Nick Busvine writing for Briefings for Britain pens a thoughtful piece about the role of the civil service over the past few years.
The “Yes Minister” and the later “Yes Prime Minister” political sitcoms were golden comedy, but they also gave us a very uncomfortable feeling that they revealed more than a grain of truth about how our country is actually governed (if you haven’t watched any of these yet, they are a most welcome merging of both hilarious and essential viewing, and they are available on multiple platforms).
If anybody in 2016 was complacently thinking that “we the people” were held in respect by our “democratic” system then the ensuing slow-burn parliamentary meltdown surely put paid to such thoughts, and now in 2021 after 18 months of governmental posturing over Covid-19 that can only be understood on the assumption of malign intent, we can see that we face a similar situation, even if full-on meltdown is not yet close enough.
The primary difference between the Covid and Brexit situations is that Parliament is currently more or less united behind the government (although small cracks are beginning to widen) whereas for Brexit this was very difficult because our government wanted something that was clearly incompatible with the popular understanding of Brexit, but dared not be seen to openly thwart the will of the people.
Under Covid the pressure is less because
(a) the people have not had a formal vote, so the “will of the people”, being less clearly defined, can be spun by all the usual pundits
(b) Parliament has been antisocial distancing, limiting the numbers able to physically attend the chamber, thus tending to make our MPs more controllable.
So again we have Government and Parliament lined up against “we the people”.
But how can I say that when clearly “the people” are split?
There are three groups:
- those who perhaps naïvely wish to remain in lockdown, complacent to the implications
- those who are ambivalent
- those who foresee the coming awful and permanent destruction of liberty economy and prosperity and the foundations of our traditional way of life – namely: family, tolerance, good sense, generosity, and freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of choice.
Yet I venture to suggest that groups 1 and 2 do not yet appreciate the risks that are foreseen by group 3. We have had neither debate nor referendum, because those who guide our government do not wish to come clean about the options for the future.
It is up to group 3 to do all it can to rectify this situation.
The hall-marks of the Covid crisis have been the constant shifting of the goal-posts, allied to complete deafness to all but a closed and seemingly incompetent coterie of “scientific advisers”, culminating in an unnecessary and prima facie criminal mass-medication programme masquerading as “immunisation”.
Now, after 18 months of turmoil, we can no longer believe a word that our government says.
We the people secured a great victory in Brexit (OK – imperfect but a huge stride nonetheless) – we must now determine to do so again by making both our views and our determination constantly visible in every way possible:
- Letters to our elected representatives, newspapers, quangos, and regulators
- Postings to social media
- Freedom of Information requests
- Protests and street stalls as may be considered legal
- Spreading the word in whatever way possible (T-shirts, posters, apparel etc)
- Taking legal action where feasible to expose and stop the criminality
- And infusing the above with as much good humour and merriment as we can devise
This battle is not yet over.
There is a window of opportunity before they slam the gates shut once more, and we must make the most of it.
Remember, the PCR test is
(a) open to manipulation by running more or fewer cycles
(b) at best inaccurate
(c) at worst fraudulent
The entire credibility of the “pandemic” rests on the assumption that the PCR test is accurate. If the test falls, so does the pandemic. There is a reason why they don’t want us to talk about it.
Think not of holidays this summer, but engage the Battle for our British Way of Life.
We have to organise , focus on winnables and stop squabbling amongst ourselves..a la ukip
Jim, you scoffed at one of my comments yesterday, but I agree with your article in every respect, except that it does not go far enough.
Most of the testimonies to Reiner Fuellmach’s Coronavirus enquiry are from scientists and medics across a broad range of expertise, and investigative journalists like Brian Gerrish of UK Column and Witney Webb (she is especially worth listening to – encyclopaedic knowledge of the cat’s cradle of the WEF and supranational bodies and private ‘philanthropists’; names, dates, money, she seamlessly links them all.)
But Vera Sharav, comes from a different background. This is deeply moving, and shocking I expect, for those who haven’t already let their mind go that far. It is 45mins, but riveting. Amazing lady.
If Dr David Martin’s dry factual, recitation of all the patents did not convince you that evil is afoot, perhaps this testimony, from personal lived experience, will.

The latest wheeze of the the Biden administration to get Tech Oligarchs to censor not just social media but also direct personal messaging such as WhatSapp is probably the biggest nail so far in the coffin of free speech in the West. – States like Texas and Florida who have returned to normal and outlawed vaccine passports are our only hope as the Feds and Europe and Boris are happy to go full totalitarian for sure.
Completely wrong.
The danger to our way of life is from mass immigration. Especially as the immigrants are hostile to our culture.
Harry, mass immigration is indeed a danger but only one of many tools implemented by the real enemy within; “our” own government.
Is that RE teacher from Batley Grammar School still in hiding ? The one who was suspended for showing his pupils a picture of the Prophet?
I wasn’t aware of that. Maybe you could provide a link?

Jack T, this is what I sent in at 8.13 pm, but it got lost. Let’s hope it gets through this time. I don’t know how to do links, it’s the title of the article : –
“Teacher suspended after showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad to pupils during an RE lesson at West Yorkshire school refuses to return to work and remains in hiding over fears for his life”

Thanks for that Ralph. You should be able to copy the URL of the site and just paste it in the text. I used to live in West Yorkshire and know it was/is a hotbed of Islamic extremism, confirmed by the Bradford riots. I had a friend who sat on the police committee (or whatever it’s called) there at the time. He resigned after the failure to seek and prosecute the perpetrators. In reality it warranted a military response.
Everything can be reversed. But not mass immigration.
I agree with Jim, as the saying goes, on this one, Harry. But I agree with you about mass migration. And with Jack below. Of course it’s a tool.
Scaring people into submission. The Government will not change or see the light unless they feel the heat. There is certainly a battle to be fought.
Mayhar Tousi puts this very well:
“Jacinda Ardern’s DANGEROUS Comments Against Free Speech”
https://youtu.be/K9HSzQ1G_iA
As Mayhar say’s – not that we didn’t know this but he puts it so well – “when these Communist dictators are no longer believed by the people, then they end up taking lives to stay in power and force compliance: this is the point where we are at now.
Evil b****, but who in their right mind would trust her government to provide any factual information?
Thank you Jim Makin. Very thought provoking. I agree wholeheartedly with the points you make.
Yes, it was very clear in the long brexit fiasco that the will of the people was being frustrated. This time it is less clear for the reasons you give.
Also, as you say the people are divided. That division is inevitable after the the propaganda machine ‘the people’ have been subjected to.
As you say the battle for the British way of life must be fought by group three and I venture to suggest that this time it is even more important than the previous battle.
Pauline, you say “it was very clear in the long brexit fiasco that the will of the people was being frustrated”. But the will of the people on Brexit was not just frustrated, but directly reversed. Under the agreements negotiated with the European Union (the WA & PD, and later the TCA) Britain withdrew from membership of the EU to become its colony instead.
On 14th November 2018, on the night when Theresa May agreed to the Withdrawal Agreement stipulated in Article 50, Jeroen Reijnen, who was Guy Verhofstadt’s head of media and communications, crowed triumphantly “we finally turned them into a colony, and that was our plan from the first moment”. How right Jeroen Reijnen was, still is now and probably will be, given the Remain sympathies of most MP’s in Westminster.
Regarding the Covid Scamdemic, you are right to say that it is an even greater threat to the traditional liberties of the British way of life (where are those liberties now?). Not just to British liberties, but to British lives. Who knows what’s in the false vaccines? They can’t truly be vaccines when they don’t stop the Covid “variants”.
After all, Covid-19 had a free run through the 3,700 or so people on the Diamond Princess in January 2020 before Covid got its name. After quarantine began on board on 3rd February 2020, seven hundred people fell ill from Covid. At the end of quarantine Covid had managed to kill fourteen of them, when there were no safety measures in January. And we have to take that figure on trust. Fourteen out of three thousand seven hundred. It’s hardly the Black Death is it?
Not only was the Covid-19 genetic code deliberately fabricated by Big Pharma, but its lethality has been grossly exaggerated by Western scientists. The Covid Scamdemic has been utterly fraudulent in every way from the very start.
Ralph Prothero. Why do you choose me to ‘preach’ to? (L.O.L.) You are preaching to the converted!
I wrote it because the truths that Brexit has been thwarted, and that the Covid pandemic was created by Big Pharma, are never heard in the MSM. It wasn’t for you alone Pauline, but for anybody who might come across it. Our country is well on the way to falling under totalitarian rule, as is the rest of western Europe, we live in dark times.
I think as all these items were intended to take place at seemless and prepared intervals to take place in an orderly fashion. However Brexit threw a spanner in the works and started people thinking , . they then managed to release Covid early and nothing is orderly now.We are now where the ordinary MP with his head screwed on is plotting escape routes . The decline still has a long way to go yet before our ultimate superiors need worry., but they’ve started fidgeting. Too much has become visible
I am a quarter German and I reckon the Hun will not accept this nonsense again.
