Podcasts about cartland

In 2024, romance – a genre once relegated to the back corners of bookstores – might just be saving the publishing industry. But while more and more readers are looking for love between their covers, few are reaching for titles by one of the first giants of the genre, Dame Barbara Cartland, author of over 600 romances, colloquially known as the “Queen of Romance,” and a favorite writer of Princess Diana. While her work has fallen out of fashion, Cartland's legacy can tell us a lot about the romance genre's contemporary dominance. Best-selling author Casey McQuiston, along with Cartland's granddaughter Tara Parker, join Seth Doane to discuss her impact on the world.For more episodes like this one, search for "60 Minutes: A Second Look" and follow the show, wherever you get your podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you were to ask someone in the 20th century what a romance novelist looked like, they'd likely have visions of pink chiffon, bright blue eyeshadow, false eyelashes, and excessive costume jewelry thanks to one woman: Barbara Cartland, who was dubbed by the Romantic Times as the “Queen of Romance.” Cartland was larger than life, but like most outsized figures, the “self-publicizing juggernaut' was also very controversial. From the 1920s until her death in the year 2000 she wrote over 700 novels, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Show notes and Transcript Gareth Icke joins us to discuss all things censorship.  His Dad, David Icke has been banned from travelling to the EU for the past 2 years because of his "hurtful" comments and has just had his appeal overturned.  He is regarded as a threat to community cohesion and free speech and the judge in the Netherlands has, surprise surprise, sided with the government and rejected his appeal against his travel ban. So anyone can have their right to travel in Europe blocked because they stand up for free speech? This is on top of the censorship being introduced through the Online Safety Bill in the UK and similar legislation in the EU.  Gareth explains how and why we have been targeted and what we can do to ensue freedom of speech remains across Europe and beyond. Gareth Icke is an activist, a singer/songwriter, an author, a former international beach soccer player, the presenter of ‘Right Now', an uncensored current affairs show on the Ickonic Network and is also the son of the legendary truth warrior David Icke. He has been attending protests and rallies since he was a small boy and he's worked tirelessly in the movement for truth and continues to do so through docu-series, films, books, podcasts, rallies, speaking engagements and much more. Gareth's weekly show, 'Right Now', goes out every Friday at 7pm on ickonic.com. It gives guests from all over the world a chance to say their bit, covering a huge range of subjects that the mainstream doesn't want you to hear about.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Gareth Icke, it is wonderful to have you back with us again. Thanks so much for joining us today. (Gareth Icke) It's a pleasure, mate. It's always nice to chat to you. Good to have you on. And of course, @GarethIcke on Twitter, @Ickonic, also on Twitter. Do you wanna, in case we have, obviously, many viewers from the Stateside as well, they may not come across Ickonic, do you wanna just give them a one minute precept of what they can find there and how they can find your material? Yeah, well, Ickonic's a free speech platform, basically born out of censorship. So when Twitter started banning everyone a few years back, YouTube were banning everyone, Vimeo kicked off all the videos and all that sort of stuff. Parler came along as a bit of a free speech platform and then was quickly sidelined by the fact that it was using Amazon servers or whatever. So it became quite obvious to us that actually, Oh mate, no, you're gonna need the whole shebang in-house, because it doesn't matter if 5% of your infrastructure is owned by them and 95% by you. If they can pull that 5%, they can pull the lot down. So Ickonic was built and it came along, basically from November, 2019, and then the world went mental just a couple of months later. So we've kind of been at the coalface a bit from the very beginning, in terms of trying to get information out there and trying to get whistle-blowers testimonies out there and all that sort of stuff. So, and it's quite funny to be honest, Peter, cause I'm looking at things now that are widely accepted. And it's like, mate. People like me and people like you were talking about that three years ago and, being sent tinfoil hat memes. But there you go, but we keep plodding along don't we? I thought this was funny the other day because I don't know what your feelings are on this actually Pete because I've not spoke to you about it, but the Lucy Letby case is a bit, there's more to know there isn't there? This convicted child serial killer here in England, there's certainly more to know about that case. And I saw, oh goodness me, what's his name, writes for The Daily Mail, was very good during covid at the start and then went a bit quiet, Im trying to remember his name now, his Twitter handle is ClarkeMicah, oh man, whats his name. My brains gone. It will come to me in a minute, he wrote an article anyway in The Mail this week, 'Why is no-one talking about the Lucy Letby case?, I wish someone else would talk about it It's like, yeah, we have been. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know.  Hitchens, Peter Hitchens. That was it.  Peter Hitchens. Um, no, but a lot of these issues, you end up shouting the TV saying, we were saying that two years ago, three years ago, why did you not, and suddenly it's accepted. And I know, I know.  Yeah, exactly. Vaccines being a huge one of them, you know, that, that kind of stuff is funny that you have, well, not funny, actually, it's, it's absolutely disgusting, but you have people like Sarah Kayat, who came on national TV and said that these are 100% safe and effective. They do this, they do that. People would have gone and got shot as a result of that and are now paying the price. And even though she was proven incorrect, she's still on telly now. And people like you and me get censored and deleted off stuff and whatever, and it's like... It's funny because we're literally not telling anyone to do anything. We just say, you've got to ask questions, that's it. When you've got a blood clot or heart attack it's a bit too late to question what you've done so, but yeah. So much and actually wanted to chat to you today about restrictions on travel with those who have a dissenting voice or different view. And of course this, your father was banned from traveling to the Netherlands back in November last year, I think it was, for a freedom demo. And we'll get on to that specific, but I think probably back a couple of years ago, pre-COVID, I would have thought it's important for a government to be able to ban bad people coming in. You don't want people to disrupt the country. We need that mechanism in place. Now my opinion's gone the other way because I think at that point I trusted, institutions or governments to an extent now that's completely gone out the window. Well I think the thing is as well with you know these people that are apparently in positions of power that they're not really in positions of power at all which is why they need to try and silence people because I always think that comes from a position of weakness. It's like I'll only fight you in the ring if you have your hands tied behind your back. You wouldn't be doing that if you were confident, that's ridiculous. So when you've got things like the online safety bill going through at the moment, they're controlling the narrative in terms of tech companies and they're controlling the narrative in terms of what people can say online. You can, you know, non-person people which is what they obviously tried to do with Alex Jones. But what you can't do then is stop someone taking to the street with a bullhorn and just putting their view out there so all of a sudden you're stopping people from traveling as well. The thing with my dad, it was insane, he was asked to speak at an anti-war rally. Right, so he was literally just going to fly into Amsterdam, speak at an anti-war rally, fly home, probably the next day, done. But they caused such a hoo-ha about it that they actually not only banned him from Holland for two years, they banned him from 26 other European nations, which are part of something called the Schengen List. And what people don't realise is, obviously, my dad was already banned from Australia, but countries like Canada and countries like America, the USA, they take the Schengen list as red. So you might well be banned from 26 European countries, but you try and go in America, you're banned from there as well, Sunshine. So he's essentially banned from, you know, and New Zealand is another nation that does the same, takes the same thing. So you're essentially banned from a large percentage of the world. Well, certainly the parts of the world that speak English that you can converse with you know, easily, for wanting to attend an anti-war rally. And what's crazy, is that they basically, you know, they made up all these allegations, all of which were completely false. They ruled on those allegations and he was banned. So then some solicitors, some lawyers in Holland took umbrage with it and so they actually worked for free, they weren't even hired. They were like, no, we're not having this. So they appealed on behalf of my dad. And so we were all watching it as the Dutch government had to basically make their case to the judge. And so they were, you know, saying all this stuff. And it was funny because the, Dutch lawyers on my dads side were literally just, they were throwing tennis balls and they were just smacking everyone out of the park. And it was actually quite, it was almost painful to watch, Peter, I actually almost felt bad for the government, right, because their spokesman that was there was so confused and lost, he didn't really know what was going on. And so all these accusations were all knocked out the park, rubbish, this is rubbish, here's the evidence, why it's rubbish, blah blah. So in the end it ended up with one thing, which was my dad had said that people, and this was in a documentary Renegade that was like made years and years ago, where he was saying that we the many, we the population, we the world population need to put down our fault lines of race and colour and sexuality and income bracket and all this bollocks and we need to stand as one against those that are basically trying to rule all of us by dividing us and then ruling us. We need to stand up, we need to come together. That was apparently a rallying cry against government which is therefore terrorism. Wow.  So I'm laughing, honestly, I'm watching it and I'm laughing. We've got Chrissy, my dad's partner, she's Dutch, so she's translating it and I'm laughing because I'm going, oh mate, they are in big trouble here, this is hilarious. And then the judge goes, yeah, yeah, sounds about right, yeah, bang. So upholds it, right? And so there was the other appeal which took place, about a week ago, where again, they had to rule and they were supposed to give their verdict. They then made my dad wait 10 weeks. So, you know, he can't travel anywhere for 10 weeks. And then they came in with a verdict saying with the judge who doesn't even lift her head up because she's so bloody shamed. The, yeah, if the government says you're a danger, then yeah, you're a danger. So yeah, you're banned still.  So that's what's come out now that they, they agree. And because he was banned because I read different things, it's always fun to read what the BBC, what the mainstream media are saying, and then you understand where they're coming from, that he was a risk to public order. I think he said, the BBC said he would cause tensions between different groups and disrupt public order. And that's a, you're right, that's a red flag to any, if any government sees this individual is a risk to public order. You don't want them in your country. So it would make sense for every other country to follow that judgment, that statement.  Well, that's the thing. But what was, what was funny about that is I got an email, it actually came to me. So they notified him that he was banned from 26 European countries by emailing his son. Right. I got the email. It's extraordinary. So it's in Dutch. So obviously I don't speak Dutch. So I sent it across to Christiana. I was like, what does this say? So then she came back saying, this is insane. They're using anti-terror legislation to ban him. So I was like, oh my goodness me, that's extraordinary. So I then went public with that. I was like, I've just got an email from the Dutch saying that they're banning him from 26 nations based on anti-terrorism legislation and a danger to public order and a danger to society. I then just got jumped on by loads of your Matthew Sweet, that BBC knobhead, people like that all jumping on me going, oh the Dutch, did they all email you together? It's like. You know what I meant, dickhead. You know what I meant. And then a Dutch newspaper got in touch with me basically, you know, trying to fact check it saying that no, they didn't say he was a terrorist. I didn't say they said he was a terrorist. I said it was anti-terror legislation, which is what they were using to ban him. I've literally got the email, mate. And he wouldn't let go, this guy. And in the end he did, you know, because obviously he realized, because then they actually started during the appeal using the word terrorism. So at that point, I think he had he had to crawl back under his little rock. But for a while he was on my case, this this Dutch journalist guy. And when I say on my case, I mean, like replying to my tweets underneath saying that's not true. It's like, read the email now, mate. And so, you know, they all kind of, sort of, went for me a little bit about announcing it, which was hilarious to me, because it's like, hang on a minute, so I've just told you that a man who's never been, accused of a crime, has never been investigated for a crime, has never been tried for a crime, certainly never therefore convicted for a crime, is banned from 26 countries because he wanted to attend an anti-war rally, and your issue with it is the fact that I use the term the Dutch, not the fact that this is happening, this is a man in his 70s, do you know what I mean? Like, what the hell are you on about? And it kind of puts things into perspective as well. When I saw, you know, this whole outcry with the whole Russell Brand thing. Now, I found that weird, if I'm honest, Peter, because none of us know if he's guilty or not. I don't know what he's like. I don't know him. I don't know what he's like around women. I know he's a bit of a sleazeball. That doesn't mean, of course, he's a rapist, but yeah, he's a bit of a sleazeball. Can I believe? Yeah, of course I could. But can I believe someone's setting him up? Yeah, I can believe that as well. I don't have the answers. Therefore, my opinion is, I don't know. Let's see what happens. Whereas lots of people within the alternative or so called alternative, if you can call GB news alternative, all jumped on this whole he must be innocent thing. And I, remember reading it thinking, What are you doing? You haven't got a clue if he's innocent or not. This is extraordinary. Like, wow, man, this is madness. Yeah, none of them said anything when my dad got banned from 26 countries didn't say a word. So it's like, you know, this guy who's a multi multi millionaire is demonetized by YouTube. Yeah, that's wrong. But you're kicking off about that, but you're not bothered about a man who's banned from 26 countries. It's quite odd to me, actually, how people can pick and choose who they wish to defend and who they don't wish to defend in terms of freedom. It's, you know, freedom for everyone or freedom for no one, surely.  No, it is. And I'm exactly the same line as you on the Brand issue, on the sidelines. And I'm amazed how commentators and journalists suddenly become experts at whatever topic is thrown at them without looking at it. They just overnight, they suddenly know all about the case. That is impossible and frustrating. It's very strange. And it's on both sides as well, mate. Like, you know, that's what I said in my monologue last week and I've got a little bit of ear 'ole grief for that. But it was that the fact that you can decide, we're now at a point as a society, we can decide whether someone is guilty or not of sexual assault based on what their politics are and whether we agree with them or not. That's mental. So people will look at Russell Brand and go, oh, he's a conspiracy theorist. Yeah, he's definitely a wrongun and guilty. And then the other side will go, no, no, no, no. He was anti-jab. He can't be guilty. What do you mean? It's just madness. The only people that know whether he's guilty or not is him and the people that are accusing him. So the idea of jumping, you know, I mean, innocent until proven guilty, of course, you know, having the government write to people like Rumble to try and get him taken off and demonetized, that's extraordinary. And I'm bang against that. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Brand, but that doesn't matter. Bang against that, that's outrageous. But the idea that people, like you say, can comment and say that he's innocent. You haven't got a clue, mate. None of us do.  Well, that is obviously, I guess at some point or other will go through the courts. So we'll touch on the social media side a bit more. On the travel side, I was intrigued because obviously there is pressure from left-wing governments and individuals to restrict the movement of other people. We've seen that over the last three years and this was a two-year travel ban. And it says actually the Amsterdam's Mayor, Police and Prosecutors Office asked originally the demonstration organizers to uninvite Mr. Icke for his hurtful statements. I didn't know a hurtful. Something you say may hurt someone's feelings. So it's basically if someone's feelings are hurt then that must ban you from world travel. Wow. You can't say anything now without hurting someone's feelings though. Do you know what I mean? If you say that a woman can't have a cock, that's offending someone. It's just madness. And also, who cares if people are offended? Like, honestly, who cares? It's just words, man. Like, I see things all the time that I think of a bang out of order and disgusting. I think having men shake their naked arses in front of kids in the street pretty frickin disgusting. But, do you know what I mean. I don't see these people getting banned from nations. It's extraordinary. It really is very, we're in a real, we're in a real weird place. But I also think that we're in a weird place because there is a fear there within the establishment that people are waking up massively on a much, much bigger scale. And I think they were starting to wake up. I think we've discussed this before, people were waking up even before the Rona. The Rona just absolutely accelerated it because people started to smell a rat and also people sat at home and had more time to look at stuff that they'd never looked at before. And it would start to resonate with them, hang on, I might be on to something. And so it feels very much like they're just trying to get the stable door shut. And part of that will be to do with shutting up the other side. You know, shut them up online, don't talk to them on the mainstream media, only ever have your voices on the mainstream media, ban them from countries so they can't travel and speak to people in person. You know, I mean, they've been doing that to my dad long before they banned him from traveling. You know, the fact that he's touring around the UK at the minute, and it's called the secret tour where the loca... I don't even know the locations, Peter. I don't even know where they are. It's that hush-hush that I don't even know where the venues are. So people will message me like a couple of days before Oh, you couldn't give us a heads up, could you? And even if it's people I know, Peter, and I've known for years and I trust them, I'm like, mate, I don't even know. I don't even know. That's how cloak and dagger it has to be because, if these anti-hate organisations find out where they are, they will harass and threaten the venues. That's what they do. They contact the venues, they say, he's this, he's that, don't put him on. And if the people then have the courage to go either, well, that's not true. I've read his books, or, well, I believe in free speech, then they threaten the staff. And that's what they do. We can't, they use very, very clever terminology. They say, well, we can't guarantee the safety of your staff then based on X, Y, and Z. And they just plants that seed. So, a venue organizer will be, Oh, geez, I mean, I've got to protect my staff. Sorry. Sorry, boys. I've got to pull it, you know.  It's true. It is that commercial pressure and no one wants their building smashed up, but also is this, the whole question I think regarding, one regarding the social media side, but also regarding the courts, which we've seen is, who's the arbitrator of truth, or what is permitted speech, and we have all these words thrown around, misinformation and disinformation, and then we have the fact checking, so the government tell us what is accepted and what is not. This is brand new this level of government alliance of what is permitted and what is not and if you fall in one category and then there is there is punishment and I guess this is the government obviously with the online safety bill trying to catch up with the scope and range and reach that the internet provides.  Yeah and the thing is as well is it's you know it's it's cleverly designed currently to be cheered on by one side. So people who identify as left leaning at the minute will be cheering on the online safety bill because it's sold to protect them from far right extremists and protect their kids from grooming and all this kind of stuff when it's obviously doing nothing of the sort. But what these people don't realise is that these left leaning people that are now cheering it on with the same left leaning people that were being marginalised and shut up because they were calling out the invasion of Iraq not that long ago. And so narrative switch and they shift and governments are very, very contradictory. And so these people that are cheering it on now it will come and bite them in the arse in two years, three years, four years. And you know, it's the same thing you have all the time. It's that first they came for. So I mean, the people are so short sighted, it's extraordinary. Everyone should be defending free speech. I can't stand a lot of nonsense that comes out of people. But they should be able to say it. Because I shouldn't expect free speech if they can't have it, it's not how it exists. Everyone should be able to speak freely and their ideas out in the open and debated. This is the thing that people don't seem to realize as well, by shutting people up and silencing people and marginalizing people, you don't stop them thinking a certain way, you just drive them underground. And so actually, what you'll end up doing is creating extremists. And that's not hard to do that if you start making people feel like they don't have a voice. It's that whole, what is it, riots are the language of the unheard or whatever. And that can go to even bigger extremes than that. I feel like it's a really important time at the moment. It's a really important time. And, you know, it's interesting, you mentioned about these, these anti hate groups and these fact checkers, because they are up to their neck in it. They're political organizations. You know, I just saw the other day, you've got the Centre for countering digital hate, which is an organization that's pushed massively for the online safety bill, Damien Collins, who is a big cheerleader, he's a he's a member of that organization. And the front man of that organization, Imran Ahmed, no one knows anything really about him. I mean, he's a former investment banker. He was a spin doctor for Angela Eagle when she was standing against Corbyn. But what they don't realize is, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. They're an independent organization. Okay. Why then on Companies House is Imran Ahmed still a director of Labour Campaigns Limited? So you've got a guy that's the director of an organization on one side of the political sphere in the UK, while his other organization that's independent, is shutting down debate and shutting down people that are saying anything against the narrative. I mean, it's extraordinary that it's there in black and white for people to see, yet The BBC, Sky News, whoever, even CNN and MSNBC have rolled out Imran Ahmed on the regular, to give his opinion on hate, the state of hate. I've got my name in that this year, state of hate. It's a badge of honour.  We were in it one year and then a second year and it was a bigger piece. And I really wanted to write to hope not hate and say, uh, really excited that we're growing in presence. Please let us know what we could do better next year to have a larger spread, because I would like a double page spread. What do I need to do to do that? And just mock them.  Well, that's the thing. I mean, it's also, you know, they're always what they accuse you of. So you look at these silencing organisations, these narrative managing organisations, they're full of hate, like they're absolutely full of hate. The way that they talk about people and the things they say about people and the emotions that they evoke in other people against these people. Is just hatred and then you actually look at the people they're saying are hate figures and most of them are just freedom fighters that have not got a hateful bone in their body. You know, it really is extraordinary. It really is extraordinary. We are in an inverted world. I think we've lost, you talk about the media and we've lost that investigative journalism that you would have thought decades ago where hard work would have been done as a scoop and even if it went against the norm or against a newspaper's editorial that there was an ability to put that out. That seems to have gone and certainly in the last three years I guess it will continue where the media becomes a mouthpiece of the government whether it's COVID, whether it's online safety bill, whatever the next thing is. They will simply do what they are told and that's a level, certainly we haven't witnessed in our lifetime.  No, there's still some about trying to do good stuff, but like you say, they get bizarrely marginalised and maligned and attacked for going against the tribe. One of them, I think, Max Blumenthal was one of them, who was a darling of the left when he was calling out Israel, as he continues to do. Yet when COVID hit and everyone started wetting their sheets and he started calling out draconian measures and restrictions and mask mandates and jab mandates. Well, Max has lost his mind. No, he hasn't. No, he hasn't. He's exactly the same man as he was before, which was trying to call out wrongdoing. And now, obviously, he runs the grey zone. The the the left is now Slava Ukraine. So they they just they think he's really gone off the deep end just because he's now calling out NATO, but you were calling out NATO. It's just the narrative shifted within your tribe and you didn't leave your tribe because that's what I belong as. That's my social media. I'll have to update my bio if I leave the tribe. It's hard work that. So they have to stay within the confines of that tribe. And it's the same on the right. Don't get me wrong. People have mental gymnastics to explain away things. I mean, the Trumpsters are kings of that. When he pushed the jab. What? When he didn't pardon Julian Assange? What? What's that? I'm sorry, I've got to go. Do you know what I mean? Like people, they don't want to... No, no, no, he just did that because... Deep state and that. Like people have these mental gymnastics too because they don't want to admit that actually, okay, you know, your tribe is faltering as well, you know. That's why I'm not part of a tribe, Peter.  No, I think people see Messiah figures everywhere and that's the danger whenever you lift people up to that level and don't see them as leaders but as flawed individuals who can screw up at any moment. It's a very dangerous position to be in and you see that on both sides, your right, left and right. Well that's one concern I had with the whole Russell Brand thing, you know, there was two sides to it which was he's definitely guilty because he's a wrong un and then he's anti-vax and he's definitely innocent because he's on our side. Those are the two seem to be the suit polar extremes. And then I'm thinking in the middle of it, I'm thinking, well, I don't really trust this guy. I've never really trusted Russell Brand. He's invented himself more times than Cher. He just kind of tries to find a little, you know, little gap in the market. Or, you know, what can I what can I how can I exploit that free or, you know, the alternative freedom movements growing, that's quite popular, their money's as worth as much as anyone else's, right? I'll get myself in there. You know, I can remember the times when he was being chucked in the fountain at Trafalgar Square, people seem to forget that he, was trying to sort of, you know, co-op that sort of stuff as well. And people saw through him then. And so I'm looking at it and I'm going, do you know what? if you wanted to infiltrate a movement. What better way than being attacked and taken down by the establishment? It gives you some credibility. If you're going undercover into an organization, the police will give you a kicking, the police will arrest you, even if you're an undercover copper, because it gives you then more validity to the group that you're infiltrating. So there's a little part of that. And then I'm looking at it, I'm thinking the freedom movement, whatever you want to call it, it doesn't need leaders. I've never believed it. The truth is just the truth. And the more people that speak it, the more the world will improve, I think and the more people will be held accountable, but it doesn't need leaders It doesn't need that Messiah complex. Like you say everyone along you get make a statue of him doesn't need any of that nonsense, Yet, we've been given leaders. We didn't ask for him I don't know if you asked for Andrew Tate to be a spokesman for our movement. I certainly didn't, I mean, I didn't ask for Andrew Tate. I didn't ask for for Russell Brand to be you know, the spokesman for our organization, our movement and our freedom and our awakening yet we were given them and now we're watching them systematically getting taken down and in some ways taking some of us, not me and you because we've kept our powder dry on it because we don't know the answer, but it will take down a lot of people. Russell Brands, you know, if he is investigated and he is found guilty and he has been up to no good, How are some of these social commentators and some of these TV presenters? I mean this game over mate.  No, my I mean my on both, on both Tate and Brand my huge issue is when individuals are as narcissistic as that, whenever it is purely, and we've both met all great people over the last three years in all of this. And to meet people who are high profile, but also humble, and it's not about them, but it's about the issue. You really warm to that, but then you look at the Brands and Tates of this world, I think that level of narcissism just really turns me off. Yeah, it's, you know, for me, I'm always looking forward. So it's like, how can we make this world a better place? And, you know, I look at, like you've said, some people we've met during this time, people like Dr. Cartland, people that have lost everything and spoken out the whole time is incredible. And, you know, if my, like my daughter was poorly the other day and I was flying solo, so I just get proper paranoid. She was all like, she'd got a real temperature and I was just like,  so I just messaged Dr. Cartland, I sent him a video of her while she was sleeping, with her breathing and stuff like that. He's messaging me back, he's checking up the next morning, how is she, you know. So I mean, it's just like, these are genuine people. And then, and then the ones that are promoted, like you say, yeah, like, oh, here I am with my, you know, Bugatti. I don't give a shit, mate. Give a shit. What are you on about? It's just, that's not what this is about. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's extraordinary. And, you know, both of them are quite guilty of having this whole sort of word salad nonsense as well, where they would just chat away word salad that had a few long words in it so it makes them sound intelligent. But actually half the time they're not saying anything and half the time they're only saying things that people that get banned from 26 countries were saying years and years years and years ago. There's nothing new there, you know, it's and what makes me laugh a little bit, I have to say, is that, you know, Brand will be put on the mainstream media brand will be, will be pushed and, you know, how many million on this network and how many million on this social platform. Because he's a socially approved freedom fighter, but then they won't touch my dad, because it's too dangerous. You can't touch an Icke, it'll backfire on you if you touch an Icke. And it's like, or that's not how it ended up there, is it? That's not how it ended up. Do you know what I mean? So it's like, people will speak out on behalf of Brand because it's the safe thing to do. I'm not sure it is really. I'm not sure it is at all. No, when someone gets a free pass on social media, you always wonder. I wonder looking at YouTube, but those who don't have strikes, who can say what they like, and I'm thinking, I'm sure they said exactly what I was saying, and yet I got hit. And that protected status makes you wonder where they've come from and why they're there. Well, exactly. Yeah. I mean, you know, there's uproar, like you say that he's been demonetized from by YouTube and you think, but you know, if my dad even has a video that someone interviews him and they put on YouTube, they delete it straight away. To the point where when people want to get my dad on YouTube, anonymous have done it a couple of times where they've featured him, they will they will edit his voice, they make it sound really deep, and they doctor the voice so it gets past the algorithm. So on one hand, you've got someone who's got algorithms of their voice set up so that they can't even say a bloody word on YouTube. And then on the other hand, you've got someone that you've just demonetized. And it's kind of, you know, I don't agree with either of those things, but the fact that some are very happy to put their careers on the line to stick up for one, but don't say a word on the other, I find quite odd. Oh yeah, 100%. Can I go back and look at the legal side, which we started on, and that's, used in regards to the freedom of social media and battles happening between what people can and cannot say and what restrictions there are. But how have you seen, we've seen the battles on COVID restrictions, on fines and lockdowns, and those have, I don't see them as been massively successful through the courts. You've obviously watched over the last year with your father going through the court system there. How have you seen that? Because again, the court, you have to have a way of pushing back against that level of government tyranny. Have the courts worked in that regard as you've seen or not at all?  Not really, not from what I've seen. I've seen the odd victory here and there on an individual level maybe in terms of a job reinstatement or, suing an employer for wrongful dismissal or something like that but on the largest scale, you know, these people own the courts. Like I said, the ruling on my dad, the judge doesn't even look up. If you took her out to a wine bar and you went out the back to a private room and just said, look, no one can hear what you're saying in here, she would almost certainly be like, yeah, I think it's nonsense, outrageous. Yeah, but that's not what you ruled. That's not what you ruled, and that's not what the one ruled before when they were trying to say that he was a terrorist and all this sort of stuff. If you get these people on their own, then they would probably go, yeah, I don't agree with it, but it's more than my job's worth. And that's what a lot of these people are like. They just don't realize that actually this is coming for them in the end. It's coming for their kids and their grandkids as well. And it's so massively short-sighted, which is why I find people like Dr Cartland so great because they are, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause, whereas others aren't. And unfortunately, these are people in positions that actually could make a difference. If you could have a judge that could rule and have a real landmark ruling for freedom, then that could send ripples, but no one seems to have the courage to do it. Were you given any access? I think part of my concern also is that decisions are made behind closed doors or access is not given to the rulings, to the conversations, how they came up with that. You've got like a final, this is it. You're not allowed to say that. You're not allowed to travel here. You're not allowed to be on that platform. And you don't actually know, if you don't know how the person has got there, there is no way to reason or push back. How was it in this case, in the Netherlands?  Oh, exactly the same, mate. Basically, my dad was in the office. He was like, right, I've got to go in now and I'll get the ruling. He knew what the ruling would be. Everyone sat in the office, knew what the ruling would be. It's obvious, you know. Um, so he literally just went in there, sat in the office, got told by the judge what the ruling was, and then within 10 minutes walked out of the office again. There's no involvement in any way of where that decision making has come from. You know, you've, it's stupid really, because you've had to wait 10 weeks for someone to tell you what you already knew they were going to say. They could have just sent you a WhatsApp voice note saying, yeah, you're not coming in son. Save my time.  Or drop you an email.  Yeah. Yeah. From the Dutch. But that's the thing, isn't it? We knew what the answer would be. There's no involvement on that decision-making process, but there never is. You think about COVID, Johnson would just come out and stand at that podium at 5 PM and tell you what the situation was going to be. There was never any, input. There was never a referendum on any restriction. No one got a say in anything. We're just listening to the experts, those ones with hundreds of thousands of shares in pharmaceutical companies, those experts, I saw this, actually, this is GB news, right? Because I know what we're saying earlier about GB news being alternative, right? So GB news put an article out about how an expert was saying that this, that this COVID strain was going to do x, y, and z. And this was going to be worse than whatever, and millions more would die. I don't know who the other millions are before, but apparently millions more are gonna die. And it says it in the headline, expert. So I'm like, right, okay, well, I'm gonna look who the expert is. So I had a look at the expert, expert was, it's a financial consultant that was part of procuring the first round of vaccines. Wow. So it's a businesswoman.  But it said COVID expert. I don't even know what that means. I mean, surely me and you are COVID experts after three years of this nonsense, but it's just funny, isn't it? Because people don't read the small print. They don't. People just see headlines and they know that. They know that's why they do it. So you put that in the headline. The amount of times you see a headline, you go, oh my God, you read the story, which most people don't and you go, well, that's not what they said at all. That's not, that's not even what the story is, but people read headlines. That's what they do. And there was a on, on GB news. One thing was stuck with me when the Brand situation came out and he had talked about online safety bill as a reason why he was being restricted and banned and GB news said, well, he is, you said the online safety bill was become law, which is not true. No, it more or less. I mean, what, what is King Charles not going to stamp it? It's passed. It is what going to become, but they were putting that doubt in people's mind. And again, I thought, no, that is, that, that is misinformation. That is saying something which isn't true just to discredit someone. And I thought journalists are supposed to delve a little bit deeper, but no.  No, they don't. They don't. And the thing is with, I always think with alternative organisation or so-called alternative, The litmus test really, on a personal level, is whether they'll touch a member of our family or not. Cause it's, it's the most offensive four letter word in the world at the moment, our surname. Right. So I got asked to go on to, I think you were there when I got asked, I think it might've been when we were in Gibraltar, I got asked to go onto GB news and I laughed and I laughed. I went right. Yeah. Okay. I'll talk to anyone, me. So I was like, right. Okay. Let's, I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen, right? What they're gonna do is they're gonna start advertising it. And then I'll get a message saying, I'm sorry. We double booked you. That's what I think is going to happen. So, it was Jen that I was talking to, she was like, well, maybe, but we'll go for it anyway. I was like, all right, fine. So I was out walking with my mate, we walked from Chesterfield to Sheffield, which anyone that knows England, that's quite a stomp, right? About 20 miles.  On one of your crazy walks.  On one of my crazy walks. Yeah. So so me and my mate are stomping along. Now I'm supposed to be in London the next morning to go and do this GB news thing. I knew it wasn't happening. So I've got a hotel in Sheffield for the night before, right? Worst case scenario, if I'd have got up in the morning, and it was still on, I would have just hopped on on the train straight down, bosh and I'd have done it, it'd have been fine. But I wasn't gonna put myself out. I wasn't gonna get a hotel there the night before or anything like that, because I knew, whatever. So then I got a message saying, oh, can you plug it? Because they're gonna plug the interview now. I went, all right, mate, yeah, no worries. So I put it on my social media, right? I sat down, this was at Rother Valley Country Park, it's about 50%, about 50% of the walk through. There's a nice country pub there. Do a good pizza and a pint, right? So me and my mate sat there. The time it took me to tuck into a pizza, which anyone that knows me, ain't long, right? Bosh, I already had a message, right? Oh, there isn't a show this week actually, there's made a mistake. I went, all right, so I was gonna go for the double book, but okay, isn't the show this week? That's slightly left field, but either way I've been cancelled, right? About 10 minutes after it's been announced. And then weirdly enough on the next day, there was a show, there was a show, weirdly enough, just didn't have me on it, right? And I just thought then, do you know what I mean? I'm not, I don't say anything offensive. I'm not going to come on telly and effing Jeff and, And, you know. Anything else, you know, but what's happened is you've announced that it's on and you've got a phone call pretty quickly. Because of the surname, you're not having it, you know. Yet you have these other people that are apparently going to change the world, they can get their faces on every TV screen and they can get a microphone in front of their face whenever they want.   No, but actually the flip side of that is, that's why we do generally pre-records. We do the Saturday evening live and it's with guests. We kind of have on semi-regularly, but other guests, because you put out that you're doing a live and then they phone up and say, oh, I've had all these complaints or I'm being attacked or I'm really sorry. I can't do it. And generally, if that happens, the guest you're going to have on is surprised at the vitriol they've got from some hope not hate somewhere. And they don't want to get the shit. I get that. I don't want to give them that either, but that's why it's often, you're probably the same doing pre records. Cause then it's in the bag and it will go out. Well, we, yeah. I mean, early in doing the show here, I would do, you know, a little video a couple of days before, you know, on the show this week, we've got Joe blogs, we've got X, Y, Z, X.Y, you know, any questions you want to ask them, you know, whatever, that kind of thing to get a bit of sort of audience participation. And then that happened to us a lot, the same thing. These people are just get attacked and whatever, and then you'd soon have a cancellation email. So we're the same mate. We interview people, we do the show, it's all done. And then we'll do a promo and put that out publicly once it's all in the bag. Cause yeah, you're right. You know, we've had people before involved in politics, people that are involved with the NHS. That have cancelled on us because they've got ear 'ole grief, you know, which is extraordinary, really. I think it would happen less so now, but in the early days of the Rona, when everyone was petrified to say boo to a goose, that it happened all the time, mate, all the time. There were, you know, it was funny, because once where I ended up interviewing Rich Willett, right, who's a mate, but he was actually doing, you know, he was releasing a documentary. So it was a decent enough interview to talk about a documentary, about the freedom of speech and about the war of the words and how the media was, you know, controlling the narrative. So it was, it was a cool interview. And I always like to talk to Rich anyway, but I got like some grief online. I will be, people are subscribing to see you talk to your mate. And I'm thinking, well, one, it's an interesting interview, but two, there was about three other guests that all bottled it. And so in the end, you're sat here and you go, right, so. We either don't have a show or we do something different, which is what we did. People, particularly in the early days, wouldn't have a clue of the amount of times I was sat at the desk behind me with my head in my hands because we lost another guest for that reason. I'm surprised how much people want an easy life. I still am because I thought I was compliant to an extent and then I've realized I don't really give a shit and enjoy that fight, enjoy that pushback. If someone says you can't do this, I'll say I'm going to do it. I'm surprised that most other people are really, they just, they just fit in and that spark, that fight, maybe it's just been battered out of them over the years. A little bit. I mean, I guess, yeah, a little bit, it's been battered out of people where people are just kind of, you know, weary of the battle really and done with it. But on, the other hand, I think it can go the other way. Like, so for me, I took loads of shite as a kid, which wasn't very pleasant in the media and all that kind of stuff. And some people could then, you know, call themselves, you know, where is the result of all that nonsense and want to quite always want to be no, I just want to be me. I want to be no, I just want to be known as me rather than someone else's son. Do you know what I mean? And I get that. I've felt like that, you know, can I just be myself, please? And, you know, even now I still get stuff going on, you know, your, your dad's is like one guy commentated, you know, he was on one of the what's up podcast clips. I mean, rich, just having a laugh. It's a joke. It's a comedy podcast. And we put this, this clip out and this guy replied saying, you know, your dad was a genius. He's doing this and that. And you're just acting like an effing idiot. And it's like, yeah, it's almost like I'm not him, isn't it? So it's almost like I'm not him.  You're a person.  Yeah. Imagine that. But I, but I look at that now, that time as a kid and how brutal that was. And I think that was, that was my basic training. So actually the idea of what people think the idea and the fact that I spent time in a wheelchair as a kid as well, obviously getting all the grief that you'd get for that, that kind of knocked out of you as well. It knocked out that, giving a monkeys what people think. Do you know what I mean? People say, I've got a problem with you, and you go, okay, I haven't. Good luck. You're the one with the problem then. You've just said you've got a problem with me. Yes, that's right. You've got a problem. I'll see you later. Yeah, leave it with them. Can I just, final thought, can I just ask you about the legal side? Where does it go? The difficulty I guess we all have is which legal avenues will do something which is against what the government are telling them to do. So that must restrict, because people say, you know, if you have a legal battle and you fail, then you can go to the next level, the next level. Kind of, what are your thoughts when something happens like your dad on that restriction? Do you just have to then accept it or what? That's a good question. The minute I don't know, I mean, you can just appeal again and again and again, but you, smacking the mic over, but you know what's coming back. It's just another judge with the same, not making eye contact thing, you know, I mean, sure, you know, you could go, people go, you need to go to the court of human rights, you can go to this and go to that. And you look at them thinking, really, you don't think they're owned? Like, no, there's no independent body within any of these organizations. So, you know, because the, these cult so called elites are so weak, really, and so paranoid that they have to own all 22 players and the referee just to make sure they can win the game because they know they can't win it otherwise. I think the trick in the end will be basically stepping away from the game, stepping out of the stadium and actually having no part of it, which is how I am politically. You know, people say, oh, you don't vote. You've got no right to say anything. Yeah, I have. I have. I've got a choice between AIDS and cancer. Why would I do that? And so there are more and more people that can say no to it and just step away from all of these organisations. Oh, you've got to do that, that's how it's done. Is it? Does it have to be? Does it have to be how it's done? And if there's enough people, again, this is the thing, Peter, that comes down to it's numbers game all the time, isn't it? You know, March, 2020, you're locking down. No, you're not. No, you're not. If enough people said that, it was over before it even started. But unfortunately people let the wolf in the front door and then they cry when the wolf's going through their mom's wardrobe. Well, of course they are. You let them in the door, what did you expect was gonna happen? And that's the thing, isn't it? It's a case of drawing a line and say, no, not doing it. You know, and if you're going to bring in gender theory and critical race theory and all this bullshit in the school, you fill your boots, mate, but I'm taking my kids out. And then you see how many academies survive when there's 14 kids in a school year because everyone else has taken them out. And that's what has to happen. You know, people, there's that whole thing, isn't it? Oh yeah, we're going to lose cash. Do you use cash? No? Okay. And everyone has that point. There's things I buy sometimes that I can't afford. I don't have the cash and I might have to put it on a credit card. So I'm not going to be one of those people pontificating. But at the same time, if you can use cash and you've got the cash in the bank, take it out and use it. Or don't complain that it's being taken away. These are the things that we can do. You look at even with Rumble, you go, right, who's pulled support from Rumble? Okay, ASOS, right, well, I don't buy ASOS clothes anymore then. Burger King, nope, don't eat Burger King anymore. You know, I don't eat Burger King anyway, but that's where people can make a difference, you know, because I would occasionally, because I refuse Starbucks, one, because they're a horrendous organization, two, because the coffee's shit and bitter, so I'm not a fan of it. But I would have a Costa fairly regularly, every other day, probably. I've not had one since they're promoting double mastectomies. And so, you know, someone might watch this and go, oh, I bet they're well terrified that they're not getting their 12 pound a week off you. Maybe not, but if there's 100,000 like me, they might be a little bit terrified. And that's the point, isn't it? And that's what we need to do. We need to, because I'm not all for cancel culture at all. You're free to sell your coffee, I just won't buy it. And that's what I think people need to do. Because they're using this way of to try and destroy us and to try and destroy Rumble and anyone else that's on Rumble. At the end of the day, Russell Brand is just the face of it. But if Rumble goes down, ain't Russell Brand that's getting taken down. It's everyone on there. So it's much bigger than him. Um, and all these things are much bigger than him and much bigger than Tate and all these names that were given, like I say, these, you know, beware of false prophets and all that. But I think that's where we can make a stand. We can avoid using these organizations and avoid giving them our money. You know, why would you give money to people that have absolute contempt for you? 100%. And that's a perfect ending to finish on something we can do, because often we feel powerless or individuals can feel, but actually we all have economic power and power to choose where we go, who we shop with, who we connect with.  So yeah, absolutely. Yeah. We have the power to either go along with stuff or not as well, because, you know, even with masks and and all that stuff that they're going to try and bring back. Just don't go along with it. Yeah, I wasn't. I was walking into shops and I wasn't wearing them. I never wore one in a shop. I was going into pubs, you know, when they were making you stand up and put one on if you need the toilet. I never did any of that. And guess what? Nothing happened. You can just say no. Yes. Gareth, I appreciate it's always good to chat to you. Thank you so much for coming on and sharing not only the restrictions on the social media side, but what's been happening with your dad and his travel restrictions and that court ruling. So thanks so much for joining us today. That's a pleasure, mate. I did say to my dad as well, when they lift the ban, we're all going to chip in to take him on a Viking river cruise. So that's going to save me a few quid now that they've not left it. That sounds a great live stream, a Viking river cruise. Thanks so much, Gareth. Cheers, mate. Take care. Bye, mate.

Show notes and Transcript... Dr David Cartland joins Hearts of Oak once again to discuss his ongoing battles as a wide awake doctor.  For over 2 years he has had to fight, not only for his credibility in the NHS but for his continued employment.  He shares his ongoing battle with the GMC (General Medical Council) who seek to destroy GP's on the basis of random complaints about their social media posts.  In the middle of this skirmish, David finds himself 'persona non grata' and struggles to find locum jobs as a doctor in a country that is in desperate need for medical professionals.  We end with Dr Cartland sharing the many stories he hears each day of horrific vaccine injuries. Dr David Cartland (MBChB MRCGP) is a fully qualified doctor and GP. He is also one of the most censored professionals in the UK. Dr Cartland has a 1st class degree in Biomedical science including a year of specialist immunology and microbiology/virology training that included statistical analysis, and it is this area of expertise that has had particular relevance and value in allowing him to professionally assess the mass of government, NHS, MHRA, pharmaceutical and ONS data on Covid-19 and Covid-19 Vaccine Adverse Reactions, which has been published since the declaration of the ‘pandemic' in UK. Between his two degrees David worked for a year in the angiogenesis research group at the University of Birmingham and he is a published author in angiogenesis research. At his graduation he recited the Hippocratic oath. Part of this powerful oath is a vow. A vow to ‘Primum non nocere'- first do no harm. After years of training and sacrifice, followed by many happy years in a professional practice as a highly respected doctor, in February 2022 David took the difficult decision to resign as a GP.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Hello, Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up in a moment with Dr. David Cartland, who's back with us again. And David joins us to discuss his experiences of being investigated over two years now by the General Medical Council, the GMC. It is the regulatory body that investigates doctors' malpractice or failures. And because of initially anonymous reports complaining about a social media profile, he has been investigated. He discusses that process and the GMC have absolute power, they can remove a doctor's ability to practice medicine in the UK. So it is, they are judge and jury, court martial. We also go into how the NHS silences whistle-blowers. He shares some of the stories of his patients that he has seen vaccine injuries and we also discuss his difficulty of simply getting a job as a locum in surgeries.  Dr. David Cartland, it's wonderful to have you back with us. Thank you so much for your time today.  (Dr David Cartland) No, thanks for having me, Peter. It's always a pleasure to chat.  Good to chat. I think last time you were with me is probably our last video at the end of last year. Time flies past, but it's good to have you back. Lots to cover, not only about you but what you see professionally. But if I can @CartlandDavid on Twitter, that's where you can follow David's many pieces of information put out regularly. So if you're not already following him, do. Although, David, you've become quite high profile. Maybe just touch on that and then before we get onto of the GMC stuff and some of the cases you see. But what is it like to be kind of the voice of reason? Because I guess when you go into profession, you're there as part of the system. You put your head down, you do the good that you've been trained to do. It's quite different for you because a lot of doctors now in the media, in the public sphere, are talking about. What has it been like over the last three years?  It's really strange because I get a lot of feedback that I've kind of stuck my head above the parapet and I'm brave and I've got balls of steel or whatever they say, but you know I see it as simply my duty to do what I've done. You know I've said this many times, you know, I've stuck my neck on the line but really not because I've spoke out about ethical principles of consent, bodily autonomy, not coercing patients to take medical treatments that they aren't being fully informed about number one, but you know, that we haven't got any safety data for, you know, defending children and pregnant moms, you know, there was never any roll out data for both cohorts. And so that's the two easy wins, I thought I picked, you know, the ethical issues and the pregnancy safety, lack of safety data and the children and vaccine injuries and speaking out about lockdowns and masks and for doing so, you know, the NHS supposedly supports whistle blowing, they call it a learning culture, a no-blame culture, let's talk about these things without any blame until you whistle blow. And then, like I found out, to my detriment in a couple of arenas, really, as soon as you whistle blow about concerns that you've got. Concerns that still to this day remain unanswered. That's the other thing. You could easily shut me off with some data. Very easy to do. Correct my blasphemous views on all of this, just sit me down and show me the error of my ways and hasn't happened for two and a half days. It's been a full two and a half years, should I say. It's been a cancel culture as other people in the arena have found, you know, you look at Andrew Bridgen, all he did was ask questions and asked to take a closer look at the data. You look at footballers, Matt Le Tissier, you know, speaking out and saying, look, we need to look at this, footballers are collapsing left, right and centre, let's stop, let's investigate this. Similar to me, I'm just saying like this isn't ethically right, this isn't safe, we're not following evidence-based practice here, but yeah to somehow out of all of this become, I googled myself the other day because I said a third's really let me go because they said they'd googled me, so I thought let's. Have five minutes and see what you can come up with when you google Dave Cartland. One thing that comes up is internet personality, so that's the surrealness of where we are at the moment in that for somehow doing the job, following my Hippocratic oath, following principles of safety evidence based practice and ethics and these are all GMC guidance's as well you know I keep reminding on Twitter my fellow colleagues of the guides the guidelines that we have you know about the duty of candour whistleblowing ethics you know making sure you know we're gaining informed consent these are all enshrined in the GMC and as we'll talk about later on in the discussion the GMC they've got some slightly double standards when it comes to who to go after.  I guess there was some point where it went from criticism within the profession, so disagreements with fellow doctors, fellow professionals, to a, more bigger investigation and checking up. I mean how did that step change come? Yeah, where to start with that? So yeah, I mean, it has been kind of, it started off as kind of anonymous reporting. So the first I ever heard of the GMC, being involved in me was, I found it in my junk email box from my NHS mail account, saying that there'd been some sort of hearing about me about spreading COVID misinformation, and that a decision had been made that there was no case to answer for. This was in April, I think, 2021, it goes all the way back to that. That was without your input, you just...  So that was without my knowledge, my input, but even though they found there was no case to answer, they escalated it to NHS Performance Advisory Committee. And so you'll see on Twitter, I posted a reflective piece they asked me to do at that point to explain how I got to my position. I actually got to present to the GMC at the time as well, not the GMC, NHS PAG committee and their six doctors. I had the floor for about an hour, went through data, my concerns, and with specific reference to the reflective piece that I posted. And, you know, at the very end, I just said to them, any comment, any information on what, you know, any rebuttal to what I presented? And they just said, look, we're not here to discuss the content of your views on COVID. We're here to discuss, and it was a really strange comment they made. They said, we're here to discuss your mental health, your fitness to practice, and your fitness for purpose. I always remember that comment, fitness for purpose. And it kind of all fizzled out after that. They closed the case, and then pretty much, you know, every month or two, I'd get a dumping from the GMC saying we've had these 15, mostly anonymous complaints from various characters, either from Twitter or ex-colleagues I used to work with saying, we've had these 15, 20 complaints just to let you know, FYI, this is the content that's sending you the redacted complaints. And you'd just been told that you were getting this flurry of complaints about COVID misinformation, conspiracy theories, and all the rest of it. And some of them are quite comical. I was called a dangerous individual, I've been called Harold Shipman 2023. And all the rest of it and so you know they were throwing them out which is good but then it kind of got a little bit more nefarious in that you know, firstly the council culture in my own community, so I've been you know, I've been I moved down to Cornwall for the work life balance, I didn't wake up one morning and say I tell you what I'm going to be a crazy anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist and commit career suicide. I said what I saw I had genuinely held and still unrebutted concerns as previously mentioned on safety ethics and an evidence-based medicine and not being followed. And for that, I've received a cancellation, blacklisting. I've applied recently for, in Cornwall, we've got a lack of doctors. We've got a massive issue with GPs in particular. I'm an ED-trained GP, so I'm kind of dual-trained, and I teach medical students. I've got background in science. I'm a published scientist, did a degree with quite heavy weighting in immunology. And we've got somewhere around 25 jobs out there all the time, consistently. Whenever you look at the website advertising for GP jobs, there's always 25 jobs. So I applied for 25 jobs about six, seven months ago, and I got three responses. The rest just ignored me. Their jobs are still being advertised, by the way. And the three letters that I got back were essentially we don't employ anti-vaxxers or your views on vaccines don't align with the ethos of our vaccine centre, for example. So it started off like that. And even now, I mean, I've been let go from locum surgeries now because I retweeted an Andrew Tate video six months ago. That's a genuine example of why I've just been let go from three weeks worth of work, you know, and I didn't really know who Andrew Tate was. If I'm honest, I must've just seen something on Twitter, retweeted it without doing a full, you know, biography check on the person. And then that was enough cause for the GP surgery to let me go. And that was actually a surgery that had massively positive feedback from the work that I'd done. And then the other surgeries then, you know, putting the phone down on agencies they mentioned the name Dr Cartland, literally putting the phone down on them saying and then the agency would get back to them and say was that technically correct. Was that a technical issue with the line? I said, no, no, no. You mean Dr. David Cartland from Cornwall? Oh, no, no, we don't employ anti-vaxxers at our surgery. We'd rather not employ a doctor. We would rather have no doctor than have him. And there's been several examples across the last six months where surgeries have gone without a medic for a whole day than have me, who's offered my services to them. And I've got email confirmation of that. So it started off a little bit like that, cancellation in my locality. I mean, cancellation by the village that I live in, the town I live in. Literally bizarre because as you mentioned earlier you know outside of Cornwall, I'm quite, there's a profile there you know people know who I am people recognize me but not in my home village they think I'm a leper and they treat me like a leper so very odd and then the GMC stuff started a bit more insidiously then with with the usual suspects on Twitter..  So okay tell us what the GMC the General Medical Council there'll be many watching not in the UK so what exactly is that body what does it do? So the GMC are there, General Medical Council are there to kind of oversee doctors conduct, doctors you know any issues around their abilities practice safely, you know so clinical negligence etc so they've got kind of lots of overreach into into what doctors do but I mean the way you complain about a doctor is you can literally go on to an online page completely you can say anything you want and I've seen this in action, like literally you can say, Dr. Cartland tweeted this. And this was what a lot of the complaints were that I was getting. It was about social media activity. But I did come across, you know, I had the devil in me at some point in the past, about seven or eight months ago. And I decided to do a sort of feature on Twitter where I went into some of the TV doctors. And I thought, I'm going to out some of the outrageous statements that Van Tam, Chris Whitty, Matt Hancock. I did a week of going after the politicians and just quoted what they said in their own press conferences and, you know, the next slide, please, conferences that they were doing. And then I moved on to the TV doctors. And I went to Dr. Ranj, Dr. Amir Khan, Dr. Sarah Kayat, Dr. Hilary Jones, and I basically published the biggest whoppers that they'd ever told, you know, like, Dr. Ranj said, you know, take one COVID-19 vaccine, and you're 100%, 100%, it's always 100% safe and effective of avoiding hospital or going, becoming unwell, or dying of COVID-19. That's what he said, or worse. And I just posted it. And that's been taken now by the GMC to be examples of my bullying. The charges against me at the moment are bullying, incitement of hatred to fellow professionals, and online harassment. So they've tried the misinformation, they've tried the mental health, they've tried the conspiracy theories on professional behaviour, social media guidance, and now they've moved on to what can only be described as a coordinated complaint. I've got evidence of all the complainants collaborating together in chat rooms, and making this an effort to get me struck off. So as we stand today, you know, I've been all of the complainants, for example, have been given the chance to give an oral statement against me. You know, Dr. Ranj gave a 110 page victim statement in inverted commas. And it was like reading a fantasy novel. Honestly, I've read it, it's an embarrassment really to the GMC, but they've took it seriously on the lines of bullying and harassment. And what have I done? I've posted 'This Morning' interview where he made outrageous claims that misled a lot of people, you know, nothing's 100% RSA, you know, this cup of tea, it's not 100% safe, I could choke on it, I could drop the cup on my foot, I could drop, you know, the hot liquid on my crotch, you know, and it's not, it's not 100% safe, is it? So all of these doctors made the claim of 100% safety. One particular complainant said it was 100% safe to vaccinate pregnant women, and then went on to say that the vaccine reduced miscarriage rates, and then went on to equally tell a whopper around what technology was used in the vaccine, saying it was identical to the influenza vaccine, without naming names for this particular doctor. But, you know, they've been able to formulate that my retweet of, you know, their false claims has been labelled as, what did they say in the one complaint, I've set my anti-vax mob upon them, and, you know, they're all playing the mental health card now, saying that because of Dr Cartland, they're suffering with their mental health and anxiety and all the rest of it playing the victim beautifully. Very strange goings on and to me I mean it's a big overreach really GMC are they there to comment on my twitter feed? you know that's what it seems to have come down to. But well, what is the the process do you get an email or letter through to say you need to appear in front of somewhere, just being told you're under investigation and you said you were before them so what input do you have with that? That's a really good question, so in all in all of this you get kind of, you get I'm infamous at GMC now so I've got my own complaints member of staff so I've been allocated my own member of staff for the inundation that they've had. But essentially that person will then update me on the process. And the process has been the three complainants have been given the oral witness statements. And they've gone to town on me really and dug back into my timeline. There's clear collaboration between them. Meaning one particular complaint, the GMC have actually helped the complainant go through my Twitter feed and look at interviews to look for examples of alleged transphobia. So there was a period about three months ago where I went in heavy on the strange things that we're seeing in the sexualization of children, sex trafficking. There's the drag queen story hour that we've had in Cornwall. Some of the videos I'm seeing online about inappropriate things going on in front of children. People clad in gimp suits with kids stroking them. You've probably seen the images. Men clad with sex toys all over them, multi-coloured sex toys, making a complete fool of themselves really in front of children. And calling that out, and again, charge number eight on the GMC charge list is I've showed hostility towards the LGBTQ community. I've had lots of input from LGBTQ people, show me a lot of support, actually, because they're fed up of it. They're fed up of this kind of leaning into the agenda and the overreach of it, this minor attracted persons, the, we need to start having sympathy for paedophilia, we need to start looking deep into the psychology, normalizing it and then going off on things like, you know, in schools now we've got kids in our locality identifying as cats. I mean, how on earth have we ended up with that? You know, when we've got people being referred off a puberty blockade at the age of 12 and genital mutilation, that to the GMC there is evidence of my hostility towards LGBTQ and they're jumping on anything at the moment. Clearly I've got a target on my head. So none of it has to do necessarily with your medical understanding or ability or giving someone the wrong drugs. It's simply your views, what's in your head. And it's strange how a tweet can affect how you actually carry out, listen to a patient diagnosing them. It's, their opposites. They're saying it just affects confidence in the profession, so another colleague, I won't mention the name at the moment, is having a case reopened for bringing the profession into disrepute. Affecting public confidence with their conspiracy theories in inverted commas. But I mean, I'll tell you what's happened, just to finish off what I meant to say just about the GMC proceedings. So all three complainants got the chance of an oral statement. They've been either to the building in GMC HQ or they've given a Zoom, you know, face-to-face. I've not been afforded that privilege so basically what they've done is clumped all three complaints together into about 600 pages of evidence and I mean the evidence is pathetic, simple as that it's not it wouldn't you know if it was a murder case it would be thrown out, you know it's absolutely embarrassing but all the way through this I've got a clear evidence of all three complainants colluding, inciting against me, getting people to and they've done it for other doctors like Aseem Malhotra, please report this doctor to the GMC, well that's incitement isn't it. And I've got evidence of this. In fact, one of the complainants has been, is a very notorious chap on Twitter. Again, I can't name his name, but a notorious bully, troll, spreader of misinformation. And this guy has been bullying me for two years and has had the audacity to accuse me of bullying. I said to the GMC, I've got pages and pages of information where he's called me Harold Shipman or he's had me arrested or I've been struck off. I'm dangerous, I'm dodgy, I'm unsafe to practice, I'm a liar. I've got all of these screenshots. He's even questioned my mental health, publicly saying I should be sectioned, I'm mentally unstable. He's been speaking to my family and they're all increasingly concerned about my mental health. I've got all this, but can you show it to the GMC? Do they want to see it? No, they don't. not letting me give, you know, get beyond the administrative system to speak to a decision maker. So it's been very much guilty till proven innocent and they backed that up by, about a month ago, they demanded of me my full, you know, who I work for as a locum, what surgeries, which hospitals I work in and they wanted me to go back six months to name what surgeries I work at and the reason for that was they wanted to send out a letter before I've even had a chance to give evidence to say Dr. Cartland has been accused by some high profile TV doctors of bullying, harassment and online incitement and that's gone out to every surgery that I've either worked for or currently worked for and I absolutely begged them not to do that. I said look, this is clearly a guilty till proven innocent approach to the situation, please let me at least give my chance of defending myself. I mean to be fair to them, they've been clear in the letter that, you know there is no fitness to practice hearing here and it's not, you know, they haven't even made a decision on that they're just collating so what's the point of sending the letter. I said to them this is only going to give me financial and reputational damage, they still sent it and since then the three surgeries have not offered me a single locum shift, so as predicted they want to wait till the investigation's over and that's natural of course, why would you want to employ a doctor by choice that, you know, it's hard enough for me to get a surgery to take me for half a day when they're absolutely desperate, you know, it's it's such a waste but can't explain that. Guilty to all, even innocent.  How long has the process with the GMC, how long has that been going on for and how long does it, is there a fixed time period, can they keep it open for indefinitely, what's the process? Yeah that's a great question as well, I don't know, I've not been very transparent through the whole time, it's been, I've been dangled by a piece of string since like I say April two years ago, with various different, you know, aspects, like I say I first found out about investigation from a junk email. It's just the communication has been terrible as well. They've not kept me up to date really. They keep telling me they dropped a lot of the charges against me without informing me that they dropped a lot of charges against me. What GMC like to do as well is they send you emails that are quite anxiety inducing about five to five in the evening, and they're all knocking off at five o'clock. So even in that approach it's like well. There's method in that, they're doing that on purpose, you know, to send an email at 10 to 5 with, you know, this is the witness statement for Dr. X and then you're going into the weekend and you can't fight your corner and, you know, all they've done along in terms of pastoral care, you know, at the end of the day this is very stressful, you know, I'm going into the next month not knowing if I'm going to be in front of a fitness to practice hearing for the crimes of promoting evidence-based practice ethics and safety. And I don't know where my next pay check's coming from. It's just, it's bizarre. And all they've done is they've given me a Samaritan's number and to contact the BMA 24-hour helpline, completely separate to them. There's been no pastoral support. In fact, there's been no pastoral support at all. I've tried all through the last year to reach out. It's hard enough to do that as a doctor, reaching out to other doctors, and I've ended up passed from pillar to post. No one can offer me any support, any help. I even went to my own GP at a time when I was having a lot of stress, I wasn't sleeping. GP essentially, in a nutshell, signed me off work for six months with stress and depression. Sent me bucket loads of antidepressants, sleeping tablets and anxiolytics and then zero point during that, I've still got the boxes by the way, I never used them, but the point I was trying to make is not one single doctor or nurse spoke to me in that six months and assessed me and gave me copious amounts of drugs during that time and signed me up and made a diagnosis actually based upon e-consults, which is what doctors are doing now. They're not even seeing patients to this day. They're still doing telephone consults, you know, triaging everything out, you know, only seeing on the day emergencies and this is what's contributing in a way to some, only a small amount of the excess mortality that we see and they're just not seeing patients hence, not diagnosing or processing and doing their job, still hiding behind the COVID. I worked at a surgery a few weeks ago and the doctors are all still masked up. They've got two, three masks on some of them, gloves on, aprons on, visors, they change between every patient and they've had five or six jabs at each of these doctors. So we've created this bizarre kind of germ OCD phobia kind of mentality. I can't explain it.  It is. Maybe four months ago, five months ago, I went to the hospital with one of my kids and I went in and the doctor said, I'm sorry, you'll obviously need to wear a mask. I said, I'm exempt. He goes, no, no, no, you can't be exempt. I said, yes, I'm exempt, I can show you, the government. And he goes, oh well, it's too dangerous. If you refuse to wear a mask, we'll have to have the consultation in the corridor. So we moved out of his room and we were in the corridor of a busy hospital and he carried out the consultation in the corridor, because the corridor was safe, but his room was not. And I thought, you don't even argue when you're with children, you just...  And this is in 2023, Peter, isn't it? The insanity continues and now we've got the old... Eris, is it? Eris, the variant, and they're trying to stoking up the fear porn. The goddess of destruction, they've named this one after all, chaos or something like that. So they're really working on getting the anxiety levels up and people will fall for it. The doctors have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker. Absolutely easy meat it's been to con the doctors. I mean, how to explain what happens to you there? You know, you've been taken out to a corridor. It's just insane. You know, if you see a doctor in a mask, I would go and ask to see another doctor. I'd go so far as to say that, you know, It's an instant IQ assessment for me. The data's out there about damage. Not only is it pointless, I keep trying to explain, you've got eyes as well. If you sneeze into somebody's eyes, you still can contract. So unless you've got goggles on. Doesn't matter what you wear on your face. There are studies that show it's dangerous to your blood gas. You can become hypercapnic, hypoxic. Quite swiftly, I have to put in one arm. Spoke to a lady at my son's optician appointment last week, and you could see she was struggling to breathe. You're speaking and she's and you can see it bellowing out and just like you don't need to put that on, it doesn't work, but her excuse to me was it just makes the older patients feel safer, but it's fraud isn't it, it doesn't it doesn't do what it says on the tin but that's just a small cog in this deception isn't it.  One last question on the GMC and then maybe touching some of the cases you have seen what powers do the GMC have?  They've got the power to end your career, literally, so that's where we are with my particular cases, that they're going to, two people get to decide, one's a lay person and I don't get to speak to these people. I've got the opportunity to write a written rebuttal and they turn the sand timer off 14 days ago so I've left it for a few days and I've got 14 more days to respond and then that goes to a decision maker which is a doctor, a lay person to decide is it fitness to practice or not and that's where the fun begins if it is a fitness to practice and in a kind of dark way. I hope they do because I hope to air my facts and figures to them in public and I think this is the reason they haven't taken some of the higher profile doctors to fitness to practice because it goes on public record. We come out with all of our data, we talk about excess mortality, we talk about our clinical experiences and it all comes out in the open and I don't think they want that. That's why they go for things like bullying and online harassment and breaking the social media guidance or there's a new guidance come out on LGBTQ+ now, all you need to do is offend, that's the measure now you have to leave your faith for example at the door and if the level of being able to report the doctor to the GMC is just merely offending somebody with your view and again at that fitness to practice that literally is what it says on the tin, are you fit to practice or not and we see it now in some of the cases of people being struck off, it's very nefarious, people are, and it's not based on safety, it doesn't seem to be harming patients that brings about the charges are being struck off anymore it can be what you're offending somebody or you know your twitter feed or retweeting an Andrew Tate video for example, it's just bizarre I mean what what jurisdiction should the GMC have over my private, where's that private, public social media. I've got freedom of speech, you know, I'm a lot of these views and they're quite you know within their rights to debate me but I'm two and a half years in now, not a single doctor, no one from the LMC, no one from the GMC, no one from the NHS, the chief medical officer runs away from me down here, the MP runs away from me down here. No one wants to have the conversation and so we all know what that is. But it's just so dark, isn't it, that, you know, a good doctor here is not able to work in one of the most under doctored areas of the NHS. And, you know, it's only patients that suffer. It's not me. I'm doing okay with my private work, you know, so, you know, it's one of those. Well, actually, let's touch on that, the private work side on your website. Let people know what they can find because this is, I think, a way forward and what you're offering is essential and exciting that's happening, it's sad to see it has to happen. But tell us what people, is it people in the local area that they can basically connect with you and have a diagnosis? Yeah, so the service has been set up with a deliberate eye on what the GMC have been up to. So I've kind of called it a kind of off-grid, off-matrix kind of medical experience. So I don't know anyone else who's doing it, really. So it's kind of novel in its approach. So I've had to be careful what I call it. Obviously, I am a GP, I'm a doctor, so I'm allowed to use those titles. But I've had to kind of draw a line as to what needs to be regulated and what I can do in an unregulated fashion. So for example, if I prescribe a drug, that needs to be regulated. You need a GMC license to practice, CQC registration. Now, if I keep patient notes, I need GDPR regulation. So I've had to pitch it, the model, at where I can be unregulated, like a life coach, for example. So I call what I do health coaching. I call it clinical navigation, clinical signposting. I call it health advocacy. And that's what I do. I'm a voice of reason. I'm a medically trained person, ex-scientist, that is there for patients to come to and listen. One of the key things I get is as to why people book in with me is, A, that they trust me for standing up against all of this this nonsense, so it's a trust issue and that trust has been lost. These people you're never gonna trust doctors ever again. And they come to me because they value my opinion and I listen. It's a simple case of having an hour, you know, I charge in a very ethical price, you know, it's far below what, you know, the standards for a private GP appointment would be. It's a quarter of that. And I sit with the patient for an hour and I listen and I take the history. And even this very morning, I had three cases of vaccine injured patients that just, they were quite emotional, really, both the two younger girls, because they just got heard. They were listened to and acknowledged instead of being gas lit and told it was all in their head and there was absolutely no chance of that. But going back to the service, it's growing month on month. It's going really well. I work from this office. I work every morning seven days a week, 363 days a year. So accessibility is there. You get the same doctor twice. You actually get a doctor, which is a bonus. In general practice, if you actually get a doctor, you've struck gold, haven't you? So they're the USPs really, and you'll get an honest opinion. Sometimes I do have to direct people back into the NHS to take our blood tests, for example. But that's what I'm there for. I'm a health advocate. And so like one of the patients this morning, I've written what I call a kick the doctor up the backside letter to get the doctor to do some basic investigations with a girl that's been having chest pain and palpitations within a week of the vaccine. And they haven't even done an ECG. They've done their blood tests. a referral for 24-hour ECG monitoring. They've not done a referral for an echocardiogram. Just basics. You know, we're seeing a lot of clinical and criminal negligence now in the patients that I see, particularly from the vaccine injury community. So that's what you get in a nutshell. So yeah, go to drcartland.com and have a peek. Tell us more about what you're seeing because I'm assuming that you may see people that have gone to their doctor, nothing's happening, the doctor refuses to even consider this could be vaccine injury and therefore they come across you and speak to you. But tell us kind of how that's worked and what are some of the stories that you've heard from patients?  Yeah so the stories are quite classic actually. So what I would say from the outset is I've not spoke to a vaccine injured patient that has got the same story. So there's different kind of severities of symptoms, there's different timelines, there's some are immediate, some are sort of medium term, some are slightly longer term. But the one thing that's really consistent with these patients is that temporal relationship to the vaccine. They're in good health, the two patients this morning. In good health, fit and healthy. One was an 18 year old and within two days of having the vaccine and the second patient was within two weeks having some heart pain, chest discomfort. They then venture off to their doctor and every case is the same. The doctor will immediately, as soon as the patient mentions the vaccine word, that's it. It's almost like crucifix comes out at that point. The room changes, the mood changes, the aggression levels of the doctor change and they dismiss the patient with immediate effect and just say, look, this is absolutely 100% nothing to do with the vaccine whatsoever. But these are the same doctors, if you remember, that had, you know, they were putting down COVID-19 for every death. You know, you can have a positive test and get struck by lightning the day after. And they put COVID-19 as a death certificate, they'll put in COVID-19 as 1A when people have died of cancer. And it was quite extraordinary. But what they're telling these people is, either it's in their head, the amount of people who've got bizarre symptoms, and some people have got some really eclectic, strange, medically unexplainable symptoms. So they come and they've got a bit of this and a bit of that, and it doesn't fit into a conventional diagnosis or criteria to diagnose things like MS, for example. They get brain fog with numb left arm with weakness of the right calf and incontinence of urine, for example. That doesn't fit into any conventional neurological diagnosis. I'm hearing of cases where neurologists are seeing the patients. Telling them it's absolutely not 100% nothing to do with the vaccine. They're not even touching the patient with a tendon hammer. They're not examining them and just dismissing them as functional neurological disorder, aka they're making it up. It's in their head, despite you know, coming on two days after the vaccine. The latest thing I'm hearing is they're telling vaccine injury patients that it's from long COVID, everything's long COVID. So these doctors who deny a day after the vaccine, somebody, you know, going into fits, is anything to do with the vaccine, are the same doctors who were saying, oh, actually, the latest one is even more dark, asymptomatic long COVID. So I'll give you a real life example of a 31 year old who I saw about a month ago at surgery, who had two AstraZeneca's. After each AstraZeneca, she had a blood clot on her leg, one on each leg. Then they went on to booster with a Moderna in December this year, just gone. And this was a 31 year old girl. She had a mini stroke a week later and then she had a full-blown stroke. And when she had to have surgery, a bilateral stroke, blood clots on the brain. And she was told, and I saw this in the neurological letters, that she'd been, this was from an asymptomatic COVID-19, long COVID infection, that had caused a stroke and this was all within a month of a Moderna booster. Absolutely incredible and then, you know, I tell patients, you know, it's highly likely but the issue we've got here is really that we can't ever prove it. There isn't really a way of absolutely proving it. We're looking at ways of really nailing this correlation, causation thing now. So there is a way of finding out antibodies, if you've got antibodies, for example, to nucleocapsid protein and the S-protein, and if you've got both, then there's an equal argument that it could have been the COVID infection. But what we have got now is patients that are just measuring for antibodies for the S-protein, which is a spike protein, and not the nucleocapsid protein. So that completely knocks out the possibility that it can be long COVID-related, because there's no evidence of the nucleocapsid protein. So we need to find that test that really is that eureka moment in helping these patients. And a lot of work I do is around spike protein detox. And we're all, whether you believe in shedding or not, that's up for discussion, but we really need to get detoxifying our bodies and I've really turned myself around in the last eight or nine weeks because I've been vaccinated as you know, and it's really messed with me, it's messing my cognition, my memory, lots of brain fogs, lots of mental fatigue, obviously there's a lot of confounders here about all the stress going on, but at the same time, I felt like I was going into dementia at 41 years of age and really turned it around. So anyone who's got any concerns about spike protein, obviously not just me, don't just contact me. I'm not just selling my service. There are lots of protocols out there now from World Council for Health, People's Health Alliance. You've got the FLCCC, I Recover Protocol. My protocol is publicly available on Twitter for free. It's all about detoxification of the spike protein. That's the pathology here. And that's common across the board. It really was a flawed thing to do, get the body to produce this non-human spike protein through the mRNA. Surprise, surprise, it's causing autoimmunity, it's causing cancers, it's causing inflammation in the body, it's causing immune system destruction, it's causing micro-plotting, endothelial dysfunction. It really is poisonous stuff. So yeah, anyone who's had a jab needs to look at, for themselves and for their relatives and loved ones, what we can to get rid of the spike protein. Lots of literature out there. Yeah, PHA, certainly World Health Alliance, fantastic work. So what you're basically pointing out is they are providing solutions. Absolutely, yeah. And these are grassroots organizations picking up momentum with each passing month. Both of the aforementioned, they're grassroots, they're run by people that give a lot of time for free to help set up an alternative to the NHS. And, you know, honesty is at the centre of it all, you know, being open, being honest, and not for profit. None of these people are here to make money. They're here to provide a service. And if you go, for example, to the PHA website, you'll see that there's a whole directory of people that can help. It's not just the NHS. It's not, you don't have to go with the Stockholm syndrome, of going through the primary care system and being gaslit, you know, go contact people. There's directories of people that are, Naturopathic is the best way to put it. It doesn't have to be drugs. My own protocol's got one medicine on there, the rest is all plant-based. Anti-inflammatories, supplements, things like that. Things like keto diets, paleo-ketogenic diet, carnivore diets, that can really help get your body detoxed from anything from spike protein to heavy metals and all the crap that's in our food. We're toxic people now because it's everywhere. It's in the food chain, it's in the water, it's in the sky. So we're getting, you need to detox. 100%. Can I just ask you about doctors, whenever a patient goes to a doctor, are doctors kind of given information they go by, or is it purely in their head? Because obviously when someone comes in they refuse to accept it's vaccine harm. Is that simply because they're in, I guess, in some ways the pocket of the pharma industry, or because they just are too busy, they haven't looked, or because they're following guidance from elsewhere? A bit of everything, really. I think when I do get to chat to it, and I do all the time, I get told not to talk about COVID in surgeries. I make it my business to enlighten the staff that are vaccinating people. So I worked in a room last week with a lady who was jabbing pregnant moms and kids with the COVID vaccine, so she was enlightened by me. So what I would say is the combination of doctors have got egos, number one, egos and God complexity, thinking they are the powers that be. Number two, they're complicit. They've been putting these jabs into people's arms. What's more concerning is people who've been jabbing through the last two and a half years don't even know that it's a novel technology. You completely lose them when you talk about gene therapy and immunomodulatory therapy. MRNA, a paramedic last week said, what's MRNA? And she'd been jabbing it into people's arms for the last two and a half years. And really that's not acceptable. The only defence I do have, and again, I've been dabbling a little bit back into the NHS the last few months, is that your just run ragged. You start your day at eight o'clock, you finish at six. Your halftime break's a home visit, where you're driving around, particularly in Cornwall, like there's quite distance the homes are from the surgery. And so you're driving with your sandwich in your mouth and your crisps while you're driving around, and you get back and you start again. It's like eat, sleep, repeat, and you don't have time. That's my only slight defence is that you run ragged and I think deliberately so. So doctors just haven't got the energy. You know, those days I did a few weeks ago, I haven't got time to get up and read the Lancet Journal or the evidence data for excess mortality. And it's not a good enough excuse, but you know, it's a factor in the equation that needs to be considered, that people are run ragged. And hence they don't know the Pfizer data, you know, the Pfizer documents that I've read cover to cover. These people haven't even heard of the Pfizer documents because they're that frazzled at the end of the day. And then the money, you know, it's been a big money maker for the whole of primary care hospitals. You know, they've cleared their debts from all of this. So I'll never understand why doctors aren't putting two and two together when you've got somebody that in a very short timeframe after a novel gene therapy, you know, has developed X, Y, and Z symptoms and how it can't be in the differential diagnosis at the least, that's just clinical negligence. You know, it's, this whole denial of the timeframe, you know, these well healthy young people. I've had some harrowing stories in the last few months of people that have lost legs, lost the use of the legs, you know, becoming incontinent, transverse myelitis, MS cases, turbo cancers, blood clots at the age of 18, all in proximity to the vaccine. All of them have one thing in common, it's absolutely nothing to do with the vaccine, according to their medical professional. It's just not good enough because we have to start helping these people. One thing's for sure, I've never jabbed a single individual. I've not given an mRNA jab to a single human, but I'm the only one seeming, along with a small pocket of UK doctors, trying to find answers and solutions. And we work day and night, and we're the bad boys of the profession, working day and night, often for nothing, to try and find solutions to what will be looked back on as the biggest crime against humanity. Of that, I'm certain.  100% agree with you. Dr David Cartland, I really appreciate you coming on, giving us an update on what's happening with you and what you're seeing as a professional. I'm assuming the best place is on your Twitter. They can follow what's happening with the GMC and whenever you're coming, as you're going through that process, you'll keep your followers up to date on @CartlandDavid.  That's the one. There are a few imposters, nice to be popular, but if you type in David Cartland into Twitter, you'll see there's about 25 versions of me, but that, you've got the twitter tag right there on the screen, so look out for the imposters because they are asking people for money personal details and you try to report to twitter to stop them but no, if they put parody in their profile they're allowed to say what they want, it's incredible, the amount of bullying I've had Peter is just, it's incredible, and yet I'm in the dock for being a bully, it's so bittersweet really to accept.  Hmm, no completely. Well yeah, @CartlandDavid, make sure and get it right. Nowhere else but there.  David, thank you so much for your time today. No, thanks for having me. It's always good to share what I'm seeing.

As we bid adieu to 2022, our final guest interview of the year is with Dr David Cartland. With all that has happened over the past twelve months, we wanted a medical doctor to join us to look back at what we have all faced and what might be in store for us in the new year. Dr Cartland has been disciplined and punished for simply asking questions, the 'scamdemic' seemed to place all power with huge powerful global pharmaceutical companies who suddenly (we were told) placed our wellbeing above their desire to make profits for their shareholders. Many of us saw through this charade but the establishment smeared and punished anyone who questioned this new found sense of public duty that had appeared overnight. Care was replaced by greed. It is vital that we regain healthcare for patients and not for the pockets of Big Pharma. Dr David Cartland (MBChB MRCGP) is a fully qualified doctor and GP. He is also one of the most censored professionals in the UK. Dr Cartland has a 1st class degree in Biomedical science including a year of specialist immunology and microbiology/virology training that included statistical analysis, and it is this area of expertise that has had particular relevance and value in allowing him to professionally assess the mass of government, NHS, MHRA, pharmaceutical and ONS data on Covid-19 and Covid-19 Vaccine Adverse Reactions, which has been published since the declaration of the ‘pandemic' in UK. Between his two degrees David worked for a year in the angiogenesis research group at the University of Birmingham and he is a published author in angiogenesis research. At his graduation he recited the Hippocratic oath. Part of this powerful oath is a vow. A vow to ‘Primum non nocere'- first do no harm. After years of training and sacrifice, followed by many happy years in a professional practice as a highly respected doctor, in February 2022 David took the difficult decision to resign as a GP.

He explains why he left his practised and what he has experienced and seen through reading data coming out to do with vaccine side effects as well as dealing with patients himself. He sits part of many health body's including Hart Group which is a recently formed group of health experts, academics and scientist that oppose many of the dealings with Covid-19. Also on vaccination to do with the Covid vaccine of certain age groups and the safety signals that is coming out of many countries.

FANSHAW    Actually, some of these murals are rather good.  If the players are half as talented as their painter, it might be worth seeking out one of their performances. LEM    [dubious] I reckon. FANSHAW    [musing] King Lear.  Julius Caeser.  Romeo and Juliet.  [chuckles]  They seem to perform a lot of the classics.  Shakespeare. LEM    Mmm. FANSHAW    Did you know that in Shakespeare's day - some 250 years ago - it was illegal for women to perform on the stage? LEM    Hush. FANSHAW    Oh, Lem, do let me impart a little culture for once. LEM    [Annoyed grunt] FANSHAW    Particularly while you cannot argue.  As I was saying, back in the day, all the female parts were played by young men. SULLIVAN    Oh, goodness!  Look at that! LEM    [eager] Whatsat? SULLIVAN    That's an awfully steep hill up ahead.  You think the wagon can manage it? LEM    I reckon so, reverend. SULLIVAN    "Doctor", please.  I prefer it as an honorific. LEM    [puzzled] But you're a "man o' god"? SULLIVAN    And a man of science as well.  I firmly believe that the church cannot simply deny science, but must embrace it, and hand in hand we shall move forward into the next century! LEM    [dubious] A'right then. FANSHAW    Fervent, isn't he? SULLIVAN    Sorry.  I find I must defend myself constantly - both against those who find science and religion incompatible, and against those who pooh-pooh my branch of science entirely. LEM    Oh?  SULLIVAN    [defiant]  I have made a comprehensive study of the existence of ghosts. LEM    [choking back a cough]  OH. FANSHAW    Oh, dear.

MUSIC SULLIVAN    [pugnacious] Do you, or do you not believe in ghosts? FANSHAW    [short bark of a laugh] LEM    [dry]  I reckon I do. SULLIVAN     Many people believe that the supernatural is somehow at cross-purposes with the bible, but it isn't so.  Ever since Solomon, the wisest men in the good book studied the ways of the supernatural, in order to overcome it. LEM    Solomon.  Izzat the king fellow? FANSHAW    Famous for his wise judgment.  And not cutting up the baby. SULLIVAN    Traditionally, many have always believed that the dead may carry on, side by side with the living, unseen but always present. LEM    Ain't this more of a church question? SULLIVAN    What do you mean? LEM    Well, if you believe folks just hunker down once they passed on, then what you think of heaven? SULLIVAN    I don't believe every soul lingers.  Have you ever heard of Purgatory? FANSHAW    Oh, goodness. LEM    Ain't that a town in Nevada territory? SULLIVAN    In the bible, purgatory is a place where people who are not good enough to go to heaven nor evil enough to go directly to hell are judged. FANSHAW    Which bible, precisely? LEM    Guess I never got that far in bible learnin. SULLIVAN    It is the premise for all my theories that purgatory is not a place, but merely a "state"-- LEM    [playing dumb] Wyoming? [1890] FANSHAW    [grim] Ask him which bible. SULLIVAN    [trying not to get exasperated] --and that spirits that need to be redeemed, or to mend their ways, may in fact be "in purgatory" much like someone could be "in a foul temper" - right next to us.

FANSHAW    I do not consider myself a particularly religious fellow, but if there is one thing I have found quite frustrating about the wide open west it is that so many people simply decide that they are experts on this or that subject, and other people believe them, for lack of any alternatives. LEM    Mm? FANSHAW    He claims to know the bible, but then he goes on about this spiritism nonsense.  And purgatory!  I may not be a divinity scholar but a childhood of churchgoing taught me that that is a catholic conceit, and he's got it wrong anyway.  Purgatory was where souls waited out a period of penance, while their friends and family prayed for their release.  LEM    How'd they know if they got out? FANSHAW    I believe the priests would tell them.  It always smacked of extortion to me. LEM    [laughs]  Well.  How's all this gonna make a damn lick of difference just now? FANSHAW    What?  LEM    Whatever it is he believes - it gonna change the price of oats?

EMMA    Me?  I--  but it's too drastic to be-- CARTLAND    I ain't asking if you think she's making it all up, just what you reckon we should oughtta do if she is. EMMA    Oh.  [pacing]  Well.  It's a terrible thing she's doing - if she's doing it.  But it can't be easy on her, either.  All them hurts she's took. CARTLAND    Lotta effort to make you feel sorry for her. EMMA    If she's faking, then wouldn't the reverend know it? CARTLAND    Stick to the question at hand. EMMA    You're much less riled than you been in days - do you know something? CARTLAND    With two doctor types on hand, how can I not see a light at the end of this here tunnel? EMMA    Oh. CARTLAND    [almost gentle]  I'm waiting. EMMA    I agree - we can't, in good conscience, let her get her way through these kinds of shenanigans - always assuming she's-- CARTLAND    Yes, yes.  We're assuming. EMMA    But what can we do for punishment?  Lock her away?  I couldn't bear that. CARTLAND    What'choo think about schooling? EMMA    What? CARTLAND    Send her off to school - back east or somewheres where rich folks send their girls, and take the cost of the schooling out of her half the ranch.  We'll call it bail. EMMA    It would keep her away from the Wishwells.  And it would get her away from-- CARTLAND    Us?  EMMA    [sigh] Yes. MUSIC LEM    I may not have the booklearnin y'all have, but I did have me a granny who did midwifing and could see and talk to all manner of spirits. SULLIVAN    Really?  How ...rustic BAKER    You should never pooh-pooh the lay folk.  Many have toiled in the fields of the supernatural without even realizing they did. Back home in-- SULLIVAN    Of course, it is only a pity that so often they were seen as enemies of the church and persecuted, rather than embraced and put to good works. FANSHAW    Good gad, they're even worse in harmony. LEM    Well, Granny once told me of a sure cure for a plague of spirits. BAKER    Oh yes? FANSHAW    Watch out, he'll write a monograph on your granny.  Did you really have one? LEM    O'course.  It ain't easy, and it ain't exactly safe.  But when the only other path is being ridden round with spirits all your life, it's sometimes a risk you gots to take. SULLIVAN    Dangerous? LEM    O'course.  You got to make the spirits flee outta the afflicted one, and t'only way to do it is to convince them you're about to kill that person. SULLIVAN    [horrified] KILL? BAKER    That makes a strange sort of sense. LEM    Best ways are violent.  You cain't sneak up behind 'em, since half the convincin has to be that the one what's afflicted gots to believe it.  FANSHAW    Mention the flagellants in the bible.  They used whips to cleanse themselves of-- SULLIVAN    But we can't - that-that poor girl! BAKER    I am not certain I could do it myself, but I would be most interested in observing. LEM    Oh, I can do it.  You two should oughta  make sure no one else gets in the way, though. SULLIVAN    But you wouldn't really hurt her? LEM    I s'pose it depends.  Sometimes, the spirits are figurin you wouldn't really hurt no one, and they hang on for the first hurt or two.  Like them fellas that whip themselves bloody right there in the bible. SULLIVAN    [horrified] Oh no!  I can't let you do that to any poor defenseless woman. LEM    Don't think it's your choice to make, old hoss.  BAKER    As long as she is afflicted, it will have to be dealt with. SULLIVAN    Let me try something else, first!  I might have a way to-- LEM    That's right fine.  We'll come along and observe your way. SULLIVAN    No!  It's -- it has to be performed in total secrecy. LEM    Cain't hide from the spirits, though. FANSHAW    I take the hint. BAKER    You should be grateful for the help. SULLIVAN    Leave me alone for a minute!  I have to - to pray! SOUND    WALKS OFF FAST LEM    [almost a chuckle] BAKER    What got into him? FANSHAW    I think he truly cares for the girl. LEM    A mighty old spirit indeed. MUSIC [BREAK]   EMMA    They're gonna hurt her? CARTLAND    They don't think it will come to much.  Just enough to scare the spirits out of her. EMMA    Melody's my sister - I cain't just let them beat her! CARTLAND    [trying to be comforting] Don't sound like there's any other way they're gonna manage this.  [beat] This feller sounds like he knows what he's doing. EMMA    [incredulous] Sounds like he--?  How can you say that? CARTLAND    [curt]  I will stop him before he does anything too... drastic.  EMMA    You got no fine feelings about seeing her hurt.  You would have-- CARTLAND    [getting annoyed] I'da punished her, yeah.  Now get out my way.  I'm done talkin! MUSIC RED    Lem, over here a minute. LEM    [queit] Yeah? [up]  Mister Baker, why don't you see if the lady of the house might be able to find you a spot to sleep tonight?  BAKER    And that charlatan? LEM    Doctor Sullivan?  You let me handle him.  Oh, and - sunset.  That's the time to deal with ghosts. BAKER    Sunset? LEM    So says my gran. BAKER    Right.  I am quite interested to see how this goes. SOUND    BAKER WALKS OFF LEM    Sorry about that. RED    What are you up to? LEM    Takin a tip from the bible.  You with me? RED    Spect so.  WISHWELL    Could I have a word with you, sir? LEM    [sigh] Spect so. MUSIC SOUND    TAPPING ON WOOD [Sullivan sounds very different, western, rather than citified, and is speaking quietly, to avoid being overheard] SULLIVAN    Melody?  Melody? FANSHAW    Hmph.  Praying indeed.  I would say he's rather old for her, but that moustache doesn't do much to hide a cheek that's barely seen a  razor. SULLIVAN    Please, Mel, honey!

SULLIVAN    There's enough people here got no patience left, I doubt but that she couldn't stop them.  Can't you turn this? MELODY    It's got away from me!  What can I do? SULLIVAN    Maybe just say you're cured? MELODY    And then what?  That leaves me here with folks that hate me and no chance o'nothin'?  No chance of... us?  I'll die first! SULLIVAN    I'll try and come up with something.  But if it comes down to it, stop them before they hurt you.  Please promise you will! MELODY    [grim] I'll do what I gotta do. MUSIC WISHWELL    What you fixing to do, sir? LEM    Come sunset, I'll take drastic measures to free that girl from her torment. WISHWELL    You sound like you might have to kill her. LEM    I'm sure the reverend - uh - doctor sullivan can speak you best on torment and the afterlife.  He's got a nose fer it. WISHWELL    But what exactly are you planning to do? FANSHAW    Don't turn round.  Sullivan is lurking.  LEM    [sigh]  I hate to see anyone in pain.  But sometimes, ain't no choice.  If'n there's a spirit a-punishin that child, it ain't gon be easy to spook it out.  I may have to shoot her. SOUND    [men - including RED, WISHWELL, react]  LEM    [matter of fact] Don't worry none, though.  I once shot a man eight times - a'purpose - and he din't die.  [shrug] Can't use one hand no more, but apart from that he all healed up jest fine. WISHWELL    [horrified] And Cartland's gonna let you go on and do this? LEM    I get the feeling that if his wife would allow, he'd do it hisself - he's that plumb wore out with the girl.

CARTLAND    Well, something's gotta be done with the girl.  FANSHAW    Is he serious, or did you have a chance to warn him? LEM    Glad to see you took my counsel serious, Mr. Cartland. FANSHAW    Ah.  CARTLAND    And now Wishwell, you and your boys can take my counsel - Git! WISHWELL    I'll be telling the sheriff about these goings on.  CARTLAND    You do that.  Sunset's about an hour away - you won't get there and back by then.  And I figure this way.  If my wife's sister can be bit by ghosts, maybe she can get shot by them too.  Ain't no one here gonna say otherwise, once all's said and done.

FANSHAW    Then this is just like Shakespeare - Romeo and juliet.  Families opposed to one another, romance between the younger generation. LEM    'Zat give us any aid with sorting out this rats nest? FANSHAW    Well, they both died.  So I guess not. LEM    Hmm.  Plays. FANSHAW    What are you thinking? LEM    Well...

FANSHAW    Paid to tell a tale? LEM    Ayup. FANSHAW    Solomon to Prince Escalus in one step.  I'm impressed. LEM    What are you jabberin on about? FANSHAW    That back there was Romeo and Juliet, was it not? LEM    Mebbe just a little.  [beat] You ever done any of them plays? FANSHAW    Oh, yes.  School.  LEM    You gotta be the one in the dress?  Like you were sayin?  You got a voice that might could pass. FANSHAW    Oh... [dropping voice as low as possible] No.  Actually, I often was the lead.  I even played romeo.  I was rather good at learning lines.  Of course, someone always had to put on the dress.  Boys and girls do not attend school together - not our sort of boys and girls, anyway. LEM    Seems like puttin a hat on a pig. FANSHAW    No.  It's just "theater." END

LEM    Not much further now. SULLIVAN    Excellent.  I am in your debt for all your help in getting me out here. LEM    Woulda been a mite easier if'n you were were saddled, stead of carted. Some of these ruts-- SULLIVAN     I've never been much of a horseman.  And this is a fairish wagon.  FANSHAW    Garish, rather. LEM    Well, I reckon it was cheap. SULLIVAN    Oh, yes.  They rented it to me at a very reasonable rate. FANSHAW    Ah, rented.  That explains why he has not repainted over the "Piewacket Players" placard on the side. SULLIVAN    I understand a couple of the actors are - um - incarcerated for some while.  Renting me the wagon and horses saved them board and stowage.  Everyone benefits. FANSHAW    Actually, some of these murals are rather good.  If the players are half as talented as their painter, it might be worth seeking out one of their performances. LEM    [dubious] I reckon. FANSHAW    [musing] King Lear.  Julius Caeser.  Romeo and Juliet.  [chuckles]  They seem to perform a lot of the classics.  Shakespeare. LEM    Mmm. FANSHAW    Did you know that in Shakespeare's day - some 250 years ago - it was illegal for women to perform on the stage? LEM    Hush. FANSHAW    Oh, Lem, do let me impart a little culture for once. LEM    [Annoyed grunt] FANSHAW    Particularly while you cannot argue.  As I was saying, back in the day, all the female parts were played by young men. SULLIVAN    Oh, goodness!  Look at that! LEM    [eager] Whatsat? SULLIVAN    That's an awfully steep hill up ahead.  You think the wagon can manage it? LEM    I reckon so, reverend. SULLIVAN    "Doctor", please.  I prefer it as an honorific. LEM    [puzzled] But you're a "man o' god"? SULLIVAN    And a man of science as well.  I firmly believe that the church cannot simply deny science, but must embrace it, and hand in hand we shall move forward into the next century! LEM    [dubious] A'right then. FANSHAW    Fervent, isn't he? SULLIVAN    Sorry.  I find I must defend myself constantly - both against those who find science and religion incompatible, and against those who pooh-pooh my branch of science entirely. LEM    Oh?  SULLIVAN    [defiant]  I have made a comprehensive study of the existence of ghosts. LEM    [choking back a cough]  OH. FANSHAW    Oh, dear. MUSIC MELODY    [off] [wailing, hysterics] SOUND    DOOR OPENS, WAILING UP CARTLAND    Don't that girl ever shut up? EMMA    Bart!  She swears she's being tormented. SOUND    DOOR SHUTS CARTLAND    Hysteria.  You women can't stop yourselves from being women, but the least you can do is keep quiet when a man wants to think. EMMA    What do you want me to do?  Lock her in a madhouse?  She's my own flesh and blood!  CARTLAND    Your sister is pitching a fit 'cause she ain't getting her own way.  Nothing more. EMMA    But what if it is something more? CARTLAND    I got that well in hand. EMMA    What?  How?  CARTLAND    Don't go questioning me, woman.  Where's my grub? MUSIC SULLIVAN    [pugnacious] Do you, or do you not believe in ghosts? FANSHAW    [short bark of a laugh] LEM    [dry]  I reckon I do. SULLIVAN     Many people believe that the supernatural is somehow at cross-purposes with the bible, but it isn't so.  Ever since Solomon, the wisest men in the good book studied the ways of the supernatural, in order to overcome it. LEM    Solomon.  Izzat the king fellow? FANSHAW    Famous for his wise judgment.  And not cutting up the baby. SULLIVAN    Traditionally, many have always believed that the dead may carry on, side by side with the living, unseen but always present. LEM    Ain't this more of a church question? SULLIVAN    What do you mean? LEM    Well, if you believe folks just hunker down once they passed on, then what you think of heaven? SULLIVAN    I don't believe every soul lingers.  Have you ever heard of Purgatory? FANSHAW    Oh, goodness. LEM    Ain't that a town in Nevada territory? SULLIVAN    In the bible, purgatory is a place where people who are not good enough to go to heaven nor evil enough to go directly to hell are judged. FANSHAW    Which bible, precisely? LEM    Guess I never got that far in bible learnin. SULLIVAN    It is the premise for all my theories that purgatory is not a place, but merely a "state"-- LEM    [playing dumb] Wyoming? [1890] FANSHAW    [grim] Ask him which bible. SULLIVAN    [trying not to get exasperated] --and that spirits that need to be redeemed, or to mend their ways, may in fact be "in purgatory" much like someone could be "in a foul temper" - right next to us. FANSHAW    Balderdash!  Utter rubbish! LEM    Looky there!  That should be the ranch now! MUSIC MELODY    [heavy breathing, end of crying jag] SOUND    TAP ON THE DOOR, DOOR OPENS EMMA    Melody?  Are you feeling a little better? MELODY    [sullen]  I been bit.

MELODY    No!!  They don't like the light!  I kin only open them at night. EMMA    [very upset] oh.  What can I do to help? MELODY    [disheartened]  Nothing.  EMMA    Are you hungry?  There's some good stew. MELODY    I can't.  I just can't. EMMA    Here, show me that bite. MUSIC LEM    [quiet] What's gnawing on you? FANSHAW    I do not consider myself a particularly religious fellow, but if there is one thing I have found quite frustrating about the wide open west it is that so many people simply decide that they are experts on this or that subject, and other people believe them, for lack of any alternatives. LEM    Mm? FANSHAW    He claims to know the bible, but then he goes on about this spiritism nonsense.  And purgatory!  I may not be a divinity scholar but a childhood of churchgoing taught me that that is a catholic conceit, and he's got it wrong anyway.  Purgatory was where souls waited out a period of penance, while their friends and family prayed for their release.  LEM    How'd they know if they got out? FANSHAW    I believe the priests would tell them.  It always smacked of extortion to me. LEM    [laughs]  Well.  How's all this gonna make a damn lick of difference just now? FANSHAW    What?  LEM    Whatever it is he believes - it gonna change the price of oats? FANSHAW    [sigh]  No.  LEM    Good.  That's cleared up, then.  Road's widenin up, and we'll be alongside the wagon agin soon.  MUSIC EMMA    We need to send Melody somewhere.  If only you had let her marry-- CARTLAND    She's 16 - too damn young, and don't know her own mind. EMMA    I know, but if she was away-- CARTLAND    Dammit woman.  You are my wife, and I will not be argued with. EMMA    Of course.  [beat]  Something bit her. CARTLAND    Bit?  Like a snake? EMMA    The marks....um... they looked-- CARTLAND    Oh, just spit it out. EMMA    They looked like they were made by a man! MUSIC SOUND    THEY ARE STOPPED. HORSES, HARNESS, DISMOUNT, ETC.

LEM    Right happy to help.  Why is it you were comin all the way out here in the first place?  [chuckles] Not to put on a play.

CARTLAND    Lotta effort to make you feel sorry for her. EMMA    If she's faking, then wouldn't the reverend know it? CARTLAND    Stick to the question at hand. EMMA    You're much less riled than you been in days - do you know something? CARTLAND    With two doctor types on hand, how can I not see a light at the end of this here tunnel? EMMA    Oh. CARTLAND    [almost gentle]  I'm waiting. EMMA    I agree - we can't, in good conscience, let her get her way through these kinds of shenanigans - always assuming she's-- CARTLAND    Yes, yes.  We're assuming. EMMA    But what can we do for punishment?  Lock her away?  I couldn't bear that. CARTLAND    What'choo think about schooling? EMMA    What? CARTLAND    Send her off to school - back east or somewheres where rich folks send their girls, and take the cost of the schooling out of her half the ranch.  We'll call it bail.

MUSIC LEM    I may not have the booklearnin y'all have, but I did have me a granny who did midwifing and could see and talk to all manner of spirits. SULLIVAN    Really?  How ...rustic BAKER    You should never pooh-pooh the lay folk.  Many have toiled in the fields of the supernatural without even realizing they did. Back home in-- SULLIVAN    Of course, it is only a pity that so often they were seen as enemies of the church and persecuted, rather than embraced and put to good works. FANSHAW    Good gad, they're even worse in harmony. LEM    Well, Granny once told me of a sure cure for a plague of spirits. BAKER    Oh yes? FANSHAW    Watch out, he'll write a monograph on your granny.  Did you really have one? LEM    O'course.  It ain't easy, and it ain't exactly safe.  But when the only other path is being ridden round with spirits all your life, it's sometimes a risk you gots to take. SULLIVAN    Dangerous? LEM    O'course.  You got to make the spirits flee outta the afflicted one, and t'only way to do it is to convince them you're about to kill that person. SULLIVAN    [horrified] KILL? BAKER    That makes a strange sort of sense. LEM    Best ways are violent.  You cain't sneak up behind 'em, since half the convincin has to be that the one what's afflicted gots to believe it.  FANSHAW    Mention the flagellants in the bible.  They used whips to cleanse themselves of-- SULLIVAN    But we can't - that-that poor girl! BAKER    I am not certain I could do it myself, but I would be most interested in observing. LEM    Oh, I can do it.  You two should oughta  make sure no one else gets in the way, though. SULLIVAN    But you wouldn't really hurt her? LEM    I s'pose it depends.  Sometimes, the spirits are figurin you wouldn't really hurt no one, and they hang on for the first hurt or two.  Like them fellas that whip themselves bloody right there in the bible. SULLIVAN    [horrified] Oh no!  I can't let you do that to any poor defenseless woman. LEM    Don't think it's your choice to make, old hoss.  BAKER    As long as she is afflicted, it will have to be dealt with.

WISHWELL    [horrified] And Cartland's gonna let you go on and do this? LEM    I get the feeling that if his wife would allow, he'd do it hisself - he's that plumb wore out with the girl. WISHWELL    And what if we all decide to stop you? LEM    I don't see as how it's any of your business. SOUND    GUNS OUT WISHWELL    [sterner] And what if we all decide to stop you?

FANSHAW    Ah.  CARTLAND    And now Wishwell, you and your boys can take my counsel - Git! WISHWELL    I'll be telling the sheriff about these goings on.  CARTLAND    You do that.  Sunset's about an hour away - you won't get there and back by then.  And I figure this way.  If my wife's sister can be bit by ghosts, maybe she can get shot by them too.  Ain't no one here gonna say otherwise, once all's said and done.

MELODY    [gasp] You know? LEM    I know a lotta things.  F'r'instance, tonight's gonna be an interestin night.  MUSIC FANSHAW    So if they're genuinely in love -- LEM    I think they are.  He's plumb torn up about the chance as she might get hurt.  Mebbe she's not so worried, but she seems true. FANSHAW    Then this is just like Shakespeare - Romeo and juliet.  Families opposed to one another, romance between the younger generation. LEM    'Zat give us any aid with sorting out this rats nest? FANSHAW    Well, they both died.  So I guess not. LEM    Hmm.  Plays. FANSHAW    What are you thinking? LEM    Well...

Dr Dave Cartland, a British GP and Biomedical Scientist joins us on the AJ Roberts Show today to discuss and share his own experiences over the last two years as a doctor within the NHS. Dr Cartland, who himself took the shots after seeing a friend pass away after at the time, what was believed to be Covid, very quickly realised all was not what it seemed. He shares with us today how the NHS system is severely broken, how holistic health has been tarnished by this ever growing pharmaceutical machine, but more importantly what we can do about it as communities to live a more fruitful and healthy life.

In this very special episode, Nick appears on the all-new 'Sweat Grit And Hustle' podcast, hosted by the amazing Tracy Cartland-Ward, where he talks about his story - from starting his own company to overcoming challenges and learning invaluable lessons along the way.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Nick's background writing copy gave him a leg up when starting his business. This allowed him to target a niche audience when launching, he already had contacts and expertise to get things off the ground. Then when his business had momentum, he diversified and that allowed him to grow and expand into different areas.  While giving advice on public speaking, Nick tells us that the chemicals in your brain when you're nervous are so similar to the chemicals that are there when you're excited. It's all about framing it in the right way. Are you really nervous, or are you excited?  Expert Empires champions female speakers. Nick wants Expert Empires to be a place where both aspiring men and women can come and learn. The decision to have a large female representation on their speaking panels is to re-address the balance. If you have 50% females coming to a talk then why would you use 80% male speakers.

Klädd i rosa klänning och med hår som spunnet socker visste romantikromanernas drottning Barbara Cartland hur man skapade sig en stil som väckte uppmärksamhet och sålde miljontals böcker. Författaren Barbara Cartland hann skriva 723 böcker, varav majoriteten kan sorteras in i den omåttligt populära genre som kallas för romance. Hon var de romantiska kärlekshistoriernas obestridliga mästarinna. Men utöver sin litterära produktivitet så stack Barbara Cartland ut med sin extraordinära stil. Hon klädde sig i rosa, sminkade sig med blå ögonskugga, använde skokräm som mascara och hade livet genom samma voluminösa frisyr. I veckans program dissekerar vi Barbara Cartlands frisyr. Vi tittar också närmare på den både älskade och avskydda tv-genren "dejtingsåpan" och undersöker hur författare och litteratur marknadsförs idag. Veckans gäst är Cecilia Hagen, journalist och författare.

Lundströms Bokradio special gör en nostalgisk resa tillbaka i tiden till romantikförfattaren Barbara Cartlands slott utanför Hatfield i England. Nina Asarnoj besökte henne där 1996, klädd i rosa. Romantikens drottning Barbara Cartland föddes 1901 och dog 2000, 98 år gammal. Hon var en av världens mest produktiva författare och vid sin död hade hon skrivit 723 böcker. Det renderar henne fortfarande en tredjeplats på den totala bästsäljarlistan i litteraturhistorien, efter Shakespeare och Agatha Christie, med en volym på 750 miljoner sålda böcker. Numera ligger hon också högt på e-bokslistorna och här i Sverige fortsätter hennes förlag att ge ut Barbara Cartlands berättelser om unga oskulder och cyniska hertigar, som ljudböcker och i e-boksformat. Nina Asarnoj träffade Barbara Cartland när hon fortfarande var i toppform, 95 år gammal, på det slott utanför Hatfield i England där hon bodde till sin död. Platsen är fortfarande helt orörd sedan hon lämnade den, och stängd för besökare. Musiken i programmet kommer från "Barbara Cartlands Album of Love Songs" som hon gjorde tillsammans med The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Mike Simmons Singers. Programmet är en repris från 1997. Programledare: Marie Lundström Producent: Nina Asarnoj
