Matt Le Tissier makes bizarre claim that the government is controlling the weather

Matt Le Tissier makes yet another bizarre claim via social media, this time saying that the government is controlling the weather.

The 55 year old former Southampton player hinted that the government planned the 2020 lockdown to stop people going outside and enjoying the sunshine, as he moaned about the current ‘horrific’ weather across the UK.

The 55 year old posted it to his 650,000 followers on Twitter on Tuesday morning and since had thousands of likes, retweets, comments as well as millions of views.

He wrote: ‘This year’s weather so far has been horrific, wasn’t it lucky for the government that 4 years ago when they locked us down we had wall to wall sunshine for weeks on end. It’s almost like they planned it that way.’

His conspiracy theory then led to plenty of users expressing confusion and criticism, before Le Tissier added in another post: ‘The bots and trolls aren’t very good at reading are they?’

He went on to say: ‘Do they understand what lucky and almost actually mean?’

Le Tissier then shared a post from a Twitter user that said ‘human weather modification is a fact’ and called for people to ‘keep an open mind’ after the ‘last 4 years of lies’, as he added: ‘This is my stance’ with a finger pointing at the post.

He in recent years has been vocal about conspiracy theories, particularly those related to Covid.

Le Tissier was dismissed from his role as a pundit on Sky Sports in August 2020, and he later said that his departure was down to his opinions on Covid and his refusal to wear a BLM badge. See more on that HERE.

In 2021, he postponed anti-vaccine conspiracy theories online and then suggested a possible connection between the vaccine and footballers collapsing on the field.

During an episode of the Common Sense with Joey Barton podcast in February, Le Tissier accused authority figures of ‘hiding all sorts of information’ regarding potential links.

Le Tissier doubled down on his controversial beliefs about the Covid pandemic by claiming ‘PCR tests were the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind’ and that dying Covid patients in Italy ‘were actors’ while the government’s interference in people’s lives during lockdown was an ‘injustice’.

He issued several tweets criticising what he deemed to be an “overreaction” by the UK government and media, among others, opposing lockdowns and mask orders.

An image he posted on Twitter which implied a comparison between the Holocaust and having to wear masks during the pandemic was deleted.

In 2021, Le Tissier promoted unverified hypotheses, when he suggested that Christian Eriksen’s on-pitch cardiac arrest was an adverse reaction to being vaccinated, despite Eriksen not being vaccinated.

In November 2021 he faced faced criticism by epidemiologists, as one of several former professional footballers “demanding investigations into links” between onfield collapses and COVID vaccinations, after three footballers collapsed in one week.

In 2022, he talked about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, having previously sparked anger by asking the media’s coverage of the massacre of Ukrainian civilians by Russian troops with a retweet which has since been deleted.

Le Tissier also said that the media blew Russia’s massacre of Bucha out of proportion in 2022, and questioned the legitimacy of the 9/11 disaster.

His conspiracy theory on 9/11 was criticised by Jeff Stelling, who accused him of talking ‘absolute b*******’.

Le Tissier re-tweeted a post suggesting the media have 'lied' about certain events such as Russia's massacre of Bucha in 2022

Le Tissier then tried to distance himself from his posts by saying he does 'not advocate war'

Here’s how fans reacted on Twitter as Matt Le Tissier makes a bizarre claim that the government is controlling the weather…

@provincialputz: I like the idea that the government could be in any way competent at anything 😄

@growlers6: Self trained Doctor, chemist, psychologist, pilot, ships captain, weed pusher & now a meteorologist. 👏👏👏👏

@Hurrikeen: I see @mattletiss7 has taken his tinfoil hat views to stratospheric levels today? 😂😂

@robbiewritesie: Are the people who control the weather in the room with us now?

@McBoozieson: If the government wanted you to stay indoors, wouldn’t they make it rain, rather than being sunny?

@GianfrancoShoIa: Seems bullet proof this one, fair play Matt. Fess up @GOVUK

@LazyJam: What are you waffling on about mate?

@theposhfan: You’ve absolutely hit the nail on the head with this one mate. Said no one, ever.

@JonSpurling1: Oh Matt – can’t you just let us all remember you for your your amazing goals and your great punditry, and not for your inexplicable disappearances down conspiracy rabbit holes?

@OfficialVizeh: Yeah fair we need to do some more studies onto heading footballs. They were onto something

@TheDB30: I mean I fucking hate the tories but not sure they have much of a say over the weather like.

@sgbwhu: From Matt Le Tiss to David Icke!!

@pesling: Nothing to see here, just Matt Le Tissier claiming that the Government are now in charge of the weather. There isn’t enough tinfoil in the world to make a hat big enough for this guy 😂

@mattlockrhodes: Hahahaha, this guy has full on lost it. So far down the conspiracy wormhole, that there’s no way back for him. The government can’t fix the potholes on every bloody road, do you really think they’ve gone beyond intelligence that they can control *the weather*?

@moyes4ever: He can’t top this, this is peak Le Tissier unfortunately

@da5705: Just once I’d love to see a conspiracy dickhead explain exactly what the government gets out of it raining all the fucking time.

@streeky30: Can somebody check on @mattletiss7 to see if he’s alright? WTAF???

@DannyDutch: That’s a completely normal thought for a person to have… Not bonkers at all

@HITCSevens: Forget the 94-95 season, the hat-trick against Liverpool, or denying massacres, this is peak Le Tissier. It’s been a wild ride, folks, but I’m afraid we’re never topping this one
