Excess Deaths in Parliament
Andrew Bridgen's long struggle to have a debate in the House of Commons about the excess deaths scandal has finally been achieved. On Friday afternoon the Reclaim MP for North West Leicestershire stood up and spoke for about half an hour to a House with just fifteen members present. That was infuriating and disappointing; but what was inspiring and encouraging was that when he begins his speech and when he ends it you can hear a huge cheer from a crowd of supporters outside in Parliament Square; they were obviously watching it all on live TV. Afterwards he gave a speech to them on the steps, see:
. In his address to the Commons he holds nothing back and waters nothing down. He covers what I think are all the essentials of the issue; that we, the people, have been misled by the government and pharmaceutical industry over the Covid 19 pandemic, and this has led over a billion people to volunteer for a medication that was not properly tested for safety and effectiveness. In some cases it was not voluntary, in my view. I would have added that this medication may well have had a covert effect that was deliberately harmful. After he takes his seat Mr Bridgen is challenged by Maria Caulfield, the Undersecretary of State for Health and Social Care. She disagrees with his analysis and puts the excess deaths down to other causes, a high level of seasonal flu, dementia and morbidity caused by the lockdowns. She also denies that vaccination is in any way dangerous. This position has been successfully discredited in my view, see the background links below; but the House was adjourned before she could finish or Mr Bridgen reply. Source:

This debate is a mask-off moment. It illustrates so perfectly the divide between government bureaucrats and the general public. Andrew Bridgen spoke to a Parliament that was uninterested and hostile to him; hardly any of them even turned up. Yet the cheering and applause from his supporters outside is something I've never seen before when an MP speaks. Mr Bridgen is an official who has been rejected and slandered by the political system, expelled by his party, despised by his fellow statesmen; yet he is a popular leader with credibility among the electorate none of those other mindless apparatchiks could ever hope for, and he has earned it. He says at the end of his speech: "This might be the first debate on excess deaths in our Parliament, indeed, it might be the first debate on excess deaths in the world; but, very sadly, I promise you it will not be the last." I hope he's right. Oddly enough Andrew Bridgen was assaulted a few days before this debate, something he mentions when speaking. He was allegedly slapped on the back of his head by Crispin Blunt, MP for Reigate, in the canteen at Portcullis House. Blunt called Andrew a "bastard!" There were numerous witnesses, but no published video unfortunately. Source:
