  1. They're called 'plod' for a reason. As this clip demonstrates.

  2. Probably hope that the Chinese threat shakes us out of this idiotic self absorption.

  3. Even if it is redolent of Thatcherism, that was a time when the economy was buoyant. That in itself would be a step forward from where we are now.

  4. Peter is caught in a weird trap where he hates the party that he supports. The Conservatives have never backed the people that have fought wars to protect the country. And the Christian Church used to be equally authoritarian over the people that supported it. So, if some Right Wing alternative to the Conservatives steps up, I'll give it a chance, I don't see how it could ever let us down worse than the Tories have over generations

  5.  @stephenw2992  There's something about the modern generation, they seem to be incapable of restraining themselves from speaking 'they're truth'. So journalistic neutrality is a thing of the past.

  6.  @FirstLast-rb5zj  Imagine you're a soldier that lost a leg fighting in Afghanistan. The US decide to pull out, overnight, no warning to allies, and leaves billions in kit there for your enemies. Is that soldier going to feel it was all worth it? You'd be doing the same thing all over again but this time in Ukraine.

  7. From a historical perspective, how does a Nigerian become UK PM? This is one of those strange phases like in the medieval era when French was the language of the English Royal courts. All things pass. Common sense ultimately prevails. Unfortunately, we have to endure this crazy period.

  8. And what's happening in the USA is showing that Senator McCarthy was on to something. Media brainwashing has portrayed these men as monsters over the years, it seems like their time is coming.

  9. Rahbour El As Just means there's space for a party offering that option.

  10. Sopel is just another self regarding BBC globalist hack.

  11.  @Dabhach1  I think a lot of us did when they kicked out Soames, Grieve, Alexander, Soubrie etc. Consensus politics are OK when everything is going well, it offers a form of continuity. When things are are bad, this bad, you need a politician of substance to come and sort things out. Mrs Thatcher was one, the only possibility I see is Lord Frost. The rest of the 'big names' are devoid of backbone, and talent.

  12. The Church of England stands for nothing these days.

  13. Hence we have this thing, "This is my truth", "This is my lived experience", no, what are the actual facts? Not your emotional interpretation of them.

  14. I don't think either group add anything of significance to the UK. They both treat this country as a holiday home. Their first loyalty is to another land, not ours, we don't need the strife they or other groups bring, let's keep this small island with a great history to ourselves. The Japanese have the right idea.

  15. When people are perpetually racially conscious you will have a stilted, artificial 'correct' environment that conceals underlying tensions. Who wants to live in a society like that. Lenny Henry has had a lifetime of love from the British public, he's a rich man, but now he's racialised himself, made his colour a feature in a way the public never cared about. That is a backward step and he's blind to it because he's got caught up in this identatarian trend to try to be a 'worthy' black man. It's undoing so much social progress.

  16.  @albert21able  I think the working class are a bit more militant these days. When those Insulate Britain clowns ( middle class, of course) were stopping traffic, it was the 20/30 y.o working class guys that were dragging them off the road. Which in itself is an appropriate metaphor for British society. But all governments fear the anger of working people, lest heads roll. The government might find people are a little less likely to fight to protect a local hotel full of immigrants.

  17. Government is an illusion. It looks strong only because people are willing to accept their authority, when a government takes the dominant population down a road it doesn't want to go down, the mood starts to change. The rise of the Brexit party is a sign that it's already happening, and there's an even more radical layer beneath that. As things are going, we will reach a critical mass and a reaction WILL occur. How strong that reaction will be is anyone's guess at the moment. But it will not look like two dudes sitting in a TV studio.

  18. Peter could have an hour long show on GBNews. I'd prefer him to Isabel Oakshott.

  19. Very true. Trump is moving in the right direction on education. When he proves the election was fixed, he can get back to business. Over here we need to make kids more self reliant, less state reliant.

  20. Well, it would certainly be a wake up call for complacent British Liberals who already, no joke, consider Rishi Sunak 'Far Right'. For the rest of us just the slight satisfaction of saying "I told you so".

  21. Good point. The Conservatives, like the US Republican Party, have lazily assumed that the economy was the only thing that mattered. And I think this is why it has failed. There is a place for a new right wing/patriotic party to attract the votes of frustrated Brits. It would attract people from left and right because it gets to the core of a natural patriotic instinct.

  22.  @valeriegrimshaw1365  For people from Rahman's part of the world, bribery is part of everyday life. We value honesty, they see life in a different way and he reflects that. We're already seeing that lying is endemic in the political class. It used to be a resigning offence, now it's just 'spin' or any other euphemism you want to use. Standards for everything in public life are sliding lower by the day.

  23. He's gone and precious few people really care. The ones that do are the anti Monarchy brigade, which is exactly why we need to keep these self important disruptors at arms length.

  24. Lovely Emma, surrounded by Cads and Bounders. Never trust a man with a feature waistcoat.

  25. What about the female war on men? Divorce courts, entry into all men's spaces and sports, and male jobs? This all goes one way.

  26.  @shrunkensimon  Eventually the pot will boil over in one way or another. Dictators lose touch, then become isolated, then paranoid and vulnerable. Plus Xie, despite the black hair, is not in his early 30s. He's getting on.

  27. In an ideal world this conversation would be on GB News but Ofcom would never allow it.

  28. They were banal in their handling of Covid and equally banal in their reactions to a very serious situation. The public is spoken to as if they/we are all children to be talked down to. Infuriating. The 'msm' really are no help at all.

  29. I think the point he's making is that this utterly incompetent government are incapable of sleight of hand. They lack the Macchiavelian skills to seamlessly slide the Reset past the public without some not all the people noticing. Boris outlined a fantasy portrait of a bright green future but didn't say "we're going to take your money away and put you on a Chinese style social credit system". If and when that happens the bulk of working people will say 'no' and Farage gets in at the next election. And I'm guessing Farage's policy platform will echo that of Donald Trump. The real Great Reset will be removing the divine right of clueless public schoolboys to run the country. They've proven they're not up to the task.

  30. There is no shortage of countries that want a handout. Mostly of a certain ethnicity. It should be a firm fat 'No'.

  31. Thanks to the vanity of Matt Hancock we now get to see the low calibre of politicians and civil servants that are meant to serve us. But only seek to serve themselves.

  32. The BBC have no common sense. They just attach themselves to niche popular causes then try to convince other people they're real.

  33.  @Stranglerxx77  As has uncontrolled immigration.

  34. Probably, but it's not as if we're rejecting the glorious sunlit uplands for Labour. We're in a hole and Labour will take us deeper, but that may be what we need to realise how bad our national decline has become under this sham 2 party system. Only then can the kind of vital root and branch re-think about how we move forward take place. Just a few years ago it was almost a hanging offence to criticise the NHS, now we all know it's a basket case, so reality is gradually imposing itself on people's lives. That's my hope. Labour may be the purgative this country needs.

  35. Jerry Can Brexit flushed out the 'remain establishment' and we saw how they were in all parties and the civil service. A lot of them were flushed down the toilet in the last election but I'm sure there are more to get rid of. That will be part of the new Long March. My point is that a second battle would have arisen as Corbyn's Labour pulled this country to the extreme Left. Undermining our nuclear defences, education and the existence of the traditional family. Thank God he was never elected. But clearly there is a battle ahead to uproot the Eurocentric/Marxist/Globalist elite from ALL the institutions and restore Britain as it should be.

  36. Still sounds insane though. Educated people are the easiest to fool.

  37. Yes. There are way too many idiots over here gagging at the prospect of bringing over every progressive idea the US sicks up. The whole narrative around BLM is a glaring example.

  38. Mark Antony McDonald I believe you're right. The Conservatives were able to mop up all the votes to the right of centre because there was no one to apply pressure. And that's why they've drifted further to the left, to try to pick up some of those votes too. We need to cut them off at the legs by having a proper right wing/ populist party. These days someone is dangerously 'right wing' in the media's eyes if you think there are only 2 sexes. We need to change that. Major overhauls required.

  39. I'm a bit more optimistic. If you look at the thrust of history you'll see there is always a reaction. I'm sure many past generations thought 'this is us done' but somehow something comes through and we reset. As a Brexiteer I do actually see a chance for a new post Liberal European alliance. Sensible inter-national European cooperation to build a buffer zone between the US and China. We are culturally aligned, essentially we're very similar.

  40. I think it's important to have a view of what the ultimate goal is. To replace a Liberal tyranny with a Right wing tyranny just changes the colour of your oppressor's uniform. Personally, I think there aspects of Liberalism that are OK, if not pushed to extremes, and aspects to a well ordered, competently run state that make everyday life bearable. Finding the sweet spot is the key. Hungary may be the best example we have so far.

  41. Who uses that term? The Left.

  42. I think it's time to remove the Estsblishment. The conveyor belt of public schoolboys into high office is an anachronism, given that most of them don't have any feeling for the history or greatness of this country. For them it's about career and prestige but none of them have the mettle to make big decisions. They're hopelessly out of touch and past their sell by date.

  43. I'm sure Rafe is happy that he wasn't called Raffy all the way through the interview this time.

  44. I can't get enough of Drag Queens. I want drag Queens reading the news, I want drag Queens delivering my Amazon crap, if I get a taxi I want it driven by a drag queen, I want all the police in full drag and all my favourite NCF presenters to make the effort. More drag please, Peter.

  45. One of the worst things is the way politics has become a career path. It used to be that people went into politics after they were financially secure. These days there appears to be a factory just churning out these identikit career politicians studying PPE, becoming an assistant, then offered a seat once they've shown they can say all the right things, then a junior minister post etc. They thought nursing would improve if they turned it into a profession, with a viable career structure. We ended up with careerist nurses rather than nurses with a desire to help and comfort the ill. Governments seem to thrive on bad decision making. Today's 'professional' politicians are the worst ever.

  46. Annalise Hamilton Yes. But people will have an election in 4 years. The problem with real dictatorships is that you don't have elections.

  47.  @sunnyjim1355  That is exactly what someone might have said in 1940. But it's never over. The truth is that as the situation gets worse more and more people are becoming aware of the mess we're in. And in particular, the 'nice' middle class, whose children can't get on the housing ladder, or get an NHS doctor's appointment start to change their minds about open door immigration. Hardship has this effect on people, it shakes them out of their complacency. I believe that's where we are. We're broke because of Co-vid and we have strikes because of the inflation it caused and we can't afford to fix our major problems because they are all created by overpopulation caused by mass immigration. This is affecting everyone now, not just the working class, and ultimately something drastic will need to happen. There is no other possibility. You can only ignore a problem for a certain amount of time.

  48. hannannah1uk And now you've moved into the light. And by that I don't necessarily mean 'to the right'. Both right and left are collecting under a common sense banner. People that don't want wokeness and state intrusion into every aspect of their lives or have to bend the knee to extremist opinions.

  49. Agreed. But you have to overthrow the teaching unions first, they are Marxist hardliners.

  50. Man or woman is a bit reductive. 'Lady' has a little more warmth to it.
