Psychologist, author, and television presenter Nigel Latta has died at 58 after living with cancer for just over a year.

Latta, who inspired many through his books, documentaries, and series such as Beyond the Darklands and Politically Incorrect Parenting, was remembered by his wife Natalie Flynn as fighting his illness with “enormous bravery” before passing away surrounded by family.

Diagnosed in 2024 with inoperable stomach cancer, Latta had briefly experienced remission earlier this year, expressing hopes for more time with his loved ones. Known for tackling difficult social issues and making psychology accessible to the public, Latta’s most recent book Lessons on Living is set to be released posthumously in October.

  1. The ‘highly educated and experienced’ members of society are dropping dead from the Covid Jabs.
    The PTB view this as not being problematic, as A.I and Robots will be taking over.
    Such digital entities do not get cancer, die, or require piss breaks..!

    This says it all. Get #vaccinated. Don’t wait. There are lots of people who don’t get the vaccine and then regret that decision in ICU when it’s too late. You can have your second dose three weeks after the first. Make sure the people you care about are protected.”

    Wonder if Nigel had any regrets

  3. I do believe Nigel had a good heart and I am very sorry for his loss.

    He did unfortunately became part of the covid carry on.

    Read through the comments. This one for example:

    “Yip I’m all vaccinated, I’m a health professional essential worker for older adults. My choice to help protect them, and I certainly don’t want to clogg up a hospital bed that would prevent someone getting their long awaited elective surgery, road accidents, cancer patients etc. This is what will happen when the unvaccinated get sick and demand a hospital bed 🤔😑 taking away other peoples health care treatment “

    One thing is for sure there is not ONE unvaccinated person who regrets their decision.

    RIP Nigel, I know you meant well and thought you were doing the right thing. You were a good man.

  4. They thought they were doing the right thing. Being highly educated doesn’t mean you are smarter than someone else. It means you have learned the procedure on how to do a job, and you passed the exams.

    I recently saw a clip on a man called John who had their car brakes replaced by a friend called Paul.

    Paul said you are so clever, you can fix all sorts of things like plumbing, power plugs and you do a great job of decorating your home. You can help with legal matters. You know just so many things. Where did you go to learn this stuff?

    John said he grew up in a poor family and left school at 14. If you wanted something fixed or made, you did it yourself. If you had a problem with someone, you talked to them about their behaviour towards you.

    Educated people are qualified people. But clever people are clever to work it out. Clever enough to work it out that vaxcines can’t be produced in 3 months. Clever enough to have learned what others did to them in the past. Clever enough not to balance trust against red or orange flags.

    I like Nigel very much. He was kind, generous and seemed to be a genuine chap. Rest in peace Nigel. We love very much what you passed on to us. We are very sorry what the government tricked you into doing.

    The people in government are conditioned to do whatever they are told to do. They are all implicated in the largest crime in all history.

  5. I’d never heard of this guy, but a quick search found him pushing the vax with that dirtbag Helen Petraous whatever her name is and some other loser in a Zoom call. Sorry, but zero sympathy from me.

  6. Sorry, I have no sympathy. The government didn’t trick him into doing anything (I wasn’t tricked and I’m no rocket scientist). And his comments about the unvaccinated ‘demanding’ hospital beds have turned out to be completely unfounded. It is all the vaxxed clogging up the hospitals with their sickness.

  7. Over the years Nigel became the media/ government psychologist mouthpiece who always marched to the official narrative on all topics. Pity he didn’t stand up for the psychological damage being done, to especially young and old, from being isolated and masked for months on end., let alone all the other nonsense that damaged our country’s psyche. Unfortunately he probably lost his life from his blind faith in the narative.

  8. He was a gifted man and his Darklands was a must-watch. It’s a pity he didn’t use his critical thinking skills during Covid and just became one of the sheep. RIP.

    • Probably one of the most chilling things during the whole “pandemic” was the sheer number of super smart, super qualified, “educated” people I know becoming complete dumbf**ks because “the tv told me so” 😑

      • The higher the education, the higher the level of importance you place on education.

        If you want people to respect you and take your highly educated opinion in your area of expertise, then it seems you must blindly believe the highly educated opinion from another area of expertise…
        …even from dumbf**k’s in white lab coats.

        It seems excessive pride may be the cause of self delusion. Or something like that.

        • You’re not wrong. One of my parents has 2 masters degrees and one other degree, one from Oxford university. During the pandemic this person turned I to the biggest vax tard and banned me from the house for nearly 3 years. I am in my mid 50s and haven’t been anything other than a faithful and honest daughter. Despite me offering papers and actual Pfizer documents, I was belittled and yelled at.

          So yes, these so called smart people, the academics were the worst of them all. Seemingly they know how to repeat information but are unable to any actual broad research.

          Never had enough gumption or humility to apologise either.

    • He is a trained psychologist. How is it that he and all other psychologists didn’t say boo about the psychological manipulation of the populace? They are trained in cognitive behavioural therapy. Surely some of them realised it was being used to modify peoples behaviour, and not in a good way.

      RIP Nigel. Being kind, as you say is a great way to treat people, and when genuine does great things. Jacindas type of kindness, not so much.
