The Lockdown Files Live

by Toby Young
20 April 2023 7:00 PM

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).

Racism pure and simple!

I wonder if this is racism too. It does make you wonder. The culprits are usually not white and the victims white. The name of the perp doesn’t sound very British to me. And how in the world can somebody be charged with GBH when they outright killed somebody?? This poor guy probably asked to see this psycho’s ticket then got stabbed for his trouble, if it’s anything like elsewhere in Europe.
Yet another reason why the Khant’s knighthood is just rubbing salt in the wounds of the British public who actually give a sh*t about their country;

”An Elizabeth line worker who died after being attacked at an east London station was “the most loving person”, his family has said.
Jorge Ortega, 61, was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after British Transport Police (BTP) officers were called to Ilford station at about 20:50 GMT on Wednesday to reports of a serious assault. He died on Friday.
In a family tribute Mr Ortega was described as “the kindest soul you could have the pleasure of meeting”.
Ayodele Jamgbadi, 28, of Kingston Road, Ilford, was charged with grievous bodily harm in connection with the incident.

DCI Paul Attwell said specialist family liaison officers were supporting the victim’s family.
He said: “This was a horrific and tragic incident which has resulted in a man losing his life.
“I would like to reassure the public that this is an isolated incident.”
Mr Jamgbadi appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday and was remanded in custody.
He has also been charged with affray and possession of a prohibited offensive weapon in a private place.”

Yet we see nationality of criminals’ statistics not being available. “Community Relations” trumps the public’s right to know who is committing crime.

I thought it was illegal to discriminate against candidates for any position on the basis of their ethnicity?

It’s also the fact that there are 38,000 people who are Muslim on the MI5 terror watch list, 80% of open cases are Islamic, yet the majority of referrals to Prevent are of the phantom menace ‘far-right’ nature. So these above security agencies are discriminating against native, white patriots and favouring the very people who make up the vast majority of terrorists on their lists. Is it me or does that seem awfully topsy turvy to you and probably not the smartest thing when you’re in counter-terrorism?

Read it, thanks. Totally agree. 👍It just always strikes me as weird and unnatural why the globalists and puppeticians would wish to do this to themselves and their offspring. It’s like masochism and sadism rolled into one. Don’t they even care about the future of their kids/grandkids? 😧 Seriously psychopathic. But then i do think traits of psychopathy are what gets these people into their leadership positions in the first place. And the vast majority just so happen to be male, which does tend to debunk the misogynists’ delusional viewpoint, inconveniently for them.😏

Watching “Kleo” the other night. Funny, my dad worked for the CIA, and the joke about black people working at the CIA being sp__ks seemed to resonate with with him. The black folks in 1980’s West Germany kind stick out like a sore thumb.I all for equal opportunity in the spy game, just have your ducks in a row.

Anti-whitism from the decadent British Establishment. Who’d have thought! The collapse can’t be far off now.

I suspect when you say ”anti-whitism” you’re really referring to the woketards’ favourite oxymoronic term of ”positive discrimination”. It sounds so much fancier than plain old ‘racism’. 😉

Gosh, what a perfect opportunity for Al-Queda to insert some of its operatives, like the ones now on the outskirts of Damascus, busy toppling a statue of President Assad’s father, whom he helped drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Syria.

Rebel forces ‘reach Damascus suburbs’ as protesters topple statue on outskirts

Another shocking thing for me is this:

Al-Qaeda-linked ‘rebels’ in Syria say they ‘love Israel’. USA gave them billions in weapons & support – Geopolitical Economy Report

Does that mean that Israel is about to take over Syria by proxy, in revenge for being defeated by Assyrians a couple of thousand years ago?

And since the Southport Stabber was found with an Al-Queda manual for making ricin, and now-deleted news reports said Al-Queda had actually claimed him as one of their “operatives”, what does that mean for our relationship with Israel? It’s all such a tangled web that I feel sorry for the security services trying to figure it all out.

“The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”

I’ve just been reading that the Israelis are keen to fulfil the End Times prophecies of Isaiah 17:1, destroying Damascus in order to allow Israelites to rule humanity on earth. Or something…

MI6 has embraced the woke mind virus and is fully onboard with identity politics, but I think most of us knew that already. At least many of these young men arriving on small boats will be able to apply once Labour has rushed their asylum application through and legalized them as citizens, so that’ll make up nicely for the lack of native patriots, I guess;

”Recently I got an ad to apply for MI6, which boasted it’s one of Stonewall’s Top Global Employers.

These groups are sowing discord in the West, which risks our security. So how can we have MI6 supporting them?”

I think this is a mistake. I think all racial groups have their strengths but you cannot show me in the history of humanity more developed minds than the Aryans, especially when it comes to strategy. For one thing trudging across the ice for thousands of years brings about certain challenges which can only be solved by a rapidly evolving intelligence. Of course the blessing contains the curse. Western man’s relentless search for transcendence which in our time is like the Chinese curse, may you live through interesting times. 2020 was the opening of the first seal. Just think about how much has been revealed since then. Every revelation contains more delight than misery in that it wipes more mud off your windshield.

We are a bit down on ourselves these days. There was a study in The Economist a few years ago which attempted to identify problems with the British economy. It found that in essence you had huge numbers of very well-educated people who had no jobs to go to that were commensurate with their abilities. You shouldn’t do that even from the point of view of self-interest. To let your greatest assets rot on the vine. What is wrong with you?

An excellent article by Tom Armstrong at Free Speech Backlash.

Of course this government is intent on genocide of the British people. I have pushed this argument for many, many months. Destroy our culture, our history and destroy the people.

Not only racist, but bringing possible radicals into security services, what could go wrong?, and like it or not, more likely from certain ethenticitys.

Imagine if the advert said from ” A white, Black, mixed heritage background” or “A white, Asian, Mixed heritage” etc background. That would be recognised as racial discrimination. Not very D.E.I is it? But if you are White, and if you happen to have a traditonal family background of working parents you are truly scum in the eyes of the British establishment and deserve not to be given an opportunity. M..I 5 would seem to be racist in their exclusion of white people.
But whatever happened to just choosing the best most competent individual for the job, and be blind to race, creed, colour or sex? that is true equality, not the confected divisive programme the Government and it departments seems to be advocating.
And don’t forget the race which makes up the largest part of these isles is funding this Government inspired discrimination,

Another way of looking at it is that the demographic they wish to infiltrate isn’t white British. Not defending the obvious racism, but this is a possibility

Ah, mixed heritage. Back to the old “One Drop Rule”.

I wonder if an enterprising young person could take a 23 And Me genetic test into GCHQ and remind them that almost all of us have “mixed heritage”.
