No Comments"The truth movement's over!" "The awake community's been destroyed by in-fighting!" "People need to get over their differences and unite if we're ever going to win!"

Then one day, he just collapsed! Helen was the one who found him. It was so traumatic for her, poor thing. And […]

No CommentsJust over seven months ago, I sent an open letter (co-signed by Vote Freedom Project's Jonathan Tilt) to former Conservative MP, Andrew Bridgen, regarding his recent apparent conversion to all things conspiratorial (a conversion I was, shall we say, less than convinced by...).

No Comments... along with a distinct sense of deja vu, as the headlines blare: "Child pneumonia cases surge in Europe, Netherlands the new victim." (source) "Pneumonia outbreak in children in US raises 'alarm'. Is it linked to China?" (source) And inevitably: "Fears Britain could be hit by own outbreak of China's 'mystery' pneumonia."

Julia's story was that she had been kidnapped as a young child, could not recall her earliest childhood, and had been a […]

No CommentsA few articles ago, I alluded to the fact that I had pilfered my article's title from another, far more contentious area of debate than the one I was covering on that particular occasion. And as the one I was covering on that particular occasion was one of the most tempestuously debated in all of […]
