Reason and Resolution produced Results against Fear, Falseness and Fascism
My mother recalled being pregnant in 1942 and the stray string of bombs that exploded on either side of the house near Birmingham whose shock waves brought my sister into the world. I followed shortly after D day. Those were the days when Reason and Resolution produced Results against Fear, Falseness and Fascism.
The men and women of today could be resolute but it is easier safer and more Woke not to be so.
Unlawful Boris Diktats
This Government could be truthful and reasonable but that is hard work. It is easier to avoid details sweat and tears and never admit errors, but rather doggedly and with dimness support error with deceit, instil fear, and tighten control to destroy faith and democracy with tyranny and unlawfulness.
I say unlawful as the clarity of legal argument from Lord Sumption [Note 1] makes a strong case for immediate cessation of all Boris Diktats, arguable though the political Attorney General will inevitably contend it otherwise.
I refer all readers to this excellent site where they will find all facts, graphs and other information that they need but will never find on the Boris releases. Accordingly I will not add to the length of this article by adding more than I must.
The strength and spread of the Covid virus could only ever be calculated by looking at total deaths. That number found on the ONS was never enough when compared to the five year average, except around April 2020, despite the Boris Scamdemic and fear-control factors.
Kary Mullis, Mike Yeadon and Carl Heneghan
Kary Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry. He said that “There is no gold standard for Covid”. A positive test is not proof of a disease. It is a surrogate test. It is not testing causation and so you cannot use the CPR test for diagnoses [Note 2]. There is a peer-reviewed article in the journal “Clinical Infectious Diseases” from Prof Carl Heneghan and others (link), concluding: “Complete live viruses are necessary for transmission, not the fragments identified by PCR. … Those with high cycle threshold are unlikely to have infectious potential.”
Initial results from Lateral Flow Tests from Austria mass tests (which Mike Yeadon et al explain here) show they are more accurate than PCR tests, see e.g. data from Austria, e.g. in “Der Standard”. In Vorarlberg the positive rate was just under 0.4%, in Vienna around 0.5% and in Innsbruck 0.3% (in: “First interim results from Austria mass tests”, link).
Boris Piffle
Boris is deceitful in his persistence with his errors. He wrongfully calls a positive test a “case”. It is not so. Alas the failure of Hancock to understand maths [with which I deeply sympathise] adds more confusion. It is alleged that the false positive rate in the discredited PCR test is about 1% says Hancock [and up to 2.35% , others say]. Accordingly, if for example the covid rate is 0.1% then, if you are tested positive with a 1% false positive rate, you at least 90% likely to be negative. In Hancock’s mistaken view the 100% positives are only likely to have an error factor of 1%. He is so wrong – and the higher cycles make his error even graver. There is no point it seems in any of this multi billions of pounds PCR testing. However, while the Lateral Flow Test has advantages it still has a false positive rate of circa 0.32% [Note 3].
The Vaccines
The trials were skimpy and will continue in a unique way by using the early applications as continued trials. There have now been changes in vaccine rules after the cases of Anaphylaxis.
The Great Barrington Declaration
The eminence of all the authors is beyond question. Their aim seems to me to have sought an escape route for Bois to back down with “honour intact”. It was wise, knowledgeable and diplomatic. It kept to the salient points for them (which this narrative has widened for you) without straying into areas like Air Purification. I was disappointed at its limitations but these life lines of wisdom were not grabbed by Boris who is heading towards a Constitutional and Economic disaster that is igniting national opposition which is growing apace.

Notes and Literature:
Note 1: LORD SUMPTION ON HIS BIKE IN FRANCE GIVES A WISE AND ESSENTIAL CONSTITUTIONAL CAMBRIDGE LECTURE (28 October 2020, see here):
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, especially when fear is created as people crave security so the state creates more fear and obtains greater control. Yet Parliament is not ready and willing to act and to stand for its high callings, rather it seems to have abrogated its responsibilities.
Fear is a potent instrument of the state. It promotes intolerant conformism and abuse. Fear was deliberately stoked up by the state and by selective use of statistics and modellers: these were not accidental matters but part of a strategy whose errors and failures assisted in success. Boris is sustained in power by appealing to the irrational and emotional in collective wisdom.
Boris is in power only with the consent of Parliament via the People, which he side-lines and avoids thus diverging from our constitutional past, and acts unlawfully whilst instructing the police to do likewise and with political discrimination in their actions.
Appropriate powers were available in the Civil Contingency Act 2004 and the Coronavirus Act 2020 but were ignored as Parliament had powers of oversight.
Boris unlawfully used Part 2a of the Public Health and Disease Act 1984, as amended 2008. Such actions required Parliamentary scrutiny and approval which Boris wanted to avoid. The Boris activities are totalitarian as they did not get Parliament’s approval. See Lord Hoffman in House of Lords Ex Parte Simms 2000.
Government by decree is not just constitutionally objectionable but bad government creating a delusion that authoritarian government gets things done. There is no detailed knowledge, no strategy, no wider thought, no research, no understanding of the all-round implications for the economy or health of the nation. The ministers act on the hoof, promote loyalty against wisdom, flattery against objective advice. These absences promote unfounded self-confidence, banish moderation and restraint. All these are vices seen in this Government
The British Public must wake from its failures to understand how these matters are an assault on social interaction eroding the glue of social wellbeing of a once united country and engage actively in politics, join political parties, and connect with MP’s.
(Summary prepared by the Editor of briefingsforfreedom.co.uk)
Note 2: Mullis stimulated the growth cycles of the PCR test. 30 cycles are essential, the more cycles you do then the more that you see the virus. At 36 cycles you see the positive result. At 40 you get much more. If you amplify it 50 times 100% become positive. The amplification causes functional false positives as the asymptomatic are not infectious and so there is no value in quarantine for them. Hence no one who understands this will wish to cooperate with test and trace.

In the last few days I have noticed that the swervers are back with a vengeance. This phenomenon was barely tolerable in May but in Dec makes me so angry I struggle to be civil. Low information chattering class ninnies. Walking down the poshest road in my town, EVERYONE that I passed was doing it, standing well to one side, walking in the middle of the road…with dogs!, waiting for me to pass. I guess the Grauniad and BBC have upped the propaganda from the Medical Dictatorship. I hope these virtue-signalling fools encounter a real killer infectious disease one day. They need to get some perspective the hard way. This year won’t be the year though as excess deaths are um not excessive.
Thank you for this article. I do not pretend to understand all of the detail though I vaguely understand why the PCR tests are inherently inaccurate.
I do agree that the Great Barrington Declaration gave our government a chance to reverse policy. They chose to ignore that opportunity.
Overall I 100% agree that this Covid Dictatorship is unconstitutional and totally abhorrent.
After Boris held discussions with Gates in particular he is no longer to be trusted. Gates is a serious contender for the title of “Most Evil Being on the Planet”.
I believe Boris is just another puppet as were May, Cameron and others before them who clearly put other interests before those of our country.
The brazen bare faced cheek of the local Tories in my area has surpassed itself : they had the gall to come round leafleting for , I suppose, Council elections. (this probably indicates that there will be local elections this year). After massacring the economy and our basic human rights and cherished British common law,and party to the biggest crimes against humanity ever etc etc etc………
‘this probably indicates that there will be local elections this year’ Well mary, your local tories assume there will be anyway.
Maybe that’s right. Surely there is a limit to what the covid dictatorship can get away with.
Now, what we need is some sort of agreement between the several alternative parties, i.e. alternative to the traditional big parties, so that it is clear what to vote for. So that they are not competing against each other.
Presumably, though I don’t know this, Ukip still have some sort of local organisation.
Bad news re Simon Dolan case:

Thank you for this article. Fully agree with the author.
Re extract from Lord Sumption’s speech;
“The British Public must wake from its failures to understand how these matters are an assault on social interaction eroding the glue of social wellbeing of a once united country and engage actively in politics, join political parties, and connect with MP’s”
How true! One can hardly complain of the Government incompetence, lying, and authoritarianistic response to Covid if they cannot be bothered to, at the very least, write to their Tory MPs to express their views.
Jake Bennett. Well I do write to mine. He does reply. Naturally he toes the Party line. But do you know what? He is gradually moving in ‘our’ direction! Helped by the fact of the ‘Tiers’ being based on huge County Council areas which in the case of his Constituency is glaringly inappropriate.
There may still be some light at the end of the tunnel.
I fully support Barrington and Lockdown Sceptics.
Regarding getting involved in political parties, I supported UKIP and had high hopes for Richard Braine as leader; if his presentation re Withdrawal Agreement was anything to go by. I will never forgive those who made all that trouble for him and destroyed him and the the party. at the same time making puerile smutty remarks about his name (Dick). Helping BoJo to an even more stomping majority.
I wish Fox’ and Kurten’s new parties all the best however.
Ref Fox And Kurten’s new Parties and other existing small pro nation Parties, I simply hope they have the sense to come to a sensible working co-operation with Farage and Reform UK as without that, they will split the pro nation vote.
Their objectives IMHO should include doing maximum damage to the Conservative Party since Labour have already all but destroyed their blue collar credibility and the rest are irrelevant.
Sorry I just dont trust Farage.Track record plus what ge does NOT say. Thats why I left him out of this.He’s had his chance
.
mary. Fully agree. Especially about Richard Braine. That was the positively last straw for me regarding Ukip.
But in the end it is not so much what party one joins as what Party one votes for. If Ukip have candidates in May 2021 locals and there is not another ‘alternative’ candidate, I’ll know to vote ukip.
