Former BBC newsreader Kate Silverton has said she left the corporation because it was failing to challenge the impact of Covid lockdown policies on children. The Telegraph has the story.
The former BBC newsreader said she left the industry in 2021 as it no longer brought her “joy”.
The mother-of-two said amid the pandemic she wanted to “‘be in a position where I was helping more” and decided to retrain as a child psychologist.
Silverton told Psychologies magazine: “To be honest, news wasn’t bringing me joy throughout that period of time, and I was questioning a lot of the policies that weren’t being interrogated as rigorously as they might have been journalistically, in terms of the impact I was seeing the pandemic having on children.
“I wanted to be in a position where I was helping more.”
The Government has faced criticism for its decision to close schools for long periods of time during lockdown, as well as its policies on children wearing masks.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant has a psychology degree from Durham University.
She joined the national broadcaster in 1997 and was a regular presenter of BBC News at One and BBC Weekend News.
The 53-year-old also made occasional appearances on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News.

Reality, Dear Shirley, is what remains after you’ve stopped believing in it.
These people are ignorant, arrogant, dictatorial swines.
To be a scientist is to be naïve. We are so focussed on our search for truth we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there, whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants. It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl; where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask, “what is the cost of lies?”

Until the site policy changes, I still feel unable to say anything about Khan.
How to say something without saying it. Excellent

Yes, that’s a good one.
She soesn’t look British either.

Up to her neck in the climate scam.

Another traitor.
Oh look, she’s a WEFfer too. One of Klaus’s little helpers.

And she’s not British.

Born August 1961 apparently but the day of birth not given and born in Nairobi but Indian origin.
As well as being Deputy Mayor on £130k plus she also holds three Company directorships.
See below LM.
Don’t give observers of this site ammunition, LM; I couldn’t give a rat’s arse which mafia claims her.
Until people realise that the rot started with the windrush, we don’t have a hope.
And which mafia is to blame for windrush?
Labour ….. blame the voters of 1945.
What? She’s an archetypal Londoner, as any leade of the GLC will tell you.
“Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection”, says the German economist and IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated.
Let’s admit it: ULEZ policy has almost nothing to do with environmental protection or health protection. The next :London budget will actually be an economy summit during which the distribution of Londoners’ wealth will be imposed.

According to Sadiq Khan, your old diesel cars are causing such bad pollution in London that each year you are literally killing thousands of people.
You absolute bastards.
However…
If you give him £12.50 each time you drive in, the dying people can go fuck themselves.
“
I wrote that in comments here a couple of times already: If Khan is so worried about the health of the population of London, why is a license to poison them available for less than 13 quid?
Once you understand that “illegal” really means “legal for a price”, a lot of things start to make a lot more sense.
My personal theory, as with all indirect so-called sin taxes, is that Khan wants the money and that the health-babbling is just a (thin) justification for fining relatively poor people (with older cars) for doing something which is free for relatively rich people (with current cars).
You do need to remember that the Tube is very polluted and well over the legal limit. But that problem is pout on one side to get the fare money from millions of Londoners, and b***er their health. He should be prosecuted, and TfL!
““These further emails show an industrial scale conspiracy with leading scientists to manipulate the debate on the Ulez expansion by inappropriate requests to reword independent scientific reports,”
Boy wait till the penny drops on carbon emissions and their relationship to climate change….
“The correspondence comes to light just days after the Telegraph revealed how Mr. Khan’s deputy tried to discredit and ‘silence’ Imperial College scientists, who found that the ultra-low emissions zone (Ulez) had little impact on pollution.”
Now now, Ms Rodrigues. Their contract was to make ridiculous predictions about covid deaths, not fabrications about ulez. Another contract will be necessary – if you can find the funds from council tax payments that are diminishing as the populace wake up.
Khan must still resign because he’s still politically responsible for members of his staff publically claiming that white people cannot be real Londoners.
I think real Londoners need to kick the others out.
It’s very simple. If you are prepared to change the health research data to push a measure through regardless of the impact, you are prepared to kill people to meet your own political ends. Children, the elderly, across the board. It isn’t just some minor political wrangle, it’s a knowing criminal conspiracy to further political ends.
Strange, that sounds exactly like the vax scam. The World has become a disgusting place.
Well it was the wrong kind of science.
Expect much more of this under a Labour Government.
Stealth tax.
It’s worth reading up about C40 cities and Sadiq Kahn’s involvement.
https://www.c40.org/about-c40/
C40
Who We Are
Mayors of C40 cities are committed to using an inclusive, science-based and collaborative approach to cut their fair share of emissions in half by 2030, help the world limit global heating to 1.5°C, and build healthy, equitable and resilient communities. C40 supports mayors to do this by:
Raising climate ambition through 1.5°C climate action plan support, high-impact accelerators and fostering innovation.
Building equitable and thriving communities via global and regional programmes.Building a global movement through robust international advocacy and diplomacy.
Scaling up climate action and sharing best practices across high-impact sectors.
Facilitating access to finance for investment in green jobs and projects that improve resilience in cities
None of this shyte makes any sense and I mean that literally. This is truly just a random collection of words.
