1. I have opposed the use of cigarettes since the early 1950s when I first became aware of the dangers. (I actually bought the first report on smoking from the Royal College of Physicians). But I am appalled by the fact that Britain has banned the sale of cigarettes to anyone born in or after 2009. Once politicians start introducing such precise legislation to control our behaviour we are on the route to dictatorship, social credit, a digital society and all the invisible joys of communism.
2. Following the success of the legislation controlling the purchase of cigarettes, politicians will doubtless be looking at a ban on food. After all, there is no doubt that eating food is responsible for many illnesses and deaths. `Preventing the sale of food will dramatically reduce the incidence of heart disease,’ has said Abit Bloted, the Shadow Minister.
3. I have total contempt for the strutting, preening, overpaid staff of the BBC. They are woefully ignorant and incredibly arrogant but it is their cowardice which I find particularly unpleasant. They do not have the courage to defend their nonsensical notions (on vaccination for example) because they know they will lose any debate.
4. I’m not allowed to tell you this (and you’re probably not allowed to know it, so avert your eyes) but every year hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of white English folk are leaving England forever – and taking up residence elsewhere. High taxes, terrible transport, no health care, awful schools and an absurd, unique obsession with net zero mean that England has no future. Who is going? Most are taxpayers with good skills who can work anywhere and who see no future in the country which their parents and their grandparents called home. England will never recover from this mass exodus. The people who are leaving are the backbone of the country and they are being replaced by armies of immigrants who are attracted by the free money. As always none of this is happening by accident.
5. It’s three years since I first warned that inflation and interest rates were going up, up and away. And despite reassurances from politicians everywhere, I don’t think the end is anywhere near. Inflation is not under control and interest rates will not go down to the low levels many people regard as normal. We all have to get used to economies which have been deliberately destroyed. (If you don’t know why and what is planned then please read my books `They want your money and your life’ and `Their Terrifying Plan’ which will tell you everything you must know. Both books are available as eBooks and as paperbacks via the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com.
6. The American Government’s debt is on course to reach $40 trillion by the end of the year. It will have doubled in just seven years.
7. A chum with a Mossad contact has confirmed to me that the attack on October 7th 2023 was a False Flag. Watch my video entitled `Why Israel Really Invaded Gaza’ to find out what was behind the False Flag attack.
8. All 15 books in The Young Country Doctor series (all set in the village of Bilbury in Devon, England) are available as paperbacks and as eBooks through the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com
9. I always much preferred radio to television and I suppose I ought to do podcasts rather than videos. I do not, however, have the foggiest idea how to make a podcast. Nearly a decade ago I bought several books about podcasting but they all made it sound very complicated and I gave up the idea. When the covid scam started we made videos every day for many months before we slowed down, exhausted. Now we produce videos occasionally when an especially important topic comes along. But I put stuff up on my website almost every day.
10. We can and will win this war against corruption, deceit, oppression and communism. We must. There is no alternative.
11. Isn’t it strange how many of the people offering advice on health matters still have videos showing on YouTube. I don’t trust anyone who offers health advice but still has a YouTube account.
12. Millennials and members of the Z generation are like apartment cats. They have never experienced freedom, have no idea what it is like and are terrified of the very idea. They have been perfectly prepared by the conspirators for a future in which they will be obedient and compliant slaves.
13. During the lockdowns at the beginning of the covid hoax, governments boasted that killing off thousands of elderly citizens had saved them billions of dollars/pounds. To their eternal discredit, no politician and no one with a voice in the mainstream media spoke up and said: `What the hell is going on?’
14. Dr Joan Magee, a gynaecologist, once suggested that male medical students should be placed in stirrups and remain there while a strange female doctor came up to them, squeezed their balls and then left without saying a word. The suggestion, not entirely unreasonable, was that this might make them better and more caring doctors when dealing with women requiring an intimate physical examination.
15. The resurrection of the idea that all Britons should be issued with identity cards comes as no surprise. And the proposal that this will help halt immigration is an obvious piece of political manipulation. But the new identity cards will not consist of a scruffy piece of cardboard, they will be digital. We will become forever entombed within the belly of the beast. How long before those advocating ID cards are suggesting that we all have numbers tattooed on our forearms so that we can be easily identified – dead or alive? Identity cards are an essential part of the process leading us up into the world of social credit. And if you want to know what your life will be like when social credit has been introduced, please read my book `Social Credit: Nightmare on Your Street’ which can be purchased via the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com
16. I’ve just received a `letter’ from Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, asking me how I voted in the June 2017 General Election. Whatever happened to the idea that voting is a confidential process? I felt of shiver of fear run down my spine when I opened Sunak’s letter which was, I think, the first communication I’ve received from a war criminal. (I don’t think I ever received anything from Lord Blair, the Smarmy Duke of Lies.)
17. I hear that an actress is going to play Richard III on the stage. How wonderful. I have no idea whether or not she has a hump. (One hump or two?) I look forward to hearing that an actor is going to play Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. And let’s hope there will be a director brave enough to cast a white actor as Martin Luther King. Maybe a cow can play Noddy. And one of Saturn’s rings could be cast as the Man in the Moon. I think I’ll make it a rule that whenever a theatre company performs my theatrical version of `Mrs Caldicot’s Cabbage War’ then an `older’, white, heterosexual woman must play Mrs Caldicot. Am I allowed to do that? Probably not.
18. Did I mention that all fifteen of my books about Bilbury (The Young Country Doctor – books 1 to 15) are available as paperbacks and as eBooks from the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com ? The books, set in an English village in the 1970s, offer unabashed nostalgia and old fashioned escapist entertainment. Plus lots of medical stories.
19. The climate change fraudsters really need to get their story straight. Last year they told us the summer was the sunniest and the hottest there had ever been in the whole history of the entire world. Now they are telling us that the last 18 months have been the wettest there has ever been in the whole history of the entire world.
20. Sir Ramick Hobbs reports that the average fact-checker is 16-years-old, has no academic qualifications or research experience and earns $152,000 a year.

Surprising Truths about Naprosyn
Naprosyn aka Naproxen is still regarded by some doctors as a wonder drug. Bizarrely, it was recently listed as one of four drugs which can slightly reduce your chances of dying. The argument in favour of Naprosyn is that although it can cause a stroke, internal bleeding or a heart attack it lowers inflammation in the body – which might help protect against cancer and heart disease. BUT a similar lowering of inflammation can be achieved with tiny doses of aspirin.
The following essay about Naprosyn is taken from my book The Medicine Men which was first published in 1975 but which is now available again as a paperback – available via the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com
Naprosyn/Naproxen
It is illuminating to study the ways different drugs currently being prescribed, have been promoted. To provide some idea of precisely how a new drug is promoted and how a promotional campaign can fail to provide the doctor (or the patient) with a fair account of the drug's possible uses, I followed the launch of Naprosyn in Britain by the company Syntex. The drug is marketed in other countries under variations on the name naproxen, its generic name.
To judge the size and expense of the launch it is interesting to note that when I wrote to Syntex for details, instead of sending me a data card (which I did not get despite the new ruling which demands that all doctors should receive a data card) they sent me three expensively produced books about the product, one of 28 pages, one of 57 pages and one of 181 pages. As far as I could make out from all the information I was sent, no trials had been performed in general practice, but despite that fact Naprosyn was advertised to general practitioners as well as to specialist rheumatologists.
In some of the principal trials Naprosyn was merely given to a group of patients and was not compared with other drugs at all. In one of these trials forty-nine patients took the drug to begin with but at the end of the trial only thirty-eight were still taking it. In a few trials Naprosyn was compared with other drugs. In one of these trials out of fifty patients only forty-one stayed in the trial until the end.
In one of the expensively produced brochures about the drug (which was very widely advertised in most of the medical journals) there is a copy of a paper entitled, 'Comparative effects of aspirin and Naprosyn on gastric mucosa' written by three physicians from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. For the research on which this paper was based, only twelve patients were used. In another trial, only six patients were used. This trial, performed by two doctors at a hospital in Milan, was published in the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology in 1973.
So much for the basic information about Naprosyn. Another point of interest is that the drug was effectively advertised to the general public, when in fact no ethical pharmaceuticals should be so advertised. The way this happened was that the drug was launched and described at a public press conference where medical journalists were given information about the drug at about the same time that doctors were learning about it. One result of this publicity campaign was that on a popular daily national radio programme a science correspondent of the BBC and a disc-jockey (neither of whom pretended to have or had any medical training at all) discussed the drug which was spelt out and praised. In the words of one commentator: 'Its virtues were extolled; its toxicity minimised; its dosage enunciated; and the name of the company making it was announced.' Listeners were even advised to go to their family doctor and to ask him for the drug (which could only be obtained with a prescription). Later the medical director of the manufacturers was reported as having said that 'one man has been in bed for three months and after taking the drug he was able to get up and walk to his workshop.' When reported in a newspaper this only made matters worse.
There was, needless to say, an immediate wide demand for the drug. Many patients rushed to see their doctor; and doctors, being busy and under pressure all the time, frequently agreed to hand out the drug only to find later that they then had the difficult job of explaining to patients why they had not been cured.
When the BBC was severely criticised for the way it promoted Naprosyn the Director General (in 1974) failed to see the point of the critical comments and seemed to think that those who had made the criticisms were worrying unnecessarily. Complaints made about Syntex, however, did stick. Complaints were made by the British Medical Association and by a Scottish professor, and even by another drug company. In defence, Syntex claimed that the problems arose because of the great interest of the press and clinicians, suggesting that the drug was so marvellous that they couldn't hold back the enthusiastic support for it.
There was one interesting result of the attack. One medical journalist in a paper sponsored by advertisements wrote that the drug industry could claim credit for the incident as they had attacked the company involved. Which seems a rather roundabout way of trying to make friends and influence people.
A few months after the Naprosyn launch, side-effects started to show up. According to one newspaper report the Committee on Safety of Medicines had received thirty cases of possible side-effects by March 1974 (the drug was launched just before Christmas). The Committee receives an extremely low percentage of all reports of sideeffects so the total number seen by that time must have been considerably greater. About half the reports related to intestinal trouble.
The Committee, frightened lest they worry the many patients taking the drug, responded cautiously. According to one correspondent of a national daily newspaper, the Committee did not want 'a massive backlash which would frighten people who had taken the drug, upset doctors who had already prescribed it' and, politically perhaps the most important of all, according to the correspondent sour relations with the drug industry. I find it disturbing that at this stage the Committee should apparently be concerned about its own relations with the drug industry.
In the spring of 1974, letters from unhappy prescribers started to appear in the British Medical Journal. On March 23 there were two letters headed 'Naproxen (Naprosyn) and gastro-intestinal haemorrhage'. In these letters there were reports dealing with six patients. The first correspondent concluded: 'We feel therefore that naproxen, cannot be added to the short list of safe drugs ... but must be regarded as a potential gastric irritant.' The second correspondent wrote: 'These side-effects seem very similar to those known to have occurred with phenylbutazone and other anti-rheumatic drugs and perhaps indicate that new drugs should be used with caution.'
A later writer pointed out that he had seen 'gastro-intestinal in tolerance in six cases with three having gastro-intestinal haemorrhage, necessitating emergency hospital admission for blood transfusion in two cases'.
Syntex seemed unabashed though they modified their campaign slightly. A revised data sheet had to be produced and when in May I attended a film showing given by a Syntex representative, I watched a short slide show for several minutes while listening to a tape-recorded rheumatologist explain how important it is to make sure that any new drug should have less side-effects or be more efficient than drugs in use. The slide show did not mention Naprosyn and the drug was mentioned almost in passing by the representative, who merely pointed out that it satisfied all the criteria laid down in the film. In fact it did not seem to me to satisfy any of the criteria.
Naprosyn was promoted as a drug suitable for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. There are now many drugs being used for this condition.
In a March 1974 issue of Update, a magazine containing many advertisements and sent to the general practitioners in the United Kingdom as a commercial educational aid, there was an article entitled, 'Rheumatoid Arthritis and the General Practitioner'. It was pointed out by the author of the article that two per cent of the adult population show evidence of rheumatoid arthritis and then he went on to say 'aspirin remains, in my view, the least unsatisfactory of all drugs advocated'. He also wrote: 'The pharmaceutical industry has exploited the socalled anti-inflammatory property of certain other analgesics but insofar as it is of significance outside the laboratory this characteristic is possessed by aspirin as well'. The author of the article in Update also wrote: 'The list of other possible drugs grows longer, but the advantage over aspirin for most patients in general practice has still to be shown.'
Despite all this evidence (perhaps because the evidence is swamped with advertising material saying the opposite) doctors do prescribe the branded products by the ton. In a paper in the British Medical Journal in March 1974, it was reported that 125 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were asked what drugs their doctors had given them before referral to a hospital clinic and it was found that only 47 patients had received aspirin as the first drug, while 18 had not tried it at all.
