An A&E Nightmare That Exposes the NHS as Anything But the ?Envy of the World? Mon Dec 15, 2025 20:00 | Shane McEvoy

The Covid Inquiry is Instantiating Lies That Make it Worse Than No Inquiry At All Mon Dec 15, 2025 17:53 | Will Adie
The Covid Inquiry has allowed itself to degenerate into a cudgel to flog the Tory government of Boris Johnson. But an inquiry that instantiates a lie is worse than no inquiry at all, says Will Adie.

As he entered Downing Street, Keir Starmer told us he would "tread more lightly" on our lives. In 18 months Labour has gone from merely lying to bullshitting, losing all attachment to reality, says Sean Walsh.

Jump To Comment: 3 2 11) Could it be that much of the bullying and abuse (physical and psychological) in daily life is trickling down from a so called "higher" social source? - and from people who are in a position to set a good example, but who, at the present time, are doing the exact opposite?
2) Why are public officials being allowed to keep on abusing their powers and their positions in the ways that they are: when there are numerous laws already in place to prevent them from doing so?
3) "So may the outward shows be least themselves:
The world is still deceived with ornament.
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt,
But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil?"
"In religion,
What damned error, but some sober brow
Will bless it and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?"
"There is no vice so simple but assumes
Some mark of virtue on his outward parts:
How many cowards, whose hearts are all as false
As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins
The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars;
Who, inward search'd, have livers white as milk;
And these assume but valour's excrement
To render them redoubted! "
Merchant of Venice (1597 A.D.)

There is at least one report in circulation on the Internet which suggests that when people living in the 1600s wanted to make Cromwell look good, all they had to do was compare him to Sir Frederick Hamilton (1590-1647).
A brief outline account - using his own words - of how colonist Sir Frederick Hamilton treated people in Ireland during the 1600s can be found at the following page location:

A short outline of the origins of global colonisation in 1500s Europe can also be found at the above address.
When the term "global colonisation" is reduced to "globalisation" (in its present form and meaning), it may look to some as though human history is repeating itself in one of its ugliest, most destructive, and wasteful of ways?
Is the physical abuse of people in Iraq of the 2000s (for example) that much different to Ireland of the 1600s?
Have the leaders of the master-criminal clique of western tyrants already successfully hi-jacked the law for themselves on an international basis, for the purpose of implementing and supporting their tyranny globally; and, if so, will the democratically minded people of the world ever be able to take the law back off them - now that this particular hi-jack appears to be so far advanced?
A selection of leaders, and observers, were informed yesterday (i.e. May 4th 2006) regarding the "Constitutional first-aid" situation.
