The snake that ate its own tail

It’s nice to see the British media (and perhaps, if we might be allowed to dream for a moment, the law) catching up with Michelle Mone.
It’s such a shame nobody did any proper investigative journalism into what a crooked, venal chancer she is before now – seven years ago or even four years ago, say – or the country might have been saved a few billion quid. Ah well, you live and learn, eh?
What an uplifting article!! Sorry.
In a personal tribute to the great Doddie Wier I’d imagine that the root of the concern is that medical experts were all over the place when the handwashing advice didnt sound serious enough and Boris was obliged to engage the services of the biggest chest expert he could find.
Fantastic news for Scotsmen, imho, that, over and above his own expertise, all the kingsmen and all the kings ladies must have recommended a proud bonny Scottish lass for the job at hand.
And this is the kind of unprincipled, dishonest, unethical, self-serving characters the crown, through its executive, appoints to the HoLs in order to protect its status and its own self-serving interests by maintaining the status quo.
And yet, no matter how dishonourable these people are, it is a given they will be addressed as “honourable” within a chamber, which since 1707 has progressed to become the world’s biggest graveyard of parachuted political rejects. An insult to the face of any 21st century democracy.
It’s about time the truth about her was revealed if she was an independence supporter the dirty laundry would have been aired long before now.
Westminster often comes off like a corrupt wild west show, but it does have rules, which often catch people out, hilariously. I mean you can sortof “do what thou wilt” but not-quite; outsiders and the psychologically unbalanced get it wrong – Jeffrey Archer, Jonathon Aitken and now – here’s hoping Michelle Mone might just get a huckling for a “grift too far” (*) – supposedly she trousered 28M and thought putting it in a trust would shield it.
* – to be made into a feature film by arthouse director Windinf-Refn; Tom Hardy is to play Michelle, undergoing surgery to do so, thus eclipsing de Niro’s weight-trick in Raging Bull.
She is an incredible woman, for anyone wanting to do a psychology PhD; “will to power”, “self actualisation”, “the over-(wom)-man”, “self created” – it’s all there, a selection box of mental conditions. I am sure her life will be made into a film one day, and here’s hoping it is Prisoner : Cell Block H.
As a peer, she can be tried in the House of Lords, imagine.
We should never forget that her original grift was down to a crime against nature : making small-titted women look like bigger titted woman.
Monster!

It was mentioned BTL in last post but I wonder if an unintended consequence of the Supreme court ruling of reducing Scotland to a colony of the UK could also be used to argue that England, Wales and Northern Ireland are the same?
Given the size of England in the UK, on a practical level it would mean little but in an international level it could amplify the already present pressure on international sports bodies having to justify allowing the ‘Home nations’ to compete in such events.
Interesting times ahead..
Well now that it’s all coming out, I hope we won’t be subject to any public hand-wringing from all those Tory nobs crying over all that spilled milk. To all those members in both Houses: how could you have been so blind to someone whose assets were clearly artificially inflated?

Westminster is absolute corruption under the veneer of respectability.
That illusion of ‘respectability’ is only achieved by playing by certain rules where the establishment will get covered up by a compliant media.
If those who don’t play by the rules and are outsiders then they will get thrown to the wolves to show the respectability of the system.
I hope to live long enough to one day see Rev Stu nationally, maybes even internationally, recognised for his unique and years-ahead-of-the-pack services to journalism.
I don’t see that as ever happening within a UK context. Sadly, right now I don’t see it as happening within a Scottish context either.

I’m afraid, as despicable a lying self-serving chancer that Michelle Mone is, she is one of the more mildly corrupt inhabitants of that unelected medieval cesspit. Nothing worthy of mention will happen to her, her pals will make sure of that.
Someone stated on here just the other day that she was being “thrown under the bus”. I’d say it’s more like being thrown under a Monster Truck, the threat is apparently frightening but there’s ample clearance to make sure no harm comes to her.
Just as long as she lays down properly. 😉
It’s the sheer greed , the pathological money-lust that smacks the gob .
Here’s someone who was already rich beyond most peoples’ – including her own , previous – dreams . Yet , that wasn’t enough , she had to gorge herself on another – publicly-funded – glutinous banquet .
It will be * interesting * to see if she’s the only sick-fuck beneficiary of the Great Covid Cash Give-Away to get ( as Confused says above ) huckled .
There are quite a few others who – if there’s still a functioning legal system in the UK ( hmmmm ) should be keeping her company in jail .
Assuming , of course , she , and the rest are not capable of buying their way out of facing the consequences of their actions
Meant to add this the other day when England’s Supreme Court put Scotland back in its box. It’s a small matter but nevertheless important.
That Supreme Court “ruling” makes official that every one of those National referendum headlines that Stuart has pinned up on this site for posterity a blatant lie.
Wingers of course knew that all along thanks to Wings Over Scotland but it’s always nice to have such things confirmed. Will the Sturgeon sycophants now come out with their hands in the air and apologise for all their attacks on WOS and Stuart Campbell?
I’ll not be holding my breath. In fact, i think i’m going to have to invest in some heavy-duty breathing apparatus as the obfuscation, denials and misleading justifications become suffocating.
Useful Idiot. We seem to do an inexhaustible line in them up here…
I thought that behaviour was a requirement to enter the Lords. A bit like burning a £50 note in front of a homeless person.
As I understand it her bank accounts with HSBC have been frozen so no access to funds there. Lets hope she has a mattress stuffed full of notes to keep her going in the life to which she has become accustomed whilst she waits for the pretty obvious outcome of being cleared by the rest of the grifters in the Lords.
All Lords courtesy of their doing favours for the parties & senior ministers. The difference between them & her is she is Scottish so an example to be held up & paraded whist implying that Scots are no better than rUK grifters.
Given the fact that the Lords tend to look down on us lesser mortals, what’s the betting that there’s more than a few breathing a huge sigh of relief that it was her not them being thrown to the wolves. Now they know they’re off the hook & are free to carry on business as usual. Rinse & repeat ad infinitum!
I assume she didn’t know where any of the bodies were buried so couldn’t arrange protection for her transgressions.That much tells you she was sacrificed for the good of the institution.Hopefully Karma takes it’s revenge.
No wonder “they” protect their narrative of the last 3 years so assiduously!
What a glorious boondoggle it was – for the few!
Michelle Mone is a nasty piece of work and deserves her just comeuppance.
Meanwhile this must be read by all, it gives a clear picture on the great theft of Scottish assets, and how we’ve been lied to, also ignorance has played it part as well.
“It sets out the evidence that Scotland while in a political and economic Union was never in a territorial Union.”

Private Eye have been oh her case regarding PPE for some time. The trouble is – I think – that those who ultimately awarded thoe PPE contracts to their mates and party donors are also (now, or still) in government and are doing their best to protect those same mates and donors.
Without this costly government panic «initiative» she wouldn’t have had the opportunity.

But spending citizens’ taxes on «junk» is what governments are about.

On the junk thème, the Brit prestige aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth adds to vital UK defence activity in the High North sic, deepening cooperation between navies and air forces…..
until it breaks down again.
Covid was the huge opportunity for boot filling through the rape of the public purse.
The Tories with people like Mone and Rees Mogg and many more cleaned up whilst the hapless masses stumped up. The country is in the grip of a corruption cartel – Covid PPE, energy company super profits, rigged procurement tendering, tax emption for the elites.
The country is also in an economic collapse with cuts across the board. No belt tightening for scum like Mone. She just shits on the masses. She and her ilk are that kind of people.
Time ordinary folks took back from the scum.
And the Law to which Rev Stu refers as maybe catching up?
Well absolutely no chance of that. Police Scotland are absolutely corrupt. They take their orders and do no investigate and pursue big time corruption. Corruption in business, corruption in the governmental procurement process. Money talks and the Police look after the big money spivs.
Carillion went burst owing billions after having spun the most egregious Ponzi accounting. Granted more of the fraud was in England but no one got the jail despite accounts being under-costed to the tune of billions, despite money churning across offshore jurisdictions. £29 million in cash, £5.9 billion in uncovered liabilities, it was laugh laugh laught time – and make no mistake Downing Street knew all about it and actually facilitated the short traders to make money as the business collapsed. And the thousands of pensioners locked into an underfunded pension. Well fuck them, hard luck, just like the BHS pensioners.
Oh how the hapless little people like a good fucking. Prostitutes really for the Tory elites, and now they’re getting a right good fucking in their cold houses.
Lots of sweary words I’m afraid. A tad rude, but why not call a spade a spade. Tell it how it is. We fuck you and you fuck off, crawl away. It’s simples, and the fuckers just take it.
Anyway, don’t suppose reality will change many here or in England. For some they’d just walk into the abattoir like the abused cattle that they effectively are.
Better Together in fact.
Does anyone really need to see just, *exactly*, what sort of a “UK” we are being controlled by? This, below, is a genuine MSN headline:
“I’m a Celebrity viewers threaten to boycott final after Mike Tindall exit”
The, mostly, English electorate will vote for corrupt politicians who crap all over the basic human rights of those very same citizens. But don’t f@ckin’ dare mess around with their tv favourites on some pathetic excuse for “entertainment” or there will be hell to pay.
Have these viewers never heard of getting their priorities in order? The inmates most definitely have taken over the asylum. Is this the much flaunted ‘Big Broad Shoulders of the UK’ we so often hear about? Third-rate tv viewing becomes headline news at a time where we are all being subjected to the UK’s worst cost-of-living crisis in history. FFS!
Nice to see the BritNat media has its priorities sorted though. LOL!

I appreciate the Wings BTL caravan has moved on, but some of us knew at the time that masks are ineffective against viruses like Covid in a public health context.
Hell, the WHO knew this pre-Covid.
The call went out for something to be done. So, something was done. It was never more than Street theatre to generate favourable headlines.
Masks are not ineffective.
Or surgeons wouldn’t wear them.
They were never sold to us as a cure. It was to lower risk.
And while they will hang the wegie out to dry no body will be looking at the rest of them
Give it 10 months, she or one of her kids will be announced for “I’m A Celebrity!”
All forgiven…lets all move on…

DailySceptic (26/11/2022): As an Oncologist I Am Seeing People With Stable Cancer Rapidly Progress After Being Forced to Have a Booster:
There follows a letter from Dr. Angus Dalgleish, Professor of Oncology at St George’s University of London, to Dr. Kamran Abbasi, the Editor in Chief of the BMJ. It was written in support of a colleague’s plea to Dr. Abbasi that the BMJ make valid informed consent for Covid vaccination a priority topic:
“Dear Kamran Abbasi,
Covid no longer needs a vaccine programme given the average age of death of Covid in the U.K. is 82 and from all other causes is 81 and falling.
The link with clots, myocarditis, heart attacks and strokes is now well accepted, as is the link with myelitis and neuropathy. (We predicted these side effects in our June 2020 QRBD article Sorensen et al. 2020, as the blast analysis revealed 79% homologies to human epitopes, especially PF4 and myelin.)
However, there is now another reason to halt all vaccine programmes. As a practising oncologist I am seeing people with stable disease rapidly progress after being forced to have a booster, usually so they can travel.
Even within my own personal contacts I am seeing B cell-based disease after the boosters. They describe being distinctly unwell a few days to weeks after the booster – one developing leukaemia, two work colleagues Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and an old friend who has felt like he has had Long Covid since receiving his booster and who, after getting severe bone pain, has been diagnosed as having multiple metastases from a rare B cell disorder.
I am experienced enough to know that these are not the coincidental anecdotes that many suggest, especially as the same pattern is being seen in Germany, Australia and the USA.
The reports of innate immune suppression after mRNA for several weeks would fit, as all these patients to date have melanoma or B cell based cancers, which are very susceptible to immune control – and that is before the reports of suppressor gene suppression by mRNA in laboratory experiments.
This must be aired and debated immediately.

Vaccines: COVID-19 Vaccine-Associated Optic Neuropathy: A Systematic Review of 45 Patients:
Published: 20 October 2022
Discussion:
“…The temporal association between vaccine administration and the development of optic neuropathies in these cases makes a causal link plausible, with a mean time from vaccination to the development of ocular symptoms of 9.6 ± 8.7 days. Cases with a late onset of optic neuropathy, however, are less likely to be related to vaccination and could be coincidental. Vaccines and their adjuvants are meant to robustly activate the innate immune system, and adaptive immunity then follows. Overactivation of this response, however, may occur in some patients and lead to rare immune-mediated complications…”:

Telegraph (26/11/2022): Pfizer’s CEO rapped by regulator for making ‘misleading’ statements about children’s vaccines:
“…Bourla used an interview with the BBC last December to claim that “there is no doubt in my mind that the benefits, completely, are in favour of” vaccinating youngsters aged five to 11 against Covid-19.
He argued that “Covid in schools is thriving” adding: “This is disturbing, significantly, the educational system, and there are kids that will have severe symptoms.”
The interview was published on Dec 2 – before the vaccine had been approved by Britain’s medical regulator for this age group.
Shortly after the article’s publication, a complaint was submitted to the pharmaceutical watchdog – the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA)…
The complaint alleged that Dr Bourla’s remarks about the children’s vaccine were “disgracefully misleading” and “extremely promotional in nature”, arguing that it breached several clauses of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry’s (ABPI) code of practice.
“There is simply no evidence that healthy schoolchildren in the UK are at significant risk from the SARS COV-2 virus and to imply that they are is disgracefully misleading,” they said…
A code of practice panel, convened by the PMCPA, found that Pfizer had breached the code in a number of different ways, including by misleading the public, making unsubstantiated claims, and by failing to present information in a factual and balanced way…”:

BBC (28/11/2022): Balenciaga campaign: Kim Kardashian ‘shaken’ by fashion house shoot:
“Fashion house Balenciaga has been heavily criticised over a photoshoot showing child models posing with fetish-themed teddy bears. It faced a huge backlash to the images, released as part of a campaign to promote its Objects range. This led to pressure on Kim Kardashian – an ambassador for the brand – who put out a statement in response…
Balenciaga is regarded as one of the “world’s hottest brands” by some and its luxury goods are a favourite of A-listers and influencers. But photos from two of its latest campaigns caused people to get angry…
Critics then locked on to a second image from an earlier, separate, campaign promoting the brand’s collaboration with Adidas. One of the pictures showed a handbag sitting on top of some documents. When people zoomed in on the text it revealed the papers were from a US Supreme Court ruling related to indecent images of children…
After this, some right-wing US media channels ran with the story, and accused the fashion house of “endorsing child pornography”. The accusation was fuelled by the campaign for its Adidas collaboration featuring the case notes referring to “virtual child porn”…
Kim Kardashian was also criticised over the images… …said she had been “shaken by the disturbing images” and “any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.”…”:

Human Reproduction Update: Temporal trends in sperm count: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis of samples collected globally in the 20th and 21st centuries:
Published: 15 November 2022:
…Conclusion and wider implications:
“Our new data and analyses confirm our prior findings of an appreciable decline in sperm count… This decline has continued, as predicted by our prior analysis, and has become steeper since 2000. This substantial and persistent decline is now recognized as a significant public health concern.
In 2018, a group of leading clinicians and scientists called for governments to acknowledge decreased male fertility as a major public health problem and to recognize the importance of male reproductive health for the survival of the human (and other) species…
We hope that the new evidence provided here will receive attention not only from clinicians and scientists, but also from decision-makers and the general public.”:

ThompsonsSolicitors (2022): What is gross negligence manslaughter?
“What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence is when a medical professional breaches their duty of care and causes avoidable harm, usually through a lapse in judgement or lack of attention.
What is gross negligence?
Criminal law defines gross negligence as ‘a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care, which is likely to cause foreseeable grave injury or harm to persons, property, or both.’
Gross negligence is therefore when the breach of duty becomes criminal.
What does gross negligence manslaughter mean?
Gross negligence manslaughter is when the most likely cause of death is due to grossly negligent action or inaction. An example of gross negligence manslaughter is if a doctor administers a drug knowing the patient is allergic to it and that patient dies as a result of the reaction to the drug…”:

19. White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany was locked out of her account for tweeting about the story, prompting a furious letter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who seethed: “At least pretend to care for the next 20 days.”
20.This led public policy executive Caroline Strom to send out a polite WTF query. Several employees noted that there was tension between the comms/policy teams, who had little/less control over moderation, and the safety/trust teams:
21. Strom’s note returned the answer that the laptop story had been removed for violation of the company’s “hacked materials” policy…”:

“22. Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence – that I’ve seen – of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem…
23. The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role.
24. “They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”

National Centre for Biotechnology Information: Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine Enhances Colonization of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in Mice:
Published online 2014 Feb 18:
ABSTRACT:
“Community interactions at mucosal surfaces between viruses, like influenza virus, and respiratory bacterial pathogens are important contributors toward pathogenesis of bacterial disease. What has not been considered is the natural extension of these interactions to live attenuated immunizations, and in particular, live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs). Using a mouse-adapted LAIV against influenza A (H3N2) virus carrying the same mutations as the human FluMist vaccine, we find that LAIV vaccination reverses normal bacterial clearance from the nasopharynx and significantly increases bacterial carriage densities of the clinically important bacterial pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae (serotypes 19F and 7F) and Staphylococcus aureus (strains Newman and Wright) within the upper respiratory tract of mice. Vaccination with LAIV also resulted in 2- to 5-fold increases in mean durations of bacterial carriage. Furthermore, we show that the increases in carriage density and duration were nearly identical in all aspects to changes in bacterial colonizing dynamics following infection with wild-type (WT) influenza virus. Importantly, LAIV, unlike WT influenza viruses, had no effect on severe bacterial disease or mortality within the lower respiratory tract. Our findings are, to the best of our knowledge, the first to demonstrate that vaccination with a live attenuated viral vaccine can directly modulate colonizing dynamics of important and unrelated human bacterial pathogens, and does so in a manner highly analogous to that seen following wild-type virus infection.”:

Twitter cited its new “hacked materials” policy on October 14, 2020, when it locked The Post’s account for two weeks and censored our story revealing an email from Hunter’s (redacted) benefactor thanking him for meeting with his father, the then-VP, in Washington, DC.
The email was not “hacked material”; it came from Hunter’s laptop…”:

BMJ Global Health: SARS-CoV-2 infection in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis of standardised seroprevalence studies, from January 2020 to December 2021:
First published August 23, 2022:
Conclusion:
“We report high seroprevalence in Africa suggesting greater population exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and potential protection against COVID-19 severe disease than indicated by surveillance data.
As seroprevalence was heterogeneous, targeted PHSM and vaccination strategies need to be tailored to local epidemiological situations.”:

Vaccine Knowledge Project (2022): Nasal Flu Vaccine:
Key vaccine facts:
“In the 2020-21 season, over three million children were vaccinated against flu across the UK.
The flu vaccine for children is a nasal spray (sprayed into the nose), not an injection. The live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) contains live forms of flu virus which have been weakened (attenuated). These stimulate the immune system but do not cause disease in healthy people. It can safely be given at the same time as all other routine childhood vaccines, including other live vaccines. However, the nasal flu vaccine should not be given to people who are clinically immunosuppressed…
Who is eligible and how to get the vaccine?
The UK is gradually introducing annual flu vaccination for all children…”:

Breitbart (01/12/2022): Great Reset: Germany Bans Farmers from Properly Fertilising Land to Serve EU Green Agenda:
“Germany has banned farmers in one of its federal states from properly fertilising large swathes of land at the behest of the EU’s green agenda.
As of Thursday, the use of nitrate fertilisers has been greatly restricted for large swathes of farmland in North Rhine-Westphalia, with the green agenda change greatly angering farmers as it is likely to drastically reduce yields.
While implemented by authorities in Germany, the ban is ultimately at the behest of the European Union, which is pushing to reduce the amount of nitrogen in certain parts of Europe as part of its green agenda.
The policy has already wreaked havoc in the Netherlands, with the Dutch government now looking to either buy out or forcibly close up to 3,000 farms to meet targets set by Brussels… Despite the impact this could have on food security in Europe…”:

“The Hunter Biden laptop whistleblower who had been given the “death sentence” label of a hacker is pulling the curtain back on the FBI and Twitter’s malicious involvement in the scandal, arguing that the FBI “knew all the facts” and divisively swept the story under the rug.
John Paul Mac Isaac:
“I went up against Twitter back in 2021 when they labeled my activity hacking or therefore labeling essentially me a hacker… So I went after Twitter.
Unfortunately, they switched judges on me, gave me an Obama-appointed judge who threw the case out with prejudice and awarded Twitter, the Florida SLAPP statute,” he told host Maria Bartiromo.
“Basically, Twitter cut my legs off and prevented me from fighting any legal battles in the future and possibly forcing me into bankruptcy. So you can understand how relieved and excited I am with what Elon’s doing over at Twitter right now. Because what I have known for a very long time is true and proving to be facts.”…”:
