And Finally…
In the latest episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I express disbelief that Boris still wants to introduce vaccine passports, look forward to a return of the old Michael Gove following his night on the tiles in Aberdeen, think it’s a pity that Geronimo wasn’t entrusted to the safekeeping of Pen Farthing, marvel at the $83 billion of military hardware Joe Biden has just gifted to the Taliban and give White Lotus two thumbs up.

“James Delingpole and I express disbelief that Boris still wants to introduce vaccine passports,”
Who’s Boris? Do you mean Alexander “Boris” Johnson, well-known closet sceptic and libertarian, Prime Minister of the UK? He might be your mate, but he’s not mine. He’s trying to bully my daughters into undergoing a probably dangerous medical treatment they don’t need (and he knows it), to further his political career. The only disbelief I am experiencing is that anyone with half a brain still thinks of him as “Boris” and still expresses surprise when he doubles down on the latest bit of the power grab. So take your Boris and fuck off.
As for the “return of the old Michael Gove” I’m not sure which one you mean. The only one I’ve noticed is the one who has been pushing the Big Lie for all he’s worth, while clearly not believing it. So take your old Michael Gove and fuck even futher off.
“So take your Boris and fuck off.
So take your old Michael Gove and fuck even further off.“
Seconded.
These men are not worth of the rather desperate respect Young gives them. The longer it goes on, the stronger the presumption becomes that his denial is motivated by a hope of retaining his vestigial elite respectability.
I suppose being charitable one could think the denial was self defence because the alternative – that people he once admired and considered friends, with whom he shared core beliefs, have either gone way off the rails or are not the people he thought they were. It’s tough to realise you don’t live in the world you thought you did. It’s a bit like how the Cambridge Five got away with it for so long, despite being suspected – because those around them couldn’t believe that people from the same backgrounds as them, who had gone to the same schools and universities, could possibly betray their countries.
If you are feeling charitable.
Which I suppose we should be towards Toby Young, since he is our host here and he has certainly done a lot of excellent work (Sceptic, FSU) in the most vital causes of today, at significant personal cost.
That would be my default position, yes.
He is allowed to go so far and no further, otherwise this site is no more.
I strongly doubt that this is the limiting factor.
Johnson may want me to have a ‘vaccine’ passport aka digital ID, but that does not mean I will have one, nor will I frequent or asociate with any organisation that insists upon them, for entry or for services offered. I’ll go elsewhere thanks, and associate with like-minded people, and who have a genuine libertarian mind-set. Unlike Johnson.
Daily Sceptic readers express disbelief that Toby Young and James Delingpole persist in believing the Prime Minister (not ‘Boris’) to be anything other than an instrument of the NWO oligarchy, and wonder why, after eighteen months, the penny hasn’t dropped.
Yes – very east to believe of TY, but I rather doubt that JD is fooled into such a view!
Your expressions of disbelief seem disingenuous, given that it has long since become clear that the last 18 months have had very little to do with the Chinese Virus, and very much to do with centralising power and control, terrorising, brainwashing and programming the populace, and preparing us for the social credit scores which will end all opposition to the Great Reset and our frigid, starvation-rations New Normal.
You can’t resist something if you’re not even prepared to identify it and speak the truth about it.
I was personally hoping to hear of the ultimate demise of Gove (and preferably the rest of them too), but I think that’s too much to hope for…
I wonder if his separation from his wife was caused or greatly contributed to by the revelation of his true colours in the covid panic?
I think she was/is something of a lockdown sceptic, at least compared to him.
That’s been my impression as well.
Normally I prefer to avoid discusson of marital and personal relationship issues as personal, even for celebrities, but I make exception for power couples where one or both have acted as badly as Gove has on the coronapanic.
Fortunately me and the Mrs are on the same page regarding covid. If I’d been just a bedwetter I think she may have stood by me but if I had been actively pushing lockdowns and vaccine fascism I think she’d have ditched me by now.
Same for me. I think it’s a divide that makes it very hard to tolerate the hardliners of the opposite side.
That is very likely the reason I think.
Telling exchange between Delingpole and Young after 39m, on Afghanistan, where Young reveals his determination to cling to the mainstream respectable narrative that is what we are constantly bombarded with by the mainstream media, while Delingpole has had his eyes opened to how our opinions are manipulated on these topics. To anyone who has observed the deluge of covid panic propaganda in the mainstream since about Feb/March 2020, the sharp switch to war propaganda over Afghanistan after the news of the disastrously mismanaged (but long overdue) US pullout should have been immediately obvious, but Young has swallowed it wholesale. We should never have been in Afghanistan. Though “worse than a crime, it was a blunder”, nevertheless it was a crime. A nation’s government has no business organising the governance of a foreign country. Anything the UK regime did in Afghanistan was by definition ultra vires and as far as any British citizen not directly complicit is concerned it was not in our name, and we owe no duty as a result. We owe nothing to those who collaborated with our forces but sympathy and perhaps a promise to bring the perpetrators in our government and media to account somehow. Not… Read more »
By the way, James, for future reference the most direct response to people like Toby coming out with the infantile “but they’re good, loyal people who would never turn against their adopted country” apologetics for mass immigration is to give examples like:
Nidal Hasan
Hasan was born in Arlington County, Virginia at Virginia Hospital Center to American parents of Palestinian descent; they immigrated years earlier
Omar Mateen
Mateen was born Omar Mir Seddique[2] on November 16, 1986,[8] at Long Island Jewish Medical Center[9][10] in New Hyde Park, New York, to Afghan parents. His father, Mir Seddique Mateen, is from Herat[11] who emigrated from Afghanistan in the 1980s[12][13][14] and became a naturalized US citizen on November 17, 1989.[10] Seddique Mateen was a secret informant for the FBI at times between January 2005 and June 2016…….His family was described as being moderate Muslims and “all-American.”
Does anyone know if there will be a definition of a nightclub? Or will it just be anywhere that has more than x amount of people attending at a certain time of day? These places could hopefully readvertise as something slightly different maybe a garden centre and therefore no Covidiot passport required.
