“Held together by veto rather than consent” (Question Time audience member, 21st May 2026)

HE KNEW THE DOSSIER WAS FAKE. WEEKS LATER HE WAS DEAD IN A FIELD Dr David Kelly was Britain's foremost weapons inspector. He spent years inspecting Iraqi facilities, earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and knew more about Saddam's arsenal than almost anyone in government. In 2002, Tony Blair's government published a dossier claiming Iraq could deploy chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes. Britain went to war on the back of it. No weapons were ever found. Kelly knew the dossier was rubbish. He said so, quietly, to a @BBC journalist. That conversation ended his career, his privacy, and ultimately his life. The MOD carefully allowed his name to leak to the press as the BBC's source. He was then hauled before parliamentary committees, stripped apart by his own employer, and thrown to a media frenzy he never asked for. Two days after giving evidence to MPs, the 59-year-old was found dead in woodland near his Oxfordshire home. Instead of a proper inquest, Tony Blair asked Lord Hutton to run a private inquiry. Hutton concluded suicide. The inquest was opened, then suspended, and never resumed. Eight senior legal and medical figures, including a coroner, later wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was unsafe. They argued the wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not have caused sufficient blood loss to kill a healthy person. There were no fingerprints on the knife found beside his body, even though he was not wearing gloves. In 2011, Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected all calls for a new inquest. He said the Hutton Inquiry was "tantamount to an inquest" and that further investigation would be dismissed by judges with irritation. A man challenged the government's justification for a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly destroyed, died in mysterious circumstances, never got a proper inquest, and the people who sent him into that media storm faced no consequences whatsoever. Tony Blair became a Middle East Peace Envoy the following year. You genuinely could not make it up. Sources: @BBCNews, openDemocracy, Hansard, @thetimes | Hutton Report

For most of human history, sailors did not get scurvy. The Vikings, the Polynesians, the Inuit who travelled the Arctic, all conducted long sea voyages on diets that contained essentially no fruit and no vegetables. They did not develop scurvy because their diets contained large quantities of fresh and lightly preserved animal foods, which contain vitamin C in adequate quantities. Raw meat. Liver. Fermented meats. Fish, eaten head, eyes, and all. Whale blubber. Seal kidney. Then in the late 1400s the great European voyages of exploration began, and an interesting thing happened. The sailors started dying. They died in numbers that defied belief. Between 1500 and 1800, scurvy killed an estimated two million sailors. More than enemy action. More than storms. More than any other cause combined. Why? Because the European ships had switched to provisioning with grain. The ship's biscuit became the staple. Salted pork, salted beef, dried peas, and ship's biscuit. The fresh meat and the offal and the fermented dairy that had sustained earlier seafarers was eliminated in favour of the cheapest, most calorie-dense, most shelf-stable foods the navy quartermasters could source. The diet was technically calorically sufficient. It was nutritionally a catastrophe. Within six weeks of leaving port, the men's gums would start to bleed. Within twelve weeks, old wounds would reopen. Within sixteen weeks, men would be dying. The cure was lemons. James Lind worked it out in 1747. The Royal Navy refused to adopt it for another forty-eight years, on cost grounds. By the time they did, hundreds of thousands more had died. The lesson available to anyone willing to look: A diet that removes animal foods in favour of grain-based staples will kill you. It killed entire fleets of men. The vitamin deficiencies arrive in a specific order, and the death is preventable, and the populations that ate the meat had no idea what scurvy even was, because they had never seen it. You are now being told that grain-based diets with minimal animal foods are the healthiest option. The sailors who died were eating exactly that diet. Their teeth were falling out by the third week. Have a think about who is repeating the experiment.

“McInnes has said blow the whistle… Hearts are happy to finish” Game officially ended 8 seconds over the 8 mins added. How does this fit with the “ended prematurely” Hearts statement? This will be so disappointing for all the right people 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity. They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.

Hughie Stirling, 68 was kidnapped last night by Israel in international waters and he is being illegally held hostage. The Media is barely reporting it, I hope you will get the message out, and get him home from these evil terrorists.

Never mind the ferries, report this scandal. Scottish taxpayers are contributing to this white elephant. An absolute disgraceful waste of money. Or does it not suit your agenda? @BBCScotlandNews @BBCRadioScot @STVNews

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Anyone got the updated version of the ‘Most Trophies In Club History’ table?

Sky News confirms the Trump administration deliberately bombed an Iranian primary school full of children. Washington's missiles intentionally struck a prayer room where young girls were hiding for safety, completely collapsing the building. The Pentagon committed war crimes.

Kelechis pressure here is massive. A second more and he gets a shot off or goes to the right where theres an opportunity on.

Very interesting that in the last few moments Jim White on TalkSPORT has downgraded his accusations of Celtic fans from “assault” to goading, however he claims Tony Bloom confirmed the assaults last night, Hearts have to be very careful here legally, not one video of assault

6000 miles of Scotland's North Sea were secretly claimed by Westminster in 1999. Unionists often deny this, so I have included the legislation. Every Scot should RT this to reveal the truth about Westminster's underhand tactics to stop independence. legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1999/1126…
