Yes, this is British Party Politics.

It's quite possibly as close to the truth of the matter as anyone is likely to get, in terms of being an impartial analysis by somebody who isn't likely to be a front-runner in the next general election.

I can't speculate on whether he's accurate or not, but he's certainly done his homework.

I'm not expressing support for any Political Party here, just being practical, so as always, make of all this what you will.

From my point of view, it's no way to elect a government - but it's what we currently must work with, all other things being equal.

Of course  "Events dear boy, events" may intervene. Predictions are always difficult to get right, especially when they concern the future

Martin Geddes has made a name for himself by analysing the ways in which the official legal process can go awry, somehow often to a plaintiff's detriment.

"All are equal before the law, but some are more equal than others" as Squealer might have noted in Animal farm had he had to go to Court for a Court Order before despatching old faithful Boxer to the knacker's yard for the tender retirement care of the "Liverplod Care Pathway"...

Complete with an appropriately quaint and perhaps unfamiliar relic of English law upon which the case should perhaps have been judged, this case is of interest because it pitched an individual citizen against a large corporate entity. The Law of course should favour neither but judge the case on its merits, according to law statute and legal precedent.

Did that happen?

IVF. In Vitro Fertilisation.

A marvel of modern medicine, or a mug's game?

Saviour of the childless? Or pioneer of an unscrupulous industry selling "snake oil" for vast profits?

"Lord Winston, one of the pioneers who built British in vitro fertilization from an academic curiosity in the late 1970s into what he now calls a twenty-three billion dollar global industry"

Is Professor the Lord Robert Winston expert about that of which he speaks?

In this time of universal deceit, it has become more or less impossible to distinguish fact from fiction.

Even with so many independent voices attempting to tease out the truth from whatever reports they can access, we are still largely none the wiser.

Even when we think we have narrowed the field to a very few plausible possibilities, up pop another half dozen to confuse us further. 

And even with multiple speakers at the United Nations in New York, about the only clear message was given by the volumes of delegates who walked out, so we can probably be fairly certain that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu isn't the world's number 1 popular politician.

The world seems to be stuck on the edge of a precipice. What is it waiting for?

Talk of war is bubbling. Russia seems not to want it, or they would have rolled up the Ukraine a while ago and started on the job of dissecting the EU.

Both Napoleon and Hitler (if our current history books are to be believed) tried the brute force method and found it impossible to prevail against determined opposition. Stalin got half-way across Europe at vast cost even against a collapsing Third Reich and decided that enough was enough.

So the battle moved from tanks and aircraft fighting over terrain, to psychological operations fighting over our minds and beliefs. As always, deceit is the key and lies, propaganda, plus distraction take centre stage. Backed up of course by the thought police as foreseen by George Orwell, and (as the events of recent years have demonstrated) the medico-military-pharmaceutical-political complex for the covert elimination of inconvenient

When the USSR fell apart in the '90s, Europe was already well advanced with it's own version, the EU, dubbed by some as the EUSSR.

The primary difference being that it wasn't set up by Bolshevik revolutionaries but by stealth. A mere 6 years after the end of WW2, barely enough to stabilise the post war European continent then (and since) under effective military occupation (I personally have exercised with NATO in Germany), the European Coal and Steel Communitywas founded allegedly by Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg West Germany and Italy, but necessarily with at minimum the blessing (and more likely at the instigation of) the occupying powers.

A nice friendly community that simply wanted to cooperate together.

Not much later this scope was expanded to become "the

"No-one is safe until everyone is safe".

Which means?

"No-one is safe".

Because making everyone safe is an impossibility.

But words appeal to different people in different ways. If you have spent your earthly life in IT then you are likely to respond to the logic. In which case you may agree with the above reasoning.

If you have spent your life in a more flexible "feel good" profession such as entertainment, publishing, film-making etc then you may well have a different interpretation, regarding logic as unnecessarily limited in its ability to convey meaning.

Those that prefer to trust "the authorities" (because fundamentally they find the idea that 'authorities may be seriously untrustworthy' is a notion that they don't feel able to cope with) may appreciate the first assertion as "caring" and therefore support it in

Ivor Cummins came to prominence for us during the pandemic, when his analyses pretty clearly demonstrated that we were not being told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Quite the reverse.

He gave us all confidence that we were absolutely right to question authority.

In some respects Ivor is very much a jack of all trades, someone who can review the facts and figures, tease out and explain the significant aspects regardless of subject-matter. It's how he made his living.

Ivor himself has grown through his experiences and moved on, to now offer some words of wisdom on how we may nurture our mental strength to survive endure and prosper in these seemingly unprecedented times of authorities with feet of clay, or worse. Those who have habitually constructed their world-view from official pronouncements and officially-approved news sources will need to review and update such predispositions if they want to keep up with incoming events... it

"... an entire way of life – a way toward health, well-being, and happiness – has been [and is being - ed] stolen from us... forced out of existence"

We see it in the UK, where small way-of-life farmers are being driven off the land by exorbitant death duties and the like, no doubt to be bought up by corporate Big Agri.

When nobody can remember how to grow and raise food, what will we do?

"The same class of people who managed the pandemic response have been managing our food supply for many decades"

And given us glyphosate, amongst many other pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and defoliants none of which are harmless but nearly all of which get sprayed over our crops (and in which our livestock gets dipped).

DMSO is not a wonder drug. It's a solvent made from wood.

And yet...   it turns out according to many that it may be useful to address health problems that mainstream medicine does not.

And it's inexpensive (provided we don't all rush out to buy it at once).

So what's not to like? 

In many cases, whilst showing promise, it's a bit experimental in terms of dosage and the best way to apply/ingest it. 

On the other hand it does of itself seem to be very safe, even if (in common with much else) it may be painful if you get it in your eyes for example. 

And like castor oil, it's penetrative when applied topically, so may be used to "carry" other medications into the tissues concerned.

As should we all.

If ever there was a fake democracy with an essentially toothless "Parliament", it is surely the EU.

No doubt however that after the war, national parliaments in European countries were not masters of their own affairs. How could it have been otherwise?

Yet Germany's "economic miracle" was won in defiance of the occupying power, reportedly single-handedly by a non-compliant critical thinker, Ludwig Erhard, who in defiance of the order to not change the post-war system of price controls is reputed to have responded "But I didn't change them, I abolished them". The rest was history.

Compare with the Germany of today that threw out all its power stations traditional and nuclear in favour of windmills and solar, the so-called "renewables". Yes they are renewable. but no they are neither

In my day it was normal to have measles. Not especially pleasant, but normal. Just a childhood rite of passage, like chicken pox.

In fact, I was asthmatic prior to catching it, and for most purposes not asthmatic afterwards. Although prolonged exertion would still make me breathless, it actually seemed to improve my health.

Walking the 30 mile Tanners Marathon (Leith Hill, Ranmoor Common and all) within 10 hours became a regular annual feat.

As a student I even joined the local TA. 

So I don't buy the "measles is deadly" tale whatsoever. Of course if you are in poor health anyway and your immune system is in bad shape then almost anything may become serious. But I never heard of anybody I knew dying of measles.

Rich and guests "Burning Bright" and Jim Torma review the Trump performance at the UN (and Carney's performance in Canada).

Trump's version of self-censorship seems to be to make so many contradictory statements and assertions that nobody knows what he really does. At least It makes a change from the heavy-handed censorship of the media.
