  • You Can Trust Me - I'm a Journalist (!)

    2022-06-25

    Well, with summer now in full swing (unless you want to travel by train or plane... ) we have news!

    If you can trust it.

    The Press Gazette ("The Future of Media") reports on the tanking trust ratings earned by the various news-stand titles, and the current state of play for trustworthy TV news.

    It's an interesting analysis, one primary point being that (allegedly) the broadcast TV news tends to be believed more than the newspapers, and whereas a minority makes it over the 50% threshold, none can boast 60%.

    And if you are looking to identify the brands that increased their trust rating over the recent years, your hopefulness exceeds your realism.

    "Overall, the Reuters Institute report this year found that in part due to a decline in trust, nearly half (46%) of

  • When Push Comes to Shove, Does the Climate Change Narrative Still Stand?

    2022-06-25

    Perhaps it really does take a war to concentrate the mind.

    Human beings tend to follow their habits and rightly so - if it works don't change it. Habit enables us to navigate the daily routine without applying a great deal of thought to the process.

    The problem with that of course, is that when the process becomes inappropriate, the tendency is to continue as per established habit, which no longer produces the required result. 

    Rethinking established habits is hard work though, and we are not in general well disposed to volunteer for the task - and when the habit is a group-think affair, getting the group to rethink is an order of magnitude more difficult than just having one person do the rethinking. Now add in everybody's differing vested interests and we can see that the agreed way forward may be tricky to iron out.

    So a German scientist (from the relative financial security of retirement) making the case

  • The Online Safety Bill - The Case for Improvement

    2022-06-24

    Further to our previous report on this Bill, the Together Association has has been able to get barrister Francis Hoar to draft and submit written evidence to the House of Commons Committee on the Online Safety Bill.

    His evidence is forensic, a model of clarity of thought and exposition, and damning.

    ‘Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative … Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having...’ [7]

    "9 Yet the Bill that the Committee is considering will criminalise offensive speech if it might foreseeably cause a person

  • The US Supreme Court Delivers Judgements

    2022-06-24

    a) The infamous Roe vs Wade judgement has been overturned - this in effect permits individual states the right to determine their own laws relating to termination of a pregnancy.

    b) The Second Amendment covering the citizens' right to bear arms has been upheld, with the New York restrictions on "concealed carry" being overturned as restricting the right to self-defence and therefore incompatible with the Constitution.

    Two resounding (if much delayed) victories for the traditional American Constitution.

    Some of the dissenting opinions are interesting not because they dissent but because the reasoning behind the dissent fails to

  • The Agro-Industrial Empire Strikes Back

    2022-06-24

    Agro-chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides are big, big business, dominated by big companies.

    Of course, big business supported by big government is an almost unstoppable force where money speaks louder than votes and the transparency over the flows of money is less than obvious.

    And the bigger (and thus more remote) the government, the more easily obfuscated the transparency becomes.

    Whilst the big players seek to distract us with lurid (and some would say absurd) claims of CO2 trashing our climate, the damage being done to our farmland flora and fauna by industrial pesticides, and to the very soil itself by overuse of artificial fertilisers, goes unheeded - until the shelves in the shops are emptied.

    The EU is an object-lesson in how to construct a government that reflects the priorities of big businesses (with regulated access to lobbying the Commission directly) rather than the priorities of the

    2022-06-23

    Just to remind everyone that UK Column in addition to its usual slots on Monday Wednesday and Friday lunchtimes now does a Thursday slot a well.

    Today Brian Gerrish takes us through matters Ukrainian war, Ukrainian destruction and reconstruction, the Falklands, the Russian enclave in Kaliningrad (ably assisted as so often by Alex Thomson); also the Uvalde Texas school shooting (which Mark Anderson still hasn't given up trying to understand) and lastly Debi Evans with her much awaited report on the goings-on within the MHRA-UKHSA-Bill-&-Melinda-Gates-Foundation axis (we can trust them, they're independent).

  • A Voyage Around the Great American Deception

    2022-06-23

    American history is littered with events large and small including political assassinations (JFK being the most notorious), Unidentified Flying Objects (or Unexplained Aerial Phenomena as we must now call them), unexplained crashed phenomena (AKA Roswell), alleged false flag events (most notoriously 9/11), and much else that defies agreed explanation. 

    That's a pretty broad spectrum of alleged phenomena, linked only by the inability of the various concerned parties to agree on their true nature.

    This video doesn't solve all the problems but it does present a reasoned and logical exploration that may help us all to think about the bigger picture.

    As everybody knows there is a public narrative, and there is a unspoken agenda, effectively cloaked by the public narrative (or so say all of us conspiracy theorists!).

    This is the financial war between the "insiders" and us the "outsiders".

  • Meta-fraud - the Word for Which We Were All Waiting

    2022-06-18

    I suppose it's a simple concept verging on the trivial, but the effects may be far from trivial if it gives us the ready means to identify the problem of our age - a problem which is subtle enough to escape the multitude that work with overly simplistic assumptions.

    One illustration of this would be the alleged mortgage swindles that afflict many British mortgages that were never set up with the correct signatures in the first place.

    Another illustration is the ursurpation of the sovereignty of the people by Parliament, on the pretext that the MPs represent us and our interests.

    So what exactly is meta-fraud?

  • Legal Updates from the Bernician

    2022-06-18

    Alert readers will know that the Bernician has form in taking the powerful to court, firstly in seeking redress for mortgage fraud, and secondly for seeking to prosecute those responsible for the so-called "Midazolam Murders".

    In late May he published an update (yes, it took me this long to catch up) covering both the TGBMS Class Action to end institutionalised mortgage fraud, and the Private Criminal Prosecution for the Midazolam Murders, which has been relentlessly obstructed by the courts so far.

    Whilst the TGBMS (The Great British Mortgage Swindle) is being progressed via the Land Registry and the Lloyds Banking Group board, the private criminal prosecution is reportedly going before a Grand Jury, a somewhat archaic institution that is nevertheless valid legal procedure.

  • Creeping Normalisation of the Control Grid

    France and Germany lead the charge with restrictions "for your own safety" that supplant our individual judgement with the top-down one-size-fits-all mentality of the benevolent state.

    "Outdoor public events have been banned in an area of France as a record breaking heatwave sweeps across Europe"

    "German Federal Government is considering making face masks compulsory in October, just because it’s October"
