Andrew Bridgen, UK Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire from 2010 until 2024, gave an exposé at the Koh Samui Critical Thinkers Forum 2024, a Thai initiative, held in collaboration with Awakening in Health.

He shared his tumultuous journey as a political rebel and whistle-blower and gave his insights into the machinations of power in a corrupt political system.

Mr. Bridgen paints a sobering picture of the current political landscape, exposing the gulf between public perception and behind-the-scenes reality. He argues that the freedoms we take for granted are in jeopardy, outlining the potential consequences if more action isn’t taken.

He reveals his early attempts to expose the Post Office Horizon scandal, years before it made headlines; the unseen forces controlling politicians and silencing dissenters; personal experiences of political suppression and the cost of speaking truth to power; the looming threats to global freedoms and civil liberties and issues an urgent call to action for humanity to reclaim its autonomy.

This talk is a wake-up call, Awakening in Health said. It urges listeners to critically examine the information they receive and take an active role in safeguarding their rights. “Whether you’re a political enthusiast or simply concerned about the future of global freedom, Bridgen’s insider perspective challenges the normal understanding of modern governance.”

The following is a summary, with added context, of the video above.

The Post Office Horizon Scandal

Then Prime Minister Tony Blair introduced the Horizon Post Office system, which cost the government £800 million in the late 1990s, and despite knowing it was flawed, he publicly claimed it was “basically safe and effective.” The same Tony Blair that should be held accountable for his actions during the wars in Yugoslavia and the invasion of Iraq.

Shortly after being elected, two constituents, Michael and Susan Rodkin, approached Mr. Bridgen with allegations of government corruption and a cover-up involving the Post Office.

The Rodkins’ case, along with the experiences of over a thousand others, would later become known as the Post Office Horizon scandal, which Bridgen describes as the biggest miscarriage of justice in UK history.

Several UK media outlets declined to cover a story involving a Fujitsu whistle-blower and the innocence of several people.

“[I] went to every media Outlet including ITV, who nine years later made a documentary about it. I went to the BBC. I went to Sky. I went to Channel 4. I went to The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail and I said to those journalists. ‘you run this story with this evidence, you’ll get an award for this because these people are all provably innocent and here, here’s the evidence from a Fujitsu whistle-blower’. But none of them would,” Mr. Bridgen said.

Boohoo Labour Exploitation

In 2018, Bridgen also exposed the labour exploitation in the Boohoo fast fashion industry in the City of Leicester, which is about 15 miles away from his former constituency. The labour exploitation “had been going on for well over a decade um probably about 8,000 people working in sweatshop conditions in the UK. Some of it was modern slavery where there were illegal migrants and they were being paid somewhere between £2.50 and £3.50 an hour,” Mr. Bridgen said.

In 2019, a UK parliamentary committee recommended a raft of changes to reform what it said was an exploitative and unsustainable industry.  In July 2020, Global Citizen reported that Britain’s National Crime Agency and several partners in policing and government said they were inspecting several businesses in Leicester to assess concerns of modern slavery.

Boohoo, a prominent online fast fashion retailer, has faced numerous allegations of labour exploitation in its supply chain. Reports have surfaced of workers being paid below minimum wage, forced to work long hours, and subjected to poor working conditions.

In 2020, reports emerged of garment workers in Leicester factories that supply Boohoo being paid as little as £3.50 per hour, significantly below the UK’s minimum wage. This exploitation has continued, with a 2020 undercover investigation by The Sunday Times finding workers at a Jaswal Fashions factory, which supplies Boohoo, earning as little as £3.50 per hour.

Workers have described demanding conditions, including being forced to work while sick with covid and working long hours, including 18-hour shifts, seven days a week. In 2020, Boohoo workers branded themselves “slaves” due to their working conditions.

When Mr. Bridgen started his campaign to expose the modern day slavery in Leicester’s garment industry, Boohoo’s share price was about $4.50.  It has dropped to a tenth of that value following the revelations. 

Political Corruption and the European Union

Mr Bridgen is an arch euro sceptic and always has been.  The then UK Prime Minister David Cameron offered him the position of Immigration Minister on the condition he campaigned to remain in the European Union leading up to the 2016 Brexit referendum.

When Cameron sent one of his acolytes to offer him the ministerial position, Mr Bridgen responded, “Well tell the Prime Minister that I’m flattered that he’d want me to be Immigration Minister if we stayed in the European Union and I [would have] no control over immigration.”

Mr Bridgen went on to be one of the people who persuaded Boris Johnson to back the “leave” campaign.  “The day before the referendum [ ] I told Boris Johnson that we were definitely going to win the next day at the polls. … Boris Johnson’s reaction to that news [showed] that [it] wasn’t what he wanted to hear,” Mr. Bridgen said.  “The whole of the establishment were pretty much committed to keeping us in the European Union.”

In 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union and the other thing the establishment didn’t want to happen, also happened that year: Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.

“I think had those two things not happened in 2016 many of the tyrannies that we’ve seen inflicted around the world since would have happened considerably earlier,” Mr. Bridgen said.

Concerns Regarding Covid-19 Vaccines

Mr. Bridgen, having a background in biological sciences, was troubled by the silencing of scientists who expressed concerns about the safety and efficacy of the new vaccines.

 “I knew that there would be a huge establishment backlash the moment I spoke out against the vaccination of small children. I tried to recruit colleagues to help me. I went to my old Brexiteer friends and the response was shocking,” he said.

Adding, “Some of them said that they’d suffered side effects themselves and they believe there was something wrong with the vaccines.  Some of them told me that they’d had relatives who were severely injured. But to a man and a woman, they said they weren’t going to speak out about it.”

In January 2022, Mr. Bridgen was offered a bribe in exchange for his silence.  “I was offered anything I wanted. All I had to do was tell them what I wanted and they’d sort it for me,” he said. So he requested the Prime Minister’s resignation letter. “They told me I couldn’t have that so I said I didn’t want anything else.  And we were on a pretty much a collision course um from that day onwards.”

He spoke about the backlash surrounding his comment about covid vaccines being the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust; and, vulnerable elderly in care homes being killed with midazolam and morphine but noted as covid deaths to create the hysteria of a pandemic that caused so many to line up for the vaccines.

Mr. Bridgen believes that 35,000 vulnerable, elderly people in hospitals were euthanised with midazolam and morphine and then recorded as covid deaths.

Mr. Bridgen sees no hope in corporate media exposing the lies.  “I think with regard to excess deaths, the covid-19 so-called vaccines and the vaccine harms, the WHO treaty, what’s really going on in Ukraine and Gaza at the moment; we’re seeing a very very selective media coverage to the point, where certainly in the UK – I threw my TVs out, you’ll see there’s an empty bracket on the wall behind me, I threw my TVs out last October and I haven’t missed them – they are nothing more than state-funded propaganda,” he said.

Globalist Agenda and Political Integrity

As Mr. Bridgen said, people in positions of power have betrayed humanity for personal gain, and it will be impossible to reverse this betrayal.  The globalists have a plan for humanity that is “dark,” but people are starting to wake up to this plan.

“It doesn’t matter how many times the people vote and make their views heard. It doesn’t matter which party is in government … [because] our politicians at the top are not serving the people. They’re enthralled to their masters, and that is the World Economic Forum, agenda 2030 and everything that’s involved in that, which is the breaking down of all, it’s the end of sovereign nations, mass migration. That’s where it’s all going. And everything else around our politics is a pantomime to amuse the people,” he said.

However,  politicians are only temporary holders of power and true power resides with the people.

UK Involvement in Ukraine and Government Spending

The UK is deliberately provoking and attacking Russia, a nuclear power that has 5,800 nuclear warheads. There’s no doubt, Mr, Bridgen said, that UK personnel are operating in Ukraine and launching UK-manufactured Storm Shadow missiles into Russia. “They may not be uniformed as in the British Army – but I suspect that only a few months ago they were – they will be contractors.”

“So, we’ve got UK Personnel firing UK-made missiles out of Ukraine into Russia … and every other nation in NATO is doing exactly the same,” he added.

The UK is shipping huge amounts of money out to Ukraine in so-called war support or, as it was called in the honest days, money laundering, Mr. Bridgen said. “That’s what we’re doing, we’re money laundering huge amounts of money.”

According to a Research Briefing for the UK Parliament published on 18 September, to date, the UK has pledged £12.7 billion in support to Ukraine since February 2022, of which £7.6 billion is for military assistance. This includes £3 billion for military assistance in 2024/25.

Additionally, the new Labour government has just announced that the UK is sending £11.6 billion of our taxpayers’ money to countries like Malaysia to help with their climate mitigation and “net zero” programme, he said. 

The UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (“BEIS”) committed £11.6 billion to International Climate Finance by 2026. This commitment is part of the UK’s flagship programme, UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions), which aims to tackle climate change globally.

In 2023, the Conservative government announced it planned to scrap the £11.6 billion climate pledge but at the end of July, the Energy (insecurity) Secretary Ed Miliband said that Labour would honour the £11.6 billion pledge in overseas aid for the climate crisis.

Miliband’s promises of a spending spree come at a time when the Labour government claims there is not enough money available to support elderly UK citizens with their energy costs.

“We’re sending billions and billions and billions all the time to Ukraine but we can’t now afford to give our old age pensioners help with their fuel bills in the winter,” Mr. Bridgen pointed out.

Food Shortages, Airport Closures, Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and Central Banking

Mr Bridgen also spoke of his concerns regarding food shortages worldwide due to factors such as agricultural policies, population growth and potential conflicts and airport closures and low traffic neighbourhoods

By 2029, all airports in the UK will be closed except for Heathrow, Glasgow, and Belfast, with transfers by rail.   By 2030-2049, all remaining UK airports will be closed. And he cites an example of Exeter, Devon, where a low traffic neighbourhood was implemented with limited consultation, causing difficulties for residents and emergency services, but was eventually removed due to public pressure.

Other concerns he voiced were that advancements in robotics and AI, exceeding what is publicly known, are driving a depopulation agenda, as a significant portion of the population will become unnecessary for labour, and the central banking system and digital currency.

Mr. Bridgen believes that the central banking system gives private companies the power to create money from nothing and charge interest, likening it to having the ability to bribe someone with endless amounts of air.

He believes that the central banking system is a Ponzi scheme that will soon collapse, leading to the implementation of a digital banking currency and a Chinese-style social credit system.

Election Interference

A member of the audience asked Mr. Bridgen about the recent general elections.

Mr. Bridgen says that in the most recent election in Northwest Leicestershire, he received only 3% of the vote, a significant decrease from the 63% he received in the previous election in 2019.

Mr. Bridgen was standing as an independent candidate after the Conservative Party kicked him out but this shouldn’t have made a difference to voters considering the stand he made for leaving the European Union, a stance most of his constituents were in favour of.

“A lot of strange things have happened … The whole of the elections department which handles the general election in Northwest Leicestershire at the council, I heard only after it had happened that, they all resigned on the same day and were all replaced by a whole new team on the same day,” he said.

When asked the Chief Executive what happened, he was told, “It was time for them to move on,”  whatever that meant.

Then Mr. Bridgen described the unusual events that took place during the vote-counting process for Northwest Leicestershire, including a nervous returning officer, a four-hour delay in receiving ballot boxes and heightened security measures.

Mr. Bridgen attempted to get hold of the Ipsos Exit Poll for Northwest Leicestershire to see how people had voted. “I find out that, although Northwest Leicestershire was supposed to be in the exit poll, two weeks before the election it was cancelled when the head, the top people at Ipsos MORI said they didn’t want to poll Northwest Leicestershire. Why didn’t they want to poll Northwest Leicestershire?”

The final strange thing Mr. Bridgen mentioned was corporate media’s non-reporting of his defeat. “I’m so hated by the political establishment and the mainstream media, they really do detest me, that if it were true and I only got 3% of the poll and I was humiliated [and] abandoned by my electorate, it would have been all over the national press that the conspiracy theorist MP who thinks that vaccines are not safe and effective has been rejected by his electorate.”

But, “there is not one word of it in the national press. They don’t want to talk about it.  They don’t want to rake it up because something went seriously wrong in Northwest Leicestershire and everybody knows it,” he said.
