Never about the science though, was it? Otherwise that man and his many collaborators in parliament and the media would have mentioned nutritional medicine, and spoken to the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service (OMNS), and we wouldn’t have had those rigged vitamin D trials where vitamin D deficient people were excluded, and which were completely different to what the OMNS recommended (and by the way we wouldn’t have had lockdowns, the Diamond Princess proving that this virus was far below the lethality envisioned in the previous pandemic preparedness plans that were so casually cast aside). Never forget what was done to us, the distortions and outright lies we were fed (thankyou, Devi “100% safe” Sridhar). Where was ruddy Ofcom when we needed them?
They turned their own science into a god and all other science was considered as pagan, the preserve of heretics. They said they were following the science. Trust the science they said. That sorry excuse for a human being, Fauci, even said ‘I am the science’! What self-deluded, arrogant, evil little twerps they all are, cowards every man jack of them and we, WE, let them govern US. They don’t deserve to be in positions of such power. We will have our day in court. Hancock must never, ever be allowed near any type of power unless it’s a bare live wire from an electric plug.
Hancock is a patsy – culpable yes – but only in the same way that big moronic giant is in Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice & Me’. Fauci, Daszak, Farrar would be a good place to start…
Not of course the narcissistic ‘Of Mice and Me’ by Matt Hancock, subtitled ‘How I got the Bivalent Covid Boosters Trialled and Approved As Safe and Effective’
Ofcom were of course enforcing the narrative.
We don’t have to follow “the science”. Science is a method and the knowledge derived from that method. That doesn’t mean it can provide the answer to important questions like: do we lock people in their homes, or do we force vax passports on people.
Those are not scientific questions, they are political and moral questions for which the scientific method has nothing to offer.
Few phrases get my back up more these days than “follow the science”. It is the mantra of people who think themselves too rational to follow a religion but in fact crave one.

Tomboy – shock, horror, swoon – how could the term be so wrongly used. It should be tomthey, surely? What a load of spherical in plural!
“Sadiq Khan blames Boris Johnson for Ulez extension:”
So, someone else has an idea, you nick it and use it, then when it goes wrong, you blame them for it! What an absolute priceless tit Khan is!
Like kids in a play ground pointing and blaming every one else!
Well, that’s it, Dings, they ARE little kids. Mature people take responsibility for their actions and stand by them and if they are proved wrong, they admit they are wrong and learn from their mistakes. Here, we have a psychotherapist’s full waiting room of political fools to deal with. In fact, Anyone seeking the reins of power should have a full psychiatric evaluation before they are ever allowed to participate.
Oh you are so right!

I’d describe Jeremy Farrar as corrupt rather than supine.
Supine is a curious choice of word. Agreed.
Farrar is way beyond supine, he is the European equivalent of Fraudci at least but has kept himself under the radar for thirty years. A deeply evil specimen who is up to his neck in all the Reset shyte. Extremely dangerous.
A decade plus in Vietnam , bagging the coveted Order of Ho Chi Minh. I wonder if Farrar and Hunt both hail from the Manchester area, as then they could rightly be described as Mancunian Candidates as well.
WHO knows?
The top article from UnHerd article about ‘Sir’ Jeremy Farrar is excellent.
This MiniMe Fauci is exposed here quite comprehensively. HIs actions of stifling the truth, to misdirect and deceive the world about the lab leak origins, along with Daszak and a dodgy crew of Deep State Military Bioweapon players represent the very antithesis of science and most certainly anything representing itself as medicine.
And now he’s going to be the Chief Scientific Officer of the WHO, which can be reasonably described as a demonic subsidiary cartel of the pharmafia technocratic beast. Who here doubts it?
It occurs to me that this Farrar/WHO/FAUCI/bioweapon swamp is in some unfathomable way the actual origin story for the Daleks and that of their leader Davros who is interestingly named.
It’s all dark and the people running it are dark. There is no truth here.
Can right thinking people have anything more than contempt and distrust for the WHO and its equivocating minions?
Five times Hancock didn’t follow the science:
Time 1) All the time
Times 2-5) See above
Lineker , Let’s talk – MOTD is surely nearing the end of its shelf life , i fast forward the ponderous Shearer input & banal quips from other diverse contributors! So GL has been in my opinion carefully groomed into a lefty activist , I doubt he will return to punditry as he’s off & running in his new career with I guess a complete back room staff to cover the ground & kill the Tories ( with their help ) right off upto the next election in which Starmer will be in no 10 !
Mr Gum was watching some ‘highlights’ this morning …(Barnsley 3-0 against Portsmouth..come on you Red’s…..)….and said there was no commentating at all and it was heaven……then switched to Ch4 where the commentators were happily taking the pi*s about the fact that at least they had some!! LOL!
I watch URC matches on S4C – my Welsh is pants so I can just follow the match & what the ref’s saying without distraction.
Edward Dowd: “There’s a Smoking Gun in the UK Data” Among Children Aged 0 to 14
• Once the C19 shots were introduced, excess deaths across all age cohorts increased — except the 0 to 14 age group, which didn’t have vaccines available to them at the time.
• Excess mortality for the 0 to 14 group was coming down during the lockdowns because the largest single cause of death in that age cohort is accidental.
• It wasn’t until November 2021, when the injections rolled out to 5 to 11-year-olds, that the 0 to 14 age group saw a rise in excess deaths.

Nothing to see though ! We’ve got to soak up Linekers exploits which are far more important
Hope not Hate really hates TCW – we wonder why?
“A READER has alerted us to the fact that TCW features in a newly published Hope Not Hate report, Entitled ‘State of Hate 2023’, it is framed as a piece of academic research, but is more of a 132-page common-room harangue where we are lumped in with terrorist organisations.
According to this bastion of love and toleration, we, ‘the misleadingly-titled Conservative Woman’ are ‘an online conspiracy theory-oriented website with predominantly male contributors’ that ‘attracts around one million monthly views of its anti-immigration, anti-vaccine and general conspiracy theory content’. Among ‘the lowlights’ of our 2022 content are James Delingpole ‘claiming that Aids and HIV were a scam effectively concocted by Big Pharma […] to push unnecessary, expensive and dangerous medical treatments’ and an article describing Drag Queen Story Hour events as having a ‘sinister Marxist agenda’.
We are expecting a visit from Prevent next.”
Just one piece from TCW’s excellent weekly roundup series – “In case you missed it…”

Abi Roberts posted a substack article back in December 2022 about Isabel Oakeshott & Hancock. It deserves a read, lest we continue to propagate the myth that Oakeshott is on the side of truth.

Great article….and where have I been, she’s Richard Tice’s girlfriend?
I think it’s because I’ve stopped reading a lot of stuff in detail, I’m getting a bit drowned with it…that’ll teach me!!
She’s controlled opposition.
I think that coming up for air & finding a life raft occasionally is vital to our individual survival. Enough of us here to collectively have the knowledge.
It’s exhausting taking in all of the information. That’s why the cabal are rushing through change on so many fronts, to wear us out.
But she’s been on Triggernometry !!??
Hiding in plain sight.
I know I have read this Abi stack previously but it certainly deserves re-reading.
Good morning all……
I wonder which it is…LOL!
“The USA, with 4.25% of the global population, currently accounts for 44% of all covid deaths reported worldwide.
Which is more believable: covid has ended everywhere but the USA or that the USA is currently (and always has been) overcounting due to monetary/political incentives?”
https://twitter.com/Humble_Analysis/status/1633968446559096832
Conversely, China currently accounts for 0% of all COVID deaths reported worldwide.
…..in fairness this isn’t really surprising as nearly all of Asia, Africa and South America are currently in the 0 or less than 1 per 100.000 deaths…including several countries in Europe….
700 climate activists were arrested at yesterday’s demo at The Hague vs 2 from the farmers’ protest. At least the police take action in removing these divvies over here, but that’s a lot of arrests.

I have to be honest, I’m not really bothered whether Lineker stays or goes..it’s very much a storm in a teacup as far as I am concerned..but I find myself agreeing with Peter Hitchens here….

“How the Left-wing elite used Britain’s museums to distort history” – From ‘racist’ plants at Kew Gardens….
Racist plants? Horticultural decolonisation?? Oh FFS. What about all the native slaves the Romans used to cultivate their imports including such delights as apple, cherry, almond & walnut trees plus other goodies like cucumbers, celery and of course grapes? Gonna slap a colonialist label on your next Cox’ Orange Pippin or bottle of English Sparkling are you? I agree wholeheartedly with Sir John Hayes MP:
‘Tory MP Sir John Hayes responded to the announcement by saying he would look into public funding of Kew Gardens.
“This is preposterous posturing by people who are so out of touch with the sentiment of patriotic Britain,” said Hayes.
“This is typically bourgeois liberal arrogance which is ill-fitting of people that get public funding,” he added.’
