Of the many revelations of the COVID-19 regime, one disturbing aspect is the use of online psychological warfare techniques to identify, isolate, and even destroy critics of the lockdowns and the so-called “vaccines.”
Recent reports from the United Kingdom have revealed the existence of an online influence operation dating back to 2011. Partnered with British Army intelligence, and with an alleged financial interest in profiting from the “COVID-19” regime, a group called the “Mutton Crew” has been seeking to ruin the lives of COVID-skeptic British doctors and even a member of Parliament.
In May 2024, former MP Andrew Bridgen announced he had been targeted by a member of the “Mutton Crew.” Bridgen has been an outspoken critic of mRNA “vaccines” and of the “COVID-19” regime generally.

In response the “grassroots civil liberty” group U.K. Freedom Campaign posted links to other suspected members – mentioning a possible connection to the U.K. Army intelligence’s covert 77th Brigade.
Yet the actions of the Mutton Crew date back several years, and their connection to British Army intelligence is well established.

A U.S. medical doctor publishing under a pseudonym called “Arkmedic” wrote a 2022 report on the Mutton Crew and their connection with British military intelligence.
Under a pen name of Dr. Ah Kahn Syed (“I can say it”), the anonymous medic produced a rundown on Substack of the methods, membership, and means of identification used by the psychological warfare group of 77th Brigade British Army intelligence.
Arkmedic, as he or she is known, noted the strange publication of a paper in the scientific journal Nature.
Authored by Viki Male PhD, noted for “her rampant push of the COVID vaccines in pregnancy,” the inclusion of Male’s work in the journal was noteworthy for her “having a very sparse research background at the time” in her field of flow cytometry – the detection and measurement of cells. Yet Arkmedic could offer an explanation for her work appearing in the prestigious Nature:
“[H]er intricate links (which I will now show) to the 77th brigade’s propaganda arm on twitter…” [sic]
This propaganda arm is the Mutton Crew, which, as Arkmedic explained, identifies itself online with the following:
(1) Stone head emojis
(2) Chinese 77 characters (that look like this: 七七)
(3) “Sarcastic” bios saying “77th apparently” or similar
(4) Recently – mouse emojis …
(5) Most importantly – having Swaledale Mutton Co as your top follows/followers
The Mutton Crew is headed by another flow cytometrist, Graham Bottley PhD, known as “Swaledale Mutton” on X (formerly Twitter). He also runs a live action role-playing game business called Arion Games and has authored “Fighting Fantasy” choose-your-own-adventure books.
As Arkmedic explains:
“Having been a recipient of the treatment that the “Mutton Crew” (aka Dr Bottley’s followers) dish out to people who disagree them (or with the government’s propaganda on COVID or the COVID vaccines), I can safely attest that the mutton swarm invariably descends on anybody that does not toe the party line.”
Professor Norman Fenton was another high-profile victim of the Mutton Crew, as he announced on X in September 2022:

The crew’s harassment and psyops were not confined to critics of the “COVID-19” regime, but have included dissidents more generally. Big Brother Watch in the U.K. reported in early 2023 that the Army’s 77th Brigade had been engaged in monitoring “online disinformation” in the U.K. Their January 2023 report “The UK’s Ministry of Truth” documented the extensive operations of “the secretive government units spying on your speech.”
Independent reporters like Arkmedic explained the Mutton Crew’s mode of operation – stating it is simply an arm of the British Deep State.
“In nearly all instances the accounts which are responsible for mass-reporting (in order to get your account removed from twitter) have account identifiers described above and every one has Swaledale Mutton as a follow/follower. Hence we call them the ‘mutton crew’. They are more specifically part of the disinformation arm of the British Army…”
Arkmedic’s pseudonym appears in a roll of honour of doctors suggested for the Nobel Peace Prize, for their fearless recommendation of ivermectin treatments for “COVID-19” infections. The list was published by France-Soir in June 2021, with mask, “vaccine,” and lockdown mandates still variously in force worldwide.
A brief history of online psyops
His or her work shows a pattern demonstrated in a piece by the anonymous journalist “John,” who writes as The Sentiment Inspector on Substack.
Explaining his or her need for anonymity, John said in a report on the 77th Brigade, “I’ve been asked many times about my identity and authenticity – questions I cannot answer right now due to ongoing criminal investigations.”
Whilst the anonymity of this account is understandable, the value of the material John covers speaks for itself. So far, this Substack is a comprehensive account of the methods used by the British Deep State to monitor and manipulate the public as unwitting players in a game.
John is not the only observer to see the COVID regime in this light. Dr. Daniel Armstrong, a U.K. consultant psychiatrist, was struck off the medical register in December 2024. In his hearing, a video was cited against him as evidence, in which he said the COVID regime was a “massive deception,” presenting the kind of gamified “fake reality” in whose production the Mutton Crew specialize.

John’s first post, from December 6, 2024, was titled “Inside the Dark World of Digital Manipulation and Harassment.” It situated the creation of the Mutton Crew in the broader context of the development of mass digital media.
Tracing the beginnings of digital manipulation technique, John goes back to the 2011 innovation of “interactive … choose your own adventure TV.”
“This interactive storytelling concept would give viewers the chance to ‘try life’ before settling on any given path, transforming traditional film viewing into a more participatory experience.”
Pioneered by John Irwin’s film production company TryLife, it gave rise to the popular U.K. TV series Black Mirror, whose dystopian visions of a digital world was rendered interactive in a 2018 episode called “Bandersnatch … offering viewers the power to control the actions of the protagonist.”
As John says, “Then came 2019, and with it, the global pandemic of COVID-19.”
John documents how social media “disruptors,” YouTubers, bloggers, and others such as “social capital behavior change ninja” Kirsty O’Callaghan were recruited by a team called Social Kind – to police and promote the state narrative of “COVID-19.”
Of course, there were ties to big business: “Emmy Coffey McCarthy, a social justice warrior and employee at META, helped align Social Kind’s operations with corporate interests.”
As John argues, “Together, they began to craft campaigns that manipulated public opinion, pushing narratives designed to serve corporate and political interests.”
