The Jewish Chronicle has published a blistering essay by a non-Jewish academic about the alarming levels of anti-semitism she encounters on a daily basis at her university. It’s an anonymous piece because she doesn’t want to be targeted by ‘anti-Zionist’ loons on her campus, but every bit rings true. It begins:
As a non-Jewish lecturer at a major university, I can confirm that British academia is structurally racist against Jews. The penny finally dropped as I was second-marking a piece of undergraduate writing in which Jews were openly compared to scurrying vermin, spreading disease.
The student’s illiterate use of grammar, nonsensical punctuation and mixed metaphors would surely have embarrassed Goebbels. But Hitler’s arch propagandist would just as surely have approved of the spirit of the piece. Not that this was a uniquely awful specimen of the kind of “work” I’ve had to face as first and second marker of a large cohort of students since the horror of October 7th.
A different piece, produced by a student in the same year group, accused its readers, in the foulest language, of complicity with “genocide” and of “sleeping” while the IDF killed innocent civilians for target practice.
The obvious Jew-hatred of these pieces of writing were one thing. But then there were the comments of the first academic who had marked them, which praised the “Jews-as-vermin” piece as a moving indictment of Israeli “colonisation” that displayed a fine philosophical turn of phrase and a carefulness of language. As for the “genocide” piece, my colleague reassured the student that his message was deeply important.
This, in a nutshell, is the problem: not the fact that immature, 20-year-old students have been brought up on a diet of hating the West, hating Jews and unashamedly milking their self-declared victim status, but the fact that this pernicious nonsense is actively encouraged, praised and taught by the academy – and has been for decades. Ever since the late 1960s, higher education in the West has been infiltrated by a steady stream of nefarious actors, who claim victimhood and make allegations of “Islamophobia” on the one hand and spout racist hate speech against Jews on the other. The ultimate bait-and-switch.
The academics in question may not be paid agitators but they nonetheless fall over themselves to support one kind of non-white student (any kind of Muslim) over other kinds of minority non-white student (Jews or Christians from Africa, Israel, or elsewhere in the Middle East), no matter the hypocrisies involved.
I ask myself, for example, how the academic who had praised the diatribes would have responded to a piece of coursework in which Muslims in Britain were depicted as diseased vermin? Would said student have been given a first-class mark, as was the proposed grade here? The answer, for those of you asleep at the back, is no: the student would have been hauled up before an anti-racism panel and referred to Prevent before you could say “parody”.
Yet when I suggested a lower grade for the student in question (based on the woeful quality of the piece, rather than the racist slurs) and commented that the work that was uneducated at best, offensive at worst – which, after all, was my job as their tutor – my feedback was removed by the university lest there be negative public repercussions. As a compromise, a high 2:1 was awarded instead.
In my decades as a lecturer, I’ve often seen the bigotry of low expectations masquerading as positive discrimination, which no one in my line of work seems to care is still unlawful in the UK. But since October 7th, a new low in racist cognitive dissonance seems to have become commonplace.
Teaching people that “Palestine” was originally Muslim until it was colonised by Jews is so wrong, factually and historically as well as morally, that even as a non-Jewish academic, I can no longer keep quiet.
Worth reading in full.

I heard James Delingpole and Toby Young chatting about Jeremy Corbyn and Gina Miller starting two new political parties?
Oh God, when thou doest thine punishment, thou doest it real good. Wherefore doest thou these things?
Jeremy Corbyn is a bag of very mixed up notions. He’s against the Cabal and, more pertinently, against the way they use their ownership of central banks to rule Western democracies. But yet he’s a Communist and if he got enough power in the UK he’d introduce a full-blown Soviet style dictatorship.
Basically, what Corbyn believes is that if he painted over the stripes on a zebra, it would become a horse.
Then we have Gina Miller and her new party, which has the lovely endearing and adorable name, True & Fair Party. I imagine it took a crew of intellectuals a month of Sundays to dream this collegiate nomenclature up.
Imagine a group of 6-year-old footballer’s having a spat on the village green on a Saturday afternoon. An old lady might approach them and tell them she’ll help solve the dispute by organising them into two True & Fair parties – this would resonate with the kids and distract them.
Gina Miller studied law at what is now the University of East London, but quit just before doing her final exams. Couldn’t hack it, I assume, and thought it better to quit than fail. And, believe me, for an ethnic minority person to be too unintelligent to gain an affirmative actioned law degree in the UK, they have to be really dumb.
But Millar did gain a degree in marketing and an MSc in human resource management at the University of East London.
But now for the proof of the intelligence we’re dealing with: Gina Miller says she quit her law course just before the final exams because she was attacked by fellow students. Hmmmmmmmm, law students in the late 1980’s UK generally were not of the football hooligan types.
And Millar did get her degree in marketing and an MSc in human resource management at the same University of East London. So, she quit her law course in this university because of being attacked by students in it, but yet returned to it and studied for her degree and MSc in it.
Are we to believe that her violent attackers were all law students, and as long as she stayed away from the law studies area, she’d be safe? Or is Millar’s tale a fatuous one.
What’s really sad about the modern UK is that inadequacies like Jeremy Corbyn and Gina Miller will actually get a lot of support for their new parties. They’ll split the vote and leave the country a backward hodgepodge of coalitions.
Perhaps the answer to my second question above lies in the type of man that the modern UK educational system produces? ⇩
If you have to participate in the charade & vote, vote for an independent.
And, of course, absolutely avoid the LibLabGreenCon.
‘True and Fair’ sounds like a really bad name for a political party – the moment she/they make one inaccurate statement it will become ‘Untrue and Unfair’.
I’m reminded of the Islamist party in Turkey whose name is usually translated in English as “Felicity Party”.

David Sassoli: European Parliament president dies aged 65 – BBC News
Oi, you lot at the BBC get with the programme
He did not die
He just had a ‘medical episode’
‘Mr Sassoli was admitted to hospital in Italy last month due to a serious complication with his immune system.’
‘Sassoli was also a high-level proponent of the EU’s digital Covid-19 certificate – which records individuals’ coronavirus testing, vaccination, and infection history – calling it “a symbol of what Europe stands for” while unveiling the project with fellow EU leaders last summer.’
Russia Today
He had had pneumonia secondary to legionella (bacterial) infection back in September, he then had a relapse appeared to be recovering but was rehospitalised on 26th December, where he subsequently died, probably from sepsis.
Sepsis is a complication of the immune system, in that there is an overreaction resulting in reduced blood pressure, leaky capillaries and unless treated promptly has a high mortality rate, and even then it may be too late.
I know this from personal experience, my mother was taken into hospital on a Saturday after feeling unwell, Sunday seemed to be improving when I saw her, deteriorated Sunday evening and died in ITU Monday afternoon from sepsis.
Was he being watched by a couple of prison guards?
Far be it for me to tell them but the Australian Dictatorship needs to move on
Instead of throwing a hissy fit because they cannot deport Jovak they should be concentrating on the upcoming tennis tournament
For example, do they have a plan in place for when one of Jovaks opponents keels over on court from a vaccine induced heart attack or blood clot?
Well for the first time ever, I’m now fully getting behind Djokovic to win this tournament. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets. I’m predicting a positive one. But I really want him to kick arse and in doing so, send a two-fingered salute to the Nazi establishment over there! And what was Federer’s stance on all of this palarver? He seemed to stay quiet and therefore suitably neutral. How I’d love to see Nadal get his arse kicked by Novak! So disappointed in him.
I’ve never once used hand santitizer, masks, social distanced, or wiped a single surface in fear of covid in the last 2 years!
Idiot.
Yep – a very mixed egg, Stanley!
President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, has died of Immune Complications. Why the hell can they not admit it is Covid related?Yer, I know Because.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-11/eu-parliament-chief-david-sassoli-dies-of-immune-complications
Spain is looking at changes in strategy implemented for Covid.
First it has purchased a new drug called Paxlovid. 344000 doses to be precise. This is taken orally by adults who have mild to moderate infection and are at high risk of their illness worsening, before any eventual hospitalisation. Made by Pfizer.
The Spanish government is also planning on rules to limit the retail price of antigen tests.
He also refuses to make vaccination mandatory and defends the outdoor mask.
There are plans plans to evaluate the Covid as the flu . There are a lot of buts to this Links are in Spanish. Take your pick as all report this with small variations.

As long as governments recommend masks, especially outdoors, I do not hail any reduction of measures as success for us.
Here’s the canary in the mine (in my opinion):
ONS publishes deaths by age group in England & Wales on a WEEKLY basis – presumably to scare the daylights out of us.
But they won’t supply the latest birth and still-born rates. The last data they have supplied was up to March 2021. From that point on, of course, women of child-bearing age (and men wanting to have children) were starting to take the Vaxx. A coincidence?
No studies have been published on the long-term effect on sterility, fertility, pregnancies and miscarriages. But there are lots of studies showing that the spike protein generated by the Vaxx accumulate in the ovaries.
Me thinks that UK birth rates aren’t the same as they were in previous years. So my last Freedom of Information request for this data was met with a “No – you can’t have this data.” Some guff about “…subject to a public interest test”. Huh? Whose interest?!
Try it yourself: send to foi.team@ons.gov.uk:
To whom it may concern
Can you send me the latest data of “Births and Still-birth in England & Wales” for 2020 and 2021 (in the form of a CSV or Excel file). Alternatively, can you send me the link on the ONS.gov.uk website where I can find this?
This is a request in terms of the Freedom of Information Act https://www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request/how-to-make-an-foi-request. Thank you in anticipation.
Here’s an extract from their email response to my last request:
“The Child and infant mortality in England and Wales: 2019 release is the most up to date publication that we have published. The 2020 publication will be released in February 2022.”
That’s 12 months in arrears. At one of the most important and historic moments in human history? Criminal.
“If we want to be scientific, we should talk about the immune and the non-immune.”
Immune/non immune against what exactly?
He should win a prize for making our politicians look like the fucking idiots they are.
another disgraceful article in Daily Express “anti vaxxers are as dumb as breeze blocks”https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1547968/anti-vaxxers-covid-19-vaccine-deniers-pfizer-astra-zeneca-covid-deaths-today#conversation-wrapper. Please complain to Independant Press Standards Office https://www.ipso.co.uk/complain/
I am so offended, I know comments have a certain liberty to express an opinion, but this article drips of vile. It was obviously written as a piece to offend, and I can imagine the author sitting behind his computer and trying to come up with phrases which are just horrendous. I do not often complain to authorities, but this time I have sent a lengthy complaint to Ipso, not that it will do any good.
I have copied the abstract of a paper dated 2016
Kauffman KJ, Webber MJ, Anderson DG. Materials for non-viral intracellular delivery of messenger RNA therapeutics. J Control Release. 2016 Oct 28;240:227-234
Abstract
Though therapeutics based on messenger RNA (mRNA) have broad potential in applications such as protein replacement therapy, cancer immunotherapy, and genomic engineering, their effective intracellular delivery remains a challenge. A chemically diverse suite of delivery materials with origins as materials for cellular transfection of DNA and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has recently been reported to have promise as non-viral delivery agents for mRNA. These materials include covalent conjugates, protamine complexes, nanoparticles based on lipids or polymers, and hybrid formulations. This review will highlight the use of delivery materials for mRNA, with a specific focus on their mechanisms of action, routes of administration, and dosages. Additionally, strategies in which these materials can be adapted and optimized to address challenges specific to mRNA delivery are also discussed. The technologies included have shown varying promise for therapeutic use, specifically having been used to deliver mRNA in vivo or exhibiting characteristics that could make in vivo use a possibility. In so doing, it is the intention of this review to provide a comprehensive look at the progress and possibilities in applying nucleic acid delivery technology specifically toward the emerging area of mRNA therapeutics. (my highlights).
This is the index of the journal that the above paper was part of, unfortunately it is behind a paywall, but you can see the titles of the papers that have been included, and there are causes for concern, particularly crossing the blood/brain barrier.

This is a paper from 2018 mRNA vaccines — a new era in vaccinology (nih.gov) this is open access. It may be worthwhile reading the first few paragraphs.
What is the significance of this? I don’t understand.
Some background to mRNA and mechanisms to transport it.
