Well, while looking for something else entirely, I found someone who apparently fits. And it appears to include a bit of an interesting backstory stretching back to the Occupy Movement. I have a feeling it might produce some reveals about the current eco-terrorism in the form of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.
So let's start here, 24 February 2021, COVID lockdown and vaccines.
COVID PASSPORTS? GUESS I'M STAYING ON THE ISLAND
This is Charles Veitch, he films random stuff on the streets of Manchester, England. The first time I saw a video of his was during the COVID lockdowns, I'm guessing I must have got the link via a UK Discord channel I was following for general UK updates.
I watched some of Charlie's videos, but I soon tired of him. Some things I found out about him; I guess firstly, he was talking about COVID on youtube, and he still had a channel. It was created on 19 Jul 2006, and the claim on the front page is there are 2K videos. That would be some loss for that channel to be arbitrarily deleted for mentioning the vaccine an a disparaging way. And secondly, a lot of his videos are him hanging around police, and he's got a tone about him, like he's untouchable. Curious.
Now, I didn't know anything about the back story of Charles Veitch, but while doing a search for Danny Shine videos I was served up this video from 19 Dec 2019; so 'before COVID'.
THE FALSE ENLIGHTENMENT OF DANNY SHINE
In this video Charlie tells us he no longer thinks 911 was an inside job...I'll return to this in a later post. But this is where I find out Charlie did a double-act with Danny Shine for around 11 months, though in another video referenced, Danny says it was only a couple of months. Anyway, Charlie tells us in the above video, "I met Danny on May 1st 2009...London G20 stuff going on...he had a sign saying 'Everything is OK', I have a megaphone making false public statements...there was a fusion."
So we have Danny and Charlie as a team for a bit. What I find noteworthy is at the 8 minute mark, Charlie then goes on to tell us the partnership produced, the 'Love Police Official Movie', which I guess was a documentary of them megaphoning at a Occupy movement type protest; but interestingly, he states the German government funded it...that would be Angela Merkel's government.
LOVE POLICE: OFFICIAL MOVIE TRAILER (2013)
"WE GOT SOME FUNDING FROM THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT" from Charlie's own mouth.
Here is Danny and Charlie in action, from the Charles Veitch youtube channel, one of those 2K videos he's made. It was posted 8 January 2010, Gordon Brown being the UK Prime Minister, subsequently losing the May General Election, David Cameron's Conservatives then forming a Coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.
THE LOVE POLICE
One of the major projects that didn't get implemented when Labour lost office in 2010 was Labour's 'identity card' scheme...

GORDON BROWN'S BACK DOOR TO COMPULSORY ID CARDS
The Guardian, 29 September 2009
Something the PM forgot to mention: if you apply for a passport, or renew one, you will be registered on the national identity database
"And so, conference, I can say to you today: in the next parliament, there will be no compulsory ID cards for British citizens."
Gordon Brown's promise not to make identity cards compulsory for British citizens during the next parliament really should have read that they will be compulsory only if you want to leave the country or legally drive a car.
This is because every British citizen who renews or applies for a new passport will automatically be registered on the national identity database anyway.
This was made clear in June, when the new home secretary, Alan Johnson, completed his review of the future of the £4.9bn ID cards project by saying that Labour would not introduce legislation after the next general election making the scheme compulsory.
That was widely misreported as "Johnson drops ID cards". But his review left all the main elements of the national identity card scheme in place.
As critics pointed out at the time, the automatic inclusion on the national identity register of the details of anybody who renewed their passport – or, for that matter, their driving licence – amounted to introducing a compulsory identity card scheme by the back door.
There is no need for a new bill in parliament after the next election to allow MPs to vote on whether the scheme should become compulsory because the Home Office already plans to use obscure secondary legislation to introduce what they call a "designation order".
This will make passports, and possibly driving licences, "designated" documents under the terms of the 2006 Identity Cards Act and provide the legal authority to include the details of anyone applying for or renewing their passport on to the ID cards database. This is currently planned to come into effect from 2011.
Brown is right to say the ID card will not be compulsory for everybody during the next parliament, but it will in effect be so for the 80% of the population who hold a passport to leave the country.
James Hall, the chief executive of the Identity and Passport Service, has told me that is incorrect. He says you can leave the country without a passport; you just won't be able to get back in again when you come home.
Gordon Brown's promise to reduce the amount of information everyone will have to give for the new biometric passport to no more than what is on the current passport is a curious one. The Home Office has long dismissed claims that the combined biometric passport/ID card would have any additional information, such as criminal record, religion or other sensitive personal data. It has always maintained the new passport would contain no more than the personal details on the current one.
