Isn’t it a bit odd that we’re halfway through a General Election and yet the political parties have not sought to discuss their or their opponents’ record during the pandemic, asks Brian Monteith in the Scotsman. Here’s an excerpt.
It is a conspiracy of silence, an omertà between combatants that has not even required them to speak to each other to agree the code. Why should such a potential mass-scale existential event – the likes of which Hollywood horror movies are made about – not be a core issue?
Could it be that it suits them all, Government and opposition alike, to not talk about their almost universally poor conduct during that time?
The Government’s reaction to the pandemic resulted in us being under 24-7 supervision, often house bound, it caused early deaths, wrecked businesses, denied education, delayed healthcare, cost jobs, savings and ruined lives.
The COVID-19 pandemic was not that long ago. The last U.K. lockdown ended only three years ago in July 2021 – Scotland’s lasted longer. Yet while we hear our politicians talk about today’s consequences of the decisions taken then, such as the cost-of-living crisis, the enormous NHS waiting lists, the cancer treatment backlog, the education gaps, the rising mental health symptoms, they do not want to talk about the root cause of the challenges we face now.
Why is no-one asking questions about why our politicians closed the schools when other countries managed to keep them open – and still managed comparatively better outcomes?
Why is there not a demand to know why Nightingale hospitals were built at great expense only never to be used for their purpose of mass triage and treatment centres?
Where is the outrage at the way care home residents were treated or how ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ protocols were put in place across many healthcare settings?
How could our governments adopt a conscious programme of Project Fear to scare us into obedience – to snitch on our neighbours for walking their dogs, to wear masks despite there being no evidence of benefits, to adopt entirely arbitrary social distancing so we could not see our dying loved ones or easily attend their funerals?
Well, I have not forgotten those times and I’m absolutely certain our politicians have not either.
It’s surely because they know that what they did was devastating for no obvious gain, concludes Monteith – and the opposition was entirely complicit, often only criticising the Government for not going further.
Worth reading in full.

It’s not odd at all
It would be odd for people to be talking about “covid” – only us nut job conspiracy theorists want to
It’s a massive open flank but about the only people with any credibility are on here!
Same in the U.S.
‘Although it still influences voters’ attitudes, many people don’t mention the pandemic directly. It has been tucked away like a dark family history or a misbegotten war, even as its consequences play out daily. In the Pew survey, COVID was not listed by Americans as one of the top 20 concerns they see for the next president. “It’s not on anyone’s radar,” said Mohammed, who has been a local election judge for years. “The candidates don’t mention it. They look at the polls for the public’s priorities, and for 70 to 80% of the public, COVID is not an issue.”
‘A bit of psychology has to come into this,” said Jackson. “You think about a big traumatic event. An individual is not going to realize the degree to which they changed their behavior. … The same thing happens to a nation.’

Reform UK are the only ones:
‘Reform UK opposes net zero and the climate-change agenda. It is proud of our country’s history, it does feel that the complete Covid lockdowns were damaging to the country, its economy and the wellbeing of its people.’
I will be voting Reform.
“Reform UK are the only ones”
Heritage, Freedom Alliance and Alliance for Freedom and Democracy all unequivocally and explicitly oppose medical tyranny
Sadly not a one of them has a candidate in my constituency. I wish it was otherwise.
I have two to choose from which surprised me. Would have spoiled my ballot paper otherwise
Also UKIP, Heritage & Reclaim. I regard those three parties higher than Reform because let’s be honest, as much as I respect Farage he was a bit sh@t against the health fascism. But since Neil Hamilton is not on the electoral level as Nigel, the only one left is Reform.
Tice though did try to publicise the early in 2020 the size of the antilockdown and anti jab marches by hiring a helicopter to film them when censored by MSM
Thank you for pointing that out. David Kurten very sound on covid.
I believe he is sound on many things, as are the others, but they have little support
He spoke a lot against the jabs etc. from start but otherwise having tried to talk to him on a march came to conclusion he was just on a one man ego trip, like a few ex UKIP were, and could not put personal grievances aside. Fox I believe has agreed with Reform not to compete against each other.
Now a lot of those anti jabs have come out as anti Israel as well, I wonder how much they were really anti jabs but getting practice and publicity for themselves ready for something else. This includes Kurten who soon after October 7 did broadcast saying our background was purely Christian and the Judaeo element should be ignored, and following that up a week later with an uncritical support of Hamas/Gaza
I’m currently reading “The Indoctrinated Brain …. How to successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom” by Michael Nehls, MD, PhD.
It explains how the Tyrants have carried out their physiological war on “the peasants” and why so many are now completely incapable of thinking for themselves, just parrot the lines they have been brainwashed with and do what “Simon Says” whenever Simon Says It, regardless of how ridiculous it is.
It also explains how you can defend yourself from their coercion.
I thoroughly recommend it.
I’m not sure many people can resist the propaganda, my best approach is to avoid it but I’ll take a look at this – sounds really interesting, thanks.
This here is what these politicians should be made to sit down and look at because it is they themselves who are guilty of democide, the doctors guilty of iatrogenesis off the back of government policies, in which they should have used their medical knowledge and expertise to over-ride. Instead they didn’t even question these death protocols. Shame on them for literally killing people!
Joel Smalley doing more excellent work here in which he produces some graphs that are easy on the eye for laypeople to illustrate that the excess deaths only peaked when there was government intervention in the form of the ‘Covid response’, and again when the death jab roll-out got going.
”As we have witnessed in many other analyses, the excess mortality does not start until week of 25th March 2020 when social and health infrastructure was severely disrupted and regular treatment protocols adversely affected. Otherwise, the COVID pandemic is not noteworthy.
Once again, in the regular mortality season 2020/21, there is nothing unusual until the week of the mRNA experiment, principally the first week of Jan 2021 when the most vulnerable were attacked.

The wretched doctors, the medical ‘profession’…
I lay much of the blame at their feet.
Where was their critical thinking?
How could they be taken in by this Covid scam?
Because for years they, and the rest of the population, have been indoctrinated about vaccination, with no dissent allowed.
It’s ‘The Science™’
The entire global population was misled about ‘Covid’, and coerced and even MANDATED to submit to the injections.
It’s the biggest crime of all time, and the UK and the rest of the treacherous ‘Five Eyes’ countries are right in the thick of it, they got this thing off the ground.
Who knew?! The so-called ‘free countries’ destroyed freedom.
I’ve written this up from an Australian perspective, which is also relevant in other countries, see: Misfeasance in Public Office? The Destruction of Voluntary Informed Consent for Vaccination: https://vaccinationispolitical.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/misfeasance-in-public-office-the-destruction-of-voluntary-informed-consent-for-vaccination.pdf
With the ‘bird flu’ scam brewing in the wings, people need to wake up to this diabolical shambles, big time…
Most of them were, effectively, paid not to see the scam.
Many thanks
I have pointed out that Billy’s new brew H5N1 will be out this Christmas and probably a mass cull of farm animals alongside.
I think that is H5N2.
Why are our politicians not talking about their response to the “pandemic” that was not a pandemic? Quite simply they knew it was all based on lies and was indeed a Scamdemic from Day One.
Furthermore, they cannot talk about this because as Mogs has pointed out too many are guilty of Democide : Johnson, Jabbit, Whitless, van Tam, Harries, off-Balance, Handicock and scores of others. All the Labour front bench must share the guilt because they failed to act as an opposition should and secondly are guilty of complicity; not only did they support the government they urged harder, longer, rougher – woops, getting side-tracked – and so Kneel, Ranting and the rest of the front bench would be joining Johnson et al in the Dock.
The whole political establishment know that if they were to face an honest court they would be lucky to get away with life in solitary. None of the Uniparty have a legitimate defence for what they did to the people of this country. They are all guilty. So the whole Scamdemic has to be forgotten, for now. Until the next one. If, however, we win this war, the whole lot of them are toast.
Never ever forget. Never forgive.
Spot on, hux. They’re all guilty as sin and I’m fed up with literally nobody being held to account over any of the deadly debacle. What they’ve basically demonstrated throughout the Scamdemic, death jab roll out and afterwards is that we’re no more than cattle to them, to do as they please with, and they’re above the law. Well, what passes for “law” these days anyhow.
However, at least we can be assured of one small consolation. It would’ve all been so much worse if women had been in charge. Phew..
Thanks Mogs
Not everyone was fooled like us on here but also the Landlord of the Raven Pub in Bath, a joint owner who didn’t know his partner had invited Keir Starmer and told him to sling his hook, citing the average age of death and IFR. All the information was there for those that cared to look. While I still had Facebook I would drop a message of support to the Bar owner whose staff were Sheeple!
Last time I went to Bath I made a point of going to The Raven, buying a glass of cider and thanking the owner.
Good man.
The electorate is not being properly informed about vitally important matters, e.g. the Covid scam.
Therefore, the election is not legitimate.
I raised this with an Australian politician in March 2022, see: Are elections legitimate, with voters who have been grossly misinformed about Covid-19?
I wholeheartedly agree.
That a crime of such enormity is effectively blanked over demonstrates what a farce our so-called democracy has become.
“For no obvious gain”…..Some people did very well out of it including all those celebs being paid to push the jab, not that oFcom have a problem with that. Ask Mark Steyn!

Of course the important difference between animals and humans is not to with consciousness. Of course they experience emotions, but that we have the capacity to reason and they don’t.
I saw a clip of that Calf being rammed, disgusting! Driving at the beast with headlights will not calm the beast. It ended up in a Park, they could.ve left it there for the night if they stopped chasing it.
Why would a political party want to bring up a crime the vast majority of the population was complicit in?
Germans only faced up to their crimes against Jewish people because they were forced to by the western allies. And even then they hung all the blame on the Nazi leadership as if the population weren’t complicit in the whole thing. But most Germans would have been perfectly happy to sweep the whole thing under rhe carpet if they’d had the chance.
Who is going to force all the national leaders and chief medical officers for lockdowns and forced jabs and forced muzzling to face a tribunal? The 1% of us who saw the scam from the start and were horrified from day 1?
No chance. They’ve all been given awards and promotions, not punishment.
First they committed the crimes, then they made almost everyone complicit in it and finally they whitewashed the whole thing giving themselves medals and accolades.
Nothing more to discuss. Except perhaps codifying what they did into international law so they can repeat it as many times as they like.
But in 1945 German citizens weren’t aware of the concentration camps, many were taken there to witness the horrors first hand to show what their Hitler & Co were capable of.
Isherwood Goodbye to Berlin published in 1939, Kristalnacht the year before
They may not have known specifically about the concentration camps and extermination. That’s for sure.
But the brutal discrimination and then rounding up of Jews, that happened in front of everyone and no one could have missed it.
And as with our “pandemic”, as huxleypiggles says below, there must have been a whole range of attitudes ranging from the eagerly complicit, to the go ‘along with the crowd’, to the ‘don’t like it but don’t want trouble’.
With enough of each of those, you get what you get.
I like modern-day Germans, I have a number of German friends and only recently returned from a holiday in the former East Germany.
However, I simply don’t believe that many Germans living before and during WW2 weren’t aware of the concentration camps … or the death camps. I DO believe that many were terrified of speaking out and “just kept their heads down” since they thought that was the best way of surviving.
Which is also what a lot of people did during the Covid Tyranny.
I think you are exactly right. Over 2 million Germans participated directly in the Holocaust either as SS personnel or as railway workers. The decision of the Wannsee Conference – ‘Jews to be exterminated’ – was reported in the German newspapers. Many Germans benefitted directly from the mass spoils of jewish funds and property. But speaking out was treason. Your family was in jeopardy.
Stewart, I don’t disagree with most of this comment but I think it fair to say that amongst those who were complicit, the sheeple, there was degrees of complicity.
Some people were wholly complicit because they swallowed the Scamdemic hook, line and sinker.
Some didn’t fall entirely for the Scamdemic but formed the ‘go along to get along’ brigade amongst which falls my brother, sadly. These people had an inkling that something was amiss but for various reasons fell in line.
And the rest of us had smelled the turds almost as soon as they were released. The big unknown is how many of the ‘go along’ mob have finally decided they will go along no more. This group is growing. I am confident for example that my brother won’t ‘go along’ next time. These are the fool me once crowd who have learned their lessons. Understandably they are not likely to be keen on announcing to the likes of us that they have seen the light but when Billy’s new release hits I doubt it will get the reaction he / they demand.
Anyway we will find out this winter.
I agree. The number who feel they’ve been scammed and won’t give in so easily next time is not small; at least that’s my perception too. Let’s hope the sentiment endures and grows.
Yes, they want to memory-hole the abuse they inflicted on us.
Well I for one haven’t forgotten and I will never forgive them.
The silence is deafening and only Reform has raised the issue of Covid vaccine side effects, excess deaths since the vaccine rollout and the vast overreach and credibility of the WHO.
Farage seems the only hope of raising these issues and would get my vote on that basis alone!
