 Who and what is Independent Sage? Independent Sage is a group that describes itself as a group of scientists who are working together to provide independent scientific advice to the UK government and public on how to minimise deaths and support Britain's recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Who is in this group? Well, that's very interesting. Some reports over recent months have revealed that the group is packed with left-wing activists. An NHS doctor, for example, has expressed concern that there is, quote, something quite disingenuous about a supposedly independent scientific group being formed by what appears to be a political organisation. Unsurprisingly, the National Press has given this group an enormous platform. For a two-week period, this group appeared on BBC Newsnight, Sky News, BBC Politics Live, ITV News and In The Guardian. Independent Sage is at the forefront of criticising any measures by the government to ease restrictions and the press gives it a platform to do so. Once again, this is unsurprising. The press across the board is presenting the easing of restrictions in a negative light and has been hyping up the coronavirus crisis from the get-go. The media, as we know, does tend to sympathise with left-wing views and groups while disallowing any dissent. The easing of coronavirus restrictions is no different. One incredible example of press bias was the BBC's Panorama. It was entitled The Disinformation War. In other words, right there in the title, you are told that there is only one side to this debate, the pro-vaccine side. Anti-vaccine is disinformation. In this documentary, Dr Vernon Coleman was castigated as a misinformer. He was one of many. But what's interesting is that while the BBC spoke about Dr Coleman, they didn't speak to him. His views were matter-of-factly dismissed. There's no debate, no dissenting view. Disagreement with the BBC narrative is the stuff of cranks. No evidence for either side was put forward. This unfortunately is modern-day journalism. One side of the narrative put forward, those who disagree are dismissed and all as a matter of fact. While the press will talk about people smearing and slandering them, they don't speak to those people so there's no chance for them to answer back. As Independent Sage demonstrates, the left-wing is keen on coronavirus restrictions. They are keen on these restrictions for political reasons, not scientific ones. Massive state control of our everyday lives. It's no wonder the left admires it so much. That's the left control. And what the left-wing wants, the press wants. The media is always happy to present left-wing views as the only views worth listening to. It goes without saying, this is not democracy. Open debate is gone, before Britain will bring it back. We insist that all sides of a debate are presented in the media and people therefore able to make up their own minds about any given issue. So join us, insist on debate, insist on truth, insist on the right to dissent.
