  • “Three quarters of Jewish people think BBC’s coverage of Gaza war is biased against Israel” – A Jewish Chronicle poll shows that 77% of Jewish people surveyed regard the BBC’s reporting of the war as biased against Israel, with only 11% thinking its coverage is impartial, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Genocide and Jews at Harvard” – The double standards and triple speak that have overrun elite academia showed their truest colours at a recent congressional hearing in Washington – and the firestorm that has followed may actually matter, writes Alex Berenson on Substack.
  • “Penn Uni loses $100 million donation over antisemitism hearing” – A University of Pennsylvania donor is withdrawing a gift worth around $100 million after the Penn President’s unsatisfactory response to antisemitism on campus, according to Axios.

  • “The Hallet Inquiry: The credible asymptomatic evidence from Germany that wasn’t so credible.” – On day one of Boris Johnson’s testimony, Hugo Keith KC said there was credible evidence of asymptomatic transmission from Germany. But, the evidence from Germany wasn’t credible at all, say Prof. Carl Heneghan and Dr. Tom Jefferson on Substack.
  • “Kevin McKernan’s MEGA account restored, minus NZ Covid vax data” – Kevin McKernan’s account with the file hosting service MEGA has been ‘partially’ restored after it was closed due to an injunction by the New Zealand Ministry of Health, says Rebekah Barnett on Substack.
  • “Miscarriage after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination” – On Substack, the Naked Emperor takes issue with a new study that reports higher miscarriage rates after vaccination but still says the vaccine is safe.
  • “Covid vaccines produce random junk proteins thanks to an ‘invention’ which coincidentally won the Nobel Prize” – Would you like to get a mystery shot which would make your body produce random, rubbishy proteins for an indeterminate amount of time? Turns out, mRNA Covid vaccines have precisely that effect, says Igor Chudov on Substack.
  • “Ousting Sunak would be ‘insanity’, Tories told, as Rwanda Commons defeat looms” – The Conservative Party Chairman has warned it would be “insanity” to oust Rishi Sunak before the next election as the Prime Minister faces a House of Commons defeat on his new Rwanda Bill, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Tories must think we’re idiots to believe Rwanda won’t let us leave the ECHR” – In the Telegraph, Andrew Tettenborn questions the coherence of Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda Bill.
  • “Children as young as 11 reported to Government’s anti-terror programme” – Children as young as 11 are being reported to the Government’s ‘Prevent’ anti-terror programme, including hundreds aged 14 and under, according to the Mail. Needless to say, the majority are designated as ‘far Right‘.
  • “An ill wind that harms state schools too” – Labour’s proposal to impose VAT on private school fees will cost the taxpayer money, argues Mr. Chips on Substack.

  • “There is nothing ‘anti-racist’ about identitarian activism” – Why has the perennially divisive Shola Mos-Shogbamimu been given an honorary doctorate, asks Rakib Ehsan in Spiked.
  • “Trans extremism has been erasing gay people, and Kemi has been brave enough to say it” – In the Telegraph, Julie Bindel heaps praise on Kemi Badenoch for reminding Parliament that Stonewall “does not decide the law in this country”.
  • “At Harvard, ‘fatphobia’ constitutes violence. But ‘globalise the intifada’ requires context” – On X, the Free Press’s Maya Sulkin notes that the ‘safety first’ approach of American universities is jettisoned when it comes to calls for genocide against Jews.

At Harvard, "fatphobia" constitutes violence.
But "globalize the intifada" requires context.

The “vaccine” myth has been exploded as far as I am concerned so Murderna can try to censor as much as they like, It’s too late.

Don’t report me to Humza Yousaf, but my two favourite Scottish jokes:

What’s the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney? Bing sings… but Walt disnae.

Guy goes into a bakery and points to a beautiful white creation in the display cabinet. “Is that a cake or a meringue?”, he asks. “No, you’re right, it’s a cake”, replies the baker.

“The same percentage as those who considered the BBC to be biased — 77 per cent — said the government was ‘not doing enough to tackle Islamist hate preachers'”

From the JC article. That’s the unequivocally pro-Israel government with a mass migration problem which we are supposed to believe is an Islamic takeover. The governments friends in Israel don’t seem to be having these particular issues?It’s not an island and surrounded by large numbers of Muslims so perhaps our government could learn something. Or is the situation proceeding as it should?

Re lab leak theories for origins of SARS CoV 2, a lot of interesting stuff:

“The core, functional part of SARS-CoV-2 has a natural origin,” says Linfa Wang, a bat coronavirus researcher at the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore. “It’s proven.”

‘Furin cleavage sites have been found in bat coronaviruses far away from SARS-CoV-2 on the family tree.’

https://www.science.org/content/article/close-cousins-sars-cov-2-found-cave-laos-yield-new-clues-about-pandemic-s-origins

This does not rule out a ‘lab leak’ origin.

However:

‘The search will never lead us to patient zero, the first person to be infected by SARS-CoV-2, Hanage says. “Humans are looking for a story,” he says. “They want Columbo to come in and just somehow get somebody to confess or show what actually happened.” Instead, there are “possible stories” about SARS-CoV-2’s origin—some more probable than others—and stories that can be excluded, Hanage says. “And the space of possible stories in which there was a natural origin in or around the markets is much larger than the space of possible origins in which the Wuhan Institute of Virology is involved.”

“Chris Packham sacked by bird charity for being too ‘political’”

The presenter remains the chairman of the RSPCA and vice president of the RSPB and holds roles at a number of smaller charities.

Chris Packham claims that breaking the law to campaign against climate change is the ethically responsible thing to do.

The RSPCA and RSPB were, in part, set up to help prevent people breaking the law.

Raptor Rescue, in sacking Packham, have shown the reputable way forward…….

So sad that David Bellamy is not amongst us to call out the nonsense. Chris Packham has lost all credibility in my eyes and goes to join David Attenborough and the other indoctrinarians.

“At Harvard, ‘fatphobia’ constitutes violence. But ‘globalise the intifada’ requires context” Apart from the annoying background music (why oh why do people think it’s a good idea to create videos with stirring music – isn’t that manipulation?), this little vid portrays a number of professors or deans who can’t call out against what is clearly the more hateful speech when put against calling someone who is fat ‘fat’. I don’t know what fatphobia is though. Is it fear of being fat yourself or a fear of fat people as if they are going to suddenly crush you to death?

So we have the students calling for intifada against the Jews and the Jews meanwhile bombing the crap out of Palestine. That is a fact. I think calling for peace lands somewhere in the middle and is the path I choose as no one should have to live their lives in fear. Those of us who have not complied and who have dugs our heels in over the past 3 years against the madness and the brutal psyop that has being unleashed against us should know that more than most.

The whole point of which is to denounce the politicians & advisors who made the decisions as incompetent & to enable the outsourcing of this type of decision making to the WHO….
Plus further fleece the taxpayer in the process.

“Ousting Sunak would be ‘insanity’, Tories told, as Rwanda Commons defeat looms”

Does anybody seriously believe they would do worse if they got rid of Sunak and replaced him with Suella or Kemi before the election? They would have a small window of opportunity to go ‘literally Hitler’ before the election. Leave the ECHR on their first day as PM; that kind of thing.

Of course, wouldn’t stop me from voting Reform.

Interesting conversation earlier this week was had in MD4CE meeting. One of the members lives in Israel, has lived under bombardment from Hezbollah missiles & served his conscripted time in the army. The iron ring anti missile system which surrounds Tel Aviv is nothing more than a fireworks psych op to terrify the civilians into thinking that they are under attack from Hamas. If this is how the government treats its own citizens, can the information being put out regarding everything else going on there currently be trusted?

Peace should be the aim for the sake of the civilians caught up in all of this terror. More war doesn’t end war.

The separate issue of mass immigration into Europe, the behaviour of those immigrants towards the indigenous population & their intolerant hatred of Western society is completely separate but is being purposely stoked & conflated to cause division within society.
