Yet Another Example Of The BBC’s Gross Misrepresentation
Hurricane Ian left 131 people dead, but according to the BBC, that disaster was nothing compared to the few days of hot weather we had this summer!
A BBC report last week claimed:
‘As the UK endured record high temperatures of 40C this summer, there were around 3,000 more deaths in the over-65s than usual in England and Wales – the highest figure since 2004. Many happened during the hottest days towards the end of July and in early August.
‘The data comes from a report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Experts say it shows just how dangerous hot weather can be.
“These estimates show clearly that high temperatures can lead to premature death for those who are vulnerable,” said Isabel Oliver, chief scientific officer at the UKHSA.
“A warming climate means we must adapt to living safely with hotter summers in the future.”
‘There were five heat-periods between June and August 2022, defined as days when the average temperature is greater than 20°C in central England.
During those periods, there were 3,271 excess deaths – 6.2 per cent above the five-year average – out of a total of 56,303 deaths in England and Wales.’
You would be forgiven for asking why death rates are actually always much lower during summer than any other time of year if people are going down like flies whenever the sun comes out!
And it will come as no surprise to learn that the BBC has grossly and deliberately misinterpreted the findings of the ONS report which they quote.
It says:
In simple terms, although daily death rates spiked during the hot spells, they quickly dropped below normal, indicating that people died a few days earlier than they would have anyway.
They did not die from the heat, but from pre-existing conditions.
Such spikes are just as likely to occur during spells of cold, wet weather.
As the ONS goes on to explain, nearly all of these ‘excess deaths’ were due to dementia and Alzheimer’s. Most occurred between July 10th and 25th, a total of 2227. Yet the mortality rates for July as a whole were not unusually high, indeed statistically the same as July 2021, and similar to other recent years.
Moreover, the ONS calculates their supposed excess deaths with reference to the five-year average, currently defined as 2016-19, plus 2021.
But as they admit, deaths in England and Wales have been running well above that five-year average since April this year.
Clearly, this is not weather-related, as people did not start dropping like flies as soon as we had a bit of mild weather in spring!
And as the chart below shows, we are continuing to see these excess deaths now in autumn.
The BBC and ONS are quick to blame these deaths on the weather, but maybe they should be looking for the real reasons.
And what might the real reasons be? An experimental injection that people were cajoled into taking perhaps? Shirley not.

Editor’s note: since when was it determined, and by whom, that 20C constitutes a ‘heat event’ in the UK? 20C is what the West Midlands Fire Service and the organization Age UK consider the ‘ideal temperature’.

Another great reason to never, never, never watch or listen to the main stream news. I wonder how they will spin the increase in 2023 winter deaths because green energy fails. Let us know.

The press and the global warming crowd deliberately suppress the fact that ANTARCTICA has had record cold, snow and ice accumulation for decades. Even the last few years, ANTARCTICA cold, snow and ice have hit record numbers.
The number of catastrophic hurricanes and tornadoes has dwindled the last couple of decades.
The oceans have not risen appreciably other than the normal waxing and waning of ice melt and evaporation cycles. If you try to google it, the first few pages will be pro global warming but when you drill down to the more reputable “scientific” sites it says no global warming. Also droughts, cold snaps, and weather extremes are the rule all throughout recorded history. There are records clear back to the 1400’s verifying this fact. One has to dig for this data because the political and globalists agenda has big-tech, the leftist media, et al working at sequestering real facts as the “Brown Shirts” did for Hitler. Most folks don’t even go past the first page and these hyena Globalists at google know this.
Lastly, look up the sun-spot cycle which is an eleven year cycle. The weather patterns on earth are affected profoundly by this cycle.
They try to explain it away with all kinds of mental gymnastics but it doesn’t pass the smell test. Funny one never hears of this, but then again suppression of reality by ideologues is commonplace.
The so-called doomed Great Barrier Reef is thriving and growing.

The BBC have been traitors a long time.
Letter dated 29 February 1944, to the BBC and British Clergy from the Ministry.
Sir I am directed by the Ministry to send you the following circular letter:It is often the duty of good citizens and pious Christians to turn a blind eye on the peculiarities of those associated with us.But the time comes when such peculiarities while still denied in public must be taken into account when action by us is called for.
We know the methods employed by the Bolshevik dictator in Russia itself,for example from the writing and
speeches of the P.M. during the last twenty years. We know how the Red Army behaved in Poland in 1920 and in Finland,Estonia,Latvia ,Galicia and Bessarabia only recently.We must therefore,take into account how the Red Army will certainly behave when it overruns General Europe.Unless precautions are taken, the obviously inevitable horrors which result will throw undue strain on the public opinion of this country.
We cannot reform the Bolsheviks but we can do our best to save them and ourselves – from the consequences of these acts. The disclosures of the past quarter of a century will render more denials unconvincing. The only alternative to denial is to distract public attention from the whole subject.Experience has shown that the best distraction is atrocity propaganda directed at the enemy.Unfortunately, the public is no longer susceptible as in the days of the “Corpse Factory” the “Mutilated Belgian Babies” and the “Crucified Canadians”.
Your co-operation is therefore earnestly sought to distract public attention away from the doings of the Red Army by your wholehearted support of various charges against the Germans and Japanese which have and will be put into circulation by the Ministry.
Your expression of belief in such may convince others.
I am Sir , Your obedient servant,
(Signed) H.Hewet ,Assistant Secretary
