The last few weeks have seen a series of interviews, revelations and disconcerting findings from studies looking at the global catastrophe called lockdowns and the actions of some of the main characters.
For example, we have learned that, after a series of flip-flops on most aspects of lockdowns, Dame Jenny Harries thinks that perhaps, maybe, next time (as there will be a next time), we should take an approach similar to Sweden.
Then, the Telegraph informs us that low MMR vaccination rates may result in breakthrough measles epidemics. Then we have the same Telegraph airing the view that locking up and masking children may be harmful. Wow!
We are sure we will be treated in weeks to come to many more amazing revelations. For example, restricting access to cancer services led to diagnoses going through the roof when you reopen and more advanced stages than usual when first diagnosed. Or how about leaving the elderly in solitary confinement means they died of dehydration, loneliness and hunger? Or offering quasi-free billions in state aid without basic controls means you will be robbed blind – sorry – taxpayers will be robbed blind.
We are also expecting masses of observational data showing that masks do cut transmission of respiratory viruses down, and so do mRNA vaccines. We know, we know: there are already many trash studies of this sort.
The difference now will be that they will be packaged into systematic reviews led by friendly academics and authoritative new faces that will come to the correct conclusions. It’s amazing what a few quid will do to folk.
Last but not least comes the revelation that Dr. Anthony Fauci did not need to sign in when visiting CIA mission control, perhaps because he was a part of the intelligence club already – ah, sorry, ‘asset’.
All this flipping, backpedalling, hagiography and revelations based on the retrospectoscope lead us to suspect that the main people in the events of the last three years are increasingly nervous about their role and the consequences of their actions (or lack of).
Is it the Inquiry? Is it that they all have their knighthoods, damehoods and pensions and are thinking of their legacies now? Is it something in their tea? Or, is it they got it wrong but don’t want to ‘fess up to their errors?
We may be witnessing the beginning of the unfolding of the narrative, but whatever is going on, we will call them out one by one, ensuring that Trust the Evidence remains a witness to the folly of humankind.

He runs International Rescue? FAB
Thunderbirds are go. I bloody well knew I had seen those two in something on tv.
I really don’t think those vehicles or the emerging from a volcano is at all climate friendly
Yes, but those vehicles are not for the likes of us.
Psst… your strings are showing.
I am surprised.
#metoo
Well I never.
It is safe to conclude that the depth of corruption running through Kneel’s government is so deep that a day without such a revelation would be headline making in and of itself.
I’d happily approve a one-off payment of several million pounds each to the whole damn lot of them if they promise to piss off to the Cayman Islands and leave us in peace.
Yes, but what about next year’s payment?
One time offer, no comebacks.
Once they have settled in on the Caymans, say six months, we nuke them.
You could buy a lot of hempen rope for several million quid… much more environmentally friendly.
These two are proper dense say what you like about their dad. Honestly I don’t understand the attraction.
What the article didn’t mention is that giant batteries as backup storage for when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun shine are an absolute bust anyway (just like every other ‘hi-tech’ aspect of the Net Zero agenda);
It would cost £ trillions to provide even a few days worth across the UK, and there are not nearly enough heavy metal and mineral reserves available on the planet for any widescale implementations of this ludicrous concept in any case.
The ‘Green agenda’ isn’t going to happen. England will be the last country to forsake it and not before it has done a lot of damage but it is being disinvested on a worldwide level on every level. Because it is a lie of course and it has been exposed. But when the dust has settled you will as an economy have a hard time of meeting your energy needs because your infrastructure will have been destroyed.
By design… they are following a script
The idea of a “clean energy superpower” is a contradiction in terms. “Clean energy 3rd World Nation” might be a more accurate phrase. Reliance upon renewables can only bring a nation in one direction… towards a weakening of its security against stronger nations that are backed up by their fossil fuel wealth, and the total reliance on those nations for our economic prosperity, including buying oil and gas from them. I.e. outsourcing our extraction of oil and gas and exporting our wealth.
Sort of on topic:

There’s always a money story involved whenever some politician crawls out of the woodwork and starts skipping around a podium, Milliband-style, advocating a supposedly philanthropic cause like Net Zero. The venture-capital firm Giant Ventures and it’s bitches-in-arms the Milliband Brothers will happily reap their fortunes while the global climate laughs in our faces as it continues on it’s merry little way regardless.
There seems to be no limit to the corruption in Westminster! It doesn’t even surprise us any longer.
