In a week where a midwife in Northern Ireland has been struck off by the NMC and where another high profile covid ‘dissident’ doctor is up before the GMC, we share the letter we sent a few days ago. This pattern of medical censorship is still repeating across the world, from Canada to Australia and is forcing good people out of the health service and is detrimental to patient safety.
Censorship
Book Review: Managing A Pandemic
HART’s book reviewer turns to black humour:
Derek calls Yin at the national broadcaster again.
“We need to stop people questioning our lockdown policy… we will run a story comparing [this] to the Black Death. And release a daily stats bulletin exaggerating the number of people it has killed, using the questionable assumption that all deaths where the deceased tested positive for the virus within the past 30 days were indisputably caused by the virus. That should frighten people into compliance”.
“I’m not sure that’s wholly objective”, ponders Derek. “But I like it”.

Free Speech in retreat
Ofcom’s Iron Grip shows the UK turn its back on British values In February 2025, a tense exchange unfolded in the Oval Office between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US Vice President JD Vance. Vance challenged Starmer face-to-face, asserting that UK policies, like the Online Safety Act, infringe on free expression. Starmer swiftly countered, […]
Journal Gatekeeping:
Are medical journals increasingly acting as ‘gatekeepers’ to promote ‘established narratives’ but sideline research that challenges the status quo? Many articles containing ‘controversial’ views that initially achieved publication have been promptly retracted. In the past 5 years, the retraction of papers criticizing the covid vaccines or lockdown policies, for example, has gone stratospheric….
Victory for Dr. Charles Hoffe as Case Withdrawn After Lengthy Battle:
Dr Charles Hoffe, Family Doctor in British Columbia was suspended from his work three years ago when he reported on vaccine injuries in his patients. Finally the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia have dropped all their action against him, but only after he has racked up a huge legal bill. Why now?
People’s Vaccine Inquiry Press Conference
Members of the People’s Vaccine Inquiry held a Press Conference in London at the end of the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry, Module 4 hearings. The aim was to look at many of the omissions and misinformation of the official Inquiry and give a public voice to the many dissenting health professionals and others who are far from convinced that these products
How Speaking Out Against Harmful COVID Policies Can Get You Banned by the NHS
This time, there was a reaction. But instead of addressing the harm to children or engaging with the evidence, NHS Dumfries & Galloway’s CEO, Jeff Ace, decided instead to ban me from all NHS premises for six months.
America’s Medical Monopoly: An Injection of Truth
The General Medical Council (GMC) is in overdrive, with medical professionals being erased from the register for ‘wrongspeak’. Yet this is not a new phenomenon. If we delve into the history of how our existing ‘medical monopoly’ was established, it is an all too familiar disturbing playbook of censorship, corruption and subversion of ethics that spans over 130 years in the making.
An Open letter to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service
A recent open letter was sent top the GMC about the current witch hunt against outspoken and ethical doctors. The MPTS is the other arm of this.
Peer Review:
Peer review is a system used by scientists and clinicians to decide which primary research or secondary (review/commentary) content is worthy of being published. In theory it is a process of cumulative, collective knowledge that through publications is cascaded from experts to readers. But in practice things are not always what they seem!
The Witch Hunt continues
The current situation of self-censorship amongst doctors combined with GMC overreach, risks serious ongoing harms to patients and must not continue.
The Academic Whistleblower
According to Dr Elliott, a bioethicist at the University of Minnesota, “individuals don’t stumble into whistleblowing; rather, they are reluctant casualties of a corrupted system.”
Governments always know what’s best for us
” In every sphere of daily life, our thoughts and actions are being manipulated, often covertly, so as to align them with what the state’s technocrats have deemed to be in our best interests; openness and transparent attempts at persuasion are no longer deemed necessary.” Does this describe Britain today?
A further letter to the GMC
Eighty-five doctors and health professional urge the GMC to close investigations of vexatious complaints.
An open letter to Professor MacEwen at the GMC
time to put your words into practice and end the witch hunt against doctors Open letter to GMC: 28th June 2024 Professor Dame Carrie MacEwen, Chair, General Medical Council Mr Charlie Massey, CEO, General Medical Council Professor Philip Banfield, chairman of council, British Medical Association Dr Jeanette Dickson, Chair of Council, Academy of Medical Royal […]
Kafka-NHS
In June 2021, Dr. Sam White, a general practitioner, released a video calling out harmful covid policy. From a scientific perspective every word he said was entirely defensible. Moreover it is clear that he was speaking from an ethical position of wanting to protect his patients from harm. He pulled no punches in addressing the most prominent issues that were causing harm – lack of treatment for the frail, inappropriate gene therapies and masking. In interviews, in 2022, he called the situation a war between good and evil. In doing so he unleashed a torrent of anger among those in a position of power over him, which, three years on, continues to harm him.
Gove’s Ministry of Truth Reporting for Duty
For those paying attention to the rising tide of totalitarianism here in the UK, the latest from The Ministry of Truth, AKA HM Government should really make your blood run cold. Michael Gove has now overseen the redefining of extremism.
NUDGE DENIALISM: Why are the state’s psychological experts distancing themselves from behavioural science?
The state’s reliance on behavioural science strategies – ‘nudges’ – to facilitate the public’s compliance with covid restrictions has been widely documented. The many psychologists and behavioural scientists advising the government during the covid event (such as those in the SAGE subgroup, SPI-B, and the Behavioural Insight Team, BIT ) have, reasonably, been assumed to hold a significant degree of responsibility for using these methods of persuasion in communication campaigns
