Labour has become so out of touch on sex and gender that it’s now ignoring both public opinion and the law, says Professor Jo Phoenix in the Mail. Here’s an excerpt:
I was once a member of the Labour Party – but not any more. I left in 2021, the day that David Lammy dismissed women’s rights campaigners like me as “dinosaurs… hoarding their rights”. For good measure, he claimed that men can grow a cervix.
I could see then that, on the issue of trans rights, my party had lost the plot. It had veered so wildly from what I felt was right – and frankly what the vast majority of the public feels is right – that I could no longer support it.
The Supreme Court ruling should have been a wake-up call for Labour but the party has shown itself to be hopelessly out of touch once again.
The silence from the PM on such a socially transformative ruling is tin-eared enough. But now the likes of Home Office Minister Dame Angela Eagle are plotting to thwart the judgment in a cowardly WhatsApp group of Labour MPs.
Comments like hers that “some public bodies are overreacting” to the ruling are dangerous, particularly for organisations having to implement the court’s findings.
Has the British Transport Police, in announcing it would amend its strip-search guidelines, “overreacted”? Of course not, and to say so is deliberately misleading, but it shows how deep the rot has set in.
On and on this WhatsApp group goes, its members burying their heads deeper and deeper in the sand. The Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Baroness Falkner, is branded “appalling” after she welcomed the ruling’s “clarity” in a radio interview. …
The ruling was simple: that women are a category of people who deserve respect and dignity, and trans people are a category who deserve respect and dignity. But Labour didn’t get the memo.
One day, if and when the party gets itself out of this mess, I may rejoin. But, by failing to keep up with the law, they are the ones in danger of being branded dinosaurs.

Where are you on jabbing children with Pfizer, Professor Pollard? Being a paediatrician and all?
Are you breaking with the Faucists?
I understand Pollard was head of the MHRA & advised against vaxxing kids, particularly while elderly/vulnerable people elsewhere in the world are not vaxxed. He’s now expressed the same view with respect to boosters, they shouldn’t happen while elsewhere vulnerable are unjabbed. Having expressed theses views he stood down from chairmanship of the MHRA, supposedly on the grounds of conflict of interest. The question is whether he stood down or was he pushed?
Thanks Nick. But not, they’re not justified in children and they’re dangerous… woke reasoning, for what use are these vaccines even to the old if they fade so fast and carry still unquantified risks of heart damage, inflammation and auto immune reactions.
He is moving in the right direction, but not yet brave enough.
‘Vaccines’, ‘testing’, ‘herd immunity’, ‘experts’… just word salad these days. Don’t comply. FIGHT. BACK. BETTER. Updated website with useful information and links: https://www.LCAHub.org/
I don’t get the “we can’t get herd immunity bit”. Yes, we can: once enough people get a real infection, then it looks like that will do it, *unless* the vaccines have permanently damaged peoples’ immune systems.
Yeah, I think he is following the WHOs 2020/21 revised definition sadly.
Seems he still thinks HI at the HIT means eradication.
God help us with such m*rons in power.
What it means is that we can’t have zero Covid. Coronavirus will continue to circulate as there will always be vulnerable people with weak immune systems.
Ooh he said immune system! Stone him!
Yes it looks like the “delta variant” is actually a better vaccine than the “vaccines”
I fear that this is the latest data point in a pattern where even sensible, “good” news actually gets spun with an offhand comment or two that reiterates the propaganda. Vaccination, done well, simply accelerates a natural process of herd immunity. Covid vax probably impedes the process (!) because the jabs appear to remove any pre-existing natural defences, to replace them with short-lived defence of their own manufacture.
We’ve never achieved herd immunity against the common cold coronavirus, despite pretty much everyone getting it, multiple times each.
There’s no reason – and never was – to assume that we’ll achieve herd immunity to the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus, with or without vaccines / “vaccines”.
And that’s why “vaccine passports” have nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with infection control or health.
“Otherwise we are going to be frightening ourselves with very high numbers that actually don’t translate into disease burden.”
AKA 20/21
An important precedent.
Great news!
Seconded.
That is great news to wake up to.
From small tributaries mighty rivers flow. Here’s hoping.
As an old union man, it pleases me to see trade unions doing their job during the Covid mayhem. In the US, the Association of Flight Attendants has just struck an agreement with United Airlines to allow unvaccinated cabin crew members to fly. American Airlines and Southwest Air are also not forcing their cabin crew to choose between jab or job. All three airlines are heavily unionised. From little acorns ……….
Unfortunately in the uk we are exactly three months (maximum statutory notice period) away from the implementation of the new law that will mandate jabs for workers in care homes. The reason for dismissal will simply change from non compliance with company policy to statutory bar. The trade unions aren’t doing anything about this.
If we’re now being told that we should stop testing, then the next few months is probably when testing will actually show something interesting… that doesn’t support government policy.
Great point. Anyway we are in a climate emergency interlude to give us the mistaken impression that we are getting out of the pandemic before some new escape variant caused by this fake vaccine starts killing people, probably younger vaccinated people requiring the booster campaign this winter and the push for vaccine passports….
Has mass testing not already shown plenty of interest? Whatever the data might show two weeks after a second jab, from the moment you are first stabbed up until two weeks after your second stabbing you are more likely to be infected by sars-cov-2, more likely to transmit it and, quite possibly, more likely to develop covid from it. And, having already developed natural immunity to sars-cov-2, before being stabbed doesn’t seem to make much difference, whereas natural immunity, uncontaminated by the non vaccines appears to be much more reliable.
Wow Will – where’s the data for the last bit? I missed that.
Are natural immunes getting symptomatic illness post stab? Not just positive tests?
I have a fear that we’re going to see asymptomatic infections in the vaccinated that last much longer than seen normally.
The vaccines appear to suppress symptoms (asymptomatic) but suppress the innate immune system so that the virus can’t be cleared (longer infections).
These longer term asymptomatic infected-vaccinated would then act as a reservoir for the infection, stopping case loads dropping to low levels, as is often seen after each covid wave (where there isn’t a new variant along to liven things up).
Mass testing of asymptomatics would identify this. Cutting down on testing won’t.
The other impact of this would be some of the asymptomatic infected-vaccinated progressing to severe covid without a mild-symptomatic stage first — we would see this in the hospitalisation data only they don’t allow us to see the data. We might start hearing anecdotal reports from medics on social media, if they’re not silenced first.
Hope … despair … hope … despair
Don’t sign up for it. Keep the pressure on the psychopaths.
And what effin’ good do Nazipapiere do, eh?
Sehr gut zum Arsch wischen
Good old Google Translate to the rescue 🙂
Controlled propaganda from the Torygraph
But an interesting sojourn from the normal claptrap
It wasn’t the headline, but the same quotes were reported by the BBC…
what the actual fuck? not being able to stop transmission means herd immunity is the only possibilty you blithering fucking idiot. Stop trying to rewrite science with your stupidity.
Agree 100%.
And of course the genuine public health risk is totally ignored,
The endless round of narrative shifting goes on unabated while the clueless masses devour the fear porn, now we shift seamlessly back to the climate scam.
Hang on, chap. We’ve never achieved herd immunity against the common cold coronavirus, because it does a bang up job of replicating in our upper airways and jumping to a new host before our immune systems clean it up.
Now it looks like the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus is going the same way, whether we have resistance (not immunity) to it from vaccines/”vaccines”, a previous dose of it, or from a previous related coronavirus infection.
There’s no reason that we should ever have believed otherwise.
The stupidity is the push for “vaccine passports” and the nonsensical claim that vaccination apartheid has anything to do with infection control or health.
After 18 months of fear porn and hysteria this suddenly happens? WTF???
I had to watch it 3 times as it was so against all the alarmist bullshit constantly fed to the public!
So where does this leave the “jab everyone with a pulse” brigade?
Makes me wonder if they’re now shitting themselves about ADE this coming winter?
Something, somewhere has happened.
There will be ADE deaths this Autumn / Winter and probably significant numbers.
I doubt there is any panic among the globalists just yet.
Some ministers might be getting twitchy bottoms.
Heart attacks running above usual levels, I see, in one of the most vaccinated nations…
This guy is going to get “disappeared” or, deplatformed, or defamed.
We can’t have have reason doing it’s dirty work of delegitimising the absolute necessity of vaccine passports.
He can speak truth to power but there’s no guarantee they will listen.
In fact I suspect they will interpret it as “more lockdowns”.
There is no excess mortality (and hasn’t been for many months). There is no excessive pressure on the nhs except for the one of their own making (ie by denying a service to so many for so long). The terrible threat of the new scariants is the stuff of science fiction (already proven by the lacklustre performance of the delta variant). There is no pandemic. Time for the masses to grow a backbone and get back to the old normal.
There is excess morality, from heart disease. See news round up.
But it’s harder to use heart disease as an excuse for fascist tyranny.

They also don’t work against death or serious illness. They are just, expensive AND dangerous, snake oil.
Of which the EU has ordered 1.8 billion more doses already, so 4 for everyone over the next 2 years.
Enjoy.
We all know why they are really administered and what the real goal behind all this is.
This Dr. explains why in this article dissecting Pfizer trial data and the linked prior articles by him.
Note, that the Pfizer trial was not completely blind: the patients knew whether they were on the ‘vaccine’ or a placebo, which renders much side effect data useless.
They are saying ‘herd immunity’ cannot be achieved but they mean ‘zero Covid’ can’t be achieved but they can’t admit that was their aim all along, and being ‘experts’ it takes them ten times as long as your average Joe to realise the bleeding obvious.
Exactly. They and Joe Public still understand HI as being Zero Covid kicking in once the magic HIT has been reached.
Total m*rons.
Or evil.
Very acute comment.
Agreed!
They come to a better conclusion, but still don’t understand what herd immunity is and isn’t and still totally neglect the animals role in that anyway.
The impossibility was clear from the start to everyone who cared to read up oin the 4 principles for a successful vaccination, see Paul Cullen.
Funny isn’t it, now some scientists start talking sense the government ignores them, but when they’ve been shouting panic they get listend to.
Also, has anyone noticed how the WHO’s retconning of the meaning of “Herd Immunity” is playing in to this. By pretending herd immunity relies on vaccination, it doesn’t solely, they can say it will never be reached. In reality herd immunity can come from infection or vaccination and it seems these vaccines for this disease don’t really contribute to it, vax stops serious symptoms but has zero effect on transmission. Variolation* of the young made sense in 2020 and still makes sense now, reserve vaccines for those really needing them to stop serious symptoms (that means old folks in poor countries too), let the young catch the virus. Then the young can be the effective herd immunity reservoir to stop spread, the old have the vax incase they catch it anyway. It seems to make sense to variolate* careworkers, they are mostly young enough to handle the virus fine, and the important thing for them is not to pass it on to the vulnerable (though that hardly matters now the vulnerable are vaxxed).
The easiest way to achieve the variolation campaign is called normality, no new abnormal, no government diktats, no ID cards, no trap and trace, no antisocial distancing…
*posh word, but means deliberately allow mild infection for the sake of generating immunity now rather than risking worse infection later
If they were smart, they would accept that the facts have changed most obviously with regard to the vaccines efficiency and instead of peddling their testing nonsense, let alone their continued administration of and coercion into having the gunk, they would stop it and then sell the program as a success because it has created, or rather enabled the fast and wide spread, of the harmless Delta variant.
But they are so deep in their holes that they can’t even see that.
And they would obviously have to revise their lie that the unvaccinated created that variant and its spread, but noone believes that anymore anyway, and noone states it anymore outside of the most evil peddlers of that nonsense, like Fauci in the US and Soeder&co in Germany.
Perhaps they’re planning ahead having realised that they’ll be up in court, so they are working out their defensive position! Only dreaming, perhaps.
The Professor’s advice sounds remarkably like the advice given to people for the whole of human history pre March 2020 for all respiratory illnesses: get help if you are ill but do not worry too much if you are not ill.
“Vaccines don’t stop transmission and won’t give herd immunity, so lets stop testing “ ???
how about “the vaccine don’t stop transmission and won’t give herd immunity, so stop the vax”
seems fairly straightforward really, that is of course if one is looking for a solution.
Definitely, if the real aim here is not to make lots of money for big pharma and/or push digital ID agenda etc then logical thing to do would be to stop mass vaccination, accept that transmission can’t be stopped and prioritise investigating cheap treatments that can reduce deaths.
The fact that Australia are doing the opposite and censoring HCQ & Ivermectin mentions and trying to increase ‘vaccine’ uptake confirms once again that ‘conspiracy theorists’ may well be correct.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-58168048
The term “conspiracy theorist” has been replaced with “spoiler alert”.
Notice Pollard says that ‘everyone unvaccinated WILL eventually get infected: he omits to say that the vast majority of the unvaccinated are already immune!
he also omits to say that the vaccinated will continue to get infected.
Also that the majority of unvaccinated will still have no symptoms, unlike the common cold
The unvaccinated achieved endemic equilibrium on Boxing Day 2020 and didn’t balls up their natural immunity with a leaky prophylactic.
Hmm….
This seems a bit weak to me. Talking about herd immunity in this way is strange as that’s not what herd immunity really is.
Also saying it will still spread in the unvaxxed when it will spread in the vaxxed too.
Definitely a good sign but he’s still pulling his punches.
Nothing new here. I said this over a year ago in letters to the Health Secretary, the chair of the parliamentary select committee and the APPG, from none of whom did I get any acknowledgement. Still, the message is finally getting through, which is satisfying in a way. It underlines the need to have informed clinicians on planning committees, but the recent College of Physicians report on hospital care ignores treatment of severe disease (in a medical sense). If even the clinicians cannot grasp the truth then Houston, we have a problem.
Houston IS the problem 🙂
Has anyone checked Lord snooty under his bridge?
So will these experts and the media now apologize for the way they have treated Sunetra Gupta and colleagues who have pointed out that the emperor wears no clothes?
Didn’t think so.
Sajid said Covid boosters would start next month? Is this because the first two simply don’t work, cause serious adverse events and deaths in all age groups and not enough people were harmed? So let’s give a booster. There is a copy of a Pfizer contract made with a country on Twitter. Makes for an alarming read. If every health authority around the world are genuinely concerned about Covid they would allow early treatments as described by Drs Peter McCullough, Tess Lawrie, Pierre Kory, Harvey Risch, Ryan Cole, Simone Gold and the hundreds of other doctors using or recommending these treatments with repurposed drugs successfully in early treatment. Our governments have signed contracts that prohibit them from what? Read the contract with Pfizer.
Total and utter madness. Definition of madness (or one of them): keep doing something that is known not to work ad infinitum in the vain hope that it will work. Despite it not working. Then ramp up doing this thing in the extremely vain hope that it might work. We, most of us here, know that we live in crazy times governed by madmen but the question is how do we get it to stop?
It is because they have already ordered at least 4 doses per citizen for the next 2 years.
The EU has ordered 1.8 billion doses for 450 million citizens.
And we can’t disappoint the Pfizer shareholders can we? I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing their dividends might be affected.
I haven’t read the contract but if it contains a clause requiring the cabal to prevent the use of existing medicines the options would be:
Hmm.
Stop testing, experts tell MP’s, ie stop listening to the previous science. It has been a nice little earner though which they seem reluctant to let go of
3 words…..
GREAT BARRINGTON DECLARATION
if these fuckers had listened and followed the real science we would not have destroyed our economy, created a tsunami of mental health issues, killed or injured thousands with dodgy so called medical treatments and worst of all, divided society in a possibly irredeemable way.
My thoughts to the letter. Did Prof Pollard offer any hint of gratitude to those behind the GBD…..thought not.
We have had too many false dawns to let this go to our heads, I know, but I’m taking this little ‘win’. I read quite a few of the comments underneath the article as well and I really think more and more people are coming around to our point of view. At the same time in the Daily Mail there was an article about young men being more at risk from myocarditis from the Pfizer Jab……more drip drip drip…..let’s hope it continues.
on a lighter note…it seems to have knobbled our usual vax trolls who are obvious by their absence!
I live in hope. Sometimes hope is all there is and I..er…hope it’s not in vain. It does feel like a ‘win’ but I’ve observed how the ‘authorities’ tend to ignore evidence when it is presented in the bright light of day, even when garlanded with flowers with a full Busby Berkeley chorus line singing ‘Hallelujah’. Again, no debate, no discussion, we’re all delusional dimwits, conspiradroids, antijabbers etc etc etc even the highly esteemed scientists who have chosen to sacrifice their reputations, careers, tenures, ability to earn an income, mortgages, families etc for a quick stab at fame, apparently. It’s this stonewalling that seems so frustratingly endless. We need a stonemason to take this wall down…
Or a sledgehammer…
Oh I agree….we already know that they’ve got a contract for the ‘vaxx-pass’…but we must take wins when we can if nothing else just to get us ready for the next fight…the thing I’m hoping is that once these things are out there, they’re out, they can’t be unseen by Joe Public.
“The concept of herd immunity is unachievable because we know the infection will spread in unvaccinated populations and the latest data is suggesting that two doses is probably only 50% protective against infection.”
Which, being interpreted, means that the pre-2020 definition of herd immunity, based on immunity after infection, should be reinstated, and the novel idea that only vaccines produce it should be ditched. It’s perverse to re-define an established concept and then say it’s unachievable when your new definition fails.
Yes and so what should happen now is they stop pressure to vaccinate teenagers and young people, stop testing in schools and allow spread, get rid of track and trace and vaccine passports are totally useless. But I don’t think these things will happen, they will continue on their path of vax everyone, blame unvaccinated and deny natural immunity.
And extend testing to all and everywhere again.
Far too good a business to let go.
The reasoning is their newest lie.
It isn’t unachievable because it still spreads amongst the unvaxxed.
It’s unachievable because they a) don’t understand what it is and are chasing zero Covid instead and b) their mass vaccination program has created and is creating ever more variants against which the gunk doesn’t work at all and c) the virus also spreads among animals and from them to humans.
This lie is so obvious and enraging, because they are actually confirming it as one in the sentence before they state it, when they finally admit that the virus still spreads massively amongst the vaxxed too.
Where is their mentioning of natural immunity!! It can only spread amongst any population, vaccinated or unvaccinated for so long until those people have gained immunity from infection. I am so sick of this natural immunity denial from them.
Telegraph comments are brilliant
Benefits for disabled people is an interesting one, sounds like a socialised system of insurance in case you are hurt of born with issues preventing you from working or working to a level to contribute fully.
I think an argument can be made for only socialising things that need to be so and privately insuring/saving against other things. Disabled being the most likely to incur ire if you suggest this but there are a lot of similarities to other ‘free’ services.
Single white male tax payer, with no kids, no benefits, no perks, fully employed and have been all my adult life here. I pay a great deal so that other people’s children can go to school, get health care (regardless of how they treat their bodies), have as many children as they can’t afford etc.
While it may not be great for society if we made education less ‘free’ (nothing is free, someone is paying) there could very well be a discussion to be had. Less government, more personal responsibility, etc etc.
Arguably, I lose freedom when I am forced to give up the fruits of my labour.
The sound of millions of hands face palming around the world today if deafening.
WE TOLD YOU SO.
Comment from here:

“Future Covid control measures should only apply to the most vulnerable, a member of Sage has said. ”
You mean like the Great Barrington Declaration?
Why do the vulnerable have to be controlled?
They are free people too, and can decide perfectly well for themselves how to deal with it.
Yes, but should they wish to isolate for 3 months while HI is reached (as could have been done in March last year) I wouldn’t object to some of the billions wasted having gone there. It could be worded differently for sure.
I’m sure there were protection measures in the BGD, not ‘control’ as you say.
The GBD as far as i can remember didn’t say the vulnerable must be protected but only if they chose to be. My BIL didn’t get that though and being in his late 70s thought following the GBD would mean he couldn’t get out and about as he wished so he was against it.
Stop testing is the advice? Stop vaccinating should have been the advice! The vaccines’ short-term side-effects are terrible and the vaccines don’t make any difference, they are basically crap. The people that might have had some benefit from them died a long time ago. To believe that as a society we can control and even suppress natural processes such as a virus is such immense hubris, that only the current crop of spineless narcissist leaders could have based their catastrophic health policies on it….and then feel the need to cover up their epic mistake once the results become plain to see.
Oh but are you suggesting Boris Johnson can’t control nature? How shocked he will be to learn that!
Well, he certainly can’t control his own natural impulses so maybe he already has an inkling of his impotence…
It does often seem to be the folks with the most children who are keenest on population controls!
The Population Problem: “Just the right number of me, way too many of you.”
Next phase..
Retreat slowly from covid.. and progress to climate change lockdowns
On Newsnight, Kirsty Wark posed the possibility of government banning people from using their car or eating meat for 3 or 4 days per week. In response, the Labour politician said whilst that was not the policy they would implement immediately; they would not rule it out.
Covid is now part of the reform of society, to give us a Chinese style credit system and to restrict energy use because Greta. The collective narrative is now ‘more important’ than individual freedom. And pig dictator damaged man-boy Boris, his teenage Rockerfeller girlfriend, his wife-beating Rockerfeller Agenda 21 creating dad and Ponce Charles etc want to save ‘their’ planet. We only have 12 years before it is hotter than a soldering iron and all the polar bears drown. Dontcha know.
People on here like to think that Desmond Swayne or Charles Walker will save them.. no. I met Swayne. He is all hair and ego.. he votes for climate change stuff.. he ‘believes’ in it.. he votes to take away benefits from disabled people.. all the stuff Boris or Cameron or coke snorting prostitute fucking Gideon votes or voted for he has voted or votes for. Just on lockdowns he has been in ‘opposition’.
We are still very much fucked.
The ‘vaccines’ are nothing more than a money-making scam. No vaccine = you haven’t helped Big Pharma to make a profit, so you will be punished.

BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS!
This is only released as part of the plan
We knew everything in this article at least this time last year.
WHAT HE LEFT OUT!
Herd immunity does exist albeit temporarily, like with flu (yknow the disease was put on par with BEFORE first lockdown) each year.
ALSO
As the virus has, alleged, animal reservoirs (bat’s mainly) there van be no eradication of this virus.
So all of this was for at least to make more money and at worst to get more totalitarian control further down the line.
DID YOU KNOW
The common cold we have. Ow allegedly came from a camel.
GET OUT AND LIVE YOUR LIFE
Really who knew? That vaccines ever have never stopped transmission or infection of viruses or any illness.
Hello! Wake up!…my goodness
These doctors are cunningly fooling people and the Daily Sceptic doesn’t seem to discern it…or don’t want it.
This is another article to promote the erroneous theory that ‘variants’ are dangerous and to promote the erroneous idea that due to these ‘variants’, people will have to take constant regular ‘boasters’.
Remember that C19 doesn’t exist because it fails Koch Postulates, therefore EVERYTHING ELSE IS A LIE!!!
Renowed epidemiologist professors Dolores Cahill & Sucharit Bhakdi already instructed us that VARIANTS ARE NEVER DANGEROUS!!!…
