The interview with Dr Malhotra linked above on GB News was excellent. After the interview Mark Dolan read a statement provided by the British Heart Foundation and they are still supporting the official story line – safe and effective blah, blah, blah. The cowardly ignorance displayed by the BHF is mind boggling. Billy really has got them in his pockets. What a dreadful, unscrupulous organisation.
‘When you are in a hole…’ Marvellous.
Good morning Good people.
Agreed. Most people should know that Mark D read out the BS statement at the end to silence Ofcom; nothing more than that.
Actually John reading the statement from the BHF did our cause much good and thrust the BHF into the limelight. That was a shot in the foot by them. They have shown themselves to be either grossly ignorant or bought.
Hmm, that’s a difficult one.
This is all fabulous, HP, and a jolly good morning to you too!
Yes, I do believe that some small but significant snowballs are beginning to roll down the avalanche slope and an avalanche might not be long in following. Blatant and wilful blindness is not an argument acceptable to a court. These people who are still holding onto the edge of the precipice of lies are about to lose their grip and go spinning out into the abyss. I truly hope that this will be the beginning of many such moments.
Very frosty here this morning but it’s a lovely dawn and the trees are tinged with pink and orange hues. Hope you’re keeping warm!
Thank you kindly Aethelred and I do hope the callousness displayed by the BHF wakes a few more up. Dr Malhorta absolutely destroyed the case for “vaccines” in this interview.
Very frosty but sunny this morning after a night at minus 7. Global warming eh😀😃
Haha, yes our first snow of the winter here. Minus day time temps all week. I do hope this isn’t it as I feel robbed if we don’t get a snowman-worthy downfall before spring hits. 🙂
What are the domestic fuel bills like Mogs? Ours have more than doubled. Out and out government sanctioned robbery.
I’ve no idea as ours is not in yet. I’m not looking forward to it though. But it’s back to double digit temps next week so we probably won’t need the heating on.
Brilliant interview, fingers crossed, something is going to come out of this unfolding scandal. Could we hope that there are going to be real prison terms for SAGE tyrants as well as for everyone in the position of power who promoted the vaxxes. Pfizer has got immunity from any liability, but it doesn’t mean they could misled the public. Pfizer has also got 100bn and that’s enough to buy all officials several times over. DeSantis of Florida is initiating a trial of the big pharma conduct, good luck to him and hope in the UK there is a politician with balls to do the same.
Thanks and completely agree with you.
An excellent, accurate article about how compliance is our undoing and how the indoctrination begins with the malleable young in the education system; “In order for such a widespread and all-encompassing control over people to be advanced, much time and effort to indoctrinate and brainwash large swaths of the common population must be achieved. This indoctrination effort has to begin, and be accomplished, by dumbing down the very young, so that over time, they become much easier to control. The so-called ‘public’ (government) school system, a system created and set up by the top ruling class, is the perfect psychological weapon to train the sheep into a mass compliance attitude; this a premeditated outcome based on creating a society that is just capable enough to do the required work without any desire to question their own rule. The next time you choose to complain, the next time you decide to stay silent, the next time you shun or ignore others because they do not agree with the crowd of imbeciles that you embrace, the next time you vote to select your master, the next time you go along to get along, remember that you are the enemy and not the… Read more »
Thank you for the link; it is a very good article and I haven’t come across the website before. What is coming down the road, culturally and financially, will be Hell on Earth and very few are going to be able to avoid it. The last three years has just been a rehearsal.
A good find, Mogs, thank you. Had a quick look and will read properly later. Another article also caught my eye on the same site:

Some say people like TC are controlled opposition but exposing hidden information is exposure and whether controlled or not, I applaud the unearthing of anything that shows how our world is fabricated with lies.
I wouldn’t say Tucker is controlled opposition at all. I think this has now become quite the slur by haters to discredit the freedom movement. Anything to throw a spanner in the works and incite in-fighting. Just desperate and pathetic really.
Thanks for the link Mogs, an excellent short essay.
That is a fantastic and wise piece of writing – thanks for posting the link. I intend to share it with my children (20 and 18) with a view to encouraging some reflection on how society works, conformity and what it means to be truly free. I think the essay has the potential to be life-changing, in a highly positive way.
It’s interesting because when I went to Uni our lecturers ( nurse training ) actively told us to not just take their word as Gospel but they encouraged us to go and do our own research, as science is constantly in flux. They emphasized to always seek the evidence-base for something as opposed to just accept what is perceived as conventional wisdom. It’s really troubling to know that things have changed so dramatically over a few decades and our educational systems have become more about grooming future generations to accept dogma over nurturing their innate propensity toward critical thinking and the questioning of authority. In my view all things should be questioned, challenged and scrutinized. Particularly so when certain diktats have life-changing power and misinformation is mislabeled as fact.
Totally agreed, Mogwai – it doesn’t feel like the current overwhelming sense of societal conformity has been going on all my life, but rather has taken hold maybe over the last 20 years or so. For me, curiosity and the constant search for truth and understanding are an important part of one’s sense of self.
The first report link to the Telegraph headline is wrong. It should be ‘Three years on, we still haven’t learnt any lessons’.
“Susan Lapworth, Chief Executive of the Office for Students, said that “too often” universities are curtailing free speech by “leaning more fully” into their equality duties “than the law supports”, reports the Telegraph.”
Equality sounds good to most people. As currently interpreted and used, the idea seems to be doing more harm than good and to lead to anything but equality. I think a complete moratorium may be a good option.
If I decided I do not want to undertake the tasks that my management require of me, and in fact do the opposite, I will be disciplined and eventually sacked. Start firing a few of these pampered popinjays and the smarter ones will soon get back to doing their jobs.
The story of the HSBC stopping funding to oil and gas field extraction on GBN is worth a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye07OcA8XF8 from 22:51 on. Are other banks going down the same route?
They have a strange aversion to chairs.
Salary £110,000 – £115,000. Very tasty. I have no real idea what “lived experience” means in this context but I expect it is bullshit, whatever it is.
tof, I like to think I have a fair command of the English language but this shyte is up with the best for BS and complete verbal diahorrea.
Actually any organisation putting rubbish out like this is directly insulting the English Language. Personally I would haul in the head honcho and let him know that if there are any future repeats he will be eating bugs for the rest of his life.
I know someone who works for this lot: How are we funded? | Healthwatch
It’s not his fault as they don’t give him much to do but they seem to do very little. The concept – patient advocacy – is OK I guess but in practice at least where this bloke works it just seems like a sinecure. He’s not paid anything like this director position, but he’s pretty well paid for what is not exactly highly skilled work and does very little.
