Coronavirus: Ofcom formally probes David Icke TV interview

a reply to: NotSoBigG

Okay, I’ve admitted I don’t know a ton about him. But I watched the entire interview in question. He was simply repeating points I’ve already heard throughout the last few weeks and tying them all together.

For example, the idea that a “virus” is simply a cell secreting toxins based on any number of health or lifestyle reasons. I have heard other medical professionals talk about this exact same thing.

So, fine. You hate the guy. But all I’ve seen on this thread so far are ad-hominem attacks. Virtually no one has attacked the evidence he laid out in his interview. That’s irritating to me, because I don’t disagree with you that the guy is a loon, but maybe consider actually attacking his current argument instead of just insulting him. There are people who just want more information on the subject and name calling literally does nothing.

Obviously you’re entitled to your own opinion, I just wonder why no one wants to actually attack the evidence he presented.

I've read a lot and watched a lot of David Icke's stuff over the years.

I don't much care what anyone else thinks about him, I find a lot of truth there, but even if everything he says is flat out bollox, there is no reason for OFCOM to go wading in.

It strikes me as though we are entering a period where the only information we are allowed to access will be the ones that the government is ok with, just like when you have the Guardian squealing about fake news and stuff, like they never lied, huh? But they don't mean them, they mean people on the web, the sort of people who spread word about how, say, Hillary laughed about getting that rapist off and similar things that you would NEVER see in the regular press because it doesn't fit with their narrative of Trump bad, Hillary good. There are plenty more examples, that one was just foremost in my mind.

To be fair, all the son of christ/God and all the doomsmongering around the millennium didn't help his case. To me he's just a famous guy wearing the old "End of the world is nigh" sign around his neck. I don't personally hate him, he might be a nice fella who would do any of his neighbours a favour, I don't know. Call it the alarm bells of life experience ringing like a church spire whenever I hear him speak. I wish the guy no ill. He just needs a hug I suppose? a reply to: LetTheColdCome

I think its Great that Office of Communications, Ofcom.
are looking into this to see if there is any truth to it.

IF only.............
but they have a agender to discred it.
even it they did find it was ALL tru they would NOT say so.

Now That is the truly bad thing.

a reply to: NotSoBigG

That makes sense. I can empathize with that because honestly I do think there is too much doom and gloom despair porn.

he's giving his opinion. free speech plain and simple. Watch it or don't but his right to speak should be respected.
Personally i take icke with a pinch of salt. sure he's dramatic and heavy on the conspiracy but thats his job, that is how he makes his living. But there is also enough information he presents to be used as a jumping off point for your own research and most of the time he's there or there abouts. manufactured pandemic
Whether he believes the lizard thing or whether it is a device i dunno, but it's probably one of the reasons he's been left to do his thing without being suicided. I reckon julian assange is wishin he'd gone down the lizard route about now.

We've had the problem and the hysterical reaction. I dread to think what the solution is gonna be.

I've never really been too sure what to make of David Icke. He definitely makes some interesting points. His stuff about shadow governments and our civil rights being stripped all makes sense to me.

On the other hand, he's always talking about random people who have given him information and i find myself having to take his word for it a lot of the time.

Sometimes i wonder if he's just the UK version of Alex Jones, i.e. he's paid for by the far right.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

i agree 100 percent.

who are now in full swing. we really must stop this soon. or.... we go to hell too.

I suspect it’s due to physical attacks, even a stabbing, on operators installing 5G masts.

a reply to: SprocketUK
What if someone has been stabbed because of his nonsense?

a reply to: and14263

I suspect it’s due to physical attacks, even a stabbing, on operators installing 5G masts.

Operators and installers have faced harassment and intimidation.
Quite a few masts have been set on fire and vandalised.

No-one has been assaulted and definitely no-one has been 'stabbed'.

The things is, I can absolutely guarantee that if 'they' get away with censoring David Icke and others from broadcasting their views on TV the next step will be the monitoring and censorship of the internet starting with Conspiracy Theory and Alternative websites such as ATS.

It's already coming into place Europe-wide later this year for online news content/video news though the impartiality and accuracy clauses non-internet broadcasters have to adhere to don't apply. They cover protection of children, ban on incitement to terrorism and product placement/sponsorship. Non news based videos on streaming services and social media will be under regulation of the Audio Visual Media Services.

IPSO and IMPRESS are in charge of regulating online text-based news for accuracy, but opinion is completely free and protected under national and international law.

......but opinion is completely free and protected under national and international law.

For now.

a reply to: and14263

Well, hate speech, encouraging people to commit violence on each other is already illegal.

If you are talking about crazies using his theories as excuses to commit crimes, then that's on them, not him.

Does this picture give any thoughts ?

By looking how Chinese Communist Party Media Influence is working, in China and abroad, and then read what the Ofcom in UK is doing .....If i would be very paranoid here i could even start thinking can the Chinese have an influence on to what is allowed in UK and what is not ?


CCP seems to be quite interested to influence on content in abroad..
