  1. If defund the police is a movement from America where, as the caller says, they spend a lot more money on policing than we do here, if that is the case why do we need it here?

  2. So who runs this country the government we elected or the WHO? We elected a government to make decisions not a bunch of people who delegate the job to others.

  3. The MP's and councillors need investigating as well. Very hard to believe they would turn a blind eye to this for years without some incentive. After all it is a crime so the MP's and councillors have authority on their side, to not use it indicates they were complicit.

  4. How can they still claim that lockdowns work??

  5. I suggest we start looking at which parts of our normal behaviour fall outside of Sharia law and then look at which of our freedoms are being removed.

  6. And he finished with 'reset'. They're all in on it.

  7. Again I can draw a parallel to the end of the Roman civilisation where they devalued the money so far that they paid soldiers with slaves who worked on the soldiers farms. The other farmers could not compete with free labour.

  10. What these two are talking about could just as easily be said about ANTIFA, extinction rebellion, the climate change brigade, BLM, the nutcases running riot in America with their autonomous zones out of the Walking Dead. People lashing out when challenged? ANTIFA have been violently attacking people who disagree with them since they began. It really is sickening listening to these people.

  13. Britons today are asked to answer for those of the past. I'd say that's an unfair apportioning of blame.

  14. Remember Dr Vernon Coleman? The old man in a chair. He talked of exactly this.

  15. What a simpleton. He did not clock that laws made by one government will be inherited by future governments with motives that you cannot predict?

  16. As far as I can tell Ferrari's argument just doesn't work. If the vaccine prevents against the new Brazilian strain and the Peterborough strain, then those who take it still have nothing to worry about regardless of who else takes it. If a person doesn't take it they put themselves at risk, which is their decision, and those others that have decided to take that risk.

  17. I asked a checkout attendant at the supermarket if they knew anyone who worked at the supermarket who had CoVid and the answer was no. Everyone in the community uses the supermarket so the staff come into contact with everyone yet none of the staff have had it.

  19. The tactic is to exploit our liberal ways to allow ridiculous things like transgender. Some people will take a stand against it and start to agree with the new religion. The alternative is collapse of society. Either way we loose.

  20. James is nothing if not dependable. I know exactly what line he is going to take on a subject without even listening him.

  21. We use cutlery party to remove being infected from whatever may be on a persons hands thereby improving sanitation. Some countries are known to eat with their fingers and wipe their arses with their hands. Are we to become like that?

  22. You are coerced. Is this how you want the government to operate in future? Because this is just the beginning.

  23.  @Olly_2024_  Why should events require vaccination? If you have decided to be vaccinated then you are not at risk, if you have decided to take the risk then you bear the consequences.

  24. Don't give them any credit. Why should people work to provide for the wilfully idle?

  25. I think the problem is there just are not enough Police and crime has been allowed to grow. UK citizens used to be allowed to buy firearms. Police didn't carry firearms then and they managed to keep the cities more civilised than they are now. There has been a change in values that has been gaining pace and the social disintegration we are seeing now is the effect of those changes running their course.

  30. Went to the supermarket this evening. Shelves are bare. No bread, no meat, no butter, no frozen goods (except for a pile of pizza everyone has avoided), no cans, chopped tomatoes went last week, not even Marmite! And they have bought up all the fresh vegetables! They don't even keep. You have over a 90% chance of surviving if you get it so people really need to get a grip otherwise more people are going to die of starvation. But it all appears to be a excuse to bring in authoritarian measures backed up by communism (UBI). We had SARS and 55K people died of that but we didn't have the nonsense that's going on now.

  37. If he donated his whole 12B to the NHS they would spend it all in less than a month. That 12B could be invested in companies who will produce more down the line.

  38. Maybe BLM can go and tear the buildings down. But if there are no black people enslaved then I guess they don't care. It's not as if they called themselves All Lives Matter.

  40. +Veronica Jones It is the political disease. To gain the broader appeal he needs he has sacrificed some of his more radical message. I've noticed it as well.

  41.  @Gav_80085  Actually it's easy. The concept that appears difficult to grasp is that each person can perform their own risk assessment and take the steps to protect themselves if they feel necessary without imposing onto anyone else.

  42.  @sir7586  A government is not elected for one purpose. They have to be able to do everything required.

  46. America had the Bubonic plague a few years ago. Madagascar has the Pneumonic plague in 2014 and 2017. That's far worse. It pops up frequently.

  47. No. We have local government to take care of day to day running and local issues. It falls to local government to do something about it first. Until they can show they have attempted to solve the issue but failed for reasons out of their control, passing the buck up means they are irresponsible. They had the authority to do something and the means yet nothing has been done.

  48. The ultimate regulation is the consumer. Most newspapers and TV channels have political leanings, people cannot help themselves. But in a free market people do not have to consume what they do not agree with. In the new media domain there are producers with a different political bias to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook but the problem is that they must be hosted by the same companies that own YouTube, Twitter, Facebook so there is a conflict of interest and they will not host platforms with a different political bias to their own. This could be solved by anti-trust legislation. The social media giants have utility status to host a platform but act as a publisher when they censor something with a different political bias. They should be broken up. Hosting services separated from content. Hosting services can continue to enjoy the status of a utility but they are not allowed to refuse platforms that are breaking no laws. All other services will have the status of publishers. Microsoft was stopped from dominating the internet by anti-trust measures, if they had not been stopped then Google etc may not have flourished. I see no reason why the new tech giants should not have anti-trust measure against their monopoly of social media.

  49. 4:25 What a backward statement. Politicians get held to account for lying because we know who they are.

  50. Avi Hyman told us yesterday on GB News that the IDF will conduct an investigation. The IDF has not done so yet, but it will. He then went on to say that hopefully it would find that it was not the fault of the IDF. So it sounds like they have decided the outcome of the 'independent' investigation, before it has even started. Pull the other one.

  51. My guess is that companies (big ones) are going to face bankruptcy. The economy is only just surviving now. The debt is massive and the interest rates are almost 0. If we have to bail out all the companies that start to go under then the debt will be even larger than bailing out the banks. This could be the final nail.

  52. There's nothing you can do, just give up.

  53. To add to that if more people had been exposed to the virus in the summer when they were more likely to survive then there would not be as many cases now. We just saved up the problem for the worst time of the year.

  54. Why don't ANTIFA defend Churchills statue? He was the only person to stand up to real fascism, he must be their mascot. You can see how these people are just tools being used. You can't use ANTIFA to take down Churchill - it would give the game away. You have to create another victim group and use them instead.

  59. They have enough victim groups that anything can be taken down. And once everything is taken down how can the victim groups livewith each other? How can ANTIFA coexist with people who want to take down Churchills statue? Churchill was the only ANTIFA of his day.

  60. Taking preemptive action sounds reasonable but if they shut schools now they will have to shut them for months. Even the growth rate goes down in this country we are still open to a second wave if other countries have it.

  63. The frequencies being used in 5G are in the microwave spectrum. Only a liar or an idiot would suggest that there is no possible health impact of radiowaves. All matter absorbs radiowaves of certain frequencies and microwaves are absorbed by water. That is how a microwave over works and is why there is a metallic screen in the door of a microwave oven. Microwave links have been used in compter networking for decades. I witnessed an installation between two buildings of a TV broadcaster in London. They had used a point-to-point microwave link rather than digging up the road to install cable. The microwave link was mounted high off the ground so as to go above peoples heads. But birds that flew through the directed beam would get microwaved.

  66. 19 people per 100,000 contracted CoVid where I live but the population is no more than 10,000. Out of those 19 people 3% die of CoVid so that's 0.57 people per 100,000 from a population of 10,000.

  67.  @korenmoscovich4681  A computer model is just a human construct. It's the product of a mathematician just as a painting is the product of an artist. In this case the painting has no clouds because the mathematicians don't know how they influence the climate.

  68. People like you happened.

  69. People really need to use their own brain a bit more. If a person was released from hospital with CoVid the then first person who needs to ask themselves a question is the person culpable for releasing the patient. What do they expect? Is everyone supposed to ask Boris what decision to make on every occasion? Expecting other people to make everything ok, not going to work is it.

  71. The women is basically upset that she is a tax payer and receives not benefits. Instead she pays the benefits of the drop outs and drug addicts. All tax payers can sympathise with that but her solution is wrong. She wants some benefits as well. The solution is cut the benefits of those who won't pay in.

  72. They had a policy of unmeans tested benefits in the last years of Rome.

  73. Using racial tensions to get support for a government. Isn't that page 1 of the Labour play book? Isn't that exactly what BLM is being used for? Just as America goes into campaign season and at the same time they can sew division here.

  74. I agree with Nigel on this stuff but his opinion on the CoVid 'crisis' I do not. Just look at how willing the government is to spend billions, no doubt borrowed money, to stop the country working! It's so easy for them to find the money for us to do nothing but destroy our economy and our own future. We are literally borrowing billions to destroy our own nation. Yet they won't spend a penny on the armed forces that protect us. They won't spend a penny on fixing the roads, policing, schools, hospitals, prisons. Nothing. They could have lend a mere 300M to the company in Whitby mining for fertiliser and it would have unlocked a 2B further loan to finish the mine. It would have reduced our trade deficit by 7% alone. Where is the value for money when we spend billions on doing nothing? Not only do we need answers we need to stop this here and now!

  75. It appears that Rishi is rather dangerous. Not only did he oust the candidate chosen over him, now he has ousted the former prime minister, and he is still going after him. Quite the gangsta.

  76.  @joyceb8407  My Dad died because the GP misdiagnosed his cancer for about a year. Spread around the body. Then he had chemotherapy. Problem was he was a type 1 diabetes sufferer and his kidneys were damaged. Chemo killed his kidneys. They put him on dialysis for a day then said it filtered out the chemo drug. If they kept him on dialysis he would die of cancer, if they took him off he would die of kidney failure. They decided to do no for him and he died. But he had done everything right with the cancer. Said about it early but the doctor kept treating it with antibiotics. Still, no more diabetes treatment required.

  80. The air pollution they are talking about here is nitric oxide and particulate matter not CO2 (which is not a pollutant). Maybe what you are getting at is that diesel vehicles were promoted to reduce CO2 unnecessarily but they create air pollution instead.

  81. False arrest? You mean arresting people when there is no suspicion of a crime? Because people are arrested on suspicion, trial has to follow where evidence is presented or culpability is admitted.
    1
  82.  @SammyInnit  'Under PACE the police cannot stop or arrest anyone for the purpose of looking for suspicion.' Double speak. If you look suspicious to someone then they are suspicious of you. They have to show credible reason for being suspicious.

  83. James O'Brain Dead Deceiver. The CoVid effect on Britain has been delayed in comparison to other nations. Not surprising when we are an island. While the virus was spreading here in single digits France and Germany's cases were sky rocketing. Those nations also passed the peak before we did therefore their death rate and new case rate is low while ours is still declining. But if you care to look at the figures the death rate and rate of new infections is dropping because we have also passed the peak. The death rate in particular follows a clear pattern of decline and within that trend there are periodic spikes for up to 4 days followed by large drops in death rate. The deceiver has simply picked a day during the spike period.

  84. Soros has a tool for every job doesn't he. Couldn't very well use Antifa to attack Churchills statue, they would expose themselves for what they are so he can use BLM instead. And if he wants to start a bush fire he can send in extinction rebellion. These organisations have different names but they are all Marxists.
    1
  85. They did well at keeping the deaths down but the number of cases rose very rapidly at the start, far quicker than here. Here our deaths seem to be reported as people dying 'with' CV.

  86. James is half right about this. The papers come out will all sorts of outrage stories that are aimed at conservative readers. Yet as James points out nobody you meet is really outraged. So what does that tell us? The papers are making it up and the conservative people are not falling for it. But there are plenty of people who are very vocal about their vegan diets, the mistreatment of animals, environmental issues. Plenty of very forceful attitudes on politics. Why is there a guy who is still shouting through a mega phone on college green every day? Why is it a bunch of people decided to protest against the Conservatives winning the election fair and square? These are the extreme people and the media does not even have to print a word to provoke them.

  92. 'All the products we import from China where they get the energy from burning coal.' Well guess what? That's what happens when you outsource all manufacturing to another country. We have not direct influence over their policies. We raised this issue long ago but the climate brigade paid no attention because they cannot find two brain cells between themselves.

  103. The racial distribution of police officers might not be similar to that of the whole population but you have to ask is that because trainees fail to qualify or is it because few people from racial groups other than white British want to join? I would expect more intelligent reasoning from an MP.

  104.  @Brajaxo  But people do not gain immunity when they are in isolation and I hazard a guess that the virus does not disappear so as soon as lockdown ends people get it again. And that's what the empirical evidence shows - the number of cases now far exceeds the cases prior to the first lockdown, do they not? Otherwise we would not need a second lockdown.

  105.  @Brajaxo  You population density figures are a disingenuous. Sweden has low population density only if you disregard that most of it is uninhabited due to being in the arctic circle. It has slightly greater urban density that the UK because everyone lives in a few cities. And it is similar for Finland.
    1
  106.  @solentforest  I'm not making any comparison between Sweden and Italy. I am stating that the overall population density is misleading. Nobody lives in the arctic circle - its too cold. They all live close together in urban populations. As for how much travel there is between cities, well I doubt it differs much from any other country. Have you got evidence to the contrary?

  109. 'if the Conservatives have so much power in today's parliament then why don't they do something about this issue???' He is and it's not his constituency. The real question is why didn't the Labour MP for that constituency investigate and provide credible evidence? Maybe people knew there was no point in raising the issue with their MP because they knew nothing would get done. The responsible person here is Andrew Bridgen.
