Good afternoon. It's Friday, the nineteenth of April twenty twenty four, just
0:11
after one o'clock. Welcome to the UK Colin News. I'm your host,
0:13
Mike Robinson joining me today via video link. We've got Ben Rubin and Debbie
0:18
Evans. We're going to get started today with the discussion or the debate if
0:23
you could call it that, on excess mortality in the House of Commons yesterday
0:27
and well, as you can see, it was a packed house with all
0:31
of about ten or fifteen people there. So if you have an MP that
0:36
wasn't there, maybe the first thing that needs to be done is to ask
0:39
them why they weren't there. Andrew Bridging, of course had organized this and
0:45
Cheryl Granger, who is often on this program, was attending, so we've
0:50
got some comments from her in front of me at the moment. So it
0:54
was quite a ruddy public gallery for this particular thing as well. Here in
0:58
a moment of cheering and clapping going on, much upset from the speaker that
1:03
it was going on. There were MPs who backed Andrew Bridgin's comments and Cheryl
1:11
saying mainly those with the scientific background. So Neil Hanvey, MP, who
1:15
was a clinical specialist who is a clinical specialist background. He was talking about
1:21
good clinical practice and the failure by the vaccine companies to follow protocols. Graham
1:26
Stringer MP from Labor who someone tried at the beginning of COVID to bring Parliament
1:32
back to the debate during the lockdown, but Cheryl thought his presentation was very
1:38
good. There were interruptions by doctor Mike Spencer, who's conservative, an ex
1:45
consultant psychiatrist, and he was criticizing everything, including doctors signing death certificates as
1:52
COVID in order to inflate numbers and so on. Christopher Chope said quite a
1:57
bit, Danny Krueger and so on, So it was quite The people that
2:04
did turn up had at least some of them had a reasonable comments to make
2:09
and so on. So let's just have a look at a couple of clips.
2:13
First of all, Andrew Bridgin and some of the response from the public
2:19
gallery. And given the evidence, Madam Deputy Speaker, I'll call on the
2:24
government once again to immediately suspend the use of all m R and A treatments
2:30
in both humans and animals, pending the outcome of that EPO. U.
2:36
No no, no, no, we would have to clear the gallery if
2:52
clapping continues, I would order it if necessary. So so the gallery was
3:02
absolutely packed, Debbie, how many people do you know how many people attended?
3:08
I do. Indeed, thanks to Cheryl very much, there were one
3:13
hundred in the gallery. I mean, my goodness, that cheering. It
3:17
sounded like a general election had been one. But apparently Cheryl said that there
3:22
was bulletproof glass from floor to ceiling, and they'd already been warned three times
3:28
by Pallace officials not to cheer, but eventually they warned. They warned the
3:32
gallery that if they cheered one more time, the speaker would try to shut
3:38
them down. And that's exactly what was happening. They were trying to shut
3:40
them down, trying to reduce Andrew Bridgin's speech. But yes, one hundred
3:45
in the gallery and very vocal. Okay, so let's just have a look
3:49
at a second clip from Andrew Bridging. The mRNA goes into them, it
3:54
makes them creak. Spiker attacked bar immune system. That explodes into your blood
4:00
supply. That's a blood clot. If that goes to the heart, you
4:02
have a heart attack. If it goes to the brain or the lungs,
4:05
you have a stroke or a commonly embolism. That's the link, Madam Deippley,
4:10
speaker, I except to look back to what the other others right on,
4:19
Gentlemen's resuming his seat. This is the final warning. If there is
4:26
it is simply not acceptable for there to be clapping in the gallery when particular
4:32
members speak, and if there is any other repeat of it, I will
4:36
ask for the gallery to be cleared. I just want to be absolutely clear
4:42
that that is the position that I will take, because it's not what happens
4:47
in the chamber and the gallery. So Christopher Choke, now Dowie, the
4:56
question in my mind is who is representing the government because we're talking about healthcare
5:00
and health issues and excess mortality. Surely the Secretarist State for Health was there.
5:08
I'm afraid she wasn't. I don't know where Victoria Atkins was, but
5:12
she didn't feel that that debate was important enough for her to attend. And
5:16
Maria Corefield was attending, and she was rechurning the same old stuff that she'd
5:23
rechurned before. Well, let's listen to a little bit of what Maria Corfield
5:27
had to say. But excess deaths are not new. They were before COVID
5:32
and they are since COVID as well. But it's important to look at the
5:36
figures because the Office Finacial statistics indicate the number of excess deaths have been reducing
5:43
year on year since the high of twenty twenty when there were sixty six,
5:47
seven hundred and forty excess deads in England. And I can only talk about
5:50
England because health has obviously devolved and governments in Scotland, Wales and andn Ireland
5:57
will have their own data. Twenty twenty two that went down to thirty seven
6:02
seven hundred and one and in twenty twenty three there were just two hundred and
6:09
six excess deaths in England. So the UNS is showing that access deaths have
6:15
been falling since twenty twenty. Is that the case? Well, of course,
6:19
it's only the case because they have changed the methodology and the way they've
6:25
changed the method methodology, of course, reduces the numbers of people that are
6:30
being assessed as being excess deaths. So this is the release from them a
6:36
couple of months ago estimating access deaths in the UK. Methodology changes February twenty
6:42
twenty four, and what comes across very clearly as you read dine through this
6:45
is that they're now using a very clear actually a very complex statistical formula for
6:51
working excess mortality ODD which is not related to is what was previously a relatively
6:58
simple average of the previous five years. But we put that back on screen
7:01
for a second. We'll just look further on down this and you can sort
7:05
of see on the right hand side they're the effect that they change in methodology
7:10
has had. So the light blue line is the new methodology the old the
7:15
dark blue line is the old methodology, and you can see as we head
7:18
towards the right hand side of that graphic that the gap between those lines diverges
7:25
as the new methodology massages the figures, let's say, in order to make
7:30
it seem not quite as bad as they are. The important thing to recognize
7:34
here is that what we're talking about here is a statistical guess. It's not
7:41
the true number of people that have died. It's a guess based on statistics.
7:45
And then the final comment to make on this is that Maria Cufield,
7:48
they're talking about not being able to provide numbers for wheels, well, actually
7:51
the Office for National Statistics and their death releases that Death Statistics releases each week
7:58
publishes for England and Wheels together. So I'm not clear what she was talking
8:03
about there. Maybe she wasn't properly briefed, But anyway, Debbie, let's
8:09
come on to your what your thoughts are? Bring us up to date on
8:11
health? Well, yes, and it actually goes in very well with the
8:18
previous segment because I don't know how many people that are going to be watching
8:22
that are going to reverberate with this segment in how many mistakes are being made
8:26
in the NHS, how many avoidable deaths are happening in the NHS, and
8:31
are the NHS listening to us? So do you remember a couple of years
8:35
ago I confronted Jeremy Hunt on a zoom call. He was like the rabbit
8:39
in the headlights and I asked him about vaccine serious adverse events and also an
8:46
investigation into them immediately. But he also revealed some shocking data. Let's have
8:52
a listen. The NHRA obviously are in charge of patient safety when it comes
8:58
to farmer covigilance the pa PEAG group at the Commission for Human Medicines. But
9:05
according to the MHRA data as I'm seeing today. As of today, there
9:11
are over one and a half million serious adverse reactions and two thousand deaths.
9:20
I just wondered what your thoughts were with regarding to an investigation on the serious
9:24
adverse reactions that we're currently seeing. Thank you Debbie's question. I want to
9:30
take that away because I I think it's something that my committee might be interested
9:35
in looking at. Now. I need to talk to my other members of
9:37
my committee because we decide these things democratically. But I am When I was
9:43
Health Secretary, I commission in the University of Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester to
9:46
do a report onto medication error and you know we found there were eight thousand
9:52
deaths a year. And you know, obviously we are very concerned about the
9:58
adverse reaction that we have from the COVID vaccines. It's not for me to
10:03
make a judgment as to the balance of risk, but I think we do
10:07
need to fully understand the issues that you raise. Well, he's clearly not
10:13
concerned because he never did anything about it, but he did say their eight
10:18
thousand deaths a year. That was back in two seventeen. Now that equates
10:22
to about twenty two a day of medication errors. So I want to bring
10:26
your attention to a report that was published in twenty twenty three called Broken Trust,
10:31
which is about making patient safety more than just a promises. Perhaps this
10:35
report should be called broken Promises. It's been written by the Parliamentary and Health
10:39
Service Onbardsman. But what does the Onbardsman actually do? Let's see what the
10:45
Onbardsman does, because the Onbardsman is there to make the final decision on any
10:50
complaint that hasn't been resolved within the NHS, government departments or other public agencies.
10:54
So basically the buck stops there with the Onwardsman. When you go to
11:00
look at the forward in the report, it says this must never happen again,
11:05
and it harps back onto the maternity services at Eastbourne scandal, East Kent,
11:11
Morecamby, and of course let's not forget mid staffs, but actually this
11:16
is happening more And the person that wrote that forward was Rob Berns, who
11:22
was the current who was at the time the Parliamentary and Health Service Onwardsman,
11:26
and he says, but the biggest threat to patient safety is a system at
11:31
breaking point. In this report, we recognize that the NHS itself can only
11:35
go so far in improving patient safety. We need to see concerted and sustained
11:41
action from government to make sure NHS leaders have the tools to prioritize the safety
11:48
of patients and are accountable for doing so. This means getting past politics to
11:56
put patient safety at the very top of the agenda. Please remember that patience.
12:01
First, let's look at what the report found, and I'm going to
12:05
ask you to freeze the screen and read some of this because there's a lot
12:09
to go through. But the four leading causes direct causes of harm are failure
12:13
to make a right diagnosis, delays in providing treatment, poor handovers between clinicians,
12:20
and a failure to listen. And on top of that, there's compounded
12:24
harm, which basically means that when a family has lost a loved one,
12:30
they get stonewalled on top of having to go through the grief of something that's
12:35
gone horribly wrong during their stay that's resulted in their death. So they developed
12:43
the report over three years, so bearing in mind, this was published in
12:48
twenty twenty three, so this was started in twenty twenty four. Hundred detail
12:52
health complaints they went through and they found that twenty two cases of death were
12:58
more likely than not avoid Now those twenty two cases, they say are a
13:03
significant sample of a much bigger problem. And please note that these deaths were
13:09
taking place in hospital A and E I see you, and general medical awards,
13:15
which are generally full of elderly patients. To be quite honest, so
13:20
let's look at the recommendations for this report. So they recommend that basically you
13:24
should train new staff. Well, my question would be, is are we
13:28
looking at quantity over quality and what kind of staff and who are we training.
13:33
They want to attract old staff back, and they want to recruit and
13:37
retain staff. And they also talk about mixing skills, so swapping skills like
13:43
pharmacists can now prescribe for certain conditions, etc. So I want to introduce
13:50
you. Well, actually, before I do introduce you to someone, I
13:54
want you to harp back to my zoom with Jeremy Hunt, because I want
13:58
you to listen to the words that he says, and he talks about candor,
14:03
and when he talks about the duty of candor, what he means is
14:09
a general duty to be open and transparent, so everyone to be honest.
14:15
So let's listen to what he said to me two years ago somebody who very
14:22
sadly lost their daughter in a terrible error because sepsis wasn't spotted early enough,
14:30
and it was the most sad story. But the one rare sunshine is that
14:37
the hospital have been totally honest and transparent about what happened and clearly want to
14:43
learn from it. And that is something that was possible because we now have
14:48
a duty of candor. I don't think the duty of candor is implemented university
14:54
as well as it needs to be, but it's a big step forward from
14:58
the sort of cover ups that used to be very common. So there's that
15:05
cover ups candor. So I want to introduce you to Rebecca Hillsen Wrath.
15:11
Now. She was announced last year as the new Onbardsman and she was recently
15:18
speaking this week in fact as a Parliamentary Health committee, and I'd really like
15:24
you to hear what she had to say. To somebody who's out there listening
15:28
to this today, A lot of it sounds like we're protecting ourselves. Mistakes
15:35
are still happening, things are not going the right way, and all we
15:39
seem to be doing is making excuses. I think the difference The critical difference
15:43
that will be made to people who are NHS users is an improvement of their
15:50
communication with the NHS. It is the thing that we see in our casework
15:56
over and over again is poor communication. It comes in the kerk Ut reviews
16:00
and in other areas of investigation. And it's not just about what happens when
16:07
things go wrong that's critical where we see a lack of transparency, it is
16:15
also what happens before then, when people are giving views about what's going on
16:21
with themselves or their loved ones, they're not listened to. One of the
16:23
cases in our Broken Trust reports about a man who came to an emergency department
16:30
multiple times with his mother, says symptoms weren't listening to, symptoms were not
16:34
taken seriously, and she died of a stroke which was entirely avoidable had they
16:38
been listened to and had treatment been administered earlier. And it's all about being
16:44
listened to, being communicated with, and having that honesty of engagement. We
16:51
welcome the government's agreement to review the Duty of Canada, which we have said
16:56
for some time is not being properly implemented. We call for that's part of
17:02
our Broken Trust report and we look forward to contributing to it to it and
17:06
that we think lies at the heart of the trust between users of the NHS
17:11
and the people that they work with. Clearly, we have not moved forward
17:17
at all because we are seeing many, many more incidences of exactly what she
17:22
was describing. And I'm sure many people watching will be nodding their heads or
17:26
they'll know of someone that has experienced similar but also at that Select Committee,
17:32
there was someone else. And I just want to bring you back to the
17:34
junior doctors, and I hope that there are a lot of junior doctors that
17:40
are watching UK column. And if you're not junior doctors, perhaps you ought
17:44
to just switch on now because we've recently been told that you're going to continue
17:49
to take industrial action, and this industrial action could go on for the next
17:56
nine months. So I want to introduce you to again the NHS Confederation.
18:03
Now we've mentioned the NHS Confederation. Man, Okay, that's unfortunate. That's
18:14
unfortunate. So we're going to have to come back to this topic later on
18:18
if we possibly can. Yeah, Debbie's not coming back in a hurry,
18:22
so we will. We'll come back to this and I'll bring Ben on the
18:26
program. Welcome to the program, Ben, And well, I think I'd
18:29
like to know who Shola is, wouldn't we all like to know who Schola
18:33
is? So we're referring to this lady, doctor Schola most Sugar Bamimu.
18:41
Here we go a little click, we can get her name up on the
18:45
bottom left hand corner. There there we are Dr Scholas Sugar Bamimu, who
18:49
for brevity I will call Schola or Dtor Shola in this piece because her name
18:56
is a little bit of a mouthful, which is a Nigerian British lawyer,
18:59
campaign author and broadcast And the question I'm trying to answer today we're at least
19:03
going to dig into it is Scharla working for the Israeli state. And first
19:10
of all, let's allow Schaula to introduce herself in this short clip talking to
19:15
Good Morning Britain about the royal family from a couple of years ago. At
19:21
the heart of this doctor sherlot, do you believe that racism is to play?
19:25
I mean, this is a question that you feel, actually you're exhausted
19:27
of having to defend it because for you, it's so blatant that yes,
19:32
the answer is yes, racism is to play. You've taken You've taken the
19:34
words right out of my mouth. It is exhausting when you keep hearing people
19:40
either deny though racism is at the heart of this. People go it's criticism,
19:44
but it's criticism steeped in racism. And look, I think the difficulty
19:49
here for a lot of people is that they do not understand this thing.
19:52
And the thing is that it is not the job of black people and ethnic
19:56
minorities to educate white people on racism that is perpetueted by white people. White
20:03
folks need to go educate themselves on racism to perpetwet The reason why the racism
20:10
experienced by making feels so personal and it deeply resonates with a lot of people,
20:15
is because it's symptomatic of the culture of racism in the United States.
20:19
What examples do you have? Is it? That is another problem? When
20:22
people as keep asking what examples, it makes me question, It makes me
20:27
question, where have you been the last two years? Yeah? See,
20:33
you get the idea, right, So it's racism, racism, racism,
20:37
everyone's racist. Can you give us some examples? No, we can't give
20:40
you any examples of racism. It's on you to go and educate yourself.
20:44
We don't actually have to provide any proof. Classic race scrift. That's what
20:48
doctor Showler is. That's what she's been up to. That was a Kafka
20:52
trap. Actually, this is a tool of totalitarian regimes. It's a logical
20:56
fallacy where an individual is keeping something in any attempt to deny or defend themselves
21:03
against the accusations then considered as evidence of their guilt. Right. So that's
21:07
what Scholer was up to in that clip towards the end there. That's this
21:11
entire ideological paradigm that we've been subjected to in this country and elsewhere over the
21:17
past few years now. She is very critical of Israel. She certainly has
21:21
been. She's described them as behaving like Nazi Germany. Recently on Twitter,
21:26
she's also demanded that the Israeli ambassador, Zippy Hoteli I love that name,
21:33
be expelled from the UK. She made that a demand again recently on Twitter.
21:41
Very active on Twitter, all over social media. She's been sharing lots
21:44
of pro Palestinian material online and she's even joking interestingly, and this is what
21:52
spurred me to do this little segment, she's been joking about her relationship with
21:55
the Israeli state. Right, so you can see here this is from her
21:57
Instagram. She says, I've just returned from Israel and you'll be seeing a
22:02
lot more of me on your TV screens. The Israeli government has offered me
22:04
and I've accepted the role as its new and first black UK spokesperson. Drop
22:11
into the bottom there. My reputation precedes me as I bring the requisite skills
22:15
set of obfuscation, deflection, baiting and gas lighting that are second to none
22:19
from a decade of drifting to this challenging role and says this like it's a
22:26
joke, But actually I think there's a lot of truth in there, and
22:27
I'd be very interested to know what her relationship with Israel and their intelligence services
22:33
is. Now, let's dig into this a little bit further. I want
22:37
to draw your attention to this organization have we spoken about before, the UK
22:42
youth charity In My Life My Say, which is focused on the radical transformation
22:48
of British society in doctrinating young people in these extreme left wing ideologies, critical
22:53
race theory, that kind of thing, and ultimately focused on overwhelming the democratic
22:57
process, they partnered with, amongst other people, and they have a huge
23:03
number of partners right amongst other people, the US State Department via the US
23:07
Embassy in London m I six by their chairman Andrew Ruffin. They have a
23:14
representative of the Rothschild family on the board of My Life, My Say via
23:19
this organ who actually works as part of this organization are and Co four Generations,
23:26
which is a philanthropic fund run out of Paris on behalf of the Rothschild
23:30
Family focused on delivering the sustainable development goals. And My Life might Say also
23:34
partners with Tortoise Media, and we've spoken about a lot over the past couple
23:41
of months on the news because Tortoise Media is a long term strategic partner of
23:48
the Rothschild Foundation and the Rothchild Foundations Israeli counterpart it's called the Yad Hannadeev and
23:56
Yad Hannahdev was the institutional vehicle used to and Israel and build its main institutional
24:02
buildings, including the Israeli Supreme Court. You can see here this invans again.
24:07
We showed this a few weeks ago. You can see Lord Jacob Rothschild,
24:10
recently deceased, second from the right, looking at an architectural model of
24:14
the Israeli Supreme Court, and it's funded the build of the creation of that
24:18
building and also the kinneted So Rothschild and Tortoise are inextricably linked with each other.
24:26
And in November twenty twenty one, My Life, My Say, which
24:32
is connected to all of these organizations that we've just described, hosted this event
24:36
the Common Futures FORUOM. Note the language common Futures sounds a bit common purpose,
24:41
doesn't it. And this was held at the Mayor's Office, So Sedit
24:45
Cahn was headline speaker at this event, was doctor Scholar speaking alongside Reverend Al
24:55
Sharpton. So this was to round them off the day. They'd have a
25:00
full day of speakers, a lot of this very racially charged, very radical
25:07
leftist rhetoric being put forth, and doctor Schola was front and center. She
25:12
was the blockbuster, main attraction, or was probably our shop, but she
25:18
was certainly sitting on stage alongside it, which places her directly at the center
25:22
of this network of organizations which are directly linked to and I would actually suggest
25:30
almost certainly controlled by the Israeli state. Isn't that interesting? Solar Now?
25:37
It still doesn't make sense. Sorry, go on, Mike, I wanted
25:40
to jump in. No, no, you go ahead, So I mean
25:42
it still doesn't quite make sense though, does it. Right. So,
25:45
despite all of these connections, she is actually being critical of Israel, isn't
25:51
she? So? So how can she be a friend of Israel given that?
25:56
Well, the way I see it is that the biggest challenge that we
25:59
have right now, regarded at least or certainly one of the biggest challenges,
26:03
is actually having a sensible conversation with the British population about what is happening in
26:07
the Middle East. Now eighty five percent of population in this country are white
26:12
Europeans and choler there's been attacking them us for the past five years, gaslighting
26:18
us and ultimately psychologically abusing us via TV, in social media and using these
26:23
radical left wing ideologies. People don't like it. They shouldn't have to put
26:27
up with it, and her being on the side of the Palestinians makes it
26:32
a lot more difficult for them to listen to criticism of Israel and to empathize
26:37
with the Palestinian cause, and ultimately her behavior is helping to prolong and perpetuate
26:44
the genocide against the Palestinian people, whether she realizes it or not. Yeah,
26:48
okay, Ben, thank you. Debbie is back with us. So
26:52
Debbie with God to the NHS Confederation. Oh maybe they didn't want me to
26:57
give my message to the junior dogs is because this is what this is for
27:02
my friends and colleagues, junior doctors. I hope you're watching. So yes,
27:07
So we're going back to the Health and Select Committee. So also there
27:11
present was Matthew Taylor. Now Matthew Taylor is the CEO of the NHS Confederation.
27:15
Now, just to remind you, the NHS Confederation is the membership organization
27:22
that brings together, supports and speaks for the whole healthcare system in England,
27:29
Wales and Northern Ireland. Now I'm sure we all remember junior doctors are still
27:36
on industrial action. They're going to carry on and they're going to carry on
27:40
striking for the next nine months at least. Now, Matthew Taylor was at
27:45
the Select Committee, the very same one as the onwardsman. And I'm going
27:48
to say, our junior doctors the turkeys at Christmas. Our junior doctors being
27:55
blamed for excess deaths. Our junior doctors being blamed for bed blocking and our
28:04
junior doctors actually being set up to fail, and who comes first with regards
28:11
to risk, patients or compliance. And in this next little clip of Matthew
28:15
Taylor speaking at the Select Committee this week, he makes some shocking revelations.
28:21
Have a listen. We need to be olden to the public about risk.
28:26
The avoidance of risk does not always improve the overall outcome for patients. And
28:34
if I can give you an example of this during junior doctors strikes, I
28:41
visit hospitals, and hospitals feel like in some centers more functional places when junior
28:47
doctors are on strike. And that's because the consultants are not doing their outpatients
28:51
clinics or whatever. They're in the hospital. Now, that means in some
28:55
ways hospital runs more effectively. Also means that the backlog is building up,
29:00
the waiting list is building. Another reason for that is because more senior members
29:03
of staff are more willing to take risks, they have greater confidence in doing
29:07
that. I was in a hospital a couple of weeks ago where they have
29:14
people in the emergency department waiting medical assessment. These people are overwhelmingly elderly,
29:19
frail people, and the hospital manager said, if my consultant gerontologist is on
29:25
duty, he will go down this line of patients and he will work out
29:29
how to discharge each of them, to discharge each of them because he knows
29:33
that to admit somebody like this an elderly, frail person to hospital is almost
29:38
never good for them, will lead to them being deconditioned and could lead to
29:42
them also getting trapped in hospital, which is a real issue for the hospital
29:47
and its resources, etc. If, however, a junior doctor, less
29:52
experienced under pressure, goes down this line, they're quite likely to recommend that
29:56
these patients have tests which could be intrusive, and a couple of them will
30:00
be admitted because the risk of admitting is much lower than the risk of discharging.
30:07
And then that patient dies and the relatives understandably say, well, you
30:11
know you didn't do the right thing. I spoke to another hospital leader the
30:15
other day and you know, I don't want to this is it is an
30:18
anecdote, but who said they've been into maternity ward and it felt that an
30:23
enormous amount of time when I was being spent on compliance rather than being spent
30:29
with patients. Now, I don't want to say attest to the truth of
30:32
that. That's one story, But what I would want you to understand is
30:34
that sometimes the systems that seek to minimize risk do not lead aggregately to the
30:42
best outcomes for patients, and that's something I don't think we always give proper
30:47
consideration to fantastic thank you more time on compliance than patients. And my question
30:56
to junior doctors is with the metaverse robots, virtual care, do we need
31:03
junior doctors? Will we need them in the future. Does you'd like to
31:10

31:48
the third episode of Walking the Dog is on Sunday on his YouTube channel.
31:52
The link will be in the show notes under the program at at eleven am
31:56
on Sunday and at six pm on Sunday, we will be hosting a symposium
32:00
on behalf of the Heritage Party, which is entitled Defying the Real Enemy.
32:06
So they're saying that the Heritage Party counselors are discussing structure of our political system,
32:12
a topic which is frequently misunderstood by the majority of people. The conversation
32:15
will center on identifying the true culprits behind detrimental changes in our nation. So
32:22
there are going to be five people taking part in that model and Huntu has
32:25
been an interviewee on the UK Column. Also four other Heritage Project Party local
32:30
councilors Sarah Farrell, Matthew Kellerman, Sean Turner Kent, Sean Turner Sorry and
32:37
Becca Collings. So join us for that at six pm on Sunday if you
32:40
can. Then on Monday at two pm, Playing God, Jackie Duvois documentary
32:49
on democide in the NHS will be premiering on UK Column, So if you
32:52
can possibly join us for that two pm immediately after the news program to join
32:58
us then a final reminder of a quick reminder here for the Science Beautiful Festival
33:02
taking place during twenty seventh to thirtieth in Winborne in Dorset and the Stand in
33:08
the Light Festival taking place in Cumbria on May twenty fourth to twenty seventh.
33:15
Get along to those if you possibly can. Now, the news from the
33:20
Middle East is that Israel has apparently launched some kind of attack on Iran.
33:25
This is the Islamic Republic news agency talking about that air defense system activated as
33:31
blast heard in Iran's Isfahan. That's according to an official. It's not clear
33:37
exactly how significant this attack was at this point. The Iranians absolutely down playing
33:43
it. That doesn't sound like there was anything other than a number of small
33:46
drones. This is Iran destroys several micro air vehicles over Isfahan and so apparently
33:55
small drones, and the suggestion is that this was actually Israel attempting to deal
34:02
with Iran's air defense RIDAR systems and perhaps there's going to be some kind of
34:07
follow up. So it remains to be seen whether that's the case. But
34:12
as I say, various reports in the mainstream presently suggesting that Iran is playing
34:16
down the significance of it. But there are a number of questions to be
34:22
asked here with mainstream media coverage of the whole thing. Because here's the Jerusalem
34:24
Post and their tweet from this morning and has really missile strike targeted a site
34:30
in Iran early Friday morning? Too? Is really defense officials confirmed And they
34:35
have this image showing a large explosion and the image is captioned explosions heard in
34:39
Iran, Syria and Iraq. But here's the problem. That is not the
34:45
correct image. So this Islamic jahand rockets killed more civilians and gather than idf
34:51
air strikes did from twenty twenty two, and that's more or less the same
34:54
image. She certainly an image of the same event from more or less the
34:58
same position. If we just have a look at them and compare them again,
35:01
you can see that absolutely. And the caption in this image making sure
35:06
that you understand this is a ball of fire and smoke rising during Israeli air
35:09
strikes in Canness in the Gaza strip on the fifth of August twenty twenty two.
35:15
So what on earth does the mainstream media think they're doing this? Really
35:19
mainstream media think they're doing putting fake images out to describe this. It doesn't
35:23
end there other people commenting on this from other places, so this is a
35:29
round observer making The point is really media issues. Video of Lebanese Hezbel and
35:32
missile strike on Mayan brook as a strike on Iran. This is pure face
35:38
saving. So well, it's not really clear whether it's face saving or attempting
35:44
to make a bigger issue of it than it was, because it might be
35:47
face saving if the event was a failure from Israel's point of view. On
35:52
the other hand, if they intend to follow up, if this was just
35:55
a probe and they intend to follow up, then face saving isn't quite quite
36:00
the correct way to shore. But nonetheless, the media doing their usual job
36:06
of pushing more fit news than anybody else. But Ben, you've got more
36:12
on this because we were talking on the program on Monday, i think,
36:16
or on Wednesday. But the relative cost between with respect and Theirnian Our strike
36:22
on Israel, the relative cost on them making that strike and Israel's defense of
36:28
it. Yes, it was Vanessa's Peace on Monday. I was really struck
36:31
by it. It was a great piece of reporting, and there were some
36:35
numbers that jumped out at me. That made me think of some of my
36:39
business theories that I've been sneaked in over my career, and it's this idea
36:44
of disruptive innovation, which is a process where a smaller company with fewer resources
36:51
is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses. It's generally driven by increased performance
36:58
of new technologies time new technologies achieved parity with existing ones, and ultimately they
37:06
surpassed the performance of those existing technologies. We could just get that slide up
37:10
on screen. Actually, that'd be great. Yeah, So you can see
37:13
that the top line is sustaining innovation in an existing technological paradigm, and then
37:17
the bottom green line is the disruptive technology increasing in performance over time to the
37:22
point where it attains parity but at a much reduced cost, which is really
37:29
really important, and we can see this playing out in the market. It's
37:31
the very famous example used is Blockbuster Video, the iconic brand of the eighties
37:37
and nineties that was destroyed by Netflix because of the Internet. Same thing happened
37:40
with Napster and the mainstream music industry at around the same time. So the
37:45
Internet was the new technology paradigm that came in and replaced the existing VHS or
37:52
CD paradigm that was in place, and I think that we were actually watching
37:55
in real time the same thing happening now between Israel and Iran. So the
38:00
two data points that really jumped out at me were this one that Israel spent
38:07
one point three five billion dollars overnight defending itself from an attack that, according
38:14
to this gentleman professor said Mohammad Mirandhi being interviewed on Sky News on the on
38:21
the same report, cost Iran between thirty and sixty million dollars to carry out.
38:29
Right, So Israel has spent one point three billion against thirty to sixty
38:36
million, right, so for three to five percent of the cost, Iran
38:39
has essentially reached parity with Israel in this in this in this attack, and
38:49
that to me means without question that Israel, ultimately the US and the UK
38:53
military industrial complex has already lost this fight. That's not a war that can
38:58
be won. And Ben, as we were discussing before the beginning of the
39:01
program, of course we see the same thing in Ukraine. In fact,
39:06
we see the same thing with the skill of defense budgets in the United States,
39:10
you know, Kingdom and Europe. By comparison with defense budgets in Russia
39:15
and China, for example, and yet they absolutely have parody with respect to
39:20
capability, if not more capability. I think we could argue that they have
39:22
more capability in some areas for a much less cost. And so this isn't
39:30
just about Israel and Iran. No, it's the entire Western military industrial complex
39:36
and all of the fact ultimately that exists within it. You know, because
39:38
of all of those contracts, it's just going to vested interests and ultimately that's
39:45
going to be the downfall of the entire thing. Yes, thanks Ben Okay.
39:50
Now, something else Venasa has been talking about over the last couple of
39:53
months has been Unit eighty two hundred. We've talked about it as well over
39:57
the years, but she was focusing on the relationship with the tech industry and
40:02
so well, let's just bring their logo on screen here it is now,
40:07
of course eighty two hundred. What do we say about it? It is
40:09
a signals intelligence agency, so it's equivalent Israel's equivalent to the NSA and the
40:15
United States or GCHQ in the UK. But it's not just a signals intelligence
40:21
agency. It's also a cyber Warfare Agency, because for example, it released
40:27
the stocksnat virus which disabled nuclear centrifuges in Iran. Operation Orchard they ran where
40:34
they jammed Syrian radar systems without which were related to Syrian air defenses. The
40:40
Agero incident, which is the Lebanese government blamed Israel for having launched a sophisticated
40:47
cyber attack on their communications company Ugero, and they used it to spread disinformation
40:54
directly to people through the telecoms that works. So they do much more than
41:00
just signals intelligence. But then there's the other aspect of this, which is
41:05
the seeding of technology companies, not only through personnel that have been trained or
41:10
have operated through eighty two hundred, but also with financing as well. So
41:16
we should just mention in passing that. Of course, in recent days,
41:20
eighty two hundred has been in the press because of Project Nimbus. Now this
41:27
is the headline in tech Crunch. Google farres twenty eight employees after a sit
41:30
in protest over controversial Project Nimbus contract with Israel. And this is a cloud
41:37
infrastructure project which Google is contributing to. I think it's one point two billion
41:42
dollars or so. But eighty two hundred personnel involved with that and so on.
41:47
But I'm going to just move to the side a little bit for a
41:52
second, because in the recent couple of years we've seen a lot of propaganda
41:58
in the mainstream press with respeck to Huawei, which is Chinese company, and
42:02
its use and the use of Huawei technology in the UK telecoms infrastructure, and
42:10
various people, including various integrity initiative efficionados such as Edward Lucas that we were
42:16
speaking about a couple of days ago, very concerned that this is a national
42:21
security risk Huawei gear on UK telecoms networks. The Huawei will be hoovering up
42:28
bulk data sending it back to the Chinese Communist Party is basically the idea here.
42:34
And so why is this a concern, Well, because, of course
42:37
we're increasingly we're seeing dual use in terms of infrastructure, some not just civilian
42:43
use for five G networks or for satellite networks. Ben while I was talking
42:45
about satellite networks in this case, and the fact that the government now owns
42:50
the one Web satellite system will ensure that we embed dual use at the heart
42:55
of everything, including security and intelligence services and commercial partners and commercial users and
43:02
so on. So coming back then, so if my question then is if
43:08
it is a national security risk to have Huawei equipment on our telecomps networks,
43:14
might there be other national security risks here? So let's look at eighty two
43:19
hundred again and look at two organizations that eighty two hundred has spawned. First
43:23
of all Checkpoint and second of all Palo Alto Networks. No Checkpoint is a
43:30
cybersecurity company. The most famous for producing firewall appliance is that just about everybody
43:36
mean what they were at one point absolutely ubiquitous with respect to firewalls. And
43:40
of course what is a firewall. It is a piece of equipment that you
43:44
put on your internal network which processes every packet of data that goes between your
43:50
internal network, whether you're a government or a local consul or a company,
43:54
and between your internal network and the Internet, and is kip of a deepacket
44:01
inspection and so on with a view to worrying about cyber threats and making sure
44:07
that your internal network is provided. But that is protected, sorry, but
44:10
that data passes through that device, and so is it perhaps an opportunity for
44:19
a signals intelligence agency to bulk data collect I leave that question open, but
44:25
just to give we'll just look at Checkpoint for a start and their leadership.
44:30
So this is Gils fed He is the co founder and CEO of Checkpoint.
44:34
He's Israel's eighth richest billionaire, reportedly worth four point seven billion dollars. Another
44:42
person on the board doctor Dorrit Door, chief technology officer looking at Rocket initiatives
44:47
at the moment, but formerly chief product officer, so of course responsible for
44:51
the development of Checkpoints products and Checkpoint part of a consortium of cyber companies is
44:58
really cyber companies that are all involved in infrastructure in the West, and so
45:04
the question is what are we actually saying here? So who is Checkpoint looking
45:09
at well working with. So they've got a collaboration that they've just announced recently
45:15
last month with Microsoft, the Supercharge Infinity, AAI copilot with Microsoft as your
45:20
open AI service, so they're getting into artificial intelligence as well. But just
45:27
thinking about the UK, as I say, they're everywhere, so Dembighshire County
45:30
Council here, we can put that on screen selecting Checkpoints Eventia suite to simplify
45:37
security management. The NHS has provided seven thousand workers with Checkpoints secured mobile phones
45:45
and mobile devices, So what is the potential for data to be hoovered up
45:52
by this is really company? And then if we look here, just very
45:57
briefly, to look at Palo Alto Networks. I'm not going to go into
45:59
any detail with them, but this is their funder near Zuk, another eighty
46:04
two hundred alumnus. But let's just people might say, well, okay,
46:09
they worked for Unit eighty two hundred while they were living in Israel. Everybody
46:15
is required to do national service in Israel, and of course people that are
46:20
interested in these kind of topics are going to end up working for them.
46:22
And really there's nothing to see here. But I would just ask the question
46:25
again, if it's a national security risk to have Huawei gear on our telecoms
46:31
networks, why is it not a national security risk to is Really gear on
46:36
our networks, especially when that is really gear has been built and developed by
46:43
people that have a history of working with the Israeli intelligence agencies. I think
46:49
there are a lot of questions to be asked there. Okay, let's come
46:52
back to you, Debbie and the World Health Organization, Yes Ola Portugal,
47:00
because that's who we're going to be focusing on in this segment, and don't
47:04
we all love to follow a great example. So times running out, as
47:07
we know for the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty at the WHA, the Weld Health
47:15
Authorization are going to be sorry, the WHA are going to be sitting next
47:21
month in order to complete this. So times running out. Now. You
47:25
might remember a couple of years ago I interviewed the wonderful dentists from Portugal,
47:32
Martha da Silva Gamera, and she is literally incredible. She's been a one
47:38
woman band trying to get parliamentarians in Portugal to reject the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty.
47:46
Now things work a little bit differently in Portugal in the petitions mean referendums,
47:53
and people are really welcome in parliament, and Marta has got an urge
47:59
of update for so if you're in Portugal, and even if you're a pretty
48:04
living in Portugal, please listen because Martin needs your help. Thank you,
48:10
Debby, and thank you for you can column to listen to me. So
48:15
after we go to we went to de Parliament and the report of that meeting
48:21
takes too long because several questions. So all this processes delay a little bit
48:30
and then our government fall and we took about four months to have elections again
48:39
because of that. Only now this is the first petition to that will be
48:45
discussed in powerment with this government, with this parliament. Only now this will
48:51
be discussed by all several all parties in Portugal. So in the last year
48:59
I'm trying, I am to talk about this with several MPs. I am
49:05
very annoying. I'm always insisting. And in the last week I talked with
49:10
the third party in Portugal, the most conservative party, the Shiga Party,
49:16
and yeah, yesterday they finally take a public position about that they are against
49:22
panetmic treaty. Then they'll vote against all forms of the pandemic treaty. And
49:29
yesterday too I talked with the officially with an MP from the actual government,
49:37
from the commissional Health. Unfortunately, this MP in particularly, he was one
49:45
of the most on the persons that most promotes the measures of the pandemic.
49:53
He agree with all of it is his doctor, you agree with all and
49:59
he is very aligned with how this is happening. He said, don't worry.
50:07
This treaty have several issues. This could not be approved, like this,
50:15
don't worry. Let's see the Portugal respond to when Perunon not respond to
50:22
wh o? So hold the talk. Let me very very even more concerned
50:30
about this. So my hope is that the pressure from the civilian the people
50:37
and the pressure from the Conservative Party the Siga party will be at least enough
50:46
to put all the MPs for several parties at least reading the articles and read
50:54
and understand all the problems that treaty like this can can get. Martha,
51:02
thank you so much for that. Can I just ask you what is your
51:07
message now to people watching? What is your message to people in Portugal and
51:12
all around the world. All these are small steps, small steps, small
51:16
step, and I hope we get we get to achieve a great thing.
51:21
So next step is to full de parliament in the next April twenty Thurs uh
51:29
three pm Lisbon time and UK time, is to full de parliament with civilian
51:34
people. We have to put pressure on the MPs so that understand this is
51:40
a subject, that there is a problem, This is a concern for the
51:45
civilian people. This is this is problematic. We we are worried about that.
51:51
We have to put all the MPs reading the text and discuss this,
51:55
discuss this. So the next is to full the department with civilian people.
52:02
So I ask to all Portuguese people, and I know that there is a
52:08
lot of British people in Portugal. You can come to the department is open
52:15
to everybody. So I ask to all with concern with this, please come
52:22
to the department three pm. It's better to arrive a little bit earlier.
52:28
Three pm. Parliament in Lisbon. Please, we want to make a great
52:36
grand, big, big, big, big group to go to the Parliament
52:39
and assist disciplinary discission and tell the mpiece you are our representants. You have
52:49
to read this, you have to stop this. That is my ask.
52:53
That's all I ask for the Portuguese people and the British people live in the
52:59
import I know that it's a lot of people here. Will telth Assembly in
53:07
May. Can you are you near to Lisbon on the twenty third at three
53:12
o'clock If you are, please fill up Parliament millions of people please, Debbie,
53:17
thank you very much for that. No, Ben, let's move on
53:22
and well we've got another name for people, Meddikoban. Yeah, METI cho
53:28
bin and we're going to go back to my life, my Say, the
53:30
UK youth charity that we were talking about earlier on met chou Ban is the
53:36
chief executive and the founder of My Life My Say. That organization sits in
53:39
the midst of the intelligence agencies and the rothschilds, and he has been very
53:45
active and excited this week because of a new campaign that they've launched to get
53:50
young people out to vote. We have a video to run here. Your
54:06
film will be starting shortly, but before you switch your forms off, why
54:10
do not scan this QR cord and register bought. You bought to keep your
54:15
favorite celebs in the House, the Jungle, the Villa and all your other
54:21
favorite reality TV shows. But now it's time to vought for your orange reality
54:28
Registlation clauses sixteenth of vehicle you already bought, so vought. So that is
54:38
the purpose of My Life, My Say, to get young people involved in
54:42
the political process. It's why Coban got his nbe. Actually, that ad
54:45
campaign was produced by ogle By. It's one of the oldest, most established
54:50
a networks in the world. It's being shown in cinemas, so there's a
54:55
huge amount of money that's gone in to back this campaign. Been pushed by
55:00
the BBC, so they sent a team down to record this that were talked
55:05
by Sharon Gaffker in the school in London during the week. The lovies are
55:10
all behind it. You can see the campaign for the arts here talking about
55:14
all of these famous actors who are behind the campaign. Of course they are
55:17
and it was really successful. So they had over one hundred and fifty thousand
55:21
people registered to vote on New voter Registration Day, which is what the campaign
55:24
was focused around. And crucially there were one hundred and thirteen thousand under twenty
55:31
five and the twenty five to thirty four year old segments that MLMs have focused
55:37
on, so that's their core focus. They want young people getting involved in
55:39
the political process and supposedly this is non partisan, but on closer inspection the
55:45
ideological direction is really clear. Coban himself is a labor counselor in Hackney and
55:52
here he is last night with Sebek Khan pushing his mayoral campaign. So he's
55:57
obviously very much in the left wind Live ACCOUMP or British politics. And as
56:02
we also now about Suday Con, he is president of Sea forty Cities and
56:07
let's have a little look at what Sea forty cities are promoting right at this
56:10
moment. If you think green jobs start to end with installing solar panels,
56:20
think again. Green jobs are preserving and caring for natural habitats, maintaining eed
56:28
parts and charging stations, keeping our communities clean and safe from harmful waste,
56:34
Installing green walls to help clean the air we breathe, Developing efficient and cost
56:39
saving renewable technologies, Designing compact, walkable neighborhoods. Green jobs of all kinds
56:46
are essential to our transition to a more secure, sustainable, and just economy.
56:52
Green jobs foster healthier, thriving cities and help to reduce poverty and enhance
56:59
social link inclusion by pervading steable and decent employment opportunities. If we want to
57:05
build a future that works for everyone, we must rapidly prioritize and create more
57:10
green jobs today. Ah, the green transition, It all sounds so fantastic,
57:20
didn't it. Did you catch the fifteen minute cities reference. We want
57:23
compact, walkable neighborhoods apparently because we're not going to be allowed to go anywhere
57:27
else. Well that was a cartoon, right, but obviously that manifests in
57:30
the real world, and it's manifesting in the real world right now, and
57:35
Betty Choban is right at the forefront of it. So here is earlier on
57:40
this year. This is taken from the website company called Zest, and Zest
57:45
is installing electric vehicle charging units in Hackney. Coban made a statement saying,
57:53
amongst other things, that the switch to evs will help tackle pollution and create
57:58
a greener, healthier Hackney. We're really happy to be working in partnership with
58:00
Zest, who are funding, installing and operating the new charges right and then
58:05
as a statement here from the CEO of ZES, Robin heat saying that we're
58:08
delighted to be working in long term partnership with Hackney. The scale of this
58:13
project shows what bold thinking and public private partnership can achieve. So this is
58:16
essentially a fascist system. Public private partnership is fascist. The social equity built
58:22
into the project means that people right across the borough will get access to EV
58:25
infrastructure. They're big on equity. They love this neo Marxist terminology. And
58:30
it then says, as a certainified B corp, we're committed to projects that
58:34
deliver benefits for everyone. So as a B Corp as well, and as
58:37
we found out a couple of weeks ago on a cover of B Corps,
58:39
they are essentially there to help implement the sustainable development goals. They're inextricably linked.
58:45
And all of this is being funded by the state, so that what
58:49
I've just gone through there is paid for by the LEVI scheme, the local
58:52
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Funding scheme, which has got four hundred million pounds worth of
58:57
taxpayer money being diverted into places like overseen by people like Metti cho Ban who
59:01
is working directly with Sadeikah on See forty cities. The US intelligency sees the
59:07
rothschild families to completely transform British society and overwhelm of the democratic process. And
59:12
that's what we're going to see a lot more of this year. Yes,
59:15
indeed, indeed, well we're well, well, we'll be reporting a lot
59:17
more on this this year, I have no doubt. Thank you, Ben.
59:22
Okay, Well, look we are out of time, so we're going
59:24
to have to leave it there for today. I'm going to say thank you
59:27
