Ironically no surprise ‘England’ seemed to go backwards in terms of its government during the 500 years between Harold’s defeat and Cromwell’s parliamentary rabble.
I will defer to your knowledge of that period.
I only have written records to rely on.

Vaccine injury scheme ramps up staff as claims over Covid jabs keep growing
Admin workers scaled up from four to 80 as claimants say the process takes too long and does not pay out enoughBy

ZionIncreasing demand for Covid vaccine injury payments has seen the number of staff processing claims increase 20-fold, figures show.
The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) has scaled up operations and boosted its administrative staff from four to 80 to handle the claims.
A project is also under way to digitalise the application process to make it simpler and quicker for claimants.
But MPs, campaigners and families have called for the process to be reformed, arguing that the payment cap of £120,000 is too low, too slow and bureaucratic, and the eligibility criteria is too strict.
If a person is left severely disabled as a result of receiving certain vaccines they could be entitled to the one-off payment from the Government.
Families can also apply for the payment if a loved one died as a result of a vaccination.
It is not treated as compensation, meaning claimants can still seek damages in court.
“Inadequate funds to families’
A group of patients and families are now taking legal action against AstraZeneca after they suffered injury or bereavement as a result of complications from the Covid vaccine.The Hausfeld Claimant group, which includes 13 bereaved families and 28 survivors, says the VDPS offers “inadequate funds to families”.
Sarah Moore, leading the litigation, said: “No amount of compensation will bring back loved ones or restore those injured to health but it can make life a little bit easier for the mothers, fathers, children, parents and partners who are now reshaping their lives.”
Figures released under a Freedom of Information (FOI) request in March show more than 4,000 claims related to a Covid-19 vaccine have been submitted since Nov 1 2021.
The payment scheme was taken over by the NHS Business Services Authority in November 2021, after previously being handled by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Of the 4,017 claims made, 334 relate to a claimant who has died.
Some 48 claims have been approved so far, Maria Caulfield, a health minister, told MPs in February.
A separate FOI document published in February revealed 3,842 claims had been received, meaning the number submitted has increased by almost 200 in one month alone. Of those, 814 claims were unsuccessful and a further 37 did not meet the eligibility criteria.
Under the VDPS, severe disablement means a patient must be at least 60 per cent disabled to qualify, based on the Social Security (General Benefit) Regulations 1982.
‘Balance of probabilities’
A patient’s medical records along with “all scientific evidence” will be considered in the application by an independent medical assessor.They will decide if the person is due a payment based on whether “on the balance of probabilities” the vaccine caused the disability, and if the level of disability is 60 per cent.
Many claimants have been diagnosed with vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, a rare condition linked to the Covid-19 jab.
The number of people who experienced life-changing adverse reactions to coronavirus vaccines is tiny compared to the millions who received the jab.
Data from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, up to Nov 23 2022, show 445 cases of major thromboembolic events (blood clots) with concurrent thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in the UK following an AstraZeneca jab. The overall case fatality rate was 18 per cent with 81 deaths.
The Government says it can take “at least six months” to process a VDPS claim, but a claim about a Covid-19 vaccine “will take longer”.
Jeremy Wright, Conservative MP for Kenilworth and Southam, raised the issue in the Commons this week and called on the Prime Minister to revamp the scheme.
He told The Telegraph: “It’s good news if they’re improving the resources to handle claims. There are a lot of claims and it’s taking a very long time to process them.”
He added there were still “structural problems” with the scheme, including the low cap and 60 per cent disablement cut off.
Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday: “We are taking steps to reform vaccine damage payments schemes by modernising the operations and providing more timely outcomes, but of course I’d be happy to talk to the honourable gentleman further about it.”
The Telegraph has spoken to families who have waited more than a year for the payment.
Sheila Ward, whose husband Stephen, 57, died after having the Covid vaccine, said the compensation scheme was “not fit for purpose”.
Her husband, who was retired, had the Oxford AZ jab in March 2021. Mr Ward had no pre-existing conditions but after a few days developed a headache and had to stay in bed.
“We just thought he had been doing too much,” said Mrs Ward, 55, who lives in Newcastle.
When she went upstairs to check on him she found him unable to speak. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for a stroke. The doctors found bleeds and clots on his brain.
Compensation took a year
Later Mrs Ward was told by doctors that her husband had suffered seizures. He died before he could receive an operation.A coroner’s certificate listed the vaccine as one of the causes of death but obtaining compensation took a year.
“The whole process was very slow and they never gave me updates unless I chased them,” said Mrs Ward, whose claim was finalised in June 2022.
“Personally, I don’t think the compensation families receive is enough. I’m in a fortunate position that my husband had a pension, so my income has been subsidised that way.
“For anyone who has been left with a lifelong disability or young children, it simply wouldn’t be enough to replace somebody’s income.”
Mrs Ward said the Government should consider raising the cap but also make the process faster. “It is not fit for purpose,” she said. “I’ve heard of cases where it takes 20 months for a decision. That is far too long”.
Vikki Spit, 40, lost her partner Zion of 21 years in May 2021 after he suffered a blood clot linked to the AZ vaccine.
It took more than a year for Ms Spit, who campaigns for Vaccine Injured Bereaved UK, to receive the VDPS.
“The [60 per cent disabled] criteria is a really big [issue], because there are so many people just left with nothing after being severely injured, and have life-changing disabilities, and they’re just told ‘well you’re not interested enough’,” she said.
Thanks.
I don`t like the idea of throwing any money towards the Barclays.
I don`t see owt surprising in the article.
Well, apart from the Gov improving a service by getting more staff in. That is shocking.

Ironically the bigger question is the motivation and narrative behind the ‘intervention’.
I was more inclined towards cover story for an emergency civil defence ‘intervention’ ( anti dote ) against a weaponised chimaera release.
With the reservation why was the government so keen to bring it in with open door travel followed by lockdowns at home.
Now I’m leaning more towards depopulation shot to meet the psychopathic aims of Gates etc and his CCP handlers.
The fact that the AZ sham seems to have been a plausible deniability placebo just adds weight to that.While also answering the question why were they so keen to bring the ( virus ) in, because that was obviously the pretext for the real agenda.
Have to say with just the two AZs I’ve never felt fitter.

My father in law went about spreading COVID because he thought he was immune after being jabbed and boosted but still caught it for the umpteenth time.
There’s no counter factual of what would have happened without the vaccine, and because there was no recording of COVID deaths without being muddled by “with COVID within 28 days”.
So we’re learning that the lockdowns caused more harm than good, the vaccines caused more harm than good. Test and trace was a waste of money, as was furlough, ppe, travel restrictions.
Should have just ignored the whole thing.

That’s assuming no sinister motives behind the whole thing and narrative.In which case it was never designed to be optional or ignorable.It there had been insufficient take up of the ‘offer’ you can bet that they would have made it ‘less’ refuseable.
Putting total trust in the CCP, WHO and the Gateses and Faucis of this world isn’t exactly a good move in that regard.

After my initial ‘taking in’ 
…,.I’ve said since I noticed there was very little correlation between what we were being media fed and what I saw with my own eyes, and that it has all been grossly exaggerated.
As for furlough,.and at the risk of offending one or two that I don’t gaf about quite honestly I quite enjoyed my paid time off at home, but as for the rest of it all, the media built up a widespread frenzy over what would have been interpreted as in past eras, usually as another type of bad flu ‘going around’.
So bearing that in mind,.I did not stick to the ridiculous ott restrictions, especially at Christmas time, and watched those who fully conformed to the letter in amazement and astonishment if I’m honest , wondering how/why they believed it all…
We as a group who saw what was going on are all still here to tell the tale.,.but still today I see people wearing masks, like they don’t want to move on with their lives and let it go. 
After getting a vaccine during the said period, that is done now, and so be it with any potential consequences, not fussed, but I sure as hell ain’t getting anymore, same with a lot of people that I know.

I’m sure you did, but I’m pretty sure inflation and interest rates would be about half what they are today if the government hadn’t spunked a trillion up the wall.

Yep I’ve told you I did,.but is that an implication to make me feel.guilty about it?
I did not ask to go on, and I had/have no qualms about it, as I have paid tax since I was 16 years old,.unlike a lot of people who actually live off the state,.native and non indigenous
Hey!..maybe they should feel guilty. 
I’ve paid thousands in VAT to the Govt department who then bankrupted me in the end in the 90s after refusing to give me some leeway which would have avoided me eventually losing my house at the time…
So my mantra, like it or not,.as I said I don!t care, is two words ,.two syllables.
‘‘■■■■ em’’.!
If that makes me an uncaring selfish bast…that is exactly what I am,.cos since that time my only priority is myself and my family.
Cheers.

No I don’t blame anyone taking it ! Any individual not taking it would have been a drop on the ocean. I just lament the government offering it [emoji21] As in there should have been no lockdown, so no need for furlough.
^^^^^^
I fully agree mate,…an absolute unnecessary result of an ott knee jerk reaction.
Stu, there’s a considerabe number of us out there who didn’t take the medical treatment, and no way were we going to.
