  • I want you to understand this Dr. Carole Buckley issue so that there is no doubt

    Spread the love

    Dr. Carole Buckley hypnotised me and probably many others against my will and without my consent.

    The only justification for this is if there is a danger to a vulnerable group – children or women.

    What she does is set her little video camera up on it’s tripod and while you’re hypnotised gets you to make a false confession that you attack one of these vulnerable groups. You’re hypnotised, she says “I want you to say this …”.

    She does this so that she’s not prosecuted for whatever crime hypnotising someone without their consent and against their will is. Would that be assault?

    We need an investigation to look into how many people she has done this to. She was casual and measured so that I would expect it to be many people. If nurses and admin staff come across these false confessions, they should be recognised as false confessions by an evil bitch.

    8/5/25 update

    I’ve reported this to the Quality Care Commission and as a crime to my local police. It occurred to me later that the police probably know, that the doctor would probably have sent them a copy of the false confession at the time. “Oh, look at me, I’m so clever – I’ve found a paedophile for you. He confessed to me so I filmed it and asked him to repeat it. You’re also probably aware that he’s also one of those left-wing Socialists but – I’m sure that you’ll agree – that’s not a crime unfortunately.”

    I don’t hold much hope. The police keep to the notion that I’m an anarchist despite me being registered to vote and voting at every opportunity I can. They regard me as an anarchist so that it’s easier to refuse my rights – “He’s an anarchist but now he needs it he wants the law to protect him …” I’ve been a motorcyclist and now I’m a cyclist getting arrested for defending myself and my property. I’ve not heard about that yet. I told them that I wanted the car driver prosecuted but there seems little chance of that – he’s got twice as many wheels as me. I don’t expect to hear about it, looks like everyone is able to treat me like shit without consequence.

    8/5/25 I received a prompt initial response from the local police so I’m glad to say that I was proved wrong on that count.

    8/5/25 9.20pm BST. I extend an apology to my local police for being quick to criticise. I can understand what happened in the cycling incident, arriving without understanding what had happened before, I appreciate that their job is sometimes very demanding and that they probably get little thanks for doing it. I’ve probably been a bit stressed lately too.

    CHPI thinktank found five firms made an ‘eye-watering’ £169m in 2023-24, as calls for profit cap grow

    Profits made from treating NHS eye patients by five private firms are so large they equal those made by the 100 with private finance initiative (PFI) hospital contracts, research shows.

    The disclosure has led to calls for ministers to cap what can be “eye-watering” levels of profit made by private operators when they take over key public services.

    Research by the Centre for Health and the Public Interest (CHPI) thinktank found the five main companies providing cataract removals and other eye treatments to the NHS in England made an estimated £169m in profit collectively during 2023-24 – the same profit generated by the 100 PFI deals.

    David Rowland of the CHPI, who carried out the research, said: “For years the biggest scandal of wasted money in the NHS has been PFI, with huge amounts of taxpayer money leaking out of the health system and into the profit accounts of private firms.

    “But our research shows that the outsourcing of NHS eye care is an even bigger scandal. Just five eye care companies have generated the same profits in one year as the companies running all 100 NHS PFI schemes.”

  • NHS outsourcing fuels inequality and longer waits, study shows

     A general view of medical equipment on a NHS hospital ward at Ealing Hospital in London

    NHS outsourcing is fuelling inequality and lengthening waiting times, with wealthier patients receiving faster treatment than poorer ones, a study revealed today. 

    Researchers found that expanding private providers into NHS-funded care has reduced surgical admissions at NHS hospitals and driven up waiting times across the board. 

    Private hospitals are disproportionately located in wealthier areas and poorer patients, who are often sicker, are less likely to be admitted.With NHS capacity under pressure, the study warned that those on lower incomes are now waiting longer for care, receiving less support at home and facing greater barriers in travelling to private hospitals. On average, patients treated by private providers via the NHS waited only half as long as those treated in NHS hospitals.The poorest 20 per cent of patients are significantly less likely to be treated in the private sector and face longer waiting times than the wealthiest 20 per cent.Between 2003 and 2008, when private involvement in NHS treatment was minimal, surgical admissions rose and waiting times more than halved. But from 2008 onwards, as private sector provision expanded, NHS capacity fell and waiting times increased.Study co-author Professor Allyson Pollock of Newcastle University said: “The private sector is now substituting for, not adding to, NHS capacity.

  • NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs, report finds

    Guardian Exclusive: Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while rest of Europe benefits from golden age of research and treatments

    British cancer patients are being denied life-saving drugs and trials of revolutionary treatments are being derailed by the red tape and extra costs brought on by Brexit, a leaked report warns.

    Soaring numbers are being diagnosed with the disease amid a growing and ageing population, improved diagnosis initiatives and wider public awareness – making global collaborations to find new medicines essential.

    But five years after the UK’s exit from the EU, the most comprehensive analysis of its kind concludes that while patients across Europe are benefiting from a golden age of pioneering research and novel treatments, Britons with cancer have “lost out” thanks to rising prices and red tape.

    Brexit has “damaged the practical ability” of doctors to offer NHS patients life-saving new drugs via international clinical trials, according to the 54-page report obtained by the Guardian.

    In some cases, the cost of importing new cancer drugs for Britons has nearly quadrupled as a result of post-Brexit red tape. Some trials have had shipping costs alone increase to 10 times since Brexit.

    The extra rules and costs have had a “significant negative impact” on UK cancer research, creating “new barriers” that are “holding back life-saving research” for Britons, the report says.

  • Campaigners demand full nationalisation of British Steel after government seizes control of Scunthorpe plant

    A general view of British Steel in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, April 12, 2025

    LABOUR has been urged to catch up with public support for nationalising services “just as strategically important” as British Steel.

    Campaigners and unions have continued to call for the full nationalisation of the company after the government passed an emergency law on Saturday to seize control of its Scunthorpe plant.

    The legislation was passed in a single day, empowering ministers to save the last plant making “virgin steel” direct from raw materials from imminent closure, as well as thousands of jobs.

    But Labour’s action was likened to an expensive public bailout today amid growing calls for the government to stop the private sector from running other services into the ground.

    We Own It founder and director Cat Hobbs said: “The government has sprung into action to protect British Steel as a strategically important industry, with nationalisation on the table.

    “In 2020, Keir Starmer promised public ownership of rail, mail, energy and water — as well as ending outsourcing in our NHS and local government.

    “These public services are just as strategically important as steel, as drivers of economic and social development.

    “Since Thatcher’s sell off, many of our key public services have been handed over to foreign states, offshore funds and billionaires.

    “If Starmer is looking to take back control of our economy, this would be a good place to start.

    “The UK public overwhelmingly supports public ownership and it’s high time our government caught up.”
