Thought long and hard about posting this, but on balance, there are lots of well informed posters on this board who like to get their teeth into topics and research stuff from all sides of the debate.
I have been trying to follow all sides of the ‘discussion’ throughout but one of the things I have difficulty with is the fact that those with a more legitimate and sensible opposing view are often mainly given a platform on right wing media sites (by people I absolutely cannot stand or give any credibility to, such as the vile Toby Young and James Delingpole) or conspiracy theory websites. I think it’s pretty apparent that I am most definitely well to the left of centre so that’s a conflict for me.
However, looking beyond that, and at the message rather than where it is being delivered from, I keep seeing more and more that simply doesn’t add up and more and more from Dr Mike Yeadon that makes sense.
He speaks well, is legitimate and clearly well informed in the topic, although he often comes across as arrogant and steadfastly ‘I’m right, you’re wrong’ in a lot of things, which doesn’t help his cause.
However, the content of what he says makes sense and he is clearly very passionate and taking a big risk and putting himself up there for humiliation of he’s wrong.
So I’m interested to know what others on here think, whose views I respect and who like to look at facts and research, such as
@bear66,
@Laughing,
@Matt,
@Cambsred @Liamo etc etc, and if anybody is able to pull what he says apart I’d be very interested. I have listened to this podcast (and read other stuff he’s put out there) sceptically at first, and I’ve tried to question what he says but I can’t help thinking he is speaking a lot of sense? Am I wrong??
And yes, I know the podcast is from a very right wing character who I massively dislike, but it’s purely the interviewee I’m interested in.
Anyway, it’s a loooong listen but is, I think, very worthwhile -
And for balance, here is the only thing I’ve found that tackles Yeadon’s high false positive claims, although I don’t think it’s very clear or conclusive -
