I’ve written the lead comment piece for today’s Sunday Express. This is how it begins:
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks trying to whip up support for Nigel Farage in his battle against woke British banks.
Closing people’s accounts for expressing the ‘wrong’ views is a brutally effective type of censorship that originated in Communist China and has no place in a supposedly free country like ours.
My first thought was to create a meme based on the old advert for the National Lottery.
A giant hand holding a pair of rainbow-coloured scissors would emerge from a high street bank.
Then it would cut up the credit card of an unsuspecting member of the public, with the caption: “It could be you!”
But I realised this wouldn’t capture the threat posed by this sinister new form of cancel culture because not everyone is equally at risk.
The people most in danger of losing their accounts are those with unfashionable views, whether it’s the former leader of the Brexit Party or Richard Fothergill, a Church of England vicar who was de-banked by the Yorkshire Building Society after he objected to its promotion of trans ideology.
I think that’s why almost no one on the Left of British politics has taken Nigel’s side in this dispute.
So far, broadcasters Paul Mason and Emily Maitlis, Remoaner propagandist Alastair Campbell, Labour’s Rachel Reeves and comedian Omid Djalili have defended Coutts’s decision to defenestrate the GB News presenter.
A YouGov opinion poll last week revealed 24 percent of Labour voters think banks should be allowed to remove customers who have personal or political beliefs that don’t align with their values.
Labour leader Keir Starmer did eventually mutter something about how no one should be refused banking services because of their views, but it had to be dragged out of him.
Think how different the reaction would have been if it had been Jeremy Corbyn who’d been de-banked and not Nigel Farage, particularly if the lender then leaked confidential details of his finances to the BBC in an effort to pretend the reason he’d lost his account was for purely “commercial reasons”.
The entire Liberal Establishment would have been up in arms, demanding the head of the bank’s CEO.
The same people who’ve been sniggering at Nigel’s misfortune would have been loudly proclaiming that having a bank account is a basic human right, like access to water and electricity.

$cience. They sacrificed 150.000 to Moloch during and after the main stabbination programs and now 1500 a week in ‘excess’ deaths, including as the article says, a massive spike in heart issues. We know a doctor. Pre Rona fascism he had maybe 2 myocarditis and related issues a month. It is now 2-5 a week. Good articles online explain how the lipids, proteins and corrupted DNA are viewed as poisons by your body and what happens to your cells when they are infilitrated by the same. Some vials contain graphene, every vial has chemcial toxins eg mercury.
The ‘$cience’ is useless as is the medical establishment. Their religion prays to the Vaxx God, the Lord and Saviour, and his Son, Money. Fact is, all the stabs are junk and poisons, including the ‘normal’ stabbinations. Toxic every single one. $cientism, medical tyranny and profits. I hate them all.
The answer is obvious. CO2 has risen from 418 parts / million to 424 from 2020 to 2023 – which is a strong correlation with increasing deaths from heart disease. I think this is called “The Science”.

Do 8 👎 not get irony?
I’m guessing “no”?
Many thanks for the well researched and argued article and the staistics.
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the MSM and our joke of a Parliament start asking questions….
I know this has been said before, but one can’t help but notice seeing more and more emergency ambulances on the roads these days?
Only anecdotal, but a few days ago I saw four in a day (and no I wasn’t parked outside A and E).
“I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the MSM and our joke of a Parliament start asking questions….”
You get the Best Humour of the Week Award.
I’ve noticed that too in the North-West. It’s also noticeable that there are many more private ambulances around that are contracted to the NHS. A quick search shows that the North West spent over £15m on these services last year.

As I’ve said before, the government can wait three or four years and say that cardiac deaths are at the five year average, so there’s nothing to see.
Looking at the BI tool, even the comparative data is modelled “expected deaths had the pandemic not occurred” are the answers that bad that they don’t put forward the actual data?
Yes, the author mentions that the ‘expected’ rate of cardiac deaths had increased by 6% compared with the expected rate in 2020. Has the population changed so much? What calculation was made in the background (modelled) to expect this change? Is the expected rate similarly increased for dementia or cancer?
With ‘black box’ models I wonder what assumptions have been built in. For an extreme example: ‘we expect more cardiac deaths because of people’s behaviour change’. I hope that’s not built in to the model.
There is a measurable change in all-cause mortality rates in England and Wales in younger age groups (under 65s) as compared with the extrapolated 8-year trends for each group up to 2018. Sure people can argue why the trend might no longer be relevant – but only if they know that it is the basis for the model.
It’s corrupt nonsense. The ratio effect of increasing the base number measured as a comparison to the increase would be significant.
”The vaccine did it until proven otherwise” Dr Peter McCullough.
Just a ‘FYI’, David Dickson’s site is another great source of info. I think he’s a Brit living in Canada, so he covers both countries. Interesting stuff;
”Then we see a huge spike in 2020 which, as you have seen from the cumulative weekly chart, coincides with restrictions, not deaths from COVID. As there had been an effective cull in 2020 (killing off people early who would normally have died in the coming years), we see a drop in reported deaths for 2021 and 2022 (which is still significantly over the 10-year average).
2021 was the year of the primary vaccine push. We see from the cumulative weekly chart on excess deaths that the deaths coincide with the vaccine rollout and other restrictions. 2022 is largely ‘free’ (no lockdowns outside of Care Homes) with a flatline of vaccine rollout worldwide starting in February 2022. This is something many people are not aware of.
Governments worldwide stopped the aggressive push of vaccines in February 2022 almost in lockstep. Then in July 2022, they all stopped reporting the ‘by vaccine status’ of hospitalizations and deaths. That change wasn’t as simple as just most people being vaccinated but had a nuance of what dose was seeing a rise in hospitalizations and deaths. Due to the continuous aggressive rollout and coercion of vaccines up to February 2022, it looked like the third dose and more was the primary risk for people. However, with the removal of that additional ‘noise’ of booster doses happening en masse, we started to see an alarming increase in all-cause deaths among those with just a first or second dose (many who were six months or more on since their vaccination). Governments appear to have received their answer at this point.
There was NO SAFE DOSE.”

My Mum, who had no history of heart trouble before the third Pfizer jab, is being pretty much rushed into hospital for a defibrillator-pacemaker fitting in the next fortnight. She was told there’s an 18 month waiting list…
My friends partner having cardiac issues since the “vaccine” she was told that the local surgery has never seen such high demand for heart monitors
Geerd van den Bossche has an idea and a new prediction and warning out that it’s soon gonna increase even more for some….

Just watched this. It is bloody scary. Along with all the current sudden deaths from heart disease/strokes it will have a massive impact on all health care systems throghout the highly jabbed world.
I did at one time think the medium term problems would start in about 2025 but from what I am seeing now it’s already started and will only escalate.
The “doctor” thinks anyone who is sceptical is a loon..
He’s obviously learnt absolutely nothing over these past few years…… The irony is astonishing… He’s beyond a loon

“The Failings of the NHS Can’t Explain the Dramatic Rise in Heart Failure Deaths”
No, but vaccines can! Just try investigating for once!
Great article but I do wish people would stop using the p-word to describe the period during which we were told that there was a deadly and almost unprecedented pandemic, but in fact it was no such thing.
We must at all costs rid everyone of the notion that anything exceptional was happening – apart from exceptional stupidity, corruption, lies and plain evil.
Yes, I always say ‘lockdowns’.
The degree of evil today in our institutions is just staggering. Eugenics has been around in US since early 1900s. There are many who believe the world is overpopulated and must do something about it. The elites and anointed believe humans should be bred and only the anointed should be allowed to procreate & prosper. The latest revelation that China, US and Russia have been developing bioweapons that are ethnically selective is astounding and shows the level of evil we are capable of when it involves national security.
