"I would argue that, since, under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986, it is an offence for a person to use ‘threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviours that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm of distress’, and that a person guilty of such an offence is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months, Khan should be arrested, interviewed and charged by the Metropolitan Police Service, and be compelled to resign from his position as morally unfit to hold public office. He won’t be, of course, because he is protected from such charges not only by his office but also by his ethnicity, which allows him, as it does other Asian and Black Britons, to accuse anyone in this country who is White of being racist, far-right, anti-Semitic (etc.) with complete impunity, and indeed with the full support and approval of the woke Left and the nearly 1 in 5 of the UK population encouraged by woke to see racism everywhere."

Update: MHRA denies menacing phone call to the Telegraph after AstraZeneca article

The subject of writing to MPs came up in UK Column News Extra yesterday (what the merits of bothering may be).

Just in is a reply from my MP, to a different email address from the one I had used originally, over a month after the debate to which I referred.

As he reminds me, Mark Harper was Chairman of the toothless Covid Recovery Group. Whilst he is willing to take responsibility for pushing everyone towards receiving a jab they should never have had, he lacks the consistency and integrity to own the consequences.

We pay his salary.

Here, a MSM news station aired a video showing Israeli soldiers with a captured and blindfolded man in his underpants. They missed that they accidentally showed the man was freely wearing his pants without being blindfolded, or arrested.
