Ofcom’s Covid Reporting Restrictions Are Still In Place
In February 2025, a tense exchange unfolded in the Oval Office between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US Vice President JD Vance
Vance challenged Starmer face-to-face, asserting that UK policies, like the Online Safety Act, infringe on free expression.
Starmer swiftly countered, saying he was proud of the UK’s long-standing tradition of free speech, adding it “will last for a very, very long time.”
What has lasted a very, very long time has been the government’s Ofcom restrictions on broadcasting information about covid.
It is now 2025, yet they have not been rescinded. They continue to prohibit discussion that may be “potentially harmful”.
This could, for example, effectively stop conversations questioning covid vaccine efficacy or safety, as challenging official claims might deter uptake of a vaccine still deemed life-saving.
Ofcom fined GB News £100,000 for such content, and in one instance tried to make presenter Mark Steyn personally liable, likely pushing broadcasters and presenters to prioritise other topics.
Why, in 2025, can’t broadcasters freely explore Covid’s legacy? Perhaps it’s less about specific fears of what people might hear and more about a broader anxiety over losing narrative control in an increasingly sceptical society.
The UK has in fact slipped to 3rd tier in global free speech rankings according to the 2025 Index on Censorship. However, the USA is at the same level as the UK on these rankings and fares worse on academic freedom. The Article 19 Global Expression Report puts the UK at 33rd out of 161.
The Index on Press Freedom puts the Uk in 23rd place out of 180 and the USA at 55.

The UK is turning its back on British values once held dear. As Starmer champions a legacy of free expression, the reality – reflected in rankings and restrictions – paints a stark retreat. Don’t wait around for the mainstream media to report on the Ofcom guidance.
Here is just one example of an OfCom ruling from February 2021.
“This sanction related to two episodes of Full Disclosure, a current affairs programme, broadcast on 11 February 2021 at 17:00 and 12 February 2021 at 11:00. Ofcom’s investigation found that the programmes contained materially misleading and potentially harmful statements about the Coronavirus pandemic and vaccine rollout, including but not limited to, the following:
- repeated assertions were made that having a vaccine is equivalent to being infected with the live Coronavirus, and that catching Coronavirus was as safe, and could even potentially be safer, than receiving a vaccine;
- that there had been a number of serious side effects or medical complications from taking a Coronavirus vaccine, including that a pregnant woman had a miscarriage “within hours or within days” of taking a vaccine;
- that alternative treatments for the Coronavirus were available but were being deliberately withheld from UK patients for financial reasons;
- that young people “are not affected” by the Coronavirus; and
- that in Wales, Coronavirus “was not even in the top ten biggest killers in the country”. “
But Prime Minister Keir Starmer still thinks free speech is alive and well so that’s all right then.

The covid lie has not gone away. Countries, ie Canada, are still pushing the covid shots and lying everyday about death and injuries from those shots. What can be done about embedded liars and incompetent governments?

International Public Notice: We Consider All Vaccine Mandates Criminal Acts in Breach of Trust and Violation of Contract
There is no doubt — none whatsoever — scientifically or otherwise, that the Covid 19 “live exercise” in the words of Mike Pompeo, was an Act of War against humanity, carried out by a few hundred masterminds engaged in a long term conspiracy against mankind.
These evil men and women were driven by delusions, fears, and selfishness to undertake the pollution of our genome and the destruction by lethal injection of a large percentage of Earth’s population. This was a deliberate and long-planned assault on the physical integrity and health of Homo sapiens sapiens by ideologues and madmen who insinuated their way into positions of power via the misuse and abuse of financial instruments and a plethora of substitution frauds and public trust frauds.
Our government went on the record very early in this debacle and outlawed the “vaccine” program and resulting insidious commercial claims to the effect that people who received the injections were rendered Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) subject to ownership by patent holders. We also established a public interest lien and claim against the promoters of this evil plan of one trillion USD per American harmed or killed as a result of these injections.
In the days and months following much more information has come to light, including the fact that the Process One Covid 19 “vaccine” formula was beta tested on 200,000 people in 2013, and today, twelve years later, exactly five (5) survivors of that test remain. Process Two Covid 19 “vaccine” made up the bulk of that distributed to the unwary public, and it’s trials, though less extensive in terms of numbers, showed that it was even more deadly, with an expectation that nearly all those who received the injection would be dead in only seven (7) years.
We are now seeing, literally, the end results in the form of thousands of reports of deadly foreign clots in arteries from morticians and embalmers, thousands of reports from cardiologists worldwide, and most of all, the rapid spread of “turbo cancer”. Statistically significant numbers of people in this country are reporting “more than three deaths” among friends and family members in the past month, mostly from cardiac arrest, stroke, and cancer. We are also seeing a vast increase in autism symptoms in vaccinated children — a condition that is virtually non-existent among unvaccinated babies worldwide.
We have more than enough data to conclude that: (1) the “vaccines” produced by the pharmaceutical corporations responsible have been engineered to produce profit-making disease, not health; (2) that these “vaccines” have been weaponized to cause broad spectrum death and to expedite commercial crimes beneficial to the promoters; (3) that any continuance of any vaccine program under the current circumstance, much less any adherence to any “childhood schedule” of recommended vaccines is criminal lunacy and a public danger.
We call for an immediate cessation of all vaccine production, sale, and deployment, period, at all, throughout The United States and within our Territories and Possessions, and also require that no Federal Employees will be forced or coerced or bribed or otherwise induced to take or administer any vaccine product as a condition of employment or obligation of citizenship.
The appropriate Principals and Shareholders, their Boards of Directors and corporate Executive Officers are hereby placed under public demand and provided explicit Public Notice of our Will in this matter.
We further note that while Eight U.S. States are poised to expand vaccine exemptions in 2025, this action is too little and too late and must be expedited and expanded to all U.S. States and Territories and all States of the Union and all illegally conceived Municipal “Commonwealth” entities operating in this country and doing business as the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Commonwealth of Kentucky, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
There is no lawful or legal basis allowing the existence of any “Commonwealth” organization within the borders of The United States and our lawful government objects to any pretense otherwise on the part of Municipal Subcontractors. These so-called “Commonwealths” must be dissolved.
These illegal operations are actively promoting and enforcing vaccine schedules and attempting to unlawfully convert the natural rights and responsibilities of parents living in these States of the Union into privileges subject to their organization’s political whims and legislative acts.
We call upon the Office of the Solicitor General to bring a swift and decisive end to the impositions of these disallowed Commonwealth governments on the living people of these States of the Union and an immediate correction of all court actions presuming authority to seize children from their natural homes and parents using an unrevealed and non-consensual claim of public trust and public health interests to do so.
The likelihood is that all vaccines have been weaponized to one extent or another, and that imposing vaccines on babies and children is condemning them to a lifetime of illness and immune dysfunction, autism, ADHD, or worse, in the name of preventing otherwise survivable childhood illnesses like measles and chickenpox.
Clearly, there is a different agenda at work here, at odds with anything resembling “public health”.
We must face the fact that pharmaceutical corporations have been force-selling us snake oil remedies for decades and the endless pills and prescriptions have not resulted in better health overall, nor have they resulted in better science. Instead, science and math have been subverted in favor of commercial profit and the endless roster of “side effect” warnings attached to nearly every drug in the marketplace is more than adequate testimony to this fact.
This “patent medicine” is no better than the concoctions of decaying snake carcasses and whiskey sold as miracle tonics in the Old West. The FDA which was tasked to prevent a repeat of these abuses sold out and has promoted them instead. The politicians in receipt of kickbacks turned a blind eye. The mercenaries holding a controlling interest in the pharmaceutical companies saw their chance and crossed the line and genocided millions of innocent people, including Americans, for the sake of profit.
The actions of these pharmaceutical companies seeking to avoid their own natural liability for their products also speaks volumes regarding their reckless profit-seeking and lack of accountability.
As regards the members of the U.S. Congresses that released these corporations from accountability for their products in 1986 and those that have gone along with and supported the issuance of these so-called “vaccine” products to the public, and who have allowed the false advertisement claiming that these “vaccines” were “safe and effective” — while exempting themselves and their families from having to take these injections — we consider them all common criminals who conspired against the public interest for their own venal commercial benefit and who knowingly exposed the people they are under contract to protect to reckless endangerment and irreparable harm.
We hold them individually and collectively 100% personally and commercially liable for their acts and omissions; they may have released these pharmaceutical corporations from their natural product liability, but they have accrued that liability for themselves and their Principals.
We request and require Mr. Trump to arrest and prosecute these criminals and traitors as corporation officers and personnel under the Universal Code of Military Justice and our own prohibitions against Treason, Unlawful Conversion, Impersonation, Inland Piracy, Conspiracy, Misprision of Treason, and other crimes as may be appropriate.
We also request and require Mr. Trump to take appropriate action against the so-called Commonwealths that have been illegally established in our midst and require the recognition of The Virginia Assembly, The Massachusetts Assembly, The Kentucky Assembly, and The Pennsylvania Assembly as the only lawful State Government operating in these States of the Union.
We also call upon him to exercise his office as Commander in Chief to shut down all Municipal/Commonwealth Courts still operating in these States of the Union and all CPS operations engaged in child snatching and forced immunization and vaccination activities.
We have officially proven that all public trust and public interest claims by these privately owned foreign corporations acting as Federal Subcontractors and State-of-State franchise operators, are merely self-interested constructive fraud schemes aiming at unlawful conversion of the natural political status of Americans and the illegal imposition of foreign citizenship obligations upon American State Nationals.
There can be no credibility and no actionable authority derived from undisclosed and unconscionable contracts resulting in unrevealed public trusts, nor from any of the adhesion contracts subsequently imposed upon the victims of these “governmental services corporations” in the form of mortgages they don’t owe, property taxes they don’t owe, income taxes they don’t owe, and social security programs they were misinformed about and then coerced and forced to participate in.
Likewise, the natural right of parents to determine their own health choices and the health choices they make for their minor children cannot be converted into a privilege subject to the whims of any incorporated body whatsoever; nor can any State of the Union be unlawfully converted into or substituted for by any “Commonwealth” entity or commercial corporation.
The only contracts we have with any of the foreign Principals responsible for these crimes are plainly stated as The Constitution of the United States of America and The Constitution of the United States — and the word “health” does not appear in either document.
Mr. Trump is advised that these courts are merely private corporate in-house tribunals and the judges and justices “elected” are only being elected within the shareholder groups responsible.
As such, they enjoy no state immunity, no public offices or authorities, and are merely employees — elected or appointed — of foreign for-profit governmental services corporations.
We did not offer them any authority or function related to us, our States of the Union, or our people that is not explicitly enumerated within the applicable Federal Constitutions; any presumption on their part otherwise, is merely that — a rude presumption on the part of bureaucrats who owe us good faith service in the exercise of explicit enumerated and delegated duties.
The only venue related to us and available to the Federal Courts including any “District” Courts and any State of State or State Trust franchise courts operated by the Federal Corporations strictly relates to the approximately 8% of all Acts of Congress published in the Congressional Record, which may under certain circumstances apply to American State Nationals engaged in federally regulated activities or those voluntarily entering known federal enclaves and offices, such as Federal Courthouses and Post Offices and Naval Yards, etc.
The fact that millions upon millions of Americans have been hoodwinked and trafficked and misidentified as Federal Dual Citizens as a result of undisclosed registration processes being maliciously misapplied to them, is problematic only to the extent that the victims need to be fully informed and then need to make informed decisions about their chosen political status.
This International Public Notice is hereby issued to all Federal Officials, elected and appointed and hired, all State (Trust), State of State, and Commonwealth officials and officers and organizations operating within the borders of The United States and within United States Territories and Possessions: an international conspiracy against our government, our people, and our institutions is well-advanced and has successfully murdered by guile and deceit and immoral misrepresentation a large portion of our population and the population of many other countries via injection of undisclosed chemical agents. This has been done under color of law, under false pretenses of “war”, under illegal occupation, under duress and under material misrepresentation by foreign commercial and municipal interests claiming that these chemical agents were safe and effective vaccines, when in fact these injections were never vaccines and were known to be harmful and in the end, fatal, to all recipients.
The fact that this was designed to be a “slow kill” so as to milk out medical profiteering profits in no way changes the fact that the intent was to mislead and ultimately murder large numbers of innocent people for profit.
Similarly, the purposeful dumping of dangerous poisons and metallic incendiary compounds and industrial waste products on our soil and surface water has resulted in genocide wherever these “chem trail” and “water treatment” programs have been implemented under the guise of harmless geoengineering experiments and promotion of dental hygiene, and other public health objectives. This again, was a slow kill approach, calculated to result in a maximization of profits from chronic disease and ultimate death of the victims.
These foreign corporations have operated as crime syndicates, have conspired against their constitutional obligations, and are not any species of legitimate government even though they have exercised certain delegated governmental powers under contract; they have no state immunity, no public offices, and are presently in violation of their contracts and service obligations.
The Department of Defense (Territorial) and DOD (Municipal) have notably failed to protect their actual
