Very odd - but the lack of MSM coverage of the Scottish Inquiry is gradually become as big a story as the Inquiry itself - 'Omerta' appears to be the rule.

That'd be a good header for a future article on the media/state relationship over all this. Omerta. ;-)

It's in the memory bank now Rob, cheers.

Funnily enough I was waiting at the barbers today for my usual haircut, and chanced on a paper copy of www.thelightpaper.co.uk promoting your work - so at least it isn't in vain! The covid stuff was good, there's a lot of other nonsense in the paper that made me chuckle, though ;-)

In France, censorship is just as strong. A Covid parliamentary enquiry has also taken place here, but strangely not all the hearings have been transcribed. The media are muzzled. On social networks, the accounts of those who express themselves on these subjects are closed. You have to be mobile to continue to denounce it. I don't know if Neil Oliver reads us here. The message I might have for him is this : I myself am a journalist in France. In January 2023, Jean Pierre, my 59-year-old "loved one" suffering from multiple sclerosis, was euthanised without consent on the pretext of a bogus Covid (no symptoms, Ct 36.7 refusal of transfer to neurology, ruled DANR without our knowledge). I actively investigated. In France, reality is beyond imagination. It wasn't just the Rivotril decree. The ARS had 20% concentrated KCl added to emergency trolleys in retirement homes. I am in a position to tell Neil Oliver that everything said at the Scottish Covid Inquiry hearings is true and credible.

Thanks for sharing Valerie. Neil interviews people all the time on his youtube channel so i'd like to think he'd be very interested in what you have to say.

The news announcer, Polly Middlehurst, on GBN used to say " the people's channel" when she finished the report. No longer said in any of their news announcements. GBN now kow tows to OFCOM....it has no real independence as a news channel. The likes of Oliver won't be 'welcomed' as a presence for much longer unless he 'non speaks' about the issues that really matter to the viewer on the subject of lock down harms, care home ( unnecessary) deaths, jab fatalities etc. Steyn went because he kept such topics in the 'headlights' so to speak.

It was always just another cog in the machine for me and i don't watch much (thanks for Middlehurst comment) but Mark was a breath of fresh air and Neil broke new ground covering the Scots COVID inquiry when all other media have CHOSEN to ignore it which is a disgrace!

I hadn't realised he had already covered the Inquiry ( so apologies to Mr Oliver for a comment I made on another posting). He was passionate in his rejection of the lockdowns way back in 2020...as a father of teenagers (I think) he could see what the future was going to hold for them. Credit to him for continuing to push back as hard as possible.

You can see all the shows GBN Neil Oliver featuring Scots COVID inquiry on my substack. If he could just round it all off with a decent video on the health and social care hearings closing statements that would be job done!

Thanks...will look them up. Yes...a summary video from Oliver would be good.

The GBNews fallacy continues unabated as their slavish reporting via the OFCOM ideology. All part of the plan no doubt.

Hi Pamela, Neil has no excuse not to speak about Scottish COVID inquiry health and social care hearings closing statements on his youtube channel though. Perhaps he will but you can see over time how he has been constrained by GBN and since they got new producers to replace the one i worked with to arrange some of the shows my emails since are all ignored.

I never managed to get a reply from anyone on gbnews. I think you have superskills to even get as fasr as you did tbh . still, it is no surprise that very rich people get to tell everyone what to do. the question is how do ethics stand up to plutocracy ??

Thanks. If god is with you who can be against you? Divine intervention. This is not over, lots more going on!!

To big a risk Dave sadly no many are willing to take .

GBN always struck me as ConOp.

Here's the thing though. They took me at face value when i contacted them over Scottish COVID inquiry when all other msm outlets including 'alternative' refused and then i managed to get a few shows completed. Over time new producers arrived and since then have ignored my emails like the rest of the msm and 99% of the 'alt'. I think perhaps there were some decent folks involved in GBN early days but they look to be gone now and agree the vast majority of stuff i've ever seen on the platform was conop stuff.

Well done for trying .. we cant exactly complain about the realities of life .. but we can strategise ways around it . Rich people own the media and everything else really .
