There’s a horrifying story in the Sunday Times that lays bare the terrible psychological damage wrought by the mind-benders of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B), who, as we know, deliberately set out to ramp up “the perceived level of personal threat” using covert psychological techniques. The story is about the “Covid worriers” – those poor folks who’ve been terrified out of their wits by the endless fear-mongering propaganda pumped out by the Government and the mainstream media, particularly the BBC. Among the revelations are:
- A study by Ipsos Mori involving 4,896 adults found that 34% of Britons believe lockdown restrictions are still necessary
- A study of almost 200,000 users of Kooth, an online mental health forum, found last week that 41% of users “feel nervous every day”
- A study by the polling firm Opinium found that one in ten Britons want lockdown restrictions to remain indefinitely
The Sunday Times has some heart-rending case studies:
Long before the emergence in India of a dangerous new Covid variant, Hayley Martin was worried about the easing of lockdown restrictions in Britain and the prospect of “going out and interacting with people again”.
The government’s warnings last week of the new threat to the nation’s health have redoubled her fears of leaving her home in Congleton, Cheshire. “We’ve tried to go out, but it’s been really anxiety-provoking and stressful,” she said. “My imagination runs wild.”…
For James Bailey, a 36-year-old care worker who lives with his 69-year-old mother on the Isle of Man, lockdown was compounded by the island’s isolation from the mainland. Bailey used to travel periodically to London, but his worries about going somewhere and bringing back a dangerous variant were now “sky-high”, he said.
The Isle of Man’s last confirmed Covid case was on May 2 and “people don’t want Covid back on the island”, Bailey said. “The thought of going away makes me anxious. I haven’t left the island for over a year.”
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: BBC News has published a piece in which it has asked various scientific “experts” how they’re intending to behave after some restrictions are relaxed on Monday. Sounds like nearly all of them belong to the 10% of the population who want lockdown to last forever.
Stop Press 2: Laura Dodsworth, who’s book A State of Fear: how the UK government weaponised fear during the COVID-19 pandemic is published on Monday, wrote a piece for the Mail on Sunday about why it is so many people are gripped by an irrational fear of the virus.

1 in 10 want lockdown to continue forever?
Simple: Lock yourself away like your fellow hypochondriac Howard Hughes. Let everyone else get on with their one and only life.
Beat me to it!
The whole point of and for fanatics is to impose their own views and preferred lifestyles onto all others.
HH was harmless compared to them.
Nah, euthanasia is the only way out for them.
Compulsory of course.
It all ties in with a decade or more of wall-to-wall Mental Health awareness, concerns, policies and case studies. Clegg was one of the first to see the potential, and included it in the LibDem manifesto – but most others soon followed suit. And once those mind benders get to you, you are stuffed.
By now a sizeable chunk of the sheeple have dutifully learned to be ‘mental health aware’, and in doing so slowly turned the nation into a big plate of wool clad wobbling jellies waiting to be trodden on by a suitable joint Corpo-State intervention.
Enter the Covid-Vaxx scam stage left, and stage right….
I think we need to recognise that this 10% of people have been pushed into some kind of mental illness. Maybe they’ve always been anxious and this has just pushed them over the edge. But when have we allowed the mentally ill to dictate how the rest of us live. These people need help!
Indeed. The reference to Congleton was poignant as we walked to Congleton on Saturday to spend the afternoon at the local brewery. Shame she didn’t pop down there – we had a great time. Congleton has been Covid free for about two months now.
Yes if only we could ship them all off somewhere – maybe NZ – where they could cower, get jabbed and shudder over variants for all eternity and leave us normies in peace.
I can’t be said enough; the deliberate and intense psychological terror dished out by the government and it’s scientific agencies is criminal. I await the next update from Michael O’Bernicia with my fingers tightly crossed for positive news.
Relying on the system, to save us from the system, may be a rather forlorn hope, but full marks to Michael for trying so hard.
Aided and abetted by MSM of which the BBC I think is the worst offender. These poor saps cited as case studies in the article are terrified and want restrictions to continue because MSM repeatedly amplified the propaganda. They are just as complicit as govt and have a lot to answer for.
Wackos, nerds and communists/MMTlers love lockdowns and want to impose them on all others for good.
Quelle surprise.
As I am saying since a long time, any cult can and will only end in and with the catastrophe.
In its case when the money has run out and/or the gene therapied start to drop like flies.
Take a look at these pollster companies. Tells you all you need to know about in who’s interests they work for. Ipis Moris also conducted a poll recently that said 84% of Brits WANT Vaccine Passports. Mmm, hmm….
I think the figure is quite credible within the normal error range of surveys. The brainwashing won’t go away just by shouting at pollsters.
“New and dangerous variant”? This is baseless speculation and even “the scientists” say they don’t have any evidence. Almost all the people alleged to have caught it are under 40, and most are teenagers.
Deaths and admissions continue to fall.
Deaths can’t realistically fall any lower, can they? They’re in single figures, and possibly due to errors in diagnosis.
They don’t count corpses.
The don’t count covvies in hospital.
They count wet nappies.
False positives will mean there will be covid deaths for as long as we continue testing, even years after covid has completely disappeared. After everything most people still see cases as covid illness and deaths as from covid.
This seems to provoke the usual rants which largely miss the point, which is not that people are stupid or just venal (which may be true of a proportion in broad terms) – but that this is an engineered mass psychosis.
UK Column has an interesting article by a psychologist that exposes the corruption of his profession in reversing the ethical principles of treatment to actually produce mental illness. The Goebbels-Mengele principle.
The embedding of this complex of mental illness is the major challenge to be faced, with the lunatics now in charge of an asylum where there is a vast need for de-programming.
People who are locked in their homes with only the tv news and social media to influence their opinions are so much easier to influence. No wonder they remain in a constant fluff of terror.
that is a very good description of one of my oldest friends , she is a brainwashed sheep who sits in front of her tv for hours on end everyday watching the ‘ news ‘
and of course got the ‘ vaccine ‘
I have the cure for your friend, a permanent power cut or a nuclear explosion. The latter would be unthinkable though.
it might work but there are too many sheep among her other friends and family [ all of them are sheep, i’v e asked , she knows no one else who thinks like i do not a single person ],
i’m afraid they would just continue to band together in their
sheep area even without tv
Can you imagine these people during the Blitz? We would never have won the war with such cowardly attitudes.
i just saw this after i wrote my comment and that is what i w as thinking of .the blitz.
no cowering fear there !
thinking some more you are right it was and is the tv ‘news’
in 1968 hong kong flu no mention on news so no sheep .
Ditto. But she has also ended the friendship, with a shocking amount of hysterical abuse. Very sad, but it’s her loss.
i am very sorry to hear that yes is her loss.
that hasnt happened to me yet but another sheep friend we barely speak , is not the same friendship as before .
i t ‘s their cowering fear that bothers me the most , i think .
1 in 10 have shares in big tech or some online business?
I think you need an Occam shave.
That still leaves 9 out of 10 “hopefully” normal people.
The word decimate suddenly takes on it’s true meaning.
lots of online businesses are booming because of the pandemic… of course they want more lockdown… they are sitting on their backside while they get rich
… and a lot of small businesses are going bust. It’s the few who are getting rich – not relevant to this poll.
And the ones in the public sector on furlough.
yes the few… 10%
And a lot of these companies are not putting money into the UK economy but are taking it out/suspect tax payments. Double whammy but heck, bring it on!!
“A study of almost 200,000 users of Kooth, an online mental health forum, found last week that 41% of users “feel nervous every day””
That’s not a study. That’s a self-selecting sample with enormous sampling bias.
You’d guess users of an online mental health forum are more likely than average to feel nervous every day…
So? It doesn’t explain the very real rise in mental illness – particularly OCD and hypochondria.
If there aren’t more people now with mental problems than there were one year ago, then the government would have spent an awful lot of money for no return. We are now told that twenty million people have taken up the offer of two injections, with a liability free and likely intentionally harmful experimental gene therapy product, for something less lethal than flu. Clearly mental problems are not in short supply and the government can be well pleased that its policies are working.
Government instilled hypochondria.
Unfortunately for James Bailey and IoM residents languishing on long waiting lists for all kinds of treatment (bad before the panic, worse now), the IoM govt have chosen to waste even more taxpayer cash on ‘Covid variant testing’ rather than getting lists down.
Thus contradicting their new stance of learning to live with the virus; I can’t see endless testing achieving that or helping the nervous and their mental health.
I don’t see how places like the IOM or NZ can ever learn to live with the virus. They would have to go from no Covid to some Covid which I just don’t think they could cope with without panicking each time a case was reported.
What a bunch of gutless wimps. The old British bulldog spirit has been well and truly stomped into oblivion, hasn’t it. God forbid they should ever have to face something really threatening, rather than what their febrile imaginations conjure up.
You really do miss the point. This has been deliberately done to people by bent psychology. It’s as real as a smack on the head giving you a headache, and be thankful that you didn’t get one, rather than getting smug.
In different circumstances and with different intent, leadership and programming , that ‘bulldog spirit’ could have been eliminated very easily in 1940.
Well I would put the counter argument to your point – it was done to me as well, except I smelled a rat, turned off my TV, began to research and do my own reading from trusted well informed sources, found my away here and the rest is history- I now have a healthy disregard for covid, see it for what it is, and a have passionate desire to get back to normal life asap.
I agree Milo, I think in the people who have been so easily ‘brainwashed’ there has already been either a large streak of cowardice or selfishness, or at the best a desire to conform and trust authority, which has meant they accepted it all too readily. I’d feel some sympathy for those in the third group but not the others.
“Smug” takes one to know one!
God forbid they should ever have to face something really threatening, rather than what their febrile imaginations conjure up.
But they are now facing something really threatening and something which is probably more dangerous to most people than has been any other event in British history. We are now in the early stages of a mass cull of the UK population and one that is meant to get rid of nearly all of us. The cull is being helped along by millions of frightened and stupid people, who are literally volunteering to be euthanised and are blithely baring their arms for the lethal injections. No doubt though, when the supply of crazy volunteers dries up, they will be coming for the recalcitrants, those who have a half a clue about what’s really going.
If the Sunday times wants to support its idea that there is a “new and dangerous variant” they won’t be looking to interview anyone on the anti lockdown protest yesterday or back in April. And if they did decide to print the views of anyone who isn’t fearful they would label them as covid denying anti vax conspiracy theorists. I don’t see the Sunday times as being interested in running a story about people who have no fears, have never followed any of the restrictions and just want to live their lives – that wouldn’t make such good copy!
Ten percent of pretty much ANY population are blithering idiots.
That’s true for university dons, senior business executives, military officers, and members of Surrey golf clubs. Tell me if I’m wrong, but out of any group of a dozen or so randomly selected people, there isn’t going to be at least ONE with ideas either so preposterous or repellant as to make your eyes water?
We shouldn’t be surprised. Forget about it.
My heart is not rended by stories of gullible half-witted poltroons wetting the bed.
Let their lockdown continue for ever, by all means, and let them rot, and bloody good riddance.
Stay. Under. The. Bed.
And. Leave. The. Rest. Of. Us. Alone.
1 in 10, most of whom seem to work for sage or are part of the government.
Sorry- no sympathy for them. That so many people are so feeble minded and sit and wait for the latest grim announcement is a bit of a worry, but if a person of anything approaching average intelligence can’t see how ludicrous these figures are then frankly they should probably stay indoors out of everyone else’s way, (where they’re more likely to catch ‘it’). They deserve what’s coming to them.
“One in Ten Britons Develop Serious Life Changing Mental Illness After More Than a Year of Government Mandated Terror Campaign”
Fixed it for you.
This is an interesting piece by a former Lead Psychologist at Cambridge Analytica.

The trouble is even before this tripe started, a lot of people had no ability to balance risks properly. For example I have a friend who is half blind but still drives around in her car – however when I told her I once walked up Mount Vesuvious, still an active volcano, she nearly wet her pants, though the chance of it erupting on me was almost zero. (I dread to think of the chances of her having a road accident). Likewise loads of people are frightened of flying but happily drive, even though driving is far more dangerous.
Today I see this inability to judge risk in people’s relative terror of catching covid compared to their willingness to be vaxxed with a potentially very harmful drug.
Of course the lazy work from home Neo Liberals want it to continue
(raises hand)
The vagina is in the House Of Commons
I wish these people would lock themselves away forever. Jesus, wtf should I have to change my life around because of their health anxiety? They need to get themselves psychiatric help, get anti-anxiety meds, sort themselves out one way or another, but mainly they just need to shut up and stop imposing their insanity on the rest of society. I had a relative who thought she was ‘the Queen of Scotland’. She was treated for a schizophrenic-related illness. The rest of the population was not expected to bow down to her or take her in a state carriage to the Stone of Scone. Ffs.
