Risk / Benefit analyses have been remarkable throughout the Covid experience by their total absence (please correct me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if I am wrong).

Finally, now that the regulators in both US and UK are all set to begin rolling out Covid jabs to babes of 6 months and above, the BMJ (why not the MHRA, in the interests of transparency?) has published a paper on the risk / benefit of jabbing healthy university students (aged 18 - 29) against the "omicron variant".

Obviously the devil is in the detail and the

Some videos are a bit too in-your-face for some, and this may be one of them, but...

... is there anything said in this clip that is untrue, disingenuous, or misleading?

This has been going on for years and "our" government has never matched its rhetoric with any effective action. It's very hard now to conclude that they are not saying one thing to our faces and doing something else again - and again - and again.

There comes a time when governments must listen to the people. Or be seen as a tyranny.

In four minutes this professor, speaking for the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, skewers this institution - not with academic learning, but with basic analysis and common sense, plainly spoken.

Would that all videos were so succinct and to the point!

Between them they probably have as much experience of the NHS as any two people you could hope to find, one from the front line and the other from what we might loosely term the management end.

We can probably all agree that the NHS does appear to lurch between crises and panicked monetary infusions by government.

So is the NHS model of "free at the point of use" as directed by the government still a viable (let alone desirable) model?

Reports have it that many of the illegal migrants landing on UK south coast beaches are from Albania.

Albania does seem a long way away, and I'm sure it has a rather warmer climate than the UK, so what is it that propels so many to try their chances with a long and no doubt tricky journey and the risk of a ducking in the decidedly unwelcoming waters of the Channel?

This is a rather important question, as the answer may tell us much about the way the UK is perceived abroad and the state of the world elsewhere.

So this article in Unherd is a timely piece even if it does leave me wanting to know a bit more.

Investigate Europe spills the beans on the ways in which EU national governments all seem to support the property-owning classes at the expense of the proletariat. 

All part of the great governmental scam that keeps the elite subsidised and the poor in their place? Or all done for the benefit of the wider population by supporting a supply of well-maintained affordable housing?

So who does your member of parliament work for?

Being no expert in UK property taxation I'm not going to make any unfounded statements, except to say that (a) property investment in the UK has traditionally been seen by many as a route to prosperity and (b) I doubt if the UK government is fundamentally any different to other European governments in this matter.

I've no doubt though that this is all in furtherance of the famous EU interpretation of the "level playing field", and its

All the tyrannical tin-pot dictators that would have ruled the world had one thing in common - they wanted to destroy the influence of families and control the messaging that the impressionable minds of our kids will soak up.

In the age of ubiquitous television, parents have been put under increasing pressure - and the ability to set their kids down in front of the TV for an hour or so of Children's Hour and the like while the adults got on with their chores (or had a well-deserved break) was more or less irresistible. I myself have happy memories of watching "Hopalong Cassidy" (in the monochrome of the day) after school as a regular feature.

Of course over time the pressure increased as more and more mothers found it necessary to go out to work (strange that - I would have thought that with the increasing affluence of the post-war years, one salary would have become ever more than enough to enable mothers to stay at home for their kids whilst they were young, but somehow the reverse seems to have

Connect-the-dots sleuth Amazing Polly lives up to her nomenclature in spades in this little monologue.

Does she draw connections in all the wrong places, or is the world still trundling bemusedly into the dystopian technocratic command and control world slavery system, or...  is something else going on?

This isn't any longer a time to laugh at the antics of the globally self-important - it's time to chuck them out before they destroy our civilisation.

Clayton Morris of Redacted spells out the glad tidings for those lacking situational awareness.

I don't normally feature his offerings that include long (and frankly irrelevant to most) messages from his sponsor because it detracts from our perception of his independence, but to be honest the message is pretty incontrovertible now and needs as much air-time as possible - next years crops (ie: our food) depend upon the continuity of this years farmers, and that continuity is under attack like never before.

As usual he is refreshingly direct and to the point in his delivery, an example many others might usefully take to heart .

Another email plopped into my inbox - probably yesterday, maybe before - exhorting me to support their latest project - Proportional Representation! And guess what? I'm invited to send them money!

Well I'll be jiggered, I didn't see that coming...

Now, I'm all for solutions, but they have to be solutions that work, and we've been around the proportional representation loop before, so what's different this time?

Maybe I'll pass up this opportunity to "make a difference". Still, as a confirmed critic of the current political settlement in this country, I probably ought to explain my thinking.

Before we can address a problem we have to understand it. We have to diagnose the problem, identify the underlying cause(s), and then we can check whether the proffered solution actually addresses the causes - if it doesn't, then we know what not to do.

So what are the

Love him or hate him, David has been at the forefront of the exposure of the global project to convert the world into a global-corporate-fascist-government slave colony, seemingly from time immemorial.

He is also very articulate and clearly expresses his views. We may not always agree with everything he says, but does he have the right to say it?

Free speech has become a bit like Brexit - of course we are all free to express ourselves - or to live free of control by the EU - but of course (!) there are limits (which may be invented/interpreted differently to suit the elite at any time).

It used to be that the law clearly recognised that the freedom to only speak without offending anybody is not worth having. In recent years the invention of "hate speech" and other more or less elastic definitions of speech that some people won't like has reached an incomprehensible level of ever mutating convolution, designed to keep us constantly confused and scared to

Martin Geddes' latest round of email exchange with Durham County Council over non-payment of Council Tax is presented for our entertainment and our education.

Since it is asserted that Council Tax does not actually entail a legal obligation to pay it, Martin is putting the system through its paces for us all to learn from, thereby in my view performing a significant public service.

I doubt that "the system" will agree:

"This is an existential crisis for the councils, legal system, politics, and government"

"It is part of a far wider scam whereby the state is harvesting all of us for taxes"

"... the public is wising up to how corrupt and unconstitutional administrative courts are just a front for organised crime... "

This is "advanced conspiracy theory" - that perhaps only a minority will find credible. I feature it not because I know it's right, but because even if nobody accepts it, those who have seen it may be better prepared if it comes to pass.

From my viewpoint, it's all unproven theory and there are a great many strands to it. Some of those strands may be familiar, and many may seem outrageous - take from it what you will, but for me there is no real argument that the world faces a huge reset, and the primary decision is "whose reset will that be and what will it look like?".

It's beyond my pay-grade to say what will happen with much certainty or to suggest a time-frame, but I would suggest that the WEF-UN "Great Reset" is going under the bus, along with much else.

Does this affect the UK?

Well, it either isn't the biggest story, or the BBC is asleep at the wheel...  and we know what happens when drivers fall alseep.

Well, if it isn't the biggest, it's hard to think of a bigger one, although perhaps not absolutely impossible (should China stage a revolution to topple the CCP for example).

Well, it's only Musk cleaning the stables at Twitter...

... except that it isn't, because it involves the corruption at the highest levels of the US Federal Government under the Biden pretendency, and probably prior under the Trump presidency.

Of course that could not have taken place under the watchful eyes of a vigilant free press, so either it didn't, or the free press was neither watchful nor vigilant, for whatever reason.

Once again there are many facts to be established and holes in the story to be filled in, but it's not that difficult to make sense of whom

The Corbett Report does a good job in a half-hour or so of checking out how the WHO was founded, what it stands for, and how it goes about its business.

We are sure to be reminded of something salient to today's world status - concepts such as the "bio-security paradigm" are unpacked for inspection. 

Such matters have been long in the gestation (aided as required by the apparently inevitable mutation of pandemic definition).

The CIB (Campaign for an Independent Britain) in alliance with Brexit Facts4EU, notes that whilst the Northern Ireland "protocol" is in force, we have not left the EU.

You could say that GB has left the EU, and NI has been left behind - but that ignores the fact that the trade between NI and GB, which is entirely an internal matter for the UK, is subject to EU rules.

Oh, and the Good Friday Agreement, which has been widely credited with ending many years of violence, has also been overridden, since Northern Ireland was not consulted about this supposedly de facto undermining of the Act of Union, under which the province became an equal part of the United Kingdom.

This site has never made a secret of our distrust of the Green narratives. None of the apocalyptic predictions of rising sea levels, overheating climate, polar bear extinctions etc have come about, and the "great and the good" still buy waterfront mansions with complete insouciance - don't they know that rising sea levels will wash them away?!

Now the self-inflicted energy crisis is concentrating the minds of industrialists, if not yet (or ever) of politicians, and it is dawning on them that the proposed switch to EVs is unsustainable without the gas to power them (and of course there is the comparatively minor matter of getting enough lithium... ).

We have observed the constant influx of illegal migrants being ferried to our shores by our Border Force, the RNLI, and the French, and this flow has done nothing but grow in recent years, despite our Government ineffectively handing ever more money to the French to close it down - and then feigning (there is no longer any other word for it) surprise that this solution still does not work.

The UK has a history of accepting refugees over centuries past, and of integrating them into our society to the extent where we consider them British - indeed, we may be surprised to learn of their immigrant status. They come (presumably) because they believe that we are nice people and the UK is a good place to live, and historically they either share our values or they come to share our values.

Nevertheless, if we are a country of law and order, then we cannot permit or condone illegal immigration.

We have now reached the point that our own government that we

Jon Rappoport is not a conventional person. 

He doesn't hold authority in high esteem (or any esteem at all!) - unless he can find truth and integrity in that authority's pronouncements. And he's his own judge on that.

If you were to ask me, I would say that in these troubled times, this is an attitude to which we should all aspire, even if we cannot yet see our way to full achievement of such aspiration.

I'm not sure that Jon has approved of any authority in recent years, other than perhaps some independent self-made authorities that also follow the evidence wherever it leads them.

After what seems like an eternity of Covid authorities rampant, he reposts a blog from February 2020 wherein he reviews what he thinks of the Covid scenario (just at the time that the vaccines were beginning to be rolled out).

"This article is a kind of summary of where I stand, at
