If people have to pay reparations for slavery, the British could claim three and a half centuries colonisation by the Romans, and 300 years of colonisation by the French

This would be profitable for us since we were slaves for much longer than our shameful Empire lasted

It is a tribute to the foresightedness of the Muslims that, due to their practice of castrating all slaves, no
candidates exist for reparations for their long periods of slavery

Does this mean that Makerfield is getting itself ready to host the migrant camps & HMO's, its what they voted for & Burnham wants to give his voters what they want 🤔

[GB News @GBNEWS]

'We will not let that happen here. We will bring people back together.'

Andy Burnham MP says he will not let the UK go down 'a path to greater darkness and division like the U.S'.

When You Can't Beat Reform, Change The Rules. Labour Just Did.

There is a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything. When those in power begin adjusting the rules of the game to determine its outcome, the game is no longer democracy. It is managed succession. That line was crossed again on Tuesday night.

Two days before the Makerfield by-election, Labour rushed a change to the mayoral voting system through the House of Lords. Regional mayors will now be elected using the supplementary vote system rather than first past the post. The change applies immediately. It will govern whoever replaces Andy Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester if he wins on Thursday and stands down.

The government's defence is that it is simply restoring the system used before Boris Johnson changed it in 2021. That argument requires the public to believe that a change Labour could have introduced at any point in two years of government became urgent on Tuesday evening, forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect.

Lord Hayward, a Conservative peer and experienced pollster, was precise in the Lords. There is no other justification for the haste, he said, other than that it solves the Labour Party's problems and prevents Reform winning a mayoralty. Not clumsy. Not rushed. Designed.

The mechanics explain why. Under first past the post, Reform could win the Greater Manchester mayoralty on a plurality of votes in a fragmented field, precisely as it won all eight council wards in May's local elections with around fifty percent of the vote. Under the supplementary vote system, voters express a first and second preference. Lib Dem and Green voters, given a second preference, will direct those votes to Labour overwhelmingly. The change does not affect Thursday's by-election. It affects the mayoral contest that follows it, constructing an anti-Reform coalition from the second preferences of smaller parties that Reform itself cannot access.

Lord Jackson identified the wider implication. This is potentially a strategy for a progressive alliance being rolled out ahead of a general election, he said, with the aim of locking out the Conservatives and Reform from power. Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation. The supplementary vote is the local pilot for a national project. Pool second preferences, lock out the right, govern indefinitely on a minority of first preference votes.

This is not the first time. Earlier this year Labour delayed local elections after the Electoral Commission stated explicitly that the justification was not legitimate, that extending mandates damages public confidence and creates a conflict of interest by allowing those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. The Commission's objection was noted and ignored. Reform demolished Labour anyway.

Now the same instinct has been applied to a different mechanism. Not cancellation this time. Electoral system change, deployed with surgical precision forty eight hours before the vote that triggers the election it is designed to affect.

Governments confident in their mandate do not need to change the rules two days before the ballot. They face the electorate and take their chances. The timing of Tuesday night's Lords motion is not a coincidence. It is a confession.

The voters of Makerfield vote on Thursday. The question of who governs Greater Manchester after that, and under what rules, was settled in the Lords on Tuesday. Nobody voted for that.

"Burnham's allies have already confirmed he would scrap first past the post nationally in favour of proportional representation."

This story is a good example of quite a number of things.
1. It's a good example of the poor quality of BBC "science journalism".
2. It's a good example of how big corporations and their interests have captured mainstream media.
3. It's a good example of why we really need independent social media (and why governments and large corporates, which have essentially merged together (into a form of corporatism as Mussolini define it) don't like social media and want it censored).

Let's look at what the story says. The headline says "Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine".

Specifically, they say "Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24 - the first time that had happened over a five-year period."

But routine vaccination of 13 year olds only started in 2018. So the earliest children vaccinated in 2018 would only have been 19 in 2024 at the end of their study period. And we know that even prior to vaccination starting, the number of deaths in 20 to 24 year olds was always close to zero (see graph). So the claim is misleading. Not factually incorrect, but giving a false impression. It's disinformation, in fact. Making us think the vaccine has caused a dramatic improvement, when it has not.

If we look at that graph, we can see that the trend is for deaths in all age groups to fall over time, a long time before vaccination started.

So the decline in deaths is clearly due to something else (routine cervical screening and earlier treatment being the prime candidate).

The BBC journalist who wrote this story has clearly put zero critical thinking into it. The company responsible for the HPV vaccine might as well have just written it verbatim and given it to the BBC to publish. Maybe they did?

Let's project ourselves into the future, where all social media users have to provide government ID to access social media, and governments can track who is posting what, and identify and single out "troublemakers", critics and whistle-blowers for their social media posts. Do you think they will stop at censoring and banning people breaking the law, or do you think they will tackle people who are merely criticising flaws in the narrative using data and evidence?

Well, we don't need to be Mystic Meg to imagine the future. We can just look back to 2020-1 and see what happened then. Exactly what I described. Government disinformation units tackling what they called "misinformation" and "disinformation" which turned out to be inconvenient truths about lockdowns, vaccines, masks, social distancing, government statistics.

So without social media, big corporations and governments can get away with pushing their propaganda through unquestioning mainstream media journalists. That's why we need independent social media.

As for the HPV vaccine: it might turn out to be a life-saver. But given that the first cohort of teenagers who received the vaccine in 2018 are now only 31, and the median age at diagnosis with cervical cancer is 45, we are not going to know for sure from empirical data for another decade or more.

There are also potential confounders here. In parallel with the introduction of the HPV vaccine for teenagers, cervical cancer screening processes have been changed. Screening is starting at a later age, and is now focusing on detecting HPV rather than directly looking for cancer, and increasing the intervals between screenings. These changes alone may well result in the appearance of less cancer in younger age groups, but risk a big spike in cancers being detected at a later age. The authorities are tilting the table in favour of the vaccine pushers in the short term, but possibly at the expense of women in the longer term.

And the other thing we will likely never know is whether the total effect on health from the HPV vaccination is a net positive. Little point in saving 20 cervical cancer deaths per 100,000 people if the vaccine itself is directly causing more than 20 deaths and chronic illnesses per 100,000 people from adverse effects.

Why won't we ever know this? Because long-term comparisons of death and illness from all causes between vaccinated people and those receiving a saline placebo is almost never done. Studies always look narrowly at the target disease alone with a very brief and temporary consideration of adverse effects.

This ⬆️ is the kind of in-depth analysis our national broadcaster should be doing, in the public interest. Not just parroting vaccine manufacturer talking points.

But when you point this out, you get accused of being a conspiracy theorist, and the BBC sets the spook-y Marianna Spring on you. 🙄🕵️‍♀️

1/ Today the Defence Secretary resigned because Starmer will not spend enough money on defence, which is quite something, because before we all start clapping like trained seals about tanks, missiles, Nato targets and which flag lapel pin everyone is wearing this week, there is a rather awkward question nobody in Westminster seems terribly keen to answer.

What exactly are we defending?

[Peeky @PeekyBoo6]

@DavidRi24396416 @VictoriaHa50399 @Diginomad85 @NickTenconi @grok It might not be forced but I think it's a foregone conclusion that this government will volunteer & woe betide anyone who complains

@GBNEWS Can our judiciary be any worse than it already is, I doubt it

[Peeky @PeekyBoo6]

@GBNEWS It's pointless to burn down your own country unless you are going for the scorched earth approach, they need to go for the vipers nest & cut the head off the snake, figurative speaking obviously although I wouldn't mind seeing Starmers head on a pike

[Peeky @PeekyBoo6]

@CatharineHoey 3 years left of this government & hopefully the leadership challenge will keep them occupied for awhile, keep challenging & putting obstacles in their way & once Reform or Restore are elected net zero will be consigned to the dustbin

@David_J_Bond @DavidLammy Can't help themselves can they, lying & deceiving people has become 2nd nature to these politicians, if you take the time to look at the labour mp's in the house of commons not one of them look the full shilling

@pippaisright I understand Pakistan & Afghanistan have gone to war with each other, considering how many are in this country now whats going to happen when they bring their war to our streets, the police will have a nervous breakdown not knowing who to arrest & Starmer will blame Farage
