| Welcome to The Delling Pod with me, James Dellingpole. | |
| I've got a really great podcast, as per usual, lined up for you today. | |
| It's with a fellow spectator contributor, Robert Jackman. | |
| And Robert Jackman, like me, is a lockdown sceptic, and he tells me all about his adventures in breaking the lockdown. | |
| And he tells me other interesting things besides, like, for example, how to get really good seats in the theatre for not very much money. | |
| Anyway, I think you're going to enjoy this podcast very much. | |
| If you want to listen to it now, do please subscribe on my Patreon page. | |
| I'm building up a really good community of like-minded people. | |
| I call it the Dellingpole Cafe or the Cafe Dellingpole. | |
| It's like... | |
| It's like a cafe where the coffee's really good and I choose the music and everyone likes my music and everyone there is simpatico. | |
| So please join my Patreon and don't miss out. | |
| Otherwise, of course, you can wait a few days and listen to the podcast free. | |
| Thank you for listening. | |
| Bye. | |
| ...to enable them to have functioning businesses. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And I think it's not just the economy. | |
| I mean, I think the thing that scares me is just how little discussion there is About the moral value of freedom in itself. | |
| A few weeks ago, we'd effectively criminalised going outside, and you had people talking about phoning their neighbours and reporting people to the police. | |
| You were having people moved on in parks for sitting down on a bench. | |
| And I think even leaving the economy aside, they're just, apart from a few voices, you know, Jonathan Sumption was very good on this, the former Supreme Court judge. | |
| You know, there really didn't seem to be a sense that people should be free to make responsible decisions. | |
| And by all means, you know, nudge them towards making those decisions. | |
| Like, you look at what, you know, what's going on in Sweden. | |
| They are social distancing. | |
| You know, they are shielding older people. |
