As the only U.K. headteacher to publicly question lockdowns, masking kids and the Covid vaccine rollout to children, I was not alone in my beliefs. Other headteachers privately told me that they agreed with my stance but that they worried that voicing their concerns would impact on their careers and relationships. This is despite every education professional having a legal as well as a moral duty to safeguard children against harm.
This prompted me to explore ways in which we might empower ourselves and others to speak out about controversial and politically sensitive topics. Whether that be gender ideology within schools, the baffling notion of a man being able to give birth, climate change, antisemitism or any of the other ‘off-limits’ topics. If what we wish to say amounts to lawful free speech, we should say it. However, people are increasingly self-censoring out of fear of reprisals. Unfortunately, this can only end badly in the long run.
My search for a solution led me to the archetype of the hero and the mythological quest. Having incurred some rather brutal personal losses, including my career, I am unable to pretend that speaking out is easy. This is why people self-censor. It is definitely safer to stay silent in the short term. But what are the long-term consequences of our silence? Could, for example, the horrors of Nazi Germany and the persecution of the Jews be repeated if people are silent en masse about antisemitism? Of course, you know the chilling answer to that question.
“If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” asked Martin Luther King.
As a society, we urgently require symbols and role models which inspire our empowerment. Archetypes which enable us to deal with change, to face the unknown, to take risks and to become resilient – powerful examples which encourage us to have the confidence to speak out truth, particularly in the face of opposition and within climates of growing censorship. Ancient mythology and the concept of the hero’s quest can provide us with a primordial story structure which has been utilised in numerous films and books and which everyone will recognise on closer look, and the image of the freedom fighter, the truth seeker and courageous warrior.
Within ancient mythology, the hero, or central character, often begins the tale living in relatively settled or normal surroundings. He or she is then called to embark on a quest, which in most cases the character at first resists. Change and transformation in the direction of adventure, and likely danger, are not welcomed. He says things along the lines of “Why choose me?” and “I’m not a hero”. Preferring to carry on his life within the safety and certainty of what he already knows. The reluctant hero is strongly resistant to the quest and to what it might bring.
Eventually, the call to adventure is answered with positive action and the first stage of his journey begins. Often, this is because the alternative, doing nothing, is worse than the potential perils of the quest. Entering into unchartered territory and the unknown, the hero then embarks on his adventure. Here on in, he encounters various trials and challenges, each one a test of the character’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual attributes. Forced out of his comfort zone and honing new or latent skills as required, the hero moves towards his goal.
Self-doubt, feelings of despair and making mistakes are typical aspects of the hero’s journey. So too are moments when the character realises that he is stronger than he had previously realised: more willing to make sacrifices for others, standing up to opponents and triumphing over a range of adversities.
Towards the end of the story, the hero attains his goal. He also acquires and recognises new, often magical inner gifts – revelations which would have remained undiscovered had it not been for the quest and its hard challenges. Finally, within most of these stories, the hero returns home: wiser, stronger and in full knowledge of his new powers. The cycle is then complete. The main character, who to start with was resistant to the challenge of the quest, has transformed into a hero.
The archetypes of the mythological hero and the heroic quest are potent antidotes to an age of creeping tyranny and offer powerful rebuttals to self-censorship and cultural disempowerment. This is where we can find inspiration for our empowered voice and to stand up for what we believe in. This is a gift not only to ourselves but to our children and to the generations of humanity to follow.
You might think that I am casting myself as an invincible hero. Not at all. In fact, the hero’s journey is full of times when the main character believes that he will not make it to the end of his quest. Periods when he seriously lacks confidence and questions his abilities – something which I have experienced throughout my journey and continue to do so when I am really up against it.
However, I have also gained a deeper awareness of my core values and beliefs, I have become more resilient and know that I have defended the well-being of our nation’s children. The costs are high but worth it. The prospect of your own free speech quest might feel insurmountable or even futile at first. Until you embark on it, you will never know. You might find yourself defending the underdog. Perhaps you will speak up against a crowd of different thinking. Your free speech quest might enter you into the global struggle for rationalism, freedom and the pursuit of inalienable rights. The heroic quest is not just for Odysseus, Luke Skywalker and Katniss Everdeen; we can all be heroes in one way or another.
Next year, Skyhorse Publishing will release my fourth book, The Hero’s Voice – Finding the Courage to Speak Out. The foreword is written by Dr. Peter McCullough and the afterword by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. It is illustrated by the German activist and artist Monica Felgendreher. Within the book, I expand on the idea of embarking on our individual free speech quests and overcoming self-censorship – something which I regard as one of the most urgent issues of our time.

Bless Anna deBuisseret – she is a true warrior and one of the (very) good people.
The Anna de Buisseret video has cheered me up – thank you.
How bad is the football problem, really? The local sports radio station reported it yesterday, and the presenter said the Premier League had been ‘ravaged’ by covid.
He actually used the word twice. I was hoping he’d go full psycho with RAVAGED! RAVAGED, I TELL YOU! after that, but I was disappointed.
At least he wasn’t misusing ‘decimated’.
Perhaps he could try Slaughtered; eviscerated might be a bit too delicate.
“Lib Dems ‘to win comfortably’ ” (Sky News, c. 01.50)
Good. At least they stood up to the apartheid (and I’ve never voted for them before).
Just go Boris, and bring in one of the hundred, before it’s too late for this country.
My sentiments exactly. I’ve never voted Liberal, but will from now on until the Conservatives get the message about “vaccine passports”.
Me too. Get vaccine passports off the table – we can sort the other stuff out later.
Confirmed. 17,957 votes for the Lib Dems.
12,032 for the tories
1,427 for Reform UK.
Labour 3,686
Total votes:38,096
Sod off Piffle, and take your apartheid with you.
Did the Libdems campaign as just ‘not Tory’ or specifically against lockdown measures and/or vaccines?
I don’t know. Their candidate did wear a mask for the count (unlike the rather less loony Loony candidate). Still, I hope it will be taken as a vote against a two tier society and further restrictions. That certainly frames the context of the election.
Be careful what you wish for – they might be against passports but have no issues with locking down every 5 minutes and making everyone distance/wear a mask the rest of the time.
Ideally we’d have something like Reform UK or Heritage. But I’d rather have the things we’ve had already than apartheid, which was always dangerous nonsense and may be hard to reverse.
Pity it was just the yellow brand of the uniparty BUT HEY!
Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!’
Reform UK were nowhere near unfortunately (And doesn’t it need reforming!).
Word is that the LibDems have won the North Shropshire by-election, overturning the 23000 majority that the Tory crook Owen Paterson held over Labour (!).
Bye bye Boris Johnson.
As I said before, let’s hope Graham Brady’s postman stays in good health. The number of letters needed is only 55. It will be best if enough Tory MPs bring about a confidence vote. Don’t let this ludicrous excuse for a prime minister leave office “for health reasons”. Boot him out publicly.
Can we imagine his last speech from the Despatch Box? How will he summarise what he has achieved in office? Er…er…er… “I signed some big deals with Pfizer… Some stuff happened with Northern Ireland… I stood in front of a lectern a lot… I led some clapping…”
I’m actually still on the same prediction as a few hours ago: aim to release the party photo some time around 7am. Nail in his political coffin. Bye, Alex.
I would prefer that the Pig Dictator stayed in place
IMO better a tired wounded rancid leader than a shiny brand new one that reinvigorates the lunacy
I agree, I just don’t see anything good replacing him.
Quite. Imagine if old Rubber-Lips Gove managed to insert himself as leader …
No that’s unthinkable, just too horrific to contemplate.
As someone commented here before, “we’d all have been tattooed already” if he was in charge.
Yes, I’ve said this before. Keep him there.. he’s an asset.. for us..
Of course playing the long game might go wrong too
Not unlike Diane Abbot
Who voted against the passports & the mandatory jabs for the NHS.
Credit where credit is due.
Corbyn voted against all 3 measures.
I’m no fan of either of these two but they at least voted to uphold the law & human rights.
I’m a lifelong conservative but when only a quarter of the party could find the decency to vote against the medical passes as a precondition for entry to society in the vote this week, I moved to Liberals, so I hope they won. I am not a liberal under any circumstances and hate just about everything they stand for, but this passport situation trumps everything right now, and only the liberals stood firmly against it.
Only continuing liberal victories against the current government can make them understand we will not tolerate “vaccine passports”.
I couldn’t bring myself to vote Tory, ever, even during Treason Mays shenanigans during Brexit & Depifffel being the only chance of brexit I still couldn’t bring myself to vote for him, & that’s the only reasons the Tories won the last election, Brexit an amazing recovery, bozo literally saved the party from extinction.
Never forget it’s the Tories that have implemented all this Draconian surveillance legislation, it’s Tories facilitating censorship (hate freedom bill) & it is Tories that brought into statute, equalities & minority rights that’s tearing this country apart.
And I still can’t see any possibility labour can ever recover. I’ve no idea where that leaves this country.
Same policies enacted worldwide by governments of all persuasions including those who dont even pretend to have democratic legitimacy.
Apart from a Tanzanian president who was apparently bumped off (and maybe a Brazilian one who nearly was).
Career politicians all with the same university indoctrination, lobbied & bribed by neoliberal globalists. To top it off, advised by liberal leftist civil servants.
Communism!
I despise marxism, but it’s nearer feudalism than anything else.
I know marxism inevitably evolves into a bureaucrat-feudalist 2 class society, like ours is heading with “key worker” nonsense.
Marxist communism is liberal middle class idealism & whatever we call it, totalitarianism is where it’s heading.
The Soviet system did not permit a Billionaire are class (although the Nomenclatura were very comfortable).
The CCP on the other hand seems to encourage it in the same way as Silicon Valley and with the same result. How is the middle class in China these days?
NB. I was a ‘key worker’ from March 2020 onwards; while life was more acceptable than being locked down I didn’t make any more money out of it, neither did nurses, binpersons or highway workers.
you didnt have to queue for petrol etc.
If you are talking about the USSR that’s because you didn’t have car to put petrol in but the rest of life was just one big queue.
Ed. I got it now, you mean I didn’t have to queue for petrol during lockdown proper, quite right but I couldn’t use their toilets either “because Covid”.
Yes but Labour have supported it all the way. It’s now the Labservative party
How many Tory rebels (ie more like true Conservatives) would there need to be for one of them to step into the ring?
55 for the 1922 committee to act. I understand that it was almost half the baxk benchers who rebelled on Tuesday, so I assume we’re not far off.
55 would just result in more if the same with a replacement leader. I meant how many to get a PM who might change direction.
Are Tory leadership ballots private? In which case such a candidate might find they had more support than anticipated.
From her remarks about not stop-starting the economy Mrs. May would get my vote, not something I thought I would ever say.
Mrs. May would get my vote
WTF?
She recently said in Parliament that we cannot keep on stopping the economy every time a new variant comes along.
Gets my vote.
She abstained on the votes for passports & mandatory jabs!
A total coward!
Point taken BB, but my main interest has always been lockdownsceptics.
While sympathetic to vax skepticism they are of no direct threat to me personally.
Mrs May????
Get a grip KV!
ITEM: “Madness of Australia’s zero-Covid obsession could yet ruin the Ashes” – Australians have been conditioned not to find it strange that Pat Cummins is in isolation despite not having the virus, reports the Telegraph.
Sport in Australia is being managed by some of the dumbest but most dangerous fanatics that the whole Covid fandango has elevated to positions of authority. It is completely nuts that the pointless Covid ‘bio-security’ measure of isolating ‘close contacts’ means we now have the enforced isolation of the perfectly healthy Australian Test captain because he ate at a steakhouse restaurant in Adelaide’s CBD on the eve of the Second Test where some other perfectly healthy diner returned a positive but clinically meaningless PCR test result.
And because even though Cummins tested negative following his ‘exposure’ and still has to isolate, this means that South Australia is now vying for Most Stupid Covid State in Australia (and there is stiff competition for that title). In every other state, Cummins would have been allowed to play but, oh no, not here in Adelaide where our Public Health lamebrains decree that he must twiddle his thumbs in hard quarantine simply BECAUSE HE WAS AT AN EXPOSURE SITE (sorry about the all caps, but JEEZ!). Bet the Contact Tracer who got to make the phone call/text message to Cummins is feeling chuffed, pumped up with public service pride.
In other sports news, the Australian ‘teenage sensation’ tennis player, Olivia Gadecki, who has been slaying veteran players left, right and centre and is Australia’s Next Bright Hope post-Ash Barty, has been booted from the Australian Open in Melbourne in January 2022 because she rejects the experimental, risky, gene-therapy drug and has thus fallen foul of Daniel Andrews Covid Vaxx tyranny.
At least she will be in good company, with unvaxxed French tennis player Pierre-Hugues Herbert who has been similarly disinvited, another Frenchman, Jeremy Chardy, who also won’t be playing at the tournament after having suffered a severe adverse reaction to Pfizer in September, and, possibly, World No. 1, Novak Djocavik.
In better news, Daniel Andrews has gone into in isolation (awaiting a negative PCR test) after being at an upscale social event with a positive test result ‘case’ – just five days into his Christmas break. Unfortunately, if he is infected, it will be with Omicron which is so mild that he will 100% survive. Damn it!
It’s not just Australia, of course. We follow the English Soccer down here and reports of games being cancelled and players pulled under ‘Covid protocols’ are proliferating, whilst in the NFL in the US, around a hundred gridiron footballers, out of approximately 1,700 on the roster, are sitting out games because someone somewhere who they were in the vicinity of tested positive. By the way, 94% of NFL players are fully-jabbed. That’s working out well, isn’t it.
Welcome to the New Stupid.
Phil
Adelaide
Deaar Phil, the New Stupid began in March 2020 and has been in top gear ever since. Except that it’s clear that most people were already that stupid, but society was not previously run entirely on their level.
Remembering an old Monty Python sketch, I’m now convinced that the omnibollox has been engineered by blobby things from Outer Space, so that their team can win not inly Wimbledon (like last time) but also the Ashes.
I’m not a great sports fan Phil but do appreciate the effort that you put into providing that summary.
Presumably those levels of unnecessary sporting isolation will be reflected in most other walks of life which don’t attract publicity. All the fault of other people who keep getting themselves tested even though they must know that the tests are pretty useless and Covid itself is becoming ever less ‘dangerous’ as it follows the route that virus always do.
As predicted here and elswhere as soon as a ‘variant’ appeared 12 months ago (Kent?).
I’ve only ever been tested as a hospital inpatient (15 times, all negative) but the only time I would do so voluntarily would be as an attempt to skive off work (not that I do).
Oh yes, the same ‘close contact therefore quarantine yourself’ lunacy is happening to heaps of ordinary people, too, but because sport is such a secular religion in Australia, when it happens to key figures like the Australian Test cricket captain it becomes more noteworthy in the media. The sports angle may help to change minds on the silliness of the authorities’ Covid response but what seems to be happening is that, under the rubric of ‘keeping us all safe’, the Covid-compliant media is still accepting the nuttiness as normal and glibly referring to ‘Covid protocols’ as the unquestioned font of public health wisdom. Most people seem to be following this line, alas, but ‘optimism of the will’ and all that…..
How are sports fans taking it? Any push back or are they going along with it?
Maybe they will notice id significant numbers have their performance affected by those “vaccines”. I heard it’s a problem for some free divers…
The problem is it that it won’t take many years for all this to become completely normal, unnewsworthy. Being ‘off for Covid’ will be regarded in the same way as off sick or on holiday.
For my sins I did support Chelsea FC in my early teens (early 70s). Those who had been supporting them for longer were forever going on about a player (Hutchins?) who had been seriously injured but whose comeback was bound to rescue the clubs fortune.
To me his prolonged absence was entirely normal (as was the club’s poor performance) and if he ever did come back it was after my interest had waned.
Oh I don’t think this will stop with “covid”.
(P.S> I bet Chelsea was fun in the 70’s!).
Yes it was, proper fans stood in The Shed, after that it all became about the New Ground and an ego maniac Chairman, Ken Something.
Bates.
Master?
Probably Lord knowing him.
Isn’t he the one that said “go back to your tenement blocks” or something?
Still a similar attitude today from the globalist scum.
It was that experience that made me realise that football was not about the game or camaraderie, it was just about money like everything else up to and including Covid vaccines.
Thank you for this update. Much appreciated even though I fell out with most professional sports many years ago.
Kudos to every sporting figure who says Phuk Tha Vax. Their response has got to be seeping into the minds of a few of their young fans. And maybe the older ones, too.
The tremendous damage and harm, including deaths, caused to people through the government policies of lockdowns and vaccines, is becoming clearer. Serious people are talking about trials, and even mentioning crimes against humanity. I support this, as do millions of us. But the Cabinet and their gimps are not going to accept this outcome under any circumstances. Luckily, the governments of the rest of NATO (and others) committed the same crimes, so they can act in concert and cascade us into another crisis. This is why NATO is now reported to be refusing to respond to numerous Russian calls for a security dialogue over Ukraine.
London and Washington and Paris want Putin to invade Ukraine more than Putin does.
I think you may be right. They’re certainly provoking every possibility at WW3, it seems to just be a matter of where it’ll start.
Correct me if I’m wrong but surely there won’t be anything like world war 3 (yet) as the Ukraine aren’t in NATO.
In any case, Putin may well just carry on as he has, incrementally advancing, testing what he can get away with, rather than any dramatic escalation (which in any case might be more trouble than it’s worth).
I don’t think Russia, China, Iran etc are the ones wanting war. I doubt Putin has much say in it.
I’d be more worried if it was war monger Hillary. Sleepy Jo just gifted Afghanistan to China though.
Is Hilary finished?
The democrats are clinging to relevance with extant fossils, the upcoming progressives have no real support or mandate. The Clinton mafia looks more vulnerable every day, I think their only possibility of defibrillation is Hilary.
Goodness, I hope so.
Yes. Historically, Hitler’s big mistake was the full scale invasion of Poland, when a more limited operation (to “liberate” some areas in Poland where there were significant ethnic German populations) might have encouraged Britain and France to continue to look the other way.
Crimea depends for 80% of its fresh water on a single canal which comes over the strait from Ukraine who cut it off shortly after the first Russian intervention.
While Mr. Putin might have predicted this response Russia cannot continue to truck in vast amounts of water on the new road they built over the Kersch peninsula.
That alone is enough for new hostilities, incremental as Hugh says.
Putin’s between a rock & a hard place. A. Invade Ukraine, face the consequences (I doubt westerns powers will respond militarily) or B. Face Nato camped on Russia’s doorstep for decades! I suspect they’ll go with option A (its a calculated risk) pushed into it by Biden, why?
I have no attachment or sympathy for Russia or Putin, but any claims Russia has expansionist ambitions is absurd. China’s a different story.
China doesn’t expand territorial it exerts control see especially
That’s right, but technically neither does the empire, at least not physically waving the star & stripes on foreign territory its all very much more subtle now via NGO’s & politics. China has similar tactics & ambitions via industry i think.
(Got interrupted)
see especially Africa which China controls much of in the same way that Britain controlled much of South America economically in the 19thC (since supplanted by the US) and which was much more profitable than formal rule as an occupied colony.
A very recent article by The Times has the Liberals claiming a “comfortable” win over the Tories – in their previously 23k majority seat. This is the kind of swing that will have the anti-British, anti-democrat traitors in the Conservative Party filling their pants. Good. No vaxports and if that means No Tories, then No More Tories.
Trouble is (& i’ve NEVER voted tory, never & never will) what we get instead is even woker. Vax passes may be the most pressing issue ATM but all the other stuff is just as important for the future.
Mind like I’ve said many times before, all this woke nonsense gained momentum under the Tories watch. Despite appearances, I have strong socialist sympathies, but I can’t support the authoritarianism that it depends on.
We have to abandon voting the 2 party system, if I do vote it will only be for the freedom alliance & I don’t even know much about them, I’m not really party political.
If your MP voted FOR vaxpass, you MUST boot them out.
It’s as simple as that.
Liberals about to declare victory in safe Tory seat in clear rejection of Boris Johnson’s fascist covid regulations. Good. Now letters to the 1922 Committee and a serious leader WHO STANDS AGAINST LOCKDOWNS, MASKS AND GENE THERAPY MANDATES can be in No 10 in the New Year. If not this type of leader, the Tories will continue to lose to Liberals.
Could even be the biggest swing from Tories to Liberals since WWII. Thanks Bojo.
As has been pointed out, nothing good may come from it. Still, I will always want an anti-apartheid party to win rather than an apartheid one.
For one tiny minute there, I only saw your capital letters sentence and thought the WHO was against all this nonsense!

Lib Dems have won the North Shropshire with 47.1% of the vote.
A start after the shameful events of Tuesday.
I’m conflicted.
It is what it is.
I still maintain almost anything was better than the Conservatives winning after Tuesday.
I agree. Shows more and more are waking up.
The libdems aren’t anti-lockdown! This isn’t a victory, the Tories are still here until 2024, If bozo resigns who do think will take over?
If anything, this means things can get a whole lot worse.
It’s not a victory, it’s a small mercy – at least it will be harder for them to claim a mandate for apartheid, and in that sense there is more of a case for one of the hundred to take over, though as you rightly point out something else could easily happen.
I’m not celebrating, but it would have been unbearable if the Conservatives had won after Tuesday. Be clear, apartheid is the most poisonous measure so far and maybe something people can rally against.
Vax passports are a weapon for totalitarian control. It they don’t get them everything else will fall.
I’m stunned by the Omicron ‘restrictions the Welsh tinpot dictator has put into place – from the 27th of December:
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/covid-restrictions-christmas-mark-drakeford-22489363
Dunno if he thinks the Welsh weather will drown that virus, but it’s nice of him to let people have pre-Christmas drinkies and go on the Boxing Day Christmas Sales marathon before creeping back indoors …
The fact that Boxing Day is a Sunday this time might have an effect on trade. However, there’ll probably be quite a few hounds chasing down the foxes (otherwise known as something else officially – trails?). Events like that are common on that day.
North Shropshire.
4990 more people went out and voted for the opposition, 45,165 stayed at home.
It really ought to be the case that an MP’s position stays vacant unless the majority of the electorate turns up to vote.
But polling stations are dangerous! Somebody might Omnicrone you! Hide under the bed!
Alternatively: as one of our stalwarts keep saying, so the constituents mostly said: fuck ’em, fuck ’em all.
Don’t forget that turnouts for local gov elections are often less than 50% in most wards. Maybe the voters have realised that P is just as bad as Councils? No-one votes for the bureaucrats, after all – the ones who tell the politicians what to do.
Well well, Dungford hath spoken, or at least excreted again through his filthy, gibbering gob.
I was confidently expecting him to require Nazipapiere in pubs etc., but instead I gather that he’s just telling shops to get out the measuring rule and the sticky tape. As for nightclubs … ok till after Christmas, eh? Stay of execution. Great. Big deal. I’n sure they will be so, sooooo grateful.
Even by the logic of Dung’s criminal insanity, this is a humdinger. But at least I can book us a Sunday lunch.
I thought you’d be plesed!
So. What next?
Will Piffle go in the morning, and if so, then who? (Or do I not want to know?) Can this rotten government really carry on like this?
(P.S. Johnson joined that Christmas party, according to the Independent).
I posted the attached somewhat later yesterday.
It a text from my very large GP Practice who have suddenly decided to ditch everything else (no routine appointments) for the foreseeable future in favour of the booster Programme.
No doubt because the NHS have finall offered them a suitable bribe.
It’s insane at the moment. Nearly 800,000 in a day. Some people must be making a lot of money…
(You replied before I could edit Hugh which is why my post doesn’t make sense.)
This is the same GP Practice that granted me a telephone ‘appointment’ a month hence for urgent (‘routine’) matters.
Update to yesterday.
The day after receiving the attached text I received a Reminder because their computer had noticed that I had not immediately clicked their “book your booster here” link (grab a jab?).
Clearly they are keeping a close eye on who takes up thei boost and who does not.
Sorry! I’ve beenthere myself.
So I wonder how many people are going to be able to access personal health information about me? Sodding covid1984…
My text says ‘evidence is clear that a completed programme including a booster shot is vital protection against serious symptoms from Omicron.’ Strangely, my pithy reply wouldn’t send.
Lying bastards.
Metnhinks a letter is in order. And a different practice.
(and a different keyboard)
Pithy reply:
Evidence is clear that 2 doses MAY give some protection against serious illness (for the original strain – much less effective against delta)
Evidence is clear that this supposed protection wears off in 3-6 months, becoming negative thereafter.
Evidence is clear that it is VERY UNLIKELY that a booster will – or even can – protect against omicron when 2 doses do not.
Evidence is clear that trials were fraudulent and grossly insufficient, such that nobody knows what the medium- or long-term effects of the jab will be.
Evidence is clear that this is NOT a vaccine, but is an experimental synthetic gene therapeutic.
Evidence is clear that these jabs are killing and maiming thousands of people.
Evidence is clear that these jabs compromise immune systems for at least 2 weeks.
Evidence is clear that heart attacks, strokes, embolisms, myocarditis, cancers and autoimmune conditions have increased dramatically since the rollout began.
Evidence is clear that spike proteins go to/are created by cells in epithelium & major organs, and can remain for months.
Evidence is clear that this S1 spike protein is a deadly toxin.
Evidence is clear that vitamin D levels are a critical factor in covid, and that treatment protocols based on hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are very effective (80%+) against covid development.
Evidence is clear that my risk of injury from the jab is far greater than from covid, especially if the above treatments were permitted.
Don’t lie to me.
“Grab a Jab” – this trivialising is just offensive.
There was a film about Cambodia called “The Killing Fields”. For some unfathomable reason it sprang to my mind the other day when I heard the jabbing targets….
Criminal negligence and medical malfeasance. Keep lists, names, etc. Try and record conversations if you’re denied care. The tsunami of lawsuits heading towards the Govt/NHS is already visible on the horizon.
NHS is clinically insane, its mantra stay at home, to save lives, is literally killing people in favour of covid!
What does it matter if hospitals are overwhelmed if they aren’t treating anyone?
Schizophrenic liberals are responsible for this, I’ve no empathy for the Tories but the illiberal undems are not a good result for us, even if they do oppose the vax pass.
I am doing precisely that.
Happily I am getting NHS care but only through the intervention of my specialist Consultant who seems to be able to open all sorts of doors.
My GP Practice were not particularly interested and will now be even less so in their rush to Booster profits.
May I borrow your binoculars?
British Prime Minister and world-famous Churchill impersonator Alexander Kemal, better known by his stage name Bojo the Dancing Clown, has led the Tories to another catastrophic by-election defeat, losing a safe seat, blue since 1906. He has also created a chaotic executive full of people breaking covid rules and mocking the public over it, such as Allegro “Hatchback” Stratton and Jacob Rees-Mock, and of course himself, recently outed by The Independent for having been at the party and of course lying about it to the nation.
Adieu, Bojo. But remember this, our loss is the circus’s gain.
Lots of people on here who have voted Conservative before. Guess how many would at the moment. The only surprise is that they got as many as twelve thousand last night.
Tory for over 200 years, I believe.
Pity that the Lib Dem victors are out and out lockdown fanatics.
Yes, there is no good force in mainstream British politics, but sending liberals into Tory seats will focus the minds of the 1922 Committee, one hopes.
Good point.
Blimey, 1906 ! I knew it was a poor showing for the Tories but, not reading newspapers or watching telly news, had no idea it was that bad for them.
a rotten borough!
>The nation with the oldest people in the world has lower serious infections and fatalities – scientists think they know why.
Let me guess it’ll be nothing to do with IVERMECTIN….
If every true anti-lockdown, anti-mask, anti-therapy mandate conservative were to vow to vote liberal until the Tories change course, the signal might be strong enough to effect change in the right direction.
Can these questions be answered?:
How are ‘cases’ being identified as being caused by Omicron?
Is there any data emerging to show the vaccinated v unvaccinated breakdown for Omicron ‘cases’ and, in particular, the numbers for the recently vaccinated who count as unvaccinated in the official statistics?
Reason for the questions is the suspicion that Omicron is a reaction to the booster.
Hmm, I’m dubious about the last sentence: surely South Africa was not dishing out boosters a month ago?!
Just came across this. Relates to my second question – starts just over 28 minutes in:

“The Chief Medical Officer came under fire from Conservative backbenchers after he urged the public to stay at home”
It is working. Was out in London last night, felt like the tail end of previous lockdowns. Whatever shit he is chatting is approved by the scum in charge, all part of the pysop.
“Variant could skew hospital and deaths figures to the point that they become largely useless in driving policy”
That’s been the case from the start. Quite deliberate.
Au Contraire: It looks like April 2020. In town yesterday,
Christmasfestive-season crowds, chocker, at least 95%+ muzzled, with the addition of paramilitary style ‘security’ goons loitering at shop entrances.Much as I appreciate the Tories getting a sound thrashing in the North Shropshire by-election I am disappointed that the Lib Dims
were successful. Any sort of salvation for this country and indeed the world is not going to come via the ballot box. To all intents and purposes we are now living in a one party state.
The turnout percentage looks low so what does that say about the British public?
Perhaps the electorate are fed up, or ground down with the daily C1984 lies. Perhaps many, like me, believe that our old parliamentary “democracy” is now finished and gone the way of the Dodo.
In olden days and following on from Tuesday’s result this would be the end for any PM. Unfortunately, a change in PM may not lead to a change of course given that we are now being governed by a Globocap elite. This scenario will doubtless have already been ‘gamed’ so a replacement eager for a place in the history books, even if it is for mass murder, will already be primed.
For certain there is no chance of an exit from our current Orwellian situation simply based on an insignificant by-election result; Globocap have been planning the coming Technocracy for too long.
Mass compliance might help but as yet there appears to be very little appetite amongst the population.
Until people wake up this result is nothing but a blip, a lost skirmish for the marauding, murdering elite.
The really good news from this, for the little it is worth, is that Kneel Starmer is now a dead man walking although nobody with a brain would want his job.
Step forward Andy Burnham.
Still, we have a day of hand-wringing and recriminations to look forward to.
As you were.
As I write above, the one good thing from this is it’s harder for them to claim a mandate for apartheid now.
As for Andy Burnham, he should have been elected that time he stood.
Actually, for a bye-election, the turnout is rather high. As for the LibDems, they are just the dustbin into which the voters would like to place Bozo!
Well said Matt Le Tissier. The sad demise of sporting professionals in recent times needs to be investigated. Even people in the crowd are dropping. What is going on?
I actually think that players collapsing on pitch, and people dropping in the crowd, will happen on such a regular basis that it will become ‘normal’ and no longer remarked upon.
Like Strawberry’s warren of shining wires in Watership Down.
Goodbye Johnson, your time is up! Your P45 is in the post. Don’t forget to take your backroom staff with you.
The Lib-Dems victory is an extra vote against vax pass, but an Allie for covidian lockdown zealots.
Just a game of snakes & Ladders.
I rate health apartheid as the biggest of snakes (and maybe their ultimate goal).
p.s. You might like to eject the alley cat that did for you.
Japan’s success against Covid is nothing to do with their regular use of Ivermectin then? Funny that. It’s all just a coincidence after all. So many coincidences.
No it isn’t. Because Ivermectin is a de-worming drug and isn’t required in an advanced economy like Japan.
https://swprs.org/the-ivermectin-debate/
What effect there was, is likely down to the de-worming effect in parts of the world where intestinal worms remain a problem. Worms aren’t good if you’re trying to tame an inflammation response.
Quite why people get religiously attached to positions is beyond me. Follow the data and beware of biases.
It’s precisely because I follow data not dogma that I ask the question. The use of the term “de-worming” in relation to Ivermectin is a shibboleth for a troll on this topic, There should be an equivalent of Godwin’s law for this – anyone who mentions worms immediately invalidates their argument. Bonus point if you get “horse” in there too.
Also the genetic-makeup theory is slightly complicated by the fact that Covid mortality in Japanese Americans in California is higher (admittedly from a small sample) than among most other ethnic groups. So unless Japanese people mutate genetically when they move abroad we can probably discount that idea, and at that point look elsewhere.
Who knows….
I found this quite interesting.

Yes, it’s basically an ad, it’s overpriced and there is very little hard data, but the logic behind it and the explanation for why Ivermectin’s efficiency is still questioned is quite compelling.
(Some further colour also BTL.)
Newly Weds Foods UK (https://newlywedsfoods.co.uk) aren’t paying they’re Christmas bonus to employees who hasn’t chosen to have the experimental therapy.
Please post this your social media accounts
Dreadful and more than likely illegal.
Legal action will, I hope, follow quickly
I’ve just spoke to somebody senior in their HR department who wouldn’t confirm or deny that Newly Weds Foods won’t be giving their Christmas bonus to staff who have chosen not to have the experimental therapy.
If anybody wants to ask them, feel free +44 (0)1924 280444
MATT LE TISSIER FOR PM..
Not only an outstanding footballer in his time, but he tells the truth, unlike others I could mention..
Blimey, you’ll be saying Trevor Sinclair next…
Mind you, I could imagine Djokovich going into politics.
I was thinking Trevor Sinclair as sports minister actually..
Daniel Andrews has a big one.
Of course, size is no guarantee of authenticity.
