tonia buxton. it really is my honour to be asked to stand in for mark steyn while he's away this evening. i'm not even going to try and fill his shoes. just keep them warm this time of year. between the old year and the new is a time of reflection , of time of reflection, of contemplation, a time to look back at what we have achieved and what we have been through. it's a time of resolution . how it's a time of resolution. how do we want 2023 to be.7 it it's a time of resolution. how do we want 2023 to be? it must also be a time of lesson . also be a time of lesson. lessons learned personally, socially, hopefully globally, and lessons we want repeated . and lessons we want repeated. what i have personally observed over the latter months of this yearis over the latter months of this year is the big brush under the carpet. not only has there been a denial and a minimal realisation of the harm , but we realisation of the harm, but we have been asked for and amnesty and requests. may i add , by the and requests. may i add, by the very individuals cheerleading, the draconian conditions that were forced upon us . they want were forced upon us. they want

to be forgiven for closing schools, for preventing people seeing their loved ones , for seeing their loved ones, for pushing medications people did not want, and making pariahs of others . my guests and, i stood others. my guests and, i stood firm in the face of vilification, abuse and to cancel us . we knew the damage cancel us. we knew the damage lockdown would do. we knew that the impact of the virus was being blown out of all proportion while very nasty to the very elderly and those with certain clinical conditions. the average age at death was and still is 82. we knew shutting schools and isolate children would do in calculable harm. we knew it would. and will take years to try it and right the wrongs. children were almost no risk from but have arguably the greatest burden of the pandemic response with closures. sports and clubs stopped being left unable to socialise with friends

and family . the current strep a and family. the current strep a outbreak has been linked to the effects of lockdown. as we continue to find out more ways in which children were harmed. say they were following the science , but it was a selective science, but it was a selective science. a science that was influenced by psychologists to control people and drive knee jerk reactions to the propaganda in the mainstream media. other scientists and doctors who opposed the lockdowns , who were opposed the lockdowns, who were worried about the consequent losses, and who warned that the modelling was flawed worth silenced. we were are on the right side history. but most importantly humanity. of right side history. but most importantly humanity . of course, importantly humanity. of course, we will forgive those who were bunded we will forgive those who were blinded by the lies and massive bonuses of those in charge. the mainstream media and our politicians as we forgive those that were brainwashed and nudged. but but we need to hear their apology first. that that they were wrong . otherwise it

they were wrong. otherwise it will happen again . we try to will happen again. we try to speak the truth to flag up the inevitable consequences of locking down whole populations , locking down whole populations, especially our children. we warned of the damage to society , to businesses, to humanity. but we were silenced, banned , but we were silenced, banned, fined, demonised , and others, fined, demonised, and others, perhaps most important to remember out of everything is that the powers that be have not stopped pushing the covid narrative. far from it. stopped pushing the covid narrative. far from it . and it's narrative. far from it. and it's not the only narrative they're pushing now. it's about war. it's about the climate. the fear mongering. the pushing of vaccines. and the relentless grasping of control of every aspect of our lives goes on. how can there be an amnesty when the crimes are still being committed? these are the truths must be faced up to question . must be faced up to question. that must be answered . but in

that must be answered. but in this hour , i want to address this hour, i want to address some of these thoughts with my brilliant guests . each one has brilliant guests. each one has had a unique insight into what has been happening since march 2020. we will be discussing what happened, but most importantly, what you can do to fix the damage and to never let it happen again . damage and to never let it happen again. i'm joined now by professor marcantonio from the london south bank university, who is a special in mental health and has authored a wide, wide range of published research on psychologic distress during . on psychologic distress during. the covid 19 pandemic. marcantonio thank you so much for joining . so after almost forjoining. so after almost three years of the pandemic . forjoining. so after almost three years of the pandemic. how is our mental health that our mental health is ? it's not mental health is? it's not great. in the uk, we're probably compared to pre—pandemic levels. we have twice the level of psychological distress twice,

twice double. yes, it in around about march , april, may 20, 21 about march, april, may 20, 21 where we were around about two and a half times higher than pre—pandemic levels . so that's pre—pandemic levels. so that's that's just a ridiculous response . it. the way our mental response. it. the way our mental health is being abused is ridiculous. yes, we know what's happened. ridiculous. yes, we know what's happened . there was fear happened. there was fear mongering on the part media and government which including increased anxiety responses surrounding the virus . we don't surrounding the virus. we don't know about the long term effects that it could fuel. obsessive disorder, health, anxiety . then disorder, health, anxiety. then we had the lockdowns that decimated social networks, parts of the economy and also meant that people were at home alone and started to engage all sorts of unhelpful behaviours. alcohol use , gambling, gaming, etc. so use, gambling, gaming, etc. so what your thoughts on the own data on? the costs of living and

depression in britain today? so the onus publish some data from a period of about a month from the end of september or until the end of september or until the end of and the staggering finding is that roughly 16% of the uk population is experiencing some form moderate to severe depression with particular groups very negatively affected . i mean, we negatively affected. i mean, we all sit in our families and we sit with our children, we sit with our parents. see it. but. but what can we learn from this? we should learn never to have lockdowns again. because the human cost is enormous . can you human cost is enormous. can you repeat that? repeated loudly. never to have lockdowns again ? i never to have lockdowns again? i don't think there is much scientific basis to have them in the first place. we didn't really have them in the past with pandemics which were probably far more serious than the one we went through and the importance of reconnecting socially and ensuring that

people are not scared into submission that. they're educated about what's on. so what can people to help themselves ? so in this moment in themselves? so in this moment in time we are you know at the tail end of a series of events that have increased psychology , legal have increased psychology, legal distress . the biggest one now have increased psychology, legal distress. the biggest one now is cost of living . so there are cost of living. so there are many things we can try and do now. for the number one thing, the one that i help most people with is re—establish daily routines . to calm down to, to routines. to calm down to, to get to a point where we're eating properly, sleeping properly , exercising. then there properly, exercising. then there is all the issue to do with personal that hard decisions that may have to be surrounding the we do have available at present looking at income things and our outgoings being smarter with that . it's also a period with that. it's also a period where we could look at upskilling ourselves , finding

upskilling ourselves, finding new of generating income. as i said earlier , to people who are said earlier, to people who are important to us in life . so important to us in life. so a series of things we cannot change the environment that directly, but we can try and manage the best can. so you've also set up a website, i think . also set up a website, i think. w w w dot j aq also set up a website, i think. w w w dotj aq .org. yes what does that do? so i haven't set it up, but have been involved in setting set it up. it's just ask a question . it's a social media, a question. it's a social media, mental health platform that allows to gain access to professionals , the field professionals, the field academics and clinicians. once you answer 60, 70, 80, 100 standard questions you might have about mental health. it bypasses search engines and goes direct to experts . i think it's direct to experts. i think it's an invaluable resource. and this moment in time i loved it because i went on it and had a little kind of play, as it were,

and i like the fact that it's so personable that it like that person's talking to you . so, i person's talking to you. so, i mean, i know you say that, you know, these 60, 100, whatever questions they a standard questions they a standard questions they a standard questions they feel very questions but they feel very personable and i in the light the world that we're living in at the moment especially with what's going on within the nhs you can't actually get anybody to talk to if you're suffering from mental health issues. so this is almost like someone talking you. yes. it's an talking to you. yes. it's an opportunity to have access through this platform to experts who will be able to answer all sorts of questions is the pressure, biologic based, dual core problems ever resolved? how many people software for body dysmorphia , etc? i'm you know dysmorphia, etc? i'm you know that the quality of the information provided is of a high standard because these are some of the top specialists in the world in mental health and there many people we've lived experience sharing their experiences to. i just i just feel that we need to. every every personal i've on today i

want to leave the studio with a note of happiness and a note of for the people watching on gb news because that's what we need. that's what we deserve. so what would be the one point of happiness that you told people to for in their lives? to look for in their lives? yeah. so we need to return to be together to be part of the social networks that have been essential to our history human beings. so i would say now reconnect as much as possible in things that, you know, have been forgotten or very important, reactivate them be with people , reactivate them be with people, maybe stay away technology. the value that get in terms of the boost to our mood that comes through being with is empowering . professor marcantonio as well ithank . professor marcantonio as well i thank you so much. thank you much. i think everything you've said is invaluable. coming up as all leaders continue on their crusade into our private . we crusade into our private. we will talk with the author of a

state of fear the autopsy about the role of the nudge in the post—covid world. don't go .

as mark steyn says, this is the people's channel. let us channel what the people are thinking. we asked you, will we have a conversation? free year in 2023? well jane says, my household will for sure. we're done with that nonsense. well done . i that nonsense. well done. i agree with that. good girl . agree with that. good girl. llama says i've been to cove. it's. nice place with great architecture. the is a bit of a barrier. barrier you as everyone wears a mask please. oh we all just done with masks. i had i mean honestly i had a great time

walking into places saying i'm what was it i'm abstaining or i'm i'm not allowed to wear a mask. i've got a medical issue and so have all four of my children and my husband . any children and my husband. any guests that we've got with us that used to drive the security guards mad, but and lesley , if guards mad, but and lesley, if we decide it's all over, then it's all over. i don't think we will ever be manipulated that extent again. well, licenced any hope? not our next guest is legendary laura dodsworth . her legendary laura dodsworth. her exceptional book, a state fear, perfectly chronicled autism into hysteria and illiberal by the decree of tunnel vision during the chaos of 2020. nora has since continued the offensive at a cambridge union debate in october. she attacked the nudge unit, a government department set up under david cameron, to covertly the behaviour of the population to comply with the demand of the so—called experts and what a speech it was.

democracy should be enacting the will of the people not or about changing the will of the people. more explained . summing up the more explained. summing up the danger all liberty that such organisation represent. but what about these experts themselves? they by definition, specialists , not generalists. they have a role . nobody doubts that. but role. nobody doubts that. but such types are perhaps the last people on earth to be making value judgements and decisions that require careful consideration of the whole of the human experience . take the human experience. take a look at this past passage by robert hyman about complete men and women should go about their lives . a human being should be lives. a human being should be able to change a diaper plan invasion butcher a hog . invasion butcher a hog. co—ownership did not design a building write a sonnet ballot balance accounts build a wall set a bone comfort the dying take orders give orders cooperate act alone solve equafions cooperate act alone solve

equations analyse a new problem pitch manure program a computer cook a tasty meal fight efficiently die gallantly. specialisation is for insects . specialisation is for insects. insects indeed . we don't want to insects indeed. we don't want to be insects. we don't to be in the pond feasting on them ehhen the pond feasting on them either. well, time for our new year's resolution on this one. how do we wrestle control from the anoraks and becoming the kind of complete men and women exercising their agency and their liberty? the great mr. heine then so eloquently described . well, i'm joined by described. well, i'm joined by the author of a state of fear, laura dodsworth . to answer that laura dodsworth. to answer that very quick question. so, laura, what can we do now that the government have employed these type of units . and what was the type of units. and what was the worst that they to us during this time? first of you open was great. i think you should write the next blurb for my new book. feel so good. especially the

bits about not being insects, not eating them because that's that's something can talk that's something we can talk about the worst about eating. what are the worst they did? well, that is a great question. it's only difficult because. much . i because. they did so much. i mean, if you think back to the beginning of covid early in march . patrick vallance sir march. patrick vallance sir patrick vallance said that covid would be a very mild illness for the vast majority of us . within the vast majority of us. within about ten days, boris johnson's that we had to be aware of the devastating impact this silent killer . the government formed killer. the government formed quite a u—turn when it did in its management of, the pandemic. it decided to exaggerate the risks. we can't forget , like risks. we can't forget, like anyone can get it. anyone can spread it? don't go out. you might spread it. granny killer. i mean that . a terrible thing to i mean that. a terrible thing to say to children. don't kill granny. don't let a cup of coffee cost lives . well, just coffee cost lives. well, just add on that note, because this is the one that really bugs me. the granny killer. because, you know, my granny was killed because of. lockdown. yeah. and so, yes, it was a granny. can

lockdowns killed granny. lockdowns killed our granny. well, , people's granny did well, also, people's granny did die of covid the die of covid to put the responsibility onto their grandchild is just grossly unfair because , as we knew at unfair because, as we knew at the beginning and we know even more now, it was very attractive , followed by and clinical , followed by age and clinical morbidity. grannies morbidity. morbidity. grannies were more at risk than grandchildren . but lot of grandchildren. but a lot of pressure was onto the young. pressure was put onto the young. i just in 2020, the i think just in 2020, the government spent i think just in 2020, the government spen t £160 million government spent £160 million just advertising, it just on advertising, making it the biggest the country's biggest advertiser. an advertiser. there was an onslaught of fear mongering nudge and propaganda. so it's no surprise that by july 20, 26 to 7, the popular know sorry most of the population thought that 6 to 7% of the population had died of covid, which would have been four and a half million bodies. so a few months , people grossly so a few months, people grossly overestimated deaths by by over 100. and something that the government did to us they really micromanaged our lives. government did to us they really micromanaged our lives . think micromanaged our lives. think you're in a lot of trouble when . your government is telling you which spoons to take. sometimes

for christmas dinner weather, you can christmas dinner and whether you can hug relatives. so they did while trying to manage the pandemic, they leveraged fear heavily. they nudged us . they used propaganda nudged us. they used propaganda . it was an onslaught of doom mongering and behavioural science. so they did they did a wrong and i think the power got to their heads and we're seeing it continue. we've seen a climate which you mentioned there's this concerted campaign to make us see insects. you know, no one's clamouring to insert stones going, oh me, me, i want to eat insects, make available. no, at all yet. available. no, not at all yet. we've got trials in welsh schools. celebrities schools. we've got celebrities pimping powders. we had pimping in set powders. we had insects . the great british bake insects. the great british bake off. that's just one of many approaches there right now approaches there are right now not climate change. so not just into climate change. so having insects on the bake off is yeah, i'd say so. is a nudge. yeah, i'd say so. and it's these things don't all happen by accident. last the government's not at the time it was one third owned by the cabinet office produced a report in collaboration with sky licenced broadcaster on how to

nudge the few are using tv programming, things , programming, including things, weather reports, news documentaries, soap operas , documentaries, soap operas, general entertainment, children's programming, product placement in to not just towards net zero behaviour, but know some people will say that it's the government's job to lead us into living healthier lives , to into living healthier lives, to caring more about the environment . don't you caring more about the environment. don't you think ? environment. don't you think? that's the case that you think that's what the government should doing? i think that's a tncky should doing? i think that's a tricky question think there's tricky question i think there's different comfort with different levels of comfort with nudge. the nudge. yes, it's the government's role to enact policies. this what the policies. so this is what the government do it should government should do it should have policies, say votacion have some policies, say votacion on then we'll on this basis. and then we'll make them happen. but that's not what with they what happens with nudge. they get certain. and get voted in for certain. and then they're try then once they're in, they try to nudge us. that's below the level consciousness in order level of consciousness in order to follow more unpopular , such to follow more unpopular, such as net zero, which involves one hesher after another. that involves changing travel. what we meat versus insects, we eat meat versus insects, whether we drive putting planters across road in london. they can't do this unless they

nudge us. that's working below the level consciousness and a sneaky sneaky it's not fair play andifs sneaky sneaky it's not fair play and it's not in manifestos and also you know, especially when it comes to climate change, the is still out about that so they're us something that they're us to something that they're us to something that they're not 100% sure of. so what need to know what what we need to know and what i need know and what your book need to know and what your book state of fear did for me, just open my eyes. i had no idea . open my eyes. i had no idea. nuts. and suddenly i started the large so i mean people go get your book, but if they don't go get your book, you give us some tips on how to avoid the knowledge, how to avoid being brainwashed. yes, i can. i loved your last comment there from a viewer saying that won't viewer saying that she won't ever again. and ever be manipulated again. and exactly say once exactly what you say once you see nudges, unsee see nudges, you can't unsee them. everybody wants to them. now, everybody wants to know own mind. everybody know their own mind. everybody wants be sovereign their wants to be sovereign over their own mind. can't know your own mind. you can't know your mind. can't control of mind. you can't be in control of your mind. if somebody else your own mind. if somebody else is your mind. so is in control of your mind. so you to be aware the you need to be aware the techniques you need to understand behaviour. understand the behaviour. science you. science is conveyed upon you. the try to the external that try to influence you, manipulate you,

brainwash you also brainwash you, and you can also develop own psychological resistance . so here's three tips resistance. so here's three tips we talked about the great british bake off. it's tv's entertainment. it's great to turn it on and tune out. brilliant. but you do need to understand that tv is used social engineering purposes, pubuc social engineering purposes, public health, social purpose. and it's been used historically . you like that she used. but like now 26 all the soap operas convert to all the environmental story lines. that's not an accident. so perhaps watch less tv apart from this station, obviously, and watch mindfully understand its use for social engineering, social proof a classic nudge now this plays on the idea that we're social were herd animals and that subsequent evolutionary purpose. you know we don't eat the poisonous berries on the because no one else does so it's useful but it's used against sometimes it's quite helpful . amazon will say, quite helpful. amazon will say, because you book you like book b now that's great. you may well like but b but they're selling to eight out of ten cats prefer

whiskas and it's also used in reverse it's used to silence the dissenters and the outliers. think about how we were all encouraged into social conformity during covid. so i would say to people, be aware of the social proof, but don't feel you must follow it. and more than that, be the person that speaks out. be the whistleblower , be the outlier. because it can be difficult the first time, but get used to it. and also it makes you feel good about yourself . it does you feel yourself. it does make you feel good yourself . yeah. good about yourself. yeah. there's lot of pride being there's a lot of pride in being the person speaks up. think the person that speaks up. think about fable, fairy tale about the fable, the fairy tale of emperor, the naked i'm of the emperor, the naked i'm poon of the emperor, the naked i'm poor, emperor no clothes poor, the emperor has no clothes now. went along with it. the now. he went along with it. the courtiers along with it, all the towns people along with it. towns people went along with it. it's who spoke out and it's one boy who spoke out and he when somebody he everything. so when somebody speaks out, sometimes it's the right thing step away right thing to do to step away from the group another really from the group. another really simple people can do is to simple thing people can do is to remember holts. now alcoholic anonymous . so if anonymous talk about this. so if you are hungry angry, lonely or tired , you're more likely to tired, you're more likely to fall off the wagon . you're

fall off the wagon. you're tired, hungry, angry, lonely tired. so you've got to look after your physical needs, but also your emotional needs or your more likely to fall back into your addictions. but that also things also affects things like purchasing and your purchasing decisions and your susceptibility to manipulation. so things like don't go so simple things like don't go to the supermarket when hungry but on social media before but don't on social media before breakfast. and if you are hungry or angry or tired or makes you emotional, don't just immediately share it. think about it. so your physical and your emotional needs before you take on board new emotion, before you take a new information, well, before you rush into making purchasing decisions . for instance, laura, decisions. for instance, laura, that's the best advice you can give, isn't it? i mean, just halt before you start doing things and that one bit of advice that not going on social media before breakfast or not going on to it first thing in the morning can actually change your life content. it really does. really sets an does. i think it really sets an emotional for i'm emotional tone for the i'm pretty addicted top pretty addicted that's my top tip don't off don't come for tip don't go off don't come for breakfast downhill from breakfast it's all downhill from there onwards. thank you so much. you. bye. next up,

much. thank you. bye. next up, we have journalistic legend we have the journalistic legend thatis we have the journalistic legend that is toby young , general, that is toby young, general, secretary of the free speech union. to my tired. he'll be discussing the outlook for freedom of expression is as we head into the new after that you the viewer the chance to ask me whatever you like with a buck the bucks buxton think we came up with a brilliant so get in touch via email or twitter don't touch via email or twitter don't touch that dial mike's mark steyn with me .

in many ways the pandemic was a revelation it has revealed how our governments and institutions will work hand in hand to advance a certain agenda of taking advantage of a crisis like zombies. we were told to

follow the science, but what is the science exactly? let's look at the social media companies, shall we? from youtube. youtube allow content that contradicts local health authorities. all the world health organisation's medical information about covid 19. and where do they get their medical information from? i wonder ? and who funds them wonder? and who funds them anyway? that's another question . so we now have we remove misinformation during health emergencies when public health authorities conclude that the information is both . and up information is both. and up until recently from twitter, we consider claims to be false or misleading. if they been confirmed to be false by subject matter. experts such as public health authorities. so, in other words, the truth is dictated by misinformation is defined as anything which contrary official . this is journalism

anything which contrary official . this isjournalism in anything which contrary official . this is journalism in reverse? and there are theories of consequences to this . it has consequences to this. it has just been revealed elon musk, this release that the twitter that twitter executives the command of the us government and sought to silence those silence those exposing information that was true but inconvenient . well was true but inconvenient. well who better to talk to than the general secretary of the free speech union, toby young . hello, speech union, toby young. hello, toby. thank you so much for joining me . hi, tony. so what joining me. hi, tony. so what were the main threats to free speech in 23 ? well, i think the speech in 23? well, i think the big threats to free speech in 2023 are likely be legislative threats . so that's the online threats. so that's the online safety bill which will likely become law next year . and i become law next year. and i think that even as it stands, it's slightly it was terrible .

it's slightly it was terrible. it's now not great. not terrible. but i hope that it can be improved more before it becomes law, because if it can't, then that will pose a big threat to free speech online . i threat to free speech online. i think that . the new public order think that. the new public order act or new order bill, which is going to limit the right to protest in various ways could pose a threat to free speech. there is a there is an amendment to that bill which proposed by stella creasy . it'll become stella creasy. it'll become illegal legal to protest within a buffer zone outside , an a buffer zone outside, an abortion clinic. and as we last week where in birmingham birmingham council had imposed a similar buffer zone outside abortion clinic in birmingham and woman was arrested for engaging silent prayer. a christian woman within that buffer zone . and if this buffer zone. and if this amendment to public order bill means that people won't be able to think bad thoughts in the buffer zones , abortion clinics

buffer zones, abortion clinics and that becomes a law, i think, that will pose a very significant threat to free speech. and i think are the ramifications of anti misogyny laws. we look that there's a there's a current proposal before the scottish parliament for an anti misogyny law. stella creasy has also been petitioning the parliament in westminster to pass an anti misogyny law. the worry then is that even though it's very intentioned, it's designed to protect women and girls from misogynistic language and violent behaviour. girls from misogynistic language and violent behaviour . but much and violent behaviour. but much of that is already against the law. and i worry that if there is an anti misogyny law passed, it'll mean that if you say you don't think trans women are women, for instance, you could be prosecuted for misogyny because that the will because the bill that the will protect trans women as much as it will protect women. so i think those are some of think those those are some of the bigger fears all the bigger bigger fears it's all about legislation and making sure our speech our sure that our speech our freedoms aren't curtailed even further in 2023. and how do we prevent legislation that is kind

of illiberal going through ? what of illiberal going through? what can we do ? well, the free speech can we do? well, the free speech is the government to try and make sure that when these laws do go through , they pose less of do go through, they pose less of a threat to free speech. so obviously i would encourage all your viewers join the free speech union. it says cheapest chips . but i speech union. it says cheapest chips. but i think, you speech union. it says cheapest chips . but i think, you know, chips. but i think, you know, i think people can write to their mps, people can in peaceful protest. i think, you know , of protest. i think, you know, of the main reasons that free speech is in jeopardy in this country at the moment, tony, is that people lack courage . they that people lack courage. they think that if they speak minds on these issues, if they speak if they say something that's likely to be or unpopular , their likely to be or unpopular, their colleagues at work are likely to complain about it or they're going to get abuse on social media that that will ruin their lives so that mark them , they'll lives so that mark them, they'll be ostracised, pushed out of

respectable society . but often respectable society. but often if you can just encourage people to be a bit bolder if you can somehow lower the cost of speaking your mind in a perfectly way, expressing a point view which until very recently, until yesterday was perfectly legitimate. if you can encourage people to be a little bolder, a little bit braver , bolder, a little bit braver, then that really that's really going to be the bulwark which defends free speech. it's fear. fear of repercussions of saying what you really think, which i think is the greatest threat to free speech. so i'd encourage people to just speak speak people to just speak out speak their minds, what they think their minds, say what they think about issues and. also, about these issues and. also, that feels wonderful well that feels wonderful as well when speaking and when you're speaking truth and you're speaking mind we you're speaking your mind and we were mental were talking about mental health earlier that improve your mental health cowering in the health sitting, cowering in the corner frightened corner because you're frightened of or of being cancelled or you or people looking at you differently, even you differently, even though you know truth is very bad know it's the truth is very bad for you and that's one of the things that you best all things that you do best of. all toby, you speak up you don't care that you know you're care that that you know you're to for speaking the to be vilified for speaking the truth you're very truth but you're you're a very brave want to ask you

brave man. i want to ask you also little about twitter, also a little bit about twitter, because we learnt yesterday that twitter social media twitter and other social media companies suppressed the voices that questioned the efficacy and safety of the covid 19 vaccines, even when they belonged to doctors and scientists. why do you think they did that ? yeah, i you think they did that? yeah, i think the latest revelations in the twitter that have dropped in the twitter that have dropped in the last couple of days are, you know , have confirmed the worst know, have confirmed the worst fears of people like me about . fears of people like me about. the extent of suppression of , the extent of suppression of, dissent , both about the wisdom dissent, both about the wisdom of the lockdown policy and about the safety and efficacy of the mrna vaccines on media, not just twitter , but on social media twitter, but on social media more broadly. twitter, but on social media more broadly . you know, we were more broadly. you know, we were accused when claimed that various public authorities seized police enforcement agencies, politicians and were

applying pressure to social media companies like twitter, like facebook companies , like like facebook companies, like google. we were accused of being conspiracy theorists, but elon musk said recently , now that we musk said recently, now that we know what really happened at twitter, it's as if every conspiracy theory about the super session of dissent on big social media platforms has turned out to be true. and that is very alarming, but it's great that we now know that we've now got the facts that we can now we can, we can, we can anyone accuses can, we can, we can anyone accuses us can, we can, we can anyone accuses us of engaging in conspiracy theorising when we claim that dissent is being suppressed by the state. essentially on social media platforms, we can point to these files and say, no, look, it really happened. here's the evidence . it's absolutely clear evidence. it's absolutely clear and i hope that that will shape the other social platforms to be a little bit a little bit bolder, a little bit a little bit less in future to do the bidding of the fbi and of the

biden administration of the cdc. if people like anthony fauci need to debate in public these very important issues that affect all of our lives, and the argument always , as you said, argument always, as you said, when you me, tony, the argument always is that we're suppressing this information . it's this information. it's misinformation. it's that's going to cause harm , in fact, going to cause harm, in fact, it's often perfectly legitimate pubuc it's often perfectly legitimate public debate about big, important issues that affect of our lives. and we to have that debate, we need to have that debate, we need to have that debate if you want to minimise, the harmful effects of policies , you need to debate what those effects are likely to be before they're imposed. what happened over the last two and a half, three that lot of three years, is that lot of these really big policies that affect lives as the affect all of our lives as the lockdowns, such as vaccine , lockdowns, such as the vaccine, such as vaccine mandates , such as the vaccine mandates, were imposed without a proper pubuc were imposed without a proper public debate. and i think if we can show in the course of the next that imposing those policies without properly

evaluate them, debating them in the public square caused more harm than , in many cases. the public square caused more harm than , in many cases . then harm than, in many cases. then we can we can give the lie to argument that suppressing debate is necessary in order to avoid . is necessary in order to avoid. i think it'll be possible to show , but we need to show it show, but we need to show it that suppression debate, suppression faith by suppression of good faith by people like martin caldwell from jay bhattacharya, eminent medical that suppression actually caused harm . it didn't actually caused harm. it didn't prevent harm. and if we can that if we can demonstrate that beyond doubt, it's going to be harder for social media companies to be bullied and browbeaten in future to , browbeaten in future to, suppress in good faith, public debate but perfectly eminent respect to people like martin caldwell, for joe bhattacharya, toby young , thank you so much. toby young, thank you so much. and all i can say is that if you can join the free speech union, i'm a member. i think it's brilliant and it's really important that we keep our free speech. thanks, toby. coming up, what we can do in 2023 ? make what we can do in 2023? make sure we are happier. mental

practitioner and businesswoman zoe clews is here and face shoot as book. the book then is around the corner and you won't want to miss any of that. see you in a moment .

to take back control of your life in 2023. hello, zoe, how are you? i'm great. so why we got so unhappy? well, it's so multi fact, isn't it? where do we start? okay so we've had three years of being told what to do , how to feel, what to do to do, how to feel, what to do with our bodies. the government . 500 million on covid advertising , which . 500 million on covid advertising, which is essentially fair messaging when it was going to flip out of that, you know, when appliances we human beings takes well for nervous system to recover of nervous system to recover and of course haven't been able to course we haven't been able to recover shock recover because it's been shock of shock thing of the of the shock or thing of the thing and it's been like cattle prods nervous system. prods to the nervous system. that's it feels. know that's how it feels. you know cattle to nervous system. cattle prod to nervous system. thatis cattle prod to nervous system. that is a great way of putting it. and, you know, there also allosteric which when allosteric load which is when it's but it's not just our stress but it's not just our stress but it's also the stress of the collective well, kind of like collective as well, kind of like second anxiety really that second hand anxiety really that we've also in we've got. we're also living in this digital which this digital world, which unrolling speed . unrolling at breakneck speed. we're not actually designed as humans in touch this humans to in touch with this many people alone, all of their

opinions . many people alone, all of their opinions. mental health services are really . people are under are really. people are under supported and everybody they can't support their friends family in the way that they'd like to. so it's no that we're not exactly feeling sparkly. okay. so that was the downside. but what can we do now to make ourselves feel more happy, what we've got , what control do we we've got, what control do we have? okay so i always say don't search happiness, search relief. right? so we can easily find relief in a bottle of wine necessarily relieve the next morning right. so it's about finding relief in that are healthy . so the first thing you healthy. so the first thing you know with mental health, the most important thing is boundanes. most important thing is boundaries . so i think with boundaries. so i think with boundanes boundaries. so i think with boundaries have to three levels of are with of boundaries are boundary with yourself world. so that yourself in the world. so that is kind of how much social media and much you consume and how much news you consume because course fear is because of course fear is addictive. and opposed the addictive. and as opposed to the nervous again , the second nervous system again, the second boundary is with other people in your you know if you've your life so you know if you've got energy if you want got energy vampires if you want to an unpaid therapist people to be an unpaid therapist people

draining then it's draining you that one, then it's boundanes draining you that one, then it's boundaries i always boundaries yourself. i always say are difficult to say good habits are difficult to form but easy to live with. bad habhs form but easy to live with. bad habits easy form, difficult habits are easy form, difficult to it's about to live with. so it's about bonding yourself. so bonding with yourself. so getting enough rest, what you're eating, what you drinking, you know how, you're treating yourself basically because if you're in good physical, yourself basically because if you're in good physical , that's you're in good physical, that's going to support your emotional mental as well. the next thing is about, i think with we could have all these different worries and it all gets contained in one bit. and one of the most important things we can is separate out. we've all locus of control. that's what in control. that's what we're in charge of. got the things charge of. we've got the things the we can influence, such the areas we can influence, such as might choose to as what we might choose to campaign on we've got campaign on and then we've got things can do nothing things that we can do nothing about then to just about and then we have to just let go. but but what you're let that go. but but what you're saying is we do have control. we do have some controls, that there that we our there are things that we our control and on those. control and we focus on those. then we can't get happy. not exactly so it's almost like a filing system really of recognising what you're in charge of what you can influence and just have to let go

and what you just have to let go of. worrying about the of. because worrying about the things can't control was one things we can't control was one of the fastest ways to make ourselves exactly. ourselves unhappy. exactly. exactly what your exactly so what are your quickfire top tips then? quickfire top tips. so you know, it's about doing things that make you happier. okay. so having good boundaries, having really good boundaries, protecting all protecting yourself from all the negative stuff and fear, spending with people , love spending time with people, love making you know , what making sure you, you know, what makes what makes you joyful , makes what makes you joyful, know, time know, spending some time connecting in with things, connecting in with those things, really looking yourself protecting from the protecting yourself from the difficulties and things that are going and as well that i, you going on and as well that i, you know, when we're going through a hard time, most important thing to that will to remember is that it will pass. might like pass. it might pass like a kidney. the biggest thing kidney. that's the biggest thing about me as a great way of putting it. but it will pass and i think that's what people need to hear it. yeah, because it's just been this relentless onslaught, isn't it? and so it's just important to keep just so important to keep protecting what's protecting ourselves from what's going these going on. so having these boundanes going on. so having these boundaries for yourself around what's going on is one of the most important things. connecting with what makes you feel joyful and purpose is

really important as well so purpose main i'm hearing here purpose of main i'm hearing here aren't connecting with what makes you feel happy, which you know what i'm like. i'm just a joy know what i'm like. i'm just a joy seeker. i love feeling happy and and, surrounding and joyous and, surrounding myself people are myself with people that are going and what was going to do that. and what was the next one you said that was, you know, sense purpose. you know, think the thing know, i think here's the thing as you know what's as well. when, you know what's happened with, you know, with the lockdowns all got so shunted. kind shunted. we've got these kind of four the fizzle good four horsemen of the fizzle good defence methods. we've all of fight and flight, but we also have these defences called have these other defences called freeze so a lot of freeze and fawns so a lot of people in fight, people have got stuck in fight, so getting constantly so they're getting constantly angry twitter, etc. angry arguing on twitter, etc. we flight we get stuck. the flight response . so we're getting response. so we're getting anxious. can't sleep, we get anxious. we can't sleep, we get obsessive compulsive and we've got freeze, which is people got freeze, which is when people tend and then tend get depressed and then we've , which is when we've got form, which is when people a lot of people people go into a lot of people pleasing. so we a lot of pleasing. so we saw a lot of that on with covid of that going on with covid of acquiescing getting very, acquiescing, just getting very, very everything and very scared about everything and we to doing is we always want to be doing is working ourselves into working get ourselves into something psychological something the psychological space window of space called the window of tolerance. where tolerance. now that's where we cool, collect with me for
