Douglas Alexander, in a major speech, in Manchester, to the Labour Conference thanked the many English students and Labour Party fifth columnists that had invaded Scotland in the course of the referendum in support of the “Better Together” fear campaign. He gloated:
“Conference, we gather here in Manchester just days after a defining decision for the United Kingdom. The referendum campaign in Scotland was about more than party politics. It was about who we are, what we believe and what we hope for as one nation. And when, as Scottish supporters of the Union, we sent out the call to our friends and comrades in the Labour Party in England you answered that call. By coming to campaign alongside us, you demonstrated solidarity in action”.
Comment: The referendum was supposed to be about Scot’s deciding the future of their country. The bussing of many thousands of English born labour supporters was yet another example of the Unionist party’s philosophy of, “bugger the rules and rights win at any cost”.
It’s also why he was working with Israeli intelligence and Ben-Meneshe in the 1980s, and why he connected Jeffrey Epstein to the country.
According to Julian Leese, Jeffrey Epstein had come to England in 1981. Julian Leese is the son of the late Douglas Leese, an intensely private British businessman, and in late 2020, he gave his one media interview to podcast Defiance[3], which was investigating the Ghislaine Maxwell story. In that interview Leese said that
“Arms dealing was a very big part of Sir [sic—Leese was never knighted] Douglas Leese’s business,” said Hoffenberg, as well as “money laundering.
Jeffrey Epstein did substantial money laundering and arms dealing, that is not regulated the same way in America. The American rules are very much more conservative than the various countries in the Middle East and in Asia.”
In 1980, Epstein, was in a relationship with Paula Heil Fisher. They met Nick Leese, at a birthday party for a Texas oil man and made arrangements to meet again at some future date when they would be in London.
In 1981 Epstein was found guilty of insider trading, in violation of the rules of the “Securities and Exchange Commission.” and lost all his trading licenses. His employer, “Bear Sterns” terminated his employment and he relocated to England.
Epstein’s first contact soon after arrival was Nick Leese, who invited him to a family gathering during which he impressed all present as a youngish, 27 years old, highly intelligent, fun type of person.
Nick’s father, Douglas Leese, had built a rack-and-pinion steering business he had inherited from his father into a large and successful enterprise, one that was eventually sold to Americans.
Epstein soon became a close family friend and together with Douglas established a business relationships which included arm’s dealing and money laundering with counties in the middle East and Asia.
Leese and Epstein had a bust-up and split, when Leese discovered that Epstein was booking flights on “Concorde” and rooms in five-star hotels on Leese’s account. But Leese retained a grudging admiration for Epstein.
Leese introduced Epstein to Steven Hoffenberg in London, and told him that Epstein was “a genius and great at selling securities and he had no moral compass.”
Impressed, Hoffenberg hired Epstein to work for his debt collection firm Towers Financial in 1987.
Towers Financial was discovered to be a Ponzi scheme in 1993—one that Hoffenberg claimed Epstein ran, and had defrauded him of more than $100 million. Epstein, denied the allegation and cooperated with investigators. Then walked free.
Hoffenberg pleaded guilty to scamming investors out of $475 million and was sentenced to 20 years in prison (18 of which he served), plus a $1 million fine and payment of $463 million in restitution.
It was Hoffenberg who added to the story, stating that: “Jeffrey Epstein presented himself to Ghislaine Maxwell and Robert Maxwell jointly as a Wall Street investment banker, financial expert that could advise Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell in the problems they were having on Wall Street and in financing stress.” The Maxwells needed a $50 million bridge loan and Epstein helped them secure it. Greatly impressed, Maxwell recruited Epstein to work for him. Ghislaine Maxwell took a shine to Epstein, they became an item and with her father’s blessing started to dabble in blackmail. Ben-Menashe, Robert Maxwell’s Israeli espionage “handler” explained:
“They used to compromise people in different ways, especially embarrassing them or catching them in sexual misbehaviour with underage girls. He went on to say that Epstein, “started working with the Israelis, bringing them information about the people he was meeting and so on and so forth, and then he made them an offer. He said, “We can do this permanently, Ghislaine adds value since she fully supports me and I cannot not work alone.”
Ghislaine Maxwell- What made her a honeypotter?
Growing up under an abusive, controlling, multimillionaire patriarch is dangerous enough, but Ghislaine was newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell’s favourite, the youngest of nine, who regularly witnessed her father attacking and humiliating one sibling or another at dinner, while not being subjected to that treatment herself. Even worse than suffering through a toxic environment, young Ghislaine flourished in one, experiencing it as a place in which she was loved.
Then, in the latter part of her youth, she was part of an Oxford University clique full of people with rich families behind them and personal fortunes soon to follow. That’s always likely to create a selfish, entitled individual, but as the daughter of a refugee immigrant – and a boorish, vulgar one at that – Maxwell was always overcompensating for never quite being one of the establishment gang. Her brand of pampered arrogance had an undercurrent of desperation, we hear.
In her giddy 20s, Maxwell combined nepotistically awarded jobs in journalism with her main occupation, being a “socialite” – that is, someone who throws parties without having anything to celebrate but the party itself. Overbearing confidence and aggressive attention-seeking are core qualities of anyone fulfilling that role, and some of the stories related here about Maxwell’s time as a queen bee in yuppie late-80s London are eccentric or awful, while still being relatively unremarkable – rudely dismissing a woman at a party before marching off with her husband, for instance, or hosting an event wearing just a bra and pants, teamed with full jewellery and makeup.
If there is a wider lesson to be learned, it’s about how the empty, untethered lives of the very rich create a breeding ground for sociopaths, but other anecdotes about Maxwell’s behaviour offer a direct foreshadowing of her future as a handmaiden for extreme misogyny. One appalled witness recalls a party game in which male guests were blindfolded, presented with a series of topless female guests, and challenged to match the breasts they were groping to their owners: “If a man suggested it, I don’t think the women would have done it.”
There are some nuggets of gossip that don’t help with the specific task at hand, but which only a supremely restrained documentarist would leave out, such as Maxwell apparently claiming she maintained the svelte physique deemed essential for a host on the social circuit by following “the Nazi diet” – that is, aping the very low-calorie intake of concentration-camp inmates. The joke would be transgressive in any circumstances but, coming from someone with a father who lost his parents, four siblings and scores of extended family members in the Holocaust, it acquires a different flavour.
Whatever your take on that, there is a long leap to be made from Maxwell’s life as a doyenne of high society, albeit an obnoxious and occasionally disturbing one, to her becoming the monster of the title, a procurer of girls for a paedophile rapist. What is clear is that Maxwell’s life pivots around the night in November 1991 when her father fell off the side of his superyacht – the Lady Ghislaine – and drowned. At this point she based herself in New York and quickly became Jeffrey Epstein’s lover, partner, best pal, consigliere or some combination of all four, replacing the malign patronage of her father with another wealthy, powerful, poisonous man.
John Kiriakou, an ex-CIA agent outlined the artistry of the “honeypot” spy craft.
He explained, “What any intelligence officer wants to do, needs to do to get promoted, to make a name for himself or herself is to recruit spies to steal secrets. The job really is as basic as that. Your job is to recruit spies to steal secrets. And one of the oldest tricks in the intelligence book is the use of what are called honeypots. What 50 or 60- or 70-year-old man doesn’t want to have a beautiful blonde on his arm, right? And usually, men who are powerful and wealthy are willing to pay for it.”
He also noted that the spy agencies like to work with families. Robert Maxwell’s daughter would have been of value because Maxwell had been of value in passing on information to Israel (and Britain and the Soviet Union), as part of her DNA.
“When I look at Ghislaine Maxwell, my immediate thought is, ‘What a terrific natural operations officer’” Kiriakou said. “She was a social butterfly, she liked the parties, she liked being out there with people. She was an extrovert. She’s good looking. She had plenty of money. People want to be around her. If I were a case officer looking for someone to introduce me to a target, I would want Ghislaine Maxwell. Can you imagine how great it would be if you were an operations officer to go up to Ghislaine Maxwell and say, ‘Hey, can you introduce me to the Iranian ambassador?’”
Epstein and Maxwell fully engaged in their blackmail business once Maxwell had set up in New York City, which she officially did after the death of her father. But Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were together in London in the mid-to-late 1980s, and ex-CIA agent John Kiriakou believes that Epstein was helping Maxwell hide his money—money that would eventually land back in his lap with Ghislaine.
“One of the things that people aren’t talking about is Ghislaine Maxwell’s father’s money,” said Kiriakou. “He had his own criminal past. It involved vast sums of money. He’s been accused of all different kinds of financial crimes over the years, and I can’t help but to think that he helped her hide her money, she helped him hide his money. Epstein helped him hide his money, and vice-versa. Can you imagine how complicated this is? Can you imagine the details involved in hiding these vast sums of money?”
And in order to understand just how much money could have been “hidden” we need to go back to March 1991, when Robert Maxwell was the toast of New York City, for buying and saving the city’s iconic paper, the Daily News. His daughter Ghislaine was in the city as well, working with her father on his latest media baron venture. And during that time, she was laying the foundation for her work as a sex trafficker and blackmailer with Jeffrey Epstein.
1990: Epstein took ownership of the Palm Beach mansion and smaller house nearby, from Laurel Inc, a company based in Tampere, Finland.
The Finnish connection was arranged by Robert Maxwell who introduced Epstein to the ultra-Zionist and gangster friendly, Finnish-British, Zabludowich (J) family who had worked with him from the 1940s smuggling mortars ad other munitions from Tampere, to Jewish terrorist groups in Palestine.
Shlomo Zabludowich later formed a joint arms manufacturing venture between Tampella and Israel.
For over half a century Shlomo, the patriarch of the Zabludowich family, and his son Poju have been members of a close-knit group of ultra-Zionist billionaires who maintained close links to the Kosher Nostra.
Son Poju, emerged unscathed from many self created difficulties, including allegations of sexual harassment, questionable sex parties and the Panama papers scandal. He was also suspected of bribing the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. The Times of Israel called it the ”gifts affair.”

He is a significant financial donor to the Conservative Party and enjoys friendships with many senior government ministers, in particular David Cameron, one of the UK’s sleaziest P.M . : Full history of Cameron and his links to the money laundering, HSBC.

Ghislaine Maxwell was not involved with Epstein at that time. More on her next time
The sordid details of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s unwholesome dealings with communist China continue to emerge, including the shocking revelation that Newsom is quietly funnelling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the communist Chinese regime in exchange for political favours.
Because California is certifiably bankrupt and on the verge of total economic collapse, Newsom appears to have forged a backroom deal with the Chicoms that involves him handing over taxpayer dollars in exchange for political bailouts. These include keeping California artificially afloat, as well as Newsom in office, at least until China can get troops on the ground as part of a planned nationwide takeover.
As it turns out, China fully supports, and is possibly even a financial backer of, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa, the two most well-known domestic terrorist groups making the rounds destroying property, tearing down statues, burning entire city blocks, and shooting innocent people. The destabilization these groups are causing is all part of the Chinese takeover plan, in other words. Natural News has already established that China is providing full-auto weapons upgrade parts to Black Lives Matter through a smuggling operation that was interdicted by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).
How Newsom fits into the picture is that he has turned California into a port of entry for China to smuggle in weapons and other gear for the soon-to-be second civil war that has been planned for America. And the truly sick part is that Newsom is laundering money back and forth with the Chinese under the guise of “coronavirus aid.”
Back in April, even the mainstream media was questioning what Newsom was up to when it was revealed that he had wired half a billion dollars to an electric car company in China to supposedly purchase “N-95 masks” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). This decision was never voted on or approved by legislators, and when pressed about the details of the deal, Newsom refused to disclose them.
Keep in mind that this half a billion dollars was just the first of two installments amounting to a full billion dollars being sent China to supposedly purchase face masks for Californians – face masks that never actually arrived, by the way. As of this writing, the Chinese electric car company in question, BYD, still has the money and has yet to send over a single face mask.
“That’s because this isn’t a billion dollars for ‘masks,'” writes Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in an exposé on Newsom’s treasonous criminality. “It’s part of a massive money laundering operation to funnel money to China, so that China can funnel money and weapons back to Newsom in preparation for the civil war that they’re launching.”
None of this is conjecture, by the way. Newsom himself admitted to it personally during a television interview, though he refused to provide any details about the nature of the agreement that was made with BYD.
This massive transfer of taxpayer money to some obscure Chinese vehicle manufacturer was never voted on by the taxpayers from whom the money was stolen, nor has there been any accountability concerning how it was used. In fact, nobody even knows how it was used because the whole thing took place under the table.
Instead of using this money to help actual Californians, many of whom are jobless and barely scraping by, Newsom instead redirected it to his communist buddies across the Pacific under the guise of purchasing face masks.
Even if it was true that all this money went towards masks, which we know it certainly did not, Newsom at the very least could have instead invested it locally to have the masks produced in the state of California by actual Californians. This would have helped the state economy by keeping people employed.
But no, that was never what this was all about. Newsom pretended to spend this pile of taxpayer cash on face masks as cover for a massive money laundering scheme that effectively hands the reins of power over to China in exchange for Newsom’s own political protection.
By selling Californians down the river and giving China the beachhead it has been trying to establish on America’s western coast, Newsom is ensuring that he will remain on China’s good side once the dust settles and the new world order emerges.
As we reported, Newsom is directly facilitating the transfer of weapons and ammunition from China to the United States, where much of it is now being stored at the Easy End Complex in Sacramento. Pallets upon pallets of Chinese munitions are being stockpiled right underneath our noses, and Americans have Newsom the traitor to thank for what is soon to transpire.
“Essentially, Gov. Newsom has been stockpiling weapons and ammo in preparation for a civil war that he’s been helping to make reality,” notes the Health Ranger, who further warns that this all aligns with Barack Obama’s infamous vision concerning the future of America:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set … We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded,” Obama proclaimed to his cheering worshipers.
To sum it all up, Newsom is quietly paving the way for Obama’s civilian national security force to come to fruition by working directly with China to stockpile weapons and ammo. He is also helping to foment the violent division that is tearing apart our country so that China and other new world order players can swoop in when the time is just right and seize control.
Following a series of other preliminary events, many of which we are now witnessing on a daily basis, the eventual outcome will be mass death in America followed by a staged military invasion by China. This will spell the final end of America as we know it, and Americans will have Newsom, among others, to thank.

Alec Salmond warns Scots of more of Swinney’s treachery
Alex launched a brutal broadside against Swinney as he accused him of “making independence impossible” in this General Election. And he also claimed that the First Minister was “reprising” his failed 2003 Holyrood campaign where he lost eight seats.
Alec was reacting to an interview Swinney did with ITV News in which he confessed that he would support Devo Max instead of gaining a second independence referendum.
The SNP strategy is to win a majority of the seats at the next General Election and then plead with the Prime Minister to give them the power to hold another vote. but Westminster has already rejected the notion of such an event.
Swinney was asked whether he would support more powers for Holyrood instead of a referendum, and admitted he would.
He said: “I have never, my record says that I have never resisted strengthening of the powers of the Scottish Parliament. I was part of the Smith Commission which brought more power, the very tax powers that you’ve asked me about, came from the Smith Commission, of which I was a member. So I will always try to build the powers of the Scottish Parliament. I’m a believer in independence, I think independence is the answer for Scotland, but I will always work constructively to strengthen the powers of the Scottish Parliament. The real challenge we face is over the last few years since Brexit the powers of the Scottish Parliament have been eroded by the UK Government.”
He was asked if he wanted to see these extra powers being offered in the Labour manifesto and confirmed he did, and wanted Scots to “have the opportunity to decide their own future.” But the interview was highlighted by Alec Salmond as proof that the SNP had given up the push for Scexit.
Alec said: “Now we know why independence is off the SNP ballot paper. These interviews from Swinney are so wrong on so many levels. All experience shows that the ONLY circumstances when Westminster offers more powers for Scotland, is when they are frightened of independence and since the SNP are not campaigning for independence then Labour have no need to concede anything. As Swinney told Nick Robinson, of the BBC, the SNP is campaigning for a ‘democratic effect’ forcing Starmer to permit a referendum to which he already knows the answer is “no”.
A timely reminder
In 2003, Swinney led the SNP to a calamatous result in the Holyrood election, losing eight seats and seeing the vote share drop by 4.9% which was the beginning of the end for his reign as he was forced to resign after another bad showing in the European Parliament elections and was replaced by Mr Salmond. Luddite as he is Swinney is destined to repeat his mistakes condemnimg Scots to many more years of Westminster abuse. Thank you Mr Swinney.
Summarised from an article written by the political correspondent David Walker,
Ask most people about Zionism and they will say “that’s the Jews”, but while this is the impression the Rothschild networks in politics and the media have sought very successfully to “sell” as “common knowledge”, it is not true.
It represents only a minority of them and many others who are not Jewish.
Rothschild Zionism in its public expression is a political ideology based on a homeland for Jewish people in Palestine and a belief that the Jews are God’s ‘chosen race’ with a God-given right to the ‘promised land’ of Israel.
They also believe that the real borders of Israel must encompass what is now Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank still officially occupied by the Palestinians, plus Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Jordan, or, as Genesis puts it: “… from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates”.
That’s the public expression of Zionism, but at its inner core, it is a secret society created and controlled by the House of Rothschild.
They have sought to sell the ‘Zionism-means-all-Jewish-people’ lie so that they can condemn as ‘anti-Semites’ and ‘racists’ anyone who exposes the truth about Rothschild Zionism and its agents in government, banking, business, media, military etc.
This is why, (with the exception of one) politicians and political commentators decline to make any negative comments about Israel
1 Nov 2016: SNP Deputy Leader says Scotland can play a constructive role in the Middle East as he leads official Israel visit
The SNP launched its first official trip to Israel as part of ambitious plans for Scotland to play a role in helping achieve peace in the Middle East.
Angus Robertson led an official delegation to the region, saying he had been “encouraged to explore whether there was any way Scotland could offer help and assistance.”
He added that both the Israeli Ambassador and the Palestinian envoy to the UK welcomed his interest adding that small nations had already shown they could play a positive role, citing the example of the Oslo accords.
It was good to witness the SNP government adopting an enlightened view of politics in the middle east. It deserved praise.
Scottish Jews should step up and get involved in Scottish politics After all they fought and died for the right to be counted in
Scottish Jews should be encouraged to fully participate in the struggle for independence and when achieved the development of an independent Scotland free of any racist policies or activities.
Scotland has a proud record of welcoming immigrants of all nationalities. It is the only country in Europe that has never forced Jews to leave. The Declaration of Arbroath States “There is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman.”
Scottish Jews: France 1917
Many of these young men never made it home and are buried in the fields of Flanders. There is one distinguishing factor linking these brave soldiers. They were all Jews.
The lack of any Jewish contribution to the independence debate and subsequent referendum, over the future of Scotland was a cause for concern.
While not huge in number in Scotland the Jewish community is, (and has been for many centuries) an integral and important part of Scottish society. It was crucial for them to be involved in mainstream Scottish politics so that their voices would be heard.
A “Friends of Israel” group should be set up within Holyrood so that voices of moderation can be heard. The people of Scotland fully support the State of Israel and it’s right to exist, in peace with it’s neighbours.
But Scotland also supports the Palestinians and their right to exist also as a country, at peace with its neighbours. The Scottish public, (and I include Scottish Jews) do not condone the aggression of the “Rothschild Zionist” government of Israel and it’s the pursuit of policies directed against the Palestinians.
“Might is not right”.
Scottish Jews march with Palestine supporters for a just peace
The Jewish Chronicle published an article penned by a Scottish Jew and I added it to this blog
Why I want Scottish Independence By Frank Angell
I am a Scottish Jew — and I am wholeheartedly voting Yes on September 18, and so are others of my acquaintance. Scotland’s strength is the diversity of the many cultures and faiths that thrive in our communities. Each culture brings with its values, ideas and innovations that enrich our arts, our language and our lives. It is fewer than 200 years since Jews first came to Scotland in significant numbers. Since then, Jewish workers and entrepreneurs have helped to grow Scotland’s economy, while Jewish writers, artists and performers have contributed to our culture. Our community may be a relatively small one, but we have been shown every courtesy and respect by First Minister Alex Salmond and his team of ministers since they came to office in 2007. Indeed, one of Mr Salmond’s early acts as First Minister was to visit Scotland’s only Jewish school at the start of Chanukah and to meet representatives from the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities. In 2009, the Jewish community was, rightly, included in the first meeting to take place between the Scottish government cabinet and faith group leaders in Scotland. And I was proud when the SNP government became the first administration in Scotland to directly fund visits by school children to Auschwitz-Birkenau, under the Lessons from Auschwitz Project run by the Holocaust Educational Trust — with an additional £500,000 funding announced just last year to secure the future of this vital project. These are just some examples of the interaction that takes place between Jewish representatives and the Scottish government, with positive outcomes on virtually every occasion. I would hazard that it is a rather closer relationship with the leading ministers in Scotland than our fellow Jews south of the border enjoy with Westminster — and one which is replicated by other communities and interest groups in Scotland, whether that be other faiths, business organisations, trade unions, and so on. I do not claim that Scotland is perfect, with no problems of intolerance or prejudice. But our history is at least unstained by anti-Jewish discrimination, rare among European nations, and our 14th-century independence Declaration of Arbroath contains the statement:
“There is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman.”
These are ancient words, but they still seem a fine sentiment to usher in a new Scotland in the 21st century. As we look forward to the referendum, there is a wave of optimism, and people across Scotland are realising that we now have a chance to make our country better for all who live here and reshape the way we are regarded by the rest of the world. I want independence, and I also want the common ground across all the strands that make up our Scottish tartan to be the foundation for the new Scotland. I want Scotland to embrace the future as an independent country — and I believe that we will do so with conviction and tolerance.
The 2014 Independence Referendum and – Mrs Mundy a charity worker from Edinburgh.
She was undecided on which way to vote when interviewed a year ago. But with less than a week to go, she decided to tick the yes box. She said:
“I do prefer the devo-max option and it’s interesting but disappointing that Westminster and the media offered us that at the last minute but I’ll not change my vote now, adding. I think Westminster politicians did not take the needs of the Scottish people seriously and now they are panicking. I am not sure what Scotland’s foreign policy will be towards Israel but Scottish Jews will have a much closer connection to its politicians and greater influence than is the case at the present time.”
Scottish Jew, Frank Angell, A former Scottish National Party council nominee, said:
“The anti-Israel feeling in Scotland does worry me but not as far as independence is concerned. It hasn’t been any better in England and although the Scottish Parliament is currently not pro-Israel, policies change. But we need strong convictions in taking the case for Israel to the wider community in Scotland and I’m not currently seeing that.”
Drug manufacturers and regulators have been under intense political pressure from Governments to deliver a safe vaccine. AstraZeneca reported it expected to be able to introduce a coronavirus vaccine with a success rate of 90%-10% before Christmas 2020, but the announcement was premature.
Shortly after the announcement, US (Food and Drug Administration) regulators, (FDA) stopped trials so it could conduct a probe into an adverse event reported in the UK involving a patient on a trial of the vaccine who fell ill with unexplained neurological symptoms, previously believed to be consistent with transverse myelitis.
At that time the regulation of vaccines, which are technically biologics, fell to the remit of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) which supported the American initiative. But Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, announced that the UK would bypass the EMA’s regulatory regime and grant a production and distribution license to AstraZeneca enabling the roll-out of a vaccination programme in the UK, from December 2020. Take a look at the AstraZeneca share price below:
The EMA Rolling Review Procedure
At the beginning of October 2020, the EMA started the first ‘rolling review’ of the COVID-19 vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca in collaboration with the University of Oxford. This meant that the committee had started evaluating the first batch of non-clinical data on the vaccine. It did not mean that a conclusion would be reached on the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, since much of the evidence had not yet been submitted.
The rolling review programme is a regulatory tool that the EMA used to speed up the assessment of a promising medicine or vaccine during a public health emergency. Normally, all data on a medicine’s effectiveness, safety, and quality, and all required documents must be submitted at the start of the evaluation in a formal application for marketing authorization.
Buy in the case of a rolling review, EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP) reviewed data as it became available from ongoing studies. When the CHMP decided that sufficient data was available, the formal application would be submitted by the company. In reviewing the data as it became available, the CHMP would reach an opinion sooner on whether or not the medicine or vaccine would be authorized.
There were at least 64 companies worldwide involved in the research and production of a safe vaccine and many are nearing production. So it was expected that a number of vaccines, perhaps safer and more efficacious would be available to the market in the early months of 2021.
Time will be the judge that will decide if the UK Governments’ decision is right.
2 June 2014: Just let me ask the wife!!! says Civil Servant and UK Tory Government Cabinet Secretary
Sir Jeremy Heywood advised the Prime Minister to prevent a takeover bid from Pfizer for its British rival AstraZeneca.
And just as it happened that Heywood’s wife (who worked for McKinney’s) had only just recently written a report, circulated to Tory politicians, advising pharmaceutical firms to restructure, including mergers with rivals, ‘to navigate turbulent times’. What did she know that other’s didn’t?
The Pfizer bid was subsequently withdrawn. Heywood and his wife’s role’s needed to be independently investigated. But that didn’t happen.
Brexit Uncertainty
AstraZeneca, headquartered in Cambridge UK, is the world’s fifth-largest pharmaceutical company. It is on record as saying that a hard Brexit would mean moving some of its operations away from the UK.
An company spokesman said that moving manufacturing takes several years but the likelihood of the company relocating to the EU is high, in the event of a hard Brexit and the company had taken the first steps in planning for a scenario in which no divorce deal is reached between the UK and the EU by the 31 December 2020 deadline.
