Andrew Bridgen MP was suspended from the Conservative Party over a tweet, after getting vocal about the need to investigate the safety of COVID vaccines. You can find the backstory here.
His statement:
A poignant response by Prof. Norman Fenton:
An accurate take by Igor Chudov:
Yes, the suspension of Andrew Bridgen is an act of intimidation.
Yes, it is meant to demonstrate to other politicians that resistance is futile, and that it’s safer to toe the line.
Yes, the tyrants’ hope is for people’s petty cowardice to triumph over people’s conscience, so that the history can continue in the “business as usual” mode, with tyrants winning.
But the tyrants are just revealing that they are scared.
May the ones with wicked intentions eat each other promptly, and may true courage and love scatter any clouds of fear over our heads. May love and courage prevail, with our help and participation.
Where there is love, there is no fear. It has always been this way. It is this way now.

The people who went over the top against Andrew Bridgen were notably the political ringleaders of the Covid coup - and not remotely interested in anti-semitism. I believe they have over-reached themselves.
One of the most active "anti-vaxxers" is holocaust survivor Vera Sharav. She has repeatedly compared the covid era to the holocaust, in much more direct ways than Bridgen even suggested. Let's realize what's happening here. The "new" anti-semitism is once again used as a canard and justification to silence "threats" to the dominating fascist neoliberal order, in all its manifestations. In this case the pharma biofascist element of it. Bridgen's countryman on "the other side," Jeremy Corbyn, was a victim of the same dynamic on behalf of the war mongering imperialist side of it.
