I’ll be discussing the Lockdown Files with Isabel Oakeshott live on stage at the Emmanuel Centre on June 10th. Tickets have just gone on sale – £25 for General Admission, £75 for a VIP Drinks Ticket (inc General Admission) and £175 for a VIP Dinner ticket (inc General Admission). The doors open at 7pm (as does the bar) and the show will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
This promises to be a memorable evening. In addition to discussing Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp messages that Isabel handed to the Telegraph and which became the basis of the paper’s Lockdown Files, we’ll also be staging a series of hilarious readings from the messages with Laurence Fox playing Matt Hancock and Tim Hudson as Boris. The evening will close with an audience Q&A.
General Admission is priced very reasonably at £25 – where else can you see a two-hour show in Central London for £25? – and it will cost £75 for a VIP Drinks Ticket, which will mean joining Isabel and me at an exclusive drinks party at UnHerd’s Westminster clubhouse beforehand, and £175 for a VIP Dinner Ticket, whereby you’ll join Isabel and me, as well as Laurence Fox and Tim Hudson, for a three-course dinner (with wine) at UnHerd’s restaurant after the show. The price of both the Drinks Ticket and the Dinner Ticket includes General Admission.
You can buy tickets to the Lockdown Files Live on EventBrite here. If you’re interested in joining us for drinks or dinner, I’d advise you to buy your tickets soon. The VIP tickets to the Weekly Sceptic Live with Nick Dixon and me, also at the Emmanuel Centre, have already sold out (although General Admission tickets to that event, also priced at £25, are still available and can be purchased here).

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Quelle surprise!
But, of course, this is the lesser problem. This rampant child abuse has created massive problems in terms of the deprivation of social contact and induction of mental illness.
A friend’s son is repeating his second year of a computer science degree because he couldn’t cope with the on-line aspects (and he is a computer specialist).
On line teaching doesn’t suit everyone. I agree there is too much computer in our lives. However, I do think the classroom has been a hotbed of group think too, which is highly dangerous, as we have seen.
Interestingly my four year old grandsons phoneticswent up 3 levels in the eight weeks his mum and I were homeschooling him. We’re thinking of making it permanent
I totally agree. My granddaughter was really struggling with understanding numbers. An hour a day for a couple of weeks and she is now flying. She is also asking many questions about everyday situations that require number skills. My daughter has already talked to other mums locally a out home schooling.
Lock ’em up.
Politicians, headmasters et.al.
Indulging in generalized fantasy doesn’t actually help credibility.
All part of the plan to make Western economies non-competitive going forward.
“China’s Belt and Road Initiative, in seeking to connect China to Central Asia, and eventually to Europe, will have the practical significance of shifting the world centre of gravity from the Atlantic (ie the USA and he might mean the UK as well) to the Pacific (ie China)
…….and will involve the cultures of Eurasia, each of who will have to decide what relationship to this region they will seek, and so will the United States. This is why many of us urged the United States to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank when it was proposed by China”
Henry Kissinger, Banking Conference, China, 2017
So the final stages of power shifting to China are underway. Russia is part of this. Australia and NZ are in the region too, hence all the ultra draconian programming there, to get people accustomed to the new world which will be fronted by a dominant Communist China but behind the scenes the existing power network will maintain its position. Israel is also a player in this via its dominant role in the tech sector and ‘smart cities’ agenda and its close relationship with Russia and China. Who knows which direction the UK will go in but they obviously have plans for the UK. It looks like the UK’s role will be as some kind of test-bed for the latest gadgets and methods of tyranny.
There is certainly an argument to be made that China, with globalist help, has already fought and won World War 3.
Depends what you mean by learning. Children will have learned a hell of a lot by default from this past year, not least the stupidity of mankind, the frailty of politics, of science and of society in general. That’s some footing upon which to build their futures. Forewarned is forearmed!
Let’s hope they have learned not to trust institutions too. We need a complete dusting down of the woke, group think, revolving door of upper middle class badly educated globalist bag carriers.
What do the government or teaching profession call learning? Indoctrination against their future??
In my small experience of families I live close too, the teenagers actually say hello in the morning instead of grunting, they seem lost but not angry too.
I think many smaller children have enjoyed the reconnection with family life and small pleasures like gardening, walking and even cooking. I do not count cycling in this as I notice in my very mixed community only the wealthier have cycles. The rest have legs with feet on the end.
Education is reading, writing, politeness, manners, respecting those around you, understanding the environment you live in and most of all critical thinking. All of which is not learned at school but by being involved with family and community.
