WHEN WILL THIS RAPID RISE IN COVID DEATHS BECOME MAINSTREAM NEWS?

 My blogpost last week sounded an alert - press this link to read the story.

Each day that passes, I watch the TV news on BBC and Channel 4 and I read my newspapers and I wait for the coverage. In vain, so far.

Covid testing is in decline - why?

Let me bring you up-to-date with the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), and provide some context:

The media is full of news that echoes the message from national government - we are on the way out of the Omicron coronavirus crisis. The few politicians left supporting the PM are citing as evidence for the

THE LABOUR PARTY IS UNFIT FOR OFFICE TOO - WHAT A MESS WE ARE IN - TIME FOR THAT NEW PARTY, FOLKS!

 

n Exclusive: Labour’s data breach means local parties not receiving their owed funds

Party’s outsourcing and subsequent loss of data to criminals is hitting local parties in their bank accounts

JUST IN CASE YOU ARE NOT UP TO SPEED ON THIS - AFTER ALL, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS NOT EXACTLY KEEPING YOU INFORMED - HERE'S THE SKWAWKBOX ANALYSIS:  

'Labour’s outsourcing of its membership system to private contractor Tangent led to a massive data breach in which the sensitive data of hundreds of thousands of members – and, scandalously, ex-members including victims of the purge of left members and councillors – was stolen by criminals. This appears

BREAKING NEWS!!! - ONLY IT'S NOT BEING COVERED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA (MSM)

ALERT!!! THE BREAKING NEWS STORY IS TOWARDS THE END OF THIS POST. Find out there about the story that is not being covered by the MSM. 

The real world of SARS-CoV-2 

The MSM did give the odd paragraph to the headline story in the Morning Star on 1 December, 2021:

'TORIES' COVID MISCONDUCT'.

This was an article about the report issued by The People's Covid Inquiry, chaired by the human rights barrister Michael Mansfield QC. Here are his words:

'... a theme of behaviour amounting to gross negligence by the government ... There were lives lost and lives devastated, which was foreseeable and preventable. From lack of preparation and coherent policy, unconscionable delay, through to preferred and wasteful procurement, to ministers themselves breaking the rules, the misconduct is earth-shattering.'

The fact remains, however, that the earth in the UK has hardly moved. Most people still don't get it. This man, Johnson, and this Tory government of his choosing, are responsible for the spread of the coronavirus in the UK (see my nearly 100 blogposts since February 2020).

A policy of herd immunity has been pursued by Johnson since his lack of action allowed the virus to

JEREMIAH RETURNS TO HERALD THE NEW YEAR - AND LAMENT ONCE AGAIN OUR MISGOVERNMENT

 It really is very simple. This Johnson government is determined to put the pursuit of profit before the health of the nation. The lives of British citizens are being sacrificed on the altar of greed. Over 173,000 have ended their life journey prematurely. Millions will be suffering the effects of  Long Covid for who knows how long. 

Johnson and his cabinet - my thanks to Sky News for this image - qualification for membership of the cabinet club: toeing the line.

Yesterday's figures from the Office of National Statistics showed that the national 7-day average of new cases of Sars-CoV-2 had reached over 180,000. On 21 December last year, just before Christmas, the comparative figure for new cases was 90,629. Yes, Johnson's decisions meant you could have the

THE REAL WORLD OF SKWAWKBOX - THE ONE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOESN'T TELL YOU ABOUT

These twelve news stories all surfaced, if you're in touch with SKWAWKBOX, in the last three months of 2021:

Skwawkbox continues to serve its readers and the left

In a bleak UK political landscape that has no parliamentary alternative worth recommending to the people of this country, exposing truth is as essential as it was during the Corbyn years – and perhaps even more so, as the right continues both its rewriting of history and its assault on democracy and human rights, tragically within the Labour party as well as without. With the so-called ‘mainstream’ media colluding with the Labour right to either cover up or excuse – and the right always ready to plumb new depths in its factional war – the left media have been forced to do the job of revealing the conduct of the right as well as that of the Tories.

Skwawkbox thanks its readers for their continued support in that endeavour. Below are just twelve examples from the last three months – out of many more in that period and during the
