Why are NHS staff discussing the NHS with unelected eugenecists at the WEF? Obviously this scummy, lying piece of shyte should be sacked immediately but then pigs would be airborne wouldn’t they?
The bloke comes over as a brainwashed loon. Another useful idiot. Why is the NHS wasting our taxes on this rubbish, when it doesn’t exactly shine at its day job?!
He sounds drunk, HP. Drunk on lies, drunk on power, drunk on nonsense and also just drunk. He looks drunk. I mean “Come on, the world is on fire!” are those the words of a clear thinking rational professional? And who is that smiling buffooness? And why is he even talking at a WEF conference at all? It’s all pantomime.
I went to another of the local town council meeting last night to hear about Persimmon’s next housing development and to ask questions about why the council declared a climate emergency when all the signs are there isn’t and all the actions of housing developers – even though they pay lip service to the idea – show a complete opposite. Of course, they had all the answers but basically it comes down to money. If Persimmon have to adapt their buildings by having solar panels as standard, triple glazing and all the rest, they wouldn’t make as much money!
As I say, it’s all one big effing pantomime.
Is he there representing the NHS or has he taken leave to attend in a personal capacity. Who funded the trip and who authorised it.
He won’t be sacked , he’s definitely swallowed the Cool Aid , Tw-t !
And it’s Good night from him.
Good night
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, it’s the dumb and dumber show.
Not content with flooding their own positions, Plutin’s picked men shoot up the Manglewurzels:
“This is possibly the dumbest kill video of this whole war and I really mean it. This Russian Ka-52 attack chopper crew thought that they have targeted and destroyed Leopard 2 tanks (you read this correctly). Even a semi-professional can clearly see that these are agricultural harvester and sprayer machines. And as if this is not dumb enough, Russian regime bloggers like Kotsnews plus Ria Novosti issued this footage……’
There are currently 6 doctors crowdfunding so they can take legal action against the GMC because it failed to remove the license of ”high profile” doctors ( think we can guess who they are ) speaking out with concerns over the death jabs. Originally covered in the BMJ, here is the DM version;
”A small number of high-profile British medics have used their social media status to repeatedly spread vaccine misinformation, the doctors allege. This includes heavily disputed claims on Twitter and in TV interviews that some or all Covid vaccines are ineffective and cause widespread serious heart problems.
In a statement last week the group said some of the anti-vax messages implied ‘particular deaths are due to the vaccines, when there is no evidence to support that link’.
It added: ‘We don’t mean pointing out that vaccines occasionally cause harm. We mean wilfully and repeatedly misrepresenting the evidence on vaccines in a way that significantly over-emphasises their harm.
‘The GMC has a statutory remit to investigate doctors who… behave in a way that brings the profession into disrepute.”’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12156293/Medics-set-sue-General-Medical-Council-failing-clamp-conspiracy-theorists.html
It’s heartening to read some responses challenging their stance from other doctors in the BMJ who also have concerns; Just one excerpt;
”I also think it is high time that we scrap this word ‘anti-vax’, as it’s nothing more than a term used with the intent of intimidation and character defamation. To smear those who have common sense things to say, and are not ideologically possessed with the same pop narrative of the ‘safe and effective’ covid vaccines.
There is plenty of evidence by now to indicate that these vaccines cause significant harm to certain people, and we have to stop pushing this lie that no harm is being done. I am so sick and tired of this psychological bullying going on in the UK and in the medical profession. And we have to stop weaponising the GMC to attack our colleagues. If these doctors are so concerned, why don’t they organise an open discussion about the evidence, so they can once and for all discredit this supposed misinformation. A conversation that is about 3 years overdue anyway.”

“….to investigate doctors …. that bring the orofession into disrepute”…
Start with Whitty et al and work down? A witch hunt, rather than open debate, tells us all we need to know; that it is about brand management and control rather than scientific honesty.
Yes and I would add it also demonstrates that there is nefarious intent because those doing the ‘witch-hunting’ are the doctors who have not upheld their oath, they’re actually demonstrating the polar opposite and clearly have an intention to cause harm, then there’s the authorities, whom we know are complicit and enable/promote said harms to continue in the first place.
And this doctor is definitely one of the ”high profile” ones they’re gunning for! I can quite imagine that Dr Ranj is one of the 6 vax zealots going after him, Malhotra, Dalgliesh et al. I used to really like him in his kids’ puppet show on CBeebies years ago. When did he turn into such a vaxtard, paedo-sympathizing, oath-ignoring dick??
”Paedophiles need help and support not persecution.” But persecute the doctors who speak out because they have a duty of care towards their patients and remember what ”First do no harm” means, eh? Preening, attention-craving muppet!!

Excellent article on TCW
‘In response to a freedom of information request about flu in 2020 the ONS obfuscated its answer by using a different death code, ‘respiratory disease’ rather than flu, for the period up to May 2020, and may have done so to hide the deaths that should have been attributed to flu. This FoI request shows that there were 2,287 flu deaths in March 2020, which is not greatly different from the 3,324 Covid-19 deaths that same month; yet SARS-CoV-2 was considered to be a significantly greater threat to public health. Furthermore, in January 2021 the ONS reported that there were almost as many deaths involving flu (5,719) as there were involving C
covid-19 (7,610), yet for only 5.2 per cent of these flu deaths was flu recorded as the underlying cause of death.https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/deaths-from-the-flu-do-not-seek-and-ye-shall-not-find/
The ONS…..never knowingly apolitical……
Fudge a few stats…then home for tea and treble knighthoods all round……
More data for the inquiry……you might hope……..
I would say that if anyone needs to talk about revoking medical licenses of doctors who are deemed not fit to practice then another area of concern is those that cannot determine what a woman is. The worst thing about the below example is that these two gynaecologists are female! What a concerning sign of the times this is.
”As debate over radical leftist ideology continues to rage, some OBGYNs have publicly made the absurd assertion that Dylan Mulvaney is a woman.
“Is this person a woman?” Ahmad Malik tweeted, sharing photos of Mulvaney, a man who identifies as a transgender woman. Malik’s tweet has apparently since been deleted.
“Gynecologist here. The answer is yes. And you’re a bigot. Not a good look for a physician,” Michele Quinn responded.
Quinn’s Twitter profile indicates that she is an “Ob-Gyn, abortion provider,” and “minimally-invasive gynecologic surgeon.”
https://www.theblaze.com/news/obgyn-claim-dylan-mulvaney-woman?ref=upstract.com
Quinn should be sacked. She obviously hasn’t learned anything and is in the wrong profession if she can’t even tell what a woman is. The definition of gynaecology is – The branch of medicine that deals with the diseases and hygiene of women – that is pretty specific, very explanatory. Dylan Mulvaney is highly unlikely to have diseases of women’s reproductive organs. In fact, no, I will restate that Dylan Mulvaney will never, ever have diseases of the reproductive organs of a woman because he, no matter what he says or does, will never, ever be a woman. If he wants to live his life as a woman, that is OK. He can do what he likes. Dress like a woman, have make up like a woman and all the rest but his basic biological sex and gender will always be a man. That is not bigoted speech, it is not hate speech, because I certainly don’t hate him, that is reality…people need to follow the science…!!
Damn right Aethelred. But in this topsy turvy world we now live in, where everything seems to be the exact opposite of what it should be, and reality is continually denied, evidence ignored/censored, we can call out these absurdities until the cows come home but when will fundamental, meaningful change take place? This is my concern. Going to university used to be something to strive for and what most parents wish for their kids but now, if these higher education establishments are so governed by the Lefty Woke Brigade, academia infiltrated and funded by Big Pharma, information controlled by Big Tech and free speech discouraged and critical thinking to be dissuaded, groupthink encouraged, then where does that leave future generations who just want to establish a profession and get on in life? It’s crazy what young people have to contend with now and it’s a real concern as a parent.
I do worry for the young people for exactly all those reasons you mentioned, Mogs. They have to navigate a very difficult path, watch their speech, say the right things otherwise their lives could be destroyed before they’ve even begun. We must train our children to be conscious warriors of conscience, compassion, empathy and basic common sense!
“We must train our children to be conscious warriors of conscience, compassion, empathy and basic common sense!”
Christians then Aethelred?
Not necessarily, HP. I don’t care what religion they are, they just need to be decent caring people who think. That’s it!
The same Dylan Mulvaney who has tweeted (can’t find the link) that he is a lesbian….
My brain just short-circuited.
A boy, who wants to be a girl, discovers he likes girls, which is what boys do. A lesbian, who is actually a boy, likes girls, but a lesbian is a girl who likes girls.
Wibble.
Self-obsessed, attention-seeking, immature pr@t probably provides a more accurate description. Go and get a proper job, laddie.
Precisely!
NHS – If they are so worried about the env – why use a scissors once, have huge packaging for a bandage and so much other waste. Why is a scissors for cutting a plster 5 times the price of a scissors for cutting paper at home – ???? Its waste waste waste in the name of ‘hygine’. Give me a break.
It all came in, if I remember rightly, because of the false panic about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. My practice nurse told me that the stainless steel toe-clippers included in our ingrowing toenail surgical kit had to be junked (even though they had not been used in the minor op I was doing).
I liberated them instead, and they’re still going strong at home twenty years later.
Needless to say, once the policy outlived any usefulness, it was continued anyway – more profit for manufacturers, as sterilizing just uses a bit of electricity.
“We failed the trolley problem”
This is a very racist picture! I’m offended

Why all white men on the tracks of death?
What would have been said if they where all black men?
I suppose the driver is black?

I posted this last night and most will not have seen it. For those who want to read a truly in-depth analysis of where we are and where we are headed I recommend reading this article.
NOT for the fainthearted and long at about 30-40 minutes.
A headlong rush to tyranny CCP style.
Asking folk if they want to live under a CCP style regime & then ask them if they’re aware of government policy on ceding power to unelected supranational bodies, of restricting movement, of reducing the travel infrastructure etc to ensure that folk can be tracked, traced & corralled is what we need to be doing. 15 minute ghettoes is waking folk up slowly. This approach doesn’t challenge their brainwashing on ‘safe & effective’ jabs or lockdowns etc but sows a seed about whether they want their children & grandchildren to live within such a tyrannical regime.

Tucker Carlson Episode 1.
I don’t agree with everything Tucker says here..but that is the pleasure of it..he’s saying things that might be controversial….and doesn’t go with the mainstream agenda….anyway he’s sent MSM into meltdown, so he’s fine by me….(perhaps like Andrew Tate, he’s going to have to put up the sign ‘I am not feeling suicidal’!!!)
Thanks ebg – marvellous news.
I see the New York Times says that all the footage of Nazi symbols displayed by Ukrainian armed forces risks fuelling Russian propaganda. They have good evidence for this, as Hitler had exactly the same problem.
Dr Jones and the Counter Disinformation Unit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvEXX985RKA&list=WL&index=4
By JC – about 52 minutes, mostly an interview of Dr. Ros Jones.
Yesterday evening Andres Bridgen was the guest at our MD4CE meeting. He took questions for almost 90 minutes.
Very insightful into what is known in the Westminster Estate, the shenanigans that go on to try to silence dissent, why Reclaim hasn’t got much traction in elections, how he has been prevented from access to his own financial resources & other such nuggets.
He really is a lovely man who is fighting hard for democracy & gets it that sovereignty rests with us, the people, not the MPs, the government or any other politician & that it is not theirs to give away on our behalf.
Recording is not yet posted but will be shortly: https://rumble.com/user/cbkovess
Thanks BB.
