    I cant beliece I used to think this dude possessed some intelligence. Sad to see.

    Not surprised to see a celebrity swindler engage in conspiracy nonsense given the times we live in

    good old Eddie…still giving “good advice”. I think his much more famous namesake summed up Eddie’s state best:
    A man’s conscience and his judgment are the same thing, and, as the judgment, so also the conscience may be erroneous

    Read this earlier (having hit refresh/stop loading several times), basically he needed a new gig. He fecked up so badly with his property predictions no one wanted to know him in Ireland. What better way to gain a new audience than go Conspiracy on Twitter and cultivate the American market of old white angry men.

    COVID is no longer a conspiracy theory at this stage.

    A **landmark** South Korean population-based cohort study, published in *Biomarker Research*, found associations between **COVID-19 vaccination** and higher 1-year risks of several cancers.

    The large-scale analysis (over 8 million individuals) examined recipients of mRNA (e.g., Pfizer, Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (e.g., AstraZeneca, J&J).

    **Key findings** include:

    * Statistically significant increased incidence of thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and prostate cancers post-vaccination.
    * Risks observed across vaccine types, with adjusted hazard ratios showing consistent associations.

    The study suggests a potential role for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in disrupting cellular pathways, possibly contributing to accelerated (“turbo”) cancer progression.

    I happen to be unfortunately very aware of Eddie’s eh fall from grace.
    But for others please don’t just take the word of a headline and post lazy responses, try looking up actual information and criticize from an informed position not ignorance.
    Political Far Right individuals seems like a collection of failures that got radicalized over COVID or before. Trying to be relevant while blaming everyone else for your failures then getting terminally online seems to rot their brains.
    Selling hate is always good business I guess.

    I’m not sure there’s really much to poor old Eddie Hobbs. He was a finance guy who got into the consumer affairs side of things, got some tv work, and was never nearly as bright as he thought he was.

    When things went badly he got involved in right wing politics and it naturally didn’t go anywhere. See above re Hobbs not being as being as he thinks he is.

    Then, like many a stupid, he allowed his brain to be rotted away by his phone.

    Haven’t heard of this gremlin in years, nice to see he’s still acting the wank

    God before I clicked I has already guessed the bingo card of items Hobbs was now obsessing over as a conspiracy loon. 

    It’s always the same with these right wing types; imagine if for 5 minutes they got their head outta social media and started talking about the price of … I dunno, bread or childcare – then people might actually listen. Suppose there’s more money to be made fondling each other’s balls on the Culture War podcast circuit.

    My uncle worked with him in the Insurance sector years ago. Said he was a nobb then and is a nobb now.

  11. He’s such a nutcase. I’ve heard him cite Grok as his main source of truth. He seems to target women as an audience and claims we’re in a “matriarchal” society to convince them to buy his book.

    He spends most of his energy painting a vague image of globalist agendas while worshipping “disruptors” like Elon Musk.

    “…if you had bought into this Conspiracy Theory twelve months ago, you’d have saved two hundred pounds..”
