Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comIn tonight’s Shelley Tasker Show on Food for Thought Radio, Myself and Co-host Mallificus ScottI sit down with Dr David Cartland, a former UK GP who rose to wider attention during the COVID period for challenging vaccine policy and elements of the public health response. He shares, in detail, his personal journey from early pandemic frontline experiences to speaking out, the backlash that followed, GMC proceedings, erasure from the medical register, and the profound professional and personal consequences. We also discuss his subsequent listing by the Disclosure and Barring Service, the knock-on effects on everyday life including grassroots football, and the broader questions this raises about free speech, safeguarding, and consistency in regulation. Listeners heard a candid, emotional account of resilience, the toll of public controversy, and Dr Cartland’s appeal for support as he pursues legal avenues and continues advocacy. In the final segment, we lighten the tone with reflections on heritage, heirlooms, and how personal history shapes new creative directions, before closing with calls for compassion and community support for those navigating the aftermath of the past few years.Resources mentioned and where to find Dr David Cartland: Search “David Cartland” on YouTube for his whistleblowing series; on X/Twitter at @CartlandDavid; Instagram via his name.
