In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I talk about who’s to blame for the crisis in Ukraine, why they can’t bring themselves to spell Kiev K-Y-I-V, whether in Boris’s case it would be better to cling to nurse for fear of something worse, the late-to-the-party lockdown sceptics, my falling off the wagon during Dry January and, in Culture Corner, The Undoing, The Brothers Karamazov and Martin Chuzzlewit.

Full Video Discussion of Ron Johnson Panel, COVID-19 A Different Opinion
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/01/24/full-video-discussion-of-ron-johnson-panel-covid-19-a-different-opinion/
I’m afraid a lifetime of respect for Delingpole went up in smoke when he tweeted a video of a nutter squatting in a perfectly healthy crop of field beans just before harvest; they were, as expected at that time of year, dry, leafless and black; perfect for the combine harvester. Unfortunately, it was tweeted as evidence of large-scale and deliberate government disruption of the food supply. “Why are they doing this?” was the anguished message.
And you then start to think; if he’s tweeting stuff that’s nonsense on a topic that I know about, why should all the other stuff be different?
A lifetime of respect gone for one tweet about a geezer being a nuisance in a field. Bit harsh. If youre a farmer, please go organic if you are not already. Its time to say goodbye to the toxic chemicals being poured on the food and get rid of the seedless modified Godless corporate plants being grown. This is not progress.
I’m afraid a lifetime of respect for Farmer Charlie went up in smoke from that one comment.
You start to think: if he’s commenting stuff that’s nonsense on a topic that I know about, why should all his other stuff be different?
But if you ‘know about’ the agronomy of field beans, you’d know that JD’s tweet was nonsense!
Disrespecting someone for one nonsense tweet is the kind of bullshit the progressives get up to. Back on your tractor, Charlie.
Er, no thanks! https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/environment/organic-farming-not-always-so-environmentally-friendly/
Modern farming is a disgrace and its getting worse. The exponential rise in glyphosate use being a clear example of this. Farmers have sold their souls to the Devil, just like every other Tom Dick and Harry in this rotten world. Were living in the results of that now.
I love the irony of being be told to go organic by someone who’s using a computer.
Yeah, OK Farmer Charlie, whatever you say.
as if use of a computer negates organic farming practices LOL
Why is this ironic?
Massive Study of 145 Countries Finds Huge Increase in Death Following Vaccinations
https://www.dailyveracity.com/2022/01/10/massive-study-of-145-countries-finds-huge-increase-in-death-following-vaccinations/
Most important question of the day – will Boris resign?
For me, a more important question is when is the genocide going to be brought to an end and how are those responsible for it going to be brought to book
yes that too. Every day!
Where is this genocide?
Could be a rumour spread by those on 40 Benson & Hedges a day!
No answers??
Only after tying up the ‘pandemic’ and claiming victory.
As if his replacement wouldn’t be a fully controlled minion of the parasite class LOL
Be careful what you wish for!
On the issue of the lockdown backtrackers, it’s bloody obvious.
High profile media people like Jeremy Vine and Piers Morgan are constantly sniffing out which way the herd is going so they can position themselves at the front and appear to be leading opinion.
A bit like the cool kids in school who would jump on new fads and fashion trends as quickly as possible to continue being “cool” and rush to mock whatever had gone out of style.
In fact, the social dynamics of a school can be used to describe a lot of the behaviour of society at large.
How is the dictatorship going to get out of the death jab hole it has dug for itself?
The dictators will have known for some time now that the ‘vaccines’ are not safe
They could announce that they no longer consider the ‘vaccines’ safe and are withdrawing them, but I can’t see them doing that
An option would be to allow the legislation that permits the ‘vaccines’ use to expire. This latter course of action would bring about the end of covid ‘vaccination’ and allow it to be dressed up as giving us our freedom back.
In this context the illogical changes to the travel rules announced yesterday make perfect sense. The jabbed are going to be pretty miffed when March arrives and all rules are dropped for the unjabbed
The jabbed are therefore getting a two month bonus for sacrificing their health
they could just say its not an emergency anymore.
When is the sunset clause due to kick in?
I moved house Feb 6th 2020 and was locked down promptly after so it has got to be coming, if I recall correctly it was 2 years?
I was pleading with a friend that this wasn’t serious and would be over by June 20, one of the few things I’ve been wrong about in 2 years of this madness, well, half wrong.
They will say and do nothing; failing that, they can always hold an ‘enquiry’ to find they did the best they could – and the vaccines were the ‘best’ there was at the time.
You must be confused.
Vaccines are actually very good. Excellent evidence available.
You’re confused, Lieutenant. The Colonel told ME to be good cop this morning.
Which vaccines? Good at what?
Fucking your heart up
I think the answer is he isn’t going to even try. It may seem superficially that the coronavirus craziness is winding down, but it’s doing so only superficially.
The cornerstone of the whole thing, the jabs and vax passports, not only remains intact, but is being reinforced all the time.
Johnson will stick to the herd on this one – and by herd, I mean the herd of WEF regional managers – the heads of government of countries around the world.
In this respect it is very difficult for a country to act alone. Even if you can enter and leave the UK without any restrictions, it’s little use if every other country doesn’t do the same.
You (always) seem to be on the right track, Stewart. Able to identify the problem without all of the silly superfluous stuff.
They’ll be treading water until the new Pfizer omnicron product is ready in March for another project fear sales pitch
All rules for the ‘unjabbed’ are not going to be dropped though, are they?
As for ‘the genocide’, we know many people who have had their 3rd ‘boosters’ now and they are still alive. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think this is hyped-up, all this about ‘genocide’.
That’s on par with all the nonsense about lawyers and trials coming for those running the show.
Not to mention the ‘Alpha Men Assemble’ clowns.
But the control, to me, is very real. It is very much ‘get vaccinated and get your valid Vaxx Pass’ or to be punished if you don’t co-operate.
If I was triple jabbed I wouldn’t dare run for a bus at this point!
They are going to have to fit heart rate monitors to footballers, if it goes above 130bpm you get a yellow card, 15 mins in the sin bin, sponsored by Pfizer.
It all seems to be about footballers dropping down from heart attacks – or other sports people – yet I haven’t seen anyone dropping down dead in our local shops/supermarkets – no dead bodies on the streets around here.
Yes, I’ve noticed the posts on here about this one and that one collapsing, but I generally prefer to believe in what I see for myself, and I haven’t seen anyone keeling over. Even if they did, what proof is there that it was ‘the jabs wot dun it’?
This doesn’t mean I don’t disapprove of the ‘Covid vaccines’ – I do indeed feel it is all a scam. But there are some theories and assumptions that are, frankly, in the realms of ‘nutters’, and wander off into the realms of fantasy and don’t help to deal with the very real problems we are faced with.
“Do you know what genocide means?” – this is where we come out with another theory about it being one in a hundred over 50 years or something – it’s always ‘something in the future going to happen’ or something that can’t be proved one way or another.
A bit like ‘the lawyers are coming – yes, they really are – just you wait – wait a bit longer – another few months/years….’
I’ve not seen it with my own eyes, so it doesn’t exist is a logical falicy.
I’m at another funeral tomorrow, my Aunt died a month after the booster, she’d been on pathway for 2 weeks after she went downhill fast within hours of the jab. This is the 5th death linked to vaccines in our family and circle of acquaintances, non of whom were footballers, youngest was 37.
If I add in my clients experiences, whose dogs I look after while they attended funerals, add another 7 funerals in 18 months, all under 50, all died unexpectedly. vax status unknown as it’s not really polite to ask.
I have another client whose daughter, 47, is in a coma after a siezure 6 days after the booster, his son 49, died ~6 months ago, a week after the second moderna jab.
Open your eyes https://brandnewtube.com/search?keyword=young+hearts
There are many factors that cause death – or ‘early death’. I see schoolkids drinking ‘energy drinks’ for breakfast …. I’ve seen what people load their shopping trolleys up with in the supermarkets. Healthy eating & drinking, not smoking tobacco products, and not excessively drinking alcohol might help.
Why is it ‘impolite’ to ask vaxx status these days, with it being the Number One subject? You just can’t go around assuming people died of the ‘Covid vaccines’ when you don’t even know if they’ve had them or not, nor how many, or when, or any other factors about their health and lifestyle.
We are all being controlled by these ‘Covid vaccines’ one way or another – I don’t find it impolite to ask people, when their choice is affecting me.
I’ve looked at brandnewtube – it was sort of interesting at first, but then I decided 99% of the videos slapped up are garbage. Rex Colt I found to be good, but now repetetive, same with Vernon Coleman – agree with his outlook but then again he has nothing new to offer.
All the religious ‘666 Mark of the Beast’ videos are laughable.
I am a ‘seeing for myself is believing’ sort of person, and use my own experience and judgement to try and make sense of things. Fact is, although I despise these ‘vaccines’ (as I believe they are part of a scam), we just don’t know of anyone, in our own circle, who has had 3 jabs and has died or become injured, possibly as a result of them.
Do you know what genocide means?
In addition to learning key phrases from your peers, have a go at finding out what they mean.
According to the handlers of the ICTY show trial (where the prosecution allowed to use 3rd party anecdotal evidence that the defense were not allowed to challenge), genocide means possibly, maybe, somehow being responsible for the deaths of ~30 people.
I wouldn’t crow too soon – there is a purpose to these jabs and its nothing to do with keeping you healthy.
This I agree with. Best I can come up with is that it’s a circus for control, and a money-making scam.
Anyone noticed that on this site there’s never a discussion of where these ‘vaccines’ actually come from? Who makes them? Where? etc.
There’s not even been published a list of the people administering them. Where is the list of schools that have been issued with ‘liability notices’, for example?
I think we need more facts and less airy-fairy speculation.
I had not seen it with my own eyes (on Sky in the pub actually) I would not know it had occurred
Buried deep in the last paragraph of the BBC’s match report
‘The extensive stoppage time was caused by an eight-minute period of treatment for a Blackburn supporter near the dugouts, midway through the second half, with the individual conscious as medical staff led them away on a stretcher.’
More evidence if any were needed of the censorship
I know you consider this to be evidence, but………..
Have you aver wondered what the probability of a medical incident in a football crowd is?
Have a go, the process will be good for you.
Jab death denier from the 77th
Crowd deaths are too hard to quantify, footballers however, not so much
https://www.nutritruth.org/single-post/investigation-finds-278-increase-in-worldwide-heart-attack-deaths-among-soccer-players-in-2021-so-f
It happens at least once a week at the moment at some ground around the country. In thirty years of more of watching football I couldn’t recall more than a couple of occasions that happened.
Seems obvious why to me
Pandemic of the Unvaccinated Myth Decimated

Apparently!
That’s put me off my lunch.
I’m with James, tar and feather the likes of Morgan.
Facts were out there, if you’re in the media you have a responsibility, yet they push the government line for a payoff, they deserve to be called out.
No comments here on Ukraine?
How soon people forget the actions of Secretary of State Clinton and her sidekick Victoria ‘fuck Europe’ Nuland in the 2014 coup that kicked the whole charade off.
Until then things were no worse in Ukraine than in any other of the many poorly governed countries around the world, but….. for Clinton et al. Ukraine was different because it was bordering Russia (see also Kazakhstan 2022) and destabilising by coup and installing a USA favouring puppet government was too much of an opportunity to piss off Putin to pass up.
If the USA was interested in installing functioning democracies in countries destabilised by the Arab Spring, what happened in Egypt?
Anyway, there was a settlement to the ‘civil war’ started by Nuland, and it was signed against her wishes by the Ukraine government, it is called the Minsk Agreement, but thanks to the interfering Americans it has never been implemented – just like the Northern Ireland Protocol signed and ignored by Boris and Frostie the ‘No Man’ just to achieve Brexit (not).
Toby Young’s simplistically gullible comments about Ukraine and NATO put me in mind of Peter Hitchens’ occasional comment about actual knowledge being a disadvantage in these situations.
Young’s nonsense about “the only way we are provoking Putin is by being weak” displays such complete ignorance of the actual situation, such a gullible regurgitation of the official truth propaganda line, that he might as well be a covid panicker in March 2020 telling us that “herd immunity is granny killing because covid is exponential and will kill millions if we don’t lock down immediately”.
NATO was designed for the Cold War situation and served well for that. It became a dangerously redundant big government organisation the day the Soviet Union disappeared. Since then it has displayed the worst features of such organisations: a bunch of overfunded bureaucrats looking for a role, and a dangerous weapon lying around waiting to be picked up and exploited by warmongers and other such opportunists.
It should have been shut down in 1991.
There’s zero chance of Young being willing even to think honestly about this topic, imo, because he just sees it as a team issue, where the good guys, the patriots, back “Defence” and “stand up to aggression” (while gullibly swallowing the bullies’ line that their victims are the aggressors for fighting back), and the appeasing weaklings are on the other side. There’s also a reluctance for those of us who backed NATO in the Cold War to accept that things changed when the Cold War ended and what was a good thing during the Cold War is not necessarily still a good thing.
The facts changed, but many simply did not change their opinions.
He is also hugely vulnerable to the false parallel with 1930s Germany that serves warmongers so well that it has been used in pretty much every bout of warmongering ever since – in recent years Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine have all been misportrayed as instances where opponents of confrontation and war are the same as 1930s appeasers, because the latest demon on the other side is the same as Hitler.
There’s little hope for Young on this topic I believe.
Though I would disagree with Delingpole on one point – where he asserts confidently that the Russians will not invade.
I understand the argument that they won’t: though they could certainly defeat the Ukraine military and occupy as much of the country as they wish relatively easily, the costs – especially diplomatic and economic – would be significant, inevitable combat deaths and injuries would be unpopular at home, and the exit is unclear.
However, it’s perfectly possible the Russians’ calculations are different from ours, both as regards the costs of not dealing with the anti-Russian regime in the Ukraine and as regards their own capabilities and the long term outcome of an invasion.
The US sphere clearly regards any explicit compromise and neutralisation of the Ukraine as out of the question. That refusal to compromise might leave invasion as the only option short of effective surrender, for the Russians, in their view.
Ukraine alone is no strategic military threat to Russia. The real strategic threats are the US first strike nuke-capable Aegis Ashore systems in Poland and Romania. The missiles have an ~12 minute flight time to Moscow. If Ukraine enters NATO, the similar systems there will be ~5 minute flight time. This development followed on from the unilateral withdrawal by the US from the ABM Treaty in 2002. The rationale put forward by the US was they were aimed at defending the US from non-existent Iranian ICBMS.
The last time this happened was in the 1960’s when the Soviets placed nuke-armed missiles in Cuba in response to the US nuke-armed missiles in Turkey. Kennedy and Kruschev were able to defuse the issue through indirect communications. Kruschev allowed Kennedy to claim the Soviets had blinked to help him with domestic politics.
Note that in all of this, Russia is only dealing with the US as they call the shots. The EU, NATO and the UK are just barking lapdogs. The Russians also regard the US as non-negotiation-capable – as in any agreement with them isn’t worth the paper it is written on. They will renege whenever it is convenient, especially if the deal was made under an opposing president.

Quite a few comments dropped here – couple of hours worth.
Moderator here: Thanks for the notification, we are aware of a tech issue and are working on it
Looks like they’re back.
“Opening sound this week is Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on Ukraine.
“The Kremlin haven’t learnt the lessons of history. They dream of recreating the Soviet Union, or a kind of Greater Russia, carving up territory based on ethnicity and language. They claim they want stability, while they work to threaten and destabilise others. We know what lies down that path, and the terrible toll in lives lost and human suffering it brings.””
The establishment false narrative fully on display from Liz Truss, demonstrating that she is in full compliance.
All the usual falsehoods: blaming the targets of aggression for resisting, equating resistance to the US sphere’s internationalist New Order with old fashioned racism, fabricating a supposed motivation for Russian actions that are far more easily explained without it. All in order to paint the usual false picture of a fantasy 1930s situation, in which the target du jour is basically Hitler and opposition to confrontation and war is 1930s appeasement. We saw it over Serbia, over Iraq, over Libya and over Syria – if you do not believe the confrontation and war currently desired by the establishment is the necessary “solution”, then you are an “apologist”, a de facto supporter of the modern equivalent of Hitler.
And Young here confirms that he is as fully on board with all those lies as the most fanatical of bedwetters in March 2020 earnestly declaring that covid is the greatest plague in modern history, that herd immunity is uncaring eugenics putting money ahead of lives, and millions will die if we don’t lock down hard and fast.
I have just come across an article about the situation in New Zealand, and specifically the relationship between Covid-19 ‘vaccines’ and all cause mortality for the 60+ cohort.
The author points out that NZ is a perfect test case as physical isolation and stringent entry/exit procedures have resulted in a very low incidence of covid-19. Thus covid-19 itself is effectively removed as a confounding factor.
An FOI query has revealed a regulatory agency letter (dated 15 Dec 2021) has revealed they have known about the risk of such (myocarditis and pericarditis) cardiac illness for over a year, and accept the significant issue of under-reporting. They suposedly undertook measures to improve detection and reporting.
The letter also indicates – my comments in [].
i) the NZ system vaccinators had a conversation with consumers [not patients!] to explain common side effects and this conversation should include cardiac issues as part of the consent conversation. [Does this happen in the UK?]
ii) it notes that symptoms usually occur within a few days of jabbing, and early response/treatment is crucial [is this why the UK waits 14 days to assign ‘vaccinated’ status?]
iii) the incidence of cardic issues is stated to be around 3 in 100,000 but with acknowledged [unknown, significant?] under-reporting.
iv) A leaked Pfizer document dated April 30th 2021 also included including respiratory illness, internal bleeding, kidney and liver disease,
neurological disease, thrombotic events including stroke, immune suppression and many more. [Has anyomne seen this document?]
The article includes this graph showing the temporal pattern of covid-19 vaccination and deaths for the 60+ cohort. There is no clearly observable time shift between the peaks which would be consistent with a rapid onset of symptoms [post-vax cardiac disease does seem to be rapidly fatal, seen clearly in the deaths of heatlhy young sportspersons]. Actual epidemiologists may be able to confirm the validity or otherwise of the conclusions.
Worth a read in full (as they say).
Seems to be a discussion about whether or not this situation is a result of stupidity, malfeasance or conspiracy. This is a redundant argument in my view when you consider that the same forces have infiltrated and poisoned every institution that we once believed in. You could say that if it has taken the events of the last two years to bring this to your attention then you weren’t really paying attention for the previous four decades.
I’ve lived all over and in some ways the black country people were the best I ever met. Queen Victoria closed the shutters on her railway carriage when she entered the black country and the people didn’t forget that. When she toured the country they did the same thing with their curtains.For me James is a yam yam and long may it continue. We will go through all sorts of schisms and disasters but the good people of Dudley won’t be perturbed because they have been living it for a hundred years,
We need to revitalise the black country and turn it into a centre of real resistance. Not just resistance but redemptive change and a sense of fellowship between people. We have to start there is no pathway to anything better via the corporate structure This is the real issue – do we have the vitality to carry things forward? My impression garnered from speaking to younger people is that I think we still have that spirit.
We have to go through the horror to come in order to get to the beauty to come. I don’t really care about previous shite we are moving into a time of concern. Anyway you are both glorious guys.
So then why the constant undercurrent of homosexuality? As if you relationship is about to spill over into something else. Frankly if I saw both of you fucking each other it wouldn’t matter. It matters nothing to me if you suck cock. All I ask for is the truth.
That’s it fuck each other while Rome burns.
No contrary beliefs about the establishment’s anti-russia policy I see.
It’s pretty blatant, to stop this Ukraine crisis getting of control, just de-escalate by giving Russia some assurance NATO & US missiles will never be placed in Ukraine territory & stop agitating Russia with provocative military exercises, simples.
And for the idiots in 77th, no I don’t give a toss about Putin, I’m just anti-war.
Why they can’t bring themselves to spell Kiev K-Y-I-V?
Perhaps they are just chicken.
Don’t know why they in particular won’t, but the correct reason to refuse to accept such nonsense is the reason Peter Hitchens sticks to Peking rather than Beijing, and the reason I won’t wear a mask or take the “vaccine” – refusal to be manipulated.
