On February 4th the Perseus Group in conjunction with other likeminded organisations convened a press conference to discuss Module 4 (Vaccination) of Baroness Hallett’s Covid Inquiry. I attended virtually. The various presentations were depressing.
Two contributors described their experience of being at the inquiry, and from their descriptions the entire setup of the inquiry is faulty. Questions had to be submitted in advance; many were turned down. Attempts by some witnesses to escape from the rigid format by asking their own questions, or elaborating on answers, were shut down. I hesitate to use the word ‘ruthlessly’ but it seems appropriate. It became apparent to the above participants that their entire understanding of the inquiry was wrong; it was not designed to look at the scientific evidence (indeed at one point it was specifically prohibited) but designed to examine the official response to the pandemic predicated on the ‘truth’ that the vaccines were safe and effective. Although it was suggested that trust needed to be established, that aim manifestly failed (not least because of the now overwhelming evidence that the vaccines are neither safe nor effective). One speaker pointed out that the coercion to be vaccinated, not least for children, abandoned all notion of informed consent. On that basis those doctors who promoted vaccination with vicious loud statements should be arraigned before the General Medical Council for unethical practice. If the vaccines worked they might have escaped on the defence of the common good outweighing individual rights, but they didn’t so such a defence cannot apply.
It is notable that the inquiry’s concentration on the work of the Government’s dis- and mis- information operation assumes that anyone questioning the safety and effectiveness of vaccines is spreading such information. In reality the main source of dis- and mis- information is the Government: the manifest failings of the MHRA have been concealed; the safe and effective narrative is a sham.
I have yet to see any news report of the meeting but hope one will appear somewhere. I also hope that transcripts of the speakers’ presentations will become available. I note that the Perseus Group has made several witness statements to the Hallett Inquiry; whether these have been put on the inquiry website is a little difficult to determine, as the ‘statements’ tab leads to a list which is 809 pages long. I got through the first five without finding anything sensible buried among the trivia. Maybe the submissions are there somewhere. Somehow I doubt it.
Much of the content of the presentations – by Prof Angus Dalgleish, Dr Clare Craig, Dr Ros Jones, Dr Elizabeth Evans and Nick Hunt, among others – mirrored what I have said before.

So in summary we are faced with an inquiry that (as I have also said before) is led by the wrong experts (lawyers) who are asking the wrong questions of the wrong experts (mainly politicians, civil servants and non-clinical doctors). It is not only ignoring medical and scientific evidence but, by the way it limits witnesses, actively suppressing it.
It cannot possibly achieve its stated aims of discovering what went wrong and how to stop problems in any future pandemic. It should therefore be terminated to avoid throwing good money after bad. The People’s Vaccine Inquiry is convened by folk who are not receiving millions of pounds of fees, but are working effectively pro bono. Expand it to cover all aspects, and it will in my view come up with all the answers and plans for the future.

I told my surprisingly compliant mother back in summer 2020 that this will all end in the longest, most bitter “told you so” in history. We barely talk now and the damage is done in terms of my relationship with most of my family, but: “told you so.”
I described what had happened as a ‘coup’ to my mother-in-law in March 2020 and was met with outrage and gaslighting. A few weeks ago she was forwarding video links to the Corona Committee and talking about mass formation. This sounds like a victory but unfortunately there are dimensions of this colossal fraud that remain untouchable, such as the history of patents for SARS-Cov2 and the pre-planning of vaccination passports by the EU and others. So I think the best we can hope for in the short term is a belief amongst those who fell for it that we overreacted as a society and made terrible mistakes. Most people on this forum don’t think any of it was a mistake, but entertaining such ideas is terrifying for most people and they would need to rethink their whole understanding of the world.
Its called going down the rabbit hole – and people dont want to do it because they suspect/fear their whole life was spent living a lie.
Yes. I often wonder what the benefit has been of going down so many.. general sense of anxiety and paranoia, and difficulties discussing world events without getting very frustrated. Was it worth it?!
It could be just the beginning of a great awakening, like a seed of an oak tree that starts very small. I think it will be very definitely worth it in time, provided we manage to stop the push towards global totalitarianism, the jackboot that could squash our seedling into oblivion.
Even as we are distracted with the ratcheting down of the plandemic though, the next planned crisis is beginning to take shape – the engineered financial crisis starting with the inflation rise that BlackRock were calling for:
“UK Wage Hikes Wiped Out to Zero by Soaring Inflation Rate”
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/01/18/uk-wage-hikes-wiped-out-to-zero-by-soaring-inflation/
Energy price rises are pushing us into fuel poverty as well.
Resistance is crucial.
It is interesting that you mention finance, inflation and energy prices.
Especially as MP Seeley talks about models and forecasts.
When you see the abject fraud of the so called science promulgating runaway catastropic man made global warming then it is easy to understand the motives of the gangsters behind the Chinese flu scam.
All of it is based on computer models and not one single scare has ccome to pass.
The sad thing is “we ain’t seen nutin yet”
Better than being totally deluded and naive all you life?
It is called “facing reality” like ceasing to believe in Father Christmas
I’ve posted several times the example of the colonel in the hit movie “A Few Good Men” famously bellowing “You can’t HANDLE the truth!”
The irony is that it was this colonel who can’t handle the truth. His “truth” was that America “needed those Marines on those walls” (at a military base in Cuba) to protect Americans “freedoms” or protect the nation from threats to our “national security.”
As if Cuba was any threat to freedom or America’s national security.
It’s our own government that poses the threat to freedom and probably our national security. That’s the truth most people can’t handle.
Let’s wait and see.
When millions of people realise they have been injected with poisons what happens?
There is something very fishy going on.
What happens? I suspect many of them will die – sooner , later or much later…but it will of course be nothing to do with the ‘injections’.
I understand there is a year long “waiting list” for autopsy/inquest???
Any doubters should be encouraged to read Kenndy’s book!
Yes indeed, this too!
All right sitting chez moi – 27th January 2022.
‘Most people’…but not all…
“Pseudo pandemic” by Iain Davis is possibly the most direct and comprehensive account of where we are, why and who is responsible.
You have my sympathy.
By choosing a policy imported from a communist dictatorship that has concentration camps, they essentially declared war on you.
That is indeed how I see it – they supported people who wanted to take away my rights, deny my employment and dehumanise me. I will always see them as collaborators.
Indeed they did – we are now the enemy ( not as they are currently using all their propaganda to try and persuade us, the Russians! Never forget Iraq).
Putin is a far away enemy but it wasn’t him who made Britain adopt communism.
We have made Putin an “enemy” because they need one as a Second Front to divert the sheep into “Foreign Threat ” fear mode.
It is all in 1984. Check out the Military expenditure of NATO and the EU plus the US then check out Russia… and then say who is preparing for war?
(Putin is a conservative, Russian Nationalist, who has presided over an Orthodox Church religious revival – Russia ditched communism as a total disaster).
I agree. The sabre rattling has come from this side, through the extending of NATO’s influence to within sight of Russia’s borders. Anyone with any understanding of the Russian mentality knows that Russia, having been invaded several times in the past by European powers, relies on a demilitarised buffer zone for its sense of security. This was often pointed out by the late Andrew Alexander in the days when the Daily Mail had half-decent free thinking journalists. The Cuban Crisis of 1962 was the result of the US placing missiles in Turkey close to the USSR’s border.
The Cuban missile crisis was the result of communism
Putin is a thinly disguised communist, he is a practitioner of German socialism
He’s also encouraging people to have children, as are other former soviet nations, often with incentives. And since they’ve avoided the deadly multicult we’ve had forced upon us, they are also one people, patriotic and proud of their cultural heritage.
I feel your pain. My father told me at xmas that my wife, that he has supposed to have loved like a daughter for 26 years, it is was her own fault that she was getting sacked by the NHS. How dare she exercise her human rights and decline an experimental gene therapy drug with no short, medium or long term data on side effects.
Needles to say; I don’t speak to him any more.
Sadly, there are probably millions of families around the world where family members have become estranged over this issue. So thanks for this, Powers that Be.
“Needles to say”… deliberate play?
My best friend of 60 years ended our life-long friendship with an abusive email because I refused to be vaxxed. Apparently I thought I knew better than anybody else, was selfish and a ‘f**king moron’ for my belief that my covid recovery and full antibody count after a blood test was all the protection I needed.
This saddened me, but it’s her loss. In fact, I was surprised how little I missed her. My final communication with her was to tell her that I don’t, never have, worn a mask either!
I am truly sorry that has happened; please allow her the time to realise she may have been wrong due to Project Fear activated by those guilty as charged apparatchiks. “Told you so” is far less impacting, and may I say far less encouraging to someone to think otherwise, than ” I now understand what you were driving at” and a big hug may just follow the latter comment.
In a just society, there would be an objective reckoning. In reality even Nuremburg only got the ‘representative’ big fish.
In post-WW2 Communist Poland, the non-Commie Home Army and Free Polish troops were persecuted.
Our fate is to never be recognised, never thanked, never trusted.
We are right, but won’t win any friends among the foolish, evil and gullible.
Who cares? Did I say, WE ARE RIGHT? Truth is its own reward!
C’EST LA VIE!
Would I do it all over again? Damn right!
To shorten that popular meme: Now we know which side we’re on.
Continue to stand firm good people. You are made of the right stuff and will be vindicated.
WE WILL!!!
As a nation we need to have a serious discussion about the way dissent has been treated over the last 2 years.
It isn’t so much that ‘everyone will turn out to be a critic’ of the policies, but more that there’ll be no-one that will own up to treating people who dared question the policies in a vicious manner, even where there was good science behind the questioning.
And the biggest questions of all should be asked of the ‘nudge units’, that quietly went about the internet to ensure that compliance was encouraged and dissent quashed.
Yes, absolutely. It is absolutely imperative that when people can think rationally again, rather than based on fear, we must make sure this type of power grab cannot be carried out so easily.
It was not just the governments, the advisers who “sexed up” science, models and numbers to give the governments what they wanted, the nudging and mind games. We also need to have a long hard look at opposition parties who do not understand the meaning of the word ‘opposition’, the parliaments and judiciaries who do not understand the absolutely vital importance of the separation of powers and checks and balances.
And above all, an educating of the people at large that all these ‘authorities’ are paid by us, they serve us, they account to us. We are their masters, not the other way around. When we question, they provide genuine and satisfactory answers backed up by facts, not ‘shut up and do as I say’.
As for all the supine doctors and nurses injecting the vaxx without question – who do you think is going to end up getting the blame for all the injuries and deaths? All blame will be passed on to the medical community who are supposed to be the experts when applying medicinal products and should have sounded the alarm as the injuries poured in. Following orders won’t cut it, no one will believe you. You, along with the advisers, will be the scapegoat.
And add in the media. I was talking to a friend this morning who had enjoyed listening to Beth Rigby giving Johnson a hard time about what he knew re the infamous party. She said Johnson was ducking and diving and it was pathetic. My response was well why the HELL weren’t Beth Rigby and her colleagues asking searching questions over the past 2 years instead of going along with everything like puppets? Now they can get something they want (demise of Johnson) by asking searching questions they’re happy to do so. But didn’t do it before because they were just loving the ‘crisis’.
I agree with what you say. Additionally, as viewers were reminded last night on GB News late night Headliners programme, Beth Rigby is a hypocrite. She herself was caught out last year flouting lockdown rules at Kay Burley’s birthday bash.
How about the protesters go round her house then, to have a word?
For Rigby it is just payback – she was suspended for “partying”
And conveniently ignored by the media is the fact that Kim Jong Johnson wouldn’t be accused of rule-breaking if he hadn’t made such evil rules in the first place.
Exactly! It’s not that he broke them… it’s that he made them in the first place!
The war on “rationality”has been going on for at least two decades and the ‘rational’ are currently losing.
They have now corrupted science and the very concept of ‘objectivity’ so vital for rational thought and judgement to triumph.
The very concept of the now so popular (with feminists) “emotional intelligence” now defies rationality. Subjectivity and “feelings” rule!
The Covid ‘Scamdemic’ itself is a major defeat for rationality as we see around us every day.
“Following the science” is the new “following orders”.
This pandemic was the one where ‘science’ forsook its good name.
Rather like virginity, trust is something you can lose only once.
Oh come come John,
You must be very young not to remember Climategate
No – ‘ second rank, craven scientists’ agreed to be bought out and serve their own, Pharma and Billionaire interests.
Gates doesn’t fund the WHO out of “Human Charity ” – he wants a ‘return’. ‘Nothing personal – just business’
Real scientists kept their principles and were ‘cancelled’ by the Media for doing so.
Science shouldn’t be something you follow! It should be something you perpetually question! Next time someone says they’re following the science I shall ask them who’s leading it!
I’ve been trying to follow the flow of political (and allegedly public health) decision-making about covid for the last two years.
I think we need to start with the fact that the Chinese Government has consistently, and malignantly, lied about pretty much everything to do with the matter. It started out by lying about the very existence of the virus, back in November and December 2019. It then lied about the effects of covid within Wuhan and its own borders. And it lied about the effectiveness of the measures it used in an attempt to control the spread of the virus. Pay special attention to this. And it has consistently lied about the origins of the virus. Whether this was something that escaped from a Chinese virus weapons lab, or was a tragic outcome of the atrocious food-safety conditions in Chinese food markets, to my mind makes little difference.
Why the British Government, and the Governments of pretty much every other nation on the face of the planet decided to follow the “Chinese model” – ie. lockdown and complete suspension of human and civil rights – is a question a lot of Governments, and public health officials, need to answer.
We don’t look to 21st century China as a model for agriculture, for family planning, for education, for law and government. We don’t look to China for a model of how to conduct urban planning, or economic development, for aviation safety, for human rights, or the protection of intellectual property rights. We certainly don’t look to China for a model for industrial health and safety or building and construction standards.
There have been a lot of bad decisions, and more than a few bad actors, in this tragedy. But if you are looking for the prime villain, then you need look no further than the Chinese government. Why the governments and public health officials of the rest of the world chose to accede to the Chinese government line is a question that those individuals and institutions need to answer.
Totally agree with the sentiment here. What the heck were “liberal” Western democracies thinking, following a Chinese communist autocracy designed set of policies?
An interesting article from April 2020.
https://www.dw.com/en/what-influence-does-china-have-over-the-who/a-53161220
My take is Trump pulling funding to WHO ($893m p.a.) peed off a lot of people, increased the influence of China ($86m p.a.) and Gates ($902m p.a. through the B&MG Foundation and GAVI) on WHO decision making. China propelled the lockdown narrative, Gates the vaccine narrative through WHO. Western countries, obvs including UK (who gives $435m pa), were then beholden to the playbook WHO put forward. If they had not, what is the point of them being part of the construct, pouring millions into the WHO coffers? Another question has to be why didn’t other major funders such as UK push back hard against this?
Trump became suspicious of China’s take on the virus, and doubled down on his original decision, as shown by this May 2020 comment.
“Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was first discovered by Chinese authorities,” Trump said. “Countless lives have been taken and profound economic hardship has been inflicted all around the globe.”
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/19/us/trump-who-funding-threat-explainer-intl/index.html
Whilst many despise Trump for all sorts of reasons, I suspect his instincts here may well prove accurate.
Are we still allowed to have a serious discussion that isn’t being recorded as “evidence”?
No-one’s gone round to Ms Michie’s house to confront her yet, have they?
My hope is that Laura Dodsworth, who did such a fantastic bit of real journalism for her book A State of Fear, might now be looking at the issue of censorship in the media. It certainly needs a thorough investigation.
“Sorry, that’s unfair. Eddie the Eagle never predicted up to 6,000 Covid deaths a day this winter (actual number: 250).”
correction, actual number somewhere between 0 and 250 and probably closer to 0
Yes, if you accept the ‘250 covid deaths’, you are accepting the whole covid fraud. Pearson is controlled opposition working to get Johnson, and the regime, off the hook. .
Utter shite, she has been consistent in her opposition to lockdown.
“Lockdown” is just the tip of the Covid Iceberg a, means to an end. .
Lockdown is a branch of green ideology.
Indeed it is! Note Johnson, surrounded by Tory blue ties and best blue frocks was sporting his ‘green tie’ today – chosen presumably by the loving Nut Nuts for his special blusterfest occasion (did he think it was a party peghaps?).
Controlled opposition attacks the establishment narrative, but only in ways that the establishment allow. Allison is allowed to voice disapproval of Lockdowns because this form of dissent shores up the governments, “1 in 100 year pandemic” narrative while channelling discussion into how best to deal with the supposed ‘unprecedented’ covid threat.
By reducing debate to an argument over policy, it gives the regime latitude to escape much needed criminal investigation into its behaviour.
What Allison is not allowed to do is discuss, examine or in any way question the core areas of the narrative that facilitated the mass deception. Namely:
The fact that her beloved Boris carried all this out, and more – not because of some minor difference of opinion or policy error, but through deliberate choice, knowing full well what the terrible consequences would be.
Allison will not mention any of this because to do so would threaten the regime and by extension her own privileged position within its system of hierarchy.
This is the very essence of controlled opposition.
At least she provides some opposition! If you throw the above at most people you are immediately an antivax conspirary nut and then you’ve lost their ear. Softly Softly catchee normie!
Controlled or otherwise, she is one of the very few mainstream journalists who has provided any opposition at all to this authoritarian madness. As such, she deserves a great deal of credit in my view.
See my response to Moist Von Lipwig above.
Yes …I am afraid she has been rather disappointing and currently gives more comfort to the powerful ‘enemy’ than to the long suffering and deceived population.
Like others including Farage, she just can’t bring herself to go ‘all the way’!
I do wonder if Ofcom has anything to do with it?
Yes, the Farge is another one. He knows exactly who and what is afoot when it comes to EEC entry, immigration, climate and covid, but refuses to name the beast.
Jeremy Vine on Twitter is sharing this article and agreeing with it. It’s global level gaslighting from one of the biggest cu*ts in the mess.
He’s pushed for longer, harder, more discriminatory restrictions for 2 years. He’s an absolutely disgusting person who has instilled fear and misery into those idiotic enough to listen to his shite.
Now he’s trying to pivot away. He’s even trying to defend himself on Twitter (but is being hammered and righty so).
One of the biggest rats is trying to jump the sinking ship. It makes my blood boil that these tossers are trying to gas light us that they weren’t in on it.
lol – just been looking at his twitter and his pathetic back-pedalling attempts. what an arsehole. this was his lockdown – he wanted it more than anyone
More and more of them doing it, Steve:
Medley (SPI-M): “Our models were a bit wrong, we shouldn’t really have made them so scary.”
Simon Ruda (SPI-B): “Our fear mongering went a bit too far, we shouldn’t really have made the people so scared.”
I’m paraphrasing, but that’s essentially what they said.
the great backpeddle of 2022
Dreadful man. Makes me automatically hit the off switch whenever I hear his voice.
He is vile. ‘The unvaccinated – what should we do with them?’
First, has he started deleting tweets? Second, did anyone get in first and screencap them?
Jeremy Vile. Is anyone surprised?
I’ve never watched JV but from what I’ve gathered here of late he’s a vile detestable fothermucker. Hence my upvote.
I’ve not watched live TV for years, but he was an arse back in the day and seems to have doubled down on it.
Why even mention him ? He is a total nonentity.
I share that emotion about Vine brother.
An absolute masturbator.
Their public utterances will always condemn them, especially Twatter gobshite.
Just found out my sister got jabbed. This is after laying it all out VERY clearly and calmly (most of the time) SINCE FEBRUARY/MARCH 2020.
Why, I asked? “To get my freedom back.”
I told her she’d never lost it. She got a bit antsy at that.
Nice to know my own flesh and blood will give in to blackmailers and undergo a medical procedure for reasons other than her health. NOT.
Sympathies. I have told plenty of my nearest and dearest and few believed me. It is galling but they are the hardest to convince, whereas strangers in the park will listen! A small sop is that people tend to accept those things which can help bind with the spike protein e.g ivm.
95% of my family ran to get vaccinated. They were also running to get boosted. They tried to talk me into getting the vaccine.
So clearly as I always suspected I’m the black sheep.
At the moment I’ve got the ludicrous situation of people saying to me:
Yes, you were right and I was wrong, but at the time you didn’t know that you were right, and all the evidence was that I wasn’t wrong, therefore you were wrong and I was right.
It is a twisted sort of logic. I think that it is keeping people from that final stage, accepting that they were wrong all along (and were lied to). When this happens I fear that people might get rather cross about it all.
Rather cross? I rather hope so. But so far they’re only getting rather cross about Boris’s parties. Rather brilliant, innit?!
It is amazing that the criticism of the Boris Parties is that they broke the rules…
…to me it is obvious that the fact that they were undertaken by the rulemakers suggests that it was known even then that covid was little risk to the non-vulnerable and that the rules that were far too stringent.
+10000
Great point. I’m seeing much more of this lately. Its a total kop out, it also excuses the crimes that were committed by those at the top.
Still trying to gaslight you. Tell them that what they mean is that they did not know that you were right, that you did indeed know all along that you were right. They should not project their inadequacy onto you.
Just say: “The evidence that you had was fraudulent. You didn’t see that and I did. So I was right…”.
This should go down in history as the “Dilbert Defense” Scott Adams said much the same thing on twitter, without actually admitting he was wrong tho, he was roundly skewered, but kept doubling down, comical if it wasn’t so sad.
In the end, though, they’ve got Fauci JunkJuice in their veins and you don’t.
Is a “Fauci Junkie” someone who has reached 100 boosters?
I once asked a doctor about stents. I had three put in during an angioplasty to check what was causing my angina. As I recall, he told me there was someone in the US with about 25 of the things inside their body. It’s amazing what the human body can withstand. I’m sure someone out there could probably take 10 boosters (perhaps for the Guinness Book of Records) and get off Scot free. There is a record here waiting to be claimed by some brave idiot.
BillyWillyJuice?
If ‘the evidence’ meant that you didn’t mind that the vaccines were on ‘temporary approval’, the pharmas were fully indemnified against any harm accruing, that medics were routinely ascribing covid to deaths where someone had been ‘heard coughing’, that there had been criticism of Imperial’s modelling (notwithstanding Ferguson’s previous), and the number of those who ‘knew better’ who were caught flaunting their own rules.
Five stages of grief:
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.
Having an office/garden party was the only sane thing the Pig Dictator did in the past two years
Yes. The masses begged for something to be done, and that something was offered.
But those in power know that it was unnecessary.
The question is should they have done more to educate the public? I’d say that there was so much extreme covid-lockdown (later, vaccine) propaganda worldwide for governments to have an easy time if they said ‘no problem’ — there would always be the cry that every single death was caused by not enough being done, and that if only we’d done more there’d have been no deaths.
People are stupid, they demand stuff that doesn’t make sense and decry stuff that does.
They’d have had a difficult time to start with, but when the doomsters’ predictions completely failed to come true (as would certainly have been the case) they would have been vindcated.
It needed someone who would take an unpopular (at the time) decision, take the flak, and hold their nerve for a month or so. Johnson clearly didn’t have the balls for it – Tegnell did, and a few state governors in the US, plus probably Bolsonaro, but that seems to have been about it.
Not quite the only sane thing Cecil, right at the very beginning he said “Britain will have to take this on the chin” but that was before he got Ferguson’d.
Unfortunately, Allison Pearson constantly goes on about the amazing vaccine rollout and the great job it has done (or as we call it, “fuck all”).
Her ‘co-pilot’, Halligan’, is a firm supporter of mandatory jabs for care workers and the NHS.
Pearson and Halligan might have not supported the lockdowns, but they sure supported plenty of the other bollocks the Fat Twat threw at us.
I’m glad you made this point. She needs to temper her triumphalism by admitting she was wrong about the “wonderful” vaccination programme.
They are controlled opposition. Its how they maintain their positions. They are responsible for implementing the oppressors tactic of Limited Hangout.
I’m pretty sure she agreed with the lockdowns at the start, too. Happy to be corrected on that, she’s generally done sterling work since, apart from the daft vaccine cheerleading.
I think I’m right in saying that her colleague Sherelle Jacobs was commendably expressing anti-lockdown sentiments as early as mid 2020 but seemed, for better or worse, to escape the attention of many people..
Yes…sadly so does Dan Wootton ( it must be in their contracts – like mentioning a sponsor: ‘ This broad/podcast is brought to you by Pfizer!))
…and Mark Dolan. On every other aspect of the draconian measures they are pretty well spot on. This loyalty to the vaccine programme is difficult to explain considering Dan Wootton has interviewed both Mike Yeadon and Robert Malone and heard their views on the disproportionate vaccine risks for the majority of people jabbed, and even possibly the old and/or vulnerable.
Under the German occupation 2% of the French population were members of the resistance
By late 1945 that number had grown to 100%
However they rewrite history we know who we are and we know what we did
Maybe we could finally ditch picking at French forever about Vichy? It’s easy to be smart since last time British Isles were occupied were in, what, Roman times? Norman? France bled enough of youth in I World War; every town and village square has a monument with names of the dead. Coming from the nation that had always some uprising or revolution coming shortly I appreciate a bit less hotheaded attitude to giving away children to be killed by the enemy.
But in the fog of war it just took a long time to process the applications. It’s a bit like trying to get a driving test these days.
Allison and Liam have been a beacon of light. Planet Normal has been the best Podcast highlighting the insanity of failing to apply the common sense test. (sorry Toby and James who get an honourable mention)
Praise is due to all the sceptics who have kept us sane the last 2 years.
The old adage, How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving, has never been more true than in the last 2 years.
Also: Important point.. suggesting that lockdowns are harmful and dangerous is no longer a dissenting view. TPTB are happy to concede this so that they can be used as a backstop/threat if we are not compliant in what seems to be the ultimate aim: a vaccine-based subscription system ultimately linked to CBDCs.
Will Allison now take this argument to its next most obvious conclusion? There was no need for lockdowns, or any of the other Rockefeller Lockstep measures, because there was no ‘novel virus’ pandemic?
There were the usual illness/deaths from colds, flu and pneumonia, plus an iatrogenic induced death toll that was categorised as ‘covid’ mortality using the newly imposed, WHO-derived, entireley fruadulent, death registration process.
And when these deaths dried up, the fraudsters relied on masks and a contrived, but wholly bogus, ‘casedemic’ to keep the hoax going.
With the whole deception being orchestrated by a clique of NWO activists and their political puppets using a bogus testing system utililising a theoretical ‘in silico’ genome sequence never actually found in humans.
When Allison and the Telegraph finally admit these things, when thy call for those responsibe to face justice, then that is when I will accept that this vast murderous deception, unleashed upon an unsuspecting public by evil-doers for personal gain, is finally coming to an end.
Until that moment arrives, Allison, and the Telegraph, remain part of the problem.
With you 100% C.
People are putting champagne on ice on the basis of a comment piece in The Telegraph? This is crackers.
Thousands have died needlessly, thousands more are going to die before 2030, doctor’s, civil servants, politicians, armed services, indeed the whole civil service system must now go under a spotlight.
What happens to the care home staff? The sacked to be replaced by illegal immigrants?
What about the NHS staff to be dismissed for refusing to be injected with poisons?
What about a virtually collapsed NHS?
What about all the failed businesses?
The scam of “Eat out…” which many establishments abused?
I could go on.
Retribution visited upon the guilty is a must.
Over?
Bloody wishful thinking.
The fact she went 18 months without visiting her mother tells us that she believed the science – if she cannot acknowledge that there was no need to avoid her mother (apart from if either was symptomatic), then she remains part of the MSM opposition.
No, Allison will not take it to its most obvious conclusion – that’s the big problem.
Indeed, that is a problem because it holds free thinking back. Btw was she really a sceptic? Did she not say those who were not vaccinated were wrong, words to that effect?
Let’s see how this “vaccine” keeps the lurgy at bay shall we?
The peak of absurdity for me was the debate over the anti-viral properties of a scotch egg (aka ‘substantial meal’).
My absurdity highlights are:-
The most dangerous plague in history, but you can combat it with a mask made from an old T-shirt (instructions on the government’s own website);
The Dance of the Masks when in a pub or restaurant…..mask on when you stand up, mask off when you sit down, mask on again to go to the loo, mask off when you return to the table. People actually did this, and are STILL doing it, as I witnessed on Sunday.
They are indeed, H, as I witnessed on Saturday in my local (none of the regulars wear masks), but I can go one better. The person I saw doing this stepped outside the pub for a ciggie; he pulled the nappy (one of those stupid blue paper things) down for a drag, then back up and blew the smoke through it. I’m surprised he didn’t choke to death.
We all know that smoke particles are hundreds (thousands?) of times bigger than the ‘virus’ yet they got through the mask; I wonder if he does.
Thanks for the laugh, C! I can well believe it. I’ve seen mask wearers with their mask on their chin while they have a ciggie, but never that!
Is it possible the person you saw was doing this to make a point to any onlookers? Wishful thinking on my part maybe.
But that was the science ‘innit’. If the covids stray below an altitude of 4 feet they get the bends and die. It all makes perfect sense. They should have done a survey of dwarves (sorry don’t know the pc term) I bet there isn’t a single case anywhere in the world.
Locking people in their houses or flats except for one hour a day, and a brief shop, so that some could get virtually no vitamin D was, for me, one of the very stupidest and most absurd ideas.
But feeling like you might be caught and charged and labelled as a criminal for daring to make a car journey to charge your battery up- one in which you never got out of your car other than at home, came close.
That’s what happens when emotion and subjectivity triumph over objectivity, reason and rationality – its now a ‘cultural thing’ throughout our pc Wokist society.
For anyone who hasn’t read the article, the one i really liked was the neighbour who wouldn’t hang her washing out to dry ‘in case her sheets ‘got’ Covid and infected everyone in the family’.
The image i enjoyed was the two metre spaced footprints in cash machine queues, yet they were shoulder to shoulder spaced going the other way! The virus doesn’t travel sideways!
For me it was hearing an ‘expert’ advise that if you were having a BBQ you should make sure you operated a one way system. And there was also some silly woman (Radio 2 listener) who said that until every bat was inoculated, none of us was safe from the virus !
I fear Michael Gove’s ‘admission’ is simply part of manouevring himself into position to be a leadership candidate. From what he has said about Covid passes/vaccine passports (I confess I can’t remember the exact words), as someone who does not want to be forced to have injection, I would be very worried if he replaced Boris.
This 100%.
I am a Scots Indy voting leftist sceptic. To be be honest given the way our electoral system and bought media prop up Sturgeon and her neo-glob clique I might be turning unionist. Yet the idea of Gove as PM of the U.K. would really put the afterburners on Indy. To paraphrase Widdecome describing Michael Howard; “There’s something of the shite about him”.
I see what you did there.
Gove could only win if unopposed, which won’t happen. He could weasel his way to a no2 slot though. Hunt and Gove, what a frightful thought.
Bluntly, Gove looks like a child molester. A man who looks like that can’t win an election.
Well, Bunter looks like a rubbish bin wrapped in a suit, but he managed it.
Sunak will breeze it if he wants it. And that would be terrible news for all of us as he clearly works for Gates et al with his savage destruction of small businesses.
“Business” for him starts at the Millionaire level and upwards.
Hunt stood up in the Commons and demanded that children be vaxxed!
He is a dangerous Globalist and should be allowed nowhere near the top job.
“Very Worried?”
Deborah you are the master of understatement.
Anyone know why his wife got rid of him? The fragrant Sarah Vine.
He’s transgender.
For me, the sight of a children’s slide covered with hazard tape in a park in Hebden Bridge is one of the most abiding memories. I remember finding is so inhuman and cruel, that I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Agree here. A very bad time in history
The very same in Saddleworth CG. Over this side swings were removed, two swings became one. The smaller play areas were padlocked.
Utterly depressing.
Two groups have borne the brunt of this madness, the children and the old. And children are still suffering.
Criminal.
What about the little Chinese girl playing with a few toys inside a bubble-wrapped cube. Horrendous cruelty.
Who put that tape on the slide? Name and shame them! This is what needs to be done, not just moaning about it.
I knew we would all be on the right side of history. Any sane person could see it. Well done all.
problem is how few sane people there are
What I do enjoy is proffering my hand for a shake after golf, it can be very revealing !!!
A striking and sobering list of the truly absurd and completely avoidable tragedy.
I’m afraid any kind of official who cannot prove that they were speaking up and speaking out from very early on can just fuck right off.
I feel we are winning – or as a WW2 analogy – we’ve just had Pearl Harbour and know its just a matter of time before final unconditional surrender.
Well done to everyone involved in the Battle of Britain and a big fuck off to all the people who thought we hadn’t a chance and should ‘come to an agreement’ with Hitler.
Excellent list from Allison Pearson.
At one point you could meet a family member in a cafe where there was a till, but not in your own house.
Still now, if you have an unvaccinated person staying with you who has recently returned from a foreign country, they have to stay at your address for 10 days and are not allowed to go out through your gate, but you can invite a crowd of people inside to meet them every day, and you yourself can go in and out between your house and a different crowded bar every hour if you can manage it. Patently obviously the restrictions had (and still have) eff-all to do with combatting a threat of deathly respiratory infection.
As an unjabbed person arriving from Thailand to my friends house I took no notice of the ‘restrictions’.
I know others who did the same.
I am normally a lae abiding person but all the ‘rules’ were so absurd that in my opinion needed to be broken.
My view exactly. I have never paid attention to za roolz.
But is he calling now for an end to restrictions? No… thought not! Man’s a twat!
The ‘grass snake’ version of the spectactled cobra.
I said at the beginning it would be like voting for Blair, no one will admit to falling for the scam eventually. My uncle, used to walk every day, head for a seat in the park, sit for a while before walking back when they taped the seat up he stopped going, he died in June
Just how the Hell can anyone on here think this is anywhere near even beginning to be over.
Just look around you, and take 5 minutes to watch the BBC news (If you dare):-
1.Compulsory “vaccines” for NHS employees – job done already with care workers and barely a whimper from MP.s or, quelle surprise, the MSM.
2.The bastard child of covid, “Health” Passports, Lol, still very much alive and hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles. Digital ID looms.
3.Insane health policies, – banning of ivermectin, masks etc.
4.No end in sight for the bastard nudge unit.
5.No end in sight for the British Covid Service, erstwhile the BBC.
6.The NHS is now the National Covid/Vaccination Service.
7.Vaccination approved for even younger kids. Catch them young eh. Is it Hitler Youth, human shields or a bit of both.
8.The judicial system/human rights trashed.
9.The jabbees immune systems trashed.
And you think we’re winning!
We’ve got to keep going, demonstrate, stick posters up, convert a sheep a day, bombard your MP with vitriolic sarcasm and keep reminding them of Nuremburg, etc.
We’ve got the biggest fight on our hands since WW2, possibly ever, and we haven’t even got an Army.
I agree. This is just the end of the beginning. It’s an Alamein, not a Stalingrad.
All of what you say is true Sforzesca, I think that we are clearly on the winning side, but this no time for complacency. We do need to keep protesting and now that we have (I think) an advantage we need to press the advantage home.
Incidentally, my MP is (mostly) on our side; he voted against the accursed and satanic ‘vaccine passports’ and is against compulsory vaccination. If you do have such an MP please write and thank them; so when you say (quite rightly for over 80% of them) bombard them with vitriolic sarcasm, I will not do it for my MP.
Your comparison with WW2 is quite apposite; virtually the whole of Europe has succumbed to medical fascism, now, like then, England is alone, apart from a few states in America. We haven’t even got the Commonwealth ‘on side’. Sweden was neutral in WW2, by the way,
Sweden wasn’t neutral – they let the Germans in.
“Perhaps the most important aspect of Sweden’s concessions to Germany during the Second World War was the extensive export of iron ore for use in the German weapons industry, reaching ten million tons per year.”
“Sweden accepted payments from the Allies to compensate for this loss of income through reduced trade with Germany, but continued to sell steel and machine parts to Nazi Germany at inflated smugglers’ rates.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_during_World_War_II
Without Swedish iron ore Gemany would have had no tanks.
You didn’t even mention Zero Carbon.
This evil behemoth will soon make Zero Covid look as upsetting as a cracked Hob Nob at a vicarage tea party.
One of the most likely ideas as to the overwhelming acceptance of the cruelty and insanity of “Covid Rules” is that it has been a warm up routine for Zero Carbon and the root and branch destruction of the West.
That plus the massive brown envelopes for our ‘elite’, naturally.
Exactly. C1984 will segue into Global Warming / Climate Change bollox which as you rightly say will make what we have gone through these last two years look like a tea party.
If anything is approaching an end it’s just their warm up.
Bliar got his “Sir” from Brenda on the basis that he’d all but delivered on digital ID. Is she now going to take it back?
We are a long way from out of this Hell.
CBDC?
Central bank digital currencies. The end of cash.
Thank goodness I am not on my own.
There’s the Alpha Men Assemble – I thought they were going to ‘do something’ after they’d finished punching empty pizza boxes???
Like numerous others on here I have been ridiculed, condemned and shouted down for daring to deny ‘the narrative. And there are STILL people who believe the lies of the BBC.
I too saw those insulting messages on lampposts throughout our town; where possible (it was not always possible) I tore them down.
A children’s play area near me was closed by some killjoy local authority jobsworth; I tore down the notice and put it in the bin. The next day kids were playing in it. The notice never went back.
When people swerved to avoid me I swerved towards them.
Some QR codes appeared on the lampposts outside our church. I tore them down.
There was some sort of rainbow thing about the NHS on the entrance to our church. I removed it.
When I went into our church for prayer during Holy Week 2021, I saw all the ‘police tape’ cordoning off various chairs; I felt like Christ encountering the money changers in the temple, ‘my house shall be called a house of prayer and you have turned it into an antiseptic hell’ was my reaction. I contented myself with desecrating the ‘covid shrine’ with a ‘Back to Normal’ postcard. I didn’t have the guts to remove all the tape and burn it, as I didn’t want to get our Rector into trouble. What support would he get from his Bishop? None at all of course.
I have NEVER worn a face-nappy in church and I am not going to start now. And for that, of course, I got criticism.
And now all the windows in buses are open. I close them but several times phenomenally stupid people attempt either to open them again and/or remonstrate with me. They do not get any change.
On the other hand, whenever I see a customer assistant without those disgusting face-nappies I compliment them and try always to be served by them, even if it takes a bit longer.
People might regard my actions as childish; maybe they were but I am totally unrepentant and I would do it all, and more, again.
The sad fact is that a very large number of Christians in churches actually agree with all this twaddle. I know who they are and they know that I know who they are. If they attempt to pretend that they knew it was all rubbish they will not get a very kind response; they will be (like Wes Streeting) guilty of hypocrisy. If they admit their sin (which is what it is) I will be much more gentle.
Anthropologists would study the rainbow thing if they had the guts, which they don’t. More than their jobs are worth! (If there any exceptions to this, the best of luck to you!)
The rainbow flag is the flag of the globalist occupiers.
Yes it is!
Believing the lies of the BBC must now surely classified as a notifiable mental condition, requiring secure confinement?
The role of the mainstream media (with a few exceptions like Alison and Fraser Nelson, has been pivotal in propping up this quasi- pandemic. Today the “Independent” a virtual rag which exists at the whim of oligarchs is busy in denial talking about Omicron as if it had just been discovered and wasn’t basically the cold. Even those of us less inclined to conspiracy than the collusion of of self-serving interest groups, have to wonder. Obviously the click-fear dimension but when even unhinged zero-zealots like Sturgeon, Jason Leitch and The rest here in Scotland are handbrake-turning like mad out of restrictions they say we’re designed to prevent a tsunami, you wonder if there really is a desire to use Covid as a political strategy now. For example, as a residual wedge issue to counteract Brexit (in which I voted remain), and supported by that cabal of “experts” who don’t want to get off the stage.
A Scottish Independent voting Remain?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-60046073
“Scotland’s national clinical director Prof Jason Leitch says that things are “hopeful” across the UK in terms of Covid cases.
He says it looks as though “in the next little while” Scotland will be over the peak of Omicron which is why the country is able to consider easing protections.”
“in a little while”? this cretin should look at the actual data (however ropey). Omicron has all but disappeared.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=nation&areaName=Scotland
A bit of Orwell speak there – restrictions are now “protections.”
FFS.
Not listed above but listed in the article is the recommendation from Hilary Jones to wear masks on the beach and while swimming.
What a complete and utter tube.
It advised that we wear our masks on the beach here in Thailand.
Hmmmm looking round can’t see anyone wearing one.
Do they wear anything on the beaches in Thailand?
Suffering from the ‘Boy Named Sue’ syndrome, surely?
He’s a prize plum, he advised a publican whose pub had been shut to ‘stick to pulling pints’ after he barred Keir Starmer from the pub.
Jones is apparently unaware that the government shut his pub.
The government ‘guidelines were interpreted in many different ways by council jobsworths. and individual businesses.
And, of course, have been an absolte Godsend.
A Godsend, that is for the lazy, the incompetent and the evil.
Any problem immediately soothed away as ‘becauseCovid’.
We’re already well tuned to the alternative ‘becauseClimate’.
We’ve won nothing yet, and can never be given back the time that was stolen.
I have relearnt, however, the truth of ‘original sin’; that people are essentially prone to deception, lying, and going with the stream, that our people are little or no better than those who followed the German Nazi regime, that we have not progressed from the people of Dickens’ time who liked to attend a public hanging, that many people (and especially MSN commenters) swoop in to tar and feather any who do not follow mainstream narratives, or who might be in a minority pour out vitriol, and then deny they ever did such a thing when the narrative changes.
I have relearnt that canines are more straightforward as a species than human beings, and more loyal too.
I knew, (as a past Rector I knew used to say) that “dead fish float downstream”. I was shocked to see how many did just exactly that, re covid19, being apparently unable to accomplish basic critical thinking for themselves. I don’t think I knew before how many people just don’t think, but gullibly open their mouths and swallow opinions, to be regurgitated (and admired) as and when. I didn’t know how many (even apparently intelligent graduates) had just got out of the habit of thinking at all.
I don’t think I will forget these things.
So much this ^^^^^^^^^^
“It means pressures on the NHS may have peaked at just over 2,000 admissions a day – very much in best-case scenario territory.
A key factor in that – alongside the boosters – was the limited mixing people did over the festive period.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60047438
The often decent Nick Triggle is embarrassing himself here. There is no evidence for either assertion and most likely that its because Omicron is at worst a runny nose.
In terms of both absurdity and obscenity, the ongoing refusal of German
euthanasia clinicsmurder pods toservekill the unvaccinated takes some beating.How long before the headline reads;
”LockdownVaccine safety Sceptics Were Pilloried, Sacked and Cancelled – But Now People Agree We Were Right”Mark Sexton will then get a peerage.
Step forward the biggest villain of the last two years. I give you…..
The Great British public (the vast majority of them anyway).
And don’t imagine they will go gentle into that Good Night …
They were fed lies, day after day.
So were we.
And never thought to ask ´Hang on a minute…?’
Not were.
Still are.
^^^^^ This 100%.
There are still plently of bedwetting knobends on Twatter and Arsebook claiming this “deadly virus” is the End of Days.
Perhaps, given the extent of rampant debt nowadays, they’re just hoping for the End of Days as an alternative to budgeting for years?
They ATE lies, day after day…
Incuriosity isn’t villainy, but it’s not good for one’s health, either.
Probably wishful thinking, but I hope the authorities, MSM and vaccinated ask/beg those who haven’t been conned, bullied or coerced into having their clot shot to come forward. As we the pure bloods probably have in our veins natural immunities to help those stupid enough to get “vaccinated” with this potentially dangerous experimental mRNA inoculation, which from previous form makes people more susceptible to wild viruses.
But as I say probably wishful thinking.
Tears in my eyes reading some of those accounts. Not just, I think, due to the personal accounts themselves, but also because harrowing accounts such as these shine a burning, revealing searchlight, onto our species. The intensity of this revealing light is such that averting or closing one’s eyes is no impediment to the glare.
So sad.
https://truth11.com/2022/01/18/the-police-has-been-ordered-to-shut-down-all-vaccine-centres-in-uk/
I think this is Amanda de Buisseret speaking to the police officer in this video where she details the charges against the government, although there is no information on this link
It looks like collecting bonkers ‘lockdown’ stories could become a national passtime.
I can’t beat some of those on Pearson’s list, but when I was in Ludlow last year I went to a cash machine (yes, I like to live dangerously) which proudly stated: ‘This cash has been isolated for 72 hours’.
my Mum still cuts the handles off the plastic bags her shopping is delivered in. beyond mental
she also has a room where delivered post can isolate for 2 days before being opened
I know people who isolated post and non perishable shopping in a small room for a few days. They kept this up until late last year. I know another who, back in the spring of 2020, used to change all her clothes after returning from the supermarket, and wash them!
This is not just the fault of the modellers but it’s how their work was interpreted by public health officials, by the media…
It IS the fault of the modellers. They get their money from the officials, and provide what they want to hear.
Wait till someone looks at the far huger scandal which is Climate Change… .
The park benches and playgrounds must be the no1 sci-op. Shutting sports stadiums in summer 2020 was another.
Alison has produced some great writing but was a vaccine fanatic, like the rest of them. Waiting for the vaccine roll out though prolonged the ruinous winter shutdowns, along with the bribe money frittered away, that bought compliance.
The whole policy the vile Hancock parroted day after day was supress the virus until the vaccine cavalry is here. That was the real damaging policy. The winter shutdowns last year were baked into that policy.
The Telegraph has published quite a lot of sceptic articles over the last two years but notably these have been sceptic about the lockdown measures – not the vaccines. Vaccine scepticism is strictly verboten there. Probably something to do with the big Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donations made to them which presumably finance the “Global Health Security” team there.
The Vaccines were and still are an irrelevance. Vaccines are not ideological, lockdown and restrictions are.
Modelling is a fraud when you do not include all the relevant parameters-aka Ferguson
And when you add a series of false assumptions before extrapolating them into apocalyptic gibberish.
Throwing a famous sportsman out of a competition for not taking a drug has to be a first as well.
“Times they are a changin” as the great Mr Robert Zimmerman said…It would appear, as many in the sceptic/conspiracy REALIST club have posited for two or three months now, that the insidious narrative IS a changin! The few stones that started too skitter down the plandemic mountainside several weeks ago, have turned into a fucking great bolder! The mounting avalanche of evidence supplied by the apostles of truth could not be denied for ever, “you can fool some of the people some of the time” etc etc.
I’ve been saying for a while, 2022 is the year that the card’s fall. The monumental Luciferian evil of the group of psychotic bastards that has planned and then implemented “the biggest lie in history” is truly staggering. In my opinion it now goes one of two ways….The psychotic oligarchy has pushed the plan too far and too fast, they’ve made mistakes with so many elements, vax for kid’s, top up jabs, suppression of IVM etc, but the fundamental mistake was placing scurrilous, hubristic fucking idiot’s like Johnson, Macron, Trudeau, Vonderleyen, Andrews, Adhern, Biden and Fauci et al in charge of facilitating said plan! The plan now fall’s, the biggest bonfire of the establishment in history start’s and head’s will roll and sanctamonious bodies will burn…but not theirs. They are too powerful, too wealthy, too well prepared for just this scenario, they will fade into the shadows and try again in 10/15/20 years? Or they will use their vast power and wealth to try and impose their will through force of arms, financial penalty, threat of incarceration etc! But this scenario brings great risk for them and their’s. We are billions, they few, if they fail…THEY DIE!
Well, I’m with Bob Seely on his summation of how wilfully incompetent this fiasco has been.
Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson may written a cracking column but how much damage has been done by the Daily Telegraph not giving us the full facts behind PCR test, the Great Reset, or not mentioning the likes of Dr Mike Yeadon? There has obviously been a lot mire that could have been mentioned.
The only really criticism from the Telegraph has been that the Government overreacted a bit.

There have been lockdown opponents in the Telegraph, there have also been Branch Covidians.
They shouldn’t be lumped together.
The hypocrisy and back-pedalling of the previous lockdown fanatics is indeed infuriating, but at least the tide appears to be turning in the U.K. Over here in Belgium, they are continuing to ignore the mounting evidence of the uselessness (not to mention the hazards) of the so-called vaccines, the unjabbed are treated as second-class citizens and politicians are seriously talking about forced vaccinations for all. Awful.
Look no further than Brussels. Useless vd Leyen giving pfisser ceo Bourla a big old cuddle, probably whispering in his ear a bless you for the ‘donation to her favourite charity’ as a thank you for her saying the EU would buy a gazillion doses of
poisonvaxx to ‘keep Europeans safe’.Brussels – the end of lobbying and paying off politicians across 27 countries and now only having to have a handful of eurocrats on board instead. Large corporations of the world thank mammon every day for the Brussels eurocracy.
They’ve got form, they’ve kept the flailing euro going, the behemoth that is Brussels, jabbing an unwilling population with useless, toxic sludge for years fits right in.
Spot on, I’m afraid. I did not vote for Brexit but the last couple of years has proved it to be the correct decision. Thank goodness we are now at arm’s length from the authoritarian hellscape that the EU is becoming. The covid madness has been ghastly enough in the U.K. but it is way worse here and I see no sign of improvement under current leadership.
Something amiss here.
According to this thread the war is over.
According to the News Round-up nothing has changed.
I can’t work this out.
I feel the same!! I read encouraging articles only then to see discouraging articles!
Checking back in my emails I sent my first “this is madness, there is no need for lockdowns or restrictions” email to my MP at the end of April 2020 and have been sending emails packed full of contra-narrative data and information ever since then.
So my MP can’t pretend that there weren’t opposing views and can’t claim not to have seen the data supporting these opposing views.
For the last two years he has just sent back standard responses saying that the government is following “the experts”. Of course they were only following the experts who gave them the advice they wanted to hear – plenty of other experts with differing views were sidelined or even cancelled from social and/or mainstream media.
While there is clear evidence that those at senior levels in government were quite deliberate in their determination to impose lockdowns and restrictions and roll out the vaccines despite knowing they weren’t the solution and that they also weren’t safe, I think at the individual MP level, sadly many of them are just very low grade individuals with little or no ability to understand scientific, technical or mathematical issues and so were putty in the hands of the “experts” and were content just to parrot the party line rather than raise their heads above the parapet or do any difficult thinking.
I am looking forward to sending the mother of all “I told you so” emails to my MP but it will just bounce off him like everything else.
I too have done exactly the same with my brown-nosing MP except I ended each email with ‘I am sending this information so that you can never say you were unaware’.
He doesnt even bother to send back the standard party line anymore but he does send out a weekly ‘news email’ in which he continues to bleat all the government misinformation and scaremongering and I’ve kept everyone of them as well.
He’ll just say that government had to show a united front, even if he personally was not always in favour of every measure.
Like PM Rutte here keeps bleating on how “we have to do this together, we agreed we would do things this way”. Obviously referring to the royal we, I know I never agreed to jack. Nor did all the shops and restaurants and sports schools he shut down for months on end, many of which have gone or will go bankrupt – while he and his buddies lost not one single cent. We – there are 2 ‘We’s’ in this debacle, he should note there are a lot more of us than there are of them.
My mother’s last few weeks could have been less unpleasant if I had been allowed to visit her in hospital. But they didn’t let me. They also lost her hearing aid, without which she was profoundly deaf, so she just lay there, aged 88, isolated, and wasted away. And I didn’t know.
Her remaining friends were anxious about going to her funeral and some didn’t attend. We were only allowed 25 attendees anyway, and no opportunity to meet up afterwards in the time honoured and very necessary part of the ritual to share memories. My sister who lives in the USA couldn’t attend as the restrictions and regulations were impenetrable, draconian and speaking pragmatically, expensive. She joined the ceremony by FaceTime.
The crematorium did not allow ‘committal’ proceedings. I could have watched her coffin disappear through the curtains standing outside on a TV. I choose not to.
To visit Tenerife in November 2020, I had to have a negative PCR test swabbed no more than 72 hours before checking into my accommodation, not for the flight, not for immigration. The logistics of actually making that happen are too long and boring to recount here, but happily the negative certificate was emailed to me ahead of schedule the night before my flight was due to depart. It could just as easily have been a positive result emailed to me en route, 12 hours later.
At the airport, social distancing and masks were obligatory. During boarding and for the entire flight the cabin crew berated us about social distancing, in spite of the fact that I was elbow to elbow with the other passengers. Masks were obligatory. We were disembarked by row because social distancing and berated some more. It could have been a piece of performance art entitled ‘cognitive dissonance’. I finally checked into my accommodation on production of my negative Covid test certificate. In spite of the fact that I had been sitting on top of about 200 complete strangers and breathing the same air in an aircraft for about 4 hours between taking the test swab and arriving in Tenerife.
Sorry to hear about your experience with your mother’s treatment and death. My late mother was a similar age when she was admitted to hospital seven years ago and was subjected to much the same neglect. Fortunately, being pre-Covid, we had the opportunity to witness what was happening and managed to prevent her death at the hands of the ‘saintly’ NHS but it wasn’t easy being up against insipid institutionalised euthanasia.
Your comment about your mother’s hearing aid jumped out at me as another contributor on these discussion threads (The old bat – that’s their name, not my ad hominem description!) mentioned a day or two ago that the family had discovered that their late father in law’s two hearing aids had gone missing some time before his death during the so-called pandemic. Isolation and Alzheimers combined had, as in your case, prevented this being discovered sooner but the ‘misfortune’ would have certainly exacerbated any distress that the gentleman might have been suffering.
All I have deduced from hearing anecdotal evidence over the years is that the NHS as an institution seems to routinely revel in sadistic treatment of elderly folk.
I used to be a real believer in the system, work hard, pay your taxes and vote and everything will be OK.
My world-view was demolished as I witnessed Europe open its doors millions of “teachers and nurses” from the Middle East in 2015 which has continued ever since and more recently this obsession with BLM and diversity (I realise not everybody is on the same page as me on that one).
I still thought there was hope that the people would realise this system is completely at odds with their own interests. That too has been completely shattered, watching these idiots triple vaxx and double mask and realising…these people are allowed to vote.
Yes, many people gradually come round to our way of thinking, but two serious matters tend to remain even then:
Uptick for Valiant-for-Truth. Been re-reading Mr Standfast lately.
There’s no comfort in being (eventually) proved right after the damage is done. Conspiracy theorists have an excellent record of their predictions becoming true, but no one acknowledges it.
I think the plandemic has been a massive success for the conspirators, it’s frustratingly disappointing that the likes of middle class liberals such as the administration of this site immediately think of fictional James Bond villains when criminal conspirators of the political/ruling class are accused of crimes against humanity.
It only shows how effective deep state propaganda is. The neoliberal rules based order will only ever lead to incessant rule making, perpetual implementation of ever more restrictive rules. The west has become a fascistic technocratic regime governed by unaccountable NGOs, defended by the “educated” middle class. This is only going one way, and I don’t like its direction of travel.
The future is depressing & terrifying, there is nothing to pat yourself on the back for.
Sorry Toby but I must disagree. This article is garbage from the opening paragraph to the last word.
Funny the number of people turning out to have been sceptics all along!
So we were right. Now watch:
Covidians pivot
Covidians turn into ‘long-time sceptics’
Covidians claim our credit
Covidians gain recognition for ending the scamdemic
Covidian rank and file never admit they were fooled
Covidians gaslighting/backpeddaling the whole world
Mass destruction of evidence and rewriting of history
In the end we cant even stop them lying about lying.
All we have is the truth, and only we can handle the full truth.
The others are just buzzards, and craven vultures.
Oh yes: it’s not even over yet!
Of course we were right – and right about so much more that still only a minority can bring themselves to accept as fact on here!
Lockdowns are just one of many means or tools to achieve a dystopian end for humanity – – so many still refuse to see and accept the truly dehumanising darkness of that end.
The most grotesque absurdity of them all was the initial one: believing always-wrong Pantsdown and his ridiculous ‘modelling’.
Especially when he had tried it all before with the Swine flu attempted scam!
Maybe it’s the end of the beginning, but it could just be the start if WW3 kicks off and the war gets ‘hot’. (NOTE TO MILITARY PLANNERS: please make sure you do not use any weapons that might destroy the climate. Sticks and stones, bows and arrows – that sort of thing only please!)
I think people should stop using the term ‘Nuremburg 2.0’ though. If it is anything like the version 1 of the trial, then we can expect:
2 might be the most interesting bit, but as long as 1 keeps happening not much will change.
“Judgement Day” is probably a better term – and there’s probably more chance of the biblical version of that actually happening
To be honest I will always have a small grin on my face when the long term consequences of the jabs come home to roost. All of my family said I was a fool, my youngest sister even claimed I was making up my own Science. They have changed every cell in their bodies. I have not. Touche.
Where are they at at the moment in terms of dawning realisation?
I’m a competition sabre fencer of 20 years. Following the first lockdown and before the second, we were required to wear masks under our fencing masks.
This meant that many fencers’ glasses became steamed up, leading to people becoming disorientated with (admittedly blunt) weapons in their hands.
Furthermore, the referee — who’s job it is to stop a bout in the event of a sword breakage or other dangerous development — couldn’t be heard properly on account of also being masked up.
Still, what’s a serious injury compared to a virus with a 99.98% recovery rate, eh?
Ah yes, the good ol’ commies, our unblemished allies in a war against the nasty nazis.
Just to think that while such honoration was being gushed by the commies towards those fighting with them against their enemies, us lot were rallying up Russian and Ukrainian soldiers who begged for asylum and tried to flee from being returned to the clutches of good ol’ Uncle Joe.
Operation Keelhaul, they called it.
Meanwhile the terrible German public, women and children, were raped and murdered in countless numbers by the Soviets. This while thousands of their men were paraded through the streets of Moscow – few returned to Germany alive.
Gosh, I would have felt so proud to be recognised by the glorious communists as a good fighter for their cause.
I now know that Allison Pearson for the Telegraph feels the same!
At the Australian Open last year, spectators were forced to leave a match halfway through because of a new Victoria lockdown coming into effect at midnight. Even though they had been sitting together in the stadium for hours, this became an existential threat at 12:00:00am and they were ordered to disperse.
The eventual winner of the match, in front of a suddenly empty stadium, was ….. Novak Djokovic.
My friend’s husband was not allowed to go to hospital for his cancer treatment in case he caught covid. Guest what? His cancer killed him quicker.
Are the scientists who now claim that their models were “only worst case scenarios” the same people who were on TV, radio and social media day and night demanding ever more draconian restrictions or have I got this wrong?
Allison Pearson is wise to record all these personal memories of the madness we experienced and the harm that was done. I am fortunate to be of a sunny disposition and let most of the unhappiness and frustrations of life fade naturally in my memory but these need to be remembered. Although they vary in severity, from the most devastating to the most inane, they were all incursions on our lives and liberty.
NHS workers on the Covid wards at the height of it could visit the local sainsburys to buy their lunch but if someone was ill in their household, house arrest for ten days!
All of this should never be forgotten and I’m sure most people on here will make sure of that.
However, the biggest fight if our lives is only just beggining, the climate change nonesense.
And this is going to be very big and very hard and very dirty. But if we want to leave a country fit for our kids and grandkids to have good healthy prosperous lives fight we must.
And if we lose that fight we’ll be living in a truly dystopian nightmare, make no mistake.
There’s too much back patting and celebration going on. I’m not sure “we” won anything yet. Remember when you lift restrictions when infections are low then when they come back you can say it’s because you eased restrictions and bang you’re back in lockdown again with yet another jab looming.
Could this lull be so that when deaths and hospitalisations rise again we get another lockdown and a new vaccine for a new variant?
I don’t think this is the end of it. Not even the end of the beginning.
My OH has, over the last few days, taken to reading articles to me which tell this very tale. He prefaces them by saying “I expect you already know this…”which is indeed the case. He’s now allowing himself to believe he always thought the rules were bunk but that isn’t the case. When the panic was happening he thought I was being ridiculous to criticise what was happening. His view was that you can never be too careful… My views haven’t changed but I haven’t yet said I told you so. It’ll be iterating to see what happens as more vaccine information becomes available.
“People do want their medical staff to be vaccinated.”
So when it suited it was follow that specious noun The Science; now that The Science however they package it can no longer support the narrative, it’s follow the people – those same people whose only knowledge is the fear propaganda pumped out for two years. Shameless.
“Sorry, that’s unfair. Eddie the Eagle never predicted up to 6,000 Covid deaths a day this winter (actual number: 250).”
Nope. TEN a day from ***FROM*** Covid. ONS confirms

Leaving aside that masks are totally useless the great mystery to me is that the fanatics believe they can be safely put aside when eating/drinking with others??
