Discussing Infiltration
on the Delingpod
On 28th May 2026 I appeared on James Delingpole’s podcast to raise questions about satirical cartoonist Bob Moran and other prominent figures in the post-lockdown freedom movement. I also took the opportunity to outline to Delingpole’s audience various ways of recognising infiltrators and controlled opposition.
This discussion took place before I had written my recent articles on the ongoing questions raised by Bob Moran’s celebration of unremarkable X user, Ed the Techie.

Hey Francis - I couldn't help but write to Rachel after she posted on her Substack. In case you haven't seen it, here it is and so far she has remained weirdly silent. Hello Rachel - I’ve followed you since your first video on YT, was it 2020? I was so relieved to see an ex Dragon who could see through the nonsense. Since then your life has been through many ups and downs but I have always believed you to be honest, reflecting your latest name update, Rachel Elnaugh Eternal Love. I hope you will understand therefore that your post regarding the curious case of Eddie the Tech and Bob Moran caused me to take a sharp intake of breath. May I ask if you have read Francis’s post from beginning to end ? My feeling is that you haven’t since it would be impossible to accuse Francis of being an idiot if you had. Believe me, I never wanted to feel any doubt in Bob’s integrity but Francis presents the facts (to date) so clearly and in such detail that it is impossible not to. Your post, alongside Jake Fern whose comments also took my breath away due to his totally unnecessary aggression and belittling, will result in my no longer watching any of his future videos on UK Column. I don’t expect him to care about that in the slightest, but if other viewers like me feel the same, perhaps he will have to reflect on his actions and for that I can only hope. It is at times like this that the true nature of every individual is revealed and I am deeply saddened to say I can no longer believe you are walking your talk.
Hey Francis
I bumped into Daz of the Lightpaper at the Mycelium event in Northampton last weekend. We had a chat about all the current shenanigans and he said he’d emailed a response to you regarding your questions about him, but that it hadn’t been posted anywhere. So in the interests of openness I’m going to post it here……
Hi Francis,
Your take on RDH investigation into Manchester was why i stopped following you and Miri - you got it wrong there in my opinion, and still do. Maybe i'll be wrong about this too but i still don't think so at this time.
Yes i didn't want to believe Bob was CO but turns out he is. So i defended him and now am utterly disgusted but unsurprised.
And yes, i think James Delingpole is in the same boat. CO. Not sure whether you do or not but i stand by my statement.
I don't pay to subscribe to anyone on substack so i couldn't comment on your excellent dissection of Moran; feel free to repost/republish this reply - and question further if you like, only one thing - my surname has one T so please don't use Wikipedia for your info sources, ta.
Also…John Mappin invited me and my family down to Camelot Castle to stay for the weekend because of The Light paper in 2021 or 22,not sure exactly.
We went, had a great time, chatted for half an hour on the Sunday night and when i made it obvious that 1) The Light wasn't for sale at any price and 2) Jesus Christ is the only Lord and Saviour, he got disinterested and i have never heard from him since. I am no longer on Facebook even if old profiles are.
I did nearly meet Nigel Farage on that trip but cba and went to bed. His mistress was pretty awake to the vaccines, but no response from him to what i told her, obviously.
I'm a busker from North Manchester mate, i have no connections to anyone and have never even been offered the king's shilling - maybe their profiling is pretty spot on and they know they'd get told where to stick it?
Anyway, i still think Rich D Hall is genuine and being hung out to dry while fellow genuine truthers are leaving him swinging, which pisses me right off - what if that happened to you?
Maybe i'm too trusting, but whatever.
Peace,
Darren.
