  1. The financial times, had a wonderful article last week on this, describing it as diastrous insanity, which is of course what it is

  2. Britain is part of Europe and boy it riots as well. Recall the running riots in a dozen British cities with exemplary sentences from magistrates, and before that the abomination of Broadwater Farm where a police constable was decapitated. Also, try reporting the horrific violence in British cities entirely unreported by the BBC as usual.

  3. Unfortunately, the Lord has degenerated into a dumping ground for political favours which greatly degrades value of a revising chamber occupied by skilled and competent people with the time and wisdom to be able to do the job well

  9. This stinks of a massive series of errors and will I fear rank alongside the very large number of legal failures that we have had to endure observing over the best part half century or so. Nothing about this case is straightforward, nothing is as described in the rabid press and none of it makes sense as suggested by the sycophants and hanger-on hysterics. I would be amazed if she had actually done any of this. That hospital seems to have bee pitifully dysfunctional and the staffing at all levels, if the reports are to be believed, far less than adequate let alone ideal. Stinks of a witch-hunt, when compared to similar cases in Europe with very different outcomes. Nobody who knew her suggested she was even remotely capable of these things, they terrified the poor girl and her hysterical note is clearly and obviously not any sort of confession but on introspection of personal agony.

  10. The plan is that there should be a reduction of the burning need to vote against her. That is working. She is obviously a foul liar, but that is universal in politics now.

  16. He is, I suspect, sick of the experience of dealing with. Feral UK media, the appalling BBC, the business of being abused, and an electorate wedded to big-state corruption. He is talented and does not wish to waste his life and the life of his family. Why tolerate the unending nonsense there?

  18.  @derekneville8175  A gigantic lie. The races in the UK have been geographically stable for well over ten thousand years, save for Saxons moving in 1600 years ago and a tiny number of Normans in the 11th century. Your pernicious lie needs to be treated with the contempt it deserves. The mass uncontrolled inward migration over the last sixty years is unprecedented, and culturally completely unprecedented since the Great Trek over 18000 years ago.

  29. What socially toxic nonsense. The country has 1/3 poor with the onslaught of energy and other base costs, if you use the US poverty level measure it is close to 50%. And this nutflake site whines on about how the rentier-economy disconnected weirdos can now go to Abergawhatever and not 'climb the wall' in three days by eating an overpriced silly meal. Thankfully I emigrated from the nasty little horror of a society long long ago, and listening to this sort of rubbish always reinforces my decision as it being the best thing I ever did. No wonder the Russian revolutionaries shot people with no callouses on their hands. And what has a few overpriced restaurants in the shires and the remotes got to do with levelling up? GO to Skelmersdale, see the food supply in the local stores there. I did. I thought I was in communist east Europe. The fish counter was the size of my sweatshirt, and the fish about as appetising.

  31. THis is the recipe of the particularly British state - socialists pretty much uninterrupted since 1945. The 'Tories' were avowed 'we are all socialisrts now' from 45 to 79. The ONLY regime that modestly cut the state spend, added a modicum of personal wealth and inter-genertional wealth was the Thatcher regime. After that sharp reversal. The consequences of state fiscal and monetary policy was de-industrialisation, cultural evisceration, the creation of a poverty leve find nowhere else in the developed world - even thought eh UK is a VERY low productivity, low living standard, low-value added rentier economy and society. The private school rabbit for the socialist hounds to eat is a ratchet towards an already extremely soviet state. I hear nothing from the left that suggests the degenerate policies they applied from 1945 will other than intensify. Thus I rejoice in not any longer living there. The angle of decline is steeper, after the madnesses of Brown Blaire, then the insanity of the removal of the Conservatives and their replacement by ultra radical nationalist brexit populists. Both parties are a mirror to the catastrophe. There is no hope there. The private schools are a problem because the state schools are dreadful. The Private health system is a problem because the NHS is appalling. Neither party in that miserable bitter failed island society have any ideas to change any of the rot there. The woman sounds like a standard bitter enforcing leftie from 1945. He sounds economical with the actualite. Hopeless place. Emigrate if you possibly can BY the way, I was educated at a Grammar School, and there was probably an arithmetic majority of poor and working-class kids there. They were culturally disadvantaged, not be the 11 plus. I understand that 0ver 85% of the professional cadres in England are populated by the products of the private schools which educate about 10% of the indigenous. A disaster. Indian caste system, not a European country BUT Labour loves a captive electorate of dirt poor people; their urban funding policies and so much else guarantee it continues. The Cons loathe the middle classes. 19th Century Britian seems eternal. But with none of the advantages the 19th century bestowed upon it.

  35. I do not know what the definition of 'overwhelm' is, but the descriptions of what the nHS fails to do, of the vast numbers of cancelled and not-actioned procedures, of the most serious cross infections, of people simply found dead in wards with CPAP machines running but nobody checking the patients, and so much more, suggests it does not function. Is that 'overwhelmed'. Oh, and 12 hour waits for ambulances, in the context of an ambulance system routinely reported as simply not doing the revive it should be offering. Overwhelmed seems an understatement. Try 'collapsed'.

  47. Pitiful disconnected English arrogance. Where would one prefer to live, Fascistic Britain, or, at worst, nationalist France? No contest. France every time. Look AT YOUR FILTHY HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, HOUSING, PREDATORY FINANCE, CRIMINAL SOCIAL SERVICE STANDARDS, DREADFUL CLASS DIVIDES, MASSIVE INEQUALITY, ROTTEN HOUSING STOCK. Not forgetting the declining living standard since 1945. relative to the countries of the world. Not a first world country now. Declining very fast. It is not a Conservative Party. It is a combination of new and old evils bundled together and designed to abuse the population Worth shouting about, it is so bad. This channel seems utterly disconnected from the lives of most oppressed English people. I am amazed there is not revolution and rage expressed in the country.

  48. Islamophobia is a perfectly rational perspective, given the vast weight of evidence we see across the globe. The real problem is the thought and speech control in societies attacked by radical leftists and their radical Muslim compatriots.

  50. William has been steeped in woke political correct land, replete with CRT, white privilege, distorted history of the Middle East and lunatic vies on human sexuality. Just as his father wanted to pretend Islam was toothless, so his son buys into the fantasy mental landscape. All around him a civilization collapsed, impoverished, disfunctional, hopeless. Yet he sees the cause of this as the solution? Absurd place.

  51. He only talks about hybrid funding. He says almost nothing about capacity and structure. Perhaps he knows nothing about that. In addition, the US has a universal system, with a choice to buy insurance or use public hospitals. Whose outturns are better than your NHS hospitals, so more ignorance. He is very unimpressive, but what do you expect from a bloke charge with running the system. Knowledge? Deep awareness of global systems? Not a chance. Plainly the NHS has been a rubbish Soviet style closed loop sys5em of supply and finance since the 40s and has been totally inadequate as a result. He never knew that? Garbage political operators as ever.

  59. He wanted ruinous brexit. He is obsessed, as the political class is in modern Britian, entirely with himself. Nothing here to see or hear that is other than tragic for a wrecked little country. Johnson, Portillo, the rest of them are simply a mirror reflecting the society England has degraded to since 1945. Floating around on trains may fool the local vegheads, but the past of the Conservative Party cannot be washed away so easily.

  60. An odd, restless, at-war-with-itself place England. It picks up the worst current neuroses of the American stewpot. This is no different. It will pass after a time, as the business of going on about it is exhausting and there is no steam left behind it all. Then quietness will return for another century or so. I am surprised so many are engaged in this paroxysm of dissociated anger. I assume they must enjoy it; feel 'engaged', feel 'good'.

  63. Not having the vaccine by choice should and will of course carry a penalty. If employers require it, no work can be done; if travel countries can require it then no travel can be done, and there will be any number of financial transactions that will be unavailable for the unvaccinated. Their choices will carry multiple penalties. This dredging up of victimhood is not analysed, with good reason. The causes would diminish the undirected rage of the left. The average Brit is fat and flabby compared to many populations. Are they 'victims' because such a condition has consigned vast numbers to die from covid, unlike countries with young poor thin folk? Or simply better lives diets and health care systems would obviously reduce mortality and morbidity.? Answers on a political manifesto please. As the froggies may say. Sans passeport, reste tout seule chez toi, Merde!

  64. It has been long the case that the BBC prefers not to recall the three injunctions that were his its charter, To educate to inform to entertain. In the Audi decades of my life, the BBC do its great credit. Did all of those things. Since Burt It has Italia abandoned them. Now the squalor is limited to reflecting the lives of the inhabitants of the poisoned island. It reflects the worst of their lives It also Lies to them It patronizes and insults them It creates political fantasy as a means of expressing its power Laughs at structures and ancient previously highly effective in sustaining a monocultural society of immense and staggering achievement. Teaches the young to the past It succeeds in alienating one generation from the other. It lies about integration of society by falsely suggesting multiculturalism is both high functioning and active in the real world when, in fact, all that is achieved is ghetto, living and immense violence where none existed before. The BBC is held in contempt as antisemitic and rightly so The United States Almost universally holds it in contempt, irrespective of whether they are GOP or Democrat by inclination. The power of the BBC is the wishes to and can In reality make or break government. I believe that the BBC is more manipulative, more dishonest, and more deeply and trenched in the business of thought control then was actually achieved in the great dictatorship in Europe in the 20th century. I see no way of reducing its authority. It is one reason among many that would cause one to immigrate to fresh air and better climes.

  79. The point of the inquiry is to give the false impression to the proles that they have some kind of influence on the corrupted state. Nothing more. Cynical marketing techniques as old as time.  Hancock is the new Guy Fawkes. It is that same state whose clearly ruthless present Head of State lied about Mau Mau and cosied up to tribal Africans and the inheritors of extreme violence (NOT any sort of freedom struggle, an obvious unhidden inter tribal violence that also slaughtered Europeans in large numbers) and in the course dumping on the people his parents relied upon to sustain their political economy in Africa under different circumstances.  The state consumes its subjects, at will, to sustain centres of power and control.  Hence the mindset of the Mail, the Mirror, the Express, each saying to their prole supporters 'THEY are doing 'it' (whatever oppression 'it' happens to be at the time) to US' But not to the Harmsorths of this world. They are just fine. They are always just fine, as Murdoch and the rest are just fine now. One minute the soldiers, the police, the civil servants sustaining the state are cynically sold as heroes and given medals and such like, a full generation or so later, they are sold as the racist suppressors of a violent dead and evil Imperial system. My, the Chinese must be snapping at the heels of the West in East Africa! I guess the British are fearful of the French experience in north west Africa to resort to this nonsense. Then there is the fools-gold glory of the so called Commonwealth. Got to give that a lease of life for the Head of State not to be a mere local papier-mache would-be Autocrat. Not forgetting Obama's daddy, and the even more cyclical British sending bucket loads of compensatory money to mau man retirees to make Obama feel little docile PC Britain was his friend. Crawling creates contempt. Read Rory Stewart's utterly depressing but clearly honest book on Kenya/Africa and the irrelevance of the British there now !!! If I were a servant of the British state, and I were asked to put my life on the line, say to confront the Muslims in their violent marches through British cities, by the ministers appointed by this King's Prime Minister, I would refuse I would go home, have a cup tea, a slice of cake, and avoid the next monarch, in fifty years time or so, sidling up to the Muslim government there in Number 10 and saying that I was a bloodthirsty monster of a policeman in trying to suppress the righteous Muslim marches in 2023. No no no. Stay at home police army and security people. Drink tea, eat cake, play with your children, cuddle your wives and girlfriends and have nothing to do with your corrupted power elites. You are in their descendent's sights.

  92. This disease, less dangerous than influenza in terms of mortality for under 65s has caused debt to rise to over 100% of GDP, with a projected 2021 debt financing requirement of 800 billion. What is being done is insane. Sweden got it right. I would expect collapse in the UK, with accompanying bloody violence if this level of debt is needed, and the deaths from untreated other diseases including cancers not treated will dwarf the covid19 deaths. The gross failure to protect the retirement homes was criminally uncaring and worse, , and if that had been done the death numbers would have made this a very different experience. A MASSIVE public health and national management failure. A generation will be impoverished by this. The actual death rates are a very tiny fraction of those predicted, on which this gross panic was based. I read the prior projections re Mad Cow and others was equally absurd. If that is so, then criminal incompetence by ministers and Johnson must be the conclusion.\ They are desperate for a vaccine. Without that this strategy looks utterly crazy, and completely unsustainable.

  99. Anyone fully familiar with the hard science or global land-surface resource potential and climate change knows perfectly well that the Net Zero by 2050 is a monumental fraud, to be characterised by near total ineffectiveness. Of course the Green Lobby, with its effective removal of nuclear from the energy supply equation for all but 50 years, the cessation of the development of fast breeder reactors as a result of the Green anarchy, and now their absurd nonsense concerning cattle, rather than simply identifying the obvious need to de-concentrate cattle production and transhumance cattle across marginal grasslands to stop desertification, as happens in Zim, South Africa, and is beginning in South America as a reversal of the concentrated feedstock trend is the way forward. It must now be clear that the global temperature will be a least plus 3 C over preindustrial 1900, and 3.3. over pre industrial measured honestly at 1750. Between Corporate marketing machines and Islington Green idiocy leavened by corrupt frightened so-called 'governments', this engine of destruction will not be stopped, and indeed barely slowed. Grown ups know this. They are few and far between though.

  101.  @steveis33  The law, in most circumstances, suggests that 'ignorance is no defence'. That applies here .The broad mass of your electorate is composed of people of around average, maybe a little above, often significantly below the mean IQ. That means for very many, they have not the means nor the inclination to grasp complex, sophisticated, multvariate matters. Nor do they like to engage in conceptual thought. Normally that does matter. A bone head with a red flag screams 'workers demand more' on the one hand, and a faux-toff ( and perhaps now and then a real one) screams ' Do not give in to the overspenders, tradition is what counts', waving often a little blue flag, and then the people vote for their ancient and moth-eaten prejudices. ( there used to be a nice little yellow flag argument for the earnest kind-hearted intellectuals but that sees to have been largely dispensed with now) Brexit was something else. And there, your mass universal suffrage democracy simply spawned liars, mountebanks, common snake-oil salesmen, street odd-balls, the odd peddler of limited 'truth' and even people like Johnson and Red Buses and Turks-soon-to-be-Under-The-Bed. It was open season on referendum nonsense. And your Parliament had it s legs shot out at the knee. In all of that, NO intelligent, complex, sophisticated, conceptualisation of any sort of future. So your hordes did what they always did. Dusted off their often (but not always) mindless prejudices, and marked their cards. There is no 'pro' to nationalism, to jingoism, to foreigner-hate, to xenophobia, to the marketing cynicism that is 'global Britian'. There are only 'cons'. So you are, as the Bard would say but never did, entirely 'stuffed'.

  107. The core error was the mindlessly stupid decision to not define citizenship as specific to territory in 1945, rather than 1964, with 19 years as all being simply 'subject of the King ( or queen) and thus able to travel with no restriction. Then the left forced the decision de facto to make a tiny previously poor European archipelago a tinpot version of a vast empire, when the British understood the component peoples, and knew well that the different tribes and religious groups in the globaL EMPIRE would not get on, having slaughtered each other whenever they encountered each other.

  114. The argument about present day debt, and all the silly impedimenta to independence should be set in the context of the dreadful Scottish poverty, the poverty of ambition, the lack of creative force, and the living standard that is, for example, only 65% that of Denmark, a country of far less natural resource, but which can define precisely what it wants to do, and even after losing half the country to Prussia in the late 9th Century, is brim full of drive and confidence., Go to Scotland to sense the repressed anger and sense of repression. IT IS PALPABLE. The Empire, a wonderful thing of quite unparalleled achievement since Rome, but hated by the present day pigmy-minded, pigmy-achievers that are the English inheritors, is over, and so is the Union. it has NO function now.  Neil is so very stuffy now, BBCised, conventional. Sharp, often wise, but like Dimbleby, stale. He could change that, by contemplating the future free of the accretion of his past and its preconceptions. I think he can do better. I do hope that he does.

They are in fact, deeply corrupted wish to see mass inward migration, and wish to see these people voting on block for them, and have no care at all for the indigenous.

Multiply that by 4 - since there will be at least 2 full iterations needed as viral variations happen, and then cost them at 1 dollar each. That will cost the Russians and Chinese 20,000,000,000 minimum. And that is a win for them? In what way? They will be loved by whom precisely? And to what gain?????

  127. After over half a century of listening to British politicians and commentators either lying about the NHS, demonstrating no real knowledge of it, and always demonstration NO understanding of competing superior health care systems across the planet, and with ‘presenter’ lightweight so - called but not - really journalists parroting the editorial line of which ever junkfest news entity employed them, I am supposed to listen to this video and expect comprehension, analysis, deep awareness educational background that offers deep insight and some sensible suggestions for a new model of delivery to replace the nightmare both putrid parties are gutless enough not to address? Sorry. I will pass on that.

  138. No sane person could pretend that Britain runs a 'capitalist' economy; it is full of special interest restrictions that would be utterly intolerable in the country that actually does run a capitalist economy. Corruptions there are really ultra-sophisticated, deeply embedded, and so long-standing as to be largely invisible. It is as corrupted as could be; how the benighted largely abused and often impoverished population labours under all these difficulties one really does wonder - but of course ordinary English people have always been kicked, ever so cleverly, in the gonads, by whichever ruling group that happens to find itself in a position to abuse and oppress. Compared with the dreadful and ever-worse reality in brexit England, places running more socially integrated societies such as France, Sweden, Holland, Norway, Finland are vastly nicer places to live for the overwhelming majority of the citizenry. Sturgeon is a reaction generated by a Scotland which has a living standard not much higher than 60% that of small, resource-starved Denmark. What does Neil want??? He seems a strange man now. Has he not seen the grim reality of his country of accent???

Grim stuff in a pretty grim place? State socialist monopoly healthcare, UK style, seems terrifyng in the arbitrary cut-offs unelected non-responsive medical bureaucrat impose.

Such arrogance, with a foundation built on sand.

  155. Nonsense. It needs some reconstruction, and the editorial boards that impose Pravda-like authority where independent minded journalists of real stature have been replaced by hordes of hopeless 'presenters' need deconstructing. The scale of the BBC is vast. Appropriate to something the size of the USA, not a little post imperial island country. It can remain large enough to connect with the world, but the guff about soft-power is just that. Guff. The deluded English are taught to hate their Empire and much of their history by social misfits and those acting with naked self interest. That should end today.

  157. A large piece of glass in the window illustrating the total insanity that has afflicted Britain, all but continuously, since 1945, with flake after flake doing their bit to drive a once massively rich, powerful, imperial monoculture into utter irredeemable misery, failure, poverty for a large proportion of the population, and accelerating disaster from which, in an ultra-competitive world, no real recovery is possible now. The Spectator, like the Tory-graph, is it would seem dominated by the new generation of, in the main, what seems to be post-juvenile loon-tunes from what I hear and read of them. Only an idiot would think shifting to a new tax regime as advertised by her and her so-called 'Chancellor' in the middle of inflation, massive state debt and even more ruinous personal debt levels, pitiful trade data, collapsed currency value when the US Dollar that is the backbone of the Pound is seeing rapid interest rate rises and real tax increases could do other than smash the currency and the sterling bond market. Simple competence in economics, relevant experience intellect and gleaned wisdom is all you need there. And for Statecraft, it is all non-optional. But the Hedge Funds were cheering on in the background. Not to be ignored. And perhaps at cocktail parties as well? Got to keep the people who REALLY matter content. Including the neo-but-not-really-Thatcherite weirdos.

Now the advantaged, the clever, the educated, the lucky inheritors have undisguised contempt for all the others. They are free of conscience and morality. The result a ruthless Darwinian society.

  175. Glad to see race is being openly discussed, even if in disabled terms of 'failed whites'. Obviously they cannot compete. Pretty obviously there is severe and ever-accelerating cut-throat race competition for resources and for control of the principal assets of the old Imperial centre. The Chinese and Indians are winning by a country mile, and as Saint Trevor said, the place is full of ghetto living' The local indigenous are entirely stuffed. Their future is race based but never-discussed nor ever admitted serfdom, in the main. Look at the make-up of the ruling political group. Why brexit? Obviously the unstated intention to close off Europe and open up transit from the Indo Gangetic region. Can't talk about that though in Anglotia. VERY taboo. And the BBC remains tight lipped as expected, indeed it deflects routinely. That is a small taste of things to come. Glad I am not there.
