UK Used BBC & ITV Soaps for Covert Vaccine Propaganda
New Freedom of Information (FOI) documents confirm what many long suspected: The UK government secretly used popular soap operas like EastEnders and Coronation Street to push vaccine propaganda during the pandemic, raising urgent questions about how much influence the state holds over British media, and how far officials are willing to go to manipulate public thought, opinion and behavior under the guise of public health. The findings echo May 2021 revelations that scientists on the UK government's behavioral advisory committee admitted they used fear-based 'totalitarian' tactics to control public behavior during COVID-19, describing the approach as 'unethical,' 'dystopian,' and a form of 'mind control.'They also mirror an October 2024 U.S. House investigation that found the CDC and Biden administration used a $900 million COVID campaign to 'manipulate Americans' with 'deeply flawed' messaging, 'overpromising' vaccines 'without evidence,' and funding Big Tech companies to 'track and monitor Americans.' What other views and choices are being shaped today by government-scripted entertainment? 'Ministers met television bosses during the pandemic to persuade them to push pro-vaccine storylines in soaps such as EastEnders and Coronation Street , it has emerged,' The Telegraph reported last week. The effort was led by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), which held secret meetings with ITV, BBC, Channel 4 and others to coordinate 'national unity programming.' FOI documents show broadcasters were asked: 'if there were plans to introduce health messages into soap stories.' BBC committed to 'report back re other shows' while ITV responded that 'filming had now ceased,' but that 'ITV have included voiceovers to episodes now to clarify govt messaging re social distancing.' Redacted records show that as early as Feb. 2, 2020—more than a month before lockdown—officials met ITV chief Dame Carolyn McCall to 'test the possibility' of inserting pro-vaccine messaging. The government briefing stated: 'Since that meeting ITV have noticeably increased their engagement across DCMS and Whitehall; and recently officials at the Department of Health have been in touch with DCMS about potential assistance from ITV in relation to pro vaccine messaging. This meeting may offer an opportunity to test the possibility of this with them.' Documents confirm the Department of Health wanted to write directly to ITV to 'include vaccine storylines in their soaps.' But DCMS advised against it: 'Whilst we do not think it would be appropriate to write to ITV on this matter given the importance of broadcasters' operational and editorial independence, you may wish to explore with them whether they already have plans to develop content related to this area.' Officials also noted ITV was 'planning soap storylines related to the environment and climate change and therefore they may be amenable to the idea of something similar in relation to vaccine messaging.' In March and April 2020, then-Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden and then-Media Minister John Whittingdale met with BBC Director-General Tony Hall, ITV's Dame Carolyn McCall, and Channel 4 CEO Alex Mahon. Channel 4 agreed it would 'reinforce Public Health England guidance' and target younger viewers through YouTube. Mahon told officials: 'AM said they will consider how to spread message through YouTube excerpts of news programmes (C4's YouTube channel has attracted 100 million views) and through social media. Also C4 is considering filming broadcast messages from hosts and talent to reinforce messaging.' 'Pro-vaccine messaging did end up in soaps.' In a 2021 episode of EastEnders: 'Patrick Trueman told Suki Panesar he felt like he had 'won the lottery' after getting his second vaccination.' During the same scene: 'Karen Taylor was accused of being an 'anti-vaxxer' for worrying that they had developed the vaccine too quickly.' Sir David Davis MP condemned the effort: 'What this demonstrates is that during Covid, the government reduced the broadcasters to mere arms of the state.' 'Of course, it was important to tell the public about the efficacy and safety of vaccines, but the state should never resort to underhanded propaganda of this nature.' Lord Frost added: 'If, as it seems, the government quietly worked behind the scenes with major broadcasters to shape opinions and compliance on their draconian Covid-19 measures, this is extremely worrying.' 'Actions like this blur the boundary between government, civil society, and private life. They risk undermining confidence in government messaging in the future, and border on the unethical in a free society.' 'More than 17,500 Britons have applied to the Government's vaccine damage payment scheme (VDPS) believing they or loved ones were injured by the jab.' 'Most of the successful vaccine harm claims relate to the AstraZeneca jab, which was found to cause vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, a dangerous type of blood clotting which can be fatal.' Author Laura Dodsworth said: 'The government was in close contact with broadcasters to ensure the 'right' messages made it into entertainment – that's not public health, it's propaganda.' 'Take EastEnders. Patrick and Suki dutifully pushed the jab, while 'Karen' (white, and literally named Karen) voiced concerns and was ridiculed. It was heavy-handed, awkward and divisive. Propaganda often works by polarisation: creating in-groups and out-groups to shut down debate. There's a word for this: manipulation.' Dr. Colin Alexander of Nottingham Trent University stated: 'What the FoI request information thus confirms is that broadcasters relinquished their primary democratic role of holding the powerful to account and instead became collusive with the official narrative.' 'This at a time when scrutiny and investigation ought to have been at its highest.' Molly Kingsley of UsForThem added: 'This kind of brazen state interference with British media crosses multiple red lines.' 'It indicates that the state-led pandemic censorship operation extended beyond 'merely' social media, and it raises serious questions about the integrity of messages broadcast to the public during the pandemic.' ITV said: 'All of this was entirely editorially independent of the Government and any other body or interest group.' A BBC spokesman said: 'The BBC is independent and makes its own editorial decisions. This does not mean that we cannot meet representatives from the government or from political parties, and, like other broadcasters, we do so.' Dodsworth concluded: 'There's a growing trend of public policy delivered through storylines – we're being entertained into compliance. What better to wash your brain with than with a soap?' And if the government quietly weaponized entertainment to coerce pandemic compliance, how else is this machinery being used? If vaccine propaganda was planted in prime time without public knowledge, what other narratives are now shaping public thought, behavior, and consent?

Art for paws
Bahrain-based artists and zoophilists with a soft-spot for strays are creating vibrant murals, eye-catching paper art, Dilmun-themed graphics and more, all to offer the kingdom's furry friends a better life. British creative Kylee-Jai Wright, who arrived in Bahrain with her family and chihuahuas, 16 years ago, has brought alive a colourful mural, beautifying one of the boundary walls of the Bahrain Animal Rescue Centre's (BARC) shelter in Hamala last month. 'My friend, who fosters many dogs for BARC and had painted a mural for them, suggested my name. I designed the mural on my iPad and sent it over and they really loved it,' the 42-year-old told GulfWeekly. Sadly, the abstract artist's 10-year-old son Elliot Walsh died tragically in his sleep last year. The stated cause was Sudden Unexplained Death in Children – a medical term for a death that remains unexplained even after a thorough investigation, including an autopsy. A grieving Kylee-Jai could not get herself to go anywhere or do anything but as time passed, she began expressing herself through art and poetry. 'It was peaceful for me to go and paint there and I enjoyed the process,' said the animal lover, who has rescued two cats that were rejected by their mums. Indian expatriate and marketing professional Joylyn Fernandes' childhood passion for paper art grew into something bigger last year, when she decided to donate some of her work for an exhibition raising funds for Palestine. 'Since then, I have continued to raise funds for causes I am passionate about. 'I hand-cut my 'paper illustrations' after I create a rough digital rendition,' the 40-year-old self-taught arist from Janabiya, who has called Bahrain home for the last decade, explained. Joylyn co-founded registered local feline rescue charity Rescat in 2019. Since then, the volunteers have rescued and rehomed around 500 cats, with another 500 having undergone TNR; 'trap- neuter-return' is a method of controlling stray cat population. 'I have just started making art for this cause, but I plan to continue and invite more commissions. I am working on more pieces to sell and raise funds for TNR.' Bahraini branding and design creative Jenine Sharabi was sensitised to animals from a very young age. 'My mother, raised on a farm in the US, taught us to cherish animals, and my father's kindness reinforced that. When my family moved to Bahrain in 1989, my parents adopted Dusty, a remarkable black-and-white Bahraini Dilmun cat. Today, I share my home with four of them, alongside my toddler, who already adores them,' the 39-year-old from Budaiya said. The graduate from Central Saint Martins art and design college in London organises paint-and-sip events, proceeds of which are donated to Rescat. Her latest creation for the charity is a tote bag featuring a Dilmun cat. 'The Dilmun cat is a local treasure. All proceeds of these bags go toward Rescat's rescuing, rehoming, and TNR efforts,' the artist, who also created Rescat's brand identity, added.

British Explorer Becomes First to Walk Across Saudi Arabia
After seven blistered weeks, more than 930km of desert terrain, and the company of two camels named Lulu and Juicy, British adventurer Alice Morrison has completed the first stage of what may be the most ambitious trek of her life: Walking the full length of Saudi Arabia from north to south. With the Hajj season now complete and pilgrims dispersing from the holy cities, Morrison's parallel journey, quieter, slower and laced with both pain and revelation, has inspired audiences in Saudi Arabia and beyond. The expedition, which began in March near Jordan's border, has taken her through ancient Nabataean ruins, remote mountain passes, and the shifting sand seas of the Arabian interior. Along the way, she has uncovered Bronze Age relics, walked with Saudi Arabia's first female wildlife rangers, and documented the fast-changing social and environmental landscape of the Kingdom. 'This is one of the hardest but most rewarding journeys I've ever done,' Morrison said from AlUla, where she ended her first leg. 'We're walking a half-marathon each day, while also filming, interviewing, and wrangling camels. It's exhausting, but I feel so alive.' Known for her work on BBC's Arabian Adventures and her previous expeditions across Africa and the Middle East, Morrison is no stranger to endurance. But this walk, which will resume in October for its final 1,300-kilometre stretch to the southern border, is different. It's a kind of pilgrimage, she says, not only across a country but through history, culture, and change. Alongside her were her animal companions and a small crew, including Saudi guides and camel handlers. They slept under the stars, bathed in wadis, and lived, she said, 'at the speed of the land.' Morrison, who speaks fluent Arabic and studied Middle Eastern languages at the University of Edinburgh, sees her journey as a way to challenge global perceptions of Saudi Arabia, particularly around gender and tradition. 'I've walked with women leading conservation projects, managing camels, doing archaeological work,' she said. 'They're changing things from within and they're proud of it.' Among her most moving encounters was with female wildlife rangers in Wadi Al Disah, who spoke candidly about breaking barriers in male-dominated fields. 'At first, they said it felt strange. Now it feels normal. That's progress,' she said. The team's discoveries have included 4,000-year-old rock carvings, pieces of the old Hejaz railway, abandoned in the desert like history's breadcrumbs. In one memorable moment, an archaeologist found what appeared to be a shift schedule carved in stone 'an ancient timesheet,' Morrison said. But the expedition has not been without hardship. On the first day, she developed severe blisters. 'I was in agony for three weeks,' she admitted. 'But you learn to manage the pain. You keep walking.' Her previous journeys include cycling from Cairo to Cape Town, walking the length of Jordan, and trekking with Amazigh nomads across Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Each journey, she says, is a lesson in humility and endurance. She's also raised attention and money for environmental and educational initiatives along the way, and has used her growing digital audience to tell daily stories from the road. 'Walking through a place gives you access to it,' she said. 'You're not just seeing it you're part of it.' Stage Two of the walk begins in October from Medina. She expects it to take another two months. As for what drives her? 'I only have one life,' she said. 'And I want to live it fully. These journeys make me grow. They show me, and hopefully others, what's possible when you just begin.' Also read: Saudi Pavilion At Expo 2025 Osaka Celebrates 70th Anniversary Of Diplomatic Relations With Japan
