On this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I discuss my recent bout of Covid, No-Vaxx Djokovic’s battle with the Australian immigration authorities, the Colston 4, the prospect of two new political parties (Jeremy Corbyn’s and Gina Miller’s), the unvaxxed doctor who confronted Sajid Javid and, in Culture Corner, Don’t Look Up and District 9.

Apropos of female lockdown sceptics apparently Trump’s second wife Marla Maples is an anti vaxx nutjob conspiracy theorist.
My immediately sceptical reaction to this, based on years of politicians’ pontificating/promises/proclamations, especially in the run up to elections of any kind, is that this probably means she’ll sign off on/approve lockdown measures if it becomes expedient/at the drop of a hat.
PS. And didn’t it begin to seem as if you could practically guarantee that if Johnson’s team said something the opposite would happen?
I’m hoping that the majority of the public are now more sceptical in general and have about as much confidence in politicians honouring their word and doing what’s best for the people as they would in believing any vaccine from Big Pharma, purported to be “safe and effective” going forward, would in fact be safe and effective. The trust should be gone in these abusive relationships and therefore beyond any reconciliation. Elections are a farcical pantomime, as we now know it to be an indisputable fact that whoever is elected is just yet another puppet, manipulated and controlled by those more powerful behind the scenes, and I shall personally never be getting another injection or getting my kid vaccinated with anything ever again.
I would not trust Big Pharma now to not start tinkering with regular vaccines that we all would normally get, whether run of the mill in the vaccine schedule or if you’re flying off to some exotic location. Just no. I’d rather stay safe and unadulterated, now I’ve seen the hideous emperor stark bollock naked it cannot be unseen. I’ll take my chances now that the final scales have fallen from my eyes. And I assumed that people knew politicians would sell their grannies if it meant they’d win an election but yet the naive masses still vote for the two-faced lying scumbags. Why??? Does living through the last 2.5 years not give any of these braindead muppets pause for thought and to err on the side of caution?
“Elections are a farcical pantomime, as we now know it to be an indisputable fact that whoever is elected is just yet another puppet, manipulated and controlled by those more powerful behind the scenes”
Well I certainly would dispute this ‘fact’, but in any case what are you proposing as a superior alternative to multi-party liberal democracy with elections etc –
The Russian, CCP or Iranian models of election free brutal tyranny?
False dichotomy
It was not a dichotomy (never mind a false one) as any other existing or hypothetical alternatives to the obviously despised multi-party democratic system would have answered the question.
I just put forward some sample existing non-democratic / totalitarian regimes to compare and contrast.
Another option is the individual.
Though I don’t support the political anarchism (a contradiction in terms) implied by your icon I agree.
I see liberal democracy as a stepping stone towards a world free from any form of coercive and ultimately violence based government, ie the nation-state system that currently exists. And to preempt a frequent misinterpretation of this position it most certainly is not the advocacy of any sort of world government, quite the opposite.
At a fundamental level all humans are fully autonomous and fully responsible spiritual beings and all forms of collectivisation (nations, races, classes etc) harmful illusions.
The point is they aren’t multi-party: they’re the Unified Party of Davos.
Well done Mogs.
If you agree with Mogwai’s complete trashing of multi-party liberal democracy I have to ask the same question – which form of government would you prefer;
Eg Russian, Chinese, North Korean or Iranian fascist tyranny?
I am not sure why you insist on putting forward the examples of Russia, China etc. Mogwai is simply observing that our system of government is corrupt and fails to truly look to the concerns and interests of the people of this country. Surely the answer is to reconstitute the system and put measures in place to prevent its corruption and ensure better representation of the interests of its people.
Please don’t respond with the question: ‘What measures do you suggest then?.
I am sure there are better qualified people who can make suggestions.
“I am not sure why you insist on putting forward the examples of Russia, China etc.”
Two main reasons – these brutal systems represent the only alternatives to multi-party democracy that actually exist, so to compare and contrast.
Plus to highlight the fact that these leading members of the self-proclaimed ‘New Eurasian World Order’ are both openly and through subterfuge seeking to undermine then overthrow democracy across the globe.
By massively overplaying it’s hand (eg through deliberately spreading both coronavirus and the concomitant lockdown model, clamping down in Hong Kong, invading Ukraine etc) this Imperial-fascist power block has thankfully succeeded in finally reawakening the love for freedom in the democratic west, one which will eventually spread to their own oppressed populations.
In other words their malign conquering intention is being inverted by a vastly superior ideology and system.
“Mogwai is simply observing that our system of government is corrupt and fails to truly look to the concerns and interests of the people of this country. Surely the answer is to reconstitute the system and put measures in place to prevent its corruption and ensure better representation of the interests of its people.”
Mogwai’s post was an unambiguous assault on the whole concept of multi-party democracy based on elections, coupled with contempt for those who took part:
“And I assumed that people knew politicians would sell their grannies if it meant they’d win an election but yet the naive masses still vote for the two-faced lying scumbags. Why??? Does living through the last 2.5 years not give any of these braindead muppets pause for thought and to err on the side of caution?”
Nothing whatsoever to do with reform, everything to do with abandonment.
An anti-democratic agenda which will fail.
..pretty sure that American ‘gain of function’ Experiments caused the Corona…and I agree they are an imperial fascist power….
I can only assume you have never been to China? Because your description isn’t one that anyone who has been would agree with, and I’m pretty sure that if 1.4 billion people were really unhappy we would know about it….…..but it’s the Western disease, ignorance and hubris combined…
“pretty sure that American ‘gain of function’ Experiments caused the Corona”
The only version of this theory I have come across is that some elements in the American public health administration defied US law and supplied covert extra funding for the gain of function research being carried out by the Chinese government in its Wuhan lab, and that this research resulted in both the creation of and (presumably accidental) release of COVID-19.
If that is what you are referring to I’m not sure that the CCP will be happy with your confession on their behalf (one which contradicts their own claimed natural origins of the disease).
And regardless of how the virus emerged the CCP certainly deliberately encouraged it’s spread across the world by allowing international travel to continue long after they were aware of its existence.
“I can only assume you have never been to China? because your description isn’t one that anyone who has been would agree with, and I’m pretty sure that if 1.4 billion people were really unhappy we would know about it”
How can there possibly be any knowledge of genuine levels of contentment in a system within which any general complaining or criticisms of the state can lead to at best downticks on your Social Credit score, at worst internment and execution?
Repeat, false dichotomy
The push for the flu vaccine is already starting.
I saw this ad from Lloyds pharmacy recently on Rsbook:
“50 or over? You’re eligible for a free flu jab to protect yourself and others from seasonal flu this winter. Book your appointment online in minutes.”
Note the farcical spiel ‘protect yourself and others’…
Now where have we seen that phrase before?
And note that they use the term “flu jab” in their advertising (other pharmacies often do the same thing every Autumn). It is not advertised as a “vaccine”.
‘Flu “vaccines?” Vaccines in general?
They can Foxtrot Oscar.
Well said. My policy now is to stay well away from the medical “profession.” Take care of your own health ….. they can’t be trusted.
Re-establish Cabinet government adap and stop daft decisions and ministers denying responsibility.
Someone needs to ask her opinion of nudge units.
Coupled with Ms Truss’s commitment to suspend the Green Levy this hugely significant statement represents the first hints of a sun beginning to rise after a prolonged period of ideological and practical pitch blackness.
On the environmentalist aspects, it would be a lovely piece of historical symmetry if a self-confessed Thatcher fan-girl was to set in motion the eventual rolling back of her heroine’s greatest error –
It was Margaret Thatcher who launched the whole catastrophic Climate Change agenda onto the world stage in 1988 (at least in part to provide a pseudo-ethical cover for her government’s wholesale destruction of British heavy industry, coal-mining etc).
For a change I agree with most of what you say, but the British coal mining industry was a zombie for decades before Thatcher decided to solve the problem of the whole industry dragging the country into oblivion.
Are you aware that, for example, as part of its WW1 reparations, Germany was obliged to provide free coal to France and Britain? You don’t need to be an economist to understand why that delivered a hammer blow to our own mines. The rot started before that, too.
Thatcher gets blamed for everything by the very people who don’t realise just what she did to bring this country back from the brink. And the coal is still there in the ground, FFS.
The Thatcher government deserves credit for seeing off the then hugely powerful Marxist anti-democratic threat in the UK, as well as assisting in the largely non-violent overthrow of the totalitarian Soviet system and block.
On the other hand it was a mistake to deliberately destroy whole swaythes of essential heavy industry, mining etc by effectively exporting them to emerging economies such as China.
If necessary core industries could have been temporarily supported by subsidies (look at what is currently being poured down the relatively useless Green drain) until the inevitable levelling up process meant that they would be cheaper to manufacture locally.
And as I indicated Margaret Thatcher’s launching of the pseudo-scientific Climate Change agenda set in chain a process which inevitably results in exactly the same sort of state-led tyranny as the communist ideology she rightly opposed (indeed environmentalism has always been both a Marxist and fascist subset, see eg Pol Pot’s Cambodia and the Nazi Party).
Re your “And the coal is still there in the ground, FFS.” –
In an act of extreme industrial vandalism all the pit heads have been destroyed, making it astronomically more expensive to relaunch the hugely beneficial task of reclaiming the hundreds if years worth of ‘black gold” which still lie under the UK’s soil.
It would still be well worth doing.
“It would still be well worth doing.”
Exactly. Thatcher knew that time would come.
The ‘fait a compli’ comment certainly comes across as very believable. Not hard to see.
Then again, I recall a year ago she parroted the line ‘we aren’t safe until we are all safe’ on Twitter to promote the jabs. Disgusting.
That said, even Baker’s twitter feed had pro-vax stuff on it only a few months ago (I recall: “still not to late to have your first jab”. Really?). Made me wonder whether some handler from central office managed his account.
She was asked if she thought lockdown was a bad idea and she can’t even answer that simple question in a concise and direct manner. Instead she does the predictable politician thing when they’re asked something they find uncomfortable and need to wriggle out of answering whereby they get all evasive, ramble and avoid answering the question at all but hope you don’t pursue them on the matter. Its a nonsense. So we’re meant to believe that now Johnson’s gone there’s all these sock puppets that always were against the restrictions? Cock and bull. I realise that this article is highly edited so unless somebody can go back in time and see anything on record from her actually opposing restrictions then I’ll stick to my opinion that she’s talking bollocks because she’s a two-bit liar.
Predictably I was going to post pretty much the same.
She will prove to be as much of a liar as Bozo.
“She was asked if she thought lockdown was a bad idea and she can’t even answer that simple question in a concise and direct manner. Instead she does the predictable politician thing when they’re asked something they find uncomfortable and need to wriggle out of answering whereby they get all evasive, ramble and avoid answering the question at all but hope you don’t pursue them on the matter.”
Really? –
“Asked if she would authorise another lockdown, she said “no, I wouldn’t”, and when asked if she thinks lockdown was a bad idea, she said: “I wasn’t really a core part of that Covid decision-making, and often frankly it was presented as a fait accompli, as the French would say, to the wider Cabinet. Every single time I was given the chance to express a view I was on the side of doing less.'”
Seems refreshingly direct, clear cut, non-rambling and non-evasive to me.
And should be viewed as an enormous beacon of hope for all those who genuinely wish to see a democratic way forward from the current ultra-health / Green tyranny that the UK and West in general has been labouring under for decades now.
On the other hand such progress would of course be anathema to the sort of western self-destruction that is being eagerly encouraged behind the scenes by the Putin regime, CCP etc.
Then we both clearly have differing understandings of what ‘rambling’ and ‘evasive’ mean. When asked if you think lockdowns were a bad idea most normal and sincere people would start with, “Yes lockdowns were a bad idea..” and then go on to explain why they think so. You honestly can’t see what she did there? That’s not an answer, its an evasive rambling so as to avoid answering in a direct and unambiguous way because she wants to get off the hook and move along quickly to the next question. What trust have people got in politicians now? What trust in the pharma industry going forward? Because from where I’m standing both have been damaged beyond repair and this doesn’t bode well for the future does it? How many parents will now be reticent about giving their kids their regular childhood vaccines in the future? Peoples’ bad experiences will shape their decision-making now, and the impact will be interesting to witness as time goes on.
Stating that she would never introduce lockdowns again is effectively to denounce their previous use, and Liz Truss is simply confirming to the doctrine of joint Cabinet responsibility and also showing admirable loyalty to colleagues (including Boris Johnson) by not directly criticising their previous decisions.
No more Lockdowns is a big deal. It follows that the ones we had were catastrophic blunders
I totally agree, this was a historically significant and world-leading statement in all sorts of ways;
All of them good.
It’s been a long time coming.
“I totally agree, this was a historically significant and world-leading statement.”
Blimey, you’re packing a lot in to this. Let me suggest you are way off the mark.
Truss is a WEFfer. That’s it. End of.
Yes..I can’t be the only one who remembers, no masks, then masks…no lockdown, then lockdown….no vaccinations for everyone (particularly children)…now we need to jab the foetus! 3 weeks to flatten the fricken curve..
Why would anyone believe a word that comes out of this village idiot’s mouth?
Hear, hear.

Well… everyone who is criticising her and writing her off as a WEF clone. She is the best candidate, and she’s the one we are going to get as Prime Minister, so get used to it. There are signs, not underestimating the challenge of getting anything positive done by the Civil Service, that she has enough time to turn the Tories fortunes around and keep the greater insanity of Labour away from No 10. She has my support.
Clinging to the idea that our salvation will arrive via the ballot box is naiive at best. And while people still cling to the false notion that we live in a representative democracy nothing will change.
If only some of the expected horrors are unleashed this Autumn / Winter then perhaps more people will wake up. Will that be too late though?
Our government has declared war on the people yet few will accept this.
I don’t think of this in terms of our salvation from the Globalist and Social Justice nonsense. Neither do I think that it is naive to think that Truss will not be as poor and destructive a leader for our country as Sunak or Starmer, God forbid, even though the direction of travel may not change by much.
As for the horrors, I am aware of what may happen, but I’ll have to deal with how they affect my bit of the world as and when. I can’t go through life worried about everything that might happen. Then again, as you say, we have no democratic way of ridding ourselves of these people. So what do you suggest? Last one to the barricade is a rotten egg..?
While it’s hard to trust any of these people, it’s at least significant that she now feels that this is the right answer to give, if only based on her perception of what will play best with her intended audience (many of whom initially supported lockdowns). The same applies to Sunak’s statement that he played a part in saving us from an Omicron lockdown.
Lol, downticked for what exactly?
Anybody that believes a single word that comes out of these lying, manipulative, filthy, festering pieces of sh*t have learnt nothing. You might as well go and tune back into the Beeb while you continue to polish these turds shoes.
There are only two names in the hat to take over from BJ. That’s the simple reality. Of the two, at least Truss offers some hope.
No she doesn’t. She offers the illusion of hope. I honestly cannot understand anyone that’s been through what we’ve been through – still going through actually – and believes that mainstream politics is the answer. To say it baffles me is an understatement. With all due respect, I think anyone that thinks that any of these people are the answer have not fully understood the magnitude of the malevolence and the complete and total destruction of democracy and freedom that we’re living under. I don’t expect people I’ve had by my side for 2+ years, people who courageously held an incredibly difficult line for that entire period, to fold so quickly. That’s just me of course.
With you 100%
‘Sending letters’, that’s how bad the situation really is.
2.5 years and were here, the mind boggles.
Totally agree. I used to cringe when people said that democracy is dead but now I have to concede that it is, and my optimism that things are going to change any time soon with it. If democracy existed Macron and Turdeau would not still be in power ( although Le Penn does give an inkling of hope ), just to give 2 examples. Over here, Rutte would not be basking in his smugness at being the longest serving Dutch PM. Because when uncle Schwab has your back you’re untouchable. People are as thick and gullible concerning politicians as they are regarding novel warp-speed pseudo-vaccines that nobody actually needs. And now I really have got zero tolerance for thickos who’s heads are so deep in the sand that I could use their arse to park my bike!
I’d vote for anyone who has had the integrity and courage to speak up about their opposition to restrictions these last 2+ years but, alas, you can count these figures on one hand. Its no good crawling out of the woodwork now. That just demonstrates cowardice and game-playing. In my dreams we’d go next-level Sri Lanka if they continue to push their agendas and ruin our lives further but that’s never going to happen over here.
Yes, it’s the people who need to regain the power – through whatever means. We’ve become so comfortable and naïve in the West, particularly the UK, we let ourselves be beaten for over two years then, when a different face of the same tormentors appear, we say “he/she might beat me less”. I make no apologies for saying that I’m an eye for an eye person, and I’m owed some f*n eyes.
Exactly. If your partner cheated on you but you forgave them and gave them a second chance, then they cheat on you again…would you just keep forgiving them and giving them chance after chance indefinitely? Because you genuinely believe them every time when they say they’re sorry and will never betray you again? All because your confidence has been so eroded that you are now desensitized to the mistreatment and you feel you don’t deserve anyone better or you’re too afraid to be on your own? Same analogy applies to being stuck in an abusive relationship.
I’d be getting the hell out of Dodge after the first betrayal personally, but many choose to stay living in such unhealthy and damaging circumstances. I’m a “once bitten twice shy” kinda gal though.
100%.
I made no comment on how good or bad she would be. I simply observed that there are only two choices for next PM and she appears to be the least worst.
Its time people stopped voting for the least worst – stop voting – it only encourages them.
Free Lemming, people get tired. It’s all part of the scam. Two and a half years, people are tired and they see hope from the smallest glimmer, even when we know it’s their imagination.
You and I have come to terms with the hopeless emptiness, that the light comes only from one’s self. And we know that awakening is hugely liberating! Any partnership with a politician – moral, practical, spiritual – is to be avoided like the plague; darkness, despondency and disappointment lie on that path.
Cheers!
Ain’t that the brutal truth.
Very well put
Eloquently summarised FL.
I’m sticking with ‘the Coast Guy’…it’s the same fuc***g train, going in the same direction..it’s just the driver that’s changing….
It’s just going to be more of the same old shite…
Get your own house in order, do the best you can for yourself, family and friends and hold on…it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Finally, somebody asked a pertinent question!
As if Truss would call the shots anyway.
The ONLY way to guarantee lockdowns never occur again is by Not Complying.
The fact that Toby thinks sending a letter and getting a ‘No’ response actually means anything sums up exactly how we got into this shit in the first place. The masses of sheep will do whatever they’re told, I work with enough to know.
Phew thank goodness for that, I can now rest assured.
Politician speak with forked tongue.
No “promise” means anything.
The frequently furious reactions to Liz Truss’s courageous and potentially epoch-changing statement on this thread have revealed the extent to which lockdowns etc have not been genuinely opposed by many posters but rather exploited for anti-democratic purposes.
And I am delighted that this potential fundamental policy reorientation in a freedom-based direction is causing such a panic within the pro-tyranny movement.
I prefer to judge her on what she’s said and done over the last 2 and a half years rather than what she says in an attempt to persuade Conservative party members to vote for her rather than the foreign midget.
Life is fundamentally about the present and future rather than past –
Other than learning from it, as Liz Truss clearly has done.
Spot on.
And immediately she becomes PM she will announce :-
An immediate end to all and any mandates/nudges regarding mRNA jabs,
Prosecution of those who caused the elderly to be returned to care homes in order to save the NHS,
Laws ordering MSM to allow independent experts re virology, vaccinology, immunology, epidemiology etc. to give their views on what has happened and why,
An immediate investigation into the apparent excess deaths following the jabs,
If anything like that happens I will re-convert to believing democracy has any use at all in the era of control via the MSM and the RPTB.
“Liz Truss’s courageous and potentially epoch-changing statement”
Give it a rest. This really is extracting the urine.
“Liz Truss’s courageous and potentially epoch-changing statement”
“Give it a rest. This really is extracting the urine.”
Lis Truss is currently the Foreign Secretary and almost certain to be the next PM of what is still one of the world’s major powers.
She has just become the first and only major world political figure to unambiguously renounce what was one of the most significant and catastrophic projects in history.
An economy and morale destroying one which only suited the agendas of anti-democratic forces such as the CCP and Russia.
My statement was not strong enough.
Bozo ruled out lockdowns at first too.
I posted this yesterday and I know many have read it, for which, much thanks. I believe it is entirely relevant to this thread, so here it is again.
“From the off, and I haven’t even bothered to ‘read in full’ yet, this is seriously flawed. The starting point “if there were another serious pandemic” gives it away. We have not lived through a pandemic, we have not even lived through an epidemic, but the appeal to these WEF shysters is based on the given that we have.
Next, who will define pandemic? Our government using the advice and knowledge of our own science people or garbage such as Whitty, Valance and van Tam, or God forbid the Davos Deviants? Furthermore, we haven’t had a pandemic for over 100 years so why should we be even thinking about pandemics?
Submitting any letter with an acceptance that we HAVE lived through a pandemic simply supports all the lies and totalitarian BS of the last two and half years. And the response will be, assuming one materialises:
‘We rule nothing out or in, the health of our people, doing what’s best, protect our democracy (?) save us from farting in a bottle, save rNHS, save the planet, god save the King bullshit …’ blah, blah, blah.
So the idea of submitting such a letter to these traitorous WEFfers is absolutely bloody pointless.
I find this suggestion deeply depressing and it indicates a failure to understand the precariousness of the national situation.
Neither Sunak or Truss are worth giving the time of day.”
I will add one of my catchphrases:
Our salvation is not going to arrive via the ballot box.
Currently there’s no majority public appetite for restrictive measures. I’m sure yougov polls and similar are showing this.
Beautiful, warm, socializing weather – who wants that to be curtailed? Who wants to contemplate and support a bleak November locked in our homes.
My thoughts on Liz is that she’s just saying what “we want to hear”, and Rishi will say the same.
Given the high volume of lies the “government” has perpetrated throughout the past few years, do you *really* trust her to keep her word? Really? If you do, then good on you, but – respectfully – I don’t share your faith.
I tend to agree. What’s significant is the shift in public mood. Long may it continue. Shame it’s not seismic enough to recognise how badly people have been fooled and what rubbish the mass vaxxing is.
Thank you to whoever it was that put the question to Sunak and Truss. We all have the power to make some difference no matter how big or small.
