Sir Mark Walport seems to be fully behind the move to have the state jab every arm in the land, multiple times.
His 'nothing sinister going on here' has itself a sinister ring to it. His claim that the mRNA treatments for which no long-term effects can be available in this short term deployment; can be regarded as every bit as wholesome as the polio or the TB vaccinations we all know to have been safe; less than convincing. (Safe, who knows yet, maybe because they were actual vaccines and not modifications to our RNA?)
His assurance of the ability of the jabs, to stop the passing of infection, is contrary to previous information from ministers and advisers that in fact the jabs do not stop people becoming infected, nor do they stop that infection being passed to others - their saving grace being that they alleviate symptoms and can curtail the onset of serious illness.
If, as he states, almost 90% of adults have been jabbed at least once, then how is it that we are not just totally in the clear now, instead of being held in this doom-narrative grip? What percentage of cover are we to aim for?
How can he be sure that in fact the jabs are the sole reason for our improved ratio between 'cases' and hospitalisations? Have our abilities to develop natural herd immunity been reduced to zero?
The 'India' or 'Delta' variant as it became known, has turned out to be, as he must surely be aware, nothing of concern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtOu7jx3snQ
Meanwhile, the economy that feeds all our kids and pays Sir Mark's salary, is being slow-bled by the day; it's workers thrown onto state dependency.

After a year of rampant Russophobia in the pages of The Spectator, it seems that there's a bit of an under-the-covers attempt to wake up to reality while saving face. However, even now, Owen Matthews sneers at the Russian economy as being insignificant in terms of its GDP. What sets the Russian economy apart from all of those in the West, is that it is running a surplus.
That quaint old habit of spending less than you earn, has its merits. The Western economies are increasingly bankrupt and only survive, courtesy of the scam being run between their respective treasuries and central banks whereby they simply hit the keyboard to produce out of thin air, new 'money' for their supine populations to buy more stuff.
This mis-match is the real war. An increasing number of countries (and Russia is merely the one being 'focused-on' right now) have had enough of being expected to stump up so that the profligate West can carry on holding all the goodies. Russia's stand is against an arrogant, effete and vainglorious band of thieves.
This is a bigger war than any we have known, yet the flaccid reporters of the West just cannot think outside their comfort zone of those other times of "starting off weak, then getting stronger to finally come through". Not this time.
The West is putting itself to sleep as painlessly as possible.

Good to see Prof' Mearsheimer being given a platform to speak in the established media. Across the alternative scene he has from the outset been a central source of truth regarding the origins of the Ukraine conflict, offering much to counter the tub-thumping, Russophobic memery that generally prevails in the UK on this crucial issue.
He honestly admits that he is flummoxed by Trump's antics. Anyone who, at this stage, claims they have a sure grasp of Trump's direction, is either a fool or a manipulator. There are those who are so desperately in need of some antidote to the nonsense of the Biden administration, that they hang on to every Trump move and read it as salvation. This faith stands little chance of being rewarded. When the Trump ego comes up against the hard rock of the Russian predicament, things could become very dangerous.
Russia's predicament then and the problem we all now face, is that it has to reach that point at which it feels once again that it has scotched permanently the project that seeks to dismantle its state and to wrest control over the Russian land-mass along with its globally important resources; thereafter to direct aggression toward its other imagined nemesis, China.
Whatever Trump promises to the Russians, whatever deals he might propose, they know he is, with all his flamboyant gesture, just one more US President - they come and they go, while in their supposed exclusion, the Nulands/Blinkens/Sullivans etc who brought us to this impasse, remain dedicated to their mission, assiduously preparing for the next phase.
