Toby, can you hear yourself? 08:35. “Just because they are wrong about some things doesn’t mean they are wrong about everything.” These are the people who locked us down, mandated death jabs, closed schools, hospitals and entire economies, enforced masks and social distancing with their thuggish police. That would be the Biden administration, the Johnson administration, Macron, and the rest of the EU, Trudeau. Trudeau even confiscated the bank accounts of dissenters and imprisoned them for dissenting. And you are saying that they are correct in the case of Ukraine because it’s an exception. Get a grip of your faculties Toby, you sound ridiculous.
“Just because they are wrong about some things doesn’t mean they are wrong about everything.”
While this statement is true, I don’t think it’s especially useful. They were/are wrong and dishonest about so many big things, things which TY also thinks they are wrong and dishonest on, that the default assumption must surely be everything
unless strong evidence emerges to the contrary.
Yes, a rational and cautious man might say, judging by their record on for example covid, lockdowns, masks, death jabs, school closures, economy shutdowns, hospital closure, illegal immigration, net zero, fuel security and on and on, that their support for Ukraine is not to be trusted. Toby thinks that Ukraine is an exception.
I think our intervention in the Ukraine is a bad idea but maybe it’s possible to argue it’s the right thing to do, but much harder to believe that we are doing it for the stated reasons.
Excellent show, I thought it was the best so far.
I have heard of Otto English but couldn
t recall why so I looked him up. The first reference to him is Wikipedia and it displays a series of photos. The first two are, I think, shots of him but the third photo is Toby. I can imagine poor Toby being the subject of mis-identification, "hey, look, theres that pr**k Otto English” as he wanders the streets of London.
