00:00

would you describe yourself as a

00:02

conspiracy

00:03

theorist well um I look at what

00:07

officialdom tells us is happening and

00:10

check it out and if you can back that up

00:13

with information it's not a theory and

00:16

there are situations where you think I

00:18

think this could be this or could be

00:20

that that that could be happening that's

00:21

a theory but much of it is backed up by

00:25

hard factual information and

00:28

interestingly when you look at the

00:30

dictionary definition of the very word

00:33

conspiracy we're drowning in them what

00:36

one one is the action of plotting or

00:38

conspiring I mean that's happening all

00:40

the time give an example of a conspiracy

00:43

at the moment well um ironically we've

00:46

had George Osborne this week um trying

00:48

to ridicule conspiracies involving the

00:51

EU by likening them to believing in the

00:54

Loch Ness monster and in the same week

00:57

we've had the Daily Mail exposing the

00:59

prime Minister for conspiring in effect

01:03

with big business to frighten the public

01:06

into staying in the EU while publicly to

01:10

Parliament as well saying that um he

01:14

would come out if the negotiations

01:16

renegotiations didn't work that's a

01:18

conspiracy is that a conspiracy or is it

01:19

just

01:21

politicians doing the time oner thing of

01:23

being less than honest with us well if

01:26

you're telling the public that you will

01:30

U have the option of coming out if you

01:32

do not renegotiate with the EU the way

01:35

you want and you then you don't do that
