Now the reason I am telling you this story is not because I’m desperate to join the long list of people who have been providing their hot takes. But rather to tell you how ashamed I am to be talking about it at all.
I only got briefly involved because I felt Lozza - for all his faults: he really is a very silly boy, his remark was puerile and he should have seen this coming for the government regulator Ofcom has long been looking for an excuse to destroy what little is left of GB News - had been hard done by. He was only throwing back at this girl a phrase that she herself has used several times in social media spats. This was just a case of children, fighting, and should never have been escalated to a level where anyone should be made to lose their livelihood.
That was why I decided to stick my oar in on Twitter, or X as it is now Satanically known. I quickly cobbled together a snarky, satirical comment which went like this: “So men are now obliged to shag tedious women whose air headed political views and whiny boringness they find repellant? And if they protest openly about this terrible new obligation they get the sack? Who made these rules?” Not my best by any stretch. Not even that funny. But it got me a reasonable number of ‘likes’ from sympathisers. And a handful of insults from the usual haters, malcontents and 77th brigade squaddies.
As the day wore on, however, I began to have second thoughts about my intervention. What prompted this was reading some of the responses. A woman made the inevitable point about how wrong Lozza had been to attack the person, not the argument. A man made the inevitable point about how counterproductive it is when leaders of alternative ‘right-wing’ parties lower the tone of debate in such a way. The final straw was when journalist Isabel Oakeshott stepped in to berate me for my inappropriate take.
It was then that I realised that I had allowed myself to be sucked back into a world I have long since rejected: the world of the mainstream media, its attendant social media hangers on and the false narrative that this is all about personalities and ‘issues’ and gotchas and storm-in-a-teacup scandals. If this fake world didn’t exist than many of the problems we’re experiencing now in the real one would mostly be consigned to history.
Imagine, for example, if Isabel Oakeshott and her ilk had done the job that trenchant political commentators are supposed to do: calling out former Health Secretary Matt Hancock for his “Midazolam murders”; asking tough questions about state coercion, faked pandemics and vaccine injury; exposing the nonsense we are fed about the war in Ukraine; demanding an end to cruel, unnecessary and deeply unpopular policies like Net Zero, 15 Minute Cities and the war on travel by car and by air; exposing the machinations of the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Foreign Relations; telling the truth about chemtrails (aka ‘geoengineering’, the poisoning of our water supply and of mass produced food with toxic ingredients; drawing attention to the true purpose of mass immigration - the Kalergi plan; warning of the dire threats to freedom posed by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and so on.
But they don’t because they are all, whether wittingly or no, stuck in a system of lies, distraction and trivia. What they pretend is ‘news’ is actually just a massive psyop designed to sow fear, misinformation and division. We’re living in an era where healthy people, even children, are being bullied by their governments into taking experimental and unnecessary medical procedures that their governments KNOW could kill or maim them. And what does our media - even supposedly ‘atlernative’ media like GB News - have to say about this? “Why isn’t it terrible that the actor who played who played TV detective Lewis’s sidekick said something rude to some girl that you’ve never heard of?”
