will Holly Willoughby be the next casualty?
Will there be an interim administration, run by Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond?
Which new leaders will be acceptable to our new puppetmasters in the civil service?
And why on earth are these clowns paid so much deference?
