Reform MPs have been banned from asking questions about the teenager accused of the Southport massacre in Parliament, Nigel Farage has revealed, amid concerns about the public being kept in the dark. The Telegraph has the story.
Mr. Farage has accused Sir Keir Starmer of using fear “to shut down public debate that he considers inconvenient”, after Axel Rudakubana was charged with a terror offence.
Writing for the Telegraph, the Reform U.K. leader describes how MPs were silenced when they wanted to raise the matter in the Commons, including “panicked emails” and phone calls telling them not to ask questions about the case.
He said: “It is impossible to infer anything other than that the apparatus of state are being used to manage this situation.”
The announcement that Mr Rudakubana, 18, was being charged with possessing a military study of an Al-Qaeda training manual and producing the poison ricin has prompted a debate about the public’s right to know following the killing of three young girls at a dance class in July. …
Mr. Farage writes in the Telegraph: “The day after the three Southport killings, I could see that certain key facts about this atrocity had fallen into a vacuum. This had led to unhelpful online speculation. It struck me as vital for the public to know more…
“I understand the importance of not prejudicing a future trial, but in the current climate there appears to be no room to separate the ongoing legal process from the questions that I posed over the summer. This is deeply troubling.”
Mr. Farage says he submitted a written question to Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, asking if the accused had ever been referred to the counter-terrorism Prevent initiative, but was told by the Commons authorities that he could not ask about the matter because of the ongoing court case.
After the new charges were brought against the accused, police and prosecutors made clear the stabbings are not being treated as an act of terrorism.
Sir Keir, a former Director of Public Prosecutions, has not revealed when he and other Ministers first knew of the discovery of terror material and ricin said to have been in Mr. Rudakubana’s possession.
Mr. Farage said that on Wednesday his Reform U.K. colleague Richard Tice was selected to ask a question of Sir Keir at Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons.
He writes: “That morning, he received three panicked emails from the Commons authorities asking what the content of his question might be. Then, an hour before PMQs began, he received a telephone call in which he was told not to ask anything about the man accused of the Southport attacks. This point was reinforced strenuously by the Speaker in the Commons just before PMQs began. Parliamentary Privilege was effectively withdrawn.
“For now, therefore, it seems that nobody is allowed to ask in the proper forum when the Government first knew that the accused was to face the ricin and terror material charges.
“Likewise, nobody can know whether this man was known to the authorities in any way. Do we really want to live in a society where such crucial information is kept from the public? Who decided these details should remain secret?
“I believe this apparent suppression damages democracy. It certainly shreds public trust, leading me to ask myself: what is the point of being a public representative if even we are not allowed to ask what would previously have been considered reasonable questions? It is impossible to infer anything other than that the apparatus of state are being used to manage this situation.”
The Government’s terrorism tsar, Jonathan Hall KC, has said that “more information could have been put out safely without comprising potential criminal proceedings”.

“Closing schools seemed sensible in the earliest days of 2020″
Yeah right for a disease that we knew affected badly almost exclusively the very old/ill.
The problem is there seems to be no requirement to demonstrate the link. It seems very much like making the claim is enough.
But it’s consistent with the zeitgeist. There are certain types of accusation that don’t need any proof. The accusation is enough.
Racism, misogyny, transphobia, anti-vax, homophobia, extreme right. These all come to mind as things you can casually accuse someone of without any need to prove any harm caused. You just have to say you’ve been offended or “harmed” and that’s good enough.
Let’s see who is to blame?
Big Pharma working with Big Media and Big government to force, coerce, lie and bribe billions of people into taking an experimental gene therapy.
Yes and it’s not over, These toxins have been approved for babies now. And all the old supposedly “good” vaccines are being replaced bit by bit by the same gene therapy mRNA tech dubious crud, encapsulated by the same highly suspicious NanoLipid Particles that freely move through the blood brain barrier and other organs of the body to do unknown long term damage to humanity, throw in the adjutant PEGs and it all looks like a catastrophic human population level Frankenstein experiment.
So yes now I am ABSOLUTELY antivaxx until the day I die.
Seconded!
Amen
I have to thank them for opening my eyes and make me go investigate vaccines, which I had never previously thought of doing.
The result of my investigation: no thanks and I wish I’d known sooner.
I feel exactly the same. Took two AZs and a Pfizer booster before I finally realised what was going on. Yeah, bit slow on the uptake, guilty as charged, but at least I made it to the other side. Now no jabs ever again. Vitamin D @ 5,000 IUs + K2 and that’s it. “A pill for every ill” is for the birds.
Well a decrease in people bringing their kids forward to be vaxxed is entirely predictable. I wonder how Big Pharma incorporated that into their business model going forward..
And on the topic of misinformation, Dr Byram Bridle and co, who make up the Canadian Covid Care Alliance, provide one hell of a rebuttal letter to the Council of Canadian Academies which can be downloaded from Dr Bridle’s substack or the CCCA website;
”The inability of the COVID-19 vaccines to maintain immunity against SARS-CoV-2 even after four inoculations within an 18-month period demonstrates their clear failure. Fortunately, the reduced virulence of the recent Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, and the acquisition of natural immunity by greater than 85% of the population following their viral infection has brought the threat level of this pandemic markedly down, contrary to the pronouncements of our health authorities. This clearly obliviates the need to vaccinate the vast majority of our healthy population, including infants and children, using obsolete, unnecessary, unsafe and ultimately negatively-efficacious genetic mRNA inoculants falsely marketed as effective vaccines where one is never fully immunized. The only way to determine whether or not the current government is being candid with the Canadian people is to have open public dialogues to discuss the science behind the federal and provincial governments’ handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. While various forms of misinformation abound in social media with regards to COVID-19 vaccines and other treatments, there is also much confusion and downright misinformation emanating from public health authorities and self-proclaimed “trusted” media. Only by active promotion of discourse on controversial public health policies can the general public be properly served and make informed decisions about the best course of actions in confronting the COVID-19 pandemic and future health emergencies. No individual or organization can claim to “own the science.” The condescending approach of ‘health experts’ to assume the public cannot make informed decisions based on reliable information following a personal evaluation of the purported benefits and risks of a medical intervention is a complete reversal of the principles of evidence-based medicine and biomedical ethics.”

People are waking up that all the quacksines are poisons.
No one needs them.
They protect you from nothing. They cause massive injury and even death.
Autism is an obvious example, as is the Rona mRNA.
They are products to make a profit for a criminal industry and its criminal regulators and trough feeders.
Period.
I presume then that if bitten by a rabid animal you would refuse the rabies vaccine?
That’s not a vaccine, that’s a therapeutic.
The trust in medical systems in the west has been destroyed, I personally do not trust doctors any more as they pushed this poison! The damage they have done is hard to downplay
Perhaps in time they may regret calling the genetically engineered mRNA jabs “vaccines”.
For obvious reasons they did not want people to think they may be taking something that was genetically engineered in order to reprogram the cells in their body (which of course they do…).
Still, if it makes everyone question and decline “traditional vaccines” then that can only be a good thing.:-

But not to worry, soon all jabs will be mRNA based.
What could possibly be wrong with that :-

Back in the day one of my earliest blighted jobs was milking cows. I soon got these itchy spots between my fingers which turned out to be cow pox, which i believe has something to do with giving me immunity against smallpox. Pretty happy to have had this early vaccine and i caution against throwing the baby out with the bathwater now. The current crop of c-jabs obviously are having issues with the words safe and effective. The bullying, coercion and censorship surrounding them has now caused vaccine hesitancy for other proven jabs and this is a tragedy. Lets hope the rot stops with mums and dads in rich societies with decent healthcare, and doesnt spread to countries where the cheap vaccine option is the real only practical defence against the worst diseases known.
Having a childhood in Africa I had to have regular vaccinations against yellow fever & diphtheria & others.
although I dreaded having them, & used to feel ‘ropey’ for a few days, I don’t believe they did me any significant damage – & probably saved me from harm or death.
I think it is HIGHLY regrettable that mRNA inoculations are even allowed to be called vaccines.
I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole …& they shouldn’t be allowed to appropriate the name.
if they become mandatory at all, humanity will ruin itself.
The term should have been reserved for products that do a conventional job, such as preventing infection by xyz, with a new one being created for a novel product, as it generally is with anything novel.
That won’t help…
