Here are some facts for your consideration. First, Russia has a huge grain surplus. And too much fertiliser. Second, they can’t sell the stuff to the West because of stupid sanctions introduced by politicians with a yen for self-harming policies. Third, Africa is short of grain and fertiliser. Fourth, African countries received 3% of the Ukraine grain which Russia agreed to allow through in its now infamous deal with the West. (As I revealed some months ago, most of the Ukrainian grain intended for Africa was retained within the EU, with some fed to pigs in Spain, etc.) Fifth, the Ukraine war has created mass starvation in Africa and no one in the West gives a damn. Sixth, Russia is giving some of its excess grain to African countries. Seventh, African countries are very grateful and have fallen in love with Russia. Eighth, African countries are rich in many essential natural resources. Ninth, the US and the West are now stuffed.
Local councils are now emptying householders’ rubbish bins to see what is being thrown away. I am reminded of a pal who was heavily involved with animal rights (and not just shaking a collecting tin on Saturdays). The police used to pick up his weekly rubbish bags and go through them looking for evidence. (Rubbish was collected every week in those distant days.) My pal wanted to make life more interesting for the police so he used to shred all his paperwork and then add old coffee grounds, excess gravy and old soup to the bags. He also had two large dogs and he used to add their used food products to the mix. He would give the mixture a stir before collection day. When the police finally gave up he was negotiating for a supply of used nappies to add to the mix.
Delighted to see that the boss of Nat West bank fell on her sword eventually – though she took her time about it. Hopefully, by now the rest of the board will have gone too. But I haven’t heard that the BBC person who was responsible for the incorrect story has been fired or resigned. Still, I suppose that if the BBC got rid of every reporter who got a story wrong they’d have to sack them all wouldn’t they? Incidentally, it is my experience that bank confidentiality does not exist. Someone at a bank branch I visited recently gossiped about a transaction I made and it came back to me via the guy who unblocked our drains. Bank staff, like medical staff, seem to have forgotten what confidentiality means.
The BBC is apparently now claiming that the cold weather Britain had in July was a result of global warming. You have to give the climate change nutters full marks for sticking to their bizarre narrative, don’t you? Incidentally, the mainstream media keep announcing things like ‘63,476.5 people have died of the heat’. How do they know if someone dies of the heat? Maybe they had a bad heart? Or maybe they were given the covid-19 vaccine by a crazed doctor. Incidentally, I expect TV licence fee payers will be pleased to know that the BBC flew someone out to Spain so that he could tell viewers in England what it was like for people having to put up with nice weather. As I write, it is bucketing down. The Met Office website tells me that the weather is fine at the moment and that there is very little risk of rain so I don’t know what the wet stuff is or where it is coming from. Maybe heavenly plumbing has sprung a leak. These, of course, are the same experts who can tell me what the weather will be like in 50 years’ time.
I have warned Antoinette that if I become demented my personality may change. I may become kindly and understanding when talking to traffic wardens and climate change mythologists and understanding and gentle with pro-vaccine enthusiasts.
Doctors in Australia are reported to have refused to perform lung transplant surgery on a patient who hadn’t had four covid-19 vaccinations. I could weep. I really could weep. Don’t these damned doctors know how to read? For the millionth time, the covid jabs are toxic; they don’t do what they are supposed to and they kill people. Anyone still jabbing people with the covid-19 poison should be hung for murder.
A Nobel Prize Winner who wanted to speak about the ‘corruption’ of climate science found himself cancelled by the IMF. He and many other scientists have criticised climate change predictions because the predictions are based on mathematical predictions – and we all know how good they are. Useless mathematical predictions were used to create the fake covid pandemic scare. And now this pseudoscientific garbage is the basis for the fake climate change scare. The thousands of journalists, businessmen, politicians, civil servants and environmentalists who have jumped on the global warming bandwagon have three things in common: they are illiterate, they are innumerate and they are scare mongers. Most of them are paid to lie and deceive and they are (like the AIDS promoters) part of an immensely profitable industry. Meanwhile, the climate change nutters are claiming that July was the hottest month since last July and that the earth is now at boiling point. These people are wicked and insane and they need medical attention. We’ve had our central heating on for much of July. And I can’t remember that ever happening before. Even more frightening than these scare mongers, however, are the brainless, arrogant buffoons who believe they have a right to change the weather. Their utterly insane schemes will destroy the planet and everything on it and in the end they will be able to say: ‘See, there you are, man-made climate change has destroyed us all’. But it will have been the powders they’ve sprayed in the sky and not the car exhausts and the farting cows which will have done the damage.
BBC staff should watch RT (which is supposedly banned but can be seen on Bitchute) to learn how a balanced broadcaster operates.
The UK stopped a Ukrainian priest from giving evidence about war crimes to the UN security council. The UK has become a bad, bad country. Britain is now the sort of country all good people used to despise.
We need 5% of the people to reject digitalisation, compulsory vaccination, etc. If one in twenty people stay true to themselves, and defy the globalists, then we will succeed in retaining our humanity and our independence.
Electric cars which are just two-years-old are having to be fitted with completely new batteries because the original ones have worn out. The cost is phenomenal. And the cost to the environment of getting rid of all those useless batteries will be vast. Once again, the evidence shows that electric cars are a pointless fad and that the people who buy them are insane. My good friend Dr Colin Barron visited the Imperial War Museum the other day and discovered that after the end of World War II the nose section of Blenheim Mark 1 was converted into an electric car. The car, which looked like the nose section of a Blenheim Mark 1 converted to an electric car (which means it looked much more fun than the vehicles currently being turned out), was driven around Bristol until 1954. Colin has just written a book about electric cars which you MUST buy if you are even dreaming of contemplating buying one, or if you want to explain to someone who has bought one why they should have bought a proper car. The book is called Why I’ll never buy an electric car. There’s a kindle version available now and a paperback will be available shortly. Colin was kind enough to send me a proof copy of his new book and I can tell you it is absolutely excellent and essential reading.
In autumn 2022, the UK Government said that all patients would be able to see their GP within two weeks. It was, of course, another failure. (So far every single promise the UK government has made has been broken or abandoned.) Over 38 million patients have now waited longer than two weeks to see their GP. It’s time to close the NHS and abandon the experiment. If you’re at all interested in health care in general or the NHS in particular please read my book `NHS: What’s wrong and how to put it right’.
I have been warning for years that rental properties would become scarce and very expensive. Well, it has happened and rental properties are now almost as rare as mare’s nests. It was predictable because the loony left deliberately made life impossible for landlords. Lefties and neo liberals cheered wildly as new taxes and regulations made life increasingly expensive and pointless for anyone with a property to rent.
I was astonished to hear that the authorities are thinking of banning children from taking mobile phones to school. I was astonished because it never occurred to me that children would be allowed to take phones with them. Teachers are even more insane than I feared. No one under the age of 21 should be allowed to own a mobile phone or, indeed, any other device likely to be connected to the internet.
The conspirators’ plan is to chop down all the trees and make all buildings out of timber. This will make homes much more vulnerable to fire so that those people who are inside will burn and die. And since buildings will be crammed together in 15 minute cities, the flames will spread and kill millions. All this can then be blamed on global warming.
AI companies are promising all sorts of terrible things will happen. They’re talking rubbish. Computer companies always get things wrong. Most of the talk about AI is just science fiction. The real threat is far more mundane. AI will take millions of jobs if we let it. The science fiction garbage is just out there to frighten us and distract us. Don’t be frightened of AI. Just remember the Daleks couldn’t climb stairs.
The most missed, serious diagnosis today is probably Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. It is often mistaken for dementia. For details please look at my book When Dementia Can be Cured: 1 in 10 Dementia Patients have NPH and Could be Cured in Days.
Capital expenditure on fossil fuel production is down 30% since 2020. This is entirely due to the insane climate change nutters who want us all to freeze or starve. The result is that fuel prices are going to keep going up.
There is much excitement at the idea of countries paying all their citizens a universal basic income. But if the UK were to introduce a UBI for all citizens, paying every adult £1,600 a month, the total cost would be £1 trillion a year. After the cost of administering this service there would be nothing left for schools, hospitals, roads, police, the military, Ukraine or spending on civil servants. Everyone would have to pay for health care, policing, education, etc., etc., out of their £1,600 a month.
If you’ve been following the events in World War III, you might wonder why Murmansk has been the scene of so much fighting recently. Here’s a clue which the BBC and The Guardian may have forgotten to tell you about. Murmansk is the site of a massive LNG plant which is almost certain to be one of the world’s major sources of LNG – big enough to rival the United States (itself a massive source of the world’s LNG). The Americans don’t want competition for their LNG industry. So, NATO is using Ukraine as a weapon in its commercial war. (You will remember that America blew up the Nord Stream pipeline to stop Russia moving fuel to Europe – thereby forcing Europe to buy expensive American fuel and impoverishing Europeans.)
I understand that classic cars are exempt from the stupid, mindless new road pricing legislation introduced by Khan in London (and mimicked in other cities). So we will able to drive our 66-year-old new car in London without having to pay the insane ULEZ charge. Soon, the only traffic in London will consist of very old vehicles, and the city will look an old black and white Pathe newsreel. Wonderful.

The Medicine Men
31ST JULY 2023 by Dr. Vernon Coleman
My first book, published in 1975, was called The Medicine Men. It was the first book to attack the pharmaceutical industry and to excoriate the medical establishment for its links with the drug industry.
Astonishingly, the book was very well received. The BBC made a 14 minute film, based on the book, for its evening news programme. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper serialised the book. Most other national newspapers reviewed it very favourably.
Here, for example, is what I wrote about the benzodiazepine drugs:
‘The benzodiazepines such as Valium, Librium and Mogadon, are drugs which cause dependence too. A writer in the British Clinical Journal, discussing Valium and Librium wrote that 'sudden cessation of the drug creates acute feelings of apprehension and agitation accompanied by crawling sensation in the skin and nasal irritation.' (NOTE: I was editor of the British Clinical Journal at the time.)
The Medicine Men has been out of print for several decades but a new edition is now available on Amazon. The book was the first to attack the drug industry and was widely and well-reviewed when it first appeared. The main stream media had not yet been ‘bought’ by the drug industry.
And here are a few quotes from some of the dozens of reviews which appeared when the book was published. (In those far off days the newspapers used to review my books – even when they criticised drug companies and the medical establishment.)
…what he says of the present is true: and it is the great merit of the book that he says it from the viewpoint of a practising general practitioner, who sees from the inside what is going on, and is appalled by the consequences to the profession and to the public.
Brian Inglis, Punch 21.5.1975
The Medicine Men by Dr Vernon Coleman, was the subject of a 14 minute ‘commercial’ on the BBC’s Nationwide television programme recently. Industry doctor and general practitioners come in for a severe drubbing: two down and several more to go because the targets for Dr Coleman’s pen are many, varied and to say the least, surprising. Take the physicians who carry out clinical trials: many of those, claims the author, have ‘sold themselves to the industry and agreed to do research for rewards of one kind or another, whether that reward be a trip abroad, a piece of equipment, a few dinners, a series of published papers or simply money.
The Pharmaceutical Journal, May 17 1975
The Medicine Men’ is well worth reading.
Times Educational Supplement 6.6.75
Vernon Coleman, aged 28, is not a mine of information – he is a fountain. It pours out of him, mixed with opinions which have an attractive common sense ring about them.
Coventry Evening Telegraph 12.5.75
A reprint of The Medicine Men is now available on Amazon.
Passing Observations 194
28TH JULY 2023 by Dr. Vernon Coleman
The Office for National Statistics reckons that 5.6 million immigrants will come to England over the next decade. And 3.4 million tax-paying, largely white English people will leave in despair. Those are the official figures. The real figures will, inevitably, be much higher. The UN and the conspirators are deliberately changing (and destroying) history and culture around the world.
The United Nations (pause while I wash my keyboard) reckoned that immigration would maintain the age balance in European populations. They worked out that the EU (in which they included Britain) would need 700 million immigrants between 1995 and 2050. And the plan is working quite well. Starving millions are being forced out of Africa through insane economic policies (and the Ukraine war) and are coming to England in small boats. Conservative governments have constantly promised to reduce immigration and they have constantly failed to do anything about it. They’ve lied and immigration has massively increased under Tory rule. Much the same has happened in other countries, of course.
The royals are getting a 45% pay rise which is nice. While the rest of us are freezing and starving to death they can spread the caviar on thicker than ever. Just why war criminal Sunak felt he had the right to give even more of our money to what is already the most expensive reality show in the world is a mystery. And why are taxpayers forking out over £300 million to do up Buckingham Palace when, it seems that none of the royals wants to live there? (I don’t blame them for wanting to live outside London. The English capital must be a prime target for Russia.)
When England left the EU I thought we’d leave behind some of the daft laws we had acquired from Brussels. But, thanks to a treacherous Government, we’ve kept most of the rubbishy laws they lumbered us with and now councils are piling mad new ones onto the list. You can, for example, now be fined £100 for feeding a duck, climbing a tree or flying a kite. I’m a bit wobbly for tree climbing (and there’s no hospital service if I fall off or a branch breaks) but I have dusted off my kite and bought an extra loaf of bread for the ducks.
Hospitals in England in some areas now have a two week waiting list for standard X-ray results. If it’s a scan or something complicated then the waiting list will be longer. As I keep saying, the UK no longer has professional health care. The British taxpayers pay most for the worst. Read my book NHS: What’s wrong and how to put it right. It’s available on Amazon and much loathed by the conspirators and their henchmen, henchwomen and henchinbetweenies.
It is possible to get six fully grown Just Stop Oil protestors in the boot of our new old car and I am pleased to report that the extra load makes very little discernible difference to the car’s handling, though the squeals can be irritating. I’m hoping to be able to take most of the protestors into Wales where I will release them in the wild. I very much doubt if any of them will ever manage to find their way back to civilisation.
It still isn’t widely appreciated, but the covid-19 vaccination programme was (among things) an exercise in compliance. The steady erosion of our independence and self-determination began with the absurd recycling programme (which was never anything to do with re-using materials and always only to do with enforcing and training the public to do what they are told to do) and moved onto lockdowns, social distancing, masks and the outrageous mass poisoning of the world population with a toxic vaccine. I wonder, incidentally, how many of those royals and celebrities who were used to ‘sell’ the vaccine to the masses, were actually stupid enough to allow themselves to be poisoned. To find out their future plans for us read They want your money and your life by Vernon Coleman. (If I don’t plug it no one else will.)
I was appalled to see the way the Wimbledon crowd treated Djokovic. Solely because he had stood up and refused to allow himself to be vaccinated they booed him and treated him as the villain. Since booing a sportsman (particularly a brave one) is not a usual English habit one can only assume that the crowd consisted of alien pro-vaxxers brought in to try to maintain the myth that anyone who opposes mass vaccination must be a ‘bad’ person.
All around the world the middle classes are being deliberately destroyed.
Mark Twain described the ideal library as one which didn’t contain any books by Jane Austen. Our Mr Clements had good taste. Ms Austen is one of the four most over-rated authors in history. The Brontes make up the rest of the top four.
Nearly 2 million people in the UK now regularly buy cannabis illegally because they believe it is a safe way to treat chronic pain. Technically, it is possible to have it prescribed on the NHS but there is reputed to be a waiting list of 437 years which many consider a trifle on the long side.
The Labour Party (almost certain to win the next General Election if it arranges an alliance with the terrifying Liberals and the even more terrifying Greens) will, among other dastardly things, force pension funds to put some of their clients’ money into what is called ‘a future growth fund’, whether the fund managers think it’s a good idea or not. So, effectively, civil servants will be deciding how pension money is invested. (This won’t affect civil service pensions, of course, since they are largely paid for by long-suffering taxpayers.)
Alexander Dumas, the French author, fought his first duel when he was 23-years-old. During the duel his trousers fell down, which must have been a hindrance as well as an embarrassment.
Brexit has been a failure because half-witted, treacherous Remainers working in and for the British Government have conspired with the fascist EU to make it a failure. Remainers are ignorant, stupid, prejudiced, fascist, communist (yes, of course, you can be both) treacherous and part of the conspiracy to enslave us all (though they may not be bright enough or well-informed enough to realise this). If you want to know the truth about the EU please read The Shocking History of the EU by Zina Cohen. You’ll be grateful that we’ve left the EU when you do.
Mayor Khan, who seems to me to run London like a fiefdom, wants the power to seize empty buildings in the city. That’ll really encourage investment and development in London won’t it? I wonder if they’ll nick houses if people go away on holiday for a week. Khan also plans to extend the cruel car licensing nonsense which discriminates against the poor, the frail and the elderly. Khan is a cheerleader for the Great Reset and in my view one of the most dangerous men in Britain. He will, however, easily be re-elected Mayor at the next elections. No white person and no Christian will ever win an election in London where both will soon by in a minority. Sadly, London is owned by cultists and doomed.
The idiots calling for a world without oil should know that if all the mines in the world which are currently working or in development are successful and productive then together they will be able to produce two thirds of the essential metals required for the world to hit net zero by 2050. Oh, and most of the essential metals required are in China.
Postmen, the backbone of the country, have agreed a deal increasing their pay by 10% over three years. Hospital consultants on an average of £128,000 for their NHS work are demanding a 35% pay rise.
Section 8 of the Allotment Act in England gives every citizen the legal right to demand an allotment from their local council – as long as six people from different households join the request. This could be fun. Let’s all demand our allotted allotments.
A seaside resort in Southern England has closed its public loos in August so that they can be decorated. They have, however, apologised for the inconvenience. (I bet they didn’t see how funny that was.) My congratulations to the many seaside resorts which have done sterling work in discouraging holidaymakers, with, for example, car park fees reaching the sort of levels previously associated with major airports, and hotels (having few bookings from holidaymakers) concentrating on providing rooms for migrants, drug addicts and former prisoners. I predict that property values in English seaside resorts are going to collapse. This is not a good time to purchase a deck chair rental franchise or to rent an ice cream kiosk from the local council. And it’s not a good time for the makers of swim wear, sunglasses or luggage. Those who wanted to take holidays abroad were put off by absurd costs, strikes, customs belligerence and fake fears about the weather. Most Britons will take their holidays at home, guzzling cheap supermarket lager in front of the telly.
I wonder if society, MSM and social media will ever go back to assuming that the assumed are innocent until they are proven guilty.
