Public Health Fears Microwaves From 5G

latest leaflet to print at home and deliver to neighbours or forward to politicians, media, friends online.

Campaign to stop your local council destroying local countryside and finances with such schemes. By the way there has been some success on Wiltshire, Surrey and Berkshire stopping some 5G towers at least.

“Tories have “utterly betrayed” the British people on immigration, says Richard Tice.”

“Tories have utterly betrayed British people” would suffice.

Tice? The tw*t that got hot and horny for ‘vaccines’ and joined the rabid mob that went after anyone that exercised free will. Then changed his mind. That Tice? And he’s taking about the betrayal of British people? If there’s a God then Tice will find his head impaled on a stick along with countless other traitors.

But did they stick by the rules because they already had poor mental health/were worriers or anxious or otherwise unwell? Or did sticking by the rules bring about their mental health problems? Probably a bit of both.

“A grotesque circus” – The bloated Covid inquiry is on course to be the most expensive held in Britain, exceeding the 12-year, £200 million Bloody Sunday inquiry, says Quentin Letts in the Mail.

Good to see this sort of thing in the Mail. Better late than never.

However:

Covid was a global disaster. Like many countries we scuttled our economy in a tragically unsuccessful attempt to stop people dying. During two years from March 2020, Covid was linked to some 230,000 deaths.

Well, the damn bug may have been linked to 230,000 deaths in those two years but there were fewer than 100,000 deaths more than expected based on trends over the previous decade. Given that it is also generally accepted that some deaths were linked to the health and welfare system focussing almost exclusively on Covid the 230,000 claim should be challenged..

“Small boats are like unlocked window when door is open” – Matt Goodwin writes for the Mail about how shocked he is by the scale of inward migration to Britain.

To stretch the analogy, if someone climbs into your house through an unlocked window it does not seem reasonable to invite them to sit down on your sofa and give them a cup of tea and biscuits.

“Oxford University executive died of stroke caused by AstraZeneca jab” – Nicola Weideling, 45, a senior manager at Oxford University, died in Southampton General Hospital on May 15, 2021, after suffering blood clots caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine, reports the Mail.

A very sad case. So, around 2 and half years later we get a verdict on cause of death. I suspect this means her death registration was also delayed a tad beyond the 5 day target.

There’s a huge backlog in Coroners’ court cases – this will be delaying the registration of unusual causes of death and making analysis of death data more difficult than it needs to be.

From ONS we need date of death occurrence data rather than date of registration. For those cases which are still to be decided by a coroner we could have a temporary ’cause’ of not yet determined.

Hundreds of upticks. I argued this as soon as the inadequate Covid data started to be widely published.

regardless of Covid, deaths should be recorded with as much information as possible. At the least, data analysis could sometimes pick up all sorts of problems, not least failures in the NHS.

Definitely.

I think the historical death data is recorded and available to ONS but just not presented that way. I’m sure it would be quite a lot of work to go back through decades of records to provide a new view on the data – but it should certainly be possible. ONS have an information page on the effects of delayed registration but seem to have not followed the thought through to what happens if there’s a bit of a surge in cases referred to Coroners?

“It would be unforgivable to allow Abu Dhabi to nationalise the Telegraph and Spectator” Although the DS news round contains many articles from the Telegraph and Spectator, I get a feeling not many of us are ardent followers of mainstream news. Now I may be wrong as I have not followed the editorial line of these titles closely, but my guess is that they have shilly-shallied around the subjects of mRNA jabs and climate change and not addressed the lurking monster of Agenda 21 and all the joys of totalitarianism it contains. Being owned by an Arab state, I very much doubt they will allow frank opinions by their writers on the dangers of mass immigration, the WHO, Agenda 21 and so on. In fact, in two days time on the 27th November, Abu Dhabi will be hosting their own economic forum which basically covers Agenda 21 goals. The Abu Dhabi Economic Forum – https://www.adgm.com/events/abudhabifinanceweek2023/abu-dhabi-economic-forum/agenda – mentions the changing world order. So I very much doubt there will be any pushback in either the DT or the Spectator sometime soon.

Another reason why I won’t be marching in London in support of the Israeli State..
Its murdered 60 journalists since the 7th.. Come TY… On behalf of your fellow colleagues why arnt you on this??..

The Israel state is a Terrorist State… How else can you describe a country that tracks press via their equipment and murders them, not even in Gaza nor West bank..

https://cpj.org/2023/11/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/

As of November 25, CPJ’s preliminary investigations showed at least 53 journalists and media workers were among the more than 15,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with over 14,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 deaths in Israel. The second-deadliest day for journalist deaths occurred on November 18, with five killed; the deadliest day of the war was its first day, October 7, with 6 journalists killed.

“Time to take a stand against the new Jew hatred” – Join the March Against Anti-Semitism in London this Sunday, urges Tom Slater in Spiked

I find the opening sentence in this article so utterly absurb..

“It’s been said that a measure of the health of a society is how it treats its Jewish citizens”

Shoulnt that be, in a fair, realistic and balanced world “how it treats ALL it’s citizens”

Who on earth is this Tom Slater…what is he on…

“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…” Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache
