@JamesTodaroMD @TheLancet @MRMehraMD No mention of Zinc's disruptive effect on early RNA replication, and HCQ's purpose as an enabling Ionophore (NOT as the active medicine)? And if HCQ is so dangerous after 50 years of being acceptable, why not use Quercetin as alternative Zinc Ionophore?

@stuey_beef @bedford_colleen Britain is borrowing billions to support foreign aid, Ukraine donations, benefits for foreigners and the costs of hosting illegal immigrants that have no right to be here. There’s also benefits for men with more than one wife. All this has to stop.

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”

“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

The government says our energy prices are dictated by a world market oil and gas price. So why is our energy around 4 times the price of US and 3 times China?

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

The government has not got a single thing worth having out of the EU in this "reset" negotiation. It's one concession after another.

It's an absolute shocker.

The reason is, of course, they aren't trying. They just want to tie us to the EU & they don't care what it costs.

When you hear the phrase “IMF bailout” you think it sounds like a rescue. It sounds like a big cash injection to keep things rolling as they were. The reality is much starker. It isn’t a rescue, it’s a restructure, and a large portion of control gets transferred to unelected technocrats who decide who takes the pain.

Past bailouts have been brutal…

We’ve been here before, and this was one of the gentler versions. Back in 1976, the currency was in freefall, the budget deficit was close to 9%, and inflation was touching 25%. The IMF had to step in. We borrowed $3.9 billion, which seems like chump change in the age of currency debasement we have now, but the price was £2.5 billion of spending cuts, around 2% of GDP. To put that in perspective, the equivalent cuts today would be roughly £57 billion. That is close to the entire core schools budget for England, gone in one hit.

The more brutal version…

Greece had three bailouts in the 2010s, post-GFC. €336 billion lent, of which roughly 90% went straight back out to creditors. The bill for the Greeks… minimum wage cut 22%, pensions cut more than a dozen times by anywhere from 20% to 60%, close to €70 billion stripped out of them in total, 15,000 public workers fired, retirement age raised, state assets sold off. The economy shrank 25%. Unemployment hit 27%. Youth unemployment passed 50%. The IMF later admitted it got the maths wrong. But this is the sort of brutality that comes with IMF restructuring.

Here’s why the whispers of an IMF bailout are getting louder…

The 30-year gilt yield came close to 6% recently, the highest since 1998, and sits near 5.6% now, the highest in the G7. Debt is close to 100% of GDP. The deficit is around 5%. We spend over £100 billion a year servicing the debt, more than we spend defending the country. The DMO needs to sell £300 billion of gilts a year while the Bank shrinks its balance sheet into the same market. More supply, less demand. You know what that does to price. And at the same time, we have a government that can’t cut spending. All of which sharpens the odds of a fiscal moment for the UK.

The caveat here is that Britain borrows in its own currency. It can’t be marched to the IMF the way Greece was. But as one economist put it, if the government were willing to do what the IMF would demand, it would never need the IMF in the first place. The IMF is what forces the hand, regardless of parliamentary arithmetic.

So this is where we are. Right now, at this very moment, we can still make the choices required to avoid going ‘cap in hand’ to the IMF to be “rescued” on their terms. Starmer and Reeves have already tried, and failed, to get even modest cuts past their own backbenchers. Soon, if nothing reverses this trajectory, they’ll be delivering austerity that makes Cameron and Osborne’s era look like a teddy bear’s picnic.

[Kathy Gyngell @KathyConWom]

WHAT an awful week. Henry Nowak’s death on police bodycam was terrible, but Labour’s subsequent denial and threatened oppression of dissent feels almost worse.

I naively thought the case had to be a wake-up moment for this government, that with the police race ‘training’ details emerging they would acknowledge their own culpability, or at least the misguidedness of their suicidal empathy.

But what a fool I was. Our oily-quiffed Prime Minister doubled down and shifted the blame onto Nigel Farage, who had correctly called it a moment of reckoning. Later Starmer stood at the despatch box and pointed his outraged finger at Farage, turning him into the guilty party and burying the real problem. Brazen, shameless.

If you had any doubts about Starmer’s capacity for dictatorship, don’t. His is the playbook of oppressors, with the classic traits: an empathy gap, manipulativeness, authoritarianism, sociopathy and hubris.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

RFK Jr: “The Gardasil HPV vaccine — is 37 TIMES MORE LETHAL than the cancer it claims to prevent.”

“Gardasil is the single worst mass vaccine that we’ve ever seen. It targets millions of pre-teens & teens, whose risk of dying from cervical cancer is ZERO. Nobody in their right mind would ever take this vaccine if they actually read the clinical literature.”

Death rates in the Gardasil trials were 37 times the death rates for cervical cancer.
Your child is 37 times more likely to DIE from the shot than from cervical cancer itself.

And here’s the criminal part:
It was NEVER tested against a true inert placebo. Merck ran the studies, Merck paid for the studies, Merck decided what injuries were “just coincidences.” The control group got aluminum neurotoxins — the same injuries as the vaccine group — so Merck wrote them all off. No science. No safety. Just profit.

This is being pushed on our kids while Big Pharma laughs all the way to the bank.

Read the clinical data. Say NO to Gardasil.
Protect your children before it’s too late.

The new reformulated Gardasil-9 HPV Vaccine used Gardasil-1 HPV Vaccine as the placebo in clinical trial.

Ingredients in Gardasil-9 HPV Vaccine:
9 strains HPV proteins(found to contain DNA fragments)
Aluminum
Polysorbate 80
Sodium Borate(Borax)
GMO Yeast Protein(Saccharomyces Cerevisiae)

Yes, we need to rip up DEI across the public sector but we need to tackle the problem at source. We need an urgent focus on the state of British higher education. You will, by now, understand the concept of "elite overproduction". DEI is is the embodiment of the devil making work for idle hands. We have more academics than society can sustain - most of them studying niche areas to the extent that the majority of their work is valueless and if all of them vanished overnight, nary a ripple would be felt off university campuses.

We all know that modern universities are diploma mills and that the degree is increasingly worthless. It is no longer the ticket to social mobility it once was. It's been completely debased. Similarly, the PhD is no longer a credible research qualification. You'd be shocked at how low the bar is these days. Universities offer them just as a revenue stream. You have to be spectacularly bad to fail in a non-STEM subject.

Meanwhile, universities are compelled to implement DEI practices because it's a prerequisite for some research funders. If you want to apply for an EU grant, institutional eligibility requires that public bodies, research organisations, and higher education establishments hold a valid intersectional Gender Equality Plan. even if we strip DEI out of British law, we're still going to be dealing with the residual effects of the EU racial equality directive.

Many of the philanthropic foundations have the same stipulations. The Athena Swan Charter is a globally recognised equality accreditation framework administered by Advance HE (a British charity and professional membership scheme), which "encourages and celebrates commitment to advancing gender equity in higher education and research".

You then have things like International Science Partnerships Fund Institutional Support Grant. Funding is strictly regulated to align with international aid targets - and in that there's national equality law as well as international frameworks (UNSDG). As such, there is a equality industrial complex, as much made up of self-imposed frameworks and voluntary standards as law.

Very often the British right talks about QUANGOs in terms of their running costs, largely ignoring their cultural significance. We're going to have to either scrap or purge the Office for Students and Research England and defund the flanking charity organisation. The whole model of research funding needs a close look.

This is where Danny Kruger's work for Reform is unimpressive. Reform is dead set on deleting dozens of public bodies, but the problem is, they do actually serve a function and if you delete them, you still need a government department to do the job. What's needed is a deeper analysis of what they actually do, their institutional impact, and how we can reconstitute them to perform their functions without the subversive political agendas. We still need a research funding apparatus.

There's a lot of work to be done in this area. Obviously we need to scrap the post 97 universities and reconstitute polytechnics, remove the cap on tuition fees and reform the student loans system, A lot of the problems can be sorted just by letting market forces do their thing, but the modern British university is a woke madrassa, and making higher education fit for purpose is no small undertaking.

Watching Clarksons farm 🧑‍🌾

A clip re them talking about all the punitive measures Labour have burdened our farmers with ...

What Government would penalise their own food makers and put them at a disadvantage to foreign farmers and make their jobs nigh on impossible , which would finish many farms , our food security and harm our economy and which would result in lesser foreign produce dominating in the U.K. ... but relying also on the ability of such food being able to be shipped here. Plus the shipping would cancel out any environmental punitive measures forced on British farmers.

It makes NO SENSE‼️‼️

Unless we have people in positions of power who want to destroy the U.K.

Then such insanity makes sense

And only then

@JChimirie66677 @PeterBleksley @PoliceChiefs @CollegeofPolice Blair Govt approved the founding of the Black police officers association in 1999 , Muslim police officers association in 2007. Police impartiality, for certain ethnic groups abandoned, for political ideology, and to appease the immigrant community

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

@PeterBleksley, on current evidence the honest answer is no. Peel's second principle states that the ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. That approval and that respect are earned through absolute impartial service to the law. When a force handcuffs a dying boy on the word of his killer, when officers are trained that neutrality is a myth and their whiteness prevents impartiality, when a chief constable describes the national outcry as a furore that was whipped up, the consent Peel identified as the foundation of British policing has not been withdrawn by the public. It has been forfeited by the institution.

🚨 UK man sentenced to 2 years in prison for a single Facebook comment.
He wrote that immigrants arriving with no work visa or trade were getting “life of Riley” off hardworking taxpayers’ money, while more locals are pushed into homelessness and that he didn’t want his taxes going to people who “our kids and get priority” on housing.
The judge ruled: “Although you said that you had no intention of carrying out any act of violence, there can be no doubt that you were inciting others to do so.”
Even though the man explicitly said he had zero intent of violence.
The video puts it plainly: he was locked up for “literally just saying objectively true statements.”
This is what free speech looks like in Britain right now.

Newly released documents contain shocking proof that Lord Hermer rushed Lucy’s “emergency” case through. Judges were told the required prison sentence.

For every young British person hired since 2020, *27* young migrants from outside of Europe have entered the workforce.

It's completely mad to have so many people coming from abroad, while young people in Britain struggle to find opportunity.

The system is totally broken.

The Climate Change Committee's longstanding desire to stamp out meat and dairy consumption is back in the news following their publication of the 7th Carbon Budget -- advice to Parliament and Ed Miliband, which they are very likely (they always do) to adopt without meaningful debate.

They have been trying to do this for a long time. And they have for just as long been trying to find ways to make this acceptable. In 2020, this including convening the Climate Assembly on the belief that the Assembly could stand as a focus group or opinion poll to represent the entire public. They further believed that if they could show that the Assembly supported something, then because the Assembly was selected from ordinary people, the public would accept the Assembly's votes on policy options.

But the Assembly's vote on the reduction of meat and dairy consumption was not a vote as we'd understand it. First, only a third of the assembly were present for the vote. Second, the assembly members were not given the option to vote against anything. The 'voting' consisted of a "Borda count" -- a method in which the "voter" ranks options given to them. The policy of reducing meat and dairy consumption only appeared on less than one third (10/35) of that part of the Assembly's orders of preferences, according to the Borda method.

8 policies were put to the Assembly, and reducing meat and dairy was the second lowest preference:

1. Provide support to farmers: 89%
2. Information and education: 86%
3. Use land efficiently: 66%
4. Rules for large retailers/supermarkets: 46%
5. More local and seasonal food: 40%
6. Make low carbon food affordable: 34%
7. Some, just less, meat [reducing meat and dairy consumption]: 29%
8. Part of planning policy and new developments, including allotments: 14%.

Worse for the CCC, though not counted, comments submitted to the organisers were adamant that policies should not coerce, force, or punish -- i.e. tax -- consumer behaviour.

The convenors of the climate assembly, which includes Parliament itself (the offices, not the members), green NGOs and their billionaire philanthropist grantors, civil servants, and fake academics lied about this underwhelming result, and claimed that the Assembly -- and therefore the public -- supported the CCC's ambitions to force us to be vegetarians.

This means two things.

1. The government, MPs, green wonks, civil servants, the blob, all of them, *know* that these policies are unwanted and unpopular -- that they have no mandate.

2. That they will try everything and anything to get the policies they want, all the same, and that includes acts of very obvious bad faith.

Ed Miliband and his crew and the current population of the CCC are even more determined to inflict policies on us before democracy can stop them.

This is bad for us, and it is bad for UK farmers.

Here is a video I made about it in 2020.
