I’ve written a piece for Mail+ today trying to explain communications omnishambles of the past few days. Here is an extract:
Boris Johnson has executed so many U-turns in the past 18 months, it’s as if his solution to the supply chain problem is to retrain as an HGV driver. But even by this Government’s standards, the past few days have seen some spectacular flip-flopping.
Will vaccine passports be introduced for nightclubs, sports stadiums and other large venues? Judging from the string of contradictory ministerial statements about this, the answer seems to be: “No, but, yeah, but…”
The week began with Boris saying he wanted a “bonfire of Covid regulations”, only for him to give a press conference yesterday warning of more restrictions to come this winter.
Then there was Professor Chris Whitty’s bizarre remarks on Monday about vaccinating healthy 12 to 15 year-olds, which will have left most parents none the wiser about whether it’s a sensible precaution or not.
The only thing Boris seems to have set fire to this week is his last vestige of credibility.
According to some cynics, this conflicting advice is a deliberate attempt by the Government to gaslight us. Trying to discover some rhyme or reason beneath the recent spate of back-of-the-envelope announcements is to misunderstand what Boris is really doing, which is to deliberately confuse us.
In their conspiratorial eyes, it’s designed to soften us up for the mass rollout of ID cards, digital currency and – eventually – a Chinese-style social credit system in which anyone who challenges the billionaire-financed technocratic elite will be socially isolated and financially impoverished. They refer to this diabolical plan as ‘the Great Reset’.
I’m not convinced. As a journalist who has been writing about politicians and their shenanigans for more than 30 years, I’m a subscriber to what’s known as ‘Hanlon’s razor’ – never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In other words, it’s usually cock-up rather than conspiracy. Most politicians I know couldn’t even reset their alarm clocks.
Worth reading in full.

Have you considered starting your own forum?
Have you considered getting a life?
Doesn’t take all the politicians to run this agenda. Many are just career politicos who, if they get too close, get bumped or are happy to be paid off with the role they’ve set their career on.
The global think tanks and their funders. The financiers are where it is at. They have been handing policy to these political bozos for decades, they hardly contribute a single brain cell. What they do know however is that if they don’t do what they are told, there are consequences.
If it’s needless coercion, fear mongering, systemically irrational, it is conspiracy I’m afraid. By their fruits shall ye know them.
The evil genius of this scheme is that it does not take conspiracy or coercion – too many people, including politicians, have been simply convinced that it’s in their best interests to stick to the same agenda. Kind of like nobody dared speak out against inquisition.
But that is part of the plan!
Toby you are wrong.
There might be incompetence along the way but the overall direction is the conspiracy of totalitarianism. The direction is relentless and the same globally. Lock-step as the WEF put it. It’s like Bitcoin, highly volatile until you step back and the general trend is consistent, until CBDC perhaps.
^^^^ This! 100% this!
Too many countries in lock-step, as @Think Harder says, for it not to be planned. No way so many governments are this incompetent.
The “lockstep” is occurring just because idiots like to copy policies of other idiots, and idiot cover-your-ass-don’t-step-out-of-line feedback loops are created in the process of it. It’s really self-perpetuating once a critical mass is achieved.
Herd instinct, as distinct from herd immunity.
Yes, I’m sure these slimy opportunists will use this to their advantage because that’s what they do, but I agree that it’s a case of not wanting to be courageous and do anything different – avoid blame at all costs! It’s why pension funds and the like all crash at the same time- if a fund manager thinks somethings up and pulls out of the market no one will thank them if they’re right but they’ll likely get fired if they’re wrong and the market goes up, whereas if all the funds get caught in the crash no one gets blamed as it’s ‘unexpected’ and happened to everyone.
Well, yes, there’s the group-think phenomenon. It takes a really strong-minded person to resist the “consensus” if the first to speak sets a contrary course. In this case, the Chinese spoke first and said, “lockdown is the way to beat this”. Ferguson the Fraud admitted that SAGE didn’t think that general curfews would fly in the UK, but the fact that the Italians did it and got away with it emboldened them.
However, we need to consider that the planning and preparation for this has been going on for decades. Hundreds of thousands of teachers, NHS staff and Civil Servants have been through Common Purpose training and have been conditioned to respond to trigger words and automatically think along the lines of the “common purpose” for which they have been trained. A deliberate policy of dumbing-down education has been in place. “Wokeness” is destroying critical thinking and debate in academia. The use of “nudge” methods has been formalised. There’s a feedback loop where the results of the NLP and hypnotism used in communication with the public is measured and the inputs adjusted.
So much of this is deliberate and planned that it’s ridiculous to blame it all of incompetence and “cock-ups”, Toby. Yes, it’s hard to imagine BloJob having an original thought, but he is a willing participant, and his narcissistic personality makes him a useful idiot in the hands of those who do understand the plan.
I agree. The fact that there has been incompetence and cock-up, even a large amount of cock-up, does not stop the underlying agenda being conspiracy. It is clearly an international conspiracy, hence unsurprising that UK politicians fluff up their lines from time to time and even get cold feet now and then. However, the vast amount of evidence presented to Reiner Fuellmich’s Corona Committee definitely points to conspiracy. Personally, I am of the view that the key to understanding this conspiracy is the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) desire to become a world super-power and for their brutal totalitarian style of ‘government’ to be internationally accepted. Bill Gates, the WEF, SAGE, Big Pharma, Big Tech and Mainstream Media all trace back to CCP money, collaboration and influence. We ignore this, by brushing off events as a cock-up, at our peril.
I think this is just politics in the 21st century- it’s been going this way for a while now- more regulation, less freedom, more ‘we know best’, and on it goes. This has just brought it into sharp focus.
Then how do you account for the established fact of the involvement of the US Intelligence Agencies and other so called Health Agencies – NIH/Fauci – in funding of GoF research, the patent history of which has been very inconveniently set out by Dr David Martin. With respect , it is too easy to dump on the CCP, malign as they are; there are clearly others involved here whether or not for the same reasons as the other ‘Actors” – GAVI/WHO/BMG/WEF/Schwab/Big Pharma..
Yes, much of it is overt totalitarianism – the heavy censorship and the wall of taxpayers’ money keeping the media in line, the banning of peaceful protest, the online harms legislation, legalisation of criminality by the secret services and the proposal to extend the Official Secrets Act to outlaw government whistleblowing.
It’s a self-fueling mix of cluelessness and cowardice. You don’t need sneaky conspirators when you can just send directions to clueless cowards who will gladly copy other such.
Bitcoin’s “general trend” is the general trend of any ponzi scheme – until it collapses, more people pile in because of fear of missing out. And yes, there is an equivalent in the covid policy – basically most policy decisions are made out of fear of making a blamable mistake, and the mistakes are only perceived as blamable if they differ significantly from those made by other people. In other words it makes sense for a politician to jump on the bandwagon rather than oppose it, just like it makes sense for a bitcoin gambler to believe that they are going to the moon rather than that the pyramid scheme will collapse on them.
Going off topic. Bitcoin, or let’s consider crypto in the general, is no more a ponzi scheme than fiat currencies. Even when they were backed with gold you could argue that gold’s intrinsic value is way less than it trades for. Value is the value people put on something as much as its industrial use value. The point of currency is a means of exchange and if crypto is widely accepted it is a good currency. I would argue the fact that it is not easily controlled centrally and has a limited supply makes it a better currency than the dollar.
However, because it democratices the monetary system I doubt it will survive as is. Somehow governments, central banks or the investment whales will take control. Which is a shame because it could accelerate trade, innovation and equality.
It is very much a ponzi scheme because unlike fiat which is backed by economic power and guns, it’s not backed by anything (think casino chips, not gold, as closest analogy) and because real (non-crypto) money is continuously sucked out of the system through the mining operations and fees. So there is net less left in the scheme than has been paid in (which the funders would very quickly realize had they tried to pull out all at once).
As for “not easily controlled centrally”, that is true, although the shady Tether company appears to have taken the FED role of printing new money out of nothing by emitting their own unbacked tokens (>60 billion dollar worth of them as we speak) and using those to pump up the price of all the other cryptos. So you could say the crypto market is today centrally controlled by Tether. The lack of regulation also enables all sorts of customer abuse by the crypto exchanges (e.g. front-running, wash sales) that have been long banned from established finance. However, most crypto customers – brainwashed and young – are too naive to even notice how much they are being scalped.
Also, the lack of transparency makes cryptos a paradise for money laundering and financing other criminal activity. Ransomware is most publicized, but I suspect there is a lot more, which is probably why the govt is so slow to crack on it: I suspect today they use cryptos for paying their own henchmen abroad whereas in the past suitcases filled with cash would have been necessary. So yeah, you can see crypto has its important applications, but unless you are part of govt/mafia you are not going to be the one to benefit from them in the long run.
“Also, the lack of transparency makes cryptos a paradise for money laundering and financing other criminal activity.”
I think more money has been laundered through traditional banks. Admittedly, they have a somewhat bigger share of money passing through. But crime is not a reason to stop crypto just as crime is not a reason to impose totalitarianism or electronic tagging.
“fiat which is backed by economic power and guns”
Well that’s ok then! That is just another way of saying might is right. Maybe having a token that is not politically controlled and abused is a good thing. Maybe the economic power and might could be global demand for a fairer monetary system.
Yes, I know a pipe dream probably.
What official currencies are really backed by is the fact that governments accept them in payment of taxes.
Maybe having a government that is not politically controlled and abused would be a good thing. Unfortunately, that’s unlikely to happen until significant numbers of people start taking constitutional issues seriously – and there doesn’t seem to be much sign of that yet.
For what it’s worth, I’d say we can’t expect to have a healthy economic system based on a hoardable currency, because that’s one of the main drivers of inequality. That’s one of the reasons central bankers want to get away from cash – because making it lose value when it’s taken out of circulation is technically very challenging.
“we can’t expect to have a healthy economic system based on a hoardable currency”
That’s unavoidable and if you made currencies un-hoardable then it would simply be another asset. An even bigger issue would be who decides and controls what and how much is hoardable.
I should really have said “a hoardable medium of exchange”. For the reasons outlined in that monetary reform piece I linked to above, a truly healthy economic system would need to separate the medium-of-exchange and store-of-wealth functions of money so that the medium of exchange loses value if it stops circulating at an acceptable rate. It would be technically challenging but it is certainly feasible.
I totally agree that the bigger issue would be who decides and controls what and how much is hoardable but then, that’s true for pretty much every aspect of organised society: if we don’t have effective mechanisms to ensure (as far as is possible) that governments operate with integrity, and put the interests of the public ahead of their own, then we can’t expect any part of society to function well.
Cryptocurrencies smack more of the South Sea Bubble, the Back Tulip and the Dotcom BoomBust … to me.
“Black”…..sigh
They might be but they don’t have to be. But if you think bits of paper are better … besides most of the money in circulation is digital already. Watch what happens when everyone tries to ask for their money. It doesn’t really exist physically, a small proportion of it is paper.
One word, Australia. Take a look.
Agreed, Toby is desperate to concoct any explanation except for the simplest ones.
Now, normally that’s incompetence, and malicious cross-briefings.
On this though, no. We’re talking about policies which (e.g.) France, Israel, and the Dwarf from the North are pressing ahead with. In Queen Nicola’s case because she has no capital with capitalists – all her cronies are public sector parasites.
Grosse Leader Johnson may be an oily oik, but he’s oozed his way close to those with power, and is able to beg retail and business oligarchs to implement the New Normal through contracts and policy, rather than having to mandate it by statute – yet.
Don’t fret though: once the Scotch have ironed out the wrinkles, and once “voluntary” compliance has capped out, we’ll get mandatory social credit score apps in civilised climes, as well as a return to muzzles and punishment criminalisation of normal human activity.
How many times does Toby have to get fooled before he figures this out?
That’s what the new UK super-prisons may be for. What’s worrying is the rumour they all have their own crematoriums. They certainly look way bigger that the 1600 capacity claimed.
Can anyone validate?
Toby
It wasn’t your readers that invented the Great Reset ‘in 2030 you won’t own anything but you’ll be happy’ it was the World Economic Forum who are running our economies into unprecedented unmanageable debt with Prince of Wales as signatory. It doesn’t look like an accident and people are naturally concerned.
The way the WEF comes up with such a maxim and seems to think it will sound appealing rather than Orwellian, makes them look incompetent to me. They can’t have even hired a public relations consultant.
I suppose it ought to make them look silly: unfortunately an awful lot of powerful people these days do look very silly.
Debt is “OK” until you cannot service it. Assets acquired by debt is “OK” until you cannot service it – however defaulting collateralised debt is a House of Cards – witness 2008; debt worldwide has grown massively since then.
It’s simple. I said elsewhere that this “flip-flopping” is a stalling tactic. They want to attack business and the people again a la last winter but without announcing it soon enough for people to prepare or object. They want the sudden introduction of restrictions and hysteria to bowl everyone over in the dead of winter.
They can’t pull back because then they lose justification, but equally they can’t go all out yet.
They also need a good take-up on the children’s vaccines so they can hardly admit it doesn’t work which lockdowns would suggest.
The whole of Plan B is an admission that the snake oil doesn’t work.
Paradoxically govt is saying that if the vaccines fail over winter as you suggest, they will revive plans to coerce everyone into taking them. What proportion of people are propagandised/stupid enough to accept this obvious contradiction?
Unfortunately, a lot. It’s probably the majority who have been conned into joining the Covidian Cult. It has all the attributes of religious cults. People sincerely believe that masks reduce transmission of viruses and that a national (or regional) “lockdown” saves lives. There doesn’t have to be solid evidence, because it’s a matter of faith, not of Science.
Likewise, you don’t need solid evidence that the Covid jabs are both safe and effective. So much hype went into the build-up to the rollout that people truly believed that the jabs would be the ONLY way out of a “deadly, unprecedented pandemic”. It never even occured to them to question the words “deadly”, “unprecedented” or “pandemic”. It doesn’t occur to the Cult members to question the word “vaccine” either. Thus it’s implied that the Covid jabs are just as effective as, say, the Smallpox Vaccine that “everyone knows” wiped out the disease. It wasn’t a mistake to call the novel technologies “vaccines”, it was deliberate. Decades of effort have been put into promoting the established vaccines. It’s sad that this fraud is likely to set back confidence in established vaccines for a generation and it has already caused the virtual collapse of existing childhood vaccination programmes in both rich and poor countries.
Roll out those who claim to speak with “authority”, so Fauci, Whitty, Valance. Pay the media to promote only ONE message and suppress any dissent. Empower evil people like Susan Mitchie to create highly coercive, highly emotional messaging and push it out across all media platforms 24/7.
It’s perfectly obvious that the propaganda works when the response to stating something that’s true and evidenced is “How can you even say that masks don’t work? Of course masks work”. It’s faith in the Covid Cult at work and it completely overrides any critical thinking.
I don’t want this government’s actions to be the result of evil, but it’s harder and harder to believe that it’s all just cockup. In fact it would surely have to be classified as a megacockup, possibly even a gigacockup.
‘Hanlon’s razor’ sounds like it should be renamed ‘Hancock’s razor’ to me!
To describe what’s going on after eighteen months as “cock-up” is sheer bloody stupidity.
And I say this as a firm fan of Toby’s for all he has done both here and via the FSU.
Exactly – even a cockup combined with politician’s inability to admit mistakes can’t cover it
Sorry TY, have to agree with HP – it has gone far far beyond cock up – the after effects will be ingrained in what is left of the UK’s “Society” for generations imho. That is the result of criminal incompetence initially but now is culpable malfeasance in public office, again imho, Lawyers may disagree.
Irrespective of the reasons why, this shower, ‘led’ by Johnson, has to go.
But who would replace them?
I’m personally biased towards Toby’s cockup side rather than conspiracy, based on many decades of watching human elites who collectively struggle to organise anything.
But there clearly are conspiracies going on, and just because there are elements of individual incompetence and inconsistency doesn’t mean there isn’t an overall direction of events.
In this regard, I think the case made specifically for Toby by James Delingpole’s recent guest, Dan Tubb, was quite a good one (from about half an hour in):
https://delingpole.podbean.com/e/dan-tubb/
Basically, he describes a situation in which elites are collectively moving towards a situation to resolve a common problem they face with the imminent collapse of the inherently flawed economic model based on unlimited state spending using fiat currency borrowing. It doesn’t require a world-spanning organised conspiracy, just lots of rich and powerful people and organisations pushing in similar directions, based on shared incentives.
But for instance, Toby’s denial that the regime’s flip-flopping is “part of a conspiracy” is probably wrong in some particulars. For instance , it seems clear that there are very powerful people and groups who see a replacement of money with state controlled digital currencies as a necessary change, and “vaccine” passports as a necessary step in that direction, to control dissent and unrest during the period of adjustment to this new order.
So while it’s perfectly likely that in Johnson’s head he changes his mind on implementing a “vaxpass” system from moment to moment, nevertheless the powerful institutions of the technocracy and social elites are aiming unerringly in that direction and will ensure that it happens, whether under Johnson’s watch or another PM’s.
This is the kind of mixture of cockup and conspiracy that reality consists of, imo.
Sort of sums up how I see it. I’d just add that in our PM’s case, he’s essentially been tagged as a populist leader by the globalists that he still wants to hang out with. He appears to be flip flopping from populist to globalist, in an attempt to stay afloat.
Yes. We desperately need populism to resist the ongoing elite misrule, and that’s what drove Brexit and support for Trump. Johnson clearly recognised the wave and tried to jump aboard, but he’s not really a populist, just an opportunist. His problem is that the elites would never really respect him as a serious candidate for leadership
I thinkTrump and Brexit hastened these changes. I think it shocked and scared the elite. It wasn’t their plan. We were supposed to remain and Clinton was supposed to win.
As frequently said – ‘populism’ – the button-pushing of no-think is what we’ve got.
And as frequently pointed out to you – opinion manufactured by state and elite propaganda is not “populism”, indeed it’s almost the opposite.
Populism is an organic rising up against elite misrule, of the kind that has been pushing us for decades in all the political correctness and collectivist directions of the politically and culturally dominant left.
The extent to which the mixed messages are deliberate or accidental may be debatable.
But if anyone tries to convince me that the senior cabinet members and SAGE sincerely believe for a moment that covid is an emergency and that any of the nonsense they cook up bears any relation to reality, I don’t buy that. These are not stupid men and women.
Knowingly perpetuating this situation for political gain is a conspiracy, and it’s evil.
I don’t think you need to get into digital currencies or social credit systems or any of other stuff which may or may not be on their minds. Quite simply, like the war on terror and the war on drugs, the war on covid gives politicians the chance to expand their powers with little criticism while appearing benign, to spend money they don’t have, and to give contracts to their rich mates, who will give them jobs. This is not remotely surprising – politicians have been doing this since time immemorial. It’s not some elaborate theory, it’s par for the course.
“Quite simply, like the war on terror and the war on drugs, the war on covid gives politicians the chance to expand their powers with little criticism while appearing benign, to spend money they don’t have, and to give contracts to their rich mates, who will give them jobs.

These are the ongoing conspiracies, plural, to which I referred.
“I don’t think you need to get into digital currencies or social credit systems or any of other stuff which may or may not be on their minds.“
These are things that are happening and are being pushed towards by multiple powerful individuals and groups. The point is to answer the question posed by Toby of “why would rich and powerful people push towards a destruction of the existing financial order? What’s in it for them?” And by and large, it’s just not credible to claim these people are doing so because they expect to be feudal rulers over a slave population after wiping out billions of people. That’s just not how most people think.
“But if anyone tries to convince me that the senior cabinet members and SAGE sincerely believe for a moment that covid is an emergency and that any of the nonsense they cook up bears any relation to reality, I don’t buy that. These are not stupid men and women.“
That’s a tricky one, because it’s always hard to get inside others’ heads
I think most of the senior scientists, politicians, lawyers, media people, etc pushing the covid panic absolutely do believe that it was an emergency, and that hundreds of thousands of lives, at least, have been saved by their actions.
They are not stupid men and women, in a basic mental agility sense. This is functional stupidity, where people convince themselves that something is true because it suits their ideological agendas and personal interests to believe them. And the reality is that the issues involved here are sufficiently complicated that it is easily possible to shape your interpretation to suit your own needs.
“This is functional stupidity, where people convince themselves that something is true because it suits their ideological agendas and personal interests to believe them.”
Maybe. But if you’re elected to high office and you are making exceptionally big decisions about the nation, restricting liberty in an unprecedented way, then this stupidity if you want to call it that, amounts to malice.
I’ve never claimed the PM et al are trying to destroy the world’s financial system. They might be, but I doubt it. A doubt they give two hoots about it one way or another, per se, beyond how it might affect them in the short term. They are just enjoying the easy power covid gives them, and getting away with stuff they know they wouldn’t get away with normally.
Nothing on earth would convince me Whitty and Vallance believe kids need to be vaxxed.
I’m not sure it matters if it is malice or stupidity, as far as elected politicians are concerned. As I’ve noted many times before now, they are responsible for what they’ve done.
“Nothing on earth would convince me Whitty and Vallance believe kids need to be vaxxed.”
It’s looking less and less plausible that they could convince themselves of that. but then you have to explain what motivates them, or what rationale they use in their own heads to justify what they do. Because it almost certainly isn’t that they want kids injected in order to cause them harm.
In their case, the assumption might be that they are being blackmailed or pressured, but then you have to explain what motivates those doing that to them.
In the end, you come back to are they part of or pawns of an evil conspiracy or are they or whoever is pressuring them just desperately trying to cover their backsides for what has already been done?
“but then you have to explain what motivates them”
Simple – ego. They think they are more valuable than others.
“I’ve never claimed the PM et al are trying to destroy the world’s financial system”
That’s already been done! In 1971 when Nixon dumped the gold standard and in 2008 when QE got out of control to save banks that should’ve gone bust. I.e. saving a bust system. They know QE will not work forever as it becomes exponential. It allows the West to skim money from low salaries in the developing world. It can’t continue forever but the shock wave of stopping would cause collapse. But stop it will have to and Western standard of living will drop proportionate to our productivity. That might cause a level of civil unrest that would unseat or even kill the elite. Hence they must enslave us to save themselves.
They could’ve tried honesty and leveling with us. That would save their necks but not their wealth and position.
Yes. Willful actions need not be based on anything particularly sophisticated. All you need to do is step back and ask the fundamental political question “Cui bono?”.
The financial system – which had been captured to be almost solely as a freed-up mechanism for transferring concentrated resources upwards finally collapsed in 2008, and has been on life support.
Covid has been a mechanism for the further perpetuation of the process of upward wealth transfer in this capital-driven crisis.
I don’t think that all political leaders and acolytes are part of a sophisticated design – that’s where ego-based ‘stupidity’ comes into play. But ‘cui bono?’ includes other drivers – power and control, significance-seeking, control of communication – all of which play to a basic willed script rather than an accidental cock-up. It’s the capture of significant transnational bodies by key interests which is crucial in defining what we call ‘conspiracy’, rather than all-embracing shady meetings of politicians.
Various other agendas can be pulled in to bolster the trajectory.
“That’s just not how most people think.”
It’s not how the majority of people think. It is how some people think, history is littered with them.
“I don’t think you need to get into digital currencies or social credit systems”
You do if you believe they are part of the plan along with COVID and the plan is total control. CBDC, electronic id are possibly the end game not COVID. I just hope to god depopulation is not the objective. I hope the vaccines are not bio weapons in disguise. 2 years ago I would’ve considered myself a nutter. Now I simply hope I have extreme anxiety and it is cock up. This is one situation in which I hope to feel like an embarrassed idiot soon.
Very astute interpretation which I almost thoroughly endorse. However I think there’s something else at work here too: a concerted attempt to sow division. Think about how the corporate media have been dong this relentlessly in the US along racial, gender, and (faux) political lines. Then we have the Trump phenomenon which sent this into overdrive. Now, the coup de grâce: vaxx vs antivaxx, two new tribes who each see themselves as morally and, dangerously, biologically superior. It’s a recipe for civil war of the most hideous and old-fashioned kind. Have the financial overlords decided to foment civil war to distract the masses from said collapse?
“period of adjustment to this new order.”
The problem is the restrictions and controls of the new order will last longer than necessary because the “elite” have such hubris and over confidence they actually believe enslaving us is fair and reasonable!
I, similar to you, think one of the big drivers for what is happening is the imminent collapse of the global economy. The other is the shift in power to a more democratic world that Big Tech was enabling. The elite could see power and their extreme wealth about to drain away. The economic bubble will burst because constantly increasing the money supply beyond productivity increases will make the economies increasingly fragile. They know this but they can’t get out of it in the normal way and it works well as a tool to shift wealth (and hence power) back to the sole ownership of existing elites. Gates and Bezos are not buying land because they’re avid farmers – it’s because the value of land doesn’t evaporate in a collapse.
War used to do the trick but with Nukes it’s too dangerous now. They tried to get the level of fear needed through terrorism but that failed. Climate change wasn’t working either but fear of a virus seems to be doing the job for them.
Have you noticed how terrorism seems to have stopped?
“Have you noticed how terrorism seems to have stopped?”
Depends entirely how you define it:
“They are not stupid men and women, in a basic mental agility sense. This is functional stupidity, where people convince themselves that something is true because it suits their ideological agendas and personal interests to believe them. And the reality is that the issues involved here are sufficiently complicated that it is easily possible to shape your interpretation to suit your own needs”
Very astute; I do not want to fall into that trap Mark sets out, but if “terrorism” is the action of enforcing aims, ideologies, rules on someone by “any” means, including violence and the threat of violence in the absence of the rule of law, I cannot see how “terrorism” has stopped in the UK; it is just State enacted – induced harm by a programme of “vaccine” roll out accompanied by propaganda, mendacity, incomplete presentation of official statistics etc etc is violence; enforcement of guidance by organs of the State ( see how the language of revolution creeps in …must stop that ) is actions enforced “in the absence of law”.
I think large numbers in the UK have not thought this through because they may conceive that the “State” is incapable of acting against the intrinsic personal interests of the population.. I think they are living in a parallel illusory world as, I reckon, do most folks who post on DS view what has happened to the UK since early 2020. “It could never happen here” – well it has and still is, and “we” all know it.
Look at recent UK political history – who did Blair wish to “be like” – the filthy rich, a status with which New ( and “old’, multi property owning ) Labour were/are very comfortable as described by Mandelson, a factory worker from Sedgefield, or a “global” figure of stature and influence who’s opinion is valued worldwide…fast forward, who does Johnson emulate and who does he consider he wishes to emulate – who does mean if he were to say ” I am most like you “.
I cannot help thinking of the parallels between him and his wife and Prince Harry and Ms Markle….maybe I am wrong.
I agree with you.
I meant terrorism has stopped from the usual suspects. Which makes me think it was being used as a tool but failed to generate the required level of fear so COVID has replaced. I mean put yourself in the position of an Islamic terrorist. There couldn’t be a better time to make things even worse.
The pick-up artists used to use a trick (it’s probably described in psychology as anchoring or something similar, I just remember their use and CBA to look it up) whereby they would propose to a girl they just met so that when they rolled back to just asking for a date or telephone number the latter was almost always provided. If they had just asked for the number they were shut down.
This has just been done with obedience passports, they are now cemented in the public’s conscious as a viable strategy and will be accepted when they ‘with a heavy heart’ are brought in. Suggest the most extreme, then pull back and implement a slightly less extreme version with barely a whimper of resistance. Despite, in the case of these passes their utter illogicality, they aren’t even pretending, they just lie to our faces ‘that they are needed to control a virus’ (which you can still catch and spread after being stuck). It’s clearly a tactic and it’s maddening, immoral, illogical and dangerous.
Society is being re-written before our very eyes.
Heaven help us Bunter as a hgv driver – he would be swerving between lanes so much there would be bound to be a jacknife
It’s OK he probably wouldn’t make it out of the yard.
I think we ought to ask about Prince Charles endorsing the Great Reset and what it means. He may not be the monarch yet but he is expected to be, and he is a Privy Councillor so he has clear duties to the realm and this is apparently not an establishment issue.Toby?
Aye, let’s put that barmy, useless toe-rag on the spot with Delingpole asking the questions – make the bastard sweat.
It would be useful to ask him but even more useful to ask our elected politicians – is this some agreed direction of the British state in which citizens have not been consulted: Is it the central purpose of the British establishment to sell us all into slavery? I think we should be told.
Membership of ‘Republic’ will surely rise..mind you, they want an elected president instead, so probably just as bad
Actually, I just wish that family were not screwing up so badly.
Hasn’t Boris’s mother just died? Apart from anything else, why is he still standing at his dictatorial platform chucking out the orders? Isn’t he allowed compassionate leave? When we were treated to Hancock theatrical performance last year, pretending to blub about his great uncle twice removed, sister’s brother’s wife’s cat’s cleaner”s step-dad, or whatever, we were expected to believe it…
Yes, very odd.
And talking about Nicki Minaj
Has she really died, though? What if she was said to not have died, tomorrow. Would that be a cock-up too?
No Toby, it’s a conspiracy because all of the same things are happening everywhere else in the Western world: booster programmes, vaccinating children, threatening or implementing covid passports, maintaining “emergency” powers.
All in lockstep. France, Germany, the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand.
It’s not a cock-up, Toby. It’s a conspiracy. A plan.
Boris makes everything look like a cock-up of course, but therein lies his value to Schwab, Gates and the other globalists pulling his strings.
All of these things happen somewhat synchronously in a lot of countries because they ultimatively come from a coaltion of the currenly ruling forces in the USA (the hegemon) and the word health government aka the WHO.
You could as well have BLM, trans rights and “fifty different genders” in the list.
Yep, all the eco stuff as well.
The point I was trying to make is that there’s no shady global conspiracy here — just whatever the so-called progressive American left happens to be in love with today spilling over into countries belonging to the American block. Eg, unquestioning 150% execution by the government of the FRG and somewhat independent maybe-adoption by Tory-led Britain while the US left’s fifth column in the UK – wrongly called Labour for historical reason – demands “150%” here as well.
This is – of course – heavily oversimplified.
It is the military industrial complex – the deep state. Fascist to the core and owns all the resources…including ours soon.
All this crap started before the ‘American Left’ got in, though.
They are happening synchronously because it’s planned! By 2030 you’ll own nothing and be happy.
They haven’t even tried to hide it, but people still look elsewhere for reasons.
By 2030, the WEF will have published a bunch of more books capturing or trying to capture whatever the zeitgeist was at that time.
You’ll still be trying to rationalise their behaviour when they’re transporting you to one of the camps.
I’m not rationalising anything. I’m just not a horse in front of anyone’s cart. Neither of yours nor of the others.
You are trying to convince yourself that what is happening worldwide is not the result of a conspiracy, despite all the evidence to the contrary. You can believe what you like, but you are living in denial.
I’ll happily be both a COVID denier and a Great Reset denier :-).
Examine your deep psyche. Do you think it impossible because this is England and it surely can’t be happening here or do you logically see that it cannot be happening?
Don’t answer just give it some thought.
I do daily – see my post in response to Mark>Julian – the vast majority of the UK population is supine to the “threat” because they cannot conceive that the “threat” can possibly happen here – but it has!
By “threat” I mean the State acting malelovently against its population.
You can add Turkey to that list.
Belarus president said he was offered 100 billion to go along with the COVID playbook. He declined. You need more evidence?
He should have provided some firmer evidence since nobody believes the worm
The worm in question being the said dictator
I believe him.
100 billion pounds? Dollars? Groats? Bit much don’t you think?
Assuming this is true, it shows declining is an option, for anyone with a backbone.
Or even with no backbone. Just cant trust a dictator like him though.
The only relevant backbone is the GoF turn cleavage site insertion in a chimeric SARS virus by the Bat lady and her colleagues…

get your head out of your arse TY
My take on it is the government feels they need to keep Twitter happy these days. Why the government feels the need to get involved in the first place baffles me.
A very good point
Usually I would be quite happy to accept the ‘cockup’ explanation. But vax passports are the globalists wet dream and it’s happening simultaneously all over the world.
Vax assports where invented by the so-called “left” US establishment in order to enable vaccination coercion. But they’re not a new idea. They’ve existed forever (in paper form) in Germany (called Impfbuch, if I remember correctly — I haven’t actually seen mine since before I was drafted into the military in 1991).
If this was the Black Death and the passports were paper I wouldn’t be so alarmed. But it’s a relative minor disease on a pandemic level. Yes I know it kills people but it really isn’t that bad although I fear it will become bad if required.
Cock Up or Conspiracy ?
Blindingly obvious that it is a conspiracy – even Johnson couldn’t f*ck up this badly and for so long
I think this “conspiracy” label is getting rather tired. It’s taken to mean some evil cabal who have pre-planned everything for their own malicious ends. In my mind, this situation has been leapt upon by a variety of powerful actors to further their own interests. Happily for them, many of their interests appear to align.
Among these groups I would include big pharma (obviously), the WEF/Gates types who see this as an opportunity to mould the world in their hubristic fashion, green fanatics who see the opportunity to adapt these policies to their ends, academics in the field, health service workers, and yes, politicians, who simply love the sensation of power (and quite probably some vested financial interests to boot). I’m sure there are many more, but these spring to mind.
After 18 months of this, I refuse to entertain the ‘cock up’ argument any longer.
Yup, I’m with you.
You’re right that the term ‘conspiracy’ has become muddied and over-used. It’s about manipulation by a conglomerate of powerful interests.
Toby – you’re a good lad and this site has been one of the few shining lights over the last 18 months. But if you really think this is just a cock-up you are staggeringly naive and far too trusting to be a journalist.
Well defense of a preconception is common.
… and this is one.
I wouldn’t deny that cock-up is there in the mix, but there is also obviously a major (dominant?) component of willfulness along with the incompetence.
I mean, I know the present Tory cabinet is way ahead in the stupidity stakes – that’s always been the case, and I know it’s tough to admit that former mates are so dim as to barely qualify for the category of ‘sentient being’; and recognising sheer venality is even harder.
But the incompetence is backed by a planned willingness to indulge in the patent stupidity.
But I can afford to be clear-eyed, having never invested in the clowns that run this vicious circus.
As an addendum – I have seen the operation of the ‘cock-up’ explanation tendency in my own family. It is a comfort blanket for those who have a reluctance to admit the truly dark forces at play, and what such implies. It’s a protective Polyanna syndrome.
It’s perfectly possible to be malicious and stupid at the same time.
Exactly.
I am a great fan of yours Toby and I think that you have given us sceptics a lifesaver in launching this site and keeping it running. But I simply don’t believe that the political events of the past few days have been a cock up. They need to be seen within the global picture of western countries being in ‘lockstep’ as far as lockdowns and the ‘dash for Vax’ is concerned. Add in the censorship by technology companies and the suppression of potentially useful repurposed drugs by many countries. This is by no means a local issue, it’s a global issue that threatens the livelihood and lifestyle of every single living person on this planet. It would seem that our UK government, and those of other countries, has sold us down the river to the interests of Global oligarchs and mega Institutional investors like Blackrock and Vanguard, who just happen to be major investors on Pharma companies that are now guaranteed an income stream in perpetuity from the ‘vaccines’ and ‘booster shots’. This never was and still isn’t about a virus. It’s about a financial reset, clear as mud. Why else would this government persist in using the WEF slogan of ‘Build back better’?
Correct!
Don’t forget the Covid Denier leaders who have been assassinated for not toeing the line. Here are two articles about that. See also assassination of heads of state from Haiti and the Ivory Coast

https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/18/discuss-president-magufuli-dead-at-61/
And don’t forget that Boris Johnson’s father Stanley Johnson is a mad keen depopulator who makes no secret of his desire to see UK population reduced to 15 million or thereabouts. This means that Bojo has very likely spent his whole life being brantrained to share these views.
The jab rollout is an attempted genocide – Coronavirus vaccines cause Antibody Dependent Enhancement according to every animal trial ever for Coronavirus vaccines. ADE causes immune system meltdown, serious disease and death. They know this 100%, they are concealing this extremely important information from the public deliberately while running fake news about huge anticipated hospitalisations and deaths this Winter after everyone has been vaxxd from Covid. It won’t be Covid causing it, it will be ADE and this will be the case for at least 3 years maybe more. It’s a conspiracy. When you are tricking and blackmailing people into taking something high risk which you know has every chance of wrecking their immune system and killing them while blocking access to low risk safe and effective drugs which cure said illness, that is deliberate attempted genocide and that is their gameplan. The Covid story (covid has a 99.8% survival rate from natural immunity but they had to make people scared enough to demand the vaxx so they never mention this and only ever quote their fraudulent death toll from the fraudulent tests providing fraudulent diagnosis) is pure PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY, a phrase from the trial of Anthony North, who was involved in one of their previous illegal scams, IRAN CONTRA. Covid provides PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY from the planned vaxx-induced ADE genocide which is incoming. It’s now just a question of scale – how bad is the ADE going to be. No-one knows the answer to that question, but the honest experts including Robert Malone MD who invented the mRNA vaxx technology is saying that the early signs of ADE are in place, so it’s all systems go.
ADE was the plan from the very start. They discovered that CV vaxxs cause ADE, then they hatched a long term plan to get everyone vaxxd against coronavirus aka the common cold. You have just lived through the first part of that plan. It’s so blatant and obvious. Creating an epidemic of ADE was always the plan, they tricked everyone in to taking CV vaxxs to make it a reality.
Toby is a shill, this article is an insult to peoples’ intelligence, it’s pure misdirection and covering up for his genocider friend whose actions are criminal and only criminal. Bojo is a lowlife.

Sorry but you are incorrect about Blackrock/Vanguard – they only deliberately own Big Pharma where they buy them as part of an “active” management strategy – these two control mega money in passive or quasi passive ETFs – where Big Pharma stocks inhabit the index they track – and this is very significantly simplified – index replication is done by various means, one of which ( the majority) is buying actual stock. If you want to take aim at this , look at who control computer share buying programmes outside ETFs, who actually “buy and hold” these stocks, who shorts them or goes long – which pension funds own these stocks ( that might ire some folks…)
The reason Big Pharma inhabit an index is because demand is created and the market does the rest – if over a period Big Pharma drop out of a particular index, ETFs will, generally, be sellers – would Blackrock/Vanguard ETFs still be villains then?
Interesting.
So who is in financial control, who ultimately owns the Pension funds / programs?
Who realistically will gain from a collapse?
I think Robert Kennedy Jr can sort this one out for us.
He is the person best qualified to speak as his father and uncle were both shot by the same people who are now coming for us. Excellent analysis he provides, by the way.
Toby knows he is talking rubbish, but he will get his knighthood for running this site

Indeed, Follow the money.
They put in place clowns, so cock-ups are believed to be from their utter stupidity. Their bosses (not general public) put these clowns in place so it appears this way.
More cock-ups will appear on a weekly basis until winter when influenza and coronavirus season begins. Deaths will then be borrowed, as was last year.
Just a thought, how will the pubic know when deaths are from the clot shot rather than the virus. Deaths within 7 days of a positive test (CT over 35 still?) count towards death with Covid-19.
Or at what point will people accept the government are trying to slowly kill you?
It is impossible to distinguish between death from weaponised coronavirus (the one circulating atm) and death from the weaponised vaccine, as (especially the booster) is highly likely to cause ADE which is just an over- inflammatory reaction to covid 19 – so that you get pneumonia and die.
The perfect murder.
Anyone over forty dying of a clot or heart attack cann be dismissed as a normal death.
They have overreached themselves by injuring children though.
I had a (very) distant relative die from the clot shot. She was 35 with 2 young kids aged 6 and 1. Newspaper link
Report reads she took her first AZ shot in March and fell ill that week. If they get the kids it’ll be a blood bath for the next 2 years until Nuremberg 2.0 begins.
I think the immediate, short term, adverse events were an unforeseen error. We were supposed to be all jabbed and boosted before unexpected deaths started occurring to be blamed on variants and unvaxed. The variants probably created by leaky vaccines. The real cause could be ADE.
I wonder if without vaccine we would’ve had herd immunity by now and COVID just be another bad cold virus?
No not unforeseen at all. Mike Yeadon, Wolfgang Wodarg and Doctors for Covid Ethics all wrote to the EMA to tell them blood clots would happen and they were ignored. By printing this crap, you are literally doing the dirty work of these murderous filthbags.
The “shot” permanently damages blood vessels – Dr Charles Hoffe explains D-dimer test
https://www.bitchute.com/video/qiZzCkjEk4PL/
The news story portrays the problem as being only with the AZ shot specifically. This may still be a common misconception.
I gather that Bozo has been reshuffling his cabinet. Sort of stirring up the muck in the sewage farm.
The intention is obviously to stick knives in the backs of those who want to stick one in his.
Doesn’t either further or damage our cause, as far as I can see…?
Let’s find the middle way here. Boris is incompetently and half-wittingly implementing a conspiracy.
Does this sway your view…
All from the stables of the Schwab WEF.

I concur with this point. IMHO, what we’re currently experiencing is simply a weak and pretty incompetent prime minister all kinds of interested parties try to pull – with more-or-less success – into their favoured directions.
Eg, the July 19th announcement was a perfect example of have-and-eat-cakery.
Toby, a “conspiracy” doesn’t mean that Johnson is consciously part of it, if that’s why you casually dismiss the idea. It would be enough if those he relies on for advice are part of it. He’s a tousle-haired nincompoop with no particular views, he only wants position and power.
“Most politicians I know couldn’t even reset their alarm clocks”. That’s why they are such easy prey for the invisible buggers who have promoted this “protect the NHS” farce for
3 weeksa year and a half.I’ll see your Hanlon and raise you Occam.
Oh ffs Toby, how can you be so naive? The same gradual process is happening everywhere! Do you think that’s purely coincidence?
Here in Turkey, they first created the ‘HES Code’ under the pretence of it being a kind of passenger locator code for your safety of course.
It’s now a QR code that you link proof of vaccines or negative tests too which get scanned in certain situations to gain entry that, like in many EU countries, soon become widened.
Today, Turkey announced that its beginning a process looking into its own Central Bank Digital Currency. It’s happening, and by the time you and your pals wake the fuck up, it’ll be too late if it isn’t already.
Great post
We haven’t had the weirdest two years ever, with life changing limits on freedom and the threat of medical apartheid just because Boris Johnson’s a bit ‘flip-floppy’.
Quite so; TY must be on the pay-roll. Surely he can’t be THAT slow on the uptake???
All these cocking countries cocking up in the same cocking way at the same cocking time. No wonder the cockspiracy theorists are having a field day.
When ‘plan B’, which is so obviously plan A, is activated, the UK’s ‘Covid pass’ will be even more restrictive than most; it will be ‘vaccine only’,no tests, no recovery. It’s blatantly mandatory vaccination through the back door. Why are they so intent on vaccinating everyone? What exactly is in it?
Shite
Breathtaking blindness to the obvious.
”They were lying from the beginning,” as Dr Urso says. Then they took over the clown government, so many of whom Toby has known for so long. The clowns couldn’t reset their alarm clocks, yes, that’s why it was so easy for Whitty, Valance, Ferguson and their international colleagues.
If Toby had focused from the start on the medical side, instead of becoming an expert on lockdowns, he would have seen it.
This piece is a form of virtue signalling.
Very sad.
PS The Clown Cabinet weren’t gas lighting, that’s true. Boris just forgot for a heady moment of two that he was not in charge. Then the true government arrived to remind him.
Only time will tell.
I am totally willing to believe that Johnson is a ‘last person I spoke to’ sort of giy. Plus he is a born liar.
However what is without doubt is that he has the same script wrtiter as Macron as Biden as half a dozen other ‘leaders’. You can almost see the same words on the prompter.
If this was one guy in the UK , maybe the ‘cock-up’ theory might hold water, but its clearly co-ordinated internationally. They all use the same NY based PR/Communications firm for goodness sake.
No Mr Young, your thesis is comforting in some ways, but has no credibility.
And STILL I have to complain about Toby being pally with ‘Boris’. A review of editorial policy is needed. He is ‘Johnson’ or ‘Mr Johnson’. This is not the Daily Mail. He is not our friend, and he is not somebody we remotely approve of.
The important thing for all of us to remember is that these are politicians and the world over they have the same skills, routinely lying, and failings, being numerically illiterate.
Never forget the old maxim. If a politician’s lips are moving then he or she is lying.
Doesn’t seem like many folks here believe TY’s cock up theory. Add me to the pile.
As the saying goes, never let a good crisis go to waste. Our betters obviously have grand plans.
It’s too coordinated across the globe to be a cock-up.
Yes. Interesting though how different countries are reacting differently but yet the same, as if they are refining the process.
Off topic, but looks like Gove’s been demoted in cabinet reshuffle. The odious vaccine minister has been made education secretary. Looks like the post of vaccine minister isn’t there any more (based on Guido).
A smidgeon of good news. But “I am king” Johnson (there’s a characteristic Toad remark) will not necessarily improve without him.
And it puts him in a position to coerce schools to jab more children.
Exactly!
Flip-flopping and U-turns are task items in the Covid phase of the project plan.
The next phase is the global economic reset to clear $2.4 Quadrillion of debt exposure.
This will also facilitate a global power grab by a gang of very wealthy and powerful elites.
…in my humble opinion as a veteran conspiracy theorist who is invariably right
It might be that many of the politicians are just incompetent fools, but it’s often that the bigwig business people from global corporations who effectively run the World Economic Forum that ‘shapes’ how most Westen politicians act.
Essentially it’s not Boris and Co that are pulling the strings. IMHO the civil service bods like Whitty & Co are either in on it because they WANT all the globalist control (more big government) or they are niave fools who just do as the ‘mob’ (twitterati, activists, journos – all of whom are heavily inflenced by the powerful group – and China) want.
Either way – not good, and China dn the globalists win big time and our freedoms and democracy severly diminish.
I’d say if you are a high-ranking politician, you must have a big worry of becoming physically taken out by unidentified assassins if you do the wrong moves. It does not take all that much, e.g. the story of Navalny comes to mind. Surely it’s also something that our dear leaders spend much time pondering, especially when deciding on matters that involve spending billions of pounds/dollars for the benefit of an industry which may have some direct access to their personal physicians.
One question Toby. If this is cockup not planned BBB/Great Reset/Common Purpose, why are they now authorising injecting this experimental gene therapy into 12-15s and why, given how totally benign this ‘virus’ is to below 80year olds, they are researching injecting this poison into babies+ next?
As part of a culture war against anyone who questions The Science™.
Despite my last post, having thought again (and again as all us sceptics do) maybe Toby pretends to buy the ‘it’s a cockup’ crap in order to continue to give us this platform and keep one (half of one) foot in the mainstream?
Sorry Toby, what the government ministers have been up to is not “shenanigans,” as if they’re a bunch of rambunctious boys playing practical jokes. Please drop the insouciant pose. Despite their capricious and contradictory “policy” changes, (now maddeningly predictable) they are moving rapidly and determinedly towards their goal. It’s time to get deadly serious.
This article might have been believable a year ago, not now. So many blatent lies that benefit the political elites grab for power and the pharma industrial complex. The push for vaccine passports globally through the same totally unjustified lie. Talking points taken straight from the WEF’s great reset facism. The clear psychological manipulation. No this is definatly a plot, badly executed by incompetent tyrants.
We know this site can’t veer to the C word and remain relevant & taken seriously. So yeah, carry on with the global cock-up theory…it matters not really. Putting a stop to it all is ALL that matters
I like Toby but he is wrong.
This is only about the vaccine passport and nothing else.
We must remember the politicians are humans too, and they take vaccines. Accidents do happen. Especially if you cut off too many billions of pounds that are supposed to flow to the “right” people.
No conspiracy needed to do the “right” thing. Just a gentle nudge.
You are off your head, chum! Do you really think MPs are dumb enough to get injected with this shit?

The reason they probably refused to show a pass is because they can’t; not one of them has been vaxxed, just like all the other smart people. They just don’t want Bozo to know.
Bozo’s twitter post “Level up the country” “we will build back better”. If not malice, that’s some legendary level incompetence.
Whilst I am definitely inclined towards conspiracy and have been since the start, there must be an additional factor at play. Governments must feel they have no choice; they already have wealth and power, why suddenly attempt to grab even more? I’m with Ernst Wolff. I think it’s a smokescreen designed to cover up an impending economic collapse that they know they will be blamed for and an emergency attempt to shift to digital currencies in a way that looks like an organic response to an external threat. All the while sending the masses into a frenzy of fear, mistrust and division. I mean here we all are, terrified not of the virus but the policies, we’re perhaps just as much victims of propaganda as the obedient majority we think of as sheep. What if we’re all being tricked?
In other words, perhaps totalitarianism is an emergent property of economic conditions and we are in the sunset years of the Weimar Republic?
Rather than look at the effect, which is a mirage. Tell us the boring details of how the conspiracy works in practice
The global financial system is fucked. We’re fucked, and they’re gonna keep trying to fuck us some more and they’re not interested in lube. Personally, I think they’re trying to reduce the amount of us that are gonna fuck them back once we’re so sore that they can’t hide the fact they’ve been fucking us.
So, to clarify, the plan is to fuck us.
The details are keep fucking us so we don’t realise we’re being fucked.
The budget is being covered by printing and more fucking.
Now fuck off and do your own research. Start at Jekyll Island. I’d love to share further but I’m busy getting fucked.
I guess it’s probably a coincidence that all of these cock ups are leading to more wealth and more power for just a select few.
No that’s capitalism.

President John F. Kennedy
Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City
April 27, 1961
It’s definitely a conspiracy. How else to explain how scores of countries all discarded their pandemic preparedness plans all together the all adopted the same stupid plans instead?
Seriously, all lies & many in SAGE type groups would know they were lies.
Scores of countries don’t make up the whole world though, do they? So what do those countries have common? The biggest ones are English-speaking. They don’t have to bother actively censoring info about the countries taking a different approach; the Anglophone media normally ignores everywhere outside the Anglo-sphere anyway.
They also have governments that are politically powerful and philosophically weak. They may know what they are doing, but they don’t know why they are doing it. They have no values, no political philosophy. They are a bunch of careerist narcissistic personality-politicians. In Britain, the leader of the opposition doesn’t even have much in the way of personality, thereby rendering him useless, but that’s the one thing the PM does have and he knows how project it in an exaggerated manner to the advantage of his career. That’s all he does: act out a public persona. Philosophically he is utterly vacuous.
Starmer is the exact parallel to Johnson, but currently working within a smaller sphere to demolish the Labour Party as a broad-based challenging political entity (the actions of he and his acolytes are well documented), just as Johnson’s canvas is the destruction of liberty in the country as a whole.
He is a placeman, put in place as a safe alternative to Johnson for when the steam runs out for the Tories.
This is not ‘party politics’ by any known definition – it’s an establishment coup.
Exactly!
Kim Jong Johnson is incapable of the most elementary thought, he is utterly evil and driven by whim.
That’s right, cock-up. Nothing to see here.
I suppose you know how politics is funded…
Taxes? Donations? Village fetes?
No you’re wrong it is a conspiracy, Johnson won’t be trusted with the details but no way would so many different countries keep making the same mistakes at the same time by accident.
Cockspiracy
No Cock-up…its monetary greed. These government ‘idiots’ will be on the payroll for life so will never suffer the upcoming super inflation…

Aldous Huxley believed all ideological or religious tyrannies may eventually be overthrown, however a tyranny based on science is inescapable.
If he meant science in the sense of the pursuit of knowledge, he got that one wrong. The tyranny taking over is The Science™ and it is highly ideological.
I think perhaps Boris is cocking up the conspiracy. Klaus must be irritated that we’re not quite as oppressed as Australia (yet). Keep the resistance up!
There’s a huge great conspiracy elephant in the room …… which Toby Young refuses to see.
The only conspiracy is among capitalists who want more of your money and your time, everything, everything is an opportunity for them to make money. Gas chambers, vaccines, bombs, guns, tanks.
“Cock-up” is plain wrong and Toby should stop using that word. I don’t see how that suggestion can be controversial to anybody.
It’s also not a conspiracy. Left wing people are doing what they always do, it just looks weird because it’s at 10 times the normal speed at which they usually act.
Left wing? I missed that bit.
Oh, didn’t you know? The mega-rich, global capital and the financial system are all agents of the Communist Party of Great Britain

There is little doubt that COVID-19 can be a serious disease for the unlucky few. However, for the vast majority it is not fatal. A healthy 30 year old is at orders of magnitude less risk than an unhealthy person in their 80’s. Even in the 80 plus age group, with all their associated health problems and vulnerabilities, you’re looking at about 1 fatality for every 10 infections, as a rough benchmark.
It is so very hard to see why this constitutes a medical emergency. Serious? Absolutely – so is a bad flu. Emergency? Maybe I am callous, but I just can’t see it.
Yet we’ve been subjected to massive amounts of propaganda aimed at pushing the message that we need to be afraid, that this is a deadly pandemic of unprecedented proportion. The actual mortality figures do not show this at all, and yet this “deadly, unprecedented” myth persists.
The propaganda wasn’t a “cock up” was it? The continuing propaganda isn’t a cock-up is it? The extreme censorship and suppression of alternative scientific views, some from very qualified and eminent scientists, is not a cock-up is it?
The propaganda and censorship campaigns have been extremely competent. Ruthlessly so. Johnson’s public persona may be that of a bumbling, likeable chap trying to do the right thing in very difficult circumstances, yet the overall direction of the promotion of fear and suppression of information, has been spectacularly competent.
I do not see incompetence, or cock-up at all.
Could they themselves have been infected with the same hysteria they have brutally infected many people with over this last 18 months? I might believe this, but then they are clearly not personally terrified. On camera, these politicians obey all the rules. Off-camera, they behave as normal (the proper normal – not this freakish bastard love-child of Mao and Cruella de Ville “normal” we’re living with now). They clearly do not believe their own propaganda.
Although we appear to have eased off vaxx passports – for now – they are being enforced elsewhere, more and more. Citizens have to prove their “health” status in order to shop for food. It’s not even that – it’s their vaccinated status they have to prove. Yet, as recent scientific work has shown, “vaccinated” and “healthy” are most definitely not synonymous when it comes to COVID-19 infection or the ability to infect others (including the vaccinated).
But leaders still talk of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”, smearing the unvaccinated as spreaders of disease. This is not a cock-up is it? This is deliberate. Chillingly so.
Remember the big picture – it’s critical to understand this. We have a disease that is (maybe) twice as bad as a severe flu. Try to match that context up with the very deep and significant changes to society we have made. I can’t – and I don’t see how it’s a cock-up either.
My whole family had Covid last year pre vaccinations. It truly was like a bad cold. That was it. The two 70+ year olds commented, if they knew this was the extent of it they wished they had it sooner!
You’re right in essence – but your concept of actual risk is way, way exaggerated.
The base magnitude, even for the 80+ is indistinguishable from the normal age profile of mortality.
I’m not sure I’d agree with the “way, way” part – but yes, definitely exaggerated. I calculated the risks based on the ONS data – and this is flawed for the reasons we all know. The risk here is the risk given infection (again I stress based on the faulty ONS data).
But you’re absolutely right. The question we need to ask is whether the pre-pandemic risk of mortality has been significantly changed by the pandemic in the 80+ group. And in that I suspect there has been only a small increase.
In that age group your risk of succumbing to a variety of things is higher – and we might suppose that whilst covid19 was a significant factor over the last 18 months, if it hadn’t been covid19 it would have been something else, for many.
TY being not convinced is irrelevant- BJ being a fuckwitless human is irrelevant- the only relevancy is action – here is the summary – go cash, make connections and do not comply. https://odysee.com/@AussieFighter:8/Reiner-Fuellmich-Message-To-The-World:5
Toby seems increasingly desperate to convince himself. I think few people now believe this is accidental, just look at Australia rubber bullets against protesters, just look at the jab rollout, where previously 52 deaths worldwide would halt a new drug here we’re into the tens of thousands and they’re moving on to jabbing kids and all for a virus comparable in most cases with flu!
You are looking at the effects. Tell us how the conspiracy works in practice. The boring details about how it’s coordinated and planned.
How would any one of us know? We’re not in the inner circles and can only guess at it. What are you getting at exactly anyway?
We all value and welcome alternative viewpoints, and you have been quite vocal that you don’t think that there is an agenda / plan. Can I ask (in all seriousness) how you would explain the global desire to introduce vaccine passports (while specifically not acknowledging the immunity brought on by natural infection) and why absolutely everybody has to be vaccinated for a virus (with technology that has no long term safety studies) that statistically poses very little threat to the vast majority of people under a particular age?
Could it not be just opportunism, and copying each other, and the desire for more power? All these things are pretty common to the political classes everywhere.
I think the “conspiracy” is within the UK senior government – cabinet, some parts of SAGE. How openly they talk about it I don’t know, but they know what they are doing is useless and wrong from a public health point of view.
Read David Icke’s books if you want to better understand the structure and reasoning behind it.
Speaking of supply chain problems. Anyone else been refused a blood test at their local GP surgery lately? My husband was yesterday. He has cancer and relies on these tests to monitor his condition. The NHS which is so obviously on its knees does not have any blood vials. Who ever thought it would come to this?
Funny I didn’t here one of our great MP’s mention this minor problem in PM’s questions yesterday. On that same train of thought, did any of the 600+ MP’s bother to mention the 5 million plus citizens, waiting for non urgent surgery? You know things like hernias, new knees and hips, cataracts etc etc.
But hey, if you want a lateral flow test or just want to test yourself twice a week as this great gov’t recommends, you can pick up a dozen or more kits at any of the thousands of mobile Covid test centres located on every corner in the country. Flu shots now available, closely followed by another Covid jab. No shortage of cash for this nonsense.
The greatest ‘conspiracies’ are the hardest to see, even for seasoned journalists like Toby Young. What is really strange is that he has been party to all the information that counters the official narrative. He has seen the levels of propaganda and censorship that exist in the media and the complete blanking of anything that goes against this. He has seen all the reports – or at least knows about them – about vaccine harm, infection mortality rates etc etc and all of the other alternative evidence that counters official arguments. BUT…for some reason, he would rather go down the ‘Carry on’ version, the comical Keystone Cops knockabout version that it is all some huge cock-up, a ‘mind me drawers Mrs Grimthorpe, oooh don’t mind if I do’ comedy that will eventually lead to a safe, happy conclusion as we all fall about laughing. For god’s sake, Toby, your obtuseness knows no bounds. This flip-flopping is a softening up. This government knows exactly what they are doing. No for one moment did I believe that they were going to abandon their intent on the digital ID. Not for one moment did I not believe that ‘The Great Reset’, (the awkwardly phrased ‘Build Back Better’ adopted as the election slogan for a number of governments around the world, strangely but actually not so strangely, that also happens to be one the World Economic Forum slogan as well) is what they are all aiming for. When is the penny going to drop? All the talk about the virus, on both sides, has actually become the virus. The media spread it on so thick, you can’t get away from it. It infects all life. You can’t move for hearing about it or seeing the effects (masks etc) of it. It is everywhere. It is clogging up the life blood, stifling normal life. A virus with a high survival rate, the vaccine for which is extremely dubious not to mention dangerous. This is not a cock-up. This is evil – sorry but there’s no other word for it – and because we would never have thought in a month of Sundays that our own government and all the institutions in which we put our trust would betray us so deeply and profoundly. You’re right though, Toby, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s a plan.
so give us the details of the plan? The strategy, the tactics, the coordination, the project managers, the comms strategy, the leadership team, the budgets,
I don’t think there is a plan – I think it’s opportunism. But there is malice, evil, dishonesty. It’s beyond a cockup.
Have a word with yourself. They’re not gonna leave a briefcase containing the plans lying around. But if you shake some of that concrete between your ears, you might just join the dots playing out in real time. You’re truly taking the piss – they’re injecting this shit into kids, shit which has already killed a lot of people and harmed hundreds of thousands in the UK to what, cover their arses? Either wake up, grow up, or do one.
Johnson saw what happened to Trump. The American President publicly attacked Globalism and pulled out of the WHO, then in co-ordination with the Chinese CP a man made virus was released. Though mild, it was globally hyped and most politicans fell into line. A choice of being attacked like Trump (or worse – see anti-scamdemic former President of Tanzania – a ‘heart attack’) or getting richly paid sinecures after office, it was a no brainer.
This country is paying dearly for Johnson’s venal weakness, backed by control loving leftists on the opposite benches in Parliament.
To think that this is a “cock-up” is to presume that a bunch of nice, well-intentioned but wholly incompetent people (Old Etonians, medics, pseudo-modellers, Communists and the rest) are at the helm, with no other consideration but the welfare of the nation, its prosperity and so forth, and getting it through a tricky time. The problems they’re having are only because they’ve just taken up yachting and are learning the ropes, from a foreign sailing manual.
That is a preposterous notion.
There is no doubt that the entire thing is as malign as it can be. Whether this is because of an organised “conspiracy” might be debated, but there can be no doubt, to anyone not blinkered, that the entire incompetent fiasco is founded on malevolence, not beneficence, and compounded by complete arrogance, stupidity and amorality, with more than a fair smattering of monetary greed and corruption. In fact, a reflection of how the CCP runs things.
Toby Young, read Agenda 21 and 30.
Boris Johnson is following the Agenda that’s been written for him. The ‘cock-ups’ are planned. He knows when the next lockdown will happen and for how long. Psy-Ops are on board as is the MSM. Each day we get closer to the Great Reset and a totalitarian world.
Toby I hope you’re right. Having travelled around the World during the plandemic it is clear that there is a huge amount of co-ordinated response, even down to the wording and signage of the responses from ALL countries. The fact that some are ahead makes it easy to see where the World is heading. Lithuania no longer allow you to work without your vaccine pass or even watch your kids play tennis at the outdoor clubs. It’s shocking but being put in place in more and more places, not less and less. I have never been scared of ‘the virus’ but I am absolutely terrified of the vaccine passes, digitial ID and continuation of emergency laws.
Personally, my belief is there are intertwining strands of ambition in operation. Whether by accident or design (more likely accident) the virus was released from the Wuhan Lab where Gain Of Function research was undoubtedly being conducted. But that’s nothing unusual, what do we imagine goes on at Porten Down and innumerable labs. around the world. They’re not concocting knitting patterns, and clearly not inventing vaccines or counter Bio weapon materials.
Politically, I think Toby’s right, most of us are old enough to go back to Ted Heath and every intervening PM and cabinet have got more things wrong than right with the possible exception of Thatcher who told us she was going to free the country from tyrannical governments, which she did, but in the end became just as tyrannical.
However, this has been a bonanza for opportunists and corporate predators to pile in on, not just pharmaceutical companies. The Davos clique have also been pulling strings to further their globalist ambitions, as have every NGO which thinks it can scramble for more power.
The insane NetZero ambitions are also confusing matters as there are powerful corporate entities gunning to profit from it, not least the Banks who will be lending £100,000 to every householder in the country to have 20 million households upgraded to NetZero standards. Boris is on a hiding to nothing with this one and it will be the hill he dies on as energy prices spiral wildly out of control and the country ends up with power cuts.
The fact is, there may well be a globalist ambition and, indeed, conspiracies to implement a New World Order with a global government but, who will be ‘President’? The Davos uber wealthy elite are all the most ambitious, ruthless, narcissistic people the planet has ever seen. They would all stab each other in the back to become King of the world. Quite how that one would play out would be interesting to speculate on, I would put my money on Elon Musk, the lesser of many evils in my opinion as, at least he appears to have a functioning brain. Bezos is like a kid in a sweet shop and Gates is a one trick pony, an uneducated software salesman.
As mentioned elsewhere, governments around the world are simply terrified to not do what every other government is doing, and if it was a global conspiracy, did Sweden not get the memo?
Sweden, Denmark and others don’t really need to implement the full package to coerce their populations to accept the coming Global Digital ID. They already have a digital ID system in place. It’s the populations that have so far resisted that level of state control that have to be coerced into compliance.
So why not coerce them further by adopting all the measures every other country has? The fact is, the global balance of wealth hasn’t really changed other than every country is further in debt, so why not Sweden?
It’s statistically unlikely that ALL countries would follow the same path. Too many random variables.
It was always likely that the red states in the US would resist.
In Sweden its a combination of three things: constitution forbids restriction on movement, it also forbids politicians micromanaging public agencies (a bit like the Bank of England in the UK is nominally independent, so is the public health agency in Sweden), and the fact that the head of that agency (Tegnell) has an independent streak. If the latter weren’t the case then everything would have been different.
The interesting thing is that the only individuals that obey the state are law abiding folk, so really there is no purpose to the ID cards.
The Z-man calls this ‘anarcho-tyranny’ in the US context (it makes less sense in the UK context). Tyranny for the law abiding, but they also have to put up with the lawlessness of the non-law abiding, whom the government does not try and control.
“Thatcher who told us she was going to free the country from tyrannical governments”
… and, instead laid the foundations for an out of control dominant financial system …. leading to …. the scamdemic.
WeWantEvidence is right. I live in Denmark. They’ve already proved they can do the Vax Pass – you needed it to go to the hairdresser and even a bar. They’ll have no problem bringing it back if need be. Both Sweden and Denmark have punitive taxation rates with bureaucracy to boot, so they’ve both got form for screwing the taxpayer.
This ain’t no cock-up. This is self preservation, an attempt to get control through fleecing Joe Public’s purse and getting the numbers down to more manageable levels before the fiat shit hits the fans. They’re fucking toast once everyone realises their pensions and savings are worthless. Whatever happened to interest rates huh?
Cock-up my arse. Sure feels like it though.
Just go take your jabs and watch the football, Toby.
Sorry Toby, but I disagree. It is conspiracy disguised as cock up. Why else would we have the situation where the government is doing everything it can to vaccinate the young.
I tried very hard for a long time to believe that the present position we find ourselves in was simply the recurring utter incompetence from those like Bozo – who it appears is intellectually ignorant in relation to anything that didn’t occur in the Greco-Roman era – to deal with anything resembling a problem in the present day.
However, as time has elapsed and certain things have become known about the highly debatable aims of those in the WEF and the support from some very rich and dangerous individuals like Bill Gates, with his very disturbing views about how to achieve control of population, climate etc, and also highly dubious creatures like Fauci, then my view has changed completely.
Given how here in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, many countries in Europe, and now via the obviously controlled and senile individual in the Whitehouse, basic inalienable human rights – to move freely without restriction, no requirement to identify yourself to perform normal everyday tasks, freedom of thought and speech, taking responsibility for our own bodies and those of our children – are all being restricted or removed completely, at the will of a few of those “in control”, I can no longer believe this is just a monumental series of “cock-ups”.
If Toby genuinely still believes this, then I am staggered.
It’s possible Bozo is just a useful idiot who, due to his immense ego and undoubted (entirely misplaced) belief in his superiority and greatness as a “leader”, was easy to bring onboard via his other half (for now at the time of writing anyway…) and his obvious inability to control his behaviour in a sensible, rational manner, when governed by the contents of his underpants, as seems likely by his previous record in that department.
Just my view.
Tom Luongo puts it nicely in a recent article:
“When you see government policy an order of magnitude more incompetent than can be explained by internal squabbling and petty corruption, you are dealing with something willful.”
“This is always what I’ve envisioned the ‘failure’ of the Great Reset to look like whenever I’ve invoked that idea. They’ve (Davos Inc.) taken their shot at it. Where they have the most control and favorable
laws/infrastructure — i.e. the English Commonwealth, France, Italy, Germany, Spain — they are ramping up the tyranny.”
So it’s not a conspiracy when….
-Known, cheap and effective treatments are blocked for use by the medical system, and MSM lies are published to discredit them?
-Government medical officers produce manipulated data live on television as their ‘proof’ of the pandemic?
-They lie about hospital bed occupancy?
-Flu data stops being separately published?
-They claim flu cases worldwide have dropped by 97% but in their place we have Covid with flu like symptoms…and they still push the flu shots?
-They say passports are a conspiracy theory and “not how we do things in this country” before shortly announcing passports, or not, or yes?
-They ignore data from countries that imposed no social restrictions, and even lie about their success in the media?
-‘Covid-19 Diagnostic Test Instruments and Apparatus’ entries show up in 2018 on the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) website?
-The CDC now only regard you as vaccinated 14 days after receiving the 2nd covid vaccination (Pfizer & Moderna) and 14 days after receiving the 1st vaccination (Janssen).
80% of Covid vaccine deaths occur during the first 14 days
‘Cock-up’ is unintentional, human-error for which there is no blame, thus no guilt, which undermines all lawyers’ efforts to stop lockdowns.
Instead of ‘conspiracy’, saying ‘knowing and intentional’ clarifies alternative that supports lawyers’ efforts to stop lockdowns.
‘Cock-up’ implies that not only does Eton accept dunces, but so too does Oxford, undermining people like Dr Sunatra Gupta.
Johnson excels in ‘playing the clown’; it’s an infallible escape-route that only the very bright can pull off.
Calling it ‘cock-up’ is arrogant know-it-all, which learns nothing itself, so is easily tricked by the few with Johnson’s ability to ‘play the clown’.
All of all actions since Feb 2020 have been highly skilled, knowing, fully intentional maximising of Pharma/IT’s profits.
Our good health is bad for Pharm/IT’s profits.
Fear and restrictions inflicted on normal biochemistry and physiology destroy our physical health, escalating need for all Pharm/IT’s products; 18 months plenty to shorten life-expectancy of healthy adults to 2 – 5 more years. Jabs being ‘back-up’.
The know-how is Pharm/IT’s who bought academia, WHO and governments decades ago and recruit other wealthy ‘agendas.’

The article about Lithuania now has pictures, and looks to me just like China with it’s social credit score system, and the videos I have seen of people having to scan in and out everywhere they go.
I am amazed this is not being publicized more. Their government will know about your every move, and can ban you at the drop of a hat, I would never have believed this could ever happen at the start of all this.
This is what is coming….not a cock-up then????
In my area, outpatient medical facilities require the Covid Pass or certifications. Four days ago, my family was turned away from a medical facility because we did not have the Covid Pass. The medical facility offered us the option to come back if we returned with a negative PCR test. In a separate incident, today we went to the dental office we’ve attended for years for an appointment for one of my children, but we were asked to leave when the staff discovered that I don’t have the Opportunity Pass.
WorkEmployers may require that employees have the Opportunity Pass. Each company and industry is setting its own standards regarding if and how to implement the mandate.
In the case of my wife and myself, we work in different industries and have different occupations. But both our employers have separately created the same policy. People without the Opportunity Pass won’t actually be fired, because that would create many legal issues, obligations, unemployment benefits, etc. Instead, employees are suspended without pay.
Wow! Are you in Lithuania?
Sorry, ignore me. I misinterpreted what I was reading.
It’s not cock up, Toby, it’s deliberate and planned. Johnson makes it look like a cock up, because his default blundering and bumbling style is an act. You underestimate him, he is a dangerous, cunning, lying narcissist.
Exactly!!!
Drinking the Koolaid anyone who thinks this isn’t planned.
Politicians are just useful idiots that work for the big money boys. They get the blame, that’s what they’re for.
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing you that he didn’t exist”
Hi Toby – I think this is your answer, sadly … we have a problem.
