I've read and watched a lot of his stuff over maybe the last 10-15 years, and whilst some can be quite 'out-there' and I most certainly don't agree with everything he goes on about, there is a lot of substance in a lot of the things he does talk about, especially in the last couple of videos he's released. His latest videos have been censored and taken down from youtube/facebook/vimeo almost as fast as they go up - whatever happened to free speech in this country? His videos aren't full of hate and they aren't asking for a revolution - so why are they being taken down so quickly?
And the things he talks about such as almost dystopian-esque surveillance and apps monitoring our every move and interaction with other people are happening around the world right now in places like China and Russia. Social interaction apps where you are 'scored' on your behaviour that only 2 years in Black Mirror episodes seemed crazy, are now actual real. There is 100% a push for a fully cashless system, and talks of a global and mandatory vaccine are real. Spain last week authorised tracking of all GPS phone data without user consent. These laws quickly passed through without the usual process are very unlikely to ever go away now. I think everyone should view it with an open mind rather than being immediately dismissive of what he says because of a rogue appearance on Wogan 20 years ago. There is an element of truth in what he talks about, and taking everything we read in the latest 'breaking news' tabloid headline as gospel is equally as gullible as hanging on every word David Icke says. There is undoubtedly a terrible thing going on in the world right now, but we also need to be aware how the landscape we live in is being changed at the same time.
I consider myself an intelligent, rational and educated individual with a decent job and a 'normal' life - I'm definitely not some tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy nut who spends my whole life squirrelled away reading about the latest conspiracy theory. I think it is good to approach these things with an open mind.
