As previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, David Icke has also had his Facebook page removed. https://twitter.com/davidicke/status/1256676872664027138 He used his channel, which had more than 900,000 subscribers at the time it was taken down, to push controversial unproven claims that coronavirus is linked to 5G mobile phone networks. Conspiracy theories have been linked to a spate of attacks on 5G masts during the pandemic.
