I’ll be discussing the Lockdown Files with Isabel Oakeshott live on stage at the Hippodrome in Leicester Square on June 13th. Tickets are now on sale for just £25 and the doors open at 7pm (as does the bar). The show will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. You can purchase tickets here.
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 actors playing the parts of Hancock, Boris Johnson, Patrick Vallance, Chris Whitty, et al. The evening will close with a half hour audience Q&A.
We were originally planning to stage this at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster on June 10th, but it cancelled after Matt Hancock’s people got in touch and told them they’d be profiting from stolen goods. However, those who’ve bought VIP drinks tickets or VIP dinner tickets for June 10th need not worry – the event will now take place at UnHerd’s headquarters on Old Queen Street. VIP drinks ticket holders will be welcome to have a drink with Isabel and me at UnHerd from 6pm, the show will start at 7.30pm in the first floor event space and VIP dinner ticket holders will then be invited to a three-course dinner at UnHerd’s restaurant with Isabel and me at 10pm. For those who would like to see the show on June 10th, there are still a few VIP drinks tickets available (the dinner is old out). You can purchase them here.
Those who would like to see the show at the Hippodrome on June 13th can purchase £25 tickets here. But hurry – there aren’t many left.

The scamdemic lockdowns gave them an inch, now they are taking a yard!
Being able to do what you wish when you like will never be conducive with a strong work ethic! Blame whichever illness or pandemic you like, it’s just that, a bone idle excuse for doing f-all and still getting paid
Plays right into the hands of those who propose a UBI and the social credit control state. I think people even with just the sniffles, who used to go to work when afflicted, now stay at home. That’s thanks to Covid nonsense of anyone with a mere drip at the end of their nose being declared a potential murderous granny killer. Covid has changed our society irrevocably to one where common sense about normal winter ailments has disappeared and that effing mantra of ‘stay safe’ abounds!!
Hang on, this graph indicates that workers in the UK used take a mere 4 days off, whereas the Norwegians took over 3 weeks a year sick??? And the Germans 11 days?? WTF? So much for the UK being a nation of skivers.
The devil will be in the detail: how is the base data defined and how is it manipulated? What is effect of labour laws in each country and zero hours contracts?? Etc.
Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the toxic gene therapies which basically trash the immune system over time.
I’ll bet that the incidence of sick days – obviously caused by long govid, is highest amongst Guardian readers and avid BBC watchers.
So, is it reading the Guardian and/or watching the BBC that causes these problems and/or the fact that they’re more likely to be highly jabbed…
I recall that there was research which showed that a significant proportion of Long Covid sufferers had, er, never had covid.
What a surprise. Who’d have thought that people might change their attitude to relatively minor illnesses after the scamdemic? Historically, I probably acquired most of the “common colds” (and transmitted a few) at work, when it was not the norm to take a couple of days off sick with things like that. Of course, some might say that this is a good improvement, but then they should be prepared to shell out for the consequences.

Councils agreeing to Nut Zero before 2050 and with NO mandate – 160 of them.
Has your local council signed up with UK100?
If yours is on this list, it has anti-democratically pledged to put the Net Zero agenda before voters’ wishes & the public’s interest
See our research in Telegraph here: https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/06/councils-undemocratic-pledges-beat-governments-net-zero/

The council of the place we live is on this list.

What the heck is this?? I smell maximum garbage here, with a large side helping of scapegoating of this benign drug. HCQ is an exceedingly safe drug, safe enough to even use in pregnancy, as far as I’m aware. I wonder what the likes of experts such as Drs Kory and McCullough say about this;
”The use of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine in the first months of the Covid pandemic may have cost the lives of some 200 patients in the Netherlands, according to new research
Calculations by a French team of scientists show the side effects of the drug killed at least 17,000 people worldwide. The real number is probably higher because of “incomplete data from most countries”, the researchers said.
It is not clear exactly how many people died from the side effects of the drug in the Netherlands, microbiologist and doctor Marc Bonten told the Volkskrant. Some 10,000 seriously ill patients were treated with the drug of whom some 2,000 died. Around 200 would have have survived without the drug, he said.”

IIRC, in some of these trials with HCL they used several multiples of the usual therapeutic dose, which was bound to cause issues because the safe dose range is not so wide. Why would you do that, unless you were designing the trial to fail. The last couple of paras make it clear it is a hit piece against the pesky antivaxxers. As usual, the devil is in the detail. Or in this case, the lack of detail.
For a country’s productivity and thus long-term economic health, officials and business leaders need to figure out why employees’ physical health seems to be deteriorating, as indicated by the increase in sick days taken. Possible reasons for this increase include 1) Malingerers and those used to being at home during the workweek, 2) People with hacking colds more considerate of their fellow workers, 3) People with minor colds shamed into staying home, 4) Employees’ compromised immune systems from the jabs, 5) Employees taking time off to care for children/family members with compromised immune systems. If Long Covid is more associated with the jabs than with Covid infection itself, then that’s a subset of 4) and 5?. Children’s compromised immune systems could be associated with the lockdowns. Fewer/no medical visits during the lockdowns could also have caused this current bout of sickness/ill health.
Here’s another indicator that people may be more sick than in the past: Blood shortages. The Red Cross is reporting fewer people are donating and there’s an urgent need for blood. I’ve seen comments that the Red Cross always says that. When I donated blood today, I said that to the man sitting next to me. He said, no, his daughter is a nurse and they haven’t seen shortages this bad. Turns out that the 50-ish man couldn’t donate blood today because his hemoglobin was low. Nosy that I am, I researched causes and cancer is the most serious. While there, I was desperately trying to overhear whether the techs ask men whether they’ve been pregnant like they ask the women!
A triple-jabbed friend got Covid (again) on the run-up to Christmas. It’s taken her 4 weeks to get over it … this time.
It would be interesting to see data on the number of sick days taken by the jabbed+boosted and the number taken by the un-jabbed.
Long Covid or Long Vaccine?
No.
Laziness!
This doesn’t really make sense – as per the graph above, obviously people in different countries had hugely different tendencies to take sick days pre-covid anyway (much bigger differences than the increases we are now seeing) – but if the increase is, as we are told, due to everyone having Long Covid or stress, then why are people in Ireland only 3% more stressed and ill whereas in the UK as a whole it’s 36%? I know % can be misleading but if they are basing this whole analysis on % increase then surely they need to explain the difference in effect. IMO they can’t blame the NHS either since countries without an NHS (ie everywhere else) are seeing the same effect.
Also everyone in Sweden should have Long Covid and trauma ++ since they didn’t lock down, so why such a small increase there?
