Milkman Is Arrested By Police Who Mistook Him For A Burglar

A milkman was given an early morning wake up call when he was dramatically arrested by police who’d mistaken him for a burglar because he was driving about so early in the day.

The unnamed driver for Aycliffe Dairies, in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, had been carrying out his morning rounds at about 5 am Wednesday when he noticed police at the Greenfield Convenience Store.

He initially thought nothing of it but then realised police were following his milk truck.

He quickly rang his boss Russ Gibson to say he believed he was going to be pulled over, and he was, but after brief questioning, he was permitted to continue on his route, only to be arrested while stopping for a drink a mere 15 minutes later, as three police cars swooped in and dragged him out of his vehicle.

Russ Gibson described the entire ordeal as crazy, and he said the driver said the police were following him and then pulled him over.

He explained that he was delivering milk, but the police kept asking what he was doing there that early in the morning and just kept questioning him.

He even opened the back of the doors and showed them the milk but said he was told there had been a break-in at Greenfield shop and that he matched the description.

After a while, the police ended up believing him and he just kept driving.

Russ Gibson said 15 minutes later the driver stopped for a beverage when he was then beset by three police vehicles.

He said he was told police then got out of their vehicle, took him out of the car and arrested him.

Russ Gibson said he showed them his work badge and told them to look at the delivery sheet but was told to stop resisting, it was mad. The next thing, they were taking him to the police station.

Russ Gibson said that they have trackers on the vans so he went to pick it up but there was a cop car guarding it.

The business owner maintains he was told the truck couldn’t be moved as it was evidence but told police he needed to take the milk out of the vehicle to ensure it didn’t go off.

Russ Gibson said after explaining the situation to the police he was able to get the driver released and then able to recover the truck at 7 am.

The police need to improve their recruitment criteria, possibly by including a basic intelligence test.

This was shocking, especially when the driver offered to show his work pass and delivery sheet, but that was seen as resisting arrest – unbelievable!

What they should be doing is a full-frontal lobotomy for all new recruits, just in case, their IQ is over 5. Then they wonder why people can’t stand the police.

And law-abiding citizens pretty soon start to dislike the police if they’re acting in such a blatantly ridiculous way. This driver was obviously a milkman, and it’s pretty well known that they’re up early, and so are expected to be seen out on the roads at the crack of dawn.

He showed the police the contents of his truck, so it was rather apparent that this man was not the perpetrator of a crime, but he matched the description – yes, he was a man with a van, but it was hardly an inconspicuous one. It had huge pictures of cows on it, and I hardly think that the perpetrators of a crime would have used a van with huge cows on it, of course, that would have been udderly ridiculous.

Mum And Her Disabled Son, Three, Face Living In Her Car

The mother of a disabled three-year-old has revealed how they’re facing living in her car after her landlord almost doubled her rent and then began eviction proceedings before the CDC issued a new eviction ban.

A cessation of residential evictions that kept millions of people from being forced out of their homes terminated on Saturday, and the Biden administration struggled to issue a new extension on Tuesday.

Before the extension was brought in, Sheryl Chavez, 39, said she was given 30 days to leave her home of eight years in rural Edenton, North Carolina, after her landlord chose to raise her rent from $450 a month to $825.

Sheryl Chavez, a former Correctional Sergeant for Pasquotank Correctional Institution, said that mass migration to the region from urban COVID 19 hotspots in the last 18 months had driven up rental costs to unaffordable levels.

She shares the home with her friend, Lefein Noel, 29, and son Allister, 3, who was born with severe brain damage to his nervous system.

Sheryl Chavez told a newspaper outlet that she felt hurt and afraid, and that she’d rented her home from this woman for 8 years only for her to slide a letter into her mailbox, and that she doesn’t know where she’s going to go if she has to leave.

She said to be ousted like it wasn’t a huge deal was extremely hurtful, and not just because the rent was owed, but just to cash in on the great housing market, and that because of the housing deficit and the demand for homes, landlords all over the country were evicting their tenants and putting the homes up for sale at far greater than their value.

Without being able to find affordable housing inside the area, Sheryl Chavez said she risks living out of her car with her son who is seriously disabled.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday extended the eviction moratorium for 60 days, a move that risks being challenged in court and one that President Joe Biden admits may not be constitutional.

The agency announced that CDC director Rochelle Walensky signed an order that determined the removal of tenants for failure to make rent or housing payments could be harmful to public health control measures to slow the spread of COVID.

The order expands the eviction cessation until October 3 and applies to counties that encounter substantial and high levels of COVID transmission.

Renters always get a bad deal from shameful exploitative landlords in the US, and the CDC doesn’t have the power to issue any bans, but since Biden’s America, laws don’t appear to matter, and it looks like the CDC figures they have the power to do whatever they want.

Evictions are shameful, and nobody should ever be homeless, especially with a disabled child, and the US needs to house their people, especially those that have paid their taxes.

The problem is, this is the USA, apparently where the streets are paved with gold. However, they don’t have a housing system with social housing that their government can help out with. Perhaps that’s why their taxes are much lower than those in other countries, but then maybe that’s why they have so many homeless folk!

But then it’s not the renters home, it’s the landlords home who aren’t able to make their mortgage payments because some tenants can’t afford the rent, but then the renters should have thought of that before taking out a mortgage and renting their home out. They must have realised that things like this can happen when renting out – of course, they shouldn’t have to lose their home because of someone else, but then it’s not fair on the renter or the tenant.

Forgotten Inmates In the Prison That Disgraces America

A broiling Cuban evening, October 2003. Major General Geoffrey Miller, a squat, rebellious artillery officer who is now commandant of the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, stands in the shade of a palm tree by his headquarters.

His interrogators, he said arrogantly were developing enormously important intelligence, which had foiled terrorist strikes in both America and Britain, and that he thought of Guantanamo as the interrogation battle lab in the war against terror.

He said that their methods were humane. Occasionally dealing with a hardened prisoner, they might have to become aggressive, but that usually, they got their information by building a rapport and that the inmates gave up their secrets because they’ve come to appreciate the kind, civilised values that Guantanamo represents.

To watchers of the acclaimed film drama The Mauritanian, the real story of former Guantanamo prisoner Mohamedou Ould Slahi, Geoffrey Miller’s assertions may seem difficult to believe.

Captured in his home country on the edge of the Sahara after a bogus tip-off that he was an al Qaeda revolutionary, Mohamedou Ould Slahi was taken to Guantanamo in 2002.

On Geoffrey Miller’s watch, he was reduced to shackling in excruciating stress positions for hours on end and to extremes of heat and cold, sleep deprivation, sexual embarrassment and beatings. He was even made to drink seawater when he said he was thirsty.

The use of these enhanced interrogation methods has long been documented in US government reports, in relation not only to Mohamedou Ould Slahi but to hundreds of others.

Eventually, in 2016, after more than 14 years, Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was now 50 years old, went home, cleared of all charges, and the years of torture and isolation had been for nothing, and whatever he may have told his interrogators, it couldn’t have stopped any terror strikes because he was never a revolutionary.

As for Geoffrey Miller, by the time he was given a Distinguished Service Medal on retiring in 2006, he’d been publicly accused of overseeing the abuse of detainees not only at Guantanamo but at the prison he ran both before and afterwards, at Abu Ghraib in Iraq.

Efforts were made to prosecute him for war crimes, and he faced interrogation by the US Congress, but he vehemently denied being accountable for cruelty and claimed orders he gave were misinterpreted.

Now, Guantanamo seldom makes the news, particularly in Britain, and the last of its 18 British detainees, Londoner Shaker Aamer, was released in 2015.

Of course, some of those detainees probably were revolutionaries, but then two wrongs don’t make it right, and some of those detainees had nothing to do with what they were being accused of, and these people had no trial to determine whether they were innocent or guilty, and that was just pure evil.

And some of them were there without any evidence or trial, and suspicion is a weak justification for abusing human beings.

The worst thing of all here is that they all deserve a fair trial, but you know what people are like, all they care is that they’re humans, and frightened human beings will say whatever you want so that they don’t get a beating or the threat of being sexually abused.

Human beings are being treated like animals, but animals can only be threatened in the moment so can’t be controlled. So, they are treated like animals, but they’re actually human beings, and whatever these people might have done, or not done, they still have human rights.

Cost Of Holiday COVID Tests Rises By 60 Per Cent In A Week

A newspaper outlet reported that the price of coronavirus travel tests has increased over the past week despite repeated Government promises to drive down the cost.

Even though ministers have repeatedly promised to make travel testing more affordable, the official government website for booking gold standard PCR tests has instead seen prices increase by 60 per cent.

Analysis shared with the newspaper outlet suggests the average price for a package of two PCR tests advertised by the 50 most affordable government-approved providers was £46 on Thursday.

But it stood at £75, an increase of 63 per cent in only four days, and in actuality, the real cost facing families is expected to be much costlier, with the average price normally twice as high as the one listed once the tests are booked.

This is because, when holidaymakers click through to the companies websites, many of the most affordable packages are unavailable, driving the normal price of a two swab home test package to about £117.

Currently, people returning from amber list countries who are not fully vaccinated must quarantine for ten days and take a PCR test on days two and eight of their self-isolation.

The requirements are adding hundreds of pounds to the price of family holidays, and even those who’ve had both jabs need at least one PCR test after returning to the United Kingdom.

These requirements are adding hundreds of pounds to the cost of family holidays, but there’s been little in the way of tangible action to reduce the bill for travellers.

The cost of tests could be quickly cut if the Treasury heeded calls to exclude VAT of 20 per cent, but sources suggested such a move was no longer being considered.

Excluding VAT would reduce the normal price of a two swab home test package from £117 to £97.50.

It comes as research suggested 17 million people were contemplating going overseas this summer, meaning the Government stands to make £476 million on VAT on holiday tests.

Avi Lasarow, of testing firm Prenetics, said that their research shows that if the Government removed VAT, it wouldn’t only pay for the flights of a family of four travelling to Majorca, it would also spur demand and provide a much-needed boost for the hard-hit UK travel trade, and he called on other firms to promise to pass on possible VAT savings to customers too.

But travel won’t return to normal until the tests and paperwork go away, and the UK by now must realise that the so-called promises by Boris Johnson’s Government means nothing because it’s never kept.

And this appears to be a money-making racket, and an excuse to siphon billions, and it seems that they can steal from us with a smile on their face and people will still continue to vote for them.

If you’ve been fully vaccinated, what’s the point of having a test done, but then we in this country always seem to get ripped off and the Government always does absolutely nothing to stop it.

But being doubled jabbed still means that you can catch it and pass it onto others. Perhaps that’s so that you have to download your digital wallet vaccination passport so that they can monitor and surveillance all of your movements.

This whole pandemic seems to be about making money and control and has anyone noticed how much petrol and diesel has gone up in the last 12 months, and it’s almost gone unnoticed with the news outlets barely ever mentioning it, and people are being utterly robbed at the pumps.

Damaging Republican Report Into Wuhan Laboratory

A damning report by Republications has declared that coronavirus first leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan in September 2019, soon after the Chinese research facility attempted to improve air safety and waste treatment systems.

The report also mentioned sufficient proof that scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, aided by US experts and Chinese and US government funds, were working to modify coronaviruses to infect humans and such manipulation could be hidden.

Its authors cited a stream of open-source data, including satellite imagery showing a surge in visitors to local hospitals, long before cases were recorded emerging from a nearby market.

And it reported how scientific papers written by researchers proved the WIV was doing dangerous genetic modification research, the so-called gain of function experiments, in unsafe laboratories.

Representative Mike McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, as he released the report by the panel’s GOP team said that as they proceeded to examine the origins of the COVID 19 pandemic, he believed that it was time to dismiss the wet market as the source of the outbreak.

Instead, he said, as the report laid out, a preponderance of the evidence demonstrated that all roads led to the WIV and that they knew that gain of function research was happening at the WIV and they knew it was being done in unsafe conditions.

He demanded a bipartisan inquiry into the origins of a pandemic that has now claimed 4.4 million lives throughout the globe, but China denied the virus leaked from a laboratory and the early scientific consensus was that it likely emerged naturally, jumping from a host animal to humans, perhaps at a market near the WIV.

But that consensus was cast into doubt when a string of scientists said they couldn’t be certain of the pandemic’s origins. As a result, President Joe Biden ordered the intelligence community to look again at the question.

The new report cites open-source data and claims that the virus emerged from the Wuhan laboratory before September 12, 2019.

Its evidence includes satellite imagery revealing heightened activity at hospitals around the WIV’s headquarters, as well as a spike in the use of internet search articles related to COVID 19 symptoms.

That information was reported last year and disputed by some authorities, but the report also cited what it called new and under-reported information about safety protocols at the laboratory, including a July 2019 request for a $1.5 million overhaul of a hazardous waste treatment system for the facility, which was less than two years old.

Of course, by the time I’ve written this article, this will be old news, but the thing is, what’s going to be done about it? And even if it could be established to be true, what would government’s do about it? Probably nothing.

China is a dangerous country with enormous resources in manpower technology weapons and infinite cash resources, but we seem to love their cheap affordable disposable electronics, and they appear to have their fingers in every pie, so even if we could prove they were responsible for COVID, what could we possibly do?

Someone clearly designed this pandemic or even funded it, but we will probably never find out how or why, but if we do then they should face Nuremberg style trials, otherwise this will happen again. People died and nobody seems to be guilty!

And these facilities appear to be more dangerous than nuclear sites.

But then you have to think about it when it comes to COVID, this was about way before it was announced, with numerous people coming down with virus type symptoms. I got ill with a very bad virus in the November, which lasted until just after New Year. All my doctor kept saying was that there was a very bad virus going around and that it would go on its own, which it did, but it took months.

There was no social distancing, no vaccine, no mask, no restrictions. Shops open, sports and music events as usual. Family doctors seeing people as usual, with no apocalypse of old people dying of old age and given the usual cause of death, not COVID, and nobody seemed to recognise a problem whatsoever until the media told them there was this virus.

Sydney Nurse Is Sacked

A Sydney nurse says she was fired for giving unwanted doses of Pfizer vaccine to her daughter and two nephews instead of ejecting them in the bin.

Grandmother Kirstin Peterson, 67, was working for Healthcare Australia at an aged care facility and had three shots of the Pfizer jab left over at the end of the day.

Each vial contains five doses of the vaccine, but if the remaining doses are left over after it’s been opened, they can’t be kept and must be thrown away, but rather than dispose of the coveted vaccine, she gave them to her family members.

Each family member was eligible to receive Pfizer, she said, but her bosses fired the 40-year veteran nurse on the spot.

She said that it broke her heart to see those doses just being squirted in the bin and that she felt terrible because that could have been used for someone else, but instead, they go in the bin.

The nurse had been working at different aged care and disability homes in the Greater Sydney region and had been careful to minimise wastage, and she said that Pfizer has to be kept in very specific, demanding conditions and expires quickly, but Kirstin Peterson said that she only ever had to dump three doses in total, before the incident with her family.

She said that normally, she didn’t have any to throw out, and that she’d been pretty fortunate, and that on the day her family members came in, none were squirted out, they were used.

She maintained that she wouldn’t have opened a vial of vaccine just to vaccinate her own family.

She said that they were the spares that were going to be discarded anyway, that there was no gain for her, and there was no monetary incentive.

Kirstin Peterson urged her bosses not to fire her but the pleas fell on deaf ears, even though she asked if she could have another chance, but they said no, and she said that it was only her job at the moment, but they said that she’d squandered it.

But she added that she believes that she did the right thing, and that part of the code of conduct was to be clever and cost-effective.

The decision to fire her flies in the face of the official advice from NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant who was questioned about the incident.

The vaccine was going to be thrown out anyhow, so did it matter? At least it went on somebody that needed it. Slap her on the wrist, but don’t fire her, and rather than wasting this vaccine, there should be a call out for all those waiting for the jab to go in and get one, but don’t throw them out.

It’s absurd that this woman has been given the sack, and rather than just tossing them out, they should have put information out on social media to see if anyone wants a jab that day rather than waste them.

But at the end of the day, this woman did take dangerous drugs, and what if those children had an unfavourable reaction and perhaps life-threatening, but she just didn’t want them wasted, and it would have been a waste of a vaccine and the money it costs.

And let’s face it, Governments keep telling us there’s a shortage of the vaccine, so why bin three doses? Especially when the government are seeking to resource as many vaccines as possible.

Britain’s COVID Booster Vaccine Drive Will Start Next Month

It was claimed that COVID booster vaccines will be extended to 32 million Britons next month.

The over 50s and immunosuppressed people, along with NHS and care home staff will be offered third doses from as soon as September 6.

Ministers hope that the vaccines will be offered at up to 2,000 pharmacies, with the goal of 2.5 million per week, and they will be dished out at the same time as flu jabs.

A newspaper outlet reported that No 10 was intending to get the most vulnerable groups jabbed by mid-December, so the vaccine has at least a fortnight to kick in before Christmas.

All eligible adults are expected to get a dose of Pfizer, regardless of which vaccine they got for their first two doses.

The latest data from Public Health England suggests the Pfizer shot is somewhat more effective against the Indian Delta strain, which could encourage the Government to adopt the mix and match approach.

But Department of Health bosses have yet to establish any official details of the UK’s booster scheme, with ministers waiting on final information from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

The JCVI set out interim advice on the booster programme in June, advising that, if required, the booster programme should start in September.

They said that third jabs should first be given to over 70s, over 16s who are immunosuppressed or extremely vulnerable, those living in care homes and frontline health and social care workers.

The JCVI advised that in a second stage, the boosters should be given to remaining over 50s, over 16s who are at risk from the flu or COVID and those living with immunosuppressed people.

The scientists said their final advice may vary considerably and will depend on developing data, including on how long protection lasts from two jabs.

The final recommendation from the experts is expected in the coming weeks, but a Government source told a newspaper outlet the plan was to give flu and COVID boosters at the same time in different arms but that it would depend on final JCVI guidance and coronavirus vaccine booster trials.

The source said that ministers are hoping to increase the record number of jabs given in a single day through the programme, which stands at 873,784 given on March 20.

Immunity obtained from COVID jabs lasts for at least six months in the majority of cases, and what will happen to all the double jabbed who don’t go for a booster?

So, now we have the fully vaccinated, which in some cases has caused dangerous blood clotting. Not to forget that the UK Government rushed to vaccinate their population and disregarded the manufacturer’s suggested timeframe to administer the second dose.

Now we have boosters, and if you don’t have the jab, then you have no job – it’s a never-ending cycle, and you don’t have to delve too deeply to realise that the real underlying problem with the so-called vaccines is that they leave their host far more susceptible to other strains as the effectiveness of the jab wears off.

And there’s never been a vaccine that works over the long term as they all make the host more vulnerable with each dose, not straight away, of course, just when their effectiveness begins to wane.

In other words, once you’ve had one, you’ll need another, and then a booster, and another and so on until your immune system is weak or just attacks the body instead of the virus. This is why it’s already being said that this winter as many as 30 per cent will die with a new wave, and they know what these vaccines do and they also know that through coercion and fear-mongering they’ve talked the masses into poisoning themselves in a vile mass experiment.

Donald Trump Due A $1 Million Tax Refund

Donald Trump is due a $1 million tax refund on his controversial Chicago skyscraper, but state attorney Kim Foxx’s office is attempting to prevent him from getting it.

The billionaire ex-president is in line to get a windfall after the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board voted 5-0 to refund the amount levied on the Trump International Hotel and Tower’s commercial units for the 2011 tax year.

About $540,000 of that money will be redirected from Chicago’s public schools to pay Donald Trump.

His lawyers had previously argued that he was paying too much tax on the 98-floor building because he couldn’t obtain tenants to fill the tower’s commercial units, indicating they’d been overvalued.

Previous efforts to claw back tax failed because assessors insisted the vacant retail units added contributory value to the building and should be taxed as if they were occupied.

The Appeals Board has now sided with him, with the money that Donald Trump is owed coming out of a public kitty that pays for the Windy City’s public schools, and other government services.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the city’s schools would lose the biggest chunk of cash to Donald Trump, an estimated $540,000.

Cook County State Attorney’s office, led by well-known prosecutor Kim Foxx, has objected to the proposed settlement and is now attempting to hinder it.

Lawyers working for the office filed a suit with the Illinois Appellate Court in the hopes of blocking it.

The controversy is the latest episode in a long-running legal dispute over Donald Trump’s tax bills that began more than 12 years ago and has led to more than $14 million in tax breaks for Trump.

It also involves not only a former president who’s amid a multitude of legal actions but a Chicago alderman whose own legal problems has been making headlines in Chicago for months.

Alderman Edward M Burke, whose former law firm, Klafter & Burke, won the tax breaks for Donald Trump, has been indicted on federal charges that he blocked businesses from getting city permits unless they hired the firm. He’s pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

The dispute over the tax bills on the high rise building has its own long history.

Originally, the state agency rejected Donald Trump’s argument that the vacant stores had no value because he couldn’t get any tenants to lease them.

A hearing officer for the state agency rejected Donald Trump’s argument that the unoccupied stores at the building had no value because he couldn’t leave them, but a staff member later wrote a report that Donald Trump was entitled to the refund.

Pulling the funds from a school budget isn’t the greatest idea, although I guess it is if you want to make Donald Trump look bad it’s the best way to go. Still, he has zero control of where the funds are found.

What they should be doing is taking the money from wasted bureaucratic spending – lunches, flights and raises, rather than taking it from children, but now they’re robbing it from Peter to pay Paul, or should I say, vulnerable school children, and I do hope that Donald Trump donates some of that money to these school children, who need it far more than he does.

But I’m sure there are numerous people out there that have been waiting for their tax refund for months, and they could be saying the same thing: ‘It’s my money, give it back to me!’

And let’s face it Donald Trump managed to lower his taxes over the years by reporting substantial losses on his businesses, and this one isn’t much different, and after the success of The Apprentice TV show he did initially pay significant taxes, $95 million over 18 years, but then he later got most of that back via a $72.9 million federal tax refund, although those funds were under review.

See the pattern forming here?

What Did Maggie Thatcher Really Think Of Her Great Friend Ronald Reagan?

While on the campaign trail at a Kent funfair before the 1950 election, a 24-year-old Margaret Roberts, later to become Britain’s first female Prime Minister, stopped at a booth to meet a fortune teller.

The future Margaret Thatcher was told that she would be great, as great as Winston Churchill, and it was a comparison that would be drawn numerous times in the decades to come.

Indeed, she would be equated to him in a way no other Prime Minister had ever been, before and since, and like his own time in office, hers was to alter the face of British politics.

It would also see an obvious flowering of the unique bond between Britain and the US, with Margaret Thatcher and her opposite number in the White House, Ronald Reagan joined in their devotion to the victorious wartime leader.

‘Churchillian rhetoric’, the historian Richard Aldous wrote, became a constant and well-choreographed feature of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher’s shared public performance.

Ronald Reagan hung a poster of Winston Churchill in the White House and filled his administration with devotees of the great man.

Both the US president and Margaret Thatcher had lived through the Second World War.

When it started, she was a schoolgirl and he was already a Hollywood star, if not quite of the first rank.

As a youngster, she’d been a regular cinema-goer and probably remembered Ronald Reagan in Dark Victory, the Bette Davis weepie that had once been Winston Churchill’s rather bizarre choice to show to the typists and servants at 10 Downing Street.

After Ronald Reagan’s passing, the veteran English journalist Sir Harold Evans would claim that the bond between him and Margaret Thatcher was closer even than that of Winston Churchill and Roosevelt, but this was far from the case.

Although she liked Ronald Reagan personally and shared his free market and anti-Communist beliefs, Margaret Thatcher had no illusions about the man who declared, somewhat bafflingly, during his presidential inauguration address: ‘To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I’ve just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world’s strongest economy.’

Not long after, Margaret Thatcher and Lord Peter Carrington, her Foreign Secretary, were talking in Downing Street, when the conversation shifted to the new president. ‘Peter,’ she said, tapping the side of her head, ‘there’s nothing there.’

Relations between the two heirs of Churchill on either side of the Atlantic were soon to become seriously strained, and inside two years of sweeping to power in 1979, all was not well for Margaret Thatcher, with unemployment and civil unrest growing, while phalanxes of economists had criticised her fiscal policies, but exactly as it had happened for the then unpopular Winston Churchill 40 years before, events came quickly to her rescue.

And it seems that several people wish that these two political colossi were running things in the country now, but why would anyone miss the mass unemployment, the war over a tiny island, and the never-ending troubles in Northern Ireland, and I’m sure she would have made everyone get their jab whether they wanted to or not.

Although we could do with a politician of substantial character now, instead we have batty Boris Johnson over here in England and Jello Joe Biden who appears to be utterly clueless on where he puts his underpants most of the time.

But of course, Ronald Reagan was a rather good president. He sorted out the oil disaster and double-digit inflation caused by Jimmy Carter’s administration, he also built the US economy and ended the Cold War, so let’s hope that somewhere out there in the US there’s another person with Reagan’s intestinal determination that can save the US from the damage that’s been sown by former president’s – at the moment, all they have are half-pints in Congress.

Wonder Drug Is Life-Saving Against COVID

GPs and MPs have welcomed a life-saving wonder drug being used to treat COVID.

The steroid Dexamethasone is frequently prescribed to at home COVID patients to prevent them from needing hospital treatment, and MPs have called on the health service to look into more at-home use of the drug to further cut cases of severe illness from COVID.

The steroid, which decreases the amount of damage in the lungs, has been mostly used in hospitals, reducing patient’s need for ventilators, and a study by NHS England earlier this year concluded that the steroid has saved at least 22,000 lives in the United Kingdom and a million globally.

It’s been hailed as proof that combined with vaccines, improved treatment means it no longer poses the same threat, and one GP prescribing it for at-home use said that it saves lives. It works and it makes sense to give it to more people to prevent them from being severely sick.

Conservative MP Neil O’Brien said that the use of Dexamethasone to treat COVID was a huge success, and one of the real bright spots of the past year, and he added the treatment breakthrough was one of the greatest British contributions to the work on the pandemic, and it was wonderful to find something that was affordable and worked.

The discovery of the treatment came after an Oxford University study of over 2,000 NHS COVID patients who were given a course of the drug over ten days.

For patients who were ill enough to need oxygen, the risk of dying dropped by a fifth, and for the most seriously sick patients on mechanical ventilators, the risk of dying decreased by over a third.

James Cartlidge, the Tory MP for South Suffolk, also praised the incredible development and said the Government should continue to give it every support.

He said that in the long run it was the most important thing and that was an underrated part of the clinical breakthrough that’s been made.

The Department of Health’s Therapeutic Taskforce spearheaded the work into the treatment, and in April this year, a new Antivirals Taskforce was created to focus on making new oral antiviral drugs available to COVID patients.

The use of Dexamethasone for patients who need oxygen is now standard care in NHS hospitals, and NHS England said Dexamethasone wasn’t routinely prescribed for COVID patients at home, in line with current guidance.

However, it needs to be fast-tracked for wider use if it’s that effective. It’s affordable and it improves the 28-day mortality if a person’s reached the point where they require oxygen, but it also has some interesting side effects and is probably best reserved for a hospital setting.

So, this treatment will keep hospital admissions down and it will be made to look like the vaccines are working, and sadly the NHS has not been treating patients properly or way too late, frequently telling people to go home to deal with it themselves.

Some people were prescribed nothing and given no advice, even those that had recently had some kind of surgery not relating to COVID, and then when they did have to go to the hospital, some were given DNRs and were finished off with morphine.

It’s just pitiful to see these things going on, and it’s occurring every day, everywhere and it needs to change, and doctors need to advise people, but it seems to be very much down to the person’s own research.
