‘Is the world secretly run by 12-foot-tall shapeshifting lizards?
It’s a surprisingly complex issue — or at least it has been since David Icke first announced his theory on prime-time TV back in 1991.
That’s not really because more than a minority consider Icke to be right, however. It’s mainly down to the ongoing debate (reported on brilliantly by Jon Ronson about a decade ago) about whether Icke’s use of “reptile” is a codeword, or whether he really does mean “reptile”.
Either way, despite the outlandish nature of the claim, it appears its still proving a headache for those in power. One way or another.’
