This is a very interesting and important piece. Thank you for sharing this.
I have lost my respect for Ken Clark. Shameful. People must be held to account.
Wow: slow walking keeps politicians clean from the serious responsibilities their job carries. Grenfell, "Smart" motorway, privatising water .....
So sad 😞

This is going to look like really small potatoes when the truth about the harm done by mRNA vaccines finally emerges. Let's hope it takes a lot less than 50 years to come out.
I am victim of this scandal and was in hospital when I was a child from contracting jaundice. ⚡️🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
