"And I think, in the end, that is the best definition of journalism I have heard; to challenge authority - all authority - especially so when governments and politicians take us to war, when they have decided that they will kill and others will die."
~ Robert Fisk

According to some reports this film is a 'sell out' in some cinemas in London!
Spread the word - this film sums up all the nasty Tory tactics Ridley, Letwin, et al. The scum bag running the GP Babylon app formerly a merchant banker Ali Parsa was behind Circle and the demise of the Hinchinbrooke Hospital. Looks at the appalling US system, 85,000,000 without insurance. The tent village at the town of Wise Virginia which treats people free, they bring in Diagnostic Equipment, dental chairs, etc.
Bob Gill is featured and helps with the production of the film. At the end of the film the credits list hundreds of folk who have sponsored it!

What figure the leaving present? What is the pension value?
First - The basic annual salary of an MP in the House of Commons was £76,011, as of April 2017. The basic salary of an MP is due to increase by 2.7% from 1 April 2019 from the current rate of £77,379 to £79,468 as announced on Thursday 28 February 2019 by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).
When I intended to stand against ‘Ben’ Bradshaw MP (and member of the Henty Jackson Society) in 2010, I planned IF successful, to give away all in excess of the average wage in GB.
ONS May > 2019 Figure 2: “Despite recent growth, earnings in real terms are lower than before the 2008 to 2009 recession”
For July 2019, average regular pay, before tax and other deductions, for employees in Great Britain was estimated at: £507 per week in nominal terms 52x = £26,364
My NHS pension with an added ‘industrial injury’ award added + the State pension is more than adequate. (I believe we doctors, nurses, physios, porters etc paid in 6% of our salaries.) Sue and I live well within this generous pension. eg. Happy with a good fourth hand Subaru Outback.
The balance BEFORE tax etc = £53,104 could be put to good use. To help make good microscopically a bit of that made wrong by government or neglected – like the homeless child.
Dr Kelly’s death was all about the Iraq war. I have revealed the lies from early on – 16-12-03 and stuck with it. Many, many thousands of hours + about £7000. I have come to a conclusion now, but for a little corroboration – which matters little. I will write this up separately, and later within three books. Solid state laptop for quiet writing ordered.
Presently destabilise (as with OUR NHS over years) other countries. Vicious sanctions, acts of war, against Iran and Syria – joined with the EU. Why? Are not the 90 milllion Iranians friends and humans. A large fleet – lead by USS Abraham Lincoln and HMS Queen Elizabeth are waiting in the Persian Gulf for a false flag to attack Iran, as Netanyahu has been urging for 10 year. Syria – a united and ancient people – growth rate 10% just before the terrorists were inserted by Saudi and the US.
Then attack. Iraq notably. Libya later, and much else. Aggressive war - ‘from which all other crimes flow’. Nuremberg – 1946. Germans hung. No hanging of President Johnson, Blair, Bush, Cameron etc etc.
Symbols – HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles. Attack weapons only. Illegal by Nuremberg and UN Charter. Never said. £5 billion each (pull the other one). F35Bs - £80 million each.
TURN each into hospital ships, surgeons – some retired or part retired. One to Iraq, Basra – later Libya >> Help with local staff to heal the thousands WE have maimed. Psychiatry as well. One to deal around British ports the very many waiting, waiting for treatment. DIAGNOSIS AND SELECTION OF TREATMENT AT THE FORE.
Firstly we all should discuss this very important subject with as many established facts on the table and without the hysteria ** and actual lawlessness. XR is an example. Ms Gail Bradbrook, being one of the two founders of XR, was on Youtube having been interviewed by Russell Brand. No logic, no facts, no link to it for some days.
Measuring ‘global’ heating and coming to a true conclusion is very difficult but must take place. Oft repeated anecdotes of the frequent extreme weather events do not prove ‘climate change’. Look at the very large boulders in the brecchia in Combe parish – tumbled to smoothness in the Ice Ages.
Note the +ve feedback mechanism – small rise in CO2 level > spurs vegetative growth.
Example via BBC Farming Today – Lea Valley market gardens. Boilers turned on IN SUMMER, to produce CO2 which is trickled, being heavier than air, into the peppers, cucumber vines etc.
Note Prof David Bellamy - ‘banned’ by the BBC after he voiced a contrary opinion.
C C first promoted world wide by Bliar and Gore, the latter with dodgy data.
I observe the ‘precautionary principle’. Examples -
Gardened whenever we could – as an SHO in Bristol I dug two private ‘allotments’
Always frugal with the earth’s resources – always re-cycling
Compost all green waste – from the kitchen, wood chips from our forestry
Farmed in a small way organically but without £75 membership fee
Planted/had planted 28 acres of broad leafed woods at Combe.
Included 7 acres of pasture
Not ‘flown’ for at least 10 years, and then always to be in Gaza/Palestine with a crucified native people. Cf with Helen Chessum and her recent letter in the MDA. (To be scanned later – cutting not found)
There is much shallow thought. eg When there is a high, a drift from the east. Often with haar, that can last for several weeks – say in Feb. Very cold, leaden skies, NO wind and NO sun. Relying then on fossil fuel and a bit of hydro. AND nuclear power. With the latter – NO solution for disposal/storage of waste isotopes. NO absolute exclusion of the risk of >critical>fire> dospersal world wide of germ cell, somatic cell damage by long lived or even very short half-life isotopes.
Three Mile Island, Windscale (I 131) – RENAMED SELLAFIELD, Chernobyl, Fukushima. Latter still being quenched with sea water. All facts played right down by the lovely BBC/ZBC.
See letter below in the MDA.
Strike price for juice from Hinkley – French EDF – twice present cost. Slow building, poor ground! Of course – estuarial. Workers suffering mental illness - ?from oppressive foremen/’managers’.
I call for well informed RATIONAL discussion by all interested citizens AND observation of the ‘precautionary principle’.
for truth

** the ridiculous TDC’s ‘Climate Emergency’
Title Global Warming. 27-06-17
Dear Letters Editor, MDA
I respond to Helen Chessum's letter in last week's MDA which made a plea for us to react to climate change, because I am sceptical.
However, I believe in the precautionary principle. We have had a wood burner for 40 years, planted many trees on poor ground and supply logs. We do not 'fly', and use the train for longer journeys. This whilst there are more cars than ever, plus more air and ship miles.
The early proponents of climate change included Al Gore and Blair! The former used dodgy graphs to make his case.
The focus is on carbon dioxide although methane is a much more potent atmospheric blanket. People might not know that small increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide stimulates vegetative growth. In those vast greenhouse in the Lea Valley, the boilers are turned on in summer in order to produce this gas. This is trickled over the salad crops to spur growth. (BBC Farming Today.)
Question. 5000 years ago our forebears were harvesting einkorn, spelt and millet here on the uplands of Dartmoor. You can still see the walls - reves now. Was this cycle of warming local regional or global? It was not due to the burning of fossil fuel ! Was it related to sun spot activity, a possible factor in any warming now?
Lies are masked within the fully justified debate on warming. The government is calling the energy that will come from the massive Hinkley Point C, "clean energy'. This when the disposal of nuclear waste is insoluble and medium level waste is leaking from the tanks at Sellafield. Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl are down the memory hole, whilst at Fukushima they are still quenching the nuclear fires there. Very potent isotopes have washed into the Pacific ever since two reactors blew up.
Tweedledum, Tweedledee and tweedle – currently Ms Swinson! How many studying the FACTS behind the hype? Keep the Punch and Judy show going, and highlight the leaders.
And very short memories in the polity keep it going. BUT – obvious to many. 2 quotes from latter - “Most have seen the denizens in Parliament for what they are. There is anger and loathing in many throughout these isles.”
“Party politics' has failed miserably. Most citizens have suffered under it.”
Party politics are dead. Dead as that parrot. They have killed ‘party politics’ stone dead themselves.
First know that funds go from developers to the Tory war chest. And that the Tory government dictates the numbers that local councils MUST build.
What of the calibre of the average county or district councillor? You might vote for them or more often not take the trouble? Are they people who have done or are doing a good job, of probity, and with good brains?
Where do all the purchasers of all these new houses come from. Ex-councillor Christophers – 80% ‘local couples living with their parents’! Any survey done of house buyers. Total GB mortgage debt £1.3 trillion. Average age at end – 69 years! Are they retirees (NHS), family structure?, working ?local, ?commuting. Cranbrook – population ‘parachuted’ in. Very inspiring primary head but what ratio those labelled ‘special needs’.
Age Range 2 - 16 Gender Mixed Number of pupils 563 School capacity 1420
“Learn 2x faster for free with Seneca. Join 2,400,000 students using Seneca as the funnest way to boost their KS2, KS3, GCSE & A Level grades. And it's free!” Apologies to Aldous Huxley.
Digging for food and for fun. Allotments on these new estates? Percentage of ‘developed’ ground.
At home. Increase police numbers and criminologists. Any secret society to be declared on applications to join, and in service. Scrupulous selection based on education, social awareness and personal principles. Wrongdoing – timely investigation and whewre necessary prosecution. Continued into retirement of officers whenever necessary. All voluntary interviews, arrests etc – noy guilty until proven. Re-instatement of a National Forensic Service with the most strict guidelines as to response times and practice. The recruitment and listing of pathologists for the Home Office must be by the most excellent police persons, physicians and lawyers in the field.
Abroad. All leaders of aggressive wars in recent decades to be brought to the Hague or similar structure without fail. Without well proven convictions, war will be infinite and global annihilation certain. The psychopath might crave the apocalypse. Blair and his ‘sofa cabinet’ are to be pursued straight away. The actions and words of Cameron et al, and May and Johnson et al are to be examined by an international group of lawyers. These to include Falk, McKinney, …… and to be advised by Halliday and Von Sponeck universal jurisdiction law.
OUR NHS is on its beam end BY DESIGN. Money is only part of many answers. No 12 hour shifts for any NHS servant – especially nurses. Meal breaks sacrosanct – therefore more professional staff – RGNs etc. ‘Back to nursing’ schools lead by carefully selected tutors – with mileage allowances etc. Bursaries to be given to nurses etc who return to the NHS IF they claim
such. New ‘whistleblowing’ contract for all servants of OUR NHS – inviolate. Compare with airline pilots.
Morale and esprits de corps to be restored to OUR great NHS by all means. Some present ‘care’ is grossly negligent; standards have fallen very badly.
OUR NHS has been set up to fail – by the ‘neo-liberal’ conspirators in each of the three main parties – starting with Margaret Thatcher LG, OM, DStJ, PC, FRS, HonFRSC and Sir Nicholas Ridley, Baron Ridley of Liddesdale, PC through Milburn, Lansley, Cameron/Clegg and the many.
Public Health
Take out of County Council hands. A sub-ministry of the DoH. The epidemics of obesity, alcoholism, drug and gambling addiction etc to be studied by the best minds, ways forward tried and very carefully monitored.
Advertising of gambling to be banned, and that of alcohol greatly curtailed with industry agreement.
Sexual health to be taught in schools by professionals (nursing, medical – especially bacteriorologists in parallel with Open University programmes.
Barrier contraception to be promoted outside of constant relationship. HPV vaccination of boys – actual and propaganda for, to be removed.
School budgets to be increased, from the centre, after all heads and governing boards present simple accounts for the last 3 years, and say what they need in extra money. Class size, percentage if ‘special needs’ children, social deprivation, free school meals, foreign first tongue etc to be factors in uplifting budgets. The arts and crafts – pottery, collage, felting etc etc etc to be ubiquitous in British schools.
In his report to the Conservative Party’s Economic Reconstruction Group in 1977, Nicholas Ridley wrote that:
"...denationalisation should not be attempted by frontal attack but by preparation for return to the private sector by stealth. We should first pass legislation to destroy the public sector monopolies. We might also need to take power to sell assets. Secondly, we should fragment the industries as far as possible and set up the units as separate profit centres."
"Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side."
David is standing as an Independent candidate for the Newton Abbot Constituency in the 12th December 2019 general election.
