Dec. 10-17, 2025 — The British government’s push to limit jury trials is a double-pronged strategy designed to both exert more undemocratic control on downtrodden people and to cover up corruption at the highest level, according to a maverick former member of parliament.
The Keir Starmer-Labour government’s push to limit jury trials (superficially to ease a backlog of cases) will mean sinister politicians, judges, regulators and corporate executives will only need to garner the support of a single corrupt judge to pressure a citizen and bend them to their will.
The jury-cutting plan is designed not only to underscore the futility of resisting an increasingly autocratic government, it supports an even wider abusive economic and political system.
It will lower the chance that anyone might hold corrupt leaders and judges to account for their multiple past crimes, including racketeering, manipulating justice and child-sexual abuse. The elite are not necessarily all sexually depraved in a personal way, yet the extent of the use of sexual blackmail needs to be investigated, it seems pretty clear to me.
It’s designed to “intimidate the public, the general population, into submission. It’s a double edged sword,” former Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said in an interview Wednesday. “It IS to protect them (the elite), but it’s also to show the public [not to] step out of line. [It’s to show] We’ve got all the levers of power to stamp on you. They can’t really police everybody, but they can get everyone, or most people, to police themselves.”
‘We’ve got all the levers of power to stamp on you.‘
Bridgen is part of a widening movement of political groups and whistleblowers trying to push for much more than incremental change to the British and wider economic and multilateral systems that control the lives of 8 billion souls on earth.
The former politician lost his North West Leicestershire seat in last year’s national election, a result he questions, citing funny business with ballot papers.
The United Kingdom’s brand of aggressive, undemocratic politics has spread to America over decades and it’s now displayed in UN President Donald Trump’s refusal to release the Epstein files that would reveal sex-blackmail scandals and corruption at the top of the USA.
Proper disclosure of what has gone on would probably blow up many more than half the political careers in US federal politics, Bridgen said.
Other folk have been calling sex bribery out for decades and the mess it has caused is alive in the likes of the Gaza child brutality and allegations against the London mayor.
Bridgen claimed today (Wednesday, Dec. 10) that hundreds of visitors to Epstein Island held a British passport. He declined to say how he knows this, mentioning well-placed, yet mysterious US-based people familiar with the situation.
This claim seems doubtful partly because a 2024 Epstein Island visitor tracking effort by “Wired” estimated about 200 visitors to that place.
Bridgen also claims climate data is manipulated to exaggerate the threat of warming because higher CO2 levels will make plantlife thrive …and demand more CO2.
Even if some of his claims are flawed (I’m not saying categorically they are), Bridgen’s words are still important because he is one of a few thinkers that have been near power who are right now bravely grappling with this essential question in the public realm: Who specifically is to blame for the dire state of the world, with its widespread human-rights trampling and gawping inequality?
Last month, in a funky corner off Brick Lane just outside the border of the City of London, Bridgen somewhat surprisingly said Britain is largely to blame for the world’s ills:
“We are the head of the snake in this country. We exported it. This is the most corrupt country in the world. Many of the apples in the (institutional) barrels are rotten. Any apple that wants to rise to the top has to be willing to rot.”
Politicians and institutions from the judiciary and the police to schools, the press and regulators are all complicit in protecting an elite rather than the people they are meant to serve, he said.
The UK says it’s struggling with the backlog (note in this podcast how the journalists don’t ask the big questions …isn’t this a power grab by Starmer/Lammy? …even though the reporters seem a little confused why Lammy is “going to so much trouble”.
Bridgen does not claim to hold detailed solutions to all the problems, but he’s hopeful that growing numbers of people are waking up to the seriousness of the situation….which in turn will widen the appetite for non-incremental change.
One idea is to implement a widespread transaction tax to incentivise against removing money from Britain and encourage internal investment. It would replace the current tax system which is riddled with loopholes and is not serving taxpayers, and it would boost government revenue, he said. (I will report more on this later.)
Six left-leaning UK politicians pushing for major political change include Zarah Sultana, Zack Polanski, Clive Lewis, Caroline Lucas, Jeremy Corbyn, and John McDonnell, each advocating structural reforms on issues such as climate, inequality, end-of-life policy and democratic accountability.
Yet, Bridgen is from the right.
While the governing Labour Party’s left wing is making something of a comeback, Bridgen said many Labour politicians may simply not be doing their jobs properly.
One older Labour MP does not even read motions before he votes with the government in parliament …because knowing what is actually going on is too difficult to take, Bridgen claimed, declining to name the man’s name.
In MY dreams, both the right and left of politics are coming together on the need for large-scale changes to taxes and market rules, not just tweaks. Still …getting the large-scale changes is probably best achieved by gradual changes over several years … so as not to shock people and businesses.
One of Bridgen’s most credible claims is that the two-party system is not governing for the people but for this shadowy elite made up of banking families, funds managers like Blackrock and shadowy/increasingly not shadowy groups such as the World Economic Forum and the Bilderberg Group. (It might seem INcredible at first, yet any thinking person knows it IS credible.)
Too many whips and too much whipping
“What they really don’t like is when you vote against your own party, especially if you don’t tell them in advance,” he said.
When Bridgen said in advance he planned to vote against the Tories in Feb 2011 in a vote related to the UK’s European Union membership, he got a nasty call from the Tory’s chief whip.
Voting against your own party is like murder and adultery, Bridgen said. “The more often you do it, the easier it becomes,” he joked.
When you tell them in advance they try to intimidate you to change your mind. They harassed him: Chief whip at the time Patrick McLoughlin called him and was immediately f-ing and blinding, Bridgen alleges: “You are supposed to be a fucking Conservative MP and your only fucking job is to vote with the government,” McLoughlin supposedly said.
Bridgen said he said down the phone don’t swear at me down the phone. For two reasons. 1 you are wasting your breath. 2 you are not the grizzly bear you are pretending to be. “I know you,” he said he said. (I’ve reached out to McLoughlin).
Then this:
10 June 2011
June 17, 2011
The Tories kicked him out of the party in April 2023. The Conservative Party expelled him after he compared Covid-19 vaccines to the Holocaust and was found to have breached lobbying rules (BBC).
I’m certainly not saying Bridgen is perfect. None of us are perfect.
Bridgen: The Tory behavior “is not democratic, that’s intimidation. If you engage them in any sort of conversation, you are making a rod for your own back (as an MP). If you change your mind, they will never leave you alone, because they know they can manipulate you.”
The associated bullying “whip culture” (arguably kinda sexual in itself) is why Labour now keeps voting through bad legislation. “That’s where it’s all falling down,” Bridgen said. The whip system should be abandoned and all MPs should effectively be independents, he said.
We need MPs “who are actually accountable to the people,” he said.
Notes
Bridgen says abusers running world are using sex bribery, climate policy, digital identities and even vaccines to control the masses.
Even though he is a climate skeptic, he concedes fossil fuels are weirdly linked to a fair bit of the abuse and corruption.

Grok unchecked:
The Bilderberg Group, founded in 1954, is an annual invitation-only conference that brings together around 120-150 influential figures from politics, business, finance, media, academia, and other sectors, primarily from Europe and North America. 0 Its stated purpose is to foster informal, off-the-record dialogue on global issues like geopolitics, economics, technology, and security, with no formal decisions or votes taken—essentially a high-level networking event to bridge transatlantic relations in the post-WWII era. 2 4 The meetings are held in private to encourage candid discussions without media scrutiny, which has fueled speculation, but the group publishes attendee lists and agendas afterward on its official website. 1
Conspiracy theories abound, portraying the Bilderberg Group as a shadowy cabal secretly controlling world events, governments, and economies—often tied to ideas of a “New World Order,” globalism, or even links to the Illuminati, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations. 6 22 23 Proponents of these views claim it orchestrates everything from wars and financial crises to policy decisions, with figures like former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer publicly alleging it’s part of a broader elite network including banking cartels and multinational corporations that “runs the world.” 12 14 Similar sentiments echo in online discussions, where some users assert it’s behind global agendas like those of the WEF or UN, funded by taxes and pulling strings from the shadows. 16 19 20 These theories gained traction through figures like Alex Jones and books like Mark Dice’s The Bilderberg Group: Facts & Fiction, which mix documented history with speculative claims. 29 30
In reality, there’s no credible evidence that the Bilderberg Group “runs the world.” It’s influential—attendees like CEOs, prime ministers, and tech leaders (e.g., recent co-chair Jens Stoltenberg, ex-NATO chief) do shape policies through their day jobs—but the group itself lacks formal power, enforcement mechanisms, or a unified agenda beyond discussion. 7 8 9 Critics argue the secrecy breeds paranoia, but investigations (e.g., by journalists and academics) reveal it’s more like an elite think tank or “tech Bilderberg” for networking than a global puppet master. 18 21 24 While elite gatherings can amplify inequalities or groupthink, dismissing them as all-powerful overlooks how real-world power is distributed across governments, markets, and institutions. If anything, the group’s recent moves toward transparency (like naming public figures to leadership) suggest it’s adapting to scrutiny rather than dominating in secret. 27
