Sir Desmond Angus Swayne is a British politician, Euroskeptic and hero of the CCP pandemic, who has served as the Tory Party Member of Parliament for New Forest West since 1997.
Swayne was a prominent critic of the medical tyranny forced on the British people by the UK Government during the CCP pandemic (2020-2023).[1] For his anti-lockdown stances, Swayne was accused by biased mainstream media outlets such as Sky News of "spreading conspiracy theories".[2]
Views
Abortion and ethics
On abortion, Desmond Swayne had, as of January 2024, voted 24 times with the pro-life lobby and never against it, abstaining from only one vote on abortion.[3] On abortion Swayne wrote in December 2022, "What escapes the judgement of the promoters of a ‘human right to abortion’ is that there is more than one human life to be considered".[4]
CCP pandemic
During the Chinese Communist Party pandemic (or COVID-19 pandemic) of the early 2020s, Swayne was a harsh critic of the totalitarian response by the UK government in response to it. Swayne argued in early December 2020 that then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson was leading “the most authoritarian government [in Britain] since the 1650s”, in reference to the Protectorate under the Purtian ruler Oliver Cromwell.[5]
