Comments by "Mike Hutchison" (@mikehutchison4892) on "BBC News" channel.

  1. “There were no parties.” “Guidelines were followed at all times.” Words said by the British Prime Minister,in Parliament. Little wonder Allegra Stratton left.Little wonder we are a laughingstock.
    81
  2. No wonder I stopped buying his products many years ago ! He totally ignores a fact and assumes that the public is too dumb to notice.
    59
  3. Look at the donations given to nearly every MP,on They Work for You, look at the “golden visas” handed out to millionaires……..all of which our politicians find perfectly legal !!!
    45
  4. 70% of the U.K. is agricultural land and 50%—33% of that is used to feed animals,including the 57million game birds that are released each year.Perhaps you could have a word with the landed gentry,who we have subsidised since 1947,to let our native birds have the food instead of the pheasants.
    40
  5. Amazing,that anyone could actually believe in a mythical being who wants children to starve to death.
    33
  6. An 80 seat majority from 42% of the voters…….that’s the lack of democracy we suffer from.
    31
  7. All due to Israel’s barbarity and the West’s condoning of its actions. Elect politicians that care about people……before MONEY !
    26
  8. Strange how Berlusconi,Johnson,Trump and Putin were all friends who admired each other.All promised much,but delivered little to nothing of their promises.
    21
  9. In the 21century,how can anybody choose to be led by a man “who believes “ that the earth is 6000 years old ?
    16
  10. Wiki the “Doha Agreement”. Peace and withdrawal talks have been going on for years.We knew the timeline.
    15
  11. Utterly pointless comments beyond this one.......go elsewhere !
    13
  12. “I am innocent,I didn’t do anything…….but he did the same as me and he is guilty.”
    13
  13. That is Tory privatisation ! My water board is owned by Australian and Canadian Insurance Co. which means……..we don’t even own our own rain ! Don’t tell me nationalisation isn’t better……when they get away with putting sewage into rivers. No wonder we can’t sell our shellfish.
    12
  14. Remarkable that so many commentators fail to mention the £400 million,that Iran paid for Chieftain tanks,that Britain failed to deliver…….but kept the money !!!
    12
  15. Happy Diwali,thank you for your culture.Ignore the uneducated trolls,they probably voted for Brexit as well.
    12
  16. So,what will you actually do Mr Powell ?
    11
  17. Yet another international agreement broken by our Conservative Govt.Why would anybody,apart from the DUP) trust Johnson ?
    11
  18. Denmark produced 50%+ of its electricity from wind +solar in 2020. Now it intends to spend £25bn to build an off-shore island,with an all-party agreement that retains 51% ownership.The electricity produced will not only supply Denmark,but Belgium,Netherlands and Germany. Consider that cooperation and cost with what the UK’s stupid Govt. calls an energy policy !
    10
  19. And despite those reasons…….you find his passing sad ??? Will many Pakistani people die in a Dubai hospital ??? Get off your knees and start thinking !!!
    10
  20. As the Sunaks move home,as the boss of EasyJet flies to watch his horses at Aintree,as 3 business men fly to the Space Station……..the little people ( the ones who paid their taxes,the ones who gave them the power)…….stand in queues and traffic jams !!! “Behind every great fortune……..there is a crime…….Balzac “ If this is due to staff shortages……..who got the 70 billion furlough scheme money ?
    9
  21. At last,a world leader who accepts that Israel’s actions are little more than the mass deportations,with little care as to whether people live or die, so remincent of Pol Pot and other communist leaders.
    9
  22. Too little,too late ! Remove the Republican Senators !
    9
  23. “Global Britain” just got smaller ! What a good idea…..remove the inequality and structure of the class system.
    9
  24. And how many children has de Pfeffel, Rees-Mogg and Edward Leigh got……that’s OK when you’re either a rich immigrant, a 70 yr subsidised landowner or related to Henry VII and married to an ancestor of the Romanov’s……and live off the taxation of the peasants !!!
    9
  25. Such knowledge,such information from people who couldn’t even tell you a thing about the process that keeps them alive ! If taking a vaccine worries them........they should look at the ingredients of a pot noodle !
    8
  26.  @RK-bj8ho  Not sure you can describe Balzac as weak or negative? “Behind every great fortune there is a crime……..Balzac “
    8
  27. Democracy:- a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people. “Demos……people, Kratos……..strength How much power have you had this past week ? Never trust the Tories !
    8
  28. How strange that any normal person is able to find a drug dealer or people smuggler yet the combined forces of police,MI5 and Cheltenham can’t follow the money,the purchase of boats,or the people.
    7
  29. The film “Philomena “ showing what happened in Ireland,will pull a few heartstrings. Trailers on YouTube).Amazed at some of the flippant comments……this is what those with power always do to those without. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance “…..and lots of scepticism about politicians !
    7
  30. In years to come,grandchildren will wonder both how and why their grandparents cheered and hollered for a known liar,criminal,who trashed America’s standing in the world.
    6
  31. Unwanted pregnancy.......simple solution.........castrate the careless father ! Sorted !!!! The natural form of the human is female.Let women decide.
    6
  32. A sad day for the U.K. “All men shall be brothers”
    6
  33. You only have to read these comments to understand why they would want to leave and lead a real life together........away from the vitriol of a press,needing to sell their papers. The monarchy is an outdated institution,supporting the class system,supported by hundreds of thousands of our taxes........which is why they are millionaires !
    6
  34. Not sure Peter will let him in.
    6
  35. AUSTRALIAN-STYLE DEAL. HIP,HIP HOORAY. Just a sec, Australia doesn’t have a free-trade deal with the EU.They do export beef (if it’s high quality) but it has a 20% tariff.Last year,their exports to the EU amounted to £15bn,the UK’s were £300bn,which was 43% of all our exports.Good job Doris got us “a world class” track and trace deal.
    6
  36. HEARD THE LATEST ? Banks,Farage and their LEAVE.e.u. Party.....have just moved their HQ into Waterford,Ireland......because it’s ......IN THE EU ! What hypocracy.
    5
  37. He is not exempt from justice......the same as any man !
    5
  38. Any chance of Serena running the country instead of Rishi and his despicable ministers ? Congratulations to the ladies of every nation for your skills,your fitness,your compassion for opponents,your lack of testosterone…..you have done much for women.
    5
  39. Farmers are telling us that bread and flour will be more expensive next year.Should we not be asking then,why are they growing acres of maize,to go into digesters,to produce methane,to produce electricity and yet more carbon dioxide !(all of which is heavily subsidised......with our taxes)?
    5
  40. Thank goodness the farmers aren’t suffering the ‘stupidity of Brexit’. They have been given 40,000 special visas and are bringing in agricultural workers from Indonesia,Nepal,Uzbekistan!!! Amazing what Tory MP’s (who are also farmers) can do………for themselves !
    5
  41. We are more than happy to trust the BBC.
    5
  42. It is essential that Britain retains all of its overseas territories,even if we have to con the plebs by singing Rule Britannia and using the Queen as our symbol.God forbid that all the betting firms on Gibraltar have to pay proper taxes,the Jersey millionaires have to move and let’s just gloss over all the dodgy money stashed on the Cayman Islands ! Britain must retain its history !!! (Behind every great fortune there is a crime………Balzac )
    5
  43. To those who lack empathy,but feel the need to voice there opinion,may I offer this quote from Confucius. “Before you embark on a journey of revenge,dig two graves “
    5
  44. Trust the Tories to opt for NI contributions to be raised.This affect anyone earning over £12k and leaves the rich better off.Well done Hartlepool,conned again !
    5
  45. Wasn’t “ getting rid of unelected officials “ one of the major reasons why we were urged to vote for Brexit ? This,shows what a ridiculous con job was foisted on the U.K. by Brexit.
    5
  46. Ah,the mysterious God ! Anybody ever seen him ? Perhaps he is only a figment of imagination,caused by years of indoctrination.
    5
  47. “Why can’t trump get into the White House? Because it’s forBIDEN ! (Thanks to Julie Red)
    5
  48. I would love to see many of these commentators put themselves through the mental and physical strains that these young women have,for many years. “He that knows not and knows not that he knows not……..is a fool,shun him.”
    5
  49. There are 1 million job vacancies…..that’s 1 million people,not paying Income tax,national insurance,vat,road tax,council tax,not buying anything,not spending anything.The stupidity of Brexit was voted for by unintelligent people,who then put an incompetent,lying buffoon into power……..it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t put their taxes up !!!
    5
  50. Ah,diddums,does the little baby need special laws,just for him and him alone ?
    5
  51. A country and culture that existed 3000yrs BC doesn’t need to have the beliefs and politics of the West forced upon it.Surrounded by similar countries,they have their own dress,language and religion.Much as we may want education and woman’s suffrage in Afghanistan…….we still haven’t fully achieved it yet.
    5
  52. In 1918,the Spanish flu started in Kansas,became a pandemic and killed 50+ million people.In 2019,the Covid 19 virus simply needs humans,in which to reproduce,then transmit it.It is difficult to understand why America would ignore both history and scientific fact in preference to the word of a known liar who was clearly mentally unstable,if not psychopathic.MASKS,DISTANCE,SANITISE.Take care.
    4
  53. The big red bus said. “We send the EU £350 million a week “. As it’s 1/9/21, does anybody know where the £11,200 million that we have supposedly saved,has gone ? Education,roads,universal credit ???
    4
  54. £80 million !
    4
  55. …….and who supports their gun laws and death penalty Daniel ?
    4
  56. Google: The brooch worn by the Governor General of Jamaica ! This “honour”,which reminds you of the murder of George Floyd,tells you how sorry Britain is.
    4
  57. Quite amazing that we spend so much money on the police,on MI5,on MI6,on GCHQ and yet they are unable to trace and apprehend men carrying 20 ft rubber dinghies down to the sea ! Despite the highest taxation in 70yrs,clearly,the obvious solution(to a Tory) is to impose £120m now and much more,later.After all,it’s only the plebs !……and people vote for this.
    4
  58. Why not.......he’s both corrupt and psychotic ?
    4
  59. Talking of the White House,re-posting this from Julie Red: Why can’t trump get back into the White House ? ............because it’s forBIDEN..................boom,boom.
    4
  60. Should have had hundreds of acres and quad bikes,shouldn’t they ?
    4
  61. ……..that would explain the UK’s Conservative party then !
    4
  62. So, thieves get to decide whether the police can investigate them ! That sounds like typical Conservative ideas of democracy and justice. That’s the power of an 80 seat majority !
    4
  63. Not charging VAT on private school fees because they are classed as charities........”they provide benefit to the public !!!” Is estimated to cost this country £522 million,between 2017-22.We subsidise wealthy landowners with £15 billion ! If the Tory party have any intention of “ levelling up” and removing inequality,then perhaps they should look at these and feed children.
    4
  64. A)It is not illegal to seek asylum ! B)Those on the Titanic we’re either rich…..and therefore entitled to go wherever they want ( much like the Russian oligarchs have done in London)……or poor migrants and some even drowned !!! C)Any comments about the 40,000 people that were brought in to work on the land,of the rich landed gentry,so that they didn’t lose any money ?
    4
  65. What about the £120m……of YOUR taxes being paid to the Rwandan Govt. ? The £500,000 cost of the plane ? Taking in Rwandan refugees ?
    4
  66. Should have thought about that before we went sticking flags all over the world......and saying “ this is ours”.”You are now subjects of the great white queen.”Try singing...Land of Hope and glory.......................
    4
  67. In view of what we have already seen,will there be any buildings left in Gaza,will there be any people left alive in Gaza ? Gutteres appears to be the only politician with any humanity.
    4
  68. No emotion.No feeling.Is he even aware of what he is reading ?
    4
  69. Yes,daddy was just about to pay £40,000 to send them to boarding school and they’d learnt to drive already,going round the pony paddock !
    4
  70. Johnson on holiday.Raab on holiday.Philip Barton(head of Foreign Office) on holiday. Anybody who considers these people “hard working,doing their best,competent”, need their head examining.
    4
  71. We all lost,it’s just that you’re not intelligent enough to know it.I’ll wave as I pass your queue,with my Irish passport.
    4
  72. The natural form of the human is female.Congratulations Argentina, for emancipating the people,especially women, in deciding how they conduct their lives.
    4
  73. Watching Strictly Come Dancing last Saturday…….it struck me……that seeing 2 men dance together….didn’t offend me…….actually,they were very good !
    4
  74.  @jimcourt9164  He came as a result of a loving relationship,as were all my children.We guided them for a few years and then,like the whole of the animal kingdom,we let them make their own choices.I’m proud of my children,they’re good human beings.They don’t get into my bed anymore,I don’t get into theirs…..I think that’s called life.
    4
  75. One British,one Canadian playing in America,with parents from Romania+ China and Ecuador + Philippines…….what odds of that occurring now that we closed student exchange and freedom of movement ? The idiocy of Farage Et al,or two superb human beings ?
    3
  76. Would that be the same god that oversaw the killing of the Native Americans…..after those migrant Pilgrims landed…..or do you just like the bits that fit your thinking ?
    3
  77. Anybody with a brain knew that this would happen after Brexit ! PS It’s quicker by boat,just ask Priti or Nigel.
    3
  78. What an abuse of power !Blatant nepotism ! Has all the hallmarks of Hitlers Nuremberg rallies!
    3
  79.  @woodstockxx  Ooh Steven,might I suggest that you Google Earth and look at field,after field,after field in the U.K.,many of them green,green,green……growing little more than grass ! (but all subsidised since 1947) We have to import most of our food,partly because our farmers no longer bother growing any……they prefer growing maize to go into anaerobic digesters !!!
    3
  80. Why is there no information about the actual crash ? How do you get killed by crashing an e-bike ?
    3
  81. Backward !!! They had a civilisation when your ancestors were stilldaubing their homes with cow muck.
    3
  82. The Republic of Ireland has had an elected Head of State for years.You don’t have to have a presidential leader.Mary Robinson was apolitical,yet had worldwide respect.
    3
  83. Australia DOESN’T have A FREE TRADE DEAL with the EU. It’s beef has 20% tariffs....”if it’s high quality”.They exported £15 bn....we exported £300 bn....43% of all our exports ! No wonder Brexiteers like Ratcliffe and Rees-Mogg have moved. FISH:-We import more fish than we export.Two countries ( not France ) catch more than us.Our seas,which everybody thinks are so important,only got 12 mile limits in 1987 and we didn’t pass the Exclusive Economic Zone until 2014........suddenly Farage et al get the peasants to start waving flags and singing Rule Britannia. And people voted for this stupidity !!!!!
    3
  84.  @paulgibbons2320  Who doesn’t want to be back in the EU ? 15,141,241 people voted Remain.Both Northern Island and Scotland had well over 50% wanting to Remain. It was largely due to outright lies,the right wing press and the stupidity and weakness of Cameron that saw the result.You certainly wouldn’t get it again !
    3
  85. People attending this gathering will be truly ashamed of themselves,when the truth comes out.
    3
  86. The rest of the country won’t.
    3
  87. 277,000 of them are students,who the Govt.want here ! Seen the £500,000 homes farmers are putting on their land ?
    3
  88. Well done Kansas, you have restored faith and respect for the place and freedom of women in your 21st century society. One is reminded that Mary Dyer was hung by the ignorance and bigotry of pale,stale,male Pilgrim Fathers,simply for being a Quaker,who wanted to worship in her own way.
    3
  89. Ever seen how many have CEO’s who are part of the rich elite ?
    3
  90. They sold off our gas, electricity and water, our trains and buses ! They don’t build houses,nor allow Councils the money to build ! They cut the police,the doctors and the nurses ! They introduced the Lottery,so now we have to take a 14million: 1 gamble,to pay for our own good causes…….and to cap it all….they raise our taxes (and their salaries). Frankly,you have to be pretty thick to believe the likes of Johnson,Rees-Mogg,Farage and Murdoch and give them an 80 seat majority. What have they done for you or the country ?
    3
  91. 1 : 17,500 !
    3
  92. “Before you set out on a path of revenge,dig two graves.”.........Confucius.
    3
  93. Information on the 1918 pandemic is easily available.Estimates of death are 25 - 50 million.The few minutes spent writing uninformed opinion,would be better spent doing some actual research.
    3
  94. Exactly what specific and in-depth solutions do you expect from a young girl ? The younger generation are very aware of our environmental problems,so perhaps she’s more observant and proactive than some.
    3
  95. “Liz Truss made sure that the money was being used for humanitarian purposes !!!” So is that what all that claptrap about ‘sovereignty’ was about ? Some woman,a thousand miles from Iran has the ability to tell another country what they can do with THEIR money ! Typical Murdoch/Farage/Fox/Tory stupid lies…..or are you Russian ? ( hard to tell the difference these days ).
    3
  96. Cretin
    3
  97. “The Land of the Free”……relying upon a constitution written in 1789, an ex-president (rejected by the people) who ‘fixed’ the judiciary and a book that took an English king to put together !!! What a way to run a country.
    3
  98. Pray tell,what evidence do you have for the existence of a god ? You must be aware that all of the 4,300 religions are man made.
    3
  99. Another of Sunaks pri….oooo….riteees ,no doubt. Could we now remove Johnson’s Russian mate from the House of Lords ?
    3
  100. An admirable person,with more honesty and integrity than the whole British cabinet put together.
    3
  101. Now go and look at your energy bills and your pay slip !
    3
  102. Some remarkably uninformed comments ! Visiting her family,on holiday and told by Reuters that she was not working as a journalist,the Iranian regime cited “as proof”....the words of our very own Foreign Sec. “that she was simply teaching people journalism”....as justification to jail NAZANIN.There was also the millions that the U.K. Govt. stole from the Iranians ! More lies and ineptitude from Johnson .......what does another body mean to him ?
    3
  103. What is the British army doing in the Falklands and Gibraltar ?
    3
  104.  @JwayT  The EU returned £3billion of our payments(to enjoy the benefits of belonging to a huge trading group……..bit like your Tesco loyalty card !!!)…..to our farmers.The new ELMS payments……paying farmers to cut their hedges…..now does come out of YOUR money.
    3
  105. I suggest you write to Stanley Johnson.
    3
  106. Interesting to see which inquiry into activities surrounding this Govt. reports first: Sunak,Partygate,Sue Gray,Metropolitan Police,Grenfell……the list goes on….and on…..and on !!!
    3
  107. I did ! You should see his obsequious and pathetic reply,which I am saving for the next election. (Matt Warman Boston…..a “safe”(undemocratic) Tory seat.)
    3
  108.  @elyrexo  Holding on to the £400m,since 1971-6, whilst not having delivered the goods……”is not perfectly understandable.” It comes close to fraud !
    3
  109. Hard to believe that many of these comments come from the species known as Homo sapiens (thinking man !)........sod the planet,sod our children !
    3
  110. …….but Jeremy Clarkson is a great bloke,as is Andrew(the £12m man) !!!
    3
  111. Apart from the brilliant science,doesn’t it make you wonder why we don’t get such clear,precise information from our politicians ?
    3
  112. Viscious vindictive behaviour is not victory.
    3
  113. ……..and Steve probably calls himself “a Homo sapiens…….thinking man”, though frankly,one doubts his intelligence to do so. Just another ‘little Engländer’ bringing more shame on little britain.
    2
  114. Thank goodness,the thought of sitting in Parliament all day without my drugs or subsidised booze would drive me crazy.
    2
  115. Is it disrespectful to ask Megan,though it is quite easy to Google it. If their family life is so ideal,why does Camilla live at Ray Mill, Wiltshire,when her husband lives at Highgrove,Gloucestershire ? Perhaps,we are not being told everything !!!!!
    2
  116. They did ! Who are you…..a Murdoch troll ?
    2
  117. 12 yrs of lazy, incompetent Conservative Govt. have brought chaos,lies and corruption to the NHS. Due to backlogs and delays,they paid private companies (using our taxes) £12.5k,£11k and £3k to perform hip,knee and cataract operations. Why didn’t that sort of money go to our NHS doctors and nurses ??? Just like dentistry,they will try to privatise the NHS……and just like water,energy and transport industries…..it will be the people who pay. The Tories are liars……they didn’t build 40 new hospitals.Fight for our NHS.
    2
  118. But sadly,because of Brexit they are no longer interested in Britain ! Instead they are to invest £70 billion,over the next 10 years,in Europe, says their CEO. The utter stupidity of Brexit.
    2
  119. And the Constitution…….was written when ? “Change is inevitable……Confucius”
    2
  120. Brave ??? Respect ??? Best hair ? Perhaps,you should restrict yourself to voting for people on Get Me Out of Here.
    2
  121. What a truly sad reflection.......of mostly men......are in these comments.Time to grow up little boys.Time to learn that you are the odd ones.......the natural form of humans.........is female !
    2
  122. We/I don’t.They are fully entitled to lead their own lives and let’s face it the royal family are pretty dysfunctional.We have Prince Andrew/Epstein and still nobody dare mention that Harry isn’t p.Charles’s son.Fair minded people just see Meghan as a happy,vibrant woman and wish them well. Royalists and the gutter press(and the thicko’s) don’t like her cos she is too independent and doesn’t have the right pedigree to be a brood mare !
    2
  123. Sorry, try Wiking World Covid Rates. Australia is 160th of 216 countries,with only 2367 deaths.Compare that to the U.K. which is 30/216 and has had 150,000 deaths.
    2
  124. Are you sure ? Like many people around the world we listened,read and watched a man,unfit to lead ,take his followers on a path lacking in empathy and even basic morality..The world saw them being interviewed,frankly,their lack of intelligence was astounding…….it culminated in the arrogant,selfish and murderous action in the Capitol. You lost the respect of people……now you have to earn it and it won’t be easy.
    2
  125. You have heard about the Met Police,have you ?
    2
  126. Don’t you mean RIP….the ununited Kingdom……soon to lose both Scotland and Northern Ireland ,half its businesses and ALL the intelligent people who can afford to move ?
    2
  127.  @zejdland  I am,that is why it should be left to the woman.She is the one who has to carry the baby,she has to go through childbirth,she is the one who has her life decided for the next 20 years.What would that do to you....physically and psychologically ? I very much doubt that you would leave a group of cancerous cells in YOUR body,given the choice. “It takes two to get one in trouble........Mae West “ As for Iceland,read about CRISPR....designer babies are coming ! We have been doing it on farms,in racehorses for years......it’s the poor and unintelligent who don’t.
    2
  128. Where were you,when vaccinations were taught in school ?
    2
  129. INEQUALITY.......who would have thought it of a Tory government !
    2
  130. Do you have a dog kennel ? HELP !
    2
  131. “Land of the free”, eh Jim ?
    2
  132. Then don’t listen. Build your own home,car,coffee machine,clothes.Sure after doing all that,you will have time to write stupid comments.
    2
  133. Oh,I must have missed that.When and where did you hear Zahawi,Truss or indeed any member of the Conservative Govt. grapple with their sense of guilt ?
    2
  134. The natural form of the human.......is female ! Congratulations Finland.(U.K.)
    2
  135. Im fast reaching the conclusion. that the world would be a far better place,if the countries were run by women.
    2
  136. Did she vote for 12yrs of Conservative Govt. energy policy ? The Duke of Devonshire is very happy that granny is paying his heating bill. Wiki: the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme 2011.
    2
  137. What!!! Show empathy,care for people less fortunate than ourselves……sadly,we are Conservative Britain,not European.
    2
  138. The BBC is far better than anything Murdoch produces.
    2
  139. In the 21st century,do we still need fairytale stories of castles,princesses and toy soldiers ? All this outrage,all these opinions,all stirred up by the right-wing press trying to preserve an outdated class system. Just like Brexit you are being manipulated,by the upper class into what to think.
    2
  140. MORE TAXES !…….Income Tax,National Insurance Tax,Value Added Tax,Council Tax,Road Tax,Petrol Tax,Alcohol Tax,Tobacco Tax,Land Registry Tax,Inheritance Tax…….what do the Tories do with it all? If this is the party that’s ‘good with money’……at least the Lib/Labs give us houses,services and wages.
    2
  141. Cretin
    2
  142. The Republican Party is as corrupt as the ex-president.If the ballot was in secret,he would rightly be found guilty.
    2
  143. What a joke…..from Education to Chancellor ! Britain is a multi-billion pound economy,not a corner shop,let alone trust an incompetent,lying,schoolboy as CEO.
    2
  144. Whitewash !
    2
  145. I see that the EU has just extended the ban on roaming charges until 2032. The stupidity of Brexit.
    2

  189. Take a look at the devastation in Gaza,take a look at the dead in Gaza……does it look as if Israel cares about the hostages……and I would remind you thar it was Israeli helicopter gunships that fired on vehicles going back to Gaza,killing both terrorists and hostages. Does it not strike you as odd,that a country so proud of its intelligence service,it’s army,took no notice of warnings from America,Egypt and its own border observers and was “surprised” when Hamas strolled through concrete walls ? In the face of so much Israeli propaganda and barbarity,a little sceptism is needed.

Listening to Farming Today it is no wonder.They haven’t a clue what will happen to lamb exports,potato exports,immigrant workers,antibiotic meat imports,.........but with only 3 weeks to go,neither has Boris !! We do know that tariffs will be put on both fish and lamb,some as high as 40%.Perhaps the Newquay fisherman,who regretted voting for Brexit,will enjoy flying the Union Jack and singing Land of Hope and Glory......as his boat sinks !

It is quicker,cheaper and easier to produce renewable energy from onshore turbines,than it is to drill for oil,gas or coal…….yet the capitalist,right-wing tell us not to do so…….as it will spoil the appearance of the land.We are being conned,lied to,by the climate change deniers……..remember this when you read the comments.

Glad to see they could afford £3 billion x5yrs to support our wealthy landowners and that our fields are growing maize,to go into Digestors,to make even more money.Seriously,Sir James Dyson gets £2m of our taxes,handed to him,just because he owns loads of land.Guess why the rich are rich ?

It would be much easier and cheaper to build wind turbines onshore.The Tory Govt.banned onshore turbines.Since the Queen ‘owns’ the shoreline,companies had to pay £880million to build offshore (75% to Crown Estates,25% to Queen)…..and you,the people pay a ‘green tax’ on your energy bills. Now do you understand why the rich are rich…….and getting richer !!!

  341. Of course the Tory govt. wants to control State Aid (your taxes/our money )......look who and where it’s gone recently......to people with no ferries,to people with no PPI,already we are subsidising landowners with £3 bn a year. Behind every great fortune there is a crime......Balzac.

Some of the big ones,Sir James Dyson,got handed £2 million a year……did the Govt. ever send you £2m ? No ? Probably because you’re not one off the rich,landed elitist,upper class. “Level up “, don’t get conned AGAIN ! Just keep paying your higher taxes,we wouldn’t want Britain to go bankrupt would we ?(£37 billion ! ) Oh,just heard,apparently we are going to ask those “terrible foreigners “ to come back,apparently,amongst the 1 million job vacancies (no income tax,no NI,no vat,no wages,no spending…..no wonder you are paying more,but we can still afford to subsidies the landed gentry to cut their hedges)………there are no lorry drivers !!!

  379. You’d think that if Suella Braverman can learn that it isn’t illegal to seek asylum,that Britain cannot organise a civilised asylum system,then those writing comments could do so as well.Looking at the members of the Conservative Govt. perhaps we ran immigration better before. As for housing,feeding and money…..ask Michelle Mone(a Tory peer) how easy it is to get all 3 and if you haven’t got them…..ask yourself,who elected this government ?
    1
  380. Because “they provide benefit to the public”,qualifies private schools to register as charities.As a result their school fees are exempt from paying VAT.This is estimated to cost £522 million between 2017-22.If the Tory party are intent on “levelling up” and removing inequality,perhaps they should think again.

How wonderful to see so many 21st century English peasants picking up their cudgels and pitch-forks,ready to defend the rich,self-governing elite tax exiles.One wonders how many of them have the £625,000 annual income,needed to become a resident or indeed the private health insurance,needed since there is no NHS.....and the rich have no intention of paying your medical bills ?????
    1
  389.  @ce1834  : Brecqhou,Les Diroulles and Grande Amfroque are Ilas de la Manche,14 miles from France,85 m from England ......they are not part of the U.K.,but self-governing possessions of the Crown.If the Queen wants to possess them perhaps she would like to protect them herself and provide them with electricity....instead of expecting others to pay for them ! Like Bermuda,Caymen and Virgin Islands,Gibraltar,Falklands these islands are off-shore tax havens for the rich.....paid for by the poor. I merely question......why ?

  402. My County Council newsletter informs me that over the last 10 yrs their main govt. grant has been cut from £291m to £20m…..hence much less for housing,education,police and social care ! Apparently nobody cares…..they gave the Tories an 80 seat majority…….who then spent it on nuclear bombs,aircraft carriers,lining their own pockets and £70+ bn on the much needed HS2 ! Reading the comments below,people clearly forget all about this spending,our status as the fifth largest economy,preferring to cut aid for food,education and contraception to poorer countries.As the flag-draped,£200m yacht,full of empty promises,sails into their ports,one hopes they appreciate “global Britain ! Our politicians shame our country.

  403. Supposedly,we have the 5th biggest economy……what a shame that we don’t spend some of that on the people that live here…….we come 17th out of 35 countries for Social Welfare Spending !!! £6billion on 2 aircraft carriers and despite leaving the EU,still subsidising rich landowners.

  430.  @themalaysianpatriot3099  I doubt that all 3 are actual facts. Only 30% of meat is protein,70% is water,carbohydrate,fat. You require protein for growth,so do plants,especially seeds,which can contain 7 -12% protein.
    1
  431.  @themalaysianpatriot3099  Using Land to feed animals is wasteful.Only 10% is converted into meat,90% is used to keep the animal warm,move or excreted.Using land to feed to humans directly makes far more sense. The human body cannot store proteins,excess are converted into urea and excreted……which should make you wonder why paid so much for that expensive steak and why you need to go to the toilet so often.

  486. The idea that Johnson,or indeed any one of our incompetent,lying Conservative Govt.ministers knows or has any interest in developing a renewable energy policy is laughable.Our countryside has been been covered in telegraph poles and electricity pylons for decades,because we all need to communicate,need energy……whether we insulate our homes,build onshore turbines/solar,install Powerwalls or invest in sand/heat storage…..we need a far better renewable energy policy than the present buffoons are capable of producing.

U.K. farmers are using their fields to grow maize,sugar beet,wheat and silage (Farming Today BBC Sounds 7/9/21) to put in digesters,to make ethanol for E10 petrol and methane to make electricity.Both are burnt,both produce CO2. Why have we invested in these when we are trying to reduce CO2 ? Drax power station imports and burns tons of wood pellets through Immingham Docks,from the USA.

  560. .......and to those sitting there going “tutt,tutt”....in the last 5 yrs would it have stopped my local Parish Council raising taxes by 21% and 20%,trying to close/move all Public Footpaths,protecting those killing buzzards and egrets all for the benefit of either themselves or local landowners,some of whom are in receipt of £500,000 farm subsidies a year,whilst they co-opt councillors(elections being too expensive).

Neither Johnson or Patel spoke against those booing at football matches,indeed they already have plans to transport asylum seekers to Rwanda or Ascension Island.Teresa May implemented the WINDRUSH scandal of people who were invited to this country and brought up families.Many still haven’t been compensated.The “Small Axe” tv series shows how they were treated.Much of the Brexit debate centred around nationalism and racism…….what a great success that has been…….no lorry drivers,no farm workers,no care assistants,a shortage of doctors and nurses.Make no mistake…….this Govt. is not averse to pandering to the racist element !!!

  578. The public has had nearly 60 years to see, hear and watch Boris de Pfeffel Johnson,they can hardly pretend that they weren’t aware that he was a spoilt,over-privileged,immoral liar.Nor that he has surrounded himself with a Cabinet of incompetent lap-dogs,who will say and do whatever they are told. They should ask themselves why they not only voted for him,but gave a man of that character so much power.

  582.  @allstarscope  In 21century Britain,it is the peasants who are made to pay for Allegra Stretons party,her £10,416 a month salary.Compare that to a nurse,£2,500.It is the peasants who are made to pay(subsidise)farmers…..Sir James Dyson £2million a yr. In truth,it is the peasants who. are made to make the rich,even richer.As was stated at the beginning….”remove inequality.”

  583.  @wasidanatsali6374  Are you a Murdoch troll ? The inquiry clearly states that it was most prevalent in 38 religious organisations,not public broadcasters.You also appear to have overlooked Prince Andrews behaviour,for some reason !

When I Google Earth,I mainly see green fields(where the rich live) and I love the idea that the poor are paying the Duke of Devonshire,a million pounds to heat Chatsworth House,under the Renewable Heat Incentive Scam.One wonders why he isn’t using the £4bn of useless PPE kit,that our corrupt and incompetent Govt. ordered from their mates !!!

  601. Drax Power station,in the U.K.,emits 14.8m tonnes of CO2…..the third highest in Europe…..by burning wood pellets,imported from USA. The Govt. calls this “green energy” and charges the public “a green energy tax “on all our energy bills !!! Anybody seen a tree grow as fast as it will burn ? Our Govt.thinks they can !!!

  608.  @marklasy6209  People pay VAT on everything,bar food and children’s clothes.It is one of the easiest of taxes to employ,which is why Govt.’s use it.If I use a hotel,restaurant,architect ,or plumber I will be charged.......how strange that the rich are excluded ! You must explain what benefit to the public,schools such as Eton and Harrow are,because it is on that ground they are classed as charities and pay no VAT.....yet you eat,sleep and receive a service there and they are VERY exclusive !!! I would add,your family has almost certainly used tax laws (not available to the public) to pay the fees.

    1
  612. Of course it did Paul.The energy companies had to pay £899m to build on the Queens land.Her cut was 25%,the other 75% went to the Crown Estates(the Govt.) Now they want their £899m back. “Behind every great fortune,there is a crime……Balzac”

  616. I thought Farage said that they were all in hotels ! At least the farmers(the landed gentry) are OK….they are bringing in their workers from Indonesia and Uzbekistan.OK for some,isn’t it !!! Typical right-wing,Tory hypocracy and lies ! Get them out.

  624. You would have thought that after 10 yrs of Tory govt. building more houses would have been an obvious priority,wouldn’t you ! Maybe,privatising the railways…..and losing all that income……..was why they had to re-nationwide it ! PS Much of the ‘borrowed money’has been given out in loans,will be re-coupled in taxes…..does make you wonder if £200m for a yacht , £6 bn for carriers or £70bn for HS2 is sensible though,doesn’t it.

  630. The National Anthem was played the other morning, 17th, July, 2023, was it to celebrate the anniversary of King George V changing their family name from Saxe-Cobourg Gotha to Windsor or Camillas birthday ?

  637. Australian and Canadian Insurance Co. bought my water company because everybody needs water,every day and it made profits.Those profits now go abroad and do little to offset our own taxes.It also means that we don’t even own our own rain…….we just get hissed upon !!!

Have you heard anything from the corrupt Tory Govt. to match the EU…….have you seen the Tories building any houses in the past 10 yrs,have we been self-sufficient in any food……..or do we need a £70 billion train and a £200m boat ?

Very glad to know that taxpayers could still afford to subsidies the landed gentry with £3 billion x5yrs and that last week,the Agriculture Bill said that farmers could keep 7yrs of these payments,as a golden handshake........truly,charity begins at home and levelling up,starts at the top ! They’ll be telling us that they can’t give pay rises to anybody.....except themselves. Which fools gave them an 80 seat majority ?
    1
  649. £37 billion for TracknTrace = Serco = Rupert Soames = Eton = Bullingdon Club !!! With our class system.......”levelling up”.....is just a sound byte for the gullible.

  650. The arrogance of the rich elite,knowing that they have the power. Quite unbelievable that any intelligent human would vote for him.

  651. Farming Today (7/9/21 radio 4 ) At least our landed gentry won’t have to worry……they are growing wheat and sugar beet to produce ethanol,to go into E10 petrol (we may have to import wheat , they are growing maize to go into anaerobic digesters to produce methane (which,when burnt…CO2!) produces electricity and just in case they haven’t enough money…….the ELM’s scheme will subsidise them (yet again ) for cutting their hedges. No wonder 50% of U.K. is owned by 1% of the population and silly people gave them an 80 seat majority.

  663. Interesting to compare Eig with the Govt’s energy policy. Ban onshore wind turbines,build offshore (charge £880 m for building on the Queens property…..which we pay as “green taxes”.) Give farmers millions + 20 yr contracts to produce biogas,in anaerobic digesters (biogas being 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide ) We burn the methane (making more CO2 )……..and who knows what they do with the other 40%……..release it into the atmosphere ???? Making the rich even richer …….sounds like typical Tory policy…..who needs renewable energy ?
    1
  664. Government Ministers have said; 1) Rees-Mogg:-this is a clear Brexit benefit as it allows the U.K. to reduce its CO2 emissions without interference from the EU. 2) Patel:- this will reduce immigration,as there will be fewer wheel spaces to hide in.3)de Pfeffel:- was on holiday,but sent an email…..” f*** business.” Tory Britain…….Get them out !.

  668.  @IDF662 That is EXACTLY the same story,reported by an honest and reliable reporter that I heard……it is not rubbish. She was found alongside a marked ambulance,that had been given Israeli permission to go and rescue her…..both the ambulance and the medics, Yusuf Zein and Ahmed Al Madhoun were found riddled with bullets. The barbarity and atrocities of the IDF are mounting,they are neither isolated nor propaganda…..which is why even political allies are demanding changes and Israel is isolating itself from civilised nations.

  669. Any of these commentators remember voting Conservative for the past 12 years ? Buffoon/Boris,trash the economy/Truss,money/Mone…….why winge about money,housing when it’s your own Tory Govt. that has brought in 45,000 agricultural workers,270,000 students….oh,and a few of their Russian cronies……where do you think they live ?

  670.  @unionjackjackson4352  The money came out of the Iranian Central Bank.The people of Iran put it there when they were taxed.The tanks were ordered and paid for.The U.K. Govt. failed to deliver,failed to return the money. The new Iranian Govt. was elected by the people,just because Britain didn’t like it,doesn’t mean that they are entitled to keep the money. Plenty of countries might not like lying,corrupt,racist Govt’s. like Trumps or Johnson’s !!!

  671. At least the U.K. Govt aren’t totally incompetent…….they managed to hand out billions to their business friends,put a Russian in the House of Lords,get the public to subsidise hedge-cutting for landowners like themselves,still not pay any VAT for Eton and knight Gavin Williamson…….so who cares if we give refugees the run around and lie again ?

  733. Good to see that 3 constituencies (Boston & Skegness,Louth,Deepings) in Lincolnshire still think that Brexit has improved their lives…….it probably explains their two nicknames:- “Yellowbellies and Carrotcrunchers”. Since it is so rural,they prefer the new ELMS payments to farmers,for cutting their hedges,rather than decent education and health services. Fools.

  759. If psychopaths,fools and idiots can become world leaders,with the power to destroy thousands of lives……shouldn’t we all be pushing for the development of more renewable energy ?
    1
  760. Whilst coal may be more polluting,can anyone explain why the U.K. Govt. has invested millions putting anaerobic digesters on their landed gentry friends farms ? Biogas is 60% methane,40% carbon dioxide….both of which are g/house gasses. How typical that the Tories use taxpayers money to enrich the rich with free energy and an income source,whilst failing to invest in renewable energy.

  766.  @SaintDomingue1994  It is not laziness if you live in “a safe seat” ! £1,000 says a Tory will win my constituency in 2 yrs time.! Care to take the bet ? FPTP is a poor voting system.Millions of votes are totally pointless,not even worth going to vote for.
    1
  767.  @SaintDomingue1994  No it’s not ! It may be English democracy,where those in power ensure that they will be returned to Parliament,even if they don’t have a majority. It is not even the system used in most parts of the U.K….NI,Scotland,Wales . I wonder why we are seeing one of the most corrupt and incompetent Govt.’s in our history ? Wiki FPTP voting.
    1
  768. Remember the Isle of Wight ‘track n trace’ that was abandoned because it didn’t work ?Remember the £12 billion that was handed to private companies and is only 60% efficient ? Welcome to Boris Britain ! At least he’s managed to find £15billion to keep subsidising the rich landowners,so you won’t starve,even if our schoolchildren do.

  782. It was a Tory Govt. who closed the mines (bonus….break the Unions).They still haven’t decided whether to give billions of our taxes to the French/Chinese to supply nuclear energy.They have decided that you can’t have subsidised solar panels,nor on-shore turbines……but you can pay to import wood pellets,to burn(CO2) in our power stations,all the way from America. Now,they have decided that we should all buy our electricity from their mates,the landed gentry,the farmers.Just loan them taxpayers money,give them guaranteed prices and 20 yr contracts……they use their fields to grow stuff to go into digesters…..hey presto……call it “green energy”……everybody happy……..and the rich get richer !!! The UK’s energy policy………and somebody gave them 5 more yrs and a huge majority !!!!!

  785.  Dorothy Barclay  I take it you wouldn’t mind being told that you would be having a 14% pay cut next week.? This is how much the EU will no longer be returning to our universities for R and D,now that we have left Erasmus,nor will they pay for those studying languages to study abroad.Instead Doris says we will (sorry....he means YOU ) pay for them to study at uni’s worldwide (that should be much cheaper !)Still,what trust do you put in a Tory promise ?

  786.  @petesthename1588  : Hear,hear.....far better to live under Tory ideals....like the Banking crash and 10 yrs of austerity.As the Panama papers revealed,our present borrowing will be paid by those with off-shore accounts,won’t it?

  789. Dear Mr Moss, The next time you see a car factory on TV,look closely at the automated machines.They weld better,they paint better,they don’t need tea-breaks,they don’t need pensions......they don’t need paying.Are you qualified to either build or service them.......cos they will increase ? Assuming that you have any money,enjoy your fish !

  800. “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.......Balzac “. Note,that we are also subsidising rich landowners with £3 billion a year(presumably,to grow food) WRONG ! They are growing maize to go into anaerobic digesters,to make methane,to burn(CO2),to make electricity......to sell to us ! It makes more money(20yr contracts,set prices).......this is what Tory’s call “ levelling up”! And naive people gave them an 80 seat majority.......!

  802. In 2008 the Govt. gave the go-ahead for a nuclear reactor at Hinckley Point C…..to be built by French and Chinese companies…..the recent secret Australian submarine deal may cause problems to both…….as does the lack of a reactor to Johnson’s fascile zero-carbon energy policy promises !!!

  804. One hopes your children won’t mind being unable to afford their own home,having a huge debt for years after university and paying off the £86bn a year,debt interest payment,accrued by having 12yrs of Tory Govt. under this incompetent,lying and corrupt favourite PM
    1
  805.
