Toby Young is doing a good job of allowing free speech on this website, however reading the forums it now appears to have become a covid deniers website rather than a lockdown sceptic website.

I have seen many replies that tell me that very few people have actually died from covid and are then cheered on by other people. I am happy to have an informed debate about the success of lockdowns, the economic, health and mental health issues caused by lockdown, but denial that there is a problem is dangerous.

The theory seems to be that some rich people (not public school lads like Toby and Laurence Fox, some other rich people) are all trying to convince us that there is a problem when there isn't.

Watch this: https://twitter.com/sbattrawden/status/1354440871945646081?s=20 If you (like the people on this video) think you know better than this doctor then please give some background of your understanding.

Do you think this doctor has been taken in by whatever conspiracy you seem to think is happening.

This is costing lives and is dangerous. If posters allow themselves to get away from discussion of the impact of lockdown you may well get reported. It would be a shame to lose a site where problems of lockdown can be discussed.

It seems the answer to my question was, "a few more months".

Yes I agree - lockdowns are costing lives and are dangerous.

WTF?

I mean, seriously, WTF?

He’s just another arsehole that thinks you need to think as you’re told to think or you should be de platformed.

... denial that there is a problem is dangerous.

You mean misinformation such as quoting ONS's weekly deaths - the government's own statistics? Well, wash my mouth out with soap and water!

I read what he had to say and I have to say that it changed my mind. I see the error of my ways now. Oh wait a sec ... Just kidding.
