It is little wonder that a lot of people would prefer to forget what had started to happen by this time five years ago, but it is best that we remember.

Rosie Marshall, along with many others, is doing just that, Down Under.

She tells Ben Rubin all about the Forest of the Fallen project, giving dignity to those maimed and killed by COVID jabs:

Once you get to the end of the interview, I think it highly unlikely that you won't be wondering how to listen to that wonderful song again. So, here it is:

Sometimes, I think this would be an excellent way to close out UK Column News, though better with a live audience, of course:

Imagine if Elon Musk actually knew how to do something useful, like using a real chainsaw.

Before the modern assault on confidence, competence, capability and common sense: health and safety.

Just some of the interests registered by Sadiq Khan, that there was not room enough for in the main body of the form!

The BBC acting as the government's mouthpiece, pushes tighter control over children outside school.

A proposed register would assign a "consistent identifier", expanding state oversight & control.

This isn’t just about education—it’s about increasing government power over families.

The 2015 Biosecurity Act in Australia introduced the notion that there is a General Biosecurity Duty.

The old ones are the best ones.

Peter Mandelson, from one of the 1992 debates which created the inheritance tax opportunity for this Labour Government:

"I assure the Minister that I am not motivated by greed. I am motivated by a desire to see everyone, no matter how big or lowly, not given opportunities to cheat the public purse or wider public interest in disreputable and unlawful ways."

A well-aimed toss of the "divide and rule" grenade, it seems.

In recognising that scrapping DIE policies has had an impact on shopping behaviours, some Americans are pushing for what they are calling an Economic Blackout for tomorrow, 28 Feb.

The proposal is to withhold money from the multinationals for a day, and virtue-signal whilst you are doing it.

Predictably, this has had a reaction, as seen above.

Neither "side" appears to realise that if they did this for 365 days out of each year, things would, in fact, change: for the benefit of almost everyone.

If you shop with corporations, you are quite literally paying for your own demise.

Proposed replacement for eye test chart.

All the world's countries and territories in size order.

A learning experience for all ages, but I bet you can't do the bottom line...
