Up to 10 years in prison for violating quarantine rules...whatever next?
Health Secretary Matt Hancock yesterday announced severe penalties for those not complying with the new border quarantine arrangements, including a 10 year prison term for lying about where you have travelled from. How much further can these draconian measures go before the public relent?

When it comes to solutions, all the focus has so far gone on one key medical intervention. But we've already seen on the Pandemic Podcast that there could be others.
My guest today is Patrick Holford who is campaigning for a simpler, proven, potentially more cost-effective solution, one that we all have unlimited access to if we choose to incorporate it into our lives.
If this comes across as coded language then we have to take it as a sign of the times that a reference to nature’s capacity to heal is considered controversial.
Patrick Holford is a leading spokesman on nutrition and health and founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. He is the author of 45 books, translated into more than 30 languages, including The Optimum Nutrition Bible, and, most recently, Flu Fighters.
We will be exploring these themes in the context of our current situation and considering a path we could be choosing compared to the one we’re going down, with its many attendant implications.

LIVE interview with Nick Hudson, founder of PANDA - Pandemics Data and Analytics
Nick set out with a simple mission to challenge the scientific basis of lockdowns using data and founded PANDA.
PANDA has now grown into a global organisation supported by many doctors, scientists, legal professionals and many other key leaders.
In this interview we will discuss what led Nick to starting the organisation, progress to date and what is next for PANDA

First there were lockdowns. Then came the vaccines. Next, the idea that certain parts of society might be for the vaccinated only – enabled by smartphone-based vaccine passports.
But is this momentum towards social control the precursor of digital biometric ID? Will the state require us all to sacrifice our independence and free will to participate in society?
Is this all an inexorable move towards an Orwellian dystopia where we are coerced into constant surveillance, or get effectively side-lined by society?
Could we also be looking at central digital currencies, tied to our identity – that could be turned off if we don’t behave, don’t obey?
Or is digital ID merely an inevitable next stage of our adoption of technology?
Join me for this important discussion with Jeffrey Peel, founder of TECH: The New Era for an in depth exploration of where all this could be heading and how YOU can join the debate.

As more of us start questioning the narrative that’s been driving our lives for what’s starting to feel like forever, the concept of peaceful protest as a means of standing up for our rights is fast gaining momentum.
Among those leading the way are the brains behind A Stand in the Park, launched just a few months ago and already adopted in more than 450 locations across the world, including at a growing number of green spaces in the UK.
A Stand in the Park is rapidly becoming a magnet every Sunday between 10am and 11am for those of us who have simply had enough and want to come together to stand for ‘unity, freedom, and personal truth’. No leaflets, no slogans, nothing to provoke any kind of a response, just literally standing in a park.
So what led Australian founder Brady Gunn and old friend and travelling companion Sophia Rose — who manages the UK operation — to come up with this ridiculously simple idea that has so quickly grabbed the public’s imagination worldwide?
Join me at 10:00 GMT tomorrow when I’ll be exploring the story behind A Stand in the Park with both Brady and Sophia.

In 2016 the Government ran a simulation called Exercise Cygnus to evaluate how well the UK could handle a hypothetical respiratory pandemic. The results were so ‘terrifying’ that Whitehall attempted to not just bury the report’s findings but sue any newspaper that tried to run the story.
Exercise Cygnus participants included the then health secretary Jeremy Hunt and 950 other Government officials who were collectively tasked with managing the simulated pandemic and theoretically saving lives. Their decisions and overall strategy were however based on outdated and poorly-planned policies, which resulted in ventilators being switched off, hospital patients being moved into care homes, and bodies piling up for mass burial.
My guest today is Dr Lee Jones, a reader in International Politics at Queen Mary University in London and a member of the Health Advisory and Recovery Team (HART). He has openly criticised the Government for a Covid response that led to the UK having higher than average numbers of deaths despite the sixth toughest lockdown strategy in the world.
Dr Jones has written extensively on the management of transnational problems including pandemic disease in his book Governing Borderless Threats: Non-Traditional Security and the Politics of State Transformation. He asserts that the UK is a ‘failed regulatory state’, another reason the Government responded so badly to the Covid-19 challenge. He also believes that if the Government had addressed even a few of the failings raised in the Cygnus report, which was eventually published in 2020, things could have been very different.
Join me today at 8pm BST when we will be discussing what went wrong with the Government’s strategy, how it can be put right, and what must be done so that further lockdowns and deaths can be avoided.

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING IN INDIA?
Just as we in the UK were beginning to enjoy ‘new’ freedoms, we’re now being presented with a fresh threat — from India this time — and yet another apparent example of how things can get very bad, very quickly.
In this episode we’ll be taking a more detailed look at some of the statistics, together with reports coming out of India that appear to somewhat go against the grain of the mainstream narrative we’re being presented with.
Looking at the whole picture, including the background to this recent apparent upturn in cases, I’ll be questioning whether India’s current experience is a dire warning we all need to pay attention to and asking whether could it be preparing the ground for potentially another round of lockdowns closer to home?
OR are there some simpler, less alarming, explanations? As always, there’s much more happening behind the statistics and headlines than it seems at first glance - whatever is happening, my heart goes out to all those who are suffering.
Together we will get through this.
Join me at 17:30 UK time for this latest deep dive.

After 15 months of lockdowns, social distancing, and relentless fear-mongering, many of us — particularly the young — are experiencing significantly more stress, anxiety and depression than ever before. With no end in sight and the goalposts shifting yet again, what strategies can we learn to help us cope with the chaos? How can we surf the unpredictability and maintain inner peace and outer success?
My guest today is an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker who has coached Olympic gold medallists and helped A list actors achieve their dreams. Jean-Pierre De Villiers is a performance coach, elite cyclist, former Thai boxer, triathlete, and author of several best-selling books on how to change your mindset and create a life that will take you to the next level.
Jean-Pierre grew up in South Africa where he suffered a difficult childhood, losing his father to suicide at age 13. Bullied at school, he found safety in sport and self-development, so much so that he 'became his first client'. He went on to become a successful international DJ but after the partying took its toll and depression hit hard, he once again looked to his passion and purpose of self-development and coaching.
Two decades on, and having worked with CEOs, celebrities and other motivational coaches like the legendary Tony Robbins, JP is in high demand. His hugely successful three-month coaching program — Ordinary to the Extraordinary — has helped people all over the world.
Join me today at 5pm BST to learn more about Jean-Pierre's story and discover his top strategies for protecting your energy, overcoming personal obstacles, and thriving during the pandemic."
