Row breaks out after BMJ retracts paper on vaccine deaths. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has been accused of damaging scientific integrity after retracting a paper which suggested that Covid vaccines may have been to blame for some excess deaths during the pandemic. The BMJ said it was retracting the article because of “misinformation. Dr Mostert who gave evidence to the US Senate speaks out and says: "Science cannot function when legitimate questions become professionally dangerous to ask. When scientists fear professional destruction, the public loses access to honest scientific inquiry.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08/15/row-breaks-out-after-bmj-retracts-paper-on-vaccine-deaths/

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to receive royal ceremonial funeral despite being stripped of his titles. Norman Baker, a former government minister and expert in royal finances, said: “This must be an oversight.

“ Lions Gate Silent Minute 8pm 🕊️ Will you join me? 8pm UK time, 1 minute Breathe through your heart. Prayer + love + peace to the world. HeartMath + science shows many coherent hearts make a difference. Forward to 2-3 people 💛 Long Version Lions Gate: The Silent Minute is Back Will you join me? 8pm UK time, 1 minute How we do it: HeartMath style: Breathe in and out through your heart. Activate love, gratitude, or appreciation. Then prayer, Tonglen, or focused thought - send peace and healing out to the world from that coherent place. Why this matters: During WW2, "The Silent Minute" united millions. King, PM, and people across nations paused together. Even a high-ranking German officer called it Britain’s “secret weapon” — “for which we could find no counter measure.” Science now explains part of why. The HeartMath Institute shows when we breathe through the heart and activate feelings of love/appreciation, our heart and brain get "coherent." Coherent hearts create a stronger electromagnetic field. Research by Dr. John Hagelin and groups in the 1980s also found that when enough people meditate/pray together with one intention, crime and conflict measurably dropped. Lions Gate 8/8 is a portal for higher heart consciousness and focused intention. Perfect timing to do this again. Any faith, any belief. No organization. Just us + the field. If this calls to you, please share it on. 1 minute × many coherent hearts = powerful. With love, ( Love Always Wins)

From a Bridget follower: "Went travelling around seeing some very pretty Devonshire villages. We stopped off for some lunch at Haytor village, and briefly paid our respects to Anne Widdecombe, as we drove past her home that she was murdered in a few weeks ago. We chatted to one of her neighbours and she said it took over 10 days to talk to the police. Don't you think they (police) would have been wanting to speak to the neighbours as soon as the murder was discovered??? The nearby roads were closed for a week."

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ordered an "urgent" review to identify any grooming gang members who may be eligible to be freed from jail under the government's early release scheme.
