🧵DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE…🦠

Yesterday, after @PoliticsForAlI incorrectly labelled yesterday’s #FreedomMarch an “anti-Covid restrictions” rally, Twitter was awash with the usual suspects screaming: “What restrictions?”

Here is an open letter to them all👇🏻
Firstly, who am I referring to? Well, it would be dozens of these fine individuals who seemed *genuinely* puzzled that anyone would have anything to protest about right now.

Because, as one of them articulates, they are able to go shopping & have a pint. That’s freedom, right?
These people are cheered on and influenced by celebrities, media professionals, and the greater good of society who peddle the same line.

“We don’t have any restrictions,” is their message and it’s a message many lap up.

So, for those who think we have no Covid measures…
…or no restrictions, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.

And there are two options here. Either 1. You are being wilfully deceitful or 2. You are ignorant to the reality.

If you’re number 1, we’re not on the same side. This open letter is for those in the second category.
So, why would people still be on the streets in their thousands? Here’s some things you should probably know:

• Do you want to live in a country where the Gov can extended the emergency Coronavirus Act without a vote & spend £400 BILLION on measures with no demonstrable impact?
• Do you want to live in country where 40-70,000 dedicated and minimum wage care home workers are about to lose their jobs, simply because they decided not to reveal their private medical status? Thus leading to greater bed blocking, overwhelming of the NHS, & ultimately, death.
• Do you want to live in country threatening the same for tens of thousands of our doctors and nurses? Remember many of them are the same heroes you stood on doorsteps & clapped for, for weeks, and who worked through the pandemic with no PPE. The threat is real, just ask the USA
• Do you want to live in a country where your children are pressured and coerced into having a vaccination to “protect” them against a virus they are not at risk over? And where the Chief Medical Officer can ride roughshod over the collective views of other scientists at JCVI?
• Do you want to live in a country that has daily debates over whether to impose fresh mask mandates on adults & children, despite real world data showing they have absolutely no impact on transmissibility of a respiratory virus? Masks that are dehumanising and ocean polluters.
• Do you want to live in a country where school kids are tested like plague carriers & where holidaymakers are divided into categories based on their vaccination status? Even though the £bns spent on these fraudulent tests is what will now make you poorer through rising taxes?
• Do you honestly want to live in a country where you need to “show your papers” to visit the shop, hairdressers, or cinema? And exclude people from society who don’t? Scotland & Wales already are, & England are currently recruiting people ready for our rollout, you should know.
• Do you want to live in a world where our deceitful media use photos of a 2020 gas explosion to try and convince unsuspecting populations that there is a Covid crisis in India?

Yes, this happened. And yes, there are thousands more examples of this blatant manipulation.
• Do you want to live in a world where the double vaccinated are considered unvaccinated and have their Health Passes revoked unless they get the booster jab? Giving governments absolute control over their populations? Here is Israel and the same is materialising everywhere…
• Do you want to live in a world where we brazenly bribe populations with money, reduced prison sentences, and unhealthy takeaway food despite knowing from multiple studies that obesity contributes to Covid-19 mortality? Surely that is working contrary to public health?
• Do you want to live in a world where a 16-year-old US high school student can be arrested and led off campus in handcuffs for not wearing a surgical mask? Can you not see how utterly inhumane and wrong that is, even if you choose to wear one yourself?😷
• Do you really want to live in a world where supermarkets start refusing entry to unvaccinated people as one federal German state, Hesse, has started doing? Do people deserve the humiliation of starvation over this decision, really? Is that what we’ve become?
• Do you honestly want to live in a world where local councils become so cult-like obsessed with Covid measures that they would shoot dead rescue centre dogs in cold blood, rather than have human contact & rehouse them? Think carefully: is this really the side you want to be on?
• Do you want to live in a world where, in New York City for example, 72% of black people aged 18-44 will be segregated & excluded from society as only 28% have chosen to be jabbed? Didn’t we leave that world behind us? Where we pursued policies that widened racial divisions?
• Do you really want to live in a world where the police check your coffee cup in the local park, just to ensure there is actually coffee inside and that you have a reason not to wear a mask? How can you not see that the world has gone completely and utterly bonkers?
I hope by now you can understand that freedom isn’t being able to shop at Primark on a weekend or sink a few pints with mates, though I’m glad you enjoy doing that.

Freedom is protecting long-held principles (like informed consent) that have positively shaped our societies…
…freedom is being able to debate science and ideas openly without being suppressed by Big Tech monopolies, freedom is fighting back against coordinated government overreach on a global scale, whatever you believe to be the true origins of the pandemic.

A wise man once said:
So belittle those on the streets as much as you want but know 2 things:

1. that is exactly what those who control your lives want. They want you to be grateful at being able to shop/socialise
2. those protesting love you, & won’t stop fighting for you until true freedom prevails
I look at the young lad in the initial photo & I agree “his future matters”.

I passionately want that to be a future of:
• human companionship
• bodily autonomy
• personal responsibility

Not:
• fear
• division
• state reliance

That’s all we want. Is that so bad?

🧵THE WEAPONISATION OF WORDS🦠💥

The Tory Party, as it has done throughout the pandemic, is continuing to use communication techniques to push an agenda:

The Great Reset — #BuildBackBetter

Here’s how they do it, & why we all need to raise awareness of these deceitful tactics👇🏻
STEP 1: NORMALISATION
If you want a flavour of what Britain’s leading political party is now pushing, you only have to analyse its packed conference schedule #CPC21 which (thankfully) ends today.

Over the 4 days, there were 340 conference sessions, panel debates, & themed stands
From the 340 sessions, almost a third (31.9%) had the following words in the title:

• Levelling up: 10.3%
• Build Back Better (or variation): 4.1%
• Green/climate change/environment: 5.8%
• Carbon/Net zero: 7%
• Covid/pandemic: 4.7%

These are today’s closing speeches…

🧵GUTTER JOURNALISM STRIKES AGAIN🦠💥

There was once a time, in the now dark & distant past, when journalists would craft their stories with balance and panache. Using credible sources to add “weight” to an article.

I’m about to tell you what today’s crop of “journalists” do👇🏻
But first, a bit of background. Yesterday @beverleyturner debated @DrNighatArif on @thismorning over the proposed rollout of Covid-19 vaccines to 12-year-old children.

Safe to say, it was a lively affair. But it’s important to note it was a more balanced interview than usual.
Both guests had opportunity to speak, and the presenters remained largely impartial throughout.

Dr Arif was representing an organisation called @projecthalo which is part of the United Nations “Verified” initiative. It is regularly promoted by big tech companies like YouTube.

• 24% of children are ‘quite’ or ‘very’ worried about their mental health (vs 17% in 2019)
• 61% of parents reported the ‘slight’ or ‘very’ negative impact homeschooling had on family life

• 43% of parents said there had been a ‘slight’ or ‘very’ negative impact on children’s happiness in the household

• the pandemic ‘might have exacerbated existing inequalities’

🧵WHY AREN’T WE TALKING ABOUT CARE HOMES?🦠

Today four brave care professionals, including a husband and wife, lift the lid on the appalling conditions facing residents and staff in England’s care homes, exacerbated by the looming mandatory vaccination deadline.

Read more👇🏻
Through their courageous & very personal testimonies, I can reveal an alleged litany of failings inc:

• care homes at breaking point & residents left to wet themselves in isolation

• staff sobbing in corridors & regularly working illegal shift patterns due to under resourcing
• “endless pressure” and “bullying” from central HR teams to coerce employees into having the vaccine

• mental health insinuations against those choosing not to be vaccinated

• minimum wage carers pressurised into work when previously sick, who now face losing their jobs.

🧵PROTESTS: ARE WE GETTING IT RIGHT?🦠

I’m probably going to get pelters in some quarters for this but I feel it needs to be said.

I’ve often defended the protest organisers, however, I feel yesterday they got it badly wrong in London. Damagingly so.
I’m going to tell you why👇🏻
When I attended the march back in April, the beauty was the sheer diversity of people in attendance (as I wrote about at the time).

June and July was the same. You don’t attract a diverse crowd like that by focusing on niche topics — you do it by targeting key central themes.
Themes like lockdown, like vaccine passports, and like bodily autonomy/mandatory vaccinations. Issues that have a solid foundation from which to argue our point of view; issues which, with some gentle persuasion, members of the public at large could/should get energised about.

🧵SHOCKING BBC AND NHS PROPAGANDA UNCOVERED🦠💥

You are not going to believe this one (or maybe you will), but bear with me. I had to triple check my figures on this just to reassure myself it was true.

And what’s more, this is likely to be happening every single day.

Last night the esteemed @BBCHughPym, BBC health editor since March 2014, ran a seemingly alarming story about the Covid-19 situation in the North East, as you can see below.

With interviews from a respiratory consultant, medical director, elected city mayor, and local resident. Image
It featured as a segment on the 6 o’clock news, 10 o’clock news, @BBCNEandCumbria, as well as being one of the top stories online (see screenshot).

I have no way of calculating the audience reach but we can safely assume it was into the millions, nationwide and regionally. Image
