I talked to BBC #PoliticsLive about the #WestminsterDeclaration. You don't improve democracy by militantly labelling speech as misinformation. @shellenberger @toadmeister @MrWinMarshall I gave 5 reasons why:
1. Free speech is important in a democracy, it benefits all of us. It’s also how science and all fields develop and grow over time. Attacks on free speech have been a precursor to other attacks on liberty throughout history.

The WHO’s Director General and the new Chair of the Technical Advisory Group for Behavioural Insights and Science for Health are both communists. Both have praised China’s response to the pandemic.

First they came for the truckers, and I did not speak out
- Because I was not a trucker.

Then they came for the donors to truckers, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a donor to truckers.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

🇨🇦 Totalitarian language borrows from doctrines of democracy and liberalism. Trudeau talks about keeping Canada safe and characterises truckers as misogynist, racist, nazi, anti-vaxx, which is subversively designed to appeal to liberals. Sowing deliberate division and discord.

📢 VACCINE PASSPORTS

✍️ Please write to your MP asking then to stop vaccine passports.

Find your MP here and make sure you include your name and address so they know you are a constituent. writetothem.com Parliament's @CommonsPACAC found there was "no justification for them [Covid passes] in the science and none in logic."

This is wrong.

I hoped the most benign interpretation was that the government was bullying young people. (And that's not very 'benign', is it?) But no, they seem committed to introducing an illiberal ID system that robs you of bodily autonomy. And this is despite 9/10 Brits having antibodies already. (ONS.) 88.1% adults had 1st dose vax already and 69.1% 2nd dose. Introducing a passport now is beyond the point of diminishing returns. Where is the cost benefit analysis? The scientific evidence? The impact statement?

Or... don't. Because it's just not a normal friendship conversation.

telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness… 'More than nine in 10 UK adults say they are happy to receive a Covid vaccine.' This is '8 out 10 cats prefer Whiskas'. Social conformity & norms. It's 'safe' to make the same choice as everyone else.

Simon Stevens has said that 20,426 people are being treated for Covid in hospitals in England, which is higher than the previous peak of about 19,000 in April.

This compares two absolute numbers, but there are serious problems.

bbc.co.uk/news/health-55… 1. It’s winter and we always have more patients in winter than we do in April. For background context let’s compare occupancy and ICU for this December with previous Decembers going back 5 years.

My feature The Detransitioners 🦎 was the third most read story in the Times and Sunday Times in 2020.

Thank you to @km_km_km_ and @thesundaytimes for running it and being an absolute dream to work with.

thetimes.co.uk/article/the-10… I was warned to expect a backlash, and had a few refusals. But this was an important story and I knew I could tell it with compassion and integrity. The women who trusted me and took part are truly brave and have lived several lifetimes in one.

On 19 Nov there was a coordinated campaign of over 300 tweets, comprised of accounts which look genuine and some which seem to be bots.

Who initiated this campaign and who deployed these accounts to push for online censorship? This is a thread containing some information, some questions, and not many firm answers. The campaign was clumsy enough to be spotted, and it was interestingly timed.

A vaccine seems like the happy ending to the horrible story of 2020, but happy endings are not written in the language of coercive control, emotional manipulation and threats. This is an example: telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/…

Another example is health ministers threatening mandation which would need changes to the law.
