Not one of the people involved in the official institutions or charities: speech,mental health, disability, young carers, doesn’t matter who they were supposed to act for, none of them defended or fought for the young people they represented. They stayed silent when their voices mattered and allowed irreparable damage to be done to the vulnerable. Now after the event they speak up and blame the “pandemic/covid, what good is it now? The damage has been done by their inaction not the invisible virus.

''They stayed silent when their voices mattered and allowed irreparable damage to be done to the vulnerable''

Exactly. It's basically those who were ''just following orders'' being interviewed about the harms of those orders and being portrayed as the selfless good guys as ''the pandemic'' made them do it...but they MUST HAVE known following these rules was wrong at the time. It's equally astonishing the lack of outcry about all this from the popular ''alt'' media ''freedom'' movements.

All of the inquiry testimonies reinforce the pandemic narrative as being the cause of the damage. Every single one of the testimonies repeat “because of the pandemic” and it will be kept for history to see what unfortunate measures had to be taken to control the “pandemic” of 2020. Challenging the “pandemic” is verboten, so the “freedom” movements ignore it.

Yes and at the same time the lie of 'the pandemic' is nevermore exposed than at the Scottish inquiry which the ''alt'' media and ''freedom'' movements should be having a field day with but instead, nothing. THAT is the biggest failure of the last 4 years!

Same thing happened with the inquiry in Canada. The most heart-wrenching and eye opening testimonies were largely ignored. We're constantly being distracted by stuff that doesn't matter: celebrities, self-appointed kings and queens and politics.

The big difference between the two inquiries though is the Scottish one is the world's only OFFICIAL COVID inquiry to reveal the truth. ''Alt'' media barely even touch it. https://biologyphenom.substack.com/p/newwhat-happened-in-scottish-care

Thank you for clearing that up. I wonder why that is. We should have momentum. Recently in Germany 2000+ pages were leaked in the RKI (German CDC) that clearly show it was a fraud from start to sudden death. Big names are mentioned in those documents, not just in Germany but Internationally. Not a lot of alt media touch that either. Are people tired or distracted? Can they not see the importance? Have they lost hope or simply do not know what to do with this information? I don't know what to do either, other than inform as many people as possible. Going to police has proven to be useless.

If the truth is told in a dark soundproofed barrel, because the MSM have been quietly nobbled, then the authorities get off Scot-free, don't they?

Is it worth cooking up a campaign to get the Herald or Scottish Daily Fail to cover it?

Charities and universities have almost all been 'captured' by government and/or pharma money.

You see that clear as day when you watch the third sector testimonies. It's all business to them.

Turkeys are not normally known for their joyous celebration of Xmas, are they?

I absolutely agree that they were mostly notable by their silence. As a parent, I fought like a cat in a sack against lockdown. But they are nearly all funded by government, so their options were limited - if you wanted the funding to continue, you followed the Nicola line.

For them to STILL be doing it in 2024 not even the avoidable suffering and death of children can get them to grow a backbone is unforgivable.

Oh, some of them were even promoting vaccine take-up in their social media - I saw red and took up a formal complaint against one of them - they are supposed to support people, not sell dangerous drugs.

Speech therapists talk a good game, but much like many other therapies, its very difficult to prove it works. My son (now an adult, who has Downs Syndrome) was assigned speech therapy, but we were not particularly impressed by them: and believe that it made no difference to the outcome.

Two reasons:

Firstly many of them come with a toolkit of learned notions about 'doing good for children with disabilities, but each child is unique, and all of these preferred therapeutic techniques, being one-to-one, are insanely expensive per session. The main benefit -if any - may simply be the personal interaction with an adult. So, a lot depends on that therapists individual personality and whether or not the child is willing and able to respond appropriately.

Secondly, lets explore 'Opportunity cost'.

Taking a child out of class or the playground means that they are losing the chance in that timeslot to learn communication skills the way that most children do, Peer to Peer, partly through play and banter.

That benefit of normal childhood Peer to Peer learning is one reason why I insisted that my son always attended mainstream school settings - he had the benefit of 'normal' role models to learn from, not adults, or children with speech problems. He can now speak and communicate fairly well, and his speech is clear and his comprehension good.

Conclusion: I have yet to see a single, conclusive, large scale double blind research study showing that Speech therapy benefits most children like mine MORE than inclusion in a mainstream school setting . I suspect that they just talk a good game in most cases and are seen to be 'doing something good ' ! ;-)

Well, being a bit of an 'old-school' luvvie (actor) myself I actually paid for my son to receive weekly, one-hour, after school private 'speech and elocution' lessons from a lovely elderly retired teacher of speech and drama - who charged minimum wage. She was lovely, and my son did enjoy and benefit from the old fashioned 'The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly on The Plain' approach.
