Great Article with many useful links. Gove gave tyranny a run for its money, and more besides. Freed from the shackles of 'collective responsibility' is he now...freeing himself from the 'collective guilt' more like. Another who 'sold his soul' with alacrity, a man without heart, a man who jettisoned all of the moral principles he might have had left as he joined in with the lies and psychological manipulation. The victims of that are still being counted.

If only he could subscribe to Hart and recognise what he has lost ( never likely to regain).... his humanity.

Among other things Michael Andrew Gove, his full name, anagrams to:

Graced venom a while

Ache demon lawgiver

Mad evangelic whore

He exposed his inner self.

Not sure I want to 'like' that post!!!! But thanks for pointing it out!

I quite understand. He was born Graeme Andrew Logan (he was adopted). A quick look at the anagrams suggests these may be a bit better. But in any event perhaps he does have these 2 sides!

I voted with my Spectator subscription cancellation and this feedback:

I can't believe The Spectator has appointed as its new editor a man, who in my opinion, should be facing trial for his part in one of the greatest ever crimes against humanity. Rather than enjoying such a prestigious position now he should be being held to account for the enormous damage caused to our economy, the mental health and outlook for our population of all age groups and most importantly the significant deaths and serious injury caused to both our vulnerable and healthy alike via the care home and hospital “Covid” protocols and the coercive Astra Zeneca, Pfizer and Moderna unsafe and ineffective “Covid vaccines” programme. How can he sleep at night let alone swan around at the helm of The Spectator. Disgraceful, disgusting and totally depressing. This shameful decision leaves me no option but to cancel my subscription forthwith.

“What must happen for evil to get a grip on a person, or on a country, and what does it take to defeat it? --JK Rowling, July 2020

Says a BILLIONAIRE woman from SCOTLAND who has point blank refused to draw ANY attention to nor comment on the SCOTTISH COVID-19 inquiry which clearly reveals a panicdemic of rampant medical neglect and mass democide. Riiiight. Another so called ''dissident hero'' anyone with an active braincell on duty can put in the bin.

Yes you have it right, look at their actions. Not one "dissident hero" has fought to change the system, they all work within it. They obfuscate and mislead.

Re: “When Michael Gove claimed on 27 March 2020 that “we are all at risk… the virus does not discriminate”,

Who exactly was running this show? Over the countries? Who was pulling the strings?

Never blindly trust anyone's word who is in a position of authority. I have heard it say that in order for a society to function we need trust, I trust my family and friends and to a certain extent my neighbours, because I know them. Other than that anyone who is out of that circle needs to be questioned and their actions observed carefully. One thing I have learned over the past four years is to apply a great deal of scepticism to our politicians and institutions, most importantly do not take their word on trust, watch carefully their actions and the result of those actions.

Thank you so much - an insightful aide memoire.

A friend maintained that many of our 'decision makers' are on drugs. That would explain how they can make such absurd, harmful pronouncements and sleep at night.

An awful lot of people are on some kind of prescription medication.

Which is probably why so many believed the decision makers, they are two of a kind.

Liked.

Yes! It's all making sense now! lol.

If Gove did not know what he was doing he was an idiot. In any event he has lied like all the other scumbag politicians who went along with the Covid nonsense.

Still, one can argue he and the others did wake up the sleepers by their ridiculous gove-rment decrees which were always GUIDANCE as I keep saying.

And it was all a test of intelligence, could the masses spot the clues or not that they wee being scammed.

Those that haven't yet grasped the obvious clearly suffer from Long Stupid.

The Australian Spectator is resolutely freedom based with Rowan Dean as editor. The English Spectator is unreadable with exception of Douglas Murray , Melissa Kite, Toby Young and Lionel Shriver. Gove being editor is a backward step.

Can't disagree with this.

I have read 2 pieces today that information is coming out of Germany and Holland that Covid/lockdown was a military operation driven by NATO. We have always known that the military took over in the USA (Deborah Birx). That was not visible in the UK but maybe it just has not yet become visible - so maybe Gove was just following orders in 2020?

Have you read this?

Similar (and not incompatible) with Deborah's thesis.

I can't help thinking that lockdown was a 'chaos agent' distraction (i.e. create a "Hobson's Choice" scenario, either way helps make the injections look good as 'saviour')... look at Sweden - massive uptake of the injection, but low stringency NPIs.
