Insulate Britain Protestors “Delayed Ambulance by Nearly an Hour”

by Toby Young
23 April 2022 12:00 PM

Insulate Britain protests caused an ambulance to be delayed by nearly an hour, a court has heard. The Telegraph has more.

Climate protesters repeatedly brought the M25 to a standstill last September, and the impact of their actions emerged on Friday as three people admitted causing a public nuisance.

On September 15th, the protestors blocked the motorway at Junction 25 between 08:11 and 11:46 and caused a blockage of 43,952 vehicles with a loss of 5,644 vehicle hours at a financial cost of £83,452.

Prosecutor David Earl told Stratford magistrates’ court that an ambulance was 55 minutes late to a chest pain emergency callout and a funeral director was 30 minutes late to a funeral.

Referring to an earlier protest on September 13 at Junction 14 of the M25, Mr Earl said: “The duration was between 08:43 and 11:41. It is estimated that 42,970 vehicles were affected with 1,449 vehicle hours lost and it is calculated that the financial impact was £62,669.

“There is evidence of impact to the public. A woman, who was two hours late to visit her 95-year-old mother who had a fall while she was waiting; a tutor of special needs students and other teachers who were delayed in attending work and disruption was caused to students of those lessons.

“There was also a pilot who missed his flight to Gibraltar which had to be rescheduled.”

Sue Spencer-Longhurst, 69, of Oxford, along with Michelle Charlesworth, 55, and Meredith Williams, 51, both of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, admitted two counts of causing a public nuisance.

Worth reading in full.

I suspect pregnant or soon to be pregnant women will vote on this with their feet (or arms…) and unless I’m really missing the pulse of things, it won’t be in support of the study.

Natural selection will do the rest.

“THE SCIENCE…”

…Operate at warped speed to pander to a fake pandemic narrative

…De-prioritise teratology studies, routine in medicines evaluation since the thalidomide tragedy of over 60 years ago

…Expect no unforeseen consequences and find none

No other way of putting it – Australian doctor, William McBride, who first made public the birth defects attributable to thalidomide, and Dr Frances Oldham Kelsey of the FDA, whom history credits with saving expectant American mothers from a tragedy unfolding in Europe, will be spinning in their graves.

Current scientific establishment too captured by its own hubris to look back on the lessons of a past it feels so superior to. Nemesis is diligently watching.

|The study shows thsat all the women who were unaffected by the “vaccine” were unaffected by the “vaccine”. I can do studies with 100% outcomes using that methodology, please can I have my money now.

I hardly have to persuade any here not to trust clinical trials.

They removed Maddie de Garay from the Moderna trial so they didn’t have to declare her extreme adverse reactions. Convenient that. They also left her to rot and reneged on the medical assistance promised when she signed her release form.

For a thorough review of the tricks employed, may I recommend Doctoring Data by Malcolm Kendrick.

An excellent book by an honest doctor. He also sees statins as doing more harm than good and describes the trial results as basically crap. He also won his defamation case against a Mail on Sunday hatchet job.

You’ve really got to be seriously dim to allow yourself to be injected with the gunk when pregnant.

The default advice given with all jabs pre Covid was not to be given to pregnant women.

Yet this article is still up on Spiked, written by an academic at the Uni of Kent, Sept 2022.

Is it an offence to publish misleading medical advice?

Why has the fertility rate fallen? Why have issues with pregnancies skyrocketed?

More junk $cience studies by the paper mill$ of $cientism. No virus. Scam/plandemic. Pilot project.

Why the hell would a pregnant woman stab herself with poisoned shit, when she knows that alcohol, drugs and other toxins are anathema for a healthy child and birth?

Idiocy.

If the study’s authors are not even aware that only women can be pregnant …

This study makes no sense because I thought we were assured that the jabs were totally safe and effective in pregnancy 3 years ago?

We lost a child in 2022 when my wife was about three months pregnant. My wife had taken three covid injections before becoming pregnant. On the day when the scan couldn’t find a heartbeat for our unborn bav I saw a succession of heartbroken women in floods of tears leaving the pre-natal unit after their scans. My wife texted me from inside the unit as NHS coves rules prevented ne from being with her for the ukrrasound to tell me they couldn’t find a heartbeat. My wife came out of the unit and told me the person performing the ultra

Just the reference to transgender people with the possibility of becoming pregnant as obviously not possible should undermine any validity in the study, along with all the very thorough list of other deficiencies you have identified.
