UKC Interview - Lock Down- British Government’s Psychological Attack On The Public

UK Column Podcasts

Following Rishi Sunak’s recent attack on the UK Government’s COVID-19 lockdown policies and his claim that scientists had too much influence, Brian Gerrish interviews psychotherapist Dr Christian Buckland, who warns of the dangers of the use of applied psychology for political purposes. His vital analysis covers the dangers of created fear in the public mind, the dangerous use of fear and guilt messaging, three word slogans, the adverse impact of psychology on informed consent and the back room policy makers in SAGE and SPI_B who acknowledged risks, but appear not to have taken steps to mitigate them. Dr Buckland highlights key documents exposing the government’s malicious use of applied psychology and suggests there is a need for a full public inquiry into the political use of psychology during the COVID-19 pandemic and during the subsequent drive for widespread vaccinations.
