  1. Only one thing to say No TV No licence No BBC

  2.  @DeviantDeveloper  Malicious entities act out of self interest. But I do question whether there is a single malicious entity or if we have just lost our way and blindly walking into our own destruction.

  3. I've never worn one. Not paid much attention to the mandates.

  4. Bath is a beautiful city. The buildings are definitely uplifting.

  5. British comedy is not dead. Comedy Unleashed is blazing a trail. Until I saw that a few weeks ago I would have agreed that British comedy is dead. Before seeing Comedy Unleashed I had not watched any comedy since I stopped watching TV about 20 years ago and BBC comedy was a big contributing factor. But the thing is the left always proclaimed they were the alternative but now they are the establishment and they are tyrannical, they have had their revolution, they are at the top of the wheel and the only way for them now is down. 2016 was the watershed, the high tide mark, peak alt-left.

  6. That's what they have achieved. The politicians 20 - 30 years from now will be drawn from those people. They have sewn the seed, at the very least, they can wait for it to bear fruit.

  7. Post-modernism tells us there is no such thing as consensus, except when science or the post-modernists have reached a consensus, and then it is canon. The inconsistencies are ridiculous, they should just drop the facade and tell us the truth is whatever suits their dictatorship.

  8. Maybe we should all move to America. The culture is about as close as you could get and the language is English.

  9. Switzerland maintained independence without going to war - they just supplied the NAZI with arms for the first year of WWII.

  10.  @mooseyman74  They will be even more in favour. Money and power is what they crave and will suck up to those that have it.

  11. How disrespectful that they cannot even look up from their phones or stop shuffling papers. As if it is of no concern.

  12. Every person, society, civilisation takes knocks. The ones that fail are the ones that don't get back up. People looking for a challenge or to do something big in the world - now is the time.

  13. The Chinese rocket that just came down was called 'The Long March 5B'

  14. When they become a commercially funded organisation and change the name, they can be as politically biased as their revenue allows. Until then, No TV = No Licence = No BBC.

  15. @Pale Rider Yes, but you understand what I was trying to say? Besides, I thought it was sex that was agreed could not be changed. And that's why they do not say transsexual any more, as they did in The Rocky Horror Show. Instead, the term is now transgender, because they believe gender is a 'social constuct' or something, rather than physically immutable. But who knows, that's so last week.

  16. If they demonise men then they demonise fathers. Then children grow up without a proper family.

  17. I think the people of this country can see through Meghan and will have some sympathy for Harry. What those two have done is more likely to rally people around the institution of the monarchy. The real worry I have for the monarchy is that they are now speaking the words of the woke. 'Strength in diversity', 'defender of faiths' (plural), eco nonsense.

  18. Rwanda is better than the Ascension Island. Rwanda is not Britain, while Ascention is British territory. Once they are on Ascension, lawyers can say they are already in Britain and use it as leverage.

  19. Isn't he describing mass formation?

  20. If we forget our history of slavery it makes it all the easier to go down that path again. History isn't always recorded for celebration, there are other reasons.

  21.  @garethedwardking5860  I can only guess that people have been led to this unwittingly for decades. But I'm sorry to say I've started to consider if these people are worth it.

  22. Get Jeremy on as a GB News presenter.

  23.  @leehallam9365  I take your point and it was on my mind but on closer inspection people did not exactly have free choice. They still closed other restaurant and eateries. The property with the greatest weight when classifying whether a business was allowed to stay open was the size of the company. Big business has been allowed to stay open while small businesses have been closed. And to that I'll add, people are allowed free choice to drink and smoke but they are both heavily taxed. That goes some way to paying the health care costs. But that is also a disapproval of peoples habits when given free will. So perhaps we should allow people their free will, cut all those taxes and at the same time cut the NHS back to A&E only.

  24.  @rupsurfer  as carers, baristas, fruit pickers? no industry though.

  25. The BBC is easy. Don't watch, don't have a TV, they get no money and their message goes nowhere. They are on the way out.

  26. Might have helped if they had spelled it Parlez or one of the other alternatives. Maybe that was just too far from mainstream for them.

  27. CO2 emissions are down, CO2 level is up.

  28. You can't use animals names to insult people because it harms animals?? Did no one tell Biden he can't call people 'Dog faced pony soldiers'?

  29. "Give to Ceasar what [is] Ceasar's ..." taken as quoted it sounds ambiguous. Does that mean Ceasar owns the money because it has his head on it but Ceasar has no claim on anything else?

  30. It would be even better if we had someone who could tell us how to avert it. Really is there any greatness in narrating ones own demise?

  31.  @nikkygovier3783  Once you spot it you can build resistance. In my case I am isolated from family, as for friends, well I don't have any. But I have dodged the bombardment of the message because I eschew the BBC and treat all media with distrust. I dare say I have an above average grasp of logic which gives me a sense for contradiction. If you can knock out 2 of the 3 pillars then the house collapses.

  32. This may be a move to completely debase fiat currency so that we do in fact move to a different currency. Maybe a cryptocurrency so Dominic may get what he wishes for. But is that a good thing? Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. There is an absolute maximum of 23M bitcoins. Some of those have been lost already in wallets that have been lost on peoples computers - remember the guy who threw away his laptop with the key to his wallet on it? Now the lost bitcoins are out of circulation there are only 21M possible bitcoins. So the value of bitcoin increases overtime rather and decreasing. That encourages people to save rather than spend. You will still get no interest on your savings because there is no money to pay to savers. Furthermore if you have debt then you are in trouble. The problem is that it really does become impossible to repay debt because there really is not enough money to pay it. With a fiat currency there is no limit to the amount of money. It is always possible to repay debt by borrowing more. It incurs more interest but that can be paid in the same way. If the rate of monetary increase is greater than the demand for money then there will be price inflation and the money hase been devalued because there is more money sloshing about with the same amount of goods and services to pay for. Price inflation encourages people to spend rather than save. Having a limitless currency is not necessarily a bad thing. It is always possible to meet demand for money such as when the population increases. The rate of monetary increase is what is important. It must equal demand. No more and no less. Otherwise you get deflation or inflation and neither of those are desirable.

  33. The Guy Fawkes masks worn by Anonymous are from the film V For Vendetta.

  34.  @user-sw2lv3zp6o  All Peter Hitchens ever does is reminisce about the past, rail against the present but then tell us there is no future. He is so downbeat you could mistake him for an agent of despair, here to convince us not to even bother opposing. Clearing the way for the communists.

  35. I read about people in China contracting CoVid in late October. I know it was late October because I talked to someone about it, they didn't believe me, and later we talked about Guy Fawkes, because November the 5th was approaching.

  36. Was it SARS in China or Sarin in Tokyo when people in those places started wearing masks? They never stopped. The media always told us that the masks had no effect, yet now we are being told to wear them.

  37. I'm not a voter for London Mayor, but he seems pretty good. The problem is there are many candidates in opposition to Sadiq that will split the vote. I fear Sadiq will get in again for this reason. I think we should abolish the Mayor and all these positions like crime commissioner. It politicises organisations that are supposed to be separate from politics.

  38.  @ColonelRoge  I hope it was the YT algorithm. You can't champion free speech and then take down peoples comments. It wasn't even controversial. The Anglo-Saxon on might have been though.

  39. And someone else made a whole film out of a Hitler joke that is running in cinemas now.

  40. People cannot help but lean to one side of politics or another. The social media giants started with intention to operate impartially but they have failed. They need anti-trust actions against them. Microsoft did when they tried to dominate the internet and the social media giants should now. The problem now the companies that host social media platforms have their own platforms, if a customer takes an opposite political stance to the social media giant then it can stop hosting them. Therefore they are competing with their customers and there is a conflict of interest. The first thing that needs to take place is that they need to be broken up into separate organisations for hosting services and social media platforms. The hosting services can enjoy the status of a utility company on the condition that they do not refuse to host any legal platform. The social media platforms can be just as political as a news paper or other media outlet but they cannot enjoy the status of a utility.

  41.  @ottosump3356  My guess is they thought after two world wars that the west had something wrong with it.

  42. The question is did Priti Patel become the owner when she took the job of home secretary or did she own it before? I guess the records are in companies house.

  43. And the view from Solsbury Hill is a treat.

  44. Germans hate our system of law. They are here at universities doing everything can to codify our law so it can be administered by IT systems. But they cannot do it and they hate that. German law is so much better than British law, they say.

  45. I think Rafe is fighting the wrong battle with this one. Why celebrate how multicultural Britain is? It's a broken society full of distrust, and dysfunction. In one breath the right argue for controlled migration, and less of it, in the next breath they are talking up what a good place this is for migrants. But everyone knows it's a disaster.

  47. Maybe it's because we finished paying back the debt that this has flared up again. People not satisfied.

  48. Perhaps Hollywood has picked up on the new cultural movement, that is that the left-wing have had their revolution and they are now the establishment not the alternative. They are no longer the cool counterculture and the only way for them now is down. Perhaps Hollywood is making films to pander to a new revolution.

  49. In my mind it's not right or left. It's individualist or collectivist. Socialism, communism even fascism, these are all collectivist strategies. All collectivist strategies are authoritarian. To form the collective there must be authority and then to maintain the collective particularly in times of crisis authority is required otherwise people will put their individual needs before those of the collective. I think this goes all the way back to hunter-gathers. Some people go out and hunt, these people are more independent and individual and they have the ability to take what they require. Others have to look after the young and old, they are the collective. Unlike the hunters they do not have the ability to take what they need, this gives them a curious sense of entitlement. They feel entitled because they know they must be given what they need therefore they feel no gratitude.

  50. When was asked at work to provide my pronouns, I replied ‘King’. Not technically a pronoun, but if a man can call themselves a woman, then I am the King of England.
