Win For Reality: UK’s National Health Service Constitution to Declare ‘Sex is Biological’

In a marked rejection of transgender ideology and a win for women’s rights activists, the constitution of Britain’s National Health Service will publicly declare that sex is a biological reality that must inform how patients are treated.

Following the move by the National Health Service to prohibit the prescription of life-altering puberty blockers to children, another major pillar of wokist medicinal thought, that sex is a fluid concept, looks to be dismantled as the NHS’ constitution will state: “We are defining sex as biological sex.”

In practice, the update to the governing document of the socialised healthcare system will mean that so-called transgender women will be barred from female-only hospital wards, The Telegraph reports.

At present, there is no recognition of sex as a biological fact when determining where patients were placed, resulting in some female patients being forced to share a room with biological males who claim to be transgender women.

The new constitution will state that NHS patients will “not have to share sleeping accommodation with patients of the opposite biological sex”. Previously, the document said that patients would be placed in the ward of the sex they identified as.

In response to objections raised by female patients over being seen by a transgender nurse or doctor, the constitution will also allow patients to request to be cared for by a healthcare professional of the same sex.

The changes have come at the direction of government ministers, who are tasked with updating the NHS constitution at least once every ten years. The document was last updated in 2015. However, in addition to the input from ministers, a two-month public consultation will be conducted to allow members of the public and from the healthcare industry to submit further suggestions for changes to the constitution.

Pharma companies ‘bribed NHS doctors to use infected blood products’ that gave patients HIV and hepatitis C

Pharmaceutical companies have been accused of bribing NHS doctors to use infected blood products that gave people HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s.

NHS hospitals were offered money to buy blood products from US pharma giants, who were known to have paid high-risk donors for their plasma, the Telegraph has reported. 

Around 1,250 people with haemophilia were infected with HIV and another 5,000 contracted hepititis C after they were given the blood-clotting drug Factor VIII. 

Now a letter dated from January 1981 reveals that St Thomas’ Hospital in London was offered £8,500 (around £41,000 today) in rebates for buying Factor VIII made in the US. 

The letter – which has been published in the book The Poison Line by Cara McGoogan – shows that doctors were offered to purchase four million units of Factor VIII produced by Bayer and Baxter Healthcare in return for monetey incentives.

Jason Evans, director of the campaign group Factor 8, told the Telegraph: ‘Doctors were literally offered cash to use dangerous products.

‘In my opinion, on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies, this basically amounts to bribery.’

The haemophilia centre at St Thomas’ – run by Dr Geoffrey Savidge – was known to have some of the highest rates of Factor VIII use per patient in the UK, according to Professor Edward Tuddenham.

The leading haematologist and emeritus professor at the Royal Free in London said: ‘Dr Savidge was known for years for using American concentrate. He had very well-equipped laboratories.’

Although Dr Savidge died in 2011, an earlier inquiry in 2007, found that ‘he used almost exclusively commercial products but he shouldn’t have done.’

Around 3,000 people died due to the infected blood scandal in the 1970s and 1980s which has been dubbed the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history.

Former senior policy advisor to Obama White House charged with child sex offences in British court

A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.

Rahamim ‘Rami’ Shy, 46, who co-ordinated the US government’s strategy to combat terrorists from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, court documents reveal.

He is also charged with possession of two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.

Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was arrested in late February by Bedfordshire Police. He was charged the following day and appeared at Luton Crown Court via video-link from HMP Bedford on Friday wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit.

He was not asked to enter a plea to any of the charges and was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in June.

Thought Police: Home Visit For UK Man Who Expressed Anger Online About Sydney Bishop Being Stabbed by Islamist

A video out of the UK shows a man being visited at home by two police officers and an NHS psychologist after he expressed anger online about the stabbing of a Bishop in Sydney by an Islamist.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was stabbed by a 16-year-old boy at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd church on Monday night, an attack that was caught on camera.

The teenager walked right up to the bishop as he was giving a sermon and furiously jabbed at him with a knife while shouting “Allahu Akbar” as onlookers desperately tried to wrestle him to the ground.

After the teen was pinned down, he could be seen smirking.

Now a new video has emerged showing how an Orthodox Christian man in the UK received a home visit from police and a psychologist for reportedly posting online, “Christians must stand up.”

The clip shows a female officer explaining how authorities had “a few concerns” about what the man had posted on social media.

“So why are you here today?” asks the man.

The woman says the police have been told the man “might have a few concerns, a few things that are bothering you at the moment.”

“This is religious discrimination,” responds the man, asserting that the police wouldn’t be knocking on the door of a Muslim if they had made similar statements.

“People raised concerns about your views…about what’s going on in Australia,” the police officer continues.

“Yeah, so I’m an Orthodox Christian, now you’ve turned up at my house because I went and seen my priest,” the man responds.

The NHS psychologist reiterated that there was a report about “some beliefs being expressed” and that he was there to ‘help’ the man.

Archaeologists Searched For a Cult’s Secrets—and Stumbled Upon an Ancient Henge Instead

The search to better understand a cult from over 1,300 years ago led to an even older find: one of the largest henge sites ever seen in eastern England, dating back to the Neolithic period.

The legend surrounding the ruins of a medieval abbey near Crowland, England, links the henge with an Anglo-Saxon hermitage honoring Saint Guthlac. But it turns out that the site’s history runs much deeper.

After Guthlac gave up his life as the son of a nobleman to live in solitude, he became a popular figure. Shortly after his death in 714 AD, a small monastic community formed in his memory. The success of this cult helped establish the Crowland Abbey in the 10th century, but little else is known about Guthlac and the location on which his hermitage once rested.

In searching for the site, archaeologists found something arguably even more exciting. A study published in the Journal of Field Archaeology chronicles a location known as Anchor Church Field and its ties to ancient history.

Archaeologists long suspected that Anchor Church Field was the site of Guthlac’s hermitage. But when a team from Newcastle University and the University of Sheffield joined forces to excavate the location, they discovered an unknown Neolithic or Early Bronze Age henge—defined by English Heritage as a prehistoric circular or oval earthen enclosure with a ring-shaped bank on the outside and a ring-shaped ditch on the inside, likely used for ceremonial purposes. It turns out the circular earthwork is one of the largest ever found in eastern England, and carbon dating on a timber portion of the henge places its construction at about 1400 BC.

‘Transgender Archeology’ PhDs And Degrees In ‘Magic’ Being Funded With Taxpayer Money

A Conservative MP in the UK has called for a thorough review of government higher education funding after it was revealed that taxpayer money is being spent on ridiculous university courses, including a PhD researcher who has chose to explore “Transphobic Invocations of Archaeology.”

The Telegraph reports that the student at the University of York is being given more than £18,000 a year by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to do detailed research and present papers, including one titled Bones Don’t Care About Your Feelings: Challenging Transphobic Invocations of Archaeology in (Social) Media.

The student in question also gave a presentation that noted “What if I told you that when an archaeologist finds human remains, it is a fact that there [sic] only two choices for gender identification.”

The ‘research’ was also partially funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a non-departmental government body that distributes funds for research, which claims that “research projects we support are made via a rigorous peer review process.”

Maybe make it a bit more rigorous then?

Commenting on the finding, biologist Dr Emma Hilton, co-founder of Sex Matters, noted “Human remains cannot tell us anything about the unembodied ‘gender identity’ of a person.”

Providing an example, Hilton urged that “A female Viking warrior buried with male-typical war possessions tells us only that some women successfully broke through early glass ceilings.”

Military chiefs scramble to rush UK’s new laser ‘death ray’ into service amid fears over Russian missiles and drones – with hi-tech DragonFire system to be fitted to Royal Navy warships

Military chiefs are to rush devastating laser guns into service to meet the threat posed by Russian drones and missiles.

Royal Artillery troops will test the revolutionary ‘DragonFire’ weaponry, which burns holes through incoming enemy ordnance, during the summer.

The sudden urgency to roll out a suite of ‘directed energy weapons’ follows the Kremlin’s alarming effective use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Ukraine.

British soldiers will also experiment with radio frequency weapons capable of firing magnetic pulses at enemy targets thereby cutting off their power supplies.

Last night, UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps boasted that Britain is leading the world in the development of these breakthrough technologies.

More Than Half of UK Foreign Aid Budget Now Being Spent on ‘Refugees’ in Britain

The UK is now housing so many asylum seekers that more than half of the country’s foreign aid budget is spent in Britain.

Data released by the Foreign Office data on Wednesday shows that the UK spent £9.9 billion in bilateral aid in 2023, with 54 per cent of this being used domestically, up from 48 per cent the previous year.

Money that is supposed to be reserved to help poorer countries alleviate poverty and respond to humanitarian disasters is being spent in the UK because the country is brining in so many “refugees,” the vast majority of whom are actually economic migrants.

With the cost of housing asylum seekers in hotel accommodation, some in 4 star hotels in prime tourist locations, running at a whopping £8 million pounds a day, the amount of foreign aid being given to poorer nations has feel by 10 per cent.

Sarah Champion, chairman of the international development committee, said the figures were “deeply worrying,” while Gideon Rabinowitz, director of policy and advocacy at Bond, said the numbers showed that “the Government seems to have lost its grip on UK aid spending.”

Convicted sex offender wins right to remain in UK despite doctors saying he still ‘acts inappropriately towards females’ – because judge said he faced risk of ‘mob violence’ if sent back to Afghanistan

A convicted sex offender has won the right to remain in the UK despite doctors saying he still ‘acts inappropriately towards females’ – because judge said he faced the risk of ‘mob violence’ if he was sent back to Afghanistan.

The man was convicted of ‘outraging public decency and exposure’ in 2017 but was still given permission to stay in the UK.

This is despite doctors saying he ‘continues to act inappropriately towards females’ at his asylum appeal hearings.

But in immigration tribunal judge said he could not go back to Afghanistan in 2020, because his ‘risky behaviours’ would would put him at risk of ‘ill treatment’.

It comes after Home Secretary James Cleverly called for a light to be shone on tribunal decisions, many of which are shrouded in secrecy because judges often impose draconian reporting restrictions.

The tribunal courts have allowed more than half of asylum seekers to stay in country since 2021 – with most of the unsuccessful candidates staying illegally.

Immigration adviser Jayne Mercer said there were as many as 500 living in Hull alone who are living ‘in plain sight’.

She told the broadcaster: ‘It costs a lot of money to deport people. So they’re left in a situation of limbo.

‘Quite often, after a few attempts, they do get status.

This is funded by an average of more than £34million of taxpayers’ money since 2017, analysis of legal aid figures by the broadcaster reveal.

Director of public law at Duncan Lewis Ahmed Ayeed, whose company respresented the sex offender, slammed the suggestion lawyers are to blame for the crisis- saying the British public would be left furious if they knew the extent of the system’s failings.

All UK Airports will close by 2029 & Beef and Lamb will be banned for Human Consumption to meet Climate Scam Targets according to UK Gov. Report

A report produced by Oxford University and Imperial College London for the UK Government reveals that all airports will be ordered to close, eating beef and lamb will be made illegal, and construction of new buildings will not be permitted to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050.

The report states that all airports must close between 2020 and 2029 excluding Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast airports, which can only stay open on the condition that transfers to and from the airport are done via rail.

All remaining airports must then close between 2030 and 2049 because to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050 every citizen of the United Kingdom must “stop using aeroplanes” for a significant period of time.

In addition, the report states that to obey the law of the Climate Change Act the public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions regardless of its energy source. According to the report, this will require the public to never eat beef or lamb ever again.

To do this national consumption of beef and lamb will drop by 50% between 2020 and 2029. Then between 2030 and 2049 beef and lamb will be “phased out”.
