A chat with west of Scotland anti-lockdown political hopeful Jonathan Rainey

Jonathan Rainey is campaigning on an anti-lockdown Libertarian platform in the May Scottish Parliament elections. The 27-year-old, a high-achiever with high-functioning autism, is standing for the Dumbarton constituency and also for the West of Scotland regional list. Jonathan’s platform offers real change for the Scottish people at a time when the main political parties are almost indistinguishable in their policies. Our conversation covered many different topics, including lockdowns, vaccination, face masks, freedom of speech, war and foreign policy, central banks, Hayek, and even litter-picking. Transcript and time stamps to follow soon.

Is the UK still a free country? We're more controlled than ever before, our so-called democracy is deeply flawed and our politicians are like puppets. I'm Natalie Minnis, and I try to think critically, to see past the political manipulation and propaganda. It's not about left and right, or black and white. I also like to use lessons from the past to help us think about where our future might be heading. Governments have been herding us like sheep recently, and they've been steering us in the direction of an enormous economic crisis. I think we need more decentralisation, and we need to turn off our TVs, turn on our minds and start thinking for ourselves. I would like to share my ideas and learn from others. I hope you will join me on my learning curve. My website is imaginingfreedom.co.uk
