  1. And they say the Germans don't have a sense of humour.
    4300
  2. You know you're not popular when you have to body search your own troops!
    3400
  3. Like most of Europe, the Dutch are sick of people who come to their country with no intention of integrating, and a total contempt for the customs and values of that country.
    2100
  4. Just look at what migrants have done to Sweden, which was once such a wonderful country!
    2000
  5. The more we learn, the scarier it becomes. I'm so glad I wasn't duped into having a "vaccine" I didn't need.
    2000
  6. Putin please note. This is what one calls a "special military operation".
    1800
  7. Let's stop calling them "grooming gangs": RAPE GANGS.
    1800
  8. Whatever the law says, most of us think that someone who breaks a policewoman's nose is far more worthy of a jail term. Yet that somebody hasn't even been charged! As I quoted before, Lord Denning is reputed to have said: "I can give you a judgment according to English law, but I cannot guarantee to give you justice.
    1800
  9. So right. All over the world, honest decent people are cheering these Canadian Truckers. I'm waiting for the T-shirts and sweatshirts that read "Truck the Government!"
    1700
  10. What about disgust at the lawyers who have stuffed their pockets trying to keep these animals in this country?
    1600
  11. When Putin makes public appearances the best of these snipers could change history if they were in the right place.
    1500
  12. How many years did his innocent little daughter live in terror?
    1400
  13. If Russia will struggle to replenish its forces then now would be an ideal time for regions that want to break away from Russia, of which there are quite a few, to make a bid for freedom. A better opportunity than now may never present itself. Also, those being oppressed by the Fat Dictator in Belarus should take note than Putin is currently in no position to provide him with any support.
    1400
  14. People don't want their daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends put at risk. Funny, that.
    1400
  15. I wonder how Bryce would react if people were denying that slavery happened.
    1300
  16. North Korean engineering at its best.
    1200
  17. I won't hold my breath waiting for Starmer to condemn "far-left thugs" or "Muslim thugs". Can't see many police in this video.
    1100
  18. To go with two-tier policing we have two-tier justice. I'm very far from being the only one outraged that the animal who broke a policewoman's nose doesn't even appear to have been charged, while others who have done far less are being jailed.
    1000
  19. This is why I would never call Hamas animals. Because even animals wouldn't do things like this.
    1000
  20. It's impossible to overstate the importance of Russia being convinced that using nuclear weapons will cost it far more than it could hope to gain.
    1000
  21. Excellent! It's about time Ukraine took the fight into Russia. Then maybe Russians will start to appreciate what's really going on in Ukraine. Belarus should also get some of the same for allowing Russia to attack through it's territory.
    1000
  22. Anyone who would even consider introducing blasphemy laws in the 21st century is seriously lacking in judgement!
    953
  23. Speculating on whether a child will be a boy or a girl doesn't make one a sexist. It's also fine to wonder what colour eyes and hair they might have. Equally, except in the eyes of Harry and Megan, wondering about a child's complexion doesn't make you a racist.
    938
  24. We need these Spanish police patrolling our shores!
    924
  25. As well as depriving Putin of oil and gas revenue, this is a great way to show ordinary Russians what's really going on, as this kind of thing is impossible to hide from them.
    874
  26. Still no description of the girl, woman or assailant. This is why rumours start and people don't trust the police.
    858
  27. If you had a daughter would you want 1500 young men, from cultures that don't respect women, near you?
    852
  28. Why don't these Russians have the sense to surrender as soon as they get the chance? Do they not realise that they are fighting, and dying, to keep a pathetic coward in power?
    790
  29. The head teacher should be sacked immediately. Parents must be sure that their kids are safe at school. Encouraging them to adopt behaviours that go against what the vast majority of them would feel is natural, or be comfortable with, is completely abhorrent.
    784
  30. A very important part of freedom and democracy is NOT stifling the voices of those who say things you don't want to hear!
    771
  31. Now he knows how tens of thousands of good decent Jews in London feel!
    765
  32. Never in this country has there been a more urgent need for an alternative to both the Tories and Labour!
    731
  33. Am I the only one that thinks it's way past time than wearing masks at protests, demonstrations and similar gatherings was made illegal, and that those doing so should automatically receive prison terms?
    729
  34. The bent lawyers of these animals will try to claim that she headbutted them with her face.
    722
  35. What's "unacceptable" is to fly one of your craft right across the US. I wonder if Emperor Xi would let the US fly a balloon right across China?
    714
  36. People are fighting back against oppression. As the old saying goes: "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"
    686
  37. Only in the ultra woke UK could we have GPs like this. If this GP supports Hamas he shouldn't be investigated, he should be deported!
    680
  38. Decent Europeans are sick of having their countries destroyed by people who have contempt for their customs, values and laws. You can see the terrible damage that such people have done to Sweden and Ireland, to name but two. Wanting to protect ones country, way of life, and family doesn't make one right-wing, let alone far-right.
    674
  39. A small taste of what so many Ukrainian women and children have been going through for 3 years.
    673
  40. "reduce offensives as a goodwill gesture". More like regroup and resupply. Hopefully the Ukrainians will do all they can to prevent this happening.
    666
  41. In the UK we have Gay Olly strutting his Hamas credentials. The LGBT brigade supporting Hamas is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
    663
  42. And another one later down the road if they still stubbornly refuse to die.
    622
  43. Yes Fulani it WAS someone just being curious, but you CHOSE to take offence at a totally innocent question. Would it have killed you to say something like "my mother came from Gambia"? I too am born and bred in Britain, with a British passport. But I'm quite happy, and proud, to tell people that my father was Polish, and my mother Irish.
    622
  44. This is why it's so important that NATO and the West really steps up its aid to Ukraine. Don't allow Putin the slightest pause to catch his breath. Then, with a little sense and luck, his own betrayed Russian people will deal with him.
    614
  45. Those who would leave Ukraine to Putin's tender mercies would do well to remember that he fully supported this, and does the same kind of thing himself.
    608
  46. As most Irish people will readily tell you, for most of the time since independence their politicians have been very corrupt and self-serving, and sold ordinary Irish people down the river without the slightest hesitation or regret.
    608
  47. Just imagine one of our self-serving politicians on the front line.
    607
  48. Would you trust someone who shut off his satellite system to help Putin?
    600
  49. That's the difference between murdering defenceless women and children, and going up against real soldiers. When the Orcs go up against soldiers they get toasted: literally.
    597
  50. I hope Russia does, because there are so many Poles and Lithuanians that would love the chance to annihilate any Orcs entering that corridor. And I expect that they would be annihilated very quickly, followed by the permanent closure of the corridor and NATO finally putting boots on the ground in Ukraine.
    584
  51. As others have said, Finland needs to defend its borders and simply not let these people in.
    581
  52. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    576
  53. Iran needs to be very severely punished for supplying weapons to Russia!
    571
  54. I've been calling this fellow Herr Macron ever since he decided to go all Dr. Mengele on the French. The fact that he's trying to sue someone for satirizing him just goes to show that he really does have the mentality of a dictator.
    570
  55. They are dancing for the devil now.
    558
  56. Putin not wanting more NATO in his backyard is just like a mugger not wanting to see more police on the streets.
    557
  57. A Labour politician who is a liar, and also none too bright. Who'd have thought?
    555
  58. The relationship between Putin and Orbán is like the collaboration between the Vichy government and Hitler.
    549
  59. Very well explained. Not only will the SAGE scaremongers be bitterly disappointed, but so will the bed wetting snowflakes who have been lapping up the fear.
    541
  60. "We don't want to conflate issues" Sorry, but I think its incredibly wrong to allow someone to stay in Ireland and live off the backs of hardworking Irish people for 23 years. Having ministers like this is just as bad as Ireland being ruled by the British. This woman definitely needs a late night visit by a few Fenians!
    535
  61. Then surrender to Ukrainian forces, be better treated than by your own officers, and live!
    526
  62. Why hasn't the animal that broke a policewoman's nose had his trial and imprisonment fast-tracked? Or, even more to the point, has he even been charged?
    519
  63. Notice how, unlike Putin's propaganda videos, these show very clear pictures. Keep up the great work Ukraine. Putin has promised an extravagant May 9th victory parade. Let's make sure it is heavily rained on, so that he suffers acute, and very public, humiliation.
    507
  64. I feel really sad for the trees that had to die.
    501
  65. They should indeed panic. If I was a Ukrainian soldier I'd be thinking of all the apartment blocks shelled, and all the women and children murdered. War criminals should not be shown one shred of mercy!
    492
  66. How these spin doctors must really hate people like me who can't be frightened, shamed or made to swallow the lies. I'm really proud not to be vaccinated and not to wear a mask.
    492
  67. There's no way you don't notice 46Kgs in your luggage. Most people wouldn't even be able to lift this much weight!
    481
  68. The more we hear, the worse it gets. Our own government has designated Hamas a terrorist organisation, yet just a couple of days ago police arrested a man for holding up a placard saying just that. This two-tier policing is completely unacceptable.
    479
  69. There's now a joke that Russia's best anti-tank weapon is Olaf Scholz.
    472
  70. I wonder how many Russians watching this appreciate that exactly the same would happen to them, their children and their grandchildren.
    472
  71. The public are losing patience waiting for this evil woman, Vennells, and others to receive the jail sentences that they so richly deserve.
    463
  72. I wonder if Georgia realises that now is probably the best opportunity it will ever have to take back the 20% of the country that Putin stole from them, as he can't spare any troops to stop them. Likewise there could be other regions with an axe to grind that should not squander this opportunity that may never come again.
    456
  73. There's a place in heaven for that drone.
    449
  74. Putin isn't just obsessed about Ukraine. It just happened to be the first country on his shopping list, that he thought would be a pushover. Of course, now that it isn't he knows that losing there also means losing power, and possibly his life too. Hence the reason he will never stop of his own free will.
    447
  75. Lager louts deciding not to go to Spain seems like a win for the country and its people.
    444
  76. Far more accurate would be describing the BBC as far-left!
    444
  77. There's a massive difference between being a racist and having grave concerns about the tsunami of illegal immigration, and also highly inappropriate migration of those who will always despise our values and culture.
    442
  78. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    440
  79. Brains and beauty versus a barking dog.
    440
  80. This "lawyer" needs to be deported to keep Begum company!
    439
  81. A history lesson. A few centuries ago Hungary and Poland were among the countries that kept out and protected Europe from the barbarian hordes. It looks like they are having to take the lead in this role once more.
    438
  82. Looks like she would be happier living in Iran or Pakistan.
    431
  83. I'm not a Labour fan, but that was an excellent speech by David Lammy, that Britain can be proud of.
    429
  84. What we can now see is that the person who was stamped on had moments earlier behaved like a rabid animal. The poor police officer acted under severe duress and shouldn't be judged by armchair wokes.
    425
  85. One of the most interesting pieces of news in a long time. Very well done NASA!
    424
  86. This is why it is so important that Russia does not win this conflict.
    422
  87. My father was sent to a forced labour camp when he was caught crossing from German to Russian occupied Poland. He spent 2 years there and saw many people die. My mother said that in the early years of their marriage he used to wake up screaming from nightmares about it.
    417
  88. Whisky sales tonight in Scotland are going to be way up.
    416
  89. It was also "not in the public interest" to reassure people that covid-19 only posed a serious threat to well under 1% of the population, or that natural immunity after having covid-19 was vastly better than the rushed through vaccines.
    414
  90. Hopefully it will also weaken Putin in the eyes of all those regions that desperately want out of his Russian Federation.
    408
  91. May face disciplinary action? This judge should be sacked immediately!
    407
  92. Why are they still being called pro-Palestinian, when they are very clearly pro-Hamas? These marches should have been banned from the start!
    405
  93. Am I the only one horrified at the thought of 100's of men who raped and abused little girls as young as 12 never being brought to justice?
    404
  94. In this instance, only the sickest and most deranged will complain about Russian police brutality.
    398
  95. What these people were doing was committing the offence of criminal damage. Instead of just berating them, people would have been completely within the law dragging them out as part of a citizens arrest.
    389
  96. Sadly, there's nothing even remotely new about stories like this.
    387
  97. Always good to watch. Hoping to see much more of the same.
    385
  98. Proud to have a Polish father. Unlike the UK, Poland has a government that puts its people first!
    382
  99. With a massive majority and over 4½ years to go Labour can do untold damage before that happens.
    379
  100. If the US weapons supply is becoming depleted then imagine what state Russia's military supply must be in.
    377
  101. If this policeman had said to someone "you're openly Muslim" does anyone think that he would still be in his job?
    376
  102. If Sunak wasn't incredibly stupid and cowardly he would have backed Suella all the way. Labour will be dancing for joy at this sacking. Suella articulated exactly what MOST people are thinking.
    375
  103. This is why it's so important that NATO and the West give Ukraine all the support they possibly can. Keeping up this war is really hurting Russia, and it's questionable how much more of this Russians are prepared to take, just to bolster the ego of an insane psychopath.
    371
  104. I hope Omicron wins this race by a massive margin. Being EXTREMELY MILD it offers the very real prospect of SAFELY bringing this pandemic to an end.
    371
  105. I can only think of three things Starmer is good at: 1. Destroying our border security. 2. Locking up people for exercising their right to free speech. 3. Squandering the taxpayers money on things that he has absolutely no mandate to do.
    371
  106. Lot's more NATO weapons on the way! Ukraine is an independent country that is entitled to get weapons from anyone in order to defend itself.
    370
  107. If this is recreational fishing then I'm the Easter Bunny. Remember, we lost the right to forage for mushrooms in many places because incredibly greedy migrants were picking the areas bare.
    366
  108. Many years ago I was on holiday in Poland with my Polish father. The Poles were very approving when I mentioned how hard we had fought, in centuries past, to keep the Muslims out of Europe.
    359
  109. How brave to intimidate a teenage boy. One wonders what kind of threats they made to force the apology.
    358
  110. What I find so incredible is how many people were stupid enough to put this app on their phone in the first place.
    358
  111. I've been looking forward to this happening for months. Not only is the Kerch bridge important militarily but it's a very high profile target deep in occupied territory, that Putin has a particular pride in. This is going to cause him intense, and very public, humiliation. It's just unfortunate that even more damage hasn't been done to it, but I'm sure this will come in time.
    358
  112. Starmer didn't like being constantly reminded of what a real PM is like.
    357
  113. Unlike Russia's Orcs, women and children in Kherson have nothing to fear from the liberating Ukrainian troops. As someone else said, only collaborators need to flee.
    355
  114. If people go to jail because evidence was deliberately hidden then those who hid the evidence should serve an even longer term in jail!
    349
  115. One of the largest demonstrations in years, but to look at the BBC news you would think it never happened. The BBC has become like state television in a former Iron Curtain country. Is it any wonder that the liars and cheats in Downing Street are unwilling to end the license fee and defund it?
    347
  116. Russia is great at producing videos of planes taking off, shooting missiles at nothing, and then landing.
    341
  117. More tunnels built with embezzled money that was meant to help the poorest.
    336
  118. The Russian Laurel and Hardy act.🤣🤣🤣
    333
  119. What a terrible thing to happen to a little girl who, up until then, was probably on the best holiday of her life. Heartbreaking.
    328
  120. One thing is certain. If Taiwan shows the slightest sign that it won't fight very hard to defend itself then Emperor Xi will most certainly invade.
    325
  121. This WASN'T racism. It was about a shop owner protecting himself and his merchandise from a mad criminal! Her skin colour is totally irrelevant.
    325
  122. The only surprising thing is that this doesn't happen a lot more often.
    324
  123. Yet more proof that you don't need much intelligence to be an actor. Most of us in the UK would dearly love to see the UK follow Australia's very successful policy of keeping illegals on an island, with no chance of them ever setting foot on the mainland.
    321
  124. Is anyone intimidated by a prat like Starmer?
    321
  125. This is why, rather than lose interest, the West needs to step up its support for Ukraine. As was shown over 100 years ago, even downtrodden Russian peasants have a limit as to what they will put up with. While we are giving freely to Ukraine, North Korea and Iran are demanding top dollar for what they supply Russia with.
    320
  126. Unlike Russia targeting apartment blocks and playgrounds, the bridge is a legitimate target. It's a means of supplying the Orcs, and also a means of forcibly transporting Ukrainians to Russia.
    319
  127. Truly pathetic! Parkinson's Putin levels Ukrainian cities, but gets affronted when they strike back in self defence. He's like a cowardly school bully, who runs crying to the teacher when a little kid stands up to him.
    314
  128. Send in the bailiffs. There will be no shortage of volunteers to do this particular job for free.
    312
  129. These incredibly brave and heroic men richly deserve their new homes, and so much more.
    310
  130. Think of how things might have gone in 1930's Germany if Hitler had been removed from power. Because there are a lot of parallels with Russia and Putin today.
    307
  131. In Britain the police and the courts care vastly more about the rights and welfare of criminals than they do about decent law-abiding people. It's been like that for decades.
    306
  132. Am I the only one that believes parents have an absolute right to know what their kids are being taught? They also have a right to know who they are being taught by: a right often violated. A few years ago the headmaster of St. Ignatius in Enfield employed an English graduate, who was a Teach First TRAINEE to teach maths. She "taught" my nephew from Y11 onwards and was truly USELESS. The headmaster deliberately passed her off to students and parents as a proper maths teacher, and became incensed when I published the truth. A great many parents would be very shocked if they knew who their children were being "taught" by!
    306
  133. I've willingly taken, and even paid for, a good number of other vaccines. But not taking the rushed through Covid ones has to have been one of the wisest decisions I've made in my over 60 years lifetime.
    305
  134. It's a distressing thought, but when someone "disappears off the face of the earth" it's almost never due to an accident.
    304
  135. I'd rather keep my heating off all winter than see Russia allowed to win in Ukraine!
    299
  136. Very nice, and heartwarming. It's just a bit sad that many Orcs got away.
    296
  137. For big pharma mRNA is a goose laying golden eggs. For the rest of us those eggs may well turn out to be jam-packed with salmonella!
    294
  138. If the Orcs in the east of the country need a pause then its incredibly important that they aren't given one. An enemy that is very tired, or low on ordinance is an enemy that should be mercilessly attacked.
    294
  139. Nice to know that there are some judges willing to take a stand against tyranny. It's also a stand against those who won't accept the now well established science. Natural immunity is vastly better than what you get from a vaccine, and such people definitely should not be getting jabbed. Also young people are at negligible risk, so there is no good reason to vaccinate them either.
    294
  140. Please don't call it execution. This is cowardly and cold-blooded murder of defenseless civilians.
    292
  141. That's how war and sanctions work. You can hide the cost from your citizens for a while, but eventually the truth comes out.
    291
  142. I'm totally in favour of covertly recording conversations that show people to be cheats and liars: particularly when it comes to salesmen or the workplace. Dishonest people richly deserve their comeuppance, and anything that helps them get it is fair game. How can it possibly be unfair to show that a person has been dishonest? A judge who refuses to hear evidence that can throw light on the truth is a bent judge!
    287
  143. The bent lawyers who tried to help them avoid deportation should be deported with them!
    287
  144. When this woke Pope gets upset you know that you are doing something right.
    286
  145. Taking Putin's beloved bridge out now would take his public humiliation to a whole new level.
    285
  146. 1 in 800 had an immediate adverse reaction. It's important to remember that autoimmune disorders can take years, or even decades to develop and manifest.
    284
  147. Blaming Ukraine is like scolding a little child, who has been beaten up, for not immediately handing over his dinner money to the bully.
    282
  148. Well, is most of the dinghy boys weren't from Albania then they wouldn't be being demonised. I'd like to go live in Hawaii, and could properly support myself there. However, Uncle Sam doesn't just let whoever wants to live in the US so I have to respect their laws.
    281
  149. The trouble is that those lined up to take Boris's place are just as bad, and sometimes even worse.
    280
  150. Comments saying what MOST of us would like to do with them are being removed by YouTube!
    279
  151. There is a big difference between being "concerned" and having proof. There isn't a single shred of solid scientific evidence that this "variant of concern" is any worse than the many thousands of variants that have already come and gone.
    279
  152. There is nothing bigoted about not being prepared to date people that one finds physically repulsive.
    279
  153. The first young man's answer says it all: "That's a very dangerous question". I've got a really big mouth, and am happy to express my complete contempt for most British politicians, but if I thought it would result in imprisonment, or worse, I'd be a lot less free with my opinions.
    279
  154. I've just read about a man who seriously abused and beat up 3 Muslim women because they weren't wearing the oppressively garb that he thought they should be wearing. These days if I pulled a hijab off a woman I'd probably go to jail, but this man just got a 6 month suspended jail sentence.
    277
  155. Nicely done. I love the way the Russians lie about it being a hospital complex, because only a large amount of ammo goes up like that. I just hope there were plenty of Orcs guarding it.
    277
  156. Not expecting any stabbings at the Notting Hill carnival is like expecting a snowball to survive in a furnace.
    276
  157. While illegal migrants are being kept toasty warm and well fed, pensioners who worked hard all their life for this country are freezing and going hungry.
    276
  158. Wanting people who arrive illegally in this country deported is not extreme. Wanting immigrants who break our laws deported is not extreme. Wanting our women and children to be able to go out in safety is not extreme.
    274
  159. Great work Ukraine. Keep it up. The whole free world loves what you are doing in Crimea.
    274
  160. This cabbie is wasting his breath, because Sunak is a spineless coward who will never take any meaningful action. Think of the kid at school who regularly has his head pushed down the toilet: that was Sunak.
    273
  161. Another day in London, another murder. When I was growing up this is what we expected to happen in other barbarous countries, but not in the UK.
    272
  162. I see Medvedev has had the obligatory bottle of Vodka before going on air.
    272
  163. Didn't anyone ever tell Gina that it's a frog you have to kiss, not a toad.
    269
  164. Those protesting about her expulsion should also be expelled.
    268
  165. Is just me who thinks that the ONLY thing that matters to Starmer is becoming PM, and that he will say and do anything to achieve this?
    268
  166. If those conscripts want to remain alive and in one piece they will immediately surrender to Ukrainian forces.
    267
  167. The Wagner group has taken a damn good kicking, and now that this guy has run out of convicts, and has to sacrifice his other soldiers, he's preparing his excuse for a retreat.
    267
  168. What NATO and the West need to keep in mind constantly is that there are a lot of regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. Only fear of reprisals from Moscow keeps them in it. But if Moscow can be shown to be too weak to attack them then some could be tempted to secede. Once one or two do this we could well see an avalanche in seceding regions, which would put an end to Putin's evil empire once and for all. This in fact is one of Putin's biggest fears.
    266
  169. All these foreign news agencies might be amazed to know that last night's BBC news, even it's local London news didn't so much as mention this protest. Yet only a few days earlier their main headline news was showing much smaller protests over a new football league. Like the former Iron Curtain countries, a lot of our media now seems to be strictly controlled by the government, which vigorously censors stuff they don't want us to know about.
    264
  170. Does anyone honestly believe that this government, or the last one, gives a damn about the British People?
    262
  171. The simple fact is that the Taliban would not be in power if most Afghan men didn't share their appalling views on women. Most Afghan men abroad have exactly the same views. This has been proved repeatedly in different countries as far afield as New Zealand.
    260
  172. Italy did the right thing, and France did the wrong thing. There's no reason why these NGO ships shouldn't take these people back to where they set sail from!
    260
  173. Finland and Sweden really should announce their intention to join NATO BEFORE 9th May. This would be intensely embarrassing to Putin.
    260
  174. Putin can't even win in Ukraine, so how is he supposed to help Iran?
    259
  175. The trouble is that some NATO members will go to almost any lengths, including denying attacks, to avoid a confrontation with Russia. As my late Polish father would have said, if Putin came along and pissed on them some of these would just say "oh look, it's yellow rain".
    259
  176. Way to go Putin! Neither of these countries had any intention of joining NATO until you went psycho on Ukraine.
    258
  177. Mes sincères condoléances à la famille de la personne courageuse qui a donné sa vie pour retirer un chien enragé du monde.
    258
  178. If Russia was so keen to prove that Sokolov was indeed alive then you would have thought they would have easily filmed a 2 minute interview with him talking about the hit on Sevastopol. Of course it's difficult to do this with someone who IS dead.
    257
  179. He's even more likely to be forced to fold if the Kerch bridge is put out of action permanently. As well as its military significance it's a very strong symbol of prestige for Putin.
    256
  180. The crucial question is how quickly Germany will make good on that commitment. Ukraine needs those weapons yesterday!
    256
  181. Charley needs to give himself a nice Christmas present and disown Harry.
    256
  182. This is precisely why the rebels have acted now. Others opposed to Putin should also have the sense to take advantage of a much weakened Putin while they can.
    256
  183. In this case those responsible will be found, but a woke judge will give them a very lenient sentence "in view of their age and so as not to destroy their future".
    252
  184. Exactly. Poland welcomes GENUINE refugees who share our values: not barbarians who have contempt for them and want to overthrow them.
    252
  185. We are an island nation. If we didn't have a spineless, incompetent prime minister, and equally useless cabinet, this influx would have been stopped ages ago.
    251
  186. The only "no end of damage" done was to the credibility of lying, cheating politicians!
    249
  187. Perhaps the mooner should have told them he was actually praying to Mecca. They would then have apologised for disturbing him.
    248
  188. The sad, and very frightening, truth is that Vance is right!
    248
  189. Don't forget that Scotland's first minister is a dyed-in-the-wool Hamas supporter. That should explain a lot.
    248
  190. So much for innocent Palestinian civilians. It's inconceivable that this vast network was built without the knowledge and support of almost everybody. These people clearly supported Hamas, Hamas committed the most barbaric atrocities, and now they are paying the price of that support.
    248
  191. TTK doesn't want to lose all those votes in places like Rochdale.
    248
  192. These meetings should be videoed and openly available so that the public can judge for themselves who is at fault!
    247
  193. I though real men sat behind 40ft tables and cowered in bunkers in the Kremlin. I love the way they get to see and handle the kit that they will never be issued with if they sign up.
    247
  194. Russian MoD Film Studios are also very good at churning out tons of fake videos, with actors always in spotless uniforms and very clean equipment. But by far my favourite was them shooting some shells from a wood in winter, and showing them land in a field in summer.
    246
  195. Owners ought to be held responsible for the actions of their dogs in BOTH the civil and criminal courts: with heavy penalties imposed in both. Then people would think a lot more seriously about what they kept as pets.
    246
  196. Don't you dare insinuate that these might be due to the vaccines. The government have told us that they are completely safe, and we trust Downing Street implicitly. Sorry got to go. They are coming to put me back in my padded cell.
    246
  197. And getting the pillar and stones chopped off just makes you a eunuch, not a woman.
    245
  198. It's not conscription. It's a special compulsory training exercise.
    244
  199. Given some of Trump's previous comments about women this doesn't come as any great surprise. What is a surprise is that so many women voted for Trump.
    243
  200. The fact that both Sunak and Truss don't want to stand in front of the people they wish to lord it over, and answer their questions, should immediately disqualify both as potential PMs!
    243
  201. The attack on the Ukraine band's home down, purely out of spite, and for no military reason, is something straight out of the Nazi's handbook. Once again this emphasizes how incredibly important it is to deny Russia any kind of victory in Ukraine.
    238
  202. Warms the cockles of most decent people's hearts.
    238
  203. Here's an undisputed fact. For years, prior to 7th October, the UN threw vast sums of money at Gaza. This could have made a big difference to the quality of life the Palestinians living there. Unfortunately, Hamas embezzled practically all of it.
    237
  204. What about the covering up of how good natural immunity after having Covid is, which led to so many people being unnecessarily vaccinated with rushed through, poorly tested vaccines. And the subsequent ongoing cover up about the likely cause of the continuing excess deaths.
    234
  205. We are all cheering with you buddy. I hope you get to take plenty more shots like this.
    232
  206. Of course they want to get rid of Nazi symbols, now that they are overwhelming associated with Australia's politicians.😉
    232
  207. I'll never understand why a country as large and as rich as China can't just leave Taiwan alone. There seems to be no rational explanation for wanting to take over a country which has shown no hostile intent towards China.
    231
  208. I wonder if these soldiers, and their families, really understand that Putin doesn't care in the least how many of them die?
    230
  209. Am I the only one who thinks that just over 7 years for such a repulsive crime, and betrayal of trust, is far too lenient?
    229
  210. What sad excuse for a man wants to see his mother, sister or wife treated like this?
    229
  211. Perhaps these women, and their husbands, should have thought much earlier about the unjustified invasion of Ukraine?
    229
  212. As someone who tutors A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics I am constantly made aware of the damage lockdowns have done to kids. I've seen kids cheated out of the exams they needed to take to go to the university of their choice. Several have definitely been downgraded by incompetent teachers or even out of pure spite. Online "learning" is a pathetic joke, but many kids didn't even get this. They were just told to read their textbooks. I get parents telling me how their kids have become despondent and totally lost the will to study. This makes me incredibly angry, because this virus has always posed a NEGLIGIBLE threat to kids, and a miniscule one to most of those teaching them. Schools and exams should have carried on as normal. Not doing so was an act of unmitigated cowardice and selfishness. The British people should be deeply ashamed of allowing Downing Street to do this to our kids.
    227
  213. The comment at the end about being "politically and diplomatically sensible not to dig too deep" says it all. Too many governments are afraid of upsetting Emperor Xi!
    226
  214. Despite what Putin's fanboys would have you believe, Hertling sounds as if he has got it about right. If we keep up a timely supply of the best weapons to Ukraine, and the training of its soldiers then Russia is looking at one hell of a butt kicking.
    226
  215. This being the case, even cowardly voters, who always vote Labour or Conservative, for fear of the other, should now vote reform UK.
    224
  216. At 2,540 excess deaths in a week we are very much in the same ballpark as deaths ascribed to Covid-19. The crucial difference is that these deaths are very real, whereas putting a death down to Covid because someone tested positive in the prior 28 days was very questionable indeed.
    224
  217. I am so sick of our government and courts worrying about the welfare of Paedophiles, rather than that of their victims, and potential future victims.
    223
  218. This thing reminds me of Tolkien's Worm Tongue. Except Worm Tongue was less repulsive.
    222
  219. We are also seeing attempts to frustrate democracy in France!
    222
  220. Are we seriously worrying about Wagner? They are a relatively small force that it would be extremely easy to completely annihilate once they set foot in a NATO country. I'd be absolutely furious if NATO gave them any quarter.
    222
  221. As soon as the younger men started to flee Russia it was obvious that the numbers would be made up with older men. But I'm laughing my head off about this, because this was the age group that most supported Putin, so it really is poetic justice.
    222
  222. When one sees career criminals, with a list of offences as long as your arm not being jailed and others with no record being jailed for a one of heat of the moment post then most of us regard this as a massive miscarriage of justice. What's even more concerning is that, the courts are meant to administer justice without being pressured by government. But what's happening at the moment is strongly reminiscent of Russian courts.
    221
  223. I won't hold my breath waiting for Wagner to take revenge. I imagine most of them are planning how best to drop off the radar before they have unfortunate "accidents".
    220
  224. Far-left rabble. The numbers might look impressive, but in reality they are not representative of ordinary British people.
    220
  225. Am I the only one who feels that those suffering from cancer, or in agony for want of a new hip, are much more in need, and deserving, of the NHS's limited resources?
    220
  226. Six children, and another on the way. Sorry, but one has to take responsibility and live within ones means. Part of this is NOT breeding like a bloody rabbit when you can't afford to!
    217
  227. Reminds one of scenes you see of someone switching on the light and the cockroaches running for their lives.
    216
  228. Well done Uncle Sam. A lot of this is now needed in Crimea, and in other places deep behind Russian lines.
    214
  229. When are we going to see ALL face coverings made illegal?
    214
  230. Much as I would really like to believe this, I need hard evidence to be persuaded.
    213
  231. Not being a pathological bed-wetter I never took it seriously: no mask, no isolation, no vaccine.
    213
  232. Allowing these pro-Hamas (let's call them what they really are) protests to go ahead on this weekend is like letting these people piss on the graves of our fallen heroes. Any decent, honourable government would ban them: and any decent police force would vigorously enforce that ban.
    212
  233. Again, our useless, biased police doing nothing to stop these tyres being slashed.
    211
  234. YouTube keeps removing comments suggesting that owners should bear full responsibility for the actions of their dogs!
    211
  235. What this video doesn't mention is that the doctors in South Africa, with the most experience of dealing with this variant, have described the symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. Perhaps it should be renamed the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    211
  236. Am I the only one incensed that the police viciously broke up a peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard, which was lawful and wasn't inconveniencing anyone, yet they are doing bugger all to stop these nut jobs?
    211
  237. Am I the only one who really begrudges a single penny of my taxes being given to the UN or the WHO?
    209
  238. Somewhat over 30 years ago I lived in Bray, and worked in the centre of Dublin. I would enjoy watching the scenery from the Dart, on my commute. Often on Sunday I would wait outside the Cinema by the Liffey to go hiking for the day with An Óige. The Ireland I knew then was very safe, welcoming, and most people were happy. I wouldn't recognise today's Ireland, and my late Irish mother, uncle and grandparents would cry if they could see how Irish politicians have sold the Irish people down the river.
    208
  239. Many of us knew that an awful lot of parents who send their kids to private schools are far from rich, and make incredible sacrifices to give them the best possible start in life. We predicted that adding 20% to their bill would push them beyond what they could afford. But Labour didn't want to hear the truth. Now, with state resources already overstretched, kids who never went to private schools are also going to suffer. An own goal by Labour!
    208
  240. What kind of country has, as a deputy PM, someone who left school at 16 without even the most basic of qualifications? If this isn't a case of the lunatics running asylum Britain then I don't know what is.
    208
  241. Perhaps now people will see the absolute necessity of IDF entering Rafah, where both their own people and Hamas are!
    208
  242. Is not expressing support for a terrorist organisation illegal? These people,. rather than heat of the moment tweeters and riot bystanders, are the ones who need to be fast-tracked into jail.
    207
  243. The gross grade inflation is horrifying and disgraceful. It seriously devalues A-levels and people's confidence in them. It also robs those who genuinely deserved an A or an A* of the recognition due their ability and hard work. For those who don't understand this let Gilbert and Sullivan explain it to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4OwwmFj8o
    206
  244. Those who know their Irish history will be reminded of how the British shipped protestants into the north, a couple of hundred years ago, to undermine the strong Irish culture there. Now the same thing is happening in the south, except that it's Ireland's own MPs that are working hard to destroy their own people.
    205
  245. What really disappoints me is that Putin fanboys aren't also dying: one fangirl isn't enough.
    204
  246. Let's think this through. We have criminals who, in order to reduce the punishment for their crimes, were only too happy to commit the even worse crime of fighting and killing people in another country that just wants to be left in peace.
    204
  247. Millions of people who would previously have considered a holiday in Australia now won't touch this fascist dictatorship. And the crap is still going down with WA just introducing new restrictions.
    203
  248. A truly clueless chancellor, who should be in prison for her multiple fraudulent claims.
    203
  249. "Dehumanizing the unvaccinated" Reminds me of another fascist government that dehumanized part of their population and made sure they were easy to identify.😉
    203
  250. I wish a big one would open up under Downing Street, when the cabinet was in session.
    203
  251. Castration without anesthetic is what men like this need!
    203
  252. As the old saying goes: "those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind". I bet a lot of Russian mums and dads are now bitterly regretting supporting Putin. But, all this can end almost instantly if Putin and his so-called "strong men" are "removed" from power.
    201
  253. This prospect is precisely why I keep banging on about destroying the Kerch bridge NOW. There's a good chance that Putin would not survive such further embarrassment at this time.
    201
  254. If I were the parent of one of these kids I would want a very private "talk" with some of those teachers!
    199
  255. I love it when the tanks are moving, because then you know a few Orcs have been roasted.
    199
  256. It's not a question of whether Putin has committed war crimes, but just how many. Even for the variety of war crimes he ticks most of the boxes
    198
  257. This is why, many of us, aren't that concerned about recent Russian gains, and prefer to see Ukrainian soldiers' lives being saved by being pulled back. The Ukrainians will very soon have Western long-range artillery, and we can then expect to see a goodly number of Orcs and their equipment destroyed.
    196
  258. I can think of a guaranteed way to stop Putin aging.
    196
  259. Pity we can't see it burst into flames as it hits the ground. Hopefully many more like this to come.
    194
  260. I don't recall seeing murders reported in London every single day when I was growing up. But I guess this is what happens when you go soft on crime for about 50 years.
    194
  261. You have to have the mentality of a flat earther to believe anything Putin says!
    193
  262. Many countries manage fine without a license fee. The BBC should have to fund itself like every other channel. Of course, supporting terrorists might not be a good way to attract advertising sponsors.
    193
  263. The excuse given by the head of the Met Police is both cowardly and pathetic. There are countless examples of the police arresting people for something that most of us would simply regard as in very bad taste, but in no way criminal. For instance, try singing "who's that dying on the runway" at a Man U match. Like the numerous cases of young girls who have been very seriously abused, there is a total reluctance, on the part of the police, to arrest those of certain ethnicities or religious persuasion.
    193
  264. Igor, how many times have I told you not to smoke and drink vodka at the same time!
    192
  265. People get afraid and VERY ANGRY when they fear for the safety of their daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends!
    192
  266. That was a damn good attack. If only Ukraine could launch a lot more like this VERY REGULARLY, with some of them on Moscow.
    192
  267. I really don't think anyone is in the least surprised by these stories, and these soldiers were unbelievably naive if they didn't think something like this would happen to them. For sometime now the Ukrainians have had a well-manned 24-7 hotline to help Russian soldiers surrender. They should make much better use of it.
    191
  268. It's really good to see Ukraine quickly making good use of those new missiles. Now, what about making Putin cry by properly destroying his beloved Kerch bridge?
    190
  269. As a kid I really hated drag shows, which I regarded as weird and unnatural.
    190
  270. That four hours would be far better spent enjoying a few pints, and non PC jokes, down the bar.
    190
  271. If schools were letting pupils drink and smoke without informing parents then we would be up in arms. This is FAR WORSE!
    188
  272. Those who consider Putin a "conservative" would almost certainly say exactly the same thing about Adolf Hitler!
    186
  273. We have also had enough of seeing people jailed for postings, or standing on the sidelines at riots, while REAL criminals go free.
    185
  274. I wonder how TTK would feel if his 13 year-old daughter was the victim of one of these rape gangs?
    184
  275. We have expressions like "Dutch Auction". Well, now we have "Russian Referendum" which means armed soldiers turn up at your house, force you to vote, and carefully watch which box you are ticking.
    184
  276. Test? More likely Uncle Sam is just giving Vladolf a tiny peek at one of the many toys hidden in its closet.
    183
  277. Judging by the relatively little damage done, one suspects that these drones were very small and launched close to or even within Moscow. There's a good chance that they were launched by Russian and maybe even Putin's own FSB in order to bolster his support.
    183
  278. I can't help feeling sorry for those poor trees.
    183
  279. The trouble is that Putin can conscript a lot more cannon fodder, and really doesn't care how many Russians die. I suspect that a lot in the West are still betting on Putin being "removed", but the reality is that most Russians are still very well insulated from the effects of this war. This is why it's so incredibly important that Ukraine makes VERY REGULAR attacks on Moscow and other places in Russia. The odd drone every few weeks isn't going to change Russian opinion.
    182
  280. The YouTube bots scan for certain words so I have to be careful to not have comments almost instantly deleted. But, consider the following. The excess deaths are almost, if not entirely, in the most developed countries that mainly used a certain technology, on a very large scale, for the first time. This is very suggestive of what the cause of those deaths might be.
    182
  281. Has Putin ever been in control of the war? Perhaps yes, when it comes to murdering defenceless women and children, but not when it comes to achieving anything militarily. Even what limited success there might have been in Bakhmut was down entirely to the Wagner group and not him.
    182
  282. For months, people like me have been saying how important it is to bring this bridge down. Not only is it very important from a military point of view, but it will also cause intense and very public humiliation to Putin.
    181
  283. An apologist for corruption. It's reported that TTK's wife was give £76,000 in clothes. That's more than most sensible people spend on clothes in a lifetime!
    181
  284. So, 160,000 tons of ammo successfully intercepted Ukrainian drones.
    180
  285. Not terror related? From pictures of the attacker one thing is clear. He wasn't a WASP.
    179
  286. The fact that the driver's number plate is obscured says a lot about what's wrong with this country. People like this SHOULD be named and shamed!
    179
  287. This follows on from many years of turning a blind eye to the terrible abuses perpetrated on young vulnerable white girls. We also had to witness the horrific incident of baying mobs intimidating a school and teacher for showing a picture, with the police doing absolutely nothing. What kind of country lets a minority of incomers dictate its policies?
    179
  288. Putin's speech about "Historic Russia" tells you exactly what his intentions are.
    178
  289. It looks like the occupation in Belgium didn't end in 1945!
    177
  290. "They will come back" Never a truer word. This is the ONLY reason Putin doesn't want peacekeepers in Ukraine, because that would prevent him from doing so.
    176
  291. I've hiked in quite a few US national parks, including Yellowstone. If you really are stupid enough to deliberately approach animals like this then you deserve all you get. In general if you leave the wildlife alone then it will leave you alone. I've camped in the wilds of Yosemite and Glacier National Parks and never been bothered by bears, cougars, or any other animal.
    176
  292. Here's a very good rule of thumb for when Russia reports numbers. If they are reporting deaths of their own Orcs then multiply their number by 10. If they are reporting deaths of Ukrainian soldiers then divide the number by 10.
    176
  293. Am I the only one expecting to hear of lots of municipal politicians mysteriously disappearing, falling out of windows, or accidently eating deadly poisonous mushrooms?
    175
  294. I'm sure most Scots will be saying "good riddance to bad rubbish".
    174
  295. Be a real man. Hunker down in a bunker in the Kremlin, sit behind 40ft tables, and only visit troops with no notice, like a thief in the night, or even use a body double.
    174
  296. If I had a daughter I'd rather she turned tricks on the street than turned out like Nadine Dorries.
    173
  297. If the Russians want an operational pause then it's incredibly important that the West and NATO quickly gets the right weapons to Ukraine so that Russia isn't given this pause. The best time to strike your opponent is when he is exhausted and staggering. You certainly don't want to give him time to catch his breath.
    173
  298. The trouble is that Humza is worse than useless: he's dangerous!
    173
  299. What we need are Nuremberg style trials, which recognise the incredible damage that governments have needlessly inflicted upon their populations.
    172
  300. Ukraine needs to be given the means to defend it's civilians against such war crimes. This means giving it missiles with the range to reach the sites from which these attacks are being launched: no matter how far inside Russia they are.
    172
  301. Kids in their first year at primary school could answer this. Well, until the perverts get to them.
    172
  302. The trouble is that even if TTK resigns it will just be a case of replacing one steaming turd with another.
    171
  303. Stepping aside would require Tories to put the interests of their country first. There are very few Tories that don't give a far higher priority to the own self-interest. That's why they are so toxic.
    171
  304. Allowing Russia to take the Crimea was effectively a deal with Russia, and the current consequence of that is the current invasion of Ukraine. And to really rub salt in the wound, Russia having the Crimea has significantly helped its war effort. Any deal with Russia would be effectively signing Ukraine's death warrant!
    171
  305. You can judge some of the contempt for Putin's troops by the fact that they are now often referred to as Orcs. In regard to both their ineptitude and the atrocities they have committed this is a very fitting name for them. And Putin certainly does fit the role of Sauron.
    170
  306. This is why absolutely no aid should be given to Afghanistan, as the Taliban will only appropriate it. Without it, the way things are going, the people will soon become desperate enough to turn on the Taliban
    170
  307. No Muslim is forced to send their kid to this school!
    169
  308. Isn't it funny how this guy had such a change of heart after being imprisoned for a few days. No doubt it's the result of all the loving care shown him by the prison guards.
    169
  309. Several neighbours I've spoken to have said that they will vote Reform UK, as will I. Anyone who votes Conservative or Labour is either very corrupt or not playing with a full pack.
    169
  310. Yes, the distressing bit was the 3 who got away.
    169
  311. "As a warrior" No. As a psychopathic butcher.
    169
  312. Russia, the fireworks capital of the world.
    168
  313. Well, people, those of us who aren't brain dead did warn you that this was coming. In a few months time, when they come after your toddlers and babies, you might like to remember that we warned you about this too.
    166
  314. Why bother with a reconciliation? Would you want a son like Harry, and a daughter-in-law like Megan?
    165
  315. As usual Sunak is being completely disingenuous. It's far more a case that, instead of listening to the REAL, independent, experts, the government insisted on listening to its own lapdogs and cronies. An international team of the very best experts in the world recommended only isolating the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed. They, and most of us who bothered to find out what was really going on, knew that Sars-cov-2 posed no substantial risk to over 99% of the population, who on recovery would have EXCELLENT natural immunity. The government wantonly ignored these experts, and made damn sure that most of the media didn't give them coverage.
    165
  316. Being captured by Ukraine has vastly increased these Russian soldiers chances of surviving this war and not receiving a life-changing injury. They are the lucky ones.
    165
  317. Lebanon's PM might like to ask himself how things would be going if the country hadn't provided safe haven to Hezbollah. When Lebanon was a Christian country not only was it safe, it was a highly desirable playground for the world's super rich!
    165
  318. I could cry for what corrupt politicians have allowed to happen to Ireland, and my Irish mother and relatives must be turning in their graves with profound sorrow. I lived in Bray and worked in central Dublin for a short while, about 35 years ago, and spent many wonderful weekends hiking with An Óige and the Irish Mountaineering Club. What a welcoming and safe country Ireland was then, with most people fairly happy. The Irish have always given strangers a warm and generous welcome, but far too many of the wrong kind of people have been let into Ireland (and many other European countries), and they are destroying it.
    165
  319. I think the French need to remember how they dealt with Louis XVI who, like Herr Macron, also thought he could rule by divine right.
    165
  320. Actually, this tactic worked very well in the San Francisco gold rush days. Those responsible for enforcing the law, and keeping people safe were completely useless. So people took matters into their own hands. There's a very famous picture showing all the villains they dealt with hanging. And you know what? This WORKED really well in restoring law and order, and safety for ordinary decent people.
    164
  321. Burns is spot on. As for Vindman mentioning Crimea, that Kerch Bridge is a major supply route, and umbilical chord to Russia, so it needs to be completely destroyed ASAP, and we must give Ukraine whatever it needs to get this job done quickly.
    164
  322. What does that very famous book say? "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"
    164
  323. After fighting with British forces against the Nazis my Polish father decided to stay in Britain, rather than be ruled by Uncle Josef. He, and thousands like him, didn't get handouts like this.
    163
  324. He doesn't want to let people get close to him, because whoever has the guts to take him out would likely become an instant national hero, and advance very significantly politically. Of course, it could also be partly due to his alleged incontinence. A week or so ago it was reported that he fell down the stairs at his Moscow residence and soiled himself.
    163
  325. Immigration officers need to carefully investigate the "Big Issue", which bends over backwards to help undesirables stay in this country.
    163
  326. This is precisely why any peace deal should at the very least mean complete withdrawal from Ukraine, including Crimea.
    161
  327. This is the only way to negotiate with Putin!
    161
  328. We badly need the police to be able to undertake totally random searches. They should even be able to unexpectedly turn up at a school and search every single student and their lockers. Then anyone found with a knife or gun should receive a mandatory custodial sentence.
    160
  329. During WW II my Polish father spent 2 years in a Russian labour camp, where he saw a lot of his fellow prisoners die. According to my mother, who married him more than 10 years later, he used to still wake up screaming from nightmares about the place. The Russians haven't changed one iota since then!
    160
  330. So let me get this right. This walrus hadn't hurt anyone, but was needlessly murdered just to insure that nothing happened to some cretin that didn't take advice not to get too close.
    160
  331. Even without any titles you can always tell whether the videos come from Ukrainians or Russians. The Ukraine videos invariably show the targets that are being hit very clearly. In almost every Russian video it's next to impossible to discern a target.
    160
  332. Whenever Putin makes a claim it's usually wise to assume that the exact opposite is true.
    159
  333. Hypocrisy it may be. But one can be sure that most of these self-serving individuals look out for number one. They know that all this social distancing is complete bollocks, only adhered to by the most feeble minded.
    159
  334. If only the West and Ukraine can keep up their resolve and the pressure suffered by Russia in the last year then there's a good chance that Putin won't make it to the end of this one.
    156
  335. Never a truer word! Anyone who tells you that you can negotiate with Putin is either a liar or a fool.
    155
  336. "Until winter" may well turn out to be a major problem. Because when the previous Ukrainian offensive, which was going so well, paused last winter it was a massive Christmas present for the Orcs. It allowed them to regroup, reinforce and massively strengthen their defences.
    155
  337. Wanting to defend your country against an influx of people who have contempt for your laws, values, and customs does not make you far right.
    155
  338. The Tories had proved that they couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery, but just how thick did you have to be to believe that Labour would be any better? People had two other viable and very different parties that they could have voted for: Reform UK and the LibDems. Yet like turkeys voting for Christmas most still voted Conservative or Labour. It's said that people get the governments they deserve. I'm just sorry for the millions who voted sensibly and don't deserve this.
    155
  339. Russia can be exhausted, but Western governments and their electorates are very fickle, and Putin knows this.
    154
  340. So much for the Nazis leaving France after WW II. Looks like Dr. Mengele sowed a few wild oats there that have come to fruition in Macron.
    154
  341. Every honest person knows what went wrong. Like the UK and Europe, the majority of Americans are very worried about the tsunami of illegal immigration they are suffering. At best the Democrats were seen as complacent, but many saw them as complicit!. Trump is seen as being prepared to do whatever it takes to end, or even reverse this influx.
    154
  342. The truth is that for decades BOTH Labour and the Tories have allowed a certain group of men to carry out some of the vilest crimes, against little girls as young as 12, with total impunity. These young girls deserve to see justice done: and also against those who turned a blind eye to their suffering.
    153
  343. With vaccine passports in England now being ditched, its looking less likely that Scots will be voting for Nicola the knicker wetter: the Tenor Lady dictator.
    153
  344. Most people will be furious that these whingers weren't placed even further back.
    153
  345. In mother Russia you're never too old to die for a deranged dictator, or become one.
    152
  346. At least the Spanish policeman won't now be dragged through the courts for doing his duty and protecting people, and his colleagues, from a violent criminal.
    152
  347. What a beautiful sight to behold.
    152
  348. Is it any wonder that the police don't want to tackle those who march in support of terrorists or shoplift? They are rightly afraid that they, rather than the criminals will end up in the dock.
    151
  349. Perhaps well and truly destroying Putin's beloved Kerch bridge with those new missiles, and devastating his military infrastructure in Crimea, would provide a good shock.
    151
  350. So folks keep a golliwog as part of an emergency kit in case you are burgled or attacked in your own home. Make a 999 call and not a single copper will turn up, but put your golliwog on display in your window and two car loads will be round instantly.
    151
  351. The only distressing bit of this video is that they didn't get all the Orcs.
    150
  352. I'm guessing that the risks in destroying a recruitment centre like this are much smaller than the risks you run if you are recruited and sent to the front line. Seems a very logical course of action.
    150
  353. As someone whose Irish mother came from Phibsboro, and who has lived in Dublin myself, I could cry when I see what rampant immigration, of the wrong sort of people has done to Ireland.
    149
  354. Absolutely right. By definition a war of attrition is a numbers game. So as far as possible it's essential that the Ukraine military keeps up its momentum or even increases it. And, if at all possible, it needs to destroy the Russian supply routes from Belgorod and across the Kerch Bridge in Crimea. Removing these two supply routes will really hurt the Orcs.
    149
  355. But even England's intensely stupid government is beginning to understand that lockdowns and restrictions only make things far worse, not better!
    148
  356. Like others, I notice that the UN never condemns strikes on Israeli civilians!
    147
  357. I'm old enough to remember when daily occurrences like this only happened in other uncivilized countries. The results of being soft on crime for decades, and uncontrolled migration?
    147
  358. This possibility also makes it a very good time for those regions that want out of the Russian federation (or should that be empire) to make a bid for freedom. With so many Russian troops killed, and Russia so bogged down in the Ukraine there has never been a better time to make a bid for freedom. Such a good opportunity may not come again. Once one region declares independence others will follow in very short order. Oppressed Belarussians might also note that Putin is no longer in a position to send help to prop up their Fat Dictator.
    147
  359. A cowardly premier, who has never done an honest days work in his life, is taking the bread out of the mouths of hardworking men and women and their families! And his Gestapo police force are tear gassing and pepper spraying decent people who just want to be able to put bread on the table for their children. Dan Andrews, someday you will be walking alone down that quiet street, and it will be payback time. You can't hide forever.
    146
  360. One of the biggest failings of US democracy is the horse trading when it comes to passing laws: you support my bill, and I'll support your one. It doesn't take much intelligence to understand that each law should be considered purely on it's own merits. It's OK to disagree on the merits of a law. It's not at all OK to effectively be bribed to support it, or withhold ones support as a form of blackmail. One of the reasons we may not see the war in Ukraine resolved for a year is that Putin thinks that if he can hold out until the next US president is elected then a Republican would pull support for Ukraine. How ignominious that a party that prides itself of supporting freedom should have a genocidal dictator pinning his hopes on them!
    146
  361. Yep, the short circuit occurred when the interrogator accidently touched the electrodes together, instead of the victim's nether regions.
    146
  362. Never has there been a better time for Ukraine to really put the pressure on Putin, and for the West to demonstrate staunch support.
    145
  363. Does any sane person seriously consider that being prepared to talk to the leader of the country you are at war with is a "key concession'?
    145
  364. This leaves the Kerch bridge vulnerable, and Ukraine must take full advantage of the small window of opportunity to put it permanently out of commission.
    145
  365. What's infamous is that the BBC is still funded by a license fee, and not made to pay its way like every other channel!
    145
  366. It's not what Putin feels, because victory in Ukraine has been existential for him for quite some time. What matters is how those keeping him in power feel. They need to feel that it's not worth it.
    145
  367. Use those long-range weapons well, and make every missile count!
    145
  368. She is right. It's hard to have sympathy for those who are fleeing to save their own sorry arses, but didn't give a damn about what was happening to the people in Ukraine.
    144
  369. Hopefully this will embolden regions that badly want out of Putin's Russian Federation.
    144
  370. Like most bullies Putin didn't expect his victim to strike back. Equally, like most bullies, Putin is aghast and outraged at receiving some of his own medicine.
    144
  371. All over the world it always seems to be the case that more left-wing parties are much softer on crime. The biggest irony in this is that crime hurts the poorest most.
    143
  372. Makes one wonder how many wounded Russian soldiers have been shot by their commanders.
    142
  373. The burqa is banned in some of the most civilized countries in the world. It's way past time that we did the same! Likewise, to gain residence in a country you should be able to demonstrate a certain minimum level of speaking that country's language.
    142
  374. For all we know, the weapons fired in this (typical) Russian video probably just took out the gnomes in a pre-school's garden.
    141
  375. So happy to see this. I was really worried that Ukraine had let up on Moscow. It's important that Muscovites live in constant fear of every night.
    140
  376. Hopefully this is true, but we have been hearing this for months, and it's not completely beyond the realm of possibilities that Putin could be replaced by someone even madder and badder.
    140
  377. Call me naive, but maybe this has something to do with the fact that many previous very peaceful demonstrations saw the police attacking protestors with water cannons and tear gas. "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"
    140
  378. Well, what do you expect from someone who at 44 still likes to spend all night in a nightclub? Most of us grow out of this at least a decade earlier. Such juvenile behaviour in a deputy PM really doesn't inspire any confidence.
    139
  379. I wonder if I'm the only one starting to think that stocking up on weapons for my own protection might be a really good idea.
    139
  380. That money should have instead been spent on taking out contracts on some of these Islamists. Hell, a lot of us would happily chip in!
    139
  381. Iran threatening the US is like a Chihuahua yelping at a Rottweiler.
    139
  382. Jacinda Ardern is a very strong contender for the thickest PM any Western democracy has ever elected. Those Kiwis sensible enough not to vote for her must be mightily relieved that such an embarrassment to New Zealand will soon be removed.
    138
  383. This shows that Israel still has a lot of work to do, and why any ceasefire would be insane. Remember, Hamas have vowed to repeat the atrocities of 7th Oct again and again!
    138
  384. If Ukraine really has cut off most of Russia's supply lines to Kherson then they do stand a good chance of taking it back, as long as Russia isn't given the opportunity to reestablish them. So timing may be a bit delicate. Too quick and you unnecessarily lose good men, too slow and you let the more Orcs in.
    138
  385. Perhaps now people understand why they are called Orcs.
    138
  386. As I've often said before, no politician should be allowed to be put on the honours list. Far too often this is used to reward cronyism.
    138
  387. Can we please stop saying death instead of MURDER.
    138
  388. The great Russian military machine, now reduced to having to rely on North Korean munitions and soldiers.
    138
  389. One can so easily picture it. Harry running to someone with tears streaming down his face: "William hit me".
    138
  390. Even Basil Fawlty could do a vastly better job than Sunak!
    137
  391. Hopefully Finland being admitted to NATO will be a lot faster than Germany delivering the weapons it promised to Ukraine.
    137
  392. That's because the law doesn't apply to you if you belong to certain ethnicities, and follow a certain religion.
    137
  393. I'm tempted to say that Trump has the morals of an ally cat, But that would be grossly unfair to the felines.
    137
  394. It's NOT anti-immigration. Sweden would welcome someone like me with open arms. But then I wouldn't be trying to impose a set of regressive and repressive values on Swedes!
    137
  395. Well done! Imagine how many more could be taken out with state of the art SAMs.
    136
  396. I'd send the bloody judge with him! What about the human rights of the rape victim? Does Scotland not have a higher court or ministerial process to overturn this obscene decision?
    136
  397. The Australian government's action has been motivated by pure spite and vindictiveness. The country is being run by a bunch of thoroughly nasty and vicious little boys, with no respect for the judgements passed by their own judges. It's very disappointing that none of the tennis players have had the decency to show some solidarity with Novak and withdraw from the Australian Open.
    135
  398. “got to take back control of his state” It's not his state. It's the state of the people who he is there to serve. The people whose lives he has made a misery, and many of whose lives he has destroyed. As the old saying goes: death is too good for this Nazi despot.
    135
  399. Lebanon was once the jewel in the crown of the Middle East, with rich tourists flocking to its luxury hotels and gorgeous beaches. Then the terrorists moved in. Likewise, if the 100's of millions given to Gaza had been spent on the people, instead of arms and tunnels, they would have one of the most enviable lifestyles in the world. Is there a lesson here for Starmer and Labour?
    135
  400. If Lia is a woman than I'm a Jedi knight.
    135
  401. With Israeli hostages being held in Rafah, only a dyed-in-the-wool Hamas supporter would say that the IDF shouldn't go in and rescue them!
    135
  402. Oh look, another angelic Welsh choirboy.
    135
  403. Did anyone really expect Putin to think well on his feet? People seem to forget that we are talking about a former third rate KGB desk jockey: certainly not a very bright man.
    134
  404. Thankfully it was the stupid owner, and not some innocent person.
    134
  405. There are cold, hungry pensioners who worked hard all their lives, and now envy what is being lavished on illegal migrants. A few weeks ago it was reported that on average £40,000 is spent on each one: more than three times the state pension.
    134
  406. I doubt if most people even understand the concept of positive feed back. As the ice disappears less radiation is reflected back into space and the heating gets ever faster. As well as the Antarctic the glaciers in the Himalayas are rapidly disappearing. Do people even stop to think of what this will do to the Indian subcontinent? And where do they think the billion or so people will go, because they certainly won't just sit around and wait to die.
    133
  407. I'll bet it was their Russian buddies who destroyed this village.
    133
  408. The most worrying thing is that there have been several other reports very like this one!
    132
  409. The NHS also needs to get rid of about 2/3 of its managers and admin staff, which are like a virulent cancer, sucking the lifeblood out of our health service!
    132
  410. Also police not breaking up that baying mob outside a Bradford school gave the green light to fundamentalists in this country.
    132
  411. While not a Trump fanboy, I'm really enjoying watching the lefties losing it.
    131
  412. The animal that did this should ALREADY be serving a long jail term!
    131
  413. What I love is that Coutts first gave a false reason for closing Nigel's account. Then they said it was because he didn't share their values. What values might those be? A willingness to lie if it is the easiest option. You can't trust liars, and you should be able to trust your bank!
    131
  414. It's very hard to consider those who rape, torture and murder defenceless civilians as human.
    131
  415. Taiwan might be a no-no, but Xi can help himself to as much of Russia as he likes, with the West's blessing.
    131
  416. I wonder how many tears he shed for all those murdered on 7th Oct?
    130
  417. Wherever you find civilians, particularly the most vulnerable ones. you will find cowardly Hamas hiding behind them.
    130
  418. The Tories will be very sad to see Diane Abbot go, because she scares off many people who would otherwise vote Labour.
    130
  419. In WW II, at Katyn, Russia butchered 22,000 defenceless Polish officers who were POWs. This was just one of many such atrocities. Russia hasn't changed one iota since then, so hearing this is not even slightly surprising. It also emphasizes why letting Russia win is not an option.
    130
  420. After the war many Poles, my father included, came to this country and the US. Both countries also have had a fair influx of Chinese and Vietnamese migrants. All these, and other nationalities, have been an asset to their adoptive countries. However migrants from certain countries, and with certain beliefs, are nothing but bad news. Sweden, the UK, and Ireland bear irrefutable testimony to this. Telling the truth doesn't make you racist.
    130
  421. Since a "no" would considerably defuse the situation we can take Sunak's refusal to answer as a most definite "yes".
    129
  422. There are quite a few regions that very much want out of the Russian Federation. They should act together now to take full advantage of Moscow's current weakness, as such an opportunity might not present itself again.
    129
  423. And let us not forget that there is always a magic money tree for white-wash public enquiries that exonerate the government and fatten the purses of their lawyer friends.
    129
  424. The only interests most British politicians care about defending are their own!
    129
  425. Let me see. They have 3 choices: 1. Die fighting in Ukraine for Putin. 2. Die fighting Wagner for Putin. 3. Join with Wagner and live. Seems a bit of a no-brainer.
    129
  426. Ce n’est qu’un exemple parmi tant d’autres qui montre pourquoi les Ukrainiens courageux méritent notre aide. J’ai initialement posté cet article en anglais, mais YouTube l’a supprimé.
    129
  427. Will somebody please explain why the police acted like Nazi stormtroopers at the peaceful Sarah Everard vigil that wasn't inconveniencing anyone, yet they refuse to arrest those illegally obstructing our highways?
    127
  428.  @harrisonlloyd9668  With NATURAL immunity that may well last me a lifetime, and is vastly better than vaccination, why would I risk taking a poorly tested vaccine that will do me no good whatsoever?
    127
  429. Looking at these pictures, which are repeated in 1000s of places in Ukraine, people should be able to understand why Russian soldiers are referred to as Orcs. This is why no deal must ever be made with Putin, and the Crimea must also be taken back.
    127
  430. We all know that fishing is a dangerous occupation. So it wouldn't be out of order if some of these "fishing trawlers" had serious "accidents": and went down with all hands.
    127
  431. It's really sad that the Orcs flying the jet managed to eject. They need to be captured and put on minefield clearance.
    126
  432. Why did this take 15 years, and how many more such cases are there that have never reached the courts?
    126
  433. Maybe this explains the insane zero covid policy.
    125
  434. I wonder if those who want to be exchanged realise that it's not at all uncommon for Russia to execute POWs that it gets back. I would imagine this is even more likely with criminals. At the very best they can expect to be sent back to the front line to complete their 6 months.
    124
  435. No one should be surprised at the mass killings. We are dealing with the same Russia that butchered 22,000 Polish officers at Katyn. And that's just the biggest case that was uncovered.
    124
  436. Having a democracy means accepting that people have an inviolable right to say things you don't want to hear.
    124
  437. Please, not another parent claiming that their innocent child was duped into being a drug mule.
    123
  438. Well, credit where credit is due. Well done Turkey! Now if only the Chinese would get on board.
    123
  439. I wonder if these "defenders" would put the same effort into protecting a synagogue?
    123
  440. Being able to lock a blade makes it a lot safer to use. So once again we have an example of how incredibly stupid the law can be.
    123
  441. With more than it can handle in Ukraine, Russia now has a very limited ability to attack anyone else. Georgians should get wise to this fact, remove Moscow's puppet government, and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen. Belarusians should also realise that Putin can no longer protect Lukashenko. Also, there are several regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. Now is the time to make a bid for freedom.
    123
  442. With the Tories now third place in the polls it's a vote for the Conservative party that's now the wasted vote helping Labour into power.
    123
  443. Apparently the rabid animal who broke a female police officer's nose isn't even being charged!
    121
  444. This sends a clear message to criminals. Unless you make a racist tweet you will not end up in jail.
    121
  445. For once I totally applaud what Macron has done. Second home ownership pushes up the cost of property for many who are desperate to own even one home. We should do the same!
    121
  446. Every decent person in this country will be aghast and outraged that a sex offender was granted asylum. Whoever made this decision needs, at the very least, to be immediately sacked.
    119
  447. Police warning against speculation. What the hell do they call hypothesizing that Nicola feel in the river?
    119
  448. "This is our gift to the Russians, we can't wait to welcome them with these" Great comment. Hopefully they are getting lots of state of the art SAMs, so that they can also give Russian aircraft a warm welcome too.
    119
  449. As others have said, this is reminiscent of the feral youth in so many UK towns and cities.
    119
  450. It's worrying that we are handing out driving licenses to people as mentally disturbed as this woman. Look where she's pouring the water, instead of just pouring it onto the forecourt.
    119
  451. People should never forget that the Soviet Union quit Afghanistan in the face of much smaller losses.
    119
  452. This becomes easier to understand as soon as one understands what kind of people run charities these days. Years ago most of the work was pro bono. These days the CEOs of most charities are paid the kind of salaries that most of us can only dream of. Salaries that no commercial organisation would be stupid enough to squander on such totally useless, and self-serving, people.
    119
  453. How outrageous. Ukraine attacking enemy forces that are occupying it's territory.
    119
  454. Did he by any chance shout "Allahu Akbar" during the attack?
    119
  455. More damage in seven weeks, because let's not forget that lockdowns couldn't have happened without staunch Labour support, so they were a joint endeavor.
    119
  456. I trust that trying to cover up this war crime, as the Russian delegation is doing means that those on the delegation are also guilty of war crimes.
    119
  457. Keep up the just and good fight Ukraine. Every decent person in the world supports your struggle.
    118
  458. If Ukraine can hit deep inside Russia then it really is time to start taking out Moscow's power supply, water and metro services. It's way past time that Russian people started to experience what Ukrainians have been put through!
    118
  459. Not just arrested, deported!
    118
  460. Remember your get out of jail phrase for when the police find out you are a kiddy fiddler: "Allah hu Akbar".
    118
  461. Payback!
    118
  462. They should have been deported ages ago. Anything other than a small misdemeanor should carry a mandatory deportation sentence. And, supporting terrorist organisations, or anti-Semitic behaviour, ARE criminal offences that are not misdemeanors.
    117
  463. What kind of rabid animal takes a 9 year-old girl as hostage.
    117
  464. Let's be very clear about this. On many occasions when the Dutch protested peacefully they were brutalised by the police with tear gas and water cannons. "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"
    117
  465. I'll be voting Reform UK, and I wouldn't hold it against others who maybe opt for the LibDems. Unfortunately most voters are inordinately stupid and cowardly, and will continue voting either Labour or Conservative until hell freezes over.
    116
  466. So Starmer is going to protect Mosques and Muslim schools. Am I the only one outraged that good, decent Jewish people, who contribute so much to this country, aren't going to get the same protection for their synagogues and schools?
    116
  467. They have also found several parasites in the boardroom.
    116
  468. Seriously? Does anyone really believe that Hancock has anything to say that's worth listening to?
    116
  469. If this soldier had had the sense to surrender to the Ukrainians then he would have survived and seen his wife and kid again. Ukraine runs a 24/7 surrender hotline for Russians who don't want to be Orcs.
    115
  470. Bang on the money! In fact many sensible people think this EXREMELY MILD variant might be a heaven sent SAFE way for people to acquire PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY.
    115
  471. The sentence handed out clearly shows why things in this country have got so bad. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. This woman broke an emergency worker's eye socket and knocked him unconscious. She should definitely have received a custodial sentence. I bet if it had been a judge or magistrate she attacked then she would have. The sentence needs to be appealed and the judge who gave the original one disciplined.
    115
  472. Looks like a hate crime to me. Oh wait, I'm being very silly. If you are Muslim than whatever you say or do is OK.
    115
  473. Supporting Russia's war economy doesn't come cheap, and is unsustainable in the long term. However, when it all comes tumbling down, and Putin is no longer able to hide it from ordinary Russians is much harder to predict in the kind of timescales that matter. Let's not forget that Putin is gambling big on Trump pulling support for Ukraine.
    114
  474. Imagine the reaction if there had been talk of "useless black female pilots". Racism and sexism cuts both ways.
    114
  475. Most of those voters who gave Labour their massive majority, instead of voting Reform UK, also didn't know what they were doing. They do now, and have another 4½ to rue their very unwise choice.
    114
  476. XX = woman XY = man
    114
  477. Hitler dealt with rivals in exactly the same way.
    114
  478. With some of that mRNA making it into the brain, and provoking an immune response, a rise in dementia is exactly what one would expect. The worst part of this is that people like me predicted this happening as soon as mRNA vaccines were rolled out. And making specific prior predictions is the gold standard in science. Incidentally, another such prediction was an increase in diabetes, but with this already having been increasing for many years now, it's harder to tease out whether there is any correlation.
    113
  479. The only distressing bit is the suffering caused to the trees.
    113
  480. So, let me get this right. Russia can level Ukrainian cites, but its not OK for Ukrainian to launch a single missile against a military target in one of its cities. Putin is like the school bully who kicks the shit out of the little kids and steals their dinner money. But as soon as one of them lands a single punch the bully runs crying to the teacher.
    112
  481. Having a seriously thick PM is bad enough, but having a seriously thick PM that won't be told that they are wrong is even worse!
    112
  482. Sh*t thrown on top of sh*t.
    111
  483. For someone who has to wear diapers, because of his incontinence, Putin is in no position to make fun of anyone.
    111
  484. I bet those rockets get there well before the weapons Germany promised ages ago. In fact most of us now believe that Germany will never deliver.
    111
  485. With shows like this does anyone really believe that Hamas will ever decide to peacefully coexist with Israel?
    110
  486. So much for democracy in this country. There should be a referendum on whether the BBC should fend for itself like all the other channels. We all know what the result would be, but the government doesn't want to lose a major broadcaster that it can tightly control when push comes to shove.
    110
  487. They can join their mates in jail.
    110
  488. Whatever you think of Tommy Robinson, what he is saying here is absolutely true! And don't expect these violent offenders to get anything near 31 months in prison.
    110
  489. In my experience, the thickest people you will ever meet are champagne socialists.
    110
  490. The BBC knows that with Reform UK there's a reasonable chance of ending the license fee and making them fend for themselves like every other broadcaster.
    109
  491. Not too long ago my sister went for a MRI scan, and an endoscopic procedure that involved having one shoved down her throat. Each of these procedures cost around £1000: vastly more than the cost of administering them. But the very worst part is that most of the money does not go to consultants, doctors or nurses. Luigi was bang on the money in his use of the word PARASITES! Too many people who contribute nothing but expense and misery are milking medical services.
    109
  492. Take the oil to pay for the cost of the rescue!
    109
  493. "Caused by a short circuit" Always possible, but highly unlikely.
    109
  494. Please, don't say executed. These poor people where kidnapped, treated appallingly, and then murdered!
    109
  495. Duncan is proof that you really don't have to be too bright to be an entrepreneur. An absolutely massive Israeli study, which is pertinent to the Delta variant too, has found that natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. It also found that there is no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating those who have natural immunity. Because of its shear size, the confidence in these results is around 99.9%: most statisticians are usually very happy with 95%. In view of this, perhaps Dr. Bannatyne would like to tell people like me why I should risk a vaccine that we don't know the long term effects of and that will give me no benefit whatsoever. Perhaps he would also like to tell young people, for whom covid-19 is usually less bother than a bad cold, why they should take the risk.
    109
  496. What a joke of a statement: "Russia will react extremely harshly". What have they been doing so far, dropping roses on Mariupol and Bakhmut.
    109
  497. In many countries deportation is standard procedure for those who commit an imprisonable offence. We wouldn't have an overcrowding problem if this was done.
    109
  498. Isn't it way passed time that this practice of rewarding ones cronies was ended? Very, very few politicians or civil servants should be receiving honours. There are people in this country who are vastly more worthy. Most of us don't expect a knighthood for doing the job we are paid to do.
    108
  499. Yes, this is indeed as neo-colonial as it gets, and nobody should forget that Emperor Xi is watching the West's response very closely. Similarly to Putin, he maintains that Taiwan is not an independent country, and if the West shows the slightest weakness or disunity in dealing with Ukraine then Xi will have the green light to invade Taiwan.
    108
  500. Ivan, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't smoke in the ammo room!
    108
  501. Very good news, because ordinary Russians need to be made to understand that waging unprovoked wars on neighbour countries carries a heavy price.
    108
  502. Mass graves of butchered defenseless people is very much Russia's calling card, and has been it's modus operandi for a very long time. During WW II the Russians butchered 22,000 Polish officers in Kaytn. This is why, no matter what the cost, we have a moral obligation to help protect civilized countries like Ukraine.
    108
  503. If possible the fleet needs to be destroyed at Novorossiysk, so that it can't come back or cause further trouble!
    107
  504. Does it matter, since Boris is renowned for breaking his promises and not keeping his word? After all, being willing to break the legally binding Protocol he agreed with the EU is a prefect example of this.
    107
  505. As someone who tutors A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics I can confirm that most students really aren't prepared to put in the hard yards. But any teacher who now calls a kid lazy is almost certain to lose his/her job.
    107
  506. I've watched 4 good strikes today: a jet, a tank, a radar tower and now this. What a joy to behold. It looks like things are really hotting up for the Orcs. Lot's more please.
    107
  507. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump was now sharing intelligence with his best buddy Putin.
    107
  508. Meanwhile, illegal migrants are being kept well fed and toasty warm in plush hotels. A recent estimate was that about £40,000 a year is spent on each illegal. That's more than 3 times the pension for people who have worked hard and paid taxes all their lives.
    107
  509. I see that there are a few Putin rent boys crying over this.
    107
  510. Perhaps Harry could also change his first name to Frank, as some fathers certainly do "ave em".
    107
  511. We are seeing the results of appeasing Putin years ago when he was allowed to take Crimea. Not only must all recently invaded Ukraine be taken back, but Crimea must also. AND we then need to get Ukraine, and also Moldova if they want, in to NATO as quickly as possible.
    106
  512. As Javid knows very well it's not a question of whether children or their parents decide. If it's not up to parents then it's absolutely guaranteed that school teachers and school nurses will COERCE children into getting vaccines that they neither need nor want. And after they have finished with your 12 to 15 year-olds they WILL go after your younger kids! Is anyone really stupid enough to trust Javid? Surely I'm not the only one who remembers him very clearly stating that there would be no vaccine passports because this was not how we do things in Britain.
    106
  513. The question that keeps coming back to me is why was he running from the police in the first place? If someone lawfully going about their business is killed that is very wrong. If someone dies in the act of committing a crime, or trying to escape the consequences, then I can live with that. I'm truly sick of hearing criminals' families say what a lovely chap he was.
    106
  514. I feel so sorry for any trees that were killed or damaged.
    105
  515. But even then there would have been collaborators, who would have sold out their own mothers: and Viktor Orban would have been one of them.
    105
  516. If Putin's grip on power is now very tenuous then the importance of taking out the Kerch bridge cannot be overstated. The subsequent very public extreme humiliation would likely finish him off. In fact a black ops operation to get this done might well be the best move NATO has made in a long time.
    105
  517. This is what Stramer has in mind. For every illegal migrant the EU takes back we will be forced to take two, legally, from the EU, which we have to keep. Imagine just how much money Starmer's immigration and human rights lawyer buddies will make from this.
    105
  518. A cowardly act by a cowardly PM!
    105
  519. Even many species of animals prioritise protecting their young over the lives of adults. But our sick, selfish society sacrificed our children for the sake of those in their 80's, or older, who had already lived a long and good life: and most of whom were at low risk. Schools should never have closed, and the bad effects of shutting them are continuing to this day.
    105
  520. As those of us who have visited Sweden know, to our great sadness, this has probably come too late. I visited Sweden slightly over 40 years ago. Before this plague of migrants descended on the country it was an incredibly safe and happy place.
    105
  521. How often does it need repeating that until there is a very robust response these atrocities are going to continue, and get worse.
    104
  522. By the time of the next election there won't be a country left that's worth saving!
    104
  523. There are quite a few regions that really want out of the Russia federation (or should that be empire). With a third of its combat forces wiped out, and the rest bogged down in Ukraine, now would be an excellent time for such regions to make a bid for independence. Once one region does so others will follow in short order. An opportunity like this may never come again!
    104
  524. I'm no general, but I think if Ukraine can really pile the pressure on during this winter then it could make a big difference. To that end we want to make sure that Ukraine receives the weapons and equipment it needs with the utmost timeliness.
    104
  525. What about recognising Taiwanese independence first: there are over 23 million people there. Is their sovereignty and independence not important, or is it that Labour isn't too concerned about the Chinese vote? Gaza effectively had autonomy, and this is precisely what allowed Hamas to flourish, as it embezzled the millions given by the UN that could have massively improved the lives of ordinary Gazans. For Hamas, an independent Palestine state would be like Gaza on steroids, with unimaginable consequences for the Jewish people.
    104
  526. The truth is that we haven't had a decent PM since Margaret Thatcher!
    103
  527. Having someone who is like a petulant little boy as one of your closest advisors isn't too smart.
    103
  528. Wonderful! With two Orcs on top, and at least one more inside, that's at least 3 rabid animals per tank put down.
    103
  529. In case the penny still hasn't dropped, people are going to have to fight to get their freedom back. Give a tyrant an inch and they will take a mile. Until people make a stand this will go on and on and on.
    103
  530. Like many I would have thought that letting these enemy soldiers enter higher danger zones, and die from radiation poisoning, would have been the right thing to do. There would have been a few less left to fight in the South East, and it would have made Putin look even more stupid.
    102
  531. In the last 24 hours Ukraine has destroyed some significant military supply routes. Am I being too cynical in wondering whether Putin is hoping that Ukraine will give him the opportunity to repair them without coming under attack?
    102
  532. Well done Poland!
    102
  533. Well said Nigel. Our "first past the post" system effectively disenfranchises a large proportion of the electorate. It may even disenfranchise MOST of us, because many vote solely to keep out Labour or the Tories, fearing that if they really voted for what they wanted it would be a wasted vote.
    102
  534. I have not a shred of sympathy for these truly BAD parents. These selfish, irresponsible people went out to enjoy themselves while leaving their daughter alone. My parents would never have done something like this, and I'm sure that many others will say exactly the same thing. Madelaine deserved better parents!
    101
  535. Well, compared to the vast majority of people, he has had a damn good run for his money: almost a hundred years living in the lap of luxury.
    101
  536. I'm certainly not a Boris fan, but replacing him with Scumbag Starmer would be like replacing Basil Fawlty with Frank Spencer.
    101
  537. The difference between places like Southall and the zoo is that the animals in the zoo are better behaved.
    101
  538. If only France and Germany had courageous and decent leaders, like Poland's PM then maybe things would be going a lot better for Ukraine. I'm so proud that my father was Polish!
    101
  539. Get those cluster munitions that are now in Ukraine to the front line, and start REALLY clearing out the Orc trenches, and that will very likely cause a lot of destabilisation.
    100
  540. A very well executed operation that Ukraine can be extremely proud of. Isn't it funny how, just like that sunken flagship, the cause was stored ammo exploding. Talk of Russia having a one trick pony when it comes to inventing explanations. Now, what about taking out those Crimea bridges that are so dear to Putin?
    100
  541. These lawyers shouldn't just be branded a disgrace. If they are knowingly helping people submit false claims then this is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE for which they should be JAILED. The Law Society should also strike them off. Of course when it comes to punishing the wrongdoing of its members the Law Society has about as much bite as a castrated poodle heavily dosed up on sedatives.
    100
  542. What sickens most Brits is that while pensioners are losing £300 around £40,000 pound per year is being spent on each illegal immigrant, keeping them toasty warm and well fed in plush hotels that many of us could never afford to stay in. Also, it's reported that 1.5 million migrants are receiving benefits.
    100
  543. Most of us are sick to the back teeth of having our taxes squandered on police who don't want to do the job they are paid to do! Those wasting time on things like this should be instantly dismissed.
    99
  544. Some of the New Year's very best fireworks!
    99
  545. I can imagine Trump as a school teacher, telling the little kid who has had the crap beaten out of him that it's his fault for not handing over his dinner money to the bully when told to.
    99
  546. Very well done Ukraine. Keep up the great work!
    99
  547. The last Ukraine winter took a heavy toll on Putin's Orcs, and the coming one will too. This is why those new weapons must keep coming to Ukraine in sufficient quantity and at a timely rate. Ukrainian forces are making excellent use of them and will ensure that Putin doesn't get a victory before the first snow begin to fall.
    99
  548. Keep it coming. Moscow is owed a hell of a lot more drones, and lots of serious damage and pain.
    99
  549. This news is really upsetting the Putin rent boys.
    99
  550. There are some NATO members that are so cowardly that if Putin pissed on them they would swear that it was just yellow rain.
    99
  551. Would that short circuit have been when an interrogator accidently touched the electrodes together while aiming for the victim's nether regions?
    99
  552. As I've just said elsewhere, there are Russian ships heavily bombarding Ukrainian cities. Jets that can take these out are most certainly defensive, and desperately needed.
    99
  553. I feel so sorry for the buildings.
    99
  554. If this report is correct then it is the best thing that has happened to Iran since the fall of the Shar. Hopefully it will just be the start, and once Iran is free there can be Nuremberg style trials for all those who helped with the oppression, with the same kind of punishments that they handed out.
    99
  555. And yet YouTube removes or hides most comments suggesting that those carrying knives are jailed!
    98
  556. "500 men" - exactly. Do we really want the kind of "men" who abandon their mothers and sisters, and sometimes their wives and children too?
    98
  557. And what about those who are "at risk" because these criminals aren't deported?
    98
  558. One of the things you are paying for is an obscenely large army of admin and managerial staff, that is often paid better than our doctors and nurses. What's even worse is that, far from helping those who do the real work, they often make it much harder for them to do their jobs!
    98
  559. Thanks for making me laugh. Many years ago I used to work with a South African girl, who recounted an interview experience she had had back home. She was told that she had excellent qualifications and fantastic references. If only she was black they would have given her the job.
    98
  560. As soon as they land they should be put on a flight to Rwanda, with good TV coverage!
    98
  561. It's about time Sunak fixed the pensions, after giving only a 3.1% rise. And let's not forget that most pensioners, unlike an awful lot of benefit scroungers, have paid taxes for all of their working lives.
    98
  562. And Putin's rent boys call Zelensky the comedian.
    97
  563. What a glorious sight to behold. I wonder if I'll live long enough to see a man land on Mars.
    97
  564. So true. And why can't the media call this grifter by her real name: Marlene Headley.
    97
  565. If all this hadn't come to light that "battle bus" would probably have been battling its way through the south of France this summer.
    97
  566. Am I the only one who thinks that it's crazy to let a man who has been declared bankrupt four times run a country's finances? Am I also the only one who thinks that anyone who has been declared bankrupt for a second time should never be allowed run a company again?
    97
  567. He should definitely be deported, but I won't hold my breath.
    96
  568. What about an advisor on anti-Semitism or hatred of white Christians, atheists and agnostics?
    96
  569. Unless a great many Labour MPs suddenly grow a conscience and quit TTK is dictator for almost the next 5 years.
    96
  570. When you are cleaning up s**t you sometimes get your hands dirty. Leave these very brave men alone and let them protect us without hinderance.
    96
  571. Just when you thought this insanity couldn't get any worse.
    96
  572. Perhaps, like me and so many others, these aren't far-right extremists, but people like me who remember what Ireland was like about 35 years ago. Then one felt completely safe, and on the whole most Irish people were fairly happy. I could cry at what's happen to Ireland since I lived there, and my Irish mother and many relatives must be turning in their graves with sorrow for Ireland's plight. Just like in Sweden, and the Netherlands, Ireland is being destroyed by people who don't belong there. In fact many European countries are facing existential problems from migrants who are determined not to fit in, and never will fit in: and will have lots of kids brought up to not fit in either.
    96
  573. "Apparent motivation" Concerns and anger over both illegal and inappropriate immigration have been simmering for well over a year, and probably very much longer. What do governments expect to happen when they ignore the concerns and will of the people they are there to serve? I for one, and many others too, have been predicting that something like this would happen for over a year. Most of the UK MSM has been sweeping people's serious concerns under the carpet, and STILL refuses to examine the very real underlying causes for what is currently happening.
    96
  574. If you want to know how desperate Russia is the the fact that it needs to buy weapons from North Korea just about says it all. So much for being a super power.
    96
  575. There's a difference between not bottling up your grief, and then moving on, and being an eternal whining mummy's boy like Harry.
    96
  576. It's truly heartbreaking to see those Orcs getting away without being roasted or shot.
    95
  577. If we had an even half decent Home Office those (Nazis) responsible for this appalling treatment would have been instantly dismissed!
    95
  578. If Ryanair and EasyJet are denying boarding without a valid reason then they need to be SUED!
    94
  579. It's not called "sabotage". It's called getting your arse kicked by the enemy! And there's going to be a lot more to come.
    94
  580. The Taliban would now be history if Pakistan had authorised British and American forces in Afghanistan to pursue them into its territory, but instead they gave the Taliban safe haven. Well, Karma isn't just for their Hindu and Buddhist neighbours!
    94
  581. And how many on this council might themselves not welcome close scrutiny?
    94
  582. Put out a heat of the moment tweet, that you don't really mean, and you get a lengthy jail sentence. However, do far worse, as a pro-Palestinian (in reality anti-Semitic) protestor and you won't even get arrested.
    94
  583. I love it when the vehicles are moving, because you know that some Orcs got a good roasting.
    94
  584. That so fills me with confidence. We have a Chancellor who isn't an economist and a deputy PM who left school at 16 with no qualifications whatsoever. Never mind Dante, "abandon all hope ye who enter here" should be displayed at all entry points to the UK.
    94
  585. There's also a push to bring in laws supporting Islam!
    94
  586. This reminds me of the pact between Stalin and Hitler. Very shortly after this Poland was invaded. We need to keep an eye on Taiwan.
    93
  587. Isn't it funny how everyone seems to take it for granted that politicians lie, and don't really seem to care. But look how upset many people get when a politician actually tells them a TRUTH that they don't want to hear.
    93
  588. If proven this warrants a lengthy jail term!
    93
  589. Not a munity. A special operation to de-Nazify the Kremlin.🤣
    93
  590. It's important to realise that Ukraine is only using it to defend itself, not in another country. If this allows it to quickly flush out the Orcs from their trenches then it might shorten the war and ultimately save a lot of lives: especially those of defenceless civilians that Russia enjoys murdering.
    93
  591. That's why so many of the woke lefties hate the countryside. It reminds us of the Britain we once loved.
    93
  592. That we allow such maniacs to teach our kids is unbelievable. Trying to stop kids calling their parents mum and dad IS a form of child abuse. Those responsible for this abominable suggestion should be sacked!
    93
  593. Well said! Anyone who commits an anti-Semitic crime, including supporting Hamas, should be instantly deported if they can claim nationality in another country.
    93
  594. Putin's rant reminds me of the obnoxious boys that many of us have taught in our time. They get caught red-handed doing something really nasty, and then they sound off about how unfair everything is and how none of it is their fault.
    93
  595. Is anyone surprised? If there was a dedicated maternity hospital in Gaza you can bet that Hamas would have its headquarters underneath it.
    93
  596. So, let me get this right. Army drivers are sitting on their hands just so the government can deny there is any problem. Meanwhile many services, like carers and social workers visiting vulnerable old people can't do their job.
    92
  597. The authorities should have acted sooner. Why should decent Irish people have their city desecrated?
    92
  598. Is anyone at all surprised? Do people not remember how Labour MPs burst out cheering when pensioners' heating allowance was cut?
    92
  599. Has there been any condemnation from the UN about deliberate attacks on Israeli civilians?
    92
  600. I was about to say exactly the same.
    92
  601. A few hefty lads should be given brown paper envelopes to finance any expenses incurred in visiting these squatters!
    92
  602. Judging by the relatively little damage done, one suspects that these drones were very small and launched close to or even within Moscow. There's a good chance that they were launched by Russian and maybe even Putin's own FSB in order to bolster his support.
    92
  603. We have a NHS that is on its knees and an education system that is buggered to hell. Both are, like many other services, desperately in need of money. But instead TTK wants to give £18 billion to Mauritius. We are also now hearing that he wants to pay out vastly more in "slavery reparations". This is OUR money that is urgently needed at home. We seem to have a PM and cabinet that are hell-bent on destroying this country, rather than serving its people.
    91
  604. We now know that the comment about the murderer coming from Cardiff was designed to mislead. He may have been born there, but his parents are from Africa.
    91
  605. Yeah right. Russian soldiers have been given such a good course in speaking Korean that they are completely fluent in it.
    91
  606. We need the right migrants, who will integrate into British society and contribute to it!
    91
  607. Maybe Trump and Putin will cry for him, but most will see it as some well earned Karma.
    91
  608. It costs a fortune to keep criminals in prison: money that is desperately needed for very worthy causes. It's just a pity we can't transport them a lot more cheaply, perhaps in the bilge containers of ships.
    91
  609. Let's be honest. Most speed limits and speed cameras have bugger all to do with safety and everything to do with raising money.
    91
  610. Because of the appalling example this sets, this ASSAULT definitely needs an equally high profile punishment, so that people don't get the idea that such behaviour is in any way acceptable.
    91
  611. Should be called a "thing" or a monster.
    90
  612. Hang on, didn't Germany introduce similar "health measures" in the 1930s? Then too it was necessary to protect "good Germans" from infection. Maybe the Polish will let them reopen that camp in the south of their country. I hear it used to have really nice showers, where the dirty unvaccinated can be cleaned up.
    90
  613. What a pathetic joke. Mordor doesn't even have enough Orcs to send to Ukraine, let alone deploy along its wester borders.
    90
  614. Am I the only one who lost count ages ago of how many times Iran has vowed vengeance?
    90
  615. Putting aside whether this cut was necessary, cheering something that will cause hardship to millions is truly vile.
    90
  616. Imagine what North Korea would be like if all that money invested in nuclear weapons and ICBMs had gone into farming and civilian infrastructure.
    90
  617. The trouble is that often it's not what women want. It's what the cavemen in the family MAKE them wear.
    90
  618. And yet if there's the most miniscule hint that someone might have said or done anything anti-Muslim then the police are on it, in mass, almost instantly.
    89
  619. What a sad joke. The Mordor doesn't even have enough Orcs to send into Ukraine, let alone post along the Western border.
    89
  620. Well we are almost on the same page, except that Ascension Island is both a pleasant place, and it would be expensive to transport the illegals and the needed supplies there. On the other hand, there are plenty of bloody miserable, remote Scottish islands which would provide a much cheaper alternative and really would be a deterrent.
    89
  621. When are we going to see Paula Vennells get the jail sentence that she so richly deserves?
    89
  622. A doctor talking common sense!
    89
  623. Two cornerstones of a fair justice system is that everyone is equal before the law, and that ignorance of the law is no excuse. If judges were worthy of their position then they would very publicly refute these guidelines.
    89
  624. Most of us wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. Also, the RNLI has now lost a hell of a lot of donations by taking illegals to the WRONG coast.
    89
  625. There's a simple reason Lancashire police revealed the information. Without people knowing this their extreme focus on Bulley falling in the river was absolutely risible. Even a cursory glance at the river where she was supposed to have fallen in told anyone who wasn't mentally enfeebled what a ridiculous hypothesis this was.
    89
  626. The really great thing about so many young men leaving the country is that it puts even more men at risk of being called up, and also older family men as well. So even more men, who don't want a Darwin Award, will head for the border. It will be really interesting to see what happens when Putin tries to close the borders.
    89
  627. Viktor Sokolov being taken out is extremely humiliating for Russia. Therefore one can be certain that if the Russians could have filmed a healthy Sokolov talking about the missile attack then they would have.
    89
  628. In the UK we have plenty of horrific crimes committed by people who should have been deported.
    89
  629. I imagine that Stalin and Hitler had a very similar meeting in 1939. Stalin probably congratulated Hitler on Germany's recovery from its defeat in WW I. Then they went on to discuss their joint invasion of Poland. This time the deal is that China supports Putin taking Ukraine and Russia supports Emperor Xi taking Taiwan.
    89
  630. Does anyone expect sense from someone who left school at 16 without even the most basic of qualifications, and didn't obtain any credible ones subsequently?
    89
  631. A "learning assistant" is not a proper qualified teacher, and is paid considerably less. Also, further education colleges are infamous for poor pay and exploiting their staff. As for schools struggling to fill vacancies, did you know that in most schools applications from older, more experienced, teachers go straight in the bin, because they cost more to employ. That's assuming they are prepared to spend the better part of a day filling in a school's torturous application form. They won't accept CVs and every school has it's own different form that looks like it's been designed by a dyslexic monkey.
    88
  632. Symbolic of how Putin's aggression towards Ukraine will backfire upon him?
    88
  633. That is so heartening to watch. Lot's more of the same please, and can we also see lot's of pipeline blown up as well.
    88
  634. Sunak and his cronies can get away with this because it's general knowledge that Labour would let even more in. We really do need a new party that's actually prepared to put genuine Brits first.
    88
  635. Labour politics has always been the politics of envy, that aspires to drag everyone done to the lowest level. Instead of lauding those who work hard and are rewarded for doing so, Labour stokes resentment against them. Around 30 years ago I did my PGCE at Leeds University. During a visit to a local private school I recall the deputy head mentioning that some parents were Mrs. Mops by night in order to pay their kids' school fees. An awful lot of parents make massive sacrifices to privately educate their children. VAT will break a lot of them. But the irony is that in doing so it will probably cost the state more, and put a lot of extra pressure on state schools, thus making education worse for the poorest.
    88
  636. The French absolutely must not let Herr Macron get away with behaving like a dictator. Retiring at 64 is not a big deal, but the way the law was forced through most certainly is.
    88
  637. Has anyone been able to keep count of how many times Putin has tried to frighten us with threats of nukes?
    88
  638. The warning was correct. Seeing the Orc escape was very distressing.
    88
  639. Maybe that would be a very good thing. Putin is far too weakened to open fronts in other countries, so the fighting would very likely still be focused on Ukraine, and would end very quickly with NATO boots on the ground and its pilots in Ukrainian skies.
    88
  640. Well, no one can accuse the Russian MoD of not having a sense of humour, because this is precisely the kind of warfare that the Ukrainians are vastly better at than their Orc opponents: unless, of course, the Orc snipers are gunning down civilians.
    87
  641. They are hard as nails when it comes to anyone upsetting the tender sensibilities of Muslims, or women peacefully holding a vigil for someone that one of their own has raped and murdered!
    87
  642. Probably a lot more difficult than even managing his incontinence.
    87
  643. With the very public and serious humiliation that Putin is currently suffering, the US giving permission to use long-range missiles might just be what's needed to persuade Russians to "remove" him and his cronies from power.
    87
  644. Actually if the West had reacted in the same way as it did to Russia's invasion of Crimea, and not supported Ukraine, then Russia would very likely now be in control of the whole country, and probably have moved on to Moldova. The West's support has been absolutely crucial, and its resolve must not waver.
    87
  645. Well, you see, protests in the Netherlands were originally very peaceful. But the police used water cannons and tear gas on those peaceful demonstrators. "He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind!"
    87
  646. Bad Orcs turned into good Orcs!
    87
  647. Of course, how could one notice anything as light as 46Kg.
    87
  648. Every time you think that you have heard the worse, an even more gruesome Russian atrocity comes to light. This is why it is so incredibly important that Russia is completely driven out of Ukraine, including Crimea, and defanged so that it can never again attack a peaceful neighbour.
    86
  649. Yep, usual Russian MoD video: getting ready for a flight, taking off, going for a joy ride, and landing. But no military targets were harmed in the making of this video.
    86
  650. That's a Computer Science and Mathematics OR! Innocent people went to jail. When are the guilty ones going to be jailed?
    86
  651. This does indeed look like a war purely to bolster one man's ego, which is why it makes no sense. A lot of wars seem to be like this, yet nobody ever seems to prevent them by the simple expedient of removing the megalomaniac.
    86
  652. Finding Hamas tunnels that weren't near schools, hospitals, churches and refugee camps is what would be surprising.
    86
  653. For God's sake, some of those raped and abused were little girls only 12 years old! What kind of people let those who did this, and those who turned a blind eye, get away with it?
    86
  654. Taking a foreign territory, with conscripted demoralised soldiers, and holding is against dedicated patriots, are two very different things. Those incredibly brave and determined Ukrainians have pushed these Nazis back several times already, inflicting heavy and humiliating loses on them. Supplying those weapons will help them do the same again. Russia crawled out of Afghanistan in the face of far few loses!
    86
  655. What makes me laugh is how keen the BBC is to report these lockdown protests, and yet they deliberately refused to report on some truly massive lockdown protests that occurred in the UK.
    86
  656. Australian government and police allowing pro-Hamas demonstrators to disrupt this day is deeply shameful, and dishonours all those brave Australians and Kiwis who gave their lives.
    85
  657. I doubt it is a coincidence that this is happening just before the Ukrainian offensive. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see similar incidents in other areas of Russia. It also wouldn't be that surprising if regions that want out of the Russian Federation took advantage. This is in fact one of Putin's greatest fears, which he alluded to only a few days ago.
    85
  658. I suspect most of us have parents or grandparents who fought or died in WW II. My grandfather was murdered in Belsen and my father fought. Therefore D-Day means something to us. But this isn't the case for Sunak, for whom the D-Day commemorations were just an inconvenience.
    85
  659. One of the quickest ways to come unstuck as a politician is to tell the truth.
    85
  660. Isn't it funny how Russia is getting so upset over an attack that it says only inflicted minor damage? When the TRUTH eventually comes out I expect that, once again, we will discover that Ukraine has given Russia a massive, and very humiliating, arse kicking.
    85
  661. So Russian trolls, there you have it. One of your own has confirmed that 5 Orcs are dying for every Ukrainian hero killed.
    85
  662. Imagine Putin visiting his troops in the front line. Well, all we can do is imagine it as the psychopath is a pathetic coward.
    85
  663. That is one big bunker, which must have taken a lot of time and shed loads of money to construct. It's very hard to believe that nobody in the hospital noticed it being built. Of course the BBC will refuse to report on it, and the UN will refuse to condemn where it was built.
    84
  664. Harry writing a book sounds like someone in a looney bin being given a crayon to write on the wall. What's it going to say: "mummy and daddy were mean to me, and wouldn't let me have a kitten".
    84
  665. MOST people in the UK are very happy that Musk is calling Starmer out!
    84
  666. No ifs, buts or maybes. The same thing must be done inside Russia! By far the best deterrent is the knowledge that whatever you do to someone else will be done to you, with interest.
    84
  667. Most of us would like to see both the WHO and UN completely defunded.
    84
  668. Like Georgia, which had 20% of it's country stolen by Putin, there are plenty of regions that have massive scores to settle. It would seem that with Putin's forces already badly stretched that there has never been a better time to get payback.
    84
  669. What a beautiful explosion! I just hope there were plenty of Orcs inside.
    84
  670. It's like accusing the Pope of being a Catholic.
    83
  671. Putin probably also says his mother was the Virgin Mary.
    83
  672. The Home Office's backdown is truly pathetic. They might as well now hang a massive banner over the white cliffs of Dover saying "Dingy Boys Welcome".
    83
  673. How many times do those Orcs have to be told? Don't drink vodka and smoke near the live ammo.
    83
  674. I bet, unlike his employees, this guy's salary is nowhere near minimum wage.
    83
  675. During my teaching practice I remember telling a bleeding heart liberal teacher, who suggested that some of the boys in my Y10 class could become violent, that I wouldn't hesitate to defend myself. She took those bad boys out of the class, and taught them separately. The benefit to the majority of good kids was truly amazing!
    83
  676. Lots, lots more of the same please, only with much bigger drones.
    83
  677. Nice to see the French helping, but STILL waiting to see videos of German weapons being used. I won't hold my breath.
    83
  678. Violence is to be expected when people feel that their democracy has been trampled on, by a government forcing through legislation, like a dictatorship, without a vote. What other course of action is left when a government abolishes the ballot box?
    83
  679. Russians really do need to get a good taste of the same medicine!
    82
  680. At last, someone talking some sense. When you are being attacked then any of your enemy's military areas is a fully legitimate target. Indeed military areas that are facilitating the attack on you are ESSENTIAL targets.
    82
  681. Why is it that actors and sports people think that what they say matters? Does anyone believe that most of them are particularly intelligent?
    82
  682. One can't help feeling that those who went to enjoy the spectacle of animals being tortured to death deserve what they got.
    82
  683. Even back in his Eton school days his teachers were reporting that this creature is a liar. In my day lying was considered a very serious character flaw and often punished more severely than the offense that the liar had tried to wriggle out of.
    82
  684. I'm very much siding with the French on this one. If they can properly manage their sewage then there is absolutely no reason why the British can't do the same. So many things are done very badly in the UK because the overriding priority is the payment of dividends to the parasitic rich, rather than investment in essential infrastructure and services.
    82
  685. Nice to see the Orcs being kept warm in that cold winter weather.
    82
  686. This is so long overdue. After what Kyiv has endured it's way past time that Muscovites got a taste of the medicine that Putin's been lavishing on Ukraine. I hope this is the first of many more such strikes, and that future ones will be a lot more damaging. Hopefully St. Petersburg will also get to taste some of this medicine too.
    82
  687. Where are these missiles being launched from? Because we need to VERY QUICKLY give Ukraine the means to take these missile bases out, no matter how far inside Russia they are!
    82
  688. China's incredible economic growth is mainly due to trade with the West. Its continued economic wellbeing still depends on this trade. Jeopardizing this for either Putin or by invading Taiwan would demonstrate stupidity of the highest order.
    81
  689. It's Marlene Headley that should be apologising, for being a complete pain. Almost certainly, if she had used her real name then Lady Hussey would never have asked her where she came from.
    81
  690. What a nice euphemism "irrational leaders" is. A much more honest description would be "deranged psychopath". But allowing a deranged psychopath to win is far more dangerous than fighting him!
    81
  691. Hopefully the first of many more such prosecutions. And when their sentence is served they should be deported!
    81
  692. An act of staggering stupidity, even by the standards of the SNP. If anything Scotland needs vastly more trees. It certainly doesn't need to cut them down. There must have been so many other places turbines could have been erected without cutting down a single tree.
    81
  693. The lesson to take home from this is that if the bridges are going to be blown up anyway then it's best for Ukraine to blow them up first, so that the Orcs can be stopped from escaping, and then slaughtered.
    81
  694. Same kind of thing happens in places like Rochdale, but our police turn a blind eye to them.
    81
  695. Frightened snowflakes like Nandy are the ones that need to be quarantined: permanently.
    80
  696. This is but one of many reasons why Russia must be completely driven out of Ukraine (including Crimea), and weakened enough to make sure it can never again attack another country! Of course, within Russia this kind of torture, for those who oppose the government, will continue.
    80
  697. So many of us would like to see the entire UN and WHO completely defunded. Why should our hard earned taxes be squandered on incompetent, terrorist loving, organisations?
    80
  698. This agreement is like a surgeon removing a virulent cancerous tumor, but not all of it. For a little while the patient will feel better, but in the long term the prognosis is extremely grim.
    80
  699. Millions of people, like me, find it impossible to understand why big, rich, powerful China can't just leave Taiwan alone. They don't need the island, and it poses no threat to them.
    80
  700. That was very distressing to watch, as every Orc got away alive.
    80
  701. Why am I not surprised at this?
    80
  702. A comment attribute to Voltaire is: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" This perfectly sums up what free speech and democracy means.
    80
  703. Would this be the same Russian MoD who once produced a video showing a missile being launched from a wood in winter, and landing in a field in summer?
    80
  704. It's as if the SS's and the Gestapo's finest were put into suspended animation, and then revived to be set loose on Ukraine.
    80
  705. These attacks are very welcome, BUT they are far too sporadic. Ukraine needs to make them much more regular, and more impactful, if they are to have much effect on the mindset of the Russian people: or any meaningful military significance.
    80
  706. You can never roast too many evil Orcs.
    80
  707. This kind of atrocity almost certainly wouldn't have been committed by Ukraine, because it would be totally counter productive. However, after the demonstrations over Navalny's death, it IS the kind of thing Putin would orchestrate and try to blame on Ukraine. This is especially so as Putin's support is weakest in the age group attending this concert.
    80
  708. Now that the Russians have cut off Crimea's water supply, it would be a very good time to use some of those Storm Shadow missiles against the Kerch bridge. If successful the Orcs there will die of thirst, if not they will be panicked into fleeing.
    80
  709. "Thou shalt not steal and occupy the dwellings of Ukrainian civilians!" Said the Lord.
    79
  710. The "unfortunate accident" was the doctor forgetting to put Putin in the same bucket as the afterbirth.
    79
  711. This so-called judge knows as much about justice as fish knows about riding a bicycle.
    79
  712. Many of those with "assets" have them because they worked bloody hard for many years, and didn't squander what they earned on expensive holidays, cars and nights out!
    79
  713. Let's see how many parents have the good sense to remove their kids from this school, where they are clearly not safe.
    79
  714. What our more fickle Western politicians need to understand is that the economic pressure on the Russian economy is unsustainable. If we keep up support for Ukraine Russia will crack under the strain!
    79
  715. Very glad to see those missiles being put to good use. Hopefully we will see them used SOON in a lot more successful strikes like this one. And if enough of Putin's Black Sea fleet is destroyed perhaps some can also be used to put his beloved Kerch bridge permanently out of action.
    79
  716. Let's hope that enough disgruntled Labour and Tory supporters have the courage and good sense to vote Reform UK, rather than letting those two parties take turns at screwing the hell out of us all.
    78
  717. This is on a par with Hitler's death camps, and Putin fully supported them, and does much the same. Those who want to abandon Ukraine should reflect on this.
    78
  718. This video really cheered up my morning. What a wonderful turkey shoot! Lots of vehicles and lots of Orcs.
    78
  719. While good news, Russian top brass aren't appointed for their intellectual prowess, so it won't be hard to replace them with new yes-men.
    78
  720. A key supply hub is really good. Expect lots more demoralised and panicking Orcs.
    78
  721. Sunak was utterly and completely useless, which was bad enough. But Starmer is deliberately hurting this country!
    78
  722. Don't take tea from strangers, and stay away from any open upstairs windows.
    78
  723. Ending the BBC license fee might gain Sunak a few extra votes.
    78
  724. It's always very heartening to read about the successes of the very brave men.
    78
  725. Diversity officers in the NHS is an obscene waste of money. With the shortage of doctors and nurses you NEED to employ ALL suitable candidates, whatever their background! I've said it many times before, but it bears repeating. Admin in the NHS, and many other areas, is like a malignant and virulent cancer, sucking up resources that are very badly needed elsewhere!
    77
  726. An excellent choice of target. Disable enough fuel depots and you bring the Orc army to a standstill.
    77
  727. Some Scandinavian countries are already, or are on the point of, calling time on all this Chicken Little nonsense.
    77
  728. Yes it was really upsetting to see so many filthy Orcs escape.
    77
  729. This should have been done from the start!
    76
  730. Derisory sentences when one considers that 30 months was handed out for tweeting a few hurty words.
    76
  731. Well done Ukraine. The whole of the free world supports your struggle.
    76
  732. If Europe had any sense they would have been preparing to do without Russian gas since February. For instance, Germany should have been working manically on restarting all its nuclear power stations.
    76
  733. Very well said Ursula. Every good, decent person agrees with you.
    76
  734. Every minister and MP who supported covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions is responsible for this economic catastrophe. AND Starmer and his Labour party bear a large share of the blame. There were a lot of Tory backbenchers who saw this disaster coming and staunchly opposed Downing Street's insanity, but unstinting support from Starmer and Labour gave No.10 the numbers they needed to carry out these insane and totally unnecessary measures.
    76
  735. What kind of despicable cowards situate their bases near hospitals and schools, hiding behind civilians? If Hamas had even the tiniest shred of decency, or cared even a little for Palestinian civilians, then they would have set up their bases as far as possible from places like this. But they deliberately choose to position themselves where they would attract the most harm to civilians.
    76
  736. To those of us who are old enough to have received a decent history education, the United Nations now looks like as big a joke as the League of Nations was.
    76
  737. I'm a qualified maths teacher who tutors all areas of A-level maths, including further maths. In the past I've also taught I.B. Diploma Higher Level Maths, and given a very well received Easter intensive revision course in it. I have a large bookshelf full of maths books, that includes such topics as Galois Theory and Non Euclidean Geometry. Yet I regard forcing students over 16 to do maths as an intensely stupid idea. If maths is taught PROPERLY up to the age of 16 then most students will learn more than enough of what they will need for later life. Those who really can't hack it would be far better off devoting their time to something they are good at.
    76
  738. Second soldier is unbelievably naive if he thinks he will be allowed see his family again, so that he can tell them the truth.
    76
  739.  @jerusalem330  Repeat after me. I trust Boris. The vaccines are safe.
    76
  740. Now we have to contend with the damage those idiot Labour MPs did by going over to the US to campaign for Harris. I hope TTK will have the good sense to be the FIRST to congratulate Trump, and make it sound very sincere.
    76
  741. Do we actually really have even 49 deaths that can be blamed on Omicron? That is, did Omicron alone put 49 otherwise healthy individuals into hospital. I'm somewhat skeptical.
    76
  742. Never mind anti-Israel, for years the UN has been strongly pro-Hamas. They have funneled large sums of money that were meant to help civilians in Gaza directly to Hamas. If that money had actually been used for civilians then their lives would have improved vastly. Ah, but then they wouldn't have supported Hamas.
    75
  743. I'd seen a report of this from a less reliable source yesterday. I'm so glad its true. The only dampener is that it doesn't appear that lots of Orcs were killed. Well, maybe it will be a nice fat missile next time instead of a small drone.
    75
  744. I just hope that Ukraine can keep up, or even increase, their offensive so that the Russian's aren't given a breathing space to regroup. There is so much more of the country, including Crimea, that needs to be purged of this Orc infestation. Sadly, of course, as this happens we will discover many more mass graves of butcher civilians.
    75
  745. Let's be honest. Jacinda Ardern is a very strong candidate for being the thickest PM that any Western democracy has ever chosen. After electing her Kiwis can no longer tell that joke about a Kiwi crossing the ditch increasing the average IQ of both countries.
    75
  746. Keep up the great work Ukraine. There are lots more Russian airports and planes just begging to be hit. What about the airports in Moscow and St. Petersburg?
    75
  747. What kind of sick, rabid animals do this to a defenseless, innocent young woman? Hamas CANNOT be reasoned with or negotiated with, anymore than you can reason with a rabid mad dog.
    75
  748. To anyone who has taken Immunology 101, the idea of a previous infection, or vaccination against it, increasing its likelihood runs totally contrary to the science. At worst one would expect a new variant to present antigens that weren't recognised, so that a previous inoculation would have no benefit, but one certainly wouldn't expect it to make things worse. Before Covid-19 I used to have respect for the CDC. I now regard them as totally untrustworthy.
    75
  749. A little over 40 years ago I visited Sweden, and remember what a safe and comfortable country it was. I could cry when I thing of what the animals that Sweden has let in have done to it.
    75
  750. Notice how, unlike the way the US and UK dealt with the Houthis, Pakistan didn't spend weeks spouting pathetic warnings, but got on with what needed to be done right away.
    75
  751. Nice to hear someone telling the truth about what most ministers are. Of course, Cummings can include himself in such descriptions.
    75
  752. These modelers draw their conclusions by only considering the worst possible scenarios, regardless of how unlikely they are. Other far more reasonable scenarios are resolutely ignored. Omicron is a perfect example of this. It has now been going strong in South Africa for at least 6 weeks, which is ample time to determine its severity. Yet the scaremongers simply refuse to accept the evidence, from South African doctors, that it is EXTREMELY MILD.
    75
  753. My parents would have rather starved than leave their children alone!
    75
  754. Of course Putin's trip was kept really secret. There are plenty of people in Russia who would take him out if a good opportunity presented itself. And really not that many who would seriously mourn him if it happened.
    75
  755. Any government that doesn't respect our laws, or seeks to use legislation to subvert them, needs to be urgently removed from power! People whose fathers and grandfathers gave their lives for our freedom are becoming second class citizens in their own country.
    75
  756. Sack the judge, and overturn his decision. Also judges belonging to certain groups, who are very unlikely to rule impartially, should be banned from hearing such cases.
    74
  757. If someone gets hurt, or killed, in the process of committing a serious criminal offence then the state shouldn't intervene!
    74
  758. Destroying the tanks is good, but its always distressing see Orcs getting away alive.
    74
  759. Well said Nina. I love crisps and chocolate, and can afford them, but most of the time I leave them on the supermarket shelves. A good proportion of those who succumbed to covid-19 were lard buckets. A relatively small number can't help their weight, but most obesity IS down to greedy piggy wiggies stuffing their face.
    74
  760. Didn't anyone ever tell Gina that it's a frog you have to kiss, not a toad.
    74
  761. Several years ago I was coming back up Hadley Road in Enfield from a walk. It was a stiflingly hot day, so I was horrified by what I saw. There was a dad and his two sons dressed in shorts and T-shirts, but the unfortunate mother was swaddled from head to toe in a black burqa. Does me considering this abuse of women make me an Islamophobic far-right racist?
    74
  762. From Prigozhin's perspective he has taken Bakhmut and so staying there only presents an embarrassing downside when Ukraine takes it back. He wants the regular Russian army to get the blame for that. When this happens it will be really entertaining to watch the recriminations fly between the psychopaths.
    74
  763. Those restrictions should have been lifted long ago!
    74
  764. This is why it's so essential that Russia isn't allowed any sort of victory!
    74
  765. Most honours are rewarded for cronyism!
    74
  766. Very nasty, but this is what happens when you let Russia get away with atrocities without making any significant strikes on their facilities.
    74
  767. Millions of us, myself included, would be very happy to carry out the sentence, even if it meant some inconvenience and expense to us.
    74
  768. The most worrying thing is that Bercow got away with this for years! There are many more getting away with as much, if not worse, and most will never be called to task.
    74
  769. If most people weren't completely scientifically illiterate they would realise how crucial oil is for our chemical industries that create so much of what they take for granted.
    74
  770. Where else would you expect Hamas to locate such facilities? Well, maybe in schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
    73
  771. If these Orcs passed up the opportunity to surrender then they richly deserved to die!
    73
  772. Short of someone actually making a protest against wearing a mask I would have thought that this is almost impossible to legally enforce. If someone says they are exempt that's it. One is not allowed ask them their reason for exemption as this breaches medical privacy rights. I doubt any reputable judge would look favourably on a police officer simply saying that they didn't believe a person was telling the truth about their exemption.
    73
  773. When I've got vastly better, and longer lasting, NATURAL IMMUNITY it is not my civic duty to put my arse on the line with poorly tested vaccines which won't benefit me in the least. If the classics and PPE degree brigade were "listening to the science" then they wouldn't want me to either.
    73
  774. As well as laughing at Australia's OTT response to covid-19, people are asking why Aussies stand for these kind of atrocities. Politicians are there to serve the people, not the other way around!
    73
  775. I bet they were subsequently released without being charged!
    73
  776. The House of Lords would be pretty empty if all the liars and cheats were stripped of their peerages, which is how a lot of them probably got them in the first place!
    73
  777. I wish we could send the whole bloody cabinet, plus PM, on a one way ticket!
    73
  778. Everyone who isn't a pervert that enjoys spreading groundless fear, or a bed wetting snowflake, will welcome this very long overdue move.
    72
  779. Things in the UK would be a lot better if we could elect all our top judges!
    72
  780. This beggars belief. Is a drug dealer, with mental disorders, a better person to teach someone about Islam than one of the local mosques? For a country that isn't in the EU I'm sick about hearing what the ECHR thinks.
    72
  781. This woman might as well be trying to convince an SS officer to go and pray in a synagogue. UK police don't arrest people for anti-Semitism or supporting Hamas. It's as simple as that.
    72
  782. Let's be honest. Lineker is hardly Noble laureate material. Why the BBC thinks he is worth his obscene salary totally escapes all those with even a modicum of intelligence. He may well be a great has-been footballer, but when it comes to presenting MOTD there are plenty of people who could do much better for less than one twentieth of what he is paid, and would be very happy to have the job.
    72
  783. The ONLY thing she is deeply sorry about is losing the whip, and the grief she has got.
    72
  784. This is going to look like a monastic retreat compared to what will happen if such marches are allowed to go ahead on Armistice Day!
    72
  785. Never mind just the elderly, in this day and age the BBC ought to stand on its own feet, like all the other TV and radio channels. If it's as bloody good as we're told then the sponsorship and advertising will flood in. If it isn't then, like any lame horse, it needs to be put down.
    72
  786. Would that be the military base that's based in a maternity hospital?
    72
  787. Only in Britain could money that's meant to be used to prevent terrorism go to organisations promoting it. I think you really have to work hard to achieve this level of incompetence!
    72
  788. My God, it's tough being a sunflower in a Ukrainian field.
    72
  789. If the Home Office had even a shred of decency it would sack the two Gestapo officers that treated these Hamas survivors so appallingly. It's a safe bet that if they had done this to Muslims the Home Office would have dealt with them instantly.
    71
  790. Regular Russian squaddies would be very wise to surrender immediately. Most of the Wagner Group that died were just prisoners. Those 25,000 or so that remain are hardened mercenaries that can probably each take out several regulars.
    71
  791. What was done to this Batley teacher was clearly illegal, but as usual a blind eye was turned. Imagine the police response if a baying mob turned up outside a mosque.
    71
  792. Maybe that's because no other country in the world is so profligate at handing out the money of its hard-working taxpayers!
    71
  793. Many of us are asking why this girl was never taken to hospital by social workers to undergo a careful examination. It would have revealed her previous injuries, and she might now be alive and with people who would have loved and cared for her.
    71
  794. As I'm certain Katharine will confirm, you only need one disruptive kid (and there are often more) in a class to totally destroy the lesson for everybody. When I taught in New Zealand I could instantly send a kid out of class to the referral room, where he would be kept for the rest of the day, or even more than one day. My head of maths actually encouraged this. In the UK we care far too much about the rights of the bad kids, and don't give a damn about the good ones who want to learn. This is one of the reasons why teaching in most UK schools is hell on earth.
    71
  795. Many of us have been saying exactly this for a long time. Bases that launch missiles against Ukraine are completely legitimate targets, regardless of where they are.
    71
  796. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    71
  797. With 9.4 million of working age not working there is absolutely no excuse for low-skilled immigration. There are SEVERAL MILLION people who are quite capable of doing these jobs and should not be receiving benefits if they refuse to work.
    71
  798. I wonder how much support Putin would enjoy if people in cities like Moscow thought that they would have visited upon them the same as what Putin visited upon others?
    71
  799. Putin probably also expects Santa Claus to give him all of the old Soviet Union for Christmas.🤣
    71
  800. Let the lazy bastards go on strike. As most people now can't get easy access to them they won't even notice it! Last year I diagnosed myself as needing hernia surgery and referred myself to a private specialist: bypassed the GP completely.
    71
  801. Comment removed for calling a terrorist a rabid dog.
    71
  802. Xi might like to consider how well Putin's "special military operation" went.
    71
  803. Let's, of course, forget that Stalin had a pact with Russia. They divided up Poland, which effectively started WW II. The only reason Russia ended up fighting against Germany was because Hitler subsequently stabbed Stalin in the back. It had absolutely nothing to do with making a stand against fascism!
    71
  804. Crimea ISN'T Russia territory, it's part of Ukraine!
    71
  805. It's important that Ukraine keeps the supply routes from Belgorod and via the Kerch bridge seriously disrupted.
    71
  806. A rain forest (formally) the size of the Amazon creates its own climate, through the incredible amount of transpiration. So this drought is most likely due to the insane amount of deforestation, and might even become the norm and eventually turn the amazon into a desert!
    71
  807. "You can't keep treating people like sheep" Unfortunately Tim, there are millions of Brits who ARE behaving like frightened bleating sheep.
    71
  808. A cowardly act by a cowardly man! MOST agree with what Suella said and if Sunak wasn't completely spineless he would have backed her all the way.
    71
  809. Having a Polish father, I can tell you that the Poles have a long memory when it comes to Russia. My father spent two years in a Russian Labour camp after being caught crossing from German occupied Poland to Russian occupied Poland. God only knows how long he would have been there if Germany hadn't turned on Russia. He then had the choice of fighting with the Russians or the British. On choosing the British the Russian officer tried to intimidate him into choosing them, but luckily the British officer supported his right to choose. You don't stop a bully by placating him. You have to be strong enough to give him a bloody nose!
    70
  810. Contraception is freely available. There needs to be some sanction for people who are totally irresponsible and have litters of kids that they can't afford to keep. Why should the rest of us pay for this kind of behaviour?
    70
  811. The only distressing part was seeing some of the Orcs escape.
    70
  812. Over here we desperately need MBGA hats and T-shirts, and people to wear them with pride.
    70
  813. A lot of truth in this. Herr Macron wanted, among other things, a pan European army. And guess who was going to be pulling the strings. Under this dictator the French now enjoy less freedom than they had under the Nazis. It must really infuriate him that the French people can see Brits going to restaurants without being asked to show their papers.
    70
  814. It is a very logical suggestion. If you want to belong to a club then you abide by its rules. Russia doesn't abide by any of the rules of the United Nations, so what is the purpose of keeping it on board?
    70
  815. Being next to Ukraine, and with troublesome Transnistria, Moldova is very likely Putin's next target if he wins in Ukraine. However every single Baltic state is at high risk, and former Warsaw pact countries are also at risk. This is why, no matter what the cost, Putin must be denied any sort of victory in Ukraine, and must also be driven out of Crimea: and his bridge totally destroyed.
    70
  816. Only in Bonkers Britain could we have a deputy PM who doesn't even have a single CSE to her name.
    70
  817. Kaliningrad would be very easy to take because it's got a relatively small number of Orcs, is isolated from the rest of Russia, and hard to resupply. A good saturation bombing would take care of it.
    70
  818. After mRNA being found in breast milk, I expect that some of it will also have been incorporated into the pancreas of some people. I'm wondering if this will then give the immune system lots of little nudges that will eventually lead to type I diabetes. So, in the next few years, keep an eye out to see if there is an "unexplained" increase in this disease.
    70
  819. He's being given the best medical attention after drinking a cup of tea that didn't agree with him.
    70
  820. Well, things do tend to get complicated when one of the parties is completely untrustworthy and has no intention of negotiating in good faith.
    70
  821. It's not a retreat. It's a special operation to return unwanted annexed territory to Ukraine.
    70
  822. Those who don't know that Sunak is finished are like people waiting for a body to start decomposing before they declare the person dead. And because they have waited so long Sunak has taken the Conservative party to the grave with him!
    70
  823. I've always greatly admired Mossad, but this takes my admiration to a whole new level.
    69
  824. Of course, if you are a rich MP you can send your kids to private schools and pay for private health care, which is why most don't give a toss.
    69
  825. Why have another job when, under Labour, you can take lots of backhanders?
    69
  826. I fear that both the Conservatives and the Labour party are far two concerned about upsetting militant Muslims.
    69
  827. Does this really indicate any confidence in these jabs? Yet millions of mentally enfeebled people are desperately queuing up to get more of the same. Society really has become dystopian.
    69
  828. By far the best way to deal with threats from the likes of Medvedev, or Putin for that matter, is to be seen to be very publicly laughing in their face and mocking them. Being laughed at and ridiculed, especially if their own people can see it happening, really hurts people like this.
    69
  829. The people who raided this man's house and took the squirrel he had rescued as a baby, and kept as a pet for years, are truly sick and evil. As Peanut was inside most of the time there is more chance that someone's pet cat had rabies than this squirrel. This was just an excuse for these wicked people to murder that squirrel. I wonder if any of them has a young daughter. She must be so proud of her daddy.
    69
  830. Hamas's demands are like Hitler demanding that his death camps be left fully functioning.
    69
  831. Other countries did ban them. But few countries have cowards as spineless as Sunak.
    69
  832. It's funny how the UK's undeclared war on Russia would stop instantly if all Putin's Orcs withdrew from Ukraine, including Crimea, and the attacks by Russia stopped.
    69
  833. 10% reduction means there's a lot more to do.
    69
  834. When I lived in Westend, Tegel was much more convenient for me than Schönefeld. An awful lot of Berliners are going to really miss that airport.
    69
  835. Of course Putin's advisor communicates with the spirits: countless bottles of Vodka.
    68
  836. Perhaps, rather than whining about having a ceasefire the UN should be demanding that Hamas stop using children as human shields: which they seem to do a lot!
    68
  837. What Hamas did at that music festival was like something straight out a some fantasy horror story. Orcs descending on some peaceful village celebration and butchering everyone they could. Is it any wonder that so many of us regard the likes of Hamas as sub-human?
    68
  838. There is no way that Putin will ever retreat, because a victory in Ukraine is now existential to him. In regard to Putin this can only end one of two ways. The whole of Ukraine is conquered, or Putin is "removed" from power. I strongly favour the latter option.
    68
  839. The ONLY person responsible for this death was Liam Payne himself.
    68
  840. It looks like a few Orcs managed to jump off the boat and swim away, which is a bit sad.
    68
  841. For many years now if you sang a certain song at Tottenham Hotspur football matches you would get arrested. But the truth is that while the song was in exceedingly bad taste it was much more a case of winding up the other side than intending any real hatred. However we now have a large number of certain ethnicities in this county whose actions are very deliberately anti-Semitic, and our WOKE police turn a blind eye and deaf ear to their appalling, and illegal, behaviour.
    68
  842. Ironically, kicking Diane Abbott out of the Labour Party could get them a lot more votes, as many would be supporters were frightened off by her.
    68
  843. The ones who always pay for pay rises are those in no position to fight for similar ones. This is why it's so important to keep the triple lock for pensioners, and even enhance it.
    68
  844. The same Russia that butchered 22,000 defenseless Polish POW officers at Katyn, during WW II: among many other atrocities. Russia hasn't change one iota since then! This is why it's so incredibly important that Russia is contained and does not win.
    68
  845. Unless I'm mistaken, UK contract law requires the terms of the contract to be executed in good faith. Is there nothing else that requires the government to honour the spirit of the law as well as its letter? Of course, what I'm thinking of are vaccine passports, because they are a form of coercion, which could in some instances more or less force someone to get vaccinated. People should also be aware that if you are at very low risk from covid-19 it could well be far better to contract the virus and develop natural immunity. The reason is that a vaccine typically only exposes your immune system to one of the virus's antigens, so that's all your immune system will recognise in the future. In stark contrast the immune system of an infected person will be exposed to all of a virus's antigens. This makes it fairly likely that natural immunity may be much superior. It may last a lot longer and it may be far better at recognising future variants and similar viruses. Those who are vaccinated are deprived of the opportunity to develop such immunity.
    68
  846. The anti-Semitic Met Police disgust me. If there were people calling for a war against Muslims you can be certain that the Met would have been only too eager to arrest them.
    68
  847. The trouble is that Moscow is allowed to do this with complete impunity. I'm not suggesting stooping to Putin's level and murdering civilians in Moscow, but it does have buildings and infrastructure that could be taken out with little or no loss of life. Major transport hubs or bridges could be blown up late at night, and skyscrapers in the business district could be demolished. Let's not forget that the IRA destroyed the NatWest Tower, and they had far less resources than what are available to Ukraine.
    68
  848. Unfortunately the do-gooders have completely forgotten about 7th Oct, and Hamas' promises to commit similar atrocities.
    68
  849. Si le rouble est effectivement en train de s’effondrer, il est temps d’intensifier réellement la pression sur la Russie.
    67
  850. This is like the days when you could visit the local looney bin to laugh at the antics of the inmates. But Russia has very kindly made a video of two of them ranting, so we can all have a good laugh from the comfort of our home.
    67
  851. I'm not Jewish, but I think it's appalling that a channel funded by us taxpayers is allowed to get away with not saying that Hamas is a terrorist organisation.
    67
  852. Going back about 35 years I can remember how I'd sometimes meet a friend in Leicester Square to take in a show and then go for a meal. She lived on the southern outskirts of London and I lived on the norther outskirts. As a result I'd always worry a little bit about her getting home safety. I can't imagine how much I'd worry today.
    67
  853. I too blame Ukraine for sending those poor innocent drones to their death.
    67
  854. Plenty more oil and gas facilities are in urgent need of the same treatment!
    67
  855. Parents also have an absolute right to know what degree and teacher training a teacher has!
    67
  856. Let's take a look at what we weren't told: 1. We weren't told that the IFR was just 0.3%. That it was overwhelmingly the very old and/or very sick that died, and that for the vast majority Covid-19 was less hassle than a bad cold. In fact many didn't even notice they had it. 2. We weren't told that almost all the masks people wore were completely useless. Something confirmed by several very reputable studies, the Cochrane review being the most recent. 3. We weren't told that once you had had Covid-19 you gained absolutely brilliant natural immunity. Again, this was confirmed by several very reputable studies. 4. We weren't told about the report in 2017 on mRNA treatments that said there were very nasty side effects which nobody yet had a clue about how to circumvent.
    67
  857. Finland and Sweden will be very warmly welcomed into NATO.
    67
  858. Many of us suspect that a lot of them have not, rather than will not, survived.
    67
  859. With them living under the same roof, one has to ask whether Nicola knew all about this.
    67
  860. Bugger the rapid tests. What people want is a rapid end to the lockdown insanity.
    67
  861. Some always take advantage to carry out crime. However, having lived in Dublin about 35 years ago I remember a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. My Irish mother and relatives must be turning in their graves with sorrow for what certain groups of immigrants have done to Ireland. So its understandable that most Irish people are very angry at how their government has betrayed them. The Irish are some of the most welcoming and tolerant people in the world. But certain groups do not belong in Ireland, or any civilised Western country, and they never will.
    67
  862. The police weren't in the least frightened to act when a group of women were holding a peaceful, totally non-disruptive, vigil for Sarah Everard, whom one of their own had raped and murdered. In fact they seemed to positively relish breaking up that vigil.
    67
  863. Lockdown sent tens of thousands of otherwise sound businesses to the wall. And businesses are still failing as a result of it. It also destroyed the work ethic among the few students that still had any. Why work hard when teachers are giving you inflated grades for doing nothing, or the exams are a lot easier? As this summer will (or is at least meant to) be the first year of proper exams it will be interesting to see how these lazy students do.
    67
  864. It seems that, at least in UK secondary schools, the only thing NOT required of our teachers is that they have good knowledge of and are able to teach their subject well.
    67
  865. What infuriates me is that in a NHS that is under extreme pressure resources were wasted saving a triple killer's life, so that the taxpayer can now waste hundreds of thousands of pounds keeping him in prison.
    67
  866. That made me chuckle. I'm certainly not racist, but to look at some of the bus stops after school in Enfield Town one wouldn't think you were in England if it weren't for the weather.
    67
  867. About as combat ready as the half a million that have either been killed or injured?
    66
  868. People with flu should be tucked up at home in bed, NOT blocking NHS beds that those who are genuinely ill urgently need!
    66
  869. Do you mean tougher than allowing Hamas supporters to march down our streets waving swastikas?
    66
  870. Funny how Putin isn't backing up Macron's claim. Macron, tu es un menteur!
    66
  871. If these guys want to continue living they will immediately surrender as soon as they reach their garrisons.
    66
  872. Another empty and pathetic threat.
    66
  873. Wasn't this soldier being sent home because of disciplinary action, and meant to have stayed at the airport and got on a plane? If so then let North Korea do what they want with him.
    66
  874. He probably tested positive for covid-19 after being admitted to hospital for accidentally bumping into an umbrella tipped with ricin, or accidently putting some polonium in his tea.😉
    66
  875. Parents should be glad that the BBC has Linker, because he reminds kids who aren't academic that no intelligence whatsoever is required to be a footballer.
    66
  876. Is TTK, and his cabinet, really too thick to understand that people GENUINELY fear for the safety of their daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends? What would he do if his wife or daughter was threatened?
    66
  877. So proud to be a very healthy Pure Blood, who is almost 66!
    66
  878. Like Ukraine and Europe, Israel has learnt not to rely on a TACO.
    66
  879. This is the time to step up the pressure, especially before Trump becomes president.
    66
  880. Imagine what could have been done if they had used long-range missiles. And this wouldn't have changed what Trump will do in the least.
    66
  881. So true, but she can start to pay for her wickedness with a substantial time in jail!
    66
  882. Bad Orcs turned into good Orcs.
    65
  883. How, can you rule out a third party if you haven't a clue what's happened?
    65
  884. Where will Russia get its Orcs from without a highly unpopular mobilisation? If Ukraine can keep killing Orcs at the same rate, or even increase it then Russia isn't going to be do much more invading anywhere. We need to keep supplying Ukraine with weapons, and training. In fact, we need to up the rate at which we are doing this.
    65
  885. This is not the Ireland I knew and loved when I lived there little over 30 years ago. The Irish have always given a warm welcome to people, but unfortunately they didn't realise the kind of people they have been letting in in recent years. Unfortunately even with that knowledge, like in the UK, their politicians seem determined to sell those who elected them down the river.
    65
  886. Now what about giving the Kerch bridge the same treatment?
    65
  887. Ah, but the whole point of "care in the community" isn't the welfare of the individual and society. It's the welfare of the government's bank balance!
    65
  888. Instead of worrying about Taiwan, Xi ought to fix this SHAMEFUL situation.
    65
  889. There are 365 days in the year, so banning all protests on Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday, and maybe a few others, is simply showing respect, not trampling on democracy and free speech. If we had a decent government, that weren't abject cowards, they would quickly pass a law to this effect, that should have all-party support, with any MPs opposing it named and shamed. AND our WOKE police should be ordered to take whatever measures necessary to enforce such bans.
    65
  890. 'It's not very easy to go off-grid in today's world' This is precisely why intelligent people keep an open mind as to the possibility of foul play.
    65
  891. Very well explained. Bakhmut does seem to present a wonderful opportunity to slaughter Orcs, who almost seem to be asking to be killed.
    65
  892. Meanwhile, selfish people, who take their freedom for granted, continue to holiday in Turkey, instead of boycotting it until it ends its opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Greece has just as much to offer, so there really is no excuse for taking a holiday in Turkey.
    65
  893. Putting boots on the ground in Ukraine would send a very clear message that Russia will not be allowed any sort of victory in Ukraine. This might well be enough to make most Russians finally lose patience with Putin.
    65
  894. These protesters can only be removed if they are breaking the law. In this case they shouldn't have just been removed they should have been arrested and charged!
    65
  895. Nothing like a good old consultation for wasting time and stuffing the wallets of a few cronies.
    65
  896. To paraphrase an old saying: "if you don't like the heat, get out of Ukraine"!
    64
  897. Suella Braverman told it EXACTLY as it is, and should be applauded for saying so. Notice also that it's not a white person saying this. We cannot allow the TRUTH to be silenced because certain groups don't want it to be known.
    64
  898. Many of us who voted Reform UK feel nothing but contempt for those who voted for either Labour or the Tories.
    64
  899. Russia desperate to be able to show any kind of victory sounds about right. And, speaking of supply lines, isn't it time that the Kerch bridge was hit again?
    64
  900. Until random stop and searches, without needing any reason, take place, and there is a mandatory jail sentence for those then found carry knives, this WILL continue.
    64
  901. The fact that Israel is still finding very significant tunnels shows exactly why they need to keep fighting Hamas. Also, think of just how vastly better the lives of those in Gaza would have been if the money intended for them hadn't been embezzled by Hamas to build all these tunnels and buy weapons and equipment. But then, well off Gazans wouldn't have supported Hamas!
    64
  902. Am I the only one who would much rather he banned the illegal dinghy boys?
    64
  903. This is why some countries ban the wearing of oppressive clothing in public. It's not being anti-Islamic, it's supporting girls and women who would be forced to dress in a certain manner against their will. I know two Muslim women doctors, one from Pakistan and the other from Bangladesh. Neither wear a burka or a hijab. Religion is never an excuse for belittling or mistreating women, and no decent politician should sanction such behaviour.
    64
  904. From all of us freedom loving Brits: to Russia with love.
    64
  905. Olaf probably just wants to make sure that all Russian troops are vaccinated before they invade.
    64
  906. I could cry for Sweden, when I remember the wonderful safe country I visited 40 years ago.
    64
  907. Notice how old this woman is. She wants our children to have totally unnecessary vaccines for HER sake, not theirs. Many of us anti-vaxxers have little yellow books jam packed with vaccines that we have willingly paid for. Not wanting to take, or have your children take, a poorly tested vaccine that you don't need does not make you anti-vaccine. It just shows you have some intelligence, and are capable of independent thought.
    64
  908. Being PM is just Rich Boy Rishi's hobby. If he buggers it up he can simply go back to being coddled by his millionaire wife. Unfortunately most of us don't have such a luxury to fall back on.
    63
  909. Spain has a right to defend its territory against invasion!
    63
  910. The whole idea of Reform is to offer an alternative to BOTH Conservative and Labour. Doing a deal with either of these despicable parties would irrevocably damage Reform and betray all who vote for them.
    63
  911. This brave, decent officer was cleared by the courts, and it has since been revealed that Kaba was a very active member of one of London's most vicious gangs. What the IOPC is doing is vindictive persecution.
    63
  912. Few stories about the war give me greater pleasure than seeing a good explosion on Russian territory. I'm still really hoping to see lots of Russian oil and gas pipelines taken out and, though it's not really part of Russia, the Kerch Bridge properly demolished.
    63
  913. Looks like Kemi took her lessons in being truthful from Boris.
    63
  914. How embarrassing for Russia to have to do a dance around Rocket Man.
    63
  915. Another day, another empty Putin threat.
    63
  916. It's like fighting to decide who gets to stand on the top of a manure heap.
    63
  917. Finland will be very warmly welcomed by other NATO countries who prize freedom and liberty very highly. Hopefully admission will be fast tracked with the utmost urgency. Also, with the Russian army bogged down in Ukraine, now would be an excellent time for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom, along with several other regions that definitely don't want to be part of Russia. An opportunity as good as this may never present itself again. As soon as one region declares its independence quite a few others will follow in very short order. The oppressed people of Belarus might also like to note that Putin is no longer in a position to support their Fat Dictator's hold on power.
    63
  918. Motives? Simple. Kim Jong Un can see Putin making nuclear threats, and so he wants to show the world that he is a big man just like Putin (that's sarcasm, by the way). Now, just imagine what he will do if he sees Putin's blackmail succeed.
    63
  919. Never a truer word! Negotiating with Hamas is as futile as Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. And we all know the terrible price the Jewish people paid for that failure!
    63
  920. Expel these students!
    63
  921. I suspect many would like to see Dan Andrews make a one-way trip to an ICU bed. Mind you, he wouldn't be in it long before some public spirited person pulled the plug on him.
    63
  922. Despite this, most people are very willing to forgive and forget how rich boy Sunak CHEATED OAPs out of their "triple lock". Their pension rise is now way below the rate of inflation. Even if they hadn't had what they were entitled to STOLEN from them, many would have still struggled terribly.
    63
  923. That 23 million will include most OAPs who rich boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock" and will now get a pension rise well below inflation. Even without having their rightful rise STOLEN from them, most OAPs would have still struggled!
    63
  924. Boris Johnson knew this would happen right from the start. The poorer you are the worse lockdowns have hurt you. On the other hand the likes of Eton boys haven't suffered in the least, so if you think Boris gives a fat frog's fart then think again.
    63
  925. I never tire of watching Orcs get roasted.
    63
  926. This is rather like Hitler saying he should have invaded Poland sooner.
    63
  927. Great ending to the video. I was getting really upset, earlier into it, when I thought the Orcs were getting away.
    63
  928. Could part of the reason be that Sunak allows the pro-Hamas marches that other governments banned?
    63
  929. Actually Britain is most definitely accountable! If Britain had not rescued any of these small boats that got into trouble or allowed anyone else rescuing them to land in Britain, then there would have been vastly fewer of the crossings that lead to such accidents.
    62
  930. Imagine what would have happened to the country if Sturgeon had been leading it. Well, we would no longer have an immigration problem, because she would have buggered us up so badly that no one would want to come here anymore. I'll bet none of those tears are for all those Scottish businesses that she sent to the wall.
    62
  931. This country is perfect for guerilla warfare. There's no reason why each resistance fighter shouldn't be able to kill scores of rabid Taliban dogs, over a period, if they pick their battles carefully.
    62
  932. This is why we NEED the death penalty!
    62
  933. Unless it's below -15ºC, and you are in danger of getting frost bite, covering your face should be illegal for everyone, and punishable by a hefty fine. In fact, I'd even outlaw having a hoody up on a hot day.
    62
  934. If only this were true. Think of the scientific and technical skills needed to send a spacecraft light years. If what this guy said was true the US would have made incredible technological progress in the last few decades.
    62
  935. Well Dominic Cummings is certainly no angel, but maybe, like the vast majority, he detests liars and cheats. Even before Cummings branded Hancock a serial liar, and claimed he had lied on at least 15 to 20 occasions, most of us with any intelligence had already come to that conclusion. Rather than wondering why someone has it in for him, Hancock might ask why some people don't. He is one of the most distrusted and hated men in the country!
    62
  936. Well one thing we can all agree on is that both Shapps' intelligence and integrity are very, very far from being infinite.
    62
  937. Well, all people need to do is delete the NHS app from their phone.
    62
  938. Let's hope Ukraine takes maximum advantage of this before Trump becomes president.
    62
  939. There are an awful lot more who don't even know that their loved ones have long since become dogmeat on some battlefield in Ukraine!
    62
  940. I didn't think we could get a PM more incompetent than Sunak, but Starmer had already convincingly won that prize.
    62
  941. That's really good to hear. There are also regions that very much want to leave the Russian Federation. Let's hope we see some action kick off in them. With Putin seriously weakened there's never been a better time to strike a blow for freedom.
    62
  942. What's particularly sad is that out of all the MPs this maniac considered murdering he settled on the one that was BY FAR the most decent.
    62
  943. Once Putin controls Ukraine he WILL move on to other peaceful countries. This is why it's so important to continue strong support for Ukraine and give them the kind of weapons they need to clear the Orc infestation from their country. But the overarching reality is that for peace Putin and his so-called "strong men" need to be "removed" from power.
    62
  944. Instead of worrying about who broke lockdowns we should be paying attention to the several recent, and highly reputable, studies that conclude that lockdowns were completely ineffective. What's more important, people breaking pointless restrictions, or imposing restrictions that were absolutely useless but insanely damaging to the country?
    61
  945. Iain, this country has been seriously, and detrimentally, risk averse for decades. Going back 40 or 50 years, think of what schools and their teachers used to do with kids. When I joined climbing and caving clubs at university a fair number of fellow members had got their first taste by being taken away for the weekend by a teacher. The teacher would often just be a member of his local club and there was no requirement for leadership certification, police clearance for everyone who might come into contact with the kids, and filling in a 40 page risk assessment. And you know what? The benefits of doing things this way vastly outweighed the risk, or very very rare accident. Life is risk, and those who try to go through life without taking any risk never truly live at all!
    61
  946. The tank, and Orcs in it, were on a special mine clearing operation.🤣
    61
  947. There have been quite a few of these events, and they seem to be growing. So it's important not to stop support to Ukraine, and maybe even increase it.
    61
  948. Very glad, and relieved to see that Ukraine is so far continuing to fight this winter. Putin desperately needs a winter pause, so he mustn't get it.
    61
  949. So what exactly have the Orcs captured? A completely ruined city of no strategic value. The main reason for the Ukrainian forces being there appears to be to bleed them badly, and in this they appear to have been very successful, with around 30,000 Orcs either killed or badly injured. So, very much a Pyric Victory for the Orcs.
    61
  950. I'm sure all the Hamas supporters will tell us that they were using these tunnels to grow mushrooms.
    61
  951. The timing of this announcement makes it not remotely credible!
    61
  952. Why, in this day and age, do so many people believe superstitious nonsense, for which there is absolutely no evidence? There is no difference between burning a Harry Potter book, the Bible, or the Koran, except that most people would find reading the Harry Potter book much more entertaining.
    61
  953. Give it a few more years and we will see all the C of E bishops dressed like Frank-N-Furter and doing the Time Warp in Westminster Abbey for Christmas.
    61
  954. So despite the EU being more than a little skittish about vaccinating people it is pressing ahead with measures that will coerce them into being vaccinated. Dr. Mengele may be dead, but his spirit lives on in Brussels.
    61
  955. Persuading people to vote Tory is now a little like trying to persuade passengers to stay on the Titanic.
    61
  956. For the Ukrainians exchanged this is great, but I'm betting that most Russian POWs would much rather remain being held in Ukraine.
    61
  957. In the UK he would have just got a deradicalisation course.
    61
  958. No doubt criticizing Adolf Hitler was a crime in Nazi Germany.
    61
  959. Unlike so many of us, neither Sunak's father or grandfather fought against the Nazis!
    61
  960. Isn't it funny how probably at least 95% of us believe that there is two-tier policing, but we are all wrong, and Starmer and a few of his cronies are right.
    61
  961. Two of the best things Trump has done is ending DEI and defunding the WHO. Most people would like to see their governments do the same.
    61
  962. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    60
  963. If I had a young daughter in Ballymena then I too would be out on the streets. Is it unreasonable to expect that our women and girls should be able to walk our streets in safety and without fear?
    60
  964. What's wrong with setting up a few nissen huts on remote, cold, wet Scottish islands. Much cheaper AND a damn good deterrent!
    60
  965. Just how stupid or desperate do you have to be to work for this toxic couple?
    60
  966. Six tanks, and probably around 12 Orcs, wiped out. Excellent!
    60
  967. So much for the Gestapo lockdowns. Also, making people you desperately need isolate really isn't too bright.
    60
  968. A very interesting video. What is truly frightening however is the lengths this person had to go to to have his conviction quashed. I doubt most people would have had such strong resolve. Also, with things like this there is the fear of ruinous legal costs, so many without deep pockets would be dissuaded from seeking justice.
    60
  969. Wasn't it only yesterday that one of Putin's cronies was berating Israel over civilian deaths?
    60
  970. In that case NATO needs to be preparing Russia to have it go into Ukraine with overwhelming force and annihilate all its Orcs that are there, very quickly. I fact this should already have been done.
    60
  971. You know, as someone who has taught both boys and girls, I will never understand some people's preference for boys. By far my most enjoyable teaching experience was in an all-girls school.
    60
  972. With what's happened in Syria this is a really good time to pile the pressure on Putin.
    60
  973. I just hope there were plenty of Orcs in those vehicles.
    60
  974. By all means give Typhoons to Ukraine IF they have people capable of BOTH flying and maintaining them. But victory in Ukraine is now existential for Putin. There is zero chance of scaring him away. The ONLY endgame is one in which Russian losses convince those supporting him to "remove" him.
    60
  975. No prizes for guessing the ethnicity of those neighbourhoods!
    60
  976. Cut off the supply of Russian oil and gas to India, by whatever means necessary, and you will soon see an end to Modi's love affair with Putin.
    59
  977. Ich bin so froh zu hören, dass es immer noch stark brennt.
    59
  978. To those of us who are intelligent and educated, burning a Bible or a Koran is no different than burning a copy of Lord of the Rings or a Harry Potter book.
    59
  979. Is "economic flatlining" in the least surprising when one considers the following two facts: 1. Benefits are being paid to millions who aren't entitled to them. 2. A small fortune is being spent keeping illegal migrants vastly more comfortable than many hardworking people.
    59
  980. We should never allow religion to be used as an excuse for cruelty, whether to people or animals!
    59
  981. Putin holding an honest election is about as likely as a bunch of Ayatollahs staging a pork and beer festival with pole dancers.
    59
  982. Tell that to Putin!
    59
  983. My sister was a nurse and from what I've seen and heard it's amazing that anyone is prepared to do such a job. A lot develop bad skin conditions from constantly washing their hands, and moving the Billy Bunters and Ten Ton Tesses often does their back in. But the icing on the cake is the abuse that they often get from parasitic management. There are far easier ways to earn more money.
    59
  984. Reminds of the nursery rhyme about Georgie Porgie. He makes the girls cry but runs away from the boys.
    59
  985. I'm not claiming anything as a fact. However given that we are facing 3 to 4 times as many flu hospitalisations compared to what's been usual in the past then shouldn't we be wondering whether there might be a reason for this? Is there anything that might have done to people a few years ago that could possibly have affected their immune system adversely?
    59
  986. Am I the only one who, for a long time, has been asking myself whether the reason we have so many murders and attempted murders is because we are far too lenient with those who are caught?
    59
  987. Is this disfunction really at all surprising when so many seem willing to take orders from a deranged psychopath?
    59
  988. The ONLY thing Paula Vennells is very sorry about is that her wicked deeds have caught up with her. And that if there is any justice in this country then she is facing a substantial prison sentence. But I'm not holding my breath on this happening.
    59
  989. Would this, per chance, be the same health secretary who gave very misleading interviews during the covid-19 panic?
    59
  990. C'est magnifique n'est-ce pas? Si on peut faire ça, il est possible de détruire le pont que Putin adore!
    59
  991. With Putin currently suffering so much public humiliation, NOW is the time to push it to the next level by taking out his beloved Kerch bridge. Because it's just possible he wouldn't survive the extra embarrassment right now.
    59
  992. I trust the head of the Met Police will hand in his resignation if there is violence because of the marches he didn't ban. Of course Sunak, through the Home Office, has the power to ban these marches, and force our WOKE police to enforce the ban.
    59
  993. I'm sure Ukrainians will be very happy to return those rockets to Russia. Though they may be a bit used when Russia receives them.
    59
  994. Russian generals are really desperate, because they are under immense pressure to deliver significant results by 9th May. If they don't then Putin suffers severe and very public humiliation, which will greatly increase the chance of his "removal". Let's hope Ukraine can prevent any major advance in the next 3 days, or even puss the Russians back.
    59
  995. In case the penny still hasn't dropped, people are going to have to fight to get their freedom back. Give a tyrant an inch and they will take a mile. Until people make a stand this will go on and on and on.
    59
  996. After being cleared in a court case, and now knowing that Kaba was a member of one of London's most vicious gangs, what the IOPC is doing is nothing less than vindictive persecution of a brave, decent officer.
    58
  997. We need to get better and many more weapons to these brave men IMMEDIATELY!
    58
  998. Si Israël détruit la capacité nucléaire de l’Iran, alors presque le monde entier l’en remerciera, même si beaucoup ne l’expriment pas publiquement.
    58
  999. Such intimidation is usually against the law, but certain groups have a "get out of jail" card that never expires.
    58
  1000. The government needs to consider urgently addressing the concerns of MOST people over illegal and inappropriate immigration. Those far-left demos on Wednesday aren't representative of how most ordinary people feel.
    58
  1001. Palestine is not a nation, so flying this flag is no different to holding up placards supporting Hamas!
    58
  1002. The truth on the nuclear issue is that the incredibly scientifically illiterate British public react to nuclear power like a small child frightened that there's a bogey man under his bed. NEITHER party had the good sense and courage to ignore these dangerous and irrational fears.
    58
  1003. Well done those businesses! People have a right to choose who they do business with. You don't want the majority of your customers being made to feel uncomfortable because some crazy woman wants to wear oppressive clothing designed by cavemen. This is no different than the way some establishments ban jeans or insist on evening wear.
    58
  1004. Oh, look. Another pallid choirboy.
    58
  1005. A UK doctor's salary typically tops out at around £90,000, and a nurse's at far less. Nobody is going to tell me that these parasitic administrators are worth three times as much as doctors. Not only does our NHS have lots of patients with cancer to deal with, it has its own virulent cancer of overpaid and incompetent admin staff who often make life very difficult for our hard working doctors and nurses.
    58
  1006. 'Economically illiterate' But when it comes to producing a CV Rachel Reeves excels at creative writing.
    58
  1007. It's not racism to hate people who expect to sponge off those who work hard, instead of doing an honest day's work themselves. It's not racism to hate people who bring up maladjusted children because they constantly move them from school to school, or don't even send them to school. The world doesn't owe these people anything, because they only take from it and put nothing back!
    58
  1008. Having worked for the Home Office about 40 years ago, I can tell you exactly why her department wants her sacked. Most civil servants are intensely lazy, and she probably has the audacity to expect them to do a proper day's work, or even 5 per week, for the money us hard pushed taxpayers give them.
    58
  1009. Myocarditis is just one autoimmune condition, and it occurred relatively quickly. If mRNA being incorporated where it shouldn't be is indeed the cause then I'm expecting excess cases of Type I diabetes and early onset dementia in the decades to come.
    58
  1010. So those who made heat of the moment tweets were very quickly locked up for substantial terms. Yet an animal who broke a policewoman's nose is still free to walk the streets. Repeat after me: "this isn't two-tier policing".
    58
  1011. Just said the same thing.
    57
  1012. Those better weapons do seem to be making a difference. Only yesterday one of the Putin's major generals and 12 of his officers were killed with one. If we continue to supply Ukraine with the best weapons then they will continue to supply the soldiers needed to cleanse the country of Putin's Orcs.
    57
  1013. The ONLY thing you will get from Trump is tough talk. Just as in Ukraine this will be accompanied by ever extended deadlines and no action.
    57
  1014. This is exactly what Downing Street doesn't want. True covid-19 deaths would plummet. Even worse, they wouldn't be able to find a single Omicron death or hospitalisation. Whip yourself very vigorously while repeating "I will be afraid".
    57
  1015. Slugging it out with artillery is playing the WW I type of game that Russia is most comfortable with and wants Ukraine to play. Depleted uranium shells aren't going to turn this into a game where Ukraine has the advantage. Ukraine needs to play its own smarter game where it sets the rules. And it's incredibly important to remember that the Russian military is very sloth like in responding to new enemy tactics.
    57
  1016. What kind of judges, that let people like this walk the streets of our country, are us taxpayers now paying for?
    57
  1017. After the Irish PM describing Emily as "lost" he and any supporting him have themselves lost their mandate to govern Ireland!
    57
  1018. Hopefully there won't be a need to guard the bridge for much longer.
    57
  1019. The Orcs call it "sabotage". The rest of us call it Ukraine giving them a damn good arse kicking.
    57
  1020. The only deal you do with the devil is the one where he gets your soul!
    57
  1021. Imagine being too stupid to not call Ukraine's "I want to live" hotline, and surrender.
    57
  1022. And tunnels that are always under civilians.
    57
  1023. Has the law changed in the last 40 to 50 years. I wasn't allowed join the MoD because my father was Polish. That's despite the fact that he fought with the British and had been naturalized for years. Yet they let this into GCHQ!
    57
  1024. Cluster munitions are a great form of Orc eradication. It's good to see them being used.
    57
  1025. At the start of WW II by father was caught crossing into Russian occupied Poland, from German occupied Poland, and sent to a Russian labour camp. There he saw a lot of fellow prisoners die. My mother told me that many years later he still used to wake up screaming from nightmares about this. We should also never forget the cold-blooded murder of 22,000 Polish offices at Katyn: and there were other such incidents. More than 70 years on the Russians are still the same rabid animals.
    56
  1026. Instead of the Three Wise Men we will have the Three Adults With Learning Difficulties.
    56
  1027. Piotr Glinski is bang on the money. We need to look at what migration of the wrong sort of people has done to Sweden. Today, in the UK, three Jewish schools have had to close because we have already let in far too many of the wrong sort of people!
    56
  1028. I voted remain, but I certainly don't blame Brexit for our economic woes. The main cause of these, by far, were the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. And for what? A relatively innocuous virus that killed well under 1% of the population, and where the vast majority of even these deaths were in very old and/or very sick people, many of whom would have died soon anyway.
    56
  1029. This is just another example of how totally out of touch Sunak is with public sentiment. If he had his finger on the pulse of public feeling he would have stopped the small boats a long time ago, instead of making promises he never intended to keep.
    56
  1030. There are people in the UK in very real and desperate need. What right has some pampered politician to decide that the British taxpayers' money should be spent overseas, rather than on the needs of UK citizens?
    56
  1031. Actually there are two important questions: 1. Should we ever have had these insanely damaging lockdowns? 2. Should most people have been vaccinated when this virus only posed a serious threat to a fraction of 1%, and those who had had it gained excellent natural immunity? Don't hold your breath waiting for this so-called inquiry to ask these questions.
    56
  1032. I'd rather my taxes went to helping brave Ukrainians fight for their country and freedom than see it squandered on illegal migrants!
    56
  1033. "Retired senior nurse Rebecca Butler" Could her support have anything to do with her now being a selfish old biddy, and therefore being desperate to reduce a "perceived" risk to herself.
    56
  1034. I'm old enough to remember when kids getting murdered was very rare news.
    56
  1035. Like uninsured and untaxed cars on the road, this is one of the EASIEST problems to stamp out. But the government and our useless police force simply don't have the will to do so.
    56
  1036. Most of us recognised that Putin was crazy 3 years ago!
    56
  1037. These "children" will receive shorter sentences than many who made a naughty tweet, in the heat of the moment, that they didn't really mean.
    56
  1038. Zelensky is correct. Every day that the offensive is delayed gives the Orcs more time to regroup and resupply. They are not currently in the best of shape, so the last thing Ukraine wants to do is give them time to catch their breath.
    56
  1039. I love it when I see moving vehicles being hit, because you then know that bad Orcs have been turned into good Orcs.
    56
  1040. I know Prigozhin was thick, but it's amazing that he really was stupid enough to think Putin would let him live, and made the hit even easier by returning to Russia.
    56
  1041. "If not now when?" Sadly there are now millions of craven snowflakes in this country who would dearly love to see us all wearing masks and (un)socially distancing forever, and who would be extremely happy to see the hospitality industry collapse and never recover, and the UK keep its borders closed permanently.
    56
  1042. Well it won't be the Tories, Labour, or the Lib Dems. We need a new alternative party, made up of politicians with integrity and intelligence. Yes, I know. Those two "I"s are a very tough ask.
    56
  1043. But talk is all Sunak will do, because it's cheap. One thing he won't talk about however is whether he uses a private doctor.
    56
  1044. Why are we allowing them to stay in this country?
    55
  1045. They are cheering like the crowds that once cheered Adolf Hitler in Nuremburg.
    55
  1046. Thanks BBB for telling people about there being no need to provide proof or wear a card. Only yesterday I had to lay down the law for a stupid woman in Barclays Bank, Enfield Town, who was telling people they had to show her something.
    55
  1047. He should also have had his car confiscated and been banned from driving for 5 years.
    55
  1048. Well, despite imposing them on others, it seems that the government knew all along that the rules made no sense, which is why they ignored them.
    55
  1049. No, attacking civilians and hospitals deliberately is solely Russia's hallmark. Ukrainian forces are more than satisfied with killing Orcs on the battlefield.
    55
  1050. If Liam had been grateful for the blessings heaped upon him, and not abused drink and drugs, he could have had a truly wonderful life and still be alive.
    55
  1051. A good percentage of would be Labour voters are going to vote Labour solely because they hate and fear the Tories more than they hate and fear Labour. So with the Conservatives and Reform UK running neck to neck in the polls a far more sensible option would be to vote for Reform UK.
    55
  1052. EVERYONE who isn't a government stooge wants to see this report published IN FULL immediately!
    55
  1053. Am I the only one to realise that now would be the best possible time for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom. There are also a good few other regions that want to give Putin the middle finger. As soon as one region has the guts to do so all the others would likely follow in very short order. And surely the majority of people in Belarus now realise that Putin is no longer able to supply troops to keep their Fat Dictator in power.
    55
  1054. And the big surprise is that the perpetrator was an illegal migrant from Afghanistan.
    55
  1055. When this story first broke I thought it was a case of just a dress or two, but £76,000 is more than most sensible people will spend on clothes in their entire life. Also £4000 for a heating bill is more than most people's energy bill for the entire year. "Four legs good, two legs better" methinks!
    55
  1056. Apart from the quivering snowflakes the British public is beginning to growl like an angry Rottweiler that has been denied its long awaited succulent steak. So a fearful government is going to throw it a few meagre bones in the hope of pacifying it.
    55
  1057. Isn't it funny how the quality of the video is so high right up to watching the missile soar into the sky. Then it's almost impossible to make out what the target is. This happens in ALL Russian videos. Makes one wonder if they cut and paste something random onto the end of each one.
    55
  1058. Excellent! It's about time those in Russia got a small taste of what Ukrainians have been suffering with.
    55
  1059. Judging by the relatively little damage done, one suspects that these drones were very small and launched close to or even within Moscow. There's a good chance that they were launched by Russian and maybe even Putin's own FSB in order to bolster his support.
    55
  1060. What I really loved was her comment "I lied, but I didn't do anything wrong". This tells you everything you need to know about this woman's character: or lack thereof.
    55
  1061. NOT taking covid vaccines was one of the best decisions I ever made.
    55
  1062. Despite his murderous attacks on Ukrainian civilians, Putin IS becoming weaker every day. Sooner or later some of those regions that so badly want out of the Russian Federation are going to make their move, and those with ambitions to replace Putin, and keep the Federation together, know this.
    55
  1063. The discrimination against those with natural immunity has absolutely no scientific basis. Our supreme court needs to outlaw it. That very recent, massive, and reliable study from Israel (also relevant to Delta) has shown: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting: maybe a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating those with natural immunity. There is no valid reason to discriminate against those who can provide certification that they have antibodies, or memory B or T cells, for those who had covid-19 some time ago. Doing this is simply the act of a bully boy who gets his kicks imposing his will on others.
    55
  1064. “Putin’s got a sort of carte blanche to do whatever he wants in the next 50 days.” Not just the next 50 days. Experience, time and time again, has taught Putin that he will subsequently get a new deadline. I'm torn between TACO and DUK (Deadline Ultimatum King).
    55
  1065. Few things demonstrate the incredible stupidity of this government better than HS2. What kind of fool doesn't understand how insane it would be to terminate a high speed line miles from central London? The wasted time, and the hassle, of travelling to or from the outskirts of London would completely nullify the benefits of the high speed link. But government stupidity is so much worse when you consider the vast amount of expense, and work, that has already gone into taking the link all the way to Euston.
    55
  1066. I trust we will do exactly the same to Russian diplomats in this country.
    55
  1067. If this is indeed true then, it follows logically that China should support Ukraine's right, like any other sovereign state, not to be attacked by its neighbour. So why is Emperor Xi supporting Putin?
    55
  1068. It's nothing to do with "appetite". Hamas have themselves said that they intend to repeat the same kind of atrocity again and again. A ceasefire would greatly aid them in such endeavors. Israel's government and military have a duty, to their civilians, to make sure that Hamas can never do this again!
    55
  1069. S’ils avaient été de bons garçons respectueux des lois, ils seraient encore en vie.
    55
  1070. At £2 a pint there's a danger of being swamped by Labour freeloaders.
    55
  1071. A grudging and very partial truth. Omicron posed a really tiny risk to virtually EVERYBODY!
    55
  1072. Why is it that 40 or 50 years ago we could park our bicycles and motorcycles with little fear of them being stolen? Things happen for a reason, and the only one that comes to mind is that the police and courts aren't doing the job that we pay them to do!
    55
  1073. Our cat used to like me and my mother more than my dad. I can still remember his polish accent as he jokingly said: "you little bastard, it's me that feeds you".
    55
  1074. Is it really that the epidemics have all come at once? There now appears to be a fair amount of reputable research suggesting that these mRNA vaccines have weakened the immune system of an awful lot of people, which might be the real reason that we are seeing so many flu and bad cold cases. I'm so glad I'm a pure blood.
    55
  1075. Poor little girl. My parents wouldn't have dreamed of going out to dinner and leaving me or my siblings alone. They would have sooner gone hungry.
    55
  1076. The mass graves remind me of EXACTLY what the Russians did to hundreds of Polish officers. It seems that 70 years hasn't changed them.
    55
  1077. The only thing we shouldn't underestimate is Russia's ability to commit atrocities and war crimes!
    55
  1078. The best way to discourage such dangerous crossings is to return all those picked up to the AFRICAN coast that they set off from.
    54
  1079. It seems to me that the only thing (at least in secondary schools) that teachers aren't expected to be any good at is teaching their subject.
    54
  1080. Sunak and his Conservatives are like someone watching you drown, but refusing to throw you the nearby lifebuoy. But Starmer and his Labour party are like someone who pushes your head under the water.
    54
  1081. "Russian grain" Translation: stolen Ukrainian grain.
    54
  1082. I saw an even better video early this morning, with lots of both vehicles and Orcs well and truly toasted. It looks like the turkey shoot season is nicely under way and going really well.
    54
  1083. Is it really that hard for both Russia and NATO to affirm that Ukraine is an independent country, and BOTH agree to keep their noses out of it, other than for trade (but not in weapons)?
    54
  1084. If people have the intelligence and courage to vote for who they actually want, rather than sticking with voting for which party, out of Conservative or Labour, that they hate and fear the least, then Reform UK could have a "sizeable majority".
    54
  1085. Better dark nights than the darkness being ruled by Putin would bring.
    54
  1086. Alternatively Wokeland would be shorter and easier to pronounce.
    54
  1087. Why the hell aren't we making any use of our Royal Navy? Are they not there to defend our shores?
    54
  1088. Just talked to my sister and I previously got the details of her treatment costs wrong in favour of the bad guys. A few months ago she went for a CT scan, and a endoscopic exam down her throat. Altogether this cost her slightly over £3000. But the worst part of this is that the medical staff saw only about one quarter of this money. Is it any wonder then that Luigi's use of the word PARASITES resonates with so many people?
    54
  1089. We NEED to get rid of the isolation rules! For most people catching EXTREMELY MILD Omicron is a non-event, because they don't even notice that they have it. For the rest it's no worse than a MILD cold. It would be vastly better for society if these people, especially doctors, nurses and teachers, were at work helping lots of people, instead of malingering at home.
    54
  1090. You would think that rather than waiting for their heads to roll these people would take out Putin first.
    54
  1091. At a vastly over populated 8 billion in the world, China's falling birth rate is something it can be immensely proud of, and shouldn't be trying to change. In fact, Africa and India need to learn from China's fine example. Notice also that, contrary to all the scaremongering, covid-19 hasn't even made the smallest of dents in the population rise!
    54
  1092. Yes let's waste our taxes because Musk has hurt the feelings of Starmer and his police chief cronies.
    54
  1093. No decent person is upset about seeing thugs jailed. But the courts need to think really carefully about what online posts they are jailing people for.
    54
  1094. You know that a country is sick to the very core when a daughter is taken away from her father like this. If I was taken to a children's home in such circumstances I would very likely have burnt it to the ground.
    54
  1095. There's a very sad part to this story. The Orc piloting the plane managed to parachute out.
    54
  1096. Now you know what a fate worse than death means.
    54
  1097. In case people haven't noticed, the Russian MoD people aren't too bright. One of their most entertaining videos showed shells being launched from a wood in winter and landing in a field in summer.
    54
  1098. Keep going for the bridge supports. They are much harder to protect, and destroying just one might well put the Kerch bridge permanently out of commission. Of course, several next to each other would be even better.
    53
  1099. If Ofcom wasn't completely corrupt they would now be dealing very severely with Channel 4.
    53
  1100. If the government doesn't have the sense and decency to ban the pro-Hamas (lets call a spade a spade) demos on Armistice Day then there DEFINITELY WILL BE BLOOD.
    53
  1101. There are a lot in the Labour party, including Lammy, who would dearly love to send those arms to Hamas: and do it for free, at our expense!
    53
  1102. The big surprise would be if Moscow wasn't meddling!
    53
  1103. Absolutely true. Isn't it strange how the mantra of extremely contagious, and exponential growth, gets repeated over and over again. Yet barely a mention of how EXTREMELY MILD this variant is. And when this does come up it's invariably to say it's too early to accept well over a month's evidence from South Africa that supports this. This is cherry picking of the very worst sort. All the nice juicy cherries are being ignored as the basket is deliberately filled with the relatively few rotting ones.
    53
  1104. I just hope the missile was cheaper than the drone. It's much nicer when they take out something with live Orcs in it.
    53
  1105. Glad to hear that Ukrainian heroes are still pushing the Orcs back.
    53
  1106. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of Moscow's power stations, water and transport infrastructure also went up in flames.
    53
  1107. The trouble is that if you just have a pack of jokers, shuffling the pack doesn't change the cards. And in this case we also have a joker doing the shuffling
    53
  1108. If we could see Putin in private these days the scenes would me much like those in that film of Hitler's last days in his Berlin bunker.
    53
  1109. Government, and other public service organisations in the UK, do seem to have an unrivalled talent for squandering the taxpayers' money.
    53
  1110. I do so love seeing Orcs get roasted, and never tire of watching these videos. Keep up the great work.
    53
  1111. I so love seeing Russian jets and helicopters shot down. Lots of really expensive kit destroyed and Orcs that take a lot of training roasted.
    53
  1112. "Injuries to the lower extremities" - remote removal of the pillar and stones?
    53
  1113. MOST people in the UK would have much preferred to see foreign prisoners deported. MOST people would rather see these criminals remain in prison than the jailing of those who made heat of the moment tweets that they didn't really mean. But TTK doesn't care about what those who were stupid enough to elect him want.
    53
  1114. My deepest condolences to the building.
    53
  1115. I'd rather find a good Voodoo witch doctor than be treated by this GP!
    53
  1116. I don't know if it is indicative of any serious medical condition, we can only hope, but it does seem very clear, from this and previous videos, that Putin finds it next to impossible, and very distressing, to stand still.
    53
  1117. The trouble is that Worm Tongue will change his narrative in the blink of an eye, if it suits him.
    53
  1118. Well, this is what happens when, instead of siding with the people, you support a despot. Sooner or later that despot will turn on you and your family.
    53
  1119. You frightened people really make me laugh. The risk posed by covid-19 to those under 30 is negligible, but if you want something to REALLY worry about try this: The Pfizer vaccine (a mRNA vaccine) is now known to cause heart inflammation in some instances. Those of us with some understanding of how these things work think that some of the mRNA is circulating in the blood stream and getting incorporated into heart muscle. This muscle then produces the viral antigen, is attacked by the immune system, and hence the inflammation. Now, here's the good bit. Many of us are speculating that maybe some of this mRNA might cross the blood-brain barrier and get incorporated into brain tissues. So, a few years down the line, could we be looking at lots of dementia cases among young people? Of course this is speculation, and Matt Hancock will give you his assurance that this won't happen, so don't take any notice of people like me.
    52
  1120. It's more important than ever that our woke police deal extremely harshly with anyone trying to disrupt Remembrance Sunday!
    52
  1121. This is great news for the world. Even better news would be if the same thing was happening in Africa and India.
    52
  1122. Well, that instructor has now either fallen out of a window or is on his way to Siberia.
    52
  1123. All decent people look forward to hearing about the damage Ukraine will inflict on the Orcs when it gets the fighter jets it needs.
    52
  1124. Well, telling people there's no two-tier policing, when almost everyone has seen it repeatedly, isn't very bright. My favourite example is the fast-tracking of several rioters into our very overcrowded jails while the animal who broke a policewoman's nose, well before the riots, doesn't even appear to have been charged.
    52
  1125. Perhaps Shapps will pay these companies damages and legal fees, when they get sued for unfair dismissal. "we're not going to make that legislation" shows that it is ILLEGAL!
    52
  1126. It's the poor bloody patients that have lost patience. Sick of waiting for weeks for an appointment, and of having to run the gauntlet of minimally educated receptionists to even get one.
    52
  1127. I don't think that either the Russian people or most in the West realise just how hard pressed Putin is. To a very large extent he is reliant on having a much larger army, and hoping that Ukraine runs out of soldiers first. Fortunately, his rate of attrition has been around 5 times higher. In the current situation, Europe putting boots on the ground would very likely break Putin.
    52
  1128. "We locked up the university students, instead of the vulnerable" That got a laugh out of me. Watching the clowns in Downing Street mishandle this pandemic is much like watching Fawlty Towers. However instead of "don't mention the war", it's "don't mention the Great Barrington Declaration". I think that the brightest among us are in no doubt whatsoever that the strategy recommended by the GBD should have been adopted from the very start. However it's certain that this will never be admitted, and the sheep in this country also don't want to admit that they have been well and truly fleeced. Even with the vaccinations, nobody wants to admit that there is a really good possibility that natural immunity might well be a vastly better alternative. These vaccines only present one antigen to the immune system, whereas those who catch and recover from covid-19 have had the whole virus exposed to the immune system. So they are primed to recognise far more viral antigens. Their immunity may last much longer, and it may be far better at recognising variants and future viruses that are similar. Considering this possibility I think that vaccinating healthy people under 40 is down right criminal.
    52
  1129. That's half a million people who were stupid enough to download the NHS app in the first place, and still too stupid to delete it!
    52
  1130. Sunak should have spoken up and stood with all those backbenchers opposing lockdowns. But he didn't because he is totally self-serving, which is why he must never become PM.
    52
  1131. They should never have been introduced in the first place!
    52
  1132. After Biden's visit, incontinent Putin will be getting through more nappies than usual.
    52
  1133. As I keep saying, many Ukrainians could easily pass as Russian. So I can't understand why some special ops teams haven't been sent to seriously damage Moscow's infrastructure. Knowing that you will get the same treatment is the best deterrent. Let's also not forget that Russia has 1000s of miles of oil and gas pipelines. You can't defend the whole length, and blowing a good hole anywhere in it would probably be fine.
    52
  1134. Another day, another column of Russian tanks creamed. Always good to watch.
    52
  1135. I've seen crocodiles shed more sincere tears. She's crying at the prospect of going to jail for her wickedness that has finally been revealed to everybody.
    52
  1136. Russia doesn't need an excuse, it has ALWAYS been like this. My father was caught crossing from German to Russian occupied Poland and sent to a labour camp, where he saw many of those around him die. My mother told me that even many years later he still used to wake up screaming from nightmares about this. We should also NEVER forget the 22,000 Polish officers cold-bloodedly murdered in Katyn: and there were other such incidents. This is the true and unchanging face of Russia!
    52
  1137. Little over 80 years ago a very similar psychopath was appeased. Let's hope the same mistake isn't repeated.
    51
  1138. Of all the Eastern European countries, Hungary should remember how Russia rolled its tanks in against it in 1956. Hungary then appealed for help, which due to fear of starting a nuclear war was not forthcoming. With this experience one would have thought that Hungary would have more empathy for Ukraine's plight. Of course, if Ukraine falls then mad dog Putin will eventually be eying up Hungary too!
    51
  1139. You may not be able to choose your family, but you can disown them. King Charles did the right thing. Who would want a son like Harry?
    51
  1140. This is one of the most tragic aspects of war that most people give very little thought to. In war films people either get a clean death or make a complete recovery. The fiction very seldom focuses on the life-changing injuries that so many receive.
    51
  1141. Keep them well away from the mainland on a remote island, with no hope of ever setting foot on the mainland. This is one of Australia's best policies that it should not abandon. Us Brits dearly wish our government had the balls to implement a similar policy!
    51
  1142. Anyone who eats a sandwich or fresh salad nearly 2 weeks after its sell-by date is working hard to win a Darwin award.
    51
  1143. I'd love to have seen Putin when he first received the news. I'll bet he would have outdone the worst tantrum any toddler has ever thrown.
    51
  1144. If the Muslims don't like it they can go to another school!
    51
  1145. The lack of detail about those living in the house speaks volumes!
    51
  1146. The amazing thing is how social services often stick their noses in where they aren't needed, but time and again allow babies and toddlers to be tortured to death, by not intervening where they should.
    51
  1147. No! This crisis is down to Britain being regarded as the softest touch in the world. Why else would these people not want to stay in any of the countries they have to pass through to get to the UK?
    51
  1148. You have to be the most craven of cowards to hide behind defenseless civilians.
    51
  1149. This is precisely why so many of us were concerned about Trump becoming president. One can almost imagine him telling a little kid who has been beaten up by a bully that it was his fault for not handing over his dinner money immediately.
    51
  1150. It's very sad, but at least a very large number of Orcs have died doing this.
    51
  1151. Am I the only one waiting for the UN to condemn attacks on Kurdish civilians, and to see protest marches calling for an independent Kurdish state?
    51
  1152. Nicely argued Dr. Quay. Unfortunately the vast majority of people are far too stupid to understand what you are saying.
    51
  1153. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, With new variants in the air, If the snowflakes get really frightened once more, There'll be lockdowns everywhere. And don't forget folks how people like me promised you that governments would pull a new bad-ass variant out of their Christmas stocking.
    51
  1154. It's always very heartening to see the battle taken to inside Russia. If only infrastructure in Moscow could be taken out.
    50
  1155. Try entering the USA or Australia illegally and see if they put you up in a 4 star hotel. The only appalling thing is how soft and indulgent the UK is on illegal immigrants.
    50
  1156. Let's hope these can be deployed very soon, as the last thing we want is to give the Orcs the opportunity to dig in and protect themselves against the winter. Winter usually kills lots of vermin, and hopefully it will do the same in Ukraine.
    50
  1157. Let's see. Between 500 and 600 Orcs were using the school as a den. The ammo being stored there exploded and flattened the whole building almost instantly. To me this sounds like Ukraine's estimate of 400 dead might be a bit conservative.
    50
  1158. Just remember those three little words: "I am exempt". You don't have to explain why to enforcement goons.
    50
  1159. Imagine how much panic there will be if Ukraine can repeat this in the next few days.
    50
  1160. Merry Christmas, Orcs.
    50
  1161. Depending on Russia for anything is a mistake.
    50
  1162. The cost of the Cold War arms race was a major factor in the demise of the Soviet Union. Contrary to what Putin and his fanboys desperately want the West to believe, Russia absolutely cannot sustain the cost of this war as long as we maintain our support of Ukraine.
    50
  1163. What about depriving his poor daughter of a proper name?
    50
  1164. If these two Gestapo officers had treated Muslims in the same way you can be certain that the Home Office would have sacked them instantly!
    50
  1165. Better the owner than some innocent passer-by.
    50
  1166. Those teachers need a visit from the Proud Boys!
    50
  1167.  @kazak-pl3hx9tz6u  Aw. I think I upset a Putin fanboy.
    50
  1168. Meanwhile many pensioners, who worked hard and paid taxes all their lives, are freezing and going hungry.
    50
  1169. A choice between Dumb and Dumber. The hard part is deciding which is which.
    50
  1170. Never a truer word! This is precisely why illegals should be immediately shipped to nissen huts on remote Scottish islands. The weather would stop them paddling away, and also massively discourage others form coming to the UK in the first place. Much cheaper than 4 star hotels.
    50
  1171. But nowhere near enough yet.
    50
  1172. It most certainly is outrageous. If we allow this we might as well make men and women compete together.
    50
  1173. But the police don't want to offend those of a certain religious belief, or certain ethnicities, so there are differ rules for them. Suella Braverman spoke TRUTHS that some didn't want articulated. That's why she was sacked.
    49
  1174. Whenever I hear the word "elitists" used in regard to Labour I struggle not to laugh. Without the slightest doubt we now have by far the thickest cabinet in British History. Just look at the deputy PM: someone who left school at 16 without even the most basic qualification.
    49
  1175. True, but as we all know, in England everybody supports the government and there have been no protests. Or so the BBC and most UK mainstream media would have you believe.
    49
  1176. If enough people manned up, told politicians where to stick their lockdowns, and just ignored them, then all this insanity would be over tomorrow.
    49
  1177. The great thing about hitting a moving tank is that you know that you have also roasted 2 or 3 Orcs.
    49
  1178. I have just ordered a Swedish flag from Amazon, which I am going to fly outside my house. Instead of "clap for the NHS" I strongly urge everybody to do the same. It's time to publicly acknowledge that Sweden was one of the very few countries that got it right, and that the UK needs to man up and follow the Swede's example.
    49
  1179. I don't class Hamas as human beings. But I wouldn't call them animals either, because even animals don't behave like them.
    49
  1180. Which country's citizens would support this? None, I suspect. Politicians are elected to carry out the will of the people, not sell out their self determination!
    49
  1181. What about the fact there there is "very little information" on the long term effects of mRNA vaccines? Yet I don't hear the WHO warning against vaccinating people who are at very small risk from covid-19.
    49
  1182. Whatever else people might think about the state of play in Ukraine, Russia's military capability is definitely being significantly degraded. This in itself would be a good enough reason to continue supporting Ukraine, or even increasing that support.
    49
  1183. The warning at the start is so true. It's incredibly distressing to see some Orcs escaping.
    49
  1184. Prigozhin made the Russian military leadership look even more incompetent than everyone thought they were, if that's even possible. Unless he has learnt how to fly, or is immune to polonium flavoured tea he is now safest on the battlefield, and probably won't last long if he leaves it. Of course, it's highly likely one of his soldiers will be paid, or otherwise persuaded, to accidently fire a gun in the wrong direction.
    49
  1185. How insane, or evil, do you have to be to expect Israel to try to coexist with beasts who can do things like this?
    49
  1186. So looking forward to a lot more of this when the Ukrainian offensive gets under way.
    49
  1187. Never mind history, Drakeford's degree, from a second rate university, is in Latin! Why is it that there's such an incredible shortage of politicians with a maths, science or engineering degree?
    49
  1188. So, if I go round waving a toy light sabre for 2 years and saying "the force be with you" can I become a Jedi Knight? It makes about as much sense.
    49
  1189. ONLY those immigrants who contribute to British society and accept its values and customs!
    49
  1190. We need to get more state of the art anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainians, and fast!
    49
  1191. This is now so common that it no longer feels like news.
    49
  1192. This is like having an operation to remove a virulent tumor, but not taking all of it out!
    49
  1193. Actually Boris has simply got it less wrong. Omicron has indeed turned out to be, as the South African doctors said, EXTREMELY MILD. Boris's pandering to the cowardly snowflakes has definitely cost a lot more businesses and jobs. The totally unnecessary restrictions he imposed need to be dropped immediately, before they do even more damage.
    49
  1194. The government is like an expert medieval torturer. Let the victims pain and suffering settle down just enough to give them a glimmer of hope. Then it's another red hot poker up the arse.
    49
  1195. For decades Israel has tried to live with Hamas, and what has been the result? Decades of atrocities perpetrated against its civilians. Israel has exercised incredible patience and restraint, but now has to accept that Hamas cannot be allowed to exist.
    49
  1196. With the extremely low risk that covid-19 poses to almost all young people, and the fact that once recovered they will have excellent natural immunity, vaccinating them flies in the face of medical ethics. However bribery is preferable to coercion. At least there is a choice about whether one accepts a bribe, whereas stopping someone going to college or work, or having a social life, is really no different than holding them down and injecting them by force.
    49
  1197. People in glass houses Starmer! Let's not forget that for two years, in the face of a lot of opposition from backbench Tories, YOU staunchly supported restrictions that crucified the very poorest people that you are meant to protect. Boris is indeed a disgrace, but you are no better.
    49
  1198. We need to put most of the Home Office on barges, and sink them!
    49
  1199. Don't discount the possibility that with no prospect of of further arms from Iran, and some seriously debilitating attacks from Ukraine, that Putin may be more desperate than ever to intimidate Ukraine into a "peace" on his terms.
    49
  1200. I guess the best thing about using videos that never show you actually hitting anything is that you can use them again and again.
    49
  1201. Ever since I've been a little boy I've always detested drag acts, so it's good to hear this. As far as I'm concerned the only place for drag acts is rugby teams on a charity pup crawl.
    49
  1202. Not jabbed, and very proud to admit it.
    48
  1203. A couple of weeks ago I was in Lidl and some masked woman, in her 40s or 50s started edging away, because she was terrified of catching Omicron. On being told not to be such a snowflake she started swearing very strongly. It was really rather funny. There was me behind her, without a mask, the customer in front was also sans mask, as was the cashier. She probably wet her knickers.
    48
  1204. I'm a UK qualified teacher who can teach A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry really well. I could even teach both French and German GCSE reasonably. However you won't find me in any school because the overpaid pen pushers in them only want dirt cheap newly qualified, or trainee, teachers who are also easy to slave drive and bully. And I'm certainly not unique. In so many area's the only real shortage is of dirt cheap people who can be mercilessly exploited.
    48
  1205. It could be losing a hell of a lot more if some of its thousands of miles of undefended oil and gas pipelines were blown up.
    48
  1206. So true. Amazon delivers a lot faster!
    48
  1207. What a contrast! Zelensky accompanying his troops who want to fight. Then we have mad dog Putin sending teenagers, who don't want to fight, to their deaths, while he cowers in the Kremlin.
    48
  1208. That big yellow patch at the top indicates that Ukrainian forces are now well placed to destroy supply lines from Belgorod. If they could also take out the Kerch Bridge in Crimea then Putin will likely have a stroke.
    48
  1209. If the story, a week or two ago, about him falling down some stairs and soiling himself is true then maybe he doesn't want to create a stink, so to speak, on TV.
    48
  1210. Now that's what I call really desperate. Parkinson's Putin is putting on a bit of a show now because he knows that the 9th May spectacular parade he promised is going to get very heavily rained on. He probably wants people to see those tanks now before he has to send them to the front line.
    48
  1211. They should be calling for Hamas to stop using civilians as human shields!
    48
  1212. There are three things this government really needs to get a grip on: 1. The several million people who are quite capable of working but CHOOSE to claim benefits instead. 2. The exorbitant amount currently being spent on each illegal migrant. A report a couple of days ago put it at £45,000 per illegal per year. 3. The fact that there are about 3 times as many NHS managerial and admin staff than are needed to do the job. It's no good pouring money in if most of it is going to be wasted. If these things aren't fixed then, yes, we can expect more tax rises.
    48
  1213. We have truly awful cases of girls as young as 12 being systematically raped and abused. Am I the only one who thinks that anyone trying to cover this up, and protect the vile perpetrators, should themselves face criminal prosecution?
    48
  1214. When you are sitting on one of the world's richest Uranium deposits, and have a very tectonically stable continent on which to safely build your reactors, you have to be a complete drongo not to take full advantage of this.
    48
  1215. There is a massive difference between not persecuting others for their unnatural inclinations, and allowing them to indoctrinate children and toddlers. The latter is completely unacceptable!
    48
  1216. Overdue perhaps, but the timing, just after destroying 40 bombers, is very opportune. The Russians will wonder what else was planned months ago and is now waiting in the wings.
    48
  1217. Not "irregularly", ILLEGALLY!
    48
  1218. What people really need to know is that there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to indicate that this variant is any more infectious, deadly, or will circumvent immunity. If the Indian variant wasn't there we can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that another one would be taking it's place. Those of us with brains are fairly certain that a desperate Indian government latched on to this excuse in an attempt to deflect the intense anger that is being directed against it. The Indian variant is nothing more than a scapegoat to get them off the hook. Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat, and he must not be allowed to use this variant (or any other) as an excuse to yet again renege on his promises.
    48
  1219. So, let me see. At 9.4 million (that's 25% of those of working age) claiming they are unfit to work, that means there are MILLIONS of cases of benefit fraud. Eliminating this would bring in hundreds of times more money than taking the heating allowance away from pensioners.
    48
  1220. Another wonderful production by Russian MoD Film Studios. Admire the spotless uniforms and vehicles, and applaud the fact that no animals or people were hurt in the making of this video.
    48
  1221. Why is YouTube removing comments that condemn Hamas for these appalling acts?
    48
  1222. Then we want to increase Western support enough to push Putin right out of Ukraine, including Crimea, so that he loses the war!
    48
  1223. Ah, the sweet smell of roasting Orc.
    48
  1224. This is how people in Austria and the Sudetenland felt about Chamberlain's 1938 Munich deal.
    47
  1225. Sadly, we can expect more and more of this as Putin becomes increasingly desperate with every passing day. Not only is he being pushed back in Ukraine, he is also now facing resistance within Russia, as the execution of 11 of his volunteers clearly demonstrates.
    47
  1226. Sending these troops to Ukraine might upset Xi, but I doubt that he, Putin, or Kim Jung Un will lose a second's sleep about their deaths.
    47
  1227. Quite the opposite. Russia knowing that a first strike won't pay off is LESS likely to be tempted.
    47
  1228. As long as these families receive absolutely no handouts from the taxpayer that would be OK. Unfortunately, the way our money is squandered keeping illegals in 4 star hotels suggests that we would have to pay for them too.
    47
  1229. Don't hold your breath waiting for Trump to do this.
    47
  1230. When you look at the old Soviet methods you understand why so many people refer to Russian soldiers as Orcs. The way they act, in every sense, is just like something out of a Hobbit or LOTR film. And it's just as important that their evil leader doesn't win.
    47
  1231. We should never forget that Putin was just a third rate desk jockey when he was in the KGB.
    47
  1232. I was hoping to see a hit on the building that we saw the cockroaches running into at the start.
    47
  1233. This bridge really does need to be permanently put out of action. Because of its high profile links to Putin it would be extremely damaging for him.
    47
  1234. It's like a bottom division football club expecting to win the cup by changing its manager.
    47
  1235. Maybe Trump has finally heard about Chamberlain's infamous "peace in our time" and doesn't want to also go down in history as a complete schmuck. After Syria Trump might now be considering how great it would be to be remembered as the guy who played a major role in ending the maniac's reign of terror.
    47
  1236. It's actually very simple. China does a staggering amount of business with the West. It certainly doesn't want to lose that just to help Putin stay in power.
    47
  1237. Every time I hear "the British public are not stupid" I have a good laugh. If they weren't then neither the Tories nor Labour would have received many votes.
    47
  1238. Advanced air defense systems are good, but also providing missiles that can take out the sites launching these attacks, no matter how far inside Russia they are, is now essential.
    47
  1239. Rather than a life sentence, just send in a few special ops teams to take out those running the gangs. Far cheaper and more effective.
    47
  1240. Looking at the state of Russia's economy and its immense losses, it seems that the courage and sacrifices made by Ukrainians might finally be paying off. Then along comes Trump and throws Putin a desperately needed lifeline. Europe needs to get fully behind Ukraine, double down on its support, and tell Trump where he can shove his sell-out!
    47
  1241. Those who bore false witness should now be prosecuted for wasting police time. You can bet that if it had been a Muslim preacher that they had lied about that they would now find themselves in the dock.
    47
  1242. Viktor Orban is very lucky that someone like me isn't running the CIA or MI6!
    47
  1243. Weren't other recently prosecuted for targeting MPs' home and offices?
    47
  1244. NO politician should ever be knighted!
    47
  1245. If Putin sets foot in a country that does recognise the ICC he will quickly discover just how valid the warrant for him is.
    47
  1246. According to some reports that airbase was "hit" really hard. One would also imagine that in some degree Russian air defences are geared to expect attacks from across the border. So drone attacks from about 10 miles inside Russia might, for a little while, prove much more devastating. And the cherry on the cake is the serious humiliation it's causing Putin.
    47
  1247. No one believes her, and all honest, decent people think she should go to jail. But, knowing British "justice" I won't hold my breath on this happening.
    47
  1248. You know that you are no longer a first league military power when you have to buy weapons from Rocket Man.
    47
  1249. Goebbels would have been immensely proud of the support the BBC gave to Downing Street's propaganda, in regard to covid-19. Every single day a very questionable death toll was reported. The fact that covid-19 posed a negligible threat to well over 99% was never mentioned. They reported demonstrations on trivial matters by sometimes a mere handful of people but never reported any of the truly massive anti-lockdown protests happening both here and abroad. Of course, while doing all they could to push people to get vaccinated, they avoided any mention of how vastly better natural immunity was. Putin would probably be very happy having BBC staff in his state media.
    47
  1250. I'm very proud to say I haven't willingly taken a single test, haven't been vaccinated, and claim exemption from wearing a mask. If everyone had followed my example this pandemic would be long over!
    47
  1251. Does Gomez have any idea what happens to EVERYONE except the rich when services like health and education are overwhelmed by having too many people to deal with?
    47
  1252. If this is true then expect the same footage to be shown again and again, with claims that each time was a new battle. I wish I'd kept a link to the Russian MoD video showing shells being launched in a wood in winter and landing in a field in summer.
    47
  1253. If I want to see a doctor I most certainly shouldn't have some uneducated receptionist, with far less medical knowledge than me, deciding whether an in person appointment is appropriate.
    47
  1254. The only thing keeping Lukashenko in power is his army, many of whose loyalty is questionable, and maybe Wagner too. So he will be extremely reluctant to send them out of the country, as without them there's a good chance he might be dragged out and hung from the nearest lamppost.
    47
  1255. That really is poetic justice: a Putin fan boy losing his son. If Russian people have access to YouTube then they really have no excuse for supporting Putin.
    47
  1256. The impression I'm getting from this video is that the R number for Omicron is being revised down, and that bit by bit, and very grudgingly, Omicron's lower severity is being acknowledged. It's looking very much like all those hospitality businesses that are now going to go to the wall, due to loss of Christmas trade, need not have.
    47
  1257. Lukashenko is basically Putin's equivalent of Mussolini, and he might like to bear in mind what the Italians did to their dictator as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
    47
  1258. Rayner and Abbott would make a great stand-up comedy double act.
    47
  1259. Labour's own Tony Blair suggested detaining illegal migrants on one of our remote islands. This would certainly make the UK less attractive. As for deporting, we already have the law in place to deport foreign criminals, This could free up those needed jail cells. But the truth is, as with our previous government, Labour is very happy to do the talking, but has absolutely no intention of doing the walking.
    47
  1260. Zelenski has invited Russian soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender; they will be treated well. Those who refuse to do so don't deserve to live!
    47
  1261. Time to put on the big boy pants, man up, and admit that we have to live with covid-19. It's here to stay, so get rid of this list nonsense completely, and suck it up!
    47
  1262. Just like the Munich 1938 agreement, that's exactly what would happen.
    47
  1263. Probably the worst government ever, but expect even worse from Labour.
    47
  1264. So proud, and relieved, to be a pure blood. I also didn't bother with those masks of which 95% or more didn't work. What did mama say: stupid is as stupid does.
    47
  1265. Despite being one of the world's richest men, Elon Musk comes across as a petulant little boy, who throws a tantrum whenever he is criticised or doesn't get his own way. One thing is sure. He certainly "doesn't have what it takes" to be an advisor to the president of the United States!
    46
  1266. ​ @ChenBeixuancultivatingnshieeet  Always have been. A book on Russia's Greatest Generals" would probably be the shortest book ever written.
    46
  1267. I thought New Yorkers had a bit more spirit than to accept this crap.
    46
  1268. What a startling contrast with those who were fast-tracked into jail for saying less.
    46
  1269. Basically, this company is dishonest. They could clearly see that the correct fee had been paid but wanted to defraud the driver out of a substantial sum. I hope hope the legal fees are fully representative of the court's time that they have wasted. It's just a shame the driver hadn't engaged a barrister, as then they would have had to pay considerably more.
    46
  1270. We need to also deport the lawyers who fight to prevent the lawful deportation of the depraved monsters!
    46
  1271. Well, I think we have all known for quite some time that Ben Wallace isn't the sharpest pencil in the box.
    46
  1272. With it looking more likely that Putin is suffering from Parkinson's or similar, he soon won't even be able to plan when he goes to the toilet.🤣
    46
  1273. The pain on his face is because he knows that if he so much as utters the word mRNA then YouTube will ban his channel.
    46
  1274. I can't help wondering if a female judge would have doled out such a lengthy jail sentence, or even a jail sentence at all. The so-called victim wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, and many who cause serious physical injury to others get shorter sentences, or none at all. The term "British Justice" is now an oxymoron.
    46
  1275. I know very good kind Muslims. But like millions of others I'm sick of being called Islamophobic for calling out misogyny, anti-Semitism, terrorism, and the abuse of young girls.
    46
  1276. Because of its location and the prevailing winds, I take a lot of comfort that most radioactive would be blown straight into Russia.
    46
  1277. Oh another far too short sentence, for a truly horrific crime. But, looking at the picture of this man the Sentencing Council probably think it's too harsh.
    46
  1278. Great news, but to safeguard those gains, and extend them, that Kerch Bridge in Crimea really does need to be taken out, as it's one of Russia's major supply lines. And the sooner it happens the better.
    46
  1279. Makes one wonder how much fuss their would have been about covid-19 if instead of hyping the fear the government had taken a leaf out of Sweden's book, or even better followed the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration.
    46
  1280. For every camera pose like this one France lets 100 boats set sail.
    46
  1281. Sadly undercutting the wages of one's own citizens is a common practice that many governments are complicit in. Going back about 30 years I can remember stories of Software Developers in the US being forced to train recruits from India, and then being sacked. 9 times out of 10, when an employer claims they can't get the staff what they really mean is that they can't get locals who are willing to work for peanuts, and/or endure appalling working conditions.
    46
  1282. What about the lack of intelligence of the millions who voted for him?
    46
  1283. I'm sure they wouldn't mind seeing more of them if they were dangling from a noose!
    46
  1284. We have known for well over half a year just how bad the damage being done to kids is. But the UK is stuffed to the gills with cowardly and selfish people. Rather than do what's right and keep schools open they have told themselves that online learning is an acceptable alternative to being in the classroom, which it most certainly isn't. They have told themselves that the social side of going to school isn't important for young people's development and mental health. They have told themselves that children are resilient and will bounce back. Well, a lot will never recover from either the damage done to their education or their mental health! What surprises me most is the complicity of kids' parents. Instead of holding mass demonstrations to protect their children they just rolled over and let it happen. The British people should be deeply ashamed of what they let the gangsters in Downing Street get away with!
    46
  1285. If a judge demonstrates such poor judgement then it's very clear that he shouldn't be a judge!
    46
  1286. Pray continue noble knight, tis but a flesh wound.🤣
    46
  1287. Whatever Putin accepts, he will eventually lash out again unless he is removed from power.
    46
  1288. How many times does it have to be repeated that because of it's very close connection with Putin taking this down will pay dividends far higher than simply its military value.
    46
  1289. Could some very patient person please explain to mad dog Putin that Ukraine is an independent country. As such, it is entitled to receive whatever other countries wish to send it, be that blankets or bullets. As an independent country, it is also entitled to invite NATO in!
    46
  1290. If it was 4 or 5 times for Delta, then with much more infectious Omicron we are easily looking at 20 to 30 times, which just shows what a very small deal this EXTREMELY MILD variant is. But I guess if you have shares in big pharma, and are facing the prospect of rapidly (and SAFELY) spreading herd immunity derailing your gravy train, then it is a very big deal.
    46
  1291. Come on folks, admit it. The UN is now as big a joke as the League of Nations once was.
    46
  1292. The simple truth is, that between vaccination and natural immunity in those who have recovered, the UK has now reached herd immunity. It's game over for covid-19 in this country. There is no longer any justification for any restrictions or travel bans. Those who worry about variants, or anything else, are simply cowardly snowflakes: or power crazed ministers who want to keep this dictatorship going as long as possible.
    46
  1293. I love it when they hit a moving tank and you don't see any Orcs escaping from it.
    46
  1294. Can you really blame the French for getting rid of ILLEGALS that they don't want? The fault lies with OUR government for letting them in. Also, consider this. France is a beautiful country, jam-packed with culture, history, good food, a generally better climate than the UK, and a functioning health service. If these migrants prefer the UK then we are doing something very badly wrong!
    46
  1295. Perhaps if the strikes against the Houthis had been to try and eliminate their military capacity, rather than being "proportionate", then this might not have happened.
    46
  1296. Seeing this kind of destruction is horrific, and used to be something we only saw in movies. If Russia had experienced similar destruction in its own territory I wonder how strong support for Putin would be.
    46
  1297. Meanwhile, in Enfield, there's barely a breeze.
    45
  1298. C'est un succès véritablement spectaculaire. Poutine fera très certainement payer cette grave humiliation à des officiers militaires de haut rang.
    45
  1299. Knowing how honest the Russian MoD is, this is probably some of their own men during an exercise in Russia.
    45
  1300. Decades ago I did a tour of classical Greece in December. It was still pleasant T-shirt weather, and much quieter. We had places like the Acropolis and Delphi more or less to ourselves.
    45
  1301. Old Chinese proverb say: mad dogs eventually bite each other.
    45
  1302. Couldn't tell if any of the tanks were moving. It's best when they are, because then you know you have reduced the Orc infestation a little.
    45
  1303. This sounds completely premeditated. Those who build these flats sewage systems deliberately committed a criminal offence and should be jailed for it.
    45
  1304. Great to see Uncle SAM's presents in action. Now when are we going to see those weapons that Germany promised many weeks ago?
    45
  1305. What truly appalls me about India is the breathtaking level of inequality. There are still many millions of people living without running water or electricity. The cost of a luxury handbag is more than many Indians could hope to earn in several lifetimes!
    45
  1306. Most of us are agape and speechless at how incredibly indulgent the police have been towards highly disruptive "Just Stop Oil" and "Insultate Britain" protestors. What a contrast to how anti-lockdown protests, that weren't at all disruptive, were handled!
    45
  1307. Give into such blackmail even once and it will be used time and time again: and not just by Putin!
    45
  1308. So let me get this right. If I go along to a Man U match and sing the "who's that dying on the runway" song I get arrested. But screaming Jihad is perfectly OK.
    45
  1309. Ukraine was minding its own business!
    45
  1310. Now you know why ABC doesn't allow comments. They don't want their pro-Hamas stance criticised.
    45
  1311. If one speculated about whether someone would have a boy or a girl would that make you sexist? Would it be frowned upon to speculate on a child's eye colour or hair colour? Then why does speculation on skin colour automatically make you a racist?
    45
  1312. Those who think Russia can't be beaten need to remember two reliably verified facts: 1. Russian troop losses, due to either death or life-changing injury, are very close to one million. 2. The Russian economy is in a very bad way, and getting worse. As long as Ukraine is given strong support Russia cannot sustain this rate of losses or economic decline. Allowing Putin to keep even one square meter of Ukraine, including Crimea, would be insanely stupid.
    45
  1313. We need to think back to August 3, 1981 when Ronald Regan sacked 12,000 air traffic controllers. You need a lot more intelligence to be an air traffic controller than a train driver, so it shouldn't be that hard to replace all of them.
    45
  1314. If memory serves me right, about 50 years ago Croydon was a pleasant and safe place to live.
    45
  1315. Good to see some Orcs being taken out with UK weapons. Still waiting to see German weapons ridding the world of evil.
    45
  1316. Not an “extraordinary intelligence failure”, rather an "extraordinary failure of intelligence". How is it that many people like me predicted exactly this as the last troops were pulling out of their bases. Was it really just a lucky guess?
    45
  1317. This is just the tiny tip of the iceberg. So many other people will have died quietly without bothering the GP, which is exactly what many GPs want. Just rake in as much money as you can for having as many patients on your books as you can get, but do all in your power to avoid the inconvenience of seeing them.
    45
  1318. This sounds like a German turning round in 1945 and saying "you know, I suspect Hitler might not be a very nice man".
    45
  1319. Another bucolic production by Russian MoD Film Studios, showing peaceful sunny views of the RUSSIAN countryside. The shots into the empty sky probably didn't even hurt a sparrow.
    44
  1320. It looks like the allies didn't free Belgium from occupation in 1945!
    44
  1321. This is why we call Russian soldiers Orcs, and why we must give Ukraine our full and unwavering support to drive them out of the whole country, including Crimea.
    44
  1322. Any country that thinks what Putin is doing in Ukraine is even remotely acceptable has no place among civilized countries. Like Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations, negotiating with Putin would simply be offering him an opportunity to consolidate and redeploy his Orcs. Hungary's suffering is nothing compared to that of Ukraine. If Hungary wants close ties with Russia then it has no place in the EU!
    44
  1323. Unfortunately conscription would be like applying a plaster to a gaping wound. To fight effectively requires lots of training and fitness building. For maximum efficacy think at least one year.
    44
  1324. As I've said many times before, if Russia knew that Moscow would be hit in return then this wouldn't be happening. Think of what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower with far less resources.
    44
  1325. I still think that setting up internment camps on bleak, wet, windswept Scottish islands would be a lot cheaper and a much better deterrent. Personally, I'd also send the lawyers supporting these dingy boys there too.
    44
  1326. The vast majority of people would much rather see space made by deporting foreign prisoners. Also, many of those jailed for heat of the moment tweets that they didn't really mean poses no threat to society.
    44
  1327. Fear not, they have a cunning plan. With between 500 and 1000 extra dying every week, and rising, they will eventually be able to cut the waiting lists, waiting times, and continue running the NHS on a wing and a prayer. And remember, the managers and admin staff are doing fine, which is the most important thing.
    44
  1328. I could make a few suggestions but under TTK I'd quickly be jailed for them!
    44
  1329. A major concern is that without parental consent most children would be pressured into getting vaccinated, by cowardly selfish teachers. Even at 63, I advise my students not to get vaccinated. I explain the scientific facts to them which are: 1. The vast majority of young people are at negligible risk from covid-19. 2. Having had covid-19 they will then have natural immunity, which may last them a lifetime, and which is 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity. 3. The massive and very reliable Israel study showed that there is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Sadly, unlike me, most teachers are not honest, and do not have their students' best interests at heart. By the way it's estimated that at least 50 percent of UK children have had covid-19. Very, very, very few have been made sick by it.
    44
  1330. Call me old-fashioned but when I grew up medical ethics very clearly stated that one does not give a patient a treatment unless the benefit to them SIGNIFICANTLY outweighs the risk. Now, quite apart from the risk of heart inflammation, these vaccines are all spanking new. They have not undergone the usual minimum of 4 years SAFETY testing, so it is impossible to be certain that there won't be any very nasty UNFORESEEN side effects a few years down the line. This is especially true in regard to the mRNA vaccines which are new technology. Bad things can take years to happen. There are plenty of substances you can take or come into contact with (tobacco, asbestos) that will take many years to do their worst. People need to understand that politicians, who won't be in power by then, really don't care in the least if things go badly wrong in a few years. In my HONEST opinion, if you are under 30 or have previously had covid-19 then you are a fool if you get vaccinated.
    44
  1331. Thanks for sharing. That's one of the best laughs I've had in a while.
    44
  1332. It seems that that only people in this country whose rights (and safety) we don't care about are ordinary, decent, law-abiding people.
    44
  1333. Any decent, honest person can see how unfair and dishonest this policy is. While working those people paid their tax just like those who stayed in the UK. They are also not burdening the NHS or other UK services. So there is absolutely no rational for not giving them the increase.
    44
  1334. When 25% of the UK's working population is on benefits, rather than working, then what the hell do people expect?
    44
  1335. She needs a one-way ticket to Gaza!
    44
  1336. Just like the Tories, most Labour MPs are totally self-serving. So they will vote the way Starmer wants them to, rather than risk being persecuted for doing what's right.
    44
  1337. I'm glad that some of my taxes are helping rid the world of evil Orcs, and would happily pay more to ensure Ukraine gets the weapons it needs ASAP.
    44
  1338. Another threat from Putin is like another rainy day in Vancouver, except that Putin's threats happen more often.
    44
  1339. Anyone can claim to know a secret, but such claims mean nothing until you prove them.
    44
  1340. If the Orcs were trying to recover the tank it's a pity that a few weren't allowed to get close before it was blown up.
    44
  1341. Well, despite the fact that the majority in Northern Ireland voted for Sinn Fein, who are happy with the Brexit deal, Downing Street is siding with the MINORITY DUP.
    44
  1342. This is why it's so important that we give Ukraine missiles that can reach the sites these missiles, directed against defenseless civilians, are being launched from, wherever they are.
    44
  1343. I never thought I'd say this about a lawyer, but Todd Zywicki is an inspiration to everyone fighting the tyrants and latter day Dr. Mengele's. As US law is based on precedent this spells the beginning of the end for vaccine passports in the US. If only this could happen in the UK, where law is also based on precedent, it would bury vaccination passports. Everyone who loves freedom needs to share this video so that other lawyers can use it to fight and WIN their cases.
    44
  1344. Conscript: "Mom, we're in shock" Mom: "Surrender as quickly as possible to the Ukrainians. I want you back alive and whole"
    43
  1345. It's easy to be generous with other people's (the taxpayers) money.
    43
  1346. Or the US, or UK.
    43
  1347. The only thing likely to escalate is Putin's incontinence.
    43
  1348. It's some consolation that the most dependent countries appear to be either Putin fan boys or fence-sitters, so there's some poetic justice in this.
    43
  1349. Unless they are too specific it's not that crazy. They may well panic Putin into doing something really stupid, as he is already very jittery.
    43
  1350. It is standard procedure in many countries to deport those who have committed an imprisonable offence. What the hell is wrong with this country?
    43
  1351. Thankfully, for Ukraine, Russian generals are chosen for their unquestioning obedience and not for their intelligence or any originality of thought.
    43
  1352. How can Australians allow their government to do such a stupid and dangerous thing? Most will definitely be Hamas supporters, and a good proportion will actually be Hamas terrorists. Governments have a solemn duty to put the safety of their citizens first!
    43
  1353. It's REALLY easy! For those who shouldn't be in this country you have detention on some of the 1000s, of bleak bleak offshore islands that we have. It's called a deterrent, and cheaper than using luxury hotels.
    43
  1354. It looks like what many doctors and scientists have been saying is true. This EXTREMELY MILD variant really does offer the possibility of properly, and SAFELY, vaccinating people, thus spreading herd immunity and bringing this pandemic to an end.
    43
  1355. It's like a holiday camp compared to the conditions they have to endure while fighting for Putin. I'd be surprised if many wanted to go back to Russia until the war is over. If most Orcs knew what these camps were like Ukraine would have a real problem accommodating all those who surrender.
    43
  1356. Am I the only one who believes that there would be far fewer stabbings if there was a lot more stop and search, with a mandatory long prison sentence for those caught with a knife?
    43
  1357. I'm more worried about the approximately 1700 days that Labour has left.
    43
  1358. All governments rely on most people being thick, and they are seldom disappointed.
    43
  1359. As there were no slogans on the scarf she should have told the anti-Semite where to shove her request!
    43
  1360. You don't expect strong and decent leadership from a lawyer. You expect weaseling, and this is exactly what we are getting.
    43
  1361. Those tunnels were built with embezzled money that was meant for Gaza's civilians. If all the money destined for them had been spent on them they would be enjoying an enviable lifestyle. But then support for Hamas would have dried up.
    43
  1362. No one should be allowed to use religion as an excuse to cause unnecessary suffering to animals or treat women and girls as second class citizens. No ifs, no buts, no maybes!
    43
  1363. If the vaccine was just given to those who really need it, instead of trying to force it on those who don't, this wouldn't be an issue.
    43
  1364. There's no reason why the lipid nano particles, which are circulating throughout the body, can't be absorbed by absolutely ANY tissue. With the heart we see a very quick autoimmune response, but with the pancreas and brain tissue that adverse response might take years, or even decades in some cases. I really do wonder if years down the line we are going to start noticing a significant increase in type I Diabetes, dementia, and other immune system related diseases. What infuriates me, even thought I didn't take these vaccines, is the way the book on medical ethics was burned and had its ashes scattered to the wind. Even without safety concerns it used to be the case that vaccines were not recommended unless there was a substantial benefit to the patient. This was Medical Ethics 101! For the overwhelming majority of people covid-19 posed a negligible risk, so they should never have been vaccinated, and certainly not coerced into it!
    43
  1365. Actually, I think there is a lot more sympathy and solidarity with Jewish people than most realise. The problem is that MSM, including YouTube, have silenced a lot of it.
    43
  1366. While defenses in Crimea are weakened Ukraine needs to keep up the attacks!
    43
  1367. Trump is spot on!
    43
  1368. Dear God, please forgive me for being white. Please forgive me for being straight, attending a decent school, going to university, and enjoying a well paid job.
    43
  1369. The hallmark of a Russian MoD video is that you see soldiers getting the kit ready and shooting, but you never see anything other than a field or some trees being hit. This video doesn't deviate from that script. All foreplay and no climax!
    43
  1370. As far as Labour and its lackeys are concerned most people in the country are far-right and racist. Of course, for decades it's been a well established fact that most activists in education unions are ardent Trotskyists, so this accusation comes as no surprise.
    43
  1371. Even when lots of Tory MPs where rebelling against covid-19 restrictions Downing Street was able to get them through, due to the unstinting support of Scumbag Starmer. And these restrictions hurt the working class far more than anyone else!
    43
  1372. Maybe things have changed since I took the test, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, but I seem to recall the the advice was to complete the overtaking maneuver as quickly as possible. The reasoning given was that being on the wrong side of the road was a safety risk. So "pedal to the metal" was the right way to do it.
    43
  1373. Putin massively mobilising will certainly feed discontent. However Putin will fight on until he dies, like Hitler, in some rathole of a bunker.
    43
  1374. Does anyone now seriously think that Hungary is an EU or NATO member that can be relied on and trusted? Hungary would sell all the other members of both these organisations down the river without thinking twice about it. For the far greater good Hungary NEEDS to be expelled from both!
    43
  1375. It's not. This was a wrongful arrest.
    43
  1376. Those who continue to wear masks might as well walk around with a tee-shirt that says "I am a snowflake wanker".
    42
  1377. Imagine if we end up with Angela Rayner as PM. Someone who left school without even a single low grade GCSE to her name. I used to think that we had hit rock bottom with John Major, but next to her he looks like a Nobel laureate.
    42
  1378. Very happy to hear that the two Orcs flying it bought the farm.
    42
  1379. I doubt that the police will investigate very hard. They don't want to have to arrest anyone from a protected group.
    42
  1380. It never ceases to amaze me that anyone takes remarks made about them on social media seriously. The worse someone insults me the more I laugh at how much I have got to them and must be irritating them.
    42
  1381. Why hasn't someone done something to Andrews? When I come across a bully I never ever think about appeasing him, only how best to put the boot in, and the harder the better. Has no one ever been behind Dan when he's walking down some stairs, or been holding something heavy when above him? As the Americans say: "don't get mad, get even".
    42
  1382. "terrors of the earth" Like being made to look at Boris's hair.
    42
  1383. What's so funny about this is that while Boris wasn't going to give Nadine a peerage, he was going to give his hairdresser one. Ouch!
    42
  1384. The jury perverted the course of justice. They should be punished for this, and their verdict dismissed.
    42
  1385. Much as I'd love the "running out of missiles" comment to be true, we've heard it many times before. It's like the "Putin seriously ill" rumors, but he refuses to do the decent thing and die.
    42
  1386. Am I the only one waiting for her to be charged too?
    42
  1387. It would be nice if those nuclear bombers that he has positioned within 20 miles of the Finnish border were all taken out: not to mention, extremely humiliating. The commentator is absolutely wrong about giving Putin any "golden bridge". If anything we need, more than ever, to pile on the public humiliation. Not only must he not get an inch of Ukrainian territory, the Crimea that he stole must be taken back! Let's not forget that Georgia has had 20% of its land stolen, and other regions too have serious grudges. Maybe seeing Putin's weakness will encourage them to fight back as well, which could put a final end to any Russian threat.
    42
  1388. Not getting fed up, already fed up for several years!
    42
  1389. Karma for giving safe haven to the Taliban when they were fighting British and American forces in Afghanistan. If Pakistan had helped eliminate them both Afghanistan and Pakistan would be much better off.
    42
  1390. If Chicken Joe allowed Ukraine to use its long-range missiles then this might not have happened!
    42
  1391. I expect every employer to hire the man or woman best able to do the job. Diversity of opportunity should come from proper primary and secondary schooling, NOT a quota system for universities or recruiters. I hope Braverman also ordered the boys in blue in the North West to prosecute anyone who abuses teenage girls, regardless of ethnicity or religious persuasion.
    42
  1392. Most North Koreans dream of escaping their country. The only surprise is the North Korean soldiers who are not surrendering to Ukrainian forces.
    42
  1393. Perhaps if a few more gas pipelines, like the one near St. Petersburg, are blown up then Russia will learn to curb its barbarism. A few good explosions in the Moscow vicinity should certainly focus Russian minds on the importance of civilized behaviour.
    42
  1394. Better than this public arrest would be a "knock on the door", in the early hours, by MI5.
    42
  1395. Well done Pakistan! What a contrast to the UK and US response to the Houthis, where they just spouted empty words as there was attack after attack. Unless Iran wants to be handed its arse it will think twice about messing with Pakistan again.
    42
  1396. The continuing advance of Ukrainian forces is very humiliating for Putin. If it is at all possible to take out the Kerch Bridge then, as well as seriously hurting supply lines, that would multiply Putin's humiliation many times over. Maybe even enough to make his position no longer tenable.
    42
  1397. Iran making threats is like a Chihuahua yelping at a Rottweiler.🤣
    42
  1398. Putin's propaganda machine is like Monty Python's knight claiming "it's only a flesh wound".
    41
  1399. Looks like Germany will finally have to go cold turkey on its Russian gas addiction.
    41
  1400. You have to have intelligence to learn, and Putin really isn't particularly bright, in case people haven't noticed.
    41
  1401. Poland has never forgotten the treacherous and totally unprovoked invasion that Russia, together with the Nazis, launched on it in 1939!
    41
  1402. My God, what a vile and evil thing to do. Now I understand why so many native Hawaiians hate the mainland USA.
    41
  1403. The gap lies between two well equipped NATO countries: Poland and Lithuania. I'd really like to see Putin try to take this. I'd probably damage myself from laughing so much. In fact, because this is the only way that Russia can get at them, I've heard that many in Kaliningrad are considering leaving the Russian Federation.
    41
  1404. Dictatorships are what you get when you are not prepared to stand up and fight for your freedom!
    41
  1405. No, Michael Clarke, it's not at all ridiculous. Russian history teaches us that the Wagner Group now have only two choices: flee Russia or fight against Putin. Russian purges are infamous, and none of those in Wagner will be given the benefit of the doubt if they fall into the hands of Putin supporters. Also, these are hardened mercenaries who would likely take out several regular Russian soldiers each. Can the regular Russian military afford to lose at least (probably a lot more) 50 thousand regular soldiers in a civil war? What will be the reaction of regions that really want out of the Russian Federation, on seeing this?
    41
  1406. What kind of sick people don't appreciate that sexual abuse of a child is a serious and vile crime, and that being Muslim or non- white doesn't excuse it in the least. Police and councilors that turn a blind eye to this should suffer the same punishment as those who commit these disgusting and cowardly crimes.
    41
  1407. Isn't funny how instead of taking a long hard look at themselves the Met Police and BBC just whine and show annoyance at those who criticise them.
    41
  1408. But lots of virgins in Lebanon can now sleep soundly.
    41
  1409. The other old adage those Russian lovers having their homes destroyed might like to recall is: "With friends like these who needs enemies"
    41
  1410. The trouble is that YouTube bans channels that get too close to speaking the truth.
    41
  1411. The BEST way to insure this doesn't happen is to make it very clear that if this happens Ukraine will IMMEDIATELY be supplied with equally capable nuclear weapons.
    41
  1412. Exactly that, AGAIN!
    41
  1413. "flock of birds" - Russian metal birds!
    41
  1414. Most license payers would like to sack the BBC!
    41
  1415. A man who is prepared to put his country's interests first. many of our politicians could learn from this.
    41
  1416. Waste of money. Most would vote for no lockdowns, and the snowflakes would cry. But the Downing Street dictators don't give a toss what those who elected them want, and neither do most MPs.
    41
  1417. The scumbag lawyer trying to get these animals off should be deported!
    41
  1418. The West certainly overestimated Putin's sanity!
    41
  1419. I'm not Trump's greatest fan, but sometimes he talks a lot of sense, and this is one of them. I'm guessing that if trump was in power NATO would have gone straight into Ukraine and kicked Putin's sorry arse out of the country, BEFORE so much damage was done. Let's tell it as it is. Ukraine is an independent country, and as such it has an absolute right to invite in whomever it pleases to help it remove a hostile invading force. It's really that simple, and for all his words I doubt Putin would have done, or been allowed to do, anything about it.
    41
  1420. After the countless war crimes committed by the Russian military, why are they simply being allowed to leave?
    41
  1421. I don't thing anyone with a modicum of intelligence and decency would trust either of them. This seems to be the opinion of most other posters too.
    41
  1422. If ever there was a good reason for carrying a knife, taser, or pepper spray, then this is certainly one of them!
    40
  1423. Is anybody surprised by this?
    40
  1424. I love it when they move. Then you know some Orcs are being roasted for their sins.
    40
  1425. We should have all let the virus "rip" right from the start. As per the REAL experts, who later repeated their sage advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, only the most vulnerable should have been isolated until natural herd immunity developed.
    40
  1426. I'm more worried about how many Muslim fundamentalists Starmer will let into the UK, and how many Sharia courts he will fund with our taxes.
    40
  1427. If the government, police and courts won't protect our young girls then the people need to. If I lived in Rochdale I'd very seriously consider "dealing" with these monsters myself.
    40
  1428. The dictators know that in this instance people would would stand up for their rights. It's just a pity that it takes a sporting event to make them do what they should have always been doing.
    40
  1429. Ce serait vraiment formidable de voir davantage d’infrastructures gazières et pétrolières durement touchées, en particulier au cœur de la Russie.
    40
  1430. Apart from the Putin fan boys, everyone will agree that this is a good idea.
    40
  1431. This makes a lot of sense. Even though North Korea has a total nut job for ruler, it isn't currently committing genocide in another country. So why should Russia get off more lightly?
    40
  1432. The problem isn't top graduates who can greatly contribute to our economy. It's the hundreds of thousands of the ones we let in who only TAKE from it!
    40
  1433. "Equally, it could go east." No! Because of prevailing Westerlies, its MORE LIKELY to go east into Russia.
    40
  1434. Every country, every region in the Russian Federation, and every soldier, from private to general, who has an issue with Putin needs to act NOW. An opportunity like this may never come again and shouldn't be squandered.
    40
  1435. Martin should blame the French for allowing all the refuges to hang around its ports, just waiting for a chance to cross the channel. And when they take their chance the French do bugger all to stop them.
    40
  1436. They don't know. They are gullible schmucks who believe every word that Boris and his sleazy cabinet utter.
    40
  1437. If at all practical we need to offer an almost immediate provisional membership of NATO right away, which can be ratified a little bit later, that gives these countries the protection they need now. This would also make Putin's position, with those holding his lead, even less tenable.
    40
  1438. If only we could swap decent hard-working Vietnamese, who don't challenge our values, for certain other groups!
    40
  1439. A vote for the Conservatives or Labour is like choosing between having red hot splints stuck under your fingernails or toenails. It's time to have the sense and courage to choose another party. I voted Reform UK.
    40
  1440. There was at least one report in 2017, on Moderna's research into mRNA treatments clearly stating that there were unavoidable NASTY side effects. Our government would also have been well aware of reports like this.
    40
  1441. This truce is a colossal mistake on Israel's part. The lives of those few hostages released may well be bought at the cost of a greater number of brave Israeli soldiers' lives. At the very least Israel, as it did at the start, should have insisted that any deal include every single hostage. At only 50 are we now going to see this repeated at least another 4 times?
    40
  1442. I have taught A-level maths, further maths, physics, and chemistry for many years. I can tell you unequivocally that in all these subjects there are some topics that are vastly harder than others. What is, without the slightest doubt, now going to happen is that the vast majority of teachers are going to avoid teaching and accessing these topics. And who can blame them? They know that this is going to happen in other schools, and don't want to disadvantage their students. So once again we are going to see massive grade inflation, and another year of totally discredited results. Of course, there will be a few teachers who try to make their assessments as close to A-levels as possible. Sadly, their students will be at a massive disadvantage to the majority. The ONLY fair system is external exams. We are only in February, so there is more than enough time to allow these to be arranged. But, when did this government ever care about young people, or doing what's right and fair?
    40
  1443. How surprising, another Labour MP protesting Labour's innocence.
    40
  1444. People in Europe who protest don't (or very rarely) get taken down to the police station and tortured.
    40
  1445. I wonder if all the Hamas supporters ever stop to consider that if Hamas cared about Palestinian civilians then they wouldn't deliberately hide and operate among them.
    40
  1446. Of course it couldn't possibly be a reaction to having a Tory cabinet that is stuffed to the gills with lying, cheating, back-stabbing, wide-boys, could it?😉
    40
  1447. There are people struggling on very low wages, who provide vital services and pay taxes, who don't get free travel, Why should those who have contributed nothing get it instead of them? This is completely unacceptable, and it's not free, it's paid for by us taxpayers.
    40
  1448. The UK lost it's empire a long time ago. It is no longer one of the big boys. The job of the UK government is to look after the interests of the British people. And so far it has done a piss poor job of this.
    40
  1449. There are now billboards depicting Herr Macon as Adolf Hitler. Like any dictator he is trying to get them taken down.
    40
  1450. Hamas attacking that convoy is exactly what most of us suspected from the start.
    40
  1451. What about the villagers' right not to have to look at such an unpleasant sight?
    39
  1452. If Putin wasn't so thick (and desperate) he would understand that the West giving into his blackmail will never be an option.
    39
  1453. People DID allow it to happen. Instead of taking to the streets they complied like good little sheep lining up for the abattoir. And look at how these cowards sacrificed the education and mental health of their own children.
    39
  1454. I think most of us worked out quite some time ago that Sunak is a coward, with very limited intelligence and even less integrity: and the same goes for those in his cabinet.
    39
  1455. I'm not a Trump fan, but when someone covers up something this important you automatically ask yourself what else they have or would cover up.
    39
  1456. Maybe he wants a job with the BBC.
    39
  1457. Just imagine where science and technology might be now if both Heron's steam engine and devices like this had been avidly pursued and put together.
    39
  1458. There are American, British and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash to be allowed to fly missions to eradicate the Orcs in Ukraine. We don't need to give Ukraine jets. We just need to let our boys do what they have been trained to do well! This would be completely compliant with international law, and is not an invasion of Russia. However our weak governments are still frightened of upsetting incontinent Putin, which is what emboldened him to invade Ukraine in the first place.
    39
  1459. If, unlike last winter, Ukraine can keep up this pressure, and not take a 4 month pause, it might just lead to Putin's downfall.
    39
  1460. Sunak's pathetic handling of the ILLEGAL migrant crisis has definitely now provided enough material for a hilarious comedy series. The only thing is that most of us aren't laughing about it, and the farce is very far from over.
    39
  1461. Yes people are indeed crying out for change. A change from BOTH Labour and Conservative!
    39
  1462. Most of us who know what Hamas is would be very surprised if this hadn't happened!
    39
  1463. I feel really sorry for the trees.
    39
  1464. So many people are wildly cheering Israel, but YouTube is removing most such posts.
    39
  1465. Well done! I wish we could see some videos of that crucial bridge in Crimea being taken out, a few more ships going on special diving operations, and a few special firework displays in Belgorod.
    39
  1466. Am I the only one thinking that it's a bit off that he is getting jailed while the animal that broke a policewoman's nose STILL hasn't even been charged?
    39
  1467. It's well known that Orcs prefer the night, but this one didn't go very well for them.
    39
  1468. As in the UK, a country gets screwed when its people entrust its governance to self-serving individuals who also aren't particularly bright.
    39
  1469. One of these "power-mad premiers" needs to have a nasty accident in a dark alley. That will give the rest of them something real to worry about.😉
    39
  1470. One thing worth noting is that under PR, rather than the corrupt FPTP, Labour would only have gained half as many seats as it did, and Reform UK would have had over 10 times as many!
    39
  1471. The result of Hamas enjoying many years of ceasefire. And it's impossible to believe that most "innocent" Palestinians didn't know they were being constructed, and why.
    39
  1472. Perhaps if in the 1930s people had been prepared to take a stand then the Holocaust would have been averted. Never forget that then too it was scaremongering about health that kicked things off.
    39
  1473. Apart from woke, self-pitying generation Z, who are always whinging about their mental health, nobody else wants this pair back.
    39
  1474. Plenty more oil depots and refineries are still begging for the same treatment!
    39
  1475. There are lots of homeless people sleeping on the streets, through no fault of their own (abusive parent or job loss) who would think they had died and gone to heaven if they were offered this free accommodation, but it is going to ILLEGAL migrants who have no right to be in this country.
    39
  1476. Well just look at how the government is treating them. Someone on minimum wage gets about 2.5 time as much as the state pension. Most really struggle on minimum wage, so imagine surviving on a state pension. Now, with heating bills set to go through the roof, and food prices also shooting up, the government is reneging on the "triple lock", and screwing OAPs out of the pension rise that they are going to need very badly. What a despicable way to treat our elderly!
    39
  1477. And the Gazans, that the do-gooders are making such a fuss about, cheered and danced!
    39
  1478. Rape is rape, no matter what your race or religion!
    39
  1479. That senility is increasing with each passing day. As things stand Trump is going to be laughing his way to the White House.
    38
  1480. Two of the first things most of us are taught, including lawyers, are: 1. Everybody is equal before the law. 2. Claiming ignorance of the law is not a defense. If this country still has any honest, decent judges then they need to very publicly repudiate these guidelines. Also, the UNELECTED council that published them should be immediately shut down.
    38
  1481. Very distressing to see 3 Orcs escaping at the start of this video.
    38
  1482. None of these lovers of criminals ever ask why Kaba was running from the police. I'm sick of being told what a wonderful chap so many criminals are. If a criminal dies while committing a crime, or trying to escape the police then I'm more than OK with that!
    38
  1483. As part of my PGCE at Leeds University a trip was made to a local private school. I can remember the deputy head telling us that he had parents who did evening cleaning jobs in order to be able to afford to send their children there.
    38
  1484. Why say anything. After what Russia has done to Ukraine this is but a drop in the ocean of the payback that's due.
    38
  1485. One of a government's solemn duties is to defend the border for its citizens. Neither this nor the previous government gives a damn about doing this. These crossings could easily be stopped and strongly discouraged if there was the will to do so.
    38
  1486. I wonder if people will still be as anxious to get the needle once they hear about the 30 deaths after vaccination that have been reported from Norway? As the UK has vaccinated far more people, am I the only one who finds it very hard to believe that no such deaths have occurred in the UK? Not that anyone would ever think that our 100% trustworthy PM and his minister would ever cover anything up.
    38
  1487. Looks like there was plenty of roast Orc to go with those vehicles.
    38
  1488. Nice to see that some law firms aren't totally bereft of decency. Those students now need a visit from the CIA.
    38
  1489. I see serious ethical issues in a secular country squandering my hard earned taxes on superstitious bible bashers.
    38
  1490. You are so right on that. If I were running MI5 the taxpayers' money would never be wasted fattening the wallets of lawyers and deradicalisation councilors. These animals would meet with "accidents" BEFORE they ever got to court, and the police would be strongly encouraged to investigate more worthy causes.
    38
  1491. This is why it's so important that Russia isn't allowed even the smallest victory in Ukraine, and is kicked out of Crimea. The oldest Ukrainians will tell you that dealing with Russians is far worse than dealing with Hitler's Nazis. This will also make Ukrainian soldiers fight so much harder, rather than surrender, because dying on the battlefield is vastly less painful than what Russians will do to anyone who becomes their prisoner.
    38
  1492. I don't know about you, but I would much rather see these people jailed than those who make heat of the moment tweets that they don't really mean.
    38
  1493. Given the opportunity, most in the Labour Party would stop all arms sales to Israel, and instead give them freely to Hamas, at the taxpayers' expense. Despite all the earlier fuss and rhetoric, Labour remains institutionally, and resolutely, anti-Semitic!
    38
  1494. Great stuff, but it's now been a couple of nights that Moscow has gone without its firework display. Let's not leave those Muscovites feeling neglected.
    38
  1495. What a complete moron and w@nker you are. Why did you take the vaccine if you don't think it's protecting you from us dirty unvaccinated?
    38
  1496. If it wasn't a Muslim boy then perhaps the officer wouldn't have laughed along.
    38
  1497. Nice thought, but Wagner are mercenaries, not patriots. Most of them are probably now looking for ways to completely disappear before some "accident" befalls them.
    38
  1498. It's so heartening to see a few Orcs being roasted everyday. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg and a lot more of these filthy animals are being dispatched than just the ones we see.
    38
  1499. Well if people like Hoey had even an ounce of conviction and courage Reform UK would have an excellent chance of winning!
    38
  1500. There is indeed a way out. Nationalise all the energy producers in the UK and in UK territorial waters, and then sell that energy at cost, instead of at an obscene profit. Apart from a few rich bastards I can't see many objecting to this.
    38
  1501. As they aren't too bright, I hope the government understands that getting ELECTRICITY to into ordinary homes has the highest priority. Without it people's central heating won't work no matter how much gas is made available to them. Also, all the food in fridges and freezers will go off, but due to money being tight a lot will still be tempted to eat it, leading to many food poisoning cases.
    38
  1502. These journalists are staunch Hamas supporters!
    38
  1503. Putin fanboys, please notice the difference between Ukraine's videos and those of Russia. The Ukrainians show you what's being toasted, rather than their own stuff. By contrast the only vehicles you ever see in a Russian video are their own ones. With Ukraine you get the climax. With Russia all you get is foreplay.
    38
  1504. And bent lawyers have taught them how and even told them to lie. Of course, the Law Society turns a blind eye to this.
    38
  1505. Given Finland's very long border with Russia, it should be admitted ASAP. That's not to say we should give up on Sweden. In fact, I'd happily swap a proper democracy like Sweden for Turkey without a seconds hesitation.
    38
  1506. Also, something that many of our own homeless would be incredibly grateful to have.
    38
  1507. I can't help but chuckle when I think of the millions of champagne socialists who voted for Labour. Voting has consequences, and unwise voting can have incredibly bad consequences.
    38
  1508. Me too, and the more I learn the happier I get!
    38
  1509. Very pleased to see this. HOWEVER, there should already have been many more oil depots blown up. Also there are thousands of miles of vulnerable oil and gas pipelines that have been begging to be blown up, and haven't been touched!
    38
  1510. This is the kind of statement one expected to hear on the streets of Nazi Germany or occupied Poland. All decent Brits were aghast and horrified by it. Yet both the policeman who said it, and the head of the Met Police, who did nothing about it, are still in their jobs. If that policeman had said "you are openly Muslim" he would have been sacked before he could even get back to his station.
    38
  1511. I'd like a latter day Guy Fawkes to shuffle the whole damn lot out of power.
    38
  1512. If there's too much sun, or too much rain, Iran blames the US.🤣
    38
  1513. Looking at the demographic of Labour MPs I'd be very surprised if a goodly number aren't anti-Semitic, but have so far resisted the urge to publicly express their sentiments.
    38
  1514. People have gone to jail, and many more had their lives ruined, because Post Office bosses lied and perverted the course of justice. Justice demands that these bosses now go to jail!
    38
  1515. Kwasi was doing EXACTLY what Truss told him to do, so she should not have sacked him. But then not doing so would require integrity and courage.
    38
  1516. Could it be the Putin no longer thinks that Trump will be his saviour and is now getting really desperate?
    38
  1517. Maintaining working nuclear warheads is very complicated and expensive, so the launchers are probably the least of Putin's problems.
    38
  1518. As BB can affirm, some of the first things drilled into students at law school are: 1. Everyone is equal before the law. 2. Ignorance of the law is not an acceptable defence. For the public to trust our legal system judges need to stand firm on what they were taught, and accepted, at the very start of their legal career!
    37
  1519. Sometimes one almost feels that ordinary people need to take up arms to protect themselves and this country from people who absolutely shouldn't be here and hate everything it stands for.
    37
  1520. Keep the pressure on throughout the winter and there's a good chance Putin won't weather it.
    37
  1521. Even the most intellectually challenged could see this coming a mile off. What have most governments been doing in the last 6 months to prepare for it?
    37
  1522. He should never have been offered the job, and whoever offered him it should also lose their job. No decent person would offer someone like Hancock a job.
    37
  1523. The bottom line is that EasyJet and Tui took large numbers of bookings, and people's money, when they knew damn well that they didn't have the ability to fulfill their contracts. There should be punishments for doing this. However, people could see on the news how short staffed these companies were, so why were they stupid enough to book with them?
    37
  1524. Well explained. Yes Russia has pushed forward, but this land can be taken back. Russia cannot get back all the soldiers it has lost, and the cost of replacing all its military equipment and destroyed refineries is staggering. And there is so much more economic cost to Russia. Like someone sinking into serious debt, it's possible to put a brave face on things for quite a while, but eventually it catches up and bites you really hard.
    37
  1525. What utter contempt this man has for the electorate. Does he honestly expect people to believe that he didn't know what was going on where he lives? The only thing Boris ever regrets is being caught, because he then has to go to the bother of finding someone else to carry the can. While Boris may well have a classics degree I doubt he holds the goddess Veritas in very high regard.
    37
  1526. The intended victim whom they caught very likely knows who was after him, or at least who hired him, but is not cooperating with the police. In this day and age, with soldering irons costing as little as a tenner, it really shouldn't be too hard to make such bottom feeders cooperate. Plenty of us would happily pay for the soldering iron, or even administer it.
    37
  1527. There is no real difference between holding someone down and forcibly vaccinating them, and making their life very difficult, or even impossible, if they don't get vaccinated. If you provide the means by which to discriminate against those not vaccinated then this is just the same as forcing vaccination upon them. Therefore vaccine passports are totally unacceptable. The only places that forced medical treatment on others were the Nazi and Japanese death camps!
    37
  1528. The trouble is that TTK's replacement would be just as bad, and maybe even worse.
    37
  1529. Our roads are in an awful state, so what about work on a chain gang?
    37
  1530. So true! In regard to illegal migrants the amount wasted on paying France and Rwanda, and putting them up in the kind of hotels that most of us can't afford to stay in is eye watering. Years ago even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested using remote, bleak Scottish islands. Not only would this be so much cheaper, it would also be a big deterrent.
    37
  1531. The excerpts of lawyers' advice to the Scottish government, read out on last night's BBC 6pm news, make it very clear that Nicola Sturgeon acted in a manner that was directly contrary to this advice. There is no doubt about this whatsoever. The witch has been caught red-handed, regardless of her protests, and she MUST GO!
    37
  1532. Those responsible for platforming this have committed a TERRORIST CRIME. They should be imprisoned, and deported immediately after serving their sentence, if possible. Of course, I'd favour a much quicker, more efficient, and permanent way of dealing with them!
    37
  1533. All Putin wants is time to rearm and regroup.
    37
  1534. This brings back memories of the atrocities the Russians committed in WW II, like the butchering of 22,000 Polish officers. It would appear that they haven't changed for the better.
    37
  1535. Not just Australia, by far. If you are a half-decent nurse or doctor the US, Canada and New Zealand, to name but three other countries, will welcome you with open arms. Not only will you enjoy better pay, but your working conditions will also improve significantly. The most amazing thing is that anyone stays with the NHS.
    37
  1536. While I'm not a Trump fanboy, there is no question that when it comes to illegal immigration and dealing with Iran he is singing from the same hymn book as most of us.
    37
  1537. Even though I have a house I would love to see house prices crash. Then young people might have the same opportunity to buy a house that I did when I was their age. Also, for those less fortunate, a big fall in house prices might push extortionate rents down.
    37
  1538. What on earth is the point of questioning a pathological liar?
    37
  1539. To every school kid who is seriously academically challenged Gary Lineker is a symbol of hope. He shows them that no intelligence whatsoever is needed to bring home a fat pay cheque.
    37
  1540. Would you let in an organisation that has given many millions of dollars to HAMAS?
    37
  1541. Most of the so-called honours are rewards for cronyism.
    37
  1542. There's an old saying: "the love of money is the root of all evil". And trump loves money more than anything else!
    37
  1543. Anyone remember when mortgage companies would only lend you about 3½ times your salary, when they wouldn't entertain the prospect of lending you money to take a punt on "buy to let"? Isn't it funny how in those days house prices and rents were affordable.
    37
  1544. Perish the thought that Russia ever lies. I wish I'd kept a link to the Russian video that showed shells fired from a wood in winter, which then landed in a field in summer. A true classic in Russian entertainment.
    37
  1545. To Russia with love.🤣
    37
  1546. MI5 should "take care" of these Islamic hate clerics!
    37
  1547. My God! Did Father Christmas visit Boris early, and bring him a pair of balls? Maybe if they are big balls he will soon accept what the South African doctors are saying, about Omicron being EXTREMELY MILD, and also drop Plan B.
    37
  1548. This is indeed very sad, BUT people need to stop playing Hamas's game. Instead of condemning Israel they should be condemning cowardly Hamas for DELIBERATELY using hospitals, schools and refugee camps as bases. By condemning Israel people are rewarding Hamas for adopting such vile policies.
    37
  1549. Good fireworks, but I do miss seeing the pigs running for their lives. Hopefully there were a few inside that got toasted.
    37
  1550. Let's be honest. A lot of those men fleeing, like rats deserting a sinking ship, didn't give a damn about all the murdered Ukrainian women and children. For such men conscription is poetic justice.
    37
  1551. The midwife backed the wrong horse when she kept Starmer instead of the afterbirth.
    36
  1552. Yep, more diversity and cultural enrichment.
    36
  1553. Very nice, but don't leave a job half done. Use some of those Storm Shadows to destroy the other half too. How Putin would cry when his beloved Kerch bridge become completely unusable.
    36
  1554. "Crass Stupidity" Does anyone expect anything different from Dipstick Drakeford?
    36
  1555. Putin is like the school bully explaining to a teacher why he needed to beat the living crap out of the kid half his size. And his reasons are even more implausible.
    36
  1556. This is going to keep happening until Ukraine sends in a few special ops teams to create havoc in Moscow. Many Ukrainians can easily pass as Russian so this shouldn't be that hard. Maybe they need some ex-IRA chaps to go over and give them some training on how to do it.
    36
  1557. I was expecting a crash, but congratulations to India. It's also very nice to see Putin's nose really rubbed in it. I wonder if he will still be friends with Modi?
    36
  1558. “Immigration Can Cause Imbalances In Communities” No s**t Sherlock. If you could take someone from 50 years ago in Enfield and show them the kids queuing after school at our bus stops they would think a copy of Enfield Town had been rebuilt in another country. I imagine much the same could be said for Bradford and many other areas. I'm not going to debate whether this is a good or a bad thing, but it definitely represents a truly massive change in communities.
    36
  1559. Excellent! Let's hope we now see this very effective form of Orc eradication used a lot more.
    36
  1560. Castration, sans anesthésie. Le pilier et les pierres !
    36
  1561. What kind of mother leaves her baby alone in a car?
    36
  1562. The bit at 0:17 showing Orcs escaping is very distressing.
    36
  1563. Isn't it funny how what Starmer is saying sounds EXACTLY the same as what he derided Boris for saying.
    36
  1564. A similar thing goes on in state schools. There is a massive shortage of good STEM teachers. Yet as a UK qualified teacher I have spent the last 10 years privately tutoring A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Why? Because being older, and very experienced, I am considerably more expensive than a newly qualified teacher or on the job trainee.
    36
  1565. So at least three safe havens now: Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
    36
  1566. Did it ever occur to Dummkopfs Scholz, Macron and Johnson that, just maybe, having NATO allies right up against its borders might make Russia a little nervous? I'm not saying Russia is an angel, but history has shown time and again how easy it is for armies to roll across the Russian plane.
    36
  1567. I remember writing a reference for Steve's daughter, when he moved from Berlin to Moscow. I wonder if he is now wishing he had stayed in Berlin, because I wouldn't want to be in Russia now.
    36
  1568. That's really funny, because Putin's strongest support is from older people. Let's see how happy they are to take a lower pension to support him.
    36
  1569. The Russians have always adopted such tactics. In WW II they cold-bloodedly butchered 22,000 defenseless Polish officers at Katyn. They haven't changed since then.
    36
  1570. While I'm all for live and let live, and don't believe in persecuting the LGBT brigade, I don't see why people are expected to be cheerleaders for their cause. And let's be HONEST, most people find what they do disgusting.
    36
  1571. YouTube are deleting most such comments, I've just had to repost in French.
    36
  1572. It's a nice thought, but Wagner are mercenaries, not patriots. I imagine most of them will now be thinking of where the best place to go and hide is, before they also have an "accident".
    36
  1573. Looks more like a cream cake Tsar to me.
    36
  1574. Why am I not surprised to hear this?
    36
  1575. These people should get a free Darwin award with every purchase. If they had any sense they would be rushing for the border rather than wasting time shopping for stuff they won't need when they are dead.
    36
  1576. Rishi would have to grow a spine first!
    36
  1577. We are all waiting for the videos that show German or French weapons being used.
    36
  1578. If there is still any justice in this country then we should eventually see 100's, if not 1000's, of deportations, after lengthy prison sentences. But I won't hold my breath.
    36
  1579. There is no shortage of cases where violent assaults have been carried out and the perpetrator has escaped jail. Almost everyone considers this far more serious than tweeting a few hurty words in the heat of the moment, but apparently not our corrupt Court of Appeal judges.
    36
  1580. With Putin's support in Russia never so weak, now is a really good time for both Two-Tier Kier and Chicken Joe to give Ukraine carte blanche as to how they use long range missiles. Because piling more pressure on Putin at this particular time might just lead to him being "removed".
    36
  1581. If either Sweden or Finland are intent on joining NATO then they could do a lot of good by announcing their intent TODAY. This would seriously undermine Putin's 9th May parade, and increase the likelihood of his "removal" from power.
    36
  1582. Instead of condemning Israel, people should be condemning cowardly Hamas whose modus operandi is almost exclusively to use civilians as shields.
    36
  1583. Given the "Russian preoccupation in Ukraine" this is also the best opportunity ever for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom, along with quite a few other regions whose people don't want to be under Putin's yolk. Such a good chance may never present itself again. Once one region declares its independence it's very likely that the rest will follow in very short order.
    36
  1584.  @Jimmy-yu9xy  The only liars are bed wetting snowflakes like YOU.
    36
  1585. For around 20 years I was one of the very best software developers in the country. I worked in the City, and was very handsomely remunerated for my services. But even top notch people like me expected to find bugs in the new systems we implemented. In fact I was occasionally very surprised (amazed?) by just how few there were in mine. Those in charge at the Post Office should have expected faults in their new Horizon system, and this should have been their FIRST conclusion, rather than blaming 700 people of committing fraud. For not doing so, and wrongly prosecuting all these people they very richly DESERVE jail terms!
    36
  1586. Got to keep those Orcs toasty warm.
    36
  1587. Ceux qui s'attendaient à une longue peine de prison pour avoir cassé le nez d'une policière seront malheureusement déçus. Pour obtenir une telle peine, on doit tweeter quelques mots blessants.
    36
  1588. If the truth had been told from the beginning the public would not have accepted lockdowns, mask or mass vaccination!
    36
  1589. Wonderful. No bloody masks or (un)social distancing.
    36
  1590. This is what happens when you build in flood plains, concrete over too much, and don't have enough trees.
    36
  1591. I'm more concerned about what percentage of GDP gets spent on illegal migrants and benefit fraudsters.
    36
  1592. The guy in the picture at the start was NOT put there by Omicron. In the entire world it may not have killed or hospitalised a single person! As such, this rapidly spreading variant might just bring this pandemic to an end.
    36
  1593.  @callumwilkinson7416  Go stick the vaccine up where you speak out of!
    35
  1594. I've got news for you Julia. The majority of Civil Servants have never worked hard. At least that's what I noticed when I worked for the Home Office over 40 years ago.
    35
  1595. I'd bet a very pretty penny that if there was anti-Muslim chanting the Met would have been only to eager to make arrests!
    35
  1596. A little over 30 years ago I lived in Bray, just outside Dublin, for a little while. What a safe and happy place it was then. The Irish government have sold the people that they are meant to serve down the river.
    35
  1597. There's always a little disappointment when the vehicle isn't moving, because there might not be any Orcs in it to roast.

  1598. ​ @eh1702  There are actually several regions that REALLY want out from under Putin's yoke. I gather Kaliningrad is one of them, and with the only way to mobilise against them through a narrow corridor between Poland and Lithuania (both NATO members) Putin is buggered if they declare independence at the moment!
    35
  1599. Sacking someone who articulated exactly what MOST of us are thinking was an act of gross stupidity and cowardice.
    35
  1600. Steve Barclay is rich enough to get instant access to the best healthcare money can buy. So he doesn't give a damn. Does he also regret how junior doctors' pay has been eroded for years, or that they have to work a DANGEROUS number of hours?
    35
  1601. What's going wrong with our teenagers? Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that there has been bugger all discipline in our schools for about 40 years, with kids being brought up to believe they can do exactly as they please.
    35
  1602. "Demolition charge" is what it would take to cause this kind of damage, as Ukraine most certainly doesn't have the kinds of missiles that could do this. Therefore the only possible perpetrator is Russia. People should also remember that the Russian government has never had a problem murdering its own people, and has a very long record of doing so. The ideological pursuit of collectivization and 5 year plans probably killed millions, and those in the Kremlin didn't lose a minute's sleep over it.
    35
  1603. I wish I'd known more of the background before saying this woman shouldn't go to jail. As bans are clearly not working, and she is clearly a danger to others, I would agree that a jail sentence is appropriate.
    35
  1604. Complete and utter bollocks. Nobody has the right to unlawfully set foot in another country. Our British government could learn a lot from Italy's new right-wing government. Actually these ships shouldn't have been allowed to dock at all. They should have been made to take their passengers back to the country they set sail from.
    35
  1605. Actually Sunak and his cabinet epitomize Conservative values: look after number one, even if it means letting the country go to hell.
    35
  1606. I so love it when the tanks are moving, because that means a couple of roasted Orcs in each.
    35
  1607. This is so wrong, in so many ways! Children can't give informed consent to such trials, and they are not merely their parents chattels, so that BAD parents shouldn't be able to volunteer them, either for monetary gain or to satisfy their own warped ideology. Also, I understand that it is medically unethical to subject patients to treatments that do not benefit them. For anyone healthy under about 25 this virus poses a NEGLIGIBLE RISK. Therefore we should not vaccinate them. Yes, it might benefit others, but once again it is highly unethical to carry out a treatment on one person solely for the benefit of someone else, unless they have given fully informed consent, which is again something children can't do. Buy, of course, during this pandemic our society has tossed a lot of its morals and ethics out the window. If sacrificing 50 virgins to a capricious god could end this pandemic then you can bet your bottom dollar that today's Britain would do it without a second thought.
    35
  1608. Put my arse on the line while Boris and all the rest of the MPs were knocking back the champagne in safe comfortable bunkers. No bloody way! There was a time when the leader LEAD the troops into battle, rather than cowering behind them as they died.
    35
  1609. Well, with autumn rains imminent, and then winter, they really need to shake a leg. Russia made excellent use of last winter's lull to set up these defences, and will do the same again this year, if given the opportunity.
    35
  1610. Very EVIL woman! Those in charge must be jailed.
    35
  1611. I suspect that another very high profile bridge will see extremely heavy use if it is still standing during any agreed ceasefire.
    35
  1612. Is there any strong scientific or statistical evidence that the Indian variant is worse? No! Are more people ending up in hospital or dying because of it? No! Then there's need for making such a bloody fuss about it, or having any extra restrictions.
    35
  1613. Here's more history. When Lebanon was a Christian country it was peaceful, prosperous, and a favourite destination for rich holidaymakers.
    35
  1614. China has its "reeducation camps" Australia its "well camps". Not a lot of difference.
    35
  1615. If I were Charlie I'd be getting a DNA test to see if Harry really was my son!
    35
  1616. Living in a democracy means accepting that others have the right to say things that offend you.
    35
  1617. Maybe someone needs to explain to Putin's generals that trees, crops and apartment blocks aren't military targets.
    35
  1618. Orban saying what Putin wants him to say. No surprises there.
    35
  1619. I wonder how many people will be admitted to hospital with food poisoning if this happens. If power is cut to fridges and freezers a lot of food will go off. But in this economic crisis many will eat it anyway. Also, even if gas is delivered to people's homes, neither their cookers (safety features) or central heating will work without electricity.
    35
  1620. One is left dumbfounded by the stupidity and fickleness of most UK voters. Did they really not realise this BEFORE giving Labour an overwhelming majority?
    35
  1621. Or do you mean the pre-dictator age?
    35
  1622. Perhaps if Macron had yielded to the democratic process and had a vote, instead of acting like a dictator, then we wouldn't be seeing this violence. Of course, he might have lost the vote, but that's how democracy works. The majority does always agree with what you want to do.
    35
  1623.  @markellott5620  So true. There was a postman around here who thought I was Satan incarnate for not getting vaccinated. He got even more upset when I mentioned the Israeli and Cleveland reports, showing that my natural immunity was vastly better than what he got from his vaccinations.
    35
  1624. When one remembers that the deputy PM left school pregnant at 16 with no qualifications, and didn't subsequently get any significant ones, is it really that hard to comprehend?
    35
  1625. Calling Putin an animal is insulting to animals: unless they are rabid.
    35
  1626. When we are dealing with the TACO it's best to curb ones enthusiasm until delivery!
    35
  1627. Rau is spot on. It's absolutely essential that no country so much as thinks that resorting to nuclear weapons can gain it any advantage.
    35
  1628. Exactly what Hamas hoped to achieve when THEY attacked the hospital!
    35
  1629. Not a single penny should be paid in dividends or bonuses until Thames Water cleans up its act!
    35
  1630. All those in NATO countries who love freedom and democracy will very warmly welcome Finland's and Sweden's membership. If Turkey tries to block this then Turkey should be kicked out of NATO!
    35
  1631. It's horrifying to think of wide boys like this being allowed to practice medicine. Imagine if your doctor was far more interested in collecting his pay cheque from a big pharma company than looking after your health.
    35
  1632. MOST Brits are in complete agreement with Suella's comments on biased police and hate marches.
    35
  1633. Lack of evidence doesn't always mean that something isn't the case. This is especially so when police and government will go to almost any lengths to hide anything that might cause racial tensions.
    35
  1634. I won't hold my breath waiting for any of them to be jailed for their CRIMINAL activities.
    35
  1635. You've got to love the way the Russians shell those who are meant to be their buddies. As the old saying goes: "with friends like these ..."
    35
  1636. It really looks as if it has got to the stage where people need to take a stand against the Downing Street dictators and simply ignore all these insane rules. They can only be enforced if enough people are compliant. And those policemen, and women, out there who are decent need to prioritise fighting REAL crime, of which there's no shortage to keep them very busy, instead of acting like Hancock's Gestapo.
    34
  1637. Olaf Scholz, the world is watching to see how quickly you respond to this request!
    34
  1638. It is irrefutably true that those who wash up in British territorial waters have set off from France. So return them to France whether the French like it or not. If the French won't let them land then dump them in French waters, far enough south that they can't head back to our shores and have to head to France.
    34
  1639. I knew there was a reason I've always had absolute contempt for Twitter and never bothered with it.
    34
  1640. There's no doubt that Sunak is a spineless, incompetent, idiot. But anyone expecting that Starmer will do any better is very seriously deluded. Starmer cares about one thing, and one thing only: getting his foot in No.10. He will promise absolutely anything in order to achieve this goal. Once there he will deliver nothing.
    34
  1641. He had impeccable references from the Hamas run Gaza heath authority.
    34
  1642. It used to be the cornerstone of our justice system that all people are equal before the law, and that ignorance of it was no defence. Any decent, honest judge, worthy of his/her position, will very publicly refute these execrable new guidelines.
    34
  1643. It's like exterminating vermin on a farm. You can never kill enough!
    34
  1644. A mad dog might whimper and crawl away for a while, but eventually it WILL return to bite you!
    34
  1645. For the sake of America, and indeed the entire free world, BOTH the Republicans and the Democrats urgently need to find new leaders!
    34
  1646. My heartfelt congratulations to all who contributed to this successful landing.
    34
  1647. Perhaps Dr. Campbell would also like to do a similar presentation on medical ethics. In particular I'm thinking about the bits that say that treatments must have a substantial benefit for the patient, AND must not be mainly for the benefit of a third party. Because on this basis, even if these mRNA vaccines had undergone years of phase III trials, which they didn't, over 90% of the population would NOT have been vaccinated with them.
    34
  1648. If we had had Thatcher, instead of a coward, she might well have listened to the REAL experts. Just the most vulnerable would have been isolated, and we would now have been enjoying proper herd immunity and an economy that was the envy of the world.
    34
  1649. It's amazing that so many people are still taken in by Gove. This creature would have his own mother out on the street turning tricks if it furthered his career.
    34
  1650. If someone has no right to be in a country then does it seem unreasonable that they are returned to where they have just come from? If France had been more diligent and practiced this policy itself then there wouldn't be this problem.
    34
  1651. Don't hold you breath waiting for a prosecution. In the extremely unlikely event that it goes to court the judge or magistrate will let him off.
    34
  1652. The verdict and sentencing in his upcoming trial were already decided before he was even arrested.
    34
  1653. All you need to know about Labour is that if you are a decent, hardworking person, or are now retired, after spending 40 to 50 years working hard, then Labour hate and despise you. It really is that simple.
    34
  1654. MOST MPs lack a "shred of human decency"!
    34
  1655. Harry ought to concentrate on being a house husband while Megan pays the bills by getting a few B movie rolls.
    34
  1656. Imagine wanting to be a hero for Putin.
    34
  1657. This activist richly deserved his kicking!
    34
  1658. Playing musical chairs with incompetents doesn't make them more competent!
    34
  1659. Hardly unexpected, as Orcs don't distinguish their own from the enemy.
    34
  1660. Between this rabid Putin supporter buying the farm and Finland joining NATO tomorrow I'm thinking of putting a bottle of champagne in the fridge.
    34
  1661. I'm listening very hard, but I can't hear so much as a whisper from the UN, BBC, or anyone else, about war crimes and Kurdish women and children being murdered.
    34
  1662. Excellent hit! If only the drone was big enough to bring the building down. But hopefully there will be lots more hit to come in this part of Moscow. Plenty of large high profile buildings that are hard to miss.
    34
  1663. As I've been saying for sometime now, with Putin so badly weakened there has never been a better time to make a bit for independence from the Russian Federation. And once one region does so several others will do the same almost immediately.
    34
  1664. When MPs start quitting because of Muslim Fundamentalists you know you've got a problem that urgently needs fixing, by whatever means necessary!
    34
  1665. Schools and teachers aren't perfect, but neither are students. Unfortunately a fair number of parents think that their kids are angels who can do no wrong, and give 100% in every lesson. I've just had to get a review about me removed because a Y12 boy told his stepmother a whole raft of lies, which she accepted without question, or even bothering to contact me about what he had said.
    34
  1666. It's always been Moscow's way to send others, from its distant regions, to die for its sins.
    34
  1667. Very gratifying. Especially as it's certain that a few pigs got roasted.
    34
  1668. Maybe the SNP need to promise that every Scot will get a free £100,000 camper van after independence.
    34
  1669. Is it worth the effort for a party that's now third in the polls? She would be better off joining Reform UK.
    34
  1670. Sounds just like the UK.
    34
  1671. Let's give Ukraine all the armaments it needs, including tanks, so that it can turn the expected Russian offensive into a damn good turkey shoot. You can never kill too many Orcs, or kill them fast enough.
    34
  1672. Unlike the Russians, it looks like Ukraine respects the Geneva Convention, and is treating its POWs well.
    34
  1673. So being a pedophile, or physically assaulting someone merit a suspended sentence, but a few hasty words that weren't really meant deserve a long prison sentence. In Russia the courts do what Putin tells them to. In the UK they do what TTK tells them to. And in neither case does justice have anything to do with it.
    34
  1674. Well it could be far worse. Kiwis could be stuck in Australia.
    34
  1675. Several cases against vaccine mandates have now been won in the courts. As American law is based on precedent, unless the judges are corrupt, overturning mandates should be a slam dunk.
    34
  1676. I voted Reform UK. But sadly I think Labour is now in a position to do more or less whatever pleases them. The only thing that will hold them back is the fear of a blood-bath on the streets if they do anything too radical.
    34
  1677. This is precisely why Ukraine needs to be given the kind of weapons that can prevent this. They need to be able to destroy the fuel depots and railway lines on the RUSSIAN side of the border, which are essential to Russian mobilisation. They also need to be able to take out Russian ships in the Black Sea that are shelling the crap out of their southern cities.
    34
  1678. How are we going to convince Turkey? Well a really good start would be for those with some moral compass to cancel any holidays that they have booked there. Spend your tourist euros and dollars in Greece instead. Greece has just as much to offer!
    34
  1679. Andrzej Duda is absolutely right about the maintenance. It's a very skilled job keeping these jets in the air, and the specialist training takes quite some time. However, rather than giving away jets, there are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash to be given the chance to paint downed Orcs on their jets.
    34
  1680. Let's put it this way. If Trump thought the "deal" was good enough then he would sell his own mother without a second's hesitation or remorse.
    34
  1681. Isn't it strange how in so many civilized and highly developed countries border security and immigration is most people's biggest concern. Are hundreds of millions of people all wrong, and just a few politicians right?
    34
  1682. They aren't afraid to risk people's jobs and businesses, and the education and mental heath of young people!
    34
  1683. When you look at the ethnicity of the judge this comes as no surprise. But what's even worse is that this judge hasn't been sacked or even suspended.
    34
  1684. It really is hard to appreciate just how incredibly thick most politicians are. This is a strategy that has been tried many times before, in many places, and it has always failed. But perhaps thick isn't the right word. Repeatedly adopting a strategy that fails is a sign of a mental disorder.
    34
  1685. Did anyone seriously expect Labour to do anything to stop the boats? Hell, by proposing to give residence to 100,000 illegals Starmer is positively encouraging the small boats to come!
    33
  1686. Often details of budgets are leaked in order to test the water. I have the ominous feeling that hardly anything about this coming one has because it will go down as a very dark moment in this country's history. Am I the only one expecting something truly awful?
    33
  1687. If like me, teachers bothered to ask students why they wore a hijab they would find that many only do so because they are forced to. And a lot of those who say otherwise are also being coerced into what they say. Banning the hijab in school does most young girls a massive favour.
    33
  1688. Well let me see. What poses the bigger risk, not being able to get prompt treatment in an emergency, or being treated by a perfectly healthy doctor or nurse who just happened to test positive for the EXTREMELY MILD Omicron variant? Most primary school kids could answer this one for you. Let's also remember that Starmer has tested positive 6 times. Only those who aren't allowed sharp objects believe that he has had covid-19 6 times.
    33
  1689. Let the bloody "vulnerable", most of whom contribute nothing to society, isolate. The other more than 99% have been crucified just for them. Those who are frightened can isolate at their own expense. Everyone else needs to get back to work and damn well earn their keep. This has been true for a long time. It is even more true for this EXTREMELY MILD Omicron variant.
    33
  1690. And ignoring the evidence of your own eyes, that there is two-tier policing is also insane. We've all seen multiple examples of it. Yet Starmer, and his police chief cronies, want us to deny the evidence of our own eyes.
    33
  1691. Because Sunak is completely spineless!
    33
  1692. If Afghans had had the kind of courage that Ukrainians display all the time, instead of being abject cowards, then the Taliban wouldn't be in control!
    33
  1693. Time to go down to William Hill and place bets on how long it will take Putin to break the deal. I'd say less than one week.
    33
  1694. Amazing isn't it. In the last two years we've seen people persecuted for sitting on a park bench or going for a walk. But, certain groups can rape and abuse teenage girls to their hearts content, with the full blessing of our police.
    33
  1695. I never tire of seeing moving vehicles taken out like this, because you know at least one Orc has been well roasted.
    33
  1696. "Properly held to account" means that those who suppressed evidence, leading to innocent people going to jail and having their lives ruined, should themselves be jailed. That may well include some Post Office lawyers.
    33
  1697. Whatever one might think of Cummings, there is no question that his assessment of Hancock is right on the money. You would be safer writing a blank cheque for a secondhand car salesman than trusting Hancock.
    33
  1698. Orc always tastes best when it's cooked hangi-style.
    33
  1699. No decent person supports the riots. But the best way to reduce the chance of them reoccurring is to address the very real underlying issues, which Starmer refuses to acknowledge even exist. Instead he chooses to insult and persecute those who point out what those issues are.
    33
  1700. Peace talks with someone like Adolf Hitler have always made about as much sense as Chamberlain's peace talks in Munich.
    33
  1701. Here in Enfield I laid my bins on their side last night, just in case, but we've had hardly a breeze.
    33
  1702. In the spirit of celebration, a few more strikes today, deep behind enemy lines, would really bolster the festivities.
    33
  1703. Lots more of this to come. And let's not forget that there are regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. Maybe this will spur them into action. Putin is now considerably weakened so there's never been a better time to escape from under Moscow's tyranny.
    33
  1704. Suella Braverman, several times now, has expressed exactly what MOST of us think and feel!
    33
  1705. Now, while Russia has all that it can handle in Ukraine, would be the perfect time for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom. There are several other regions that also really want out of the Russian Federation that would also rise up if they did. It only takes one brave region to start the dominoes falling. There has never been a better time to take back ones freedom from Russia!
    33
  1706. I'd much rather a cold sunny day than an overcast rainy one.
    33
  1707. No more drones from Iran, and the humiliation of not being able to do anything to help them.
    33
  1708. Reminds me of the Fawlty Towers sketch: "Don't mention the long-range missile strikes. I did, but I think I got away with it."
    33
  1709. To paraphrase Bill & Ted: "an excellent fire, my friend".
    33
  1710. I've never been affected by inheritance tax, but I'm honest and decent enough to recognise what a totally unjust and evil tax it is, that only the envious support. We pay tax on our earnings, on any profit we might make in other ways, and on our purchases. It's truly wicked to take a cut of what parents want to pass on to their children, especially when they are probably grieving their loss, and finding it hard enough to just get on with life.
    33
  1711. Some of us are old enough to remember when Lebanon was the jewel of the Middle East, with the rich flocking there to enjoy it's beaches. Mad dog Islamic Fundamentalists turned it from a little bit of paradise into hell!
    33
  1712. One really has to ask whether this would be happening to anywhere near the same degree if we had given Ukraine the long range missiles it needed to take out the sites, in Russia from which these strikes are being launched: and encouraged them to take out these legitimate targets.
    33
  1713. If these conscripts want to live then they should turn their newly received weapons on their officers, and then surrender to the Ukrainians.
    33
  1714. Well, last Christmas we had the Delta variant con. Surely people were expecting "Return of the Scary Variant", the sequel.
    33
  1715. That image is terrifying. Those clots could block blood vessels, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or gangrene and amputations. The more I see and hear the more relieved I am to be a pure blood.
    33
  1716. Voltaire is reputed to have said something like: "I may detest what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it".
    33
  1717. Putin saying one thing, and doing another. What a surprise.
    33
  1718. One thing we know for certain is that YET AGAIN an innocent, helpless child has been let down by social services. And this will keep on happening because every time those in responsible in social services get to walk away without any punishment for their complicity in the murder of a child!
    33
  1719. All over Europe, honest decent people are sending deaf governments the same message. They have had enough of totally inappropriate migration, which threatens their safety, their values and their culture.
    33
  1720. Am I the only one to notice that instead of this enquiry fattening the wallets of so many lawyers, millions of pounds could have been given to every single Grenfell victim?
    33
  1721. Trying to sell the Conservatives these days is like trying to sell a perfume that smells like sh*t!
    33
  1722. Keep up the good work Ukraine.
    33
  1723. Maybe they should also allow the introduction of brothels and opium dens, as the taxes from these would allow even bigger tax cuts.
    33
  1724. How it must have upset Putin that ISIS very publicly, and quickly, claimed responsibility for this. With so many younger people against the war in Ukraine, and supporting Navalny, it would have been wonderful if he could have pinned this on Ukraine. So, he's now trying to make it seem that Ukraine facilitated this atrocity.
    33
  1725. And it also whistles the Russian national anthem at the same time.
    33
  1726. Ich habe gerade eben auf Englisch gesagt: Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, den Druck zu erhöhen, besonders bevor Trump Präsident wird. Warum hat YouTube das gelöscht?
    33
  1727. FFS, let's just use a few SAMs to take his return flight from Iran out!
    33
  1728. Excellent! This is but a tiny taste of what Ukrainian women and children have been suffering for 18 months. Hopefully Muscovites will get a much bigger taste, because they need to understand that an unprovoked attack on another country has serious consequences. If the want it to stop then they need to "remove" Putin.
    33
  1729. Why is it police feel able to give the age of the suspect but no details about his ethnicity?
    33
  1730. What those in Victoria need to ask themselves is whether they are prepared to keep such a pathetic man who acts out of “sheer petulance”. Dan needs to be forcibly taken and thrown into the middle of those construction workers.
    33
  1731. Schools can't stand being criticised, especially when those criticisms are valid. Until recently you could get an idea of what many schools were like, from Google Reviews. I posted comments on quite a few that were completely factual and much appreciated by parents. Unfortunately thin-skinned headteachers managed to persuade Google to remove all school reviews, so now it's very hard for parents to get an independent review on a school. Before someone suggests it, no sensible person believes a word that Ofsted says.
    33
  1732. The only thing going hypersonic is Poo Tin's pathetic and ever more desperate threats.
    33
  1733. From what's coming out of South Africa, this variant hasn't killed a single person. It also appears to be the case that those in hospital with it were in for something else, and just had it detected as part of routine tests. I've been calling it the Fluffy Kitten variant, but I guess a safe variant that might give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY, and end this pandemic, doesn't make for a riveting news story.
    33
  1734. An honest politician. If only more UK politicians, and supreme court judges displayed such honesty, and a little courage.
    33
  1735. Never forget, and never forgive!
    33
  1736. Maybe slightly off topic, but it reminds me of my late brother, who was a solicitor, telling me how he had told a divorcing couple "You can either sort the settlement out reasonably among yourselves and each get half, or you can take it to court. Then each of you will get a third, and I will also get a third".
    32
  1737. ​ @jabiraidan  That reminds me of conversations I used to have when I lived in Ireland. I can well remember Irish business men screwing the hell out of their own countrymen, and being bloody proud about it!
    32
  1738. I only hope there were some Orcs in it that got roasted.
    32
  1739. Putin must not be allowed to keep a single inch of Ukrainian territory, and that includes Crimea. The best chance of long term peace, and security for other countries, is Putin's complete and utter humiliation, leading to his removal from power.
    32
  1740. Ah, a private college salivating at the prospect of getting rid of it's expensive teachers. Having a teacher physically present will always be the gold standard. Now, replacing school management with AI is definitely something worth looking at.
    32
  1741. What Truss failed to realise is that economic conditions often preclude us doing what we would like to do. Even those without any degree, let alone one from Oxbridge could tell you that. The U-turns were absolutely necessary, but sacking Kwasi was a cowardly and dishonest thing to do as he was only doing EXACTLY what Truss had told him to.
    32
  1742. Lukashenko's regime has been kept in power not just by his army, but by Putin's support. Putin is no longer in a position to maintain that support, and the loyalty of a sizeable percentage of his army is now very questionable. There's a real opportunity for a patriotic and ambitious Belarusian general, with troops who are loyal to him.
    32
  1743. Yep. Show your love for the Orcs by keeping them really warm.
    32
  1744. Of course invading Ukraine and levelling some of its cities wasn't at all provocative.
    32
  1745. It's like watching a rat infestation being cleared from a farm yard, though I'd feel more sympathy for rats.
    32
  1746. What a wonderful New Year's present for the Orcs. I'm hoping to see many more such presents on Russian Orthodox Christmas, in a few days time.
    32
  1747. I keep hearing tales of people who prefer to believe whatever Putin says rather than accept what relatives tell them they have seen with their own two eyes. In free countries most of us know that, with very rare exceptions, "an honest politician" is an oxymoron.
    32
  1748. Formerly, two cornerstones of our (previously much fairer) justice system were that all are equal before the law, and that ignorance of the law is no defence. Any honest, decent judges that we have left need to very publicly refute these new guidelines!
    32
  1749. NO!!! Most of us voted Reform UK because we have total contempt for the Tories. This will lose Reform UK my vote and many others.
    32
  1750. Far better to have Boris back than Rich Boy Sunak, the pension thief.
    32
  1751. Most Slavic countries are already united in their determination that Putin will be defeated.
    32
  1752. The West is not going to give in to a blackmail tactic that will then be used again and again. The only way this will happen is if those keeping Putin in power are mad enough not to "remove" him before he initiates it. Within minutes of any such strike on a NATO member all Russia's major cities would be obliterated. Do Russians really want this for their children, just to satisfy some psychopath's vanity? Those pushing this are old men, who have lived most of their lives, and have very little left to lose.
    32
  1753. Let's call this out for exactly what it is. It's DISHONEST. There's no difference between doing this and putting the price up except that it's a deliberate attempt to mislead customers. When the contents is reduced, or ingredients changed, companies should be obliged by law to display the fact very prominently on the packaging.
    32
  1754. The warning at the beginning was so right. It was very distressing to see some Orcs escaping.
    32
  1755. Let's not forget that if Brazil were to cut down every last tree in the Amazon then China would take the timber, and the beef subsequently grown (for just a few years) on the cleared land, without the slightest concern that the ecology of the entire planet could be destroyed.
    32
  1756. Correct. As in the case of young girls being abused, the police really don't want to arrest those of certain ethnicities or religious beliefs.
    32
  1757. Does anyone really think that the threat of being transferred to a comfortable tropical location would ever have been much of a deterrent? Now if those landing illegally were IMMEDIATELY transferred to one of our remote islands then maybe the torrent of small boats would have abated long ago.
    32
  1758. So each time you give someone a damn good kicking in the balls they take longer to recover. Strange that.
    32
  1759. Casting my mind back, 40 to 50 years, I recall that hating Israel and supporting the PLO was a right of passage for poor little rich kids, desperately wanting to give their pathetic lives some meaning. Looks like things haven't changed.
    32
  1760. I love the way the FSB is referred to as an intelligence agency, when they are nothing but a bunch of goons.
    32
  1761. Take as much back before winter as possible and cut off the supply lines so that the Orcs freeze and starve. The supply lines from Belgorod now appear to be seriously disrupted. This makes the Kerch Bridge a very tempting target, as supplies would then be cut off at both ends.
    32
  1762. Excellent! This is but a tiny taste of what Ukrainian women and children have been suffering for 18 months. Hopefully Muscovites will get a much bigger taste, because they need to understand that an unprovoked attack on another country has serious consequences. If the want it to stop then they need to "remove" Putin.
    32
  1763. This is precisely why we call them Orcs. Orcs prey on the weak and the defenceless, but get slaughtered when they go up against soldiers.
    32
  1764. This breaks all the rules on appointing politically neutral ambassadors.
    32
  1765. Money for security is being spent on housing illegal migrant in plush hotels. We've also got a poorly maintained fighter jet now stuck in Kerala.
    32
  1766. Listen to the judge's name. It's little wonder that he let these despicable women off.
    32
  1767. Am I the only one who feels nauseated listening to none too bright toadies like Harper?
    32
  1768. Those cluster munitions, which have now been in Ukraine for a few days would make things a lot easier. They need to be USED NOW!
    32
  1769. Without a vote is the hallmark of a dictator!
    32
  1770. Most Americans also have distain for her and Harry.
    32
  1771. As I said elsewhere, a few summers ago I was coming back from a walk on a stiflingly hot day. I came across a dad and his two sons dressed in shorts and T-shirts, but the poor mother was swaddled from head to toe in a black burqa. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. This is ABUSE of women! Even the hajib, when forced upon girls and women is misogyny. I've had Muslim students tell me that they only wear it because their parents force them to. However, I expect most UK teachers would be far too frightened to ask their students if this were the case.
    32
  1772. Putin doesn't like being top of the naughty list.
    32
  1773. Losing count of how many times this happened, but Putin did promise denazification.
    32
  1774. As long as it doesn't prejudice Sweden's membership, getting Finland in quickly is important in view of its very long border with Russia. As well as military reasons, having NATO stationed along another 832 miles of the Russian border will embarrass and humiliate Putin even more.
    32
  1775. If that's true then it's really good news. If only it were thousands of Orcs each day.
    31
  1776. UK foreign aid is similarly squandered, while our NHS, education, and many other services are on the brink of collapse.
    31
  1777. OK, I admit it. I'm hooked on watching Russian MoD videos. I've set myself the challenge of finding one that actually shows a real target, rather than just a field or a tree being hit. So far I've failed in this challenge abysmally.
    31
  1778. There are an awful lot of NATO pilots kicking their heels who would dearly love the chance to help out in Ukraine, be that keeping the skies Orc free, or clearing out the trenches of them.
    31
  1779. I wonder how many Russian mums, dads and wives have been told that their loved ones are alive and well and fighting for the motherland, when they are now a corpse rotting on the battlefield.
    31
  1780. It was a special operation to feed the hungry crabs on well roasted Orc.
    31
  1781. I'm not condoning these and other riots. But even half-wit MPs should have been able to see that stuff like this has been coming to the boil for the last few years. Decent, hardworking British people are sick of successive governments letting in tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and then spending a fortune, of our taxes, on them. We are sick of seeing others who despise our culture, values and laws being legally granted residence: especially those who end up on benefits. And we are outraged that those who commit crimes are not summarily deported.
    31
  1782. Time and time again France has suffered atrocities committed by people who have no place in a civilised country. Due to a colonial legacy they have far too many such people. We need to learn, every quickly, from France's mistake!
    31
  1783. Proud to have had a Polish father. Well done Poland!
    31
  1784. It's very easy to make promises when you are not going to be called on to deliver them!
    31
  1785. Sadly, this is a very old Russian tactic. Bring in troops from a remote region so that they feel no kinship or empathy for those they are butchering.
    31
  1786. Kill all the snowflakes now!!!!!!
    31
  1787. Five pigs initially. I could only see one running around after. So hopefully 4 got roasted.
    31
  1788. Just get rid of the bloody masks. People shouldn't have to go round with nappies on their face.
    31
  1789. If the government, police and courts don't do their job properly these people, and far more than just them, may well resort to a lot more than just chanting!
    31
  1790. Very true. A couple of sayings come to mind: "Cowards never truly live" And the Gurkha motto: "Better to die than live as a coward"
    31
  1791. Maybe those 77.000 don't want to live in a Nazi state, supported by Gestapo police.😉
    31
  1792. If we had a decent, honest government then we could look forward to a fair number of BENT lawyers going to jail, but I won't hold my breath on this happening.
    31
  1793. A coward, and an incompetent, crawling out of the rat hole he was hiding in now that he thinks it's safe.
    31
  1794. An expensive aircraft and some trained Orcs that it will be harder to replace. A job well done.
    31
  1795. All these bans are down to commercial foraging by people who do not belong in this country!
    31
  1796. The trouble with a mad dog is that you never know when it will turn on you. This is even more so when both parties are mad dogs.
    31
  1797. The only language that the Houthis understand! But as they are very dim it will have to be repeated often for it to sink in.
    31
  1798. He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind!
    31
  1799. Perhaps if Ukraine had kept up the drone attacks on Moscow, and other locations in Russia, then the Russians might have thought a bit about the consequences of launching attacks on civilians. But because attacks on Russia are so incredibly rare the Russians KNOW that they can use drones and missiles anywhere in Ukraine with impunity.
    31
  1800. We need to get these tanks to Ukraine ASAP, as hunting Orcs in winter makes their survival much less likely. Germany also has to stop blocking Finland and Poland from sending Leopard tanks to Ukraine: and send some itself. I often think that Germany secretly wants Putin to win.
    31
  1801. And what might those military targets be? Maternity hospitals, kindergartens and elementary schools.
    31
  1802. Have those pro-Hamas students been expelled from the University?
    31
  1803. Despite the cheering of Putin's fanboys, I suspect that what we are seeing is an extremely stupid poker player, with an incredibly weak hand, trying to bluff against a Royal Flush.
    31
  1804. Now you know why people from all the other states snigger whenever Alabama is mentioned. This is like saying that an acorn is an oak tree.
    31
  1805. There are many areas where going cashless is completely stupid. Should a kid have to use plastic to buy a few sweeties? Is your window cleaner now going to have to carry a mobile card reader and pay some of his small fee as commission? Of course, it gives a government, who might want to coerce you into having a poorly tested vaccine that you don't need, great power over you.
    31
  1806. How about Northern Ireland leaves the Union? Then it can rejoin the EU. No one in the rest of the UK will mind in the least.
    31
  1807. Nazis de-Nazifying Nazis.
    31
  1808. For over a year I have been saying that once one region strikes a blow for independence from the Russia Federation then others will quickly follow. Putin knows and fears this too.
    31
  1809. To paraphrase an old saying: "If you want a friend in Westminster then get a dog"
    31
  1810. Israel tries hard not to kill civilians. But for Hamas and Hezbollah defenseless women and children are the main target. While either of these terrorist groups exist another October the 7th is more likely a question of when rather than if.
    31
  1811. Haven't we got a remote Scottish island we could hold them on. This would be very much cheaper and more practical. It might also be a stronger deterrent than nice warm Rwanda.
    31
  1812. Does Truss give a toss about the millions of poor and struggling OAPs? Tax cuts will do bugger all for them. If she did care then she would promise to undo Rich Boy Sunak's cheating them out of their triple lock.
    31
  1813. Believe it or not I've been the cause of several managers losing their jobs. They thought their position gave them the power over me, but discovered just how wrong they were. Doctors need to have the guts to do what's right, and their colleagues need to have the guts to support them.
    31
  1814. Actually equating more in vitro antibodies with immunity is complete nonsense. Once you have enough to do the job that's fine. This fetish with keeping antibody count sky high is like saying that while a bowl of water will put out a trash can fire, taking a fire hose to it would be better. Repeated boosters may in fact be dangerous, as nature, with over a billion years of evolution to practice with, doesn't do it this way.
    31
  1815. Good riddance to bad rubbish! If Dick had prioritised REAL crime over breaking up peaceful demonstrations, and persecuting people for sitting on park benches then Sarah Everard would most definitely still be alive. And the way she dealt with the vigil was unspeakably despicable.
    31
  1816. With less than 60,000 inhabitants Greenland definitely needs strong allies, to protect it from the likes of Putin and Emperor Xi. However, Greenlanders must be free to choose those alliances and the terms of them.
    31
  1817. Almost all of the Australian government, and their Gestapo police force, should be facing a Nuremberg style trial, for their crimes against the Australian people.
    31
  1818. Oh deary, deary me. Look at all those naughty doctors and scientists, and many others, suggesting that an EXTREMELY MILD variant displacing more dangerous ones might be really good news. And many have the gall to suggest that it might even quickly, and safely spread proper herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.
    31
  1819. Nobody familiar with Russian history will be in the least surprised by this. In WW II the Russians butchered 22,000 unarmed Polish officers, who were their POWs, at Katyn. This was just one of many similar atrocities. Russia hasn't changed one iota since then.
    31
  1820. Trouble is that only the Hamas supporters are laughing.
    31
  1821. If Blow Job and Hancock were 100% certain of vaccine safety and wanted to convince as many people as possible to have it, then we would be watching both of them, the rest of the cabinet, and lots of the Royal family getting vaccinated. In fact, all their kids and grand kids would be even more convincing.
    31
  1822. For several decades many of us have said that people shouldn't be allowed to have holiday homes. Why should selfish, greedy people be allowed to have more than one home, and price others out of having any at all?
    31
  1823. I don't know what the "strict diet" is, but hat is one fat squirrel. No wonder she doesn't want to leave. Hoisting all that lard up a tree would be hard work.
    31
  1824. Isn't it funny how despite all the child protection paranoia we are now buggering up far more kids lives than ever before.
    30
  1825. Most of us in the UK feel exactly the same. Bugger international law! If you enter a country illegally you should be dumped back in the last country you came from, even if that means pushing you out of a plane on a static line parachute.
    30
  1826. It's a very good general rule that those who contribute least, or not at all to society, vote Labour.
    30
  1827. Looks like Raab has been bullied into resigning.🤣🤣🤣
    30
  1828. If working for the NHS was so wonderful we wouldn't have a hemorrhaging of nurses and doctors from it!
    30
  1829. This is not a worrying phenomena. It's a very sound strategy. There's a very famous picture, from the gold rush days, of criminals hanging in downtown San Francisco. Things were very bad, with the authorities letting criminals do as they pleased. After vigilantes hung a good few law and order was restored, and decent folk were safe again.
    30
  1830. Frankly, the big surprise would be finding out that Iran doesn't routinely torture opponents of its regime.
    30
  1831. We need to see some of those UK supplied Shadow Storm missiles used to take out Putin's beloved Kerch bridge, and destroy what's let of Russia's Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol.
    30
  1832. One of the thickest and most inept ministers ever. As the saying goes: good riddance to bad rubbish.
    30
  1833. Yep, the skyscraper successfully intercepted the drone.
    30
  1834. Good luck with that! The UK also deserves to know how (in)effective lockdowns and masks were, and how safe the vaccines were, but don't hold your breath on these either.
    30
  1835. Nothing could be truer. Last winter effectively provided months of ceasefire and Russia benefited massively from it. Hopefully the same terrible mistake won't be repeated this winter.
    30
  1836. A completely illegal arrest that those involved should be sacked for.
    30
  1837. Keep the videos coming. You can never see too many Orcs getting wasted.
    30
  1838. And they say Lukashenko can't tell any jokes.
    30
  1839. The issue is Islamist police!
    30
  1840. No sympathy whatsoever. You may not agree with another countries laws, but if you visit that country on holiday then you respect those laws. It's that simple.
    30
  1841. A fair bit of sense being talked, at last. Now watch the snowflakes get ever more panicked as July 19 approaches.
    30
  1842. Yes Boris, perhaps we can strike a trade deal with them. Quality British riding crops, with which they can beat women.
    30
  1843. Sounds like a Boris Johnson type promise.
    30
  1844. Arrested for holding up a sign saying exactly what the government says. These coppers are well and truly bent!
    30
  1845. I'm sure Ukrainian troops will give the shells back to the Orcs.🤣
    30
  1846. They can do an incredible amount of damage in 5 years!
    30
  1847. There's lots of free software for producing bar codes, and it's been available for over a decade. In fact I used it to produce bar codes when I worked for a company in Berlin. So adding a bar code will make bugger all difference to stamps being forged.
    30
  1848. I loved the one I had as a kid.
    30
  1849. I feel sorry for the pagers.
    30
  1850. Police grow a spine? But they are incredibly brave when it comes to arresting women at a peaceful vigil for someone raped and murdered by one of their own. And they don't hesitate to go after anyone whenever there is even the slightest suspicion that they are doing something anti-Muslim.
    30
  1851. Very nice job. Keep up the good work.
    30
  1852. I won't comment on the rights or wrongs in this case, but far too many people are happy to pass judgement, on a highly charged heat of the moment situation, from the comfort and absolute safety of their armchair.
    30
  1853. Whatever Israel needs to do, and however long it takes, every decent person in the world is fully behind Israel. One Holocaust was already one too many. The Jewish people need to defend themselves against those who would like to do what Hitler failed to.
    30
  1854. Being a democratic country means that you respect free speech. It's very easy to do so when people say what you want to hear, but the acid test is sucking it up when people are saying things that you really don't like. If Starmer wasn't so incredibly thick he would understand that while democracy isn't perfect if you try to suppress it, or people feel that it's no longer working, then the consequences can often be very violent.
    30
  1855. Andy the answer to your question is very simple. We will live with covid-19 when enough people have the common sense and the guts to tell the dictators in Downing Street, and their enforcement goons, where to shove their restrictions and mandates.
    30
  1856. If instead of just doing relatively minor damage to a Moscow skyscraper, some decent infrastructure (preferably without loss of life to civilians) could be taken out then this would weaken Putin's position a lot more. A major Moscow transport interchange, bridge, or power station would be an excellent start.
    30
  1857. C’est précisément pour cela qu’il faut augmenter la pression : pour qu’il pousse les Russes sur le bout.
    30
  1858. As myself and others have been saying for many months, attacks on Ukraine civilians aren't going to stop until Moscow gets a really good taste of the same. I'm not advocating murdering Russian civilians, but shopping malls and subways, among many other kinds of infrastructure, are fair game. There must be Ukrainian special ops who could easily pass as Russians in order to carry this out.
    30
  1859. If enough people followed the TV license advice we might be able to put an end to this legalised robbery.
    30
  1860. The wonderful thing about taking out a fighter jet is that they cost a small fortune, and you know you have also got an Orc that took a lot of time and expense to train.
    30
  1861. And some bastard judge in the UK jailed a brave marine for shooting one of these animals.
    30
  1862. Not pro-Palestinian protestors, pro-Hamas anti-Semites!
    30
  1863. I definitely don't hate immigrants. I owe my life and good health to several Indian doctors and dentists. Most of the students I've tutored have come from immigrant parents, and quite a few have been Muslim. In fact I've known some very good kind Muslims. However, what I do hate are those, of any race or creed, who abuse young girls, hate Jews, and want to force their beliefs and values on others.
    30
  1864. Tanks from Germany and one or two other countries are also arriving now. I look forward to hearing about lots of Orcs being mowed down with them in the next few weeks.
    30
  1865. But the whole cabinet is a stinking cesspit of corruption, and with a few brave exceptions most MPs are the same, so where's the pressure to oust Boris going to come from?
    30
  1866. How many people want to see the wearing of ALL face coverings made illegal in the UK. Why won't the government do something that would definitely reduce crime, or at the very least make it easier to catch criminals?
    30
  1867. Is anyone in the least surprised to here things like this?
    30
  1868. People were warned in the strongest terms not to vote for Starmer. They ignored those warnings and are now paying for their incredible stupidity. Unfortunately so are those of us who had the good sense not to vote for either Labour or the Tories.
    30
  1869. People need to just ignore these lockdowns. They can only be enforced if almost everyone behaves like frightened bleating sheep.
    30
  1870. The great thing about being part of NATO is that the UK doesn't have to go it alone, and Uncle Sam is more than a match for Russia.
    30
  1871. Reminds me of the VE day celebrations. However they were better because the dictators had died violent deaths.
    30
  1872. William Hill should start taking bets on when those deliveries will be made. There would be very good odds on any date within the next couple of months. Someone needs to blow up the pipeline supplying Russian gas to Germany. That would remove a lot of the motivation to procrastinate!
    30
  1873. Which is exactly why Ukraine shouldn't allow Putin to keep even one square centimeter of stolen territory, which includes Crimea.
    30
  1874. Imaginez la panique si le pont de Kertch, tant aimé de Poutine, était détruit.
    30
  1875. ‘You Don’t Negotiate With An Axe Murderer!’ Because you know damn well that any promises made will be broken at the first opportunity.
    30
  1876. When it comes to honours and politicians, most of us regard this as pure cronyism. A politician receiving honours should be exceedingly rare. At the moment it's as disgusting as a pedophile handing out sweeties in a playground.
    30
  1877. What a brave nation Russia is, murdering defenseless women and children. This is why it is so important that Putin must gain absolutely nothing from the unprovoked war he started, and why Crimea must also be taken back.
    30
  1878. And yet there are sparsely inhabited, or even uninhabited, Scottish islands that the government could easily set up tents or nissen huts on to cheaply accommodate all these illegal immigrants.
    30
  1879. What's an even bigger problem is that those on this tribunal still have their jobs. Did it ever occur to these idiot judges that: 1. There are lots of different varieties of nuggets, in all countries, that all taste slightly different. 2. That chicken nuggets are not an essential, or even necessarily healthy, part of ones diet. 3. That that many families can't afford to buy chicken nuggets.
    30
  1880. What's urgently needed is a form of probationary membership of the EU, so that Moldova can very quickly get a foot in the door: and maybe similarly for NATO membership. Let's be in no doubt that if it weren't for Ukraine's heroic resistance then Moldova would already have been overrun my Russia.
    30
  1881. How's this for lack of integrity. Labour MPs cheered when this policy was passed. Only somebody very sick cheers a policy that will cause hardship and suffering to so many old people!
    30
  1882. Most of the cannon fodder will be luck if they get given a rusty rifle and half a dozen bullets, let alone flamethrowers.
    30
  1883. What do people expect to happen when you put a dishonest incompetent in charge of a country's finance?
    30
  1884. "No breach of the rules, no party". That sounds like what Boris said, word, for word.
    29
  1885. We NEED these missiles to be used against Russian territory. Specifically, it would be really useful if Ukraine had the means to take out all of Russia's Black Sea naval bases. Also, with the Black Sea fleet removed it might then be much easier to take out the Kerch bridge once and for all. Or maybe it might just take one of these missiles to do that.
    29
  1886. The great thing about Russia videos, which never show a credible target being hit, is that you can use them again and again: especially as they are intended for incredibly thick people who probably won't notice.
    29
  1887. Well done Poland!
    29
  1888. Sunak's incredible incompetence in the handling of ILLEGAL migrants is akin to Fawlty Towers. There's certainly enough material for an entire comedy series. Unfortunately none of us are laughing, and in fact even the fictional Basil Fawlty would do a far better job than Sunak.
    29
  1889. With the unstinting support that Labour and the unions have given to the government's insane lockdowns and restrictions, this is only too obvious. These measurers have disproportionately crucified working men and women, particularly those on lower wages.
    29
  1890. He doesn't need grilling, he needs sacking!
    29
  1891. Putin definitely can't manage a war on another front. So Georgia should seize this opportunity to take back the 20% of its territory that Putin stole from them. Such a good opportunity may never come again, and who knows what other regions might also join the battle if Georgia makes a stand.
    29
  1892. In what dystopian society does a highly qualified doctor have to justify his medical decision to someone with an Economics and Politics degree from a second rate university.
    29
  1893. With Macron saying he shouldn't be humiliated (along with Italy) and Germany not delivering weapons it promised months ago, Putin has reason to be optimistic.
    29
  1894. He will just swap one evil clown for another.
    29
  1895. While Whitty may have been made to feel uncomfortable he definitely wasn't hurt or harmed in any way. Before prosecuting these young men police need to ask themselves what they would have done if this had happened to your average Joe. And we all know that the answer is absolutely nothing. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. Whitty DOES have a lot to answer for. His grossly exaggerated predictions of doom have caused unnecessary pain and suffering to a vast number of people.
    29
  1896. This is exactly the kind of thing many of us have been expecting, with more regions to follow. But insane Trump wants to help Putin avoid the breakup of his evil empire.
    29
  1897. The trouble in most "democracies" is that there's very rarely anyone worth voting for. Usually it's more like choosing between the torturer who is heating up the poker, and the one who is oiling the thumb screws. You don't really want to choose either, which is why people abstain.
    29
  1898. I do wonder if Hesgeth has even heard of Chamberlain's infamous 1938 Munich negotiations. Letting Germany keep Austria and the Sudetenland did not lead to "peace in our time". If Putin's aggression is rewarded in the slightest then he will definitely be back for more. Conversely, if he has nothing to show for the losses he has caused the Russian people then he will almost certainly be "removed", resulting in a genuine chance of lasting peace.
    29
  1899. Looks like a factory that's ripe for a careless smoking accident.
    29
  1900. We need to let our American, British and Polish fighter pilots loose on these Orcs. God knows many are straining at the leash for the chance to paint their Orc score on their jets.
    29
  1901. So, let me get this right. At a time when European unity and solidarity has never been more important, Boris is going to throw a massive spanner in the works. And for what? Just to keep a minority of bigoted protestants happy. A far better solution would be to have a referendum on whether the rest of the UK wants to keep Northern Ireland in it.
    29
  1902. Three crying Putin rent boys so far, in the comments.
    29
  1903. Well if there's "nothing left", and Bakhmut is of no strategic value, then Russia has paid a very high price in dead and wounded for nothing. Bakhmut's value to Ukraine was that Russia was prepared to send its Orcs to the meat grinder. For every brave Ukrainian that died between 5 and 7 Orcs were exterminated, so Bakhmut offered an opportunity too good for Ukraine to walk away from.
    29
  1904. I wonder if most people realise just how many millions the UN has given to Hamas. If they had actually spent it on the Palestinian people then Gaza would already be a Riviera. But then Hamas would have had no support.
    29
  1905. I guess they missed their flight to Qatar.
    29
  1906. All DECENT people back the Canadian truckers!
    29
  1907. Correct me if I'm wrong, but part of the function of embassies is to be there to help expats when there is trouble. Therefore, pulling out the embassy staff first, instead of making them do their JOB, is corrupt and shameful.
    29
  1908. I'm tempted to call this video pathetic, but that would still be too kind.
    29
  1909. Well said. From the wedding, which he didn't attend, most of us have had the feeling that he is one of the relatively few unlucky fathers that get really crap daughters. I also really liked the father's take on the skin colour question. As soon as I heard about this my own thoughts too were that there was a good chance that this was just a question due to idle curiosity, rather than anything racist.
    29
  1910. I worked as a top-notch software developer for over 20 years. Many of those were in the City, where I was very handsomely remunerated for my services. But, brilliant as a lot of my work was, I knew damn well that when I produced a new system there were initially likely to be bugs in it. If there were none, I was very surprised. The DEFAULT assumption when you release a new system is ALWAYS that it will have bugs! No ifs, no buts, no maybes. When accounting discrepancies appeared those in charge at the Post Office should have immediately assumed there were problems with Horizon. Instead they accused 900 innocent people of fraud. For the pain and harm that was needless and recklessly done to these innocent people, those in charge at the Post Office at the time should go to jail!
    29
  1911. I gather that Russians still have access to YouTube, but many are deliberately choosing not to watch anything that contradicts Putin's narrative.
    29
  1912. But are we going to see that Ukraine very quickly gets weapons with the range it needs NOW?
    29
  1913. This parade is to be joined by "Turkeys For Bernard Matthews".
    29
  1914.  @him5695  Have you seen the Jewish babies that were butchered?
    29
  1915. Russian videos up to their usual high standard of clarity. Now let me get this right. We see missiles being launched from a ship, and coincidentally there is a drone or helicopter over the target at the same time to record the missile hitting it. Am I being too cynical?
    29
  1916. Unbalanced reporting. Why weren't we told what these men had done?
    29
  1917. EON tells me that my energy is 100% renewable. So, needless to say, I expect my electricity supply to be uninterrupted!
    29
  1918. If we could secretly film Putin we would probably see him ranting like those famous scenes of Hitler's last days in his Berlin bunker.
    29
  1919. When you've got one of the biggest supplies of Uranium in the world, and extremely stable tectonics, you have to be intensely stupid not to use nuclear power!
    29
  1920. Only someone as severely intellectually challenged as Putin could have failed to foresee this consequence.
    29
  1921. Our police must be seriously ret***ed if they are going after kids for name calling.
    29
  1922. That's like telling people to get behind the Titanic and push.
    29
  1923. Right at the start, the REAL experts warned that lockdowns would be totally ineffective, and just cause an insane amount of damage. Their advice, later published in the Great Barrington Declaration, was to ONLY isolate the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed. This advice was spot on, but government willfully ignored it. What they have done to people is worthy of a Nuremberg style trial, with very severe punishments.
    29
  1924. What a hero. Like a warrior in Lord of the Rings single-handedly taking out lots of filthy Orcs.
    29
  1925. Sadly, the Russian helicopter won this one.
    29
  1926. Yep, this sounds pretty sick. What's also worrying is that Sick Puppy Ltd must have believed that there are plenty of parents out there who would buy this for their daughters.
    29
  1927. It's strange to see people getting so excited about just getting back SOME of their basic human rights. Now if some of the Nazis who stole them were lynched that would be cause for celebration.
    29
  1928. Take off, fly, shoot randomly, land. Yes, it's a Russian MoD video. No military targets were harmed in the making of this video.
    29
  1929. I can cook a nice nutritious meal for about £1. Even if I really push the boat out, I can cook a really good meal for under £5. A pint of bitter and a bag of crisps at home cost about £1.50. So, cutting out pubs and restaurants is a very obvious way to save money.
    29
  1930. This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant, which may well prove to be less bother than a bad cold. People need to refuse to obey ALL restrictions related to it. And good, decent police officers need to focus on REAL CRIME rather than acting as Downing Street's Gestapo.
    29
  1931. The saddest part of this is the trees that had to die in order to eradicate the vermin.
    29
  1932. Thank God we didn't see a couple of Orcs escaping from the tank. That would have been really distressing.
    28
  1933. While I feel sorry for the children, let's not forget that their parents almost certainly know who is in Hamas, and hide and shelter them. Their parents also probably celebrated the murder of Israeli women and children!
    28
  1934. The best way to destroy a party's credibility would be to have Johnson OR Starmer join them.
    28
  1935. Every Russian vehicle destroyed is good news. If a few Orcs get roasted in it it's even better news.
    28
  1936. Anyone else think that yet another nasty disease has escaped from a Chinese lab?
    28
  1937. Probably correct. The important thing was that for every brave Ukrainian that died between 5 and 7 Orcs were slaughtered. The only slight damper on this is that most were prisoners that Russia is happy to see killed off.
    28
  1938. I never tire of seeing Orcs get roasted.
    28
  1939. There are already far too many people in the world. The last thing we need to do is to encourage people to have litters that they can afford to raise properly.
    28
  1940. Expect governments to do all they can to cover up stories like these and/or deny that they have anything to do with these rushed through vaccines. I'm 64 and incredibly relieved and glad that I didn't have any of these covid-19 vaccines.
    28
  1941. You will see crocodiles crying a river of tears before Hancock is sorry for anything other than any misfortune that has befallen himself.
    28
  1942. Does it really matter whether the photo is real? The legal age of consent in the UK is 16, and she was 17. In other words, far from being trafficked first class, and forced to eat caviar and drink champagne during the flight, under English law she was judged competent to give consent, and from the smile on her face it looks like she did so very willingly.
    28
  1943. Having worked for the Home Office I can tell you that it is sorely lacking in people with intelligence and a good work ethic. There are some, but think hens' teeth.
    28
  1944. We need to give Ukraine enough state of the art weapons to enable them to thoroughly slaughter this convoy. Russia, or rather Putin, needs to experience such a devastating and humiliating defeat that it will think twice about ever again attacking another peaceful country.
    28
  1945. In Algeria most people think it's OK for men to beat women.
    28
  1946. Absolutely correct. Rewarding aggression in any degree only encourages more in the future. One would have thought that most people would have learnt this from Chamberlain's "peace in our time" 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. And make no mistake. Putin is every bit as bad and mad as Hitler!
    28
  1947. "A questionable relationship with the truth", in his Eton report. So this is someone who has proved himself to be a liar and a cheat ever since he was a young boy. That explains a lot.
    28
  1948. There are two things particularly galling about this: 1. Many MPs are having their heating bills paid for by the taxpayer, and often those bills are a lot higher than those of most people. 2. While OAPs are freezing and going hungry illegal migrants are being kept toasty warm and well fed in luxury hotels.
    28
  1949. Well said Graham! I trust you will be among the decent, honest MPs who vote against vaccine passports.
    28
  1950. Because almost very minister has a humanities or PPE degree, which any thick bastard can get, they are incapable of thinking through the full consequences of squeezing most people's income. The easiest thing for people to economise on is the hospitality industry. Unfortunately, it employs millions, and many thousands of other businesses supply it. And once all these people are out of work we get the double whammy of them having to be supported by benefits, and having hardly any money to spend themselves. Energy producers in the UK, or in UK territorial waters, must be forced to sell, at very close to cost, or nationalised if they refuse. Although the bombs may not be falling, we are facing something very like a war for survival!
    28
  1951. If tents and/or nissen huts were set up on a remote Scottish island then Legionella wouldn't be a problem. It would also be a lot cheaper, more secure, and a deterrent. Sunak's handling of the ILLEGAL migrant crisis could probably already provide enough material for a hilarious comedy series. The only trouble is that most of us aren't laughing, and the bungling is very far from over.
    28
  1952. I'm betting Penny Wong also throws her knickers in the air whenever she glimpses an image of Putin or Emperor Xi.
    28
  1953. Isn't it funny how politicians only ever get upset and angry when something directly affects them.
    28
  1954. MI5 need to get a picture of everyone attending this protest. Then they need to pay them each a very private "visit"!
    28
  1955. Prigozhin knows that if he doesn't get Putin and his generals first then he's going to get one of Putin's special tea brews, or free base jumping from a window.
    28
  1956. How many are truly "vulnerable"? A few nights ago on the ITV news they had a woman on full benefits who claimed to have MS, but here's the thing. She was putting in full days working in her garden and on a large allotment. I'm sure that many people would agree that if she could do this then she could go out and earn her keep, instead of sponging of the rest of us. I also have a neighbour in her late 50s who has probably never done a full day's work in her entire life, despite being well able to. Employers are crying out for staff, but there are tens of thousands in this country who would rather sponge off the rest of us than earn their keep.
    28
  1957. Surely being against white people, and the traditional values that once made this country great, can't be called prejudiced.
    28
  1958. Most MPs are self-serving, and Starmer has proven himself to be an extremely vindictive PM, so I won't hold my breath waiting for most backbenchers to vote against the cut to the winter fuel allowance.
    28
  1959. Me too. It's bloody inconsiderate of me, isn't it? If I'd taken the jab, and a few boosters, I might not be around to burden the government by collecting my pension in a few months time.
    28
  1960. The music festival and Kibbutz also look like slaughterhouses! And they came a totally unprovoked first!
    28
  1961. My immediate thought. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to see that skyscraper collapse.
    28
  1962. Absolutely, and very successfully so far. Most people are completely unaware of excess deaths, or their likely cause.
    28
  1963. Not once since Oct 7th has the BBC called Hamas a terrorist group, even though it is designated as one by the British government.
    28
  1964. If you really want to know what kind of man this is his comment about vaccinating the over-12s with the Pfizer vaccine says it all. First of all we need to remember that the risk posed by covid-19 to this age group is negligible. Whereas we now KNOW that all these sars-cov-2 vaccines do pose some small risk. In the case of over-12s the risk posed by the vaccine outweighs that of the virus. Now, a cornerstone of medical ethics is that one does not give a patient a treatment if the benefit of that treatment to them (not to somebody else) is outweighed by its risk. But there is a far darker side in relation to the Pfizer vaccine. Some people have experienced heart inflammation. Here is a very plausible explanation as to how this happens, and why it is a major concern. mRNA is injected into the arm muscle to be taken up by those cells, which then produce viral antigens to illicit an immune response. However, some of that mRNA may be taken up by the bloodstream and delivered to the heart, where it is incorporated into heart muscle. The heart muscle then produces viral antigens which the immune system reacts to, causing heart inflammation. Now, what people like me are worried about is the possibility of some of this mRNA making it across the blood-brain barrier and being incorporated into brain tissue. If this happened there might be the possibility, in years to come, of seeing neurodegenerative diseases, like dementia. Even the slight prospect of this happening in young people is truly the stuff of nightmares!
    28
  1965. Corruption at the highest level!
    28
  1966. Nicely done.
    28
  1967. The "drive in the middles of the road" advice is a c**t's charter. There are a lot of sick puppies out there who are going to get orgasmic pleasure holding up motorists. It's like the sick bastards who when there is a long windy road take immense pleasure at driving as much as they can under the speed limit while still making it impossible to overtake. In fact a lot of such people will even speed up on the straight stretches. I'm expecting to see cyclists who drive in the middle of the road suffer serious road rage incidents.
    28
  1968. “Irreparable Harm” Yes, to the Iranian regime.
    28
  1969. This is going to be about as effective as giving the cabinet room a new lick of paint.
    28
  1970. Not a mistake. This is typical Orc behaviour.
    28
  1971. That would require Tories to put the country first. You're more likely to see hardened Unionists become Catholic choir boys.
    28
  1972. If you were starting today would you still be prepared to teach in most UK schools? The reason we have teachers and headteachers like this is that very few capable people would touch teaching in a UK state school with a 10ft barge pole. I've taught in New Zealand, Germany and Italy. They are all far better places to teach than the UK, and I'm sure others could add many more countries to the list.
    28
  1973. Taking a selfie anywhere is an act of gross stupidity. On the very rare occasions where I've wanted myself in the picture (like with the Matterhorn or Zugspitze behind me) I've handed my camera (not a phone) to someone nearby.
    28
  1974. Like Hitler putting Jews on trains: and we all know what happened next.
    28
  1975. These days you have to be unbelievably incompetent to have a collision like this!
    28
  1976. Well done Sir. You are fighting for American freedom. The founding fathers would be very proud of you. America desperately needs a lot more men and women to show the same conviction.
    28
  1977. Sadly, there may not have been any Orcs in these tanks.
    28
  1978. Yes, this and many other things are going really badly for Putin. Without his good buddy Trump throwing him a lifeline there's a good chance he won't survive much longer: which WOULD mean lasting peace.
    28
  1979. Not only utterly wrong, but utterly unscientific. Younger people are at negligible risk from covid-19, and over half the population, who have recovered from covid-19 now have long lasting natural immunity that is vastly better than vaccination.
    28
  1980. Trump and Musk are undoubtedly both extremely rich, but that doesn't mean they are extremely clever. Just think about people like Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman, among many others. These had far better things to do with their time than trying to make lots of money.
    27
  1981. Most people don't want either the Tories or Labour, but instead of manning up and voting for the party they really want they continue to vote for which one of these two parties they hate and detest the least.
    27
  1982. Keep up the great work.
    27
  1983. Because the UN is complicit!
    27
  1984. So this sister is as mad as her brother.
    27
  1985. I very much doubt that Starmer could achieve the proverbial piss-up in a brewery.
    27
  1986. When offering them the jab will they be told about the 30 people who died in Norway after getting it? Didn't think so!
    27
  1987. This sounds uncannily like Putin's excuse for invading Ukraine!
    27
  1988. While I would agree that Boris couldn't lead a hungry pig to a through filled with acorns, unless vast numbers in the UK suddenly become senile and demented Starmer is never going to get a sniff at leadership.🤣
    27
  1989. Most mothers who took thalidomide didn't give birth to seriously deformed children. Perhaps on this basis the CDC would like to argue that thalidomide was safe.
    27
  1990. If it's a school, hospital, church or refugee centre then it's a near certainty that Hamas is using it!
    27
  1991. With Putin currently under so much pressure, the very last thing one wants to do is give him a chance to catch his breath by having a ceasefire.
    27
  1992. I don't think any of us will be in the least surprised by this criminally low rate of reporting. As is only too clear a massive effort is being put in to sweep information about adverse reactions under the carpet. The most troubling aspect is how keen so much main stream media is to lend a hand in this. Whatever happened to Google's moto: "don't be evil"?
    27
  1993. People need to remember that whacking Prigozhin "wasn't personal, it was simply business".
    27
  1994. What's just as bad is that the rest of the teachers in the school didn't have the guts to stand up and support their colleague.
    27
  1995. It's a complete fabrication that most very highly paid managers bring exceptional talent to their organisation. For many years I worked as a very highly paid software developer in the City, and was well aware of managers who received considerably more than my very generous remuneration. Almost without exception they were neither particularly bright or talented. If they had any exceptional skill it was a consummate ability to brown-nose their way up the greasy pole. I doubt things are any different in the NHS.
    27
  1996. It's really good to see Russians getting some of what they doled out to Ukraine. Hopefully they will get a lot more, and in Moscow too.
    27
  1997. Well, for a balanced diet you need some veg to go with your ground meat.
    27
  1998. When I was this boy's age, 52 years ago, such an event would have been very rare and caused real shock and horror. Now it's almost a daily occurrence. Am I the only one who feels that this has an awful lot to do with going really soft on crime? We are spun the argument about softer drugs being the gateway to much harder and more dangerous ones. Could it possibly be that a laissez-faire attitude to so much other crime eventually leads to far more very serious crime?
    27
  1999. Sorry, but I'm far more concerned with all the burglaries and shoplifting that police can't be bothered to attend. These idiots need to get their priorities right.
    27
  2000. Permitting the use of long range missiles inside Russia wouldn't just be a small increment, and could indeed be a giant leap. It would allow the sources of most missiles, drones and glide bombs to be targeted. It would also force most Russians to stop pretending that this war isn't affecting them. Both of these events could significantly increase the chances of Putin being "removed", which is a prerequisite for peace.
    27
  2001. The warning is right. Seeing trees destroyed is distressing.
    27
  2002. Local contamination is vastly preferable to the kind of contamination we will see if Iran succeeds in developing nukes!
    27
  2003. The VAST MAJORITY of people in this country agree. NO protests should be allowed on either Armistice Day or Remembrance Sunday: and maybe a few other days too. There are 365 days in the year, so not being allowed to protest on just a handful of them is hardly trampling on democracy and freedom of speech. A decent government, supported by a decent opposite, would urgently rush legislation through banning ALL demos on a few special days.
    27
  2004. For situations like this these brave men need the ability to launch some kind of fragmentation grenades into the middle of the Orc pack.
    27
  2005. Did anyone see that New Zealand weight lifter. Sorry, but just looking at him and hearing him speak screamed out male to me: there's absolutely no way I was buying the line that I was looking at a woman. Now imagine some poor woman on a hospital ward having someone like that in the next bed. Somehow I can't see that helping her convalescence.
    27
  2006. Putin's FSB goons would probably blame Bugs Bunny if they found a carrot near the scene.
    27
  2007. Any defeat? Russian must be driven out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea, no matter what the cost or how long it takes.
    27
  2008. Parents were too cowardly to fight for their older kids, so what makes you think they will fight for their younger ones?
    27
  2009. Stopping hindering Poland and Finland from sending Leopard tanks to Ukraine would be a good start at more support. Germany sending some NOW would be even better.
    27
  2010. And the judge will give the perp a very mild sentence in view of his ethnicity.
    27
  2011. Two years ago if you had walked into any medical ethics class and posed the following question you would have received an instant and unanimous NO! "We have a group of patients for whom a virus poses a negligible risk, and who after contracting it and recovering will have excellent natural immunity, that may well last them a lifetime. Should we vaccinate them?" You wouldn't even have to add that the vaccines in question had been rushed through and weren't 100% safe.
    27
  2012. Russian military exercises are about as impressive as a gorilla thumping his chest. No, on second thoughts, the gorilla is much more impressive.
    27
  2013. What's really frightening is how people in the UK just rolled over and accepted this tyranny.
    27
  2014. Trusting Labour is like a turkey trusting someone who has just stocked up on Paxo.
    27
  2015. The simple fact is that mRNA that was meant to remain in the arm muscle has been found in virtually every single type of body tissue. This is provoking varying degrees of attack by the immune system almost anywhere in the body, and represents a ticking timebomb for some people. Where do you think the continuing 10% excess death rates in so many developed countries come from?
    27
  2016. The only surprise in this news is that it wasn't done sooner.
    27
  2017. Here in the UK, I'm really annoyed that the whole news hour, for the last few days, has been devoted to the Queen's death, to the total exclusion of all the vastly more important things that are going on in the world.
    27
  2018. This is indeed the case, with 9.4 million of working age claiming that they are too sick to work. What kind of idiot really believes that 25% of those of working age can't work? There must be several million receiving benefits that they definitely shouldn't be getting. Putting a stop to this would go a good way to filling that economic black hole!
    27
  2019. The US need sto learn from the IDF how to deal with the Houthis!
    27
  2020. About 35 years ago I lived in Bray, south of Dublin, for a little while. Most people weren't rich, but they were happy and generally felt safe and content. I now wouldn't recognise the country, and my Irish mother, aunt and uncle must be turning in their graves about how their country has been despoiled. In some respects things are now a lot worse than under British occupation. McGregor is saying what needs to be said a lot more!
    27
  2021. I've just counted 20 vaccinations that I spent time travelling into the British Airways Regent Street vaccination centre to have, and paid for. And I'll no doubt spend time and money getting others in the future. So I'm definitely not an anti-vaxer. The other vaccines we use on kids have track records of many years, and the illnesses they protect against pose a serious threat. Exactly the opposite is true, for kids, in regard to covid-19. Also there's a nightmarish scenario in regard to the Pfizer vaccine. This vaccine is known to have caused heart inflammation in some cases. A plausible hypothesis for this is as follows. Some of the mRNA that is injected into the arm muscle is carried by the bloodstream to the heart muscle. Here it works in exactly the same way. It is taken up by cells, which then manufacture the viral antigen. The immune system reacts to this causing inflammation. What many people like me are very concerned about is the possibility the some of this mRNA might be transported into the brain, and taken up by brain tissue. Might we then see it causing a neurodegenerative disease a few years later? Even the remote prospect of this happening in young people needs to be taken very seriously, especially when covid-19 poses a negligible risk to most of them.
    27
  2022. If it was a one-way ticket there is no shortage of us that would be prepared to chip in the fare!
    27
  2023. Young people are at such low risk that only someone like Dr. Mengele would even consider vaccinating them!
    27
  2024. In French culture tyrants have their heads chopped off!
    27
  2025. What Macron has said is very generous. All he wants is that our scumbag prime minister honours his agreements. This is no more than the common decency we expect from all good and honest people.
    27
  2026. That's twice as much as pensioners who have paid taxes all their life!
    27
  2027. Not being able to lock a blade makes using it extremely dangerous. It's very possible to loose a finger with such a knife. Yet more proof of that well worn adage that "the law is an ass".
    27
  2028. Well said Lee. And they can take the BENT lawyers with them!
    27
  2029. I hear that Orcs also find washing machines irresistible.
    27
  2030. As in all businesses, Putin knows that once you lose your customers they often don't come back. So making them go cold turkey on Russian gas might mean they never return to using it and all that pipeline infrastructure will just sit there unused, with no more vast amounts of easy money.
    27
  2031. Many, many years ago some looney lefty students on my PGCE course, together with one of their lecturers, tried to prevent the university awarding me my PGCE. They didn't like the thought of someone with right-wing views teaching students. Unfortunately for them I had been observed by a though as nails (so I was told) external moderator, who was very impressed with my teaching style, and shot them down in no uncertain terms.
    27
  2032. With so many people dying of treatable illnesses it is absolutely scandalous that the NHS is squandering time and money on people like this.
    27
  2033. So many of us would dearly love to see Moscow deprived of power and water, over the winter.
    27
  2034. There are lots of NATO fighter pilots who would really love a chance to take to Ukrainian skies and help eradicate the Orc infestation.
    27
  2035. We need a referendum on whether the BBC should fund itself like all other broadcasters. But that would require that we live in a democracy.
    27
  2036. MOST Brits want to see the Royal Navy turn these boats around!
    27
  2037. Blessed are those who expect not, from Sunak and his government, for they will not be disappointed.
    27
  2038. Love or hate him, he's probably right about this.
    27
  2039. Independence days need fireworks. Crimea seems a great place for a really good display: especially on Putin's favourite bridge.
    27
  2040. Because of his nationality, the possibility that the captain deliberately caused this crash needs to be given due consideration.
    27
  2041. You know what would be a nice strong signal? Germany delivering all those weapons, that it promised months ago, NOW!
    27
  2042. That's the thing about trying to hide the truth. Sooner or later it does come back to bite you.
    27
  2043. What the West failed to recognise was the abject cowardice of most Afghani men. If they had been prepared to fight for the future of their families, especially their wives, daughters and sisters, then the Taliban could never have made a comeback. This really is the brutal truth. Because of this cowardice good courageous British and American soldiers died for nothing, and an incredible amount of our taxes was squandered. What a contrast this makes with Ukraine where the people are prepared to fight against an evil empire that is vastly more powerful than the Taliban.
    27
  2044. We have a peaceful country 100 miles off China's coast, with about 23 million people, which has existed for 70 years without attacking anyone. Why can't Emperor Xi just leave Taiwan alone? Probably because he is Asia's equivalent of Putin, and regards Taiwan in the same way that Putin regards the Baltic states.
    27
  2045. He should also call on Starmer to respect democracy and not try to stifle free speech simply because he doesn't like what he is hearing. Nobody wants riots, but some prison sentences, and the length of them are very questionable!
    26
  2046. This is like the atrocities committed by the Nazis in WW II. After that war we hanged the perpetrators that were caught. I hope Russian mothers are proud of the kind of sons they have brought up.
    26
  2047. Well I guess that when it comes to troops it's a case of quality, not quantity. Ukraine's soldiers are good brave men fighting for their country's freedom, and to protect their women and children. By contrast the Russian army is recruited from the dregs of Russian society. Being a rapist or murderer seems to be almost a requirement of enlistment.
    26
  2048. It's not refuges per se that are the problem. We all welcome those from the Ukraine. However, they don't regard women as having less rights than livestock, or want to impose superstitious and repressive beliefs on the host country.
    26
  2049. They died for the vanity of one pathetic, cowardly little man, who wants to recreate "Historic Russia" and go down in history alongside Catherine the Great and Peter the Great. However he is going down alongside Ivan the Terrible.
    26
  2050. Sounds to be the first correct and honest statement that the WHO have made in relation to covid-19.
    26
  2051. This story reminds me of my father's sister Jadwiga. Apparently she was very attractive, but none too bright. So instead of accepting the solicitations of a kind and clever man in her village she took up with a drunkard. While dating him she used to come home in tears from his abuse. Sometimes my father's older brother and his father used to give the lout a damn good beating, but Jadwiga stood by him, and eventually married him. During her marriage she suffered regular abuse and beatings until her husband drank himself to death.
    26
  2052. This will make Putin immensely happy, as well as justifying his belief that if he can hang on long enough the Western unity and resolve will collapse. It will also strengthen his resolve to continue Russian piracy in the Black Sea.
    26
  2053. Should have been "ladies, gentlemen and eunuchs".🤣
    26
  2054. You share the devil's bed, you share his fate!
    26
  2055. You know Mercy, what amazes me the most is how parents just sat on their arses and accepted this in the first case. Right from the start good, honest teachers like me were saying that cancelling exams would be very unfair, and that online learning was a stinking pile of crap. Even without having any children of my own I feel terribly sorry for what's been done to them, but their own parents didn't have the courage and decency to take to the streets and force the government to back down on this. Even animals defend their young better than most of these parents!
    26
  2056. What have people like me been telling you all along? Once they are done with your 12 to 15-year-olds they are going after your primary school kids. Then they WILL go after your toddlers! As for masks, a very large study, just completed in Bangladesh shows that the masks that the vast majority of people wear are absolutely USELESS: you might as well wear a tin foil hat. Proper surgical masks do help somewhat, but very, very few people wear these. This more or less ties in with the first serious study that was done in Denmark, and couldn't find any benefit. People don't like hearing this because it makes them feel vulnerable, but not liking the TRUTH doesn't change the truth.
    26
  2057. Don't forget that a great way to celebrate independence day is lots of fireworks. I'm sure Crimea would appreciate a good show to remind it that it's part of Ukraine too.
    26
  2058. Putin's Orcs are dying in vast numbers to achieve the tiniest advances on the battlefield. It would be a tragedy in so many ways if Ukrainian forces didn't have the armaments to send these Orcs to hell, where they belong. Ukraine also needs long-range weapons to take out sites launching the drones that murder its women and children: no matter how far inside Russia these launch sites might be. And, finishing off the Kerch Bridge, which supplies Crimea, is also important.
    26
  2059. To anyone with even a modicum of decency it is self evident that those who gave the same service, and are now living in the same country, should get the same pension. We don't need a debate, or lawyer fattening inquiry. But then, honest decent politicians are as rare as hens teeth.
    26
  2060. We only have Russia's word that 65 PoWs were on board. And Russia is not renowned for its veracity!
    26
  2061. What's far more inexcusable is that those running the Post Office were not prepared to accept that there might be a fault with their new computer system, rather than hundreds of fraudulent sub-post masters. For such incredible negligence, which ruined so many lives, those in charge should be JAILED!
    26
  2062. I can think of a group of Irish patriots that would be willing to effectively patrol that soft border. And their methods would instantly halt the flow!
    26
  2063. We need much more of this, and where possible there should be deportations.
    26
  2064. Despite a previous massive dam being blown up by Russia, not a single Russian dam was touched. Such miserable things will continue, and get worse, until the same is inflicted on Russia.
    26
  2065. Am I the only one who feels that people have the right to know about the 30 deaths, after vaccination, in Norway, so that they can give "informed consent" to being vaccinated? This story is all over the news in Australia, half a world away, but hasn't merited even a brief mention on any mainstream news channels in the UK. Here are some other stories, from the last couple of days, that one would have thought were topical enough to deserve some air time, but didn't get a look in. 1. 30,000 Italian businesses defying lockdown regulations. 2. 10,000 Austrians protesting in Vienna 3. Thousands protesting in Amsterdam.
    26
  2066. If the other tennis players in the Open are decent human beings they will refuse to take part unless Novak is reinstated. This just goes to show how vicious and vindictive those running Australia are, but then Australia is the world's biggest prison, and this is the behaviour that you expect in prison.
    26
  2067. Call me strange, but whenever someone has tried to bully me it's only made me more determined than ever to kick their arse!
    26
  2068. Probably filmed at a Russian training base, with only some trees and squirrels getting roasted.
    26
  2069. On this I agree with the Labour minister. Whenever I see a P&O advert for cruises I remember the appalling way they treated (and still do) their workers, and would never knowingly add to the coffers of a company like this.
    26
  2070. Australia's way of dealing with illegals is absolutely brilliant. Especially keeping them on an island with no prospect of ever setting foot on the mainland. Most of us Brits wish our government had the sense, and the guts, to implement the same policy.
    26
  2071. I think it has very little to do with race, and far more to do with certain groups of people who come to this country, are unwilling to accept its values, and want to impose theirs on the majority.
    26
  2072. The gullibility and ignorance displayed by this amateur astrophysicist is going to spawn a whole new set of Irish jokes.
    26
  2073. One mad dog murdered by another mad dog, who still needs putting down.
    26
  2074. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Welby go down to Dover, dressed in full regalia, and bless the dinghy boys as they came ashore.
    26
  2075. With so many good cooks to choose from, why would anyone waste time getting advice from Markle?
    26
  2076. I gather that both the mask wearing and testing are recommendations, and not a legal requirement, so kids and parents should simply say NO. Any teacher trying to coerce kids in these matters should be "talked to" in a dark alley.
    26
  2077. As I keep saying, I think this has a lot to do with Trump's desire to take Greenland and its mineral wealth. I'm sure he has already discussed divvying it up with Putin. But he needs Putin to be strong enough again so that the rest of the world won't challenge such an action.
    26
  2078. But with a large majority Labour have 4½ years in which to pile on far more disaster. There's no democratic way to stop them.
    26
  2079. With literally millions getting benefits they aren't entitled to, and illegal migrants being looked after far better than many seriously struggling hardworking people, this is where the axe needs to fall.
    26
  2080. Well, as you can read in Lord of the Rings, the Orcs hate trees.
    26
  2081. Oh look! A lawyer lying through his teeth: how unusual.
    26
  2082. One can only hope that, with the very poor equipment they receive, vastly higher numbers of Orcs are suffering with trench-foot, and hopefully frostbite too.
    26
  2083. Yes, most people don't realise that storing nukes isn't like keeping a bar of gold. A few years ago Scientific American did an article on the considerable effort needed to ensure they remain effective.
    26
  2084. Call me an old-fashioned dinosaur, but I've always believed in giving the job to the best qualified person: irrespective of race, gender or religious persuasion.
    26
  2085.  @johnriggs4929  As soon as I say "I'm exempt" everybody I've encountered is satisfied.
    26
  2086. If it wasn't climate these crazies would be using another cause as an excuse. Years ago we locked up crazies, but now it's all about "care in the community".
    26
  2087. God I really love an Orc barbecue, even when it's on a cold winter's night.
    26
  2088. Let me take you back over 20 years to when I was doing my PGCE teaching practice. In my Y10 maths class I had about 4 bad boys who were hell bent on disrupting lessons. I could see the looks of despair on the faces of the other 25 or so kids who wanted to learn and were very unhappy. But the bleeding heart teacher was more interested in building a good relationship with the bad boys. When I took over from her I came down on these boys like a ton of bricks. Bleeding heart teacher wasn't at all happy, telling me that these kids had a right to their education: the rights of the good kids kind of escaped her. So she took these bad boys out to teach by herself, while I kept the rest of the class. And you know what. It was as if a magic wand had been waved. Suddenly I had happy kids who were able to learn in lessons that weren't disrupted.
    26
  2089. I'm so glad all the American and British soldiers are out of Afghanistan. I'm sorry for what's happening to the girls and women, but it's unacceptable that our troops should die for men (I use the word in its loosest sense) who are too cowardly to fight for the education and future of their wives, daughters and sisters.
    26
  2090. My Irish mother, uncle and grandparents will be turning in their graves at the way Ireland is being DESTROYED by these migrants. Little over 30 years ago I lived in Bray, and worked in the centre of Dublin for a while. What a joy it was to have an enjoyable commute on the train. Ireland was then a very safe and welcoming country, where most people were fairly happy. Self-serving Irish politicians have betrayed the people of Ireland!
    26
  2091. Even at the height of the panicdemic I didn't bother testing, wearing a mask, or worry where I went. I also wasn't stupid enough to take a vaccine that hadn't gone through proper Phase III safety trials.
    26
  2092. I wonder how much money could be saved by holding all those illegally in this country in Nissen huts on a remote Scottish island, rather than in 4 star hotels that most of us can't afford to stay in. Even human rights lawyer Tony Blair has previously suggested something very similar. Oh, and it would also be a strong deterrent!
    26
  2093. Sadly, the Welsh aren't renowned for their political astuteness, otherwise they would never have got Drakeford.
    26
  2094. Perhaps this fellow would be a lot happy if he bought himself a one-way ticket to Sri Lanka. Actually, as long as he promised not to come back, lots of us would be only too pleased to chip in for it.
    26
  2095. Seems a shame to waste the ammo. I don't think most Belarusians would mind in the least if Ukrainian forces launched a surprise attack on the Orcs in their country.
    26
  2096. As anyone who has worked in the civil service, and is honest, will tell you, the vast majority of civil servants aren't the sharpest pencils in the box. And most of them also have no work ethic. So something like this happening isn't at all surprising.
    26
  2097. The main thing people need to know is that the MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol. Only a MINORITY of bigoted protestants, who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic, want it changed. Call me naive, but I thought accepting what the majority chooses is one of the foundation stones of democracy.
    26
  2098. Our so-called independent BBC won't play this song.
    26
  2099. Most of us always suspected that Sturgeon is rotten to the core.
    26
  2100. There are three targets that it would be really good to take out, from a military point of view: 1. Russian warships in the Black Sea. 2. The Crimea bridges 3. Fuel and supply depots, and railways on the Russian side of the boarder. Is the range of the supplied missiles great enough to do this, because all the this is very much a defensive action.
    26
  2101. Hopefully the first of many such attacks by Russians. And let's not forget that there are parts of the Russian Federation which really want out of it. In fact, I often wonder why Siberia stays in. It is a region rich in natural resources, but what does it get in return for Moscow plundering them?
    26
  2102. Imagine how much more those very brake Ukrainians could do if the cowardly and dishonourable Germans had delivered all the weapons that they promised so long ago.
    26
  2103. Even worse, Labour MPs cheered when this policy was passed. You have to be to one very sick puppy to cheer about something that will cause hardship and suffering to so many?
    25
  2104. Lawlessness flourishes when criminals don't think they will be caught, and don't fear the consequences if they are!
    25
  2105. Once again, a very serious offender given a shorter sentence than someone tweeting a few hurty words!
    25
  2106. Maybe the BBC would also like to do a report on the false science behind the denial of just how good and long lasting natural immunity is?😉
    25
  2107. Let's change the "up to 70%" to "at least 70%". Hopefully by the time everyone has finished their turkey there will be the overdue acknowledgement that Omicron is even milder. Rather than more curbs, we need the existed ones lifted, though it's now too late to save a lot of businesses.
    25
  2108. It doesn't matter whether it's 200 seconds or 200 minutes, because shorty after every major Russian city will be obliterated!
    25
  2109. You know what goes really well with a pretty fire? Roast Orc.
    25
  2110. Has it escaped people's notice that France was hardly affected by the energy supply panic that hit most of Europe? Of course, that couldn't possibly be because 70% of France's energy comes from nuclear power.
    25
  2111. Exactly! And maybe it will discourage a few more.
    25
  2112. It's high time our hard earned taxes stopped funding these bible bashers.
    25
  2113. Intimidation has always been an important aspect of any bully's behaviour. They gain almost as much satisfaction in causing fear as they do in actually hurting their victims.
    25
  2114. Like most people, I don't want an enquiry, that just fattens lawyers' wallets. I want to see the perpetrators, AND those who turned a blind eye, brought to justice!
    25
  2115. Pourquoi YouTube a-t-il supprimé mon commentaire en anglais disant que cette vidéo montre que les personnes capturées bénéficient de conditions de vie bien meilleures que celles qui combattent pour Poutine ?
    25
  2116. The "Kim family brand" is like the Adams family stripped of all semblance of attractiveness or humor.
    25
  2117. The risk to almost all kids was incredibly low, so vaccinating them tore up the rule book on medical ethics. And that would have still been the case even if the vaccine had undergone years of testing! I'm now 67 and hardly a day goes by that I don't reflect on how wise I was not to have this vaccine. I also steer well clear of annual flu vaccines.
    25
  2118. Russia having a civil war is far less scary than a united Russia fighting other countries. And if parts of Russia use nukes against each other that's fine as long as the wind isn't blowing from the east. Shirreff is right on Russia needing to suffer consequences. The dam would still be there if this had been the case earlier, and the nuclear plant may well be at risk since this still isn't the case.
    25
  2119. YES!!! You see people. It is worth fighting these moronic tyrants.
    25
  2120. Why would anyone come forward when they know that no jail sentences will be handed out? These three may have been brought to court, but they most certainly weren't brought to justice!
    25
  2121. Let's be very clear on one point. If those caught carrying a knife without good reason were subject to a mandatory prison sentence then Axel Rudakubana would have been in jail or a young offenders centre. And those three little girls would still be alive!
    25
  2122. What's so amusing about this is that there's a line in the song about less blessed nations falling to tyrants.😉
    25
  2123. How can you respect a police force that doesn't treat everybody the same? Starmer and his police chief cronies can repeat, as often as they like, that there isn't two-tier policing, but we have al seen it time and time again.
    25
  2124. Yes its horrific, and bears an uncanny resemblance to what Austria's most famous son did in the 1930s and 1940s. That too was initially justified on health grounds.
    25
  2125. The Orcs are probably scared that cargo ships will be used as bait to lure their ships within range of effective and hard to stop sea drones.
    25
  2126. Or have a quiet word, after school, with them.😉
    25
  2127. NO travel restrictions should be imposed! This variant has already been in the UK for a while, but was never noticed because it is so innocuous. South African doctors, with the most experience dealing with it, have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. A much more fitting name for it would be the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    25
  2128. Endgame? To eradicate the Orc infestation.
    25
  2129. Give it a few more years and it will be a criminal offence to own Enid Blyton's books, unsanitised books by Mark Twain, or sing Bah Bah Black Sheep.
    25
  2130. There should be the same law for everyone! Does anyone seriously believe that if this man had slapped a waiter or busker that he would have received a prison sentence?
    25
  2131. A bit like telling people that getting 2 jabs would give them back their freedom: LMAO🤣
    25
  2132. Perhaps we could have a vote on which is more laughable: 1. Driving to Barnard Castle to test your eyesight. 2. A party "leader" needing a voice coach before he can give a speech.
    25
  2133. I've lost count of the number of times I've pointed out that the UK has thousands of islands on which camps could be established, much more cheaply, to hold illegal migrants. AND, this would be a massive deterrent.
    25
  2134. Pity it wasn't a choice between Boris and Geronimo. Most of us would keep the alpaca.
    25
  2135. I'm wondering how many are even still alive.
    25
  2136.  @edwinsiala8028  Absolute crap. That's like saying you shouldn't hit a bully back or defend yourself.
    25
  2137. Such roles should never have been allowed in the first place! Also, there are about 3 times as many managers and admin staff than are needed in the NHS.
    25
  2138. Putting a fireplace salesman in charge of education is a bit like making a cinema usher a brain surgeon. But as we all know what gets you climbing the ministerial ladder is consummate brown-nosing talent. As for resigning, without the threat of being pushed, that calls for having integrity and a sense of responsibility. Does anyone believe that there are ministers possessing these qualities?
    25
  2139. Come on SUN its been a few days now since we've been shown a few pigs running for their lives. Though, on reflection, roasted pig is better than fleeing pig.
    25
  2140. Unfortunately, what most of us are wondering is whether he will even serve those 17 years.
    25
  2141. Starmer wants to show that he's as tough as the PM whose portrait he took down because it intimidated him.
    25
  2142. Just yesterday the BBC's Steve Rosenberg reviewed some of the Russian papers. They were expressing concern about the cost of basic staples like bread, and about energy supplies. As one can imagine, under Putin, they were very guarded about just how bad things really are in Russia. We don't have to give Putin anything. All that's necessary is to keep the pressure on, or better still increase it.
    25
  2143. How to recycle a tuna tin?
    25
  2144. I see we are still trying to keep the bed-wetters damp. Maybe the next variant should be called the "Titan variant".
    25
  2145. Notice how we are shown infection rates, death rates, and vaccination rates. However we are only shown the TOTAL for people in hospitals. I strongly suspect that if we were shown a graph of hospitalisation RATES then we would see a graph with a truly precipitous fall. But this would lead to calls for lockdown to be lifted, and the government REALLY doesn't want this!
    25
  2146. When I taught in the classroom I used to give my classes a little speech. I would tell them that I was there for every student who was prepared to work, regardless of their ability. But I would also tell them that I had no time for those who weren't prepared to work. That if they didn't care, and their parents didn't care enough to make them work, then I certainly didn't care. You can guess how this would now go down in our ultra woke schools.
    25
  2147. Several weeks ago I said that the Kremlin had already decided that Putin would win 90% to 95% of the vote. I wasn't far off.
    25
  2148. Even if you survive, methanol can seriously damage your kidneys.
    25
  2149. One can't help thinking that if every attack on a Ukrainian city had provoked a corresponding attack on Russia then maybe Ukrainian cities would have suffered a lot less.
    25
  2150. If a lawyer knowingly assists in making a false claim they should be struck off. But, as we all know, the Law Society has as much bite as a castrated poodle.
    25
  2151. I thought that Britain had already given Ukraine permission to use these missiles as they see fit, and that it was only Chicken Joe still holding out. With Putin's position currently looking less secure than it has ever been, now is the time to really pile on as much extra pressure as possible.
    25
  2152. Finland will be very warmly welcomed by other NATO countries who prize freedom and liberty very highly. Also, with the Russian army bogged down in Ukraine, now would be an excellent time for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom, along with several other regions that definitely don't want to be part of Russia. An opportunity as good as this may never present itself again. As soon as one region declares its independence quite a few others will follow in very short order. The oppressed people of Belarus might also like to note that Putin is no longer in a position to support their Fat Dictator's hold on power.
    25
  2153. Would you want to hear that you had been sucked into something that might kill you or your children?
    25
  2154. It's always good seeing a rabid dog put down. Lots more of the same please.
    25
  2155. The real key to Ukraine's success will be a determination to fight on throughout the winter, and not stop, like they did last year, which gave the Russians a golden opportunity to put in the massive amount of defenses, that have caused Ukraine so much difficulty.
    25
  2156. Exactly!
    25
  2157. Damn right we don't! I'd say that would be like rolling out the red carpet if it weren't for the fact that it already feels like that.
    25
  2158. So true. They were quick enough to viscously break up a lawful, peaceful vigil by women, for someone who one of their own had raped and murdered.
    25
  2159. When in Rome ... If people don't like British values and customers then they should bugger off to somewhere that has those that are more to their liking!
    25
  2160. I wonder if most people realise how important oil is for the chemical industry, and tens of thousands of products that we all take for granted, including many medicines?
    25
  2161. This is probably one of Putin's greatest fears.
    25
  2162. It's hard to believe that, after all she has put them through, Scots reelected Nicola Scourge Em.
    25
  2163. If we are talking about what's "perfectly legitimate", it's perfectly legitimate for American, British and Polish fighter pilots to clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs. And there is no shortage of these pilots just itching to waste as many Orcs as they can.
    25
  2164. The thing about our none to bright politicians is that they are desperate to be seen to be doing something. So they act without even the limited thinking they are capable of, whereas a wise man would spend more time thinking things through first.
    25
  2165. I do wonder if a few really good navy seals couldn't arrange for some of these Russian warships to have the kind of "accident" that the Moskva suffered.
    25
  2166. This is the kind of thing you would expect from a nasty spiteful child if you gave him missiles to play with.
    25
  2167. Funny you should say that. A while back in the UK Hancock's Gestapo shut down a Catholic service that was in fact quite legal.
    25
  2168. There are so many Scots who, after the intense pain and misery that Sturgeon inflicted on Scotland, will be overjoyed to see her get some of the payback she so richly deserves.
    25
  2169. I always laugh when there's any pretense that Putin has been holding back on anything.
    25
  2170. Sensible people have never stopped hugging, giving high-fives, or shaking hands properly like civilised human beings. I've always called bumping elbows the w@nker greeting.
    25
  2171. I'm guessing that the lordship was bought.
    25
  2172. A special operation to de-Orcify Kaliningrad?
    25
  2173. The police would act very quickly and very harshly if there were anti-Muslim demonstrations!
    25
  2174. Now wait for all the apologists to insist that this confession was extracted under torture.
    24
  2175. I hope the drones and missiles have enough range to take out more Russian ships, and also their supply lines and convoys on the RUSSIAN side of the border. It's much more desirable to stop your enemy crossing the border than to have to fight him on your own land!
    24
  2176. On Saturday I was careless which resulted in cut that needed stitches. While I've got nothing but praise for the Urgent Treatment Centre that took care of my wound, I did have to wait for 3 hours before I could finally leave. My point is that we already have an NHS and other services that are at breaking point. How are they going to deal with a massive population rise?
    24
  2177. Cut bonuses and dividends to bring down energy bills!
    24
  2178. And to think of all those appeasers who said we mustn't humiliate Putin. How did they ever know that he really enjoys being humiliated, because having to go cap in hand to North Korea for weapons is seriously embarrassing.
    24
  2179. Putin dreams of being another tsar. Hmm. let me see: Ivan the Terrible Catherine the Great Putin the Incontinent
    24
  2180. One of Trump's favourite insults is "Looser". But if he rolls over for very tough demands from Putin then that's exactly what people are going to call him!
    24
  2181.  @gyaanfreak  Wrong! Virtually every Ukrainian man of fighting age is prepared to defend his country.
    24
  2182. Looking at the packed coffee shops, and the nation's addiction to it, putting a hefty tax on coffee would be a much more effective way of raising revenue.
    24
  2183. Spot on!
    24
  2184. I get the impression that most people would agree that no politician should be allowed to be put on the honours list. It sullies the rewards of good, decent people who genuinely deserve recognition for their deeds.
    24
  2185. One thing that's not mentioned is the rampant ageism that occurs in the country, and this sets in well before retirement age. It's illegal, but unlike racism and misogynism the governments and courts turn a blind eye to it. A classic example is in teaching. When I was on an IMO training camp in New Zealand I saw retired university profs in their 80s giving wonderful lessons to some of the country's very brightest. Go into a UK secondary school and see how many teachers you will find over 50. Their applications go straight in the bin. Even worse, sometimes "capability" is misused as an excuse to drive out older more expensive teachers.
    24
  2186. I'd like to see some Storm Shadows being launched to properly take out Putin's beloved Kerch bridge once and for all.
    24
  2187. This is what happens when you ignore the massive concerns that most people have over illegal immigration!
    24
  2188. This is why it's so important for Ukraine to keep up, or better still increase, the pressure, rather than have a ceasefire that would allow Putin to regroup and resupply.
    24
  2189. But it is what most people were stupid enough to vote for!
    24
  2190. When I was growing up lying, cheating and breaking ones promises were among the most shameful things you could possibly do. Nowadays most people seem to regard doing such things as very clever, and the only condemnation they make is that someone was stupid enough to get caught. Few people now think that they have any obligation or responsibility to those who pay their wages, or to the clients that the business serves. In reasonable measure this is down to the abysmal behaviour expectations that most schools and parents have for young people. When I was in secondary school I voluntarily joined the CCF and used to go into school every Thursday in an immaculate No.3 navy uniform that I was responsible for looking after. I would dearly love to see compulsory CCF for every secondary school student. This would go a little way to reversing the rot.
    24
  2191. This has been going on for at least 40 years. That long ago I was a software developer and one of my colleagues was a South African girl. Her parents were farmers, and she had tales about how they weren't allowed to take any measures to protect themselves or their livestock. As for her, she couldn't get a job in South Africa because of affirmative action. She would go along to an interview to be told: "you have all the right qualifications, if only you were black".
    24
  2192. We expect people who visit the UK to obey our laws. So how can we now turn around and expect that people visiting Dubai shouldn't obey their laws. In some states in the US the age of consent is also 18, so the same thing could have happened to this fellow if he had done this in America. Would we then expect Americans to treat him differently from their own citizens?
    24
  2193. There are times when the wind doesn't blow and the turbines don't turn. And some of those times are when it's very cold. Nuclear power doesn't emit any greenhouse gases, and it is extremely reliable. Maybe that's why 50% of French electricity is generated in this manner. The sensible French also have a fast breeder reactor that as well as producing electricity turns useless uranium 238 into fuel. Ah, but then, unlike the English, the French have always respected scientists, engineers and mathematicians.
    24
  2194. We need a list of those working for the FSB, preferably with addresses, to be published on line, so that they can suffer the kind of "accidents" that Putin's opponents suffer.
    24
  2195. Lots of us are saying the same thing. If these two SS officers had treated Muslims in this way the Home Office would have acted immediately.
    24
  2196. Here in sunny Enfield it's a really nice day for a walk. I kid you not.
    24
  2197. As long as Finland is amenable two can play this game. In line with the treaty the UK has just signed with Finland perhaps we can supply them with the same, even if Uncle SAM has to give them to the UK first.
    24
  2198. It's not at all about expecting migrants to embrace Western culture. It's more about expecting that superstitions, and the disrespect, and sometimes barbaric treatment, of women is left behind. Notice how we have absolutely no problem with Indian Hindus, or Orthodox Jews, who have not abandoned their culture.
    24
  2199. Lammy ought to say a well known prayer: "Dear Lord, please help me to keep my big mouth shut until I know what I am talking about"
    24
  2200. Suella is saying what MOST of us are saying. You don't sack someone for telling the TRUTH!
    24
  2201. Make sure that the Russian supply lines are kept shut down and Father Winter will do the rest.
    24
  2202. The reason Boris won't be removed from office is that there are too few honest and decent MPs in the house of commons.
    24
  2203. It's tough being a squirrel in Ukraine. Of course, this video was more likely shot somewhere in Russia.
    24
  2204. The world needs the WHO and the UN like a fish needs a pair of roller skates.
    24
  2205. If they had been decent parents, and not left their little daughter all alone, then this couldn't have happened. My parents are very far from the only ones who would have starved themselves rather than leave their young children unattended.
    24
  2206. This is why it's so important that Putin be beaten and badly humiliated. The Chinese are closely watching Ukraine in order to gauge our resolve. And, in regard to the Chinese, the humiliation part is extremely important, because the prospect of "lossing face" is a really big deal for them.
    24
  2207. You would find millions of people, myself included, more than happy to carry out the sentence, even if it came at some personal expense and inconvenience. And lawyers who try to get them off, when they know they are guilty, should join them.
    24
  2208. Once again, this is why the US and the UK need to stop insisting that the weapons they supply aren't used in Russian territory, because the bases from which these missiles are launched, against non-military targets and civilians, really do need to be completely leveled.
    24
  2209. Of course, the isolation caused by Gestapo enforced lockdowns hasn't helped the mental health of millions of Australians.
    24
  2210. Years ago even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested detaining these people on bleak, remote Scottish islands. If this had been done these boats would have stopped coming a long time ago. It would also have been vastly cheaper than what we have paid the French, Rwanda, and for keeping them in top notch hotels, that most of us can't afford to stay in. It seems to most of us that the government is almost rolling out the red carpet for illegal migrants.
    24
  2211. There are lots of American, British and Polish pilots who would love to fly those jets themselves and clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    24
  2212. I struggle to appreciate just how thick Russian officialdom, and their military, is. How can anyone who is compos mentis say something like that when everyone can see the floods? And then we have the ludicrous claims that Ukraine destroyed their own dam. One that is of immense value to them when they eradicate the Orc infestation from their land. Also, such dams are extremely robust, so it's exceedingly unlikely that a strike by any of the missiles Ukraine has access to could do anywhere near this much damage. To do this you need to have the opportunity to carefully place lots of explosives, which only the Russians were in a position to do.
    24
  2213. MI5 should do more than just investigate him!
    24
  2214. Starmer was in charge at the time so the buck stops with him! While Boris has a mountain of things to apologise for this certainly isn't one of them.
    24
  2215. This implies that intelligence services know about many of them, and could take them out if they weren't overly concerned about giving terrorists a "fair trial".
    24
  2216. From my own experience, when I was young, I can tell you that even when you are in the wrong if you are polite and respectful you stand a reasonable chance of just being sent on your way with a mild rebuke. At least, this was the case 40 to 50 years ago.
    24
  2217. Let's see some of those new British long range missiles used against Sevastopol.
    24
  2218. ​ @TSinRM  Agreed, but what happened will be disseminated by word of mouth and on social media.
    24
  2219. Now, that's what I call deradicalisation!
    24
  2220. Its OK for this person sitting safely, and flushed from drinking too much vodka, to expect the soldiers to keep on fighting
    24
  2221. Yes, suggestions like this always garner lots of comments from crying Putin rent boys.
    24
  2222. Has Omicron killed or hospitalised anybody? NO! In that case it would be REALLY GOOD if it became the dominant variant. It could quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNIITY on millions. That's what Boris is really frightened of. That his lies about natural immunity will be laid bare, and that people will loose their fear.
    24
  2223. So, let me get this right. There could be people who are in poorly paid jobs, but have worked damn hard and contributed to this country. Now instead of getting a well deserved chance at social housing it will be given to someone who has never contributed anything to this country.
    24
  2224. Actually this one is well and truly down to Downing Street. It probably wouldn't have happened if they had just kept their mouths shut. The trouble is that only the most feeble minded now trust this government, so when they say one thing sensible people believe exactly the opposite.
    24
  2225. I'm guessing Biden felt a bit sorry for Macron, when he heard him crying on the other end.
    24
  2226. If most Iranian men respected and cared for their women and girls, and weren't abject cowards, then the regime would have fallen a long time ago!
    24
  2227. Yep, sentenced to a few hours of anger management counseling, and anyone condemning them accused of Islamophobia.
    24
  2228. Get vaccinated? No bloody way!
    24
  2229. The ONLY thing keeping Lukashenko in power is Moscow. His army's loyalties are very much divided, because many of them didn't fancy taking on the Russian army if he was ousted. However it's now very clear that Putin no longer has the ability to protect Lukashenko and his cronies, so a switch in allegiance by the Belarus military might be a very astute political move. The Belarusian people need to take advantage of the impending Ukrainian offensive to make their own bid for freedom. This might well be the best and only such chance they get. And, of course, if Belarus makes a clean break from Russia then NATO membership is on the cards.
    24
  2230. This clearly demonstrates how insane it would be to give Putin the pause that he so desperately needs to rearm and regroup.
    24
  2231. This really is like something out of a Monty Python film. How can anyone take Putin seriously?
    24
  2232. Once again, 30 months for a few hurty words, and a much shorter shorter sentence for a violent assault by someone with over 100 previous convictions. Justice in this country is dead!
    24
  2233. Let's hope Ukraine gives Putin and his Orcs a Russian Orthodox Christmas present that they will never forget!
    24
  2234. We could really do with some of this in London.
    24
  2235. Shutting these firms down is better than nothing, but it's the people in the firms that do the evil. Were the solicitors in these firms struck off? Were there any barristers engaged by them that also need to be struck off? And that's just the civil bit of it. Some of these lawyers have committed CRIMINAL offences, and need to be sharing a nice cosy cell with Bubba.
    24
  2236. Orc pack instinct?
    24
  2237. So let me get this right. Less than two weeks ago the police broke up a quiet, peaceful, dignified vigil on Clapham common, but they just let this baying, superstitious crowd in Bately have their protest.
    24
  2238. For decades our governments have blackmailed nurses and doctors over patient welfare, instead of paying and looking after them properly. As their salaries have declined they have watched obscene amounts going to pay for parasitic management which not only isn't needed, but often makes their difficult jobs a lot harder. SACK 2/3rds of NHS management and administration! Not only will this provide the money needed to pay those who do the real work, but the NHS will actually run far better.
    24
  2239. For any chance of lasting peace regime change is an essential prerequisite, and MOST Iranians desperately want it.
    24
  2240. What the Ukrainians have done is absolutely fantastic, but there is still a major Orc infestation in the country. And let's not forget that Crimea is part of Ukraine, so it also has to be cleaned of infestation.
    24
  2241. They should ALREADY be in use. Not using them is costing the lives of brave Ukrainian soldiers!
    24
  2242. "a balanced and proportionate approach" Sorry, but for an EXTREMELY MILD variant that hasn't killed a single person in the entire world, and may not even have hospitalised anyone, this isn't at all balanced. It's like calling in an air force strike on a street because a kid has claimed there's a boogey man under his bed.
    24
  2243. When it comes to honours and politicians, most of us regard this as pure cronyism. A politician receiving honours should be exceedingly rare. At the moment it's as disgusting as a pedophile handing out sweeties in a playground.
    24
  2244. MI5 and MI6 should be dealing with these fanatics, so they never get back to this country.
    24
  2245. This clearly shows that being conciliatory towards Islamists is exactly the wrong thing to do.
    24
  2246. Of course this couldn't possibly have anything to do with the ethnic makeup of Birmingham.
    24
  2247. Sensible people like me, who KNOW they have vastly better natural immunity, would be very happy to waver their right to covid-19 treatment. If we are wrong then at least we recover or die without being a bed blocker. Rather than persecuting people this would be vastly more effective.
    24
  2248. So what is the window cleaner going to do, take cheques for a few pounds or carry a card reader and pay some of each payment he receives to VISA? As a private tutor, cash is by far the most convenient method of payment for me and my students. I'm sure others could give many more examples. Of course, if all payments are digital it makes it very easy for the state to completely cut off all funds of anyone who criticises its MPs or policies. Perhaps they will be unable to access their funds for a few weeks due to a "technical problem".
    24
  2249. One might not have liked Corbyn, or agreed with his policies, but like Tony Benn you knew exactly what he stood for, and that he was honest. Anyone who trusts Keir Starmer definitely isn't playing with a full pack.
    24
  2250. Those defenders can be very proud of themselves. The exhibited outstanding bravery holding out far longer than anyone expected, and deprived Psycho Putin of a prize he very much wanted to have on 9th May.
    24
  2251. Calling Boris Johnson a promise breaker is like calling the Pope a Catholic.
    24
  2252. This should cone as no surprise. Remember how most Labour MPs burst out laughing when pensioners had their winter heating allowance cut.
    23
  2253. I can't believe what I'm hearing. TTK asking "can you trust him?".
    23
  2254. One has to wonder why Georgia doesn't take advantage of Russia's much weakened position to "remove" Moscow's puppet leader, install someone who genuinely represents Georgians, and take back the 20% of their land that was stolen. Such a golden opportunity may not come again.
    23
  2255. In reply to these points: 1. Although the piles go down a hundred meters flying something straight into one, or using a shaped explosive charge should be able to damage it sufficiently. 2. As a major supply route the Kerch bridge is without question a military target. So Ukraine would be completely justified in using those Storm Shadows against it. 3. Being Putin's personal project makes it even more important to take it out. The very public humiliation of having the bridge made completely unusable would seriously undermine Putin. 4. Again not a good reason. Stuff goes across the bridge because it is by far the easiest and most effective way to get it to the front line! 5. There are still other escape routes. Removing what's by far the easiest and quickest one might encourage Orcs to attempt a much earlier escape, and having the bridge cut off would certainly panic them. 6. Does anyone intelligent still seriously think that negotiation with Putin is possible? The man is a deranged psychopath for whom success in Ukraine is now existential. His "removal" from power is an absolute necessity for lasting peace.
    23
  2256. When it comes to certain religious and ethnic groups I won't hold my breath waiting to see this law enforced.
    23
  2257. Hopefully, as the Orcs repulsed or slaughtered, we will see many more happy moments like this.
    23
  2258. Or to change his nappy. Maybe he's frightened that if they get closer the smell will confirm that he is incontinent, as many suspect after the report of him falling down stairs and soiling himself in public.
    23
  2259. One could tell a similar story about rip-off London. Of course the poor old Brits have to go North, with its worse weather, whereas for Parisians there's plenty of country to the south with better weather and stunning scenery.
    23
  2260. It's way past time Ukraine was given comparable cruise missiles and carte blanche to use them against Russia as they see fit.
    23
  2261. It's hard to escape how similar this is to shooting vermin in a farmyard at night.
    23
  2262. It's interesting how people deny irrefutable evidence when they don't like it.
    23
  2263. Well the natural immunity of this Pure Blood seems to be holding up extremely well.
    23
  2264. Leaving this little girl alone, to go out to dinner, was unforgiveable. My parents would have starved rather than leave us alone at that age!
    23
  2265. I hope these perverts aren't getting free "transitioning" treatment by a chronically overstretched NHS.
    23
  2266. Has anyone in the Lancashire police force ever hear the expression: "barking up the wrong tree"?
    23
  2267. The drones were on a special operation to de-Nazify the buildings in the business sector of Moscow.
    23
  2268. Three letters too many on the end of your surname.
    23
  2269. Most people are anything but really sad. Under Dick's reign the police acted like Hancock's Gestapo, persecuting people for sitting on park benches if they needed a breather. If the police had instead focused on REAL crime then Sarah Everard would definitely still be alive. This awful woman has blood on her hands!
    23
  2270. Why aren't France and Germany doing the same? Maybe this is why Putin never seems to threaten them with being nuked, because they aren't pulling their weight! The only other country that seems to be putting in equal effort is Poland.
    23
  2271. A little over 30 years ago I lived in Bray for a short while, enjoying a relaxing scenic journey in and out of Dublin to work. Ireland was then very safe and most Irish people were fairly happy. I could cry at what's happened, and my mother and her siblings must be turning in their graves. Sadly Ireland has always had a goodly number of corrupt, self-serving politicians, and they have well and truly sold the Irish people down the river.
    23
  2272. No, Russia hasn't changed its war goals in the slightest. It's simply made them public. Putin has ALWAYS intended to take the whole of the Ukraine, AND the other Baltic states!
    23
  2273. I was going to make a similar comment. Perhaps some real Irishmen ought to have a few words with this bus driver.
    23
  2274. Maybe he's frightened that if they get closer the smell will confirm that he is incontinent, as many suspect after the report of him falling down stairs and soiling himself in public.
    23
  2275. I'm no fan of Liz Truss, but what kind of brainless fool would want to put Starmer in No.10?
    23
  2276. We had a broken NHS well before covid-19. My sister is a nurse, and with the number of tales she used to come home with about bad and nasty management she had enough material to write a book. I certainly would have, because the material had the potential to be turned into an award winning black comedy. The truth is that, as it is for so many broken organisations, covid-19 has provided an excuse for what was already broken. In reality all it did was make failings more obvious.
    23
  2277. If the law won't protect our young girls then ordinary people NEED to take the law into their own hands!
    23
  2278. Psycho Putin promised a spectacular victory celebration on 9th May. So he is really desperate to take Mariupol before then.
    23
  2279. When you don't strike back at a bully he just keeps beating on you! Even a kid at elementary school can explain this to you.
    23
  2280. All the more reason for Ukraine to take out as much infrastructure, behind enemy lines, as quickly as it possibly can. Think of it like this. A lot of planes in Crimea will no longer be attacking Ukrainian civilians.
    23
  2281. Finland and Sweden will be very warmly welcomed by other NATO countries who prize freedom and liberty very highly. Also, with the Russian army bogged down in Ukraine, now would be an excellent time for Chechnya to make another bid for freedom, along with several other regions that definitely don't want to be part of Russia. An opportunity as good as this may never present itself again. As soon as one region declares its independence quite a few others will follow in very short order. The oppressed people of Belarus might also like to note that Putin is no longer in a position to support their Fat Dictator's hold on power.
    23
  2282. Even at 30 cycles the PCR, brilliant as it is, was never intended to be used in this way.
    23
  2283. I liked the pretty bit near the end. But don't forget, Moscow richly deserves a lot more pretty fireworks!
    23
  2284. Wow. Another crying Putin rent boy.
    23
  2285. Training looks to be going really well, doesn't it? Just what's needed to calm down the anger about conscription. Of course it couldn't possibly be that what we are actually seeing is well seasoned soldiers putting on a good display to deceive the very gullible Russian public.
    23
  2286. "Iran has denied it's from them" This reminds me of some of the nasty and stupid boys I used to teach. You would clearly see them doing something wrong, and they knew you had seen them. Yet they would swear that they hadn't done it. Of course, such a denial only meant that you handed out a more severe punishment.
    23
  2287. Ukraine needs to double down on its efforts, because Trump is coming to Putin's rescue, not theirs.
    23
  2288.  @KelliEagle71  With his incontinence I imagine he tries really hard not to shake his legs.
    23
  2289. If only Ukraine had missiles with enough range to hit every Russian naval base on the Black Sea. That might make a big difference.
    23
  2290. "Papieren, bitte!" Herr Macron's new restrictions will remind older French people of the Nazi occupation, except that the Nazis didn't stop the going to cafes and travelling.
    23
  2291. I doubt there's much danger of Trump's presidency being overrated.
    23
  2292. If UK voters had an ounce of sense or courage they would vote for any party other than the Tories or Labour. But, sadly, most haven't.
    23
  2293. Ah, that rare breed, an honest and courageous judge. America needs far more of them. The UK also needs those in our supreme court to follow this example.
    23
  2294. Not half as arrogant as thinking it's OK to break ones word about IRREVOCABLE steps out of lockdown, and impose another (very damaging) one in October.
    23
  2295. Most of us would put good money on the man murdering his partner and kids and then topping himself.
    23
  2296. Is anyone in the least surprised by this? Have a look at how many people in senior positions in the FCA subsequently get nice cushy jobs at the banks they are meant to regulate. Am I the only one who remembers that in July the government promised that by the end of August the FCA would have sorted out greedy banks not passing on interest rate rises to their savers? Well, half way through September, they have still done bugger all! The FCA is 100% in the pocket of the banks.
    23
  2297. No thanks.
    23
  2298. Isn't funny how Russia is making such a big fuss over an attack claimed to have done only minor damage? I'm sure I'm not the only one who suspects that, once again, Ukraine has given Russia a massive, and very humiliating, arse kicking.
    23
  2299. Sadly, the pro-Hamas supporters will never believe that their "heroes" are using children as human shields. This is the main reason why so many civilians are dying, but the head of the UN won't call for this to cease.
    23
  2300. Sacked for revealing Home Office incompetence, by a man whose surname really doesn't suit him.
    23
  2301.  @romanz9342  Those at the Manchester arena would beg to differ!
    23
  2302. With a large majority there is no way of removing TTK for another 4½ years! By then we will have "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" displayed at each port of entry, because Labour will have turned the UK into a living hell.
    23
  2303. This is precisely why I've often suggested that to celebrate their "conversion" a pint and a pork chop would be in order. YouTube keep removing such comments!
    23
  2304. It should have rung alarm bells with anyone who wasn't mentally enfeebled!
    23
  2305. There are quite a few regions that desperately want out of Putin's Russian Federation. How often do they need to be told that there may never be a better time to make their bid for independence?
    23
  2306. Vermin eradication at its best! Getting Crimea back would be a wonderful Christmas present for Ukraine.
    23
  2307. MSM and YouTube is still working extremely hard to make sure the truth never comes out!
    23
  2308. The defining thing about this measure will be the interminable amount of time taken to implement it. By the time it happens it may well not matter to Ukraine. I'm absolutely convinced that countries like France, and especially Germany, are dragging their heels as much as possible, so as not to seriously upset Psycho Putin. I very much doubt that either of these countries give a damn if Russia overruns the whole of Ukraine. In fact, they will probably breath a massive sigh of relief.
    23
  2309. Why do so many people still believe superstitious nonsense in this day and age? Just like the Harry Potter books, both the Bible and Koran are works of fiction. And of the three the Harry Potter books are by far the most entertaining.
    23
  2310. You forget the two big excuses. The complete and utter cowardice of this government, coupled with the hard-ons they are getting from exercising dictatorial power. Of course lockdown should end. It's continuing to cause incredible suffering, but is anyone really stupid enough to think that Downing Street gives a toss about this?
    23
  2311. There's only one issue. One should not gratuitously torment (and kill) animals or take pleasure in seeing this done. No ifs, no buts, no excuses!
    23
  2312. Starmer is just like the rulers in the former Soviet Union. While everyone else suffered great hardship they enjoyed every luxury imaginable. And, of course, people who said things they didn't like got jailed.
    23
  2313. Why didn't they have the sense to flee or surrender to the Ukrainians? What did they think Putin's goons would do to those who refuse to fight?
    23
  2314. If Russia is genuinely low on ammunition then Ukraine really needs to take full advantage of this, and not take a long winter pause, which will give Russia ample time to restock.
    23
  2315. It is hard to know whether nearly 80% really do trust Putin, or just realise that bad things happen to those who are known not to.
    23
  2316. Maybe all those strikers are remembering that old rugby song: "It's the rich that get the pleasure, it's the poor that get's the pain. It's the same the whole world over. Ain't it just a bloody shame". Well it's high time the rich (most of whom are parasites) shared the burden!
    23
  2317. Amen to that.
    23
  2318. If it's like a third world country then a lot of Birmingham's population will now feel much more at home.
    23
  2319. Far more concerning to me is that Sunak would place someone as blatantly dim-witted as this ex fireplace salesman in a position of power. Is it really too much to ask that cabinet ministers be appointed based on their intelligence and ability?
    23
  2320. I'll reserve judgement until I see the Kerch bridge made permanently impassable, and other Russian supply lines also eliminated.
    23
  2321. This is a bit like having Mussolini visit you while you are fighting Hitler.
    23
  2322. Why didn't Dr. Fraser and others not say this 15 months ago, as people like me did then? Why didn't parents fight for their children's education and mental health? Right from very early on data was available that showed that young people were at negligible risk, and that the risk posed to most of those teaching them was very small. There has NEVER been any evidence to show that closing schools or universities had any significant impact on the course of this pandemic. Schools and universities should have continued as normal, throughout this facade, and exams should never have been cancelled. Our young people's education and mental health has been buggered to hell by a totally selfish and cowardly society.
    23
  2323. I've always admired Mossad, but this has taken that admiration to a new level.
    22
  2324. Way past time to keep ALL religion out of schools. Schools should help kids learn to think logically and rationally: not foster superstition.
    22
  2325. Just end the bloody license and make the BBC earn their keep like all other channels. Then you'll see a quick end to either the BBC's wokeness or the BBC itself.
    22
  2326. This is an act pure vindictive spite, by a government run by a bunch of nasty vicious little boys who are throwing a tantrum because the judge decided against them. By going against the judge's ruling they have clearly demonstrated that they have no respect for the laws that they expect others to abide by. I would like to think that those tennis players due to participate in this Open would show some decency, and solidarity with a fellow player, by now refusing to play unless he is reinstated.
    22
  2327. It's not just Labour. These horrific crimes went on for decades, and are probably still continuing. Little girls as young as 12 years old were raped and abused. Yet, in order not to upset certain groups, 100's, if not 1000's, of men have had a blind eye turned to the atrocities that they committed.
    22
  2328. It's called defending your country's borders, which is what MOST American citizens really want done, and the main reason Trump was elected. Most of us in the UK, and many European countries would dearly love to see the same thing done by our governments.
    22
  2329. Considering the pathetic sentences that were very recently handed out to two teens who murdered an 80 year old Indian man, for absolutely no reason, are attacks like this in the least surprising?
    22
  2330. If the "hard landing" turns out to be down to Iranian dissidents then it certainly could. Which is why Iran's despots will never admit it if this was the cause.
    22
  2331. The ONLY thing to consider is which option you prefer. If you prefer to go into work than do so. Bugger what the government wants!
    22
  2332. If Hamas weren't genocidal cowards, and genuinely cared about Palestinians in Gaza, then releasing the hostages would be a no-brainer. Release a few hundred civilians, who aren't soldiers, to save over a million Palestinians from lots of suffering and many deaths.
    22
  2333. Hope there were some Orcs near that dugout. You can never roast too many of them.
    22
  2334. Nobody with any self respect or an ounce of integrity would join either the current Conservative of Labour parties.
    22
  2335. Absolutely right! Kids go to school in the hope of learning to thing rationally and logically, not to have their minds filled with complete fantasy.
    22
  2336. I love it when it's moving tanks that are hit, because that usually means a few Orcs get roasted. Though it can be very distressing when an Orc escapes from its burning tank.
    22
  2337. If Ukraine falls then we will quickly learn how true this is!
    22
  2338. Ah, but Putin is like the cowardly school bully who doesn't expect his victims to hit back.
    22
  2339. About time that Moscow had a small taste of what Putin is inflicting on cities in Ukraine. Personally I'd have gone for taking out a major metro interchange. Then again, maybe it's just one of Putin's special operations to de-Nazify the shops in that mall.
    22
  2340. They need to keep this up THROUGHOUT the winter, otherwise, like last year, the Orcs will install a massive amount of defences.
    22
  2341. Tourism is a substantial part of Turkey's economy. If Erdogan attempts to block Sweden's and Finland's membership he may well find that all decent people decide to holiday in Greece instead of Turkey.
    22
  2342. A recent report said that about £45,000 per year is being spent on each illegal immigrant. That's a lot more than most people earn. It's also come to light that the NHS is prioritising illegals. I'm not making any of this up. People who have lived and worked here all their lives, and paid taxes, are now being treated as second class citizens.
    22
  2343. Sweden and Finland definitely seem to tick all the boxes. Considering quickly things became very bad in Ukraine they really should be FAST TRACKED in with a week or two.
    22
  2344. Let's get real. The French want these illegals even less than we do. So of course they aren't going to interfere with a problem that, for them, is solving itself. Seriously, if all our illegals started heading back to France, or decided to paddle to the Irish Republic, would we try that hard to stop them?
    22
  2345. Proud to have had a Polish father.
    22
  2346. We seem to be hearing such reports virtually every week, and it's always the usual suspects. But how many incidents like this go unreported?
    22
  2347. What's made Brexit now vastly more popular has been the ultra fascist manner in which most EU countries have treated their populations during this pandemic. So many of us remainers are now very happy the vote went the other way.
    22
  2348. No trials, no deradicalisations. MI5 need to earn their keep and take out people like Salman Abedi, and any bent lawyers that make a fuss about it!
    22
  2349. I don't think young people should be vaccinated, unless they have underlying health problems. However, given that Downing Street has burnt the book on medical ethics, giving them a choice through bribery is much less evil than coercing them, by making their lives impossible.
    22
  2350. I bet Trump would like to make Ukraine pay reparations for this.
    22
  2351. mRNA?
    22
  2352. The hope of Trump becoming president is what's keeping Putin, and support for him, going.
    22
  2353. These really need to be used extensively in the South, and to also sink Russian ships if possible. And Ukraine needs to be given vastly more of them ASAP.
    22
  2354. About 40 years ago I used to work for the Home Office. While a few were definitely very clever and hard working, I can tell you that the vast majority really were consummate skivers, and also none too bright. If you can't get a decent day's work out of most civil servants when they are in the office, what's the chance of it when they are at home?
    22
  2355. If there is one thing Russia is vastly better at then any other country it's committing war crimes. In both scale and variety Russia is the undisputed master in this field.
    22
  2356. If, as those airbase strikes seem to indicate, Ukraine can reach deep inside Russia, then it's way past time to take out as much as possible of Moscow's power, water and transport infrastructure. This is by far the best way to discourage such attacks.
    22
  2357. A significant number of regions really want out of the Russian Federation. Only fear keeps them in. But as Moscow becomes weaker they will be more emboldened to make a bid for freedom from Putin's evil empire. As soon as one makes a move lots of others will follow. This, in fact, is now one of Putin's greatest fears.
    22
  2358. I wish the French every success in protecting their country. Unfortunately, a win for the right will lead to a stampede of illegal immigrants across the channel. So let's pray that most British voters have enough sense of self preservation to vote Reform UK.
    22
  2359. Well done France and Germany. If Putin is cursing you then you must be doing something right.
    22
  2360. YouTube STILL bans people from questioning it!
    22
  2361. The only dirt is the total crap the desperate Putin keeps coming out with.
    22
  2362. Apparently there where about 600 Orcs in that school building, which was completely flattened, almost instantly, when the the stored ammo exploded. So even the Ukrainian estimate of 400 killed may be on the low side. Let's see how much that anger mounts when Russian people discover that the true death toll is about 5 times higher.
    22
  2363. Fear not. Illegal migrants will be kept warm and well fed: that's what really matters to TTK.
    22
  2364. The "right decision" would have been to remove restrictions much earlier, or never have had them. The "right decision" would have been to rely on vastly better natural immunity and not waste billions on dodgy vaccines.
    22
  2365. I'm so glad you mentioned forced marriages and FGM. These are still rife in the UK, but the law turns a blind eye to it. Also, if you asked all those girls who go to school in hajibs, and they felt safe confiding in you, you would find that the vast majority of them are forced to wear them. Call me an islamophobe and a racist, but I harbour the naive notion that a country's laws apply to everyone regardless of race or religion.
    22
  2366. How did it get this bad? Because we have a PM who isn't particularly bright, and is also too frightened to make the tough calls. And the same could be said for the previous tow PMs.
    22
  2367. Hate to break it to you Harry, but most of us don't like whinging mummy's boys.
    22
  2368. When things like this happen I remember my all time favourite American saying: "don't get mad, get even".
    22
  2369. I'm sick to death of having to quote Voltaire to the ignorant British. "I may detest what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it". Isn't strange how the right to free speech was enshrined in the US constitution, but we have nothing like it here in the UK. When most Brits say they believe in free speech what they really mean is that people have the right to express the same opinion as themselves, or otherwise keep their mouths shut.
    22
  2370. Looks like Putin needs some of our Elf & Safety fanatics to teach their Orcs: "don't drink vodka and smoke next to the live ammo".
    22
  2371. Like so many others, I wish our government had a mass deportation plan: rather than a mass prison release plan.
    22
  2372. Am I the only one waiting to hear that "due to an administrative hiccup" the body has been accidentally cremated?
    22
  2373. "Lost ammunition over the city", "abnormal descent of ammunition" LMAO. Most entertaining article in a long time. With a "leader" like Putin who needs enemies.
    22
  2374. When Sunak was at school he was probably the kid that had his dinner money stolen and his head put down the bog. And age hasn't made him any braver.
    22
  2375. Moscow really needs to get the same treatment!
    22
  2376. Blame cowardly Hamas, not Israel. In Ukraine their soldiers do everything they can to get their civilians out of harm's way, often at considerable risk to themselves. In total contrast Hamas, and Hezbollah, have a deliberate policy of using human shields, and regard civilian deaths as beneficial propaganda. Too many people don't want to hear this hard truth.
    22
  2377. Kira, those of us with even a modicum of intelligence have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Russia will break this agreement very soon, and probably try to gain a military advantage from it.
    22
  2378. Spot on! I've made a similar comment. When I was a classroom teacher I can remember Muslim girls telling me that their parents forced them to wear oppressive clothing.
    22
  2379. Just imagine how much more damage Labour can do in the approximately 1700 days remaining: and with a large majority there's no way of stopping them!
    22
  2380. Petrol and diesel cars run most efficiently at between 35 - 55 mph. So much for all the fuss made about reducing fossil fuels and improving air quality. 20mph will do the opposite for both of these!
    22
  2381. Miliband wants to carve out a page in the history books for himself, even if he has to carve out the heart of Britain to do it.
    22
  2382. My condolences to the families of those pilots. With so many Orcs that still need exterminating this is a sad loss for Ukraine.
    22
  2383. More than ever, Ukraine needs to double down on this. And, in view of Trump wanting to let Putin keep all the land he stole, that bridge he loves so much urgently needs to come down.
    22
  2384.  @Maperator  Says another Putin fan boy.
    22
  2385. Congratulations to India, though I didn't think they would succeed. And the icing on the cake is this will really rub Putin's nose in it. What was that about sanctions on Western technology not hurting?
    22
  2386. If this is indeed the case then hopefully Ukrainian forces will enjoy a good turkey shoot. Dead Orcs don't come back to fight another day, or get deployed elsewhere: you can never kill too many of them.
    22
  2387. Pity this nurse didn't appear before a judge with the courage and integrity to throw the case out.
    22
  2388. I want to see our young people have the same chance to own a home as I had when I was their age, or be able to rent at a fair price. I'd therefore like to see an almighty crash in house prices: throughout the country.
    22
  2389. And still there isn't a single Royal Navy frigate patrolling the channel to turn these boats back!
    22
  2390. I guess that with his incontinence he didn't want the rest of the congregation making a dash for the doors.
    22
  2391. This overpaid boss knew that he had to be available in the event of an emergency, and made damn sure that he wasn't. This is gross misconduct, warranting instant dismissal.
    22
  2392. If at all possible the Kerch Bridge must be taken out before winter. If enough of Russia's supply lines are taken out then Father Frost will give Ukraine a big helping hand in January and February.
    22
  2393. So what happens if you aren't pathetic enough to need a smart phone?
    22
  2394. This Pfizer boss should have enough confidence in his company's vaccine to have had his two jabs and now feel sure that he could dance naked up and down a covid-19 ward without contacting it. Saying he is going to continue wearing a mask looks REALLY BAD for Pfizer.
    22
  2395. Yep, Putin is doing his best to frighten off the inspectors!
    22
  2396. Please don't blame the pandemic. It was the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions that destroyed so many otherwise healthy businesses.
    22
  2397. Would that be the depot with the sign painted on its roof that says "weapons missiles stored here"?🤣
    22
  2398. Amazing how much damage Russia has done to cities in the Donetsk region that are ostensibly populated by those who support Russia and Putin. As they say: with friends like these...
    22
  2399. Over 620 MPs didn't want, or couldn't be arsed, to do anything.
    22
  2400. Patrick you are so right about those remote appointments. They are an absolute scandal. A couple of years ago it was unthinkable that a sick person would be fobbed off with having to talk to a doctor on the phone or over zoom. Any decent doctor should be ashamed to operate in this manner, and we all need to fight against it. I bet fat boy Boris always gets to see a doctor in person.
    22
  2401. Another stupid lying minister. Other than feeding the government's scaremongering propaganda machine, test a trace has been a colossal waste of the taxpayers money, and many people's time. It really hasn't made a blind bit of difference, at least in any positive sense! These days it seems practically impossible to find any minister who is decent and honest, though, to be fair, Sunak seems to have more or less kept his nose clean.
    22
  2402. La pire erreur serait que l’Occident et Israël laissent à l’Iran toute capacité militaire, ou son régime actuel.
    22
  2403. Just another example of how truly desperate Putin is becoming.
    22
  2404. I've lived in New Zealand, Germany and Italy, and without the slightest doubt UK wins hands down when it comes to the proportion of fat people: especially hideously fat. But then, because of political correctness the UK has gone the extra mile to normalise being a lard bucket. Considering the health risks, making people feel good about being fat is definitely not doing them any favours.
    22
  2405. Watching Putin is like going along to the local looney bin to be entertained by the antics of your favourite insane inmate. You never know what completely crazy thing they are going to say next.
    22
  2406. Someone needs to compile and publish a list of rogue GPs, who don't want to see patients. Or perhaps we could have a website where people could rate their GPs, and comment on them.
    22
  2407. That's exactly why so many want to see us sensible people jabbed. Misery loves company!
    22
  2408. Excellent, though yesterday's blowing up of a pipeline near St. Petersburg was even better. I hope we will see a lot more of both these kinds of explosions: both in type, and what side of the border they are on.
    22
  2409. If ever there was a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face it has to be slamming a 20% tax on private schools. By choosing private education parents are saving the state (us taxpayers) the cost of educating their children. A 20% tax will, exactly as Labour intends, cause many parents to abandon private schools, so overall the cost of educating kids in state schools will rise. Many private schools will even have to close, putting all their staff out of work. And don't be naive enough to believe that most of the unemployed teachers will end up in hell-hole state schools. Many won't want to, and often the schools won't want those who aren't used to the zoo-keeping needed in so many state schools.
    21
  2410. Does anyone remember how really bad kids were sent to exotic places on luxury holidays while good, decent kids were lucky if they even made it to a British beach a couple of times? I wonder if this is still going on?
    21
  2411. Someone else has mentioned the cost of housing. Violent criminals, whom society needs to be protected from, should be forced by whatever means necessary to work to pay he cost of keeping them locked up. If we don't make them pay then they continue to hurt society by diverting money that could otherwise be used for worthy causes.
    21
  2412. Feels even better to be a pure blood.
    21
  2413. Any half-decent accountant would display a level of competence way beyond that of Starmer!
    21
  2414. I hear that a lot of virgins are now sleeping more peacefully.
    21
  2415. Don't hold your breath waiting for this genius PM to explain why Egypt won't take these Gazans at any price.
    21
  2416. What disgusts me, as much as the Australian government, is that mainstream media is vigorously suppressing the news that quite a few tennis players, with integrity, have withdrawn from the Australian Open, in protest of the government's appalling treatment of Novak.
    21
  2417. And don't forget folks. If you die within 28 days of wearing frilly underwear it's the lace that killed you.
    21
  2418. Well she made up her CV, so why stop there?
    21
  2419. It would be funny were it not for the fact the most of his fellow ministers are at least as thick, and these people are supposed to be running the country!
    21
  2420. Red Russian sky at night, free world's delight.
    21
  2421. Better to endure a bad winter than to endure being under the yoke of a deranged psychopath and his Orcs.
    21
  2422. The phrase "Russian intelligence" was used. That's an oxymoron.
    21
  2423. What about targeting rampant, and illegal, ageism, that keeps so many older people out of work? For example, despite schools being desperately short of STEM teachers, there are many older ones who can teach their subjects really well, but who schools don't want to touch because they cost more, and are harder to bully.
    21
  2424. I'm guessing that Orbán is now feeling very nervous.
    21
  2425. Hell to the slaughter Russian Orcs!
    21
  2426. The only Russian badass now is Putin's incontinent one.🤣
    21
  2427. He probably expects his mate Cressida, who he has looked after to now return the favour.
    21
  2428. Any ceasefire will allow Hamas to regroup, and they have already vowed to repeat the atrocities of 7th Oct.
    21
  2429. Many thousands of Muslim girls will thank Le Pen for this, from the bottom of their heart! A couple of years ago I was out for a walk on a sweltering day. I came across a Muslim family. Dad and sons were in nice cool shorts and T-shirts, but the poor mother was covered from head to toe in black.
    21
  2430. Well dishonesty, and hypocrisy, are the watchwords of this government, so they want to make sure nobody else is caught with his pants down or fingers in the till.
    21
  2431. How typically Russian: slow and plodding.
    21
  2432. Let's hope they remember Wagner, and what happens if your rebellion is only half-hearted.
    21
  2433. Let's not forget that if Sunak or his family need medical attention their immense wealth will get them almost instant access to some of the best specialists in the world.
    21
  2434. This is what the Nazis did to British cities during the Blitz, so it's no surprise to see Putin doing the same. It didn't work on Britain then, and it won't work on Ukraine now. However, when all this is over we need to remember to exact heavy payback from Iran for supplying drones to Russia.
    21
  2435. There is so much infrastructure work in this country that urgently needs doing. Instead of keeping prisoners at great expense to the taxpayers it's way past time we had them paying their debt to society by working on chain gangs, overseen by guards with cattle prods for those who need a little encouragement.
    21
  2436. This won't surprise anyone who has ever worked for the civil service. Most civil servants are very far from being the sharpest pencils in the box, and few have much of a work ethic.
    21
  2437. Well, the vast majority of schools won't employ the older more experienced teachers, because they are more expensive. Their applications go straight in the bin, in favour of the very youngest and least experienced, many of whom are just trainees. As well as being better able to teach, many of these older teachers have contempt for all the PC nonsense. When I taught in the classroom I found that a good way of stopping two boys hitting each other was to say out loud "well lads, you know what they say, you always hurt the one you love". The rest of the class would laugh at them and they would stop messing around. Imagine what would happen if a teacher in the UK said that now.
    21
  2438. So business as usual. One law for MPs and their sidekicks, and another for the great unwashed.
    21
  2439. We really do need to IMMEDIATELY give Ukraine the means to protect itself against such attacks: which are war crimes. The Ukrainians need to be able to take out the launch sites for these missiles, even if they are deep inside Russia!
    21
  2440. One advertises precisely so that people can find you. The government could definitely find these people smugglers if they wanted to!
    21
  2441. Yeah, right Donald, and Hitler was a chief rabbi.
    21
  2442. So, let me get this right. Truss expects to be forgiven for her mistakes, but she was perfectly happy to sack Kwasi for doing EXACTLY what SHE told him to.
    21
  2443. Imagine having an animal like that sat next to you for 4 hours.
    21
  2444. People like me predicted this, but millions queued up to collect their Darwin award.
    21
  2445. The kids in the UK, who have had their education and mental health buggered to hell by frightened, selfish snowflakes, could have really done with someone like DeSantis calling the shots.
    21
  2446. Lineker and the BBC are a perfect match for one another. Since the 7th October the BBC hasn't once called Hamas a terrorist organisation. In fact, I'm struggling to recall if the BBC has even condemned Hamas.
    21
  2447. When there is no proper justice system in a country then it makes far more sense, and is far more effective, to secretly go out at night and take out police who serve such a system, rather than openly voice ones opposition.
    21
  2448. There's now talk of Labour's dancing queen wanting to make it a double-whammy by ending the already less than fair 25% discount on council tax. Council tax is meant to pay for the services that EACH PERSON receives from our councils, so there should probably be at least a 50% discount. In fact, by far the fairest system would have been the Poll Tax, which is why Margaret Thatcher introduced it.
    21
  2449. And you know one thing that would REALLY help? If people stopped wasting the food they bought. Off the top of my head I think around 30% of food goes into people's bins. As someone who wastes virtually no food, I find this absolutely disgusting.
    21
  2450. One can just imagine the rent boys queuing up for Michael Gove.
    21
  2451. "Tony Blair never does anything unless there's something in it for him" He's been taking lessons from his wife then. It was said that even if she organised a charity do she always made sure that it was a nice little earner for herself.
    21
  2452. Yes it should. It needs to prepare to defend itself against Emperor Xi's minions, and not get taken by surprise.
    21
  2453. The exact wording used by South African doctors to describe this variant is EXTREMELY MILD. This looks more and more likely by the day. If this is indeed the case then the last thing we want is Bogus Boris stopping its spread, because it has the very real potential to displace more dangerous variants, and maybe even SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions.
    21
  2454. You've got to see the funny side of this. These are Putin fanboys visiting Kyiv. I guess he didn't get the memo.
    21
  2455. Absolutely. One less rabid fundamentalist in the world. Lots more of the same please.
    21
  2456. Electric cars might work for certain types of company, or even certain self-employed people. But for anyone who planned to drive their car a long way from their home buying one was the height of stupidity. When it comes to energy density petrol is the undisputed king.
    21
  2457. It makes my blood boil when I think of how our useless police treated those women having a peaceful vigil for Sahar Everard, who one of their own raped and murdered. Yet they handle these nut jobs with kid gloves.
    21
  2458. Because our government think we are there to serve them, rather than it being the other way round.
    21
  2459. This is what Putin has wet dreams about, and what keeps him going. Does the West really not know how much Russia is hurting? If anything, we should be increasing aid to Ukraine. The Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan after vastly smaller losses. If the West remains resolute and united against Putin he will definitely crack before much longer. There's even a chance that the Russian Federation itself will break up: which is actually one of Putin's greatest fears.
    21
  2460. I hope this is another lot in addition to the ones reported a few days ago.
    21
  2461. La plupart des gens decents seraient d'accord avec vous, et des millions de personnes seraient heureuses d'exécuter une telle sentence. Mais YouTube supprimera ou cachera la plupart de ces sentiments, et probablement celui-ci aussi, c'est pourquoi je l'ai écrit en français, car les script kiddies ont plus de mal à gérer les langues étrangères.
    21
  2462. Just like the school bully, who runs crying to the teacher when the little kid half his size hits him back.
    21
  2463. These ships need "accidents" to turn them into proper ghosts.
    21
  2464. This is the kind of thing we need to continue, but that Trump is so keen to stop, which will help Putin immensely.
    21
  2465. Most people were stupid enough to believe this!
    21
  2466. Young people are at really tiny risk from covid-19. There is no justification for giving this group rushed through vaccines which we cannot possibly know the long term effects of.
    21
  2467. Those who fear and hate the thought of a Labour government now need to understand that the best way of keeping Starmer out of No.10 is to vote Reform UK. And mainstream multimedia needs to do its duty to British democracy and air as many Reform UK party political broadcasts as those of any other party!
    21
  2468. Just made a similar comment. The very corrupt Irish government has always screwed the people it is meant to serve.
    21
  2469. As any honest teacher or university lecturer will tell you, many young people can't properly manage themselves until the hit their twenties!
    21
  2470. Most young Muslim girls will bless the French education minister. When I was a classroom teacher I had Muslim girls tell me that they only wore oppressive clothing because their parents forced them to. If it weren't for doormat mothers and cavemen fathers most young Muslim girls would choose to dress like other young teenage girls.
    21
  2471. About as many who regret not getting a "Prince Albert".
    21
  2472. Victory in Ukraine has been existential for Putin for some time, and his need to show some victory there grows with every passing day. There are only two possible ways this can be resolved: with a crushing military defeat for Russia, or the "removal" from power of Putin and his cronies.
    21
  2473. If these ministers weren't so intensely stupid (or didn't have lots of energy shares) they would know that tip-toeing round the edges isn't going to cut it. One way or another (nationalisation?) energy producers in the UK, or in UK territorial waters, must be FORCED to sell their energy, at a very small profit, to the UK consumer.
    21
  2474. Wes should have added that getting it chopped off doesn't make you a woman either.
    21
  2475.  @briancarno8837  Only in your imagination.
    21
  2476. One of the things about nuclear weapons is that you can't just sit them on the shelf for years, or even decades, and be sure they will still work. Checking them and keeping them in order is seriously expensive. Fortunately this is something the US has done and Russia hasn't.
    21
  2477. To think, people elected this rabble to rule them.
    21
  2478. It's very distressing when one sees an Orc escaping. I just hope there was more than one in that tank.
    21
  2479. What needs to be dealt with are the rabid fundamentalist dictators, and the misogynistic Gestapo that carry out their orders!
    21
  2480. Both Hungary and Turkey have proved themselves to be staunch Putin allies!
    21
  2481. I've often said similar before, and just made a similar comment. Many of these lawyers are known to have encouraged their clients to lie, and yet nothing is ever done to them. Makes you wonder what the Law Society is for. It's certainly not there to police its members.
    21
  2482. For something like this to happen somebody is guilty of truly spectacular incompetence.
    21
  2483. They are in some other countries. But Sunak is afraid of losing the Muslim vote if he does what's right.
    21
  2484. A bit like Blair then. A champagne socialist, very concerned that OTHER people might have too much. In the old Soviet Union Lammy would have been enjoying his dacha on the Black Sea, while working families struggled to swing a cat in their miniscule high rise flats.
    21
  2485. Does dobbing in your mates include dobbing in your fellow MPs and ministers?
    21
  2486. As a kid I really hated drag shows, which I regarded as weird and unnatural.
    21
  2487. In what insane world does one side get to unilaterally declare a truce whenever they feel like it, and for whatever random period they choose? Especially when that side will, without the slightest doubt break such a truce.
    21
  2488. Brillant. C'est exactement le genre d'attaque contre le pont que je réclame depuis plus d'un an. Après ce qui s'est passé il y a quelques jours, Poutine pourrait ne pas survivre à cette nouvelle humiliation massive et très publique.
    21
  2489. Yes, this is exactly what it seems to be, except that this time regular soldiers and conscripts are dying, rather than criminals and mercenaries. The difference won't matter to Putin, but it might to those back in Russia: assuming they every learn about the slaughter.
    21
  2490. It wouldn't surprise me to see dinghy boys being welcomed ashore with a slice of cake and nice cup of tea.
    21
  2491. It makes me sick and angry when I see most of those who wear medals. ONLY those who have performed some exceptional act of bravery or selflessness should wear medals.
    20
  2492. BBC and ITV are still not covering things like this. Mustn't give the great unwashed ideas.
    20
  2493. Do people not realise that Greece is pleasantly warm even in December, which is when I can remember walking around a fairly empty Acropolis in a T-shirt. The same is true of Delhi, and you will more or less have the place to yourself, instead of coaches parked head to tail the length of the valley.
    20
  2494. Like asking if the Pope is a Catholic. I live in Enfield. Forty years ago if you threw a stone anywhere between the River Lea and the A10 you stood a good chance of hitting a factory. They provided many thousands of jobs. Every single one of those factories is now gone! The ambition of most kids now leaving school is to avoid doing any kind of job that might produce something tangible.
    20
  2495. As Mark Twain remarked it's much easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled. Most people are too insecure to admit, even to themselves that they have been played for total suckers. And then there's the guilt that parents don't want to feel for letting their kids get unnecessarily treated with something that might turn out to be very bad.
    20
  2496. A turkey begging to get stuffed!
    20
  2497. Isn't it bloody obvious that you don't untie someone and let them go to the loo (right next to the exit) just before takeoff?
    20
  2498. As others have said this was a badly wasted opportunity to take Putin and all those standing near him out in one go. A good highly portable missile using either GPS or laser guidance could have done the job from a safe distance. Even better, one of Russia's own thermobaric missiles, needing a lot less accuracy, could have taken everyone in the area out.
    20
  2499. Unlike Russian claims a couple of days ago, for their own strikes, these weren't cardboard cutouts.
    20
  2500. Am I missing something here? If we are serious about driving Russia out of Ukraine then surely we should already have used every sanction we possibly can against Russia.
    20
  2501. Something about being cast into the sea with a millstone around ones neck comes to mind!
    20
  2502. A crucial part of living in a Democracy is that people are going to say things that will offend you. The police need to be severely dealt with when they infringe people's rights like this.
    20
  2503. No wonder Psycho Putin is running out of them for his 9th May victory parade.🤣🤣🤣
    20
  2504. So true. If I cast my mind back 40 or 50 years I can remember poor little rich kids desperately trying to justify their empty lives by hating Israel and supporting the PLO. It seems that only the names of the terrorists change.
    20
  2505. Very silly woman. At her age the risk posed by covid-19 is negligible, so why take a vaccine. I wonder if she pays to have the flu vaccine each year: she probably does. More to the point a young person who catches covid-19 will hardly even notice it. BUT after they recover they WILL have natural immunity, which may be far better than that provided by any vaccine. It may be much longer lasting and may also offer better protection against future variants and similar viruses. This young woman has now lost that chance.
    20
  2506. Let's get Finland's NATO membership done NOW!
    20
  2507. No one spends as much on fireworks, and does them as well, as Russia.
    20
  2508. What's happen with the Chagos Islands sounds like someone paying another person to have their house instead of selling it!
    20
  2509. I would be frightened to set foot in Turkey with Erdogan as president. But if an honest decent man replaces him then, like a lot of others, Turkey would go back on my holiday list, and fairly high up.
    20
  2510. If Biden's family care at all about him then they will strongly advise him to step aside.
    20
  2511. Those cluster munitions weren't sent to be used as mantlepiece ornaments. When are we going to see some videos of Orc trenches being cleaned out?
    20
  2512. I remembering being out for a walk on a stiflingly hot day a couple of years ago, and seeing a caveman family. The father and his sons were dressed in shorts and T-shirts, while the mother was swaddled from head to toe in black.
    20
  2513. Don't you know, if it's directed against whites or Jews then it doesn't count as race hate.
    20
  2514. Great to see some of the Orc infestation being cleared.
    20
  2515. If Sunak wasn't incredibly stupid and cowardly he would have backed Suella all the way. Labour will be dancing for joy at this sacking. Suella articulated exactly what MOST people are thinking.
    20
  2516. Beaucoup d'entre nous ont dit que si le Parti travailliste était élu, il y aurait un tsunami de migrants illégaux. Qu'est-ce que les électeurs travaillistes n'ont pas compris ?
    20
  2517. You see, pedal power really is much better for your health: and wealth.
    20
  2518. The trouble is that Putin's fantasies are strongly fuel by Trump's unwillingness to do anything to upset him. And by European "leaders" coalition of the willing not being willing to do anymore than spout cheap and easy talk.
    20
  2519. The US knows that a ceasefire would be a gift to Hamas, allowing them to regroup, reequip and dig in. That is why any ceasefire must be contingent on ALL remaining hostages being released. Israel has been very clear that under these very reasonable conditions it would offer a ceasefire.
    20
  2520. I clicked on this video to check that one particular slime-ball wasn't in the cabinet, and was much cheered by the absence of Michael Gove.
    20
  2521. One would have thought that the oligarchs had enough money to find a very quick solution to Putin damaging their businesses.
    20
  2522. While one might not want to hold a sleep over there, the Guardian is grossly exaggerating the danger. People who took a certain vax in the last couple of years should be far more worried about that.
    20
  2523. And also the qualifications of the teachers!
    20
  2524. Unfortunately this won't surprise many people. And as well as this the NHS has about 3 times as many management and admin staff as it needs. These parasites are like a virulent cancer, sucking the life out of the NHS and our hardworking doctors and nurses.
    20
  2525. No competition there. Documents discovered a few months ago showed that migrants are being given PRIORITY!
    20
  2526. Or the Kremlin, when the Duma was sitting.
    20
  2527. Very good news. If Hungary doesn't like this then it can leave the EU, and not a single other member state will mourn it doing so. It's also more or less certain that Hungary won't honour its treaty obligations to NATO.
    20
  2528. How often does it have to be said, and by how many? Unless it's below -10° C it should be illegal to cover your face in public: no religious or germaphobe exceptions.
    20
  2529. Great for flushing Orcs out of their trenches and clearing the minefields that they laid.
    20
  2530. I live in a bought council house. But there are still a fair number on the street owned by the council. About half an hour ago I saw a couple in their mid 20's to 30's saunter by with a massive Alsatian. They were also vaping and on their mobile phones. The pair of them are certainly well enough to be in work, so why aren't they? They are probably on a vastly reduce rent, with each of them picking up full unemployment benefit. Multiply this by several million and it's little wonder that our economy is close to collapse!
    20
  2531. Actually I was reminded of cockroaches being stamped on.
    20
  2532. You know the country is deep in it when the deputy PM is someone who left school at 16 without any qualifications! Whenever Angela Rayner stands in for TTK I'm reminded of the emergency blowup pilot in Airplane.
    20
  2533. Why are people still calling it grooming?
    20
  2534. Says one of Emperor Xi's rent boys.
    20
  2535. Let's not forget that the Kremlin already "knows" the results of elections to be held in Russia in about a year's time.
    20
  2536. If you say what most of us would like to see happen to these hotels then you get 31 months in jail!
    20
  2537. Liberate in Russian obviously means something very different than what most of us think it does.
    20
  2538. The Ukrainian winter can be very cold, so lets keep those Orcs toasty warm.
    20
  2539. This is like visiting your local lunatic asylum and watching the inmates repeatedly bashing their heads against the wall.
    20
  2540. Well months ago I predicted: "Coming to a cinema near you in time for Christmas, the bad-ass Omega variant that's going to kill us all." Maybe the WHO should team up the The Asylum to make that show.🤣
    20
  2541. I wonder what the oligarchs, who keep Putin in power are thinking about all this. It seems to me that this would not be in their best interests, and with the kind of money and influence that anyone of them has they would be easily able to remove Putin, one way or another.
    20
  2542. Why should the home secretary be sacked for saying what a large majority of us are saying?
    20
  2543. There are quite a few regions of Russia that desperately want out of the Russian Federation. They should unite together to take advantage of Russia's current weakness, as such a good opportunity may not come again.
    20
  2544. The coronation will entice a hell of a lot of tourists into the country, so it might just turn out to be a wise investment.
    20
  2545. Is anyone really at all surprised by this? We are talking about rabid animals that shoot little girls for going to school.
    20
  2546. Make Putin's beloved Kerch bridge completely and permanently unusable and that push might get a lot easier.
    20
  2547. So talented, those Russian Orcs, being able to bombard Ukrainian troops that are invisible to the rest of us.
    20
  2548. While it doesn't affect me, I think inheritance tax is incredibly unjust. It should be renamed Envy Tax.
    20
  2549.  @amranxtv3261  You Hamas supporters are already fooled.
    20
  2550. ​ @jamesdawson2510  The bridge is used to supply the military. It's also very high profile. So it's proper destruction would have a major psychological impact.
    20
  2551. Collateral damage in a special operation to de-Nazify the coffee.
    20
  2552. A special operation to de-Orcify Russia.
    20
  2553. The U-turns were absolutely necessary, but sacking a chancellor whom simply did EXACTLY what she had told him to do was dishonourable and dishonest. I have far more respect and trust for people who own up to making a mistake, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat. I'm guessing many others, including a lot of Tory MPs share my opinion on this.
    20
  2554. If these people hadn't been trying to enter Britain ILLEGALLY they would still be alive! We absolutely shouldn't be making a fuss, or beating ourselves up, over this.
    20
  2555. Think of just how careful we were about Hammersmith Bridge. To reopen the Kerch bridge so quickly, without having a thorough inspection by engineers, shows just how embarrassed and humiliated Putin is by this. As a deranged psychopath who doesn't value life, this reopening is a desperate attempt to salvage some credibility.
    20
  2556. Sharia law comes to Scotland!
    20
  2557. Does anyone honestly believe that this massive infrastructure got created without the full knowledge and cooperation of most Palestinians? The majority who are now suffering have EARNED that suffering!
    20
  2558. Call a spade a spade: pro-Hamas protest.
    20
  2559. As someone else suggested, if a sniper took him out most Victorians would probably pin a medal on the shooter.
    20
  2560. Trying to do everything on the cheap has been the British way for several decades now, so this is nothing new. In fact a report in the Times Educational Supplement, a few days ago, has shown just how successful UK schools have been at this. The quality of teachers in them is now among the lowest in the world due to outstanding success in purging most of the older and more experienced teachers: not that most parents seem to care.
    20
  2561. Cressida Dick definitely has not served the best interests of Londoners, in the past 20 months, otherwise Sarah Everard would still be alive. But, by concentrating on enforcing lockdown oppression, instead of REAL crime, she carried out the wishes of the Downing Street Dictators. They are actually very pleased to have someone who can put aside any moral scruples to better serve her tyrant masters, and so they are protecting her.
    20
  2562. An earlier estimate today said 1 in 100. A back of envelope calculation on the lower number shows that around £2.5 billion a year of OUR taxes is being squandered on these people: while pensioners are expected to freeze.
    20
  2563. Putin should have been a comedian. So, trying to help a country maintain its independence is having "imperial ambitions". Silly me, thinking that launching unprovoked invasions of other countries better fitted that description.
    20
  2564. This is just like the videos you see of rats on a farm being taken out at night with an air rifle. Of course the main difference is that one can feel a bit of sympathy for the rats.
    20
  2565. I see someone beat me to remarking that too many corrupt individuals have been allowed to become MPs.
    20
  2566. For all it's veracity, Putin might as well be waving a piece of used toilet paper.
    20
  2567. Like the US we should have bounty hunters!
    20
  2568. What I can't understand is why Kiwis, who are usually fairly sensible, ever elected someone as blatantly thick as Jacinda Ardern. She wouldn't even make the audience of University Challenge!
    20
  2569. The despicable act of a spiteful and vindictive government, who won't even accept the verdict of their own judges.
    20
  2570. Shame on you. Everyone in India is absolutely free to agree with Modi.
    20
  2571. Medicating only when needed has proven to be a guiding principle, since Paracelus, and is now firmly enshrined in medical ethics. Or at least it was, until despots and tyrants decided that the book on ethics should be burned. Probably 80% to 90% should never have been vaccinated!
    20
  2572. It's hard to see how the Canadian parliament is letting him get away with what is pure despotism.
    20
  2573. Well one less vehicle and a few less pigs is always good.
    20
  2574. God, how I'd love to toss a few canisters of Novichok into that gathering, but I'd settle for Napalm.
    20
  2575. In these very challenging economic times, am I the only one deeply angered at the way the government wastes OUR money on hare-brained schemes like Rwanda? Australia showed us how to handle this many years ago. You use a remote island to detain these people on, where they have absolutely no hope of ever setting foot on the UK mainland. There are plenty of bleak Scottish islands that would fit the bill perfectly.
    20
  2576. Just imagine some Sharron or Tracy receptionist, with barely a few scrapped GCSEs to her name, deciding on whether you are worthy to see the doctor.
    20
  2577. Just like in the UK, a Labour government promising to cut migration is like a Iman promising to eat a pound of pork sausages and wash them down with a few pints of beer.
    20
  2578. I don't think many wouldn't agree that the tweet was offensive. However living in a free country means people have the right to say and write things that others may be deeply offended by. Freedom and democracy is for everybody, not just those we agree with!
    20
  2579. Imagine what would happen if a student union voted to expel Muslim students.
    20
  2580. If supplies is the name of the game then another attack on the Kerch bridge, and a damn good attack on Belgorod, would be in order.
    20
  2581. Among many other reasons, why do you think it's so hard for most schools to get half decent STEM teachers. Even almost 50 years ago I can remember my chemistry teacher advising me not to consider teaching, and things were vastly better then.
    20
  2582. How come when I was growing up we didn't have thousands of kids insisting, despite all evidence to the contrary, that they were the other sex? It's like a perverse version of that baseball film: "if you build it they will come".
    20
  2583. And the WHO.
    20
  2584. What I love is the way Truss will quickly reverse the N.I. and cut income tax, but has no intention of fixing the pension rise which Rich Boy Sunak stole from millions of desperately struggling OAPs, when instead of getting their triple lock 10% they only got 3.1%. This is less than many benefit scroungers, who have never done a decent day's work in their life!
    20
  2585. Abstention is the coward's choice. Have the courage and decency to vote against what you disagree with. No wonder people have such contempt for politicians.
    20
  2586. Good! Go truckers! End the tyranny and the blockade will end. It's that simple.
    20
  2587. Hamas would benefit massively from any ceasefire. They would regroup, rearm and dig in. This would subsequently cost the lives of Israeli soldiers. Israel has offered a ceasefire if the INNOCENT hostages are released, but Hamas has declined. Why give them such a massive advantage for nothing?
    20
  2588. Look at what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower, in London, with far less resources than Ukraine. I can't help thinking that if something like this happened in Moscow after each attack on Ukrainian cities then these attacks would soon cease.
    20
  2589. Is it not illegal to set up an alternative court system?
    19
  2590. Nobody will be in the least surprised by this. Though people like me will wonder if the vetting, before being given a job in the home office is anywhere near as rigorous as it was 40 to 50 years ago.
    19
  2591. What amazes so many of us is that Democrats can't see that having Joe Biden as their leader is a true gift to Trump's presidential campaign: and one that keeps on giving generously.
    19
  2592. Belgorod has just had one of its power stations taken out, and the same needs to be done to a lot more. Russians need to get a really good taste of what Ukrainians are enduring.
    19
  2593.  @zaharabanoo6338  You are probably also a classic example of what we euphemistically call "care in the community". I've taught enough muslim girls to know the truth.
    19
  2594. Am I the only one who strong suspects that Trump wants to hand Putin total victory?
    19
  2595. It's like FGM, forced marriages, and the grooming gangs. Certain groups in this country are above the law.
    19
  2596. Which is why he won't be sacked. If a Christian job had let people off for a hate crime against Muslims he would already have been removed.
    19
  2597. All we need is for them now to be made to wear a yellow star, so that everyone can see how unclean they are.
    19
  2598. Nurses to indeed work very hard. And the overpaid managers and admin staff, who do nothing for patients work just as hard to make their lives as difficult as possible by burdening them with totally unnecessary paperwork!
    19
  2599. There's another famous saying. "All that is needed for evil to flourish is for good men to keep silent." This is what happened in 1930s Germany and we all know where it ended. Health grounds were also the rationalisation then.
    19
  2600. What I'm really worried about is that Labour will stop the benefit scroungers, who default on their bills, from being cut off. They will then use even more energy, and decent, honest, hard-working people will be forced to pay for them.
    19
  2601. It's a very simple truth that the very worst thing you can ever do is appease a bully or aggressor. All this achieves is cause even more grief to be piled on the appeaser.
    19
  2602. This convey was reported to have been 45 miles long at one stage. That's like having a protest stretch all the way from the centre of London to Reading, yet mainstream media decided that it wasn't newsworthy.
    19
  2603. Firstly, things are far better than last year, AND Omicron may well turn out to be a fluffy kitten, when it comes to making people sick. Secondly, after seeing the film of Boris's wife enjoying cheese and wine at his "business meeting", most people are in no mood to have their Christmas cancelled. An awful lot of police are going to have to have their Christmas leave withdrawn, to protect ministers, if they try it on.
    19
  2604. I was going to make a similar comment.
    19
  2605. How many times does Zelensky need to be told that if he did the same to Russian power plants then this might not be happening? If you are sticking to Queensbury rules while your opponent is kicking you in the balls then they WILL continue kicking you in the balls!
    19
  2606. Anyone who has ever worked for the Home Office will not be in the least surprised by this. Or if they are it will be that the figure isn't higher.
    19
  2607. So now is the time for Zelensky to wake up and understand that using those long-range missiles without US permission won't influence Trump's decision in the slightest, but could really help Ukraine.
    19
  2608.  @piddy44-hl5ln  Do I hear a Putin fanboy crying?
    19
  2609. Well don't hold you breath for either Sunak or Starmer to do it.
    19
  2610. Pure, unadulterated greed is destroying Spanish resorts. So many were once places of outstanding natural beauty, but this has been destroyed by vastly excessive tourist development. A wise nation would have settled for far less tourism, with a better quality of tourist paying a higher price for a holiday worth taking.
    19
  2611. Let's hope that we can cut off their supply lines first so that Father Frost can finish these Orcs off.
    19
  2612. Well, of course, if the Russian MoD says it then it must be true.🤣
    19
  2613. Either a liar or a fool. No, make that both.
    19
  2614. Well said! Munich 1938 taught us the severe consequences of not standing up to a deranged psychopath.
    19
  2615. How much money, that is needed urgently elsewhere, is going to be wasted keeping this fellow alive in prison?
    19
  2616. He was caught with a knife the week before. If there were immediate and mandatory custodial sentences for carrying a knife then Harvey would still be alive!
    19
  2617. Good luck with that complaint. If it's anything like the UK being Muslim is a "get out of jail" card for almost every crime in the book.
    19
  2618. "great sense of duty to our nation, of service to our nation.” Thanks for the laugh. The vast majority of politicians only feel a great sense of duty to their careers!
    19
  2619. Rather than trying to hold land against overwhelming artillery, focus on killing as many Orcs as possible. Well over 30,000 have already been put down, so keep up the good work and try to eradicate at least 10,000 more every month.
    19
  2620. Would you let in an organisation that is known to have given millions of dollars to Hamas?
    19
  2621. Perhaps a few of these oligarchs might like to add to the million dollar bounty that is already on Putin's head. Then it might encourage someone who can get close to him to do both the Russian people and the world a massive service. I wish we could crowd fund a bounty, because I'm guessing it would quickly reach over 100 million dollars, which would be irresistible.
    19
  2622. We need to stop pandering to Putin and playing his game. Ukraine is an independent country, and as such has the right to invite in any army it likes onto its own territory. It's way past time that NATO and the West went in and helped Ukraine, in the air and on the ground. Is Russia really going to escalate things to the point where there is fighting in its own territory. I very much doubt it.
    19
  2623. I'm not a Trump fan, but he is right that some NATO allies are freeloading and not paying their fair share: and not because they can't. With the US paying the lion's share, neither a Republican or Democrat president can sell this to the US taxpayer. And let's not forget that we have at least one NATO "ally", Hungary, that is actually acting against NATO's interest!
    19
  2624. Very few, if any of the African nations have properly functioning democracies, with governments that aren't highly corrupt. So it makes perfect sense that they would support Putin's regime, which is much closer to how they run things, than governments who value freedom and integrity. This is the same reason why China, North Korea, and Iran are firm Putin fanboys.
    19
  2625. Well as for being fickle, he was on the money in regard to Germany.
    19
  2626. Sadly this strike isn't really a big deal. Now if a LOT of damage could be done to a major station in Moscow, or if a major railway junction there was totaled then that would get the Russian people's attention.
    19
  2627. What Harry wants that William has? For Charles to really be his father?
    19
  2628. She also needs to wear a paper bag: maybe two.
    19
  2629. The Israelis have known for decades that women make great soldiers, because they are fighting to protect or avenge their families!
    19
  2630. Not immediately releasing descriptions of the victims and attacker only serve to increase distrust of the police and fuel rumours.
    19
  2631. This was unnecessary and nothing more than a bully boy government determined to exert its power. There is no reason why this animal couldn't have been given antibiotics and kept away from other animals while it got better.
    19
  2632. If only they had a lot more. I hear that summer is the best season to hunt Orcs.
    19
  2633. Do we really want someone who cheated millions struggling OAPs out of the pension rise they were entitled too? Because Rich Boy Sunak didn't honour the triple lock poor OAPs only got 3.1%: just ONE THIRD of what they were entitled to.
    19
  2634. My parents would have starved rather than leave their children alone at that age.
    19
  2635. There have been several embarrassing missile launch failures recently. Maintaining a nuclear war head is 100 times more difficult as what's in it is constantly changing due to radioactive decay. Also in the case of Plutonium there are 6 different phases at normal temperature and pressure, which also cause problems.
    19
  2636. What does book burning remind us of?
    19
  2637. Going back about 45 years I can remember when Telford was a nice civilized place to live.
    19
  2638. Most in this peace mission are either Putin fanboys, or have refused to condemn him. Peace is very easy to achieve. Russia needs to leave all of Ukraine, including Crimea, and cease all attacks. This is the ONLY acceptable scenario.
    19
  2639. In case you hadn't noticed. Government has done a piss-poor job of running this country.
    19
  2640. A very wise move, considering how Poo Tin's military exercises turned out.
    19
  2641. From what I've experienced on my last few grocery shops in Enfield Town you would never think that fuel and goods were too expensive, or that people are short of money. The shops are constantly heaving, and the roads are jam-packed solid.
    19
  2642. Good! Although I own my property, I hope prices drop by 3 or 4 times this rate, and very quickly. A house is somewhere to make ones home and live, not a means for somebody to make a quick buck at the expense of those less fortunate. If you want to make money try doing an honest day's work. I'd like to see young people enjoy the same opportunities to buy a property that I did.
    19
  2643. Before he was even elected people like me knew exactly what TTK was like, and that he would say and do anything to get his foot in No.10. Most people didn't listen, and most people are now very sorry that they voted so stupidly.
    19
  2644. Aw, a Putin fangirl who wants to have his babies.
    19
  2645. Those of us who aren't hopeless dreamers know that the WHO is totally incompetent. Trump had the right idea: defund this waste of space organisation.
    19
  2646. It's worse than not stopping them. The government is actually providing them with a ferry service. No wonder they keep coming.
    19
  2647. This will make Trump cry.
    19
  2648. If Biden had been the US president in May 1945 he would have sent his condolences for the death of Hitler.
    19
  2649. Doctors in South Africa, with the most experience of dealing with this variant, have described the symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. Perhaps it should be renamed the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    19
  2650. You got to love that video, and it seems a lot of Russians are heeding the advice in it.
    19
  2651. I know a certain ethnically diverse judge who will acquit them all, should they appear before him.
    19
  2652. No sane person should be swayed by nuclear threats. If ever such threats are seen to work they will be used again and again, and not just by Russia!
    19
  2653. Minimum wage is 2.5 times what an OAP has to survive on. Yet with heating bills about to go through the roof, and food prices also rising, the Tories are reneging on the "triple lock" that's there to protect the pensions of our poor old people. I'd call that very nasty.
    19
  2654. Let's see how rationally and calmly Emperor Xi handles things if the US decides to fly a balloon right across China.
    19
  2655. Many doubt that Russia can sustain the same rate of equipment and troop loses for too much longer. Also now, with Russia badly stretched, would be an excellent time for regions who want out of Putin's evil empire to make their move.
    19
  2656. Since this happened I've been saying that this proves that Mossad can get at the mad clerics running Iran: and their equally mad, and bad, Revolutionary Guard. And the thing is, most ordinary Iranians would bless them for doing so, and it might even give them the courage to overthrow their tyrants.
    19
  2657. Restore faith in the police? A good start would be to stop denying that two-tier policing is rampant: and to end it!
    19
  2658. Being compared to Tony Blair is a massive insult: and fitting.
    19
  2659. If it's as EXTREMELY MILD as South African doctors say then it's a pity Omicron infections won't be a lot higher, as they could safely give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY.
    19
  2660.  @JalaliSurkhposh  Is that an illegal immigrant I see posting?
    19
  2661. And zero trust in them.
    19
  2662. What you got to love is that once again we see a bent money-grabbing lawyer trying to keep a violent criminal out of prison.
    19
  2663. I'd like to go live in Hawaii, and could easily pay my way, but I can't just go live where I please. Imagine the reception I'd get if I rowed ashore there in a dinghy.
    19
  2664. It will be if Bogus Boris tries to cancel Christmas.
    19
  2665. I hope they also have lots of shells, as I'm sure they would like to return them to the Russians.
    19
  2666. Another very wise move that so many other countries need to emulate. Whatever you might think of Trump, he has lost no time doing exactly the kind of things that most of us would like our governments to do.
    19
  2667. Too busy hitting a stupid little ball around a golf course.
    19
  2668. This is not an inquiry. It is an exercise in exonerating the guilty. The two most important questions, which it will never ask are: 1. Should there have been lockdowns? 2. Should most people have been given vaccines that hadn't undergone proper phase 3 safety trials?
    19
  2669. I have an incredibly low opinion of Sunak, but I wouldn't trust Starmer to run a bath, let alone a country.
    19
  2670. With all the natural disasters China has been suffering one would think that Emperor Xi could better deploy his armed forces to give emergency aid to the Chinese that have suffered, rather than harassing Taiwan and others in the China Sea.
    19
  2671. The probability of getting three simultaneous leaks by chance is vanishingly small, so of course it was sabotage. However as Russia can simply lie about maintenance issues, when it doesn't want to supply gas, I can't see its motivation for doing this. If anything this should make Russia very worried about maintaining the integrity of its other pipelines: and its gas revenues. It should also "encourage" countries like Germany and Hungary to consider other energy supplies very quickly!
    19
  2672. As other posters have correctly pointed out, most Muslim teenage girls will be really grateful to the education minister. They just want to look like normal teenage girls, but are forced to wear this awful dress by their doormat mothers and cavemen fathers.
    19
  2673. Despite YouTube removing most such comments, and the lots of likes they get, most of us agree wholeheartedly with you.
    19
  2674. My father spent 2 years in a Russian labour camp simply for crossing from German to Russian occupied Poland. He saw many people die there and on the march there. Many years later, when he married, my mother told me that he used to sometimes wake up screaming.
    19
  2675. Multiculturalism cuts BOTH ways. First and foremost it means that you accept and respect the values of the country you, or your parents, have moved to.
    19
  2676. If that 1000lbs is the best yield high explosive and one of these can make it to one of the Kerch bridge supports then there is a damn good chance of permanently putting it out of action. A few divers using rebreather gear could get it through any protective underwater netting. If there are any trained dolphins then releasing cyanide into the water should take care of them.
    19
  2677. Here in the UK I think anything produced by a company called Johnson and Johnson is going to have a serious trust issue. We've already got a clown with just one Johnson in his name, who makes used car salesmen look like Mother Theresa.
    19
  2678. We are talking about mercenaries, not patriots who believe in fighting for a just cause. Most in Wagner are probably thinking of how best to drop off the Kremlin's radar before a fatal "accident" befalls them.
    19
  2679. If Labour get in they will be welcoming the dinghy boys with tea and biscuits, vouchers for McDonalds, and a free bus pass.
    19
  2680. AKA the Islamic Party.
    19
  2681. People have raised flags on Everest and the Moon, but it didn't mean they could stay there.
    19
  2682. Putin's attempt to intimidate the US is really pathetic.
    19
  2683. I'd like to see the image of Putin's face when he heard that India had made a successful landing.
    19
  2684. When he was amassing his troops on the Ukrainian border Putin claimed that he had no intention of invading Ukraine. How does that old saying go? Fool me once...
    19
  2685. J’ai posté plus tôt, en anglais, que les États-Unis et le Royaume-Uni auraient dû le faire il y a des mois.
    19
  2686. Yep. Another convincing video from Russian MoD Film Studios.
    19
  2687. Similar fearmongering by the Nazis was the prelude to the Holocaust!
    19
  2688. It's also been suggested that there are some Russian soldiers telling the Ukrainians where these generals are. The way the Russian army (doesn't) works means that you get a break from being cannon fodder when your commanding officer buys the farm.
    19
  2689. Lebanon previously got a really bad kicking from Israel. When the animals tell the zoo-keeper how to run things they seldom turn out well. Lebanon would do very well to reflect on this.
    19
  2690. She needs to make sure that she doesn't stand close to any upstairs windows!
    19
  2691. Pity it isn't making Austrians think about how Austria is behaving NOW!
    19
  2692. Perhaps we are seeing so many of these Iranian drones for the very simple reason that Putin has precious little else left when it comes to missiles: and he will very soon run out of these too. He's getting his butt kicked on the battle field, and his "partial mobilisation" is both unpopular and a complete mess. This stepping up of civilian murders might be the last efforts of a desperate and humiliated psychopath to frighten Ukraine into submission.
    19
  2693. About a century ago one could visit the local asylum and be entertained by the antics of the inmates. Now we can derive similar amusement by listening to Putin ranting.
    18
  2694. I'm sick of woke judges and lawyers who from the comfort of their safe armchairs feel that they have the right to persecute brave, honorable men who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms.
    18
  2695. Being really scared is normal and OK. But expecting others to fight and die for your freedom when you aren't prepared to is cowardly and unacceptable. It's the kind of thing we would expect from so many politicians and lawyers.
    18
  2696. Neither does YouTube, which removes any comments that are unfavourable towards hate preachers and terrorists.
    18
  2697. Perhaps this Palestinian should instead be denouncing Hamas for hiding among civilians and using them as human shields?
    18
  2698. Vile parents who still won't take responsibility for what's their own fault.
    18
  2699. So the far-left came out to demonstrate yesterday. No surprise there then.
    18
  2700. What about the will of the 23.5 million people that live in Taiwan? Don't they get a say? Perhaps the people in Taiwan would be better disposed towards the mainland if it weren't for the appalling way that China treated the people in Hong Kong when it was returned.
    18
  2701. With their Phoenix fast breeder reactor the French showed the world the way forward to net zero sustainable nuclear energy decades ago!
    18
  2702. I won't comment on the rights or wrongs of this case. All I will say is that it's much easier for some lawyer in a perfectly safe courtroom to say what should have happened than when you are in the heat of the moment and wondering if in a split second someone is going to pull a gun on you.
    18
  2703. What an incredibly stupid idea most people aren't mature at even 18, so if anything the age should be raised not lowered. But then Labour relies on the less bright and less savvy for its votes.
    18
  2704. Showing no willingness to tackle the tsunami of illegal immigrants was the Democrats' fatal flaw. As in Europe, most Americans are desperately worried about this. At the very best Democrats were seen to be complacent, but an awful lot of people regard them as actually being complicit!
    18
  2705. Having Harry and Megan around is like having a steaming turd in the corner while you are throwing a dinner party.
    18
  2706. It's really heartwarming to see the Taliban and IS killing each other.
    18
  2707. I bet Boris wished that Rich Boy Sunak was the target for a live-fire exercise.
    18
  2708. Has the coroner also said that the state of the body is consistent with it being in the water the whole time?
    18
  2709. ​ @electraruby  I wonder if the ordinary Irish people know that EU law allows people to work in another EU country, and seek work there. But it neither requires that they receive benefits, be allowed to beg on the streets, or stay if they commit crimes. Ireland's politicians could get rid of most of the undesirables if they wanted to!
    18
  2710. This is why Ukraine should be given missiles that can hit the sites that these attacks are originating from!
    18
  2711. So alarm companies, when you fit them also bring round a golliwog for your new clients. Tell them that instead of phoning the police after a robbery they will get a much quicker and bigger response by displaying it in the window.
    18
  2712. At 64 I make very little use of the hospitality industry, but I appreciate how important it is to younger people. I also appreciate how vital it is for the employment of many of the poorest in our society. It makes me incredibly angry when the cowardly snowflakes bang on about being cautious, because this "caution" comes at terrible cost to so many. There is no evidence to contradict the South African doctors' assessment of Omicron as being EXTREMELY MILD. Already, this mindless panic has sent many business and jobs to the wall.
    18
  2713. The RNLI has lost a massive amount of respect and donations!
    18
  2714. Expecting Putin to keep a deal is like expecting Hitler to get circumcised and have a bahmitza.
    18
  2715. Sick, as sick can be!
    18
  2716. The only bit I found distressing was that 3 of the 7 pigs escaped.
    18
  2717. If ever there was a case of adding insult to injury this is it. This is like of having to pay the firing squad for the bullets they are going to shoot you with. When somebody has been wrongfully imprisoned they have suffered a terrible wrong. No honest, decent government would expect them to pay anything toward something they would never have chosen for themselves.
    18
  2718. All those Russians had to do was throw down their arms and put their hands in the air, to live. But instead they choose to die for a despot who doesn't value Russian lives in the least.
    18
  2719. Don't suspend, expel!
    18
  2720. This is like turkeys getting brought back to life and immediately going out and voting for Christmas again!
    18
  2721. Go ahead. Russia has plenty of active gas pipelines bringing in lots of revenue, and they are much easier to get at than our undersea ones!
    18
  2722. One really does wonder how easily professorships are handed out these days. Or maybe we now have professorships in scaremongering. For the majority of the population who aren't strong in science and statistics, I will now explain how things really stand. When we see a something like 4 heads being thrown in succession while we might wonder if the coin was biased we have to acknowledge that there is a 1 in 16 chance of this happening. Typically we test at the 5% significance level. As 1/16 is more than 5% we would not take 4 heads as evidence of a biased coin. When we apply similar tests and reasoning to the Indian variant (or indeed any variant), in regard to transmissibility or deadliness, we likewise find that there is not enough evidence to support these claims. Scientists who claim otherwise are presenting very weak conjecture as fact. This is totally un professional, very dishonest, any isn't proper science. It's just groundless scaremongering.
    18
  2723. Donny doesn't want to upset his good buddy Vlad.
    18
  2724. Unless there is a very compelling reason no one should be allowed a postal or proxy vote. This would give an awful lot of wives, daughters and sisters the opportunity to vote for who THEY really wanted.
    18
  2725. Sooner or later people are going to get feed up with Sunak doing nothing, and take matters into their own hands. Then things will get VERY UGLY!
    18
  2726. If I was a stroppy pupil right now I'd be identifying as God. Once the half-wit teacher had sided with be I'd demand that he got down on his knees and prayed to me.
    18
  2727. It's way past time to accept that covid-19 is here to stay, and that new variants will always keep turning up. So it's time to ditch all travel restrictions. In fact it's time to ditch restrictions completely. Those who are uncomfortable with this can crawl under a stone for the rest of their life.
    18
  2728. So many of us said exactly what Bev was saying. 99.8% survival rate is certainly in the ballpark for the well quoted IFR of about 0.3% which I often mentioned. This was far more PANICdemic than pandemic. On this basis alone medical ethics is very clear. The vast majority of people should never have been vaccinated. And that's even before taking into account the excellent natural immunity after infection (which most mainstream media lied about or suppressed information on), and the fact that vaccines had not undergone the normal 3 to 4 years phase 3 safety trials.
    18
  2729. Lots more hiding in Qatar.
    18
  2730. I'm more likely to start believing in Santa Claus than in Trump doing anything to upset his lord and master Putin.
    18
  2731. I'm certainly no Labour fan, but I couldn't have put it better. Years ago even Tony Blair suggested using remote, bleak Scottish island to house illegals. Not only would this be vastly cheaper, and not open to court challenges, it would also be a serious deterrent.
    18
  2732. 24 / 5,000 J'adore les feux d'artifice russes.
    18
  2733. Well lots of people who aren't in their right minds end up having kids.
    18
  2734. For vaccines which we don't, and can't, know whether there are any adverse long term effects, ONLY the vulnerable should be vaccinated! Most people shrug off covid-19 more easily than a bad cold, and then have excellent long term natural immunity.
    18
  2735. Why are we ignoring two very well established facts? 1. Young people are at negligible risk from covid-19. 2. Natural immunity is far better and longer lasting. If this government was "listening to the science" they would not be trying to force vaccination on these groups.
    18
  2736. The only mistake here is Trump trusting Putin and believing anything that he says.
    18
  2737. What tens of thousands of young white girls have suffered, because the woke and PC didn't want to offend certain groups, is criminal. Those responsible for helping the perpetrators avoid justice should themselves be punished just as severely as the abusers should be.
    18
  2738. Of the utmost urgency is the need to get Ukraine the weapons it needs to take out those ships that are targeting Odesa. As Moldova now knows that it's next on Putin's shopping list this might be a quick route to get them where they are needed, fast.
    18
  2739. Arlene, a medieval torturer could easily explain this strategy to you. After a while the victim becomes a bit used to the pain and suffering, so further torture is more effective if you let them recover a bit. This is why things have opened up. Let people get a taste of normality again, so that they will feel its loss a lot more when you snatch it away once more.
    18
  2740. Let's think about this for a second. US forces were operating in Somalia because the government of that country invited them in. By the same logic there is absolutely no reason why NATO forces shouldn't be eradicating the Orcs in Ukraine. God knows there would be no shortage of American, British and Polish soldiers eager and willing to hunt down Orcs.
    18
  2741. Listen carefully! The statement on the impact on the world economy was in regard to hitting Iran's oil facilities, NOT on obliterating the nuclear threat. Also, most civilized countries don't buy oil from Iran.
    18
  2742. Unless you want expert advice on bottom groping, questioning Matt Hancock serves no useful purpose.
    18
  2743. I have taught A-level maths, further maths, physics, and chemistry for many years. I can tell you unequivocally that in all these subjects there are some topics that are vastly harder than others. What is, without the slightest doubt, now going to happen is that the vast majority of teachers are going to avoid teaching and accessing these topics. And who can blame them? They know that this is going to happen in other schools, and don't want to disadvantage their students. So once again we are going to see massive grade inflation, and another year of totally discredited results. Of course, there will be a few teachers who try to make their assessments as close to A-levels as possible. Sadly, their students will be at a massive disadvantage to the majority. The ONLY fair system is external exams. We are only in February, so there is more than enough time to allow these to be arranged. But, when did this government ever care about young people, or doing what's right and fair?
    18
  2744. This was just for show. The French could have easily done the same to hundreds of other boats. But they want these people even less than we do, so why prevent them from leaving.
    18
  2745.  @bluemax92  Says a far left snowflake.
    18
  2746. I hope the Ukraine military is taking full advantage of any vulnerability caused by this regrouping. Incidentally, there has never been a better time for an armed insurrection, in Belarus, against that dictator Alexander Kukashenko, as Russia is in no position to come to his aid at the moment. This opportunity shouldn't be wasted.
    18
  2747. Too late for most!
    18
  2748. I love it when the tanks are moving, because then you know that there are some Orcs in the oven.
    18
  2749. Fossil fuels are not just for burning. They are the backbone of our chemical industry, and countless products that people take for granted, and don't realise come from oil.
    18
  2750. Am I the only one who thinks that Virginia Guiffre looks rather happy in that infamous picture. I'm not trying to get Randy Andy off the hook, but this seems a little like going out, drinking too much, getting a splitting hangover, and then wanting to sue the barman for serving you.
    18
  2751. How many times do the quivering jellies need to be told. Putin is in no position to escalate. He has got more than he can handle with Ukraine.
    18
  2752. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Pitching tents in this place is illegal, but the police do nothing to remove them or arrest the offenders.
    18
  2753. If you look dispassionately at it there's nothing wrong with a good burger: 100% beef, tomato, lettuce, all in some bread. It's people with no self control, who eat too often and too much that have given them a bad name.
    18
  2754. Not as funny as watching the Putin rent boys get upset about it.
    18
  2755. I wouldn't even give Erdogan a paper jet!
    18
  2756. Here's a good idea. Get a really tough inner bag, to place inside an outer bag, and make it a tempting target. In the bag have several pieces of tangled razor wire: maybe even coated with something really nasty.
    18
  2757. Moldova has had nearly 3 years to plan for this!
    18
  2758. You should have seen him cry when he first heard about the bridge.
    18
  2759. Maybe more young people are coming to their senses, and realising that both the Tories and Labour are selling their future down the river.
    18
  2760. A bit distressing to see some of the Orcs not getting roasted.
    18
  2761. It would be heartbreaking if we had Orcs launching suicidal attacks and didn't have enough bullets to put in them.
    18
  2762. This pushing back NEEDS to be continued throughout the winter, without the disastrous pause that happened last winter, and allowed Russia to set up a mind-boggling amount of defences, that caused Ukraine incredible difficulty earlier this year.
    18
  2763. With waiting times so bad, doctors shouldn't be giving out jabs at all. Having them do something you could train a monkey to do is a criminal waste of resources that are desperately needed elsewhere.
    18
  2764. Most nations use international schools that take kids from all countries, and teach in English. This is really good for the kids. But I guess the last thing Putin wants is Russian kids mixing with those from democratic countries, and being taught by people like me. Especially people like me, because for most Russian kids I was probably one of their favourite teachers.
    18
  2765. He would probably have gotten off if the treats had been against a Tory or Reform UK MP.
    18
  2766. A drop in the ocean compared to how often this is ALLOWED to go unpunished.
    18
  2767. Hopefully the Ukrainians will soon be giving the Russians a very warm welcome with these new rockets.
    18
  2768. Except for a few spoilt brats, with very rich daddies, nobody will pay even £10 a pint, let alone £20.
    18
  2769. Doctors in South Africa, with the most experience of dealing with this variant, have described the symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. Perhaps it should be renamed the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    18
  2770. So Stramer would like us to now endure tears of far worse failure under him.
    18
  2771. It really does seem to me that nothing in Iran has changed. The clerics and their Revolutionary Guard goons still seem to have as much power and control as ever. All that the months of protest seem to have achieved is that 500 or so protestors have been murdered, and many thousands more are now in prisons and being tortured. But, as myself and others have said, dictators don't simply give up power because you ask them to. Often the only way to win ones freedom is to fight for it.
    18
  2772. The government probably breathed a sigh of relief when the ECHR stopped them sending less than a handful of people on that large plane. They would have suffered serious ridicule. If they are going to do this it needs to be done properly: full jumbos! Better still transport even more in cargo holds. Once they are out of the UK it doesn't matter if it takes them a week to reach their destination. Now that would deter the Dingy Boys.
    18
  2773. You can just imagine Trump as a teacher, scolding the little kid who has been beaten up, and telling him to hand over the rest of his dinner money to the school bully. Trump's "peace deal" flies in the face of international law.
    18
  2774. Well, gullible, naive voters, with no proper experience of life are far more likely to vote for Labour than any other party. If anything the voting age needs to be raised rather than lowered. Personally I'd like to see those who have never or very rarely paid any tax barred from voting. If you haven't contributed anything to society then you don't deserve a say in how it is run!
    18
  2775. Now watch these Dr. Mengele's go after your children!
    18
  2776. No surprises then.
    18
  2777. Merry Christmas, Orcs. Enjoy the festive fireworks.
    18
  2778. While it has never affected me, I've always regarded inheritance tax as a totally immoral tax, supported only by the jealous and envious.
    18
  2779. Most of the countries receiving the grain have either refused to condemn Putin, or actively support him. So we shouldn't be too concerned about this. The phrase "poetic justice" springs to mind.
    18
  2780. No! What we need is lots of "catch Omicron" New Year's parties. This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant. So spreading it around, as much and as fast as possible, offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY achieving herd immunity, and bringing this pandemic to an end.
    18
  2781. "massive herd immunity really quickly" It's so refreshing to see an honest presentation, rather than the government backed scaremongering. if I were a God fearing man I'd be inclined to think of this variant as his Christmas present to the world.
    18
  2782. Many of us in the UK would dearly love to see our ultra greedy energy producers nationalised!
    18
  2783. So, roast Orc for Easter dinner.🤣
    18
  2784. I'm not a Trump fan, but he is bang on the money on this!
    18
  2785. About 30 years ago University of Leeds made all of their PGCE students do a week's work experience, even though many of us had done real jobs for many years. I ended up with Yorkshire Electricity. They had a whole room full of abused meters, taken from none too bright low lives, who thought they had found a clever way to fiddle the bill.
    18
  2786. Russia calling other nations criminal. And they say Russians don't have a sense of humour.
    18
  2787. Ukraine's momentum is preventing the Orcs set up defences, so that their only option is to retreat. Therefore it is vital that Ukraine is given whatever aid it needs to keep up or even increase its momentum.
    18
  2788. Careful, cougars have sharp claws!
    18
  2789. Unfortunately Labour won't lose those seats for another 4½ years. If the last few months are anything to go by then they can do irreparable damage to this country before they are ousted.
    18
  2790. Let's be very clear on this. Private schools are exempt from VAT because they enjoy charitable status, and rightly so: at least in this country. They are not set up to make a profit, and any spare funds are used to fund scholarships, improve facilities, or provide a cushion for a rainy day. The concept of schools as charities goes back about 500 years! TTK's problem is that most state schools are abysmal, and the private sector shines a very bright light on this uncomfortable truth.
    18
  2791. "Everyone does it" is never an excuse. Adverts should not be misleading, and those who produce such adverts should be prosecuted. Being dishonest, and cheating people, is not something to be proud of, and shouldn't be acceptable.
    18
  2792. This teacher didn't do anything illegal. Those threatening him are most certainly committing a crime. Rather than him being in hiding they should be imprisoned and then deported.
    17
  2793. Parkinson's Putin promised everyone a spectacular victory parade on 9th May. That parade is looking to be more like a funeral procession, with each passing day. This is a severe and very public humiliation, which makes it significantly more likely that he will be "removed" from power. Hence the desperation.
    17
  2794. Every bloody time it seems to be someone that's adding to our diversity!
    17
  2795. In a great many businesses it's actually written into your contract that you can't have a second job, because it's considered a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
    17
  2796. If there were far more attacks on Russian pipelines, refineries, and other infrastructure then Ukrainian drones could easily cost Russia a couple of orders of magnitude more.
    17
  2797. So true. Going back over 45 years ago to my university days I can well remember the thick rich kids, doing humanity subjects of course, who sought to justify their pathetic existence by supporting the Palestinians. Well, that's when they weren't getting there knickers in a twist over South Africa.
    17
  2798. Unless there is an absolutely compelling reason all legislation should have to go through parliament. This is the only thing that stands between democracy and a dictatorship. And, looking at the way parliament has rubber stamped a lot of corona virus related legislation, even this safeguard doesn't inspire too much confidence. One thing is certain at the present time. Sars-cov-2 is now fairly well understood, and events are not occurring so rapidly as to make shortcutting the parliamentary process even remotely acceptable.
    17
  2799. If we are looking at autoimmune diseases, caused by injecting people with mRNA, then in some cases it could indeed take a decade or two for symptoms to manifest. So an awful lot of people might have a timebomb ticking away inside them.
    17
  2800. Let's be honest. She was on the throne for so long that saying Queen instead of King is something an awful lot still do reflexively. I wish I had a pound for everyone of our lawyers who has said QC instead of KC.
    17
  2801. Another pathetic sentence. All he will do is go and cause the same trouble elsewhere.
    17
  2802. Naughty Boris. You know how easily France's garçon de maman gets offended. Did you forget to put "Mr. President" at the top of the letter?
    17
  2803. Has King Charles ever had a DNA test done so that he can be sure that Harry is even his son?
    17
  2804. I truly detest almost all drag. The only place I feel it is appropriate is in the Rocky Horror Show, or for a big tough rugby team out on a pub crawl for charity.
    17
  2805. Call me a far-right fascist, but I think we have a right to expect that women and young girls can walk our streets in safety.
    17
  2806. So true. If crowd funding of a bounty on Putin was allowed I'd contribute generously.
    17
  2807. Years ago a friend of mine who was just trying to enjoy herself at an ice rink got her nose broken by some boy around the age of this one. All he received for this was a paltry fine. When justice is inconsistent like this it isn't justice!
    17
  2808. How many of us warned that there would be a tsunami of illegal immigrants if Labour was elected? I'm just waiting for TTK to roll out the red carpet, with a brass band, at Dover.
    17
  2809. Expecting Russia to tell the truth is like expecting the Sun to rise in the West and set in the East.
    17
  2810. Why do people still listen to a word this creature says? He would put his on mother onto the streets to turn tricks if there was any benefit in it for him.
    17
  2811. They would be investigating a lot harder if it had been a hate preacher who was stabbed!
    17
  2812. Why are Brits such incredible schmucks? Boris is conning you (no surprises there). The government doesn't want anyone to have a foreign holiday. So between a traffic light system that can change in the middle of a holiday, plus the expense of PCR tests, it is doing all it can to make foreign holidays impossible for most.
    17
  2813. Even if demands change, an absolute minimum should be the Orcs leaving all of Ukraine, which includes Crimea.
    17
  2814. Neither the Tories or Labour will do anything to stop the boats. If you want them stopped then vote Reform UK. It's that simple.
    17
  2815. That's very sad, but unfortunately we will probably now see councils butchering lots of healthy trees.
    17
  2816. It's a serious mistake to pay any attention to anything Putin or Lavrov say.
    17
  2817. Now those unfortunate enough to be paying council tax in Dartford know why it keeps going up!
    17
  2818. Yep. It's a pity we can't hear them squeal.
    17
  2819. Yes, pray that they make good fertilizer.
    17
  2820. Now that's what I call some real de-Nazification!
    17
  2821. Fat chance, with tat TV advert showing a soldier on exercises getting out his prayer mat.
    17
  2822. I seem to recall Germany instituting similar "health measures" in the 1930s. Maybe that nice camp in Southern Poland could be reopened to house all the dirty unvaccinated.
    17
  2823. And Putin rent boys.
    17
  2824. Tackle BENEFIT FRAUD! With 9.4 million of working age not working that will bring in vastly more money.
    17
  2825. Together with the hammering that Russian forces are taking in Ukraine, Finland's and Sweden's decision to join NATO really emphasizes what a complete and utter screw up Putin has made. For a campaign that he promised would only last a few days, with minimal losses, he has killed many more Russians than in the entire Soviet Afghanistan war. He has also caused two countries that previous had no intention of doing so to seek NATO membership. This might just be the catalyst that prompts the "removal" from power of Putin and his so-called "strong men".
    17
  2826. Why is it mad? No sane person is now going to vote for Sunak. Once you hit rock bottom you can't go any lower.
    17
  2827. Am I the only one STILL waiting to hear that this so-called comedian has been arrested and charged with a hate crime? This would have happened instantly if he had waved an Israeli flag and abused a Muslim in his audience!
    17
  2828. This requires Zelensky to take the gloves off. Does he really not realise that using those long-range missiles without US permission isn't going to make the slightest difference to what Trump does?
    17
  2829. Wow, that's really put a smile on my face. I hope there were plenty of Orcs in the vicinity.
    17
  2830. The same kind of things REALLY NEED to start happening in Moscow! Ukraine may not have the long range rockets, but they should think of what the IRA did to the NATWest Tower, or the Jihadi tube bombings. There are probably plenty of Russian speaking Ukrainians who could move around unnoticed in Moscow.
    17
  2831. Once Putin feels comfortable in the Donbas it's 100% guaranteed that he will try to take ALL of Ukraine's coastline, cutting it off from the sea. There's absolutely no doubt about this.
    17
  2832. Yesterday on TV I watched frightened selfish people who wanted to keep restrictions on OTHERS because they were at risk. These people make me so incredibly angry. They represent well under 1% of the population, but they expect the whole world to revolve around them, and everybody else's life to be ruined just for them. Instead of them expecting millions of others to make sacrifices for them, did it ever occur to them that THEY are the ones that need to make the sacrifices?
    17
  2833. If the incoming US government is so concerned about her then Trump can give her a green card.
    17
  2834. The protestors are not using those heavy poles properly. Let momentum and impulse do the work. Bring them straight down vertically, as quickly as possible, on the top of the shields. The force generated should be enough to cause injury to the hands and arms of those holding them.
    17
  2835.  @dnmurphy48  Letting someone steal 20% of your country is more insane!
    17
  2836. A great many politicians strongly encouraged and coerced people into getting something most didn't need. They don't want to take the chance of what research into these excess deaths is likely to conclude.
    17
  2837. What a truly wonderful performance by Ukrainian forces. Hopefully they can keep up the momentum. I've got a bottle of champagne that will probably go in the fridge when the Kerch Bridge is destroyed and the liberation of Crimea begins.
    17
  2838. Notice how unlike the Russian MoD videos that show you take offs and landings and shells exploding in fields or woods, that with Ukraine you actually see that there really was a target.
    17
  2839. So good to see people enjoying themselves, without masks and (un)social distancing, rather than acting like quivering snowflakes. You only have one life, so don't waste it worrying about dying from covid.
    17
  2840. I've lost count of the number of times I said this wouldn't be happening if there were revenge attacks on Moscow. Look at what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower with far less resources.
    17
  2841. This is why it's so important that countries have the death penalty for rabid animals like the one who shot this little girl. If the government and police don't have the stomach for it then there are millions like me prepared to dispatch such vermin, even at some cost in time and money to ourselves.
    17
  2842.  @captainbuggernut9565  Not a teacher who couldn't get any other job, are you, by any chance?
    17
  2843. Rule 1: don't believe anything Putin says. Rule 2: don't believe anything Putin says. Rule 3: don't believe anything Putin says.
    17
  2844. If the government let the pro-Hamas protests go ahead on Remembrance day I expect some very hard men WILL take action against these anti-Semites!
    17
  2845. And "all Ukrainian territory" includes Crimea.
    17
  2846. Look how many protestors there were. They could have easily overwhelmed the police and prevented detentions. If you are going to protest, no matter where, then you should show solidarity with your fellow protestors.
    17
  2847. We know that vaccine induced immunity wanes. BUT, while the antibody levels may drop, natural immunity appears to remain very good. This has been confirmed beyond all doubt by the Israeli study. This study also found that there was no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating those who already have natural immunity. Please stop saying "we have to follow government policy". I absolutely don't give a damn what government policy is, I'm following the science: unlike government.
    17
  2848. If Ukraine had the means to do this then why wouldn't it have used those resources on a much more worthy target? This was an unused pipeline, so it would have been better to have gone after one being fully utilised. Alternatively, taking out the seafloor foundations of the Kerch bridge would have also made a much more worthwhile target. This sounds just like the same kind of nonsense Russia was previously spouting about Ukraine developing biological weapons.
    17
  2849. When I hear things like Royal Commentator, Royal Biographer, or Royal Historian, I think this is a really sad person who desperately needs to get a life.
    17
  2850. Like me, anyone who has every worked for the Home Office will not be in the least surprised by this incredible incompetence.
    17
  2851. Just like in the UK, the taxpayers money was being given to causes that most would never countenance. Two examples given to the press were the production of LGBT comics and plays!
    17
  2852. Unfortunately, while the Tories don't have the guts to tackle illegal immigrants, Labour would welcome them with open arms!
    17
  2853. While most of us will be happy to see the back of Sunak and his cronies, we are looking forward to a Labour government as much as we would to a root canal without anesthetic!
    17
  2854. The fact that two UK cases were found hours before the tightening of restrictions proves two things: 1. This has been deliberately stage managed. 2. To be able to find two cases so quickly means that there are already vastly more cases of this variant in the UK. It hasn't been noticed up to now for one very simple reason. It's no worse than thousands of other variants. The government has been gagging to reintroduce masks. And they would really like to have a Christmas lockdown. This variant is an incredibly feeble and transparent excuse, that only the quivering snowflakes will swallow. It's becoming very clear that if people are to have any hope of ever seeing their freedom again they are going to have to make a stand and not comply with restrictions.
    17
  2855. Well, as the new conscripts often don't have guns or ammo I guess they can push the tanks that run out of gas.
    17
  2856. Having an HONEST MP like Desmond Swayne as PM would do the job, but we will probably get another self-serving wide boy.
    17
  2857. Like everything in "cheap as chips" Britain I wouldn't be in the least surprised if maintenance was skimped on.
    17
  2858. Isn't it funny how mainstream media never find people like me, who would tell them that this this variant is EXTREMELY MILD, and to man up! Or do such interviews just get edited out?😉 Goebbels would have loved to have a press like most of the UK media.
    17
  2859. From Britain with love Mr. Putrid.
    17
  2860. Meanwhile, 100s of 1000s are celebrating in private.
    17
  2861. The jury should also be put on trial for perverting the course of justice!
    17
  2862. If you don't stand up to a bully then the bullying always gets a lot worse!
    17
  2863. You got his name wrong. It's Hamas Yousaf.
    17
  2864. I had to do a search on Sky News Australia to see this story. Woke, left-wing YouTube is no longer automatically showing UK viewers stories on this channel!
    17
  2865. They may only be moving forward at a snail's pace, but this is the only place the Orcs are moving forward. It's therefore the only thing that Vladolf can try to sell to Russians as a success.
    17
  2866. I wonder if Putin realises how much his one lonely tank is making everybody laugh at him and Russia. What's it going to me next year: a WW I tank or a medieval siege catapult?
    17
  2867. If most UK voters weren't cowards they would indeed give someone other than BOTH Labour and Conservative a turn.
    17
  2868.  Grant Birżebbuġa Sfax  22,000 Polish officers murdered in cold blood!
    17
  2869. Doesn't this Prof know that the Xanadu variant is waiting in the wings to strike, if restrictions are lifted on June 21. It will then kill us all and drag our sorry arse souls down to the 7th circle of hell.
    17
  2870. As would most people. But YouTube will probably soon remove your post and my response.
    17
  2871. This sad excuse for a man sees himself as a Churchill. The truth is he's even worse than a Chamberlain, crawling back from Munich. By his own admission the vaccination program has been spectacularly successful beyond all expectations. Yet all his dates are qualified by "at least". If he were genuinely listening to the data then there would be the possibility of bringing them all forward when things continue to turn out far better than expected. Then we have the "new variant" caveat. Well there will always be plenty of them. This provides an excuse for reneging on the dates at the drop of a hat. And his toady Handcock has thrown in the "dependent on following the rules". Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that Downing Street has the slightest intention of giving up dictatorial powers? If the British people want their freedom back they are going to have to take to the streets, poll tax style, and fight bloody hard for them. Also, what happened to that vote parliament was promised around the middle of this month?
    17
  2872. If Russian regions had any sense they would secede from the Russian Federation, rather than sending their young men off to die. There's no way that Moscow could prevent them doing so at the moment.
    17
  2873. During WW II Britain defended its borders against the might of the Luftwaffe and German navy. So nobody is going to convince me that we can't defend our borders against people in rubber boats. It's definitely not can't but rather a RESOLUTE WON'T!
    17
  2874. A little public mourning, but a lot of private jubilation!
    17
  2875. This is like telling a little kid who has been beaten up that it's his fault for not immediately handing over his dinner money to the bully.
    17
  2876. We need to take a long hard look about how much unity we really have. For instance, Germany is good at talking but (intentionally) very bad on delivery. Whatever it says it has no intention of doing anything that would cause Russia to turn off the gas it is gorging itself on. And while Germany is doing this we can hardly expect countries like India to turn their nose up at cheap Russian oil.
    17
  2877. That was a very sad video, as only one of the Orcs appears to have bought the farm.
    17
  2878. Poutine espère toujours que Trump viendra le sauver. Il est donc extrêmement important que l’Ukraine inflige autant de dommages que possible à la Russie avant que Trump ne devienne président.
    17
  2879. Looking at that river it's very hard to believe that somebody is likely to have fallen in, and even more difficult to believe that they wouldn't have been able to get out again. Yet this is what the police would like us to believe is most likely.
    17
  2880. The crazy thing is that if Putin and a few of his so-called "strong men" were "removed" then all this could stop almost at once. Surely this represents a massive opportunity for any ambitious general who has the balls to do what clearly needs to be done.
    17
  2881.  @masondegaulle5731  Or make us die laughing with desperate threats.
    17
  2882. Everybody do a Wayne's World "we are not worthy". Thank you so much Boris for returning a few of our basic human rights to us. And if we are really good you might be ultra generous and give us back a few more in five weeks time. It's so good to have such a wise and selfless government.
    17
  2883. I have to admit to sometimes watching Doctor Who out a a morbid fascination to see just how bad it now is. Not only is the Doctor now black and homosexual, but the storylines become ever more farcical, even when one thinks that they can't get any worse. I suspect that even most kids would be acutely embarrassed to claim authorship of these stories.
    17
  2884. Only the BBC could use the word "welcome" for a rabid dog who has been called a butcher and executioner by others!
    17
  2885. As other comments suggest, John Lewis has lost a lot of business over that obscene and disgusting advert. A great many people found it highly offensive. If they have any sense they will sack whoever approved it.
    17
  2886. 'launch rockets at Israel from humanitarian zone' Does anyone really expect Hamas to launch rockets from anywhere other than an area packed with civilians?
    17
  2887. But this is a win/win/win for TTK: 1. He saves the cost of the fuel allowance. 2. He saves the cost of pensions on those he kills off. 3. Those he kills off are no longer a burden on the NHS. And he can spend all that extra money keeping illegals well fed and warm.
    17
  2888. We also need to SEVERELY punish police officers who were responsible for a blind eye being turned to the abuse and rape of young girls in Rochdale, and similar incidents!
    17
  2889. Return those who wash up on our shore to where they came from, France. If the French won't allow them to be landed then put them back in their boats as close to the French coast as possible, BUT so far south that their only option is to head for France.
    17
  2890. The Ukraine national dish is now Roast Orc.
    17
  2891. To render Crimea of no military value Putin's favourite bridge there still needs to be taken out. As for removing Russian forces, winter is coming. As long as their supply lines are cut off Father Frost will do the rest. Late February and early March hurt Russian forces badly, so imagine what January is going to do to them.
    17
  2892. Invading an island nation is a lot harder than rolling your tanks and orcs across a land boarder. Taiwan has a very strong military. So invading Taiwan might be an excellent way of balancing out the gender imbalance in mainland China. Chinese loses will make the number of Orcs killed in Ukraine look like a pinprick.
    17
  2893. This Labour Party reminds me of Communist Party officials in the former Soviet Union. While large families couldn't swing a cat in the tiny apartments they were forced to live in, party members were enjoying their spacious dachas on the Black Sea.
    17
  2894. Didn't Hitler also claim to be fighting a "sacred war"?
    17
  2895. That's exactly how most decent people feel. And we would like to put judges who punish defending ones home on a stretcher as well!
    17
  2896. For Greenlanders, having JD Vance visit is like having a really large dog lay a massive cable on your manicured lawn.
    17
  2897. You know I would really love to live in Hawaii, or maybe Salt Lake City, with all that wonderful hiking and skiing on my doorstep. However, despite being able to support myself, and be no burden whatsoever I'm not allowed to. My point is that lots of us have places we would really like to live, but we can't just go there.
    17
  2898. For Covid it was known that the IFR was just 0.3% or less. It was also know that those at high risk were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. Do most people think that this was sufficient grounds for lockdowns?
    17
  2899. No need for a Trump effect. All people have to do is take an unbiased look at just how bad both the Tories and Labour are. The tragedy is that most couldn't see this before our General Election.
    17
  2900. My father was a very good landlord, who charged very moderate rents, when he could easily have got a lot more, because he was a Pole who had been thorough hell in the war and didn't want to rip off people less fortunate. Despite this he got a really bad tenant who obtained the room by deception. This was about 50 years ago, and even then it was incredibly difficult to evict the tenant, and you should have seen the vast amount of deliberate damage she left behind: things like "Polish Pig" painted large across a wall. This is why "no-fault" evictions are needed. Most of the time it isn't actually no fault, just a landlord that can't afford the time and money of taking a really bad tenant to court.
    17
  2901. They are also in the wrong century, by at least 500 years.
    17
  2902. They can do so on the other 364 days of the year.
    17
  2903. It's reported that Labour MPs cheered when this motion was carried. Putting aside the necessity of such cuts, what kind of sick people cheer something that's going to cause suffering and hardship to so many?
    17
  2904. About 30 years ago I can remember reading horror stories from the US about software developers being forced to train cheap workers from abroad, and then being sacked. It's there in black and white that visas are only meant to be issued when Americans can't be found to do the job. That doesn't mean when Americans can't be found to do the job for peanuts, and work under intolerable conditions. But the US government turns a blind eye to this visa abuse. EXACTLY the same thing goes on in the UK. Companies need to be made to cut their profits, or up their prices, and employ Brits who can do the job.
    17
  2905. Unfortunately, for many companies it's artificial stupidity, rather than intelligence. I recently had the pleasure of Virgin Media's chat bot. Despite typing in "landline" it refused to engage about anything other than mobile phones. I'm so happy that in a few weeks I'll be finished with Virgin Media. I only wish I'd finished with them years ago.
    17
  2906. Reviewing Plan B at the end of this month is going to be FAR TOO LATE for many businesses that depend on the foot fall of people going into work. And for what? A variant that most people don't even notice they have, and that leaves the rest feeling no worse than it they had a MILD cold. What gives Downing Street the right to wantonly destroy the businesses that people have often slaved many years to build up?
    17
  2907. This is probably because Russia can't afford to pay for it.
    17
  2908. All decent people in NATO look forward to welcoming our Scandinavian friends into a family of nations that values freedom and democracy.
    17
  2909. Caring, loving, parents send their girls to these schools because they want them to be safe with other girls, not exposed to perverts.
    17
  2910. NATO should consider that Russia is struggling in just Ukraine. So it's ability to open up further fronts engaging with NATO is very hypothetical indeed. If NATO imposed a no-fly zone in Ukraine, or even put boots on the ground, I doubt Putin is in any position to do anything about it.
    16
  2911. Same old vodka fuel rants.
    16
  2912. One strongly suspects that Trump already made that deal during his 90 minute telephone call with Putin!
    16
  2913. Maybe it's time for Charles to do a service to the country, by publicly closing his account with Coutts?
    16
  2914. Exactly. They set sail from France, and should be returned to France.
    16
  2915. Trump might want to think about what Putin is giving Rocket man in exchange.
    16
  2916. I don't know what amazes me more: that Blair thinks he has anything worth saying, or that anyone is prepared to listen to him. Why any foreign head of state would waste their time, or that of their officials, giving him an audience is beyond me.
    16
  2917. The detection of a few snippets of DNA could be the remnants of a few viral particles that the immune system had already destroyed, and the level of polymerase chain reaction carried out was absurdly high. So a high level of false positive diagnosis's of Covid was very likely. In the same way the number of reported Covid deaths was at least 5 times too high. BUT, scaring the crap out of people was the name of the game: and it worked.
    16
  2918. It seems much more reasonable to return them to the country they set sail from!
    16
  2919. Only the most intensely stupid truly believe that the only thing most people get out of the office is their pay check. Most people make some friends from the people they meet at work, and a fair number even meet their future spouse. For younger people there is often a massive mentoring advantage from rubbing shoulders with old bastards like me.
    16
  2920. Far more impressive would have been if they had managed to paint it on the embassy's wall, or if someone had managed to paint a big one on the Kremlin.
    16
  2921. If the amount spent on housing people (who have illegally entered this country) in plush hotels was cut by one third this would cover the cost of giving every single pensioner the winter fuel allowance!
    16
  2922. “endemic equilibrium”. Cut the crap and just come out and say it in plain English. As the real experts said from the start, we are seeing highly effective and long lasting NATURAL IMMUNITY kicking in, but people don't want to admit that this was always the right way to go.
    16
  2923. This is LONG OVERDUE.
    16
  2924. These federal judges are as bent as a boomerang, and simply did what their paymasters ordered them to. They probably broke open a few six packs while they were "deliberating".
    16
  2925. It's way passed time to get over trying to impress Trump.
    16
  2926. When the Ukrainian offensive kicks off (soon) I hope they have plenty of leopard tanks and those Polish MiGs. The last Ukrainian offensive was impressive, so lets hope with the new weapons that the coming one eclipses it.
    16
  2927. This is great news, but to keep what's been taken back, and continue expelling the Orcs it would be massively beneficial if Russian supply lines could be severely damaged. One particularly obvious one, which also has massive propaganda value, is the Kerch Bridge. The destruction of this might just prove to be a game changer.
    16
  2928. Neither inspire any confidence whatsoever, but at least Truss hasn't cheated millions of really poor pensioners out of the rightful and very badly needed pension rise.
    16
  2929. The thinking of myself, and many others is that this EXTREMELY MILD variant (I'm calling it the Fluffy Kitten variant) has the very real potential to quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people. This is the real reason most governments are so afraid of it. It could seriously embarrass them and loosen their power over people.
    16
  2930. Sadly no Orcs appear to have been killed.
    16
  2931. Because Muslims are exempt from our laws, so they didn't do anything wrong.
    16
  2932. As these tankers aren't sailing under a Russian flag, Russia can't claim an act of war if some "accidentally" get sunk.
    16
  2933. Short of actually making a direct attack on the Wagner group I doubt that Putin can currently get at Prigozhin.
    16
  2934. No. Macron seeking to have Macron at the forefront.
    16
  2935. So let me get this right. After many years of research the US military, with its vast resources, failed to develop such a missile, and yet Monkey Boy has succeeded.
    16
  2936. There's very real concern that mRNA vaccines may be causing autoimmune diseases, whose symptoms can sometimes take many years to manifest. So those people need to pack in as many holidays as they can while they are still able to!
    16
  2937. The ONLY reason Starmer has done this is because of the immense pressure on him, and frankly it doesn't go far enough. This anti-Semitic MP should be kicked out of the Labour Party!
    16
  2938.  @hymns4ever197  It was well established at the Nuremberg trials that "I was just following orders" is never an acceptable excuse.
    16
  2939. Says a total Putin rent boy.
    16
  2940. Boris never listened to the real experts right from the start, and he is still NOT "listening to the science".
    16
  2941. Dream on Putin rent boy! Putin would already have done this ages ago if he could.
    16
  2942. The more the better! This EXTREMELY MILD variant has the potential to quickly and SAFELY spread NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY and bring this pandemic to an end.
    16
  2943. I bet most of the Russians dearly wish they could remain POWs!
    16
  2944. I sincerely hope that many, many Orcs are now dying.
    16
  2945. It was a special operation to de-Nazify the carrots.
    16
  2946. My understanding of the 55 letters is that if those 100 MPs who voted against Plan B had threatened to submit such letters then they could have force Bogus Boris to withdraw Plan B.
    16
  2947. No, they deserve worse.
    16
  2948. I hope the firm is told where to shove its jobs, and that it goes bust.
    16
  2949. So, after the deaths of hundreds of protestors, and thousands more arrested and tortured, nothing has changed. When you have tyrants like those in Iran peaceful protest NEVER works, they have to be removed by force of arms. The Iranian people need to take inspiration from the Ukrainians and fight properly for their freedom.
    16
  2950. So true. The rabid Russian bear must be declawed, otherwise no neighbouring country is safe from it.
    16
  2951. Great to hear from an Italian who isn't anxious not to humiliate Putin.
    16
  2952. Counter fire is good, but taking out supply lines is better. If these can be seriously damaged then Russia will not be able to sustain what it's doing for too long. Needing 3 times as many soldiers for an offensive does seem to suggest that Russian advances must be bought at a cost of three Orcs for every Ukrainian soldier, which is very encouraging. Over 30,000 Orcs have already been eradicated, if this rate can be kept up then one would hope to see over 100,000 dead Orcs by the end of the year, which would be really good.
    16
  2953. We didn't need Brexit to end cheap foreign labour. All we needed was legislation that sets minimum wages in different sectors that is fair and sensible. Expecting a one-size-fits-all minimum wage is stupid beyond credulity. Make companies pay appropriate wages and they will look to employ locally first.
    16
  2954. No need to. Putin's generals have family and loved ones living in those cities. They would probably "remove" Putin before he took any action that would lead to their annihilation.
    16
  2955. Could someone please name a Labour minister who doesn't lie through his/her teeth?
    16
  2956. Well I played it over and over again, but I really couldn't see if there was anything being hit, or just a shell landing in a field. Oh, silly me. Russian videos are all foreplay and no climax: rather like impotent Putin.
    16
  2957. Wasn't it only yesterday that we were treated to the report about one of Putin's cronies berating Israel for civilian deaths?
    16
  2958. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    16
  2959. Totally agree. People need to see animals like this so that they know they are in danger when they are near.
    16
  2960. Being a rabid psychopath I doubt Putin gives a damn about his daughters, but piling on as many sanctions as possible can only be a good thing. Hopefully, before too long, someone who can do something about it will realise that keeping Putin in power simply isn't worth the pain.
    16
  2961. Come on folks, a much, much shorter list would be of promises that Boris Johnson has kept. This man's name has become synonymous with what we expect in a liar and cheat who is completely bereft of any sense of honour and decency.
    16
  2962. The trouble with such advice is that some idiots will then try to buy all the toilet rolls and flour.
    16
  2963. You know Tim, I was really amused (and a bit angry) to hear some so-called scientists saying we now have exponential growth in infections. You and I both know, by just a quick glance at the data, that we could do a linear regression on the last few weeks of data. We would get a very gentle slope and a correlation close to 1, which would also pass a 95% confidence test for being so. To present this data as exponential growth is outrageous scaremongering. I'm glad you mention the age groups getting infected because, as we all know by now, almost all younger people just shrug off this virus, so it really doesn't matter how many of them are infected. One can look at it as mother nature vaccinating them. Your comparison with road traffic accidents made me smile. Myself, and no doubt others, made exactly this observation a few weeks ago. Perhaps the scaredy cat SAGE scientists would like to recommend a ban on motoring. As for naming these variants, I would suggest names like Tinkerbell and Pinocchio. This gives a much better idea about how much we should be worried by them.
    16
  2964. Far, far more concerning is that Boris wasn't aware that Sweden hadn't imposed lockdowns!
    16
  2965. Because the government is hellbent on vaccinating everybody, regardless of need or risk. Before too long there will be an angel of death with a needle cruising the maternity wards.
    16
  2966. Making the world a better place, Orc by Orc, and tank by tank.
    16
  2967. Aussies voting for Daniel Andrews is a bit like Jews voting for Adolf Hitler.
    16
  2968.  @williamthomson7820  What about the babies that Hamas beheaded?
    16
  2969. The wonderful thing about any Russian election, whether in Ukraine or Russia itself, is that you really don't need to waste any energy going out to vote. Because the Kremlin already "knows" well in advance exactly what the result will be.
    16
  2970. Exactly! And if Hamas genuinely cared about the Palestinian civilians in Gaza they wouldn't hesitate to release those they are holding hostage.
    16
  2971. I hope all the Mexican restaurants do a discount promotion on TACOs to mark the occasion.
    16
  2972. Most of us don't want Boris replaced by another bent cabinet minister, or ex minister (that's Hunt with a C). We would like to see some honest back bencher, like Desmond Swayne, get the job.
    16
  2973. Like benefit bludgers, there are plenty of NATO countries that definitely aren't paying anywhere near their fair share.
    16
  2974. Delighted to see this nice young lady lift the cup.
    16
  2975. Oh, you mean an honest, courageous man who isn't skilled at lying and cheating.
    16
  2976. The best way of discouraging all this is to do unto others as they do unto you!
    16
  2977. The only way Biden is going to beat Trump is if Trump dies laughing.
    16
  2978. This really is like dealing with obstinate and willful children, who have severe learning difficulties. From both the UK and abroad, we see abundant proof that lockdowns and restrictions do no bloody good. All they do is cause immense pain and suffering. Yet, like very disturbed children, some people seem intent on repeating these mistakes again and again. We are getting on for two years of failed strategy. Just how many more years does it have to fail for, and how much more damage has to be done, before these people get it through their thick skulls that covid-19 is here to stay and we have to live with it.
    16
  2979. Well Julia, we all know what a politician's promise is worth, don't we. So this pathetic excuse for a man has children. How proud they must be to know they have a daddy who doesn't keep his promises.
    16
  2980. Why don't you change yours to Putin's Rent Boy?
    16
  2981. Is Pakistan, which unlike Iran has nukes, going to sit back and be humiliated by this upstart?
    16
  2982. Just look in the mirror. If you see a pot-bellied balding chap, like I do, then ask yourself whether that hot babe who looks like Jane Seymour in Live and Let Die is really likely to fall head over heels in love with you? Likewise Leonardo DiCaprio isn't likely to fall for someone who looks like the Game of Thrones Red Woman after she has removed her magic jewel.
    16
  2983. Like so many I've made a similar comment that YouTube has either shadow banned or is removing the likes from.
    16
  2984. I'm in tears and inconsolable at that thought. How much sadder this is than somebody who has worked bloody hard all their life, and is now going to lose their £300,000 home that they have been struggling to pay the mortgage on for many years.
    16
  2985. If they had any sense of self-preservation in Moldova they would have been begging NATO to let them join a couple of months ago.
    16
  2986. Same here. I only did what I was absolutely forced to do, like queuing for my shopping.
    16
  2987. Does anyone want either Harry or Meghan back in this country? Trump has been kind to the UK in this matter.
    16
  2988. Done properly, with no volunteering opt outs, National Service would help a lot. While the army doesn't want them, most fickle and unfit young people could really benefit from the mentoring of a good old-fashioned sergeant major.
    16
  2989. Saying "the state did a lot of harm" is seriously understating things. Lockdowns have sent tens of thousands of formerly sound businesses to the wall, and many are still continuing to fail as a result of them. My business has contracted to about a quarter of what it was, but fortunately for me I've just retired. Equally bad has been the devastating effect on so many young people's education and mental health. Whatever little work ethic they had before lockdowns is no longer there thanks to several years of handing out inflated exam grades for no effort. And God only knows how many years (decades?) it will take the NHS to recover from lockdowns. But the worst part is that the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned against them, and were deliberately ignored. All this insane damage for something that was unnecessary and ineffective. Yet all this so-called inquiry persists in asking is whether we should have had them earlier, rather than whether we should have had them at all.
    16
  2990. Can I have a very large side helping of roast Orc to go with that?
    16
  2991. One day a year over a 4 year period is unbelievably generous. No wonder British fishermen feel that they have been sold down the river.
    16
  2992. The opposition would be in power, for a long time now, if earlier elections were fair.
    16
  2993. "You would think Trump would begin to learn" You need intelligence to learn!
    16
  2994. Don't work Sunak will soon be welcoming them into the UK.
    16
  2995. Would it really be too much trouble to just keep Geronimo away from cows and give him antibiotics to get rid of the infection? Isn't it also very strange how the government puts 100% faith in using a PCR test in regard to covid-19, but won't accept the test for tuberculosis? The science is exactly the same, so you can't have it both ways!
    16
  2996. Too many who are meant to be handling this "working" from home?
    16
  2997. Don't worry Ian, you will soon be part of the Irish Republic and the EU.🤣🤣🤣
    16
  2998. Sometimes one has to make sacrifices to do what's right. What Italy is suffering compared to Ukraine is absolutely nothing! Dropping sanctions would be an act of incredible cowardice and selfishness, for which Italy will never be forgiven. It would also eventually come back to bite Italy as it would be a clear indication that the West cannot maintain its resolve. It's not just Ukraine that's at stake. Putin has a long list of countries that he intends to take. Xi too is watching for the slightest sign of weakness, and if he sees it then he WILL invade Taiwan.
    16
  2999. A PM and ministers who break the rules that they have imposed on others is NEVER irrelevant!
    16
  3000. We have a Chancellor who grossly inflated her CV, with outright lies, and a deputy PM who left school without even a single low grade GCSE. What could possibly go wrong?
    16
  3001. Sums it up nicely.
    16
  3002. And they are usually only brave enough to say it to small women.
    16
  3003. It's a national scandal that water companies are allowed pay dividends to shareholders instead of being MADE to first spend the money on fixing this.
    16
  3004. As usual the Russians would have us believe that a new lick of paint will fix the damage.
    16
  3005. Just give it a few more weeks and they will be telling us that farting and dandruff are down to covid-19.
    16
  3006. Allowing Iran to develop nukes would be far worse!
    16
  3007. "The government went back on a promise" Is there anyone in this country who is so naïve and stupid as to trust this government to keep its promises, or honour its commitments. How does that old rhyme go: Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. What does that say about those who are taken in time and time again?
    16
  3008. Pour chaque Russe mort ramené au pays, il y en a probablement une centaine dont les proches ne savent pas ce qui leur est arrivé.
    16
  3009. Let's hope the courts have the decency to jail this man.
    16
  3010. Even an imbecile could have predicted this. Surely few idiots expected interest rates to remain at such absurdly low levels. And this was EASILY avoidable if the old rules about only lending 3 to 4 times income had been rigorously enforced. This would also have prevented house prices rising to unaffordable levels. Well, if people start being repossessed and/or throwing the keys back at lenders then maybe they will come back down to more realistic levels. Prepare to welcome back negative equity.
    16
  3011. What's exceptionally difficult for all of us is still having to listed to this Dr. Death. Most funerals are far more cheerful than this depressive doom monger. One of my biggest regrets about covid-19 is that it didn't take out Whitty and Furgesson.
    16
  3012. Give a tyrant an inch and they will take a mile!
    16
  3013.  @jusmecatalina  Some choose to but MOST ARE FORCED!
    16
  3014. While seeing Russian tanks burn is always heartwarming there's slight disappointment when they are not moving because there's a good chance that no Orcs got roasted too.
    16
  3015. When Trump initially became president I thought it was a good thing. But watching everything he did it soon became clear that he was definitely not the kind of person who should be sitting in the oval office. Those who still support this man are either very bad people, or seriously mentally enfeebled: often both. They are an embarrassment to what I still think is one of the greatest countries on the planet.
    16
  3016. Medical ethics would most certainly agree that you do not force someone to take a vaccine solely for the benefit of others. And let's be honest! This is most definitely the case for those who are young or have recovered from covid-19, and now with natural immunity. But long ago this government burnt the book on ethics, and scattered its ashes.
    16
  3017. The better man definitely won.
    16
  3018. These companies, and should be burnt to the ground, with their CEOs in them!
    16
  3019. The best part was that the Orcs behaved suicidally in their efforts to take Bakhmut.
    16
  3020. Here's a really easy choice. The NHS has about 3 times as many managers and admin staff as it needs. Get rid of 2/3rds of them!
    16
  3021. For doctors and nurses the NHS is a truly shitty employer. What we should be asking ourselves is why the other 6 out of 10 junior doctors stay. Wouldn't it be worrying if this were because they weren't good enough to get out?
    16
  3022. Even hell wouldn't want this cabinet.
    16
  3023. You didn't need to be too bright to work this out. And you needed to be even less bright to ask how green the electricity needed to run these heat pump really is. Just imagine a very calm spell that's also very cold, and that most people have a heat pump. Guess where that electricity ISN'T going to come from.
    16
  3024. This is not news. It's been going on for at least a couple of decades in the UK. When I taught in New Zealand even swearing at a teacher was a really big deal. It only takes one or two bad students in a class to totally destroy the learning of the rest. I've seen the effect of removing a few bad apples from a classroom. It really is miraculous, as if someone has waved a magic wand. Both morale and learning improve massively. Call me a dinosaur, but I'm there for the kids who want to learn, so don't preach about the rights of those who want to destroy their lessons.
    16
  3025. Big hairy ones.
    16
  3026. When I saw "Gonor Group" I had to do a quick retake as for an instant I thought I saw Gondor, which would have been very fitting. It's not just Ukrainian soldiers that refer to Orcs. Most decent people do.
    16
  3027. In almost all jobs we accept that experience in that job equips us to do it better. So I'm always extremely dubious about cabinet reshuffles. Am I the only one who thinks that they have vastly more to do with rewarding cronyism than putting the person who would best serve the country into that position?
    16
  3028. For the good of the British people, and especially the poorest, Starmer should have opposed lockdowns and Covid restrictions. But it was vastly more important for him to help the government do things that would seriously damage its popularity, regardless of the harm done to the country and its people.
    16
  3029. This is like two rival drug barons who very temporarily band together against the police, but are looking for the earliest opportunity to stab each other in the back.
    16
  3030. Not to worry, between continuing excess deaths, due to a "treatment" that most didn't need, and still running at around 10%, and deaths due to not being treated in time, the waiting lists will eventually come down. And if, like Sunak, you can afford it, you have immediate access to some of the best specialists in the world.
    16
  3031. That will just postpone a lot of marriages. There needs to be a concerted effort to put an end to what is in effect a form of slavery. Anyone found guilty of coercing a young woman into marriage should be very severely punished, and if possible they should be deported. Oh, and lest we forget, FGM is still going on in this country, with government, courts and police turning a blind eye to this live changing torture.
    16
  3032. On the plus side, it's been reported that this storm has totaled some Russian defenses in Crimea. Hopefully Ukraine will take maximum advantage of this.
    16
  3033. Putin is like the bully wearing a couple of knuckle dusters, who gets really upset when his victim is given just one.
    16
  3034. Same thing is happening in Alberta, but unlike Putin they won't be blaming it on America.
    15
  3035. Is anyone buying this act? I've seen crocodiles shed more sincere tears. The wickedness of this very evil woman has caught up with her, and the only thing she is upset about is the prospect of going to jail.
    15
  3036. I've just read that Labour is spending about £45,000 per year on each illegal migrant. After the taxman has taken his cut that's more than double of what most honest, decent hardworking people take home!
    15
  3037. All nuclear power stations are designed with failsafe systems PRECISELY to cope with complete power failure. Most typically, control rods are held above the reactor by electromagnets so that in the even of a power failure they drop down and instantly quench the reaction by absorbing the neutrons needed to sustain it.
    15
  3038. I suspect that most of us would now like to see this happen.
    15
  3039. It's hard to think of anything Trump has done which wouldn't be extremely welcome if it were done in the UK.
    15
  3040. It doesn't get much sicker and more revolting than this.
    15
  3041. One certainly hopes so. And we definitely shouldn't forget India's support for Putin!
    15
  3042. And YouTube is removing comments asking for it!
    15
  3043. Il ne fait aucun doute qu’Assad et ceux qui ont « travaillé » pour lui dans cette prison doivent être capturés et punis de manière appropriée. Pourquoi YouTube a-t-il supprimé le commentaire en anglais qui disait cela ?
    15
  3044. If he were born a little earlier, and in another country, Corbyn would have made a very fine SS or Gestapo officer.
    15
  3045. You would think that they would have the good sense to surrender. They would get far better treatment as POWs, and it would often save their lives.
    15
  3046. Once again, let's put these 3,689 deaths into perspective. India has a population about 20 times that of the UK so this is like having 3689/20 = 185 daily deaths in the UK. Doesn't sound anywhere near as bad now, does it? The media keeps trying to scare the innumerate with raw numbers, but the ONLY figures that make any sense are the RATES per million of population. Believe it or not, even with lots of under reporting India is still doing a lot better than many other countries, including the UK!
    15
  3047. "We don't understand why" Actually we do! Some countries are doing a lot better because of NATURAL IMMUNITY. As per Occam's razor, explanations become easy when you factor this in. However if you are directly, or indirectly, on a government payroll then it is absolutely verbotten to acknowledge how much better this is than vaccination, or that it might last a lifetime.
    15
  3048. Nothing like a good Orc roast.
    15
  3049. The Russian military is very good when it comes to exercises, but absolutely crap when they have to do it for real.
    15
  3050. Going back over 40 years I can recall a conversation I had with a young policeman from Sussex who said that the police used to refer to Heathrow Airport as Thief Row.
    15
  3051. Dream on Putin fan boy.
    15
  3052. You would be surprised how quickly people can learn the language of a country if that country doesn't pander to those speaking foreign languages. I had to take someone to court in Germany. Although the judge, as a great many Germans do, probably spoke good English, I had two choices PAY for a translator or speak German. I can remember saying "Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber meine Klage ist es einfach". I won!
    15
  3053. It's funny how there is a video of this with quite spectacular fireworks, and yet nobody was hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if the local crabs are now feasting on well roasted Orcs. I wonder how many Russians even know what telling the truth means.
    15
  3054. In order to prevent further such acts it's absolutely imperative that Ukraine blows up a Russian dam of similar size and importance, or responds with something in kind that is just as big and significant for Russia, ASAP. This is the ONLY language Russia understands, and if it had expected an equal response then this would never have happened, and we wouldn't now be worrying about Zaporizhzhia. However causing a radioactive leak here could be an own goal, as prevailing westerly winds might blow a lot of any leaked radioactivity straight into Russia.
    15
  3055. Their only regret is that they didn't get away with their sleazy plan.
    15
  3056. So 10 refineries to go.
    15
  3057. I always have a chuckle when I pass a certain house that has a van parked outside with its business name "Hole Masters" emblazoned on it. Maybe it's just my sick mind, but it makes me think of what a porn producer might call their business.
    15
  3058. Many of us have been saying this for ages. Russia needs to be forced to accept that occupying Ukraine, including Crimea, comes at too high a price.
    15
  3059. I'm betting that when Trump was a schoolboy he was one of the most self-entitled and whining kids that you could ever meet: and little has changed.
    15
  3060. I think we all figured that out quite a few months ago. With what we pay the French to do nothing we could well afford to have a few Royal Navy vessels patrol the vulnerable part of the channel, and forcibly return ALL small boats to France, or to the edge of French territorial waters.
    15
  3061. Am I the only one that would dearly love to see big spacious airships reintroduced, where one can mover around, instead of having to stay seated in a tiny seat. I'd happily have the journey take 2 or 3 times as long, rather than be sat between two obese people, overflowing onto my seat, for several hours. Airships could be both sustainable and comfortable.
    15
  3062. Putin's former cook was running Wagner. Now his bodyguard is in charge of the Kursk defence. I predict that his barber is in for a big promotion soon.
    15
  3063. Never has that old adage "no good deed goes unpunished" been more apt!
    15
  3064. And one of the very best ways to encourage growth would be to get rid of every last shred of covid-19 regulations!
    15
  3065. Leopards have a good sense of smell. It was probably upset by the stench of corruption.
    15
  3066. Those Orcs really do look like farmyard vermin running round in a panic as they are culled. Except that I'd feel more sympathy for farmyard vermin.
    15
  3067. Why just 500? Just keep sending them until the dingy boys get the message. Also, focus on the men, as far more of them come over than women and children.
    15
  3068. When this counter offensive kicks off it would also be a really good time for the people of Georgia and Belarus to remove their Russian puppet governments, and for Georgia to take back the 20% of its territory that was stolen. There are also other regions that want to be free of Moscow. Such a good opportunity may not come again.
    15
  3069. The tests aren't free. Us hard working taxpayers fund them. I haven't taken a single free test, and I don't see why I should pay to assuage the cowardly snowflakes' paranoia.
    15
  3070. Well if Ukrainian forces acting behind enemy lines carried out the Crimea airbase attack then they may also be able to carry out an attack on a Russian nuclear power station near Moscow. The best way of dissuading Russia from committing atrocities is a cast iron guarantee that similar atrocities will be committed against it.
    15
  3071. Because of Chicken Joe: cluck, cluck, cluck.
    15
  3072. No! The only mistake that Boris made was in thinking he could get Owen Paterson off the hook.
    15
  3073. It does indeed have a point. To absolve the guilty and handsomely remunerate the lawyers managing it.
    15
  3074. Shaking hands with Shapps. I hope Zelensky counted his fingers afterward.
    15
  3075. Combination of stupidity, cowardliness, and not caring.
    15
  3076. Well done those parents. If I were there and the same was done for 16 to 18 year-olds I'd consider volunteering my services.
    15
  3077. While electric cars will make our cities much more pleasant than those powered by petrol and diesel, I do wonder if on a global scale they are improving anything. How carefully have we audited both the cost of producing them, and the CO₂ produced in generating the electricity? Also, if you do long journeys you need to consider that, unlike petrol or diesel, recharging takes much more than a couple of minutes: and a car can go twice as far on a full tank. Getting people completely out of their cars, onto public transport, or cycling, or walking would be so much better. But so much of many economies is dependent on people buying and running cars, so governments don't really want to drastically cut private motoring, no matter how good this might be for the planet, and our children's futures.
    15
  3078. Sometimes you have to FIGHT to get your freedom back. One thing that would help would be if people who wear them start being called "mask w@nkers".
    15
  3079. As Katyn proved, Russians are very good at this kind of thing. So perhaps they gave Assad a hand with quite a few of these atrocities.
    15
  3080. I won't be breaking out the champagne, but I guess it's better than having Rich Boy Sunak, the pension thief, as PM.
    15
  3081. If I was the captain of a cargo ship part of my equipment would be a rocket launcher capable of blowing a hole in any attacking vessel.
    15
  3082. As others have said, it has to be a small one, because all the big ones have been sunk.🤣
    15
  3083. Call me an old softie, but why not just put Geronimo on antibiotics and keep him away from cows?
    15
  3084. France should have followed Italy's fine example. The Ocean Viking should be forced to take these illegal aliens back to where they set sail from. Of course, France knows that they will probably not stay but try to head to the UK.
    15
  3085. As you get older it really is a case of "use it or lose it" for almost everything. I have a bit of a walk most days, and somewhat longer ones when the weather is good. For my brain, I'm still working on improving my French and German: I watch an episode of something in French and German almost every day. I also have my nose in abstract algebra and general relativity books.
    15
  3086. If only they could also be deployed to Ukraine.
    15
  3087. Well there's an excuse in the making for Boris. I wonder how long it will take him to use it.
    15
  3088. Putin can't even win against just Ukraine, so what chance has he got against NATO?
    15
  3089. The many, many people who now can't see their GPs face to face won't even notice if they go on strike. At least not paying their wages, while they have given up the pretense of working, will save the NHS some money.
    15
  3090. When it comes to Russia it's very important not to confuse being elite with being intelligent.
    15
  3091. Since this appears to only be an issue with the mRNA vaccines the following hypothesis needs to be considered. Does some of the mRNA injected into the arm muscle get carried to the heart by the bloodstream. Heart muscle cells then absorbing it, in the same way as arm muscle cells, and then producing the viral antigen that the immune system reacts to would explain why we get heart inflammation with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, but not with the Astra-Zeneca one. If this is correct should we be worried about some of this mRNA making it into the brain, and being absorbed by brain tissue? Could this lead to neurodegenerative diseases, in young people, in a few years time?
    15
  3092. This could happen very quickly if others who have issues with Russia joined Ukraine now, and took advantage of Russia's greatly weakened military. Both Belarus and Georgia have puppet governments that are subservient to Moscow, and need to be replaced. Additionally, Georgia needs to take back the 20% of its country that was stolen. There are also several regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. There's never been a better time to fight back against Moscow's tyranny, and such an opportunity might not come again. Now is the time to put an end, once and for all, to Putin's evil empire.
    15
  3093. Yep, just like the school bully who runs crying to the teacher when the little kid hits him back.
    15
  3094. YouTube has removed or hidden most similar comments!
    15
  3095. France is twice the size of the UK. It is blessed with a better climate, outstanding scenery, and a rich culture. Unlike the UK its borders are not protected by at least 20 miles of sea. Yet it has the same population as the UK. Our governments are clearly doing lots of things that are very, very wrong!
    15
  3096. Burke needs to find that a few of Australia's most venomous have found their way into his house!
    15
  3097. Oh, another English name!
    15
  3098. FFS! We are told that this person poses little risk to the public. So why are the idiot police causing people so much inconvenience by closing motorways and parks? Letting this guy escape was a screw up, but the headless chicken attempt to catch him is an even bigger one!
    15
  3099. If NATO wants "strong battlefield success" then levelling the playing field a bit might help. Ukraine should be given the long range drones and missiles it needs to strike deep into Russia: and ENCOURAGED to do so. This is where a lot of the sites from which Russia launches missiles on Ukrainian civilians are. This is where supplies to its front line need to be cut off. And giving Ukraine the means to QUICKLY put the Kerch bridge permanently out of commission might help massively, because not only is it the major supply route to Crimea, but its destruction would cause intense and very public humiliation to Putin, that he might not survive.
    15
  3100. So many of us would really like to see Ukraine do the same to Russia's rail network.
    15
  3101. Really good news! I just hope the number infected by this EXTREMELY MILD variant continues to escalate everywhere. Omicron offers the very real possibility of quickly and SAFELY spreading herd immunity, and ending this pandemic.
    15
  3102. Looks like a lovely day for an Orc barbecue.
    15
  3103. I wonder if those tourists realise how incredibly lucky they were to witness such a rare event.
    15
  3104. One thing is for sure. We won't see French or Italian flags being waved anytime soon, after their pathetic bleats about not humiliating Psycho Putin.
    15
  3105. So many of us warned against voting for either the Tories or Labour. This is the price of ignoring very sage advice.
    15
  3106. I condemn having my hard earned taxes squandered on superstitious bible bashers.
    15
  3107. I find it hard to express my outrage about this. Even a first class flight would have cost less than one hundredth of this. I regularly get letters from Moorfields Hospital desperately struggling to raise a quarter of what this trollop squandered, for vital equipment. This was a gross misuse of the taxpayers money, and Truss should be made to pay it back personally!
    15
  3108. Just look at the other side of the road. Whatever else you might say about Russians you have to admit that they are the world's best when it comes to running away.
    15
  3109. It's a bit like a video game, but the Orcs are real, and you are doing a lot of good killing them.
    15
  3110. Rishi Sunak, and others in his cabinet, are incontestable proof that you don't need much intelligence to get a PPP or humanities degree from Oxbridge.
    15
  3111. If that spiral building could be brought down it would certainly make an impression.
    15
  3112. Absolutely right. Any ceasefire would only be used to catch ones breath, rearm, regroup and attack again.
    15
  3113. Everyone who isn't mentally feeble has realised this for months.
    15
  3114. I made a similar comment which YouTube instantly deleted. I've now repeated the comment in French, but I think YouTube may have hidden it this time.
    15
  3115. This is why America and Britain need to give Ukraine their blessing to use the weapons they supply against the bases in Russia from which these attacks are being launched. It's called defending yourself.
    15
  3116. I do wonder why we haven't jet built the equivalent of fighter jets or bombers designed to be piloted purely by someone hooked up to a good VR interface. One could make them considerably smaller and harder to hit, and for some important targets they would have double the range as there would be no pilot to bring home. Then again maybe this has been developed but is being kept as an ace up the sleeve.
    15
  3117. Well, with between 500 and 1000, and rising, dying every week, due to poor NHS access, that should eventually cut into waiting lists and waiting times.
    15
  3118. So many have been saying this. In fact one of his doctors could probably do Russia a massive favour very easily.
    15
  3119. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the Orcs belonging to this regiment were in their tanks.
    15
  3120. The offer of the right to live in the EU once again shows how unbelievably dumb Putin's FSB are. Even without this such a quick arrest was not credible.
    15
  3121. Catching EXTREMELY MILD Omicron is at the worst no more bother than MILD cold. These lazy skivers need to go into work and do the job they are paid to do!
    15
  3122. More likely firing at train carriages full of defenseless civilians.
    15
  3123. Modern explosives are extremely stable in regard to going off accidentally, and they are also very well stored. The Moskva being taken out by Ukraine is thousands of times more likely. In regard to Putin, the biggest accident occurred nearly 70 years ago, when the midwife got the baby and the afterbirth mixed up.
    15
  3124. For anyone in the slightest doubt, this shows just how little Alex Salmond really cares about Scotland.
    15
  3125. Amazing how this very woke Archbishop supports child abuse. Maybe the child would have to be of a certain creed or colour to garner his sympathy.
    15
  3126. She needs to experience what these young girls suffered!
    15
  3127. And, in breaking news, it's been confirmed that the Pope is a Catholic.
    15
  3128. Would calling them Gestapo be more accurate?
    15
  3129. Tell that to Putin!
    15
  3130. Every single board member of South West Water should be forced to drink a pint of the tap water in Brixham, with someone on hand to stop them trying to vomit it up.
    15
  3131.  @dissonantiacognitiva7438  Covid was already in the UK by late November. It took so long to detect it because for over 99% of people it is no big deal. This is now well known.
    15
  3132. These missiles are very expensive, and in limited supply, so make everyone count!
    15
  3133. So folks, next time you are burgled, or attacked in your home, just have a golliwog to hand. Instead of making a futile phone call to the police just display the doll in your window, and you will have a couple of car loads of coppers round in minutes.
    15
  3134. Herr Macron's despotism will bring back memories of the Nazi occupation to older French people. Only the Nazis didn't stop them travelling and going to cafes.
    15
  3135. What these cowboys fail to mention is that charging this way is less efficient. Notice how no mention is made of how much power is just turned into useless heat and wasted. Wasted power = more green house gases!
    15
  3136. Hope they have still got plenty of presents to give the Orcs for Russian Orthodox Christmas.
    15
  3137. People do indeed need hope, but voting for Labour with the likes of Starmer in charge is definitely a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire!
    15
  3138. Sounds like Putin is getting ever more desperate. I suppose none of his advisors wants to be the one to tell him that most people now just laugh at his threats and outbursts.
    15
  3139. If young people want to make such a difference then they need to be studying things like maths, physics and chemistry: not sh*t like sociology, psychology and business studies.
    15
  3140. I hear Satan is very upset at losing his "father of lies" title to Putin.
    15
  3141. And you know the best part of this? How quickly you get to see your doctor will be decided by some receptionist who probably just scraped a couple of GCSEs, and makes Sharron and Tracey look like noble laureates.
    15
  3142. The only difference between Virginia and most prostitutes is that most prostitutes are honest and don't try to screw you decades later. Andy may be randy, but he didn't break any law: Virginia was in the UK and over 16.
    15
  3143. Borrowing to invest is good. Borrowing to squander is disastrous!
    15
  3144. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    15
  3145. Call me perverse, but I like to see a clear cost up front, and hate the tipping custom. I don't mean that I want to pay less, just that the prices on the menu should adequately cover everything, including paying the waiters and waitresses a decent wage.
    15
  3146. I'd have thought that would make most of them feel at home.
    15
  3147. The trouble is that voting for Labour instead is like swapping from the guy pulling out your fingernails to one that's going to pull out your toenails. If the British electorate had a modicum of intelligence and courage then Reform UK would be a sure bet. Unfortunately both qualities are lacking in most voters.
    15
  3148. 50 or 60 red lines? Surely you mean 500 or 600 red lines.
    15
  3149. If this had been the Cold War era I suspect that we could have gone straight into Ukraine, at the country's own request, to help it defend its territories and take them back.
    15
  3150. Next time, if it's safe to do so, let them get a bit closer so that more are in range. Then you can have a turkey shoot as they try to run away.
    15
  3151. When I was growing up there was a sweets factory a stones throw from Alexandra Palace. In Enfield there were countless factories. All those jobs are now gone, and one has to ask oneself how many have been replaced by overseas child labour or working conditions that would be illegal in the UK.
    15
  3152. Consider this. For the past two years or so about 10% of excess deaths have only occurred in most of the most highly developed countries, that had access to a certain very new form of vaccination. Is this just a coincidence?
    15
  3153. Another 4½ years, unfortunately!
    15
  3154. Where the hell are the police and the expulsions?
    15
  3155. ​ @richardpoulton5161  Yes, I hear those who already suffer from pathological laziness are most at risk from long Covid.
    15
  3156. And definitely not a pretty sight.
    15
  3157. Every time Putin makes a safe flight is an obscene waste of an opportunity to blow him out of the sky, and save many thousands of lives.
    15
  3158. Does this government ever think things through properly? Problems come to mind such as having someone in your house who doesn't speak a word of English, or having people offer places just for the money, who will then pile more misery upon their guests.
    15
  3159. Like the "gobble and wobble" couple, they have probably done this in other restaurants too and should be jailed.
    15
  3160. If only Ukraine had the fighter jets so that they could go on a good turkey shoot once anti-aircraft systems are taken out.
    15
  3161. A very tongue in cheek suggestion. Most countries won't let you live there unless you have valuable skills that they want. And in fact many people with such skills do quit the UK: doctors and nurses, in particular.
    15
  3162. If there is plenty of room for energy suppliers to lower energy costs then the simple answer is not to end the price cap, it's to significantly lower it!
    15
  3163. Dream on Putin rent boy.
    15
  3164. Throughout this pandemic I've been the first to cheer on all the parties and raves that ignored these totally unnecessary rules. However, I take a very different view when people break the rules that they themselves have imposed on others. Boris is a LIAR, a CHEAT, and a HYPOCRITE. Such people should not even be MPs, let alone the PM.
    15
  3165. As always, this looks like Russia is very far from reporting the full extent of what happened. Drones are relatively small, so what's the probability that debris from it took out 3 people? And it would also have to have been shot down almost directly above the airbase for this to happen.
    15
  3166. I'm not a Trump fan, but one does have to ask whether Putin would have invaded Ukraine on his watch. Biden is definitely perceived as being a very weak man. In fact the Australian press has been questioning his mental faculty for some time now.
    15
  3167. Very true. But handing things over to Labour would be like someone who has drunk 6 pints handing over the steering wheel to someone who has drunk 10!
    15
  3168.  @ILTOMBA  It's only a fascist remark to an anti-Semite!
    15
  3169. Having sold everyone the idea of a quick "special operation" that would last about 6 days, with minimal loses, Putin's war is now into its 6th month, with far more Russian deaths than in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign. Putin is living on borrowed time and he is desperate enough to do anything. Of course, this certainly doesn't mean we should give into him in the slightest, or not try to cause him maximum humiliation.
    15
  3170. Sadly, it's generally true that a politician's promise is invariably a broken promise.
    15
  3171. The worst part is that, with Labour appeasing Muslim fundamentalists, we are even less safe now!
    15
  3172. Always a pleasure to watch these videos: even more so when one knows some Orcs have also been roasted.
    15
  3173. If the cabinet had a grain of integrity, and half a brain between them they would launch immunity testing (memory B and T cells as well as antibodies) for everyone, coupled with certification. We would learn vastly more from this. But the government really, really don't want to learn that those who got covid-19 over a year ago, but haven't been vaccinated, might still have excellent natural immunity. That's because they would then have to answer some very awkward questions.
    15
  3174. It's imperative that we enable Ukraine to keep fighting throughout this winter, because pausing last winter was disastrous.
    15
  3175. Schools should be where we teach kids to think rationally and logically. ALL religion should be left at the school gates.
    15
  3176. The Orcs are desperate for a victory here, as they are getting their arses badly kicked everywhere else.
    15
  3177. I read that those sea drones are being packed with TNT. There are now much more powerful explosives. Use these instead and there will be almost zero chance of an Orc ship surviving an encounter. Also, if these much more powerful explosives were well shaped there's a good chance that these sea drones could take out supports for the Kerch bridge.
    15
  3178. An even better way to keep the pressure on these Russian "trawlers" would be if a few had "accidents" that took them to the bottom with all hands. After all, everybody knows that fishing is a dangerous occupation.
    15
  3179. What else would one expect from someone who was previously a third rate desk jockey in the KGB?
    15
  3180. At last somebody saying what I've been saying for years. Turn on the 6pm ITV news and you will see a perfect example of this. It's also now normalised in reality shows and many adverts. Years ago the Billy Bunters and Ten Ton Tesses, that were made fun of encouraged people to watch their weight. Sugar taxes and far less satisfying low-fat foods aren't the answer. Before it became non PC to fat shame there were far fewer fatties wobbling down the high street.
    15
  3181. I'm betting an awful lot of people wish that he'd never come back from the war!
    14
  3182. When are people going to understand that those with the money and power really don't care what happens to the NHS. If you can afford it then you can access the best specialists and treatment within a few days or a couple of weeks. Waiting lists do not exist for those with money.
    14
  3183. Very nice! As some could clearly be seen moving this means that a good few filthy Orcs were eradicated.
    14
  3184. As others have said, a DNA test would instantly find out the liars. The man could then me imprisoned and the woman deported.
    14
  3185. ​ @raysmith2940  No evidence on this video of him doing so during this march. You need to have a think about not supporting Hamas.
    14
  3186. Keep up the good work. There's nothing like having plenty of roast Orc for Christmas.
    14
  3187. It's not. In the USA their are honest judges striking down tyrannous illegal "laws", such as vaccine mandates. Unfortunately the supreme courts of the UK, and most European countries, are stuffed to the gills with corrupt judges.
    14
  3188. Back in England now, I really miss the poppy seed strudel cake, which is a real pain to make at home (grinding poppy seeds is not fun), but was really cheap in Berlin. In the UK it's very hard to get and bloody expensive if you can find it.
    14
  3189. Lots of men enter, no men leave.
    14
  3190. We are talking about an abject coward who, stays very far from the front line, where others fight and die for him. A jellyfish has more spine than Putin, so it's a very safe bet that he will remain in Moscow, cowering in his Kremlin bunker.
    14
  3191. Can't wait to see someone get careless with a cigarette here.
    14
  3192. Orban needs to remember that if Putin takes Ukraine, and then the Baltic states, that Hungary and Poland are next on his list!
    14
  3193. What's even sadder is that all that water, which is so badly needed is going to go to waste and just flow back into the sea.
    14
  3194. Are hospitals truly in danger of being overwhelmed? No! In fact we still have all those Nightingale hospitals standing empty. We, and MPs, also need to remember that lots of infections in themselves are no big deal. Most people will brush them off without giving them a second thought, and will then have long term immunity. In fact, if one believes the government figures of 58,000 deaths, then given the very low IFR of less than 0.3%, this means that over 19 million people in the UK are now immune to this virus. That's over 28% of the UK population who don't need to wear masks, social distance or self-isolate. MPs need to take all this into account and, for the far greater good, reject any further restrictions. All we should be doing is shielding the relatively few genuinely vulnerable. People, and MPs especially, need to stop listening to the outrageous scaremongering.
    14
  3195. The reputable studies put it at over 10 times more effective. Also, unlike the vaccines, it is long lasting: maybe for life.
    14
  3196. Free range roast Orc.
    14
  3197. 1000's more STILL going on!
    14
  3198. Ukraine's national dish: well roasted Orc.
    14
  3199. Ireland should ditch the entire team. Better to lose while a new team is developed than be represented by such disgracefully anti-Semitic women. I wonder if this wicked team have any idea how many Irish men, or men of Irish descent, died fighting the Nazis? So many people in Ireland will be absolutely horrified by their behaviour, which brings deep shame on the Irish Republic.
    14
  3200. After 31 minutes I see only 3 out of 13 comments. No prizes for guessing which ones YouTube is deleting and hiding.
    14
  3201. I'll never understand why people made such a bloody fuss about Diana. From what I hear, those who had to deal with her on a daily basis weren't so enamored of her. Also, if there hadn't been any interference then Charles would have married Camilla many years before he met Diana. I wonder how many of these Camilla haters would behave if they had been prevented from marrying someone that they really loved.
    14
  3202. We need steel, so it makes a lot of sense to produce it ourselves. For this we need coal, so it also makes a lot of sense to use our own. This gives Brits jobs and saves the greenhouse gas emissions caused my transport. It's hard to see the argument against this.
    14
  3203. Trump's remark about not holding the cards is now looking pretty dumb, and Ukraine may well have a few more aces up its sleeve.
    14
  3204. And TTK wonders why we had those riots!
    14
  3205. We are already the laughing stock of the world without having a PM who left school at 16 without even a single qualification: and got nothing of the slightest significance subsequently.
    14
  3206. Well one thing is absolutely certain. William is certainly not among the world's greatest brains and minds.
    14
  3207. Belgorod is a major supply depot and military hub for operations in Ukraine, so it richly deserves a damn good pummeling.
    14
  3208. Starmer couldn't bear to be constantly reminded of what a proper PM is like.
    14
  3209. Well explained. As stupid lazy boys at school find out time and time again, crammed learning is not the best form of learning. At the best I'd expect Ukrainian troops to need at least a very intense month of training on how to best use and keep these tanks battle ready. Hopefully winter will keep the Orcs at bay this long.
    14
  3210. Credit where credit is due. Well done Turkey. However, don't let the same thing happen to Finnish and Swedish kids, by keeping these countries out of NATO.
    14
  3211. Of course Aussies are strict on rules. Prisons are strict on rules, and Australia was founded as a prison.
    14
  3212. It's the same remorse people feel after buying from a dodgy car dealer, except you probably get a much fairer deal from the car dealer!
    14
  3213. Pity. I'd really like to see Omicron rip through the population and spread herd immunity. And if it could take out lots of snowflakes then that would be a bonus.
    14
  3214. You don't know whether to laugh or cry. And I bet he won't be deported when he is released.
    14
  3215. At my age nightclubs seem like hell on earth, and I very rarely go to pubs. But I have the honesty to admit that I really enjoyed both when I was young. And I also have the sense to understand how much badly needed employment they provide. With 16 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, it's time to stop worrying about the R number and the number of infections. Very, very few infections will now result in hospitalisations, which is the only thing that really matters. Boris needs to stop being a big girl's blouse, put on his big boy pants, and end all this insane lockdown crap now.
    14
  3216. They didn't seem to have a "lack of courage" when it came to abusing the women holding a vigil for Sarah Everard!
    14
  3217. "last blows of a very wounded (rabid) animal", sounds about right.
    14
  3218. What amazes me is that so many people were stupid enough to trust airlines and the airports to honour their contracts.
    14
  3219.  @pdizzle7111  Nick is well known as a very frightened old troll, who will say anything to persuade others to gat vaccinated and wear masks. He has wet dreams about new lockdowns.
    14
  3220. For those of us who don't believe in any of this superstitious nonsense, this is really entertaining. I look forward to being amused at whatever replaces "God the Father" and "God the Son". Don't forget to make it LGBT inclusive too.😉
    14
  3221. Only frightening to gullible fools, who believe such nonsense.
    14
  3222. If restrictions are brought back then people will be throwing petrol bombs, not tennis balls, into Downing Street. I can also think of an incredibly easy and very effective way to very quickly and totally, disable any bunch of police or troops trying to protect ministers. It's very, very nasty, so I won't mention it now, but if restrictions come back I might well change my mind.
    14
  3223. Russia's answer to Laurel and Hardy.🤣🤣🤣
    14
  3224. The trouble with the Royals is that they get a free pass to the university of their choice, and so don't realise that they aren't particularly bright. Willy needs to leave such matters to those who are vastly more intelligent than him.
    14
  3225. Yep, this building was a military target. There was a six year-old boy running around in a cowboy outfit with a toy gun that fired caps.
    14
  3226. Once upon at time Lebanon was a Christian country. It was very peaceful and known as the "Jewel of the Middle East". Maybe that's something the diversity warriors in the UK should reflect on.
    14
  3227. Pity there were no Orcs next to it. I hate to see a good fire go to waste.
    14
  3228. Even if Putin agrees to a 30 day pause, am I the only one expecting him to massively reinforce and rearm all Russia positions during that time, as well as moving lots more men and equipment closer to Ukraine?
    14
  3229. There was a study done in Denmark. It COULDN'T conclude that masks helped.
    14
  3230. Despite all this, some people would have us believe that there is a possibility of lasting peace while Hamas continues to exist.
    14
  3231. Heartening to see people crowed together without any bloody masks, and enjoying themselves. Everyone can have this if they just stop being frightened sheep and stand up to the tyrants in Downing Street.
    14
  3232. Wouldn't it be wonderful if these Ukrainian troops could call in an airstrike to clean out the Orc trenches. And God knows there is no shortage of American, British and Polish fighter pilots who would love to fly such missions.
    14
  3233. If a woman GENUINELY wants to wear a Hijab that's fine. There are a few who do so. Indeed, in 1930s Germany some Jews wore their yellow stars with pride. However most women, and girls, only wear the Hijab because they are forced to do so by their parents or cavemen fathers, brothers or husbands. Banning the hijab in public would defend the rights of far more women than those whose rights it infringed. Men who tell girls and women how to live their lives are really sick puppies, who need to be defanged.
    14
  3234. Germany also has more land per person than the UK!
    14
  3235. Can we be hopeful that less parents will go off to enjoy themselves, while leaving their very young children alone?
    14
  3236. I'd feel safe dancing naked up and down a full covid ward.
    14
  3237. People like him don't have any sense of shame or decency!
    14
  3238. Like the French we need to be much prouder and supportive of our own culture. Those who don't like it shouldn't come here! This French senator is absolutely right. Freedom is one thing, but in the name of political correctness we turn a blind eye to certain groups oppressing women. They come to Britain because countries like France won't let them get away with it!
    14
  3239. Absolutely correct. Those in much smaller Hong Kong would never have become part of China if they had been given any choice in the matter.
    14
  3240. Private dentists have more work than they can handle, so why on earth would they want to work for the NHS? As well as getting better paid they also generally have to deal with far fewer nasty patients.
    14
  3241. What a brave woman! What a contrast to a man who is meant to have a black belt in karate, but hides away and sends teenage boys to die for his war.
    14
  3242. ​ @renrutmat  The only sad thing here is you. As someone who teaches A-level physics, chemistry and maths I could easily use more scientific terms, but I've deliberately chosen the words I did for people like YOU.
    14
  3243. We will find that out soon enough when he tries to tax old people out of their homes, that they worked so hard to own, and puts VAT on private education. And let's not forget all the illegals he will simply give residence to.
    14
  3244. Not really. Some of them are counting the dollars they will receive when they get a nice cushy job with big pharma.
    14
  3245. The UK government has already said no.
    14
  3246. Nice to hear some sense spoken. And we all know where they should be detained. In Nissen huts on some wet, cold, windswept and remote Scottish island: relatively cheap, and hard to escape from. Do this, advertise it well and you will have a very effective deterrent.
    14
  3247. That's the wonderful thing about Orcs. They make a good barbeque even in the winter.
    14
  3248. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. If South Africa is a member of the ICC then it is legally bound to respect it's judgement and enforce its warrants. Or does it want to go back to its apartheid days, when it was a pariah state?
    14
  3249. Well, there's nothing like leading by example. Let's first give the drug squad unrestricted access to Downing Street. I'd bet good money we would be down a goodly number of ministers!
    14
  3250. Party time! The world rid of another rabid fundamentalist animal. Well done Israel.
    14
  3251. And YouTube is STILL helping cover it up!
    14
  3252. I'd be very surprised if most nurses earn anywhere near £35,600, especially for a working week of between 35 and 40 hours, that most take for granted. Most of the public don't give a toss about nurses, but expect them to care deeply about them if they end up in hospital. It cuts both ways!
    14
  3253. The public mustn't surrender to EITHER Labour or the Conservatives!
    14
  3254. Long overdue! I hope his stupid, selfish parents, and not the taxpayers, have to pay all the legal costs. As for a game going wrong, this may be nothing more than wishful thinking. The sad fact is that it's not unknown for boys around Archie's age, who appear to be perfectly happy, to commit suicide. I was teaching in a school where this happened.
    14
  3255. Russia "accusing" Ukraine is as comical as the school bully running crying to the teacher saying "that little kid hit me back".
    14
  3256. In relation to the size of China's population 60,000 in one month is truly negligible.
    14
  3257. At least the Spanish policeman won't be dragged through the courts for doing his duty: protecting civilians and his colleagues from a violent criminal.
    14
  3258. Before we get too concerned perhaps we should consider the possibility that this is Putin getting really desperate. Yes, he's launched a lot of missiles, but can he sustain this level of attack: very unlikely. With the start of the new year an awful lot of people will be reflecting that Putin's "special operation" which should have lasted just a couple of weeks is now getting on for two years. Putin NEEDS to put on a show for them.
    14
  3259. Am I the only one to notice the irony of all these covid-19 dictators worrying about democracy in another country?
    14
  3260. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't trust Starmer and his clowns to run a piss-up in a brewery.
    14
  3261. Seriously! Did anyone really believe that Labour would make even the slightest effort to stop the dinghy boys?
    14
  3262. All of us are sick of the WHO and Dr. Tedros Adhanom. They are what we need to cancel!
    14
  3263. I suspect that most in Britain are now wishing there was some procedure for removing this government, because the amount of damage it can do in five years is the stuff of our worst nightmares.
    14
  3264. Better to stand at the edge of a steaming dung heap than stand on the top and sink deeply into it.
    14
  3265. Things may be even worse under TTK, but they were already very bad under Rich Boy Sunak!
    14
  3266. "We can start to moderate that comment" God, it would be easier to squeeze blood out of a stone than to get these bloody scaremongers to just do the decent thing and admit that they are wrong.
    14
  3267. So true. This is an utter disgrace. Most of us can't afford to stay in the hotels they are put up in. Even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested keeping them on some remote Scottish island, which would not only be far cheaper, but a strong deterrent.
    14
  3268. In Hamas, other similar organisations, and Iran we have people totally dedicated to achieving what Hitler failed to do!
    14
  3269. Is this not a criminal offence? The video provides incontrovertible proof so this animal (not the cat) needs to be punished. He should be banned from owning any pet and massively fined, at the very least.
    14
  3270. Moscow City Day? Sounds like this would be a great night in Moscow for Ukraine to make really memorable.
    14
  3271. Well, people like me did warn you not to take covid-19 vaccines.
    14
  3272. Damage done during gestation can sometimes take several years after birth to become apparent. So there is absolutely no way that anyone can say for certain that these vaccines pose no risk. Anyone claiming otherwise is a LIAR.
    14
  3273. Giving into blackmail, real or imagined, is never an option!
    14
  3274. There is an incredibly easy way to relieve prison overcrowding, and many other countries do it without the slightest hesitation. You deport foreign criminals, and you do so without allowing bent lawyers to stuff their wallets by appealing the deportations.
    14
  3275. It doesn't matter in the least what Western weapons Ukraine uses in Russia, and the reason is very simple. Putin is in no position to escalate things. Does anyone seriously think he has been holding back in Ukraine? This was meant to be a very quick "special operation" and the longer it goes on the worse Putin looks. If Putin was able to escalate he would already have used those resources to bring his embarrassment in Ukraine to an end.
    14
  3276. Before those in their 20s start queuing up to be vaccinated they need to consider the relative risks: something Hancock really doesn't want them to do. The risk posed by covid-19 to almost all in this age group is damn near zero, whereas we know that all the vaccines carry a small risk. It may well be the case that the vaccine carries a greater risk than the disease, in which case any ethical doctor would strongly advise against having it. For the Pfizer vaccine we cannot completely rule out a possible nightmare scenario which I'll explain below. With the Pfizer vaccine, cases of heart inflammation have definitely been observed. Let's hypothesize as to how this happens. When you get the Pfizer vaccine mRNA is injected into your arm muscle. The cells in that muscle then take in the mRNA and start producing a viral antigen which is what your immune system reacts to. Now a very plausible explanation for heart inflammation is that some of the mRNA gets into the bloodstream and is transported to the heart, where it is taken up by the heart muscle, which then does exactly the same thing as your arm muscle. So the heart inflammation is due to your immune system reacting to the viral antigens that are being produced in your heart. What myself, and many others are worried about is the possibility that some of this mRNA might be transported across the blood-brain barrier and incorporated into brain tissue. Could we then, maybe a few years down the line, see an immune reaction in the brain leading to a neurodegenerative disease, like dementia? The prospect of this happening in lots of young people is absolutely horrific. If I were Johnson or Hancock I would worry far more about this than some bad arse variant developing.
    14
  3277. Definitely a very strong contender for one of the thickest Prime Ministers in any Western Democracy. Let's hope Kiwis show more sense in their next choice.
    14
  3278. Is anyone really at all surprised by this?
    14
  3279. I really do question how "down" many consumers feel. Plenty of non-essentials are still flying off the shelves. Crisps and cakes have doubled in price yet people are still buying them as much as ever. Also the coffee shops and fast food joints are continuing to do a roaring trade. I sometimes laugh when I see the prices that quiches and sausage rolls sell for, when I can make as good or better for about ¼ to ⅕ of the price. And don't get me going on the millions who have gone off on expensive summer holidays.
    14
  3280.  @passivehouseaustralia4406  Can you point to the law that says if someone tries hard enough then the police have to let them escape?
    14
  3281. @The Slip Or you could take a rest from being a gullible frightened snowflake.
    14
  3282. Changing sex is as realistic as me wearing massive platforms and then demanding that my passport is changed to say that I'm 6ft tall.
    14
  3283. You know what would really humiliate Putin? Taking out a few skyscrapers in Moscow. Come on Ukraine, if the IRA, with far less resources, was able to destroy the NatWest Tower then surely you can change the Moscow skyline a little.
    14
  3284. Did Turkey and Hungary also agree?
    14
  3285. Ofwat has the power to block these bonuses, but is too corrupt to do so!
    14
  3286. This is how you negotiate with Putin!
    14
  3287. Am I the only one to notice that its never the young attractive ones that are anxious to show the world what they have got. When I used to go walking in the Berlin area some of the horrific bodies on display really did ruin the scenery.
    14
  3288. Weren't people told that the Jewish ghettos were to protect others from disease?
    14
  3289. Why would anyone try to like crybaby Harry?
    14
  3290. My God, that would be like taking down reports of what was going on in places like Auschwitz!
    14
  3291. Blasphemy laws and Sharia courts?
    14
  3292. When it comes to Putin Trump is all talk, but there's nothing in the trousers. That's simply how it is, and it isn't going to change.
    14
  3293. Most people in this country, who have worked hard all their lives and paid their taxes, can only dream of being able to stay in hotels like this. Is it any wonder that we had riots in Southport?
    14
  3294. We only allow one particular religion to get away with this.
    14
  3295. If Sue Gray had a shred of decency and integrity she would give the MET police the middle finger and publish the whole report immediately. But then, if she was a decent person she wouldn't have got the job!
    14
  3296. Why isn't anyone interested in what this man was locked up for? It might explain the jubilation.
    14
  3297. Would that be the economic model where we don't manufacture anything, and everybody wants to do media studies and "work" as a blogger? Sadly this model has been going strong for at least another 10 or 20 years. In Enfield, where I live, if you threw a stone between the A10 and the river Lea 45 years ago you would have hit a factory. They are ALL now gone!
    14
  3298. The big deal is to try and make life as miserable and unbearable as possible for all us Pure Bloods. You see, when people start noticing that those of us with natural immunity are faring far better than the jabbed it really isn't going to look too good for the government.
    14
  3299. Funny, but that's exactly what Starmer's "far-right thugs" would claim.
    14
  3300. Wrong! Zelensky took US cash like someone who desperately needed it in order to save his people. And Biden provided that money not like a baby, but like someone who knew that helping those who were fighting very hard for their freedom, and dying, was the right thing to do. Decent people help those in dire need even when it's at a cost to themselves, rather than being a "good deal".
    14
  3301. Sooner or later we are going to see vigilante activity, and the judges handing out inappropriate sentences may have as much to fear as those who got off too lightly!
    14
  3302. Iranians please note. This is how you protest properly.

  3303. Way too dependent is forgivable, but WASTING the last 5 to 6 months is not. Germany should have been going hell for leather, during this time, to restart its nuclear power stations, but instead its "leaders" have just sat on their hands.
    14
  3304. People had the chance to vote for Reform UK, or even the Lib Dems. But like turkeys voting for Bernard Matthews most stuck with Labour or Conservative. Now we will all be punished for their stupidity.
    14
  3305. I hope the fact that we can't see any pigs running for their lives means that they got roasted in the building.
    14
  3306. One of the things I hated about living in New Zealand was how they mixed the bloody sport in with the rest of the news. Years ago in the UK all the sport was at the end of the news, so that those of us who have a life could switch off the TV and get on with it.
    14
  3307. There are regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. Hopefully these incursions will be the starting pistol for them to make a bid for freedom.
    14
  3308. Col. Leighton is saying exactly what I predicted when Ukraine was having great success with last year's counteroffensive. That is, that by pausing over winter they would give the Russians time to regroup, resupply and dig in. Fighting in winter would have been very hard, but this would have been the case for both sides, and I've a feeling it would have been worse for the Russians. Hopefully good use will be made of those cluster munitions to clear paths through mine fields and flush the Orcs out of their trenches. And if this Ukrainian offensive picks up momentum then it needs to be kept until the Orcs are completely eradicated in Ukraine, including Crimea.
    14
  3309. Never has there been a greater need for National Service. A year or two under the tender mercy of a good old-fashioned sergeant major is just what most of Gen Z badly need.
    14
  3310. Would you want a son like Harry? Charles should carry out a DNA test. If he is lucky he might find that Harry isn't even his son.
    14
  3311. What most people don't realise is that if you couple together several really GOOD accelerometers, digital maps and onboard computers then you can guide a missile accurately without using GPS. Such a guidance system is a lot more complicated and expensive, but it can be done. And if I more or less know how I'd go about building this you can be sure that Uncle Sam has already done so years ago.
    14
  3312. Maybe his mother might have had sympathy for such a whining wimp, but I'll bet Harry's father wishes he could disown him.
    14
  3313. It's nothing to do with how employable MPs are. It's simply a matter of which ones are in a position to further a company's interest through corruption. That's the sole reason they get these jobs.
    14
  3314. The Conservative Party no longer needs to worry about anything it does, because it's finished!
    14
  3315. Sounds a lot like the kind of restrictions seen in 1930s Germany, which "good Germans" supported.
    14
  3316. A little over 30 years ago I was walking down a street in Aswan with 2 lovely German girls. All of a sudden just after two men had passed by one of the girls, who was very sweet natured, turned around and swore at them. She was very upset. As they walked by one of them had pinched her on the backside. A lot of the young men being let in to the UK are exactly like this!
    14
  3317. FFS just do it! It isn't going to make the slightest difference to Trump's policy.
    14
  3318. If this were in Moscow or St. Petersburg I'd be cheering, but it's probably just an accident.
    14
  3319. There are indeed lots of aspects about the mass use of electric cars that have not been considered. Or more likely they have, but have not been presented to the public. However two things they would definitely do would vastly reduce both air and noise pollution. But then again so would people walking or cycling some of their excess weight off, or using public transport. Sadly, on the last of these, government has spent the last two years scaring people shitless about getting on a bus or train, and London's mayor is using masks to maintain the fear.
    14
  3320. The Rwanda scheme was by far one of the most expensive and hair-brained scheme this government has come up with. Australia showed us how to handle this many years ago. You use a remote island to detain these people on, where they have absolutely no hope of ever setting foot on the UK mainland. There are plenty of bleak Scottish islands that would fit the bill perfectly.
    14
  3321. I notice he didn't get to know the girls in Rochdale who had been abused, and their families.
    14
  3322. Hopefully it's going to list all the way to the sea floor.
    14
  3323. Every decent person in the world feels anger for what the Orcs have done to Ukraine.
    14
  3324. "Inflame anti-vaccine sentiment". What this really means is that people who have exercised their basic human right not to have medical treatment forced upon them, by Australia's tyrants, would have seen that it is possible to resist such coercion.
    14
  3325. Repeat after me. "I have complete trust in my government, and the vaccines were 100% safe". Now, don't you feel better.
    14
  3326. That's the idea.
    14
  3327. I've been singing "it's beginning to look like lockdown" to myself for quite a few weeks.
    14
  3328. One can hope, but something must have changed to cause this, and injecting people with mRNA is one of those things.
    14
  3329. What kind of sick lawyer tries to get people like this off? If it was their wife, mother, daughter or sister would they approve of the defence pleading cultural ignorance?
    14
  3330. I don't view Yousaf's life as cheap. I view it as worthless!
    14
  3331. For some of the nastiest and sickest crimes it really does seem that if you are of a certain ethnicity or religious persuasion then you automatically get a stack of "get out of jail" cards.
    14
  3332. Not true! Many of us find listing to Meghan and Harry whine really amusing.
    14
  3333. I hope the Orcs are still making the same kind of suicidal assaults that they previously made in Bakhmut.
    14
  3334. In today's world the idea of blasphemy is as ridiculous as getting upset at someone making a comment about Dumbledore.
    14
  3335. All wonderful stuff, but my favourites are the aircraft, because then a few Orcs also get wasted.
    14
  3336. What the Australian government has done is an act of pure vindictiveness and spite, which shows no respect for their own judiciary, which found in Novak's favour. What we have here are a bunch of vicious nasty little boys, throwing a childish tantrum because they didn't get their way. Any tennis player with a shred of integrity should now withdraw from the Australian Open.
    14
  3337. Let Russia supply that aid, as Pakistan has refused to condemn Putin!
    14
  3338. Towing boats back to the edge of French territorial waters, and detaining those that do land on remote, bleak Scottish islands would certainly deter. But I've seen decaying jellyfish with more spine than Sunak.
    14
  3339. Let's look at the facts that really matter: 1. If people didn't have the Delta variant then they would very likely have another variant. 2. No variant has been shown to be more deadly. 3. If you have previously had covid-19, and hence now have excellent natural immunity, or you have had both jabs, then you are extremely unlikely to catch any covid-19 variant. In such cases all a positive PCR test really shows is that you have a few virus particles that your immune system will soon destroy, or you have the left over fragments that your immune system has already destroyed: you almost certainly don't have covid-19. 4. Hospitalisations and deaths are remaining very low. Singapore has just decided to do what we all should have done ages ago: treat covid-19 like a seasonal flu. It's game over, and time everyone came out to play again. Of course, snowflakes are free to stay at home cowering behind the couch.
    14
  3340. When I clicked on this story I was hoping that it would be a few soldiers that had been stabbed.
    14
  3341. I hope the Ukrainians remember to show no mercy to those who are prepared to butcher others for money. The name Wagner is so appropriate, his music was very strongly associated with the Nazis!
    14
  3342. Liberation depends on the Iranian people having the courage to take full advantage of the massive service that Israel is now doing for them.
    14
  3343. Go back to 1930's Germany and I'm pretty sure that the police chief there would have insisted that all were treated equally. And talking about that period, what was that saying about repeating a lie often enough?
    14
  3344. This will remind many of the 22,000 Polish officers that the Russians murdered during WW II. It seems that 70 years on they are just as happy to commit the same atrocities.
    14
  3345. Free it from Hamas!
    14
  3346. Isabel, for both work shy people, and organisations who give bad service, covid-19 is the gift that just keeps on giving.
    14
  3347. Let me tell you a true story. After leaving university I joined the PNCU of the Home Office. The first few months were spent working on computer programming exercises. But in those days we had to get the programs punched onto cards, by punch machine operators, which massively slowed things down. So I used to come in a bit early or stay a bit late so that I could punch the cards myself. Sometimes I even used the hand punching machines. As a result I got through every exercise. This annoyed those responsible for training and I got a bad report. So I slacked off a lot. A few months later they told me that they had noticed a vast improvement!
    14
  3348. The tales my sister, who was a nurse, came home with, about the competence and work ethic of certain groups of immigrant nurses, would terrify anyone going into an NHS hospital.
    14
  3349. How many of these actually rowed all the way to our shores, and how many were picked up and transported to the, instead of being transported the other way?
    14
  3350. Much cheaper, and more effective, to use special ops to ERADICATE people smugglers!
    14
  3351. Going after our pipelines would be a direct act of war. Of course, Russia would deny responsibility, but two can play that game, and Russia has pipelines elsewhere that REALLY matter to it.
    14
  3352. We definitely need people with the right skill sets, such as qualified doctors and nurses, with a good work ethic. But most of those illegally entering the UK bring in nothing worthwhile.
    14
  3353. No, heartwarming.
    14
  3354. Would Mike rather they were housed where rents are a lot higher, so that even more taxpayer money was squandered? Of course, the ideal solution would be to house them cheaply in nissen huts, on some remote Scottish island. This would also act as a massive deterrent.
    13
  3355. Could there be anything more ridiculous than someone who hasn't even got a scraped CSE grade in maths suggesting economic policy? Why do we have a deputy PM who left school without even a single of the lowliest qualifications? I thought that we had hit a serious low with John Major, but next to Angela Rayner he looks like a Nobel laureate.
    13
  3356. Because those kids aren't Muslim?
    13
  3357. Long time no videos. I was wondering if YouTube had banned you. Once again they are hiding a comment I made an hour ago that simply asked whether there might be a "certain reason" for the much higher than average serious cases.
    13
  3358. If at all possible Ukraine must keep this up throughout the winter. It's now very clear that US congress wants to see its dollars being well spent, and so the Orcs mustn't be give respite like last winter.
    13
  3359.  Sean Hardman  All decent people hope the same thing.
    13
  3360. The defining thing about this measure will be the interminable amount of time taken to implement it. By the time it happens it may well not matter to Ukraine. I'm absolutely convinced that countries like France, and especially Germany, are dragging their heels as much as possible, so as not to seriously upset Psycho Putin. I very much doubt that either of these countries give a damn if Russia overruns the whole of Ukraine. In fact, they will probably breath a massive sigh of relief.
    13
  3361. On the plus side, they are only hurting each other.
    13
  3362. Like so many of us you are thinking of Germany, and the promises it made months ago that it hasn't honoured, and has no intention of honouring.
    13
  3363. This, among other reasons, is why we don't have to let Putin have one square meter of Ukraine, and that includes Crimea. His own people will soon take care of him, so Trump's actions, unless his reasons are very sinister, make no sense whatsoever.
    13
  3364. They were betrayed far more by their own people, who were (and still are) too cowardly to stand up and fight for their own freedom. Against a vastly stronger enemy almost every Ukrainian is prepared to fight for their country. What a contrast to craven Afghans who expect others to die for them!
    13
  3365. Little crying kid: He beat me up and stole my dinner money. Teacher Trump: It's your fault for not handing over the money immediately.
    13
  3366. The trouble is these cowardly bad guys always try to keep close to civilians.
    13
  3367. All decent countries and people are rooting for Ukraine, and more weapons are on the way. Keep up the good fight. The equipment and troop loses that Putin is sustaining are not sustainable. A long war, with loses continuing at the current rate, will definitely bring Putin and Russia to their knees, militarily and economically.
    13
  3368. They also do cheering too. Like when OAPs had their winter fuel allowance stopped.
    13
  3369. Even if Bakhmut has little strategic importance, if a Ukrainian presence here encourages the Orcs to launch suicidal attacks, that cost thousands of them their lives, then a good job is being done: as long as Ukrainians aren't prepared to waste their lives over it.
    13
  3370. This nonsense is no different than someone insisting that they are a Vampire, Werewolf, or Jedi Knight. Would you humour such ridiculous fantasies?
    13
  3371. Let's not forget our own government's response to anti-lockdown protests and how the BBC refused to report on these, although some of them were among the biggest protests ever staged.
    13
  3372. The prospect of the UK having a looney left government in a years time, and becoming a basket case, is very good reason to be concerned about giving this position to a Brit.
    13
  3373. Most of China's trade depends on the rest of the world. While they might welcome more trade with Russia I doubt the Chinese are mad enough to stop sitting on the fence and give Russia any serious help, because there's nothing in in for them, and a lot to loose.
    13
  3374. We don't even try to punish most criminals in this country anymore. Last night ITV news showed lots of shoplifters filmed in the very act. Am I the only one amazed and outraged that their faces were hidden? Why? These were, without a shadow of a doubt, criminals that people, for their own safety, need to know the identity of.
    13
  3375. Ne serait-ce pas triste si ce navire coulait mystérieusement ?
    13
  3376. Serves them right! Not only was Chernobyl no military threat, it was well known that the area near it is heavily contaminated. Most of those soldiers, who were too stupid to turn round and shoot their officers, will probably die sooner or later as a direct result of this.
    13
  3377. Hopefully that thousand miles won't save him from Mossad.
    13
  3378. As would almost all of the cabinet.
    13
  3379. Doing enough? The are doing bugger all! But the last government were no better.
    13
  3380. What an insane accusation. It reminds me of an insane headteacher I had when I taught at Villa Amalienhof in Berlin. On several reports I said how much I appreciated having certain kids in my class. The mad woman decided that this was an insult to the other kids.
    13
  3381. Just a casual glance at this river is enough to tell anyone with a modicum of intelligence that the chance of a sober person falling in and not being able to extricate themselves is very, very small. If this is the best that Lancashire police can come up with then their detectives must be very thick.
    13
  3382. So am I, and I already did so in the mayoral and local elections. So many are now saying this yet the Tories keep lying about such votes being wasted, and letting Labour in. Am I the only one who senses the panic and desperation in this lie?
    13
  3383. Notice how, in complete contrast to Hamas, Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties, even though most voted for Hamas and celebrated the deaths of Israeli civilians.
    13
  3384. While it doesn't affect me, I have the honesty and decency to admit that death duties are nothing more than robbery. This shameful theft piles more misery on those who are already mourning loved ones. Like the robber barons this vile and evil tax should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
    13
  3385. You'll have to post more than that to earn your daily banana quota.
    13
  3386. There are definitely lots more Labour MPs like this. It's just that so far they have managed to bite their lip, or not been caught.
    13
  3387. But here's the thing. Russia doesn't care about any amount of condemnation, it only understands retaliation. More of the same will follow if that retaliation doesn't come ASAP.
    13
  3388. Am I the only one wondering why this "inquiry" has never asked whether lockdowns were the correct policy, rather than just focusing on places like old peoples' homes, and individuals (less than 5%) who were at high risk?
    13
  3389. Damn, you beat me to a very similar comment.
    13
  3390. You are allowed film people in a public place, so why hide the faces of these criminals?
    13
  3391. There is absolutely no scientific basis to discriminating between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. These tests function in exactly the same way in everybody. This is nothing other than yet another attempt to coerce people into getting these rushed through and poorly tested vaccines. Once again: 1. If you are a younger person then the risk posed to you by covid-19 is negligible. Any ethical doctor would strongly advise you against vaccination. 2. If you have had covid-19 then you now have far better immunity than you would get from a vaccine, and it may well last a lifetime. Again, any ethical doctor would strongly advise you against vaccination. Two years ago you could have walked into any medical ethics lecture and heard unanimous agreement on what I have just written!
    13
  3392. The warning at the start is correct. Seeing an Orc escape is distressing.
    13
  3393. Maybe that's because Labour does the same sh*t everyday.
    13
  3394. Not just Boris, but the whole bloody cabinet needs to be replaced. There's not an honest, decent man or woman among them!
    13
  3395. It's really upsetting when you see an Orc escaping from a tank that's been hit.
    13
  3396. Does Putin really believe that anyone in the West takes the slightest notice of his rants and threats?
    13
  3397. Let's spell it out, for all the idiots to whom it isn't blindingly obvious. All these retarded governments that are enforcing lockdowns, can't offer convincing scientific justification for what they are doing: because there isn't any. So instead of appealing to the brain's higher rational reasoning they are going for people's primitive fear response. And as most people are much more easily swayed by their emotions, rather than being prepared to work things out dispassionately and logically, this is proving to be a very effective way of controlling them. This is why things have become so acrimonious. It's impossible to make a cringing coward, who is blabbering about how he/she is going to die, take a step back and analyse the facts.
    13
  3398. Nothing to do with being more whipped. What we have are totally self-serving MPs who want to curry favour with their bosses, so that they can better climb the greasy pole. They are not in the least concerned with the wishes of their constituents who elected them. But hasn't that always been the nature of most MPs, regardless of political persuasion.
    13
  3399. No, it's just all the brainless, gullible sheep that think he is using common sense.
    13
  3400. Or a hippo.
    13
  3401. Why would anyone want a reunion with a son like Harry?
    13
  3402. On this Trump is 100% right, and the British government needs to follow his example.
    13
  3403. Hopefully we will see many more Ukrainian flags being hoisted in the coming days and weeks, and eventually the Ukrainian flag flying once again in Crimea.
    13
  3404. Absolutely right. For many years now I have always refused to do any teaching on-line, despite having been offered some lucrative opportunities. I refuse because I have a conscience. I know, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that on-line "teaching" is vastly inferior to in-person teaching, and I am not prepared to CHEAT my students.
    13
  3405. Excellent picture quality!
    13
  3406. Sadly, I was hoping that Ukraine would use the opportunity of lots of drunk Orcs to double down on the 400 or so killed over the New Year.
    13
  3407. Pack some of those sea drones full of a well shaped explosive that is a lot more powerful than the TNT used so far. That should be able to take out some of the Kerch bridge's supports (easier to reach than what's higher up), which will put it out of action for good. Together with the bridges taken out yesterday this may well panic many of the Orcs into simply fleeing from Crimea.
    13
  3408. Didn't those of us who had the sense to vote Reform UK warn, time and time again, that this would happen if people were stupid enough to elect a Labour government.
    13
  3409. This is just a small minority. The majority are celebrating in private.
    13
  3410. What would really help would be an unequivocal statement from the Republican party that they too will stand with Ukraine, because Putin is betting heavily that they won't, and that they will win the next election.
    13
  3411. With the 400 ISIS fighters let back into this country one has to wonder how many such factories there are in the UK!
    13
  3412. ​ @MegAndJas  Good for you! One of the FACTS the government refuses to accept is that those who are immune don't need masks or social distancing. This is infringement of liberty with absolutely no valid reason.
    13
  3413. There's a very good and rational reason for not wanting to take in non Western refugees, and it has absolutely nothing to do with race. It's an attempt to keep out savages who are completely unwilling to accept the values of those who live in developed and civilized countries. Among other things, its about men who don't respect the rights of women. Who think that they are less important than livestock, and that the alpha male in the family has a right to tell the women what to wear and to totally control their lives. The Danes only have to look at some of the things that have happened, and continue to happen, in the UK and France. Any sensible Dane would want to do everything possible to make sure Denmark doesn't suffer similar incidents.
    13
  3414. Exactly! If they had the Home Office would have sacked them instantly.
    13
  3415. Times must be getting harder in Russia. Looks like the Russian MoD's fantasy film studio has suffered a very severe cut in funding.
    13
  3416. This has been true for years. But if you are an MP, or one of their close family, you can go privately and receive all the attention you need.
    13
  3417. The funny thing about all us far-right people is that we don't want revolution and to overthrow governments. We want things that are far, far worse. We want to feel safe in our homes and while walking the street. We want our children to be safe. And we want the customs and values of our country to be respected.
    13
  3418. How does that old saying go? "Good riddance to bad rubbish".
    13
  3419. That's because if you do something intensely stupid then you feel a lot better if you can make others do it too. As the old saying goes: misery loves company.
    13
  3420. I can just see Gavin Williamson outside the school gates, holding a needle behind his back. "Hello little girl, would you like some sweeties".
    13
  3421. In 5 years time 10 times this number will need removing!
    13
  3422. Most of us would go along with that.
    13
  3423. Standing with the Jewish community means not allowing people to march down our streets waving Palestinian flags and holding placards that say "I love Hamas"!
    13
  3424. Given any chance Ed Miliband will condemn this country to regular power outages like those we have just seen in Spain, and will make our current energy bills seem trifling.
    13
  3425. If we are honest then we have to admit that the ambition of most politicians vastly exceed their intelligence, and usually also their integrity. Just take a look at Sunak and his cabinet: and what's waiting in the wings to replace them after the next election.
    13
  3426. Absolutely agree, but the YouTube wokes will probably delete your comment: and mine.
    13
  3427. Don't waste good ammo. Get your practice by targeting any military craft that transgresses your airspace or territorial waters.
    13
  3428. It would be much more effective to cut ALL tax on energy and leave the rest of VAT alone. But doing that, as with tax cuts, wouldn't disproportionately reward the rich, which seems to be Truss's intention.
    13
  3429. In this Sodom and Gomorrah that the UK has become it's nice to know that there are still some people with integrity left. I only tutor privately these days, as schools don't want people like me. Maybe it's because I would have refused to "teach" online and insisted on keeping my classroom open, with no bloody masks or other restrictions. Sadly, most teachers aren't like me.
    13
  3430. Just a look at the building at 3:50 in this video shows how laughably pathetic Russia's claim is. The shells clearly landed in front of the building, which appears to have suffered no serious structural damage. All that seems to have happened is that windows were blown out, so did flying glass cut the jugulars of hundreds of soldiers?
    13
  3431. This was the very first thought, on hearing of this, that crossed the minds of a great many of us!
    13
  3432. I hope there were some Orcs guarding those mines.
    13
  3433. It' just like clearing rats out of barns and farm ditches. The big difference is that I've some sympathy for rats, and none for these Orcs.
    13
  3434. INNOCENT people went to jail because of this deliberate perversion of the course of justice. Hundreds more had their lives destroyed. An honest, decent legal system would make sure that all those responsible also serve long jail terms.
    13
  3435. Putin is harder to get to. So for the time being if someone could take out Lukashenko it would be great for moral, and a really good start.
    13
  3436. I wish it had broken before the Orcs could escape across it.
    13
  3437. It's always sad to see children hurt or killed. But we must not forget that most of these children's parents knew who was in Hamas, sheltered and hid them, and celebrated the murder of Israeli women and children.
    13
  3438. If Ukraine does indeed have drones that can reach Moscow then it needs to give Orc Central a really good taste of its own medicine.
    13
  3439. Sounds just like the UK, where our government houses illegals in luxury hotels that most decent, hardworking people can't afford to stay in. It was recently reported that about £45,000 per year is spent on each one, which is far more than most people earn!
    13
  3440. Yes. Perhaps, rather than whining about having a ceasefire the UN should be demanding that Hamas stop using children as human shields: which they seem to do a lot!
    13
  3441. I'm reminded of the comment in Game of Thrones that it wouldn't be a proper Dothraki wedding without a few killings. Seems like it wouldn't be a proper Notting Hill carnival without a few stabbings.
    13
  3442. Not as sick as YouTube removing comments asking for justice for the victims!

  3443. The logic is unquestioning obedience to authority.
    13
  3444. Despite being a house owner, I would like to see house prices plummet, so that young people have the same chance as I did to own their own home.
    13
  3445. It's absolutely appalling that Herr Macron steam-rolled through changes, that will affect the majority of French people, without allowing MPs to vote on them. This is NOT how a president who supports democracy behaves. As such these reforms should be repealed, and Herr Macron should step down from the presidency.
    13
  3446. If Hammer Horror were in its heyday Lavrov wouldn't even have to audition for the evil part. Both in appearance and character he's a natural.
    13
  3447. Like Germany went through a difficult period under Hitler.
    13
  3448. Well isn't it nice to know that public money, which could be far better spent, is being wasted on this. A nasty dishonest rat was caught (almost) with his pants down. Whoever brought this to light did us a great public service, and money should be squandered trying to find him/her.
    13
  3449. I live in North Enfield. 45 years ago if you crossed the A10 and threw a stone in any direction you would hit a factory producing goods. As a student I worked in several of them. They are all now gone, and I'm betting many other areas could tell the same tale.
    13
  3450. Maybe this will embolden Germany to stop hindering Poland and Finland from sending Leopard tanks to Ukraine. I'd like to believe that Germany might send some itself, but I stopped believing in Father Christmas when I was 5.
    13
  3451. Always a little sad when the tanks aren't moving as I like mine with a large side dish of roast Orc.
    13
  3452. How is it that after 2 and a half years there are still so many Putin rent boys?
    13
  3453. It will limit them far more if we make sure that Ukraine gets all the aid it needs: especially so that it can continue its fight throughout this winter.
    13
  3454. Is anyone really in the least surprised by this?
    13
  3455. It's like flushing rats out of a farmyard ditch.
    13
  3456. Espérons que l’Iran n’aura bientôt plus la capacité de lancer une attaque de quelque nature que ce soit.
    13
  3457. Great news that Ukraine has got drones that can reach Moscow. Time to give the Orcs a really good taste of their own medicine!
    13
  3458. The Ukrainian videos usually clearly show Russian vehicles being taken out, and maybe a few pigs running for their lives. But, as ALWAYS, Russian videos never show a convincing kill.
    13
  3459. Why should people who are prudent, and don't squander their money on holidays, flash cars, and nights out be punished? Many try to keep some money by for emergency treatment. The NHS can leave you crippled and in agony for years with a defective hip or knee. You need around £20,000 to get it treated privately! Need a root canal on a rear molar? The NHS won't do this. They will pull your tooth. Getting it done privately and then having a Zirconia crown will save that tooth. I've had two teeth saved this way, but you won't see much change from £1,500 for each tooth.
    13
  3460. Suella simply said what most of us KNOW to be true. With truthful politicians such a rarity we certainly shouldn't be sacking them when they tell the TRUTH.
    13
  3461. And supplying drones to Putin has also cost the lives of many innocent Ukrainian women and children. Iran is a country that the planet wouldn't miss!
    13
  3462. Charlie Mullins is a prime example of how you don't need much intelligence or education to make money. I won't even be surprised if he isn't a particularly good plumber. So, who cares what he thinks or says.
    13
  3463. I really can't understand why this hate cleric has survived so long without having a nasty "accident".
    13
  3464. So, let me get this right. Much smaller demos by Extinction Rebellion make prime time TV, but there's not even a whisper of this much larger demo. Am I the only one who is deeply disturbed at how any news that doesn't support the government's covid-19 policies gets vigorously suppressed?
    13
  3465. Think how many young men died, between 1939 and 1945, to defend our freedom, that TTK is now destroying.
    13
  3466. ​ @davidarchibald50  I really hope so, because it seems that they threw last year's spectacular counter offensive away.
    13
  3467. Not just Russian partisans: Russian patriots.
    13
  3468. In virtually every job it's accepted that tine and experience in it improves ones ability to perform it. So I view cabinet reshuffles with the utmost incredulity. As far as I can see they are completely about rewarding cronyism, rather than putting in place the person who can best serve the country.
    13
  3469. Silly me. There I was thinking cities had lots of buildings. Now, thanks to Russian videos, I know that cities are mainly grassland.
    13
  3470. But YouTube is even more dedicated to burying the truth!
    13
  3471. Is that the sewage in the Thames, or the sewage in Downing Street?
    13
  3472. You've got to wonder just how collectively dense Australians are. Australia has its own large Uranium supply and is also a tectonically very stable continent. So making good use of nuclear power is a no-brainer.
    13
  3473. Hopefully there will be much more of the same very soon.
    13
  3474. Isn't it strange how peaceful and safe the Isle of Man was when they birched yobs?
    13
  3475. And after the 3 months, in the extremely unlikely event that the Taliban keep their word, they will have 7000 more soldiers. Shoot those 7000 now. I'll happily pay the cost of the bullets.
    13
  3476. Despite owning a house, for the sake of young people I'd like to see a really massive crash in house prices.
    13
  3477. These days it seems that anyone who doesn't agree with TTK is "Far Right".
    13
  3478. Sadly the supreme courts in EU countries, and in the UK are now packed with corrupt judges. While honest decent US judges are striking down mandates ours are only worried about collecting their fat government pay cheques.
    13
  3479. Luckily, spring is here, so most of those unfriendly countries can have people turn off their central heating a month or so sooner, and then a lot of that the gas won't be needed. And the bed wetting Germans should have been working 24/7, for the last few weeks, on restarting their nuclear power stations, which they should never have shut down in the first place.
    13
  3480. The guy saying "it's a petty thing to get sacked over" is spot on. This was a cowardly pretext for getting rid of Suella. The contents of the email she sent was going to be made completely public within hours.
    13
  3481. Yes, a tax cut would be nice, but frankly there are lots of far more important things to fix: 1. A NHS that is barely fit for service, if even that. 2. A police force that is heavily biased in favour or certain minorities, and doesn't seem to give a damn about real crime. 3. A tsunami of illegal immigrants that are being welcomed with open arms, and housed in luxury hotels. Others an probably add quite a few other problems to this list.
    13
  3482. As the graphs we are shown nightly clearly indicate the fall in the number of hospitalisations (the slope of the total of those in hospital) is steep: they are falling sharply. With 15 million of the most vulnerable vaccinated (many for several weeks now) we would not expect the vast majority of new infections to translate into hospitalisations. What this means is that the R number, and number of infections really aren't that important anymore, as most of these infected people will shrug it off with less ado than a bad cold. The government's "cautious" approach out of lockdown is actually an exceedingly cowardly approach. This "caution" is still having an incredibly damaging effect on people's lives, education, and mental health. Picking up on the last two mentioned, yet another study has found that schools do not contribute significantly to the spread of this virus. To go with such reports we are now very regularly being told of the devastation being visited on young people's education and mental health. Yet, instead of opening schools after half term the government intends to dawdle for another couple of weeks. So much for "listening to the science". There is absolutely no justification for this delay. Schools should open immediately, and GCSE and A-level exams should be immediately reinstated. Lockdown is very, very bad. It is something any decent and honest government would strive to end as quickly as possible.
    13
  3483. Two tier sentencing. Justice doesn't come into it!
    13
  3484. It would have been vastly easier to bring down the jet carrying Putin to or from Iran, so this story seems unlikely.
    13
  3485. Yes there are decent people out there, but you would be horrified at just how many frightened selfish cowards there are in the UK who would forcibly vaccinate every single kid if the could.
    13
  3486. What a victory for Putin. He took out Ukraine's deadly secret weapon: Thomas the Tank Engine.
    13
  3487. Am I the only one that thinks Igor Konashenkov would look very, very convincing in an SS uniform, speaking German? I've a feeling he's going to be announcing a lot more "regrouping" in the coming days and weeks.
    13
  3488. This sounds like something from Stalin's era. I gather that in those days the murder of returned Russian POWs was the norm. What truly amazes me is that their own soldiers don't turn on these officers and then surrender to Ukraine forces. What kind of rabid CO shoots his own wounded men?
    13
  3489. Boris has been a liar all his life. Have people forgotten that report from his Eton teacher, who said he has a problem telling the truth?
    13
  3490. It's bloody obvious to anyone who isn't an imbecile that recruitment into the armed forces should be determined by ones ability to fight and support ones comrades. Anything else is a recipe for disaster. The only exception should be when highly skilled engineers and doctors, or the like, are needed who won't be expected to serve on the front line. AND, what most people don't realise is that even most strong, fit recruits need a lot of training to build up their strength and fitness to the level needed for combat.
    13
  3491. Seeing children suffer is always heartbreaking. But my anger is directed against the cowards that hide behind them.
    13
  3492. To the WHO it means ignoring the report in 2017, on Moderna's research into mRNA treatments clearly stating that there were unavoidable NASTY side effects. Our government would also have been well aware of reports like this.
    13
  3493. YouTube removing comments that criticise the government's handling of this LAW BREAKING!
    13
  3494. Ukraine should have had permission to do this from the start, but Biden is a very frightened old man.
    13
  3495. There is never a shortage of people who think that when they get a job done on the cheap they are being really clever. We see it all the time with things like plumbers, electricians and private tutoring. It always ends in tears, but I guess when you use a cowboy surgeon you may not be around to cry!
    13
  3496.  @Almostyours  Yeah, right, Hamas boy.
    13
  3497. It was effectively many years of ceasefire with Hamas that allowed them to build their vast network under Gaza, with the full knowledge and support of Palestinians living there, and to commit the atrocities of 7th Oct. And Hamas have vowed to repeat such atrocities again and again. letting Hamas exist is simply not an option!
    13
  3498. Xi really is like that extremely spoilt child throwing a tantrum, because he didn't get his own way. Like a naughty child he has noticed that the grown-ups aren't taking his strop seriously, so he has decided to continue it.
    13
  3499. Kids are afraid of the Boogeyman, but for many adult voters Diane Abbott fills that role admirably. Starmer knows full well that having her on board will frighten a lot of voters away.
    13
  3500. We will probably hear that he choked on a chicken bone: a whole chicken leg bone that the FSB forced down his throat.
    13
  3501. So, let me get this right. A one of few hurty words in the heat of the moment get you 30 months in jail, but repeated messages to a child is far less serious?
    13
  3502. Expect lots more of this. For Parkinson's Putin this is the equivalent of a drowning man desperately clutching at straws. He promised Russians a spectacular victory parade on 9th May. With less than 2 weeks to go it's now clear even to him that his parade is going to be heavily rained on, with him suffering severe and very public humiliation. This will greatly increase his chances of being "removed" from power.
    13
  3503. I grew up in Enfield when you had to make an effort to spot a non English person. Now it's the other way around, and you are more likely to hear a foreign language being spoken than English. Just stating the facts.
    13
  3504. ​ @alundavies1016  You DON'T leave a child with a parent that abuses them in such a horrific manner. And you also remove any other children they might have.
    13
  3505. Call me a right wing bastard, but I take exception to people being paid to sit on their arse and do nothing. And, by the way, this is about 3 times what OAPs who have worked all their lives, and paid taxes, get!
    13
  3506. Prigozhin definitely should accept cups of tea from strangers.
    13
  3507. Like the crying bully threatening what his big brother is going to do. Only there is no big brother.
    13
  3508. Well said Dr. Campbell. Even at 64, I've been going with natural immunity from the start, when I strongly suspected that I had had covid-19 very early on. I'm a fit happy bunny, without having to worry about any long term side effects of having mRNA injected into me. Of course another (big) part of the reason natural immunity isn't being recognised is that this would support the advice given by the REAL experts right at the start, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. Namely, that there should never have been any lockdowns, and that just the most vulnerable should have been isolated until natural herd immunity developed. Good luck getting Downing Street to admit that this advice was spot on.
    13
  3509. No decent, honest person will be surprised by this.
    13
  3510. Speak against Putin and you win one of three fabulous "once in a lifetime" prizes. 1. An all expenses paid holiday in a secure Siberian holiday resort. 2. One of Putin's special recipe cups of tea. 3. Free flying lessons from an upstairs window of your choice.
    13
  3511. What would be far more surprising would be if the MINORITY DUP stopped being bigots.
    13
  3512. If there are concerns about extremism then surely the Muslim Council should be added to the list of banned organisations, in exactly the same way that some genuinely far-right organisations have.
    13
  3513. Parents might like to know that it's also come out that Hancock did everything he possibly could to try and keep their kids out of school.
    13
  3514. Did anyone seriously expect gas supplies to be continued: especially as winter approaches? Europe has had 6 months to prepare for this highly likely eventuality.
    13
  3515. Uncharacteristically, most of us Brits will be wildly cheering Macron if he does this. Our gutless PM needs to do the same. It might just turn his election prospects around!
    13
  3516. Perhaps you haven't yet got the message. In the UK fundamentalist Jew bashing Muslims have greater rights than everyone else.
    13
  3517. In one word: Putin.
    13
  3518. I will judge Liz Truss on what she does, rather than her personality.
    13
  3519. Let me see. The first lockdowns didn't work, so the answer was second ones. These didn't work either so many countries have had third ones. Which also haven't worked, so.... Many years one could be entertained by visiting the local lunatic asylum. There one could laugh at the spectacle of the inmates banging their heads against the walls. It hurt them, and did them no good whatsoever, but they kept on doing it. Well, those inmates have now been released, and are running most countries.
    13
  3520. This is heartwarming to see, and it's great if Ukraine has broken through the minefields. BUT Russia was only able to put all those defenses in place because Ukraine paused its previous counteroffensive last winter. People like me warned them this would happen. Let's hope Ukraine doesn't make the same mistake twice.
    13
  3521. Détruisez le pont de Kertch MAINTENANT, et il est peu probable que Poutine survive à une humiliation encore plus grande.
    13
  3522. How many bananas do you get for posts like this?
    13
  3523. Our Civil Service would be a complete joke if it weren't for the fact that it's paid for with the sweat and blood of those who actually do some work.
    13
  3524. Wait until Trump and Putin turn up together, and ask for a room with a double bed!
    13
  3525. The lessons are very simple: 1. You don't go all Chicken Little and have lockdowns for a virus that only poses a serious threat to well under 1% of the population. 2. You don't give most people a rushed through and poorly tested vaccine when most of them will get a virus that's no worse for them than a mild cold, and then develop natural immunity that is vastly better and longer lasting than what your vaccine can deliver.
    13
  3526. Pretty bad is a bit of an understatement. Serving government MPs meddling in another state's election is very serious. I expect that there will be deep resentment even from Harris supporters. The damage done should Trump win doesn't bear thinking about: he's not renowned for his forgiving nature.
    13
  3527. Grant Shapps is first and foremost a brown noser, who excels at saying exactly what his bosses want him to say. I wouldn't trust him to run a bath, let alone our armed forces!
    13
  3528. Does Russia actually have the military equipment it is promising Iran, or is it a case of jam tomorrow?
    13
  3529. Because of the values that NATO countries are supposed to hold dear, every member should strongly support the membership of Finland and Sweden. That Turkey has indicated it won't is despicable and disgraceful. Frankly, given the choice between having Finland and Sweden as NATO members, or Turkey, I think most of us would choose the first two.
    13
  3530. A lot of UK foreign aid programs also urgently need reviewing!
    13
  3531. Justice, not revenge. And considering what he did he got off lightly.
    13
  3532. So true. If Putin invaded Canada he really could claim he was liberating it.
    13
  3533. So we get to choose between socialist Tories and looney lefty Labour. New alternative party, anyone?
    13
  3534. The best training they can give them is how to run fast!
    13
  3535. Very much a case of "good riddance to bad rubbish". If this woman had had a shred of integrity she would have prioritised REAL crime, rather than letting her officers act as Hancock's Gestapo: interfering with peaceful marches, and persecuting people for sitting on park benches. If she had done this then Sarah Everard would definitely still be alive. And as for the way she handled the vigil, that was unspeakably disgusting.
    13
  3536. Should have said they were Muslim hate preachers.
    13
  3537. But don't forget that nowadays in Britain if you belong to certain ethnic groups, or hold certain religious beliefs, then you are above the law that applies to the rest of us.
    13
  3538. That's why I call him Emperor Xi. He is just like Hitler and Putin.
    13
  3539. If Europe wants peace in the future then it needs to give Ukraine as much help as it can now.
    13
  3540. Remember, to make Orc palatable it has to be well roasted.
    13
  3541. Nice, but a few flagships, full of Orcs, would be even better.
    13
  3542. Probably true, but it's also the case that Sunak is a very weak man, and not particularly bright.
    13
  3543. This relationship has always been like one between two drug cartels, each ready to decimate the other as soon as the circumstances for doing so look beneficial.
    13
  3544. I wouldn't call a psychopath who murders civilians, and kidnaps their children, a man.
    13
  3545. Perhaps Spain should first recognise that Gibraltar doesn't want to be part of it, and that Catalonia wants independence from it!
    13
  3546. Africa's population is even bigger than before the pandemic!
    13
  3547. What an incredibly brave man. I'll be very surprised if an "accident" doesn't happen to him, his shop, or both. As for those Russians who don't want to know the truth, or refuse to accept it, they are no different than the Germans who turned over their Jewish neighbours to the Gestapo.
    13
  3548. The CIA or MI6 need to take advantage of Emperor Xi being out of China.
    13
  3549. It's always nice when one finds that there are still some honest judges, willing to strike down illegal laws by despotic governments. Despots in all countries should bear in mind that they won't be in government forever, and will eventually loose their police protection. There are a hell of a lot of people out there who they have really hurt, and these people will never forget, or forgive, what has been done to them, and who did it.
    13
  3550.  @key7817  If they were human they would have used the Ukrainian 24/7 surrender hotline!
    12
  3551. Despite scenes like this, and reliable reports that nearly one million Russian soldiers have either been killed or suffered life-changing injuries, there are still people who think that Putin should be allowed to keep some of the territory he stole.
    12
  3552. I guess we can now expect Erdogan to get up to various forms of foul play.
    12
  3553. An anniversary for the Monkey King.
    12
  3554. I like the bit about Trudeau's support being half that of the convoy. If you believe mainstream media then that would put his support in single percentage figures.
    12
  3555. Unfortunately, all too often politicians decide that some policy is a good idea, and ignore all evidence that clearly shows it isn't. If certain drugs were not illegal their price would plummet. Am I the only one wondering whether it would then be worth producing or pushing them?
    12
  3556. Am I just prejudiced or is it that the images supplied by Russia always seem a lot less convincing than the ones that Ukraine supplies to support its strikes?
    12
  3557. Somehow I can't see many people feeling sorry for the bum groper.
    12
  3558. Starmer should sack himself! Perhaps if he had not given the government his wholehearted support for their insane lockdowns, which crucified the working-class, people might have believed that Labour gave a damn about them.
    12
  3559. The cornerstone of our justice system used to be that all people are equal before the law, and that ignorance of the law it was no defence. Any judge, worthy of his/her position will do what's right and very publicly refute these execrable new guidelines.
    12
  3560. There is STILL a very strong reluctance to prosecute those of certain ethnicities and religious persuasions!
    12
  3561. We are seeing the pathetic death throes of a defeated psychopath who can see the wolves rapidly closing in and is making a futile effort to scare them off. Unless he decamps to North Korea or China he will soon be torn to pieces.
    12
  3562. Sadly, Daniel is spot on. Sweden was an incredibly safe and very low crime country until the immigrants poured in. When I lived for a while in Ireland, over 30 years ago, it was also a very safe country, and though many didn't have that much the Irish were, on the whole, a happy people. Once again the immigrants destroyed this. Others could add more countries to this tragic list. It's not immigrants per se. Some, like Indian doctors and dentists contribute a lot to this country, but so many simply shouldn't be here.
    12
  3563. ​ @MusicShortsGlobal  And what makes it so much harder is that most of these people are not genuine refugees. The way Europe opened its arms to GENUINE refugees from Ukraine, shows how compassionate European countries are when there is REAL need.
    12
  3564. A major Russian dam would be far better payback, and discourage similar attacks.
    12
  3565. Unless Jenkyns has one of the relatively few honest and decent backbenchers in mind, who probably don't want the job, she is dreaming. There's not a single cabinet minister that is intelligent and trustworthy enough to be prime minister!
    12
  3566. I hope Zelensky realises that "now" means this winter, and that it's essential that it doesn't pause its offensive during it: and steps it up if possible.
    12
  3567. This, and Crimea are going back to their rightful owner. Get used to it.
    12
  3568.  @wp912  Not as overrated as the Koran.
    12
  3569. It's most people's fault. We all expect to have comfortable and well remunerated jobs. But we don't give a damn about other people's working conditions as long as prices and taxes are kept down. So we have a shortage of HGV drivers, nurses, care workers and STEM teachers. Other occupations could be added to this. Exploiting other people isn't clever, it's short sighted and stupid, and eventually comes back to bite you!
    12
  3570. A glorious bonfire!
    12
  3571. Your thinking of that old film called "The Blob".
    12
  3572. It is a FACT that energy companies are profiteering from our misery.
    12
  3573. You've been reading the Hindustan times, haven't you.
    12
  3574. ​ @nni9310  I was thinking of certain nice Italian families, who are very good at halting the aging process: for a price.
    12
  3575. Me too, but people didn't want to listen.
    12
  3576. You know what would really taunt Putin? Blowing up a skyscraper in Moscow. If the IRA were able to demolish the NatWest Tower with far less resources then surely Ukraine can achieve similar, or more, in Moscow.
    12
  3577.  @Nick7901962  Why do YOU guys think you have the right to screw up people's jobs and businesses, and bugger the hell out of kids' education and mental health? This is a virus with an IFR of less than 0.3%. people like you are selfish cowards!
    12
  3578. I'm thinking sales of pagers might take a sudden downturn.
    12
  3579. I bet those who made heat of the moment tweets, that they didn't really mean, won't be released early.
    12
  3580. More likely he is seriously wounded or dead. There's no way Russia would admit that their top general has been taken out.
    12
  3581. FFS, don't just shoot down the drones, level the base they were launched from!
    12
  3582. When an organisation is hell to work in you have to ask very serious questions about the quality of those who don't get out! I'm so glad the two operations that I've had in my life were both carried out privately.
    12
  3583. Shitting himself even more than usual.
    12
  3584. If Zelensky is even a half-decent leader we will wake up tomorrow morning to news of several significant strikes having been made. Ukraine must already have had a prioritised list of targets for long-range missiles for some time now.
    12
  3585. Can we stop the lies and nonsense about wanting lower taxes. Yes, they would be nice, but most people have a list of several much more important issues that they care far more about than this, and that neither Labour nor the Conservatives can be trusted to resolve.
    12
  3586. There's a far easier way to benefit kids mental health WITHOUT giving them a rushed through vaccine they don't need. Just get rid of all the restrictions and testing in schools, and stop unnecessarily excluding kids. This virus has never been a big deal for kids or most of their teachers.
    12
  3587. FFS, if Randy Andy isn't paying his bills send the bailiffs in. Many of them would be happy to do this particular job pro bono.
    12
  3588. A very unwise exemption. To paraphrase an old saying: "give a Muslim an inch and he'll take a mile"! I've lived in Italy and didn't find any rules or customs particularly onerous. In fact, Italians often made an extra effort to help me. If these people don't like the way things are done in Italy the should bugger off to a country that suits them better. For someone who can read Dante in the vernacular his poetry represents one of the greatest achievements of that art form. Only a complete savage and barbarian would want to avoid such an experience.
    12
  3589. Rachel Reeves economic plan sounds rather like telling a patient with acute appendicitis that he will be operated on in a few months time.
    12
  3590. This puts Britain to shame. We have a pathetic rail service, that royally rips people off. If we are ever to tempt people out of their cars then we need really good public transport, at a reasonable price.
    12
  3591. If I was a parent I wouldn't allow my kids to waste their time on such vacuous rubbish as Love Island or Big Brother.
    12
  3592. They can take heart in the knowledge that Putin probably hasn't provided most of his meat with proper winter clothing.
    12
  3593. Moldova is now firmly in Putin's sights, and he won't waste any time if he is allowed a victory in Ukraine.
    12
  3594. When people have had two jabs they are considered immune. "Listening to the science" means we should treat ALL immune people the same. So this should also apply to naturally immune people too. There is zero evidence to suggest that natural immunity is less effective. Indeed there may even be evidence that it is better! Anyone who can provide evidence that they have tested positive for antibodies, OR (using recently available tests) that they have memory B or T cells, should be accorded the same rights. There is no valid reason to deny them parity.
    12
  3595. Bien joué cet homme!
    12
  3596. Until a strong deterrent like the the Rwanda policy is actually implemented we might as well paint "Dingy Boys Welcome" across the White Cliffs of Dover. Of course, in the meantime, moving all detention centres to some remote, cold, windswept Scottish island would help a lot.
    12
  3597. LMAO. As predictable as a sunrise, and Kiwis took the bait, hook line and sinker. Of course the lockdown was extended, and I'd bet good money on it being extended again. This virus is here forever, but for over 99% it is no big deal. Time to put on your big boy pants and suck it up.
    12
  3598. They should all have been completely opened up today. And, in fact, they should never have been shut at all: neither should universities.
    12
  3599. There's an old saying: "justice delayed is justice denied".
    12
  3600. It's not a matter of "rather lose". Rich Boy Sunak KNOWS he is going to lose. And, talking of trust, would you trust someone who CHEATED millions of poor OAPs out of the triple lock pension rise, which is there to prevent the erosion of their already meagre pension.
    12
  3601. It's the old "he head-butted my fist with his face" story.
    12
  3602. Wouldn't it be nice to replace Khan with an honest Jewish mayor.
    12
  3603. We are now not far off having 14 million of the most vulnerable vaccinated. So even if infections rise this will not translate into many hospitalisations. Almost all of those now infected will shrug off covid-19 with less effort than a bad cold. Lockdown is still costing jobs, education, and so many people's mental health. This pathetic excuse for a man and a PM needs to put his big boy pants on and end all these fascist restrictions NOW!
    12
  3604. I see that the asylums now give their inmates internet access.🤣🤣🤣
    12
  3605. So true. Voting Labour would be like swapping the guy who is pulling out your fingernails for one who will chop off your fingers.
    12
  3606. It's so that the LGBT brigade don't get drunk, lose their self control, and end up in the big house for outraging public decency.
    12
  3607. Well so far, here in Enfield, it's been a fairly pleasant day.
    12
  3608. Great shot! I hope there were a couple of Orcs in it.
    12
  3609. I made a similar comment 3 hours ago, but it looks like dishonest YouTube is hiding it from others.
    12
  3610. Calling it "full war" instead of a "special military operation" won't change the outcome in the least.
    12
  3611. Imaginez combien ils recevraient si cette prison invitait aux dons de conserves de poisson.
    12
  3612. More amazing that people believe most Palestinians didn't know about them.
    12
  3613. Then another rabid dog will be put down.
    12
  3614. You have to be prepared to fight to maintain your freedoms, and you have to fight even harder to get them back. Truckers are also fighting for all those spineless complaining Canadians who gave away their freedoms, and don't have enough backbone to fight to take them back!
    12
  3615. They certainly brighten up my mornings.
    12
  3616. Yep, I never get tired of watching Orcs get roasted.
    12
  3617. There are people in the UK dying for want of access to certain expensive drugs, that this money would be better spent on: among many other things.
    12
  3618. Yep, all the Nazis who joined the police, because they enjoy oppressing others, are coming out of the closet. And what a lot of closets there are. In gratitude for what they have done the Australian government should spend the taxes of those they are oppressing on buying them each a nice shiny pair of Jack boots.
    12
  3619. About a century ago one could visit the local asylum and be entertained by the antics of the inmates. Now we can derive similar amusement by listening to Putin ranting.
    12
  3620. The crap lawyers come out with never ceases to amaze. "He might have exaggerated" Seriously? He might also have understated.
    12
  3621. However, most parents don't want to know what they have done to their children.
    12
  3622. On the Underground, the technology to get rid of all the drivers has been available for 30 to 40 years!
    12
  3623. Well done. More people need to take a stand against being forced to take poorly tested vaccines that the majority really do not need.
    12
  3624. If Omicron infections are slowing down then that's a real shame. This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers by far the best chance of giving people PROPER and LASTING immunity. It's time to start having "catch Omicron" parties to help this variant spread, and bring an end to this pandemic. If I had Omicron I would spend all day riding the tube without a mask, and consider it as doing a great public service.
    12
  3625. It's amazing that in the 21st century so many people still believe ANY of these religious superstitions. It's no different than believing you are a Jedi knight.
    12
  3626. Dr. John you have now, yet again clearly shown that covid-19 appears to be no worse than what we get in a bad flu year. Also, even nearly 6 months on the death rate per million in Brazil, Sweden and the USA is still lower than that of the UK, despite all the snowflakes wagging their fingers at these countries: and often making up grossly inflated figures to support their condemnation. We don't shut everything down in a bad flu year or sacrifice the education, mental health and futures of our young people: I'm 62 by the way. It really is way past time that the only measure to be kept should be isolating the (genuinely) vulnerable. All the rest of the headless chicken panicking really does need to stop now.
    12
  3627. Does nobody have a serious problem with what was done to this little boy? Have Australians really stooped so low as to tolerate 3 year old kids being separated from their parents? Australians should be deeply ashamed about allowing this to continue for 8 weeks! It's way past time to have a damn good lynching of some of these politicians.
    12
  3628. Hamas, several other organisations, and Iran would all like to finish doing what Hitler tried unsuccessfully to do. While any of these exist Israel will always be threatened. If Hamas isn't "wiped off the face of the earth" then it will definitely commit further atrocities. It will only ever be a question of when, not if.
    12
  3629. It's a special operation to keep the soldiers warm.
    12
  3630. Intelligence agencies suggest that Putin's Orcs want a rest, so lets give them a permanent RIP one!
    12
  3631. Like the term "Dutch Auction". I predict the the expression "Russian Referendum" will enter common parlance to mean a "referendum" where armed troops go door to door, forcing people to vote, while they carefully watch which box they tick.
    12
  3632. Humanitarian organisations need not be concerned as these munitions will only be used against Orcs.
    12
  3633. That would be the 23 DEATHS reported in Norway, though I think the number may now be higher. Well, Australia may want more info, but I get the feeling that the scum in Downing Street just want to suppress this news: no mention of it on the 6pm or 10pm BBC news. Am I the only one that remembers us being told that humans can't catch mad cow disease, or that there was no risk from salmonella in eggs? Just how dumb to you have to be to trust this government?
    12
  3634. This pause is a massive mistake that Hamas will take great advantage of, and that Israel will deeply regret. An equally massive mistake was not insisting on ALL hostages being released in one go, because this will increase pressure from the remaining families to repeat this again and again. As every government knows, by negotiating over hostages one ultimately puts all of ones citizens at risk. The hardhearted approach of not negotiating at all is actually the kindest thing to do in the longer term.
    12
  3635. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this A-level fiasco. By about mid May it was WELL KNOWN that the risks to young people posed by covid-19 were NEGLIGIBLE. The exam papers were already written and it would have been INCREDIBLY EASY to reschedule A-level exams for July. Although schooling had been missed, this would have been by far the fairest thing to do: in fact the only decent thing to do. But contrary to their professed sorrow for what has happen the truth is that the only thing this government is sorry about is how it will hit them in the ballot box in the future. Please don't blame Ofqual. They were set an impossible task, so the blame lies entirely with Boris Johnson and his rich boy cabinet clowns. Let's be very clear these stupid, lazy, lying, toe-rags in Downing Street don't give a damn about students. They also don't give a damn about all the people who have lost their businesses, jobs and futures, thanks to their headless chicken lockdowns and quarantines. Let's state the facts, rather than the lies they keep repeating. 1. Unless you are very old or very sick then your chance of dying from covid-19 is negligible. The odd exception you hear about is just like a tobacco giant finding the very rare 100 year old chain smoker and using this to claim that smoking is good for your health. The devastation wreaked on our economy has been for the sole purpose of trying to prolong the lives of between 1 or 2 people out of every 1000, who would have died soon anyway. 2. If you do catch and recover from covid-19 you WILL have immunity from it. There is NO ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that proves otherwise, and 100+ years of immunology tells us that this is EXTREMELY likely to be the case. This government wants to scare people shitless so that they will obey it's unacceptable infringements on our freedoms. Please don't believe their LIES. Here's my parody of Boris Johnson, to help fight the lies and cheer people up a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJOlGdAFzA0&t=3s
    12
  3636. NOBODY who helped implement the incredibly damaging and totally unnecessary lockdowns should ever be forgiven for this!
    12
  3637. It's hard to see just 14 tanks being a game changer. Of course, if Germany wasn't blocking Poland and Finland sending Leopard tanks then Ukraine might be getting a whole lot more. Also, Ukraine needs, and deserves, the kind of weapons that can take out the bases in Russia, from which attacks against civilians are being carried out with impunity. And the Kerch bridge is in need of some more attention.
    12
  3638. It's next to impossible to prevent small dust particles getting into the air, and your lungs, when you pour them. Most people will have noticed getting a slightly sweet taste when they pour icing, or even granulated sugar. But at least that won't harm you.
    12
  3639. These marchers would have been completely at home at Hitler's Nuremberg rallies!
    12
  3640. You don't get extra bananas from Putin for posting the same rubbish multiple times.
    12
  3641. It's hard to understand how the Australian government and police can allow pro-Hamas demonstrators to desecrate this day that honours those brave Australians and Kiwis who gave their lives.
    12
  3642. This attack on innocent young people at a music event is indeed an atrocity, and Putin would dearly love to blame it on Ukraine. He must be really furious that ISIS claimed responsibility so quickly and so publicly. Of course, Putin is probably reasonably happy in the knowledge that most of those people who died were probably opposed to him.
    12
  3643.  @margaretrutherford5548  Yeah, well Putin fan girls seem to miss a lot when it doesn't paint their heartthrob in a good light. Do you lot put his picture on the floor and dance around it?
    12
  3644.  @vodkaboy  The chimps are the ones who do whatever the government says.
    12
  3645. Britain doesn't want him back!
    12
  3646. "China’s authoritarianism". The biblical phrase "remove the mote from your own eye" comes to mind.
    12
  3647. When I was growing up we were given to understand that everybody was equal before the law, and that claiming ignorance of it was never a defence for wrongdoing. Ah, but then Britain was still a powerful and respected country. If we have any honest, decent judges left then they need to very publicly repudiate these new guidelines!
    12
  3648. This is emphatically NOT a fact check, and incredibly misleading and dishonest. The Kentucky study was very small, and has been HEAVILY criticised, even by those who conducted it. There have been much bigger and highly regarded studies, such as the Cleveland and Israeli ones. ALL the bigger and highly regarded studies have shown that natural immunity is both much better and longer lasting (possibly a lifetime). I should also add, with regard to "hybrid immunity", the the Israeli study, involving 2.5 million concluded that "there is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those who have been previously infected".
    12
  3649. What part of Trump being a mega Putin fanboy don't most people get?
    12
  3650. It is EXTREMELY LIKELY that not a single person in ICU has been put there by the Omicron variant.
    12
  3651. When I was a top flight software developer on a couple of occasions I had to go to the boss and say: "I took the wrong approach. It's not worth trying to save what's been done, and would be far better to cut our losses, throw it all out, and start again". It was the right thing to do. But then, unlike Sunak, I wasn't thick, inadequate, and insecure.
    12
  3652. He's definitely leaving the Oval Office. The only question is whether it's in December, or now and for the good of the party and America.
    12
  3653. This is one reason why burying cables, rather than using pylons is a good idea. It initially costs more, but you almost never need to do repairs.
    12
  3654. Along with the WHO, which championed poorly tested vaccines when the vast majority didn't need them.
    12
  3655. Nowhere near long enough, and she will be out in half that time or less. This is only the first such prosecution of a vile crime that has been going on for decades, since it was outlawed, so this one prosecution isn't going to be a deterrent.
    12
  3656. When one sees scenes like this one realises just how sick and deranged those who support Putin are.
    12
  3657. It's the new long range weapons that are making a difference, so let's make absolutely sure that Ukraine gets enough of them.
    12
  3658. This video is like watching the Gestapo checking people's papers.
    12
  3659. So, when are we going to see White Out nights?
    12
  3660. Blessed are they who expect not, from a coward, for they will not be disappointed.
    12
  3661. Keep up the good work. Apparently while Putin can send plenty more Orcs to the front line, most have very little training, so hopefully this will give those brave Ukrainian soldiers a good edge in ridding their county of filthy vermin.
    12
  3662. We're talking about Ukraine here, not Russia.
    12
  3663. My hope for the first 2 months is that the Ukrainians will make it impossible for the Orcs to dig in well, and that a very cold winter will freeze 10s of 1000s of them to death.
    12
  3664. The stage was set years ago for what is happening now. Putin was allowed to invade Crimea and poison numerous opponents who were living outside Russia. This sent him the very clear message that he could do whatever he liked with impunity. The likes of the CIA or MI6 should have "dealt" discretely with Putin years ago, when there was still a good chance of being able to do so. It would definitely have been that proverbial stich in time.
    12
  3665. Decades of incompetence that's still continuing. 65% of French energy is generated by nuclear power, that doesn't emit any greenhouse gases. In fact they have enough spare to sell us some! Why the hell aren't we in the same situation?
    12
  3666. Yeah, right. And the moon is made of Emmental cheese.
    12
  3667. Could it be that those who fight for what is just and right are a lot more motivated than the servants of evil?
    12
  3668. ​ @redghost6386  Spot on. Next door to me there is woman in her 50s who most of us are fairly sure has never done a full days work in her entire life.
    12
  3669. So many of us are saying the same thing. In fact if I was running the CIA Ergdogan would have had a fatal "accident" a while back!
    12
  3670. Sounds a very reasonable supposition. The NHS is a massive, and ever growing burden, on the taxpayer. The government's life would be much easier if they were not responsible for it. I bet they really wish that they could do the same with state education and pensions.
    12
  3671. So, let me get this right. The EU is persecuting Poland for its coal mine, but Germany gets to open a new one, instead of simply buying the coal it needs from Poland, which is just next door. The more I see the insane antics of Brussels, the happier I am that Britain left the EU, despite the fact that I voted to remain.
    12
  3672. While it doesn't affect me, and never has, I have the decency to realise what a vile and evil tax this is. It's full on mugging by the state. People pay taxes on their income and almost everything they buy. Is it really right to add to the grief of them mourning a beloved parent by stealing what that parent made sacrifices for to pass on to them? This tax, like slavery, should have been ended a long time ago. Those who support it only do so out of spite and envy.
    12
  3673. The risk posed to young people by this virus is negligible, and therefore vaccinating them goes completely against medical ethics. In fact, those who contract and (invariably) recover from covid-19 may well have far better immunity than if they are vaccinated. This might be especially true in regard to future variants and similar viruses. So, regardless of any risks posed by vaccines, vaccinating young people could well be harming them in the long term.
    12
  3674. Does anyone really give a toss what happens to Harry and Megan?
    12
  3675. Starmer for PM? I'd trust Screaming Lord Sutch, and the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, to do a better job!
    12
  3676. This is just like videos I've seen of farmyard vermin being taken out at night with an air rifle. Of course it's possible to feel a little sympathy for the rats, whereas these Orcs fully deserve what they get.
    12
  3677. So true. If there are two things Sunak really excels at it's being spineless and incompetent.
    12
  3678. If those in government had half a brain between them they would be offering £10 to inform on someone who was carrying a knife.
    12
  3679. Death penalty, anyone?
    12
  3680. The biggest reason that red wall voters are suffering is down to totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. So a far better reason not to forgive Starmer is that without his unflinching support Downing Street would never have got them through Parliament.
    12
  3681. If the Georgian people have any sense as soon as the Ukrainian offensive takes place they will take out Bidzina Ivanizhvili and his supporters, install a government that genuinely represents the people and their interests, and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen. An opportunity like this might not come again!
    12
  3682. As things stand if an illegal makes it to the UK they are very well looked after, and more or less guaranteed that they will eventually be allowed to stay. Until this changes radically the small boats will keep coming, in ever increasing numbers. Neither the last government nor this one have shown the slightest inclination to take the strong stand that the vast majority of the country wants.
    12
  3683. Russia can't even win in Ukraine, so there's little chance it's going to win anywhere else.
    12
  3684. Fortunately for Russia, Chicken Joe is terrified of an escalation that Putin is in no position to make.
    12
  3685. As we all know, those Chinese soldiers in Belarus are only there to work on their sun tan.
    12
  3686. This won't stop until Ukrainian special ops starts taking out Moscow infrastructure. Get some ex IRA veterans to show how this is done. They were very good at it.
    12
  3687. The fact is if you are immune, EITHER through having recovered from covid-19 or having had two jabs, it really doesn't matter what country you visit. This is "listening to the science". Anything else is listening to the Chicken Littles.
    12
  3688. As should most Australians who seem to have it in for Novak.
    12
  3689. Don't hold your breath on any arrests and decent sentencing. We all know that FGM, forced under-age marriage, and abusing young white girls, is legal in the UK as long as you belong to certain ethnic groups and a certain religion.
    12
  3690. More likely firing on apartment blocks full of women and children!
    12
  3691. A very sizeable percentage of my sex are not too bright and very insecure. It's therefore easy to see the appeal of a religion (or certain interpretations of it) that tells them they are better, and have more rights, than 50% of the population.
    12
  3692. The Moscow State Circus has come to town.
    12
  3693. Use your eyes and ears. When I see and hear Laurel Hubbard I see a MAN.
    12
  3694. Unfortunately YouTube keeps removing comments suggesting that owners should be held responsible for their dogs.
    12
  3695. Surely there shouldn't be ANY social media apps on government phones and computers. Or are us hard-pressed taxpayers paying for civil servants to just goof around instead of working?
    12
  3696. I wouldn't trust Starmer to deliver his own shopping from the supermarket to his car.
    12
  3697. ASAP please. Then Ukraine will be able to knock out depots and infrastructure on the Russia side of the border, reducing the flow of aggressors into Ukraine. Personally, I'd like to see Ukraine given the wherewithal to do to Russian cities what Russia has done to it's cities: seems perfectly fair, doesn't it.
    12
  3698. How many BILLIONS of pounds could be saved by tackling benefit fraud? 9.4 million people of working age aren't working. That's an incredible 25% of the working age population. There is no conceivable way that most of these people are too sick to work. So it is extremely likely that SEVERAL MILLION people are receiving benefits that they are not entitled to.
    12
  3699. What's amazing is just how many are prepared to fight. People forget that, unlike in the films, there are far worse things than a quick clean death, so I can understand the fear of some.
    12
  3700. As necessary as rehearsing Santa coming down your chimney.🤣🤣🤣
    12
  3701. YouTube also doesn't want people speaking about adverse effects!
    12
  3702. It would have been so good if there had been a massive drone strike on this parade.
    12
  3703. And (other than the RNLI) burnt to the ground!
    12
  3704. Third time lucky to bring the building down?
    12
  3705. Another Russian column within a few days? They need to replace that Z with a picture of a lemming.
    12
  3706. Imagine just how very humiliated Putin will be if this bridge is destroyed, especially with the kind of effort he is putting in to protect it.
    12
  3707. Stupid soldiers for not surrendering to Ukrainians, who would treat them far better than their commanders!
    12
  3708. If I found someone in my home I wouldn't hesitate to use a crowbar or sledgehammer on my own door or window, and then, if necessary, use it on the trespasser. It's good to know that I'm within my rights to do so.
    12
  3709. Perhaps 9th May in Russia should now be known as Loser Day.
    12
  3710. It's impossible to overestimate the incompetence of most government employees.
    12
  3711. What's very regrettable is that India refuses to recognise that launching an unprovoked attack on another country is totally unacceptable. It may not be in India's best economic interests to join other countries in their sanctions against Russia, but sometimes it's much more important to do what's decent and right!
    12
  3712. Maybe he is referring to Lebanon, where I gather a large number of a certain group want their sausages back, along with two eggs.
    12
  3713. If you can't afford to bring up your kids then don't have any! With a seriously overpopulated world two kids is quite enough, without encouraging irresponsible people to have litters.
    12
  3714. Most people would walk around with a banana up their arse if government told them it would protect them from infection!
    12
  3715. FIFA knew that certain countries don't welcome the LGBT brigade. If FIFA wasn't prepared to accept that those of this disposition would have to contain their urges, while visiting Qatar, then they shouldn't have given the country the games. It really is that simple!
    12
  3716. Am I the only one who thinks that many on benefits, or those in prison, should be made to give something back to society by being made to do these jobs?
    12
  3717. The whole idea of going on a protest is that you stand up to be counted. Therefore covering your face to avoid identification should be illegal, and lead to immediate arrest.
    12
  3718. Not one party, not even Reform UK, is willing to commit to a particular course of action that would definitely bring migration down: particularly illegal migration. This is strange, since doing so would be a massive vote winner.
    12
  3719. I think Turkey currently stops any warships from entering the Black Sea, so none can be sent to guard merchant shipping. Of course, the other side of this is that every Orc ship that is taken out there can't be replaced.
    12
  3720. If, as Dannatt says, the Russians have exhausted themselves then its extremely important to not to give them time to recover. It's much easier to kick a man in the head when he's down and winded.
    12
  3721. While having a retirement age of 64 isn't unreasonable, the way Herr Macron pushed it through like a dictator is. He is relying on things calming down, and people forgiving and forgetting. This dictator must not be allowed to give the middle finger to French democracy.
    12
  3722. What a pathetic joke. TACO's deadlines just keep getting longer. The proper way to do this would be immediate sanctions, with a promise to lift them AFTER peace was made.
    12
  3723. Many of those on a state pension, who paid into this country all their life, can't afford a visit to the zoo or tennis lessons!
    12
  3724. Standard Putin tactics. When he runs out of rockets he will start poisoning crops.
    12
  3725. Sadly this is exactly what we expect from Russia, and not in the least surprising. Russia hasn't changed one iota since it murderer 22,000 Polish officers in Katyn: along with MANY similar atrocities. This is why no price is too high to defeat Russia!
    12
  3726. The bridge may no longer have that much military significance, but in other ways it is immensely significant. It's destruction would cause very public and intense humiliation to Putin: maybe even enough to topple him. The psychological effect of having their easiest escape route cut off would also panic most Russians still in Crimea. Ukrainians also need to be a bit more imaginative than just considering air and sea drone strikes. I'm sick of having to repeat my suggestion of an under water Navy Sea operation. But maybe Ukraine doesn't have the competence to carry out such a mission.
    12
  3727. The cover picture is reminiscent of a dog that's been taught to stand on one leg and beg.
    12
  3728. Did anyone really believe that Labour had the slightest intention of stopping a tsunami of future Labour voters?
    12
  3729. There are a lot of American, British and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash to fly their jets in Ukraine and cleanse it of the Orc infestation.
    12
  3730. They should be sacked!
    12
  3731. That is a beautiful sight! But we have to remember that, like the flagship, this is all down to an Orc smoking a ciggy where he shouldn't have.
    12
  3732. That was very distressing. Several of the Orcs survived.
    12
  3733. This goes on everywhere. 30 to 40 years ago there was no shortage of woeful tales from highly qualified I.T. staff in the US. In direct contravention of the US visa requirements Indians were hired, who existing staff were forced to train, and then the existing staff were fired. Of course the government turned an eye to all this.
    12
  3734. Expect the hospitality industry to go into freefall. It's about one fifth the cost to eat and drink at home.
    12
  3735. What's far worse than a really thick person is a really thick person who wont admit she made an absolutely massive mistake!
    12
  3736. Am I the only one that thinks that while a kid is growing up they should, if at all possible, have both a mum and a dad. This is what most of us are wired to be most happy with. If they want to play at home when they are older then OK, but kids (most of whom are heterosexual) shouldn't have to deal with having two men or two women when they are young. What about putting the kids interests first for a change?
    12
  3737. Over a year ago I pointed out that Siberia is rich in natural resources, which Moscow plunders, giving nothing in return. Moscow also plunders the lives of its young men, forcing them to fight in an unnecessary war. It's way past time that Siberia got wise and seceded from the Russian Federation, from which it derives no benefit, but only great costs. With Moscow now seriously weakened, there has never been a better time to do this: and other regions are having the same thoughts!
    12
  3738. Spare a thought for the OAPs who Sunak has cheated out of their "triple lock" pension rise, and will now receive well below inflation. Even without being cheated many would have really suffered with the rise in food and heating costs.
    12
  3739. I wish we had been wrong, but many of us predicted a massive surge in illegal migration if Labour was elected.
    12
  3740. As others have said, I'd expect it's a lot more than half: more likely 80%.
    12
  3741. With Labour planning to tax retired people out of the homes that they worked so hard to buy, we could see a big increase in these numbers.
    12
  3742. Exactly! And only a small proportion of them.
    12
  3743. Why was there so little knife crime when I was growing up 50 years ago? Could it possibly be that we were then prepared to punish serious crime severely?
    12
  3744. Not running from the press, like a frightened rabbit, would have saved Diana's life.
    12
  3745. I had the good sense to vote Reform UK when it mattered. The problem is that now TTK and Labour have another 4½ years before we can get rid of them. At the rate they are going one has to wonder whether there will then be anything left worth saving.
    12
  3746. Me too.
    12
  3747. Better still just shoot them!
    12
  3748. Taking out the Kerch bridge, and destroying most of the supply depots in Belgorod would seriously reduce Putin's options, as well as massively hurting the Orcs' moral. My own bet is that we could see an attempt to cut off supply routes, in the West, for getting tanks and other weapons into Ukraine.
    12
  3749. If I was a parent of a child at that school I would expect the offender to be expelled in order to protect the other children: no excuses!
    12
  3750. Most of us have suspected this for a long time. The trouble is that often those with this condition refuse to accept that they have it. For the sake of America, and indeed all of the free world, Biden should hand the reins over to his vice president. His remaining in power is a gift to both Trump and Putin.
    12
  3751. He might like to ask how the OAPs, who have been cheated out of their "triple lock", are expected to survive.
    12
  3752. I don't know about you, but this taxpayer would like to see criminals pay for their crimes, instead of just sitting on their arses in prison, at great expense to us all. There's a vast amount of infrastructure in the UK that urgently requires hard manual labour. Criminals should be made to pay their debt to society by being forced to work in chain gangs, with guards that have cattle prods to encourage them.
    12
  3753. That's what Hezbollah are saying, and they also want two eggs back with each one.
    12
  3754. One's home, especially as one gets older, represents by far the biggest investment in ones life, and, in normal circumstances, ones security. I imagine a lot of people hope that if the keep their heads down things will blow over for them. For some this will be true. For others it will cost them their lives.
    12
  3755. Millions of us hated Starmer with a passion, even before the PM's remarks! On several occasions, when Tory back benchers were rebelling, this self-serving creature's unstinting support got repressive covid-19 legislation through. Legislation that crucified those whom he was meant to care most about.
    12
  3756. When we accord too many rights to wrong-doers we seriously infringe the rights of everybody else!
    12
  3757. Just let the rest of the UK vote on kicking Norther Ireland out of the union. Problem solved!
    12
  3758. Yes, Putin is like a frightened animal making pathetic threat displays in the hope that the encircling wolves will give up on their dinner.
    12
  3759. These strikes were the right call, and I really hope they were successful, but we can't be sure either way. And we also don't know whether the enriched uranium was moved prior to them. In view of this, giving the Iranian regime a ceasefire is a seriously bad move.
    12
  3760. A country that is rich in Uranium, and one of the most tectonically stable in the world, should be enjoying a surfeit of cheap energy. Well it would if it didn't have a surfeit of drongo politicians.
    12
  3761. That worked so well with Hitler, didn't it. Putin is no different!
    12
  3762. After Putin having gone crawling to Iran, wouldn't it be the height of irony if fundamental Islamism lit the first spark for the breakup of the Russian Federation?
    12
  3763. And yet Sunak has been allowed to cheat OAPs out of their "triple lock"!
    12
  3764. Let's put it this way. You definitely don't go to the incredible expense and difficulty of building a site deep underground for peaceful purposes!
    12
  3765. Funny, that's EXACTLY what the Nazis said about the Jews. I've even been to the Wannsee Centre and seen their propaganda, such as the "fox in the hedge" cartoon.
    12
  3766. And YouTube hiding or removing tales relating to such treatment!
    12
  3767. One can't help wondering whether this would now all be over if Ukraine had never been short on equipment. Germany, are you wondering too?
    12
  3768. Vote in haste, repent at leisure!
    12
  3769. It's his battlefield failures that he is really being punished for. Those in positions of power in Russia who don't take bribes are in the minority.
    11
  3770. Now many of the complete morons who supported these insane lockdowns and restrictions are going to start understanding the true cost of them, and how utterly wrong they were.
    11
  3771. Not can't, WON'T!
    11
  3772. ​@waltersobchak1719 Despite the name @richardgallagher4880 is a well known Putin fanboy troll. They often give themselves British or Irish sounding names. They also use various African and Asian names to stir up hatred.
    11
  3773. Just imagine the intense, and very public, humiliation Putin is now suffering.
    11
  3774. Most people, myself included, take the attitude that as long as it isn't hurting anyone else people can pursue whatever lifestyle they like, even if most of us might find it bizarre or revolting. However, these crazy gender laws are going to engender a massive amount of hatred. And we all know what might follow on from such hatred! The vast majority of of KNOW what a man or a woman is, and no MP or judge is going to tell us that we are wrong.
    11
  3775. Perhaps Biden might have a few senior moments, but that's preferable to being stark raving mad like Trump.
    11
  3776. Because it's Putin keeping him in power, though it's questionable whether Putin is still able to do so.
    11
  3777. Austrians need to step up the protests. Tyrants rely on frightening people or them just giving up in frustration. It would be a really good thing, both for Austria and the whole world if the Austrian chancellor had a very serious or fatal "accident".
    11
  3778. If most parents knew just how bad things were in most UK secondary schools they would realise that a few strikes will make bugger all difference to their children's education. Very few capable people want to teach in our truly awful UK schools.
    11
  3779. If this is true then why did Putin go cap in hand to Kim Ung-Yong?
    11
  3780. Our intelligence services need to be given carte blanche to "deal" with them, without interference from the courts and bent lawyers.
    11
  3781. I can't speak for the lower ranks, but to enter the Civil Service as an Executive Officer you used to have to take an exam and then have an interview before a panel of 3. It seems to me that was a perfectly fair recruitment procedure.
    11
  3782. Most people don't want EITHER the Conservatives or Labour, but will vote for the one they hate and fear the least. It's a little like choosing between gonorrhea and syphilis, rather than the penicillin that can cure them, which continuing the metaphor would be Reform UK.
    11
  3783. The sole justification for The Coronavirus Act is the need for very rapid action that cannot wait to be put to a vote in parliament. With most people now vaccinated, there is no longer the urgency that makes short-cutting the democratic parliamentary process necessary. Therefore the government shouldn't even be asking for an extension, and any MP who believes in democracy should vote against it.
    11
  3784. "selling naked pictures of herself" Who in their right mind would pay to look at anything so ugly. You would have to pay me handsomely to look at such pictures AND give me plenty of warning so that I hadn't consumed any food for a good few hours before the viewing.
    11
  3785. Another day another, lame threat from frightened Putin.
    11
  3786. I said something similar many times. YouTube usually deletes or hides such comments.
    11
  3787. If Boris Johnson gets TB can we please put him down.
    11
  3788. Standard Russian tactics. When you can't win on the battlefield murder and terrorize defenceless civilians.
    11
  3789. These people know where they can stick their Fatwas!
    11
  3790. That's insulting to snakes.
    11
  3791. The figures for turnout and a vote in favour of joining Russia were already decided before the "referendum" even started.
    11
  3792. Long overdue.
    11
  3793. France is a stunningly beautiful country, with better weather than us. It has superb food, is extremely rich in culture, and has a health service that far out performs our dying NHS. If rather than stay in France people are willing to pay lots of money to risk their lives crossing the channel then Britain is doing something very wrong!
    11
  3794. These people came here legally. Before even thinking of kicking them out there are tens of thousands of dinghy boys that need to be deported!
    11
  3795. Is Israel going to let a terrorist group dictate its actions? It will be the beginning of the end for Israel if it lets Hezbollah tell it what to do.
    11
  3796. Taking a lead from the French, who generate 70% of their electricity from nuclear power, is incredibly sensible.
    11
  3797. Ausgezeichnet!
    11
  3798. When you do a deal with the Devil he always gets far more out of it.
    11
  3799. Mowed down is really good. There's nothing like a good turkey shoot, especially when you are shooting pigs instead of turkeys.
    11
  3800. But, let's be fair. Nobody does spoil brat better than Harry.
    11
  3801. Israel also has nukes.
    11
  3802. What do you expect from someone who got pregnant and left school at 16?
    11
  3803. Just like Adolf was certain there was no antisemitism crisis.
    11
  3804. What a complete joke, which should be treated as such. I'm just waiting for Putin to have a ceremony crowing him Russia's new tsar.
    11
  3805. The protesters in eastern Germany are very likely ex-Stasi, or have relatives that are.
    11
  3806. What Suella did had zero security implications, as the contents of her email was due to become public knowledge within hours. This was a pathetic pretext to get rid of her. But what's far more pathetic is one of Nichola's poodles attempting to make something out of her re-appointment.
    11
  3807. Never mind "being bought". Most British people would now happily pay to be rid of this Labour government!
    11
  3808. With the host country's leader declaring that fossil fuels are a gift from God did anyone expect a good outcome?
    11
  3809. They won't now.
    11
  3810. But it's great for the bottom line of big pharma.
    11
  3811. Made a similar comment, which YouTube seems to be hiding from others.
    11
  3812. Don't forget, Orcs make good compost.
    11
  3813. "on the table"? It's an absolute necessity, because we all know what will happen if Iran obtains nukes.
    11
  3814. Nationalise, and take Thames Water out of the hands of greedy shareholders!
    11
  3815. FFS, in this day and age Ukraine should have some fighter jets capable of taking out bombers! Compared to a fighter jet bombers are slow lumbering easy targets.
    11
  3816.  @RebelRed  You know exactly where you can shove your vaccine!
    11
  3817. I think Trump's main concern is that most NATO countries aren't paying anywhere near their fair share, and if we are honest he has a good point here that will resonate well with the American people: nobody likes to be taken for a sucker. As long as other countries start pulling their weight I think Trump will keep the US in NATO.
    11
  3818. The sooner Ukraine get those cluster munitions, the sooner these brave men can flush the Orcs out of their trenches much more effectively and safely.
    11
  3819. Being grossly over indulgent at Christmas, or at any time for that matter, isn't something to be proud of!
    11
  3820. As always, a defenseless civilian target.
    11
  3821. If people were taken straight off the boats and put on planes to Rwanda the crossing WOULD stop very quickly.
    11
  3822. I see that Putin gave Erdogan a few tips during their recent meeting. NATO needs to think really hard about how appropriate it is to keep a member that is spitting in the face of democracy!
    11
  3823. Only very sick people think that chasing down terrified animals and tearing them to pieces is OK. I wonder how these Hooray Henrys and Henriettas would feel about having their beloved hounds chased and torn to shreds?
    11
  3824. ​ @DRKrust492  Do I detect a worried Labour voter?
    11
  3825. OK, it's not something to celebrate, but think of how many soldiers and how much equipment will be needed to keep that 20%. There are way more Ukrainians willing to fight for their country, than conscripted Russians willing to die for Putin's ego. And countries like the US and UK can be relied upon to replace Ukraine's weapons. No one is going to replace Russia's. So don't lose hope and keep up the just and righteous fight. Every good and decent person in the world supports Ukraine.
    11
  3826. Sound's like a Putin fanboy who is really upset by this video.
    11
  3827. There are more than enough people in this country, and indeed the world. If you can't afford to bring up children then don't have any! It's not your right for others to pay for your indulgences.
    11
  3828. Doh! That means that sanctions are working.
    11
  3829. Isn't it funny how the basket cases seem to find one another. He's the nuts in her fruitcake.😊
    11
  3830. Put all the selfish, frightened snowflakes up against the wall, and shoot them, now!
    11
  3831. While a lot of English hate to admit it, France really does have it all, depending on where you go: historic towns, outstanding natural scenery, and excellent weather.
    11
  3832. A really good crash would be wonderful for so many of our young , who have been priced out of the market by greedy "buy to let" people.
    11
  3833. Yesterday, incontinent Putin delivered several heavy strikes on his nappies.
    11
  3834. It's the cowardice of snowflakes like YOU that is getting out of hand!
    11
  3835. Young people could buy homes if older people hadn't been so incredibly greedy and pushed the price of housing through the roof. At 64, I remember that it was vastly easier to get on the property ladder when I was in my 20s. But then there weren't lots of greedy bastards intent on buying multiple properties to rent out.
    11
  3836. I was about to say that most of us are well and truly sick of the scaremongering. However, I suspect that many people are now starting to get very angry at the government's constant PATHETIC attempts to try and scare people, who have since got wise to their MANY previous lies. They are milking this variant theme for all it's worth. First we had the UK variant, as an EXCUSE for why their insane lockdowns and restrictions haven't worked. Next we had the South African variant, and now it's Brazil's turn. Maybe the bookies will start taking bets on which country the government chooses for the next variant. And yesterday we had a further PATHETIC attempt to lie to people about catching covid-19 again, and spreading it. So out of well over 6000 people who had recovered, a few virus particles were subsequently found in 44 of them. Of course they were! Immunity does not mean no virus ever makes it into ones body again. It means that it's recognised and destroyed very quickly, before it can do any harm. Why weren't we told how many of the 44 went on to develop the disease, or how long the virus survived in these people? Because NONE of them got ill, and the virus probably didn't even last 24 hours in these 44: but that would not support government propaganda. Blow Job and Hancock, give it up. Only the snowflake retards now believe a word you say.
    11
  3837. Another crying Putin rentboy.
    11
  3838. If we stop isolating perfectly healthy doctors and nurses, and don't sack those who have the very good sense not to take poorly tested vaccines that they don't need, then winter for the NHS would look fine.
    11
  3839. They did this and worse under Stalin, so why not under Putin?
    11
  3840. The warm reception Wagner soldiers received in Rostov has shown Putin's generals that if they attempt a coup it might be very favourably received.
    11
  3841. We have a population imbalance, but actually there are far too many people in the UK, and far too many in the world!
    11
  3842. The thing is that Orban is a dyed-in-the-wool Putin rent boy, and most would like to see Hungary kicked out of both the EU and NATO.
    11
  3843. You've got to feel sorry for the drainage ditches in those fields.🤣
    11
  3844. Considering what Ukraine has just done in Crimea it's money very well spent. If Poo Tin isn't driven out of Ukraine then Moldova is top of his long shopping list.
    11
  3845. And don't let this Taliban boy force you to wear it.
    11
  3846. ​ @goenzoy712  That's part of what I mean by playing a smarter game. For Putin the lives of Russian soldiers are cheap as chips, and he will happily conscript more cannon fodder. But the lives of Ukrainian soldiers are much more precious.
    11
  3847. In this country we already have far too many work-shy parasitic scroungers sucking the life blood out of those of us who work. I'm happy to see those who work and pay taxes let into this country, but we need to come down extremely heavily on those who just take and contribute nothing. Of course another non-negotiable requirement is that those coming into this country respect the rights of women, the laws of this country, and our customs.
    11
  3848. I hope, unlike the Russian meatgrinder troops, that they have had some decent training and are well equipped.
    11
  3849. It is illegal, but this is another example of the police choosing what laws they want to enforce.
    11
  3850. Consider this. Nearly 3 million of working age in the UK claim they are unfit to work, and are receiving benefits. Is it any wonder that the economy is so buggered?
    11
  3851. One of Putin's greatest fears is of discontent regions trying to leave the Russian Federation. What's just happened is really going to stoke that fear, and make him wonder how many troops he needs to keep on alert to handle fighting within Russia.
    11
  3852. The judge was clearly retarded. If someone enters your home in the middle of the night they are clearly not there seeking inspiration on decorating and furnishing.
    11
  3853. I despair for freedom and democracy in this country. It seems that hardly a day goes by without such protests, and yet to look at the state controlled BBC news you would think that everyone is supporting government repression. Josef Goebbels would be truly proud to own our government's propaganda machine.
    11
  3854. He should have done this almost 2 years ago!
    11
  3855. Unfortunately there are a lot of evil men trying to silence people like Dr. Campbell.
    11
  3856. It's been time for a new party for years. The trouble is most people don't have the guts to vote anything other than Conservative of Labour, and usually they are just voting for the party they hate the least. This is also the reason why neither Labour or Conservative will ever offer PR, because it would mean the end of both of them.
    11
  3857. What's Putin going to do? Send the Dutch government his used diapers.
    11
  3858. Trouble is that having an eternal Labour government instead would be just as bad. Britain URGENTLY needs an alternative to both major parties. And the people of this country need to man up and vote for that alternative.
    11
  3859. It very much is their priority: to bring in millions of future Labour voters!
    11
  3860. Information about demos like these is being heavily censored by UK mainstream media.
    11
  3861. When you have got one of the best Uranium mines in the world, and also the most stable tectonics, just how stupid do you have to be not to use nuclear power?
    11
  3862. They should be at home in their own beds, not blocking hospital beds for those who really need them!
    11
  3863. I'm really looking forward to seeing the carnage these mig29s visit on the Orcs.
    11
  3864. Is there anything about Rishi Sunak that doesn't disappoint?
    11
  3865. Most motorist consider warning other about a speed trap a common curtesy.
    11
  3866. Hospitalisations among 15 to 24-year-olds may be at their highest, but this doesn't change the FACT that the risk posed to this age group is NEGLIGIBLE. This "highest" still represents a really, really tiny fraction. Most who now catch covid-19 probably hardly even notice it, and a few weeks later they are the proud owners of excellent natural immunity, without having taken an experimental vaccine.
    11
  3867. Spare a thought for the poor OAPs that Sunak has cheated out of their "triple lock" pension rise. They will now get a rise well under the rate of inflation. Even if he hadn't cheated them a great many would have been crucified by the increased cost of their food and heating.
    11
  3868. There's an excellent fireworks display to go with this video. I hear the crabs are now feasting on well roasted Orc.
    11
  3869. Neither does not defending yourself against a wrong.
    11
  3870. You can always tell a Russian MoD video. Lots of pictures of its own weapons being prepared and fired, but NEVER a convincing shot of anything being hit.🤣🤣🤣
    11
  3871. Germany, I hope you are getting this. Where are all those weapons you promised Ukraine months ago?
    11
  3872. Coupled with persistent over-delivery of people who have no right to be in this country!
    11
  3873. This is like debating the number of angels on a pinhead. Not a single spade of earth will be moved during this parliament. And none of Reeves other ideas will bear any fruit during it. She's definitely the "jam tomorrow" queen.
    11
  3874. I can remember my sister telling quite a few tales about cowardly woke managers who absolutely refused to take disciplinary action against black nurses.
    11
  3875. Four day weeks and "working" from a tropical beach. This really is taking the piss of council tax payers!
    11
  3876. “We’ve Been TOO LENIENT On Shoplifting” Except for the courts, bent lawyers, the government, and of course the criminals themselves, everyone would agree.
    11
  3877. When I had a mortgage we would have been over the moon if interest rates had been as low as even 5%. People have spent way beyond their means, because they want everything immediately, without making any effort or sacrifice. Therefore I have absolutely no sympathy for them.
    11
  3878. Great powers? Not anymore. More like great cross hand bougie aficionados.
    11
  3879. There are so many stories like these, but YouTube pulls out all the stops to remove them ASAP, along with any suggestions that mRNA injections might be to blame.
    11
  3880. As do all decent Turks!
    11
  3881. While a proper summer would be much better, I'd much rather this than the 40°C+ and droughts that some countries are getting.
    11
  3882. No, because there are much stricter laws for those of us who are white: especially if we are also Christian or Jewish.
    11
  3883. Totally agree with Israel's ambassador. Guterres would no doubt like to tell us that the Holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum: maybe he doesn't believe it happened at all.
    11
  3884. This "loss of innocent life" was ALSO caused by Hamas!
    11
  3885. We need a latter day Guy Fawkes. If he crowd funded the gunpowder he would end up with more money than the GDP of some small countries.
    11
  3886. Hasn't it always been said that Boris was made PM because he was known to be weak, and others knew they could control him. However, those wanting lockdowns and restrictions were what would have been called "wets" in Maggie's days. Being bullied by a wet is really pathetic, even for Boris.
    11
  3887. Why are people beating themselves up over this. The simple fact is that if these people weren't trying to enter the UK ILLEGALY then they would still be alive. If a lot more of them died while attempting this crossing then we would have an effective deterrent!
    11
  3888. The very best deterrent is knowing that what you do to somebody else will be done to you, with interest. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Russia should have some of its dams, of comparable size and importance, blown up.
    11
  3889. I wonder if it every occurred to these Labour geniuses that: 1. Working five days often fits the business model far better. 2. People working four 10 hour days, rather than five 8 hour days may be much less efficient There's an old saying. He who pays the piper calls the tune. When someone signs up for a job they know in advance where they will be expected to work, when they will be expected to work, and the dress code. If they don't like it then they should look elsewhere!
    11
  3890. Those of us who had a decent history education will remember that, a long very time ago, one of the major parties was the Liberal Party (though probably somewhat different from today's namesake). That it became inconsequential shows that it's quite possible for the same thing to happen to the Tories.
    11
  3891. One might maintain that it was granting Hamas a ceasefire of many years that lead to October 7th.
    11
  3892. If Sunak wasn't incredibly stupid and cowardly he would have backed Suella all the way. Labour will be dancing for joy at this sacking. Suella didn't just speak for millions of Brits, she spoke for MOST of them!
    11
  3893. For a Russia that has now simultaneously become both a pariah nation and a laughing stock, "removing" Putin and his so-called "strong men" must be a very enticing proposition. It's hard to imagine a more face-saving way out of this than to get rid of them, blame them for everything, and withdraw from Ukraine.
    11
  3894. Where giving your teddy bear certain names can cost you your life!
    11
  3895. Definitely much more convincing than the earlier video. Of course, it would be 100% convincing if Sokolov had actually mentioned the missile attack.
    11
  3896. If people want GENUINE change then they have to have the guts to vote for the party they really want. And for most this is neither the Conservatives or Labour.
    11
  3897. While being prepared to defend oneself is always very wise, Putin has all he can handle in Ukraine without getting NATO directly involved.
    11
  3898. Ah, but most of the cannon fodder hasn't come from Moscow and St. Petersburg, which regard those in the regions as completely expendable.
    11
  3899. When TTK says something is nonsense or untrue then you know it's a fact.
    11
  3900. The thought of anyone attributing a high level of intelligence to Putin brings on almost incontrollable laughter.
    11
  3901. Unlike Russian invaders, NATO forces will have been invited in by Ukraine, which is a sovereign state, and are therefor there legally.
    11
  3902. That doesn't mean that he can't now recognise that he did something very stupid.
    11
  3903. A vodka induced vision.
    11
  3904. So, a few years in prison for some hurty words tweeted in haste, but only a few weeks (and no deportation) for someone who actually hurt lots of people.
    11
  3905. The country being run by Blow Job's girlfriend. That would be so funny if it didn't have a slight ring of truth to it. Mind you, even his baby couldn't do a much worse job than him. On the whole when I look at Downing Street I see a bunch of nasty little boys, who aren't that bright, squabbling over who is going to be gang leader.
    11
  3906. Of course they don't want to hand over the body. Because the cause of death determined from it would not look good.
    11
  3907. Shooting down missiles is great, but shooting down jets and helicopters, with Orcs in them is a lot better.
    11
  3908. I still want to see the all the queen's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren getting vaccinated. Then I'll believe that Blow Job, Hancock, and (not so) SAGE have 100% confidence in the vaccine's safety.
    11
  3909. Watching this one gets the feeling the the Russians have donated more military hardware to Ukraine than Germany!
    11
  3910. The rest of the world no longer needs comedy shows. All they have to do is tune into news about Britain. "Don't mention the dinghy boys. I did, but I think I got away with it". Then we have Essex police busting a ruthless and very dangerous gang of golliwogs.
    11
  3911. So many have pointed out that there are far too many managers and admin staff, but YouTube keeps removing such comments!
    11
  3912. Any NATO country trying to block membership will be greeted with the utmost condemnation and contempt. They may also find that decent people try to boycott them in any way that they can: for instance, as a holiday destination.
    11
  3913. Trump's enthusiastic support of Putin has given Emperor Xi the green light.
    11
  3914. Considering the location, this is probably just an accident.
    11
  3915. In view of the Russian threats and mobilisation towards Finland's border, Finland's admission to NATO needs to proceed with the utmost urgency. Once the request is made we should be thinking in terms of DAYS!
    11
  3916. Please, give it a bloody rest! Is there any evidence that in the absence of the Delta variant that those infected with it wouldn't simply be infected by another variant? NO! Is there any evidence that the Delta variant is any more deadly? NO! Variants are now most governments' favourite Bogey man, with which to frighten people. Hell, there's already the Delta Plus variant waiting in the wings for when people get wise to the current scam. This is a virus with a low IFR of just 0.3%, and even then you need to be very old and/or sick to get a winning ticket. Don't be a gullible, frightened schmuck! For over 99% of people covid-19 is no big deal.
    11
  3917. Someone needs to explain to this rich Lord, who has never done a hard day's work in his life, that the whole idea of a strike is to inflict the maximum damage and inconvenience: that gives it its best chance of succeeding.
    11
  3918. A few years ago I tutored a very bright girl, both of whose parents were doctors. She did well enough on her STEP exams to get an interview in Cambridge, at which stage she was rejected. I can't help thinking that if instead of being white and blonde she had been of a dark complexion, with parents on the dole, and living on a council estate, then she would have been given a place. That students like this are denied the places they deserve is my idea of failure by universities.
    11
  3919. Yep, been there and done exactly that. Woke up on Christmas day 2019 aching from head to toe and feeling like a wire brush was being rubbed up and down my throat. Just sucked a few Strepsils and took things easy, and on Boxing Day I was feeling well enough to go to M&S and buy my half price turkey.
    11
  3920. Someone else made the allusion to a vindictive, spoiled child, who when he can't have something destroys it so nobody else can have it either.
    11
  3921. So many more Russian airports need the same treatment: especially Moscow and St. Petersburg.
    11
  3922. Years ago even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested using a Scottish island to hold illegal immigrants. There are plenty of such islands. They are remote, bleak, and very difficult to escape from without outside help. This would be much cheaper than Rwanda, not open to legal challenge, and a very real deterrent. What's more many are uninhabited, so there are no locals to adversely affect. Any party committing to go down this path would win a massive number of votes.
    11
  3923. Putting VAT on private schools is an act of unmitigated jealousy and envy. If Starmer wasn't so blinded by class hatred he would consider how much more us taxpayers would have to fork out to educate all those in private schools if they swapped to state education. But then Labour has always had a levelling down policy. As has been pointed out so often, many parents aren't wealthy. They just bust a gut and make big sacrifices to do the very best they can for their children.
    11
  3924. Absolute rubbish. What they might struggle to afford is a grossly indulgent Christmas. I'm sure most could afford a nice "home cooked" meal, and modest presents. I'd bet good money that most kids in this 1/3 of families have a mobile phone, that most kids would be much better off without.
    11
  3925. These are among the most urgent cases, where time is of the essence. This is especially so for someone who has a stroke, where almost immediate treatment can mean the difference between a full recovery and ending up as a vegetable.
    11
  3926. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Those caught logging illegally (or poaching) should be shot on sight! As should those knowingly buying the timber.
    11
  3927. Another dreaming Putin rent boy.
    11
  3928. Not inability, UNWILLINGNESS!
    11
  3929. Doesn't want to identify the school? On a couple of occasions when a school has wronged me I've put all their dirty deeds on the internet and laughed in the face of the lawyers they hired to try and intimidate me.
    11
  3930. What really makes me laugh is when you see posts saying Suella articulated what most of us think with 100s or 1000s of likes. Then you see a pathetic handful of replies insisting that she only represents a minute minority.
    11
  3931. Well, everybody in Leeds knew, decades before it all came out. When I moved there and was being shown round by a workmate he took me to where Saville lived, pointed to the house, and mentioned that it was where Saville took all the schoolgirls home to.
    11
  3932. The threat will become immeasurably greater if Taiwan gives the slightest indication that it is not prepared to defend itself to the last man!
    11
  3933. I too think golliwogs are some of the cutest dolls going. Most kids adore them. I had one when I was a kid. When my nephew was a baby I specially travelled into London to get one for him at Hamleys, which was one of the few places not too intimidated to sell them. My sister also recalls a doctor who had all the different ones, that you used to get free with Robinsons Jam, pinned to his white coat. I'll bet they are now worth a pretty penny.
    11
  3934. None of this would be happening if there was the will to run prisons as strictly as they should be run.
    11
  3935. Who needs a Mad Max movie when we've got Mad Vlad?
    11
  3936. We maybe shouldn't blame ordinary Russians, but isn't there a single Russian general, with a conscience, in a position to take Putin and his supporters out? If I was such a general then for the greater good I'd even order a strike to flatten the entire Kremlin, if it were the only way to get Putin and his supporters.
    11
  3937. And one spoilt childish brat called Xi, who is currently throwing a massive temper tantrum, because he didn't get his own way.
    11
  3938. I wonder how much the MoD has spent on prayer mats?
    11
  3939. Issuing stab proof vests seems very reasonable.
    11
  3940. No doubt Macron would happily move his government to Vichy, if it made Putin happy.
    11
  3941. I'm reminded of a taxi ride from Arusha to Nairobi, about 35 years ago. For a lot of the way the driver had to swerve from one side of the road to the other to avoid potholes. I guess it's just part of living in what's now a third world country.
    11
  3942. The old tart around 2:40 looks like something you would meet in a seedy nightclub for ageing transvestites.
    11
  3943. Like a typical politician, Blinken didn't answer the question. Taking out Russia's missiles and drones at source, and their launch sites, is an excellent defence. And the visibility to Russians would really increase the pressure on Putin. As Kursk has clearly demonstrated, he is in no position to escalate, so The US needs to stop fearing this.
    11
  3944. If reports like this are correct then MSM is doing Putin a big favour by not reporting on them. Because the more channels that report them the better the chance is that ordinary Russians will discover what Putin's war is costing their country.
    11
  3945. End Putin fanboys,
    11
  3946. It makes you wonder about the mentality of so many in Russia, that such a rabid animal is allowed to remain in power.
    11
  3947. Regardless of seeing the screen, staying in is a fraction of the price!
    11
  3948. Starmer simply doesn't want to hear that the number of such vile crimes carried out by certain groups is vastly out of proportion to the percentage of the population that they make up. Unfortunately for the rest of us denying the truth doesn't change it.
    11
  3949. Notice, however, that there is absolutely no coercion to get vaccinated in Japan.
    11
  3950. Punished? Several of the bastards have received knighthoods for what they did!
    11
  3951.  @fishcane1  You read my comment the wrong way round. The pressure is unsustainable for Russia.
    11
  3952. That's going to win Trump a lot of votes. This is what most of the British electorate would also dearly love to see.
    11
  3953. They will be in therapy for years if they ever see her twerking video!
    11
  3954. Greedy share holders received money that should have been invested into improving the infrastructure. Indeed, money was even borrowed to pay shareholders: this should be illegal. And worthless senior executives have been given totally undeserved bonuses. In view of this most of us would be very happy to see Thames Water renationalised without a penny being paid in compensation.
    11
  3955. Another great Sci-Fi story is one of Moscow's biggest shopping malls going up in flames.🤣🤣🤣
    11
  3956. The ones who have benefited most from this enquiry are, unsurprisingly, the lawyers. It would probably have been cheaper to simply give each victim a million pounds!
    11
  3957. How unreasonable of Ukraine not to let Putin have half the country now, with the option of taking the other half in the next couple of years!
    11
  3958. Absolutely heartbreaking. I can remember spending a few days hiking in Jasper National Park, and how beautiful it was.
    11
  3959. Well, if Russian soldiers were attacked then, for the first time in my life, I find myself saying "Go Jihadis!".
    11
  3960. The NSA and CIA need to have a few secret talks with Musk!
    11
  3961.  @Realist369  Aw. Have I upset one of Putin's fanboy trolls?
    11
  3962. Well done. Depriving Russia of missiles could save a lot of innocent civilian lives.
    11
  3963. Well if this was a contract hit on Alexander it is still owed. It's very bad for business to take the money and not deliver the goods!
    11
  3964. Not a speck of dust on that soldier's helmet, uniform or theodolite, and look how clean the tanks are. And they even had a camera in the tank. Now why did they obscure the face of those in the tank but not the soldier at the start? Well known actors? Of course I'm not suggesting this was filmed on a practice range, or filmset, in Russia.
    11
  3965. LMAO as I predicted this and even got the timing about right. Expect jab No. 5 around June or July!
    11
  3966. Not lazy, in league with Downing Street. Throughout the pandemic the BBC behaved like Russian state media. It unquestioningly fed us all the scaremongering propaganda, instead of telling people what a tiny risk covid-19 posed to over 99%. It also suppressed the truth about how truly excellent and long lasting natural immunity is.
    11
  3967. Another Putin rent boy.
    11
  3968. Freedom of speech and democracy is NOT locking up others just because you are offended by what they have said.
    11
  3969. With his incontinence he can lead from behind. The stench will have his troops rushing forward to avoid a fate worse than death.
    11
  3970. This is a prime example of what allows false rumours to rapidly spread. There's no good reason why a description of the girl, woman and man shouldn't be immediately given. Withholding this only serves to increase people's distrust of the police.
    11
  3971. Tout gouvernement qui refuse délibérément de défendre les frontières de son pays doit être renversé de toute urgence : par tous les moyens nécessaires !
    11
  3972. Boris is a crap PM, but all those in his cabinet who covert his job are just as bad or worse. It's time we saw some honest MPs like Desmond Swayne throwing their hats in the ring.
    11
  3973. Let's be absolutely clear on this. After all the fuss made over these F16s they need to be made maximum use of. Other than for refueling, rearming and maintenance they should be in the air all the time. It will be unforgiveable if Ukraine allows Russia to destroy them because they are sitting vulnerable and idle on the runway.
    11
  3974. Well you know the old joke: What's the difference between a 747 and an Essex girl? You can get more men into an Essex girl.
    11
  3975. Hamas WILL have a problem with this, though!
    11
  3976. Well Russian Orthodox Christmas is coming up in 5 days time. Let's hope Ukraine gives them one that they will really remember.
    11
  3977. These are incredibly funny, but do spare a thought for the poor trainee barristers and solicitors, to whom cretins like this are often assigned. They have to keep a straight face while try to convince them not to say such things in court, and pretending they believe and respect them.
    11
  3978. As other comments have said the WHO should be consigned to history. Trump did many things wrong, but defunding the WHO was definitely not one of them. Governments should stop wasting their taxpayers' hard earned money on this incompetent organisation.
    11
  3979. Maybe he's frightened that if they get closer the smell will confirm that he is incontinent, as many suspect after the report of him falling down stairs and soiling himself in public.
    11
  3980. And what do we learn from this? You can't teach some homeless conscript how to fly a jet in 10 days.
    11
  3981. Dr. John with hospitalisation and death rates so low, we should be worrying no more about climbing covid-19 infection rates than we would about flu infection rates in a bad year. We JUST need to isolate the very vulnerable, and let everyone else get on with their lives. Government measures don't come for free. The price of this repression is very high in terms of businesses, jobs, and futures. Also it is ruining young people's lives and education and damaging their mental health and happiness. If we were dealing with Ebola then the measures would be justified, but the very small risk posed by this virus simply does not justify the government's headless chicken reaction. It's way past time more people admitted that Sweden is doing it right and it's time to follow their excellent example. The number coming over to this view increases everyday. Let's hope it becomes big enough to force the Downing Street retards to mend their ways before they destroy our society. The police could really help in this. They have plenty of REAL CRIME to investigate, so they should give all the lockdown and social distancing rubbish their lowest priority, rather than acting as Hancock's Gestapo.
    11
  3982. Agreed. That there hasn't been a run on Coutts speaks volumes about the decency and morals of all those rich people who have accounts with this bank.
    11
  3983. And what do we learn from this? Don't try to enter the UK illegally!
    11
  3984. ​ @Haroun-El-Poussah  Many years ago I was talking to an exiled Iranian who said that the Shah's generals had begged him to take out Khomeiny. He should have listened to them!
    11
  3985. A lot of Irish ministers need a late night knock on the door from the kind of people that fought so hard to win Ireland its freedom!
    11
  3986. "According to Russia's defence ministry" tells you all you need to know. Many will remember the propaganda video they produced showing shells being fired from a wood in winter and landing in a field in summer.
    11
  3987. Let all those perfectly healthy doctors and nurses, who are isolating, go back to work. This will instantly solve the staffing shortage. And there's a further benefit. It will frighten off the snowflakes who turn up in A & E with nothing more than a scraped knee or nosebleed, further reducing the pressure.
    11
  3988. Absolutely not! We already have far too many people in the UK. People need to exercise some self control or use contraceptives.
    11
  3989. What Modi has done is just like cosying up to Hitler!
    11
  3990. Just think of how things in the UK could have been if, instead of being cowardly and voting for either the Tories or Labour, people had had the courage and intelligence to vote for Reform UK.
    11
  3991. The UK and US displayed far too much patience, and continue to do so. This is why they are perceived as weak by Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.
    11
  3992. Pendant que ces drones navals occupaient les défenses russes, il aurait été judicieux de lancer simultanément une frappe sur le pont de Kertch avec des missiles à longue portée. Après la défaite d'Assad, la crédibilité de Poutine est au plus bas. Il pourrait ne pas survivre à l'humiliation de voir le pont de Kertch détruit au même moment. Commentaire original en anglais supprimé par YouTube.
    11
  3993. Of course Boris is good for Labour. He's repaying them for their unstinting support of his restrictions, even when a lot of his own party didn't support them.
    11
  3994. Better to have Boris back than Rich Boy Sunak, the pension thief.
    11
  3995. Very proud to be one of the intelligent 5 million, and not a gullible sheep.
    11
  3996. Most politicians are self-serving cowards. Boris, and his cabinet certainly are.
    11
  3997. The methodology may well guarantee anonymity, but do people believe this? I suspect that a lot of people questioned are not convinced that saying something Putin doesn't like is safe. Granted every country has plenty of sheep, who believe whatever their government tells them. But I suspect that a comfortable majority of Russians do not believe Putin, or support what he is doing.
    11
  3998. Putin was hoping that not having Russian gas in winter would sow discord among European allies. He was hoping that destroying Ukraine's power infrastructure would allow the winter to ravage those in Ukraine. Well, winter is over, and Putin's biggest hope has passed.
    11
  3999. Three federal judges who were no doubt very conscious of who pays their wages, and the consequences of displeasing their masters.
    11
  4000. The kind of tears you get from a bully when someone hits them back!
    11
  4001. One of the very few wonderful things about the lockdowns was how peaceful the roads were: very little noise and air pollution from them. MOST people do not need to own a car or drive. Every car forced off the road is a good thing. In years to come we may look on private motorists in the same way that we now look on slave owners.
    11
  4002. No matter which way you look at it, it's Russia's fault. If you use a nuclear power plant from which to shell the other side then the other side has absolutely no choice other than to fire on that plant, because the only alternative is to let the enemy attack them with impunity.
    11
  4003. Because no one is that stupid. Negotiating with Putin would be like Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Adolf Hitler.
    11
  4004. When you look around the world there are plenty of examples of oppressive dictatorships that cannot be voted out of power. There are also plenty of examples of people who protested peacefully against these dictatorships being massacred, or imprisoned and tortured. The ONLY way to remove such despots is by force of arms. Also, as countries like Australia have shown, it is possible for freely elected governments to become despotic tyrants. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance and the willingness to defend it by whatever means necessary.
    11
  4005. Don't be too quick to blame advisors. Most "leaders" work in exactly the same way. You see it all the time in business. A consultant is called into a firm to confirm that what the boss wants to do is exactly the right course of action. 99 times out of a 100 that consultant will have been given big hints about what findings he is to make. In rare instances were the consultant doesn't say what the boss wants to hear he is sacked and another more amenable consultant is hired.
    11
  4006. Most in the UK, and other European countries, would be euphoric at the prospect of mass deportation.
    11
  4007. God, those Russians know how to put on a fireworks display!
    11
  4008. To get things in perspective, at 1.4 billion, 1 million deaths represents just over .07% of the population. This is an incredibly low mortality rate!
    11
  4009. This is so similar to videos you see of farmyard vermin being taken out at night. The only difference is that one might feel a little sympathy for the rats.
    11
  4010. "to your credit" - my arse! Hancock resigned because he would definitely have been sacked if the didn't.
    11
  4011. Gary Lineker is the irrefutable proof that no intelligence is needed to kick a football.
    11
  4012. Made an almost identical comment and YouTube removed it!
    11
  4013. We will probably soon hear that Harvard is awarding Bob Vylan an honorary doctorate.
    11
  4014. Of course, the supreme irony is that probably more than half of the teachers in the girl's school smoked a joint the same week as this was done to her. No wonder they were so familiar with the smell.
    11
  4015. The way that Trump and Vance behaved had much more in common with nasty playground bullies than seasoned statesmen.
    11
  4016. If a missile is launched from some area then flattening that area, in order to protect ones civilian population from further attacks, is a government's solemn duty.
    11
  4017. I'd bet good money that those in Hamas, using these people as human shields, are still eating well!
    11
  4018. Before asking ordinary people to do this, the stinking rich need to do their part. How many large empty rooms are there in Buckingham Palace, Windsor, and so many stately homes? What about all those very large houses in places like South Kensington and Chelsea?
    11
  4019. Further note. The maniac looks like Humza Yousaf.
    11
  4020. They didn't hit anything. All the Russian videos are stock videos, mainly of training exercises.
    11
  4021. For many decades military procurement in the UK has been a pathetic joke. About 40 years ago I went for a job with defense contractor. During the interview I was told about the woes of software development due to memory addressing problems in the CPU being used. My immediate question was why they weren't using the vastly better Motorola processor. Needless to say this question cost me the job.

  4022. If anyone had the slightest doubt that Australia is now run by vicious spiteful children they can now lay their doubts aside. If I was a tennis player in this Open I would withdraw unless Novak was allowed to play, but then I've got a strong sense of decency and honesty.
    11
  4023. Well, just maybe, if you screw the hell out of young people's education and social life, with lockdowns and restrictions, it leads to more crime. Devil makes work for idle hands, and all that. Just a thought.
    10
  4024. Whatever you say, Putin rentboy.
    10
  4025. The damage that Starmer's idiots may have done to relations with the incoming Trump administration is no laughing matter.
    10
  4026. Notice how spotless and clean everything was. That's what I love about Russian MoD movies. No animals or people are ever hurt during their production.
    10
  4027. That would be Reform UK, who I voted for.
    10
  4028. Am I the only one who couldn't stand Diana?
    10
  4029. This has really got the Putin rent boys posting.
    10
  4030. Would the government like to tell us hard-pressed taxpayers what the hell ANY social media apps are doing on government phones or computers? We don't pay civil servants to spend their time on social media: or do we.
    10
  4031. A sad day for science, but 3 years running is very good.
    10
  4032.  @СтарыйПират-б3д  Well at least the crows won't go hungry, and that soil will get fertilized.
    10
  4033. There's a really easy and effective way to ease the pressure on GPs, and it will also make the job much more appealing. Put an end to them having to waste a colossal amount of time on nut jobs!
    10
  4034. So that's at least 600,000 complete idiots who were stupid enough to install the NHS app and still don't have the sense to delete it.
    10
  4035. In so many organisations one finds that those in senior management couldn't actually carry out the tasks that are an organisation's raison d'être.
    10
  4036. This is why Starmer is known as TTK. Of course most of this was true under Rich Boy Sunak.
    10
  4037.  @markgriffiths6797  I honestly believe that if Ukraine falls then Germany will breath a massive sigh of relief, and seriously slow down any moves to become less dependent on Russian gas.
    10
  4038. Hopefully the first of many. Hasta la vista baby.
    10
  4039. On the plus side, Australian's pathetic and irrational panicking is providing the rest of the world with immense entertainment. Us whinging poms are laughing our socks off at the way our former prison colony has once more become a country full of prisoners and warders.
    10
  4040. For young people there are NO BENEFITS to themselves in getting vaccinated.
    10
  4041. So do we now get Hunt with a C, or Rich Boy Sunak, the pension thief?
    10
  4042. The more cases of this EXTREMELY MILD variant, the better. It has the very real potential to generate NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY and end this pandemic.
    10
  4043. 40% on offense and aggression better describes this budgeting.
    10
  4044. How? You right out the results you want beforehand, and read the out at the end: simple.
    10
  4045. Unfortunately Biden's behaviour will encourage foreign governments to test his resolve. If you appear wearing a mask in video conferences it sends out one very clear message: "I am a snowflake wanker". One would have thought that some of his advisors would have strongly recommended that he doesn't do this.
    10
  4046. Trump's reputation has just improved massively!
    10
  4047. Of course, there is absolutely no evidence that this downturn is due to lockdowns and restrictions, rather than simply being a natural fluctuation. Due to a combination of people becoming immune, some being taken out by the virus, and the network of connections between groups of people we would expect infection numbers to oscillate. But innumerate schmucks credit lockdowns and restrictions with the downturns, and lifting them with the upturns. It isn't that simple, and frightened snowflakes wishing it were doesn't make it so.
    10
  4048. "At least" is a good choice of words. Non-Russian reports suggest it might be a lot more, along with a goodly number of Orc pilots. Ukraine has done a fantastic job, and I hope it's the first of many more to come.
    10
  4049. Covid, no matter what the variant, has never been a big deal. The IFR is less than 0.3% and those who recover from it get excellent long lasting natural immunity.
    10
  4050. Israel is absolutely right in feeling the the UN is biased against it. Listening to Guterres' "not in a vacuum" comment it's easy to envisage someone making excuses for the Holocaust.
    10
  4051. To be honest, I'm amazed that no one has set these encampments alight, or are the police protecting them.
    10
  4052. One you give in to nuclear blackmail it will be used again and again, and not just by Russia!
    10
  4053. Another Putin rent boy in love with him.
    10
  4054. Yep, hopefully we will soon see the hordes of Orcs being slaughtered and driven back into Mordor.
    10
  4055. And girls, don't forget it's a frog you might try kissing, not a toad.
    10
  4056. Best entertainment of the day! 🤣🤣🤣
    10
  4057. Very nice. It looks like there's plenty of roast Orc on the menu.
    10
  4058. It's way past time to acknowledge the science, and accept that natural immunity is vastly better than vaccine induced immunity. If there are going to be any mandates of this sort they should be based on immunity, regardless of how it was achieved.
    10
  4059. And yet there are people who have never done a day's work in their life that have been raking it in for decades!
    10
  4060. Even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested using remote Scottish islands to hold illegal immigrants. This would be much cheaper than what we are paying the French and Rwanda, and the private hotels. It would also make the UK much less attractive.
    10
  4061. Someone speaking sense for a change. As I'm fairly certain I had covid-19 on Christmas Day 2019 I haven't bothered with any vaccine, and if I turn out to be wrong I don't expect any sympathy at all. People who are at risk have been offered the vaccine. Why should the more than 99% of us for whom the virus poses no risk have their lives screwed up because of the CHOICE these people made?
    10
  4062. The middle of the Atacama desert, with no food or water, is where I'd like to transport them.
    10
  4063. Yes! And they are sitting on a ticking timebomb for future autoimmune diseases.
    10
  4064. There's a whole fleet full of Orcs, in the Black Sea, just begging to be sent to the bottom on a special operation to de-Nazify the seabed.
    10
  4065. It costs a LOT to keep a fighter jet in the air. Giving joyrides to porkers is an egregious waste of public money!
    10
  4066. How can Israel, which has a sacred duty to protect its population, do otherwise? Hamas have vowed to repeat the barbaric atrocities of 7th Oct again and again.
    10
  4067. Damn. I don't think any Orcs were killed.
    10
  4068. Wouldn't it be great if this turned into a full on turkey shoot.
    10
  4069. Thomas, it's sad, but as many people could tell you no matter how well you bring up your kids, and how much love you shower on them, some do turn into nasty nut jobs. You were one of the unlucky ones, as was Charlie.
    10
  4070. And making Rich Boy Sunak, who CHEATED millions of poor OAPs out of their rightful pension rise, PM is in the public interest?
    10
  4071. Looks very like the video Russia published a few months ago. I suspect the only spraying going on is something it would be rude to mention.
    10
  4072. I think most of us know that Randy Andy wasn't one to leave John Thomas hanging limply unemployed. However when looking at that now infamous picture two things strike me. Firstly it was taken in the UK where the age of consent is 16: and the protagonist was 17. Also, like so many others, I see a girl who looks really happy and was probably having the time of her life. She flew to London in absolute luxury, and got to live the high life and party with the rich and famous. The only lesson I take from this is that a 17 year old who seems happy and fun loving may later morph into something truly hideous: rather like a butterfly turning back into a caterpillar.
    10
  4073. Rich Boy Sunak's priorities? Make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
    10
  4074. Should be somewhat easier now that the Kerch Bridge has been seriously damaged. Might be easier still if those last two lanes can be taken down.
    10
  4075. Ah, but there are many millions of spineless covid snowflakes hanging on their every word.
    10
  4076. The bottom line is that Starmer is keeping Boris in No. 10.
    10
  4077. One can't help but be reminded of the incredibly brave fight that Ukrainians put up against the Russian Nazis in the city of Mariupol.
    10
  4078. A whole 25 cases, out of which it's extremely unlikely a single one will die. Quickly put on the headless chicken outfit and start running round screaming "it's the end of the world, we're all going to die".
    10
  4079. There are millions who this latest propaganda charade has just pissed off. What I'd like people to remember is all those who have had their businesses and jobs destroyed. Dreams and years of hard work destroyed by insane lockdowns that don't work. Does no one feel the slightest guilt about the way this cowardly and selfish society has sacrificed its young people? Their education has been buggered to hell, and many have suffered mental health problems. Now lets do a little maths. The well accepted IFR for covid-19 is about 0.3%, and the government's own figure for the number infected to date is about 4.2 million. 4,200,000 X 0.003 = 12,600 expected deaths. That's about ONE TENTH the number that the government is telling us have died. The maths doesn't lie, but the government most certainly does, and this is but one of their many lies fabricated to frighten people into accepting dictatorship.
    10
  4080. ​ @ZuhairKhan-e3n  The mother was also there so she should have helped try and get the baby out, rather than watching.
    10
  4081. I'd rather protect foxes than single mothers with lots of kids who have never done a day's work in their lives!
    10
  4082. Keir Starmer would make sure that his human rights and immigration lawyer buddies had enough work to enable them to stuff their wallets to bursting point.
    10
  4083.  @clarkalton989  I certainly wouldn't want one like yours.🤣
    10
  4084. Ha, as usual, this charity founder looks as if she has got fat on the proceeds of running it.
    10
  4085. Of course MPs should be worried. Everybody knows that when it comes to offences committed by Muslims in the UK the police very often turn a blind eye.
    10
  4086. My money is firmly on unnecessary lockdown repercussions and giving people who didn't need it poorly tested vaccines.
    10
  4087. The warm welcome that Rostov gave to Wagner soldiers shows that there is a golden opportunity for an ambitious Russian general, with loyal men, to "remove" Putin from power.
    10
  4088. Just imagine how far and how quickly the Orcs would be pushed back if proper use was made of cluster munitions!
    10
  4089. ​ @shalimar1792  And they have integrated WELL into every country they moved to, AND contributed very strongly to their host country!
    10
  4090. Dumber makes it easier for politicians.
    10
  4091. That's like being desperate to hang on to syphilis.
    10
  4092. Many would like to see Dan Andrews "retired" Blade Runner style!
    10
  4093. It's a special operation to reduce the size of the Russian army.🤣
    10
  4094. I wonder how good they are at hitting fairly small drones.
    10
  4095. If these Orcs were smart, or even had a shred of decency, they would have surrendered, and still be alive.
    10
  4096. So, taking as an example what's happened in the UK, if I suggested that a certain group of child rapists should get the Theon Greyjoy treatment then in Oz this would qualify me for jail time.
    10
  4097. I always find myself comparing Putin with Gorbachev. The first was nothing but a third-rate desk jockey in the KGB, whereas the second actually ran it. Is it any wonder then that Putin desperately wants to completely destroy Gorbachev's legacy?
    10
  4098. Welcome to Britain where everything is done on the cheap. Years ago, when I very regularly traveled between Leeds and London, overhead lines used to come down with reasonable frequency. I was told that there was an engineering standard for how far apart the supports should be placed in order to avoid exactly this, but that to save money they were placed further apart in Britain.
    10
  4099. Did Putin send you your daily banana allowance?
    10
  4100. The rapid reopening of the bridge without a proper safety inspection, which could take weeks, shows just how important this bridge is to Putin.
    10
  4101. Being told that you are unequivocally wrong is one of the reasons why so many people hate mathematics, and the physical sciences. This is one of the reasons why these subjects are so vastly superior to the extremely popular Noddy degrees, where everyone's opinion is right.
    10
  4102. As mentioned there is still a massive orc infestation to be cleared, including Crimea. So there's no room for complacency.
    10
  4103. At last, someone telling it as it is. So much of what goes down is because terrorist states believe that they will not suffer retaliation for their atrocities. It's inaction that leads to escalation!
    10
  4104. I'm betting that all the "naughty" words have now been removed from new editions of books like Huckleberry Finn. Years ago a lot of us used to tell the very worst non-PC jokes, of all sorts, not because we were far right extremists, but precisely because of the finger wagging from the Woke brigade.
    10
  4105. If the mechanism for these excess deaths is what people like me think it might be then you can add a few decades onto your estimate. I'm expecting to see increased rates of Type I diabetes well into the future, and also a lot more early onset dementia. I'm sure others could add other autoimmune disorders to these.
    10
  4106. If this is coal that we would have otherwise bought in then IN REALITY we would be responsible for just as much emissions, and maybe even more due to transport from abroad.
    10
  4107. Which is also why its a very safe bet that this law won't be enforced.
    10
  4108. It's unlikely that as much can be exported this way. So preference should be given to countries that have condemned Putin.
    10
  4109. Ah, brave Sergei visiting a training camp. That's about as close as he will ever get to the front line.
    10
  4110. Just cut NI loose from the Union. Most of us really don't want these squabbling bigots, and the grief they bring with them!
    10
  4111. For me a train would be a wonderful target, no matter how heavily armoured it was, because I wouldn't try to blow it or the rails up. I would derail it. Clamp strips of iron or steel (and also super glue them) to the same side of each rail. This should cause the train to derail to the opposite side. You do the clamping from underneath the tracks so that it is very hard to spot. Derailment, specially at the right location is likely to result in lots of fatalities.
    10
  4112.  @LawrenceReitan  They won't. When Putin travelled to Iran there was an excellent opportunity to down his plane, but it was squandered.
    10
  4113. Don't cry too much, Putin fan boy.🤣
    10
  4114. Why not impose massive fines for illegal parking and littering; then employ a few wardens to enforce them. Not only might this solve the problem, it could also turn a profit for the community.
    10
  4115. Calling Starmer duplicitous is rather like saying that Adolf had a mild dislike for the Jews.
    10
  4116. Am I the only one who thinks that the C. of E. could better spend that money on some of their parishioners who are in truly desperate need?
    10
  4117. I guess that's another seagull de-Nazified.
    10
  4118. Many of us have suspected for a long time that this is Starmer's true nature.
    10
  4119. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    10
  4120. When all the men there receive their call-up papers, very soon, the rest of the world will be cheering and laughing heartily.
    10
  4121. If it were allowed to take many years people would ask why the Covid mRNA vaccines were rushed out in such a short period. The government is determined that most people never ask this question, and so is doubling down: on their health and safety.
    10
  4122. The trouble is that it's a bit like welcoming your new neighbour after you have smashed his windows and crapped on his porch just before he moves in.
    10
  4123. All these ministers only care about their own position, and whatever troughs they and their mates have got their snouts in, so I wouldn't hold my breath on this.
    10
  4124. Time that the UK's corrupt MPs also learnt to stand against tyranny.
    10
  4125. Yep, telling the truth is against parliamentary rules. Go stand in the corner and write one thousand times. "Boris is honest. Boris always tells the truth."
    10
  4126. For failing to investigate their new computer system these people should be JAILED. It's very well known that EVERY large new computer system has problems that need ironing out.
    10
  4127. There are lots of American, British and Polish pilots who would love to fly those jets themselves and clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    10
  4128. What a wonderful choice. It's like having to choose between the chap who is going to push splints under your finger nails, and the other one who is going to rip them out with pliers.
    10
  4129. The only boost that Burton cares about is Moderna's bottom line.
    10
  4130. I don't think even Hitler had German kids doing things like this. I've got to hand it to Putin, just when you think he can't stoop any lower he surprises you.
    10
  4131. Well, you can now buy stickers with Putin's face on to stick on doggy poo tins.
    10
  4132. Can anyone even recall the BBC so much as criticising Hamas?
    10
  4133. Sorry, but no one forced these 3 to go to Gaza. I'm mourning all those innocent Israelis of the 7th Oct, who did absolutely nothing to deserve what happened to them. I'm concerned for all those Jews, especially women and children, living under a constant threat while Hamas exists.
    10
  4134. You still have a very good situation. Remember it's not the number of infections that count, but the number of hospitalisations and deaths. I now fly the Swedish flag outside my house in honour of the only country that handled this pandemic properly.
    10
  4135.  @edithuszka3324  Ukraine isn't Russia's business!
    10
  4136.  @amandamcneill6111  There's a thought that's just put me off my dinner.
    10
  4137. You would be hard-pressed to find a nurse or doctor that can't give you plenty of examples of massive overstaffing in NHS management and administration, along with often obscenely high remuneration for these people.
    10
  4138. The expression "defending the indefensible" immediately springs to mind.
    10
  4139. Germany had a nice clean option. Recommission all those nuclear power plants that it should never have shut down in the first place.
    10
  4140. Dream on, Putin fanboy.
    10
  4141. I didn't have to pull them apart, but I can remember one instance where a big rugby player got up and was about to thump another kid who was persistently very annoying. It was with a very heavy heart that I did the right thing and stopped this happening.
    10
  4142. Let me tell you about a conversation I had with my surgeon, over 30 years ago, when I was having a hernia repair. He told me that if it weren't for his private work he would be sitting on his hands a lot of the time for want of a free operating theartre. Does anyone think things have got better since then? This is the kind of thing neither Labour nor the Tories will tell you about.
    10
  4143. Of course they will get down to business. The business of destroying private education, and taking money from those who have scrimped and saved, rather than irresponsibly squandering their earnings on fast cars, holidays and nights out.
    10
  4144. Do you really think this Labour government gives a damn how many people sign such petitions?
    10
  4145. Years ago I planted Californian poppies in my front garden, in the UK. They have been putting on a gorgeous display ever since.
    10
  4146. The ship is already sinking fast with water washing over the bridge, and Sunak in the crow's nest saying everything is fine because he's still dry.
    10
  4147. To be honest, I don't give a damn about the Jubilee.
    10
  4148. Hope there were a few Orcs inside when the tank was hit.
    10
  4149. Whether HS2 is extended to Manchester might be debatable, but whether it comes all the way into Euston is not. Only a complete imbecile would leave what's meant to be a high speed inter city link on the outskirts of a city, where getting there would wipe out any benefit. This is doubly so when one considers how much work and expense has already gone into bringing the link into Euston.
    10
  4150. This bloody enquiry should be focusing far more on whether the insanely damaging lockdowns were necessary (they weren't!) than on who disregarded them.
    10
  4151. From the day that the Shah was deposed, in 1979, we should have kept Iran in it's box!
    10
  4152. Just when you think this country can't sink any lower!
    10
  4153. An excellent way for many Tory MPs to salvage some credibility, and retain their seats, would be for them to join Reform UK.
    10
  4154. Well, Germany has finally started sending the heavy weapons it promised. With Putrid turning off their gas this should encourage them to deliver the rest, and quickly, because the only way they will get that gas back now (or want it back) is when Putrid buys the farm.
    10
  4155. We shouldn't forget that it' thanks to organizations like Amnesty International that the Taliban are back. People like them wanted Guantanamo Bay closed. People like them wanted brave Royal Marine soldiers jailed. And people like them would have squealed if our soldiers had been allowed to do their job properly: such as wiping out Taliban strongholds in Pakistan.
    10
  4156. Only a complete fool would now fail to recognise that the Tories are finished. Unless we want an eternity of Labour governments then we desperately need an alternative like Reform UK, and we need to get behind it. Come next election a Conservative vote is a vote flushed down the toilet!
    10
  4157. Nice to see Ukraine making good use of those missiles. Now what about taking out the Kerch bridge properly, which will make Putin cry.
    10
  4158. Actually, having worked for the Home Office, I can assure you that there is indeed a staggering amount of incompetence and laziness.
    10
  4159. France is right about Britain being to blame by being far too willing to turn a blind eye to those working illegally, and far too willing to spend the money of hard-working taxpayers on people who have never contributed a penny to British society. If Britain wasn't such a soft touch these people wouldn't try to come here!
    10
  4160. Perhaps, rather than whining about having a ceasefire the UN should be demanding that Hamas stop using children as human shields: which they seem to do a lot!
    10
  4161. Think of it like this. When a car breaks down it simply stops. If its flying it falls out of the sky!
    10
  4162. But sing "who's that dying on the runway" at a Leeds football match and the police will be on you in a flash.
    10
  4163.  @williamyoung9401  Hate to disappoint you but at that size it would be no big deal.
    10
  4164. Those bodies aren't lost they are deliberately disposed of. Their relatives back in Russia are told that they are alive and well and that the "special operation" is like a holiday for them.
    10
  4165. So true, but a jelly fish has more spine than Sunak.
    10
  4166. Years ago even Tony Blair suggested that illegals be detained on some remote Scottish island. Not only would this be much cheaper, it would not be vulnerable to legal challenges, and it would be a massive deterrent. Most illegals would much rather stay in France than face this.
    10
  4167. You know what, Boris? We could ride it out even better if you ditched Plan B and Plan A as well!
    10
  4168. We are dealing with the same kind of rabid animals that butchered 22,000 Polish Officers in Katyn: and this was not an isolated incident. The Russian army hasn't changed since then.
    10
  4169. Forget James Bond, because if the CIA is anything like GCHQ then they would not be attracting the best people. I remember, ages ago, seeing an advert recruiting for GCHQ. The time between applying for a position and getting a job beggared belief. Anyone with real ambition would have walked into a really well paying private firm in a tiny fraction of the time. GCHQ might have well have advertised "losers apply here".
    10
  4170. The trouble is that all but the feeble minded now know that you cannot believe a word this government says. So when a minister says there is no fuel shortage the sensible thing to do is deduce that there is indeed one. That's not being stupid, it's learning from ones experience in how this government works.
    10
  4171. Looks like goodbye Boris. Unfortunately those lined up to take his place are as bad, if not worse.
    10
  4172. I was degusted to see a jumped-up minister, with a Noddy degree from a second rate university, having the presumption to think he knows better than a highly experienced consultant with a proper medical degree.
    10
  4173. The ONLY way to stop these barbaric attacks on defenceless women and children is to take out the sites from where they are being launched, regardless of whether they are in occupied areas or deep inside Russia. Ukraine needs to be VERY QUICKLY given the means to do this.
    10
  4174.  @joeylopez7978  Nice try Putin fanboy.
    10
  4175. Even when spare parts and proper maintenance weren't an issue nobody's first choice was a Russian airline.
    10
  4176. My favourite has to be the removal of the quick checkout counter for people with less than 10 items. Yesterday, in Tesco, with only 3 items, I had to wait behind several people with packed shopping trollies. The queue for the automated checkouts was even longer.
    10
  4177. They also want them to have intelligence and integrity. Both of which are conspicuously missing in Sunak and his cabinet!
    10
  4178. That's exactly what those of us, who don't have our heads in the sand, said would happen weeks ago. If civilians in Gaza had any sense they would turn in those who use them as human shields and steal aid intended for them.
    10
  4179.  @Doobiescoo18  Yep, they are among the bed wetters.
    10
  4180. I have absolutely no sympathy for the vast majority who submit themselves to cosmetic surgery, whether overseas or in the UK. If it were something necessary like polyp or wart removal I could understand, but most of the time it's completely frivolous.
    10
  4181. Call me an old dinosaur, but I've always taken the attitude that you employ whoever you think will do the job best, regardless of race or gender.
    10
  4182. One would have thought that Ukraine would have learnt from last year that it can't stop for the winter. That's what gave the Russians the opportunity to put so many defences in place. People like me predicted exactly this, and it came to pass. It's bad enough that Ukraine didn't understand that this would happen, but repeating the same mistake again would be unforgiveable. If Ukraine is serious about getting rid of the Orcs then it absolutely has to keep on fighting throughout the autumn and winter!
    10
  4183. There are so many comments like yours that get posted, and that most of us agree with. But YouTube removes almost all of them very quickly.
    10
  4184. If the rebels care about the Syrian people then they won't allow Russian war criminals to escape justice for the countless atrocities they have committed in Syria.
    10
  4185. In case you hadn't noticed, the vast majority of MPs, including cabinet ministers, aren't very bright.
    10
  4186. This looks like a job for Navy Seals, using rebreather apparatus to stealthily transport a large shaped explosive charge to take out a support pillar from under the water. A good dive team could deal with all of Russia's defensive measures, and would be next to impossible to detect if the operation was carried out at night.
    10
  4187. Yep. Crocodiles everywhere are sobbing their hearts out.
    10
  4188. Funny how Prigozhin also claims that Russian troops are running away, like frightened little girls.
    10
  4189. And those who sacked them should themselves now be sacked!
    10
  4190. If this means tourists can get unlimited rail travel in the whole Germany for just 49 euro then this could seriously boost tourism.
    10
  4191. OK, maybe 200 deaths per day in a month's time, but let's get this in perspective. On average about 1650 people die everyday in the UK, and probably most of those 200 are going to belong to that 1650. So in relative terms we have a very small number of deaths. And don't forget that the IFR has been shown to be comparable to that of flu in a bad season. Now, let's put the exponential growth to bed. As any half-decent high school stats student will tell you, interpolating on a curve is OK, but extrapolating is very dodgy indeed, because there's a good chance the curve would not be the shape you think if you could see its extrapolated regions. And as any high school biology student will tell you, the sigma growth curve looks very like exponential growth until it very suddenly flattens out. And this is what happens to all biological entities because of environmental constraints. In the case of this virus that's access to new people to infect. The new people are limited by those that are now immune, or the fact that we have networks of people, so the virus often encounters the same it has already infected, again and again. So, in fact, our projected exponential curve could very well turn a corner, and flatten off at any time: well before another month. Now let's be realistic about the vaccines that politicians and snowflakes are betting the family jewels on. Firstly we are unlikely to see one generally available until at least the second quarter of next year. Secondly it's not that unlikely that more than half the population won't take it. For most people the risk from covid-19 is negligible, so what rational person would risk taking a vaccine that's been developed in less than a quarter of the normal time. And only a complete fool would accept the government's assurances on safety. Remember their assurances on mad cow disease, and salmonella in eggs. The bottom line is that, no matter how much governments and snowflakes dislike it, we have to live with this virus, as we do with so many others. This means that the vast majority need their old normal lives back. Only the genuinely vulnerable and the paranoid snowflakes should be self isolating. We really need to emulate the sensible Swedes, because nothing else is sustainable.

  4192. Welcome to hell, Orcs.

  4193. As a teacher I really don't care what colour or nationality a child is as long as they behave well and work hard.
    10
  4194. What percentage of people, many of whom work vastly harder than MPs, earn £84,144 or more? If there was any hope of getting strikers to reduce their pay claims then this has probably blown it out of the water. If those in parliament gave a toss about the mess this country is in then they would have insisted on a pay freeze.
    10
  4195. This can't happen if proper safeguards are put in place AND enforced: 1. A good working knowledge of English is required. 2. The course itself is vetted and approved for foreign students 3. Attendance a passing of exams is required.

  4196. Those who can do. Those who can't turn to religion and say a prayer!

  4197. Great to hear they have reached Ukraine. Now people need to really get their finger out and deliver them to the front line. Clearing the Orcs out of their trenches can't come soon enough.
    10
  4198. He might well have been. Do you think Russia would admit it?
    10
  4199. To pour petrol on the fire, most schools won't employ older more experienced teachers, who cost more, and are much harder to bully. If you are a parent take a good look at how many older teachers there are in your kid's school. Also, schools discourage applications by insisting that applicants spend half a day filling in their own "special" application form, rather than accepting a CV and covering letter: the gold standard for real professionals.

  4201. In the "heat of the moment" I was tempted to suggest something more radical, but TTK would jail me for it.
    10
  4202. It's bad enough that countries have to put up with leaches who hold the nationality of that country. However if someone comes from another country then staying should be conditional upon them contributing to that country, and those who sponge off it should be deported.
    10
  4203. It's unmistakably Chopin, and well worth the discovery.
    10
  4204. With possibly the most stable tectonics in the world, and one of the richest Uranium supplies, Australians have to barking not to embrace clean efficient nuclear power. Sadly, as in most countries, politicians are not elected for their piercing intellect and integrity.

  4207. Have doctors never heard of solidarity and standing up in support of your colleagues? This kind of thing is only possible when everybody else ducks and hides!
    10
  4208. Should also have been asking "what's your real name". Grifters often use false names, and I'm guessing Marlene Headley didn't think her real name would attract as many schmucks.

  4213. Every time I, like you, suggest something along the lines of a "full English" YouTube keep removing the comment. Hell, you can't even criticise Putin without YouTube removing your comment!
    10
  4214. How? Breathtaking incompetence! It takes just a few seconds to look under a vehicle before letting it out. This should have been part of standard security procedure.

  4219. Am I the only one who wants to see the active pipelines, that are bringing in lots of revenue for Russia, suffer "accidents"? Also if countries like Hungary lost all hope of receiving Russian gas then they might start to pull their weight in the good fight.
    10
  4220. Not long ago we heard the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" talking tough. Now it's time for them to walk the walk!

    10
  4222. There are other good private schools in London. if I were a parent I'd immediately change my kids school, AND spread the word as to why.
    10
  4223. Well Sunak learnt his trade at the feet of his former master Boris. Promise the Earth, but deliver bugger all!
    10
  4224. It's so incredibly important that those two shopping malls that were burnt down in Moscow are quickly followed up with MANY more attacks. This is the ONLY to bring home to the Russian people the realities of war. Paradoxically it might also greatly reduce the likelihood of a nuclear war, as most Russians currently have zero focus on what it's like to be attacked, and may even feel invulnerable.
    10
  4225. ​ @Жидкий-к5ч  Ah, one of Putin's fanboys, or should that be rent boys.
    10
  4226. Maybe he should be more sorry about the tens of thousands who lost their businesses, and the millions of young people who had their education and mental health buggered to hell, all because of totally unnecessary and completely ineffective lockdowns.
    10
  4227. The Belarus army is a bit of a joke, and its loyalty to Lukashenko might be questionable. So he may want to employ Wagner to stay in Belarus and keep him in power, rather than attack Ukraine.
    10
  4228. All civilians, of course. The Russians get their Orc arses badly kicked when they go up against soldiers.
    10
  4229. Those who feel healthy should not be isolating at all! In particular, doctors and nurses, who feel well enough, will do vastly more good by going into work and helping people.
    10
  4230. While I can understand not wanting to leave your home, which you may have lived in for many years and invested almost everything in, those staying put might be hindering the removal of the Orcs from Ukraine.
    10
  4231. Nice to see young people get their nightclubs back.
    10
  4232. Why doesn't Labour go after benefit fraudsters instead of pensioners? It would bring in vastly more money. We all KNOW that it's impossible that anywhere near the number of 9.4 million of working age who are not working are genuinely unfit to work.
    10
  4233. Years ago when Lebanon was completely under the control of Christians it was a very safe and peaceful country and was known as the "Jewel of the Middle East".
    10
  4234. It's like watching the allies march into Paris to free the French from the Vichy government. It's just a shame that when the truckers arrive they can't meet out the kind of justice that the collaborators got!
    10
  4235. Yet more diversity and cultural enrichment.
    10
  4236. SNP now stands for Scottish Numpty Party.
    10
  4237. They have the option to surrender voluntarily to Ukrainian forces. If they do this they are well treated and get to live.
    10
  4238. Ironically it's overwhelmingly his own fans that Putin is starving.
    10
  4239. It's entertaining, unless you are a Putin fanboy.
    10
  4240. I'll have to give the Russians this. They are good at hiding, and running.
    10
  4241. I remember my late uncle, many years ago, remarking that my mother always seemed to end up buying a house on a hill.
    10
  4242. And yet Zelensky leaves Moscow in peace. Will he ever understand that these attacks are the direct result of Russia not suffering proper repercussions?
    10
  4243. Lucy Connolly's tweet was heat of the moment, and didn't call for anyone to be killed. Yet she was quickly arrested and jailed for 31 months. Bob Vylan's action, calling for people to be killed was also premeditated, yet he is still walking free. We also regularly hear of those contributing to our diversity being given derisory sentences, sometimes less than 31 months for truly vile sex crimes. The term "British justice" is now an oxymoron!
    10
  4244. Take away kids' free bus passes, and make it as hard as possible for parents to do a school run. Getting a lot more kids walking and cycling to school would be a good start on cutting down on obesity. Also, in case people haven't noticed, PE and sport in schools has gone to hell. The large playing field outside Enfield County girls' school gets hardly any use, and when you do see any students in it they are usually hardly moving at all.
    10
  4245. For the sake of decent kids who want to learn I hope that "inclusive" doesn't mean keeping highly disruptive kids in class. Unlike Phillipson, I'm a qualified and experienced teacher. I know for a fact that all it takes is just one bad kid to destroy lessons for the rest of the class.
    10
  4246. Well that's what happens when you elect a bunch of vicious vindictive morons.
    10
  4247. When a tank isn't moving don't you just hate the thought that there might not be any Orcs inside to get roasted.
    10
  4248. But YouTube will ban his channel if he so much utters the word mRNA.
    10
  4249. Use the cluster munitions! They aren't mantlepiece ornaments and are really effective for this sort of thing. It will also save the lives of brave Ukrainian soldiers.
    10
  4250. ​@Traiano Wellcome Try remembering when he tripped down some steps and soiled himself in front of everybody.🤣
    10
  4251. What this deceitful, dishonourable, and highly dishonest PM neglects to mention is that Omicron probably hasn't put a single person into ICU, and that most were probably already there BEFORE Omicron got going.
    10
  4252. I'm not condoning or celebrating this. However things like this, and the IRA's destruction of the NatWest Tower, make you wonder why Ukraine hasn't inflicted some serious damage on Moscow.
    10
  4253. Couldn't agree more. Spending years at college, and a ton of money, to get a degree in something like restroom management is one hell of a waste.
    10
  4254. He was bullied into resigning.🤣🤣🤣
    10
  4255. A quick death is too good for them.
    10
  4256. The vaccine minister told us very recently that there would be no vaccine passports. Is he now going to turn out to be as big a liar as Boris?
    10
  4257. Most of the world loves the RUSSIAN who delivered this bomb.
    10
  4258. The Australia Closed needs Novak, not the other way around. Without him it's a farce and it will be a hollow victory for the winner of the Mens'. In a few months time Novak can count on a hero's welcome at a proper tennis tournament. Wimbledon will welcome him with open arms.
    10
  4259. I just made a similar point. People are allowed to keep dogs that are far more dangerous than even a wild bobcat. There's a very good reason for that old adage about the law being an ass.
    10
  4260. In the USA honest judges have been striking down vaccine mandates left, right and centre. Unfortunately our Supreme Court judges are corrupt!
    10
  4261. As the research now clearly shows, those who have recovered from covid-19 do not need a mask. They ARE immune, so it's a totally unnecessary imposition. As for the rest, it's looking more and more like this virus is no worse than most bad flu pandemics. We didn't f**k with people's lives then so why should people accept it now. In fact the more that governments can get away with now, the more ready they will be in the future to trample on people's freedoms. Are most really too stupid to realise that what's going on now is partially an experiment in just how much freedom and liberty people will surrender. I expect we would have to go back to Nazi Germany for the last time a Western European country curtailed rights to this degree in peacetime.
    10
  4262. For ages I've been suggesting the use of remote Scottish islands: St. Kilda comes to mind.
    10
  4263. Let's be very clear on this. Ukraine is fully aware of how nasty cluster munitions are, but it only intends to use them in its own territory: and also intends to make a major effort to clean them up after the territory is liberated. For Ukraine these weapons are by far a lesser evil than not being able to clear the Orc infestation as quickly as possible. There use WILL SAVE many Ukrainian lives!
    10
  4264. Considering how we earlier saw Prigozhin regularly cursing his lack of supplies, this hand in of copious arms is probably just another in a very long list of Kremlin lies.
    10
  4265. Maybe, like the Monty Python accountant, I'm a very boring person. But I'm struggling to think of any facts about me that would seriously bother me if they were made public.
    10
  4266. The government should thank its lucky stars that those running the unions are just as thick as them. If they weren't then unions would call all-out indefinite strikes right now, before the legislation goes through, AND make withdrawing it one of their conditions for ending strikes. Isn't Rich Boy Sunak lucky that someone like me isn't a union heavy hitter?
    10
  4267. Isn't it nice of the Orcs to donate weapons to Ukraine?
    10
  4268. Hopefully we will soon be asking "who was".
    10
  4269. You need special training to drive an Italian tank forward, as it's extremely hard to find the one forward gear among the dozen reverse gear.
    10
  4270. Does anyone really expect Putin not to interfere in Georgia's elections.
    10
  4271. If we were dealing with Poles or Ukrainians then they would jump at the opportunity to overthrow a seriously weakened regime. But, like the Afghans, Iranians expect other to fight and die for THEIR freedom.
    10
  4272. For many, many years banks and building societies would only lend about 3½ times income, and speculative buy-to-let lending was unknown. This prudent control on lending kept house prices at affordable levels, because you can't charge prices higher than people can get the money to pay (notice that I didn't say "than people can afford"). Irresponsible lending is by far the main cause of today's problems. Yes, it's going to be very hard to put the genie back in the bottle, but prudent lending needs to return, along with a housing price crash that will once again give young people a fair chance of owning their own home.
    10
  4273. Which job do most people think requires more intelligence, and is much harder, a nurse or a train driver? I would say the former. Yet despite train drivers already earning far more than nurses they received a 15% pay rise.
    10
  4274. Perhaps all the money India spent on nuclear weapons should have gone into irrigation and water transportation projects?
    10
  4275. The trouble is that the other half of Plan B has already sent hundreds, if not thousands, of hospitality businesses to the wall. They were totally reliant on those Christmas parties, and other season business to survive.
    10
  4276. A very small installment on the payback owed!
    10
  4277. I suppose you get 31 months in jail if you say burn the boats.
    10
  4278. Ukraine needs to be given the weapons so that they can strike railways, fuel depots, and troop build ups on the RUSSIAN side of the border. It's vastly better tactics to prevent your enemy assembling a well organised force than to have to later fight a well organised force.
    10
  4279. I, on the contrary, feel I am doing the right thing by discouraging two particular groups from getting the vaccine. The first group is those who have had covid-19. Even if your infection has been asymptomatic you will now be immune, and that immunity lasts as long as it has so far be possible to test for. So even if the risk posed by vaccination is very small there is no logical reason to take any chance at all. The second group is young people, probably anyone under about 40. Almost all of these people who contract covid-19 will experience symptoms that are less bother than a bad cold. However they will then achieve natural immunity. But here's the thing. These vaccines typically presents just one antigen to your immune system whereas if you get covid-19 your immune system will have been exposed to the whole virus. What this means is that there is a good chance that natural immunity may well be far better than that given by vaccination. It may well last a lot longer (even a lifetime) and may protect better against variants and similar future viruses. By getting vaccinated you forgo the chance of this happening.
    10
  4280. It's a shame that buildings have to be destroyed to rid them of Orc infestation.
    10
  4281. Well, you see, in the past there were lots of peaceful protests. But the Gestapo police used tear gas and water cannons on those peaceful protestors. As the saying goes: "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"
    10
  4282. I do feel a bit sorry for ginger haired men and boys. It can't be wonderful when the first thing that now comes to many peoples mind is a pathetic, spoiled whinger. I wonder if Charlie had a DNA test done. As ginger hair isn't a family trait, maybe Harry isn't really his son, and can be disowned.
    9
  4283. These videos remind me so much of those I've seen about farmyard vermin being taken out at night. Of course, the rats don't know they are doing anything wrong, and so are more deserving of sympathy than these Orcs.

  4284. Hope there were some orcs in it.
    9
  4285. Let's be brutally honest. Projects that grossly overrun in time and cost seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Occasionally this is due to an unforeseeable difficulty. But most of the time it's down to incompetent and corrupt managers, who should never have been put in charge in the first place. And by far the biggest reason for costs spiraling is the hiring of very poor staff and contractors in a very misguided attempt to save money.
    9
  4286. Any form of immunisation certificate allows people to be coerced into getting vaccinated, by providing the means to discriminate against those who choose not to be. For many people this effectively makes vaccination mandatory. As such are Law Lords need to make the issue of such certificates in the UK illegal.
    9
  4287. This happens in so many places. Parasitic bosses, that do no work, and often even hinder the real work, get paid obscene amounts of money.

  4292. If these tanks are working then they might be able to get really close to the convoy and do a lot of damage before it's realised that they are not manned by Russians. This would be incredibly bad for moral, as Russian soldiers would then start worrying about their own tanks.

  4297. And they call Zelensky a comedian. As if Putin doesn't constantly attack Ukraine as much as he possibly can.

  4298. Starmer himself bears equal responsibility for this economic debacle. Its fundamental cause is the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. In the face of staunch Tory backbench opposition they would not have been possible if it wasn't for the unstinting support that Starmer gave to No.10!

  4299. Considering the size of India's population this number is insignificant. More than this die everyday in India.

  4300. Regardless of the allegations, why has Sunak appointed an incredibly thick ex fireplace salesman to his cabinet?

  4301. Basically there's a very old saying that sums it up: "no taxation without representation". If you pay taxes then you should have a right to vote. Equally, many of the British benefit scroungers, who have never contributed anything to society, and only take from the rest of us, should be stripped of their right to vote.

  4309.  @lmaoroflcopter  You are talking naïve nonsense. It's common knowledge that there has been a tsunami of mental health issues due to lockdowns and government propaganda lies that have terrified so many. Friends and family haven't failed these people. Their poor mental state is entirely the government's fault!

  4310. Most of us worked that out a couple of months back. The only one who hasn't is Trump himself.

  4311. I honestly believe that the government, using police like the Gestapo in the last 18 months, have very seriously damaged the police's relations with the public. Mind you it's nothing compared to how the police in Australia are currently behaving.
    9
  4312. It's way past time NATO pilots were flying the skies of Ukraine, and God only knows there are no shortage of them itching to do just that. Apart from throwing a tantrum and making empty threats Putin is in no position to do anything about it. As well as protecting against air strikes, just think how quickly they could help clean out the Orc trenches.

  4318. Actually, not much of a leader. Sunak was the least bad choice of his party: not chosen by voters.
    9
  4319. One is not allowed to make race, age or religious belief a condition of employment. Similarly, the right to determine what medical treatment one has is so fundamental that employers should not be allowed to demand this. It's not a back door, it's just the same mandate by another name.
    9
  4320. The fact of the matter is that a great many in the Labour Party would rather be freely (well at the expense of us taxpayers) giving arms to Hamas, rather than selling them to Israel. And Lammy is probably one of them.
    9
  4321. In almost all organisations those who aren't "easily manageable" are usually persecuted. And, the more incompetent the management, the more this happens.
    9
  4322. The Wagner group is definitely not in a good place. While Putin is very happy to see them soften up Ukrainian forces, he certainly doesn't want them grabbing the glory of Russia's one and only victory in months, if it happens, and eclipsing both him and his regular forces. Maybe the penny has dropped and Wagner's boss realises that this is precisely why he is being deprived of ammo, so that Wagner ultimately fails and is usurped by regular forces who have been standing safely on the sidelines. Hence a possible reason for the Wagner group's pause.
    9
  4323. Being in NATO would be Ukraine's only safeguard. If countries like Poland weren't in NATO it's a dead cert that Putin would already have taken a bite out of them, just like it has done with Georgia, and twice with Ukraine.
    9
  4324. My worry is will there be a country worth fighting for after another 4 years of this Labour government?
    9
  4325. I hope that teacher goes to the big house and has to share a cell with Bubba.
    9
  4326. Ah, the amnesia of the British public: the mainstay of our politicians. Am I the only one who remembers the vaccine minister, not that long ago, saying that the government wasn't considering this, that it would be a form of coercion, and that's not how we do things in Britain? I think that's an accurate recollection. Is it any wonder that intelligent people don't trust politicians?
    9
  4327. Once again, despite the evidence in this video, Russia is greatly downplaying the extent of the spanking it got. Almost as funny as Monty Python's knight claiming "it's just a flesh wound".
    9
  4328. Only someone who is a scientific ignoramus wouldn't want to see imperial measurements disappear forever. It's a bit like the introduction of Arabic numerals to medieval Europe. Just try working with the Roman numerals that they replaced! Often others do things a lot better than the British. Being grown up is about accepting this and adopting better practices.
    9
  4329. Before the sheep line up to get their antibody levels boosted, they might want to ask themselves why, with 2 billion years of evolution, mother nature doesn't do it this way. Why does our immune system instead allow antibody levels to wane, and rely on memory B and T cells to regenerate them ONLY if/when they are needed? Could it be that there's a massive downside to keeping antibody count high. With something as complex as the immune system I certainly don't want to find out the hard way!
    9
  4330. Millions probably would.
    9
  4331. Sunak can't even assert his dominance over the dinghy boys that just keep on coming.
    9
  4332. Expect horror stories about how they were treated.
    9
  4333. No, criminals DON'T have a right to a family life! Who thought up such utter nonsense? There are millions of good people out there, all of whose loved ones have died. Why should vile criminals have a right to something so many decent people don't have?
    9
  4334. ​ @Sun_Flower1  You mean the judge? That was my first thought. There really ought to be serious consequences for judges that had out completely inappropriate sentences.
    9
  4335. ​ @dogbreaththe3rd851  As do a great many, but the YouTube woke bots will pull comments like this.
    9
  4336. I'd like to see similar distruction in some Russian cities!
    9
  4337. Juries to not make the law. They were there to decide if an act of criminal damage had been committed by the defendants. It unquestionably was, and whether the jury had sympathy for what they did is irrelevant. As there was no question about what was done, and who did it, these people should have been found guilty. Those on the jury should be punished for perverting the course of justice, and their verdict dismissed.
    9
  4338. Of course breaking moral will make future battles easier. On the Ukrainian side it is moral that saved the country from falling, and led to the fantastic victories in the last few days. Is this general honestly saying it only cuts one way?
    9
  4339. Most of Turkey would thank Israel!
    9
  4340. Perfectly reasonable. She has a much higher probability of being a heavy (pun intended) burden on the NZ health service, which like are NHS is funded by the taxpayer.
    9
  4341. Appealing to Russia is as much use as howling at the moon. The best solution would be to give Ukraine all the help it needs to wipe out Russia's Black Sea fleet.
    9
  4342. Has Putin sent you your daily banana allowance for this post?
    9
  4343. Perfectly safe. You can't sue someone for telling the truth, and everyone knows that Boris is a pathological liar.
    9
  4344. A lot of us are asking exactly the same question.
    9
  4345. We need to give Ukraine the long-range weapons needed to take out the sites from which these drones are being launched against their women and children: regardless of how far inside Russia they are.
    9
  4346. That's just the 6000 we know about!
    9
  4347. Sorry to disappoint you, Putin rent boy, but the CIA would have been much more subtle, and they would have taken out Orbán first.
    9
  4348. It's far better to put a rabid dog down BEFORE it bites somebody!
    9
  4349. Yes, if they watched much British TV.
    9
  4350. It's guaranteed not to destroy the sites if it isn't used!
    9
  4351. What about the OAPs? Both their food and (desperately needed) heating are shooting up in cost. Yet Sunak has cheated them out of the "triple lock" on their pension, which will now rise at well below the rate of inflation. Even with being cheated many would have really struggled.
    9
  4352. At the start sars-cov-2 only had an infection fatality rate of about 1 in 300, and most of those were very old and very sick: the IFR is much lower now. Yet this was sold to people in exactly the same way as encouraging the purchase of lottery tickets. Just replace "anyone can win" with "anyone can die". Isn't it amazing how much more willingly people bought into the second slogan. Then we have the studies on natural immunity. Among others, there were two massive and highly respected ones out of Israel and Cleveland. These showed that natural immunity was very robust, and long lasting: maybe for life. Mainstream media totally ignored these studies. However, they did give coverage to a small and heavily criticised study (even its own researchers criticised it) out of Kentucky. And why was that? Because it bad-mouthed natural immunity. It seems to me that people want to consume bad news and believe the worst: that they want to be frightened.
    9
  4353. And the more people roll over and take it, the further across those lines are fascist government will dare to go!
    9
  4354. Well what chance did Truss give her chancellor, who was only doing EXACTLY what she wanted him to do? The U-turn was right, but making him the scapegoat was not!
    9
  4355. As anyone who has walked in the Lakes or the Highlands will tell you, it's amazing just how low a good fighter pilot can fly. Hopefully these brave men sent a lot of Orcs to hell.
    9
  4356. The ONLY things Worm Tongue has a truly vast experience in are brown nosing and saying what his bosses want to hear.
    9
  4357. As someone who is highly scientifically literate, I knew from the start what complete and utter bollocks these rules were, and so never followed any of them.
    9
  4358. But do watch the Russian MoD videos which, with their Herr Flick lookalike, are so entertaining. I hope people caught the one where shells were fired from a wood in winter, and landed in a field in summer: a true classic of Russian ineptness.
    9
  4359. Those of us who benefit from Prime will be fully behind Amazon, especially after they have had bad experiences with other couriers. But as we all know most EU governments and their petty bureaucrats hate Amazon with a passion. Amazon are my heroes. Not only do they provide goods very rapidly, and at fantastic prices, they have also enabled me to sell thousands of copies of my books. Years ago the large publishers wouldn't have given me a look in, but with Amazon it's the consumers that judge my worth as an author.
    9
  4360. Let's not forget that, rather than keep them in tents like the French do, 3 times as much was spent on housing illegal migrants in plush hotels than what it would have cost to give every pensioner the winter fuel allowance!
    9
  4361. When you see a mad rabid dog you put it down BEFORE it bites someone! I imagine that the vast majority of North Koreans wouldn't mourn Kim Jung Un, his sister, or those keeping him in power.
    9
  4362. People who do all they can to give the middle finger to all covid-19 related regulations deserve nothing but the utmost admiration and respect.
    9
  4363. Am I the only one who thinks this information was highly relevant to the case and should have been made available to the jury, instead of portraying Chris Kaba as an innocent law-abiding person?
    9
  4364. Well soaring fuel bills and food bills are going to be great for all those desperately struggling OAPs who Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock" pension rise.
    9
  4365. That's got to be the understatement of the last two or three decades. How many more decades do our governments want to fix what they have been doing wrong for 20 or 30 years?
    9
  4366. I've got my own home, but I would be very happy to see its value take a precipitous fall, so that young people can enjoy the same opportunity that I did to purchase a place of my own. A house is to live in, NOT something to make money with. If you want to make money then do an honest day's work. Don't try to get it by EXPLOITING those less fortunate than yourself.
    9
  4367. As a rule barbecues are for summer, but an Orc barbecue can be enjoyed any time of the year.
    9
  4368. Someone needs to leak the report.
    9
  4369. This One China argument is identical to Putin's rantings about "historical Russia'. Taiwan is separated from China by 100 miles of ocean: more than separates quite a few countries. It has a population of 23 million: a lot more than many other countries. It has been self determining for over 70 years. What it might have been before then is totally irrelevant. Taiwan IS now an INDEPENDENT country. Emperor Xi's argument is as valid as Adolf Hitler's were with regard to the Sudetenland and the Anschluss. His "military exercises" bear an uncanny resemblance to what happened prior to the invasion of Ukraine.
    9
  4370. If Trump were an educated man he would be reflecting on Chamberlain's infamous "Peace in our Time" 1938 Munich negotiations.
    9
  4371. "possibly a little inflated" Try obscenely inflated! In my day, over 40 years ago, one could be proud of ones A-level grades. There was no A* nonsense because a grade A really meant something. Even without what happened for the last couple of years grades have been seriously inflated. I'll let Gilbert & Sullivan explain why this is such a bad thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4OwwmFj8o As a tutor of A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics, I can also tell you, without the slightest doubt, that far too many students aren't prepared to put in anywhere near the effort need to get a good (albeit inflated) grade.
    9
  4372. I'd rather save the cost of imprisoning them and just put them up against the wall. There is shortage of people who would pay for the firing squad's time and the bullets.
    9
  4373. If the Civil Service is anything like it was when I worked for the Home Office about 40 years ago then it can well afford to lose at least half of it's ultra lazy employees.
    9
  4374. On this occasion I have to praise India. Too many countries allow companies to export food in order to make obscene profits, when they could still make a reasonable profit selling that food to the country's own citizens.
    9
  4375. It's a bit like using ferrets to flush out and kill vermin.
    9
  4376. The advert is in very bad taste, and many people will be very offended by it. The advertising standards agency should never have allowed it to go to air. This advert has definitely tarnished the image of John Lewis.
    9
  4377. Because it demonstrates how politically correct you are?
    9
  4378. Looks like the Moors are trying to retake Spain: except that the Moors were a lot more civilized.
    9
  4379. All we now need is for TTK to understand that a PM is there to serve, not lord it over everyone else by doing as he damn well pleases.
    9
  4380. Every time I hear statements like this I'm torn between amusement and irritation. Does any sane person really think that Putin ever holds back from inflicting damage on a country he expected to easily overrun in a few days or weeks?
    9
  4381. The real embarrassment is that many millions were stupid enough to vote for him.
    9
  4382. The only thing that wrecked the economy in the first place is spineless politicians going Chicken Little. The only thing threatening recovery is politicians still wetting themselves over a virus that kills well under 1%.
    9
  4383. Yes, Russian troops are on the move. There retreating as fast as they can.
    9
  4384. Unfortunately lots of money, that could be far better spent elsewhere, will now be wasted keeping this animal locked up for many years to come.
    9
  4385. And let's not forget that Serbia is one of those countries that supports Putin.
    9
  4386. Good to hear it's in paper form. I'm looking forward to seeing a thriving trade in good quality fake certificates. It's immunity that matters, not vaccination, which is 13 times less effective than natural immunity, and doesn't last as long.
    9
  4387.  Dumb & Dumber  Good! Hopefully Ukraine will get it's new weapons soon enough to pile many more up.
    9
  4388. And YouTube is helping her by hiding all comments, like mine made about the same time, stating the legal fact that falsifying a CV is the criminal offence of fraud.
    9
  4389. I've seen Austrian police acting like good Gestapo officers. Many will relish forcibly vaccinating people.
    9
  4390. Definitely! A nice cosy cell with Bubba.
    9
  4391. "Man" is being very generous.
    9
  4392. What makes me think that if you had seen this "national" walking down the street your first though would NOT have been dyed-in-the-wool Brit?
    9
  4393. Promise you won't cry when I tell you that 75,000 Orcs have been killed or injured.
    9
  4394. And a commendation!
    9
  4395. Air defences are good, but taking out the bases from where the missiles and drones are launched would be so much better. Also, Moscow needs a decent amount of payback, not just a couple of drone strikes once or twice a month.
    9
  4396. Les effets seraient bien plus ressentis si l’autorisation d’utiliser des missiles à longue portée était accordée.
    9
  4397. It's not hard to look down on people. Just consider how many millions waste their lives watching inane soap operas and reality show, or even how many waste time and money on gambling (think online bingo as well as the bookies). Others could add plenty of other examples of brainlessness to this list.
    9
  4398. And let's not forget those who are going to say this is Islamophobia.
    9
  4399. Most parents will probably hold their kids down while they are forcibly injected!
    9
  4400. This should be an enquiry into RAPE GANGS. It's time everyone stopped the euphemism.
    9
  4401. Milley is spot on. As Snake Island has clearly demonstrated taking territory and holding it are two very different things. The new, longer range, weapons are causing the Orcs some serious hurt. We need to supply Ukraine with vastly more of them, and quickly, as well as giving their soldiers as much training as possible. Over 35,000 Orcs have so far been killed. Let's make damn sure it's AT LEAST 70,000 by Christmas.
    9
  4402. Record high growth rates? Well I guess that's true if you count the rate at which you are burying your Orcs. 7 times higher than for the whole of the Soviet Afghanistan war.
    9
  4403. Today I've read two estimates of the number of illegals in the UK. One says 1 in 100, the other 1 in 50. Even using the lower estimate, a back of envelope calculation suggests that this is costing taxpayers around £2.5 billion a year. That's many, many times the cost of pensioners' winter fuel allowance!
    9
  4404. Hey it's like the comment at Daenerys' wedding in "Game of Thrones": "it wouldn't be a Dothraki wedding without a few deaths". Similarly, it wouldn't be a Notting Hill Carnival without a few stabbings.
    9
  4405. Dude, you might be surprised just how many people don't want the vaccine, so there may be a lot more to go round than you think. Most people under about 70 really don't need it, so by focusing strongly on the oldest and most vulnerable, you may well find that the bottle neck is in administering it rather than having enough.
    9
  4406. FFS, set up some Nissen huts, on a wet, cold, remote Scottish island and take the dinghy boys straight there for detention: a fairly cheap and effective deterrent.
    9
  4407. Very much a case of "do as I say, not as I do". What I'm really looking forward to is the moment someone squeals on Morrison and Andrews, and reveals that they haven't been following the covid-19 regulations that they have been seriously oppressing everyone else with.
    9
  4408. Without this exceedingly unwise ceasefire there was a very good chance that the Iranian regime would have quickly fallen.
    9
  4409. Crime "is all over the place", and rampant. It's been this way for many years now because neither the police nor the courts seem that concerned about it.
    9
  4410. Chrissy, you will be less inclined to go shopping soon when Reeves takes away your Freedom Pass in the budget.
    9
  4411. I feel a serious case of carelessly discarded cigarettes coming on.
    9
  4412. Most of the time when an organisation labels someone as "unmanageable", what they really mean is that the person can't be bullied or intimidated!
    9
  4413. No. YouTube will VERY QUICKLY remove any negative comments.
    9
  4414. However it was done, it WAS done by Hamas!
    9
  4415. A substantial percentage of university degrees are "Mickey Mouse". In my day only 5% were expected to go to university, but government wanted to change this to 50%. To achieve this grants and the payments of tuition fees had to be stopped, and much easier "degrees" had to be created. I do wonder what most of those "teaching" such degrees would otherwise be doing. So many of these young people would be much better off if they had gone straight into a job after school. I feel most sorry for the 5% who should be at university. I studied chemistry and physics. In my day fees were paid, I got a grant, and even my travelling expenses were reimbursed.
    9
  4416. How would you feel if pensioners were going to have their winter fuel allowance scrapped, while illegal migrants were being put up in 4 star hotels that most people can't afford to stay in?
    9
  4417. Unlike Trump, this guy has learnt from the 1938 Munich negotiations.
    9
  4418. If I was one of these people I'm pretty certain I'd rather take a VERY SMALL risk with the cladding than be made homeless. This is being done as a CYA exercise by those in charge, and living in comfortable homes, not for the benefit of these displaced people.
    9
  4419. No! This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant. If you haven't had covid-19 then by far the best way to protect yourself is to catch the Omicron variant. It will be less bother than a bad cold, and you may not even notice you have it. But you will then have PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that will protect you against new variants that might come along in the future.
    9
  4420. Keep up the good work.
    9
  4421. What amazed me was that nobody was prepared to even say whether the teenager involved was a boy or girl (or identified as a cat). That seems very OTT.
    9
  4422. Chelsea fans watch out. Putin is now on a special mission to de-nazify football.
    9
  4423. Freedom tomorrow. Freedom yesterday, But never freedom today. With apologies to the White Queen.
    9
  4424. I wonder how many good surgeons this might have cost the NHS? Surgeons that are desperately needed!
    9
  4425. Without strong security in place in all of the Baltic states and Eastern Europe, even a good Ukraine deal won't stop Putin's imperialistic ambitions. The best hope for all, including the Russian people, is Putin's "removal" from power.
    9
  4426. I strongly support Ukraine, but compared to their previous counter-offensive this one really does seem to be like a damn squib.
    9
  4427. I'll be ignoring it completely and just carrying on as usual.
    9
  4428. Principles are great, but acknowledging REALITY is far more useful. Let's review the FACTS: 1. Russia has had a firm hold on the Crimea for years. 2. Russia now holds the two Ukraine areas with Russian speakers. 3. As things stand things are getting worse in the Ukraine with no chance of it ever joining NATO. So, IN REALITY, other than our principles and politicians' bruised egos, we don't actually lose anything by accepting Moscow's demands. The damage to Ukraine and the rest of Europe is going to be truly immense if this continues, and I doubt most people who have really thought things through want to pay such a high price.
    9
  4429. God punishing Germany for not making good on its promises to Ukraine.
    9
  4430. What's so bad is the undemocratic manner in which Herr Macron bypassed the democratic process. This is completely unacceptable!
    9
  4431. There are lots of American, British and Polish pilots who would love to fly those jets themselves and clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    9
  4432. Ukraine should be VERY QUICKLY given the missiles it needs to take out the sites from which these attacks on its civilians are being launched: no matter how far inside Russia they are.
    9
  4433. They say "be careful what you pray for, you might get it". I can think of so many places I'd have preferred to live in when I was younger. Now, boring old Enfield, halfway up a hill, doesn't seem so bad.
    9
  4434. One quickly loses sympathy for people when they expect hundreds of other people to change their behaviour for them. The risk posed by other people eating peanuts was very likely negligible. If the parents were that concerned then THEIR daughter could have word a top-notch mask.
    9
  4435. I guess that they have run out of vodka.
    9
  4436. Call me perverse, but I think that telling the truth, being honest, and honouring ones promises is an essential prerequisite for even being an MP, let alone Prime Minister.
    9
  4437. Having worked for the Home Office I can tell you that a Civil Service job is a bloody cushy job: and not at all demanding. It would be extremely easy to replace delinquent civil servants.
    9
  4438. While forces are concentrated elsewhere, now might be a really good opportunity to take out critical bridges in Crimea.
    9
  4439. As others have said Russia no longer has 100,000 troops to spare, and probably couldn't even manage to send 10,000. The important thing is that Trump doesn't give Putin the chance to build up this capability again.
    9
  4440. What a great birthday present for Putin! So the supply route from Belgorod is cut off, and now the one via Crimea is cut off too. I'm looking forward to seeing lots more slaughtered Orcs in the coming weeks.
    9
  4441. Didn't lots of us say that the floodgates would open if Labour was elected!
    9
  4442. So true. But then Maggie was a clever woman with a science degree, who had previously been a research chemist, whereas Sunak is an idiot with a worthless PPE. Also, Maggie had a lot of backbone, whereas Sunak has less spine than a jellyfish.
    9
  4443. Ukraine has never responded properly to the missile and drone attacks on its cities. The result? These attacks happen again and again and again!
    9
  4444. It genuinely is a denazification operation.
    9
  4445. Even if the Orcs are pushed well back I doubt that this will stop until Russian cities, and Moscow especially, receive the same treatment.
    9
  4446. I made a similar comment, and also replied to you with a similar one, but both have been removed.
    9
  4447. If vaccines and natural immunity are, as appears to be the case, effective against variants then it really doesn't matter in the least what happens in other countries. "Listening to the science" would then mean no travel restrictions whatsoever. Keeping travel restrictions is listening to the cowardly snowflakes, who now jump at the sight of their own shadow getting too close.
    9
  4448. How often does this have to be said? We have hundreds, if not thousands, of uninhabited offshore islands. By far the cheapest solution is to hold illegal immigrants. in Nissen huts, on some of them. Unlike expensive hotels, or hare-brained Rwanda schemes, this would be a massive deterrent. But I seriously doubt that the previous government or this one have ever been serious about defending our borders.
    9
  4449. "Less severe" is an understatement. South African doctors' assessment that Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD was spot on. The pressure on the NHS is wholly due to panicking government. Most of those doctors and nurses who are off with Omicron have no symptoms, or at worst those of a VERY MILD cold. On balance, the scales are heavily tipped in favour of them being at work treating patients. Having them at home is causing vastly more damage!
    9
  4450. But so many of us enjoy seeing Orcs roasted.
    9
  4451. Things would be so different if Sunak had manned up and dealt with the small boats, stopped the pro-Hamas demonstrations, and also dealt with the over 1 million parasites who could work but are being given unemployment benefit.
    9
  4452. I can't help wondering what was going through the polices' minds as the party goers arrived at No.10 clutching their cheese and wine.
    9
  4453. All those involved with this production should be put on the sex offenders register, so they don't get let anywhere near kids.
    9
  4454. Has Ross considered some of the total scumbags that are likely to replace Boris? Boris is definitely a really bad Prime Ministers, but some of his cabinet cronies are even worse.
    9
  4455. And you can't point the finger at certain groups who are particularly guilty, lest they suck their teeth at you.
    9
  4456. All this is a distraction from the uncomfortable truth, that BOTH parties are culpable for. There are two overriding reasons that schools don't have enough good STEM teachers. First and foremost is that anyone with a good degree, that isn't in a Noddy subject, can get a better paid and much less stressful job than teaching in a school, where the classroom behaviour is appalling and bullying by management is endemic. The second reason is that most schools are unwilling to hire experienced teachers who are near the top of the pay scale. Indeed a goodly number even "encourage" their more expensive teachers to leave.
    9
  4457. Here we go! "I'm bid 4 shots from the country in the Middle East corner. Do I hear 5? What about you in the Western European corner? Going once, going twice...."
    9
  4458. The Russian people are getting sick of this, which is why Ukraine needs to keep up, or even increase, the pressure on Putin.
    9
  4459. There are so many islands off the coast of Scotland that are sparsely inhabited or not inhabited at all. Some even have a fair bit of infrastructure for years gone by. So would have been much cheaper to set up accommodation on one of these islands, and the do-gooder judges couldn't have prevented it by claiming people were being entrusted to an unsafe regime. Being held in such a place, with no prospect of setting foot on the mainland, would also be a massive deterrent. So why hasn't this been done instead?
    9
  4460. Am I the only one who thinks that this is much more worthy of a jail sentence than somebody posting something online, in the heat of the moment, that they didn't really mean?
    9
  4461. Here's my take on one of Banksy's works. It's a message to the government about its attitude to concerns over immigration and two-tier policing. Three wise monkeys see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
    9
  4462. That's a really good comment. As a bloke I think I'd be far more scared of going through pregnancy and childbirth than fighting.
    9
  4463. Here, here!
    9
  4464. Am I the only one wondering whether it would be faster to build clean nuclear power stations?
    9
  4465. And, very sadly, as more towns are liberated many more such atrocities will almost certainly be uncovered. In WW II Russia cold-bloodedly butchered 22,000 Polish officers at Katyn. It's still the same Russia today!
    9
  4466. Fortunately, this storm seems to have hit the Orcs far worse, and Ukraine needs to do everything in its power to take advantage of this.
    9
  4467. It seems to me that everything from hair loss to impotence is now being blamed on covid-19.
    9
  4468. Yes, I too noticed that those security guards would probably be more at home assaulting women for having some hair not covered by a hijab.
    9
  4469. The cats in the neighbourhood will thank you.
    9
  4470. And you thought sheep couldn't drive.
    9
  4471. There are a lot of Muslims in this country and both Labour and Conservative think that by pandering to the fundamentalists and extremists they can hover up the Muslim vote. However, many Muslims are very moderate and as revolted by these fundamentalists and extremists as the rest of us. So MPs in these parties may be prostituting their principles for nothing. No, wait. That last sentence doesn't quite sound right. Most MPs don't have any principles.
    9
  4472. If Markle went walkabout in the UK we would probably see something reminiscent of Cersei's walk of shame from Game of Thrones.
    9
  4473. Isn't it funny how apart from his (not so) SAGE poodles that most experts recently said that a third wave is "extremely unlikely". Still, I'm sure others with Noddy classics degrees, or similar completely useless ones, will believe this intensely stupid and dishonest (excuse for a) man. Like the proverbial swallow: a few covid-19 cases or deaths doth not a third wave make.😉
    9
  4474. All parties reward cronyism with knighthoods. A politician or civil servant being honoured should be a very rare occurrence. There are so many people who are far more worthy of being honoured. Most of us do not expect a knighthood for doing the job we are paid to do, no matter how well we do it. And let's be honest. Most of those honoured are very well paid for what they do, and don't do it particularly well.
    9
  4475. If you had lived in Ireland a little over 30 years ago, as I did, you would know that these people are definitely not far-right. The Ireland I knew and loved has been destroyed by immigrants, and that destruction is continuing unabated. Ireland used to be a safe and happy country. Good, decent, ordinary Irish people want that Ireland back.
    9
  4476. Despite having my own property, for the sake of young people, I'd dearly like to see prices drop by 3 or 4 times this rate, and much faster. A house is a home and a shelter, not a way for some lazy person, who doesn't want to do an honest day's work, to make a quick buck at the expense of those less fortunate.
    9
  4477. I sick of hearing this. It's like people saying it's time to shut the stable door, as they watch the horses disappear over the distant hills. This should have been done RIGHT FROM THE START.
    9
  4478. If all those trying to reach the UK put as much effort into fighting the Taliban then maybe they wouldn't need to leave Afghanistan.
    9
  4479. In other words, as so many have been saying, Omicron is going to SAFELY spread PROPER immunity, unlike these poorly tested vaccines, and bring this pandemic to an end.
    9
  4480. Lots of comments like yours, but as usual YouTube is deleting and hiding them, like the one I made 2 hours ago.
    9
  4481. I have to admit to being one of those 19%. As for getting our own people back into work two things need to happen: 1. Companies need to be forced to employ Brits at a fair wage, rather than being allowed employ people from overseas on sweatshop wages and conditions. 2. I just saw a figure of 9.4 million of working age on benefits, instead of working, That's 25% of the working population! Without the slightest doubt this is 5 to 10 times too high. These benefit fraudsters need to have their benefit stopped, and in some cases be prosecuted.
    9
  4482. The academic faculty at a good university could give them better advice at less than 100th of the cost. This is serious graft at the highest level!
    9
  4483. I'm sure that people like me would still find the Swedes incredibly welcoming. What the Swedes, just like MOST of us in the UK, don't want is certain groups with regressive and oppressive customs, who come into a country and then try to force their backward ways on the majority.
    9
  4484. The grossly excessive postal voting undermines democracy. Polling stations are open long enough, and in enough places, that the vast majority of people can definitely get to them if they really want to. I wonder just how many votes come from certain households where the "man of the house" has made sure that everyone else in it votes the "right way"?
    9
  4485. A major part of the problem is all MPs being tarred with the same brush. There are thoroughly decent and good MPs out there, who want nothing more than to serve their community. Unfortunately those most in the public eye are the cabinet, most of whom make the dodgiest second hand car salesman look like Mother Theresa. Boris and his cabinet are in the main responsible for the hostility that other MPs experience.
    9
  4486. Aha, contempt of court. They can be locked up for this!
    9
  4487. No, just crying Putin rent boys.
    9
  4488. "Overgrown prefect" may well be true, but it's better than being a complete scumbag who is willing to do anything to get his foot in the door at No.10.
    9
  4489. Absolutely the right thing to do, and they can't reach Ukraine too soon. They will only be used in Ukraine, and could be a very effective means of flushing the filthy Orcs out of their trenches, and clearing the mines they have laid.
    9
  4490. "we don't grant asylum to war criminals" sums it up well. When this guy joined the Wagner Group I doubt he expected to be singing carols.
    9
  4491. Even a casual glance at the river, where Bulley is supposed to have fallen in, makes most of us think this is exceedingly unlikely. It's not very wide, and doesn't appear to be a raging torrent, so one would expect that even if someone did fall in they would probably be able to get out. We haven't been told there are strong undercurrents, and if there where there would very likely be notices warning people of this. Lancashire police should have the honesty to admit that they a completely clueless.
    9
  4492. Nearly 67 years ago my mother had a very difficult time. She was unsuccessfully in Labour for a long time. Eventually, so she said, an Indian doctor who performed her caesarian told her that her child was very special and she would make sure it was OK. I wonder if I would have survived today.
    9
  4493. Charlotte Church is a very sobering reminder of what sweet, cute little girls can turn into! No more sugar and spice left in this one.
    9
  4494. Am I the only one who is wondering whether these military exercises would be long over if NATO wasn't making such a fuss about them, and wetting it's collective knickers? If I was in Putin's place I would be laughing till it hurt, and keeping the exercises going just for my amusement, because there are few things funnier than watching people needlessly panic: especially "leaders".
    9
  4495. Just remember three little words: "I am exempt". Once you utter these three words the goons can do nothing, because they are not allowed ask you about your private medical history.
    9
  4496. Is it racist to hate someone playing the race card, or a whinging mummy's boy?
    9
  4497. It's always a little sad when the vehicles aren't moving, because there might not be any Orcs getting roasted.
    9
  4498. Dr. Mengele would be so proud of the CMOs.
    9
  4499. Hitler would have said the same, right up to the end.
    9
  4500. All the cowards who haven't realised that covid-19 is no big deal for over 99% of people must have no brains.
    9
  4501. As most of those worse affected are in countries that either support Putin, or don't condemn him, do the rest of us really care? Maybe the Putin fanboys will come to their senses when they start to starve as a direct result of his actions.
    9
  4502. Suella Braverman committed one of the most heinous crimes a politician can commit, when she referred to grooming gangs of Pakistani men. She told the truth!
    9
  4503. This is indeed very sad, but I do wonder if, like so many youngsters, she might have been walking with her nose in a mobile phone, and might otherwise have been able to avoid what happened.
    9
  4504. Is anyone in Scotland or Greater Manchester pathetic enough to obey Sturgeon in this? How is she going to enforce her snowflake rule?
    9
  4505. There is one major source of saving that most of us would support. Removing the benefits of the more than 2 million claimants who are perfectly able to work.
    9
  4506. Well, that will have lots of companies, who have been ripping people off, sobbing their hearts out.
    9
  4507. Saving the Tories now is like trying to resurrect a badly decayed corpse. Far better to join or form a new party. Anyone who now believes that the Conservatives are going to be in power again any time soon probably also believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny: and I'd put more money on the last two.
    9
  4508. I'm definitely not a Sunak fan, but I wouldn't trust Starmer to run a bath, let alone a country!
    9
  4509. If we had honest judges and magistrates they would throw out any cases where it was clear that the ticketing system was confusing: and order train companies to make things easy to understand.
    9
  4510. And take Boris with you.
    9
  4511. I was about to say the same thing. Gazans would be living an enviable lifestyle if they had received all the aid money that Hamas embezzled!
    9
  4512. Another Vodka fueled interview. Is that "wiping off the map" going to be another special operation that only takes a few days?
    9
  4513. For decades now we have heard empty promises about getting tough on knife crime, with absolutely nothing being done, and this is the result. If you are simply found carrying a knife there should be a mandatory jail sentence!
    9
  4514. Wrong. It still has Iran.
    9
  4515. In view of China's clearly expressed hostile intentions towards Taiwan this is a sensible suggestion. As the Germans are now finding, that cheap Russian gas is turning out to have a vastly higher price than they could ever have imagined.
    9
  4516. That's what Hitler said about Austria and the Sudetenland. Hopefully we won't make the same mistake with Putin.
    9
  4517. Could it possibly be that Boris is welcoming this "distraction"?
    9
  4518. Not probably, definitely! Natural immunity to covid-19 is vastly superior to vaccination.
    9
  4519. Is there anyone who doesn't hate Sunak?
    9
  4520. Actually the BBC 6pm news managed to dig up some truly evil parents who were gagging to get their kids injected ASAP.
    9
  4521. If Ukraine was able to hit airbases deep inside Russia then it's way past time to hit Moscow's power, water and metro systems. Getting a good taste of their own medicine is the best way to discourage such attacks!
    9
  4522. Nice to see an honest report from HT. Iran is lying through its teeth about the amount of damage done, but these pictures tell a very different story. I hope we see a lot more of this very soon.
    9
  4523. "we gave", "we've given" So perhaps we can be proud of our past. But apart from supporting Ukraine is there much else that we can be proud of today?
    9
  4524. That's because it's ruled by a mad dog.
    9
  4525. And remember, no soixante-neuf sex, because you both have to remove masks to do it properly!
    9
  4526. They probably also threw in a few free sheep.
    9
  4527. Hopefully the upcoming Ukraine offensive will inflict far higher casualties on the Orcs.
    9
  4528. Hopefully there were 2 or 3 Orcs in each tank.
    9
  4529. What are they conserving? Their own jobs. Well, until the next election.
    9
  4530. I see that the SNP, like their leader, are now all ardent Hamas supporters.
    9
  4531. Regardless of who the interference is in favour of, or who wins. Interference like this, from MPs serving in government is bad for UK/US relations. Of course, someone who left school at 16, with no qualifications, probably has difficulty grasping this.
    9
  4532. We should have built more nuclear power stations years ago. AND they should have been built only by companies from countries with rock solid democracies.
    9
  4533. The 18 years experience will also have a lot to do with it, because that makes a teacher more expensive, and almost all schools now only consider the cheapest of the cheap. Newly qualified teachers (NQTs) are vastly preferred, and many schools even prefer on the job trainees over them. When I returned to the UK with years of experience teaching overseas, in good schools, those in this country weren't interested in employing be. I'm really good (if not too modest) at teaching maths, further maths, chemistry and physics (yes all of these) at A-level. So given the shortage of STEM teachers schools should be jumping at the opportunity to employ people like me.
    9
  4534. We need lots more fat shaming. Being fat is very unhealthy and puts a massive burden on the NHS. And most of those who are fat are that way because they can't say no to a bag of crisps or a bar of chocolate. I look longingly at these when I go shopping, but I almost always summon up enough will power to leave them on the shelve.
    9
  4535. Hopefully the first of many such strikes.
    9
  4536. Like the school bully who is outraged when the tiny kid hits him back.
    9
  4537. Many of us would like to see Cressida Dick (and other heads of police forces) go. Sarah Everard would definitely still be alive if the likes of Dick had instructed their police to concentrate on REAL CRIME instead of acting as Hancock's Gestapo. Sarah was lured to her death on the pretext of breaching lockdown regulations. With so much REAL CRIME, the police should never have devoted any resources to this.
    9
  4538. With Ukraine's new sea drones the Orcs now know that there are probably a few lurking in the hope that they will send some of their ships out to harass merchant vessels.
    9
  4539. Towards the end of the 1970s I worked for the Home Office as an executive officer. While I met a few very capable and hardworking people, I can tell you that the vast majority were neither very bright nor hardworking. I'd be surprised if anything has changed. When your salary is paid by the taxpayer there is zero incentive to give value for money.
    9
  4540. @Various Artists I suspect Jar Jar is one of those "men" who thinks it's OK to give your wife, or girlfriend, a good slap from time to time, just to remind her who's boss.
    9
  4541. What do people expect? Most of us would much rather stack shelves in a supermarket than work in the care sector. It's bloody hard work for little more than minimum wage.
    9
  4542. Parole board should be lynched if anything happens!
    9
  4543. If only all "sex trafficking victims" looked as happy as Virginia does in that infamous picture. What a terrible ordeal she must have gone through. Forced onto a first class flight. Forced to eat caviar and drink champagne during it. The forcibly dragged along to all the best parties in London. And let's not forget that she was 17, and the age of CONSENT in the UK is 16.
    9
  4544. I'll continue addressing people as i have for over 60 years. If they object then I'll call them something they will like even less!
    9
  4545. Stock market tip. Invest in tuna can lids.
    9
  4546. If this is indeed the case then NATO and the West mustn't ease the pressure on Russia. If anything they must try to increase it even more.
    9
  4547. Like a very spoilt child Xi is throwing a massive temper tantrum because he didn't get his way.
    9
  4548. There seems to be some evidence that natural immunity, in those who have had covid-19, may be better than that conferred by vaccination. So if anyone should get preferential treatment it should be those who test positive for antibodies or memory Band T cells, etc.😉
    9
  4549. What I love is her "I lied, but I didn't do anything wrong" comment.
    9
  4550. Having Witless Whitty as an advisor was definitely a very bad option!
    9
  4551.  @Maperator  Don't kid yourself.
    9
  4552. So true. Putin's beloved bridge should have been made permanently uncrossable ages ago.
    9
  4553. On a very hot summer's day I can recall seeing some poor woman swaddled from head to toe in black, but it was OK because her bastard husband and sons were really cool in their shorts and tee-shirts.
    9
  4554. Nice to see the tanks taken out, but I do like to see a good side serving of roast Orc.
    9
  4555. Another joke video from the Russian MoD. The only bigger joke is Putin.
    9
  4556. It's unlikely this violent history would ever have come to light if there had been a guilty verdict. Far from a disciplinary hearing this brave, decent police officer deserves an unreserved apology, and substantial compensation for what he has been put through for doing his duty.
    9
  4557. It's a question of balance, a greedy and corrupt Spanish government allowed tourism to develop far beyond sustainable levels.
    9
  4558. This is why it's so important that countries have the death penalty for rabid animals like the one who shot this little girl. If the government and police don't have the stomach for it then there are millions like me prepared to dispatch such vermin, even at some cost in time and money to ourselves.
    9
  4559. I'm no fan of Boris or Sunak. But when I think of Scumbag Starmer replacing them the expression "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind.
    9
  4560. ​ @thalentekhuluse2829  Putin's rent boys are mad because it's true.
    9
  4561. Those who send their children to private schools save the state the substantial amount of money that it would cost to educate them. The cost to the state from those leaving private education is going to be higher than what VAT brings in. Of course, rather than meet that extra cost, Labour will probably let standards for state students drop still further. It's like killing the goose that laid golden eggs.
    9
  4562. Most degrees aren't worth the paper they are written on. Perhaps this might get a few to think twice about wasting 3 years of their lives and running up massive debts.
    9
  4563. Students need to think about their future when choosing their A-levels. Far too many choose useless rubbish like sociology, government and politics, and business studies. The only use of such A-levels is to provide jobs for "teachers" who would otherwise be on the dole.
    9
  4564. Labour are indeed unfit for government, BUT so are the Tories! If people had had the sense to vote Reform UK we wouldn't now be in such a mess.
    9
  4565. The wonderful thing about NOT having a smart meter is that your power can't be remotely cut off at the touch of a button. Whenever I'm offered one I follow the same advice given in regard to drug dealers: "just say no".
    9
  4566. You know the old saying: "if it ain't broke..." Well TTK's motto is: "if it's working well then break it".
    9
  4567. Thanks a lot for that. It really made me laugh my head off. Definitely a share.
    9
  4568. When one sees the blind adoration that many have for Trump it's much easier to understand how many Russians can support Putin. A lot of people simply won't accept the truth if it makes them uncomfortable.
    9
  4569. Trump reminds me of the delinquent boys I used to teach. Whenever they were faced with the consequences of their wrongdoing they would whine about how unfairly they were being treated.
    9
  4570. While our waste of space MPs obsess over the definition of extremism most of us obsess over them being totally unwilling to defend our borders against those who shouldn't be in this country.
    9
  4571. I've just posted something very similar.
    9
  4572. If Australians have even an iota of sense they will demand that, like the UK, their government tells the WHO where to shove their agreement.
    9
  4573. When is the world's largest prison going to accept that many people have natural immunity that is more effective and long lasting than vaccine induced immunity?
    9
  4574. So we, and the jury, were deliberately misled into believing that Chris Kaba was an innocent law abiding man.
    9
  4575. Allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons is like sitting idly by watching a rabid psychopath sharpen his zombie knife.
    9
  4576. The trouble is that all those notices that say "zero tolerance for abuse of NHS staff" have as much weight as a politician's promise.
    9
  4577. I won't hold my breath.
    9
  4578. Criminals should be forced to appear in court. If necessary a cattle prod should be used to force them into a small cage for transport.
    9
  4579. What a wonderful turkey shoot this might turn out to be. I guess you can't eat Orcs, but they probably make good fertilizer.
    9
  4580. A frightened little man desperately blabbering to try and save his skin.
    9
  4581. Ah, but mainstream media will tell everyone that it was just a few hard-right anti-vaxers demonstrating.
    9
  4582. What kind of sick person supports rabid animals who murder a young mother, her baby, and her 4 year-old?
    9
  4583. If most of these CEOs where particularly bright it wouldn't be so bad. However the truth is that the vast majority got where they are due to nepotism, brown nosing, and back stabbing.
    9
  4584. Having Putin express his appreciation for you is like receiving a commendation from Hitler. You have to ask yourself if you are doing something wrong.
    9
  4585. It's unfortunate, but sometimes you need to level a house in order to get rid of the filthy vermin infesting it.
    9
  4586. And to think that people like you ignore the 1200 Jews that were murdered, and all those still being held as hostages: many of whom may now be dead.
    9
  4587. When National Insurance did what it said on the packet it was a very small tax that nobody minded paying. But almost all of the money is now embezzled for other things. This is a tax that has grown like a malignant cancer. If government was honest then N.I. would be amalgamated into income tax and corporation tax. But this would lead to a simpler and easier to understand system, and it's much harder for government to cheat people when things are transparent.
    9
  4588. If you are going to do a real degree like physics or engineering, then university is well worth it. But those doing NODDY degrees, like sociology and media studies, would be far better getting a job. The only purpose of so many degrees is to keep lecturers off the dole. I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone told me that there is now a degree in Restroom Management.
    9
  4589. @Traiano Wellcome You keep telling yourself that.
    9
  4590. It certainly shouldn't be incredibly thick parents like these!
    9
  4591. Absolutely correct. Ordered by deaths per million, Sweden doesn't even make it into the top 50, unlike the UK and most EU countries. Also, the infection rate in Sweden is very low. With thousands of failed lockdowns throughout the world only an imbecile can fail to understand that they don't work.
    9
  4592. It's like treating a floor crawling with cockroaches.
    9
  4593. So impressive. A few tanks in a field shooting into the sky.
    9
  4594. It's also sad that YouTube removes so many comments that criticise Putin.
    9
  4595. I wonder how many of those without jobs have proper degrees in things like science and engineering.
    9
  4596. Dictators need strong armies to keep them in power.
    9
  4597. Well winter isn't that far off, so Ukraine needs to really shake a leg. And if they let up for winter, like last year, then Russia will put all those defenses back, and considerably expand them.
    9
  4598. So, let me get this right. Our wimpy clown Sunak is putting up the illegal immigrants we don't want in 4 star hotels, while at the same time he is harassing the ones, that contribute to our economy, that we do want.
    9
  4599. The very old and very sick will die, as they always have, and then everything will get back to normal. The important thing is to triage, so that those who stand a really good chance don't lose out on treatment to those with no hope. And let's be very honest. For many of those that Covid kills death is a merciful release from constant pain or severe dementia: and a mercy for their families too.
    9
  4600. They are very likely clients of the pimps!
    9
  4601. We have Musk wearing a baseball hat indoors, and Trump and Vance behaving like playground bullies. The Oval Office seems to be being run by a nasty version of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.
    9
  4602. I hope the first guy doesn't get a late night knock on the door. The Russian students I used to teach were among my favourites. Young people like them deserve to have a leader who isn't completely insane and evil.
    9
  4603. Those of us who have worked with Russian colleagues and taught Russian children will be much saddened at the deterioration in relations with Russia. I liked my Russian colleagues, and my Russian students were often my favourites. The Russian people are very much like us. There are so many others who we probably should be fighting against to make the world a better place. The rabid animals in Iran and Afghanistan, to name but a few: they are definitely not like us.
    9
  4604. Is that how long you have been a Putin rent boy?
    9
  4605. Sadly kids, especially boys, will always take risks, and even challenge each other as to who will go the furthest from the shore. I can well remember venturing onto a frozen pond when I was about 12.
    9
  4606. Hopefully, for their own sake, the Russian people will get the message that there is no way Putin is going to be allowed to take any part of Ukraine, including Crimea. So, if they want to stop their sons, brothers and husbands dying needlessly then they had better "remove" the psychopath from power.
    9
  4607. The upsetting bit is that the second helicopter escaped.
    9
  4608. One less to worry about.
    9
  4609. Don't forget that Starmer fully, and staunchly, supported all of the Tories Covid policies.
    9
  4610. Only someone as thick as Liz Truss could believe she has a chance of making a comeback.
    9
  4611. Russia now behaving like a naughty boy throwing a tantrum after being told off: pathetic.
    9
  4612. So we can now be jailed for which pronoun we use in addressing someone. Remind me why we are supporting Ukraine and Taiwan.
    9
  4613. Ukraine needs to push Russia completely out of its territory, and that includes Crimea!
    9
  4614. The way our schoolchildren have been treated is an unmitigated act of the utmost cowardice and selfishness. This virus has always posed a NEGLIGIBLE risk to kids, and a really tiny one to the vast majority of their teachers. If I was still in the classroom I would have insisted on continuing to teach classes throughout this unnecessary panicking, without any masks, (un)social distancing, or extra handwashing. Many animals prioritise their offspring's welfare better than these quivering snowflakes do!
    9
  4615. But in this case there was a witch!
    9
  4616. Ha ha. Another Russian MOD videos that just shows planes taking off, flying, shooting at nothing, and landing. Well I guess it's easier to make such videos, or use them repeatedly.
    8
  4617. It's more likely deliberate support for Hamas, but they got caught out
    8
  4618.  @juskis01  The one without any Putin fanboys in it.
    8
  4619. Dream on, Putin fanboy.
    8
  4620. "Condition of Carriage" Who decides what is acceptable in this respect? What if it were decided that men had to wear a tutu or women weren't allowed to wear a hajib. Is it really acceptable to have carriers making up their own laws? Incidentally, snowflake Khan doesn't mention the serious face mask study that was carried out in Denmark. Its conclusion was that there was NO CONVINCING EVIDENCE that face masks offer any benefit!
    8
  4621. It's so simple. Just make NI independent. The rest of the UK really doesn't want it!
    8
  4622. Too busy persecuting innocent people for imagined Islamophobia.
    8
  4623. Very easy to spot those who are in Hamas. They are the well-fed ones!
    8
  4624. And put the human rights lawyers who want to keep them here on the same planes!
    8
  4625. On the whole I'd agree. Though I think most of us would support applying Sharia law to shoplifters.
    8
  4626. I guess that when, instead of just being called on to clap and cheer, you are conscripted to go off and die then it kind of dampens ones enthusiasm.
    8
  4627. They already voted both these super snowflakes back in, after seeing them go full throttle Chicken Little. How stupid is that?
    8
  4628. That's what government is so afraid of. That Omicron will cause herd immunity and put an end to their excuse for tyranny.
    8
  4629. As Sweden clearly demonstrates, if Johnson had simply kept his bottle and prevented any lockdowns he might still be PM, and even hailed for his heroic resistance to what Maggie would have called the "wets".
    8
  4630. This makes you want to resurrect one of those inventive medieval slow deaths specially for Putin.
    8
  4631. How about these reforms: 1. Sack at least 2/3 of all the managers and administrators, of which we have far too many. 2. Have a good look at how much money is wasted on alcoholics, and drug fiends, and others who are entirely responsible for their bad condition.
    8
  4632. "View your house and leave" And if someone puts there hand into my pocket no doubt all they want to do is admire the leather workmanship of my wallet.
    8
  4633. "Fantasy Cabinet" As the old saying goes, there's many a true word spoken in jest. A lot of sleaze and corruption might be avoided if not only the PM , but all the cabinet ministers were chosen by the party. We certainly wouldn't get thick bastards like Williamson.
    8
  4634. One of the most unforgiveable ways is the incredible amount of strain put on the NHS by allowing every man and his dog to play the mental health card!
    8
  4635. Putin will show exactly the same contempt for any "deal" that he strikes with Trump.
    8
  4636. Those who don't like British democratic values need to leave this country!
    8
  4637.  @gigacanno750  That's good news, but Ukrainians need to return to the front with a decent amount of hardware to back them up, so it might we wise to wait for a bit more to arrive.
    8
  4638. The Russians and the Chinese would do well to remember that doing a deal with the Taliban is like doing a deal with the Devil or Boris Johnson. They won't hesitate to break a deal if it becomes in the least bit inconvenient to them.
    8
  4639. At least it should be illegal to cut off their tentacles while they are still alive, so they can be served raw, and still wriggling, to diners. There's a video of this being done in a Californian restaurant, and as one octopus makes two portions it's left alive with half its tentacles until another customer orders.
    8
  4640. It would be tragic if the Orcs couldn't be pushed back just for want of munitions.
    8
  4641. Does anyone expect something different from rabid mad dogs?
    8
  4642. This so-called lawyer clearly doesn't know the area of law he professes to be an expert in, and should therefore be struck off in order to protect prospective clients. Mind you, when it comes to dealing with bent or incompetent lawyers the Law Society has about as much bite as a castrated poodle.
    8
  4643. This is a golden opportunity to take out Rocket Man that is going to be squandered. You don't need to blow up a train or the railway tracks. You simply clamp (and superglue) some iron strips to the same side of each rail, and you do it from underneath the tracks so that it's very hard to spot. Derailments can be very effective at killing people, especially if they happen at a suitable spot.
    8
  4644.  @hiramhackenbacker9096  Or, more much likely, like most covid cowards you are a pathological liar, making up these figures.
    8
  4645. It was an assisted suicide. The FSB helped him keep his hand steady and squeeze the trigger.
    8
  4646. Hospitalisations always increase during the winter. It's when mother nature does her weeding.
    8
  4647. Time for that carelessly discarded ciggy. Just imagine how much we would all laugh if Putin's new toy got sunk.
    8
  4648. If only UK governments, both this and the previous one, had the moral clarity to deal properly with the terrorist that threaten us!
    8
  4649.  @wanderingfool6312  Not half as depressed as the bloody morons who get vaccinated when they don't need it.
    8
  4650. To get some perspective, Boris needs to look at the average number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads each day, which is 69. His Dr. Deaths' worse case scenario is only 40 deaths. He might also like to look into the deaths due to drinking and smoking, especially the indirect deaths caused by the former. Yep, lots of other things that would save far more lives than cancelling June 21.😉
    8
  4651. Today's taxpayers, and a good few previous generations were not involved in slavery. Labour must not be allowed to squander money that we can ill afford like this. I'm beginning to think that to save this country it may be necessary to remove this government by whatever means is necessary!
    8
  4652. Let's be very clear. None of our power stations run on oil, so this is no excuse for power cuts. The morons on Westminster have 6 months to make damn sure this doesn't happen. They can buy extra gas from Norway, and Power from France (there's an undersea cable) who have the good sense to use a lot more nuclear power stations. In the 70s far fewer people had freezers or central heating, so blackouts in the winter are now unthinkable. Also, with food prices rocketing expect mass food poisoning as people take a chance rather than throw food out.
    8
  4653. How do we know it was rent free, and that she didn't actually give the money to her parents. To be honest, if I had a choice of taking no money or taking money and giving it to my parents I'd choose the latter every time.
    8
  4654. One thing Starmer does appear to have ruled out is trying to save many billions of pounds by combating benefit fraud. Does anyone really believe that the majority of the 25% of working-age people neither working nor looking for work are genuinely too sick to work?
    8
  4655. Before going after ALL Russian oligarchs we ought to ask the question about how many of them genuinely support Putin. Could it be that many aren't living in Russia precisely because they want to keep a safe distance from him? Also, principles are great, but acknowledging REALITY is far more useful. Let's review the FACTS: 1. Russia has had a firm hold on the Crimea for years. 2. Russia now holds the two Ukraine areas with Russian speakers. 3. As things stand things are getting worse in the Ukraine with no chance of it ever joining NATO. So, IN REALITY, other than our principles and politicians' bruised egos, we don't actually lose anything by accepting Moscow's demands. The damage to Ukraine and the rest of Europe is going to be truly immense if this continues, and I doubt most people who have really thought things through want to pay such a high price.
    8
  4656. Two men enter no man leaves.
    8
  4657. It's hard to get worked up about anything these two countries do, or might do, to each other. One provided safe haven to the Taliban, which is the only reason they were able to make a comeback. The other is a staunch supporter of Putin.
    8
  4658. Russian MoD videos make for great family viewing because no people or animals are ever hurt or killed in them. Well, maybe a few rabbits, squirrels and pigeons get wasted, but you never actually see it happen.
    8
  4659. What about using some of them to finish off Putin's beloved Kerch bridge? It's not only an important military target, the humiliation that it would cause Putin would be immense and very public, which would might weaken his hold on power. It would also cause a lot of panic for the Orcs in Crimea.
    8
  4660. Go up to the Lake District or the Cairngorms and you will witness our fighter pilots practicing low level flying. It can be extremely useful!
    8
  4661. Better to retreat now and come back later with those new US weapons.
    8
  4662. Aw, a Putin fanboy is getting upset.
    8
  4663. The brutal truth is that the votes of certain communities are far more important to both Labour and the Tories than rendering justice to young girls who have endured incredibly vile crimes. Of course, decent communities wouldn't want to protect those who had committed such crimes!
    8
  4664.  @vivalarazausarmyvet4453  Funny then how all the non-rigged polls show over 90% support for the truckers. If you are indeed an army vet you obviously came back very badly damaged!
    8
  4665. Pausing the previous counteroffensive for the winter was a serious mistake. I repeatedly warned that this would give the Orcs an opportunity to dig in, and this is exactly what happened. If, with the help of cluster munitions, Ukraine builds up a decent momentum once again then hopefully it won't repeat this mistake.
    8
  4666.  @markjamie4002  The difference is Fed and Nadal weren't kicked out of the competition. Claiming victory after some corrupt government has eliminated the best competition is pathetic.
    8
  4667. We don't need to actually give them jets, just let our boys lock and load. There are plenty of American, British and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash to be sent on missions in Ukraine to clear the Orc infestation.
    8
  4668. Looking at the way those even slightly suspected of being sympathetic to the mutiny have been purged, any Wagner member would be well advised to stay well clear of Russia while Putin remains in power.
    8
  4669. It always amazes me how the many let the few dominate and exploit them.
    8
  4670. I wonder how much clapping there will be when they come back in coffins?
    8
  4671.  @jodino6953  Hey Putin fanboy, I hate to make you cry, but the West isn't going to allow him to win.
    8
  4672. So true. There are an awful lot of good folks out there just itching to go on an Orc hunt.
    8
  4673. Prigozhin's mutiny was very public, and very publicly humiliated Putin. So is it any surprise that Putin wants to be very clearly seen taking him out? Of course Putin isn't rational (and neither is Emperor Xi). Anyone around 70 (or a lot younger for that matter) and rich beyond avarice would retire and enjoy an exceedingly comfortable life.
    8
  4674. OUR money!
    8
  4675. Why are you a Putin fanboy?
    8
  4676. If you weren't a Putin fanboy you would recall that he tried very hard to do exactly this.
    8
  4677. The great thing about planes with propellers is that the fundamental laws of aerodynamics limit their speed, so they are easy to take out with jets and missiles, well before they reach their target. Of course, this video is intended for Russian peasants who don't understand such things.
    8
  4678. A few Orcs here, a few Orcs there. All very nice, but if Ukraine ever hopes to win it's going to have to deliver some real bad arse strikes. Something like seriously damaging Moscow's main airport or train interchange would be around the right order of magnitude.
    8
  4679. I'd hadn't thought about the Who's film Tommy for decades. But seeing George Galloway always makes me think of Uncle Ernie.
    8
  4680. With regard to both this and the Kerch bridge there is one possibility that nobody who values their life would even whisper in Putin's presence. That Russia might have a fifth column.
    8
  4681. Just wait until those balmy summer days arrive!
    8
  4682. But think of what an inspiration Linker is to all those less academic kids, and how much hope he gives to them. What better proof is there that even with no intellectual ability whatsoever one can still bring home a big fat paycheque?
    8
  4683. Ukrainian special ops need to give Moscovites a good taste of this!
    8
  4684. He also needs to learn how to man up, and not be a big girl's blouse.
    8
  4685. Half a million Russian soldiers have been killed or maimed, and many more continue to die and be injured every day. As Putin is no longer able to hide this from the Russia people he urgently needs two things if he is to avoid a palace coup. He needs the deaths and injuries to stop, and he needs to be able to show a substantial gain for those that have already occurred. Ukraine and the West would be absolutely insane to give him either of these two things!
    8
  4686. Sadly, mainstream media is now a byword for collusion with government and social engineering. Truthfully reporting what's going on now only happens by chance.
    8
  4687. Why is it that YouTube keep removing comments suggesting that to prove GENUINE conversion certain foods and drink should be consumed?
    8
  4688. A 2000 year old book, many parts of which go back about as long again, clearly shows that these lands unequivocally belong to the Jewish people!
    8
  4689. Why didn't we just set up POW style camps on some remote windswept Scottish islands? This would have been a lot cheaper, and a much bigger deterrent.
    8
  4690. Breaking promises is more or less written into most politicians' conditions of service!
    8
  4691. As soon as this insanity was mooted people like me said it would actually cost money rather than bring more in. Since parents who send their kids to private schools save the state the considerable cost of educating their children they should be able to get tax relief on their fee payments. But Labour has always been ideologically committed to "levelling down".
    8
  4692. This is why I haven't got a smart meter. They enable utilities to switch off your electricity and gas remotely: something they don't tell you about. Winter is 6 months off, so the prats in Westminster need to make damn sure this doesn't happen. What I worry most about is the massive wave of food poisoning we could see if people's refrigerators are turned off, because the way prices are rising people can't afford to throw out that food, and WILL take a chance on it.
    8
  4693. I saw one of my students downgraded by her physics and chemistry teachers, for precisely this region. And this was in Highlands, which is meant to be one of Enfield's best schools. She got better grades in both subjects, when she took the autumn exams. This kind of thing happens A LOT!
    8
  4694. So all these lovely goodies, many in pristine condition, are being handed in despite the numerous occasions we have seen Progozhin curse the Russian MoD for keeping him short of supplies. Am I the only one smelling yet another totally untrue propaganda production.
    8
  4695. The second scandal is that none of those in the Post Office who were responsible for this have been jailed! Apparently a heat of the moment tweet, that isn't meant, is more deserving of a substantial term behind bars.
    8
  4696. An essential part of being a democracy is that people have the right to insult officials and politicians, be they a lowly clerk or the head of state. Turkey has proved time and time again that it is not a democracy. I'm sure that I'm far from the only one who would like to see NATO swap Turkey for Sweden and Finland, two proper democracies, rather than allow Turkey to block their membership.
    8
  4697. Hopefully these protests won't just fizzle out, like the ones in Iran did. If the "Russian law" isn't overturned then Georgia is headed down the same path as Belarus: another country where most people would dearly love to join the EU.
    8
  4698. And the BBC.
    8
  4699. A "truthful Russian" is now almost an oxymoron. At least for those who haven't been imprisoned, or expecting free flying lessons from an upstairs window.
    8
  4700. Hey, I've got a new chant for the fans. Get your death jab for the game, For the game. Get jab and see the game, See the game. And when I die they'll say it's not the vax. So get your death jab for the game.
    8
  4701. "Highly transmissible Indian Variant" There is still NO SOLID SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to back up this claim. Just because a particular variant is predominant does not prove that it is more transmissible. There are several other equally valid hypotheses that could explain this. What all the pathetic snowflakes really need to understand is: 1. Vaccines appear to be effective against all known variants. 2. No variant has been shown to be more deadly. If snowflakes want to go hide and quiver under a stone that's absolutely fine by me. But don't expect the rest of society to put their lives on hold to assuage your irrational and cowardly fears. The Gurkhas have a motto: "better to die than live as a coward"!
    8
  4702. And never forgive YouTube for aiding and abetting, which it is STILL doing!
    8
  4703. Given time you can replace the detonation mechanism.
    8
  4704. As others have said Markle probably got Harry already very close to that state, so she doesn't have to work hard to finish the job.
    8
  4705. I do so love it when the vehicles are moving. That way you know a few Orcs have been roasted, and the world is a better place.
    8
  4706. Ukrainian forces are so considerate, keeping those Orcs toasty warm during a cold winter.
    8
  4707. I'm not suggesting murdering Russian civilians, in the same way that incontinent Putin murders Ukrainian women and children, but Moscow really does need to have some special ops teams go in and take out serious chunks of its infrastructure.
    8
  4708. If countries are prepared to buy oil from Russia they will continue to do so at the price they are currently paying, regardless of what the EU or G7 says. Those countries that will abide by this would probably have also abided by a total embargo.
    8
  4709. UK needs to do the same!
    8
  4710. If it wasn't serious then, for propaganda reasons, Russia would be very quick to parade a quickly recovering general.
    8
  4711. I'd like thank the Russian MoD for the very entertaining and clean cut videos they regularly release. The vehicles are very clean, and the uniforms are absolutely spotless. Also, no animals or people are ever hurt during their filming.
    8
  4712. The trouble is that all that the TACO will give Putin is ever extending deadlines!
    8
  4713. Just give it a little longer and all us unvaccinated will have to wear yellow stars. Isn't it interesting how large reputable studies, in Israel and Cleveland, which show that natural immunity is better, are being ignored.
    8
  4714. These missiles don't come cheap, so in a way it's good news. It shows that Russia is indeed running out of missiles, and getting increasingly desperate.
    8
  4715. These are just the ones that MPs have chosen to tell us about. Many more have probably been submitted. What's the English for "let's go Brandon"?
    8
  4716. Every decent person in the world is so enjoying this. But where are all the comments from the Putin fanboys?
    8
  4717. Great shot at 1:25! You can never roast too many Orcs.
    8
  4718. AND jail them!
    8
  4719. Believe it or not, my comment suggesting surrendering to Ukraine forces was removed!
    8
  4720. Combien de fois faut-il répéter que les propriétaires de chiens doivent être tenus entièrement responsables de tout préjudice causé par leurs animaux de compagnie ? Le commentaire est en français car YouTube le supprimerait s'il était en anglais.
    8
  4721. This maybe what climate change looks like, but it's also what gross stupidity and indolence looks like too. There are northern regions of Australia that get an absolutely unbelievable amount of rain. Water networks should have been set up to get this water where it's needed DECADES AGO! Also once enough vegetation is established transpiration might change Australia's climate and get rid of its deserts for good.
    8
  4722. The ones who lost their sausages a few days ago.
    8
  4723. That's why those us us that weren't complete idiots voted Reform UK.
    8
  4724. With his earlier talk of "Historic Russia", and a picture of the infamous Alexandra III in his kitchen, you don't need to be the sharpest pencil in the box to understand that having Putin in power and lasting peace are mutually incompatible.
    8
  4725. It's bad enough being a Tory or Labour voter, but you would now have to be barking mad to pay good money to be a member of either of these parties.
    8
  4726. Trump is like one of those yappy little dogs. Lots and lots of barking, but little else.
    8
  4727. Let's be honest. Very few parents actually want to know what's really going on in their child's school. Because it would mean sleepless nights, feeling guilty for not doing anything about it. A decade ago I released a book "Behind School Gates" saying exactly what is going on in most state secondary schools. It got widely varying reviews: withering 1 stars from outraged teachers (probably managers) and 5 star reviews from other teachers who said I was spot on. But here's the thing. Only teachers seemed interested. Parents didn't want to be told what was going on.
    8
  4728. And paid for the younger generation's education.
    8
  4729. A half-hearted gesture by a half-witted president.
    8
  4730. As in the UK, this is the kind of thing that happens when you have been far too easy on criminals for decades.
    8
  4731. When are the French going to recognise that tine and time again Herr Macron has shown a very strong disposition towards being a dictator. Of course, dictators always think they know better than anyone else what's best for everyone.
    8
  4732. If this wasn't much of a deal does anyone think that the Kremlin would be making such a fuss about it? Putin and his cronies are very frightened!
    8
  4733. Not can't, WON'T!
    8
  4734. Before we get too concerned perhaps we should consider the possibility that this is Putin getting really desperate. Yes, he's launched a lot of missiles, but can he sustain this level of attack: very unlikely. With the start of the new year an awful lot of people will be reflecting that Putin's "special operation" which should have lasted just a couple of weeks is now getting on for two years. Putin NEEDS to put on a show for them.
    8
  4735. The even bigger problem, for Downing Street, is it proves that lockdowns were completely wrong!
    8
  4736. Kaliningrad should never have been given to Russia after WW II. Maybe it's time to take it back.
    8
  4737. Remember another thing. Allah doesn't want women wearing oppressive clothing. It's misogynistic men, who claim to speak for him, that say he does.
    8
  4738. With enough will to do so, those promised cluster munitions should NOW be at the front line. They will most certainly help the fight a lot.
    8
  4739. France is a very beautiful country with generally better weather, great food and culture, and a functioning health system. If migrants prefer to risk life and limb to get to the UK then we are definitely doing something(s) very wrong!
    8
  4740. The sooner Finland, Sweden, and Moldova join NATO, the sooner the UK and its allies can send troops and heavy weapons to help protect them too!
    8
  4741. You forgot to ask Putin for your daily banana allowance.
    8
  4742. I know that TTK doesn't, but the vast majority of us expect people who come to our country to obey our laws. Dubai has every right to expect the same.
    8
  4743. They need to be practicing ejecting.
    8
  4744. Maybe they aren't too bright.
    8
  4745. A second job? Is there another country that needs buggering up?
    8
  4746. Almost every supermarket now has one-way gates you have to go through to get in. In Enfield Town M&S had to close a very convenient entrance and exit. All this expense and inconvenience because the police and courts won't do the job are taxes pay them to do!
    8
  4747. Drone 1 : Mad Max 0
    8
  4748. If we had police like those I really do wonder if I could resist retiring a few of them, in the Blade Runner meaning of the word.
    8
  4749. Australia has been the "laughing stock of the world" ever since the start of the pandemic. It's just that the entertainment is now shifting from light-hearted comedy to something a lot darker. Nevertheless, it's still giving the rest of the world a good laugh.
    8
  4750. Well, being under the tender care of a good old-fashioned sergeant major is exactly what so many generation Z desperately need!
    8
  4751. They should have started this training over a year ago!
    8
  4752. The trouble is that Starmer will now probably open the floodgates.
    8
  4753. Poles and all of us with Polish relatives will never forget how Russia launched a totally unprovoked attack on Poland. My father spent 2 years in a Russian Labour camp simply for crossing from German occupied to Russian occupied Poland.
    8
  4754. If he were doing the same in the UK he would definitely find even more!
    8
  4755. It's like the massive numbers of mental health issues that so many people are proud to claim they suffer from. Years ago we would have recognised that most were nothing more than a lack of character, and most people would have been deeply ashamed to play this card.
    8
  4756. Yes, it's like the way Russia liberated 22,000 Polish officers in Katyn!
    8
  4757. This is a "special operation" to save the people of Mariupol from Nazis.
    8
  4758. That only applies in a free democracy, which the UK no longer is.
    8
  4759. Perhaps Xi Jinping should first respect the rights Taiwan's 23 million people who value their independence and DON'T want to be ruled by him.
    8
  4760.  @Bitchslapper316  I don't have the link, but the story was published by a reasonably reliable media company. Apparently, according to the person who leaked it, it occurred at Putin's Moscow residence. It's just a shame that it wasn't more widely reported, simply for the massive humiliation it would have caused.
    8
  4761. Well done. The only sad bit is that self propelled guns don't have Orcs to roast.
    8
  4762. But Labour was quick enough to vote for all the government's lockdowns and restrictions, that have buggered the hell out this country.
    8
  4763. And his son is now in charge.

  4764. ​ @Lernard-dg6xw  Considering Biden's mental state you are probably right. If the Democrats cared about America and Americans they would urgently find a new candidate. In fact, if Biden was able to think clearly he would step down from the running for the greater good.
    8
  4765. Is anyone at all surprised by this?
    8
  4766. The evidence indicating that those with natural immunity should be accorded at least as much rights as those vaccinated is now overwhelming. So much for "listening to the science". But once people realise how good natural immunity is they might start asking why the advice given in the Great Barrington Declaration wasn't heeded. Almost at the start of the pandemic this advice was given to government. It clearly stated that lockdowns would be ineffective, but terribly damaging. So only the most vulnerable should be isolated until natural herd immunity developed, or there was a vaccine for them. Excellent and long lasting natural immunity shows just how right the GBD is. But Boris and his nasty gang don't want people realising that there was no need to destroy all those businesses and jobs. That there was no need for young people to have their education and mental health buggered to hell.
    8
  4767. If Ukraine can do this quickly, there's a good chance, as things now stand, that it would be enough to topple Putin.
    8
  4768. I would never have been stupid enough to answer a call from work during my free time unless I had agreed a decent allowance for being on call!
    8
  4769. "Russian intelligence service" must be the archetypal oxymoron.🤣
    8
  4770. The gas in the North Sea, and the wind that fills our turbines belong to the British people, not a few incredibly greedy bastards, and their avaricious shareholders. These urgently need to be nationalised, without compensation, and the energy sold at cost.
    8
  4771. Wow. Beating some of the clowns we have recently had with the Tories took some doing.
    8
  4772. Definitely don't want people feeling safe, because then they might start considering how totally wrong and unnecessary vaccine passports are.😉
    8
  4773. Austria's most (in)famous son would be so proud!
    8
  4774. What this Labour MP needs to remember is that his boss Starmer wholeheartedly, and enthusiastically, supported Boris' lockdown tyranny, that crucified those whom Labour is meant to care the most about.😉
    8
  4775. Realistically, and honestly, one really has to ask how many of those remaining hostages are actually alive.
    8
  4776. ​ @lemcakes32422  I'm not against anybody foraging just for their own use. But I'm against anybody, no matter where they are from, that takes more than the need just for themselves. It's always the selfish, greedy pigs that spoil things for everybody else.
    8
  4777. I suspect there are now an awful lot of people deeply regretting having voted for either the Tories or Labour.
    8
  4778. That's like saying "the Pope may be a Catholic".
    8
  4779. I'd just heard that in a pathetic attempt at something like Monty Python's knight with his limbs cut off, the two remaining lanes have been reopened to light traffic. I wonder if a car packed with C4 counts as light traffic?
    8
  4780. 99% of people DO NOT NEED these poorly tested vaccines, and if we hadn't burned all our books on medical ethics they would tell you this. Do most people know how many healthy people in the UK have died from covid-19. It's NOT 150,000, but just 17,500, almost all of whom were over 65.
    8
  4781. The Chicken Taco is doing exactly the same as he did in Ukraine. Ever extended deadlines, and no action.
    8
  4782. For most people getting Omicron is a non-event that they don't even notice. For the rest it's no worse than a MILD cold. On balance it does far more good to have such doctors and nurses at work, helping lots and lots of people. The same is true for teachers, train drivers and many others. This Chicken Little madness must stop!
    8
  4783. To understand Rachel Reeves you just have to remember to indisputable facts: 1. She isn't very bright. 2. She isn't very honest.
    8
  4784. This is precisely why, for sometime now, people like me have been saying that giving Putin a ceasefire would be utter madness.
    8
  4785. What a pathetic sanction. Maybe Sunak would also like to ground them. This PM is a complete and utter joke.
    8
  4786. Of course boys should respect girls and women, but this is absolutely insane. Are teachers also expected to report any child who now makes a comment that some Woke might find "hurtful"? Mind you, I bet nothing will be done if it's a case of schoolboys of a certain religion insisting that women should be subservient to men.
    8
  4787. I honestly believe that Stammer's sole end game is to support the government in everything it does that is unpopular, in the hope that it will win him the next election. This is all that matters to him. He has no principles, and doesn't give a damn about the British people.
    8
  4788. Isn't it funny how Amnesty International is the lawyers' favourite charity, by far. Of course, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that they make shed loads of money off the back of defending people's "human rights".
    8
  4789. Come on people. The FCA is 100% on the side of the banks! You might like to check how many in senior positions at the FCA subsequently get offered nice cushy jobs by the banks. Here's another incidence of the FCA's complete incompetence, or deliberate collaboration with the banks. In July the government told us that by the end of August the FCA would have dealt with greedy banks not passing interest rate rises on to their savers. They have still done bugger all about this!
    8
  4790. If this is the case then it's extremely important that Ukraine should be given the same weapons to use against Russia. Psycho Putin, and the morons that support him, must be made to understand that whatever Russia does to others will be done to Russia.
    8
  4791. I doubt they now have many of these missiles left. So they are filming them while they still can.
    8
  4792. Not nearly enough damage. Need bigger drones and missiles.
    8
  4793. It's also crucifying millions of OAPs who Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock", and who will now get a pension rise well below inflation.
    8
  4794. What the hell is the point of having an expiry date only to be told that your passport isn't valid months before it expires? The craziness needs to end.
    8
  4795. The truth is that even most of those who are vulnerable will probably just shrug this virus off. But don't repeat it in front of snowflakes as they get extremely upset when anybody suggests that covid-19 isn't the big bad bogey man.
    8
  4796. Whether or not you like or support the unions one thing should be clear to anyone who isn't a complete fool. The most effective strike is the one that causes maximum damage, inconvenience and expense.
    8
  4797. You pick on a region that doesn't mutate. Unfortunately there's always the possibility that a highly conserved region might be common, and important, across a great many lifeforms, so targeting it might have terrible consequences that take some time and/or a large sample of people to become apparent.
    8
  4798. True, but Putin likes to watch these videos, and soils his nappies if they don't tell him they hit something.
    8
  4799. It's a very old adage that "attack is the best form of defence". With this war not far off 2 years now, Ukraine should have been making efforts to take out the bases from which Russian missiles, drones and aircraft will be launched. Of course, part of the problem was bed-wetters in NATO and the West who didn't want to upset Putin. I also really hope Ukraine has learnt how totally insane pausing last year's offensive over the winter was.
    8
  4800. I just said something similar. I'd sooner trust a dodgy used car salesman than Steve Barclay.
    8
  4801. Yep, and the government doesn't want people seeing that natural immunity DOES stop transmission.
    8
  4802.  @hissingsidll750  No doubt you would have said the same about those condemning Hitler.
    8
  4803. "Micromanaged" rings very disturbing bell, and not just for the NHS. When I was young there was vastly less admin and management. In most firms a few people managed the payroll, without sticking their noses into other areas that didn't concern them. Like a malignant cancer this has mutated into large HR departments in many organisations. The same goes for registries in universities, that used to be run by a few old ladies. I could give many more examples. In so many organisations we now have parasitic managers sucking the lifeblood, like leeches, from those doing the real work, and often making their jobs much harder.
    8
  4804. Could it possibly be that from very bitter experience museum staff have learned the utmost necessity of not taking their eyes off certain groups?
    8
  4805. Doesn't having someone as deputy PM who at 44 spends all night in a nightclub fill you with confidence. Most of us would have grown out of this at least a decade earlier.
    8
  4806. Expect any barbarity that you can possibly imagine from the Hamas animals. Sky News Australia posted a story about 40 babies they had murdered!
    8
  4807. The thing that gets me is that all too often when one sees the mothers of these children on TV they look, to put it charitably, very well fed.
    8
  4808. On the ballot slip, for those who even bother to turn up, are three options: 1. Join Russia 2. Fall out a window 3. Get an all expenses paid extended holiday in Siberia
    8
  4809. Most of the FSB are nothing more than vicious goons.
    8
  4810. As I said several times before, if this had been the situation then it would have been sorted out with the utmost alacrity and publicity.
    8
  4811. With some universities actively discriminating against kids from nice homes, this is a very sensible thing to do. I tutored a very bright and attractive girl (both parents doctors) who attended one of the very best state schools in the country. She passed her STEP exam and got her interview at a Cambridge college only to be rejected. I've no doubt that if she had lived on a run down council estate, had parents on benefits, and gone to a really bad state school then she would have been welcomed into Cambridge with open arms.
    8
  4812. Hence the need to start calling out "mask wanker".
    8
  4813. Maybe the very reason many support Poo Tin is precisely because they have had little or no exposure to Western values.
    8
  4814. Only in the dreams of Putin's rent boys.
    8
  4815. I can certainly think of a whole host of things that if they happened to me I would want to be euthanized, rather than continue. Quality of life is what matters, above all else, not life per-se. Also what quality, or lack thereof a person is prepared to accept can vary very dramatically.
    8
  4816. I hope all of those giving the standing ovation remember that old adage: "actions speak louder than words"!
    8
  4817. This and the last government play the stupid games, but it's WE who pickup the stupid prizes!
    8
  4818. Don't you hate it when an Orc doesn't die?
    8
  4819. There is still a large Orc infestation to be removed from Ukraine. So I hope the momentum of the last few days can be kept up, and more Russian supply lines can be destroyed. I've got a bottle of Champagne that I'll probably put in the fridge when the Kerch Bridge is destroyed, and the liberation of Crimea begins.
    8
  4820. Why is it always the decent MPs that get topped, instead of those who richly deserve it like Hancock and Gove.
    8
  4821. I have complete trust in Gove not telling the truth.
    8
  4822. When someone like this is released from prison MI5 should take them out, and the police should be instructed that it is not in the public interest for them to waste resources investigating terrorist deaths.
    8
  4823. With the economic crisis, expect people to still eat the food in the fridges and freezers that goes off because of the cuts: and end up in hospital. Also people's central heating won't work, so expect this to kill off some older people. Not that they will be able to call for help, as many phone also how rely on electricity.
    8
  4824. Yep, hurty words and you go to jail, but shoplift (often with threatening behaviour or assault) and that's fine.
    8
  4825. Shush! Downing Street and the snowflakes get very upset when people mention natural immunity.
    8
  4826. If those satellites could hear we would be deafened by the sound of Putin rent boys crying.
    8
  4827. When it comes to energy, Australia's Labour government has well and truly screwed the Australian people: and continues to do so. It looks like our Labour government is determined to give them a run for their (our) money.
    8
  4828. The reason details of this budget are being kept secret is that it's likely to be so awful that it will go down as one of Britain's darkest days!
    8
  4829. Most kids really love these dolls. About 30 years ago I trudged all the way into London to buy one from Hamleys for my baby nephew.
    8
  4830. It looks so like exterminating farmyard vermin, except that one might feel some sympathy for rats and mice.
    8
  4831. My post a few days ago, correcting the term "grooming gang" got well over 1000 likes. Isn't it funny that my post, about the same time as yours now hasn't got a single one? Could it possibly be that YouTube is deleting and hiding posts that most of us agree with?
    8
  4832. The NHS app reminds me of the fire alarm installed outside my kitchen. Every time I made a slice of toast, and for many other things too, it went off. So its batteries were removed. Almost everyone pinged by this app will not become infected. Anyone who doesn't delete it is incredibly stupid.
    8
  4833. "Looks a bit like failure"? Also looks a bit like DICTATORSHIP!
    8
  4834. No, jailing opponents, or excluding them from standing is completely democratic.
    8
  4835. When a politician tells the truth it's usually by accident.
    8
  4836. Met Police take note!
    8
  4837. Actually there is some truth in this. Unhappy, and cowardly frightened people release more cortisol into the blood stream, which impairs their immune system. I have to admit that the thought of cowards hastening their own end does make me happy, because I really hate cowards.
    8
  4838. Starmer will say and do anything to get into No.10. But like any sleazy salesman you will regret it if you trust him.
    8
  4839. If you speak another language you will find the YouTube's artificial stupidity bots have great difficulty dealing with comments that aren't in English.
    8
  4840. Two questions spring to mind. 1. If those in the Solomon Islands government were corrupt then why (for the sake of the very poor people) wasn't a special ops team sent in to take them out? 2. If the Solomon Islands government is decent then why didn't the West lock after them better?
    8
  4841. No doubt Putin will claim this was a fireworks practice for his 9th May victory parade.🤣🤣🤣
    8
  4842. And many more US Senators would like to see Fauci jailed!
    8
  4843. Being able to visit free democratic countries gives Russians an opportunity to see what life is like when one isn't living under a deranged, psychopathic dictator. So banning them from Europe might be very counterproductive, and instill a kind of bunker/Stockholm syndrome mentality in them. I've taught quite a few Russian students, and to be honest they were among my favourites. I've also worked with some great Russian colleagues. I doubt if any of these are Putin fanboys or fangirls.
    8
  4844. Some comfort can be drawn from the fact that lots of poorly equipped Orcs will be getting frostbite and freezing to death in their trenches.
    8
  4845. Perhaps that tells you that Boris, Hancock, and the rest didn't believe the crap they were peddling to everyone else!
    8
  4846. We are talking about a country that cold-bloodedly murdered 22,000 Polish officers in WW II, and hasn't changed. Of course Russia did this!
    8
  4847. But at least it won't cost you your life!
    8
  4848. What an idiot! It's precisely because Gaza was more or less autonomous that October 7th was able to happen. If Hague's advice had been followed we would have seen things vastly worse than this happening.
    8
  4849. Peur-être L'équipe de Trump nous respecterait et nous admirerait si nous lancions une attaque non provoquée contre un pays voisin. Le commentaire original était en anglais, mais YouTube l'a supprimé.
    8
  4850. Saw the Delta movie last year, and found it really boring, so not interested in this even more boring sequel. The Delta scaremongering was a complete scam. I can't believe people are really stupid enough to fall for the same con again. Like Delta, it's no coincidence that governments have pulled a new variant out of their Christmas stocking. Come on people, wise up! Or perhaps that should be rise up.
    8
  4851. Also vast amounts are wasted on grossly overpaid managers, and having two or three times as many administrative staff as are really needed.
    8
  4852. Because her parents entered the country LEGALLY!
    8
  4853. TACO will give Putin yet another month's deadline, which will be extended when he laughs in his face.
    8
  4854. Does anyone really believe that someone who can do something like this is even remotely interested in peace?
    8
  4855. Diane Abbott shouldn't have to ask. If we weren't dealing with endemic corruption this report would have immediately been published for all to see.
    8
  4856. This just shows how incredibly thick Putin is. "Losing face" is a very big deal for Chinese people, and Putin has just caused Emperor Xi to lose face very publicly.
    8
  4857. Well said Joe. The UK and Poland stand resolutely with you on this. As for France and Germany?
    8
  4858. Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot cheaper, and much less effort to just take out mad Kim Jong Un?
    8
  4859. God prefers to be called "he". You learn something new every day. No doubt God has told the C of E that in the spirit of LGBT friendliness he's now happy to be called something gender neutral like Jean. Next week God will reveal to the C of E that his son Jesus was androgynous.
    8
  4860. Now watch a few bent lawyers fatten their wallets by trying to convince everyone what a fine fellow Masud is.
    8
  4861. People need to remember that governments often use wars as a means of deflecting people's attention from other issues.
    8
  4862. This is pure wishful thinking. Sure there has been a vast amount of vocalisation. But simply bleating DOES NOT remove despots.
    8
  4863. Donald Trump got an awful lot wrong, but one thing he was absolutely right about was defunding the WHO!
    8
  4864. It most certainly is, but both this and previous governments would rather see the law broken than offend Islamists!
    8
  4865. Any CEO of a western company found helping Russia needs a late night visit from the CIA or MI5!
    8
  4866. Meanwhile, and for at least a decade, UK schools have been doing exactly the opposite. They have been throwing the applications of older, more experienced teacher straight in the bin. Most only consider the cheapest newly qualified teachers, and in fact many even prefer to take on trainee teachers who are cheaper still. If any parents are reading this they might like to ask their kids how old most of their teachers are, if they haven't noticed this on open evenings. My own nephew was given a trainee with an English degree to teach him maths, and within a couple of years she was even let loose on 6th form further maths classes, even though she was useless!
    8
  4867. Even with these new rules kids can end up being "taught" by truly awful "teachers". Two darlings of many schools are Cheap First and Tools Direct. These enable schools to hire at a fraction the cost of a real teacher. My nephew ended up with one for maths. She had an English degree, and within a couple of years she was let loose on the sixth form. Would it come as any surprise to hear that she was absolutely hopeless?
    8
  4868. Who is counting your tears?
    8
  4869. “Labour And Starmer LIED” That's like saying that the Pope said mass.
    8
  4870. Brennan forgets to mention the vastly excessive amount of paperwork, which is also a major problem in the NHS.
    8
  4871. For many years now if you sang a certain song at Tottenham Hotspur football matches you would get arrested. But the truth is that while the song was in exceedingly bad taste it was much more a case of winding up the other side than intending any real hatred. However we now have a large number of certain ethnicities in this county whose actions are very deliberately anti-Semitic, and our WOKE police turn a blind eye and deaf ear to their appalling, and illegal, behaviour.
    8
  4872. At least Aussies don't have long to wait for an election. The very many fools in the UK who now regret voting Labour have to wait another 4½ years. Imagine how much more damage our Labour government can do in that time.
    8
  4873. Vote in haste repent at leisure! Well, for the next 5 years in the UK. Brits had a real alternative to both the Labour and Conservative parties, but they were too stupid and cowardly to take it.
    8
  4874.  @goenzoy712  Dream on Putin fanboy. Crimea IS going back to Ukraine.
    8
  4875. For how long?
    8
  4876. Because the government tyrants wouldn't like it.
    8
  4877. Single mother, with lots of kids, on benefits?
    8
  4878. Perhaps what's really needed is a very strict prescription of what can be taught in schools. On the one hand we don't want kids being taught that all the various kinds of perversions should be embraced and aspired to. But equally well we mustn't let some sick parents get away with indoctrinating their kids with "values" that a Puritan living a few centuries ago would have promoted.
    8
  4879. Looking at the way the woman at 1:12 is covered up, I can see why she left Afghanistan, as the Taliban would give her a gold star for going the extra mile.
    8
  4880.  @lemcakes32422  That's exactly what Moscow needs.
    8
  4881. Of course, if TALENTED software engineers had been employed to write the Post Office system, rather than the cheapest, then none of this would probably have happened!
    8
  4882. The two-child benefit cap must definitely be kept. If you can't afford to have children you shouldn't have them, and with contraception freely available there is absolutely no excuse. The worst part is that those who have the most children are usually far and away the least fit to be parents.
    8
  4883. Unless there IS another 0.5% rate rise soon then inflation WILL go up again. Inflation punishes all those who aren't in a position to demand wage rises that keep up with it. This is usually the poorest, among them millions of pensioners struggling on a far from generous state pension. It is also is a massive disincentive to save, since one is constantly watching those savings being devalued. As such inflation is a terrible evil that NEEDS to be vanquished.
    8
  4884. One thing she deserves credit for. She has destroyed the stereotype of the beautiful blonde Swedish woman.
    8
  4885. Like the bully who runs crying to the teacher when the little kid half his size hits him back.
    8
  4886. @D C Ever heard of N.I.? It's the tax we all pay that's meant to guarantee us a DECENT pension we can live on, and God knows it's a big enough tax. However despite successive governments hiking, it over and over again, they have also embezzled it!
    8
  4887. No one doubts the determination and devotion of Ukrainian pilots, but how long does it take for flying an F-16 to become almost second nature, because this is what's needed in a fight. Also, those carrying out the maintenance need to be almost able to do it in their sleep, which also takes time. Does the Ukrainian air force have pilots, and support crew, that are up to speed. If so then we should give them F-16s, but if not then giving them more MiGs, with upgraded weapons would be a better strategy.
    8
  4888. With Belarus doing the same from the other side, this is a bit like a repeat of 1939!
    8
  4889. That's roughly the same number as the soldiers that have died or suffered life changing injuries.
    8
  4890. Think about just how much damage that 10% of villains can do if they reach positions of great power. That's why it's so important to unmask them and kick them out!
    8
  4891. Sadly the well deserved awards have been heavily tarnished by others that have been given to the likes of Blair and Whitty. Our honours system is intensely corrupt, which is why I would never accept an honour.
    8
  4892.  @philipwakeford6923  The trouble is that anything calling the safety of vaccines into question is purged without any consideration as to whether there's research supporting the claim. And the same goes for comments, well backed up by the science, explaining why most people don't need vaccination.
    8
  4893. I'm struggling to control my laughter. People went through hell with the absurd lockdowns and, as everyone said, it was all for nothing.
    8
  4894. Randy Andy is no angel, but what I see from all those years ago is a picture of 17 year old girl who seems to be really enjoying her high life. Today I see a woman who is definitely well past her sell by date. She has already made $500,000, but being very greedy has come back to take a second bite.
    8
  4895. Those defences slowing down Ukraine are in place because the Ukrainians called a halt to their previous very impressive offensive over the winter and spring. People like me warned that this would happen if there was a pause, and the Orcs have well and truly made maximum use of the respite they were given. Unfortunately air power, that Ukraine doesn't have, is now needed for a fast advance, and in a few months it will be winter again. If the Orcs are once again given a winter break, without destroying their supply lines then it's hard to see this war going anywhere.
    8
  4896. Don't stand near upstairs windows, watch out for men with umbrellas, and don't accept cups of tea from strangers.
    8
  4897. Hamza -> Hamaz -> Hamas
    8
  4898. When are most people going to realise how incredibly stupid fining a NHS trust or utility company is? The money is ALWAYS clawed back from us, or we suffer worse services: often both. Companies don't commit crimes their employees do. So these are the people that need to be punished.
    8
  4899. How unreasonable of the EU. Both sides freely sighed a binding agreement, and now they expect our wide-boy government to honour it.
    8
  4900. More likely just destroyed a few trees and bushes.🤣
    8
  4901. Pity we couldn't have a crackdown on bad kids who disrupt the lessons of the good ones: far more important.
    8
  4902. Am I the only one who finds myself thinking of Baldrick's "cunning plans"? Maybe Sunak will stand on the cliffs of Dover with two pencils up his nose.
    8
  4903. Would Starmer's shrink please explain to him, in simple words that he can understand, that he is not in power and nobody cares what he calls for or demands.
    8
  4904. Now we know why those riots occurred in Dublin!
    8
  4905. Hopefully, by the time Charles visits France Herr Macron will have been replaced by a president who respects democracy.
    8
  4906. Well if there hadn't been grossly unfair and exploitative pay rises for years, or decades in some cases, there wouldn't be anything to do in one go!
    8
  4907. Comments supporting death penalty, for child torturers and murders, are being removed!
    8
  4908. You know how sick, and totally unfit for purpose, out police forces have become when they carry out such truly despicable acts.
    8
  4909. An accident close to our shores could be disastrous. The wisest course of action would be to see that an "accident" occurred while this ship is well offshore. I'm sure we have a few Ukrainian refuges with advanced PADI qualifications, who would be delighted to help out.

  4910. Tim, 25% sounds about the number who would have already had natural immunity, and therefore never needed the vaccine in the first place. As you yourself just said, side effects are definitely more common in those with natural immunity, which is really no surprise. The bottom line is that by vaccinating such people we are causing them suffering that gives them absolutely no benefit by way of compensation. I needn't tell you that this goes completely against medical ethics. However, far more concerning are plans to vaccinate those under 30 (maybe even under 40). It may well benefit this very low risk group if they catch covid-19 and develop natural immunity. The vaccines only target one viral antigen, but their own immune system would probably target quite a few. This could mean far better immunity that could protect them for a lot longer and confer superior immunity to future variants and similar viruses. So by vaccinating this group we may well being doing them harm in the longer term: possibly very serious harm.

  4911. Believe it or not there is a very well thought out logic behind why knives, guns and other items for self-defense are allowed to be carried in the US. The reasoning goes like this. The bad guys aren't going to follow the law, so they will carry whatever, regardless of legislation. Therefore you have to even the playing field for good people. The law in the UK is definitely biased towards criminals. No decent and sensible person will ever forgive the courts for jailing Tony Martin, who shot a burglar in his own isolated farm house. There were two of them who had been terrorizing him. He should have got a medal, not a jail sentence.

  4915. I'm sick of seeing this come up time and time again. Yes, timed exams aren't perfect, but they are by far the fairest method of assessment that we have. The way gradings shot up when they were left to teachers, shows beyond all doubt that schools and teachers cannot be trusted to make fair assessments. As a teacher who graded fairly myself I was pressured to up my students grades, so as not to upset parents. I refused, but I'm in a very small minority.

  4916. I was in Iceland yesterday and chanced to look at the cost of some of the vegan stuff. It was absolutely outrageous. I could have made the equivalent with good quality steak for considerably less. It's no good telling people they should eat less meat when they are are being ripped off big time to do so. Why pay a lot more for something that doesn't taste nearly as good?
    8
  4917. Putin can be so proud of this "victory". Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of well feed and well equipped Russians defeated about a thousand hungry poorly armed men. Russia needs to have a special day to commemorate such a brave and manly achievement.
    8
  4918. So, most of these NHS workers probably now have NATURAL IMMUNITY, which is vastly better than anything they can get from vaccination, which won't benefit them at all. But Downing Street is going to drive them out of a health service that is already desperately short staffed and still hemorrhaging doctors and nurses. You couldn't make it up. If I get a full frontal lobotomy can I become a cabinet minister or PM, or do I need even more of my brain removed?

  4919. Now the UN is getting a tiny taste of what the families of those kidnapped by Hamas are feeling!

  4928. Well the good news is that the prevailing winds will probably blow most of the radioactive waste into Russia!
    8
  4929. Blame the poor for being lazy! There are many, from countries like Vietnam, who came over here with just the clothes they wore, often not even speaking English. They and their children are now doing very well. That's because they worked bloody hard, and didn't expect to live off the backs of others!
    8
  4930. This is really good news for the planet and mankind, but it particularly needs to happen in some countries where people continue to breed like rabbits, even when they can't afford to properly bring up their children. People might also like to note well that despite the scaremongering over coviv-19 the world's population is still increasing.
    8
  4931. With a report that this variant has been detected in Belgium, it's highly likely that it's already in most countries, including the UK. Even if the vaccines don't work against it I'm not in the least worried for two reasons: 1. Viruses often evolve to become less deadly, because keeping your host alive makes it easier to spread. 2. From the studies of cross-immunity in those who had sars-cov-1 20 years ago, it's very likely that those of us recovered from covid-19, with NATURAL IMMUNITY, will not get infected. Isn't it funny that no matter how much the government tries to deny natural immunity the science keeps on throwing it back in their face. Isn't it also very funny how this virus is constantly mutating, but how the bad-ass variants only seem to come along at Christmas.

  4941. Considering the threat that Putin poses, what Turkey is doing is utterly despicable! If you have a holiday booked in Turkey then please do the decent thing and cancel it. If you are thinking of going there don't. Go to Greece instead. It's got just as much to offer.

  4944. What irony. A wanted International Criminal Court felon talking about legal status.

  4945. Very nice, but don't leave a job half done. Use some of those Storm Shadows to destroy the other half too. How Putin would cry when his beloved Kerch bridge become completely unusable.
    8
  4946. Contrary to popular belief GCHQ doesn't employ the brightest, for the following reason. If you have ever seen one of their recruitment adverts you will notice that it takes between 6 months and a year to get a job offer: incompetence of the highest level. Anyone worth their salt will have found a far more rewarding job in that time!

  4951. This leaves the Kerch bridge vulnerable, and Ukraine must take full advantage of the small window of opportunity to put it permanently out of commission.
    8
  4952. What is wrong with Ukraine? This has been going on right from the start, and yet Moscow remains virtually unscathed. With far less resources, the IRA managed to destroy the NatWest Tower, so Ukraine should certainly be able to take down a few of Moscow's skyscrapers. If Russians knew that every such atrocity would be properly answered then maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
    8
  4953. 9 out of 10 hospitalisations are over 80, and most have now received there first jab. Just make sure they get their second one in the RECOMMENDED 2 or 3 weeks and the problem is over. It really doesn't matter in the least how many other people then get infected because they won't be clogging up the NHS. So, despite the Downing Street lies, there will be no justification for maintaining restrictions.
    8
  4954. Maybe those retired from the IRA could go over to Ukraine and teach them how to deal with such Russian atrocities.
    8
  4955. Are we seeing significant rises in the numbers in hospital or dying, apart from those who don't count because they refused the vaccine: why should others suffer for their bad choice? If the answer is no, and most infections are no worse than a bad cold then the snowflakes need to be shot and June 21 needs to go ahead.
    8
  4956. Lets tell the truth. The government doesn't give a toss about the care home crisis, because most of them have enough money to know it won't affect them. The ONLY thing they are concerned with is that it doesn't lose them votes.
    8
  4957. For the sake of the whole world Putin needs to be booted out of all of Ukraine: including Crimea.
    8
  4958. ​ @Worldsamess2024  I'm thinking of just one remote, hard to get to island, that few people would want to visit. I think you would find that after a short stay on it many would be begging to be returned to their own countries. And if prospective illegals knew that this is what awaited them most would probably choose to stay in France.

    8
  4964. As long as I know that Moscow will be nuked in return I'll continue to laugh at Putin's threats.
    8
  4965. We all know that Ukraine did it, and are incredibly proud of them, but let's keep the Orcs guessing as to how. It's harder to defend against similar future attacks when one doesn't know the details of this one. As for using the same exploding ammo story that they used when the Moskva was sunk, how pathetic is that?
    8
  4966. There are some kids who genuinely need extra help, but I'm far from being the only one to think that terms like "special needs" and ADHD are used far too often to excuse appalling behaviour and bad parenting.

  4968. A little over 30 years ago I lived in Bray for a few months. What a happy, peaceful place Ireland then was. People may not have been rich, but they generally felt safe and content, as I did too. I don't recognise the Dublin I knew and loved. My mother, must be turning in her grave at what's been done to what was a wonderful country when she grew up there. I could almost cry for what these corrupt politicians have done to the country and people that they are meant to serve.
    8
  4969. Let's be honest. The vast majority of the public don't give a toss about the welfare of nurses and ambulance drivers. The only time they give them the slightest thought is when they need their help.
    8
  4970. It's a firework celebration in place of a victory parade.
    8
  4971. What I can't get my head around is the jaw dropping stupidity of wanting to stop HS2 at Gospel Oak. What kind of complete imbecile doesn't bring a high speed line right into the city centre? As has been pointed out, and recently proved on the mainstream news, the travelling time wasted travelling between Gospel Oak and Euston, plus the inconvenience, makes HS2 less attractive than what we already have. But, even worse, so much work and expense has already gone in to bringing HS2 into Euston. Suspending this is yet another example of the breathtaking incompetence of this government.
    8
  4972. Unfortunately, overpaid MPs, who earn over £84,000 already, taking a pay rise, isn't going to encourage the RMT to moderate their pay claims!
    8
  4973. So true! We should have learnt this obvious truth from Chamberlain's abortive 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler: because Putin is just as mad and bad.
    8
  4974. Ah, the exemplary quality and durability of Russian civil engineering.
    8
  4975. This is why you don't stuff your face with chocolate, crisps and cream cakes. It is a well established fact that being fat has an adverse effect on the immune system: it's not just a covid thing. And as we all know, losing the blubber is much harder than gaining it. Parents who love their kids should try much harder to give them a balanced diet and make sure they do plenty of exercise.
    8
  4976. While I feel very sorry for the girls who have to put up with this I've little sympathy for their parents. If you have kids YOU, not somebody else, look after them. Unless there is an overriding reason, like both parents being on black ops missions, you keep them at home with you. It's what being a PROPER family means.
    8
  4977. Does it ever cross the minds of people like you that some disabled people might really want to end their lives? What right have you to deny them this?
    8
  4978. I must say I'm surprised to hear that the majority in Pakistan are moderates. However, I'm still left feeling that this is very far from an overwhelming majority. Of course the trouble with moderates is that they are usually far too tolerant of immoderate behaviour, and this leads to its escalation.

  4982. Just how dense are Australians. You have excellent reserves of Uranium and a geologically very stable continent on which to safely build nuclear power stations. These give off no greenhouse gases. Take an example from the French and build a few fast breeder reactors, like Phoenix, then you can also use the U238 and burn the Plutonium instead of having to worry about disposing of it. In fact, there may now be even better reactor designs.

  5000. I'm no Sunak fan, but he is right about the fiddling, and I think it will eventually lead to grief. Remember when banks and building societies decided than only lending 3 to 3½ times salary needed to be relaxed. Does anyone need reminding where that ended, or that it's a major cause of property now being unaffordable for so many?

  5001. A petrol or diesel car runs most efficiently at between 35 - 55 mph. Therefore this insane speed limit is going to increase both the amount of fossil fuel burnt and the local air pollution.

  5003. And the Putin fan boy will believe anything.

    7
  5006. Spot on, except that what they are doing to this country is no laughing matter.
    7
  5007. Yes, they have shot themselves in the foot with this advert. If they had any sense they would immediately withdraw it, and sack whoever approved it.
    7
  5008. They also don't want to end up on trial for mass murder, when people die for lack of nurses and doctors that they have sacked. Not that they care in the least about any deaths, per se.

  5009. In a few years it will be "Jet Black and the 7 Lesbian Dwarfs", and all 8 will be seriously obese.

  5013. Why is it that politicians always expect massive thanks and gratitude for doing their job? Early in my career I was told that the way you knew that you were doing a good job was by the lack of complaints!
    7
  5014. If we run short of gas or oil in a few years time, because of idiotic policies and mismanagement of resources then the politicians responsible should be given long jail sentences!
    7
  5015. Of course Ukraine did it. In exactly the same way that 22,000 Polish officers overpowered their Russian guards, took their weapons, went into the forest, dug graves for themselves, and then shot themselves.
    7
  5016. Where is the sound of screaming Orcs we were all hoping to hear?
    7
  5017. Not in my name! Gaza was more or less autonomous, which is what allowed Hamas to thrive and perpetrate their atrocities. For Hamas and Hezbollah a Palestinian state would be live Gaza on steroids.

  5019. Thatcher was the last decent prime minister this country had. She wouldn't have given into the wets and ordered a useless, but insanely damaging lockdown. She would also have used our Navy to keep out small boats, and told the ECHR where to stick their objections.

  5020. Let's hope that in a few years time Victoria isn't seeing record numbers of cancer or autoimmune disorders.

  5021. The way universities have treated young people is one of the biggest and most cowardly swindles that have ever been perpetrated. I find it difficult to imagine how devastated I would have been if this had been done to me, and I got a maintenance grant, my travel refunded and didn't have to pay any fees. The sheer cowardliness and callousness of this is breathtaking. The risk of the virus to these young people is NEGLIGIBLE, and the risk to most university staff is likewise VERY SMALL. Universities should have carried on as normal. What kind of craven and totally selfish society sacrifices its young people, mainly to SLIGHTLY reduce the risk to those who are over 80: most of whom have themselves lived a long and damn good life?
    7
  5022. There are so many things wrong with teaching in UK schools that to do so you have to either be one of those very rare crusader types, truly desperate for a job, or have "other motivations".
    7
  5023.  @emmasmith1543  But this wasn't about doing what is right or sensible, it was about the government and it's ministry demonstrating that "resistance is futile".
    7
  5024. But I'll bet that most of them run a car (luxury), smart phone, and have spent money on things like booze and ciggies. I'd also place a hefty bet that most don't cook for themselves. Finally, how many could go out to work, but simply don't want to?

  5033. This is a very evil woman, who knew exactly what she was doing. Because of her unrelenting wickedness innocent people went to jail, and many more had their lives ruined. If there is any justice left in this country then she will go to jail, but I won't hold my breath.
    7
  5034. Nice one! More of the same please.
    7
  5035. A very interesting thought just occured to me. Considering the number of convictions that were overturned, is there any way those who simply paid the Fixed Penalty could now make a challenge to get the money back? After all, it seems certain that most of those fines were unlawful. Or, could the Supreme Court order that, in view of most of these fines being unsafe, that they are automatically all refunded?
    7
  5036.  @eastcoastsailingcenter7768  Raping the women, torturing the men, and then killing everyone, sounds like a damn good description of Orcs.

  5043. An essential condition on anything like this would have to be a binding commitment on the part of Turkey and Hungary to accept such membership being expedited with the utmost haste. We would also have to insure that Moldova and Georgia were protected.

  5044. Or is it that the amount of embezzlement and misspending is getting bigger?
    7
  5045. How many times does it have to be suggested that the minute these people land they are whisked off to be detained on a remote, bleak Scottish island, with no hope of ever setting foot on the British mainland again. Is that radical enough?
    7
  5046. Meanwhile, what are all those brave Afghani men doing to protect the education and future of their wives, daughters and sisters? I'm so glad that no more American or British soldiers are dying for those too cowardly to fight for what should be the most important people in their lives.

  5048. @irigouis88 Like the Nazi apologists in 1930s Germany you are ignoring the evidence you don't like. Have a good look at a lot of the YouTube videos for the last 18 months.
    7
  5049. @irigouis88 If you weren't so brain-washed you would understand that a lot of people don't need to comply with the rules. Those who have recovered from covid-19 almost certainly have excellent natural immunity. They can neither catch or spread this virus. Of course, lots of people are stupid enough to believe the government who tells them this isn't true.
    7
  5050. @irigouis88 You really aren't at all bright are you. YouTube is now about the only easily accessible source of any news that the government doesn't want you to hear. Did you hear about the London anti-lockdown demo that stretched over 11 miles? OK, what about the absolutely massive demos that have taken place in many European capitals? Or perhaps you heard about the very big and reputable studies in Israel and Cleveland, showing that natural immunity is better than vaccination. Maybe you think that as it wasn't on the BBC 6pm news it's not true.🤣
    7
  5051. Let's make it a done deal before the end of this summit.

  5054. The only sad thing about this is that may of those 5000 Orcs escaped.
    7
  5055. Why do you think Starmer is now shortened to TTK?
    7
  5056. Just wait until Randy Andy defaults on a payment, then send the bailiffs in. Many will be happy to do this particular job for free.
    7
  5057. Can't hell wondering whether this is ANOTHER escape from a Chinese lab.
    7
  5058. Apart from the salaries of MPs and judges, is there anything that UK governments don't try to do on the cheap?
    7
  5059. The useless bloody police should have released photos of the men immediately! Then they might have been caught.
    7
  5060. Incredibly greedy energy produces are making vastly more profit than they need to, at an UNACCEPTABLE cost to this country. There's a very simple solution to this. NATIONALISE, without compensation, all the energy producers in this country, or territorial waters, and then sell the energy at cost. Apart from a few rich bastards, I can't see many objecting to this.
    7
  5061. Probably a much bigger correlation with being really soft on knife crime. Just maybe, if the police could randomly stop anyone (myself included) and search them for a knife, and if the mere possession meant a long mandatory jail sentence, then we might well see a fall.
    7
  5062. If I remember my contract law correctly, "a contract must be executed in good faith". Fire and hire clearly breaches this, and courts should come down on rogue businesses like a ton of bricks.
    7
  5063.  @mollflanders9184  No, the ones vaccinating people who really don't need a vaccine. Like the doctors in the Nazi and Japanese death camps.
    7
  5064. So many great comments like this, but YouTube is going all out to remove most of them.
    7
  5065. As long as they are fighting among themselves the police shouldn't waste time and resources on it.
    7
  5066. Yet again we have a refusal to acknowledge that in many jobs it's not a question of not being able to find skilled workers. Rather it's not being able to find someone who will do the job for sweatshop wages. Make employers pay fairly and a lot of this "reliance" will disappear. This is also responsible for a goodly part of the teacher shortage. Schools steadfastly refuse to employ older, more experienced teachers.
    7
  5067. I wonder how most Belarusians feel about having Emperor Xi's rent boys in their country?
    7
  5068. We all know that there are certain ethnically diverse judges that will let them off if they appear before them.
    7
  5069. Using Moscow and the word "mastermind" in the same sentence goes beyond ridiculous.
    7
  5070. Due to cowardly parents, Omicron is also a full on disaster for a lot of Y13 kids. Usually at this time of year plenty of students seek the "in person" one-on-one tuition that they desperately need to up their A-level exam grades. But frightened parents are depriving them of this help that many so badly need.
    7
  5071. It's not just face covering. Most teachers in this country are too woke or cowardly to do so, but as a teacher I asked several Muslim students whether they would wear a hijab if they were given the choice. The answer was that they wore it because their parents forced them to! In the same way that some people are submissives and masochists, you will get some mentally disturbed women who want to wear oppressive garb, and would no doubt welcome a collar too. But the vast majority of Muslim girls and women would bless any government for outlawing repressive clothing.
    7
  5072. Like Chamberlain did a deal with Hitler?
    7
  5073. So much for the "Land of the Free", when your employer has control over what you do to your body.
    7
  5074. Things could be far worse. We could have a Labour government run by Starmer.
    7
  5075. I hope those nations who HAVEN'T sent in undercover ops to take out Putin before he gets back to Moscow realise just how much mischief he may cause. While he hasn't said it publicly, I guarantee that he has either offered to supply Iran with nuclear weapons or to help Iran vastly speed up their development. MOSSAD, are you listening?
    7
  5076. If Ukraine can cut off the supply lines to the Russian trenches then Father Winter will freeze these filthy Orcs to death. In fact I gather supplies from Belgorod and across the Kerch bridge are already very compromised, so hopefully it will be possible to cut them off completely. It also shouldn't be too hard to cut off all Crimea's power from Zaporizhzhia.
    7
  5077. Yes, this is very typical Russian behaviour.
    7
  5078. It's extremely easy for qualified nurses and doctors to emigrate to the US, Canada and Australia, where they are much better paid and enjoy far better working conditions: dentists too.. Even someone as thick as Sunak should be able to work out the consequences of this.
    7
  5079. ​ @DeltaEchoGolf  Yes, I gather there are lots of people in Chechnya, possibly even the majority, who want out of the Russian Federation.
    7
  5080. This will only stop when payback, with interest, is visited on Moscow.
    7
  5081. Anyone who like me has worked for the Home Office will not be in the least surprised by its incompetence. There are a few good people working in it, but they constitute a very small minority.
    7
  5082. Yes, they are actually useful now, because they make it easy to spot some of the nut jobs.
    7
  5083. Its like watching rats being flushed out of a sewer. The only distressing part is that too few were exterminated.
    7
  5084. For years I've been saying that illegals should be returned to the country that they were in prior to attempting an illegal entry. Following the chain back they would eventually end up where they belonged, and this would make it vastly easier for all countries to deal with them, and provide a strong incentive for en-route countries to crack down.
    7
  5085. ​ @kbrady8528  That is so sad. Even over 30 years ago my mother used to say Bray wasn't a shadow of what it used to be when she was a kid. I used to be able to see Bray Head from my living room window. I wonder if that view is now blocked.
    7
  5086. I've just made a similar point. My sister is a retired nurse and probably has enough material to write a book on how bad NHS management is!
    7
  5087. I imagine the fossil hunters are already rushing to this spot.
    7
  5088. Just wait until TTK also strips them of their freedom passes and 25% council tax discount.
    7
  5089. Most of us developed total contempt for parliament when they surrendered their democratic powers to No.10, allowing totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions to be imposed on all of us: destroying our economy and young people's education and mental health.
    7
  5090. Perhaps what's happening in Syria will help the West understand just how broad the implications could be of destroying Iran's military capability.
    7
  5091. I'm 65, and really glad I'm not growing up now. Am I the only one asking what the hell is going on with this country? I'm fairly sure that when I was in my late teens and early twenties we could go out for a night without worrying about having our drinks spiked or being stabbed on the way home. What has changed to make things like they are now?
    7
  5092. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
    7
  5093. Far less serious than a one of posting of a few hurty words on Twitter. Well that's what the judge clearly thought.
    7
  5094. Russia is regressing back to the days of the Soviet Union, and before long there will be empty shelves and queues for almost everything.
    7
  5095. Of course this could be a ploy to try and persuade Ukraine not to shoot down Russian planes. Since when has Russia had a reputation for truthfulness?
    7
  5096.  @robertdurham5331  People like YOU said very similar things when Adolf Hitler came to power, and we all know where that led!
    7
  5097. If a minority of Muslims behave anything like the way they do in the UK then this is hardly surprising. Maybe in the UK we are prepared to put up with bloodthirsty mobs threatening the lives of teachers, and intimidating cinema chains, but other countries are not prepared to accept such behaviour.
    7
  5098. There's a really good reason why US presidents only serve two terms. It's to help safeguard democracy!
    7
  5099. Our BENT judges in the European and UK supreme courts need to follow this fine example. Unfortunately all they care about is collecting their obscenely inflated salaries.
    7
  5100. Instead of simply releasing criminals from jail in the UK they should be given the opportunity to EARN their freedom by volunteering to help in Ukraine.
    7
  5101. Russia was planning to take the whole of Ukraine in a matter of days, so Russian plans don't really mean that much.
    7
  5102. The fast-track, and often unjust, jailings have only put a lid on the boiling cauldron of resentment, and the pressure under that lid is increasing!
    7
  5103. With a bent and vindictive government , that has stopped the world's No.1 from taking part, the Australia Open has lost all credibility. If I had paid for tickets to watch what is now a farce then I would want to hand them back for a full refund.
    7
  5104. Seeing a fighter jet shot down is definitely way up there among my favourites. A very expensive piece of kit has been destroyed and also an Orc that required a lot of training. Keep supplying Ukraine with the weapons, and training, to do this.
    7
  5105. Interest rates might be a blunt instrument, but is there any other way to stop people spending money that they haven't really got and shouldn't be spending?
    7
  5106. Yet another minister who NOW claims she was against these lockdowns, but unlike so many Tory backbenchers didn't have the decency and courage to oppose them at the time. I'm waiting for the first one to say "Whitty made me do it".
    7
  5107. I care if some of my hard earned taxes are being squandered to fund them!
    7
  5108. I wonder if Putin sent his rent boy a get well card?
    7
  5109. MI6 could already have done this EASILY if this or the previous government had had the guts to let them!
    7
  5110. Construire une nouvelle prison prend du temps. CEPANDANT, nous possédons plus de 7 700 îles au large. Nous pourrions résoudre cette crise rapidement et à moindre coût en installant des camps d'internement sur certaines d'entre elles.
    7
  5111. Exactly what behavioural "scientists" advise. Censor and remove all contrary opinion, even if it's the vast majority, to make people believe there is support for the Downing Street Despots.
    7
  5112. Let's remind ourselves of the facts: 1. This virus only kills 1 in 1000, and even then most are over 80. 2. Flu has an IFR of about 0.1%. Covid-19 has an IFR of about 0.3%. So it's only 3 times as bad as flu. In fact if you are under 60 flu represents a bigger risk to you. 3. Once you have recovered from covid-19, even if asymptomatic, you DO have long term immunity. Bearing all this in mind, is this lockdown, or indeed the previous lockdowns, justified? We are told there have been 75,000 covid-19 deaths, so let's do a little maths with the 0.3% IFR. 75000/0.003 = 25 million who have recovered, and are now immune to this virus, without needing any vaccine. That's nearly 40% of the population! Come on guys Blow Job and the rest of the Downing Street gang are playing you for complete fools.
    7
  5113. Imagine having your home, and everything you spent your live working for, destroyed on the whim of some rabid psychopath.
    7
  5114. My main concern about e-scooters is that they detract from people getting the exercise so many desperately need. So, in years to come they will lead to even more fat bastards clogging up our hospitals.
    7
  5115. Instead of Joseph and Mary we could have Joseph and Harry, Jesus' two gay dads, or lez be inclusive and have Megan and Mary.
    7
  5116. Has Putin sent you your daily banana allowance?
    7
  5117. I've lost count of the number of times Putin has reneged on his promises of humanitarian corridors out of Mariupol. Those who have watched Game of Thrones, will be thinking of the fate of those who believed Ramsay Bolton and surrendered to him!
    7
  5118. Sounds about right. If in the UK our police had been dealing with REAL crime, instead of acting as Hancock's Gestapo, Sarah Everard would definitely still be alive!
    7
  5119.  @johnhamilton6768  Awe, a do-gooder who probably thinks Putin is a good guy that's just misunderstood, and who gets really upset when people laugh at his incontinence.
    7
  5120. Fly an England flag from your Taxi, or take a walk down certain streets if you are "openly Jewish", and the police will be on you instantly!
    7
  5121. Not probably, definitely!
    7
  5122. Robert Jenrick couldn't take down a tent.
    7
  5123. What image, that of being an incompetent liar running a two-tier country?
    7
  5124. Perhaps, rather than whining about having a ceasefire the UN should be demanding that Hamas stop using children as human shields: which they seem to do a lot!
    7
  5125. Isn't it amazing how inventive the government is in finding ways to squander our hard earned taxes.
    7
  5126. Look at what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower, in London, with far less resources than Ukraine. If Russians expected similar incidents whenever they attacked Ukrainian cities then these attacks might well stop.
    7
  5127. The big surprise would be if it wasn't hidden among civilians.
    7
  5128. She had better not come to the UK then. Here we worry far more about their human rights and safety than those of their victims.
    7
  5129. Atrocity is Russia's hallmark. My father spent 2 years in a Russian labour camp when he was caught crossing from Nazi occupied Poland to Russian occupied Poland. During his time there he saw many fellow prisoners die. More than 10 years later he still used to wake up screaming from the nightmares. But I guess he was lucky compared to the 22,000 Polish officers that were butchered at Katyn. Russia hasn't changed!
    7
  5130. That's certainly true for me. I now have absolutely no trust or confidence in the WHO or the CDC.
    7
  5131. So many of us were about to post the same question.
    7
  5132. There are several factors to consider, including lack of discipline, leading to appalling behaviour, in so many schools, but here's something else that's very common. I've just reached retirement age, and for over 10 years I've been privately tutoring A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. I pride myself in being able to handle almost anything that students want to throw at me, without being given any advance notice. Yet, none of the schools wanted to employ me. You see, these days the vast majority of schools are unwilling to employ us older, very experienced, teachers. We cost around £10,000 to £15,000 more, and are not prepared to put up with bad behaviour, do unnecessary admin, or work ourselves to the bone when the school doesn't employ enough teachers or support staff.
    7
  5133. I've just made a comment saying how very unlikely the Russian's scenario is.
    7
  5134.  @sacuW9ep  You keep telling yourself that it in a few years time we get an inexplicable increase in cancers or autoimmune diseases. I'll be saying "told you so" and LMAO.
    7
  5135. Kind of makes it hard to decide whether they are Orcs or Trolls.
    7
  5136. On the plus side, prevailing winds tend to be westerly. So if there is an "accident" most of the radioactive release is likely to get blown over Russia.
    7
  5137. The biggest mistake was letting this parade take place without incident. This spared Putin massive embarrassment and humiliation.
    7
  5138. That's your message to the Russian Orcs.
    7
  5139. I can go one better. In the days of dumb terminals I suggested replacing them with intelligent Amstrad PCs that were one third of the price, and would ALSO have taken most of the processing load off the mini computers. This would have given both a much cheaper and a much faster system. The DP manager rejected this. However, being dishonest he tried to present something similar as his own idea about a year later. But he was far too thick to fill in any of the details of how it could be done.
    7
  5140. Hopefully there were some Orcs guarding this dump, who got a real close up view of the fireworks.
    7
  5141. Everyone needs to remember that, like Hitler's Blitz, these strikes, as intended, almost exclusively kill civilians.
    7
  5142. Well a sense of humour is certainly in evidence in the UK. We elected a clown to be our PM.
    7
  5143. So true, and they removed my earlier reply saying they also remove posts supporting Ukraine and Taiwan. Goebbels would have loved to own YouTube.
    7
  5144. Not taking on Hitler early might well have precipitated WW II. So the right thing for Germany is to pull out all the stops to frustrate Putin's megalomaniac designs.
    7
  5145. With over 200 hostages, are we going to see this exercise repeated at least 4 more times? If there was going to be a deal at all then it should have been an all or nothing deal.
    7
  5146. Shouldn't have even let the ships dock!
    7
  5147. "Si vis pacem, para bellum" - Publius Vegetius Renatus 4th or 5th century AD. Putin took Crimea, and is now trying to take the rest of Ukraine because he perceives the West to be weak, and unwilling to fight. If he gets Ukraine his beliefs will be confirmed, and he will move on to the next state on his list: which has quite a few entries.
    7
  5148. ​ @margaretfrancis3912  I also voted Reform UK. I knew Starmer couldn't be trusted.
    7
  5149. Perhaps more people will now do the simple sums and realise that for most people owning a car is an act of gross stupidity. Even without hiked fuel prices, when you consider road tax, the annual MOT and insurance, it often makes a lot more sense to use public transport and just get the occasional cab when you are really in a hurry.
    7
  5150. In other words "pervies need not apply". Well done those schools!
    7
  5151. Those who carried pagers aren't men anymore.
    7
  5152. Most of us know that Morrison is as thick as two short planks, but really? Calling in China to denounce Russia is about as realistic as asking the Saudi Government to sell pork chops to Hajj pilgrims.
    7
  5153. Spare a thought for the millions of really poor OAPs who Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". They will now get a pension rise well below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to, many would have really struggled. Do people not realise that, despite being one of the world's richest countries, the British state pension is one of the very meanest.
    7
  5154. With every day that goes by its looking more and more like we have an EXTREMELY MILD variant that is highly infectious, and will replace other more dangerous variants. The implications of this, for despotic governments are horrifying. There is a good chance that this variant could quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions of people. Just imagine the consequences. The lies about natural immunity will become evident to everybody, people won't need vaccination, and they will lose their fear of covid-19. For tyrants desperate to hold on to power this is their worst nightmare before Christmas. No wonder Downing Street wants to stop this variant spreading.
    7
  5155. No, Putin fanboy, an attack on a vessel supply fuel to the Orcs' war machine.
    7
  5156. In 1938 Chamberlain thought he had a great meeting with Hitler in Munich!
    7
  5157. Plenty more to do before Trump's inauguration!
    7
  5158. More like Poland in 1939, and they will probably go on to do the same with Greenland!
    7
  5159. My God, I've seen a lot of really sick things but this might well be the sickest and most disgusting.
    7
  5160. Lots more to come. It makes sense to cut off the Orcs' fuel supply prior to the Ukrainian offensive.
    7
  5161. There is absolutely no excuse for what we have seen at Dover. Almost every vehicle turning up there would have made an advance booking, so saying the numbers were unexpected is a lie. Either bookings should not have been taken, or provision should have been made to handle the number of people. Those responsible need to be punished, and it's the individuals responsible, rather than just the companies, that need punishing.
    7
  5162. "reportedly show" I've yet to see a convincing Russian video.
    7
  5163. So true. Those parents should have been packing the streets solid with their protests. Even the much maligned "Insulate Briton" and "Just Stop Oil" protesters have a far greater passion for their causes than most parents have for their children's welfare.
    7
  5164. Good to hear that those munitions are being used. Cluster munitions are to Orcs as warfarin is to verminous rats. But I have more sympathy for the rats.
    7
  5165.  @BigAlCapwn  Just to clarify. By supporting this kind of vaccine passport you are allowing the government to track your movements 24/7. That sounds really bright.😉
    7
  5166. Use captured Orcs to clear them!
    7
  5167. This proves two things beyond all reasonable doubt: 1. Most Palestinians must have known or even helped in the construction of these tunnels. So they are not innocent civilians. 2. The cost of constructing these tunnels shows that vast amounts of money that should have been used to make Palestinian lives better was embezzled by Hamas.
    7
  5168. As far as the far-left is concerned, anyone who isn't one of them is far-right.
    7
  5169. We need to remember two things: 1. Russia's missile strikes have little if any military significance, as they almost entirely murder defenseless civilians: women, children, and the old. 2. The small gains in Bakhmut are bought at incredibly high cost in Orc lives.
    7
  5170. Our courts have always been incredibly soft on violent criminals, unless you egg an MP or gently jostle the likes of Witless Whitty. Many years ago a friend of mine had her nose gratuitously broken by a lout while she was skating at Queens ice rink. The yob only received a very derisory fine.
    7
  5171. The Doc is right, the variant is already everywhere, so travel restrictions are like turning the fire hose on the ashes of a house that's already burnt down. And you know why we didn't notice this variant spreading? That's because, according to the South African doctors with the most experience treating it, its symptoms are EXTREMELY mild. Instead of a scary name it should be renamed the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    7
  5172. Isn't it amazing that they just happened to be filming on board the Ivan Khurs at the time of the "attack"?
    7
  5173. The more cases the better! This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant, with the very real potential to quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity. Let's pray that the measures to slow its spread in France and elsewhere fail miserably.
    7
  5174. Nice try at deception, but most people in Sweden live in cities like us, not in the empty artic. I KNOW it's empty, because I spent days hiking across some of it.
    7
  5175. All supporters of Ukraine need to do as much as possible before Trump becomes president. Because if he is intent on negotiating with Putin then Putin needs to be weakened as much as possible beforehand.
    7
  5176. It disappeared when the government realised that excellent, long lasting, NATURAL immunity means that their insanely damaging lockdowns were totally the wrong approach.
    7
  5177. We also need there to be serious PUNISHMENT!
    7
  5178. Like last winter the Russians want to be able to deploy as much defences as they can. Ukraine needs to keep fighting throughout the winter in order to prevent them repeating what they did last winter, because it very seriously hindered the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
    7
  5179. I said more or less what Crawford is saying about a week ago. Calling it "appeasement" is like a child refusing to accept reality.
    7
  5180. When all that's left is pain and suffering a person should have the right to ask to have it ended in dignity, with peace and without any further pain. I get really angry at the religious nut jobs who want to impose their superstitions on others and prolong their pain and despair.
    7
  5181. Unless you call the pitiful whining of people like Whitty evidence.
    7
  5182. Absolutely right. It's been going on for decades, and only those who are blind can possibly fail to see it happening.
    7
  5183. Can I have a large side helping of roast Orc with that?
    7
  5184. ​ @woowah32  But you will get arrested, and charged for this, but NOT for letting lose a blood curdling cry of "Jihad".
    7
  5185. Well, having millions, who are perfectly fit to work, playing the mental health card and claiming benefits certainly isn't helping the UK economy.
    7
  5186. Sadly Breedlove's comments about surge capacity are probably true. For safety nature often builds in a fair amount of redundancy: two lungs and two kidneys for example. But almost all organisations these days, in order to cheapskate, don't have any spare capacity whatsoever. However, is Russia any better in this respect? Also, there are a great many troops who, having seen the horrors inflicted on Ukraine, are really itching to slaughter a few of Putin's Orcs.
    7
  5187. One bet no bookie will take is on the Tories losing.
    7
  5188. There's probably a beer, mega sized bag of crisps, and cream cake waiting for him at the end of his run.
    7
  5189. This ambassador should be mindful that although, unlike in Russia, we value free speech in this country, defending the indefensible is so extremely objectionable to many people that his safety outside of his embassy can no longer be guaranteed.
    7
  5190. I've just made a similar comment. Burglaries and shoplifting, which the police can't be arsed to attend, are a much higher priority for most of us.
    7
  5191. Has Labour made anything better since coming to power?
    7
  5192. Does anyone honestly expect Putin to honour such an agreement and not try and derive some military advantage out of it?
    7
  5193. You can bet the family jewels that this coward stayed well back from the front line.
    7
  5194. No animals or people (or military targets) were hurt in the production of this video, brought to you by Russian MoD Film Studies.
    7
  5195. They have got their pre-summer suntan from the radioactive contamination.🤣
    7
  5196.  @tapen678s6  Aw, I've upset one of Putin's little fanboys.
    7
  5197. Wait until you see all the excess deaths, especially in young people, due to autoimmune diseases.
    7
  5198. But these days, rather than feeling deep shame, most people are willing to play the mental health card.
    7
  5199. Almost certainly the case. I doubt Kim Jung Un is supplying troops because of the wonderful things Putin can do with his mouth.
    7
  5200. Well one of them. Not believing that covid-19 kills well under 1%, that those who recover have excellent natural immunity, and believing that only vaccines and lockdowns will save you seems to be the snowflake's new religion du jour. Don't believe me? Try getting a snowflake to acknowledge, or even read, the research that says there's nothing to be afraid of. You would have more success selling pork chops in a mosque.
    7
  5201.  @IBTU  Of course, young white girls don't have "human rights".
    7
  5202. If you have had a heart attack or stroke even a few minutes unnecessary delay is going to have far more serious consequences than covid-19.
    7
  5203. Correct. Without the reigning champion it will be a farce, and any victory will be hollow.
    7
  5204. How about first reporting impartially, and telling the truth?
    7
  5205. Probably between a third and one half of those 14.2 million already have natural immunity. Also the risk posed by covid-19 to this age group is probably less than that posed by the vaccines. Yes they may pass on the virus to each other, but this doesn't matter, and they aren't likely to mix enough with the relatively few oldies who haven't had both doses of Vaccine. It really is game over in the UK, except for the loud whining of quivering snowflakes.
    7
  5206. You got that right, with YouTube deleting and hiding most comments.
    7
  5207. No, it's the natural thing for the PM and his ministers to do. It's telling the truth that they find almost impossibly hard.
    7
  5208. They should be escorted into the next world, if there is one.
    7
  5209.  @patrickrooney5130  What blame? I'm saying well said!
    7
  5210. After the experience with Russian oil and gas one would have thought that everyone had learnt their lesson well. But then it takes some modicum of intelligence to learn!
    7
  5211. Calling Emperor Xi a dictator is no different than calling the Pope a Catholic.
    7
  5212. What about retired, Blade Runner style?
    7
  5213. I often disagree with Macron, but I have to congratulate him on the way he put this.
    7
  5214. Sorry, but when I think of Harry the word "strong", in any sense, doesn't come to mind. But if Whinging becomes an Olympic sport I'm sure he will bring home a gold medal for England.
    7
  5215. Those of us with a Polish parent know exactly what Russia is like. My father was sent to a Russian Labour camp merely for crossing from Nazi occupied Poland to Russian occupied Poland. While there he saw many of his fellow inmates die from "poor treatment". And the world must never forget the butchery of 22,000 defenseless polish POWs at Katyn: which definitely wasn't a one of.
    7
  5216. Prigozhin has upset an awful lot of uber Orcs. He is probably now safest near the front line, and may not last that long anywhere his enemies feel safe enough to get to him.
    7
  5217. Why isn't anyone asking about the benefits being paid to 25% of the working age population who aren't working or even looking for work? Even one third of this percentage being unfit to work would be pushing the bounds of credibility. There are truly massive savings, that no decent honest person could object to, to be made in this area!
    7
  5218. You'll have to say more than that to earn your bunch of bananas.
    7
  5219. Can't understand why anyone other than a cougar would want to teach in an all-boys boarding school.
    7
  5220. Perhaps if there had been lots of this from the beginning there would have been fewer attacks on Ukrainian cities, because the Orcs would have known that they would get the same back.
    7
  5221. He means that, like every cabinet minister, she has great experience in lying, cheating, and dissembling!
    7
  5222. No, but my comment saying that MI6 could track down and "deal" with people smugglers was quickly removed.
    7
  5223. It seems to me that Boris, Truss and Sunak were all desperate for a job that they were very far from up to. But isn't that the British way, promoting people into positions that they will be incompetent in?
    7
  5224. Hail to the future chief. Donald Spanky Boy Trump.
    7
  5225. Beyond bad, in every way.
    7
  5226.  @michaeltrosenfeld  And lots of rent boys like you.
    7
  5227. It's a pity we couldn't mark each soldiers bullets in some way, so that they could be rewarded for every rabid Taliban animal that they put down.
    7
  5228. I might not see eye-to-eye on a lot of Nancy's policies, but she was absolutely right to show Mad Dog Xi that he can't dictate who can visit a totally independent and sovereign nation of 23.5 million people.
    7
  5229. Those who think Putin will compromise should remember the fable of "The Scorpion and the Frog"!
    7
  5230. Did you have the sense to vote Reform UK last time?
    7
  5231. If push comes to shove most people in NATO countries would much rather have Finland and Sweden as members than Turkey. This is particularly so after the jailing of a man for insulting Erdogan. Leaders having to take insults on the chin is very much a defining feature of any genuine democracy.
    7
  5232. Myself and a great many other people would say that the last decent prime minister that this country had was Margaret Thatcher. But then, unlike most politicians, she had a good solid degree in science: she was also a research chemist before entering politics.
    7
  5233. Because the first list you gave are usually respectable and honourable people, that contribute to our society. Whereas this often isn't the case in your second list of one.
    7
  5234. Very pleased to see some cluster munitions being used effectively.
    7
  5235. Moscow no longer has the strength to go in.
    7
  5236. Another "like a thief in the night" visit.
    7
  5237. Let me see. First we had the scary Kent variant. Then we had the really bad-ass Delta variant. Now we have the sparkly new Omicron variant which is the mother of all bad-asses. I'm thinking that when they were little kids their mummies never read these WHO scaremongers the story about the boy who cried wolf.
    7
  5238. To be honest, most of us would like to see the violent criminals in our jails sent to the meat grinder.
    7
  5239. If they had said they were Muslims they would have been warmly welcomed.
    7
  5240. As in the United States this is the result of courts turning a blind eye to infringement of immigration law. The law is that you can employ a foreign national if you cannot find a Brit to do the job. What the law most assuredly is not is that you can set sweat-shop wages and conditions so that no Brit will take the job.
    7
  5241. If this can be done now then it should have been done many years ago, because bed-blockers have been delaying countless operations for a very long time.
    7
  5242. Because they would kick Boris out.
    7
  5243. If the same could NOW be done to Putin's beloved Kerch bridge it might just make Russians finally lose patience with him.
    7
  5244. Now this is what I call deradicalisation!
    7
  5245. There are other schools these Muslims can send their kids to if they don't like the rules in this one.
    7
  5246. Why can't this professor be honest? We might not be absolutely certain, but it's looking HIGHLY LIKELY that this variant is EXTREMELY MILD. Ah, but saying this would lessen people's fears and upset his government paymasters. In fact, many doctors are saying that this variant could be really good news. Greater transmissibility, coupled with extreme mildness, means that it could very quickly SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people. It could generate the herd immunity that these rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines have spectacularly failed to do. How embarrassing would that be for Downing Street. No wonder they are so desperate to stamp out this variant.
    7
  5247. I'm sure all this ammo will eventually be returned to the Russian Orcs.🤣
    7
  5248. A few months ago I was walking in Hadley Wood, a woman had several dogs off the leash, that she clearly couldn't control, and a couple came running up to me. If I'd lost my cool and run I think things would have gone very badly!
    7
  5249. One the kids are of school age they most certainly are. My mother juggled THREE part-time jobs to fit in with looking after us when we were at school.
    7
  5250. 25% of the working age population is neither working nor even looking for work: this is very well documented. Am I the only one wondering whether there are billions of pounds in wrongly paid benefits just begging to be saved?
    7
  5251. This warrants a very lengthy jail sentence (and deportation if available), but I'm not holding my breath. Also, aren't commanders allowed to use lethal force to defend military bases?
    7
  5252. Just a thought. The so-called (failed) war on drugs costs an absolute fortune, but it's the very fact that they are illegal that pushes their price high enough to make it economically viable to produce and distribute most of them. Might it possibly be cheaper to simply legalise them and divert the policing money to education and hospitals? Would it even be worth cultivating coca, poppies and cannabis if the price of the final product dropped by a factor of 100?
    7
  5253. The flight time is 10 minutes so that Putin doesn't have to take of his shoes and socks to understand how long that is.
    7
  5254. I get the feeling that Putin won't be receiving any more drones from Iran.
    7
  5255. Putin hoped to overwhelm Ukraine by shear force of numbers, but through incredible courage and determination the Ukrainians have put a serious dent in both his number of troops and his armaments. Putin is still pursuing the same strategy by using North Korean troops and munitions. To redress the balance NATO really does need to put boots on the ground.
    7
  5256. Getting an inflated grade that you haven't worked for, and don't deserve, is nothing to be proud of.
    7
  5257. Keep on dreaming, Putin fanboy.
    7
  5258.  @FloppaFan400  Actually it's easy to buy things like crossbows, which are pretty effective.
    7
  5259. Don't worry, Putin fangirl, lots of us Brits are very happy to make sacrifices if it helps eradicate the Orcs in Ukraine.
    7
  5260. Let's not forget the reason his fellow Tories made Boris PM. They wanted a none too bright buffoon, who they felt it would be easy to manipulate and intimidate. And they weren't too far off the mark.
    7
  5261. Those three certainly don't look like WASPs.
    7
  5262. Bien joué, Mossad!
    7
  5263. If this family were here legally then I'm very sorry for them, but if they weren't then GOOD! The fact is that this anger is a direct consequence of this and the previous government being totally UMWILLING to protect our borders, and of two-tier courts and policing. People have had enough, and it's only going to get a lot worse. Remember Enoch Powell's prophecy.
    7
  5264. Can't help wondering if this had anything to do with the 30,000 businesses that told him where to shove his lockdown, and reopen, to cheers from most of the public. No wonder that very large protest didn't make the BBC's 6pm or 10pm news😉.
    7
  5265. Why isn't anybody saying that this creep has committed the CRIMINAL offence of fraud. If you make a false statement for monetary gain, which Adderley certainly did, this is definitely fraud: no ifs, no buts, no maybes.
    7
  5266. But, as in the UK, the rich can buy their kids a good education, thus maintaining the status quo.
    7
  5267. Because it would spoil the anti-Semitic propaganda.
    7
  5268. The Chinese economy grew massively because of trade with Western democracies. It will shrink just as massively if all this trade is blocked!
    7
  5269. That's not what my sister found when she was nursing. And nothing was done about any complaints for fear of being called a racist.
    7
  5270. No, if you want acting you have to watch Russian MoD Film Studio productions.
    7
  5271. There are a LOT of his mates who need to join him in jail!
    7
  5272. Pity there don't appear to be any orcs nearby to roast on that fire.
    7
  5273. Wouldn't it be really funny if Russia was short of oil and gas this winter.
    7
  5274. Notice the dignified way in which people wait their turn in the queue for food, compared to how the savages behave in some parts of the world.
    7
  5275. If it's a competition then Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are way out in front, and have been for quite a while.
    7
  5276. As well as a very important supply line, the Kerch bridge is enormously significant for Putin. While it's far from certain, there is a very real chance that destroying this bridge could destroy Putin's hold on power.
    7
  5277. This fear is truly pathetic. Look at how young a lot of those queuing up are. Covid-19 represents negligible risk to young people. Britain really has become a nation of quivering snowflakes. No wonder people surrendered their freedoms without a fight.
    7
  5278. Saying "don't trust Putin" is about as necessary as saying don't douse yourself in petrol and then play with matches.
    7
  5279. There's a massive difference between being phobic towards people with other beliefs and proclivities and being opposed to them forcibly shoving them upon those who don't share them!
    7
  5280. If Sunak wasn't incredibly stupid and cowardly he would have backed Suella all the way. Labour will be dancing for joy at this sacking. Suella articulated exactly what MOST people are thinking.
    7
  5281. Having worked for the Home Office I can tell you that most of their staff are of the lowest calibre. When recruiting the Home Office doesn't just scrape the bottom of the barrel, it turns it upside down and scrapes the dirt off what's underneath. There are a few talented, hardworking civil servants, but they are very, very rare.
    7
  5282. You are so right, and we can expect all governments to do everything in their power to sweep all information of adverse effects under the table.
    7
  5283. No negotiation needed to end this war. All Putin has to do is get his pallid, and incontinent, arse out of Ukraine: including Crimea.
    7
  5284. FFS there is a lot much more important stuff currently going on in the world. Can we stop having the news saturated with just this one story.
    7
  5285. You know, when there are vastly more demonstrators than police I often wonder why they don't simply use force of numbers to overpower them. I'm reminded of that scene in Game of Thrones were the crowd literally rips the limbs off a bad guy.
    7
  5286. "can be" But a TACO deal is never done until it's delivered.
    7
  5287. Like myself, most teachers will tell you that while there are kids who genuinely have "special education needs", in the majority of cases it's simply a case of undisciplined students whose very bad parenting has brought them up believing that they can always do exactly as the please.
    7
  5288. Spare a thought for the millions of really poor OAPs who Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". They are now set to get a rise well below inflation. Even without having had their rightful rise STOLEN from them many would have been crucified by rising food and heating bills. Do people in the UK really not realise that the UK state pension is one of the meanest in the world?
    7
  5289. At last he has found a job worthy of his level of intelligence.
    7
  5290. Psycho Putin promised a spectacular victory celebration for 9th May, so it's extremely important that everything possible is done to see that his parade is heavily rained on. This would be a severe and very public humiliation for him, and increase the chance of his "removal" from power.
    7
  5291. No! Covid-19 posses no risk to over 99% of people. They don't need restrictions or vaccines.
    7
  5292. Like most Royals, who get a free pass to the university of their choice, Willy isn't particularly bright, and should leave things like this to those much more intelligent than himself.
    7
  5293. Why retreat when suicidal Orcs are throwing themselves at you, almost begging to be mown down.
    7
  5294. So first Putin's cook ends up running Wagner, and now his bodyguard ends up running the Kursk defence. I think Putin's barber is in for a massive promotion some time soon.
    7
  5295. It's like a picture of someone in the Vichy government shaking hands with Hitler.
    7
  5296. But the good news is that this storm has buggered the hell out of Crimea and forced the Russian fleet back to port. So Ukraine needs to take full advantage of this small window of opportunity to permanently put the Kerch bridge out of commission.
    7
  5297. Two words. You forgot THICK.
    7
  5298. Well, Ukraine needs to make sure that supply lines from Belgorod and across the Kerch bridge are cut off, so that the Orcs freeze to death in their trenches.
    7
  5299. What I find really corrupt and disgusting is how Durham Police deliberately waited until after the local elections to announce their investigation.
    7
  5300. It's way past time that Madelaine's parents accepted that they were really bad parents. My parents would never have left their children alone like this!
    7
  5301. We desperately need a zero tolerance policy towards those who can work and won't work. Such people are a cancer in our society that needs to be ruthlessly cut out!
    7
  5302. As it stands currently I have to book an appointment via some receptionist who is completely scientifically illiterate. I know vastly more about medicine than her, so how dare she presume to decide whether it's necessary for me to see my doctor in person.
    7
  5303. Nice to see good use being made of those Storm Shadow missiles, but we still need to see the Kerch bridge taken down with them, and what's left of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol wiped out.
    7
  5304. Also very stupid!
    7
  5305. What a sick joke these elections are. The only people that are allowed to stand for election are rabid fundamentalist animals. It's like being allowed to only vote for Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin. Though, frankly, anyone of these three would be a better choice.
    7
  5306. We need to abandon the "won't target Russia" dialog which makes Putin think the West is frightened. Any base from which attacks on Ukraine are launched, or depot that supplies fuel to facilitate such attacks, is both a legitimate and highly desirable target.
    7
  5307. Let's hope that Trump's campaign is put an end to ASAP. One of the things that keeps Putin hanging on is the hope that Trump will be US president again. When Putin wants something like this you know it can't be good for America or the rest of the world!
    7
  5308. There have already been about 18 reputable studies finding that natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. The CDC has deliberately ignored all these studies, in favour of two small highly criticised studies that supported their agenda of vaccination being better. The CDC is now a highly discredited organisation that no thinking person has the slightest trust in.
    7
  5309. And often when people do share their personal opinion YouTube removes it, thus SERIOUSLY DISTORTING what the true opinion in the UK is!
    7
  5310. It's very difficult to like someone who was just a desk jockey in the Marine Corps, but insults brave men who have put their lives on the line or even died.
    7
  5311. I have taught in mixed, all-boys, and all-girls schools, so I am very well qualified to tell you exactly why girls do better. In general they are much nicer to their teachers, they pay attention to them, and they work harder. It really is that simple, but indulgent mothers don't want to believe this.
    7
  5312. One thing is certain. Hunt (with a C) isn't going to feel the pain.
    7
  5313. Yes, if Adolf were alive today he would be so proud that he would think twice about renouncing his Austrian citizenship. But how are they going to check which people are the "dirty unvaccinated"? I know. Tattoo a yellow star on them that the police can check.
    7
  5314. Kim Jong Un warning the US. Well, he must have some sense of humour.
    7
  5315. It's always good news when a rabid dog is put down.
    7
  5316. The purpose of government is to serve the people and carry out the will of the majority. No one can honestly argue that the majority is not worried about immigration. So how could a referendum on how to tackle it possibly be a waste of time?
    7
  5317. Never mind "the lion and the lamb shall lie down together". What about the hippopotamus and the dog?
    7
  5318. ​ @MaverickSeventySeven  And have a car, which both my parents, who worked bloody hard, never had.
    7
  5319. Whether it's a losing battle or not is debatable. But it is certainly a just and righteous one.
    7
  5320. Hopefully Ukraine can keep up the momentum. I've got a bottle of champagne to go in the fridge when the Kerch Bridge is destroyed and the liberation of Crimea begins.
    7
  5321. Come on Ukraine. Find a refinery on Russian soil and return the compliment!
    7
  5322. The last thing some of those filthy Orcs are going to see before they die is a pretty face: far more than they deserve.
    7
  5323. Maybe the plan constantly changes due to cluelessness and incompetence.
    7
  5324. Long standing Kremlin troll? I think so.
    7
  5325. Why is it that people with so much wealth and fame can't be grateful for the blessings that have been heaped upon them and live a decent life?
    7
  5326. Buy frozen is a very good tip as the quality of things like broccoli florets is often far better than buying fresh. My tip would be to use places like Iceland, Lidl and Aldi.
    7
  5327. Is that a Putin fanboy I hear crying?
    7
  5328. I've just said much the same.
    7
  5329. That memo has probably signed in Trump as the next US president.
    7
  5330. They are running a gravy train for themselves!
    7
  5331. If this is true then Ukraine needs to take full advantage of that vulnerability NOW, and not give Russia time to remedy it!
    7
  5332. @Tom You really don't understand (or want to). This variant doesn't appear to be killing or hospitalising people AT ALL. So if it spreads quickly and replaces other variants it may well reduce deaths and hospitalisations.
    7
  5333. I'm not into conspiracies, but one really has to ask oneself whether most governments would welcome covid-19 disappearing, or being seen as vastly less threatening than they originally made it out to be. This is why they are still going headless chicken over the infection rate, despite the very low death and hospitalization rates. They may well be very concerned that widespread use of vitamin D might tip the balance. Then they might not get the chance to wait for a vaccine and then claim that the Armageddon they have visited on businesses, jobs and futures was justified: which it clearly isn't. I really do think that in Downing Street and other centres of government the main concern now is about saving face by keeping up the FACADE about how deadly this virus is. Just look at the Australian government which are acting like Nazis, and will impose forced vaccination if they can get away with it.
    7
  5334. How long is it going to take to accomplish this? And are they going to be sensible designs like the Phoenix fast breeder or new thorium based reactors, that use a much more plentiful resource and produce less waste?
    7
  5335. We need someone like Desmond Swaine.
    7
  5336. La majeure partie du monde, et la plupart des Iraniens, accueilleraient favorablement une telle action.
    7
  5337. Do you honestly expect them to tell people that what they were coerced into having might yet kill them or their children?
    7
  5338. When I was at school we had one headmaster, one deputy, and one secretary/receptionist. We also didn't have "pastoral" staff. Many schools could save an awful lot of money by getting rid of the army of managerial and admin staff that they really don't need. Another massive waste of money is getting supply teachers through agencies. In New Zealand the schools hire these directly. If schools stopped wasting money they would be surprised what they could afford!
    7
  5339. Damn straight. Far too many people expect the world to revolve around their needs, instead of those of the vast majority.
    7
  5340. I sincerely hope so.
    7
  5341. Hopefully there will be many more videos like this for us to enjoy, and from other parts of Russia too.
    7
  5342. If Shapps wasn't a cowardly, slippery Worm Tongue he would be saying that any further strikes by the Houthis would be responded to with the utmost severity.
    7
  5343. Things get crazier by the day. I guess bachelor must now also be a derogatory term, and saying spinster a hanging offence.
    7
  5344. Those who have not been vaccinated are either young, and covid-19 poses negligible risk to them, or they have refused the vaccine. So it really doesn't matter if infections sore. Most will shrug them off easier than a bad cold, and almost all of the relatively few that die only have their own stupidity to blame: they can collect their well deserved Darwin Award.
    7
  5345. At least they can console themselves by thinking of all those very poorly equipped and trained conscripts who will be getting serious frostbite, which they fully deserve for not fleeing or surrendering.
    7
  5346. That's good news. Hopefully it means we won't see billions of taxpayers hard earned money squandered on raising benefits for those who have never done a hard days work in their life, and contribute NOTHING to society.
    7
  5347. One solution would be to let the rest of the UK have a referendum on whether they want to kick NI out of the Union. I suspect it would be an overwhelming YES! However, the Loyalists needn't panic about being swallowed up by the Republic, as most people in the Republic wouldn't touch NI with a 10' barge pole.
    7
  5348. It's the Russian way. When you can't hit a military target or a soldier then take out your frustration on the civilians.
    7
  5349. Ah, a woke lefty who doesn't like the truth.
    7
  5350. It will stop as soon as the out of hand tyranny stops!
    7
  5351. It's like Hitler, Mussolini and Franco in WW II. One can just picture Vlad, Xi and Kim having a cross hand bougie together.
    7
  5352. Please note that Tsar Vladimir Putin would henceforth like you to call this region the Russian Republic of Donetsk. Nah. Like Crimea it's all part of Ukraine.
    7
  5353. I'm not a Tommy Robinson fan, and I don't object to him getting a jail sentence. BUT, what I do have a strong grievance about is that there are others who are far more worthy of one. I don't think that the animal who broke a policewoman's nose has even been charged, let alone jailed!
    7
  5354. Is nowhere safe in this country anymore? Camborne seems like the kind of nice quite place you might move to to enjoy a hard-earned, and peaceful, retirement. But then the government moves in drunkards and druggies.
    7
  5355. But mainstream media and snowflakes lie through their teeth. If these same people were alive 200 years ago they would be telling you that Africans were really grateful for having been taken from Africa and made to work on plantations.
    7
  5356. Are there not portable methane detectors that can detect gas build up, so that mining can be stopped until the concentration has decreased sufficiently? Or is it simply that miners' lives aren't valued enough?
    7
  5357. Look forward to about 5 years of "dubious" policies, because there is no democratic mechanism for removing rogue governments!
    7
  5358. As someone on record as saying "there is no such thing as good online learning" I would have liked to have heard Katherine views on the way kids have had their education and mental health buggered to hell over the last 18 months. If I was still in the classroom I would have insisted on continuing to teach there and point blank refused to con kids with online "learning".
    7
  5359. Give the rest of the UK a referendum on whether we want to keep Northern Ireland as part of it.
    7
  5360. But hundreds of dead Orcs in one go is definitely something to celebrate.
    7
  5361. And had even a modicum of respect for those who died defending this country.
    7
  5362. It's certainly not an instant or total solution, but a very good start would be compulsory CCF in every secondary school in the country: and maybe also National Service. We are inundated with feckless and unfit young people. Both they and the country would benefit massively from these measures.
    7
  5363.  @raclark2730  You are probably right. In so many former democratic countries the media seems to be falsely portraying massive support for government policies, when the truth is very much the contrary.
    7
  5364. France is very much part of the ECHR. So why are tents good enough in France but not in the UK?
    7
  5365. I hope there were Orcs manning this equipment. You can never roast too many of them.
    7
  5366. Dream on Putin fanboy.
    7
  5367. The only thing Hamas (and Hezbollah) ever think of is how many they can torture and murder.
    7
  5368. If it doesn't then we need to stop calling such people sheep, because it's insulting to sheep.
    7
  5369. These days anyone who isn't woke and far-left is labeled far-right: especially if they have the temerity to express views that most people hold.
    7
  5370. What those of us who aren't totally bereft of intelligence want to know is why employers allow one workday to be sandwiched between strike days. It doesn't take a genius to realise that this allows strikers to get paid for an extra day of disruption.
    7
  5371. The fatherland showing its appreciation for his unflinching oppression of the rights of ordinary people.
    7
  5372. Just one? There's a cabal of them running the country.
    7
  5373. I'll be bloody amazed if any of these flights even reaches a quarter capacity. This is a shameful waste of taxpayer money that could be far better spent.
    7
  5374. If it were up to Muslims like this one you wouldn't be educated enough to read and write, would be made to stay at home most of the time, and covered from head to toe when you were allowed out. Grow up!
    7
  5375. While every decent person wants to see Ukraine get the very best weapons with which to kick Putin's incontinent arse, changing which fighter jet you fly is not like changing your car model. For a fighter pilot, what he does needs to be second nature, and this takes lots of training and time. Also, each fighter jet requires ground staff that can take it apart and put it back together in their sleep. I hope Ukraine will have the necessary skills to make good use of any F-16 jets it gets.
    7
  5376. This is why the policy should be that each country sends these people back to where they have just come from. Ultimately they will arrive back where they started from, and it will encourage intermediate countries to police their borders responsibly.
    7
  5377. So true. Far less bother than a bad, or even average, cold for most people.
    7
  5378. Is there any list left to hand over? If there is it is probably a very short one!
    7
  5379. A court ruling in favour of sanity. It's a great pity the woman who brought this case wasn't aborted.
    7
  5380. If the other half think that Reeves is doing a good job then that's very worrying.
    7
  5381. As a private tutor of A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics I do get some really good hard-working students. But even among those who choose to do worthwhile subjects too many are totally unwilling to put in the hard graft needed. And, worse still, there are far too many students who want to do totally worthless subjects like sociology and government and politics.
    7
  5382. If you pay attention to what Farage said it was that NATO and the EU provided a pretext that Putin could use to justify his aggression to the Russian people. It's very likely he would have just made up another excuse if this one wasn't available. His ranting about "historic Russia" wasn't provoked by NATO and the EU.
    7
  5383. Has it ever been any different in Russia?
    7
  5384. "This should be a no brainer" The trouble is that TTK and all of his cabinet don't have any brains!
    7
  5385. Few of us will ever curse the amount of rain we get in Britain again. However we do need to plant millions and millions of trees in useless moorland, like the so-called "forest" of Bowland, to help manage the rain we get.
    7
  5386.  @suomynona4607  Perhaps even Fat Little Rocket Man.
    7
  5387. China does an incredible amount of business with the West. An attack on Taiwan would provoke massive sanctions, which would have a devastating effect on its economy.
    7
  5388. I've just counted 20 vaccinations that I spent time travelling into the British Airways Regent Street vaccination centre to have, and paid for. And I'll no doubt spend time and money getting others in the future. So I'm definitely not an anti-vaxer. However, as someone who has very likely had covid-19, I know that I probably now have excellent long term immunity to sars-cov-2. So why on earth would I get vaccinated against this? There are millions of other in the UK who are also now naturally immune. And what kind of sick person administers a vaccine to a kid, when this virus poses a negligible threat to them?
    7
  5389. Short of putting ministers on the rack, they will never admit how good natural immunity is, because of the implications. Right at the start of the pandemic the REAL experts told governments that lockdowns would not work, but just cause untold damage. They were advised to just isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. This same advice was published months later, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration. The incredibly low IFR, less than 0.3%, and rock solid natural immunity shows that the advice in the GBD was spot on. But does anyone really expect sleazy ministers to admit that their insane lockdowns were wrong. No matter what the cost, they are determined to con everyone into believing that vaccines have saved them, and that lockdowns were necessary until they were available. This is a monstrous lie!
    7
  5390.  @barbaraneville5036  The honest and decent scientists and doctors, who are not in their governments' pockets will tell you the truth, but sadly they are few and far between.
    7
  5391. The truth is that most UK voters vote for which of the Conservative of Labour parties they hate and fear the least, rather than the party they actually want. If for just one day British voters can summon up even a modicum of courage then we can change the political landscape in this country for good: in every sense of the word.
    7
  5392. The good news is that Russian generals desperate not to upset Psycho Putin are putting their troops through a meat grinder to make any progress westwards. They price of moving forward is a lot of Russian blood.
    7
  5393. For over 99% of the population sars-cov-2 poses no serious risk. Even at 64 I'm so happy I had covid-19 and acquired PROPER rock solid natural immunity, rather than taking some dodgy poorly tested vaccine.
    7
  5394. What's really worrying is that even if TTK resigns those lined up to take his place are just as bad, and maybe even worse.
    7
  5395. A politician calling another one a liar is rather like a skunk saying that another skunk smells bad.
    7
  5396. Better to have Boris back than some of the self-serving Muppets that want the job!
    7
  5397. So many young people have been priced out of being able to get on the housing ladder and then gouged for extortionate rents. A massive drop in house prices could really help so many, and punish the greedy who thought nothing of exploiting them.
    7
  5398. Great work Ukraine. Hopefully lots more of this is still to come.
    7
  5399.  @187Rajah  Aha, one of Putin's Indian fanboys.
    7
  5400. This a tragedy for India and the world. There are far too many people on this planet, and that number needs to start dropping NOW, and rapidly.
    7
  5401. An alternative heading might be "Rabid Taliban animals days away from overrunning Afghanistan".
    7
  5402.  @ramakrishna-pt8ne  The population in India is still INCREASING. Tell the truth!
    7
  5403. I think the French need to remember how they dealt with Louis XVI who, like Herr Macron, also thought he could rule by divine right.
    7
  5404. Roll up, roll up, folks. Place your bets. What Greek letter are they going to try and scare you with next? Will Omega make it to a cinema near you in time for Christmas?
    7
  5405. When you do a deal with the devil the only thing you can be sure of is that sooner or later he is going to screw you.
    7
  5406. An update on the estimated number of dead Orcs would also be nice. It must be around 50,000 or even 60,000 by now.
    7
  5407. Yeah, a lot of us our wondering whether the perp will turn out to be a whiter shade of pale: or not.
    7
  5408. Where was the warning about distressing images? It's extremely distressing seeing Orcs escape.
    7
  5409. Someone told the Orc pilot there was a free washing machine under the waves.
    7
  5410. Anybody stupid enough to have chosen Hancock as their MP can count themselves lucky if the worst he does is abandon them.
    7
  5411. Looks like those threats worked. With incontrovertible video evidence of grievous bodily harm to a policewoman this was an open and closed case that should have gone straight to court, with the perpetrator receiving a substantial jail term.
    7
  5412. 3 of them getting away was distressing.
    7
  5413. Am I the only one who was really annoyed that the whole of last night's 6pm news (a whole bloody hour) was devoted to this story, when so much else is going on in the world. No wonder many are wondering if it's serious.
    7
  5414. As someone who experienced the effects of mainlined sedatives in an operation last year, I can tell you that they will very quickly loosen most people' tongues, without doing them any harm. That's how I would deal with people like Rose West.
    7
  5415. I so hate seeing Orcs escape, because they will be back later to commit more rape, torture and murder against defenseless civilians.
    7
  5416. Alternatively, with vacancies at an all time high, many of the work-shy, who are fully capable of working, should have the benefits removed!
    7
  5417. Sorry, but I can't understand why the woman (0:20) in the heavy duty navy blue burka is fleeing: you can't even see her eyes. She's behaving in exactly the way the Taliban require. In fact, she appears to be going the extra mile.
    7
  5418. Emperor Xi also knows that China needs the vast amount of trade it does with the West. This is in large measure what has made China the country it is today, and losing that trade would really hurt China's economy.
    7
  5419. It's a pity he didn't flip the car on top of the driver and his passenger.
    7
  5420. So let me get my head around this logic. Kids with no immunity, who can catch and spread covid-19, can go on holiday. But those of us who have had covid-19 and now have natural immunity, that is just as good, if not better, than that conferred by vaccination, cannot. Yep, that really sounds like Downing Street is "listening to the science". Has anyone explained to these Bozos that the name of the game is getting immunity, not how you get it.
    7
  5421. Because he's getting steadily more unhinged?
    7
  5422. Of course it didn't save lots of lives, but it did save quite a few bank balances.
    7
  5423. Are these the actions of someone who genuinely desires peace?
    7
  5424. Well done young man. Your parents must be so proud of you!
    7
  5425. So many agree with you, but YouTube has removed most comments saying this, along with countless likes.
    7
  5426. A few cluster munitions might quickly silence the Orc gunfire. Use them!
    7
  5427. As most of that grain goes to countries that either support or don't condemn Putin, do we really care?
    7
  5428. The best solution is for Poland and Finland to give Ukraine those tanks ASAP, without waiting for cowardly Scholz to give them the go ahead. All decent countries will support this action.
    7
  5429. Probably not too far off, as the figures were grossly inflated to create fear.
    7
  5430. Because he's got less backbone than a jellyfish!
    7
  5431. And a little brain.
    7
  5432. If we are honest, at least half of all degrees awarded are less use than a piece of toilet paper. Young people are being conned into getting themselves massively into debt instead of going straight into a job and getting the training they need within that job. This is certainly true for the police and also true for our nurses. Most degrees only benefit the universities and the lecturers they keep in a job.
    7
  5433. It would only have been sad if they missed, and the Orcs escaped.
    7
  5434. Maybe if a few Russia cities experienced the same more Russian's might develop a conscience.
    7
  5435. For Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries we need some kind of emergency provisional membership of NATO, so that they can get immediate protection. As this is exactly what Putin doesn't want it would further weaken his credibility.
    7
  5436. Very easy to shoot down.
    7
  5437. 1. Were lockdowns really necessary? 2. Should most people have been vaccinated?
    7
  5438. I expect 7/10 would also say they don't like Labour either. So people need to grow a pair and vote for a party they might actually like, rather than one of the two that they hate and fear the least.
    7
  5439. A politician lying. Who'd have thought?
    7
  5440. A good payback would be a Russian oil tanker: preferably empty, to avoid damaging the environment.
    7
  5441. Sad, but somewhat inevitable. When you only get a few precious weeks holiday a year why risk the British weather ruining it? There's also another major contributing factor. The cost of travel, accommodation and eating out in the UK is a serious rip-off!
    7
  5442. Sadly, most people only get their information from a corrupt BBC, and believe every word.
    7
  5443. Only bad thing about this is that it should have been done many years ago, and we should have thrown in a few ayatollahs for good measure.
    7
  5444. What an insane thing to do. I wonder if ordinary Belgians support their government importing terrorists?
    7
  5445. I'm totally opposed to blackmailing people with vaccine passports. But if someone will get vaccinated for a freebee or a few quid, that's a choice they have made for themselves, so I'm absolutely fine with this.
    7
  5446. "No substance" because the same holds for what's between his ears!
    7
  5447. That's like asking someone on the rack whether it's time to give the chap with the red hot poker a turn.
    7
  5448. Honesty and intelligence aren't among his attributes either.
    7
  5449. A far more sensible solution would be to impose massive fines for illegal parking and littering. Wardens could be employed to enforce this, and a good profit still made.
    7
  5450. Absolute crap. Almost all who died just happened to have covid-19 at the same time. If someone is admitted to hospital for something else and then turns out to have a cold we don't put their death down to the cold. This is exactly the same.
    7
  5451. The last intelligent PM we had was Thatcher. She was a former research chemist, with a proper degree. Just look at what the last latest three clowns have: classics, geography, and PPE. And the ones before aren't any better. Everything that gives people long, healthy and comfortable lives is down to scientists, engineers and mathematicians. These are the kind of people that should be ruling this country!
    7
  5452. Sometimes the ONLY way to protect, or get back, your freedom is to fight for it!
    7
  5453. If the public tends to follow government then it bodes very badly for democracy.
    7
  5454. I wouldn't want to cause the family distress by speculating on why Hamas have done this.
    7
  5455.  @Alekssolzynitsyn  But not our arms and soldiers.
    7
  5456. Very nice, but don't leave a job half done. Use some of those Storm Shadows to destroy the other half too. How Putin would cry when his beloved Kerch bridge become completely unusable.
    7
  5457. The thing about democracy and free speech is that one has to put up with hearing things that offend you.
    7
  5458. Nobody would die if the Orcs stayed in their own country!
    7
  5459. What quivering coward Steve means is that protesting against lockdowns and forced vaccinations is frightening snowflakes like him.
    7
  5460. Galloway is extremely lucky that he is living in such a tolerant (some would say too tolerant) democracy. He is indeed fortunate that those who oppose anti-Semitism do not adopt the same tactics as those who support it!
    7
  5461. If Putin does attend BRICS I hope some of NATO's special forces won't squander a heaven sent opportunity to take him out. God knows there will be no shortage of operatives very keen to take on the task.
    7
  5462. Denmark is close enough to Sweden to see the horrific damage that letting in the wrong sort of people can do to a country!
    7
  5463. Every time Putin gets on a plane someone wastes the opportunity to blow it out of the sky!
    7
  5464. If Russia is kicked out of Ukraine then, after all the support given by NATO and the West, it would make a lot of sense to bring Ukraine into NATO as quickly as possible, in order to hinder further attacks against it. Of course this is one reason why Putin will never give up, and have to be forced out.
    7
  5465. Posing is the operative word, as you have to have a pair to be an alpha male.
    7
  5466. I've lived in several other countries, but never seen so many blobs wobbling down the high street as in the UK. I'd like to shove a few bags of crisps and lots of chocolate in my shopping basket every time I go shopping, but a exercise some self restraint.
    7
  5467. No decent person wants to see children hurt. But instead of condemning Israel those who hide behind women and children need to be condemned.
    7
  5468. I hope none of this bounce back is due to Western traders buying roubles.
    7
  5469. "Commanders will be the first to flee". And being well behind the front lines they also have a good head start. A "brave Russian general" must be the ultimate oxymoron.
    7
  5470. You have been naughty and looked at proscribed research: the Israeli and Cleveland studies. Don't you know you are only allowed to look at the small, and very heavily criticised Kentucky study, that says what governments want to hear.
    7
  5471. All well and good, but it's now time we started to see cluster munitions being used to flush the Orcs out of their trenches. What's the point of sending weapons to Ukraine if they aren't put to good use?
    7
  5472. Great, as long as the environment isn't sacrificed.
    7
  5473. Would that be the munitions plant that doubles as a maternity hospital?
    7
  5474. I would like to see a legal process against the police involved, for unlawful arrest.
    7
  5475. BUT, the US, and all western democracies, have every right to cease all trading with China! And India too, for that matter.
    7
  5476. What the likes of Nabarro doesn't mention is that it makes perfect sense to vaccinate all of ones own people first: and it is a government's duty to put its citizens and taxpayers first. Once all, or most of a country's population has become immune, either through vaccination, or otherwise, it really doesn't matter how badly the infection is raging in other countries, or whether a few infected people enter the country, as long as its health service doesn't have to treat them. The "nobody is safe until everyone is safe" propaganda is just another lie.
    7
  5477. All we need now is dogs that can sniff out bullshit and corruption in Downing Street.
    7
  5478. YouTube removing comments saying that Ukraine might as well now make best use of its long-range missiles.
    7
  5479. If only Ukraine could make these attacks far more regular. They just aren't anywhere near frequent enough to have that much of an impact.
    7
  5480. Do these people really not understand the dire future consequences for innocent civilians if Hamas is allowed any sort of victory?
    7
  5481. Nice Western sounding name for one of Putin's trolls.
    7
  5482. To anyone who isn't mentally enfeebled it was patently obvious that someone who wasn't "vulnerable" was not going to fall into that river at that point at not be able to extricate themselves. One could almost make a (black) comedy out of Lancashire police's incompetence.
    7
  5483. Like rats running from terriers.
    7
  5484. I am expecting some Ukrainian who speaks perfect Russian to set off a massive bomb in a crowded Moscow subway. I'm just surprised it hasn't already happened.
    7
  5485. Now watch "teachers", and their nasty corrupt unions, whining about how their lives are being put at risk. If the relatively few good teachers had been running the show then schools would have carried on as normal throughout this facade, and exams would never have been cancelled. What's been done to our children's education and mental health is incredibly selfish and cowardly.
    7
  5486. Exactly, and YouTube is removing most comments that say this.
    7
  5487. Before this all gets blamed on climate change, let's not forget that these people totally ravaged what was once one of the richest ecosystems in the world. Well, perhaps this ecosystem is now paying them back. To a certain degree forests create their own climate, but these people have butchered their forests.
    7
  5488. Many years ago I was on the return leg of my walk on the Paradise Valley Trail, in King's Canyon National Park. It was early in the season so I was all by myself making my way down a rock staircase facing the sun. All of a sudden I heard this rattling and over my left shoulder was a snake that was sunning itself curled up in the corner. I just shot forward, which was away from the snake. I guess that's why it didn't strike: a lucky escape.
    7
  5489. Once this is over, in the spirit of "Allo, Allo" perhaps we will have a comedy called "Dobra, Dobra".
    7
  5490. Yep, block out the guy's face, otherwise someone would recognise that he's an actor at Russian MoD Film Studios, and not a real soldier. As always, no animals or people were hurt in the making of this video.
    7
  5491. That's a bit like moving one's support from Mussolini to Hitler or Stalin. This country desperately needs an alternative to BOTH the Labour and Conservative parties. A party made up of politicians with intelligence and integrity. But finding enough of these seems like a very big ask.
    7
  5492. Iran too, with all the drones it supplied!
    7
  5493. That, and the breakup of the Russian Federation have been Putin's greatest fears, for some time now.
    7
  5494. Who would have thought, just a couple of years ago, that Australia would become a despotic Nazi state, and that the police would turn out to be a bunch of Gestapo thugs that Hitler would have been really proud of. A few days ago they even turned on some Jews celebrating Yom Kippur. As others have said, Australia has gone back to its roots and become a penal colony once more.
    7
  5495. It really is way past time that Moscow suffered a major explosion. Come on Ukraine, look at what the IRA managed in London with very limited resources.
    7
  5496. But if it was up to the BBC you would never have found this out.
    7
  5497. An awful lot of Scots would beg to differ, but then Hitler would have maintained the same right up to the end.
    7
  5498. Absolutely correct. EXTREMELY MILD Omicron offers the very real prospect of bringing herd immunity, and an end to this pandemic.
    7
  5499. I wish them every success, and a very very busy winter: which would make things very hot for Putin.
    7
  5500. BB, let's be honest. Those who benefit most from enquiries are the lawyers who are paid handsomely to conduct them. And often they end up delivering nothing at all or, worse still exonerating the guilty. Three utter travesties immediately spring to mind: Grenfell, Covid and the Post Office. Others could name many more. What we need in this case isn't an enquiry, but the much delayed bringing to justice of perpetrators AND those who turned a blind eye to their repulsive crimes.
    7
  5501. Perhaps Putin is hoping that Ukraine will give him the time he needs to repair the military supply lines that they destroyed in the past 24 hours.
    7
  5502. Looking at the absolutely brilliant job done on Russia's flagship, it's clear that giving Ukraine the best weapons we can, ASAP, will pay enormous dividends: probably for the whole world.
    7
  5503. Pity they weren't turned into bacon.
    7
  5504. No doubt, as usual, the government went for a cheap and nasty product, rather than a more expensive one that would perform well.
    7
  5505. I really hope Ukraine can keep up or even increase the momentum. Not giving the Orcs time to set up defenses seems to be paying massive dividends.
    7
  5506. Alex, you fail to mention that he spoke the magical get out of jail phrase: "allah hu akbar".
    7
  5507. The Christmas pantomime season has started early in Moscow's Red Square this year. Putin: Eastern Ukraine is now part of Russia. Rest of World: Oh no it isn't. Putin: Oh yes it is.
    7
  5508. Russia has thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines, and it can't possibly protect them all along their length. Ukraine should be taking out sections of these left, right and centre, in retaliation! There's probably plenty of other electricity and water infrastructure that would also make fairly easy targets. Doesn't Ukraine want to punish Russia?
    7
  5509. ​ @Lynette.usa.  I think doing this in the UK might also be illegal.
    7
  5510. Misery loves company. Millions of schmucks now know they have been well and truly suckered, but they will feel so much better seeing others forced to do what they were stupid enough to do freely.
    7
  5511. This man should be hailed as a hero. He saved Brazil from insanely damaging lockdowns that would have done no good, but would have destroyed countless jobs and businesses, and buggered the hell out of kids' education and mental health. The crimes against humanity have been committed by Downing Street, the Australian, and most Western European governments.
    7
  5512. This was reported by others a couple of days ago!
    7
  5513. Lowering the education, and ability for critical thinking, of most children is a good way of insuring more Labour voters in the future.
    7
  5514. Only a complete fool would now fail to recognise that the Tories are finished. Unless we want an eternity of Labour governments then we desperately need an alternative like Reform UK, and we need to get behind it. Come next election a Conservative vote is a vote flushed down the toilet!
    7
  5515. Sunak needs to give the rest of the UK a vote on whether we want to keep Northern Ireland in the UK!
    7
  5516. Well, the only people who will object to Braverman's proposal are bent lawyers.
    7
  5517. Too much spent on managers and admin staff, who most of the time make it harder for doctors and nurses to do their jobs.
    7
  5518. Of course it won't. It will be helped along!
    7
  5519. If MI5 actually "dealt" with these terrorist, rather than just watching them, then they would be under a lot less pressure. But I guess the government doesn't want to upset certain groups.
    7
  5520. Remind me what the penalty for spying is during wartime.
    7
  5521. Sunak was bloody useless, but swapping him for Starmer is like swapping Crabs for penicillin resistant Gonorrhea.
    7
  5522. When I see a stationary tank start to move after being hit I imagine a couple of Orcs inside having their cross-hand bougie interrupted.

  5523. Despite being more than twice the size, and with land better suited to cultivation and animal husbandry, France now has a smaller population than Britain. France is a stunningly beautiful country, with a better climate and an incredibly rich cultural heritage. It also has a better health service, and probably better schools too. So the idiots in Westminster need to ask themselves what the hell Britain is doing so wrong that people who reach France would rather move on to Britain, often at serious risk to their lives.

  5524. Not just here, but in so many places, planting (and nurturing in their early years) VAST NUMBERS of trees can help. Through transpiration, and retaining moisture in the soil, trees create a local wetter climate. With enough effort you can even use them to push back deserts!
    7
  5525. Margaret Thatcher was the last PM who had any backbone. She also had a proper degree, in Chemistry (and had been a research chemist), unlike the Classics, Geography and PPE brigade.
    7
  5526. Since Ukrainian women and children are consistently being targeted with missiles launched from bases in Russia, the right and decent thing to do is to give Ukraine weapons that can take out those bases.
    7
  5527. When myself and many others had mortgages we would have been doing cartwheels of joy if the rate had been as low as 6%. Are so many people that stupid as to believe mortgage rates would remain at absurdly low levels, and make no allowance for them rising to something more realistic?
    7
  5528. Macron is a mummy's boy who married someone old enough to be his mother. So, of course, like a lot of children, he's going to sulk for a long time and throw lots of tantrums.
    7
  5529. You don't sack someone for telling the TRUTH! Suella simply gave voice to what we KNOW.
    7
  5530. Yet another missed opportunity to take Putin out. Aren't there any maintenance engineers willing to see that his aircraft has an "accident"?
    6
  5531. It will continue to burn if either the Tories are let back or replaced by Labour. British voters need to man up and choose a party they actually want and trust, rather than deciding which of the CURRENT two major ones they fear and detest least.
    6
  5532. There are an awful lot of British soldiers, who would dearly love the chance to waste as many Orcs as possible. The same goes for American and Polish soldiers.
    6
  5533. Many employers are struggling to fill vacancies, while tens of thousands who could fill them CHOOSE instead to sponge off those who do work. Next door to me is one such woman in her 50s. I don't think she has ever done a full days work in her entire life. So many people could relate similar tales. These PARASITES should be stripped of their benefits!
    6
  5534. So let me get this right. The IRGC hijacking a shipping vessel in international waters, and not for the first time, is not an act of terrorism. Grow a pair, Sunak!
    6
  5535. Probably not many are still alive, which is part of the reason Hamas is in no hurry to make a deal, which would reveal this truth.
    6
  5536. That win would be easier if Putin's best buddy Trump hadn't just suspended military aid!
    6
  5537. One can just picture Lee Anderson as a Victorian mill owner squeezing the life out of his workers, and telling them they have never had it so good.
    6
  5538. We need a referendum as to whether the rest of the UK wants Northern Ireland. But we all know what the result would be, so we won't get one.
    6
  5539. Very well done those kids and parents who have refused to behave like frightened sheep. I keep telling my students that they need to give the middle finger to tests and masks.
    6
  5540. There was absolutely no reason for Macron to make such a statement, and by doing so he has only made things more dangerous. Perhaps he would now like to publish a list of sites in Ukraine that he is happy for Putin to nuke.
    6
  5541. I've paid to voluntarily have about 20 vaccine shots in the past, but I'll pass on these rushed through offerings, thank you very much.
    6
  5542. Am I the only one thinking spoilt little rich girl, who's upset that people aren't saying nice things about her?
    6
  5543. That's so sad. Years ago, for the hiking and skiing, I would have really loved to live in SLC. I can also remember enjoying a long hike around Antelope Island.
    6
  5544. Not as sick as YouTube helping to cover it up makes me.
    6
  5545. Parents and families would be even more upset if they had the slightest idea of the quality, or lack thereof, of so many who are purporting to teach their kids. About 30 years ago, after many very successful years as a software developer, I took my PGCE at Leeds University, specialising in maths teaching. I was aghast at how many of my fellow students, some fresh off their maths degree, were terrified of tacking A-level questions on sight. But that's not the end of it. You see, because of the extra cost, most schools now don't employ the older more experienced teachers, they are only interested in recruiting the newly qualified ones, or even just trainees. In fact, some schools even bully their older staff, who are more expensive, into leaving. Don't believe me? Take a good look at the age of most of the teachers in your kid's school.
    6
  5546. Whether there is any foundation in what the US claims I couldn't say. However, what I can say with absolute conviction is that I don't trust a word Dominic Raab says: or most of the cabinet, including Boris, for that matter.
    6
  5547.  @1aatlas  Lying about being forced is also a very serious crime.
    6
  5548. What are we paying our navy for? Not one RN vessel is patrolling the channel in order to force these boats back into French waters. I know this sounds incredibly dumb, but I thought our navy's job was to protect our shores from invasion.
    6
  5549. C'est vraiment beau!
    6
  5550. Give them nothing and we can afford to keep OAPs warm in the winter!
    6
  5551. With good off-the-shelf VR like the Oculus Rift it's been possible, for some time now, to build small, very fast and highly maneuverable suicide drones that can be crashed into fighter jets. Since there's no pilot, g-forces aren't a problem, so they could execute maneuvers that would kill any pilot. They won't be cheap, but they would be vastly cheaper than a manned fighter jet and virtually impossible to avoid. In fact I'd be amazed if they don't already exist as part of a top secret arsenal.
    6
  5552. Does Labour support Hamas rearming and regrouping, and carrying out further attacks like 7th October, as it has vowed to do?
    6
  5553. "US involvement would be very dangerous" It would indeed, for the Iranian regime!
    6
  5554. Exactly! The same sort of police our now tearing down posters of Hamas hostages.
    6
  5555. The Russian air force also shows outstanding bravery against defenceless women and children.
    6
  5556. Mother nature has had about 2 billion years to develop our immune system, but here's the thing. Once an infection has passed the antibody count always drops within a few months: usually to vanishingly small levels. However, memory B and T cells remain on guard, ready to very quickly churn out antibodies again if there is a further infection with that virus. This should make one wonder whether their might be a serious downside to maintaining high antibody levels when they are not needed. Booster shots are intended to keep that antibody count high, but there might be a damn good reason why our immune systems haven't evolved to do this!
    6
  5557. Sadly Andrew Bridgen is in a very tiny minority. Most MPs REALLY want the truth buried.
    6
  5558. Les habitants de pays comme la Biélorussie, la Moldavie et la Géorgie devraient peut-être réfléchir au soutien qu’ils peuvent attendre de Poutine lorsque les choses commencent à devenir désagréables pour eux.
    6
  5559. Genuine de-Nazification!
    6
  5560. Oh, you mean like other sensible countries.
    6
  5561. Imagine what would have happened to the country if Sturgeon had been leading it. Well, we would no longer have an immigration problem, because she would have buggered us up so badly that no one would want to come here anymore. I'll bet none of those tears are for all those Scottish businesses that she sent to the wall.
    6
  5562. Think of clearing trenches of filthy Orcs like clearing vermin out of farmyard ditches, except that one might feel some sympathy for the rats.
    6
  5563. This should have happened months ago. Especially to any heading eastwards.
    6
  5564. Why wouldn't you pay tribute to someone who gross incompetence handed you the leadership?
    6
  5565. And wave Palestinian flags!
    6
  5566. How often does it need repeating? Hungary should be kicked out of both the EU and NATO!
    6
  5567. Any judge who was a half-decent human being would recognise that what this woman, and many like her, posted was done in the heat of the moment and not really meant. Most of these people do not deserve to go to prison. Rather than behave like courts in Russia, our judges need to do what's right, rather than just what the government wants them to do!
    6
  5568. Caught a moron? Well having let Hancock go, there's a vacancy for another one in the cabinet.
    6
  5569. There was an advert a few years ago that I really loved. It showed a pepperoni sausage with stick limbs and a face strutting its stuff. And the catch phrase was "Pepperoni, it's a bit of an animal" - brilliant.
    6
  5570. Putin must be made to pay for this!
    6
  5571. With the pipeline in its own country Ukraine needs to destroy it. And Hungary needs to be booted out of both the EU and NATO.
    6
  5572. This shows just how desperate Putin is becoming, though going cap in hand to North Korea for arms was a good indication of this. Therefore it's essential that Ukraine keeps up its counter-offensive throughout the winter: and the West and NATO makes certain it has the resources to do so.
    6
  5573. Giving the report to Boris first is like the prosecution handing its evidence to the defendant, rather than letting the judge and jury see it. The FULL report should have been made available to EVERYBODY!
    6
  5574. Caught taking pictures of the clerics' secret Booze and Bacon parties, no doubt.
    6
  5575. Just because your 4 year-old son plays with his sister's dolls doesn't mean he should be put on the waiting list for hormone treatment and the chop.
    6
  5576.  @stuart207  I only tutor privately now. Between schools having to pay me top of the scale for my experience, and the fact that I'm not one to bite my lip, UK schools would touch me with a barge pole. How well you can teach your subject ceased to be one of the main recruitment criteria many years ago. Anyway, I would have been sacked for refusing to teach online or enforce any covid-19 restrictions in my classroom.
    6
  5577. At the very least, Arab states ought to demand that Hamas stops hiding among civilians and using them as human shields.
    6
  5578. Perhaps it would be much more effective to have severe sentences for carrying knives, and a lot more stop and search?
    6
  5579. ​ @rbb.828  By your argument it would also be OK to by cotton or sugar from a plantation worked by slaves, because it was cheaper.
    6
  5580. If you are a Putin rent boy I feel sorry for you.
    6
  5581. We only have Russia's word that 65 PoWs were on board. And Russia is not renowned for its veracity!
    6
  5582. The BBC did the same for the Tories during the Covid panic. The refused to report on some really massive anti-lockdown demos, and wouldn't report on peer-reviewed research showing how incredibly good natural immunity was.
    6
  5583. So, the worm is finally turning.😊
    6
  5584. To paraphrase Boris: "let's get it done!"
    6
  5585. People who own their own homes usually don't vote for Labour. Need I say more?
    6
  5586. Wasn't it nice of those Orcs to get together so that too much ammo didn't have to be used eradicating them.
    6
  5587. Please stop using the word "execute" in circumstances like these. Call it what it is MURDER!
    6
  5588. If any Russian fighter "strays" into Slovak air space let's hope they score a bullseye.
    6
  5589. And kids love them.
    6
  5590. A lot of Muslims are very good people and do accept British values. I've known quite a few myself. However, we shouldn't be afraid to call out those that strongly oppose those values that all civilized people treasure. There is no place in the UK, or any other Western country for these types!
    6
  5591. Hopefully YouTube will stop removing most comments that say something like this!
    6
  5592. “ALL Peace Starts With Talks!” But it still requires BOTH sides to negotiate in good faith. Hamas and Hezbollah share Hitler's agenda for the Jews. Does anyone believe that negotiating with Hitler was ever an option? Chamberlain did in 1938 and look how well that ended.
    6
  5593. @irigouis88 What part of not being able to spread covid-19 if you are immune can't you get your tiny brain round?
    6
  5594. Instead of these people allowing Putin's goons to arrest them one at a time they should have brought along crowbars, and knives, and fought back all at the same time. Petrol bombs also work very well against goons in protective gear.
    6
  5595. Like clearing out the rats in a farmyard, except that the rats deserve more sympathy.
    6
  5596. Well it doesn't help when you are stuffed to the gills with Bleeding Heart Liberals crying "poor Taliban". These BHLs, whose bravest act is changing motorway lanes, tied our brave soldiers' hands behind their backs, instead of giving them carte blanche to do what needed to be done. Shutting down Guantanamo Bay was a big mistake, and jailing Alexander Blackman was utterly shameful. This is why the Taliban was able to bounce back so easily.
    6
  5597. I wonder if the bookies would take a bet that these flights will be less than a quarter full?
    6
  5598. Possibly Ukraine's biggest mistake was not simply carrying on with their previous offensive. They had the Orcs on the mat, and instead of putting the boot in they allowed them to get up, go off to their corner and recuperate. That's why there are now so many Orc trenches, minefields and dragon's teeth. It didn't take a military genius to predict this.
    6
  5599. Of course, if like Sunak and his family, you have lots of money then you can get more or less instant access to some of the very best medical treatment in the world, here in London.
    6
  5600. Indeed they should, but they won't!
    6
  5601. To those of us that have lived abroad it's very evident that the UK is now one of the fattest countries in the world. Years ago people used to be ashamed of being fat, but most now don't give it a second thought as they waddle and puff their way down the high street.
    6
  5602. As most Brits are now finding out, knowing you've got a really bad government, and being able to do something about it, are two very different things.
    6
  5603. Millions of people really don't want to vote either Conservative or Labour. If they have any sense they will vote Reform UK instead.
    6
  5604. They also need to speak up for the abused white girls in places like Rochdale, where the police don't seem to give a damn!
    6
  5605. While Putin is in power there is no prospect of peace under any terms that would be acceptable to Ukraine. The simple fact is that, because of all the suffering Putin has inflicted on Russia, he must deliver a significant victory in order to remain in power. And if he losses power he may well also loss his life.
    6
  5606. Yep, but you can get 2½ jail just for tweeting a few hurty words.
    6
  5607. To me Virginia seems more like a tenacious money grabbing leach. She lived the high life as a teenager, with first class flights to London, and lots of exclusive parties, all of which I'm sure she thoroughly relished. Does she look unhappy in that now infamous picture? Then when she passed her sell by date she extracted a very large sum of money, and now she is doing the same again. Randy Andy is no saint, but Virginia is definitely no Mother Theresa.
    6
  5608. The way young people have been treated for the last 15 months has been selfish and cowardly. The risk to young people is negligible, and that posed to most of those who teach them is really very small. Schools and universities should have carried on as normal, and exams should never have been cancelled. Parents who have been fobbed off with online "learning" might like to reflect on what Katharine Birbalsingh, head of the Michaela Community School, is on record as saying: "there is no such thing as good online learning". Any decent, honest teacher will say the same.
    6
  5609. If I was a student I wouldn't waste my time attending any of this "doctor's" lectures, and would be asking for a refund.
    6
  5610. There's a simple reason for the staffing crisis. These jobs are very poorly paid and bloody hard work. Both these issues need fixing, because as it stands working in Lidl, or behind a bar, is a vastly more pleasant prospect.
    6
  5611. We don't need the likes of the Houthis to like us, just to fear us!
    6
  5612. One would hope then that we will very shortly see those Storm Shadow missiles put to good use to completely shut down Putin's beloved Kerch bridge once and for all.
    6
  5613. Only NATURAL IMMUNITY will.
    6
  5614. And probably vast sums of public money also going on police protection for them and their hate preachers.
    6
  5615. Neil, for 20 years I spent most of my time working as a freelance software engineer, so I got to see management (mal)practice in an awful lot of companies. Here's how it works. A manager has already decided what he wants to do, but he doesn't want to take responsibility for the consequences. Therefore a consultant is called in. Hopefully the consultant will recommend what the manager wants to do. However sometimes this doesn't happen, but no problem. That consultant is fired and another one is put on the job after being told that the manager doesn't want to hear the same solution that got the previous consultant fired. Sound familiar?
    6
  5616. No. Just three BENT judges, watching their pay packets, and giving the verdict their masters told them to.
    6
  5617. Saying more pay will attract more teachers is highly disingenuous, because there are thousands of teachers out there that schools simply point blank refuse to employ. They are the older more experienced ones, who would be happy to work for the current salaries, but schools don't want them because they are higher up the pay scale than newly qualified teachers or trainees. Before returning to the UK I can remember getting a position at an international school in Italy. There was no haggling over pay. I was put straight on their highest level for newly recruited staff. However on returning to the UK no school wanted me. So for the past 10 years I privately tutored A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. All are subjects I know inside out, and all are shortage subjects.
    6
  5618. Am I the only one who thinks that having this Howitzer under a tiny row of trees, just off the road, tucked between a well plowed field on one side, and a very well planted one on the other, seems just a little bit unlikely? Not that I'm suggesting that this might not even be filmed in Ukraine, might not be a Howitzer, or that the Russian MoD ever fabricates its videos.
    6
  5619. What about "change is good even when it's a Prime Minister"?😉
    6
  5620. I'm sure she didn't mean black Jews.
    6
  5621. The only thing Clarkson should be sacked for is not having Harry join her in the march of penance.
    6
  5622. Why would anyone want to listen to anything Liz Truss has to say? Go watch a comedian or a clown, you'll get a bit more sense, and a lot more entertainment.
    6
  5623. The trouble is that a delayed counteroffensive may be counterproductive. The Orcs are currently in a fair degree of disarray. The very last thing Ukraine needs is to give them the time to regroup, resupply, and dig in. The best time to kick your opponent is when he's down, rather than you both going back to your corners.
    6
  5624. What about mentioning the systemic abuse of women in so many countries? They are often treated even worse.
    6
  5625. But the scum in Downing Street don't want people knowing this.
    6
  5626. I'm guessing that an awful lot of Russians are indeed imagining what could have been attacked instead, and what might still be.
    6
  5627. Two can play at this game. It's really easy to manufacture some incredibly nasty gases, that could then be used on gatherings of clerics or revolutionary guards.
    6
  5628. Turkey needs to follow Britain's example with Scotland. Give the Kurds a vote on whether they want to become independent of Turkey. Turkey's problems with them would end instantly.
    6
  5629. Absolutely correct. One law for all!
    6
  5630. There have now been quite a few reports of this, and not just by Israel. But no matter how strong the evidence those who call themselves pro-Palestinian, but are in reality pro-Hamas anti-Semites, will refuse to believe this.
    6
  5631. Both Labour and the Tories care more about votes from certain groups. Don't hold your breath on any arrests and decent sentencing. We all know that FGM, forced under-age marriage, and abusing young white girls, is legal in the UK as long as you belong to certain ethnic groups and a certain religion.
    6
  5632. The miserable gits in SAGE will be crying their eyes out at the sight of people enjoying a carefree day.
    6
  5633. If I think back 50 years I can remember lots of houses next to Chase Farm hospital, in Enfield, that were used to provide homes for its doctors and nurses. For many decades they were then just left derelict and boarded up. Then, about ten years ago everything was sold to private developers, to build expensive flats and houses on. Call me a soft touch, but I think looking after those who look after us was a very sensible investment. Nurses get a bloody poor deal, as do many doctors. Covid-19 has not brought the NHS to it's knees, it's just being used as an excuse. What has precipitated this crisis is decades of government neglect coupled with the cancerous growth of a parasitic and grossly swollen management that have sucked the lifeblood out of our doctors and nurses.
    6
  5634. Yes, and these criminals are getting punished for invading Ukraine.
    6
  5635. Actually the insane lockdowns and restrictions provided very strong evolutionary pressure that favoured strains like the Delta variant. Without this massive leg up from our politicians Delta would almost certainly not have been able to compete against the less infectious variants, and would not have become dominant. Of course, what everything is pointing to is that the advice, given very early on to governments, and later published in the Great Barrington Declaration, should have been followed, and would have worked spectacularly well.
    6
  5636. I posted a similar comment 17 hours ago, but it has only got one "like". This is the YouTube script kiddies' latest trick to make you think they haven't hidden your post from everyone else: dishonest and pathetic.
    6
  5637.  1990skelly  Says the terrified covid-19 snowflake.
    6
  5638. What's even more mental is parents who won't let their kids make their own way to school. Many could really benefit from walking or cycling. When I lived in Berlin I can remember little girls who were probably about seven or eight making their own way to school on their scooters.
    6
  5639. So, you think he's a man?
    6
  5640. Is that the sound of a Putin fanboy crying?
    6
  5641. Dentists are so in demand that I'm surprised ANY bother working for the NHS.
    6
  5642. Isn't funny how a house full of hundreds of professional liars and cheats gets so upset when the same thing is done to them?
    6
  5643. Looks like perfect weather for a big Orc barbecue.
    6
  5644. And for tens of thousands of others who claim they can't work when they most certainly can!
    6
  5645.  @mail4lana  I can't imagine any decent parent giving their child a vaccine that hasn't undergone years of testing, when this virus poses such a tiny risk to them.
    6
  5646. Well, no one could begrudge you Aussies a good laugh at what's going on in England. God knows, with the tyranny that you have endured, you need a laugh. But us Poms are really going to laugh it up when you guys finally catch Morrison and Andrews with their pants down. Sooner or later someone is going to squeal on them, and it's going to be one of the funniest things ever.
    6
  5647. I'm still expecting TACO to just set another extendable deadline.
    6
  5648. The simple truth is that Britain hasn't had a single decent Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher. But then she had a scientific background: research chemist.
    6
  5649. If anything, with deaths due to covid-19 NOT shooting up (SAGE as usual got it badly wrong), restrictions should be removed.
    6
  5650. John Major was probably the thickest prime minister that Britain has ever had. He got his position solely because when other ministers were being sacked for disagreeing with Maggie he always toadied to her.
    6
  5651. It's clearly ridiculous for Sunak to waste time on what Putin thinks or says. No sensible person expects Putin to say "mea culpa, and Mother Russia is paying a very heavy price". Putin's trademark is his rants and empty threats.
    6
  5652. I wonder if this whining couple have any idea how much contempt most people hold them in. They enjoy an extremely comfortable lifestyle that is way beyond what the vast majority of us can even dream of. Sorry, but I think getting a little interest from the press is a very small price to pay in order to live in the lap of luxury. This is especially so when neither of them is particularly bright, or have done anything particularly heroic with their lives.
    6
  5653. Am I the only one who thinks Starmer is like a petulant little boy constantly whining that "it's my turn"? I'm no Sunak fan, but for the sake of this country I hope it's never Starmer's turn!
    6
  5654. I do have sympathy for the blind, but as a small minority they must not expect the world to revolve around them, or they will lose that sympathy. If e-scooters get people out of cars it will be great for the environment in so many ways: less green house gases, less pollution, and less noise. The needs of the (very) many outweigh the needs of the (very) few!
    6
  5655. Wow, a decent jail sentence. The human rights lawyers will be putting in complaints about the judge.
    6
  5656. And worse still in Downing Street.
    6
  5657. “no further danger to anybody” On the basis of this argument most of those involved in the riots, and making heat of the moment tweets that they never really meant, should never have been jailed!
    6
  5658. You mean the TRUTH is too heavy for the ice to support.
    6
  5659. Hopefully Putin's beloved Kerch bridge will soon become a much easier target. I'm really looking forward to watching him rant when it's destroyed.
    6
  5660. Thankfully Macron doesn't speak for Europe, though he would like people to think that he does. And people need to understand that Macron sees himself as a latter day Napoleon. The ONLY thing he genuinely cares about is increasing his own power.
    6
  5661. I'd trust the tiger more than Putin!
    6
  5662. Actually, if the many 100's of millions, intended to help Gazans had reached them, instead of being embezzled by Hamas, then Gaza would have already looked like a riviera, and Gazans would have enjoyed an enviable lifestyle. Ah, but then they wouldn't have supported Hamas!
    6
  5663. Many of them now won't be needing virgins or otherwise.🤣🤣🤣

  5664. If the definition of insanity is repeating your mistakes then what does copying someone else's say about you?

  5665. If there's one thing this world won't miss it's golf courses.
    6
  5666. Rape is an abhorrent crime and I wouldn't want anyone to get away with it. But whatever happened to the principle that someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Russel Brand should not have had his shows cancelled as his guilt has not yet been proven. I'm also very concerned at the quality of evidence after 20 years. Yes, some crimes are extremely difficult to prove, but does that mean that we lower (maybe drastically) the standard of acceptable proof? A guilty person escaping justice is bad, but an innocent person being wrongly convicted and punished for something they didn't do is so much worse!

  5667. Those who are genuinely sorry want to make some kind of restitution. I don't hear this guy offering to now fight against the Wagner group. Frankly, it sounds a lot like this guy is only sorry for himself.
    6
  5668. Robert, I think all decent people have been screaming to get all young people back to school and university now. AND GCSEs and A-levels should be immediately reinstated! I'd have never have shut schools or universities at all. Unfortunately there seem to be no shortage of cowardly, selfish people, who want to keep schools and universities closed as long as they possibly can. They have little or no mortgage, and a secure income. So, to minutely reduce the risk to themselves, everyone else can go to hell. Julia, I really loved the comment about how, from decrying how bad children spending all the time in front of screens is, people suddenly decided that it's OK. Just goes to show that nobody does hypocrisy better than the British.
    6
  5669. My favourite case of massive hypocorism was the Blairs sending their kids to the state Oratory school. One of the best schools in the country, but a long way from Islington where they lived: and they also got them private tuition.
    6
  5670. I've just made a similar comment.
    6
  5671. Excellent! Hopefully we will soon see a few depots in Belgorod going up in flames.
    6
  5672. Unless things have changed very dramatically in the last 40 years I can tell you that working for the Home Office was a very cushy number. I actually got told off for working too hard! Kick those who have broken the impartiality code out. There are plenty who will be grateful to have such an easy and secure job.
    6
  5673. It ought to be government policy to make sure that private motoring is never cheaper than using public transport, whether it's a bus ride in town or taking a train the length of the country.
    6
  5674. Don't you love the way the BBC vaunts its independence and impartiality, and yet refuses to play this song.
    6
  5675. That would be 2 weeks until restrictions are extended. You can bet good money that scumbag politicians are already considering what excuses they will use to justify the extension.
    6
  5676. If this happens then I'm predicting a few seriously injured, or even killed, headteachers. While most parents will just roll over, there's a good chance that some will go postal. And if this happens we should all go out on Thursday evening and clap.
    6
  5677. But TTK and Labour still wonder why those in Northern Ireland are so fearful.
    6
  5678. So, all you future doctors, never forget that all mRNA treatments are ultra safe, and are the best hope for humanity's future. You know that there's no one more trustworthy and caring than big pharma.
    6
  5679. Merry Christmas, Orcs. Enjoy the festive fireworks.
    6
  5680. When it comes to digging up a road no blockages should occur until immediately before the digging starts. Then the actual works should be carried out 24/7.
    6
  5681. In a way it does Ukraine a favour. That's a few less Orcs they have to feed and look after.
    6
  5682. Many years ago I was walking down the street in Aswan with two German girls. Silke was a sweet natured girl, but suddenly she turned round and swore at two men who had just passed by: she was very upset. One of them hid pinched her on the bottom as he walked by. The girls explained to me that they had experienced lots of this behaviour from Muslim men in Egypt. A lot of Muslim men think they have an Allah given right to abuse white girls. It's way past time our cowardly governments made it very clear that this is totally unacceptable. We need mandatory prison sentences, and deportation, for men like this!
    6
  5683. Il ne fait absolument aucun doute que si nous avions des châtiments corporels pour une agression contre un gardien de prison, de tels incidents seraient considérablement réduits.
    6
  5684. And hopefully they will soon be warming up lots of Orcs too.
    6
  5685. Well, if the vaccines do prove to be dangerous then at least it's the idiots that will die. And you can never have too few idiots in the world.
    6
  5686. We can, but a jellyfish has more spine than Sunak and most of his cabinet.
    6
  5687. Those guilty of such incompetence should receive very long jail sentences.
    6
  5688. And, why did I ever marry her in the first place?
    6
  5689. Since the reason d'être behind oppressive dress for women is to hide their sexual attractiveness, shaving their heads seems to be a totally the wrong thing to do. If anything (though not the older ones please) they should be walking round in bikinis.
    6
  5690. To the best of my knowledge nitrogen gas is a VERY GENTLE way to go. One simply feels a little shortness of breath and then passes out, as if one were going to sleep. This UN do-gooder would say anything to prevent VERY BAD people getting what they richly deserve.
    6
  5691. I wasn't aware Ukraine was currently flying any MiG-29 jets. If they are I'd have expected to hear about them being put to very good use against Russian warships or those critical bridges in Crimea. Or is it that the Romulans and Klingons have given Ukraine cloaking technology and Russia is shooting down invisible jets.
    6
  5692. A strong deterrent? Easy, and a lot cheaper than housing illegals in 4 star hotels. None other than human rights lawyer, and former PM, Tony Blair suggested holding these people on some remote Scottish island. Neither Sunak nor Starmer seem to have taken any notice of this really good suggestion.
    6
  5693. Who bloody cares! For the overwhelming majority of people Covid is less bother than a bad cold, and this has ALWAYS been the case.
    6
  5694. Sooner or later it's not going to be just a teasing arm around the shoulder for Sir Witless.
    6
  5695. The trouble is there is nearly enough of it. There are so many relatively soft targets that haven't been touched, and should have!
    6
  5696. "serious, serious, concern"? Don't make me laugh. Most infections are in young people who aren't getting sick. This is like worrying about people catching a cold. What is of serious concern is all the jobs and businesses that will be lost without June 21 going ahead. What is of serious concern is all the people who won't go for cancer checkups until restrictions are lifted, and all the medical procedures that are cancelled: which will lead to many deaths.
    6
  5697.  @jiml9856  Learn to tell the TRUTH! It was reported that at one stage this convoy was 45 miles long.
    6
  5698. A Putin promise.🤣🤣🤣 About 18 months ago didn't Putin promise that this troops were just on military exercises near Ukraine, and had no intention of invading?
    6
  5699. But the scaremongering has been spectacularly successful and created a country now packed with quivering cowards who wet themselves every time someone says "the end is nigh". There's an old saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Makes you wonder about people who are fooled time and time again.
    6
  5700. More important to protect the fat wallets of immigration lawyers.
    6
  5701. Unfortunately, you mean pandering more than Sunak already does.
    6
  5702. Because of all the protesters who have had excessive force used on them in the last 18 months, your tale is very heartening. There are some who should definitely not be in the police, as I well know. My own brother was forced to resign, after a very serious complaint was made against him. Of course he denied the complaint, but he wasn't the kind of person that lost any sleep about telling the truth.
    6
  5703. Fair comment, but the Tories were selling Britain down the river.
    6
  5704.  @Woodwork-Learner  Actually it has not been proven that wearing a mask does any good. The only serious study that was done was in Denmark, and they were unable to prove or disprove if it was beneficial.
    6
  5705. ​ @Woodwork-Learner  You really aren't very bright, are you? So let me explain it very simply to you. During an operation the biggest threat is due to bacteria, that's also why a surgeon will often inject penicillin directly into the site of the operation when it's over. Masks work well with bacteria for a very simple reason, bacteria are much bigger than viruses. Didn't your mummy ever teach you to know your place and not argue with your betters?
    6
  5706. If, as many of us suspect, this is due to mRNA getting into heart muscle, then there may well be the possibility of it getting into the brain. If this is the case then it is possible that several years, or even decades, later we may see neurodegenerative diseases developing.
    6
  5707. A few days ago they gave the junta one week to step down before taking military action. It now looks like they have climbed down instead: or should that be chickened out.
    6
  5708. The comment about the current big deficit in the typical number of monthly deaths shows very clearly that this virus mainly took out those who were going to die soon anyway. All this lookdown crap and restrictions has been the equivalent of King Canute trying to hold back the tide: except that King Canute wasn't stupid enough to expect success.
    6
  5709. It's not just addicted kids. How often have you seen some social media junkie crossing the road with their nose glued to their "smart" phone, or some parent pushing a pram with one hand on it and a mobile they are staring at in the other?
    6
  5710. This is what happens when the Chicken Taco leaves a job half done!
    6
  5711. Just yesterday this suggestion was made by my barber in a conversation with him. I had just mentioned what wonderful countries Germany and France were, and that I couldn't understand why people passing through them didn't want to settle there instead.
    6
  5712. I've far more fear about what's going to happen if nothing is done and Iran is allowed to develop nukes!
    6
  5713. So basically what the law says is that a school can ban someone totally arbitrarily, and their only recourse against this is to go to court, where, even if they win, the headteacher will not be punished. It is my experience that schools in the UK are only too happy to misapply the law or even break it, if it suits them and they can get away with it. For about 20 years I worked as a freelancer in I.T. and came into contact with many companies and agencies. While I'd struggle to find anyone, among these, who behaved particularly badly, my experience as a teacher is very different. I have no difficulty thinking of lots of cases were teachers behaved in exceedingly nasty and dishonest ways. It's great that BBB has clarified the law. It's not great that in this, and other areas, too much power is vested in teachers who often have no moral compass.
    6
  5714.  @michaeljuan7060  That. my friend, is exactly why these vindictive despots wanted to delay the court hearing as long as possible.
    6
  5715. Because of its location and the prevailing winds, I take a lot of comfort that most radioactive would be blown straight into Russia.
    6
  5716. Probably something to do with his incontinence: he may be wearing a diaper.
    6
  5717. Unfortunately Trump flutters back and forth more than a butterfly in heat.
    6
  5718. Isn't it comforting to know that it's not just in the UK that MPs show total contempt for the will of the people and what's right.
    6
  5719. Only someone who doesn't shop at Aldi or Lidl could come out with such utter nonsense.
    6
  5720.  @Cherrytune386  Only in the imagination of the most abject of cowards.
    6
  5721. This is the only kind of negotiation Russians understand.
    6
  5722. I'm definitely no fan of Rich Boy Sunak, but pots calling kettles black spring to mind.
    6
  5723. Those desperate to avoid escalation are like the patient who keeps avoiding a necessary operation while his condition gets worse and worse. Dealing with Iran now will be unpleasant, but dealing with it later will be far worse!
    6
  5724. And we all know what a politician's promise is worth. So 5 are worth exactly the same.
    6
  5725. To restore public confidence in the Tory party it's probably best if Boris and his whole, rotten to the core, cabinet are replaced by back benchers like Desmond Swayne.
    6
  5726. Any pause in the fighting only serves Putin's ends. The fighting must only stop when all of Ukraine, including Crimea, is liberated. Then very strong measures to secure its future safety must be put in place. Of course, this won't make Trump very happy.
    6
  5727. You wish, Putin fanboy.
    6
  5728. Not quaking, shitting himself. He's really good at that.
    6
  5729. So yet again it's time to talk about what governments hate to hear mentioned: NATURAL IMMUNITY. Two large and highly respected studies in Israel and Cleveland suggest that natural immunity is better than vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. Governments completely ignored these studies. In stark contrast they enthusiastically embraced a study from Kentucky that slightly favoured vaccines. But the thing is that the Kentucky study was very much smaller, far less reliable, and even the researches pointed out lots of its shortcomings. So, yet again, it seems that the advice, given very early on to governments, and later published in the Great Barrington Declaration, was the correct strategy. Namely, just isolate the most vulnerable, and let everyone else get on with their lives until NATURAL herd immunity develops. With the dwindling effectiveness of vaccine generated immunity it's looking more likely by the day that corrupt politicians will eventually be force to follow the advice in the GBD. The only question is how much more damage they will be allowed to do, in their cowardly effort to cover up their incompetence. Vaccines still have a role. They should just be administered to the most vulnerable, along with booster shots. Most of us don't need or want them, and the fact that they haven't undergone the usual minimum of 4 years SAFETY TRIALS does nothing to recommend them.
    6
  5730. She epitomizes your typical MP, whose ambition far outstrips their intelligence.
    6
  5731. Was anyone really stupid enough to believe a word Matt Hancock said?
    6
  5732.  @dodgynumber7533  You have said exactly what most sensible people are thinking.
    6
  5733. Isn't it amazing how they have learnt so much so quickly. Maybe Putin is now conscripting science and maths Ph.D.'s. Or, just maybe, these Rostov videos are pure propaganda (showing seasoned soldiers) aimed at calming down an extremely angry populace, who don't like being used as cannon fodder.
    6
  5734. The Orc attrition in Bakhmut is staggering. So as long as this continues it's a massive silver lining to very slowly losing a little ground. You can never kill too many Orcs!
    6
  5735. Why aren't we seeing similar explosions in Moscow or St. Petersburg!!!
    6
  5736. What a terrible waste of time it is learning languages like Welsh, Gaelic and Maori. That time would be far better spent learning something like Spanish, which would allow one to communicate with 100s of millions of people.
    6
  5737. This is what I think happened in the Trump/ Putin phone call. Trump: You know Vlad, I'd really like to get my hands on those Ukrainian rare earth metals. Putin: Donald, buddy, you let me have Ukraine and you can have as much as you like. Trump: So we have a deal, Oh, one more thing. Do you mind if I take Greenland. Putin: That's OK as long as I also get a good part of it. But, you know Don, Europe is going to be p*ssed. Trump: Screw em!
    6
  5738. And try singing "who's that dying on the runway" at a Man U match.
    6
  5739. As long as the coal isn't used as fuel then I would fully support this mine. We still need steel, and we need coal to make it. It's absolutely insane to import something we can provide for ourselves. Not only does it deprive Brits of jobs, it also generates more greenhouse gas because of the fuel burned to get the coal (or steel) here.
    6
  5740. While I have the greatest sympathy for Ukrainians, after hearing Zelensky's previous claim that 10,000 Russian soldiers have been killed I'm a little wary of what he says. He also needs to bear in mind, during his negotiations, that no matter how wrong Russia might be it's ordinary Ukrainians, in their hundreds of thousands that are paying a terrible price for his intransigence and sticking to his principles. The vast majority of people just want to be left to get on with their lives, even if it sometimes means sucking up what we don't particularly want to.
    6
  5741. Want to cut your food bills by over ½ and eat a lot better too? Cook your own meals and bake your own cakes.

  5742. Two equally guilty parties each trying to put all the blame on the other.
    6
  5743. I'm surprised we haven't yet been told that Jesus's death was covid related.
    6
  5744. Christianity is declining because people are now more educated and many realise that it makes as much sense to believe in God as it does to believe in the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.
    6
  5745. A lot of then have to be naive to pay for the great number of courses that are absolutely worthless.
    6
  5746. What kind of idiot gets an E-Scooter or E-Bike rather than an ordinary bicycle? As well as being cheaper, and with zero possibility of burning your house down, using muscle power rather than electricity is very good for your health.
    6
  5747. By brown nosing and always saying exactly what your boss wants to hear.
    6
  5748. Of course, if parents had cared enough about their kids, and had the courage to fight for them, then schools would never have closed in the first place!
    6
  5749. More likely heads in the sand. It seems that everyone except the Tories knows that they are well and truly finished.
    6
  5750. Without access to clean water it would be far more surprising if there wasn't a Cholera outbreak.
    6
  5751. An idiotic comment, by a frightened person. We would be over this now if governments hadn't pandered to those who are frightened of their own shadow, and adopted the strategy recommended in the Great Barrington Declaration.
    6
  5752. ​ @osterlaich6395  Too stupid to google Great Barrington Declaration? And too cowardly not to be scared of something that kills about 1 or 2 in 1000 who are mainly very old and/or very sick?
    6
  5753. Open wide and think of England?
    6
  5754. Because, in the eyes of this government, there is no crime more heinous than challenging their insane lockdowns or desire to vaccinate everybody. So, the police would go full throttle Gestapo on the protestors.
    6
  5755. When it's the world's biggest gravy train for big pharma.
    6
  5756. Finally, an admission that, like lockdowns, the "war on drugs" is a super expensive unmitigated failure!
    6
  5757. Prayers that their cowardly husbands, fathers and brothers find the courage to defend and avenge them!
    6
  5758. Wonderful song. It should be a condition of employment at the BBC that you know Rule Britannia by heart and can sing it in tune.
    6
  5759. Why isn't the media talking about what many other countries do with foreigners that commit crimes: deport them? And you can bet that they don't allow bent lawyers to fatten their wallets and delay the process with appeals. This would free up thousands of prison cells.
    6
  5760. This shows just how out of touch Sunak is with decent, ordinary Brits who respect and value our Jewish community. What that evil policeman said is exactly the kind of the kind of thing you would have heard on the streets of Nazi Germany: something we never expected to hear again. If Rowley had had an ounce of decency he would have sacked that policeman on the spot. He didn't, and therefore he must go: as well as those he is protecting.
    6
  5761. Schools should never have been closed at all! But I don't recall Sunak fighting to keep them open as normal.
    6
  5762. Every decent person in the country thinks Hancock should resign, and if he was a man of integrity he would do so. But Hancock is totally lacking in honesty and integrity, so he will cling on like a leech. It is therefore incumbent on Boris to sack him. But, of course, Boris is equally lacking in honesty and integrity.
    6
  5763. Did Putin send his fanboy his daily banana allowance?
    6
  5764. Sometimes it's really nice to be proved wrong. But, like so many others, I predicted that if Labour got elected then the number of illegal migrants would go through the roof. In 4½ years time will there still be a country worth saving for the next government?
    6
  5765.  @Robert-xy4xi  Putin fanboy.
    6
  5766. But results have already been decided.
    6
  5767. Yet, ask most people and you will find that they are totally unware of the ongoing excess deaths, running at around 10%.
    6
  5768. Maybe, in circumstances like these, we need to have laws enforcing price caps on speculators and greedy oil companies. Few things are more disgusting than companies and people who seek to profit out of the pain and misery of others.
    6
  5769. Decades of these drug laws show that they are totally ineffective in stemming the use of drugs. All they do is create lots of very rich criminals by artificially inflating the cost of these drugs. This in turn fuels a massive amount of crime on the part of addicts desperate to afford their fix, and gangs murdering each other over turf. Without these laws the price of drugs would plummet, and the crime associated with this might disappear. Educating and helping addicts might prove much cheaper than ineffectual attempts to enforce drug laws. In fact, if prices plummeted, it might not even be profitable for many to produce the drugs in the first place.
    6
  5770. That's now an oxymoron.
    6
  5771. What's so galling is that if all the cowardly idiots, who voted Tory or Labour, had voted for the party that they really wanted in the first place then we wouldn't now be in so much of a mess.
    6
  5772. We all know exactly what questions should be being asked and why they aren't. Of course many people really don't want to hear the truth. It's bad enough having to admit that you have been suckered into damaging yourself, let alone damaging your own children. As Mark Twain said: it's much easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled. With each passing day I get happier that I had the intelligence to say NO!
    6
  5773. People can only increase their prices when there are others willing to swallow the increase. Increasing interest rates restricts how much money people have to spend, if they have debt to service, which is most people. So yes it does help control inflation. AND it also protects savings from the spendthrifts whose behaviour fuels inflation and devalues them.
    6
  5774. Seriously? Does anyone now expect Sunak to do anything even remotely worthwhile or significant?
    6
  5775. Grass fed IS good!
    6
  5776. For as long as humanity, and indeed our closest relatives, has existed, the best deterrent has been the fear that others will do unto you as you have done to them.
    6
  5777. And pay his fares to go on the pro-Hamas marches.
    6
  5778. This bloody enquiry should be focusing far more on whether the insanely damaging lockdowns were necessary (they weren't!) than on who disregarded them.
    6
  5779. Definitely not worth it for the Russian people. But do you think Putin cares in the slightest about the Russian people?
    6
  5780. That would be the usual minimum of 4 years SAFETY TESTING that new vaccines usually go through.
    6
  5781. Corruption, that goes right to the top!
    6
  5782. Let's face it. The choice is rather like having to choose between someone who is going to stick lighted splints under your fingernails or another who will apply thumbscrews. Neither is a pleasant choice to contemplate.
    6
  5783. There's even less place for the injustice dispensed by this so-called judge.
    6
  5784. So, first it was an accident and all the sailors were evacuated. Now Ukraine did it and hundreds of sailors also died. The only accident occurred over 60 years ago when the doctor forgot to throw Putin in the same bucket as the afterbirth.
    6
  5785. Standing against the EU is acceptable, but standing with Putin is not.
    6
  5786. Look forward to viewing many more similar reports. I gather these drones are packed with TNT, but there are much more powerful explosives available today. If packed with these instead any ship in such an encounter would stand virtually no chance. In fact, if one of the most powerful explosives was well shaped then there's a good chance that these drones could take out the supports for the Kerch bridge.
    6
  5787.  @dornierdo2172  Ah yes, 60 years ago, like so many kids, I had a golly that I loved. Isn't it amazing what some people get offended at. Along with so many others my uncle really loved the Black and White Minstrel Show. He would have loved to buy recordings of it, but I think that the ultra woke BBC burnt the acetate a long time ago.
    6
  5788. It is a freedom demonstration. Good people fighting for their stolen liberty, against Nazi politicians and their Gestapo police.
    6
  5789. If Biden isn't replaced then the Democrats are giving Trump a slam dunk!
    6
  5790. Drakeford definitely wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box, but that's democracy for you. It allows fools to elect other fools into power.
    6
  5791. Starmer would do well to note that his predecessor, Tony Blair, suggested detaining illegals on a remote Scottish island: even though he was a human rights lawyer. This would certainly provide an excellent deterrent, and encourage those held there, to volunteer to go home.
    6
  5792.  @L00K2008  Occupied Ukrainian territory, Putin fanboy.
    6
  5793. Even at 63 I regard the risk to myself as so small that I'm not going to have any vaccine, just in case there are any long term adverse effects, which we simply haven't had long enough to see manifest themselves. In fact, judging from my symptoms last Christmas day, there's a damn good chance that I've already had covid-19 and am now immune. And the risk, from this virus, to those younger than me is even smaller. But hey, if you trust Blow Job and Hancock then go for it.
    6
  5794. What a useful video. To be honest I wasn't aware that one could go directly to a barrister. Sounds much better to able to talk directly to the organ grinder rather than through the monkey: and to not have to pay for the monkey too.
    6
  5795. Hopefully we will see lots more of this when Ukraine's offensive kicks off. AND depots in Russia enabling hostile action in Ukraine are most certainly legitimate targets. If memory serves me right, Belgorod has a few depots that really need to be hit hard.
    6
  5796. Yes, there are so many scum-bags. For a disease that only kills about 1 in 1000 these selfish cowards want to see businesses, jobs and futures destroyed for the other 999. If only covid-19 would take out all craven snowflakes the world would be a far better place.
    6
  5797. When Putin loving India signs up for something you know to steer well clear of it!
    6
  5798. No matter how often you post Putin isn't going to send you any bananas.
    6
  5799. Hopefully the coffin makers in Russia will also be really busy.
    6
  5800. What the UN conveniently ignores is that missiles are being launched from Rafah against Israeli civilians. Is Israel expected to let this continue, or are the lives of Jews just not important enough for the UN?
    6
  5801. What about a really big bounty, to tempt some nice Sicilian family?
    6
  5802. It's easy to see NATO's concerns. If I were a Ukrainian Pilot who had lost my wife and kids I would very likely seek to end my pain by taking my jet and crashing it into the Kremlin. One has to wonder what the Russian reaction would be if this, or similar, was achieved with a plane supplied by Poland.
    6
  5803. What all of us are asking is whether this counter-offensive is going to fizzle out as the weather turns bad. This is what happened to last year's highly effective offensive, and it allowed Russia to build all those defences that are now causing so much difficulty for Ukrainian forces.
    6
  5804. That would take a government with a spine.
    6
  5805. No, no, no! London already has far too many people and we need to encourage many to move away. Rather than whine, my nephew recently mover to Leicester so that he could afford his own house. People need to learn to cut their cloth according to their means, which includes where they live. And government is guilty of recklessly encouraging people to move to London. A few decades ago tube trains often didn't stop at Holborn because the station was too crowded. But what did the idiot government of the time do? They built a massive Department of Agriculture and Fisheries building directly across the road from the station!
    6
  5806. Am I the only one who thinks that if 23.5 million people don't want to be part of mainland China then their will should be respected?
    6
  5807. There's a very old saying: "he who wants peace must be PREPARED for war". I'm not a great Macron fan, but sending Russians the message that they would never be allowed to take Ukraine was definitely the right thing to do. The German chancellor's rebuttal of Macron's statement will be massively comforting and encouraging for Putin.
    6
  5808. Dude, it's called poetic justice. For years Oz has been a major league climate bad boy. Now it's payback, and we all know what they say about that.
    6
  5809. TTK wants lots more of them, because they are future Labour voters!
    6
  5810. BUT, this can only happen by employers hiring these people illegally, and government, the police, and the courts turning an eye to it!
    6
  5811. I see that you live in the USA. People like you deserve a visit from the Proud Boys.
    6
  5812. Keep up the great work. I really do hope to hear soon that the Kerch Bridge in Crimea has been taken out, and that the supply routes from Belgorod have been destroyed. That will make it much harder for Putin to send in more Orcs.
    6
  5813. You are so right! Instead of just issuing pathetic warnings for weeks, while being attacked again and again, Pakistan acted IMMEDIATELY. The UK and US could learn from this.
    6
  5814. Can anyone imagine a government turning round to their population and telling them that a treatment that they were more or less coerced into having, and giving to their children, and that they were assured was incredibly safe, is actually killing lots of people? Likewise YouTube, and other mainstream media, which supported governments, don't' want the truth to come out.
    6
  5815. With Putin in power it would be like the peaceful solution that Chamberlain concluded with Hitler in 1938.
    6
  5816. If only he wasn't Russia's answer to a Hammer Horror monster then Lavrov's crazed ramblings would make him even funnier.
    6
  5817. Maybe these African countries should have condemned Putin, rather than supporting him, or sitting on the fence. Sorry, but the phrase "poetic justice" springs to mind!
    6
  5818. What we all want to know is does Alina Kabaeva change her incontinent boyfriend's diapers?
    6
  5819. I guess that Truss is doing this because there is a large economy associated with people moving house. So it is indeed possible that it may well bring in more taxes than it loses. Unfortunately it will also be inflationary, and further price young people off the housing ladder.
    6
  5820. Correct. Not being allowed to protest on one or even a few days of the year is hardly trampling on democracy. Legislation should be rushed through on this, with all party support, and MPs who oppose it named and shamed.
    6
  5821. YouTube supprime les commentaires faisant l'éloge du pilote !
    6
  5822. And don't forget the infamous Katyn massacre.
    6
  5823. If so many Gazans hadn't welcomed Hamas into their midst, and turned a blind eye when they embezzled aid money to build their tunnels, then their cities would still be standing!
    6
  5824. Gender equality is something every decent person should wholeheartedly support. There is no place in this world for those who trample on women's rights, whether it be Saudi Arabia, Iran, France, or the UK.
    6
  5825. Boris is hiring Vin Diesel to play "Triple Mutant" next week.
    6
  5826. This Brit strongly supports doing whatever if takes to protect Israel.
    6
  5827. I just said exactly the same.
    6
  5828. Isn't it funny how despite reporting both the users and posts the three spam bot posts at the bottom remain. Yet my post hoping that this is the start of Russia's regions making a bid for freedom from the Russian Federation was removed.
    6
  5829. As others have said, make sure the ferries are kept well offshore, and remove all the lifeboats. But I still think housing them in nissen huts on cold, wet remote Scottish Islands would be much cheaper than hotels, and a really wonderful deterrent.
    6
  5830. Isn't it nice of them to give them back to Russia.
    6
  5831. Millions of dollars worth of backhanders!
    6
  5832. How to lose credibility and destroy people's trust and confidence in you. Join the Conservative or Labour party.
    6
  5833. You think you've got it bad. The UK is stuffed to the gills with civil servants, but the real icing on the cake is most of them are allowed "work from home" which means they do bugger all most of the time.
    6
  5834. Il faut accorder l'autorisation d'utiliser des missiles à longue portée MAINTENANT ! Poutine subit déjà une forte pression, et une pression encore plus forte pourrait le faire etre « remplacer ».
    6
  5835. Lavrov come out with so much unbelievable crap that he could be a really funny man if he didn't look like a monster that has escaped from one of Hammer Horror's movies.
    6
  5836. Which is why this inquiry isn't asking that question, and isn't calling INDEPENDENT experts. Actually one other question urgently heeds to be asked, and definitely won't be. Should most people have been vaccinated?
    6
  5837. For every woke that is horrified by Clarkson's article there are probably 10 of us that would like to give him a pat on the back for it.
    6
  5838. Enjoy being out of that tyrannous and paranoid prison country, Novak. In a few months there will be a proper tennis tournament at Wimbledon, where everybody will give you a hero's welcome and be very happy to see you play.
    6
  5839. As the hostage rescue clearly demonstrates, Hamas has congregated in Rafah and continues to do so. The hostages have also been moved there. What is Israel supposed to do, just let Hamas have a safe haven, hiding behind civilians, in which it can hold on to hostages, regroup, and prepare for further atrocities?
    6
  5840. Looks like that was potty training.
    6
  5841. No he wouldn't. Putin doesn't care about any hardship or death suffered by most Russians.
    6
  5842. Unfortunately, YouTube is removing or hiding most comments that say this!
    6
  5843. Sadly it's not a joke for the women!
    6
  5844.  @Bob-ts2tu  LOL. It's like the Nazis claiming they weren't anti-Semitic.
    6
  5845. Don't even get your hopes up for the sex criminals. Our judges are more concerned about their human rights than those of their victims!
    6
  5846. If we had recorded deaths within 28 days of being vaccinated we would probably have seen far more than deaths with 28 days of a positive PCR test.😉
    6
  5847. Well, "three months behind" is what you get for reelecting the knicker wetter.
    6
  5848. Chris, if you think it's bad in Australia just take a look at what's going on in the UK. Our media doesn't say a single thing that might embarrass or make things difficult for our wide boys in Downing Street. Not a single anti-lockdown or anti vaccination passport demonstration makes it on to prime time news. This holds true regardless of whether it occurs abroad or in the UK, or even if the demonstration was of historic size. Yet much smaller demonstrations on trivial matters get given coverage. And as for natural immunity, research supporting it is completely ignored, whereas highly questionable research that favours vaccination is eagerly reported.
    6
  5849. If you have one of the world's biggest Uranium mines, AND the most stable tectonics, then using nuclear power is a complete no-brainer. But as in the UK the public appear to have a predilection for electing politicians whose IQ falls considerably short of 3 figures.
    6
  5850. Why does this country always make such a big deal about this? Other countries experience far lower temperatures and a lot more snow.
    6
  5851. Maybe I'm being really dumb, but it seems to me that Trump is going to give Putin everything he wants, and Ukraine absolutely nothing.
    6
  5852.  @bloodyhotspur2915  I'm not vaccinated because I've had covid-19. Not being a gullible schmuck, I've read the research and know that I now have excellent natural immunity, which an experimental vaccine will not improve.
    6
  5853.  @phillkny45  Distasteful as these might be, as long as they aren't encouraging violence or discrimination towards others, they have a right to voice their opinion.
    6
  5854. When it comes to dogs like this I think we have a similar situation to what Cynthia Payne said about men who own big cars.
    6
  5855. This alone is good enough reason to keep giving Ukraine lots of support.
    6
  5856. This is indeed very disturbing. Kids should definitely not be feeling this way, and in fact it can be detrimental to brain development. If our society wasn't so incredibly selfish and cowardly then we would not have touched our young people's education. The risk posed to them by covid-19 was NEGLIGIBLE, and it was miniscule for most of those teaching them.
    6
  5857. Is there really any excuse for this kind of explosion in this day and age? Surely there are portable sensors that can monitor the concentration of methane, so that mining can be suspended until the gas has cleared. Or is it that miners lives are simply not valued that highly.
    6
  5858. Alternatively many of us would eat less meat if producers didn't try to rob us blind on veggie products. A few days ago I was locking at the price of "No Bull" Cornish Pasties. I was absolutely gob smacked. For considerably less I could have bought prime steak, and other top notch ingredients and made twice as many. Likewise, I can make better and cheaper veggie burgers and veggie sausages. People will eat less meat when manufacturers and shops stop taking them for mugs and ripping them off on veggie products!
    6
  5859. While I do not in the least condone any of what Zakhar did, like so many prison sentences, this one calls into question what the purpose of prison is, and the sanity of judges who impose such sentences. A very large fine, a driving ban, and community service would have been a much more appropriate sentence. What is the purpose of Prison? Is it to act as a deterrent, or to protect the public? You see, I consider burglaries and assaults vastly more damaging than what this man has done. Years ago, while skating at an ice rink, a friend of mine had her nose broken by a yob. All the yob got was a paltry fine. I consider this far more worthy of jail time.
    6
  5860. Since when did Putin care about the happiness of Chicken Tacos?
    6
  5861. Ideally they should announce their intent to join NATO before 9th May as this will cause Putin intense and very public embarrassment, which will further increase his chances of being "removed".
    6
  5862. Les passeurs de gens ne trouveront aucun moyen si on utilise le MI6 pour les éliminer.
    6
  5863. Rowley needs to suck it up, and clean it up! He sounds like the whining criminals, that police used to arrest once upon a time, who always claimed they "didn't do nothing wrong, your honour".
    6
  5864. Incroyable ! YouTube a supprimé ce commentaire en anglais : Dans la plupart des cas, il n'y a même pas eu la moindre tentative de justice. Pour l'amour du ciel ! Dans certains cas, il s'agit de viols de petites filles qui n'avaient que 12 ans. Outre les auteurs, ceux qui ont fermé les yeux sur ces crimes odieux doivent également être sévèrement punis.
    6
  5865. The Philippines is also suffering from such acts. Unless there is a very robust response to them they will continue to increase both in number and their level of aggression. Kneeling down before a bully is not how you stop him!
    6
  5866. Would they be Putin rent boys like you?
    6
  5867. Under PR Labour would not have had an absolute majority. Unfortunately in 2011 a lot of incredibly dim-witted people voted to keep FPTP.
    6
  5868. Just wait for the announcement that most people shouldn't have been vaccinated!
    6
  5869. Looks like ABC got its priorities right.
    6
  5870. No one has said whether or not the gas originally comes from Russia: a very important detail.
    6
  5871. After the rush to use very new Covid vaccines, for an illness that had an IFR of just 0.3%, it's very hard to understand the often very lengthy delays in approving other treatments for diseases that often have fatality rates that are more than 100% higher.
    6
  5872. No big deal. Even if mortgage rates double they will still be at levels that most of my generation could only dream of!
    6
  5873. Hang on, wasn't something like this done in 1930s Germany? Maybe once again "good Germans' will support such measures. And you know what? There's this nice camp in Southern Poland we could reopen, to ship all those dirty unvaccinated off too. Just like the 1930s. All in the name of public health.
    6
  5874. Maybe 3 day and 3 year sound very similar in Russian.
    6
  5875. If the British voter has the guts to vote for a party they actually want, rather than voting for which of the Conservative of Labour parties they hate and fear the least, then Reform UK will win one hell of a lot of seats. Sadly, I fear that we are now a nation of abject cowards. Well, not actually me, because I will definitely be voting Reform UK.
    6
  5876. A nomination for the Nobel peace prize is in order.
    6
  5877. "didn't have a clear idea about how to stabilise Afghanistan" Well, a really good start would have been to admit that deradicalisation doesn't work. So exterminating every Taliban they could get their hands on, and their supporters, would have been a really good start. Of course, this should have included wiping out those just over the border in Pakistan. When trying to cure a cancer you cut out as much of it as you possibly can.
    6
  5878. ​ @marvinherrera4579  Didn't say it was. Just that the civil servants in our embassy should do their bloody job, instead of running away.
    6
  5879. Do you mean by the illegals or the Labour Party?
    6
  5880. There are quite a few other examples of devices that appear to be one or two thousand years ahead of their time. A simple example from ancient Rome was a ball that used steam to spin. Imagine where we would be today if all this had been assiduously followed up and built on. Imagine also what we might be losing today by not pursuing certain discoveries tenaciously enough.
    6
  5881. Perhaps a drive to Barnard Castle would sort any eye problems out.
    6
  5882. Don't worry. Putin will make it up to you by giving you free base jumping lessons from a window of your choice.
    6
  5883. So true. And neither do honesty, decency and fairness matter one iota to any of our high street banks.
    6
  5884. 1. They are not unstoppable. 2. Putin hasn't got that many. 3. Russia would get back the same, with heavy interest.
    6
  5885. Yes. It's obvious what response you will get if you interview a mask wanker.
    6
  5886. Is this man worth YouTube removing, or hiding, so many of the comments that criticise him. 1. First comment in English, 18 hours ago, instantly removed. 2. Second comment then posted in French hidden. The comment didn't use offensive language or say anything outrageous.
    6
  5887. Why is Moscow allowed to do this with impunity? I'm not suggesting killing civilians, but surely some skyscrapers in the business centre, and crucial railway signaling and points, could be taken out at night (maybe even an important bridge) with no loss of civilian life. How hard can it be when one considers what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower with far less resources?
    6
  5888. ​ @Pendragon1122  That's often due to our "health and safety laws". Try persuading some supermarket jobsworth to let you take away something just past it's sell by date, rather than put it in the bin.
    6
  5889. Although I have usually voted Tory (party that will do the least damage principle) I did vote for Corbyn a few years back. However I would never vote for a ponce like Starmer.
    6
  5890. And remember folks, no soixante-neuf, because you both need to take your masks off to do it.🤣
    6
  5891. The irony is that Gorbachev was a very capable KGB officer, yet all his good work is being undone by someone who was a third-rate KGB officer.
    6
  5892. Great Putin fanboy.
    6
  5893. Those who can do something about this have enough money to go private and get a world class service very quickly. So don't hold your breath for change.
    6
  5894. Random searches, with a mandatory jail sentence for those carrying a knife would be a deterrent, but don't hold your breath on our spineless government doing this.
    6
  5895. Very glad to hear Ukraine is going for the support columns of the Kerch bridge. Destroying even one of these could put it out of commission for good.
    6
  5896. If most people had had the intelligence and courage to vote for who they really wanted, rather than the Tories or Labour, we would have had a very different government.
    6
  5897. All those Russians who have lived abroad, and know the truth, must be really worried that they might disappear, to stop them telling others privately what the West is really like. I do worry about some of those wonderful Russian kids I used to teach some years ago, in international schools in Berlin and Milan.
    6
  5898. Il faut supprimer ces lignes de chemin de fer : et très vite !
    6
  5899. It's truly SHAMEFUL that these countries aren't full NATO members by now. If Turkey is blocking this then Turkey should be kicked out of NATO!
    6
  5900. NO further restrictions should have been imposed! This variant has already been in the UK for a while, but was never noticed because it is so innocuous. South African doctors, with the most experience dealing with it, have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. A much more fitting name for it would be the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    6
  5901. It's far better than giving the Orcs time to catch their breath, regroup, and resupply. Well that's unless you're a Putin fanboy.
    6
  5902. Well before TTK's election I said that the ONLY thing that mattered to him was getting his foot into No.10. I'm sure many others realised this too.
    6
  5903. What's about to collapse is Putin's sphincter. Oh, I forgot, it already has.
    6
  5904. Lunatics running the asylum comes to mind, except that even lunatics wouldn't be this mad.
    6
  5905. Most of us would willingly forgo covid-19 treatment in exchange for no restrictions and no vaccine mandates!
    6
  5906. NATO needs to introduce some form of provisional membership so that countries like Finland can obtain almost immediate protection.
    6
  5907. If Afghani "men" had shown the same courage that Ukrainian men have shown, in defending their women and children, then the Taliban wouldn't be a problem!
    6
  5908. One of Putin's incontinence episodes?
    6
  5909. Spare a thought for the OAPs who Sunak has cheated out of their "triple lock". The UK state pension is one of the meanest in the developed world, and now our OAPs are going to see their pension rise by less than inflation. And that's not even taking account of how the increased energy bills are going to crucify elderly people, who need to keep warm.
    6
  5910. Only if he's in a glass coffin: and they can find all the pieces.
    6
  5911. What most of these "no more oil" nut jobs don't understand is how crucial oil also is for most of the chemical industry. Where do they think so many materials they take for granted come from?
    6
  5912. I'm certainly no Starmer fanboy, but no sane person could be proud of this government's record.
    6
  5913. Yeah, and "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" was just a children's lullaby.
    6
  5914. Probably coming home from a rave in some nightclub.
    6
  5915. ​ @GWills-ys6rd  Certifying doesn't mean all the bugs have been found. All it means is that a prescribed testing scheme is claimed to have been carried out: which may or may not be the case. People carry out testing, and they can lie and/or be lazy.
    6
  5916.  @stanandollie7041  Are you a Putin rent boy?
    6
  5917. Sounds a bit like YouTube, who have hidden my comment of 2 hours ago, saying that his replacement would be as bad.
    6
  5918. Let's be honest, many men leave toilets in such a filthy state that just looking at them can give you nightmares. To the best of my knowledge women are much less likely to do this. So why should they have to put up with something so disgusting?
    6
  5919. Donnons à Poutine un 9 mai dont il se souviendra vraiment !
    6
  5920. Choose your poison!
    6
  5921. The majority of UK voters don't want either the Tories or Labour. It's like having to choose between having your fingernails or toenails pulled out. I'll be voting Reform UK, and neighbours have said they will too. Let's hope enough Brits have the intelligence (not that much is required) to choose something different.
    6
  5922. What's right with our country would produce a much shorter list!
    6
  5923. Time for the Orcs to run away across what's left of the Kerch bridge before it's taken out completely.
    6
  5924. Like the only 0.1% of MPs that have brains, or integrity.
    6
  5925. With countless of millions of Indians living in mud huts with no power, running water, or sanitation, am I the only one who thinks this money could have been much better spent? India likes to call itself the world's largest democracy, but the truth is that this democracy exists only for the rich and the powerful. India government is one of the most corrupt and self-serving in the world!
    6
  5926. If this ambassador was a bit older he would remember that Lebanon enjoyed both peace and prosperity when it was a Christian country that didn't provide safe haven for fundamentalist terrorists. I'm old enough to remember a friend telling me how she enjoyed the glitzy seaside in Beirut.
    6
  5927. It's sad that the paranoid, cowardly, snowflakes aren't especially susceptible to covid-19. The world could really do without them.
    6
  5928. No DECENT person wants Boris. The only concerns DECENT people have about replacing him is that they will get someone even more dishonest.
    6
  5929. And you are deluded enough to think Labour would be any better?
    6
  5930. Warning Israel. I guess Naim has been taking a crash course from Putin.
    6
  5931. Most in the UK agree with you!
    6
  5932. Pas du tout terrible, mais vraiment plutôt beau.
    6
  5933. Mercy, I now privately tutor A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. One thing I've noticed very strongly over the years is that most of my students are black, Indian, Chinese, or others whose parents were not UK born. I see relatively few multigeneration English kids. Since most dyed-in-the-wool English really don't seem to care about education or work hard at it, I'm always a bit surprised to hear that white kids are at an advantage. Of course there's always the possibility that Enfield and surrounds has more than its share of really lazy white kids.
    6
  5934. I think there are an awful lot of us that know what we would like to see happen to those NGO boats!
    6
  5935. Unfortunately the SAS couldn't give most Afghan men a backbone. As the recent pictures of those fleeing clearly show, a lot are fit men. They should be making a stand to fight for their freedom and their loved ones.
    6
  5936. Why would most people feel patriotic about a country that the vast majority feel doesn't give a toss about them? Even though I have a fairly comfortable life I am in absolutely no doubt that this country is run exclusively for the benefit of the rich and the powerful. If the rest of us are thrown a few crumbs then it is purely out of the bothersome and inconvenient necessity of keeping the plebs from getting too agitated.
    6
  5937. Probably hay fever.
    6
  5938. Tell that to all those who have seen their businesses go bankrupt, lost their jobs, and had their futures destroyed. This is vastly more than the few old codgers who, after a good long life, have died. Covid restricitions are a cure that is far worse than the disease!
    6
  5939. Nowhere near as hilarious as the comments by Putin fanboys.
    6
  5940. It's individual people that benefit from council services, not houses. So Margaret Thatcher's poll tax would have been a much fairer scheme. Unfortunately, and uncharacteristically, she caved in to far-left rioters. There are little old ladies freezing alone in their home while a whole family opposite them is enjoying luxury holidays, nights out, and flash cars, while paying the same council tax.
    6
  5941. Free Palestine from Hamas!
    6
  5942. Woke Welby couldn't keep his trap shut on so many things, but it seems that this virtue signaling prelate was indifferent to the ghastly abuse suffered by so many young boys. They were forced to turn the other cheek while Welby turned a blind eye.
    6
  5943. And time for them to choose a new leader, unless they want more of the same.
    6
  5944. Par for the course for Russia: schools, nurseries, maternity hospitals.
    6
  5945. A story you definitely won't see on the BBC. "Purity politics", Inaya? We all know where we heard that before!
    6
  5946. What the hell is wrong with our courts and judges! Lucy Connolly gets 31 months for a few hurty words that she didn't mean, but a hardcore drug dealer only gets 24 months.
    6
  5947. Would those positions be train carriages full of civilians?
    6
  5948.  @MJ-vy2uq  Sadly, like in Hitler's 1930s Germany, people won't wake up until it's too late.
    6
  5949. Not can't, won't!
    6
  5950. YouTube, qui est antisémite a supprimé le commentaire suivant qui était en anglais : C'est comme enlever partiellement une tumeur maligne. La question n'est jamais de savoir quand elle reviendra et vous fera très mal, mais quand !
    6
  5951. Maybe I'm being a keyboard warrior, but I do wonder if I could resist taking the law into my own hands if I saw a child being treated like this.
    6
  5952. Is there anyone, of sound mind, who didn't expect Labour to open the floodgates?
    6
  5953. It's not at all unknown for Russia to produce cardboard cutouts.
    6
  5954. Quiet! You are going to make the Putin fanboys cry.
    6
  5955. The previous excellent reputation of Imperial College is being dragged through the mud by all the Dr. Deaths it employs.
    6
  5956. Welcome to diversity embracing UK.
    6
  5957.  @fozbeeMusic  I'm in absolutely no doubt that this is exactly how the BBC works, selecting only those interviewees who say things that will please their Downing Street masters.
    6
  5958. Nobody accidentally carries a knife. If our pathetic government was serious about reducing knife crime then custodial sentences would be MANDITORY and LONG. It really is that simple.
    6
  5959. Yes, young people who don't need vaccination should be jabbed to reduce the risk to this OBESE woman.
    6
  5960. Most of us don't believe Russia's explanation, which sounds exactly like the one they gave when Ukraine sank their flagship. Kyiv should be very proud to own this, and most of the world would cheer them on for it. The only sad bit is that only one Orc was killed. Then again, Russia wouldn't tell us if a whole platoon got roasted.
    6
  5961. If Ukraine was able to hit airbases deep inside Russia then it's way past time to hit Moscow's power, water and metro systems. Getting a good taste of their own medicine is the best way to discourage such attacks!
    6
  5962. There is one thing Boris believes in fervently. Keeping himself in power, by saying whatever it takes, regardless of its truth.
    6
  5963. No, but not wholeheartedly condemning Hamas and Hezbollah does!
    6
  5964. The reason Starmer and his cronies have been jumping up and down, like toddlers in a tantrum, demanding an early general election, is they know that in 2 years time people will have come to their senses, and would then sooner vote for the Raving Monster Looney Party.
    6
  5965. So let me get this right. Biden pulls out troops from Afghanistan, allowing mad dogs to take over the country and precipitate a humanitarian crisis. But now he's willing to send troops into Europe.
    6
  5966. Is UK media trying to whip up an unnecessary panic?
    6
  5967. The best defence against these is to stop them being launched in the first place!
    6
  5968. Like most cowardly bullies, Putin expected much smaller Ukraine to just role over. But sometimes the little guy fights back with all he has got, and others come to his aid. Sadly, like most bullies, Putin isn't playing with a full pack, and he will do absolutely anything, including sacrificing the Russia people, to try and not lose face. It's surprising that none of those close enough to get to him can't see this.
    6
  5969. Oh, that would be the building that they painted the sign on saying "western weapons stored here".🤣🤣🤣
    6
  5970. Am I the only one thinking that as the world needs far less people this might be more a case of half full than half empty?
    6
  5971. This will remind many of the pact between Stalin and Hitler. Shortly after Poland was invaded. So we need to keep a watchful eye on Taiwan.
    6
  5972. He should blast himself for allowing criminals not to appear in court! We don't give people the choice of whether they want to be arrested, or whether they want to go to prison. So why do they get to choose whether they attend court?
    6
  5973. Nice to see Britain really doing its part. Just like it did when Hitler invaded Poland.
    6
  5974. You know what country is having a really easy time? Sweden. They never had a lockdown, and there's been no coercive vaccination. Yet, unlike most European countries they aren't even in the top 50 for deaths per million, and they also have a very low infection rate. Funny, that.
    6
  5975. We need to organise hot air balloon trips over the channel, where the passengers are provided with high velocity air rifles to shoot holes in the dinghies. I guarantee these trips would be very profitable, and an excellent deterrent.
    6
  5976. This will be evident to anyone walking down most UK high streets. From my time living in New Zealand, Germany and Italy I'd have to say that Britain easily wins the prize for the highest percentage of fatties. I'm sure others could add lots of countries to my list. Of course, normalising being fat on our woke TV channels doesn't exactly encourage a healthy lifestyle.
    6
  5977. Most of the public lost patience with this ages ago. That crazy vicar who was making Christmas carols PC probably changed "Come all ye Faithful" to "Come all ye Dinghy Boys".
    6
  5978. Yep. These days, to get arrested, you need to be taking part in a lawful vigil for someone who one of the police's own have raped and murdered.
    6
  5979. "A parade of the powerful" Also a parade of liars and cheats. Any of us with the slightest intelligence know that if Cummings, Johnson and Hancock were made of wood their noses would mean that the only building they could fit in is Wembley Stadium.
    6
  5980. Why go as far as Ascension Island when there are plenty of Scottish ones a lot nearer?
    6
  5981. Like so many lawyers, the only thing Starmer is any good at is misleading people and dissembling.
    6
  5982. In Russia's historical myths Putin would have been the court jester, if he was lucky.
    6
  5983. The Druids left no written record of their beliefs and practices. So although some people might call themselves Druids none have existed for over 1000 years.
    6
  5984. This is the price of bed wetting snowflakes supporting lockdowns and restrictions for a virus that didn't pose a serious threat to 99% of the population!
    6
  5985. What all these bloody lawyers conveniently forget is that there's a whole world of difference between sitting back comfortably and weighing up the odds at your leisure, and having to make a snap decision where even a few seconds hesitation might cost you your life.
    6
  5986. Pay people 1000 Euro bounty per boat slashed and not one will leave French shores. And there will still be lots of money left from what France has been paid by Britain.
    6
  5987. She's pretty. NOT wearing the headscarf really suits her.
    6
  5988. The key to stopping shoplifting is punishing them properly. One has to ask oneself what the hell is wrong with our society when MSM films these criminals caught in the act, and yet blanks out their faces instead of zooming in so that everybody can get a really good look at them.
    6
  5989. And what are Boris's vows worth? Need I say more.
    6
  5990. Meanwhile, in the UK, we let governments increase the pension age without so much as a whimper.
    6
  5991. Nicola the knicker wetter strikes again. It's hard to believe that lots of Scots want this scaredy cat as their supreme leader.
    6
  5992. Well, if you don't want to drown in the channel then don't try to enter the UK illegally!
    6
  5993. Absolutely right.
    6
  5994. What kind of very sick, perverted person thinks making up such stories for kids is OK?
    6
  5995. The result of people no longer fearing facing severe sentencing!
    6
  5996. The animals are the vindictive despots that are hounding Novak. I've just read a post out of Australia claiming that he has been arrested again, and that peeper spray has been used to disperse his supporters.
    6
  5997. Years ago there was an expression that's now considered non PC: "You Lying Arab".
    6
  5998. Into making PC correct Dr. WHO episodes. I'm seriously expecting the next incarnation to be a black Frankenfurter character, won't that be an absolute pleasure.
    6
  5999. Now lets get Ukraine those tanks it needs.
    6
  6000. Sadly, the prospect of unrealistic technological solutions is used to avoid doing things that actually work, like using nuclear power, and more people using public transport instead of owning a car.
    6
  6001. Let's be honest. Most people in the UK believe that we need some changes and sacrifices to combat climate change. BUT they believe that OTHER people should make them!
    6
  6002. I'd make sure all the food available had some pork in it.
    6
  6003. There's 13 miles to protect, so hopefully an attach will soon be successful. I'd use divers with rebreather equipment to bring a massive explosive load in underwater, where the operation can't be seen.
    6
  6004. They know they shouldn't be in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians have a very well established surrender hotline for them, so they deserve not an ounce of mercy or pity.
    6
  6005. The vast majority of the British people are in complete agreement with Tice!
    6
  6006. The fair solution, is very simple. You pay someone more to work in an unpleasant area. This goes not only for GPs, but for teachers too. Why should someone doing much more pleasant and easier job, in a leafy rich area, be paid the same as someone who is busting their gut in a much less salubrious environment? This would be true levelling up, but don't hold your breath.
    6
  6007. Keep on dreaming, Putin rent boy.
    6
  6008. Actually, because radioactive decay happens constantly, the warheads themselves require a lot of monitoring and maintenance. It's very unlikely that in a seriously corrupt country like Russia this has been carried out over the last few decades. So even if they get the missiles to work many of the warheads won't.
    6
  6009. In barely a month I'll be 65, but not being a bed-wetter I never bothered with masks or these poorly tested vaccines.
    6
  6010. This pause is a massive mistake that Hamas will take great advantage of, and that Israel will deeply regret. An equally massive mistake was not insisting on ALL hostages being released in one go, because this will increase pressure from the remaining families to repeat this again and again. As every government knows, by negotiating over hostages one ultimately puts all of ones citizens at risk. The hardhearted approach of not negotiating at all is actually the kindest thing to do in the longer term.
    6
  6011. Economic inequality sounds almost like a euphemism when applied to Italy. I remember my shock on moving from Berlin to Milan. Not only do most Italians earn less than Germans, the price of their food is much more expensive!
    6
  6012. ​ @ScottishRoss27  The poor Republic of Ireland has always looked after its old people far better than the UK. About 35 years ago I lived there for a while. OAPs got free travel throughout the country. They also got a heating allowance and didn't have to pay a TV license. People don't like to be told that despite being one of the world's richest countries, the UK is one of the meanest in how it treats its old people.
    6
  6013. It needs to be made very clear to Russia that if nuclear weapons, thermobaric weapons, or chemical weapons are used in Ukraine, then Ukraine will be given the same kind of weapons to strike back with!
    6
  6014. ALL Ferguson's way OTT predictions of doom have proved to be way off the mark, so why is media giving this abject failure air time? Imperial College really should sack this man, because he is seriously tarnishing the reputation of what is otherwise an excellent college. Would any conscientious prospective student really welcome the prospect of having someone like him as a lecturer?
    6
  6015. As other commentators have pointed out, apart from the stuff that really harms businesses and costs people their jobs (a lot of which would have made very little difference to hospitalisations and deaths) most sensible people have been totally ignoring lockdown wherever they could. When schools were closed most kids were still meeting up with their friends. Most people have still been visiting friends. As has been jokingly said "another day, another bubble". Only the anal retentive and the cowardly snowflakes have been "following the rules".
    6
  6016.  @thebalticpower2301  Yes. Both deaths and the financial cost were far lower for the Soviet Union's Afghanistan campaign.
    6
  6017. With Erdogan, Putin's buddy, still ruling Turkey, Finland and Sweden are long term perspectives too. Hopefully the Turks will kick him out after his appalling handling of the earthquake disaster: that's if he doesn't cancel the May elections.
    6
  6018. If you don't like Labour then vote for a third party. But what honest decent person votes for the Sultans of Sleaze.
    6
  6019. I won't hold my breath waiting for a "declaration of conscience" that lawyers won't defend known rapists, murderers and drug barons.🤣
    6
  6020. Si vis pacem, para bellum - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus
    6
  6021. "I am not a Putin rent boy" repeat
    6
  6022. Right from the start of this Chicken Little panic a great many very clever scientists have been saying that lockdowns are a cure far worse than the disease. But shit-for-brains politicians ignored them.
    6
  6023. This is going to look like really small potatoes when the truth about the harm done by mRNA vaccines finally emerges. Let's hope it takes a lot less than 50 years to come out.
    6
  6024. This Putin fanboy used to post the same rubbish under the alias of Namur.
    6
  6025. While these are very sad cases they represent a tiny fraction of a percent. It's completely wrong to make the world revolve around them. We can't turn the lives of more than 99.99% upside down for the very few, or force them to get vaccines that most of them definitely do not need.
    6
  6026. Reform UK is now STRONGER! By getting upset over the burqa challenge Zia Yusuf clearly demonstrated that he doesn't belong in any respectable party. To quote an old adage: Good riddance to bad rubbish!
    6
  6027. Not having proportional representation effectively disenfranchises a large proportion of the population. In fact a mathematician can easily demonstrate that with our current system it's possible for the party with a significant majority of overall votes to not be the one taking the reigns of power. Actually it's far worse than this. Because if people didn't have the concept of a "wasted vote" many of them would vote differently. No wonder the two main parties don't want to change the system!
    6
  6028. Gaza was effectively autonomous, which was what allowed Hamas to flourish. A Palestinian state would be like Gaza on steroids, and the consequences for innocent Israelis would be unimaginably grim.
    6
  6029. Great shot! More of the same please.
    6
  6030. Just one of many bad behaviours that insane, and unnecessary lockdowns have exacerbated. To this can be added more drug taking, more binge eating, more domestic violence, and much much more.
    6
  6031. For those dealing with riot police, for mobility reasons it is almost impossible to protect the upper groin region between the legs, at the top. There are some big arteries there, so a knife thrust to this region stands a very good chance of making a kill.
    6
  6032. Assuming there is no deal, I trust that on 1st January we will see no EU fishing boats stealing our fish, and that this will be enforced with an iron fist. Personally, I'd immediately sink any vessel caught fishing illegally in UK waters.
    6
  6033. I hope this comedian is being prosecuted for a hate crime. If he had waved an Israeli flag and abused a Muslim you be be 100% certain that the police would have arrested him very quickly.
    6
  6034. Ukraine needs the means to take these out ASAP!
    6
  6035. I'll never understand the British public's obsession with Diana. They don't want to hear that behind the carefully nurtured public image was a neurotic, moody woman, who wasn't particularly bright. And people are even less happy to be reminded that if there had been no interference then Charles and Camilla would have married years before he ever met Diana, and we would have seen a real fairytale marriage lasting many decades.
    6
  6036. One of Putin's rent boys is starting to cry.
    6
  6037. We do need an open debate, but every time someone suggests investigating a link to mRNA vaccines YouTube very quickly pulls the post or bans the channel.
    6
  6038. We can trust Starmer as much as we can trust Sunak: NOT AT ALL!
    6
  6039. Actually, it's children who are afraid of the bogey man. What's irritating is adults, behaving like frightened kids over something that the good doctor himself has shown to have an IFR that's no worse than that of flu in a bad year. News flash. Flu kills a lot of old and vulnerable people in a bad year. If you want to cower in fear then by all means do so, but don't expect those with a reasonable level of intelligence to be taken in by the government's propaganda.
    6
  6040. There ARE lot's of savings to be made and here are a few examples: 1. There are definitely over a million people claiming unemployment benefit: probably closer to twice that number. Not funding these parasites would bring in a lot. 2. The NHS has around 3 times as many managers and admin staff than it actually needs. Get rid of 2/3rds. 3. Unless things have changed drastically from my time in the Home Office, there is vast scope for efficiency improvements throughout the civil service. 4. Rather than luxury hotels, that most of us can't afford, illegal migrants could be detained in much cheaper accommodation that would also act as a strong deterrent. I'm sure that others can add to this list.
    6
  6041. ULEZ can't be a disaster, because it hasn't happened yet. And it won't be a disaster because the vast majority of people in the area affected can and SHOULD use public transport, cycle or walk. Most would be financially better off without a car, which is an unnecessary luxury for so many. Tradesmen, a small minority, who do need to drive can easily get their £12.50 back by charging their customers a very small amount more, that most will barely notice.
    6
  6042. His fellow tennis players ought to have the courage and decency to support him by boycotting this Open.
    6
  6043. What makes people think that most of these hostages are still alive?
    6
  6044. Hopefully brave Ukrainian helicopter pilots will take out a few more fuel depots IN Russia.
    6
  6045. For the sake of Ukraine, and maybe other nations too, we need to speed up that collapse. Russia has thousands of miles of gas and oil pipelines that it can't possibly defend all of. As much as possible of these really do need to be taken out as quickly as possible. Also, as has been done to Ukraine, any electricity and water infrastructure that can be taken out would also help a lot.
    6
  6046. Let's put the bear out of its misery.
    6
  6047. Well if it's a shadow fleet then no one will notice or care if it's sunk!
    6
  6048. That's because most of the Russian videos are produced on some film set in Russia, where no animals or people are hurt during their production. However, you will see videos of the damage Russia has inflicted on schools, children's playgrounds, and maternity hospitals.
    6
  6049. Hopefully both of these guns were being manned by a few Orcs.
    6
  6050. What's wrong is that, since MPs are responsible for the quality of state education and health care, they and their immediate families should be forced to use it, and thus experience what they are responsible for.
    6
  6051. None of these Covid "inquiries" are asking the following questions: 1. Were lockdowns necessary or effective? 2. Was the safety of Covid vaccines properly evaluated? 3. Is there a link between ongoing excess deaths and Covid vaccines? I wonder why that is?
    6
  6052. Does God hear prayers for Orcs?
    6
  6053. They are also very good at bombing fields and trees.
    6
  6054.  @elingrome5853  Actually, in most cases it does what it says on the label. But the government wants to keep people very frightened. Frightened people are obedient people!
    6
  6055. As the pressure on both the NHS and social services show, we are way past capacity!
    6
  6056. What a contrast, between these quite doctors, and Trump and Vance behaving like baying wild dogs.
    6
  6057. I don't think Churchill was either particularly bright or particularly nice. But, unlike Sunak, he wasn't a complete and utter wimp.
    6
  6058. I LMAO when I look at the prices of so many ready meals. I can cook far better at a much lower price. The same goes for baking cakes. So why don't people do themselves a massive favour and cook?
    6
  6059. This is to be applauded, but why haven't many more such depots already been blown up? Many are relatively soft targets. And what about the thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines that can't all be defended. These are almost begging to be blown up, and should have been a long time ago.
    6
  6060. Unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn't deliberately target civilians.
    6
  6061. Headteachers don't just harass NQTs. But if every headteacher that harassed those under him was jailed prison overcrowding would be a lot worse.
    6
  6062. It was a special operation to de-Nazify the coffee.
    6
  6063. "goody bags" Yvonne Ridley needs to get a goodie bag with a specially modified pager in it!
    6
  6064. That comment could have come straight out of a black comedy movie: pun intended. "Kniving someone doesn't make you a bad person" Yeah, right.
    6
  6065. I think Gen. Clark is spot on. If Ukraine falls Putin will definitely go after other Baltic countries and China will go after Taiwan. If Ukraine doesn't fall fairly soon, and sanctions are kept up or even tightened, there's a good chance that Putin will be removed from power, one way or another.
    6
  6066. This seems to have escaped the sheep.
    6
  6067. Katharine Birbalsingh runs an excellent school, but to be brutally honest most Academy and Local Authority schools are not well run. The two darlings of almost all secondary schools are Cheap First and Tools Direct. These allow schools to put unqualified "teachers" in front of a class at well below the cost of even a newly qualified teacher. In fact, in the majority schools the most experienced teachers, who are at the top of the pay scale don't even get a look in. Sometimes those already there are even forced out on trumped up "capability" charges, to make way for someone a lot cheaper.
    6
  6068. Nothing like a good pig roast to celebrate Victory Day.
    6
  6069. Imagine how quickly police would be on the scene, and how many arrests would be made, if there were people outside a mosque threatening to those entering or leaving it.
    6
  6070. Any sensible government will scrap it for a much cheaper and more effective alternative. Years ago Tony Blair suggested using remote, bleak Scottish islands to house illegals. This would be vastly cheaper, not open to court challenges, and it would also be a real deterrent.
    6
  6071. MOST Brits in this country totally agree with this!
    6
  6072. Dead Orcs, no matter where, is always very welcome news. Hopefully the infestation on Snake Island will be cleared before too long.
    6
  6073. Feed a monkey bananas it it will follow you, without any regard of what you might do to it in the future.
    6
  6074. Just look what the kind of people that Sunak is letting into the UK have done to Sweden. I could cry when I think of the wonderful safe Sweden I visited 40 years ago, that's now been destroyed.
    6
  6075. What a great way to start a Monday morning. I hope plenty of Orcs were in the trucks.
    6
  6076. Doing my grocery shopping in Enfield Town, in the past week or so, it doesn't look at all like a crisis. The shops are absolutely heaving, and the roads are well and truly jam-packed. And Enfield isn't a rich borough!
    6
  6077. On the plus side it will save the cost of a trial, and keeping the perp in prison.
    6
  6078. One has to wonder whether these hundreds of earthquakes are a prelude to the kind of volcanic eruption that wiped out the Minoan civilisation.
    6
  6079. Now watch the rabid Taliban animals overrun the country and reduce women's rights to less than that of their livestock.
    6
  6080. "Tories would set themselves up for CATASTROPHIC failure" The Tories HAVE suffered catastrophic failure!
    6
  6081. Those of us who weren't bed-wetters said time and time again that this was what totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions were going to do. Told you so!
    6
  6082. I wonder just how much Kaolin and Morphine he had to take to last two hours, and if his diaper was leak proof.
    6
  6083. Yep, another Russian MoD video where only a few earth worms get wasted.
    6
  6084. Why pay $300 dollars when a lot will do it just for a sausage.
    6
  6085. Isn't it funny how what we are hearing from Scumbag Starmer and Labour is almost word for word what we previously heard from Boris and his cronies?
    6
  6086. Actually, TTK has absolutely no intention of stopping the boats: they represent future Labour voters.
    6
  6087. While this is horrible for Kyiv residents, it is a measure of just how desperate Putin is to try and stop the impending Ukraine offensive. Of course, like the Blitz on London, murdering civilians will only strengthen Ukraine's resolve to defeat this rabid dog.
    6
  6088. Looks like there's a pipeline that really needs blowing up!
    6
  6089. And we've just been told that the strikes weren't designed to wipe out Houthi military capability, in which case they were a complete waste of time and resources, and it's little wonder that attacks on shipping continue.
    6
  6090. If people like me had enjoyed rates 2 or 3 times this, when we had mortgages we would have been deliriously happy.
    6
  6091. The babbling gets more pathetic by the day. First we have Ukraine about to make a dirty bomb, and now the Royal Navy is blowing up gas pipelines that weren't even being used. Coming next week: the RAF is going to be blamed for the flattening of the Tunguska forest.
    6
  6092. You are so right. It is unbelievable.
    6
  6093. That's why Orcs prefer the dark.
    6
  6094. There is no question that Sunak's government displayed incomprehensible levels of incompetence. BUT, hard as it is to believe, Starmer has delivered an even higher level of incompetence, with tyranny thrown in for good measure.
    6
  6095. Didn't we just see a silo based missile blow very spectacularly up on launch.
    6
  6096. House price rises are NEVER a good thing!
    6
  6097. Denying the truth doesn't change it, Putin fanboy.
    6
  6098. Whoever steps up for this position will either be a target for the Kremlin or, if the Kremlin is happy with them, other Wagner members.
    6
  6099. For many years now we seem to have abandoned the principle that someone is innocent until proven guilty. But perversely, when it's clear beyond all reasonable doubt that someone is indeed guilty, as in the case of the three little girls that were murdered, the police and lawyers start banging on about giving them a fair trial and protecting their identity.
    6
  6100. But think of all the virgins in Lebanon who can now sleep peacefully.
    6
  6101.  @somedude1149  I don't know if it's true, but on quite a few occasions I've heard it said that a hospital gets a bit more money for every death it blames on covid-19.
    6
  6102. The key difference is that those in Russia who level such criticism at Putin either get very long prison terms or have fatal "accidents".
    6
  6103. The funny thing is that two years ago, here in the UK, RT television was my best source of finding out the truth about the anti-lockdown demonstrations, because all mainstream British media wasn't reporting on the truly massive demonstrations happening both here and abroad.
    6
  6104. And here in the UK we get hardly any coverage of this, apart from a few seconds of disparaging the truckers.
    6
  6105. Well at least you can be happy that very little tax was wasted on your education.
    6
  6106. I'll always remember the graffiti over the toilet roll, when I was at King's College London: "sociology degrees, please take one". The fact of the matter is that the majority of degrees are absolutely useless. All they do is keep the lecturers off the dole, and those taking them off the street for a few years. The one good thing is that, unlike many years ago students now have to pay for their Noddy degrees instead of the taxpayer. As Mercy rightly says, universities should revert to how they were in my day. They should be centres of research and academic excellence for between just 5% and and 10%. What the teachers at school don't tell their students is that a good plumber or electrician earns a lot more than they and most graduates do, and usually enjoys their job a lot more, and the same goes for many other trades.
    6
  6107. I gather that due to years of filthy and unnatural practices some men need to shove them where the sun don't shine.
    6
  6108. And let's not forget that Putin is a very little man.
    6
  6109. Of course, we all know that the simplest and most effective solution would be to kick Northern Ireland out of the Union. I expect a vote on this, from the rest of the UK, would turn in a sizeable majority: and around half in Northern Ireland would also welcome it.

  6117. The easiest landing is an equatorial one, because one can align the vehicle's orbit with the rotation of the moon. This means that a polar landing is the hardest. So my money is on both the India and Russian landers crashing.

  6118. At least two other large scale and well regarded studies have already suggested that natural immunity may be better than that conferred by vaccination, and may even last a lifetime. These were in Israel and Cleveland. But governments really don't want people to hear this. Right at the beginning of this pandemic governments were advised that lockdowns were absolutely the wrong approach. The advice from some very eminent experts was to just isolate the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed, or a vaccine was available for them. This advice, which was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration was deliberately ignored. But consider this. We have a virus that is quite contagious, but kills well under 1%, who we know are mainly very old and/or have serious underlying health problems. Coupled with what we very strongly suspect about natural immunity, this means that the strategy in the GBD would have worked spectacularly well. Is it any wonder that governments are so determined to deny natural immunity. They don't want to put their hands up and admit that the insanely damaging lockdowns were completely wrong, and that covid-19 would now be a small footnote in history if they had followed the advice in the GBD.

  6119. This is the kind of "doctor" you pray never to be treated by!

  6120. And a broken PM and cabinet to go with it!
    6
  6121. I got the impression that the export of energy, to those opposing Putin, had already more or less completely stopped. Did nobody explain to this genius that you make the treat before you carry it out?
    6
  6122.  @sarapiper385  There is a selfish element, but this government has proven itself to be mendacious and untrustworthy. So when a minister says there's no shortage it is eminently sensible to believe that there is.

  6125. Kick NI out of the Union! Problem solved.
    5
  6126. However, I'd rather help deserving Ukrainians than drug addicts and bums, who have only themselves to blame for being on the street. There are indeed some Brits that need and deserve help, but a lot need a boot camp where they will be taught to pull their weight and not be a burden on decent folk!

  6129. Parasitic politicians, who have never done an honest days work in their lives, are taking the bread out of the mouths of hardworking men and women and their families! And their Gestapo police force are tear gassing and pepper spraying decent people who just want to be able to put bread on the table for their children.

  6136. Those of us sensible people, who voted Reform UK, warned that voting Labour or Conservative was like turkeys voting for Christmas. It was just a matter of who you were going to be stuffed!
    5
  6137. On this I agree with Labour. It's OUR money that's been spent, and this isn't a matter of national security, so these records should have automatically been available for public scrutiny.
    5
  6138. The risk posed by covid-19 at 58 is actually very small. All we have here is someone who was unlucky. Simple probability theory guarantees that there will be people like this. Letting this influence you is like never getting on a train again after hearing about a train crash. On Christmas day 2019 I woke up feeling as if a wire brush was being rubbed up and down my throat, and most of the other symptoms this guy describes, and you know what? The following day I was well enough to go out to Marks & Spencer to buy my half price post-Christmas turkey. I was 61 then. My sister got covid-19 a few months later, at the same age. It hit her a little bit harder, but was still no big deal. There are many, many people much older than this lawyer who have had covid-19 and it's been no big deal for them. Once again, people need reminding that this is a virus that kills well under 1%. Nothing to fear, but fear itself.
    5
  6139. I'm reminded of a saying that goes something like: "sending a rich boy to do a man's job".
    5
  6140. Let's get this in perspective. This is a virus that has an IFR of less and 0.3%. This is only about 3 times as bad as flu, and less than a third as bad as measles, which we all used to live with prior to measles vaccination in 1968. These new vaccines have had their phase 3 trails, which usually last from 1 to 4 years, drastically reduced to just weeks or a couple of months. So we CANNOT know whether there might be unforeseen adverse long term effects. For something as deadly as Ebola this would be justified, but I would say that 999 out of 1000 people are taking an unnecessary risk with this vaccine. By all means vaccinate those relatively few 1 in 1000 at high risk from covid-19, but it is totally unethical to foist these vaccine upon most people, WHO SIMPLY DON'T NEED IT. The courts will also need to look at rogue companies that try to pressure their employees into having these vaccines. This would be a direct infringement of human rights. Unless our legal system has become completely corrupt then the courts will surely rule that such demands from employers are highly illegal, and impose very severe penalties. Please, please always bear in mind that governments are absolutely desperate for these vaccines, and NOT because they want to save lives. Without them they will eventually be forced to adopt Sweden's approach, or that recommended by the Great Barrington Declaration. People will then ask why they didn't do this much earlier, instead of wrecking businesses, jobs futures, and causing a great many deaths directly due to lockdowns and restrictions. THESE VACCINES DISPROPORTIONATELY BENEFIT INEPT GOVERNMENTS!

  6141. I'm sure, as in England, that most of us put far higher priority on police attending burglaries and shoplifting.

  6145. If all drugs were legalised everywhere the prices would plummet so much that it simply wouldn't be economic to grow and process poppies, coca leaves and cannabis plants. Most gangs would go out of business overnight, and the colossal cost of policing this could be spent on something much more worthwhile.

  6148. Isn't it amazing how people never prepare for things like this. In England we get copious rainfall in places like the Lake District. In Australia there's a vast over abundance of rain in the Northern Territories. Yet governments NEVER build infrastructure projects that would protect their countries from foreseeable disasters like these.
    5
  6149. Imagine that. An opposition leader critical of the government in power. What does he think Russia is a democracy?
    5
  6150. In the last few months Ukraine has been very successful in this endeavor, and Putin has looked more and more like a drowning man, whose position is becoming less tenable by the day. Sadly, it appears that Trump has just thrown him a lifeline. For its own future security Europe needs to double down on its support of Ukraine as long as Ukrainians are still prepared to fight for their freedom. Putin can be vanquished, and the alternative is unthinkable.
    5
  6151. Dream on, Putin fanboy.

  6157. Watching the ITV news last night, it was very clear that the majority in Northern Ireland support the Protocol. So why is Boris going to break international law, and risk a trade war, just to satisfy a few bigoted protestants, who have a burning hatred of Catholics and the Irish Republic? I wonder if there are enough MPs with integrity to stop him.
    5
  6158. A really good place to start would be all those Muslim men who think their superstition gives them the right to tell the women in their household how they should dress, who they should mix with, and how they should behave. But, of course, both Labour and the Tories are far more interested in soliciting their votes. And not just their votes, because the men usually take all the women's votes as well.
    5
  6159. Why not ask Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too.
    5
  6160. Downing Street genius at its finest. We already have a desperate shortage of care staff, so lets sack some of those who are left. It doesn't matter that they might have rock solid natural immunity. All that matters is that they bend to the government's will. Bugger "listening to the science". And in a few months we will see them sack doctors and nurses, who have given so much for nearly two years, and who we are also desperately short of. The ones we really need to sack are the government. Also, why, unlike their American counterparts, our our supreme court judges sitting on their fat overpaid arses instead of striking these laws down?
    5
  6161. To paraphrase a very old saying: evil flourishes when you don't do anything about it!
    5
  6162. Those of us who aren't brain dead have been decrying the senseless isolation of perfectly healthy doctors and nurses, who would be doing so much good if they were at work. Most people with Omicron don't even notice that they have it. For those that do notice it's no worse than a MILD cold. Of course, to pour petrol on the fire, our insane government seems hell bent on sacking 10% of NHS staff who aren't vaccinated, even though almost all possess vastly better natural immunity.
    5
  6163. So many of us have been saying this for many years. This is no different to so many things that many would like to have, but don't expect other people to pay for.

  6166. This UN boss has overseen 10's if not 100's of millions of dollars being given to Hamas!
    5
  6167. There's more than half a year left. The sooner this bridge goes, the sooner Putin will suffer severe and very public humiliation, which might just be the last straw for him.
    5
  6168. Just wait for many other inexplicable illnesses, when unforeseen side effects of these vaccines begin to kick in!
    5
  6169. Buggering around with exam grades is grossly UNFAIR. I have students who could handle PROPER exams and get their A or A* grades, but their hard-earned results will now be devalued. What's even remotely fair about that? A-level results for this and the previous two years are now heavily stigmatised. No sensible, honest person takes them seriously. The fact of the matter is that covid-19 posed a negligible threat to almost all students and most of their teachers. Schools, and exams, should have carried on as normal: no ifs, no buts, no maybes.
    5
  6170. How anyone could be stupid enough to fight for Putin, rather than surrender to Ukrainian forces, escapes me.
    5
  6171. Sunak is like so many insecure men. Instead of admitting when they screw up, and moving on, they double down and just make things so much worse for themselves and everybody else.
    5
  6172. The Chicken Taco would have given Germany a ceasefire immediately after the D-Day landings!
    5
  6173. The "real conundrum" is Hamas using civilians, and often children, as human shields, and the ceasefire brigade not condemning them for this!
    5
  6174. It's bad enough that Lukashenko's plane wasn't bought down on the way out. Don't waste the opportunity on the way back! It's well worth the cost of a few stinger missiles.
    5
  6175. So cowardly and pathetic. Attacking civilians because one can't hack it on the battle field against real soldiers.
    5
  6176. What's the point in having beauty salons when you have to go round with only your eyes visible through a narrow slit?
    5
  6177. People lie on their CV's and at interview, and even if they don't it's impossible to judge their work ethic until they have been in the job a while. Only a complete fool wouldn't accept that a probationary period of 3 to 6 months isn't a very good idea. Also, why should the employer, or the taxpayer, fork out for the odd few days off. Forgoing such payment only really hurts those who are chronic skivers. They richly deserve to be hurt, NOT encouraged! I could probably count the entire workdays I've taken off sick on one hand, and I'm now retired.

  6183. The UN is furious that aid is now getting to the people who need it instead of Hamas.
    5
  6184. If Ukraine can put on a good show in Moscow tomorrow there's even a chance that Putin won't survive the humiliation it inflicts on him.
    5
  6185. Such a variant may well arise, but without having mainly vaccinated people to apply selective pressure favouring it there's no reason why it should gain any dominance. The only reason the more infectious Delta variant became dominant was because dumb-ass lockdown strategies gave it a significant advantage. So sorry Dr. Pankhania, but your argument is fairly weak. However, as one of those who don't think vaccinating those who have natural immunity, or are at low risk, makes any sense, I'd be more than happy to give poor countries the vaccines that we really don't need, so they could vaccinated their most vulnerable.
    5

  6191. What a bloody slapper Daisy Cousens is. Sympathy does cost anything, standing up for what you believe in does.

  6199. Ah, just in time, as many of us predicted months ago. The special bad-ass Christmas variant. Exactly what governments need to lock people down and stop them seeing loved ones and enjoying Christmas. Just how stupid do you have to be to believe this crap?
    5
  6200. At last! Somebody finally mentioning age discrimination. It is already illegal, but unlike sex, race and gender discrimination the government and courts DELIBERATELY turn a blind eye to it. If you have got a kid at secondary school have a look at how many older, really good and experienced, teachers the school has. In the vast majority of schools you won't find many because schools won't employ them and sometimes even force those they have out.

  6212. On Christmas Day 2019 I woke up aching from head to toe and feeling like someone had rubbed a wire brush up and down my throat. But not being a pathetic bleating sheep I had a few Strepzils and spent most of the day sleeping. By Boxing day I was well enough to get my half price Turkey in M&S. I thought nothing of it until a couple of months later, when I heard that the symptoms were a dead ringer for covid-19. I've been enjoying NATURAL immunity ever since.
    5
  6213.  @jorr1334  Or maybe they were worried that one of their own pilots would do the decent thing.
    5
  6214. It's hard to see the mistake when Putin has been given yet another deadline, that will without doubt be extended.
    5
  6215. The bell tolled for Sunak and his bunch of self-serving incompetents quite a while back. Unfortunately Starmer and his bunch will prove just as incompetent, and maybe even worse, if that's possible. This country desperately needs those politicians, from all parties, that are intelligent and honest, to get together and offer Britain an alternative party. Sadly, I fear there are nowhere near enough bright politicians, with integrity, to be able to do this.
    5
  6216. They don't want parental permission because any decent parent would say no. This post would get removed if I say what I would do to anyone who vaccinated my child without permission. Maybe it's very fortunate for such people that I don't have any kids.

  6217. I bet it will be a lot cheaper than the £500 million we gave to the French and £120 million we gave to Rwanda. How many hundreds (thousands) of islands have we got on which to build such a facility?

    5
  6223. Many Muslims are good decent people, but will get caught in the crossfire due to this, and previous, governments' cowardice and incompetence. These fires have been stoked for decades, by things like the industrial scale abuse of white girls in Rochdale that successive governments and local authorities turned a blind eye to. Also, allowing those pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic marches (call them what they are) which have been going on since October has got most people very worried. Other countries had the good sense to ban them. And, most recently, let's not forget the animal who broke a policewoman's nose, and hasn't even been charged. It's incidents like these that have finally brought things to a boil.
    5
  6224. With it being likely that the Ukrainian offensive will kick off very soon, Putin is becoming truly desperate. If this offensive is as successful as the last one there's a reasonable chance that the Orcs could be pushed right out of Ukraine, which would probably get Putin removed from power and even cost him his life.
    5
  6225. The increase in drone and missile attacks by Russia is a strong indication of just how frightened and desperate Putin has become about the impending Ukrainian offensive. He's like a cornered animal, watching the wolves closing in, and putting on a pathetic display in the futile hope of scaring them off.
    5
  6226. The fact that Putin loving India signed up is reason enough not to sign.
    5
  6227. Every misogynistic Muslim fundamentalist who is killed makes the world a better place. Hopefully we will see many more incidents like this.

    5
  6229. I'll bet many of those involved in this plot could be deported if Starmer had the balls to do so.
    5
  6230. This is good news, but Ukraine needs two other things a lot more: 1. Ukraine needs longer range and more powerful missiles and drones that will allow it to take out bases and supply lines in Russia: with NATO encouraging their use in this manner. 2. It also needs air support. Those F16 jets need to reach Ukraine ASAP, and it would be nice if some ace fighter pilots where given the opportunity to take paid leave of absence to fly them in Ukraine.
    5
  6231. No! Rabid Orc animals are getting eradicated.
    5
  6232. AND several million who could work are not even looking for it and fraudulently claiming benefits!
    5
  6233. Time to lock and load. There are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just itching to purge Ukrainian skies of Orcs, and the Ukraine government would welcome them in to do that.
    5
  6234. With Russia's Black Sea fleet severely weakened or even out of action it should be much easier to permanently put Putin's beloved Kerch bridge out of commission. This WOULD be extremely humiliating for him. It would also sow panic among the Orcs in Crimea, by cutting off a major escape route.
    5
  6235. With parliament not sitting, those protesters should have been left stuck together there for 48 hours, to soil themselves, and without any food or water. It would make others think twice before getting out the super glue.
    5
  6236. Ah, the benefits of a classics degree. Alternatively you just put a few pence worth of citric acid in it, to dissolve any limescale on the heating element.
    5
  6237. FFS stop the scaremongering! Covid-19 has NEVER posed a threat to over 99% of the population. And of those 99% who got it they ended up with excellent natural immunity, that is far better than that of these poorly tested vaccines.
    5
  6238. Incontinent Putin has now lost 10 to 20 times as many soldiers in Ukraine as the Soviet Union lost during its entire campaign in Afghanistan.
    5
  6239. A very small taste of things to come when Labour becomes the next government?
    5
  6240. A massive surge in an EXTREMELY MILD variant, that is putting hardly anyone, if anyone at all, in hospital. You know, I just can't seem to get scared about this. Mind you, I am getting a little excited about the prospect that Omicron could quickly, and SAFELY, spread herd immunity, and end this pandemic.
    5
  6241. NATO should go in to provide humanitarian services like water distribution.
    5
  6242. I totally disagree. After years of really arduous training, athletes were deprived of even a small audience to cheer them on. Also, medal winners being forced to wear masks on the podium was insulting to them, and totally unnecessary. As the time honoured saying goes "if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing properly". The Japanese did NOT honour the spirit of the Olympic Games.

    5
  6248. ​ @undxfined9070  The real reason this school gets better grades than others in Enfield has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of its teaching. It's simply that the parents in it's catchment area are better off, and so most of the kinds get private tutoring.
    5

  6251. If Wagner and Belarusian troop venture into a NATO country they will be wiped out in next to no time. Of course, Putin WANTS Wagner wiped out for their little mutiny that caused him so much embarrassment: forgive and forget isn't in his vocabulary.

  6252. The great thing about these bombers is they have propellers. The fundamental laws of aerodynamics mean they can't fly fast enough to avoid being taken out by jets and missiles. So this video is meant to impress uneducated Russians: the kind that play banjos and wouldn't look out of place in the Deliverance movie.

  6259. Let's talk about gross stupidity. On average it costs around £30 a week just to keep a car on the road without driving it at all. With very good public transport in most of London, just how dumb do you have to be to have a car instead of walking, cycling or using public transport? As someone who is a decent cook I can feed myself well for £30 a week!

  6261. When I worked for organisations I was always amazed how willing people were to carry out the orders of their boss as if what they were doing was down to them. In contrast I would ALWAYS make sure people knew exactly who the instigator of any dictum was. The government is jerking off behind the scenes, but those supposedly negotiating haven't the guts to say openly that their hands are tied.
    5
  6262. Many years ago, as a software developer, there was a particular type of person I really loathed. They would make a mistake, but instead of admitting it they would do their best to hide it, which made things vastly worse for everyone, including themselves. I can remember making a few big ones. Occasionally I had to go back to the boss and say I had taken the wrong approach, and several weeks of work would have to be binned. It was the right thing to do, and far from getting sacked or abused I was respected for my honesty and integrity. Right at the very start the REAL experts told governments that lockdowns and similar measures would not work, and would just cause immense damage. They recommended only isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. It very quickly became apparent that their advice was spot on, and that "2 weeks to flatten the curve" was a very sick joke. But rather than admit they got it terribly wrong, governments have inflicted 2 years of unnecessary suffering upon their populations.

  6263. ​ @wilberwhateley7569  Well one thing is absolutely certain. Putin's "removal" from power is an essential prerequisite for any lasting peace.
    5
  6264. Would those assurances from Putin be like the ones he gave that he was only on military exercises and not going to invade Ukraine? The only thing that's assured is that some of the Putin fanboy countries are going to go hungry as a direct result of his actions.

  6271. We need to hold fast to our democratic principles. Scotland with a fraction of Taiwan's population were given a vote on independence, and will no doubt be given one again, in the not too distant future. We even support the will of the inhabitants of Gibraltar and the Falklands, who overwhelmingly want to remain British, despite their very small populations. If around 23.5 million Taiwanese do not want to be part of mainland China then their choice must be respected and fully recognised by all!

  6273. If this were Ebola fever then a rushed vaccine development would be necessary and justified, and I would be fighting my way to the front of the queue to get vaccinated. But we are dealing with a virus that only kills about 1 in 1000, and most of those are very ill and/or very old. For most who get covid-19 it's less bothersome than a bad cold. In fact many don't even notice they have got it. So it's a matter of weighing up the risks. If you are at high risk of dying from covid-19 then taking the vaccine makes sense. But anyone else taking it has to be a complete and utter moron. Most vaccines take AT LEAST 5 YEARS to complete their SAFETY trials. This can't be rushed, because not all issues show up at once, especially when we are dealing with the immune system. Though not a vaccine, thalidomide is a classic example of a treatment whose dark side took years to show up, and there have most certainly been others. So, are 446 million people really stupid enough to take a vaccine that hasn't been properly tested? I'll be very surprised if even a quarter of them want to get vaccinated. What we have to remember is that it's the governments and politicians who are the ones that are really desperate for a vaccine. Instead of behaving like the level-headed Swedes, they ran around like headless chickens and buggered the hell out of their economies and peoples lives and futures. A vaccine allows them to claim that what they did was right, but without it they will have to answer for their imbecilic acts. So if you RISK taking a vaccine you will be doing it solely for the benefit of scumbag politicians, not for your benefit.

  6275. The plan to charge VAT on school fees is definitely about as boneheaded as it gets. In these tight times it will very likely reduce the numbers attending private schools very significantly. Then the state, which means us, will have to pay for these kids' education or see class sizes increase and standards drop even further. But quite a few Labour taxes are much more about envy than making things better. In fact, if Starmer genuinely wanted to improve education he would give parents a tax rebate on private school fees, thus reducing the burden on the state sector. And the same could be said about private medicine.

  6278. Surely this could have been avoided by just agreeing that any changes to pensions would only apply to those who are subsequently employed, which would also be the morally right thing to do.

  6280. This kind of thing is common throughout the food industry. Years ago Dorset Cereals pulled a massive con. Their "Fantastically Fruity Muesli" cereal used to contain 15% of cranberries, and also a decent percentage of blueberries. Both off these berries have now been completely removed.

  6285. Does "making it as simple as we can" explain why those with natural immunity are not being treated the same as those who are vaccinated. The science, that Boris tells us he listens to, clearly indicates that those who have recovered from covid-19 are just as safe, from either getting or transmitting coviv-19. Dye your hair and grow a moustache, Boris!

  6286. Good luck getting another job if you are on M6. Applications from such teachers often go straight in the bin, in favour of those on M1 or M2. Indeed M6 teachers are often hounded out of their jobs so that they can be replaced by someone cheaper.

  6287. Like most cowardly politicians it looks like Reeves, with the support of TTK, has gone for the easy, and less justified, targets, instead of the ones that really deserve targeting, and would result in far bigger savings. As people can check on the BBC website, it was reported less than 24 hours ago that 9.4 million people of working age aren't even looking for a job. And a few months ago it was reported that around £40,000 per year is being spent on each illegal immigrant. These are the areas that Reeves should be seeking savings in!

    5
  6294. I have a little yellow book, with 20 vaccine stamps in it, that I willingly spent time and money getting: and I can see myself getting more in the future. But I wouldn't touch these covi-19 vaccines with a 10ft barge pole! Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them. People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many!
    5
  6295. If it's a choice between losing the triple lock or increasing the retirement age then the latter is a no-brainer. There comes a stage when you can't go out to work, and having inflation eat away at a meagre pension really sucks, especially when your medical bills are going up: as waiting years for NHS treatment can totally screw you. Let's be very clear. The triple lock is not some form of exceptional generosity towards pensioners. It's about making sure that one of the meanest state pensions in the developed world doesn't get further devalued. Unlike other benefits, most old people have EARNED their state pension!
    5
  6296. Well, very few actors and actresses are renowned for their piercing intellect.

  6297. This would never have happened on Margaret Thatcher's watch. She would never had allowed lockdowns that went against the advice of the REAL experts, like Offord University's Professor Sunetra Gupta. She would also not have squandered vast amounts on improperly tested vaccines that only a single figure percentage of the country should ever have been given. This would have meant Britain was vastly better off financially. If we had had one more PM then Johnson, May and Sunak could have been 3 out of the 4 riders of the apocalypse, as far as Britain is concerned. Mind you when Starmer gets in that will make it up to 4!

Contrary to the rail union propaganda it take very little intelligence or effort to drive a train. There may once have been a time when a train driver also had to know enough to fix the engine, but those days have long since passed.
    5
  6304. Sadly, it looks as if the flames are only on the outside. If you are going to burn a building down it's important to get some of the petrol inside. If the windows are hard to brake, and there isn't a letter box then try to get some under the door, or look for some ventilation grills. Of course, if you can run fast, just lob it in when the place is open.

  6316. I doubt any of these people give a second thought to the Israeli babies that were butchered last week. If they do they probably rejoice in it.

    5
  6328. Correct. Scumbag Starmer has tested positive 6 times. Despite all the wishful thinking, I think we can all agree that, sadly, he hasn't had covid-19 6 times. In other words, the testing doesn't bloody work!

  6332. Lots of regions would dearly like to leave the Russian Federation, and this is one of Putin's greatest fears. With Moscow now much weakened it only takes one to realise that there has never been a better time to secede from Putin's evil empire. And once one region makes its move we could well see that famous domino effect. Consider Siberia, for instance. This is a region very rich in natural resources. How much better off would they be if Moscow wasn't able to plunder them, and give nothing in return?

  6355. In the last couple of years, before she died at 90, my mother was suffering with dementia. It was nowhere near as bad as what's described here, but it was very trying. I don't know if it's generally the case, but it was also incredibly distressing, at times for my mother. On one occasion she was crying and looking for her father, who had died about 60 years earlier. Funding care for this should not be a post code lottery, but neither should what each council needs to spend be down to chance. The only way to tackle this, and so many other inequities, due to location, is by direct central funding.

  6360. No race. The variants still only kill 1 in 1000 mostly over 80. And they don't seem to pose a threat to immunity. Before racing to stick more needles in people perhaps some consideration should be given to the 30 people in Norway who DIED after being vaccinated.

In view of the clots that have been found, I'd be very interested in how many excess heart attacks, strokes and amputations due to occluded blood vessels there have been: particularly among younger people. I've willingly spent time and money getting quite a few vaccinations before travelling, but I'm so glad I didn't get conned into taking a Covid jab.

  6363. I really love it when the vehicles are moving, because that means that a few Orcs have also been roasted.
    5
  6364. Yet another reason to speed up the delivery of better weapons to Ukraine. NATO militaries should also consider giving troops who want to fight in Ukraine a temporary discharge so that they can do so without getting NATO directly involved. There are probably quite a lot of very experienced soldiers who would jump at such an opportunity.
    5
  6365. We are told that the vaccine has saved millions of lives, but is there concrete evidence to back up such claims? If this were indeed true then we would expect countries with poor access to this "vaccine" to have had much higher death rates, which doesn't appear to be the case. We have seen a significant increase in myocarditis among fit young people, and this mRNA vaccine DOES seem likely to be the cause. The mRNA has also been detected in breast milk, where it most certainly shouldn't be! The HONEST TRUTH is that this vaccine was rushed through and that probably around 95% of people should never have received it.

    5
  6386. The REAL solution is incredibly simple. Nationalise all energy produces in the UK, and UK territorial waters, without compensation. Then sell the energy at cost. Only a few rich bastards will object, and it will be just punishment for the boundless greed of these companies, and their total disregard for the welfare of most people and the country.
    5
  6387. The trouble is that short of one of his own generals bombing the Kremlin with bunker busting bombs they probably can't get at him.
    5
  6388. Putin knows that he might not survive the severe public humiliation if this bridge is destroyed. I wonder if Zelensky realises this too?
    5
  6389. When I was a young undergrad at Kings College London I saw a bit of graffiti above a toilet roll: "sociology degrees, please take one".
    5
  6390. All educational qualifications have been continually degraded for at least the past 50 years. Here are a few examples of how much less well prepared students are as they enter university: 1. When I did French O-level we were expected to master 10 different tenses. 2. Partial differentiation was part of my maths A-level. 3. Any respectable physics teacher wouldn't let you into his/her A-level classes unless you were also taking maths, because physics then required you to be able to solve some simple differential equations. I also have an observation on maths graduates from my PGCE course that I did a little over 30 years ago. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I tell you that many of them were scared of doing A-level questions on sight!
    5
  6391. Same in the UK, but BOTH Labour and Conservative think we are stupid. And if Reform UK aren't elected they will be proved correct.
    5
  6392. To use a Game of Thrones expression: remove both the stones and the pillar!
    5
  6393. Looking at your cover picture one can almost hear Starmer saying "come on you turkeys, vote for Christmas".
    5
  6394. Moscow would blame Europe and America if it rained too hard.
    5
  6395. So that more money can be given to the real parasites.
    5
  6396.  @manakara9821  You do have a point. We have hate preachers here that promote their message without fear of any sanction. And we probably kill more terrorists by making them laugh themselves to death at our deradicalisation schemes, than by any other means.
    5
  6397. The most frightening thing, in looking back, is the absolute certainty that, because of Muslim appeasement, we are now a lot less safe than 20 years ago!
    5
  6398. God, it's like watching Nazis in an occupied country laying down their oppressive rules. It's easy to picture Fuller in a full SS uniform. What's needed is a really good resistance movement to fight back against these fascists.
    5
  6399. The anally retentive are really getting their knickers in a twist over emails that posed no security risk.
    5
  6400. What pretty fireworks. I hope there were plenty of Orcs that got a ringside seat.
    5
  6401.  @markrowley2739  I'm strongly anti-hunt, but the comment is spot on.
    5
  6402. There's so much truth in this. My parents didn't go on expensive holidays, nights out, or drive a car. Although I urged them to they wouldn't take an equity relief to make life more comfortable in their old age. Because they wanted to leave something to help their children with.
    5
  6403. The whole damn country still has a lockdown and mask hangover!
    5
  6404. As the real experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, advised there should never have been lockdowns.
    5
  6405. In the UK it is if you are not white or Christian: and especially if you are a young man to boot.
    5
  6406. Understandable when one considers that Putin is pinning his hopes on Trump winning.
    5
  6407. No, moron, it's anti poorly tested vaccine that most people don't need.
    5
  6408. So, let me interpret the first bit of what you said. Although the Indian variant seems to be displacing the Kent variant, infection numbers are stable. This seems to suggest that we are simply seeing a different variant doing exactly the same thing. Rather like a gang turf war, where the amount or kind of crime doesn't change, just who is doing it. Tim, as you and I both understand, wide confidence limits represent very questionable proof. Also, what hasn't been done is a parallel comparison of infection rates for the Kent or other variants. I strongly suspect that if we could compare them all to one another the results would all fall very comfortably within one another's 95% confidence limits. Unfortunately most people reading this won't have a clue what I'm talking about. However the bottom line would be that there is no strong evidence that vaccines are any less effective against any variant. The connection with obesity is really interesting. The UK has one of the highest fatality rates in Europe, but equally it has by far the greatest proportion of fat people. Coming back after living in New Zealand, Germany and Italy this was something that was very hard to miss. Normalising being fat is not doing UK people any favours. Finally, on "long covid" am I the only one who recalls how people used to say "I still haven't fully got over that flu I had a few months ago". Are we really actually seeing anything new, or worth worrying about?
    5
  6409. The peace of the graveyard!
    5
  6410. Well, her own black life certainly mattered to her.
    5
  6411. Just keep killing as many Orcs as possible, and try to choose the battles that suit you, rather than the kind that favour Poo Tin's mindless Orcs.
    5
  6412. So let me get this right. IF this was down to Ukrainian forces then Russia is condemning the targeting of civilian buildings, but it's more than happy to target 1000 to 10,000 times more civilian buildings itself.
    5
  6413. Both the previous government and this one could have stopped the small boats relatively easily if they had the will to do so. The are quite a few strategies that would be very effective: 1. MI6 could be used to eliminate the people smugglers. 2. Small boats could be forcibly towed back to French territorial waters. 3. Instead of being comfortably housed, illegals could be interned on some bleak remote island. I'm sure others could expand on this list.
    5
  6414. With almost all the vulnerable now vaccinated, and covid-19 posing a negligible risk to the rest, here's a simplification. Get rid of all these bloody fascist rules!
    5
  6415. Good idea!
    5
  6416. Only a complete cretin would be surprised by the prospect of Putin turning off the gas.
    5
  6417. I've said it before. The rest of the UK should have a referendum on booting Northern Ireland out of the Union. I'm certain that most of us would be very happy to see that back of these quarrelsome, pontificating, bigots.
    5
  6418. Not only do some parents prioritise their funds, some even go out and work an extra job, such as evening cleaning, to fund their child's further education: I'm not making this up. Does this seem privileged?
    5
  6419. Well done Francis. While people like me understand the law on this most don't. So, the bottom line is once you claim exemption that's the end of the matter. The police cannot legally demand your medical details, and if they arrest you or try to fine you then they are the ones who are committing an offence. Any policeman claiming reasonable suspicion is like those who stop young men on the street just because they are black!
    5
  6420. The last two years of buggering up kids education and mental health show that MOST people don't give a toss about our children's future.
    5
  6421. I hope Ukraine can keep up the momentum and maybe even increase it. All good, decent people in the world rejoice in Ukraine's current victories.
    5
  6422. Hopefully even the most cowardly of voters are going to realise that, contrary to Tory minister lies, a vote for Reform UK (or indeed the LibDems) is now very far from being a "wasted vote" that will let Labour into No.10.
    5
  6423. More likely thousands.
    5
  6424. She is what's between her legs!
    5
  6425. Why are the faces of those who are irrefutably criminals always obscured? With attitudes like this is it any wonder that there is so much crime in this country. Doesn't anyone else think that other shopkeepers have a right to see this man's face, so that they can protect themselves?
    5
  6426. From Munich 1938 we know what will happen if we allow Putin any kind of victory whatsoever!
    5
  6427. Hate to break it to you Boris but the average death rate is way down on what it normally is. Despite bad ass Delta, less people than usual are dying. Also, research seems to indicate that this SLIGHTLY more contagious variant is actually LESS deadly. The only thing Brits need to restrain is their irrational fear.
    5
  6428. Trying to decide whether I should go on holiday. If I go somewhere with more or less guaranteed sunshine there may be a serious heatwave. And if I choose somewhere a bit more iffy there may be floods.
    5
  6429. Good news about the hospital wards. Imagine being a very sick women and having a perv in the bed next to you. That's hardly conducive to ones recovery.
    5
  6430. Expecting Putin to keep a promise is like expecting a steaming turd not to stink.
    5
  6431. Can I have a side order of well done Orc with that?
    5
  6432. If they are anything like the ones I used to teach (some of my favourite students) I suspect that most young Russians hate Putin.
    5
  6433. Am I the only one outraged that both the public and the jury were deliberately misled into believing that Chris Kaba was an innocent law-abiding man?
    5
  6434. To answer Jim's comment. Most of those homeless veterans are mentally disturbed. This is often a direct result of serving their country in ways most of us wouldn't be prepared to. But nonetheless, very few want to take in a mentally disturbed person.
    5
  6435. But can they pull a rabbit out of that hat at the same time?
    5
  6436.  @breeleemc  I'm not prepared to see the overwhelming majority have their lives screwed up for the small fraction of a percent that are immune compromised.
    5
  6437. If only it was moving and full or Orcs.
    5
  6438. An amphibious operation to take out some of the Kerch bridge's supports, and destroy it once and for all, would put this training to really good use.
    5
  6439. They don't call him TTK without good reason!
    5
  6440. This is the kind of warfare that Ukrainians are vastly better at than the Orcs. Don't play the game that Putin wants. Just keep killing Orcs in ways like this, there isn't an endless supply coming from Putin's breeding pits in Russia. Good generals pick their battles carefully!
    5
  6441. When I saw that M&S advert I saw a completely normal Christmas scene. The correct colour of a welcoming fire, behind the red and green that reminds us of holly with berries. This advert was created in August. M&S should have stuck with it!
    5
  6442. When Reform's popularity is soaring why put a spanner in the works by supporting Islamists? This stance by Farage was extremely ill thought out.
    5
  6443. Putin will be binging on Champagne and Caviar, to celebrate.
    5
  6444. If the wound really was very minor then Russia would be very fast to show that this general was well on the way to recovery.
    5
  6445. And next week we will hear that Putin now wants to be known as Ming the Merciless.
    5
  6446. They've done it too late only because they were determined not to do it at all until the pressure on them became too much!
    5
  6447. While this is very true, as my comment that YouTube has hidden says, there's no shortage of born and breed Brits also milking the system.
    5
  6448. As someone who lived in Berlin for 3 years I can tell you that, contrary to the public display, there is very little love lost between France and Germany.
    5
  6449.  @krishnan-resurrection714  Eating MPs sounds good, but once again you don't know where they have been, or what filthy habits they engage in.
    5
  6450. Il est essentiel que ces attaques se poursuivent, car elles sont indéniablement préjudiciables à la Russie. Cependant, il est urgent de detruire le pont de Kertch, car en cas de cessez-le-feu, il sera fortement utilisé pour réarmer la Crimée jusqu'aux dents. Malheureusement, chaque fois que quelqu'un mentionne le pont en anglais, YouTube, supprime immédiatement le commentaire!
    5
  6451. In this instance the Israeli people support their government, although I suspect many don't' think their government is being tough enough.
    5
  6452. For how long, and how often, does it need to be repeated. Kick Hungary out of the EU and NATO!
    5
  6453. Maybe Russia should now call May 9th Loser Day.
    5
  6454. Teenagers are definitely getting dumber if they say they need social media to socialize with friends. When I was young socializing meant actually getting together, either at each others house or by doing an activity in some club or organisation. If it were up to me, for the good of young people, I'd ban the procession of any mobile phone for everyone under 18: as well as access to social media via a computer.
    5
  6455. Many years ago I enjoyed quite a few great holidays in the US, and have wonderful memories of them. I also really enjoyed working for an American company in the UK. But let's tell it as it now is. For at least 20 years the US has treated foreigners living (and paying their taxes) there like shit. My impression is that, at least in the UK, Americans receive vastly better treatment. The way a green card ties you to a company is tantamount to slavery. And I can't help wondering how many people on enterprise visas are now going to be booted out of the US, even though it was government lockdowns that caused their businesses to fail.
    5
  6456. Stupid is as stupid does?
    5
  6457. Like Chamberlain giving concessions to Hitler. And we all know how long "peace in our time" lasted.
    5
  6458. So true.
    5
  6459.  @mrjerzheel  Sorry to disappoint you, but these weren't new missiles.
    5
  6460. In the UK we have 25% of the working age population on benefits, claiming that they are too sick to work, which is clearly nonsense. If TTK really cares about defence then he should immediately introduce compulsory National Service for most of them.
    5
  6461. Well done Gillian, for not paying any attention to this Chicken Little nonsense.
    5
  6462. Hopefully a lot more Orcs will be ground there.
    5
  6463. If this were a football match then both sides would have scored the same number of goals, BUT there would be 1 Ukrainian player nursing a broken leg on the sidelines, and 5 to 7 Russian ones in the same state. The battle in Bakhmut has been a gift to Ukraine as Putin has avidly been feeding Orcs to the meat grinder. For every brave Ukrainian killed between 5 to 7 Orcs have been eradicated. No wonder Ukraine didn't want to retreat. It was a deal too good to walk away from.
    5
  6464. One hard lesson the Ukrainians don't seem to have learned that is you don't play the game your enemy wants you to, because he has an overwhelming advantage. When it comes to artillery exchanges in the Donbas this appears to be the case. So it would be far wiser to pull back and live to fight another day.
    5
  6465. Living in a free society means one has the right to report facts. One also has the right to share what others have reported, unless there is strong evidence that you knew, beyond reasonable doubt, that it was false. One also has the right to air ones opinion. Democracy and freedom of speech mean that we ALL have to accept that sometimes the opinions of others will seriously offend us. Take this away and we might as well hand Britain over to Putin and his FSB goons.
    5
  6466. This is very easily, and relatively cheaply, dealt with. I'm sure, for a very reasonable price, some nice Sicilian family would be happy to give him the sentence he deserved in the first place.
    5
  6467. As with Israel, and like a naughty little boy, it seems that Trump only does what's right when he is forced to.
    5
  6468. All that has to happen to calm things down is for Putin to haul his incontinent arse out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
    5
  6469. Although 63, I too am absolutely appalled at the attitude of so many to young people, and the way they have been treated. I look back on my youth and admit I had it bloody good. In fact, even before this pandemic I would say that my generation had it a lot better. We had our university fees paid, a grant, and even our travelling reimbursed. On top of that I always found it incredibly easy to land a job every single holiday. I would never seek to take away from young people the opportunities that I enjoyed at their age, under any circumstances. I just put it down to having some small shred of decency and fairmindedness. Unfortunately the UK really does seem to be stuffed to the gills with a most cowardly and selfish older generation. This virus never posed any serious threat to our young people, and it posed only a miniscule threat to most of their teachers and lecturers. No proof has ever been produced to show that what has been done to them has significantly reduced covid-19 deaths. Yet young people have born the lion's share of the restrictions. What the sniveling older cowards seem to forget is that these young people are our future, and as they will discover payback's a bitch!
    5
  6470. Trump looks like a little boy whining about how everybody else isn't playing fair.
    5
  6471. There was at least one report in 2017, on Moderna's research into mRNA treatments clearly stating that there were unavoidable NASTY side effects. Our government, and the WHO, would also have been well aware of reports like this.
    5
  6472. That's like saying don't intervene in Hitler's extermination program.
    5
  6473. Sunak might as well celebrate the sun rising, because he sure as hell had nothing to do with inflation slowing down.
    5
  6474. Little mention of the policewoman who had her nose broken by these misogynistic cowards. Oh, sorry I forgot. If you are of a certain religious persuasion and ethnicity our laws do not apply to you.
    5
  6475. While the far-right are no angels, it does seem to me that the lefties are always very quick to resort to violence whenever they get a whiff of a right wing candidate becoming too popular.
    5
  6476. What I love is that the second captured soldier wants to go back to North Korea. Does he really think he will be freed to return to his family and tell those back home how things really are?
    5
  6477. For the vast majority of people Covid-19 was less bother than a cold.
    5
  6478. Despite having a very strong scientific background, and IQ of around 150, my warnings on Facebook were ignored: as are shares of videos like this one.
    5
  6479. You pathetic snowflake! Most of us sensible unvaccinated would be very happy to pay for our covid-19 care, rather than take poorly tested vaccines. Because unlike cowards like YOU, we know what a tiny risk covid-19 poses to over 99% of the population.
    5
  6480. With 9.4 million who are of working age (that's 25%) not working it's a very fair assumption that at least a couple of million are perpetrating benefit fraud. Ending this would bring in vastly more money than stopping pensioners' winter fuel payments!
    5
  6481. Like a nighttime shoot of vermin in a farmyard.
    5
  6482. If true we need people like this to head for Moscow and do some much more serious damage.
    5
  6483. This will remind many of the pact between Stalin and Hitler, shortly after which Poland was invaded. It's such a pity that Emperor Xi's plane wasn't shot down, because now we need to keep a very close eye on Taiwan.
    5
  6484. Il serait bien plus humilié si le pont de Kertch coulait !
    5
  6485.  @face-in-the-crowd  Exactly. This is nothing but an excuse to trample on people's freedoms.
    5
  6486. Just made a similar comment. Let's see if YouTube hides or removes it.
    5
  6487. Sounds like Reform UK might just save this country then.
    5
  6488. The trouble is that those waiting to stab Boris in the back and take his place are just as bad as him. if Diogenes were alive today he would be wandering round the cabinet room with his candle.
    5
  6489. If you get 31 months for just a few hurty words then 4 years seems a bit lenient.
    5
  6490. Dictators don't listen to voices, they only respect strength and force.
    5
  6491. You don't need education to realise that drop kicking a small animal is very bad for them.
    5
  6492. One explosion or two? If the there was only one on the tracks then one would expect the carriageway nearer to the railway to have been damaged, rather than that on the far side. Similarly, if the explosion occurred on the collapsed section of the carriageway then how did the railway get damaged while the other carriageway survived. At any rate, I wouldn't want to drive over that blackened section of carriageway, no matter how safe Putin and his clowns says it is.
    5
  6493. It's just a great pity that a few of these missiles aren't capable of taking out a large (Russian) dam.
    5
  6494. As with age discrimination, this is a case of governments and the courts blatantly ignoring law breaking on an industrial scale. The law is very clear that organisations must only offer jobs to foreigners with no right of residence if a UK resident cannot fill the post. This does NOT mean that the UK resident must accept sweatshop wages!
    5
  6495. Even better, put Sunak and his whole worse than useless cabinet on it!
    5
  6496. hence the expression "you lying Arab".
    5
  6497. Nobody takes Putin's stunts and rants seriously. He is a very frightened little man who sees his end getting closer with every passing day.
    5
  6498. Let's be very clear on this. Most of the people in Northern Ireland are happy with the protocol. It's a MINORITY of bigoted protestants, who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic, who are making such a fuss. Why should the majority who are happy be made to suffer for them?
    5
  6499. We should really leave such nonsensical speculation to the Putin fanboys, who desperately want to downplay his humiliation. Prigozhin has been making a fuss for months. Was this all part of a very elaborate plan or, as seems more likely, did he think an attempted coup would enjoy popular support? He certainly seemed to get a warm welcome in Rostov, so one has to wonder just how much more support he would have garnered if he hadn't bottled it.
    5
  6500. Sound's a bit like the already forgotten missile strike that we were promised would be remembered for a century.
    5
  6501. It would strike vastly more fear, and possibly lead to a palace coup, if another such attack was carried out very soon after this.
    5
  6502. To use Trump's favourite word, does he not realise how stupid he sounds by making a self declaration that he is very well educated? There's a big difference between daddy paying to send you to good schools and being well educated. Isn't it amazing how really intelligent people realise that there are always others far more clever than them, but those who aren't very bright are convinced of their own brilliance.
    5
  6503. Am I the only one noticing that Lidl is very much busier than it used to be a few years ago. I guess it's not surprising when, for instance, a can of evaporated milk (same size, same ingredients) costs about ⅓ the price as elsewhere. I'm going even more cooking and baking than I used to: healthier, tastier, and way cheaper.
    5
  6504. The striking doctors are not GPs. They are junior doctors who, far from working 3 day weeks, are worked to the bone. For decades BOTH parties have degraded the pay and conditions of doctors and nurses. It was obvious that a day of reckoning was coming, but those in power simply gambled on it not happening on their watch.
    5
  6505. Maybe Sunak will tell us to go out and clap for them. I'm sure that will make them feel far better than giving them a fair and living wage.
    5
  6506. Maybe Herr Macron needs to arrange a rally in Nuremburg.
    5
  6507. As much as we can trust Putin!
    5
  6508. Now here is someone more deserving of a jail sentence that some person who made a heat of the moment tweet that they didn't really mean.
    5
  6509. When NI was introduced it was a tiny tax used to provide for people's retirement pension, hence the name. Nobody really minded paying it. But over the decades, under both parties, it has mutated like a malignant cancer, so that now sucks the lifeblood out of wages and company profits, and bears no resemblance to how it started out, being now mainly used to fund anything but pensions. As such our tax system should be simplified by absorbing NI into income tax and corporation tax. A simpler tax system would be cheaper for both companies and government to administer, and people would find it much easier to understand. Ah, but there's the rub, it's harder to cheat people when they are better able to understand something.
    5
  6510. Longer range missiles that can take out the Kerch Bridge and other more distant supply routes are very urgently needed.
    5
  6511. We are regularly reminded that Boris is the proud owner of an absolutely useless classics degree, though I wonder what Gate's angle is. In terms of global aerospace research £400 million is a fairly paltry sum. Only a scientific ignoramus doesn't understand that it's the very high energy density of hydrocarbons that makes jets possible. Of course, if you had A LOT MORE seating room and could walk around and stretch your legs, many of us would welcome redesigned airships, even if they were a lot slower.
    5
  6512. Less sympathy and more the realization that if Putin even slightly suspects that they might be a threat to him then the same faith will befall them!
    5
  6513. Crawl back under your stone, coward!
    5
  6514. Could it possibly be that we don't punish fly-tipping severely enough? If you are caught fly-tipping you should lose your driving license for at least 5 years and all your motor vehicles should be confiscated. Does anyone think this is too harsh?
    5
  6515. Unfortunately so true. We need to give MI5 carte blanche to purge them from our country.
    5
  6516. Government should have just kept their mouths shut. Doesn't Downing Street realise that only the mentally feeble now trust them. So if they say one thing most sensible people are going to do the opposite.
    5
  6517. Doing things on the cheap has been the British way for as long as I can remember. The trouble is that you almost always pay a lot more in the long run when you try to cut corners. To give but one example we wouldn't have the debacle of all those wrongly accused sub post office masters if good I.T. people had been chosen to write their system. But they would have cost a bit more. In my I.T. development days I used to wipe the floor with whole teams of cheap programmers that software houses employed. I was a lot more expensive than any one of them, but as I could do more than all of them put together employing people like me was ultimately a massive saving.
    5
  6518. And TTK wonders why there have been riots!
    5
  6519. Heaven and Earth don't need moving. The schools and kids just need to be LEFT ALONE to carry on as they did before all this nonsense started. Kids are at negligible risk from covid-19, and the risk to their teachers was really tiny even before they were vaccinated. Kids deserve a normal life without having their education and mental health buggered to hell just to calm down the cowering snowflakes. Schools and universities should never have had their routines altered in the slightest.
    5
  6520. If they were drilling properly the tanks would be bursting into flames, and their tops would be popping off.🤣
    5
  6521. This mummy's boy, like any truculent child, is having a tantrum because lots of the grown-ups won't do what he wants them to.
    5
  6522. When it comes to food I have a very simple purchasing policy. If it tastes good, and isn't extortionately priced then buy it. Rubbish like Quorn fails on both counts.
    5
  6523. Biden does actually have a good point. We regularly see pictures of people fleeing the Taliban advance, and there are a lot of men among them. Why should Americans be asked to die for people who are too cowardly to defend themselves?

  6525. Her son probably deserves a Darwin Award for not making a dash for the border.

  6526. So a disruptive student can destroy the learning of an entire class and make life hell for everyone, including the teachers, but the school will bend over backwards to keep them. However a student is instantly booted out for just one comment.
    5
  6527. The fact of the matter is that most dentists have more work than they can handle. See how long you have to wait for a root canal by a really good specialist: and that's when you are paying. It's painstaking work, demanding minute attention to detail which can take 3 hours. So why would such a skilled person in so much demand work for the peanuts paid by the NHS?
    5
  6528. A very large number in Chechnya don't even want to be part of the Russian Federation!
    5
  6529. And YouTube is removing comments saying that it should!
    5
  6530. We've had many decades of the "tough man" war on drugs policy and it's had bugger all success. All it's achieved is the creation of an incredibly lucrative industry for criminals (which gangs fight to the death over) and a tsunami of crime by those desperate to fund their addiction. Without these counterproductive laws the price of drugs, and the associated crime, would collapse overnight. You have to do what actually works, not what you think should work, and what your moral indignation prompts you to do. Focus on education and treating those with addiction. While some may find this morally repugnant it's likely to be much more effect, and vastly cheaper, when one looks at the bigger picture.

  6531. Of course Boris didn't inadvertently mislead parliament. He did it on purpose and with full intent!
    5
  6532. So, Olaf, I take it this means that Germany is going to be shipping tons of top of the range weapons to Ukraine ASAP. I won't hold my breath on that!
    5
  6533. And YouTube is also doing its part to help them keep this quite!
    5
  6534. The only thing that's incredible is that with one of the best Uranium mines in the world, and the most stable tectonics, that Australia didn't wholeheartedly embrace nuclear power decades ago.
    5
  6535. At 65 I'm still doing very well on NATURAL IMMUNITY!
    5
  6536. There are an awful lot of highly irrational bed-wetters in Germany, when it comes to nuclear power. I was teaching there when the accident in Japan happen and I remember all the kids rushing to the computers, worried that it would affect Germany. They got this worry from their really dumb parents.

  6538. Can't help wondering if, like Sars-Cov-2, this is another escapee from a Chinese lab.

  6539. Hence the old adage that "liars should have good memories".
    5
  6540. Didn't many of us predict that the floodgates would open if Labour was elected?
    5
  6541. So biting off someone's finger only merits 2 more months in jail than tweeting a few hurty words. What the hell is going on in our courts?

  6543. I think Prigozhin is too uneducated to understand the term Pyric Victory.
    5
  6544. You bring back fond memories of when I lived in Berlin. Within 5 minutes of stepping out of my flat I was in the Grunewald. I could walk along by the Havel for hours. Sometimes I'd walk all the way to Wannsee.
    5
  6545. Things have been going downhill since we lost Margaret Thatcher!
    5
  6546. For some enterprising producer there's a fortune to be made creating a series like "Allo, Allo" or the WW I Black Adder series. Between stealing washing machines and bombing their own cities, the Russian military is the laughing stock of the world.
    5
  6547. Hamas wants the opportunity to regroup and rearm. No prizes for guessing what they will then do.
    5
  6548. As can be easily checked on Google, 25% of the working age population is out of work, and not even looking for work. Are 25% of the people in this age range that you know really too sick to work? Finding money for this massively impacts what's available for the likes of the NHS and education, among other things.
    5
  6549. It certainly is way past time to lift lockdown, but within an hour or so we may well see Boris Johnson renege, YET AGAIN, on his promises for Monday 17th, using the Indian variant as an excuse. Those of us with brains are fairly certain that a desperate Indian government latched on to this excuse in an attempt to deflect the intense anger that is being directed against it. The Indian variant is nothing more than a scapegoat to get them off the hook. The TRUTH is that there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to indicate that this variant is any more infectious, deadly, or will circumvent immunity. If the Indian variant wasn't there we can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that another one would be taking it's place.

  6550. A frightened, desperate, little man, making desperate threats. His generals have family and loved ones. They would be annihilated minutes after Russia launched nukes against NATO. Does anyone really believe that they are prepared to lose them just to keep one pathetic man in power?

  6554. The ONLY way this conflict will end is when Russia is driven completely out of Ukraine, including Crimea, which will lead to the "removal" of Putin from power.

  6555.  @stoufer2000  How about you stop being a snowflake? Where is YOUR source showing that anywhere in history a virus has mutated and made things suddenly a lot worse?

  6556. I wonder how many of those in the places being visited have heard the saying: "You take the Devil's coin, you dance to his tune!"
    5
  6557. Sometimes you have to recognise that there is no diplomatic way to deal with a psychopath. It's like trying to stop a rabid dog from biting you by talking quietly to it. As Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations proved, attempts at diplomacy sometimes just make things much worse.

  6562. Driving into the flood, sounds like someone going for a Darwin Award.

  6563. It should be illegal for nurses to be paid and treated so abysmally!
    5
  6564. And the kids get new happy toy miniatures of Putin and his "strong men", which they can collect and trade to get a set. Once you have a complete set you get a bomb crater in the Ukraine named after you.
    5
  6565. Hey, it's not cheap keeping all those illegals warm, well fed and comfortable. It's estimated that Labour is spending about £45,000 a year on each of them. That's more than double what most hardworking people take home after tax.
    5
  6566. Russia barely managed to service a debt a few days ago, and has been downgraded. It has another much larger debt coming up soon, which it definitely won't be able to pay. When this happens it's rating will be on a par with the poorest of banana republics.
    5
  6567. It's now becoming clear that, in regard to stopping the spread of covid-19, vaccination loses it's efficacy after a few months. Are booster shots every few months, for everybody either practical or safe? Regular booster jabs might keep your antibody count up, which might work, but think about it. Despite 2 billion years of practice and refinement, this is not the way mother nature does it. Could it possibly be because there might be a serious downside to maintaining a high antibody level when it isn't needed? In natural immunity antibody levels plummet, BUT memory B and T cells remain and regenerate antibodies when they are NEEDED. So, yet again, we come back to natural immunity which the government is so keen to disparage, in the face of evidence to the contrary. Large reputable studies in Israel and Cleveland have indicated that natural immunity could be better than vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. Vaccination, and booster shots, should be reserved for the vulnerable. Everyone else should be left to enjoy their life without molestation.
    5
  6568. Am I the only one who remembers how many years ago we used to look after our police and nurses. Up the road from me Chase Farm Hospital used to provide affordable accommodation for nurses. This has long since been knocked down an built on by developers. And when my brother was in the police I can remember him having a room in a section house just a stone's throw from Oxford Street. We now spend far more looking after bloody criminals than we do looking after our nurses and police!

  6569.  @saucyinnit8799  Anything you Putin fanboys say.🤣
    5
  6570. We are talking about mercenaries, not patriots who believe in fighting for a just cause. Most in Wagner are probably thinking of how best to drop off the Kremlin's radar before a fatal "accident" befalls them.

  6571. Try to reason with or negotiate with the Taliban is like trying to stroke a rabid dog.

  6572. Already destroyed, so we need a new party, unless people fancy an eternity of thralldom under Labour.

  6573. Putin was hoping that Trump would only target Ukraine, but just maybe his bluff has been called. If he doesn't agree to Trumps plans then Trump will suffer embarrassment and humiliation: he's not someone to forgive or forget that.

  6576. Whoever decided on this derisory level of compensation needs to be sacked, as do the school management who refused to listen to the older girls. By far my best teaching experience was in Christchurch Girls High School, in New Zealand, where I really enjoyed teaching. However, because of incidents like these there are a lot of men who are terrified of teaching in an all-girls school.

  6577. Would that be as indestructible as Boris's promises and agreements?🤣

  6580. This is just like the pact between Stalin and Hitler, after which Poland was invaded. We need to keep a very close eye on Taiwan.

  6583. Governor DeSantis, across what is now once again a Europe dominated by Nazis, people are looking enviously at Florida, and wishing that they too had politicians willing to do the right and decent thing.

  6584. If the evil Orcs weren't in a country they didn't belong in they would still be alive.
    5
  6585. There's a very good reason we don't let children just eat what they like, go out whenever they like, and choose what they want to study, to name just three things. Teachers letting boys pretend they are girls, and vice versa is incredibly sick. Parents expect their kids to be safe at school. They don't expect teachers to connive in letting them behave in ways that might be incredibly damaging to them.
    5
  6586. Why haven't any contingency plans been put in place to get that grain out of Ukraine by land?
    5
  6587. This is just like the pact between Stalin and Hitler, after which Poland was invaded. We need to keep a very close eye on Taiwan.

  6588. That's kind of the hallmark of Russia MoD videos. There should be a disclaimer at the start or the end" "no military targets were harmed in the making of this video".
    5
  6589. Catherine Bennett needs to keep up to date!
    5
  6590. That's what it was planned to be, before it even started.
    5
  6591. As a country that suffered Hitler's Anschluss Austria, more than most, should appreciate how important a united stand against Putin is. But then, with its appalling compulsory vaccination scheme, earlier on, Hitler's birth country has been showing its true colours. Hungary also seems to have forgotten the brutal manner in which its 1956 uprising was put down by Russia. If Ukraine falls then Russia may well be knocking on its door once more!
    5
  6592.  @jbloomfield44  Oh, those would be the very places where medical "treatments" were forced on people, who didn't want or need them. In case you haven't heard covid-19 kills well under 1%, and almost of those who are at even moderate risk have now been vaccinated. Leave the rest alone!
    5
  6593. Both Alien and Predator were more likable.
    5
  6594. How many times does it have to be said, and how many people have to say it? Supporting Ukraine is the vastly cheaper option, both financially and in terms of lives. If Putin wins in Ukraine he will definitely move on to the Baltic states. The West showing fickle support will also give Emperor Xi the green light to invade Taiwan.
    5
  6595.  @kevinrudd9257  Oh, has one of them already been given a damn good slap? If so it wasn't good enough.
    5
  6596. The only way the Poles will die if Lukashenko and Wagner invade Poland is from excessive laughter. Poland and its NATO allies would wipe out any such invaders in time to get home for tea.
    5
  6597. Congratulations. You probably now have rock solid natural immunity, which is vastly better than anything you would get from these poorly tested vaccines. Your "I've had worse colds" comment is exactly what has these despots pissing themselves.
    5
  6598. Ah, the Australian protocol. That would be dragging off the infected to internment camps, along with those who have been in close contact. Those in close contact are not even allowed to take a test to prove that they are not infected. These camps are just like concentration camps, with fences and viscous guards. Inmates are there for 14 days, BUT the commandant has the power to extend their stay if they "misbehave".
    5
  6599. It may well have been an accident, but would the Iranian regime admit if it wasn't?
    5
  6600. An earlier report was much less calm about the fire, saying it was big and had spread to neighbouring houses. I guess the FSB have had a little talk with the official who gave that earlier account.
    5
  6601. I hope plenty of landlords will give Johnson and Hancock the same treatment.
    5
  6602.  @thomscott1247  Only a complete fool or Putin fanboy would suggest that negotiating with Putin will do Ukraine the slightest good.
    5
  6603. So is the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.
    5
  6604. I'm certainly not against further sanctions, and might even ask whether we should be doing any business at all with Iran. Unfortunately I really don't think that anything the West says or does, in regard to sanctions, is going to make the slightest difference to the behaviour of Iranian clerics and their Revolutionary Guard goons.
    5
  6605. Well that's always been the funny part, in lots of countries. Vaccinated people, who took the vaccines to protect themselves, worrying that they are not protected, while the unvaccinated don't worry at all.
    5
  6606. I'll chip in for the one-way ticket.
    5
  6607. It's not real! Stop getting your knickers in a twist.
    5
  6608. The best way to control current inflation is to put a fair price cap on how much the likes of shell and BP can charge for oil and gas, AND to FORCE them to sell it to the UK. Why should they be allowed to make obscene profits by ripping off 10s of millions?
    5
  6609. Nothing to choose between either of these. It's the difference between someone who spanks the monkey with their right hand, and someone else who does it with their left hand.
    5
  6610. There are an awful lot more who don't even know that their loved ones have long since become dogmeat on some battlefield in Ukraine!

  6612. Cooking Orc Maori style.
    5
  6613. MPs feeling intellectually superior? I can't speak for most people, but currently being read by me are books on Abstract Algebra, Galois Theory, and Differential Geometry: stuff way beyond the intellectual capacity of the vast majority of MPs. And there are plenty of people out there that make even me look dumb.
    5
  6614. As someone who once worked for the Home Office I can tell you that expecting them to "think it through" on anything is wildly wishful thinking!
    5
  6615. Yep. There are few things that upset people more than articulating a TRUTH that they really don't want to acknowledge.
    5
  6616. What is the probability that we will ever again (Thatcher had a chemistry degree) get a PM with a STEM, and not some Noddy one? I tutor all A-level maths topics, including further maths. I have in the past taught I.B. Diploma Higher level maths and given an intensive Easter revision course in it, that was very well received. I also do maths for fun, and have a large bookcase of maths books that include things like Galois Theory and Non-Euclidean Geometry. BUT I would NEVER seek to force students over 16 to do maths. If the subject is taught PROPERLY up to the age of 16 then forcing those who still don't get it to continue with maths really is flogging a dead horse. We all have things that others do with consummate ease, and that we just can't seem to manage, so we invest our time more productively on things that we can do well. Only idiots like Sunak fail to appreciate this.
    5
  6617. @Grinning Idiot Obviously you are too thick to understand the my last sentence allowed that this might be a possibility, but congratulations on choosing such a appropriate pseudonym.
    5
  6618. And I thought that all of Scotland's giant rats could be found in Holyrood.
    5
  6619. It almost always is, and relatively young ones. So lock up your daughters!
    5
  6620. Choosing between Labour and Conservative is a bit like having to choose between being flayed alive or boiled alive. Brits need to man up and have the guts to vote for another party.
    5
  6621. I've got a book showing wonderful outback pictures of Australia that look well worth visiting. HOWEVER, like countless millions of others who previously had Australia on their list I would now rather visit a country that isn't a fascist dictatorship. I wouldn't want to end up in one of the "well camps".
    5
  6622. One pays tax on everything one earns, and most of what one buys. If you own a property you are taxed simply for having it. Is this not enough? While it hasn't and doesn't affect me, I have the decency to recognise that inheritance tax is a totally evil form of taxation, which only the envious support.
    5
  6623. Sorry, but if my husband or father was a pilot I would not want to see them risking their life by flying into Kabul. Especially when the Afghan army and fit young men run away instead of fighting for their own country, and many of the fleeing women are dressed in burqas, with even their eyes covered by a mesh.
    5
  6624. For ages I've been saying set up camps on very remote Scottish islands: St. Kilda comes to mind.
    5
  6625. Even when mainstream media films those caught in the act we don't know who is doing it because they blank out their faces. FFS why?
    5
  6626. Same Russian army same atrocities. Nothing has changed since they butchered 22,000 Polish officers in WW II.
    5
  6627. There's no way a very weak president like Biden would have tried this. Also, far from starting a nuclear war, most Russians would breath a massive sigh of relief if this happened.
    5
  6628. What? You don't like roast Orc?
    5
  6629. The last decent PM we had was Margaret Thatcher. But then she had been a research chemist, with a science degree. When are people going to learn that having a Classics, Geography, or PPE degree is NOT good qualification for running a country?
    5
  6630. If Harry is a spare then he is a spare that already has a flat.
    5
  6631. Would one really expect Worm Tongue to say anything else. Why do so many businesses specifically forbid employees to have second jobs? Because it is a CONFLICT OF INTERESTS!
    5
  6632. I strongly suspect that if a significant proportion of Russia's seized assets had already been given to Ukraine then Putin would already have been "removed" from power. That would have been the quickest, and fairest, road to peace.
    5
  6633. Am I the only one wondering how damaging it is for kids to be adopted by same sex couples?
    5
  6634.  @MJ-vy2uq  Unlikely. They stood meekly by and did nothing as the government buggered their kids education and mental health to hell.
    5
  6635. Give the new variant game a rest. As I said months ago: Coming to a cinema near you, in time for Christmas. The bad-ass Omega variant, that's going to destroy all life on the planet. However, the good news, for those who aren't stupid enough to believe government lies, is that unlike vaccination natural immunity seems to be very good at seeing off variants.
    5
  6636. If the triple lock were being maintained then there would have been a U-turn on Rich Boy Sunak's 3.1% rise in pensions, which is about ONE THIRD of what it should have been!
    5
  6637. I wonder how many cowards will be dishonouring those brave soldiers by wearing masks.
    5
  6638.  @travoltasbiplane1551  Yes, like so many (cowardly) parents you make excuses for NOT fighting for what's best for your children.
    5
  6639. As will the SAGE doom mongers who enjoy scaring them.
    5
  6640. Justice!
    5
  6641. Ukraine is an independent country. If Russia can fly aircraft in Ukrainian airspace against the will of Ukraine, then it's certainly completely acceptable that NATO flies aircraft there at Ukraine's invitation. Never mind giving jets to Ukraine, I don't know about France and Germany, but there are plenty of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just itching to be sent on a mission to clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    5
  6642. It's unwise to ever be certain what a desperate madman is going to do.
    5
  6643. On Saturday I waited 3 hours in an urgent treatment centre to get 4 stiches put in a wound. Most of the rest waiting weren't the sort likely to know the words to "Land of Hope and Glory", if you get my drift. I wonder what the waiting time will be in 2032.
    5
  6644. The trenches won't be much use if Putin hasn't got enough Orcs to fill them.
    5
  6645. BE HONEST! If you are young then the risk posed to you by covid-19 is negligible. If you have had covid-19 then you now have excellent natural immunity that may last a lifetime. Both these groups do not need to take any RISK with these vaccines!
    5
  6646. How many people of working age do you know who are genuinely too sick to work? For most people it certainly won't be more than about 5%. So, how does this square with 25% of the working age population claiming that they aren't well enough to work?
    5
  6647. If a private company went bankrupt then those running would be debarred from running it or any other company. Surely the councilors should be removed from office?
    5
  6648. To be fair, Universities in the US and UK have always had lots of poor little rich kids who feel the world owes them a living and that their opinions are worth more than everybody else's.
    5
  6649. How many times do people have to be told that government NEVER employs the best IT developers. There is literally an order of magnitude difference between the productivity of the best such developers and your average one: with corresponding quality as well. Yes, they cost more, but that extra cost is more than recouped. For about 20 years I worked as a developer, but one of the few places I could get properly remunerated was working freelance in the City of London. You can bet your shirt that government won't pay that kind of money. And, as they say, "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"!
    5
  6650. Maybe now people are starting to understand how the East Germans felt until they overthrew their tyrants.
    5
  6651. There's an old saying: "use it or lose it". Unfortunately, Ukraine doesn't seem to be making much use of those Storm Shadow missiles or cluster munitions. Western taxpayers are going to question whether they should fund more arms if Ukraine seems reluctant to make good use of what it has already been given.
    5
  6652. Driving back is good, but slaughtering Orcs is better. Then they can't come back.
    5
  6653. He's going to give them weight-lifting classes so they can pilfer washing machines without getting a hernia.
    5
  6654. I look forward to the day when we see Zelensky in Crimea, inspecting the ruins of Putin's beloved Kerch bridge.
    5
  6655. Or maybe, like me, you've had covid-19, discovered it's no big deal, and now got rock solid natural immunity.
    5
  6656. While we have spineless Sunak, and his equally spineless cabinet, things will only get worse. And Starmer won't be any better.
    5
  6657. I very much doubt that Putin himself is misinformed. It's simply the case that he is a psychopath who really doesn't care how many of his own Russians he kills. If, as some have reported, he really is suffering from thyroid cancer or Parkinson's, then I suspect he is in a hurry to carve himself as big a page in history as he can, regardless of the cost to anybody else.
    5
  6658. Anyone in the NHS who is honest will tell you that there are about 3 times as many managers and admin staff as are really needed. Getting rid of 2/3rds of these would free up a lot of money for genuinely useful purposes.
    5
  6659. If I'd been the sober soldier I like to think that I would have shot the rapist with hesitation or remorse. One suspects that many Russian conscripts are drafted from the very worst of Russia's jails.

  6660.  @colmx8441  A bad student blames his teachers.

  6661. When it comes to investing in Doncaster the expression "throwing good money after bad" comes to mind.
    5
  6662. SHAMEFUL SCAREMONGERING!
    5
  6663. I hope there were Orcs manning them.
    5
  6664. Unless Iran's military capability is destroyed any ceasefire will just be used to regroup and rearm. And even if Iran is dealt with the former is still likely to occur, but without the means do do anywhere near as much harm.
    5
  6665. Aha, someone telling the hard, but honest, truth that British parents don't want to hear. Most secondary school education in this country is truly abysmal. This is particularly true in maths, further maths, chemistry and physics: all of which I tutor privately at A-level. But you know what? Relatively few of my students come from dyed-in-the-wool English families.
    5
  6666. The best form of defence is attack, so that the Orcs can't launch these attacks in the first place, or know that they will get the same back with hefty interest.
    5
  6667.  @nickyrivernene5921  Well, if ever you needed proof of the government's lying and scaremongering here it is. Both dementia and Alzheimer's typically take years to develop, so there is absolutely no way that the government can claim that covid-19 causes these ailments.
    5
  6668. Let me see, what would I do? Stay at home and starve, or arm myself and take on those who were trying to starve me. I wonder how many well fed fascists are keeping these 26 million locked up. Nowhere near enough if they decided to fight back.
    5
  6669. There are so many stories like this that never seem to make it onto the news. It's little wonder people believe conspiracy theories when things that governments don't want us to hear are suppressed by mainstream media.

  6670. Actually I would suggest baiting those who are woke and oversensitive. I guarantee it's really, really funny winding them up and watching them become almost apoplectic in their outrage. It's some of the best entertainment you can have.

  6671. One can just imagine Harry running to someone with tears streaming down his face: "William hit me".

  6672. Two nuns sharing a bath. 1st nun: Where's the soap? 2nd nun: Yes it does, doesn't it.

  6674. ​ @Matttski  If you look at my previous posts you will see that I had nothing but contempt for Sunak and his circus.

  6675. The variant that the Vietnamese government is claiming as a hybrid of the Kent and Indian variants. A good name for this would be the Pinocchio variant.

  6676. Macron circumvented the democratic process by doing what HE wanted to do without a vote. What exactly does he expect people to do when they feel that democracy has been taken from them?
    5
  6677. How wonderfully "dog in the manger" because you won't enjoy Christmas destroy it for everyone else. I'm single and will probably spend Christmas alone, but I want to know that children will enjoy it, and that those who want to will be able to spend it with those they love. Also, in good measure, the ability to enjoy something like Christmas is more down to one's character than how much money one has.
    5
  6678. Let's be very clear on this. Starmer is ONLY interested in getting his foot in No. 10. Regardless of the pain and suffering, he wants to see things buggered up as much as possible for this government, in the hope that it will increase his chances. That's why he has always very enthusiastically supported every single government restriction. And the more unpopular and damaging the greater has been his support.

  6683. Over 30 years ago I used to work with a South African who was telling me the same horror stories then. Tribalism is alive and well in Africa, and the White Tribe is the most hated by far.

  6684. Neither is anyone voicing any concern that the use of mRNA in vaccines is completely new, so we cannot be certain that there won't be very serious adverse long term effects.

  6692. The piggy bank might be smashed but Rishi still intends to cheat OAPs out of what is already a pitiful state pension, by reneging on the "triple lock" promise. Yet he has already prescribed a similar percentage rise for those on minimum wage, who get about 2.5 times as much as the state pension. Many OAPs already struggle with their food and heating bills, which are set to go through the roof. The triple lock is not an over generous luxury, it is an absolute necessity for many desperately poor OAPs!
    5
  6693. So, you can end up in jail for verbally abusing a Muslim, but it's perfectly OK to abuse those who risked their lives fighting for this country. This is completely unacceptable!
    5
  6694. ​ @seankilburn7200  External exams are "marked to a curve" which means that account is automatically taken of students having had less teaching. More importantly everyone is given the same test, which is the only fair thing to do. It is my experience that all good, hardworking, students prefer external exams. Only the bad and lazy ones hope to get an undeservedly higher grade from a corrupt or incompetent teacher!

  6695. Not only is our rail network a national disgrace, the prices we are charged to travel on it are outrageous.

  6696. Absolutely correct, but it's been a very successful ploy in scaring morons into obedience.

  6697. The mobilisation shows that Putin desperately needs more troops, but it is going very badly. Ukraine needs to take full advantage of this: especially before winter sets in.

    5
  6705. ​ @matthewbaynham6286  It is a scam, you stupid frightened wanker. A freedom of information request in the UK revealed that only 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19 in the last 2 years, and almost all were over 65. Numbers have been obscenely exaggerated everywhere. Morons like you not only believe them but lie to inflate them further.
    5
  6706. As others have pointed out those parents who send their kids to private schools are saving the state the 1000s of pounds it would cost to educate their kids. So they are already being heavily taxed. If most state schools weren't so bloody awful then there definitely wouldn't be a thriving private school sector. Private schools don't fare well in countries where state education is good! Stramer should be thinking of how to improve our abysmal state schools, rather than how to damage private ones.

  6707. Only really bad things!

  6708. Meloni has just demonstrated how intensely stupid she is. Modi is an incredibly corrupt and self-serving man who doesn't give a damn about most Indians. While he lives in 21st century luxury countless millions of Indians are living in the kind of squalor and poverty that would make even a slave-driving Victorian mill owner blush with shame.

  6709. What the PM is really looking for is an excuse to throw out standards and regulations, BUT with somebody else to blame it on when everything goes pear-shaped.
    5
  6710. We don't need actors. The vast majority of patients weren't put in hospital by covid-19. They were admitted for something else, and covid-19 was subsequently detected. On might just as well say that the frilly underwear a patient was found to be wearing when admitted was what put them there. Also, hospitals often get extra money for every admission that they blame on covid-19.
    5
  6711. What would be even more refreshing is YouTube not removing comments that criticise Putin or Hamas.

  6717. Woke police: See no evil Hear no evil Speak no evil The last one means that they never criticise those of a certain ethnicity or religious persuasion.
    5
  6718. I see that one thing Ukraine has been badly infected with is the vastly excessive fuss we in the West make about mental health. Most of the time we diagnose problems that either aren't there, or that given a little time will resolve themselves just as well, if not better, than some bloody shrink. However did people like my father manage without all this nonsense. He spent two years in a Russian labour camp, watching fellow prisoners die, and the rest of the war fighting with the British. Despite the subsequent nightmares, like most others, he got over it by himself!

  6719. Are we seeing the results of more effective weapons arriving, because there seem to be more heartening reports of Orcs and their equipment being destroyed. The BBC is also reporting that Snake Island has been cleared of its Orc infestation.

  6720. YouTube bot removed comment suggesting that excess deaths might continue for decades and include Type I diabetes and early onset dementia. Also didn't like it being pointed out that predicting this well beforehand is very much in line with scientific methodology.

  6721. I can't help but remember how Pakistan gave refuge to the Taliban when they were having a hard time in Afghanistan. Something about roosting chickens comes to mind.
    5
  6722. Why hasn't that school and the teacher been named? Because a lot of parents would want to move their kids from it, or not send them there in the first place.

    5
  6733. The ones that this tyrannous and vindictive government have really punished are those in Australia's hospitality industry. So many people have been utterly disgusted at the treatment of Novak and, long after covid-19 is over, they will now choose to holiday elsewhere. Once again, people are thinking Botany Bay whenever they think about Australia.

N'est-il pas insensé qu'un criminel qui a fait du tort à la société continue à le faire parce que nous devons payer pour le garder en prison. Il y a tellement de tâches d'infrastructure et d'environnement sur lesquelles les prisonniers pourraient être obligés de travailler pour améliorer notre pays.

  6739. I've got utter contempt for Sunak, and most of his ministers, but swapping the Tories for Labour would be like swapping a common cold for antibiotic resistant tuberculosis.
    5
  6740. Most decent people will also be elated. If Dick(head) had prioritized fighting REAL crime instead of persecuting people for sitting on park benches, and breaking up peaceful demonstrations, then Sarah Everard would definitely still be alive. This woman has blood on her hands!

  6741. Russia would do very well to remember that Ukraine has plenty of really easy access to very nasty radioactive materials, needed to make dirty bombs or drones that could contaminate their entire cities, if exploded or shot down above them. And it doesn't need the Ukraine state to pursue such a course of action, just a few determined individuals who want to get payback.

  6743. Exactly!
    5
  6744.  @DavidJones-ww9yb  ​ @DavidJones-ww9yb You are so right. All of the following required no practical skills whatsoever: 1. Flooring and insulating my loft. 2. Wallpapering most of my house. 3. Adding lots of electrical sockets. 4. Moving radiators. 5. Tiling the floor and walls of my kitchen, and completely refitting it, including plumbing in the sink. 6. Completely re-landscaping the garden, including taking down lots of trees and removing their roots.
    5
  6745. ​ @garystevens8598  You really aren't that bright are you? Have you any idea what a plumber or electrician typically charges per hour? They also typically visit several clients a day. So sharing the £12.50 between them will make a NEGLIGIBLE difference to their bill.

  6746. Keep on crying, Putin rent boy.
    5
  6747. Myself and others gave people the same advice we give about being offered drugs. Just say no! If you were stupid enough to take an incredibly poorly tested vaccine, against something that posed such a tiny risk to most, then you brought any misfortune on yourself.

  6752. Going against parliamentary procedure is what dictators do. Unless France's highest courts are completely corrupt they will immediately strike out any legislation that parliament has not approved. I feel for the French who now seem to be living, once more under a Vichy government. Though, to be honest, the French probably enjoyed more freedom under the last one.
    5
  6753. I see that YouTube have hidden my post about my father's experience in a Russian labour camp: disgraceful!
    5
  6754. We have all seen numerous examples of two-tier policing on TV and social media, and the vast majority KNOW, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, that it's happening, and has been for a long time. Are we all wrong and just a few like Kirkham and Starmer right?
    5
  6755. Between rivers drying up, fires, a just announced earthquake, and serious financial issues, one would have thought that Child Xi had enough to keep him out of mischief, without wanting to become emperor of Taiwan.
    5
  6756. Dealing with the UK's very serious problems should have taken precedence over the vastly excessive fuss that's been made over someone who at 96 had a damn good run for her money. It's totally unacceptable that the government sat on its arse for the last 10 days!
    5
  6757. Whatever the truth is, one fact is indisputable. It's unwise and naive to believe anything that Moscow says.
    5
  6758. ​ @JesusIncarnationYHWH  I don't really mind my posts being removed. What I do object to is dishonest YouTube script kiddies or channels manipulating posts to give the impression that certain sentiments and opinions that are very widely held aren't.

  6759. It's a well documented fact that this kind of thing went on under Stalin, and Putin is just as mad and bad.

  6768. I wonder if we are soon going to see Nicola also charged.
    5
  6769. We need a Nuremberg style court to try most countries' "leaders" for their grave mishandling of this pandemic. Unfortunately we would no longer be able to then take them out and hang them.

  6772.  @d.jparer5184  Maybe I ignored it because, unlike you, I didn't think he made a brilliant point.
    5
  6773. The government doesn't have the backbone to deal with ANYTHING that requires hard calls!
    5
  6774. There is a very sensible procedure that all nations should immediately agree on. Illegals should be sent straight back to the country they were in before their attempted illegal entry. Follow the chain back and they will eventually be returned to their own country.
    5
  6775. As these lawyers will tell you: "pedophiles and terrorists have rights too".
    5
  6776. Shameful! These kids are at NEGLIGIBLE RISK from covid-19. What kind of parent allows them to be used as lab rats. It's like watching Dr. Mengele go to work in one of his concentration camps.
    5
  6777. I just made a similar comment. This really is laughably pathetic.
    5
  6778. And the sooner the better!
    5
  6779. Sadly, "rolling over" sums things up perfectly. People didn't put up the slightest fight to defend their civil liberties. The government has noted this and so will not hesitate to repeat the exercise whenever it suits them. I'm sorry to say this, but I think the only way that UK governments will think twice about doing this again is if someone goes postal and is successful in taking out the PM and some of his ministers, or maybe some of their families. Unless it is very clear that tyranny carries a very high price then our liberties and freedoms are no longer safe. And let us never forget that these freedoms and liberties have always been won at the point of a sword. Magna Carta was not something the King signed willingly, and parliament, which has now betrayed us, was made a strong institution by cutting off the head of another king.
    5
  6780. Little fear of being caught, and even less of getting the punishment they deserve!
    5
  6781. The risk that this virus poses to children is negligible. In fact, and seasonal flu actually poses a greater risk to young people. Because we are dealing with very large numbers you will get some children in hospital, and a few will even die, and with older people now vaccinated the percentage of children we see in hospital will increase. Contrary to what dishonest scaremongers would have you believe the risk to kids is not increasing. Large and reputable studies in both Israel and Cleveland appear to show that natural immunity is superior to that conferred by vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. It is totally unethical to vaccinate kids.
    5
  6782. So true.
    5
  6783. One would have thought that being a psychopath oneself would give some insight into the behaviour of other psychopaths. Did it really not occur to Prigozhin that Putin would never accept the Wagner group stealing his thunder, and that of his generals?
    5
  6784. If only we could market scenes of snogging going on in Downing Street we would have the most effective and successful weight loss package ever.
    5
  6785. Is anyone really fooled by this? Replacing A-levels is like repapering and painting your house, because it is suffering from serious subsidence. A-levels are fine. It's the quality of those teaching them and the entitled attitude of many students that's the real problem. For the past 10 years, since returning from teaching overseas, I have been privately tutoring A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. I can more or less handle almost anything on sight that students need help with in these subject. So why aren't I in a school? The main reason is that I would have to be paid at the top of the main teaching pay scale, and most schools won't pay that kind of money: not that it's that much. The other reasons are that I am not prepared to do unnecessary admin, be bullied into working vastly excessive hours, or put up with the appalling behaviour that so many teachers accept as a normal part of the job.
    5
  6786. If some honest MP like Desmond Swayne was going to become leader then I would be celebrating. Unfortunately whoever takes over will be just as bad or worse.
    5
  6787. Most of us who aren't anti-Semitic Hamas supporters KNEW from the start that this was a Hamas attack.
    5
  6788. Not only did men have to work 5 years more, they generally die younger than women. That "compensation" could be far better spent on employing more nurses or doctors, or paying them better.
    5
  6789. It hasn't been alright in this country for several decades. Why do you think so few really capable people go into teaching?
    5
  6790. Well, being devious and deceptive is a major part of most lawyers' job description, so no surprise there.
    5
  6791. Being able to destroy railway lines and fuel depots, on the RUSSIAN side of the border, which are crucial to Putin's mobilisation, is defensive. As is being able to take out Russian ships in the Black Sea, that are shelling the crap out of Ukraine's southern cities. We should be supplying Ukraine with the arms that will allow it to do this, ASAP.
    5
  6792. Isn't it funny how police were able, and eager, to break up a much larger vigil for Sarah Everard, who one of their own had raped and murdered. Yet they weren't able to deal with this much smaller group.
    5
  6793. One can almost imagine a head of state visiting Hitler and being given a tour of a death camp.

    5
  6795. A very frightened little man who is desperately blabbering to try and save his own skin. He's like some animal making a pathetic treat display to try and scare off the predator that's about to eat him.
    5
  6796. The UN protecting Hamas and Hezbollah wouldn't surprise me in the least!
    5
  6797. There was a really good study, mentioned a few weeks ago by Dr. Campell, which reported that the vast majority of masks were completely useless. Of course YouTube and Facebook are still incredibly quick to censor anything that goes against what governments told us in regard to masks, natural immunity, and "vaccine" efficacy or safety.
    5
  6798. I'm always amazed that people as thick as Harry can be arrogant.

  6800. Freedom from tyranny and tyrants!
    5
  6801. Well, there's never bed a better time for those who want out to make their move.
    5
  6802. This man is unbelievably thick to try and sell such a story. The incredible turbulence generated at hypersonic speeds makes the kind of accuracy necessary to hit such a small target impossible.
    5
  6803. Yep, no wonder a centre has been firebombed.
    5
  6804. The 10%, on average, excess deaths that are only happening in many of the most developed countries, which COINCIDENTLY had access to a certain very new vaccine technology, have not been explained.

  6805. With the bodies that were recently recovered, am I the only one asking if many of those hostages are still alive?

  6807. Fatimah Hossaini if most of those in Afghanistan were like you the country wouldn't be in the dire mess that it's now in. I hope you stay safe and can continue your work.
    5
  6808. What a common woman. I feel really sorry for a daughter with a mother like this. While I don't condone what Insulate Britain is doing, I don't think stupid people like this woman appreciate just how much we could reduce CO2 emissions with good insulation, or just how badly climate change might eventually affect her daughter.
    5
  6809. Actually that's exactly what the most capable people have been doing for decades. The quality of most UK teachers isn't particularly high. But parents don't want to hear this.
    5
  6810. Liz Truss is another of those thick politicians with a PPE degree. But from the insane way she acted I'm betting that her grades in the E part were particularly bad.
    5
  6811. And why do the UN portray them as victims?
    5
  6812. And North Korea, and China.
    5
  6813. The parents also let it happen.
    5
  6814. Sorry, but I feel far more for all those Italians who have had their businesses and jobs destroyed by lockdown. My heart also goes out to all those young people who have had their education and mental health destroyed. This virus kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. It cannot be morally acceptable to sacrifice the other 999 just to slightly prolong the lives of many who would die soon anyway.
    5
  6815. Fifty years ago these planes might have been a big deal. Now they are very easy to shoot down.
    5
  6816. Time to remedy the mistake and deport them!
    5
  6817. Before I even clicked I knew exactly what I was going to see: 1. Helicopter be prepared. 2. Helicopter taking off and flying. 3. Helicopter shooting. 4. No convincing evidence of anything significant being hit. Compare this with the many, many Ukrainian videos which clearly show Russian stuff, and pigs, being toasted.
    5
  6818. If Starmer and Labour's support hadn't enabled No.10 to institute lockdowns then most of these small businesses wouldn't need help! There was large Tory backbench resistance to lockdowns, so they wouldn't have been possible without Labour's support.
    5
  6819. I was about to say the same.
    5
  6820. @Truth Hurts The ones who are supporting the military's illegal coup.
    5
  6821. Well that's one promise down. Now what about breaking the "triple lock" promise and robbing old age pensioners blind? Energy bills are about to go through the roof, and any honest doctor will tell you that old people need to keep warm. On top of this food prices are also expected to shoot up. When one considers that someone, really struggling, on minimum wage gets about 2.5 times as much as the state pension that 8% rise doesn't seem particularly generous or extravagant. But you're far more likely to see a leopard change it's spots than a Tory treating our poor old people equitably.
    5
  6822. A lot of decent people will probably be sending back or refusing honours. However didn't the queen herself give Blair this honour? This seems to confirm what many of us have suspected for some time now, that she is suffering from dementia.

  6823. Well said Alastair, though saying online "learning" is not the same is being exceedingly generous. The truth is that online learning is a piss-poor alternative to being in the classroom with a teacher. For many years now I've always turned down requests to teach over the internet, because I'm not prepared to cheat students. Even though it would have been easy money for me, I have always advised students to find a teacher who can be in the same room as them. I'm not alone in this sentiment. Katharine Birbalsingh, head of the Michaela Community School is on record as saying "there is no such thing as good online learning". With this virus posing a negligible threat to kids, and a really tiny one to most of their teachers, schools should have carried on as normal throughout this facade: and exams should never have been cancelled. No evidence has ever been produced that shutting schools has reduced infections! If most teachers had had a shred of integrity they would have refused to go along with buggering kids' education and mental health to hell. However, what amazes me the most is that parents put up zero resistance to seeing their kids sold down the river.

  6824. Their Headmaster doesn't give a toss about them!
    5
  6825. That's what this "inquiry" should be asking about, if it wasn't a total whitewash. It should also be asking whether 95% of those vaccinated, with poorly tested vaccines, should have been.
    5
  6826. As I've said many times before, there's an easy way to really help the NHS and education. Make it a condition of being an MP that you and your immediate family are not allowed to use private medical services or schools.
    5
  6827. I wonder how many appreciate just how much they have been screwed by their work shy and cowardly teachers.
    5
  6828. This wouldn't be happening if most people had had the sense to vote for Reform UK!
    5
  6829. Actually the REAL experts, like Professor Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, who were ignored!
    5
  6830. Short of sending in the gun boats, as in the days of the British Empire, the only thing the government can do to discourage hostage taking is to NEVER negotiate for them. But when they take this stance people get upset.
    5
  6831. That's exactly what should be playing in the background, instead of the annoying sound effects.
    5
  6832. What would also be really damaging would be handing over all of Russia's confiscated assets to Ukraine.
    5
  6833. I made a similar comment.

  6834. If it were me I'd immediately dress in Israeli colours and wear a tie with the star of David prominently displayed on it.

  6835.  @See_thru_it_all  That quote sums it up perfectly. Like a disease, if you don't eradicate it then it keeps coming back. Some diseases we can live with, but I don't think the Taliban and their ilk are among them.
    5
  6836. Maybe a little less bad, but nonetheless deeply offensive to any decent honest person.
    5
  6837. As others have pointed out. What starts as cruelty to animals often moves on to humans.

  6839. Any ordinary person can see that Putin has no intention of ending this war.

  6840. People who are slavering over the prospects of tax cuts need to ask themselves if this is the price that they are prepared to pay. They also need to ask themselves whether this would be necessary is so many weren't milking the benefits gravy train.

  6841. Democracy may be the best system we have, but it needs a little tweaking, so that people can't elect complete nut jobs.

  6842. I don't recall any reports of him crying on Oct 7th.
    5
  6843. Some end up on the street through getting a bad break, but as the reporter said, a lot are psychotic nut jobs. They need to be rounded up and locked up in some institution for the protection of themselves and everybody else. Taking one of these into your home would be like adopting a rattle snake!
    5
  6844. Dude in the same way that your mummy told you there's no Father Christmas, didn't anyone ever explain that a politician's promise is worth diddly-squat. Mind you. I've little sympathy for a Dr. Mengele style airline that want's to force poorly tested vaccines on people who don't need them.

  6852. The sooner that trouble, and the worse it is, the better for innocent women and children.

  6853. Never has the nickname Worm Tongue suited many others as well as it does Grant Shapps. If I ever feel the need to go on a diet I'll hang pictures of him and Michael Gove on my walls.
    5
  6854. If only!
    5
  6855. A very apt place to demonstrate, as this remembers those who gave their lives fighting against the kind of despotic Nazi oppression that most Australians are now enduring. And in true Nazi style the Gestapo pigs used teargas and rubber bullets against peaceful protestors. However these pigs don't seem so tough when they are up against big strong construction workers who can, and will, fight back!

  6856. That expression about "two birds with one stone" immediately springs to mind.

  6857. Ignoring Witless Whitty (though sadly only once) is about the only thing Hancock did right!

  6858. Boris's government may be pretty useless, but it does serve one very important role, keeping what would be Scumbag Starmer's far worse government out of power!

  6862. This is why in Russian MoD Film Studios' productions you only ever see planes taking off, firing into the empty sky, and then landing.
    5
  6863. Very true. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. What does this say about the schmucks that have been fooled time and time again?
    5
  6864. Well, they say you learn something new everyday. I thought that, being an ancient continent, Australia was very stable tectonically and didn't suffer serious earth tremors.

  6865. Am I the only one who thinks that if someone can afford jewelry then they can well afford the ULEZ charge?
    5
  6866.  @criticalwokeracisttheory4645  Still very low.
    5
  6867. Why Siberia chooses to stay in the Russian Federation is unfathomable. It is very rich in natural resources, which Moscow plunders on a massive scale. And what do they get in return? Their young men sent off to die in a war that is of no benefit to them, and poses absolutely no risk to Siberia. The Siberian people need to take full advantage of a greatly weaken Moscow and secede from Putin's evil empire: which many other regions would also like to do.
    5
  6868. What's the daily ration of bananas for being a Putin fanboy?
    5
  6869. Let's hope these missiles are delivered within days, rather than months.
    5
  6870. Most normal people will be utterly revolted and disgusted by these pictures. People are free to do what they like in their own private lives, but there's no good reason to ram it down the throats of the rest of us.
    5
  6871. I'll never understand the hero worship of Churchill. He wasn't particularly bright, and was well known for behaving like a bullying sulky child.
    5
  6872. Covid-19 poses a negligible kids, and such a small one to most of their teachers, that schools should never have closed at all, and exams should never have been cancelled. There has also never been any solid scientific evidence that keeping schools running normally would have significantly increased the spread of infection. We have sacrificed the education and mental health of our children purely to pacify a bunch of cowardly, selfish snowflakes. We don't need to vaccinate kids, just mandate that, come hell or high water, schools will operate as they used to, and no kid will be tested or sent home. To paraphrase Pink Floyd: "Snowflake, leave that kid alone!"
    5
  6873. Something for Russia to be proud of. There are few countries in the world that do corruption better.
    5
  6874. In Nazi Germany individual freedoms counted for absolutely nothing. The Nazi police were just as vicious as the Australian police in imposing their dictators' will on the people.
    5
  6875. I made a similar comment about the same time, but I guess YouTube is hiding it.
    5
  6876. Damn clever those Orcs, being able to fire on all those invisible Ukrainians. Then again, they say Orcs can see in the dark.
    5
  6877. We have 1000s of uninhabited islands on which very large secure prisons could be built much more easily than on the mainland. Also because they can't escape from an island we could force the prisoners themselves to build them!

  6878.  @paulhumphreys-gw3po  Tory values - serving oneself.
    5
  6879. Most Brits didn't have the intelligence and courage to vote for the party they really wanted. Now Labour has a massive majority and so we are stuck with them for another 4½ years, no matter how many sign the petition.
    5
  6880. ​ @dougla82airborne  This suggests an incredibly easy resolution. Taiwan formerly renounces any claim on China, and China formerly renounces any claim on Taiwan.
    5
  6881. With the Wagner group's commander openly talking about withdrawal, this may indeed be the case.
    5
  6882. Emperor Xi wants Taiwan.
    5
  6883. I wonder how many people are truly against immigration? After the war lots of Polish (my father included) ended up in this country. We also have a lot of Chinese, and of course Irish (my mother). There is also a substantial Indian community who make a vital contribution to this country. I certainly owe a lot to Indian doctors and dentists. So the problem is really only about people from certain countries, and with certain cultural beliefs and attitudes, who simply don't fit in here, and never will, because they are absolutely determined not to.
    5
  6884. What kind of sick judge thinks that eight years jail is enough for targeting a 3 year-old girl, and then targeting her again at 14?
    5
  6885. All decent Brits, who value and respect our Jewish citizens, want to see this evil policeman sacked. Also the equally evil Metropolitan Police Commissioner, who didn't get rid of him, needs to go. What we have all witnessed is like something straight out of Nazi Germany!
    5
  6886. I've just mentioned that it told the truth about the vast number of massive anti-lockdown protests, whose news was vigorously suppressed by most UK media.
    5
  6887.  @HowlinWilf13  Now, now, the Putin bot is already weeping heavily.
    5
  6888. Air balloon holidays, where you are provided with a high velocity air rifle to shoot holes in the dinghies.
    5
  6889. Ukraine has never properly responded to drones and missiles launched on its cities. The result is that this happens again and again and again!
    5
  6890. Great! Two expensive aircraft and several Orcs, at least two of whom required a lot of training.
    5
  6891. People were warned that voting for either the Tories of Labour was like turkeys voting for Christmas. The only difference was how they were going to be stuffed!
    5
  6892.  @CARBONHAWK1  Which is exactly why they are now using Iranian weapons.

  6894. They are very good at drinking vodka.
    5
  6895. Yes. That was a proper de-Nazification operation.
    5
  6896. Put new prisons on some uninhabited island. Do we really care if criminals can't receive visitors?
    5
  6897. Yep, if we could export them the UK would have a much smaller population.
    5
  6898. Well Sky News, why aren't you publishing their addresses so that we can firebomb them?
    4
  6899. I'm guessing that that "foreign man" wasn't from Western Europe, North America or Australasia.
    4
  6900. Only when lots of people make a strong stand against this fascism.
    4
  6901. What a contrast to the UK, where the government has carte blanche to up the retirement age and renege on the "triple lock" without so much as a murmur from the British public.
    4
  6902. The U-turns were absolutely right and necessary, but making Kwasi the scapegoat was cowardly and dishonourable as he was doing EXACTLY what Truss had told him to do.
    4
  6903. I wonder how the economy in Sweden, which didn't have totally unnecessary lockdowns, is doing.
    4
  6904. We would be in a much better position to tackle this if we hadn't had totally unnecessary, and insanely damaging, lockdowns and restrictions. And in the face of fierce Tory backbench opposition they could never have happened without Starmer's unflinching support of No.10!
    4
  6905. And what does this teach us? Going swimming in a burka can seriously damage your health!
    4
  6906. And get happier with our decision the more we learn with every passing day!
    4
  6907. Do not pass GO, do not collect your overly generous pension, and go directly to jail!
    4
  6908. What's the difference between modesty and prudishness?
    4
  6909. Time to put NATO boots, in a humanitarian role, on the ground in the Kherson region. Of course, they would need to have carte blanche to take whatever action is needed against anyone obstructing such a mission of mercy.
    4
  6910. Western sanctions must be causing many Russian oligarchs living in the West quite a bit of pain. In their shoes I would be paying some Russian Mafia hitman to take out Putin. I suspect that for a few million, which is small change to these guys, even one of Putin's bodyguards would be very happy to do the job.
    4
  6911. Another Putin rent boy making no sense whatsoever.
    4
  6912. Cry me a river, Putin rent boy.
    4
  6913. People like you, in 1930's Germany said the same thing about Hitler.
    4
  6914. I needed my good laugh for the day. I knew a Russian MoD video would do the trick. As usual, "no Ukrainian soldiers or military equipment was harmed in the making of this video". Can't say the same about animals as they might have wasted the odd rabbit.
    4
  6915. Those longer range weapons are making a difference. Let's keep them coming!
    4
  6916. I was about to post something like this. And there are probably similar levels of corruption in the council.
    4
  6917. If Sunak doesn't want to preserve the Union then he's in touch with general sentiment. Most of us would really like to be rid of Northern Ireland!
    4
  6918. It's like a black comedy. First Putin's cook ends up running Wagner, and now his bodyguard is going to sort out Kursk. I wonder what task his barber will soon be assigned?
    4
  6919. Let me see, what would I prefer? To not get sick by avoiding these rushed through, and poorly tested vaccines, or to get a bit of money for what might possibly be a life changing side effect. Personally, the government can shove its vaccines and compensation.
    4
  6920. After such a massive Israeli study it's no longer "may be", it's a dead certainty. The now well established facts, also relevant to the Delta variant, are: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting, and may even last a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity.
    4
  6921. Nobody forced these people to do drugs in the first place!
    4
  6922. It is important that Starmer accepts that MOST people have very serious worries over illegal and inappropriate immigration. It is important that Starmer understands that almost everyone has witnessed multiple (sometimes sickening) examples of two-tier policing, and that telling them not to believe their own eyes makes them very angry.
    4
  6923. I'd be more likely to believe a video showing Putin with Swastikas on the diapers that he wears.
    4
  6924. To be honest boxing should go the same way as cock fighting and dog fighting. We are now very wary of dementia in rugby players, or footballers who head the ball. I wonder just how much study has been done in regard to dementia in boxers, and how much of it has been made public. Subjecting the brain to sudden jerks is ALWAYS bad. It really is that simple.
    4
  6925. Most of our state schools are also broken. But you know what? Those with the power really don't give a toss, because they and their families have excellent access to private health and private schools. I've always said that a condition of service for MPs should be that they and their immediate family are not allowed to use private healthcare or private schools. Do this and we will see both improve both rapidly and dramatically!
    4
  6926. Our bent supreme court judges might like to follow thus honest judge's example, and strike down the vaccine mandate for out NHS staff.
    4
  6927. Am I the only one wondering just how many million of those 9.4 million of working age (that's 25%!) are getting benefits when they could be working? It seems to me that this is where truly massive savings could be made.
    4
  6928. Why is the kid's face hidden? Maybe so that someone else doesn't produce another video showing him/her in perfect health, and playing. Of course, there would be far less civilian casualties if Hamas didn't use them as human shields!
    4
  6929. That's why we have live fire exercises.
    4
  6930. The birch worked really well in the Isle of Man. Things quickly went south when the human rights do-gooders stopped it use.
    4
  6931. J'aimerais vraiment voir cela se produire à Moscou.
    4
  6932. Sadly, a lot of Austrians are supporting their fascist government. Just as many "good" Germans supported the government in 1930s Germany. And we all know what that led to.
    4
  6933. The ONLY thing that our pro-Hamas police regret is the anger that all decent people in this country feel towards them!
    4
  6934. With so many people now vaccinated the 'sensible accommodations' that 'listen to the science', rather than the scaremongers, is simply to drop all this quarantine nonsense. Anybody who really believes that it serves any useful purpose now is truly mentally challenged!
    4
  6935. A back of envelope calculation suggests this is costing the taxpayer around £2.5 billion a year!
    4
  6936. There are an awful lot of Scots who would dearly love to see Sturgeon sharing a cosy cell with big, butch Berta.
    4
  6937. Definitely not a military target. Psycho Putin really is like one of those very nasty kids who, out of pure vindictiveness breaks everybody else's toys.
    4
  6938. If Ukraine's special ops started taking out Moscow's infrastructure then maybe it would discourage what's being done to them. Blowing up two shopping malls in the last few days was good, but it was very belated, and a lot more of this needs to be done right now.
    4
  6939. Can he even find the bathroom these days?

  6940. Let's go through some of what Tom has said today in response to the first three questions. With regard to antibodies it is very well know among those with some knowledge of biology that antibody count declines with time, and may disappear completely. What this emphatically does not mean is that you are no longer immune. There are things like memory T-cells that may well hang around for the rest of your life. If you are exposed to the virus (or sometimes just a similar one) again then your immune system will very quickly churn out fresh antibodies. As part of the government's scaremongering any mention of this has been assiduously avoided. Related to the second question is the now well established fact that systemic side effects, from vaccination, are much more common and severe in people who have previously had covid-19, as opposed to those who have never been infected. This is an immune response to the antigens produced by the vaccine that you didn't need, because you were already immune. Tom gives a good honest answer to the third question, about vaccinated (or naturally immune) people spreading the virus. I spit curses every time that I see Boris wearing a mask or bumping elbows. This is pure propaganda. As soon as he came out of hospital he was immune and so he could have gone round French kissing people with almost negligible risk of them catching covid-19.
    4
  6941.  @grahamstull2330  Yes I suppose it was a bit thoughtless. Somebody might have been eating then dinner when I evoked that image.
    4
  6942. Why are governments and courts going against what probably over 95% of us hold to be correct, and simple common sense? Whether you are a man or a woman is an irrefutable biological fact that cannot be changed by drugs, surgery or what you want to "identify" as.
    4
  6943. What opposition? Even when his own party has rebelled against covid-19 restrictions, Scumbag Starmer has staunchly supported Boris, despite the fact that these restrictions have crucified the working class.
    4
  6944. Like British Airways, Quantas is one of the world's most hated airlines!
    4
  6945. I'm reminded of a classroom incident about 10 years ago. I was writing on the board, with my back to a top stream of 16 year-olds. Someone made a silly noise, so without turning round I made the comment that the noise sounded pretty retarded. I was amazed to find that some woke student had gone running to our woke head of studies to complain that their sensitivity had been deeply offended by my use of that word. But it gets much funnier. I had to coach softball, and often my students could be heard shouting "you retard" across the field to one another. God, how that director of studies hated me!
    4
  6946. We have all seen this, but neither the Tories nor Labour want to stop it. This is where Farage could get an awful lot of money from to fund his manifesto!
    4
  6947. I don't know if it's still happening there, but for many years tech firms in the US lobbied for extra visas to employ I.T. staff, claiming there weren't enough. However there were countless tales on the internet about skilled American workers being made to train new Indian recruits prior to be fired. All too often it's not the case that there is a skill shortage, but rather that there is a shortage of people prepared to work their arse off for next to nothing.
    4
  6948. For the sake of the American people, and indeed the whole world, I really do hope the judge has the integrity and courage to jail Trump: until at least after the presidential election.
    4
  6949. Isn't it funny how the police were EAGER to wade in on that peaceful Sarah Everard vigil, which wasn't inconveniencing anybody, but won't arrest these nut jobs who are breaking the law by obstructing the roads.
    4
  6950. Why is it that a completely peaceful, and non-threatening vigil for Sarah Everard was broken up with the zeal of Nazi stormtroopers, yet these dangerous Muslim fundamentalists are given free reign?
    4
  6951. There are now so many people under 30 not even looking for work. It would be incredibly good for both these people, and the country, if they were forced to do 2 years National Service.
    4
  6952. This is why it's worth paying a little more to choose who you fly with.
    4
  6953. Not just lefty lawyers. Don't forget all the bent ones, who make shed loads of money helping people who shouldn't be here stay in the country. Of course, the these two categories aren't mutually exclusive.
    4
  6954. Young people should not be going into politics at all. First you get a PROPER job and contribute something to society. Only when you are a bit more mature and worldly wise should you even consider trying to tell those older and more experienced what they should do.
    4
  6955. My similar comment got deleted by YouTube - the criminals' friend.
    4
  6956. While we are at it, can we please have a ban on showing Michael Gove before the watershed, as it frightens the children.
    4
  6957. With so many desperate to escape from North Korea, I wouldn't be surprised in many North Korean troops are readying themselves to surrender to Ukrainian forces at the first opportunity.
    4
  6958. The problem is selfish motorists, who think being able to drive whenever and wherever they want is more important than our children's health and lives. I live in Enfield, right on the edge of London, and I can tell you that public transport is more than adequate. So many people who insist they need a car are LYING!
    4
  6959. Even with refined oil isotopic analysis can determine where that oil originated. Or could it be that those sanctions are just posturing?
    4
  6960. News just breaking suggests that all traffic on his most beloved bridge is now permanently stalled.
    4
  6961. The bill doesn't go nearly far enough. Imagine that you suffered some severe life-changing injury that sucked all the joy out of your life. Would you like to be condemned to live like that for years, or maybe decades to come?
    4
  6962. When you have "leaders" with Noddy degrees like PPE, Classics, and Geography, it's hardly surprising you get this kind of shambles. This country needs leaders with proper degrees, in things like physics, engineering and maths. Sadly most of us with such degrees wouldn't waste our time on a none to bright and fickle electorate.
    4
  6963.  @El.Cid17  The trouble is that most of their advisors have similar Noddy degrees, and are "yes men" who tell them what they want to hear.
    4
  6964. ​ @LordCaptainFather  The Ukrainians are a courageous people who deserve our support. The Afghans never did.
    4
  6965. Before too long these protests are going to turn into lynchings!
    4
  6966. The people in Iran have had many years to pick these psychopaths off, one by one, in dark alleys. It really isn't that hard to do, and if most of the people had shown a little courage Iran would now be a very different country.
    4
  6967. If greedy, selfish people hadn't been allowed to buy second homes then maybe young people could have brought property locally and been tempted to stay!
    4
  6968. Well, imagine the reaction if the general population learned that they had been coerced into taking something dangerous that they absolutely didn't need. Imagine the reaction of parents who were told it was safe to give this to their children, who were at negligible risk from Covid.
    4
  6969. I suppose, having a classics degree, Boris is pretty clueless about how immunity works. If you have EVER had covid-19 (even asymptomatically) and recovered from it, or if you now have had both jabs for over a couple of weeks then it really doesn't matter which country you travel to: choose a colour, any colour. Immune people do not need to have their travel restricted, or undergo further testing, or quarantine. The chance of them catching, let alone importing covid-19, is negligible. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar, and a snowflake drama queen.

  6971. People are finally getting wise to the fact that governments have lied through their teeth to them, in order to frighten them into giving up their freedom and human rights. They are tired of being repeatedly locked down when, repeatedly all over the world, it has been clearly demonstrated that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK. Two things need constant repeating, in the face of government lies: 1. This is a very innocuous virus that only kills about 1 in 1000 who are mainly very old and/or very sick. 2. The over 99% who recover gain excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY. This immunity may well last a lifetime, and is vastly better than vaccination. The ONLY people that should be being locked down, and vaccinated are the vulnerable. This is how you get the hospitalisations and deaths down: which is more or less what the REAL experts have said right from the start.

  6978. Unfortunately for Boris these are all potential Labour voters. So given enough wets in his own party he will never get such a law through.
    4
  6979. ​ @johnburrows3385  I don't know about Reform UK, but we definitely need a new alternative to the existing corrupt parties. MPs, from whatever party, who have integrity, need to band together to form such a party. Unfortunately I have doubts that there are enough of such MPs. Also, like lemmings jumping over a cliff, I suspect most people will continue to vote Tory or Labour no matter what.
    4
  6980. The brain fog is in those who accepted lockdowns and vaccinations for a virus that only ever posed a threat to 0.3% of the population, and which gave excellent natural immunity to those who recovered from it. Before we blame it on Covid, are we absolutely certain that it isn't actually due to the vaccines?

  6981. If you want to see fruitful negotiations then they should be videoed and made available for all to watch. Then people could judge for themselves who is to blame.

  6985. Those with even a modicum of intelligence know that Emperor Xi will gauge the West's resolution and unity by what happens in Ukraine. If Putin is allowed ANY kind of victory then Xi will have the green light to invade Taiwan. It really is that simple.

  6990. So, let me get this right. People in Canada, who have not broken any law, can now have their bank accounts frozen. Am I the only one who has a really big problem with this? It seems like the "leaders" in countries that we used to regard as some of the most democratic are in competition to win Nazi of the Year award, and at the moment Trudeau has a big lead.

  6997. Well said!

  6998. The good will of a country's people is the smaller part of it. Much more important is the willingness of foreigners to abide by the "when in Rome" principal. That is you make every effort to learn the language, and you accept that country's values. In particular you accept that women have equal rights, and must not be molested because you can see more than their eyes through a slit. AND, that your wife, daughters and sisters have the same rights as other women in the country, NOT just the rights that you think they should have.
    4
  6999. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is also the reality for those living in Russia who speak up against Putin, and has been for many years. It's just there's no one there to bring it to light.

    4
  7002.  @fosterffoster5092  Screwing up their education, university choice, and mental health has real long term consequences. These poorly tested vaccines may have long term consequences. Long covid is a myth. This is now proven by the fact that people like teachers are claiming to have it far more than others. And we all know what most teachers' work ethic is like.😉

  7005. Boris should have offer Biden a good deal on Zimmer frames and hearing aids.
    4
  7006. The fast spread of this new variant is a godsend, because it is EXTREMELY MILD. It has the very real potential to quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY upon millions, thus ending this pandemic. Aha, but then everybody would learn that Downing Street, and its stooges, have been lying about natural immunity: and people would lose their fear of covid-19. This is what really terrifies the Downing Street Despots. As for stopping the spread, because of the extreme mildness this variant doesn't get noticed until it is ALREADY widespread. Those 500 reported cases are actually going to be between 5,000 and 50,000 cases. Boris is nailing shut the door of an empty stable. Plan B is like putting on a condom after you have had sex!

  7009. Sadly this is the standard Russian modus operandi, which has been practiced since at least WW II, when they cold-bloodedly butchered 22,000 defenseless Polish officers at Katyn. Russia hasn't changed, and we can expect to uncover many more such atrocities as more towns and cities are retaken. This is why it is existentially important that we don't let Russia win!
    4
  7010. That's a win/win for Starmer. He saves on fuel payments, and then he saves on thousands of pensions. Oh, make that win/win/win, as he will also slightly shorten NHS waiting lists.
    4
  7011. I doubt that I am the only one who is very concerned that many people who have not done anything violent are receiving long jail terms while so many violent criminal receive much shorter terms or aren't jailed at all. It really does seem that, as in Russia, the courts are now doing the government's bidding, rather than dispensing justice.
    4
  7012. There's one foolproof method of really upsetting people. Tell them a truth that they don't want to hear. And what Angela said about Boris and his nasty gang is irrefutably true.
    4
  7013. ​ @cescosa  It didn't save 6 million lives, but people don't want to admit what complete mugs they were for taking something that hadn't undergone proper Phase III safety trials: especially for such a low risk virus.

  7014. The only ones getting the beatings are the classroom teachers. And often it's from their managers, as well as the kids.

  7015. We have lots of islands off the coast of Scotland that are sparsely inhabited, or not inhabited at all. Surely it would be vastly cheaper to set up camps to accommodate these people on some of them. Two other advantages would be that the do-gooder courts couldn't claim that they were being sent to live under an unsafe government, and this would be a really good deterrent.
    4
  7016. Secret talks about introducing Sharia Law to Scotland?
    4
  7017. Boris still has to get any such bill passed, which certainly isn't a given.
    4
  7018. The trouble is that it's not the kind of change that this well past her sell-date clubber has in mind.
    4
  7019. This is why governments are so frightened of the Omicron variant, which South African doctors have catagorised as more transmissible, but EXTREMELY MILD. It could very quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions before they can get their forced vaccination schemes up and running.

  7024. This is why we talk about ivory towers. Does this scaredy cat professor have the slightest idea how much damage lockdowns and restrictions are doing to people. It's absolutely staggering. Against this very real damage he's worried in case a nasty variant comes along. Is he fishing for a nice fat government grant? If he was any good at his job he would also know that mutations tend towards LESS lethality. It's simple evolutionary pressure, something that doesn't kill its host, and keeps them more mobile, improves its own survival prospects.

  7025. It seems to me that good, decent, hardworking people, who have paid taxes all their lives, are at the back of the queue when they find themselves in need!

  7026. Very distressed to hear that the crew and passengers escaped.
    4
  7027.  @Cupid-Stunt  I was talking about those in hospital, not the number of infections. That's what matters. Furthermore, we are hearing absolutely nothing about deaths and hospitalisations from winter flu and colds. How many of these are being wrongly (and deliberately) blamed on covid-19?
    4
  7028. Exactly. Years ago I would arrive at a doctors and sit in the waiting room. Whenever some brainless receptionist suggested I made an appointment I would say that next time I'd also make an appointment for when I became sick.
    4
  7029. Maybe we could have a "peace in our time" with Putin, just like we did with Hitler. Didn't that work out well for millions?
    4
  7030. Well since the start of these insane lockdowns, sensible people like me, who aren't quivering snowflakes, have been saying this is a cure that is far worse than the disease. In fact it isn't even a cure. Even the most feeble minded, and that includes most in Downing Street, could have predicted that this would happen.
    4
  7031. We understand even less how the brain works, but that doesn't stop them being essential to every human being. We may not know exactly how a neural net and expert system reaches its decision, but we do know that the very best ones can far out perform the diagnosis of most doctors, to give but one example. Are we really going to let a few scaredy cats persuade us to throw away something as fantastic as this?
    4
  7032. YES!!!
    4
  7033. Indeed they are, BUT most parents are pretty determined to avoid the guilt or sleepless nights by looking too closely at what goes on in them.
    4
  7034. Just like the Cuba missile crisis, giving into blackmail is simply not an option. This would only lead to much more nuclear blackmail, and not just by Russia. It would prove that the West can be intimidated into surrendering. And, paradoxically, it would most likely INCREASE the likelihood of nuclear Armageddon.
    4
  7035. Unfortunately Labour has more than 4 years left, in which to do irreversible damage to this country, and there's no democratic mechanism for removing them.
    4
  7036. Many of these special forces could die for Putin, as so many already have, or they could take Wagner's side and live. Seems a no-brainer to me.
    4
  7037. Hope there were lots of Orcs guarding it at the time.

  7039. Rakib, a lot of us would happily chip in to buy you a one way ticket to Rwanda!
    4
  7040. Well, I guess that's like saying in 1939 that "British-German relations have never been worse". It's entirely down to Emperor Xi who is China's version of Hitler, and Putin's counterpart in Asia.

  7041.  duncan smith  Dream on Putin fanboy.
    4
  7042. I just made a similar comment before seeing your one.
    4
  7043. "The Life of Brian" was a blockbuster. It's way past time we had something like "Abdul and his Camel". I'm sure crowdfunding could raise enough to hire A lister actors for it.
    4
  7044. Calling Kier Starmer a liar is like calling the Pope a Catholic.

  7045. A racist building? That would be all buildings that don't have mud walls and a grass roof with a hole in the middle of it.

  7046. Labour would also see pigs flying on the backs of elephants flapping their ears.🤣
    4
  7047. And God knows it's big enough.
    4
  7048. Well it's a start but Germany needs to do the same AND stop hindering Poland and Finland from sending tanks to Ukraine.
    4
  7049. I suspect it's just lots of juicy contracts for those in favour with the government.
    4
  7050. As the old saying goes: "there's a sucker born every minute". The gullible bleating sheep in this country prove how true this is.
    4
  7051. We should also let our fighter pilots do what they are trained to do in Ukraine airspace: it's totally in keeping with international law. There are so many American, British and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash to waste the Orcs infesting Ukraine.
    4
  7052. I wonder how many people appreciate that if we could slash private car ownership it would be vastly more beneficial for the planet than persecuting the aviation industry.
    4
  7053. At 62 going to a club would be like a trip to hell, and I very rarely visit a pub. But when I was young I really enjoyed both these activities. I wouldn't deny young people the chance to enjoy life like I did, especially as the risk to most of them is laughable. Those who feel at risk can put their own lives on hold, but they shouldn't expect others to sacrifice their lives for them: it's selfish and immoral.
    4
  7054. If we had decent politicians, with integrity and courage, then both sides of the house would have got together to quickly push through a law banning ALL protests on Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday, and maybe a few other days of the year. Not being allowed to protest on just a handful out of 365 days is hardly trampling on democracy and freedom of speech.
    4
  7055. Why aren't those cluster munitions being used? They aren't mantlepiece ornaments.
    4
  7056. As far as rich boy Rishi is concerned, partygate is the least of his grievous sins. He has CHEATED millions of struggling OAPs out of their "triple lock" pension rise. Their increase will now be well below inflation. Even without him STEALING what they were entitled to, most would have really struggled!
    4
  7057. Well, for decades people warning about climate change have been treated like those who wear tin foil hats. And Many Australians still insist there's no such thing.
    4
  7058. Khalife isn't a particularly talented computer dude. That's why he's just a squaddie. As such he poses a minimal security risk, and the fuss being made over his escape is way OTT. Yes, his escape shows great incompetence, as does the over reaction of closing the M20 and a large London Park. But it's the incompetence of our police and prison service that pose a far higher risk than anything Khalife might tell Iran!
    4
  7059. It seems to me that one massive bombing raid to take out nuclear processing facilities, munitions factories, and some top clerics and Revolutionary Guards would solve a lot of problems, all in one go. Most Iranian people would bless such an action, which would also benefit Ukraine, Israel, and a few other places too. Hard to see any down side.
    4
  7060. The motivation might be questionable, but the action is not. As long as 18 months ago it was very clear that all this nonsense should have ended: maybe even sooner. Covid-19 has never posed a serious risk to healthy people. We have all been screwed to hell for the sake of well under 1% of the population, and to pacify the bed wetting snowflakes. And the way our young people's education and mental health has been buggered to hell is both criminal and deeply shameful.
    4
  7061. Puts a whole new take on "having the runs".
    4
  7062. Cynicism or realism?
    4
  7063. Call me old-fashioned, but in my day citing mental health as a reason for quitting would have been too deeply shameful to even consider: displaying a total lack of character. This girl should have simply said she was feeling too knackered, or gritted her teeth and done the best she could. Coming out as a window licker is not cool!
    4
  7064. Am I the only one who remembers that on 31st December 2015 1200 German women (mainly young girls) were molested outside Cologne cathedral? Am I also the only one remembering how hard the German government tried to hide the fact that those carrying out these horrible sexual assaults were migrants and illegal migrants? How would you like your daughter, sister, wife or girlfriend to suffer like this: or worse?
    4
  7065. Isn't it funny how the fat people always seem to be in favour of more restrictions. Of course it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that all those crisps, cakes and chocolates they stuff their faces with puts the at higher risk.😉
    4
  7066. Not OK, because the risk is 10 to 100 times lower than what these dishonest scaremongers would have you believe.
    4
  7067. I'm more worried about how many more managers and admin staff it will deliver.
    4
  7068. Where's the tear gas? I thought France had banned these rallies.
    4
  7069. Just some Orcs.
    4
  7070. Those boats, with passengers, should be towed back to France, which is where they came from!
    4
  7071. Perfect weather for an Orc barbecue then.
    4
  7072. It's now 5. We also don't know just how many "no confidence" letters have been submitted. We might well see a vote to remove the clown very soon.
    4
  7073. This is what happens when cowardly terrorists hide among civilians in hospitals, schools and mosques.
    4
  7074. I wonder how many people who want to stop criticism of fundamental Islam have actually read an undoctored version of the Koran. If memory serves me right, it has lots of very unpleasant things to say about unbelievers.
    4
  7075. With the prospect of lots of tanks and other weapons arriving soon Putin must be getting truly desperate, so an attack sooner rather than later should be expected. After all, Putin really won't lose a minutes sleep over how many Russian lives it might cost.
    4
  7076. Hopefully we will see this continue throughout the winter, because last year's pause gave the Russians the opportunity to dig in on a truly massive scale. And that caused immense difficulties for Ukraine's advance earlier this year. Let's not forget that desperate Putin is hoping that if he can last another year then Trump will become president again and pull the support for Ukraine.
    4
  7077. If Lebanese civilians don't want to get caught up in this then perhaps they shouldn't have provided a safe haven for Hezbollah for decades!
    4
  7078. Those who still support the Tories aren't exactly the sharpest pencils in the box. So, I guess it's taking them a bit longer to get on the same page.
    4
  7079. Don't forget the Kerch Bridge. Not only is it a very important supply line, it's destruction would be intensely humiliating for Putin.
    4
  7080. You play the game of Tsars, you either win or die: to paraphrase a well known TV series. Prigozhin wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box, but you would have thought he would understand that once he had started his mutiny he had no choice but to see it through. Staying away from upstairs windows, and not accepting tea from strangers, was never going to save him.
    4
  7081. If memory serves me right, the old Soviet form of voting was that if you didn't cast a vote then you automatically voted for the communist party. I suspect Putin's referendum will be along similar lines, with those turning up subsequently disappearing or having accidents.
    4
  7082. But our politicians rely on having a dumb populace!
    4
  7083. ​ @jw841  You are indeed correct. But how much of this is due to exactly what I said about most people now thinking that it's clever to lie, cheat and break one's promises.
    4
  7084. When I was young charities were typically run pro-bono, with little old ladies rattling their cans in the street. Nowadays it seems that all of them are businesses, run by people who would otherwise be unemployable, and are on to a nice little earner for themselves. All those collectors now hassling you in the street and on your doorstep are now paid a wage and a commission. Charity certainly does begin at home for almost all of them!
    4
  7085. Wise decision. Why die for a deranged, incontinent psychopath?
    4
  7086. The girl in blue at 3:00 really needs to get a life. How on earth can someone cry about a person they have never met?
    4
  7087. So true. Mind you there's a woman living next door to me who didn't go to university. She is not far off 60, and has never done a proper day's work in her life, preferring to sponge off her father, and brothers.
    4
  7088. It's really tough being a tree, rabbit or pigeon in Ukraine.
    4
  7089. Ukraine cannot fight Russia alone, but if Europe puts boots on the ground and fighter pilots in the air it stands a damn good chance. Russia has sustained horrific loses. Even the downtrodden Russian people are unlikely to accept the massive additional losses that facing European forces in Ukraine would entail.
    4
  7090. If our government allows such a high risk ship to get close to our shores it will be one of the biggest dereliction of duties of all times!
    4
  7091. How many of these admission are WITH covid-19, as opposed to because of covid-19? At this time of year hospital admissions in older people ALWAYS sky rocket. Blaming them on covid-19 is shameful, and dishonest, scaremongering.
    4
  7092. Are the number of people being hospitalised or dying also doubling? No! This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant so people need to man up and stop whining.
    4
  7093. Iranians and North Koreans please note. This is the only effective way of dealing with despots.
    4
  7094. Just let a few of our American, British and Polish fighter pilots loose on these Orcs. They will be very happy to silence both the orcs and their artillery.
    4
  7095. Good! We need as many people to get infected as quickly as possible, so that our retarded government is forced to acknowledge a few truths, that even the most stupid person should finally be recognizing. 1. Covid-19 isn't going away. Current measures, or worse, are totally unsustainable, and as soon as they are lifted the virus will make a comeback. It's here to stay, so suck it up. 2. We are seeing a proportionately negligible number of deaths now. So people need to stop being cowardly snowflakes. Something else will get you first: like Hancock's Gestapo shooting you for not wearing a mask. 3. We aren't going to see a vaccine until at least a few months into next year. Even when there is one a high percentage of people, maybe even the majority, won't take it. With a virus that represents such a tiny risk to most you would have to be barking mad to believe this government's claims about its safety. If it were developed in even 3 years, it would still be an incredible record breaking development time. Safe effective vaccines do take time, and we not not dealing with something really bad like Ebola. We now have an incredibly low death rate, meaning an equally low IFR, that is being revised downwards all the time. We also know that there is long term immunity. So, except for the vulnerable, which we can't turn the world upside down for, people need their (old) normal lives back. Herd immunity, and Sweden's approach is the only intelligent way forward. I suggest people do what I've done and email Hancock, telling him not to be such a complete imbecile.

  7096. Hopefully Mossad will take care of him.

  7097. Far better to have Boris back than Rich Boy Sunak, the pension thief!

  7098. I'm a qualified and highly experienced teacher. During this pandemic, as a private tutor of A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics I've seen the complete and utter travesty of what's been done to young people. I had one young lady for physics and chemistry. Apparently, because she didn't get on with her teachers, she was the only one in her classes to be "teacher assessed" with two E grades. Yet on taking the exams last autumn she got a C and a D. This happened at what many think is one of Enfield's best schools! I've also seen what passes for "online learning" at a few other schools around here. It's absolutely appalling! Young people at school and university have been robbed blind of their education, and the mental health of very many has been damaged. And all for a virus that poses negligible threat to them, and a miniscule threat to their teachers. What kind of immoral and cowardly society treats its young people in such a manner just to VERY SLIGHTLY reduce the risk of a FEW over 80s dying? Once expects this from the self-serving, cowardly scum in Downing Street, but the rest of the country should hang their heads in shame for letting these gangsters get away with this.
    4
  7099. When you think about it, it's surprising this doesn't happen more often. Considering how many people live in a tower block there's a reasonable probability that one of them is going to be a careless druggy or alcoholic (on benefits?).

  7106. The Americans have a saying "don't get mad get even". What about "don't get despondent fight back". The police can only play Gestapo if there aren't too many people to persecute, and if they don't find very angry people waiting outside their houses when they go home. When you get tyranny the ordinary democratic processes no longer work. You have to be prepared to fight to get your freedom back! Of course, it's always much more effective to cut off the head of the snake!

  7107. Yes, rather like The Matrix, YouTube has thousands of dedicated bots searching for comments about mRNA vaccines, natural immunity, and any suggestion that Covid posed a negligible risk to most people.
    4
  7108. I love crisps and chocolates, but as I don't want to get fat or diabetic I leave them on the supermarket shelf most of the time.
    4
  7109. FFS, give it a rest! I'm now nearly 67. I had Covid very early on and it was less bother than a bad cold. I did as little as possible to obey any of the crazy lockdown nonsense, and wasn't stupid enough to take a very poorly tested "vaccine".
    4
  7110. Sounds about right. The rich parasites get richer, while those who do hard work that really matters get poorer.
    4
  7111. Or nappies for all the bed-wetters.
    4
  7112. He died 3 months ago. The machine was simply stopping his corpse from rotting.
    4
  7113. I would expect that before allowing Putin to start a nuclear war those holding his leash would decide to put their rabid dog down.
    4
  7114. Since all the food supplies and infrastructure was already in Russia it was simply a matter of changing the most senior management and the company names. It would have been very surprising if the Russian takeover hadn't gone very smoothly.
    4
  7115.  MoomooPro  Would that be because they are good people who disowned you?
    4
  7116. He would say it if he thought it meant more votes for him.
    4
  7117. No, put it off a bleak remote Scottish island!
    4
  7118. What about also taking out pipelines, which are hard to defend all along their length?
    4
  7119. Sadly brain washing goes on in most of our "democracies" as well. Look at all the morons who swallowed Downing Street's fearmongering over covid-19. Also, don't forget all the news about the vast number of massive anti-lockdown protests, both here and abroad, that was vigorously suppressed. In fact, one of the best sources for information about this was Russia Today!
    4
  7120. Home Office running a Hotel California policy. Just how stupid and perverse do you have to be to work for the Home Office?
    4
  7121. With jails at bursting point it would be a really good thing if covid-19 culled the prison population.
    4
  7122. "too embarrassing" Don't be too sure. You have to factor in just how incompetent Putin and his FSB goons are.
    4
  7123. If you have a school in a poor area that is doing very well then surely it doesn't take much intelligence to appreciate that emulating what it does might be a really good idea. But then among TTK and his cabinet intelligence is as rare as hens' teeth.
    4
  7124. If this new variant is indeed EXTREMELY MILD, as was South African doctors' initial assessment, then the God fearing might regard it as his Christmas present to the world. It has the very real potential to quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions.
    4
  7125. Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to pay some nice Italian family to look after Kim Jung-un and his sister?
    4
  7126. Sadly this is very true. One only has to look at the Austrian Fourth Reich, which is now forcing people to get vaccinated.
    4
  7127. Poor little girl. It would be hard enough even without having to learn a new language.
    4
  7128. Reeves is certainly not listening to those telling her that their are literally millions who shouldn't be on benefits at all. This could be the savings she needs: and more.
    4
  7129. Better to acquiesce, like the British?
    4
  7130. And doing what they do best. Stuffing their wallets, while protecting the guilty.
    4
  7131. I might not agree with a lot of what Khan says or does. However, I fully support getting totally selfish motorists, who cause air and noise pollution, off our roads. So many of them could easily use public transport. MOST people in London do not need a car!
    4
  7132. Freedom to poison the air our kids breath?
    4
  7133. The world would truly be a much better place if Hamas, ISIS, the Taliban, and the Iranian leadership were wiped off its face.
    4
  7134.  @yusufsyed7852  you know the real reason. It's because the cowards in Hamas use women and children as human shields.
    4
  7135. I'm not a fan of this government and think it will lose the next election, not that I expect Labour to be any better. However if they go to the polls now they will definitely lose, and probably get hammered. A lot can happen in a year, so waiting trades the near certainty of losing now against an albeit small chance of turning things around in a year.
    4
  7136. She reminds me of an elderly neighbour I had until not too long ago. He really needed a hernia operation, but his daughter got upset when getting an equity release to finance it was suggested.
    4
  7137. The poster identified as a Putin rent boy.
    4
  7138. Vacuous rhetoric!
    4
  7139. Surely it's obvious that Iran's navy is urgently in need of attention?
    4
  7140.  @hamishglenn4900  My God it's a small world. If memory serves me right your dad was a doctor and you lived in Littleton. I bet everyone in NZ is glad they are as far away as possible from Putin, though of course there's still Xi to worry about.
    4
  7141.  @incrediblyintelligentman2895  You are thinking of reservists. But the great unwashed tend to get restless when you start making those who haven't willingly joined the military fight and die. Especially their mummies and daddies.
    4
  7142. Ben forgot to mention the outstanding arse kicking that Ukraine has just given the Orcs, deep behind enemy lines, in Crimea.
    4
  7143. If there was a God she wouldn't give a monkey's what people wear. This clothing is purely to please the cavemen.
    4
  7144.  @hermestrismegistus9603  I'd be even MORE determined if it were a bunch of rabid cavemen!
    4
  7145. The Polish remember only too well how Russia launched an unprovoked invasion in 1939 and how 22,000 of their officers, who were unarmed POWs, were butchered at Katyn. Putin's Russia is no different from Stalin's Russia, and Poland won't let the same thing happen again.
    4
  7146. Not only that. Because of the extreme offense it would cause, almost all mainstream media wouldn't allow the open publication of what Putin, and his supporters, really think of most non Slavic races.
    4
  7147. A timely reminder of how many politicians are far more concerned about serving their own interests rather than those of the people that they are meant to serve.
    4
  7148. This is just the tip of the iceberg, which the likes of the BBC certainly won't report on prime time TV. Expect many, many more reports like this, and before too long we are going to start seeing lots of "inexplicable" increases in many kinds deaths. But don't panic and just repeat after me: "covid-19 vaccines are 100% safe".
    4
  7149. Most Tory MPs are completely self-serving, so they will always side with whoever they think will win, regardless of who is right or wrong.
    4
  7150. In the UK all our benches were taped off for months, and public toilets were closed. Some of those benches were in the middle of the country, a long way from roads. You couldn't make it up could you. And of course all those bloody face nappies are becoming a serious litter problem. No doubt in years to come we will be regaled with the problems they are causing for our wildlife.
    4
  7151. Why apologise? Because the lies weren't working.
    4
  7152. Putrid sounds like the kid, who has just been pushed into the dirt, saying that his big brother is going to sort things out: except that there is no big brother. The Russian army has it's hands full with one small area of Ukraine. It can't manage an attack on Lithuania as well. Also, if it did then NATO joins the party, and would probably then get directly involved in Ukraine.
    4
  7153. The way the police handled the vigil for Sarah Everard shows that there are plenty like Couzens!
    4
  7154. Apart from the dishonest and mentally retarded the Tories have lost the support of every honest decent person in this country. No right-minded person wants the country run by a pathological liar and cheat. Sadly, for the Tories, most of those lined up to take Boris' place are as bad or worse. Honest Tories who want to see their party survive ought to be begging someone like Desmond Swayne to throw his hat into the leadership ring.
    4
  7155. God, they must be so thick. Even as primary school kid I knew that you could force the doors open and squeeze out on one of the floors it was between. Or are there now "safety" devices that prevent this?
    4
  7156. One should always try to pay ones debts back. Ukrainian forces in Kursk are now close enough to one of Russia's nuclear power stations.
    4
  7157. It could have been so different. If Boris had been like Maggie and not had unnecessary, and insanely damaging, lockdowns then the country would be riding high. He would be a hero PM and the Tories would be heading for a solid victory.
    4
  7158.  @cloudcoveredmoon0015  If you mean to Hancock, I think there would be a really massive Thursday evening clap to celebrate.
    4
  7159. Correct, but the snowflakes are soiling themselves over EXTREMELY MILD Omicron.
    4
  7160. "Worst death rate" only if you believe the scaremongering propaganda. The ONS has revealed that ONLY 17,500 people, without underlying health problems have died from covid-19, NOT 150,000, and almost all of them were over 65.
    4
  7161. ANYTHING that reduces the screen time of kids is going to be massively beneficial to both their mental and physical health. Kids should be socialising in person and out doing things in youth oriented organisations like scouts. The phones may be smarter, but they are making our children dumber! And never mind 16, it should be 18 or even 21.
    4
  7162. This now seems to be a very standard Russian response. When their Orcs can't stand up to the Ukraine military they murder defenseless civilians.
    4
  7163. "On track to deliver that", by end of July. We have already vaccinated half the adult population, many of whom are not particularly mobile, in 3 months. Another 3 months, with people more able to get to vaccination centres, and the infrastructure already in place, puts the date for all adults offered the vaccine at about mid June. This is 6weeks earlier than this nasty little weasel is quoting. But then he'd get a really big kick if he could stop people going abroad to enjoy a well earned summer holiday.
    4
  7164. With the melting ice the Arctic is becoming very important. If Canada shows any lack of resolution it's a dead cert that both Russia and China will mercilessly exploit this.
    4
  7165. The expression about "taking the devil's coin" comes to mind.
    4
  7166. While this is true, Sunak and his cabinet was like a chimpanzees' tea party.
    4
  7167. Maybe Philip told Harry to "man up", and Harry has never forgiven him.
    4
  7168. Pourquoi YouTube est-il si déterminé à supprimer les commentaires appelant à la peine de mort pour les meurtriers d'enfants ? La plupart des gens sont fortement favorables à une telle peine !
    4
  7169. FFS. You don't "plead" with the police you ORDER them through your Home Secretary!
    4
  7170. The Orcs really don't get it. Murdering defenseless civilians doesn't discourage Ukraine. It makes people more determined than ever to drive the Orcs back into Russia.
    4
  7171. The rest of the UK deserves a referendum on whether we want to keep Northern Ireland as part of the union!
    4
  7172. Whether this is true or not, there is an overriding reason for Russia publishing this. The Crimea bridge is so intimately linked to Putin that its destruction would be an immense and very public humiliation for him. With Trump trying to throw him a lifeline there has never been a more important time to serve him an extra large helping of humble pie.
    4
  7173. If they won't leave then dying there is absolutely fine!
    4
  7174. Yes you are!
    4
  7175. The thought of having someone as deputy PM who at 44 spends all night in a nightclub doesn't fill me with confidence and respect. Most of us would have grown out of this at least a decade earlier.
    4
  7176. Does this woman not understand why, and how important, the diplomatic immunity laws are. They are there to protect diplomats who are abroad, in the service of their country, from trumped up allegations. This immunity extends to family so that the diplomat cannot be got at through them. It's unfortunate that this woman has lost her son, but in the greater scheme of things it would be far more unfortunate if the laws regarding diplomatic immunity were weakened. Does she really find it that hard to understand the bigger picture?
    4
  7177. No, Georgia should seize this opportunity to take back South Ossetia, while Putin is in no position to deploy any troops there.
    4
  7178. Randy Andy is certainly no saint, but the woman comes across as someone who knew exactly what she was doing at 17 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not content with the good times she had she set out to make as much money as she could from them. What this vile woman agreed to is very clear, and the judge ought to uphold her agreement.
    4
  7179. How much money would be available from what is being spent on the 25% of working age who aren't even looking for work, or on illegal migrants?
    4
  7180. ​ @Woodwork-Learner  Don't believe the government lies. If you have had covid you are almost certainly immune. If you are immune either through having covid or vaccination then you almost certainly cannot spread covid. The PCR test is so incredibly sensitive that most of the time what it is detecting in immune people is either just a few viral particles that will be wiped out before the disease develops, or fragments of viral particles that the immune system has already destroyed. The government won't tell you this because they want to frighten (con) you into following their one size fits all rules. Once Boris came out of hospital he could have safely gone round French kissing people, and he didn't need to be vaccinated.
    4
  7181. Sunak has done himself and the Conservative party no favours by bring Williamson into his cabinet. Promoting a seriously dim-witted ex fireplace salesman to a very senior position was not a bright move.
    4
  7182. Il y a un panneau de sortie absolument énorme, mais ni Reeves ni TTK n'ont l'intégrité ni le courage de l'utiliser. Comme chacun peut facilement le vérifier, la BBC a rapporté ces dernières 24 heures que 9,4 millions de personnes en âge de travailler ne cherchent même pas d'emploi. Cela représente 25 %. La plupart des gens ont-ils même 12,5 % de leurs connaissances en âge de travailler qui sont trop malades pour travailler ? Cibler les prestations de ceux qui sont parfaitement capables de travailler serait tout à fait juste et équitable. De plus, cela permettrait de réaliser plus d'économies que toutes les autres coupes budgétaires de Reeves réunies !
    4
  7183. I'm happy to share my germs with others: even you.
    4
  7184. If instead of paying dividends, and obscene bonuses to worthless CEOs, all that money was put into fixing leaks, then the outlook would be a lot brighter.
    4
  7185. There are several regions that really want out of the Russian Federation. Hopefully the actions of these anti-Putin groups will spur them into action.
    4
  7186. If only Putin's Black Sea fleet could also be cleared. Because once it's gone Turkey won't let any Russian warships into the Black Sea.
    4
  7187. Actually, the age group of those murdered in this atrocity makes it likely that they were opposed to Putin. Putin doesn't care about their deaths in the least, but would dearly love to be able to blame it on Ukraine.
    4
  7188. What I loved were the videos of Putin thanking Russians after the close of the "election". It's rather like a burglar thanking you after he has ransacked your house.
    4
  7189. And they cry about how unfair it is when they are hit back.
    4
  7190. As I've just posted. The reason we are now researching this is there seems to be a need to constantly generate something new, (supposedly) about covid-19 in order to keep people frightened.
    4
  7191. Sadly a lot of them will have tales of abuse, and maybe even torture, to tell.
    4
  7192. Only a fool could fail to whole heartedly welcome the break up of the Russian Federation. This would vastly weaken Russia, especially if the different parts fight among themselves. What's not to totally love about this?
    4
  7193. Yep, because Cressida owes him one.
    4
  7194. Thanks for sharing one of my favourite types of video. It's always wonderful to see a bit of multimillion dollar Russia hardware totaled, along with one of their much harder to replace Orcs.
    4
  7195. When I was paying my mortgage we could only dream of the kind of low rates that people are enjoying even now.
    4
  7196. Well, on this rare occasion, I find myself saying "well said Boris"! The overwhelming majority of the most vulnerable are now vaccinated, so one wouldn't expect these new infections in younger, healthier people to result in more deaths or hospitalisations: and these are the ONLY things that matter. Currently, more than 5 times as many people end up dead or in hospital due to traffic accidents. Snowflake dying of fright doesn't count.🤣
    4
  7197. If those in power had kept their cool over relatively innocuous covid-19 then we wouldn't now have a plummeting pound!
    4
  7198. Those on the probation service who make mistakes like this, and cost innocent people their lives, need to be very severely punished!
    4
  7199. Herr Macron visiting Vichy. You couldn't make it up could you.
    4
  7200. Actually most governments want this. They are terrified that people will find out that they grossly exaggerated the danger posed by this virus, and that their incredibly damaging response was excessive in the extreme. Claiming a vaccine saved humanity gets them off the hook. And there will be no shortage of stupid people believing them.
    4
  7201. We have been on the side of the criminals for decades. Remember that poor farmer jailed for shooting someone who broke into his home: and it wasn't the first time that they had done so. He should have been given a medal, not jail!
    4
  7202. When life heaps blessing upon you is it really so hard to be grateful and live cleanly and decently?
    4
  7203. What's been revealed is how cowardly and selfish most people are, and how easy it is to manipulate their irrational fears. What disgusts me the most is the way the majority were willing to sacrifice the education and mental health of our young people. Even some animals protect their young better! A very recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that just 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19, and almost all of them were over 65. Right at the start the REAL experts were very clear that lockdowns would not work. They advised only isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. Why was this advice ignored? There is now absolutely no doubt that it was spot on!
    4
  7204. Unfortunately these attacks needed to be followed up in very short measure, but they haven't. Ukraine seems like the chap in the ring who, every time he knocks his opponent down allows him to go back to his corner to catch his breath, instead of jumping up and down on his head.
    4
  7205. Cluster munitions have been in Ukraine for a few days now. They aren't ornaments to be put on the mantlepiece and admired, so when are we going to see them used to flush out the Orc trenches? What's the point of giving Ukraine expensive munitions if they refuse to use them?
    4
  7206. Well we've had three years of exams being given away or dumbed down. Maybe a teachers strike will provide the excuse for a 4th year. This in itself would be a win for teachers, because the results of PROPER exams are partly used to assess the quality, or lack thereof, of teaching.
    4
  7207. Not at all inconsistent. If you were Labour you always got off, and if you were Conservative you always got done.
    4
  7208. Let's be honest about where all this "showing the prophet" nonsense comes from. It's that bit in the old testament about graven images of any living creature. As such Muslims who complain about this shouldn't have any family photos or watch any films or TV.
    4
  7209. Swapping the Tories for Labour is like swapping Gonorrhea for Syphilis. Voting Reform UK is like choosing penicillin instead.
    4
  7210. If people are fed up with politics then maybe it's way past time that they had the sense and courage to vote other than Labour or Conservative!
    4
  7211. Sorry, but with vastly better NATURAL IMMUNITY it's not my civic duty to take a poorly tested vaccine that will do me no good whatsoever, just because some morons in Downing Street, with classics and PPE degrees want me to.
    4
  7212. One of democracy's major failings is that we allow people of very limited intelligence to reach positions of great power. Classic examples of this are Trump, Rayner and Ardern. And they are helped on their way because people of equally limited intelligence are allowed to vote.
    4
  7213. I wonder if his mate Putin has sent him a get well card?
    4
  7214. I wonder how many excess cases there have been of strokes and blocked blood vessels over the last couple of years, especially in younger people?
    4
  7215. Just made a similar comment asking who it will be better for. Let's see if YouTube deletes or hides it.
    4
  7216.  @krishnan-resurrection714  Lesser of two evils.
    4
  7217. Let's get that membership done: in days, not weeks or months!
    4
  7218.  @Slanche1974  Or would that be botched soup?
    4
  7219. I wonder how many of these are claiming that they are unfit to work, and on benefits?
    4
  7220. Surely there shouldn't be ANY social media apps on government phones and computers. Or are us hard-pressed taxpayers paying for civil servants to just goof around instead of working?
    4
  7221. 100 people walking into Downing Street with cheese and wine. I'm sure, for security reasons, they inspect what's being taken in, so of course they knew!
    4
  7222. That's like saying the Pope is a Catholic.
    4
  7223. Wouldn't it be sad if some of these ships had "accidents".
    4
  7224. Bang on. Starmer is keeping Boris in No.10.
    4
  7225. But Scumbag Starmer hasn't attacked Sunak on pensions, because he doesn't give a toss about Sunak CHEATING OAPs out of their "triple lock", and the fact that millions are going to really struggle.
    4
  7226. So, let me get this right. These Russians inflicted terrible suffering on the Syrian people for 10 years, but the rebels are letting them leave and take all their equipment with them.
    4
  7227. Yep, hold an Omicron Christmas party!
    4
  7228. Be nice, Boris's school chums have lots of shares in big pharma, and holidays in St Moritz don't come cheap.
    4
  7229. Somewhat over 80 years ago many thousands of brave young men gave their lives fighting to defend the freedoms that Keir Stramer is now trying to take away from the British people!
    4
  7230. I almost cheered with them. One tank and 2 or 3 pigs less.
    4
  7231. So more flying lessons from upstairs windows, and Putin's own special tea brew.
    4
  7232. What has me scratching my head is why Ukraine hasn't already taken out many miles of Russian oil and gas pipelines. There are thousands of miles of these, so it's impossible to defend them along all of their length.
    4
  7233. He sold his soul a long time ago!
    4
  7234. Because he is a rabid Labour supporter!
    4
  7235. There's a very good reason that most decent people refer to Russians as Orcs!
    4
  7236. Maybe if these countries had the honestly and decency to condemn what Putin is doing in Ukraine then people like me might feel a bit more sympathy for them.
    4
  7237. Do we not have any laws regarding showing support for terrorist organisations, or is it just that the government, courts and police turn a blind eye to the breaking of them?
    4
  7238. Does any sensible person expect honesty from an MP. Those with intelligence and integrity don't last long!
    4
  7239. While not always successful, others seek to level up. Labour seeks to level down. It's intention of taxing private schools out of existence, and actually costing the taxpayer more, is a typical example.
    4
  7240. TACO will set Putin a month's deadline and then extend it.
    4
  7241. Hancock definitely should have been sacked by the PM promptly. However, when it comes to the cabinet, including the PM, he is just one of many bad apples. If it weren't for the fact that they are screwing up the UK, Downing Street would be a very entertaining black comedy. But then one must remember that the majority of the population elected these Bozos. As they say: people get the government that they deserve.
    4
  7242. Over the moon with joy would be a more accurate description.
    4
  7243. Watching what's being done to Ukrainian cities reminds me of how the Nazis leveled Warsaw!
    4
  7244. Help is coming, but don't hold your breath while waiting for it! And expect it to be the equivalent of being handed a thimble to bail out a sinking ship.
    4
  7245. Dr. John you are very, very wrong to encourage immune people to obey quarantine. As we both know, over 100 years of immunology studies tell us that the chance of them incubating enough of the virus to be infectious is to all intents and purposes ZERO. Blow Job is a complete and utter wanker. His quarantining is down to both his innate stupidity, and his overwhelming desire to make others follow his insane restrictions. It's certainly NOT guided by the science.
    4
  7246. This talk of "outside help" is there to distract people from the very simple fact that a standard part of security should have been spending a FEW SECONDS checking under vehicles leaving a prison. A mirror angled on a stick would mean there wasn't even a need to bend down.
    4
  7247.  @alexander92179  Should be called Envy Tax.
    4
  7248. Can we please just cut Northern Ireland loose from the Union. They can either go it alone or become part of the Irish Republic, if the latter will even have them. Few in the UK want this bunch of squabbling bigots.
    4
  7249. Hezbollah or Hezballess?
    4
  7250. If the BBC had to fend for itself, like other channels, then it wouldn't be able to get away with the sympathy it's showing towards Hamas. Just what will it take to end the license fee that allows its appalling behaviour?
    4
  7251. Yes, let's throw decades of international law in the dustbin. To paraphrase a Riddick film, new international law will be "you keep what you steal".
    4
  7252. Of course he removed her portrait. Being constantly reminded of what a real PM is like was more than he could bear.
    4
  7253. Forget Rwanda, Ascension Island or luxury barges. Time and time again people like me have asked why the government doesn't simply erect some tents or nissen huts on a remote Scottish island. Many are very sparsely populated, if at all, and the cold rough surrounding waters would make them very secure. This would be vastly cheaper than any of the government's hair-brained schemes, AND the bracing weather would be a real deterrent.
    4
  7254. Yeah, funny that. I must be one of those few weird people who feels far more threatened by burglars and muggers than speeding motorists.
    4
  7255. I wonder if those captured realise just how incredibly lucky they are?

  7256. "Finely balanced" my arse! Over 50% have now had both jabs. That's almost all the most vulnerable: and we should make no sacrifice whatsoever for those who were offered and refused the vaccine. We are also assured that these vaccines are effective against variants. So unless deaths and hospitalisations are rising significantly there is NO EXCUSE to cancel June 21. Craven what ifs and maybes are not acceptable. The Gurkhas have a motto: "better to die than live as a coward!"

  7257. Is that the sobbing of Putin and his fanboys that I'm hearing?
    4
  7258. The so-called judge's imagination!
    4
  7259. I should bloody well hope so! There are so many things in the UK that need OUR taxes urgently.
    4
  7260. The elections don't matter as the Kremlin has already decided what their results will be!
    4
  7261. When are we going to see cluster munitions being used on the Orcs?
    4
  7262. The Russian MoD should just pirate some Top Gun scenes, they would be about as believable: maybe more so.
    4
  7263. You don't sack someone for telling the TRUTH!
    4
  7264. Good to know, BUT Zelensky needs to think very carefully about delaying his counteroffensive, because there's little point supporting Ukraine if the Orcs, who are currently in disarray, are given plenty of time to regroup, reinforce, resupply, and dig in.
    4
  7265. Not au revoir, vas t'en!
    4
  7266. It's hard to believe that those in a position to remove Putin don't realise that he is insane, and that any use of nukes would result in their children and grandchildren's futures being utterly destroyed.
    4
  7267. Most of the Civil Service is on permanent paid holiday.
    4
  7268. The continuing belief in God, regardless of which one, is proof of just how thick and gullible so many people are. There is not a shred of evidence, and a casual consideration of the sheer size of our universe shows how absurd any Earth centric belief system is.
    4
  7269. Fly-tipping isn't punished anywhere near severely enough, in the same way that uninsured driving isn't either. For both of these offences you should lose ALL your vehicles, and be banned from owning another one or driving for 5 years.
    4
  7270. The only country that should be grateful is Sweden, where there weren't any lockdowns. Despite the lies you will hear, they certainly didn't have a higher death rate. In fact it was a lot lower than many countries with strict lockdowns. Also, don't believe the lies about it having anything to do with the size of the country.
    4
  7271. I'm happy to see Penny given a crack at PM, but I'd rather have Boris back than see Rich Boy Sunak, the back-stabbing pension thief become PM.
    4
  7272. One thing we could do, at relatively little cost is mandate that those of fighting age who are out of work have to earn their dole by becoming reservists, rather than just sitting on their butts, and sponging off those of us that earn our keep.
    4
  7273. Religion is now very much the province of the stupid and uneducated: nonsensical superstition that the more enlightened among us have consigned to the rest of our fairy tales. Only the most gullible and ignorant believe in dudes coming back from the dead after 3 days, and others speaking to angels and riding horses up to heaven.
    4
  7274. And don't forget, cougars have sharp claws.
    4
  7275. Several of these places voted almost unanimously to remain part of Britain. But don't let the facts get in the way of your rant.
    4
  7276. Makes sense. The further away something is from its target when you try to shot it down, the better your chance of success.
    4
  7277. Even better would be introducing rapid, and readily available, testing for antibodies, and memory B and T cells, and NOT vaccinating those who gain NOTHING from vaccination.
    4
  7278. Sounds like throwing good money away. I doubt it will be well spent.
    4
  7279. Having done this, now would be the perfect time to finish off Putin's beloved Kerch bridge and completely isolate the Orcs there. It would cause both them and Putin to really panic. If some of those sea drones were packed with the most powerful explosives (not TNT) and the charges were well shaped then there's a good chance they could take out some of the bridges supports, which would put it out of commission for good.
    4
  7280. I just posted a similar comment. How quickly people forget the lessons of history: that rewarding aggression only encourages more aggression.
    4
  7281. It's very unlikely to be just about money. I tutor A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. By a good margin the majority of my students have parents or grandparents who were not born in the UK. In general, dyed-in-the-wool English kids and their parents do not value education highly, and certainly don't expect to work hard to achieve top grades. Most of these foreign students are probably a lot better than the English ones who didn't get a place.
    4
  7282. Most of the public are in full support of getting rid of useless degrees that waste 3 years of naive young people's lives, and leave them with massive debt.
    4
  7283. The TRUTH hurts!
    4
  7284. Sounds more like shrinks and do-gooders trying to make work for themselves.
    4
  7285. The kind of leader we need to replace Johnson is that very rare, and endangered, breed of honest and courageous MP. We need someone like Desmond Swayne, who had the guts and integrity to oppose the incredibly damaging, and totally unnecessary, covid-19 restrictions.
    4
  7286. Don't forget that in the US doctors live in constant fear of being sued. So most of those referred to hospital with EXTREMELY MILD Omicron don't need to be there.
    4
  7287. A few weeks ago I had two letters sent by second class post, where I was advised when they were posted. Each took more than 7 working days to reach me!
    4
  7288. I wonder how you say "high five" in Ukrainian.
    4
  7289. A lot of how a virus spreads is down to networking. Is there any reason to believe that those coming back from India would not have spread whatever variant was dominant over there? Also, even if one variant is better at latching on to us than another, can we really say that a person wouldn't simply have caught a different one in its absence. It seems to me that it's a bit like removing the winner from a race; we simply end up with a different winner. Those of us lacking bright yellow streaks down our back are inclined to think that the fuss made over variants is very much like the fuss Chicken Little made when an acorn fell on his head.😉

  7290. If these teachers actually cared about their students, and had even a little backbone, they would tell government where to stick their masks and testing.
    4
  7291. So, is TTK going to listen to his members, and the British people, like a PM should, or will he continue to play God, and do as he damn well pleases?
    4
  7292. One thing Russian state TV shows the world is that, unlike France and Germany, Britain is giving Ukraine decent support.
    4
  7293. Yep, money for the lawyers, and exoneration for the guilty.
    4
  7294. Sadly, the counter offensive has been impacted, because the army is being used, and using it's drones, to deliver bottled water. HOWEVER, this humanitarian crisis provides the perfect excuse for NATO to go into Ukraine to offer urgent humanitarian aid: which would free up Ukrainian forces.
    4
  7295. Cowardly Putin is going to be even more paranoid about venturing outside.
    4
  7296. ​@chrisblanco2980 Democracy usually means acceding to the will of the majority, and Hungary is in a minority of one.
    4
  7297. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    4
  7298. That's TTK to you!
    4
  7299. And YouTube shouldn't be removing most comments saying this!

  7300.  @angrybrit7331  TB is a bacterial infection, and so like all bacterial infections it is curable with antibiotics.
    4
  7301. Ukraine needs to set off a few fires like this in Russia!
    4
  7302. We desperately need the honest politicians on all sides, if there are enough of them, to get together and form a new party. At the moment choosing between Conservative and Labour is like choosing between the torturer who is going to shove a red hot poker up your arse, and the one who is going to pop your joints on the rack.
    4
  7303.  Max Mustermann  Because those of us who aren't selfish cowards recognise the importance of safeguarding our young people's education and mental health, and that this virus poses a negligible threat to them, and a really tiny one to those who teach them. Even animals put their young first!
    4
  7304. What fuels the anger and determination of strikers in so many areas is the sure and certain knowledge that there are vastly overpaid CEOs and managers in their organisations that absolutely do not deserve their salaries. And to add insult to injury its usually these very people that are telling the real workers that they don't deserve a fair wage.
    4
  7305. You couldn't send a clearer message that if you enter the UK illegally then you will be allowed to stay. Of course you will then also be housed and put on universal credit. Short of rolling out a red carpet at Dover, and hiring ferries to bring them across it's hard to imagine what more Starmer could do to encourage illegal migration.
    4
  7306. When I was growing up there was a saying: "A liar is worse than a thief, because at least you can lock away your things from a thief". These days most people think they are clever if they can get away with a lie, or cheating someone.

  7307. It should have been bloody obvious that keeping Joe Biden out of the campaign would have been extremely wise.
    4
  7308. Just kick Northern Ireland out of the Union. It's what most of us would vote for if there was a referendum in the rest of the UK.
    4
  7309. The "whole point of the Civil Service" is to carry out the orders of the ELECTED ministers that they answer to. Civil Servants are not elected, so any that refuse to put their own political leanings to one side, when it comes to their work, should be instantly dismissed.
    4
  7310. Looks like Ukraine had quite a few more cards than Donny thought, and might still be holding a few trumps (pun intended).
    4
  7311. There are lots of "deeply troubled" Russian regions. They are deeply troubled by being part of Putin's evil Russian Federation, which they want out of.
    4
  7312. The trouble is that even Sweden and Finland are still waiting to complete their membership, which is absolutely scandalous.
    4
  7313. Lies, damn lies, and lies told by Labour MPs.
    4
  7314. If only urban pigeons were healthy to eat, we could eat our way out of a massive problem.
    4
  7315.  @andrewyoung749  Well, most pensioners have paid their taxes throughout their lives. So perhaps the money could come from not increasing benefits for dole bludgers who have never done a decent day's work in their entire life.
    4
  7316. These police need to be paid a late night visit!
    4
  7317. For heaven's sake! Even before vaccines this was a virus that killed well under 1%, who were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. The cause of this anxiety is very simple. The UK is now stuffed to the gills with craven, quivering snowflakes, who are terrified of catching covid-19 from their own shadow. What millions in the UK now need to free themselves from is their totally irrational fear!
    4
  7318. They have to earn their daily banana allowance.

  7321. No, you would put them at risk from becoming unhealthy and obese.
    4
  7322. Sadly, there is an awful lot of truth in this.
    4
  7323. The great unwashed never seem to learn from history. One of the clearest, and easiest to understand, lessons is that you have to defend your freedom and liberty tenaciously. Every time you allow a despot to take some of it you can be absolutely certain that they will be back to take even more, until there's none less. I now fly a Swedish flag outside my home, to remind people that things really don't have to be this way.
    4
  7324. Just said the same.
    4
  7325. Deport these f**king judges!
    4
  7326. You can actually now buy stickers with Pootin's face on them to stick on the bins that people put their bags of dog feces in.
    4
  7327. While it's always good to see Russian tanks destroyed and their Orcs roasted, would it not be better to use long-range weapons to blow up supply depots and infrastructure? While a promise was made not to use these weapons on Russian territory, missiles were recently launched from Belarus, which makes for some very juicy legitimate targets there.
    4
  7328. FFS, just how difficult is it to shoot a hole in an inflatable?
    4
  7329. As everyone knows the word politician is synonymous with liar. In the UK we have a prime minister whose schoolmasters remember as being a liar. He is still a pathological liar, who can't be trusted to keep his promises.
    4
  7330. FGM, forced under-age marriage, and the grooming and abuse of young white girls has been illegal for decades. But police, councils and governments have turned a blind eye for decades, because they don't want to offend those of certain ethnicities. Does anyone really believe we will see a change? I certainly won't be holding my breath.
    4
  7331.  @annabelcottrell1835  You are either a pathological liar or very thick: maybe both. In a table of deaths per million Sweden isn't even in the top 50, unlike the UK and most EU countries.
    4
  7332. A rose by any other name. But what we're talking about here is a man by another name, and it stinks.
    4
  7333. One of the reasons I haven't been too fussed about going away this summer is that a lot of places seem to be having either heatwaves, forest fires, or floods. And to add to the fun there are a reasonable number of strikes to wind you up while travelling.
    4
  7334. Uh, have there been ANY anti-terrorism successes?
    4
  7335.  @NeoFreshair  I do indeed hate the hypocrisy. The plus side is that when the brainless sheep see government breaking all the rules then they will do the same.

  7337. The world can now rest safe in the knowledge that millions of wheat kernels have been de-nazified.🤣🤣🤣
    4
  7338. When I think of "outstanding" I imagine something along the lines of an Olympic athlete. When I think of "good" I imagine something being above average. Did parents have no suspicions at the large number of outstanding grades, and even larger number of good grades that Ofsted handed out? The truth is that most parents didn't want to question whether their child's school's assessment was grossly inflated. This is why, in reality, most UK state schools are bloody awful!
    4
  7339. Those British values that once made this a great country to live in are complete anathema to this Labour government, who hold both them and the people of this country in utter contempt. Heaven only knows how much damage will be done if Labour is allowed to serve anywhere near its full term.
    4
  7340. LMAO! Now we have a special operation to de-Nazify the Kremlin.
    4
  7341. If there is a paper version I will be scouring the internet for forgeries (don't have/won't a smart phone). This could be a very lucrative new market. Or perhaps some freedom loving individual might make them available at cost: as a public service.

  7343. Je suis toujours Charlie!
    4
  7344. Labour believes that freedom of speech is the freedom to agree with their views.
    4
  7345. Starmer has always been prepared to do anything to get his foot in No.10. That's why he supported the immensely damaging, and totally unnecessary Covid lockdowns and restrictions. He didn't give a damn how much they hurt people, particularly the poorest that he's meant to care about. He knew that they would ultimately make the Tories much less popular, and that was his ONLY concern.
    4
  7346. What else would you expect from someone who got pregnant and left school at 16 with no qualifications? It's terrifying that someone so thick is now deputy PM.
    4
  7347. When you care far more about the "human rights" of criminals, than decent people, this is the result!
    4
  7348. And parents should have fought to maintain their kids education and mental health, instead of just rolling over!
    4
  7349. Allowing MPs to rent out their London property and then claim accommodation expenses is truly outrageous institutional CORRUPTION! A list of MPs, that do this, and their London addresses, should be published.
    4
  7350. I bet there are now sanitised versions of books like Uncle Tom's Cabin and Huckleberry Finn out there. And I guess that singing that song about Sambo walking into the jungle is now a hanging offence.
    4
  7351. I bet most of the Russians dearly wish they could remain POWs!

    4
  7355. They need to be that close for the Russian Orcs to stand any chance of hitting them.
    4
  7356. It's easy to say how massively grateful one is. Words, and broken promises come very cheaply to most politicians, and especially this one. When one considers how important what they do is, and how hard they work, nurses have been massively underpaid for many years. Isn't it funny how the government has managed to find incredible sums of money for so many other things, and yet now claims it can't find the money to pay nurses fairly. Do people really believe this, or do they just not care? There's an old saying: Put your money where your mouth is!
    4
  7357. Especially Chicken Joe!

  7358. Well, our soldiers certainly shouldn't be dying for men who are too cowardly to look out for their own wives, daughters and sisters.

  7360.  @abegilbert5113  I just wish they had been cooked better. Well done as opposed to medium raw.
    4
  7361.  @andrewleach1323  You got that right. What went on in Rochdale, and recently in Bradford was not well reported and many perpetrators did not feel the full force of the law. And this kind of thing goes on in in many other places, but the news is vigorously suppressed.
    4
  7362. I have just ordered a Swedish flag from Amazon. In recognition of one of the very few countries who handled this pandemic sanely I will be flying it outside my house. I encourage everyone who isn't stupid enough to believe the scaremongering to do the same.
    4
  7363. So, at a time of crucial mental development, you bugger children's education and social connections to hell. Is it even slightly surprising that mental health problems among them have "blown out". And the real killer is that this virus poses a negligible risk to most kids, and a really tiny one to most of their teachers. What kind of sick and selfish society sacrifices it's children's wellbeing purely to minutely lower the risk to those who are over 80?
    4
  7364. "hundreds of experts" Except that these are "experts" in things like privacy and data protection. They aren't anywhere near bright enough to be experts in AI!
    4
  7365. It's incredibly important that Hamas, and anyone supporting them is made to pay at least 10 times as high a price!
    4
  7366. Alternatively, why do the queen, and other royals worry so much about people knowing about their health. It's just plain silly. If she was suffering from chronic flatulence then I could understand, but most illnesses are nothing that one needs to hide.
    4
  7367. I don't like to see any civilians killed, but maybe it's time that Ukraine special ops carried out the equivalent of the Twin Towers, or the London Underground bombing, in Moscow. Putin thinks he can carry out these outrages with impunity. He needs to be shown that he can't. And ordinary Russians need to be made to understand that supporting an insane psychopath comes at a very high price.

  7368. I revere it as much as I revere Christianity, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny.

  7371. Hate to make the Putin fanboys cry, but it's still unsure whether this was an ammo dump or just some chemical storage area.

  7374. In recent months Putin has been looking more and more like a drowning man. Trump has just thrown him a lifeline!
    4
  7375. Several of my university courses were in nuclear physics: including both theoretical nuclear physics and a study of different reactor types. I wonder how qualified most of these frightened politicians are to make any judgement whatsoever on nuclear power?
    4
  7376. If it wasn't for the NHS my mother would have died when I was in my teens, rather than living to 90, most of which was a good life for her. The problem is in the way successive governments of both parties have allowed the NHS to massively deteriorate. Once upon a time we used to value and look after our nurses and doctors. In my teens there was housing for them next to Chase Farm Hospital, which was closed down decades ago, and then sold to developers.
    4
  7377. People who have already had the virus and take the vaccine are mentally deficient. They are already immune, and would be taking something that has skipped over 4 years of safety tests.
    4
  7378. The government told people how safe these vaccines were, time and time again. Can you imagine the reaction if people ever start to believe they have been lied to on this, especially those who vaccinated their kids?
    4
  7379. MI5 or MI6 could quickly track down and deal with these gangs if the government really wanted them dealt with.
    4
  7380. Let me give you my personal experience of one reason why private schools provide a far better education. A little over ten years ago I went to work at the International School of Milan. They took one look at my experience and put me right on the top of their entry pay scale. When I subsequently returned to the UK what I found in UK state schools was a dysfunctional mess. Firstly they refused to accept CVs (the gold standard for educated professionals), expecting applicants to waste many hours (no exaggeration) filling in their appallingly designed application forms. But even for those prepared to do this the applications of older more experienced teachers went straight in the bin, because they are more expensive.

  7381. And the few that aren't are so greedy that they make Shylock look like a philanthropist.

  7382. So, lockdown riots in Lybia, Tunisia and the Netherlands. Coming soon to a UK street near you. People have had enough!
    4
  7383. Robinsons should bring them back. It would very likely increase their jam sales.
    4
  7384. You are so right on this Mercy. I've lost count of the number of times I see parents open up a packet for their kids to eat before even reaching the cashier in the super market. They are taught to snack compulsively almost from birth. As for obesity being linked to poverty, it's often far cheaper to cook healthy meals than binge on junk food.
    4
  7385. My main concern is that compared to crimes like burglaries, assaults and murders, mask wearing is way down the scale, and diverting police to enforce this is a completely unacceptable use of very limited resources. Chief constables that do this are not serving and protecting the public. They are corrupt, and should be removed from office!

  7389. After slaughtering many more Russians than died in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign, and making Russia simultaneously a laughing stock, and a country held in the utmost contempt, Putin is truly desperate for something that he can sell as a victory. The way things are going his time is rapidly running out!
    4
  7390. Yesterday, in M&S I was outraged that they had put a chocolate swiss roll up from £1.50 to £1.75. That's a whooping and greedy 16.7%, so I didn't buy it. However, VAT is an outrageous 20%, so most prices could be held steady by slashing this vastly excessive tax.
    4
  7391. There's a lot of virus particles going around at the moment. Just because some are detected in your body (i.e. you test positive) emphatically does not mean you have covid-19. Your immune system may well destroy these virus particles and thus prevent you developing the disease, or the test may very well be detecting just the fragments of virus particles that your immune system has already destroyed. As Sajid has had both jabs these scenarios are vastly more likely.

  7394. If Israel had done it the facility would have been completely flattened.
    4
  7395. Telling the truth about the Indian variant. How the government and media must hate you for ruining their groundless scaremongering. The question about cleaning groceries or post really cracked me up. Throughout this headless chicken panic I've been carrying on shopping without any changes whatsoever to my routine, other than having the needless inconvenience of having to queue to get into shops.
    4
  7396. The trouble with this "cat and mouse game" is that the UK and US are acting like scaredy cats!
    4
  7397. There are some on the streets due to genuine misfortune, but let's face the facts. Most on the streets are either alcoholics, drug addicts, or mentally disturbed. These need to be removed and kept in secure institutions for their own good. But don't worry, because that would cost a lot of money, it won't happen.
    4
  7398. Does anyone really care what Useless Eustice says? 53% of adults have now been fully vaccinated, and we are told that these vaccines are "highly effective". For almost all of those who have not been vaccinated covid-19 poses a negligible risk. There is NO RATIONAL REASON why people shouldn't now holiday ANYWHERE they please. And God knows they deserve a good holiday after all the panicked nonsense this power crazed, cowardly government has put them through for well over a year.
    4
  7399. With the supply lines from Belgorod cut, and most of the Kerch bridge out of action, it's now harder for the Orcs to replace weapons that have been destroyed.

  7404. It's hard to really imagine a downside, and we would learn an incredible amount from such attempts, which might really benefit humans.

  7405. If he says it outright YouTube will ban him!

  7406. Look at what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower, in London, with far less resources than Ukraine. If Russians expected similar incidents whenever they attacked Ukrainian cities then these attacks might well stop.

  7408. Maybe some generals will decide that "removing" Putin is better than having unfortunate encounters with scooters.
    4
  7409. ​ @73chengosaro4  Now don't cry when I tell you this, but Putin would already have flatted Kyiv if he could.

  7410. To almost everyone, except a dumb or corrupt politician this is as plain as the nose on ones face!
    4
  7411. It does now seem likely that Russia is in control of Soledar. However, the silver lining is that it has been bought at the cost of a great many Wagner Orcs. Swapping Soledar, which is not of strategic importance, for so many slaughtered Orcs may well have been a really good deal for Ukraine.
    4
  7412. At last, someone talking sense! We also need to enforce an underlying principle that nobody who can work should get money for doing nothing. There are countless community and ecological projects that people could be made to do to earn the money that us taxpayers give them.
    4
  7413. Party on! And way past time.
    4
  7414. This will be intensely humiliating and embarrassing to Putin. In a few days time, on Putin's watch, Russia's border with NATO will have more than doubled.
    4
  7415. It would be if it were true.🤣

  7416. The proof of this is that people like me can sound off against Boris Johnson and the like, calling them everything under the sun, without fearing a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and then "disappearing" forever.

  7420. The Korean jet could have done the same if idiots hadn't put an obstruction at the end of the runway. It really is that simple.
    4
  7421. One has to ask the question as to why the government is even asking for another 6 months when we have an irrevocable roadmap due to be completed in June. Which begs the next question. Knowing that there is this roadmap, and that 29 million have now been vaccinated, why did most MPs support this? Is there a list of the MPs who have shown a total contempt for our parliamentary (erstwhile) democracy, and sold their constituents down the river?
    4
  7422.  @knowledgeable832  You really aren't at all bright, as a tiny bit of research would show that I'm not.

    4
  7424. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    4
  7425. We really do need a game changer, and quickly! It's looking like the Ukrainian advance is rapidly deteriorating into the kind of trench warfare we witnessed in WW I, and this strongly favours the Orcs. It's incredibly unfortunate that they were given time to dig in, and it may cost Ukraine dearly.
    4
  7426. I suspect that Rwanda deals a lot more harshly (justly?) with criminals.
    4
  7427. Most people in the UK don't want the squabbling bigots in Northern Ireland in the Union. This troublesome country should be cut loose to go it alone, or beg the Republic of Ireland to have them.

  7429. This could save the NHS a fortune. Instead of expensive weight loss jabs just prescribe watching this video before and after each meal.
    4
  7430. I don't no whether it's worse in the US, but the UK policies are completely insane. We have lots of remote Scottish islands that are either very sparsely populated or not populated at all. It wouldn't be at all difficult, or that expensive to set up detention camps on some of these. They are bleak places, where the sea is far to rough to escape from in a small boat, and so would be an excellent deterrent. Even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested doing this years ago. But instead our government squanders countless millions keeping illegals in top notch hotels, paying the French for doing nothing to stop them, and Rwanda for not receiving any of them.
    4
  7431. Dream on Putin fanboy.

  7432. Looking at the MASSIVE advantage Russia took of last year's winter pause, Ukraine can't even afford to stop fighting during this winter!

  7433. Most Canadians support the truckers. This is a fight for basic human rights, against a cowardly tyrant who has run away and hidden.

  7434. Sorry to disabuse you of your superstitions, but there is no such thing as soul.
    4
  7435. If there hadn't been insane, and totally ineffective, lockdowns then it would have been much easier to focus on just isolating those relatively few who were at high risk!
    4
  7436. If Boris hadn't lost his bottle, and resisted calls for lockdowns, he would have been hailed as a hero, and now be enjoying another 5 years as PM.
    4
  7437. No big deal as there has been no statistically significant rise in hospital numbers for some time now.
    4
  7438. That's what you get for not having the sense and integrity to call Ukraine's "I want to live" 24/7 hotline, and surrender.
    4
  7439. This totally misses the point. The real betrayal is that the police can't use random stop and search, and the courts won't impose severe penalties when someone is caught carrying something that is very clearly intended as a weapon. Does anyone ever stop to ask why knife crime was much less common 50 years ago?
    4
  7440. If it was TTK's house they would all be fast-tracked to jail.
    4
  7441. Most of the world is proud of the Canadian Truckers and strongly supports them. If they stand firm then they can get rid of Tyrant Trudeau, and the rest of the world will probably start getting rid of their own despots. I'm sure these truckers are a massive inspiration to Austrians resisting the Fourth Reich.

  7442. If these idiots had voted Reform UK in the first place then we wouldn't be in so much of a mess.

  7443. Lying on a CV is knowingly making a false statement for financial gain. This is CRIMINAL FRAUD!
    4
  7444. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol, which is how democracy is supposed to work. So, why is Boris pandering to a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who are driven solely by their hate of Catholics and the Irish Republic?
    4
  7445. We really need to give Ukraine the means to sink these Russian ships.
    4
  7446. I wonder if it can carry enough explosives to damage the supports of the Kerch bridge.

  7447. As many of us said before the election, if Labour gets in they will roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants.
    4
  7448. Exactly!

  7449. Getting TTK to define a working woman would be amusing to listen to.
    4
  7450. As others are saying, he's protecting his bros.
    4
  7451. Russia had two major supply routes. One was from Belgorod in the north, and the other was the Kerch bridge in the south. The Belgorod one was cut off a few weeks back. The Kerch bridge route is now at the least severely compromised. So militarily this is very significant. But it is equally significant politically as it is closely associated with Putin, and something he was immensely proud of. You have to have great faith in coincidence to believe that this happened by chance on his birthday. This a very public and serious humiliation for him. Even Russians don't enjoy having a leader that most of the world is mocking and laughing at.
    4
  7452. And the more we hear the surer we are that we made the right decision!
    4
  7453. When Graham says we need a change of government she means a Labour one. The current one may be useless, but Starmer and his cronies would be just as bad, if not worse.
    4
  7454. I wholeheartedly vote IDF.
    4
  7455. If this is so then perhaps we should worry (a lot) about what Russia is giving North Korea in return!
    4
  7456. So much for Russia being a great military power. Having to rely on both North Korean munitions and soldiers shows just how desperate Putin has become.
    4
  7457. No, no, no! It's definitely not because of the corona virus. It's because of the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. Isn't it strange how even a year on Sweden is still enjoying a lower death rate than the UK, without destroying its peoples jobs, education, and mental health. What Downing Street has done to the people of this country is criminal!
    4
  7458. Ukraine should have taken down this bridge ages ago, but instead they just stand by and watch Putin strengthen it's defenses. Is it any wonder countries are getting fed up funding a defense that Ukraine doesn't appear to be taking seriously?
    4
  7459. The trouble is that London also has the crown as the rip-off capital of the world in a country that as a whole also holds that crown.
    4
  7460. Just how hard would it be to take Kim Jong-un, his sister, and a few of their insane, power crazed side-kicks out. I suspect that most North Koreans would be incredibly grateful to whoever did this. If China has expansionist plans might I suggest that they take over North Korea. It would definitely be a humanitarian act. It's difficult to imagine anyone offering a rational objection to this.
    4
  7461. That UN council would be more aptly named Muslim rights, which is the only thing it cares about.
    4
  7462. So, I'm not the only one saying this. Years ago one would have been very deeply ashamed to have been labeled as mentally ill. Now an incredible number of people seem to wear the label like a badge of honour.
    4
  7463. When this is all over there will be a first class opportunity for a comedy like Allo, Allo, or the WW I Black Adder series. The Russian military is now the laughing stock of the world. And bombing their own city, a few hours ago, really cracked most of us up: best laugh many of us have had in a long time.
    4
  7464. ​ @martindewar3352  My comment saying more or less the same has been removed or hidden by YouTubes Artificial Stupidity bots.
    4
  7465. Like not paying benefits to the hundreds of thousands of work-shy, and not putting up illegals in 4 star hotels?
    4
  7466. As long as the message isn't threatening people need to remember that rhyme little kids used to chant, before we all became so fragile. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." I'm reminded of a sketch which may have been from a Carry On film. A man knocks on the door and a slat opens. The man says: "your mother smelt worse than the rear end of a camel". The man inside opens the door and says: "you knew my mother, come in friend".
    4
  7467. Let's not delude ourselves. Most MPs, regardless of party, go into politics to serve themselves rather than their constituents.
    4
  7468. Whenever I see cases like this I KNOW that we should have the death penalty for such murderers. It doesn't matter if they are barking mad, they richly deserve to die, and there are no shortage of people, myself included, who would be more than willing to rid the world of them.
    4
  7469. I'm far more concerned about reports that Sunak's wife's companies are doing business with Russia.
    4
  7470. As with individuals and companies, one usually only learns that they have been economically devastated after it has happened.
    4
  7471. Yes, it really does seem that the UK no longer has a free media. The government seems to be well and truly now in charge of what we hear. You can be absolutely certain that the whole vigil would have gone unreported if the government could have got away with it. I now have to get almost all my news about anything that's anti lockdown from Russian sponsored Ruptly. Though even a lot of this news now seems to be being blocked by You Tube!
    4
  7472. Hopefully enough MPs, who believe that one shouldn't tear up legally binding agreements that one has made, will stop any changes. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol. It shouldn't be changed just to pander to a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic.
    4
  7473. Moscow is the centre of power in Russia, and has been virtually unscathed for the last 3 years. Putin knows that if Muscovites start feeling some serious pain then they WILL remove him and end HIS war.
    4
  7474.  @tartanchaos8914  Fair point. I suppose a lot of people make fun of England, even though many didn't vote for our clown.
    4
  7475. Blowing up some of the oil and gas pipelines, supplying countries that are happy to buy from Russia would help even more. It's impossible to defend 1000s of miles of pipe, and you only need one hole anywhere in it to stop the flow.
    4
  7476. Why are you lying?
    4
  7477. All this harm because lazy selfish parents would rather watch a soap opera than cook for their kids.
    4
  7478. Putin's threats remind me of the evil psychopath in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, making threats right up to the moment he is flayed alive.
    4
  7479. One explosion or two? If the there was only one on the tracks then one would expect the carriageway nearer to the railway to have been damaged, rather than that on the far side. Similarly, if the explosion occurred on the collapsed section of the carriageway then how did the railway get damaged while the other carriageway survived. At any rate, I wouldn't want to drive over that blackened section of carriageway, no matter how safe Putin and his clowns says it is.
    4
  7480. Just how long are people prepared to forego their rights and freedoms? Lockdown was sold as a 3 month solution. People should have fought back then and insisted that the far better solution advised in the Great Barrington Declaration was followed. But instead they acquiesced like frightened little lambs going to the slaughter. And what has the result been? We have had our rights and freedoms trampled on for an entire year, with no end to this in sight. The price of giving into oppression is more and even worse oppression! Repeat after me: "jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, but never jam today". Maybe not the White Queen, but we definitely have plenty of drama queens in Downing Street.
    4
  7481. The same old levelling down Labour policies. Private education significantly REDUCES the burden on state schools. Rather than destroy such schools that provide a better education, there should be a focus on improving the ABYSMAL education offered by the vast majority of state schools. There are two main causes of this: 1. The appalling discipline in most state schools discourages the best teachers from working in them. 2. In most state schools the applications of older more experienced teachers go straight in the bin! They are only interested in employing the cheapest. Never mind just newly qualified teachers, often its actually trainees. Those who don't believe this should take a look at how many older mainstream teachers there are in a state school they know.
    4
  7482.  @joecater894  Too true. 40 odd years ago I found myself looking for work after companies had done the milk round: a very bad time to be looking. So I ended up in the Home Office. There were a few very bright people, but they were very much in the minority, and nobody had to work particularly hard.
    4
  7483. The trouble is we are currently not short of stark raving mad "leaders". We have got Trudeau in Canada and Ardern in New Zealand to name but two of many.

  7484. That's why it will be really good if we have an almighty housing market crash that makes owning a home affordable to a lot more people: and I say this as a house owner.

  7485. As far as the Scots and Welsh are concerned their administrations are doing exactly right by them! If anyone isn't pulling their weight it's Cleverly (what an ironic surname) by letting them in in the first place.
    4
  7486. Just think of what might have been if people had had the intelligence and courage to not vote for the Tories or Labour in the first place.
    4
  7487. Ah, yes. The days when teachers generally knew their subjects. Towards the end of my secondary schooling I can remember seeing the rubbish teachers start to creep in. Everyone knew they were rubbish, but it didn't stop them flooding into schools.
    4
  7488. So YouTube will trample on those who publish it.

  7490. When it comes to anything Sunak promises, most people should remember the following old adage: "Blessed are those who expect not, for they shall not be disappointed"

  7491. We only have Russia's word that 65 PoWs were on board. And Russia is not renowned for its veracity!

  7495. There are a growing number of doctors and scientists becoming concerned that boosters are going to screw up people's immune system. For over 99% sars-cov-2 poses a really tiny risk, so trust your immune system, rather than these rushed through vaccines, it's been playing this game for around a billion years.

    4
  7500. Russia has an excellent track record of either murdering its own returned POWs or sending them off to Gulags, where they probably die anyway, but just more slowly. Also, Putin's Russia is as bad, if not worse than Stalin's Russia, which murdered 22,000 Polish officers. So I don't hold out that much hope for Russia honouring the articles of war, in regard to those who surrendered, let alone exchanging them. And let's not forget that, unlike the reluctant soldiers they would be getting back, these Ukrainian soldiers are incredibly brave and tenacious, and would be anxious to return to active duty ASAP.

  7501. "There's a lot of land that's been taken" So if a thief breaks into your house the more he takes, the more he gets to keep? We tried letting the aggressor keep his spoils in 1938. Didn't that work out well!

  7502. Yep, no shortage of bed wetting teachers terrified that they would catch covid and die, if they continued doing their job properly.

  7503. Blame dishonest, jealous teachers. They should be telling their students just how much a good tradesman, like a plumber makes. And that they don't have to work anywhere near as hard, and probably enjoy their jobs a lot more.

  7504. The despicable act of a spiteful and vindictive government, who won't even accept the verdict of their own judges.

  7507. If only we could track down everyone who watches things like Love Island and Big Brother, and take away their right to vote. People that stupid cannot be trusted with such responsibility.

  7508. My sister is a retired nurse, and probably has enough material on this "awful culture" to fill a book. After what I've heard, if I had a child that became a NHS manager I'd disown them and change my name!

  7509. A lot of truth in that. As someone who now privately tutors A-level maths, chemistry and physics, I'm regularly horrified by how poor the "teaching" of these subjects is.

  7510. With 9.4 million (25% of those of working age) claiming they can't work just think of how many tens of billions are being squandered on fraudulent benefit claims!

    4
  7514. This is almost certain. Even though Ukraine is killing several times as many Russians as their own losses, Putin is totally relying on winning by pure force of numbers. Putting boots on the ground would destroy this possibility: and the ordinary Russian people too would realise that they were in for far greater loses.
    4
  7515. This shouldn't have been necessary. It's on a par with needing to tell very young children not to stick their hand in the fire.

    4
  7521. I'm not sure that this kind of warfare is a good choice for Ukrainians, because when it comes to crude slugging it out the Orcs definitely seem to have a big advantage. Ukrainian forces seem far better, indeed very good, when adopting shoot and scoot tactics.

  7526.  @tmbts902  As in the UK, dishonest governments, and their lapdog "scientists", have exploited the gross scientific illiteracy of the vast majority to push their agenda of fear.

  7531. Peace talks? Have people learnt nothing from Munich 1938? Only someone as delude as Chamberlain was then would even consider having peace talks with Putin. Until he is removed any "peace" would simply be a pause while he regrouped and reconstituted his forces for a far more vicious future attack.
    4
  7532. This man looks as if he would seriously benefit from cycling and walking, rather than taking taxis!

  7533. Well we all know that Putin is a really forgiving type, and had put the massive humiliation the mutiny caused him behind him.
    4
  7534. He's certainly a world class *anker.

  7537. First make a genuine effort towards reaching this goal in the UK. Much more affordable public transport would go a long way towards getting people out of their cars, as it's still often much cheaper to drive, which makes no sense. Those who have never lived abroad don't realise what an almighty RIP-OFF public transport is in this country.

    4
  7550. "Risk-averse" is a polite way of saying cowardly! The way all the bad stats are now plummeting is more than enough reason to immediately end this immensely damaging lockdown, without replacing it with similarly damaging restrictions. The scum in Downing Street don't seem to be averse to risking people's jobs, young people's education, and the mental health of millions.

  7555. Rather than having confidence in Boris, think of such a vote as having even less confidence in the wankers lining up to replace him.

  7562. Is it any wonder that the dinghy boys just keep on coming when we keep rewarding them with nice comfortable accommodation in pleasant areas?
    4
  7563. Let's hope better use is made of these long-range missiles than has been made of the F16s that were meant to make such a difference.
    4
  7564. This is a very good summary of the state of play. The West and NATO would do well to take note of it before cutting aid to Ukraine, because whatever else is happening Russia is not winning.
    4
  7565. There are an awful lot of serving American, British and Polish soldiers who would dearly love to be wasting Orc arse in Ukraine. In fact, many fighter pilots from these countries are straining at the leash to be given the opportunity to clear all Orcs from the Ukraine sky, and paint the score on their jets.
    4
  7566. Oh good, they were moving. I do love roast Orc.
    4
  7567. Of course it's no deterrent. Lots of homeless people sleeping on our streets would think they had died and gone to heaven if they were given such comfortable free accommodation, and also well fed. As so many are asking, what's wrong with setting up some tents or nissen huts on a remote Scottish island? This would be a lot cheaper, wouldn't cause fear in the local community, and WOULD be a deterrent.
    4
  7568. While I don't think abortion is something frivolous that we should have a casual approach to, I absolutely support a woman's right to choose. By the way, I also support any doctor's right to refuse to carry out such operations, if they are not a matter of life or death for the mother. But I'm sick of hearing this "silent prayer" or "praying in my head" excuse. Women attending these clinics can be very intimidated just by the presence of a God squad loitering outside them: which is exactly why these people do it.

  7569. Another opportunity to take Putin out being wasted!

  7572. If Erdogan were to have an "accident" now there would be no reason not to suspect that it wasn't one of his own people, infuriated at his appalling handling of the earthquake disaster.
    4
  7573. If police aren't prepared to protect people then people have absolutely no choice other than to take the law into their own hands. In America shopkeepers are allowed to keep a gun behind the counter, and if they shoot a criminal most people applaud their action. But in the UK it seems that the law cares far more about the rights of criminals than about those of decent, hardworking, law abiding citizens.

  7574. Fortunately most of the famine is occurring in countries that either support Putin, or failed to condemn him.

  7575. The public ARE complete (and spineless) fools, or they would never have accepted having their rights and liberties taken away for a virus with an IFR of just 0.3%, that overwhelmingly just affects the very old and/or very sick.

  7576. Does anyone now doubt that Australia is being ruled by a bunch of vicious spiteful children, with no respect for the law laid down by their own judges? Any Open tennis player who is a decent human being should withdraw from the contest unless Novak is reinstated. Besides, any victory without having to face the 9 times reigning champion will be a complete farce.
    4
  7577. I just a made a similar comment. Charles and Camilla would now be enjoying over 40 years of a fairytale marriage if there hadn't been any interference, but people don't like to be told this truth.
    4
  7578. Some people, like plumbers and electricians, genuinely need to drive. But most of these "angry drivers" are incredibly selfish individuals who should themselves be cycling, walking or taking public transport. Their totally selfish actions are pumping vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and polluting the air that our children breath. We need far more cycle lanes, not less.

  7584. Stop spending our money on having 3 times as many managerial and admin staff than the NHS actually needs!
    4
  7585. It's the same with shoplifters and other law breakers. In the UK the rights of criminals are paramount.

  7586. If these soldiers had a shred of integrity they would have called Ukraine's "I want to live" 24/7 hotline and surrendered. So they deserve no mercy or sympathy.
    4
  7587. Well the UK is stuffed to the gills with frightened morons. So it isn't very hard for the government to scare them into giving up there freedoms.

  7597. So true. This couldn't have come at a worse time for Putin.
    4
  7598. Here's something to think about. How many deaths would be recorded if we recorded them for people wearing red underwear, who died within 28 days? There would be rather a lot, but would you then conclude that the red underwear had killed them?

  7599. Trump seems to be the only person on the world who doesn't realise that Putin pays no attention to anything he says.

  7600. Isn't funny how much some people seem to care about those who have committed multiple murders, but spare very little thought for their victims, or the families or their victims.
    4
  7601. There's an old saying: "use it or lose it". The stores that are closing are in areas where people are too damn stupid to take advantage of the wonderful value they offer. Keeping less profitable stores open means that other sensible people will have to pay more because of others' foolishness.
    4
  7602. When I was growing up being on the dole or claiming mental illness was a cause of deep shame for most people. You would have had to have been a truly bad apple to try and play the mental health card to avoid work and claim benefits. Yet now most of those 25% of working age who are not working are PROUD to do exactly this.

  7605. These parents are both incredibly stupid and intensely selfish. Even if their son stood a remote chance of waking up they would be condemning him to a living (for want of a better word) hell. The doctors should have pulled the plug ages ago, and hopefully they will now do so without delay. When a kid has a really bad accident, or is born with a serious disability, idiot parents need to consider the quality of life. They should ask themselves whether they would want the existence they are condemning a kid to.

  7610. I'm trying to think of a despotic dictator that Trump isn't a fanboy of.
    4
  7611. The Rwanda plan was almost as dumb as it gets. I say almost, because paying the French to keep illegals in their country, that they don't want, was even dumber. Hopefully Starmer will also stop these payments. If Starmer is serious about stopping illegals then he needs to heed the advice of his predecessor Tony Blair. Although a human rights lawyer, Blair suggested holding these illegals on a remote, bleak Scottish island. Now, that would be a strong deterrent, and relatively cheap.

  7612. Having an HONEST MP like Desmond Swayne as PM would probably do the job, but we will probably get yet another self-serving wide boy.

  7614. When I first saw "breast binders" I thought I'd be reading about something going on in Africa. It looks like our schools have moved on from mental abuse to physical abuse. Maybe some will soon be offering breast ironing services: if you don't know, believe me, you don't want to.

  7617.  @markkearney959  Shortly after infection antibodies can easily be tested for. After a longer period there are now some clinics offering to test for memory B and T cells, which probably last a lifetime, and regenerate antibodies ONLY when they are actually needed.
    4
  7618. Spare a thought for millions of very poor OAPs who Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". They will now get a pension rise well below inflation. Even if the rise they are entitled to hadn't been STOLEN from them they would still have suffered grievously. Do people really not know that, despite being one of the richest countries, the UK state pension is one of the meanest in the world?
    4
  7619. Yes traffic noise is a true curse. And what really angers me is some blind people who want to make quiet electric cars noisy.
    4
  7620. This is why inflation is such a terrible evil. Those with the mussel can push up their wages to compensate for it, but the weak get left behind and crucified. This especially applies for the elderly when they are cheated out of the "triple lock", which is the only protection of many who are already desperately poor.

  7621. Kiwis really let themselves down when they elected somebody as obviously thick as Ardern. Hopefully they have now come to their senses.
    4
  7622. You NEVER see pictures of Russian kids being pulled from ruins, because Ukrainians aren't rabid animals that target defenceless women and children. And yet despite many such videos there are still vile excuses for human beings that support Putin: indeed many enjoy seeing such videos.

  7627. This is getting really tired. Is there ever a time when someone criticised or disagrees with TTK that he doesn't roll out the "far-right" accusation?

  7628. Housing them in tents or nissen huts on a cold, wet, remote Scottish island would be secure, relatively cheap, and a really good deterrent.
    4
  7629. Mainstream media vigorously suppressed information on some truly massive anti-lockdown demonstrations. Even today they are very fast to remove material suggesting mRNA vaccines might be dangerous: no matter how strong the science, or reputable the source. Let's be very clear on this. There is absolutely no solid scientific evidence to prove that lockdowns saved lots of life, There is, however, an abundance of evidence that they have done an insane amount of damage to this country, and the people in it. Also, we should remember that Sweden, without any lockdowns, had a lower death rate: and don't believe the lies people come up with to explain this.
    4
  7630. MI5 should take out those 20,000 or so that are a serious worry. It would protect decent people, and be a lot cheaper than keeping them under surveillance.
    4
  7631. Well, of course a liar is going to lie and say that he doesn't lie.🤣
    4
  7632. None of us with any sense expected Putin to honour his agreement, but few expected him to break it before the ink was even dry on the paper. This should demonstrate to even the most mentally feeble the utter futility of negotiating any sort of peace deal with this deranged psychopath. The ONLY possibility for peace is Putin's "removal".
    4
  7633. Well, one thing Rishi learnt from Boris was how to lie through his teeth. With so many people saying that they will vote Reform UK, it is very possible that not only might they push the Tories into third place, but Reform might even end up in first place!
    4
  7634. Getting rid of the vastly excessive numbers of managers and admin staff would easily pay for a decent pay rise for those doing the real work.

  7635. Time for the Orcs to run away across what's left of the Kerch bridge before it's taken out completely.

  7640. I am laughing my head off. Although 63, as I very likely have had covid-19 (no big deal) I know it is equally likely that I now probably have very good natural immunity, so unlike all the good little sheep I haven't had the vaccine. Isn't it funny how, after months of being told how safe this vaccine is, the wind now seems to be shifting. Those who aren't brainwashed will be asking themselves whether later on there will revelations about the other (rushed through) covid-19 vaccines. Yet despite this there still seems to be great enthusiasm for coercing people into being vaccinated, by introducing vaccine passports. For those who are at high risk from covid-19, getting the vaccine makes very good sense. Those who are not should have the relative risks explained to them and be left to decide for themselves without any pressure. Finally, with such low risk to them, anyone under about 30 should not be vaccinated at all. This is especially so when one considers that if they contract covid-19 then their acquired natural immunity may be far better able to protect them from future variants and similar viruses, than that conferred by vaccination.

  7642. As they aren't too bright, I hope the government understands that getting ELECTRICITY to into ordinary homes has the highest priority. Without it people's central heating won't work no matter how much gas is made available to them. Also, all the food in fridges and freezers will go off, but due to money being tight a lot will still be tempted to eat it, leading to many food poisoning cases.
    4
  7643. You know, when there are no journalists watching, I'm really surprised that this pathetic excuse for a man is able to walk the streets without someone giving him the damn good slap he so richly deserves.
    4
  7644. More like an entire salt mine.
    4
  7645. This will only improve when more countries stop the vaccine passport fascism, and the pain in the arse testing requirements.
    4
  7646. Anyone can see that most MPs aren't particularly bright, especially the ones in the cabinet. Equally, most don't do a particularly good job. So why should they be paid 3 times the average wage, plus very generous expenses? They simply aren't worth it.
    4
  7647. Not everybody, my friend. I'm a Pure Blood, who doesn't wear a mask, and proud to stand up and be counted.
    4
  7648. We don't have to actually give the jets to Ukraine or train their pilots, because there are an awful lot of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just itching to be sent on missions to shoot Orcs out of the Ukrainian sky.
    4
  7649. We already know that the government of the world's largest prison are the bad guys. It's just a question of how bad they are. This is a country where you can now be woken up in the middle of the night, by the police knocking on your door, and then dragged off and imprisoned in a detention camp.
    4
  7650. Thanks for making me smile. I was around that age when I returned to the UK after teaching abroad. Despite being excellent at teaching maths, physics and chemistry I've been tutoring ever since. Schools don't want older teachers. As well as the higher cost they despise our "old-fashioned" morals. I imagine it's the same in many other areas too.
    4
  7651. Well, when you are a deranged psychopath, I guess that having a 100,000 of your troops killed or maimed is no loss.
    4
  7652. With 9.4 million of working age (that's 25%) not working, one has to ask oneself how many millions of these can work, but just don't want to, and are receiving benefits. Going after these people would bring in vastly more money than cutting pensioners' winter fuel allowance!
    4
  7653. "I don't like the scarf". This is why I am so against things like hijabs and burkas. If teachers in the UK, and elsewhere, cared enough to ask their students whether they liked wearing these things they would hear a resounding NO! Some girls and women choose to wear them, but the vast majority do not. Allowing women to be oppressed is not being culturally sensitive.
    4
  7654. FIFA knew that certain countries don't welcome the LGBT brigade. If FIFA wasn't prepared to accept that those of this disposition would have to contain their urges, while visiting Qatar, then they shouldn't have given the country the games. It really is that simple!
    4
  7655. More important is the woke determination of too many teachers to keep bad disruptive kids in the classroom. The woke brigade keep prattling on about these kids' right to an education, without giving a toss about the good kids who want to learn and are having their lessons destroyed. When I was on my teacher training practice the class's usual teacher was very upset that I was coming down very heavily on 4 highly disruptive boys, so she took them out to teach by herself. It was as if someone had waved a magic wand over the class. The rest of the students almost instantly became so much more motivated and happy and the improvement in learning was astounding.
    4
  7656. It was a special operation to de-Nazify the coffee.
    4
  7657. I'm 63, and my idea of a good time is reading a maths book, but I have a lot of sympathy for these young people. For a virus that doesn't touch them they have had their lives totally screwed up. They have had their education destroyed, lost their jobs, and many have experienced mental health issues. Enough is enough. It's way past time to get off young people's backs. What kind of dystopian society sacrifices its young for the sake a a few over 80s who have already enjoyed a long good life?

  7664. One would hope that those keeping Putin in power would now realise that there is no victory in sight for Russia, and "remove" him.
    4
  7665. If I said what I'd like to do to spineless Sunak, and his incompetent cabinet, for doing this to these poor students then I'd get banned from YouTube, and a visit from the police.
    4
  7666. Have we really lost our democratic values and art of debate, or might it be much more the case that we have let in so many that never had such values in the first place?

  7667. We can be absolutely certain that if the wound is serious than Russia will do all it can to hide the fact.

  7672. Me too, and laughing my head off at the stupidity of those who got the needle.
    4
  7673. This is absolutely insane. Most of the world, admittedly very belatedly, realised a while back that lockdowns were about as useful as King Canute telling the tide not to come in. Also, even China can't make it's borders watertight, so covid-19 will keep returning to China.
    4
  7674. What's particularly sad is that out of all the MPs this maniac considered he killed BY FAR the most decent one.
    4
  7675. The Conservatives have destroyed themselves. Cameron reminds me of the badly behaved schoolboys I used to teach, who always blamed someone else for their bad behaviour.
    4
  7676. I've just made a similar comment. Let's see whether YouTube removes it. Notice, also, how many men are making a fuss over this, or want to see the girl punished.

  7677.  Alex  Is one of Putin's little fan boys upset by what I said?
    4
  7678. Here is some information that isn't misleading. The French generate 70% of their electricity using nuclear energy. So they have a clean, very reliable source, with even some to spare and sell to Britain. Also, you can build nuclear power stations near where the power is needed, thus avoiding building anywhere near as many pylons.
    4
  7679. There are millions of snowflakes who believed their scaremongering and thought "the rules" were like garlic and crosses against vampires.
    4
  7680. This is why it would be utter madness to hold a general election and hand the keys to No.10 to Starmer, who is not very bright and utterly self-serving. This wouldn't be from the frying pan into the fire, it would be into a blast furnace!
    4
  7681. The results of this "election" were already decided by the Kremlin months ago.
    4
  7682. I'm still waiting for a Tory MP with courage and integrity to throw their hat into the ring. I'd like to see Desmond Swayne, who took a stand against the crazy covid-19 restrictions that have unnecessarily wrecked our economy, make a bid for the top job.
    4
  7683.  @dwp709  It's certainly not uncommon for this to be the case.
    4
  7684.  @floydnotpink  Maybe I should have said resorting to a first strike. Of course nuclear weapons should be used against Russia if the the country is insanely criminal enough to use them first. This is what I meant. Russians must be totally convinced that if they use nuclear weapons on others then nuclear weapons will be used on them. If they are not convinced of this then they WILL use nuclear weapons.
    4
  7685. These jets are great, but they do need well-trained, and well practiced, pilots in order to get the best out of them. The cockpit setup is completely different from the MiGs that most Ukrainian pilots are used to. Let's hope a few have now spent long enough in them to be able to go out and inflict some serious punishment on the Orcs.

  7689. Probably true. When I lived in Berlin I used to privately tutor a Russian girl of someone much further down the food chain, but she always turned up with her bodyguard, who stayed the entire session: actually, he was also quite a bright young man.
    4
  7690. The thing is that these munitions have been in the country for almost a week now and should already be in use.
    4
  7691. Bang on. If we didn't have a bunch of retarded cowards in Downing Street then the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration would have been followed, with the following consequences: 1. Fewer deaths and hospitalisations. 2. Very few jobs and businesses destroyed. 3. Young people's education not buggered to hell. 4. No massive increase in mental health issues. 5. We would now be enjoying herd immunity, without the need for vaccines.
    4
  7692. If Putin is around for much longer then I'm sure the age will be raised again. No Russia should be denied the honour of dying for Putin because of their age.
    4
  7693. How about Britain excepts them back from Ireland AS LONG AS France accepts back all those who have made an illegal channel crossing?
    4
  7694. Let's be very clear about this. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol. Why should the government sour relations with the EU, just when we need strong unity against Putin, in order to satisfy a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic?
    4
  7695. Yes!

  7696. As an independent country Ukraine can invite in the troops of any other nation it wishes to have there. This is totally in accordance with international law, unlike Russia's presence. Other NATO members need to do the same as France. Putin can rant all he likes, but he is in no position to expand the war outside Ukraine. He knows this might well be the trigger for discontent regions to secede from his Russian Federation, which is one of his greatest fears.
    4
  7697. Surrendering to Putin's troops has similar consequences to surrendering to Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones!
    4
  7698. No to cowards and Putin appeasers!
    4
  7699. Sweden is a FREE and SECULAR country. People have a right to burn any book they like, be it Bible, Torah or Koran. Those who can't accept this shouldn't be living in democratic secular countries!
    4
  7700. It's laughable when people talk about Putin's retaliation. As if he has been holding back over the last two years.
    4
  7701. It is now well established that recovery from covid-19 does not have to be recent. In fact there is a good chance that natural immunity may last a lifetime! As memory B and T cells can now be tested for, EVERYBODY who has recovered from covid-19 should be entitled to such a certificate. There is no scientific basis for an exclusion.
    4
  7702. Nigel, you seem to be one of the few to have grasped what may well be a genuine Russian concern. Russia is mainly one large flat plane, which makes it easy for armies to roll across it. Napoleon did so and so did Hitler. Only a turn in the weather, both times, saved Russia. One can't help wondering whether it might not have been in everyone's interest if NATO had left all the former Iron Curtain countries alone.
    4
  7703. Exactly. When you don't know much science, and have poor understanding, you make up all kinds of nonsense to explain things. Religion, of any persuasion, belongs to our distant ancestors, who lived in caves.
    4
  7704. Darren, I too felt a cold shudder down my back about what happened to Paul Busseti. A crucial aspect of a REAL democracy is that people are allowed to say things that the majority may find deeply offensive. The freedom to express the same opinion as most others is no freedom at all!
    4
  7705. Yep, a pretty little star, and a nice "shower". The final solution to the unvaccinated problem.
    4
  7706. This is a fee paying school, and is therefore answerable to the parents. They should sack the headteacher and other teachers who supported this.
    4
  7707. ​ @DavidJones-ww9yb  Let me put it this way. On my coffee table are the following books that I'm currently reading: "Abstract Algebra", "Galois Theory", "Differential Geometry" and "General Relativity". I could also add "Der Letzte Wunsch", and "Le Seigneur des Anneaux", but the German and French is much lighter reading.
    4
  7708. What really p*sses me off is that lame employers accept strikes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but pay wages for Tuesday and Thursday, which will be very severely disrupted. These strikers should be told they won't be paid for FIVE DAYS!
    4
  7709. ​ @JamesLWilliams-k9x  What's this got to do with charging customers a tiny bit more to cover their ULEZ costs? Nothing!
    4
  7710. It didn't work for the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. In fact they have already lost several times as many Orcs in Ukraine.
    4
  7711. But she was white!
    4
  7712. So much for the much vaunted cost of living crisis. Plenty of people have enough money to spend thousands on foreign holidays. Our roads are jam packed with people who really don't need to drive. And the coffee shops, fast food joints, and pubs are still doing a roaring trade. No wonder inflation is going through the roof. I hope the Bank of England has the guts and good sense to put another 0.5% on interest rates, otherwise inflation WILL rise again.
    4
  7713. More likely some random Ukrainian who was unlucky enough to have his name pulled out of a hat.

  7714. @Shilaylee No! Work shy snowflakes like you need to go into work and EARN their pay! You would soon change your tune if you weren't paid for being a skiver.

  7716.  @clivemortimore8203  The word will soon spread.
    4
  7717. This is exactly the comment that I and so many others have made, that YouTube keeps deleting or hiding.
    4
  7718. Indeed it is: very much alive!
    4
  7719. If this helps clear the filthy Orcs out of their trenches then the sooner the better.
    4
  7720. For the cost of this enquiry, that has fattened the wallets of so many lawyers, each Grenfell victim could have been given well over a million pounds!
    4
  7721. Since when did wanting to live in a safe country, where people have to respect its laws, customs and values, make you far-right?
    4
  7722. Imagine how much WORSE things will get if Iran is allowed to develop nukes.
    4
  7723. MOST of these students should be out at work instead of doing one of the vast number of Noddy degrees that keep so many totally useless lectures in "jobs" that do nobody any good. Then we could afford to look after the bona fide students.
    4
  7724. "appears to be excellent results in the last two years" That's because the grades awarded were totally undeserved. Now lots of spoilt brats are whining because they were expected to work to earn their grades.
    4
  7725. To paraphrase the advertising to an old film: "You'll believe an Orc can dance" Some accompanying music like "here we go round the mulberry bush" or the Jaws theme would have added to the entertainment.
    4
  7726. The first caller sounded to me like a very entitled young person who really hasn't thought things out.
    4
  7727. I want to see that pain come to those who are claiming they are too sick to work when in reality they just don't want to. There are 9.4 million people of working age who are not working. That's 25% of the working age population. Such a high percentage isn't remotely credible. There's got to be at least 3 million fraudulently claiming benefits. Stopping this will save billions of pounds!
    4
  7728. Also remember that a positive PCR test does not mean you have covid-19. In naturally immune or vaccinated people it can mean that a few viral particles, which will be destroyed by the immune system in a few hours, have been detected, or that fragments of the virus, that has already been destroyed, have been detected.
    4
  7729. Being old enough to have had my smallpox vaccine I wouldn't be concerned even if we were seeing tens of thousands of cases. Unlike the covid-19 vaccines, that was one worth having.
    4
  7730. So true. We now have a cowards' and skivers' paradise.
    4
  7731. Let's be in absolutely no doubt about this. The resurgence of the terror threat in Northern Ireland is completely down to the bigoted DUP. With a slap in the face for democracy, they have buggered up democratically elected government for over a year. I'm surprised that the police are being targeted rather than the members of this vile and evil party.
    4
  7732. The best way to repair Australia's very badly damaged reputation would be to have Nuremberg style trials and hand out lengthy prison sentences to people like Dan Andrews.
    4
  7733. Probably at the same lockdown parties.
    4
  7734. If people in the UK weren't so bloody dense they would have done a little research and not believed all the lying propaganda. They would have found out that once you have recovered from covid-19 you almost certainly won't get it again, and don't need vaccination. They would have found out that if you have had covid-19, or two jabs, then you could very likely dance naked up and down a full covid ward without catching it.
    4
  7735. Better still burn them to the ground, preferably with the CEO inside.
    4
  7736. Lockdowns and restrictions have also lead to the dominance of the Delta variant. They put evolutionary pressure on this virus that strongly favoured more contagious variants. So, governments have actually made things a lot worse. Funny that.
    4
  7737. More likely they and their kids were threatened, rather than hired.
    4
  7738. If we had a referendum I wonder how many people, like myself, would vote to bring back the death penalty for the rabid animals that commit crimes like this?
    4
  7739. I wasn't worried in the least by covid-19 and am even less worried about Monkeypox. Neither of these is a big deal.
    4
  7740. As others have pointed out to you, it is pointless hardships we object to. Like having countless businesses, jobs and futures destroyed for the sake of a fraction of a percent of the population. And most of this fraction have already lived a good long life, are already very sick, and will die soon anyway. These are the people that should be making sacrifices, by making sure they isolate themselves properly! Sweden got it right!
    4
  7741. These days Human Rights is often a euphemism for the Rights of Criminals.
    4
  7742. Nobody is condoning these riots, but this is yet another example of Herr Macron showing his very strong disposition towards acting as a dictator.
    4
  7743. Zelenskiy said exactly what everyone with any intelligence is saying. Ukraine doesn't have the weapons to waste on missions with such an incredibly low probability of success. It's much more likely to have been an inside job, using non military drones available to the public. This would also explain how they could have been brought down without shooting: or simply gone out of the SHORT range of whoever launched them.
    4
  7744. With Putin's support, for letting him have Ukraine, and maybe a slice of Greenland too, he most certainly will take Greenland by force, if the American people and their military allow him to.
    4
  7745. To be honest, nobody, or the country, will miss Raab.

  7746. But YouTube is removing comments in support of them!
    4
  7747.  @dannythomson5239  Can you show reliable proof that you are not a Putin fanboy?
    4
  7748. Christmas has come early to Moscow this year. A pantomime in Red Square. Putin: East Ukraine is now part of Russia. Rest of World: Oh no it isn't. Putin: Oh yes it is.
    4
  7749. The trouble is that for those who have taken mRNA vaccines this awakening might be like waking up in a tower block inferno after the fire has knocked out the lifts and gutted the staircase.
    4
  7750. Having to work until 64 is very reasonable. HOWEVER the way Herr Macron pushed through this legislation is totally unacceptable in a democracy. If the French constitution allows him to do things like this then it urgently needs to be amended.
    4
  7751. Putin can be absolutely relied on to do a retake on "peace in our time" if he is allowed to keep even one square centimeter of Ukrainian territory: which includes Crimea.
    4
  7752. Yep, lots more, and better, to come, well behind Russian lines. Orcs who want to live should consider going home or surrendering.
    4
  7753. For being evil Orcs!
    4
  7754. McGovern has deliberately avoided mentioning one explosive fact that both government and schools desperately don't want parents to know. For at least a couple of decades schools have assiduously avoided employing the most experienced teachers, massively favouring the least experienced ones. You see there are two things very undesirable about older teachers. Firstly they cost a lot more, and secondly, having been round the block a few times, they are much harder to "manage". One of the very best ways to improve schools would be to COMPLETELY remove all hiring and firing decisions from headteachers. This should be centralised within the DfE. It would save a bloody fortune in advertising while also making the application process a one of event and thus vastly less onerous.
    4
  7755. Am I the only one who feels that these refugees shouldn't have to rely on sponsorship to be admitted to the UK? Am I the only one who suspects that this scheme will cause serious delays for people who are desperate, and lead to all sorts of discrimination? No wonder Gove has been chosen to present it!
    4
  7756. With what's been going on for the last 12 months it's a centre against anti-Semitism that is needed far more!
    4
  7757. I've a horrible feeling that there might not have been any Orcs in this tank.
    4
  7758. The kindest thing to do to a rabid dog is put it down!
    4
  7759. It is absolutely NOT dangerous for about 99.9% of people. Even at the start most people who caught covid-19 experienced hardly anything. Now we have the Omicron variant which is at the very least 10 times milder. Once you have been infected you have rock solid PROPER immunity, that may well last you a lifetime. In the unlikely event that we ever do get a GENUINE bad-ass variant that natural immunity, unlike vaccination, will protect you against it. So having "catch Omicron" parties is actually really smart. If enough people get Omicron then the pandemic definitely ends!
    4
  7760. A few days ago on the news we saw the Irish immediately deporting illegals back from whence they came: to the UK. So why don't we do exactly the same and deport them back to France?
    4
  7761. Until we stop millions of people, who are perfectly capable of working, from claiming benefits we will never be able to afford to look after those who genuinely need help.
    4
  7762. Well Rich Boy Sunak has shown that he is a slippery weasel, and this has served Michael Gove very well for many years, so why not him.
    4
  7763. Am I the only one noticing that this percentage increase is very close to what pensioners should be getting if the chancellor wasn't cheating them, by reneging on the "triple lock". And let's not forget that those (struggling) on minimum wage receive about 2.5 times what an OAP is expected to survive on. Let's also not forget that OAPs are about to see their heating and food bills go through the roof!
    4
  7764. Must be a Russian word. The mating call of the lesser spotted Putin fanboy?
    4
  7765. Just protesting like bleating sheep is NOT an uprising. An uprising is when you actually man up and do some proper FIGHTING.
    4
  7766. One prototype does not a division make.
    4
  7767. FFS, we can't afford to constantly bail out companies. We need to let businesses do business, without restricting them or scaring people off. What's happening is completely unsustainable. Far better for most that the snowflakes have sleepless nights, or even that some very old and very fat people die.
    4
  7768. Yet to go with this news one of the not so SAGE idiots is saying that people shouldn't be allowed to go abroad on summer holidays. When is this irrational panic going to end? By the summer almost all UK adults will have been vaccinated. It won't matter in the least how many infections there are in the countries they visit, because it WILL NOT result in lots of UK hospitalisations. These evil and insane restrictions must end now!
    4
  7769. Challenging - unless you are a benefits bludger or illegal migrant this budget is going to well and truly screw you.
    4
  7770. I'm glad Georgia was mentioned. If the Georgian people have any sense they will take full advantage of Ukraine's offensive to remove Moscow's puppet government and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen. As for Crimea, Putin's beloved Kerch bridge needs to be properly destroyed and Crimea taken back.
    4
  7771. From THIS June would be more appropriate!
    4
  7772. Well he will have to pull out all the stops to be even worse than Nicola.
    4
  7773. New Zealand better watch out. For years Kiwis have crossed the ditch looking for a better life. If things keep going the way they are there's going to be a massive influx of people desperate to escape a country that's starting to look like one of those Iron Curtain dictatorships. To think that I considered living in Australia. Boy did I have a really lucky escape!
    4
  7774. There's also a chance of regions breaking away from the Russian Federation, but Trump is putting all this at risk.

  7775. For every murderer there are always lots of lawyers prepared to make excuses for them.

    4
  7777. Merry Christmas, Orcs. Enjoy the festive fireworks.
    4
  7778. The reality of life in todays UK is that Muslims can abuse anybody else as much as they like, but woe betide the person who makes even the tiniest criticism of Islam.
    4
  7779. For those mathematically challenged the increase in kids' mental health problems is a staggering 50%! And all because of UNNECCESARY lockdowns over a virus that has only killed (ONS) 17,500 people with no underlying health issues: almost all of whom were over 65.
    4
  7780. Without a shadow of a doubt, part of the reason for the riots is the very real fear that those values that so many of us grew up with are in danger of being overturned. Of course it's not immigration per se that threatens these values, but totally inappropriate immigration. My father was Polish and my mother Irish, but they embraced the values of their adoptive country and made sure that their children did too.

  7781. Says one of Putin's monkeys.

  7782. YouTube a supprimé ce commentaire en anglais : Désolé, mais je ne vois rien de correct à autoriser le viol et les abus sur des jeunes filles : certaines n'ont que 12 ans.
    4
  7783. I don't think much of Trump, but he was right on one thing. He always threated to bomb Moscow if Putin caused him any grief. Moscow has always been the key.
    4
  7784.  @petero9584  No, you are just one of those cowardly w@nkers who don't want to be told that Sweden got it right.
    4
  7785. Frankly, Trump's ceasefire proposals seem to overwhelmingly favour Putin, who no sane person would trust to abide by them. So maybe, for Ukraine, this is just as well.
    4
  7786. One of the biggest problems is that schools don't make kids aware of apprenticeships. I'm guessing most teachers don't want to look stupid by telling kids that the plumber earns a lot more and gets more enjoyment out of the work, and far less stress.
    4
  7787. Would we every have learned about Chris Kaba's criminality if Martyn Blake hadn't been acquitted?
    4
  7788. Who his father is is probably open to debate.🤣
    4
  7789. Agreed, but YouTube doesn't think so, and is removing most comments expressing this sentiment.
    4
  7790. For the majority of the less mathematically gifted this needs to be converted into the rate of committing these crimes per 1000 the population of Brits versus Foreign Nationals. This will produce the truly horrifying figures that most people can understand.
    4
  7791. Correct. Journalists really should make more effort to get things right.
    4
  7792. Lawyers are getting rich on this, and have you ever met a lawyer who wasn't greedy and money grabbing.
    4
  7793. Tell that to those living in Moscow and all other major Russian cities!
    4
  7794. How can we be certain that Iranians weren't previously enriching anything?
    4
  7795. Absolutely correct.
    4
  7796.  @bbmm3811  From Sweden's position, below 50 in the deaths per million league table, it clearly didn't lead to too many deaths. The facts speak far better than the angst and hand wringing.
    4
  7797. What a complete contrast to the Russians, who don't even try to collect their own dead when they can.
    4
  7798. As long as Putin doesn't hit the sites of the rare earth minerals Trump will be OK with this.
    4
  7799. Very nice. The only sad bit is that there probably weren't any Orcs inside those tanks.
    4
  7800. With brave Royal Marines being jailed, and soldiers not allowed to pursue Taliban into Pakistan, and wipe out their bases there, any cretin could see that the Taliban would simply regroup and bide their time. Bleeding heart liberals, whose bravest deed is changing motorway lanes, tied our troops hands behind their backs. This is where the real blame, for the Taliban's resurgence, lies.
    4
  7801. I very strongly believe that all the vital services that we depend on should not be run for profit. What's charged for them should only be used to break even or improve the service. Nationalisation might be the only way to do this. BUT those in such jobs enjoy unparalleled job security, and in return they should lose their right to strike, and have to give at least 3 months notice to quit their job.
    4
  7802. I hope there were plenty of Orcs on those barbeques.
    4
  7803. As Canada is relatively close and appears to be a fairly decent democracy perhaps Greenland could strike some kind of deal with it, which would really stick it Trump.
    4
  7804. Did they all get paid the fee that extras in a movie usually collect for crowd scenes?
    4
  7805. In the UK the government conducted an all out propaganda campaign to scare the shit out of people, and it worked very well for a high percentage. Josef Goebbels would have been immensely proud and satisfied if it had been one of his campaigns. Yes, Sweden was one of the very few countries that got it right. And we now know that the IFR is no worse than a bad flu. But (at least in the UK) a high percentage of people are fully committed snowflakes, who won't believe that there is very little to worry about. If it was 1939 again I think todays Brits would have gift wrapped Poland for Hitler, and thrown in a few gas chambers for free.
    4
  7806. But we are top of the league by miles when it comes to two tier justice. We are also top of the league for not defending our borders.

  7807. I'm all in favour of anything that gets as many filthy noisy cars off the road as possible. We all have a right to enjoy air that isn't poisoned, and peace and quite in our streets!

  7808. This wouldn't happen if they had employed good professionals to produce the system in the first place, instead of the cheapest code monkeys they could find!

  7809. It's a very safe bet that these rockets were launched from some civilian enclave.
    4
  7810. More like a huge cover up.

  7811. Let's get this membership done ASAP. If Turkey tries to stop this then all decent people should give their tourist dollars or Greece instead!

  7816. Should definitely have gone to prison. Sentence should be appealed and made appropriate.
    4
  7817. Or Vladolf to his friends.
    4
  7818. It would be a travesty if Ukrainians had to give up the pursuit and killing of retreating Russians due to shortage of weapons, because any Russian soldier who isn't killed will be back. Russian soldiers who genuinely don't want to fight will surrender to Ukrainian forces.
    4
  7819. Perhaps the road it's on should be renamed Woke Street.
    4
  7820. Hell, there are lots of British pilots who would actually like to fly those jets themselves, and shoot the Orcs out of the Ukrainian skies.
    4
  7821. "We can't even escape to Russia" That's why Ukraine has had the humanity to set up a 24/7 hotline so that decent Russian soldiers, who aren't Orcs, can escape to Ukraine.
    4
  7822. Why? They are really funny in how pathetically transparent the lies are.
    4
  7823. ​ @Юлияюлия-с3т  Dude, publicly LMAO at the Russian MoD's pathetic attempts is hardly helping them.
    4
  7824. ​ @mikewa2  Educate yourself! It's easy to look up what the ratio of average house prices to average earnings used to be.
    4
  7825. Where did we hear a lot of things like "doing my duty" and "just following orders"? It didn't wash then, and it won't wash now! This self-serving weasel knows damn well that when you are told to do something wrong you have to man up and say No!
    4
  7826. All that wood that has now been de-Nazified. Another successful "special operation".🤣🤣🤣
    4
  7827. Sorry, I strongly support Ukraine, but I don't think they have made good use of their Storm Shadow missiles. Why is the Kerch bridge still intact? Why haven't Russian bases in Crimea, and near the Ukraine border been obliterated?
    4
  7828. Even if vaccines aren't as effective against the SA variant it's a very simple matter of probability. At the moment people are very unlikely to be exposed to this strain so it hardly comes into the equation. With over 12 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated we are starting to see a reduction in the number of bed blockers, and this will continue.
    4
  7829. Most doctors and nurses are hardworking. The problem is the parasitic management that live off the backs of their hard work, and make it even harder for them.

  7830. This is one of the few things that Starmer has got right. Churchill would have done the same.
    4
  7831. If so many people weren't innumerate nobody would be asking this question. The probability of three separate leaks occurring simultaneously is vanishingly small. Yes, it might me Russia sending a message to the EU. But it could also be someone sending a message to Russia about some of its other functioning pipelines, that are incredibly important to its revenue streams.
    4
  7832. Well, Moscow's biggest shopping mall has just been burnt down: a step in the right direction.
    4
  7833. Such a vile and disturbing offence merits a very long prison sentence to protect mothers and their babies. No "get out of jail" mental health excuses.
    4
  7834. What I'm grieving is the loss of almost all the other, genuinely important, news about what's going on. There are lots of very serious issues that have been totally ignored in the last few days.
    4
  7835. Many of those unvaccinated have NATURAL IMMUNITY which is vastly better than vaccination. They actually pose LESS of a risk!
    4
  7836. That's what most of us are expecting. The government funds the enquiry and decides what it will find out.
    4
  7837. When I look at the Grenfell enquiry, the Post Office enquiry, and the Covid enquiry, one thing is very clear. By far the biggest beneficiaries of them have been the very well remunerated lawyers. What's need is NOT an enquiry. Long overdue justice needs to be served on the perpetrators and those who turned a blind eye to their horrific crimes!
    4
  7838. So Sweden and Finland are now part of an organisation dedicated to defending people's freedom. That's great news. I'm sorely tempted to put one of my bottles of Champaign in the fridge.
    4
  7839. That's because DECENT people never tire of seeing Orcs eradicated.
    4
  7840. If only there was a way to force an immediate general election!
    4
  7841. The rest of the UK should be given a vote to kick Northern Ireland out of the Union. Then they can decide for themselves whether to go it alone, or see if the Republic will have them. Though a great many in the Republic don't want them either.
    4
  7842. Two points I'd like to make. Much as I think the insulation protests are OTT, before looking at banning gas boilers we really ought to look at better insulating homes. This really can make a big difference. As for tree planting there is truly vast scope for this country to get its finger out on this. There's an incredible amount of butt ugly moorland that could be reforested. Notice I say "re" because once upon at time all of this was covered in forest.
    4
  7843. Now, all Australian sheep repeat after me: "There is no such thing as natural immunity. Vaccination is completely safe and effective. Morrison and Andrews know what's best."

  7844. Conservative estimates say that Russia's armed forces have so far been weakened by 30% in 5 months. This suggests that if Ukraine and the West can keep up the momentum then by the end of the year Russian armed forces would be depleted by well over 50%, and by this time next year there won't be much left of Russian forces without Putin drafting ordinary Russians for his "special operation". As long as Ukraine and the West remain resolute Russians will eventually have to decide whether to see their armed forces VERY seriously undermined, or to get rid of Putin.

Also, why the panic over a variant that South African doctors say is EXTREMELY MILD?

  7850. Here' exactly what it means for the UK. Downing Street are watching very closely to see if tyrannous European governments can get away with further lockdowns and forced vaccination. If it appears that they can then the Downing Street Dictators WILL attempt to do the same. Most people really need to understand that covid-19 poses a miniscule risk to about 99%. They also need to learn the TRUTH about how much better NATURAL IMMUNITY is than vaccination, and how it may well last a lifetime.

  7851.  @happyapple4269  Because at the start letting natural herd immunity develop was what the REAL experts advised. If it happens now then governments have some very awkward questions to answer, about why they f*cked up the economy, and children's education and mental health.

  7853. What about the ONGOING death rate, due to autoimmune diseases, among all the schmucks who took a mRNA vaccine? Let's not forget that the overwhelming majority of people did not need a vaccine for two reasons: 1. Covid-19 was less hassle than a bad cold for the vast majority who contracted it. 2. After recovering from Covid-19, even if it was asymptomatic, natural immunity was vastly better and much longer lasting (maybe for life) than any immunity given by the vaccines.

  7911. Hard as it might seem to believe, a lot of teachers really are worked to the bone. And if they stay the course they find it very hard to change schools, because most begrudge paying classroom teachers near the top of the main scale. In fact, a fair number of old more experienced teachers are bullied into resigning, so that they can be replaced with cheaper ones. This is why there is such a chronic shortage of decent STEM teachers. Anyone worth their salt is very unlikely to want to teach in a UK state school, when they can get other jobs that are better paid, with far fewer hours, and much less stressful. But it doesn't have to be this way. In Canada, where teachers are well looked after, people fight over the very few vacancies in Canadian schools.

Just imagine the consequences. The lies about natural immunity will become evident to everybody, people won't need vaccination, and they will lose their fear of covid-19. For tyrants desperate to hold on to power this is their worst nightmare before Christmas. No wonder Downing Street is so keen on new restrictions.

The antibody level will drop, as it does after ALL infections, but this doesn't mean that you loose immunity. Memory B and T cells remain, and they very rapidly regenerate antibodies IF they are needed again. Research shows that natural immunity lasts as long as it has been possible to determine, due to the novelty of sars-cov-2, and many suspect that it could last a lifetime. I'd like to go a round with Boris and Javid on prime time TV, but it wouldn't be family viewing.

The vast majority of the public went along with lockdowns, that destroyed our economy and buggered young people's education and mental health to hell: for a virus with an IFR of just 0.3% or less, where we knew who were most at risk. The vast majority were happy to get vaccinated with vaccines that hadn't undergone proper phase 3 safety trials, despite the very low IFR and excellent subsequent natural immunity. That's pretty damn stupid in my opinion.

  8002. And they have promised to repeat the same kind of atrocity time and time again. Antonio Guterres deliberately chooses to ignore this clearly documented fact.
    3
  8003. When someone has been shown to have done wrong I'm all for crucifying them. However I was brought up with that quaint legal concept of "innocent until proven guilty". It seems that outside of the law courts we are now applying precisely the opposite dictum.

  8004. Maybe if a few more of Moscow's shopping malls had gone up in flames this attack might have been discouraged.

  8005. Actually, many Russians who don't support Putin are supplying intelligence!

  8006. If Putin goes to Brazil and gets there and back without being taken out then it will be the mother of all squandered opportunities.
    3
  8007. If there was enough will to do so then there has now been enough time since those cluster munitions were promised to get them to the front line!

  8008. But it takes a lot longer (a year or two) to train you to be a really effective soldier, and get your fitness to where it needs to be. So maybe it's time to bring back National Service as a matter of the utmost urgency.

  8009. Oh, another Putin rent boy.
    3
  8010. Maybe in the Cold War years the BBC had integrity, and could be trusted, but it's not been that way for a long time. More recently, one only has to look at the truly vast amount of pandemic related news that the BBC censored or covered up, in order not to displease its Downing Street paymasters. It's ironic that most of us only learnt what was going on from Russian funded Ruptly. We need a referendum on TV licenses, because it's fairly certain that most of us are very unhappy about being forced to fund this organisation. If it's that bloody good it will be able to attract sponsorship and advertising, like all the other channels.

  8011. You've got to admit TTK has gall. Most snake oil salesmen only try to con a few people at a time, but TTK is trying to con the entire country.
    3
  8012. If Putin needs a ceasefire then Ukraine and the West would be barking mad to give him one!
    3
  8013. I'm no fan of Labour and TTK. However, we need to remember that for the many years that the Tories were in power they did nothing to bring the perpetrators, and those who turned a blind eye, to justice. We don't need an enquiry, that will just fatten lawyers' wallets, we need to see long overdue justice finally, and very promptly served.
    3
  8014. Yes, with Austria about to lockdown its unvaccinated, it really is important we remember the lessons of history!
    3
  8015. I never cease to be amused by how most people, who aren't very bright, like to think that they are highly intelligent.
    3
  8016. Like all those poor people on 7th October, these hostages were cold-bloodedly murdered by Hamas, not killed in an IDF strike. You have to be intensely stupid to believe anything Hamas says.
    3
  8017. Maybe someone read my posts on how to derail trains, easily and stealthily, without blowing up the tracks or putting something bloody obvious across them. Of course, I was hoping my advice would be applied to Kim Jong Un's train on his visit to Putin.
    3
  8018. Make sure Ukraine has adequate weapons to prevent the setup of defences on the Eastern side. Then Father Winter will lend a big helping hand by freezing the Orcs.
    3
  8019. FFS, 10 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. So even if we see infections shoot up this is very unlikely to be reflected in hospitalisations and deaths. It no longer matters how many younger people, who are not at risk get infected. If only this virus selectively killed snowflakes. It's way passed time to stop all the cowardly panicking!
    3
  8020. "Prove they are not infected", rather than just vaccinated is very sensible. But an even better way to get ahead of the game would be to accept tests that prove immunity, which after all is what the game is all about. Those recently recovered from covid-19 will still have antibodies, that can easily be tested for. But there are now tests that can detect things like memory T-cells, which are still there after antibodies are no longer detectable. The important thing everybody needs to remember is that research at several very reputable institutions has clearly demonstrated that natural immunity lasts for as long as it has been possible to determine, and may indeed last a lifetime, if the immunity in those who had sars-cov-1 nearly 20 years ago is anything to go by.

  8022. As others have pointed out Musk is in a very long queue. Finding people who like TTK is much more difficult!
    3
  8023. We need a bit more unity from the African and Indian continents, who should also bad Russia from their airspace, which would then make it hard for most Russian aircraft to operate at all. Closing ports to Russian registered ships would also be a very smart move.
    3
  8024. I don't know what I find harder to get my head around. Just how thick and incompetent this government is, or just how thick people were to vote for them.
    3
  8025. At last some of the millions of stupid people in this country are starting to come to their senses.
    3
  8026. "Inquiry" also not interested in asking whether lockdowns were necessary, or whether most people should have been vaccinated!
    3
  8027. Sunak is incompetent in so many ways that you would probably need to write on a whole toilet roll to list them all.

  8028. Better than little Putin trying to be a great tsar.

  8029.  @ThesocialmuteHD  Are you sure you don't mean strong right hand?
    3
  8030. What a w@nker Gaunt is. When there are BAD rules people have a moral obligation to make a stand against them! Australia are not simply protecting their borders. They are persecuting those who very sensibly are exercising their basic human right not to have UNNECESSARY medical treatment forced upon them. I wonder if Gaunt is aware of concentration camps like Howard Springs. I'm sure he thinks that with a name like that they are luxury spars.
    3
  8031. translation: "I'm going to screw the hell out of the poor" The PENSION THIEF has already proved how good he is at this by CHEATING desperately poor OAPs out of their triple lock. They got a pension rise of just 3.1%, which is way below what they are entitled to, and lower than the rise of virtually everyone else in the country. Anyone who wants Sunak is either a rich boy/girl like him, or a turkey voting for Christmas.

  8032. I used to be in the CCF, and my nephew helped run the Army Cadets for many years. From this I can assure you that a vastly better way to increase diversity would be to spend that money on supporting organisations like these.

  8034. I sincerely hope so.

  8035. Nicely done.
    3
  8036. The waning efficacy of vaccines means we really need to look at how good natural immunity is. I gather there have been at least 3 prominent studies into this. Israel and Cleveland performed very large and well regarded studies that suggest natural immunity is better than vaccination. Both these studies have been totally disregarded by governments. Kentucky performed a much smaller study, which is not well regarded, and was heavily criticised, but as it favours vaccines over natural immunity governments warmly embraced it. It really does seem that the longer this goes on, and the more we learn, the clearer it becomes that the strategy advised in the Great Barrington Declaration is the right one. Sooner or later corrupt governments are going to be forced to accept this, it's just a question of how much more damage they will do first. You can deny and try to hide the facts as much as you like, but this never gets rid of them, and eventually you have to confront them.

  8043. If Putin is allowed any sort of victory in Ukraine it will soon be invasion rather than disruption!
    3
  8044. As an(y) honest person who has worked in the civil service will tell you, most civil servants aren't the sharpest pencils in the box, and most have about as much work ethic as a heavily tranquilised sloth. So this is hardly surprising, and there are probably similar incidents that have been well buried.
    3
  8045. Could be worse. Putin could have threatened to send Boris one of his soiled nappies.
    3
  8046. The BBC might be surprised at how many are applauding the US for its veto.
    3
  8047. When 5 to 10 Orcs were being killed for every Ukrainian soldier fighting in Bakhmut served a purpose. However we were told that other than this it had only symbolic, rather than strategic, significance. So might those troops be far better deployed elsewhere? When your enemy has superior numbers it's incredibly important to choose the game you play, rather than play the one he wants you to!
    3
  8048.  @bilkun  That makes sense.
    3
  8049. Australia is now the laughing stock of most of the world, with its despotic Nazi government, Gestapo police force, and panic over hardly any infections of a disease that kills well under 1%. It's a bit like watching a cross between "Allo, Allo" and "Fawlty Towers".

  8053. Also the CDC has just released a paper confirming that natural immunity rocks!

  8054. To be honest, I'm not upset at Reeves' budget, and was expecting something really bad. I don't think many genuine working people are going to cry about her taking money from companies. My only concern, the same as before the budget, is the colossal sums being squandered on benefit fraudsters, vastly excessive NHS managerial and admin staff, and illegal migrants.
    3
  8055. Was anyone ever in the slightest doubt that Putin is a coward of the deepest shade of yellow?
    3
  8056. No, people who want to help a democratic country defend its freedom.

  8057. Just one more in a list of thousands of vile war crimes committed against defenceless civilians. This abhorrent behaviour must never be rewarded with even the smallest victory.

  8059. NO! Despite the fancy name given to this variant, I'm not going to worry. There isn't a single shred of scientific evidence that it is any more infectious or any more deadly. The government is just trying to manufacture an excuse to bugger up people's Christmas again.
    3
  8060. This isn't an inquiry. It's sole purpose is to validate and exonerate those who destroyed the economy of this country, wrecked its NHS while pretending to protect it, and buggered the hell out of young people's education and mental health. Why do you think NO INDEPENDENT experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta have been called?

  8062.  @baddaddy3954  You do have a good point. But to be honest, I think we may need to see a few of these bent politicians buying the farm for things to change.
    3
  8063. All of us are horrified at the suffering in Gaza: particularly for the children. But how does Guterres envisage getting rid of Hamas? They are totally committed to the annihilation of Israel. The best assessment of Guterres is that he displays an almost unbelievable level of naivety. The only other possible conclusion is that he is supportive of Hamas.
    3
  8064. That's because he is frightened and desperate.

  8065.  @MussaKZN  Too true. I hear a knock on the door in the middle of the night isn't that uncommon on Australia these days.

  8068. Well, better late than never.

  8069. Which is why Ukraine needs to do a few 9/11s in Moscow. They may not have long range rockets, but think of what the IRA did to the NATWest Tower with relatively simple technology.
    3
  8070. Trump still needs to kick Putin's arse, but for what he has done to Iran he deserves a standing ovation.
    3
  8071. It's reminiscent of the American and British allies liberating Nazi occupied Europe, except that the Nazis didn't treat civilians anywhere near as badly as the Russian Orcs have.
    3
  8072. Yep, if you can't take on the enemy's soldiers then murder their civilians: it's the Russian way.
    3
  8073. This is a direct result of no significant damage being done in Russia throughout this war. It would never have happened if Russia had the expectation of one of its dams getting the same treatment.
    3
  8074. For heaven's sake! Many months ago people like me were saying that if the Houthis were sufficiently weakened then their civil war opponents would take care of them once and for all.

  8079. I know exactly how you feel Daniel. Quite a few years ago I stopped all Kindle sales of my books because of people ordering them and then "returning" them within 7 days, after they had had ample time to read and/or copy everything they needed from them. I much preferred to lose the sales to honest people than allow dishonest people to profit. Sadly dishonesty is now often seen as being clever. Just take a look at all the food manufacturers who decrease the quantities in their packets rather than increasing the price. The quantity or weight might well be on the packet, but they know that most people don't keep tabs on this.

  8082. Like so many, I welcomed Biden's victory over Trump. But it didn't take long to become apparent that this is a president no longer in full control of his faculties. For the sake of America and the whole world those who are keeping him in office need to do what they should have done a long time ago: replace him.
    3
  8083. Has anyone, throughout this debacle thought to ask the people in those Russian speaking regions of the Ukraine what they want. In the UK Scotland got to say whether it wanted to remain part of the UK, and I'm sure both Wales and Northern Ireland would be given a similar choice should they want it. Gibraltar, despite being tiny, isn't part of Spain because the people there don't want this. And Spain's treatment of the Catalonia region's desire for independence is generally condemned. So my question is are we going to edge ever closer to WW III when those in the Russian speaking regions of the Ukraine (and maybe also the Moldavian one) might very much want to be part of Russia? I deplore what Putin has done, but are we possibly fighting against doing the democratically right thing for these Russian speakers?
    3
  8084. The only good thing about lockdown was how it got most of the cars off the road. It was wonderful to enjoy the quiet and the clean air. MOST people don't need to drive, and anything that makes it harder and more expensive for them to do so has my full blessing.
    3
  8085. Putin's fan girl won't be so calm when the nukes are falling on Moscow and all other major Russian cities. I wonder if she has got any children that she would like to see grow up, or elderly parents who would like to enjoy a well earned retirement. It's hard to believe that hundreds of millions of Russians are prepared to die just for Putin's pathetic ego.
    3
  8086. Trouble is that getting rid of a corrupt cabinet minister is like cutting off a Hydra's head (classical allusion for Boris). Another one replaces it immediately.
    3
  8087. Chris, as we all know by now, governments do everything in their power to suppress any good news about natural immunity. Just look at how they ignored the large and highly regarded Israeli and Cleveland studies, in favour of the small and heavily criticised Kentucky study.
    3
  8088. YouTube has removed most posts making similar suggestions!

  8091. Looking at the average wage in the UK, £15 is perhaps a bit high, but we should definitely be aiming at somewhere between £10 and £12. Now, when it comes to employers claiming they won't be able to pay, I always think of Massa, on his sugar or cotton plantation, crying into his champagne about how he won't survive if slavery is abolished.

  8100. In this day and age, what kind of mentally challenged idiot believes in any religion, for which there isn't a shred of evidence? There's no difference between burning a Harry Potter book, the Bible, or the Koran. Except that far more people would get a lot more satisfaction reading the Harry Potter book.

  8101. I see the YouTube Nazis removed my comment, and the Facebook Nazis didn't like me sharing this video. Sorry Nazis, but removing suggestions that injecting people with mRNA vaccines might be unsafe doesn't make it safe.
    3
  8102. Amazing isn't it. These countries, and others have had stricter lockdowns, and far better adherence to them. THEY DIDN'T WORK!!! Anyone with half a brain knows that if something doesn't work then you try something different. But not these politicians. They are only too happy to repeat the mistake, and will no doubt continue repeating it. So what else might they try. Oh, that's a hard one. No, wait, isn't Sweden getting along just fine? Blaming lockdown failures on the people is a bit like alchemists trying to create the Philosopher's Stone, or turn lead into gold. Instead of accepting that it wasn't possible most of them put their failures down to not having followed the procedure properly. But at least they blamed themselves.

  8106. Over 40 years ago when I worked for the Home Office in the Police National Computer Unit I ran them out of training programs. To improve my through put I used to punch the cards myself, even using a hand machine at times. I was told off for this, and so slacked off a lot. A few months later I was told that they had noticed a vast improvement since my telling off!

  8108. I'm really laughing now. This is EXACTLY what people like me were concerned about in regard to these poorly tested mRNA vaccines: that the mRNA could be unintentionally incorporated into any cell in the body. What autoimmune diseases might this lead to in years to come?

  8109. If, for years before 7th October the UN hadn't given many millions of dollars to Hamas, then perhaps none of this would be happening in the first place!

  8110. What I love is how expensive many veggie products are compared to less healthy meat. The government should look at this profiteering. These products are a lot cheaper to manufacture, and if their price reflected this then maybe far more people would eat more healthily. We also need to look at portion sizes. A really good example of this are several pizza brands where sizes on third or one half less would be much better for single people.
    3
  8111. This just goes to show how low Russia is running on missiles, and how desperate Putin is.

  8112. Very nice, but that's only one half. Come on Ukraine. Use some of those Storm Shadows to do the same to the other half. Make Putin's beloved Kerch bridge totally unusable.

  8120. This pathetic woman was looking for offence where none was intended. Why didn't she simply say something like "my mother came from Gambia"? I too am born in the UK, but I'm quite happy, and proud, to tell people that my father was Polish and my mother Irish. Lady Hussey should never have lost her job and should be reinstated immediately.
    3
  8121. Let's tell it as it is. Senile old Biden is mightily pissed at DeSantis not letting him go all Dr. Mengele on Florida's population with his vaccine mandate, so this is his attempt at payback.

  8122. True, but unfortunately for the UK it won't be any better with Starmer.

  8125. The government don't care! Regardless of risk they want to vaccinate everybody. Give it a little longer and instead of slapping the baby's bottom the midwife will be making it cry with a covid-19 jab.
    3
  8126. How about Russia pulling back for talks: like into its own country?
    3
  8127. If it is special forces, operating behind enemy lines, then Russians need to be really worried about just how far behind enemy lines they might carry out an operation. After what has been done to Ukrainian cities and civilians, a massive bomb in a Moscow subway or shopping centre would be very fair payback.
    3
  8128. More likely it was just some poor schmuck who didn't support Iran's mad mullahs.
    3
  8129. How can anyone talk about escalation after what's already been done to Ukraine. Does anyone seriously believe Russia has been holding back? But, if escalation means giving the Russians a damn good taste of their own medicine, then the more the better.

  8130.  @monky_dust  He doesn't have a brain, or a spine.

  8131. We are now at or very close to herd immunity. This means that covid-19 no longer poses a threat to the UK. So there is no need for any restrictions, and also no need for a vaccine passports. Does this mean that absolutely no one will die or be hospitalised? No, but the numbers will be too small to make a fuss over. More people will now end up dead or hospitalised because of traffic accidents, but this doesn't mean we are going to ban motoring.
    3
  8132. When you are dealing with a deranged and desperate psychopath why would you expect his threats to add up? Just look at his face as he announced the mobilisation. It is the face of an abject failure, who has seen the writing on the wall and knows his time is nearly up.
    3
  8133. As another poster mentioned, Russia claimed to be in full control yesterday. Rather like Putin being in full control of his bowl movements.🤣
    3
  8134. Not just heartless, but showing profound ignorance of how immunity works. There was practically zero chance of anything bad happening if this poor man and his father had been allowed to see each out one last time. I'm only 5' 3", but if it had been my father I'd have probably tried to fight my way in. But people need to remember that, in most countries, these awful things are happening because they roll over and accept them. The price of giving into to tyranny is that it gets worse.

  8135. With a few very rare exceptions, any pledge made by a politician is a promise waiting to be broken.

  8136. To quote a long dead English King: "Will someone rid us of this meddlesome cleric?"
    3
  8137. While I don't like to see civilians on any side hurt, maybe something like the IRA's most successful bombings in London, carried out in Moscow, would bring Putin's supporters to their senses.
    3
  8138. Confirmation, if any were needed, that you really don't have to be particularly bright to be an actor.

  8139. One of Putin's greatest fears, which he himself stated, is that regions who really want out of the Russian Federation will take advantage of his current weakness and strike a blow for independence.

  8140. If Boris hadn't lost his bottle and resisted lockdowns, as Maggie would definitely have done, he would now be a hero PM, with the Tories riding high. And he had the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, to strongly back up such a decision. Now he's just the ex-PM who flushed the chain on this country. Of course he couldn't have done it without Starmer's unstinting support!

  8141. Sows' ears and silk purses come to mind. Do we have applicants of suitable quality to fill those medical school places? Not having enough doctors is bad, but having "doctors" who aren't up to the job would be vastly worse!

  8142. Yep, despite mainstream media not reporting on the Canadian truckers the word is out. Canada's cowardly tyrant ran away like a frightened little boy hiding for the bigger kids, who want to hold his head down the toilet. Now tyrants all round the world are wetting themselves. Go truckers! Those who love freedom love you too.

  8143. And jailed for what is a CRIMINAL offence.

  8144. I'm not a fan of Boris, but if I was in his position I would do the same. He is seriously rich, so why put up with hassle when he doesn't need to, and when resigning will stick it to those who pushed him out of No.10. Of course, if he had had the balls to "let the bodies pile high in the street" he would still be prime minister, and maybe even lauded. Looking at the likes of Sweden, it's very clear that the bodies would not have piled up in the street, and several recent very reputable studies have concluded that lockdowns were completely useless: unless you count wrecking the country and the Tories as useful.

  8145. It's pretty sick isn't it? We have a selfish and cowardly society that instead of cherishing our children, and being really grateful that covid-19 poses a negligible risk to them, makes them feel guilty for the deaths of people 10 times their age.

  8150. They certainly do target the most vulnerable. Look at all those TV bingo adverts, and the like. They are truly cringe worthy and can only appeal to the most mentally deficient.

  8153. Come on Zelenskyy, there are plenty of Ukrainian special ops that could easily pass as Russian. It's way past time that some were sent to Moscow to take out its infrastructure. The IRA did some truly spectacular damage, so surely your special ops could do the same.

  8160. When I think of the office banter that we engaged in around 30 years ago I'm glad I'm now retired. I remember one impromptu competition to recall all the euphemisms for those of a certain orientation.

  8163. The rulers of Iran really are mad rabid animals. What decent human being would treat a woman and her family in such an appalling manner? Trump may not be my hero, but you can't help wondering if he was right to withdraw from the nuclear deal. Would any sane person trust Iran's rulers to uphold their end of any bargain? It's as realistic as Chamberlain's expectations when he came back from Munich.
    3
  8164. Well, it would have been even worse under Labour, without whose unflinching support lockdown couldn't have been implemented. So best vote Reform UK.

  8165. The attitude of Bleeding Heart Liberals towards Iran reminds one of Chamberlain's "peace in our time" deal with Adolf Hitler. All it did was give Nazi Germany the time needed to gather its forces.

  8179. You know Julie, a lot of people need calming down. The BBC seems to be going all out to help the government scare people. It's very fast at reporting bad news, but seems to completely ignore the good stuff. Just today it gave prominence to an article about a reinfection in Hong Kong. This article totally ignored how much the scientists had downplayed their report and how cautious they were in what they said. Yet the BBC seem to be ignoring much stronger research that indicate the near certainty of long term immunity. For an organisation like the BBC to deliberately go out of their way to terrify people is truly despicable. However maybe the government, who are their paymasters expect them to do this. So much for independent and impartial news.

  8180. Yep, Orc cooked hangi style is now very popular in Ukraine.

  8181. Many regions REALLY want out of the Russian Federation, and as Putin's military gets weaken more and more by the war in Ukraine the temptation to make a bid for freedom will grow. Once one has the guts to take action others will probably follow suite.

  8186. Hitchens is spot on! This so-called inquiry should be asking two questions, above all others: 1. Were lockdowns necessary? 2. Should most people have been vaccinated? Notice how not a single INDEPENDENT expert has been called. Because the sole purpose of this complete and utter farce is to exonerate those who have inflicted incalculable damage on this country and its people.
    3
  8187. Most of this affects me very little, but others are hurting really badly, and it's pushing their mental health over the edge. So if this really happens I won't be at at surprised if a few people go postal and try to kill Blow Job and HandOnCock. And you know what. If this happens and succeeds I suspect that the majority will feel like pinning a medal on the perpetrator.

  8190. Correct. The world's most popular book proves beyond any doubt that Israel is the Jewish homeland, and has been for 1000s of years. Anyone else there is an interloper, but the Jews would be happy to live with them if they simply behaved decently.
    3
  8191. Again, to bring some sanity and perspective to this, Sars-cov-2 only poses a threat to a small fraction of 1%, who are overwhelmingly very old and very sick. Such people are going to die soon anyway. Therefore the sensible thing is to triage and not admit such people to hospital if it means excluding others who would benefit far more from medical treatment.
    3
  8192. If ever evidence was needed that exceptional intelligence isn't necessary to become very rich, then we only need to look at Donald Trump.

  8194. How can one have any respect for the law when such derisory sentences are handed out for taking another person's life in an unprovoked attack. The judge needs to be dismissed. I'd like to say what else he needs, but I'd get a ban for doing so.
    3
  8195. Between those who have been vaccinated, and those who now have immunity after recovering from (even asymptomatic) covid-19, it is now very likely that the UK has reached herd immunity. In fact, if we we didn't have a government that is cowardly, none too bright, and power hungry, it would be fine to lift all restrictions in the UK.

  8196. ​ @PaddyMc5th  I've seen exactly this happen outside Tesco in Enfield Town, but YouTube removed my earlier similar reply.

  8197. Putin has a shopping list of countries he wants to take. What part of his "historic Russia" speech do some people not understand? If he is allowed to win in Ukraine he will move on to other countries. This is a certainty, not speculation.

  8198. Ineffective measures designed purely to stoke fear, and then pander to the gullible, stupid snowflakes who are wetting their beds.

  8207. Just how thick is Starmer? If he had encouraged his party members to vote against this totally unnecessary Plan B then it would have been defeated and Boris would definitely have been very quickly ousted. But, here's the thing. Starmer is a self-serving coward! Despite Omicron being EXTREMELY MILD, Starmer was too frightened to take the really tiny risk of blocking Plan B.

  8211. Because of this utterly spineless move, wages will continue to spiral out of control, and inflation WILL increase again. Of course, it's the poorest that will pay the price, not the cowardly bankers.

  8213. I'd say to the police, because fraud is an imprisonable offence, but we all know that they would do nothing.
    3
  8214. Let's be very clear on one thing. Inflation is a malignant cancer that hurts the poorest most. If the budget reigns in wage rises and rises in property prices then that will be a very good outcome.
    3
  8215. Well, honest, decent people expect others to tell the truth, keep their promises, and abide by the rules that they themselves made. Funny that.
    3
  8216. This is because, despite all the empty words and gestures, Sunak knows that he is going to do bugger all!

  8217. Maybe we could persuade Putin to swap Eastern Ukraine for Northern Ireland.
    3
  8218. As always, this looks like Russia is very far from reporting the full extent of what happened. Drones are relatively small, so what's the probability that debris from it took out 3 people? And it would also have to have been shot down almost directly above the airbase for this to happen.
    3
  8219. Well I counted 7 pigs at the start and 3 at the end, so I guess that's 4 of them roasted. Pity there wasn't a sniper to pick off the other 3.

  8229. If the British public had given a damn about our doctors, nurses and ambulance staff then the NHS wouldn't be in its perilous state, and there would be no need for strikes.

  8238. Nigel let' be honest. It's not really a question of 12 to 15 year-olds overruling their parents. It's a question of cowardly, selfish teachers and school nurses being free to PRESSURE these kids into getting a vaccine that they don't need, and whose long term safety we cannot possibly guarantee. Also, be in no doubt whatsoever, once they are done with this age group they will go after the younger kids!

  8239. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person!

This neo-Vichy president needs to be removed, by whatever means necessary.

  8258. With so many now vaccinated there's not the need to pass laws so quickly that they can't be subject to proper parliamentary scrutiny. Any MP who supports an extension is showing utter contempt for democracy, parliament, and his/her constituents. If Boris was honest and had a shred of integrity he would definitely not be asking for this extension. But from past experience, where the supreme court had to overrule him, we know that he regards having to obtain parliamentary consent as an unnecessary inconvenience, to be circumvented by whatever means he can get away with.

  8260. I see that, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the government is still denying that natural immunity, in those who have recovered from covid-19, is very long lasting: possibly for life. I guess they want to make sure that those schmucks who get infected after these useless vaccines still keep getting their boosters. Otherwise the stock prices of big pharma will take a hit.

    3
  8264. I'd like to stick my oar in on children as virus spreaders, and on viral load. Because what most of us should be asking is whether we really give a monkey's about either. As Dr .Campbell's previous video so helpfully pointed out, it's now looking like the death rate for those contracting this virus is likely to be even lower than the 0.3% that he mentioned two or three videos ago. So do most of us really need to care how much kids spread it, or whether we get a slightly higher viral load? It seems to me that all the (genuinely) vulnerable, and the snowflakes, need to lock themselves in and let the rest of us get on with quickly spreading, getting and recovering from this virus, so that herd immunity is achieved before the winter flu season. Boris & Co are never going to adopt this policy because it would force them to admit that, by not following Sweden's example, they have made what is probably the biggest f**k up ever in British history. I hope no one is stupid enough to believe their comments about following the science. The scientists they listen to say what government want them to say, or get sacked. Remember the government scientist who said that if you didn't know someone it was safer to offer them an ecstasy pill than a peanut. This was scientifically correct, but the government didn't want to hear this science and so sacked him. Government scientists who want to keep their job only say what the government wants them to say!

  8271. What those holding the purse strings, and their fickle electorates, need to understand is that what we're paying now is a bargain basement price compared to what we will have to pay to contain Putin if we let him win in Ukraine. And as well as costing Western money it will then cost a lot of Wester lives!

  8274. The two overwhelming truths are: 1. Covid-19 posed a laughably small threat to over 99% of the population. 2. Those who recovered from covid-19, including the asymptomatic ones, gained natural immunity that was vastly better and longer lasting (possibly for life) than anything these poorly tested vaccines could give them. The advice given by the REAL experts right at the start, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, should have been followed. ONLY the most vulnerable should have been isolated, until natural herd immunity developed. Furthermore the vast majority of people should never have been vaccinated: especially young people.

  8282. "Be really cautious" Absolutely not! Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD. As such it offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY spreading herd immunity, and bringing this pandemic to an end. Rather than idiotic sheep queuing up for boosters we should be having "catch Omicron" parties.
    3
  8283. Call me old-fashioned, but I was brought up to honour my promises and keep my word. In fair degree this was the measure of a man's worth and character. So when I hear Boris say that steps out of lockdown will be IRREVOCABLE I expect that to be the case. Then again, one of his favourite lackeys assured us that there would never be vaccine passports, because "that's not how we do things in Britain". Silly, silly me. Fancy believing that things like truth and honesty would always be highly valued.

  8284. So spot on. And this advice, by the REAL experts, was given to governments right at the start!

  8308. Most no fault evictions are due to unacceptable behaviour by tenants. Fortunately the landlord has been saved the expense and trauma of a long drawn out court trial. My father was a very good landlord who charged rents much lower than he could have got. I'll never forget the many months of hell he went through to evict an evil woman, who was scum of the earth, and nothing but a burden on society. When she finally left the rooms she had occupied had been totally wrecked, with "Polish Pig" painted large in red on the wall.

    3
  8323. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news. This means that it will quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.
    3
  8324. Unless we are dealing with the military, or it is specifically written into ones contract, and one freely agreed to it, then withdrawing ones labour most certainly IS an unbridled right. While some strikes might be incredibly damaging, so is giving any government the power to unilaterally legislate away ones rights. Today's strikes might set a precedent, but we need to worry how that precedent might be used in the future. The senseless Covid panic showed how easy it is to have one's rights and freedoms stolen.
    3
  8325. Going by train gives plenty of time and countless locations at which to take Rocket Man out, which will no doubt be squandered. Yes, it's an armoured train, but there's no need to either blow it up or blow up the tracks. You simply clam pieces of iron or steel to the same side of each track, maybe super gluing them as well. You do the clamping from the underside of the track so that it's very hard to spot. The train WILL then derail to the other side. Derailment, especially at a suitable location is a good way of killing train passengers.

  8327. This is a non-fatal disease that is very mild for most who catch it. yet again the WHO have demonstrated their utter incompetence, and the need to defund them.
    3
  8328. We need to learn from Australia and New Zealand. I'd much rather see staff paid fairly and no tipping. It's definitely not about wanting to pay less, it's about wanting a level playing field for all, where the skin-flints who don't tip have to pay the same as those who tip generously, and employers can't swindle their staff. We need to outlaw tipping.

  8331. Quality of life is what matters, not life itself. Most of the time the person best qualified to decide on that quality is the person himself (or herself). If a person is either in severe pain, or has a disability that they don't want to accept, then what right has some superstitious religious fanatic to dictate that they must continue in abject misery, possibly for many years? I myself can think of many conditions that others are prepared to live with, but that I'd much rather be put out of my misery if I had.
    3
  8332. This would be fine. It would be a humiliating admission that his "special operation" was an abject failure and colossal miscalculation. Also, I doubt all those Russian mothers and fathers will relish the prospect of seeing their sons sent off to be slaughtered.

  8333. The likes of Shell did absolutely nothing to deserve the obscene rise in profits that they received. Profits founded on the pain and suffering of millions. So I'm happy to see some of those profits funneled to those who need the money, rather than parasitic shareholders.

    3
  8338. Yep. If the government isn't screwing you with unnecessary lockdowns and vaccinations, and the energy companies aren't screwing you, you can always rely on public transport to put the boot in.
    3
  8339. Well the police have been turning a blind eye to cyclists ridding on crowded pavements for decades, so why should it be any different for e-scooters.

    3
  8345. Didn't Trump issue another ultimatum 3 weeks ago? I wonder how many more weeks Putin will be given in two weeks time.
    3
  8346. So true. My comment used to be "I'll make an appointment to become sick". Often you get suddenly sick, and need a GP immediately. And having a receptionist with just a few poor GCSEs to their name decide who sees the GP is outrageous.
    3
  8347. So yet again it's time to talk about what governments hate to hear mentioned: NATURAL IMMUNITY. Two large and highly respected studies in Israel and Cleveland suggest that natural immunity is better than vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. Governments completely ignored these studies. In stark contrast they enthusiastically embraced a study from Kentucky that slightly favoured vaccines. But the thing is that the Kentucky study was very much smaller, far less reliable, and even the researches pointed out lots of its shortcomings. So, yet again, it seems that the advice, given very early on to governments, and later published in the Great Barrington Declaration, was the correct strategy. Namely, just isolate the most vulnerable, and let everyone else get on with their lives until NATURAL herd immunity develops. With the dwindling effectiveness of vaccine generated immunity it's looking more likely by the day that corrupt politicians will eventually be force to follow the advice in the GBD. The only question is how much more damage they will be allowed to do, in their cowardly effort to cover up their incompetence. Vaccines still have a role. They should just be administered to the most vulnerable, along with booster shots. Most of us don't need or want them, and the fact that they haven't undergone the usual minimum of 4 years SAFETY TRIALS does nothing to recommend them.
    3
  8348. I know Putin isn't very bright, but I do wonder if even he believes the complete rubbish he comes out with.
    3
  8349. Not on keeping old people warm, however.
    3
  8350. The face of evil, but he knows that he will never be held to account. The Covid enquiry in the UK is a total whitewash, with the questions that really matter never being asked. Exactly the same is happening in the US and other countries. No government is going to tell people that almost everything they did in regard to Covid was completely wrong.
    3
  8351. Russia's tourism is suffering far worse.
    3
  8352. Hopefully, Western intelligence about the Orcs being low on armaments, and desperately exhausted, will prove to be correct, and we can look forward to seeing them being slaughtered in their thousands, and their infestation of Ukraine driven back.
    3
  8353. I've been strongly advocating what you suggest for years, and I suspect it's what most people would like.

    3
  8364. It's vastly easier and more effective to damage a rail, by simply attaching a really robust clamp to it or welding something to it, maybe with some homemade thermite. You then get a derailment, which further damages the track.
    3
  8365. Oh, another born and bred English white dude.
    3
  8366. With the support of UK, the US and other countries (Germany are you listening) Ukraine can hold out indefinitely. But Russia, on its own, cannot. In fact, it's questionable whether those holding Putin's leash are willing to sustain the same losses in the next 3 months that they have already sustained in the first 3.
    3
  8367. If only it was just equally poor. A lot of the scum with their eyes on the PM's job are even worse!
    3
  8368. The news about these ultra safe mRNA vaccines just keeps getting better. Getting these jabs was probably the dumbest thing that most people have ever done in their entire lives!
    3
  8369. People like YOU never think things through, or are incapable of doing so. Not having money to spend on NHS and other infrastructure costs a lot of lives!
    3
  8370. A very wise move on Israel's part. Considering that Iran has openly stated its wish to annihilate Israel, allowing it to develop nuclear weapons would be like sitting back and watching a man sharpen the knife he was going to cut your throat with.
    3
  8371. It's truly pathetic, isn't it. But if memory serves me right this isn't the first example of such nonsense. I seem to recall expressions like "birthing people" and "lactating people". I wonder if any of these nut jobs are bible bashers and only pray to the Holy Ghost, because the other two in the Trinity are sexual stereotypes. Oops, I made a PC blunder, it's Holy Spirit these days.
    3
  8372. Not ludicrous, sick and evil!
    3
  8373. Exactly! And now they want those people to pay even more to cover the cost of those who expect to get their energy for free.
    3
  8374. Firms don't break the law, the individuals in them do. As well as closing these firms down the lawyers in them who falsified the asylum claims need to be struck off and jailed. Why isn't this happening?
    3
  8375. I've been optimistic about the very low threat posed to over 99%, and the excellent natural immunity, right from the start of all this Chicken Little nonsense.
    3
  8376. Sadly, a very good rule of thumb.
    3
  8377. When it comes to IPads and smartphones I'm reminded of that parable in the Bible which says: "what parent gives their child a stone when they ask for bread".
    3
  8378. Lots more on the way!
    3
  8379. I'm far more concerned at seeing those who introduced insanely damaging, but totally unnecessary, lockdowns crucified rather than punishing those who broke the completely ineffective rules. We will still get the same criminals, but also a few more.
    3
  8380. If you are stupid enough to go to somewhere like Iran or Russia then you shouldn't expect any help from the British government.
    3
  8381. We really do need the few honest politicians to get together and offer people this alternative. Currently, choosing between Conservative and Labour is like choosing between the torturer who is going to shove a red hot poker up your arse, and the one who is going to pop your joints on the rack.

  8386. Broadband is not a necessity. Buy rice in bulk, and cook it yourself, and it's very cheap.
    3
  8387. This is like asking if the Pope is a Catholic. While what's going on in Ukraine would have caused some difficulty, lockdowns had already weaken the economic camel's back almost to breaking point. The tragedy is that sars-cov-2 only ever posed a risk to well under 1% of the population, so lockdowns were completely unjustified. Sadly, those responsible for them will never face justice.
    3
  8388. Burn the so-called "morality police". A little petrol can really help.
    3
  8389. Ah, but if you have plenty of money, like Rich Boy Sunak and his family, you can immediately get whatever help and treatment you need.

    3
  8391. Yes, the suspension is wrong. He should be sacked!
    3
  8392. At 63 I'm not too worried about the consequences that climate change will have for me. However I am worried about the serious consequences it might have for young people. There are so many things that could really help. Top of the list would be people who don't need to not owning and driving cars. Not being fashion slaves, and making a lot fewer clothes last also help, as would not wasting food. I'm sure people could add to these.

  8395. We should be far more worried about kids sitting in front of a screen all day instead of going out to exercise, play, and interact IN PERSON with their friends.
    3
  8396. Some countries have stopped vaccinating those under 60, because they have determined that, for those below this age, the risk posed by the virus is less than that posed by the vaccine. But you know what the response of the scum in Downing Street has been to these concerns? They have orchestrated reports that GROSSLY EXAGERATE the covid risk to younger people, while at the same time UNDERSTATING the risk posed by the vaccine. And if these lies don't do the trick they are going to introduce vaccine passports to coerce people into being vaccinated.

  8397.  @fintonmainz7845  Have I upset one of Putin's fanboys?
    3
  8398. Up until Prigozhin spilled the beans, most Russians had no idea of how large their losses were. In fact many probably still don't know, and many will refuse to believe Prigozhin because they can't face the truth.

  8399. It's great to see Ukraine making good use of those Shadow Storm missiles. Now what about using some to take out the Kerch bridge, and destroy what's left of the Black Sea fleet at Sevastopol?

  8404. I hope it won't be some scumbag Australia politician who presents the winner with the cup.
    3
  8405. Natural immunity has now been irrefutably proven to be both extremely good and long lasting. If dumb-ass governments had, from the start, followed the advice of the REAL EXPERTS and just isolated the most vulnerable we would now be enjoying herd immunity. And once herd immunity is established there will not be 200 deaths a day. Also, typically there are over 600,000 deaths a year in the UK. That's around 1,650 a day. So 200 really isn't at all bad.

  8406. Oh, the old ploy of "the fighting has made it too dangerous to get you into the plant".

  8407. Never mind Labour, Starmer has shown himself to be completely self-serving and untrustworthy. Government lockdowns, while hardly touching Eton rich boys, has crucified the poorest in society. These are the people that Labour is meant to champion. Yet time and again, instead of opposing these insane lockdowns, we have seen Starmer giving them his wholehearted support. Many of us believe that Starmer was giving the government enough rope to hang itself with, so that he would get into No.10 next time. But it appears that people are aware of his machinations.

  8413. What did people like me tell you right from the start about the risks of using poorly tested mRNA vaccines? What did we tell you about MEDICAL ETHICS being very clear that under 5% of the population should ever have been vaccinated? Well, most of you put your trust in charlatans and bent politicians, and now its time to reap the consequences!
    3
  8414. What a wonderful president Putin has been for Russia. He will go down in Russian history for at least 3 outstanding achievements: 1. He has tanked the Russian economy, and destroyed an easy and lucrative market for Russian gas that could have lasted decades. 2. He has killed far more Russians in the last 13 months than have died in very single Russian conflict, put together, since the end of WW II. 3. He has more than doubled the length of Russia's border with NATO. Clearly, Russia has a president of exceptional intelligence and vision.
    3
  8415. We are where we are today because Russia was allowed to win in Crimea!

  8421. These loses will come out before too long, as people notice when their friends and loved ones "disappear". But Trump is absolutely determined to save Putin from the consequences of this discovery.
    3
  8422. They also had this time to understand that the REAL experts advice was bang on, and that it's JUST the most vulnerable that they should be locking down and vaccinating. If this were done NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY would quickly kick in. Sweden doesn't even come within the top 50 countries when it comes to deaths per million. This is well below the UK and most European countries, and its infection rate is really low. But corrupt power crazy governments refuse to accept what's right in front of their eyes.

  8429. This is all well and good. However it's a bit like stamping on an ants' nest. You have to do a hell of a lot of stamping before they stop coming, and often you get tired first. Occasionally we see Ukraine hit a Russian oil refinery or missile factory and think that they have finally adopted a strategy that would be successful. But this always proves to be a one off. You can't play a game where the rules massively favour your opponent. You have to change the game or you will lose!
    3
  8430. The efforts to hide the truth about how wrongly Covid was handled is without doubt the biggest coverup attempt the world has ever known, by a wide margin. And most mainstream media including YouTube is actively involved in it. It's a good job that Google removed the "don't be evil" clause from its code of conduct. Sadly, so far the coverup has worked extremely well, because most people don't want to admit just how badly they have been suckered.

  8439. There are decent muslims. They are the ones who want to see their daughters well educated, and don't force them, or their wives, to wear oppressive clothing. These are fine, but civilized countries should make it impossible for fundamentalists to live in them. A good start would be a total ban on wearing oppressive clothing anywhere. Also, at least in the UK, we need to get rid of almost all postal votes and make going to the polls compulsory (with a spoilt option on the ballot paper). This would put an end to cavemen stealing the votes of their wives, sisters, and daughters.

  8440. I'm thinking of putting in a complaint. I was eating my dinner when the news showed Gove in a nightclub. It was truly sickening and almost made me throw up.

  8445. Realistic estimates are that around 200,000 Orcs have been killed or disabled since the start of Putin's invasion. He is now running out of prison convicts to use as cannon fodder and so will have to resort to further conscription, which will not go down well in Russia.

  8487. You won't find teachers in Canada, where they are well treated, striking. In fact it's bloody hard to get a teaching job there. Most people in the UK don't want to know what a truly awful job teaching in the UK is. Many teachers are incredibly overworked, and put in as many hours outside school as they do while there: maybe even more. When they are in the classroom they get it in the neck from unruly kids, who they are not allowed discipline, and outside the classroom they are bullied mercilessly by inept management. All this is probably more important than the pay. As for the pay, once you claw your way up the pay scale you will have to stay put in your current school because most schools are now only interested in recruiting cheap NQTs or on the job trainees. Well, that's if you can keep your job, because older more experienced teachers are often relentlessly bullied until they leave.

  8505. ​ @NGRevenant  Wow, that is truly insane. I'm sure other doctors could relate other equally insane dictates that would horrify most people. The trouble is most doctors have to think about feeding their family before going public, and even if they did most MSM wouldn't report what they are told. I've spoken privately to a few doctors. They seem to fall into two camps. Those who agree that most of what is going on has no foundation in science, and those who prefer not to offer an opinion. I've yet to talk to a doctor who supports what's being done.

They also used to have a luncheon club for them (opposite Hornsey railway station) and arrange little outings to places like St. Albans Tea Shop for the old people. Does any of this still exist?

Unfortunately, the only way we are going to put an end to this government's tyranny is when enough people decide they won't take anymore of these insane restrictions and ignore them, and refuse to pay any fines.

  8539. It's not just businesses that are worried. A good number of doctors have begged the government to open things up on June 21. They are extremely concerned about all the missed checkups and procedures, caused by restrictions, which they KNOW will result in lots of deaths. Let's also get things in perspective. Everyday on our roads, on average, 69 people die or are seriously injured. Now the worst predictions of the SAGE Dr. Deaths is that keeping "Freedom Day" could result in 40 daily deaths, and as we know these Chicken Littles always grossly exaggerate. The fact of the matter is that while we might have more infections we are seeing relatively few extra deaths or hospitalisations: and these are what matter.

  8544. Let's be honest. The only people who support inheritance tax are envious of others good fortune. These people pay tax on what they earn and what they buy, just like the rest of us. Why should the government be allowed to steal from them when they die? Imagine you had grown up and spent all your life in a nice home. Your beloved parents die. Then to compound your pain and misery the government tells you that you now owe them lots of money, and so will have to sell the only home you have ever known in order to pay them. Inheritance tax is theft!

They can max out credit cards and overdrafts, and maybe sell some stuff, BUT ultimately reality catches up and they come crashing down really hard. This is exactly what's happening with Russia. As long as the West remains resolute in its application of sanctions, or even increases them, then Russia will eventually suffer an almighty crash.

  8587. Yes, for countries that expect the West to make heavy sacrifices in the face of climate change, this is unbelievably stupid. But then the people making these comments are exactly that.
    3
  8588. You stupid bint! If the police hadn't acted like the Gestapo against so many peaceful protests then there's a very good chance protests wouldn't have turned violent. For well over a year the police have been used to deprive people of their basic rights. When you override the democratic process people have the choice of either rolling over or fighting back physically.

  8589. If their is only one massive supply of water in a crater at the south pole of the moon then it is vital, for so many future missions, including any to Mars, that the US secures the area before the Chinese.

  8590. Good! The sooner the whole world accepts that Covid-19 is here to stay, and starts treating it like a cold or flu, the better for everyone.

  8591. Hey, Labour Boy, we run a DEMOCRACY in the UK, which says Starmer has to wait two more years before trying to con people into electing him.

  8592.  @pippip8744  When did you become a Putin rent boy?
    3
  8593. Just like a third of Putin's Black Sea navy blew those sea drones out of the sea.
    3
  8594. I can't stand TTK, but the trouble is that rich boy Sunak, and those before him also did bugger all.
    3
  8595. It shows you what a joke this country is.
    3
  8596. With regard to drones and missiles, until a few days ago Russian air defences expected them to come across the border, they had more warning, especially for slower moving drones. Launching from inside Russia may, at least for a little while, allow them to hit targets far more effectively.

  8598. Am I the only one sick of hearing the euphemism "grooming gangs", so as not to upset certain groups? Let's call a spade a spade: RAPE GANGS!
    3
  8599. Like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, the REAL experts warned against lockdowns before they even started, but they were ignored. In the last year or so several reputable studies have concluded that they were completely ineffective. When you don't know what to do often the wisest thing is not to do anything until you have a better idea of what you are dealing with. But a cowardly, and none too bright, government were desperate to be seen to be doing something, even if it did more harm than good. This "inquiry" is about covering up their terrible mistakes and exonerating them.
    3
  8600. It is very well reported that 25% of working age people are neither working nor even seeking work. Are 25% of the people that you know too sick to work? Am I the only one wondering whether THIS is where truly massive savings might be made?
    3
  8601. I wonder how free that vote will be.
    3
  8602. ​ @cun7us  You silly frightened fool. Every other country didn't do the same. I now fly the Swedish flag in front of my home, to honour a country whose government didn't go full-on tyrant. You don't hear Sweden mentioned in the news because its success is an intense embarrassment to out dictators.
    3
  8603. I do believe your 25,000 figure is very out of date. I'm fairly certain that current estimates of killed and maimed Orcs are around 100,000.

  8605. If Worm Tongue is infuriated it's because he wasn't invited.

  8606. Somehow I just can't seem to feel any sympathy for people who come to grief while trying to get high on drugs. When I want to feel good I find that a nice country walk does the job.
    3
  8607. The trouble for Tories who want to oust Boris is that the scumbags lined up to take his place are just as bad or even worse. It's like trying to find a bit of steaming turd that doesn't smell bad. The only way for the Tories to recover from this is for someone like Desmond Swayne to throw his hat into the leadership ring, and for everyone to get behind him.
    3
  8608. Come on folks, this is really funny. Cleverly's supporters were so sure that he was secure that instead of being honest, and voting for their preferred candidate, they engaged in dishonest "tactical voting". It backfired spectacularly.
    3
  8609. I've been saying this from that start.
    3
  8610. I'm not a motorist but I can fully understand this behaviour, on some occasions. How often have you seen roads blocked off well before the roadworks start, and often not promptly reopened afterwards? This is totally unacceptable, and if I were driving I'd be very inclined to remove unnecessary blockages.
    3
  8611. So many people feel exactly the same about this.
    3
  8612. Well, Putin certainly well and truly ticks the first three boxes, so on a majority count I'd go with Biden.
    3
  8613. If he did then he would visit his own troops on the front line.
    3
  8614. Weeks ago I said that the Kremlin had already decided to announce that Putin had won by 90% to 95%. I wasn't far off.
    3
  8615. So Nicola the Knicker Wetter is drawing on research that the rest of us haven't seen. This shows that those having a meal and/or drinking orange juice will not catch covid-19, but those having a pint of beer will. This is a prime example of why democracy doesn't work. People elect complete imbeciles like Drakeford, Johnson and Sturgeon.
    3
  8616. Putin's mother made a very serious mistake when she didn't abort him.

  8617. Has Britain ever had a thicker and more incompetent government than this one?
    3
  8618. Ah the sweet smell of quick roasted Orc.
    3
  8619. As a recent freedom of information request to the ONS proved, covid-19 was never any threat to about 99% of the population. Very far from the 150,000 deaths that the government would have us believe, ONLY 17,500 otherwise healthy people died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. We also have numerous studies showing how vastly better and much longer lasting natural immunity is, compared to vaccination. We should never have had these restrictions, as the REAL experts said right at the start!
    3
  8620. Is anyone in the least surprised by this?
    3
  8621. The NHS is already chronically understaffed. The direct, and unavoidable, consequence of them sacking 10% of nurses and doctors is that LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. This is one bit of tyranny that Downing Street is going to be forced to back away from, with its tail between its legs.
    3
  8622. Letting women join the army wasn't in itself a mistake. What was intensely stupid was lowering the requirements for them. ALL jobs need to have one set of standards. The only requirement should be how well one satisfies those standards.
    3
  8623. A lot of the money will go straight down the drain unless the vastly excessive numbers of NHS managers and admin staff are cut to about one third of the current size!
    3
  8624. It's a cushy number if you are a manager, rather than a doctor or a nurse!
    3
  8625. This is just one reason why the good guys mustn't let Russia win in Ukraine. And it really is a case of "let".
    3
  8626. Alternatively, London is big enough, so people should bugger off and live, and build businesses, in other cities. I'd like to go live on Maui, but most of us can't live where we want to!
    3
  8627. The managers of Transport for London must be incredibly stupid and lame allowing these strikers to work on Tuesday and Thursday, and collect full pay for these days. As they will be badly disrupted by the Monday, Wednesday and Friday strikes, the striker s should have been told not to come in for the whole 5 days.
    3
  8628. Listen quietly in the Kremlin and you will hear Putin crying for his mummy.

  8629. J’aimerais avoir tort, mais je m’attends à ce que des histoires de traitements vraiment horribles émergent dans les prochains jours.

  8630. And they come with a couple of free roasted pigs inside.
    3
  8631. Hopefully they will arrive in Ukraine very soon, because they were needed yesterday.
    3
  8632. Well, on the plus side, maybe this will encourage farming practices that only put the fertiliser exactly where its needed, and in the right quantity, thus helping reduce the pollution of our waterways.
    3
  8633. Lots of American, British and Polish pilots are eager to fly those jets on missions to keep Ukraine skies Orc free.

  8634. If someone is very dissatisfied with their quality of life then why should someone else have the right to force them to continue living, for the sake of superstitious beliefs that educated people no longer subscribe to?

  8636. Might as well be reporting the number of colds. Stop making such a bloody fuss over a variants that is EXTREMELY MILD!
    3
  8637. Go Azov Battalion. Ukraine and the world is proud of the splendid work you are doing.
    3
  8638. Here's something for those who genuinely believe in democracy to think about. If we had had a Proportional Representation system then Labour would only have won half as many seats as they did, and Reform UK would have won over 10 times as many!
    3
  8639. 80 years ago Britain was on the receiving end of very similar treatment. It didn't work then, and hopefully it won't work with Ukraine now.
    3
  8640. Doesn't matter. The Kremlin has already decided the result of any election.
    3
  8641. The Downing Street Dictators only have power because people comply with their tyrannical laws. Do not comply. Resistance is not futile. Why are people letting a bunch of lying, cheating losers, with useless classics and PPE degrees, turn their lives upside down? There is not one shred of solid scientific evidence that this variant is any worse than the thousands of others that have come and gone. Being "concerned" is totally different than having proof.
    3
  8642. Sounds right, which means that some Downing Street stooge will probably get your post pulled.

  8643. Millions of lemmings jump over the cliff. It's the few smart ones who don't!

  8645. @Cycling God This was tried in 1938, in Munich, with Hitler, and look how well that turned out. Putin is cut from the same kind of cloth.

  8646. Ah, but this whinging Pom definitely feels very sorry for himself.
    3
  8647.  @Nick7901962  Nice try troll. The first identified sample, from Botswana dates back to 9th November. Lying doesn't work when people can check the facts for themselves.
    3
  8648. I'm sick of seeing doctors and nurses morally blackmailed. The truth is that their pay and conditions have been eroded by BOTH parties for decades. Nurses and junior doctors are worked to the bone. Can anyone HONESTLY suggest any other way that they might get fair treatment?
    3
  8649. And you expected something different? We have a third-rate lawyer who only ever cared about getting his foot in No.10, and who now only cares about staying there. This sad excuse for a man doesn't care about Britain, its values, or its people!
    3
  8650. And look what they did to Sweden for letting them in. I could cry when I think about what a safe nice country Sweden was 40 years ago when I visited it.
    3
  8651. No vaccine, no booster, and no mask for me, thanks.
    3
  8652. Mossad still needs to take out the cowardly Hamas leader who is living a life of luxury in Qatar!
    3
  8653. Many doctors and nurses aren't too chuffed either. My sister, who has now retired as a nurse, probably has enough material to write a book on how they have been mistreated and buggered around.
    3
  8654. Those on minimum wage get about 2.5 times as much as struggling OAPs, who are facing massive increases in their heating and food bills. So why is Sunak reneging on the "triple lock", which is only a couple of percent more than the amount that he has upped the minimum wage by? If the Tories wanted to cut down on the pension bill then perhaps they should have just let covid-19 kill off a lot more OAPs. It might have been a lot kinder than letting them struggle in destitution for a few more years.
    3
  8655. They entered the UK LEGALLY. We can't just go and live wherever we want to, otherwise I'd now be living in Hawaii.
    3
  8656. When someone doubles down you DON'T give up, you double down again! The cost of giving in to a tyrant is more tyranny. And what a bed wetting despot Trudeau is turning out to be. This pathetic excuse for a man is getting really desperate. He's abusing emergency powers that are meant for things like floods and hurricanes.
    3
  8657. Cast your mind back to the much larger vigil for Sarah Everard: raped and murdered by a Met policeman. The police didn't hesitate to break this up, and indeed did so with great eagerness. Yet they were unwilling to deal with this much smaller group. Is it any wonder that hardly anyone now trusts the Met Police?
    3
  8658. So, roast Orc for dinner.
    3
  8659. Aha, the penny has finally dropped. Putin has never been interested in peace, and is playing Trump and his boys for complete suckers.
    3
  8660. The effects of both are still having a major effect, so how do you propose "getting over it"?
    3
  8661. Then they will have a cross hand bougie to comfort each other.
    3
  8662. Maybe Tory MPs should try choosing an HONEST person as PM. Someone like Desmond Swayne, who cared enough about this country to steadfastly oppose the totally unnecessary covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions, which are the main cause of our current economic woes.
    3
  8663. Igor could replace both Grimm brothers. The TRUTH is that Russian forces are too busy soiling their pants, and running away, to attack anything!
    3
  8664. That's because British law and values don't apply to certain ethnicities of a particular religious persuasion. Doesn't everyone know that?
    3
  8665. Serves Ukraine right for not taking out a Russian dam after last time they did this. When will Zelenksy ever learn that Russia will continue with such atrocities as long as it feels that it can do so with impunity?
    3
  8666. Labour has always pursued envious levelling down policies!
    3
  8667. We could put a stop to these overnight if we stopped paying for the first 3 days, demanded a doctor's certificate for longer, and forced doctors to be very strict about issuing them.
    3
  8668. There's no need to single out the Burqa, and thus be accused of discrimination. No one can have failed to notice videos showing thieves or protestors in masks. As a matter of security ALL face coverings should be outlawed unless the temperature is less than -15°C. This could be enforced by on the spot fines: escalating for repeat offences.
    3
  8669. But at least, unlike Putin, he has control over his bowel movements.
    3
  8670. And YouTube is removing comments comparing this to giving Hitler an obituary.
    3
  8671. America, Britain and Poland can be proud of the support they have given, and continue to give, to Ukraine. Various other European countries have behaved in a selfish, cowardly, and very short-sighted manner, that they should be ashamed of. And then there are those countries whose support for Russia is on a par with supporting Hitler's genocide!
    3
  8672. Just admit that Sunak is completely clueless. Most people would have realised that an early D-day exit would cause serious offence and hurt. And now we have his ridiculous remark about not having Sky TV. Vote Reform UK!
    3
  8673. They aren't Palestine marches, they are pro-Hamas marches, by anti-Semites. They should have been banned from the start, which is what other countries did.
    3
  8674. I've lost count of the number of times I've said exactly this. And because one can't defend 1000s of miles of pipelines it's a relatively easy target. I've also pointed out that if, with far less resources, the IRA could destroy the NatWest Tower then Ukraine has no excuse for not taking out a few skyscrapers in Moscow!
    3
  8675. They should have just kept the Nightgales and dumped the bloody covid-19 cases in them, instead of clogging up our hospitals so that they can't look after the other more than 99%. I'm really sick of most of us being held to ransom, and having our lives turned upside down for the sake of well under 1%.
    3
  8676. I see Satan's little helper is at it again. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    3
  8677. Raab tells me that Crete is very nice at this time of year.
    3
  8678. If only! He's so incompetent he probably couldn't even manage that.

  8679. Trudeau is definitely a rabid animal that needs to be removed from power ASAP. However is Australia any better, with the likes of Dan Andrews and its "well camps"?

  8681. A positive PCR test definitely does NOT mean you have covid-19. At least 1/3 of tests are false positives!
    3
  8682. One of the foundations of ethical medicine is that you do not give people medical treatments that they do not need. This means that you do not vaccinate people who are already immune, which currently stands at about 25% of the population. While its OK to offer a vaccine to someone for whom a disease poses very low risk, THEY must be fully informed and must WANT that vaccine. Once again, it's completely unethical to impose medical treatment on someone who doesn't need it just to benefit others. This applies to almost everyone under 40. These basic tenets of good practice are being trampled upon. So is it any wonder that we have so much skepticism? And I haven't yet addressed safety fears. The irrefutable fact is that we have a bunch of pathological liars and cheats in Downing Street. They have demonstrated time and time again that they will not hesitate to lie or withhold information to suit their ends. Is it any wonder that people don't trust them when they say that these vaccines are safe. As for believing the scientists, the problem is we cannot be certain that they haven't been pressured by Downing Street.
    3
  8683. 20,000 civilians killed doesn't sound at all unlikely when one remembers that in WW II the Russian arm butchered 22,000 Polish officers.

  8684. This shows that the Orcs can indeed be driven back out of the areas that they have infested. Hopefully we will soon see them being eradicated in the Dombas region.
    3
  8685. Very well said Mercy. English language lessons should be compulsory, for several hours a day, until a basic level of proficiency has been reached. We do get cavemen fundamentalist admitted to the UK, and one of the ways they exercise control over the women in their households is by making sure they don't learn English. I'd also like to ban oppressive clothing, such as burqas and hijabs for girls under 18. As a teacher I have had girls tell me that they only wear the hajib because their parents force them to.

  8688.  @WHS_reviews  He's a well known Putin rent boy.
    3
  8689. The simple fact is that, contrary to government and police rhetoric, knife crime isn't taken very seriously. If it was we would be seeing MANY prosecutions for carrying a knife, AND very severe sentencing of those caught. ONLY this will put a stop to such tragedies!
    3
  8690. If they think it's bad now, just wait till they are dumped on the battlefield. Their lives are of no value to Putin!
    3
  8691. In a "normal society" you DON'T vaccinate people against a virus that has only killed 17,500 healthy people in the last 2 years: almost all of whom were over 65. This is especially so when the "vaccines" use mRNA, which has never been used before in a vaccine, and we don't know the long term consequences of this.
    3
  8692. I find it deeply offensive when people call Boris Johnson a clown and a moron. Don't people appreciate how terribly insulting this is to clowns and morons?
    3
  8693. And nappies to incontinent Putin 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  8694. So, China's major rivers are drying up, there's been a major earthquake, and there are serious economic woes. Yet Child Xi is still throwing his toys out of the pram over another country that simply wants to be left alone to live in peace.
    3
  8695. There's an old saying: "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"! The people employed to write these systems are very far from being the sharpest pencils in the box, because places like the City pay top dollar to attract the best. I know because I enjoyed many very lucrative years working as a software engineer for City firms. But the irony is is that ultimately it's actually a lot cheaper to employ the best, because they really do produce vastly better systems, and they produce them a lot quicker.
    3
  8696. Why are the faces of these evil Orcs being hidden?

  8699.  @williamgeorgefraser  Fortunately, in New Zealand, students usually refrain from thumping teachers.
    3
  8700. Bientôt ce sera les bébés!
    3
  8701. Exactly. For many who leave it's not about the money. They have to take crap from students they can't properly sanction, and they are mercilessly bullied by management. Also, to pour petrol on the fire, most schools won't employ older more experienced teachers, who cost more, and are much harder to bully. If you are a parent take a good look at how many older teachers there are in your kid's school. Also, schools discourage applications by insisting that applicants spend half a day filling in their own "special" application form, rather than accepting a CV and covering letter: the gold standard for real professionals.
    3
  8702. The REAL experts, like Oxford Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned that lockdowns were unnecessary and would be immensely damaging. The IFR was a mere 0.3% at the very most, and it was well known what group was at risk. However this so-called "inquiry" has assiduously avoided questioning whether we should have had lockdowns. This isn't an inquiry. It's a whitewashing exercise to exonerate the guilty and fatten lawyers' wallets.
    3
  8703. That's like a Saharan country worried that Greenland wants to steal snow from it.🤣
    3
  8704. Or perhaps people like you just don't have the mental capacity to understand just how much damage restrictions will cause for many years to come. That's what's truly mind boggling!

  8705. What a joke! This deranged psychopath might just as well announce that Russia now owns the Moon.

  8714. Can anyone name any Royal that is particularly bright?
    3
  8715. Well the pingdemic definitely won't get worse if most people use a little common sense and delete the NHS app. If I was a boss having this app on in the workplace would be a very serious offence meriting a written warning, and the sack if it was repeated.

    3
  8734. The ONLY way to make CERTAIN there isn't any discrimination in regard to vaccination is to OUTLAW vaccination certificates or passports (or stamps in them). The law lords, in the supreme court need to make this law. On Brexit, one of the few clear benefits is the end to foreign fishing vessels pillaging British fish in British waters. When we finally leave I wouldn't let any foreign vessel catch so much as a single sprat. Boris must stand firm on this. As soon as we leave only British fishing vessels should be allowed in our fishing grounds, and any others caught there should be sunk on the spot: with their crew, if they offer any resistance.

  8737. Sorry John, but unlike most of your videos this one has to get the thumbs down. The cabinet cretins have pursued a totally indefensible approach in the last few months, and expecting everyone to wear masks is part of it. Firstly, it would have helped immensely if they had acknowledged that those who have had immunity don't need to follow ANY measures, as they can no longer catch or spread the virus. So in London probably more than 25% should now have immunity certificates that allow them to go about their lives unmolested. Much more importantly, with the extremely low death rate, we NEED the virus to spread rapidly NOW, before winter. Those who are vulnerable need to isolate and let the rest of us mingle, catch, and recover from covid-19 and build up that herd immunity that they are depending on. This is the only sensible solution. Ministers are too bloody stupid and cowardly to accept this. Most are still expecting a vaccine before Christmas: the second coming is more likely. We have the hospital capacity at the moment, so now is the time to encourage that inevitable second wave. If the tiny percentage that are vulnerable keep their heads down, instead of expecting everybody else's life to be turned upside down for them, and we get out and party like mad, then we would probably have herd immunity before the flu season gets going in earnest. The masks we really need are airtight ones for Boris and all his Hooray Henry sidekicks.

If you can afford to run a car then you really aren't that poor! As for putting women at risk, next week we will be hearing from the half-wit brigade, who ferry their children to school, that taking a bus, cycling, or walking will endanger their kids' lives.

  8739. The best way to make sure more things like this don't happen is to blow up a dam in Russia, of similar size and importance, ASAP. When someone knows that what they do will be done unto them in return this serves as a very strong deterrent. This is the ONLY thing Russia understands.

OK it's 24% higher in Brazil, but it's hardly Apocalyptic stuff. And at least Brazil hasn't spent over a year wrecking its economy and buggering the hell out of its kids education and mental health.

  8758. Let me get this right. The bursary has been removed for training to take up a skilled career that is damn hard work, and not particularly well paid. But, while we are hemorrhaging clinical staff there's certainly no shortage of overpaid, parasitic managers and administrators. If they just sucked money out of the NHS this in itself would be very bad, but it's far worse than this. These waste of space people actually make the jobs of our hard-working doctors and nurses much more difficult by burdening them with totally unnecessary paperwork, whose sole purpose is to justify the existence of those who do nothing for patients.

Our young people, and many others, are paying a terrible price for the stupidity, cowardice and selfishness of lockdowns and other unnecessary affronts to our liberty.

  8773. Sounds like scaremongering crap to me. To keep a missile airborne a large amount of propellent needs to be constantly ejected.

  8776. Let's take a close look at the Omicron variant. If it weren't for a moronic and despotic government this variant would be excellent news. It's more infectious, but EXTREMELY MILD. So, if the classics and PPE brigade don't screw it up, this variant could rapidly supplant more dangerous variants. It could also quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions. Thus generating the holy grail of herd immunity, that vaccines have spectacularly failed to do. Aha, that's the problem. The Downing Street Dictators don't want everyone finding out that they have lied through their teeth about natural immunity. They don't want people losing their fear of covid-19. Far better that more should die, and the economy be further wrecked.

  8777. If the Home Office didn't recruit complete incompetents our immigration officers would let these "asylum seekers" return home, and immediately cancel their travel documents so that the couldn't come back.

  8782. One thing this enquiry won't admit is that lockdowns and mass vaccinations were never necessary. This is a virus that only ever posed a threat to well under 1%, and the rest who got it gained natural immunity that was vastly better than the rushed through and poorly tested vaccines.

  8783. Two years ago Australia was a very appealing country to visit. Yes there were a lot of very dangerous, nasty critters, but nobody then realised they were running the country. So, let me think, do I want to visit a despotic Nazi dictatorship, with Gestapo pigs for police, who teargas, pepper spray and shoot rubber bullets at peaceful protestors? Call be peculiar, but I don't think so.
    3
  8784. What's wrong with Britain is completely down to Queer Starmer! Throughout the dictatorial enforcement of totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, many people like me repeatedly warned of the dire economic consequences to come. And we all know that this always hurts the poorest most. These are the very people that Starmer was meant to be looking out for. But he resolutely and staunchly supported what Downing Street did. Without Labour's support Downing Street could never have implemented the extremely damaging measures, and we would now be laughing are socks off like the Swedes.

  8785. Caution be damned! With every passing day it becomes more evident how right South African doctors were in characterising Omicron as EXTREMELY MILD. The faster this variant spreads, and creates herd immunity, the better.

Do we really want to deny humanity such benefits just to pander to a few scaredy cats?

  8796. As the graphs we are shown nightly clearly indicate the fall in the number of hospitalisations (the slope of the total of those in hospital) is steep: they are falling sharply. With 15 million of the most vulnerable vaccinated (many for several weeks now) we would not expect the vast majority of new infections to translate into hospitalisations. What this means is that the R number, and number of infections really aren't that important anymore, as most of these infected people will shrug it off with less ado than a bad cold. The government's "cautious" approach out of lockdown is actually an exceedingly cowardly approach. This "caution" is still having an incredibly damaging effect on people's lives, education, and mental health. Picking up on the last two mentioned, yet another study has found that schools do not contribute significantly to the spread of this virus. To go with such reports we are now very regularly being told of the devastation being visited on young people's education and mental health. Yet, instead of opening schools after half term the government intends to dawdle for another couple of weeks. So much for "listening to the science". There is absolutely no justification for this delay. Schools should open immediately, and GCSE and A-level exams should be immediately reinstated. Lockdown is very, very bad. It is something any decent and honest government would strive to end as quickly as possible.

  8798. BB I'd like your comment on this Barrister's behaviour, about 40 years ago at Snaresbrook Crown court. A drunken barman struck me as I was leaving the pub, but unfortunately for him there were two independent witnesses with impeccable backgrounds. On the first appearance at Snaresbrook the defendant's Barrister attempted to prove that I was a regular and known trouble maker. I totally demolished his line of attack and probably made him look a bit foolish. But he had one trick up his sleeve that I didn't expect. He got his defendant to fail to appear the following day on grounds of sickness. A retrial occurred a few weeks later in front of a totally new jury. This Barrister then totally changed his form of defence. Gone was his attack on my character. Instead he now maintained that the door had hit me as I was walking out. Are you honestly going to tell me that getting a trial rescheduled and totally changing ones defence tactics isn't grossly misleading.

  8805. We have countries like Belarus, ruled by Putin's puppets. We have countries like Georgia, who have had 20% of their land stolen by Putin. We have regions that absolutely do not want to be part of the Russian Federation. All of these ought to take full advantage of Russia's current weakness and strike now, because such a wonderful might not come again.
    3
  8806. Putin desperately needs Western resolve to weaken, so that he can launch a successful new offensive. If he gets another year of the same, or worse, I think it's extremely unlikely he will hang on to power. So let's give Ukraine everything it needs to repel a new offensive, which may well come from Belarus, in an attempt to cut off supplies to Ukraine via Poland. We want such an attack to turn into a turkey shoot that will make previous Russian loses look relatively insignificant. Poland and Finland need to ignore that coward Scholz, and send those Leopard tanks to Ukraine ASAP, without waiting for permission that will never come.

  8813. Boris, old chap, let me explain how decent, honest people go about things. They know that the future often isn't predictable. So they draw up legally binding agreements, in order to make things a little more certain. This means that, if things don't go quite as expected, decent people honour the commitments they have given and don't unilaterally renege on them. Doesn't Eton teach wide-boys like you about acting honourably, keeping ones word, and honouring ones commitments? No wonder you don't want to shake hands, because there's that expression used by good people: "let's shake on it".

  8814. Like most people you don't know the half of what a horrible life being a teacher in the UK is. You might be surprised at how many hours a lot of teachers put in. Those 14 weeks then don't look quiet so good. Not that most people are prepared to believe this. If teaching in the UK were wonderful then there wouldn't be such a shortage. In Canada it's bloody hard to get a teaching job, because they look after their teachers well. As for retire at 50, once you hit the top of the classroom teacher's pay scale most schools won't touch you with a barge pole: preferring cheap NQTs or on the job trainees. And a good percentage of schools even try to bully experienced and expensive teachers into quitting. So many of those 50 year-olds have been forcibly retired!

These days if it's too cloudy people run to the doctor claiming they are suffering from depression. It used to be that being labelled as mentally ill was seen as deeply shameful. Now many people wear it like a badge of pride.
    3
  8865. Many of us repeatedly warned that the floodgates would open if Labour was elected. And now it's been reported that about £45,000 a year is being spent on each illegal. That's more than double what most hardworking people take home after tax!

  8866. For those who were infected some time ago tests for memory T and B cells should be offered. Ah, but then the liars in Downing Street want people to believe that they have lost their immunity.

  8867. ​ @sfactory8253  For most people a car is most certainly not essential.
    3
  8868. Spot on!
    3
  8869. Absolutely correct. Most people should walk, cycle, or use public transport.
    3
  8870. As ready as the half million that have died or been maimed in Ukraine?
    3
  8871. Without shutting down all it's borders covid-19 will keep coming back. And even if it wanted to, it's probably not possible for China to exercise that kind of vigilance over all of its borders.
    3
  8872. Exactly!
    3
  8873. As a man I'd say that women should do whatever makes them more comfortable. However those who are a bit top heavy might like to worry about the serious sag effect in later years. As for going topless. Yes, if it's OK for men then it should be OK for women. We shouldn't pander to people's silly prudishness over nudity.

  8874.  @alzheimer7629  Your "used against you" comment reminded me of being told many years ago that this was exactly what the whips in parliament did, in order to make members vote in accord with the party leader's agenda.

  8875. Scotland IS stupid, for reelecting Nicola the knicker wetter.

  8876.  @Lb-mn3ds  Very true. England elected a clown.

  8877. Anyone who believes in such utter fantasies as dudes rising for the dead clearly isn't that bright. So who cares what this idiot thinks. He probably also thinks that Hitler just had anger management issues.

  8878. There is no God!

  8879. Having confidence in a dim-witted ex fireplace salesman is not going to do anything good for Sunak's image. I wouldn't have confidence in Williamson running a bath!
    3
  8880. In a Ukraine video you actually see Orcs and their equipment getting toasted. In a Russian MoD video all you ever see is them firing and and blurred image of shells landing in a field or wood. On one of the few occasions when one could see them actually hitting some (again blurred) vehicles they turned out to be agricultural machinery.

  8881. Never mind 11, I wouldn't give a smart phone to anyone under 18!

  8882. It's got nothing to do with Rich Boy Sunak being Indian. It's to do with him being a back-stabber, who cheated millions of poor OAPs out of their rightful pension rise when they needed it most.

  8883. @Marie McIntyre Only if you are Mexican or South American.

  8884. Unless you are a bed wetting snowflake or woke.

  8885. I don't know about disability benefits, but I do know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that there are several million quite capable of working who are on benefits claiming that they are sick.
    3
  8886. If that figure is anywhere close to correct then its reflects very well on Ukraine, because Ukrainians have cleansed their country of about 100,000 Orcs.
    3
  8887. Well at least there are lots of pretty women from Ukraine, unlike those who paddle over in dinghies, who are almost entirely male, and who you need to protect your daughters from!

  8888. Who always says exactly what his boss wants to hear.
    3
  8889.  @Jac70  Exactly. This is what a lot of people will be thinking.
    3
  8890. India should be careful what it wishes for. It probably doesn't want to lose the kind of people who are most likely to head for the UK, like doctors and dentists, who any sensible Brit would welcome with open arms.
    3
  8891. The thing is that "misery loves company". All those schmucks out there, who succumbed to government lies and pressure, will feel so much better when others are forced to take these vaccines.
    3
  8892. This is why we must keep giving Ukraine all possible support and the Ukrainian military must keep up, or increase, its momentum. Putin must be denied any kind of victory. The just announced attack on the Kerch Bridge is well timed. It's deep inside occupied territory and will cause Putin a lot of embarrassment.
    3
  8893. Treble would be better. I'd be ashamed to own a holiday home in a rural area. Such people, who already have a home, push up the prices in these areas so that those who live and work there can't even afford one!
    3
  8894. There's a very simple reason for this. The CDC is now Washington's poodle. It will not publish anything that CONFIRMS how innocuous covid-19 is to 99% of the population, or how fantastically good and long lasting natural immunity is.
    3
  8895. What's the saying? Good riddance to bad rubbish!
    3
  8896. It's all part of the government's plan to reduce waiting lists and waiting times.
    3
  8897. Never underestimate the ability of stupid, selfish people to make bad situation far worse.
    3
  8898. So, what's new? Russia has been doing this from the moment it invaded Ukraine. At closer quarters it's Orcs have also been raping and torturing.
    3
  8899. This is what happens when you have a police force than can't be bothered to deal with such crimes, and courts that aren't prepared to punish them. Oh, and when shopkeepers aren't allowed keep a weapon behind the counter to defend themselves: as they are in the USA.
    3
  8900. "Unbalanced" is an understatement. Let's just consider YouTube. The number of anti-Hamas and pro-Israeli comments they have removed is probably in the millions, and they often remove the (genuine) "likes" from those comments they haven't deleted or hidden.
    3
  8901. If my mortgage had been 3 or 4 times the rate of today's I'd having been laughing my head off at how fortunate I was. It's high time those with mortgages paid realistic interest on what they have borrowed!
    3
  8902. While there are rabid, foaming at the mouth, countries like Iran and North Korea around both Russia and the US should be more worried about them than each other
    3
  8903. I'm disgusted at how willing people are to play the mental health card today. In my day what's now called a mental health issue would have (rightly) been put down to lack of backbone and character. These pathetic people need to get a damn good kick up the backside and be told to MAN UP!
    3
  8904. Whether you agree with them or not, the whole purpose of a strike is to cause the maximum expense and inconvenience possible, because these are the only things that make strikes effective.
    3
  8905. And Russia isn't suffering in the least for this, which means Putin won't hesitate to do something similar again, and probably very soon.
    3
  8906. No farmland needs to be destroyed for nuclear power. AND Australia has tons of its own Uranium and the most stable tectonics in the world. The UK has incredibly stupid and self-serving politicians, but it looks like those in Oz would give them a really good run for their (our) money.
    3
  8907. ​@Mark Jones You are right. Putin is extremely sensitive to humiliation, so it's very important that everybody, especially the Russian people, get told that he is incontinent. So I'm going to do my part to try and help spread facts that will cause him very serious humiliation.
    3
  8908. So many young men, a little over 80 years ago, sacrificed their lives to defend our freedom. They must be turning in their graves at the way in which Starmer has trampled on our democracy and free speech. Our courts now resemble those in Russia, where the dictates of the government are dispensed rather than justice!
    3
  8909. What's stupid is thinking you can negotiate with Putin. Remember Chamberlain and Hitler.
    3
  8910. If this war is an orchestra for Ukraine then sadly the orchestra has taken far too many pauses, and has been playing pianissimo, pianissimo most of the time instead of forte, forte!
    3
  8911. In woke Britain people are afraid to blame any of this on lazy kids. But the truth is that most of our kids feel incredibly entitled, and they give up the second anything requires them to put in a hard and sustained effort. Well, guess what? Things like maths, chemistry and physics are hard. Instead of giving up kids need to grit their teeth, get their head down and master something they can be proud of achieving. No pain, no gain!
    3
  8912. Free it from Hamas.
    3
  8913. Thank you Mark, that's exactly what I said: that Putin is running out of his own weapons to do this kind of murder with. If only the mad mullahs in Iran were removed from power then Russian would lose even these.
    3
  8914. They can have mine.😊
    3
  8915. If such blackmail is ever given into then it will be used time and time again, and not just by Russia.
    3
  8916. Israel has NEVER initiated hostilities.
    3
  8917. Yep, and once he declares the "referendum" regions to be part of Russia he will be calling up all the men there to die for him. After all, they are already exactly where he wants his troops to be.
    3
  8918. Years ago, in the Isle of Man this behaviour would have earned a good birching. Then again, because of that penalty, it wouldn't have happened.
    3
  8919. Or just a little encouragement to sign from a few of Putin's FSB goons, with the signing taking place in a soundproof room that's easily cleaned.
    3
  8920. When you grow up you will realise that there's a big difference between being informed and being mature enough to weigh up that information.
    3
  8921. That's the truth.
    3
  8922. At 63 this hardly affects me, but I do feel sorry for all those businesses that will now go down the tubes, taking many thousands of jobs with them. One of the coward's favourite phrases is "I was just being cautious".
    3
  8923. While an emergency service should be fully available 24/7, 365 days a year, doctors and nurses need a decent break from work just like everyone else does.
    3
  8924. Will most of us even notice the difference if GPs go on strike?
    3
  8925. Ah, you've got to love British state education. Half the teachers are perverts, and the other half are incompetent. No wonder Starmer hates private schools, where things aren't quite as bad.
    3
  8926. The question I'd be asking is what Putin will do during such a ceasefire. I'm expecting him to massively rearm and reinforce all Russian positions, and move up lots more troops and equipment. Putin wants peace as badly as Ali Khamenei wants a bacon sandwich and a beer to wash it down with.
    3
  8927. Get those cluster munitions to them ASAP!

  8928. Good for him!

  8929. ​ @trader2137  That one managed to escape is very upsetting.
    3
  8930. I'm just waiting for the leaked memo or email showing that Boris and his cronies had saline injections rather than chancing it on the poorly tested vaccines they urged everyone else to take. My God am I going to LMAO if this ever comes to light.
    3
  8931. Repeat after me: "immigrants are living saints, immigrants can do no wrong".
    3
  8932. Most of us wouldn't be at all surprised if it transpired that Scholz let these leaks happen.
    3
  8933. Never a truer word. There must be thousands, of people in this country who suffer genuine discrimination and injustice, and they won't get a sniff at receiving legal aid. In a time of serious economic hardship for so many this is OUR money being flushed down the toilet!
    3
  8934. I do wonder if Zelensky has given the slightest thought to how a certain bridge will be (very heavily) used during any ceasefire, if it is left standing.
    3
  8935. Rather than wasting time and money arresting these rabid fundamentalists, Mossad should be simply terminating them.
    3
  8936. Only the most perverted and scientifically illiterate would welcome any support for imperial measurements. They are a complete pain in the arse. The metric system is vastly easier to work with. There are somethings that really need to die such as nuisance languages like Maori, Welsh and Gallic, and things like Fahrenheit and miles.
    3
  8937. How's this for a great charity fund raiser. The pair of them put on boxing gloves and step in the ring in Las Vegas.
    3
  8938. Even Chicken Joe should realise that Putin would have escalated log ago if he were capable.
    3
  8939. At last someone mentioning lockdown. This was totally unnecessary and is the main cause of all our current economic and NHS woes. Those who implemented it deserve lengthy prison sentences.
    3
  8940. It's only certain groups of immigrants that are the problem. After the war a very large number of Poles, my father included, made England their home. And, like so many others, my Irish mother did the same. You will find Polish and Irish clubs and cultural centres, but what you won't find is Poles or Irish trying to force a different way of life on their adoptive country. You won't find them grooming young girls on an industrial scale, or threatening Jews. The same could be said for the Chinese and Indian Hindus. Immigration, per se, isn't the problem. It's letting in people who have no desire whatsoever to integrate, and no respect for our laws and customs.
    3
  8941. When will people learn that most enquiries only serve to fatten lawyers' wallets? What we need to see is long overdue justice promptly served against both the perpetrators and those who turned a bling eye.
    3
  8942. From the very limited use that Ukraine has made of its F-16s, after making such a fuss over getting some, one wouldn't think that they were much of a big deal.
    3
  8943. Could the reason be because the East Midlands contributes the least, or very little, to the UK as a whole?
    3
  8944. No, they were Russian Orcs.
    3
  8945. Blackmail and coercion: and it's not even scientifically justifiable. If the government were focusing on lifting restrictions for immune people then that would make sense, but they are not. It is a now a very well established fact that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that might even last a lifetime. These people gain nothing from being vaccinated and, since the vaccines are known to carry a small risk, vaccinating them flies completely in the face of medical ethics. Natural immunity can be confirmed by testing for antibodies, or memory B and T cells in those who were infected some time ago. Not affording these people parity with those who have had two jabs is indefensible, both scientifically and morally.

  8946.  @hydrogreen1111  Do you still see them when the meth wears off?
    3
  8947. As a British taxpayer I want to see these missiles used ASAP to completely and permanently take out Putin's beloved Kerch bridge.
    3
  8948. It seems to me that a very good use of Belarusian volunteers would be covert operations in Belarus, to cause absolute mayhem and devastation to the combined Russian and Belarusian forces BEFORE they invade Ukraine. Because they are Belarusian they would blend in perfectly and it wouldn't be an incursion by Ukraine. This has the potential to do a hell of a lot of harm to forces not expecting such attacks, and really hurt morale.
    3
  8949. I wonder if these morons realise just how many things other than fuel that oils is essential for. Among other things it's needed for the asphalt that they glue themselves to and the glue itself.
    3
  8950. The same thing should have been done to Putin years ago. I'd have used something that would definitely work but was slow acting, so that it would get by his food tasters. Then again, if he really is in the terminal cancer stage then maybe somebody did indeed do exactly this.
    3
  8951. Am I the only one who doesn't want a lawyer wallet fattening enquiry, but rather the perpetrators, and those who turned a blind eye, brought to justice?
    3
  8952. "Next Spring"! Much as I'm cheering Ukraine on, if a very substantial dent isn't put in Russia WELL BEFORE this date then this spells really big trouble for Ukraine.
    3
  8953. If the Orcs are starting to move their ships out of range then it would be a REALLY GOOD idea to sink as many as possible while they can still be reached.
    3
  8954. This is something the UK can be incredibly proud of. All religion is superstitious nonsense, embraced by the poorly educated and feeble minded. So this report indicates that, despite what we all think, the UK is enjoying some success in educating its population.
    3
  8955. Ireland needs to have the guts to do what spineless Sunak won't. Transfer illegals to a remote, bleak island. I 100% guarantee that this will have them running back to Northern Ireland as fast as they possibly can.
    3
  8956. More fundamental, I'd have thought that, unless it's something like racial discrimination, a shop can choose what business it wants to accept, just like any other business.
    3
  8957. Well, Leipzig is in what was formerly East Germany. There are still a lot of Putin rent boys there who would dearly love to once again be ruled by Russia.
    3
  8958. BEFORE any major expansion of the NHS is undertaken about 2/3 of the parasitic management and admin staff need to be sacked. Without this essential prerequisite any extra money will be swallowed up without benefiting patients in the slightest.

  8959. A decent cop (are there any left) would phone in sick!

  8960.  @darkdan3379  Better to be owned by Trump than have your tongue up Trudeau's arse!
    3
  8961. Years ago we recognised that everyone has their ups and their downs, and this is normal. Today instead of gritting their teeth when they are having a tough time time too many people play the mental health card. Years ago most of us would have been deeply ashamed to claim mental health issues, but now many people wear it as a badge of pride.
    3
  8962. No, you're confusing it with how long incontinent Putin can last before needing his nappy changed.
    3
  8963. Compared to the billions of selfish private motorists, who own and drive cars that they really don't need, space exploration is like pissing in the ocean.
    3
  8964. You keep telling yourself that, Putin fanboy.
    3
  8965. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the protocol. So why should it be changed just to satisfy a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic.
    3
  8966. Well Starmer's dad definitely made a tool.
    3
  8967. Has this new variant been killing and hospitalizing lots of South Africans? If not then maybe it's not the mother of all bad-ass's that most politicians want us to believe it is. Could it possibly be that they just want to scare people into continuing to accept the violation of their rights and freedom.
    3
  8968. Rupa is superficially stupid. No, I take that back. She is stupid to the core.
    3
  8969. While the rest of us struggle financially and endure the endless gloom and rain I'm betting that Sunak is enjoying a luxury holiday in the sun.
    3
  8970. There's a reason governments are becoming so despotic about vaccination: NATURAL IMMUNITY. There is now no doubt that this is vastly better than what you get from a poorly tested vaccine, and it may last a lifetime. What this means is that governments definitely should have followed the REAL experts' advice, which was given to them very early on, and published later in the Great Barrington Declaration. They are now really desperate that people never discover that lockdowns were absolutely unnecessary.
    3
  8971. Stop them illegally landing in countries they have no right to enter, and stop all the rescues. Then the boats will stop: and the deaths!
    3
  8972. They are working on it!
    3
  8973. Ha, ha, ha. Dumb little chickens hits the nail squarely on the head. What kind of cretin puts their life on the line when the fight's sole purpose is to bolster the ego of a deranged psychopath, and has nothing to do with defending ones country. I wonder if those volunteering even stop to wonder why a "special operation", which was only meant to take a few days, needs them to volunteer.
    3
  8974. There have been Buy British campaigns for over 50 years, to no avail. In the last 40 years in Enfield I have seen the cost of not supporting British industry. I live in North Enfield. 40 years ago there were lots of factories on the other side of the A10. Going a little bit further there must have been hundreds more stretching from Brimsdown to Edmonton. Every single one of them is now gone, along with the thousands of jobs they provided!
    3
  8975. People need to think for themselves, if that's still possible in the UK. The number of Indian variant cases is just down to PURE CHANCE: it, rather than some other variant gets into an area first and then spreads. It's like a rabbit or a goose getting onto your lawn, both will eat the grass, it's just a matter of which gets there first. Yet again, people need reminding that THERE IS NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that ANY variant is significantly more infectious, more deadly, or able to circumvent immunity. Saying otherwise is nothing more than dishonest scaremongering. The Indian government is making a fuss over it as they desperately need a scapegoat to deflect anger against themselves.
    3
  8976. Absolutely correct. A few years ago any teacher who forced kids to wear masks would have been branded a pervert and struck off.
    3
  8977. Meanwhile army HGV drivers are sitting on their hands because, like petulant children, those in Downing Street are desperate to prove they are right.
    3
  8978. Your average voter is a complete Turkey, who will always vote for Christmas or Thanksgiving: in other words Labour or Conservative.
    3
  8979. Poland is a much poorer country than the UK and yet it has opened its arms to Ukrainians. This puts the UK to SHAME. But then, as a nation the Poles have always shown bravery and a big heart.

  8980. If court jesters came back into fashion then Charles would have to look no further than the cabinet of his government!
    3
  8981.  @ahmedalsharman  Well, it's going to need a lot of space to bury all its Orcs.
    3
  8982. Throwing in his lot with Trump is going to cost Farage's Reform UK an awful lot of votes. Supporting Ukraine may cost us dear, but like supporting Poland in 1939 it's the right thing to do!
    3
  8983. And this won't happen while Putin is in power.
    3
  8984. There would be much less of a problem if we hadn't normalised being obese and stripped it of the shame that many deserve for their total lack of control. We need to strongly push the message that not only is being fat really unhealthy, it's also hideously ugly. I would love to pig out on crisps and chocolates but most of the time I leave these product on the supermarket shelves. Others should do the same!
    3
  8985.  @graymalkin26  Then it's good that Ukraine has also been set some MiGs.
    3
  8986. The kids need to be removed from these crazy demented women. I'd also make them remove all that headwear, and any one who put it back on would have more and more of her flesh publicly exposed for each infringement.
    3
  8987. Agreed. Sweden got it so right.
    3
  8988. No surprise in this. There is an old saying: "justice must be seen to be done".
    3
  8989. What kind of psychopathic maniac simulates strikes on a country that has shown no hostile intent towards his country? Oh, I remember: Hitler, Putin, Emperor Xi.
    3
  8990. There are quite a few regions that want out of Putin's evil Russian Federation. With Moscow much weakened by the last 2 years, and still getting weaker, it's a really good time to secede. Putin knows and greatly fears this happening.
    3
  8991. Only the most scientifically and mathematically illiterate believe this nonsense. It's at least an 8 year round trip to the closest neighbouring star, which is unlikely to support advanced life. What's going to perform the accelerations and decelerations to and from close to light speed? What's going to protect from collision with so much as a tiny speck of dust, which could do a lot of damage at near light speeds? Warp drive and deflector shields only exist in Star Trek movies.
    3
  8992. Making kids wear masks all day, and shove a swab down their throat and up their nose five times a week (3 times at school, 2 times at home) is CHILD ABUSE. When is this pathetic panicking going to stop? We now have over 22 million of the most vulnerable vaccinated, so a rise in infections doesn't matter, as hardly any will result in hospitalisations. In fact nearly all new infections will be shrugged off more easily than a bad cold. Schools (and universities) should never have been closed in the first place. But now that schools are back kids should be allowed a normal life, without being molested because some pathetic individuals are afraid of catching covid-19 from their own shadow. Parents should have the courage and decency to refuse permission for this ABUSE.
    3
  8993. Pretty damn sure you're a Putin fanboy.
    3
  8994. There is no god.
    3
  8995. Despite being only 5' 3" I can remember pulling two boys apart and getting between them to stop a fight. Of course, this was in New Zealand, where it's still a big deal if a kid swears at a teacher, or at least it was when I lived there. Unfortunately most parents have their heads in the sand and don't want to hear what a crap job teaching in most UK state schools is. And if a job is crap then, apart from the very rare crusader, you know what kind of people it's going to attract.
    3
  8996. Those of us who know what Hamas is would be amazed if this hadn't happened!
    3
  8997. In Lazy Bones Britain far too many people already take days off because they simply can't be bothered to get out of bed. Paying them for such irresponsibility and dishonesty is a recipe for disaster. The first 3 days not working should never be paid under any circumstances. Sick pay should only commence after this, WITHOUT those first three days ever being paid. And a doctor's certificate should then be demanded. Also, doctors who are too willing to sign people off should face serious sanctions.
    3
  8998. What people aren't being told is that the cost of giving every single pensioner the winter fuel allowance is only one third of what is spent keeping illegal migrants in plush hotels!

  9002. And they call Zelenesky a comedian.

  9003. While many of us are very far from being Boris fanboys, we are even less keen on Scumbag Starmer.
    3
  9004. If Kier Starmer hadn't staunchly supported the government's insane and totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions they could never have implemented them, and our economy would be in a vastly better state. But Starmer prioritised making the government unpopular above the welfare of this country: particularly the poorest that Labour is supposed to care about.
    3
  9005. Would that be the depot with "ammo stored here" painted on the roof?🤣🤣🤣
    3
  9006. A prerequisite for being in Sunak's cabinet.
    3
  9007. In 1937 we acquiesced to Hitler's Anschluss and seizure of the Sudetenland. Hopefully we have learnt that allowing a deranged psychopath, like Hitler or Putin, to invade other countries only wets their appetite for yet more expansion.

  9008. In the UK it's just as bad. You would think they are SS officers rather than police officers.

  9011. Great work. Conservative estimates are that Russia's army has already been reduced by 30%. With Ukraine now receiving modern and longer range weapons it's not unrealistic to hope that by Christmas Russia will have less than 40% of its army left.
    3
  9012. Why is Boris letting a MINORITY try to change what the MAJORITY are happy with? The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol. Those trying to overturn it are just a bunch of bigoted protestants who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic. As for them being "Unionists", most of the rest of the UK DON'T want bigots like them as part of the UK!

  9018. And, as you have probably discovered, it only takes one or two bar-stewards to destroy the lesson for the whole class. I speak from experience when I say that getting rid of these BAD students can totally change the atmosphere and learning outcome for a class. Unfortunately most schools are unwilling to expel kids. They care vastly more about the "rights" of the few bad kids than the rights of the majority who deserve a chance to learn.

  9023. I'll believe it when I see one flying a long distance, and struting it's stuff, without what appears to be a power cable attached. Call me a cynic, but about 35 years ago I seem to recall an exhibition by a then well known british defence contractor showing miniture helicopters attached to a rotating framework. Of course, the company was totally incapable of delivering anything like that which was free flying.

  9028. Of course Russia will proceed with annexation. This was decided BEFORE the so-called referendum. Men of fighting age are fleeing Russia in their droves, and those in regions like the Donbas are already perfectly positioned. So we can expect a very rapid annexation followed by the almost immediate issue of call-up papers.

  9029. Unless TTK's own MPs turn on him, sacrificing their cushy jobs, we will have this Labour government for another 4½ years, no matter how many people sign the petition.

  9033. The are plenty of bad employers, BUT there is also no shortage of really bad employees who are incompetent and skive at every possible opportunity. If employers can't weed these out early, with a probationary period, then their business might go under, putting all the decent employees out of a job. If I was employing under these new rules I would only take on those with a very solid CV, which I would carefully check out first.

  9041. At least Boris is true to form. The Tories have always put their rich mates first. But what about Starmer? With his steadfast support of all the government's covid-19 policies he most certainly hasn't put the poor, whom Labour is meant to defend, first.
    3
  9042. There are now lot's of legitimate targets, on the Russian side of the border, within range of Ukrainian forces: fuel depots, supply depots, and supply infrastructure. As we all know it's far better to prevent the enemy entering your country than to fight it on your own soil. So it's time Russia's chickens came home to roost!

  9058. There's absolutely no question that all schools and universities could open immediately after half term, going back to the normal we had before all this Chicken Little panic began. As we've been seeing from graphs the numbers in hospital have been falling sharply. But this lags behind the hospitalisation RATE, which we (deliberately?) are not shown. If we did see this I think we would see a precipitous fall. And, with over 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, we will not see this rise again. The number of infections no longer matters, as almost all will now shrug them off with less effort than involved with a bad cold. Not opening schools and universities immediately shows incredible cowardliness and a complete disregard for the welfare of young people.

  9059. It's funny that both free bus travel and Leeds have been mentioned. Because my sister will be driving all the way there shortly. That's lots of greenhouse gas. If she was a year older, and living in Ireland, she would have been able to take the train all over the country for free. Why is it that for decades Ireland, which is poorer than the UK, has been able to give it's OAPs free travel throughout the country (and free TV)?

Even the LGBT brigade have the right to be the butt (pun intended) of jokes. In fact one of the reasons being a Lesbian was never a criminal offence is exactly because it was regarded as a joke.

    3
  9073. Like FGM. the government, courts and police turn a blind eye!
    3
  9074. A "common sense" decision is that if someone is fully vaccinated, or recovered from covid-19, with excellent natural immunity, then they don't need to care in the least how many infections there are in the country that they want to visit. Oh, same thing goes for young people too.

  9075. The insane ramblings of a deranged psychopath who is destroying his country.

  9082. You know this country is really sick when someone can murder three little girls and not get locked away for good!
    3
  9083. This has been going on for well over 20 years, but BOTH Labour and the Tories prioritised not losing the votes of certain groups over protecting young girls. Of course, you have to wonder what kind of groups want to protect those responsible for such vile and heinous crimes.
    3
  9084. After seeing these atrocities only the most evil and sick people could support Putin. This is why so many of us refer to Russian soldiers as Orcs. Their behaviour perfectly parallels Tolkien's vile monsters.
    3
  9085. Just made a similar comment.
    3
  9086. That's really good news. This should save the lives of many brave Ukrainian soldiers, while at the same time eradicating a lot more Orcs.
    3
  9087. That's what the said about Hitler.
    3
  9088. The "reality" is that a hell of a lot of work and money has already gone into getting HS2 all the way into Euston, so this needs to be done, rather than pissing all that up against the wall. And as ITV news demonstrated a few days ago having to change at Gospel Oak makes using HS2 less desirable than what we already have!

  9090. If those at the Bank of England had manned up earlier with 0.5% rate rises, instead of pathetic piddling 0.25% ones then maybe the message would have got through and this one wouldn't have been needed. What the bank has done until now is like giving a patient half the dose of the medicine, because he didn't like the taste, and then wondered why it didn't work.
    3
  9091. Call me a cynical old bastard, but I'm guessing this would be the dream of BOTH the Conservative and the Labour parties. Imagine not having to spend a large percentage of the national budget on the NHS, or take responsibility for people dying or not getting treatment. And most MPs of both parties probably use private health provision already, so it wont' affect them.
    3
  9092. I suspect that quite a few MPs aspire to be more like Putin: especially those who want Boris's job.

  9094. How can the vast majority of people in this country all be wrong, and just a few judges right? There are so many cases in which very real physical harm has been done to others and the culprit has received a much shorter sentence or escaped jail altogether. Almost every decent person regards this as far more serious than a few hurty words tweeted in the heat of the moment. The term "British Justice is an oxymoron!

  9097. ​ @ShyTalks-d8b  Not a mind reader, but I have lived in Ireland. When I was in An Óige, which I used to go walking with very regularly, I remember a tale a retired member who used to work for the railways told me. He could recall a TD coming down to the station several times to demand that various people be given jobs. You will have no difficulty finding a vast number of tales like this!
    3
  9098. So true. Stupid and vexatious cases provide a comfortable living for a lot of lawyers. I gather that even when a lawyer has the integrity to advise a client not to proceed, rather than milking the case, many don't listen to the advice.

  9101. So despite no scientific evidence the vendetta against the unvaccinated continues. The facts that Omicron is the dominant variant, and that these vaccines aren't very effective against it is being ignored. The TRUTH is that people who have had covid-19 now have vastly better natural immunity, and are a FAR SAFER bet than the triple jabbed sheep.
    3
  9102. Well, if they started using those cluster munitions against those well prepared defenses then things might go a bit faster. Also, during the counteroffensive last year I warned time and time again that if there was a pause over winter then the Orcs would use it to dig in. This is exactly what has happened.

  9105. A good definition of insanity is repeatedly doing something that really hurts you, but does absolutely no good. We have now witnessed thousands of lockdowns throughout the world. Many have been highly repressive, and repeated multiple times. But they all share one common denominator: THEY DON'T WORK! At best all they do is kick the covid-19 can down the street a bit. What they do very well is inflict an insane amount of damage and suffering. So is it any wonder that people are protesting about repetitions of these totally failed measures? Dumb-ass governments need to learn from Sweden. It doesn't even make the top 50 countries, rated by deaths per million, and it has a really low infection rate. Yet it has never had a lockdown, and doesn't have any vaccine mandates.
    3
  9106. No, you moron. We merely have a stewardship of the land, and a duty to protect it, and the planet.
    3
  9107. We should put boots on the ground.

  9108.  @ks-hg5vo  Another good question is how these 1 in 5 recovered without making antibodies. The simple answer to both these and similar questions is that government and their lapdog scientists are LYING!
    3
  9109. Our young people's education and mental health has been buggered to hell. And all for a virus that posed a NEGLIGIBLE risk to them, and an equally small one to any healthy person under about 70. Even quite a few animals will put themselves in REAL danger in order to protect their young! Most people in Britain are cowardly and selfish. However such people will never admit this to themselves. They always make up some excuse, that they themselves believe, to justify their vile behaviour. The most disgusting part of it is how teachers, who want us to believe that they care about their students, were among those most eager to shut schools, and put face nappies on kids.
    3
  9110. Let me get this right. Mad dog Putin thinks he can dictate what one sovereign nation chooses to give to another sovereign nation. Ukraine is an independent nation. Under international law it's totally legitimate for it to receive these weapons. AND it's also legitimate for Ukraine to invite NATO in to expel foreign aggressors from its territory. Of course, as Putin has proven beyond all reasonable doubt, he doesn't respect international law.
    3
  9111. This is highly misleading. Junior doctors are not GPs, and unlike them they are worked to the bone for derisory compensation.

  9114. Yep, on the timescale used to test these vaccines Thalidomide would have passed with flying colours.

  9115. Yes, and the tragedy is that Trump is throwing Putin a lifeline. If Trump was around in 1945 he would be mounting a mission to rescue Adolf from his Berlin bunker.

  9116. Reopen the Nightingales and dump all the bloody covid-19 cases there, where they can get better or die without making such a bloody nuisance of themselves. For heaven's sake. Over 99% of us are having our lives held to ransom by well under 1%, most of whom would die soon anyway, and for many of whom death would be a mercy.

  9120. For those who aren't physicists let me explain one thing. You cannot use highly enriched uranium in nuclear reactors. It is also incredibly expensive to produce. So what do people think Iran is producing it for, to line flowerbeds?

  9121. The great Russian army. Living like pigs, and torturing and murdering civilians. Russia must be so proud of them and Putin.

  9124. Don't blame this on immigration. Blame it on lower standards and grade inflation, which has been going on for at least 40 years. When I took my French O-level we had to master TEN French tenses. Is this the case today? When I was studying A-level physics there was calculus in it, because this is often the best way to explain and understand certain topics. Today's attempts to explain certain things without calculus are truly awful. Others could no doubt add a lot more. To get good at something you have to be challenged and work hard. We no longer expect this of our kids.

  9132. The fact that the vast majority of people are alive and well owes absolutely nothing to lockdowns or vaccinations. For over 99% of the population covid-19 is no big deal. This pathetic panicking has been going on for nearly two years. When are we going to stop pandering to the cowards?

    3
  9143. Isn't it strange that people expect a prime minister to tell the truth, keep his promises, and not cheat, by breaking the very rules that he himself made and expected others to follow? What a peculiar thing to demand of someone running the country.
    3
  9144. There hasn't been a PM since Margaret Thatcher that could hold a candle to her, and Starmer couldn't bear to be constantly reminded of this.
    3
  9145. He should indeed be sacked, but schools are really desperate to get teachers: especially those that are woke and ultra PC.
    3
  9146. Accepting that covid-19 is here to stay, and that the snowflakes need to put up and shut up would get rid of the need for ALL restrictions, now and forever. Those who are uncomfortable living with covid-19 can go and hide under a stone for the rest of their lives.

  9149. Things like this WILL happen again, and not just in air traffic control, for a very simple reason. When it comes to developing I.T. systems the government prioritises the cheapest development. The trouble is when "YOU PAY PEANUTS, YOU GET MONKEYS"! The best software engineers really are about 10 times as productive as your typical code monkey. They might appear to cost more, but they will produce a far better, much more reliable system, in less time. So you actually SAVE a lot of money. But as most of those in government have Noddy humanities degrees they are too stupid to grasp this very simple fact.

  9153. During the panicdemic there were countries that didn't have lockdowns OR access to vaccines. Yet none of them have seen their populations seriously affected. And those which didn't have access to the vaccines are not now experiencing any excess deaths. Which demonstrates very clearly the the WHO didn't know what the hell it was doing. Giving the WHO power is like handing a toddler a box of strike anywhere matches and a can of petrol!
    3
  9154. That will make Britain's poor OAPs so happy. This creep CHEATED them out of their "triple lock" pension rise, so they will now get a rise substantially less than inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING from them, the food and energy price rises would crucify many pensioners. I don't think most Brits appreciate that although the UK is one of the world's richest countries, it has one of the world's meanest state pensions.
    3
  9155. If it was the IRA running the war in Ukraine, for the last two years, with the amount of resources that Ukraine has, does anyone seriously think that Moscow and St. Petersburg would still be virtually unscathed? Does anyone really believe that almost all of Russia's oil pipelines, refineries, railway lines, and bridges would still be intact?

  9157. Anthony Loyd is completely wrong. Sure, Prigozhin doesn't give a toss about Ukraine. But that means that if he takes out Putin he isn't going to weaken his position by continuing it. Putin very much owns the war in Ukraine, Prigozhin is totally ambivalent about it.

  9166. Brexit totally changed things for Scotland, so on that basis I think they have a right to another referendum, and a chance to rejoin the EU. In Nicola Sturgeon's position I would just organise another referendum, regardless of what Boris wants. Short of sending in the army, there's nothing he can do to stop it, and if the majority vote for an independent Scotland standing in the way of this would probably be politically untenable.

  9168. Just the description of the torture is so horrifying that even in these laisez-faire days one might not be allowed make a horror movie depicting such things. As the oldest Ukrainians have said, the current Russian occupation is far worse than that of the Nazis in WW II. Perhaps now the apologists for Putin will understand why Ukrainians fight so hard, and why Putin must never be allowed to win at any cost.

  9188. "active steps come to and end" Zelensky clearly hasn't learnt a thing from last year's disastrous winter pause. That gave the Russians the opportunity to put in all those defenses that slowed this year's offensive to a snail's pace. Unless the Ukrainian offensive continues throughout the winter EXACTLY the same thing is going to happen again! Sure fighting in winter will be bloody tough for Ukrainian soldiers, but it will be even tougher for new Orcs, UNLESS a pause lets them settle in comfortably.

  9189. If things in the Ukraine continue to go very badly for Putin, and NATO doesn't respond to his goading atrocities, then there's now a reasonable chance that Putin won't be in charge in three weeks time.

As well as motorists burning fossil fuels (indirectly with electric cars) an incredible amount of energy is expended manufacturing cars. Of course, because of most people's infatuation with the automobile, and the economic significance of car manufacturing, this is almost a taboo topic.

If Russia can fly aircraft in Ukrainian airspace against the will of Ukraine, then it's certainly completely acceptable that NATO flies aircraft there at Ukraine's invitation. Never mind giving sophisticated jets to Ukraine, there are plenty of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just itching to be sent on a mission to clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.

  9222. Labour has an absolute majority of seats: almost twice as many as its proportion of the vote. So why would Labour change a system that has worked massively in its favour? Even if all the other parties work together they haven't enough seats to oppose any legislation that Labour proposes, or push through any that they might want. That's the hard truth.

  9228. None of us with any sense expected Putin to honour his agreement, but few expected him to break it before the ink was even dry on the paper. This should demonstrate to even the most mentally feeble the utter futility of negotiating any sort of peace deal with this deranged psychopath. The ONLY possibility for peace is Putin's "removal".

  9229. Can the Conservatives really afford to lose millions of OAP votes, in the next general election, by making the PENSION THIEF the next PM? In line with the triple lock and inflation, OAPs should have got a pension rise of around 10%, but Rick Boy Sunak STOLE this from them. Instead they got just 3.1%, which is a lower rise than virtually everyone else in the country! Would you vote for someone that did this to you?

  9231. It's been a very long time since schools put kids interests first. Let's take two examples: One of the most widely spoken languages is Spanish. Yet most schools insist on teaching French and German. This has nothing to do with what's best for the kids, and everything to do with keeping teachers with the wrong skills in schools. Let's now look at further maths A-level. There are four options: statistics, mechanics, decision maths and pure maths. BUT, its very rarely the kids, who have to sit the exam, that get to choose. Once again the teacher almost always chooses what suits him/her most. Others will have many similar examples.

And for what? In terms of infections we are as badly, if not worse, off than we were two years ago. The only difference is that we now also have to bear the insane amount of damage done by the government. When are people going to learn that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK? When are people going to look at all those happy Swedes, and realise that they got it right. Now for a variant that is EXTREMELY MILD, and (contrary to Boris's LIES) hasn't killed a single person in the entire world, Downing Street want's to repeat what has failed time and time again. But the most laughable part of all is that if left to itself there is a very real possibility that Omicron might quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  9242. If, instead of piddling around with lots of pathetic 0.25% rate rises, the Bank of England had manned up and made a few rises of AT LEAST 0.5% then perhaps the message would have already got through, and the final rate would be lower. What's been done is like giving the patient only a quarter of the dose of his medicine, because he doesn't like the taste, and then wondering why it didn't work.

  9245. The simple fact is that sars-cov-2 has only ever posed a serious threat to well under 1% of the population. So NONE of the lockdowns and restrictions were justified. As the REAL experts, like Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, advised just the most vulnerable should have isolated. But the government rolled out Witless Whitty, and people were stupid enough to listen to him.

  9246. I'm very much for reducing emissions. However most government schemes are completely hare-brained. It would be nice if we could even say that these emissions had simply been moved elsewhere, but the truth is that most of the time their schemes INCREASE overall emissions!

  9247. This is definitely not what Putin expected. I'm sure it's bringing back painful memories of the Soviet Union's experience in Afghanistan. It's very hard to hold a country when almost all its citizens are itching to shoot an occupying soldier.

  9248. Well, just look at what's happened to the animal that broke a policewoman's nose at Manchester: nothing, it would appear. He should now be in jail, but to the best of my knowledge he hasn't even been charged!

If this money had actually been spent on Gazans then almost all of them would now have an enviable lifestyle. Of course, in that case, there would have been no support for Hamas. As others have pointed out this £21 million, and the £84 million going to Africa is OUR money, and could do an awful lot of good if wisely spent in the UK.

  9257. A nice job, but less than half done, so what about putting some of those Storm Shadows to good use to finish it off? Also, how hard would it be for a team of navy seals to attach some high explosives to one of the bridge's support? Let's properly finish off Putin's beloved Kerch bridge and enjoy watching him cry.
    3
  9258. For many who leave it's not about the money. They have to take crap from students they can't properly sanction, and they are mercilessly bullied by management. Also, to pour petrol on the fire, most schools won't employ older more experienced teachers, who cost more, and are much harder to bully. If you are a parent take a good look at how many older teachers there are in your kid's school. Also, schools discourage applications by insisting that applicants spend half a day filling in their own "special" application form, rather than accepting a CV and covering letter: the gold standard for real professionals.

  9260. When it came to countries like Germany Putin's calculation wasn't that far off. Lot's of bluster and promises that weren't honoured. Unfortunately he misjudged the spirit of the Ukrainian people and how steadfastly the USA, Britain and Poland would stand by them. This is why very little, if any, of Putin's raging is directed against France and Germany.

  9263. Never mind just the scammers, the way most charities are now run is very off putting. As a child, 50 years ago there were far fewer of them, and almost all of those who worked for them did it pro-bono. These days charities seem as numerous as a mushroom flush after a month of rain, and most of those associated with them are on the take. It seems that if you don't want to earn an honest living an excellent alternative is to found a charity. The CEO's of most charities earn more than the majority of decent hard working people. Also, these days, those door to door collectors, and those hassling you in the shopping malls are being paid to do so. The days of little old ladies soliciting donations are long gone. Charities are now big businesses whose main raison d'être are milking as much money out of the punters as possible.

He has tanked the Russian economy, and destroyed an easy and lucrative market for Russian gas that could have lasted decades. 2. He has killed far more Russians in the last 13 months than have died in very single Russian conflict, put together, since the end of WW II. 3. He has more than doubled the length of Russia's border with NATO. Clearly, Russia has a president of exceptional intelligence and vision.

  9275. Independent my arse! Many of his fellow doctors are pleading for June 21 to go ahead. They are getting desperately worried about the missed checkups and procedures caused by continuing restrictions, and are in no doubt that they will cost a lot of lives. These doctors really are independent. And let's get a little perspective. Even though infections are rising, there has NOT been a significant rise in deaths or hospitalisations. Even the SAGE doom-mongers are predicting, at worst, 40 deaths a day, if June 21 goes ahead. BUT, on average, 69 people die or are seriously injured, on our roads everyday. I don't hear many squealing to have private motoring cancelled, even though it would save more lives.

  9282. One good thing is that from a long term safety point of view this is a technique that has been in use for decades, so one can have more confidence that it won't throw up any nasty surprises. However, the fact remains that for most people covid-19 poses a really tiny risk, and a good percentage of people now have natural immunity. So the only people that really need this vaccine are the 1 in 1000 or so who are at serious risk. I wont' be taking a vaccine, and every parent I've spoken to has been adamant that they won't get their kids vaccinated, and why on earth should they when the covid-19 risk to their kids is negligible? The government's media lapdogs in the BBC tell us that about 75% of people say they will take the vaccine. I'm sure this is a lie, and will be surprised if the uptake is much more than one third.

  9283. If the US didn't take the opportunity to do this when Putin flew to Iran then it seems very unlikely they will do it now. They haven't even taken out Rocket Man in North Korea, who is a much easier target, and would have sent a very strong message to Putin.

Could it possibly be because people are sick of seeing the heavy handed manner in which peaceful protests have been dealt with, so they are now coming to protests prepared for violence? Could it be that people have finally decided that their freedom and liberty has been ground into the dust for long enough? Even the courts have stated that protest is a fundamental human right. This is something that should be sacrosanct in any democratic country. But Boris and his cabinet have become Nazi dictators, leaving people no choice but to fight to get their freedom back.

  9287. Sabotaging their own pipeline makes absolutely no sense. Russia is renowned for lying, so it's much easier for them to simply claim they can't supply gas due to technical difficulties. Nobody will believe the lies, but Russia is very used to nobody believing their lies and doesn't seem to care.

  9293. They also kept really quiet on how good natural immunity was, the extremely low risk from Covid for most people, and the 2017 reports of serious problems caused by injecting mRNA. And let's not forget that some truly massive anti lockdown protests weren't reported, in order to give the impression that the government's madness had overwhelming support.

  9297.  @joebloggs3551  That's because you are a short-sighted idiot! It IS the job of the state to provide a pension that people can live on. And yes, that means they have to take a certain amount of tax to provide that pension, AND they mustn't embezzle that tax, or if they do then the ministers responsible need to go to jail for a very long time. Private pensions should only ever be a top up. I've seen good, hard working people screwed when the money they had invested with private companies was wiped out because the company went bankrupt: sometimes due to bent CEOs.

  9299. For such an important role, those who hired them without properly checking their qualifications should also be investigated! If memory serves me right it's not too long ago that the NHS was found to have employed false doctors, because proper checks weren't made, and yet this kind of negligence continues.

  9302. I trust that if this happens then the Ukrainians will reengineer their drone payloads to deliver the same to whatever RUSSIAN cities they can reach. Better still, a Ukrainian who can pass as Russian should set off such a weapon in a crowded Moscow subway. On no account must Putin be allowed to use such weapons without payback!

  9304. In the entire world, out of many millions of people who have recovered from covid-19, there have been literally only a handful of confirmed reinfections, and most of these were in immunocompromised people. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that those who recover from covid-19, including asymptomatic cases, now have natural long term immunity. This is probably about 25% of the UK population. Why should such people get themselves vaccinated? It's like going out with a watering can in the middle of a downpour that's accompanied by lots of fork lightening. Also, for young people this virus poses smaller risk than seasonal flu, for which we don't offer them a vaccine. So it's illogical to vaccinate this group. Actually, it's highly unethical, because it goes against medical ethics to subject someone to a treatment that is solely for the benefit of someone else.

  9312. Correct. Russia has committed so many war crimes for one reason only. Because instead of encouraging Ukraine to exact payback (with interest) NATO has allowed Russia to commit its atrocities with complete impunity.

  9313. A government that appears to actually want to help poor people not get ripped off. Well done! It's just a shame that these poor very hardworking people may get ripped off for another 10 years. Isn't it a pity that none of our so-called charities can't lend a hand in helping these people get a fair price for their incredibly dangerous labour.
    3
  9314. There must now be 10's of 1000's of charities in the UK. The truth is that most of them serve those at the top running them far more than anyone or anything else. These people usually "earn" substantially more than most of us who do a real job.

  9325. What Putin is doing reminds me of historical accounts of barbarism from several thousand years ago. Atrocities, like ripping out tongues and cutting off limbs, against all the inhabitants of a captured city, were deliberately carried out to instill fear, and the immediate surrender of subsequent targets.

    3
  9328. Covid-19 is in no way responsible for this. It's all down to the insanely damaging and totally ineffective lockdowns. This is just one of so many dangers that the REAL experts warned against. Their advice, later published in the Great Barrington Declaration, was to just isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. This advice was spot on, but Boris ignored it!
    3
  9329. Kasparov probably has it right. Without a victory Putin will probably not only lose power but his life too: and as a psychopath that's the only life he cares about. He's right that NATO and the rest of the free world need to clearly state, and support, the goal that Ukraine will not fall to Russia. I personally would like to see the bounty on Putin's head vastly increased, along with the offer of a new identity and very nice place to live for whoever takes him out.

  9340. Very often it's not a matter of training, but rather skimping on employing those who already have the right skills. A few days ago I was horrified to hear that many GPs are unemployed, despite people often having to wait 3 weeks to see one. I myself am a fully qualified teacher who got his PGCE at Leeds University. Yet for the last ten years I have privately tutored A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. These are all shortage subjects, but most schools refuse to pay for older, more experienced, teachers because they cost more. Others could add many more examples to this.

  9343. Putin is relying on cowards worried about upsetting him. Escalation would be invading Russia. Except in the mind of a madman, helping a sovereign nation defend itself, is not escalation: and one NEVER humors madmen. For purely technical reasons I wouldn't send jets to Ukraine. But what I would do is let our fighter pilots do what they are trained to do in Ukraine. There are so many American, British and Polish pilots just straining at the leash to clear Ukraine of its Orc infestation: and this is totally in keeping with international law.

  9346. This is absolutely true, but for some reason Brits don't seem to care.

  9347. "some factor" Hmm, let me see. We have an inflammatory disease typical of an immune reaction. Now what could cause that immune reaction? Could it possibly be due to mRNA having been absorbed into heart muscle?

  9350. After Russia's outrageous destruction of that dam it's incredibly important that, if at all possible, Ukraine does exactly the same to a Russian dam of similar size and importance. The ONLY thing Russia will understand is that what it does to Ukraine will be quickly done to it. Without suitably punitive retaliation there will definitely be further Russian outrages like this one.

I too was born in the UK, but I'll happily, and proudly, tell people that my father was Polish and my mother Irish. Fulani is a pathetic woman looking for offence where none was intended. If anything I would say that she was very ill-mannered towards Lady Hussey, who should be immediately reinstated.

  9353. Governments are really desperate for a vaccine, not to save lives, but to save their skins. The simple fact is that all the panicked headless chicken lockdowns, and other measures, are simply not sustainable. Without a vaccine governments will eventually be forced to lift all measures. When this happens people will notice that the sky isn't falling on them and start asking why the measures were every introduced in the first place, and why they weren't lifted far sooner. The only government that won't have difficult questions to answer is Sweden's.

  9361. There's a simple repost to the concern of leaving it up to the likes of pubs as to whether they ask for proof of vaccination or immunity. You simply make it illegal to ask for such things, in the same way that it's illegal to ask if a prospective job applicant or tenant is black or Irish. I suspect that vaccine passports will eventually morph into a biometric identity card for everyone, that you are obliged to carry. When your friendly Gestapo policeman ask you for it he will be instantly able to learn more about you then your close friends know.

  9366. Pensioners, who worked hard all their lives, only get about half this!
    3
  9367. The triple lock is already broken! Rich Boy Sunak only raised pensions by 3.1%, which is abut ONE THIRD of what they should have risen by. I don't see any sign of Liz Truss U-turning on this. Maybe she has decided that those hurt the most would probably vote Labour so it's best to let either the cold or malnutrition kill them off.

  9368. True, but "pretty please" isn't going to do it.

  9370. It's way past time that Moscow experienced similar blackouts and water shortages. There's no surer way of preventing an atrocity than the perpetrator being certain that he will receive the same medicine.
    3
  9371. The simple fact is that if a Russia city was attacked every time Russia committed an atrocity like this then there would have been far few or these barbarous acts. But Russia has been allowed to commit war crimes on an industrial scale with total impunity.
    3
  9372. Like the immune system realising that it has been infected by a disease.
    3
  9373. In the last 7 weeks or so I think it's become very clear that Putin is a psychopath who has no intention of negotiating a peace, and that he will do whatever he can get away with. On this basis we should arm Ukraine to the teeth while making it very clear that an attack on any NATO city will be responded to by attacks on Moscow and other Russian cities. I doubt Putin cares about how many Russians dies, but some who can get close to him probably do have family they love, and will "remove" him from power.

  9375. Most schools don't need £500 million to do this, just some common sense! Last winter, on freezing cold days, I can remember walking past Enfield Grammar and Enfield County schools and seeing lots of windows wide open! I'm sure many others will have similar tales. Here's another way to save a bloody fortune, by cutting out the middle man. When I lived in New Zealand schools maintained a list of people who had expressed an interest in providing supply for absent teachers. Everyday someone at the school got up bright and early and phoned round those who were prepared to provide cover: tailoring that cover, if possible, to the absent teachers' subjects. By total contrast, in the UK schools go through agencies, and pay twice as much (no exaggeration) for their supply teachers. Here's a third example, again from New Zealand. In New Zealand the government supplies a free website for schools to advertise their vacancies. In the UK schools spend a small fortune on private advertising. Before throwing away the taxpayers' money we should look at the truly massive savings that can so easily be made!

  9380. Right at the start of this pandemic the REAL experts, who later drafted the same advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, warned that lockdowns would be ineffective and ultimately cause many deaths. But the bed wetters won the day, and now people are paying for pandering to them with their lives! This virus only ever posed a threat to less than 1%, and those who had the virus, even asymptomatically, developed immunity that is vastly better than vaccination, and much longer lasting. Just isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed would have saved an awful lot of lives. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar, with something to hide.

  9389. In a democratic and SECULAR country I expect to be able to burn any book that I own, be it a Bible, Koran, or Grimm's Fairy Tales. Sweden is a wonderful country to live in, that really looks after it's people. Those who can't accept Swedish values should f**k off to another country! Those who try to undermine them should be deported! Maybe this is why the Polish have opened their hearts and their homes to Ukrainians, but were much more reticent about accepting refugees from certain other countries.

  9401. What never ceases to amaze me is just how gullible and easy most people are to manipulate. Imagine agreeing to lockdowns that buggered your kids' education and mental health to hell. Imagine agreeing to inject your kid, who was at exceedingly low risk, with a vaccine that hadn't been properly tested.
    3
  9402. From the start these small boats should have been towed back to the edge of French territorial waters, and only left enough fuel to get them back to France. Those who despite this still ended up in the UK should have been housed in Nissen huts on some remote Scottish island. Doing this would have saved shed loads of money, AND would have strongly discouraged what's now happening, and getting worse.

They also turn a blind eye to the great many indiscriminate attacks and atrocities perpetuated on Israeli civilians.

The hard fact is that Israel cannot afford to let down its guard or show the slightest weakness!

He CHEATED hundreds of thousands of really poor OAPs out of their "triple lock", so that they are now getting a pension rise way below inflation. This THEFT needs to be reversed.

  9427. Nurses have always been grossly underpaid for the very valuable and hard work that they do. It's way past time they got a decent pay rise. In my younger days I can well recall bimbo secretaries being paid more to spend a large part of their day filing their nails. How fair is that? I'd happily pay a bit more tax in order to see nurses properly remunerated. Must add however that I definitely don't want to see the parasitic admin staff get a pay rise.

  9430. The concept of generating herd immunity via vaccination is unachievable. However, as it's now more or less certain that natural immunity is superior, following the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration might well have allowed natural immunity to achieve this. But don't expect any politician or one of their lapdog "scientists" to ever admit this.

  9436. I have a little yellow book with 20 vaccine stamps. I voluntarily spent a couple of hours traveling in and out of London to a British Airways vaccination centre in Regent Street, and paid for all these vaccines. I will voluntarily do the same in the future. So I'm hardly anti-vaccine. But I wouldn't touch any of these sars-cov-2 vaccines with a barge pole. Does that make me anti-vax, or does it just mean I'm not a gullible sheep who is stupid enough to believe Downing Street and their lackeys. As I've almost certainly had covid-19, I now have excellent natural immunity, so why would I take a vaccine that hasn't undergone the years of testing NEEDED TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE ANY "UNFORESEEN" LONG TERM EFFECTS.
    3
  9437. Throughout this pandemic the BBC has gone the extra mile to demonstrate how totally untrustworthy it is. It has become Downing Street's propaganda machine, and one that Josef Goebbels would have been very proud of. 1. There have been massive anti-lockdown demonstrations in the UK and all over the world. The BBC never reported them, instead using the time to report the most frivolous of "news". 2. When interviewing people for their opinion of government restrictions they only ever featured people who strongly supported them. Unless my experience of talking to people was very unrepresentative, they appear to have passed over anyone who didn't express strong support for the government. 3. The massive, and highly respected, studies in Israel and Cleveland on natural immunity were ignored, even though these findings were incredibly important to most people. But, even worse, time was given to a small and heavily criticised (even by its own researchers) study from Kentucky, because it supported the government line on vaccination. I'm now more likely to believe in Santa Claus than anything I hear on the BBC news.

  9442. People who go to countries like Russia and Iran do so knowing full well that they are putting themselves in great danger. Therefore civilized governments should not enter into negotiations about them.

I suspect that in the first instance far too little attention was paid to the consequences of water being absorbed (and maybe freezing) into this concrete. Was any of it ever soaked (maybe under pressure) and then repeatedly frozen and heated? I also suspect that serious problems with this concrete emerged several decades ago, but were covered up!

  9452. The UK press is just as bad. They trip over themselves to present the doom and gloom that's helping to scare and panic people, but seem incredibly reluctant to give prominence to anything that plays down the minute risk that is posed to the vast majority. There hasn't been a single article affirming the very high likelihood of long term immunity. But then Downing Street really wouldn't appreciate our "free press" running such a story.

Like Rameses II he desperately wants to leave a lasting mark on the world, no matter what the cost to anyone else. Some needs to take him out before we all despair of his works.

But there is nothing logical or rational in believing in things for which there is absolutely no evidence.

  9493. If someone is seriously dissatisfied with their quality of life, and there is no prospect of improving it why should someone else be allowed decide that that quality of life is sufficient? Why should someone else's primitive superstitions be grounds for forcing another person to endure years of suffering and despair?

The simple fact remains that starting a nuclear is not viable for any nation. Nobody wins, and those who might survive would probably wish they had been standing at ground zero, where their brain would be vapourised before the pain signals reached it.

What about putting himself in the place of all those kids whose education he has wrecked, many of whom now have mental health issues? If he had felt the slightest quilt about any of this he would be coming out of lockdown NOW, with a bang, and not laying plans to push the goal posts of his snail's pace roadmap even further back.

Of course it's very likely that seeing Wagner wiped out is exactly what Putin wants, as payback for their mutiny. I'm guessing that if they entered Poland both Belarus and Russia would claim that they were acting purely of their own initiative.

  9510. Here's an idea. The North Sea gas and oil, and the wind in the turbines belongs to everybody in the UK, not to a few rich bastards. Essential infrastructure, energy and water should all be nationalised, without compensation, and then sold at cost to the consumer. Greedy directors and shareholders should not be allowed to profit massively from the basic needs of people.
    3
  9511. ​ @untenableposition  And you know why house prices are now so high? Because of unbridled lending by greedy reckless banks and building societies. If the old rules about only lending 3 to 4 times yearly income had been adhered to house prices would be much more affordable.

  9515. Across the world we DO NOT see much correlation between the percentage vaccinated or how strict measures are, and infection levels. So any honest person would simply say that we don't really know what causes the rise and fall in infections, though it most certainly has bugger all to do with government bungling. It's possibly due to the interplay between natural immunity and how people network. What we do know is that natural immunity is far and away our best defense against this virus. This, NOT any of the government's insanely damaging measures, or their poorly tested vaccines, is what will eventually keep infections down. But don't hold your breath waiting for Downing Street to admit this.

  9518. Thank you so much for making this. I'm not a doctor, but having read Scientific American, cover to cover, for about 40 years I already had a decent understanding of this. As such, for months now, I've been doing my best to fight the British government's propaganda that's been very successful in convincing most people that there isn't natural immunity. They have been saying this in order to control people through fear. From the start I've been saying that 100+ years of immunology very strongly suggested that people would have immunity, but most people seemed to prefer to believe the government's lies. I'm going to share this on Facebook, and ask people to pass it on, but unfortunately I fear that most will not watch it and still prefer to believe the government's lies. You must have put extraordinary effort into making this, so I feel guilty in asking whether you have considered producing a video that clarifies the risk to most people. You see, once again, our government has grossly exaggerated this risk. A few weeks ago I was speaking to a 50 year old bus driver who had been wearing a mask all day when it was 35°C. He had no known health problems and neither did his family. He was surprised when I explained how tiny the risk was to him, telling me that the government had really terrified him. People need to be told the truth by someone like a doctor, who they will hopefully believe. Anyway, many thanks for a brilliant video.

  9527. The ONLY reason NATO hasn't gone into Ukraine, to help them, is so that this war doesn't extend to other countries. As soon as Putin puts so much as a toe on NATO territory this reason disappears. NATO will go straight into Ukraine and sweep away Putin's Orcs. God knows there are an awful lot of NATO soldiers just itching to go on an Orc hunt.

  9530. A very recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that far from 150,000 dying, ONLY 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. In other words, for less than 9,000 deaths a year the economy has been wrecked, and young people's education and mental health buggered to hell. To put this into context, about 600,000 people die every year in the UK. This just goes to show how right the REAL experts were in advising JUST isolating the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed. It also clearly shows that most people should NOT be getting jabbed with these poorly tested, and relatively ineffective, vaccines.

A lot of those students have since matured a bit and seen the error of their ways, but Corbyn is still that immature anti-Semitic student.

  9566. Every Muslim who gets upset about pictures of Mohammad should not have ANY family photos or watch TV or films. Because the offence they are taking is down to the injunction in Deuteronomy 4:16-19: "Beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth."

  9567. What's plainly wrong in any society is to criminalize "disrespecting" superstitious fantasy of any sort.

  9568. Please, no sensible and rational arguments. You are going to upset the quivering snowflakes.
    2
  9569. Boris, you know where you can shove your rules. It's what you speak out of almost all the time. With over 31 million now vaccinated it's time to end all the dictatorial repression. The probability of deaths or hospitalisations rising again is now extremely small. So many young men didn't give their lives in two world wars in order for some balding blond comb over clown to become the new Hitler.
    2
  9570. With all the money spent on Grenfell, and keeping the ruin standing, every single victim could have been setup with a millionaire lifestyle. As with virtually every government inquiry only the lawyers, who are laughing all the way to the bank, are the winners.
    2
  9571. One can almost imagine Hitler giving a similar speech from his Berlin bunker.
    2
  9572. If people weren't so gullible and innumerate they would realise that less than 1 in 5 of those that the government claimed died from Covid actually did!
    2
  9573. New Zealand too. Other countries have realised what a totally unfair, inhumane, and evil tax this.
    2
  9574. This is the man who has been crucifying everybody else, and now he has been caught breaking his own rules, as he cheated on his wife and family. This isn't a matter of being given the opportunity to resign. He should be sacked immediately!
    2
  9575. Kemp is spot on. Israel simply cannot allow Rafah to become a safe haven for Hamas, where they can hold hostages and hide behind civilians. If Rafah becomes a no-go zone for the IDF then Hamas will use the city to regroup, rearm, and prepare further atrocities to inflict on Israelis. Anyone denying this very obvious fact is an anti-Semite Hamas supporter.

  9577. Ah, that wonderful smell of roasted Orc.

  9578. As a kid I really hated drag queen entertainment and I still do. There's something deeply unwholesome about it. The only acceptable drag queen event is big burly rugby players doing it on a charity pub crawl.
    2
  9579. I would like to know how many of these kids have had covid-19 vaccines. I'm not saying there is a link, but if this were the case it would be so explosive that the government would do all it possibly can to cover it up.

  9580.  @richvid9814  You keep believing that, if it makes you feel better.

  9581. In general I'm not a fan of Khan, but I applaud anything that gets cars off the road. I'm sick of selfish, lying motorists who say they can't use public transport. They whine endlessly about their rights, but never think about the rights of others not to breath poisoned air or not to have to listen to the noise their vehicles make.

  9582. Dudes and dudettes, chill! This virus still kills well under 1%, and those who recover have excellent natural immunity. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

  9583. Shares in Keir Starmer are like buying into a Ponzi scam.
    2
  9584. This is a perfect example of why scientists, engineers and mathematicians should be running the country, not idiots with Noddy humanitarian degrees, that any fool could pass. It's the limescale on the kettle's heating element that reduces its efficiency. This can be removed with a few pence worth of perfectly safe citric acid.
    2
  9585. What Putin doesn't realise is that unlike Syrian and Afghani men. Ukrainian men love their women and children and are prepared to die defending them. Also, many Ukrainian women are prepared to join their men on the front line. That's part of the reason so many of us are prepared to make sacrifices to support them.
    2
  9586. Been suggesting remote Scottish islands for months!
    2
  9587. I thought that the companies that produced the Sars-cov-2 vaccines had been promised immunity (pun intended) from prosecution if these vaccines caused any harm.
    2
  9588. With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what governments are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out! .
    2
  9589. Any fool could have predicted this kind of thing. You know what's incredibly reliable, and doesn't produce any greenhouse gases or pollution? NUCLEAR POWER!

  9590. DEPORT!!!

  9591. It's wonderful to hear the cheers of those brave Ukrainian fighters as they take out these vehicles, along with the pigs in them.

  9592. The PM is a dyed-in-the-wool coward! The only thing he has put off is answering awkward questions and facing the music.

  9593. Acting is a particular skill, but as has been shown time and time again, it doesn't correlate with high intelligence.

  9594. Our compulsory license fees pay these salaries. Therefore their details should be publicly available for all to see.

  9595.  @lilyrbtv4740  This lying snowflake troll has been telling the same lies in other posts.
    2
  9596. La réponse de Poutine au raid de Koursk montre très clairement qu'il n'a pas les ressources nécessaires pour s'en prendre à l'OTAN. Il n'y a rien à craindre, sauf la peur elle-même.
    2
  9597. BBB, the martial arts anecdote brings back memories for me. Out of necessity, due to shortage of opponents, one of by contestants, in Judo, for my yellow belt contest was much bigger than me. His throw made me fall very hard backwards and I hit my head on the mat. On the way home my instructor told me that people were surprised I got up.

  9598. If the current trend in cold weather continues then a great many pensioners would have been seriously tested even without having their fuel allowance stopped. But at least the illegal migrants will be kept nice and warm, and well fed.

  9599. Above all else, trump still dreams of a Nobel Peace Prize. He will do a deal with the devil, and sell anyone down the river if he thinks it will help him achieve this goal.

  9600. Truly pathetic!
    2
  9601. You got that right!
    2
  9602. @Wait What? Sadly, the bleeding heart liberals in the UK and the US have made our brave soldiers fight with one hand tied behind their back. If it weren't for this the Taliban would have been eradicated.
    2
  9603.  @mohamadrafet3777  Big difference. Unlike when the soviets were there, the majority now don't want to be (mis)ruled by rabid fundamentalist animals.
    2
  9604. Putin knows the Ukrainian offensive is coming very soon, and will give him a serious spanking: hence all the posturing.
    2
  9605. Nuclear power, unlike fracking, is very safe. The trouble is, as is their wont, our useless politicians keep talking about building more power stations instead of actually getting on and doing it. They remind me of my devout Catholic mother, who instead of ever addressing a problem thought that the solution was to pray about it.
    2
  9606. If Downing Street hadn't imposed their insane lockdowns Sarah would still be alive, without the slightest doubt. Breaking lockdown regulations was the pretext for her false arrest.
    2
  9607. Ann Widdecombe appears to take her cue from the wise monkeys: see no evil, hear no evil. Is the perception of the vast majority wrong, and she right? Like the CEOs of most charities, most politicians are only interested in serving their own interests.
    2
  9608. If the corrupt Irish government used one of Ireland's windswept Atlantic islands to detain these illegals on then there would be a stampede back into Northern Ireland. But self-serving Irish MPs don't give a toss about their own Irish people who they are meant to serve.
    2
  9609. Reminds me of my school days about 50 years ago. Due to being small, but always determined to stand up for myself, I got into several fights. These used to come to the attention of the deputy head. I'd be praised for standing up for myself, and the other lad would get a serve telling off. On an open evening the deputy head said to my mother: "Mrs Getling you can be proud of David, you ought to have seen the size of the other fellow".
    2
  9610. Sadly, not enough. A lot of parents would sacrifice their first born if the government told them it would save the rest from covid-19.
    2
  9611. It's nice to hear a virologist saying exactly what most of the less cognitively challenged of us have been saying for a few days now. But there's a much bigger and vastly more important implication. This EXTREMELY MILD variant has the very real potential to quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions of people. This is what our government is really terrified of. Imagine the intense embarrassment this would cause, and the questions that the government would have to answer.
    2
  9612. Another day, another Russian false flag.
    2
  9613. Myself and many others have pointed this out. But Bogus Boris's media stooges seem only to happy to overlook this turn of phrase.
    2
  9614. So, Ukraine should withdraw troops from parts its own country, and abandon plans to join an organisation that will protect from future invasion.
    2
  9615. Please use the politically correct term: Lager Louts.
    2
  9616. What people most need to know is that all they need to do is say three little words: "I am exempt". Your medical history is confidential, so you cannot be asked to say why you are exempt. The South African doctors have been very clear that the symptoms of this variant are EXTREMELY MILD. It should probably be called the Fluffy Kitten variant. The government has, for some time now, been gagging to reintroduce masks, and probably also cancel Christmas. This very innocuous variant is simply a pathetic excuse, which only the most gullible will swallow. The government's real concern is that this very low risk variant will spread, and give lots more people excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY, while doing hardly any harm. This, to say the least, would be very embarrassing to them.
    2
  9617. Well that's most people, because they took poorly tested "vaccines" that they didn't need.🤣
    2
  9618. A Russian ship at the bottom of the sea, with nuclear weapons, is far better than one that's afloat with them!
    2
  9619. Yes, sadly the bits with Orcs getting totaled, that we would all enjoy, often get taken out.
    2
  9620. I'm surprised, after all these years, that nobody has ever used a laser sighted high velocity rifle to put this vermin down.
    2
  9621. The microphone must be positioned behind the chair, because that's where this guy is speaking out of. "Until the world is safe" is complete and utter scaremongering crap. Once a country achieves herd immunity it doesn't matter in the least if someone from another country, who is infected comes in, because the virus can't spread. Of course, these charlatans try to scare people with the prospect of a bad-ass variant developing. But guess what, we've been living with respiratory viruses for millions of years, and we are still all here. Even Spanish flu went away by itself.
    2
  9622. The Russian press now reports on economic woes almost every day. You can be certain that they are taking the utmost care not to be accused of exaggeration. I wonder how much longer even downtrodden Russians will allow things to continue deteriorating?
    2
  9623. Anyone who has or can claim a foreign nationality should be instantly deported if they commit an anti-Semitic offence!
    2
  9624. Most of us in the UK would also like to leave this corrupt and incompetent organisation.
    2
  9625. Like the vast majority of people, I believe that you shouldn't have children if you can't afford to bring them up: and with free contraception there is absolutely no excuse. It's also well known that often those who are least suited to being parents are the ones that have whole litters.
    2
  9626. Tyrants in other countries are watching eagerly to see if Austria can get away with this. If so then they will do the same!
    2
  9627. Ukraine has suffered terribly. However, let's not forget that well over half a million Russian soldiers have been either killed or seriously injured, and billions of dollars of Russian equipment has been destroyed. Russia is in no position to attack a NATO member. Of course, as Putin is a mad man, it would be imprudent to not prepare for him to attempt such insanity.
    2
  9628. When you look at Putin's Russia there are so many parallels with Hitler's Germany. The Blitz on English cities had the same intent as Putin's Blitz. It didn't work, and the maniac didn't win.
    2
  9629. Most of these young people shouldn't be at university. They are doing worthless Noddy degrees, whose sole purpose is to keep parasitic lecturers off the street. Get a job, not a mountain of debt!
    2
  9630. He's a BOTH a lawyer and a politician. How could he not lie?
    2
  9631. Let's not delude ourselves. Rishi Sunak is a weak man, with a weak intellect.
    2
  9632. What the BBC doesn't report is that prior to this there were many peaceful demonstrations. Dutch Gestapo police used tear gas and water cannons on those peaceful protestors. So, unsurprisingly, protestors are fighting back this time. As for anti-vax groups this is but another BBC lie. I have 20 vaccine stamps in a little yellow book. I voluntarily CHOSE to have them and paid for them, and I will get more in the future. So I'm hardly anti vaccine. I'm just against giving rushed through, poorly tested ones, to people who absolutely don't need them. Like millions, over the last 20 months I swapped from watching the BBC, because I no longer trust the BBC to even tell me the colour of a London bus.
    2
  9633. What I'm struggling to understand is, what kind of lame-ass managers allow people who are striking on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to come into work, and get paid, on Tuesday and Thursday. These days will be severely disrupted, so the strikers should be told to bugger off, and lose a whole week's wages.
    2
  9634. Until that deranged psychopath Putin came along, trench warfare is something we though that we had seen the last of over 100 years ago.
    2
  9635. It's a pity she can't de deported!
    2
  9636. Does it matter who wins? They are playing King of the Sand Castle: and it's way below the high tide mark.
    2
  9637. The insane psychopath could do an awful lot of damage in three years, and if he knows that he is going to die soon he has very little to lose, especially as he doesn't value any human life: not even Russian lives.
    2
  9638. While I might not be a Starmer fan I see absolutely nothing wrong with him holding his wife's hand, putting his arm around her, or even kissing her.
    2
  9639. Dan, when the scaremongers first got going on Omicron I read what the South African doctors had said, and started calling this the Fluffy Kitten variant. I also said that this was likely to SAFELY immunise people and bring the pandemic to an end. I'm sure plenty of scientists and doctors said exactly the same. It is completely scandalous that the prats in parliament still haven't caught up with the plot, and that their panicked Plan B has needlessly destroyed yet more jobs and businesses.
    2
  9640. TTK's first mistake was being born!
    2
  9641. The last thing you do in the face of a bully is show cravenness. It only encourages them to torment you more. As any kid will tell you, the best course of action is to give them a really bloody nose. Taiwan needs to shoot down any fighter jets infringing its airspace, and sink anything coming too close to its coast. This is what China would do, and doing otherwise sends a very dangerous message!
    2
  9642. Well, we all know the penalty for spying in war time!
    2
  9643. Putin's comments about "historic Russia" made it very clear that he intends to try and conquer all of the Baltic States. If Ukraine falls it will just be the start.
    2
  9644. Well, lots of us predicted that eventually 100s, if not 1000s, of Wagner members would eventually get purged.
    2
  9645. Look at the fear and desperation on this deranged psychopath's face.
    2
  9646. Look it's really, really simple. Just dump them back in France where they came from. If the French won't accept this then, bugger maritime law, dump them and their dinghies as near to the French coast as possible, but way to the south so that they can't head back to the UK. That's all it takes, and someone with the balls to do it!
    2
  9647. They felt great honour and pride dying for Putin.🤣
    2
  9648. The only mercenaries in this war are Putin's Nazi Wagner group.
    2
  9649. Educate yourself about Chamberlain's "peace in our time" with Hitler, and how well that turned out.
    2
  9650. The only mismanagement is that Lineker was suspended instead of being sacked!
    2
  9651. The Japanese know that, although Ukraine is a long way from them, if Putin wins there it will give Emperor Xi the green light to cause all sorts of problems in their neck of the woods. Stopping Putin in Ukraine is the vastly cheaper option for us all!
    2
  9652. The ONLY requirement for a chef, other than not being an axe murderer, is that (s)he is the best cook. I don't give a toss about their race, gender, or religious fantasy. I do give a bloody big toss about the quality of the food on my plate.
    2
  9653. Belarus and Wagner are zero threat to Europe. Sure they might succeed in burning a few farms and villages if they cross NATO borders, but they would be wiped out in time for NATO forces to get home for tea.
    2
  9654. What's so ironic is that many of the countries that will suffer the most are either Putin fan boys or sitting on the fence.
    2
  9655. 1.1 million Orcs dying in Kherson: that's a very sweet dream indeed.
    2
  9656. The time has come for Northern Ireland to leave the Union. the rest of the UK would be very glad to be rid of them!
    2
  9657. Again, this is another good example of why calling Russians Orcs describes them perfectly.
    2
  9658. Unfortunately people have been saying this for some time now. I want to see all the Orcs in Ukraine eradicated, but this is currently happening at a snail's pace. Something spectacular that can't be hidden from the Russian people is needed, if Putin is to be brought down. Like properly taking out the Kerch bridge?
    2
  9659. What we definitely will see is adverse long term effects, for many years to come, as a direct result of all the lockdowns and restrictions. I've absolutely no doubt that these will cause far more deaths than covid-19 ever will. However, these deaths will be much less visible and so politicians don't give a toss about them. I would urge everybody to have a look at the "Great Barrington Declaration" and sign it. It's the right thing to do!
    2
  9660. Absolutely right. If your reckless bet comes right you get a massive bonus, but if it goes wrong you won't have an equal amount taken from you. Of course this encourages gambling that would otherwise not happen.
    2
  9661. There are over 2 million parasitic scroungers in this country who receive benefits by claiming that they can't work. Is it any wonder then that we are running out of money?
    2
  9662. The wrong brand.
    2
  9663. ​ @whatsupchannel3047  If you Google "covid T-cell immunity" you should be able to find a few places that now test for long term immunity. If you have this immunity then you definitely don't need the vaccine: no ifs, no buts, no maybes.
    2
  9664. Has a single cleric or Revolutionary Guard been killed? No. In stark contrast over 400 protestors have been murdered and thousands imprisoned. There will be no turning point until the people in Iran accept that despots don't simply give up power because people complain. You have to FIGHT for your freedom!
    2
  9665. Well this is what happens when Downing Street is stuffed to the gills with imbeciles who have been given absolute power. We now have over 32 million vaccinated. It really doesn't matter in the least if covid-19 is running rampant in other countries because those visiting from the UK are either protected or at VERY LOW risk from this virus. Other than incredible stupidity or cowardice there is absolutely no reason not to completely open up foreign travel. The risk to the UK is well and truly over! And please don't believe the nonsense about variants posing a threat. This is nothing more than the speculation of craven fools. There is no strong evidence that they now pose any risk to the UK.
    2
  9666. It's time our license fees stopped funding the jobs of Hamas sympathisers!
    2
  9667. Nigel, to be honest MOST charities are set up primarily to benefit the founder, but most aren't so obvious in how they pocket the money. Those at the top of them are almost always much better off than the vast majority of people. Founding a charity is one of the best scams going.
    2
  9668. ​ @pearl2910  What a lie! Benefits are one of the largest expenditures in this country, which are crucifying those of us who pay taxes to fund them.
    2
  9669. Maybe Russian mums and dads are finally getting the message that their sons are fighting just for Putin's ego, not to defend the motherland.
    2
  9670.  @Lunarfacia  People can easily check my CV online. Or are you going to say I took the trouble to weave a very elaborate lie. When will pathetic people like you grow up and understand that denying TRUTHS you don't like doesn't make them any less true.
    2
  9671. Of course Iran had a role. Hamas didn't pull all those many thousands of rockets out of a hat.
    2
  9672. It's far more likely that the Chicken Taco will give Putin a deadline of at least one month, which will then be extended.
    2
  9673. Unfortunately a promise from Boris Johnson is completely worthless. This is a man who is well known to break his promises without the slightest hesitation or remorse.
    2
  9674. As Mark Twain said, it's much easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled. Most people are extremely reluctant to admit that they were suckered into taking poorly tested "vaccines" that they didn't need, and that they may now have a ticking timebomb in their bodies. And what parent wants to admit, even to themselves, that they may have given something very bad to their children?
    2
  9675.  @Ashtarot77  A GOOD teacher, is far, far better than watching YouTube.
    2
  9676. Having a mouth the size of a planet I tend to talk to lots of people. For instance, those queuing at the till with me in supermarkets. The funny thing is that the majority of people I talk to seem to be opposed to restrictions, yet the media only ever seem to find avid supporters to interview.
    2
  9677. Australia's own scumbag politicians now pose a vastly greater threat to their freedom and liberty than any foreign power!
    2
  9678. There is no God and therefore having a blasphemy law is just superstitious nonsense.
    2
  9679. Iran's mad dog clerics would do well to remember two things: 1. Mossad can reach them even in Tehran. 2. Israel has nukes.
    2
  9680. Years ago deportations of such vile offenders would have been more or less automatic, and any lawyer trying to block them would have received a very stern reprimand from the judge!
    2
  9681. A desperately frightened little man hoping that his blabbering will save his skin.
    2
  9682. "Many countries have avoided condemning Russia" So it's POETIC JUSTICE that many of these countries have now become Putin's victims!
    2
  9683. So what's it going to be for people like me, with excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY, who don't need, and won't take, these poorly tested vaccines? Do we get put up against the wall and shot, or transported to southern Poland for a nice shower?
    2
  9684. The British people would like to see Sunak copy France and Germany by banning pro-Palestinian marches, and for him to force the BBC to call Hamas terrorists.
    2
  9685. Maybe that's because Putin told Trump that he could help himself to Ukraine's rare earth minerals, and Zelensy didn't.
    2
  9686. What a contrast to cowardly Putin, who wouldn't take the tiniest fraction of a risk that President Biden has. Hopefully the Russian people will see this and realise that there is absolutely no way their incontinent psychopath is going to be allowed to win in Ukraine.
    2
  9687. If they are illegally in the US, and come from India, this is exactly what should be done.
    2
  9688. Admittedly, for an aggressive country, such a biological weapon is extremely attractive. If one can develop a highly infectious and deadly virus, along with a vaccine, then one can wipe out ones enemies at virtually no cost to oneself. Although such research is banned it's very hard to believe that it isn't being carried out in quite a few countries, because the military advantage it gives is just too great to be ignored, and there's always that nagging question about whether ones enemies are secretly pursuing such research.
    2
  9689. Reminds me of videos I've seen of vermin in farmyards being shot at night. But I have a lot more sympathy for the farmyard vermin.
    2
  9690.  @gigacanno750  One can only hope.
    2
  9691. When one considers what the average wage is, £15 per hour might be somewhat on the high side. Somewhere between £10 and £12 pounds would probably hit the mark.
    2
  9692. My heart goes out to the Irish who have been well and truly sold down the river by their corrupt, self-serving politicians. My mother wouldn't recognise the country that she grew up in, which was happy, and safe. And I doubt that the Ireland I lived for a few months in somewhat over 30 years ago exists anymore.
    2
  9693. Italy did exactly the right thing, defending its borders, as its citizens expect it to, and France should have done the same. If these NGO boats want to save people that's fine, as long as they take them back to where they set sail from: otherwise they should be sunk.
    2
  9694. ​ @ericpode6095  So true. I'll never understand why people go to coffee shops when that coffee (or tea) and cake at home would cost so much less: especially if, like me you bake your own cakes.
    2
  9695.  @callumhaines6874  Oh, look. A Putin rent boy.
    2
  9696. Why are governments still denying these now irrefutable facts: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting: maybe a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Some of those construction workers are now naturally immune. Others who might catch covid-19 will mainly shake it off more easily than a bad cold, and then be naturally immune. Only a bunch of despotic Nazis would force vaccination on these people.
    2
  9697. What's fallen is the influx of highly qualified migrants who could actually make a valuable contribution to this country. The influx of those who are a serious burden, and just sap our limited resources, continues to rise.
    2
  9698. Speak for yourself. Not all of us are cowards who want to surrender to Putin.
    2
  9699. Perhaps if Trump had been around in the early 1940's he would have said that Poland should have prevented the war which saw it invaded simultaneously by Germany and Russia, neither of which it had launched any incursions into, or made any threats against. Maybe he would also have blamed Poland's Jews for the genocide they suffered.
    2
  9700. ​ @anonymous-xy5ue  Either you are lying, or passing on a lie. It is incredibly rare for people to get covid-19 a second time. This only happens in those who are severely immunocompromised, but governments have enthusiastically propagated this lie in order to scare people into obeying lockdown rules. Natural immunity and reinfection is now well researched, and natural immunity is known to be extremely good.

  9701. Hopefully Georgia will realise this, kick out Moscow's puppet government, and retake the 20% of its country that was stolen. And there are probably parts of the Russian Federation that want out. Taking advantage of Russia's current weakness would be very smart.

  9703. "Opportunity Pass" is brilliant. It sounds like something straight out of the mouth of Josef Goebbels. What I find really frightening is that I have only just found out about this thanks to GBNews. Why doesn't the BBC report on this? Because their lords and masters in Downing Street don't want people thinking about the very dark path vaccine passports will lead us down. There's a very obvious reason why Sweden, Florida, and the Amish communities are doing so well: NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY. Exactly what the best experts advised governments to rely on right from the start. Advice that was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. I now fly a Swedish flag outside my home, to remind people of the one country that handles covid-19 properly.

  9704. Well, less than 2 weeks ago a large peaceful demonstration in Amsterdam was meet with violence by the police. As the saying goes: "he who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind". And let us not forget that the last curfew in Holland was introduced by the Nazis.
    2
  9705. Ah, the satisfaction of saying "I told you so". Right at the very start the REAL experts told governments that their insane lockdowns would be ineffective and just cause immense damage. This has indeed proven to be the case. But as the rich got richer governments really don't care that their restrictions have crucified the poor: and continue to do so.

  9708. Please people, don't believe the "NHS overwhelmed" propaganda. For instance, in London we have an absolutely massive Nightingale hospital, built at great expense to the taxpayer, standing empty. If Blow Job and Hancock weren't such complete imbeciles they would have directed that as many as possible London covid-19 patients be sent to this hospital. It was specifically designed for them, and would stop them being "bed blockers" in other hospitals. The ease of handling of this vaccine is good news. Well, at least it would be if we were in an efficient country that could distribute it very quickly. Unfortunately we have a bungling government that couldn't manage a piss-up in a brewery. Also vaccine take up would certainly be encouraged if Blow Job, all his cabinet, and the Royal family, were televised getting the needle. There's the feeling that they are watching to see how it affects everyone else, before committing to it themselves.
    2
  9709. Let's call out this shameful "inquiry" for exactly what it really is: an expensive whitewash that's fattening the wallets of a lot of lawyers. A genuine enquiry would ask at least the following three questions: 1. Should there have been any lockdowns? 2. Should there have been a mask mandate? 3. Should most people have been vaccinated? But this so-called enquiry is DESIGNED to lead people AWAY from these questions. The answer, supported by GENUINE science, is a resounding NO to all of them!

But at least we don't go into lockdown over 20 or 30 infections, or even 1000 times as many. Don't you Aussies feel the least embarrassed that most of your so-called "leaders" wet their pants every time somebody sneezes, and the rest of you act like good little sheep and let them lock you down.

  9723. Of course you should speak the language of the country you are in. It's just common sense. When I was living in Germany I had to take an ex employer to court. Although the judge probably spoke perfect English the proceedings had to be conducted in German, and if I wasn't prepared to speak German then I would have had to pay for a translator, or bilingual lawyer. So, I represented myself, in German, and won!

  9724. What else would you expect from the self-serving Nazis in Downing Street?
    2
  9725. Perhaps, once again, we need to look to Sweden, and instead consider how that money might be better spent so that many people feel much less inclined to commit crimes that merit incarceration. Also, how many people genuinely need to be locked up? I wonder if rich Rishi realises that many involved in drug related crime actually do it to put food on the table for their families, and that others do it because they honestly can't see any decent future for themselves. Hard on crime sounds good, but if you "listen to the science" you soon understand that it simply doesn't work.

Sometimes doing the right thing has a cost, and even a high one, but we still do it because it is right. Yes, Europe is suffering, but most of us are happy to suffer in order to help Ukraine fight for its freedom. Either Hungarians need to get a leader with some moral compass, or Hungary needs to be expelled from both NATO and the EU.

  9738. Many of us have said that withdrawal from Afghanistan convinced psychopaths like Putin and Emperor Xi that they could always win the long game. If the West lets Ukraine fall then Putin will quickly move on to another Baltic state, and Xi will invade Taiwan.

    2
  9740. I must add that I love the concept of "quality years of life". Since lockdowns disproportionately hurt those who are younger, for the sake of those who are overwhelmingly very old and/or sick it would be very interesting, and politically explosive, if a balance sheet were produced using this metric. Most people would be truly horrified when they saw how far into the red it went. This will be BJ's and his cabinet's true legacy to this country: but many of them will get a knighthood for it.
    2
  9741. For the vast majority of the scientifically illiterate, here's the bottom line. If a different vaccine targets the same antigen on the virus then mixing them will almost certainly work. If they target different antigens then the second vaccine shot will be rather like having a first shot again. Then it's a question of whether having a weaker immune response to two different antigens is better than having a really strong response to one. It's also a question of how quickly these responses will fade due to neither of them being reinforced by a second exposure to the same antigen. Of course, natural immunity probably primes your immune system to recognise quite a few antigens. So there's a good chance it may be better and longer lasting than any (or even a combination) of these vaccines.

    2
  9744. While Bridgen's comments were OTT, there is more than a grain of truth in them. 90% to 95% of people should never have been given these rushed through vaccines. Their products have now been found in breast milk, which makes you wonder what else they are doing that they shouldn't. But one thing is certain, this and every other government will do everything in their power to cover up any adverse effects that these vaccines might be having!

  9751. Let's have a look at the evidence: 1. Without any lockdowns, Sweden had a lower Covid-19 death rate than the UK. 2. We recently had the Cochrane review, just the latest in several very reputable ones, confirming what most of us suspected: that the vast majority of masks were completely useless. 3. It was extremely well known that for most people Covid-19 posed a negligible risk, and that after infection natural immunity was vastly better than the rush through vaccines. Of course, for the government, and its stooges like the BBC and YouTube, this is all disinformation.

  9757. So much expense and nonsense over a virus with an IFR of about 0.3% that overwhelmingly only killed the very old and/or very sick. Yet most still won't condemn the lockdowns and mass vaccinations, with very poorly tested vaccines, for the complete madness that they were.

  9761. For over a year now we have known that this virus poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to anyone under 30 (maybe considerably older). We knew also that NATURAL IMMUNITY was very good and long lasting, and we now know that it is vastly better than vaccination. If two years ago you had asked a medical ethics class whether people in these groups should be vaccinated then you would have heard a deafening NO. And that's even before mentioning that the vaccines in question have been rushed through and poorly tested.

  9774. Much as I think what is being done to Ukraine is abhorrent, if Moscow genuinely views NATO as hostile to Russia then, regardless of the reality, negotiations have to take this into account. A certain degree of pragmatism is needed, as sticking to one's principles seems likely to not only have an incredibly high price, but ultimately be in vain, or yield a Pyric victory. Very hard as it is to swallow, the least damaging solution, if it is acceptable to Moscow, would be to let the two regions in Ukraine, and the one in Moldavia join Russia. If this is what the majority in these regions want it would demonstrate OUR much vaunted democracy, and rid the these countries of what is probably not worth the trouble of trying to keep. And if it saves the destruction of 2000 year old Kyiv, and a lot more, then maybe agreeing not to join NATO is a better choice than having little worth defending. People need to put their emotions to one side, and consider just how much EVERYONE stands to lose. War is a lot like two vicious, but fairly evenly matched, thugs fighting to the death. The one who survives has probably had an ear and nose bitten off, an eye pocked out, and quite a few bones broken. That's not much of a win!

  9781. Let's be absolutely clear about this. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to about 99% of people. They do not need these poorly tested vaccines, and until we burned the books on medical ethics they would have told you that these vaccinations are WRONG! Far from the 150,000 we are told have died in the UK, a freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that just 17,500 healthy people have died: and almost all were over 65.

  9800. There is still a massive effort to cover up any adverse consequences caused by the unnecessary (for about 95%) administration of improperly tested vaccines. Mainstream media, including YouTube, is fully on board with this, and to a large extent it has been very successful.
    2
  9801. On the news last night I heard that a black man was given two years in jail just for throwing two bottles. The scumbag judge ought to get a few years in jail for such an immensely disproportionate sentence. Those two bottles probably didn't hurt anyone, and many people who seriously hurt others are given far more lenient sentences. I gather that Lord Denning is once reputed to have said: "I can promise to give you a judgement according to English law. I cannot promise to hive you justice".

  9804. All these foreign news agencies might be amazed to know that last night's BBC news, even it's local London news didn't so much as mention this protest. Yet only a few days earlier their main headline news was showing much smaller protests over a new football league. Like the former Iron Curtain countries, a lot of our media now seems to be strictly controlled by the government, which vigorously censors stuff they don't want us to know about.

  9805. Germany delivering all the weapons it promised ages ago would definitely help block Putin's invasion. But Germany is deliberately delaying for fear of having the Russian gas it is addicted to cut off.

  9806. Another thing that isn't being shouted from the rooftops is that the mRNA in these vaccines is now being found in breast milk. This is certainly unexpected, though no doubt our politicians will assure us that this is absolutely nothing to worry about. Well, I'm not worried, because I wasn't stupid enough to have these rushed through vaccines.

  9808. Schools and teachers aren't perfect, and often there may be cause for complaint, BUT it's important that parents remember that their kids might well be lying. Here's a list of lies that a boy who has just finished Y12 told his stepmother in order to get out of physics tutoring, which in addition to the lesson time would have cost him even more travelling time: 1. He said that I wouldn't allow him to access his homework on the internet. In fact quite a few of my students use the internet with me. However, they use their own connection and don't expect me to give them my WiFi password. 2. He claimed that my textbooks weren't up-to-date, when in fact I have the exam boards' own very latest textbooks in each subject I tutor: the good comprehensive very expensive ones, not the cheap revision guides. 3. I go out of my way to encourage students to ask questions and ask for help in whatever topic they most feel they need help in, regularly checking that they understand what we are covering. Yet this boy told his mother that I was rigid in what I taught and wouldn't allow him to ask any questions. I'm not looking for sympathy just reminding parents that some kids are really nasty and dishonest (just like some adults) and will lie through their teeth in order to avoid work or not take responsibilities for their own failings or behaviour. So, before you blame the teacher have a good hard look at your kid!

And MOST are concerned about two-tier policing that allows militant Islamists to do as they damn well please. But instead of focusing on the root causes of these riots Starmer is WRONGLY putting it down to the far-right. If the small boats had been stopped. If the so-called "pro-Palestinian" marches had been outlawed. If the man who broke a policewoman's nose was now in prison, and so many other things like this, then the riots would not have happened. Being a lawyer, Starmer doesn't have the honesty and decency to admit this.

  9821. If Boris did say this then it's one of the very few redeeming things that he has said, and he should have turned these words into actions. The "piled up bodies" would have been a much smaller price to pay than the incredible damage that has been done by the lockdowns. Actually, what he should have done was sack (or better still shoot) all of SAGE and follow the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration. That is, just isolate the most vulnerable and let everyone else get on with their lives. This would have worked well!

  9822. Maybe from some in government, but certainly not from the people as a whole.
    2
  9823. Russia, Iran and North Korea. It's like a little tea party for rabid chimpanzees: with Scholz and Erdogan playing waiter.
    2
  9824. Labour have always had one overriding policy: levelling down. Of course Labour MPs will always find ways for themselves and their family to wriggle out of this. Tony Blair made a big thing of sending his kids to state school. But isn't it strange that this school WASN'T a local one in Islington where he lived, and was better than a lot of private schools.
    2
  9825. The worst parasites that water companies have to deal with are their CEOs, senior management, and shareholders.
    2
  9826. To Putin his soldiers are just meat for the grinder, so he isn't worried about collecting up the dead meat. Most families probably don't become aware of a death for quite some time, if at all.
    2
  9827. Maybe soon Iran will no longer have the capability to make a nuisance of itself!

  9828. You are either a troll, a charlatan or a fool to say this.

  9831. Although I own my own property, for the sake of young people, I would dearly love to see a massive drop in property prices: at the very least 30%. Perhaps then they would have the same opportunities to own their home that I enjoyed at their age. A house is somewhere to shelter and make a home. If you want to make money then consider doing an honest day's work. Don't screw those less fortunate than you.
    2
  9832. I'll bet that like Hitler in his last days Putin is now cowering in a bunker. There are regions that really want out of the Russian Federation, and countries that don't want to be the Kremlin's puppets. There has never been a better moment for them all to make a bid for freedom. Let's hope it isn't squandered.
    2
  9833. Rwanda was a terrible waste of our money. FFS learn from Australia and house these illegals on a remote island, where they have no hope of ever setting foot on the British mainland. There are lots of suitable bleak Scottish islands, and it will be much cheaper: AND EFFECTIVE.

  9834. Even the Nazis didn't behead babies!
    2
  9835. This is the ONLY peace negotiations Putin understands!
    2
  9836. Unfortunately, you need some intelligence to appreciate this simple fact. The same is also true in regard to electric vehicles. They keep a city's air cleaner, but the bigger picture is far less rosy.
    2
  9837. Praise where praise is due. Trump's handling of illegal immigrants is fantastic, and something to be emulated. Defunding the WHO and parts of the UN is also highly laudable. However, selling out Ukraine to a power crazed psychopath is appalling.

  9838. No more than a paint scratch, according to the Russians.🤣

  9839. Well done that motorist. He should be given a medal!

  9840. I don't know if the same thing is happening in the US, but in the UK it now seems that hardly a day goes by without a CHILD being raped by an illegal migrant!
    2
  9841. What those in their 20s said is in some degree true! They are at incredibly low risk from covid-19: less risk than that posed by good old-fashioned seasonal flu. Why on earth would they take a vaccine that is based on new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know if there will be any adverse long term effects. If I was their age I definitely wouldn't take these vaccines, and I'm someone with a little yellow book of 20 vaccine stamps for other vaccines that I spent time and money getting! Also, taking the government's own figures, to date there have been over 5 million cvoid-19 infections. All of these people now have excellent long term immunity. There is absolutely no benefit in vaccinating any of these people. This is the science speaking: the science that the government proports to listen to.
    2
  9842. Quite a few very reputable institutions have now firmly established that if you have had covid-19, even asymptomatically, then you now have natural immunity. Furthermore they have shown that this immunity is at least as good as that conferred by vaccination, possibly better, and might even last a lifetime. It has also been shown that vaccinating such people does not confer any additional benefit. So one has to wonder what the agenda of any government is when they try to coerce such people into taking a vaccine that will not benefit them in the slightest, and is known to not be 100% safe. Natural immunity can now easily be tested for, either by the presence of antibodies or, for those who had covid-19 sometime ago, by testing for memory B and T cells and the like. There is no sound scientific reason for not treating such people in the same way (if not better) as those who have had two jabs.
    2
  9843. Not only experimental, but sick and repulsive!
    2
  9844. What I find amazing is that anyone would be stupid enough to pay even 1K a day for the services of an MP. Do people really not realise that hardly any MPs are particularly bright?
    2
  9845. A lot of sausages have been freed from their former owners, and two eggs along with each one.
    2
  9846. Makes you wonder how many other freebies the Starmers have been given. If TTK pulls back on putting 20% VAT on private schools I'm sure some very good ones would offer their kids free places.
    2
  9847. Long overdue!
    2
  9848. Me too. Some trees, or a few birds.
    2
  9849. Of course Trudeau won't meet with them. He's wetting his pants in fear that one of them might give him the damn good slap he deserves, which is why he ran away when they first arrived in Ottawa.
    2
  9850. ​ @robc1014  You know, I sometimes wonder whether this is exactly why the government doesn't want to touch this. They don't want people to find out what a truly dire state the job market is in.
    2
  9851.  @KingAgniKai  Or perhaps people like you should, for a change, tell the truth.

  9852. As soon as Putrid sets foot in Lithuania they will.

  9853. The answer isn't electric cars. It's getting people who don't need to drive out of cars. Well over half the motorists in this country do not need to drive and should not own a car!

  9855. ​ @ImrightYourenot-zy8ro  Oh, you mean the 87% that was decided by the Kremlin before the election.
    2
  9856. Like everything Boris, with his useless classics degree, comes up with this is very poorly thought out. The average annual cost of heating your home with gas is around £500 per year. After the government grant most will still have to find over
    2
  9857. Yes Whitty, there are a number of MYTHS, designed to scare and here are some of them. 1. Vaccination is better than natural immunity. WRONG! Natural immunity is 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is short-lived. WRONG! Unlike vaccine induced immunity, natural immunity appears to be very long lasting, and may even last a lifetime. 3. Vaccination after covid-19 boosts your immunity even more. WRONG! That truly massive and reliable Israeli study found that "there is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. It's the government and people like you who are the biggest peddlers of untruth!
    2
  9858. Not letting the Omicron variant rip is just another in a long list of mistakes in handling this pandemic. Even over a month since it appeared in South Africa, the EVIDENCE still indicates an EXTREMELY MILD variant. Hopefully the government's meddling will prove ineffective, because Omicron really does offer the possibility of quickly and SAFELY spreading herd immunity, and bringing this pandemic to an end. This is what the government really fears. We don't need Plan B. We need Omicron parties, and it's exactly the right time of year to have them!

  9862. Neither Putin nor Xi genuinely give a damn about Iran.
    2
  9863. Unfortunately, with the Russian Nazis raping, torturing and murdering, surrender is not an option.
    2
  9864. Vaccine passports are popular because people are spiteful, and misery loves company. All these gullible schmucks are looking enviously at us Pure Bloods who are living very healthy happy lives, and not suffering from covid-19. This makes them feel bad and foolish, so they want to either force us to do the same or make us suffer if we don't.

  9865. I hope Zelensky gives Putin a Victory Day that he will remember for the rest of his cowardly life.
    2
  9866. Does anyone who has a life waste some of it watching such rubbish?
    2
  9867. Almost from the start there's been good evidence that natural immunity effectiveness wiped the floor with these rushed through vaccines. But that wasn't what government wanted people to hear, and an awful lot of their MSM stooges suppressed the facts about natural immunity. Indeed many told outright lies about it!
    2
  9868. No. In this country they get knighted.
    2
  9869. So tough guy Harry, who took out several Taliban, is frightened of a few people with cameras.
    2
  9870. First universities embezzle fees, by cheating students out of face-to-face teaching. Now they want to make their life as miserable as possible while they are on college grounds. Students need to tell them where to shove their face nappies.
    2
  9871. Cowardly Sunak giving words of succor to Putin.
    2
  9872. For every honest, decent Turk nothing is more important than removing Erdogan.
    2
  9873. These aren't mainly anti-vaxers or covid-19 deniers. They are honest decent people who are sick of having their freedoms butt-raped by a despotic Nazi government. They are people who just want to work so that they can put food on the table for their children. They are people who want to be able to choose whether they take poorly tested experimental vaccines. The police are Gestapo pigs, that Hitler would be very proud of. They are shooting teargas and rubber bullets at peaceful and defenseless protesters, and pepper spraying them. They only protesters they are not so brave at tackling are those big tough construction workers, who they know can fight back.
    2
  9874. One would have thought that after all these years someone would have taken out Kim and and his equally insane sister.
    2
  9875. The thing is that what seems a small rise in temperature may seriously alter some climate patterns, such as the monsoon. If this kind of thing does happen then the consequences for India might be catastrophic. It seems very unfair that the richer countries are responsible for most of the rise in greenhouses gases, due to their industrial revolutions. However, the whole world has to focus on the present and the future. It's that old saying about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
    2
  9876. I do wonder if Russian people really are stupid enough not to realise that if Putin used nukes against NATO then they would be annihilated minutes later. One also wonders how many of his generals have children and family that they love, because surely in that case some of them would be prepared to give their own lives to take Putin out.
    2
  9877. Has anyone considered the possibility the Erdogan is Putin's close buddy and may indeed have himself instigated the Koran burning in order to give himself a (flimsy) excuse to stand in Sweden's way, and generate support from his fellow Turks?
    2
  9878. Anti-Israeli is a politically palatable euphemism for anti-Semitic. And when you look at the ethnicity of many Labour MPs it's not at all unlikely that there are plenty more that badly need weeding out.
    2
  9879. Looks like a great target for Ukrainian forces. The Orcs are already in the oven. They just need some heat to roast them well.
    2
  9880. Putin made his intentions very clear, over a year ago, in his speech about "Historic Russia", and they haven't changed in the slightest. If there is a peace deal a peacekeeping force is absolutely essential, and the only reason for Putin objecting is because he fully intends to attack again.
    2
  9881. No you don't think at all. The Swiss would have been gobbled up if Germany had won!
    2
  9882. All that a ceasefire would do is give Russia a badly needed opportunity to regroup. As for ceding territory, we've played that game before, with Hitler, who was no worse than Putin. We accepted the Austrian Anschluss, and conceded the Sudetenland, and we all know how that ended.
    2
  9883. Does anyone intelligent person seriously care what Putin says or thinks?
    2
  9884. And Putin rent boys are still crying.
    2
  9885. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    2
  9886. If it were people like WELL QUALIFIED doctors and dentists it would be OK. If it were GENUINE refugees like Ukrainians it would be OK. Unfortunately most visas are NOT justified.

  9887. Giving a Civil Servant a credit card is like giving a baby matches to play with.

  9888. We all know what would happen to this judge in a country that wasn't heavily biased in favour of Muslims. He would have been immediately sacked!
    2
  9889. Actually, God is a close friend of mine, who I spoke to last night. He told me he didn't approve of Welby.
    2
  9890. Ah, rural Russians. Learn to play a banjo, and "squeal like a pig boy".
    2
  9891. What an appalling way to treat young people in a foreign country. Deprived of the opportunity to earn anything to pay their fees, rent, or feed themselves. Charged massively for an education they are not getting, and effectively imprisoned. Am I the only one who thinks this is wrong?
    2
  9892. So many of us were vilified for voicing concerns over a "vaccine" that hadn't undergone the normal 3 to 4 years phase III safety trials: especially for a virus that posed such a small risk to most people. Funny, that.
    2
  9893. If Trump is successful in his mass deportation of illegal immigrants then many millions in the UK will be watching with envy.
    2
  9894. At least Turkey can't veto this.
    2
  9895. The UK also knew that after having had Covid natural immunity is excellent and long lasting: possibly for life!
    2
  9896.  @georgedeane2564  Of course, you can provide a link to this confirmation, that nobody else seems to have seen?
    2
  9897. Those of us with brains are fairly certain that a desperate Indian government latched on to this excuse in an attempt to deflect the intense anger that is being directed against it. The Indian variant is nothing more than a scapegoat to get them off the hook. The TRUTH is that there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to indicate that this variant is any more infectious, deadly, or will circumvent immunity. If the Indian variant wasn't there we can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that another one would be taking it's place. Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat, and he must not be allowed to use this variant (or any other) as an excuse to yet again renege on his promises.
    2
  9898. I've said this so many times. They turn a blind eye to the most blatant anti-Semitism. But give them a group of women holding a legal, peaceful vigil for someone who one of their own had raped and murdered and they go full-on Nazi storm trooper.
    2
  9899. That was exactly what I thought as soon as I saw the headline. There's absolutely no excuse for this farce!
    2
  9900. In the free West no decent person cares what Putin and his minions think, or plan to do, because we know that they are vicious psychopaths that can't be trusted. 70,000 to 80,000 of their Orcs have now been killed, and the rate of their attrition will keep going up. We will continue to supply Ukraine with arms and training, and look forward to either many more Orcs being killed, or Putin's "removal" from power.
    2
  9901. Thanks for a good laugh on Monday morning. Expecting Starmer to make Britain great is as fanciful as expecting to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Frankly, I'd say chasing rainbows is a better bet.
    2
  9902. I hear they are hiring Doctor WHO to take a look at how those millions of lab rats are doing in 5 years time. But the report won't be published if there's any bad news.
    2
  9903. Did you party when you were young? Are you really so selfish as to expect young peoples lives to be ruined for the sake of those who have themselves enjoyed a long and damn good life? The answer is to get off the backs of young people, and for those who feel threatened to be much more careful until herd immunity or a vaccine is developed. And by the way, I'm 62 and don't feel in the least threatened by covid-19.
    2
  9904. Since covid-19 has never posed a threat to over 99% of the population, and natural immunity is vastly better, the vaccine scheme was a terrible waste of money. Lockdowns and restrictions were also totally wrong, and have had catastrophic consequences. As the REAL experts advised, only the most vulnerable should have been isolated until natural herd immunity developed.
    2
  9905. The trouble is that Donny doesn't want to hurt his good buddy Vlad.
    2
  9906. Nigel Farage could have already been PM if so many complete idiots hadn't voted Conservative of Labour.
    2
  9907. Mad dog Putin knows that even if he killed every last defender they would kill many more rapists, torturers and murderers. He doesn't want the further embarrassment this would cause.
    2
  9908. Well it's far more than our WOKE, Hamas loving police will do!
    2
  9909. After what Russia previously did to those rebels and those who supported them, it will lose them a lot of support if Putin's bases aren't totally destroyed.
    2
  9910. Throughout this pandemic my ONLY "concerns" have been the immense damage done to our economy, and our young people having their education and mental health buggered to hell.
    2
  9911. If these weren't really pro-Hamas supporters they would be demanding the Hamas stop DELIBERATELY basing its forces in hospitals, schools and refugee camps. They would also be demanding that Hamas renounce attacks on civilians, rather than vowing to repeat the atrocities of 7th Oct, again and again.
    2
  9912. With their totally unnecessary covid lockdowns and restrictions the Tories have already done enough damage to this country. Do they really want to hammer the final nail in its coffin by giving a complete imbecile like Starmer the chance to get into No.10?
    2
  9913. Unless Russian mums and dads are prepared to stand by and watch their sons needlessly butchered I expect the days of Putin and his so-called "strong men" will soon come to an end.
    2
  9914. That's because in reality these people are pro-Hamas anti-Semites, who hate everything this country stands for. Or should I now say used to stand for.
    2
  9915. This is what a lot of us are thinking, and that it could lead to Putin being "removed" from power, and maybe even the breakup of the Russian Federation: a very real fear of Putin. But just as Ukraine's incredible suffering might be paying off Trump seems to be throwing Putin a lifeline, which he will use to rearm and attack again.
    2
  9916. When I think of the expression "good Samaritan", in the context that the parable was told, the phrase "honest politician" always comes to mind.
    2
  9917. Or calling the Nazis Zionists.
    2
  9918. For Xi Jinping Ukraine is both a strain on Western resources, and a test of the West's unity and resolve. That's why he supports Putin. Because if we fail this test then Taiwan WILL be invaded!
    2
  9919. That would be like the engine surge that blew up the Moskva.🤣🤣🤣
    2
  9920. The TV license is an anachronism that many other countries have done away with. If the BBC is as good as it likes to think it is then it will be able to support itself with private advertising, as well over 100 other channels in the UK are able to do.
    2
  9921. Xi is behaving like a badly spoilt child, throwing a massive tantrum because be didn't get his way.
    2
  9922. ​ @slowcatto  No, I'm pretty certain these judges would deal very severely with any Christian white dude making a remark that could even barely be considered to be anti-Muslim.
    2
  9923. In the late 1930's and early 1940's you can be pretty certain that, in exactly the same way, the German government would have said that claims of mistreatment of certain groups was ‘Disgraceful & Untrue’!
    2
  9924. What a stupid statement. No one is ever "mentally ready for war". But sometimes you see atrocities committed that you know you have to make a stand against. It's as simple as that.
    2
  9925. How the suckers cry when Sweden is mentioned.
    2
  9926. That's Hunt with a C isn't it.
    2
  9927. What a bunch of pathetic. frightened, work shy cowards: just like most teachers in the UK. Even the original variant posed a miniscule risk to most teachers, and Omicron is a least 10 time less dangerous. If teachers, both in France and the UK, were going to fight at all, then it should have been to keep schools and exams running exactly like before the pandemic.
    2
  9928. These Putin supporters are the kind of people that supported Hitler and his gas chambers!
    2
  9929. Remember the videos of Putin we saw years ago, doing karate and horse riding in Siberia. What a contrast to what we see now. A frightened old man who shits his pants and poisons those who criticise him.
    2
  9930. Let's make no mistake. Putin is an insane psychopath who would sacrifice every man, woman and child in Russia if he thought it would keep him in power. Apart from the mentally enfeebled Putin fan boys, I suspect most Russians are beginning to grasp this simple fact.
    2
  9931. Never a truer word. Those of us with a nice house and garden, and paid up mortgage have been cruising blissfully through these restrictions. They have barely touched me. HOWEVER, if I had been hit with lockdowns 30 or 40 years ago they would have crucified me in so many ways. There is absolutely no doubt that those in favour of lockdowns and restrictions are some of the most craven and selfish creatures that ever crawled the face of this planet. Of course selfish cowards always tell themselves that they are doing something noble. Their enthusiasm for restrictions is all about protecting the very old and the vulnerable: yeah right.😉
    2
  9932. Yeh, what could be better than young people dying to boost the egos of a few psychopaths in their 70s.
    2
  9933. It's much much lower than one-third. The people like SAGE, who come out with this nonsense, are infamous for exaggerating dangers by 10 to 100. About a month ago South Africa doctors said that Omicron was EXTREMELY MILD. All the evidence to date fully supports this.
    2
  9934. For "difficult decisions" read "decent hardworking people and pensioners, who have earned a moderately comfortable retirement, are going to get badly screwed".
    2
  9935. I'm sure the hard pressed council tax payers in South Cambridgeshire will be delighted at how THEIR money is being spent.

  9936. If British values and customs offend you then you don't belong in this country, and should get the hell out of it!

  9937. I voted reform because I've got absolute contempt for the Tories. Such a merger would effectively destroy Reform UK and everything it stands for.
    2
  9938. This virus is HARMLESS to most kids. If you are a good parent you will avoid causing them UNECESSARY anxiety by not testing them at all. We all know where Williamson can shove his tests.
    2
  9939. And the UK was going to allow the Chinese to build our nuclear power stations. Makes you think, doesn't it.
    2
  9940. Of course Scumbag Starmer has a policy. He has exactly one policy that he is totally focused on: he has wet dreams about being PM.
    2
  9941. By far the best way to discourage Russia using tactical nuclear weapons is to let them know that Ukraine will IMMEDIATELY be equipped with equivalent weapons, so that they can very quickly respond in kind.
    2
  9942. I wouldn't hold my breath for "all bark" Trump to actually man up to anything.
    2
  9943. I think Andrew Marr is on the edge of delusion. It's 2 years until the next general election and an awful lot can happen in that time.

  9944. It's like a bad remake of a scene from Aliens. Though the Putin rent boys would have you believe otherwise.

  9945. Suis-je le seul à souhaiter voir la peine de mort pour des crimes comme celui-ci ?
    2
  9946. It's all empty threats, because if Poland is attacked NATO joins the party!
    2
  9947. It's far more likely that Jenrick is delusional, rather than Farage being rattled.
    2
  9948. The mass graves remind one of how the Russians murdered 22,000 Polish officers in WW II. It seems that 70 years later they still have no hesitation in committing the most atrocious of war crimes.
    2
  9949. As US law is based on precedent, unless serious corruption is at play, the Supreme Court will rule against this. That precedent was recently set by law professor Todd Zywicki. He sued the scumbags at George Mason University, in Fairfax, and won.
    2
  9950. Iran's "firm and immediate response" will be lots of fundamentalist fanatics taking to its streets and chanting "death to America".
    2
  9951. Until the release of Covid "vaccines" phase 3 trials typically lasted around 4 years. I will never understand how young healthy people, for whom Sars-cov-2 posed a negligible risk, were willing to take something they clearly didn't need, whose safety trials had been drastically curtailed.
    2
  9952. ​ @Frederick.J.Marshall  Yes, because the truth got out, and it should have got out a lot sooner. So it's good that Suella isn't prepared to see the same mistakes repeated.
    2
  9953. The welcome given to Ukrainians proves that people in this country are very far from being anti refugee. But many want to protect their daughters, wives and sisters from an influx of young men who have absolutely no respect for women! Think back to the news from Cologne a few years back, showing innocent young German girls in tears, after many who had gathered for a Christmas celebration were molested by so-called refugees. Even worse, the German government tried to cover up the identity of the culprits.
    2
  9954. Ich möchte meiner Gestapo sehr danken. Gut gemacht.
    2
  9955. Have to admit that watching Australia from afar is a bit like watching a cross between "Allo Allo" and Fawlty Towers.
    2
  9956. Here's the deal that Trump has agreed with Putin. Putin gets Ukraine, and in return Trump gets all those lovely rare earth minerals he is after. Another part of the deal is that Trump and Putin are going to divvy up Greenland between them: rather like another divvying up with Russia in 1939.
    2
  9957. Lest anyone be in the slightest doubt, Putin wants Odesa as badly as a pedophile wants access to little boys.

  9958. So this scumbag wants to be able to cut off my gas remotely while I'm having a shower or roasting a joint.

  9960. But it doesn't take much funding for someone to spend a FEW SECONDS looking under a vehicle before it leaves a prison: just a minimal level of common sense and competence.
    2
  9961. Yes, China could take Taiwan, but the equipment and personnel loses in doing so would dwarf those of Poo Tin. And China's got vastly more to lose from a trade embargo.
    2
  9962. Giving into someone worse than Hitler is an even worse solution.
    2
  9963. Well done Ukraine! Hopefully the first of many more, an bigger ones, to come. Now, what about those bridges that Russia loves so much?
    2
  9964. I'm sure that most of the elite realise what the easiest and most face-saving way out of this for Russia is. "Remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men". Blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine. Anyone who cares about the future of Russia's young people knows that the sooner this happens the better.
    2
  9965. Fortunately for us the Irish government, like our own, are self-serving, despicable cowards. Because if they had the guts to detain illegals on one of Ireland's bleak Atlantic islands there would be a stampede back into Northern Ireland.
    2
  9966. That's because dead men don't talk.
    2
  9967. Sorry, but I'm sick to death of people thinking it's fine to claim to be a looney. Years ago people would have felt deep shame in admitting they were a nutter, rather than vaunting it proudly.
    2
  9968. And an extremely nasty and untrustworthy boy, at that!
    2
  9969. This is one of democracy's greatest failings. It allows people to elect total nut jobs.
    2
  9970. It's been an incredibly successful campaign of terror, full of censorship, misinformation and outright lies. Josef Goebbels would have been immensely proud to own it. Isn't it funny how a little more than 2 years ago any teacher who forced his/her students to wear masks would have been immediately suspended, and then struck off for CHILD ABUSE. And as Harvard's large study in Bangladesh showed, the masks that most people wear are about as effective as a condom with a hole in it.
    2
  9971. Let's get this into context. 1million is only 1 in 7000 in 7 months. Compared to so many other causes of death this really is completely negligible. Nothing to see, move on folks.
    2
  9972. I don't know about goblin, but he definitely reminds me of Golum.
    2
  9973. or BAD!
    2
  9974. Here's some clear messaging. The correct way to handle this virus is given in the Great Barrington Declaration. You just isolate the most vulnerable and let everyone else get on with their lives. Those vulnerable stay isolated until they have been vaccinated or herd immunity develops. The GBD would work extremely well for 3 reasons: 1. This is a virus that kills well under 1%, and we know those who are at risk. 2. It is a fairly contagious virus. 3. Those who recover have excellent natural immunity that may well last a lifetime. Continuing to implement failed lockdown policies is nothing short of CRIMINAL. There is not even the slightest possibility of sustaining zero covid-19 infections. This virus is never going away.
    2
  9975. We have given £500 million to the French, and wasted around another £320 million on the Rwanda scheme. We are also reported to be spending about £45,000 per year keeping illegals comfortable in the kind of hotels most of us cannot afford to stay in. Meanwhile we see Trump removing illegals to Guantanamo Bay. Yet we have hundreds, if not thousands, of islands that we could detain our illegals on, and it would cost less than we have wasted, and continue to waste. AND it would be a massive deterrent!
    2
  9976. A psychopathic bully, upset that he's not being allowed to bash the little guy.
    2
  9977. In regard to the retirement age there is one really massive elephant in the room: RAMPANT AGEISM. This becomes extremely common a decade or two before people reach retirement age, unless you happen to be a senile old judge. And both government and the courts turn a blind eye to this form of discrimination.
    2
  9978. Wait until the truth about the continuing excess deaths finally becomes well known!
    2
  9979. It's Putin's generals who have their finger on the button, not him. I doubt they are willing to risk seeing everyone they love and care about annihilated just to keep a frightened little man in power.
    2
  9980. I'm truly sick of hearing how ULEZ hurts the poorest. For most people a car is a LUXURY which they don't need, and would be financially much better off without! My father cycled to work right up to his retirement. The rest of us also walked, cycled or used public transport.
    2
  9981. Retirez les deux pierres et le pilier, avec un couteau émoussé.
    2
  9982. Once again notice how, in complete contrast to fabricated Russian MoD videos, you see targets being hit.
    2
  9983. @Mark B As those of us who understand these things are sick of explaining to people like you, antibodies are only part of immunity. Antibodies disappear when they are not needed, but memory B and T cells remain, to regenerate them again. As for more antibodies is better, that's a bit like saying if a bowl of water can put out a trash can fire then taking a fire hose to it would be better. NO!
    2
  9984. Give the other prisoners access to him!
    2
  9985. YouTube has lots of bots dedicated to removing anything that questions the safety of Covid vaccines!
    2
  9986. Surely this mother knows that the BBC supports criminals, illegal migrants and terrorists?
    2
  9987. Except that one might feel a bit sorry for the fish.
    2
  9988. Just how many gullible idiots really believe that most of these people were killed by covid-19. Mind you, they do say that there's a sucker born every minute.
    2
  9989. It's easy to be wise after the event, but if something like this has been foreseen for years why weren't Ukrainian pilots trained to fly western fighters years ago, so that they could have simply got into a cockpit of one painted in Ukrainian colours and kicked some Russian arse. While one can understand not supplying aircraft from Poland, surely a month is sufficient to have put a few pilots through an intensive training course in a NATO country and painted a few fighter jets.
    2
  9990. Are we seeing a significantly higher number of people ending up in hospital, or dying, because of this variant? No we are not! So it's time to end all the Chicken Little panic. There is no strong scientific or statistical evidence to show that ANY variant is significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have are the frightened speculations of snowflakes.
    2
  9991. Just imagine what would happen if NATO and the West succumbed to Putin's nuclear blackmail. He would use the threat again and again. But it would not be used just by him. China's new emperor Xi, and the monkey in North Korea, would also use this tactic.
    2
  9992. The lives of ordinary Russian people have always been very cheap.
    2
  9993. Is anyone really in the least surprised by this? Russia's listed war crimes runs into the tens of thousands!
    2
  9994. Just made an almost identical comment. Having worked for the Home Office I KNOW how unbelievably lazy most of them are.
    2
  9995. Women kept out of education and jobs: and out of sight. So all those none too bright inadequate men can now feel a bit better about themselves.
    2
  9996. Putin may be isolated, making it difficult for our would be Brutus to get to him. But staying with the analogy we should also remember that the Praetorian guard dispatched 13 Emperors.
    2
  9997. Either teach them to run very fast or say "I surrender" in Ukrainian.
    2
  9998. Putin is about as interested in peace as the Pope is in becoming a Muslim. All Putin wants is sufficient pause to rearm and rebuild his army. Then he will once again attack his neighbours with even more viciousness. For the sake of many millions of people, let's not give him a chance to do this.
    2
  9999. How many Royal Navy ships are patrolling the channel, and how many drones are being used to watch it? I'm betting a big fat zero. If in WW II we could defend our shores against the Luftwaffe and German navy then we can definitely now defend them against people in rubber boats. But TTK WANTS these people to keep coming.
    2
  10000. Isn't it amazing how for what Russia describes as "minor damage" that Putin has gone even more berserk than usual. This leads one to suspect that, in reality, this Black Sea fleet attack really gave Russia a damn good arse kicking, yet again.
    2
  10001. Time to use some of those cached explosives on vaccination centres?
    2
  10002. For most people abortion is a religious issue. The problem is that ALL religion is superstitious nonsense, and therefore should have no place in lawmaking!
    2
  10003. Not a party because there was no alcohol. This just shows the level of contempt ministers have for those they are elected to serve. So the Mormons I used to know never had any parties, and neither did all of the Muslims in this country? They would heartily disagree!
    2
  10004. For the time being Russia is dealing with this by hiding the true number of casualties from the general population.
    2
  10005. This is rather like Mussolini condemning the killing of Hitler, if that had happened.
    2
  10006. And YouTube is pulling out all the stops to help in this coverup!
    2
  10007. It's also way past time that the practice of sandwiching a non-strike day between strike days was talked about, AND STOPPED. Even those who aren't too bright know that services on the sandwiched day are close to being useless. So employers should be legally required to regard such days as strike days and not pay wages for them.
    2
  10008. One can trace the cause of these troubles back to at least New Year's Eve 2015 when around 1200 young German women were sexually assaulted in Cologne, and the government did all it could to cover up the fact that those who did it were a particular type of migrant.
    2
  10009. I have a chemistry degree. Do you? Unless this soldier has been prompted the "covering with a lot of soil" sounds very much like white phosphorus.
    2
  10010. Dr. John certainly seems to be one of the very few sources of any positive news. The UK media seems to jump on the flimsiest bit of bad news, but goes out of it's way to avoid publishing much better substantiated good news. There's been no mention that long term immunity is now extremely likely, or that the death rate now appears to be comparable to that in a bad flu season. So much for an independent press. It looks very much as if UK media is part of the government propaganda machine that aims to scare people as much as possible so that they will be obedient.
    2
  10011. Correct. The main cause is the insane and totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, over a virus that only ever posed a threat to about 3 in 1000 people!
    2
  10012. Try finding a single room or going on a self-guided walking holiday, by yourself. Then you will see who is really discriminated against. I don't expect couples to be discriminated against, but neither do I think it's at all fair to give them special treatment.
    2
  10013. Rules clearly displayed on the wall!
    2
  10014. Our woke society is far to tolerant towards drug fiends. They should be rounded up, interred on a remote island and forced to go cold turkey. Those with mental issues who pose a risk to themselves or the community should not be released.
    2
  10015. Spot on. Anyone who pays to see a tournament from which Novak is excluded is a mug.
    2
  10016.  @ashyclaret  Yes, it's said that this could have been avoided if all the allies had dumped tons of high explosive on Germany, when Hitler started getting aggressive. This is how Iran should now be dealt with, BEFORE they develop nuclear weapons, and use them against Israel, as they definitely will.
    2
  10017. Welcome to a global economy that only really works well for the very rich. Steel from abroad might appear cheaper, but is this really the case when the cost of paying benefits to all those put out of work is factored in: and there are other costs as well.
    2
  10018. Now do what was done in the UK and ask how many who had no underlying health issues died. The number will drop by a factor of about 7 or 8. If you then ask how many of these were under 65 you may well find NONE left!
    2
  10019. Being in the EU gave people in member states the right to seek work in other countries. It DID NOT give them the right to beg on our streets and form pickpocket gangs working our underground and West End. These people, in full compliance with EU law, should have been quickly deported, and the Big Issue closed down for helping them. The vote was finely balanced and would have gone the other way if successive governments had bothered to protect British citizens from people who shouldn't have been here.
    2
  10020. Does the UN really not understand that, like the League of Nations, nobody takes the slightest bit of notice of them anymore? They are just a waste of our taxes.
    2
  10021. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.
    2
  10022. If Iran was nuked off the face of the earth most countries would breath a sigh of relief!
    2
  10023. Others, myself included, have made the same observation. The worst part is that it's probably true.
    2
  10024. Rather than having a purge on boilers, more greenhouse gas reductions would result from making sure all properties were well insulated. Also improving public transport and reducing its cost, so that less people drive would have a bigger impact.
    2
  10025. We need policemen on the streets to stop and check kids who are not at school, and their parents need to be fined and/or have their benefits stopped.
    2
  10026. The question is could Putin get enough North Korean troops to seriously deplete Ukrainian forces, and thus turn his failing invasion around. Putting NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine when send a clear message that this won't be allowed to happen. I expect that even Kim Jung Un would then be reluctant to supply troops.
    2
  10027. Hopefully letting Putin take Crimea has taught them the futility of such appeasement.
    2
  10028. With a Polish father, I'm so glad this selfish coward wasn't running the show in 1939. People like him are a disgrace to any freedom loving, democratic family. I sincerely hope he doesn't have any kids. What a disgusting, pathetic excuse for a man!
    2
  10029. That's Hunt with a C, isn't it?
    2
  10030. I don't particularly like Hunt, but the truth is that people who lend money want to be certain that it will be paid back, and this applies equally well to governments or people. Anyone who applies for credit knows that the more reliable you are perceived to be the more likely you are to get the loan, and the lower the interest on it is going to be. What Truss did was like walking into a very staid bank and telling the manager she didn't have a job or property and wanted a large loan to blow on booze, drugs and 24/7 partying. Hunt now needs to undo this bad perception of Britain.
    2
  10031. Good practice for hitting hospitals and kindergartens.
    2
  10032. NATO is only helping a sovereign power defend itself, and has no intention of taking the battle into Russian territory. This would all end tomorrow if the Orcs were pulled out of Ukraine: including Crimea.
    2
  10033. Not to worry. There are now thousands of sellers offering fake vaccine certificates at very reasonable prices: much cheaper than even a PCR test.
    2
  10034. Is there any despotic dictator that Trump is prepared to man up to?
    2
  10035. It's down to CORRUPTION, my friend. Too much money filtered off to "consultant" friends. Too many contracts awarded to mates companies, rather than those most qualified to do the job. Then far too many managers who actually hinder those doing the real work. This has always been the British way, even in private industry. Thirty odd years ago I had to throw out around £50,000 worth of work done by a company who had been given the job on the recommendation of their supposedly independent consultant friend.
    2
  10036. "looking good" The Chicken Taco thinks his chances of a Nobel Peace Prize, which is the ONLY think he cares about, are getting better.
    2
  10037. Maybe I was blissfully ignorant and very lucky, but I found this mountain a doodle. It must have been around 35 years ago. It was a snowy Easter and I went up, via the Devil's Ladder, just after the holiday weekend ended. I had the mountain all to myself and can remember enjoying the view across the snow covered Reeks.
    2
  10038. Anyone with half a brain knows that Putin's promises are absolutely worthless. No matter what happens, there will not be lasting peace, for anyone, unless this rabid psychopath is "removed" from power.
    2
  10039. God give Scholz a backbone and a conscience.
    2
  10040. How many spineless woke governments have we heard this from, for several decades now? Maybe, at 65, I'm looking back with rose tinted spectacles, but I'm fairly certain that when I was in my late teens and twenties we didn't worry that going out in the evening would mean we ended up getting stabbed. Am I the only one who puts this down to government and police now caring far too much about the rights and well-being of vicious criminals?
    2
  10041. Why has it become the norm to feel sorry for people who don't want to pay their debts?
    2
  10042. But most of the British electorate are too stupid to understand this!
    2
  10043. It's also disgusting that he hasn't been charged with the criminal offence of fraud.
    2
  10044. With the Orc's Black Sea fleet out of the way, my biggest question is why the Kerch Bridge is still open for business.
    2
  10045. Agreed! This just goes to show how thick and corrupt most EU politicians are.
    2
  10046. While this is certainly not what most parents would wish for their kids, lets be honest. It can be vastly more lucrative than most jobs. Also, being honest, nobody would say that being a dog's body in an office or shop is rewarding.
    2
  10047. What a great video: like watching a turkey shoot. And the best part is that the vehicles were moving which means some nicely roasted Orcs.
    2
  10048. So, now, do most of the schmucks who voted for him!
    2
  10049. Anyone supporting Hamas who can be deported should be deported, immediately!
    2
  10050. I hope all those getting vaccinated have read about the 21 people in Norway, a couple of days ago, who DIED after being vaccinated. BBC didn't put this on their 6pm or 10pm TV news? Why am I not surprised?
    2
  10051. LMAO. All the sheep thought that if they got 2 injections then the despots would let them get on with their lives. But, surprise, surprise, when you give a despot an inch he will take a mile. I wonder how many of these schmucks really believe that 3 injections will be the end of it. I'm betting that in a few months it will be jab number 4. In fact, as these so-called vaccines only seem to work for about 10 weeks, I won't be surprised if they try to line up the sheep for another jab every couple of months.
    2
  10052. Well done that dad. When a girl has had enough of a creep he needs to leave her alone!
    2
  10053. I know I'd like to do something really anti-social to Johnson and Hancock.
    2
  10054. Even in the best Western democracy a very good rule of thumb is to never trust your government without seeking independent verification of what they are saying.
    2
  10055. Rather like Putin fanboys.
    2
  10056. On this Trump did absolutely the right thing. If only the feral (not a typo) judge could also be deported. The UK government should follow his example: and the vast majority would support them in it.
    2
  10057. Looking at the protests in France, it's amazing that Brits let our bent politicians raise pension ages without so much as a whimper. I also wonder if French people would have allowed Rich Boy Sunak to renege on the "triple lock" last year.
    2
  10058. Its a pity that these MPs weren't prepared to defend people's freedoms against Downing Street's tyranny, nearly as strongly as they are prepared to defend their second jobs. A pity, but not in the least surprising.
    2
  10059. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news. This means that it will quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.
    2
  10060. Ah, but you had the right priorities, as did my poor parents.
    2
  10061. So some animal breaks a policewoman's nose and isn't even charged. But, yet again, someone is jailed for hurty words.
    2
  10062. Why didn't these wives, and their husbands, show the same concern for murdered Ukrainian women and children, much earlier on? They richly deserve what's now happening to them.
    2
  10063. Even the most casual glance reveals that most of those on this march are not British. They do not belong in this country and, for the sake of those who do, they need to be deported.
    2
  10064. Time to start teaching kids Mandarin instead of French?
    2
  10065. Nobody will mourn the loss of civil servants. Making them come into the office instead of dosing around at home would go some way to getting an honest day's work out of them.
    2
  10066. People who willingly go hiking in such extreme conditions ought to be made to pay the cost of their rescue!
    2
  10067. That's why Emperor Xi and wannabe tsar Putin are good mates. They are both vicious psychopaths.
    2
  10068. What Angela Rayner is too thick to understand is that under Sharia Law she wouldn't last 5 minutes!
    2
  10069. They will be positively welcomed into the UK!
    2
  10070. I don't think most people know just how many uninhabited islands we have that could be used to CHEAPLY house illegal migrants in Nissen huts. This would be a very real deterrent to small boats. The majority of people in this country are outraged at an average of £40,000 per year being spent on each illegal to keep them in plush hotels. This is a reward rather than a deterrent!
    2
  10071. ​ @jsemplefelton5348  Thanks for making me laugh. It seems that the only ones who aren't granted legal aid are those who genuinely deserve it.
    2
  10072. Nice try Putin fanboy.
    2
  10073. Does Zelensky really not understand that if such attacks elicited similar attacks on Moscow and St. Petersburg then the attacks on Ukrainian cities might not be happening?
    2
  10074. In Enfield Town M&S have had to permanently close a really convenient exit because of shoplifters.
    2
  10075. A lot of time wasters visit GPs, so a £10 fee for each visit that isn't a subsequent follow up one asked for by the GP would help a lot. Also, we need to farm out the vast number of nut jobs clogging up GP surgeries to shrinks.
    2
  10076.  @brianpotter3870  The £10 fee would do this without tying up receptionists time.
    2
  10077. Don't hold you breath waiting for MSM to give any serious air time to this people's inquiry. Millions have been spent on lawyers to make sure that they did a really good whitewash for BOTH the government and their MSM cronies. Sadly, the vast majority have bought it.
    2
  10078. I'll never understand most people's obsession with privacy. Unless Kate has had something like a colostomy I find it impossible to understand why she cares about keeping her medical records secret.
    2
  10079. Only in Bonkers Britain could one choose to release criminals onto our streets rather than deporting foreign criminals!
    2
  10080. Let's remind people of Boris's earlier promise about irrevocable steps, when he laid out the roadmap for coming out of lockdown. Maybe all the Partygate drinking has made him forget what "irrevocable" means. Even the most stupid must now understand the terrible price we are paying for lockdowns, which were NOT EFFECTIVE. Lockdowns must most definitely be ruled out, and people need to make it clear that they will NEVER be accepted again!
    2
  10081.  @user-mf9wg6jq5f  Using people who chose to join the army is one thing. Forcing others to fight, especially when it isn't necessary, is a very different matter. People will be a lot braver about opposing Putin when their children's lives are on the line.
    2
  10082. Sunak was just completely useless, but Starmer is actually dangerous!
    2
  10083. We don't have to actually give the jets to Ukraine, because there are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots who would give their eye teeth to be sent on missions to clear the Ukrainian skies of Putin's Orcs.
    2
  10084.  @kingpest13  That's exactly my thinking.
    2
  10085. Once again YouTube removing comments suggesting other ways of disabling these boats.
    2
  10086. Asking this is a bit like asking why a mad rabid dog bit a particular person.
    2
  10087. We no longer have the Great White Hunter, as shooting endangered species in Africa is no longer acceptable. However I would like to replace those lions and tigers with rabid animals that the world really would be better off without. There should be a list of Muslim fundamentalists, including Iran's leaders and those who support them, that hunters can go and track down and kill. Furthermore, depending on how rabid, and difficult to get at, the animal is, there should be bounties paid for confirmed kills. Many, many millions of us would be happy to contribute towards these bounties.
    2
  10088. An awful lot of people in Belarus are waiting for that small balance to tip so that they can take the Fat Dictator out and lynch him. Only SOME of the army is keeping him in power, now that Putin can't spare too many Russian soldiers. As this shows a lot of the army aren't on his side either. If Putin's puppet is removed it will be very humiliating and destabilising for him.
    2
  10089. Not toilet training your child is CHILD ABUSE. Such kids should not be admitted to school and the parents responsible for such serious negligence should be severely punished.
    2
  10090. Don't forget the free shower.
    2
  10091. Well, if the bailiffs had the simple sense to stop people providing them with food and water then they would have come out ages ago.
    2
  10092. I still say having POW style camps on remote windswept Scottish islands would have been a lot cheaper, and a bigger deterrent.
    2
  10093. Ah, but that might lead to evidence incriminating our government and others.
    2
  10094. Nana, let's be honest about this. Boxing shouldn't be allowed at all. Look at the fuss we make about Rugby players, and footballers heading the ball. In this context it's totally illogical to allow boxing.
    2
  10095. Lavrov is much easier to get to than Putin. This vile excuse for a human being really ought to be taken out!
    2
  10096. That threat is getting very old. Macron's suggestion that Putin won't be allowed the victory that is now absolutely existential to him has got him really scared. So he is blabbering like a man on the way to the scaffold desperately trying to save his skin. I wonder how many of those in the hall where he made his rant are genuinely willing to see their families and loved ones nuked just to save Putin.
    2
  10097. Most of the world now understands that climate change is very real and could have devastating consequences. Denying what you don't want to hear doesn't make it go away. In New Zealand there's a saying: "when a Kiwi crossed the ditch the average IQ of both countries goes up".

  10098. These staff need the pro-bono services of an honest lawyer. Many of them almost certainly now have natural immunity. A massive and highly regarded Israeli study shows that this is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. It also found no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. An American law professor very recently won a court case based on exactly this. Of course, there's also the common sense matter of this sector being chronically under staffed. So driving out more of them will cause far more damage than accepting people's right to refuse vaccination.
    2
  10099. As many of us have said from the start, these pro-Palestinian protests are actually pro-Hamas and should have been banned months ago. This country has changed beyond all recognition. About 30 years ago, in Leeds, there where some nut jobs holding an anti-American protest. As I walked by I shouted out "God bless America". This put a big smile on quite a few of those policing the demo.
    2
  10100. Not even one! He died WITH this variant. He almost certainly was admitted to hospital with something else.
    2
  10101. But most of us, if allowed to vote on it wouldn't go along with the government's harebrained Rwanda scheme, so democracy is being protected: from a government that is completely out of touch with the majority of people in this country.
    2
  10102.  @madaleinelee1011  If you like and respect this creature then you probably also admire Hitler and Stalin.
    2
  10103. But not as pathetic as cowardly little Putin.
    2
  10104. Another anti-Semite talking complete crap.
    2
  10105. Recent reputable research has shown that lockdowns were completely ineffective. So the only thing to be sorry about is not prioritising the economy even more.
    2
  10106. Well just a look at this POW shows that he comes from somewhere very far from Moscow: and that his life counts as nothing for Putin. When are most of the regions in the Russia Federation going to realise that to Moscow they are nothing more than places with resources, and an expendable population, to be exploited for all they are worth? There has never been a better time, while Moscow is much weakened, to secede from the evil empire. Such a golden opportunity may never come again!
    2
  10107. While some people do enter politics in order to serve and make the world a better place, there are plenty whose aspirations are far less noble. One only has to look at those in Downing Street to realise that wealth and power are what attracts many. I'd be very nervous about staking my life on a single cabinet minister having service to his/her fellow citizens as their main motivation.
    2
  10108. Absolutely. This is a very serious crime.
    2
  10109. Some pensioners are SLIGHTLY better off because when they were working they didn't own flash cars, eat out several times a week, and go on expensive foreign holidays. My parents didn't do any of these things. Should pensioners now be punished for being prudent? And often any savings are held as insurance in case medical treatment is needed, so they don't have to wait years for it or not get it at all. I've had two very time consuming root canals followed by zirconia crowns on back molars. The NHS would have pulled these teeth!
    2
  10110. No, all things happening because of the monkeys that support Putin.
    2
  10111. None of us have a problem with trans or gay people. What we have a problem with is them trying to ram their values down other people's throats!
    2
  10112. Of course the greedy lawyers don't want this. It's going to deprive them of shed loads of money.
    2
  10113. Except that this would never have happened, and the Covid-19 deaths were exaggerated by a factor of 4 or 5. Sorry, but if you get run over by a bus 27 days after testing positive for Covid it's really not on attributing that death to Covid.
    2
  10114. I've just made exactly the same point.
    2
  10115. More than this, I think Boris will be remembered as the most dishonest and duplicitous PM this country has ever had. He might also be the thickest.
    2
  10116. Maybe he's promised daddy that he will introduce blasphemy laws and Sharia courts?
    2
  10117. FFS if it's over US airspace just shoot it down!
    2
  10118. So let me get this right. At the same time as we are putting illegal migrants, who have done nothing for this country, up in 4 or 5 star hotels, that most of us can't afford to stay in, we are kicking people who have served this country out of their homes.
    2
  10119. Does anyone who isn't mentally enfeebled believe anything Putin says?
    2
  10120. Come on folks, this is really very funny. Think of all those millions of schmucks swallowing the scaremongering hook, line and sinker. But those spreading the fear didn't believe a word of it. Party on dude!
    2
  10121. Reasonable force is leaving the criminal incapable of repeating his attack!
    2
  10122. Yeah right, and they will be forced to stand to attention and sing "God Save the King" before starting the cleanup. Years ago the was virtually zero anti social behaviour in the Isle of Man. This was because they had the BIRCH. That's how you stop anti social behaviour. Do this, remove the yobs' anonymity, and televise the punishment and I 100% guarantee that there will be a precipitous drop in such behaviour.
    2
  10123. What about questioning Hezbollah's "tactics"?
    2
  10124. He didn't die of covid. He died of old age.
    2
  10125. No doubt they also heard people speaking Vulcan and Klingon.
    2
  10126. Several reports state that for every dead Ukrainian hero 7 filthy Orcs are eradicated.
    2
  10127. Captured Orcs, who didn't surrender very willingly, ought to be used to clear these mines.
    2
  10128. Yes, Josef Goebbels would have been immensely proud if this government's scaremongering had been one of his campaigns. Indeed, the way they have used fear bears an uncanny resemblance to the way the Nazis manipulated their population in 1930s Germany. The danger of this virus to the vast majority of people has been grossly exaggerated. Also the government have, contrary to all evidence, repeatedly supported the lie that recovered people aren't immune: they most certainly are. Why is it that we don't see any news featuring distraught Swedes. The BBC would certainly broadcast this with the utmost relish. But the fact is that what Sweden is doing works. It's way past time that we copied this.
    2
  10129. Before Trump came along NATO was expanding. Now it's looking like all Putin's Christmases have come at once. Trump is going to let Putin take as much of Ukraine as he wants, and maybe break up NATO too. I'm just waiting for Trump to receive his "Hero of the Russian Federation" medal from Putin.
    2
  10130. I bet Starmer is secretly very grateful for the opportunity to expel Diane Abbot from the Labour party, because she frightened off a lot of people that would otherwise vote Labour.
    2
  10131. When it comes to screwing those who elected them Irish politicians make our MPs look like choir boys. It's been this way in Ireland for a long time.
    2
  10132. And Dr. Mengele is doing cartwheels of joy over the hot coals of hell!
    2
  10133. I gather that the oldest Ukrainians are saying that Russian occupation is far worse than what they endured under the Nazis in WW II. But this isn't at all surprising when one remembers that in WW II the Russians butchered 20,000 Polish officers at Katyn: just one of many atrocities. Russia hasn't changed since then!
    2
  10134. Who would ever have expected Trump to tell a lie?
    2
  10135.  @chriswoods662  Then they have no choice but to fight.
    2
  10136. The protest being smaller is nothing to be thankful about. It means that the Nazi government and its Gestapo police's intimidation is working. If people aren't prepared to fight to take their freedom back they will lose it forever. I'll bet that most of those so called anti-vaxers have previously willingly paid, out of their own pocket, for things like typhoid vaccinations. But, not being complete morons, they don't want a rushed through vaccine that has been very tested, and that they don't need.
    2
  10137. Putin is very far from the first psychopathic nut job to liken himself to this tsar.
    2
  10138. Truss was brought down by her own intense stupidity!
    2
  10139. We seem to be witnessing a pandemic of fascism among governments. All over the world we seem to be witnessing the rise of the 4th Reich, with people having their freedom and liberty trampled on by the governments that are meant to serve them. I'm sorry to say this, but I really do believe that in order to stop this a few politicians are going to have to be assassinated in order to remind the rest that they cannot butt-rape our democracies with impunity.
    2
  10140. When one thinks of rural Russians one thinks of the film deliverance. Those who aren't inbreeding are worrying farmyard animals. No wonder they support Putin.
    2
  10141. If his fellow refused then why didn't this soldier also refuse?
    2
  10142. Angela Rayner told the truth, and one should never have to apologise for doing this. I'm not a fan of the Labour party, but at least I'm honest about the kind of people we now have in Downing Street, and the kind of people who support them.
    2
  10143. "early reopening", "we've had high rates of infection" In other words, contrary to government lies, it's rock solid NATURAL IMMUNITY that is making the difference.
    2
  10144. People should never have complied with any of this nonsense. FFS this is a virus that is harmless to over 99%.
    2
  10145. They were until Dutch Gestapo police started teargassing and turning water cannons on PEACEFUL protestors. Plenty of old videos show this.
    2
  10146. Let's make it extinct, so that it can't ever become effective again!
    2
  10147. "A deadly serious crisis" - Bollocks! This is a virus that only kills between 1 and 2 in 1000. To stand a half-decent chance of being one of them you need to be very old and/or very sick. Now why is it, at a healthy 63, that I'm not scared in the least?😉
    2
  10148. Never mind the backlog. Sunak is useless, and Rwanda is a pathetic joke. But if Starmer gets into power the present flow of illegal immigrants into the UK will seem like a mere trickle compared to the flood that he will precipitate. We're well into the eleventh hour, but we might yet save Britain if people vote Reform UK. It's the only right and sensible thing to do.
    2
  10149. One of the definitions of insanity is repeating the same mistake over and over again. Emperor Xi certainly passes this test with flying colours.
    2
  10150. ​ @lukmankarlia8058  Maybe not impossible, but extremely unlikely. This is why some countries insist on Yellow Fever vaccinations: they stop the spread. But if you are mentally feeble enough to trust what Downing Street tells you then it's probably pointless trying to explain anything to you.
    2
  10151. This is message that the Russian people need to hear loud and clear. All this can end tomorrow if Putin and his so-called "strong men" are removed.
    2
  10152. Why was this creature given a visa?
    2
  10153. Am I the only one who thinks the government wants to keep the nation (well the idiots in it) in a perpetual state of fear?
    2
  10154. So Nazi rule has finally come to the UK. Young people, for whom covid-19 poses negligible risk, are going to be forced into vaccination if they want to live the normal life of people their age. If the government is allowed to get away with this we will see it expanded more and more. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES!.
    2
  10155. Here's Step One for the de-occupation of Crimea. Put Putin's beloved Kerch bridge properly out of action, for good. And who knows, the serious and very public embarrassment might just be the final straw that sees him "removed" from power.
    2
  10156. Some of these special forces need to go under cover and start taking out infrastructure in Moscow!
    2
  10157. Putin has sent them on a "special scuba operation".
    2
  10158. It's pathetic isn't it. Even before the vaccines this was a virus that killed well under 1%, but now almost all the vulnerable have been vaccinated. Those who want any of the restrictions to continue are among the most craven cowards that ever crawled out from under a stone.
    2
  10159. Absolutely correct!
    2
  10160. What I really love about British law is how illogical it can be at times. If you were to ask why police carry tasers or truncheons the response would be that it was in order to defend themselves against criminals intent on doing them harm. Well guess what? Criminals don't say "pretty please" to those who aren't policemen. This is why you don't get such insane laws in the USA. They recognise that people have a right to have the means to protect themselves.
    2
  10161. Circuit-breaker? More like business or job breaker. Is Omicron actually hospitalising or killing anyone, or are the hospital admissions we are seeing just the normal seasonal ones due to colds and flu: but being blamed on Omicron. Those begging for more restrictions aren't the ones who are going to see their jobs destroyed, or their kids' education and mental health buggered to hell, even more. There may be more infections, but this IS an EXTREMELY MILD variant, and the snowflakes need to top their pathetic whining.
    2
  10162. "Putin will retaliate" - Does ranting and crying count as retaliation? Putin couldn't even defend Kursk!
    2
  10163. What's so funny about African countries supporting Putin is that, he regards their inhabitants in exactly the same way that Adolf Hitler did.
    2
  10164. We shouldn't even be having this conversation. Evolution has expended a lot of resources in developing the ability of people, and many other animals, to recognise faces, and facial expressions. This wouldn't have happened without good reason. It is very important for people to be able to see each others faces.
    2
  10165. Just a casual glance at this river is enough to tell anyone with a modicum of intelligence that the chance of a sober person falling in and not being able to extricate themselves is very, very small. If this is the best that Lancashire police can come up with then their detectives must be very thick.
    2
  10166. With the very serious levels of CORRUPTION in Indian society, don't hold your breath waiting for improvements.
    2
  10167. I'd be amazed if it weren't quite a bit more than 80%.
    2
  10168. Here are a few things that would help unclog the system. Charge people at least £30 for calling an ambulance, and £10 for a doctor's appointment. This really helps in other countries that have free health systems, as it massively cuts down on abuse.
    2
  10169. Considering the damage done in just 6 months, imagine how much more can be done in the remaining 4½ years. At all ports of entry to the UK Dante's injuncture should be prominently displayed: "Abandon all hope ye who enter here"
    2
  10170. Because it's the RIGHT thing to do!
    2
  10171. Most of the Russian MoD videos we see are in reality drills.
    2
  10172. Those who want to keep restrictions are cowardly selfish scum. A closer look would, without doubt, show that the restrictions they want to keep don't affect them in the least: or even make their own lives more pleasant.
    2
  10173. Has this country really fallen so far that we are prepared to let fundamentalist Muslims and anti-Semites threaten our schools. Get the people who are doing this out of OUR country.
    2
  10174. Make no mistake. Russia is hurting badly. That's why it's been around 2 months between cruise missile attacks on Ukraine. If we ratchet up support for Ukraine, rather than reduce it, we can break Russia, once and for all.
    2
  10175. Trump didn't do many things right, but he was spot on when he stopped WHO funding.
    2
  10176. The sheep need to be lined up at the abattoir!
    2
  10177. This is a BAD soldier who was meant to stay at the airport and get on a plane. Let the North Koreans do whatever they want with him!
    2
  10178. ​ @Cornz38  Yes, those with disabilities might need a car, as do many tradespeople. But the vast majority don't.
    2
  10179. ​ @bengraves4724  The categories you mention need their cars, but they are definitely a minority. I've never been to a place like Starbucks as I'm not stupid enough to pay £5 or so for a cup of tea or coffee: that's more than a week's healthy breakfast costs me.
    2
  10180. Orcs are being liberated from their lives.🤣
    2
  10181. So true. Why should my taxes be used to encourage them to have litters?
    2
  10182. So that brings it to £155m. Am I the only one thinking that for a fraction of this cost facilities could be set up to keep these people on a remote Scottish island that is either sparsely populated, or not populated at all. St. Kilda comes to mind. There would be no do-gooder supreme court judges able to block this because they didn't like the foreign government. But, best of all, this would be a big deterrent.
    2
  10183.  @stevec6427  Then I'm surprised they haven't pushed hard to rent it out to the government.
    2
  10184. It is absolutely unbelievable that in this day and age any Met officer isn't aware that Hezbollah is a proscribed terrorist organisation. Far from being disinterested in politics, these officers made a deliberate, and very political, decision not to take action against an illegal demonstration.
    2
  10185. Sorry, I'm a strong supporter of Israel, but would anyone want to claim responsibility for this strike? According to all accounts so far it was more like a slap with a feather?
    2
  10186. We don't actually have to "supply" the jets to Ukraine, just let our own pilots fly them on missions. There is no shortage of American, British, and Polish fighter pilots straining at the leash for the opportunity to rid Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    2
  10187. Governments, and the MSM that support them, are going to continue pulling together to fight all suggestions that lockdowns and the vaccination of most people were very damaging, rather than necessary.
    2
  10188. Dictator Macron is relying on people getting tired, calming down, and forgetting. This mustn't happen.
    2
  10189. Most of them aren't pro-Palestinian, they are pro-Hamas anti-Semites!
    2
  10190. This might have exactly the OPPOSITE to the desired effect! It could drive China closer to Russia, and by isolating China from the rest of the world might well encourage the pursuit of more aggressive policies: towards Taiwan, for example.
    2
  10191. I guess the nut jobs are going to keep buying out the eggs in Lidl then.
    2
  10192. That's why Russia must also be driven out of Crimea!
    2
  10193. Unfortunately there's little chance of ever immunising your average Aussie against stupidity, and mass hysteria.
    2
  10194. I was heartened when the security guard at a store I regularly shop at told me that he intends to vote for Reform UK. I hope this is indicative of most ordinary people. Being forced to choose between the Tories and Labour is like being forced to choose between the guy who is going to flay you alive, and the one who will impale you Vlad style!
    2
  10195. Maybe it's no coincidence that there are so many Turks in Germany, and that Turkey is a top tourist destination for Germans.
    2
  10196. I trust there's at least one crispy fried Orc inside and they didn't manage to flee when the tank stopped.
    2
  10197. When it comes to the Russian military, "unprofessional" is part of the job description, though I gather they are very good at washing machine removals.
    2
  10198. Meanwhile ILLEGAL migrants are being put up in 4 star hotels!
    2
  10199. We are going to see a lot more of this, and with vaccine mandates we can expect to see a lot of vaccination centres burned to the ground.
    2
  10200. Sorry Zelensky, I really support Ukraine, but with winter coming it needs to very seriously up its game. The IRA were able to destroy the NatWest Tower, with relatively limited resources. So there's no excuse for Ukraine not being able to level a few Moscow skyscrapers. And what about those thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines in Russia that can't possibly all be well defended? Then, despite the Black Sea fleet being made to retreat, there's the Kerch bridge, which is still open for business.
    2
  10201. ​ @davidjones6389  I really do hope so, because the winter pause in the previous counteroffensive was a complete disaster, that allowed the Russians to dig in and heavily fortify. I'd hate to see all that blood, sweat and tears, by heroic Ukrainian soldiers wasted.
    2
  10202. Make it a Greek comedy and Starmer would be Cleon!
    2
  10203. Imagine what would have happened if he had made this threat against a Muslim.
    2
  10204. If ECOWAS doesn't have the means for a military intervention then it shouldn't have threatened one. Not making good on your threats only weakens you and makes you look ridiculous. Just look at Putin.
    2
  10205. Sick perverted bastards belong to these unions. This is why, when I taught in the classroom, I never belonged to a teachers' union.
    2
  10206. A simple way to answer this is to ask what percentage of people in richer countries own and drive cars, when they really don't need to. Unnecessary car ownership and private motoring is a major contributor to climate change. Of course, in so many ways, the car brings in vast amounts of tax revenue, so despite all the virtuous rhetoric governments do nothing to discourage our lust for these engines of destruction.
    2
  10207. So true. I used to sell Kindle versions of my books, but due to theft I now only sell hard copies.
    2
  10208. What Wembley did was shameful. Wasn't there anyone with access to the lighting that could do the decent thing?
    2
  10209. The lockdowns and restrictions are what caused the economic problems! If people hadn't be so short-sighted and cowardly as to worry about very innocuous covid-19 then none of this would be happening. The Swedes are laughing their socks off at the rest of the world.
    2
  10210. Someone with a mask is a snowflake wanker. He pretends he's doing it for others, but really he is pissing himself about this virus.
    2
  10211. Let's just hope enough people have the courage and intelligence to vote for Reform UK rather than Labour, because Labour will kill the country!
    2
  10212. What's most notable is how the BBC hasn't mentioned the absolutely massive backlash there has been against this charity grifter who people are saying changed her name to make herself sound African. No wonder she didn't want to say where she came from.
    2
  10213. Nice to know at least one man did EXACTLY the right thing. A recruitment centre has been firebombed. Russia needs to see a lot more of this!
    2
  10214. Be happy! All these people will soon have PROPER immunity.
    2
  10215. There are a vast number of parasites on benefits who could most definitely work. Making them do so would go a long way to solving this problem, and would be a big boost to the economy. Also, it should be much harder to get paid for taking "sick" days off work.
    2
  10216. Probably something to do with the fact that they think their degree in leisure studies entitles them to be fast-tracked onto the board of directors.
    2
  10217. ​ @shaghilathar3588  I'm a sensible man who doesn't want the staring role in a real life Midnight Express.
    2
  10218. Yes, it's foolish to be horrified by mass graves of civilians, teenage girls being raped, and to want to stop more of the same happening as quickly as possible.
    2
  10219. Call me a non PC dinosaur, but if you have got a penis then you are a man, if you've had it and/or the balls cut off you are a eunuch, otherwise you are a woman.
    2
  10220. What a lovely euphemism ADHD is. Years ago we didn't make excuses for kids that were totally undisciplined and disruptive. Six of the best was a quick and effective cure!
    2
  10221. The saddest irony is that all that rain, which will be desperately needed in the summer, will probably end up in the ocean.
    2
  10222. DEPORT all three, along with their families!
    2
  10223. Just as in Sweden, immigration is destroying Ireland. A little over 30 years ago I lived there for a few months. There were almost no immigrants, and I have very fond memories of a very safe country where most people were fairly happy. I could cry at what these immigrants have done to Ireland, and my Irish mother, uncle, and aunt must be turning in their graves with sorrow. All over Europe migrants who don't fit in, and don't want to, are destroying their host countries!
    2
  10224. Well, did you really believe our government when they said getting two jabs would stop you be hassled?
    2
  10225. Like Hitler, Hamas would murder every man, woman and child if they could!
    2
  10226. What about a U-turn on Rich Boy Sunak's CHEATING of the OAPs out of their "triple lock"? They are now getting a pension rise way below the rate of inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to many OAPs would have struggled desperately!
    2
  10227. If illegal and inappropriate immigration had been "rapidly" dealt with then these riots wouldn't be happening. Starmer refuses to acknowledge the underlying cause of these riots. And you can't fix a problem that you won't accept exists! MOST people in the UK are genuinely worried about the tsunami of illegal migration, and certain groups seeming to have immunity from prosecution.
    2
  10228. If they could get away with it, most of these protestors would be waving Hamas flags and chanting Sieg Heil!
    2
  10229. Oh, another nuke threat by Putin. We must have had hundreds of them by now.
    2
  10230. Launching, which we can see, is one thing. Hitting the target, which we can't see, is quite another.
    2
  10231. Sunak is no saint, but he certainly looks like one compared to Putin.
    2
  10232. Cheated by the Russian government. Who would ever have expected that? Anyone with an IQ slightly higher than a cabbage, I'd have thought.
    2
  10233. Get the bed-blockers and the covid malingerers out of our hospitals!
    2
  10234. Neither Putin nor Kim Jung Un care how many North Korean soldiers die.
    2
  10235. With the looming Ukraine offensive, incontinent Putin is getting more desperate by the day. It's amazing that this genocidal coward still believes that by murdering women and children he can halt it.
    2
  10236. Not half as dangerous as allowing the Iranian regime to obtain nukes, which in view of the 5.5 magnitude earthquake near Fordow is now a very urgent concern.
    2
  10237. An extremely easy way to get the bigoted DUP back in Stormont would have been to allow the other parties to legislate if the DUP didn't take its seats.
    2
  10238. I really am LMAO. Millions of people crucified with incredibly severe lockdowns, and all for nothing!

  10239. It will take some time for Rocket Man's weapons to reach the front line in Ukraine. So what this means is that Ukraine needs to intensify its efforts before this happens, and not take a winter break, like it did last year: to it's very considerable cost.

  10240. I hope the judge has the courage to do the American people, and world, a massive favour and jail Trump: at least until after the election.

  10241. Am I the only one who gets the feeling that as quickly as one covid-19 boggy man is dispatched another one is thought up in order to keep the scaremongering going? First we had the death rate grossly overestimated. Then we had the lie that you could catch covid-19 again. As people got wise to these lies we seemed to have virtually every symptom you could think of being claimed as a covid-19 indicator. Now that this too has run out of steam, and is no longer frightening people, the new boggy man on the block is that an infection is going to plague you for months or even longer. I wonder what they will think up next once this stops scaring people? Yes, covid-19 is 2 or 3 times as deadly as flu. But as flu isn't that deadly who really gives a monkey's? For f**k's sake! We are not dealing with Ebola, or antibiotic resistant bubonic plague. As I've already said, only the most feeble-minded and fervent cowards worry about covid-19. Stop worrying and start living again.

  10242. Now watch lots of those frightened morons, who supported lockdowns and restrictions, start to squeal.

  10243. So true! Suella has simply given voice to what the vast majority of us KNOW. She shouldn't be sacked for speaking the TRUTH that others didn't have the guts to do.
    2
  10244. Hamas have very clearly stated their intention to repeat the atrocities of 7th October, again and again. From this the only conclusion one can draw is that those calling for a ceasefire want the terrorists to escape and repeat the butchery.
    2
  10245. Omicron is an EXTREMELY MILD variant. The only reported death in the entire world is a LIE by Bogus Boris whose actual words were that one person had "died with Omicron". Beyond any shadow of a doubt, this person was admitted into hospital for something else. In fact, in the entire world there isn't a single confirmed hospital admission due to Omicron! Any MP supporting Bogus Boris's measures is as bent and corrupt as they come!
    2
  10246. This isn't negotiation it's selling Ukraine down the river. Putin can have his peace by completely withdrawing from Ukraine, including Crimea. Anything less will have the same consequences as Chamberlain's infamous 1938 Munich negotiations, and it's Europe, not America, that will pay a heavy price. As long as Ukrainians are prepared to fight Europe must double down on its support for them.
    2
  10247. It's not migrants per se that are the problem, it's migrants from certain countries, with certain cultures and beliefs. Like so many Poles my father ended up here after the war, and my mother was from Ireland. They fully accepted British values and integrated into society. Likewise, the Chinese and Vietnamese are usually great assets to their adoptive countries. But certain other migrants are like a virulent disease. About 40 years ago I visited Sweden. What a safe and happy country it was then, but taking in the wrong sorts of migrants has caused massive damage. Then there is Ireland, where I lived for a few months around 30 years ago, another formally safe and happy country that migrants have changed almost beyond recognition. Ordinary European people are struggling to save their countries and lifestyle against total ruination!

  10251. It's way past time people got real. Why bother to get into a conversation with Hancock. No sensible person believes a word he says, or gives a damn what he says or thinks. The (excuse for a) man is a complete waste of space, and engaging with him is a complete waste of time.

  10257. Letting Iran have nukes is vastly more risky. As for whether the operation was successful, if it wasn't Iran would have been only too keen to demonstrate that America had failed.

  10258. The cast iron evidence, that politicians don't want you to see, that natural immunity is VASTLY better than vaccine induced immunity is presented here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vxe9pJRQcs&t=326s Any government that was genuinely paying attention to the science would give as much freedom, if not more, to those who have been previously infected.

  10261. How has it changed Russia? It's made it a laughing stock, with a leader who wears nappies and a bungling military.
    2
  10262. Children are still at negligible risk. Almost all will shrug off covid-19 very easily, and then have brilliant natural immunity. Don't let the Dr. Mengeles vaccinate your kids, if you love them.
    2
  10263. ​ @korkyybuchek6133  That is often very true. Decades ago while doing my PGCE at Leeds University a group of us visited a private school in the area. I still recall the deputy head telling us that far from coming from rich homes many kids' parents were taking on extra work to pay their fees, and that he even knew of one mother doing extra work as a cleaner.
    2
  10264. I'm glad it was acknowledged that both sides are lying. An obvious lie was the claim that 10,000 Russian soldiers had been killed. In supposedly free countries there should be no censorship. People have the right to make up their own minds about the veracity of reports. But the heavy censorship of covid-19 reporting shows that Western governments are just as willing to mislead.
    2
  10265. Or even raise it.

  10266. If you are not left-wing then Starmer regards you as "far-right scum".

  10267. Oh how terrible. Perhaps we should be putting up all these illegals in 5 star hotels. Maybe if the word gets out that the UK isn't the softest touch in the world we might start to have less problems. I'd like to go live in Hawaii, and I'd be able to pay my way. But you know what? We can't all go live where we want to.

  10268. It would be far more surprising if we didn't find bodies of innocent civilians who have been tortured and murdered.

  10269. "This is not our war" So let me get this right. These Africans have gone to live in a country which they expected to look after them and give them a better life. But as soon as the country needs its people to rally round they no longer want anything to do with it. And then they have the audacity to wonder why the Poles are welcoming them enthusiastically!

  10272. It doesn't matter how irrefutable the proof is that Hamas attacked the Gaza hospital. The rabid anti-Semites will never accept it.
    2
  10273. I don't like Sunak, but blaming him for the state of the economy is disingenuous. There is one overriding cause, the covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. Most people in this country who meekly accepted them share the blame. I never wore masks, or got vaccinated, and I continued to teach in person throughout, telling my students they could still come to me regardless of whether they had covid-19. If most had behaved like me then we wouldn't now be in this mess.

    2
  10277. Alternatively, Rishi Sunak needs to stop pandering to the bigoted DUP. Sinn Fein have the majority of seats, so Westminster needs to allow Stormont to function with just a quorum of about a 1/3, so that if the DUP don't take their seats they simply lose their vote on anything that is put before the house. Also, the Brexit agreement created more or less the same number of winners as losers, in business: most people in Northern Ireland are happy with it. The DUP are in the MINORITY, and shouldn't be allowed to sabotage Northern Ireland's democracy, or hold it to ransom.

  10283. Both the Tories and Labour are chasing the ethnic vote. Maybe that's why they won't get tough with the dingy boys, because it would lose them lots of votes. And don't forget there's also white woke army desperate to prove how not racist they are.
    2
  10284. All over the world, the cowardly, moronic lockdown cheerleaders have absolutely no idea of just how bad the financial hit is going to be. In the UK the government is already thinking of screwing the hell out of really poor pensioners. The minimum wage, on which most people really struggle, is over 2.5 times the state pension, yet the thieving scum in Downing Street are considering removing safeguards that will prevent it getting even worse.
    2
  10285. Desperate Putin is still trying to frighten the West and NATO. After over 18 months of trying this he would realise it won't work, if he wasn't so mentally enfeebled.
    2
  10286. This may well be true, but it ignores the fact that Hamas are barking mad rabid dogs, who don't think like most people.
    2
  10287. Well then it's just right for Putin fanboys, who are devoid of intelligence.

  10288. Dream on Putin fanboy. Better to die fighting than live under Russian occupation. Older Ukrainians will tell you that it's worse than living under the Nazis!

  10289. Rather than knocking their turbans off they should be sticking knives in these clerics, and their goons. Until this starts happening nothing is going to change in Iran.

  10290. So cut them free from the rest of the UK and let them rejoin the EU.

  10291. At that rate of attrition Russia won't have much of an army left by Christmas, and there are several regions looking for the right moment to make a break from the Russian federation.

  10292. And why should someone risk the vaccine for the sake of those who can't say no to a bag of crisp or bar of chocolate, and is too lazy to exercise?

  10296. From what I can see, around Enfield, people seem to be shrugging off these energy price rises. Petrol and diesel unaffordable? Less than a week ago there was a head to tail traffic jam the length of Southbury Road: a good half mile or more. It was quicker for me to get off the bus and walk. And then there are the coffee shops and fast food joints that are still packed. Won't pay maybe, but definitely not can't pay.

    2
  10299. Tim, one likelihood of catching covid-19 that you didn't mention is for people who have recovered from it and now have natural immunity. This is damn near zero, and these people also don't need to be vaccinated. Indeed, systemic side effects due to vaccination are much more common in this group. All this is now well established by research in highly reputable institutes: but the government hates seeing these FACTS published.
    2
  10300. I love the way a Labour council can wave their magic wand over a piece of Green Belt and magically turn it into Brown Belt. Here in North Enfield our Green Belt is the jewel in the crown, that has been enjoyed by residents for generations. Yet the Labour council is hell bent on destroying a lot of it. It wants to build on prime farmland off Hadley Road, which is definitely not Brown Belt. It also wants to lease what was White Webbs golf course to Spurs. They will then build lots of artificial football pitches and other facilities on it, thus degrading genuine Green Belt land that can later be called Brown Belt.

  10301. Like the term "Dutch Auction", I can see the expression "Russian Referendum" entering common parlance, to mean a referendum where armed soldiers turn up at your front door and make you vote, while carefully watching witch box you tick.

    2
  10305. The very sad reality now is that the NHS will only be able to offer even a fairly poor service once a great many of the sickest have died off, thus reducing the unmanageable burden that it is currently under. Most of us are praying that we don't get ill for a year or two, until the blood letting is over.

  10322. Well, would you want to be friends with someone who is a compulsive liar and cheat, and not particularly bright?
    2
  10323. Why aren't two doses effective? Why should that third dose be 70% effective? Here's my VERY WORRYING conjecture. Suppose what we are seeing with the booster isn't down to the mRNA in the vaccine, but rather the effect of the adjuvant. This puts the immune system on hair trigger alert, so to speak. In other words it's more likely to recognise something as foreign, and mount an attack on it. Now if the only thing it recognises is the sars-cov-2 virus then this is fine. However, an immune system in this state may mistakenly recognise something that it shouldn't. The result of this can be anything from a mild allergy to a life threatening autoimmune disease: which is there for life. With millions being given boosters, this is definitely something that shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

Here is a man (I use the word very loosely) who applied extreme coercion to make people get a poorly tested "vaccine" that the vast majority absolutely didn't need, and now this. The Commonwealth Games is about far more than just the money.

  10326. It's always good when a rabid dog is put down.
    2
  10327. Well the way Western Governments went totally Chicken Little and totally buggered the hell out of their countries, for a virus that kills less than 1%, would make sars-cov-2 the most cost effective weapon ever.
    2
  10328. Note how despite malaria presenting a far more serious threat, many years of development and testing were spent on this much more important vaccine, than the obscene rush to get a covid-19 vaccine out and pump it into everyone.

  10329. There are an awful lot of Noddy degrees specially for people of low intelligence. Their real purpose is to keep 10s of thousands of none too bright lecturers from begging in the street.

  10331. Just made a similar comment.
    2
  10332. You know what works far, far better, and once and for all? NATURAL IMMUNITY. In another 6 months the schmucks will be queuing up for jab number 4! Big pharma must be so happy with the way most governments are pushing vaccination: and they are even indemnified if the sh!t hits the fan.

  10334. Making the PENSION THIEF PM would be very dumb, unless the Tories want to be sure of losing the next election. Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED millions of poor OAPs out of their triple lock. Even without him STEALING what they were entitled too many would have really struggled, but Sunak made it far worse for them. OAPs voting for Sunak would be like turkeys voting for Christmas!

  10336. But most honours are down to government recommendations, and I doubt that any of the retards in Downing Street watch these videos. If they did they would hate them because, unlike the BBC, they don't suppress the good news and go out of their way to scare people shitless. I understand Dr. John's comment about anarchy. However if their was a cellar under the cabinet room, and a latter day Guy Fawkes, I suspect that a substantial fraction of the UK population would be very keen to make contributions to the cost of the gunpowder.

  10338. If Poland is attacked then NATO will wade in immediately, and any attacking Wagner and Belarusian troops would then be annihilated in a matter of just a few days at he most. But Lukashenko needs those troops in Belarus to keep him in power, because Putin is no longer in any position to send in lots of Orcs to help him.

  10339. My God what a woke country we have become. I have a confession to make. 30 years go I deliberately travelled into London to find one of the few toy shops where I could buy a Golliwog for my baby nephew. I guess that makes me a complete Nazi racist.

  10343. Here's my four-point cheap and very effective plan that WILL deter channel crossings: 1. Find a cold, wet, remote Scottish island. 2. Install lots of Nissen huts on it. 3. Transfer illegals straight there as soon as they set foot on British soil. 4. Advertise where they are being sent very well, so that illegals know what awaits them.

  10345. A high percentage of those on the street have mental health problems of one sort or another. As such they should be rounded up and and confined in a place where they can be given a shelter, a meal, and treated. And something should also be done about the rest who are on the street. But, one way or another, we shouldn't allow ANY rough sleeping or begging on our streets!
    2
  10346. Rather than saying that the Russian invasion was "provoked" by EU and NATO expansion, Farage would have been wiser to say that this gave Putin a pretext. BUT, if Putin didn't have this pretext he would undoubtedly have invented another one, and the West would have been in a much poorer position to respond to Putin's aggression.
    2
  10347. Never mind up to May. According to the UK's fairly reliable Telegraph, another Major General, and 12 of his officers, has been killed in the last 24 hours, courtesy of the new longer range weapons Ukraine is now receiving. Don't loose interest, keep sending the best weapons, and hopefully the Russian people will soon see what a complete loser their deranged, psychopathic "leader" is.
    2
  10348. And here we go. There is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that this variant is more infectious, more deadly or can circumvent the vaccines. But this PM with a classics degree wants to delay ending lockdown. Didn't those of us with a brain predict, months ago, that the government would do exactly this.
    2
  10349. At the same time as calling for direct talks, Putin has rejected a 30 day ceasefire. Does this look like a man who is even remotely interested in peace? The sole purpose of such talks is to delay any further sanctions or actions against Russia.
    2
  10350. A sensible choice. I'll never understand why a dump like Liverpool was given this status: good thing it's now been removed.

    2
  10358. Spence is clearly an idiot. Expanding the borders of an organisation doesn't have to have to mean it's not defensive. This expansion is being done at the specific request of these two countries. NATO has not pressured them to join. And yes, in a way they did need to join. An expanded NATO is the exact opposite of Putin's known aims. This decreases his credibility, and makes it more likely he, and his so-called "strong men" will be "removed". If this happens the chance of peace is massively increased.
    2
  10359. The police were too busy persecuting women holding peaceful vigils or those not wearing a face nappy.

  10360. "Extremely hesitant" is extremely diplomatic. Because of its dependency on Russian gas, Germany's relationship with Putin is like that of a crack addict with his drug dealer.

  10361. Macron side-stepped the democratic process by pushing through these reforms without a vote, because he knew he didn't have the support of the majority, which is how democracy works. When people see the democratic process trampled on is it any wonder they protest violently. What's the alternative?
    2
  10362. You are so right about other mainstream media ignoring this: and so much more. I read that at one point the convoy stretched 45 miles. That's like having a protest that stretched all the way from the centre of London to Reading! There's no way that mainstream media can legitimately claim that this isn't very newsworthy. News, that would be uncomfortable for governments, being suppressed and censored is extremely bad for democracy, because people's decisions are heavily influenced by knowing what's going on.
    2
  10363. Does anyone with the smallest amount of intelligence expect honesty and trustworthiness from Putin?
    2
  10364. Well, Scholz isn't just afraid, he's pants-wetting terrified!
    2
  10365. Those vaccine mandates basically tore up and burnt the rule book on medical ethics. Three key points: 1. These vaccines were definitely not properly tested. There was absolutely no way of knowing whether there might be any medium or long term effects. 2. For most groups of people it was well known that the risks posed by Covid were miniscule. Medical ethics clearly states that any treatment must substantially benefit the patient: rather than just third parties. 3. Several very large studies showed that natural immunity after infection was both very robust and long lasting. People were lied to about this indisputable fact.
    2
  10366. Just get rid of most private cars!
    2
  10367. Apparently permission of where Ukraine is allowed to strike is still very limited. This is very disappointing. Anywhere from which attacks against Ukraine are launched should be an allowed target. It seems that Biden is still frightened of upsetting Putin.

  10369. In terms of this war 2026 is a very long way off. And it's more missiles and glide bombs that Ukraine needs to worry about.
    2
  10370. It WAS a Hamas strike!
    2
  10371. I hope those nations who HAVEN'T sent in undercover ops to take out Putin before he gets back to Moscow realise just how much mischief he may cause. While he hasn't said it publicly, I guarantee that he has either offered to supply Iran with nuclear weapons or to help Iran vastly speed up their development. MOSSAD, are you listening?
    2
  10372. Can't blame William. Would you want to share your household with a couple of spoilt, self-indulgent nutters?
    2
  10373. I remember hearing all the tough talk, not so long ago, from the so-called "Coalition of the Willing". Maybe if they had also walked the walk this might not be happening!
    2
  10374. It seems to me that covid-19 is now being blamed for everything from hair loss to impotency.
    2
  10375. So true. Management and admin in the NHS has grown like a virulent cancer, sucking the lifeblood out of it. The same has happened in schools. Some admin is of course needed, but most managers and admin staff are nothing but parasites.
    2
  10376. Hopefully that "Ukrainian fighting spirit" will endure, and together with UK and US arms will push the Russians back. It's not Ukraine that's going to be removed from the map but Putin!
    2
  10377. For those of us who had the sense to vote Reform UK the reputation of both the Tories and Labour was already in tatters.
    2
  10378. Does this woman not realise that lower taxes will do bugger all for millions of poor struggling OAPs, or does she simply not give a toss? What about reversing Rich Boy Sunak's disgraceful 3.1% pension rise and giving them the rise they were entitled to under the triple lock, but CHEATED out of?
    2
  10379. Starmer was in charge, so the buck stops with him! Boris has a mountain of things to apologise for, but this is definitely not one of them.
    2
  10380. The Russian military is very cumbersome and inaccurate. So if they have to fight in Russia they are quite likely to do more damage to their own people and infrastructure than to the Ukrainians.
    2
  10381.  @bennyboy5374  Sounds about right.
    2
  10382. And if they can't be expelled then they need to meet with "accidents".
    2
  10383. Yep, no one does rape and retreat better than Russian Orcs.
    2
  10384. That would be because the scum at the BBC don't' want to upset their paymasters in Downing Street, and the rest of the British media is frightened that our dictators will make life difficult for them.
    2
  10385. There's a joke going round that Scholz is Russia's best anti-tank weapon.
    2
  10386. Sadly, by blocking Finland's and Sweden's membership of NATO, Turkey is helping Putin!
    2
  10387. ​ @EvidentlyFire  Three incidents separated greatly in both location and time. And very rare compared to the incidents we are, sadly, all too used to hearing about.
    2
  10388. Neither Trump nor Biden are good for the US. The former is a complete nut job, and the latter is now suffering from dementia.
    2
  10389. Why aren't those cluster munitions being used here?
    2
  10390. The big mistake was letting up on the last counteroffensive over the winter. As I repeatedly said then, this would give the Orcs time to consolidate, dig in, and resupply, which is exactly what happened.
    2
  10391. Well one thing is certain. Thanks to shutting schools, and sending kids home because the person next to them coughed, we now have vastly more young people with mental health problems. I hope the bed wetting snowflakes are proud of what their cowardice has achieved.
    2
  10392. Add it to the very long list of Russian war crimes. It's what they do best, because they have had at least 70 years practice.
    2
  10393. Well, at least these Russians have learnt that Putin doesn't value their lives any more highly than those of Ukrainians. I wonder how long it will take most Russians to catch on.
    2
  10394.  @lilitdesign  Seriously? I haven't seen any videos. YouTube must be pulling them really quickly, and there's no chance of mainstream media reporting them.
    2
  10395. ​ @Paulswfc  Considering Raynor doesn't even have a CSE in maths I wouldn't be at all surprised to see TTK make her chancellor.
    2
  10396.  @Paulswfc  Most 16 year-olds have more qualifications than Raynor!
    2
  10397. You are more likely to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, than any evidence that ABUSING kids, by making them wear masks, works. The reason adults aren't being forced to wear them is that its much harder to bully them, and will simply refuse or claim exemption.
    2
  10398. Hopefully dumb-ass Lancashire police are using the helicopter to look at the area near the river, and NOT the river itself.
    2
  10399. A look at Putin's face as he announced mobilisation shows just how desperate he is. He has seen the writing on the wall and like any desperate, and COWARDLY, man is babbling to try and save his own skin. I doubt that he will still be in power this Christmas.
    2
  10400. Was anyone else outraged at a bloody behavioural psychologist, Stephen Reicher, suggesting keeping masks? How dare someone, with no medical qualifications whatsoever, advise continuing the infringement of people's freedom.
    2
  10401. Like those trainers that nobody now wants to buy, being associated with Sunak isn't good for ones reputation or credibility.
    2
  10402. It's unfortunate about the civilians, but the rabid fundamentalists have always used the innocent as human shields.
    2
  10403. And the nut job running Scotland wants to import lots of Hamas supporters and members!
    2
  10404. Je crois vraiment que, dans la situation actuelle, si Moscou subit des attaques significatives, Poutine sera rapidement destitué.
    2
  10405. Most of us would agree with you, but YouTube, by deleting and hiding posts, strives hard to hide this fact.
    2
  10406. One would think that, seeing all this, those in a position to "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men" would realise that he is no longer playing with a full pack, and needs to go for the sake of Russia.
    2
  10407. "Quantity over quality" Looking at Boris's ample figure he's certainly got plenty of this.
    2
  10408. Hopefully most people now understand that pandering to or negotiating with an insane psychopath like Putin is not an option. Whatever Putin's perverted fantasies might be Ukraine is an independent nation. As such it has an inviolable right to apply for membership to the EU, NATO, or any other international organisation it wants to join.
    2
  10409. Putin is worried that as sanctions bite in Russia that his own people will start to turn on him. Only someone who is mentally disturbed could liken sanctions to war. People and countries choose who they want to do business with. Almost all sanctions are the exercise of this right.
    2
  10410. Now would be a really good time for Georgia to give him a third front, and take back the 20% of their land that he stole. There are probably other regions too that should be looking for payback now. Such good opportunities don't come along often.
    2
  10411. Without Novak the prison state's Open has no credibility. It needs him, not the other way around. I hope Novak sticks by his principles and doesn't give in to Australia's tin pot dictators.
    2
  10412. Here's an old Russian tale: A genie appears to a man and tells him that he will grant him a wish, BUT whatever he gives him he will give twice as much to his neighbours. The man thinks for a few minutes and then says "pluck out one of my eyes".
    2
  10413. Alternatively, what about applying a £10 soldering iron to the scrotum of the intended victim who is refusing to "cooperate" with the police?
    2
  10414. As one of America's founding fathers said. A prerequisite for freedom is that government should be afraid of the people, rather than the other way around!
    2
  10415. We've got the Insulate Britain brigade, these just Just Stop Oil idiots, another lot pouring milk out at Fortnum and Mason, and many more crazy groups. It seems to me that we now have a cause for every nut job, and a police force that doesn't want to touch any of them. The police seemed far more proactive with the women at the Sarah Everard vigil than they are with real criminals like these people.
    2
  10416. Load some of these drones with high explosives. When one of Putin's flying Orcs gets too close detonate!
    2
  10417. Wow, that's unbelievable. Even more so when one considers that he might well have seen stuff in the media touting the curative effects of some of the spices (e.g. Turmeric) that one often finds in curries. I suppose that calling someone a crisp lover is OK, but calling them a curry lover is now a hanging offence.
    2
  10418. People cheer in North Korea, because they know what happens if you are noticed not cheering.
    2
  10419. If we had people like Desmond Swayne throwing their hats into the leadership ring then I would be very happy to see Boris booted out. Unfortunately those lined up to take his place are scum of the earth, who are just as bad, and maybe worse.
    2
  10420. The biggest witch Scotland has ever had is Nichola the Knicker Wetter!
    2
  10421. Dream on Labour lover.
    2
  10422. Even forgetting the time needed to accelerate, and then decelerate, without damaging g-force it would take 4 years to get hear from the nearest star, and what are the chances that it has a planet supporting intelligent life more advanced than us. I wonder if those who believe in UFO's have any scientific background, or the slightest inkling of the effort it would take to get here: and back again.
    2
  10423. Putin won't stop because victory in Ukraine is now existential for him. BUT this doesn't mean that sanctions won't make others think about "removing" him. They are most certainly hurting Russia, but one can hardly expect an admission of this. We also need to remember that Putin is now responsible for more Russian deaths than the total number killed in every single other Russian campaign since WW II.
    2
  10424. Psycho Putin is definitely going down. The only question is, are Russians really stupid enough to let him take them down with him, instead of "removing" him and his so-called "strong men"?
    2
  10425. Why even bother to appeal when everyone knows that the original verdict and sentence for these innocent people is decided before they even set foot in Russia's kangaroo courts.
    2
  10426. Not only should his license be removed, HE should be removed from this country!
    2
  10427. SNP - Scottish Numpty Party.
    2
  10428. Phillipson brings to mind this old Russian story: A genie appears to a man and says that he will grant him any wish his heart desires, BUT whatever he asks for the genie will give twice as much to his neighbours. The man thinks for a minute and then says "take one of my eyes".
    2
  10429. I see that Russia doesn't have any laws about keeping perverted psychopaths away from children.
    2
  10430. Hitler's Germany rose to power because people didn't want to stand up to him earlier on. Hopefully we won't make the same MISTAKE with Putin.
    2
  10431. It can't come soon enough. Every day the Ukrainian offensive is delayed give the Orcs another day to murder civilians and regroup and resupply.
    2
  10432. To get this in perspective, those dying represent only a small fraction of a percent, and are mainly very old and very sick already.
    2
  10433. I honestly think that Germany secretly hoped Putin would quickly overrun Ukraine, so that they could keep receiving Russian gas.
    2
  10434. Just look at the faces on those pro-Hamas marches, that are being called pro-Palestinian. Most of them definitely don't come from the WASP community!
    2
  10435. Around 40 years ago, when I visited Sweden it was a wonderful and very safe country. This is what happens when you let the wrong sort of people in!
    2
  10436. That's so funny, but it's what happens when you allow a deranged psychopath to stay in power. So much for Russia being a super power. Seeing those rusty old guns has be grinning from ear to ear.
    2
  10437. Having someone other than Biden would probably vastly improve the Democrats chances of beating Trump.
    2
  10438. The way these pathetic jokers are handling this, it will soon be most of us that urgently need this help. Calling the cabinet incompetent is a bit like calling hurricane Katrina a light breeze.
    2
  10439. People aren't going to buy what they don't need. Why go down the pub when you can drink in your back garden for a quarter of the price. Why buy a cake or a ready meal when you can make far better for a third of the price?
    2
  10440. We have violent criminals receiving much shorter sentences, or not being jailed at all. The courts are now behaving like they do in Russia: doing exactly what the government tells them to. In consistent justice is no justice at all!
    2
  10441. This guy is as thick as the turf he used to play on. So why does anyone care what he thinks?
    2
  10442. Most of the electorate PROVED how stupid they are, by voting either Conservative or Labour!
    2
  10443. How are other European countries managing the problem? By letting migrants head for the UK, which is where they all want to go because we are by far the softest touch.
    2
  10444. What Putin and his fanboys want you to forget is that the cost of the Cold War arms race played a major part in the collapse of the Soviet Union. This war is proving vastly more expensive for Russia.
    2
  10445. Sack the police responsible for this!
    2
  10446. My God, what a dystopian Nazi state NSW, and Australia in general, has become. How long will it be before the unvaccinated are forced to wear yellow stars and herded into ghettos? After all, weren't ghettos created to protect public health.
    2
  10447. Like they were determined to take the whole of Ukraine in a "special operation" just lasting a week or two.
    2
  10448. Or worse!
    2
  10449. No excuse for almost all the bad behaviour towards staff, but stopping saying one particular phrase that is very popular in America might reduce the number of incidents. "I need you to ..." is a truly massive wind-up!
    2
  10450. How many times do we hear this? Other countries regularly deal with far more snow and colder temperatures, without making a song and dance about it. The UK ought to be deeply ashamed and embarrassed about the fuss it makes time and time again.
    2
  10451. But parents just stood by and accepted it!
    2
  10452. I get really tired of having to repeatedly quote Voltaire to people in the UK. It goes very much like this. "I may not agree with what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it." Isn't it notable that free speech is a cornerstone of the American constitution, but not a part of the UK's? When most people in this now pathetic country say they believe in such freedoms what they really mean is people are free to hold the same opinion as they do. Finally, when you make it illegal to criticise a certain group of people, far from helping them you engender MORE resentment and intolerance towards them.
    2
  10453. The "right call" would have been never to interfere at all with young people's education. The risk posed to them was always NEGLIGIBLE, and that posed to their teachers was truly miniscule. In fact a freedom of information request to the ONS, in the UK showed that just 17,500 people with no underlying health issues die from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. This is vastly less than the 150,000 death toll that the UK government likes to scare people with. For those who are healthy, and not very old, sars-cov-2 poses virtually no risk. They don't need their lives turned upside down, and they certainly don't need vaccination!
    2
  10454. So true. You can never have too many well toasted Orcs.
    2
  10455. What a pathetic attempt to scare NATO and the West. It shows just how insane and desperate those running Russia have become.
    2
  10456.  @Muritaipet  No, dumb-ass, what (s)he's saying is that government's first priority should be protecting its citizens from rabid dog fanatics who are never going to change for the better.
    2
  10457. How kind of Ukrainians to warm up those freezing Orcs.
    2
  10458. Stop calling them women, because they are not. If they have a penis they are men. If they have had it chopped off then they are eunuchs, but they are definitely not women.
    2
  10459. One suspects that those holding Putin's leash are loosing patience with him, and he is getting increasingly desperate.
    2
  10460. Yes, if Emperor Xi sees Ukraine and the West bow to Putin then Taiwan can kiss its independence goodbye.
    2
  10461. Sorry, but throughout this pandemic I've been unable to get even slightly concerned about a virus that kills well under 1%, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. I also suspected, right from the very start, that natural immunity would be very good and long lasting, and the more reputable studies that have come out, the more this belief has been confirmed. In fact it's now seeming certain that natural immunity is much better than vaccination, and may last a lifetime.
    2
  10462.  @angrygromit93  Do you honestly think anyone cares what someone like you loves?🤣
    2
  10463. Germany's failure to make good on its promised weapons is something that every decent German should feel deeply ashamed of!
    2
  10464. Pour les centaines de millions de livres que nous donnons aux Français pour qu'ils ne fassent rien, nous pourrions FACILEMENT payer plusieurs navires de la Royal Navy pour patrouiller très efficacement la partie concernée de la Manche et refouler de force presque tous les bateaux !
    2
  10465. ​ @coconuciferanuts339  Unfortunately he left the job half done: probably even less than that. Indeed far from being put in its place the Iranian regime is now trying to assassinate Trump.
    2
  10466. Equality before the law, and ignorance of it being no defence, have been cornerstones of what was once a much fairer UK justice system. Any judge worthy of his/her position must very publicly repudiate these new sentencing guidelines.
    2
  10467. GOVERNMENT WARNING Attending the Notting Hill Carnival can seriously damage your health!
    2
  10468. Well that's another farm de-Nazified.
    2
  10469. Perhaps if we didn't rescue those who engage in trying to illegally enter another country it might happen less.
    2
  10470. Unfortunately, most of us don't find this in the least astonishing.
    2
  10471. I was thinking more "DAMAGED mummy's boy".
    2
  10472. There's a really good reason that Jordan and Egypt hate Trump's plan for Gaza, and it has absolutely nothing to do with international law or ethnic cleansing. The are terrified of ending up with thousands of barbaric terrorists in their country. This is what that judge is putting this country at risk of.
    2
  10473. Old math, new lies!
    2
  10474. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!
    2
  10475.  @residentone475  And I've got a book showing 20 vaccinations that I have willingly spent my own time and money getting. BUT these are vaccines that I actually needed, and had been PROPERLY TESTED!
    2
  10476. Why should ANY of my taxes be wasted on monitoring this evil woman? There are far more worthy things to spend them on!
    2
  10477. Older Ukrainians will tell you that this Russian occupation was far worse that the Nazi occupation of WW II
    2
  10478. C'est incroyable ! YouTube a supprimé mon commentaire en anglais disant que les toiletteurs devraient être emprisonnés et expulsés.
    2
  10479.  @silverdale3207  That makes sense. When I lived in Christchurch I can remember Winston pulling the same trick to get a powerful position he didn't deserve. His party should be called Winston Peters First.
    2
  10480. If a white straight guy had said this then the police would have been on him instantly!
    2
  10481. A victory for the most basic common sense.
    2
  10482. The "super protected" comment is not correct. The massive Israeli study found that there was "no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity". Even more importantly, the study found that natural immunity is 13 times as effective as vaccine induced immunity, and much longer lasting: possibly for life. It's not just the US government that is trying to bury this study, and the reason is obvious. Right at the start of this pandemic governments were given the advice subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. This advice clearly stated that lockdowns would not work and would cause immense collateral damage. The advice of many eminent experts was to just isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. The Israeli study, and others, shows that the advice in the GBD would have worked spectacularly well. So now politicians are really desperate to make sure people never realise that their insane lockdowns were unnecessary.
    2
  10483. For the sake of France this pension reform needs to be repealed until it can be passed in a democratic vote, AND Herr Macron needs to step down from the presidency.
    2
  10484. So, if Zelensky has any sense at all he will immediately make the best possible use of the long-range missiles that he still has.
    2
  10485. With so many in the UK now vaccinated, and the rest at negligible risk, all these fascist restrictions, that violate our freedom and liberty, need to be dropped NOW! Snowflakes, I've got (old) news for you. Covid-19 is never going away, and it's going to keep on mutating. So man up, and suck it up!
    2
  10486. ALL the covid-19 oppression should already have been ended. Anyone who isn't happy about this can go and crawl under a stone. The world won't miss them.
    2
  10487. Russia has even more difficulty telling the truth than Boris Johnson. One always needs to wait for independent verification, which is extremely rare when it comes to confirming Russian claims.
    2
  10488. A very wise move. The last thing we want is to give the filthy Orcs a respite and chance do dig in.
    2
  10489.  @sladehelicoptersgaming3148  The thing is that those driving to the shops don't just hurt themselves. They are poisoning the air for our children, among other things.
    2
  10490.  @stephfoxwell4620  So you have never grown up, and bugger everybody else.
    2
  10491. Why not save vastly more money by targeting fraudsters? There are 9.4 million of working age not working. That's a whopping 25% of the working age population. And there's absolutely no way that the majority of these are unfit to work. Am I the only one wondering how many millions of them are collecting benefits that they aren't entitled to?
    2
  10492. And it's usually cheaper too!
    2
  10493. Most people shouldn't have cars!
    2
  10494. ​ @danieldavies4961  Because they are damaging to both the local and global environment, and consume incredible amounts of limited resources.
    2
  10495. I feel sorry for the pigs.
    2
  10496. ​ @mohammedmashud4621  Ferguson is a blight and embarrassment to Imperial College. This college has (had?) a great reputation, and doesn't deserve to be dragged through the mud by this frightened coward. They should sack him at the first opportunity.
    2
  10497. And you know what's so incredibly funny about this? Those who have already had covid are already immune, so they don't need the bloody vaccine, and medical ethics clearly indicates that they should never be given it. It's unethical to administer unnecessary treatments to patients! And what's even funnier still is that their natural immunity is probably a lot better than that provided by these vaccines.
    2
  10498. Even if the sentence were commuted for sleeping with that you would probably think twice.
    2
  10499. Whatever Putin uses he will get back!
    2
  10500. The UN is now a bigger joke than the League of Nations was!
    2
  10501. At nearly 66 why am I still alive and very healthy without having had any Covid vaccines? Could it possibly be because Covid poses a serious risk to well under 1% of the population, and that after you have had it your natural immunity to it is absolutely brilliant and long lasting?
    2
  10502. Maybe it will last until we see the kind of eruption that ended the Minoan civilisation.
    2
  10503. You might be surprised just how many of us strongly support ULEZ. What's not fair is selfish motorists who feel that they have a god given right to poison the air that our children breath!
    2
  10504. Sunak is as ineffective in doing this as he is at stopping the small boats.
    2
  10505. From the start, people like be having calling these rallies exactly what they are: pro-Hamas rallies by dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semites. Most of the people on these rallies would have looked right at home cheering Hitler during his Nuremberg rallies.
    2
  10506. Hopefully there were a couple of Orcs in each one.
    2
  10507. Gave their lives for what? So that anti-Semites (the very thing they fought against) can march down our streets waving Swastikas and chanting "from the river to the sea", while the police arrest anyone who might provoke them: by being obviously Jewish, for instance.
    2
  10508. Comments agreeing with Julia's sentiment are being removed!
    2
  10509. It's not the lack of respect that concerns me, but the chronic laziness and sense of entitlement. For at least a couple of decades most young people have expected all the good things in life to simply fall into their lap. How many of them want to do a real job that contributes to the welfare of others and society? I'm sick of seeing kids who want to study crap like sociology and business studies, and aspire to a "career" as a blogger.
    2
  10510. US pilots should be instructed to fire on any plane they feel is putting their life in danger!
    2
  10511. Sadly, as another poster commented, the damage does look reparable.
    2
  10512. Special operation to de-Orcify Kaliningrad?
    2
  10513. I've just commented that some parents are likely to take "extra judicial" action against headteachers that do this to their kids. Let's see how long it takes the thought police to remove it.
    2
  10514. Since Putin has been doing all he can for over two years there is nothing more he can do: except become more frightened and paranoid.
    2
  10515. Russia has a truly infamous history of purges. I very much doubt that any of those involved in this rebellion, or even suspected of involvement, have a long life expectancy.
    2
  10516. Even animals don't put their own young in harms way, but Hamas are less than animals!
    2
  10517. South African doctors, with the most experience of this variant, have described it as EXTREMELY MILD. Here's the real reason that the government is so scared of the Fluffy Kitten variant, as I've renamed it. It has the very real potential to SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people. Imagine just how much embarrassment this would cause, as well as loosening government's grip on power.

  10519. Absolutely not going to happen. There will be blood on British streets if Sunak kicks out Ukrainians while letting tens of thousands of illegal dinghy boys stay. Most British welcome Ukrainians, but we would DEARLY love to see the channel paddlers thrown back into it!
    2
  10520. How about holding them down and forcibly injecting them.
    2
  10521. Don't forget that lockdowns were insanely damaging, totally unnecessary, and couldn't have been forced on us without the wholehearted support of the Labour Party!
    2
  10522. Giving "free lifts" to under age white girls.
    2
  10523. LMAO! As per the advice given right at the start, and later published in the Great Barrington Declaration. The government should have just isolated the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity occurred. As well as being vastly better than these vaccines, it does appear to last: possibly for a lifetime.
    2
  10524.  @davefave4351  Hopefully in body bags.
    2
  10525. Good pig hunting with those new weapons.
    2
  10526. While Putin remains in power this war can ONLY be resolved militarily. This means Ukraine must get whatever it needs to end Russia's occupation (including Crimea) and attacks on it. And it's not just about Ukraine. If Russia is allowed any kind of victory at all then the world will be a much less safe place.
    2
  10527. We will see plenty more riots like this if lockdowns or restrictions are brought back, or if the government persists in trying to force vaccination on those who don't need it or want it.
    2
  10528. The whole free world is rooting for Zelenskyy to kick the Orcs out of the whole of Ukraine: and that includes Crimea.
    2
  10529. That would have meant rising interest rates earlier, and by more than a piddling 0.25% at a time. But this would have caused difficulties for the government, and despite the much toted independence the Bank of England is very much in bed with Downing Street.
    2
  10530. I'm just as worried as I was about the Delta variant: NOT AT ALL. But maybe that's because instead of poorly tested vaccines I've got rock solid, long lasting, NATURAL IMMUNITY.
    2
  10531. Or shaking each others little toy.
    2
  10532. The Russian military is incredibly backward, so hoping to win with WW I tactics shouldn't surprise anyone. Remember, Russian generals are chosen for their unquestioning loyalty, not for their intelligence, because with intelligent generals someone would have put a bullet in Putin long ago.
    2
  10533. For too long Russians have been afraid to speak out against the war. Now it's time for Putin's rabid supporters to be afraid!
    2
  10534. The only way "immediate peace" will happen is with Putin's removal from power!
    2
  10535. How do we really know the jab is less effective? My idea of strong supporting evidence would be a reasonable number of verified infections in people who have had their second dose of the Astra/Zeneca vaccine. Does such evidence exist, because I very much doubt there has been enough time to collect such evidence.

  10536. Am I the only one who calls him Chicken Joe?
    2
  10537. You know which school leavers and graduates won't face this? Those who have taken useful STEM subjects, and maybe those who have managed to gain a decent fluency in other languages. If you take NODDY subjects then don't expect businesses and employers to be impressed with your qualifications.
    2
  10538. So class, let's all sing along together: If you've a dick and not a fanny you're a man. If you've a dick and not a fanny you're a man. You can cut it off or hide it, Cut it off or hide it. But it doesn't change the fact that you're a man.

  10540. "Achtung Juden" The characters change but the story doesn't. In many countries today, and especially Australia, it's now: "Danger Unvaccinated"

  10541. A major weakness of democracy is that it allows people to elect those who are mentally unstable.
    2
  10542. I hope William and Kate have the decency to only send their kids as day students. If you have children then YOU have a duty to bring them up yourself, not pay someone else to do so. Boarding should be a choice of absolutely last resort. I suffered 4 terms at a boarding school, having to run away 4 times in order to get kicked out. Even more than 50 years later I still occasionally have nightmares about the place!
    2
  10543. So, we were able to protect this country's borders against the Luftwaffe and Germany Navy in WW II, but we can't defend them against people in rubber boats. Sounds more like "won't" rather than "can't"!
    2
  10544. I hope the Ukrainians slaughter every last Orc in Kherson!
    2
  10545. Austrians need to defy this lockdown. Like the rest it will cause lots of damage and suffering without doing any good whatsoever. If most people stand up for their rights and freedom then the government is powerless to stop them. Government is meant to be the servants of the people, not the other way round.
    2
  10546. Sunak could learn from this. The are no shortage of jobs that need filling while our government hands taxpayers' hard-earned money to lazy parasites who have never done an honest day's work in their lives and contribute nothing to society.
    2
  10547. Does anyone believe that this woman is worth more than a good doctor, or a brilliant STEM university professor?
    2
  10548. The Kremlin has now admitted that a second bomb was dropped, which makes you wonder whether it was more than two, and possibly the whole payload.
    2
  10549. For many years there was effectively a ceasefire with Hamas, and just look at how they used it!
    2
  10550. That was my immediate thought.
    2
  10551. Hamas are rabid, cowardly animals, who have always used civilians as human shields. And it doesn't matter in the least to them whether those civilians are Jews or the Palestinians that they claim to be fighting for.
    2
  10552. It's looking very likely that Labour will win the next general election. The trouble is that while Sunak and his cronies have been sticking splints under the nation's fingernails, Labour will actually cut those fingers off!
    2
  10553. Do stop being such pussies! This is still a virus that kills well under 1%, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. In fact, research seems to show that the Delta variant is slightly less deadly.
    2
  10554. You didn't mention when this involves kids. About 30 years ago, when I lived in Leeds, I chased down a kid that was kicking the hell out of my fence. I caught him, and took him to the nearest house, where they called the police. The police told me that they would read him the riot act and deliver him to his parents in a suitably impressive vehicle. I image he probably gave up vandalising fences after that. My main point, however, is that I'm told things have really changed, and that these days somebody doing this would probably end up in a lot of trouble.
    2
  10555. You know what my idea of living with this is. Not taking time off work unless you feel seriously ill. Not wearing masks, except at Halloween. And not queuing up to take endless shots or poorly tested vaccine.
    2
  10556. Your country?
    2
  10557. One of the videos indicated that these sea drones are being packed with TNT. However there are much more powerful explosives available today. Pack these drones with these and any ship encountering them would have very little chance of surviving. Also, if some of these drones were packed with much more powerful, and carefully shaped, explosives there's a good chance that they could take out the supports of the Kerch bridge, which would well and truly finish off Putin's pride and joy.
    2
  10558. @Serenth 1. Better an honest porn star than a bent politician or lawyer. 2. People should by now have enough sense to realise how easily images can be doctored.
    2
  10559. Is getting rid of Starmer bold and radical enough. The poorest in this country are suffering terribly precisely because his staunch support for Downing Street made lockdowns and restrictions possible!
    2
  10560. That's why they let them in by the boat load!
    2
  10561. In case it isn't bloody obvious by now, the Met police are completely in the pocket of extreme Islamists. They have ignored countless acts of blatant anti-Semitism, and now they have (WRONGFULLY) arrested a man for holding a sign that says exactly what the UK government has designated Hamas to be.
    2
  10562. If we didn't have a two-tier system they would already be in jail!
    2
  10563. Sorry, but if a bus runs me over within 28 days of a positive PCR test I don't think covid-19 should be on my death certificate, obviously the true cause is that I was wearing boxer shorts at the time of the test.
    2
  10564. Well, Rich Boy Sunak already decided that OAPs wouldn't get a rise in line with inflation, when he CHEATED them out of their triple lock. Even without him STEALING what they were entitled to many would have struggled desperately to make ends meet!
    2
  10565. The attitude of the majority in some countries makes democracy in them nearly impossible, and this might be the case with Russia. Another good example is much of Africa, were tribalism, which is incompatible with democracy, is deeply engrained. This might be why expecting Putin to be overthrown by the general population is unrealistic. Someone powerful might well overthrow him, but which way they might lean is an open question. This is also why it's incredibly dangerous to show any weakness, or what might be interpreted as weakness, when dealing with Russia.
    2
  10566. Actually, Boris has no idea if any of his ministers voted for him. I'd place a substantial bet that some who said they supported him actually voted against him.
    2
  10567. I suspect that the only reason vaccine passports have been dropped is the Downing Street didn't want to suffer serious humiliation when our supreme court ruled that they were illegal. There was an incredibly large and reliable study in Israel which resulted in 3 findings: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times as effective as vaccine induced immunity. 2. Unlike vaccine induced immunity, natural immunity is very long lasting: maybe a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating the naturally immune. The Israeli study has already been successfully used in court by a US law professor. English law is based on precedent, and while a case in another country might not set a precedent in this one, I imagine our Law Lords would certainly look sympathetically on what happened in the US. What I expect now is that instead of "vaccine passports" we will very soon see "immunity passports" which will include all those who can prove previous infection, or the presence of antibodies, or the presence of memory B and T cells. Personally, as long as they don't try to force the vaccine on young people, I would be OK with this.
    2
  10568. Any North Korean soldier with even a modicum of intelligence would surrender to Ukrainian forces at the earliest possible opportunity. Having the chance to escape to the West is something almost all of their compatriots back home can only dream of.
    2
  10569. Many countries need IMPARTIAL inquiries into whether lockdowns or coerced vaccinations were ever necessary. Right at the very start, the REAL experts advised that lockdowns would be ineffective and would just cause an insane amount of damage. They later published this advice, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration. Their recommendation was to simply isolate the most vulnerable until there was natural herd immunity, which would have happened fairly quickly. This advice was spot on! The FACTS are that covid-19 never posed a serious threat to over 99% of the population, AND that natural immunity is vastly better and much longer lasting than vaccination.
    2
  10570. After the shameful treatment of Novak, Tennis Australia needs a Pure Blood Pride Day, to celebrate those with the intelligence and guts to tell the government where to stick its poorly tested vaccines.
    2
  10571. Fear of change is what we should fear the most, because change is what this country needs the most! Does this bed-wetting journalist honestly believe that Reform could do any worse than the Tories or Labour? That seems incredibly unlikely.
    2
  10572. It's like choosing between being injected with Syphilis or Gonorrhea. Of course, those of us with a modicum of intelligence didn't have any Covid "vaccine".
    2
  10573. John you are right that if lockdown ended "yesterday" then infections would increase. However, as over 11 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated, would this now lead to significantly more hospitalisations? I suspect that the answer to this is no, in which case more infections don't matter in the least. In fact, we could regard them as letting Mother Nature vaccinate all those low down the priority list. Lockdowns are not cost free. They take an immense toll on people's lives in terms of job losses, education, and mental health. So many of the lockdown cheerleaders are some the most cowardly and selfish people on the planet. A fair number have paid up or very small mortgages and a nice cushy pension or secure income. They don't give a toss about anyone but themselves.
    2
  10574.  @AggroPhene  Those who imposed lockdowns, and caused so much unnecessary pain and suffering, must be made to pay!
    2
  10575. You do realise that only the most mentally retarded say things like "rules are rules".
    2
  10576. We constantly hear about far-right extremists, but isn't it funny that when it actually comes to committing or threatening violence it's usually the lefties who resort to it.
    2
  10577. Lots of regions want out of the Russian Federation, and you know what? There's never been a better time to secede from Putin's evil empire. Moscow has never been weaker. All it takes is just one brave region to make the first move and there will be an avalanche of others following. An opportunity like this may not come again!
    2
  10578. Voting Tory is stupid enough, but paying to be a Tory member indicates serious brain damage.
    2
  10579. All those regions that want out of the Russian Federation need to act together now, while Moscow is greatly weakened. Such a good opportunity may not present itself again!
    2
  10580. If it were up to me those 100 or so pro Russian hecklers would have serious "accidents".
    2
  10581.  @BigAlCapwn  I used to work for a major telecoms company. One of the programs I wrote was to measure traffic on every single network switch: it was an easy program to write. From this I can tell you that, even without GPS, your movements can be traced to the nearest switch, which is usually within a few 100m and can be a lot less!
    2
  10582. Well done! We need to see a lot more of this, and in many other countries too.
    2
  10583. The snowflakes and the woke are pathetic creatures that richly deserve to be offended regularly. Also, winding them up is such good fun.
    2
  10584. Does this complete wanker have the slightest idea how much what he is proposing will cost? Did it not occur to him that there are vastly better ways to spend the taxpayers' money: most of us would not sanction this. Blow Job, I hate to break it to you, but the sun set on the British Empire a long time ago. No one now uses the term Great Britain, because it would be a joke. This country doesn't need a massive military capability because it simply isn't worth the expense of invading.
    2
  10585. On the whole I'm a fan of Katharine Birbalsingh, but the truth is that there are a vast number of truly useless heads and management teams out there, who certainly don't know what's best for their school: otherwise it would be more like Katherine's. However, I suspect these are the very ones that Labour would strongly favour. Also, I've come across some really good schools that don't have uniforms at all: and where the staff go in wearing jeans.
    2
  10586. How many Royal Naval vessels could we afford to use patrolling the channel if we used the money we give to the French, who do nothing? Almost ALL these boats could be intercepted and forcibly returned to French territorial waters.
    2
  10587. Or perhaps it's the case that motorists are so incredibly selfish that they won't accept the research indicating that kids are being poisoned by the fumes their cars emit.
    2
  10588. On my bookshelf are sitting three of Miguel Barclay's "One Pound Meal" books, with 100s of tasty nutritious meals in them. These books are recent publications, before someone starts claiming they aren't relevant to today. Lazy people need to start cooking properly, before they say they can't afford to eat.
    2
  10589. Once again we are pandering to the bed-wetting snowflakes. Sars-cov-2 has only ever posed a threat to WELL UNDER 1%! Lockdowns were a massive mistake. Vaccinating most people was a massive mistake.
    2
  10590. It's a really sick country when paedophiles have more rights than their victims.
    2
  10591. A storm in a Downing Street teacup. These tyrants have been desperately grappling for an excuse to bring back masks and have a Christmas lockdown: the masks are just setting the stage and testing the water to see if they can get away with a lockdown. Even by Downing Street standards this is truly pathetic. This variant has already been in the UK for a while (and everywhere else), but it is so innocuous that nobody noticed it, until the dictators decided to give it the limelight. EXTREMELY MILD CASES offers a great opportunity for those who haven't yet had covid-19, or been vaccinated, to safely acquire rock solid NATURAL IMMUNITY. Those who believe in God might even think of it as his Christmas present to the world, which Downing Street want to jump up and down on.
    2
  10592. Amazing isn't it that some people got very similar sentences merely for making heat of the moment tweets. And the fact that you have to say "r-word" shows that YouTube needs urgent sanctioning by Ofcom for perverting people's view of what is very common public opinion. I await with interest the sentencing of those two involved in the Manchester airport attacks on police.
    2
  10593. As well as excess deaths, we need to very carefully monitor, for at least a decade, to see if we get an excess in auto-immune diseases of all sorts. I won't be at all surprised if we see significant rises in Type I Diabetes, and maybe dementia, over the coming years.
    2
  10594. If we didn't have a seriously corrupt government then all dividends to shareholders, and bonuses to directors would be outlawed until sewage problems and leaking pipes were fixed.

  10595. Cela me rappelle ce que disait mon défunt oncle, qui était comptable : « Il faut frapper là où ça fait mal : dans la poche. »
    2
  10596. I just made a similar comment.
    2
  10597. So 24 hour courts for the "far-right". But no 24 hour courts to deport those who shouldn't be in this country.
    2
  10598. Young kids are being poisoned by car fumes: some are even dying. I'm sick of selfish motorists who feel they have a God given right to poison the air for others. Walk, cycle or use public transport! For most people a car is an indulgent luxury that they don't need.
    2
  10599. But the WHO still wants to force people to have mRNA vaccines.
    2
  10600. Dr. John has been giving projected worldwide deaths in the millions, and I have no issue with his figures. However people need to remember that there are over 7 billion people in the world. So, over an ENTIRE year, from the start of all this, we are only looking at very roughly 1 in 3000 people dying. This really isn't worth getting excited about, and in fact the global population is still increasing. Now, if people do want a much bigger figure to worry about, an earlier figure for those being pushed into extreme poverty BY LOCKDOWNS was around 70 million: I expect that this number is now a fair bit higher. Most people in this country have absolutely no concept of how bad extreme poverty is: and they don't want to understand it, because it would give them sleepless nights. But in an nutshell, extreme poverty KILLS a high percentage of those afflicted by it. As many people like me have said from the start. Lockdown measures will ultimately kill far more people than covid-19 ever will. But, conveniently for scum-bag politicians, there deaths will go unnoticed: which will also salve the consciences of all the snowflakes too.
    2
  10601. That's 20 million Germans who aren't' stupid gullible sheep.
    2
  10602. The very best guarantee of no nuclear war is to make sure that there is no doubt at all in Russians' minds that if a NATO ally is nuked then all their major cities will be annihilated minutes later. I'd certainly sleep sounder knowing that no bleeding heart liberal born again Christian is going to let Russia off the hook for such an attack.
    2
  10603. A lot of Russians would like to stop, but that deranged psychopath Putin knows that if he does he will lose power, and probably also his life. But hopefully this will happen soon anyway.
    2
  10604. I guess if Vangelis were writing that song today it would be called Albedo 0.38.
    2
  10605. The only reason it's slow is because the Russian army is so incompetent, which is just as well as they are Nazi butchers. Looking on the bright side, this gives the Ukrainian army a good opportunity for some turkey shoots.
    2
  10606. Time for a straight pride flag, I think.
    2
  10607. A LARGE MAJORITY in this country desperately want to see these boats prevented from landing!

    2
  10612. Far better, give them a helping hand to get worn out!
    2
  10613. I think by now that most of us have worked out that Starmer is all talk and broken promises.
    2
  10614. Why the hell should a channel that MOST people no longer watch get special treatment. The TV license should have been ended years ago, and the BBC forced to support itself like ever other channel. If it's any good at all then it will be able to do so, and if it's not then why should we pay for it. If the government thinks we want to pay then have a referendum on it: but they know what the result would be.
    2
  10615. The not so great thing about Boris is that he is a LIAR, a CHEAT, and a HYPOCRITE. No one like this should be allowed to be a MP, let alone a PM!
    2
  10616. Televising his face outside a horror movie is a hostile act.
    2
  10617. There's a very good reason Trump is called TACO. His threats are absolutely worthless. Sanctions right now would be "very serious". He's like a Queen of Hearts: "Heads chopped off yesterday, heads chopped off tomorrow, but heads never chopped off today".

  10619. To be honest I'd much rather ride a bicycle. However, if e-scooters get lots of fat lazy people out of their cars then as long as they are on the road, and only pose a risk to their drivers, I'm all for them. It reduces noise and pollution But since the bloody police have been letting people get away with cycling on the pavements, for years, it's a bit rich for them to now make a fuss about e-scooters on the road. Get the bikes and e-scooters off our pavements first!

  10620.  @silver4831  Do you really not know that very little, if any, electricity in the UK is now generated with coal?
    2
  10621. It doesn't have to be a country. All you need is one nut job in one lab, with suicidal tendencies, who wants to take as many people as possible with him. He doesn't need to sneak the pathogen out, just infect himself and then frequent really crowded places.

  10624. ​ @graveperil2169  That's why they instead of docking in the England they should head back to France return the dinghy boys to where they set sail from and destroy their dinghies and life jackets. If the French won't allow docking then the dinghies and dinghy boys should be put back in the water as close to France as possible. In this case it should be done so far down the French coast that there is zero possibility of them heading anywhere but to France.

  10625. CIA and MI6 take note. This is a rare opportunity to see that Rocket Man suffers a fatal flying "accident" before he does something really crazy.

  10626. And scenes YouTube finds distressing, judging by all the comments that they remove or hide. Can anyone see the one I had to reenter in French?

  10627. On the plus side, with prevailing Westerlies, a lot of released radioactivity would be blown straight into Russia.
    2
  10628. There's a very clear pattern to the deaths in this war. Almost everyone killed by Ukraine is an enemy combatant, whereas most of those killed by Russia are defenceless civilians.
    2
  10629. The coverups about mRNA vaccines are far further ranging than Westminster. YouTube pulls out all the stops to remove anything that suggests mRNA vaccines might be responsible for any deaths. This happens regardless of how solid the science is or how reputable the source is. Dr. John Campbell is absolutely meticulous about the sources he quotes and the SCIENCE he reports. Yet YouTube removed his video and banned him for a week, without offering any explanation.
    2
  10630. If any Muslim group ever thought of taking out Modi now would be a good time as most in the West wouldn't mind in the least.

  10631. I'm surprised Putin didn't add "it's not personal, it's simply business". I bet meatball marinara is one of his favourites.
    2
  10632. This is true, but regardless, Europe needs to make certain that Putin's aggression isn't rewarded in even the smallest degree.
    2
  10633. Easy fix. "Remove" Putin!
    2
  10634. Well, nobody expects Putin to admit he's getting a good spanking, and that it hurts. And anyone else saying so risks having some polonium added to their next cup of tea.
    2
  10635. I'd be very surprised if the Orcs knew where Ukrainian arms depots were.
    2
  10636. But ZERO condemnation by the likes of the UN for Hezbollah's deliberate strikes on Israeli civilians!
    2
  10637. The simple fact is that one can never give into blackmail. If the Orcs are launching attacks from this power station then they have to be taken out. There's no other alternative. If there is a radioactive leak then at least the prevailing Westerlies should take a lot of it into Russia, which is what they richly deserve.
    2
  10638. When you look at how easily people, all over the so-called free world, gave up their freedoms when confronted with covid-19 PROPAGANDA, it's easy to see how dictatorships develop.
    2
  10639. He's a rabid psychopath. That's exactly what he expected.
    2
  10640. If Ukraine can keep this up, or even increase such attacks then Putin won't have any spare oil and gas to sell, to finance his purchase of weapons from Iran and North Korea.
    2
  10641. This sounds very similar to some of Putin's excuses for invading Ukraine. No wonder Trump seems to be on his side. Denmark is currently a vastly better ally than the US is under Trump!
    2
  10642. Then maybe it's time to stop being afraid of Putin.

  10647. Putin should have started small, with things like controlling his own bowl movements.
    2
  10648. This is one of the very sickest things about Britain. If somebody enters your home there is absolutely no way that they have done so by accident and they fully deserve what ever they get. I'm still extremely angry about the way that poor farmer was imprisoned for shooting one of the vermin that had come back to rob him yet again. The poor man was living in constant fear, in an isolated location, and the only thing he did wrong was that he didn't shoot the other burglar too. At least most of the US has got this right.

  10649. I wouldn't trust the WHO to run a piss-up in a brewery. Whatever his many failings, Trump was right to defund these self-serving incompetents.

  10650. Non corrupt media are showing over 90% support, all over the world, for the Canadian truckers. They are heroes fighting to restore liberty and freedom, and a shining example to the rest of us.

  10652. It's just a pity that YouTube removes so many comments that share the view points of GB News.
    2
  10653. I've always suspected the face nappy brigade are missing a few marbles. Obviously the fellow with the mask fetish was too mentally challenged to understand that he was putting himself at much higher (perceived) risk by fighting with the unmasked, who are also much more likely to be unvaccinated too.

  10654. One Godfather whacked another one, but saying that in Moscow is bad for your health.

  10655. While the Russians might get these bodies back there is virtually zero probability that most will receive a funeral with their relatives, because this would reveal to the Russian people just how many deaths Putin is responsible for.
    2
  10656. Kid's education and mental health is being totally destroyed by this cowardly excuse for a man. With almost all the over 80s now vaccinated, I would expect that we will see a very substantial drop in hospitalisations by 8th February not March. But like most cowards Blow Job wants certainty. Well the certainty is the immense damage that is being done to kids with every day that they are prevented from going to school. And another certainty is that he is by far the worst prime minister that this country has ever had.
    2
  10657. I bet that, unlike David Amess, this evil man will get lots of police protection.
    2
  10658. The undeniable truth is that Trudeau is a cowardly tyrant who ran away and hid. How pathetic is that? The truckers are enjoying truly massive support both in Canada and around the world. This is not a small protest, so what does it say for the state of so many Western "democracies" that most of the media are refusing to report this story?
    2
  10659. Sars-cov-2 has never been of any concern to me, and never will. I never wore masks, did any of this social isolation nonsense, or took these rush through, poorly tested vaccines. But I guess that's because I'm not a stupid, gullible bed-wetter.
    2
  10660. Yes, illegal working is very easy to fix, but the government has no will to do so.
    2
  10661. The fact that this online "learning" and isolation happened at all is a stinging indictment on the majority of those who proport to teach our kids. This virus poses a negligible risk to the vast majority of kids, and barely touches most of their teachers. Hell, I'm 63 and have been laughing my head off, throughout this façade, at how frightened people have become about a virus that kills well under 1%, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. People in this country have sacrificed our children, for very questionable gain, and should hang their heads in abject shame. Schools, and universities, should have carried on as normal: and exams should never have been cancelled. What I find most shocking is how almost all parents simply rolled over and watched their children's education and mental health being buggered to hell, without making the smallest effort to fight for them.

    2
  10664. Maybe that's because Orcs are hated all over the world.
    2
  10665. We are now starting to see the consequences of this heavy handed policing and affront to democracy. Expect a lot more things like the Bristrol riot until the Nazi dictators in Downing Street stop trampling on peoples rights, and using the police like the Gestapo. Think poll tax riots or worse, because the poll tax riots worked.
    2
  10666. That's why they are in Belarus.
    2
  10667. A lot can happen in a year. It also gives those people who are rather "slow" and gullible time to work out what Starmer is really like. I'm no fan of Sunak, and his incompetent self-serving ministers, but I've got enough sense to realise that swapping to Labour would be like swapping indigestion for stomach cancer.

  10672. 14 grams a day is a complete joke. That's less than 4oz of meat a week. A sensible suggestion might have been considered, but people will just ignore this complete nonsense. Also, if you want people to eat less meat then the producers of veggie products need to stop ripping consumers off. Why would I buy something like Quorn when I can buy good meat more cheaply? Make veggie food MUCH cheaper, and more tasty, if you want people to eat less meat.
    2
  10673. You are just a bystander at a riot, or post a heat of the moment tweet that you didn't mean. You get a few years in jail. You march down the street with a placard saying "I love Hamas" or "I love Hezbollah", both proscribed terrorist organisations. Nothing happens to you!

  10677. We don't all eat ultra processed food. People like me cook most of our meals from scratch, and bake our own cakes and pies. Not only is it cheaper, it also tastes better. I won't lose a minute's sleep on people who won't cook because they are too lazy and stupid.

  10680. Russian army soldiers have a simple choice. They can die in Ukraine, die fighting Wagner, or they can choose to live and join Wagner in getting rid of a deranged little psychopath and his cronies.
    2
  10681. The previous offensive that was going so well stopped in winter, and that's what allowed the Russians to set up all these defensive lines that have caused this offensive so much difficulties. Are we going to even see Ukraine keep up the offensive until the end of the year: and then into the rest of the winter?
    2
  10682. Just made a similar comment. The Democrats would have romped home if they had properly protected US borders.

  10686. And has already taken 20% of it.
    2
  10687. Let's be very clear on the risk posed by covid-19 to most people. A recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that ONLY 17,500 otherwise healthy people have died from covid-19 in the last two years, and almost all were over 65. That's so much smaller than the 150,000 that the government likes to frightened people with. Covid-19 poses NEGLIGIBLE risk to most, and as such MEDICAL ETHICS clearly states that vaccinating them is unethical. This is the case even before account is taken that we do not, and cannot, know if these vaccines might have any long term adverse effects. I struggle to understand what kind of parent is willing to get their child injected with something that they absolutely do not need, and that might have repercussions in the future.
    2
  10688. I've very fond memories of having MoD money spent on me when I was a lad. I was in the CCF and got lots of free sailing, including a fantastic week spent at HMS Raleigh. That money could be far better spent on existing CCF and similar organisations, and expanding them. Not only would it probably encourage diversity, but it would also, albeit in a small way, improve the preparedness of our armed forces.

  10689. While Biden might well be a good and well intentioned man, he really should consider handing the baton to his vice president. Unfortunately it's many incidents like this that are emboldening all the world's mad dictators.

  10693. If you want an idea of just how bad AI can be then just look at YouTube's censorship bots. They remove vast amounts of posts and comments that most people would agree with, but you don't have to look hard to find tons of smutty, sexual, and highly objectional material that crops up almost everyday, and is left there no matter how many times it is reported.

  10695. With a seriously struggling NHS, helping nut jobs is way down on my list of health priorities.

  10696. It may be a lot worse now, but it was also very bad under the Tories. With seas surrounding the UK it is very easy to defend our borders, but neither this nor the last government have the will to. That's the simple truth.
    2
  10697. Murdering defenceless women and children is par for the course for Russia, as it gets its arse whipped whenever it goes up against real soldiers on the battlefield. In the future, at the cost of alliteration, I think we will be calling someone a cowardly Russian, rather than a cowardly custard.

    2
  10700. Am I the only one to be bemused by the fact that a game involving 22 people kicking a piece of leather around is receiving so much attention? No wonder our country is in such a mess if people think that this was worthy of being considered the most important bit of news yesterday.
    2
  10701. Sooner or later, because the police don't take action against hardline Muslims, the far right will. One of these hardline MOBS will get slaughtered. And you know what? Most of us will be cheering on the far right group that did it.

  10702. Most dangerous moment for Putin's survival that he has faced yet. And it gets more dangerous for him by the day. So expect ever more pathetic blabbering from him.
    2
  10703. How many times does it have to be said? Most people in London have absolutely no need to drive, and indeed they would be better off financially if they didn't have a car. With cleaner air for our kids, less noisy and less congested roads, ULEZ is a big win for everybody. Don't be like an idiot I used to know who used to drive to work from Bermondsey to just the other side of the Vauxhall bridge.

  10704. If the Chinese money goes to help ordinary islanders then fair enough. These are poor people, and the West should simply have offered them a better or comparable deal. HOWEVER, if a corrupt elite are syphoning off that money for themselves, then a special ops team ought to be sent in to take them all out!
    2
  10705. The only reason Britain is facing calls for reparations is that people recognise that Stamer is a weak schmuck who might just be prepared to squander the British taxpayers' money on such nonsense.
    2
  10706. Lee Anderson told the TRUTH! The UK government has itself designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation. Yet only a couple of days ago the Met Police arrested a man for holding up a sign saying exactly this. What more proof is needed?
    2
  10707. Sadly these dyed-in-the-wool cowards are too busy gibbering in fear to listen to reason.
    2
  10708. Other countries have banned these pro-Hamas marches. When is our gutless government going to do the same?
    2
  10709. This man is the best proof that, in the UK, you can be a complete and utter idiot and still achieve great wealth and power. The chance of ANY spread of the virus due to two fully vaccinated people meeting indoors (or even French kissing) is effectively ZERO. You have more chance of winning the lottery! What Downing Street is now doing to the British people is simply exercising control over them for the shear hell of it. There is absolutely no scientific reason for it. This was once a free and democratic country. It's looking more and more likely that the only way it will be again is if people are prepared to stand up and fight to get their liberty back.
    2
  10710. REAL experts like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta were very clear that lockdowns would not work, and that only the most vulnerable (less than 1%) should have been isolated. But she, and others like her, were completely ignored, and even heavily censored. The main cause of our current economic woes are the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns, for a virus that only every posed a threat to about 0.3%. We also now know that most masks were COMPLETELY USELESS. This is hardly surprising when you realise that the size of a virus in comparison to the mask mesh is rather like that of a fruit fly to the fencing used by most tennis courts. The mRNA in the experimental vaccines has also be found in the blood stream 28 days later, when it was never meant to make it further than the arm muscle that it was injected into. I'm so glad I didn't wear a mask or take a vaccine that most should never have been given.
    2
  10711. Apart from its military importance, this panic shows just how beneficial it would be to put the Kerch bridge completely out of commission. As the remaining two lanes are still open to light traffic, a car packed with C4 ought to do the trick.
    2
  10712. Most Brits don't want to know that, among the developed countries, Britain is one of the meanest when it comes to looking after its elderly.
    2
  10713. The sad and undeniable truth is that in the UK our water companies have been allowed to pay dividends and bonuses instead of spending that money on properly treating our sewage, and preventing vast amounts of water being wasted through leaky pipes. To satisfy greedy shareholders, and senior executives, far more water than actually gets to our taps is being extracted and poison is being pumped into our rivers and costal areas. The vast majority of UK citizens would not object in the slightest if water companies were re-nationalised without paying any compensation.

  10714. Can we really not produce enough of our own chickens, which don't incur the environmental and economic cost of being transported 1000's of miles?

  10720. Hate to break it to you scientific ignoramuses, but the size of most quantum leaps is of the order of Plank's constant, which is really, really small.🤣
    2
  10721. By far the easiest, and most face-saving way out of all this for Russia is to: 1. "Remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men" 2. Blame everything upon them 3. Withdraw from Ukraine. There must me quite a few in a position to carry out step 1.
    2
  10722. So, we are seeing high levels of infection in France and Spain, but with hardly any deaths. Dr. Campbell's speculation on India and parts of South America is also food for thought. Apart from dishonest and desperate politicians, I think most of us can be fairly certain that we won't see a vaccine this year, and probably for at least another 6 to 12 months. What we know beyond any doubt is that lockdowns, quarantines and social distancing are having a truly devastating effect on peoples lives. Businesses and jobs are disappearing at warp speed. Young peoples' education is being irredeemably wrecked. There is also a massive, though less visible, health toll. Many are not receiving the life critical medical care they need, and mental health issues are going through the roof. In view of all this, many are looking enviously at Sweden and are now absolutely certain that, albeit belatedly, we really must follow their example. All the terribly damaging measures need to be lifted, and the entire focus should be on isolating the very relatively small numbers who are truly vulnerable. Why isn't this happening? Because most politicians, and definitely our government, are cowards and cheats. Any change would involve admitting that the approach they took is wrong, and that a large amount of the suffering it caused could have been avoided. So, to avoid losing face, they continue to inflict yet more pain and suffering, totally unnecessarily on the vast majority, for whom covid-19 is less concern than a bad cold or flu.
    2
  10723. The elephant in the room is that due to age discrimination most people find it damn near impossible to get a job at an age well before retirement. This is meant to be illegal, but like FGM the government and the courts turn a blind eye. Thus, people need to be retired because they very often can't get a job. As for the UK pension ever being generous, consider this. Someone on minimum wage, who is probably really struggling, gets around 2.5 times the state pension. So, how are most OAPs expected to survive. As for the government reneging on the triple lock, it couldn't have been better timed to really hurt old people. Their heating bills are set to go through the roof, and their food bills won't be far behind.
    2
  10724. The care home situation continues. Thanks to the government sacking all those care workers, many are now DYING as a direct result of the remaining carers being stretched too thinly to meet the most basic needs of those being cared for. But, no surprise, mainstream media doesn't want to report the consequences of vaccine mandates.
    2
  10725. All those killed were civilians. Russia is very good at murdering defenceless women and children: not so good on the battlefield, against real soldiers.
    2
  10726. Like the father, the daughter was an evil Nazi Putin supporter, so the world is better off without her. Her father can now get a taste of what so many Ukrainian families are feeling. I really hope to see many more such attacks in Moscow. It's high time Putin supporters started to fear losing their lives as well as their yachts, and that they don't feel safe anywhere!

  10728. In the UK most parents haven't got the guts to admit how bad our school system is.

  10729. NATO has never needed an excuse, it could simply have been invited in by an independent sovereign state to help in its defence. The thing is that without NATO there Putin is unable to validate his claim that he is defending Russia.
    2
  10730. While Putin and his so-called "strong men" are in power there's zero chance of peace. Get rid of these deranged psychopaths and there's no reason why Russia shouldn't enjoy good relations with Ukraine and most other countries.
    2
  10731. Have a heart. Do you know how expensive it is letting council staff and civil servants work from home, and only do 4 days a week. The next thing you will be suggesting is that they put in a solid, hard 40 hours a week like the rest of us.
    2
  10732. "For God's sake, get this man out of power!" This is one of the most sensible things Biden has ever said. If we could crowd fund hiring a hitman or a bounty on Putin it would go to tens of millions, if not more, in next to no time.
    2
  10733. I don't think that there should be a license, as many other countries manage perfectly well without one. I also think that people who don't watch any of the BBC's offerings should have to pay it. BUT those who do watch BBC without a license deserve whatever comes their way, because they cost the rest of us honest people more.
    2
  10734. Most of these "poor" people would actually be better off if they got rid of their cars and used public transport, or biked, or cycled. Apart from tradesmen, who can easily pass the extra cost onto their customers, very few people in the London area need to drive. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. What kind of sick, selfish bastard is happy to poison the air our children breath?
    2
  10735. "goody bags" Yvonne Ridley needs to get a goodie bag with a specially modified pager in it!
    2
  10736. The trouble is that Downing Street's propaganda campaign has been incredibly successful. Josef Goebbels would have been immensely proud of what they have achieved with their repeated lies. We now have (possibly) a majority of cowardly, terrified snowflakes who are scared of catching covid-19 from their own shadow, and will unquestioningly do whatever this government says. Add to this all the morons who don't understand that they will ultimately have to pay a very high price for their furlough. Most of the people in this country really aren't very bright. This is why they elect people like Boris.
    2
  10737. And YouTube removed my comment saying that there is no justification for butchering women and children.
    2
  10738. So professor Harden has chosen to ignore the massive study in Israel. A few days ago they published their concerns about not sticking to the gap between jabs that had been PROVEN TO WORK. Is this government lapdog "scientist" absolutely certain that the immune system doesn't require a second challenge, with the SAME vaccine, within a few weeks? We've seen enough restrictions that don't work, and it's not because of people "not following the rules". Wouldn't it be ironic if the vaccination program went to hell because the government itself didn't follow the rules which the vaccine trials show DO WORK?
    2
  10739. For years the police and courts have tiptoed around the horrific abuse of vulnerable young white girls. There has also never been a single prosecution for the truly vile and evil crime of FGM, which is still going on.
    2
  10740. People who have had both doses for over 2 weeks DO NOT get covid-19, apart from the incredibly rare immunocompromised person. There's a world of difference between a positive PCR test due to having just a few viral particles (or fragments or a viral particle) and actually having covid-19.
    2
  10741. I find it sickening and pathetic that so many people now feel the need to prove that they are not racist. Give it another few years and we will have players on their hands and their knees sticking their arses in the air to prove that they aren't islamophobic.

  10742. Another contributor to our diversity!

  10743. Unless you are a complete idiot this is very easy to deal with. You put them straight back on another plane to where they took off from. They don't even get to leave the airport! Try pulling this one on landing at a US or Australian airport.

  10744. If I remember correctly there was a famous judgement, that now serves as precedent, that someone being attacked cannot be expected to weigh to a nicety how much force to respond with.

  10745. I wonder if it ever crossed Malala's mind that, as a high profile figure, she could do a lot more for women by abandoning the head covering.
    2
  10746. I support Ukraine, but if they are responsible for this strike then it's an embarrassment that looks more like the fumbling of Putin's FSB goons. There's plenty of significant infrastructure in the Moscow area that it would be far better to aim these drones at. This is just a waste of firepower.
    2
  10747. Bugger the deaths and bugger the infections. Now that almost all the over 80s have been vaccinated the only important figure to watch is the hospitalisations. I'm expecting these to start plummeting.
    2
  10748. A freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that ONLY 17,500 otherwise healthy people died of covid-19 in the last two years, and that almost all were over 65. I other words, as people like me have been saying all along, covid-19 poses a negligible risk to the vast majority of people. Also, natural immunity has been proven, beyond reasonable doubt, to be vastly superior and longer lasting than vaccination. So Pure Bloods like me regard those who GOT vaccinated, with poorly tested vaccines, as intensely stupid.
    2
  10749. Very well done. Now all the UK wimps who have rolled over for this government need to notice how the police were powerless to do anything about it. Oppressed people of Britain need to fight to take back their freedom. The scum in Downing Street can only grind them down when the vast majority act like frightened sheep. People have nothing to lose by fighting back except their chains!
    2
  10750. We all know its sick psychopaths that support Putin and Russia.
    2
  10751. 15% my ass. Simply divide the number of deaths by the IFR, which is less than 0.3% and you invariably come out with a much larger figure than governments give. This means one of two things. Either deaths due to covid-19 are grossly exaggerated or infections are grossly understated. Either of these are down to deliberate scaremongering. Lots less deaths make the virus far less scarey. Lots more infections means far more people are immune. They now have nothing to worry about AND don't need vaccinating. Governments are extremely keen to dispel either of these views.
    2
  10752. This is exactly what many of us have been saying would happen. Bleeding heart liberals, whose bravest act is changing lanes on the motorway, tied the hands of NATO and US troops. These brave lads were fighting rabid animals who are completely devoid of any rationality or humanity. If our soldiers had been given carte blanche to use whatever means necessary there's a reasonable chance that this cancer could have been expunged from Afghanistan.

  10755. Every mad dog fundamentalist killed makes the world a better place. Well done Israel!
    2
  10756. The US has just reported a very serious allergic reaction. To be fair this seems to be very rare, but so is the chance of a young heathy person experiencing any ill effects from covid-19. Do you see where I'm going with this?
    2
  10757. The Orcs are sh*t at fighting real soldiers. That's why they focus on defenseless women and children.
    2
  10758. It's often exceedingly stupid. Despite being nearly 64 I am probably one of the best STEM teachers in the country: an area where there is a desperate shortage of teachers. Yet, if I wanted to teach in a school, the scum that run most of them wouldn't have me because they would have to pay me top of the main teaching scale, and it's impossible to bully me. Luckily, I much prefer to privately tutor A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry, than work in most of the UK's truly awful schools. However there are probably a good number of others who would be prepared to go into schools. Just think how much such people could help kids catch up on the education that was stolen form them during this pandemic panic.
    2
  10759.  @alwayspooh1588  If it was something like Vietnam I could agree with you, but we are talking about animals that shoot little girls for going to school. It's the difference between talking about killing ordinary German soldiers and the SS you found running a death camp.
    2
  10760. There is no need to discuss this or speculate. ONLY Russia had the means to do this.

  10762. You can't just blame it on the Tories, because UK state education has been going down the toilet for several decades. But then why would most MPs give a damn when they can either send their kids to a private school, or get them into a very selective, and very rare, state school that's still good.
    2
  10763. Russia's Plan C should be to "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men", blame them for everything, and withdraw from Ukraine. It's by far the easiest, and most facing saving, way out of this debacle.
    2
  10764. I wish I could have swapped places with Dr. James, but then what I would have have said to this jumped up minister would probably have been censored. Even the CDC, very reluctantly, has been forced by the science to admit that: 1. Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. 2. Natural immunity, unlike vaccination, is long lasting, and may even last a lifetime, 3. Those with natural immunity receive NO BENEFIT from being vaccinated. Most of these doctors and nurses that the government would dearly love to sack have natural immunity, because they have worked their butts off, for nearly 2 years, in the front line. They also KNOW that sometimes adverse side effects take YEARS to surface, and very sensibly aren't prepared to take TOTALLY UNNECESSARY risks, with a vaccine they don't need.

  10769. Let's think this through. Who has the most to gain by striking a hospital? Israel gains nothing by striking a non-military target full of sick people. However, Hamas gains a lot if they can convince the Palestinians, and the rest of the world, that Israel did it: and they have very clearly demonstrated a total disregard for innocent lives. Killing your own people and blaming the other side is a tried and tested strategy that we have also seen Putin adopt several times. Is anyone really naive enough to think Hamas wouldn't do something like this?
    2
  10770. If the government had a shred of decency then they would immediately reinstate the "triple lock" that so many desperately poor OAPs really need. Thanks to that CHEAT Sunak they will get a rise well below inflation.
    2
  10771. Worse than useless, because they support and encourage Hamas!
    2
  10772. There's nothing at all "fishy". Putin has absolutely no intention of keeping any deal he made with Prigozhin and will try to have him killed as soon as possible. In effect both of them bottled it. Neither wanted to test how strong support was for the coup, hence the deal.
    2
  10773.  @dpelpal  Since a lot of Putin's support comes from pensioners, worthless pensions would be poetic justice.
    2
  10774. Well this is what happens when rabid psychopaths like Putin are allowed to run a country! There are still people like Hitler and Stalin being born everyday, and what century it is will never change this. Most of them will end up in places like Broadmoor, but sadly some of them attain positions of great power, where they do great harm.

  10776. Having lived in New Zealand I can tell you that New Zealand First should be call Winston Peters First. Winston Peters is one of the most odious and self-serving men in New Zealand. When I was living there he help a minority government get into power, rather than the party that had received the most votes. It would be hard to put into words the utter contempt myself and many others hold him in. That being said, making a brainless bimbo like Arden PM doesn't reflect well on New Zealand.

  10780. Those of us who aren't seriously mentally challenged have known for a long time now that, to quote Cummings, Hancock is a serial liar. It will be entertaining to watch some more of his lies uncovered.
    2
  10781. Considering that a well regarded large scale study in Israel indicated that natural immunity might be better than vaccination, and even last a lifetime, its strange that Nadav doesn't mention this. How many more people have to die? How many more people have to lose their jobs and businesses through lockdowns, before dishonest politicians finally decide to take the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration? Just isolate the most vulnerable and let mother nature do the heavy lifting, by establishing natural herd immunity. In contrast to the year spent developing these ineffective vaccines, mother nature has two billion years of practice getting it right.
    2
  10782. Dose anyone now doubt the Biden has completely lost the plot? Is he now so mentally enfeebled as not to realise the incredible amount of offence his condolences are going to cause. For DECENT people this death is a cause for jubilation! For Trump's presidential campaign Biden running against him is the gift that just keeps on giving. Do the Democrats really not understand the urgency of choosing another leader?
    2
  10783. Dr. Campbell, have you seen the very recent video published on YouTube by Dr. Suneel Dhand? It's a real shocker. Jump to 4:50 in it for the punch line. He has dug up reports from 2017 clearly stating that nasty side effects are associated with mRNA vaccines. So it appears that governments who pressured people to take these vaccines were well aware that they were not safe.

  10791. The WRONG scientists were listened to! The REAL experts, who subsequently drafted the Great Barrington Declaration, KNEW that covid-19 posed a serious threat to under 1% of the population. They also suspected, and were proved right, that those who had had the virus would get EXCELLENT NATURAL IMMUNITY. But their very wise advice to just isolate the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed was wantonly ignored!

Of course, TTK and Labour will fight tooth and nail to prevent such statistics being published.

Just take a look at this heartbreaking video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkVN3KwDfvI Governments don't give a damn about the harm these vaccines are already doing, and the possibility that vastly more harm may come to light in the future.

  10812. Some autoimmune disorders take a lot longer to kick in. I'm confidently expecting to see excess cases of things like type 1 diabetes and early onset dementia in the coming years.

  10813. Perhaps Emperor Xi should worry more about bolstering China's flood defences than taking over Taiwan? But, like Putin, the lives of ordinary citizens don't matter to him in the least.
    2
  10814. Is anyone asking why, having had 2 billion years to perfect the immune system, mother nature decided to let antibody levels drop and use memory B and T cells to regenerate them ONLY when needed. Could it possibly be because there might be a serious downside to keeping those antibody levels high? But don't worry about it. The politicians and their lackey "scientists" have told you it's safe, so it must me. I'm sure the sheep feel safe as they are led into the abattoir.😉

  10819. The vindictiveness and spitefulness of the Australian government truly beggars belief. Novak is hardly going to do a runner, and he is not infectious, so there is no rational reason to detain him. Any decent fair-minded human being would have let him get on with his practice until a definite decision is reached. But then Australians have elected scum of the earth who are bereft of the least shred of human decency.

  10821. As Mark Twain remarked, it's much easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled. The majority really don't want to be told that they agreed to have their lives turned upside down for two years, and the economy wrecked, for nothing. And most parents definitely don't want to hear that they let their children have their education and mental health buggered to hell for no good reason. Or that they let them have a vaccine that they absolutely didn't need and that might cause them autoimmune diseases in years to come.

  10825. Just imagine, in the light of continuing excess deaths, governments having to explain to people that MOST of them never needed these rushed through vaccines!
    2
  10826. When I look at how many good decent ex-military have volunteered their services in Ukraine I have to wonder whether there are any ex special ops that could go in and take out a few of these junta leaders. Once a few started dying the rest would soon learn that being a despot is bad for your health.

  10832. As doctors who know their stuff will tell you a positive PCR test just means a viral fragment has been detected in your body. It doesn't prove you have covid-19. The PCR was never invented to test for a viral infection, and using it in this way is misuse of science.

  10836. Actually the car exploded because it couldn't take the intense volume that Darya was placing Wagner at.
    2
  10837. You got that right. As some of Dr. John's videos clearly demonstrate, this virus is turning out to be no worse than what we might experience during any bad flu season. But governments are made up of self-serving, cowardly and dishonest politicians who are never going to admit that the lockdowns and quarantines represent one of the biggest ever f**k ups in human history. Only a few places like Sweden got it right.
    2
  10838. Let's be very clear on this. There is only one reason that civilians in Gaza are dying. That's because Hamas deliberately uses them as a human shield, and rather than mourning their deaths regards them as excellent propaganda. Is Israel really expected to let Hamas escape by hiding behind civilians?
    2
  10839. ​ @junchai1982  Sadly there is no good way to fix this, which is precisely why A-levels should never have been cancelled in the first place. Any HONEST teacher knew this as soon as teacher assessment was mooted, and I repeatedly said it right from the start. A-level exams should have been rescheduled: there was no fairer alternative. When you KNOW something can't be fixed you don't break it. Of course Boris and Williamson didn't give a toss about students' futures, but they didn't anticipate the incredible amount of anger that would result. Now these scum-bag cowards are trying to blame Ofqual for what is clearly THEIR doing: typical self-serving politicians.
    2
  10840. Cheap at twice the price couldn't be more right. Putin is doing this because he was allowed to get away with stealing Crimea and 20% of Georgia. If Russia isn't stopped in Ukraine then Putin will definitely attack other countries. Also, Emperor Xi will have the green light to invade Taiwan, and undertake other aggressive actions. Unless the US has already decided that it will allow these things to also occur, then stopping Russia in Ukraine is that famous "stitch in time saves nine", which will be vastly cheaper.
    2
  10841. I find Modi cosying up to Putin vastly more offensive: funny that.

  10845. I heard they were being packed with TNT. There are now much more powerful explosives. Pack some with these, shape the explosive well, and there's a good chance that some of the supports of Putin's beloved Kerch bridge could be taken out, which would finish it once and for all.

  10852. What the stupid and the envious never consider is how much it would cost to educate all those extra kids if most private schools close. Putting VAT on private education is likely to cost more money rather than bring any in. So, when Labour tells you they have costed all their spending be very, very cynical. Rather than putting on VAT, money could probably be saved by giving parents a tax rebate on school fees, so that a lot more choose private education!

  10853. The meaning of Christmas? Easy. It was a good honest PAGAN feast to celebrate the winter solstice and bring cheer during the long cold nights. It was usurped by Christians.

  10854. Come on, let's be honest. Just as some people are ugly so are some accents. One might not discriminate against people because of them, indeed one might even like the person, but that doesn't mean one has to enjoy the accent. And let's face it. Some London and Essex accents are painful to listen to.

    2
  10857. Like so many posts here, this horrifies me, on several counts. Firstly a child can never really give informed consent as they simply don't have the life experience or maturity. And a parent shouldn't be allowed to "volunteer" them. You can't, on the one hand say it's illegal for a child under 16 to have sex, and then allow this. It's logically inconsistent. Secondly, I'm fairly sure that part of medical ethics clearly states that giving a patient a treatment that he/she derives no benefit from is unacceptable. But young people are at negligible risk from this virus, therefore it is wrong to vaccinate them.
    2
  10858.  @arthurlewis9193  Not the kids in the trial. They are healthy kids, being experimented on for the sake of a very tiny percentage of other kids. As such they gain, and will never gain, any benefit from these trials.
    2
  10859. What sensible people need to understand is there are now millions of bed wetting snowflakes in the UK who never want restrictions to end. Indeed many would like them tightened. These cowards will never be convinced, so we shouldn't waste any time on them. Just lift the restrictions and let the cravens cower under their stones. Nobody will miss them. In fact society will be be better by their absence.
    2
  10860. There's no ceasefire as yet. What Putin calls de-escalation is a pathetic attempt to relabel retreat under fire, in areas where, to his acute embarrassment, he is getting his arse well and truly kicked. In little over a month he has killed more Russians than in their entire Afghanistan campaign. How's that for incompetence? If he were genuinely interested in peace we would be seeing a withdrawal or at least a ceasefire in areas like Mariupol.

  10863. While all these police were acting as Blow Job's and Hancock's Gestapo, there were people who really needed them being robbed, assaulted and rapped. So many people are now calling 999 in vain, because instead of dealing with REAL CRIME the police are spending their time harassing PEACEFUL demonstrators. Is it really too much to expect the police to exercise some common sense and basic decency by prioritising the needs of people who are in very real danger? The police are constantly jabbering on about working with the community, and building their trust and support. Do they not understand that this Nazi style oppression is putting this back decades.

  10869. Brits having been seething for at least several years now. We see hate preachers put up in council houses and given generous benefits, instead of being deported. We see illegals housed in hotels that most of us cannot afford to stay in, rather than being interned in Nissen huts on some remote island. And we see people who don't belong here marching down are streets chanting Allahu Akbar. This country looks vastly different from the way it did when I was at school, and not for the better.

  10880. Alex, there's something deeply instinctual, and thus hard to rationalise or fight against. I don't know if it works differently for women, but the thought of another man having been with your woman is deeply repulsive and distressing to many men. It's roots lie in the fact that until very recently men have always had to worry about being cockolded into bringing up another man's offspring. Women don't have this deeply rooted inbuilt instinct because any child was always theirs. Even if you don't have, or intend to have, kids that powerful primeval instinct remains.

  10894. Blame Hamas, not Israel. In Ukraine they try to move civilians from the battle front. In Gaza cowardly Hamas hide among them and use them as human shields.
    2
  10895. Orcs, you can run, but you can't hide!
    2
  10896. Due to mRNA vaccines?
    2
  10897. It's very simple. If MPs haven't yet voted on the measures then they are NOT yet legal. People also need to remember three little words: "I am exempt". The goons are not allowed to question you about your private medical history. However, there is a reason that governments are so frightened of this particular variant, which I'm calling the Fluffy Kitten variant. South African doctors have described it as EXTREMELY MILD. As such, it has the very real potential to SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people. Imagine how embarrassing this would be for the government, and how loosened their grip on power would then be.

  10898. I bet if (though it's completely legal) you wore a T-shirt depicting Mohamed a whole squad of police would appear very quickly to arrest you.

  10899.  @engliterra355  Nice try Putin fanboy. Try no to cry too much.
    2
  10900.  @opfortyforteaaa  Just this particular episode, Putin fanboy.
    2
  10901. ​ @opfortyforteaaa  Of course the fact that you joined YouTube in October doesn't make it at all likely that you are a Kremlin troll.
    2
  10902. With a name like Magmood this won't come as any surprise. Judges need to show that they are worthy of their positions and public trust by vigorously refuting these new guidelines. When they were in law school it was drilled into them that all are equal before the law, and that ignorance of it was no defense. It's time they upheld the right and proper values that they were brought up with!

  10903.  @orthodoxserb6596  Serb tells us all we need to know about this poster.

  10904. Throughout all this bloody nonsense I have made sure I don't take any tests. So nobody can tell me to isolate. Problem solved.
    2
  10905. There is no such thing as "irregular migrants", just ILLEGAL ALIENS.
    2
  10906. No it bloody well isn't normal to feel unwell after a vaccine. I've got a little yellow book full of stamps to show the lots of vaccinations I've chosen, and paid, to have. Never have I felt bad after any of them! From speaking to people I'm getting the strong impression that those who suffer after covid-19 vaccines are the ones who have already had covid-19. They have recovered from it and now already have natural long term immunity. The reason they feel bad is because their immune system is reacting to the antigens in a vaccine that they do not need. This is conjecture on my part, but it really does need to be looked into. If I'm right then vaccinating immune people is causing them unnecessary suffering and is therefore HIGHLY UNETHICAL! It shouldn't be that difficult to develop a test for immunity. Perhaps a micro dose of the inactivated virus could be used to elicit a VERY SMALL inflammation in those who are immune, or the antibodies produced in response could be tested for. Developing such a test is probably vastly easier than developing the vaccines.
    2
  10907. How about NOT charging OAPs a license fee? When I lived in Ireland, about 40 years ago, which is comparatively poor compared to the UK, old people used to get free TV and free travel THROUGHOUT the country. If Ireland can afford this then the UK most certainly can!
    2
  10908. MOST of us in this country have been saying for many years that PC police and councils have been turning a blind eye to the abhorrent crimes of certain groups. This is just as bad, if not worse, as police victimising young black men, and should be severely PUNISHED!
    2
  10909. Same nonsense has been going on in NZ for decades. There's no shortage of Aryan looking Kiwis claiming Maori heritage.
    2
  10910. Years ago I lived in Christchurch, in what was then one of the freest countries in the world. Never did I dream that NZ would go full-throttle Nazi dictatorship. This is a virus that kills under 1 in 1000. It posses a negligible risk to young people, and those who have had it gain superb long lasting (maybe for life) NATURAL IMMUNITY. There is absolutely no excuse for lockdowns and vaccine mandates. What's really got me LMAO is that none of these vaccines appear to offer long term immunity, so the gullible sheep are going to be lining up for another jab every 6 months. God only knows what this will do to their immune system, but you can be fairly certain that most governments don't give a toss.
    2
  10911. Whoever was responsible for hiring Matt Hancock should be immediately sacked for gross misconduct!

  10912. No matter how much evidence like this is presented the BBC and the UN will refuse to believe it.

  10914. After another 4½ years of Labour will there be anything left of this country that's worth saving?
    2
  10915. No doubt murdered by the Russians, and maybe even tortured first!
    2
  10916. Polonium in the tea, poisoned umbrella tips, nerve agents smeared on door handles, and people falling out of windows. The favoured methods of Psycho Putin. It's just a shame none of these things have happened to him. I'd happily poison the entire Kremlin if it was the only way to take out Putin!
    2
  10917. Turkey is well and truly doing Putin's bidding, by blocking Sweden's and Finland's membership of NATO, so Swedes have every reason to be furious. And as for getting upset over burning a work of fiction, that's just plain crazy. As far as I'm concerned people are free to dance around bonfires fueled by the Bible, the Koran, or the complete works of William Shakespeare.
    2
  10918. Postal votes are open to very serious abuse, and show only be allowed in the most extreme of circumstances. Among certain communities they allow the "man of the house" to make absolutely certain that his wife and children vote exactly the same way he does. Polling stations are open from very early to very late, so most people can definitely get to them.
    2
  10919. Is a nuclear power like Pakistan really going to do nothing, and allow itself to be humiliated by an upstart state like Iran?
    2
  10920. No, poisoning other peoples air, and blighting their lives with noise pollution is the crime.
    2
  10921. Don't forget to tell Scholz first, so he can warn Putin.
    2
  10922. With regard to a prosecution being "in the public in public interest" I personally know that the CPS has made some very wise decisions in this respect. There are times when a person does something totally out of character, and no real harm is done. They could be prosecuted, but nobody would benefit, and an otherwise good and respectable person would end up with a criminal record. So the CPS decides not to prosecute.
    2
  10923. Most of us have been saying this about Sunak for ages. One could also add that he is none too bright. You don't need much intelligence to get a PPE degree, no matter where you get it. Likewise, buying a roll of toilet paper would be a better investment than an MBA.
    2
  10924. Let's be HONEST about two things: 1. If you have recovered from covid-19 you now have excellent natural immunity, which is at least as good as that conferred by vaccination, and may last a lifetime. 2. If you are young this virus poses a negligible risk to you. Both above groups really do not need to get vaccinated. More importantly, the mRNA vaccines are very new technology, for which we cannot know whether there might be very nasty UNFORESEEN side effects in the future. Remember, thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It took 4 YEARS before people even started to realise the horror it could unleash.
    2
  10925. When it comes to postings any fair and decent government would accept that ALL of us sometimes say things in the heat of the moment that we don't mean. Unless there's evidence of sustained postings designed to incite law breaking then a jail sentence is WRONG.
    2
  10926. That's what's got big pharma and power crazed governments so frightened!
    2
  10927. Add more symptoms, really? It's already looking like everything from baldness to erectile disfunction are being blamed on covid-19.

  10930. The problem is that if you are dyed-in-the-wool Labour then rather than try to improve the lot of some, especially it they are more deserving, it's better to drag everyone done into the gutter.

  10932. Quiz Master: What is someone who doesn't keep his own rules called? Boris: A hippodrome? Quiz Master: Close.
    2
  10933.  @leem3255  You really are thick, aren't you? Right at the start the REAL experts told governments not to lockdown, but just isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. This WOULD have saved many lives!
    2
  10934. This is beginning to look like a one-way street, as it's a while since we have heard of any Ukrainian attacks.
    2
  10935. This has been going on in the UK for decades. Another common con is substituting cheaper ingredients. There are no two ways about this. It is a form of slight of hand specifically designed to mislead customers who don't carefully check the label, which most of us don't do. Years ago lying and cheating were something to be deeply ashamed of, but today many people seem to think that deceiving someone else is clever and something to be proud of.

  10938. Another empty threat from a very frightened little man.

  10939. So Boris, how's this distraction working out for you? Because I haven't forgotten that you still need to have your balls nailed to the floor for Partygate.
    2
  10940. Labour - soft on illegal migration - soft on crime
    2
  10941. Of course they don't care. They have got 5 years to do as they damn well like, which is long enough to totally destroy this country.
    2
  10942. Well, lots of us keep repeating the obvious solution. Nationalise all the energy producers within the UK, and UK territorial waters, without any compensation. Then the energy can be distributed in the UK at the cost of producing it. The urgent needs of 10s of millions override the obscene salaries of CEOs and shareholder dividends. Only a few rich bastards would be upset by this.
    2
  10943. When are Iranians going to stop just bleating like sheep, and start fighting back? To date around 500 have been murdered, and over 18,000 have been arrested: many of whom are now being regularly tortured. Despots don't relinquish power just because people protest. You have to FIGHT for your freedom!
    2
  10944. Macron would probably move his government to Vichy if Putin asked him to.
    2
  10945. The difference is that the Ukraine military work hard to evacuate children from harm's way, whereas Hamas tries to keep them there to act as human shields.
    2
  10946. I wish we had no Apple in the UK. This is a rip off company, although to be fair it's typically idiots that buy its products.
    2
  10947. Rubbish! Too many parents cotton wool their children, which is very bad for them.
    2
  10948. I won't hold my breath to see this happening in the UK. Though I might just hold out a bit more hope if Reform UK wins the general election.

  10949. If neither Putin nor Khamenei are removed from power then you only need one guess as to where these weapons will come from: and it could be in a lot less than 2 years.

  10950. I see I'm not the only one that picked up on the electric cable, which makes this drone absolutely useless.
    2
  10951. YouTube has deleted or hidden most comments criticising the leniency of the sentences!
    2
  10952. Moscow is now much weakened. There has never been a better time for regions to make their bid for freedom and secede from the Russian Federation. As soon as one has the guts to do so we will almost certainly see the famous domino effect. This is now one of Putin's greatest fears, and the longer the West supports Ukraine in its fight for freedom, the more likely this becomes.
    2
  10953.  @emilysweet9082  There are indeed some very decent and reputable MPs, but they are a small minority.
    2
  10954. Good decent Austrians, fighting to prevent their country's return to the 1930s. Thanks for reporting this France24, because the government lackeys in our BBC certainly wont.
    2
  10955. Decades ago a well known ploy was for pregnant women to illegally enter the US to give birth. Their child would then automatically be an American citizen, and they would then have the right to remain with them in the US for the next 18 years.
    2
  10956. And yet everyone is enjoying life without any lockdowns or restrictions. So did we ever need them? This shows that we didn't, and it's a pity Boris listened to the bed-wetters instead of the sensible Swedes.
    2
  10957. The Russian military doing what they do best: murdering defenceless women and children. Of course, they are absolute rubbish on the battlefield, against real soldiers.
    2
  10958. What god is the priest talking about. The mad god Putin?
    2
  10959. You see how considerate the Ukrainians are. They wanted to show the Russians some fireworks to help them celebrate 9th May.
    2
  10960. I've just ordered a Swedish flag from Amazon. I'm going to fly it outside my house in recognition of one of the very few countries that has handled this pandemic correctly. I strongly encourage everybody else to do the same: far better than clapping for the NHS, like government puppets.
    2
  10961. Unfortunately, even if TTK is ousted, whoever replaces him will be as bad, and maybe worse. While Labour tramples on our democratic values the irony is that there is no democratic way of removing them for the next 5 years.
    2
  10962. That's exactly what myself and others said Putin would do, in the face of Ukraine receiving tanks and other armaments. And that's exactly what we want him to do!
    2
  10963.  @lorrainelane6583  It became evident very quickly that covid-19 posed no threat to over 99% of us.
    2
  10964. "Allowed" is a very appropriate word. Only civil servants of with the highest level of incompetence and negligence could have let this happen: and they too should be jailed.
    2
  10965. What do these Republicans think Iran will do if allowed to recover, send America roses and chocolates? The avowed aim of the Iranian regime is to also develop missiles that can deliver nukes to America!
    2
  10966. Putin is probably much more scared of an uprising outside the Kremlin.
    2
  10967. And Starmer hasn't? Don't make me laugh! Just like so many Tory backbenchers, who vehemently opposed totally unnecessary covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions, Starmer KNEW damn well that they would bring economic ruin to this country, and hurt the poorest most. But making the Tories unpopular, to help him get into No.10, was much more important to him than the wellbeing of the British people. Let's be in no doubt whatsoever about it. Without the staunch and unstinting support of Starmer and his Labour cronies lockdowns and restrictions couldn't have happened, and this country wouldn't now be in its perilous state.
    2
  10968. Every one knows that Olaf Scholz is an abject coward.

  10969. Love the pun. You are right, if the courts won't deliver justice then people have absolutely no choice other than to deliver it themselves.
    2
  10970. Fortunately, one can never believe any video released by Russia. A few days ago they showed purported video from the viewpoint of a kamikaze drone, but were to stupid to remember that these drone don't have cameras.
    2
  10971. "Think that they have got something worthwhile" says it all. The vast majority of degrees are Noddy degrees, not worth the paper they are printed on. Students who should be going straight out to work, earning money, and gaining valuable experience, are being royally ripped off. Most of the people teaching these Noddy degrees would be lucky to get a job stacking shelves in Tesco, if gullible students weren't paying for them to spout nonsense.
    2
  10972. Nobody should have a second home, when it pushes up prices so that people can't even afford a first home. I'm so glad I was able to buy my own home before incredibly greedy and selfish people made getting your own place unaffordable for so many.
    2
  10973. Accusing Putin of lying is about as necessary as accusing the Pope of being a Catholic.
    2
  10974. This guy cracks me up. Next he will be telling us that Ukrainians dragged his Orcs into Ukraine and destroyed their own cities and infrastructure.

  10975. If she wasn't doing this she would probably be turning tricks or staring in Russian porn videos. Hell, she's probably already done both, and maybe still does some on the side.
    2
  10976. One thing should definitely be changed. Strikers on the railways should not be allowed to sandwich one workday between strike days. This really is taking the p*ss. Why should they get paid for days when the service is barely functional?
    2
  10977. Yep more trees being taken out. Hey, wait a minute. Don't Orcs hate trees?
    2
  10978. Come on Julia, admit it. These pathetic woke students are rather amusing. Some of them put far more effort into trying to prove how non racist, classist, and sexist they are, then they do into their studies. They really are very, very funny. They are so easy to wind up, and then their histrionics are really entertaining to observe.

  10979.  @oldtimers6460  Are you saying that in Australia they don't allow you to find out if you are naturally immune? That's really frightening.
    2
  10980. The way Russian purges work is that you get eliminated if there is even the tiniest suspicion about you. Brutal purges where you are given no opportunity whatsoever to prove your innocence have been the Russian way for about a century. Many, many people, who had nothing to do with Wagner, are going to disappear.
    2
  10981. The euphemism I really love is big boned.
    2
  10982. Spot on. 0.25% is absolutely pathetic and useless. But I guess that, despite all the claims of independence, the toadies in the Bank of England didn't want to upset their Downing Street masters.

  10984. Let's not beat about the bush on this one. It's probable that most in the Labour Party would rather give arms to Hamas (at the taxpayers expense) than sell them to Israel!
    2
  10985. Very overdue.
    2
  10986. The name of this wretched tax reminds us of its original purpose, but for decades it has been used simply as another means to gouge more taxes. When it was used as intended it was a relatively small tax that no one minded paying. It would be far simpler, and much more honest to abolish this tax and incorporate it into income tax and corporation tax. But more complicated tax systems give weasel politicians more room to wriggle.
    2
  10987. Excellent!
    2
  10988. ​ @SpaceshipRocketFuel  The "advertised salary" brought a smile to my face. Decades ago I went for a job at a well known French bank, advertising a salary up to some amount I no longer remember. I told them that I wanted the upper limit stated in the advert: and I was rather reluctantly given it. This bank actually treated me very decently, in fact better than many of its French employees.
    2
  10989. ​ @nicholasmarty4370  I remember remarking on this common practice to my American manager Brian, when I was contracting at MCI World Com. He provided the following insightful reply that hadn't occurred to me: "Think about it Dave", he said. "You can't reject an applicant for being black, a woman, or many other reasons, but with a long enough list of requirements you are guaranteed a legitimate excuse."
    2
  10990. Serves them bloody right for being such gullible schmucks and trusting the Downing Street wide boys.
    2
  10991. And everyone knows that this leverage is lost, and hostage taking stops, when it is understood that there is zero possibility of negotiation over hostages.
    2
  10992. In a time of war, firing highly capable and experienced officers because of a mistake shows very poor judgement, and endangers the lives of those soldiers serving under them. War isn't nice and tidy: sometimes things go wrong.
    2
  10993. No doubt about it. Hangi style Orc is now one of Ukraine's favourite dishes.
    2
  10994. During the panICdemic almost all doctors completely ignored the medical ethics training they were given right from the start of their careers. We had a virus with an IFR of just 0.3%, or even less. We knew who were most at risk, and that the majority were at hardly any risk at all. For most Covid was much less bother than a cold. Also, after recovering people gained excellent and long lasting natural immunity. Medical ethics is VERY CLEAR that under such circumstances most people should not be vaccinated, and this is even with vaccines that have been safely used for many years! Now, in the most developed countries, which used a certain new (poorly tested) vaccine technology, excess deaths are still running at around 10%. Maybe if most doctors hadn't thrown away their ethics we might not be seeing this.
    2
  10995. Or a luxury villa in Qatar.
    2
  10996. LMAO. Young people are at negligible risk from this virus, and probably over half the population have had covid-19, and now have NATURAL IMMUNITY that is vastly better than vaccination, and may well last them a lifetime. None of them needed vaccination. Yet these schmucks rolled over for sultans of sleaze in Downing Street. They honestly believed that two jabs would give them back their freedom. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I don't know what line to add for people who are fooled time and time again.
    2
  10997. Running a country might not require rocket scientists, but it certainly isn't easy and DOES require people of well above average intelligence. Electing someone as thick as Jacinda Ardern was just begging for a good hiding: and she didn't disappoint on this.

  10998. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Emperor Xi's plane bumped into a few stingers on its way to Moscow.
    2
  10999. All well and good as long as Ukrainian pilots have the skill to fly these aircraft well, AND Ukraine has the ground support to keep them in tip-top condition. Without these prerequisites such aircraft would simply be target practice for the Orcs.
    2
  11000. Fortunately most of that grain goes to countries that either support Putin or refuse to condemn him: although the Kremlin trolls and Putin fanboys will try to convince you that this isn't the case. We need to make sure that no grain that currently goes elsewhere is diverted to these countries.
    2
  11001. You can teach a monkey to do all kinds of tricks for its bananas, but some things are beyond them.
    2
  11002. A lot more of this is going to be needed to flush the Orcs out of the rat holes they have dug themselves into. But hopefully if their supply lines can be cut off Father Winter will exterminate a lot of them: many vermin usually die when the weather gets cold enough.
    2
  11003. Actually I'm a strong supporter of ULEZ, BUT Sadiq Khan is now sounding just like Putin. Perhaps he will need a special operation to de-Nazify the traffic.
    2
  11004. That's a few less civilians that Russia will be able to murder.
    2
  11005. This is effectively a rural Russian town. Think banjos, inbreeding with your sister, and worrying farm animals if you haven't got a sister. So it's little wonder they support Putin.
    2
  11006. All it takes to "remove" Putin is one general with a conscience, or even one who just wants to collect the million dollar bounty on Putin's head.
    2
  11007. Of course the footage should be shared!
    2
  11008. A positive test definitely does not mean you are reinfected. All it shows is that a few viral particles, or even just fragments, have been detected in your mucous. This is vastly different from having a full on covid-19 infection. PCR was never intended to be used the way it is now being (ab)used!
    2
  11009. Here's a conjecture, nothing more, but it is an interesting plausible alternative explanation as to why the variant that the morons in Downing Street are panicking about has become dominant. The good doctor right at the start of the video says that we have to be aware of the signs of covid-19 illness, so we can get tested. Well, what if instead of being more infectious this new variant was a lot less harmful. Could it possibly be that it causes far more asymptomatic and/or very mild infections, and so spread more effectively simply because people didn't even realise they had it? If (not so) SAGE were reputable scientists they would certainly have considered this scenario. Of course, this would be the last thing that scum like Blow Job and Hancock would tell people. Oh, and those people recovered from such a variant would now have long term immunity for zero suffering.
    2
  11010. The CDC has now, very reluctantly, admitted that natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. Many of those stopped from working have this natural immunity and are less of a threat than the mindless sheep that took these poorly tested vaccines.

  11013. While I strongly support Ukraine, I really do fear for its future if it can't inflict some serious damage on Russia BEFORE winter sets in.
    2
  11014. Yes, I used to think what a horrible spinal injury one might get if one of these fell when I was in the sitting position.
    2
  11015. I've been saying for ages that Ukraine needs to mount a special ops style attack that does something like what the IRA did to the NatWest Tower.

  11016. No video of Wadhurst?
    2
  11017. Many innocent people went to jail because Vennells refused to make the DEFAULT assumption that a new computer system had bugs, rather than lots of postmasters committing fraud. For the pain and harm she has caused to around 900 people she richly deserves some quality time in a cosy cell with big butch Bertha!
    2
  11018. Not while Herr Macron is in charge. This despot dreams of there being a pan EU army. And guess who he dreams should be leading it?😉
    2
  11019. The young Russians I used to teach in international schools in Berlin and Milan want a peaceful democracy.
    2
  11020. Well there's an easy way for these conscripts to save their sorry arses. All they have to do is shoot their officers, collect their I.D. as proof that they have done so, and surrender to Ukrainian forces.
    2
  11021. Macron badly needs a reality check. Did talking to Adolf Hitler do any good whatsoever, unless you think the Vichy government was a good thing? Well Putin is as bad, if not worse. The only way things are going to get better is when those in a position to "remove" Putin decide that his insanity has done enough damage to Russia. The more support given to Ukraine the sooner that day will come!
    2
  11022. Most Americans don't want Trump or Biden as next president. If the Democrats are serious about winning the answer is incredibly simple. Choose another leader!
    2
  11023. Estonia knows, beyond any doubt, that it is on Putin's shopping list. Stopping him in Ukraine is a much cheaper option.
    2
  11024. They did. The second line of the text under the video says overnight.
    2
  11025. The "poll tax moment". People need to remember that this wasn't defeated by the ballot box, it was defeated by people taking to the streets and fighting physically to overturn it. Is not the violation of freedom with vaccine passports and forced vaccination of children (if the government ignores medical advice) even more worth fighting for?
    2
  11026. It's great that Poland is doing this, but why the delay of 4 to 6 weeks? Unless of course this is to panic Putin into doing something even more stupid than usual.
    2
  11027. Maybe Putin is waiting for his next consignment of drones from Iran.
    2
  11028. Every time you get an mRNA vaccine you roll the dice for having some of it end up somewhere in your body that it really shouldn't be. Maybe spin the chamber might be a better analogy.
    2
  11029.  @GamingBear_Q_E_D  Did your mummy help you spell the big words correctly? Unfortunately she too wasn't able to string them together in a sensible way.
    2
  11030. I wish people would stop calling them pro-Palestinian. They are PRO-HAMAS anti-Semites!
    2
  11031. I'd give him his phone back, but in a way he really wouldn't like, and it wouldn't function afterwards!
    2
  11032. Isn't it wonderful that the taxes of us hardworking people are being squandered on anti-Semitic Hamas supporters. And I bet that most on those marches are benefit scroungers who contribute nothing to society, and just leech from it.
    2
  11033. Why not trust American voters? Well on one side we have lots supporting an idiot who admires Putin, and thinks he can reason with him. On the other side we have lots supporting a president that now seems well into dementia. Of course, British voters are no better.
    2
  11034. Older Ukrainians will tell you that this Russian occupation was far worse that the Nazi occupation of WW II. Eyes gouged out, and ears and noses cut off, is like something out of the very worst horror stories. This is why it's so important that Russia is driven out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea, and why all countries bordering Russia need to be made strong enough to resist any future attacks.
    2
  11035. You sound like someone who took the mRNA vaccine and is now trying to convince yourself that everything will be OK.
    2
  11036. No, this time there won't be a "peace in our time" Munich agreement!
    2
  11037. Going against the advice (on this one occasion) of Witless Whitty is probably the only thing Hancock did right!
    2
  11038. So despite the desperate shortage of doctors and nurses, we are going to kick out those who probably have natural immunity, that is vastly better than vaccine induced immunity. You would be hard pressed to write a better black comedy!
    2
  11039. Rich Boy Sunak needs to backtrack on the "triple lock" that he has CHEATED OAPs out of. They will now get a rise well below inflation. Even without having what they were entitled too STOLEN from them, millions of poor OAPs would have really struggled!
    2
  11040. For years people have voiced their concerns about illegal immigration, and immigration of people who will never fit into this country. And, for years, both governments have totally ignored them. Democracy is a deal whereby the government carries out the wishes of those who elect it. The way immigration has been handled is a failure of the democratic process. Things get very dangerous when people believe that democracy is no longer working!
    2
  11041. Georgia has had 20% of its territory stolen by Putin. Similarly, it's Putin's support that is keeping Belarus's Fat Dictator in power. There are also a few regions in the Russian Federation that would rather not be part of it. If all of these acted together now, while Russia is weakened, then a permanent end could be made of the Russian Federation and its unprovoked aggression.
    2
  11042. Joseph McCarthy would have known exactly what to do with Musk.
    2
  11043. I would hope that doctors with some ethics and morality would provide this service for free, as a stand against coerced vaccination.
    2
  11044. It's not retaliation. Putin would have done what he did anyway. In fact, Putin would be doing a lot more if he hadn't been deprived of the wherewithal to do so.
    2
  11045. Isn't it amazing how people are prepared to murder each other over a total fantasy.
    2
  11046. There are no such things as psychics, just con (wo)men, and the gullible fools that believe them.
    2
  11047. Im Vergleich zu dem, was nötig ist, bleiben diese Streiks weit hinter dem zurück, was nötig ist.
    2
  11048. The latest research now seems to indicate that, in regard to stopping the spread of covid-19, vaccination merely kicks the can a few months down the road. So Gestapo style vaccination certificates, and coercion to get vaccinated, are a complete waste of resources. Regular booster jabs might keep your antibody count up, which might work, but think about it. Despite 2 billion years of practice and refinement, this is not the way mother nature does it. Could it possibly be because there might be a serious downside to maintaining a high antibody level when it isn't needed? In natural immunity antibody levels plummet, BUT memory B and T cells remain and regenerate antibodies when they are NEEDED. So, yet again, we come back to natural immunity which the government is so keen to disparage, in the face of evidence to the contrary. Large reputable studies in Israel and Cleveland have indicated that natural immunity could be better than vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. Vaccination, and booster shots, should be reserved for the vulnerable. Everyone else should be left to enjoy their life without molestation.
    2
  11049. The children thing makes me think of what we now see on the news when a school is involved. Almost always we see pictures of kids legs. Am I the only who thinks this is totally paranoid, unnatural and a bit sick?
    2
  11050. If these conscripts want to remain alive and in one piece they will hand themselves over to Ukrainian forces at the first possible opportunity.
    2
  11051. I'm certainly not a Labour fanboy, but on the other hand the idiot Tories not paying the doctors actually cost more, and made the waiting lists a lot longer.
    2
  11052. So many people had their lives destroyed, with some even going to jail. I thought such perversion of the the justice system carried a jail sentence. I guess that it's not the same law for everyone.
    2
  11053. Putin already made a speech about Catherine the Great and "historic" Russia. Are you too thick to understand it?
    2
  11054. She obviously wasn't wearing her headscarf properly.
    2
  11055. Perhaps Trump would also consider forcing Russia to rebuild the dam it destroyed, and return Ukraine's nuclear power station.
    2
  11056. Winning in Ukraine is now existential for Putin. If he has any sense of preservation he will now be stashing money away in a Swiss bank account and looking for another country, with a good supply of nappies, to live in.
    2
  11057. Who has just come out and also converted to Christianity.
    2
  11058. While I always thought Lavrov would be great as the evil monster in a Hammer Horror movie, I never realised that he had some talent as a comedian.
    2
  11059. Perhaps you might care to reflect on the deaths and terrible suffering that the Ukrainian people are enduring? No, didn't think so!
    2
  11060. We all know that most of these ministers aren't particularly bright, but surely even they can't be stupid enough to think that many people took any notice of this restriction. Most people have continued hugging and kissing for the last 15 months. Only seriously brainwashed snowflakes paid the slightest attention to this injunction. Of course it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to kiss or hug Gove. Just the thought of this is making it hard for me to hold my lunch down.
    2
  11061. I know that very little intelligence is needed to be a Spanish policeman, but even these should realise that you need to be socially distancing in order to have a snowball fight. This is repression for the pure joy of exercising power and making other people's lives as miserable as you can. No wonder the inquisition was at its strongest in Spain.
    2
  11062. He should call on Hamas to release those innocent people they kidnapped, and to stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
    2
  11063. If the so-called far-right win in France then we will see a stampede of illegal immigrants across the channel. And neither the Tories or Labour will do anything to prevent it.
    2
  11064. Musk is a real inspiration to cantankerous little boys who are quick to quit when the going gets tough: as proven by the way he gave up on a Ph.D. after just two days. Ukraine isn't the first to suffer from his childish mood swings, as Nigel Farage learnt.
    2
  11065. "I believe it's a complete and utter waste of time." And you are absolutely right, but think of the alternative. Can you honestly see this bunch of despotic, self-serving charlatans giving the following broadcast to the nation: "We told you that two jabs would protect you, but actually they are pretty useless against Omicron. Oh, by the way, those with natural immunity probably won't catch it. But actually it doesn't really matter because this variant is EXTREMELY MILD, and once you have (safely) had it you too will have really good natural immunity." Somehow this doesn't sound much like Boris.
    2
  11066. Yes, people have no idea how expensive it is to lay on courses in Soap Opera Studies or Restroom Management.
    2
  11067. While what happened on Capitol Hill was uncalled for, we actually really need something like this in the UK: a latter day Guy Fawkes, who will get a badly needed job done.
    2
  11068. "Evidence based", really? We are nightly shown the numbers in hospital, which are dropping fast. However, this lags behind the hospitalisation RATE, which we are deliberately not shown because it is by far the most important metric, and it is PLUMMETING. This is the evidence, staring our cowardly government in the face! The R number and number of infections NO LONGER MATTER, because with over 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated very few of these infections will now lead to hospitlisations. They will be shrugged off with less ado than a bad cold. It's time to end ALL this dictatorial Chicken Little panic.
    2
  11069. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in regard to "reasonable force" wasn't there a famous judgement given many years ago that said something like "someone being attacked cannot be expected to weigh to a nicety the level of force that they use to defend themselves"? Also reasonable force will depend on the relative size of victim and aggressor. If a 5' woman was defending herself against a 6' 6" man then almost anything could be considered reasonable since she wouldn't stand a chance if he got the upper hand for even a moment.
    2
  11070. And Chicken Joe won't let Ukraine return the favour!
    2
  11071. Let's see: 1. This happened in the last couple of years. 2. This only seems to be occurring in the most developed countries. Can anyone think of anything that could only have been done, or was only available in the most developed countries in the last few years? But don't hold your breath waiting for mainstream media, including YouTube, to report on this or speculate on the cause. If these clots are common in living bodies then we can definitely expect a rise in strokes, heart attacks, and many other diseases associated with blocked blood vessels.
    2
  11072. We can have complete trust in them to rape and murder young women, who should be able to walk our streets safely. And we can then trust them to wrongfully arrest women who hold a peaceful lawful vigil for their victims.
    2
  11073. Careful, folks. When governments want to deflect attention from other embarrassing matters a tried and tested method is to have a war.
    2
  11074. Another successful vaccination. Or, of course, there's a good chance of a false positive test.
    2
  11075. Cameron has now shown himself to be a Hamas sympathiser!
    2
  11076. During the gold rush days San Francisco experienced a very bad crime epidemic. It was brought to an abrupt end by taking out the worst criminals and publicly hanging them. There's a very famous picture of this "neck tie party". I'm willing to bet that if we publicly shot those who committed stabbings and shootings, and televised it, then we would see an equally miraculous reduction in their occurrence.
    2
  11077. I hear yellow stars are back in fashion.
    2
  11078. I'll be voting Conservative, but for only one reason. In Enfield our Labour council WILL (no ifs, no buts, no maybes) rape our Green Belt if reelected. A couple of generations have enjoyed Sundays spent in the greenery and garden centres around Crews Hill. This will all be destroyed very soon if Labour gets back in. And they are also targeting other green and pleasant areas in Enfield.
    2
  11079. Let me tell where, in many instances there ARE a lot of workers. Sitting at home because they are older, experienced and hence more expensive, so employers don't want to hire them. I'm a typical example. I now privately tutor A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics. I know all of my subjects inside out and can cover, on sight, almost anything a student needs to ask me about. There is a chronic shortage of teachers in all these subjects. However, a school would have to pay me top of the main scale, and management would find I laughed in their face at attempts to bully me, so the kids go without good teachers. There are many teachers like me, and the same is happening in many other industries.
    2
  11080. This is a step back into the Middle Ages. All religious books are works of pure fantasy. I'd sooner ban the burning of good calculus and physics textbooks.
    2
  11081. Yes, in true Poo Tin form it is blackmail, and it's important never to give into such blackmail, as it then puts you in an untenable position. Zelensky has absolutely no choice other than to attack any weapon emplacements at Zaporizhzhia. If there is an accident as a result of this then the blame lies wholly with the Russians for using it as a base to launch attacks from. If we ever give into any blackmail by Poo Tin then lots more, and far worse, will definitely follow.
    2
  11082. Those of us who love freedom look forward to seeing Russia expelled from Crimea, and Putin's bridge properly destroyed for good. With Russia now weakened, it would also be a good time for Georgia to take back the 20% of its land that Putin stole.
    2
  11083. He's improved his reputation in my eyes.
    2
  11084. An entertaining little diatribe Alex. How long did it take you get it off pat? I do have to agree with you though. Most degrees today are Noddy degrees, though that's probably very insulting to Noddy. Even the decent ones have been seriously dumbed down, with lots of airy fairy stuff for those who can't hack the real meat of their subject. But even in my day, 40 years ago, and at a highly prestigious university, you could often spot the students doing crap degrees. They usually had every afternoon free, to spend in the bar, while we were in the chemistry and physics labs.
    2
  11085. Restrictions should have been lifted a very long time ago. In fact, they should never have been imposed in the first place.
    2
  11086. William Hague is yet another politician who isn't particularly bright. Why on earth would China want to stop what's going on in Ukraine? Emperor Xi has his eyes on Taiwan, and other areas, so removing the distraction of Ukraine is not at all in his interest. And let's be very clear. Russia and China are most definitely not friends. They are more like rival drug gangs who have called a very temporary truce so that they can fight the police who are breathing down their necks. A Russia seriously weakened by the war in Ukraine is something that China regards as very favourable!
    2
  11087. We had totally unnecessary lockdowns for a virus that only ever posed a threat to about 0.3% of the population. Sarah would still be alive if we hadn't had them. And they have killed a great many people in other ways.
    2
  11088. If you really believe that 11,000 Russian troops have been killed then you are extremely gullible!
    2
  11089. YouTube also do their best to silence the majority, by removing and hiding comments that express views held by most of us.
    2
  11090. This should serve as a warning to us all about what can happen when people are unwilling to defend their freedoms. Just two years ago Australia was one of the freest countries in the world. Now it has become a despotic Nazi state, with Gestapo pig police that Hitler would be very proud of. These pigs patrol the streets harassing innocent hard working Aussies, and shooting rubber bullets and tears gas into crowds of defenseless peaceful demonstrators.
    2
  11091. Yes, "dispensable" is the key word. Psychopath Putin doesn't value ANY human life, be it Ukrainian or Russian. Add to this the fact that most of these "troops" are scum of the earth from Russia's prisons and Putin has nothing to lose by sending them to the meat grinder. If they succeed in over-running Ukrainian positions he will be happy, but equally if he kills off most of Russia's worst criminals that will also be a plus for him.
    2
  11092. Because of the risks of copycat attacks and destabilisation there is one thing we can be absolutely certain of. If there was foul play on the part of Iranian dissidents then Iran's despots will do everything in their power to cover this up.
    2
  11093. More hilarious Russian entertainment. Propeller driven planes are slower than fighter jets, and can easily be shot down.
    2
  11094. Just like Hamas, Hezbollah will continue to indiscriminately murder innocent women and children until it is totally eradicated.
    2
  11095. What an intensely stupid thing to do. Germany is in the middle of an energy crisis and yet it is shutting down an incredibly reliable source of energy that doesn't generate any greenhouse gases. Not only this, but the main expense of nuclear reactors is their construction. Once up and running they are a cheap energy source. It's like a patient who has lost a lot of blood refusing the safe blood transfusion that he needs to save his life.
    2
  11096. The reason Novak isn't getting much support is that most of his fellow tennis players have been complete schmucks, and Novak's stance has highlighted this. These are all relatively young and very healthy people. They are at far greater risk of dying in an airplane crash than of dying from covid-19. Yet for the dubious convenience of not being hassled they prostituted their bodies to a poorly tested vaccine that they definitely didn't need.
    2
  11097. Given how these soaring energy prices will really hurt pensioners, who need to keep warm, MPs should (for once) do the decent thing and force the rich boys in Downing Street to honour the "triple lock". When one considers that someone, really struggling, on minimum wage earns 2.5 times the state pension that 8% that the government wants to steal from old people doesn't sound so generous.
    2
  11098. While I'm a fan of GBNews, resorting to a dumb-ass gutter snipe like Mullins doesn't strengthen any argument. Many remember the intense stupidity he displayed during the PANICdemic.
    2
  11099. Quite a few countries have very good special forces. So why, when intelligence indicates that a psychopath is on the rise to power, are they never taken out early on? As the old saying goes: "a stitch in time saves nine". There are quite a few rabid leaders who should never have been allowed to reach the position they are now in!
    2
  11100. What else can we do? That's very simple. Stop being cowardly, selfish snowflakes. These kids, and almost all who teach them, are more likely to be struck by lightening than die from Omicron. Simply remove ALL the covid-19 crap from schools. No masks or testing for kids, and the teachers have to go in and teach unless they have stopped breathing. Sadly, despite numerous reports to the contrary, there are millions of quivering cowards out there telling themselves that children are really resilient and that no harm has been done to them. The same kind of denial as Germans displayed in the 1930s and 1940s.
    2
  11101. This is far more likely down to lazy malingerers using long covid as an excuse not to work.
    2
  11102. And Putin belongs in an asylum for the criminally insane.
    2
  11103. Of one thing I am in no doubt. The BBC sold No.10's line on Covid-19 in a manner that would have made Josef Goebbels very proud. They said exactly what the government wanted them to say, and vigorously suppressed news on anti-lockdown demonstrations and natural immunity.
    2
  11104. I've just made a similar comment, but YouTube will probably remove or hide it.
    2
  11105. If the Tories continue to support this liar and cheat, who is totally without honour, then it's going to cost the Conservative party incredibly dearly. They need to replace him ASAP, and it needs to be with someone who hasn't dirtied his bib. Someone like Desmond Swayne, but DEFINITELY NOT anyone in the cabinet.
    2
  11106. After what Putin did to the Syrian people, HTS will lose all credibility if they do any sort of deal with him.
    2
  11107. I'm 63, and as I have very likely had and recovered (without it being any big deal) from covid-19 I decided not to have a vaccine I don't need.
    2
  11108. That's it screw the poor. Why not throw in a potato famine too.
    2
  11109. These migrants haven't beamed down from the starship Enterprise. There is absolutely no question that they have come from France and so they should be taken back there regardless of what Herr Macron says. If he doesn't like it he can also send them back to the country they entered France from. This is why the UK government IS responsible. If it sent them back then they wouldn't keep coming!
    2
  11110. If Putin thinks he has already been getting a spanking, he hasn't seen anything yet. With better weapons now reaching Ukraine he is going to be seeing a lot more of his gear go up in smoke, and be burying a lot more of his Orcs: or leaving them to rot on the battlefield. If the Russian people have any sense then the only thing that's going to be wiped off the map is Putin and his so-called "strong men".
    2
  11111. So true. Total lack of self control when faced with a plate of cream cakes, and a mortal fear of walking or cycling anywhere.
    2
  11112. I've actually just had the nasty cold that's going round, and I'd much rather have had Omicron.
    2
  11113. I will be reflecting on all those people who have lost their jobs and businesses. I will be reflecting on all those young people who have had their education buggered to hell, and their mental health destroyed. But what I find saddest is that it didn't have to go down like this. If the idiots and cowards in Downing Street had followed the very wise advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, and just isolated the most vulnerable, then things would now be very different. There would have been less deaths, and we would probably now be enjoying herd immunity. People would still have their jobs, businesses, and mental health. There needs to be an inquisition into why the advice in the GBD wasn't considered, with penalties commensurate to the needless damage Downing Street has inflicted on the British people.
    2
  11114. YouTube supprime les commentaires en anglais disant qu'elle mérite ce qui lui arrive si elle est coupable.
    2
  11115. I wonder if Putin gives awards to his fanboys like YOU.
    2
  11116. Why do BOTH the Republican and Democrat parties not listen to what MOST Americans have been saying for some time now? The don't want either Trump or Biden as their next president. Finding another candidate could be a massive vote winner.
    2
  11117. "I knew that I couldn't keep her" WRONG! If the rabbit wants to leave then let it go, but if it wants to stay with you letting it do so means that it will live several times as long as it would in the wild.
    2
  11118. Putin is a deranged psychopath, so expecting him to change is like walking into an insane asylum and expecting to see normal behaviour.
    2
  11119. Used car and double glazing salesmen look like paragons of virtue compared to the majority of MPs.
    2
  11120. YouTube removing all comments that give examples of this!
    2
  11121.  @zakjuly6721  That's why I specifically said German kids.
    2
  11122. Lasers heat up. How long between shots?
    2
  11123. Sadly we are now a country where most people don't want to get their hands dirty, or work up a sweat. The other side of the A10 from where I live in Enfield there used to be so many factories that made things. Every single one has now gone, and the same has happened in so many other areas too.
    2
  11124.  @suewood8538  Sadly, that sounds spot on.
    2
  11125. You would have thought that by now Russians would understand that Putin doesn't values their lives any more than those of Ukrainians.
    2
  11126. The sad truth is that, in a striking parallel to Nazi Germany, this war will only end when Putin is "removed" from power. Hopefully this will be before Moscow is reduced to the ruin that Berlin became under Hitler.
    2
  11127. But we are dealing with a deranged psychopath who murders women and children to feel better when he is defeated on the battlefield.
    2
  11128. It's bad enough that our young girls aren't safe in the streets, but now they aren't even safe in their own homes!
    2
  11129. Just staying didn't work too well for the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, where they lost only a small fraction of the troops they have already lost in Ukraine. So this doesn't seem like much of a strategy. Also, ordering your generals to dilute their forces by defending a really long line, and then changing those orders to mount an all out attack seems to indicate an increasingly desperate Putin who really doesn't know what to do.
    2
  11130. If it's 10% then we can be absolutely certain that it's NOT due to covid-19, which poses negligible risk to more than 99% of people.
    2
  11131. What the Chicken Taco vows and what he does are often very different. Believe it when you see it. I'm betting he will just set Putin yet another deadline - of a month perhaps.
    2
  11132. No doubt kids and hospital patients will have their vegan meals served to them by trannies dressed up as Frank-N-Furter.
    2
  11133. It's a bit like watching lemmings throwing themselves over a cliff.
    2
  11134. ​ @douglastaggart9360  Learn from history! Take a look at what happened when Chamberlain appeased Hitler in 1938. Surely no one is stupid enough to think that Putin is any different.
    2
  11135. The Belarus army is what's keeping its fat dictator in power. He can't afford to send them off to fight elsewhere.
    2
  11136. LMAO. Are we now going to see lots of care workers reinstated, and the government paying them for lost earnings?
    2
  11137. Putin's FSB goons will soon be knocking on the doors of many in Rostov: perhaps giving them free base jumping lessons from their windows.
    2
  11138. Well said it's like having to choose between the torturer who is going to pop your joints on the rack, and another one who us going to stick a red hot poker up your butt.
    2
  11139.  @Nick7901962  The frightened troll emerges again. People can easily check, to see that you are lying. The first Omicron case was identified about a month ago, and so the variant has been around even longer.
    2
  11140. ​ @jackhadroom4540  I'm all for encouraging people to use the private sector, and have done so myself. Though it wouldn't help retired people like me, giving tax relief on private medical insurance and treatment costs might well improve things a lot. However, neither Labour nor the Tories will do this.
    2
  11141. ​ @jackhadroom4540  Well, I followed the lockdown regulations as little as I possibly could, and I didn't clap.
    2
  11142. I'm very proud to say I never once clapped for the NHS or for captain Tom. It's not about having distain for either. It's about being resolute in not doing anything to support government propaganda. First and foremost this is what all the clapping was really about, and I'm amazed that most people are too stupid to realise this.
    2
  11143. With all those excess deaths (around 5% to 10%) in the most developed countries, a year after Covid has to a very large degree abated, what on earth do most people think they are due to? The trouble is that most people really don't want to hear that they were suckered into having a vax that they didn't need, and giving it to their children, who needed it even less. As Mark Twain said, it's much easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled.
    2
  11144. This is like watching the cockroaches dive for cover when someone switches on the light in a dirty kitchen.
    2
  11145. I have just posted a similar comment. When I used to drive, seeing the havoc caused by closing off motorway lanes days before necessary used to really enrage me.

  11146. All the stupid frightened people should search out Dr. Keith Moran's video on covid-19 versus influenza. Here's a summary. Taking the entire population, of all ages and states of health, the IFR for influenza is about 0.1%, and that for for covid-19 is about 0.3%. Am I the only one who thinks that totally fucking up the economy, people's jobs, education, and futures for something that is only 3 times as bad is totally unacceptable? However if we look at age then if you are under 70 you are more at risk from influenza than covid-19, and as age goes down the greater risk from influenza shoots up rapidly. COVID-19 IS NO BIG DEAL! Old people die, and we can't sacrifice everyone else to give them a few more months life, of often very dubious quality. Packed out hospitals need to be managed by a triage system whereby many of these people are allowed to die peacefully in hospices.
    2
  11147. And the moral of this video. You can't have meaningful conversations with a monkey: not even if you teach him to talk, and dress him in a shirt and tie.
    2
  11148. We didn't have this when I was growing up, because we punished criminals properly, rather than sending them on anger management courses! This could be quickly ended if there was a genuine will to do so by government, police, and the courts. We just seen how quickly things can move when the government itself feels threatened.
    2
  11149. As in the US, it should be legal to shoot an intruder in ones house, or use any other means of defence against them!
    2
  11150. And you know how many of those 2000 cases will die? A handful at most. Take a good look at the number of daily deaths in New South Wales. Are a couple of deaths a day really enough to justify screwing up everyone's life?
    2
  11151. Yep. The Americans have a really good saying: "don't get mad, get even".
    2
  11152. Let's be honest. There is absolutely no way that the well over 2 million people, who are being given benefits, are unable to work. Probably more than 50% of them are playing the mental health card. There are massive savings to be made by withholding payments from fraudsters who can most certainly work. Why should very hard-pressed, hardworking people have to support LAZY PARASITES?
    2
  11153. Lockdown AT ALL didn't make a blind bit of difference! Several recent, reputable studies have concluded that lockdowns were completely ineffective. What they were very effective at was sending 10s of 1000s of businesses to the wall and buggering the education and mental health of so many young people to hell. The worst part is that the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned against them, but were DELIBERATELY ignored.
    2
  11154. This is reminiscent of Hitler extolling the SS soldiers who ran his death camps.
    2
  11155. With your typical UK school leaver much more interested in taking Noddy degrees like media studies, where are the people to do this going to come from? Start funding tuition fees and giving grants ONLY for those who get a 2nd or above in Science and technology degrees and just maybe this might happen.
    2
  11156. The far bigger problem is there is no honest decent party to replace them. We need the decent, honest politicians, from all parties, to form a viable alternative to what we are now offered. But I fear that there are nowhere near enough politicians like that to form such a party.
    2
  11157. Again, this is a case of our governments making a laughing stock of Britain. A lot of that funding goes to countries where their own governments WON'T take responsibility for looking after their poorest. By not spending that money at home our governments are doing the same!
    2
  11158. I find woke people deeply offensive!
    2
  11159. Well done Dr. John. I doubt, that out of the 1000s of comments yesterday you read mine suggesting you did a video on this, but it's badly needed. I must say you are far more kind and diplomatic than me towards the "scientists" that are trying, once again to mislead and scare people into believing that there isn't long term immunity. They are an absolute disgrace to genuine professional scientists.
    2
  11160. What Nick Adderley did is deeply shameful and disrespectful. With people like this running police forces is it any wonder that so many don't trust the police?
    2
  11161. Most of us have lost count how often the Russians have threatened to use nukes. Unfortunately for them maintaining nukes is very technical and expensive. The Americans have been doing this, but the Russians haven't. With all the corruption in Russia, even what's been recorded as having been done very likely hasn't. The money will have been embezzled, because when it comes to finding this out being caught will be the least of the perpetrators' worries.
    2
  11162. This is really funny if you think about it: even better than watching Fawlty Towers: "don't mention less than 1% deaths and natural immunity, I did, but I think I got away with it". With not far off 30,000 infections reported daily in the UK, we are more or less getting on with life: and similarly in other countries. Yet, for just a few hundred infections, Australia now looks like it's going through a Nazi occupation, and now for barely a handful of cases the whole of New Zealand has shut down. It really is a black comedy. What makes it funnier is that there's still the belief in zero covid-19 cases. Sorry dudes, and dudettes, but like Arnie covid-19 will always be back. Time to man up, and suck it up!
    2
  11163. When everything is digital it becomes very easy for a government to freeze all your finances, if you do anything to displease it. This doesn't even have to be done overtly. There can suddenly be a "technical problem" that freezes all access to your funds: stopping you travel or even buy food. Also there are still many businesses, like window cleaners and ice cream vans, where paying by cash is the only sensible form of payment.
    2
  11164. Would that be the psychopathic mutants like Putin?🤣🤣🤣
    2
  11165. Maybe they and their kids were threatened, rather than paying them.
    2
  11166. Sounds like embezzlement to me.
    2
  11167. Instead of throwing our money away on overseas aid, why wasn't some of it used to build and maintain some really strong military bases on the Falklands?
    2
  11168. Let's hope that Trump delivers as quickly on this as he has on some of his other promises.
    2
  11169. I see that the Putin fan boys really don't like this post.
    2
  11170. Waste of time voting as the results have already been decided: 95% turnout, with 99% voting to join Russia.
    2
  11171. The pandemic has certainly shown that the vast majority in this country can't think for themselves. The government tells them that there is no natural immunity, and instead of checking out the research they parrot what they have been told. The government tells them that they can still catch covid-19 after being vaccinated, and once again they swallow every word.
    2
  11172. He can't, but he is really desperate, and so will say anything.
    2
  11173. The deaths and hospitalisations due to covid-19 are now less than one fifth those due to road accidents. There's absolutely no reason to expect this variant will cause more deaths or hospitalisations. Is this what Britain's future looks like, going full on Chicken Little every time some scaredy cat gets frightened over a variant? PATHETIC!
    2
  11174.  @joncurry9829  Evidence?
    2
  11175. Sorry, not frightened. Some backwater hospital in Northumbria filling up isn't any reason to break out the headless chicken outfit.
    2
  11176.  @jerrymillerstein  It would still be negligible even if it were 10 times higher.
    2
  11177. All well and good, but we are now into October, with winter fast approaching. If Ukraine is serious about eradicating the Orcs in its land then it needs to very seriously up its game!
    2
  11178. ​ @Moscow_Will_Burn  I earnestly hope so, because the pause of last years counteroffensive is what gave the Russians the chance to install the vast amount of defenses that have caused Ukraine so much difficulty this year.
    2
  11179. Anti-Semites, who want Hamas and Hezbollah to be given the opportunity to regroup and rearm.
    2
  11180. Of course, if bed-wetting Boris had never introduced any INSANE and UNNECESSARY lockdowns he wouldn't be in this predicament, and would still be PM.
    2
  11181. Exactly! There isn't a single country which by not having lockdowns had a statistically significant higher death rate. Indeed some such countries appear to have had lower death rates. The real experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned against lockdowns right from the very start, but they were ignored.
    2
  11182. Millions of cowardly morons supported the ill wind that was lockdowns and restrictions. Now we are all reaping the whirlwind!
    2
  11183. If only people had had the sense and courage to vote this way during the general election. One wonders what will be left of this country to save after another 4 years of Labour.
    2
  11184. It serves these Oligarchs right. If they had all chipped in to put a big enough bounty on Putin's head there's an excellent chance he would now be dead!
    2
  11185. If you want to do science you work hard at your A-levels, degree, and Ph.D. It's got nothing to do with being white. Currently my best student is black and hoping to study medicine at Oxford. It's his exam results that will decide whether he makes it.
    2
  11186. Is there also a good chance that this spineless excuse for a man might grow a pair? 15 million of the most vulnerable have now had both jabs, and well over twice this number have had at least one. There is now bugger all chance of the UK seeing large numbers of deaths or hospitalisations. It's way past time to end ALL this oppressive snowflake nonsense.
    2
  11187. Every time I say it YouTube removes the comment.
    2
  11188. Call her by her REAL name Marlene Headley. She's no doubt worried that there are people out there who hate race card playing grifters.
    2
  11189. Most people don't like either the Tories or Labour. Unfortunately they are too cowardly to vote for the party they really want. They vote Labour if they hate and fear the Tories more, and vice versa. Then they get upset because nothing ever changes with EITHER of these parties. It's their own stupid fault!
    2
  11190. Rolled on the hairy thighs of Orcs.
    2
  11191. I just noticed your comment after saying exactly the same.
    2
  11192. For some reason YouTube's artificial stupidity algorithms left your comment, but removed far less strongly worded ones like mine. I've resubmitted it in German, as YouTube is too stupid to handle comments inother languages, though often it just hides them.
    2
  11193. One has to question the sanity of anyone who would queue for more than a day to see a box containing the body of someone they have never met.
    2
  11194. Green fields and trees in leaf at the start, but brown fields and leafless trees later on. The Orcs are obviously now getting Tardis's from Gallifrey.
    2
  11195. Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them. People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many!
    2
  11196. Charlie Peters is proof that no intelligence is required to be a writer. Just walk down any high street and you will see plenty of obese kids. No doubt this right Charly tells himself it's "puppy fat" or that they are just "big boned".
    2
  11197. All wars certainly do not end as a result of negotiation. WW II ended because Germany was reduced to rubble and Japan was nuked!
    2
  11198. Believe it or not, it was squeamish middle class parents that championed comprehensive schools, because they couldn't bear the thought of their kids not getting into a grammar school, and having to go to a secondary modern. But as every sensible person knows ones size fits all almost always means one size fits nobody!
    2
  11199. No he wants to look good by getting replacement regular Russian troops, who will then be slaughtered, into Bakhmut.
    2
  11200. This is similar to the population shift in Northern Ireland, which most people are ignorant of. Originally Northern Ireland was the most nationalist of the whole of Ireland, and fought hardest against British occupation. So the British deliberately displaced those people and brought in lots of protestant Scots.
    2
  11201. Putin can have peace tomorrow. All he has to do is remove his Orcs from Ukraine, which includes Crimea.
    2
  11202. Quid pro quo. Excellent move!
    2
  11203. What action might that be? An enquiry that fattens the wallets of some of our lawyers?
    2
  11204. Isn't try to tamper with an election in this manner highly illegal?
    2
  11205. Well he would be ideal for picking up after it.
    2
  11206. When it comes to prosecuting and striking off its own, the Law Society has about as much bite as a castrated poodle that has been heavily sedated.
    2
  11207. If FIFA didn't think that it was reasonable to expect the LGBT brigade, and alcoholics, to control their urges for a few weeks then the World Cup should never have gone to Qatar.
    2
  11208. Right decision. We've pandered far too much to the bed-wetting snowflakes, over a fairly innocuous virus that kills well under 1%, and that most now also have immunity to.
    2
  11209. These young Chechens need to do the same in their homeland, in order to free it from the Russian Federation. There are several regions that have wanted out for a long time. Georgia should also consider taking back the 20% of its country that was stolen by Putin. And the Belarusian people should realise that Putin is no longer strong enough to keep their Fat Dictator in power. There's never been a better time to strike a blow for freedom: ALL TOGETHER. Do this now and the Russian Federation can be forever ended!
    2
  11210. Every book on medical ethics would have told you that, because of the negligible risk to them, young people should never have been vaccinated. And that's even with a vaccine which had undergone many years of trials and use. These young people didn't need to die! What governments have done to them is a heinous crime.
    2
  11211. Call them what they really are: pro-Hamas anti-Semites!
    2
  11212. If all the money that Hezbollah and Hamas have embezzled over the years had been spent helping poor Muslims their lives would have been immeasurably better. But then they wouldn't be supporting these cowardly terrorists.
    2
  11213. I'd like to see this abject coward visit his troops on the front line: all those who are dying in droves for his megalomania.
    2
  11214. When it comes to nuclear power Germany might well have the greatest number of dumb-ass bed-wetters in the world.
    2
  11215. YouTube is hiding or removing most comments like this.
    2
  11216. If memory serves me right decades ago Haringey council sacked someone for using a banana shaped pen.
    2
  11217. What hasn't feed through yet is the effect these insane restrictions have had on millions of young people. The quivering cowards keep telling themselves that they are really resilient and no lasting harm has been done, but this is very far from the truth. These cowardly and unnecessary restrictions have sucked the joy out of many young peoples lives. So many have become completely demotivated about learning. They have become depressed at the carnage visited on their social lives. These aren't just niceties, they are absolutely essential for proper mental development. Then there are those who have had their university hopes destroyed by cancelled exams. But the selfish cowards feel absolutely no shame or remorse for any of this.
    2
  11218. If we didn't let illegals land then the French would have to take them back. If the French let them into France then the French should have to send them back to where they came from or keep them!
    2
  11219. Once again, what's being said sounds EXACTLY the same as what Boris and his cronies said. We've all seen the photo through the window. If you were walking down the street and saw this through a window you would DEFINITELY think PARTY.

  11220. I'm no Starmer fan, but I wouldn't hold it against him for not getting on with what appears to be a very nasty, decrepit looking, Peter Pan.
    2
  11221. If Finland's and Sweden's membership are blocked by Turkey then a great many tourists may also decide "not to bother to come", and tourism is an important park of Turkey's economy. Greece is always an excellent alternative destination!
    2
  11222. The very simple fact is that the ONLY reason this government wants to vaccinate young people is for the sake of those who are very much older. This is EVIL and runs completely counter to medical ethics! Even if vaccination carried absolutely no risk, vaccinating young people could be doing them harm in the long term. Here's why. Without a vaccine most young people will probably contract covid-19 sooner or later. But the vast majority will experience virtually no symptoms or very mild ones, and hardly any will end up hospitalised or dead. However, once they recover they will then have natural immunity. This natural immunity will probably provide far better protection than vaccination, both in terms of longevity and in protection against future variants and similar viruses. Our evil government wants to steal this protection from our young people.
    2
  11223. When I taught A-level, or it's equivalent, myself and most other teacher agreed that 15 in a class was the maximum size before kids' learning was significantly degraded. In many state schools it's getting on for twice that number!
    2
  11224. And in the UK we have kid-glove deradicalisation programs for people like this. That's not what I think of as a government protecting its citizens.
    2
  11225. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news. This means that it will quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.

  11228. After three years of horrific suffering it seems that Ukraine's immense sacrifice might be close to paying off. Then along comes Trump and throws Putin a lifeline. NO!!!
    2
  11229. Most of the disinformation came FROM the government: 1. Lockdowns DIDN'T save lives. The REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, said they wouldn't, but would cause massive harm. Several reputable reports have since concluded that they were totally ineffective. But don't expect the government to come clean on this or to hear it on the BBC. 2. The government also scared people into believing Covid posed a serious threat to them, when the truth is that it posed a negligible risk to at least 95% of the population. 3. Several, not one, large scale, and highly reputable, studies concluded that the masks worn by most people were totally useless. 4. That natural immunity in those who had had Covid was absolutely brilliant, and far better than the vaccines was denied time and time again. Most people should never have been vaccinated with vaccines that underwent such incredibly short phase III trials, and wouldn't have had the jab if they had known the truth. 5. The very real possibility that excess deaths in the past year might actually be due to these vaccines is being vigorously suppressed by both government and their mainstream media stooges. How's that for disinformation!
    2
  11230. No faith should have any status, because they are ALL superstitious nonsense!
    2
  11231. There's a "Lack Of Attention To Crime" all over the country! Most of us would rather see shoplifters locked up than someone who made a heat of the moment tweet!
    2
  11232. ​ @enjoyesk8978  Dude, don't waste your time replying to Putin's trolls. You would get more sense out of a festering turd.
    2
  11233. "How has this taken so long?" This sums it up perfectly.
    2
  11234. But there is no FIGHT, just lots of bleating sheep, and some of the sheep are getting slaughtered.
    2
  11235. Enough of this bloody crap. The reported death toll last night was just 3. Many more people die everyday in road accidents! The only ones now ending up in hospital are those who have refused to take the vaccine or left it late. F**k em! Why should everyone else have to make sacrifices because they willingly made the wrong choice?
    2
  11236. I wish I could place a bet at William Hill on how many MPs will attend this debate, because I'd be betting on only a handful.
    2
  11237. Silly presenter. Doesn't he know that those of certain ethnicities and religious persuasion have a "get out of jail" card.
    2
  11238. Those holding placards saying "I love Hamas" or "I love Hezbollah", both proscribed terrorist organisations, should be fast-tracked into jail. But they don't call Starmer TTK without good reason.
    2
  11239. I'll believe it when it happens. How many have so far been sent to Rwanda? A very round number, I believe.
    2
  11240. If it was in another theatre of war I might have a problem with this. However, we are talking about putting down rabid animals. Would you get upset if someone kept a count and told you how many rabid dogs they had killed: it's no different.
    2
  11241. So let me get this right. I don't have a smart phone or a car. I don't go out for meals, and cook my own from scratch. But I am being forced to subsidize people who have and do all of the above, and probably also splurge on booze and fags, but won't pay their energy bills.
    2
  11242. Guys, it's been well known for ages that Macron wants a United States of Europe, with its own army. And no prizes for guessing who he wants to be president of this.
    2
  11243. What a mentally challenged individual Robb Butler is, as well as being a scaremonger and a liar. The recent large Yale and Stamford study in Bangladesh showed that the cloth masks worn by the vast majority of people are as much use as a condom with the end cut off. As for mandatory vaccines, governments will be happy to see that this fool is ignoring the excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY that so many now have, and the fact that younger people are at negligible risk from covid-19. In fact this goes against his colleagues pleas for making those vaccines, which so many in the European countries ABSOLUTELY DON'T NEED, available to those in poor countries who really do need them.
    2
  11244. More likely one of their own exercises.
    2
  11245. What a pathetic piece of propaganda from Russian MoD Film Studios. Look how spotless the tank and its camouflage is. Isn't it amazing how there's no enemy in sight and they are taking no fire. Of course, this couldn't possibly be a practice area in Russia, could it.
    2
  11246. Sorry, but with the vaccination program working far better than expected, one really has to ask oneself whether Sarah paid for Boris Johnson's cowardice, and stupidity, with her life. If lockdown had been lifted Clapham Common would have been a lot busier, and so she might never have been abducted.
    2
  11247. This is unacceptable scaremongering! Reputable scientists do not indulge in pure speculation like this. They wait until they have at least reasonable evidence to support their statements. Shameful behaviour!
    2
  11248. Pictures now coming out of a Moscow court show exactly how to deal with Islamic extremism.
    2
  11249. In Russia it needs only the very tiniest suspicion for you to be purged. This has always been the Russian way. Better that 99 innocent generals, out of 100, are executed than one mutineer gets away. But, Putin butchering his own generals is good news for Ukraine.
    2
  11250. This is certainly not true, but let's imagine that the human papillomavirus could cure covid-19. It would pass any relatively short clinical trials. But years later many women would develop cervical cancer. Something to ponder over?
    2
  11251. It doesn't matter how good the equipment is if full use isn't made of it! Most of those cluster munitions appear to be just sitting on the shelf, instead of clearing out Orc trenches. And some of those Storm Shadow missiles should have already been used to finish off Putin's beloved Kerch bridge. Electorates in NATO countries are going to get very annoyed at financing weapons if there is a reluctance to fully utilise them!
    2
  11252. If I was that woman's boss I'd have had no hesitation whatsoever in sacking her immediately for what most certainly would count as gross misconduct. I hope she got hit with a hefty legal bill. Well done that judge! Any other judgement would have been writing a snowflakes' and skivers' charter.
    2
  11253. The USA has a tradition of no more than two terms as president to reduce the chance of some power crazed dictator seizing power. Every US president knows that in a few short years he will be striped of the protection his office affords him. I can't help wondering if Hu might have been ejected for opposing Xi's power grab at a third term, and probably a lot longer. Isn't what Xi is doing exactly what Putin did?
    2
  11254. This already fat lawyer wants to get even fatter on the proceeds of handling cases of those who illegally enter the UK.
    2
  11255. Yep, Turkey is well and truly on Putin's side. It's blocking NATO membership for Finland and Sweden, and now it wants to buy Putin time to resupply, reinforce and regroup.
    2
  11256. Anyone who knows how backbiting and corrupt Russian officialdom is will also know that the private instructions will be quite different than those for public transmission. Maybe a few weapons or shells will be delivered, but not enough to make a difference. You could do a Mad Max "two men enter one man leaves" with Shoigu and Prigozhin. Both would dearly love to shove a rusty zombie knife in the other's gut and give it a damn good twist. But I guess this is good for Ukraine.
    2
  11257. I almost always take cash for my services because it really is a lot less hassle.
    2
  11258. Trump abandoned Ukraine from day one of his presidency. All he is doing now is abandoning any pretense of having done so.
    2
  11259. Labour's immigration plan? Simple. Most of the dingy boys would vote for them, so let them all in, and the more the merrier.
    2
  11260. Totally agree, but YouTube is removing and hiding most comments like this.
    2
  11261. Most of us assume that almost anything that comes out of the mouth of Putin, or his supporters, is a lie. Occasions when he inadvertently tells the truth would be far more notable.
    2
  11262. Only the looney left could launch crime probes into children's name calling.
    2
  11263. Doh! And how many years has it taken these Einsteins to realise that this is what should have been done all along? If somebody arrives illegally in a country then you ship them straight back to where they have just come from. This is the most sensible way to deal with the problem. Why should one country foot the bill, to ship them all the way home, because of another country's negligence. If each country does this then these illegals will eventually end up where they started, or much closer to it, and it will be a badly needed incentive for countries to properly police their boarders.
    2
  11264. 70% of French electricity is generated by nuclear power, giving them a carbon free reliable source of energy. We could be in the same situation if we had build nuclear power stations instead of spending the money on hippy projects.
    2
  11265. Putin is getting more and more desperate, and his attempts to frighten NATO and the West more and more pathetic and absurd. There's a big difference between launching such a missile and accurately guiding it to its target.

  11266. Apart from the quivering snowflakes, most people did not obey last year's Christmas lockdown. Even less will obey any new restrictions. Covid-19 is here to stay, and absolutely nothing is going to change this. So it's way past time to man up, and suck it up. The good news is that it kills well under 1%, and those who recover get PROPER natural immunity, that may well last them a lifetime.
    2
  11267. Actually the real reason for most of Putin's purges of the military is to remove those he thinks might want to remove him.
    2
  11268. What's even crazier is Trump imagining that Putin gives a damn what he says or thinks: because no one expects Trump to increase sanctions or give more support to Ukraine.
    2
  11269. Where did Nicola think her mother-in-law got the money for camper van from? Did the ghost of Robert the Bruce lead her to a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
    2
  11270. ONS blunder or deliberate attempt to help the government cover up just how bad things really are?
    2
  11271. An added bonus is that will will frighten off a lot of snowflakes who turn up at A & E when there isn't anything really (physically) wrong with them.
    2
  11272. It will keep getting worse until these pathetic politicians are put up against the wall and shot.
    2
  11273. Exactly! While Starmer will say absolutely anything to get into No.10, he will also refrain from mentioning any policy he thinks will lose him votes: despite having every intention of carrying it out.
    2
  11274. It's really great that he was wounded, and hopefully worse than the untrustworthy Russian reports say. As others have said, it's just sad he wasn't killed. In fact we can be pretty much certain that Russia would not tell us if he were seriously wounded or dead. Actually, if it's really not that bad Russia will be in a massive hurry to put him on parade for all to see.
    2
  11275. Can't the French parliament kick out this truculent child with a vote of no confidence, or is it just too corrupt to do so?
    2
  11276. Maybe the plan is to first get as many Orcs as possible onto Ukraine soil, so that enough of Russia's army can be wiped out and seriously weakened for a very long time. This would also give places like Georgia, which has had 20% of its territory stolen, the chance to strike back.
    2
  11277. "We need a way out" There is an incredibly easy and face-saving way out for Russia. "Remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men", blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine.
    2
  11278. If Boris had had the courage to oppose and block lockdowns, like Sweden, he would have been completely vindicated, and might well still be PM, with a party that stood a reasonable chance of winning the next election. To have lockdowns for a virus with an IFR of 0.3% or less, that overwhelmingly only hurt the very oldest and sickest, most of whom WOULD die soon anyway, was utter insanity.
    2
  11279. Maybe the SNP can promise every Scot a £100,000 camper van if they achieve Scottish independence.
    2
  11280. Looks like just what you get with a bad cold, but don't let that stop the cowards wetting themselves.
    2
  11281. In the UK the government wants people to believe that covid-19 has killed 150,000. Yet a freedom of information request, to the Office for National Statistics, showed that for people with no underlying health issues just 17,500 had died, and almost all were over 65. The TRUTH is that covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE threat to about 99% of people! Medical ethics is very clear that treatments offering no benefit, or very marginal benefit, to the INDIVIDUAL should not be carried out. And this is before even considering that we do not, and cannot, know if these vaccines pose any long term risk.
    2
  11282. For all the slavering Dr. Mengeles out there let's review the uncomfortable facts. 1. With the Astra Zeneca Virus there is a small risk of blood clots. 2. With the Pfizer vaccine there is a risk of heart inflammation. 3. The risk posed by covid-19 to most of those under 40 is negligible. Any ETHICAL medical treatment must offer benefits to the patient (not to somebody else) that significantly outweigh the risks of the treatment. Considering the above points, vaccinating younger people fails spectacularly. But there is one more massive nail to hammer into this coffin. When you contract covid-19 your immune system is exposed to all of the virus's antigens. So, when you recover your immune system will be primed to recognise a lot of them. This means that it will probably recognise variants and similar future viruses. Indeed, studies found that those who had been infected about 20 years earlier by sars-cov-1 displayed (cross) immunity to the current sars-cov-2. In contrast these vaccines only expose the immune system to one antigen. So by preventing younger people from getting a very mild, or even unnoticeable, covid-19 infection one may well be preventing them from developing far better natural immunity, that years later might even save their lives!
    2
  11283. An Irish politician doing what's right? Come on now.
    2
  11284. Of course he would say its complete nonsense. If one had asked Hitler whether he was murdering Jews in death camps he too would have said that it was complete nonsense. Boris is a (sad excuse for a) man whose trademark is lying and reneging on his agreements and promises.
    2
  11285. Whatever Joe Biden's fitness, at least, unlike Australian politicians, he isn't screwing the hell out of his own people by locking them all down because of a handful of covid-19 infections, in a vain attempt to get rid of a virus that is here to stay.
    2
  11286. With a large Labour majority there is no way of removing this party for the next 5 years. If Starmer were replaced his replacement would be a cabinet minister just as bad or possibly worse.
    2
  11287. It's way past time to start shouting out "mask wanker" in the street.
    2
  11288. This proves beyond all reasonable doubt that these people are not under threat at home. If total idiots didn't work for the Home Office they would be allowed on the plane but not allowed back. They would have deported themselves without any cost to the taxpayer.
    2
  11289. He's wishing her name was Stormy.
    2
  11290. Another mobilization should be very entertaining, considering the last one went down like a depleted uranium balloon.
    2
  11291. Does anyone with even a modicum of intelligence trust Rabid Raab, or believe a word he says?
    2
  11292. It's less a matter of Carrie piping done than of Boris stopping being pussy whipped!
    2
  11293. Call for the media to start calling them what they really are: Anti-Semitic Hamas supporters!
    2
  11294. For a few years many of us have been saying that letting Putin have any of Ukraine would give the green light to all other dictators.
    2
  11295. Blaire was a mediocre PM, and is an even more mediocre ex PM.
    2
  11296. Starmer would promise anything to get his foot in No.10.
    2
  11297. Jess Phillips would be screaming for action if the men had been white and the girls hadn't.
    2
  11298. This sounds like giving Hamas, many of whom are hiding in Rafah, a three week ceasefire for absolutely nothing in return, and they will take massive advantage of it. I feel so sorry for the poor brave Israeli soldiers, who will pay a high price for their leaders' stupidity.
    2
  11299. I'm waiting for someone whose CV says something like: "got a degree in Chemistry from Oxford, and worked as a research chemist". And, got more balls than most men.
    2
  11300. After watching this video you'll believe it's possible to teach a monkey to talk.
    2
  11301. It's hard to believe that most people were far too stupid to understand that this is what lockdowns and restrictions would INEVITABLY lead to. All this insane damage over a virus that at most killed between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 300, who were mainly very old and/or very sick. What kind of manic sacrifices the wellbeing of over 99% for less than 1%?
    2
  11302. Chess pieces is a very generous description of what are dangerous rabid animals.
    2
  11303.  @leelee9788  Looney lefties never let the facts get in the way of their diatribe.
    2
  11304. How bad things really are is hidden from most Russians: and indeed from the rest of the world.
    2
  11305. Most people can but not people like Vladolf.
    2
  11306. Isn't it a pity that the ICC doesn't do "wanted dead or alive" bounties.
    2
  11307. Totally predictable. The Taliban put more value on their livestock than they do on girls and women.

  11308. If Sunak wanted to anger and alienate Northern voters then this was an act of pure genius.
    2
  11309.  Ann-Marie Paliukenas  No they can't!
    2
  11310. Kiwis ought to feel deeply ashamed of electing someone as thick as Ardern to be PM. Her degree in Communication Studies tells you all you need to know about how suitability for anything that requires much grey matter.
    2
  11311. What happens in Ukraine is existential to Putin. Anyone who believes he will walk away with less than he started with is even more deluded than he is.
    2
  11312. I imagine that decent thinking Germans felt the same as they watched Hitler's rise to power. And we all know where that led.
    2
  11313. Make no mistake, Russia is hurting badly. If at all possible Ukraine needs to keep the pressure on the Orcs throughout the winter. No winter respite might just be enough to lead to Putin's downfall.
    2
  11314. No, the USA is applying exactly the SAME standards. The people in Ukraine want to be independent of Russia, and similarly the overwhelming majority of people in Taiwan want to be independent of China. China should respect the will of 23 million people, which is a larger population than many other countries.
    2
  11315. If only they could shoot Iran's top 26 Ayatollahs.
    2
  11316. Is that all of Russia or just Putin's incontinent arse?
    2
  11317. Dangerous ground Nigel. The PC brigade will never accept that a lot of mental illness is nothing other than a deep character flaw, that many SHOULD be very ashamed of.
    2
  11318. I think of him as more of a Basil Fawlty. "Don't mention the parties. I did, but I think I got away with it".
    2
  11319. I wonder if most Russian people realise that Putin doesn't care about the lives of his soldiers, or if they have any inkling about just how many have been killed of suffered life-changing injuries?
    2
  11320. Very early on in this pandemic an international group of eminent scientists got together and drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. It recognized that lockdowns were not sustainable and wouldn't work. Instead it advised just isolating the most vulnerable, and letting everyone else get on with their lives. If Downing Street hadn't been too cowardly and stupid to follow this advice then things WOULD be very different now. We would have had less deaths, and now be enjoying herd immunity. Also, most jobs and businesses would still be around, and young people's education and mental health would not have been wrecked. By not following the GBD Downing Street has perpetrated a truly massive and horrendous crime against the British people!
    2
  11321. Sorry to disappoint you Scott Mengele, but as Israel and the UK are now showing, vaccination only seems to lower infection rates for a few months. Or maybe you expect to keep giving people six monthly booster shots, for the rest of their lives. God only knows what this will do to them, but who cares: you certainly don't. Do you have any big boy pants, because it's time to put them on. Look at Sweden, they are doing well without ever having a lockdown. Maybe it's got something to do with this virus killing well under 1% and those who have had it now having excellent NATURAL immunity, that may last a lifetime. Save the vaccinations for those who are genuinely at high risk, and the snowflakes who are frightened of catching covid-19 from their own shadow.
    2
  11322. I don't agree with much this government does, but it definitely shouldn't give away our fish. Come 1st January we should kick every pirate fishing vessel out of British fishing waters. I wouldn't let them catch so much as single sprat!
    2
  11323. Do we really need any further proof that these "pro-Palestinians" are in fact pro-Hamas anti-Semites? This is truly sickening!
    2
  11324. All that explosive and highly toxic rocket fuel nearby. Just one little "accident" and the world could have two less mad dogs.
    2
  11325. Trust and trustworthiness is a general characteristic. These politicians have butt-raped Australian democratic freedoms in the way they are dealing with covid-19. They have used the police force like Gestapo storm troopers to fire teargas and rubber bullets at peaceful defenseless protestors. I wouldn't trust them to change a toilet roll.
    2
  11326. Exactly!
    2
  11327. Yep it's Friday, which is blame the West for everything day. If it rains too much or there's a forest fire Moscow will blame the US and the UK.
    2
  11328. Does the UK really want to be in a pact with today's Australia: it's a very different country from what it was just two years ago. Have a look at what's going on in Melbourne, which the BBC won't tell you about. Australia is now a despotic Nazi state, with a police force behaving like Gestapo pigs that Hitler would be very proud to call his own. Peaceful protestors are being pepper sprayed and shot at with teargas and rubber bullets. Do we really want to be allies with countries like this?
    2
  11329. Spot on! I just mad a similar comment.
    2
  11330. It takes a LOT MORE than the Right-Wing to make TTK the most unpopular PM ever.
    2
  11331. If Boris had had the courage to ignore what Margaret Thatcher would have called his wets he would be a hero PM enjoying a third term. Covid lockdowns were totally ineffective and extremely damaging, and most people didn't need the rushed through (and not properly tested) "vaccines" that billions were wasted on.
    2
  11332. Australians, like the Brits, need to understand that the government is there to do the will of the people, not just bring in any laws they damn well like. People can either roll over like bleating frightened sheep, or fight back to stop these scumbag politicians stealing their liberty and freedom. Both here, and in the UK, I would really like to see a few of these despots cornered in a dark alley, and have the living crap kicked out of them.
    2
  11333. How does that old saying go? "You take the devil's coin, you dance to his tune!"
    2
  11334.  LoYaL 1872  Yes, this kind of thing is quite common. I myself had a director of studies who hated me because I refused to give students higher grades than they merited.
    2
  11335. Maybe they could appeal to Hamas to stop hiding behind civilians.
    2
  11336. Seeing Boris and Trudeau together frightens me. The first is a pathological liar who absolutely cannot be trusted, and the second is a tyrant, willing to freeze the bank accounts, and take away the pets, of those who don't agree with him. Covid never scared me in the least, but the prospect of men like these starting WW III definitely does! Remember, as with covid, it's your average Joe that will pay the price, not them.
    2
  11337. When I lived in Berlin one of the things I noticed was that it was mainly that old fat ugly people that got their kit off. Imagine walking along with a beautiful river on one side and nice woods on the other, and then having the view ruined by some fat wrinkly blob.
    2
  11338. Might be terrorists? It's a DEAD CERTAINTY that if we take people from Gaza that a substantial percentage WILL be terrorists!
    2
  11339. Several reports claim that for every dead Ukrainian hero 7 filthy Orcs have been eradicated.
    2
  11340. Making kids wear masks is child abuse! A serious study in Denmark was unable to come up with evidence showing masks work. If you don't like children being able to act naturally and show their faces then get the f**k out of schools.
    2
  11341. This woman was a fully paid up Nazi, so she got what she richly deserved. Now her even more evil father can experience the kind of pain so many Ukrainian families are feeling. I hope this is the first of a great many more such attacks in Moscow.
    2
  11342. It's the ones coming out of the Chinese labs you that you have to worry about!
    2
  11343.  @torquilgordon8945  You have to fight back when the other side isn't peaceful!
    2
  11344.  @alssla3581  Laser pointers in the eye also make it very hard for the Gestapo to do anything.
    2
  11345. No chance of an open discussion because the government would get crucified. Their pathological lying about natural immunity would first come to light. Once people discovered how good and long lasting this is they would then start questioning why we had these insanely damaging lockdowns, instead of following the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was given to Downing Street many months earlier. Are we also going to discuss how getting covid-19 is no big deal for over 99% of people. And then, with the above two paragraphs in mind, we would have to discuss how unnecessary and unethical it was to vaccinate most of the population, with poorly tested vaccines. And of course we mustn't mention all those happy Swedes, whose government got it right, and who have no regrets. Doing so would really upset Downing Street and its quivering snowflake supporters.
    2
  11346. Maybe it was the Vodka swigging and humming Wagner that gave them away.
    2
  11347. In the City dealers wouldn't tolerate such meltdowns, because literally every second a system is down they are hemorrhaging money. That's why they only employ the best. I was paid very handsomely for my services as a freelancer in the City, putting me in the top 1% of earners. But you know what? Employing people like me actually saved heaps of money. My best memory was when the Stock Exchange moved to using X25. My company used me to design and make the changes, others were foolish enough to use the software house that had written the system, and employed cheap people. On the day of the switch to X25 our system performed flawlessly. The systems altered by the software house crashed spectacularly!
    2
  11348. The “single most important” issue facing Australia is putting an end to the despotic Nazi government, and their Gestapo police, that have butt-raped Australian freedom and democracy for the past 18 months.
    2
  11349. Zelensky WAS going to be a member of NATO until Trump came along and "renegotiated" the deal!
    2
  11350. Does anyone seriously believe that over 2 million people can't work: especially the ones playing the mental health card? If the government were less willing to hand out our hard earned taxes to them then most would experience a very quick and miraculous recovery!
    2
  11351. Au contraire! People are very stupid. Those voting either Tory or Labour in the last election proved this beyond reasonable doubt.
    2
  11352. If this isn't begging Israel to destroy Iran's military capability then I don't know what is.
    2
  11353. "Protecting public health" If Novak recently had covid-19 then his antibodies are sky high and he is probably one of the safest bets. It's difficult to know who is more stupid, the vindictive Australia government for coming out with such complete nonsense, or any Australians who believe such utter bilge. Novak has been subjected the equivalent of a medieval witch hunt, and deserves the support of his fellow contestants. Any tennis player with a shred of integrity should withdraw from the Australian Open.
    2
  11354. It wouldn't surprise me to find that that elderly Austrian is Hitler's long lost son.
    2
  11355. Here are the changes needed: 1. Kick all the bed blockers out of hospital, if they don't need that hospital bed they shouldn't have it. 2. Stop forcing GPs to waste a large percentage of their time on nut jobs. It might also encourage more doctors to consider becoming a GP. 3. Don't squander NHS resources on alcoholics and drug fiends: they brought it on themselves. The NHS wasted resources drying out my brother. Within weeks of being sent home he was back on the bottle, and dead a few months later.
    2
  11356. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland support the Protocol, and while some businesses have lost out at least as many have benefited. This bill is purely for the benefit of a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who have a burning hatred of Catholics and the Irish Republic. That most MPs voted for it just goes to show how totally corrupt our House of Parliament is.
    2
  11357. The trouble is that council tax payers are ultimately paying that fine. It should be personally paid by the people imposing the ban.
    2
  11358. I'll never understand this adoration. From what I've heard many of those who had to deal with Diana on a daily basis weren't son enamored with her.
    2
  11359. Of course it was preventable, because we should never have had lockdowns. The REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned right from the start that they wouldn't work, but would cause immense damage. But these people were ignored in favour of a bunch of ignorant charlatans. And you know what? Several subsequent reputable studies have concluded that the insanely damaging lockdowns were completely ineffective!
    2
  11360. This just shows what an incompetent and unprofessional bunch the Lancashire police are. The focus of search teams would have been different, and more effective, if they had been given this information.
    2
  11361. Of course this in fighting is happening, and it always will. Most politicians are completely self-serving. They are only too keen to trample over each other as they try to climb the greasy pole, and they have absolutely no sense of commitment or duty to those who elected them. Just look at who are lined up behind Boris, waiting to stab him in the back and take his place: Gove, Williamson, Hancock, to name but a few. It beggars belief that people actually vote for creatures like this!
    2
  11362. Lawyers who knowingly aid in the submission of false asylum claims are committing a CRIMINAL OFFENCE and should be sent to JAIL!
    2
  11363. How many years has the "war on drugs" been going on? It's definitely over half a century, and yet drug use is more prevalent than ever. In my book this clearly indicates what a massive failure it's been. All it achieves is massively increasing the market price for drugs, and profits for gangs. If drugs weren't illegal their price would plummet. Would it then even be worthwhile for farmers to grow opium or coca? Would it then even be worthwhile for most gangs to run their operations? Am I the only one asking these questions?
    2
  11364. The great thing about masks these days is you can now easily spot the bed-wetting nut jobs. Wearing a mask now is like wearing a tee shirt that says "I'm a complete and utter wanker".
    2
  11365. With Labour's majority there is bugger all anyone can do about Labour's first budget or any of their subsequent ones!
    2
  11366. ALL religion is superstitious nonsense. Thankfully, although people still trot along to church to put a little theatre into their weddings and funerals, most don't believe any of the nonsense that goes with it. In reality Britain is now a secular country, as it should be. Religion has no place in an educated and rational society.
    2
  11367. The probability of three leaks simultaneously happening by chance is vanishingly small, so it almost certainly was sabotage. Who did it is a much harder question to answer. The suggestion that Russia itself did it seems highly implausible as they simply have to lie about having technical problems, and certainly don't care that others know they are lying.
    2
  11368. If you have kids that you love and care about do not vaccinate them. The virus poses a negligible risk to most kids. They will shrug it off more easily than a bad cold, and then have excellent natural immunity. Large highly reputable studies in Israel and Cleveland indicate that natural immunity is better than that conferred by vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. These vaccines are spanking new, so it really is impossible to know that they wont' have any UNFOESEEN adverse effects in the future.
    2
  11369. It may be desperate for Putin, but it needn't be desperate for Russia if the people have the sense to "remove" him and his so-called "strong men". Perhaps Georgians will be inspired by this to take back the 20% of their country that Putin stole from them. There's never been a better time to make the move.
    2
  11370. Such a panic over what South African doctors have characterised as EXTREMELY MILD. I think what governments are really terrified of is that this variant could quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. Their lies about natural immunity would be laid bare for all to see, and people would lose their fear of this virus. That's what's really frightening governments.
    2
  11371. Does anyone really care about the rantings of an institute set up by a second rate lawyer, and third rate prime minister, who is now a has been?
    2
  11372. I wonder what would have happened to that conference if the UK really did have all those far-right fanatics that TTK would have us believe there are?
    2
  11373. What a pathetic and cowardly bunch so many teachers are. Even before the vaccine roll out most were at a really tiny risk from covid-19, and now it's much smaller. What kind of despicable people ruin little children's Christmas?
    2
  11374. There's an old saying: if it ain't broke don't fix it. There may be aspects of the curriculum that, for the sake of kids' education, do need changing, BUT that would probably going in the opposite direction to what Labour wants. I suspects that one reason Labour hate private schools is that they have far less control over them.
    2
  11375. One of my 16 year old students, with no previous medical history for herself or her family. collapsed last week. I'm wondering if this could be down to the vaccine. Of course it will never be chalked up as such, and God only knows how many others this might be happening to!
    2
  11376. Which is why Ukraine is now suffering so badly.
    2
  11377. People are still paying the price for Kier Starmer and Labour supporting the government's insane and unnecessary lockdowns and Covid-19 restrictions. For a virus that was almost exclusively a risk to the very old and/or very sick, with an IFR of just 0.3%, what was done was completely crazy, and did incredible damage to our economy and health service. This could never have happened without the staunch and unflinching support of Labour.
    2
  11378. The complainant should be charged with wasting police time. But I get the feeling that the police are very much on his/her side. I'm betting that a lot of police would dearly love to enforce Sharia Law in this country.
    2
  11379. There are probably thousands, maybe tens of thousands, that have been poisoned by Putin, but had their death or illness recorded as due to something else. I'm reminded of "Game of Thrones", where it's remarked that poisoning is the choice of cowards and eunuchs.
    2
  11380. Yes. The Ukrainians need the means to clear the Nazi war criminals out of the South East. Also, if possible, giving them the means to sink the Russian ships would really help.
    2
  11381. The criteria is very simple. Every few weeks all the countries names go into a bag. Then one minster wears a red fool's cap, another a orange one, and a third a green one. Then they take turns pulling countries out of the bag.
    2
  11382. As someone who teaches let me tell everyone the TRUTH about online learning. It really, really sucks! On several occasions I have been asked to do it, but I have always refused and told people that they should have an in person teacher. With an M.Sc. in computer science and 20 years software development behind me, including web development, I'm certainly well positioned to steal people's money from them by offering online teaching, BUT I'M HONEST. Sorry but, despite being close to 63, I still say we need to get off students' backs and stop stealing their lives from them. The covid risk to students is laughably small, so I want them to have the same opportunities that I had at their age: nice packed lecture halls, full-on lab sessions, a frenetic freshers' week, lots of societies to join, and busy student bars to unwind in. I'm sick of cowardly, incredibly selfish, old bastards denying young people the same things that they enjoyed. I'd rather see a few old people who have had their lives die, then ruin the lives of millions of young people. Whenever there's a crisis, or a war, it always seems to be the young that bear the brunt of it. It's now time, and only fair, that those who have enjoyed a good long life made the sacrifice instead. Rant over.

    2
  11386. That's a few less pigs that will be bombing civilian targets.
    2
  11387. These woke students just show how far the bar has been lowered for entrance to what is meant to be one of the world's most esteemed universities.
    2
  11388. Two little boys will be playing with each others' little toy about now.
    2
  11389. Labour need not win at all unless people are stupid and cowardly. Reform UK is now neck and neck with the Tories and set to overtake them. So the way to not hand Starmer the keys to No.10 is to vote Reform UK. If people don't do this then they really will have gotten the government they deserve. If you can't stand Reform UK then vote LibDem, because it's now a Tory vote that's a wasted vote.
    2
  11390. I hope there were a few Orcs roasting in it.
    2
  11391. Yep, the Tory rats have started to abandon HMS Boris.
    2
  11392. It's way past time that Iran had all its nuclear facilities taken out with bunker busting bombs.
    2
  11393. Meanwhile TTK wants to give billions of pounds to Mauritius. And this is to be followed by giving vastly more in "slavery reparations". And let's not forget the hundreds of millions given to India each year, even though it can well afford to look after its own poor, but just does care about them.
    2
  11394. If intelligence agencies strongly suspect this then they should be working all out to liquidate the psychopaths that they consider likely to resort to such measures!
    2
  11395.  @madelinemardigan3386  You are so right, and this is why France is so happy to let them land.
    2
  11396. Pro-Hamas demonstrators can fly the Hamas flag, and sing "from the river to the sea", and the Met Police do nothing!
    2
  11397. Funny how, despite the cost-of-living crisis I still see the coffee shops and fast food joints in Enfield heaving. I also see the really bad "school run" traffic jams because parents spend lots of money chauffeuring their kids instead of letting them walk, cycle or take public transport. AND I bet most of these kids have a smart phone.
    2
  11398. Nice to see the Hindustan Times working hard to earn bananas from its master Putin. Don't forget to be respectful and call him Massa.
    2
  11399. Yes, police spraying tear gas and pepper spray at people is indeed very ugly. Australia now has a despotic Nazi government, supported by police who are Gestapo pigs that Hitler would be really proud of. People are fighting for their basic human rights, their jobs, and their livelihoods.
    2
  11400. ’No other country has something like this, the nearest to it is in Korea’ That sums it up nicely. This is precisely why the government wants vaccine passports, and wants to tie them into this app! If you are still stupid enough to have this app then do yourself a massive favour and delete it now!
    2
  11401. Most on this march probably have a foreign nationality, or are entitled to it, and should immediately be deported.
    2
  11402. Shapps is a complete idiot. Does he not realise that it was virtually complete autonomy in Gaza that allowed Hamas to embed itself so thoroughly and launch the 7th Oct attack? An independent Palestine state would be like Gaza on steroids!
    2
  11403. The funny thing is that if Boris Johnson had "let the bodies pile high in the street" there would probably now be little or no strain on the NHS. And never mind the hospitals, is everyone happy with all these doctors who now don't want to see the patients they are paid to see?
    2
  11404. That's what the Downing Street Despots are most afraid of!
    2
  11405. At 66 I can cast my mind back 40 to 50 years ago. Then it was fashionable for poor little rich kids to try and justify their empty existence by hating Israel and supporting the PLO. It seems that little has changed except the names of the terrorist groups.
    2
  11406. This crisis had its genesis in the totally unnecessary, and extremely damaging, covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. A great many Tory backbenchers realised how insane these were and steadfastly opposed them. But thanks, entirely, to Starmer's and Labour's unstinting support of No.10 these measures got through. Therefore this is EQUALLY a Labour crisis!
    2
  11407. Come on folks, place your bets on how long it takes Putin to blame these attacks by Russians on Uncle Sam and the UK.
    2
  11408. Firstly, most of those unvaccinated doctors and nurses now have natural immunity, which has unequivocally been shown to be vastly better than vaccination. Studies also show that there is NO BENEFIT in vaccinating such people. Secondly, if about 10% of our doctors and nurses are sacked then LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. The government will have murdered them!
    2
  11409. While I might enjoy the occasional glass of wine or beer, I can certainly live without it. So I've no sympathy for anyone pathetic enough to buy dodgy stuff.
    2
  11410. The biggest anomaly is Dipstick Drakeford, a person who seems to be able to walk and talk although he doesn't have a brain.
    2
  11411. If this were being properly dealt with we wouldn't be reading about it. MI5 or MI6 would have sent in operatives to liquidate ALL the gang members. Now we will just see lots of lawyers stuffing their wallets, and a new network will very quickly replace this one.
    2
  11412. I'm much more concerned about how YouTube, owned by Google, is still pulling out all the stops to support governments' handling of the panicdemic, and to cover up any suggestion that mRNA vaccines aren't as safe as people were told they were.
    2
  11413. A few days ago 5 million deaths, over the last 19 months has been reported. That's just 0.07% of the world's population. The annual population growth is over 1%. So the population is growing more than 10 times as fast. Nothing to fear but fear itself!
    2
  11414. We don't murder women for not covering their hair in Western countries!
    2
  11415. When Putin proposes a ceasefire there are two things that you can be 100% certain of: 1. It has nothing to do with being humanitarian. 2. It has nothing to do with wanting peace.
    2
  11416. Maybe it's part of a rule to prevent wasting Parliament's time by stating the obvious. After all, all of us who are not mentally feeble know beyond any doubt that Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat who reneges on this promises and doesn't keep agreements: even legally binding ones.
    2
  11417. Miliband is determined to go down in history, even if he has to take the country down to achieve this.
    2
  11418. So, even someone with a mental age of 10 realises that Starmer is no good for this country.
    2
  11419. That's a few thousand earthworms de-Nazified.
    2
  11420. This senator needs to think of Adolf Hitler, because Putin is just as bad and mad. Putin is a deranged psychopath with absolutely no regard for human life, be it Ukrainian or Russian. There is NOTHING he won't do as long as his generals let him get away with it. Sitting down with Putin would be as much use as Chamberlain sitting down in Munich with Hitler. The ONLY way this can be ended is by Putin being "removed" from power!
    2
  11421. It has always been thus in the UK. If you do a job that truly benefits society then you are exploited mercilessly and without conscience. On the other hand, if you are a City banker, or a scumbag lawyer, growing fat on the pain and misery of others, then you are handsomely rewarded.
    2
  11422. Well, he's too bloody thick to solve the quadratic sine equations on the board!
    2
  11423. The fact of life is that both Conservatives and Labour are chasing after the ethnic vote, and are frightened they will lose it if they clamp down on the dingy boys.
    2
  11424. For someone with ambition, who is prepared to take a risk, "removing" Putin could be their meteoric rise to power.
    2
  11425. We ARE NOT facing an emergency! The Omicron variant is EXTREMELY MILD. In the entire world not a single death or hospitalisation can be reliably linked to it. Are people really going to allow their Christmas to be buggered up, again, for something that doesn't even give a bad cold a decent run for its money? The ONLY thing this fast spreading variant is likely to do is SAFELY spread NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bring this pandemic to an end. This is what Downing Street and SAGE are so terrified of, because then they have some very uncomfortable questions to answer. We need "catch Omicron" parties, not restrictions.
    2
  11426. That 90 minute Trump/Putin phone call: Trump: Vlad, buddy, you know I'd really like those rare earth minerals in Ukraine. Vlad: No problem. Let me have the country and you can have all you want. Trump: Done. Now, how are we going to divvy up Greenland between us?
    2
  11427. I'd like to see young people have the same chance as I did to own their own property. So I'd dearly love to see property prices drop by at least 30%.
    2
  11428. If this is true then it really does represent the pinnacle of incompetence! There's been over a year to source this from elsewhere. As other posters have pointed out Australia, a firm and dependable ally, could EASILY supply what's needed.
    2
  11429. With Starmer wholeheartedly supporting Downing Street's despotism, over the last 18 months, he's lost the trust of those who might otherwise have seen Labour as an alternative to the Tories. We really do need honest MPs from both parties to come together and form a new one. The only trouble is there aren't enough of them. If Diogenes came back from the dead he would need to carry an extra bright candle around the Houses of Parliament.
    2
  11430. John, what many of us really do worry about is not the current risk but the fact that we cannot be certain that there won't be any very nasty UNFORESEEN long term effects. These vaccines have only been around for about a year, whereas almost all vaccines normally undergoes at least 4 years of SAFETY trials. This is particularly pertinent in regard to mRNA vaccines, which are spanking new technology. The immune system is immensely complex, and there's a lot we still don't understand about it. On this basis young people and those with natural immunity should definitely not be vaccinated. Any medical ethics class would have given you this same resounding answer just two years ago, but our bent politicians, and those in their pocket have burnt the book on ethics.
    2
  11431.  @evangelpaul1027  Did those who worked for him in those companies bounce back?
    2
  11432. I'd sooner see the ultra woke BBC, who pushed the government's Covid propaganda, shut down!
    2
  11433. But the Russian MoD videos are just so funny, for their ineptness and transparent lies. And then there is the Herr Flick lookalike who fronts so many of them. Did anyone see the one where shells are being fired from a wood in winter, and land in a field in summer? In years to come they will be entertainment classics.
    2
  11434. Not only does Russia not recognise the ICC, it also doesn't recognise the Geneva convention. However, Putin is welcome to visit a country that does recognise the ICC. As for toilet paper, considering the amount incontinent Putin gets through I would have thought he had a very high appreciation of it.
    2
  11435. Everyone in the group, who encouraged this airman to commit treason should also be charged with the crime, and spend quality time in a private cell with Bubba.
    2
  11436.  @martinbaldwin1906  As long as they can close down Russian supply lines and keep their own open.
    2
  11437.  @monsantoforever599  Perhaps because I'm not stupid and gullible enough to believe in the 150,000 deaths.
    2
  11438. Avec une facture de chauffage aussi élevée, Rachel Reeves doit vraiment avoir froid. Peut-être devrait-elle aussi avoir droit à une garde-robe gratuite.
    2
  11439. Or maybe some distraught parents will go straight for Johnson's or Hancock's jugulars.
    2
  11440. We have the same "coincidence" in the UK. There are lots of highly qualified doctors who aren't too worried. However who do we see at the Downing Street press conferences, witless Whitty, a man so downbeat and depressing that he would make a funeral look like an ecstasy fueled rave. As a result of listening to these "end of the world is nigh" doom-mongers we have seen the education and mental health of our young people buggered to hell.
    2
  11441.  @run2cat4run  If a little bit of socialism is what we need to save this country then so be it!
    2
  11442. From now on the only greeting allowed between those at Bristol Uni will be "Allahu akbar".
    2
  11443. Not will, IS paying: and very heavily. By far the most damaging bit of wokery is the acceptance that 9.4 million (25% of working age) are unfit to work. Even 5% would be highly suspect. We are looking at tens of billions of pound in fraudulent benefit claims!
    2
  11444. I used to report spam like this, but YouTube makes no effort to remove such posters, which it could very easily do. However, it's very quick to remove many sensible posts.
    2
  11445. Ukraine could have really done with these Patriot missiles MONTHS ago!
    2
  11446. The trouble is that, because of political correctness, even if it were the case this information would be very vigorously suppressed.
    2
  11447. Putin was convinced he could take Ukraine in a few days. So much for it having no future.
    2
  11448. Putin rent boys routinely post nonsense.
    2
  11449. Same old Labour, always keen to level DOWN. If state schools were made good enough then far fewer would send their kids to private schools. This isn't speculation. You see it in other countries with good state schools.
    2
  11450. Entitled to a damn good kicking.
    2
  11451. Maybe Russia isn't losing, but it isn't winning either, and is paying a very high price. It's lost well over half a million soldiers to death or injury, billions of pounds worth of equipment, and its economy is also suffering significantly. As long as the West keeps supporting Ukraine then sooner or later Russia will no longer be able to sustain its aggression.
    2
  11452. This is exactly what Hitler did with his blitz on London, hoping it would break Britain's spirit. It didn't work then, and it won't work in Ukraine now.
    2
  11453. However, Putin knows that if he loses in Ukraine he will also lose power, wand maybe also his life. So he will continue the war no matter the cost to Russia, if he is allowed to.
    2
  11454. Unfortunately he knows that Scumbag Starmer is the only alternative that most of the sheep will consider.
    2
  11455. And none of the bent lawyers encouraging them to lie have been sent to jail.
    2
  11456. The DEMOCRATIC system in this country gives a party FOUR years. Why should we expect Starmer to be handed the keys to No.10 after just two? I may not like Sunak, but at least I've got the sense to realise how vastly worse Starmer would be!
    2
  11457. Ma réponse en anglais a été instantanément supprimée par YouTube. Elle disait : Il y a eu plusieurs occasions manquées de faire exploser Poutine du ciel lors de ses voyages à l'étranger.
    2
  11458. Who is making sure that Erdogan doesn't fiddle the counting?
    2
  11459. This makes blowing up the Russian oil and gas pipelines, that bring in most of Putin's money, a really good strategy. It's next to impossible to defend these pipelines along their entire length, and a good breach anywhere (or better still several) will be very effective.
    2
  11460. What a namby pamby nation we have become. 50 years ago little kids were (rightly) taught the chant: "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me".
    2
  11461.  @manaza7699  Hence the need for lots of private nighttime "visits".
    2
  11462.  @jeckjeck3119  That's what many of us expect.
    2
  11463. Most employers get suspicious about gaps. In fact schools get paranoid that you might have done time for kiddy fiddling.
    2
  11464. I'm expecting India to crash, just like the Russians.
    2
  11465. Nigel, it's far worse than this. What most of these not so smart people don't realise is that with a smart meter energy companies can cut your gas or electricity supply remotely, any time they want. This is why I too throw all the letters in the bin.
    2
  11466. ​ @kirstymiller9332  Actually, I lived in New Zealand for around 6 years and have New Zealand citizenship. I also remember a previous occasion on which corrupt and self-serving Winston Peters defied the will of most Kiwis and helped the wrong person into power, in exchange for a cushy ministerial role that he didn't merit.
    2
  11467. Their other hands are doing a cross hand bougie.
    2
  11468. ​ @peterlamb7326  You really are an uneducated moron, but I'm going to try and help you by giving 3 good medical reasons not to get vaccinated: 1. If you are under about 60 then this virus poses a very small threat to you. 2. If you have had covid-19 then you have excellent, long lasting natural immunity. 3. These vaccines have not undergone the usual minimum 4 years safety trials. We simply do not, and cannot, know if they are safe in the longer term.
    2
  11469. I voted remain, but can we please stop perpetuating the myth that Brexit is to blame for our economic woes. By far the major cause was the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. Sars-cov-2 only ever posed a threat to well under 1% of the population, and most of those who died were very old and/or very sick, would have probably die soon anyway, and often DID NOT really die from Covid. If we had followed Sweden's sterling example we would now be laughing along with the Swedes, instead of being laughed at.
    2
  11470. This is about as dumb-ass as it gets. With energy problems due to dependence on Russian gas these morons should have been reopening previously decommissioned nuclear power stations. In a country not subject to earthquakes or tsunamis nuclear power is incredibly safe, reliable, and produces no greenhouse gasses.
    2
  11471. It's not just arrest he fears. There are millions who would dearly love the opportunity to put a bullet in him. It might have been difficult while he was in Iran, but in Turkey or South Africa it would probably be a lot easier.
    2
  11472. When one sees roads still jam packed with people who don't need to drive, coffee shops, fast food joints, and pubs still all doing a roaring trade, then one really has to ask if things are that bad.
    2
  11473. Oven ready Orcs. Finger lickin good.
    2
  11474. Better have a cheese and wine working meeting, with the wife included, to decide how to proceed. And let's call a spade a spade. Not "health lobby", "cowards' lobby".
    2
  11475. Actually I'm fairly certain that GB News has shadow banned all the posts I start. Unfortunately, for them, and other channels, they don't seem to be able to automate removing replies like this one.
    2
  11476. YouTube deleted my similar comment in English. I think the reposted French one is hidden.
    2
  11477. I hope her scum-bag lawyers aren't receiving our hard earned taxes to fight for her.
    2
  11478. There's no serious risk. People have been brainwashed into being frightened of their own shadows.
    2
  11479. A 4 star hotel! FFS, most Brits can't afford to stay in 4 star hotels. Do we need much more evidence of how badly the government has lost the plot in dealing with these dinghy boys?
    2
  11480. Just said something similar.
    2
  11481. We needed lots more nuclear power yesterday. Any new stations need to be built really quickly, in around 5 years, not 20. And there needs to be zero tolerance to any delaying legal challenges.
    2
  11482. I think many people, for political gain, are deliberately ignoring they key point that Farage has made: that Putin was given a reason he could sell to the Russian people. He also admits that Putin might well have done what he did anyway. Also, as every thinking person knows, the Daily Mail could never be accused of impartiality.
    2
  11483. Just imagine how much could be done for British people, with all that money.
    2
  11484. There is absolutely no difference between saying something about Harry Potter or Luke Skywalker, and saying something about Jesus or Mohamed. Wizards, Jedi Knights, men rising from the dead, or dudes riding horses to heaven are all total fantasy. However, people wanting certain fantasies protected by law are free to go live in countries that haven't left the dark ages: they even still have medieval punishments too.
    2
  11485. I do sometimes think of taking a cruise, but after what P&O have done I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. I'd be worried both about safety and the standard of customer service.
    2
  11486.  @Mister_Holdsworth  Hancock and Gove ARE evil!
    2
  11487.  @longlivetheboleyn1917  I left out a an awful lot, but I think I named two of the most evil.
    2
  11488. Only a complete imbecile believes in something for which there is absolutely no proof. Blasphemy is no different from cursing Harry Potter or the Tooth Fairy.
    2
  11489.  @paulsamson6039  That's what I've been doing since I returned to the UK about 10 years ago. I privately tutor A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics: and I'm damn good at all of them. It's great for me and the kids lucky enough to be taught by me, but so many more would benefit immensely if I were in a classroom.
    2
  11490. That's the spirit. As long as the sheep keep coming forward keep sticking it in them. The bookies need to start taking bets on how many jabs each sheep will have had by this time next year. Hey, it could even be a talking point at some of the mask w@nker parties. You know, something like: MW1: I've now had four jabs. MW2: Well, I've had six, and I'm going to have my seventh tomorrow.
    2
  11491. Scumbag Starmer a liar? Tell us something we don't know.
    2
  11492. All psychopathic Putin is doing is increasing the resolve of Ukrainians to fight.
    2
  11493. Standing right next to Putin. If Dvornikov cared about Russia, or the Russian people, he would have used the opportunity to kill this mad dog on the spot: with his bare hands if necessary.
    2
  11494. What Macron did, forcing through pension reforms without a vote, because he knew he would lose it, was the act of a dictator. He deserves to be brought down for this!
    2
  11495. I hate religions and cultures that regard women as inferior to men and force them to wear oppressive clothing. Does that make me a far-right racist?
    2
  11496. Use those bloody expensive long range missiles QUICKLY, to take out the infrastructure in Russia that is supporting their invasion. It would suck massively if any of them were destroyed on the ground. What about doing the job probably on the Kerch bridge? That would seriously make Putin cry.
    2
  11497. Trump should start prosecuting those who deliberately hid the truth about how good natural immunity after infection was: that would include YouTube.
    2
  11498. Makes you wonder just how thick and stupid you have to be to fight and die for Putin.
    2
  11499. Right at the very start the REAL experts warned governments that lockdowns would not work, but would only cause an insane amount of damage. They advised just isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. This IGNORED advice was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, for all to see. The FACTS that covid-19 poses NEGLIGIBLE risk to over 99% of the population, and that those who have had it end up with ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT natural immunity, shows that this advice was SPOT ON!
    2
  11500. Ah, but that hard earned taxpayer money goes to the very worthy cause of stuffing the wallets of lawyers.
    2
  11501.  @klevoolka  I'm not making any suggestion about what should be done or what's right or wrong, merely musing on how one group of powerful people might be feeling. It seems that you and others are reading a lot more into my post.
    2
  11502. The MAIN reason Jordan and Egypt oppose Trump's plan for Gaza is that they are terrified of ending up with THOUSANDS of terrorists in their country. Allowing this very biased judge's decision to stand poses a massive threat to the security of this country.
    2
  11503. Yes, arresting someone for holding a placard saying "I love Hamas" or "I love Hezbollah" would be discriminatory. It would be discriminating against evil.
    2
  11504. Sadly Sauron still lives.
    2
  11505. Before people in the UK start running round screaming "we're all going to die" they need to understand that the vaccine used in Chile is nowhere near as effective as the ones we use in the UK. Don't let bent politicians in Downing Street use this as an excuse to maintain dictatorial power.
    2
  11506. Could it possibly be that this wasn't an accident? Of course, the despots would be desperate to cover up such a fact, for fear of what it might inspire.
    2
  11507. The government WANTS to perpetuate a state of fear. Frightened people are much more obedient, and willing to give up their freedom and liberty. This reminds me of how the church used to frighten ignorant peasants with tales of witches. Only the church could protect them, and those who spoke out against the church became guests of the inquisition, who soon persuaded them to confess their pact with the devil. The only devils we have are those in Downing Street!
    2
  11508. Humza being useless would be bad enough, but he is in fact dangerous! Why on earth did Scots elect an Islamist Hamas lover?
    2
  11509. If Crimea had been defended in the first place then this war wouldn't now be happening. We are looking at that stitch in time saving nine on an epic scale.
    2
  11510. I'm sure all the OAPs, who rich boy Sunak CHEATED out of their "triple lock" pension rise, would rush to vote for him. They will now receive a rise well below inflation. Even if he hadn't STOLEN what they were entitled to the majority of OAPs would have really struggled.
    2
  11511. If memory serves me right Belgorod, at the top of the map is an important Russian supply line. I'm sure I don't need to tell the Ukrainian military that shelling the hell out of it, now that it's in range, might be a really good idea. It also seems to me that with northern supply lines seriously compromised, taking out the Kerch Bridge, if at all possible, would be a really smart move.
    2
  11512. You mean what sort of government. That would be the idiots with PPE and humanities degrees that most people seem only too keen to elect. You only need your fingers to count the number of MPs with science, technology or maths degrees!
    2
  11513. Nicely done, and hopefully the first of many more!
    2
  11514. In that case Ukraine would do well to inflict the maximum possible damage with the ATACMs that it still has, BEFORE Trump becomes president.
    2
  11515. One of the things I find really sick is that when the likes of the BBC are filming in schools they deliberately show the kids' legs instead of their upper halves and faces. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit (lot) pervy?
    2
  11516. So true. But the Shah made a bigger mistake in not having Ayatollah Khomeini taken out when he was living in Paris.
    2
  11517. Did it never occur to these useless, biased police that pro-Hamas marches (let's call them what they really are) are provocative. This is why very few now trust the police: especially the Met!
    2
  11518. Is it any wonder that schools struggle to get even half decent STEM teachers, who can earn more for a much easier time in private industry? As well as the UK I've taught in New Zealand, Germany and Italy, and never encountered such utter nonsense, and would never have gone along with it.
    2
  11519. There are many homeless people sleeping on our streets through no fault of their own: an argument with a parent, or losing a job. They would think that they had died and gone to heaven if they were given free accommodation like this. But instead it is being given to ILLEGAL migrants who have absolutely no business being in this country.
    2
  11520. Let's be clear what these two former policemen did was vile and disgusting, and they deserve to be punished. However, jail is not appropriate. Jail should always be a very last resort used only to protect society or where another punishment cannot be imposed. Taking away someone's liberty is truly barbaric, as are the conditions in many prisons. How many people truly deserve to be treated in this way?
    2
  11521. If Boris, unlike Margaret Thatcher, hadn't given into his wets and resisted having lockdowns he would now be a hero PM and the Tories would be on their way to a substantial victory. He even had REAL experts, such as Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, who would have very strongly supported such a wise decision.

  11524. So, no Dr. Mengeles in Florida. Only the vilest, child abusing, low-life would give a poorly tested vaccine to a child, for a virus that poses a negligible threat to kids.

  11529. Until the license is abolished, and the BBC has to compete independently, like every other channel, most of us will continue to believe that it is nothing more than a mouthpiece for its paymasters in Downing Street. During this pandemic it has certainly proved this with its vigorous censorship on anything that might make the government uncomfortable, and its highly selective interviews that were designed to give a false impression of strong support of government policies.
    2
  11530. So let me get this right. We are supposed to go all Chicken Little over a variant that South African doctors, to quote, characterise as EXTREMELY MILD. Here's a better idea. We just let this extremely mild (I call it the Fluffy Kitten) variant SAFELY give millions of people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. Something this Fawlty Towers style government hasn't been able to do.

  11531. Far better to execute Kim and his equally mad sister. I'm sure there are some nice Italian families out there who would do the job at a very reasonable price.

  11532. When are woke idiots going to finally understand that certain groups of people do not belong in civilized countries, and can never be "integrated"?
    2
  11533. So let me get this right. Illegal migrants are pouring into this country and being kept toasty warm, and well fed, in 4 star hotels, while pensioners, who worked hard for this country all their life, will be allowed to starve and freeze.

  11534. The entire UN is no longer fit for purpose, and I hope Trump defunds it: along with the WHO.

    2
  11536. Perhaps if there weren't so many do-gooders patrolling the Channel to pick these ILLEGALS up, bring them to England, and then feed and accommodate them better than our own homeless, then far fewer would risk the crossing. Of course, taking them back to France, where they set off from would also help massively.

  11539. The sad thing is that Britain would be so much better if all those idiots who voted Conservative or Labour had voted Reform UK. You only needed minimal intelligence to understand that both Starmer and Sunak would be a complete disaster.

  11540. Unless, like Putin, we want to send people to the meat grinder, conscripts would definitely need AT LEAST a year of training, a lot of which would have to be devoted to building up their fitness, which in generation Z is absolutely appalling. So conscription needs to be done sooner, rather than as a last minute knee jerk decision.
    2
  11541. The Ukrainians and Chinese are very welcome, as are most Indians. Those not at all welcome, and who have no place in this country, are the ones who are DETERIMINED not to integrate, and hate and despise British values and customs.

  11542. As far as the UN is concerned, supporting Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens is hate speech!
    2
  11543. People being kept informed about what's going on is also vital for democracy to function. Here are some very recent stories that's been deliberately suppressed: 1. 30,000 Italian businesses defied lockdown. 2. 10,000 Austrians demonstrated in Vienna against lockdown. 3. Thousands of Dutch demonstrated in Amsterdam against lockdown. These are not tiny protests by a few nutters. Slightly different, but frightening, is that the story about the 30 deaths, after vaccination, in Norway has been suppressed. One wonders how many other such deaths have been deliberately not reported.

  11544. ​ @ddhh1270  My humanity is saved for the murdered Ukrainian women and children. If these Orcs hadn't entered a country that just wants to be left in peace then they would still be alive.

  11556. British Public Are Tired Of Seeing: 1. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants wash up on our shores only to be housed in plush hotels that most of us can't afford to stay in. 2. Police and courts turning a blind eye to the horrific abuse of young white girls that was (is still?) perpetrated on an industrial scale. 3. Foreign criminals not be deported. I'm sure others could add more to this list.

Isn't it funny how the same excuse was used to screw up people's Christmas last year? Isn't it even more suspicious that 6 months ago people like me were predicting that governments would pull another variant out of the hat for Christmas.

  11560. What Kamala needs to remember is that the Israelis are just like us. They are civilised, educated, and share our values. Those who want to annihilate them are nothing more than backward savages, who value their sheep and camels more than they value women.
    2
  11561. Think of the worst despots, and what they have done, over the last few millennia. Then you will begin to comprehend what Putin is capable of. We are dealing with a vicious, deranged psychopath, with zero regard for ANY human life, who has to be "removed" from power as much for Russia's sake as anyone else.
    2
  11562. Most of us are sick of seeing our hard earned taxes squandered on the useless, or even dangerous, parasites in the UN and WHO. Both of these organisations urgently need defunding.

    2
  11566. I loath Kier Starmer and many other politicians whom I would like to see flogged through the streets. I'd also have Harry join Megan on her walk of shame. But here's the thing. In a free country one should be free to hate someone and say how much one hates them.
    2
  11567. Take a goodly number of those who have knifed or shot people, put them up against the wall, and shoot them. Do it publicly and televise it. I guarantee you will see an instant reduction in these crimes!
    2
  11568. Let's look at the very unpleasant facts. Despite covid-19 posing a negligible risk to young people, and a miniscule one to most of their teachers, almost all countries were very happy to bugger the hell out of their education and mental health. And this was only to possibly (some research indicates no benefit) minutely reduce the risk to older people. Does any one really believe that these same cowardly selfish older people are going to make any sacrifices when they are not themselves going to have to pay the cost of climate change? Very recent history teaches us that they most certainly won't!
    2
  11569. Bugger that! Do ditch them almost completely except for those admitted to hospital with serious respiratory impairment. It's also way past time we stopped pandering to the quivering snowflakes and ditched all restrictions. The frightened cowards can either man up or crawl under a stone.

  11572. Absolute nonsense, which shows how detached from reality the rich and privileged are. While these totally insane and wrong lockdowns have hardly touched me, at least I realise the truly staggering amount of pain and suffering they have inflicted on millions in this country. And all because we have a coward and imbecile for a prime minister, who refused to follow the brilliant advice in the Great Barrington Declaration. The PM, his brown-nosing cronies, and the well-to-do are in the first class of a luxury liner. Millions of others are in the bilge tank of a leaking tug being pulled a very long way behind so the view doesn't offend the well-heeled.

  11574. We need to IMMEDIATELY give Ukraine the means to take out lots more Russian ships!

  11575. It's like having a bunch of Nero's in Downing Street, but unlike just fiddling while the country burns they are actually setting the fires! This nurse, like so many others, gave so much over the past 18 months. Because of her job she has most likely had covid-19 and now has excellent, long lasting natural immunity. She does not need these poorly tested vaccines. We are already desperately short of doctors and nurses, yet this government is hellbent on sacking some of them. Is this really their idea of looking after the country?
    2
  11576. Just 30 months for pulling out a sick baby's oxygen tubes. What a sick b*****d of a judge! The only people who now have anything to fear from the law in this country are honest decent ones.

  11580. The CEO of the water company responsible should have his head held under the water at these places until he has swallowed a good mouthful!
    2
  11581. People moaning about "when will this stop", and the cost, is PRECISELY what Putin is counting on. He watched the US and Britain pull out of Afghanistan, and thinks that if he holds on long enough we will abandon Ukraine. The difference is that Afghanis were abject cowards who weren't prepared to fight for themselves, so we were right to question whether our soldiers should die for them. In total contrast the Ukrainians are a very courageous people who deserve our unwavering support.
    2
  11582. Isn't one definition of insanity, repeating the same mistake?
    2
  11583. The trouble is that too many seriously mentally challenged people voted to keep FPTP in 2011. All voters are equal, but some voters are more equal than others. And those some are in the minority.
    2
  11584. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. If these bombers had entered British airspace they should definitely have been shot down without any hesitation. Not doing so shows massive weakness, which is the very last thing we need to do with Putin. But then Sunak is a very weak man.
    2
  11585. I'm sure it won't be long before school kids, and others, start calling those who wear masks a "mask wanker". Being somewhat older I'll probably just settle for thinking it, most of the time.

  11588. It's time Georgia did the same as Ukraine and started taking back the 20% of territory Putin stole from them. He currently hasn't got the troops to stop them doing this, and such further humiliation might very well lead to his quick "removal".
    2
  11589. ​ @aleccap5946  I've always said that a condition of being an MP should be that you and your immediate family are not allowed to use private health care or private schools. Do this and we will see both the NHS and state education improve a lot, and very quickly.
    2
  11590. Prof Clancy is absolutely right about the so many problems. In fact reports in 2017 talked about serious nasty problems with mRNA treatments that nobody could see any solution to, and that they were desperately praying for a "Hail Mary" to. BUT, these "vaccines" are making big pharma shed loads of money, and that's all that matters, right?

  11593. Germany has now had over 2 months to get it's mothballed nuclear power stations up and running again. In fact shutting them down in the first place was totally insane!
    2
  11594. Now here's a really good reason why, regardless of what a judge said, I would do as much research as possible if I were on a jury. The defendant or perhaps certain witnesses might have a string of convictions against them. If this is the case then there is EXCELLENT reason to put a lot less weight in the veracity of anything they say. BUT a jury won't be told about these convictions!
    2
  11595. Sorry Dr. John, but the decreasing cases is most likely just a matter of kicking the covid-19 can a little bit further down the street. All that's going to happen is things will LOOK a bit better because we will spread the deaths out a bit more. It's really the difference between eating 7 bars of chocolate on Sunday, or eating 1 each day of the week. You're still pumping the same number of calories into yourself, even though you tell yourself you're being good. And that's why it IS all to do with politics! Less deaths at once, for an innumerate and irrational public, makes the government look better. But the cost to people' jobs, education and futures is horrific, and in the long term it's all for nothing. It worked like a dream initially, with happy clappy Thursday, but even the great unwashed are now beginning to understand this is a cure worse than the disease: or actually not even a cure. Sweden got it right, and is still getting it right. If the Swedes were complaining you can bet your bottom dollar that this would be all over the BBC. Likewise the "Great Barrington Declaration", which got censored for a while, and which the snowflakes did their best to sabotage, tells it as it is.
    2
  11596. Spare a thought for our OAPs, who Sunak has cheated out of their "triple lock". Their pension will now rise by considerably less than inflation. The rise in both food and energy bills is going to crucify many of them.
    2
  11597. Prime Time entertainment. Prigozhin spilling all the beans, and the Wagner Group fighting regular Russian forces. There really never has been a better time for regions that want out of the Russian Federation to make that bid for freedom.
    2
  11598. While I would probably support the death penalty for the most heinous murders, I wouldn't execute someone for necrophilia. Yes, its absolutely disgusting and stomach churning, but I don't think someone should die for this. Until the current case came to light, and caused deep distress, the fact of the matter is no one was actually hurt.

  11599.  duncan smith  You are probably right on that bent Brussels bureaucrats are 10 a penny!

  11600. This is precisely why Putin is having this farce of a referendum, and trying to scare the West and NATO. Was I imagining that he looked really desperate when announcing mobilisation? Lots more Ukrainian victories look likely, BEFORE he can field his cannon fodder. I think he knows his days are now severely numbered.
    2
  11601. Lots of very clever people told everyone what a tiny risk Covid posed to most people, and how excellent natural immunity was in those who had had Covid. But idiots still queued up in their millions, like sheep at an abattoir, to receive a poorly tested vaccine that they didn't need.
    2
  11602. Really proud to be a Pure Blood, and not wear a mask. Don't mess with me or I'll breath on you.

    2
  11604. Only a complete moron, or bold faced liar, would present a cold spell as evidence against global warming. Within an overall trend peaks and troughs are to be expected. But as we all know Australia is one of the big bad countries when it comes to trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Maybe that's why most of us laugh our heads off when we see the droughts, fires and floods Australian has recently experienced. How's that for knocking some climate change evidence into thick and selfish heads?
    2
  11605. Joe, you don't owe that reporter an apology. She was trying, unsuccessfully, to look smart at your expense.
    2
  11606. Do you get professorships out of a lucky dip bag? The right lesson is that all this shit was completely the wrong thing to do! A freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that, far from 150,000, only 17,500 people with no underlying health problems died, and almost all were over 65. The right lesson is to listen to the REAL experts who recommended ONLY isolating the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity emerged.

  11607. As there aren't going to be fireworks in Kyiv just make sure there are plenty of really big ones in Crimea. I understand that Putin's favourite bridge is a great place to stage them.

  11610. Without a change in the the Democrats' leadership, whoever wins the presidency the US and whole world loses. Trump will almost certainly adopt an isolationist policy, maybe even withdrawing from NATO. Biden is definitely a very weak man who may well be suffering from early dementia.

  11611. It's like Hitler's cronies, at Nuremberg, claiming that they didn't agree with what he did.
    2
  11612. BB, is there any requirement that a fence be a certain height? Someone like me would be quite happy to emulate the council who only put up 3ft boundaries of concrete post and wire, which seem to last forever. But there are a lot of people (my mother was one) with privacy fetishes who want at least 6ft of something you can't see through.

  11613. No point preaching good sense to the lunatics.

  11614. If Putin does have Parkinson's, then this makes him a lot more dangerous. He is trying to carve himself a big page in history and has very little to lose personally.

    2
  11619.  @stequality  Sadly it's part of the democratic system that gives a voice to even the most mentally enfeebled. I didn't bother with the rushed through vaccine, masks, or worry about catching covid-19 from my students. By the way, did you know that the mRNA from these vaccines has now been found in breast milk!

This highly reprehensible character makes the dodgiest used car salesman look like Mother Theresa and Mahatma Ghandi rolled into one. No sensible decent person any longer believes a word that he utters.

  11623. Not a good idea. They would be helping the illegals ashore, handing them cups of tea, and giving them vouchers to stay in top-notch hotels.

  11624. We are a secular society. As such no religion should enjoy any protection from mockery. We have had The Life of Brian, and Spitting Image used to have a good go at the Pope. Why should Islam receive special treatment?
    2
  11625. Does anyone give a toss about the millions of really poor OAPs, who Rich Boy Sunak cheated out of their triple lock? They are getting a measly 3.1% rise, which is way below inflation, and smaller than almost everyone else in the country.

    2
  11630. So, let me get two points absolutely clear: 1. Some people have been given similarly long jail sentences simply for heat of the moment tweets that they didn't really mean. 2. Instead of deportation at the end of a jail sentence, which was once standard procedure, and still is in sane countries, violent foreign criminals are being released early onto our streets.
    2
  11631. Thank you Mr. Putin. Without your unstinting aggression and genocide this would not have been possible.
    2
  11632. Says someone who definitely isn't the sharpest pencil in the box.
    2
  11633. Let's put this "1 in 25" enormous lie to bed. The PCR test is incredibly sensitive, and can detect very few viral particles, or even just parts of them. What we are mainly seeing in this 1 in 25 is one of the following two things: 1. A few viral particles have made it into an infected person. But within a day or so their immune system will wipe them out. So they will neither develop the disease or transmit it. 2. A vaccinated person has already successfully neutralised the few viral particles that entered their body, and what is being detected is the debris of the destroyed virus. The IRREFUTABLE PROOF of this is that we are not seeing fully vaccinated people in hospitals. Fully vaccinated people, or those who previously had covid-19, are DEFINITELY NOT contracting covid-19. To say that they are is a massive scaremongering lie.
    2
  11634. I would really like to see the same think done to a Russian dam of similar size.
    2
  11635. This is precisely why now is the time for NATO to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. Letting Putin rebuild his forces would be insanely dangerous for Europe.

    2
  11638. I'm not a great Macron fan, but he is right about this. If we don't pay to stop Russia now then we, or our children, will most assuredly pay a much higher price later!
    2
  11639. For many decades NATO has been a defining force for freedom and security in the world. It makes a lot of sense to try and save it.
    2
  11640. Never mind downhill, Labour are digging a massive hole in which to bury Britain, and I shudder to think what will happen if they are allowed to "serve" the full 5 years.

  11641. Viele von uns haben schon seit langem gesagt, dass Putin im Falle vieler Angriffe auf Moskau schon längst aus dem Amt „entfernt“ wäre.

  11642. So Orcs, don't think you are safe just because you are well inside Russia.
    2
  11643. Someone really, really needs to kick the living sh*t out of this Nazi!
    2
  11644. The defining thing about this measure will be the interminable amount of time taken to implement it. By the time it happens it may well not matter to Ukraine. I'm absolutely convinced that countries like France, and especially Germany, are dragging their heels as much as possible, so as not to seriously upset Psycho Putin. I very much doubt that either of these countries give a damn if Russia overruns the whole of Ukraine. In fact, they will probably breath a massive sigh of relief.

  11645. While it's very hard on these families, if Israel capitulates to Hamas then, in the future, far more families will be in the same situation.

  11646. Two-Tier welfare too. There are so many people working very hard just to maintain a hand to mouth existence. But illegal immigrants who have contributed nothing to this country are each having around £40,000 a year spent on them while being put up in hotels that most of us can only dream of staying in.
    2
  11647. I very much doubt that the hundreds of thousands of really poor OAPs, who Rich Boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock", would say that he got it right. They are now getting pension rises way below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to these OAPs would have struggled desperately to make ends meet.
    2
  11648. Translation - we will force civilians to stay, at gun point, so that they can be our human shield.
    2
  11649. Actually worse than this happened in Germany, in Cologne a few years ago. So-called asylum seekers were molesting young German girls. The government tried to cover it up!
    2
  11650. That's why, if you are smart, you don't ask. You are likely to get a much smaller fine.
    2
  11651. Well a good start would have been to ban the pro-Palestinian marches, like France and Germany did.
    2
  11652. So much for Russia's unstoppable missiles. Putin really is like a little man boasting about how big his cock is.
    2
  11653. The trouble with the punishing is that there is far too little of it. After taking out two orc ships, why did Ukraine stop? After a couple of drone attacks on Moscow, why did Ukraine stop? This is really bad psychology. It gives the enemy the impression that Ukraine just got a few lucky strikes in and that they won't be repeated on a regular basis.
    2
  11654. Next week we won't hear the word sheep in Wales. It's being replaced with whatever is Welsh for girlfriend.
    2
  11655. Yet Ukraine seems to have let up on attacking Moscow, or anywhere else in Russia. This is why there are so many missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, because Russia thinks it can carry them out with impunity.
    2
  11656. I guess it's embarrassing supporting an incontinent loser.
    2
  11657. FFS Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD! So, don't make staff who are feeling no worse than if they had a VERY MILD cold take time off work. It's that bloody simple. It these vaccines and boosters are so bloody good then there's very little risk of these people catching it. The benefit of having our nurses and doctors in hospital FAR OUTWEIGHS and risk!
    2
  11658. Cry me a river, Putin rent boy.
    2
  11659. To name just two in Enfield, the Fallow Buck was pulled down and the Goat was turned into flats. These were both amazing buildings with incredible character, and a genuine loss of heritage. I'm no longer much of a drinker, but I feel sorry for those who have lost wonderful hostelries like these.
    2
  11660. Barclays, like other high street banks, also screws its customers as well as its staff. Got lots of savings, and want a fair return on them? Well dream on if you bank with Barclays. They loudly trumpet the "Blue Rewards" scheme. HOWEVER, no matter how much money you might have in your account you won't be eligible for this scheme unless you deposit each month the kind of money that most can't afford to. Our spineless, useless government promised that the regulatory authority would put an end to this rip off by the end of August, but bugger all has been done!
    2
  11661. How in this day and age can anyone fit to be a police officer be unaware that Hezbollah is a proscribed terrorist organisation?
    2
  11662.  @poke_warrior  Well put.
    2
  11663. EU ammunitions should be being used against Iranian clerics and their Revolutionary Guards!
    2
  11664. If enough Russian supply lines are cut off then winter will do the fighting for Ukraine. A lot of Orcs got badly frostbitten and frozen to death at the start of this infestation. January could be a great month to watch something like Napoleon's retreat in reverse.
    2
  11665. True, but a lot of lawyers are making a bloody fortune out of these illegals, and they are all potential Labour voters.
    2
  11666. There are lots of very good decent Muslims, who respect women, and accept that others don't share their beliefs. These rabid extremists would like nothing more than to create tension between them and the rest of society. This is yet another reason why it's so important to root out Muslim fundamentalists, and give them absolutely no quarter whatsoever. And maybe some of this rooting out needs to be done by good Muslims.
    2
  11667. I'd bet good money that this Gazan man knows people who are in Hamas, supports them, and was on the street celebrating the murder of Israeli women and children.
    2
  11668. Why isn't this totally evil man in jail?
    2
  11669. I doubt Putin wants to risk leaving Prigozhin alive for 30 days.
    2
  11670. Yes isn't it funny how Noddy degrees try to gain legitimacy by highjacking the word science.
    2
  11671. A promise to deport all those who are illegally in the UK now, and of course future illegal migrants, would be a massive vote winner. Also, they should add foreigners who commit crimes. And, except for a few bent lawyers, nobody would care about any objections raised by judges. A massive crackdown on benefit fraud would also be exceedingly popular.
    2
  11672. Germany STILL hasn't delivered the weapons it promised to Ukraine many weeks ago. This is truly shameful. Ukraine needs weapons that have the range and power to take out Russian ships in the Black Sea, and that crucial bridge in the Crimea. Both these targets need urgent obliteration.
    2
  11673. So let me get this right: 1. Over 50% have now had both jabs, which we are told are definitely effective. 2. Most of those infected are young and so the virus poses negligible risk to them. 3. Deaths and hospitalisations show no sign of rising significantly. 4. The very that do end up in hospital are there because THEY CHOSE not to take the vaccine. Sorry, but only a cowardly liar like Hancock could find any reason in this to delay June 21.
    2
  11674. You get lawyers' wallets fattened and the guilty exonerated. After all, that's the whole point of these enquiries.
    2
  11675. BB, before you even got to 4:10 I was thinking about Rowley saying, just the other day that he might be cutting 1000 officers. How did we used to afford to have all those police stations and Bobbies on the beat?
    2
  11676. Did anyone say he needed to grow up and ditch the hat?
    2
  11677. While not all vaccines last a lifetime, one would be very hard pressed to think of any that are less effective than the covid-19 vaccines. And there are no other vaccines that are recommended for people at very low risk from the disease, or who have developed excellent natural immunity to it. If Carter is so fond of accurate statistics then he should wholeheartedly embrace the Cleveland and Israeli studies. These show that natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. AND, that there is "no statistically significant benefit" in vaccinating those with natural immunity. These rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines are definitely not 100% safe. But, even worse, we cannot be certain that they won't have serious long term side effects. One final point. Despite a billion years of evolution, our immune system does not maintain constantly high antibody counts, which is what regular boosters will do. Could this be because, during those billion years this was tried, and the species it was tried in had very bad things happen to them, and went extinct?
    2
  11678. Nothing to do with a "massive diplomatic coup" or support for Russia. Emperor Xi did this for one reason only. If Putin succeeds in wearing down the West, and breaking its determination and unity, then this gives Xi the green light to invade Taiwan. Xi only cares about how useful Putin can be to him. Of course the converse is also true.
    2
  11679. Throughout this pathetic farce I have not lost a second's sleep, carried on as normal, and ignored every rule and recommendation. It goes without saying that I haven't been vaccinated or worn a mask. And you know what, despite living in an area with plenty of infections, and coming into contact with lots of infected people, I have been absolutely fine: even at 64. People in this country should be deeply ashamed for letting the scaremongers turn them into quivering, craven snowflakes.
    2
  11680. Orc hunting!
    2
  11681. Governments are really desperate that people never learn the truth about the risks associated with Covid vaccines, which they assured the sheeple were incredibly safe. Most mainstream media is also just as desperate since they strongly supported governments' narratives and ruthlessly suppressed any contrary views, regardless of the science: and are continuing to do so.
    2
  11682. Muscovites feel more or less insulated from the consequences of Putin's personal war. A devastating attack on Moscow would change this, and probably lead to his removal from power.
    2
  11683. A lot of Ukrainians died this week because Trump shut off their early warning system. As for losing a lot of credibility. Trump has lost so much that he probably doesn't have any left.
    2
  11684. While I and many others won't mourn Liz Truss if she goes, that certainly doesn't mean we want Starmer in her place. He sacrificed the wellbeing of the UK just to see the Tories become unpopular, giving him a crack at No.10. So many Tory backbenchers vehemently opposed lockdowns and restriction, because they knew that they were completely unnecessary, and would cause the kind of economic damage we are now seeing. With such staunch opposition they would not have been possible but for the unstinting support that Starmer and Labour gave Downing Street. Starmer also knew how damaging lockdowns and restrictions would be, but getting into No.10 was more important to him than this country and the people in it!
    2
  11685. Can't wait to see the damage they do, and the number of pigs they slaughter, when they get the new bad-ass weapons.
    2
  11686. In terms of solving global warming this is just a drop in the ocean.
    2
  11687. ​ @iiilllii140  No. I suggest "encouraging" people to abandon private motoring, and rapidly building more nuclear power stations.
    2
  11688.  @bikes02  There's a good reason for this. I often find that the original post I make has been removed, or appears to be shadow-blocked. In fact my original post here has been removed, so I'll have to put it back. However this seems to happen a lot less with posts I make as replies.
    2
  11689. You are so right about the complicity, and YouTube is right up there with the worst of them. Can you see a comment I posted 2 hours ago, suggesting that ONS were ordered to change their reporting? I can still see it, but with no likes it's a near certainty that YouTube has either deleted them or has hidden the post from others.
    2
  11690. In that case those governors might as well vote for the Republicans themselves!
    2
  11691. This is what happens when you have cowards like Hamas that hide in hospitals, schools and mosques, and prevent civilians from leaving the areas that they are operating in.
    2
  11692. So, a tiny glimmer of good news in spite of Reeves.
    2
  11693. No! The concern of people like me is that Sunak is screwing up a service that he himself does not depend on.
    2
  11694. I was thinking minus10.
    2
  11695. That Imam needs a late night "visit" from a few young men who support the democratic values of our country!
    2
  11696. Can't possibly see any naughty kids telling the teacher they are the opposite sex so that they can satisfy their curiosity, or sense of mischief by visiting the other gender's toilets. When I was in primary school, just to cause mayhem, I'd have persuaded all the boys to claim they were girls, for a few days. Of course todays kids are all saints.😊
    2
  11697. The end of those fishing grounds which will be mercilessly over fished!
    2
  11698. Thank God I'm now an old bastard. Before long just asking a girl out is going to be a criminal offence.
    2
  11699. Putin now desperately needs two things. He needs a pause in the fighting, and he needs to show substantial gains for the half a million Russian soldiers killed or maimed. Ukraine and the West would be completely insane to grant him either of these!
    2
  11700. ​ @andyraven  Aha, a Putin fanboy who doesn't like to see his hero humiliated.
    2
  11701. ​@Mark Jones Of course I don't think Putin reads my posts, but others do, and others read theirs. Do you see where I'm going with this? And, by the way, I don't post anonymously.
    2
  11702. Looks like a bunch of far-left thugs to me.
    2
  11703. If Biden doesn't sort this then before too long some of America's militia groups will!
    2
  11704. Well, the talk of one nuke causing a tsunami that would wipe out the UK was utter nonsense. Only the most mentally feeble would believe that any weapon could do that, or does Putin now have a Death Star in orbit.
    2
  11705. What a good idea. Perhaps we should also teach them about sadomasochism and getting a Prince Albert.
    2
  11706. Covid only ever had an IFR of 0.3% at the most, and the groups at risk are well known. So around 95% of the population should never have been vaccinated. And that's even if these "vaccines" had undergone the normal 3 to 4 years phase III safety trials!
    2
  11707. He who pays the piper calls the tune. If you are happy to take your employer's money you do what they pay you to do, where and when they pay you to do it. if you aren't prepared to then find another one that suits you better. The world owes you nothing!
    2
  11708. Small comfort when TTK and Labour have over 4 years left to inflict unimaginable damage on the UK.
    2
  11709.  @bobsocks7575  If you think your kids did anywhere near as well as if the school had stayed open then you are lying to yourself!
    2
  11710. It's GB News that has the problem, with ultra woke YouTube removing comments about what it reports. Comments that GB News would leave there in order to give a BALANCED view of how people REALLY feel.
    2
  11711. The Tories' secret weapon. She scares away a lot of would be Labour voters.
    2
  11712. The internal combustion engines in cars run most efficiently at over double this speed. So these absurd speed limits will actually burn more fossil fuels and INCREASE local air pollution.
    2
  11713. The vaccine mandate has never been about "listening to the science". It's all about a bunch of nasty little boys in Downing Street who are determined to impose their will on others.
    2
  11714. MOST people have been talking about this for ages. It's the bloody governments that have deliberately been ignoring people's concerns and pretending that there is no problem.
    2
  11715. Enough wokism. Call it what it's been called for many decades "Monkey Pox".
    2
  11716. It's amazing that so many people seem unable or unwilling to grasp that Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran are totally dedicated to the annihilation of the state of Israel, and that this goal will never change for them. Around 80 years ago tens of thousands of young men gave their lives so that something like this might never happen again.
    2
  11717. Almost all those dying are UNHEALTHY! Never forget, the USA is the obese capitol of the world. There's a price to be paid for all those cakes, chocolates and crisps, and it isn't just in dollars and cents. Covid-19 has NEVER posed any real risk to healthy people, which a proper and honest analysis of the statistics easily reveals.
    2
  11718. The sad thing is that there are now millions of brain dead people in this country who will be fighting their way to the front of the queue to get this every year, or even every 6 months if they can. But I guess it's brilliant news if you own shares in big pharma.
    2
  11719.  @Xyrom95  So true.
    2
  11720. It's predicted that immigrants are going to flood into this country at a greater rate than Labour has promised to build new housing. And, of course, they won't build anywhere near the number they promise.
    2
  11721. Leap-frog tactics? From where they are now their drones can reach bases and infrastructure further inside Russia. There's also a possibility that some Russian surveillance systems aren't set up to look for such attacks coming from inside Russia.
    2
  11722. Have Hamas got an anthem they can sing?
    2
  11723. During the Chechnya war Putin murdered his own people, in a false flag operation, in order to bolster his support. So it's highly likely that these drones aimed at a posh residential area in Moscow, but with hardly any explosive payload, were the work of Putin's own FSB goons. This is probably a desperate attempt to increase support by frightening Russians.
    2
  11724. Labour have another 4½ years to turn this country into a dirt poor banana republic. Within our democratic institution there is nothing we can do about this!
    2
  11725. The sins of the father shall be visited upon the son. So sayeth the lord Starmer.
    2
  11726. Anyone with even the smallest trace of decency hates hypocrisy. Generally when I hear of lockdown rules being broken I'm cheering the perpetrators on. And the more egregious the breach the louder I'm cheering. However, when it comes to someone breaking the rules that they themselves made then hanging drawing and quartering is too good for them.
    2
  11727. If Suella Braverman genuinely supports Reform UK then she will go over to them NOW in the hope of winning them more votes tomorrow.
    2
  11728. I'd say congratulations, but for the fact that over 99% share your experience.
    2
  11729. And both the UK and the EU would rather let their citizens die, than admit that NATURAL IMMUNITY is brilliantly effective, and that the most vulnerable should be locked down and vaccinated, while NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, with hardly any deaths, rapidly develops among everybody else.
    2
  11730. This is a total LIE that has now been strongly repudiated by all reputable scientists!
    2
  11731. Every time I pass the closed down cinema complex on the corner of Southbury Road and the A10 I think of the madness that was the Covid lockdowns. This was a thriving business that used to show IMAX and 3D films, and was enjoyed by so many in Enfield. But what most people don't realise is that many formerly very sound businesses are still going to the wall because of those insane lockdowns. Maybe next time tyrants try to pull a trick like this people will have the sense and guts to stand up to them.
    2
  11732. ​ @ekajaparidze3315 The OP is a Putin rent boy, who had my comment removed for saying that for most Georgians the undesirable foreign interest is from Russia.
    2
  11733. What has me laughing my socks off at African countries supporting Russia is that Putin and his supporters regard black people with exactly the same distain that Adolf Hitler and his Nazis did.
    2
  11734. Isn't it amazing how so many countries that we once thought of as democratic are now proving to be full-on Nazi dictatorships. Surely a better option would be to deny treatment for covid-19 to those who refuse vaccination. Most would be very happy with this.
    2
  11735. You mean absolute jerk.
    2
  11736. Better to be disgusted at the wanton murder of civilians.
    2
  11737. Of course Andrews wants to keep it going. This power crazed maniac is Victoria's own Putin, supported by a vicious Nazi police force.
    2
  11738. The price does indeed have to be paid. It's time to stop paying benefits to millions of people who are perfectly capable of working but simply don't want to. This would save tens of billions of pounds. Surely nobody is really stupid enough to believe that a quarter of those of working age are too sick to work. Because the 9.4 million of working age not working is 25% of the working age population.
    2
  11739. Having Mullins as a candidate would make me think very hard about voting for Reform UK again. This is a man who proves that you need neither intelligence or integrity to become rich.
    2
  11740. The expression honest politician is an oxymoron. Being a liar and a cheat, who breaks promises, are a major part of the job description. In the UK Boris told us that the "opening up would be irrevocable". Now the lying, cheating, scum in Downing Street have indicated that they are quite willing to bring back lockdowns. When it comes to a politician the only safe bet is that they can't be trusted.
    2
  11741. Not probably, definitely.
    2
  11742. Get with the program, Mr. Hosker. Punjabi and Arabic are now acceptable alternatives in the UK.
    2
  11743.  @James-gf9jl  What you say is no doubt true. It's rather like the old saying: "misery likes company".
    2
  11744. The Bank's biggest mistake was having piddling 0.25% rises instead of 0.5% ones right from the start: people didn't get the message. Raising rates, by a decent amount sends the following clear messages: 1. If you demand high wages then the amount your mortgage goes up by will more than wipe out that rise. 2. If you put up your prices then the cost of your loans will more than wipe out that extra profit. Inflation is a terrible evil, because it crucifies the poorest who can't demand higher wages or put up their prices. And it eats into the savings of those who have been temperate and responsible throughout their life.
    2
  11745. The honest truth is that most people in London do not need to own a car. They would be much better off financially without one, and London would be a much more pleasant place. We have good public transport, which would run even better without all the private cars, which even when they aren't being driven make life hell for our bus drivers who constantly have to weave in and out because of them.
    2
  11746. Is it morally right for others to take away from teachers and nurses the rights they they themselves enjoy? Is it morally right to exploit nurses?
    2
  11747.  @garagenigel  He's just a liar and a troll: probably a little boy who is still at school.
    2
  11748. It's called "care in the community". Instead of locking up the loonies they are free to cause mayhem in the streets.
    2
  11749. You are wrong. While it could be used as a knuckle duster have a good look at the FLAT front. Proper knuckle dusters have curved or bumpy fronts. As anyone with a decent knowledge of physics will tell you this allows vastly more pressure at the point of contact.
    2
  11750.  @DougRutter  I agree. The UK desperately needs a new alternative.
    2
  11751. If Putin wins this he will probably pin medals on Scholz and Erdogan for their loyal and unwavering support of him.
    2
  11752. Personnellement, je préfère la méthode traditionnelle beaucoup plus fiable avec un couteau : retirer le pilier et les deux pierres.
    2
  11753. With the tremendous pressure that the NHS is under, those who become ill through their own gross over indulgence in food, alcohol or drugs, should have lower priority than those who are ill through no fault of their own.
    2
  11754. The best drug for bad behaviour is the cane!
    2
  11755. The world has watched Australia behave like a Nazi dictatorship, and a lot of people really don't want to visit countries like this, or see their children visiting them!
    2
  11756. The world stood united in its sanctions to end apartheid in South Africa. But as they say "no good deed goes unpunished". Just look at the bottom feeders that are now running the country. What kind of low-life supports a war criminal responsible for the deaths of thousands of defenseless women and children?
    2
  11757. It won't be so funny if Labour get in.
    2
  11758. "What's behind UK delays?" That would be the millions of stupid and cowardly Brits who supported covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions for a virus that posed negligible risk to over 99% of us! Look at the Swedes, now laughing their socks off at us. Or at the fact that covid-19 infections are now at their highest ever, but that despite having no restrictions the sky isn't falling down on us.
    2
  11759. Obviously had Putin as a mentor.
    2
  11760. So true. Unfortunately YouTube removes most comments like this. However posting in another language seems to cause YouTube's artificial stupidity bots great difficulty.
    2
  11761. I'm just about to do exactly that.
    2
  11762. That's like asking "did the Pope say mass".
    2
  11763. This is why I'm so incredibly skeptical about claims that the Astra/Zeneca vaccine has very little efficacy against the SA variant. 3 weeks is about as long as most people have had since their first jab, and virtually none have had their second. So there simply has not been time to see if the vaccine gives protection. Sure, one can look at the amino acids in the spike, but we can still only speculate. There is no hard evidence for less protection against any variant.
    2
  11764. The kitchen sink missed the OAPs, who Rich Boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock", by a mile! Those in work will get pay rises in line with inflation. The minimum wage has been similarly raised, but the state pension rise is going to be way below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to so many desperately poor OAPs are going to struggle to make ends meet!
    2
  11765. The times will ultimately be far darker, for the UK and other countries too, if Putin is allowed any sort of victory in Ukraine!
    2
  11766.  Brett Mitchell  Yes, having a B.Sc. in Chemistry and Physics, a M.Sc. in Computer Science, and a PGCE with main subject Mathematics, and secondary subject Physics, makes me stupid.😉
    2
  11767. ​ @inigo4937  The overriding purpose of language is to allow people to communicate with one another. So the less languages there are the better. The languages I mention are particularly invidious, as kids where they are spoken have their time wasted learning a language that very few speak, instead of one that would allow them to communicate with vastly more people. Another language that's a real annoyance is Portuguese. If it wasn't for this wretched tongue then everyone below the USA would be able to understand one another in Spanish.
    2
  11768. A "human rights" lawyer complaining about BENT lawyers, committing CRIMES, being targeted. What a surprise! Perhaps David Haigh is a bit worried about coming under close scrutiny himself.
    2
  11769. Can we please abandon the euphemism of "asylum seeks" and call these people what the vast majority of them really are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
    2
  11770. What a bunch of panicking pansies!
    2
  11771. But, what will be left of this country after another 4 years of TTK and Labour?
    2
  11772. It can't be good that so many kids are being taught by work-shy spineless cowards, who want to shut down schools every time a child sneezes. Schools and universities should have carried on as normal throughout this pathetic fiasco. This country should hang its head in abject shame for the way it has sold our young people down the river!
    2
  11773. But to certain people dragging everyone down into the same gutter is what matters above all else.
    2
  11774. Chaque navire russe quittant la Syrie doit être coulé !
    2
  11775. C'est difficile à croire, mais YouTube a supprimé mon commentaire précédent en anglais. Tout ce qu'il disait, c'est que l'acide sulfurique à 98 % était trop facilement disponible et qu'il devrait y avoir une peine de prison à vie pour de telles attaques.
    2
  11776. What's going on in German schools now is reminiscent of 1930's Hitler Youth recruitment. Children have to stand at the front of the class and state their vaccination status. When a child confirms that they are vaccinated the rest of the class claps.
    2
  11777. Sorry, but Jersey is an island that wants to enjoy UK benefits, support and protection, and whose residents are free to come and live and work in the UK. Yet it won't let others in the UK come and live in Jersey. The same goes for the other channel islands. So the French can hang them out to dry!
    2
  11778. It wouldn't be a surprise. I also would be very surprised if Putin hasn't either offered nuclear weapons to Iran or the help to quickly develop them. If this isn't publicly announced it's almost certainly been done in private.
    2
  11779. I wonder if William Hill is taking bets on how many defections there will be?
    2
  11780. There's a really simple solution that most people in Belarus would bless the UK for. Instead of military engineers send over some special forces to take out Belarus' dictator!
    2
  11781. The Aussi despots must love her, as New Zealand has taken the "laughing stock of the world" prize from Australia.
    2
  11782. Let some of our fighter pilots lose on those Orcs and that will take the pressure off Ukraine. It's completely in accord with international law, and there are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just straining at the leash.
    2
  11783. So honoured to be given the opportunity to die for Putin's megalomaniac ambitions.
    2
  11784. Vaccine hesitancy is not a problem, it's eminently sensible for many people. I've spent an hour each way traipsing into the British Airways vaccination centre in Regent Street to willingly pay for about 20 vaccines. I will happily do the same again. However, as someone who has had covid-19 (no big deal), and now has natural immunity, I would be insane to take a poorly tested vaccine that will do me no good whatsoever. The Israeli and Cleveland studies, and a more recent one by Harvard, demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that natural immunity is vastly superior to vaccination, and unlike vaccination it may well last a lifetime. Also young people are at NEGLIGIBLE risk from covid-19. Medical ethics (which now seems to be a dirty word) is very clear that such people should not be vaccinated: and that's before we even consider rushed through vaccines that have not undergone long term safety testing.
    2
  11785. I suspect that one of the things putting a heavy strain on GPs is the large number of people now wasting their time with claims of mental health problems. Years ago, when most would have been deeply ashamed to play the mental health card, GPs had very few such cases squandering their time.
    2
  11786. Well, being a Putin fanboy, you have certainly never thought.
    2
  11787. If a government deliberately refuses to defend our borders, which is what Labour is doing, then there should be a way to remove it PDQ!
    2
  11788. Il est urgent de rétablir la peine de mort.
    2
  11789. Meanwhile both the Labour and Tory voting idiots are going all out to convince people that if they don't vote for one of these circuses full of evil clowns then the one they hate more will get in.
    2
  11790. Voting Labour instead of Conservative is like opting to have your toenails torn out instead of your fingernails. When are most of the incredibly dumb British electorate going to understand that neither of these parties is the right one to vote for?
    2
  11791. Despite what Putin's fanboys and the trolls would have you believe, this is so obviously true. Of course, Russia isn't going to admit that both its economy and its military capability have been considerably damaged. Putin is like the knight in the Monty Python sketch who insists "it's just a flesh wound".
    2
  11792. I'd much rather fund Ukraine than the 1000s of PARASITES claiming benefit who could definitely work!
    2
  11793. What's happening to the boosted people has me laughing my socks off. I'm so glad I wasn't one of those schmucks who took an experimental vaccine they didn't need.
    2
  11794. I hate Labour. But to be fair, while Reeves definitely hasn't made things better, most of the mess was created by previous Tory governments. People should have had the sense to vote for Reform UK!
    2
  11795. To paraphrase a former king: Will someone rid us of this meddlesome archbishop?
    2
  11796. I bet some of the pub's locals would enjoy having a private word with Ginger and his lawyer.
    2
  11797. While in some areas a car is necessary, most young people would be far better off using public transport, cycling, and walking. In the UK the average cost of just having a car, without any driving, is about £30 per week: and it's more for young people.
    2
  11798. If this had been a Russia training exercise then Russian MoD Film Studios would have presented it as a real battle in which they took out lots of Leopard tanks and killed lots of Ukrainians.
    2
  11799. Of course people "aren't doing the right thing". People NEED to work, and for most of them they won't get very ill.
    2
  11800. Reminds me of Ramsey Bolton's famous last words in GOT before his dogs ate him.
    2
  11801. But at least you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have kept a lot of waste of space lecturers off the street.
    2
  11802. Judging by the coffee shops and fast food joints in Enfield that are packed to bursting point, and the jam-packed roads, there still seems to be plenty of spare cash splashing around.
    2
  11803. Where does this fellow live? Because we are constantly being told that there are many, many vacancies that employers are finding it impossible to fill. When you can't get your dream job then you have to take whatever job is going.
    2
  11804. A classic case of the scorpion and the frog!
    2
  11805. @LBW Very good point!
    2
  11806. The brave Russian military, murdering women, children and old people. But they are not so brave when it comes to facing Ukrainian men of fighting age.
    2
  11807. Nasty little boys have a tendency to quarrel and fall out: even overgrown ones.
    2
  11808. Has Chicken Joe said that these drones can't be used inside Russia?
    2
  11809. I'm not Jewish, but I feel incredible anger that three Jewish schools near me had to close because of safety fears. There is no place in this country, or any civilized country, for those who engender such fears!
    2
  11810. And Dan Andrews would give those in WA government a free blow job.
    2
  11811. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. A government that deliberately refuses to defend its country's borders should be removed from power with the utmost urgency!
    2
  11812. Un gouvernement qui refuse délibérément de défendre les frontières de son pays doit être renversé de toute urgence, par tous les moyens nécessaires !
    2
  11813. I hope I don't get ill during this strike. BUT the whole idea of a strike is that it causes maximum damage and inconvenience. That's what makes it effective!
    2
  11814. Most of us our sick of woke police sticking their snouts into inconsequential matters, that don't concern them, instead of tackling real crime. Why should us taxpayers pay the wages of idiots who won't do their job?
    2
  11815. In under a year Putin has succeeded in killing more than 7 times as many Russians as died in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign. And let's not forget that in the face of people far less determined than the Ukrainians Russia lost!
    2
  11816. Serbia is a vile little country. It started WW I, and Serbs were responsible for terrible atrocities towards Croatians, just like those Russia is now committing.
    2
  11817. What these government morons don't tell you is that if you lower the temperature of your radiators from 75° to 60° then it will take your house much longer to warm up properly, and when your house has warmed up properly the thermostat will switch off your boiler anyway. So this is advice is either incredibly stupid or dishonest.
    2
  11818. And branding a faulty computer system as flawless.
    2
  11819. They should use the captured Russian soldiers that put them there!
    2
  11820. I take it that you are being sarcastic.
    2
  11821. For the sake of young people I'd like to see them fall much faster. 1% a month rather than 0.1% would be excellent.
    2
  11822. What I find incredible is the refusal of governments to focus on what really matters immunity. They are behaving like stubborn, willful children, throwing a tantrum because they don't like the facts. Hundreds of millions of people now have natural immunity, that is not only much better, but also longer lasting (maybe a lifetime) than vaccine induced immunity. It makes absolutely no sense to treat these people, who are safer, less favourably than vaccinated people. Then we have all those younger people, for whom covid-19 poses a negligible threat. They will shrug off this virus more easily than a cold, and then they will have excellent immunity. Two years ago if you had walked into any medical ethics lecture and asked whether you should administer a vaccine to those who were already immune, or at very low risk, you would have received an instantaneous unanimous NO! And that's without even mentioning that the vaccines in question haven't undergone the usual minimum 4 years safety trials.
    2
  11823. Either this man is incredibly stupid, or incredibly dishonest: probably both. The problem wasn't that lockdown came too late, it was that it came at all!
    2
  11824. What we really need is a new party, and people to have the sense to vote for it!
    2
  11825. They answer is very simple. Every neighbouring country knows they are looking across the border at an insane psychopath who won't hesitate to ravage their lands and people if he thinks that he has the slightest chance of getting away with it.
    2
  11826. And coming to a screen near you next week: the Xanadu variant. Give the scaremongering a rest. Only the most mentally retarded snowflakes are still worried by this virus.
    2
  11827. Putin has been playing Trump for over 3 months. But Trump is so blinded by his futile dream of getting a Nobel Peace Prize that he refuses to see what everybody else clearly can.
    2
  11828. 4 in 10, my unviolated arse!
    2
  11829. To any HONEST teacher in a secondary school this will come as no surprise. For decades we have been turning out mainly entitled kids, who don't want to work hard or go into real jobs that genuinely deliver something worthwhile to society. Unfortunately any teacher today who told a kid that they were lazy, and needed to pull their socks up, would probably lose their job. As someone who for the past decade has privately tutored A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry, I can tell you that the majority of my students are Asian or Black. Most white kids really don't want to work, and most schools are more than happy to see them "study" things like sociology and business studies, and then go off and do a Noddy degree.
    2
  11830. This is indeed very sad and horrible. However, people need to remember that Hamas deliberately hides among civilians. And, far from worrying about their deaths, it views such incidents as excellent propaganda: which works very well on many people.
    2
  11831. Covid-19 kills well under 1% of people, and the rest gain excellent natural immunity. The UN needs to man up and stop being such a bunch of bed wetters.
    2
  11832. Don't forget all the bent lawyers encouraging migrants to lie: and that the Law Society is turning a blind eye to.
    2
  11833. Calling for violence? If someone took out Dan Andrews most people in the state of Victoria would pin a medal on the hero!
    2
  11834. It looks like Mossad, MI6 and the CIA have their work cut out hunting down rabid animals in quite a few countries.
    2
  11835. Due to her being such a panicking scaredy cat over this virus, I've been calling her "Nicola the knicker wetter" for months. I certainly think it has a nice ring to it.
    2
  11836. I think Trump would be a very bad president. Unfortunately, just like our government, those in power have allowed, nay encouraged, a tsunami of illegal immigration, which is really hurting America. For the sake of America, and indeed the whole free world, BOTH Republicans and Democrats urgently need to choose new leaders.
    2
  11837. Many years ago there was a "punch a pom" campaign. What's needed now is a "punch a snowflake" campaign. Anyone who voluntarily takes a test deserves a damn good slap!
    2
  11838. Despotic tyrants always seek to silence any dissent. Unfortunately, often democracy and the ballot box is not effective in getting rid of them.
    2
  11839. Well, we had better IMMEDIATELY give the Ukrainians whatever weapons it will take to stop mad dog Putin erasing their cities.
    2
  11840. So the Russians' appetite for committing atrocities hasn't changed in over 70 years. These mass graves will remind many of how they murdered 22,000 Polish officers in WW II. These sickening war crimes demonstrate why it's so important to get the Russians out of Ukraine, and make sure that they can't invade any other civilized European country.
    2
  11841. Such pledges need to be made good very quickly, so that Ukraine can lunch a strong offensive that will eradicate the Orcs there and hurt Russia badly enough so that it never again attacks another peaceful sovereign nation.
    2
  11842. J’ai entendu dire que la Place Rouge aurait besoin d’un peu de réchauffement à cette période de l’année.
    2
  11843. And cutting it off makes you a eunuch, not a woman.
    2
  11844. Most of us don't even want them in the UK, so why would Israel let them in!
    2
  11845. If the secret police follow people in such an obvious fashion I'm surprised that many of them haven't had fatal "accidents" in dark alleys.
    2
  11846. This is why Russia must be kicked out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea, and defanged so that it can never again launch an unprovoked attack on any of its neighbours.
    2
  11847. Actually, often detecting a few fragments of the virus in a person does not mean they have covid-19. Their immune system might destroy them within a few hours, or they might even be what's left after the virus has already been destroyed.
    2
  11848. What's really crazy is that lots of the unvaccinated have natural immunity that is vastly better than these poorly tested vaccines. You are actually safer around many of these people.
    2
  11849. I'm definitely not a Labour fan, but I do agree with them on this one. For decades women got to retire 5 years earlier than men, despite the fact that they generally live longer. This was incredibly unjust, and many years warning about correcting this was given.
    2
  11850. Having your cancer reactivated because you were given a vaccine that you absolutely didn't need really sucks!
    2
  11851. A very sick joke, which is part of a very black comedy. But if you are watching from somewhere else in the world it really is very, very funny.
    2
  11852. And the monkeys in the zoo are ready to confront the zookeepers.
    2
  11853. I hope they are burying lots of Orcs with them.
    2
  11854. A single WW II tank. Thanks for giving us a good laugh Putin. I guess the rest of them are on their way to the front line. Next year they will be dragging the siege catapults out of the museums.
    2
  11855. ​ @denzildee3305  I hope you are right, for all our sakes.
    2
  11856.  @danielfellows8034  What an ignorant fellow you are. Perhaps someone could educate you about the losses the Poles took in that month. And it wasn't just Germany. They were attacked on the other side by Russia! Have you also any inkling of how many Poles fought and died alongside the British?
    2
  11857. ​ @dendradwar9464  The Poles and Ukrainians are like MOST of us, in regard to ethnic diversity. We are very happy to welcome others, as long as they don't try to enforce primitive and superstitious values on their host country, or abuse the young girls and women of their host country!
    2
  11858. However in the time he has been PM he has done heaps of damage to Australia!
    2
  11859. I was very disappointed that this oligarch hadn't added another million to the bounty on Putin's head.
    2
  11860. It makes one wonder why the Chinese made such a bloody fuss about Covid lockdowns, as Covid would have gone some way to alleviating the problem.
    2
  11861. If Russia's Black Sea Fleet is indeed nearly defenceless then it would be the absolute height of folly not to seize the opportunity to completely destroy it. AND, once it's gone taking out Putin's beloved Kerch bridge would be easier.
    2
  11862. Maybe it's one they keep in Russia to film these videos with.
    2
  11863. He would never have renounced his Austrian citizenship if he could see Austria now.
    2
  11864.  @sickoftheleftwingscum  Sadly, you are correct in this.
    2
  11865. Almost from the start it has been known that covid-19 poses a negligible risk to young people, and a very small one to their teachers and lectures. There has never been any justification for buggering the hell out of our young people's education and mental health: and this remains the case. Just accept that most young people will get covid-19. That most of them will shrug it off more easily than a bad cold. And that they will then have natural immunity that is 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity, and may well last them a lifetime. I have nothing but bottomless contempt for those who supported what has been done to our young people. They are selfish, craven cowards.
    2
  11866. If the Orcs don't withdraw from Ukraine then hopefully at least 80,000 of them will have died by Christmas.
    2
  11867. Sounds like the start of a "special operation". Ah well, it's about time we supported the West's economy and stopped buying from China.
    2
  11868. Ironically, the countries Putin is going to hurt most are the very ones that support him or have sat on the fence.
    2
  11869. The invisible ones in the field.
    2
  11870. Many years ago the lunatic asylums were open to the public, rather like zoos. They could come and be entertained by the antics of the inmates. Watching Harry and Megan is rather like this.
    2
  11871. Unfortunately its impossible to sort the chaff from the wheat, but if one could single out the civilians in Russia that support Putin it would be really wonderful to inflict the same on them.
    2
  11872. It's been several days since those cluster munitions were promised. If there was enough will they should NOW be reaching the front line!
    2
  11873. Decent people don't have confidence in liars and cheats!
    2
  11874. If you think that's bad then visit Bradford on a hot sunny day. You will think you are in Pakistan.
    2
  11875. One thing you have to credit Putin with is finding a way to reduce the burden of criminals on the state and the taxpayer. I'm betting that many of us in the US and UK would dearly love to see our violent and dangerous prisoners turned into cannon fodder.
    2
  11876. Of course, Trump has never negotiated in bad faith or u-turned on a deal.
    2
  11877. Don't count on it. Lying cheating governments have just pulled a new variant out of their Christmas stocking, which they are going to use to bugger up people's Christmas again, if people are stupid enough to let them repeat exactly the same con.
    2
  11878. The populations they are elected to SERVE woke up to this danger years ago!
    2
  11879. These are intensely stupid people. It never crosses their tiny minds that often they are producing 10 tons of CO₂ in their efforts to save 1 ton: and doing a lot of other damage along the way.
    2
  11880. The overwhelming welcome we give to the dinghy boys is most certainly laughable. We put them up in 4 star hotels, with the intent of then flying them off to a nice warm African country. Most of these dinghy boys pass through countries with great weather, outstanding scenery, and a really rich cultural heritage. Yet they forsake all this to risk their lives boating to Britain. Something has got to be very, very wrong!
    2
  11881. A lawyer who makes shed loads of money from illegal immigrants. Of course he doesn't want his main source of income sent to Rwanda.
    2
  11882. If this is indeed so then I trust that TTK has privately given Zelensky carte blanche to use those Storm Shadows as he sees fit.
    2
  11883. Why isn't this man asking for OAPs' pensions to be made up to what they should have got under the "triple lock"?
    2
  11884. TTK is desperate that most people don't see how popular Reform UK is: and how unpopular Labour is.
    2
  11885. Hamas would do it? Hamas DID do it!
    2
  11886. Covid cases rising is good. It means that more people are getting PROPER, robust and long lasting natural immunity. So before too long we will see better than "a decent amount of protection". Take it from this proud Pure Blood, who is laughing at all the schmucks that took these poorly tested vaccines.
    2
  11887. Saying Putin is committing a war crime is a bit like saying that the Pope is celebrating mass. Though one suspects that the number of war crimes Putin has committed far exceeds the number of masses that the Pope has ever celebrated.
    2
  11888. Not just babies are being impacted. Due to 3 years of grossly inflated GCSE and A level grades, students and their parents have been lulled into a false sense of security. Many are no longer getting the private tuition that could really help them, or are using cheap and nasty online tuition. Expect massive whinging next summer when reality, and proper grading, bites them hard.
    2
  11889.  @KernowFay  Well, with scumbag Starmer as the alternative, I guess it's a bit like being asked to choose between Hitler and Stalin.
    2
  11890. We need a few more motorists to give some of them a damn good kicking, because the police aren't doing their job!
    2
  11891. No. People had more freedom in communist states.
    2
  11892. Why anyone from a civilized, democratic country would risk setting foot in today's Russia mystifies me.
    2
  11893. Of course we all know that no council would even consider cancelling a Muslim festival!
    2
  11894. Actually we want lots more transmission among the vast majority, who are at very low risk. Because the natural immunity they then get is extremely effective and long lasting. In the meantime JUST the vulnerable need to be isolated and/or vaccinated. This is the ONLY way forward. Hang on. Wasn't that exactly what the REAL experts have been saying form the start, and what our mentally challenged government is still ignoring?
    2
  11895. Zahawi can't give any evidence, because there is NONE! Why is it that when it comes to ministers education always seems to get the most intellectually retarded? Oh, I know why. It's because those in government send their kids to private schools and don't give a toss what's going on in the state sector.
    2
  11896. It's only certain groups, and they stand out a mile (and NOT because of their colour) that fail to integrate with British society. After fighting with the British, my Polish father decided to remain in Britain rather than live under Stalin. He married my Irish mother who had been sent over here to work for Aer Lingus. Myself and my siblings were never brought up to feel anything other than British. If you don't like, or can't accept this country's customs and values then go and live somewhere that espouses your values!
    2
  11897. Watch out for all the comments by weeping Putin rent boys.
    2
  11898. We need a government that isn't stuffed to the gills with self-serving cretins: which certainly isn't the Tories or Labour. But are there enough politicians, with intelligence and integrity, to form an alternative party? And even if there were, would most people have the sense to vote for them?
    2
  11899. Special ops should have taken out Kim Jung-un years ago!
    2
  11900. Let me tell you a true story that happened to me as a student. A violent drunken bar man took a dislike to something innocuous that I had said: when he said "can I have your glasses" I jokingly took mine off and offered them to him. As I walked out of the pub door he punched me in the face forcing my glasses frame into the skin above the eye, which required several stitches. However there just happened to be two independent witnesses, who had just left the pub and saw everything. The case went to Snaresbrook crown court, and here's how the defendant's barrister handled it. By his questioning of me he did his utmost to try and convince the jury that I was a troublemaker. Unfortunately I dealt with his questions very robustly, and it was clear that his tactic had failed miserably. Now here's where it get's interesting. He arranged for the defendant to claim to be sick, and not turn up for questioning the following day. The trial was then rescheduled to start a few weeks later, with a brand new jury. This time the barrister adopted a totally different tactic. He didn't attack my character at all, but simply claimed that the door hit me in the face. The initial approach of this barrister, followed by his getting a trial cancelled, so that he could adopt a totally different approach with a new jury, very strongly suggests that he was in absolutely no doubt whatsoever of his defendant's guilt. There's a difference between strongly believing in your client's guilt and being certain of it. Should a barrister try to get someone off whom they know is guilty?
    2
  11901. Of course any of us that don't endorse far-left opinions and agendas are considered far-right by them: which is most of the country.
    2
  11902. Years ago both the police and the courts took crime much more seriously. Just saying.
    2
  11903. Cover while they run away.
    2
  11904. So true about changing the party. They are now far better liars and cheats.
    2
  11905. Be comforted by the fact that all those illegal migrants, in plush hotels, are being kept toasty warm and well fed.
    2
  11906. The great thing about masks at the moment is they enable you to instantly spot the bed-wetting snowflakes and feeble-minded.
    2
  11907. YouTube's censorship is like the Nazis preventing their journalists reporting on the true state of affairs in their death camps! Why doesn't YouTube have the integrity and courage to simply admit that it was (no, IS) wrong to support the government narrative of Covid vaccines?
    2
  11908. This reminds one of Jews fleeing Hitler's Germany. We really need to (ultra) fast track NATO membership for countries on Russia's border.
    2
  11909. Hezbollah's defiance reminds one of Monty Python's knight rolling on the ground saying "it's only a flesh wound".
    2
  11910. What some might perceive as changing tactics, others think of as more a case of a drowning man flailing in all directions as he desperately clutches at straws. Putin has killed about 7 times as many Russians as the Soviet war in Afghanistan did. For a "special operation" that was only meant to last a few days, that doesn't look too good.
    2
  11911. Until Putin is removed from power this will continue, and if he wins then other countries will experience the same kind of thing.
    2
  11912. More likely shooting at trees, or their own tanks that their own soldiers have deserted.
    2
  11913. Sounds about right.
    2
  11914. The real problem is cowardly morons like you. Those cases aren't leading to lots of deaths. Even before the vaccine this virus killed less than 1%, mainly over 80. Also, the number of deaths is exaggerated by a factor of between 5 and 10. You need to grow a pair and man up!
    2
  11915. But you know who are very unlikely to get infected? Those with NATURAL IMMUNITY. That's what's really scaring governments. This variant will expose their lies about natural immunity. Also, if the early South African doctors' findings, about this variant being EXTREMELY MILD, pan out then it offers the very real possibility of quickly and SAFELY bestowing natural immunity on many millions: something else governments are also terrified of.
    2
  11916. Pity he isn't as keen not to renege on the "triple lock", for struggling OAPs who are facing massive heating bill and food bill price rises.
    2
  11917. In the last couple of days many of us were sickened to see bent coppers arresting a man for holding up a sign saying "Hamas are terrorists".
    2
  11918. To think, if Boris hadn't surrendered to what Thatcher would have called the "Wets", he would still be in power, the economy would be in much better shape, and so would the Conservative party. Having insane lockdowns and restrictions was the biggest mistake of his political career. He should have followed Sweden's sterling example. Sars-cov-2 only ever threatened a small fraction of 1% of the population. Most of those reported as having died from it most assuredly DIDN'T. The ones who did were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick, and most would have died soon anyway. Also, only enough experimental vaccine should have been bought for 5% of the population at the very most, because the vast majority didn't need it.

  11919. The Knicker Wetter really has gone gaga! Did it never occur to that tiny peanut between her ears that just keeping the door open gives even more ventilation, and that often doors are closed to keep in the noise from a louder than normal lesson, or keep it out. A far better thing to saw off would be the Knicker Wetter's head!
    2
  11920. About a week ago we were told that around £45,000 per year is spent on each illegal immigrant. Let's not use the euphemism "asylum seeker". They get put up in good hotels, given free mobile phones, and now Sadiq wants to give his buddies free transport. There are many very hardworking Brits that get far less than this!
    2
  11921. Does anyone really believe a word this wide-boy says. The snowflakes have been whining for weeks, so he already had plenty of time to massively step the vaccination rate up to what it was back in January. This cowardly, and senseless, delay is going to destroy many hospitality businesses, and hundreds of thousands of jobs. There are also doctors concerned that it's going to cost the lives of people who now won't attend checkups, or miss procedures. Yes, there are more infections, but they are overwhelmingly in young people, who typically shrug them off more easily than a cold. Hospital numbers and deaths have not increased significantly. This is the act of a craven coward who listens to frightened snowflakes rather than "listening to the science".
    2
  11922. If we are being honest, the Tories were just as bad. As for the reason, it's because most politicians are gutless cowards, who are terrified of offending militant Muslims!
    2
  11923.  @LittleLoz  Grow a spine!
    2
  11924. A decent cop is facing a criminal investigation for tackling an animal who broke his female colleague's nose. Grabbing that mike was both illegal and unprofessional, but this creep will face no consequences for it.
    2
  11925. As in the UK, this is what happens when you elect self-serving, dishonest politicians, with sh*t for brains. Of course, that's most politicians.
    2
  11926. Far better would be no more private cars in London, except for people who really need to drive, like tradesmen.
    2
  11927. Now, unlike harmless Sars-cov-2, here is a bad-ass virus worth losing some sleep over.
    2
  11928. Slightly over 40 years ago I worked for the Home Office. Unless it's changed majorly for the better let me put it this way. If the Home Office was a very large box of pencils you would have to search very hard to find the exceedingly scarce sharp ones!
    2
  11929. Due to simple numbers, and Putin not valuing Russian lives, trench warfare massively favours Russia. Ukraine MUST focus on tactics it has shown itself to be very good at, and develop new tactics. Play the game that favours your opponent, by a large margin, and you WILL lose!
    2
  11930. The thing is that an awful lot of Slavs don't want to be part of this insane psychopath's evil empire.
    2
  11931. Contrary to this lying government's claim restrictions were never necessary. This virus never posed a risk to about 99% of people. As a recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed, just 17,500 otherwise healthy people died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. This is a very far cry from the 150,000 that Downing Street would have us believe. The ONLY plan we need is to get rid of absolutely every measure associated with this insane panic!
    2
  11932. For the next 4 years and 9 months how popular Labour is doesn't matter in the least. They have carte blanche to do as much damage to this country as they like.
    2
  11933. Much as I support Ukraine if this was down to them then it's very embarrassing. There are so many important pieces of infrastructure in Moscow that would make easier and much better targets. And let's not forget the thousands of miles of pipelines across Russia that it's impossible to defend everywhere. These are excellent targets.
    2
  11934. One of the reasons this war has continued is that Russian territory has been more or less untouched by it.
    2
  11935. In a sane country, that cared for its citizens, he would be deported after serving his sentence.
    2
  11936. If I'd been in the shop I'd probably have beaten the crap out of that man!
    2
  11937. Awesomely funny.
    2
  11938. For years nurses have been very poorly paid for what they do. There are no shortage of bimbo secretaries who are paid more to spend half the day filing their nails and browsing social media. The government's going out to clap for them was a cynical propaganda stunt to keep the great unwashed distracted. Perhaps it's time for the great unwashed to pay a tiny bit more tax, to pay those who look after them fairly. One thing is certain. Apart from the parasitic administrators, most NHS staff work a lot harder than MPs!
    2
  11939. This Scottish isle is still subject to UK law. But sadly there seems to be a strong reluctance to make Muslims obey our laws. Apparently the man who broke the nose of a female police officer isn't even being charged.
    2
  11940. It's just a shame for most conscripts that these intensely trained newly enlisted make up less than 1% of those called up. But then, how much training do you need to be cannon fodder?
    2
  11941. It's looking like COP29 is going to be a cop out.
    2
  11942. We need a snipper to take out Trudeau!
    2
  11943. Dream on Putin fanboy.
    2
  11944.  @c0detearz320  Let's cut the crap. All the covering up was invented by cave men who regard women as their property and don't want other men looking at them. It's got absolutely nothing to do with being a good Muslim.
    2
  11945. You've got to be awed by the gullibility and stupidity of the Russian people, who don't understand that these are propaganda videos, and that less than 1 in 1000 conscripts gets such training.
    2
  11946. In any sane country immigrants would be expected to pay their own way AND contribute taxes.
    2
  11947. DEPORT!!!
    2
  11948. If nothing is off the table then Sunak should keep in mind that there are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots just gagging for the opportunity to fly missions to clear Ukrainian skies of Orcs.
    2
  11949.  @AdamSahr-cj4kf  Look at all the likes, Hamas supporter.
    2
  11950. Two things really annoy me. Why was this guy given the choice of appearing in person for sentencing. He should have been goaded to court with a cattle prod if necessary. Even worse, it's now going to cost the taxpayer to keep him in prison. Animals like this should be forced to work to pay for their imprisonment. And I do mean forced, no matter what it takes.
    2
  11951. Two such incidents in a fairly short time make me wonder whether MI5 need to be taking out the garbage.
    2
  11952. There are people who believe they are Jedi Knights or Wizards. Does that mean I get done because publicly burning a Star Wars or Harry Potter book would seriously upset them? Just because many more people believe a fantasy doesn't make it any more real.
    2
  11953. Maybe Italy should make reparations to Britain for the Roman invasion 2000 years ago.
    2
  11954. Putin is definitely not desperate for peace. He is desperate for a respite that will allow him to regroup and rearm. Once he has done that to his satisfaction he will attack again. When you have your opponent on the ropes you don't let him go back to his corner to freshen up.
    2
  11955.  @ExpanseRoci  Government relies on most people being stupid and frightened enough to interpret this as being killed by covid-19. If one checked for people wearing red underwear in the last 28 days one would probably find similar figures. Unfortunately there ARE enough stupid people who would believe that wearing red underwear killed them.
    2
  11956. Why hasn't Starmer dispatched our navy to forcibly turn these boats back while they are still at sea? So much for hitting the ground running. Or perhaps he's running to roll out the red carpet for them.
    2
  11957. AND demand that they have done what most of us consider to be a proper job, for at least 5 years, before being eligible to become an MP.
    2
  11958. The recent elections in Scotland have demonstrated the intense stupidity of so many Scots. They have had a year of this woman acting like Chicken Little, and crucifying them. Yet what do they do? They vote her back in. They now richly deserve all the pain and misery she is heaping upon them.
    2
  11959. But even Russian Orcs don't behead babies.
    2
  11960. It's generally accepted that those on minimum wage struggle. Yet the state pension is about half that of someone on minimum wage working a standard 40 hours a week. Britain's treatment of its pensions is among the meanest in the developed world. And most pensioners have paid their taxes towards a state pension for over 45 years. There's absolutely nothing extravagant or generous about the triple lock.
    2
  11961. Unless the UK wants to welcome many thousands of dingy boys over the summer and autumn these flights need to start very quickly, and in earnest.
    2
  11962. Why are the police, and so-called "morality police" dying? If things are to change then these are the ones who need to die, not the protesters.
    2
  11963. Throw her into a cell with lots of Russian POWs who can show their appreciation for the help she's giving the Orcs.
    2
  11964. Sorry, but I find nothing to celebrate in giving a poorly tested vaccine to many people who really don't need it. This runs totally counter to medical ethics. I only hope we won't see it triggering cases of auto immune diseases in a few years time.
    2
  11965. Not at all astonishing. In many countries illegal immigration is one of people's biggest concerns. Trump is the ONLY politician that is really doing what people want done.
    2
  11966. There are several regions that want out of Putin's evil empire. And there's never been a better time to make that bid for freedom.
    2
  11967. Most of this is happening for one reason only. Stupid bed-wetters believed No.10's scaremongering propaganda and let them institute totally unnecessary, and crippling, lockdowns and restrictions. And for what? A virus that's less bother than a cold to 99% of people, and that then bequeaths excellent natural immunity.
    2
  11968. With Putin going begging to Iran and North Korea, one does wonder if he really could manage this.
    2
  11969. That buffoon Boris has just trumpeted how 50% of the UK population has now had both jabs. We are also told that vaccines are effective against variants. So it's extremely unlikely that not violating people's right to travel will lead to a significant increase in deaths or hospitalisations. Those now being hospitalised are mainly refuseniks, so why the hell should other people suffer for their bad choice? Other than irrational, unadulterated cowardice, there is no reason that people shouldn't be allowed to travel anywhere, without any tests or restrictions. This tyranny must end!
    2
  11970. When is out CORRUPT government going to outlaw dividends and bonuses to the directors of water companies until they have stopped dumping sewage and fixed leaking water pipes?
    2
  11971. I thought no degree, bookie's runner, Major was the worst. However, PPE degree Sunak has clearly demonstrated that even from Oxford some degrees are no indication of intelligence.
    2
  11972. Just how far has this country fallen when we let fundamental Islamists and anti-Semites threaten our schools. So many young men gave their lives in WW II so that things like this would never happen in OUR country.
    2
  11973. Mad dog Putin has a May 9th deadline to meet. Hopefully those brave Ukrainians will rain very heavily on his parade.
    2
  11974. As others have said the FSB are bungling goons, who are only good against those who can't fight back.
    2
  11975. Most of us agree, but YouTube has removed a lot of comments saying exactly this.
    2
  11976. If Anderson had worked for the Home Office, and seen the lack of quality of most that do, he wouldn't be in the least surprised by the ineptitude.
    2
  11977. If various people hadn't stuck their noses in Charles would have married Camilla way before he ever met Diana, and both would have enjoyed a very long and happy marriage!
    2
  11978. Nothing new or surprising, then.
    2
  11979. Governments' propaganda campaigns remind me of medieval times. The church convincing ignorant peasants to believe in witches, which only the church could then save them from.
    2
  11980. What amuses me is that the White House is happy to allow YouTube (an American company based in California) delete and hide millions of posts that most people agree with. So much for supporting free speech.
    2
  11981.  @Getonwithit204  You mean FACTS that you don't want told.
    2
  11982. This barge should not be moored in one of the sunniest and most picturesque parts of the country. Somewhere far up North, where its bleak cold and wet, is where it belongs.
    2
  11983. It's not just about the KNOWN risks. The use of mRNA as a vaccine is completely new. It is IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee that there will not be any very serious side effects in a few years time. Nobody at very low risk should be vaccinated!
    2
  11984. Sorry, but i don't have a lot of sympathy for those who get abused for trying to make others wear face nappies.
    2
  11985. Medical ethics is absolutely clear on this. A person should not be given a treatment unless there is SIGNIFICANT benefit to that person receiving the treatment, NOT to somebody else. This was definitely not the case for over 95% who received these vaccines. But it's even worse, because what medical ethics says is in regard to well established treatment, and the Covid "vaccines" had not undergone the usual 3 to 4 years phase III safety trials. That application of Covid vaccines is like an incredibly scaled up version of what happen in some German and Japanese concentration camps!
    2
  11986. Unfortunately if the offensive stops because of the winter then, just like last year, the Orcs will be able to regroup and build more of the kind of defences that have caused Ukrainian forces so much trouble in the last few months.
    2
  11987. The same kind of things REALLY NEED to start happening in Moscow! Ukraine may not have the long range rockets, but they should think of what the IRA did to the NATWest Tower, or the Jihadi tube bombings. There are probably plenty of Russian speaking Ukrainians who could move around unnoticed in Moscow.
    2
  11988. ​ @paulnolan1352  Unlike people such as you I was totally opposed to lockdowns and other restrictions over a little virus that only posed a threat to a small fraction of 1%. But then as someone who used to rock climb and pothole I guess I'm not a bed-wetting snowflake.
    2
  11989. Up to about the age of 25 the human brain is still developing, and a very important part of that development is coming to terms with social interactions. So is it really any wonder that if you seriously interfere with this development then there are serious repercussions for mental health? Anyone could have predicted this, but UK society is now packed with selfish cowards, who told themselves that young people were really resilient and would breeze through having their lives buggered to hell. This virus has always posed a negligible risk to young people, and a miniscule one to most of their educators. As such a decent caring society would have made certain that their education and social interactions were not affected. The UK should feel deep shame for the totally craven manner in which it has treated those who represent our future.
    2
  11990. Trump is living proof that great intelligence isn't a prerequisite for great wealth, or even being the US president. As many people far brighter than him, though that's not saying much, have pointed out, stopping Putin in Ukraine comes at a bargain basement price compared to letting him win.
    2
  11991. Did anyone really expect a stupid bint like Truss to accomplish anything?
    2
  11992. Ireland needs to do what cowardly Sunak didn't have the guts to do. Use one of its remote bleak islands to detain these illegals on. Then they will rush back across the border to Northern Ireland as fast as they can.
    2
  11993. As another post says, this is often just an excuse to push up premiums, or make those of us in safe areas pay through the nose to subsidize others. My insurer, who I'd been with for years, tried using this excuse to rip me off, even though I'm in very safe Enfield, and on a hill. Switching to Direct Line halved what I'd been quoted!
    2
  11994. Yes, the Kerch bridge really needs to be a priority for so many reasons.
    2
  11995. As far as I'm aware the dangers of LSD have been grossly exaggerated. Part of the reason is that governments like simplistic "one size fits all" scenarios. The crazy response to relatively innocuous Sars-cov-2 should have made more people realise this.
    2
  11996. As others have said sycamores are weeds. They are precious little use to wildlife.
    2
  11997. People really think this guy is a business expert? Compared to many other countries, Britain's railways are a pathetic joke, well and truly entrenched in the last century, or even the one before that. We need to get as much traffic as we can off the roads, and a modern efficient railway system could help a lot with this. Unlike ignorant Buik, I once used to do a daily commute from Leeds to London. So I am in a position to appreciate the colossal difference that a faster and cheaper rail system could make to this country.
    2
  11998. "No-fault" evictions aren't about landlords wantonly throwing good tenants out on the street. They are about providing a safety net for landlords who have bad tenants and don't want to go through many months of hell, and lots of expense, dragging them through the courts. My father was a very good landlord, who charged far lower rents than he could have got. I'll never forget the hell he went through evicting a really bad, evil tenant, who totally wrecked her rooms when the courts (after more than half a year) finally made her leave. Without safeguards far fewer will risk letting out property.
    2
  11999. We only have Russia's word that 65 PoWs were on board. And Russia is not renowned for its veracity!
    2
  12000. If most people had brains they wouldn't watch such rubbish!
    2
  12001. Ah, covid-19, the gift that keeps on giving excuses for all cheats and liars. One really does wonder why the government makes such a fuss over a virus that mainly kills those that it seems intent on cheating out of their pensions. So, despite energy bills and food prices going through the roof, the government has reneged on the "triple lock" and now it wants to cheat many people out of collecting their pension at all. "Let them eat cake". The only problem is that those who the government are stopping retiring, won't be able to afford the cake, because nobody will give them a job. But ageism is illegal, I hear you say. However, like FGM the government and courts turn a blind eye.
    2
  12002. As someone who is a UK qualified teacher, and has taught in a lot of schools I can confirm that most teachers are indeed pretty crap, and don't give a toss about the kids.
    2
  12003. What the f**k is wrong with Biden. It's OK for Russian missiles to reach all the way to Lviv, but Ukraine is being denied weapons that could destroy the Russian supply routes that are facilitating this. If the infrastructure just a few mile across the border could be taken out, along with the Crimea bridge and Russian warships then this would make a big difference. Putin is an insane psychopath, who needs defeating on the battlefield, NOT appeasement.
    2
  12004. NOT without another referendum. And I think Khan would find that even more now want to be out of the EU.
    2
  12005. For this to stop Russians really need to start getting a taste of the same medicine. Would it really be so hard for some special ops to take out some of Moscow's infrastructure?
    2
  12006. "digging yourself into a radioactive trench" This tells you all you need to know about the average IQ of a Russian squaddie.
    2
  12007. Unfortunately inflation feeds on itself unless a concerted effort is made to contain it. By eating away at the value of savings it encourages people to spend, rather than see what they have got decrease in value. It also encourages people to spend what they haven't got, for fear of what they want to buy going up in price. Inflation is very much like a cancer: it's always better not to have any.
    2
  12008. If only. And fill it with nerve gas.
    2
  12009. Few would mourn if Serbia were wiped off the face of the earth. This is a truly vile little country. It precipitated WW I, carried out appalling atrocities against Croats, and now it's supporting the 21st century version of Hitler.
    2
  12010. I would imagine that a good percentage of heath workers have had covid-19 and recovered from it. These will now have natural immunity that is as good, if not better, than that afforded by vaccination. Why force such people to take a vaccine that will not benefit them in the least? I would expect such behaviour from the morons in Downing Street, with their classics and PPE degrees. However I would expect a more logical and rational response from the French.
    2
  12011. We need to stop paying people to skive off work.
    2
  12012. Am I the only one who, while celebrating this, feels that the hiatus is a cause for very deep shame. It's been like the dark ages of space exploration. Just think of where we might be now if we hadn't had this half century break.
    2
  12013.  @Nerval-kg9sm  Manned missions are definitely not just politics. There's still so much that a man can do that a machine can't.
    2
  12014. This is why Russia must never be allowed to win. Time and again attacks are carried out directly against civilians, or against targets that will cause suffering to civilians. Putin is like the school bully who beats up a boy's little sister because he can't take on the boy himself.
    2
  12015. This is the most heinous example of political correctness. Young white girls were deliberately sacrificed because the police in places like Rochdale didn't want to offend those of a certain ethnicity and religious persuasion. Those police who turned a blind eye should get the prison sentences that others who richly deserved them have escaped up to now. And I say "up to now" because these cases ought to be reopened and all the perpetrators jailed for a very long time.
    2
  12016. Won't happen, because most of us would be far stricter than the government is prepared to be.
    2
  12017. It looks as if these F-16s will be delivered far too late to help Ukraine. Pilots have already been training on them for some time. so they need to be delivered NOW, not next year! There are probably also plenty of ace NATO pilots who would love to take some leave of absence and go Orc hunting.
    2
  12018. Just stop rescuing them!!!
    2
  12019. Many Poles still remember how Stalin formed a pact with Hitler, followed by Russia launching a completely unprovoked attack on Poland. It's not going to be so easy this time for Russia's Nazi dictator.
    2
  12020. Committed by an illegal migrant from Afghanistan. Who'd have thought?
    2
  12021. How can anyone be stupid enough to believe that 25% of the working age population are too sick to work? What percentage of the people that you know are genuinely that sick? I'm betting it's under one third of this number.
    2
  12022. More importantly they should not be able to determine its level of care, or lack thereof.
    2
  12023. Turkey is NATO's 5th column and it's time to kick this farce of a democracy out of NATO in favour of two genuine democracies that share our Western values, and have leaders who respect women. Swapping Turkey for Sweden and Finland would be like swapping a large steaming turd for two expensive bottles of perfume.
    2
  12024. You will search in vain for copies of The Black and White Minstrel Show, which millions of people, who weren't at all racist, really enjoyed. If this was released on DVD and Blu Ray the BBC could rake in a lot of dosh, instead of raising the license fee. But in all likelihood they have burnt the celluloid in a ceremony reminiscent of Nazi book burning.
    2
  12025. There is no jurisdiction! So those CORRUPT Canadian judges can F**K OFF. Some of that money ought to be used to take out "contracts" on Trudeau and those judges!
    2
  12026. I suppose the question is are most of the Russian military insane enough to obey Putin's orders to use nuclear weapons, rather than put a bullet through his head. One would have thought that any sane commander was reflecting heavily on how a "special operation", that was meant to be over in a week, has dragged on for nearly 6 months, with very heavy Russian loss of life. You don't need much intelligence to see that the death of Putin, and his so-called "strong men", is very much in Russia's own interest.
    2
  12027. Clearly this pathetic and desperate psychopath never tires of repeating himself. He's been threatening to nuke the UK out of existence for about a year now.
    2
  12028.  @narendra62  First I'd fix the degree grading, which is far too generous. Then, If you got a 1st the government would pay all your fees, and maybe some of your student loan, with smaller rebates for an upper or lower 2nd. Of course, those doing Noddy degrees get nothing!
    2
  12029. "Standing up for their beliefs"? You are jesting. All I see is a bunch of pathetic, frightened, whinging sheep.
    2
  12030. Pourquoi un commentaire précédent, en anglais, a-t-il été supprimé par YouTube simplement parce qu'il disait que rien ne sera fait tant qu'un député, un juge, ou l'un de leurs proches ne sera pas victime de ces criminels étrangers ?
    2
  12031. Sadly, and not just in Afghanistan, there is a high percentage of very inadequate men who feel threatened by any woman who is bright. Even in the UK plenty of teachers will tell you that there is no shortage of fathers who think that education is wasted on girls: and these ARE NOT Muslims.
    2
  12032. The Poles remember only too well how Russia teamed up with Nazi Germany to invade Poland. They also remember the Russians' cold-blooded murder of 22,000 Polish officers at Katyn. In 70 years Russia hasn't changed!
    2
  12033. Hardly a day now goes by when frightened little Putin doesn't make some empty threat.
    2
  12034. Due to exceptional greed, both bosses and shareholders have seriously mismanaged Thames Water. This is a chance for Labour to demonstrate a little socialism and nationalise the company without paying any compensation. The vast majority of us would strongly support such a move.
    2
  12035.  @WagnerWithShovels  Only in your dreams.
    2
  12036. Agreed. Unfortunately the money will come from us hard pressed taxpayers rather than the scum in Downing Street, who are the ones that deserve to pay.
    2
  12037. I can't seem to get too worked up over a company that makes cars for rich people.
    2
  12038.  @pip1723  Did I say Truss offers anything? No, I'm just saying that Starmer would be even worse!
    2
  12039. There are people with agonising and life threatening conditions who can't get appointments. These come before the nut jobs who often clog up our GPs' practices when they just need to man up and pull themselves together.
    2
  12040. Leniency is only for those who commit real crimes!
    2
  12041. Discouraging education at private schools will only mean more work for people like me. Just today I had a parent sign their child up for private physics and maths tuition. Their comment was: "however many hours are needed, whatever books are needed, we will pay".
    2
  12042. You are already suffering serious mental health problems if you support the Taliban, or just sit back and let them take over your country.
    2
  12043. So, let me get this right. People in Canada, who have not broken any law, can now have their bank accounts frozen. Am I the only one who has a really big problem with this? It seems like the "leaders" in countries that we used to regard as some of the most democratic are in competition to win Nazi of the Year award, and at the moment Trudeau has a big lead.
    2
  12044. Is Hegseth even remotely aware of the1938 Munich negotiations? The result of allowing Germany to keep Austria and the Sudetenland only emboldened it, rather than leading to "peace in our time". If Putin is even rewarded in the slightest he will definitely be back again. Without anything to show it's more or less guaranteed that he will be "removed" from power, with a real chance of lasting peace.

  12046. Hopefully it won't take so long to lock up all his mates.
    2
  12047. What's by far the most dangerous aspect of all this is that it has made rabid fundamentalist animals all over the world think that they can defeat those who are civilized and believe in equal rights and democracy.
    2
  12048. This reminds me of what my Polish father told me of the choice given to him after two years in a Russian labour camp. He was called into a room and told that he could choose to fight against the Nazis with either the British or the Russians. When he opted for the British the Russian officer got very aggressive, but fortunately there was also a British officer in the room who backed him up. How things haven't changed.

  12049. Why the monkeys stand by side with Hamas!
    2
  12050. Without Starmer's unstinting support of totally unnecessary and incredibly damaging lockdowns and restrictions, No.10 could never have got them through in the face of staunch Tory backbench opposition. So Starmer is just as responsible for our crashed pound!
    2
  12051. C'est difficile à croire, mais YouTube a supprimé le commentaire suivant lorsqu'il était en anglais : Tant de petites filles, certaines d'à peine 12 ans, ont été violées et maltraitées, et pourtant presque tous les hommes responsables n'ont jamais été traduits en justice, parce que ceux qui auraient dû s'occuper de ça cela ont fermé les yeux. Je suis sûr que, comme moi, la plupart des gens veulent voir les auteurs de ces crimes, ET ceux qui les ont laissés s'en tirer, très sévèrement punis.
    2
  12052. Well done! Lots more of this is needed ASAP.
    2
  12053. Come on Putin, let's see you invade a NATO country. Then NATO will also come to the party in Ukraine and sweep all your Orcs away, in very short measure!
    2
  12054. Victim blaming on steroids.
    2
  12055. Every decent person is in complete agreement with this. Unfortunately YouTube has removed or hidden most comments expressing the same sentiment!

  12057. @D R That of forests is vastly higher.

  12058. Months ago, older Ukrainians were saying that living under Russian occupation was far worse than living under Nazi German occupation during WW II. This is why it's so important that we must make sure Putin doesn't win, no matter what the cost.
    2
  12059. ​ @Phil-ny3bg  TTK might be slightly above average intelligence, but he most certainly is very far from being "highly intelligent".
    2
  12060. Simple. If the West's resolve weakens then it's goodbye to an independent Taiwan!
    2
  12061. Any deal allowing Putin to keep even the smallest scrap of Ukraine, including Crimea, would be repeating Chamberlain's now infamous mistake, with just as dire consequences.
    2
  12062. People need reminding. DO NOT BOOK A HOLIDAY IN TURKEY, and if you already have then CANCEL it! Greece has just as much to offer, if not more. Finland and Sweden need and deserve the protection of being part of NATO, but this is being blocked by a misogynistic pig.
    2
  12063. These Russian wives and mothers were only too happy to see the grief suffered by their Ukrainian counterparts. They richly deserve to shed a river of tears. Of course, if these ethnic minorities don't want to be cannon fodder then the answer is very simple: cede from the Russian Federation, because Putin is now too weak to prevent this.

  12069.  @JesseP.Watson  I'm sorry, you are absolutely right. How inconsiderate of me to try and stop the shares in big pharma owned by Boris and his Eton friends from increasing in value. Whatever next? Are people going to start expecting them to do an honest day's work to earn their crust? The great unwashed like me need to learn our place.

  12070. Considering Heathrow's importance, even a complete idiot would have done the following: 1. Make sure the substation was really secure. 2. Make sure it was inspected very regularly and kept in tip-top condition. 3. Make sure that the backup generator was tested very regularly.

  12071. You don't need to be a doctor to understand that there is no conceivable way that 8.75% of the workforce is too sick to work.
    2
  12072. Also from YouTube, which pulls every comment asking if mRNA injections might be to blame.
    2
  12073. YouTube usually removes any comments that are anti Russian, Iranian or Chinese: and those "too strongly" expressing support for Ukraine.

  12074. When my brother was a policeman somebody crept up behind him and smashed a box over his head while his accomplice was remonstrating with him about his rights. Despite what the woke brigade would have you believe, people who aren't doing anything wrong don't get tasered.

  12075. That's why Egypt won't open its borders. It doesn't want fundamentalists and terrorist flooding in.

  12080. Sadly, people are scientifically illiterate and highly irrational. That's why they also panic about a virus that is no threat to over 99%, and leaves those who have recovered from it with excellent natural immunity. Not only is nuclear energy the safest, it would now be even safer still and much more efficient if governments had spent many decades pandering to frightened snowflakes.
    2
  12081. The Sars-cov-2 virus is very real, BUT so are the following FACTS: 1. Several reputable recent studies have concluded that lockdowns were completely ineffective. 2. Several reputable studies, including a fairly recent one, have concluded that the vast majority of masks used were completely ineffective. 3. Several studies showed that the natural immunity one gained after having Covid-19 was far better and much longer lasting (maybe for life) than the immunity given by the vaccines.
    2
  12082. The British people would like to see Sunak copy France and Germany by banning pro-Palestinian marches, and for him to force the BBC to call Hamas terrorists.
    2
  12083. Well, scaring them shitless about a virus that poses a negligible risk to them isn't going to make them more resilient.😉
    2
  12084. Forever free of Hamas.
    2
  12085. The quickest way to end this war is to remove Putin by whatever means possible!
    2
  12086. Hardly a switch of strategy. War criminal Putin has been attacking critical infrastructure for a long time now. What I can't understand is why Ukraine hasn't discouraged this by mounting some special ops missions deep in Russia to do the same. The best deterrent is knowing that what you do unto others will be done unto you!
    2
  12087.  @Nick7901962  The only one in denial is you. Whether you like it or not Sweden has done better than the vast majority of European countries. Sorry if the truth upsets you.
    2
  12088. ​ @RobReadControlledProjects  Yes Rob I've noticed that most snowflakes will lie shamelessly in order to get others to take these poorly tested vaccines, or wear totally ineffective cloth masks. What these none too bright individuals forget is that a quick internet search easily exposes their lies.
    2
  12089. It also lies a LOT. Please report it every time it does so.
    2
  12090. Unfortunately, YouTube will remove comments supporting the 'Gloves are OFF' policy. These days it seems that YouTube is very quick to censor those who express the same sentiments that many of those brave young men who gave their lives in WW II would have expressed.

    2
  12093. What we have here are the anally retentive saying "rules are rules" rather than looking at the details. It would have mattered if Suella had posted her email on YouTube, because the contents were due to be made public a few hours later.

  12094. Well, at least if they are dead then they won't be able to rape, torture and murder defenseless Ukrainian civilians.

  12095. All well and good, but they would have helped even more if they had been given to Ukraine a couple of months ago!
    2
  12096. Aftermath, my arse. You have no evidence that the two are linked!
    2
  12097. We already have several million people, who are perfectly fit to work, on benefits. This sounds like the medieval practice of trying to cure the patient by blood-letting. How long before the UK bleeds to death?
    2
  12098. Good news. Unfortunately the lies about the necessity and safety of the Covid vaccines have deterred many from getting vaccines that really are necessary and safe.
    2
  12099. But despotic politicians, like stubborn, willful children, insist on denying the now irrefutable evidence that natural immunity is better.
    2
  12100.  @ruthcollins2841  Agreed.

  12101. "I've done nothing wrong" How often have we heard people who are guilty as hell say that?

  12102. Every car that Sadiq Khan forces off the road is a victory for the environment and people's physical and mental health.

  12103. With all those people in Putin's security council being mocked and then publicly humiliated on TV, it's surprising that they didn't get together and put this mad dog down.
    2
  12104. This is too far in the future to worry Putin in the slightest: that's if it ever happens.

  12105. The UN (and the WHO too) is now a bigger joke than the League of Nations was.

  12107. Trench warfare is a war of attrition that massively favours the much larger army. It's like slugging it out with a 20 stone bruiser instead of trying to dance around him and cut his hamstrings. It's new tactics that need to be learned, rather than playing the game that overwhelmingly favours your enemy!
    2
  12108. Let's look at the facts about lockdowns and restrictions. We have had two lockdowns, and in between them we've had restrictions which were often close to lockdowns in all but name. Despite this we still have a high infection rate, and this pattern is repeated in other countries, some of whom have had much more severe restrictions. For anyone who isn't mentally retarded the reason is very clear. These measures simply do not work, and blaming the public for "not following the rules" is a very dishonest cop-out. Now let's look at the WELL KNOWN FACTS about this virus: 1. It only kills about 1 in 1000, and most of those are over 80. 2. Flu has an IFR of about 0.1%, whereas this virus has an IFR of 0.3%. So it's 3 times as deadly as flu. But how many people lose sleep about dying of flu? Also, if one takes age into account the picture changes dramatically. If you are much under 70 then flu poses a bigger risk to you than this corona virus. 3. Finally, despite the government LIES, it has now been irrefutably established that those who have had covid-19, even asymptomatically, DO now have long term immunity. In the UK this is probably around 25%. These people cannot catch covid-19 and they cannot spread it. There is no justifiable reason to restrict their lives in any way! Also, vaccinating them would be like watering your garden after there's been a torrential downpour for the last 24 hours. So, 999 out of 1000 of us are having our lives wrecked for no good reason. If the government genuinely cared about saving lives it would have just focused on isolating the most vulnerable. This is more or less what the Great Barrington Declaration suggested. If government wants to blame anyone for deaths it should blame itself for ignoring this advice.
    2
  12109. It's a good job Nicola stands behind a podium, otherwise everyone would be able to see her regularly wetting her knickers.
    2
  12110. Wrong! If accurate GPS coordinates of the target are known then one does not need to see the target. It's laser guided missiles that must have the target in constant view.
    2
  12111. Am I the only one who sees Putin's public appearance at this rally as a missed opportunity for a sniper or a bomber?
    2
  12112. So, let me get this right. Someone very quickly gets a lengthy jail sentence for simply making a social media post, but REAL criminals are being spared jail. I wonder which group most people would rather see jailed?

  12113. Yep, that sums it up perfectly, And at the moment mummy has to regularly change the pants that he's wetting.

  12114.  @shirleyquinn7001  Trudeau already has serious mental health issues!
    2
  12115. Australia, the rest of the world is laughing at you! In England we currently see around 100 times as many cases each day and Boris knows he would be putting his life on the line if he introduced lockdowns because of this. The same is true of many other countries. You guys are now behaving even worse than the whinging Poms that you despise.
    2
  12116. ​ @MrLeadb1  Sorry to disappoint you, but I never wore a mask or paid any attention to the PANICdemic scaremongering. Nor did I take the vaccine.
    2
  12117. ​ @robricketts340  Sorry to disappoint you, but my mum died over 10 years ago. Now, why don't you remove this comment, like MrLeadb did when I told him I never wore a mask or took a Covid vaccine.

  12118. We need less talk about bringing down this bridge and more action. For Putin this bridge is so significant personally, that its destruction might just possibly topple him. Does Zelensky not realise this?
    2
  12119. @Jackfrost Aren't there plenty of uninhabited ones?
    2
  12120. If this idiot minister was working properly then he would be sitting down with the unions!
    2
  12121. Just think. All this might end tomorrow if only some Russian who loved his country, and its children, put a bullet through the heads of Putin and his so-called "strong men".
    2
  12122. I think the "foreign mercenaries base" gives the game away. As for the fireworks, it's probably a kindergarten or maternity hospital being blown up.
    2
  12123. Yes. For the victim, so called low level crime cam be incredibly traumatizing.
    2
  12124. Iranian Ayatollahs next?

  12125. Most people today don't know they're born. People like me had to manage mortgages whose interest rate hovered around 10% give or take just a couple either way.

  12126. Harry isn't "just some man". He's just a spoiled whinging boy.
    2
  12127. If a coup does come it will be very sudden and completely out of the blue, because anyone seen as posing the slightest risk to Putin tends to end up falling out a window, or with Polonium in their tea. The cleanest solution to Russia's woes would be a few bullets in the heads of Putin and his so-called "strong men".
    2
  12128. Two very naughty words that governments and scaremonger don't want to hear.
    2
  12129. Another crying Putin rent boy.
    2
  12130. If Starmer had called for a freeze on covid lockdowns and restrictions, instead of staunchly supporting No.10, in the face of fierce Tory backbench opposition, then we wouldn't now be in this mess!
    2
  12131. Many EU countries have coal, so why not buy from them?
    2
  12132. Putin probably wants something spectacular in the next few days. Hopefully he will see a spectacular number of Orcs slaughtered.
    2
  12133. And you know the cause of a lot of these deaths? It's because Hamas are cowards who use women and children as Human shields. Israel does its best to only target Hamas. But Hamas is only too happy to launch rockets against innocent Israeli civilians. And let's not forget who launched the first rockets. One thing this conflict has exposed in other countries, like the UK, is the vast number of Neo Nazi Anti-Semites.
    2
  12134. If Russian soldiers had any sense far more would be rushing to surrender, because they are far safer as POWs of the Ukrainians.
    2
  12135. Same as they do now. They wet their bed every night.
    2
  12136.  @frankrenda2519  Learn some history. Many in Chechnya do not want to be part of Russia.
    2
  12137. Like when YouTube removes or hides anti-Putin comments.
    2
  12138. Time to remind people, once again, just how innocuous this virus is. Taking a totally random sample of the population, the chance of a selected individual being killed by this virus is only about 1 in 1000. However, unless that person is BOTH over 80 and in poor health, then the chance of them dying is much smaller, probably less than 1 in 100000. The vast majority of people are exceedingly more likely to die from something else! People need to stop living in fear of this virus, they need to start enjoying life again. Government and SAGE are scaremongers and liars: just ignore them.
    2
  12139. Am I the only one who thinks that making a horse stand still four hours is serious animal cruelty?
    2
  12140. Now I know the voice behind the Robot that keeps repeating "danger Will Robinson".
    2
  12141. Let's look at it this way. The government has mandated a 6.5% rise for those on minimum wage. Yet these people get 2.5 times as much as an OAP on the state pension. Also OAP's fuel bills are going through the roof and food prices are shooting up too. Given all this, no honest decent government would renege on the "triple lock". But then we don't have an honest decent government. We have self-serving ministers drowning in their own sleaze. Do people realise that Britain's treatment of it's old people is one of the meanest in the developed world? As for getting work, age discrimination is endemic in Britain. It may be illegal but both the government and courts turn a blind eye to it. Never mind OAPs people in the UK are thrown on the scrap heap well before they reach retirement age.
    2
  12142. Repeat after me: "mRNA vaccines are 100% safe, and only crackpots say they aren't". Now, didn't that make you feel better about getting jabbed? OK, not as good as I feel about not getting jabbed.
    2
  12143. I thought the Germans had sent Ukraine all the helmets they would ever need.
    2
  12144. I'd give Putin the people they wanted, BUT I'd first inject (or put in their food) some slow acting poison that would definitely kill them, but take a few weeks to kick in.
    2
  12145. Muslim dudes, if you REALLY believe in Allah don't you think he will protect his faithful for praying to him and worshipping him. Or maybe you are true believers.
    2
  12146. Would you believe it? YouTube removed a comment and gave me a warning for saying that it would be easier for Putin to become late (as in Hitchhiker's Guide) than for Britain to sink.
    2
  12147. In the UK instead of the short-sighted approach of waiting for low reservoirs we should have permanent hosepipe bans. Nobody needs to water their lawn or wash a car that they probably shouldn't have anyway.
    2
  12148. Both Putin and Emperor Xi are drawing inspiration from Afghanistan. Unfortunately for Putin, unlike Afghani men who are cowards, Ukrainian men are prepared to fight very hard for the future of their women and children: as too are many Ukrainian women. Around 200,000 Orcs have been killed so far, and the attrition rate is increasing. Let's see how much longer Russian mums and dads are prepared to watch their Orclings being fed to the meat grinder.
    2
  12149. The reason the chamber is almost empty is that most MPs fully supported these very poorly tested "vaccines" and don't want to face the music: or rapturous cheering from the public gallery. But if you had told parents that a vaccine was extremely safe, and would really benefit their children, would you want them to learn that they had been totally lied to?
    2
  12150. Decent Iranians and North Koreans please note. Foreign mercenaries might well be the answer to your problems.
    2
  12151. If his past record is anything to go by this will be profound suffering for millions of poor OAPs.
    2
  12152. The supreme irony is that he should, like Maggie would have, ignored his wets and never introduced lockdowns, in which case he would still be PM. Moreover, since several recent studies have shown that lockdowns were completely useless, he would now be hailed as a hero for not bottling it, and destroying the UK's economy and NHS.
    2
  12153. Rural Russians remind me of the inbreds in the film Deliverance. "Squeal like a pig boy" as you die for Putin's ego.
    2
  12154. This is what the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, said right from the start, and repeated a few months later in the Great Barrington Declaration. There ought to be LONG jail sentences for those in are government who ignored these experts and visited such terrible damage on this country and its people.
    2
  12155. Rabid animals like this don't need anger management counseling, by wokes, they should be put down!
    2
  12156. Well this will bring back nostalgic memories for the older French. That oh so nice SS or Gestapo officer saying "deine Papiere, bitte". If I recall Macron has previously called for having a pan-European army. I wonder how a moustache will suit him.
    2
  12157. The REAL answer is incredibly simple. Nationalise all energy produces in the UK, and UK territorial waters, without compensation. Then sell the energy at cost. Only a few rich bastards will object, and it will be just punishment for the boundless greed of these companies, and their total disregard for the welfare of most people and the country.
    2
  12158. Very happy to see that some of the pigs appear to have got roasted along with their tanks.
    2
  12159. On the plus side, think of it as idiots wearing a T-shirt saying "I'm really stupid". It's now much easier to spot a lot of them.
    2
  12160. Oh for the good old days of the 747 that we all felt very safe in. What's that old saying about "if it ain't broke"?
    2
  12161. Actually, it was a special operation to light up the bridge for Putin's birthday.🤣🤣🤣
    2
  12162. So are those judges in the European Court of Human rights going to just sit there and do nothing? If this court wants to have any credibility then it needs to rule this illegal, with the utmost urgency. US courts would instantly strike down such legislation, but if they didn't there would be bloody riots on the streets. Austria is well and truly going back to the 1930s and 1940s. This will send cold shudders down the spine of those old enough to have lived through those times.
    2
  12163.  @Flamingtorpedostrike  Another one with half a tree on their shoulder.
    2
  12164. Thank them by not pausing the counter-offensive over the winter, and throwing away all the gains won at incredible cost: like you did last winter.
    2
  12165. Well done for not being brainwashed. All the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated (or offered a vaccine), except for a tiny, tiny fraction who can't be. For almost everyone in the UK who now catches covid-19 it's going to be probably less bother than a bad cold. Life can't be put on hold for those who refuse a vaccine or the miniscule percentage who can't have it. Over 5 times as many people are now dying or ending up in hospital due to road accidents, but I don't see the morons in Downing Street rushing to ban driving.
    2
  12166. There was no such thing as illegal immigration in 1868. This law will only apply to those born to someone who is illegally in the country, and as such is long overdue.
    2
  12167. No matter what area it's in, everybody hates a free loader.
    2
  12168. Nigel would need to do it with a new party like Reform. If he associates with the Tories or Labour then he will lose all credibility.
    2
  12169. It's hard to believe that Russians still can't see what a demented psychopath Putin is, and how much better things would be for Russia if he and his so-called "strong men" were "removed".
    2
  12170.  @Katoshi_Takagumi  Sounds about right.
    2
  12171. Of course it's a cover-up, because that's what this farce of an "inquiry" was planned to be before it even started. The first two most important questions for a genuine inquiry would be: 1. Were the insanely damaging lockdowns even necessary or effective? 2. Given how Covid posed a serious threat to well under 1% of the population, and that natural immunity after contracting it was excellent, should most people have been given a poorly tested vaccine?
    2
  12172. The rabid animals that make up the Taliban are getting impatient about overrunning Afghanistan. Once the US and Nato are gone these evil fanatics will quickly depose the government, and all the women in Taliban will then have less rights than livestock. The US and Nato should have been given carte blanche to exterminate the Taliban by whatever means necessary. Instead we put a decent, brave Royal Marines commando on trial for ridding the world of some of these rabid animals.
    2
  12173. Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD. The only threat it poses is to the big pharma share prices, when it spreads herd immunity. Those who have Omicron and aren't very sick, which might well be all of them, should be required to go to work. Absence problem solved!
    2
  12174. Lots of poor pensioners use their bus passes to shop further afield at cheaper supermarkets!
    2
  12175. If Zelensky has even a shred of intelligence he will immediately make the best possible use of the long-range missiles he's got, because Trump probably won't give him any more.
    2
  12176. ​ @jamesbyrne4072  Well, now there's nothing to lose, and a lot to gain, by ignoring that veto.
    2
  12177. Only in Britain could we have a deputy PM who hasn't even got a CSE to her name. To call this woman thick would be offensive to thick people.
    2
  12178. I wonder how many of them do drugs instead?
    2
  12179. Yes. everyone did underestimate Putin, myself included. We vastly underestimated just who insane he is!
    2
  12180. We mustn't lose sight of the very obvious fact that Emperor Xi is extremely keen to see Western resolve and unity crumble in regard to Ukraine. Because this would then give him the green light for his invasion of Taiwan.
    2
  12181. Almost all that we have endured has been simply to pacify the bed wetting snowflakes who are stupid enough to believe the scaremongers. A recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that, very far from 150,000, just 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19: and almost all were over 65. Well over 99% of the population have needlessly had their lives screwed up for the sake of less than 1%. This is a totally insane way of doing things. Old sick people die. And when a new virus comes along a few more of them die a little bit earlier. People need to accept this.

  12182. This encampment is ILLEGAL, but once again our police are deciding what laws they want to enforce.
    2
  12183. Isn't it thoughtful of the Russian MoD to supply so many A film quality shots of its military. Well, that's until it comes to showing credible targets being hit, when we see no shots whatsoever. Maybe there should be credits at the end saying something like "Made at Pinewood Studios".🤣🤣🤣
    2
  12184. Am I the only one who thinks it's totally insane to turn a flight back because one passenger isn't wearing a mask?
    2
  12185. My God, those Russians come down heavy on the local fox and rabbit population.
    2
  12186. ​ @michaelcleary5205  Actually Russia initially did a deal with the Nazis to divide Poland. I should know as my father was put in a Russian Labour camp for crossing from German occupied Poland to Russian occupied Poland. Russia only started fighting against the Nazis after Hitler turned on Stalin. Now get this comment deleted because you can't face the truth.
    2
  12187. This is why it's so important for Ukraine to keep up the fight. As Psycho Putin uses more of those who never signed up to be soldiers as cannon fodder, more and more mums and dads, grannies and granddads are going to turn against this insane psychopath who is butchering their children and grandchildren.
    2
  12188. Ah, but those countries that are tardy have no honour!
    2
  12189. Isn't it wonderful to watch the humiliation being piled on Putin.
    2
  12190.  @andrewoliver8930  I think everyone does.
    2
  12191. Am I the only one who is really annoyed at police turning a blind eye to people who cycle on the pavement. This is a dangerous and highly antisocial practice. If I'm not mistaken the police can confiscate the bike for this, in the same way that they can confiscate illegal e-scooters. A few well publicised confiscations would soon put a stop to this growing menace.
    2
  12192.  @ygtcv7675  Come to Enfield and you will change your mind.
    2
  12193. If Putin is "ramping up" his slaughter of civilians then we need to ramp up the quality and quantity of weapons supplied to Ukraine. In particular we need to supply Ukraine with missiles that can strike the sites from where these murderous attacks are being launched: even if they are well inside Russia. This needs to be done very quickly!
    2
  12194. Or a very frightened bed wetter.
    2
  12195. If these Russians want to be welcomed in Georgia they should be prepared to help Georgia take back that 20% of its land that Russia stole from it!
    2
  12196. Over 10 years 650,000 actually sounds on the low side. Better a person loses their license than kills or injures themselves and others.
    2
  12197. With Ukraine's limited manpower this isn't a good strategy. It certainly won't make Putin negotiate as delivering a substantial victory is now existential for him. Ukraine needs to use its incursion to inflict as much damage as possible on Russia's infrastructure and then get the hell out: maybe to repeat the exercise elsewhere. Once this becomes a numbers game Russia is massively favoured!
    2
  12198.  @KX5Kat  Says someone who is probably like a rabbit constantly in heat.
    2
  12199. Bakhmut has been really great for Ukraine in terms of Orc eradication. For every brave Ukrainian killed between 5 and 7 Orcs have been eradicated.
    2
  12200. Time and time again Hamas steals the food and medical supplies destined the people they profess to be fighting for. Yet all the pro-Palestinian protestors never criticise Hamas for doing this. Funny, that.
    2
  12201. Who could replace Gavin Williamson, a man with non-descript A-levels and a sociology degree from a second rate university? Surely some village must still have an idiot that they wouldn't miss.
    2
  12202. Looks like a bunch of far-left thugs to me.
    2
  12203. Alex, I'm now 66. Over many years there's one constant I've observed time and time again. Us "far-right scum" respect the democratic process and free speech, and are prepared to let others have their say no matter how distasteful we find it. In stark contrast, the left has always tried to suppress those who don't share their opinions expressing their views.
    2
  12204. Well, knowing that you are fighting, and dying, just to bolster a deranged psychopath's ego, rather than defend your country, isn't good for moral.
    2
  12205. Well that's what happens when you elect politicians who could easily be the kingpins of gangs in high security prisons.
    2
  12206. My heart felt congratulations to Ukraine for removing another mad dog from the world.
    2
  12207.  @georgianash6635  Did it ever occur to man haters like you that people like me might just be right?
    2
  12208. Boris became a lame duck as soon as he listened to Witless Whitty, and the other bed-wetters, and instituted lockdowns, instead of following Sweden's example. However, all those who would like to take his place are as bad, if not worse.
    2
  12209. Let's all have a sing along: If you've a dick and not a fanny you're a man, If you've a dick and not a fanny you're a man, You can chop it off or hide it, Chop it off or hide it, But it doesn't change the fact that you're a man.
    2
  12210. Waiting for Putin to blame Ukraine and the West for doing rain dances.
    2
  12211. Plenty more weapons on the way. Let's see how good the pigs are at keeping the areas they have invaded.
    2
  12212. Only a vicious, deranged psychopath like Putin could imagine that what he is doing would do anything other than strengthen the resolve of Ukrainians not to be ruled by him.
    2
  12213. The trouble is that most mainstream multimedia, including YouTube, is hell bent on helping government cover up.
    2
  12214. There are only two things Boris should apologise for: 1. Having the insanely damaging lockdowns, that the REAL experts warned against, and that have subsequently been shown to have been completely ineffective. 2. Having most people vaccinated, with vaccines that had not undergone the usual minimum of 3 to 4 years safety trials. Covid had an IFR of just 0.3% or less, and those who had had it gained excellent long lasting natural immunity that was far better. Medical ethics is very clear that blanket vaccination in such circumstances should not be carried out.
    2
  12215. Does anyone really expect MPs to encourage research into these deaths when there's a good chance it could reveal that they are down to a policy of encouragement and coercion that the vast majority of them supported? I'd like to be more explicit, but the YouTube bots would pickup my comment and delete it.
    2
  12216. Yet we are still being forced to pay a license to fund this bigotry. A pledge to end public funding of the BBC would win a lot of votes!
    2
  12217. The police not arresting them, and the courts just giving them a slap on the wrist. Hell, even when they are filmed in the act of stealing the TV broadcasters obscure their faces.
    2
  12218. Germany has already sent plenty of helmets. What's needed, AT THE FRONT LINE, are really good SAMs, drones, and anti-tank missiles. And they are needed NOW, not in two weeks time!
    2
  12219. What a truly pathetic country Australia has become. It's now full of two-legged bleating sheep, frightened of a virus that isn't that bigger deal, and never was. Every whining Aussie who expresses ill will towards Novak further lowers the already rock bottom respect that the rest of the world has for Australia and its inmates.
    2
  12220. The thing is, does the world really want to discover that China engineered this virus? If this turned out to be the case is there anything the rest of the world could really do about it? Also, although there are treaties banning it, what makes us so sure that other countries aren't secretly working on the same kind of thing?
    2
  12221.  @patricktate4782  The big problem with almost all wars is that while one side might win the war, both sides end up far worse off than before the war started.
    2
  12222. Here are three FACTS we ought to keep our eyes on: 1. This is a virus that kills well under 1% 2. Most people shrug it off more easily than a bad cold. 3. Those who have had covid-19 now have natural immunity that is excellent, and may well last a lifetime. Still feel like getting jabbed with a vaccine that we simply cannot know the long term effects of?
    2
  12223.  @shropshirewoodsman3222  So you claim to be a freeloader who voted for reform.
    2
  12224. Meanwhile, illegal migrants are being kept toasty warm, and well fed, in plush hotels.
    2
  12225. As Poland takes a strong stand on immigration Labour would probably welcome that.
    2
  12226. As I keep saying, these kind of negotiations should be recorded and made available online for all to see. Then everyone could judge for themselves how they had gone, and who was to blame if they went badly.
    2
  12227. For a virus that posed no threat to young people, a very tiny one to most of their teachers, and hardly any threat to over 99% of the population in general, lockdowns have buggered young people's education and mental health to hell. And the damage is ongoing. Lockdowns have encouraged an army of cowboys to offer online tuition. This is vastly inferior to in person teaching, but to save money, and the hassle of going to a tutor, most have swapped to this. Next summer, after 3 years of exams being given away, kids will have to take proper ones. A great many will then discover that paying the online cowboys was an incredibly bad investment in time and money!
    2
  12228.  @stevebbuk  YOU are the one that needs a dose of reality.
    2
  12229. And this is a Putin fanboy.
    2
  12230. Guaranteed, unless parents are prepared to fight to defend their children. But then they didn't fight to defend their kids' education, so it's not looking good for kids.
    2
  12231. Yes the scientific evidence is clear. The worst case scenario predicts only 40 deaths a day, if June 21 goes ahead. Compare this with the average of 69 people who die, or are seriously injured, on our roads everyday. For a party that's meant to care passionately about the workers, this woman doesn't seem to give a toss about the many thousands of jobs that will be lost if June 21 is cancelled. And let's not forget the many doctors who are pleading for June 21 to go ahead, because of the many more lives that will otherwise be lost, due to missed checkups and procedures.
    2
  12232. This is indeed very sad, but please don't let the scaremongers frighten you. Probability theory dictates that when large numbers are involved you are guaranteed cases like this. Think of national lotteries. Your chance of winning is to all intents and purposes negligible, yet every week somebody wins. It's exactly the same with covid-19. The chance of a child dying from this is very, very small. Your kid is more likely to die in a traffic accident. Don't let those peddling fear ruin your life, or that of your children.
    2
  12233. Dude, maybe Australia was a democratic country until a couple of years ago. The truth that students now need to understand is that Australia has Nazi dictators, and a Gestapo police force that enforces their will.
    2
  12234. "Russia told". I'm sure Russia has also been told not to rape teenage girls and torture and murder their fathers and brothers. How did that go?
    2
  12235. Hopefully whatever they took out had a few Orcs in it.
    2
  12236. What on earth possesses anyone to go and stay in Putin's Russia? It's like choosing to play blind man's buff in a minefield.
    2
  12237. Let's cut to the chase. Since his inauguration Trump has been played by Putin like a 61tch in heat.
    2
  12238. BEFORE giving scroungers and parasites, who have never done a proper day's work in their lives, a rise, spare a thought for the OAPs. Most of them worked their entire lives, and paid taxes towards a pension they could live on. Yet, instead of getting their "triple lock" rise, which would merely have allowed them to keep up with inflation, Rich Boy Sunak only gave them a third of it. This needs to be fixed.
    2
  12239. Well, people who change their names often do so for nefarious reasons, don't they Marlene Headley.
    2
  12240. As others have said, it looks to me like Hu was forced to leave. Did he object to giving Xi a third term?
    2
  12241. No, f*ck up Christmas so that people don't discover the government's lies about natural immunity and lose their fear. That's what terrifies Downing Street!
    2
  12242. Well it would be a lot easier if the bed wetters in Germany hadn't turned off all their nuclear power stations. Perhaps they could put on some nappies and start them up again.
    2
  12243. This just goes to show that intelligence isn't a prerequisite for founding a business. The solution is to get rid of ALL restrictions, not impose more.
    2
  12244. Putin apparently has super opulent palace. It would be really good if this were levelled.
    2
  12245. Let's be honest. For most people under 40, or maybe even older, covid-19 is no big deal. So we are not vaccinating them for their own benefit, but typically for the benefit of people who are over 80. As none of these vaccines are 100% safe this runs counter to medical ethics, but we seem to have burnt the book on that, and scattered it's ashes. There will also be plenty of health workers who have recovered from covid-19. These people now have excellent natural immunity, and gain absolutely nothing from being vaccinated: they are just put at unnecessary risk, no matter how small that might be.
    2
  12246. Not taking a very poorly tested "vaccine" for something that posed a negligible risk to most people was a no-brainer!
    2
  12247. ​ @DSan-kl2yc  I'm not suggesting that Ukraine should do the same as Russia, and murder civilians. However there are lots of sparkling office buildings in Moscow, and infrastructure, that could be taken out at night, with minimal or no civilian casualties.
    2
  12248. There is no such thing as positive discrimination. Any form of discrimination discriminates AGAINST some people.
    2
  12249. No mention of those peaceful and defenseless protestors injured by the Gestapo's pepper spray, teargas, rubber bullets, and a good old fashioned kicking.
    2
  12250. Mind you, at the rate Sunak is letting them in we would probably be exporting to mainland Europe if we were still in the EU.
    2
  12251. Do we really care that some deranged psychopath is declaring some regions are now part of Russia. This is as comical as getting himself crowned tsar would be.
    2
  12252. Like so many, my trust in the police has plummeted, due to the appalling manner in which so many of them have behaved during this pandemic. Many have behaved like Gestapo officers, more interested in persecuting innocent people than going after real criminals.
    2
  12253. Would these students also support white-only clubs?
    2
  12254. Maybe if the RAF jet had been hit NATO would have joined the party and wiped out Putin's Orcs in Ukraine: including Crimea.
    2
  12255. Is that Witkoff or Witless?
    2
  12256. Well this is exactly what those of us who are honest said would happen. When NATO and the US went in to Afghanistan years ago they should have been given a free hand (no Geneva Convention) to exterminate these rabid animals by any means necessary. Now watch what they do to people who don't share their insane ideology!
    2
  12257. This is the truth that so many woke people don't want to hear.
    2
  12258. Like all spineless, abject, cowards all we will ever get from Sunak is empty words. He reminds me of an 60's toy, by being the very opposite: Inaction Man. Though maybe I'm being a bit generous by using the word "man".
    2
  12259. Let's put it this way. Many of them, as well as those lawyers helping them stay aren't a whiter shade of pale!
    2
  12260. I see my comment suggesting that they aren't WASPs was deleted by YouTube.
    2
  12261. And Sunak's useless PPE degree most certainly isn't either!
    2
  12262. Better still Neil Ferguson and Witless Whitty should be made to chew each others off.
    2
  12263. That would be because he is a megalomaniac who isn't playing with a full pack.
    2
  12264. One thing is for sure. Facial hair is for monkeys, not 007.
    2
  12265. They Alpha, Beta and Gamma went on holiday to Xanadu. Expect a variant of that name coming to a screen near you soon.
    2
  12266. I wonder how many would like to see Paula Vennells go to jail? I was a top-notch software developer for over 20 years, so I know what I'm talking about. When a large system goes live there are ALWAYS problems with it. The DEFAULT assumption should have been a fault with Horizon, rather than automatically assuming that 100s of postmasters were committing fraud. For the incredible harm and suffering Vennells caused to these people, she richly deserves to be sharing a cosy cell with big butch Bertha!
    2
  12267. Russia is probably selling that grain at highly inflated prices to the Putin fan boys who support his atrocities.
    2
  12268. Labour is desperate that people not discover how incredibly unpopular they are now, and just how popular Reform UK is.
    2
  12269. MAN UP!
    2
  12270. Like not jailing people who tweet something in the heat of the moment?
    2
  12271. It's not a matter of fining them, just making them pay for rescues that they brought on themselves. People rescued in the Alps have had to pay the cost for many decades.
    2
  12272. I think we are now seeing the beginning of the end for Psycho Putin, and I doubt that he will still be in power by Christmas.
    2
  12273. Well Pakistan is a predominantly Muslim country. Perhaps its Mullahs need to issue a fatwa on Putin, accompanied by an addition to the million dollar bounty that's already on his head.
    2
  12274. If we were a decent society that cared about our young people then schools and universities would have carried on as normal, and the vast majority of young people would never have been given an experimental vaccine. But the selfish cowards won the day. No wonder Putin felt emboldened to attack Ukraine.
    2
  12275. Oh look. A crying Putin rent boy.
    2
  12276. I've always said Harry was a whinging mummy's boy.
    2
  12277. Just boot Hungary, and its Putin rent boy, out of the EU and give the aid to Ukraine. Nobody will object to getting rid of Hungary!
    2
  12278. Two-tier justice is injustice! Those who worked hard, paid their taxes, and contributed to this country are now second-class citizens.
    2
  12279. Armenia knows that if Putin wins in Ukraine then they are also on Putin's shopping list. They also know, after Syria, that Russia is now too weak to open a second front against them.
    2
  12280. MOST of them aren't genuinely sick!
    2
  12281. Let's think this through. Who has the most to gain by striking a hospital? Israel gains nothing by striking a non-military target full of sick people. However, Hamas gains a lot if they can convince the Palestinians, and the rest of the world, that Israel did it: and they have very clearly demonstrated a total disregard for innocent lives. Killing your own people and blaming the other side is a tried and tested strategy that we have also seen Putin adopt several times. Is anyone really naive enough to think Hamas wouldn't do something like this?
    2
  12282. TTK is very quick to punish those who offend his sensibilities: very harshly.
    2
  12283. You've got to ask yourself what kind of men (I use the word very loosely) just sit by and see their wives, daughters and sisters robbed of their education and future. No wonder America withdrew from Afghanistan, and rightly so. Why should American men lose their lives fighting for cowardly men that won't stand up for their own families?
    2
  12284. Aha, that would be the millions of desperately poor OAPs that Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". They will now get a rise well below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING their rightful rise from them most would still have been very hard pressed. I wonder how many people realise that, despite being one of the world's richest countries, the UK state pension is one of the meanest.
    2
  12285. The trouble is we can't get a quick divorce, and Labour can do a phenomenal amount of damage in five years.
    2
  12286. I'm 64, haven't had any vaccine, claim mask exemption, and not even slightly stressed. I regularly go shopping and use the buses. These teachers need to MAN UP and not take time off unless they genuinely can't get out of bed.
    2
  12287.  @craigsproston7378  Damn straight I'm saying most should go in and teach with covid-19. With Omicron they are unlikely to even feel as bad as if they had a MILD cold. When I taught in the classroom I went in even when I was feeling quite rough, rather than let my students down. But, then I'm not a snowflake, totally lacking in integrity and backbone.
    2
  12288. Folks, Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED millions of poor pensioners out of the rise that they were entitled to under the triple lock. If he genuinely intended to do what he's now saying he would have admitted that what he did to OAPs was wrong and promise to reverse it.
    2
  12289. J’espère que l’Iran sera assez stupide pour attaquer Israël, car j’attends avec impatience la réponse d’Israël.
    2
  12290.  @daveo3122  Yes, looking at those who were infected by sars-cov-1, all those years ago, strongly suggests that those who have had covid-19 will have lifelong immunity, and probably against any variant too. But this isn't the message most governments want people to hear.
    2
  12291. Has this so-called professor even glanced at the Israeli and Cleveland studies, and a more recent one by Harvard? Many millions of people now have PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that is vastly better than vaccination. Why should they be COERCED into taking poorly tested vaccines that will do them no good whatsoever?
    2
  12292. When I used to work as a software engineer a lot of employers had started to use professionally designed tests to catch out the liars. I got 95% on one such C++ test, and the job. I was told later that most of the self proclaimed experts got around 30%!
    2
  12293. A triumph for integrity and common sense. Anymore honest judges out there?
    2
  12294. It's deeply disturbing how inside so many police men and woman there is a Gestapo officer desperately straining to come out and strut his stuff. Plenty of peaceful protests have been broken up by the UK's Gestapo, and he same has happened in so many other supposedly free countries.
    2
  12295. It would also greatly help if the vast majority of politicians weren't more scientifically illiterate, and innumerate, than most Y11 students. Is it any wonder the country is in such a mess when one looks at all those humanity degrees: totally inappropriate for running a country.
    2
  12296. If Modi was in charge in 1939 then India would be buying "lampshades" from Nazi Germany!
    2
  12297. I voted Reform UK, but let's be realistic. Labour has a large majority of seats, so it can more or less do as it pleases for the next 5 years.
    2
  12298. There are lots of American, British and Polish fighter pilots eager to actually fly their jets over Ukraine to keep its skies Orc free.
    2
  12299. No he didn't! Taking something that hasn't undergone anywhere near the usual 3 to 4 years safety trials, for a virus that posed a negligible threat to the vast majority, is exceedingly stupid.
    2
  12300. Of course these councilors are still in position. Someone needs to run the "how to set up a white girl grooming gang" helpline.
    2
  12301. Starmer should sack himself! Labour WOULD have done a lot better if he hadn't supported the government's insane lockdowns that crucified the working-class, whom Labour is supposed to care passionately about.
    2
  12302. The REAL scandal is that, for a virus that posed no serious threat to over 99% of the population, we ever had lockdowns and restrictions. Also, the vast majority of people were COERCED into having a rushed through vaccine that they absolutely did not need.
    2
  12303. There's a new video of a doctor describing how she actually watched Hamas use Palestinian CHILDREN as human shields. But the anti-Semitic pro-Hamas supporters will deny this is happening no matter how strong the evidence is.
    2
  12304. Watch out for your daughters!
    2
  12305. I wonder how Russian mums, dads and wives would react to the prospect of their men being sent off to die in Putin's "special operation".
    2
  12306. Don't many other countries have automatic deportation for foreigners who commit an impressionable offence? Doing this seems like a no-brainer. Ah, but what if most cabinet ministers have no brain.
    2
  12307. There's been hard evidence about how very good natural immunity is from well before the first vaccines were needlessly administered to so many people.
    2
  12308. Helicopters taking out jets in mid air. Is Russia doing a remake of Air Wolf?
    2
  12309. Or to call him by his well known nickname, Worm Tongue.
    2
  12310. The best current knowledge about Omicron characterises it as highly transmissible but EXTEMELY MILD. Anyone but a complete idiot (or tyrant) would welcome this as really good news. We now have a variant that's likely to quickly displace more dangerous variants. But the news is even better. This variant might quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. It offers the very real prospect of lasting herd immunity, which vaccines have spectacularly failed to provide. Rather than trying to stop the spread of this variant, Omicron parties might be a far more sensible approach.
    2
  12311. My uncle would have paid good money for VHS tapes of the Black and White Minstrel Show, as would many other people. But I suspected that the BBC sent someone down to the vaults to flagellate themselves and then burn the archives.
    2
  12312. Patrick, those of us who weren't brainless bed-wetters have been saying this from the very start. Sars-cov-2 is a virus that poses a serious threat to well under 1% of the population, and those who have had it gain excellent natural immunity, that is far better than what you get from the dodgy vaccines that were rushed through without proper testing. Even at nearly 65 I never bothered with masks or vaccines, and didn't think twice about using crowded shops or buses. But then I listed to the REAL experts, who subsequently drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. From the start they advised that ONLY the most vulnerable should isolate, until natural herd immunity was established, They were spot on!
    2
  12313. Putin doesn't care about Russian lives anymore than he does about those of the Ukrainian women and children he enjoys murdering.
    2
  12314. The judge too is a beast!
    2
  12315. The Russian troops now know three key facts that Putin was able to hide from them up to now: 1. The pretext for invading Ukraine was a complete lie. There was no threat to Russia, and so they are not dying to save the motherland. 2. Vastly more Russians have died than Putin has said. 3. Putin doesn't actually have that much support.
    2
  12316. The biggest not telling people that sars-cov-2 only ever posed a serious threat to WELL UNDER 1% of the population!
    2
  12317. Maybe Brits don't have that much to be proud of. We certainly can't be proud of our totally dishonest and corrupt cabinet, or the vast majority of self-serving MPs, who don't give a damn about those who elected them. If I were inclined to fly a flag it would be the Swedish one, in recognition of the only country that handled this pandemic properly.
    2
  12318. This is precisely why Trump is going to win the presidency. Anyone who could convince the UK voters that they would end illegal immigration here would also win our next general election. The same is probably true in most civilized countries, that don't want their values and lifestyle trampled on.

  12319. Hey if you want a good example of screwing your customers just look at WH Smiths who only offer students the inferior Casio fx-CG50 and not the vastly superior Texas Instruments TI-nspire CX II-T.

  12320. Another escape from a Chinese lab?
    2
  12321. Post Office executives that knew about Horizon problems, but covered up this information, perverted the course of justice. This is a serious crime, for which they should go to jail rather than get bonuses. INNOCENT people went to jail because of these GUILTY people. Let's see some justice for a change for a change.
    2
  12322. What kind of sick government doesn't prosecute for this? As well as being a serious crime it endangers the lives of patients. People with loved ones who are sick should be very worried about them being "treated" by unqualified doctors and nurses. These 700+ should be IMMEDIATELY deported!
    2
  12323. There's a quick and easy solution. Just kick Northern Ireland out of the UK. Let's have a vote and see whether the rest of the UK wants to keep Northern Ireland.
    2
  12324. Perhaps it's time for NATO to accept an invitation from an independent country defending itself against marauding Orcs. This is quite in accordance with international law, and Putin is now far too stretched to open up other fronts, as it's not as if mobilisation is an option. Let's make this coming battle a lot less heavy for Ukraine.
    2
  12325. Exactly. If Ukraine had the means to do this then why wouldn't it have used those resources on a much more worthy target? This was an unused pipeline, so it would have been better to have gone after one being fully utilised. Alternatively, taking out the seafloor foundations of the Kerch bridge would have also made a much more worthwhile target. This sounds just like the same kind of nonsense Russia was previously spouting about Ukraine developing biological weapons.
    2
  12326. I try hard to control my laughter every time I hear talk about Russian retaliation. Is anyone really stupid enough to think that Putin has been holding back in the slightest since his invasion of Ukraine?
    2
  12327. Reminds me of Gordon Brown. If he was handing you a fiver with one hand his other hand would be lifting your wallet at the same time.
    2
  12328. Sadly, most soldiers are like the sheep that believed all the covid-19 scaremongering and did exactly what their governments told them to, without question. But in their case it's even worse, because if only a few lay down their arms they will be shot: few want to be the first to test out the general mood.
    2
  12329. After reading this we can now expect deafening whining from the UK's snowflake teachers who want to abuse our young people further by making them continue to wear masks.
    2
  12330. Not pointless at all. Its intended purpose has always been to exonerate the guilty.
    2
  12331. That's what those of us who aren't brainwashed snowflakes have been saying.
    2
  12332. Translation: Full force of the law = ineffective deradicalisation program, paid for by us taxpayers.
    2
  12333. Those who dig through my earlier YouTube posts will see that I predicted exactly this almost as soon as mRNA vaccines were rolled out. Type I Diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking cells in the pancreas. I suggested that the mRNA might lodge in just about any of the body's cells and that Diabetes would be but one of several undesirable outcomes. Of course, people just dismissed me as a nutty conspiracy theorist.
    2
  12334. I guess with so many oil facilities being blown up Putin can no longer let Modi have it at a heavy discount. Also, I doubt being good buddies with an extreme fundamentalist Muslim regime is very endearing to a staunch Hindu.
    2
  12335. But not as insane as the judge!

  12336. Very fair and reasonable demands. Everyone who values freedom and liberty wholeheartedly supports the truckers.
    2
  12337. Deport as many as possible on both sides!
    2
  12338. Dudes and Dudettes, chill! If people weren't infected with the Delta variant then you can bet your ass they would be infected with another strain of this virus. There's no evidence that the Delta variant is any more deadly. So do remember that this is a virus that kills less than 1%, and to be in that group you generally have to be seriously old and/or very sick. Nothing to fear but fear itself: and bent politicians who are trying to frighten you.
    2
  12339. We already have a massive shortage of GPs. Government propaganda vilifying them won't work. The only way to get them to work longer hours is to equitably reward that work.
    2
  12340. Well the masses need to be (really) dumb if people like Johnson and Starmer are to get elected.
    2
  12341. I'm reminded of what a King once said: "Will someone not rid me of this meddlesome priest?"
    2
  12342. What I want to know is whether, like most sensible private industries, the government wrote punitive penalty clauses, for delayed supply into their contracts. I suspect they did not, and that if they had then this would not be happening.
    2
  12343. Let's tell it as it is. Peter Singer wants people to get vaccinated to protect HIMSELF. He is a cowardly and selfish old man. His seatbelt comparison is also grossly dishonest. Wearing a seatbelt doesn't pose any risk to the wearer. By contrast these vaccines are spanking new. They have not undergone years of trials like the other ones that almost all of us do not question and are happy to take. Also, young people are at negligible risk from covid-19, and those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity. So why should these people be forced to have a vaccine whose long term effects we just cannot know for certain. Think about it. If big pharma were sure that these vaccines were 100% safe they wouldn't need immunity from future prosecution, would they?😉
    2
  12344. Shamima freely CHOSE to go to Syria, to throw in her lot with rabid animals. No decent person wants to see her let back into the UK.
    2
  12345. This makes my blood boil. Several decades ago I can remember sitting next to a scientist from CERN on a flight back from the US. If economy is good enough for people like him then it's more than good enough for the likes of Lindsay Hoyle!
    2
  12346. People need to remember that people move to Florida to retire. It's God's waiting room, and there are a lot of very old people there, so high hospitalisations is no surprise. Despite the "big bad delta is going to waste you" scaremongering, this is still a virus that kills well under 1% who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. It's nothing to really worry or panic about.
    2
  12347. It should be against the law to hide your face in public. In this country it never gets cold enough to need to do so.
    2
  12348. Imagine how many jihadis there would be outside the school if it had cancelled Ramadan, to respect Christian beliefs.
    2
  12349. People age very differently. The sensible thing to do is to make the 3 yearly license renewal contingent on a very recent health check. There are plenty of people younger than 75 that shouldn't be driving.
    2
  12350. Tory ministers remind me of the most unsavoury, and untrustworthy, characters in Game of Thrones: and are equally deserving of a bad end. Mind you Labour shadow ministers are just as bad, if not worse.
    2
  12351. Do you really think anyone is going to say it's because Putin is a genocidal psychopath who has been murdering Ukrainian women and children for over a year?
    2
  12352. I'm betting the cannon fodder conscripts wish they had similar training and weapons.
    2
  12353. Like Turkeys voting for Christmas: pun intended.
    2
  12354. Omicron is an EXTREMELY MILD variant. There is absolutely no question about this. As such it is definitely not Omicron that is the problem, but the insane and cowardly knee jerk panic that has done the damage. It's debatable whether this variant has even put a single person in hospital, as opposed to being found in people admitted for something else. By all accounts the worst symptoms that Omicron has inflicted on anyone are those similar to a MILD cold.

  12355. Il n'y a pas d'accord avec Trump. Et il est difficile d'imaginer une meilleure issue que la destruction des capacités nucléaires et conventionnelles de l'Iran, et probablement aussi un changement de régime.

  12356. No! This is one man's insane ambition to carve out a large place in history for himself. Like Adolf Hitler, his removal WOULD make a massive difference.

  12357. It's unstoppable because it never gets started in the first place.

  12358.  @SlowhandGreg  Most Swedes live in cities, just like us, not in the EMPTY arctic.
    2
  12359. The only way for the Tories to claw back any credibility is to get rid of Boris AND most of his cabinet, who are just as bad as him, if not worse. Tories who care about the Conservative party should be on their knees begging someone like Desmond Swayne to become Prime Minister.
    2
  12360. What about putting arms around OAPs by U-turning on the "triple lock" that Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED them out of. Many desperately poor OAPs are now getting a pension rise way below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to many would have really struggled!
    2
  12361. Bogus Boris would already have been given his marching orders if only we had enough honest and decent MPs. Unfortunately parliament is stuffed to the gills with MPs who are utterly corrupt and self-serving. Even if we get rid of Boris, you wouldn't want most of his cabinet to replace him. Just think of Gove, who would happily sell his own mother.
    2
  12362. A warm welcome to our US friends and staunch allies. Putin appeasers need to remember that he doesn't need an excuse to attack another country. He will simply make a few up, as he did in Ukraine.

  12364.  @lindamorris4542  I honestly don't think there are any big enough or far enough from the mainland. I'm not suggesting that Scotland shouldn't get paid for this.
    2
  12365. Don't get tested! This gives the tyrants ammunition. If you are young or have had covid-19 then you definitely don't need to take a vaccine that has been poorly tested. Covid-91 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to young people, and research now shows that natural immunity is better than vaccination.
    2
  12366. I hope he is in agony. What disgusts me are the doctors keeping him alive. There are so many ways they could put him out of his suffering, and this would save tens of thousands of lives: indeed hundreds of thousands if it had been done a few months ago.

  12367.  @Alice-rc2hw  Actually, I found the quality of food better in Berlin. But if it makes you happy keep telling yourself that ordinary Italians aren't being screwed to hell.

  12368. Trump may be wrong on Ukraine. But he's right on the ball ending the threat posed by anti-Semites.
    2
  12369. The irony is that the tsunami of illegal migrants assaulting our shores isn't from the EU.
    2
  12370. If this were a proper democracy we would already have had a referendum on whether the license should be ended and the BBC forced to fend for itself like every other channel. But at the end of the day the government wants a channel that can be forced to deliver their message: as it did during the panicdemic.
    2
  12371. @Uncle Sam Sounds about right.
    2
  12372. What a great turkey shoot!
    2
  12373. While I wouldn't bet the farm on it, the amount of cruise missiles now being expended does indeed look like a really desperate attempt to force Ukraine into giving up territory at the negotiation table, so that Putin doesn't look like a total loser.
    2
  12374.  @chadthundercock_  You pathetic coward. This is a virus that kills well under 1%. Those who recover have excellent immunity that may last a lifetime. So the solution is for just the most vulnerable, and wimps like you, to isolate until natural herd immunity develops, or until just they have been vaccinated.
    2
  12375. Ironically those in Stockholm have enjoyed their freedom throughout this façade.
    2
  12376. Self-serving Sunak can afford to do nothing because he knows that Starmer will do just as little, or even less.
    2
  12377. What the Russians have done will remind many of how they murdered 22,000 Polish officers in WW II. After 70 years most of us thought we had seen the end of horrors like this in Europe. However it seems that the Russians have not evolved and are still very happy to perpetrate the worst kind of atrocities without the slightest hesitation or remorse.
    2
  12378.  @artyarts-sake4420  Absolutely right. Hitler was allowed his Anschluss, and to take the Sudetenland. Then Chamberlain came back from Munich waving his little bit of paper saying "peace in our time". Putin is at least as bad as Hitler, and probably worse!
    2
  12379. I'm not trying to get Randy Andy off the hook, but surely I'm not the only one who thinks that Virginia Giuffre looks quite happy in that now infamous picture. This seems rather like going out on a heavy binge and then wanting to sue the bartender because you woke up with a splitting headache.
    2
  12380. A very accurate assessment. There is zero chance of peace while Putin is in power.
    2
  12381. With a population of less than 60,000 Greenland would be absolutely insane not to want to be part of a nation that will guarantee its freedoms, be that Denmark or the US. With global warming the likes of Russia and China ARE greedily eying up the prospects of robbing Greenland of the substantial resources that become available. Without a NATO member to defend it Greenland will be in a lot of trouble. Whether people like this or not it's the harsh reality.
    2
  12382. Australia is going to lose an awful lot of tourist trade, because many will now chose not to visit this vile country.
    2
  12383. Zelenskyy needs to remember that the psychopath Putin attaches no value whatsoever to human life, and so will use these talks to try and guilt trip Zelenskyy into giving him some advantage. And let's not forget that the countries suffering most are almost entirely Putin fanboys or ones who have sat on the fence. So Ukraine certainly shouldn't feel obligated towards them in the least.
    2
  12384. It's a dead cert that cowardly Hamas will hide among any escaping civilians, so that they can use them as human shields to launch attacks (on Israeli civilians) from the South of Gaza. And then they will blame Israel for responding in self defence.
    2
  12385. Let's be fair about brainwashing. It doesn't just happen in Russia. Just think how many schmucks swallowed the scaremongering about Covid-19. Sars-cov-2 only ever posed a threat to well under 1% of the population. Yet people were happy to allow governments to ride rampant over their civil liberties, destroy their children's education, and send countless businesses to the wall. THEN the sheep queued up to take experimental vaccines that almost all of them didn't need. And MSM supported government propaganda 100% of the way, and still does to a large extent.
    2
  12386. Not as boring as the Putin rent boys.
    2
  12387. Yep a royal commission is always the answer. Lot's of protracted talking, nothing gets done, and a goodly number of lawyers get their wallets fattened.
    2
  12388. The BBC is in the vast majority when it comes to organisations that are ageist. Ageism is a raging epidemic in the UK, and one that government and the courts turn a blind eye to.
    2
  12389.  @Blanka1100  Poland is still much poorer than the UK.
    2
  12390. 70 years ago, in partnership with Nazi Germany, Russia launched a totally unprovoked attack on Poland. Russia also cold-bloodedly murdered 22,000 Polish officers at Katyn: among many other atrocities. Russia has not changed one iota since then!
    2
  12391. But governments can spread all the lies they want to scare people into giving up their liberty and having poorly tested vaccines that they don't need.
    2
  12392. We all know that the BBC is run by pro-Hamas anti-Semites!
    2
  12393. There is a highly venomous ant called the bullet ant. It's venom doesn't do any physical harm but it causes unbelievable pain. It's been compared to having your fingers slammed in the door, but with the pain persisting for hours. I would like to see this as a method of rehabilitation for many offenders: with it mandatory for people like this man. Most definitely wouldn't commit the offence again. Also, if the punishment was televised it would act as a very strong deterrent.
    2
  12394. The TRUTH is that sars-cov-2 never posed a serious threat to over 99% of the population, so the EXREMELY DAMAGING lockdowns and restriction were totally unjustified. The TRUTH is that natural immunity, after infection by this virus, is VASTLY BETTER and MUCH LONGER LASTING, so most people should have been given EXPERIMENTAL vaccines. But don't hold your breath for any enquiry to say these things.
    2
  12395. Hopefully this isn't a German type intention, because we all know that they take a very long time to happen, if they happen at all.
    2
  12396.  @Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle  Says the cowardly little man with a keyboard.🤣

  12397. He should have changed his name to Katie Price, who has an endless supply of "get out of jail free" cards.
    2
  12398. Time to do what should have been done months ago and pull the plug. AND his stupid selfish mother should be billed for ALL the legal costs.
    2
  12399. The sheep can bleat as much and as long as they like, but other than some of them being slaughtered nothing will change until they stop being sheep and FIGHT!
    2
  12400. I guess I'm a really bad person for caring about Jewish lives, that will never be safe as long as Hamas and Hezbollah are allowed to exist.
    2
  12401. We certainly do need to talk about safeguarding children. There are currently millions of Dr. Mengele types now out there who want to stick needles, full of poorly tested vaccines, in them!
    2
  12402. The only thing Boris and the rest of the Sultans of Sleaze are ashamed of is getting caught. Now what inquiring minds really want to know is how many bums Hancock groped during that party.
    2
  12403. His mate in Wagner says they are running away and crying, like little girls.
    2
  12404. Of course Putin wants to destroy Ukraine. Several of it's neighbours probably want to greatly loosen relations with Russia, and several regions really would like to leave the Russian Federation. One of the reasons Putin is doing all this to Ukraine is in the hope of frightening them. Of course, what they need to realise is that with Russia now so weak there has never been a better time to make a bid for freedom: especially if they all do it together.
    2
  12405. So, from July 19th we will be able to play spot the wanker. They will be the people wearing masks. They will tell you they are doing it for others, but the truth is that they are still pissing themselves over this virus.
    2
  12406. These people can put up their fees by a SMALL amount to recoup the expense, and their customers will barely notice the difference.
    2
  12407. Doesn't North Korea realise what a joke of a country it is? Threatening the USA is like a Chihuahua snapping at the heels of a Rottweiler.
    2
  12408. Well, we are talking about Scotland.
    2
  12409. Apart from a few woke snowflakes I can't see many getting upset over this so-called abuse.
    2
  12410. Tim, all other things being equal, one would also expect a similar drop in the hospitalisation RATE. But with 10 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated things aren't equal, so one would expect an even bigger drop in this. Of course, we are given death rates and infection rates, but only hospitalisation totals. Perish the thought that we might be shown a very rapid decline in the hospitalisation rate. This would encourage people to demand an end to lockdown: and Downing Street doesn't want that. As well as the big drop in infections, we would do well to remember that most of those now being infected will simply shrug this disease off without a second thought.
    2
  12411. Most younger people support ULEZ! And so do a lot of decent older people.
    2
  12412. Any lifting of sanctions, or even not increasing them further, will ultimately cost vastly more lives than those of prisoners. The West and NATO mustn't give Putin an inch, in any shape or form!
    2
  12413. Seeing all those tanks blown up, and the Orcs in them roasted, certainly cheers up an overcast Monday morning.
    2
  12414. When are the morons going to understand that covid-19 is here to stay? When will the cowards appreciate that the only thing lockdowns and restrictions do is kick the covid-19 can down the street a bit, while causing immense damage in many areas? Why is there such a reluctance to look at those happy Swedes and say "we f**ked up big time". If it wasn't for the insane amount of damage being done, these restrictions would be as laughable as King Canute telling the tide not to come in. The ONLY sane strategy is to just vaccinate the most vulnerable and let most people catch what is overwhelmingly an incredibly mild infection, after which they will have the rock solid natural immunity that will eventually sort everything out. Over 18 months of Chicken Little panicking have not helped the situation one iota. Just how stupid do you have to be to not understand that more of the same is not the answer. Instead of "clap for the NHS" I suggest that people fly a Swedish flag outside their homes to express their admiration for a country that got it right. In fact I'm going to order mine right now from Amazon!
    2
  12415. It may be utter hell, but for every Ukrainian that dies 7 Orcs are exterminated. The row been the Wagner group and the Russian military is also a plus.
    2
  12416. Sadly, like FGM and child grooming in place like Rochdale, I think the government and courts will turn a blind eye to any breach of this law, unless it's actually carried out on prime time TV.
    2
  12417. Every atrocity and war crime that Putin commits makes the Ukrainian people even more determined not to be ruled by him: and the West more determined to support them.
    2
  12418. A pathology like this will vary greatly from person to person. For some, it might happen very quickly, but for others it might even take a few decades. Effectively what this means is that there is a real possibility that everyone "vaccinated" now has a ticking timebomb inside them!
    2
  12419. I'm no fan of Rich Boy Sunak and his circus, but in my opinion almost all of the Labour party is poisonous.
    2
  12420. Leaves on the line.🤣
    2
  12421. Sadly, it looks like Ukraine is repeating last year's massive mistake, and even doubling down on it. Stopping the previous counter offensive allowed the Russians to regroup, resupply, and build the massive amount of defenses that caused this counteroffensive so much difficulty. It looks like this current counteroffensive has come to an end even earlier than last year's one did! Is Ukraine serious about driving the Orcs from their land?
    2
  12422. Forcing people with severe disability or illness to live against their will is legalising torture!
    2
  12423. Like the videos you see of vermin at night in a farmyard being exterminated.
    2
  12424. Russia has thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines that it can't possibly protect along their entire length. So why hasn't Ukraine done anything to them, because this would be a good way to cripple Russia?
    2
  12425. ​ @mbuyiselojohannes8162  Nice try Putin rent boy.
    2
  12426. You've got to be either unbelievably naive, or a Hamas supporter, to maintain the the majority of these "innocent Palestinians", didn't know about the construction of so many tunnels, and support them.
    2
  12427. A few days ago, on the news, we saw the Irish immediately deporting illegals back to the UK, from whence they had come. This begs two questions: 1. Why is the UK accepting them back? 2. If it's OK for the Irish to do this then why isn't it OK for us to immediately deport them back to France, which is where they last where?
    2
  12428. What many of us find intolerable is Sunak and his police force allowing Hamas supporters to walk down our streets waving swastikas!
    2
  12429. Let's be very clear about this. The MAJORITY in Northern Ireland are happy with the Protocol. Why should the government sour relations with the EU, just when we need strong unity against Putin, in order to satisfy a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who hate Catholics and the Irish Republic?
    2
  12430. I don't think that they are too worried about whether Hamas supporters believe them.
    2
  12431. I've got a bottle of Champaign that will probably go in the fridge when the Kerch Bridge is taken out.
    2
  12432. And who will staff these cabins? Maybe the government will go down to the local garden centres and fill the cabins with garden gnomes, because most hospital doctors and nurses are already be worked to breaking point.
    2
  12433. I wonder how many are old enough to remember that Lebanon was once the Middle East's jewel in the crown until the fundamentalist Muslim fanatics destroyed it?
    2
  12434. The observations so far, by South African doctors, characterise this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact I think I've read that it hasn't hospitalised or killed a single person! But here is most governments' strategy. Delay as long as possible coming out and repeating what the SA doctors have noticed, in the hope that this assessment will change. If this assessment does not change then vigorously deny and censor the findings. Because governments really do not want a variant that might quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. People would then find out the truth of how much they have lied about natural immunity, and loose their fear of this virus. This is what is really frightening most governments. I want to rename Omicron the Fluffy Kitten variant.
    2
  12435. Yes, any winter pause in Ukraine's offensive will be a true gift to the Russians, and a disaster for Ukraine!
    2
  12436. Psycho Putin no longer has enough soldiers to fight in Ukraine, let alone Poland. But when you are dealing with a deranged lunatic I guess one should be prepared for anything.
    2
  12437. This variant is EXTREMELY MILD. Rather than allowing the despots to ruin more lives in a totally futile attempt to stop it, we need everyone to go out of their way to catch Omicron ASAP. This will then very quickly and SAFELY generate NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bring the pandemic to an end.
    2
  12438. This is exactly the OPPOSITE of what research into teens' sleep patterns recommends. In fact, letting teens start LATER seems to correlate with better outcomes.
    2
  12439. I guess Erdogan's dirty tricks weren't effective enough in these elections.
    2
  12440. Sunak, est-ce que tu écoutes?
    2
  12441. Russia is not exactly renowned for telling the truth. So how do we really know if there were any POWs onboard, rather than this just being a ploy to discourage Ukraine from shooting their planes down?
    2
  12442. Let's be honest. We really don't need to mine more gold as almost all of what has ever been mined is just sitting around uselessly in vaults around the world.
    2
  12443. Well we all know what became of Poo Tin's military exercises near the Ukraine border. How does that old adage go? Fool me once...
    2
  12444. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to this age group. Much smaller than that posed by these rushed through, and poorly tested vaccines, whose long term effects we cannot possibly know. Dr. Mengele would be so proud of the EU regulator.

  12445. Am I the only one who remembers how, years ago, people used to say things like "I still haven't recovered from that flu I had 6 months ago"? This is exactly the same. Long covid is an invention made up to scare people who get wise and realise the covid-19 is really no big deal, and never was.

  12447. While the bleating of the snowflakes gets louder with each passing day, so does the EVIDENCE that Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD, as South African doctors said weeks ago. By Christmas the snowflakes will no doubt be bleating even more pitifully, but the hard facts, favouring ignoring them, will be even harder still to ignore.

  12448. @Scott Smith The thing about cowards is that they are extremely good at inventing excuses to try and present their cowardice as prudence.

  12449. Here we go again. Even the snowflakes aren't freaking out about Delta anymore, so that means only one thing. Time to pull another variant out of the hat, after all, you know what they say about schmucks: "there's one born every minute". Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

  12451. We need an emergency law passed authorizing the immediate deportation of anyone who engages in anti-Semitic behaviour who has or can claim another nationality!

  12452. Agreed. Millions laid down their lives to save us from having the kind of governments we now have.

  12453. Who knows when, or from where, these missiles were launched. Remember the Russian MoD video that showed rockets being launched from a wood in winter, and landing in a field in summer.

  12454. I have to agree with you Mercy, as long as you are willing to ruthlessly trample over your fellow men and women, to get to the top, and ruthlessly exploit those less fortunate than yourself then the Tories will warmly embrace you as one of them, regardless of your sex, race or sexual orientation.

  12456. The Conservatives haven't had a decent PM since Margaret Thatcher. Her successor, John Major, was truly awful, but the last two PMs make him look like a shining Noble Laureate.

  12457. There's an old saying: "we know where you live". It's way passed time that all the covid-19 dictators were made to appreciate this. How hard, or risky, can it be to put a brick through someone's window in the middle of the night? You know they deserve it, and a lot worse!
    2
  12458. Here's another "despicable" comment: but nonetheless true. There are lots of much closer Arab countries, that share these refugees culture and values, but won't take them. That's because they know it means letting in lots of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists!
    2
  12459. No, the biggest joke are Putin fanboys.
    2
  12460.  @demonhalo67  That's why this and other governments are so determined to deny how effective and long lasting natural immunity is. They really don't want most people understanding just how stupid and wrong lockdowns were/are.
    2
  12461. Incapable police, or UNWILLING police and courts?
    2
  12462. The same kind of things REALLY NEED to start happening in Moscow! Ukraine may not have the long range rockets, but they should think of what the IRA did to the NATWest Tower, or the Jihadi tube bombings. There are probably plenty of Russian speaking Ukrainians who could move around unnoticed in Moscow.

  12463. As someone who worked as a software developer for over 20 years, and was probably in the top couple of percent, let me tell you how government I.T. contracts work. They are tendered to so-called software houses: typically the one with the cheapest bid. Unfortunately these bids are kept low because these companies do not employ the most able developers, but the cheapest they can get away with. Well, there's an old saying: "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys". There really is an order of magnitude difference between the productivity of top-notch developers and average ones. So not employing the best is actually a massive false economy. But try explaining this to the highly resentful managers of these software houses, who are invariably promoted into these positions because they were no bloody good at doing the real work themselves. By the way, I was extremely well paid because I worked as a freelancer in the City of London.

  12464. When Putin was massing his troops on the Ukraine border he denied that he had any plans to invade Ukraine. How does that saying go? Fool me once...

  12465. One change that would really help GPs would be to remove the odious load placed on them by having to deal with mental illness. These people should be going to psychiatrists, not GPs. In fact, if I were contemplating a job as a GP this aspect would be a very strong disincentive.

  12466. Actually a more proactive approach is called for. Maybe burning them to the ground is a bit OTT, but things like some epoxy resin in their locks might help them see the error of their ways.😊
    2
  12467. I'm not condoning any of this. But anyone with even a modicum of intelligence has seen it coming for years. Successive governments have let tens of thousands of illegals come over from France, and then put them up in plush hotels. There are many others who have been legally give residence, but they are on benefits and do not respect our laws and customs. Then we have governments refusing to deport those ones who commit crimes. Finally, since Oct 7th we have witnessed countless anti-Semitic demonstrations, with the police just standing by and doing nothing.

  12472. So true!
    2
  12473. If at all possible Ukraine must stop the Orcs digging in and resupplying over the winter. The ideal would be to try and see to it that freezing winter temperatures and bad weather put even more pressure in the Orcs. If food and supplies can be prevented from reaching the Orc trenches then Father Winter will do the rest.
    2
  12474. Well Olaf certainly doesn't have any intention of seeing that Ukraine's military is the "best equipped".

  12475. Things like this are why calling Russians Orcs describes them perfectly! Even a lot of animals treat their dead with more respect.
    2
  12476. Please spare a thought for the tens of thousands of desperately poor OAPs who Rich Boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". They will now get a pension rise well below inflation. Even without having what they are entitled to STOLEN from them many would have found it very hard to make ends meet. I don't think people appreciate that the British state pension is one of the meanest in the world.

  12486. If Belarusians have any sense they will move on Lukashenko as soon as the Ukrainian offensive kicks off, because Putin will be in no position to protect his puppet. There's also a good chance that if they do this then Georgians will remove his puppets as well and make a move to take back the 20% of their country that was stolen.

  12487. Very well done to those sensible 85% of students. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to them, so getting tested is like kicking yourself in the backside. Without testing they can't claim you are infected and kick you out, so why would any serious student rick it. Students should also refuse to wear face nappies.

    2
  12493. Isn't it funny how left-wing governments always blame the "far-right". In the UK we are getting the same nonsense from Starmer. The trouble is that by the definition of your Alabanese and our Labour governments over 90% of the country is far-right.
    2
  12494. I see that somebody removed my earlier comment suggesting that mRNA might be involved in these excess deaths. This was never meant to make it out of the arm muscle into which it was injected, yet it has been found 28 days later in the blood stream! It is therefore a very reasonable conjecture that it may have been incorporated into ANY tissue in the body, and that the generation of antigens in these tissues might give rise to autoimmune reactions. I also noted that a moving average of the graph at 0:25 would show a clear UPWARD trend in the number of excess deaths.

  12495. The only way to get a straight answer from people like this is by applying electrodes to their testicles!

  12496. By tomorrow Trump will be singing Putin's praises again. But Putin doesn't care anyway, because, like the rest of the world, he knows that in reality Trump doesn't give a damn about Ukraine.

  12497. Unfortunately governments will continue lying about this, and most people will continue believing them, because they haven't got the confidence and strength of character to admit that they have been well and truly suckered.

  12498. I definitely don't want trees cut down for cycle lanes. However I do want to see as many cars as possible taken off our roads. MOST people in London do not need to drive; it's a selfish indulgence. In fact many would be financially better off if they didn't own and drive a car. Apart from the well recounted respiratory deaths have you ever wondered why your sense of smell (and taste goes with it) declines as you get older? In part it's due to the nerves in your nose being poisoned by traffic fumes. And traffic noise isn't just a nuisance, it actually takes years off many people's lives.

  12499. Many local elections have been cancelled because BOTH the Tories and Labour are desperate to hide how much more popular Reform UK is than either of them.

  12500. I have a little yellow book with over 20 vaccine stamps. All for vaccinations I invested time and money to get, and I can envisage doing the same many time again. However, these are all vaccines that have been very well tried and tested, and that I felt would benefit me. Now, let's have a look at the covid-19 vaccines. Are they 100% safe? No! Do we know if there might be any UNFORESEEN long term effects? NO, and we can't possibly! If we were dealing with something like Ebola then I'd be the first to champion vaccination. However we are dealing with a virus that kills well under 1%, and is less deadly than seasonal flu for people under 50, or even 60. The most heinous part of vaccine passports is that government scum are insistent on vaccinating people who will derive NO BENEFIT with vaccines that aren't 100% safe. You can't get much more unethical than that. Virtually every single person who has had covid-19 now has excellent long term natural immunity. This is now a very well established fact. They gain absolutely nothing from being vaccinated, so why coerce them into being jabbed. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  12501.  @zivkovicable  Haven't driven for over a decade, but I'm very proud to say that when I was a lot younger I used to cruise down the middle lane of the M4, in an old Cortina at 100mph.
    2
  12502. I see some snowflake scum removed my comment about no other vaccine having been given with such frequency, and the high probability that we will soon be seeing jab 5. This is an EXPERIMENT on a massive scale, with people as the lab rats, that Dr. Mengele would be immensely proud to call his own.

  12506. Not being mentally retarded, I too am unwilling to take a poorly tested vaccine, whose long term effects we cannot know, especially when my natural immunity is vastly better and much longer lasting.

  12509. This has been going on for a long time, so why didn't parliament changed the long ago? And don't give me the crap about not using force. People don't get to choose whether they are arrested or go to prison. If they resist force is used!

  12513. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  12517. France is a breathtakingly beautiful country, with a better climate than the UK, and an incredibly rich cultural heritage. It has a reputation for excellent food and a good health service. So why don't illegal migrants want to settle there? Could it possibly be because the French don't bend over backwards to pamper them a nd shower them with freebies? Perhaps if, like the French we kept these illegals in tents, and didn't give them any benefits, they would stop coming or even start leaving.
    2
  12518. Nuclear energy "stacks up" far better than buggering the hell out of our climate. It's the children and grandchildren who will pay the price for the selfish morons who don't want to embrace nuclear power generation.
    2
  12519. LMAO. But you know what does appear to work well? Natural immunity, which the government is still pretending isn't effective.
    2
  12520. I've just done a quick calculation. The IFR is now put at under 0.3%. So to get 85,000 deaths we need at least 85000/0.033 = 28,000,000 more infections. Does this seem credible? Here's another figure. For the 45,000 deaths we have already had this equates to at least 15, 000,000 already having been infected, and now being immune. So taking the the insane prediction of the SAGE wankers as correct, which it clearly isn't, we would end up with at least 43 million immune people. That's at least 65% of the population! We would have, or be very close to, herd immunity, WITHOUT any vaccine, which is far from guaranteed. One more calculation. 45000 + 85000 = 130,000 deaths in about a year. BUT around 600,000 people die every year in the UK, and a high percentage of those 130,000 would be among those 600,000. These figures simply do not justify further destruction of the economy, jobs, education, and futures. During the spring lockdown we knew little about the virus and didn't realise just how low the IFR was. With what we know now a second lockdown is utter madness and completely unacceptable. Please check my figures if you want. Then copy this post and pass it on to everybody and ask them to do the same. Because these figures make it abundantly clear that we DO NOT NEED another incredibly damaging lockdown.

  12521. If somebody is caught breaking their contract by not going to work, and possibly committing fraud, because they are accepting a wage for this deception, then they fully deserve to lose their job! Also whatever happened to being allowed to photograph and film in public places?
    2
  12522. The trouble is that for nearly two years most governments, and their mainstream media lapdogs, have done all in their power to censor anti-lockdown news and research that supports natural immunity. It's become clear that most governments are hellbent on vaccinating everybody, regardless of the science. Therefore most of us expect that anything calling into question the safety of these vaccines is going to be very vigorously suppressed. Unfortunately we also have that very nasty human trait that "misery loves company". Most people have had the vaccine and a high proportion of them will feel a hell of a lot better seeing others have it too, especially if there is a downside.
    2
  12523. This is why so many old people try to keep some cash in the bank. Because if they need a hip or knee replacement they know that the NHS will leave them crippled and in agony for years. My sister knows at least two people who had to fork out nearly £20,000 for operations that they desperately needed. But TTK is going to go after that money!

  12526. It's nowhere near finished, as there is still a large Orc infestation to be removed from the land. The best consolidation is to slaughter as many as possible of these Orcs, and drive them back as far as possible. Hopefully the momentum of the last few days can be kept up, and more Russian supply lines can be destroyed. I've got a bottle of Champagne that I'll probably put in the fridge when the Kerch Bridge is destroyed, and the liberation of Crimea begins.
    2
  12527. As well as the ammunition depots these new missiles definitely need to be used to finish off the Kerch Bridge, which is a major supply route.

  12530. But you know who are very, very rarely getting infected? Those who previously had covid-19 and now have rock solid natural immunity, that will probably last them a lifetime.

  12531. ​ @markparker5585  If one was 100% certain these vaccines were safe then Big Parma wouldn't have been indemnified! Do you honestly expect any decent parent to put their child at risk for the sake of a few people over 80 who have already lived a damn good life? Get real!
    2
  12532.  @whitepillxx3295  Exactly! What decent parent would give their child a rushed through vaccine for something that barely effects them?

  12535. I've worked with and taught decent Russians, who I liked. I'm sure there are many millions of good ones. Of course whether any of them are in a position to put this rabid dog down isn't so clear.
    2
  12536. Sounds about right. If the wound was very minor then Russia would be very quick to show that this general was recovering well.
    2
  12537. With no victories, in over a year, to show, and after the incredible losses that Putin has sustained in Bakhmut he is truly desperate to be able to present it to the Russian people as a victory. I wonder if Russians are familiar with the expression "pyric victory".
    2
  12538. Everyone in the Western world who isn't anti-Semitic is also cheering wildly. Of course, YouTube is deleting most of their posts!
    2
  12539. The risk that this nuclear power point is being subjected to clearly demonstrates the gross stupidity of the Russian people in following Putin. If there is a serious leak of radioactivity it won't be good for Ukraine, BUT prevailing winds will blow a lot of it straight into Russia, maybe contaminating hundreds, if not thousands, of square miles for generations to come. Of course, this is of no concern to a deranged psychopath like Putin, who values Russian lives no more highly than those of Ukrainians.
    2
  12540. Perhaps the Australian public would would be more comfortable with an ever increasing number of droughts, heatwaves, floods and storms.😉
    2
  12541. Isn't it meant to be part of the Russian constitution that Russia will not be the first to use nuclear weapons? And didn't Putin reiterate exactly this just a few days ago? Am I the only one who sees a really desperate man, who knows his days are numbered, blabbering to try and save his skin?

  12542. If Erdogan blocks Finland's and Sweden's membership then Turkey may find their very important tourist industry boycotted, with people taking their tourists euros and dollars to Greece instead.

  12543. The blame lies squarely with dumb-ass politicians. When you have the most stable tectonics in the world, and your own large supply of Uranium, only a complete imbecile refuses to make really good use of nuclear power.
    2
  12544. Having taught abroad I've worked in really good schools that don't have uniforms at all, and where the teachers go in wearing jeans, or shorts in the summer. It really is time that the British dropped their uniform fetish, like most countries.

  12547. Putin very clearly set out his aims in his "Historic Russia" speech. And only recently we were treated to a view of his kitchen in which he keeps a picture of his favourite tsar, Alexander III, who was a fervent nationalist and strongly opposed to democracy. Does this sound like a man who wants anything other than to conquer the whole of Ukraine? That's why he will never engage in serious peace talks.
    2
  12548.  @justadude8369  Yes, I haven't been paying attention to the grossly dishonest scaremongering.

  12550. Let's be honest. Doncaster and Sheffield are the armpit cities of the UK. The only surprise is that anyone was stupid enough to open the airport in the first place: it's never made a profit.
    2
  12551. A guilty verdict demands that there is evidence that is strong enough to convince a jury "beyond reasonable doubt" that the defendant is guilty. You don't lower the bar because in some cases it's harder to provide such evidence. As Benjamin Franklin said: "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer". It's far from unknown for false rape claims to be made for a whole plethora of reasons. No one should be jailed, on flimsy evidence, for a crime they didn't commit.
    2
  12552. Well don't say those of us with a brain didn't warn you, many months ago that this CON was coming. I seem to recall saying something like: "coming to a cinema near you, in time for Christmas, the Omega variant that's going to kill us all". When are all the schmucks going to wise up to the scaremongering? Fool me once shame, on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. What does this say about the fools who swallow this crap time and time again?
    2
  12553.  @denismorgan9742  Exactly! Missiles with enough range.

  12554. With an IFR of less than 0.3% Covid has never posed a serious threat anywhere. Far more damage has been done by the panicky, kneejerk reactions of most governments who should have just let it run its course, like any cold or influenza virus.
    2
  12555. The vast majority of hardworking taxpayers, or pensioners with decades of hard work behind them feel completely betrayed. It was recently reported that around £40,000 per year, on each illegal, is being spent keeping them in hotels that most of us can only dream of staying in. Yet the UK has over 7,700 offshore islands on which Nissen huts to house them in could be set up. As well as saving us a fortune it would act as a deterrent, rather than a magnet. And you know what? This has previously been suggested by Labour's own Tony Blair!
    2
  12556. For those who still haven't got the message, Putin is a deranged psychopath who really doesn't care. He promised Russians an easy victory in a few days. Six months on he is presiding over a debacle entirely of his own making, and his position is probably very precarious. Like any insane psychopath he is prepared to inflict unlimited suffering on others in order to protect himself and achieve his personal goals. If the Russian people can't see this then they richly deserve every radioactive atom that the prevailing Westerlies blow into Russia!
    2
  12557. "Optimistic", really? We are nightly shown the numbers in hospital, which are dropping fast. However, this lags behind the hospitalisation RATE, which we are deliberately not shown because it is by far the most important metric, and it is PLUMMETING. This is the evidence, staring our cowardly government in the face! The R number and number of infections NO LONGER MATTER, because with over 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated very few of these infections will now lead to hospitlisations. They will be shrugged off with less ado than a bad cold. It's time to end ALL this dictatorial Chicken Little panic.
    2
  12558. I've been saying this for days! Surely there must be some patriotic Russian, who cares enough about Russia and their children, who can get to him and put this rabid dog down? Most of Russia and the rest of the world would shower that person with wealth and honours.
    2
  12559. Yes, people like him sicken me.

  12561. Looks like it could have been a coach as far as I can tell: carrying women and children.

  12562. Failure in the Ukraine poses an existential threat to Putin. However, it does not pose an existential threat to Russia. No Russian territory has been invaded, or is being threatened with invasion. Putin is now a very desperate psychopath, but its questionable whether his generals will sacrifice their children and grandchildren just for this maniac's ego.
    2
  12563. Exactly what the Nazis used to do. After an attack by the resistance they would murder lots of civilians. It didn't work for them, and it won't work for Putin.

  12564. Well, not as disappointed as you would have been if Rich Boy Sunak, and his gang of slime-balls were in No.10.

  12565. I'm fully expecting a camp trans Dr Who before too long.
    2
  12566. For the overwhelming majority of people getting COVID is no big deal. In fact it's a lot less bother than a bad cold. Also, those of us who have had it have excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY. I'd like to say I'm even less worried than in 2019 and 2020, but how can one be less worried than not worried at all.
    2
  12567. Rich Boy Sunak ROBBED OAPs of their rightful pension rise, at a time when they have never needed it more. All decent people will be very glad that he and his slime-ball cronies have been kept out of the cabinet.

  12568. When prevailing winds are Westerlies, and a nuclear power station isn't too far from your border, putting it at risk isn't too bright, as a lot of released radioactivity would be blown straight into your country.
    2
  12569. Psycho Putin promised a spectacular celebration of his success in Ukraine for the 9th May. So his generals are now under immense pressure to deliver some significant victories within the next 3 days. If they don't then Putin will suffer severe and very public humiliation. This will greatly increase the possibility of him being "removed" from power.
    2
  12570. It's never been an enquiry, but rather an exercise in exonerating the guilty. This was a virus that killed only 0.3% at the very most, and where we knew who were the most at risk. A comparison of the death rates in countries with different lockdown policies, or none at all shows no significant statistical correlation. Also, natural immunity after infection is extremely robust, so at least 95% of people should never have been given a poorly tested vaccine: especially young people.
    2
  12571. Given the very small size of the drones, and their minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched within Moscow itself, or very close to the city. So it's reasonably likely that might even have been launched by Putin's own FSB goons, in order to frighten Russians into supporting him more.

  12572. As long as Russia is hurting a lot more i can live with a recession.
    2
  12573. Having asked a few girls that I taught whether it was their choice to wear the hijab their answer was always the same. Their parents made them do it! This is child abuse pure and simple, and needs to be vigorously stamped out. Even after 18 lots of women are still bullied and coerced into wear hijabs and burkas by Neanderthal men. Yes you will get a few mentally disturbed women who want to wear this repressive clothing, but the vast majority will celebrate any laws that free them from this form of male domination.
    2
  12574. Why confuse people by changing a name that's been used for decades, and people are used to? It's called Monkey Pox! Are we soon going to have Cpox instead of Chicken Pox?
    2
  12575. TTK is one of the saddest excuses for a man that I've ever seen. Perhaps he would like to self-identify as a woman?

  12577.  @agnescraig2912  Depuis que YouTube a supprimé la version anglaise, voici une vieille blague en français : Des scientifiques veulent faire appel à des avocats dans leurs expériences, car ils ont découvert que même les rats ne font pas certaines choses.

  12581. It's difficult to see what China would gain from this. China gains far more by just sitting on the sidelines and continuing normal trade with everyone. Russia certainly can't afford to stop trading with China if they say no.
    2
  12582. If people weren't so bloody lazy and self indulgent it wouldn't be that painful. You can save a fair bit by cooking instead of buying ready meals and cakes. Also, not going to pubs, coffee shops and fast food joints saves a lot of money. Too many people in this country haven't learnt to help themselves!
    2
  12583. Covid was never a big deal, threatening just a small fraction of 1%, and lockdowns were a major mistake. There must be no more pandering to the snowflake bed-wetters.

  12588. If the opportunity ever presents itself Putin will pin Russia's highest medal of honour on both Scholz and Ergodan.
    2
  12589. Maybe, despite the massive fearmongering, these party animal Tories knew damn well that Covid-19 was no big deal for the vast majority and that (as several recent studies have shown) lockdowns were completely and utterly useless: as were most masks.
    2
  12590. One thing people need to understand when they see markets moving up or down is that market makers need movement to make money. To a large extent they don't care whether they can prompt an upwards or downwards movement. It's when things don't move that they start losing money! Take it from someone that worked on computer market making systems for many years.
    2
  12591. The FSB and KGB might as well suck off Putin if most of the regular Russian military decide not to fight Wagner. As for Prigozhin being a bad guy, this doesn't mean he might not be satisfied with simply taking Putin's power, all his possessions and then just living very comfortably. We also don't know if this could be a catalyst for unrest in Belarus and regions that want out of the Russian Federation.

  12592. Trump is like some dude who meets a girl on the waterfront, who tells him that he's the only one for her. A few days later his friends tell him that, along with half the fleet, they have all had her.

  12593. Let no one forget that Hamas launched rockets on Israeli civilians first. The Israeli military do try just to target Hamas, but these fundamentalist cowards hide among civilians. And one should never forget that given half a chance Hamas would annihilate Israel without the slightest hesitation.
    2
  12594. That's like asking whether the Pope is a Catholic. We've got the Met Police turning a blind eye to Partygate, and Durham Police turning a blind eye to Beergate. We do get some honest decent politicians, but they typically serve out their time in obscurity, or get murdered. I don't think I could name a single honest decent politician in the cabinet or shadow cabinet.
    2
  12595. This presenter sounds like a full-on Putin fanboy. Notice how he conveniently doesn't mention that the pipeline destroyed wasn't in service. There are so many other easier targets that would have made a significant impact on Russia, as opposed to this UNUSED pipeline.

    2
  12599. The country, meaning us taxpayers, cannot afford to keep doing this. We need these businesses to be doing business, employing people, and themselves paying taxes. We need the scaremongers, who are frightening people away from hospitality, and other areas, to not be given prime TV air time. For a variant that is EXTREMELY MILD, and not worth worrying about, careless talk is going to cost a lot of jobs and livelihoods. The £6,000 is going to make bugger all difference to most businesses. Even before this latest Chicken Little panic most businesses were not at 2019 trading levels.

  12600. This is in the same category as Trump's earlier comment about injecting yourself with disinfectant.

  12604. I guess wanting women and girls to feel, and be, safe when they need to use a public toilet makes me an evil transphobic person.
    2
  12605. I'm not excusing it in the least, but if people in some countries like Britain weren't brought up to be so incredibly prudish about nudity then a lot of the impact would be lost. I do wonder if revenge porn or the threat of it is anywhere near as effective in countries like Germany or Scandinavia.
    2
  12606. Hard as it might be for Imran Khan to comprehend, most of us in developed and civilized countries regard ALL religions as complete and utter nonsense. Jesus, and Buddha are fair game for a piss take and so is Mohammed. Is he really too stupid to understand that the Holocaust is totally different? This has to do with a race: the Jewish people. Islam is a religion that any superstitious nut job can believe in: it's no different than idiots believing in Scientology. Blasphemy laws are for primitive countries who haven't yet developed beyond the medieval dark ages. Je suis toujours Charlie!

  12608. Since there's only one kind of women the term "biological woman" is as redundant as saying "female woman".

    2
  12610. Let's be very clear on this. Postal voting is open to massive abuse. It should only be allowed in the most extreme circumstances.

  12612. Moldova has had nearly 3 years to prepare for this. That they didn't indicates a very incompetent, and maybe corrupt, government.

  12613. Now wait for mad Putin to claim this has been released from a Ukraine bio lab.
    2
  12614. Exactly!
    2
  12615. Perhaps, but winter is coming and Ukraine seriously needs to up its game before then. The Kerch bridge is still open for business, and not one of Moscow's skyscrapers has been taken down. The IRA destroyed the NatWest Tower with much less resources, so Ukraine really has no excuse. And what about those 1000s of miles of gas and oil pipelines in Russia that Ukraine hasn't touched?
    2
  12616. Iran was ALWAYS headed this way, and will continue on this path while the current regime is allowed to remain in power, and given the means to pursue their final solution for Israel.

  12617. This barge should not be moored in one of the sunniest and most picturesque parts of the country. Somewhere far up North, where its bleak cold and wet, is where it belongs.

  12621. Well, if you can pull it off, what better way to exterminate the Wagner group than to sucker them into becoming cannon fodder once again.
    2
  12622. It was never meant to be an inquiry, but rather a massive whitewashing exercise. Those running it are paid by government to deliver the findings that government wants to hear. Have as much faith in this inquiry as you would in an election involving Putin.
    2
  12623. Never mind the elites' kids, there aren't that many sent to war from Moscow or St. Petersburg. It's always been Moscow policy that schmucks from far away regions get feed to the meat grinder. Is it any wonder that several regions REALLY want out of the Russian Federation. Perhaps they will have the sense to take advantage of Putin's much weakened position and fight against him, for freedom, instead of dying for his megalomaniac ambitions.
    2
  12624. Unfortunately, climate is what is known as a chaotic system. This means that there is the possibility of seeing a sudden much bigger change. This may not happen, but if it does there will be no way to reverse things. So, do people really want to role the dice on this? I don't have any kids so if things go south I'm unlikely to reap the whirlwind, but those with children and grandchildren should perhaps adopt a more cautious attitude. Remember, most politicians only look as far as the next election and the opinion polls, and many would sell their own mothers.

  12625. Dream on Putin fanboy.

  12626. Well he's certainly superficially blacker than her.🤣
    2
  12627. Yeah, right. And she wants to work on a pig farm and eat bacon sandwiches too. But what really disgusts me is the bent lawyers that are trying to help her. I'd like to put them in a dark alley with some of those who have lost loved ones to ISIS.
    2
  12628. LMAO. You know what does work? NATURAL IMMUNITY. And even if you haven't had covid-19 it's probably far better to get EXTERMELY MILD Omicron, which will then give you proper immunity. FFS, within just one year people are being injected 4 times with an experimental vaccine that hasn't undergone long term safety trials, and isn't even that effective. Am I the only one who thinks this is dangerous and crazy?
    2
  12629. That vulnerability needs to be exploited, and the bridge properly finished off once and for all!

  12632. Years ago most people would be deeply ashamed to claim they have mental health problems. Now it seems that almost everybody is only to happy to play this "get out of jail" card. Shit happens, and we all have our ups and downs. But people with character man up and ride it out with a stiff upper lip. Yes I'm angry. I'm angry at how much people claiming mental health problems are bleeding the resources of a badly stretched NHS.
    2
  12633. Most of those in self-isolation are work shy cowards who got tests of their own free will, just to have an excuse not to do the job they are paid to do. They disgust me!
    2
  12634. As other posters have pointed out we are silenced on many things. Here are just a few that YouTube goes the extra mile to shut people up about: 1. Questioning the safety of Covid vaccines: yes even now. 2. Suggesting legitimate ,effective ways to deal with illegal migration. 3. Supportive comments for Ukraine. 4. Supportive comments for Israel. I won't be surprised if this comment is quickly deleted by YouTube.
    2
  12635. I've absolutely no sympathy for most who have been injured by these poorly tested vaccines, apart from innocent children. Covid-19 has only ever posed a serious threat to well under 1%, and those who have had it have excellent natural immunity. Therefore most people should never have queued up, like sheep at an abattoir, to get injected with something that big pharma was promised there would be come back on if anything went wrong. Surely that "get out of jail" card should have given people pause for thought.
    2
  12636. With fighting age men in Russia fleeing the country, those in annexed regions will most definitely get their call-up papers, and very quickly. The are precisely where Putin wants his cannon fodder to be.
    2
  12637. All these panicking fools need to take a look at how many children die in the UK everyday. We are seeing a gross over-reaction to a miniscule number of deaths, in relation to the number of infections. However if antibiotics are handed out in the classroom like sweeties then we WILL see an antibiotic strain of Strep A evolve, and then we will see far more deaths!

    2
  12642. Hopefully there were some Orcs in those tanks.
    2
  12643. The whole point of this is to make people immune, therefore "listening to the science" would dictate that everyone who has natural immunity should also be exempt. This can be tested for. We can test for antibodies, or in those who no longer have antibodies we can now test for things like memory B and T cells. So other than wanting to needlessly jab (and put at risk with a vaccine that isn't 100% safe) these people there is no valid reason why they should not enjoy the same exemption.
    2
  12644. The so-called "war on drugs" is probably the best example of stubborn persistence in the face of strong contradictory evidence. I wonder if it ever occurred to the geniuses that enact theses laws that if drugs weren't illegal the price would plummet so low that it wouldn't be worthwhile manufacturing them and pushing them.

  12645. Don't accept any glowing cups of tea from strangers!

  12646. Mad dog Putin has publicly set a deadline to deliver by 9th May. It very important that this is prevented, so that he is very badly and publicly humiliated.
    2
  12647. They also systematically misled most people on how dangerous Covid was (an IFR of just 0.3% or less), and of the need for vaccination: natural immunity was over 10 times better and much longer lasting (maybe for life).
    2
  12648. There's always been a lot of opposition to this war, but expressing it can be seriously damaging to a Russian's health.

  12650. BB, who do you think deserves jail more? Someone paying pedophiles for images of abused children, or someone who made a heat of the moment tweet that they didn't really mean? The argument for not jailing Edwards is that he doesn't pose any danger to people. Surely this same argument applies to the tweeters and those who just attended the riots: perhaps even more so. If memory serves me right Lord Denning is reputed to have said: "I promise to give you a ruling in accordance with British law, but I cannot promise to give you justice".

  12656. The crisis is that France has a dictator for a president. In a properly functioning democracy you have to persuade most MPs to vote in legislation. If you can't then you have to modify or abandon it. You DON'T force it through like some tyrannical despot. At the very least the pension reform needs to be withdrawn. It might be better still if Herr Macron stepped down.

  12661. Correction, doctor. Transmissibility is reduced by AT LEAST 67%. The PCR test is incredibly sensitive. It can pick up extremely low levels of antigen. So there's a good chance that many of the remaining 33% harboured levels too low to transmit the virus to others. There's also an excellent chance that the antigens detected were very transient and that the virus would be very quickly eliminated by the immune system. There are far too many people, especially in Downing Street, that are determined to see any glass as less than half full.

  12662. When military aircraft deliberately infringe your airspace you SHOOT THEM DOWN. It's certainly what China would do, and not doing so sends a very dangerous message to China.

  12666. Look at the number of MPs present. It shows the utter contempt they have for the people of the UK, whom they assured that the "vaccine" was very safe, would be of significant benefit to them, and that their own natural immunity (which was very good after having Covid) wouldn't protect them. But even worse there was a strong element of coercion. Now 99% of MPs want to sweep any problems under the carpet.
    2
  12667. Long overdue! Now people in Moscow can get a tiny taste of what those in Kyiv have had to suffer with. I hope we will see many more, and much more damaging, attacks on Moscow. And let's throw in St. Petersburg for good measure.

  12668. The trouble is that the only alternative Americans are being offered is Biden, who appears to be losing more of his mental faculty with every passing day. For the sake of America, and indeed the world, BOTH parties desperately need to choose new leaders.

  12669. Well, she's right about the damage the sanctions are causing. Russia has already had its financial rating downgraded, and while it managed to service a debt a couple of days ago it's highly unlikely it will manage the next one, which will reduce it's rating to that of the poorest banana republic.

  12671. Three things are now absolutely certain: 1. This virus kills well under 1%. It's not a ravenous lion, it's a well fed pussy cat. 2. Those who are young are at negligible risk from covid-19. 3. Those (over 99%) who recover then have natural immunity. Very large and well regarded studies indicate that this immunity could last a lifetime, and be 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. Those who genuinely need vaccination should have it available, with boosters until they feel like a pin cushion. The rest of us need to be left alone to get on with our lives!
    2
  12672. As ever the search continues for how to put a new spin on the scaremongering, as people get wise to the old lies. Notice the word MAY. An excuse to keep robbing people of their freedom and liberty. Remember the LIES about those who recover from covid-19 not having long term immunity. Those of us who weren't gullible sheep knew this was likely to be crap. And indeed it has now been irrefutably proved that even those who had asymptomatic illness ARE now immune. I don't know who to have more contempt for, the lying scaremongers, or the morons who believe them.
    2
  12673. Thousands could indeed have been saved if instead of having insane lockdowns, that over 99% didn't need, there had been a focus on the relatively few who were most at risk. AND several recent and reputable studies have concluded that the lockdowns were completely ineffective!

  12676. The quivering cowards are like superstitious medieval peasants who thought that plagues were the work of witches. So they burnt a few old women. The plagues continued. Therefore they burnt a few more old women. Plague still there: obviously haven't burnt enough old women. Even the most mentally challenged should by now be able to work out that lockdowns and restrictions don't work. Right at the start eminent experts, from around the world, told the government that none of this crap would work. They recommended just isolating the most vulnerable until NATURAL herd immunity developed. This advice was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, for all to see. It has now been conclusively proved that natural immunity is both mush better and longer lasting than vaccination: it may well last a lifetime. The advice in the GBD was/is the ONLY sensible strategy! By the way. All those mask lovers should note that research has shown that while proper surgical masks might provide some hinderance to the spread of the virus, the masks worn by the overwhelming majority are ABSOLUTELY USELESS: it's just propaganda.

But brain development is much more active in children, so robbing them of school time is a very serious concern. You are certainly right about the best minds not getting into the highest positions. One just has to look at our PM and cabinet ministers, and Dominic Cummings. As for your complaint about lack of reasoned arguments, this is as much true, if not more so, for the policies pursued by most governments. You say what the declaration is calling for is an experiment, but Sweden, which in very large measure has adopted this approach, indicates that it's likely to be a successful one. What we certainly do know is that most governments' lockdown experiments have been abysmal failures. The virus has come roaring back, and on top of that they have buggered their economies to hell, and are still buggering them even more. Well that's my thoughts. I'm off to sign the declaration.

  12689. Were crowds paid, like extras in a movie, to put on the reception, or were they and their kids threatened?
    2
  12690. Really good news, and getting better by the day! Hopefully Omicron will make up close to 100% within a few days, and infect many times more people. This EXTREMELY MILD variant has the very real potential to SAFELY and PROPERLY immunise people, and finally put an end to this pandemic. Its spread is to be celebrated, not feared.
    2
  12691. Those sparsely populated, or even uninhabited, Scottish islands are just begging to have tents or nissen huts erected on them. But why would Sunak want to save the taxpayers shed loads of money, and provide a REAL DETERRENT? These ILLEGALS deserve nice tropical Rwanda, Ascension Island, or barges fitted out with all the comforts many can only dream of.
    2
  12692. This is going to inflame people so much that eventually violence will erupt towards such migrants!
    2
  12693. For men! In general men who are married live longer, BUT women have a shorter life. Same old story that's been going on for millennia. Woman and girls scarified to improve the lot of men. You also see it in schools. Girls in all girls schools do better, but boys in mixed schools do better.
    2
  12694. Love it! But don't forget that 7th Jan is the Orcs' Christmas, and to give them plenty of presents on that day.
    2
  12695. This division is EXACTLY what Putin is counting on. You don't fight among yourselves until you have defeated a far worse common enemy!
    2
  12696. Now waiting for the TACO to claim he can end this war in 24 hours.
    2
  12697. Do the idiots that want to let these people into Australia even stop to think why neighbouring Arab Muslim countries won't let them in?
    2
  12698. The ONLY thing Trump's tariffs have done so far is depress American stocks. It's hard to argue that Americans are now richer as a result of this.
    2
  12699.  @dragonrln  6ft down would be nice!
    2
  12700. Do Russians really not realise that their so-called leader is now an incontinent nut job?
    2
  12701. Si vous soutenez Poutine, vous méritez amplement tout ce qui vous arrive !
    2
  12702. Russia uses mercenaries, like the Nazi Wagner group. Foreign fighters in Ukraine are doing it not for money but out of conviction, and at considerable cost to themselves.
    2
  12703. Most of them are really enjoying being able to exercise their inner Gestapo.
    2
  12704. Tim, I have to take issue with your comment at 3:10. That massive Israeli study demonstrated that there was no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating those who already have natural immunity. Vaccinating kids, who are at incredibly low risk is bad enough, but vaccinating kids who are already immune is truly heinous. Your comment about recent infection is also inaccurate. It's now very well established that natural immunity is long term: possibly for life. Antibody levels may drop, but those memory B and T cells cause them to shoot up again if they are needed. As for "bad reactions" they are much more common in those who have been infected, and hence didn't need to be vaccinated!
    2
  12705. A lot of those who hate us are in Downing Street and Parliament.
    2
  12706. Derailing the train would be much easier: you don't even need to blow up the track or put something right across it, which would be easily visible. There are thousands of miles at which to do it, and you need very little equipment. Chose a suitable spot and there's a really good chance of killing the passengers.
    2
  12707. I wonder if that climate activist owns a car? The uncomfortable truth of the matter is that if we could massively reduce private car ownership then it would be vastly more beneficial than making a fuss over aviation.
    2
  12708. Or Iran!
    2
  12709.  @alanwatterson2850  And you can be sure there were no secret sites?
    2
  12710. That's because government thinks it can employ cheap code monkeys to write its systems, instead of top notch software developers.
    2
  12711. If only we had had 0.5% rate rises, instead of piddling 0.25% rises, earlier then people might get the message. Which is: you demand higher wages, then your mortgages will go up even faster, and if companies put up their prices then the cost of their borrowing will rise even faster. Inflation must be stopped, because there are millions who aren't in a position to demand higher wages or put up prices and get left behind in even greater poverty.
    2
  12712. Most certainly, but I'm not holding my breath.
    2
  12713. Don't forget that the Russians, who were helping Assad, also have a long tradition (22,000 at Katyn) of committing such atrocities, so they might well be responsible for some of this.
    2
  12714. Yes, training is needed, but there are a couple of months to go before spring. Everyone expected Ukraine to fall within a week or too, so I wouldn't count them out just yet. Notice, with the announcement of lots of tanks, how the Putin fanboys are crawling out of the woodwork, and working extra hard to earn their daily banana allowance.
    2
  12715. It's way past time that ALL restrictions were lifted. Yes we will always get the very rare hospitalisation and death, but for the overwhelming majority it's game over for this virus in the UK. We can't keep buggering up the economy and young people's education, and mental health, just for a really tiny number of people, or to keep the craven snowflakes happy.
    2
  12716. This seems to be the same the world over. Teachers terrified of doing an honest days work.
    2
  12717. This is like something that the Nazis used to to. Far from de-Nazifying the Ukraine Putin has imported thousands of them!
    2
  12718. This Hamas loving woman doesn't belong in Australia, and ought to bugger off to somewhere she will feel more at home in. Maybe the backwaters of Pakistan, where they will murder you for so-called blasphemy, would suit her.
    2
  12719. I think one can say with near certainty that this will only end when Putin is "removed" from power.
    2
  12720. Sunak knows that Suella spoke the TRUTH, and most of us are in full agreement with what she said.
    2
  12721. Long overdue!
    2
  12722. I'd rather see a new Tory PM every week than put Starmer and his witless cronies into No.10.
    2
  12723. I'll tell you who isn't looking out for you. The self-serving, corrupt Irish politicians, who have sold the Irish people down the river. What this 15 year-old girl is describing is horrendous and unacceptable.
    2
  12724. Well, if there's one think the government was very successful at it was sacring a lot of people sh*tless. Just look at how many wore (totally useless, as has now been established) masks and avoided others. Then we have countless millions of fools who took an experimental vaccine that they absolutely did not need.
    2
  12725. I think that this is wishful thinking, because someone like Kadyrov wouldn't first make his feelings and intentions known. He would simply unexpectedly waste Putin.
    2
  12726. Reform UK could be celebrating a similar victory in a few days, if British voters set aside their cowardice and vote for who they really want. And we are going to really need Reform UK to stop the illegals stampeding across the channel to avoid deportation from France.
    2
  12727. I doubt Putin by himself has enough Orcs left to open another front. If Belarusian troops join him there won't be enough left to keep their Fat Dictator in power: and there's a good chance he will be taken out and lynched.
    2
  12728. I bet the BBC doesn't want Israel to win.
    2
  12729. Half a million? And the rest! Rich boy Rishi has CHEATED millions of poor OAPs out of their "triple lock" pension rise, and they will now be getting well below the rate of inflation. Even without having Sunak STEAL what they are entitled to, a great many OAPs would have really suffered!
    2
  12730. Good to hear. Russian collaborators better escape across the Kerch Bridge while it's still there.
    2
  12731. It will stop once winter comes!
    2
  12732. We have a fair number of BENT lawyers who have committed CRIMINAL offences that merit time in JAIL. But I'll be very surprised if Braverman does anything more than just huff and puff. I'm definitely not expecting to see any evil lawyers spending quality time in a private cell with Bubba.
    2
  12733. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  12734. The government never followed the REAL experts, they followed the SAGE charlatans. The real experts, who subsequently drafted the Great Barrington Declaration, were unanimous in their condemnation of lockdowns. Their advice was to ONLY isolate the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity developed. With every passing day it becomes harder to deny that this advice was/is spot on!
    2
  12735. I doubt if he even remembers what country he is president of.
    2
  12736. Am I the only one wondering why Ukraine seems to have made no effort, in the last few years, to target Russia's energy infrastructure?
    2
  12737. Dr. Mengele is alive and well and running the MHRA! Let's see now: 1. There's a small risk of blood clots with the Astra Zeneca vaccine. 2. There's a small risk of heart inflammation with the Pfizer vaccine. 3. The risk posed by covid-19 to almost all 12 to 15-year-olds is negligible. One of the most basic ETHICS of medicine is that you do not treat a patient unless the benefits of that treatment to the patient (not someone else) significantly outweigh the risk to them. This is most certainly not the case here! The question is do British parents love their kids enough to refuse this vaccination? Because they certainly didn't love them enough to even put up a small fight for their education and mental health.
    2
  12738. This is a golden opportunity to take out Rocket Man, and it will be squandered. You don't have to blow up a train or the tracks. You simply clamp (and superglue) some strips of iron to the same side of each track. You put the clamps on the underside of the track so that they are very hard to spot. Derailment is often very effective at killing people, especially if done at a suitable location.
    2
  12739. Very nicely done, but only half done. Let's make Putin cry for a week, and use some of those Storm Shadows to damage the other half of his beloved Kerch bridge so that it's completely uncrossable.
    2
  12740. NATO's position may well already be far stronger than several decades ago. This is because Russia no longer has the Warsaw Pact countries and Baltic countries to use as cannon fodder. In fact, even worse for Russia, many of these are now part of NATO. So, in any conflict its going to be Russians, rather than others, that bleed and die.
    2
  12741. He could also chill out on a tropical beach in Goa.
    2
  12742. What's just as despicable is Kier Starmer trying to fob people off by telling them that this is all down to "far-right thugs". The overwhelming cause is illegal immigration, inappropriate immigration, and two-tier policing that gives certain groups carte blanche to do as they damn well like. The vast majority of Brits know that this is true. Are we all wrong and Kier Starmer the only one right?
    2
  12743. Actually there's no good reason why nitrogen can't be used to kill the birds instead of carbon dioxide. While it might not kill them quite as quickly, it would probably be a lot more humane!
    2
  12744. All decent people in the world, who have heard about this, are in a celebratory mood.
    2
  12745. When YouTube bots pull your post for suggesting the most likely cause of these excess deaths you have a good idea why they aren't being discussed. Thanks to YouTube and very heavy censorship by other MSM most people aren't even aware of them: which is exactly what governments want. Isn't it amazing how deaths were ascribed to Covid on the flimsiest of evidence, but much stronger evidence for excess deaths is being ignored: nay vigorously suppressed.
    2
  12746. Looking also at Jacinda in NZ, and Sunak in the UK, to name but two, it never ceases to amaze me how many complete and utter imbeciles get voted into government. Oz is far from alone in this.
    2
  12747. As long as it's not the complete and utter toadies, the more decent Tory MPs that join Reform UK, the better its chance of actually winning the general election: and their chance of keeping their seats.
    2
  12748. At my age nightclubs would be one of my seven circles of hell. However, I did enjoy them when I was young. Those cheering on lockdowns and restrictions are totally selfish cowards, who should be ashamed of themselves. I would never dream of stealing young peoples lives from them, just to minutely reduce the covid-19 risk to myself.
    2
  12749. Mais Putin est un lâche!
    2
  12750. It will unless the Georgian people are prepared to fight for their freedom.
    2
  12751. Pathetic. This just shows you how desperate Psycho Putin is getting. Like a lot of animals he is hoping that putting on a display and making a lot of noise will frighten his opponents.
    2
  12752. Am I the only one guessing that these criminals aren't going to be given much of a choice about whether they go off and fight. I'm picturing the criminal in a soundproof room with a few of Putin's FSB thugs presenting him with a contract to sign.
    2
  12753. It's a Russian MoD video, so what do you expect.
    2
  12754. There are no shortage of Putin fanboys who think exactly like this.
    2
  12755. As Nuremberg taught us "I was just following orders" is no excuse!
    2
  12756. Great if you are one of the places he buys his food at.
    2
  12757. Braverman is correct, but when you've got a cowardly loser for a PM would you really expect him to come up with something bold and innovative?
    2
  12758. A mentally disturbed girl who needs to be championing some cause in order to justify her pathetic existence.
    2
  12759. Early release, for good behaviour, for the can wielder?
    2
  12760. Roast well!
    2
  12761. Like a lemming turning around to his mates and urging them to follow him over the cliff.
    2
  12762. And why is there a surge of flu cases? Well some recent, and reputable, research seems to indicate that these mRNA vaccines, that about 95% of people never needed, may be damaging people's immune response.
    2
  12763. So an EXTREMELY MILD variant that isn't killing people or putting them in hospital, but just bestowing PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY upon them. No wonder so many governments are terrified of this variant.
    2
  12764. Ukraine urgently needs to be given missiles with enough range to devastate every Russian naval base on the Black Sea: that includes all those on the Russian mainland.
    2
  12765. Lavrov's argument is that of a bullying troll, who claims to have been threatened when someone said that they would fight back in equal measure if they were attacked first. Europe will not be bullied by a cowardly little man and his Hammer Horror sidekick.
    2
  12766. Für Putin ist es ein Zahlenspiel. Er sieht gerne zu, dass zehn seiner Soldaten sterben, um einen Ukrainer zu töten. Deshalb ist es so wichtig, dass die NATO Bodentruppen entsendet, damit das russische Volk versteht, dass diese Taktik nicht funktionieren wird.
    2
  12767. Most illegal working could easily be detected and punished IF the government actually had the will to do so!
    2
  12768. It's very likely that most of those unvaccinated nurses and doctors have had covid-19, and now have NATURAL IMMUNITY. This immunity has been unequivocally proven to be much better, and longer lasting (maybe a lifetime) than what one gets from these poorly tested vaccines. The government denying this won't make it go away. These doctors and nurses have probably made an informed medical decision not to risk these vaccines, and some idiot minister with a classics or PPE degree isn't going to change their mind.
    2
  12769. I'm guessing that the perpetrators probably aren't a whiter shade of pale.
    2
  12770. Exactly! Don't hold your breath on any arrests and decent sentencing. We all know that FGM, forced under-age marriage, and abusing young white girls, is legal in the UK as long as you belong to certain ethnic groups and a certain religion.
    2
  12771. Well one thing is now absolutely certain. Labour don't give a toss about them. BlowJob's and Hancock's insane, and unnecessary, lockdowns and tier restrictions are crucifying the working class. Yet Labour are enthusiastically supporting them. Why? Because they only care about getting into power, and they are hoping to win the next election by giving the government enough rope to hang themselves. That they will hang millions of others first doesn't bother Labour in the slightest.
    2
  12772. "Trafficked by a Canadian spy" sounds as likely as her claiming that Mohamed sent his horse down from heaven to give her a ride to Syria.
    2
  12773. It's hard to be sure exactly what the situation is in Soledar. However, what one can say with absolute certainty is that Russia hardly ever tells the truth. Just look at the pathetic lie, a few days ago, that they had killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers.
    2
  12774. Am I the only one who would like to take a really good look at Angela Rayner's and Diane Abbott's WhatsApp messages over the last few years?
    2
  12775. Cases are high, boo-hoo. The vast majority of them will recover without any suffering at all, AND they will then be immune, not needing any vaccine. This virus is only a big deal because a lot of Nancy boys have chosen to make a mountain out of a molehill. These thorough tests , in which no shortcuts were taken, didn't pick up the possibility of anaphylactic shock, due to an allergic reaction, which can sometimes kill. Makes you wonder what other adverse side effects might have been missed, especially long term ones. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my vaccines to have spent a few years in phase 3 trials.
    2
  12776. What Leighton should remember is that this cuts both ways. Russia's supplies are also being depleted. In fact stripping off the nuclear warheads of cruise missiles and then launching what's left reeks of desperation.
    2
  12777. You can see how frustrated Dr. Campbell is about YouTube not allowing him to even mention mRNA. They have also gone after several other doctors who had the temerity to suggest that we should look into the safety of these vaccines.
    2
  12778. The only people who support inheritance tax are those seething with envy, and the looney lefties. Tax is paid on what people earn, and on most of what they buy. So everything they have has already been taxed. Inheritance tax is a totally evil and unjust tax that would be scrapped if we had honest, decent governments!
    2
  12779. This girl gets arrested. Women at a peaceful vigil, not inconveniencing anyone, for a woman raped and murdered by one of the police's own, get wrongfully arrested. Yet the likes of Just Stop Oil are allowed to illegally block our roads.
    2
  12780. Well, Austria's about to lock them down, so maybe it's time for another Anschluss. Tattoos and yellow stars all round?
    2
  12781. Hold the line Australia otherwise what's happened to Sweden, Ireland, and is happening to the UK, will happen to you.
    2
  12782.  @tz3841  A conservative estimate is that 37,000 of Putin's Orcs have been eradicated.
    2
  12783. Russia has thousands of miles of gas and oil pipelines, and it can't possibly protect all of them. As soon as Putin started targeting Ukraine's grain Ukraine should have started blowing up its pipelines. If Russia had suffered consequences for what it did it would have done a lot less, but it has been allowed to commit countless war crimes with total impunity.
    2
  12784. Does anyone honestly believe that the police would have accepted the excuse of a "business meeting" if this had happened elsewhere? Hardly a day goes by without another breach of their own rules coming to light. Yet this government has the audacity to contemplate screwing up people's Christmas yet again, for a variant that we all know is EXTREMELY MILD.
    2
  12785. Very nice. It's a pity the Orcs manning it got away. Who would have thought that Orcs could run so fast.
    2
  12786.  @fatbobe1986  Far more than 10%. Bed wetting snowflakes ALWAY lie!
    2
  12787. Cowards, like Hamas who they support. I bet the police mad no arrests regarding this.
    2
  12788. ​@cheeky chops 1 Agreed. We would then have a vastly different list.
    2
  12789. ​@Richard Goble I hear Grant Shapps is an expert in the art.
    2
  12790. Taiwan urgently needs to make it very clear that it will vigorously defend its independence. Ideally it needs to make sure that most ordinary mainland Chinese know that 23.5 million will fight to their last breath. If it doesn't do this then we are probably looking at the build up to another Ukraine type invasion. One good way of PROVING this resolution is to take out military craft entering its airspace or territorial waters.
    2
  12791. The Russian parliament ought to be taking note!
    2
  12792. For many years both Labour and the Tories have been screwing nurses and doctors, letting the value of what they are paid keep decreasing. Sooner or later there was bound to be a reckoning and this is it. Have a look at how easy it is for doctors and nurses (and dentists) to emigrate to countries like the US, Canada, and Australia, and the kind of remuneration they will receive there. Then, unless you can afford to go private, you will be very worried.
    2
  12793. Agreed! More wokism by the BBC.
    2
  12794. "Do the government take on the JCVI's eminent immunologists and virologists?" Hang on this rings a bell. Right at the beginning didn't an international group of very eminent immunologists and virologists warn that lockdowns wouldn't work and would just inflict incredible damage. Didn't they advise simply isolating the most vulnerable, until herd immunity developed, or until there was a vaccine just for them. But the morons in Downing Street thought they could get away with just a short lockdown. Then when this didn't work they decided that more of the same, plus rushed through vaccines were the answer. To keep everybody in line they grossly exaggerated the risk that covid-19 poses; it kills well under 1%. And they denied natural immunity. What the government was told was subsequently published, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration, and with everyday that passes it becomes clearer that this was/is the right course of action. There is absolutely no doubt that covid-19 kills well under 1%, and several very large studies have shown that natural immunity is vastly superior to vaccine induced immunity. As the last few months are clearly showing, these vaccines effectiveness, in stark contrast to natural immunity, is rapidly waning. But once again the government's response is more of the same: a THIRD booster shot. It doesn't take a genius to see where this is heading: booster shots every few months. God only knows what this might do to people's immune systems, but the government doesn't care. The message to take home from all this is the government only listens to the experts when they tell them to do what they already intended to do. Unless people are prepared to stand up and fight then the government ARE coming after your kids. When they have finished with your 12 to 15 year old kids, be under absolutely no illusion, they WILL go after your younger kids too!
    2
  12795. There is little doubt that if Ukraine falls Putin will definitely make a move against other Baltic countries. This is why it's so important that he fails: and hopefully gets "removed" from power.
    2
  12796. Very worrying. He could have been injecting vaccine into the food.
    2
  12797.  @DM-vs4ye  Not too bright, are you?
    2
  12798. We can't allow life to be endlessly disrupted because some scaremonger tells us that a new bad-ass variant "might" come along in the future. Omicron has now given millions more people PROPER immunity, which unlike vaccination will very likely protect them against future variants. It's way past time we started ignoring, or even shouting down, the scaremongers and snowflakes, and got back to the "old" normal.
    2
  12799. Whatever TTK says, the truth is that Labour doesn't want to smash these gangs or stop the boats.
    2
  12800. Imagine who many PROPERLY QUALIFIED doctors and nurses could be employed with this money.
    2
  12801. ​ @taffyterrier  I don't know about that, but I'd have to admit that the specialist who fixed my hernia (privately) was Indian. As was the doctor who performed the caesarian, 66 years ago, that brought me into this world.
    2
  12802. If I said what I'd like to do to these judges my comment would be removed.
    2
  12803. Right at the start the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, told government that lockdowns would not work, but would cause a very large amount of damage. About 6 months later these REAL experts published the Great Barrington Declaration, which was signed by 1000s of scientists. Like willful naughty children, the government deliberately ignored the REAL experts. Several highly reputable subsequent studies have now concluded that the insanely damaging lockdowns were INEFFECTIVE!
    2
  12804. Zahawi is worried that teachers will also tell students the truth about him. Because, let's be honest, the last few education ministers (Gove, Williamson, and Zahawi) have been complete and utter w@nkers. Indeed, I now suspect that it's a job requirement for education ministers.
    2
  12805. More of the same please. I never tire of seeing these invading Nazi Russians getting their arses kicked.
    2
  12806. The none too bright TACO is putting the cart before the horse. Involvement is precisely what will make toppling this regime more likely.
    2
  12807. I just hope there were lots of Orcs guarding it when it went up.
    2
  12808. Let me see now. A variant that South African doctors have characterised as EXTREMELY MILD, and which hasn't killed anyone, is about to become dominant. Call me a simpleton or a pervert, but a far less dangerous variant taking over seems like exceedingly good news. Even better is the very real possibility that it could put an end to this pandemic by rapidly and SAFELY conferring PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions. Well I suppose it's not good news if you have shares in big pharma, or are a despotic government that doesn't want people to loose their fear of covid-19.
    2
  12809. To most of us, this will conjure up images of Jews being put on trains by the Nazis!
    2
  12810. Correct! If Putin isn't beaten in Ukraine he will definitely attack other Baltic states, and maybe even former Warsaw pact countries.
    2
  12811. Putin has spent years stamping out democracy in Russia: using ricin, nerve agents, and Polonium.
    2
  12812. As others have said, it's way past time to end all this cowardly snowflake nonsense.
    2
  12813. How thick do you have to be to think that Putin cares about you? He only cares about himself.
    2
  12814. I've just made a very similar comment.
    2
  12815.  @ByddinRhyddidCymru  It doesn't logically follow that it wouldn't be even worse under Labour.
    2
  12816. I hear a lot of Hezbollah are now having gender identity issues.
    2
  12817. Most of us who aren't selfish snowflakes would respect BJ far more if he did indeed say this. Better a few more dead than millions losing their jobs and kids having their education and mental health destroyed.

  12818. I don't know whether it's YouTube or the UK media doing the censoring. But for something so major there's relatively little reporting and commenting from the UK news outlets.
    2
  12819. Not could, but will, UNLESS Erdogan is successful in the many dirty and illegal tricks he will no doubt try in order to cling on to power. There's a very good reason his opponents wear bullet proof vests!
    2
  12820. Honourable MPs should get up and walk out of the House every time Hancock gets up to speak, and should refuse to engage with him at all.
    2
  12821. Unless you are one of the relatively few people who are at high risk from covid-19 you would have to be stark raving mad to take the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines! It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES!
    2
  12822. If Starmer honestly believes that there can be a lasting peace before Iran is declawed and defanged then he is even less bright than most of us already take him to be. Note that I deliberately said "honestly" rather than "really".
    2
  12823. For decades successive governments have been NEGLIGENT in their DUTY to protect the UK from illegal immigration. We don't need to spend vast sums sending these dinghy boys to Rwanda. They have clearly come from France so just take them and their boats back and dump them in the water as close to France as the French or their territorial waters allow. That will certainly be a deterrent.
    2
  12824.  @decrulez  Fun fact. Most pensioners have spent their entire working life paying taxes to fund their pension.
    2
  12825.  @wiebleydawg7353  Exactly!
    2
  12826. Great to hear. Europe, and other freedom loving nations, also needs to keep up the supply of weapons, until the Orcs are all killed or driven out of Ukraine.
    2
  12827. Is anyone at all surprised that Hamas is stealing aid from the starving women and children that it proports to represent and support?
    2
  12828. I can't think of any other vaccine where people have ended up having 4 shots within a year. The strategy seems to be to keep people's antibody count sky high. This is extremely worrying as, with a billion years of evolution behind it, this is NOT how our immune system deals with things. Could it be that within those billion years this approach was tried, but dropped because very bad things happened?
    2
  12829. Arresting Jews for calling Hamas terrorists, and protecting paedophiles, seems to be all our police are any good for these days.

  12830. If we need to make extra prison space by getting some prisoners out of jail then, to anyone other than a half-wit MP, it makes perfect sense to DEPORT the foreign ones.

  12831. The simple truth that most parents and trendy teachers (who can't really teach) don't want voiced.

  12832. Biden needs to do what's best for America, and indeed the world, and hand over the reins to his vice president. If he were honest with himself he would recognise that he IS in the early stages of dementia: which will only get worse.
    2
  12833. Putin looks at how the US withdrew from Vietnam, and how we all withdrew from Afghanistan. He is also expecting Trump to become president and pull the plug on aid for Ukraine. Democratic governments unfortunately have to deal with fickle electorates, and most people are very bad at looking further ahead then the end of their nose, and don't understand the dire consequences of Putin winning in Ukraine.

  12834. Eh bien, si Poutine a dit qu'il était désolé, alors je suppose que la perte de l'avion et de toutes ces vies est acceptable

  12835. "about respect" Snowflakes and the woke don't deserve any respect.

  12836.  @pauljohnson1664  Bed-wetters like Susan will never admit the panic was wrong, and make up figures to support their cowardice.

  12837. Imagine how much easier it would be to coerce people into taking a very poorly tested "vaccine" if there is no cash and you can freeze all their credit and debit cards.
    2
  12838. Neither of these two university lecturers have bona fide STEM degrees, so they depend on gullible teenagers going to university, for a Noddy degree, to keep lectures like themselves off the streets. The vast majority of degrees are a complete waste of time and money. STEM degrees at a decent university are usually a good investment, but the vast majority would be better finding an honest job.

  12839. They may deny it publicly, but both the BBC and Labour strongly approve of what Vylan did.

  12840. If only bombs could have been dropped on yesterday's Red Square parade.

  12841. Ukraine has set up a 24/7 surrender hotline, so they have a choice.

  12842. Certain non-western migrants, like the Chinese and Vietnamese are absolutely fine. We all know that it's those that harbour a particular religious belief that are a massive problem. But we aren't allowed to say this.
    2
  12843. Ever since Margaret Thatcher ceased to be the Tory leader the party has been a pathetic joke. Unfortunately Labour was already, and still is. People with intelligence voted Reform UK in the general election. Now even the stupid know that this is what they should have done.
    2
  12844. The Azov regiment have shown themselves to be extremely brave and courageous men, of which all Ukraine can be very proud.
    2
  12845. If you were French why on earth would you make an effort to keep illegal immigrants you don't want in France? I'll bet that Macron and most of his population are wishing the dingy boys Bon Voyage.
    2
  12846. Come on, this is complete scaremongering crap, designed purely to give the Downing Street Dictators an excuse to prolong lockdown. And in a few weeks they will find yet another excuse. For a virus that kills about 1 in 1000, and has an IFR of just 0.3%, the vulnerability figures simply don't stack up. There's absolutely no way this country has anywhere near the number of vulnerable people that the government would have us believe. People, the government is well and truly taking the piss! Over 15 million of the (supposedly) most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. It's way past time to end all this Chicken Little crap.
    2
  12847. OK, it's not something to celebrate, but think of how many soldiers and how much equipment will be needed to keep that 20%. There are way more Ukrainians willing to fight for their country, than conscripted Russians willing to die for Putin's ego. And countries like the US and UK can be relied upon to replace Ukraine's weapons. No one is going to replace Russia's. So don't lose hope and keep up the just and righteous fight. Every good and decent person in the world supports Ukraine.
    2
  12848. Nah, Putin needs the tampons for his incontinence.
    2
  12849. For the first time ever I voted for Labour when Corbyn was in charge. I would never vote for Starmer!

  12850. Ah, but the BBC knows that Israel did it, and that Hamas is a harmless fluffy kitten.
    2
  12851. I bet your parents are repenting for bringing up someone who believes in fantasy.
    2
  12852. They definitely didn't win the election. They falsified the results!
    2
  12853. After Putin's latest insane TV broadcast about nuking London, Paris and Berlin, the US needs to make it crystal clear to the Russian people that if their insane leader resorts to nuclear weapons then Moscow and other major Russian cities will be taken out immediately!
    2
  12854. Brits have a long tradition of electing idiots: and self-serving cowardly ones at that. The last decent PM we had was Margaret Thatcher. She may well have been the only PM to have had a proper degree. She had a degree in chemistry, and had been a research chemist prior to entering politics.
    2
  12855. Here's what you need to know. If you never took any of the Covid vaccines then you almost certainly have had Covid, and developed excellent natural immunity that will protect you against this strain.
    2
  12856. Isn't it amazing how these drones that have nowhere near the range required to fly all the way from Ukraine end up in the skies over Moscow. Of course, it's unthinkable that Putin's own FSB goons would launch drones against their own people in order to bolster Putin's dwindling support.
    2
  12857. I wonder how many of those idiots packing the motorway have done the maths. Using public transport would probably be a lot cheaper for most of them: and definitely a lot less stressful.
    2
  12858. What a wasted opportunity to save their sons' lives. There were easily enough mothers there to jump, overpower, and kill Putin.
    2
  12859. Actually, if it were up to me, I'd have encouraged the protests, a few months ago, by sending in some special ops teams to take out as many high ranking clerics and Revolutionary Guard goons as possible.
    2
  12860. It would be a lot higher than 33% if YouTube, and other mainstream media, didn't go the extra mile in removing comments that question the vaccine's safety!
    2
  12861. Due to Witless Whitty's totally unjustified scaremongering and BAD advice countless jobs and businesses have been destroyed. Our young people have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. If ever there was a case of adding insult to injury this must be it. Many millions of people in the UK are going to find this knighthood deeply offensive!
    2
  12862. Exactly. And also to St. Petersburg. If each attack on Ukraine had been followed by a similar attack on Russian cities then they would have stopped a long time ago.
    2
  12863. If only we could ditch this government too. I'd happily put most of the cabinet up against the wall and shoot them. My only regret would be the cost of the lead.
    2
  12864. Every one of those Palestine protestors that has, or can claim, another nationality should be deported!

  12865. Russian-English dictionary special operation = war redeployed = retreated victim = aggressor
    2
  12866. So, once again covid-19 kills a few very old people, who were also very sick. Sorry, but somehow that doesn't get me gibbering with fear. Also, as these patients were suffering with advanced dementia, their deaths were a great mercy for them and their families.
    2
  12867.  @gawelszczytkowski1991  My father was one of them. He was caught crossing from German occupied Poland to Russian occupied Poland, and saw many of those he was with die in his Siberian workcamp. My mother told me that years later he would still wake up screaming from nightmares. I'm almost in tears writing this.
    2
  12868. The UK has become a true Sodom and Gomorrah. A cowardly and selfish society that wants to administer treatments to children, that are of no benefit to them, on the unproven chance of marginally reducing the risk to those in their 80s and 90s. Shameful beyond words!
    2
  12869. There are vastly more accounts of horrible violent crimes committed by people who have drunk too much. Allowing alcohol consumption, while criminalising weed, lsd, magic mushrooms, and

  12870. I'm sure she will be able to sway some of those who get a panic attack if they think they will miss an episode of Love Island or Big Brother.
    2
  12871. Jews living in fear of showing their faces. Where and when did this last happen? After so many brave young men gave their lives fighting against this are we really going to allow certain groups to make this happen again?
    2
  12872. Actually, way past his allotted life span.
    2
  12873. There are lots of American, British and Polish pilots who are eager to fly missions over Ukraine to keep the Ukrainian sky Orc free.
    2
  12874. It's Russia that's getting weakened. I'm waiting for Georgia to make its move and take back the 20% of its territory that Putin stole, because he is now in no position to prevent this.
    2
  12875. Do the selfish cowardly snowflakes ever stop to think of how they would have felt if, when they were young, everything they enjoyed was taken away from them? I now hate nightclubs, but I didn't when I was young, and I don't want to deprive young people of what I was able to enjoy.
    2
  12876. Democracy means having to suck up hearing things you really don't like. It is claimed that Voltaire said something very like: "I detest what you are saying, but I would defend to the death you right to say it"
    2
  12877. Unless it's a matter of national security then ALL government letters should be available to the public.
    2
  12878. I'd like to see security personnel allowed to carry tasers and handcuffs.
    2
  12879. If Russians were smarter they wouldn't have a deranged psychopath, who has killed or maimed about 80,000 of his own people, as "leader".
    2
  12880. Too many people today are very happy to use mental health as a way to excuse their weak or degenerate character. We all have our setbacks, challenges and ups and downs, but people of good character show that stiff upper lip that Brits were once famous throughout the world for. Years ago most people would have been incredibly ashamed and embarrassed to claim that they had mental health issues!
    2
  12881. I think that woman is gagging to have Putin's babies.
    2
  12882. Peace talks with Putin would be as meaningful as Chamberlain's 1938 Munich peace talks with Hitler. For any chance of lasting peace Putin MUST go!
    2
  12883. Cluster munitions have now been in Ukraine for several days. It's time good use was made of them, and we saw some videos of orc trenches being annihilated!
    2
  12884. No! There's a massive difference between "Trump shows" and "Trump says". Every sensible person will reserve judgement until we see him take action.
    2
  12885. I guess the Rocky Horror Show got it wrong. Transvestites aren't at all sweet.

  12886.  @Cannon_Fodder_Russians  Only the top of the ground is harder.

  12887. If Boris thought he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning such a vote then he would have called one.
    2
  12888. ​ @MegaSpideyman  A little yellow book that your vaccine stamps go in. I've got at least 20 in mine including: yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis, polio and rabies. I spent a couple of hours travelling in and out to the BA vaccination centre in Regent Street, and paid for each one. So I don't think anyone could call me an anti-vaxxer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just one of those perverse people that only want to take vaccines I need, and that have been well tested.
    2
  12889. Yet despite Ukraine's heroic efforts, it's reported that the Germans are thinking of withdrawing support.
    2
  12890. As Machiavelli would no doubt have said, you need a rotten army to support a rotten leader.
    2
  12891. You can never give in to blackmail, because once you do it never ends.
    2
  12892. This fool is like the Monty Python knight saying "it's only a flesh wound".
    2
  12893. That's a bit jaw dropping. Maybe next week we will hear about men rinsing out condoms.
    2
  12894. So true. There may be lots of males in Afghanistan, but there are very few men. On the one side you've got those who need to abuse women in order to feel good about themselves, and on the other cowards who when they get sand kicked in their face tell the bully he missed a patch.
    2
  12895. Most of the casualties have been well hidden from the general Russian population. Close relatives might know about the deaths of their own loved ones, but very few Russians have a clue as to the scale of deaths and maimings. Some say this was a major reason for scaled back victory parades, so that all those who had lost someone weren't seen marching.
    2
  12896. While he might enjoy the prize money. Nadal is kidding himself if he really thinks he earned that victory without playing the reigning champion. If, for whatever reason, a champion pulls out then its a fair victory, otherwise it's a complete farce.
    2
  12897. Well Germany now doesn't want to give it to its over 65s, and those younger are not at great risk, so that's one EU that doesn't need it in a hurry.
    2
  12898. How to be a man? You do what you know is right, regardless of what others think about it. It's that simple!
    2
  12899. I wish Hancock was in a body bag.
    2
  12900. Not as well as Ukraine's 1 day special military operation.
    2
  12901. Yes, mad dog Putin has "liberated" lots of defenseless civilians from the burden of living.
    2
  12902. Expect some of the winners to now be arrested on trumped up charges, or simply have "accidents".
    2
  12903. The worst part is that Liz Truss wasn't particularly intelligent, so where does that leave Rachel Reeves.
    2
  12904. Maybe he should go on a fundraising trip to Gaza.
    2
  12905. Isn't it funny how all those responsible for these terrible miscarriages of justice can never recall anything they are accused of? Are we ever going to see these evil people jailed?
    2
  12906. A while back I nicknamed Shapps Worm Tongue, after Tolkien's character. Think of him like that and you will never be surprised or disappointed by what he says.
    2
  12907. He should have also learned to tell the truth!
    2
  12908. I think Ukraine has much more important things to do than breaking an overgrown schoolboy's toy.
    2
  12909. Great news!
    2
  12910. Before we had a few clowns as PM Now we have an evil clown!
    2
  12911. How else does Patrick think that NHS will get the pay and conditions they deserve? MPs don't give a toss because they can afford private care. And most of the public are too short-sighted to give a damn until something happens to them or a loved one. The bottom line in selfish Britain is that if you are a soft touch with a conscience then you will get royally screwed.
    2
  12912. Who needs weight loss drugs when you can watch this video!
    2
  12913. The ONLY reason Emperor Xi wants to see a ceasefire is so that Putin has time to regroup and resupply. If Western resolve and unity can be broken then Xi will have the green light to invade Taiwan.
    2
  12914. When are all these wokes going to understand that simply recruiting whoever can best do the job is never discrimination, whereas doing anything else IS?
    2
  12915. Many who are thinking of voting Labour are only doing so because they have had more than enough of Sunak and his circus. They now need to realise that far from being a "wasted vote" Reform UK stands a very real chance of winning. In fact, the wasted vote is now one for the Conservative party.
    2
  12916. Vous ne savez pas, casser le nez d'une policière est bien moins grave que de tweeter quelques mots blessants dans le feu de l'action?
    2
  12917. Does anyone really care if Prigozhin died? Wagner is no longer attacking Ukraine, and if he is still alive then he is a thorn in Putin's side.
    2
  12918.  @g2m4  From the video I saw of him he must have had a damn good suntan.
    2
  12919.  @medallion39  You aren't very good at maths, are you. Because that would give an IFR of about 0.08%: much lower, so even less of a risk.
    2
  12920. Having observed the thousands of FAILED lockdowns throughout the world, and how wonderfully Sweden has done without any, one would have thought that even the thickest government would have given up on them by now.
    2
  12921. The trouble is that "more time" allows the Orcs to regroup, resupply and dig in. The best time to kick your opponent is when they are down. For the sake of Ukraine let's hope Zelensky doesn't leave the offensive until it's too late!
    2
  12922. Well actually, not really. We don't pay the pension until an older age, but due to rampant ageism, which the courts turn a blind eye to, most people get neither a pension or an appropriate job.
    2
  12923. Its hard to believe that these parents are gullible enough to think Putin gives a damn about their sons.
    2
  12924. If Hamas genuinely cared about the Palestinian people they wouldn't hide behind civilians. But they are cowards, which is why they murdered hundreds of defenceless Israeli women and children, and even babies.

  12925.  @Pilky-Bs2Mc  The waning of immunity does not apply to those with natural immunity, just the vaccinated sheep.

  12926.  @eveleung8855  Cooking with a slow cooker or gas doesn't use that much energy.
    2
  12927. But Putin IS mad!
    2
  12928. As opposed to Whitty's "lockdown to bugger the economy".
    2
  12929. Anyone else think that yet another nasty disease has escaped from a Chinese lab?
    2
  12930. That's the problem with enquiries. They never have the power to jail anyone. All they usually do is make some lawyers richer and give excuses as to why the guilty shouldn't be held accountable. Prosecutions are what's needed. Lots of them, quickly, and also for those who turned a blind eye.
    2
  12931. Well said Joe. Letting Iran get nuclear weapons would be like letting a pack of rabid dogs loose in a Kindergarten. Indeed, I think most of us would like to see a few bunker busting bombs dropped on their nuclear facilities, and would chip in to pay for them.
    2
  12932. Being 66 I had the smallpox vaccine when I was young, which gives good protection against Monkeypox. Sometimes being a bit older has its advantages.
    2
  12933. If Western intelligence agencies are correct, and the Orcs desperately want a respite, and are low on armaments, then there has never been a better time to slaughter them and start driving this infestation out of Ukraine.
    2
  12934. My God, the Russians who make this stuff up are incredibly thick. The aerodynamics make it difficult enough to get a hypersonic missile to a specific area, let alone home in on something as small as a Patriot system.
    2
  12935. No decent person wants to see women and children killed. That's why Israeli and Ukrainian combatants always try to move them out of harm's way, rather than using them as human shields. What happened here is very sad, but would this man tell us if there had been any Hezbollah cowards in the vicinity?
    2
  12936. Please let's stop calling these SAGE scaremongers experts. They have got things badly wrong time and time again. The only thing they are experts at are spreading fear and panic. The honest truth is that there is no strong scientific or statistical data to prove that any variant is more infectious or deadly. Such a hypothesis would most certainly be confidently rejected at the standard 5% significance level. Anyone presenting a variant being worse as fact, rather than weak conjecture, is LYING.
    2
  12937. Well, on the bright side, the hospitality industry, and others, are crying out for staff. The pay is better, and the work is easier. Being a care worker is a sh!t job. You work your balls off for very little remuneration. I'd much rather pull pints down the pub, even if it paid less: which it probably doesn't. When old people in care homes start dying because of staff shortages then I'm going to start cheering, because this is what it's going to take to make people stand up against vaccine mandates. I'd rather see this happen now, before the cabinet imbeciles get going on our doctors and nurses.
    2
  12938. Since India has thrown in its lot with Putin, I hope it isn't hoping for any help from the West, even if both Pakistan and China start beating on its sorry arse.
    2
  12939. As long as we don't have to see them nude now.
    2
  12940. When are people going to understand that TTK and Labour have zero intention of stopping the influx of their future voters?
    2
  12941. If you earn all your money honestly and decently, and don't use it in any nefarious manner, then you shouldn't be in the least concerned about making your financial transaction public.

  12942.  @janeenharris3074  Most in 1930s Germany were supportive of yellow stars and ghettos!
    2
  12943. Not "grooming gangs", RAPE GANGS! A fair number of these little girls were only 12 years old. This has been going on for 25 years at the very least, and ALL British governments have turned a blind eye to it.
    2
  12944. Pig hunting for the 21st century.
    2
  12945. ​ @pollyanna1112  I did say overriding reasons. Outback farms qualify, but in Europe you will find that it's OVERWHELMINGLY selfish parents who would rather have a good social life than bring up their own kids. Having taught in international schools I know that in most circumstances it's possible to keep your kids with you.
    2
  12946. To fags and cider add beer and buying junk food and ready meals. Also most of these are probably paying a pretty penny for smart phones.
    2
  12947. When I was at school 50 years ago being on the dole was a source of deep shame, and so was being mentally sick. To go along to a doctor and try and get off work by claiming mental illness would have been unimaginable. But these days claiming mental illness is a badge of pride for so many, and they think it's smart to live off the blood, sweat and tears of other people.
    2
  12948. One thing I love about this pandemic is the way new medicines are being fast-tracked and tested on millions of lab rats. This means that our scientific knowledge will advance so much faster, rather than taking all those painful, and expensive, years of safety trials. Maybe, in a few years or decades, I might need a mRNA vaccine or anti-viral drug. So I suppose I should thank all the covid-19 guinea pigs.
    2
  12949. If we didn't have SERIOUSLY BIASED police and courts these preachers would be either deported or preaching to 4 walls of a prison cell! Preach hate against Moslems and you will be arrested and charged before you can blink. Preach hate against the Jewish people and the police and courts will either ignore you or bend over backwards to interpret what you say as not being a hate crime. By the way I'm not Jewish, just an impartial observer.

  12950.  @schloops8473  Yes, of the famous bridges problem, that marked the start of Graph Theory. It should never have been given to Russia in the first place.
    2
  12951. The sooner tyrants, both sides of the border, stop forcing poorly tested vaccines on people who don't need them, the sooner this will end!
    2
  12952. So let me get this right. Our retarded government won't accept nine months of evidence that millions of people in the UK now have long term immunity, and hence don't need to wear a mask, social distance or self isolate. And they also don't need any vaccine. On the other hand they are more than happy to accept that just a couple of months phase 3 trials, instead of the usual 1 to 4 years, proves that these new vaccines will have no unforeseen long term seriously adverse effects. And these are vaccines that use a complete novel approach!
    2
  12953. Most of us would like to see the BBC lose our license fees, and pay its own way like the other channels!

  12954. In that case he will never make it to them.
    2
  12955. How this woman has the effrontery to utter the word "trust" amazes me. Let's see how many OAPs trust Labour as it gets colder. Mind you it's mooted that this woman is set to remove their 25% council tax discount and Freedom Pass in the upcoming budget.

  12956. Agreed. If there are enough of them, we need MPs, with intelligence and integrity, from all parties, to form a new one. Sadly I suspect that there are nowhere near enough, and that most people would just continue to vote Tory or Labour.
    2
  12957. The same old levelling down Labour policies. Private education significantly REDUCES the burden on state schools. Rather than destroy such schools that provide a better education, there should be a focus on improving the ABYSMAL education offered by the vast majority of state schools. There are two main causes of this: 1. The appalling discipline in most state schools discourages the best teachers from working in them. 2. In most state schools the applications of older more experienced teachers go straight in the bin! They are only interested in employing the cheapest. Never mind just newly qualified teachers, often its actually trainees. Those who don't believe this should take a look at how many older mainstream teachers there are in a state school they know.
    2
  12958. There's a very old saying: Justice delayed is justice denied!
    2
  12959. Want to end the "emergency"? Easy. Stop trying to force vaccinations on people!
    2
  12960. I this is true then I hope the cancer is causing Putin constant agony. Doctors are meant to value life. So, if a bunch of them has been following him then they should consider the tens of thousands of lives they could save by putting Putin down, as one would any sick animal.
    2
  12961. Merry Christmas, Orcs. Enjoy the festive fireworks.
    2
  12962. Well, I'm surprised India succeeded, but congratulations. I wonder if Modi and Putin will still be friends now that India has really rubbed his nose in it?
    2
  12963. Let's be honest. If a rail strike doesn't seriously p*ss off most people then it's not having much of an effect and therefore not going to achieve the unions' goals. This is why nurses have been screwed for decades, because they are not prepared to make their strikes effective by letting people die. I'm not saying I agree with the rail strike, but the bottom line is that government relies on others having much more of a conscience than they do. And despite Worm Tongue's comments this really is down to the government, rather than their Vichy style companies.
    2
  12964.  @sharkygames9633  The maniac dictator in Belarus needs his army to keep him in power. So he probably can't risk deploying those same forces against Ukraine without giving his people the chance to rise up against him.
    2
  12965. That pathetic wimp Sunak is going to do absolutely nothing to stop the deluge of ILLEGAL migrants, or jail the BENT lawyers helping them make false claims. And if Labour win the next election they will do less, if that's even possible.
    2
  12966. Since Trump won I've been saying that it will make no difference to his policy whether or not Ukraine uses long-range missiles without US permission. If Zelensky doesn't understand this then Ukraine urgently needs a new leader.
    2
  12967. Whitty should have his mouth sewn shut. The ACTUAL EVIDENCE about Omicron, from South Africa, gives no support whatsoever to this doom monger's predictions.
    2
  12968. I bet both the Liberals and Reform UK are praying that Cummings doesn't endorse them, because that would be one of the fastest ways to lose a lot of support. What's always amazed me is why some people regard Cummings as intelligent, as his degree is in modern history. All humanities degrees consist of little more than remembering a few facts and giving your own opinion on them. Contrast this with proper science, engineering and maths degrees. These require genuine intelligence, understanding of sometimes incredibly difficult concepts, and often a lot of inventiveness when it comes to solving problems. Maybe this explains why one can count the number of MPs with such degrees on one hand.
    2
  12969. Once again our kids our being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. The authors replacing those of very high standing, that have stood the test of time, are being pushed purely for political reasons rather than the quality of their work.
    2
  12970. Recognising Crimea as Russian would run directly counter to international law. It would also give Xi the green light to invade Taiwan.
    2
  12971. The only way this deranged psychopath is going to go is if he is forcibly "removed" from power.
    2
  12972. What an insult to all those who have given their lives. I can't believe that the government and police will allow a pro-Palestine march to go ahead on this day. It's like letting these people piss on the graves of our dead heroes!
    2
  12973. This is exactly the kind of thing that many of us hoped this deranged psychopath would do. Mobilising 300,000 reservists will take time, and they will be poorly equipped and badly trained. So, they won't save Putin from lots more defeats and humiliation. However, this desperate, and none too bright, despot is now upsetting a lot of Russians. I think his days are now severely numbered.
    2
  12974. Pourquoi YouTube a-t-il supprimé mon commentaire en anglais affirmant qu'il est 10 à 100 fois plus difficile d'entretenir une ogive nucléaire que le missile lui-même ? Pourquoi YouTube adore-t-il Poutine ?
    2
  12975. Yep, Russia doing what nobody else does better: murdering innocent women and children.
    2
  12976.  @hardworker645  And that shepherd is a wolf licking his lips.
    2
  12977. Russia has been mocking Trump in private for the past 3 months, it's just that they have now done it publicly.
    2
  12978. Lukashenko is only being kept in power by the perceived threat that the Russian military will move in to support him if there is an attempt to overthrow him. Before long Belarusians will realise that Putin is no longer able to support his puppet. So they certainly don't want a free democratic Belarus in control of nuclear weapons, which they might even hand over to Ukraine.
    2
  12979. Apart from Boris, does anyone really care what this stupid bint thinks or says?
    2
  12980. I'll tell you what is a bloody black comedy, right now in the UK. Along with the coldest spell in a decade the winds have stopped spinning the turbines, and the solar cells are covered in snow. If the wankers we elect had built nuclear power stations we wouldn't be looking at possible blackouts.
    2
  12981. Imagine not getting the best nurse or doctor, because they were rejected for being white.
    2
  12982.  @arthurcals1084  The Hitler like villains are the ones imposing lockdowns!
    2
  12983. Years ago I used to trust and respect the WHO and CDC. Now I totally distrust and despise them!
    2
  12984. There are transvestites, certainly, but that's absolutely nothing to do with ones gender. There is no such thing as a trans woman. If you still have dick you are a man. If you have had it chopped off then you are a eunuch. It really is that simple.
    2
  12985. These filthy Orcs have a surrender hotline they can call. If they don't do so then they deserve every ounce of suffering piled on them.
    2
  12986. Some of Rochdale's police, at the highest level, should be serving lengthy prison sentences! By not acting properly right from the start they are directly responsible for so many young white girls who were subsequently abused.
    2
  12987. Well things that are definitely crumbling are the ice packs at both poles and most glaciers.
    2
  12988. "There, but for the grace of God". When I hear of someone breaking the "rules" I'm cheering them on, and the more egregious the breach the more I'm cheering. However, I take a totally different stance when it comes to people breaking the rules that they themselves have made. Nothing stinks worse than hypocrisy!
    2
  12989. I'm no fan of either the Tories or Labour, but I fully agree with not paying out on this. For many decades women were able to retire 5 years earlier than men. This despite the fact that in general they live longer. As many years notice of this change was also given I really don't buy the case for compensation.
    2
  12990. Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to just pay some nice Italian family to take care of Kim?
    2
  12991. It could be 5 million and not make any difference. Labour MPs stood up and cheered when stopping this payment was passed: and they are in an overwhelming majority.
    2
  12992. There is ONLY one true reason for these cancelled elections. TTK doesn't want most people seeing how popular Reform UK is: and how unpopular Labour is.
    2
  12993. I live in North Enfield. About 40 years ago there were factories right along the other side of the A10, and there were many, many more on that side stretching from Brimsdown to Edmonton. As a student I had holiday jobs in quite a few of them. Every single one of them, and the many thousands of jobs they provided, have now gone!
    2
  12994.  @MegaDirtyberty  Nice to see someone keeping up with the science.👌
    2
  12995. It's the Tories that are now a mistake, and irrelevant. People who have voted to them need the good sense to switch that allegiance to Reform UK.
    2
  12996. It's sad, but when a building is badly infested with vermin the only way to exterminate them is to demolish the building.
    2
  12997. The truth that most don't want to face is that we sold all our young people down the river. The education and mental health of so many has been damaged for a virus that barely affected them, and posed a negligible risk to most teaching them. But the worst part is that even in the wider population sars-cov-2 posed a serious threat to well under 1%. Sacrificing our young people was an incredibly SELFISH and very COWARDLY thing to do. Even many animals put the welfare of their young first!
    2
  12998. The lack of trust is extremely well founded. 1. News of massive anti-lockdown demos, both here and abroad have been vigorously censored, and interviews made very selective, to give the FALSE impression that most people support the government's measures. 2. The risk that covid-19 poses to the vast majority has been obscenely exaggerated. This is a virus with a very small IFR of about 0.3% that overwhelmingly affects the very old and the very sick. 3. Very large and reliable reports supporting excellent long lasting natural immunity have never been reported. In contrast much smaller and unreliable ones, in favour of vaccination, have been enthusiastically given prime time coverage. Anyone who isn't distrustful would have to be seriously cogitatively challenged!
    2
  12999. Obviously some Russian commanders didn't turn the meat grinder properly.
    2
  13000. There is so much more than this that is being purposely overlooked! The collateral damage caused by lockdowns and restrictions is absolutely mind blowing. You really do have to go round with your eyes covered and fingers in your ears not to accept this fact. This virus has an IFR of about 0.3%, which is only three times higher than seasonal flu. But unlike seasonal flu it only poses a serious threat to the very old. The damage done by restrictions is vastly more than this virus would ever have done. And let's not forget that most of those who died would have done so soon anyway. We need to take note that even a year on Sweden, with no lockdowns, still has a lower death rate than the UK. Watching most countries' reaction to this virus is like watching lemmings throwing themselves over a cliff.
    2
  13001. Gas leak?
    2
  13002. Payback!!! Did mad dog Putin really think he could cause mass devastation and death in Ukraine without any consequence? But at least the Ukrainians have the decency not to target civilians.
    2
  13003. Coming soon on the BBC, a belated obituary on a misunderstood promising artist who failed to get into art school in Vienna.
    2
  13004. Yes, Herr Macron's dictatorship will remind older French people of what life was like under the Nazi occupation: "Papieren bitte!". But even the Nazis didn't stop people going to cafes. Maybe Herr Macron would also like to make all those who aren't vaccinated wear a yellow star, and perhaps open a few ghettos for them.
    2
  13005. It's not looking at any of the things that would reflect badly on the government and its collaborators.
    2
  13006. For ages, people like me have been having our posts pulled for suggesting any such link. I'm surprised YouTube haven't pulled your video. Maybe they have finally realised they can't suppress uncomfortable truths forever.
    2
  13007. Unlike Germany, Britain will make good on this promise very quickly. This is why Putin regularly threatens to nuke the UK and not Germany, which makes plenty of promises, but never delivers.
    2
  13008. Unlike some, Ukraine has learnt its lessons from history. We acquiesced to the Anschluss of Austria and the ceasing of the Sudetenland. Then we had Chamberlain's "peace in our time". We all know where that ended. Putin is, without any question, as bad as Hitler, if not worse!
    2
  13009. What's REALLY BAD is that conjecture is being presented as fact when there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that this Indian variant is more infectious, more deadly, or more likely to circumvent immunity. All this is but scaremongering SPECULATION. Yes this variant is spreading, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF that another variant wouldn't be taking its place if it wasn't there. In fact this is probably (to use the scaremongers' own phrase) almost certain. As for cases and deaths in India, anyone with even limited intelligence who looks at RATES per million, rather than raw numbers, will soon realise that India really isn't doing that bad at all. This scaremongering must stop. It's like the church, in medieval times, convincing ignorant peasants about the existence of witches: which of course only the church could protect them from.😉
    2
  13010. One would have thought that by now even those Russians who aren't too bright would have realised that Putin only cares about himself.
    2
  13011. This is why there is no place for Hamas in a civilized world.
    2
  13012. Come on Julie. Did you honestly trust Boris Johnson, or expect him to keep his word? It's like expecting a scorpion not to sting you.
    2
  13013. All viruses continue to mutate. Should we therefore live our lives in fear of catching measles or chickenpox again? The variant card is way past its expiry date. Give this pathetic scaremongering a rest!
    2
  13014. With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what government are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out! And Javid can shove his masks up where he speaks out of! Just say "I'm exempt". The goons can't ask about your medical history.
    2
  13015. Do these morons in Downing Street understand how vaccines work? They give you immunity from catching the virus. OK it may not work with 100%, but the vast majority will not contract this virus, no matter what letter of the Greek alphabet it is given. And the very few that might catch it will be even less likely to pass it on to someone who is vulnerable. This totally mindless panic really needs to stop. It's not "listening to the science", it's listening to irrational craven snowflakes!
    2
  13016. What for? This is yet another of Russian MoD Film Studios' very many fantasy productions.
    2
  13017. That's because we LET them take away our rights, and we are LETTING them do nothing about the migrant crisis.
    2
  13018. Kadyrov is living proof that pigs can talk. I'd like to hear him talk as he's getting roasted.
    2
  13019. People don't need to hose their lawns and cars. Bans should be brought in BEFORE our rivers start to suffer!
    2
  13020. During the PANICdemic, the BBC did exactly what government wanted them to, which is why the license won't be scrapped. They didn't report on anti-lockdown demos, some of which were the biggest demos ever seen in the UK. They didn't report research showing how totally useless masks were, or how brilliant natural immunity, after having Covid, was. Only complete imbeciles now trust the BBC.
    2
  13021. Yep, but don't expect the Downing Street Despots to ever admit this.
    2
  13022.  @daniellucas5522  I like the way you lying frightened snowflakes make up things like 30%. I don't think there's any CONCRETE EVIDENCE for Omicron hospitalising or killing a single person: anywhere in the world. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Boris's and Javid's LIES don't count as evidence.
    2
  13023.  @daniellucas5522  If you ignore the doctors and scientists who aren't in the pocket of corrupt government then there's no evidence of intelligence.
    2
  13024. Since Putin is a deranged psychopath, whose views are totally detached from reality, we shouldn't be paying any attention to what he thinks or his threatening rants.
    2
  13025. Putin est comme un animal effrayé, sur le point d'être dévoré par des loups. Il profère des menaces pathétiques qu'il ne peut pas mettre à exécution.
    2
  13026. If he had a shred of decency he would be long gone.
    2
  13027. Just counting the number of dead isn't at all sensible: it's just scaremongering. What sensible and honest people look at is the death RATE. On doing this we see that Brazil is in fact doing VERY MUCH BETTER than many other countries, including the UK.
    2
  13028. William Hill may well soon be taking bets on how many deportees are on each flight. I expect any bets on high double digit figures or three digit figures will attract very good odds.
    2
  13029. So true!
    2
  13030.  @glennbeadshaw727  People like you, who are determined not to acknowledge the terrible damage done to kids, sicken me. You are the same types that looked the other way during the Holocaust!
    2
  13031. Well, I guess it's safer than getting your arse shot out of the sky over Ukraine. Hasn't Putin got enough left to from a Swastika?
    2
  13032. This is JUST the one they have caught. One wonders if TTK or any of his cabinet would stand up to close scrutiny of their WhatsApp messages.
    2
  13033. Aha, a Putin fanboy.
    2
  13034. She should be, but there will be an army of wokes, screaming Islamophobia, descending on the school if she is.
    2
  13035. Those in Canada quickly discovered how important cash is when Tyrant Trudeau tried to freeze the accounts of those who wouldn't take a very poorly tested "vaccine".
    2
  13036. During time of war 12 years in prison is extremely merciful. At the very least I'd make her work clearing minefields that the Orcs have laid.
    2
  13037. All Trump will do is give Putin another month's deadline, which he will then extend!
    2
  13038. This is so, so funny. In Downing Street Boris and his sidekicks stood on their podiums and made really serious faces as they spread their fear mongering. They should get Oscars, because while they clearly didn't believe a word of what they were saying millions of gullible schmucks swallowed their act hook, line and sinker. Party on dude!
    2
  13039. People should be responsible for making sure that their kids and pets don't cause harm or inconvenience to others. If they fail to do this then they should most certainly be punished, and in extreme cases the children or pets should be taken from them.
    2
  13040. About 2 years ago those of us who weren't brain dead predicted that TOTALLY UNNECESSARY lockdowns and restrictions would have dire consequences. But millions of frightened morons rolled over and let them happen. Well, here are just some of those dire consequences.
    2
  13041. Tyrants don't respond to democracy or peaceful protest!
    2
  13042.  @balthus9105  Are you stupid? Peaceful protests haven't worked. Tyrants don't respect democracy, only physical threats to themselves.
    2
  13043. I don't want to have no electricity or running water. I don't want to have no access to medical or dental treatment. I don't want to die slowly and extremely painfully from radiation poisoning. So I guess I'm a coward. Because, if this war escalates to involve NATO this is a very real possibility.
    2
  13044. Just how mentally challenged do you have to be to believe that drones of this size, and with such a miserable explosive payload, flew all the way from Ukraine?
    2
  13045. Dr. John, while the CDC once had a very good reputation, the sad truth is that one can no longer have any confidence in it. It has been caught red-handed cherry picking data to support it's government master's agenda. A good example of this is its focus on the now infamous Kentucky study, while ignoring both the Cleveland and Israeli one.
    2
  13046. The solution is really very simple. Every energy producer in the UK, or UK territorial waters, must be FORCED to sell its energy at only a very small profit to the UK consumer. If the only way to accomplish this is by nationalisation, without compensation, then this should be done very quickly. Only a relatively few rich parasites will object.
    2
  13047. Unfortunately, certain groups are breeding like rabbits on Viagra, which is straining the country's finances and threatening our social stability.
    2
  13048. Even if the Orcs aren't crawling forward let's hope plenty are still dying in their trenches. Vermin are always a problem until they are exterminated.
    2
  13049. Because this policeman should have had jack boots and "SS" on his shoulder?
    2
  13050.  @AT-gu8by  These were very rare instances, so don't try to be clever.
    2
  13051. This overpaid, and none too bright, ex jock should have been sacked. There are so many others who could do what he does far better, for a small fraction of his obscene, and undeserved, salary.
    2
  13052. Russia oil and gas would also be nothing if enough of their pipelines and refineries were blown up.
    2
  13053. The answer is really simple. Too much spent on "welfare". It's a basic fact of nature that the ecosystem can only support a relatively small proportion of freeloaders and parasites. When these become too large the system collapses!
    2
  13054. People really need to lose their prudishness about nudity. The only ones I'd dearly like to see well covered up are the fat old ones, who often seem the keenest to get their kit off.
    2
  13055. Does this wannabe PM not realise that nobody cares about his demands?
    2
  13056. I'll bet many in Wales rally wish they were ruled directly from Westminster. There's absolutely no doubt about it Drakeford is a complete imbecile. Also, car internal combustion engines generally run most efficiently at between 40 to 60 mph. So Idiot Drakeford will increase pollution levels and greenhouse gases.
    2
  13057. Rich Boy Sunak is beginning to show either how dishonest or stupid he is: maybe both. Due to lack of overseas workers a staggering amount of our agricultural produce has been wasted. Do we really want a PM who thinks that's OK?
    2
  13058. There's still massive censorship, with YouTube in the vanguard.
    2
  13059. To plagiarize that popular football song: "Crimea's coming home".
    2
  13060. ​ @MyKharli  Scotland isn't facing drought. Also, if needed those Ash trees could easily be replaced by another species.
    2
  13061. Insulting Mohammed or Jesus is no different than cursing Luke Skywalker or the Tooth Fairy. ALL religion is fanciful nonsense that has no part in modern civilized societies. Only those with the least education and intelligence believe such fiction. Others who profess such belief are just doing so to exploit the weak minded.
    2
  13062. Think of the anger, a couple of years back, when Boris tried to shut down parliament. In any true democracy we expect legislation to be voted on, not just enacted by presidential decree. The French need to get rid of Herr Macron, who clearly wants dictatorial power.
    2
  13063. If politicians had got their brains around the science then there would have been no lockdowns, and less than 5% of the population would have been encouraged to take a vaccine that hadn't undergone AT LEAST 3 years of phase 3 safety trials!
    2
  13064. Why don't most teachers have the honesty and decency to tell their students just how much a good tradesman like a plumber earns? Maybe it's down to resentment that it's far more than them, and that they probably enjoy their job a lot more.
    2
  13065. Don't forget that most volunteer police officers do it because it fulfills their wet dreams of having a little power.
    2
  13066. Chamberlain appeased Hitler at the 1938 Munich negotiations, and look how well that stopped escalation! Putin is at least as bad as Hitler, and if he is allowed any success in Ukraine he WILL definitely move on to the Baltic states and some of the Eastern European countries. Other than teaching about our evil colonial past, don't they teach history in school any more?
    2
  13067. How much would the planet benefit if most people gave up private motoring, and walked, cycled, or used public transport? A hell of a lot!
    2
  13068. For ages I've been saying that if illegal migrants knew they were going to immediately be detained on a cold, wet, remote Scottish island then they would quickly stop arriving. This would also be much cheaper than sending them to warm, sunny Rwanda.
    2
  13069. England, excepting the USA, also has one of the worst obesity rates in the world, which leads to heart disease and type-2 diabetes, to name but two consequences. In the name of political correctness advertising and other television has also normalised this, which is even worse.
    2
  13070. In years gone by most of these stupid selfish motorists would have been force to walk, cycle and use public transport. It was a win all round: clean air, less greenhouse gases, vast resource savings on car manufacture, and healthier people. I'll never understand people's obsession with owning and driving a box with wheels.
    2
  13071. Those of us who weren't brain-dead cowards said this from the start. As did REAL experts like Professor Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University. I'm just waiting for the inevitable announcement that most people should not have been vaccinated.
    2
  13072. Actually more like 0.1%.
    2
  13073. Oh, what a surprise, not one of them is a third generation Brit.
    2
  13074. This council has plant-based brains!
    2
  13075. Most schoolgirls are FORCED to wear the hijab, and will be secretly blessing this ban!
    2
  13076. I wouldn't trust the WHO to run a piss-up in a brewery. Also, Covid was more PANICdemic than pandemic. If one simply multiplies the Covid IFR against the reported infection rate it's very clear that the death rate in the UK was exaggerated by at LEAST a factor of 5. What so many half-wit governments did to their people was bad enough. Do we now want to vest that power in an even more incompetent WHO?
    2
  13077. Come on you honest judges. Defend people's freedom, and the American way, by striking down this mandate. Do we even want to curb the spread of the Omicron variant? According to South African doctors it is EXTREMELY MILD. Being more infectious it has the potential to oust more dangerous variants and quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. God fearing Americans might well see this variant as his Christmas present to the world: and Blasio is doing the devil's work in trying to stop its spread.
    2
  13078. Actually even most of the under 80's have very little to worry about. I feel so sorry for all those businesses and self-employed who have been needlessly crucified. If this farcical debacle had unfolded 30 years ago I'd have gone from being one of the top few percent of earners, with my own house, to being back with my parents, or on the street. What so many governments have done is cowardly and shameful. Only Sweden seems to have got it right, and even they are paying, in some degree, for other governments' craven mismanagement.
    2
  13079. The only thing Putin has got that is unstoppable is his incontinence.
    2
  13080. This is what communism gets you!
    2
  13081. At least the USA still has some honest judges who are prepared to strike down illegal laws. Here in the UK our corrupt supreme court judges are doing nothing to stop the Downing Street crazies decimating our care and NHS services. The worst part is that most of those that these tyrants want to fire already have vastly better natural immunity, and would gain absolutely no benefit from being vaccinated.

  13082. Russia is indeed in a desperate situation. Only a couple of days ago Russian papers were expressing concern about the rocketing costs of staples like bread, and energy shortages. The Russian people are finally beginning to get an idea of just how many have died, or suffered life changing injuries for Putin. He clearly can't get away with this for much longer, yet Trump wants to hand him the victory he couldn't achieve after trying hard for 3 years.

  13084. Retarded, mummy's boy, politicians need to stop making such a bloody fuss over a virus that kills well under 1%. Get out of people's faces, you Nazi bastards, and let them get on with their lives.

  13085. This would happen quicker if people had the decency to stop booking holidays in Turkey, and cancel those already booked. Go to Greece instead. It's a free country with just as much to offer.

  13086. Fico was a Putin supporter, so I think few decent people will be shedding many tears over what happened to him. And I'm betting that Hungary's Orbán will be casting many anxious glances over his shoulder: as will a lot of politicians in Georgia.

  13087. The statistics now tell us very clearly that if you are under 70 then influenza is more of a threat to you than covid-19. And the younger you are the more risk from influenza, relative to covid-19, increases. We don't have lockdowns and tiers for influenza, so it's complete madness to do this for covid-19. The only sane approach is to isolate of those most at risk.
    2
  13088. Sickening! Russia hasn't changed in the more than 70 years since it murdered 22,000 Polish officers.

  13089.  Chris Cross  Agreed. You know, I do wonder whether all these things would be taken far more seriously if they were happening to pale skinned girls with blonde hair.

  13090. Breaking international law over the Norther Ireland Protocol, just to satisfy a few bigoted and hate-filled protestants, should certainly now be reconsidered.

  13091. They may have hidden his face, but look at the colour of his arms. No prizes for guessing his ethnicity and religious beliefs.
    2
  13092. The thing is that most politicians court popularity by not increasing the financial burden while they are in office. And when it comes to climate change they are banking on not being around to answer for their crimes when things get bad enough (and too late to fix) for most people to really start worrying.

  13095. ​ @untenableposition  You may have a very good point. It's definitely the case in New Zealand that immigrants pushed house prices through the roof. When I went to live there a couple of decades ago I was able to buy a large bungalow, in a good area, outright. I still had money left over after fully furnishing it (including whiteware) and buying a new 4-wheel drive.
    2
  13096. There are almost certainly ace pilots who would jump at the opportunity to be given leave of absence to volunteer to fly these F-16 jets in Ukraine. They could certainly do a vast amount of damage to Putin's Orcs, both on the ground and in the air.
    2
  13097. If you examine the contract for many professional jobs, you will see that it prohibits you from taking on other employment. The reasoning behind this is that it will sap the physical and mental resources that you bring to your job. Between pay and expenses MPs are well enough remunerated to be expected to devote their working time purely to serving their constituents.
    2
  13098. Of course the Met Police have arrested no one, and even if they did some ethnic judge or magistrate would let them off, as has happened before.

  13099. For students coming to study over here for a degree the government should make damn sure they pass a test showing GOOD competence in English. It shouldn't be up to universities, many of whom would simply sell degree certificates if they could get away with it.

  13100. Most Americans don't want EITHER of these men as president!

  13101.  @MariaAudioChick  , sadly you are so right. I regularly post reports, telling the truth, to Facebook, and they are ignored. Yesterday I posted an article on how well Sweden is doing. Someone jumped in and criticized it without even reading it.

  13102. Are we sure they didn't escape from the mosque?

  13103. ​ @concernedcitizen7385  Unless you are incredibly thick it's clear that Prigozhin's death was vastly more important to Putin.
    2
  13104. One thing can be said with absolute certainty. If, as is seeming more and more likely by the day, this variant is confirmed to be EXTREMELY MILD, as South African doctors have already said, then this fact will be covered up. Heaven forbid that people loose their fear of this virus, or even worse that it spreads quickly and SAFELY bestows PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. What would the government then do with all those vaccine doses it has ordered? What would it do when everybody found out that they had lied about natural immunity?
    2
  13105. I suspect that when it comes to cases like this most decent people would agree. Unfortunately YouTube isn't decent and deletes almost all such suggestions.

  13108. Most female students will secretly bless schools for banning the hijab. If teachers took the trouble to ask these students if they wanted to wear this then they would find that most were FORCED to by their parents. I wonder how many girls were really happy to rip the thing off and tell their parents the school made the do it.

  13110. Even a thick as sh*t politician should have worked this out a long time ago.

  13111. NATO needs to allow these countries some kind of IMMEDIATE provisional membership, as mad dog Putin almost certainly has them in his sights.
    2
  13112. Nobody with even a passing acquaintance with Russian history will be in the least surprised by this. Once again we are reminded of the Katyn massacre, when the Russians butchered 22,000 defenceless Poles. Ironically, this atrocity was uncovered by the Nazis. There were other similar atrocities, and no doubt more that were never discovered. Russia hasn't changed one iota since then!
    2
  13113. However, that Boris is a liar and a cheat, and that the last few education ministers, including this one, are complete wankers, are facts.
    2
  13114. This is incredibly bad news, and something to be very deeply worried about. France is more than twice the size of the UK, and has a land and climate more suited to producing its own food. Something has gone very badly wrong for this to happen!
    2
  13115. How's this for a good reason? "I'm not a retard who takes poorly tested vaccines when the research tells me that natural immunity is an order of magnitude better."
    2
  13116. Because he's only 99% given up any hope of winning the next election.

  13117. What's so funny is all the posts from Muslims supporting Putin.
    2
  13118. Rather than this what's really needed is kids to be made aware of just how good many trades jobs are. Your plumber or electrician, if they are any good, earns a lot more than a teacher, and many other wage slaves, and they often enjoy their work a lot more. The same goes for many other trades. Yet teachers encourage far too many kids to waste time and money getting Noddy degrees that nobody wants.

  13121. There are an awful lot of firms who have it written into the contract that their employees cannot have second jobs, because the energy required to pursue them detracts from their first job. It's a conflict of interest! MP's are paid bloody well, especially when expenses are taken into account, so they should not be allowed to have second jobs.

  13129. Throughout the UK it ought to be enshrined in law that it shouldn't cost more to get somewhere on public transport than it does in your car. Anything else is ripping people off, and a major reason why people won't give up their cars. I used to live in Berlin where transport is a lot cheaper, and you can set your watch by it.

  13132. Well, when you make it harder for a psychopathic bully to strut his stuff he is going to become antagonised. Putin is the 21st century's Hitler. So we would do well to note what happened when Chamberlain went out of his way not to antagonise Adolf. It certainly didn't result in peace!

    1
  13137. Very well said Richard, you have more or less said, word for word, what people like me have been saying for the past few days. I'm sick of seeing Neo Nazi Anti-Semites protesting in our streets against Israel defending itself and its citizens, against rabid animals that are committed to the annihilation of the state of Israel.

  13144. BBB, in regard to coercing people who have recovered from covid-19 into having a vaccine, you might find this really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrAC01Xklc&t=556s This is a thorough and reputable study on natural immunity, and whether those who have it benefit from vaccination.
    1
  13145. Does anyone else remember those billboard posters, not too long ago, showing Herr Macron with that infamous moustache? Once again he demonstrates that in his heart of hearts he is a dictator. In a democracy legislation is voted on, not steamrollered through. Macron knew the majority would not vote for what HE wanted. But that's the inconvenient thing about democracies, the will of the majority carries the day, NOT the will of the president.
    1
  13146. This has been likely almost from the start of the Covid pandemic, but so-called "leaders" didn't want to upset China by saying so.
    1
  13147. "Well Camps" Sounds like what the Nazis would have called their death camps. Perhaps over the entrance there should be an inscription like "Vaccination sets you Free". And the funniest part is that the Australian taxpayers are paying to have themselves locked up in these places. Call me a looney lefty, but I can't help feeling that all that money would have been far better spent educating Aussi kids: especially after they have had their education and mental health buggered to hell by a fascist government.

  13150. It appears that Georgians are going to have to fight for their freedom, as Putin's puppets have massively falsified the results of this election.
    1
  13151. A better question would be why anyone would be stupid enough to go along with Putin's ploy. Just imagine what Putin would have done if Ukrainians had been stupid enough to go along with it. Hopefully Ukrainians will be able to take advantage of all the Orcs who are out of their skulls on cheap vodka, celebrating Russian Orthodox Christmas. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Ukraine could double down on the 400 or so it killed on New Year's Day.

  13152. The murder of this young woman needs to be the catalyst for removing the misogynists from power. Hopefully the protests won't just fade away and leave these rabid animals still ruling.

  13153. Only a fool, who has failed to learn from history, would consider peace talks with Putin. Chamberlain tried it with Hitler, and Putin is just as bad and mad.

  13154. For a virus with an IFR of 0.3%, which is just three times that of seasonal flu, and mainly just kills the very old and/or very sick, any lockdown would have been over MY dead body, if I had been in Boris's shoes!
    1
  13155. Tim, we really do need to distinguish between positive PCR tests and infections, especially among those how have been vaccinated or previously had covid-19. Immunity is not like the shields on the starship Enterprise. The immune system doesn't do it's thing until virus particles enter the body. Those of us with a decent scientific background know how exquisitely sensitive the PCR test is. There's a very good chance that many of these so-called infections are either just a few viral particles that the immune system is going to zap in the next few hours, or just fragments of viral particles that have already been destroyed by the immune system. Ignorant people don't understand this. The PCR test, used in this way detects fragments, not whole genomes. Many scientists have questioned the validity of using it in this way. Our whole reporting system seems deliberately rigged to grossly overestimate the number of covid-19 cases, in order to frighten people, and support restrictions on their freedom. If one multiplies the number of infections to date by the well accepted IFR of 0.3% then the number of expected deaths is around an order of magnitude lower than those reported by the 28 day rule. If one chooses to work instead with the excess death figure one still only ends up with around 1/4 of the deaths we are told have happened. Reporting of both infections and deaths is simply not credible!

  13156. On this matter Trump has been far too patient. He should have realised much sooner that Putin never had any interest in peace and was playing him for a complete sucker.

  13157. There are lot's of Ukrainian refugees in Calais, NOT Lille or Paris. So if this government was serious then that's where they would set up their visa centre. One can't help wondering what things would be like if Poland and Hungary had adopted the same stance as the UK, and insisted on visas before letting refugees into their countries.

  13158. What about a crackdown on profiteering in private health, by putting price caps on extremely greedy companies? Someone I know recently had a private MRI scan and another examination in which a tube was shoved down her throat. Each cost around £1000. Such prices are truly outrageous and need to be forcibly lowered.

  13160. Rich boy Rishi doesn't give a toss about the poor. He has already CHEATED millions of struggling OAPs out of their "triple lock" pension rise, so that they will now get a rise way below inflation. Even without having had what they are entitled to STOLEN from them millions would have really suffered!

  13166. Why isn't Chris Evans also taking the Tories to task for reneging on the "triple lock" for OAPs? Even if Sunak hadn't cheated them out of the pension rise they are entitled to inflation and sky rocketing energy bills are going to crucify many. This heinous embezzlement of the pension needs to be reversed!
    1
  13167. Why on earth would Europe want to stop the collapse of Russia? This would be one of the best things that could possibly happen. Surely parts of the Russian Federation must be asking themselves what they gain from being under Moscow's thrall. Just look at Siberia. This is a region rich in resources. What sense does it make to let Moscow plunder them and send its young men off to die in Ukraine? In fact this is exactly one of Putin's biggest fears, which he alluded to only a few days ago.

  13170. The bottom line is if you have had covid-19 then your chances of catching it again are virtually zero. If you have had both jabs then your chances are likewise very small. But don't believe me, check out this recent video by Dr. Moran who presents a very thorough study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrAC01Xklc&t=6s Of course, scumbag politicians are constantly trying to convince people that there's a bad-ass variant that's going to kill us all if we don't lockdown forever.

  13172. President Jair Bolsonaro is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Lockdowns ultimately do not work. They just kick the covid can down the street a little and people just die a little bit later. Many European countries have now had several lockdowns, and yet they are in more of a mess than ever. However, what lockdowns most certainly are extremely effective at is crucifying the poor, of which there are no shortage in Brazil. So, looking at the bigger picture, Bolsonaro is doing the right thing for the vast majority of Brazilians. Also, as always, we need to look at RATES rather than raw numbers. Brazil's is 1,831 deaths per million. Yes it's high, but that of plenty of other lockdown kings is higher still, including the UK, which has 1,911 deaths per million. Two things do work. Vaccines certainly are making an enormous difference in the UK, despite Boris Johnson lying through his teeth and claiming that most of the credit is down to his insane lockdowns. The other thing that works, and should have been adopted early in the pandemic is the recommendations in the Great Barrington Declaration. The eminent international scientists that drafted this recommended just isolating the most vulnerable. Everyone else was to get on with their life, letting herd immunity develop. They also correctly predicted the disasters we are seeing in Europe, and elsewhere, as a direct result of cowardly imbecilic "leaders" implementing lockdowns.

  13179. "being bought into disrepute" That happened some time ago. Whatever your political allegiance, any honest person has to admit that those in Downing Street really are the scum of the earth. They make the dodgiest second hand car salesman look like Mother Theresa. Of course, the Met Police won't examine the Downing Street party (or is that now parties). Cressida Dick has been well looked after by Boris and his boys, so she is going to return the favour. So much for this level of corruption only happening in banana republics.

  13180. Sunak is going to lose no matter when he calls the election. However, calling a winter election might be more strategic because the feckless benefit bludgers who always vote for Labour are less likely to go out and vote in bad weather.

  13181. Fuller, my wannabe Gestapo officer, I hate to break it to you but not everyone has a suitable mobile phone, they don't always take them out, and sometimes the juice runs out. That's a different kind of juice to what you frequently coax out with your right hand.

  13188. Dude, if you think your schools are bad then just take a look at the UK to see how vastly worse they can become. At least you can get people who want to teach in most of them. In the UK most schools do all they can not to hire the older more experienced teachers, because they are more expensive and harder to bully. And those who are in the classroom are worked to the bone, so most are very mediocre and leave in a few years (if anyone else will give them a job). I'm a qualified experienced teacher who can teach 6th form maths, chemistry and physics brilliantly, but schools wouldn't touch me and I wouldn't touch them: I stick to private tutoring. There are many like me, yet there's a chronic shortage of STEM teachers in the UK. Australia's schools are doing brilliantly compared to those in the UK.

  13193. With the newly granted permission Putin is going to be softened up for Trump, who may then make the spanking even harder. He better start packing his bags for China or North Korea.
    1
  13194. In the face of irrefutable evidence, like a petulant child, the government is still pretending that natural immunity isn't vastly superior to vaccination. Those who can certify that they have antibodies OR memory B and T cells against sars-cov-2 should be accorded the same rights. What these silly spiteful children in Down Street are doing is actually counter productive. The more they try to blackmail people into getting vaccinated, the more people will resist. If natural immunity was recognised then many people would pay to get tested and certified, and those who found that they weren't immune might well decide to get vaccinated. So much for "listening to the science".

  13197. "Thousands more deaths" If you believe this then you are incredibly feeble minded. While the Indian variant has been doing its thing for some time now, deaths have typically been in single figures. A jump to thousands isn't remotely credible. Almost all of those now infected are young. They shrug off this virus more easily than a bad cold. Of course Boris and his scaremongers know something that the rest of us don't. The bad arse Xanadu variant is about to hit us, and kill everyone.

  13211. Once again a good sized protest that has been totally ignored by mainstream media. Another very concerning thing is the government's total refusal to acknowledge the very well established fact that those who have recovered from covid-19 now have excellent long term natural immunity. In fact, indications are that this might last a lifetime, and be better than anything conferred by vaccines. Vaccinating such people does nobody any good. It's like watering your garden after its been raining solidly for a week. By the government's own figures, over 5 million on the UK have had covid-19. That's 5 million who shouldn't be vaccinated: 5 million doses that could go to those who genuinely need them.

  13221. Patrick, right at the very start the REAL EXPERTS warned governments of exactly this, and that advice was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, which tens of thousands of doctors and scientists put their name to. Governments were very clearly advised that lockdowns and restrictions would not work. They were told to just isolate the most vulnerable (about 1% of the population) until NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY developed. Natural immunity as proved be be rock solid and vastly better than vaccination. So this advice was spot on. But rather than admit how badly wrong they got it Downing Street have lied about natural immunity and continue with the same failed measures: and people are dying because of this.

  13222. What a contrast to that pig Erdogan who doesn't give a damn about all the Ukrainian civilians who have been murdered by Putin.

  13228. Perhaps we should be allowing, and indeed welcoming this spreading at the moment, as a means of getting more herd immunity prior to the winter. As the rise in cases across Europe, and in the UK, seems to be indicating, trying to get rid of this virus is a bit like King Canute telling the tide not to come in. Currently the vast majority of infections are not resulting in hospitalizations. Also, at present there is plenty of space in hospitals. We have Nightingale hospitals lying empty. So would it not be far better to allow the virus to spread now rather than run the fairly high risk of having a second wave coincide with seasonal flu in a few months time? Let's not forget that many people may well be too frightened to attend a centre carrying out flu vaccinations, so we could be heading for a really bad flu season. And, who knows, with the most vulnerable now being isolated a lot better, we might be pleasantly surprised at just how few hospitalizations we actually get, while significantly improving herd immunity. Of course, adopting this policy presents a (small?) risk and so takes a bit of courage. Bu,t as we have seen, taking responsibility, and displaying courage are things that are conspicuously absent among the PM and his cabinet ministers.

Even when things were at their worst in the UK it never got as fascist as Australia now is. Even the Nazis didn't impose as bad curfews on those in the countries they occupied! Australia really needs a strong resistance movement to take on these SS and Gestapo pigs, and fight to get people's freedom back.

  13245. Sadly, from at least the time of Galileo, those in power have suppressed the scientific facts whenever those facts didn't suit them. It's all too easy to excoriate the scientists who suppress their findings, and I've often done so myself. However, a good look at those who have had the courage to stand by their findings often shows that they pay a very heavy price for doing so. While there are some exceptions, like Fauci, most of the time it is those pressuring the scientists that need the lynching.

Very importantly, we have to ask whether we really are seeing reinfection or just a positive PCR test, because they are very far from being the same thing! If PCR tests are being used as a proxy then it is highly likely that the reinfection rate is much lower, and maybe even zero.

    1
  13267. We've heard this many times. If however it is true then attacks by Ukraine need to be very sustained, so that Russia gets no opportunity to rest and restock. People also need to bear in mind that there are a lot of very unhappy regions that desperately want out of Putin's Russian Federation. If they perceive that Moscow has been sufficiently weakened then they might just make a bid for freedom: and Georgia might kick out it's puppet government and take back the 20% of its country that Putin stole.

If this dumb-ass government had followed the advice given to them by the REAL experts, close to the beginning of this pandemic, and published a few months later, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration, then we would now be enjoying NATURAL herd immunity. Despite the government desperately trying to hide the truth, natural immunity has now been proven, beyond all reasonable doubt, to be vastly better and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity.

  13281. Sadly Zelensky is right. NATO and the West is still far too concerned about upsetting a genocidal psychopath. And Putin is taking full advantage of this fear. As a sovereign nation it is totally within international law for Ukraine to call upon the West to help it defend itself, and it is totally within international law for the West to answer this call. Putin has more than he can handle in Ukraine now, and even more so if NATO goes in. Does anyone seriously believe he is in any position to open a war on more fronts? Also, the weaker he gets the more likely several regions are to break away from the Russian Federation: which is one of Putin's greatest fears.

  13282. Well, with the bigoted DUP spitting in the face of democracy, and refusing to allow a government to function in Northern Ireland, this is hardly surprising. The only thing that is surprising is that a fair number of leading DUP members haven't been taken out in the past year.

For the pronunciation given by the teacher I would expect the spelling to be Nigère. Actually, if I had been teaching that lesson, in the interest of giving the most educational lesson possible, I would have explained that the word Nigger originated as a way of describing someone who came from Niger, or from the region boarding the river of the same name. Originally it had the same purpose as calling someone who comes from Scotland a Scot.

The biggest "risk" to despotic governments is that it will very rapidly, and SAFELY, spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  13302. Thank you for being honest about the collateral damage, which does make me wonder why you didn't sign the Great Barrington Declaration. Idiots who support lockdowns are a bit like people who won't go to the dentist or who refuse to have a hernia repair. Yes, there's initial pain, but the initial pain is a hell of a lot less than the pain and suffering you will endure for PRETENDING you can avoid any pain. Unfortunately you are still propagating the lie that everyone should be wearing masks. You know damn well that mask wearing for those who have recovered from covid-19 serves no purpose other than to reinforce the lie about there being no immunity, and to scare people. In fact, I suspect that governments would see far more compliance if they made allowance for this. No one is keen to follow nonsensical rules made by a government that they know is lying and cheating. And these immune people could also fill the empty in between seating in theatres and restaurants, thus helping businesses.

And in Georgia's case this would probably be followed by retaking the 20% of the country that Putin stole.

And, while we are comparing supposedly "naughty" countries, Sweden's (1331 per million) is even lower still. If we examine the DATA for all the countries it is very clear that there is NOT a strong correlation between death rate and lockdowns. This is not opinion or speculation it is FACT. The simple truth is that frightened and stupid populations have allowed their governments to destroy their economies, and trample on their freedoms, for no sound scientific reason.

  13331. Pity it's only 200. I'd like to drop Napalm on them.

  13332. A pint of beer and bag of crisps at home cost me around £1.50. At the pub I'd be luck to get small change out of a fiver. That's the main reason so many have stopped going to pubs.
    1
  13333. The need for a new alternative party made of MPs with integrity and intelligence is now absolutely dire. Unfortunately I doubt there are nearly enough MPs fitting this criteria, and even if there were most idiots would mindlessly continue to vote Conservative or Labour.
    1
  13334. They are letting all the real criminals out of jail early to make space for all us far-right terrorists who think that our women and girls have the right to wall the streets in safety and without fear.
    1
  13335. Ils libèrent tous les vrais criminels de prison plus tôt que prévu pour faire de la place à nous, terroristes d'extrême droite, qui pensons que nos femmes et nos filles ont le droit de sillonner les rues en toute sécurité et sans crainte.

  13336. Maybe Putin is planning some atrocity in Kherson, and wants to give the impression that he won't be perpetrating it on his own troops.
    1
  13337. There's been great evidence almost from the start. The trouble is than admitting how good natural immunity is puts most governments in an untenable position!
    1
  13338. And you can see that Putin is a very evil man, hell bent on undoing all the good that Gorbachev did.
    1
  13339. Xi really is going senile in his old age. China does a vast amount of business with Europe, and screwing your customers isn't good for business. All of China's customers, not just Europe, will now start looking closely at what they buy from China, and whether it might be much better to find another source. This is almost as crazy as Xi's zero covid policy.

  13343. I hope they got the Hamas leader. Though, if I knew in advance where rabid animals like this lived I would have sent in special forces to take them out a long time ago.
    1
  13344. All we are seeing is an increasingly desperate Putin. Him calling some regions part of Russia does not materially change anything. And let's not forget that we have already seen some spectacular attacks on the Crimea, which Putin considers part of Russia. We have is a very desperate deranged psychopath, whose own people are fast losing patience with him, and who will now try any bluff to hang on to power, which is the only way save his own skin.
    1
  13345. You forgot to add self-serving.

  13346. Russia almost always lies, so we might well just be seeing a video of their own tanks being blown up.

  13347. Of course Starmer won't stop the boats. Most of those coming in are future Labour voters, and those who support the dinghy boys are also mainly labour voters.

  13348. ALL religion is complete and utter superstitious nonsense. It's absolutely no different than mocking Luke Skywalker or Harry Potter.
    1
  13349. In the very unlikely event that this is true, why hasn't every munitions factory and uranium enrichment facility in Iran been bombed to the ground? When you see a rabid dog you put it down BEFORE it bites someone. Such action would also stop Russia getting weapons to murder Ukrainian women and children with. Iran's military capability could easily be wiped out, and all that the women murdering misogynists could do would be to jump up and down like agitated monkeys and shout "death to America".
    1
  13350. ​ @Buckets1000  If Northern Ireland wasn't part of the UK they would be much more incentivised to sort themselves out. What's so funny is that while the DUP are desperate to be part of the UK most of us really don't want anything to do with them. It's rather like a wife wanting a divorce from an abusive husband who won't let her go.

  13353. How many people honestly believe that 25% of the working age population is too sick to work? Maybe it's my maths and stats background that tells me that even one third of this would be seriously pushing the bounds of credibility.
    1
  13354.  Dirty Bindippers  They can always do the decent thing, shoot their officers and surrender to Ukrainian troops.
    1
  13355. Sorry, but the government's vaccine mandates and threats of more lockdowns pose a far bigger threat to most of us than these terrorists do.
    1
  13356. F*ck the most at risk! Well over 99% of the population have had their lives turned upside down, and often destroyed, because of them. Our young people have had their education and mental health buggered to hell because of them. They are the ones that need to be super careful and be locked down, while sars-cov-2 SAFELY rips through the vast majority and generates herd immunity.
    1
  13357. REAL experts like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta were very clear that lockdowns would not work, and that only the most vulnerable (less than 1%) should have been isolated. But she, and others like her, were completely ignored, and even heavily censored. The main cause of our current economic woes are the totally insane and unnecessary lockdowns, for a virus that only every posed a threat to about 0.3%. We also now know that most masks were COMPLETELY USELESS. This is hardly surprising when you realise that the size of a virus in comparison to the mask mesh is rather like that of a fruit fly to the fencing used by most tennis courts. The mRNA in the experimental vaccines has also be found in the blood stream 28 days later, when it was never meant to make it further than the arm muscle that it was injected into. I'm so glad I didn't wear a mask or take a vaccine that most should never have been given.
    1
  13358. ​ @leeeeee286  Maybe doing nothing is racist. Could it be that because most victims are black that the government and police simply don't care?
    1
  13359. What these solicitors did was a SERIOUS CRIMINAL OFFENCE. They should be JAILED!
    1
  13360. Schools and universities should have carried on as normal. The Sars-cov-2 virus was only ever a threat to about 3 in 1000 of the population, who were overwhelmingly very old, very sick or both. But the selfish bed-wetting cowards had their way.
    1
  13361. Maybe we're a laughing stock because we have a clown for a prime minister, and a freak show circus for a cabinet.
    1
  13362. These lockdown and restriction cheerleaders are like compulsive gamblers, who simply don't know when to stop. The only difference is that they are rolling the dice with other people's lives: the vast majority of whom have nothing to fear from covid-19. These people, who want to play God, need to be reminded that very old and very sick people die. Allowing them to screw the hell out of the rest of us won't change that.
    1
  13363. The government should supply all us honkies with wet celery, daily, so that we can give ourselves a good flogging with it.
    1
  13364. Here's what gets me. If a private company went bankrupt then all power over it would immediately be removed from the directors, and they would be banned from holding similar positions. So surely if a council goes bankrupt then all councilors should be removed from power.
    1
  13365. Expecting Boris to act honourably is about as realistic as expecting a Great White shark to go vegan.
    1
  13366. Let's be very clear on this. Most of us do not regard the likes of this cat torturer as women. Only the woke insist on ignoring common sense. Biological facts don't change just because you refuse to acknowledge them.
    1
  13367. There is one very simple principle we should all work to. That Putin only cares about staying in power, no matter what the price to anyone else. He will happily sacrifice any number of Russian lives and the Russian economy. The more he thinks he might lose his grip on power, the more resources he will try to use. If the Russian people don't "remove" him he will do to Russia what Hitler ultimately did to Germany.
    1
  13368. Of course the BBC uses Hamas supporting witnesses, because they themselves are Hamas supporters. You have no doubt heard the BBC (reluctantly) say that Hamas is designated as being a terrorist organisation by the UK government, but no one has ever heard the BBC themselves call Hamas terrorists.
    1
  13369. Most bed-wetters in the UK swallowed No.10's scaremongering, hook, line and sinker, and supported totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, for a virus that posed a threat to less than 1%. Far from protecting the NHS, this is one of the consequences of people's stupidity and cowardice.
    1
  13370. Very close to 25% of the working-age population are on benefits instead of working. Does anyone genuinely believe that even half of these people are too sick to work? I'm very far from being a fan of Reeves but in this she is spot on, because there are incredible savings to be made in ending this rampant fraud.

  13371. Maybe more people would have taken the "vaccines" if Black Sabbath's "Don't fear the Reaper" had been playing in the places administering them.

  13375. Trump really has learnt his lessons well from his master Putin. Now he is also trying to scare and blackmail the West with the nuclear bogeyman. Several of Russia's recent tests blew up on launch, and it's vastly harder to maintain a nuclear warhead than a propulsion system. Most of that maintenance money, over the last few decades, has been diverted to vodka indulgence or similar.

  13378. I can think of few things more disrespectful (and intensely stupid) than letting nurses salaries get eroded over the years.

  13379. The only thing most of us care about is that we don't end up paying for university courses that are absolutely useless, and waste 3 years of students' lives. If they require higher fees in order to keep going then it's the student who choose to do them that should pay. The proper, useful, courses will always attract enough foreign students, who pay more anyway.

  13380. The raison d'être of the New Year List is to reward cronyism!
    1
  13381. Parkinson's Putin is getting really desperate, and will say anything to save his skin. He has already killed far more Russians than in the whole of the Soviet Union's failed Afghanistan campaign. He promised a spectacular 9th May victory parade, which is now almost certain to be very heavily rained on. I suspect he is now constantly looking over his shoulder for attempts to "remove" him.
    1
  13382. It's one of Putin's "special operations" to create an artificial reef in the Black Sea.

  13383. That's the idea! If you drop dead Labour doesn't have to pay you a pension, and you won't add to the burden on the NHS.

  13384. The email in question was due to be made public a few hours later, so only the most anal retentive are getting their knickers in a twist over this. As for moving these illegal immigrants into hotels, most of us fully support her keeping them in detention centres, rather than squandering our money. No wonder the dinghy boys keep coming, when we have bent lawyers who want to roll out the red carpet for them.

  13385. For the very high propaganda worth, we can be 100% sure that Iran would have shown the world if these sites, or the evil scientists in them, had survived.
    1
  13386. Genuine volunteers who are keen to serve their country. What a contrast to Putin's lies saying he had to mobilise 300,018 rather than just 300,000, because so many wanted to fight for him.
    1
  13387. Die Orcs die
    1
  13388. There are so many people like your friend. But governments, and their mainstream media stooges, are doing everything in their power to make sure the scale of these events is kept hidden.
    1
  13389. The only way this war will expand beyond Ukraine is if Russia attacks somewhere else, and having lost around 200,000 of his Orcs to death or injury Putin is in no position to start fights with other countries. I'm sure even the most brain-washed of Russians realise that if he uses nukes then Russia will be wiped out minutes after he does.

  13391. Well the USA is the lard arse capitol of the world, so could this be the reason for a higher death rate?

  13392. Those of us with a brain have known this all along and not bothered to constantly wash the natural oils and moisture out of our skin. We've also not been doing the totally retarded elbow thing that Boris is famed for. As for licking the walls. Well the fact that so many have believed the government's lies shows that there is no shortage of window lickers in this country.

  13393. I'm betting that the most likely are bed wetting teachers, who despite their 3 jabs still don't want kids to have their normal lives back.

  13395. Well done Norway. Not only is it bad for the dogs, but they are bloody ugly.

  13396. YouTube needs to publish the real names and addresses of all those supporting Putin.
    1
  13397. I do wonder if the Iron Lady would have even considered buggering the hell out of our economy for a virus that only killed between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 300, who were mainly very old and/or very sick. I doubt she would have given much thought to the whimpering of the quivering snowflakes who are frightened of catching covid-19 from their own shadows.
    1
  13398. This is yet another example of how important it is to the WHOLE of Europe that we don't let that insane psychopath Putin win.

  13401. Aha, what did I say. Boris and his mates are hoping what's going on in the Ukraine will deflect attention from Partygate. This is an old and trusted strategy beloved by tyrants everywhere. If you want to divert attention from your misdeeds then have a war: works every time.
    1
  13402. Didn't Chechnya have a go at fighting for independence? Instead of helping mad dog Putin now, along with several other areas, would be a really good time to kick Putin in the nuts.

  13403. The lying, cheating scaremongers in Britain predicted exactly the same. It never happened!
    1
  13404. We all know that Russians are really thick, because they keep someone like Putin in power. But are they really so dense as to believe such complete nonsense? And do the also believe the grossly understated number of deaths? The main reason they are dead is because they were in a country they shouldn't have been in!
    1
  13405. The TRUTH is that most on these protests are pro-Hamas anti-Semites!

  13406. Many years ago I worked with a woman from South Africa. She was very good at her job but couldn't get a job back home. Apparently interviews went like this. "Well Deborah, you've got excellent qualifications and great references. We would really like to give you a job, if only you were black." This is what's called affirmative action. Does it sound fair to you? Perhaps you would feel really comfortable if medical schools and hospitals operated like this.

  13407. This war is going very badly for Putin. NATO getting involved is EXACTLY what he is praying for!

  13411. The trouble with that is that Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are totally dedicated to the annihilation of the state of Israel.
    1
  13412.  @omaral-falahi5005  Free Palestine from Hamas.
    1
  13413. "What went wrong" sums it up perfectly. Unlike Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel never deliberately targets civilians. Sadly mistakes and accidents happen in the heat of battle. And it's all too easy for some desk jockey, sitting safely somewhere else, to pile the blame on those who probably keep a much cooler head (and cleaner trousers) than they would if they were on the front line.

  13414. I'm definitively going to have 100 times as much vaccine as I've already had for COVID. But guess what?

  13415. That's got to have roasted a good few Orcs.
    1
  13416. What about the dangers of locking down and destroying people's jobs, businesses, and children's education and mental health? What about the dangers of trying to force people to take poorly tested vaccines that most of them absolutely do not need?
    1
  13417. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
    1
  13418. There were also massive queues at mostly empty shops to buy "luxuries" that we take for granted.
    1
  13419. Let's be very clear. In this day and age unless there is a truly compelling medical need of some sort men only or women only clubs should be illegal.

  13420. Ukrainians are decent, compassionate people who would happily export their grain, but Psycho Putin is preventing them from doing so.
    1
  13421. So, I guess calling Carrie a brainless bimbo will offend some people?
    1
  13422. We already have a chronic shortage of care workers, so sacking some is like pouring petrol on a fire. Most of those who are unvaccinated now have natural immunity, which is vastly better than vaccination. They gain absolutely nothing from being vaccinated. Watching Downing Street attempt to bully people into getting vaccinated is like watching Basil Fawlty on steroids.
    1
  13423. Judges need to get off their well paid asses and start doing something about this. That natural immunity is far better than vaccination is now irrefutable. Courts need to be ruling mandates that don't recognise natural immunity as illegal.

  13426. Only a Putin fan boy, or a complete moron would want a ceasefire now. Russia would take full advantage of it to regroup and resupply, and then attack again.
    1
  13427. To be fair, the Tories weren't any better, and in fact, by instigating totally unnecessary lockdowns they massively damaged our economy. Of course, they couldn't have imposed these lockdowns without the staunch support of Labour.
    1
  13428. I'm incredibly proud to tell people I haven't been a gullible sheep and taken a poorly tested vaccine that I didn't need. And also proud to claim exemption and not wear a mask. Neither do I wash my hands any more often than I did a few years ago, or worry where I put them.

    1
  13432. Inadequate doesn't begin to cover it. Sunak has CHEATED millions of desperately poor OAPs out of their "triple lock". As a result they will now receive a pension rise well below inflation. Even if their proper rise hadn't been STOLEN from them they would have really struggled.

  13434. Who needs weight loss drugs when one can watch videos like this?

  13435. Perhaps the generals are finally coming to there senses, and realising that their first duty is towards the Russian people. So Putin is removing them before they remove him.

  13436. It's kind of like letting a dangerous criminal rule Russia.

  13437. I'm sick of hearing the bleating of these Islamic fundamentalist sympathisers. Begum left the UK entirely of her own free will. The only thing that really is dangerous is making Britain look even more of a soft touch than it already is!
    1
  13438. This is what stopped me ever trusting the BBC. They deliberately didn't report on anti-lockdown demonstrations, some of which were among the largest protests ever staged in the UK. They also didn't report on the VERY STRONG evidence from research in Cleveland and Israel, which showed that natural immunity after infection was extremely good and long lasting. And, of course, some massive studies showing how totally useless most masks were also seems to have escaped their attention.
    1
  13439. Not just millionaires I spent £3000 last year to get a hernia repair done by one of the best specialists in the country. Money well spent. He did a brilliant job, and if I hadn't paid I'd probably be waiting another year on the NHS.
    1
  13440. I hope regions that want out of Putin's evil empire are also picking up on Russia exhausting itself. Because that's the time for them to make their bid for freedom. As for lifting some sanctions, absolutely no! The countries most affected by not getting Ukraine grain are either Putin supporters, or have sat on the fence, so they are reaping the rewards of their wickedness.

  13443. It's his reward for censoring the news throughout this pandemic, and manipulating interviews to con people into believing that most support the governments measures. That rise is about 3 times the average person's salary. Meanwhile, desperately poor pensioners are being robbed blind with the breaking of the "triple lock", just as energy prices are going through the roof and general inflation is shooting up too.
    1
  13444. Yep, the incontinent psychopath is now really desperate. The West won't divide Russia. States that don't want to be part of Putin's evil empire will THMSELVES choose to leave the Russian Federation.

  13447. Je suis sûr que de nombreux Russes seraient heureux de voir le Kremlin rasé s'il se débarrassait de Poutine.
    1
  13448. In the US there are now several cases where the courts have ruled that someone with natural immunity cannot be forced to have one of these poorly tested vaccines. "Listening to the science" clearly means accepting natural immunity in lieu of vaccination as there is now no doubt that it is far superior. I'm glad "hard statistics" were mentioned, because the government is ignoring the hard statistics about natural immunity. All we need is a few honest supreme court judges to put an end to this tyranny. In Nazi Germany people were told "it's the law", and look where that ended.
    1
  13449. What I would really love to see would be a non-refundable £10 fee for every doctors visit. Not only would it vastly reduce the cancellations, it would also get rid of the high percentage of people who waste GPs' time, that could better be spent on genuinely sick patients.
    1
  13450. Sorry Doc, but you have definitely got it the wrong way round, by a large measure. This is a virus that only has an IFR of 0.3%. Now go and take the reported number of those in the UK who have been infected and multiply by this. You will find that this gives around one third to one quarter the number of deaths that the liars in Downing Street would have us believe are down to covid-19. The same lies are being told worldwide. Governments are working overtime to scare people about a virus that really isn't that bad!
    1
  13451. Would one expect anything different from a deranged psychopath who has poisoned those who criticise him with polonium and nerve gas, or simply had them pushed out of windows?

  13455. Good! Now these Putin supporters know what so many Ukrainians have been suffering with for a year. Russians need to experience a lot more of this.
    1
  13456. What about Biden, while he still has a few days left, doing the right thing, and letting Ukraine make best use of those long-range missiles?
    1
  13457.  @ATF-  Excellent news. If possible the Ukrainians need to turn them around and use them against the other 23 miles.
    1
  13458. This was predicted by the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. The government deliberately, and petulantly, choose to ignore this advice. Just look at Sweden, with no lockdowns, whose death rate was lower. And, as most people live in cities and not Sweden's arctic wilderness, don't believe the idiots making the false lower population density argument.
    1
  13459. Putin will never hand back Crimea, it will have to be taken from him. And there will never be peace until Putin is "removed" from power. Anyone who can't see this is seriously deluded.
    1
  13460. No you have to be white to qualify for such a visit.
    1
  13461. This makes it sound like a good victory in Crimea might well spell the end of Putin's reign in Russia.

  13462. Russians don't want to be conscripted and die for mad dog Putin. Funny that.
    1
  13463. Yes, Reform UK is the only party that will do what urgently need to be done. Rich Boy Sunak was completely useless, and though it's hard to believe TTK is even worse.

  13464. Makes you wonder what's worse, marrying an ugly woman or a stupid woman. Of course this one could be both.
    1
  13465. Yeah! And in a few years the UK will have twice as many auto immune diseases as the EU! I hate to break it to you Boris, but Omicron is a fluffy kitten that's going to safely spread herd immunity, ending this pandemic, and your excuse for tyranny.

  13468. Any negotiation while Putin is still in power would be no different from Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. Putin would simply take some time to regroup and would then attack again, but much more viciously than before. Putin's complete removal from power is an essential prerequisite for peace!

  13474. Very true, but he couldn't have ruined the country without Kier Starmer's and Labour's ardent support. Several recent highly reputable studies have confirmed what the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, told Downing Street right from the start. That lockdowns would be completely ineffective, but incredibly damaging. Without Labour's supporting votes the insanely damaging lockdowns could never have happened!

  13475. A Russian airbase that needs to be hit. Of course, if it is, Putin will report that there was an "accident".

  13476. As South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD, the faster it spreads the better. In fact we should be having Omicron parties. This variant has the very real potential to displace more dangerous variants. More importantly, it may well quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. No wonder the Downing Street Dictators are so frightened of it. Their lies about natural immunity could be laid bare, and people could loose their fear of covid-19.

Even without having the rise they are entitled to STOLEN from them, many would really find the rise in food and heating costs very difficult to manage. People don't' seem to realise, or care, that the UK state pension is one of the meanest in the world!

  13489. Of course if is a whitewash. 1. For a virus with only an IFR of 0.3% or less, that overwhelmingly only threatened the very old and/or very sick, having lockdowns was insane. 2. Bearing in mind the first point, and that those who had had Covid gained excellent natural immunity, 95% or more should never have been vaccinated, even if the vaccines had been very well tested, which they weren't. People were LIED to about natural immunity!

  13494. The very rapid spread of Omicron is really good news, unless you are a satanic politician, trying to do the devil's work and stop it. This is an EXTREMELY MILD variant that offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY spreading herd immunity. The ONLY reason that evil politicians are so frightened of it is that right at the start the REAL experts advised going down the natural herd immunity path, rather than insanely damaging lockdowns, which they said would not work. If Omicron does the job then these wicked politicians will have to face the music!
    1
  13495. As of November about 11 million people of working age aren't working. That's one quarter of the working age population! Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that the vast majority of these people are too sick to work? Just look around at those people you know. Are a quarter of them so ill that they can't work? Is it any wonder then that this country is in such a mess?

  13502. Yes, a (relatively) few people do die because of Covid, but let's look at the very well established, and incontrovertible, FACTS: 1. Covid has NEVER posed a serious risk to more than a small fraction of 1% of the population. 2. Natural immunity, subsequent to infection, is very good, much better than vaccines, and long lasting. 3. We DO NOT know what the long term side effects of mRNA vaccines might be. 4. Several highly reputable studies show that around 95% of the mask worn are useless. 5. Several highly reputable studies found that lockdowns were completely ineffective.

  13505. The very simple fact is that if Boris hadn't been such a bed-wetter then none of this would be happening to him, he would still be PM, and the Tories wouldn't be dreading the next general election. Sars-cov-2 only ever had an IFR of about 0.3%, and even those were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. Lockdowns and restrictions were a totally insane, and unnecessary, over reaction. Sweden, and other countries, managed fine without them, although plenty of LIARS will tell you they didn't.
    1
  13506. Less than a week until Putin's promised extravagant 9th May victory parade. The psychopath is getting really desperate that it might be heavily rained on, causing him extreme, and very public, humiliation. I imagine his commanders have been told that their futures won't be very enjoyable if they don't get results within the next 4 or 5 days.

  13518. Well, as you will see from the current news in the UK, both this and previous governments turned a blind eye to the rape and abuse of girls as young as 12, because the perpetrators were of a certain persuasion that they didn't want to upset.

  13519. And again, those of us not suffering from mental retardation are asking why make a fuss over an EXTREMELY MILD variant that hasn't killed (or possibly even hospitalised) a single person?

  13527. Phil, you may not be prepared to say it publicly, but we all know that the UK and US governments tied our brave soldiers' hands behind their backs, stopping them doing the job properly, and getting it done. They should have been allowed to hit the Taliban camps and safe havens in Pakistan. Since the reason given for going into Afghanistan was to remove a safe haven for terrorists, it is completely illogical that they were allowed to find sanctuary over the border in Pakistan. Bleeding heart liberals, whose bravest deed is changing lanes on the motorway, also helped the Taliban. They made a fuss about alleged abuses of terrorist prisoners, getting Guantanamo Bay shut down, and good soldiers like Alexander Blackman jailed.

  13531. God save the economy, people's education, and mental health from the pessimistic models of these scaredy cat scientists. If anything, the past year has taught us that these scientist grossly exaggerate the risks. On the other hand, what we do know with absolute certainty is that lockdowns and restrictions do immense damage. The idea that having a vaccine passport to encourage uptake amounts to nothing short of coercion. When one thinks of this kind of medical treatment one is reminded of Dr. Mengele and what happened in the Japanese death camps. There is no real difference between physically holding someone down and sticking a needle in them and making life impossible for them if they don't submit themselves for vaccination. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. This epidemiologist has thrown his medical ethics out the window. Yes, young people, and those 25% who now have natural immunity, don't need the vaccine. And a cornerstone of medical ethics says that you do not give people treatment that is of no benefit to them. You also do not force treatment on people for the sole benefit of others. Do we simply throw our ethics out the window whenever they become inconvenient. If we do we are on a very long and slippery slope. By the way it's a lie that people who are vaccinated can still transmit the virus. Yes, those for whom the vaccine didn't work can, and they will also get sick. But for others this is no less than a bold faced lie so that they will continue to "follow the rules".
    1
  13532. Those of us who aren't pathetic frightened snowflakes are really hoping that Omicron infections skyrocket. This IS an EXTREMELY MILD variant that offers the very real prospect of SAFELY giving most people PROPER immunity, thus generating herd immunity, and bringing this pandemic to an end.
    1
  13533. Any ecosystem can only sustain so many freeloaders and parasites before it suffers catastrophic collapse. Britain is perilously close to that point. But it's not just down to migrants. We have far too many of our own playing the mental health card in order to sponge off those who work hard.

  13534. No Snowflakes No Bed Wetters No Wokes.

  13535. There is no statistically significant correlation between lockdowns (or how severe they were) and death rates. Most of those people that died DID NOT die of Covid, and of those that did most would indeed have died soon anyway. Denying truths you don't like doesn't change them.

  13538. So basically, despite all the rape, torture and murder, Putin needs a worse Butcher!
    1
  13539. Unless you are a moronic despot then Omicron spreading like crazy is really good news. South African doctors have described it as EXTEMELY MILD. If it replaces more dangerous variants this would be a very good thing. But even better, it might quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. Maybe this is what Downing Street is so afraid of. That everybody will discover how they have lied about natural immunity, and loose their fear of this virus.
    1
  13540. What a pathetic excuse for a man Drakeford is, but the Welsh reelected him, so they only have themselves to blame. It was the Indian government that first started gibbering about how much worse this variant is. Of course this couldn't possibly be because they are desperately trying to find a scapegoat for the incredible anger that their population is directing against them. Now here's the HONEST hard FACT. There is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that ANY variant is significantly more infectious, more deadly, or likely to circumvent immunity. All we have is scaremongering speculation by cowards who are afraid of their own shadows.
    1
  13541. There are very few things I agree on with Starmer. But he is absolutely right on this and needs to get other European countries to do the same. Also, if possible, we need to persuade Moldova to accept such a peacekeeping force, since Putin will definitely attack them if he can't get at Ukraine.
    1
  13542. Notice who was complaining. If you want women covered from head to toe then bugger off to Iran or Afghanistan, because you are not wanted here. As far as I'm concerned if someone wants to go shopping stark naked that's their right in a free country.

  13547. How naive! Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that Putin will honour anything he agrees to? It's like expecting Hitler to agree to a circumcision and bahmitza, and then go through with it. Putin murdered people in London with polonium and nerve gas, and they had caused him vastly less grief. I expect Putin's FSB goons to go after every single member of Wagner, including anyone even suspected of belonging to it. Russia is infamous for its totally ruthless and brutal purges!

  13557. Behind those waiting lists are people who are dying! Right at the start of this pandemic the REAL experts warned that lockdowns would be ineffective and just cause an insane amount of damage. Instead they advised just isolating the most vulnerable until NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY developed. The imbeciles in Downing Street ignored this advice, which the FACTS now show was/is spot on.

  13563. Of course if you are rich like Sunak and his cronies you can get almost instant access in this country to some of the best specialists in the world. Maybe that's why those with power and wealth don't care what's happening to the NHS. By the way, did you know that NHS dentistry will pull your rear molar out, rather than do a long complicated root canal on it which will save it?
    1
  13564. Most of us realised this because of the BBC reporting (or lack thereof) during the Covid panic. Typical examples of how they handled this were reports about demonstrations over trivial matters, by literally a handful of people, while totally ignoring anti-lockdown demonstrations that stretched for miles. I'll never trust the BBC again.
    1
  13565. Nice one, Blow Job and Hancock! In your bid to con the electorate, so that you could renege on your promise about Christmas, you unwittingly panicked lots of other countries. There have been lots of virus variants. the ONLY reason that this one has been singled out is that Blow Job and his toady Hancock were running out of new ideas with which to scare the more gullible of the public and those in parliament. The "70% more infectious" is currently nothing more than pure conjecture, with no strong scientific evidence to back it up. Hopefully EU countries will quickly realise that Blow Job is simply a bigger liar and cheat than they already know he is.
    1
  13566. Rich Boy Sunak STOLE the pension rise that poor OAPs were entitled to and very badly need. Nothing he has said since has indicated that he has the slightest intention of giving them any help, or even cares what happens to them. Like me, you don't have to like Liz Truss. You just have to realise that having the PENSION THIEF as PM would be a whole lot worse!

  13568. Of course the highly reputable research findings that lockdowns were an abject failure haven't been widely reported. Without them none of these loans would have been needed, and so many companies would still be in business. It isn't even a matter of hindsight as REAL EXPERTS like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta warned, before their implementation, that they wouldn't work, but would cause massive damage. But the government decided to listen to Witless Whitty instead.

But the thing is that it's rolling farmland that's next to our wonderful Trent Park. I don't think any sane person considers this to be "low quality". And, isn't London more than big enough already? Surely it would be much more environmentally friendly to increase the size of other cities?

  13573. For those of us who paid attention to the science and were never even slightly frightened of covid-19, or worried enough to follow "the rules" this is so, so funny.

  13576. To use a phrase Boris himself has been heard to utter, it's time he stopped being a big girl's blouse. With so many in the UK now vaccinated, and 15 million of the most vulnerable having had both jabs, it really is game over for covid-19 in the UK. Yes, we will get the odd death and hospitalisation, but not enough to go headless chicken over. It's PAST time to stop violating people's freedoms!

  13582. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news. This means that it will quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.
    1
  13583. Sorry, but I'm not going to wet my pants over a variant that South African doctors have claimed is EXTREMELY MILD, with still no evidence to refute that claim, after more than 6 weeks. We actually want MORE infections, because this variant may very well quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  13584. If James O'Brien wants things to be fairer then he should start by campaigning for a law that forces the immediate family of MPs to only use state education and the NHS. Then both will see a rapid improvement. You always try to bring everything up to the highest standard, rather than drag things down to a lower standard.

  13588. Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them. People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many!

  13592. Elon Musk may well be one of the richest men in the world, but he really is an overgrown truculent child who quickly turns on anyone who doesn't agree with him or let him have his way. One think is very certain. Musk certainly doesn't have what it takes to be a close adviser of the president of the United States!

  13597. The UK is probably far worse. During the school day teachers get it in the neck from the kids when they are in class, and from management when they aren't. After school they are drowning in totally unnecessary paperwork which does nothing to improve the educational outcome for students. But here's the big fat cherry on the cake. Suppose, for some crazy reason, you still want to teach. Like a mushroom you lap up all the ****, and make your way to the top of the pay scale. Forget about changing schools anymore, because your application will go straight in the bin, in favour of someone younger and cheaper. Ah, but what if you don't want to change schools? Well a lot of UK schools will use something called "capability" to encourage you to resign, or sack you if you don't take the hint.

  13598. It's not just over here. Just look at the level of tyranny in Australia. What was done to Novak had absolutely nothing to do with the science or public health. It was purely about the gangster kingpins showing Australia's inmates who was boss.

  13599. QUID PRO QUO! It's time Russians got a taste of what Ukrainians have been experiencing. Though, unlike Putin and his Orcs, I doubt Ukraine will resort to murdering defenceless women and children.

  13603. Putin was never serious about peace talks. But in the light of Ukraine's spectacular "special military operation" he will now look weak if if agrees to anything.

  13604. Many employers are struggling to fill vacancies, while tens of thousands who could fill them CHOOSE instead to sponge off those who do work. Next door to me is one such woman in her 50s. I don't think she has ever done a full days work in her entire life. So many people could relate similar tales. These PARASITES should be stripped of their benefits!

  13612. People need to understand the lengths Boris will go to to get his way. The man (I use the word very loosely) is totally without honour or integrity. Only yesterday, as a run up to today's vote, he lied to the nation telling them that Omicron had killed someone in a UK hospital, and that it wasn't EXTREMELY MILD. Why are people so intensely gullible? Think about it. This variant has been going strong in South Africa for about 6 weeks now, and has spread throughout the world. What are the odds that just before his vote Boris is the one to find the one and only death in the whole world?

Well Boris, if they weren't having most of their time wasted on enforcing your fascist covid-19 restrictions perhaps they would have a lot more time to tackle real crime. And how much time will they be expected to waste, acting like SS and Gestapo offices, when you tell them to enforce vaccine passports.

  13622. So, for a PEACEFUL protest massive numbers of police turn out in riot gear, and are backed up by snipers. Does this sound like what happens in a democratic country? What kind of parliament allows a power crazed maniac like Trudeau to do this, instead of removing him? And what kind of police comply with such orders, instead of phoning in sick? Has history really not taught them that "I was just following orders" simply won't wash.

  13625. This is why, RIGHT NOW, the West needs to do everything it can to exacerbate Putin's troop shortages.
    1
  13626. So let me get this absolutely clear. Because the police were too busy harassing those involved in peaceful protests, (as many of us have been saying for months) they weren't dealing with real crime. But, even worse, while they were happy to arrest peaceful protesters, real criminals were given a "get out of jail free" card and not arrested. Are most people in this country too stupid to realise just how bad this is?
    1
  13627. A good percentage of that 8 million are OAPs whom Rich Boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock", so that their pension rise is now well below inflation. He should give them back the rise they are entitled to that he STOLE from them.

  13630. I'm sure most Gestapo officers would say they don't have a choice. But here's the right choice. Stop helping a despotic Nazi government oppress the people it is meant to serve. The sars-cov-2 virus kills well under 1%, and those who recover then have excellent very long lasting immunity. This is not like Ebola, and the measures taken are totally unjustified. This is the exercise of power just for the hell of it. People are fighting for their basic human rights and freedom.
    1
  13631. No Maybes. Putin used polonium and nerve agents on people in London who caused him far less grief. If Prigozhin was a bit brighter he would have realised that once he started it was win or die. Who knows how many might have gone over to his side if he hadn't bottled it. To paraphrase a famous TV series: "you win the game of tsars or die".
    1
  13632. Right at the start the REAL experts, like Professor Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, warned that lockdowns wouldn't work, and would be disastrous. A few months later these experts published the same advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was signed by many thousands of scientists. This and other governments made a very deliberate decision to ignore these experts!
    1
  13633. Which is really funny as the ONS has just released the number of healthy people that have actually died from covid-19. It's nowhere near the 150,000 that the government likes to quote. It's just 17,500, and almost all of them were over 65!

  13634. These are the same kind of people who caused a panic over toilet rolls.
    1
  13635. Unfortunately, Putin is a psychopath, whose job is on the line, and maybe even his life. So, like a compulsive gambler, he won't let up. Also, if he is indeed suffering from Parkinson's he has relatively little to lose. Therefore it's likely that this will only end with his "removal" from power.

  13636. I wonder how long it will be before intelligent, rational people are being locked up for saying that ALL religion is superstitious nonsense?

  13638. What they really need are lots of the kind of drones that took out that Al Qaeda animal.

  13639. When you seriously damage your country's economy, and get over 200,000 of your people either killed or seriously injured, then you had better have something really good to show for it. Putin's very existence is at stake if he doesn't deliver a victory soon, and even a compulsive gambler wouldn't bet on that.

  13640. I wonder if in a few decades time some PM will be pledging justice for victims of the Covid vaccine?

  13643. Wake up people! The corrupt and incompetent WHO is LYING to everyone! This should be called the Fluffy Kitten variant, because it is so innocuous. South Africa doctors have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact, with these rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines proving to be not that effective this is the perfect opportunity to let what is essentially a harmless variant give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. A hot off the press Harvard study has just found that NOBODY who recovered from covid-19 suffered reinfection!
    1
  13644. I was talking to a neighbour a few years older than me yesterday. She agreed with me when I said that when Sunak was at school he was probably one of those boys that regularly had his head shoved down the toilet. We were also in agreement that the last decent Tory PM was Margaret Thatcher.

  13645. After more than 3 years you would have thought that even someone as thick as Putin would have realised he can't scare the West with his empty threats about nukes, which his own people will never allow him to use.

  13647. You ONLY get a shortage of GOOD candidates when the rewards of the job don't match the qualifications and effort needed to do it. If only parents in the UK knew the dire quality of so many who are teaching their kids. I suspect many have doubts about their kids' teachers, but they ignore them rather than face up to an unpleasant truth that would keep them awake at night.

  13648. I'm voting Reform UK, but they didn't do themselves any favours last night at about 6:25 pm on ITV. A screen just saying "this is an election broadcast for Reform UK" being displayed for several minutes made them look unprepared. Someone should have been parachuted in. Even someone like me saying, off the cuff, why you shouldn't vote Labour or Tory would have been much better than just that screen.

  13652. Just looking at this none too bright creep makes my blood boil. For what they do our doctors DESERVE a lot more. His background, unsurprisingly, is law. Those of his ilk are nowhere near as intelligent, don't work anywhere near as hard as doctors, and do far less good. In fact they often do harm! Yet they are paid vastly more. This cannot be right.
    1
  13653. One thing the PENSION THIEF didn't push the boat out on was the state pension. He CHEATED millions of very poor OAPs out of their triple lock. Even without Rich Boy Sunak STEALING what OAPs were entitled to many would have struggled desperately. For millions of impoverished pensioners Sunak has made what would have been a very bad situation vastly worse!
    1
  13654. It would work a lot better if the cowards in the Bank of England had raised interest rates by at least 0.5% instead of a pathetic 0.25%, which shows that they haven't got the guts to make the hard calls. If, from the start we had had a few 0.5% rises we might well be out of the woods now, AND on a slightly lower interest rate!

  13668. This poll should convince even the thickest and most cowardly voter that voting for Reform UK is now the best way to keep Labour out of number 10. But why are we not seeing party political broadcasts by Reform UK. Is mainstream media deliberately giving voters an incorrect impression of how things really are?

  13671. Do people feel no shame for the incredible damage being inflicted on so many by these lockdowns? Countless millions of young people have had their lives destroyed, whether it be their school or university education, or their first steps into the world of work. Many of those bit older have seen everything they worked so hard for wiped out: their jobs, businesses, and a decent place to live. Along with all this suffering the number of people experiencing mental health issues has skyrocketed. And for what? For a virus that kills about 1 in 1000 people, who are overwhelmingly very old or very sick. These people should be isolating carefully enough so that everyone else can get on with their lives. It is grossly immoral and selfish to sacrifice the other 999 out of 1000 for that 1 in 1000 who has probably lived a good and very long life. This evil lockdown madness needs to end!

There's a woman in her 50s or early 60s, living next door to me. Nobody can recall her having ever done a proper day's work in her entire life. She is definitely not disabled, and even at home she displays unbelievable laziness and selfishness.

  13677. Imagine you are a government that told people that mRNA vaccines were incredibly safe, and even nudged and coerced people into getting them, and having their children get them too. Imagine that you are a main stream media company that fully supported these governments, and went the extra mile to censor anything that went against the narrative. Would you be in a hurry for countless millions to find out that they had been misled? With every passing day I become happier that I wasn't stupid and gullible enough to take a Covid "vaccine".

  13688. Before swallowing the propaganda about how bad things are in India people need to look at RATES, not raw numbers. Is this so hard to grasp? India has a very large population so we should expect more cases and deaths. This is really obvious. If you actually look at cases/deaths per million of the population then, compared to other countries, India DOESN'T look to be doing particularly badly. But then that wouldn't be much of a news story.😉

  13692. In the UK those of certain ethnicities and religious persuasions seem to be completely above the law. If I went along to a Man U football match and sang "who's that dying on the runway" I'd be arrested for what most regard as simply very bad taste. But certain people seem to have carte blanche to sexually abuse young girls, express hatred towards Jews, and scream Jihad.

  13693. Kira is so right about "Putin's plan". He knows that democracy's Achilles heel is it's fickle electorate, which was in part responsible for the West giving up and handing Afghanistan over to the Taliban. He hopes that if he holds out long enough then the West will also give up on Ukraine. In particular he is banking on Trump becoming president again in a year's time. What Ukraine has achieved is very laudable, and remarkable, but bearing in mind the above it absolutely must continue its counter-offensive over the winter, and not let the Russians dig in again as they did during last winter's pause, on a truly massive scale.

There's no proof that naturally immunity in those recovering from Delta is any less excellent, than that of those who have recovered from other variants. I.e. really good immunity that may well last a lifetime! Once these dumb-ass politicians find that they can no longer scare people with Delta you can bet your bottom dollar they will choose another Greek letter and start conning people all over again.

  13697. Of course we know that there have been no anti-lockdown protests, anywhere in the world, because the BBC hasn't reported on any of them. As the BBC assures us, everybody, everywhere, is fully supportive of having there freedom and liberty butt-raped.

  13705. What amazes me are all the idiots that have fallen for the low-fat products. You lose a lot of the taste, feel less satisfied, and probably actually end up eating more as a result. The secret isn't low fat foods, it's moderation and a reasonably active lifestyle.

  13706. We still give foreign aid to countries like India, which are well able to look after their own poor, but simply don't give a s**t about them!

  13711. I believe Trump was seriously yearning for a Noble Peace Prize, by quickly ending this war. Regardless of what was right or wrong he was prepared to side with whoever he thought most likely to deliver this for him. Just maybe the penny is finally beginning to drop that siding with the (very) bad guy will never achieve this.

  13712. I'd let lots of bunker busting bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities do the negotiating for me.

  13713. Looking at the number of Russian deaths, and 6 of his generals being killed, Ukraine has turned into Putin's worst nightmare, and he will probably soon be removed from power: maybe violently. He would like nothing more than for NATO to give him an excuse, that he could sell to those losing patience with him, to escalate things!
    1
  13714. Let's be honest. Most of Europe probably enjoyed their Christmases far more under Nazi occupation! It's way passed the stage where we really do need some of these despotic leaders to have a very nasty "accident".

  13715. Here's the thing. There isn't a single variant that natural immunity or the Pzifer, Moderna, or Asta-Zeneca vaccines have been shown to be ineffective against. And no variant has been shown to be more deadly. People need to stop being gullible schmucks. First we had the Kent variant, now we have the Delta variant. Other crap I've heard is talk of a Kent/Delta hybrid, and the Delta Plus variant. The new variant is a grifters dream; it's the con that keeps on giving. Get wise people! Power crazy, bent politicians are milking this for all it's worth, because frightened people are willing to give up their rights and freedom, and are much easier to control.

  13716. Let's be honest. Cressida Dick has blood on her hands, and she should have gone long ago for that alone. If, early in this pandemic she had had the integrity and courage to prioritise fighting REAL crime and protecting the public from criminals then Sarah Everard would most definitely still be alive. Instead, she deployed the MET to harass people for sitting on park benches and go nuclear on people exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. Sarah was lured to her death on the pretext of breaking lockdown. If Dick(head) had used the MET properly then they wouldn't have had any time to act as Hancock's Gestapo and so the pretext for Sarah's "arrest" would not have been credible. Dick's lack of integrity is directly responsible for this young woman's death!

  13720. According to the South African doctors who have the most experience of this variant, it's symptoms are EXTREMELY MILD. It should probably be called the Fluffy Kitten variant. If Downing Street didn't spaz out, this might be a perfect opportunity for those who haven't had covid-19, or been vaccinated, to safely acquire rock solid natural immunity. Of course, the truth is that the Downing Street Dictators have been desperately searching for an excuse to bring back masks, and have a Christmas lockdown. So they have made a pathetic grasp at a very weak straw: a "variant of NO concern".

Now, if someone were to go and shoot Blow Job or HandOnCock (preferably both) I would most certainly go out and clap for them until my hands hurt. And I suspect most of the UK would be doing so with me.

Unlike the dictators in other countries he didn't sacrifice the welfare of over 99% of the population in a vain attempt to keep alive a fraction of a percentage, who were mainly very old and/or very sick, and would have died soon anyway. Brazilians didn't see their jobs and businesses needlessly destroyed. They didn't see their children's education and mental health buggered to hell. The ones that should be put on trial are those like the Australian government and Downing Street.

  13733. Thank you for being honest about long term immunity. People really need to know this, but the government seems absolutely determined to suppress this fact. Let's look at the implications of this. The NHS is screaming for more PPE. However a lot of it's staff are now immune and so don't need it. But it's not simply a matter of not needing it. One can work much more efficiently and much more comfortably without wearing PPE, so it's highly desirable that those who don't need it don't wear it. Taking the well established 0.3% IFR for covid-19 means that if the government's 75,000 death toll were honest then we would have 25 million recovered, and hence immune, people in the UK. That's getting on for nearly 40% of the population. But we know that Blow Job and Hancock are pathological liars, so 25% is probably more realistic. But all these people, if given immunity certification could be packed into restaurants, pubs, theatres, cinemas etc. They could make a big enough difference to keep many businesses solvent. Also, none of these people need vaccinating.

All that the decades of these failed policies have done is to line the pockets of gangsters by making what would otherwise be virtually worthless very expensive. It has also fueled a staggering amount of crime by those who will do anything to afford their fix. Anyone other than a half-wit politician can see that we need to treat ALL drugs more like alcohol and tobacco. Educate people about their dangers, try to make consumption much safer for those who won't listen, and try to help them kick their habit. Without high drug prices a staggering amount of crime would disappear overnight. By the way, I don't do drugs, or smoke, and only have an occasional drink.

Take a look at what's going on in France. A lot of them have finally decided that enough is enough. Covid-19 won't kill you. It touches well under 1%. But the government with their restrictions and experimental vaccines may well do so.

During the insane panic over covid-19 many Tory backbenchers strongly opposed the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions: for a virus that posed a risk to less than 1%. They knew the economic carnage that would be caused, and that would disproportionately hurt the poorest. But thanks to Starmer's unquestioning and unstinting support Downing Street got its lockdowns and restrictions. If it weren't for Starmer we would be laughing along with the Swedes, who did really well without any.

As for the rest, most of them are at negligible risk from this virus. So this insane isolation nonsense, which is so damaging to business and kids education, really does need to end. Even the stupid people who downloaded the NHS app are now starting to delete it. Maybe that's why the government is so keen to tie in (unnecessary) vaccine passports into it.

  13769. Before going after ALL Russian oligarchs we ought to ask the question about how many of them genuinely support Putin. Could it be that many aren't living in Russia precisely because they want to keep a safe distance from him? Also, principles are great, but acknowledging REALITY is far more useful. Let's review the FACTS: 1. Russia has had a firm hold on the Crimea for years. 2. Russia now holds the two Ukraine areas with Russian speakers. 3. As things stand things are getting worse in the Ukraine with no chance of it ever joining NATO. So, IN REALITY, other than our principles and politicians' bruised egos, we don't actually lose anything by accepting Moscow's demands. The damage to Ukraine and the rest of Europe is going to be truly immense if this continues, and I doubt most people who have really thought things through want to pay such a high price.

Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to healthy people, so the vast majority DON'T NEED vaccination. Added to this is that we cannot be certain that this use of mRNA technology will not have adverse long term effects. FIRST, DO NO HARM!

I think it is absolutely essential that NATO and the US make it very clear to the Russian people that they will not make first use of nuclear weapons, but that if any are used against a NATO city then all of Russia's major cities will suffer immediate obliteration. Putin probably doesn't care, but I'm sure some of those who are in a position to "remove" him have children that they love.

  13802. Well there you have it. Sunak really does consider the great unwashed to be complete schmucks. Where are those 50,000 more nurses going to come from? Our own nurses and doctors are leaving in droves. They are spoilt for choice with other countries falling over backward to pay them more AND treat them a lot better. Even if he can build another 40 hospitals he won't be able to staff them! And let us not forget that our chronic shortage is going to be exasperated by the sacking of those who won't take a poorly tested vaccine that they definitely don't need. Most health workers have come into contact with plenty of people infected with covid-19. They have had covid-19, recovered from it, and now have natural immunity that has been shown to be both better and longer lasting (maybe a lifetime) than any immunity induced by vaccination.
    1
  13803. 9 out of 10 hospitalisations are over 80. Just finish vaccinating those over 80, and give them their second dose within the RECOMMENDED time. Once this is done hosipitalisations WILL plummet, so all these MAD restrictions can end. It really doesn't matter how many infections there are if few end up in hospital. In fact the more there are the quicker most will achieve natural immunity: thus giving herd immunity. Actually, about 25% of the population are already immune. So they don't need, and indeed shouldn't be given, any vaccine.

Now that all the kids have been gathered together it will be easier to give them a poorly tested vaccine that they absolutely do not need.

  13818. I'm not very supportive of mass vaccination for covid-19. It should be kept for the relatively few who need it. The vast majority are having these poorly tested vaccines purely to protect well under 1% of the population. A recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that, far from 150,000 deaths, only about 17,500 otherwise healthy people were killed by covid-19, and almost all were over 65. The vaccination of perfectly healthy people, at NEGLIGIBLE risk, is completely at odds with medical ethics!

The God fearing may well see this variant as his Christmas present to the world.

If the BBC is so bloody good then it should be able to do without stealing money from those who don't even watch or listen to it. But the thing is, like in former Iron Curtain countries, the BBC is now the government's lapdog. Throughout this pandemic it has enthusiastically pushed government propaganda, and vigorously suppressed news that the government didn't want us hearing. No wonder it's Downing Street paymasters are so protective about it.

  13826. The crazy thing is that there are countries like Georgia which have had 20% of their land stolen, and regions within the Russian federation who want out. If they all struck back now Russia is so weakened that we would see a quick end to Putin, the Russian Federation and and none of Russia's neighbours would ever have to live in fear again.

  13830. I just mention this: 22,000 Polish officers. With the sole exception of the Holocaust, in all other instances the Russians committed far more atrocities than the Nazis. Today's Russian military appears to be just as bad.

  13832. I'm not a Labour supporter, but I can honestly say that when it comes to nasty you can't get much worse than our current cabinet. Almost to a man, or woman, they are like a gang of nasty viscous schoolboys, who when they are not hurting those outside the gang are busy stabbing each other in the back.

  13840. Putin clearly stated his aims in his "Historic Russia" speech. You've got to be dumber than dumb not to see that rewarding his aggression in even the smallest measure will only encourage him to attack more countries. Exactly this scenario played out in Munich 1938!

  13848. Trump is incredibly jealous of Obama's Nobel Peace prize, and desperately covets one of his own. In his warped psyche he believed that no matter how he brought a quick end to the war it would earn him some nominations. As far as he was concerned even giving Putin virtually everything and Ukraine nothing was an acceptable means. Now, however, that quick end shows no sign of happening.

Though, to be honest, I suspect YouTube would remove such reports: they are not very good when it comes to doing the decent thing.

  13873. "Part of the snowflake generation" hits the nail very squarely on the head. Most so-called mental health issues are people who don't have the strength of character to bite their lip and get on with life. Years ago people were ashamed to be labeled as being mentally ill. Now they seem to wear such labels like a badge of pride, using them to excuse their pathetic behaviour.

    1
  13876. You've got to laugh about this. The BBC is keen to report on these lockdown protests. Yet during the UK lockdowns it assiduously avoided reporting on some of the really massive anti-lockdown protests that occurred in this country.

  13879. Much as I'm a fan of Ukraine forces, I think it's going to take more than 14 UK tanks to achieve a "rapid defeat". Now, if Germany were to stop blocking Poland and Finland from sending Leopard tanks, and maybe also send some (preferably this century), then a rapid defeat would look more likely. But even then Ukraine probably needs the kind of armaments necessary to take out Russian bases in Russia: and let's not forget the Kerch bridge, which is due for another visit.

  13882. Ukraine can rely on support from the UK and Poland, but expecting anything from cowardly Scholz is very unrealistic. Many of us suspect that Germany has always secretly nurtured the hope that Putin will win quickly, so that the Russian gas again flows into Germany. Hopefully Poland and Finland will send Ukraine those Leopard tanks ASAP, without waiting for permission that will never come. Likewise, only a complete imbecile, or Putin supporter, would consider any ceasefire or negotiation with him. No negotiation is needed, because Russia has not been attacked, and the fighting will stop as soon as all the Orcs are withdrawn from the whole of Ukraine, including Crimea.

  13909. Those holding Putin's leash, and the Russian people are fast running out of patience with him. He is getting really desperate, and so putting incredible pressure on his generals to produce a quick victory that he can sell to everyone. This is why it's so important that he is denied his victory in Donbas. The cowardly, dishonourable Germans making good on their promises of arms NOW might make a difference. But I don't expect that they will ever deliver what they promised so long ago.

Less than a couple of weeks ago there was a very large, but very peaceful demo in Amsterdam, but the police used violence to break it up.

Has it ever seemed strange that all their soldiers and equipment are spotless, and that no Ukrainian targets are ever shown being hit? Most are clearly manufactured at a Russia film studio, or at a Russian military training camp. My favourite was the one where we see shells being launched from a wood in winter and landing in a field in summer. Clearly the Kremin are sending them chroniton torpedoes.

  13942. If the truth in the US is anything like the truth in the UK then the "State of Emergency" was a gross abuse of power and the democratic process. In the UK we are told that 150,000 have been killed by covid-19. However a recent freedom of information request revealed that only 17,500 people with no underlying health issues died, and almost all were over 65. Most people have been, and still are, at NEGLIGIBLE risk from covid-19. The advice of the REAL experts, published months later in the Great Barrington Declaration, should have been followed. The only action that should have been taken was the isolation of the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. What kind of dysfunctional societies virtually shut themselves down for something that only affect's a small fraction of 1% of the population?
    1
  13943. In one of today's BBC news articles Trump was quoted as saying "maybe I'm now immune". What really infuriated me was the following statement that the WHO is still denying there is long term immunity. This scaremongering , from an organisation like this, is completely unacceptable. The evidence of long term immunity is now very strong. Given the incredible damage being done by lockdowns their childish obstinacy is completely unethical. I now agree with Trump cutting their funding and other nations should do the same. Such organisations need to be run by level headed scientists, not frightened children.

  13945. Of course the excess deaths are still around, and they will continue to be for many years to come. That mRNA, which has been detected 28 days later in the blood, has been integrated into random cells all over the body. The antigens they now produce are constantly nudging the immune system. How quickly it reacts will vary a lot from person to person. Note also that if a moving average line was put through that excess deaths graph it would show that these deaths were INCREASING over time!

  13956. What's going on in Ukraine is truly abhorrent, but it's going to get vastly worse there, and in most of Europe if we insist on standing by our "principles" and the fragile egos of our so-called "leaders". The FACTS are: 1. The Crimea has been part of Russia for several years now, and that won't change. 2. Russia now has complete control of the Russian speaking areas of Ukraine, which won't change. 3. Short of starting WW III NATO is not going to get a foothold in the Ukraine. Since these are Moscow's demands, we don't really lose anything by giving them what they ALREADY have. But by not doing so many more people are going to die, the Ukraine will be destroyed, and the cost to the whole of Europe will be ruinous: and that's the OPTIMISTIC SENARIO. Other than politicians' injured pride, is there anything to be gained by continuing this? Finally, before vaunting our wonderful democratic principals, we ought NOT TO FORGET how OUR governments have trampled on them with their covid rules.

  13976. Liam Fox is right. If Ukraine is allowed to fall then every country bordering Russia, and ALSO Ukraine, will be in terrible danger. This will also give the green light to Emperor Xi to invade Taiwan. No matter what the price, Russia must be completely driven out of Ukraine, and that includes Crimea. And who knows, when Georgia sees this it may remove its puppet government and retake the 20% of its stolen land. This could start a domino effect that puts an end to the Russian Federation once and for all. In fact, this is now Putin's biggest fear.

This is like worrying about lightening striking you. It could happen, but you don't cower inside, because it's extremely unlikely.

  13997. If stupid and cowardly governments, including the UK, had listened to far brighter, and less skittish, scientists. This pandemic would now be over. The mistake was having lookdowns at all, NOT having them too late. The Great Barrington Declaration was drafted by eminent scientists from around the world, but the advice given in it had been offered to governments many months before. Rather than insane lockdowns, it was advised that only the most vulnerable should be isolated until herd immunity developed. Since over 99% aren't seriously affected by sars-cov-2 one has to be intensely stupid not to recognise how good this advice is. Following it would almost certainly have resulted in fewer deaths.

  14005. As Sweden clearly shows no special preparation was needed, and definitely no lockdowns. Several recent reputable studies have concluded that lockdowns were completely useless. Of course, the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta said this right from the start, and repeated their warnings a few months later in the Great Barrington Declaration. But like a petulant child the government ignored their advice: a massive crime against the people of Britain. Also shown to be completely useless were the vast majority of masks.

  14010. We are in this awful situation for one reason only. Because people were stupid and cowardly enough to accept the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. This, far more than anything else, is what has wrecked our economy. Sars-cov-2 posed hardly any threat to over 99% of the population, but people let themselves be brainwashed by Downing Street's propaganda. I bet the Swedish economy is doing vastly better.

  14011. Aren't people just a little fed up with this baseless panicking? These nasty, frightened little boys in Downing Street are infringing people's rights, and making their lives a misery "just in case" there's a big bad variant hiding in the bushes. The FACT is that after 18 months we haven't got strong scientific or statistical evidence to support any variant being significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have is ministers gibbering like frightened children over the very remote possibility that variants are suddenly going to start behaving totally differently than they have in the last 18 months. Is this a valid excuse for messing with people's lives?

None of the data still coming out of South Africa changes the initial characterisation of this variant being EXTREMELY MILD: in fact the evidence for this is strengthening. Downing Street really, really don't want this to happen, because they will then be forced to answer questions that they don't even want people asking themselves. This is what they so afraid of.

  14027. So Nazi rule has finally come to the UK. Young people, for whom covid-19 poses negligible risk, are going to be forced into vaccination if they want to live the normal life of people their age. If the government is allowed to get away with this we will see it expanded more and more. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES! It should also be added that a high proportion of young people have already had covid-19, and many more will by September. These people will then have excellent long term natural immunity, which is probably better than that conferred by vaccination. Vaccinating them does nobody the slightest good. It's like going out with a watering can after it's been raining solidly for the week.

If the media are anything like ours in the UK then they richly deserve to be soaked in urine. Our media have vigorously suppressed news that didn't support the government's lockdown, and other measures, while at the same time presenting carefully selected interviews to give the false impression that support for the government was very strong. You know a quick way to end all this violence? Stop violating people's freedom and basic human rights. People are fighting for their freedom! Doesn't the construction industry have some very large vehicles that they could use to easily break up the police lines?

  14061. Because these vaccines haven't been around for long it is impossible to be absolutely certain that there won't be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the longer term.

"Hard to justify" is a gross understatement.

  14085. The gold standard would be for moronic politicians to stop all the Chicken Little panicking and drop all restrictions.

That will soon even the playing field!

  14086. Vaccines every year seems like another twist to the total insanity we've endured for almost a year. At the moment there is every indication that the natural immunity acquired by ALL those who have had covid-19 is long term. Out of the many millions of people who have recovered from covid-19 there have literally only been a handful of reinfections confirmed WORLDWIDE. By any statistical measure this is overwhelming evidence for long term immunity, akin to physicists' five 9s requirement. Covid-19 poses virtually no risk to 999 out of every 1000 people. They will attain long term immunity all by themselves. How dare the Downing Street retards suggest jabbing them very year!

Unless you are unbelievably stupid it's not hard to work out that when a quarter of children are off school, and businesses are being brought to their knees, because of the NHS app, then there is something very badly wrong with it. Alright, you must have been a bit dim to download it in the first place, but are you really so incredibly stupid as to keep it. Do yourself, and the country a big favour. DELETE this app right now. It's the right thing to do, and you will feel a lot better as soon as you do it.

So far as I know only one recruitment office has been firebombed, and one recruitment officer shot.

  14127. The scaremongering over covid-19 is totally unjustified. Unfortunately, like many natural systems, our climate represents what's know to scientists and mathematicians as a chaotic system. What this means is that a small perturbation can cause a major shift in the system. So it may not be certain, but it is indeed possible that we could find ourselves in really deep s**t in the not too distant future.

  14129. Don't believe the "long covid" scaremongering. Think back to before all this mass hysteria began.

There is no such thing as "long covid" just people recovering more slowly and differently.

There are quite a few books like this, which show that you don't have to have much money to put good food on the table. These "poor parents" are lazy and selfish. They ARE freeloaders, who shouldn't have children, because they are not prepared to look after them properly.

  14142. Are there still idiots who don't understand that Putin is as least as bad as Hitler, and probably a lot worse. Giving Hitler territory didn't work. Acquiescing to his Anschluss and seizure of the Sudetenland merely whet his appetite for yet more land!

  14143. Don't waste those shells! Delaying an offensive gives the Orcs time to regroup, build defenses and resupply. The best time to strike ones opponent is when they are down!

  14144. What most people forget is that one of the major causes of the collapse of the Soviet Union was the crippling cost of the Cold War arms race. As long as the West holds its resolve and continues to support Ukraine it's an economic certainty that this will eventually bankrupt Russia. Of course, Putin and his fanboys dearly want us to believe that Russia is not severely suffering financially.

  14145. When are people in this country going to understand that you have to pay people fairly in relation to the skill, hardship, and necessity of their job: and that you have to do all you can to insure that their working conditions are as good as possible. HGV drivers deserve to be treated and paid far better. If they had been then we wouldn't now be in this mess. As for 5000 visa's lasting less than 3 months, when there are 100,000 vacancies, this is an imbecilic response. A Polish driver on the news said exactly what I said a few days ago. By the time an application is submitted, and glacially processed by the Home Office, it will only be worth about 2 months. The driver interviewed confirmed my statement that at least a year (from visa approval) is needed.

  14149. It's nice to know that Australian politicians are just as big lying scumbags as those in the UK. As Israel and the UK have shown, vaccinating everyone is NOT the answer, because immunity due to vaccination wanes after a few months. But IGNORED, large and respected studies in Israel and Cleveland suggest, NATURAL immunity is better, and may last a lifetime. So end all the useless and damaging lockdowns, and vaccinating people who don't need it. Just isolate the most vulnerable until they alone have been vaccinated: with booster shots, just for them, if necessary.

When I lived in New Zealand I used to teach some of their kids at a private sixth form college. They were great students to teach, by the way. Yes, Xi is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, just like Putin, but China needs the massive amount of trade it does with the West and I'm not sure that even Xi would dare to seriously jeopardise this.

For a virus that posed no threat to 99% of the population, and a vastly smaller one to children, the way the UK treated young people was an act of the utmost selfishness and cravenness. So many have had their education and mental health wrecked, by a cowardly society that should protect and nurture its young, who are its future.

  14160. As someone else posted, Hitler tried exactly the same with England, during the Blitz. Far from encouraging surrender, it only make people more determined to fight. Hitler led Germany to total ruin, and Putin will do the same to Russia if he isn't "removed" from power.

  14171. You will also wait in vain to see any mention on the BBC or ITV 6pm news of vaccine mRNA being found in breast milk. These poorly tested vaccines are doing LOTS of things they are not meant to do. Mainstream media is still covering up for governments, but eventually the truth will come out. I'm just so glad I wasn't stupid enough to take these Covid vaccines.

  14172. Neil, almost all parents have just stood by and let the government bugger their children's education and mental health to hell, without so much as a murmur of dissent. There were no protests about closing schools or cancelling exams. Therefore I think we can confidently predict that if the government tells parents to vaccinate their kids, no matter how young, most parents will be eager to comply.

At the moment there is a fair chance that, BECAUSE NATO ISN'T DIRECTLY INVOLVED, a few powerful men in Russia are able to hold Putin's leash, and stop him invading NATO allies. If NATO starts shooting down Russian planes over the Ukraine then they will lose their grip on his leash, and we WILL have WW III. Do these people have the slightest idea of the cost to their children? Covid-19 is/was nothing to worry about compared to what's happening now!

Previously it has attacked their apartment blocks, schools and hospitals, and now it is trying to deprive them of electricity and water.

  14200. If something happens that makes NATO put boots on the ground in Ukraine, and pilots in its skies then this will be a good thing, which is long overdue. The West needs to stop being afraid of a pathetic, frightened psychopath, because Putin is in no position to open fronts in any other country. He's already got more than he can cope with just in Ukraine.
    1
  14201. Surely no one can be stupid enough to believe an incontinent psychopath. Putin has neither the troops nor the armaments to open up further fronts. These are the desperate, empty threats of a wounded, cornered, frightened animal, who can see the wolves closing in on him. While he might be prepared to use nuclear weapons, I'm sure there are those, who have children and families they don't want nuked in return, who are in a position to stop him.

Also, Ukraine needs the means to take out those Russian ships in the Black Sea that are shelling the crap out of their southern cities. All this would indeed be defensive.

  14210. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that covid-19 death rates are obscenely inflated. Look at it like this, to take but one very simple example. Starmer has tested positive 6 times. Surely nobody is truly that mentally enfeebled as to believe that he has actually had covid-19 even half of those times? The PCR is a truly brilliant invention, but it was never intended to be (ab)used in this manner. A positive test does NOT prove that you have covid-19. And a positive test within 28 days of dying is even LESS LIKELY to indicate that covid-19 played a part in your death.

  14211. How the Republicans must love Biden. By having him as their candidate the Democrats are handing them the presidency on a plate!

  14212. The IFR for covid-19 is well established at about 0.3%. If one then takes the government's infection figures this would lead us to expect in the region of 9,000 deaths, NOT 80,000. With this in mind, an honest, decent government would immediately ask themselves whether it was in fact their lockdowns and restrictions that were the cause of the vast majority of the excess deaths, rather than covid-19. But we all know that honesty, decency, and integrity are qualities that are totally lacking in those at Downing Street. And here's the COMPLETE CON being reported in today's news: So-called "research" tested 6,614 people, who had previously had positive antibody tests, for the virus. Unsurprisingly they got successful PCR results for the virus in 44 people. But as any doctor knows very well immunity doesn't mean you never get any viral particles in your body again. It means that they are recognised very quickly and eliminated: stopping you develop the disease or spread it. This is so dishonest. These results are being presented as evidence that people will catch the virus again and be able to spread it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are too scientifically illiterate to see through this lie.

  14215. BBC pre-moderates comments on their "Have Your Say" web page. It also bans people from it if they regularly post comments that the BBC doesn't endorse. And they aren't even honest enough to tell people they have been banned. You get a message telling you "there was a problem posting your comment". Another similar player is Times Educational Supplement. They have an equally dishonest strategy. They appear to post your comment, but if you refresh the page you will see that it has vanished.

  14216. No need to strike, as universities are still cheating students. I'm currently helping a lad who has just started at my old college, Kings College London. Some work shy lecturers are still fobbing them off with online crap. As he said to me, in a lecture hall he could at least put his hand up to ask a question, whereas attempts to ask anything during an online rip-off just get ignored. Students pay a king's ransom for university courses. This selfish, cowardly online swindle needs to be stopped!

  14217. This is but one of the many dire consequences of lockdowns that the REAL EXPERTS warned about, as well as warning that they wouldn't be effective. And several highly reputable studies have now concluded that lockdowns where completely useless. This has also been the case in regard to mask wearing, with regard to the vast majority worn. Why didn't the government listen to those who actually knew what they were talking about?

  14218. We have a very dishonest and self-serving government that will do whatever they think is in their best interests, and will not hesitate to lie to people and mislead them. Given this undeniable fact, you have to be intensely stupid not to question how safe these vaccines are. They may be safe, but the truth is that without having seen them in use for years we simply cannot know if there will be any long term adverse effects. I'm certainly not claiming they are, but let's just say they had a small carcinogenic effect. It would take years for this to show up, and could be exceedingly difficult to track down to a vaccine. Is anyone naïve enough to believe the government gives a toss about about things like this?

  14223. I've worked in what was considered to be a good all-boys school, where I was actually quite popular, but even so it could still be much like a zoo at times. As there were no girls there one could hardly say that the boys were ignored, or denigrated, in favour of them. You sound like a typical man. Always making excuses for your shortcomings instead of owning up to them, and trying to do something about them.

  14224. It's 2 years to the next election, and a lot can happen in that time. Tories also need to remember that Starmer is a self-serving incompetent who couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery. Even people who aren't too bright have plenty of time for this discovery this

  14225. But, guess what? It probably won't evade natural immunity, which research from Israel indicates is 13 times better than vaccination.
    1
  14226. Removing juries, in order to get more convictions is outrageous, and very dangerous. There's a reason for not getting the convictions. It's because 12 people are not convinced that the defendant is guilty. If certain lawyers are deliberately, and successfully, misleading juries then its the corrupt lawyers that need to go, not the juries!

  14227. The trouble is that for meaningful peace talks both sides have to genuinely desire peace. Unfortunately mad dog Putin only desires more power, by destroying Ukraine or installing one of his puppets.
    1
  14228. As I've said before, in the US doctors live in constant fear of being sued. So they are far quicker to refer people to hospital: better safe than sued. So US are being clogged up with people who are perfectly healthy.
    1
  14229. That would probably be most of us.
    1
  14230. That natural immunity is both far better and longer lasting than what the rushed through vaccines achieve has been known for a long time. Unfortunately, with the connivance of most mainstream media this fact has been strongly suppressed, and often even lied about.

  14231. He succeeded with a lot of people. Even today there are still plenty of mask wankers, despite the latest research showing that those worn by the vast majority were absolutely useless.

  14232. We WANT lots of disruptions to Russian gas supplies as this will deprive Russia of a significant amount of revenue. Also, if the likes of Hungary were no longer able to receive Russian gas then they might stop kissing Putin's arse.

  14233. The UK's SUN did a great video of Russian vehicles taken out one after another, accompanied by the song "Highway to Hell".

  14234. Unfortunately the people are still just bleating, like frightened sheep lined up at an abattoir, instead of FIGHTING back: which is the ONLY way things will change. And just look at the picture of all those women still covering their hair. Every single woman in Iran who wants change should be going round with their head uncovered!
    1
  14235. That's what I did, but by the time most people get another chance will there be anything worth saving? I wonder what percentage of the country will still be working. My post, 3 hours ago, saying that a quarter of the working age population isn't working appears to have been hidden by TTK's YouTube cronies.

  14236. I'd much rather take some aspartame than one of the WHO's recommended mRNA vaccines.
    1
  14237. It has been known for many decades that psilocybin could sometimes very successfully treat psychiatric conditions that are resistant to all other treatment. From the very limited research, this also appears to be the case with LSD too. But dumb-ass politicians are too fond of black and white solutions, when they often don't exist. There are countless examples of medicines whose successful use is critically dependent on correct dosage and who they are used on. People are suffering needlessly, and even dying, because of politicians irrational reaction to certain drugs.

  14238. Protecting the jobs, conditions and pensions of existing workers is acceptable. However there should be laws against striking over losing jobs by natural wastage, or asking new employees to accept different conditions or pension arrangements. And breaching such laws should be very severely punished!

  14239. No! Lack of self control prompts craving for cake (chocolate and crisps) in both men and women.

  14240. There is massive mineral wealth under that ice which is now rapidly melting. Trump sees less than 60,000 inhabitants and thinks that because they can't defend what is theirs that this gives him the right to steal it from them. That's the kind of man (using the word very loosely) that he is.
    1
  14241. Don't hold your breath waiting for these FRAUDULENT lawyers to receive hefty prison sentences: or deportation. The judges they appear before are lawyers themselves and so show solidarity with them. Imagine what would happen to our legal system if lawyers started to fear getting punished for their wrong doing.
    1
  14242. India has a very large population so we need to take this into account in order to get a reasonable perspective, rather than panicking irrationally. In fact, looking right now at India's death RATE we see that it is incredibly LOW. It is just 127 per million. Compare this with the UK's death rate that is 1,908 per million. Things don't look nearly so bad in this context, do they?
    1
  14243.  @saibalkumar614  Even at 635 per million the figure remains low compared to most countries. So still nothing to get even remotely excited about.
    1
  14244. So, because of the behaviour of the MINORITY bigoted DUP, the whole of the UK could lose out. Westminster should declare that Stormont is open for business and if the DUP don't show then they simply don't get to vote on issues that are proposed there by Sinn Fein. That would make them return fast enough!
    1
  14245. Does this pathetic excuse for a man not appreciate that we are now at herd immunity? That means we don't need any restrictions, because: 1. There's a very good chance anyone going abroad to ANY country is now protected. 2. Even if they come back infected it WON'T spread. Sorry (not really) Hancock, but there is no rational reason why you should still be able to act like a little Hitler. Time to crawl back under your stone.

  14246. To the best of my knowledge, a few decades ago the the NUS was making donations to the likes of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the PLO. So they have been highly anti-Semitic for quite some time!

  14248. Dream on. Labour has a massive majority, and many of them cheered when this fuel allowance was cut. But, according to recent reports, around £45,000 a year is being spent on each illegal migrant!

  14249. I've had covid-19 and my sister have had covid-19, we are both over 60. Quite a few of my neighbours who are even older have had it. Even for us old fossils it was no big deal, and it's even less of one for younger people. Australians, wake up and smell the polish on the jack boots. You've been suckered into accepting a Nazi dictatorship in what was once one of the freest countries un the world.

  14250. Emperor Xi is prepared to go to war to add Taiwan to his empire. In total contrast the US doesn't want to take over Taiwan, but just defend its freedom and independence.

  14251. If all the bloody morons who submit themselves for testing simply stopped it would be game over. What these cretins don't understand is that going to get tested when your not feeling sick doesn't make you even slightly safer. Then again, if the UK wasn't stuffed to the gills with cowardly retards, we would have followed the advice, made published months later in the Great Barrington Declaration, and gone for herd immunity from the start. This was the ONLY sensible solution.

  14264. Tyrants hate, and fear, being faced down in public, especially by celebrities who might influence people. As for the ordinary Aussies getting their knickers in a twist, it's because Novak has shown them what gullible, spineless, schmucks they are. As Mark Twain said: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." Novak wins either way. If the reigning champion doesn't play then the Open will be a complete farce.
    1
  14265. In most countries it's often known who the drug lords are. So we should play them at their own game, and do what they did to this journalist. Instead of wasting public money trying to catch them red-handed, and fattening up the bent lawyers who defend them, our special forces or secret services should discretely put a bullet through their heads.

  14268. Putin can't even mount an effective counter-attack on Kursk. That should tell you everything you need to know about his ability to take on NATO.

  14269. Dan, you are right. This is the kind of idea we would expect a psychiatric hospital inmate to come up with. If only we could demand a high level of intelligence before one could become an MP. Our parliament and cabinet would look very different.

  14271. This pathetic excuse for a man or a PM is now frightened of his own shadow. Folks, place your bets. We've had the Denmark variant, the UK variant, the South African variant, and now it's the Brazil variant. Which country do you think Blow Job is going to pull out of his hat next, to be worried about?

  14273. How much would it cost to install some Nissen huts on some of our 1000's of uninhabited islands? I'm guessing it would cost a lot less than £700m. I'm also fairly certain that illegals would stop coming if this was where they knew that they would end up. Even Tony Blair suggested doing this!

  14277. Excellent decision. Instead of appreciating a society that accords women equal rights, she decided to move to one where men regard their camels more highly than than women. It was her own free choice, so she can stay with these rabid fundamentalists, and good riddance!
    1
  14278. For many decades the UK and US have enjoyed a special relationship. Now one hopeless, dim witted PM is going to destroy this. And the trouble is that even if Labour chooses another "leader" they are very likely to be just as bad or even worse.

  14279. Trump talks and then quickly changes his mind. Save the applause until he actually does something significant.

  14287. Yes, both Trump and Musk are preeminent examples that neither great intelligence, or great maturity are needed to become very rich. Trump also shows that the same is true to be successful in politics, and that most people don't seem to care about integrity either.
    1
  14288. The long established DEMOCRATIC way of doing things in this country is that a party gets FOUR YEARS. Yet Starmer seems to think that he's entitled to a general election after just two.
    1
  14289. One thing is absolutely certain. No matter when Putin comes to the table it won't be with the slightest intention of establishing lasting peace. Only strong military deterrents in countries neighbouring Russia will discourage future aggression. Whenever negotiating with Putin ALWAYS bear in mind the fable of "The Scorpion and the Frog". And I'd be much more inclined to trust the scorpion!

  14290. There are many desperately poor people in the UK, and our nurses are, without doubt, underpaid. You put out the fire in your own house before you rush across the road to put out your neighbour's fire!

  14291. Yes, it didn't look much like an air defence system to me. But then, have you ever seen a Russian MoD video showing a genuine hit on a military target? Now, if the had showen lots of defenceless women and children getting blown up that would have been highly credible. The Russians are very good at that.

  14292. I wonder if so many of the Turkish, who depend on tourism, realise just how many people won't visit Turkey because it has a rabid fundamentalist chauvinist pig for a president.
    1
  14293. Allowing Putin any sort of victory is likely to be as disastrous as Neville Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations. Also it would be giving the green light to Emperor Xi's invasion of Taiwan.
    1
  14294. 9 out of 10 hospitalisations are over 80, and most of these have now been vaccinated. So it is HIGHLY LIKELY that hospitalisations will plumet VERY SOON. In fact, we may even already be seeing the start of this. Given this, what kind of complete retard decides that now would be a good time to give our aviation industry another damn good kicking?
    1
  14295. If drugs weren't illegal their value would plummet, making it uneconomical to cultivate both coca and opium poppies. But, like Xi and his zero covid policy, politicians don't want to admit that they are doing it all wrong.
    1
  14296. Given the very small size of the drones, and their minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched within Moscow itself, or very close to the city. So it's reasonably likely that might even have been launched by Putin's own FSB goons, in order to frighten Russians into supporting him more.
    1
  14297. Another knee jerk reaction from this retarded government, whose only effect will be to further crucify what's left of our travel industry. I wonder if these imbeciles appreciate that Brazil actually has a LOWER death rate than the UK, despite not having any immensely damaging lockdowns and tier restrictions? This would cause any decent and honest government to strongly question their approach. But then honesty and decency are totally lacking in the Sodom and Gomorrah that is Downing Street.
    1
  14298. Nothing like a good old-fashioned Stalinist purge to reassure you that Russia hasn't changed much in nearly a century.
    1
  14299. Apart from getting his arse well and truly spanked, we need to remember that Putin is a completely deranged psychopath, and a very desperate one at that. Once his Orcs have withdrawn he may well commit yet another of the criminal atrocities that are his hallmark.
    1
  14300. There's a very simple answer, which is a lot cheaper than Rwanda. These dinghy boys have come from France. So dump them and their dinghies back in the water, as close to France as possible.
    1
  14301. And positively evil if you are also straight.
    1
  14302. Stop making excuses for Germany and tell the truth. When the gas was still flowing Germany dragged its heels on helping Ukraine because it didn't want Putin to turn off the gas. Now that the gas has been turned off Germany is still dragging its heels in the hope that Putin will reward them by turning it back on. THIS is the simple TRUTH!

  14306. Tell it to that insane psychopath Putin.

  14307. Ukrainians do all in their power to get civilians out of harm's way. In total contrast, Hamas and Hezbollah go out of their way to use them as human shields, and regard their deaths as good propaganda.
    1
  14308. The South African doctors have said that this variant is EXTREMELY MILD. A better name for it would be the Fluffy Kitten variant. Unlike these rushed through, poorly tested vaccines, NATURAL IMMUNITY works extremely well. So instead of making a mountain out of a molehill, the dumb-asses in Downing Street should let Fluffy Kitten spread and do the job they can't: give people PROPER immunity.
    1
  14309. Just days off 65, how have I survived without these vaccines, not wearing masks, and making zero effort to keep away from those who had covid-19? Oh I know. It's because for over 99% of us covid-19 is less bother than a bad cold!
    1
  14310. It is amazing that so many people are willing to obey bad rules, rather than simply ignoring them or standing up to them. If enough people refused to obey the lockdowns and restrictions they would be over in a few days. Mainstream media is colluding with government to keep this outrage going. Just look at the kind of people they interview who say they support what's happening. They are usually frightened older people who are economically secure and with nothing to lose. Media is suppressing the truth that most people no longer support this rape of our liberty and freedom. In 1930s Germany people chose not to make a stand against laws that were clearly bad and wrong. If they had refused to accept them then millions of lives might not have been lost, and unspeakable atrocities might never have happened.

  14317. Yawn: even Tony Blair said it. Immediately after they land, whisk the dinghy boys straight off to a bleak, remote Scottish island. So much cheaper than the Rwanda scheme, and I absolutely guarantee that illegals will very quickly decide to remain in France.
    1
  14318. But how much more damage like this dam destruction are we going to allow Putin to commit before he is defeated? Incidentally, life imprisonment or the firing squad is far too generous for this rabid animal. One of the more inventive medieval deaths would be much more appropriate.
    1
  14319. It's not providence. There are many, even in Russia, who oppose this war and are leaking information to Ukrainian forces.
    1
  14320. Quite a while back I stopped watching the BBC news because I couldn't stand the dishonesty any longer. They never reported any of the massive anti-lockdown protests that were happening all over the world. They only showed carefully selected interviews of people who supported the government's measures. And they never reported the TRUE facts about natural immunity. For the past two years the BBC has acted like a state television channel in a former Iron Curtain country.
    1
  14321. You beat me to exactly the same comment.
    1
  14322. Well one thing is beyond dispute. HS2 won't work at all if it is terminated at Old Oak Common. Taking services that exist now would be faster and more convenient. HS2 is a monument to jaw dropping government incompetence and corruption.

  14323. Why bother. Grant Shapps is a complete and utter *anker who brown noses and says exactly what his bosses want to hear. There's nothing else anyone needs to know about him.

  14324. Trump wants to believe that he is the world's best deal maker. Part of believing this is trusting and believing Putin, despite all evidence to the contrary.
    1
  14325. The incredible censorship, that Goebbels would have been immensely proud of, during the Covid scare (I won't dignify it by calling it a pandemic) should have taught us all that the BBC can't be trusted.

  14326. Yes, Nicola the knicker wetter strikes again. Well Scot's re-elected this pathetic woman, so they deserve all the misery she heaps on them.
    1
  14327. To hell with the government's snowflake concern about amber (or even red) listed countries. Almost all the most vulnerable have now had both doses of the vaccine, so we are not going to see deaths and hospitalisations increasing significantly no matter what country people visit. And people's lives certainly shouldn't be put on hold for those who refused the vaccine: or for the miniscule proportion of immune compromised people. It's way past time the government stopped infringing peoples rights for a virus that is now exceedingly unlikely to overwhelm the NHS.
    1
  14328. Turkey has just jailed someone for insulting its president. This is NOT acceptable behaviour for a NATO member that is meant to support democracy. If push comes to shove then most of us would much rather see too proper democracies like Finland and Sweden in NATO than Turkey!
    1
  14329. One suspects that the Russian army is recruited from the dregs of society, who would otherwise be in prison. But that's what one would expect from someone like Putin, who should himself be in somewhere like Broadmoor.
    1
  14330. This headteacher needs to keep her mouth shut. People like her just sit in their office all day, do no teaching, and their inane dictates often make life harder for those who do teach! How is someone who sits in an office all day "here for the children"?
    1
  14331. Nach Syrien und der Hinrichtung eines Generals, der ein Kriegsverbrecher war, ist dies ein wirklich guter Zeitpunkt, den Druck auf Putin zu erhöhen. Aber warum hat YouTube den Originalkommentar auf Englisch gelöscht?Vielleicht lieben sie Putin?
    1
  14332. There are many other countries that SHOULD also chip in. Russia can't pull missiles (or troops) out of a magic hut. Make no mistake, this war IS wearing Russia down, and there are lots of regions and countries like Georgia that WILL take a piece out of Russia Federation once they judge it to be sufficiently weakened. Our ultimate aim needs to be to so weaken Russia that it will never again pose a threat to civilised countries.
    1
  14333. Let's talk about higher gas prices. You know who this will hurt the most? Pensioners, who feel the cold and need to keep themselves warm. And just to really put the boot in they are to have their proper, and now badly needed, pension rise stolen from them by the government breaking yet another promise about the "triple lock". So, this would have given pensioners a princely 8%. Sounds a lot doesn't it, but 8% of a pittance, is a yet smaller pittance. Someone on minimum wage typically earns 2.5 times as much as a pensioner gets, and we all know how much they struggle. Even before what will be eye watering gas price rises, that 8% isn't looking at all extravagant.

  14334. Je l'ai déjà dit en anglais, mais YouTube l'a supprimé. Lorsque les gens sont empêchés de s'exprimer verbalement, peut-être le feront-ils de manière plus explicite. TTK envisage-t-il également d'augmenter le nombre de pompiers ?

  14335. Unfortunately, most Russian commanders are chosen for their unquestioning obedience, rather than their intellect, and so are very easily replaced.
    1
  14336. Thanks for sharing some very interesting statistics. It's very sad to see that a respected scientist like Mark Walport has become a government stooge. He must clearly be well aware of what you have covered today. With the IFR now known to be so low, it really is shameful that he is feeding the panic. Someone like him would be well aware that despite the rising infection rate there is very little chance of our hospitals being overwhelmed again. So even with increasing infections there is very little chance of the UK GENUINELY "losing control", because controlling the infection rate for its own sake is both incredibly stupid (Boris and cabinet take a bow) and damaging.
    1
  14337. Morons! This is a virus that kills well under 1%. Anybody with half a brain would simply isolate the most vulnerable until they had been vaccinated, or herd immunity has developed, and let the over 99%, who are not at risk, get on with their lives.

  14340. No decent nation deliberately seeks to put its people in as much harm's way as possible. It is Hamas's policy to position its bases as close as possible to schools, hospitals and refugee camps: sometimes even within them. They could easily have set up their bases far away from places like this. Look how the Israelis and Ukrainians do all they can to get their civilians out of dangerous areas, while Hamas does exactly the opposite.
    1
  14341. Putin is a pathetic, frightened, little man, and all the recent attacks have made him even more scared. He is like a condemned man blabbering to try and save his life as he is marched to the scaffold. I wonder how many of his generals would be prepared to see their families and loved ones nuked just to keep Putin in power?

  14342. It's rumored that, in her budget, Reeves is planning to scrap the less than fair or generous 25% council tax discount, and take away the Freedom Pass that so many use to help them with their shopping.

  14343. Proper pay rises for deserving nurses and doctors could easily be afforded if 2/3 of the totally unnecessary managers and admin staff in the NHS were dismissed immediately. Over the years the number of these bloodsucking parasites has increased like a virulent cancer, sucking the life out of the NHS, and the doctors and nurses who do the real work.
    1
  14344. As murdering defenceless women and children gains one no military advantage, of course it's not going to stop Ukrainian forces. The Nazis employed similar tactics, though not on the same scale as the Russians, and it didn't help them in the least.

  14345. Putin himself will never do this. His fate is now inextricably linked to that of Ukraine.
    1
  14346. This is why it would be a really good time for Georgia to take back the 20% of its territory that Putin stole. And there are probably other regions too that shouldn't squander this opportunity when Russia is at its weakest.
    1
  14347. Get all the Baba Yagas signed up. They can suffocate the enemy with a stint of face sitting.
    1
  14348. Should we really be calling this a "Russian war"? It seems to me that in this instance it is very much the war of one mentally unstable psychopath. It does seem quite likely that Putin is suffering with rapidly advancing Parkinson's, and is very anxious to carve a large page in history for himself before he ends up in nappies and a wheelchair. The Soviet Union, with less losses or humiliation, pulled out of Afghanistan. So it seems to me that Russia's best strategy, by far, would be to "remove" Putin from power and blame everything on him.

  14349. Very well said Peter. These restrictions are like a rapidly growing malignant cancer in society. The tumor that is now Downing Street needs to be cut out before the damage is irreversible. Unfortunately, it may already be too late!

  14350. When are these chinless PPE wonders going to finally understand the cost of not embracing clean, reliable, nuclear power? It's precisely because of this that France is able to help us out by supplying us with electricity in times of need!
    1
  14351. I think we all know the Russians are lying. Only the Putin fan boys believed the "accident" line.
    1
  14352. The ICC needs to put a "wanted dead or alive" bounty on Putin's head.

  14353. Very pretty fireworks. I hope there was plenty of roast pig to go with them.

  14354. So many evil bastards all in one place. Think of the good one very large bomb dropped on it could do.

  14355. Peace will come when Putin and his Hammer Horror look alike sidekick are "removed" from power.

  14356. Anyone who isn't a complete idiot knows that once you give into nuclear blackmail it will be used time and time again: and not just by Putin.

  14357. Would Rishi Sunak's cunning plans involve sticking a pencil up each nostril?

  14358. Germany has always been cowardly and unreliable.

  14359. It would be shameful if NATO and the West allowed Ukraine to run out of the weapons it needs to drive the Orc infestation from its lands.

  14360. Let me help you Yvette. Look between your legs. If someone is born with what you've got there then they are a woman. If they were born with something dangling then they are a man. Do you think you can remember that?
    1
  14361. Cowardly voters should note that this means voting Reform UK or LibDem is definitely not a wasted vote that helps Labour: despite the Tories desperately lying about this.
    1
  14362. Before Wales got its assembly there used to be lots of sheep jokes. Now it's those running the country, and those who voted for them, that are a much bigger joke.
    1
  14363. Many years ago I knew a very honest and decent man who didn't make it as far up in the police force in Rochdale as one might have expected. I gather that he had a tendency to speak his mind, so one could draw some pretty damning conjectures to explain him not getting further up the ladder. However, let's not forget that the Tories were in power for a lot of the time that little 12 year-old girls were being raped.

  14364.  @ajohn8541  What part of the "even with lots of under reporting" are you too stupid to understand?
    1
  14365.  tom the cat123  You keep telling yourself that. No doubt you also believe in Father Christmas, and that the world is flat.🤣
    1
  14366. Russia has got all it can handle just fighting in Ukraine. Even if NATO put boots on the ground in Ukraine Russia is in no position to attack NATO countries.
    1
  14367. Yep, get your banjo out and squeal like a pig, boy.
    1
  14368. Sadly there are still an awful lot of brain dead voters. Their parents always voted Labour or Conservative, they have always done the same, and will continue to do so no matter what.
    1
  14369. I wonder if places like Georgia are watching all this, because it seems to me that that there has never been a better time for them to take back the 20% of their land that Putin stole from them. And I gather there are other regions that want out from under Putin's control. Now is the time to strike: such an opportunity may never come again!
    1
  14370. Want to stop this? Then for every strike on a Ukrainian city there needs to be a strike on a Russian city. Personally I'd pack some of that radioactive waste from Chernobyl into each drone so that every one that the Orcs shot down spread much more radioactivity than if it had hit its target.

  14371. They used to be called bed blockers. This would be a really good use for the Nightingales.
    1
  14372. Years ago the Isle of Man had a reputation for not having such problems, because they administered the BIRCH!
    1
  14373. I went out and voted Reform UK. But I fear most Brits are too stupid and cowardly to do the same. Rather than choose the party that might actually help them, most choose either the Tories or Labour solely on the basis of which they think will hurt them least.
    1
  14374. This bear is going down!
    1
  14375. Allowing someone to escape deportation by renouncing citizenship is laughable nonsense. Only a bent lawyer would go along with this.
    1
  14376. A stupid solution, from a stupid man. Even an imbecile could tell you that visas need to be based on what jobs need filling, not how much they pay. We also need to get real about those who genuinely can't work, because it certainly isn't the over 2 million that are gouging us hardworking taxpayers.
    1
  14377.  @AA-ln8wq  Hopefully you meant clown. The thought of lots of Boris clones would certainly qualify as a terror.
    1
  14378. This must be at least the third ultimatum that Trump has given Putin. I wonder if anyone has told him that the whole world is now laughing at him?

  14379. Great news. Happy Orc hunting.

  14380. Sooner or later she will also dump whining Harry.
    1
  14381. Putin has seen the Taliban win in Afghanistan, against the might of the West, simply by waiting for the West to tire. He is betting on exactly the same thing happening in Ukraine. However, let's be clear the people in Afghanistan were abject cowards who weren't prepared to fight for themselves. Our brave soldiers didn't deserve to die for them. But the Ukrainians are a courageous people who are worthy of our sustained support until Russia is defeated.
    1
  14382. If Trump wasn't standing in the way of tougher sanctions this would bring down Putin before too long.
    1
  14383. Also for cycling on the pavement.
    1
  14384. The Ukrainians aren't rabid animals, like Putin's Orcs. Destroying something like St. Basil's would be a tragic loss for the entire world. But there is no shortage of Russian infrastructure just begging to be destroyed: railways, bridges, dams, power stations, to name but a few.
    1
  14385. Almost all of those now infected will shrug off this virus more easily than a bad cold. So only the most craven of snowflakes will worry about whether there are going to be 50,000 or 100,000 cases. Being a "glass half full" sort of guy, I tend look look on almost all current cases as mother nature doing some of her own vaccination.
    1
  14386. Well, if the vast amount of UNNECESSARY paperwork was removed, and all the woke stuff, they might stand a better chance of doing this.
    1
  14387. It seems like the only growth industry in Britain is crime of all sorts: and it's massive growth. Most of us think it's due to being VERY soft on crime, but the government tells us that we are all wrong.
    1
  14388. It's like watch something out of a post apocalyptical B movie.
    1
  14389. I've previously made a few harsh comments on Biden's mental state. However, in this instance he is calling it exactly as we all see it. Unless you are one of Putin's fan boys there is not the slightest doubts that he has committed genocide.
    1
  14390. It's important to know, and the Nobel peace prize commission is waiting for an answer to this question.
    1
  14391. Putin's mother had a defect during production.
    1
  14392. Mark this nonsense has to stop now, otherwise it's going to go on forever. Is this the kind of country people want for themselves or their children? People hiding their faces behind masks, lockdowns and curfews whenever the government feels like it, and very limited freedoms being bought at the price of an unwanted (and unneeded) injection. And it won't just be for covid-19. If we continue to let the government get away with this we will see it also applied to season flu. Unfortunately there is a sizeable minority of pathetic snowflakes who fully support, neigh welcome, this oppression. You see them everywhere, clinging to their masks when everyone else is showing their face like honest men and women.
    1
  14393. Lefties and wokes only believe in democracy and free speech for those who agree with them. This certainly isn't new.
    1
  14394. It will mark the end as long as dumb-ass governments are UNSUCCESSFUL in stopping its spread. This EXTREMELY MILD variant has the very real potential to SAFELY generate PROPER herd immunity. The problem is that when this happens the despots lose their grip on power and start having a LOT of explaining to do.
    1
  14395. It's not just about Ukraine. There are other Russian neighbours that want to loosen links with Moscow, and regions that REALLY want out of the Russian Federation. Destroying Ukraine as much as possible is Putin's attempt to frighten anywhere else from stepping out of line. Of course the truth is that with Russia so weakened now there has never been a better time to make a bid for freedom, and such an opportunity may not come again. In fact, a concerted action by several countries and regions might well put an end to the Russian Federation once and for all.
    1
  14396. Anyone whose vote is influenced by this is so stupid that they shouldn't be allowed to vote!
    1
  14397. I'm starting to hate the WHO with a passion. Comments like " three new COVID-19 variants that are present in India may have contributed to its latest surge" are very unhelpful. There is absolutely no evidence for this, and such remarks just cause needless anxiety and panic. Please, everyone, do remember that relative to its population size India is doing VERY WELL compared to many other countries like the UK. Even if there has been a lot of under reporting of cases this still holds true.
    1
  14398. The Orcs need to remember two important things: 1. Prevailing Westerlies would blow a lot of radioactive leakage straight into Russia. 2. Ukraine has easy access to plenty of radioactive material with which to make dirty bombs/drones to contaminate Russia with. This could be done by just a group of very angry individuals wanting payback, even if the government didn't approve such action.
    1
  14399. So we have a 70 year-old psychopath, who now soils himself, telling young Russians that dying at less than half his age is no big deal.
    1
  14400. Boris is renowned as a pathological liar, who breaks his word and promises at the drop of a hat. So no intelligent person should pay the slightest attention to what he says.
    1
  14401. Let's tell it as it is. Firstly we have a cabinet that is full of innumerate and scientifically illiterate ministers. Secondly they are LIARS. They have scared the hell out most people. They have gone out of their way not to assuage fears by truthfully telling people that the risk posed by covid-19, to over 99% is very small. And they have also lied about long term immunity for those who have contracted and recovered from covid-19. Why has Blow Job and his clowns done this? My guess would be that they get off on all the power the emergency powers have given them. I'm in no doubt that Sweden's approach was/is the correct one. If you want to amuse yourself with my parody of BJ then click on my picture.
    1
  14402. The real reason Greta hasn't been invited is very simple. All these hypocritical w@nkers are going to pat each other on the back, and tell each other how much they care about the planet. They don't want somebody who is going to tell them that they are just a bunch of hypocrites spouting empty rhetoric.
    1
  14403. Is there really such a thing as "Long Covid"? Think about it. You probably know about someone who has complained that they got flu months ago, but still haven't completely recovered from it. But we don't talk about long flu. How quickly people recover, from so many things, varies, and there will always be some on the curve who get better incredibly quickly and some at the other end who take a really long time. Blow Job and Hancock realised that people were beginning to realise that this virus posed a really tiny risk to them, and that there definitely was long term immunity to it. They needed a new angle with which to scare people. So, they came up with Long Covid. In fact they are now refining this scare by having that scumbag Ferguson try and scare people into worrying about getting long term lung damage. After all they aren't having that much success convincing most people to take a rushed vaccine against something that is a negligible risk to them.
    1
  14404. So true, and an a**e that's taking a mega dump on the people of this country.
    1
  14405. We don't need any of this, or to pay France 100's of millions. All that's needed is to treat illegal migrants like the French do. Keep them in tents and don't give them any free benefits. Not only will the small boats stop coming, we will probably see some leaving!
    1
  14406. Sadly Trump seems determined to throw Putin a lifeline, rather than forcing him out of the whole of Ukraine, including Crimea. I suspect this is because Trump has his piggy eyes on Greenland. He wants Putin strong enough so that they can divvy up the country between them: just like two maniacs divvied up Poland in 1939.
    1
  14407. The man who did this should have exactly the same done to him: in public and immediately.
    1
  14408. I imagine that there are many Russians who do have a strong suspicion of what's going on, but they are like those shouting "Sieg Heil" at the Nuremberg rallies, and will deny it to themselves. As they say "evil flourishes when good men are silent".
    1
  14409. This could have been a report about the 7th Oct atrocities, because Hamas have the same agenda as the Nazis. But the UN do-gooders don't want to hear this.
    1
  14410. That means that we can expect to see lots more defenseless women and children murdered, but nothing of any military significance achieved.
    1
  14411. If attacks on Ukraine are being launched from Russian territory then the bases they are being launched from, need to be destroyed in order to defend Ukraine, and are therefore legitimate targets. The UK should not be tying Ukraine's hands in this matter.
    1
  14412. Those who break their promises ALWAYS have good reasons for doing so. And no doubt Starmer will have really good reasons for any other promises he might break. Of course, I'm not claiming that Sunak is any better.
    1
  14413. Parasitic politicians, who have never done an honest days work in their lives, are taking the bread out of the mouths of hardworking men and women and their families! And their Gestapo police force are tear gassing and pepper spraying decent people who just want to be able to put bread on the table for their children. The fight needs to continue until the corrupt despotic Nazis have been removed from power!
    1
  14414. What the very PC BBC won't mention is that the UK is the fattest country in Europe by a very large margin. Being fat is a significant factor in dying from covid-19, so this may well explain the higher death rate. Perhaps instead of calling them covid-19 deaths a lot of them should be recorded as being due to cream cakes and crisps.
    1
  14415. With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what government are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out!
    1
  14416. Take a good look at show presenters and you will soon realise that they are hired based on disability, obesity and ethnicity. I'm just wondering how long the few white attractive women presenters will last.
    1
  14417. It is looking more and more likely that Trump will become president again.
    1
  14418. Don't cry too hard, BBC.
    1
  14419. Have you ever come across a book called the Bible? It clearly demonstrates, without any room for argument, that the Israel is located in what has been the Jews' home for 1000s of years.
    1
  14420. Ukraine has already killed off around 200,000 of Putin's Orcs. If they can launch another big offensive then hopefully we will see at least another 200,000 eradicated. We have puppet governments in Belarus, and maybe Georgia, and the latter has had 20% of their land stolen. There are also regions that want out of the Russian Federation. Sooner or later these will take advantage of Putin's weakness, which might lead to the complete collapse of this evil federation.
    1
  14421. These people might well have had covid-19 before or when they died. But the vast majority of them most certainly were NOT killed by covid-19!
    1
  14422. So Starmer hates the rich, the right-wing, and the working class. Does that leave anyone? Oh, maybe ILLEGAL immigrants to fall into any of these groups.
    1
  14423. Letting an organisation that wants to do what Hitler failed to do exist is far more dangerous.
    1
  14424. "with covid-19" If I died wearing frilly knickers would you claim that they killed me? I'll bet those 12 were very old and/or very sick and would have probably died anyway. Also, take a look at how many people in Victoria die each day. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
    1
  14425. Putin can barely hold it together in Ukraine. Attacking NATO would be suicide for him, especially as several regions are probably just biding their time to secede from his evil Russian Federation, that is sending their young men to their death.
    1
  14426. Russia is very weakened, both militarily and economically, at the moment. So Europe can defend itself by throwing its full support behind Ukraine, and NOT letting Putin recuperate and rearm. In doing so there is a reasonable chance of Putin being "removed" from power, and even some chance that the Russian Federation might break apart. We mustn't let Trump throw Putin the lifeline that he so desperately needs!
    1
  14427. No, she has taken some of the heat off them by showing that she is by far the biggest knicker wetter.
    1
  14428. This presenter is disgracefully dishonest! The doctor has told her that she has had covid-19. In such cases the massive, and highly regarded, Israeli and Cleveland studies, among others, clearly demonstrate the vast superiority of natural immunity over vaccination. They also show that vaccinating such people offers no statistically significant benefit. The only contrary studies are small ones that have been heavily criticised, sometimes by their own researchers. This doctor is NOT putting anyone at risk!
    1
  14429. Maybe so, but Kier Starmer and his fellow Labour cronies are Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
    1
  14430. Putin's last conscription drive went down like a depleted Uranium balloon. He needs lots more meat for the grinder. Maybe this is an attempt to make Russians believe they are vulnerable, so that they will be much more willing to die for him. As others have commented, only the most mentally enfeebled would believe that drones of this size, and minute payload, were launched from Ukraine.
    1
  14431. Another day, another empty threat from a desperate and frightened psychopath.
    1
  14432. There have been so many other comments like these. But to deliberately distort the true public opinion YouTube has deleted most.
    1
  14433. So, despite all his missiles and posturing, Monkey Boy is actually a bed-wetter. What a pathetic panic over a virus that poses a serious threat to well under 1% and which bequeaths brilliant natural immunity in those who have had it.
    1
  14434. The pension THIEF, who stabs his mates in the back so that he can advance? No thanks! We need some honest decent MP, like Desmond Swayne.
    1
  14435. The government's lies are stopping us getting on with our lives! The Israeli, Cleveland, and a recent Harvard study, have all shown that natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. Why do prats expect these people to take poorly tested vaccines that will do them no good whatsoever?
    1
  14436. Siberia is for the luck ones!
    1
  14437. Trump dreams of getting the Noble Peace Prize, just like Obama: which makes him incredibly jealous. He was hoping a quick peace in Ukraine would land him some nominations. However, as a consolation prize, his buddy Vlad might pin a Hero of the Russian Federation medal on him.
    1
  14438. Even if protection isn't 100%, natural immunity is still going to be vastly better than vaccination. The vaccines are one trick ponies. After them the immune system gets to recognise just one viral spike protein. In contrast, the immune system of someone who has recovered from covid-19 recognises about 20 different parts of the virus. Even the highly innumerate should be able to appreciate the maths.
    1
  14439. Politically Putin did this ages ago, as Belarus's Fat Dictator is his poodle. Unfortunately for Putin most Belarusians don't want their dictator or Russia. Only the army is preserving the status quo, and as soon as it departs for Ukraine there's a good chance that downtrodden citizens will take Lukashenko out and lynch him.
    1
  14440. Less than two weeks ago a large number of people staged a PEACEFUL anti-lockdown protest in Amsterdam, which the police responded very violently to. How does it go? "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind". The Dutch government and police are simply getting back the violence that they gratuitously doled out! Blow Job and HandOnCock would do well to reflect on this when they use our police like the Gestapo, against peaceful protests in the UK.
    1
  14441. You obviously had a good education from an early age.
    1
  14442. Oh look. Another white Christian, with English roots stretching back many generations.
    1
  14443. One thing is for sure. Starmer won't be referring to the time that Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.
    1
  14444. I just hope all those missiles are roasting lots of pigs.
    1
  14445. When you see a mad rabid dog you put it down before it can bite anyone. Iran needs to be dealt with before it can add nuclear warheads to those missiles!
    1
  14446. No, you ginger haired mummy's boy, covid-19 isn't responsible. It's the lockdowns, that wimps like you supported, that turned lives upside down.
    1
  14447. My neighbour suffered a back injury during lockdown. Because of lockdown he didn't go straight to hospital, and as a result he will be suffering for the rest of his life.

  14448. The only presenters the BBC gets rid of are those who AREN'T looney left wokes.
    1
  14449. If men of fighting age in Russia believe this then they are truly stupid, and deserve to have Putin as a leader. This statement about an end to mobilisation has been made for one purpose only: to stop the cannon fodder fleeing the country. Those naive enough to believe this are going to be getting knocks on the door and served pre-dated call-up papers.
    1
  14450. People like this are, without doubt psychopaths, they should not be in power.
    1
  14451.  @MrLu4o  You mean like the Russians did before them, but with vastly higher loses.
    1
  14452. Bloody hell, that works out at more than 500,000! If we are spending around £100 a week supporting each one then that works out at roughly £2.6 billion a year. Many, many times more than the winter fuel allowance.
    1
  14453. Thanks for a good laugh. No training being shown here. Just some shoddy gear being handed out, and not a single weapon among it. What a complete joke.
    1
  14454. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.
    1
  14455. So let me get this right, because many millions of language students are going to really love it. The French are going to completely scrap "la", "le", all gendered adjective agreements and all words that distinguish between male and female practitioners of a profession. Even better the Germans language students will no longer have to learn der, die, das, etc. And the same will happen to many other languages like Spanish. I'm so glad my taxes no longer fund dumb-ass MEPs.
    1
  14456. I'll bet that their mummies tuck these SAGE "scientists" in each night, check under their beds for the bogey man, and leave the light on. Honest, proper scientists will quickly tell you that there is no strong scientific or statistical evidence to show that any variant is significantly more contagious or deadly. Covid hopsitalisations are still very low, and yesterday zero deaths were recorded. Those in SAGE are an utter disgrace to a noble profession and the institutes that they work for!
    1
  14457. Like the Covid mRNA vaccines, good luck on getting governments to admit that this is another thing they have seriously screwed up on. By the way, did you know that some research seems to indicate that magic mushrooms might be much more effective, and that repeated doses aren't needed, but that research on this has been heavily suppressed: and no I don't indulge.
    1
  14458. Very true about Trudeau and Ardern. But then Australia has no shortage of tyrants who should be thrown into crates filled with hungry Huntsmen spiders.
    1
  14459. Russia's military losses have been staggering, and the economy is in a very bad way too: worse than most realise. This is not sustainable, and many were wondering whether Putin could last to the end of the year. But Trump came along and seems determined to throw him a desperately needed lifeline. It's as if, in 1945, Harry Truman did an about turn and launched a mission to rescue Hitler from his Berlin bunker.
    1
  14460. There is no correlation between having lockdowns, or how severe they were, and death rates. In other words, they didn't work!
    1
  14461. Great news for shareholders in big pharma. A license for them to print money with new "vaccines" issued every six months. Of course, we need to silence those tin hat anti-vaxers telling people that natural immunity is much better, and that the current variant is EXTREMELY MILD.
    1
  14462. I wish I could get good odds to place a bet on Labour winning the next election. Unfortunately I think they will probably be just as bad as the pathetic bunch of losers we now have.
    1
  14463. I wonder how much this immigration lawyer has made off the back of helping people stay in this country. I'm betting he doesn't work pro-bono.
    1
  14464. The South African doctors have said that this variant is EXTREMELY MILD. A better name for it would be the Fluffy Kitten variant. Unlike these rushed through, poorly tested vaccines, NATURAL IMMUNITY works extremely well. So instead of making a mountain out of a molehill, the dumb-asses in Downing Street should let Fluffy Kitten spread and do the job they can't: give people PROPER immunity.
    1
  14465. He IS guilty of the CRIMINAL offence of fraud!
    1
  14466. Zelensky has done next to nothing for the whole 2 years when it comes to attacking Russian cities. So is it any wonder that Russia feels it can visit this hell on Ukraine with total impunity?
    1
  14467. And YouTube's first instinct on seeing any criticism of mRNA vaccines is to pull the comment and shadow ban the poster.
    1
  14468. "Send Him Back ASAP!" No. Send him to Allah.

  14469. Of course criminals are profiting. Fly-tipping is neither taken seriously enough or punished seriously enough.

  14472. First we have someone arrested for holding up a placard in total agreement with the government's own stance: that Hamas are terrorists. Now we hear a policeman saying the kind of thing we would expect to hear in the early 40's in Germany. Did Rowley sack anyone for these incidents? No. That's why the Home Secretary, who has the power to do so, must sack him.

  14473. As the UK is discovering, to it's cost, truckers are absolutely essential to most countries. If all the Aussie truckers show determination and solidarity they can bring their despotic Nazi government down.

  14477. Entitled or what? If she wants two seats then she should have to pay for them. In fact she should be made to pay for two, because no one who has paid for their own seat should have to put up with some obese slob overflowing into their seating area.

  14478. 25% of the working age population are claiming benefits instead of working. Does anyone genuinely believe that even half of these people can't work? For once Reeves is doing something right, because there are staggering savings to be made in ending this fraud.

  14481. I hate to break it to fanboys like you, but Putin doesn't like monkeys.
    1
  14482. Let's face it. Like politicians, lawyers are in the business of cheating us. When someone has a loved one murdered they most probably want to see them executed there and then, so calling a sentence a life sentence is simply throwing them a bone, instead of the real meat. But even that bone isn't a very good one because there is absolutely no intention that the murderer will be confined for the rest of his/her life. In 10 to 20 years they will have their life back: unlike their victim.

  14483. The hijab and similar clothing are a war, by misogynists like you against women.

  14485. Better than putting his ugly face on TV, where it frightens the children.

  14487. Every decent person in the world is rooting for Ukraine. Only the psychopaths and other sickos support Putin.

  14488. People in the UK are incredibly dense and obstinate. For instance, we see how spectacularly lockdowns and restrictions failed to stop the spread of covid-19, and yet we meekly let the government repeat these failed strategies time and time again, with many even cheering them on. One has to do what works, and this isn't necessarily what we have a gut feeling should work. One has to accept the empirical data: even when we don't like it and really don't want to do what it suggests we should. Many of us, myself included at times, feel that the answer to crime is being really hard on it. It seems logical that the stiffer the penalties, and the more unpleasant prison life is the greater the deterrent will be, with a corresponding reduction in crime. Unfortunately the data doesn't support this gut feeling. Isn't it strange how, as with the handling of this pandemic, Sweden once again seems to be leading the way in how to get it right. The data clearly indicates that their treatment of criminals is the most effective. People may not like it, but not liking facts doesn't make them go away. If you brutalise and marginalise those in prison, and provide little support to them when they are released then how exactly are they supposed to integrate back into society? Another thing we should pay very careful attention to, in regard to Sweden's lower crime rate, is that Sweden has vastly less social inequality than the UK. Throughout history, and right across the world you will find that high crime rates ALWAYS go hand in hand with deprivation. It's no good pointing out that social mobility gives everyone the chance to better themselves, when most, through no fault of their own won't succeed in doing so.

  14489. Dude, chill. This is a virus that kills less than 1% of the population, and to be a lucky winner you generally have to be very old and/or very sick. As for the bad-ass Delta variant, it hasn't been proved to be any more deadly, and if it wasn't there people who have it would simply be infected with another variant.

    1
  14492. Think of the most vicious and vindictive child that you have ever known. Now imagine them many, many times worse, and you have a good insight into Putin's insane and psychotic mind. Also consider whether it would be possible to ever negotiate or make a deal that such a child would keep. No! The ONLY thing that will stop its bad behaviour is FEAR.
    1
  14493. Well, the UK certainly isn't short of covid snowflakes.

  14500. Very encouraging, but to consolidate those gains and help with making further gains it would be immensely beneficial if the Kerch Bridge was taken out. This is one of Russia's major supply routes. As well as the military benefit, the immense humiliation the destruction of this bridge would cause Putin would give morale a massive boost.

But, even worse, Labour MPs cheered when this policy was passed. Just how sick do you have to be to cheer about something that will cause hardship and suffering to so many?

  14506. If the British public weren't so bloody thick they would realise that the R number doesn't matter any more. The ONLY thing that's important is how many covid-19 patients are clogging up our hospitals. In fact even the deaths in this context are a good thing as they free beds from mainly very old people who WILL die very soon anyway. With over 14 million of the most vulnerable people now vaccinated, it DOESN'T MATTER how many new infections we see, because very few of them will translate into hospital bed blockers. It's time to stop be scaredy cats and lift ALL restrictions!

  14515. So let me get this right. The UK has finally paid back the money that an international court said they owed Iran. This poor woman and her family endured years of hell for something that should have been done ages ago. Call me old fashioned, but a debt is a debt, which you honour regardless of whether you like who it's owed to!
    1
  14516. A serious attack on the the infrastructure of Moscow is urgently needed so that ordinary Russians are left in no doubt that there is a heavy price to pay for Putin's atrocities. I'm not suggesting killing civilians, but destroying a major transport intersection and sewage or water station would send a strong message.
    1
  14517. Putin has all he can handle in Ukraine at the moment. So now is a golden opportunity for Georgians to remove their Russian puppet government, by whatever means necessary, and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen. If this opportunity is squandered it may not come again. Also, there are a lot of regions that desperately want out of the Russian Federation. If Georgia acts it's reasonably likely that it will embolden them to act too.

  14520. Is there any sensible person left who still doesn't understand that delivering a substantial victory is now existential for Putin? He is responsible for the deaths or life-changing injuries of over half a million Russians, and billions of dollars worth of damage inflicted on Russia. He has to justify the suffering he's caused to the Russian people.
    1
  14521. Trump was his piggy eyes on Greenland, but he can't face off the entire rest of the world if he takes it all by himself. Therefore he needs to free up Putin from Ukraine so that the pair of them can divvy it up, just like another infamous pair divvied up Poland in 1939.

  14528. For all those regions that want out of the Russia Federation, for all those countries that want an end to being the Kremlin's puppets, for all the Russian military that never wanted this war with Ukraine, NOW is the moment to strike a blow for decency and freedom.
    1
  14529. Well, when it come to a united NATO, Putin certainly got it right in regard to Turkey. Ergodan is one of his best buddies, which is why Sweden and Finland are being kept out of NATO. Hungary too might also be a country of Putin fanboys.

  14533. With the exception of a few honest MPs, both the Conservative and Labour party are stuffed to the gills with dishonest, self-serving scumbags. Choosing one of these parties is like choosing between a torturer who will shove a red hot poker up your arse, and another that's going to pop your joints on the rack. This country desperately needs the decent MPs to come together in a party that people can trust.
    1
  14534. Just as I said a few hours ago. Xi may not love the West, but he most certainly does love the staggering amount of trade that China does with the West. So allowing Putin to nuke his customer base would not be at all good for China.
    1
  14535. Like so many cowardly bullies, Putin seeks to frighten people into submission. Unfortunately for him a good percentage of people are brought up to understand that a bully always needs to be taken down, for the greater good.

  14536. Theresa, with his stupid, spineless school closures, and exam cancellations, Boris has buggered the hell out of our young people's education and mental health. If he, and most of the country, don't give a damn about our own young do you really think many will care if foreign aid is cut?

  14537. Meanwhile, shoplifting is going through the bloody roof. So how have these cops got time to make a fuss over this?

  14538. YouTube continue de supprimer des commentaires comme celui-ci en anglais, avec lequel la plupart d'entre nous sommes d'accord à maintes reprises : S'il y avait une peine d'emprisonnement obligatoire pour ceux qui sont surpris en train de porter un couteau sans raison valable, il y a de fortes chances que cet enfant de 12 ans soit encore en vie !
    1
  14539. Letting Iran obtain nukes would be vastly worse than any current escalation!
    1
  14540. Dick allowed Downing Street to use the police force to vigorously enforce their insane lockdowns, so those with the power to sack her will defend her unless it impacts on them. By the way, without lockdown Sarah would definitely still be alive. Breaking lockdown regulations was the pretext for her false arrest.
    1
  14541. This is reminiscent of Hitler's transportation of the Jews, and we all know how that ended. It would be really good if Ukrainian forces could put a stop to this so-called "evacuation".

  14542. With the ruble in free fall, interest rates shooting up, and many foreign businesses shutting up shop, the Russian people can see the consequences of what he is doing. I would imagine that this isn't making him very popular. Of course, actually voicing ones discontent can seriously damage one's health.
    1
  14543. What measures would those be? The ones that are ineffective, the ones that don't work, or the ones that have failed time and time again.
    1
  14544. Just more of Putin's pathetic efforts to try and frighten the West. In real terms this means absolutely nothing for at least two reasons: 1. Putin stopped inspections a couple of years back. 2. Russia is currently in no position either technologically or economically to develop its nuclear arsenal. Even if it was, the timescale required won't affect what's happening in Ukraine.
    1
  14545. Yet another in a long string of lies from this wide boy PM. There is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to support his claim. But of course he is going to say this. Can anyone really imagine this sad excuse for a man admitting that he needlessly wrecked the economy, young people's education, and the mental health of millions. Such an admission would require both courage and integrity, and this PM has neither of these qualities. In fact, if one looks at the infection/death rate and the severity of lockdown restrictions you WILL NOT find a strong correlation. Lockdowns DO NOT WORK! They simply kick the covid-19 can a little way down the road. Anyone with a brain only has to look at Europe to see this. The bottom line is that vaccines HAVE saved Johnson's sorry arse. But if he had displayed some courage and integrity early on and followed the Great Barrington Declaration then we wouldn't even need vaccines. There would definitely have been less deaths and we would now be enjoying herd immunity. Of course, we would also still have a decent economy, and young people's lives wouldn't be in tatters.
    1
  14546. "Safety first", my arse! This is an act of unmitigated cowardice which has absolutely no scientific basis. Over 50% have no had both jabs, so only the most spineless will worry about travel posing a risk. The Gurkas have a motto: "better to die than live as a coward!" These ministers make me sick. I wonder what they would have done if they had been around in 1939 when Poland was invaded.

  14547. Sadly there are quite a lot of such total w*nkers "teaching" kids. But that's what you get when being a teacher in the UK is such an incredibly crap job that few really capable people would ever consider it as a career.

  14548. The best thing that could happen to America would be making sure that neither Trump or Biden is the next president.

  14549. If NATO were actively involved then Putin wouldn't have any Orcs left in Ukraine.
    1
  14550. The bigoted DUP has a lot to answer for. This resurgence in terror attacks is wholly down to them sabotaging the Stormont government. Their excuse might be the Brexit arrangement, but the true reason is that they are unwilling to accept that the people of Northern Ireland put Sinn Fein in the majority.

  14551. Most people are desperate to escape from North Korea, I wouldn't be surprised in many North Korean troops surrender to Ukrainian forces at the first opportunity.

  14552. How totally rotten so many police forces are became very evident during all the unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions. Instead of protecting people from REAL CRIME, so many police seemed to relish acting like a 21st century Gestapo.
    1
  14553. Getting caught by the same cameras again and again shows that the guy really isn't too bright, which makes one wonder how he could afford to run a car and pay the fines. As for speeding itself, persecuting those who do has become a little like the zealous PC crusade that so many embark on. 30 years ago many of us used to regularly cruise the motorways, when they weren't busy, at 100 mph. In fact National Express used to advertise journey times that were only possible if the coach driver put the pedal to the metal.

  14554. It's the Kremlin that needs a psychopathic Nazi removed!

  14555. Come on people! Does anyone seriously believe that out of a workforce size of around 32 million that 2.8 million are too sick to work? That's 8.75%. This is taking the p*ss on a truly staggering scale. The figures speak for themselves. There is absolutely no way such a high percentage are unable to work and I'm sick of my taxes being squandered on lazy parasites who feel that the rest of us owe them a living.

  14556.  @Notalwaysrightbutmostly  And who will now be held accountable for lockdowns, which were totally ineffective, but insanely damaging?
    1
  14557. This is why, a day or two ago, Putin made his pathetic speech about how the Ukraine counter offensive was failing, and those missiles weren't helping. Like Hamas, the only thing Putin is good at is murdering women and children.
    1
  14558. Funny how much those facilities look like apartment blocks, and are full of women and children.

  14559. When it's not a pro-Hamas march the police aren't just much more prepared for trouble, they are looking very hard for trouble so that they can get stuck in!

  14560. Unfortunately many wear their lack of maths ability like a badge of pride. Most maths teachers will have stories about kids whose parents told them that they have a good job despite being hopeless at maths. HOWEVER, Sunak might like to reflect on the pitiful number of MPs that have a STEM degree. Perhaps that's the real reason this country is in such a mess.

  14562. If you think that being on minimum wage is bad then consider this. Someone on minimum wage earns about 2.5 times the state pension. Yet despite energy bills going through the roof, and inflation shooting up, pensioners are having their paltry, and very badly needed, increase stolen form them by this dishonorable reneging on the "triple lock".

  14563. Chicken Joe should have given this approval ages ago. As Putin's response to Kursk clearly shows he is in no position to escalate.

  14569. To put things in perspective, over 600,000 people in the UK die every year. That's 60 times as many. Also, it's very likely that a high proportion of those 10,000 would die very soon anyway.

  14571. If TTK succeeds in making enough people give up private education then he will either have to let already overburdened state schools slide further down the tube or spend more money on them than he gets from VAT. But I'm sure levelling down is what matters most to him. And Alli will no doubt pay for tons of private tuition for his kids.

  14572. Julius Caesar and William the Conqueror combined brought over less troops than all the dinghy boys who have crossed the channel, so invasion is a very apt description.

  14576. Would we get upset if someone told us that he had shot a rabid dog that was biting people? The Taliban are rabid animals, and every single one of them that gets put down makes the world a better place. I only wish Harry could have reported that he killed 250 or 2,500 of these evil maniacs.

  14580. If we can get weapons to the Ukrainians much more quickly then they might me able to push the Russians back in a shorter time frame.. Unfortunately we have countries like Germany that promised weapons ages ago and have no intention of delivering them for at least another month, if they really have any intention of delivering them at all. One might almost believe that they secretly want Putin to win.
    1
  14581. Despite the many problems our democracy is going through, with things like covid-19 restrictions, the UK still isn't a country where a comment criticising the government lands you in the gulag. Therefore I would like to see anonymity removed from the internet in this country. The tech savvy will get round it, but the vast majority won't. If you have something to say then you should have the guts and decency to put your name to it. Most online abuse would vanish overnight if cowards can't hide behind a pseudonym.

  14585. So true. It's overwhelming young men. Most of the dinghy BOYS are NOT people desperately escaping persecution, as these wokes and do-gooders know full well. Actually, I'm completely against the Rwanda deal because of cost. Illegal aliens should be detained in nissen huts on a remote, cold, and wet Scottish island. This would be a lot cheaper, AND it would be an excellent deterrent!

  14591.  @nickmiller76  So true. This is also the reason why governments have been able to manipulate and con people so effectively in their response to the covid-19 pandemic.

  14592. So, Biden expects Israel to let the Hamas terrorists escape, regroup and rearm, so that they can make good on their promise to repeat 7th October. Biden is a very weak president, which is why Putin and Emperor Xi are playing up!

  14604. If we had teachers who cared about the young people they teach then schools would have continued as normal throughout this Chicken Little panicking: and exams would never have been cancelled. Of course, most parents just stood by and convinced themselves that online "learning" was an acceptable substitute for being in the classroom with a teacher. IT ISN'T!

  14611. To use his own phrase, what a "big girls blouse" this PM is. So 1 million Brits have covid-19. But, as it only kills about 1 in 1000, 999,000 of them are going to be just fine, and in fact for most it will be less bother than a bad cold. Moreover those 999,000 WILL be immune in a couple of weeks time, without the need for any vaccine. This pathetic excuse for a man needs to stop panicking and screwing up people's jobs , and kids education and mental health.
    1
  14612. Most of those 30% are not in the oldest age range, so catching covid-19 is no big deal for the overwhelming majority of them. Looking at the glass half full side. Well over 30% now have NATURAL IMMUNITY that is vastly better than vaccination. If, as advised by the REAL experts right from the start, dumb-ass governments just locked down the most vulnerable and/or vaccinated them, and left everybody else alone then NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY would quickly develop. Just look at Sweden, which has never had a lockdown or coercive vaccination. Unlike most European countries it doesn't even make the top 50 for deaths per million, and it has a very low infection rate.

  14613. When Biden was first elected most of us thought this was a good thing. In retrospect it would have been better to keep Trump. Sadly it's now become only too clear that the commander in chief of the world's most powerful country is a frightened old man, with rapidly progressing dementia. DeSantis is so right about the need for resistance, both in the US and abroad. Every time you give in to tyranny you can be absolutely certain the the tyrant will come back and rob you of even more of your freedom.

  14615. Useless rhetoric from yet another dumb-ass politician. The morons in Downing Street are saying the same thing. But here's the thing. Russia and China are going to play their own game, as will countries like Iran and Pakistan. I know politicians are really thick, but it's hard to believe that even they believe the garbage they are spouting.
    1
  14616. If Ukraine falls to Putin then he will almost certainly go after Moldova and Finland: and probably Sweden too. These three countries need to be welcomed into the NATO family as soon as they wish to join, which should be almost immediately if they have any sense.
    1
  14617. The trouble is that most of the UK media lost all credibility in its reporting of covid-19 related news. Massive demonstrations at home and abroad were totally ignored. Very selective interviews were staged to portray a massive support for government policy that simply didn't exist. And downright lies were told about how effective and long lasting natural immunity was. In retrospect, the biggest irony is that many of us relied on Russian sponsored RT to learn the truth!

  14618. Even though it happened decades ago, people like Epstein were still brought to justice. Therefore there is absolutely no excuse for not still pursuing those who raped and abused little girls, some of whom were only 12 years old: AND those who turned a blind eye to these horrific crimes. There is also no justification, whatsoever, for YouTube removing comments like this.
    1
  14619. John, maybe the Netherlands have reexamined at all the scientific facts. Unlike the British, they love their children and have decided not to wreck their lives for something that represents a negligible threat to them. Maybe they have also considered the very low IFR and the existence of long term immunity and, unlike our spineless politicians, have decided that the risk posed by covid-19 simply doesn't justify turning their society upside down. Sorry, but I think the Dutch have got covid-19 into a far better perspective than most governments that are behaving like headless chickens. On the subject of vaccines, I would agree that for those at risk they are probably a good idea. But for most people, why take the risk of something truly horrible, like transverse myelitis, for something that will probably cause them less suffering than the common cold? Finally, thank you for all the time you are putting in. I might not agree with everything you say, but you are one of the very few places where people can get a balanced report of the facts. Yesterday afternoon the BBC "Have Your Say" stopped working when I tried to enter comments or rate other people's. I can only assume that they have now decided to suppress comments that are causing people to question the government's approach to this pandemic. So much for the BBC's claim to present balanced and independent reporting.

  14622. This would make a lot of sense. For a virus that only kills maybe 1 in 1000 it would take quite a while to spread and become noticed. And by the time it was noticed it would also be widely disseminated. I remember waking up on Christmas day 2019 feeling as if someone was rubbing a wire brush up and down my throat, and aching from head to toe. But the following day I felt well enough to make my annual pilgrimage to M&S for my half price turkey. I recall mentioning to my sister, who was skeptical that you could recover from flu so fast, but a few months later my symptoms and recovery fitted covid-19 very nicely. The real point is that this would seem to show that all the hysterical finger wagging about closing borders sooner is complete nonsense. The horses were already long gone from the stable!

  14623. Excuse me, but have we had a single death or hospitalisation anywhere as a direct result of someone contracting the Omicron variant? NO, because South African doctors have characterised it as EXTREMELY MILD. People need to follow Downing Street's example and ignore the rules!

  14629. Well it's heartening to know that Australia has just as many complete wankers as the UK. For younger people this virus poses less risk than season flu. Why would a healthy person at very tiny risk take a vaccine whose long term effects we simply cannot know. Intense stupidity doesn't begin to cover it. There's also a moral side to this. If all those cowardly younger people weren't taking these vaccines there might be enough to vaccinate all the old people in the world, who really do need it.

  14635. Yep, the Einsteins in Downing Street are at it again. Most of those unvaccinated NHS workers, having come into contact with lots of covid-19 infected people, almost certainly have natural immunity that is vastly better than that of those who have been vaccinated. But let's ignore the science and make the chronic shortage of doctors and nurses far worse. You would be hard pressed to write a better black comedy than the one our half-wit government is presiding over!

  14636. Instead of insanely damaging lockdowns triage should have been used right from the start, and not just in France. Those who are suffering with dementia, or already have terminal or chronic serious illness should be given hospice care, NOT put on ventilators or into ICU units.

Saying Ukraine has invaded Russia is disingenuous, since this is merely an incursion to try and defend Ukraine by taking out Russian infrastructure and military equipment that is aiding Russia's invasion.

It's like watching some lunatic in a nut house continually knocking his head against the wall.

  14666. It really is way passed time for some Ukrainian special forces to take an undercover operation in Moscow and do something like the IRA's NatWest Tower explosion. Whatever you might think of them, at least the IRA knew the importance of bringing the battle to those they perceived as their enemy. And even the mad Jihadis have made strikes that are remembered over a decade later. Surely Putin, and those who support him, deserve at least as much.

  14668. Exactly the same here in the UK. We have well and truly buggered young people's education and mental health to hell. A great many of them will bear the scars of this for the rest of their lives. And was it done, in any measure, to protect them? NO! This is a virus that poses a NEGLIGIBLE threat to almost all young people, and a really tiny one to most of their teachers. Even at 63 I'd have been happy to teach full classes, circulating among the kids (with no bloody masks), and helping them, as they did the exercises I'd set. Young people have been sacrificed on the assumption that this would reduce the risk to those in their 80s. But you know what? No evidence has ever been produced that messing up schooling has reduced transmission of this virus. What kind of sick and selfish society sacrifices its young (in an attempt) to protect its very old? Even animals put themselves in the way of danger to protect their young!

  14674. If one has paid taxes in a country for a sufficient amount of time then one should have the right to vote. Conversely, Brits who are benefit scroungers and have never contributed anything to society should not be allowed to vote. Of course Labour would hate this latter prospect.
    1
  14675. This is a virus that only has an IFR of 0.3%, which is just 3 times that of seasonal flu. But in fact for most people it poses less risk as it predominantly kills very old and/or very sick people. If it hadn't been for panicking politicians this virus would now be just a minor footnote in history. We don't need a treaty. We need craven politicians to grow up and stop acting like frightened kids waiting for the boogey man to jump out from under the bed.

What Boris should apologise for is backtracking on this message and turning millions of Brits into craven snowflakes.

  14686. Pay careful attention to what is NOT being reported. We are told that infections have increased 5 fold. We are told that only 3% are vaccinated, and that people are ignoring restrictions and not wearing masks. BUT are we told that there are lots of deaths? No we aren't, and you can be absolutely certain that MSM wouldn't miss the opportunity to report them if there had been.
    1
  14687. Covid-19 is here to stay, vaccines will probably save most, but we can't go on destroying businesses, jobs, and the education and mental health of our kids for a small fraction of 1%. Letting the "bodies pile high in the street" really is a lesser evil than lockdown.

No more irrational than most people's fear of covid-19.

  14692. Let's see. Ordinary Russians no longer have access to hundreds of Western businesses, and countless Western products, that they once took for granted. A lot Russia's civil airliners are grounded because they can't get the spare parts needed to keep them in the air. Many other things could be added to this list. But Putin is a deranged psychopath, so any privation or ordinary people, or the death of around 100,000 Russian soldiers doesn't matter to him in the least. His attitude is a bit like the "let them eat cake" state of mind. One can only hope that a similar fate awaits him.

  14693. The real reason these elections have been cancelled is that Labour is truly desperate that people don't find out just how popular Reform UK now is.

  14694. We see the same thing in the UK. So-called pro-Palestinian protestors are allowed to march down our streets waving swastikas, Hamas flags and singing "from the river to the sea".

  14698. It will definitely pass in the commons. The scum in Labour, who are meant to care about the poor and their jobs, will support the Downing Street dictators. Isn't it funny how the same variant excuse was used to wreck people's Christmas. This brings a whole new meaning to "Indian summer". There aren't many dying, or in hospital. This is being done to appease bleating cowards, afraid of what MIGHT happen. But what WILL happen when June 21 is cancelled is that a few hundred thousand people will lose their jobs.

  14699.  @Aquarius.  I didn't say there were a lot of good honest teachers out there. If most had felt a "duty of care" then they would have prevented school closures and exam cancelations. But as most don't give a damn about the kids they teach parents have to step up to the plate.
    1
  14700.  @Aquarius.  If all those parents had taken to the streets at the start, close together and no masks, then the government would have decided very quickly that keeping schools open and keeping exams was by far the lesser of two evils.

  14702. What nonsense. The botulinum toxin is one of the most deadly in the world. A few easily concealed cm^3 placed in a Moscow reservoir could take out the entire city, so why waste it on just a few Orcs. This is especially true at a nuclear site where all you have to do is lace the food with a tiny amount of some alpha emitter. The soldiers' deaths can then be blamed on their own stupidity.
    1

  14704. Best thing for Iran would be if the mad mullahs were thrown onto those fires we can see.

  14705. It's like Fawlty Towers, only with lots of bungling inept Basils. If you are fully vaccinated then your chance of catching the virus is negligible. If most people, and almost all of the vulnerable, in a country have been fully vaccinated, then even if a few infected people enter the country it's going to make bugger all difference to deaths or hospitalisations. Further testing for vaccinated people is simply a totally unnecessary expense. But then that's the point. Although the scum in Downing Street are telling people they can go abroad, and coercing them into getting vaccinated, they are doing everything they can to make it as difficult and expensive as possible for them. Oh, and pretending those who have natural immunity, due to previous infection, aren't as well (if not better) protected, won't change the fact or make it go away. Of course, anyone with half a brain knows exactly why the government is doing this. They desperately want people to forget the LIE they were told about being able to catch covid-19 again, in order to terrify them into obedience. Even more worrying for the government is that acknowledgement of excellent natural immunity is going to make people start asking whether they should have adopted the approach recommended by the Great Barrington Declaration. When the enquiry starts this is one question they REALLY don't want to have to address!
    1

  14707. I read that these drones are packed with TNT. There are now explosives that are vastly more powerful than this. We ought to be giving Ukraine plenty of them with which to pack their drones.

  14721. Right at the start of the administration of mRNA vaccines many of us warned about the possibility of this mRNA ending up virtually anywhere in the body, and provoking an auto-immune reaction. Since MS is an autoimmune disease this news isn't in the least surprising. What everyone who has taken mRNA needs to realise is that some autoimmune diseases can take many years to manifest, so they could have a ticking timebomb inside them.

This variant could quickly and SAFELY generate NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bring this pandemic to an end. Far from trying to stop its spread we should be having "catch Omicron" parties to help it spread as fast as possible.

Any Pole from very young to very old can probably tell you about them, as can those in most Eastern European countries. When I lived in Berlin they used to walk up and down the S-Bahn begging. But the worst of it was they had their kids in tow, teaching them to beg, instead of sending them to school.

  14759. Yes folks, here it comes. Divide and conquer, or divide and tyrannize. Some areas are going to get their June 21 date, but it will be withheld from others, and instead of an irrevocable step we will see this used as an excuse to reintroduce restrictions whenever the government feels like having a panic. Funny how there was just ONE death recorded in the UK yesterday. Funny how these increased infections (mainly in young unvaccinated people) are NOT translating into hospitalisations. If someone shoots Hancock there will be mass jubilation throughout the land and the perpetrator will be hailed as a hero by many millions.

Imagine the good that could be done with that money.

  14766. Ukraine would welcome NATO pilots patrolling its skies, and God knows there are plenty that would volunteer to do so in a heartbeat. And, unlike Russia's invasion, this would be completely in keeping with international law. Putin is in no position to do anything about this, other than throw a massive tantrum and make empty threats.

  14775. If most teachers were like Katharine Birbalsingh both our educational results and the state of our society would be vastly better. I love the comment about sunlight being the best disinfectant. I used to say that I had no worries about anyone coming in and observing any of my lessons without giving me any advance warning. As for the smartphone comment, I'd go even further and say you shouldn't be allowed one until you are 18. When it comes to transparency in schools, however, I think it is very fair to say that most parents really don't want to know what's going on in them. Ten years ago I published a very cheap little booklet saying exactly what goes on in most state secondary schools. The reviews were extremely contentious. I got one star reviews from outraged teachers, who were probably management, and five star reviews from grassroot teachers. But the crucial thing to note is that ONLY teachers seemed interested. Parents didn't want to know!

  14777. Those of us who have taken on board that this variant is EXTREMELY MILD are cheering it on. We are hoping that not only will it soon reach nearly 100% replacement, but that it will avoid the vaccine, boosters, and infect almost everyone who doesn't have natural immunity. Because then there is a really good chance that it will SAFELY put an end to this pandemic, despite Boris's pathetic attempt to prevent this happening.

  14778. FACT. It was recently reported that the government spends about £40,000 a year, of our money, on each illegal migrant. This well over 3 times the state pension!

  14782. I guarantee you that most of these "oil is evil" oiks are scientifically illiterate. The simple fact of the matter is that oil products have an incredibly high energy density, that makes them indispensable in some areas. It's not oil, per se, that's the problem it's the countless millions of people who indulge in private motoring when they don't need to. In fact, for most of them alternative means of transport would leave them physically, mentally and financially better off. There are also many other ways in which energy is needlessly squandered. But one example is bed wetting teachers, who are afraid of covid, keeping classroom windows open.

  14785. What I was amazed to hear is that Australia's Nazi government has outlawed tests for natural immunity, even though it's better and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. When are Aussies going to decide enough is enough, and take back their freedom from these fascist despots? If you won't do it for yourselves then do it for your children, before they are injected with something that could do God only knows what to them a few years down the line.

  14786. Sorry BBC, how many people died of covid-19 yesterday. Speak up, I didn't quiet hear. Oh, a big fat zero. And what's happening to the number of people hospitalised with covid-19? What was that? Oh, it's still falling. OK, let's try a third question. What happens to almost all people under 40 who catch covid-19, you know, the ones currently being infected. Come on, don't be shy. Oh, nothing happens, they shrug it off and become immune. Oh what the hell. People are beginning to become relaxed and happy again. That's a sure sign we need another lockdown.

  14789. The best way to prevent nuclear war is to make sure that Russia is convinced that using nuclear weapons will cost it far more than it thinks it could gain from their use. Note carefully I said Russia, not Putin. Putin is now a very desperate deranged psychopath, so we have to rely on saner minds in Russia preventing him using nuclear weapons. He himself is no longer a factor in the calculations.

  14790. As sensible people, who aren't SAGE snowflakes were saying. If the hospitals aren't filling up and people aren't dying of covid-19 then it's game over. Remind me what the latest death toll was: oh yes, a big fat zero. If Boris wants to really boost his popularity he should put the SAGE liars up against the wall and shoot them.

  14798. Like the UK, kids are being treated in a truly shameful, cowardly, and abusive manner. This virus poses NEGLIGIBLE RISK to almost all kids, and the risk posed to most their teachers is very small. Also, there is not a shred of hard evidence that giving kids a normal schooling significantly increases the spread of this virus. As the Pink Floyd song says, LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE! I wonder how all the cowardly old bastards, who are wrecking kids' lives would have enjoyed having their carefree childhood buggered to hell.
    1
  14799. When is Starmer going to accept equal responsibility for our wrecked economy. The major cause of this, just as in other countries like Germany and Italy, is the totally unnecessary covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. All for a virus that threatened well under 1% of the population! Large numbers of Tory backbenchers appreciated this and staunchly opposed these measures. No.10 would therefore never have been able to implement them but for the unstinting support of Starmer and his Labour cronies. They probably also knew the consequences, but were fully prepared to sacrifice the wellbeing of this country just to get their feet in Downing Street's door.

So we must be doing something terribly wrong for people to risk their lives in small boats to swap France for the UK!

It's only a few weeks ago we had the quickly uncovered lies about 4000 dying and the NHS be overwhelmed. These two scumbags have been racking their peanut sized brains to find an excuse for Blow Job to renege on the promise he made people about spending Christmas with loved ones. I'd bet good money that once Christmas is over we will suddenly find that this variant is no more, or only very moderately more infectious, and that similar variants have been ignored in the past. Only complete fools now believe a single word that either of these pathetic excuses for men utter.

These are the same kind of immigrants that are destroying the UK. By all means welcome displaced Ukrainians, but there is no place in the UK, or any civilised country, for the kind of animals Jill Mortimer is talking about.

  14812. What a pathetic and useless rise. This is is like putting a sticking plaster on a gapping wound that is hemorrhaging blood. An absolute minimum of 0.5% was called for.

  14814. Despite the legendary incompetence of the Russian military, one suspects that even they store their ship ammunition very carefully. So the ship being taken out by Ukrainians seems much more likely. But one can hardly expect father of lies Putin to admit that his flagship has been taken out. He's already a big enough figure of ridicule with this.
    1
  14815. A cynic might imagine that Ukraine is being given just enough to keep degrading Russia's military capability. If this war had ended much sooner then Russia wouldn't have over 500,000 soldiers dead or maimed, and a vast amount of equipment destroyed. However, more positively, if this eventually causes the Russian people to remove Putin, and regions to secede from his Russian Federation then it will have been the right strategy.

  14834. Just take a look at how long drug regulators usually take to approve drugs and vaccines. They make most snails look like sprinters. Yet when it came to the covid-19 vaccines they kowtowed to their government masters and big pharma. For a virus that was less bother than a cold to most people, and posed negligible risk to almost all kids, they fell over themselves to give these vaccines the green light!
    1
  14835. Mark, what do you think is more likely? 1. That Scumbag Starmer has had covid-19 six times. 2. That these tests are far from being a reliable indicator of covid-19 infection. Only a moron is going to choose option No.1. This also implies two other things that have been apparent from the start, to anyone who isn't brain dead. 1. The number of reported infections has been grossly exaggerated. 2. Most of those claimed covid-19 deaths are down to something else.
    1
  14836. When you have an Israeli study that involves 2.5 million people it's going to be pretty reliable. That's how statistics works: bigger IS better. And this is what that study found: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. It may even last a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those who are naturally immune. It is also very well known that covid-19 poses a negligible risk to young people. They are more likely to die from influenza. So what kind of mentally retarded government seeks to force poorly tested vaccines on those who absolutely do not need them?

  14844. Used as a "separatist base" is rather like Goebbels selling Auschwitz as a health spar.

They think they are being clever with this, but it's bloody obvious from the number of "likes". Actually, sometimes (equally dishonest) YouTube just removes the "likes" to try and convince people that a particular point of view isn't popular, when it very much is.

Covid-19 poses a negligible threat to kids, but we simply do not, and cannot, know the long term effects of these mRNA vaccines. There's lots of data that strongly supports being extremely cautious and only administering these vaccines to those who will SIGNIFICANTLY benefit from them: probably less than 10% of the population.

It seems to me that one massive bombing raid to take out nuclear processing facilities, munitions factories, and some top clerics and Revolutionary Guards would solve a lot of problems, all in one go. Most Iranian people would bless such an action, which would also benefit Ukraine, Israel, and a few other places too. Hard to see any down side. I bet Trump would do it!

  14866. Just saw a story BBC on t-cell immunity today. It's bottom line was there "may" be 6 months immunity. Yet again these dishonest, scaremongering bastards are playing down the FACT that lots of research clearly indicates there IS long term immunity. Also, the EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE of barely a handful of reinfections worldwide lends support to this. Also, isn't it funny how Sweden isn't drowning in covid deaths, and the Swedes aren't complaining about their government's approach?

  14880. Boris was absolutely right. Most of those who died would have died soon, and for many Covid was a mercy, for them and their families, delivering them from dementia and painful protracted illnesses. The IFR for Covid was just 0.3% or even less. Only the very old and/or very sick needed to be protected. Just these should have been told to self isolate, because for the vast majority Covid was less bother than a bad cold. I'm almost 66 and not vaccinated, but getting Covid was no big deal for me.

  14882. Firstly, to anyone not seriously mentally challenged it's very clear that drones of this size, and minute explosive payload, did not fly all the way from Ukraine. Secondly, with the Ukrainian offensive imminent, Putin needs a lot more meat to feed to the grinder. His last conscription went down like a depleted Uranium balloon. So this may well be a ploy to fool the weak minded into believing the Russian heartland is going to be attacked by Ukraine.

Minutes after Russia nukes somewhere like London Moscow, St. Petersburg, and many other Russian cities would be wiped off the face of the earth.

However I don't think those who would have to carry out the order are prepared to see their families and loved ones wiped out.

  14899. Kemp is spot on. Both Hamas and Hezbollah have the same agenda as Hitler. They want to annihilate the state of Israel, and this goal will never change. Instead of condemning Israel these so-called "pro-Palestinians" should be condemning Hamas for using civilians as human shields. Of course, the unpalatable truth, that too many choose to ignore, is that most pro-Palestinians are in fact pro-Hamas!

  14903. The reason cases are falling among school kids is very simple. Most have now had covid-19, and they now have rock solid natural immunity.

  14904. Dr. John are you aware that a few years before Covid there were some reports on mRNA treatments mentioning that there were nasty side effects that no one had any idea how to get around and that researchers were all hoping for a Hail Mary. There's no indication that these issues were ever resolved. What we do know is that avaricious big pharma CEOs have been dreaming of the massive profits they could rake in if they can leverage mRNA technology. By the way did you also know there's a crazy Australian (judging by the accent) women with a few 1000 followers who absolutely hates your posts. She calls the absolutely massive Israeli study on natural immunity an outlier. I wonder if she has heard of the Cleveland study and thinks that's an outlier also.

  14911. April 1st tells us all we need to know about this cabinet full of fools. Because of the nature of their job most of those unvaccinated NHS staff have had covid-19 and now have NATURAL IMMUNITY. The massive, and highly reliable Israeli and Cleveland studies have irrefutably proved the following: 1. Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting (unlike these vaccines). It may well last a lifetime. 3. The is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. If the government were "listening to the science" then it would accept natural immunity in lieu of vaccination. And that includes testing for memory B and T cells, in those who had the infection a while back.

  14912. History shows us how zealously Russia conducts its purges. The Wagner Group now have only two choices: flee the country, or fight to remove Putin and his cronies. Anything else guarantees a (maybe very painful) death for them. As this might just be the catalyst for regions to break away from the Russian Federation, and Belarus and Georgia to throw off the Russian yoke, there's a reasonable chance that Wagner could win the day.

Also extremely worrying is that as Norway has vaccinated a much smaller number than the UK then one would expect that there have been a lot more deaths over here, which have been COVERED UP! Of course, if the advice of the Great Barrington Declaration had been taken, it's extremely likely we would now have herd immunity, intact businesses and jobs, and kids without their education and mental health ruined.

  14952. All the mentally deficient morons and cowards, who support lockdowns and restrictions ought to consider the response of the British Office for National Statistics (ONS) to a freedom of information request, just a few days ago. The request was for the number of people with no underlying health conditions who have died from covid-19. Over nearly 2 years, this figure was around 17,500: vastly smaller than the 150,000 that people are constantly told it is. AND, almost all of them were over 65. The same thing is happening everywhere. Sars-cov-2 posses essentially no risk whatsoever to healthy people. All over the world governments are lying to people, stealing there freedom, and forcing them to have poorly tested vaccines that the absolutely do not need!
    1
  14953. With the majority of Belarusians wanting to get rid of their fat dictator, he needs to keep his army very close to him. Putin can no longer come to his rescue, so weakening what's keeping him in power, and maybe even alive, wouldn't be too wise.

  14955. He's doing exactly the kind of thing that most of us Brits would desperately like to see. We have hundreds, if not thousands, of islands where our illegals could be detained. But instead our government gives the French £500 million to do nothing but laugh at us, and the previous one gave Rwanda £120 million. Then, to top this, illegals are kept in luxury hotels, at a reported cost of £45,000 per year for each one: much more than most people earn.
    1
  14956. And unless Putin is "removed" from power many times this number of Russians will die. And for what?

Of course the government was told this, before they started, by the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta. However, government chose to listen to charlatans instead.

  14965. So, Dr. John, what we are seeing is that scumbag governments are pressuring pharmaceutical companies to cut corners. This is exactly what many like me have been saying all along. All the data now indicates that all these retarded politicians ought to JUST focus on isolating the most vulnerable and let everyone else enjoy a (old) normal life, while herd immunity builds up. Once again I have to say "Sweden is doing it right". There is a New Zealand doctor, Sam, who has been saying many of the things that I and others have said, in her YouTube video. Among other the things she says is that one of the fastest ever lab to general population vaccines took OVER 4 YEARS, and that there is no way she will be taking any covid-19 vaccine. When a doctor is say "no thanks" that should make even stupid people, who trust politicians, think twice!

  14972. Poles remember only too well how Russia launched an unprovoked attack on them in 1939. My own father was sent to a Russian labour camp for crossing from German to Russian occupied Poland. That's why such high priority is given to defending Poland's borders.

  14974. Let's stop lying about masks. Proper surgical ones do provide some protection, but some very good recent research has clearly shown that most masks are about as much use as a condom with a hole in it. Masks are purely a propaganda exercise. Their real purpose is to scare people into reducing their social contacts. As for lockdowns. With the furlough scheme, most people were far too stupid to appreciate that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and that they would eventually pay big time. But without a furlough scheme even the stupid will start to squeal if another lockdown is imposed.

  14975. Putin currently has more than he can handle in Ukraine, so I doubt opening up more fronts is an option for him. In fact, now would be an excellent time for Georgia to take back the 20% of its country that Putin stole from them, as Putin is in no position to fight back.

And unlike the French and the Italians (the usual suspects) Boris has been bleating about not humiliating Putin. God help the Ukrainians if the Italians send them any tanks. They will need special training to cope with the 10 reverse gears and only one to go forward. As for Macron, I'm sure he will move his government to Vichy if Putin asks him to.

  14980. Let's cut the lying crap about this variant causing reinfection. THERE IS NO VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE OF REINFECTION! This is pure conjecture based on the expected number of infections in Manaus, which in turn is based upon VERY UNRELIABLE assumptions about the number there who have already been infected. I don't know what's more pathetic, the scaremongering, or the cowardly schmucks that fall for it.

  14994. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  15007. The puppet master doesn't listen to the puppet whose arse he has his hand up. I wonder if Lukashenko really believes that Putin has taken advice from him. Prigozhin has probably made it much easier for Putin to kill him by bottling on his advance to Moscow. I find it hard to believe that he honestly thinks he will be allowed to live out his days in Belarus. It's not a question of if Putin kills him, only when.

Now that the legal restraints in the UK have been lifted we are starting to see people out on the street. When more (vacated) property is available and fewer people can afford to buy it prices drop. Also, less foreigners are going to be rushing to live in a country that now has one of the most despotic fascist governments in the world: and a Gestapo police force that Hitler would be proud of.

The 7 million NHS waiting list, and recession are a direct result of this. And for what? Sars-cov-2 only ever posed a threat to less than 1% of the population, and once someone had had it they got excellent and long lasting NATURAL IMMUNITY.

  15014. It seems that cowardly voters who always vote to try and keep either the Labour or Conservative party out of power don't even have to man up now. Since Reform UK appeals to both sides the LOGICAL thing to do now is vote Reform UK. Not only will this keep the party you hate most out of power, it might also keep your second most hated party out of No.10.

  15015. Putin may well have already lost, but he is a deranged, rabid animal. As long as he has resources to throw at Ukraine he will do just that. If it keeps him in power he doesn't care how many Russians he sends to die, or how much damage he does to the Russian economy.

  15016. Isn't it amazing how this so-called "inquiry" isn't calling any INDEPENDENT EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta?

So Fauci probably felt he would not be doing his career a whole lot of good by suggesting this without very strong evidence. However, before the hysteria sets in, people should entertain the possibility that this may well just have been research that went badly wrong, rather than a deliberate attempt to create a biological weapon. Playing with something's genes is a good way to understand how it works. Looking at the glass half full, at least it's comforting to know that this didn't happen in the wild, all by itself, if a lab is the origin of this virus.

  15022. So plasma isn't going to save the day, we haven't found a wonder drug, and even a dodgy vaccine is at least a year away. This is probably why President Macron has just told the French that they are going to have to cosy up to covid-19 until at least next summer. Is anyone really retarded enough to think we can take another year of these insane lockdowns and restrictions? Unlike the Dr. Deaths in (the not so) SAGE, let's look on the bright side: 1. In the latest reports the IFR is being quoted as <0.3%. OK, that may be twice or three times that of flu, but it's still far too low to go full-on headless chicken. 2. We now know that long term immunity is a fact. So instead of quivering with fear as the infections rise we should be thinking of how much sooner we will reach herd immunity. Hell, maybe we should be having "catch covid parties". 3. Covid-19 is not the big bad boggy man. Out of a totally random population sample it only kills about 1 in 1,000. If we remove the very old and/or very sick from the sample then we are probably only talking about something that's much closer to 1 in 100,000. Only the truly feeble-minded and dyed-in-the-wool cowards now support the lockdowns and restrictions. It's time , albeit belatedly, to adopt Sweden's approach. Ever wondered why we don't see any news about Swedes protesting? It's because they are very happy with how their government acted.

They don't want to hear that covid-19 kills about 1 in 1000 who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. They are happy that the natural immunity studies in Cleveland and Israel have been vigorously suppressed, and they lap up the much smaller bogus studies, like that in Kentucky, that tell them to be very afraid. It seems like religion. Millions of people are like the medieval peasants who believed the church when it told them that burning a few old women as witches would end the plague. When this didn't work instead of revising their beliefs they decided that they hadn't burned enough "witches".

  15039. Lockdowns are neither sustainable, or the solution. Nearly a year ago a group of very eminent international scientists drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. This WAS AND IS the way to go. It recommends just isolating the most vulnerable and letting everyone else get on with their lives. If this advice had been followed it is very likely that most countries would have seen less deaths and would now be enjoying herd immunity, without any vaccines. However cowardly and retarded "leaders" chose to ignore this advice. Instead they have wrecked their countries' economies and buggered to hell their young people's education and mental health: and for what gain.

  15045. So a few Russians now have a tiny taste of what millions of Ukrainians have had to put up with for around 18 months. If Russians don't want to be attacked then all that has to happen is for Putin to be "removed" from power and the Orcs to withdraw from all of Ukraine, including Crimea.

  15046. You're not a statistician, are you Dr. Campbell. What you have said about the reasons for decreasing UK and USA infections are UNPROVEN HYPOTHESIS. Inflection rates fluctuate by themselves due to both network considerations and the availability of new victims. Is there STRONG statistical evidence (confidence limits please) to indicate anything other than a natural fluctuation? By the way, any one who knows even a little about evolution could have told you that these useless lockdowns would ENCOURAGE the development of more transmissible variants. But with most of the over 80s now vaccinated there's really no excuse to make a big fuss over them. On homeopathy we should let believers claim their Darwin award by dying because they relied on it. Only the most feeble minded believe such utter nonsense, so it's probably a good thing if they are removed from the gene pool.

Sadly, while expansion is the right way to go, there are still nowhere near enough drone attacks to really make a strong impression on the Russian people: and thus encourage Putin's "removal".

Also far more of the Black Sea navy needs to be sent to the bottom: preferably with all hands on board.

  15054. Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them.People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many! There would be a lot more vaccine available to donate to those who GENUINELY NEED IT, if the government wasn't intent on forcing it on those who clearly don't!

A really good software developer is around 10 times as productive as your average code monkey. The best will produce a quality, resilient system in much less time. But the government ALWAYS goes for the cheapest code monkeys it can find. Far from saving money, this is actually much more expensive. When I worked in the City, which is prepared to pay for the best, myself and several other top notch developers could run rings around whole teams of cheap coders that most so-called software houses employed: without even breaking a sweat.

We also know that it's highly likely immunity will see off any variant, so it's much heathier to get on with enjoying life than endlessly obsessing over something that's very unlikely to happen.

  15094. If "Australians don't generally have sufficient fear of the virus" then they can be very proud of themselves, and rightly call those in the UK whinging poms. This is a virus that kills less than 1%, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. Yet so many pathetic snowflakes in the UK have swallowed Downing Street's lies, hook, like and sinker, and are now wetting themselves over something that poses no more risk than seasonal flu to most of them.

    1
  15115. Unless all those keeping Putin in power are mentally enfeebled they should realise that the supply of tanks, and other weapons, now means that Putin has no chance of turning things around in the spring. By far the easiest, and most facing saving, way out of this is the "removal" of Putin and his closest allies, and the placing of all the blame on them.

  15117. This was a bloody stupid idea right from the start. Years ago none other than Tony Blair suggested using a remote, bleak Scottish island to detain illegals on. This would have been so much cheaper, not vulnerable to legal challenge, and a serious deterrent. So why wasn't it done instead?

  15122. The brutal truth is that after months of protesting, hundreds of murdered protestors, and thousands more arrested and tortured, the clerics and their Revolutionary Guard goons are still completely in control. As I said from the start, despotic dictators don't freely relinquish power because people voice their discontent. You have to be prepared to FIGHT for your freedom!

  15130. Sadly Mizzy is right. For decades our police and courts have cared far more about the rights of criminals than decent law-abiding people. Most criminals laugh at the law and the people who are dumb enough to believe it's there to protect them.

  15133. It's way past time ALL governments admitted that lockdowns and similar restrictions are failed strategies. Right the start, before they published their advice in the Great Barrington Declaration for all to see, eminent scientists from around the world advised that this would not work. However, dumb-ass politicians thought a one-of lockdown was a quick easy solution. And what did they do when this didn't work. Well, just to prove how incredibly dumb they are, they repeated the mistake time and time again.

  15136. Of course this obese woman wants everyone jabbed, because she is more at risk than most. It is people like her who are selfish. Young people and those who have natural immunity, after recovering from covid-19, almost certainly gain nothing from vaccination. But this nasty frightened woman doesn't want to hear that giving them mRNA vaccines, that are spanking new technology, puts them at unnecessary risk: which goes completely against medical ethics.
    1
  15137. Ah, democracy. That's where you do your utmost to make life unbearable for those who dare to exercise their basic human right to refuse medical treatment.

  15139. I seldom agree with Truss, but she is right about ignoring the babblings of an insane psychopath. Putin sold Russians the idea of a quick operation that would be completed within a few days and with minimal Russian losses. We are now more than four months into this and he has succeeded in killing many more Russians than during the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign, and prompted a major expansion and strengthening of NATO. He is now getting desperate to hang onto power, and maybe even his life. As such he will blurt out anything in his desperate panic.
    1
  15140. As would many homeless people, on the streets because of abusive carers or job loss, who unlike these ILLEGAL migrants have a right to be in this country.

  15141. Mainstream media is still very actively censoring anything that calls the safety of these vaccines into question. YouTube has bots dedicated to removing such material ASAP.
    1
  15142. 88% of these spineless, self-serving cowards supported keeping restrictions. Now I may be mistaken, but I thought MPs were elected to serve the people and carry out their will. I'm pretty certain that nowhere near 88% of England's population would have made this choice. How much more of this is it going to take until people realise that the UK is no longer the democracy that so many young men gave their lives for in two world wars?
    1
  15143. Putin is absolutely counting on America withdrawing support for Ukraine, because this war is really hurting Russia. In particular he is hoping that Trump becomes president and ands this support.

  15147. The sad thing about these tanks is that there aren't the charred remains of a couple of roasted Russian Nazis in each one.
    1
  15148. We've previously heard this complete idiot shamelessly scaremongering. Perhaps if instead he had told the truth about how small a risk the virus poses to most people, and how good natural immunity is, then rich nations would be more inclined to give those vaccines to the vulnerable who really need them, in poorer nations.

  15157. The Shrine of Remembrance was a very appropriate place for such a demonstration as it commemorates those who gave there life fighting the same kind of despotic Nazis who are now oppressing Australians, with their Gestapo pig police force that Hitler would have been proud of. A no file zone for media helicopters. We all know why. So that the gestapo pigs can't be filmed viscously assaulting peaceful protestors.

  15158. Get real! No sensible person expects anything substantial from spineless Sunak and his cretinous self-serving cabinet.

  15159. The trouble is the UK is well and truly in the s**t. Sunak and his Conservatives are like someone standing next to a lifebuoy watching somebody drown, but not throwing it to him. Unfortunately Starmer and Labour are like someone who then paddles out to push the chap's head under the water.

  15160. So, Orcs, what do we learn from this? If you want to live, and not get parts blown off, don't venture into peaceful countries, rape their daughters, and torture their sons.

  15162. Why? Simple. Orban is Putin's lapdog. A few MI6 or CIA agents need to have a private talk with him.

    1
  15166. There's a very quick action that will fix all this. Tyrants like Biden and Trudeau need to remove all vaccine mandates and get out of people's faces over a virus that poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to about 99% of the population.

  15167. I thought the whole idea of marketing clothes was to use a really attractive (real) woman, so that potential customers imagine themselves looking beautiful in your wears. Using an ugly freak would seem to be counter productive.

  15168.  @beeble2003  There are an awful lot of dead or raped women who no doubt tried to run away. I can't help wondering how many of them might have stood a far better chance if they had been allowed to carry pepper spray or similar.
    1
  15169. The government, and its MSM stooges, are as determined as ever to silence anyone who questions the safety of mRNA vaccines. Just imagine peoples reactions if it came out that countless millions had been given a vaccine that wasn't safe, and that they never needed. Just imagine if many learnt that they might now have a ticking timebomb inside them.
    1
  15170. Look forward to viewing many more reports of sunken Russian ships. I gather these drones are packed with TNT, but there are much more powerful explosives available today. If packed with these instead any ship in such an encounter would stand virtually no chance. In fact, if one of the most powerful explosives was well shaped then there's a good chance that these drones could take out the supports for the Kerch bridge.

  15171. Is there no way of removing a UK government tat appears to be hell-bent on destroying this country?

  15173. Clark is so right. Any end to the fighting while Putin is in power will simply give him breathing space to regroup and resupply. Then, without the slightest doubt, he will attack again, and more viciously than before.

  15175. Is it any wonder that teachers are so despised, distrusted, and regarded as being work shy? This virus represents NEGLIGIBLE risk to most kids, even with the variant. Also the risk to the vast majority of teachers is REALLY SMALL. What we do know is that not being at school IS very bad both for children's education and their mental health. And please don't believe that online learning is a suitable substitute. It's an incredibly poor alternative to being a the classroom with a teacher. Only intensely stupid and/or dishonest people will tell you otherwise.

  15177. When you have a bigger problem with illegal immigrants than any other country in the world then you are clearly doing something incredibly wrong: especially when you are an island!

  15178. Putin is probably getting really desperate. His "special operation" that was meant to last about 6 days, with negligible losses, is going into 6 months, with many more Russians killed than in the Soviet Union's Afghanistan campaign, and no sign of those losses slowing down. Being an insane psychopath, Putin will do absolutely anything to get his way. And we must likewise be equally determined never to give in to his blackmail.

  15179.  @skywillfindyou  The BBC has been a totally discredited news agency for many years now. Most people in the UK would like to see their funding withdrawn.

  15186. I very much doubt if the "mafia-like" hits are anywhere close to being over. Prigozhin didn't carry out that mutiny all by himself. In the next few months, or even couple of years, I'm expecting hundreds, if not thousands, of Wagner members to get taken out one, or a few, at a time. While Putin is in power they have a death sentence hanging over them!
    1
  15187. Wow, a whole 80 cases. This is so frightening. It's time to head for the nuclear bunker and try and cross a few things off the bucket list. No, CUT! This is a virus that kills well under 1%, so there's a really good chance that not even one of those 80 will die. And all those who don't are going to have excellent natural immunity in a couple of weeks time: immunity that may be better than vaccination and could last a lifetime.
    1
  15188. Why are the government and its people so intensely stupid? Just take a look at the per capita deaths around the world. What will strike you immediately is that there is relatively little correlation between how strict a country's lockdowns and restrictions have been and their death rate. You have to be seriously mentally challenged not to see from this data that lockdowns and restrictions simply do not work. At the best all they do is kick the covid-19 can down the street a bit. Of course, the REAL experts told the government exactly this right at the start, and recommended just isolating the most vulnerable until NATURAL herd immunity was established. This ignored advice was subsequently published, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration. Two things are now in no doubt whatsoever: 1. Covid-19 is here to stay. 2. Natural immunity is both far better, and longer lasting (possibly for life) than vaccine induced immunity. Just how imbecilic does one have to be to keep on repeating the same failed strategies. The ONLY thing that will work is what's in the GBD, and should have been done from the start. Of course we can now do one more thing. We can vaccinate the vulnerable, and pile on the booster shots for them. But everyone else should be left alone!
    1
  15189. The doctors and scientists from the JCVI say NO! But watch this deranged tyrant try to force your kid to get vaccinated regardless of what the science says.
    1
  15190. And when Putin does this EVERY NATO country will strike Russian military sites. Putin's arse kicking in Ukraine will then seem more like it was just being tickled.
    1
  15191. They won't be doing so well later on, but Putin doesn't care.
    1
  15192. ​ @will-rockyou788  It's said that Putin has indeed been planning to rebuild the evil empire that was the Soviet Union, for many years. He has a long list of places he want's to hold "referendums" in. He took Crimea, and we did nothing, so he expected Ukraine to be a push over. Moldova is probably next on his list.
    1
  15193. What kind of men (I use the word in the very loosest sense) just sit by and watch the future get stolen from their daughters, wives and sisters? I can fully understand Americans not wanting to die for such "men" who won't fight for themselves. What a complete contrast with the incredibly brave Ukrainians!
    1
  15194. Across the world many countries have had repeated lockdowns, which are often very severe. But the one common denominator among all of them is THEY DON'T WORK! The virus always comes roaring back, but governments keep repeating this failed policy. Why should people put up with such insanity? As for the vaccine mandates, this is pure unmitigated evil. For most people covid-19 poses a miniscule risk. Medical ethics is (was?) very clear on this. You do not vaccinate people against a disease that poses a negligible threat to THEM. Even worse is the denial of the incontestable scientific fact that NATURAL IMMUNITY is both vastly better than vaccination, and longer lasting: it may well last a lifetime. In many countries more than 50% of the population has had covid-19, and now has natural immunity. These people gain absolutely nothing from being injected with rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines.
    1
  15195. One of the definitions of insanity is constantly repeating a failed strategy. If Putin wasn't completely deranged he would realise that NATO and the West will never succumb to his nuclear sabre rattling. I wonder if his generals, and the Russian people, really are too stupid to realise what would happen to them, and all their loved ones, if Putin resorted to nukes.
    1
  15196. Steve Rosenberg's reading of today's Russian papers suggests that Trump may want Putin as an ally. They suggest that he may well want to divvy up the Ukraine's resources. We also need to remember that Trump really covets Greenland, which he can't take unilaterally, so he might well want to come to an agreement with Putin. Am I the only one thinking of Poland in 1939?

    1
  15200. It would cost just a few bullets to end this war, if they were put through the heads of Putin and his so-called "strong men". I wonder, now that Putin is soiling himself, whether anyone still considers him a strong man.
    1
  15201. Whenever Putin says he is "ready to discuss" what he really means is that he desperately wants a pause, so that he can regroup and attack again later. His military has been significantly weakened, and gets weaker with each passing day. This is why he is so focused on soft civilian targets.
    1
  15202. The drones were small and carrying a minute explosive payload. So it's quite likely that they were launched in, or close to, Moscow by Putin's own FSB goons. This is to frighten people into supporting him. He did the same thing years ago, and blamed it on Chechnya.

  15206. Les ogives nucléaires nécessitent une maintenance considérable et coûteuse. Le plutonium possède six phases solides différentes à température et pression normales, et sa composition et sa structure évoluent constamment en raison de la désintégration radioactive. Malheureusement pour Mad Vlad, la corruption est extrêmement répandue en Russie ; l'argent a donc probablement servi à acheter de la vodka.

  15208. I wonder how many in Australia know that 9.4 million of working age in the UK aren't working? That's 25% of the UK working age population. This puts a whole new spin on the term "taking a sickie". Does anyone really believe that a quarter of the UK's working age population is too sick to work? Yet rather than tackle the benefit fraud that is probably being committed by several million people, Starmer would rather take the winter fuel allowance from pensioners.
    1
  15209. In any other circumstances consider just how serious a crime you would have to commit to get 10 years in jail. Do we really need any more proof of just how insane and power hungry HandOnCock is? Parliament or the Law Lords need to step in an and prevent this sad excuse for a man acting out his dreams of becoming a latter day Hitler.

Treat it as the total joke that it is. Tomorrow NOTHING will materially change from how it's been today, last week, or even last month. Together with Crimea, all these areas need to have the Orcs driven out or slaughtered: the end game hasn't changed.

  15232. It's like watching a Putin clone. Where Putin talks about "historic Russia" Emperor Xi talks about "One China". And like Putin he is conducting "military exercises". Taiwan has been an INDEPENDENT country for over 70 years: as long as Pakistan, and longer than Bangladesh. Maybe India should claim both of these? Also, Taiwan has never been ruled by the communists. Why can't psychopaths like Putin and Xi leave peaceful countries alone?

  15241. Most comments pointing out that it isn't in the least credible that one quarter of the working age population is too sick to work, which is what 9.4 million represents, are deleted by YouTube.

And what about all those Catalonians who want independence?

  15248. Those not in the UK might like to know that there are much fairer cuts that would also save vastly more money, and would have the support of every honest decent person. What percentage of your working age acquaintances are too sick to work? I'm betting it's not even close to 25%. Yet that is the percentage of working age people in the UK who aren't working or even looking for work. This represents MILLIONS of people being given benefits they don't deserve. Just imagine the savings if this were ended.

  15253. As we are now seeing football and nightclubs are just the start. Young people are now going to be denied their education if they don't get a vaccine that they clearly don't need. Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them. People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many!

  15264. I made a similar comment 4 days ago, which I can see. As it has no likes I assume that dishonest YouTube has shadow banned it. Mind you, the script kiddies now sometimes also give the posts they hide from others a couple of "likes" to try and fool posters into thinking that others can see them. They also sometimes make posts visible, but remove the 100's of likes they gets in order to try and con people into believing that certain views aren't widely held.

  15266. ​ @teaplease39  If on the BBC's daily death stats you look at the small print on the screen it clearly says "deaths for any reason where there was a positive covid test in the last 28 days", or something very similar. In other words if I get run over by a bus or axe murdered, within 28 days of a positive covid-19 test, then I've died of covid-19. Yes, it's crazy but true. Blow Job and Hancock want to scare and panic people. As for the 0.3% and 0.1% here's but one of many sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuc7Db4KnIo&t=572s You can google for the 1 in 1000, but if it was much higher we would have seen populations decimated in many countries that can't enforce lockdowns, But we don't see this.
    1
  15267. ​ @TheOriginalFishPond  I teach all areas of maths at A-level and IB Diploma HL. The maths is correct. The 0.3% appears to be fairly well accepted now. So either the government is massively exaggerating covid deaths, or doesn't want us to believe that a substantial proportion of the population is immune. Actually there's a bit of both of these. But the one indisputable fact is that Blow Job and Hancock really want you to be scared shitless: and it's working with many people.

They should be used to protect society, and when no other penalty is possible. Taking away someone's liberty and incarcerating them in medieval conditions should not be undertaken lightly. I've never been called a Bleeding Heart Liberal, and my gut urges me to go for maximum punishment. But my brain looks at the research and tells me that this approach is counterproductive.

Of course, because of the ease with which he took Crimea, and the West's indifference, his assumption that he could easily take Ukraine is easy to understand.

  15281. ​ @mjwilliamsb2676  If, like so many Tory backbenchers, Starmer had opposed covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions then I would be one of his biggest cheerleaders. But Starmer was relying on the damage they would cause to make the Tories very unpopular. He is totally self-serving and put his desire to get into No.10 above the welfare of this country. I'm certainly no fan of this government, or Boris, but I honestly believe Starmer would be even worse.

For me, and I suspect many others it reminds us of such incidents as soldiers like Lee Rigby being butchered. It also calls to mind the Nuremberg rallies with people chanting "Sieg Heil". If I walked down the street waving a Swastika would Sadiq Khan accept that this was quite OK as it's an Indian symbol of divinity and spirituality?

South African doctors, with the most experience dealing with it, have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. It should be renamed the Fluffy Kitten variant. However, the Downing Street Dictators have been desperately searching for an excuse to bring back masks and have a Christmas lockdown.

  15308. There are so many hardworking Brits who can only dream of staying in the hotels that these illegal migrants are luxuriating in. Is it any wonder that they just keep coming in ever greater numbers? Meanwhile we have thousands of uninhabited islands on which Nissen huts could be very quickly, and cheaply, erected to keep them in. AND, this would be a deterrent, rather than a magnet.
    1
  15309. And what lessons would those be? Perhaps the following: 1. Don't jail your brave soldiers for robustly interrogating known terrorists: or close Guantanamo Bay. 2. Don't jail Royal Marine soldiers for shooting Taliban who would certainly have done the same to them, if they were lucky enough not to be beheaded or tortured first. 3. Don't let the Taliban set up camps, build up strength, and bide their time just across the border.

    1
  15317. That was the first thought of a lot of us. Sadly, if this is down to Putin then he is 100% sure that we won't return the favour. The best deterrent is the certain knowledge that whatever you do will be returned with generous interest!

  15318. Another channel today indicated that there are over 500,000 illegals in the UK. A back of envelope calculation indicates that they are costing the British taxpayer around £2.5 billion a year. Just imagine what could be done with all that wasted money.

  15331. Do we know what antigens our own immune system targets? I'm playing devil's advocate here, but could it be that our immune system already targets the N-protein, or even several antigens. After all, mother nature has been playing this game a lot longer than the vaccine makers. This brings me to an absolutely huge concern about the wisdom, and how ethical it is, of vaccinating those at very low risk from covid-19 infections. By preventing them from developing natural immunity, for the cost of what's usually less bad than a cold, could we actually be depriving them of developing immunity against future, and possibly nastier strains?

  15332. Putin's monkeys dreaming again, I see.

He knows there are regions that want out of the Russian Federation, and countries that want to significantly reduce how much Moscow pulls their strings. So destroying Ukraine is intended to scare them off making any bid for freedom.

They didn't want to know that covid-19 posed a negligible risk to about 99% of the population. They didn't want to know that lockdowns and masks were close to useless, and they didn't want to know how absolutely brilliant natural immunity is. It really does seem that the vast majority are strongly disposed to believe the very few in power. No wonder it's so easy to start a war!

  15354. I hate to break it to you, Dutton, but with its way OTT handling of covid-19 Australia already is the laughing stock of the world. With what now appears to be a Nazi state, and brutal Gestapo police enforcing restrictions, it's like watching a cross between Fawlty Towers and Allo, Allo.

  15357. Let's be very clear on this. The rich and powerful in India do not use the trains and so don't give a toss about the state of the railways. Democracy in this country is a complete farce as far as the poor are concerned. Corrupt, Putin loving Modi's visit to the site is a very cynical ploy.

  15366. When you've got a crap hand (or cabinet) shuffling it doesn't make it any less crap. And there's one overriding reason our economy is in such dire straits: LOCKDOWNS! Yet MSM isn't rushing to publicise the several very reputable reports that say they were TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. And isn't it funny how people are making much more fuss about ULEZ than they ever did about having their liberty taken from them, and their children's education and mental health buggered to hell.

  15367. This shows an appalling level of incompetence in maintaining one of our strongest deterrents, and will warm Putin's heart.
    1
  15368. When are people going to accept that they have been grievously lied to? Covid-19 never posed a serious threat to over 99% of people. And because of excellent natural immunity about the same percentage never needed vaccination. But as Mark Twain said: "it's easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled".

  15369. What has been done to these defenseless civilian areas proves that Putin is a rabid dog who needs to be "removed" from power!

  15370. Charities are also a massive and growing industry for grifters in the UK. So many of them are founded and headed by people who have never done a hard day's work in their entire life. They then pay themselves far more than most of the schmucks who support them. Right at this moment one founded by a "race card" player called Marlene Headley is being investigated.

  15371. Around 30 years ago I can remember an impromptu competition in the office to list all the euphemisms for men who played at home. Also, at one market making firm in the city, dealers used to shout across the floor to one of their MATES "hey black boy". I guess things like that don't happen anymore.
    1
  15372. With a few notable exceptions, like the MP who was murdered, the Conservatives are stuffed to the gills with the dishonest and the self-serving. They have utter contempt for those who elected them, and whom they are meant to serve: a party that is thoroughly rotten to the core.
    1
  15373. One thing we can be bloody sure of is that Boris won't shoulder the blame. If parliament wasn't full of corrupt and self-serving MPs there would be a vote of no confidence to oust this dishonest and odious man.
    1
  15374. Over half a million Russia Soldiers have died or suffered life-changing injuries. The cost in sanctions, and what's been destroyed has been many billions of dollars. To justify this Putin must show a substantial victory, so he will never stop. Yes, the war could end in 5 minutes: if someone "removed" Putin.

  15378. Australia is a laughing stock in the rest of the world! 466 cases and politicians are acting like headless chickens. The UK has 30,000 cases, yet even our sh*t for brains government isn't introducing new lockdowns and restrictions, and the same goes for a lot of other countries. Why do Aussies elect such total losers?

  15389. With a population of over 1.4 billion even millions of deaths would only represent a fraction of 1% that China can well afford to lose. And the vast majority of them will be very old and very sick, so they would have died soon anyway.

  15391. Kill more civilians is what Putin means.

  15394. Will people ever learn that this is the kind of thing that happens when you elect intensely stupid, self-serving cowards. All these creeps had to do was follow the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration (given to them well before it was published) and covid-19 would now be a small footnote in history.
    1
  15395. I'm no fan of Reeves, BUT when one considers that 25% of the working age population is claiming benefits instead of working then it's a no-brainer that their are massive, and very fair, savings to be made from the welfare budget.

  15396. Fordow doit être détruit ! Si Trump n'utilise pas de bombes anti-bunker, Israël pourrait être contraint d'utiliser des armes nucléaires pour détruire ce site. Je suis sûr que même Trump ne souhaite pas que cela arrive.
    1
  15397. There have been several such studies now, so it's getting harder and harder for scumbag politicians, and their lackeys, to cover them up. They don't want people knowing this because it means that they should have followed the advice given to them very early on, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, instead of implementing insanely damaging lockdowns. We need a Nuremberg style trial for these politicians.
    1
  15398. The South African doctors have been very clear that the symptoms of this variant are EXTREMELY MILD. It should probably be called the Fluffy Kitten variant. The government has, for some time now, been gagging to reintroduce masks, and probably also cancel Christmas. This very innocuous variant is simply a pathetic excuse, which only the most gullible will swallow. The government's real concern is that this very low risk variant will spread, and give lots more people excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY, while doing hardly any harm. This, to say the least, would be very embarrassing to them.

  15403. MOST people in London do not need to own a car or drive. They would be financially better off, and maybe healthier too, if they used public transport, walked and cycled. Tradesmen who do need to drive can easily put up their prices by a tiny amount, that customers won't even notice, to cover the ULEZ charge.
    1
  15404. For over a year, Russia has committing these atrocities with total impunity. They would have ceased long ago if sufficient damage had been done to Russian infrastructure. Weighed against a "visit" by Putin's FSB goons, ordinary Russians currently have no motivation for opposing Putin, because they aren't greatly impacted by what's happening in Ukraine.
    1
  15405. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.
    1
  15406. Oh, you mean like the 1938 Munich deal that Chamberlain made with Hitler. How did that work out?
    1
  15407. Mainstream multimedia has never given even half decent coverage to the fact that the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, strongly advised against lockdowns. And they continue to protect governments from scrutiny. The REAL experts were spot on! You will find that there is negligible correlation between how restrictive lockdown measures were and the date rate in the countries implementing them. Indeed countries that had no lockdowns were no worse off.

  15411. A present to Psycho Putin from Uncle Sam.

  15412. The only mistake would be trusting anything that Putin says. No one will ever forget that right up to the invasion of Ukraine Putin steadfastly maintained he would do no such thing.

  15413. "Different" as in bugger all🤣. A look at what's going on in Israel, where many are on their 4th jab, shows just who useless these boosters are.

  15414. The best part is that Putin is very thin skinned, and hates being laughed at: sounds a bit like Trump, come to think of it.

  15415. I disagree. The war is hurting Russia a lot. Putin dying would provide a face-saving excuse to blame it all on him, and stop the pain.

  15418. Russia would do very well to remember that Ukraine has plenty of really easy access to very nasty radioactive materials, needed to make dirty bombs or drones that could contaminate their entire cities, if exploded or shot down above them. And it doesn't need the Ukraine state to pursue such a course of action, just a few determined individuals who want to get payback.
    1
  15419. What infuriates me is that with 9.4 million (25%) of those of working age not working there are certainly MILLIONS perpetrating benefit fraud. But instead of going after this vastly larger pot of money Reeves is screwing honest pensioners.

  15420. The West needs to supply Ukraine with top notch weapons, so they can up the rate of Orc slaughter. We are already seeing around 100,000 Orcs killed or maimed. It would be wonderful if this could be at least doubled by Christmas. Putin doesn't mind the slaughter in the least, but maybe Russian mums and dads will start missing their Orcs.
    1
  15421. A pathetic loser, making desperate threats in a sad attempt to scare us and save his own pallid arse. Psycho Putin has always wanted a quick victory, because every day that this war drags on adds to his humiliation, and the likelihood that he will be "removed" from power. If he had the capacity to strike new targets he would already have done so.
    1
  15422. As others have pointed out, the worst possible way to generate trust in the police is for Boris or one of his cabinet ministers to suggest it. These people are some of the most despised and distrusted in the country, so most people automatically believe the opposite of what they say.
    1
  15423. Deaths within 28 days is a bloody joke. If you checked peoples underwear colour you would probably get far more deaths for any colour you chose than we are now getting for positive PCR tests within the last 28 days. Mind you there are now many millions of frightened cowards in the UK. If it were 1939 again these people would have gift wrapped Poland for Hitler. There should never have been a lockdown at all. The most vulnerable should have been told to isolate, and that the NHS would run a triage system for those who decided not to.
    1
  15424. The lies told about how good natural immunity was after having Covid were breathtaking in their level of dishonesty, and mainstream media went all out to help governments spread them, and suppress the truth. Unfortunately many people are now throwing the baby out with the bath water and rejecting vaccinations that really are safe and do save lives.

  15428. Such a protest on Remembrance Day dishonours those who gave their lives for this country. The government should ban it, and our WOKE police should be order to vigorously enforce that ban.

  15429. Hold the line Dr. Kate. We both know that these vaccines haven't been properly tested and that natural immunity is vastly better. Isn't it funny that it's always the management parasites, who do not useful work, that are the problem.

  15430. Well done to both the British army and these very brave Ukrainians. Even a crash course in tactics can help in the fight against the filthy occupying Orcs.

  15431. So true. A bundle of complete and utter lies, that most people swallowed without question. 1. As a recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed, only 17, 500 otherwise healthy people have died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. This is nowhere near the 150,000 that Downing Street wants us to believe. People have accepted being locked down for a virus that poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to about 99% of us! 2. Several highly respected studies have shown that most masks are totally ineffective. So their ONLY real purpose is to reinforce the scaremongering propaganda. 3. Numerous studies have now shown that natural immunity is both vastly more effective, and much longer lasting than vaccination. Yet government is still incredibly eager to get these vaccines into the arms of those who will derive no benefit whatsoever from them.

  15440. "Ulez falls on the least well off" Give me a break. The vast majority of people in London do not need to drive. So owning a car is a luxury and indulgence. If most did their sums they would realise that between purchase cost, road tax, MOT, insurance, and fuel they would be financially better off without a car. However did my parents, with three kids who didn't get free bus travel, manage without a car?
    1
  15441. Complete and utter bollocks! With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what governments are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out!

  15446. Because of our distance from Russia, the biggest threat is that Russia might be mad enough to use nukes against us. By far the best defence against this is to make it absolutely clear to Russia, with no shadow of a doubt, that if this happens Moscow and St. Petersburg will be wiped off the face of the earth minutes later!
    1
  15447. I do wonder if SAGE and other scaremongering disreputable scientists appreciate how contemptuous and angry most people are towards them. The truth is that if we framed a hypothesis, at the standard 5% significance level, that the Indian variant (or any other for that matter) was more infectious or deadly, there would NOT be sufficient evidence to support it. Dishonest scaremongering scientists are presenting WEAK CONJECTURE as fact.

  15451. Mark, not only does covid-19 pose a negligible threat to young people, it actually poses less threat than season flu. You figure out the logic (or ethics) of forcing a very new vaccine on them, when they have never been encouraged to get tried and tested flu vaccines.
    1
  15452. Without PR there can be no proper democracy. Millions of people would really like to vote differently, but under the current system they see such a vote as wasted, and therefore vote for the party they hate the least.

  15453. By far the worst choice would be the PENSION THIEF. Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED millions of poor OAPs out of their triple lock. Even without him STEALING what they were entitled to many would have really struggled, but he has made it so much worse for them. If Tories care about the votes of older people then choosing Sunak as PM would be like turkeys voting for Christmas, as far as the next general election is concerned.

  15464. If you have got covid-19 then testing is going to make absolutely no difference. Also a positive test does NOT mean you have covid-19. In the UK Starmer has tested positive 6 times. Is anyone really thick enough to believe he has had covid-19 anywhere near this often? Don't feed the fear and oppression machine. Don't test!

  15465. Absolutely correct, but it will only happen when Russians have finally had enough of Putin and "remove" him. There is zero chance of a just and lasting peace while Putin is in power.

  15493. One can't help wondering whether things might have gone down very differently it scumbag Starmer had opposed the government's insane lockdowns and restrictions. These have crucified the working-class, whom Labour is supposed to care passionately about. Of course Starmer is now blaming everyone except himself. He ought to do Labour a really big favour and step down as leader.

  15495. What really makes me laugh is that if Boris hadn't lost his bottle and resisted having any lockdowns then he would still be PM, the economy would be much better, NHS waiting lists a fraction of their current size, and the Conservatives in with an excellent chance of winning the general election.
    1
  15496. Let's be honest. We have lots of horrifically nasty cabinet ministers, who are very much in the public eye. Hancock may be gone, but we still have the likes of Gove and Shapps. Even Sunak has his dark side, ripping off pensioners, by reneging on the "triple lock", when energy bills are about to rocket, and food prices are shooting up. It's hard to see how the nastiness can be avoided when there's a cabinet stuffed full of nasties.

  15497.  @desmondroberts6034  I suspect that their expenses have gone up similarly, because as far as I'm aware (I'm a UK qualified teacher, by the way) many private schools are barely keeping their head above water.
    1
  15498. ​ @desmondroberts6034  It's clear that you don't like private schools, and won't be persuaded that they are actually a good thing. It's also very clear that you don't know what's going on in the state sector if you think there is spare capacity. If you are prepared to accept class sizes of 40, and only having young inexperienced teachers, then you are right. But qualified, very experienced teachers like me think this is a bad thing.

  15499. ​ @korkyybuchek6133  I went to St. Edmund's College, outside Ware, for the first 4 terms of my secondary education, However, I really hated boarding, so after running away 4 times I was finally kicked out. Moving on to St. Ignatius College, in Enfield, I got the shock of my life with the kind of vermin that inhabited the lower streams: really nasty vicious boys. This finally made me work hard so that I was in the top stream and didn't have to mix with them.

  15500. It's not just Oz where people are afraid. In the UK the government's propaganda has been spectacularly successful. Josef Goebbels would have been immensely proud to put his name to it. People are not being told that it's no big deal for over 99%. People are not being told that once you recover from covid-19, even if you have had it asymptomatically, that you then have good immunity that may well last a lifetime: AND that you definitely don't need vaccination. And to try and dissuade those who might now have taken these sensible views on board the variant con is being milked for all it's worth. First we had the Kent variant, but when people stopped being frightened by this we were told about the Delta variant. And I gather the government has Delta Plus waiting in the wings for when people stop being frightened of Delta. At least in Oz SKY is calling out its scumbag politicians. In the UK SKY the BBC, and the rest of the mainstream media, are Downing Street's poodles. Have you also noticed how many snowflakes go into meltdown and get really angry when they are told the truth.

  15501. Rich Boy Sunak has made it particularly tough for many OAPs by CHEATING them out of their "triple lock". They are now getting pension rises well below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to, so many OAPs wouldn't have been able to make ends meet!
    1
  15502. Let's be very, very clear about what these figures really mean. A positive PCR test means that a FRAGMENT of the sars-cov-2 virus has been detected in your blood. This is NOT the same thing as actually having covid-19: many doctors have pointed this out. The PCR was never intended as a tool to diagnose infection. As for reported covid-19 deaths, what's being reported is anyone who dies within 28 days of having a FRAGMENT of sars-cov-2 detected in their blood stream. If within 28 days of this they get axe murdered or run over by a bus then as far as Boris is concerned they died of covid-19.

  15508. Ah, that old Chinese curse: "may you live in interesting times". Yes it is interesting to see how many countries that were previously considered staunchly democratic have become despotic dictatorships. Right at the top we have the Fourth Reich of Austria, forcing vaccinations on people. Coming a very close second we have Canada, where riot police and snipers have been deployed to deal with peaceful protesters. And vying for bronze are New Zealand and Australia, running neck and neck.

  15509. As per the Great Barrington Declaration JUST isolate the most vulnerable. Let mother nature do the heavy lifting, she has had a few billion years practice at getting it right. This is a virus that is fairly contagious but kills well under 1%, and those who recover have excellent immunity that may last a lifetime. These three facts mean that the GBD strategy WILL WORK spectacularly well. The evidence now seems to be building that all these vaccines do is kick the can about 6 months down the road. They are not the answer and should be saved for , and maybe given repeatedly, only the highly vulnerable.

  15510. If thermobaric weapons are being used by the Russians then it is absolutely ESSENTIAL that we IMMEDIATELY get the same weapons to the Ukrainians. As the Russian forces are probably a lot more concentrated they would get paid back with very generous interest. As much, and as quickly as possible, we need to insure that Ukraine has parity with the weapons that Russia is deploying against it. To quote Frank: this needs to be made institutional.

  15512. Around 45 years ago, a few days before New Year, I hitched up to Aviemore and stayed there until after Hogmanay. It was around -15°C and I enjoyed some excellent hiking and tried some skiing for the first time. A few months later I went back just to do some skiing. People seem to have forgotten that these were normal conditions. Today, in North London I can still see the odd rose in my garden, and my Passionflower plant still has green leaves on it. Yet most people still seem to think that climate change is either unreal or no big deal.

  15515. Please definitely correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware there is one major advantage of having legal aid over pro bono, or just representing yourself. With legal aid you don't get hit for court cost, either the cost of the trial itself or your adversary's costs, if you lose. To the best of my knowledge, without legal aid you are vulnerable to all these costs: and they can be crippling.

It's like a bunch of frightened medieval peasants frantically hunting for an old woman to burn because out of hundreds of cows in their village one has stopped giving milk. FFS take a look at the sensible Swedes. They have been enjoying life for the past year. AND they still have a lower death rate than the UK. Actually burning a few old men or women might not be such a bad idea, because all this repressive nonsense has been almost entirely for the benefit of those over 80.

Most of my private students have been from first or second generation immigrant families. In other words I'd be very much worse off without immigrants. So I'm not at all anti immigrant.

  15526. Unfortunately what's going on in Iran is definitely not a fight. We have lots of protestors bleating like sheep, and some of them getting slaughtered like sheep. But dictators don't willingly relinquish power, no matter how much bleating there is, or how long it goes on for. If Iranians want freedom then they have to be prepared to FIGHT HARD for it!

Yet that is what the 9.4 million of working age who are not working represent. With such a large number it is a near certainty that several million of them are receiving benefits that they are not entitled to. Stopping this fraud would say BILLIONS of pounds!

As Dr. Campbell's earlier video, about the freedom of information request to the ONS, clearly demonstrates, healthy people are at NEGLIGIBLE risk from covid-19. MEDICAL ETHICS is very clear that medical treatments that offer no (or marginal) benefit to THE INDIVIDUAL should not be performed!

No Jihad martyr decided to take advantage of it by deliberately getting infected and jetting off to the West. It's easy to imagine terrible things that might happen. Perhaps hasbeen Tony is going to try and frighten us with rogue meteorites next week.

  15540. Just how mentally retarded are most politicians, and the people that support lockdowns? One of the definitions of insanity is repeatedly doing something that hurts but brings no benefit. Throughout the world we have now seen thousands of lockdowns. Many have been very heavy handed, and many have been repeated several times. But the common denominator is that THEY DON'T WORK. All they do is kick the covid-19 can a little bit down the road. Is it any wonder that people have had enough of measures that very adversely affect their lives, but offer no benefit? The ONLY way out of this pandemic is NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY. Just isolate (and maybe vaccinate) the most vulnerable. But then, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that it is vastly better and longer lasting (possibly for life) than vaccination, corrupt governments keep trying to convince us it doesn't exist.

  15541. LMAO🤣 I'll bet not one of those cases has previously had covid-19, and so now has PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY.

  15545. Actually, the rest of the world are laughing their socks off at Australia's Chicken Little panicking. It's better than watching a rerun of Fawlty Towers. "Don't mention this virus kills well under 1%, and those who recover get excellent natural immunity. I did, but I think I got away with it." Mind you, right at this moment, New Zealand's insane panicking is even funnier.

  15546. Another day another empty Russian threat. How many times has the frightened little psychopath already declared that the West is at war with Russia? I doubt that many Russians would be prepared to go to war to get Putin back if he were snatched. The ICC arrest warrant has clearly aggravated his incontinence.

  15555. These so-called "scientists" are an utter disgrace to their profession, and the institutions they work at. But, for every one of these spineless snowflakes there are several real experts who will tell you they are talking complete nonsense. There is absolutely no strong statistical or scientific evidence that any variant is significantly more infectious or deadly. There is only weak conjecture, which these cowardly and dishonest people are pushing as fact. And just to underline how pathetic these "scientists" are today's covid deaths are a nice round zero.

We know that carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas, and that it's levels have been constantly been increasing since the industrial revolution. It's not at all unreasonable to strongly suspect fossil fuel burning and act on the side of caution.

We need to wait for the investigators to examine the impact site.

It even has concentration camps for those who have been infected, and their close contacts: think 1930s ghettos.

How much more proof do dumb-ass politicians, all around the world, need that ONLY natural herd immunity is going to end this?

Of course, if Putin can't get at Ukraine he will probably attack Moldova, and if he can't do that either then Georgians need to look out.

  15589. There's nothing smart about them. They are just a cheap way of not doing things properly. Something we in Britain are really good at. You either add an extra lane or you vastly improve and reduce the price of public transport, to tempt people off the roads. You've got to be incredibly stupid to believe that there's anything smart about getting rid of the lane designed to allow quick emergency access to accidents, and provide a space for broken down vehicles that would otherwise seriously disrupt the traffic flow. Before long some suicide terrorists are going to figure out how to really have a field day with this cheapskate "solution".

  15605. What Greta, and many of us who are much older, realises is that most of those at COP26 made promises that they fully intend to break. After all, this is exactly what's been done many times before. Sadly, like me, those breaking the promises are older, and so they won't have to pay the price if our climate goes to hell. It's the young people of Greta's age that will have to pick up the tab!

  15608. And why are the French in such a good position to help us? Because being a nation with great respect for scientists, rather that pathetic PPE graduates, they embraced nuclear power. In fact, they have been running a fast breeder reactor, that produces more fuel than it consumes, for nearly 50 years!
    1
  15609. Putin is in no position to take on NATO. And I doubt his generals would allow him to use nukes because the response would definitely hit their own family and loved ones, who have so far been completely sheltered from Putin's war. I also suspect that Emperor Xi wouldn't like the very adverse effects it would have on the immense amount of business that the West does with China.

  15610. Look it's really, really simple. Just dump them back in France where they came from. If the French won't accept this then, bugger maritime law, dump them and their dinghies as near to the French coast as possible, but way to the south so that they can't head back to the UK. That's all it takes, and someone with the balls to do it!

  15613. The government will never admit this, because it's so incredibly damning for them, especially as the REAL experts told them exactly what the consequences of lockdowns would be. And most people don't want to be told this because, to quote Mark Twain: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled".
    1
  15614. Only Sweden got it right, and the Swedes are now laughing their socks off at us. Right at the start the REAL experts very clearly stated that lockdowns would not be effective, but would cause an immense amount of damage. Instead they advised just isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. Advice that was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. Covid-19 has never posed a threat to over 99% of the population, and those who have had it gain ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT natural immunity. So the advice that government ignored was SPOT ON!

  15615. If we didn't pay people who are perfectly capable of working to sit on their arse and sponge off the rest of us then most of them would be at work!

  15623. Not could be less dangerous, IS less dangerous. Weeks ago South African doctors assessed Omicron as EXTREMELY MILD, and there has been no subsequent evidence that contradicts this. Coupled with high transmissibility, this variant might very well quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end. That's if politicians keep their meddling and incompetent hands off it.

  15626. My sister was a nurse. With all the horrible things she told me I suggested that she could make a lot of money if she wrote a book about them: I most certainly would of. The simple facts are that most nurses work incredibly hard for a measly salary. There are plenty of less well educated secretaries who get paid far more to spend half their day browsing social media or filing their nails. This would be bad enough, but on top of this many have to put up with parasitic, toxic management that often do their best to make the life of our hard-working nurses hell.

  15627. At last, an inactivated virus vaccine. This is more or less how the idea of vaccination started out. As it will display all of the virus's antigens to the immune system one would expect it to be the most effective vaccine. One wonders why it has taken so long to find a way to produce this kind of vaccine, and if the adjuvant has been used in many previous vaccines there should be very few safety concerns.

  15628. As someone with years of experience who has taught in all-boys, all-girls, and mixed schools I can tell you, without the slightest doubt, that by far the best way of helping girls is to have all-girls schools. Girls do better without having boys around. However, this would mean having all-boys schools, and boys do worse without having girls around. So I won't hold my breath on seeing new all-girls schools.

  15634. What most people don't understand is that nuclear weapons need a lot of very technical and very expensive maintenance. I recall reading that plutonium metal has 6 different solid phases! The US has been carrying out this maintenance. It's very likely that Russia hasn't. Even if some money was provided for it, in a corrupt country like Russia it's highly likely that the money was embezzled and the paperwork falsified. After all the only time time the people will get found out is when Putin tries to use his nukes and gets an unpleasant surprise. At that stage in the game getting caught for embezzlement is the least of ones worries.

They are there to make our lives secure, NOT turn a profit for greedy CEOs and shareholders. Well energy and water are the same. They are vital to everybody and should be run by the state, so that they can be sold at cost to everybody, rather than fattening the wallets of parasites. Nationalise them, without compensation. Only a few rich bastards will object.

  15644. For the predicted 85,000 extra UK deaths to occur, with an IFR of less than 0.3% would require at least 28 million NEW infections. Does this seem even remotely credible? Assuming it is correct then the existing 45,000 deaths give us 15 million old infections, and these people ARE now immune. So after another 85,000 deaths we would have a total of at least 43 million immune people. That's 65% of the UK population, which is bloody close to herd immunity, without any vaccine that may never come, and many won't take! Again, accepting the exaggeration, we get totally yearly deaths of about 130,000. Sounds scary, doesn't it? BUT about 600,000 people in the UK die every year, and most of those 130,000 would have been among them. Even assuming only half would have died anyway, we are looking at an extra 42,500 excess deaths. Out of 600,000 that's only a 7% excess. Does this justify further f**king things up for millions? Does any sane person really think that these figures justify a further lockdown which is going to be the final nail in the coffin for so many businesses, jobs and futures? It's time for BJ to go back to hospital, get back the spine they removed, and follow Sweden's approach.

  15646. "never over our dead bodies" If somebody tries to force these poorly tested vaccines on me I'll seriously start thinking of turning them into dead bodies, because I have the right to defend myself against something that might very well kill me in a few years time. And why despite the Israeli and Cleveland studies, and the recent one from Harvard, are we still letting these liars get away with denying that people with natural immunity absolutely do not need, or gain anything from, vaccination: no matter how long ago they had covid-19?
    1
  15647. The Germans have a goodly number of nuclear power stations, but they pandered to the bed-wetters and shut them down. I don't think they have so much as lifted a finger, in the last 5 to 6 months, to get them up and running again.
    1
  15648. Be very wary whenever you see a fat person pushing the vaccine. They are at much higher risk, so they might have their own agenda. Real life studies seem to show that natural immunity is better, and many think that it may well last a lifetime. It's very important to remember that antibody count is not the whole story. As any high school biology student should know this declines, BUT the memory B and T cells persist, and if you encounter the virus again then they very rapidly pump out new antibodies. Another really important thing to remember is that in an infection your immune system is exposed to the whole virus, so it doesn't just make one type of antibody, it makes several. In stark contrast these (experimental) vaccines only cause your immune system to produce one type of antibody.

  15655. The IFR for Covid was just 0.3%, and maybe lower. It was also very well known which groups of people were at high risk. On this basis medical ethics is crystal clear. The vast majority of people should not have been vaccinated. That's even with a vaccine that has undergone proper safety trials and been in use for years, let alone one that was rushed through WITHOUT having undergone the usual 3 or 4 years of phase III trials.

  15659. While I am totally against coercing people to be vaccinated by any means, what these EU countries did was an act of unmitigated stupidity. For very strong evidence that the good done by the AstraZeneca vaccine vastly outweighs any downside they only had to look at the many millions that had been vaccinated in the UK. So many governments need to grow up and appreciate that there's no such thing as risk free living, that people die, and that you can't save everybody. A few decades ago we would have just got on with life, in the face of this pandemic. We would have tried to more or less follow the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration and accepted that some deaths in a pandemic are the natural order of things, instead of buggering almost everyone's life to hell. Sadly, most people today seem to have lost both their backbone and moral fibre.

  15660. It's a real shame that after the impressive Ukrainian offensive of a few months ago that the Orcs have been given such a long respite, and that a spring offensive will now be a summer offensive. But it would be far worse if Ukrainian soldiers became cannon fodder. Unlike Putin, who doesn't even value Russian lives, every Ukrainian one matters.

  15665. Covid-19 had an IFR of just 0.3%, or less. We also knew that it was almost exclusively the very old and/or very sick who were at risk. Yet the WHO promoted insanely damaging lockdowns, and rushed through vaccines that more than 95% of the population didn't need. After this I wouldn't trust the WHO to run a piss-up in a brewery, where all the kegs had already been tapped and tested!

Russia hasn't changed since then, so it is absolutely vital that this barbaric nation is kept within its own borders.

  15699. This virus poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to the vast majority of young people. Since vaccines are not 100% safe, and the mRNA vaccines are new technology, which may have UNFORESEEN adverse long term effects, medical ethics strongly dictates that young people should absolutely not be vaccinated. Let's be crystal clear on this. Those who want to vaccinate young people don't want to do it to protect them. It's solely for the sake of really old people, who have already lived a long good life.

  15719. These so-called countries have always been Putin's performing monkeys, so this is really nothing new.

  15720. These "experts" are in the pockets of corrupt politicians. Very large and respected studies out of Israel and Cleveland indicate that natural immunity is more effective than vaccination, and a further recent study from Seattle supports this. With natural immunity there are antibodies to about 6 different sites on the sars-cov-2 virus. In stark contrast these vaccines are a one trick pony. There is also good evidence to suggest that natural immunity could last a lifetime. Antibody levels may wane, but the memory B and T cells ramp them up again, very rapidly, if you are infected again.
    1
  15721. Rather than have a poorly tested vaccine that, due to excellent natural immunity, I do not need, I would happily sign a waver for an ICU bed to treat me if I needed due to covid-19. I'm far more likely to be struck by lightening. Read the bloody Israeli and Cleveland studies, among others, NOT the crappy Kentucky study that even its own researchers criticised. Stop trying to force vaccines on people who neither need nor want them!

  15722. If it weren't for the raped, tortured and murdered civilians this would be one hell of a black comedy. Parkinson's Putin promised it would all be over in a week, with his army overwhelmed with hugs, kisses and flowers. It's now into month 3, and even about halfway through Putin had already killed more Russians than the number who died in the Soviet Union's Afghanistan campaign. And the moral of this tale is: don't elect a leader who is a deranged psychopath!

  15725. Dictators like Putin and Xi rely very heavily on the fickleness and shorted-sightedness of the electorate in democratic countries. As soon as these people can't afford to go to Starbucks or take their kids to MacDonald's they are only too happy to feed others to the Taliban, or wannabe Russian tsars, or wannabe Chinese emperors.

  15726. Not weirdly legalistic, extremely hypocritical. Putin has definitely got his eyes on both Moldova and Georgia. Fortunately as long as we don't allow him any sort of victory in Ukraine he is in no position to do more than just look.

  15727. I'm sure that occupying Nazis often treated the nationals far better than ordinary Australians are now being treated. The Australian police would make fine upstanding Gestapo officers. On the other hand, if you aren't living down under, watching the politicians antics is far more entertaining than a rerun of Fawlty Towers. "Don't mention that this is a virus that kills well under 1%, and that those who recover have excellent natural immunity. I did, but I think I got away with it." It's so funny that cretinous Australasian politicians genuinely believe that they can achieve and sustain zero covid-19, and are incarcerating their citizens for the kind of infection numbers that would have most countries jumping up and down with unbridled joy.

  15730. I very rarely go to a pub or a restaurant but, unlike Blow Job, I am concerned on the effect of all this on businesses and jobs. As far as the hospitality industry is concerned this sad excuse for a man is a lying, cheating scumbag. Lockdown, for the hospitality industry has been swapped for something that is effectively exactly the same thing in all but name. Due, NOT TO THE PANDEMIC, but to Blow Job's and Hancock's gross incompetence and cowardice the UK is facing the prospect of several million being unemployed. And, looking at Sweden clearly demonstrates that things didn't have to go down this way. Once again the same lies that were used to get MPs support for lockdown are being rehashed. Only 4 weeks ago MPs were wantonly and grievously lied to. These lies were very well exposed. So, are MPs going to fall for the same lies again, in such a short time?
    1
  15731. Sadly the covid-19 terror industry now has a very large and very loyal customer base. They don't want to hear that sars-cov-2 kills well under 1%. And they certainly don't want to acknowledge the research that says natural immunity is long lasting (maybe for life) and 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. They would like people like me, who quote the result that "vaccinating those with natural immunity gives no statistically significant benefit" burned at the stake. Already many millions are gagging to roll up there sleeve for a booster jab.

Time to grow a backbone a face up to covid-19. Just isolate or vaccinate the most vulnerable and get the hell out of everyone else's face! As per the latest research, and Great Barrington Declaration, let NATURAL IMMUNITY do the heavy lifting. It's much better and longer lasting that poorly tested vaccines.

  15753. If instead of the intensely damaging lockdowns that 99%, or more, of the population didn't need, all that effort had gone into isolating the most vulnerable then probably a lot less people would have died! What's so damning is that the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, told the government exactly this BEFORE any lockdowns. And recently several highly reputable studies have concluded that lockdowns were completely ineffective. If this enquiry wasn't a whitewash it would be asking not why lockdowns didn't happen earlier, but why they happened at all!

And let's not forget that often it really is votes plural, as these men get to use all the women's votes too.

  15761. The IFR for Covid was just 0.3%, and maybe lower. It was also very well known which groups of people were at high risk. On this basis medical ethics is crystal clear. The vast majority of people should not have been vaccinated. That's even with a vaccine that has undergone proper safety trials and been in use for years, let alone one that was rushed through WITHOUT having undergone the usual 3 or 4 years of phase III trials.

  15763. As a private tutor who only tutors A-level or I.B. Diploma ( maths, further maths, chemistry and physics), my living depends on students who are generally very keen to go to university. However, I'm the first to tell them how much better off a good plumber or electrician, and many other tradesmen might be, than most people with degrees. I just wish most teachers, who are still in the classroom, had the honesty and decency to point out to students that tradesmen often earn more, AND enjoy their job a lot more, than they do!
    1
  15764. ​ @rob338  With the silly snobbish attitudes we currently have I can't see this happening anytime soon. Also becoming good at ones trade takes a lot of dedication and time. You ultimately save yourself a lot of money and stress by paying a bit more for a really good tradesman, so I can't see their wages collapsing.

  15765. These results are most certainly not a "just reward". Like last year they have turned our exam system into a complete travesty. Handing out vastly excessive numbers of high grades does nobody any favours. It robs those genuine A grade students, in this and previous years, of the recognition that they deserve, and it destroys confidence and trust in our exam system. Also, those awarded high grades in 2020 and 2021 are going to see them sneered at and distrusted by most people. Gilbert & Sullivan explain it perfectly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4OwwmFj8o

Having further lockdowns won't change this. It will simply inflict unnecessary suffering on the over 99% of the population that covid-19 won't hurt. People die all the time. get over it!

  15780. Starmer simply couldn't take the constant reminder of what an intelligent and courageous PM is like. None of the PM's since Margaret Thatcher can hold a candle to her!

  15781. The sums of money, meant for poor Muslims, that both Hamas and Hezbollah have embezzled are mind boggling. The lives of these people could have been made so much better if if had been spent as intended. But then they might not have supported these terrorists.

  15784. Just like in education there is an opportunity to deliver massive savings, almost instantly, by cutting out private advertising and private agencies. The government should provide a website where all UK NHS vacancies can be freely advertised. It should also set up an agency to supply temporary staff at cost. These two things really would deliver big savings, AND make things much easier for both those seeking staff and those looking for work.

  15789. We have also seen the death of medical ethics. For a very long time a leading tenet is that you do not subject a patient to a treatment unless they THEMSELF gain a SIGNIFICANT benefit from it. This includes treatments that have been safely used for many years. It was very well known that a large majority of people were at negligible risk from Covid, and yet there was a drive (and indeed strong coercion) to give almost everyone a "vaccine" that hadn't undergone the usual 3 or 4 years of safety trials.

  15795. This is so true. If Ukraine falls then Putin will definitely move on to other Baltic states. Also Emperor Xi, seeing Western weakness and lack of resolve, will almost certainly invade Taiwan.

  15796. The fact that neither MI6 or the CIA haven't taken Kim Jong Un out years ago shows that North Korea will suffer nothing more than stern rhetoric. I'd have given the termination order for Kim and his sister years ago, and not lost a minute's sleep over it.

  15797. While I do feel sorry for all those people suffering, there is an element of poetic justice. When it comes to being unwilling to remediate climate change Australia has been one of the biggest offenders. Maybe now it will take its responsibility more seriously.
    1
  15798. Well have a look at how things roll in the UK. Discipline in most schools is almost non-existent, and when teachers aren't getting it in the neck from students they are getting bullied and grossly overworked by management. So, not surprisingly, few who have any talent want to work in a state school. But it gets even better. If you are a teacher with years of experience then most state schools won't even consider employing you because you cost more than a newly qualified teacher. And, in fact, many schools even put on the job trainees in front of classes because they are even cheaper. Does any of this look familiar?
    1
  15799. Is not YouTube removing videos informing people that certain organisations are proscribed as terrorist organisations a form of support? Therefore, isn't YouTube breaking the law?

  15800. This is reminiscent of the Nuremberg rallies. It's just a shame that a sniper didn't take a shot at Putin, or that the rally wasn't bombed.

  15801. A bucket for a toilet? From reports months ago, of Putin falling down some steps and soiling himself in public, that might be an improvement, as he may well be using nappies.
    1
  15802. Why doesn't that surprise me in the least?
    1
  15803. In the UK we are also constantly told that the benefits outweigh the risk. However what we are NOT being told by the government scum is that if you have already had covid-19 then you DEFINITELY now have natural long term immunity: which might even be better than any provided by a vaccine. So why take ANY risk at all? There now appears to be a T-cell test, which will check for immunity in those who no longer have antibodies. So there is absolutely no excuse not to first check for immunity and NOT administer the vaccine to those who are immune. It is completely unethical to expose people to even a small risk when doing so is completely unnecessary!

  15806. The Ukraine military is absolutely right not to trust Russia. Before this war Putin gave repeated assurances that his amassed forces would not invade Ukraine. During the fighting in Mariupol promised ceasefires by the Russians, to evacuate civilians, were broken time and time again. When we see Putin's head on a pike (preferably with some of his so-called "strong men") then maybe we can start trusting Russia.

  15811. Sars-cov-2 poses a threat to only a small fraction of 1%, and the vast majority who recover will gain PROPER long lasting immunity. This is the right thing to do, that China should have done from the very start. Before too long the Chinese will be reaping the benefits of herd immunity, and hospital numbers will be back to normal. In fact, as Covid mainly takes out the very old and very sick, hospital numbers will probably be below normal for several years to come.

  15812. Instead of fattening the wallets of lots of greedy, corrupt lawyers you simply use special forces to take out these vermin, and instruct the police not to waste time and public money investigating their deaths.

  15814. If TTK weren't so thick he would understand that Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime are totally committed to the annihilation of the state of Israel.

  15827. I've lost count of how often Putin has threatened this. The cowardly little psychopath is desperately frightened and will say anything.

  15845.  @randomguy9621  That's exactly why Starmer is keeping him there. In the hope that the more damage he does the less electable he becomes. Of course he's relying on people being stupid enough not to understand that by giving support he is equally responsible.

  15847. Capturing territory is quite different from being able to keep it in the long term. If Putin wasn't so incredibly thick he would have learnt this from what happened to the USSR in Afghanistan. New and better weapons are now reaching Ukraine, so Ukrainians will be back to clear the Orc infestation.

  15848. What always worries me about the fines given to water companies and the like is that, one way or another, they ALWAYS get passed on to us customers. Maybe our bills can't be increased, but the fine will be clawed back by reducing service. It's individuals that ultimately commit crimes. So CEOs, board members and senior management should be the ones fined, or even jailed.

  15901. In the same way as vastly more in the US have been exposed, this is almost certainly the case in the UK. And the reason for missing all these infections is that covid-19 is doing no damage to the vast majority of people. Once again this demonstrates what an unnecessary fuss the (not so) SAGE drama queens and the Downing Street dictators, have made over a virus that really isn't that bad. Fuck waiting for a vaccine! We need to take on board what's said in the Great Barrington Declaration, and follow Sweden's fine example of level-headedness. This virus is doing very little harm, but the lockdowns and restrictions ARE doing a massive amount. People might also like to know that a study, from Denmark last week, was NOT able to provide any evidence that going round in a mask, looking like something from a Friday 13th movie, provided any benefit: the study was inconclusive.

Every Taliban put down makes the world a better place, so why should we get upset when someone quantifies how they have helped to make the world better. I'm not a Harry and Megan fan, but this IS something he can be proud of.

  15944. If Tim's comment about Omicron replacing Delta is correct then this is extremely desirable, and cause for celebration, rather than panic. I think the "different picture" comment is extremely polite. People need to be very careful about believing anything the government, or their media stooges say. Boris has already deliberately tried to mislead people into thinking that someone has died of Omicron. So listen very carefully to the wording of statements about deaths and hospitalisations. When I was brought up we were taught not to spilt hairs between an outright lie and saying something deliberately worded to mislead. The bottom line about Omicron is that there is still NO evidence to refute South African doctors' claims that it is EXTREMELY MILD. In the whole world there has not been a single PROVEN case of it killing, or even hospitalising, anyone! There really is the possibility that Omicron could SAFELY spread herd immunity and bring this pandemic to an end. That's what has the despots so terrified.

I couldn't help wondering if this is precisely because the mad dog doesn't want to risk someone pulling a sharp object on him, or even a few of them jumping him. I'm betting he has a gun at his end of the table. I know if I had children or grandchildren that I loved, and if I could get near Putin, then, for their sakes, I would definitely try to take him out.

    1
  15963. ​ @lilbubz2803  I'm not so sure. The bridge is 12 miles long. On a dark moonless night that's a lot to keep an eye on. Doing my armchair admiral bit, I'd have the Ukraine equivalent of navy seals make the explosives neutrally buoyant and use rebreather gear to bring them in under water. I'd then also attach them to a support underwater, where they can't be seen, and set a nice long timer, booby-trapped of course. I doubt there are Orc divers inspecting the submerged parts of the bridge.

  15964. Here's a brilliant way to end a lot of crime instead of sending some to prison. Use the bite of a bullet ant. It doesn't do any permanent physical damage, but I have heard the pain described as like having your finger slammed in a door, only it goes on for hours. I don't think many receiving this punishment, would risk having to endure it a second time. Televise the punishment and just watching others get it would be a massive deterrent. Cheap and very effective!
    1
  15965. This is EXACTLY what Putin is gambling everything on. He looked at Vietnam and Afghanistan and decided that, in the same way, support for Ukraine would evaporate. And you can bet that Emperor Xi is also watching closely. The light for his invasion of Taiwan has now changed from red to amber, and may soon go green!
    1
  15966. Of course, if NATO put boots on the ground in Ukraine that would totally destroy any chance Putin had of bleeding out Ukraine's manpower before his own. More importantly, even the brainwashed Russian people would realise this. And, as a sovereign nation, Ukraine has every right to invite other countries in to help it: just like Russia is doing.

  15967. Most Tory and Labour MPs are completely self-serving, and cowardly, so they aren't going to call out spineless, corrupt "leaders". They are well enough off not to live with the consequences of all that's going wrong in this country, so they really don't give a toss.

  15973. While many of us have been predicting such riots long before Starmer became the new chief clown, none of us supports or condones them. HOWEVER, many of the sentences handed out have been very disproportionate. And,what about the animal that broke a policewoman's nose? He SHOULD be in jail, but to the best of my knowledge he hasn't even been charged!

  15980. AGAINST the advice of the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, Vallance supported the unnecessary and insanely damaging lockdowns. But, maybe a prerequisite for this role is a willingness to ignore the science and do what your paymasters tell you to. Surely Starmer could have found a much better, and HONEST, scientist to fill this role?

  15981. It may be blasphemy to the ears of Putin fanboys, but the psychopath isn't too bright. The prospect of imminent tanks and other weapons being supplied to Ukraine has panicked him into a hasty and ill thought out offensive. Of course, Putin isn't too concerned about how many Orcs die, as he will simply conscript some more.

  15986.  @lilitdesign  I keep sharing videos like this, and ones that tell the truth about natural immunity, and the tiny risk covid-19 poses to over 99%, but most people don't want to hear the truth. I'm guessing that in 1930s Germany most people didn't want to hear what was really going on either.

  15987. So let me get this right. The original strain killed well under 1%. The Delta strain, which is now predominant kills even less, which is typically how viruses evolve, because they spread better by NOT killing the host. Seems to me that people really do have to stop crying like Nancy Boys.

The FACT is that after 18 months we haven't got strong scientific or statistical evidence to support any variant being significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have is ministers gibbering like frightened children over the very remote possibility that variants are suddenly going to start behaving totally differently than they have in the last 18 months. Is this a valid excuse for messing with people's lives?

I think it' important that we remind parents that "the risks posed by covid to this age group are extremely low" and that the use of mRNA as a vaccine is completely new, so we don't (and cannot) know if these vaccines might have adverse long term effects. It's also extremely likely that their kids have now had covid and therefore have natural immunity that is vastly better and longer lasting than anything they will get from these vaccines.

If I were a God fearing man I would believe that the anti-Christ has arrived.

A few years earlier he had told me it was going to be sold on his death. I gather the proceeds were also meant to be shared with her four brothers.

  16001. This could get very entertaining, rather than dangerous: at least for the West. As I understand it China has always been North Korea's strongest supporter by far.

  16004. Well done Ukraine, but this is exactly the kind of warfare that suits the Orcs. Fighting Russia is like fighting a 200lb. slob. Rather than slug it out with him it's far better to dance around him and cut his hamstrings from behind.

  16005. Most in 1930s and 1940s Germany didn't feel a lot of sympathy for the Jews!

On the other hand, if it he thinks Russia will lose then it's better to attack while the West is occupied with Ukraine. But one thing is certain. Emperor Xi WILL attack Taiwan. It's just a question of when not if.

  16017. Right from the very start the REAL experts warned that lockdowns and similar restrictions would not work, and would only inflict an insane amount of damage. They recommended just isolating the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed. They later drafted the Great Barrington Declaration so that everyone could see the advice that governments had ignored. Advice that has proven to be spot on! The reason "leaders" won't accept natural immunity is that they would then have to admit to the criminal treatment of their populations. The reason so many of the great unwashed won't accept it is because they don't want to admit that they have been well and truly suckered. As Mark twain said: "it is easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled.

I'm tempted to say "honour among thieves", but we all know that most ministers would happily stab each other in the back, as long as they were sure they could get away with it. I doubt Hancock will be sacked or resign, because the rest of them don't want him spilling the beans on them.

Yesterday one of the women fleeing was completely covered up. Even her eyes were covered with gauze, so you wouldn't even know there was a human being underneath. Not only was this woman behaving as required by the Taliban, she was going the extra mile! And then, those fleeing aren't just women and children. There were plenty of fit men. Why should Americans die to defend men who won't even fight for themselves or their families?

For over a century Labour and the Tories have taken turns lording it over us, unchallenged. Both these parties are terrified that Reform UK might finally end this alternating tyranny. They will do and say anything to weaken support for Reform UK. There's even the suggestion that they are behind an actor pretending to be a Reform UK canvasser.

  16041. Let's be frank. There's a fundamental reason Boris is still there. It's because all those lined up to take his place are as bad as him, if not worse. This is the ONLY reason many Tory MPs haven't sent in their letters of no confidence. It's a case of better this devil you know than a far worse one. What we really need are a few like Desmond Swayne to throw their hat in the ring, because an almost total clean out of the current cabinet is required.

  16046. "WITH" is the operative word. That they have covid-19 is purely incidental, as most would have been in hospital anyway. This kind of lying cheating scaremongering has recently been shown for what it is in the UK. People in the UK were told that covid-19 has killed 150,000. However, someone with a brain used the freedom of information act to request that the ONS release the number of people without any existing health issues who had died from covid-19. The number plummeted to just 17,500, AND most of them were over 65.

In the first instance we have a very weak man, probably suffering from early dementia, who doesn't want to take a strong stance on illegal immigration or foreign aggressors like Putin and Iran. But on the other hand we have a very poorly educated man, who has probably never studied the results of America's isolationist policy, and who might destroy the one organisation that has kept Russia and China in check: NATO.

  16095. In the light of that truly massive, highly reliable, and respected Israeli study, it's time that those with natural immunity were accorded exactly the same rights. This means anybody who can show that they have antibodies OR memory B and T cells. Natural immunity is 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity. It is also long lasting, and may even last a lifetime. Furthermore, the Israeli study showed that there is "no statistically significant benefit to vaccinating those who are naturally immune". What's really ironic is there are people like me who are fairly certain that they have had covid-19. If the "science were listened to" and natural immunity wasn't discriminated against I would go and have that immunity tested and certified. If it turned out that I wasn't immune then I would get vaccinated immediately. When are some honest, courageous lawyers going to challenge this gratuitous and unlawful discrimination in our supreme court?

  16109. This wouldn't have happened, and fewer would have died, if the advice, given by very eminent scientists, in the Great Barrington Declaration, had been followed. The ONLY measures that should have been taken were to carefully isolate the most vulnerable. And this lockdown continues to cause immense damage to people's businesses and jobs. The education of almost all young people from 5 to about 22 has been buggered to hell, and hardly a day goes by without teachers and doctors telling us how a fairly high percentage are having their mental health destroyed. The ONLY thing that now matters is the RATE at which people are going into hospital. Not even the number of deaths matters anymore, as these are now baked in, so to speak. In fact, they will actually clear out some hospital beds and reduce the strain on doctors and nurses. One thing that CERTAINLY DOESN'T MATTER anymore is the number of infections and the R number. Because, with 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, very few infections will now lead to people ending up in hospital. Already the number in hospital has fallen significantly. However this lags behind the RATE of hospitalisation, which (surprise, surprise) we aren't told, and has probably already plummeted: and won't rise again. It's way past time that all those in Downing Street put on their big boy pants and ended ALL restrictions!

  16111. Let's be honest, and tell it as it is. You don't see Ukrainian men just lying down and letting the enemy starve and abuse their wives and kids. They are heroically fighting back with everything they have got. In total contrast, Afghan "men" are craven cowards, who are unwilling to defend their wives and children. So why should the West waste anymore lives or money on them?
    1
  16112. It's going to take Kiwis a very long time for the rest of the world to take them seriously again, after electing such a complete and utter joke as their prime minister. The likes of Jacinda make it so much easier for dictators to claim that democracy is a bad thing.

  16114. No! Mental health should be hived off from mainstream healthcare. This would vastly reduce pressure on our GPs.

  16115. Yeah, it's normal to be treated like a leper if you refuse to get a poorly tested vaccine that you don't need. It's also normal to be constantly asked to prove your vaccine status as you go about your everyday life. Well, if you were living under Nazi occupation this would be normal. Though, come to think about it, most people probably had more freedom under Nazi occupation.

  16117. Scholz is one of the most cowardly creatures on the planet. So it boils down to whether he is more afraid of the opposition or Putin.
    1
  16118. No one expects Russians to tell the truth. The damage done in Crimea was probably vastly more than Russia would have us, and especially its own people, believe. Admitting you got your arse badly kicked is too good for the enemy's moral, and very bad for your own.

  16119. Cowardly, woke BBC! When someone murders women, children, and even babies, and revels in it then you most certainly take sides. The side against them!
    1
  16120. Exactly. Doing this simply makes it easier for Putin to find and exterminate all those in Wagner who were part of the mutiny, which as far as he is concerned is probably any who weren't somewhere in Africa: and I doubt he would be concerned if they ended up as collateral damage.
    1
  16121. And the West will keep ignoring his pathetic threats.
    1
  16122. It's way passed time that GB News said this. The bottom line is that rich boy Sunak has CHEATED millions of poor OAPS out of their "triple lock" pension rise. As a direct result they are now getting a rise way below inflation. Even without having what they were entitled to STOLEN from them, many would still have really struggled!
    1
  16123. Perhaps things would get better if we stopped paying out tens of billions for fraudulent benefit claims. Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that one quarter of those of working age are unfit to work? Because this is the fraction that those 9.4 million not working represents. This almost certainly means that benefits are wrongly being paid to several million people!

  16126. Believe it or not, the scum in Downing Street are still going after the UK's children. They remain determined to inject them on the grounds that it will benefit OTHERS. Now, call me old-fashioned and out of touch, but I still believe in those medical ethics that say you don't treat a patient unless there is a clear benefit to THEM, and that benefit SIGNIFICANTLY outweighs the risk. Actually, in the light of this ruling people really need to ask themselves whether exactly the same isn't true of anyone under about 30. It almost certainly is.

Maybe if her elders had parked their fat arses on bicycles or public transport, instead of private cars, there would be far less to worry about. It's all very well to mock her, but it's kids like her that may well pay a very high price for the way older people lived their very comfortable lives.

  16131.  @AlanJan_UK_49  This is why governments are so absolutely determined not to hear that natural immunity is better, and longer lasting. They are like Miracle Max in The Princess Bride, putting his fingers in his ears and making silly noises. And to the billions spent of vaccines we can add far more billions spent in supporting lockdowns, and further billions lost by businesses.

  16137. So let me get this right. Our brave police let Just Stop Oil protestors unlawfully block our highways, without lifting a finger to stop them, but illegally dragged a mother from her own home. And let's never forget their unlawful treatment of the women at the Sarah Everard vigil. Is it any wonder that most of us now have zero confidence in them?

  16139. When National Insurance first appeared it was a very small tax to fund pensions that nobody really minded paying. But successive corrupt governments have mutated it into a malignant cancer that no longer mainly serves its original purpose. Simpler tax systems are better and fairer tax systems. People are much better able to understand them, and they are cheaper for everyone to administer. However they make it much harder for dishonest governments to cheat people. N.I. has had its day. Any government with even a shred of integrity would amalgamate N.I. into income tax and corporation tax.

  16151. You know the really GOOD thing about shooting a drug dealer dead? You don't have to waste lots of money fattening up corrupt lawyers during their trial, and you don't have to waste vastly more money keeping them in jail. Instead of harassing anti-lockdown protesters, the UK police should be out shooting drug dealers.

  16160. At last people standing up for their rights. The police should not be helping suppress people's liberty and freedom. They should refuse to take such action, and as such they richly deserve a damn good hiding. Of course, it's always much more efficient to cut off the head of the snake, so people need to go after the politicians.

  16165. Unfortunately this lying cheating government is only opening up travel under duress, and so doing all it can to make it too expensive for most people to travel. If lateral flow tests are good enough for all our school kids to use several times a week then they are certainly good enough for travel. The scum in Downing Street are insisting on PCR tests purely to price most people out of travelling.

  16169. This driver has very clearly stated several problems that the government really could fix overnight, or at least with one quick vote in parliament. Just get rid of disincentives that never used to be there. Getting rid of something is really easy because it doesn't require adding new infrastructure. Of course it's guaranteed that the Downing Street dunces won't even consider this.

  16175. Does the West want Putin to take over the Baltic states, and maybe also invade parts of Eastern Europe? Because this is what WILL happen if Ukraine doesn't win. What's happening now is because Putin was allowed to take Crimea.
    1
  16176. It's not. But, like covid-19, governments have reacted irrationally, and people have bought into their propaganda.

  16177. Research from several very reputable sources indicates that natural immunity to covid probably lasts for many years (maybe even a lifetime) and is vastly superior to vaccination.

  16180. We need a few who are hostile to the government in order to balance things up. Throughout this pandemic the BBC has proven itself to be the government's loyal lapdog. All news about anti-lockdown protests, some of them of historic size, both here and abroad, have been suppressed. All research showing the very low death rate and strong natural immunity has been ignored. The BBC strongly resembles the state media of erstwhile Iron Curtain countries.
    1
  16181. 9.4 million is 25% of the working age population. Even 5% not being able to work is seriously pushing credibility, and the GENUINE figure is likely much closer to 2.5%: one tenth of this. There is a mind boggling amount of benefit fraud, which if stopped could save us taxpayers tens of billions of pounds a year.

  16182. Good news if this is real. If I were in this situation I'd definitely shoot my officers and surrender to the Ukrainians rather than get frostbite.

  16183. This is like saying in 1944 that "Jews are losing faith in Adolf Hitler".
    1
  16184. While I doubt Boris faked having Covid, there was most certainly a conspiracy to scare people shitless, so that they would surrender their freedoms, and it worked spectacularly. The very simple facts, that most people were too stupid to grasp were that Sars-cov-2 only ever posed threat to about 0.3% of the population, and most of them were either very old and/or very sick. On this basis alone (never mind excellent natural immunity after recovery) there should never have been any lockdowns.
    1
  16185. A very wise decision. Chamberlain tried a deal with a similar psychopath in Munich, in 1938, and it only made things far worse!

  16186. Even if Trump forces Iran into agreement, am I the only one that expects them to do everything they can to circumvent it, and to renege on it as soon as Trump leaves office? Of course, Russia welcomes talks as it doesn't want the drone factories damaged.

  16189. "Zero tolerance" to covid-19 makes about as much sense as zero tolerance to flu. What we need is zero tolerance to retarded politicians.
    1
  16190. I totally agree, and I'm no fan of Trump. However it was very perverse of Biden to block the aid Republicans wanted to protect the US's own borders. If he hadn't done this then the aid for Ukraine would have been approved 6 months ago.

  16193. The very worst thing Ukraine and the West could do would be to give in to nuclear blackmail. Putin would then use it again and again to invade other countries. But, even worse, we would then see China and North Korea adopt the same tactic, followed by Iran, after it accelerated its development of nuclear weapons. I'd rather bet on some ambitious Russian general taking Putin out if he attempts to use nuclear weapons.

  16194. It's broken the brains, and the backbone, of most Australians who have rolled over and accepted nearly 2 years of oppressive tyranny for a virus that poses virtually zero risk to those who are healthy and not over about 70.
    1
  16195. Forgiveness is totally alien to Putin's nature, so he will have the kind of massive purge of Wagnerites that Stalin would have been immensely proud of. Those in Wagner who aspire to living a long life would do well to do everything they can to disappear. So, unless Wagner has plans to take out Putin then they are finished.

  16199. What a bloody fuss over a virus that only ever posed a threat to well under 1% of the population, who are overwhelmingly very old and very sick, and likely to die soon anyway. For most, catching Covid is less bother than a cold, and once they recover they have excellent and long lasting natural immunity.
    1
  16200. Let's not forget that in the "world's biggest democracy" less than half the population voted. And I'd bet good money that most of those who didn't are among India's poorest.

  16201. No need to answer the critics, because you actually explained all this clearly in your video. There are an awful lot of people out there who are unwilling to admit, even to themselves, that they were suckered into taking a dangerous vaccine that most of them absolutely didn't need: which goes completely against medical ethics. These people won't believe anything you say, no matter how compelling the evidence. As for under reporting, do you really expect politicians and their sidekicks to do anything that turns up evidence that they lied through their teeth to people about how safe these vaccines were?
    1
  16202. Here's a much less difficult decision that would bring in vastly more money. There are 9.4 million of working age not working. That's one quarter of the working age population, which is completely beyond credibility. Several million of these are no doubt getting benefits they aren't entitled to. So why not end this fraud instead?
    1
  16203. Nice to know that French teachers are as cowardly and work shy as their UK counterparts. FFS covid-19 poses an absolutely miniscule threat to most teachers. This was true before the Omicron variant, which is at least 10 times less dangerous.
    1
  16204. Those of us who aren't mentally deficient know that money desperately needs to be spent on so many essential services, rather than handing out tax cuts. Tax cuts would be nothing more than a cynical attempt to buy votes. Only the most gullible and most selfish would be swayed by them.

  16210. Like the police in 1930's Germany claiming that everybody was treated equally.
    1
  16211. Putin could have been taken out either going to or from his visit to Iran, by shooting down his plane. Relatively easy opportunities like this have been squandered. The analogy to Hitler is so appropriate. There's no question that millions of lives could have been saved if we had taken him out BEFORE 1939. Putin is no different and what apologists and rogue countries would feel is of zero relevance.
    1
  16212. Regions like Georgia, where Putin stole 20% of their territory should now be considering this, because it would currently be impossible for Russia to prevent this.

  16214. Science is truly wonderful and incredibly helpful. Used properly it is the greatest thing we have. The problem is that bent or incompetent pseudo "scientists" misuse and misrepresent it. Let's be honest SAGE are a bunch of charlatans. Only the mentally feeble, or those with some sinister agenda have any confidence in them. I would trust them to model plasticine in a kindergarten.

  16215. Ah, but Russia is very good at killing defenseless civilians, by blowing up the buildings they are in.

  16216. In regard to covid-19 vaccines, racial minorities can feel a certain amount of satisfaction. EVERYBODY, regardless of race or creed is a lab rat. The mRNA technology itself has been around for decades, but never before has it been used as a vaccine. Despite this massive unknown, the typical 4 years of safety trials have been dispensed with. This is one of the reasons why so many nurses and doctors won't touch these vaccines.
    1
  16217. The government is terrified that people will discover which bed-wetters bear most of the responsibility for the totally unnecessary, and insanely damaging lockdowns. If Boris really did say "let the bodies pile up in the street" then he's gone up a lot in my estimation.

  16220. If these people were acting as informers then I can understand, but getting upset because someone took food from the Russians is just plain stupid. If nothing else one should consider that to be able to fight them one must be fit, so one might even say that taking food was the right thing to do.
    1
  16221. A lot very very poor OAPs will be making that decision, especially after Sunak has CHEATED them out of their "triple lock". Having had the pension rise they are entitled to STOLEN from them their pension increase will be well below inflation.
    1
  16222. Most of us would like to see the BBC fend for itself like all other broadcasters. However, the government which is meant to serve us (not the other way round) refuses to accept the will of the people. Could it be that's because when push comes to shove the BBC says exactly what the government wants it to. For example, during the PANICdemic the BBC never reported how small most people's chances of dying from Covid were, and lied natural immunity, and suppressed news on very large anti-lockdown demonstrations. Instead it pushed the government's fearmongering propaganda.
    1
  16223. As long as there's enough leadership to wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah, once and for all.

  16224.  @stringer-ik1pc  Yes, but would today's mainstream media, or the BBC have reported the riots, or just pretended they didn't happen, as they have with the anti-lockdown and anti-(forced)vaccination protests?
    1
  16225.  @stringer-ik1pc  Because, you incredibly thick person, these vaccines are poorly tested, not that effective, and natural immunity is vastly better.

  16227. Actually, a proper smack would do the trick. When the Isle of Man had BIRCHING anti social behaviour was very rare. Bring this in, together with removing anonymity and televising the punishment and I absolutely guarantee that there will be a quick and massive drop in anti social behaviour.

  16228. Putin can have peace tomorrow if he wants it. All he has to do is completely withdraw from Ukraine, including Crimea. But don't expect Emperor Xi, who has plans of his own for Taiwan, to tell Putin that.
    1
  16229. Half of the population believing government propaganda in ANY country seems very reasonable, because well over half of all populations really aren't particularly bright. Even in the best of democracies politicians rely heavily on this fact. However, even idiots realise something is wrong when a "special operation", meant to take less than a week, continues for over two months, killing far more Russians than in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign. Also, Putin had promised extravagant celebrations on 9th May to mark his success in Ukraine. Far from having any triumphs, Putin has singlehandedly persuaded Finland and Sweden to join NATO!

  16243. Covid-19 has always posed a NEGLIGIBLE threat to our kids, and a miniscule one to most of those teaching them. And with EXTREMELY MILD Omicron the risk is now vastly lower. Despite this, just to please the selfish cowardly snowflakes, children have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. There is absolutely no excuse for what has been done, and is still being done to our young people. It is shameful, craven, and unforgivable!

  16245. ​ @TheDizzylizzy1977  I appreciate what you are saying. So the greater good would be served by fixing public transport. It shouldn't just be regarded as something that should turn a profit, but should be a reliable and affordable service: and help towards government's zero emissions. By the way, we too, at Chase Farm Hospital had our A&E stolen. It was almost exactly halfway between Barnet and the North Middlesex. As well as taking much longer to get many emergencies to A&E, both of the other two hospitals are now massively overstretched.

  16264. The wisest men know that they are not infallible and can be duped. Unfortunately Trump believes that he can cut a deal with absolutely anyone, which is totally wrong. Putin told the world what he really loves when he made his speech about "Historic Russia". More than anything else, and at any price, he wants to go down as another Peter the Great or Catherine the Great. If he isn't allowed keep any of the land he stole, including Crimea, then there is a reasonable probability that he will be "removed" from power, which is our best chance for lasting peace. Otherwise he will simply rearm and attack again: more viciously than before.

And there are people like Sturgeon who are only too keen to give him exactly what he wants!

  16278. Well a really good start would be to stop encouraging people to come to London by building more and more houses on our green belt.

And the stupid frightened sheep that elected them have been buying into this complete and utter nonsense. Those eminent international scientists that drafted the Great Barrington Declaration gave all these scaredy cat morons excellent advice. Just isolate the most vulnerable until herd immunity develops, by letting everyone else get on with their lives. Because for well over 99% of the population this virus really is no big deal. What most governments have been doing is refusing to face the facts, which is the height of insanity.

  16286. Those in Georgia are right to worry. If Putin succeeds in Ukraine he will most certainly go after Georgia and every Baltic state. In fact he may even go after Finland, Sweden, and some Eastern European countries. We should also note well that China is watching this very carefully. If Ukraine falls then we can kiss goodbye to a free Taiwan!

  16291. Of course this wouldn't be a problem if the government were genuinely "listening to the science". The chance of someone who has had covid-19, or both jabs, catching it is incredibly small. So there really is no good reason why such people should isolate. But I suppose suddenly removing this totally moronic rule right now would also not look good for BJ and RS, even though it is the sensible thing to do. As someone who has BOTH had covid-19 and two jabs, Boris Johnson's chances of catching it again are almost as small as the chance of him becoming an honest and truthful man.

  16296. SAGE is such an ironic acronym, since this bunch of scaredy cats are anything but sage. If Boris had had the sense to listen to real scientists like those who drafted the Great Barrington Declaration then, in the UK, covid-19 would now be just be a footnote in our history. Our economy would be in good shape, and our young people wouldn't have had their education and mental health buggered to hell.

  16299. Well, it was only yesterday that Braverman said TTK didn't have the balls. Never a truer word, about a very shifty coward. Putting troops in Ukraine would send a very clear message to Russians that they were not going to be allowed to take Ukraine, and that Putin was sending them to their death for nothing. This could turn things around! Mind you, Putin will really appreciate what TTK said.

  16308. A fair point. However the more important lesson is that Sweden did not go full headless chicken and wreck its economy. It's true that, due to other countries panicking, Sweden's economy took a hit, but it hasn't been buggered to hell, like so many. Also, very telling is that Sweden's death rate is lower than the panicking UK's. And we don't hear many Swedes lamenting the approach their government took. In fact the UK media is very careful not to mention Sweden, in order to avoid embarrassing our government. There is however one lie spread by the lockdown snowflakes. They say that what worked in Sweden wouldn't work in the UK, due to population density. What these cowardly scum neglect to mention is that most infection occurs in cities, and most cities have similar population densities.

  16309. Common sense would be covid-19 parties to allow what now looks to be a SAFE variant to SAFELY spread herd immunity. Something these rushed through vaccines have been spectacularly unsuccessful at.

  16310. Time for people to put on their big boy pants and learn to live with this virus. Even when it was doing its worst it only killed about 3 in 1000 of those it infected. Now it's even less, and those who have had covid-19 have natural immunity that is far better and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. ALL the Chicken Little panicking should have ended ages ago!

  16317. If we had helped Ukraine defend Crimea against Russia, all those years ago, then we wouldn't be where we are now. But the Putin appeasers failed to remember what happened when we appeased Hitler! Keeping Russia out of Crimea would have been a much easier task. Now Russia is using Crimea to leverage its invasion of the whole of Ukraine. If Ukraine falls then, make no mistake, it's just the second of Putin's dominoes!

  16318. Blair is such a has-been loser. He was a second rate lawyer, and a third rate prime minister. These exams may not be perfect, but they are by far the fairest way of assessing our kids. Teachers are notorious for vastly inflating grades for most students, and also downgrading those who incur their displeasure. Why does almost every country on the planet use such a system. Is it that they are all wrong and only Blair is right? Education, education, education is looking more like grade inflation, grade inflation, grade inflation.
    1
  16319. This means absolutely nothing. Russia has a long history of extremely brutal purges. Every Wagner member, and even those just suspected of being in Wagner will be hunted down and killed. Also, many of those in Rostov cheering the Wagner Group can expect a knock on the door from Putin's FSB goons.

  16336. What a pathetic snowflake. Even before vaccinations this virus killed less than 1%, who were mainly very old and/or very sick. Now almost all of the vulnerable have had both their jabs. The few that are still dying that probably wouldn't die soon anyway. Show a bit of consideration for those whose businesses and jobs have been destroyed. Show a bit of consideration for all those young people who have had their education and mental health buggered to hell, just to alleviate the anxiety of the most craven of cowards.

  16340. Like the mentally deficient psychopath that he is, Putin has painted himself into a corner in Bakhmut. He is losing 5 to 7 of his Orcs for every Ukrainian killed. He has now lost so many that he can't pull back from a town of little strategic importance and let all those deaths be for nothing. Yet there doesn't seem to be much prospect of him taking Bakhmut, despite his massive losses.

  16361. "As for the way out of it", ultimately it's herd immunity. Yes, vaccines are PART of the answer, but natural immunity is just as good, and maybe better, despite what lying politicians (and collaborating doctors) would have you believe. In fact a far better way out would have been following the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration. This is a virus that is fairly contagious, but kills well under 1%, leaving the rest with excellent natural immunity. So, just isolating the most vulnerable, until herd immunity developed, or until there was a vaccine for them (whichever came sooner), as advised in the GBD, would have worked very well. In fact it is lockdowns and restrictions that create strong evolutionary pressure favouring more infectious variants. So we may well have moronic politicians to blame for the dominance of the Delta variant.

  16371. If the Ukrainians can hold out for just another 3 days it will completely ruin Putin's promised victory parade on 9th of May, causing him severe and very public humiliation. This would increase the chance of his "removal" from power, along with his so-called "strong men".

  16372. Unlike Sunak, and his worse than useless cabinet, the French are doing what's best for France: getting the ILLEGALS out of their country. France is a beautiful country, with outstanding scenery and culture, excellent food, and generally far better weather than the UK. It also has far better healthcare. So if the ILLEGALS are choosing the UK instead then we must be doing something very, very wrong!

  16373. Here's a heads up. The CDC used to be renowned for its reliability and integrity, but not anymore. Now it says what its masters in the White House tell it to say. Once again it is lying through its teeth, as plenty of research indicates that boosters are only effective for about a couple of months. But hey, if at first you don't succeed then jab, jab and jab again.

  16374. All religion is superstitious nonsense, which intelligent and well educated people have given up. Those who cling to religion are overwhelmingly the very poorly educated and those of low intelligence. Of course there are dishonest clever people who profess belief in order to exploit the ignorant and gullible.

  16380. This is also extremely common in the UK employment market. It's highly illegal, but government and the courts turn a blind eye to it. The irony is that often a lot of those jobs shortages could be very well filled by older people. Incidentally, this is one major reason why companies love to recruit through agencies. They can make sure that the "wrong" application never ends up in front of them. The manager takes the recruitment agent to the pub or a restaurant and just tells him verbally what groups of people he doesn't want to see: impossible to prove. When I worked in Leeds I can remember my agent telling me how some managers had told him that he wasn't to send them any blacks! Again, in the UK, there is a serious shortage of good STEM teachers. There are a good number of older STEM teachers not in our schools because they are at the top of the pay scale and also much harder to "manage".

  16392. All over the world, those of us who aren't retarded, cowardly snowflakes have been decrying lockdowns from the very start. And the instigation of second and third lockdowns have proven time and time again that they are completely useless. But shit-for-brains politicians persist with this failed approach. All lockdowns do is kick the covid can down the road a little. Well, that's not strictly true. They destroy jobs, businesses and the economy, and the bugger the hell out of young people's education and mental health. But there is an alternative which would work. At the start of October a group of eminent international scientists drafted the Great Barrington Declaration: though this advice had already been given to governments months earlier. The GBD clearly states that lockdowns are ineffective and actually cause more deaths in the long term. Instead it recommended just isolating the most vulnerable, and letting everyone else get on with life. If moronic, self-serving governments had followed this sage advice there would be far fewer deaths and most countries would now be enjoying herd immunity. By the way, it's now looking like natural immunity, after recovering from covid-19, is vastly better than that conferred by vaccines!

  16397. Hamas are designated as being terrorists by the government. Holding a sign saying the same thing is completely within the law, and those attacking this man should have been arrested not him. Ordinary decent people can no longer trust the police! Those police who arrested this man should be summarily dismissed.

  16398. Nigel, do you remember what happened in Cologne a few years ago. Innocent young German girls had gathered with others in a square to celebrate Christmas. A goodly number of them were molested by so-called "refugees". But to make things far worse, the German government tried to cover it up!

If a rogue employee was letting the company down one could always send Jeff an email, and the problem was usually fixed. I hope that whoever takes over will show the same dedication to Amazon's customers. I'm a massive fan of Amazon. They have enabled me to sell thousands of my books, without having to beg some capricious publisher to consider them, and they allow me to get so many things I need quickly, and at a great price.

  16418. The panicking idiots in Downing Street should get off kids' backs, like Isabel, and stop buggering up their education, and impacting their mental health. The risk to kids is really tiny, and the risk to most of those they come into contact with is also very small. The fraction of those testing positive who now die is really very small. So it's way past time to cut the headless chicken act and let life get back to (the old) normal. People need to understand that the MAIN reason government is holding out for a vaccine is that this will get them off the hook about answering the charge that they have been far too heavy handed and skittish in their handling of a virus, that really is no big deal for most.

Now he's been caught with his pants down breaking the very rules that he has been crucifying everybody else with. Then, to add insult to injury, he gives the "other woman" a nice cushy job as a reward. A resignation isn't in order. There should be an outright sacking. Of course this won't happen because Boris and the rest of his gang of nasty little boys don't' want to see Hancock dishing the dirt on them.

  16431. Looking at all the replies, it's really clear that we need all the honest decent MPs, in whatever party, to come together and form a new party for people to vote for. The only big flaw in this idea is that there probably aren't enough honest decent MPs.

  16452. I'm willing to bet that if those who gratuitously stab and shot others, and other very violent criminals, were taken out and publicly shoot, with it being televised, then we would quickly see a reduction in crime.

  16456. It appears that the number of men trying to flee is at least as large as the number that Putin wants to sign up.

  16463. In the US the rule is that work visas are only handed out when a company can't find an American to do the job. Unfortunately the government and courts ALWAYS turn a blind eye when companies interpret this as meaning "can't find an American to do the job for sweatshop wages and conditions". It's much the same over here!

  16474. Just how stupid and cowardly are the government and a large proportion of the British public? 15 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. Are so many people too mentally challenged to work out the consequences of this? What this means is that the R number and the number of infections really doesn't matter anymore. This is because very few infections will now translate into hospitalisations. In fact the vast majority of those infected will barely notice it, and almost all of the rest will have symptoms akin to a cold or flu. Time to stop the Chicken Little worrying, put on the big boy pants, and get back to normal!

  16475. It will certainly get a lot worse for the hundreds of thousands of very poor OAPs that Rich Boy Sunak has CHEATED out of their "triple lock". Their pension rise is now way below inflation.

  16486. I don't have any confidence in Truss, but I have even less in Starmer. Starmer and his Labour cronies sold the UK down the river, just for a chance at getting into No.10. What's brought this country to its knees are the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, for a virus that posed no threat to over 99% of the population. Many Tory backbenchers knew the incredible damage that would be done and staunchly opposed lockdowns and restrictions. So, without the unstinting support of Starmer and Labour they could never have been introduced. Starmer too knew the damage they would cause, but getting his foot in the door at No.10 was vastly more important to him than the welfare of the British people!

  16488. As the ITV news showed last night, most people in Northern Ireland support the Protocol, and while some businesses have suffer this is balanced by others that have prospered. It is totally unacceptable for Boris to break a legally binding treaty that he himself signed up to, and which might start a trade war with the EU. This is being done solely to pander to a MINORITY of bigoted protestants who have a burning hatred for Catholics and the Irish Republic. Hopefully there are enough decent MPs to oppose this breach of both democracy and international law.

  16490. Congratulations on actually bothering to find out what really goes on in so many state schools. Most parents deliberately avoid knowing, otherwise they would feel the need to do something about it, like you did. Years ago I wrote a little book on what goes on in state schools. The only people that seemed to buy it were teachers. Some commented that what I said was, sadly, spot on. Others, some of whom were managers, were completely outraged at me spilling the beans.

  16494. I wouldn't bet on this. With tanks and other armaments now promised, I expect the priority will shift to cutting off supply lines over the Polish boarder.

  16497. It is impossible to know for certain that this vaccine won't have any nasty long term effects. This is precisely why approval normally takes at least 4 years. If we were dealing with something like Ebola then one could understand the rush, but we are not. Sars-cov-2 is a virus that kills well under 1%, with those who recover having excellent natural immunity that may well last a lifetime. By all means make the vaccine available to those at high risk. Nobody is arguing about that, but administering it to most people, and even worse, coercing them to have it is worthy of Dr. Mengele.
    1
  16498. As we all know Boris Johnson is a liar, a coward and a cheat. This is his way of introducing that vaccine passport that the government promised earlier never to do. "It's up to individual publicans" Right. And then it will be up to individual restaurant owners, cinemas, transport providers, and so on. And once enough of this discrimination has happen the government, "for the sake of avoiding chaos" will feel compelled to standardise things.

You have probably also made Whitty cry.

  16501. It's more Putin's mental illness that should lead to him, and his so-called "strong men", being "removed" ASAP. I'm sure most of those in the Kremlin, army, and intelligence agencies have families they dearly love and care about. Are they really willing to see a few old insane psychopaths destroy their children's and grandchildren's future, possibly in a nuclear war that could see all major Russian cities obliterated?

  16502. Dr. Jeannette Young needs to buy herself a large stock of Tenor Lady. Only the mentally feeble are allowing themselves to be scared by the Delta variant fearmongering. This virus is still killing well under 1%. It still represents a negligible risk to young people, and a really tiny one to most others. AND, once you have recovered from it you have immunity that is much better than that conferred by vaccination: and it may last a lifetime. Oh, almost forgot to add. As people are getting wise to the Delta con, bent politicians are now preparing to scare people with the Epsilon variant: a new bad-ass fresh out of South Africa. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

And, in a few days, they will be telling us that parts of Ukraine voted overwhelmingly to become part of Russia. Isn't it amazing how in a peaceful country it would take quite a few weeks, at the very least, to organise a referendum, but Russia can manage it in a war torn region in just a few days?

The same goes for two-tier policing turning a blind eye to Islamist militants. These 90% of people are neither "far-right" or racist! In true lawyer style Starmer is doing all he can to detract from the very real, and very serious, underlying issues that lit the spark for these riots.

Surely when they hear the threats of nuking the UK they must worry about the future of those they love. Many parents would willingly die to save the lives of their kids. Are Russians different in this respect?

  16529. Putin cannot sustain the equipment and troop loses in the long term. He can conscript reservists, but that's a public admission that his "special operation" was a lie.

  16536. Nigel, the real scientists who aren't cowering snowflakes will tell you that those who have either had covid-19, or both jabs, have an incredibly small chance of catching covid-19. This IS the science that Boris is supposed to be listening to. Most of the UK now falls into this category, and covid-19 poses a negligible risk to almost all of those who don't. Yes, Boris definitely needs to man up, and order an immediate end to the NHS app and all mask wearing. The ones who still want these things are dyed-in-the-wool cowards, so it's not as if they are going to take up arms to keep them.

  16546. Let's look at the harsh and thoroughly unpleasant facts. Despite coviv-19 posing a negligible risk to young people, and a miniscule one to their teachers, almost all countries have well and truly screwed them over for the past 18 months or more. And for what? To very marginally reduce the risk to older people. These same older people are not going to pay the price of climate change. So, looking at how terribly they have already treated our young people, what makes anyone think they will make any sacrifice now, to ensure the future of young people. Very current history clearly shows that they won't!

  16547. Trump needs to understand (or care) that "cunning" Putin WILL launch further attacks against neighbours in the future if there are not very strong security guarantees in place.

  16548. Putin is responsible for the deaths, or life changing injuries of over half a million Russians. He is also responsible for billions of dollars of damage being inflicted on Russia. To justify this he must deliver a major victory. If he doesn't he will lose power, and probably his life. So he will never negotiate.

  16550. Putin's "didn't have time" reminds me of that scene in Game of Thrones where Joffrey is sitting all alone on his throne, in a large empty hall, telling his grandfather that he is too busy to attend council meetings. Gorbachev will be remembered as a great and good man. If Putin is remembered at all it will be as a petty, bungling tyrant, who poisoned those that didn't agree with him.
    1
  16551. Those who aren't Putin's rent boys need to remember his speech about "Historic Russia". Putin is a psychopathic megalomaniac who dreams of going down in history alongside Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Allowing him any sort of victory would be catastrophic.

  16553. Trouble is we have complete wankers like Boris Johnson wearing masks when everyone (who is mentally challenged) knows they have recovered from covid-19 and now have immunity that may well be far better than that conferred by vaccination. And we have also seen the moron getting vaccinated, when he didn't need to. Making, or trying to make people take actions which are clearly of no benefit, in their case, destroys the confidence (and trust) of everybody in those actions.

  16558. Nothing staggering about 3000. In the UK we've got over 30,000, which is no big deal unless you are a whimpering snowflake. This is a virus that kills well under 1% so you would be lucky to see even 10 deaths out of those 3000: take a look at how many people normally die each day in NSW. Also the doom mongers who make these predictions are prone to gross exaggeration. Once again, just look at the UK's drama queens.

  16568. When I started at University there were around 3 elderly ladies running the registry. Just look at how many busybodies have their finger in things now. Similarly in most companies there was a tiny payroll department who were told who was being given a job and where they would be on the pay scale. Now we have large HR departments that often take it upon themselves to tell those far better qualified to decide who they should employ. The NHS is but one of many examples of the cancerous growth of management and admin types who do no useful work, but just leech an organisation's resources, and often make the life of those who do the real work much harder. And like a cancer these parasites need to be cut out of most organisations.

  16571. It doesn't matter one iota whether Putin is bluffing or not. Giving into nuclear blackmail is simply not an option, otherwise it will be repeatedly used, and not just by Putin. Also the reasoning is logically very flawed. Unlike the rest of the world, Russia regards Crimea as part of itself, yet Crimea has suffered several spectacular and very humiliating attacks. Anyone watching Putin's speech saw a desperate pathetic man who was babbling to try and save his own skin. Putin has seen the writing on the war, and far from easing up on him we need to be really piling on the defeats and public humiliation!

  16574. So true. In 1938, in Munich, Chamberlain thought that letting Hitler keep his Anschluss and the Sudetenland would insure peace. It had exactly the opposite effect of emboldening Hitler. Putin is the 21st century's Hitler, and allowing him to keep any of Ukraine, including Crimea, would be foolish in the extreme.

  16575. What about saving money by following the advice of former Labour PM, and human rights lawyer, Tony Blair? Instead of putting illegals up in 4 star hotels, move them to Nissen huts on a remote Scottish island.

  16576. OK, lets crunch some of these numbers 842922/25026014 = 3.4%. Now 290000/3000000 = 9.7% and 650000/5000000 = 13%, but let's be really generous and try to get this as low as possible 290000/5000000 = 5.8%. What this is telling us very clearly is that even downplaying a bad flu season, the percentage of deaths for flu cases that show up on the radar is at least 5.8% and probably significantly higher. But for covid-19 we only have 3.4%. Do however please note that these figures DO NOT say that 5.8% of the population will die in a bad flu season or that 3.4% of the population will die from covid-19. In fact, for covid-19, this appears to be between 0.1% and 0.2%. That's 1 to 2 in 1000, and they will be mainly people who are already very sick and would probably die soon anyway. So the death rate from covid-19 is much lower than what we get in a bad flu year. This is the clear message that Dr. Campbell's figures, from reputable sources, are telling us. If we don't shut down the world for a bad flu, then why have we done so for a virus that seems relatively benign in comparison? From these figures it seems even clearer than ever that Sweden adopted the correct approach. The lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing measures represent one of the biggest ever cock-ups in history. If politicians had a shred of honesty and decency, they would admit how badly they have screwed things up and immediately remove all restrictions. Of course, most politicians are complete scum-bags, and there is no shortage of innumerate, quivering, snowflakes who strongly support the debacle that they have created. It really is way past time to MAN UP, and get a grip. Let school kids have the proper education and childhood that they deserve, and that you had. Let university students enjoy, and profit from the kind of university experience that those who went before them enjoyed. Give those who still have businesses that small chance of salvaging what's left. I get extremely angry when I hear some misfortune being blamed on covid-19. Covid-19 IS NOT to blame. Unnecessary lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing are the sole causes.

  16577. I think the coverage of Pandemic news over the past 15 months has shown everyone what a dishonest and despicable organisation the BBC is. They have censored and withheld countless stories that their masters in Downing Street didn't want the public to hear about. Maybe back in the cold war days the BBC displayed honesty and journalistic integrity, but this hasn't been the case for a very long time. Most of us would like to see the license fee scraped and the BBC defunded. If they are genuinely providing a worthwhile service then they will be able to attract sponsorship and advertising.

  16579. "Blueprint for freedom" is a wonderful euphemism for Nazi charter. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity, and may well last a lifetime. There is also no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those who are naturally immune. So perhaps Herr Barilaro would like to justify coercing those who have had covid-19 into getting an experimental vaccine that will do them do good whatsoever.

  16591. God am I laughing my socks off. Real scientists told moronic governments time and time again that lockdowns wouldn't work. We've seen this proven repeatedly. Now we are back at where the first, and one of the strictest lockdowns occurred, and it too has proven to have been a complete wash out. Right at the start governments were given the advice subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. They were warned that not only would lockdowns not work, but they would cause incredible damage. They were told to just isolate the most vulnerable and let herd immunity develop. We have a virus that is highly transmissible, BUT it kills well under 1%, and those who recover have excellent natural immunity that may well last a lifetime. These three factors tell us very clearly that the GBD strategy would have worked superlatively: covid-19 would now be but a small footnote in history. In fact we probably wouldn't even have a dominant Delta variant. It was lookdowns and restrictions that provided the evolutionary pressure that strongly selected for this strain. Well done politicians!

  16592. Polls at the moment indicate that Reform UK and the Tories are about level in support. Yet Tory ministers are still lying through their teeth and telling voters that a vote for Reform UK will let Labour into No.10.

Does anyone who isn't a paranoid snowflake really pay any attention to them now? Yes we may get lots of new infections, but they don't matter in the least. With getting on for 23 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, hardly any new infections will result in hospitalisations, let alone deaths. In fact, most new infections will be shrugged off more easily than a bad cold. This ridiculous scaremongering needs to stop!

  16607. What a cowardly selfish old woman! Just what you would expect from a lawyer. The risk posed to the age group mentioned is negligible. These students are at far greater risk from seasonal flu, and yet we don't encourage them (yet) to get flu vaccinations. Thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. Yet 4 YEARS later we began to get an inkling of the absolute horror it could unleash: something that was completely UNFORESEEN. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know whether there might be very serious UNFORESEEN consequences later. Medical ethics clearly dictate that students should not be vaccinated. Neither should those who have recovered from covid-19, and now have excellent natural immunity. Of course people like Helena Kennedy and Boris Johnson have burnt the book on medical ethics, and scattered its ashes.

  16626. So we are told that vaccines are effective against variants, yet the government is going all Chicken Little over countries that have them. Does that really sound like "listening to the science". People have endured enough crap from this government for near 18 months. They really don't deserve to have a well earned summer holiday stolen from them, or to be priced out of it by the demand to have totally unnecessary tests.

  16627. The real problem is that governments are either breaking or attempting to circumvent the Nuremberg code. Unless who made the entry is recorded, what we really need is a few honest nurses and doctors willing to update the vaccine status of those unwilling to be guinea pigs for a rushed through, and poorly tested vaccine. Rather like some of the French resistance working for the Nazis.

  16636. Ukraine has every right to attack Moscow. However the small size of the drones, and tiny explosive payload, strongly suggest that, like the Kremlin attacks, these are a pathetic attempt by Putin's FSB goons to frighten more Russians into supporting him. For a real attack look at what Ukraine has just done to a Russian oil refinery. Unlike the FSB's inept false flag attacks, this is a job that's been very well done.

  16650. One of the definitions of insanity is repeatedly doing something that doesn't work. Throughout the world there have now been thousands of lockdowns, and all they ever do is kick the covid-19 can a little bit down the street. Another sign of insanity is persistently denying the truth in the face of overwhelming evidence. It's indisputable that this virus only kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. It's also indisputable that NATURAL immunity is vastly better and longer lasting than vaccination: and may well last a lifetime. Yet governments are hell bent on administering these rushed through vaccines to everybody: MOST of whom don't need them. Right at the start the REAL experts told governments exactly what to do, and subsequently published the same advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, so all could see what dumb-ass governments had ignored. The ONLY way out of this is NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY. You just isolate (and maybe vaccinate too) the most vulnerable, letting everyone else get on with life. Sweden doesn't even make it into the top fifty countries, in terms of deaths per million: way below the UK and most European countries. It also has a very low infection rate. Why can't governments learn from this?

  16658. A vast amount of lies and suppression of information has occurred in the last 18 months, often with the wholehearted collusion of the UK media. Here's a sampling: 1. The fact that this virus only kills about 1 or 2 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick has not been emphasized. In fact the government have often pushed the "anyone can die from covid" line. This is like saying "anyone can win the lottery". 2. Once you recover from covid-19 you have damn good natural immunity: maybe far better than that conferred by vaccination, which you definitely then don't need. You can no longer catch or spread the virus. This is how immunity works. The government has lied about all this. 3. Deaths due to covid-19 have been vastly exaggerated. Whether you apply the well accepted 0.3% IFR to the total number of infections, or the excess deaths to the population size it becomes very obvious that the reported deaths are way over the top. 4. News of often massive demonstrations against lockdowns has been vigorously suppressed, so that people have no idea just how much opposition there is to them, all over the world. 5. Very little publicity has been given to the Great Barrington Declaration, and the advice therein, which was given to governments many months earlier. Following this advice might well have saved many lives, the economy, and young people's education and mental health.

  16660. The Ukraine soldiers are seriously kicking butt with these new and longer range weapons. The West and NATO needs to keep them coming, in greater numbers and more quickly. Conservative estimates are that at least 37,500 Orcs have now been eradicated. Hopefully these weapons will accelerate this rate. Without a draft, which won't go down well, Psycho Putin can't sustain this rate of loss much longer.

You don't go for the train itself, or blow up the track. You simply attach a two small very strong clamps, which are hard to spot, to opposite rails: remembering to remove the turning bars to further reduce visibility, and also smothering the things in epoxy resin. This is cheap, easy to do, and hard to detect. Derailment is more or less guaranteed.

  16695. Most Belarusians don't want Putin's puppet dictator or his troops. I suspect even fewer want nukes controlled by Russian stationed in Belarus. Perhaps it's time they made a stand for freedom. Putin is much weaker than a year ago, so there's probably never been a better time to take Lukashenko out and lynch him, and kick the Russian troops out of the country. This happening might well cause Putin to be "removed" from power, and could also encourage other regions to make their move: possibly even ending the Russian Federation.

People like Buckman who expect people to take a punt on poorly tested vaccines, that will do them absolutely no good, make me very angry.

There is little doubt that Hancock was EVENTUALLY told in no uncertain terms that if he didn't resign he would be sacked.

  16710. As others point out we have a serial liar lying about lying. What's so funny is Hancock actually expects people to believe a word he says. This is a minister with zero credibility.

If Boris had an ounce of sense he would sack this train wreck.

They have well and truly been the government's instrument in regard to supporting its insane and undemocratic lockdown measures. Here are a few of their crimes: 1. They have never challenged or questioned the grossly exaggerated covid-19 deaths that they report every night. 2. They have never reported on the very reputable research showing that those who recover from covid-19 have long term immunity, AND don't need vaccination. 3. They have not reported the great many massive anti-lockdown demonstrations that have gone on in other countries. I hope GB news will not behave in the same way. I want a news channel that I can trust not to hide the truth because they don't want to offend their government paymasters.

  16731. Let's not forget that many countries are pouring money and supplies into Ukraine. Keeping up with this is already draining Russia, especially when one adds in the ever growing economic sanctions. Russia had to withdraw from Afghanistan, which put it under far less pressure. There's also, albeit a small one, the possibility that regions who want out of Putin's evil empire might now seize this opportunity while Russia has it's hands full. God knows there's never likely to be a better time to make a bid for freedom. Also, Russia is currently in no position to support The Fat Dictator in Belarus, if the people there decide to throw off their shackles.

But their insatiable quest for ever more paperwork wastes a lot of the time of virtually every doctor and nurse. Time that should be spent on patients.

With the damage Ukraine is now inflicting on Russia's oil and gas industry, and infrastructure, I doubt Putin would have lasted to the end of the year. Trump is selling Ukraine down the river when, with enough support, they have a really good chance at victory. Once Putin has rearmed my money is on him going after Moldova.

  16754. ​ @robharris8844U  You do have an excellent point. NATO has discouraged the kind of attacks on infrastructure in Russia that might be a game changer, and deliberately not supplied the weapons that could help accomplish this, or prohibited the use of those that they have supplied. Only recently Germany reneged on the Taurus missiles it had promised. The West hoping that Putin will just grow tired of Russian losses is extremely misguided, because Putin doesn't value Russian lives, and success in Ukraine is now existential for him.

  16755. Of itself, using mRNA as a vaccine represents a new technology. So many of us are very concerned that such vaccines didn't undergo the usual minimum 4 years safety trials. Now we have another departure from the norm, a booster shot after 6 months. Come summer are people going to be told that they need yet another booster shot? Are they going to be told to get a booster shot every 6 months. The government is EXPERIMENTING with people's immune system. A system that is immensely complex, and that we are still very far from fully understanding. Anyone who is OK with this ought to consider free climbing or base jumping as a hobby.

Honest, proper scientists will quickly tell you that there is no strong scientific or statistical evidence to show that any variant is significantly more contagious or deadly.

  16761. The only concern is power crazed government seizing the flimsiest excuse to steal our freedom. South African doctors have characterised this Fluffy Kitten variant, as I'm calling it, as EXTREMELY MILD.

Ah, but government doesn't want people learning the truth about natural immunity.

  16762. All Blow Job and HandOnCock needed to do was follow the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, drafted by some of the most eminent scientists in the world. They advised just isolating the most vulnerable, without any lockdown or similar restrictions. If this advice had been followed our economy would be in good shape. People would still have their businesses and jobs. Young people would not have had their education and mental health destroyed. But also, we would have had less deaths, and now be enjoying herd immunity. Blow Job and HandOnCock have perpetrated an unimaginable crime against the British people, and they continue to do so by not immediately lifting all restrictions. With nearly 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated hospitalisations will not rise again. Almost all new infections, in less vulnerable people, will simply be shrugged off. The craven continuation of restrictions is still costing people their jobs, education, and mental health.

Equally disturbing is a report in TES saying that headteachers are disappointed by this ruling. I wonder how many parents are still deluded enough to believe that most teachers give a damn about their students?

This is the act of a dictator, who knew that if the democratic process was adhered to he could not get that legislation through. But that's how a democracy functions.

Herr Macron should probably also go for acting so undemocratically.

  16812. Dr. John you are absolutely right about the value of vaccines. My little yellow book is stamped with vaccines for typhoid, yellow fever and rabies, among others. So you are preaching to the converted. But here's are the really big BUTs: 1. These vaccines protect from what are generally very serious diseases. As you yourself have demonstrated, and will no doubt do so again soon, covid-19 is no big deal for the vast majority of people. 2. Most vaccines undergo years of testing for both efficacy and effectiveness. The undeniable fact is that any vaccine for covid-19 will have been rushed through in less than one fifth of the normal time. OK, we've seen this before with Ebola, but Ebola poses a vastly higher risk to people. 3. A very important consideration is that most of us have zero trust in Boris Johnson, and his cabinet, and anything they tell us. They have gone out of their way to frighten people by grossly exaggerating the danger posed by covid-19, and deliberately encouraged people to believe that there is no long term immunity. Their propaganda campaign would have made Josef Goebbels extremely proud. Even in the light of recent research they have steadfastly refused to backtrack on anything they said, or in their incredibly damaging response to covid-19. So, UK government pushing a vaccine, and assuring people of its safety is about as counterproductive as it gets. If someone who you hated and strongly distrusted told you to put something into your body would you comply?

  16820. The government and most mainstream media have ignored the massive, and highly respected, studies from Israel and Cleveland showing that natural immunity is an order of magnitude better than vaccination. The Israeli study, of 2.5 million people, also found that "there is no statistically significant benefit" in vaccinating those with natural immunity". The only study government likes to quote is the small and highly criticised study from Kentucky, that even its own researchers criticised! People have also been grossly mislead by the WRONG focus on antibody levels. In the absence of infection these ALWAYS decline for ALL diseases, but upon reinfection the memory B and T cells see to it that antibody levels rapidly skyrocket again. Having constantly high antibody levels when they aren't needed is DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!

Yet there is no foreign army in Russia. Ordinary Russians, and even those close to him, are becoming more discontent by the day. As long as Ukraine keeps fighting, with strong Western support, Putin won't last much longer. That's why he put forward his ridiculous conditions for a ceasefire, and sent ships to Cuba. He is becoming more and more desperate and frightened with each passing day.

  16865. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination.

  16873. It's many decades since National Insurance did what it said on the can. When it did it was a tiny tax that nobody minded paying. But it has been totally subverted by successive governments, and grown to monstrous proportions, like a virulent cancer. An honest government would simplify our tax system by amalgamating N.I. into income tax and corporation tax. But when did we last (if ever) have an honest government? The more complicated a tax system is the easier it is for them to cheat and rob people.

  16874. "Russia steadily expanding" is somewhat of an exaggeration. It's made very little progress and its Orcs are exhausted and low on ammo. So Poo Tin talking about expanded aims is almost as big a joke as he is. In fact, with the new Western weapons Ukraine is once again pushing these animals back, and slaughtering a goodly number of them too.

  16887. I seem to recall vaccine companies claiming a week or two ago that maintaining supply wasn't a problem for them. But of course Downing Street doesn't want to make this public knowledge, because this is the ONLY excuse they have got if they screw up the roll out. Of course, there are many of millions who, having had covid-19, already have excellent natural immunity, and don't want or need vaccination. So probably around 20% to 25% won't be lining up for the jab, which makes roll out somewhat easier. On the last point, I hope people realise that our dictators are planning to use "vaccination passports" to COERCE people into getting vaccinated, by denying them their basic human rights to work and travel freely. Be in no doubt whatsoever that if they are allowed to get away with this even once it will open the flood gates for similar actions in the future.

  16907. Sadly, James may well prove to be right. All over the world there are equally rabid animals, like ISIS, who are watching the Taliban blitzkrieg. The lesson they will draw is that those who love freedom and value women's rights have limited resolve, and that if they but bide their time they will ultimately win. The truth of the matter is that the West is far too soft on Muslim fundamentalists. They laugh at things like Britain's deradicalisation program, and have contempt for those who propose such schemes. The only deradicalisation that works is a bullet between the eyes!

  16932. I'm reminded of Chamberlain's "peace in our time". Hitler was allowed to keep his Anschluss and the Sudetenland. Rather than leading to peace this only spurred him on.

If such people had been given a voice in 1939 the Jewish people would have been wiped out and the rest of us would all be speaking German. Putin is relying on these people to undermine our support for Ukraine.

  16943. Actually, the beginning of the end for the Tories was when Boris was swayed by the wets and introduced totally unnecessary, and insanely damaging, lockdowns. If only he had kept his bottle and given prominence to the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, then he would be a hero PM starting another 5 year term.

  16958. Only the quivering snowflakes obeyed earlier lockdowns. Most sensible people paid no attention to them unless they absolutely had to. Also, without furlough there will be very little public support. But this is missing the point. The fact that lockdowns are even being considered just proves how the previous ones didn't work. And the people asking for more are simply too stupid to understand that if something fails time and time again you stop doing it. Look at Sweden and all those happy Swedes. I'll be flying the Swedish flag outside my home to remind people that covid-19 can be handled sensibly.

  16968. ​ @Allannah_Of_Rome  Russia gave up the communist lifestyle decades ago. Also be very careful of what ANY government tells you, and of their stage managed interviews. The UK is currently one of the most free countries, when one looks at the tyranny imposed on so many others, using covid-19 as an excuse. But Downing Street and its cronies have definitely laid on vast amounts of misleading propaganda, and heavily censored news that didn't support their stance.

  16970. ​ @JamesC785  I agree, but one has to ask if the price paid to keep the two Russian speaking regions, and have EU or NATO membership might be too high. Remember, it's the ordinary people, not the politicians who will pay this price. Much as I'd like to see Putin replaced with someone like Gorbachev I very much doubt that this will happen. I don't want to see more Ukrainians die or become refugees. I don't want to see Ukraine's grain harvest fail and Russian gas turned off. I don't want to see WW III break out. Especially if the gains for all this are no better, or worse, than the current status quo.

  16972. My money isn't on Putin's unwillingness to use nuclear weapons, but rather on that of those who would have to launch them. While they themselves might be prepared to die for Putin, I very much doubt that they are prepared to see their families and loved ones annihilated in the inevitable nuclear attack that would be launched minutes later in response.

  16977. The most stinging indictment is that the government, like a petulant child, deliberately ignored the advice of REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta. Right from the very start they said that lockdowns would be ineffective, BUT would cause a lot of damage. And they subsequently published the same advice in the Great Barrington Declaration. The government also choose to ignore highly reputable, and statistically significant, studies showing masks were useless, and natural immunity was extremely effective. In short, the government decided on a course of action that they thought would look good to the public, but didn't have any scientific evidence to support it, and then ignored and censored everything that contradicted their chosen narrative,

  16979. The trouble is that Putin is a psychopath whose future, and maybe life, depend on success in this. So, like a compulsive gambler, he isn't going to stop. Also, if he is indeed suffering from Parkinson's he doesn't have a long term future, and thus has very little to lose. The only sane way to end this is his "removal" from power.

  16980. Really? All this fuss for something that kills well under 1% of people: in fact, only 1 or 2 in 1000. And we know the typical profile of these people. They are very old and/or very sick. Even acting on the safe side, only a few percent of those who are most at risk should be vaccinated. As for vaccinating young people, it's something right out of Dr. Mengele's handbook! An overwhelming majority of people are having their lives buggered to hell for a tiny minority, who have already enjoyed a very long life. And the poorest are being buggered the worst. Is this in any way moral?

  16995. Hopefully we are now way past worrying what an incontinent psychopath thinks or wants. ALL Ukraine, including Crimea, must be cleansed of Putin's Orcs. As for "walking away", just looking at recent pictures does seem to suggest that Putin's walking days may soon be over.

  16997. Several recent reputable studies have reported that lockdowns were completely ineffective. Recent, and earlier, reputable studies have shown that the vast majority of masks were completely ineffective. It's NOT a question of doing too little too late.

  17000. You know, I do wonder if someone is holding Putin's leash, to stop him invading NATO allies, and that maybe part of the reason for his atrocities in Ukraine are to goad NATO into something like a no fly zone, so that he will be let off his leash. He knows that with the unexpected resistance he might be fighting a very expensive and protracted battle that will eat away at his influence. NATO shooting down a Russia plane is probably what he is praying (to the devil) for.

  17013. Looking at how resilient natural immunity, after an infection, is to this virus, and the fact that it kills well under 1%, whose demographic is very evident, it should be blindingly obvious that Boris and his fellow clowns, in the cabinet and SAGE, totally screwed things up. Well before the advice was published in the Great Barrington Declaration, it was given to the government: right at the start of this pandemic. It was clearly explained to them that lockdowns would not work, and would just make a bad situation a lot worse. They were advised to just isolate the most vulnerable, and let everyone get on with their life. With the combination of fairly high transmissibility, and subsequent excellent natural immunity, it is clear that herd immunity would have developed quickly, and all this nonsense would now be a minor footnote in history. Just isolating the vulnerable would have been vastly cheaper than £370bn, but the morons in Downing Street refused to listen!

  17015. Right at the start of the covid-19 pandemic those of us with even a modicum of intelligence could see how disastrous, and ineffective lockdowns and restrictions would be. Now we are looking at even greater disaster, that won't achieve anything. The FACT is that Russia already has the Crimea and the two Russian speaking areas of Ukraine, and will keep them. We are looking at the fact that the Ukraine is not a member of the EU or NATO. Accepting Moscow's demands is much more a question of acknowledging REALITY than actually giving anything away. In my mind it is the much smaller of two evils. The inevitable consequence of this conflict continuing is that Ukraine WILL suffer vastly more devastation and deaths, and Europe WILL also pay a very high price. Yes, Russia will too, but I don't take any consolation in that.

  17016. Despite his claims, Blow Job is not in the least sorry for these deaths, and is in fact directly responsible for them! Very early on in this pandemic an international group of extremely bright and eminent scientists drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. Like many of us, they recognised the utter futility of the incredibly damaging lockdowns and restrictions that panicking politicians have imposed on their populations. To anyone who is not a complete imbecile it is obvious that, as suggested in the GBD, isolating the most vulnerable well is the ONLY solution. If this had been done then the rest of us would have caught and shrugged off this virus, there WOULD now be herd immunity, there WOULD have been far fewer deaths, and the vulnerable would now be able to get back to a normal life. Herd immunity would have protected them, regardless of what was happening in other countries. But Blow Job and HandOnCock willfully ignored the advice of these scientists. They imposed utterly useless lockdowns and restrictions whose only effect was to destroy people's jobs, education, and mental health. The most damning part is that they didn't just do this once. Despite seeing how abysmally lockdowns failed, both here and in so many other countries, they repeated the same MISTAKES two more times. The ONLY thing Blow Job is sorry about is that most people want him and his bunch of dishonest self-serving incompetents out of Downing Street, and will never allow them back!

  17019. Thank you Tom for mentioning that infections have remained within confidence limits. Though most people in this country won't understand what this means, it means that on this basis we would have to reject the hypothesis that the Indian variant is more infectious. While you haven't, unfortunately, directly contradicted the government, your comments make it very clear that there is no statistically significant evidence for any variant being more of a threat. It's also good that you remind people that the infections we are seeing aren't leading to hospitalisations or deaths, because this is really the only thing that matters. Here's a statistic that people might like to ponder. At the moment more than 5 times as many deaths and hospitalisations are caused by traffic accidents.

  17020. What's common sense is to realise that if you have either had both jabs, or have natural immunity after having had covid-19, then you can't catch or spread this virus and so don't need a blood mask anywhere!

  17024. During this pandemic the BBC, even more than most UK mainstream media, has suppressed covid-19 related news that might make things uncomfortable for those in Downing Street. It has extensively used highly selective interviewing to give a very false impression of support for the government's restrictions. In short it has become the kind of state television that we used to associate with Iron Curtain dictatorships. In countries like New Zealand TV channels all flourish on the advertising and sponsorship that they attract. If the BBC is so bloody good it should be able to do the same, instead of being funded by the legalised theft of a license fee that most of us shouldn't have to pay for a channel we don't watch.

  17030. Many of us are getting to the stage where we would like to see the plug pulled on ventilators for covid-19 patients.

But previously we didn't make everyone else pay for them.

  17031. NATO, or Ukraine for that matter, have never show the slightest inclination to attack Russia. So only someone who is very mentally disturbed, with extreme paranoia, would see invading Ukraine as necessary. Putin needs to be "removed" from power, before his sick delusions lead Russia to complete disaster.

  17032. The risk posed to the age group mentioned is negligible. These students are at far greater risk from seasonal flu, and yet we don't encourage them (yet) to get flu vaccinations. Thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. Yet 4 YEARS later we began to get an inkling of the absolute horror it could unleash: something that was completely UNFORESEEN. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know whether there might be very serious UNFORESEEN consequences later. Medical ethics clearly dictate that students should not be vaccinated. Neither should those who have recovered from covid-19, and now have excellent natural immunity. Of course people like Boris Johnson have burnt the book on medical ethics, and scattered its ashes.

  17038. The prospect of NATO very quickly throwing everything they have got at Putin's Orcs in Ukraine, should nuclear weapons be used, might just make even a deranged psychopath like Putin think twice. At the moment at least he gets the chance to get his Orcs back, if they retreat quickly enough. If NATO wipes them all out he will have an awful lot of very angry Russian mums and dads, and even more when he has to resort to further mobilisation.

The important thing to remember is that this war is really hurting Russia. It's lost a significant percentage of it's troops, and the Ruble has crashed. Putin's desperate plan to double military spending will definitely inflict more harm on the Russian economy. The longer this war goes on the weaker, and less able to attack others, Russia becomes!

It's even been stated that there is no intent to destroy their military capability. The UK and US lost credibility when they didn't launch massive strikes, without the endless warnings, after the very first attack on shipping. But on negotiating with Putin, Nigel has forgotten his history. Such negotiations would be as futile as Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. Yes, the war in Ukraine will cost many more lives, but if Putin isn't driven out (including Crimea) then ultimately far more lives will be lost.

But as the ever increasing ranting is revealing, this bully is becoming more desperate by the day, as the Ukraine military kick his arse.

But in one respect it's much more benign than flu, because it overwhelmingly only kills those who are very old and/or very sick. For the vast majority of people this virus is no big deal. Well at least it wouldn't be if spineless, retarded governments weren't crucifying the majority of their populations for a very tiny minority: many of whom would die soon anyway.

This is a government that tried to scare the sh!t out of everyone, despite the undeniable fact that for the vast majority getting covid-19 is less bother than a bad cold. This is a government that still, despite the overwhelming evidence, won't admit that natural immunity is vastly better than that induced by vaccination, and (unlike vaccination) may well last a lifetime. The only thing that really amazes me is that so many people are still stupid enough to trust the government and its advisors. The FACT is that most people do not need, and should not be getting, these rushed through and poorly tested vaccines. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.

Most of those in this age group who catch covid-19 will shrug it off more easily than a bad cold, and a good percentage won't even notice they have covid-19. Then they will have excellent natural immunity. Recent, well regarded, large studies in Israel and Cleveland indicate that natural immunity is superior to vaccination, and may last a lifetime. No decent person would ask young people, or those who have recovered from covid-19, to take an UNNECESSARY RISK with these vaccines!

None of these belong to Oasis. Of course Steve prefers this and last years marking, because when there are proper exams the schools I've mentioned absolutely hammer his ones. As to why girls do better than boys, any honest teacher can easily answer this. I have taught in mixed, all-boys, and all-girls schools. Teaching in an all-girls school is heaven, because the girls are generally much nicer to their teachers, and they are much more prepared to pay attention and work. It really is that simple!

Those who have recovered from covid-19 now have natural immunity that is vastly better, and longer lasting (maybe for life), than vaccine induced immunity. This clearly tells us that we shouldn't even be considering using such a poorly tested vaccine on at least half of the population!

Not that most of us are in the least concerned. Here's what I would do. We need to develop a test for immunity. Inject just the virus capsid and check that antibodies are produced. No response to the challenge then no IMMUNITY CERTIFICATE, no matter how many times you have been vaccinated!

While Putin has his hands full in Ukraine they have an excellent chance of removing his puppet government, AND taking back the 20% of their country that he stole. There's also a good chance that various Russian regions, on seeing this happen, would then make a bid to secede from the Russian Federation.

  17153. The trouble is that, all over the world, most people believe the lies their governments tell them. Just look at how people believed what they were told about covid-19. It never posed a serious threat to over 99% of people, who after having it had excellent natural immunity. Yet most of them swallowed government propaganda, hook, line and sinker. This made them willing to give up their basic freedoms, and get injected with poorly tested vaccines that almost all of them didn't need. And, despite all the evidence most people still believe what they were told!

  17162. We are living in a country where abuse of girls and women, in the name of religion, is still ignored on a truly massive scale. A country where it is OK, even under covid-19 restrictions, for a baying mob to congregate outside a school and intimate a teacher, who did nothing even remotely unlawful. Our deradicalisation program is a complete joke. The only way it could succeed is if terrorists laughed themselves to death, over it. But if we pretend it isn't there it's going to vanish like the Cheshire Cat, and leave just a big smile.
    1
  17163.  @auldfouter8661  It's so easy to expose pathetic liars like you. The IFR for covid-19, which gives an over estimate of deaths in the total population is well established, and easy to check. It's 0.3%, so 3 in 1000 would be an over estimate. People like you that want to scare others are very sick puppies!
    1
  17164. So once again we see how little there is to worry about. If 0.49% who test positive for covid-19 die this is just under 1 in 200. But as many don't even know they have covid-19, and so don't get tested, the chance of dying from it is much closer to between 1 or 2 in 1000, as I've said many times. To repeat myself yet again, moronic governments have destroyed countless businesses, jobs and futures, and continue to do so, for a really tiny fraction of the population. And as those who watched this video should realize, most of those who died would have died soon anyway. Why do people allow their governments to continue to do this, or even support their actions? It's like lemmings running over a cliff.

  17179. By now, nobody should be in the least surprised by Russia's murder of defenceless civilians. During WW II 22,000 defenceless Polish officers, who were POWs, were butchered by Russia. This was just one of many such atrocities. The key point is that Russia hasn't changed on iota since then. And this is why Russia must be driven out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea. Russia must be rendered incapable of ever attacking another peaceful country again.

Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. 2. Natural immunity, unlike vaccination, is long lasting. 3. There is NO BENEFIT in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Vaccine mandates don't follow the science. They follow the desire of despots to impose their will on others.

  17202. Yes, with herd immunity it really is game over in this country. But cowardly and power hungry ministers aren't prepared to accept this. Instead of looking at a glass that is now way past half full they are wringing there hands over remote worst "what if" scenarios in regard to variants. Sadly their propaganda would have done Josef Goebbels proud. They have created millions of snowflakes who are now frightened of their own shadow. Just two days ago I saw a man in his twenties press a button on the bus with his elbow: how pathetic. No sane person lives their life in constant fear of the worst happening. As the Gurkha's motto says: "better to die than live as a coward".
    1
  17203. The trouble is that there a millions of cowards in the UK. But cowards never admit that they have a yellow streak painted down their backs. They always look for an excuse to justify their bed wetting, so they will never admit that lockdowns and general vaccination were wrong, no matter how compelling the evidence. The freedom of information request to the ONS, showing that only 17,500 healthy people, mostly over 65, died from covid-19, is the most damning evidence.

This should never have been allowed to happen in the first place, but let's look at the government's response. 5000 visas will be issued, to expire before the end of December. So by the time our incompetent Home Office has received and processed applications drivers would be looking at moving country for about 2 months. Does this seem enticing to you?

  17219. A golden opportunity to take out Rocket Man is being squandered. Blowing up tracks or an armoured train isn't easy, BUT there is a VERY EASY way. You derail the train. Here's the idiot's guide on how to do this EASILY: Clamp (and super glue) an iron/steel strip to the same side of each track. You put the clamps underneath the tracks, where they are very difficult to see. The train WILL leave the tracks on the opposite side to which you attached the clamps. Derailments often kill, especially if they happen at the right spot.

  17228. Here is another thing for Tennis Australia to consider. Novak's decision not to get vaccinated has just been fully vindicated by the CDC in the US. They have finally released a paper, backed up by lots of research, which confirms exactly what the Israeli study found, quite some time ago: 1. Natural immunity is far better than vaccination. 2. Vaccinating those with natural immunity confers no additional benefit. 3. Natural immunity, unlike vaccination, is long lasting. What kind of sick, twisted government ignores the science, and insists on vaccinating people who don't need it with vaccines that are not 100% safe and that we don't know the long term effects of?

  17230. What Prin needs to remember is that the Russians are complete sh*t on the battlefield. They are very good at murdering defenceless woman and children, and demolishing apartment blocks, but little else. So capturing tanks would be a big ask for Putin's Orcs. They are far better at losing their own.
    1
  17231. Many of these people have recovered from previously having covid-19. As such they now have natural immunity that may well last them a lifetime, and could be better than anything conferred by vaccination. Coercing these people into getting a vaccine that they don't need, and is known to not be 100% safe is criminal! And let's be very clear, we can definitely test whether a person has natural immunity. Antibody tests have been around for well over a year, and tests for the like of memory B and T cells have been available for months now.

It has always been a whitewashing exercise and those running it have been paid handsomely to come up with findings that the government like. Any sensible person will trust this enquiry about as much as we can trust the upcoming results of Putin's re-election.

  17236. This isn't an issue that you would be indifferent about, so abstaining is COWARDLY.

Starmer hates people who have worked hard and made sacrifices to try and gain a little security in later years.

  17237. Parents who pay for their children's education SAVE the state the considerable cost of doing so. In other words they make more money available to spend on kids in the state system. So doing something that makes parents take their kids out of private education is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Of course, Labour will do everything in its power to hide the fact that VAT brings in less than the extra cost of educating kids no longer in the private system. But to avoid this, and being caught out eventually, maybe they will simply let state standards fall even further?

  17239. Sorry to hijack your video Dr. John, but I think I've got the topic for your next one. It seems that a few government lapdog "scientists" are trying to resurrect the "no long term immunity" boogey man. Here are the misleading approaches they have taken. 1. Focusing on antibodies instead of T-cells. 2. Mentioning the common cold, without noting that, unlike this virus, it is rapidly mutating and changes its surface antigens. 3. Completely ignoring the empirical evidence that would lead us to expect far more than just a handful of reinfections worldwide. This is among the most shameful representations of science that I have ever come across!

  17245. Fortunately, Putin is now in such a hurry that he won't give himself or his Orcs time to learn from their mistakes. We need to take full advantage of this by making sure Ukraine has enough arms to eradicate them as quickly as possible.

If she had been in power then maybe (as a research chemist, and not someone with a totally useless classics degree) she would have listened to the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, and never introduced lockdowns. She certainly wouldn't have paid any attention to the quivering "wets" who pushed for them.

  17256. Even the mRNA can conceivably get into the genome. If another retrovirus happens to be present then it not impossible that it might provide the reverse transcriptase needed to stich it into someone's genome. Because of the sheer number of people involved I won't be in the least surprised if we eventually find it in human germ cells.

  17262. We have so many remote islands off the coast of Scotland. So why are we getting tied up in the courts, and willing to spend a bloody fortune to send these illegals to some balmy tropical location? Surely the obvious (and much cheaper) solution would be to IMMEDIATELY send illegal migrants to one of these islands the instant they set foot on UK soil. This would be a very real deterrent!

  17267. Much as the bleeding heart liberals don't want to say it, as well as being rabid fundamentalist animals, Hamas are cowards of the highest order. They launch rockets into civilian areas in Israel, and then hide among their own civilians, using them as human shields. The only way there will ever be peace in the region is with the total eradication of Hamas and all their supporters.

  17269. That is so true. As a typical example, a few weeks before Christmas a mother brought her Y12 son along to me for tuition. He got upset when I told him that the teachers at his school typically predicted about two grades too high, and that the work they were setting him definitely wouldn't bring in the A grades he wanted. I then showed him exactly the work he needed to do. It was very clear that he didn't want to put in this very reasonable effort, and needless to say he is no longer with me.

  17273. Sunak really needs to put a sock in it. Discord among NATO members is one of Putin's wettest dreams. Ukraine is only going to use cluster weapons in its own country, and will probably go all out to clean up the area once the Orcs have been driven out. Yes these are very nasty weapons, but compared to allowing Russia to remain in Ukraine they are by far the lesser evil. I'm sure Zelensky would be happy to forego these weapons in exchange for NATO fighter pilots securing Ukrainian skies. And there are probably plenty of our pilots that would volunteer for this duty.

  17290. People conveniently forget that it was the virtual autonomy in Gaza that allowed Hamas to "thrive", and commit the October 7th atrocities. The "alternatives" that some seek would be like having this autonomy on steroids. The hard truth is that while Iran is in a position to stoke conflict and supply terrorists with arms there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East.

The bed wetting snowflakes are pissing themselves over the removal of all restrictions and desperate to find ANY excuse that might persuade governments to keep or reintroduce them.

Most Brits are definitely not anti-immigrant: my father was Polish, and my mother Irish. But we are against illegal immigrants being let in and put up in plush hotels, at our expense. And we are very worried about very undesirable immigrants, who hate our values and don't want to integrate, being granted residence and given benefits.

  17317. Keep up the training and supply of weapons. By conservative estimates Russia has lost 30% of its forces, so let's make it 60% by Christmas. Of course an even better strategy would be to get a team into Iran, with some SAMs, so that they can shoot down Putin's plane on its return trip to Moscow. This is a golden opportunity that shouldn't be squandered!

  17318. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.

  17323. Until this insane PANICdemic, for something with an IFR of barely 0.3%, proving the safety of medications took highest priority. That's why almost every vaccine has undergone at least 3 to 4 years of safety trials before general roll out. And, not only is the IFR for Covid incredibly low, but natural immunity after infection is very good and long lasting.
    1
  17324. I'm certainly not claiming this is the case, but what if some of these (new technology) vaccines turn out to be slightly carcinogenic? It would take MANY YEARS for this to be discovered. I could also mention quite a few other adverse side effects that, if they exist, could take years to come to light. But, hell, what do I know? Governments have told people how wonderfully safe these vaccines are, and they never lie or hid inconvenient facts, do they.

  17332. If you look back through history, or consider geography, it's an undeniable fact that high levels of crime go hand in hand with deprivation. Boris' chain gang is a simplistic response, that won't work, designed to appeal to people as stupid and selfish as this Eton boy. It's no coincidence that crime is a lot lower in countries like Sweden, where there is much less inequality. The proper way to reduce crime is to help people, by giving them genuine opportunity and hope. A lot of these young people in gangs feel like they have nothing to lose, and therefore nothing to be afraid of, least of all Boris' chain gangs. Does this buffoon of a PM really not appreciate that a fair number of those in gangs are actually doing what they do to support their mother and siblings?

This is a virus that kills well under 1%, who are overwhelmingly over 80. I think I've already had this virus, but if not I've plenty of time to catch it and become immune, before it's a serious threat to me. Nothing to fear but fear itself!

  17348. The BBC is now little more than a mouthpiece for whatever government is in power, only delivering "news" that will please its Downing Street paymasters. It reported complete trivia rather than mentioning some of the truly massive anti-lockdown demonstrations, happening in the UK and across the world. It only showed interviews with those who supported government restrictions. And it completely censored news on natural immunity, unless it was covering misleading stories that supported vaccination. Other channels compete for advertising funding on merit. If the BBC is any good then it will be able to do the same, and if it isn't then it doesn't deserve to exist.

With nearly 20 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated it's f**king impossible to "wreck it" for the very simple reason that hardly any new cases will now translate into hospitalisations. The ONLY wrecking ball I see if a panicking PM and his power crazy Nazi sidekick HandOnCock.

  17356. Many people like me repeatedly warned parents not to get their kids vaccinated, but they didn't want to hear this. Don't expect to ever hear the government admit that this was completely wrong. I'm 65 and so glad I never took this vaccine, although I've taken a great many others, and still will.
    1
  17357. Those 10% of nurses and doctors not vaccinated have made an informed medical decision, and are not going to endanger their lives just to please some despot in Downing Street. The NHS is already chronically understaffed, so the government can't sack 10% for one very simple reason. If they do then LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. Watch the government back down and have a good laugh. If they don't then watch them get lynched, when people start dying, and have an even bigger laugh.

The buggers know damn well that while proper surgical masks provide a little protection, the vast majority of masks are about as much use as a condom with a hole in it.

  17361. Would it have mattered? All those who wanted the job were complete imbeciles. There are a few intelligent, honest Tories, who might be a good PM, but none of them wants to job.

  17362. Do the British people really want the PENSION THIEF as PM? Rich boy Sunak CHEATED millions of very poor OAPs out of the triple lock that they so desperately needed.

Sunak STEALING from OAPs has made what would have been a very bad situation even worse!

  17363. I saw some news yesterday that, as a direct result of sacking care workers, saying people are now DYING. What the scum in Downing Street have done is already KILLING PEOPLE!

Just a few days ago even the CDC, very reluctantly, was forced by the science to admit that natural immunity is vastly better, AND that there is no benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity.

Well, that's what happens when you accept having a dictator who is a deranged psychopath. Just imagine, you are walking down the street or sitting in a bar minding your own business. Suddenly a group of men grab you, shove conscription papers into your hand, and cart you off to die on the battlefield. Isn't it great to be a Russian man!

  17371. If most people weren't so scientifically and mathematically illiterate they would realise how incredibly unlikely UFOs are. The nearest star is over 4 lightyears away. What are the odds that it even supports highly advanced life? Can anyone even imagine a propulsion system capable of accelerating a craft close to the speed of light, then decelerating it again: and doing this twice for a return journey. And at that velocity collision even with a tiny speck of dust could do a lot of damage. Sorry folks, but warp drive and deflector shields are pure fantasy.

  17374. What the Putin appeasers refuse to learn from history is that one of the things that brought about the end of the Soviet Union was the ruinous cost of keeping up with NATO armaments.

  17375. Rishi hasn't money for everything. He is still intent on screwing OAPs out of their desperately needed "triple lock", despite prescribing a very similar pay rise for those on minimum wage. Even with the triple lock the massive rise in heating costs, and the substantial rise in food prices, is going to crucify a lot of already struggling OAPs. If Rishi wanted to cut the pension bill then he should have let covid-19 kill a few more pensioners off.

  17377. The ONLY thing the Delta variant has done is give slimy politicians another excuse to trample on people's basic rights and freedoms. This virus still kills well under 1%, and represents a negligible threat to young people. Those who recover from it still have natural immunity that is better than that conferred by vaccination, and that may last a lifetime. Once people have become wise to this scaremongering con, politicians will try it on again with another Greek letter.

  17379. I do wonder if the really large study in Israel that showed natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity, and that there was no statistically significant benefit to jabbing naturally immune people, had anything to do with the decision. Maybe that law professor winning his case in the USA also persuaded our government not to set themselves up for a serious spanking from our supreme court.

  17380. While I'm very happy for France, it means that the UK can expect a stampede of illegals across the channel, before the French (unlike the British) deport them.

  17381. Out of the mouths of babes, as they say. The only thing most politicians give a damn about is the next ballot box, and they will say anything to get those votes. People need to remember that most of these old buggers are not going to be the ones to pay if our climate does go to hell.

  17382. The media grossly exaggerated the risk that covid-19 posed to the vast majority of people. It refused to analyse the immense damage that lockdowns and restrictions were causing. It didn't report on how totally ineffective almost all the masks worn were. It didn't report how robust and long lasting natural immunity is. And finally, it totally suppressed news on the vast number of really large anti-lockdown and anti forced vaccination demonstrations. In short, it behaved in a thoroughly shameful manner that is reminiscent of former Iron Curtain state controlled media.

  17387. Get to grips with the COLOSSAL wastage and this won't be necessary. Here are three areas: 1. Several million, who could most certainly work, are claiming benefits. 2. There are about 3 times as many NHS managers and admin staff than are really needed. 3. It's been reported that around £45,000 per year is being spent on each illegal migrant. These represent opportunities for massive savings, and other could no doubt add to this list.
    1
  17388. As many others have said, a major factor is that people simply don't trust our government, and very rightly so. Here are the FACTS about this virus that they went out of their way to censor or vehemently lie about: 1. This virus only kills about 1 in 1000, and most of them are over 80. 2. Flu has a typical IFR of about 0.1%. That of covid-19 is now well established at about 0.3%. So this virus is only 3 times as bad as flu. BUT, if one takes age into account, then flu is actually a greater risk to most people more than a few years under 70. 3. Despite persistent government LIES, long term immunity in those who have had covid-19 is now an indisputable fact: even if they were asymptomatic. Probably something like 25% of the UK population are now immune and don't need a vaccine. Only a complete retard would trust a government that tried very hard to hide such important information from the people it is supposed to be serving.

  17399. Putin is being seriously weakened, and his position is becoming untenable for many Russians. If the damage done to Russia's oil and gas industry, and other infrastructure can be continued then there is a very real hope that he will be deposed. Letting Putin keep any of Ukraine, including Crimea, is throwing him the lifeline he desperately needs. It certainly will not result in "peace in our time".

  17405. Absolutely correct that we should reopen sooner, as lockdown continues to cause enormous damage in so many ways. However, I think those of us who aren't incredibly naïve and stupid know that the government's claims about listening to the science and data are nothing more than a few more lies among the so many that they have told. One expects politicians to lie, but this government are Olympic champions at it. In fact if it was an Olympic sport we would need to mint a new platinum medal to award to them.

  17407. For the love of God, will someone who can get close to this sad excuse for a man shoot him or put a knife in his cowardly heart. They would be doing the country a massive favour. 50% more transmissible is definitely not my definition of massively more infectious. And aren't we all now wise to the "NHS is going to be overwhelmed" lie which has been wrongly claimed several times before. Sorry, but we've got all those Nightingale hospitals standing empty. I'm 63 but I feel desperately sorry for anyone under 30. All of them are having what should be by far their best years turned into a nightmare by this pathetic snowflake. School kids and university students have had their education totally buggered up, and those slightly older have had their early careers wrecked. And for what? A virus that kills just 1 in 1000 , who are mainly over 80, and has an IFR that is only three times as bad as flu. What's being done to this country is the work of a sadistic, deranged, madman.

    1
  17415. Barrons is right. China is watching what's going on in Ukraine with great interest, because it will be a very clear indication of just how strong Western democracies' resolve is to stand up to tyranny and unprovoked aggression. If our unity and resolve is not maintained then China will soon be conducting a "special operation" in Taiwan.

  17420. With that massive, and highly reliable Israeli study, showing that natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity, and a US law professor winning his case against mandatory vaccination the government probably realised that they were heading for a serious spanking from our supreme court. They probably decided to avoid the inevitable rosy cheeks.

  17421. It really doesn't matter whether these are actors or not. When you are dealing with millions of people you are guaranteed to turn up a few hard luck stories. It certainly doesn't make covid-19 any more dangerous: it kills well under 1%. Consider the lottery. There's a winner every week, but unless you are very mentally disturbed this doesn't make you think that you now have a good chance of winning it.

Sadly, as this is virus is less bother than a cold for most people, he will probably just shrug it off.

  17441. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news.

Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.

  17447. It's only "easier said than done" if you are a spineless incompetent like Sunak! Instead of housing illegals in plush hotels, set up some nissen huts on a few very remote and bleak Scottish islands. Transfer those already in the UK there, and as soon as an illegal sets foot on British soil send them straight there. AND publise this well. I guarantee most illegals will stop coming.
    1
  17448. It's bad enough that Germany doesn't want to send any tanks itself, but obstructing Poland and Finland from doing so is unforgiveable. Many of of us can't help feeling that Germany secretly wants Putin to win as quickly as possible, so that it can resume "business as usual" with Russia.
    1
  17449. The very public warm welcome that the Wagner Group received in Rostov has shown everyone in Russia how unpopular Putin really is. Russia's lies about the motive for invading Ukraine, and the number of dead Russians have also been blown out of the water. So all that carefully nurtured propaganda has in good measure been undone.
    1
  17450. While Putin has a very vocal Chechen mad dog supporting him, a large proportion of Chechnya really want out of the Russian Federation, as do several other regions. Now might be close to the best time to make that bid for freedom, while Moscow is much weakened by its war in Ukraine, and still reeling from the Wagner mutiny.

  17462. During that 90 minute telephone call with Putin I suspect that Trump cut, among others, the following two deals with Putin: 1. In return for letting Putin take Ukraine, Trump will get as much of their rare earth minerals as he wants. 2. Trump and Putin have already decided how they are going to divvy up Greenland between them.
    1
  17463. And let's not forget, folks, that just as energy prices are going through the roof Boris is going to cheat old people out of the pension rise they need, and should be getting, to pay for the heating they must have to stay healthy. That 8% that's being stolen from them, by breaking the "triple lock" might well mean the difference between life and death for some old people this winter. And don't forget that it's 8% of a pittance. People really struggling on minimum wage get about 2.5 times as much as the state pension.

  17466. South African doctors have characterised this Fluffy Kitten variant, as I'm calling it, as EXTREMELY MILD.

Ah, but government doesn't want people learning the truth about natural immunity.

  17467. Britain needs a lot more men like this one!

  17468. Just like the FACTS about the complete ineffectiveness of lockdowns are being ignored, the most likely cause of excess deaths will also be ignored. This so-called "inquiry" bears a strong resemblance to the show trials in Putin's Russia, where the verdict has already been decided, before the trial starts.

  17472. In my 66 years here's one thing I've noticed time and time again. Us "far-right scum" may not like hearing what the left says, but in deference to democracy and free speech we accept that they have the right to say it. But, for as long as I can remember lefties have always sought to silence those who don't agree with them. Now Starmer is trying to pervert the laws of this country to do just this.

  17473. Well, at least retired, with maybe a home help to keep an eye on him. But, on the other side, Trump needs to be locked up in an institution for the criminally insane.

  17477. All the most important infrastructure in a country should be run at cost, not for profit. This includes gas, electricity, water and public transport. We also need legislation to insure that those working in such areas are not allowed to hold the country to ransom.

  17482. Here's an interesting calculation. The UK government's own figures claim that over 5 million have been infected. It is also well established that the IFR for this virus is around 0.3%. So: 5,000,000 X 0.003 = 15,000 Strange isn't it how this is about one tenth of the deaths the government have told us that there have been.😉

  17483. The Tories were also useless. Unfortunately most Brits were too stupid to do something about it by voting Reform UK.

  17484. This isn't justice, this is pure vindictive victimisation, by a small minded judge who should be struck off. As others have said, an appeal needs to be launched.

  17485. Yep. This showed how easy it is to scare most people, who will then do whatever government wants them to. It reminds me of the Nazi scaremongering I saw at the Wannsee centre.
    1
  17486. Putin has just been forced to admit that the economy in Russia isn't that rosy. If he has been forced to admit this then imagine just how bad it really must be. On the battlefield he is getting his incontinent arse kicked, and that's BEFORE Ukraine even launches its spring offensive. We have a very frightened psychopath watching the wolves closing in. So like a lot of animals who see their end approaching he is desperately trying to look scary. I doubt that even most of Putin's supporters are prepared to see their families and loved ones get nuked for him.
    1
  17487. If both husband and wife were fully vaccinated then, contrary to government lies designed to scare people, they posed no risk to anyone. In almost any circumstances such treatment would be bad, but this is really, really sick. I sometimes think that the best way to put a quick end to this insane panicking would be for a few of the politicians responsible to take a bullet or a knife. This might bring the rest of them to their senses. Certainly, in the UK, if this happened to Hancock millions of people would celebrate wildly!

  17492. Ah yes, the good old British public. "We support your strike as long as it doesn't inconvenience us". Do most know what the average BASIC salary of nurses and ambulance workers is, or just how hard many of them work? I very much doubt that many give a toss. Going out and clapping on Thursday nights costs bugger all. What about showing some real support for those we turn to when we are in trouble.
    1
  17493. Medical ethics was very clear on this, but was ignored. Even with a vaccine that has undergone years of safety testing and many more of use in the field, you DO NOT vaccinate people who are at negligible risk from a disease: and even more so if they have gained excellent natural immunity as a result of previous infection. In almost all of the most developed countries excess deaths have been running at about 10% for the past couple of years. Go figure what their common denominator is. Of course, most of mainstream media hasn't been reporting on these deaths, and YouTube has bots dedicated to removing any comments that directly state the likely cause.

While it may just have been discovered in South Africa, there is also no evidence that it hasn't been around for a while. It's very likely already in the UK, but not been noticed because it really isn't that bad.

  17513. It's a well documented fact that Starmer has tested positive for covid-19 6 times. Does anyone, apart from those denied sharp objects, really believe that he has had covid-19 even half this number of times? These tests have never been fit for purpose. That's unless grossly over estimating covid-19 infections is their real purpose.
    1
  17514. Everything really depends on the RATE of hospitalisations. So isn't it strange how every night we see the infection rate, and the death rate, but only the TOTAL for those in hospitals. Could it possibly be that, with over 10 million now vaccinated, that this has already started to fall precipitously? Right from the start of the pandemic the scum in Downing Street have gone out of their way to hide any information that might cause the public to question the wisdom of lockdowns or kick back against them. I very strongly suspect that the RATE of hospitalisations are a lot lower than they were a few weeks ago, and dropping rapidly. We don't need a cautious exit from lockdown, we need a brave and fast one. Assuming these vaccines have worked, we HAVE turned a corner. The damage to the economy, education, and people's mental health needs to end NOW!

  17523. This is why, a day or two ago, Putin made his pathetic speech about how the Ukraine counter offensive was failing, and those missiles weren't helping. Like Hamas, the only thing Putin is good at is murdering women and children.

    1
  17548. Yep, for a virus that only ever posed a threat to well under 1% policies were pursued that made the relatively few rich much richer and the vast majority so much poorer. The REAL experts like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta were ignored when they strongly advised against lockdowns. Instead charlatans like Witless Whitty were put on podiums to frighten people.

  17553.  @SurfinScientist  You are obviously someone who strongly wants to push vaccination. 1. The research I have seen certainly indicates that natural immunity IS as good, if not better than that conferred by vaccination. 2. The risk to the vast majority of young people really is negligible. But this doesn't mean that the vaccine pushers won't find the odd very unlucky case with which to scare everyone else. 3. Yes the Delta variant does seem to be a bit more infective, but the upper limit is about 60% more, which really isn't that terrible, and on the plus side research seems to indicate that it is LESS DEADLY. The vaccines should be kept for the very old, the sick, and the frightened.

  17554. What Suella did had zero security implications, as the contents of her email was due to become public knowledge within hours. This was a pathetic pretext to get rid of her. But what's far more pathetic is Starmer's attempt to make something out of her re-appointment. Starmer is sulking like a little child because he didn't get an immediate election, and he knows damn well that his chances of getting into No.10 in two years time are much, much smaller. That's assuming he's even still the Labour "leader".

  17556. This is the nightmare that many have been fearing. A never ending round of vaccinations. No doubt this will be accompanied by full on Chicken Little panicking whenever there's a new variant: regardless of whether there's the slightest proof that it's more infectious or deadly. By acquiescing to lockdowns and restrictions, cowardly and stupid people have opened the gates of hell to government demons who want to now keep us in thrall forever. Is this the way we are all going to live our lives from now on? And all for a virus that only kills between one and two people in a 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick.

  17560. What Whitty says shows not only that lockdowns were completely unnecessary, but that the SAGE "scientists" were totally lacking in integrity. A scientist with integrity does not change his/her narrative to please the government! Once again we see how right the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, were when they warned against lockdowns right from the start, and again in the Great Barrington Declaration: signed by thousands of scientists.

  17563. GOOD!!! If, as reported, there are now weaknesses in Crimea's defences then Ukraine needs to exploit them for all they are worth, and hopefully increase those weaknesses. Let's not forget that if Ukraine can make good inroads into Crimea then it will make it much easier to take out the Kerch bridge, and also wipe out the Black Sea fleet that has been moved to a port on mainland Russia.

  17565. What a frightened snowflake this sad excuse for a man is. The country would be even more screwed if he was PM! Yes there was a massive mistake. That was not following the advice given to governments months before the Great Barrington Declaration was published for all too see. This is a virus that kills well under 1%, and we have a fairly good idea who those people are likely to be. If just the most vulnerable had been isolated we would now be enjoying herd immunity, with the economy and young people's education and mental health not buggered to hell. Did any of these morons, like Starmer, ever stop to consider that lockdowns and restrictions put evolutionary pressure on the virus that strongly favours more transmissible strains? No, because none of these idiots have science degrees.

  17570. What an evil man! He doesn't deserve to be called Doctor, because he is ignoring SCIENTIFIC FACTS. 1. Children and younger people are at negligible risk from covid-19. 2. Natural immunity is much better than vaccine induced immunity and may well last a lifetime. All the above definitely do not need vaccination. If you had walked into any medical ethics lecture a couple of years ago you would have got a unanimous consensus on this, especially when you mentioned that the vaccines had been rush through, without the usual minimum 4 years safety trials. Sadly Downing Street, and people like Simon Clarke have burnt the books on medical ethics.

As long as the work is being done well it really doesn't matter if the employee does it from a beach in Hawaii.

  17575. The root cause of these riots is that the VAST MAJORITY of people are very concerned over illegal and inappropriate immigration, and the FACT that certain groups appear to have immunity from prosecution. Hell, even the very few that do get prosecuted aren't deported. Starmer telling everybody that what they can plainly see with their own eyes isn't true, and that the only people unhappy are "far-right thugs" is only further inflaming things!

  17578. Because of it's extreme reluctance to engage with aggressors, the West is perceived as WEAK, rather than conciliatory. Not allowing Ukraine to use western supplied missiles in Russian territory, or giving them ones that would do this better, increases the chance of war with Russia, because it shows that the West is frightened. And there's nothing that attracts the attention of a bully like Putin more than fear. Bullies don't attack those who they think will fight back hard!

  17593. Let's be honest! Across the world covid-19 restrictions are doing vastly more harm than the virus ever would. They overwhelmingly benefit the rich and the powerful while at the same time crucifying those who are poor. The worst thing about this is that a group of very eminent international scientists advised the proper course of action in the Great Barrington Declaration. Unfortunately this was ignored by cowardly and mentally feeble politicians. If the GBD had been followed there is absolutely no doubt that we would have had less deaths. But also, many countries would now be enjoying herd immunity (without any vaccine), and the economies, and young people's education and mental health wouldn't have been buggered to hell.

The UK has about 10 times as many infections, as do many other countries, but people are going about their normal lives: apart from the fascist travel restrictions. The complete morons that are screwing up peoples lives must be forced to acknowledge that sars-cov-2 is a relatively benign virus that kills well under 1%, and that no matter what they do they will never get rid of it. The violation of people's rights and liberties will continue indefinitely until people take a stand and refuse to behave like cattle in an abattoir.

However, this lags behind the hospitalisation RATE, which we are deliberately not shown because it is by far the most important metric, and it is PLUMMETING. This is the evidence, staring our cowardly government in the face! The R number and number of infections NO LONGER MATTER, because with over 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated very few of these infections will now lead to hospitlisations. They will be shrugged off with less ado than a bad cold. It's time to end ALL this dictatorial Chicken Little panic.

But over the years it has become perverted and corrupted, out of all recognition, from its original purpose: and grown massively, like a malignant cancer. An honest government would have simplified the tax system years ago by amalgamating N.I. into income tax and corporation tax. But when was the last time we had an honest government? It's much easier to con and cheat people with a more complicated tax system. Dan while you and I remember that coming out of lockdown was supposed to be IRREVOCABLE (I wonder who said that), don't expect most of the bleating sheep to make much of a fuss. When kids had their hard earned exams stolen from them twice, when they had their education and mental health buggered to hell by school closures, parents stood by and did nothing. The British people are no longer willing to make a stand for their rights. If it were 1939 again today's Brits would roll out the red carpet for Hitler and polish his soldiers jack boots!

In France migrants are living in tents, so why are we housing them in plush hotels? We have over 7,700 offshore island where they could be detained in tents or Nissen huts: and much more cheaply. 3. If these illegals can find the gangsters who are smuggling them then, without the slightest doubt, MI6 could find them and deal with them.

That's why we teach students as young as Y11 about the danger of extrapolating curves. Once you start extrapolating you can design a function to make a curve do whatever you want it to. The SAGE scaremongers should have heeded the South African doctors' assessment about Omicron being EXTREMELY MILD instead of running round like headless chickens. Their unjustified panicking has destroyed a lot more businesses that would otherwise have recovered.

  17628. For the past few decades parties have tried to be all things to all men, and ended up pleasing nobody. Conservatives need to not bother with the lazy dole bludgers and soft on crime brigade. Likewise Labour shouldn't be trying to win the votes of those who lament the passing of the "dark satanic mills" and child labour.

  17641. Is the free world really going to let a deranged psychopath make the rules? Under international law Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and therefore entitled to ask any country or organisation to help it defend itself. Putin will no doubt aim to block supply roots for these tanks and further armaments. So it would be a really good idea, which Ukraine would welcome, for NATO to patrol Ukrainian skies and shoot down any Russian aircraft found in them. God knows there is probably no shortage of American, British and Polish pilots who would volunteer to fly such missions.

  17653. Well said about the needless worrying over cases in Europe. Those of us with a little grey matter between the ears have been saying that it doesn't matter now that so many people have been vaccinated. We got the SAGE Dr. Deaths who make Marvin the manic depressive robot seem like the life and soul of the party, and power crazed little Hitlers like Hancock who use every pessimistic forecast as an excuse to cling on to dictatorial power.
    1
  17654. Even taking the WHO figure of 3 times as many deaths this is only less than 0.007% of those infected. Only the most dyed-in-the-wool bed-wetting snowflakes will lose any sleep over this. Good old-fashioned flue has a much higher kill rate.

  17656. We have getting on for 33 million now vaccinated, with not too far off a third having had their second jab. So, despite what's going on elsewhere in the rest of the world, and the dire dirges of depressive snowflakes like Witless Whitty, it really is game over in the UK. In fact it's now extremely likely that, between natural immunity and vaccines, that the UK has now achieved herd immunity. Other than cowardly and power hungry ministers, there is absolutely no rational reason why we can't go completely back to normal. There simply isn't the slightest need for vaccine passports.

  17659. Here's my reflection. We have seen hospitalisations and deaths steadily plummet to the level where they are inconsequential compared to the carnage that happens on our roads. We have seen vaccines seeing off ALL variants. Yet despite this the cowardly tyrants in Downing Street won't get off people's backs and return the freedoms they have stolen from them.

  17660. One area of the NHS that definitely isn't understaffed is management and administration. These parasites are like a virulent cancer, sucking the life out of the NHS.

It's findings are very inconvenient and embarrassing to most governments, who really would like everyone to ignore it.

To quote mark Twain: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."

This is now proven to be the correct advice. But Boris took the coward's approach by copying other cowards. Now the country is paying an incredibly high price for his cowardice. And not ALL governments went full throttle tyrant, as millions of happy Swedes will testify. Their deaths per million are way below the UK in the league table.

Out of sheer self interest we would rapidly see governments in these countries evolving into much more acceptable regimes. This is far more effective than the foreign aid, which these leaders now embezzle. If I were Boris or Trump I would have no qualms about instigating such a policy, and would actually sleep even better after doing so.

  17689. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news.

There's a massive difference between hating the West and being prepared to see your country annihilated just to help Putin.

  17698. While there is some truth in this, to be fair, the "white working class" has often been its own worst enemy. Since returning to the UK, over a decade ago, I have earned my living by privately tutoring A-Level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. And you know what? Among the large number of students I have tutored relatively few have even been dyed-in-the wool English, let alone white working class.

  17701. Sadly the EU isn't short of a few dictators. We now have the Fourth Reich in Austria forcing vaccinations on people.

But you will wait in vain for this so-called "inquiry" to call any INDEPENDENT experts, and we all know why!

Why is Trump trying so hard to save him?
    1
  17724. Think people. Trump defines himself by how advantageous the deals he makes are for him, and with a total disregard for morality. His 90 minutes phone call to Putin gave him lots of time to cut a few deals. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he hasn't at least agreed the following two: 1. If Trump is allowed to have the rare earth minerals that he so covets, then Putin can eventually take the whole of Ukraine. 2. Greenland is to be divvied up between Trump and Putin, just like Poland was divvied up in 1939.

  17730. The low death rate coupled with high infections does seem, to me, to suggest that the wisest course of action might be to abandon all the panic measures. This would massively speed up natural herd immunity, and the hospitals currently have the capacity that they may not have if a second wave coincides with a bad flu season. Too many people are placing all their hopes on a vaccine which is likely to be some time off, and may not come at all. Although I'm 62, I'm sick of hearing how selfish and irresponsible young people are, from people who mostly enjoyed a very full life when they were young, and now want to deny it to others. Also, what was done to A-level students was nothing short of criminal negligence. By late May the very low risk to these students was well known and it would have been incredibly easy and safe to reschedule A-levels for July. Thanks again for the informative video. It's just sad that so many people would rather spend twice as long watching Love Island or really don't want to be told anything that will reduce their fear and panicking.

I'm very pleased that most got away, as it will encourage more to party on. Next time secure the doors better, and post a lookout, so that more can get away. Pointing a strobe light, flashing at between 10Hz and 15Hz, directly at the police should also slow then down A LOT. Honestly, are all the real criminals on sabbatical during lockdown? Do the police really have so little serious crime to deal with that they feel that acting as Hancock's Gestapo is a good use of their time, and what the taxpayer prefers to see them doing.

  17736. Maybe China is guilty. Who really knows. But is anyone really naive enough to think that if something like this happened in England that the government wouldn't use the full weight of the Official Secrets Act to keep a lid on it? Just look at how the government is doing everything in its power to make sure that people never realise how good and long lasting natural immunity is. Because it this happens they will realise just how unnecessary the lockdowns that destroyed businesses and jobs, and buggered young people's education and mental health to hell, were.

  17737. Yet another example of what a weak and pathetic excuse for a man Sunak is.

Because it should have been taken into account BEFORE injecting countless millions of people with the Covid mRNA vaccines, and the government doesn't want to admit that it deliberately choose to ignore such concerns. Of course, for big pharma mRNA treatments are a massive cash cow they have been having wet dreams about for years.

One recent very blatant example of two-tier policing is the fast-tracking of Starmer's "far-right thugs" into prisons that we are told are full, while the savage that broke a policewoman's nose hasn't even been charged! This is just one of many examples that we have all seen, so we are not all just imagining it. It is very real.

So, perhaps an old Russian tale might explain why there is now a lot of support for them, and little opposition. Once upon a time a genie appeared to a man and offered to grant him one wish. But before he could make it he was told: "I will grant you whatever your heart desires, but understand that whatever I do for you, I will do twice as much for all your neighbours". The man thought about this for a few minutes. Then he said to the genie: "Take one of my eyes".

Apart from the video a few days ago, by Dr. Suneel Dhand, why is no one mentioning that report from 2017 that clearly stated that there were unavoidable NASTY side effects to injecting mRNA into people? Governments, and the WHO must have been well aware of this, and yet they pressured the majority of people into having a vaccine that they absolutely didn't need. Whatever happened to medical ethics?

In fact there is now an army of pathetic snowflakes working constantly to remove anything that frightens them.

  17786. There's plenty of envy, and cutting off your nose to spite your face, on this one. Whenever it's mentioned that putting private schools out of business will either greatly increase state education costs or lower standards even further, by increasing class sizes, the levelling down trolls get really upset. In fact, the very best way to improve education for everyone would be to encourage more into private education by giving a tax rebate on private school fees. This would mean smaller classes in the state sector.

Far from causing a catastrophe in the NHS, this variant could well be it's saviour, if Downing Street stopped their malicious meddling. South African doctors have characterised it as EXTREMELY MILD. So if it displaces more dangerous variants then this could be brilliant news. Omicron hasn't killed a single person. In fact, while it's been picked up via routine testing of people hospitalised for other reasons, it may not even have put a single person in hospital. So, this variant might even REDUCE hospitalisations and deaths. It also has the potential to SAFELY confer PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people, which could spell the end of this pandemic!

The Royal Navy would be patrolling the Channel, and forcing boats back to France, so that hardly any make it to our shores. 2. Those illegals that are already here would be housed in tents, on some of our many thousands of islands, rather than in hotels: the French keep them in tents.

  17809. Agreed. The only problem is that Putin is an insane psychopath suffering from rapidly advancing Parkinson's disease. In other words he has little to lose himself and doesn't value anyone else's life: even Russian lives. For the sake of Russia he really needs to be "removed" from power ASAP.

So only a complete snowflake is going to bother to voluntarily get a test. Therefore the real infection rate may well be a fair bit higher than currently reported, which means the corresponding IFR will be a fair bit lower.

  17817. All those snowflakes who clapped for the NHS, and now want to sack those who worked so hard, might like to note the recent ONS response to a freedom of information request. Over the last 2 years just 17,500 people with no underlying health issues have died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. Hardly anyone actually NEEDED these poorly tested vaccines! Until we burned the book, medical ethics dictated that ANY medical treatment must provide a significant benefit to the patient: it can't just be for the benefit of others.
    1
  17818. If Xi wasn't a maniac he would recognise that political boundaries change and new countries appear. Well under 100 years ago countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan didn't exist. Does this mean that they have no right to independence? Taiwan is separated from China by about 100 miles of ocean. Its population of 23 million is larger than that of many countries, and it has been self-determining for over 70 years. For most of us that makes it an INDEPENDENT country. It has shown zero hostile intent toward China, and should be left in peace. Xi's "One China" comment is just like Putin's "historic Russia" comment, or Hitler's justification of the Sudetenland invasion and Anschluss.
    1
  17819. Attack is the best form of defence! Take out the bases in Russia. If this is too hard then go all out to inflict the same kid of damage in Russia. Thousands of miles of undefended gas and oil pipelines haven't been touched. Not a single Russian power station or dam has been damaged. Act like a victim and you will get hammered time and time again.

  17821. Not could, WILL! Putin may be a deranged psychopath, but he knows that nothing gets done in the West unless politicians get a real good kick up the backside. So rather than cut off the gas now, in the summer, when it doesn't matter nearly as much, he will encourage our politicians to carry on doing nothing. Germany should have already been working for many months on restarting it's nuclear power stations. However, as happened 12 to 13 years ago winters in places like Berlin can be vicious. "Winter is coming", and the Night King Putin will then grab our politicians by the balls and give them a good twist.
    1
  17822. By TTK's standards a large majority of the country is far-right. How dare we want to see British values and traditions upheld. How dare we want to see our borders protected against people entering the country illegally, and to have foreign criminals deported.

  17828. When one actually works out RATES of infection India isn't doing any worse than most countries, including the UK, when they were at their peak. So what surprises me is that nobody is asking whether a major part of the current crisis might be due to the Indian government providing grossly deficient health care provision for the size of it's population. If people were asking this then in the longer term some good might ultimately come out of this. Why has India spent money on nuclear weapons and launching rockets, rather than looking after its people? Asking these questions now is a good way to focus people's attention on them, so that the Indian government can be forced to change its ways.

  17832. Would Putin's own generals allow him to use nukes? So far their families and loved ones have been unscathed by Putin's madness. But allowing the maniac to use nuclear weapons might well result in their annihilation, or at the very least a Russia not worth living in.

  17833. Well, most UK schools have been screwing up kids' education for decades, so why not up the game and screw them even more.
    1
  17834. Absolutely right. You can't negotiate with murderers. But the more brutal truth is that bleating sheep can't negotiate, full stop. Dictators don't freely relinquish power. Since this started over 300 sheep have been slaughtered, but not a single cleric or Revolutionary Guard has died, so why are things going to change? If Iranians want freedom then they are going to have to FIGHT for it! It really is that simple.
    1
  17835. Well, this is exactly what people like me, who aren't scaremongers, were predicting when vaccination started. That's because we understand the science. As for the morons in Downing Street, this is much more than they expected. If they were genuinely listening to the science and the data, they would now speed up the removal of the very damaging lockdown. They would also stop abusing kids, by sticking swabs in their throats and noses, three time a week.
    1
  17836. If this is true then it shows what depths Putin has sunk to, and that he has as little regard for Russian lives, as he has for those of Ukrainians. I wonder what kind of parent lets their child be taken away to (with a high probability) die.

  17837. Only a complete moron would care whether a diamond was dug out of the earth or created in a lab. Well done India! I hope you succeed in putting a massive dent in greedy De Beers profits, that are made by withholding large quantities of diamonds and drip feeding them into the market.

  17838. Exactly! They were launched near Moscow by Putin's own FSB goons. Putin has a good solid record of false flag attacks on his own people, in order to frighten them into supporting him: and he really doesn't care if he kills a few.

  17840. By whatever means, the drone factories in Iran need to be destroyed. We should also remember that while Russia might get the munitions, it can't simply buy in soldiers. It's probably run out of prisoners to feed to the meat grinder, and Russians will be much less supportive of Putin if he sends lots more of their sons, brothers and husbands off to die.

    1
  17844. One of the worst current narrow views is how the media assiduously avoids mentioning the role of memory B and T cells, which can now be tested for, in maintaining excellent long term natural immunity against covid-19, in those who have recovered from it. Of course, this is exactly what the Downing Street dictators want, as they are determined to vaccinate people whether they need the vaccine or not.
    1
  17845. As long as someone has at sometime paid income tax in this country, for at least a few years, then they have contributed and deserve a say. But anyone who hasn't, even if they are British, should not be given a vote, as they have only ever been a burden on this country.
    1
  17846. Kwasi Kwarteng is absolutely correct. Like other young people, almost all young Indians will shrug off covid-19, often without even knowing they have had it. The only intelligent thing to do is to focus on the older people who are likely to come into contact with them. In fact, all of those who are at risk will have been offered the vaccine. If, like me, they chose not to take it up and fall ill then it's there own bloody fault, and nobody should feel sorry for them.
    1
  17847. The future of Putin, and his Kremlin cronies, is contingent on him being able to convince Russians that he can win in Ukraine. Anything that makes this seem less likely is going to terrify this cowardly little psychopath.
    1
  17848. Exactly!
    1
  17849. Rather than be scared by raw numbers, let's put this into perspective, with regard to population size. India's population is about 20 times that of the UK. So this is the equivalent of when the UK was recording 20,000 cases a day. One should do a similar calculation with deaths. It's RATES per million population that matter. When you look at these you soon realise that even if India is massively under reporting it is still doing much better than many other countries including the UK.

  17858. If you aren't one of those schmucks who swallowed all the scaremongering then this is absolutely hilarious. Those of us with even a modicum of intelligence knew that covid-19 was never a big deal. It only killed between 1 in 1000 to 1 in 300 of those that got infected, and they were mainly very old and/or very sick. Yet many millions were suckered by a deluge of propaganda that it is now patently clear those spreading it did not themselves believe.

  17865. ​ @raybloodwyn950  In truth, with an IFR of just 0.3%, brilliant natural immunity in those who have had Covid, and Covid posing a threat overwhelmingly to the very old and/or very sick, there was never really an emergency.

  17871. Yes we have one of very many variants, and yes some of the proteins on its spikes have changed. BUT there is absolutely NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that it is more infectious. This is PURE CONJECTURE. It goes something like this. We have recently seen a big rise in infections and more people have this variant. This is definitely NOT proof. There might be some (weak) correlation. But, as any bright high school maths student will quickly tell you, even strong correlation does not always imply cause. I, and I'm sure so many others are too, am sick of pseudo scientists jumping to conclusions that are simply not justified. And then recommending measures, that based on this, have a seriously negative impact on people's lives.

  17872. Not half as disappointing as OAPs' pension rise, which is now well below the rate of inflation, because Sunak has CHEATED some of society's poorest out of their "triple lock". I wonder how many people realise that the British state pension is one of the meanest in the word!

  17882. Don't forget we are talking about a charity grifter, who changed her name to sound as if she is from Africa when she isn't. No wonder she didn't want to give Lady Hussey a straight answer. I bet this race card player has never done a proper day's work in her life.

Who would have dreamt that the Australian police force, who are meant to serve the people, would turn out to be a bunch of Nazi Gestapo, who Hitler would have been really proud of? If I recall they even went after some Jews celebrating Yom Kippur. As somebody else remarked, Australia has returned to its roots and become a penal colony once more.

  17888. Just two simple actions, both much cheaper than what the government has been doing for years, would have resolved this a long time ago. 1. Those small boats should have been towed back to the edge of French territorial waters, but much further south, so that they had no choice but to head to France. 2. As suggested years ago by "human rights" lawyer Tony Blair, those illegals in the UK should be held on remote, bleak Scottish islands: not in expensive hotels, that most of us can't afford to stay in. Both these actions would be a strong deterrent. Unfortunately you are more likely to find some backbone in a slime mold than in Sunak.

  17889. What people need to know is that the CDC is a now totally discredited organisation.

  17890. I'm struggling to decide whether this is just a complete lie, or whether these politicians are really too stupid to understand that ALL power stations need same amount of water to drive steam turbines.

  17903. Complaining about the terms of Brexit is merely a convenient excuse for the incredibly bigoted DUP. In a fair vote they were beaten by Sinn Fein when the latter received most of the Stormont seats, by the will of the majority in Northern Ireland. But the DUP is prepared to abide by the democratic process, which is the real reason that they are boycotting Stormont. Westminster needs to legislate to allow Stormont to run as long as a quorum of about one third MPs turn up. Then the DUP could stay away and just lose their vote.

  17904. After the Nuremberg trials one might hope that soldiers would think twice before carrying out such atrocities. These scenes are like watching an X-rated Nazi war film.

  17905. If our dumb-ass government wasn't heel bent of stopping the spread of what South African doctors have characterised as an EXTREMELY MILD variant then it could well quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions.

  17912. I'm sick of people saying don't humiliate the psycho, because that's EXACTLY what we need to do. We need to heap as much humiliation as possible on Putin, and make it as public as possible.

  17945. The comment about decisions being made by desk warriors in Whitehall is bang on. The answer as to why "they never seem to finish the job" is because of bleeding heart liberals whose bravest moments are changing lanes on the motorway. Our and all the US and NATO soldiers were forced to fight with their hands tied. The Taliban are rabid animals. The Geneva Convention should have been torn up and any means necessary used to obliterate this cancer in Afghanistan, including exterminating any that took refuge in Pakistan.

  17946. ​ @andrezcabara2774  For around 99% of people Covid posed a NEGLIGIBLE risk.

  17951. Yes, we have a variant, which is one of very many. Yes, its spike proteins have changed a bit, which has also happened numerous times before. Did all these previous occurrences lead to the end of human life? No, and neither will this one. There is NO CONCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that the recent increase in infections is a direct result of this variant! Any high school maths student will tell you that correlation does not guarantee cause. But this provided Blow Job and his toady Hancock with a novel excuse for reneging on his promise to get out of people's faces for Christmas. These pathetic excuses for men are afraid of their own shadows, and have done incredible damage to this country. All those young people, on the news last night, who have been put out of work and are now on the street are down to Blow Job and Hancock. The virus didn't do this to them; it's a direct result of the panicked and insane lockdowns and restrictions, WHICH DON'T WORK.

  17952. Russia will never be allowed to take Ukraine, and is getting weaker with every passing day. How long before Georgians wise up, "remove" Moscow's puppet government, and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen? How long before parts of the Russia Federation seize the opportunity to cede from it? Siberia is rich in natural resources. Maybe its people will ask themselves what they get by letting Moscow plunder them, and send their sons off to die in Ukraine.
    1
  17953. I do wonder why Chechnya and Georgia, which had 20% of its territory stolen, and other regions, haven't taken this golden opportunity to strike back against Russia. There's never been a better time, as Putin is too stretched to fight back. In fact, acting now might well put an end to both Putin and the Russian federation!

We have women going way beyond what even the Taliban expect them to wear, and Afghan men with jelly instead of a backbone.

What amazes me is that while there is so much fuss over this people were prepared to see their liberty stolen from them, their businesses destroyed, and the education and mental health of their kids buggered to hell, with barely a murmur. They also happily accepted our police acting like the Gestapo. And all for a virus that was less bad than a cold for most people. Yet they are going crazy about a few polluting cars.

  17963. Take a look at those in hospital and you will find that almost every single one has some underlying health problem, is old, or most likely both. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to about 99% of people. Stop believing the tyrants who want you to roll over and surrender your freedom and basic human rights.

  17964. "kill one in three people" Excuse me while I go and put some socks on, so I can laugh them off. If this doesn't convince most people that SAGE really isn't fit for purpose I don't know what will. Unfortunately millions of the feeble-minded will believe such complete and utter nonsense. If you want a doomsday scenario to worry about a VASTLY MORE LIKELY one is that some religious lunatic will deliberately get themselves infected with something like Ebola and then go on a whistle-stop tour of the busiest Western subways. There's an old saying that "cowards never really live at all". And the Gurkha motto: "better to die than live as a coward".

  17967. The trouble is that governments have indemnified all vaccine producers against prosecution. Of course, what's far worse is that, despite the worries so many now have over covid-19 vaccines, governments are going to use vaccine passports to coerce people into being vaccinated. I've already met people who have said that they only took the vaccine because they are worried that they wouldn't be allowed to travel without it. My own sister, who recovered from covid-19, and was therefore immune, had to take the vaccine to get work. Come back Dr. Mengele, all is forgiven.
    1
  17968. Wrong! Those supporting Putin may be deterred, but nothing will deter him. With over half a million soldiers either killed or wounded, billions worth of military equipment destroyed, and the Russian economy badly hurt, Putin has to show a significant victory if he wishes to remain in power. And if he doesn't remain in power there is a high probability it will cost him his life.

Unlike the rushed vaccines, which are forced on people who don't need them, these drugs will at least be used where they might do a lot of good.

  17991. Here are a few FACTS that aren't disinformation. Worldwide there have been literally only a handful of confirmed reinfections, and most have been in immunocompromised people. This is truly overwhelming evidence for natural long term immunity in those who have recovered from covid-19, including asymptomatic cases. These people do not need vaccination, and it goes against medical ethics to administer unnecessary treatment to people. By its very definition we cannot know that there will be no unforeseen long term side effects from these vaccines. The danger due to thalidomide didn't become apparent until after several years. We also do not know whether natural immunity is more effective against this virus than that provided by the vaccines. In particular this applies to both the length of immunity and resistance to new variants. As these vaccines only target one specific antigen, whereas our own immune system may well target several, the latter may well prove far more effective. If this is the case then the ethically correct thing to do is let young people, who are at exceedingly low risk from covid-19, contract the virus so that they are far better protected in the future.

"People have died from Omicron" I've heard that people have died WITH Omicron, after being admitted to hospital with something else, but I don't think there is a single proven case, throughout the world, of anyone dying from it.

  18009. 25% of the entire working age population isn't working, and isn't even looking for work! How much money would be saved if Labour went after the ones who shouldn't be receiving benefits? Not only would this be fairer, it might well bring in more money than anything else they have done.

  18011. In case anyone outside the UK doesn't yet know, Boris Johnson is infamous as a liar and a cheat. Nobody with even a modicum of intelligence believes a word he says, and any promises and agreements he makes are absolutely worthless. Of course withdrawal is popular. Why on earth would Americans want to see their soldiers die for a people who mainly don't hold their values, and aren't prepared to fight for themselves?

  18012. Biden says the variant is a cause for concern. Would that be a Professor Biden with a Ph.D. in virology? Didn't think so. My God, what we call "leaders". They are more like silly frightened children! Detecting a variant is rather like spotting an iceberg. You only see the tiny tip. This variant has ALREADY spread all around the world. So panicked travel bans only do harm, without helping in the slightest. And what's even more pathetic is that the symptoms of this Fluffy Kitten variant (let's give it an appropriate name) are EXTREMELY MILD. In fact it's an excellent way of safely giving people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. If I were religious then I'd consider it as God's Christmas present to the world

  18013. Ukraine can expect some desperate, and rash, attempts by Russian generals in the next few days; hopefully they will be able to take advantage of them.

There will be a margin of uncertainty in this so it could be even lower, and maybe not even that statistically significant. This seems to me like more scaremongering. Before long they will be telling women that covid-19 makes your bum look bigger.

With a virus that kills well under 1%, and excellent natural immunity for those who recover, following the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration seems the obvious thing to do. But no. Let's repeat what didn't work before, and has in fact failed everywhere and every time. We are soon going to be hearing of Swedes injuring or killing themselves due to excessive laughing at the rest of the world.

  18036. To be fair Starmer has inherited this from the Tories. But it is definitely a massive problem that is seriously damaging our economy, and urgently needs fixing. 9.4 million is 25% of those of working age. It's incomprehensible that most people can believe that so many are unable to work. Even 5% would be stretching credibility, with a figure much closer to 2.5% being nearer to the percentage of those genuinely unable to work. We are witnessing benefit fraud on a mind boggling scale, and it is costing the country tens of billions of pounds every year. This is where the true savings are to be made, not by cutting pensioners' winter fuel allowance.

  18039. Good riddance to bad rubbish. These bloody scaremongers are far worse than covid-19. The comment about no herd immunity is WRONG. In regard to vaccine generated immunity this may be correct, but NATURAL immunity does seem to lead to herd immunity. This seems to be born out in several places. One example is the Amish communities in the USA. However, it's nice to hear someone telling the truth about lockdowns just kicking the covid-19 can down the street a bit. The bottom line is that, right from the start, the government should have followed the advice, subsequently published, in the Great Barrington Declaration. Denial of truth doesn't make it go away.

  18043. Because he was allowed to take Crimea, Putin had good reason to think that taking the rest of Ukraine would be a walk in the park. He is still hoping that fear and disunity in the West will save the day for him, and why not. The cowardly Germans have been appalling in the way they have seriously delayed or withheld much needed weapons to Ukraine: and they continue to do so. Other countries too have not been pulling their weight. This is why Putin only threatens to nuke the UK, because despite our many faults we have been one of Ukraine's staunchest and most steadfast allies. One of the few things we can be very proud of.

This is a virus that kills well under 1% who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. If you want to impose house arrest on anyone it should be just these people. Most people will shrug off covid-19 more easily than a bad cold, and then have excellent natural immunity, which may well last a lifetime. They have done nothing wrong to deserve be imprisoned in their homes.

This was painfully evident during his debate with Trump, and yet the Democrats still won't replace him. It looks like they are going out of their way to make sure Trump wins. Biden may well be a much more decent and honest person than Trump, but he simply isn't up to being president, and almost everyone knows this.

  18081. Most of the covid-19 deaths have been people dying of something else. Have we heard about any deaths this winter caused by colds or flu? No, because they are all being wrongly, and deliberately, chalked up to covid-19. This nonsense and panicking has now been going on for nearly two years. How much longer are people going to put up with it? It's time to stop pandering to the cowards and accept that covid-19 is here to stay, and is going to keep mutating. Man up, and suck it up!

  18082. This stupid old codger needs to get up to date. In regard to transmission it's looking more and more likely that the efficacy of these vaccines wanes after a few months. As far as protecting ourselves it's not going to make much difference what we do with these vaccines. It's time for lying cheating politicians to admit that they got it badly wrong by not following the Great Barrington Declaration. Very large and respected studies now clearly show that natural immunity is vastly superior to vaccination, and may last a lifetime. Ultimately it's this, and not the rushed through vaccines that will get us out of the pandemic. All the tyrannical meddling that politicians do only make things far worse.
    1
  18083. Three jabs and you can still be infected. Yet mainstream media has refused to report that a few days ago even the CDC, very reluctantly, was forced by the science to admit that natural immunity is VASTLY BETTER, and that there is no benefit in vaccinating those who have it.

Which of those mentioned in the first question more deserves to go to jail? In Russia courts do Putin's bidding, rather than administering justice. Our UK courts now seem to bear an uncanny resemblance, but with TTK telling them how to act.

  18093. "Recovered from covid" At last some honesty! The scum in Downing Street have repeatedly lied about the fact that people who have had covid-19, even asymptomatically, do have long term immunity. This is now very well established, beyond any doubt, by lots of independent researchers. In fact this immunity may well be better than that afforded by vaccines. Yet our gangster government wants to vaccinate everybody, even though those already immune seem to suffer by far the worst side effects. What we now need is a test for immunity, so that people aren't vaccinated, and made to suffer, unnecessarily. I expect a micro dose of the killed virus would probably do the trick, by eliciting the production of antibodies that could be tested for, or maybe producing a VERY SMALL inflammation at the test site.

  18094. Excellent! Once we give in to blackmail about nuclear weapons Russia will use it again and again, and China will use it too. I'm sure Parkinson's Putin wouldn't hesitate to go nuclear, but I suspect those with families and children will "remove" him from power rather than see every major Russian city obliterated in retaliation.

  18095. Based on the risk this virus poses to young people, medical ethics clearly dictate that they should not be vaccinated. But, given that Downing Street has burnt the book on medical ethics, bribing young people is infinitely preferable to coercing them. At least, this way, they still have a choice,

  18096. Why do people keep insisting that the government listened to the experts. They didn't! They listened to their own appointed incontinent poodles. The REAL experts were an international team that included the likes of Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University. They very clearly stated that lockdowns would be ineffective and cause incredible damage. Instead they recommended just isolating the most vulnerable until herd immunity developed. For a virus that didn't pose a threat to 99% of the population, and then gave excellent natural immunity, this was EXACTLY the right advice. The government wantonly ignored this advice, the media suppressed it, and is still trying to keep it buried.

  18097. Let me see. Have a ceasefire that gives Russia time to regroup and consolidate its forces. Doesn't seem too bight to me. Territorial concessions? Well Russia got the Crimea a few years ago.

  18111. What about cowardly Starmer? Because of the strong Tory backbench opposition, if Starmer hadn't staunchly supported No.10's completely unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions they could never have happened.

  18113. Well Patrick, right at the start the REAL EXPERTS told the government that lockdowns and similar restrictions would not work, but simply cause an insane amount of damage and suffering. They subsequently published the same advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was signed by tens of thousands of doctors and scientists. The advice was, and still is, that you focus just on the most vulnerable, isolating them (now maybe vaccinating them), until natural herd immunity develops. Countless failed lockdowns, and proven excellent natural immunity have shown that this advice was spot on. With the highly transmissible, but EXTREMELY MILD Omicron variant we have a heaven sent chance to SAFELY achieve natural herd immunity. But rather than embrace it and admit their mistakes Downing Street want to wreck more businesses, and see more people die.

  18128. By far the biggest of the causes are the lockdowns, which the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, advised against right from the start. As for the Bank of England and interest rates, its behaviour on this makes me question its independence: they seem unwilling to upset the government. There should have been AT LEAST 0.5% interest rate rises, not pathetic piddling 0.25% rises. It's like giving at patient a quarter of the dose of a medicine, because the taste is unpleasant, and wondering why he isn't recovering.

Strange how after nearly 2 years my natural immunity is still going strong.

  18130. So true. Finding honour and decency anywhere in the cabinet would be like poking a steaming turd with a stick, in the hope of finding a bit that doesn't stink!

  18131. This kind of thing happens from massive governments down to relatively small businesses. When the man at the top is decent he always tries to give everyone a fair chance. However, inevitably, there is often a psychopath waiting in the wings to take advantage of this decency, and plenty of brown-nosers who will support him as he starts to climb to power.

  18134. In the local and Mayoral elections I voted Reform UK, and will do so again on 4th July. Unfortunately most voters are so stupid and cowardly that they will continue voting Labour or Conservative until the day they die. Voting Labour or Conservative is like a coward choosing whether he would prefer to have red hot splints stuck under his fingernails or toenails!

  18136. The vast majority of the public ARE fools. The ONS has just released figures showing that only 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19, and that most of them were over 65. Yet the schmucks have been wetting themselves over the 150,000 that the government want them to believe. Then there is natural immunity. First we had the Cleveland study, then the Israeli study, and a few days ago the CDC study. All say how vastly better natural immunity is, but most idiots still have unshakeable faith in vaccination.

  18148. What's forgotten in these 9th May parades, is that the Germans gave Russia a damn good kicking, which they could not have withstood without the help of America, Britain, and their allies. Now, thanks to a few old psychopaths, all around 70, Russia is simultaneously despised and laughed at, as well as suffering severe economic problems. Come this 9th May Putin will have killed many more Russians than were lost in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign. That's not much of a victory parade.

  18149. It's just a great pity that the most corrupt commissioner the Met has ever had didn't feel intimidated earlier.

  18154. Very well put. The UK desperately needs this kind of adult and democratic thinking. Also, isn't it funny how those who want to force masks on others never reference the serious study that Denmark undertook in regard to them. Its conclusion was that there was no convincing evidence to prove or disprove their effectiveness. For a lot of people wearing a mask is like a superstitious medieval peasant putting a horseshoe on the door to protect against witches.

  18165. The one thing that certainly isn't being over-diagnosed is indulgent parenting. These days it seems to be the rule that a good majority of parents make excuses to excuse their children's bad behaviour and laziness.

What Biden neglects to mention is that Ukraine would have got more funding if he had been prepared to give the Republicans the funding NEEDED to defend US borders against a tsunami of illegal immigrants.

One of the most infamous Russian atrocities of WW II was the cold-blooded butchery of 22,000 Polish officers who were their POWs: there were, of course, lots of similar incidents. Russia hasn't changed one iota since then.

Under the covid regulations they were very heavy handed with a peaceful women's vigil, but it seems that if you are a Muslim fanatic then you have more rights than everybody else. A few weeks earlier the police also failed to break up an intimidating mob of Muslims outside a Bradford school. There are good decent Muslims, but the police need to come down very heavily on the mad dog fanatics: there is no place for them in the UK, or any other civilised country.

Ultimately the only acceptable solution is going to be the forcible removal of all the dictator clerics and their henchmen.

  18205. "Turning off the news" is rich coming from the BBC! How many stories about anti-lockdown demos, some of which were really large and significant in their effect, have they not reported, because the Downing Street dictators didn't want them to? Much more than a handful, I can assure you. How many solid scientific research stories have they failed to report, because they would have made people a lot less scared about this virus, and much less inclined to "follow the rules". The BBC has a hell of a lot to do to put its own house in order before it points the finger at other media.

  18207. Just seen an article saying the Chinese have built a much safer Thorium based reactor. This now makes using nuclear power a no-brainer. Or better put, anyone against this form of nuclear power has no brain. Apparently this could have happen decades ago, but scumbag governments didn't want to build these kind of reactors because they didn't produce byproducts that could be used to fabricate the nuclear weapons that can wipe out humanity. Nice to know what motivates the decisions our governments make!

  18210.  @sentinel-y8l  Or, perhaps, NATO doesn't want to give Putin anything that he could sell to his generals, and the Russian people, as a pretext for extending his attack to other countries. Ukraine is making Putin look very bad, which might just get him removed. The last thing we want is a vastly expanded theatre of conflict that would distract from this and maybe lead to WW III. How many people would then die?

  18214. We should do what Australia does, or at least used to. We have hundreds, if not thousands, of uninhabited islands. We give the French £500 million a year to do nothing except laugh at us. A recent report said we spend around £45,000 per illegal per year keeping them in luxury hotels. For that money we could set up holding camps on some islands, AND that would be a massive deterrent.
    1
  18215. The thing is that an awful lot of those that have gone to the meat grinder were hardened criminals from Russia's jails. Most of what Putin has done is fairly insane, but this was pretty shrewd. Let's be honest. Most of us would welcome being able to empty our packed prisons of their violent inmates by using them as cannon fodder.

  18221. Just how often do people like me have to say it? USE A SCOTTISH ISLAND!!! There are lots of bleak, cold, wet, remote Scottish islands that are sparsely inhabited, and some not inhabited at all. It would be vastly cheaper to set up tents or nissen huts on some of these islands rather than the crazy Rwanda, barge, and Ascension Island schemes. If ILLEGALS were sent to somewhere like this the moment they set foot on British soil then that would be a real deterrent.

  18223. Despite treaties against it, those of us who aren't gullible schmucks suspect that there are lots of countries carrying out highly illegal bioweapons research. The temptation of having something that can just wipe out the enemy without damaging any infrastructure is too great to resist. With this type of weapon, by the time the enemy realises what's happened it's too late: and they may not even know who to retaliate against. If this did escape from a lab in China all it really shows is that China's containment facilities are worse, or that someone was sloppy.

  18235. In all this terrible suffering and carnage, has anyone thought to ask those in the Russian speaking areas of Ukraine (and Moldovia) what they want. If they want independence, or to be part of Russia, surely the democratic thing, for a democratic country, to do is accede to this desire. Scotland got a choice about whether to remain part of the UK, and I'm sure, should they want it, Wales and Northern Ireland would get a similar choice. We seem to be applying double standards. Does all this death and destruction, to force people to be part of a country they don't want to belong to make any sense?

  18249. Between this and the dire state of its economy, due to the insane zero-covid policy, one would have thought that China has more than enough to worry about, and fix, before worrying about Taiwan. Or maybe that's the problem. Xi is losing face because Taiwan is doing so much better than China.
    1
  18250. Wrong! We want to go for maximum humiliation, as this encourages Russians to take the easiest way out. That is, "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men", blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine.

  18251. Isn't it funny how this "body" so closely resembles Thor from the Stargate TV series? Someone is well and truly taking the p*ss.

  18252. So the bottom line is that in effect one cannot really make any criticism of the vaccines or point out how vastly better natural immunity is. Even if a doctor or specialist does this, citing respected research, then some chinless wonder will ban them. I suppose pointing out how sars-cov-2 has never posed any threat to over 99% of the population doesn't go down well either.
    1
  18253. Since victory in Ukraine is now existential for Putin there is no way this could lengthen the war, since his "removal" from power has been a prerequisite for peace for quite some time.

  18254. We have now seen thousands of lockdowns worldwide. Many have been extremely repressive and often repeated, but the one thing they all have in common is that NONE OF THEM HAVE WORKED! At the cost of an insane amount of damage, they just kick the covid-19 can down the street a bit. So we do indeed have a cock up, in fact we have one of the biggest cock ups in human history. But if the REAL experts had been listened to then sars-cov-2 would now be but a footnote in history. This is a virus that kills about 1 in 1000, and bestows brilliant immunity on the vast majority that survive. If just the most vulnerable had been locked down then NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY would have quickly developed. This is not mere conjecture. Take a good look at Sweden. It has never had a lockdown or tried coerced vaccination. Yet, by deaths per million, it doesn't even make the top 50 countries, unlike the UK and most EU countries. It also has a really low infection rate.
    1
  18255. In the event that a peace is negotiated those 32 countries need to put peacekeepers into Ukraine. The ONLY reason Putin can object to it is because he fully intends to attack again at a later date.

On the hair cutting I fail to see the logic. If that poor woman who was murdered by the so-called "morality police" had had short hair then it wouldn't have stuck out of her hijab. So it seems to me that cutting hair is exactly what these rabid animals would approve of.

  18265. Before wagging a finger at Brazil people need to remember that it still has a lower death rate than many countries in the world, including the UK. Bolsonaro is right! There are many millions of Brazilians who will be thanking him profusely for not screwing up their jobs and kids education and mental health with the insane lockdowns that have plagued so many countries. The basic fact still remains that this virus only kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old. Why should the other 999 in 1000 be sacrificed for them? These people should be self-isolating carefully to protect themselves, not expecting everyone else to have their lives wrecked.

Look at all the poor people who come over here speaking hardly any English, and with little more than the shirt on their back. So often their children flourish in our schools, because their parents value education very highly, and support them. There is a hell of a lot badly wrong with UK schools, but in this instance it's rubbish parents, who shouldn't have kids, who are to blame.

A bad cold causes most people far more suffering than covid-19. Covid-19 has been a godsend to every parasite in the country who resents giving the service they are paid to give. Bad companies have also made massive use of this excuse.

  18286. If you have had covid-19 then you are now immune. So you definitely don't (no ifs, no buts, no maybes) need a mask or to do any social distancing. Boris Johnson wearing a mask is being a complete and utter wanker as he can neither get infected or infect anybody else. But then, apart from one obscure minister, all of these retards are completely scientifically illiterate.
    1
  18287. @Stanno Max He should be encouraging people not to be unnecessarily frightened. That includes acting in a truthful manner that clearly indicates that they don't have to be afraid of catching covid-19 twice. But the truth is that Boris wants people to be afraid. Contrast this with Trump, who is genuinely doing his best to assuage people's fears. He made a very deliberate and public display of removing his mask and saying he might now be immune. Whatever else one might think of him, in this he acted far more honorably than Blow Job.

  18293. You might not say the WHO are wrong in any way, but I'm more than happy to call them a bunch of self-serving, incompetent, fools. It's very well established that natural immunity, after contracting Covid, is vastly better than vaccination, and much longer lasting: maybe for life. A decent organisation would admit this, and accept that most people should not be vaccinated. Trump did a lot of bad things, but one thing he got very right was defunding the WHO!
    1
  18294. A dead cat doesn't stink as much. We have a variant that South African doctors have characterised as EXTREMELY MILD. So if we didn't need masks for more vicious variants, why do we need them for this one? The logic escapes me, but then does anyone expect logic from a bunch of morons with classics and PPE degrees.

  18303. Starmer, there IS denying that these measures are necessary! The Swedes are doing very well indeed without them. This virus only has an IFR of less than 0.3%. So of those who get infected less than 1 in 300 die, and if you exclude the very elderly and very sick then the IFR plummets. Now let's play a bit with that 0.3%. If 45,000 have already died then this would mean that about 15 million have already been infected, and ARE NOW IMMUNE. Next let's look at the prediction of another 85,000 dying. That equates to 28 million NEW infections. Does this seem credible? But even if it were then we would have 43 million people who were then immune. That's 65% of the population. We would be very close to reaching herd immunity without any dodgy vaccine, that may never come, and that many won't take. Finally, let's get a bit of perspective. 45000 + 85000 = 130,000 deaths. To the innumerate and over emotional this is a scary figure. BUT, 600,000 die in the UK every year, and a lot of those 130,000 ( more than half) would have been in that 600,000. So over the entire year we would be seeing an increase in annual deaths (almost entirely among the very old and/or very sick) of less than 11%. Does this really justify butt raping the economy and destroying millions of jobs and futures?

  18305. So sad to see this. What a pathetic excuse for a man Blow Job is. The whole point of making a promise is that one keeps it, even (or especially) when things subsequently don't go the way you want them to. This complete piece of shit has proven time and again that his word, and that of those in his cabinet, simply cannot be trusted. How can such a lying, cheating scumbag be allowed to be this country's PM? Let's remind ourselves about some key facts. Firstly, if you are under 70 then ordinary influenza is more deadly to you than covid-19. In fact, massively so if you are much younger than this. Secondly we still have a VERY LARGE Nightingale hospital lying empty in London, so there's lots of capacity. I hope most people ignore these tyrannous rules. The police have neither the resources, NOR THE SLIGHTEST INCLINATION, to be turned into the Christmas Gestapo. It's time to stand up to this complete wimp of a dictator!

I struggle to express the level of disgust and contempt I feel for Starmer, and hope he will never become PM.

At an absolute minimum we are talking about a round trip of over 8 years, with two accelerations to close to the speed of light, and two decelerations. Also, at this speed collision with even a tiny spec of dust could do a lot of damage. Sorry folks but warp drive and deflector shields are strictly for the Star Trek movies.

  18311. There are 9.4 million people of working age not working. That's a quarter of the working age population.

What I can also understand is that this country's economy is in dire straits: probably far worse than most people realise. Yet this imbecilic government want's to throw our hard earned taxes away, on something it has absolutely no mandate for.
    1
  18313. If we didn't have shit-for-brains politicians they would focus on proof of immunity, rather than what vaccine a person has had. What we need is accredited tests for antibodies or, for those vaccinated or infected sometime ago, tests for the like of memory B and T cells. All this is now readily available. It is the scientific approach and covers immunity from all angles.

Hitting the old, and the genuinely sick, instead of going after benefit fraudsters that cost the country vastly more money.

In fact Sweden now has a very low infection rate.

I wouldn't hesitate to kick Turkey out of NATO, in favour of Sweden and Finland. I suspect that Hungary would then fall into line, as it probably knows that being ejected from NATO, and maybe the EU too, wouldn't be in its best interests.

  18326. The SHORT TERM side effects are very, very small. The truth is we simply don't (and can't) know if there might me any unforeseen long term side effects: that's what unforeseen means. With this in mind we should definitely not be vaccinating those who have recovered from covid-19. Plenty of reputable research has now established that such people have excellent natural long term immunity. They gain nothing from being vaccinated: it just puts them at risk- no matter how slight. This immunity can be easily tested for. For those who recently had covid-19, antibodies can be tested for. For those who had it sometime ago, the likes of memory B and T cells can now be tested for. Vaccinating such people is simply unethical and inexcusable. On the matter of being brave. Sky News UK could follow the example of it's sister channel in Australia. The UK channel only broadcasts stuff that supports Downing Street, and suppresses anything that might offend them or make things difficult for them.

  18327. LMAO. Didn't I say this was going to happen. A whole 33 cases, and it's unlikely that a single one of them will even end up in hospital, let alone die. Talk of over reacting.

  18328. Yep, it's going to be like a Nazi occupied country, with the Gestapo going into restaurants and cafes demanding to see peoples papers. People need to fight back.

An approximate analogy would be expecting the kind of wire fence one sees around park tennis courts to stop a gnat getting through.

  18343. Most people ARE mugs for getting all worked up over a virus that has a low IFR of only 0.3%: and to be a lucky winner you typically need to be very old and/or very sick. Does it make any sense to bugger up the lives of over 99% of the population for less than 1%? But the British sheep just bleated in fear as they swallowed this government's scaremongering and insane restrictions.
    1
  18344. "Optimistic", really? We are nightly shown the numbers in hospital, which are dropping fast. However, this lags behind the hospitalisation RATE, which we are deliberately not shown because it is by far the most important metric, and it is PLUMMETING. This is the evidence, staring our cowardly government in the face! The R number and number of infections NO LONGER MATTER, because with over 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated very few of these infections will now lead to hospitlisations. They will be shrugged off with less ado than a bad cold. It's time to end ALL this dictatorial Chicken Little panic.
    1
  18345. Even lots of animals put themselves in danger to protect their young! Covid only ever really posed a threat to some of those who were very old and/or very sick. So many sick societies put the welfare of those who had lived a very long life over that of their children.

If this were a genuine inquiry they would be calling INDEPENDENT witnesses, rather than government and their cronies, who are just interested in covering up their terrible mistakes.

Once again Downing Street and their lapdog "scientists" have been caught lying through their teeth. As for too flexible rules, did it ever occur to people like you that lockdowns simply don't work? When you were in secondary school do you recall the bit about science being evidence based? Well, what does 3 lockdowns in this country, and many even more repressive ones in other countries, all of which have failed abysmally, tell you about their effectiveness? Proper scientists acknowledge the facts, even when they aren't what we want them to be. Because denial, or wishful thinking, doesn't change them!

  18391. I have taught A-level maths, further maths, physics, and chemistry for many years. I can tell you unequivocally that in all these subjects there are some topics that are vastly harder than others. What is, without the slightest doubt, now going to happen is that the vast majority of teachers are going to avoid teaching and accessing these topics. And who can blame them? They know that this is going to happen in other schools, and don't want to disadvantage their students. So once again we are going to see massive grade inflation, and another year of totally discredited results. Of course, there will be a few teachers who try to make their assessments as close to A-levels as possible. Sadly, their students will be at a massive disadvantage to the majority. The ONLY fair system is external exams. We are only in February, so there is more than enough time to allow these to be arranged. But, when did this government ever care about young people, or doing what's right and fair?

  18392.  @alexwilliams6492  The only cheating going on is by the MP! How can it be easier to cheat in an external exam?

  18393.  @alexwilliams6492  Complete lies. The examiners who mark the papers do so in their own time at home. So they are as available as they have ever been. As for those who invigilate the exams, while good private schools use their teachers, most schools use unqualified people on minimum wage. I'm not kidding you when I say it's often dinner ladies.

  18394. With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what government are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out! And Javid can shove his masks up where he speaks out of! Just say "I'm exempt". The goons can't ask about your medical history.

  18399. This minister is either a liar or incredibly stupid: probably both. Yes it is very, very simple to amend exemptions. But what's even simpler is to just end this isolation nonsense. The majority of vulnerable have had both jabs, and almost all the rest will shrug off covid-19 more easily than a bad cold. But the biggest joke is that while there are lots of people not going to work they are otherwise not isolating. Right from the start, apart from the cowering snowflakes, nobody has followed isolation or mixing rules except, for things like work, where they don't have a choice. All this is doing is further screwing the economy, because outside of work most of these people are mixing and socialising.

  18401. All well and good, but there are more important things Ukraine should be doing. Because they haven't hit Moscow in the last few days they have lost the psychological impact that such attacks might have had. In particular continuing the attacks immediately after the announcement of Putin whacking Prigozhin would have piled the pressure on Putin. I support Ukraine's fight for freedom, and admire their bravery, but I have strong reservations about their tactical skills.

  18402. Forgive and forget? Not the Russian way, as a history of truly brutal purges proves. Anyone even suspected of being involved in this mutiny will be "dealt with": as will a lot who were videoed cheering the Wagner Group. The only question is how quite Putin's FSB goons manage to keep it.

  18408. Did it take 10 years to get ready for war with Nazi Germany? The only reason it could possibly take anywhere close to even half this time is because we have a spineless, incompetent government that goes all out to avoid the hard calls.

  18413. Yes, this shameless, cowardly and unnecessary panic for a second Christmas is going to cost a lot of jobs. And in true Tory form it's going to hurt some of the poorest most. Omicron is no big deal. Or if it is, it's for the possibility that it might SAFELY spread herd immunity and bring this pandemic to an end. What I'm now very sadly expecting is that Boris the Bastard lays into out kids again, in the new year, stealing their education and exams from them once more.

  18414. Silencing opinions one doesn't want on social media is exactly what the likes of Putin and Emperor Xi do. And courts not challenging government dictates, that suppress people's democratic rights, is what one expects to see in Russia and China.

  18416. Two FACTS are very well known about Covid. The first, known BEFORE lockdowns, was that the IFR was incredibly low at just 0.3%. It was also known that it was mainly those who were very old and/or very sick that were at risk. What insane government, knowing this, orders an incredibly damaging general lockdown? The second fact that became very well known well BEFORE vaccine roll out was that natural immunity after infection was very robust and long lasting. Taking both these facts into account medical ethics is unambiguous. You absolutely do not implement general vaccination. This is the case even if you have a vaccine that has been around for decades, let alone one that hasn't undergone the usual 3 or 4 years phase III safety trials.

  18438. As others have remarked this didn't get a mention by the BBC scum in England. The BBC has become a state controlled puppet, that we are forced to pay for through license fees. Like the erstwhile Iron Curtain countries, we in Britain now have to look to overseas news reports for anything that questions our government's approach to this virus. Britain is no longer the country that so many young men gave their lives to defend in two world wars. We are now a nation that our government doesn't hesitate to lie to, and does it's best to hide uncomfortable truths from.

When the only ones still wearing masks are the mask wankers, and people can one again travel where they like, and without any bloody testing, then I'll start considering whether people's freedom and liberty has been returned to them.

It also CAN'T happen in Israel, and there are many other countries now well on their way to being safe. With scaremongers like this Donald Trump was absolutely right to cut off funding to this incompetent and dishonest organisation.

  18453. The BBC also vigorously censored everything that didn't support No.10's narrative! HOWEVER, most people were only too happy not to consider anything that challenged this narrative. The fact that around 90% queued patiently for poorly tested vaccines, against a virus that threatened well under 1%, is ample proof of this.

  18457. We already took that fork in the road when we decided to stop schools and universities functioning normally and cancelled exams. All we are doing now is going further down that road which leads to hell. This virus poses a negligible risk to most young people, and a minute one to those who teach them. Also no evidence has ever been presented that buggering up their education and mental health has reduced transmission of this virus in the slightest. But why didn't the parents fight for their children's welfare? And therein lies why the government is prepared to vaccinate them, because it knows parents will stand by and do nothing. Everything that is being done to young people is solely for the benefit of those who are very much older. What kind of totally selfish and cowardly society sacrifices its young in this manner?

  18469. To miss quote Blow Job, "let's get covid done". For 999 out of 1000 this virus is less bother than a bad cold. Is it even remotely fair that the rest of us are having our lives turned upside down for just 1 in 1000? In fact most of these 1 in 1000 are very old and have already had a damn good life themselves. A great many of them are already seriously ill, and many of them have dementia, so death is usually a mercy for both them and their families. We need to travel and party like there's no tomorrow. Let's get as many people as possible infected so that the real Christmas present will be herd immunity, and we can all get on with our lives. As rising infections in so many places, like Germany and Wales, prove, all these lockdowns and restrictions don't work. They just wreck countless lives.

And I'm fairly sure that millions of others feel exactly the same whenever they see Hancock. It is now very likely that the UK is at herd immunity. As such there is absolutely NO SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION for vaccine passports, or indeed any testing of those travelling in and out of the UK. The virus simply CAN'T spread over here anymore. And don't believe the lies and scaremongering over variants. There is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that any variant is substantially more infectious or deadly.

  18476. For anyone who isn't' a complete fool, or a Putin fanboy, the very simple fact is that allowing Putin to win in Ukraine is not an option. If he does he will rampage through all the other Baltic states. Also, Emperor Xi, on seeing Western resolve crumble, will invade Taiwan.

  18477. If Sunak wasn't so bloody stupid and cowardly he would never have considered wasting the taxpayers' money on sending these illegals to somewhere with a lovely tropical climate. We have lots of very remote islands off the coast of Scotland, where these illegal migrants could be kept, and wouldn't dare try to escape by boat from. They should be transported to such places the INSTANT they ILLEGALLY set foot in Britain.
    1
  18478. Quite apart for the Nazi overtones of vaccine coercion, any sensible person must also ask themselves how necessary it is. With so many already vaccinated, millions now with natural immunity, and most of the rest at extremely low risk from this virus, will vaccine passports deliver any significant benefit? No scientific evidence has been presented to show that it will. Once again, it seems to be a case of the government imposing its will on people just because it feels the need to demonstrate that it holds power over them.

  18494. Right at the start those of us who weren't brain dead knew that lockdowns would be an unmitigated disaster. The REAL experts told governments to just isolate the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity developed. This would have brought the pandemic to an end ages ago. But no. Two planks Boris listened to the SAGE scaremongers and the cowering snowflakes. One of the shortest jokes in the world is now "two weeks to flatten the curve".

Sadly that doesn't mean that many doctors and nurses won't decide to jump ship well before April Fool's Day.

  18505. Those of us with brains are fairly certain that a desperate Indian government latched on to this excuse in an attempt to deflect the intense anger that is being directed against it. The Indian variant is nothing more than a scapegoat to get them off the hook. The TRUTH is that there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to indicate that this variant is any more infectious, deadly, or will circumvent immunity. If the Indian variant wasn't there we can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that another one would be taking it's place. Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat, and he must not be allowed to use this variant (or any other) as an excuse to yet again renege on his promises.

  18511. As usual, when Putin says one thing you can be certain he means the opposite. Putin favours Trump massively because he is hoping that Trump will stop supporting Ukraine and remove sanctions against Russia. Putin hopes to put people off voting for Kamala. One thing we can be sure of is that Putin will do everything he can to hang onto power until the Presidential election. So the West needs to do everything in its power to make this as difficult as possible for him.

The rest con themselves into believing that you can get good developers for cheap. A good developer is about 10 times as productive and will deliver a system with far fewer bugs, and be much better at pulling out any that do get through. If real professionals had written the system then all this would have been avoided!

In his efforts to weaken NATO he has got several countries really eager to join, and the strength of it's deployment in member countries has been very significantly increased.

  18555. It just goes to show how incredibly gullible and thick most people are. There has been plenty of reputable research published online. This clearly shows that the virus kills well under 1%, and poses a really tiny risk to most people. It also shows that those who recover from covid-19 have excellent long term immunity, and don't need vaccination. There's an old saying we all know, and acknowledge as true: "you can tell when a politician is lying because their lips move". So why have so many people swallowed their scaremongering lies hook, line and sinker?

  18565. Dan, even if some "passport" scheme is inevitable it should be based on immunity. Not just whether you have had two jabs. Research seems to indicate that those with natural immunity may well be better protected than those who have been vaccinated. It is ethically and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on people who do not need it, especially when these vaccines are not 100% safe, and we cannot possibly be certain that there will be no UNFORESEEN adverse long term effects associated with the mRNA vaccines which are completely new technology. I strongly suspect that there's a very sinister motive behind governments trying to deny how good natural immunity is. Excellent natural immunity implies that the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, offered to governments well before its publication, would have worked spectacularly well! The scum in most governments desperately don't want people to know that by following this advice covid-19 would now just be a small footnote in history, without any of the incredibly damaging lockdowns.

  18584. You have to be incredibly dumb to be taken in by this. Having said that, many millions of suckers were taken in by Downing Street's scaremongering over a virus that is harmless for about 99% of the population. Far from the 150,000 fatalities that the government would have you believe in, a recent freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that just 17,500 otherwise healthy people have died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. But, as Mark Twain said: "it's easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled".

  18590. "They made their minds up before they started". Well, there's some poetic justice then. Boris and his cabinet "wets" made their minds up about lockdowns BEFORE getting advice from the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta. When the these experts warned that lockdowns would be ineffective, and insanely damaging, Boris and his boys, like petulant children, deliberately ignored their advice. They made their minds up about masks, before evaluating their effectiveness, and once again ignored reports saying how ineffective most were. They decided in advance that everyone should be vaccinated, and ignored rock-solid science showing how excellent natural immunity was in those who had had Covid-19.

  18607. The usual story, that we've seen so many times. The Ukrainians kill enemy combatants, but the Russians murder civilians. Murdering the defenceless has always been the favoured Russian way. In WW II, among many other similar atrocities, the Russians butchered 22,000 Polish officers (defenceless POWs) at Katyn. Russia hasn't changed one iota since then.
    1
  18608. This is why the drone "attacks" on the Kremlin may well have been staged by Putin and his incompetent FSB goons. The last round of conscription went down like a depleted Uranium balloon. So perhaps Putin hopes to convince the feeble-minded that the "motherland" is under attack.
    1
  18609. With so many now vaccinated a far smaller fraction of those 100,000, if we even get anywhere near what the doom mongers are predicting, will end up in hospital. I'm far more worried about useless, damaging, dumb-ass lockdowns and restrictions than about a virus that kills well under 1% who are mainly very old and very sick.
    1
  18610. The TRUTH is that often its more a case of cheap labour. There are people in the UK that can do the job, but employers don't want to pay them a fair wage. This also contributes significantly to the teacher shortage. For the past ten years I have been privately tutoring A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. I know all my subjects inside out. However, most schools wouldn't touch me because they would have to pay me at the top of the main scale. By taking on a newly qualified or trainee teacher they can save around £10,000. I'm now retired, and wouldn't want to teach in most state hell-holes, but there are thousands of good, experienced older teachers that schools won't employ.

  18611. For the love of God, will someone who can get close to this sad excuse for a man shoot him or put a knife in his cowardly heart. They would be doing the country a massive favour. 50% more transmissible is definitely not my definition of massively more infectious. And aren't we all now wise to the "NHS is going to be overwhelmed" lie which has been wrongly claimed several times before. Sorry, but we've got all those Nightingale hospitals standing empty. I'm 63 but I feel desperately sorry for anyone under 30. All of them are having what should be by far their best years turned into a nightmare by this pathetic snowflake. School kids and university students have had their education totally buggered up, and those slightly older have had their early careers wrecked. And for what? A virus that kills just 1 in 1000 , who are mainly over 80, and has an IFR that is only three times as bad as flu. What's being done to this country is the work of a sadistic, deranged, madman.

  18619. Those fighting their way to the front of the vaccine queue might like to consider that this wasn't picked up in testing. It does make one wonder what else might have been missed, especially in regard to long term adverse effects. Think about it. If you are under 80, and at very low risk from covid-19, is it really sensible to risk these vaccines? Call me old-fashioned, but I like my vaccines to have spent a few years in phase 3 trials. if this were a real bad ass like Ebola then I'd be doing everything I could to jump the queue, but it's not.

Our courts now bear an uncanny resemblance to those in Russia.

  18625. Well, we would have even more money if we hadn't had totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, for a virus that posed a threat to less than 1% of the population. And, with natural immunity to this virus being so much better than vaccination, there was absolutely no need to waste money vaccinating the vast majority of the population.

  18627. Margaret Thatcher was without the slightest doubt better than any PM that has come after her. This is why she is hated by so many: especially wokes and lefties. If we still had Maggie you can be certain we wouldn't have the small boats tsunami or hate preachers spreading their venom with impunity. Instead we have a cabinet of wets, led by a wet, and an opposition who will be just as bad (best case scenario). I wonder if it's just a coincidence that, unlike all those MPs with PPEs and humanity degrees that we now have, she had a good science degree, and had previously been a research chemist.

  18628. I can live with the knowledge that if Putin does anything insane at Zaporizhzhia then a very substantial part of any radioactivity will be blown straight into Russia, because of prevailing Westerlies! The question is are the troops there who he is happy to see heavily irradiated, and the Russians downwind as happy about this? But one thing we have to make this deranged psychopath understand is that no matter what he says or does we will not give an inch.

  18664. Let's think this through. Who has the most to gain by striking a hospital? Israel gains nothing by striking a non-military target full of sick people. However, Hamas gains a lot if they can convince the Palestinians, and the rest of the world, that Israel did it: and they have very clearly demonstrated a total disregard for innocent lives. Killing your own people and blaming the other side is a tried and tested strategy that we have also seen Putin adopt several times. Is anyone really naive enough to think Hamas wouldn't do something like this?

This is cowardice of the most contemptable and highest order.

  18686. BUT, there couldn't have been a Partygate if Boris had kept his bottle and never had the totally unnecessary, and insanely damaging, lockdowns. He even had the best experts in the world, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, to back up such a decision. Without lockdowns Boris would now be entering a new term as a hero PM.

  18687. Despite you now being immune, I bet you are still being forced to wear masks and visors, when they are totally unnecessary for both you and your patients' safety. This kind of nonsense needs to end. However, I strongly suspect that maximum mask visibility is a major part of the government's fear mongering strategy. There are probably now about 20 million people in the UK who could dance naked up and down a ward packed full of covid-19 patients (if one still exists), at no risk to themselves. I get the very strong impression that there are an awful lot of doctors out there now privately (as they want to keep their jobs) saying that the reaction to covid-19 for the past few months has been way OTT. In case you missed it a few weeks ago, here's my parody on Boris. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJOlGdAFzA0&t=40s Sadly, instead of becoming less relevant, it seems to hit closer to home with each passing day.

  18688. This is so funny. Despite Emperor Xi's insane restrictions the number of covid-19 infections is higher than ever. So much bed-wetting over a virus that poses a negligible threat to about 99% of the population.
    1
  18689. Though few have the guts and honesty to say so, LOCKDOWNS have everything to do with our current economic disaster. Several recent reputable studies have concluded that they were completely ineffective. Worse still, the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, warned right at the start that lockdowns wouldn't work, but would inflict untold damage. And they repeated this warning a few months later in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was signed by thousands of scientists. But, like a petulant child, the government willfully ignored the genuine experts.

  18690. Covid myths: 1. Covid posed a threat to most people. The IFR was 0.3% or less, and it was overwhelmingly the very old/sick that died. To most people the threat was negligible. 2. Natural immunity was poor. Several very thorough studies, Israel and Cleveland among others, showed that natural immunity was both very good and long lasting. 3. Masks were important to stop the spread. A very large study in Bangladesh, and several others, showed that over 95% of masks and face coverings used were ineffective. 4. Lockdowns saved a lot of lives. Once again several very reputable studies concluded that they were completely ineffective. At best, in some countries, they just kicked the can a little bit down the road. Now let's see how long it takes YouTube to shadow ban or remove comments stating FACTS that it doesn't like.

  18693. You know what protection doesn't wane? Natural immunity! A recent study in Israel, which IS relevant to the Delta variant, was so massive that it has statistical confidence of over 99.9%. Generally statisticians are very happy when they hit 95%. And what did this study show? That natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. It is also long lasting: possibly for one's lifetime. One other thing. The study found that there was NO STATSTICALLY SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT to vaccinating those previously infected with covid-19.

  18694. If the Conservatives want to lose millions of OAP votes in the next general election then all they need to do is make the PENSION THIEF the PM. Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED OAPs out of their triple lock, and gave them a 3.1% rise, which is way below inflation, and below the rise that of most other people in the country are getting. Even if Sunak hadn't STOLEN the rise they were entitled to millions of pensioners would have really struggled!

  18695. Only a complete moron would read any good intent into any scaling back in areas like Kyiv. Of course we will see some scaling back in these regions, at least in the short term. But this has nothing to do with wanting peace, and everything to do with Russia getting a severe, and embarrassing, arse kicking in these regions. If mad dog Putin was at all serious about peace we would be seeing withdrawals, or a ceasefire, in areas like Mariupol.

  18704. US and NATO intervention had no chance of succeeding without the extermination of the Taliban. This was prevented by bleeding heart liberals who tied the hands of our brave soldiers who were fighting to bring freedom to an oppressed people, where women were routinely whipped or stoned to death. It's like two men in the ring where one of them is forced to abide by the Queensbury rules. His opponent is simply going to kick him in the balls and then jump up and down on his face. If the good guys had been given carte blanche, and even allowed to wipe out the Taliban over the boarder in Pakistan, then we might now have a free and democratic Afghanistan.

  18705. This has me laughing my socks off. Are people really so stupid that they don't understand that Labour is in very large measure responsible for the dire state of our economy? Large numbers of Tory backbenchers fiercely opposed No.10's lockdowns and restrictions, because they were totally unnecessary and incredibly damaging. They would never have happened without the unstinting support that Labour gave to Downing Street. If it weren't for Labour we could be laughing along with the Swedes!

  18708. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  18718. Nuclear power is very good and could be very clean IF MANAGED PROPERLY. One classic example is France's fast breeder Phoenix reactor. Instead of being a moron and letting Plutonium become a waste disposal nightmare it is consumed by this reactor. This also makes vastly more efficient use of limited Uranium supplies. There are also novel reactor designs to get rid of other waste, or even use Thorium. The real obstacle is that the same scientifically illiterate idiots who are terrified of covid-19 piss themselves whenever they hear the word nuclear. This irrational fear is why we talk of MRI scanners instead of what should be called NMRI scanners. Hospitals didn't want to frighten the ignorant oiks.

You DON'T address diversity and opportunity at the job or university application level, you address is at the primary and secondary school level!
    1
  18727. Well done for saying this GBN. As part of an incredibly successful fearmongering campaign the government continues to deny and ignore natural immunity. Repeated studies by highly reputable institutions have shown that all those who have had covid-19 (with the very rare exception a few immunocompromised) now have excellent long term immunity. In fact this immunity is probably better than that conferred by vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. AND we can test for that immunity. Even if, as is normal, antibody count has dropped, we can now test for memory B and T cells. Vaccinating such people does nobody any good. It's like going out with a watering can after it's been raining solidly for a week. But getting back to Boris, what Austin says is so true. This is a man who could dance naked up and down a packed covid-19 ward with no worries whatsoever!

As for someone worse taking over, it might well be that a thorough clean up is launched, with a purge of all his supporters. This war has been a disaster for Russia so it wouldn't make much sense to leave anyone in power (or even alive) who would continue it.

  18738. To hell with the government's snowflake concern about amber (or even red) listed countries. Almost all the most vulnerable have now had both doses of the vaccine, so we are not going to see deaths and hospitalisations increasing significantly no matter what country people visit. And people's lives certainly shouldn't be put on hold for those who refused the vaccine: or for the miniscule proportion of immune compromised people. It's way past time the government stopped infringing peoples rights for a virus that is now exceedingly unlikely to overwhelm the NHS.

  18751. Does Emperor Xi really not understand that Taiwan has been an independent country for 75 years? It has a larger population than quite a few other countries, and that population overwhelmingly does NOT want to be ruled by China.
    1
  18752. Another example of how zero intelligence is required to become an MEP. It's Clare Daly that displays breath taking stupidity in thinking that one can negotiate with Putin. I imagine she isn't aware of Chamberlain's futile 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. Putin is cut from the same cloth, and we are where we are now because he was earlier allowed to take Crimea.

  18753. For a rich, developed country the UK is one of the meanest when it comes to caring for its pensioners. ALL parties should be singing from the same hymn book on this one!

  18754. If this woman had sworn or shouted at me when I was in the Home Office she would have got the same back with interest. You have to stand up to bullies! However it's becoming more clear by the day just how totally unfit Blow Job is to be a prime minister. The Cummings incident was bad enough, but we have him once again turning a blind eye to the wrong doing of his friends.

  18755. Does anyone respect Priti Patel?

  18760. If Trump can convince the electorate that he really will rapidly deport all the ILLEGALS then he will almost certainly win the US election. In the UK too such action would be incredibly popular.

  18761. Two of those killed in the Russian attack on the Pizza military complex were 14 year-old twin sisters. For any decent person it's impossible not to feel sickened by Russia. If Putin could be captured a phenomenal amount of money could be raised by allowing people to pay for the opportunity to kill him : all money being kept, and the highest contributor getting to put the rabid dog down.
    1
  18762. Unless the government has been lying to people about the efficacy of the vaccines then what's going on elsewhere DOESN'T MATTER IN THE LEAST. 1. Those who are immune are exceedingly unlikely to import the virus, whatever the variant. 2. Even if a few variants do make it into the UK, with over 28 million now vaccinated this WILL NOT lead to a rise in hospitalisations and deaths. It's way past time for Boris to put away the Chicken Little outfit, put on his big boy pants, and returned everything to (the old) normal. Most people don't give a toss about covid-19. They just want the lives that have been stolen from them back!

And this paymaster says set your alarm clock, get your arse out of bed, and go into your office to do what you are paid to do!
    1
  18767. I think there is a reasonable chance that we are seeing Putin acting like the desperate, rabid animal that he is. He can see the wolves circling closer and closer, and like a frightened animal is trying to put on a display to scare them off from eating him.
    1
  18768. Accusations of sleaze by Starmer are akin to the pot calling the kettle black. This is a man who doesn't give a toss about the poor people his party is meant to represent. His support has helped the government crucify the poorest in this country. And this support has been given for just one reason. He wants to give the government every opportunity to do as much damage as possible to their chances of getting elected again. As long as he thinks his chance of sitting in No. 10 is being increased he's only too happy to let this government inflict the maximum pain and suffering on this country. If that isn't sleaze I don't know what is.

  18769. Look at where this plant is. If there's an "accident" the prevailing Westerlies will blow almost all of the radioactive discharge straight into Russia.

  18776. As in the UK, you will struggle to find a politician with a decent degree in something like maths, science or engineering, and Bowen is no exception. Of course most politicians are also dishonest: it's almost a job requirement. Bowen exemplifies this dishonesty by vastly exaggerating the cost of nuclear power and at the same time seriously understating the cost of moving to renewables.
    1
  18777. It looks like at least as many men are fleeing as the number that Putin wants to turn into cannon fodder. Things should get very interesting when he tries to close the borders. Maybe we will see a few more recruitment centres firebombed and/or recruiters shot.

  18778. Be under no illusion. Trudeau is a despotic tyrant who needs to be removed from power ASAP. None of this has anything to do with the science and protecting people. It's about a pathetic excuse for a man, who wants to show how tough he is by forcing his will on others. No sane person would agree that it's acceptable to freez the bank accounts of people who have committed no crime.

  18785. Isn't it funny how so many supposedly democratic countries are now behaving? Isn't it ironic how those in countries that we regard as less democratic are now enjoying more freedom? We are also seeing the kind of news censorship that we associate with China, and former Iron Curtain countries. The results of the massive Cleveland and Israeli studies on natural immunity have never been aired on mainstream TV news. Any thinking people should ask themselves if we would ever be told about any serious side effects caused by these vaccines. I'm fairly certain that governments would do absolutely anything to suppress such information. I now fly the Swedish flag outside my home, in recognition of the one country that is still a democracy, where people can trust their government.

  18786. Then, by the same argument, we should pay our nurses, doctors and teachers far better.

  18791. Far more MPs, on both sides of the house, would vote against Plan B, if they weren't such self-serving cowards. Mind you, many years ago I heard that part of the party whips' job was to dig up the dirt on MPs and use blackmail to force them to tow the party line.
    1
  18792. What a great shot. I do love roasted Orc.

  18793. Correct. The main cause is the insane and totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, over a virus that only ever posed a threat to about 3 in 1000 people!

  18796. I think most people who have a modicum of intelligence now recognise at least the following three biggest Covid myths: 1. Covid was a risk to most people. No. With an IFR of just 0.3%, or lower, it posed a risk to well under 1% of the population. 2. Natural immunity after contracting Covid wasn't very good. Actually, it was extremely good, and long lasting. 3. Masks helped stop the spread of Covid. All most of them did was add to the bad litter and pollution problems that we already have. But maybe there's a much bigger myth than all of these, in regard to how safe a certain type of vax is!
    1
  18797. Most Tory MPs, and ministers in particular, are only in love with themselves. All they are looking for is an opportunity to climb the greasy pole, and they will happily stab others in the back, and trample over them to do so. Boris was elected PM because many others thought that they could eventually use it to their advantage. It really is that simple.

  18799. What a pathetic mental case Putin is. The West has refused to be blackmailed by his numerous threats from many months, yet he persists in this fruitless endeavor.
    1
  18800. Correct! The vast majority are scientifically illiterate and innumerate. Right from the start immunology 101 told me that long term immunity was extremely likely. It also didn't take me long, looking at the figures, to work out that a randomly chosen individual had about 1 in 1000 chance of dying. Unfortunately governments have preyed on people's ignorance and stupidity to scare them shitless. Goebbels would have been exceedingly proud if this had been one of his propaganda campaigns.
    1
  18801. Unconvincing. I'm seeing the explosions of each rocket as it lands, but there don't appear to be any secondary explosions from anything hit. You know, the kind of secondary explosions we almost always see in Ukrainian videos.

  18802. You know that Putin is totally insane when he starves the very countries that either support him or are sitting on the fence.

  18803. The operative word is "next". Incontinent Putin has more than he can handle in Ukraine. Stop him taking Ukraine and there won't be a next: and probably no longer a Putin either.

  18804. Labour supporters are weak-minded.

  18805. Years ago almost all charities were run pro-bono. Fundraising was typically done for free by the likes of WI. Now you will find that almost every charity is headed by people who "earn" substantially much more than most of us. Is it any wonder that the number of charities have increased like a virulently growing cancer?

  18810. Well, when you get a dangerous violent criminal running the country it's probably not too surprising that he has released other dangerous violent criminals. I guess a murder in Russia earns you 6 months raping, torturing and murdering on the front line, then you get to come home and murder another Russian.

  18812. No wonder the Russian army are getting their arses kicked. You have got to be unbelievably stupid to spend much time in a highly radioactive area, let alone dig trenches in its contaminated soil. Anyone ordered into such an area, with a few functioning brain cells would, in preference, surrender to Ukrainian forces.
    1
  18813.  @drakehound2244  Well, if the elite troops were stupid enough to obey orders telling them to go into a highly radioactive area, what does that say about the ordinary ones?
    1
  18814.  Adrian Spears  Oh, did I upset one of Putin's fan boys?
    1
  18815. Odessa has the largest network of underground tunnels in the world, so the chance of a successful occupation is very small. But I suppose that when one is dealing with a psychopathic maniac like Putin how many Russians die trying doesn't really matter.

  18817. So, let me get this right. Someone comes over here illegally, and then their relatives are ALLOWED in. Am I the only one who thinks that this is completely insane?
    1
  18818. The real, and colossal, mistake was Boris losing his bottle, giving in to his wets, and having lockdowns. If he hadn't done this our economy would be strong, and NHS waiting lists much smaller. Boris would then have been hailed as a hero, and be enjoying 5 more years as PM. The Tories haven't had a decent PM since Margaret Thatcher. Only someone like her stands a chance of saving the Conservative party: and that certainly isn't Boris.
    1
  18819. God, this man makes undertakers, in the middle of performing their duties, seem the life and soul of the party. People have already had a year of their lives stolen from them. The vaccines seem to be performing spectacularly well so its time to get back to (the old) normal. We can't let these Dr. Deaths ruin everyone's lives with their forever gloomy "what ifs". People need to think of the Gurkha motto: "better to die than live as a coward". Cowards never really live at all. I'm fine with them all hiding under a stone, but I'm damned if they should be allowed to poison life for the rest of us.
    1
  18820. Nobody has any intention of invading Belarus. What Lukashenko really means is that, having usurped power after rigged elections, he wants protection from his own people. Putin is keeping him in power. With Russia greatly weakened, things might go very badly for Lukashenko if those Russian troops in Belarus are "moved" elsewhere.

  18821. Did anyone really think that a coward like Putin would leave his safe rat hole in the Kremlin?

  18846. Let's cut all the lying crap. About two weeks ago, based on their experience, South African doctors said that Omicron is EXTREMEY MILD. Nothing since then has caused them to alter this assessment. But the cowardly snowflakes in this country don't want to accept this and keep making up feeble and pathetic excuses as to why the findings in South Africa should not apply to the UK. Far from tightening restrictions both Plan A and Plan B need to be ditched. The snowflakes are never going to loose their yellow stripe so the rest of us need to ignore (or better still mock) them and get on with our lives.

  18847. Most people don't care about our children! If they did our schools and universities would have carried on as normal over the last 18 months. Covid-19 posed a negligible threat to them, and a miniscule one to most of their teachers. There was also little convincing evidence that keeping schools and universities open significantly increased the risk to the vulnerable. Yet cowardly and selfish people decided that it was OK to completely bugger up their education and mental health. Does anyone honestly believe that these same selfish people are going to make any sacrifices to protect our children's future?

When a large system goes live there are ALWAYS problems with it. The DEFAULT assumption should have been a fault with Horizon, rather than automatically assuming that 100s of postmasters were committing fraud. For the incredible harm and suffering Vennells caused to these people, she richly deserves to be sharing a cosy cell with big butch Bertha!

  18852. If Trump gets his way then Putin will get the following: 1. He will get to keep all Ukrainian land he has stolen. 2. A chance to rebuild his army. 3. The chance to take the rest of Ukraine. 4. The chance to invade Baltic states and Eastern European countries.

  18854. Another has been prime minister speaking out of where he can shove his mask. The South African doctors have been very clear that the symptoms of this variant are EXTREMELY MILD. It should probably be called the Fluffy Kitten variant. The government has, for some time now, been gagging to reintroduce masks, and probably also cancel Christmas. This very innocuous variant is simply a pathetic excuse, which only the most gullible will swallow. The government's real concern is that this very low risk variant will spread, and give lots more people excellent NATURAL IMMUNITY, while doing hardly any harm. This, to say the least, would be very embarrassing to them.

  18857. Kursk has shown Lukashenko that Putin will not come to his aid if the majority of Belarusians, who don't want him, and never did, decide it's time to "remove" him from power. Therefore he needs to keep his army at home to protect him. Of course, again because of Kursk, his army may now be starting to consider whether they are still willing to support him.
    1
  18858. ​@mr wpg Yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realises that the 28 day rule is a way to con people into believing that a lot more people have died from covid-19 than really have. If one multiplies a well accepted IFR of 0.3% against the number of infections to date then the expected number of deaths are about one tenth of what the government would have us believe.

  18859. Nana, sulky mummy's boy Herr Macron has dreams of a United States of Europe, with a European army, and of course him as the commander in chief. Britain leaving the EU has now given other countries, like Poland, ideas. So like any spoiled child, who doesn't get his way, Macron is throwing a massive tantrum.

  18860. When you have too many parasites it puts any ecosystem under unsustainable strain. Those taxes are needed to pay for all the illegals that the government is letting pour into the country, and the nearly 3 million work-shy who play the sick card in order to sponge off the rest of us.
    1
  18861. The very reason many voted for Reform UK, including myself, is that they are sick to the back teeth of a Conservative party that has been going steadily downhill since they stopped having Margaret Thatcher as their leader. Having anything to do with the Tories would be a massive vote loser!

  18862. The VAST MAJORITY of us are truly sick of the do-gooders and wokes complaining about ILLEGAL aliens be treated illegally! Actually I don't agree with the Rwanda policy because I think it would be much cheaper to detain these illegals in nissen huts on a very remote, cold, and wet Scottish island. Now that would be a deterrent!

  18876. People, please stop believing the variant scam. This has become the number one go-to excuse for dishonest and incompetent politicians all over the world. The very simple fact is that if people weren't infected with the variant du jour then they would be infected by another variant. This card has now been played for over 6 months. Boy do you have to be dumb to keep falling for it. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You've got to ask yourself what this says about people who are fooled again and again and again.

Do you really now expect MSM to publicize anything showing that lockdowns were an insane over reaction, natural immunity was (is) absolutely brilliant, masks were useless, and most people should never have been vaccinated.

However, they know full well that they won't be in charge when the shit hits the fan, and so they just dig their snouts deeper in the trough. The best way to change this culture is to severely punish those retired CEOs and ministers who ignored the warnings when they were on watch.

  18895. If drones are so important then let's make certain that Ukraine has lots more of them, and bigger and better ones too. Somewhere in a top secret area are some fighter jets and bombers that can be flown remotely by someone wearing a VR helmet and haptic interface. If I had Uncle Sam's resources I could definitely have built such stuff several years ago! I'd like to see that equipment get its baptism of fire in Ukraine.

    1
  18898. There have been drone attacks across the boarder, but there is absolutely no way that these five drones could have even travelled all the way from Ukraine, let alone done so without being intercepted a long way from Moscow. Once again this is the work of Putin's own FSB goons. Frightening his own Russian people into supporting him is a very standard Putin tactic. If a few Russians get killed in the process then it's a plus for him since it increases the fear factor. Well, that's until he gets found out.

It's like having to choose between the torturer who is going to pop your joints on the rack, and the one who is going to shove a red hot poker up your arse. What we need are all the honest MPs to get together and form a new party. The only problem with that is that there probably aren't enough honest MPs.

  18912. TOLD YOU SO! Most people are incredibly dense. Even when you explain to them that trying to stop a virus with most masks is like expecting the fencing used in most tennis courts to stop fruit flies getting through, most are too damn stupid to understand.
    1
  18913. Do stop making such a bloody fuss over a virus that kills well under 1%, and that was before any vaccine. Apart from the relatively few immunocompromised people, all the most vulnerable have been offered the vaccine. Those who took it will have been fully vaccinated by now. Younger people who haven't been vaccinated are at negligible risk. We can't put life on hold for the refuseniks or the incredibly tiny proportion of those who can't have the vaccine. We also shouldn't expect people for whom this virus poses a negligible risk, or those who are now naturally immune to take a vaccine that relies on new technology. There is absolutely no way that we can guarantee that there will be no UNFORESEEN adverse long term effects from mRNA vaccines, so it is beyond unethical to vaccinate people who don't really need it. It took FOUR YEARS before suspicions were aroused that thalidomide was not the harmless drug it had been billed to be!

  18915. In regard to Rwanda I would have to agree with Labour. If it were up to me these people would be housed in POW style camps on cold, wet, remote Scottish islands. It would be vastly cheaper, and a damn good deterrent that would have a lot of them begging to go home.
    1
  18916. Probably the only reason that Belarussian troops are still supporting Lukashenko is that they themselves imagine that they are supported by Putin's Orcs. I wonder how long this support will last before the penny finally drops that Putin no longer has the strength to support them. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Belarussian military switch their allegiance to the majority of the population who want Lukashenko out. Then then Russian troops would be expelled from Belarus and their nuclear weapons taken, which would be a deterrent against a Russian invasion.

  18918. You mean Covid whitewash, don't you? No questioning of the effectiveness of lockdowns. No mention of Astra-Zeneca's world-wide withdrawal of its vaccine. No mention of continuing excess deaths. But like ALL so-called "inquiries" the lawyers involved always do better than anyone else: which is their real purpose.

  18921. With many major economies helping Ukraine, a protracted war overwhelmingly favours Ukraine. Between the ever growing sanctions and the cost of the war Russia is heading for economic meltdown. Even a fairly thick Russian should be able to figure out that "removing" Putin and his so-called "strong men" is something that needs to be done ASAP.
    1
  18922. Sorry Zelensky, but a lot of those plans should have been well formulated already! At an absolute minimum you need to hold the line this winter, and to be in with a chance you probably need to even push the Orcs back during it. Not nice to hear, but true.

  18926. While it's only right that The Sun tries to show both sides, let's face it. The Russian videos are a joke. Quite unlike the Ukrainian ones they never show any real evidence of anything Ukrainian being hit. They are great at showing preparation or their own soldiers prancing around, but that's it. As I've said before, when it comes to Russia it's all foreplay and no climax.

  18927. What kind of complete moron risks a radioactive leak that prevailing winds will blow into their own country?

  18928. Earlier on government tried frightening us with exponential growth. Well, guess what? Decline is an exponential decay, and exponential decays flatten out. In fact they tend asymptotically to zero. The "could be rising" is some wretched scaremonger trying to read far too much into a very minor random fluctuation. We also need to remember that, with over 20 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, almost all new infections are not going to be a big deal.

  18934. One thing is absolutely certain. Letting Hamas exist is not an option. The heartrending atrocity that occurred about 4 weeks ago was the result of effectively having many years ceasefire with Hamas. The lesson is very clear. Any such ceasefire will ALWAYS be used to regroup and build up new resources in preparation for the next atrocity. Those who don't acknowledge this are either deluded fools or themselves Hamas supporters.

  18938. We should never have had any lockdowns. This is a virus that kills less than 1%, who are mainly over 80. It was both insane and immoral to screw up the lives of the more than 99% who were never at serious risk from this virus.
    1
  18939. It's not a question of need. It's the lust of a deranged megalomaniac dictator for ever more power. Nothing will ever be enough for Putin, which is why it's so important that he is soundly defeated in Ukraine.
    1
  18940. The most inflammatory revelation has to be what the ONS released in response to a freedom of information request, a few days ago. You know those 150, 000 UK deaths you were told about. Well, if you actually remove all those who had previous health issues you are left with just 17,500: and almost all of those were over 65. As those of us who aren't brain dead have said from the start, covid-19 poses virtually no threat to healthy people! And this isn't the only very recent good news. In the US, the CDC has just published a paper that confirms what the Cleveland and Israeli studies told us a long time back: 1. Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting. 3. Vaccinating those with natural immunity confers no benefit. FFS, why is this insane panicking still continuing?
    1
  18941. It's not very nice, but if these poorly tested vaccines cause cancer a few few years down the line I'm going to well and truly LMAO, because myself and many others repeatedly warned those not at high risk against taking them.

  18946. Well, when you have a tyrant you have to FIGHT for your human rights. They are not going to just be handed to you no matter how many bleat for them, or for how long. To date over 400 of these bleating protestors have been slaughtered like sheep, but not a single cleric or Revolutionary Guard has died, so nothing is going to change.
    1
  18947. Before long we will be seeing boosters about every 2 months. Am I the only one with concerns about keeping antibody levels sky high? You see, despite over a billion years of evolution, our immune systems don't do it this way. Instead they produce memory cells, that only ramp up the antibody levels again if they are needed. Could that possibly be because really bad things happen if you do what the vaccine cheerleaders are going?
    1
  18948. Zelensky fails to understand that this bridge is intimately linked to Putin's prestige. Its destruction would be a very public and massive humiliation for Putin. If this lead to his "removal" it could save tens of thousands of lives on both sides: maybe far more.

  18956. The Russian people are only beginning to realise just how many have died, or suffered life changing injuries for Putin. There's no need to give him even one square meter of Ukraine, which includes Crimea, because his own people will soon take care of him. Trump must have some very sinister reasons for trying to throw Putin a lifeline.

  18960. Putin is a rabid psychopath, so what Joe Biden said is absolutely spot on, and should in no way be retracted. All those apologists ought to remember that Biden didn't say how mad dog Putin should be removed, but in very stark contrast this butcher has tried to have Ukraine's democratically elected president murdered.

  18961. Once again YouTube is removing comments that suggest handing out the same treatment to Iranian officials.

The West and NATO will not be blackmailed, because if they succumb this blackmail will be used time and time again: both by Russian AND China.
    1
  18968. Well the best, and most face-saving, way out of this for Russia would be for some good Russians to put a few bullets in both Putin and his so-called "strong men". I think there is also still a million dollar reward for putting down Putin.

  18986. This is pure vindictiveness, and gratuitous destruction and murder. With what's gone on in the rest of Ukraine, and the fact the Odessa has the largest network of underground tunnels in the world, it is patently obvious that Russia doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of taking Odesa.

  18988. Truths that the "peace in our time" brigade don't want to believe. If Putin takes Ukraine it really is just the start. Not only will he go after every Baltic state, but China currently has one eye on Ukraine and the other on Taiwan. Too many take take freedom for granted, but freedom is something we all have to be prepared to defend to the very last man standing.
    1
  18989. In practical terms Putin's pathetic attempt to frighten the West is totally insignificant, for at least 2 reasons: 1. Putin had already stopped the inspections that are part of the treaty quite some time ago. 2. Russia doesn't have either the technological or financial means to do enhance its nuclear arsenal in the short term.

  19002. Not just lockdown. Blow Job really hates young people. One would expect that by June/July all the vulnerable will have already been fully vaccinated for a good few weeks or even months. So hospitalisations, and deaths, will be well down. But despite this, this complete and utter cowardly retard has cancelled A-level exams. Thanks to a year of piss-poor teaching and little incentive to start university, an awful lot of young people, who are no longer at school, have decided to spend the year in private study and retake their exams this summer. All these students are now completely and utterly stuffed. Blow Job hasn't just flattened their future, he has knocked it to the ground and kicked the shit out of it: and with no good reason.

  19005. Professor Jay Bhattacharya is so right. It's cowardly, selfish, and very stupid, rich and middle class people who have been supporting lockdowns, because they barely inconvenience them, but they have crucified the poorest. What I find so hard to understand is why people can't see how totally ineffective lockdowns are. At best they just kicked the covid-19 can down the road a bit. To anyone who isn't severely mentally challenged it is obvious that heeding the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration is/was the right way to go. If this had been done we would now be enjoying herd immunity. The most vulnerable would be able to come out of isolation, economies would be intact, and our young people wouldn't have had their education and mental health bugger to hell. We would also probably have had fewer deaths. The imposition of lockdowns is on a par with serious war crimes!

  19010. 9.5 million is 25% of the working age population. The percentage of people who GENUINELY can't work is going to be no more than 5% at the absolute maximum, and probably much closer to 2.5%. THIS is where there are incredible savings to be made by government, not removing old people's winter fuel allowance. Benefit fraud must be costing this country TENS OF BILLIONS of pounds every year!

  19017. The French constitution might allow it, but what Herr Macron did was the act of a despicable dictator. He is relying on anger dying down, and this must not happen. The big deal isn't raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, it's the way it was done. Such things must not be allowed to succeed in a democratic country.

  19026. With YouTube handing out warnings without telling you what they object to it can be difficult to tell what caused them to get their knickers in a twist. However, as far as I can tell, I just got a post for another video on this removed, and a warning, for suggesting that a Mafia boss should be shot, and that the lawyers getting rich for defending him are bent. I'm sure I also previously got a ban for insulting Putin!

  19027. Well they can have my dose. Christmas day before last I woke up aching from head to toe, feeling like someone had taken a wire brush to my throat, but in little more than 24 hours I was well on the mend. So it's highly likely I made friends with covid-19 very early on. Despite the government's torrent of lies, I know I'm now immune and don't need any rushed through vaccine. Can't help wondering if any of the 33 in Norway who died might not have needed it either.

  19037. Most people in Belarus do not want Putin's puppet Lukashenko as their ruler. Neither do they want Russian troops in their country. I suspect that even more Belarusians do not want nukes controlled by Russia in their country. The good news is that Putin is very much weaker than he was a year ago, so now would be the perfect time to make a bid for freedom and democracy. It's also reasonably likely that if Russia loses its influence in Belarus then Putin would be "removed" from power. Furthermore there's chance that any action in Belarus would spur Georgia to distance itself from Moscow, and take back the 20% of its country that was stolen. In fact there are also other regions too that don't want to be under Moscow's yoke, so any one party making a stand now might even be a prelude to the end of the Russian Federation.

This I know without a doubt because my brother was in the police for a while and loved the power, but fortunately he was forced to resign.

  19052. What may, or eventually will, break the back of COVID is not the lockdowns we have had or the vaccines. It's good old-fashioned natural immunity, which is now irrefutably proven to be much better than vaccination. Of course, dishonest governments will never admit this, because it implies that their insanely damaging lockdowns were unnecessary: AS SWEDEN PROVES.

  19055. Eventually these countries will have to open up to the rest of the world. And when they do, like the Terminator, covid-19 WILL BE BACK. So, unless they have vaccinated most people in the meantime, we will see a return to headless chicken lockdowns. Of course, thanks to vaccination, and natural immunity in those who have recovered, we now have, or are extremely close to, herd immunity in the UK. So, other than cowardly and power hungry ministers, there is absolutely no rational reason why we shouldn't drop all restrictions. They simply aren't needed over here anymore, and neither are vaccine passports. Life can't be lived on the premise of the worst "what if" scenarios, which is exactly what is now happening in he UK.

The WHO has now become very much like the League of Nations shortly before World War I, completely and utterly useless. Here's the real reason governments are so scared of the Fluffy Kitten variant. It has the very real potential to SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on people. Imagine just how much embarrassment this would cause, as well as loosening governments' grip on power.

  19063. Of course not. Life is too short to waste time on reports that will just be filed away and later binned. Hell, you can have people in the act of hammering your door down, or taking the wheels off your car, and the police won't bother to turn up until they are long gone.

  19066. Tim, as you and I both know, the PCR test ultimately detects certain pieces of this virus, both from whole virus particles and those which have already been broken up. What it emphatically cannot do is say whether a person is infected. In the case of vaccinated people there is a good chance that what is being picked up is a very small viral load that the immune system will clear within the next 12 or so hours, or fragments of virus that the immune system has already dispatched. The PCR test is like the grain of rice on a chessboard tale: it is incredibly sensitive, and was never intended to be used in the manner the government is using it in. Unfortunately most people are far too scientifically illiterate to understand any of this.

  19075. People like me have been saying this for months now. Emperor Xi is using Ukraine to gauge the West's resolve and unity. If we let Putin take Ukraine then we will be giving Xi the green light to invade Taiwan. On the other hand if Ukraine wins and the Russian military is catastrophically weakened, or the Russian Federation fragments, then Xi will think very carefully about his megalomaniac ambitions. It really is that simple.

And even if they could they would have been detected and intercepted a long way from Moscow. Putin has a good solid record of false flag attacks on his own people, in order to frighten them into supporting him: and he really doesn't care if he kills a few.

  19085. Putin may well think that an escalation will help keep him in power. Just look at how things are going for him. What was meant to last a few days is now into its 10th month, with around 100,000 Russians dead. On top of this his Orcs are being pushed back everywhere. This hardly inspires confidence in "leader".

When this is all over some enterprising producer is going to produce something akin to "Allo, Allo" (Dobra, Dobra?) with Orcs doing things like stealing washing machines and storing ammo in their barracks.

  19091. Let's be realistic. When we say "stop Putin" what we really mean is somebody who can get close to him putting a bullet through his head, because the man is completely insane and, given the opportunity, will destroy the world rather than back down. He made this very clear in his comment about starting global nuclear war if "NATO sets so much as a foot into Ukraine". It's hard to believe that no one who can reach him doesn't have family (maybe kids) that they care enough about to put this rabid dog down, even if it costs them their own life.

  19107. Consider these two matters: 1. If Labour hadn't supported the government's lockdowns they couldn't have happened. All they did was devastate our economy, sending 1000's of sound businesses to the wall, and wrecking young people's education and mental health. Sweden, and other countries, showed how totally unnecessary and futile these lockdowns were. 2. Tony Blair, no less, previously suggested housing illegals on remote Scottish islands, which would be vastly cheaper than the Rwanda farce: and a real deterrent. Yet do we see Labour promising to replace the Rwanda scheme with this? No! Both the Tories and Labour are hell-bent on wrecking this country. Voters need to have the sense to see this, and the courage to vote for some other party.

  19116. Something about these stories simply doesn't add up. Not too long ago Scientific American did an article on this saying that the DoD had done extensive research on this a fair while back, and concluded the hypersonic weapons were not effective.

  19117. If I went out and stabbed an old lady I'd probably get a lot less than a 10 year jail sentence. If parliament and the law lords let HandOnCock get away with this then it really will signal the end of UK democracy and a strong entrenching of the Downing Street dictators. I'm sure we could cut down on littering and fly tipping if we had similar penalties, but up until now there was some concept of penalties being proportionate to the crime: not to HandOnCock's level of fear.

  19119. You know what's making that 0-18 (3:36) shoot down? Natural immunity! Yes folks, despite government lies, it's real and here to stay. Lasting protection (5:38) from boosters? We don't know this. Is it going to be shot No. 4 in a few months time? Is constantly pumping the antibody count sky high, which nature doesn't do, really good for you? Do notice where Sweden is (7:31). Funny how they never needed any lockdowns to get so low. Once again, I'm thinking natural immunity. Sorry (16:23) but I believe that the ONLY thing that will get us out of this pandemic is natural immunity. The 4/5th (17:27) doing really well with natural immunity is probably good enough to generate herd immunity. I suspect the other 1/5th are mainly people with poor immune systems: typically old and sick people. Also the studies that berate natural immunity are invariably the smaller badly conducted studies that everyone except dishonest governments heavily criticise. By the way, Yale did a large study on masks, in Bangladesh. The conclusion was that while surgical masks offered some protection the kind of masks that the vast majority of people wear are about as much use as a condom with the end cut off!

Bearing in mind that we have the same kind of Russian army that murdered 22,000 polish officers, as shown by their current propensity for rape and torture of civilians, better a quick clean death on the battlefield.

  19194. Parents don't need to be patient, because no good parent who loves their child should be even considering vaccinating them unless they have some medical condition that puts them in particular danger from this virus. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE RISK to almost all children, and if the books on medical ethics hadn't been burnt no decent doctor would advise vaccinating them. Forty to fifty years ago high school students used to be allowed to play with all kinds of chemicals that you will no longer see in today's school labs. These have been removed not because they pose an immediate threat, but because they might cause serious damage 10, 20 or even 50 years down the line. We simply cannot know for certain that a vaccine which has only been around for a year will not have serious side effects in years to come. That is why good people don't vaccinate those for whom a disease is no worse than a mild cold in most cases. If you genuinely love and care about your children don't do this to them!

It's sounding more and more likely that if Boris Johnson hadn't allowed himself to be hen-pecked then he would have adopted the kind of strategy recommended in the Great Barrington Declaration. Doing this would, ironically, have resulted in less deaths. Additionally our economy would now be in good shape, as would our young people's education and mental health.

  19218. From the very large Cleveland study, and vastly larger Israeli study, only a fool or pathological liar would now deny that natural immunity is vastly superior to vaccine induced immunity, and unlike the latter it may well last a lifetime. Given this the advice of the REAL experts should have been followed. This was given very early on, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, for everyone to see what dumb-ass governments had ignored. The government fools were told that lockdowns wouldn't work, but they knew better than the experts. They gambled everything on a short lockdown giving them the quick fix that politicians always look for, and they failed spectacularly. If the advice in the GBD had been followed we would now be enjoying rock solid natural herd immunity!

  19226. Moscow almost certainly IS pressuring the Fat Dictator, who relies on his army to keep him in power. But he also relies on Moscow, so he will be a good little despot and do what Putin tells him to. Putin desperately needs new cannon fodder, and Belarusians will do just fine, especially as conscripting Russians doesn't go down very well.

  19227. Never mind the elite's children. Not that many from Moscow or St. Petersburg get sent to the front line. It's the schmucks in far flung regions that get used as cannon fodder.

The main problem with replacing Boris is that most who want to take his place are as bad, if not worse. Desmond Swayne needs to throw his hat in the ring.

  19269. Only in ultra woke Britain would we allow ILLEGALS to choose where they are housed or complain about it.

  19270. What I find so distressing about these videos is that a lot of these pigs seem able to scurry away, leaving them free to rape, torture and murder in the future.

  19271. Does this moronic minister really not appreciate that the UK could give a lot more vaccine to those who REALLY NEED IT, if the UK wasn't trying to coerce those with natural immunity, and young people, who REALLY DON'T NEED IT, into being vaccinated?
    1
  19272. Roses are red, Violets are blue, I didn't take these vaccines, And I'm laughing at you.

  19273. It's escalated because Herr Macron is a sulky mummy's boy who is desperate to convince people that he is a tough guy.
    1
  19274. Making it impossible to work, travel or have a social life, if you don't get vaccinated, is no different from mandatory vaccination. However, like the lying scum in Downing Street, politicians are sure that most people are too stupid to appreciate this.

  19275. All this death and destruction, simply to bolster the ego of one incontinent psychopath.

  19277. Idiots who took "vaccines" that hadn't been properly tested don't deserve any compensation!

  19278. One country supports Putin, and the Taliban are back in Afghanistan because of the sanctuary the other one gave to them. Let them fight it out.
    1
  19279. That's one of the reasons we desperately need a new alternative party. Because both Labour and the Lib Dems will also role out the red carpet for illegal migrants.
    1
  19280. When is comes to immigration Kier Starmer sees no evil, hears no evil, and speaks no evil against those who shouldn't be in OUR country. The riots will stop almost instantly if he shows the same alacrity in deporting foreign criminals and illegal migrants (same thing really) as he does in jailing "far-right thugs".

  19284. If there was PR then Labour would have won only half as many seats, and Reform UK would have won over 10 times as many. Our CORRUPT FPTP system is an insult to democracy and the true will of most British people.
    1
  19285. As those of us who aren't gullible cowering snowflakes have known for a long time, both covid-19 cases and covid-19 deaths are grossly exaggerated. But giving the true figures wouldn't frighten people into surrendering their freedom and liberty. I get so tired of telling people that a positive PCR test only means you might have covid-19.
    1
  19286. Very well done Ukraine. It's just a little unfortunate that most of the Orcs got away. So they will live to rape, torture and murder another day.
    1
  19287. Totally predictable. Whenever Putin gets upset he murders defenseless civilians. This clip reminded me of the rockets Hitler used to launch against London. They too were designed to murder civilians rather than attack military targets.

  19288. Motorists expecting to encounter these morons should keep a bucket of urine and feces in their car that they can throw over them.

  19291. Yes folks, us Brits are forced to fund a broadcaster that is racist and ageist: both illegal. Most of us want to see the TV license fee scrapped and the BBC made to fend for itself like other channels.
    1
  19292. It's in bad taste, but one has to laugh at the thought of these soldiers thinking Putin gives a damn about their lives. Putin doesn't care about the lives of ANY Russians, and would sacrifice every man, woman and child in order to hang on to power. That's the basic nature of a psychopath.

  19298. These strikes serve no military purpose and are just like the Nazis' Blitz on British cities, which was intended to break the spirit of the British people. It didn't work for Hitler, and it won't work for Putin either.

  19303. The Public are most certainly stupid, but don't like to accept this simple truth, or be told it. Even with a Mensa level IQ I have only to look in an abstract algebra or general relativity book to realise that there are people far brighter than myself. So why can't most people face the truth?
    1
  19304. Maybe there's "very little of the how" because any idiot can make empty promises, but working out how to deliver them requires intelligence!

  19305.  @jaysonb.6669  Nicely put. Chose it or we will make you have it is no choice at all.
    1
  19306. The government's, courts' and police's acceptance of this appalling anti-Semitism betrays and dishonours the tens of thousands of young men who gave their lives in WW II, so that Britain would never experience what we are seeing now.
    1
  19307. Peut-être tardif, mais le moment choisi, juste après avoir détruit 40 bombardiers, est très opportun. Les Russes se demanderont ce qui plus a pu être planifié il y a des mois et qui attend maintenant dans les coulisses.
    1
  19308. An "utter failure" sums up lockdowns perfectly. All they have done is wreck economies, and bugger the hell out of young people's education and mental heath. But, amazingly, there are still countless millions of cretinous snowflakes who would like to see even more of them. Right at the start the REAL experts' advice was to ONLY isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity developed, which would have happened fairly quickly: definitely well under a year. Boris should have listened to them instead of SAGE's grossly exaggerated doomsday scenarios.
    1
  19309. At the moment Russia is getting its arse kicked by just one country: Ukraine. So it hardly seems likely that it would fare well against the whole of Europe.
    1
  19310. I think forces in NATO countries should consider giving soldiers who want to fight in the Ukraine discharges, with the option to re-enlist.
    1
  19311. I suspect Modi wants to persuade Ukraine to stop targeting Russian oil, so that he can continue to get cheap supplies from his friend Putin.
    1
  19312. I wouldn't put it past Trump to let Russia take all of Ukraine in return for allowing him to mine its rare earth metals: and maybe also divide Greenland between them.
    1
  19313. The best way to make sure this, and any other planed atrocities don't happen is to assure Putin that the second they do NATO's air forces will be instantly scrambled to wipe out all his Orcs in Ukraine.
    1
  19314. Rich Boy Sunak needs to U-turn on CHEATING poor OAPs out of their "triple lock". Their pension rise is now way below inflation. Even without him STEALING what they were entitled to many would have really struggled.
    1
  19315. Really good news. This will help spread herd immunity. I'm betting the deaths have nothing to do with the EXTREMELY MILD Omicron variant.
    1
  19316. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.
    1
  19317. If GPs didn't have to pander to nut jobs then they would have enough time to see those who are genuinely sick.
    1
  19318. 'Covid only kills over-80s' Well said Boris! Maybe this isn't correct, but it is much, much closer to the truth than trying to make everyone afraid of dying from covid-19. There is now a serious mental health epidemic in many countries because people who are at incredibly low risk have been indoctrinated into being terrified of this virus.
    1
  19319. We need to put this government up against the wall and shoot it. Let's we very clear on what's being done. For a variant which is EXTREMELY MILD, has not killed a single person, and may not even have put anybody in hospital, we are going to defer other NHS treatments that really are NEEDED. This is like Nero fiddling as Rome burned, except that these latter day Neros are actually setting the fires!
    1
  19320. So lots of taxpayers' money was squandered keeping this man under surveillance. And the end result? He stabs 6 people and is then killed himself. Am I the only one that thinks it would be far better to shoot such extremists as soon as they are discovered?

  19321. Russians who fight for Ukraine aren't fighting against Russia. They are fighting against Russia's greatest enemy, Putin!

  19322. Looks like Trump was being very generous when he called Kim "Rocket Man". Love the picture with all the mask wankers.
    1
  19323. Just look at all those sheep wearing masks. I wonder if they really are stupid enough to believe in a zero-Covid strategy. The totally unnecessary measures in countries like the UK were mad enough, but Xi's policy takes insanity to a new level. Why are so many people unwilling to accept the simple fact the Sars-cov-2 only poses a serious threat to less than 1% of people, who are overwhelming very old and/or very sick?

  19330. Until the Iranian people stop bleating like sheep, and not fighting back, they are going to continue to be slaughtered like sheep. It really makes no difference how many sheep bleat, or how long the bleating goes on for. Dictators don't willingly relinquish power. You have to be prepared to FIGHT HARD to take back your freedom!
    1
  19331. Belarus's Fat Dictator will be very reluctant to send his own troops, or the Russian ones in his country, out of Belarus. Because this is all that's keeping him in power. Without their protection there's a good chance that he will be taken out and lynched!

    1
  19337. ​ @theopeterbroers819  Maybe, but the rise of 1.15% over 16 years can probably be reasonably attributed to an increase in obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. What do you think is the cause of the recent "astonishing" rise?
    1
  19338. If there were "reasonably rigorous checks" we wouldn't have 45% being awarded grade A or A*. Time and time again, our schools and teachers have proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that they cannot be trusted to grade GCSE and A-level exams. I have to say that I never went to university to enhance my job prospects. It was for the pure love of wanting to understand a lot more maths, chemistry and physics. Of course these are also incredibly useful subjects.
    1
  19339. Most people aren't very bright. So they don't appreciate that Putin is now backed into a corner, and NATO getting directly involved is probably exactly what he wants! He sold those backing him the idea of bending Ukraine to his will in next to no time, and with very little cost. The more this goes on, WITHOUT NATO OR OTHER COUNTRIES coming in to direct conflict with Russia, the more precarious his grip on power becomes.
    1
  19340. Let's not forget that many other European countries don't have much to brag about at the moment. Germany and Italy, to mention just two, are also staring recession in the face. Of course, the main cause of this in all these countries is the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, implemented for a virus that only posed a threat to under 1% of the population, who were mainly very old and/or very sick.

  19341. When food companies stop ripping people off for vegetarian products I'll eat more of them. It's currently considerably cheaper to buy good cuts of meat.

  19342. This is one of the best Christmas presents that Putin could have hoped for, and will certainly strengthen his position. While I don't like what the Republicans have done, Biden sacrificing Ukraine for the sake of those ILLEGALLY entering America is also very wrong.

  19347. While the virus itself would have done next to nothing to kids, government lockdowns and scaremongering have badly damaged the mental health of lots of them. Next time you see preschoolers watch carefully. You will see a lot of them hiding behind their parents. This senseless panicking has made them frightened of strangers. As you walk down your highstreet you will notice a significant number of school kids wearing masks. The government's spectacularly successful propaganda campaign has made these kids fear for their lives, when they have absolutely nothing to be afraid of. But by far the worst damage has been done by the cowardly closing of schools. Social interaction and learning is incredibly important for the developing brain. Though selfish cowards will never admit it, vast numbers of kids have had their mental health and development adversely affected by curtailing their time at school.
    1
  19348. This kind of clash is what Putin is betting his future on, and will strongly encourage him to dig his heels in, and others to keep supporting him. He hopes that if he can hold out for another year then the Republicans will win the presidency and pull support for Ukraine. I hope these Republicans are happy with him then invading Baltic states, and Emperor Xi invading Taiwan. That's what will definitely happen if Putin is allowed to win.
    1
  19349. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. If there is a peace deal and peacekeepers aren't sent to Ukraine Putin will definitely attack again with a couple of years.
    1
  19350. We need to give Ukraine cruise missiles that have the range to reach Moscow. It's only right and proper that if these are being used on Ukraine's capitol city then Ukraine should return the favour. Perhaps if Russia was given a really good taste of its own medicine it might decide to haul arse out of Ukraine!
    1
  19351. Nice to listen to a scientist who isn't one of the government's paid stooges. Isn't it incredible that despite several failed lockdowns the Downing Street Dictators still haven't learnt that they don't work. Well I guess that's what happens when people elect clowns with classics and PPE degrees.

  19352. Maybe this is because young people are more inclined to vote for a party they want, rather than vote for which out of Labour and Conservative they hate and fear the least: which is definitely how most older voters make their choice.

  19358. Nigel, you never ever humour an insane psychopath like Putin. Anything that upsets and embarrasses Putin is a really good thing. We definitely do not offer Putin a way out, because Russia already has a very easy way out, and one that will also save face. All Russia has to do is "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men" from power, blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine.
    1
  19359. John, most of us that aren't out to scaremonger are very optimistic. In fact plenty are predicting that Omicron might be our saviour. It will displace more dangerous variants, and very quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. In fact, rather than trying to stop this variant, we should be having Omicron parties! If I were a God fearing man I'd be strongly inclined to believe that this was his Christmas present to the world: and that those trying to stop this variant are doing Satan's bidding.
    1
  19360. As long as Ukrainians are prepared to fight Europe must double down on its support for Ukraine. If Putin is allowed to keep any territory at all, including Crimea, then he definitely will be back for more as soon as he has regrouped and rearmed. My bet would be on him attacking Moldova. Trump is definitely not going to give Europe "peace in our time"!

  19366. Unless you are a moronic despot then Omicron spreading like crazy is really good news. South African doctors have described it as EXTEMELY MILD. If it replaces more dangerous variants this would be a very good thing. But even better, it might quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. Maybe this is what Downing Street is so afraid of. That everybody will discover how they have lied about natural immunity, and loose their fear of this virus.
    1
  19367. Do you Australians really not understand that you have elected a bunch of despotic wankers to lord it over you. It's kind of what one would expect if one cleared out the guards in a prison and let the inmates run the show. Now, why might that be?😉

  19369. This is a win-win for Putin. He no longer has to spend money keeping these convicts alive. And before they become cannon fodder maybe some of them will infect Ukrainians.
    1
  19370. If you are not a despot, desperate to hang on to power, then you would want Omicron to spread. This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the strong possibility of quickly and SAFELY conferring herd immunity, and bringing this pandemic to an end.

  19373. Don't be pussy wiped by Mrs Woke.
    1
  19374. Well, I see the count has gone up from 23, when I last looked. Makes you wonder whether similar deaths have been hushed up in other countries. They would definitely be hush it up in the UK, because the Norway deaths haven't even merited a brief mention on our mainstream news channels. In the UK we also don't hear about 30,000 Italian businesses defying lockdown rules or 10,000 Austrians protesting against lockdown, on the streets of Vienna. The Nazis in Downing Street now have a very well oiled propaganda machine that Josef Goebbels would be extremely proud of.
    1
  19375. When will Ofcom go after YouTube? With its industrial scale removal of comments and likes it often gives people a massively distorted view of how prevalent certain opinions are. This kind of manipulation is highly disturbing and reprehensible, and Ofcom should deal with it first!

  19378. Those who aren't brainless gullible sheep might like to ask themselves this question: Why have we never seen a study showing what percentage of people who have a positive PCR test actually go on to develop covid-19. Those with a little more grey matter can probably guess the answer.
    1
  19379. That would be in bananas, to people like you.
    1
  19380. Boris would still be PM, with a good chance of winning the next election, if he had "let Covid rip" instead of capitulating to what Maggie would have called the "wets". There is no statistically significant correlation between lockdowns (or how severe they were) and death rates.
    1
  19381. If these leftie restriction and vaccine mandate cheerleading snowflakes had been around in 1930's Germany they would no doubt be parroting Goebbels' propaganda about how dangerous and disease ridden the Jews were: and staunchly supporting ghettos and concentration camps.

  19382. Am I the only one who has lost count of the number of times Iran vows revenge? Apart from the government's rent-a-mob, shouting "death to Israel, death to America" most Iranians will be secretly celebrating. I and many other Brits wouldn't shed any tears if the same fate befell the Iranian embassy in London.
    1
  19383. ​ @mrc3014  Sadly, I think this is quite common. You won't be held down and injected, but it does seem like the Downing Street dictators are hell bent on making life as difficult as possible for those who don't get vaccinated. Notice how it has to be a "vaccine" passport. Why not an immunity passport? This is what matters, not how you achieved immunity. By the way, tests are now available for long term immunity, due to things like memory T-cells, which persist after antibodies disappear. Notice how neither the government nor their media lackeys have mentioned these tests.

  19388. Please can we end this highly dishonest hysteria over India. Of course there are a lot more infections and deaths in India. But this is purely down to its truly massive population. Only the RATE per million is significant. In fact, even if India's government was only reporting one tenth of cases India would still be doing a LOT BETTER than many other countries, including the UK.

  19390. We are dealing with a mad megalomaniac who thought that Ukrainians would just role over and give him a blitzkrieg victory. Unfortunately mad dogs like Putin can't bear losing face, no matter what the cost to the Russian people. Surely at least one of his generals or bodyguards must love their children enough to put this rabid dog down?
    1
  19391. I have a bright lad, whom I tutor, studying maths, further maths and chemistry. He has always said he wanted to take medicine and become a doctor. Today he asked me what would be involved in studying mathematics. I can't help wondering if a lot of the reason for this is because of the appalling way rubbish like Steve Barclay has treated our doctors. I'll bet this worthless waste of space, that the world would be better off without, earns a lot more than our doctors who do so much good.

    1
  19394. You know what else causes lots and lots of runny noses, at this time of year? Hay fever. The most important thing to remember is that most people who now get covid-19 are young, and shrug it off more easily than a bad cold. Are we going to shut things down for something like a cold? The cancellation of June 21 was an act of pure unadulterated cowardice.

  19396. That film should now be shown precisely because we cannot allow our basic freedoms to be circumscribed by a few superstitious and violent nut jobs. I'm sick of minorities trying to tell us how we can conduct our lives. But I'm even sicker of those who acquiesce to them. If you don't like the way things are in this country then f**k off and go live in another one that's more to your taste!

  19397. What wokes never understand is that when you are dealing with power crazed tyrants the ballot box and diplomacy NEVER work. A tyrant only regards these as a sign of weakness. The ONLY way to deal with a tyrant is a bullet through the head: or the equivalent.

  19399. Well I guess with Russia denying murdering civilians, left right and centre, despite lots of video evidence to prove it, Putin would find the TRUTH unacceptable. What's really unacceptable is having a psychopathic madman ruling a country.

  19400. UK taxes well spent!

  19401. Putin is probably rotting away with Parkinson's, and so doesn't care if he gets nuked, but I'm guessing that those who can get to him are a little less sanguine. Anyone playing with a full deck knows beyond all doubt that it Russia nukes a NATO city all of it's cities will be annihilated minutes later!
    1
  19402. Putin's worthless life now depends on success in Ukraine: of course he's afraid.
    1
  19403. The point is to provide a whitewash for the government. A serious enquiry would ask, in the light of Sweden's experience, whether there should ever have been any insanely damaging lockdowns. Several recent reputable studies have concluded that they were totally ineffective! An honest enquiry, in the light of the continuing large number of excess deaths, would ask whether most people should ever have been vaccinated, and why, in the face of strong scientific evidence, the government still persists in denying how good natural immunity is.

  19404. One would think that by far the safest course of action is for the elites to get rid of Putin before he gets rid of them.

  19408. These drones didn't have the range to fly all the way from Ukraine, and would certainly have been detected and intercepted a long way from Moscow. They were launched near Moscow by Putin's own FSB goons. Putin has a good solid record of false flag attacks on his own people, in order to frighten them into supporting him: and he really doesn't care if he kills a few.

  19409. Well, Mullins helped the scaremongering by supporting totally unnecessary vaccination. Also, good plumbers should be working for themselves rather than fattening this man's wallet.

    1
  19415. Well, Putin certainly won't be attending in most capitals, because he would be immediately arrested. Then again, lasting peace while Putin remains in power is exceedingly unlikely. He will simply regroup and attack again. As for new weapons, Ukraine's offensive mustn't be delayed. It's better to kick your opponent when he's down then allow him to make it back to his corner and freshen up. It would be a tragedy if the Orcs were given an opportunity to regroup and resupply.

  19419. For peace no negotiations are needed. All Putin has to do is pull his Orcs out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea, and stop attacking it. It really is that simple. Of course, with what this war has cost Russia it's now become existential for Putin to show some kind of victory. So there is zero chance of peace while he remains in power.
    1
  19420. Not can't, won't! If a similar strategy to Australia was used, with illegals being whisked straight off to a bleak Scottish island, with no hope of ever setting foot on the mainland, then these crossings would have stopped ages ago. But Sunak and his cabinet are too bloody spineless and stupid to copy Australia. Instead they want to squander the taxpayers' money sending illegals to nice tropical Rwanda or Ascension island.

  19422. Xi Jinping has been watching Poo Tin's efforts to become a 21st century tsar, and carefully gauging the West's and NATO's resolution to defend the independence of Ukraine. No doubt he would like to be China's 21st century emperor. So Pelosi's visit sends a strong message that Taiwan's independence matters to the civilized world, just like Ukraine's does.

  19428. Right at the very start the REAL experts told government that lockdowns would cause immense damage, but be ineffective. Instead they recommended just isolating the most vulnerable until NATURAL herd immunity developed. This advice was later published in the Great Barrington Declaration. The government willfully ignored this advice, which has proven to be spot on. Being the kind of people they are they would rather cause far more damage than ever admit to their colossal cock up. And the British public don't want to admit that they have been taken for complete suckers.

  19431. 1. A positive PCR test only proves that a bit of the sars-cov-2 virus has been found in your mucus. This is not the same thing as having covid-19. 2. Even less so, dying within 28 days of a positive test in no way proves that you died of covid-19. The annual UK death rate is about 650,000. That's about 1, 083,000 over 20 months. So even if the 137,000 was correct, which it's not, it isn't at all bad. And let's not forget that most real covid-19 deaths would have been in people who would have died soon anyway.
    1
  19432. Thousands of lockdowns worldwide have conclusively proven that they DON'T WORK. People have had enough of seeing their freedoms and liberty violated, by corrupt politicians and policemen, for no good reason.

  19442. Unless this is a cunning plan to draw as many Russian troops into the Ukrainian meat grinder as possible, but at terrible cost to Ukraine, then Ukraine has definitely not been given anywhere near enough of the heavy armaments it needs to make Russia bleed a lot more.

  19443. So to quote Tyrion, from Game of Thrones. If I die with my cock in a mouth, and a glass of wine in my hand, does this mean that the said mouth, or the glass of wine, was responsible for my death? Isn't it truly miraculous? Omicron has been in South Africa for well over a month, yet are very own Boris gets to announce the very first death that it has caused in the entire world.

  19445. Here's the deal Putin. Ukraine is a lot nearer than Syria, and many Ukrainians speak perfect Russian, and can easily pass as Russian. So you use chemical weapons on Ukrainians, and some of them are going to set off the same at rush hour in your Moscow metros!
    1
  19446. I fully expect that within a few months of Washington's withdrawal that the Taliban will overrun the country. They will no doubt torture and murder anyone who doesn't embrace Sharia law with unbounded enthusiasm, and the status and rights of women will be less than that of livestock.

    1
  19449. Das ist absoluter Blödsinn. Ein NATO-Land anzugreifen bedeutet, mit allen in den Krieg zu ziehen. Auch die Familien seiner Generäle sind bisher von Putins Wahnsinn verschont geblieben. Sie werden ihre Vernichtung nicht riskieren, indem sie Putin erlauben, Atomwaffen einzusetzen.

  19455. When the military takes over a country like this it is waging war against its own people. As such people should fight back. They may not have tanks and guns, but whenever one or two soldiers are separated from their squad they should be knifed in the back, have their meal or drink poisoned, or killed in whatever way possible. This is the ONLY effective way to deal with something like this. There are far more civilians than soldiers. If just one in ten civilians killed a soldier then the problem would soon be over. Oppression is the price of not fighting back!

In fact when you look at our cabinet it's like watching a gang of nasty little boys, who aren't very bright, squabbling about who should be leader of the gang.
    1
  19466. Well, if they don't like it, and don't want to die, the solution is simple. They should shoot their officers, take their dog tags to show as a sign of goodwill, and surrender to Ukrainian forces. That's what I would do.

  19467. Putin is a rabid psychopath. It's in everybody's interest, including those in Russia, for him to be removed from power, by any means. What Biden said was absolutely correct and requires no walking back on.

  19468. Javid is probably gambling that by April most governments will be forced to acknowledge that natural immunity is rock solid, long lasting, and must be accepted in lieu of getting jabbed. The evidence is already incontrovertible, and growing all the time. So this measure will be revoked before it ever takes effect. Sadly that doesn't mean that many doctors and nurses won't decide to jump ship well before April Fool's Day.

  19474. This is precisely why the government won't end the license. Because when push comes to shove the BBC says exactly what the government wants them to say, and vigorously censors anything the government doesn't want us to know about. Those of us who were even a little bit numerate and had found out the IFR for Covid-19 knew from the start that deaths due to Covid-19 were inflated by a factor of AT LEAST 5.

  19478. So true. You can walk down a UK street waving a Swastika and singing "from the river to the sea". But wear a T-shirt with a picture of Mohamed on it, which is completely legal, and you will quickly be jumped by a posse of police.

  19480. So we MIGHT have 2 billion doses of vaccine by the end of 2021. What we DO have is a highly connected world. So, what should morons like Boris and Hancock take a way from this? Even for imbeciles like these it should be blindingly obvious that every time the infection numbers are brought down, and restrictions are relaxed, they WILL increase again. And keeping restrictions in place is NOT sustainable. As from the start, they need to be looking at the sensible Swedes. The ONLY logical course of action is to get everything back to normal, but step up isolation for those who are vulnerable, and give all of them any vaccine that might be produced first. Only a complete cretin can fail to see this.

They have been forced to wear masks, and have had their education and friends stolen from them. Not even their parents have stood up for them. Sorry Marilyn, but if people have been complacent, or even cheering on, what's been done to kids during this pandemic, do you really think most will care in the least what goes on in care homes?

  19488. Most of us will mark it like France or Belgium might mark their invasion by the Nazis. What we need to mark is the wholesale rape of our freedom and liberty, which is still going on! The advice given by a group of eminent international scientists, in the Great Barrington Declaration, should have been followed. Only the most vulnerable should have been isolated. The other 999 in 1000 should not have been sacrificed for that other 1 in 1000. Just look at how the Swedes have enjoyed life throughout this fiasco. And even a year on their death rate is significantly lower than that in the UK. And don't believe the liars and morons that try to convince you that it's down to population density. Most deaths happen in similarly densely populated cities, not among the reindeer in Sweden's virtually empty artic regions.
    1
  19489. Putin's fat puppet knows, especially after Kursk, that Putin won't come to his rescue. So it's unlikely he will send his army out of the country, as he needs them close by to prevent the Belarusian people dragging him out and lynching him. He has probably been pressured by his master to try and lure Ukrainian troops away from where the real action is, but moving troops to the border is probably as much as he dares to do.

  19493. I have to say when I saw pictures of those fleeing the Taliban advance I understood why America, and its allies, wanted out. Many of those fleeing women weren't just (voluntarily) wearing burkas, they even had a mesh covering their eyes. You wouldn't know there was a human being underneath. I can't see the Taliban attacking these women. Not only were they doing exactly what the Taliban command, but they were going the extra mile! And then we have lots of fit young men fleeing. If they aren't prepared to fight then why should Americans and British fight for them? Show me women dressed normally and men prepared to defend their freedom and loved ones. Only then should we even consider asking our lads to risk their lives.

  19500. Am I the only one to notice that we aren't told how long after vaccination these infections occur. This leads me to believe that it might be almost immediately after, which doesn't give the vaccine the time needed to kick in. If this is the case then this is just more scaremongering, pure and simple. We also need to note well that there has been a concerted effort to frighten people by just quoting raw numbers rather than RATE, which is what really matters. Today the figure quoted for India is just 127 per million, which is TINY compared to most countries: that for the UK is 1908 per million.

  19503. Governments are not prepared to admit that the handling of sars-cov-2 represents one of the biggest screw-ups in human history. There is now no question whatsoever that the advice given by the REAL experts right at the start, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, should have been followed. ONLY the most vulnerable should have been isolated, and this virus should have been allowed to rip through the rest of the population, to whom it posed a miniscule risk, generating natural herd immunity.

  19509. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that Macron's sole interest is in boosting his own prestige and power. In trying to do this he has deluded himself into thinking he is an outstanding statesman. In the same way that Putin compares himself to the tsars, and Xi compares himself to the emperors, Macron sees himself as a latter day Louis XIV or Napoleon.
    1
  19510. Anyone who genuinely believes that Putin desires peace is intensely stupid. So I don't think calling for Putin to come to the negotiating table is either a help or a hinderance. But trying to put together a strong military alliance that will stand up to Putin is a very wise move, because only the fear of strong military retaliation will discourage further attacks by this psychopathic maniac.

  19511. Josef Goebbels would be immensely proud of this government's propaganda campaign to scare people. This is a virus that kills about 1 or 2 in a 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. The "anyone can get it" is about as convincing as the lottery's "anyone can win": or at least it should be. And my other favourite is convincing people that you can get covid-19 more than once, or if you are fully vaccinated. Once again think winning the lottery. Out of millions upon millions there are hardly any cases of this happening, except in rare instances of people who are immunocompromised. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. The Gurkhas have a motto: "better to die than live as a coward!"

  19512. Maybe more people are coming to their senses. If you live in a city, as so many do, you probably don't really need a car. Add up the cost of purchase, plus yearly tax, MOT, insurance, and fuel. Many will find that alternative transport saves them a lot of money.

  19524. Exactly. They refuse to arrest those illegally obstructing our highways, yet they acted like Nazi stormtroopers against the peaceful and legal Sarah Everard vigil that wasn't inconveniencing anyone.

  19525. Terrified? To me he is just a cantankerous old git, probably with some early dementia.

  19527. Just look at the faces of the vast majority that are on these marches. That tells you all you need to know about them. They hate Jews, and they hate them even more because decent people in this country recognize what a valuable contribution they make to British society: unlike the marchers who just take from our country, and yet still despise our values.

  19531. Is there any evidence that those who are infected with the Delta variant wouldn't simply be infected with another variant, if it weren't there? NO! Is there any evidence that the Delta variant is any more deadly than other variants? NO! Move along folks, nothing to see, and get excited about, here.
    1
  19532. Of course, if the South Korean government hadn't deprived these young people of their parties for the previous 2 years the crowds wouldn't have been anywhere near as big. Once again we are seeing deaths due to totally unnecessary lockdowns, over a virus that posed no threat to over 99% of the population.
    1
  19533. The current issue of Scientific America does a long article on maintaining nukes. It's complicated and bloody expensive. So in ultra corrupt Russia this is unlikely to have been done, and it's very questionable how many of their nukes would detonate. In the unlikely event that money was even allocated for this it was probably blown on vodka, and the paperwork falsified.
    1
  19534. Just how incredibly dumb do you have to be to believe that 25% of the working age population is too sick to work? Even one third of this figure would be beyond credibility. Benefit fraud is sucking the very lifeblood out of this country, and there is an existential need to put an end to it!
    1
  19535. Why does anyone bother to interview this vile creature. He would put his own mother on the street to turn tricks, if it advanced his career. This is why so many Tories are reluctant to oust Boris, because having someone like Gove would be infinitely worse.

    1
  19538. Let's look at what's happening. First the government tells people that it will screw up their holidays abroad unless they get vaccinated. There's hardly a bleat from the sheep, so now it's moving on to nightclubs. It's like delinquent boys pushing the boundaries. The more they get away with the more they will try. People who are at very low risk from covid-19 really do need to remember that, despite the lies we really have no idea what the long term consequences of some of these vaccines might be. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES! For the record I've a little yellow book with 20 or more vaccination stamps in it, for vaccines I deliberately spent time and money getting, and I can see myself adding to these. So there's no way I'm anti-vaccine. I simply do not think the long term safety of these mRNA vaccines has been proven.

    1
  19541. Well, Eva Brown loved Hitler.
    1
  19542. If that million dollar bounty was massively increased, and coupled with the offer of a new identity, then maybe someone (who loves his children) who can get close to Putin would do Russia and the rest of the world a massive favour and put this rabid dog down.
    1
  19543. ​ @oliver556  So true. The government is letting the major banks rob people blind when it comes to paying interest on savings. A financial overseer was meant to be dealing with this from the start of August, but nothing has happened so far, and I'm not holding my breath.
    1
  19544. So what. Other missiles previously launched have caused far more damage than this ICBM. Yet again we have a pathetic attempt by a very frightened little man to scare Ukraine's supporters.
    1
  19545. The good thing about being in the office is you get to talk to cynical old bastards like me, who know all of managements' dirty tricks, and will warn you about them. Of course you might also pick up some great technical tips and knowledge too.😊
    1
  19546. Just when you thought you couldn't see anything dumber.
    1
  19547. Like asking "is the Pope a Catholic". For that fair percentage of chronically lazy and irresponsible lockdown and the scaremongering propaganda has been the gift that just keeps on giving. Companies haven't hesitated to play the covid-19 card as an excuse to give even worse service than they used to. And there's no shortage of people happy to self isolate so that the don't have to get out of bed until the afternoon.
    1
  19548. You don't have to be young to be an anti-Semite!
    1
  19549. Well, I've been saying it for ages now. If you just bleat like a sheep then you get slaughtered like a sheep. Not a single cleric or Revolutionary Guard has died. In stark contrast, about 500 protestors, that we know of, have now been murdered. Also over 18,000 have been arrested, many of whom are now being tortured, and will subsequently be murdered. The ONLY to win your freedom from despots is to FIGHT for it, because they NEVER willingly relinquish power.

  19550. I'd be less embarrassed to have a public attack of diarrhea than be seen to be duped by an idiot like Putin.

  19551. This garçon de maman, with his lockdowns and vaccine mandates, has treated the French people worse than the occupying Nazis did. Re-electing Herr Macron is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
    1
  19552. This is the consequence of giving safe haven to anti-Semitic terroists!
    1
  19553. Antisemitism has been part of student unions for decades. These immature boys and girls are complete suckers for the "poor Palestinian" line. They completely forget about rockets being launched into civilian areas in Israel, or that Israel has had to fight really hard for its existence. I'm sure many of them believe that Auschwitz was the Butlins of its day. I can even recall accounts of student unions hosting Iranian Revolutionary Guards and making donations to them.

  19554. Well done that man, though I'd have liked to have seen Herr Macron hit by a steaming piece of pig shit.

  19556. Not true. It totaled our economy and buggered the hell out of young people's education and mental health.
    1
  19557. So, Aussies, if you want your freedom back be prepared to sacrifice yourself and your children to the needle. It doesn't matter that the vast majority don't need vaccination. It doesn't matter that these vaccines haven't had years of testing. We don't ask sheep in the abattoir whether they want to be there.
    1
  19558. I used to think Sunak was one of the decent MPs, but how wrong I was. First he cheats the OAPs out of their "triple lock", which they are desperately going to need. Now he is defending the indefensible. The ONLY people who say they believe Boris are those with serious mental health issues or people who are as dishonest, and lacking in decency, as he is.
    1
  19559. Lockdowns, and mass treatment with experimental vaccines, were both massive government failings. The Sars-cov-2 virus only ever posed a threat to about 0.3% of the population, and natural immunity, after having it, is absolutely brilliant.

  19567. Despite what the Kremlin trolls and Putin fanboys would like you to believe, most Ukrainian grain goes to countries that either support Putin or refuse to condemn him. So why should we worry if this grain no longer gets to them? Maybe when they start to starve, as a direct result of Putin's actions, they will reconsider why they are supporting him.
    1
  19568. Yes what's happening in Canada is an affront to democracy, and Trudeau, and his supporters, ought to be lynched. However Canada doesn't yet have "well camps". I wonder what euphemism Hitler used for his camps.

  19570.  @peggym3183  I said "it's hard to believe". If this is not the case then it's way past time that most of these rabid clerics, and their followers, started dying in dark allies. You only end things like this by taking up arms!

And don't hold your breath for him to challenge the CHEATING of our often very poor OAPs out of their "triple lock", whose pension rise is now going to be well below inflation.

  19579. No doubt Putin sold this campaign as being a walk in the park, that would be over almost as soon as it started. Now he is like a desperate gambling addict doubling down repeatedly. What the West is gambling on is that his bankers won't advance him the nuclear collateral, before telling him his credit is up.

  19580. If there was a God there wouldn't be rabid animals like Putin!

  19581. I've lost count of the number of posts suggesting that ALL face coverings be banned. They are beloved of criminals, and the vast majority of people would support such a law. But the government isn't even considering doing this.

  19582. If China really wants an end to the war it's simple. Invite Putin over, on the pretext of giving him lots of goodies to help his genocide. Then arrange for him to have an accident or simply shoot him: most of the world want mind.

    1
  19585. If Downing Street hadn't spent 2 years scarring people shitless over a very innocuous virus then it might be a lot easier to encourage more of them to abandon their cars and use public transport. In London the fear factor is being maintained by still requiring masks on public transport.

  19595. You know what, Nigel, the New Zealand Herald did a YouTube video on this, but guess what? Yes, the comments are turned off. I wonder why this is? It's a bit like people who never grow up and continue to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Dumb-ass politicians in NZ and Oz really do believe that they can sustain zero covid-19. Mind you it's extremely funny to watch from abroad. No so funny for the inmates, but they deserve it for not making a stand against this lunacy.

  19596. Even without these changes lots of companies have done exceedingly well by not employing Brits. Take a look at software houses. A lot of them now run sweatshops in India, rather than employing Brits in the UK to develop software.

  19597. When the BBC censored everything that the government didn't want us to hear about during the Covid panic I realised that they were totally untrustworthy and needed to be defunded.

  19598. Thanks for a well needed fast response. I seem to recall the Hong Kong scientists being very cautious in their statement. For the Netherlands I think there was mention of the patients having impaired immune systems. The very small fraction of the population that isn't innumerate will realize that 3 cases in 23 million really is statistically insignificant. It's sad, and very perverse, how the press and a high percentage of people seem determined not to believe in either long term immunity or the negligible threat that this virus poses to probably 99% (or more) of the population. I didn't used to believe Josef Goebbels' comment about a lie being repeated often enough, but now I do. If he had been responsible for those standing behind the podiums in Downing Street, for months, I think he would have been immensely proud of the outcome.

  19603. With never ending 6 monthly boosters on the horizon, it's more important than ever for people to learn the truth about NATURAL IMMUNITY: 1. It's vastly better than these vaccines. 2. It lasts longer. In fact, it may well last for life. 3. There's no significant advantage to getting vaccinated if you have natural immunity. Also if you are young covid-19 poses a negligible threat to you. Don't be a vaccine schmuck!

Neither the Tories or Labour have the slightest intention of changing this. It's time for people to show a little courage and intelligence and vote Reform UK.

  19607. A strong Chinese characteristic is not liking to "lose face". So the Chinese leadership will definitely not be enjoying being seen, by most of the world, as siding with the bad guy. Also, China is one of the world's biggest exporters, and people with war on their minds make lousy consumers.

  19612. To anyone who isn't a complete retard it's obvious that by far the greatest beneficiaries of lockdowns are rich old bastards. Although the risk to most of them is still very low, it is greater than it is for the vast majority, and they can use their money to buy their way out of the suffering that lockdown has inflicted on those who are poorer.
    1
  19613. People like me keep proposing a relatively cheap and highly effective deterrent, but our spineless, useless government won't do it. Simply set up some Nissen huts on the wettest, coldest, most remote Scottish island you can find. Take the illegals straight there, as soon as they land, and make sure this is well publicised. I absolutely guarantee you will see a rapid drop in dinghy boys.
    1
  19614. The politics of envy and jealousy. Many people, who aren't by any means wealthy, have a modest property because, unlike Angela Rayner they, and their parents, didn't squander money on regularly going abroad and spending their nights in nightclubs!

This, despite having REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, who would have strongly backed him not having any lockdowns. If he had kept his bottle he would now be a hero PM, with the Conservatives set for a decisive victory.

In the last two years more dinghy boys have come over than the number of troops brought over by both Julius Caesar and William the Conqueror. So describing this as an invasion is totally apt.

  19637. First we had someone arrested for holding a poster saying exactly what the government has said: "Hamas are terrorists". Now we have a policeman saying something we would only have expected to hear in Nazi Germany, or a Nazi occupied country. Did Rowley sack anyone for these outrages? No! Rowley has to go. The Home Secretary has the power to sack him and should do so. And the evil policeman who made such a shocking remark must also go.

  19643. Only those who are scientifically illiterate would believe such complete nonsense. Firstly, generating this kind of laser power is much harder than producing a light pointer. Secondly, the intervening air absorbs so much energy that using such weapons over a distance just isn't worthwhile unless you are trying to take out a nuke. Even then the practicality is very questionable.

  19644. Sadly what Patrick is saying is bang on. Parasitic managers and admin staff in the NHS are it's very own virulent cancer, that is sucking the lifeblood out of it. People should pay for their own headache tablets. Also, I would really like to see a £10 fee for every self initiated doctor's appointment, as this would get rid of the hypochondriacs and time wasters. Another excellent idea, which I have first hand experience of from New Zealand, is that you pay for your ambulance call out. When I had a kidney stone, that landed me in hospital for the day, I still had to pay for the genuinely needed ambulance. I didn't mind because it meant that ambulances are available for those who actually need them.

With an IFR of just 0.3%, and fatalities mainly among the very old and/or very sick, there was no scientific justification for them. But allowing the government to make themselves very unpopular was much more important to Starmer than the wellbeing of the British people.

  19656. Putin knows that his generals aren't prepared to see their families and loved ones taken out in return. This speech is to calm down those (well some of them) who are thinking of "removing" him.

  19658. ​ @pearsonfrank  you are just another disingenuous snowflake. I was using the analogy in regard to how people felt about things with similar outcomes, or are you really too stupid to appreciate that. And too much job loss or education loss is very bad for the community.

  19661. Charles Darwin would, like myself and many others, have given an instant explanation as to why a more infectious variant has arisen. It's a direct result of the lockdowns and other restrictions imposed by this retarded government. Although even a fool can see how stupid and futile these measures are they do put selective pressure on this virus that favours mutations that can spread more easily. If Blow Job and Hancock had followed the advice given in the Great Barrington Declaration then this variant would probably never have gotten the upper hand in this country. The blame for this happening lies squarely at Downing Street's and (not so) SAGE's door: and of course all the snowflake morons in the UK that support the government's measures.

  19675. ​ @jennywillow9850  Most international schools offer IGCSE for younger students and I.B. Diploma for older ones. The first is much the same as GCSE and the second is better than A-levels. I've taught in several international schools. As to moving around I once knew a young lady whose dad was in the FCO. She seemed to have had a great time being moved all over the world.

  19678. It really is way past time that people started fighting to take back their rights from these tyrants. Despite what the JCVI have said, and research showing that natural immunity is better than vaccine induced immunity, Downing Street is still going after people's kids. Remember Boris saying that steps out of lockdown would be IRREVOCABLE? Well a new lockdown is being planned for October! If you want to see just how bad things can get when you keep giving in to tyrants just look at Australia. This once free country now looks like it's under Nazi occupation. Though to be fair, most people under Nazi occupation enjoyed greater freedom.

In my day my fees were paid, I got a grant, and I even had my travel to university paid. Today's students get none of this, and on top of it they are being cheated out of their lectures and everything else that is an important part of the university experience. Why does society care so little about its children and young people?

All they did was cause a lot of pain and misery, and wreck both the economy and the NHS. By the way, the vast majority of masks have also been shown to be totally ineffective.

Let's be clear this abusive relationship isn't the kind where the husband just verbally criticizes his wife from time to time, it's the kind where he regularly beats the living crap out of her. Millions of young people have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. Those who are more mentally fragile have also been pushed over the edge by the government's constant barrage of lying propaganda that is specifically designed to really frighten people into obedience. Add to this all the jobs and businesses that the government has destroyed. We need a Nuremberg style trial for those in Downing Street and all the back benchers who supported them.
    1
  19707. Putin murdered people in London, with polonium and nerve agents, who had caused him much less grief than Prigozhin. If Putin remains in power I doubt Prigozhin's life expectancy is very long, or for that matter most of his Wagner Group soldiers. To paraphrase a famous TV series: "when you play the game of tsars you win or die".

  19708. The only civilians with anything to fear are the filthy collaborators!

  19709. Putin can barely handle what's happening now in Ukraine. That's why he's terrified of NATO putting boots on the ground in Ukraine: which is totally in accord with international law, if they are invited by Zelensky. It's another pathetic bluff by a very frightened little man, who couldn't possibly handle a war on more fronts.
    1
  19710. What these police did was abhorrent and despicable, but a jail sentence was totally inappropriate, and and absolutely nothing to do with justice. Years ago a friend of mine enjoying herself on an ice rink had her nose broken by a yob. All he got was a derisory fine. Sorry, but I consider breaking a young lady's nose as much more serious. As well as losing their jobs, heavy fines and community service would have been the correct punishment. Taking away someone's liberty is a barbaric thing to do, and should only be done to protect the public or when there is repeat offending that demonstrates the ineffectiveness of other sanctions.

  19712. Not only knives, but religion has no place in schools. It's high time we stopped pandering to this superstitious nonsense.

  19726. The REAL covid experts warned against lockdowns and restrictions on medical grounds. Many Tory backbenchers and lots of others warned against them on economic grounds, predicting exactly the kind of economic disaster we are now facing. But Boris and his government didn't have the courage to follow Sweden, and the people of this country let themselves be frightened by the likes of Witless Whitty. People are now reaping the reward for their stupidity and cowardliness.

Far more Russian soldiers have died than they have been told about. 3. From the warm welcome given to the Wagner Group in Rostov, Putin is nowhere near as popular as they have been led to believe.

  19736. I don't know how these bloody charities have the effrontery! If they are good enough for our troops, who risk their lives for us then they are certainly good enough for illegals who shouldn't even be in this country. What kind of mentally enfeebled woke gives money to such charities?

  19748. Only those as stupid and incompetent as the Russian military could fail to realise what a joke most people consider their propaganda videos to be.

For decades successive governments have been encouraging illegal aliens, with crazy policies that often treat illegals better than their own needy citizens.

  19756. This government also has little or no regard for the welfare of those they are meant to serve. They have already destroyed countless jobs and businesses. They have buggered the hell out of the education and mental health of our young people. And for what? In terms of infections we are as badly, if not worse, off than we were two years ago. The only difference is that we now also have to bear the insane amount of damage done by the government. When are people going to learn that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK? When are people going to look at all those happy Swedes, and realise that they got it right. Now for a variant that is EXTREMELY MILD, and (contrary to Boris's LIES) hasn't killed a single person in the entire world, Downing Street want's to repeat what has failed time and time again. But the most laughable part of all is that if left to itself there is a very real possibility that Omicron might quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  19757. That we are all going to die from climate change is not a certainty. However, what is a certainty is that if the shit really does hit the climate fan then it's people Greta's age that are going to drown in it. Old bastards like me, Paul Murray and Nigel Farage will be dead and buried. But more importantly so will all the scumbag politicians at COP26 who really are just there for the blah, blah, blah. By the way, it's a very common cheap shot to label those who say things we don't want to hear as disturbed.

  19761. While I doubt that it had anything to do with Amess's murder, politics in this country has been very badly tarnished by the government's handling of covid-19. People have seen their freedoms and liberties seriously violated. They have seen the government propaganda machine lying through it's teeth, and suppressing all news that showed people not supporting it's measures, or that would cause them to question them. And the vast majority of MPs have wholeheartedly supported Downing Street in this. Is it therefore any wonder that trust and empathy for politicians is at an all time low?

  19763. Despotic Nazis like Dan Andrews rely on people stopping screaming and bitching. People mustn't let tyrants like this get away with it. They also mustn't let police, who have acted like Gestapo pigs get away with their truly deplorable behaviour. Most people know if they have a pig living on their street, so when he hasn't got his riot gear on, and mates around him, they should make him squeal. Of course, someone needs to make Dan Andrews squeal a whole lot louder.

  19764. With it's handling of news related to this pandemic, I think all of us who aren't seriously mentally challenged are now well aware of what an incredibly dishonest organisation the BBC is. They have suppressed and censored vast amounts of news that would have upset their government masters had they reported it. So it should come as no surprise when past deceits are dug up. It's time for a referendum on whether or not most of us want to pay a license to fund the BBC. If it's so bloody good then it won't have any trouble attracting lots of sponsorship and advertising. And if it isn't then why should we be forced to fund a channel that only the minority now watch?

  19768. If Putin's generals weren't afraid of falling out of windows they would probably ask for all forces to be withdrawn from Ukraine. They know that NATO will never let them win, that the Ruble is going down the toilet like an unwanted turd, and that Luna-25 probably crashed for want of sanctioned parts. Of course, a general who actually cares about Russia, has some ambition, and some loyal troops, should consider "removing" Putin. Few would mourn him after the fact!

  19769. The stupidity and gullibility of so many people really amazes me. Let's take one well known example. Starmer has tested positive 6 times. It's very unlikely he has had covid-19 more than once, and the probability that he has had it more than twice is negligible. If his case is representative then we are talking about tests which probably over report covid-19 infections by AT LEAST a factor of 4. But then many doctors and scientists warned that the PCR was never intended to be (mis)used in this way.

  19775. Possibly the best aid Israel could render, which would also help itself, would be for Mossad to infiltrate the demonstrations in Iran, and take out some of the clerics and their henchmen, which might give ordinary Iranians the encouragement they need to overthrow the mad mullahs. Then Putin wouldn't get anymore drones: and the nuclear bomb development would also end.

Amazing! the bed-wetting Germans are happy to build a pipeline that runs for thousands of miles, yet in the last 6 months they have made BUGGER ALL effort to get any of their nuclear power stations up and running again.

  19781. Wake up people! The government is desperately grasping, at the flimsiest of straws, for an excuse to bring back masks. And if they think the public will let them get away with it they will cancel Christmas too. This should be called the Fluffy Kitten variant, because it is so innocuous. South Africa doctors have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact, with these rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines proving to be not that effective this is the perfect opportunity to let what is essentially a harmless variant give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. A hot off the press Harvard study has just found that NOBODY who recovered from covid-19 suffered reinfection!

  19786. People should find this REALLY interesting, especially if they have recovered from covid-19: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3wBC8wr3VQ Those who trust their governments should pay very close attention to this doctor's comments about the studies in Israel, Cleveland and Kentucky. Particularly concerning is the way governments ignored the first two, that were far more reliable, but really pushed the far less reliable Kentucky study.

  19788. People need constant reminding about the 28 days caveat. If I test positive and get axe murdered 3 weeks later then my death will be recorded as being due to covid-19. Most of these deaths were almost certainly NOT due to covid-19. Perhaps if someone dies within 28 days of being vaccinated then we should blame the vaccination for the death. It's just as logical, but I don't think Downing Street will be rushing to compile and release such statistics.

You have to look at both the resources needed to build these cars, and how the electricity is generated. The BEST green policy is to wean (or force) most people off private car ownership and motoring. Of course, as so much of the economy, and taxes, revolve around cars this is very unlikely to happen.

  19794. When, just like the Kremlin covering up the Ukraine war, our government was covering up the thousands of massive anti-lockdown demonstrations, Russia Today was one of the few reliable sources telling us what was really going on. The trouble with our much vaunted democracy is that we are free to hear what the government wants us to hear about, and say what the government wants us to say. Those of us who don't fall into line may not disappear, but we are often very effectively silenced!

  19796. Putin isn't the only one hoping that "Western patience dries up". Emperor Xi is watching with the utmost interest. If Western unity and resolve is broken then this will be his green light to invade Taiwan. It's therefore imperative, and not just for Europe, that Putin is not allowed to win. He has already caused the death of around 200,000 Russians. If they continue to die at the current rate then maybe Russians' patience with him will dry up.

  19797. Looking at the schools poll I see that Australians are just as willing to sacrifice their children as people in the UK are. This virus poses a NEGLIGIBLE threat to kids, and a really tiny one to most of their teachers. Any decent nation would put the welfare of its young people first and keep schools running normally. It's amazing what incredibly cowardly and selfish societies we now have in so many countries. Listening to the rest of this and who is worse off, there really is absolutely no question that lockdown is being driven by selfish old bastards, who are making young people pay very dearly for whatever small benefit might accrue to them. Again, it's the same in so many countries.

  19798. Neil that's why government has UK mainstream media vigorously suppressing news of anti-lockdown and anti forced vaccination protests, both here and abroad. Downing Street don't want the great unwashed getting ideas. I wonder how many Brits know what's been going on in Melbourne for the past week. If Dan Andrews took a well deserved bullet I wonder whether even that would make prime time TV.

  19799. For the good of America, and indeed the whole world, Biden needs to hand over the reigns to his vice president. Biden staying in charge is handing the next presidency to Trump on a plate.

  19806. The REAL cause of our current economic woes is the totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions that were implemented earlier. This isn't hindsight as many like me forecast exactly this kind of thing right from the start. Among those many were a large number of Tory backbenchers, who strongly opposed these insane measures throughout. HOWEVER, they could never have been implemented without the unstinting support of Kier Starmer and his Labour minions!

  19809. Ukraine is an independent country. As such it has an inviolable right to invite the SAS or NATO onto it's soil. The Ukraine is NOT part of Russia, so mad dog Putin doesn't say who comes or goes and what weapons it gets. Mad dog is getting really desperate, as he suffers humiliation after humiliation. It can't be too long now before he is "removed" from power.

  19810. Nigel, I'll tell you exactly why so many schools and teachers would love to ditch A-level exams. It's because when they are properly graded they provide a very strong metric for judging how good schools and their teachers are. In Enfield, where I live there are only four decent state schools within miles: Woodhouse College, St. Michael's Catholic Grammar School, Latymer, and Dame Alice Owen. When there are proper exams, their A-level grades absolutely wipe the floor with all the other schools. But here's the worrying part. Even in these schools, at A-level, a lot of the teaching leaves an awful lot to be desired. As well as being a serious geek, I'm a qualified and experienced teacher. These days I earn my crust as a private tutor of A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Even in the schools I've mentioned it's not uncommon for me to regularly come across examples of very poor teaching: topics very poorly explained (because the teacher didn't really understand the material), and outright mistakes. A-level exams shine a spotlight where an awful lot of people don't want it. And, sadly, an awful lot of parents really to prefer blissful ignorance to knowing how poor so much teaching is.
    1
  19811. Well, Belarus, and maybe Georgia too, have puppet governments that Russia is no longer able to prop up. Georgia has 20% of its stolen territory to take back. And several regions really don't want to be part of the Russian Federation. It would make a lot of sense if they all now took advantage of Russia's weakness.

  19820. BUT to go with the "incredibly steep infection curve" we have, according to South African doctors, an EXTREMELY MILD variant. This still stands, so it's looking like Omicron could very quickly and SAFELY spread NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bring this pandemic to an end. Well, that's as long as some very evil politicians don't succeed in stopping it. We shouldn't be cowering in fear of this variant. We should be hailing it as a saviour and throwing "catch Omicron" parties. Christmas is, after all, the time for sharing good things.

  19823. Putin no doubt sold this invasion, to those holding his leash, as something that would be over in a few days, with negligible cost to Russia. He is getting really desperate, because the longer this goes on the more untenable his position becomes. Unless NATO does something stupid enough to allow him to sell an escalation to those supporting him he is going to be removed from power. It's NOT a question of if, just how long, and how!

  19828. ​ @natalieturko4808  I totally agree. Which is why Ukraine should focus on sinking more ships and sending more drones to Moscow, as it appears to be fairly good at this sort of thing and it's very visible to the Russian people, who Putin is trying very hard to hide the true cost of the war from. And, once again, we come back to the Kerch bridge. Making it completely unusable would not only have major military advantages, it would be very public, and intensely humiliating for Putin. Destroying the Kerch bridge has similar significance to the WW II sinking of the Bismarck!
    1
  19829. No! Europe's moronic "leaders" add to Europe's woes. This variant, which I've decided to call the Fluffy Kitten variant, has been characterised by South African doctors as EXTREMELY MILD. If these so-called leaders had a brain cell between them then they would let this godsend of a variant SAFELY and rapidly bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions of people.

  19830. What many of us suspected. This might be Putin's last desperate gamble.
    1
  19831. If you listen to Farage's interview his use of the word "provoked" is unfortunate, because he goes on to explain that the EU and NATO merely gave Putin a "pretext". From what we know of this megalomaniac it's now very clear that this is no big deal as Putin would otherwise have dreamt up another excuse, only we would have been in a much poorer position to respond to his aggression.

  19833. Iran thought that, like the nuclear armed UK and US, Pakistan wouldn't have the balls to strike back. But Pakistan VERY QUICKLY made the RIGHT decision, which the UK and US could learn from. All their weeks of pathetic warnings to the Houthis achieved was repeated attacks by them.

  19839. Sars-cov-2 posed a negligible risk to over 99% of the population, and those who got covid-19 gained excellent and long lasting immunity. Given these FACTS there was no justification whatsoever for administering a rushed through and poorly tested vaccine to most people!

  19840. I can't remember the last time I saw my GP. I've previously referred myself to Moorfields, and to a specialist for a private hernia operation. In each case bypassing my GP was definitely the right thing to do. So if I do decide to see him/her you can be damn sure I need to, and I don't want some poorly educated receptionist telling me I can talk to him remotely. An in-person consultation is the vastly superior gold standard. Of course, what would really help would be providing shrinks for all the mental health cases that seriously clog up GPs' surgeries, and probably also discourage an awful lot of people from becoming GPs.

  19844. In the UK one quarter of those of working age aren't working: that's 9.4 million people. There is absolutely no conceivable way that such a high fraction can be unfit to work. That almost certainly means that several million people are claiming benefits that they should not be getting. One has to ask oneself why Labour chose to go after pensioners, who have done nothing wrong, when stopping benefit fraud would bring in vastly more money.

  19848. Khan should be incredibly worried about the NEEDLESS destruction of more businesses and jobs! FFS, Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD.

Omicron presents the very real possibility of quickly and SAFELY spreading NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to an end. We need "catch Omicron" parties, not restrictions.

  19855. It's very worrying that complete cretins like West make it to admiral. Why should my taxes be squandered on monitoring this evil woman. She freely chose to throw in her lot with a bunch of rabid murdering animals. Like all DECENT Brits I say leave her to rot in Syria.

In the UK we are told that covid-19 has killed over 150,000 people. Yet a freedom of information request to the ONS revealed that only about 17,500 healthy people have died, and that most of them were over 65. For over 99% covid-19 poses a truly miniscule risk. There are so many more things that are much more likely to kill them.

  19859. As part of Russia, Putin's now got lots more men to call up. They are in the right place for him and they have nowhere to flee to avoid fighting. They can't escape by fleeing into Russia, and if they flee into Ukraine they will either be treated as enemy separatists or expected to fight to DEFEND their country.

  19864. What the hell is wrong with people in this country. Are they really too stupid to understand that this is just the thin end of a very long wedge, with which they are going to be well and truly shafted with? First it was vaccine passports for holidays: no public outcry. Now it's vaccine passports for nightclubs: no public outcry. It's mooted that they could be needed for pubs and restaurants: no public outcry. Can't people see where this is going. Like delinquent boys, the scum in Downing Street are testing the publics tolerance for having their rights violated. Every time there is no pushback they push things a bit further. Soon they will make this and all other vaccines compulsory, and masks will become a permanent feature of daily life. We've had vaccines against diseases that are far worse, but never have people been subject to this kind of compulsion. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and a ready willingness to fight to defend it. So many young men gave their lives fighting the Nazis in order to stop the kind of things that are happening in Britain today. Did they die for nothing?

  19869. Let's be crystal clear on this. If Hamas or Hezbollah gave a damn about civilians they wouldn't launch their missiles from deep within populated areas. But the truth is that both these terrorist groups see dead civilians as excellent propaganda opportunities.

  19870. Absolutely correct. Those so-called "pro-Palestinian" protestors want Hamas to survive so that they can make good on their promise to repeat what they did on 7th October, again and again.

  19871. ​ @trentriver  Call me a cynic, but I've often wondered whether Ukraine is deliberately being denied more effective weapons because of this possibility. Perhaps it's been decided that the longer this war goes on the more attrition both sides will suffer, so that if Putin wins he won't have any soldiers left in Ukraine, to replace the vast number he has lost.

  19872. A decent, honest prime minister would sack the "totally f**king useless serial liar". He breaks the rules to betray his wife and family, and then rewards the "other woman" with a cushy job. Just what does this guy have to do to get sacked? Or should we be asking what dirt he has on Boris?😉

  19873. Just look at that picture of Mick Fuller. How easy it is to visualise him in an SS uniform, with shining jack boots. FFS this is a virus that kills well under 1%, and those who have had it now have excellent natural immunity that may last a lifetime. Aren't people getting fed up with living under what is probably far worse than any Nazi occupation?

  19874. Spare a thought to the hit that the pensions of millions of poor and struggling OAPs are taking. The triple lock was put there to protect what is already a very mean and meagre pension from the ravages of inflation. But Rich Boy Sunak CHEATED OAPs out of this, giving them a pathetic 3.1%: about one third of what they are entitled to. Liz Truss should be talking about doing a U-turn on this, but all she is blabbing on about is tax cuts, which will do bugger all for our desperate OAPs.
    1
  19875. All over the world governments are desperate that their citizens do not come to appreciate just how good and long lasting natural immunity is. This is why they won't let up on forcing vaccination on everybody. Cast your mind back about 13 months. This was when the Great Barrington Declaration, drafted by some of the world's most renowned experts, was published. But the advice in it had been given to governments many months earlier. They were very clearly told that lockdowns would not work, but just cause an insane amount of damage. Instead they were advised to just isolate the most vulnerable until NATURAL herd immunity developed. Very good natural immunity shows that the GBD's advice was spot on, but politicians are determined that people never discover that all the insane lockdowns, and similar restrictions were unnecessary.
    1
  19876. If these were proper scientists then, by observing the ineffectiveness of this, previous, and lockdowns in other countries, they would have come to the conclusion that they DON'T WORK. As any high school kid would tell you, you draw inferences from observing the experiments. Your conclusions are based on what happens, NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN.

Well guess what. Even in the very unlikely event that they aren't grossly exaggerating as usual, we get an average of 69 killed or seriously injure on our roads everyday. This is nearly 75% worse, so maybe they would like to stop everyone driving too? This Chicken Little panicking needs to stop!

  19889. I don't agree with most of what Truss says, but she is dead right on this one: BRITISH WORKERS ARE LAZY! As a private tutor of A-level maths, chemistry and physics, I know only too well that it starts in the schools. The majority of kids aren't prepared to learn how to use their calculators, read their textbooks, or do the exercises in them. And any teacher that calls a kid lazy can kiss his job goodbye.

  19890. The truth of the matter is that for the vast majority of people lockdowns have hurt them far more than covid-19 ever would have. This virus is relatively benign. It only kills between 1 and 2 in a 1000, and the overwhelming majority of them are very old and/or very sick. As even a cursory look at what is happening in Europe shows, all lockdowns do is kick the covid-19 can a little bit down the road. They do however crucify the poor, while hardly touching the rich and powerful. But the worst of it is that none of this would have happened if our frightened, half-wit prime minister had followed the very wise advice in the Great Barrington Declaration.

  19891. Well, first you have to tackle resentful teachers who won't tell students how much better a life so many tradesmen have compared to them. Secondly you need to fix the damage that's been done to FE colleges. About 30 years ago people working in them enjoyed the same holidays as schools and got similar pay. Now most are much worse off on both counts, so few decent tradesmen want to work in them and pass their skills on.

  19894. "People are being taken for mugs" Over the last 20 months most people have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are mugs. For a virus that kills about 1 in 1000, who are overwhelmingly very old and sick, they have allowed Downing Street to turn their lives upside down. Instead of just getting an infection, that for most people is less bad than a heavy cold, and after which you end up with rock solid natural immunity, they have queued up to take rushed through and poorly tested vaccines. Short of jumping off the White Cliffs of Dover, it's hard to think of what more most Brits could do to prove their stupidity.

  19896. Yet people who posted something ill-considered in the heat of the moment, that they clearly didn't mean, are receiving lengthy jail sentences. The expression "British justice" is now an oxymoron!

  19897. ​ @choddo  It's because there are so many credulous fools, like you, who trust and believe in lying, cheating scum-bag politicians, that we are now in such a mess! With the very low death and hospitalization rates it has, in a manner of speaking, gone away, but governments are ramping up measures rather than admitting this.
    1
  19898. ​ @choddo  You most definitely are a fool if you are stupid enough to believe that lockdowns were ever the right response. Are you really too dim to see that it's NOT covid-19 but the lockdowns that have caused economic Armageddon? The Swedes must be laughing their heads off at all the schmucks who let their governments lead them over the cliff, just like stupid panicking lemmings.

  19901. Do we even want to be combatting this variant? The observations so far, by South African doctors, characterise this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact I think I've read that it hasn't hospitalised or killed a single person! If this assessment is correct then we have a variant that might quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. This is what is really frightening most governments. People would then find out the truth of how much they have lied about natural immunity, and loose their fear of this virus. I want to rename Omicron the Fluffy Kitten variant.

  19913. The simple fact is that Europe (the UK included) is paying an incredibly high price for the unbelievable stupidity and cowardice of its so-called "leaders". At the start of October a group of very eminent and international scientists drafted the Great Barrington Declaration, but crucially this advice had already been given months earlier, near the start of the pandemic. The advice of the GBD was that lockdowns would NOT work. They would result in more deaths, but also a lot of collateral deaths too. What was advised was that just the most vulnerable should be isolated while everyone else got on with their lives. Sadly the imbeciles that we elect ignored this sage advice. Several lockdowns later, with infections and deaths surging in so many places we can see just how right the GBD is. This is what would almost certainly have happened if the GBD was followed: 1. There would have been far fewer deaths. 2. Countries that followed it would now be enjoying herd immunity, without the need for any vaccines. 3. People's jobs and businesses would not have been destroyed. 4. The education and mental health of our young people would not have been buggered to hell. Most governments have perpetrated a massive crime against the people they are supposed to serve, in the (mis)handling of this pandemic. They need to be subjected to a Nuremberg style trial for their heinous crimes against humanity.

  19917. With an IFR of less than 0.3% Covid has never posed a serious threat anywhere. Far more damage has been done by the panicky, kneejerk reactions of most governments who should have just let it run its course, like any cold or influenza virus.

  19924. Just how f**king stupid are these politicians? Yes, if you could very strictly lock down the whole world for about 3 or 4 weeks then this virus would go away. But you can't! All this retarded nonsense does is kick the can down the road a few weeks. While reservoirs of infection remain, the virus will ALWAYS bounce back once lockdowns are lifted. Only a complete moron, which is what most politicians are, would fail to grasp this simple fact. We have a highly connected world and no matter how high the vigilance we are not going to prevent infected people crossing borders, and reigniting infection growth. What will definitely work is herd immunity, and Sweden seems to be the only country whose leaders understand this. A lot of cretinous governments are betting their countries' futures on vaccines. However, how many people are going to risk a vaccine that has been rushed through? I've heard parents say there is no way they are giving it to their kids: and they definitely aren't anti vaccination. In the past I've chosen to have typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, and other vaccines, but I won't be touching any covid-19 vaccine. This is a virus that only kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very ill. In fact the latest IFR estimates are showing that it's probably only a little worse than a bad flu. It's way past time that the fools and cowards that we elect accept that some people are going to die, and that all their lockdowns do is slightly delay those deaths at incredible cost to everyone else, and that they will ultimately cause more deaths than the virus every will.

  19926. Putin thinks he can win simply by the fact that Russians are so much more numerous than Ukrainians, hence the meat grinder tactics: there will always be more to throw at Ukraine.

  19932. The government denying natural immunity is like the Church denying that the Earth orbits the Sun. The evidence from massive studies like those in Israel and Cleveland is indisputable. The three undeniable facts are: 1. Natural immunity is much more effective (Israel found 13 times) than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting: perhaps for ones lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Not accepting natural immunity only generates distrust of the government, which (ironically) undermines the vaccination program!

  19942. By ignoring the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, and imposing lockdowns and restrictions strong evolutionary pressure was put on the sars-cov-2 virus that favoured more infectious strains. It is doubtful that Delta could have outcompeted much less infectious variants without the massive helping hand it received from stupid and cowardly governments!

  19943. If Joe Biden really loved America, and cared about the free world, he would step down and hand over the reins to his vice president. The "poor memory' comment was very charitable, because he is almost certainly in the early stages of dementia. Biden staying in power is a massive gift to both Trump and Putin!

  19944. The West and NATO will not accept ANY form of blackmail from Putin, whether it be cutting off the gas, or using nuclear weapons. If the Russian people, and their generals, are so suicidal as to allow Putin to use nuclear weapons then they and their children will die in their countless millions.

  19946. Unless we want to see a repeat of Chamberlain's infamous "peace in our time" Putin mustn't be allowed to keep a single square centimeter of Ukraine, and that includes Crimea.

  19948. You couldn't make up a better black comedy. We already have a desperate shortage of doctors and nurses, and yet the government is going to make this a lot worse. If a doctor or nurse decides against having a treatment then they likely have made that decision for a good reason, so coercion is unlikely to change their minds. Add to this that fact that most of these unvaccinated doctors and nurses now probably have far better natural immunity, and unlike the schmucks won't be conned by the government's lies that disparage it.

  19949. With 9.4 million of working age (that's 25%) not working of course there's going to be a lot of pain. Does anyone with even a modicum intelligence believe that a quarter of our workforce are unfit for work? I wonder how many millions of those who could work, but just don't want to, are receiving benefits? There's probably billions of pounds to be saved by stopping benefit fraud!

  19950. There would be if they were white.
    1
  19951. Bring it on! The more cases the better, because then people will get proper NATURAL IMMUNITY. That's what we should have been aiming for right from the start. As per the Great Barrington Declaration, the government should have listen to the REAL experts right at the start. They should have just isolated the most vulnerable instead of having insanely damaging lockdowns. I'm so happy these vaccines aren't working that well, because it makes it much harder for desperate governments to hide their mistakes.
    1
  19952. We need to do two things. Firstly we need to open the Nightingales and shove as many covid patients into them as possible. Secondly we need to be a lot stricter about allocating beds to others who aren't that sick. Most of these beds are being taken up by what used to be called "bed blockers". This virus only kills about 1 in 1000, but the country and people's lives are being destroyed by mainly very old people, most of whom have already enjoyed a very long good life, and many of whom are senile.

  19974. After many decades it should be clear to anyone with even marginal intelligence that the "war on drugs" has been an even bigger failure than the one in Afghanistan. Untold amounts of money and police time have been wasted on this, and what have we to show for it. Drug consumption is probably higher now than it's ever been. The only people benefitting from drugs being illegal are the gangs, who are making a fortune and killing each other over the spoils. And then we have the staggering amount of crime committed by addicts who are desperate to afford their next fix. If drugs weren't illegal their price would nosedive, and almost all the crime related to them would disappear overnight. The incredible savings in not having to fight this crime could be used to educate and try and help addicts.

Outside of Putin's fervid imagination we all know that these so-called annexed regions, including Crimea, are part of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian military is gradually clearing the Orc infestation from them. Putin has been threatening to use nukes for months now, and this is just another attempt by a very desperate man to frighten people. The only difference is he has provided a bit more theartre this time. Putin would have used nukes months ago if he thought he could get away with it, but I doubt that the Russian people are suicidal enough to allow him to do this. Even very evil Putin supporters want a bright future for their children and grandchildren.

  19987. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news.

  20017. In all of recorded history has there ever been a case of a virus mutating to such an extent that it has circumvented a vaccination program? No! So worrying about this possibility is just paranoid scaremongering. The UK is probably now at herd immunity. For those who understand the implications of this it means that all restrictions, including those concerning travel can be lifted. Yes, the odd dude will still contract covid-19, and one or two people will even die. But the days of ICU wards in the UK filling up are well and truly over.

I've also written several well selling books on the calculators most used by Y12 and Y13 students.

The small size of the drones, and tiny explosive payload, strongly suggest that, like the Kremlin attacks, these are a pathetic attempt by Putin's FSB goons to frighten more Russians into supporting him.

  20049. Those of us with the slightest intelligence can make a damn good guess at the cause. LOCKDOWN COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Because of insane lockdowns this cable car didn't get the regular servicing, for over a year, that it would normally have got. There's a lot more of damage and deaths, in so many disparate areas, that are yet to come as a direct result of these insane lockdowns. The eminent international scientists who drafted the Great Barrington Declaration clearly warned that ultimately lockdowns would cause vastly more collateral deaths than if the most vulnerable had just been isolated until herd immunity was achieved. There will be many more high profile events like these, but a lot more less visible ones. Snowflakes who supported lockdowns will be watching their chickens coming home to roost for years!

I also wonder how long, it will take the scum in Downing Street to admit we have herd immunity, and stop violating people's liberty. Of course, if the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration had been followed then we would already have herd immunity, without needing vaccines, and there might well have been fewer deaths.
    1
  20097. Correct! Why simulate attacks on the infrastructure of a country that has shown zero inclination to attack China? Xi's "military exercises" bear an uncanny resemblance to those of Mad Dog Putin. 100 years ago Taiwan might have been part of China. At that time Bangladesh, Pakistan, and several other countries didn't exist either, but political boundaries change. Taiwan has been an INDEPENDENT country for over 70 years. It is separated from China by about 100 miles of ocean, and has a population much larger than that of many other countries. Only a megalomaniac doesn't leave other peaceful countries alone. Xi's "One China" sounds just like Putin's "historic Russia", or Hitler's justification of the Sudetenland invasion and Anschluss.

  20099. For those very elderly and/or very ill, the vaccine news is very good indeed. The risk posed by the vaccine is probably much lower than that posed by the virus. HOWEVER, we simply do not know the long term consequences of these vaccines, particularly those based on new technology. They may indeed turn out to be completely safe, but in the past there have been medicines that have had very adverse long term consequences. The longer safety tests that would have made this less likely (though still not zero) have been dispensed with. So why should someone for whom covid-19 poses such a small risk take one of these vaccines: we are not dealing with something like Ebola. At 63 I certainly won't. Also anyone who has recovered from covid-19 has absolutely NOTHING to gain from being vaccinated. I've come across parents who are not anti-vaxers, but they are adamant that they won't have their kids vaccinated against this virus. They are DEFINITELY DOING THE RIGHT THING!

  20107. Dan what's more shameful is that people won't stand up and fight this tyranny. If most venues simply refused to check for vaccine passports, and refused to close, turn up in court, or pay any fines, then the government would be powerless. Equally, a decent person would refuse to carry or show evidence of vaccination. If they want to get vaccinated that's fine, but they shouldn't behave in a manner that helps dictators coerce others into getting vaccinated against their will. When are people going to realise that these tyrants can only flourish because most people roll over and accept their abuse of our rights and freedoms.

  20108. I'm definitely no Starmer fan. HOWEVER any kind of peace in Ukraine, without a strong Western peacekeeping force will see Putin attacking again in a couple of years time. And if we do have such a force there then we would do well to also offer one to Moldova.

  20109. Isn't it incredible what a drive there has been to vaccinate people against a virus that poses hardly any threat to over 99% of the population. A virus that, once you have recovered from it leaves you with natural immunity that is vastly better than vaccination, and may well last you a lifetime. What's going on is like watching Fawlty Towers, with Basil on a mixture of steroids and amphetamines.

Right at the start the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, warned that lockdowns would be ineffective, but would cause a vast amount of damage. A few months later they repeated this warning in the Great Barrington Declaration. Like a petulant child, our government deliberately choose to ignore these experts.

They might not be foolproof, but they would make it much harder to lie, and thus make a testimony more convincing.

  20125. Despite what Boris and the BBC would like you to believe, most people did not obey last year's Christmas lockdown. Far fewer will this year. People need constant reminding that for over 99% of them sars-cov-2 is no big deal. Most WILL get covid-19. In fact more than 50% have probably already had it. They will then shrug it off more easily than a bad cold, after which they will have rock solid natural immunity, which works far better than vaccination, and will probably last a life time. This is a virus that only frightens cowards and suckers. It's just unfortunate that the UK has a few million like this: the ones that the BBC usually chooses to interview.

  20126. You want to protect society? Then catch Omicron and do all that you can to help it spread as quickly as possible.

  20128. OK. first we need to look at that 65%. This completely contradicts the facts. Both the massive Cleveland and Israeli studies clearly demonstrated that natural immunity was vastly better than vaccination. So if 65% is correct then it means vaccination is nearly useless. But what's much more likely is that 65% comes from one of the much smaller and highly disreputable studies that governments prefer to quote: while pretending that the Cleveland and Israeli ones don't exist. Now let's demolish this 1 in 5 fabrication. Firstly in the above mentioned studies previous infection was taken as a proxy for natural immunity. If only 80% developed antibodies then the findings of these studies would not have vastly favoured natural immunity. Then we need to ask the question about how those 1 in 5 recovered if they never had antibodies, because without them there is nothing to remove the virus from the body. Perhaps the clue here is the phrase "one in five tested". These 1 in 5 probably never developed covid-19: in other words false positive PCR tests. It's also incredibly important to understand that in the longer term it is the memory B and T cells that are the most important factor. These are what give those of us who have had measles life long immunity from getting it again, NOT antibodies. Having constantly high antibodies is very, very bad. As many doctors have remarked if instead of memory B and T cells antibodies remained high then our blood would be as thick as molasses: think heart attacks, strokes and gangrene. Of course often the simplest explanation turns out to be the correct one. That is, governments are still lying through their teeth and doing all they can to frighten people into getting vaccinated and complying with restrictions.

  20130. Nice to see that unions in France care about boosting the pensions of struggling OAPs. There wasn't so much as a squeak out of British unions, or Labour, when Rich Boy Sunak cheated our OAPs out of their triple lock pension rise, which was only designed to keep their pensions from be eroded by inflation.

  20132. If you have had covid-19 then you now have natural immunity that is far better than anything the vaccine can give you, and may even last a lifetime. If you are young, say under 30, then covid-19 poses a negligible threat to you. So you would have to be nuts to take a poorly tested vaccine, whose effect may only last 6 months to a year. That's the simple truth that the "vax em all" brigade don't want people to know.

  20135. So on the one hand 50% of the population have now had 2 doses of vaccine, which we have good reason to believe will be effective against variants. Yet we still see the government panicking about them. Almost all the most vulnerable are now fully protected: those who refused the vaccine (myself included) don't deserve any special consideration. It really doesn't matter in the least if a few people come back from holiday infected, because it's exceedingly unlikely that this will now lead to deaths or hospitalisations. Stopping people enjoying a very well earned summer holiday isn't "listening to the science" it's listening to the cowardly, irrational snowflakes. The Gurkhas have a motto: "better to die than live as a coward!"

  20143. Let's get it right. Teaching hasn't been a PROFESSION for many years. Apart from a few misguided and naive idealists teaching is the last resort of those who are otherwise unemployable, unless they are prepared to stack supermarket shelfs on zero-hour contracts. Why would someone teach a STEM subject when they can earn a lot more in private industry, work sensible hours, not suffer constant abuse (from BOTH students and managers), and be genuinely valued?

  20147. What Herr Macron did was totally counter to democratic principles. He knew he wouldn't get the legislation he wanted through on vote so he acted like a dictator. The last thing France needs is a president that imposes his will regardless of the views of the majority. The pension reform needs to be withdrawn until it can be passed by a majority vote, AND Herr Macron should step down from the presidency.

  20150.  @allangmiller  Well, the double blind trial sounds as if it didn't give any statistically significant result. And it's well known that what happens in vitro often doesn't reflect what happens in vivo. So we do indeed have little more than speculation.
    1
  20151. ​ @allangmiller  I teach hypothesis testing! If the null hypothesis is not rejected then one must accept that the results in the trial are due to chance, just like tossing 3 heads in a row doesn't indicated a biased coin. One can conduct further trials, but until then one has nothing. Your "simple protein-protein interaction" is precisely that. In vivo things can be a bit more complicated. It's why scientists are often left scratching their heads about why cross immunity occurs where they wouldn't expect it. With your accusation that I'm trying to find evidence it's clear that you aren't too bright. It's very clear that my contention is that the trial and experiments do not provide strong evidence. And because of the immense damage caused by things like lockdowns we shouldn't scaremonger. And the "never knows" on the long term effects on THESE vaccines is correct, because they simply haven't been around long enough. Thalidomide took a long time to show its side effects. The protocols for these current vaccines would have passed it as safe! While the Astra/Zeneca vaccine is well tried technology, we simply do not know if there are any long term unforeseen effects for the RNA type vaccines. That's what "unforeseen" means: something goes wrong in a way we never imagined.

  20152. Putin MUST be defeated, not rewarded, unless we want to see a repeat of Chamberlain's infamous "peace in our time". He mustn't be allowed to keep a single square centimeter of Ukraine, and that includes Crimea. If Ukraine is prepared to fight to get its land back then Europe needs to double down on supporting this.
    1
  20153. Covid-19 poses a threat to less than 1% of the population, and natural immunity, after having it, is vastly better than vaccination. So most people would have to be mentally feeble to consider a vaccine that hasn't got years of safe usage behind it.

  20170. Exactly! China ONLY wants peace if Putin gets to keep territory that he has stolen. What China, or rather Emperor Xi, is terrified of is that Putin will be forced out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea.

  20175. Most of the time there are prevailing westerly winds that would blow a lot of radioactivity straight over a very large area of Russia. However, sometimes winds do blow the other way! Bearing this in mind it might make a lot of sense to launch an all out assault to retake the ZNPP while the winds are blowing into Russia, rather than waiting for Putin to blow up the ZNPP when there are easterly winds that could spread contamination all over Ukraine, and maybe further. Putin is very likely to do this, so it's MUCH SAFER to risk far more limited contamination to Ukraine. The Orcs may also pull out rather than see Russia badly contaminated. When you are fighting Putin you take off the gloves and put on the knuckledusters!

  20176. Probably another pathetic false flag job by Putin's own FSB goons. What's the chance of drones flying all the way from Ukraine? And if there were operatives in Moscow they would choose a far better target, like some major infrastructure.

  20192. Mr. Poole is a disgrace to the legal profession, and should be immediately dismissed. Covid-19 posed a negligible threat to this boy (as does flu), and the long term risks of covid-19 vaccines are not known, so his mother was absolutely right to refuse to have him vaccinated. In general this is not a matter of children versus parents. Its more about children being coerced by teachers and peer pressure. They need protection against this, which this judge has now reduced unless an honest judge in a higher court quickly overturns the decision.

  20197. The trouble is that we are dealing with a chaotic system which has quite a few positive feedbacks: Less artic ice to reflect radiation. Highly potent methane being released from the tundra. More water vapour (a green house gas) in a warmer atmosphere. There is definitely the potential for the rate of temperature increase to put on a sudden spurt. This might affect some major air and ocean currents, which could dramatically alter the climate in some countries. Maybe it won't happen, but people of my age aren't the ones who will have to carry the can if it does.

  20204. Then its time to end the lockdown insanity. If the British public weren't so bloody thick they would realise that the R number doesn't matter any more. The ONLY thing that's important is how many covid-19 patients are clogging up our hospitals. In fact even the deaths in this context are a good thing as they free beds from mainly very old people who WILL die very soon anyway. With over 14 million of the most vulnerable people now vaccinated, it DOESN'T MATTER how many new infections we see, because very few of them will translate into hospital bed blockers. It's time to stop be scaredy cats and lift ALL restrictions!

He is also now losing a lot of oil revenue from refineries and depots that have been destroyed. He can't continue to sustain such losses, especially when he can no longer hide them from Russians. And there are quite a few regions that want out of his Federation. They will make a move once they judge that he has been sufficiently weakened.

  20218. Maybe not in the way Boris means it, but the evidence definitely doesn't stack up: 1. There is no significant statistical correlation between lockdowns, or their severity, and the number of deaths. 2. There was no scientific, or ethical, justification for encouraging most people to take a vaccine that hadn't undergone AT LEAST 3 years phase 3 safety trials. The IFR for the virus was 0.3% or lower, and natural immunity after catching it was extremely good and long lasting.

  20248. Are deaths or the number of people in hospital increasing significantly? No! It doesn't matter in the least if there are a few more infections if those infected simply shrug it off.

People have well and truly had enough of this nonsense. They are sick to the back teeth of a government that has consistently lied to them and done its best to frighten them.

  20262. Unless Putin's Orcs are eventually pushed back they will be trying to eventually take even Lviv! We need to step up the pace of giving the latest longer range weapons to Ukraine, and the training of Ukraine soldiers. Over 35,000 Orcs have already been killed. Let's make the world an even better place, and aim to have killed AT LEAST 70,000 by Christmas.

  20263. Sounds like the TACO is intent on making sure those weapons don't reach Ukraine too quickly. He still doesn't want to offend his master Putin.

  20264. In large measure it's Russian army that is keeping the Fat Dictator in power, as well as some, but by no means all of his own army. If they aren't there to protect him then there's a very real chance that the Belarusian people will drag him out and lynch him. I suspect that Putin is very much afraid of a popular uprising, and how it might also inspire other regions.

  20267. It's absolutely guaranteed there are vastly more than this that haven't come to light, and the same is going on in most countries. So, buggering up South African travel is a complete waste of time. However the good news is that there is zero hard scientific evidence that this variant is any worse than the thousands of others. But hey, governments are desperately looking for an excuse to screw up people's Christmas.

  20268. Action was taken against Afghanistan for "exporting terror". By this logic, bombing Iran's nuclear reprocessing facilities and munition factories is long overdue!

  20269. Of course this isn't just a tiny part of the collateral damage that we were warned totally useless lockdowns would cause. I mean, it's not as if millions of people found themselves under house arrest with absolutely nothing to occupy their time with.

  20276. It's been mooted that Putin want's North Korean troops so that he doesn't have to move Russian soldiers from Manchuria, which his good buddy Xi won't hesitate to take back if he thinks that he can get away with it.

  20277. We need to get Finland into NATO ASAP. Then it too can fight for Sweden's membership. Also, unlike Finland which has 830 miles of it, Sweden doesn't have any land border with Putin's evil empire.

  20278. Iran and Russia were never friends. They are more like rival drug gangs who for a short time might get together to fight the police, but then get back to stabbing each other in the back.

  20279. Bogus Boris hasn't made a reasonable case because there isn't one. We have a PM with a classics degree and almost every minister has a Noddy degree like PPE. What else would you expect from such a bunch of losers?

  20288. It really does look as if half-wit Sunak and his brainless cabinet are willing to consider anything as long as it isn't a good deterrent and relatively cheap. There is no shortage of sparsely inhabited, or uninhabited, Scottish islands, on which tents or nissen huts could be erected.

  20289. Man have I been really dumb about these vaccines. No I don't mean for not taking them. I mean for not buying stock in Pfizer, Moderna and Astra-Zeneca. With the likelihood of boosters every few months its a license to print money.

  20290. It's not a loophole, it's illegal to employ those not allowed to work in this country, and that's the end of the story! There are severe penalties for doing so, but as usual the government, police and courts are turning a blind eye. If the law was properly applied then both the companies and those substituting illegals to work in their place would be prosecuted.

  20291. Trump is going to have a cross-arm boogie with Putin, and if Europe doesn't get firmly behind Ukraine, to make sure it gets all its land back (including Crimea) the we will soon see "Peace in our Time" part 2.
    1
  20292. Aren't people just a little fed up with this baseless panicking? These nasty, frightened little boys in Downing Street are infringing people's rights, and making their lives a misery "just in case" there's a big bad variant hiding in the bushes. The FACT is that after 18 months we haven't got strong scientific or statistical evidence to support any variant being significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have is ministers gibbering like frightened children over the very remote possibility that variants are suddenly going to start behaving totally differently than they have in the last 18 months. Is this a valid excuse for messing with people's lives?

  20293. The cynic in me suspects that Putin's good buddy Modi is worried that all the refineries and oil depots Ukraine is hitting might put at risk the cheap oil he is receiving.

  20294. Let's be very clear on this. Most of these so-called experts calling for a halt are "experts" in rubbish like privacy and data protection. They definitely aren't experts in A.I., and aren't anywhere near clever enough to be so.
    1
  20295. If, as South African doctors have characterised it, this variant turns out to be EXTREMELY MILD then high transmissibility is brilliant news. This means that it will quickly and VERY SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions. Of course, if you are a government that has been lying about natural immunity and wants to keep people frightened then this is the worst news you could imagine.

  20307. And they call the Brits whinging poms. FFS this is a fairly innocuous virus. It kills around 1 in 1000 who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. I hate to break if to you, but very old and very sick people die. Time to man up, accept covid-19 is here forever, and get on with life. The snowflakes can get jabbed every 6 months and go hide under a stone, but they need to get out of everybody else's face.

    1
  20313. The important thing isn't whether one has been vaccinated but whether one is immune. A good proportion of many countries' population who have had covid-19 now have natural immunity. Extensive research clearly shows that this is very robust and long term. These people simply do not need to be vaccinated. In fact, even if the risk posed by vaccines is very small, it is still unethical to vaccinate such people at all: they shouldn't be unnecessarily put at any risk, no matter how small. A Google search will show that there are now T-cell tests available, so people whose antibodies have declined can still be tested for immunity. If they are immune they should not be vaccinated. What's needed is an immunity passport NOT a vaccine passport. Also, no matter what, those under 25 or 30 should not be coerced into being vaccinated, in order to maintain their basic human rights. The risk posed to them by covid-19 is so small that vaccinating them is solely for the benefit of old bastards. Anyone claiming otherwise is a lying, selfish, self-centred coward.
    1
  20314. ​ @Aleksandrgrc  Yes they are lying. Do a search on Google and you will find that quite a few very reputable institutions have determined that natural immunity lasts as long as it has been possible to determine: i.e. as long as this new virus has been around. It might even turn out to be far better than that conferred by any of the vaccines. Most governments (most definitely the UK) want to frighten people into "obeying the rules" and getting vaccinated. They will say absolutely anything to accomplish this, regardless of its veracity.
    1
  20315.  @granmabern5283  You really don't know anything about this virus do you. You don't catch the same cold virus you catch a new version, due to the fact that cold viruses mutate very rapidly. In complete contrast, this virus mutates rather slowly.

  20317. As usual Ukraine goes for military targets, or infrastructure that the military needs. Russia goes for defenseless civilians, that have zero military value.
    1
  20318. After all its tough words, the so-called "coalition of the willing" needs to URGENTLY put its money where its mouth is and urgently help Ukraine. Then, perhaps, Trump would feel that he wasn't being taken for a schmuck, with the US to shoulder most of the burden.
    1
  20319. I wonder if most Russians realise that Putin is becoming more and more unhinged with every passing day. Surely many must now realise that if Russia is to have any future he must be "removed" from power before it is too late.
    1
  20320. I started loosing my trust in the police when they became Downing Street's jack booted bully boys, in enforcing covid-19 restrictions, instead of devoting their time to protecting people from real crime. And no one should forget that if it wasn't for Downing Street's insane lockdowns Sarah would definitely still be alive. Ultimately Boris Johnson and his cabinet are responsible for Sarah's murder. They handed Couzens the opportunity on a plate!

  20324. What health related issues haven't got worse? The unforgiveable part is that a lot of this was completely avoidable. At the start of the covid-19 pandemic the REAL experts, like Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, warned that lockdowns would be ineffective and have an outcome like this. But instead of listening to them the government put their faith in bed-wetters like Witless Whitty. Sars-cov-2 never posed a serious threat to over 99% of the population. We are now paying a terrible price for the insanely panicked response to it.

  20328. Isn't funny how Russia is making such a big fuss over an attack claimed to have done only minor damage? I'm sure I'm not the only one who suspects that, once again, Ukraine has given Russia a massive, and very humiliating, arse kicking.
    1
  20329. Crimea is NOT a sticking point! It was forcibly and illegally taken by Russia and MUST therefore be taken back, and the Kerch bridge utterly destroyed, in order to send a very clear message that seizing another country's territory is never acceptable, and will never be rewarded or accepted. Georgia also needs to take back the territory that Russia forcibly stole from it!

  20330. If the pictures of the ones that we have seen are anything to go by this could be considered a degrading punishment of the prisoners, and a breach of their human rights.

  20331. It seems to me that the only thing that months of protests have achieved is getting those who bleated too loud killed. As well as the executions, over 500 have been murdered, and thousands more are in prison, being regularly tortured, with more awaiting execution. When are the Iranian people going to learn that dictators and despots don't willingly relinquish power. If you want your freedom then you have to be prepared to FIGHT for it!
    1
  20332. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.
    1
  20333. Remembering that there was a deliberate attempt to scare people, anyone with a grain of grey matter should ask themselves how many reported deaths were really due to Covid, rather than people who had just died after testing positive. Genuine deaths were probably only 1/5 to 1/10 of those reported.

  20334. ​ @christopherrobinson7541  You just don't want to admit how embarrassed you are to have been completely suckered by the likes of Matt Hancock. If you were even remotely numerate you would realise that the government's figures just don't stack up. It's not hard to see this.

  20340.  @psycobleach46  Natural immunity does not wane after 3 months. The antibody count goes down but, contrary to the lies that are being fed to the scientifically illiterate, this is not the same thing. Research indicates that natural immunity to the sars-cov-2 virus may well last a lifetime.
    1
  20341. For a virus that posed a serious threat to less than 1%, and gave excellent natural immunity to those it didn't kill, lockdown was an act of staggering stupidity.
    1
  20342. As the saying goes, "it takes two to tango". Scotland got a vote as to whether it wanted to remain part of the UK. Surely it's only right and proper that those in England should therefore have a vote as to whether we want Scotland. Cutting Scotland lose might be even better than not having the SNP in power. After all there are an awful lot of really thick Scots who voted for Nicola the knicker wetter.

  20343. No doubt today's BBC wouldn't want to describe what Nazi Germany did as genocide. More than ever we now need a zero tolerance approach to anti-Semitism in this country. Anyone displaying it should be INSTANTLY deported if they have, or are entitled to, the nationality of another country!

  20347. Any dead Orcs is good news, but if over 200,000 have already been killed in a year, then 1,100 is a disappointingly low number. Ukraine really needs to be aiming to eradicate at least 4,000 to 5,000 of these vermin every week.

  20348. Under the DEMOCRATIC system in this country a party gets FOUR years. I may not like Sunak, but I'll be buggered if I'm going to hand the keys to No.10 to Starmer! People don't want to hear the simple truth, that if Starmer hadn't supported Downing Street's lockdowns they wouldn't have had the numbers to enact them and we wouldn't now be in this perilous economic state.

  20350. The fat dictator needs to have his army close and available at home, in order to keep him in power. He won't do anything at all unless Putin forces him to. With nukes, Putin is like the nasty little boy who encourages his "friend" to do something so that he doesn't have to suffer the consequences for it.
    1
  20351. No, the great thing would have been to listen to REAL experts, like Professor Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, who told everyone right at the start that lockdowns wouldn't work and would be a disaster. And a few months later they repeated their advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was signed by many thousands of scientists.

In 99% of cases charities are run by parasites who don't want to, or couldn't, get a real job, and they usually "earn" a lot more than most of us. That's why I no longer give to any charities.

  20371. When you see how police treat the anti-Semitic marchers (let's call them what they really are) there can be absolutely no doubt about two-tier policing. This is confirmed by releasing criminals onto our streets rather than deporting foreign ones. If TTK thinks his grossly unjust jailing of people making heat of the moment tweets is going to prevent further riots he is even more stupid than most people take him for. Putting a cap on something with growing pressure only causes a much bigger explosion later!

  20372. So much fuss over what's basically a very innocuous virus that kills well under 1%, who are overwhelmingly very old and sick. People die. Get over it! There was none of this nonsense in Sweden, and 18 months on the Swedes are still laughing their socks off at the rest of the world.

  20379. None of this would be happening if the bigoted DUP hadn't sabotaged the democratic process by refusing to take their seats in Stormont. The Brexit deal is merely an excuse.

  20380. One can't undo the aid Iran's mad bad clerics have given to mad bad Vlad. However, if the West helped all those protestors in Iran overthrow their dictators then no more aid would be sent. It would also put an end to Iran's attempts to develop nuclear weapons with which to attack Israel. There's no downside to helping ordinary Iranians overthrow their mad mullahs.

About a year ago I needed a hernia operation. So I put my hand in my pocket, got an appointment with one of the best specialists in the country, and had him perform the operation about 2 weeks later. As I was being wheeled out of theartre I asked how long I'd have had to wait if I was depending on the NHS. I was told about two years.

  20391. Myself and others repeatedly warned against taking an improperly tested vaccine. I don't see why our hard earned taxes should be squandered on people too stupid to follow good advice.
    1
  20392. The coercion of most people into getting a poorly tested vaccine that they didn't need already proved that many doctors have absolutely no ethics. Of course, like FGM, our woke police and courts turn a blind eye.

  20393. The Taliban are rabid animals who shoot little girls who want to go to school. Any deal with them is no different from Chamberlain's Munich accord with Hitler. It will without a shadow of a doubt just give them time to regroup before they commit even worse atrocities. The ONLY solution is the complete annihilation of these insane savages, by any means possible.

  20394. Most dishonest and anti-British Prime Minister too: by miles!

  20395. Was that Olaf or Adolf? Once you have recovered from covid-19 you have LONG TERM NATURAL IMMUNITY. It is now well proven that such people do not benefit from vaccination. And before the trolls chip in, having sky high antibody levels, is NOT a benefit.

  20396. Just how insane does a government have to be to release dangerous criminals onto our streets, rather than deporting foreign criminals?

  20397. If only the same had been done to Putin's plane when he was travelling to or from Iran!

  20398. Maybe we should also test people to see if they are bed-wetting snowflakes, frightened of catching Covid from their own shadow.

  20400. ​ @georgio427  Yes, as many of us have been saying from the start, the lockdowns are going to kill far more people than covid-19 ever will. But these deaths will be invisible, which suits politicians just fine, and also the selfish, cowardly, mainly older, people who are still cheering on the lockdowns and begging for more of them.

  20401.  @danj3160  And I should care about the opinion of an oik like you? It's those who are panicking that need to get a grip.

  20402. I believe Israel, and if this preemptive strike hadn't been carried out it would have been a betrayal of its citizens: many of whom might have died. Never forget that while Israel tries hard to avoid civilian deaths Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran revel in them!
    1
  20403. Typical DISHONEST BBC reporting, to keep their Downing Street paymasters happy. For the very grudging "not as seriously ill" we should be reading something like "far fewer ill, and MUCH less serious". Also, as others are pointing out, Omicron has been detected in hospital patients admitted for something else. We still don't have a single confirmed case, anywhere in the world, of Omicron actually putting someone in hospital.

  20408. You expect sense from a deranged psychopath like Putin?
    1
  20409. You aren't the only one Julia. The IFR for Covid was just 0.3% or less, and it was known that it was overwhelmingly the very old and/or very sick who were at risk. So the focus should just have been on them. The REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, strongly advised against lockdowns but were ignored. Recent reputable studies have found that they were completely ineffective. So we destroyed the economy, wrecked the NHS, and buggered the hell out of young people's education and mental health for NOTHING!
    1
  20410. The dinghy boys have come from France so just dump them and their dinghies back in the water as close to France as possible. It's that simple, and a relatively cheap and effective deterrent!
    1
  20411. Most people richly deserve all the pain for supporting the government's covid-19 policies. Instead of manning up and laughing at the scaremongering they stayed home, put on face nappies, and buggered the education and mental health of our young people to hell. One of the very few countries to get it right was Sweden, and the Swedes are now laughing their socks off at the rest of us.

  20412. Excellent news! A lot more of this please. Putin can't get gas money to fund his genocide if he can't deliver any gas. Same goes for oil.

  20413. Much as most of us would like to arrange an agonising and slow death for Putin, like the former League of Nations, the United Nations is equally ineffective and useless.
    1
  20414. When you think of how many illegal dingy boys we have let in in the last couple of years, the UK's response to Ukrainian refugees is absolutely shameful. Ah, but then the dingy boys are much more closely related to Ugly Patel.

  20417. Two crimes: 1. Imposing totally unnecessary and insanely damaging lockdowns, which reputable researchers have concluded were completely ineffective. 2. Encouraging people to get a vax that most didn't need, and that hadn't undergone proper phase 3 safety trials.
    1
  20418. The UK now has a police force that's very good at arresting women who are peacefully and legally protesting about the rape and murder that one of their own has carried out. But when it comes to arresting real criminals, forget it!

  20425. The main problem is that the woke among us see drug fiends as vulnerable victims, instead of the vermin that they are.
    1
  20426. All over the world the effectiveness of lockdowns has been grossly exaggerated. In fact many question whether they have been any use at all. On the other hand their staggering negative impact has been grossly understated. We need more honest scientists to tell the truth, so that governments can be held to account for the massive crimes they have committed by imposing lockdowns on their populations. Hopefully we will eventually see these self-serving politicians given very long jail sentences.
    1
  20427. Surely those tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of freedom loving Georgians can handle the far fewer number of police, and then depose Putin's puppet government?

  20429. What the recent infection has definitely given him is far better immunity than most of the vaccinated sheep.
    1
  20430. Because in their heart of hearts a lot of Labour MPs are not British!
    1
  20431. It's really good that you mention that antibodies do disappear but that immunity is maintained by memory B (and T) cells. The government has gone out of its way to con people into believing that loss of antibodies mean loss of immunity. The truth is that research seems to indicate that immunity may well last a lifetime: at least in the case of natural immunity. By the way, people please note well that those vaccinated only have one type of antibody. Those with natural immunity have at least two. So which kind of immunity does this suggest is better.😉 Sorry Tim but you really spoiled things when you quoted the "antibodies doesn't mean you are immune" government propaganda. The worldwide documented cases of covid-19 reinfection in those who are not immunocompromised can probably be counted on one hand! In line with government scaremongering, what Tim hasn't mentioned is the memory cells, which give long term immunity can now be tested for. Also, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, unless you are immunocompromised your chances of catching the virus again is NEGLIGIBLE. Finally, as should be clear from what I've said earlier. If you have had covid-19, and hence have natural immunity, getting vaccinated does neither you nor anyone else the slightest good. It's like watering your garden after it's been raining solidly for a week.

  20432. Dictators don't willingly relinquish their grip on power, so just protesting and demonstrating won't cut it. Bleat like sheep and you get slaughtered like sheep. Freedom has to be FOUGHT HARD for!

  20433. So Nazi rule has finally come to the UK. Young people, for whom covid-19 poses negligible risk, are going to be forced into vaccination if they want to live the normal life of people their age. If the government is allowed to get away with this we will see it expanded more and more. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES!.

  20434. If this desperate and pathetic psychopath weren't so deranged he would have realised a long time ago that the West and NATO will not allow themselves to be blackmailed by him. Any Russian with children that they love will want to see this maniac "removed" before he brings nuclear Armageddon on them.
    1
  20435. WHY do certain groups think that they deserve special treatment?
    1
  20436. What's happening is indeed horrific, and abhorrent. Unfortunately it shows every sign of getting far worse, AND of having very serious repercussions for Europe as a whole. What does Moscow want? 1. Recognition of its right to the Crimea. 2. The Russian speaking parts of the Ukraine 3. The Ukraine not in NATO or the EU. The truth is that it has the areas mentioned in 1 and 2, and isn't going to give them up. Ukraine is currently not in NATO or the EU, and it's difficult to see how future membership will compensate for the immense damage that may yet be inflicted upon it. So, in reality there seems to be very little cost in giving Moscow what it wants, and ultimately a very big saving in lives and further devastation. Sorry, but I don't want to see vastly more damage done purely for the sake of Western "leaders" egos! Also, at 69 Putin isn't going to be there forever, who's to say that the next Russian leader might not be more like Gorbachev.
    1
  20437. Not to this extent.
    1
  20438. People need to remember that greedy parasitic lawyers, who thrive on the pain and misery of others, get far more than our junior doctors, who are often worked to the bone. That vile creature Steve Barclay is himself a lawyer, and is the main reason things have got to this stage. Instead of paying doctors fairly he is trying to blackmail them, and turn the public against them: exactly what one would expect from a lawyer.
    1
  20439. Well said, sir! It's a tragedy when the government's lockdowns destroy a business. It's a tragedy when the government's lockdowns destroy a job. It's a tragedy when the government's lockdowns destroy a young person's education. It's a tragedy when the government's lockdowns destroy a young person's mental health. And the biggest tragedy of all is that all these lockdowns and restrictions don't destroy the pandemic, because they are totally ineffective! Both Sweden and Brazil, with none of this lockdown insanity, have LOWER death rates than the UK, even 10 months later.
    1
  20440. From the small size of these drones, and minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched from within Moscow, or very close to the city. With this in mind, and how little damage they did, there's a really good chance that Putin's own FSB goons launched them in order to frighten Russians into supporting him.
    1
  20441. "the trend could be reversed" Wake up people! The government wants to keep you scared. Frightened people are willing to give up their freedom and liberty: they do whatever the government says, without question. The cowering snowflakes are desperate to get their jabs. Their fear makes sure that they don't question vaccine safety, and want to force it on everyone else regardless of whether they need it. Delete the NHS app, if you were stupid enough to download it, and ditch your mask. Try breathing in the sweet scent of freedom, you might like it.

  20447. This fearmongering has been going on from the start. We were given a lottery style "anyone can die from covid-19", but like the lottery most people's chances are really small. This has always been a virus that kills well under 1%, who are mainly very old and/or very sick. Then there was the outright lie that you can catch covid-19 again. This is incredibly rare as it is confined to those who are immunocompromised. And on this front the lies and disinformation are continuing. Despite lots of highly reputable research, people are not being told that those who recover from covid-19 have excellent long term natural immunity. In fact, this immunity may even last a lifetime, and be better than that conferred by any vaccine. Vaccinating such people benefit no one. It's like watering your garden after it has been raining solidly for a week. And yet the government seems hell bent on forcing vaccination on such people.

  20448. Jihad monkeys?

  20449. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  20450. Is it any wonder the Russian troops are getting their arses kicked? What kind of moron is stupid enough to obey orders telling them to stay and dig trenches in a radioactive area? In their position, I'd rather shoot those giving the orders and take my chances surrendering to the Ukrainian forces.
    1
  20451. Am I the only one seeing a familiar pattern? The "war on drugs" has had only one effect. It's pushed their price up and made ever more money for organised crime and gangs. If they weren't illegal it probably wouldn't be financially viable to grow, refine and distribute most of them. It's like the covid-19 lockdowns. They didn't bloody work, but were repeated again and again, and still are in some places. When I used to work in I.T. I sometimes took the wrong approach, but I put my hand up as soon as I knew this, and ultimately it saved far more than trying to hide things!

  20455. Does anyone think the state pension is generous, because it's one of the meanest in the developed world? Many people need operations like hip and knee replacements as they get older, and these are very expensive (£10,000 to £20,000) if one wants to go privately instead of waiting years in debilitating agony for an operation on the NHS. Things like root canals and good crowns are also expensive. If someone is prudent enough to save money for such eventualities is it right to cut their pension for doing so? Badenoch has demonstrated what most people know. The Tories only care about the rich!

  20458. If people are struggling that much then why do I still see roads gridlocked by people who don't need to drive? Why do I still see coffee shops, fast food joints and pubs still packed? And why are more people than ever heading off on foreign holidays. The current government may well be a wunch of bankers, but this doesn't give Labour license to lie and exaggerate.

  20461. None of us are in the least surprised to hear that it was Hamas that shelled the convoy. They are desperate to intimidate civilians into staying in North Gaza, so that they can use them as a human shield. Hamas have always hidden behind civilians, and been happy to see them die in their place!

  20462. Putin's permanent "removal" from power is also a requirement.

  20463. Complete LIE! And comments that point this out are being removed. The person in question had already been admitted for something else.

  20469. If the Tories want to lose the votes of millions of pensioners then there is no better way to do it than making the PENSION THIEF the next PM. Millions of OAPs were CHEATED out of their rightful triple lock rise by Rich Boy Sunak. He increased their already very meagre state pension by a pathetic 3.1%, when they should have got very close to 10%: and even then many would still have really struggled. Can the Conservatives really afford to throw away these votes?

  20470. There's an even faster track to help Ukraine. Many American, British and Polish fighter pilots are straining at the leash to be sent on missions to decimate the Orcs, and their equipment, in Ukraine. Let these boys do the job they were trained to do!

You have got to be soft in the head to believe that anywhere close to that percentage can't work. The true value is at the very most 5%, and probably a lot closer to 2.5%.

On this basis NATO and the West would be fully justified in taking out Iran's nuclear fuel enrichment facilities, its munition factories, supplying Putin, and its homicidal clerics and Revolutionary Guards. Oppressed Iranians, who are being murdered, Ukrainians, Israelis, and others too would laud such an action. I bet Trump would be happy to sanction a strike on Iran!

Also real crime often goes unpunished, whereas exercising your right to free speech can earn you a lengthy prison sentence. Indeed, this government even seems set on introducing medieval blasphemy laws.

  20495. Well if you are a deranged psychopath then I guess having around 100,000 of your soldiers killed or maimed doesn't count as losing anything, and who cares about the odd flagship sunk or all the jets and helicopters totaled. No, nothing of any value has been lost.

  20499. Having a vaccine passport is tantamount to forcibly vaccinating people, since those without one will suffer very serious discrimination, thus coercing them into getting vaccinated. Creating them to satisfy other countries, or even worse airlines, is a surrender of our national sovereignty. How dare any of these dictate British policy! If other countries refuse entry to Brits then a simple tit for tat retaliation will soon bring them to heel. And discrimination by airlines can simply be made illegal.

  20508. Not humiliating Putin is about the most ridiculous and offensive suggestion I've heard. No nation wants to have a leader who is laughed at and mocked by the rest of the world. The greater the humiliation we can inflict on Putin, the greater the chance that he will be "removed" from power!

  20509. Well, by design, most Russian generals aren't very bright. Putin knows that if they were they would pose a serious threat to him. But even a thick Russian general should realise just how precarious his position is.
    1
  20510. I trust that, like anyone else found guilty of such an offence, he will receive a lengthy jail sentence.
    1
  20511. Yes, Sunak is a complete toss-pot, but when are people going to realise that Starmer would be vastly worse? Though you won't hear it on the BBC, there have now been several studies showing that the insanely damaging lockdowns were totally ineffective. Starmer supported them ardently for one reason only. He KNEW that they would cause incredible damage to the country and it's people, and was actually counting on exactly this, so that the Tories would become very unpopular. Without Labour support these insane lockdowns could never have happened. Starmer sacrificed the wellbeing of the entire country to improve his chances of getting his foot in No.10!
    1
  20512. It's sad to see people being successfully intimidated by this despotic Nazi government and their Gestapo pig police. I felt so sorry for that poor woman, in the pink helmet, crying. The best thing people can do is NOT go home and get vaccinated. Far more people need to take to the streets and be prepared to give bully boy police a bloody nose they won't forget. You have to stand up to bullies! But it's always best to cut off the head of the snake, and if someone could get to the likes of Dan Andrews then things would improve very quickly.
    1
  20513. Well, a lot of weak little men go into politics, because pushing other people around and trampling on their rights makes them feel like big men. I'm guessing that Trudeau spent his high school break times hiding from the big boys who used to hold his head down the toilet.
    1
  20514. Nice to hear people finally singing from the same page I've been singing from for months. These insane, and cowardly, lockdowns and restrictions overwhelmingly benefit the rich and powerful, and crucify the poorest, far more than the virus ever would. But scumbag Starmer is only interested in supporting the government so that they will make themselves unelectable in a few years. He doesn't give a toss about the poor, just maximizing his own chance of getting into No. 10.
    1
  20515. I'll be very surprised if the scum in Downing Street don't jump at this opportunity to scare people. But what it's so important to remember is there is no iron clad proof that this is due to reinfection. We emphatically do not have reports of infections in those who had previously recovered from covid-19. This is the only reliable evidence for reinfection, and it simply doesn't exist.
    1
  20516. With Poland no longer prepared to supply weapons, and the possibility of America also stopping if Republicans win the next election, time might now be against Ukraine. They need to redouble their efforts, rather than slow down or stop for the Winter!
    1
  20517. So, what would you chose? 1. Pay Estonia many millions of pounds to house our criminals. 2. Make space by deporting foreign criminals. I'm guessing that the vast majority would choose option 2.
    1
  20518. "anti_Israel" - a euphemism for anti-Semite!
    1
  20519. Dr. John, I like your comment that this will probably be the end of the pandemic. God fearing people might well see Omicron as his Christmas present to a beleaguered world. Unfortunately the Downing Street Devils seem determined to take away this gift.
    1
  20520. Lockdown is also the cause of our current economic crisis and the NHS being in its worst state ever. The worst part is that several recent and reputable studies have found that lockdowns were totally ineffective. And it's not as if government wasn't warned about all of this right from the start. The REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, said all this and published it a few months later in the Great Barrington Declaration: signed by thousands of scientists. But, like a petulant child, the government deliberately ignored those best able to advise them.

  20521. I sincerely hope that Mossad won't forget the cowardly leader of Hamas who is living a life of luxury in Qatar. Taking him out would send a very clear and important message.

  20524.  @spiffenage1  You're a bit of an angry Nazi, aren't you.
    1
  20525. The brutal truth is that after months of protesting, hundreds of murdered protestors, and thousands more arrested and tortured, the clerics and their Revolutionary Guard goons are still completely in control. As I said from the start, despotic dictators don't freely relinquish power because people voice their discontent. You have to be prepared to FIGHT for your freedom!

  20526. We need to get lots of those out to Ukrainian fighters ASAP!
    1
  20527. Like the UK Ireland has some uninhabited islands off its coast. Unlike the pathetic UK government it needs to hold these ILLEGALS on some of them.
    1
  20528. What about them being honest with us about the millions perpetrating benefit fraud? Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that 9.4 million of working age (that's 25%) are unable to work? Putting a stop to this would rake in billions of pounds!
    1
  20529. Estonia sounds like an even worse money wasting scheme than Rwanda. A VERY LARGE MAJORITY in this country would favour making space in prisons by deporting foreign criminals. Germany is happy to send them to countries like Afghanistan, and so should we be.
    1
  20530. With so many fleeing, many of those who thought they weren't going to be conscripted are now much more likely to find themselves served with a death warrant. This thought should greatly increase the panic, and number attempting to flee. It will be very interesting to see what happens when Putin attempts to close the borders to these men.
    1
  20531. What Biden said is what every sane person, including those in Russia, wants. That million dollar bounty needs to be massively increased, along with the offer of a new identity, for whoever puts mad dog Putin down.
    1
  20532. 6%? I heard that it was much closer to 10%. But in either case if the imbeciles in Downing Street go ahead with this then LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. Even before this pandemic the NHS was chronically understaffed and under immense pressure. Gratuitously sacking 6% of what's left is like pouring petrol on a fire that desperately needs to be extinguished. The government has had its bluff called and now has no choice but to retreat with its tail between its legs, unless it is prepared to wantonly kill people.
    1
  20533. A major exercise in the area, followed by an invasion. What deranged psychopath did we see doing exactly the same thing about a year ago? How might things now be going if that deranged psychopath had been taken out beforehand?
    1
  20534. Sorry, but to be worthy of support I expect people to actually fight for their freedom and not just bleat like sheep. This, in total contrast to those in Afghanistan and Iran, is why we feel so much more admiration and sympathy for the people in Ukraine.
    1
  20535. ​ @fitgirl8812  The only Russians that Putin suits are those who admire Stalin or Hitler.

  20536. Bring it on! I hope the infection rate speeds up dramatically. EXTREMELY MILD Omicron offers the very real potential to quickly, and SAFELY, spread herd immunity, and end this pandemic.

  20537. Russians lie.
    1
  20538. Well let me see. How we can start to fix things? There is a woman next door to me who is in good health but hasn't done an honest day's work in her entire 50 to 60 years. There are are plenty of jobs being advertised in Enfield. There are many thousands of spongers like her. Maybe if we made people like this work, instead of giving them benefits, that would help.
    1
  20539.  @just_another32  Agreed.
    1
  20540. What kind of economic plan is spending around £40,000 per year per illegal migrant to keep them in luxury hotels, and several hundred million to France to escort the boats into English ports? What kind of economic plan completely ignores the tens of billions of pounds that are being lost each year to benefit fraud? Farage will have to work damn hard to screw the economy more than Labour is already doing!
    1
  20541. I'm now really scared of the Russians, because they have time travelling missiles. As someone else mentioned they were launched in winter and landed in Summer. However the Ukrainians must have got cloaking technology from the Klingons, because I couldn't see any armoured vehicles in the field.
    1
  20542. Until Turkey stops blocking Sweden's and Finland's NATO membership no Western country should give them any help! Turkey supports Putin and is now getting just a very small taste of what he has inflicted upon innocent Ukrainian women and children for nearly a year.
    1
  20543. Despite their protests, most of the media says what government want the to say!

  20544. Putin's puppets learnt well from their master about rigging elections. If Georgians ever hope to see democracy and freedom again then they are going to have to fight for it NOW!

  20545. So far just empty words from Pakistan. Is a nuclear power going to let itself be humiliated by an upstart state like Iran?
    1
  20546. Call me cynical, but it looks as if the scaremongers are gagging to understand that this variant is more transmissible, but taking their own sweet time to accept that it is EXTREMELY MILD.
    1
  20547. It's just a pity that most of those fleeing are doing so purely to save their own skins, and not because they know that Putin's genocide is wrong, or care. This is why the Baltic states won't let them in.
    1
  20548. The intense stupidity of most people never ceases to amaze me. Most willingly lined up for a "vaccine" they didn't need, that hadn't even undergone the normal 4 years or so safety trials. Then a few years later most still voted Labour or Conservative when they had other choices.
    1
  20549. The West's greatest weakness is the large number of bleeding heart liberals who think that if you say "pretty please" to terrorists, and are nice to them, that they will change their ways. These BHLs, whose bravest act is changing lanes on the motorway, tied our brave soldiers hands behind their backs, instead of giving them carte blanche to do what needed to be done. That's why the Taliban are back!

  20550. On the plus side, when MPs and judges get targeted they finally think about getting tough on crime.
    1
  20551. The spending may be bigger, but a lot of it is syphoned off in corruption, and currently Russia has lost a hell of a lot of men and hardware. Why else are they buying weapons from Iran and soldiers from North Korea?
    1
  20552. In the UNLIKELY event that they do, you can be fairly certain that Uncle Sam has more and better ones, but rather than publicising the fact is keeping a few surprises up it's sleeve for the axis of evil.
    1
  20553. Wake up people! The government is desperately grasping, at the flimsiest of straws, for an excuse to bring back masks. And if they think the public will let them get away with it they will cancel Christmas too. This should be called the Fluffy Kitten variant, because it is so innocuous. South Africa doctors have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact, with these rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines proving to be not that effective this is the perfect opportunity to let what is essentially a harmless variant give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. A hot off the press Harvard study has just found that NOBODY who recovered from covid-19 suffered reinfection!
    1
  20554. Let's see if Reform UK get elected to take his place, as I don't think he is now eligible to be an MP.
    1
  20555. I'm sick of hearing this stupid question. Does any sane person really believe that Putin has been holding back on Ukraine? Putin can neither retaliate or escalate, because he simply doesn't have the resources to do so. And his generals won't launch nukes for him because they don't want so see their families and loved ones annihilated in return.
    1
  20556. It sounds like Georgia, similarly to Belarus, has a puppet government run by Moscow. Both of these countries need to take full advantage of Russia's current weakness and install properly elected governments. Georgia also needs to take back the 20% of its territory that Putin stole.
    1
  20557. The threat will become so much greater if we allow Putin to win in Ukraine!
    1
  20558. Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that Putin has previously been holding back?

  20559. If these figures are correct then the Patriot missiles, when they arrive, should be a game changer!

  20561. I'm betting that the majority in many countries would like to see their government do the same.
    1
  20562. Does this "professor" not read the studies? The recent large one in Bangladesh, carried out by Yale and Stamford, concluded that the cloth face masks, worn by the vast majority, were about as much use as a condom with the end cut off!
    1
  20563. Unless Emperor Xi's peace plan involves Russia withdrawing from all of Ukraine, including Crimea then it is a non starter. If it does then Putin won't accept because it would definitely mean the end of his rule, and maybe his life too.
    1
  20564. And Moscow into its Nagasaki twin.

  20566. ​ @truth.speaker  Have a look at this very recent video, by an American doctor, who cites a large and thorough study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrAC01Xklc&t=2s As you can see, both natural immunity and that conferred by vaccines are vastly better than the liars in Downing Street would have you believe. That's why we now have "Delta Plus". They are constantly having to invent new lies as their old ones get demolished.

  20572. What Putin is doing to Ukraine is exactly the same as Hitler's blitz on the UK.
    1
  20573. Just how bloody stupid are most MPs? This is already an area really struggling to get staff. The work is bloody hard and the pay is crap. Most of these workers would be far better off stacking shelves in Lidl. So what do MPs do? Encourage the few workers there are to leave. But what's really and truly completely moronic is that many of these staff will have had covid-19, and so now have excellent long term natural immunity. They, and those they look after, gain absolutely nothing from being vaccinated!
    1
  20574. Before idiots voted for TTK people like me said, time and time again, that the only thing he wanted was to get his foot in the door of No. 10., and that he would say and promise anything to do so. I used to think that Britain could never get a worse PM than John Major, but he looks like a shining star next to Starmer.

  20575. As these men appear to be volunteers, who were happy to go off and murder Ukrainians, it's a joy to see how they have been shafted.

  20578. I didn't vote Labour. However, I can't see too many people in the UK getting upset about companies being made to pay more tax. Now, if most of their profits went to their workers then the sentiment might be different.

  20579. I wonder if most people have a clue just how demanding being a good fighter pilot is. I remember a work colleague's husband, who was one, telling me what they have to go through.

    1
  20584. When are the schmucks going to wake up. First it was 2 jabs. Now it is a booster. And I would bet good money that by summer it will be jab number 4. Like the lockdowns that failed miserably we have the same approach with these vaccines. Of course, the government will do anything rather than admit that NATURAL IMMUNITY is the ONLY way out of this pandemic, and that they should have followed the advice given by the REAL experts right at the start, and subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, which so many scientists signed.
    1
  20585. Yeah right, like he was going to take Ukraine in 3 days. The hunting season, for deranged little psychopaths, has just opened.

    1
  20587. Isn't it amazing. You talk to people about all this and most of them seem opposed to not only vaccine passports, but many other restrictions. Then on mainstream TV all those interviewed seem wholeheartedly behind whatever restrictions their government has imposed. Of course our mainstream media wouldn't dream of not broadcasting any interviews that disagreed with government policy would they? And it was just vastly more important news, like the cricket score, that edged out the reporting of some absolutely massive anti-lockdown demos.
    1
  20588. If tents are good enough for them in France then why not in the UK? And we have over 7,700 islands, so there are plenty of places to put those tents and illegals.
    1
  20589. But to balance this the BBC has shamelessly supported all the government's lockdowns and other covid-19 restrictions. They haven't reported on the vast number of truly massive protests, in the UK and throughout the world. They have used incredibly selective interviewing to grossly distort how most people felt about restrictions. And their handling of natural immunity would have made even Josef Goebbels blush.
    1
  20590. A great many of us strongly suspect that Germany has always wanted Putin to win as quickly as possible, so that there is the minimum of interference to their trade with Russia.
    1
  20591. An absolutely minute taste of what so many Ukrainians have had to go through for 18 months. If Russians don't like this happening to them all they have to do is "remove" Putin and get the hell out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
    1
  20592. ​ @peacelove2.0.69  Exactly. We need to remember what happened when we acceded to Hitler's Anschluss and seizure of the Sudetenland. Such appeasement didn't pacify him it emboldened him, and Putin is cut from the same cloth.
    1
  20593. Aha, an ideal place to send illegal migrants to!
    1
  20594. That's my thinking. Hamas wouldn't hesitate to kill 1000s of Palestinians as long as they could blame it on Israel.
    1
  20595. If Trump can convince the American electorate that he really will carry out a huge and rapid deportation of illegal immigrants then he stands a really good chance of winning. Because such a policy in the UK and many other European countries would also be wildly popular.

  20599. Often it's not "gaps in the labour market". It's much more a case of both employers and consumers unwilling to see workers receive a fair wage. Compare the minimum wage with what lawyers charge per hour. Maybe that's why there is no gap in their labour market.
    1
  20600. NO! Gestapo pig police "crossed the line", using teargas and rubber bullets against peaceful demonstrators. These pigs don't seem so brave and tough when they are up against big strong construction workers who can, and will, fight back! Actually the Shrine of Remembrance was a very apt place to protest. It commemorates those who gave their lives fighting the kind of despotic Nazi oppression that Australians are now enduring.
    1
  20601. Well, Russia has a very long history of anti-Semitic pogroms, so no change there.
    1
  20602. The media need to be honest and report the FACTS: 1. This virus kills well under 1%. It poses negligible risk to most people. 2. Those who recover gain excellent natural immunity that may last a lifetime. 3. These vaccines have nor undergone the usual minimum 4 years SAFEY TESTING. Most people have nothing to worry about. Stop trying to scare them!!!
    1
  20603. Business as usual for Russia: striking civilian targets, and women and children. I had a good laugh yesterday when I saw a post, by one of Putin's trolls, claiming that the Orcs had captured a leopard tank. Everybody knows Russians are unbelievably crap on the battlefield, against real soldiers.
    1
  20604. But the MILLIONS who shouldn't be getting benefits aren't being hit at all! As anyone can check, a few days ago the BBC reported that 9.4 million of working age weren't even looking for work. That's 25% of the working age population. Does anyone believe that even half of these are too sick to work?
    1
  20605. Maybe the French will lift their travel ban for Scumbag Starmer, so that he can learn that the opposition isn't there to rubber stamp whatever the government wants, especially when a large number of its own are in revolt.

  20615. There never has been any evidence supporting the child abuse that has been piled upon students. But, of course, contrary to their claims, the government has never "listened to the science".

  20616. Agreed, but what I'd like to know is why YouTube keeps removing a lot of comments like this.
    1
  20617. Well, at the world is now watching NZ's comedy show rather than the one going on in Australia.
    1
  20618. So we are told that vaccines are effective against variants, yet the government is going all Chicken Little over countries that have them. Does that really sound like "listening to the science". People have endured enough crap from this government for near 18 months. They really don't deserve to have a well earned summer holiday stolen from them, or to be priced out of it by the demand to have totally unnecessary tests.
    1
  20619. This is actually a criminal offence of animal cruelty, among others. But I'm guessing that WOKE police have no intention of prosecuting those involved. Of course, they could just be far too busy tearing down posters of those kidnapped by Hamas.

  20620. Putin is on record as saying he wants to restore "historic Russia". So if we allow Ukraine to fall Putin will definitely go after other countries.

    1
  20628. I'm surprised YouTube allowed you to say "lockdowns don't work". They removed a post of mine for stating the simple FACT that there isn't a strong correlation between the death rates in different countries and the degree of lockdowns that they had.
    1
  20629. Nobody will cry when Putin subsequently murders Prigozhin. It's hard to believe he really thinks Putin will let him live after this. Once he started his mutiny he had no choice but to see it through if he wants a chance at living. I can only guess that he was banking on support that didn't materialise. If he doesn't somehow end Putin then Putin will most certainly hunt him down.

    1
  20633. Yes, it's strange that a genocidal dictator like Putin is pinning his hopes on the Republicans, who brand themselves as the most freedom loving party.
    1
  20634. Since most would be Reform UK voters are unhappy with BOTH Labour and Conservative an alliance with either would lose votes. However, an indication that a deal could be done to form a coalition with the LIbDems, depending on the election results, might well encourage the cowards to no longer vote for either of the two evil parties that have hurt this country so much.
    1
  20635. This woman, and those who believe her, have never heard of Occam's razor. If a thing seems far too convoluted to be true then it very likely isn't true. And let's remember that Putin really isn't particularly bright: he was a third rate KGB operative. So imagining this is some cunning plan of his is very fanciful.

  20636. The expression "fool's paradise" springs to mind. The Isle of Man depends on tourism, and as soon as this restarts they WILL have infections again.

  20637. It is amazing just how many lazy, parasitic spongers we have in this country. They are expert at milking the system, and a good percentage have never done a decent day's work in their entire life, with many producing litters of children with which to further burden society. The idea that you can sit on your arse, and sponge off those who do work, needs to be expunged. These people should at the very least be FORCED to do jobs that benefit the community, like keeping our streets and parks absolutely spotless.

  20644. The plan to put VAT on private school fees shows that Labour is still hell bent on pursuing policies based on pure envy, even if they cost the country dearly. Increasing the cost of private education by 20% will definitely remove a lot of kids from private education. They will receive no tax on these kids, but they will then have to find more money to educate these kids in state schools, or see class sizes increase and standards fall even more. The best way to actually SAVE money, and improve both education and the NHS, would be to give tax breaks to those paying for education and private health care.

  20646. Anyone who thinks vaccine passports have any purpose other than coercing young people to get vaccinated is either profoundly stupid or lying to themselves. Stopping people mixing in nightclubs and at football matches doesn't stop them mixing a lot more in so many other places. So such a measure will have no significant impact on the spread of infection. Any sensible young person knows that they shouldn't be taking a rushed through and poorly tested vaccine, for which we cannot possibly no the long term effects. Covid-19 poses a negligible risk to young people, and there is also the fact that a high proportion now have excellent natural immunity that research indicates may be 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity. Vaccine passports are designed purely to make young people's lives as miserable as possible, if they don't get injections they don't need!

Also, no convincing evidence has ever been presented that shutting schools reduced the spread of this virus. In spite of all this parents rolled over and did nothing.

And that's before we take into account that these vaccines are not 100% safe, and that we don't know their long term effects.

In the UK a recent freedom of information request, to our Office for National Statistics, revealed that just 17,500 healthy people have died from covid-19, and most were over 65. That's a hell of a lot less than the 150,000 that our elites would have us believe. There are two fundamental facts that these people seem incapable of grasping: 1. Covid-19 poses NEGLIGIBLE risk to about 99% of the population. 2. Natural immunity is so much better and longer lasting than these poorly tested vaccines. Given these two FACTS you have to be incredibly DUMB to impose vaccine mandates. In fact, you have to be incredibly dumb to impose lockdowns or mask wearing (most of which don't work anyway).

Any honest scientist would say that far from being enormously worrying, the Omicron data is extremely promising. South African doctors have characterised this variant as very infectious, but EXTREMELY MILD. As such it has the very real potential to rapidly and SAFELY confer PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions of people. All over the world, many honest doctors are expressing the view that this variant might actually bring this pandemic to an end. Dan Altmann should be deeply ashamed of his scaremongering, and the disrepute he is bringing upon Imperial College.

Based on this assumption the statement is CORRECT! The fact is that Australia has been a really bad bastard when it comes to trying to fight climate change. The evidence for climate change is overwhelming. Australia calls itself The Lucky Country. Most of us would be more inclined to call it The Selfish Country. Or, perhaps The Stupid Country might be more appropriate, since Australians insist on telling themselves that all the recent floods, droughts and fires are just part of the normal cycle: ignoring the fact that they have become much more frequent and severe.

  20699. Vaccine passports serve but one purpose, to make young people's lives as miserable as possible, if they don't get a vaccine: that they absolutely do not need. They are at negligible risk from covid-19 and the natural immunity that those who don't get vaccinated will eventually achieve is 13 times better than vaccine induced immunity, and will probably last them a lifetime. Sadly many young people are naive enough to trust the government, and willing to take the risk that there will be no long term side effects due to the vaccine. Ironically this totally evil policy may backfire badly. Because immunity from these vaccines doesn't seem to last that long. So looking further than just the next few months ahead, young people catching covid-19 and getting better and very long lasting immunity may well be a much more sustainable solution.

The FACT is that after 18 months we haven't got strong scientific or statistical evidence to support any variant being significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have is ministers gibbering like frightened children over the very remote possibility that variants are suddenly going to start behaving totally differently than they have in the last 18 months. Is this a valid excuse for messing with people's lives?

  20722. Can we please end this scaremongering nonsense! If people weren't infected with the Delta variant then they would almost certainly be infected with another variant. So the Delta variant beats another variant to the host, either because it is in the right place at the right time, or better at latching on: i.e. more transmissible. There's absolutely no evidence that it's more deadly, and vaccines (and natural immunity) are effective against it. So stop making such a bloody fuss. Oh, and believe it or not, once people get wise and stop being scared about this variant the government have already got the Delta Plus variant, waiting in the wings, to scare people with. For grifter governments, with gullible, frightened sheep, the variant theme is a scam that just keeps on giving.

  20742. No, idiot governments, and their lapdog "scientists" thought it would work! The brightest real scientists said from the outset that this would definitely not work. They advised just isolating the most vulnerable and letting everyone else get on with life as herd immunity developed. Months later this same advice was published in the Great Barrington Declaration for all to see. It is very clear that this would have worked because we have a virus that kills well under 1%, is quite contagious, and once people recover they have very good immunity to it. In fact moronic governments have given us the more infectious Delta variant. Their lockdowns and restrictions put strong evolutionary pressure on this virus that favoured variants that could spread more effectively. The reason no government will acknowledge this excellent natural immunity that almost all those who have had covid-19 now have is that they desperately want people to forget about the advice in the GBD, which they ignored: they can dream on.

  20760. We all know that, in the same way that they are supplying Putin, Iran is the only possible source for the thousands of rockets that Hamas managed to get hold of. Does anyone seriously doubt that if Iran had already developed nuclear weapons it would not have given some to Hamas? Does anyone also doubt that Hamas would have used them against Israel? It's way past time that every munitions factory, and uranium enrichment facility, in Iran was completely destroyed!

But far more importantly, this should demonstrate Russia's weakness to countries like Georgia, which should now seize the opportunity to retake the 20% of its territory that Putin stole from them, just like he stole Crimea.
    1
  20768. Let's calm down and get some perspective on this. 800 out of 150,000 is only about 0.5%. Then we need to consider two other things: 1. There are probably a lot more cases than have been reported. 2. Many of those 800 probably didn't die from covid-19. So the well established IFR of about 0.3% is still holding, and overall this virus is killing just 1 to 2 in 1000, who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. Folks, this is NOT a bad-ass virus. It's danger has been blown out of all proportion by craven snowflakes and politicians who use it as an excuse to grab power. Despite all the scaremongering the populations in countries like India and Brazil are still GROWING, at a dangerous rate!

It seems that even after 70 years Russia still has no hesitation in committing unspeakable atrocities.

Also, any charity ferrying these people to the UK should be treated exactly like the people smuggling gangs.

When was the last time you saw a school teacher or university lecturer anywhere near this age? This virus poses almost zero risk to the vast majority of students and their teachers/lecturers. I am so sick of hearing people whinging about it being passed on to granny. Instead of buggering the hell out of young people's education and mental health, the relatively few highly vulnerable should be well isolated. It's the morally right thing to do.

  20803. People need to watch and share this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuc7Db4KnIo&fbclid In it Dr. Keith Moran shows us that covid-19 is only about 3 times more deadly than influenza. Is this really enough to justify butt-raping the economy and destroying peoples jobs, education and futures? But wait, it gets far more interesting. If you look at fatality by age then if you are under 70 you are more likely to die from influenza, and as you get younger that likelihood increases rapidly. What's unforgiveable is that Blow Job and other leaders have known this for months. But instead of having the honesty, decency and courage to admit they screwed up on a colossal scale they are continuing to torment people and further destroy their lives.

  20807. It's precisely because of the timidity that Biden is now displaying that Putin felt emboldened to attack Ukraine in the first place, and will continue with his genocide. Most of what has been done to Ukraine depends on fuel and supply depots, and railway infrastructure close to Ukraine, on the Russian side of the border. Ukraine should definitely be given the means to take this out. This is military strategy 101!

  20808. These drills are needed to convince the saner minds in Russia that if they allow their deranged psychopath to nuke a NATO city then Russia will be history minutes later.

  20817. This must be the first decent and sensible thing that Starmer has said in regard to covid-19. Of course if Downing Street stopped trying to deny natural immunity and was prepared to accept either antibodies or Memory B and T cells, as evidence, then things would go a hell of a lot smoother. Natural immunity isn't going away, no matter how much Downing Street denies it.
    1
  20818. Most footballers are quite young, and therefore covid-19 poses a really tiny risk to them. A lot of them will already have had covid-19 and now have natural immunity, which is better and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. Why on earth would they want to risk vaccines that have been rushed through instead of undergoing the usual minimum 4 years of safety trials. Well done those 5 England players. You are setting a good example to younger people, many of whom often seem like sheep fighting to get into the abattoir.
    1
  20819. John, I've been vigorously pushing the idea of long term immunity for months, so it's very satisfying to now find strong support for it. However it really does seem to me that the BBC, and indeed most of the UK media are deliberately ignoring everything that supports this view. As I'm sure we would also agree on, the risk posed by this virus to the vast majority (around 99%) of the population is minuscule. Yet once again the BBC seems to go out of its way to ignore his. I'm not generally one for conspiracy theories, but I really do wonder if the media is deliberately aiding government in keeping most people really frightened so that they will accept all the constraints on their freedom. Also, we now seem to have high levels of infections but very low numbers of deaths, or even hospitalizations. So one must ask whether, in this context, it makes any sense to still have the lockdowns, quarantines and social distancing, considering the terrible toll they are taking on people's lives. Is there strong evidence to suggest that deaths and hospitalizations would massively increase without them? I suspect that their continued application is because if they were stopped then governments (except for Sweden) would have to answer some very difficult questions about their handling of this virus. My honest view on this is that most governments are hoping to play the same game until (or more accurately if) they get a vaccine. Then they will be able to get away with conning populations into believing that their panicked knee jerk approach was correct.

All the most vulnerable, except the refuseniks and a very few who can't be vaccinated, have had both jabs. The rest are at incredibly low risk from covid-19. As far as significant deaths are concerned it's game over. Anyone with even half a brain (those with a whole one would never have downloaded in the first place) will delete this NHS app. If I was an employer, having this app in the workplace would constitute gross misconduct!

  20825. The vast excess of management and admin staff is a cancer throughout British organisations, sapping resources that could be much better used. In itself this would be bad enough, but these parasites also often make life much harder for those doing the real work. Here are 3 examples: 1. Around 50 years ago, when I was at school there was usually a head, deputy and one or two receptionists/secretaries. That was all schools needed. Take a look at what this has now ballooned to. 2. About 45 years ago the registries of most universities were often well run by 3 or 4 elderly ladies. Admin staff numbers at universities have now gone through the roof, and many of these have the temerity to tell professors and lecturers which students should be offered places! 3. Then we have the workplace. Almost all used to function very well with a small payroll department. This was all they were responsible for. Those who knew the kind of people that a company needed did the recruiting and then told payroll who was starting when, and on what salary. Now we have jumped up HR departments who try to tell those who know far better than them who they should recruit.

  20834. Here are two truthful FACTS that YouTube keep removing: 1. If you analyse the correlation between lockdowns and the death rate from Covid you will see that it is very weak. 2. Research in Israel and at the Cleaveland clinic, among other places, showed that natural immunity after Covid infection was very robust and appeared to be long lasting. In other words, people previously infected should never have been vaccinated.

  20840. If the WHO wasn't stuffed to the gills with incompetents, and people jealous that it wasn't their idea, they would have very strongly recommended following the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration. The eminent international scientists who drafted this recognised that lockdowns would not work. This is now abundantly clear, and only becomes clearer the longer this pandemic goes on. What the GBD recommended was just isolating the most vulnerable, and letting everyone else get on with their lives. If this had been followed we DEFINITELY WOULD have seen the following: 1. Fewer deaths and hospitalisations 2. Herd immunity in many countries. 3. Few businesses and jobs destroyed. 4. Young people would not have had their education buggered to hell. 5. Many millions would not now have serious mental heath issues.

  20841. There's no need for a deal. These people aren't entitled to enter the UK, and they set off from France, so return them to France. If the French won't let them land then leave them in French territorial waters, but so far south that they have to make for France rather than the UK. Of course, Sunak is far too weak a man to do this. Why do we expect the French to help us? They want these ILLEGALS even less than we do!

  20843. Starmer wants to know why we are in recession. Well it's mainly because HE supported incredibly damaging lockdowns and restrictions. Sars-cov-2 posed no threat to over 99% of the population, so many Tory backbenchers vigorously opposed the insane and totally unnecessary measures. Without Starmer's and Labour's steadfast support Downing Street could never have pushed them through, and we would now be laughing along with the Swedes.

  20850. Let's be HONEST! If we consider infection RATES and death RATES, then India is faring far better than most countries. India has a very large population, so looking at raw numbers is highly disingenuous, and done purely to create a sensational news story. There is also a very sound reason why India is coping so badly. Once again, in relation to its population size, India's health care provision is appalling. This is the main reason that its health system is being overwhelmed. If the rich and the powerful had previously done the decent thing and properly cared for the vast numbers of poor in India they would now have the facilities to cope quite well. At the risk of sounding callous, there is definitely an element of poetic justice in this.

  20866. If the vaccines do work then they most certainly will stop people getting this virus or spreading it: no ifs, buts or maybes. But this government doesn't want people to stop "following the rules" a couple of weeks after their jab, so they are doing what they do best, LIE.

So rather than cut off the gas now, in the summer, when it doesn't matter nearly as much, he will encourage our politicians to carry on doing nothing. Germany should have already been working for many months on restarting it's nuclear power stations. However, as happened 12 to 13 years ago winters in places like Berlin can be vicious. "Winter is coming", and the Night King Putin will then grab our politicians by the balls and give them a good twist.

Out of the Tories and Labour they decide which of the two they fear and hate the least, and vote for that party. So nothing ever changes. The British voter needs to have the guts to vote for the party (s)he really wants! Then things will change.

  20887. I sincerely hope this is a lull for just these soldiers, and not a general one. A major contributor to Ukrainian success has been not giving the Orcs breathing space in which to establish defences. It's easier to kill vermin out in the open than dig them out of a hole first.

  20888. Not a military target in sight. Only a deranged psychopath like Putin could imagine that murdering and terrorizing civilians is going to make them more willing to accept Russian rule. Such attacks only reinforce how important it is to defeat Putin.

    1
  20893. There is a respectable way out of this. Those who can get close to Putin "remove" him, and his so-called "strong men" from power. If they do this then the humiliation falls on Putin and his stooges, rather than Russia. I would suspect that the more humiliation that is dealt out the more will be the desire to put it all on Putin. It also wouldn't hurt if that million dollar bounty were made ten or even one hundred times bigger.

  20901. Thankfully, at 62 I'm currently not badly affected by the UK government's mismanagement of this epidemic, but I'd like to give the perspective that I think is common to an awful lot of people and growing more so everyday. It may also explain why many won't wear masks, and attend raves and parties. There is intense anger at the way the government has mishandled this. Looking at the figures it appears that if I were to take a totally random sample of the population, then the probability of someone dying from covid-19 is between about 1 and 2 in a 1000. And for the vast majority, the threat from covid-19 is 10 to 100 times lower, or even less. So the government has destroyed millions of jobs and futures for the sake of well under 1% of the population. To me this seems morally indefensible. When one looks at the cost to the economy it's hard to believe that effective shielding of the vulnerable could not have been achieved at a fraction of the cost, while letting the more than 99% get on with their lives: and keep their jobs and businesses. Also, while this was going on we would have probably got that very desirable herd immunity. Compounding this is that when we look at countries such as Brazil, Sweden and the USA, we see that the deaths per million are still below those in the UK, even after 4 or 5 months. This tends to support the contention that lockdowns probably buy a country very little: mainly just keeping the very sick alive for a few months more. There is also the certainty, among myself and many others, that government has grossly exaggerated the danger for the vast majority in order to insure their obedience. There are now a great many truly frightened people, who shouldn't be. They see big numbers but are too innumerate to appreciate how relatively tiny they really are. Finally, now that we know (thanks for your very informative video) that there is long term natural immunity, we should not be having these local lockdowns. We currently have plenty of capacity in hospitals, so it would make a lot of sense to risk (possibly) a few more hospitalizations now, rather than risk having them occur at the same time as seasonal flu in the winter. Sorry for the long post, but I think the UK is being run my a cabinet full of monkeys, with scientists saying what they they are told to in order to keep their jobs. Thanks again for the informative videos, especially the one explaining immunity to the layman.

  20906. This really does go to show just how dense most Brits are. Do people honestly not know that if you are under 40 then you have a far higher chance of dying of good old-fashioned flu. Most such people wouldn't dream of getting an annual flu jab. Yet here they are queuing up for vaccines that everyone knows aren't 100% safe, and no one knows what their long term effects might be. I must take my hat off to the Downing Street dictators. They have run a propaganda campaign that Josef Goebbels's would be truly envious of.

  20914. It's actually open to debate whether Omicron even PUT a single person in hospital. Despite the whining of the quivering cowards, this variant has indeed turned out, as the South African doctors told us, to be EXTREMELY MILD. The spread of this variant is the best thing that has happened in two years, because unlike these poorly tested vaccines it is giving people proper and long lasting immunity. Omicron, NOT the vaccine, may well bring this pandemic to an end.

  20927. Those who had had covid-19 would have done just as well without having any vaccine! Let's recap the findings of that really massive (2.5 million people), and very reliable, Israeli study, that Downing Street doesn't want you knowing about or believing: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times as effective as vaccine generated immunity. 2. Natural immunity is long lasting: possibly a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those who have natural immunity. People don't have to believe me. They can check all this out for themselves. However for some perverse reason many don't want to accept these facts. I'm guessing it's because they don't want the embarrassment of acknowledging the government has suckered them, and other people getting vaccinated helps them feel validated in their choice. To quote Mark Twain: "It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled".

It therefore seems much more likely that this ship got smoked by the Ukrainians. Putin is already the object of a lot of ridicule, and having ones flagship taken out won't help his image, so he certainly won't admit it. In fact I wonder how many rescued sailors will be left alive to say what really happened.

In a very similar vain, if you want to be outraged/amused then take a look at the profiles of many tutors on tutoring websites. Claiming top notch qualifications from the best universities is rife. Among my favourites are the guy claiming a Ph.D. in Quantum Computing, and another claiming to have worked at CERN. There's even one who claims to have been an international professional tennis player while doing his A-levels and degree.

The Indian variant is nothing more than a scapegoat to get them off the hook. The TRUTH is that there is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to indicate that this variant is any more infectious, deadly, or will circumvent immunity. If the Indian variant wasn't there we can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that another one would be taking it's place. Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat, and he must not be allowed to use this variant (or any other) as an excuse to yet again renege on his promises.

  20993. Even the Chinese "would like this war to be ended" as it's very bad for their business. However, conquering Ukraine is now existential for Putin. So it's only likely to end when he and his cronies are "removed" from power.

  20994. The best estimates are around 100,000 Ukrainian casualties versus 200,000 Russian casualties. Hopefully with modern Western weapons we can shift this ration from 1:2 to 1:4 or better. Of course, one has to remember that Putin really doesn't care how many Russians die.

  21003. It we didn't have complete retards and cowards running this country then it wouldn't have gone down like this. Very early in this pandemic some of the most eminent scientists in the world got together and drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. This basically advised focusing sharply on isolating the most vulnerable, while letting everyone else get on with their lives. But the imbeciles in Downing Street ignored this excellent advice. If they hadn't been so stupid our economy would be in good shape. We would, be laughing our socks off at the rest of the world. Our young people wouldn't have had their education and mental health destroyed. Also, there would have been far fewer deaths, and we would now be enjoying herd immunity. What Downing Street has done is to perpetrate a truly massive crime against this country: and it continues to do so. The PM and most of the cabinet should be put up against the wall and shot!

His lies, and those of his stooges, about natural immunity, are going to be laid bare for everybody to see. People may also loose their fear of covid-19. Because of its extreme mildness it is an absolute certainty that this variant is far more prevalent than reported. For the 500 reported cases there are more likely to be between 5,000 and 50,000 cases. Plan B is shutting the door on an empty stable. All it will do is destroy more businesses and jobs.

  21013. Putin isn't too bright. In the KGB he was just a third rate desk jockey. So keep up the pressure on him and there is a reasonable chance that he will do enough more stupid things to alienate his support.

It's a very grave error to think that they work like normal decent people. Appeasing a psychopath is the most dangerous thing you can do!

  21019. Maybe it's because, contrary to government lies, NATURAL IMMUNITY is incredibly effective. More than half the UK population has now had covid-19, which means that more than half now have PROPER IMMUNITY, and we are seeing the benefit of this. And the more people who catch and recover from covid-19 the more we will see this benefit.

  21020. When you have the most tectonically stable continent in the world, and your own massive supply of uranium, not using nuclear power is an act of mind boggling stupidity.

  21021. Yeah, like Hitler was going to continue Germany's defence from his Berlin bunker.
    1
  21022. Ah yes. That would be the same BBC that covered up the massive anti-lockdown demonstrations. These were some of the biggest demonstrations Britain has ever seen, but instead the BBC decided that half a dozen people protesting outside a cricket ground was more newsworthy. It was left to foreign sources like Russia Today to report on them. Then we have the BBC, without any scientific evidence, contradicting highly reputable and reliable research showing that natural immunity after covid-19 infection was extremely robust: so that people would take rushed through vaccines. Yes, we can trust the BBC to be champions of the truth.
    1
  21023. Sometimes it's best to do nothing, when you aren't sure what you are dealing with, but politicians are terrified of not doing anything. Lockdowns were the wrong thing to do! Vaccinating most people was the wrong thing to do! Encouraging the wearing of useless masks was the wrong thing to do!

  21024. Let me see. If you are good and experienced at your job you need very little time for lesson planning. That's certainly the case in my subjects: maths, chemistry and physics. As for marking, when I taught in New Zealand marking students' maths homework was regarded as an English eccentricity, as the answers were in the back of the book for them to do it themselves. Actually there are a fair number of older very good teachers out there that most schools steadfastly refuse to employ, because they are more expensive and much harder to bully.

  21027. Russia's generals have family and loved ones that they are not prepared to see wiped out in response to Russia launching a nuclear attack. Putin's speech is aimed at reducing the likelyhood that they decide that "removing" him would be in their best interests.

  21033. This moronic president is clearly suffering from dementia, which seems to be progressing rapidly. The vaccine mandate ignores two well established scientific facts that apply to many millions of Americans. 1. For younger people (probably considerably older, but under 30 would be very safe) covid-19 poses a negligible risk. 2. Those who have had covid-19 now have excellent natural immunity. Apart from the government's favoured bogus studies, the highly reliable ones have found the following. Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccine generated immunity. It also lasts much longer, and may even last a lifetime. Finally, the massive Israeli study found "no statistically significant benefit" in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Even ignoring the fact that these vaccines are very poorly tested, both of the above groups absolutely should not be vaccinated. It flies in the face of well established medical ethics.

  21034. Let's have some accurate reporting please. I watched this on the BBC news which showed a word blanked out, because it was family viewing time. Boris actually said that Hancock was "f**king hopeless".

  21035. Come on folks this is another of Putin's pathetic attempts to frighten more Russians into supporting him: no doubt the work of his FSB goons. These drones certainly didn't fly all the way from Ukraine, and if there were Ukrainian operatives in Moscow they would definitely choose a much better target, like some major infrastructure.
    1
  21036. Fickle Western governments not staying the distance is exactly what Putin is relying on. But we need to remember that helping Ukraine now is by far the cheaper option. If Putin wins in Ukraine he will definitely be emboldened to attack the Baltic states, and Emperor Xi will have been given the green light to invade Taiwan.
    1
  21037. What a pathetic joker, still repeating the same threats in a desperate attempt to frighten the free world. More likely Putin and his psycho supporters are on the verge of being swept from power. Russians too can imagine themselves and their cities being annihilated: and for what.

  21044. Trump definitely won't win the Noble Peace prize that he so desperately craves. However I can see Putin pinning a Hero of the Russian federation medal on him.

  21045. What an evil selfish woman Amanda is. Her arguments are completely disingenuous. There are so many things we don't let children do without parental consent. She wouldn't argue to sweep most of them away, but selfish cowards like her are desperate to inject our children with a vaccine that even the JCVI says they don't need. And be under no illusion. When people like her have finished with those 12 and over they WILL go after younger kids! Let's be very clear on a few facts: 1. Covid-19 poses a negligible risk to our children. 2. Once a kid has had covid-19 they will have excellent natural immunity. Research now indicates that this immunity is 13 time better than vaccine induced immunity, and probably lasts a lifetime. The government and people like Amanda need to leave our kids alone! No vaccine, no face masks, no bubbles and no isolation.

  21051. Steve Rosenberg's reading of today's Russian papers reports them saying exactly what we all knew would happen. Yet again, even after three months of it, Trump got well played by Putin. For his two hours on the phone he got absolutely nothing. Putin on the other hand has bought Russia more time to avoid further sanctions or the US supplying Ukraine with further help.

  21053. Trouble is that, like Stalin, Putin sees being captured, instead of fighting to the death, as a dereliction of duty, so he would probably execute returned POWs anyway.

  21054. Isn't it strange how the rest of the world only seemed to be in conflict with Russia after Russia launched an unprovoked attack on another peaceful sovereign nation? No doubt, when Emperor Xi invades Taiwan he will say that Taiwan started it and that the rest of the world is picking on innocent China.

  21055. All over Europe people are waking up to the utter necessity of fighting to take back their freedoms from the power crazed dictators that are meant to be serving them. Many of those in most EU governments merit a Nuremberg style trial. The only difficulty, as demonstrated by the silence of EU and UK supreme courts, is that we now only have corrupt judges.

  21063. Dan, pointless doesn't begin to go there. Boris has had covid-19 and both jabs. He could dance naked up and down a packed covid-19 ward with a negligible chance of catching covid-19 again. Like the bloody lockdowns, isolation does vastly more harm than good: assuming it does any good at all.

  21067. A lot more of this is coming and worse: think poll tax riots. People in the UK have finally realised that the ONLY way they are going to get their freedom and liberty back is to fight back against the Nazi dictators in Downing Street. If we aren't to see more of this then ALL the restrictions on peoples freedom and liberty had better be lifted: and pretty damn quickly.

As if we needed more proof, this just goes to show what an illusion democracy is in this country.

  21073. Though we keep getting told "it's too early", all the too early data is indicating what South African doctors have already said. This variant is EXTREMELY MILD. If, as has been suggested it's displacing more dangerous variants then this could be incredibly good news. Because, as long as panicking dumb-ass governments don't screw this opportunity up, this variant might be able to quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. The God fearing might even see it as his Christmas present to the world!
    1
  21074. There's one reason to strongly doubt this. Despite all the pathetic headless chicken panicking by politicians, the truth of the matter is that this virus really isn't that bad. It only kills about 1 in 1000, and most of those are very old and/or very sick. So, if so many governments hadn't gone all Chicken Little, instead of wrecking their countries' economies they would have ended up with a much more resilient population and health service, once the virus had done its job. Far from weakening other countries, China would have strengthened them, unless it knew how irrationally our snowflake "leaders" would behave.

    1
  21079. Biden, quite correctly, is perceived very much as a dove, rather than a hawk. It's questionable whether Putin would have invaded Ukraine if he had thought the US had a strong president. Another example is how long it took him to deal with the Houthis, and how relatively weak his "proportionate" response was. It's the weak dude that gets sand kicked in his face, not the guy you know will kick your butt if you mess with him!
    1
  21080. One wonders how much damage has really been done. As the Russians lie almost all the time, I very much doubt that it was just minor damage to one mine sweeper, otherwise they wouldn't be making such an incredible fuss. I suspect they got a damn good arse kicking, yet again, but are desperate to hide the truth because of the embarrassment it will cause Putin.
    1
  21081. I suspect that almost all Russian commanders lost confidence in Putin quite some time back, but none of them wants to stick his head above the parapet. For a brave and ambitious commander this is the perfect time for a coup that could advance his career immeasurably, as he would probably find massive support after the fact. If I was a commander with the weapons access I would launch a massive missile strike on the Kremlin when the Duma was in session with Putin, aiming for no survivors.
    1
  21082. The quivering snowflakes need to note that our NHS is already chronically understaffed. If 10% of our doctors and nurses are sacked then be under no illusion, LOTS of people will DIE. It's bad enough that perfectly healthy doctors and nurses are being made to isolate.
    1
  21083. Most Russian oligarchs are gangsters, and Putin is very bad for their bottom line. So, what I can't understand is why they haven't wasted him, as gangsters never let anything or anyone stand in the way of profit.
    1
  21084. The rather trite answer might be that Russian intelligence personnel aren't, on the whole, that intelligent.
    1
  21085. So not only has Sturgeon wrecked Scotland, she now wants to do the same to the whole world by starting WW III. No amount of propaganda and censorship can prevent Russians noticing the severe economic consequences that the ordinary man in the street is experiencing. This isn't going to bolster Putin's popularity. So any excuse to expand his attack to other countries and distract the Russian population and his generals would be a godsend to him. The amount of trade that China does with the West is absolutely staggering so, when push comes to shove, I suspect that their own self interest will mean that they won't give Russia much support.
    1
  21086. Yep first it was holidays. Then it was nightclubs. Then football matches. It's like what happened after the Nazis came to power in Germany, and look where that ended. So people are going to be prevented from earning their living if they don't get jabbed. And I've just seen an article on TES that suggests students will be barred from FE colleges and universities if they don't take the needle. Why is it that people like me have to sound the alarm bells? At 63, most of this won't touch me, but it will really hurt the majority. But then the majority of people in this country are of very limited intelligence.

  21093. Tim, have you become a government stooge? Nothing that you said is incorrect, BUT it is highly misleading in one respect: AGE. As a statistician you should be well aware that a totally different picture emerges when age is taken into account. Somewhere between 60 and 70 the relative risks posed by flu and covid-19 change. For those below this age range flu is more deadly. And the younger one is the greater the risk from flu, compared to covid-19, becomes. The incontrovertible fact is that for most people, if they are not worried by flu then they should be even less worried by covid-19!

But then, as his KGB record very clearly shows, he isn't the sharpest pencil in the box.

  21108. Sadly, there's one big reason not too be cheerful. No matter what the science or the data says Downing Street is absolutely determined to keep lockdown, and its dictatorial powers, going for as long as it possibly can. And they will use the flimsiest of excuses to extend the roadmap. I would bet good money that they will use the pretext of a "dangerous new variant", without any strong scientific evidence to support it, to push the goalposts well back.

  21109. I'm having difficulty deciding who is more vicious and nasty. Is it Herr Macron, wanting to "piss off" those who have the good sense not to take a vaccine they don't need, or the Australian government. No doubt their spiteful actions are designed to make it difficult for Novak to concentrate on his game, and I wouldn't be surprised if they let him get to the final, or semi finals, and then deported him. Why do people elect such pigs into government?

  21110. I have fond memories of long haul flights on 747s that weren't too full. Sometimes I could get a whole centre row of vacant seats, pull up the arm rests, lie down, and enjoy a good sleep. I also have good memories of how well Pan Am treated me.
    1
  21111. John, the vast majority of people are scientifically illiterate, never mind being illiterate on immunology. So when it comes to vaccines they need to feel that they can trust what they are being told. This is a big problem, because only the most intellectually challenged individuals would trust the Trump or Johnson governments. These, and other governments, have lied throughout this pandemic. They still haven't come clean about natural immunity and a death rate that is now on a par with a bad flu season. These are important things that people have a right to know, but they are still being lied to. It's all very well to say trust the scientists, but unfortunately both these governments (and probably others too) have well established reputations for sacking scientists that don't say what their government wants them to. Sorry, but as things stand most people think of used car salesmen when their governments try to sell them on vaccines. In fact, most would probably trust a used car salesman more. That's the simple truth of the politics behind vaccination programs.

  21112. If Trump were well educated he would be aware of just how well Chamberlain making concessions to Hitler worked out.

  21113. Well, Biden is certainly a lot less partisan than the DUP are bigoted. The people of Northern Ireland gave Sinn Fein the majority of seats at Stormont. The truth is that the DUP are unwilling to accept this democratic choice and are using Brexit merely as an excuse to sabotage the people's choice. While some businesses might have lost out over the Brexit agreement about as many benefitted. Once again, the majority of people in Northern Ireland are happy with it.

  21117. This is not "listening to the science", it's listening to the craven snowflakes. The majority of people have either had covid-19 or two jabs. These people are extremely unlikely to catch and spread covid-19. Most of the rest are at very low risk, and will shrug off covid-19, if they catch it, more easily than a bad cold. It's time to start fighting to take back our freedom. Delete the NHS app, and ignore any quarantine instruction. It's the right thing to do!

  21119. Escalation would be Ukraine invading Russia (not attacking bases there used to attack it, by the way), so absolutely anything that helps Ukraine defend and win back its own territory, including Crimea, is not escalation. Nobody should be caring about what insane Putin considers escalation to be, as lunatics have concepts that are very detached from reality.
    1
  21120. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  21129. Here's something you won't see any of the government lapdog "scientists" modelling anytime soon: We have a virus that kills well under 1%, and on the whole we can predict those most at risk. It is also quite infectious. However the over 99% who recover then possess excellent natural immunity, which may well last a lifetime. Taking this into account I'd like to see the outcome of modelling the result of following the advice given in the Great Barrington Declaration. I've a feeling that the model would show that following this advice would have been spectacularly successful! I suspect this is the reason why governments are pretending that excellent, long term, natural immunity doesn't exist. They desperately don't want people to realise that following the recommendations in the GBD (given to them well before it was published) would have saved wrecking their countries, and relegated covid-19 to a small footnote in history.

  21130. When are the sheep and idiots going to wise up? Have they ever wondered why PCR tests are not carried out on people for 90 days after they have had covid-19. It's because even though they definitely DON'T have covid-19 for 90 days the tests come up positive. This should tell anyone who isn't brain dead something very basic. Most of those who test positive DO NOT HAVE covid-19!

HOWEVER, contrast this with two large and reputable studies from Israel and Cleveland. These suggest that natural immunity is better, and may last a lifetime. When you consider what a small risk covid-19 poses to over 99% of the population it's a bit of a no-brainer isn't it.

As the freedom of information request to the ONS revealed, just 17,500 otherwise healthy people have died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65: a very far cry from the scaremongers 150,000. Other than isolating the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity developed, no restrictions should ever have been introduced. Right from the start this was the advice of the REAL experts, who subsequently drafted the Great Barrington Declaration. As countries like Sweden clearly demonstrate this advice was spot on!

Also, I was told that some kids with South Pacific islander parents were far more worried about their parents finding out about any punishment they received, than the punishment itself. Going back a lot further, I don't know if it was true, but it was said that in the Soviet Union a teacher could phone a misbehaving kid's parent's workplace and have their wages docked.

  21201. Has this wretched woman got shares in the vaccine she helped create? So many are sick of hearing people like her scaremonger. Let's take a close look at the Omicron variant. If it weren't for a moronic and despotic government this variant would be excellent news. It's more infectious, but EXTREMELY MILD. So, if the classics and PPE brigade don't screw it up, this variant could rapidly supplant more dangerous variants. It could also quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on millions. Thus generating the holy grail of herd immunity, that vaccines have spectacularly failed to do.

Rather than being a "cause for concern" this EXTREMELY MILD variant may well be cause for celebration. It may displace more dangerous variants (not that any are that dangerous) and quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions. The only people with cause to fear this variant are big pharma, and power crazed governments.

    1
  21242. ​ @mik3pif782  While scientists have indeed been working on mRNA vaccines for years those for sars-cov-2 are definitely the first to be used: at least outside trials. It's very hard to discover side effects that might be very rare, or take years to show. It would be very unfortunate if something came to light in several years time, after many millions of people, at extremely low risk from covid-19, had been vaccinated. People like me, with integrity, worry about such things, but the government doesn't give a damn!
    1
  21243. ​ @mik3pif782  I said "if". That's not certainty. The mRNA is incorporated into cells. This may indeed be the explanation of heart inflammation: some of it being transported to and incorporated into heart muscle. Now, what happens if some of it gets incorporated into brain tissue? This is what people like me worry about. Can you, or anyone else, guarantee 100% that this isn't happening?

  21244. One would have thought that by now Russians would have realised that a deranged psychopath like Putin values their lives no more highly than those of the Ukrainian women and children that he delights in murdering.

  21245. Of course, CORRECT and ETHICAL medical practice is to establish a vaccine's safety BEFORE you roll it out, let alone rolling it out to about 80% of your population, with the other 20% intended, if they had been stupid enough to take it. Also, for a virus that only posed a serious threat to less than 1% of the population, and gives excellent natural immunity to those who have had it, the necessity of extremely damaging lockdowns and restrictions need to be investigated: and maybe treated as a crime.

You may not even notice you have covid-19, and even those who do will shrug it off more easily than a bad cold. In fact, season flu poses a bigger risk to young people! 2. The overwhelming majority of those who have had covid-19 now have excellent natural immunity that may well last a lifetime. Young people, and those who have had covid-19 do NOT need vaccination!

  21256. ​ @boota1979  People like you would have let Nazi Germany have its way in mainland Europe, so that Churchill could put Britain first. The only problem is that eventually Britain would have been in the firing line of an enemy that was then much more powerful.

  21260. Other questions you might ask are: 1. Why no mention of how Sweden is getting on just fine? 2. Why no mention of long term immunity now being extremely likely? 3. Why no mention of the fact that, due to point 2, everyone who has recovered from covid-19 can neither get it, nor spread it? So they don't need masks or social distancing. 4. Why virtually no coverage of the Great Barrington Declaration? The bottom line is that our so-called independent media are well and truly in bed with the government, and backing them to the hilt.

  21262. This is a virus that has only ever posed a threat to under 1% of the population, and which bequeaths excellent natural immunity in those who recover from it: including those who are asymptomatic. As such, MOST people should never have been vaccinated. This is especially true as using mRNA as a vaccine is spanking new, so there is no way we can be certain that there won't be any long term adverse effects.

  21266. National governments are now heavily censoring news in regard to covid-19 if it does not support their policies. This is totally without regard to it's accuracy or veracity. To give an example, last night the BBC did a story on a really small demonstration in Lebanon, yet it has suppressed all news on anti lockdown and anti vaccine passport demonstrations in the UK and in Europe, even though they were 100 times larger. Many people now rely on YouTube to find out the truth, so it's very worrying when they cozy up to tyrants to help hide it.

  21271. This is a virus that overwhelmingly kills those who are over 80 and/or seriously ill. So most people should take it about as seriously as they take a cold or seasonal flu. In fact, for most people contracting covid-19 is a lot less bother than a cold or flu. Even at 63 I've not lost a second's sleep over it, or altered my behaviour in the least. Too many quivering snowflakes are making a mountain out of a molehill.

  21291. Tim, as you should know, if lockdown is effective, and that's still an open question, then we would model its effect as an exponential decay. This being the case, a slowdown in the drop in infections is exactly what one would expect. Of course, now that most of our most vulnerable over 80s have been vaccinated the ONLY important statistic is the number of hospitalisations. If this is dropping then it really doesn't matter how many infections there are. Equally, in this scenario, deaths don't matter either. In fact a callous attitude might be that the more we have, the more beds become available, and the less strain put on NHS staff.

Emperor Xi spouting nonsense about "One China" is as absurd as Modi saying that there should be one India that includes Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is on a par with Putin's deranged ranting about "historic Russia". Taiwan has never been under the rule of communist China. It is separated by 100 miles of ocean and has a population of 23 million that is a lot larger than that of many other countries. Taiwan has been an INDEPENDENT country for over 70 years, and only a fool or madman would say otherwise.

  21300. Let's be honest The term National Insurance is a complete lie. When it really served this purpose it was a tiny tax that none of us minded paying. Now this is a tax that is just used to confuse things so that governments can much more easily cheat the electorate. Over the years it has grown like a malignant cancer. If the government had a shred of honesty then N.I. would be amalgamated into income tax and corporation tax. But the very last thing this government wants is honesty and transparency.

  21310. I do wonder just how stupid people are when they suggest that shutting things down a few weeks earlier would have kept the virus out of the UK. We have a mainly asymptomatic virus which means we need a decent number of infections before hospitals notice anything. So let's say that we probably needed at least a few thousand infections before enough people showed up in hospital and the connection to a novel virus was made. Now let's add a generous R number of 4 and a somewhat short incubation period of 5 days. Here's how the infections grow: 1 + 4 + 16 + 64 + 256 + 1024 + 4096 = 5205 At 5 days between each of these numbers patient zero was in the UK at least 30 days before the hospitals noticed anything. In fact it was probably even longer than this.

If one multiplies the government's figure for the number of infections from the start by the IFR of about 0.3% then the number of expected deaths from covid-19 is about an order of magnitude smaller than 100,000. But one must remember that if I test positive for the virus and get run over by a bus 3 weeks later then I'm another covid-19 victim. But hey, there are plenty of cowardly, selfish old snowflakes, with paid up mortgages, and cushy pensions, who fully support Blow Job and HandOnCock's lockdowns.

All other things being equal it will infect 3 people instead of 2. Is that really so bad? Remember this virus only kills about 1 in 1000. And to stand a half decent chance of dying you need to be over 80 and/or very sick. Also, the IFR for covid-19 is about 0.3%, making it about three times as deadly as flu, and when was the last time you lost any sleep about dying of flu? What people do need to worry about is all the jobs, and young people's education that is being destroyed by the measures implemented by pathetic frightened "leaders".

Maybe that's why so many kids thought I was their best teacher, and a fair proportion of the management really hated me.

  21340. So let's tell this as it is. According to the best and most reputable research, anyone who has had covid-19 now has natural immunity that is at least as good, and maybe far better, than that conferred by vaccination. In fact, some researchers now think that natural immunity may last a lifetime! These people gain absolutely nothing by being vaccinated. It's like going out and watering your garden after there has been a 24 hour torrential downpour. But it's worse than this as none of these vaccines are 100% safe, so a totally unnecessary risk is being taken. Immunity can be tested for and certified. For those who have had covid-19 recently antibodies can be tested for. For those who had it some time ago there are now tests to detect memory B and T cells, and the like. Such people should also be allowed to travel. It is totally unacceptable to coerce people who have immunity, into getting a vaccine that carries some risk, no matter how small. Especially when their immunity can be confirmed. There is no scientific justification for this. It is nothing more than the exercise of tyrannical power for its own sake.

  21341. John, as you know, even with a now well established IFR of about 0.3%, comments that suggest Sars-cov-2 was never a serious threat are still vigorously censored. Even more so are those suggesting that giving a rushed through vaccine to most people at incredibly low risk flew totally in the face of medical ethics. YouTube and Facebook are still both very active in stifling anything that goes against the government narrative.

Like Russia, we now have a court system that delivers the will of the government rather than justice.

  21356. Mainstream media should stop lying! Most of these people are not anti vaccine in general. They will almost certainly get vaccines like typhoid or cholera, if they need them. The truth that media won't tell people is that the majority do not need these poorly tested vaccines. Over 25%, maybe over 50%, have had covid-19 and now have natural immunity that is vastly better and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. And for anyone under 60 the risk posed by covid-19 is small: less than that posed by season flu. People have a very basic human right to not be injected with something that they don't need!

  21360. For over a year, and possibly a lot longer, many people including myself have been warning that something like this was going to happen. But both Sunak and Starmer ignored these warnings. For quite some time now MOST people in the UK have been very concerned at the government doing absolutely nothing to protect our borders. They have watched with great concern as "pro-Palestinian" marches were given carte blanche. Very recently a policewoman had her nose broken and the perpetrator wasn't even charged. These events are in large measure due to people KNOWING that the government is UNWILLING to protect our borders or way of life! And Starmer STILL won't look at the root cause.

As well as the air pollution and congestion a lot of parked cars make it really difficult for necessary traffic to navigate many streets, as any bus driver, or ambulance driver, will tell you, and as most bus passengers can see for themselves. And how often are many of these parked cars even used? Just making cars ravages so many of our planet's resources. Most people should not have them. and would actually save a lot of money by using alternative means to get around. Sometimes, for the greater good, we have to curb our selfish desires!

  21381. The VAST MAJORITY of us are truly sick of the do-gooders and wokes complaining about ILLEGAL aliens be treated illegally! Actually I don't agree with the Rwanda policy because I think it would be much cheaper to detain these illegals in nissen huts on a very remote, cold, and wet Scottish island. Now that would be a deterrent!

  21387. Imagine what would have happened if Farage had done something like this. We have a good decent copper facing a criminal investigation after he was attacked and his female colleague had her nose broken. Yet this pathetic excuse for a police chief is going to face no sanction for what is clearly very unprofessional behaviour, and possibly even illegal.

  21388. Putin and his Orcs have been seriously weakened over the last year. It would be a tragedy, for the whole world, if they were given the opportunity to catch their breath and regroup. We need to make sure Ukraine very quickly gets the weapons it needs to end these animals.
    1
  21389. Well the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta said this right from the start. But the government stood Witless Whitty on a podium, and most people were stupid enough to believe him. Lockdowns and restrictions are the main reason that we now have between 500 and 1000 people unnecessarily dying every week, and an economy that's gone down the toilet. AND 90% to 95% of the population should never have been vaccinated!
    1
  21390. Australians should be deeply ashamed that they allowed their freedom and liberty to be stolen, and Australia to become one of the most repressive countries in the world. And for what? A virus that poses NEGLIGIBLE RISK to people who are healthy and under about 70. In the UK the number in this category that have died over the last 2 years is only 17,500. A far cry from the 150,00 the UK government likes to scare people with. Is it really right to screw up people's lives for the sake of less than 1% of the population? I don't think so.

  21394. I'm not claiming to know Roman Abramovich's position, but did it ever occur to Scumbag Starmer that maybe some of the Russian oligarchs might be over here because they want to keep a safe distance from Putin (excepting accidents with Polonium or Ricin). And, just maybe, some of their vast wealth could be used to reward someone physically close to Putin to do the "right thing".
    1
  21395. Mass graves will remind people of how in WW II the Russians murdered 22,000 Polish officers. It seems that over 70 years hasn't quelled Russia's appetite for committing atrocities that sicken civilized people.

  21396.  chico  Because of what happened last year, it's very clear that the ONLY fair and safe thing to do is to reinstate independent external exams. Because they are "marked to a curve" they automatically allow for students having less teaching. There plenty of time to reinstate them, it there's the will to do so. As a very experienced teacher, I know that all good hardworking students want to take their exams. Only the bad lazy ones, who one doesn't want in ones class, welcome anything else.

  21401. For well over a year now the BBC has shown it's true colours, behaving like a state run channel in a former iron curtain country. It has vigorously suppressed and censored any covid-19 related news that its paymasters in Downing Street didn't want the public to hear about, in case it gave them "undesirable ideas". If the BBC is so damn good then sponsors and advertisers will flock to support it. If this is not the case then why should we all be forced to support a lying, cheating lame duck?

  21403. The logic of those who say it's OK to shoot enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but not assassinate those who are sending them there is incredibly flawed. Those who send them there deserve to die far more! In fact their assassination could ultimately say a truly vast number of lives. Just think how many millions of lives might have been saved if Hitler had been assassinated in 1938!

  21410. I'm not downplaying terrorism, but frankly Downing Street, with its lockdowns and vaccine mandates, poses a far bigger threat to most people.
    1
  21411. So we have one bunch of complete retards in Downing Street, and another waiting in the wings for when they don't get re-elected: if we ever have free elections again. The risk to most teachers is very, very small, therefore it is both more ethical and far more sensible to offer the vaccine to those who need it more. It really is that simple!
    1
  21412. Can we please stop talking about negotiating with Putin. This would be as futile as Chamberlain's "peace in our time" with Hitler. Any "peace" with Putin will simply give him time to regroup. For any hope of a real and lasting peace Putin must be "removed" from power. Unfortunately the truth isn't always convenient or comfortable, but denying it doesn't change it.

  21413. The mention of generals made me wonder whether, with 4 being killed, Putin is deliberately sending those who might oppose him to the front line.

  21416. A very important part of democracy is that you have to put up with people saying things that you really hate and don't want to hear. As NATO's latest member Finland needs to remember this, because the alternative leads us down the road to Putin's Russia and Emperor Xi's China.

  21417. A very strong indication that most of Europe isn't pulling its weight is that all the Russian threats and vitriol are directed against the UK and USA. One has to ask why Russia isn't too upset at other countries.

  21432. What a joke! A Patriarch who worked for the KGB, and makes a fortune selling tobacco, that kills millions. It would be like making Hitler a chief rabbi.

  21447. So true. What happen in Iran proves this.
    1
  21448. The real and HONEST experts will tell you that the precipitous drop in hospitalisations and deaths are overwhelmingly due to vaccinations, NOT restrictions and lockdowns. It is a near certainty that we will NOT see any further surge in hospitalisations or deaths. We might see a SMALL rise in infections among those for whom covid-19 poses a really tiny risk, but this is not worth losing any sleep over. People who say otherwise are pathological liars or cowards or probably both.

  21449. These Arab leaders really aren't too bright when you consider that there's a high probability that it was Hamas that carried out the hospital attack: and that this is exactly what Hamas wanted to happen.

    1
  21454. Well there's a very simple answer. If most people don't agree with lockdowns then they shouldn't follow them. The government only has the power that people allow them to take. What's happening now is a direct result of behaving like frightened bleating sheep. If most people ignore lockdowns and other restrictions then there's bugger all the government and police can do about it!

  21458. Xi, Putin and Trump are all alike in a disturbing way. They have vast wealth that would allow them to live in the utmost luxury, without ever wanting for anything. And if they got bored they could engage in supporting philanthropic activities, cutting edge research or artistic endeavors. But, more than anything else in the world they want power over hundreds of millions of other people.
    1
  21459. What NATO, and everyone with a modicum of intelligence, is terrified of is the prospect of an all out nuclear war. I don't think most people have the slightest idea of what this would mean. It's often said that any survivors would envy those at ground zero! Putin badly miscalculated on Ukraine and many suspect that having an excuse to widen this conflict, that he can sell to those holding his leash, is EXACTLY what he would like.

    1
  21466. ​ @jamesgreen1116  That was my immediate thought, but preferably without the civilian deaths. I suppose that's why all these attacks are all at night, because unlike the Russians the Ukrainians aren't cold-blooded murderers.
    1
  21467. Surely most Russians understand that if Putin nuked London, Paris and Berlin then Moscow, and many other major Russian cities, would be obliterated minutes later. I'm in no doubt that this insane psychopath would resort to nuclear weapons. However, I'm willing to bet that a few who can get close enough to put a bullet through his head have children whom they love and would like to see have a future.

  21468. This is what you get when you build your army with the dregs of your society, who would probably otherwise be in prison, or awaiting execution. Being a rapist or murderer is probably an enlistment requirement for the Russian army.
    1
  21469. It would be wonderful if this were true. Unfortunately almost every word that comes out of Putin's mouth is a lie, and the probability of such a sudden break through, without anything being published earlier in scientific journals, is exceedingly unlikely.

  21472. Because the UK and other governments rushed through the administration of countless millions of doses of mRNA Covid vaccines, they are now doubling down in order to make people believe that they acted correctly and ETHICALLY in this. Imagine the questions that would be asked if there was now an insistence on large scale phase 3 trials lasting several years. You know, the way things were almost always done prior to the Covid panic.

  21476. Some of these FSB goons must be known. So why aren't they being knifed, or doused with petrol, in dark allies? Crossbows are also easily available, and there are some easily accessible toxins to dip the bolts in: monkshood and death cap mushrooms, to name but two. Putin's goons should be made to live in constant fear!

    1
  21479. MOST of the ills we are now experiencing are caused by one thing only: LOCKDOWNS. Several recent and reputable studies have concluded that they were completely ineffective. And don't allow the government to say this is only with hindsight. Right at the start the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, warned about all this, and repeated those warnings in the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by thousands of scientists. But, like a petulant child, the government very deliberately ignored the advice of the genuine experts. By the way, several large and reputable studies, including a recent one, have also shown the the vast majority of masks were totally useless.
    1
  21480. Well, you have to be severely mentally debilitated if you trust Downing Street or its advisors. They have consistently lied about how excellent natural immunity is. They have gone out of their way to frighten people about a virus that is harmless for about 99% of the population. And, feeding off the last two lies they are hell bent on vaccinating people who don't need vaccination, with poorly tested vaccines. But, to quote Mark Twain: "It is much easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled"
    1
  21481. If Putin is allowed keep any (including Crimea) Ukrainian territory, he will use a ceasefire to rebuild his army, rearm, and then attack again, and much more viciously than before. If Trump is allowed to throw Putin a lifeline then Europe will soon pay a very high price!

    1
  21490. Just how thick is Boris? Quarantine is totally unnecessary. The majority people have either had covid-19 or both jabs. For these the chances of them getting covid-19 is truly miniscule. Most of the rest are at negligible risk from covid-19. It's way past time to delete the NHS app and ignore all quarantine instructions. We need to fight this government and take back our freedom!
    1
  21491. People are ending up in hospital WITH Omicron, not because of it. At this time of year hospitalisations always sky rocket. Blaming this on Omicron is incredibly unprofessional and dishonest. The last month has completely supported South African doctors' assessment that Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD. There was absolutely no need for Plan A and Plan B, which should be immediately ended, and even less need for masks in schools. The ONLY danger Omicron poses is to the inflated value of big pharma shares, which will plummet when it quickly and SAFELY delivers the herd immunity that they couldn't.

  21497. Nigel, though not to the same degree, freedom of choice has been grievously interfered with in the UK, with the connivance of most mainstream media. The choices most people make are heavily influenced by what the see others doing, and by the information they receive. So, almost all the news about the countless anti-lockdown and anti-(forced)vaccination demonstrations, both here and abroad have been vigorously censored. Likewise, the true facts about natural immunity have been both suppressed and lied about.
    1
  21498. The US has promised to get directly involved, and wipe out every Orc in Ukraine, if Putin uses nukes!
    1
  21499. There's a lot of truth in this. Putin is on record as stating his goal to restore "historic" Russia. That's a lot of other countries as well as Ukraine. It also can't be over emphasized that if the West lets Ukraine fall then Emperor Xi will definitely invade Taiwan, and this will just be the start in that part of the world as well. In the end supporting Ukraine is the cheapest option both financially and in terms of lives!

  21504. You got that right about lockdowns. I've ordered a Swedish flag from Amazon, which I will be flying outside my house to acknowledge that Sweden is one of the very few countries that has handled covid-19 correctly, and rationally. I strongly encourage others to do the same. As for vaccinations, the focus needs to be exclusively on the vulnerable. For most people getting covid-19 is less inconvenience than getting a cold. They will then recover and have rock solid natural immunity, which is vastly better, and longer lasting, than what these rushed through vaccines provide.
    1
  21505. I can imagine lots of EU countries, who don't share Herr Macron's vision of a United States of Europe, with him in charge, leaving the EU. They could then form a trade alliance, which provides what most countries want, without the parasites in Brussels telling them how to run their countries.

  21518. What the Republicans are asking for is funds to help protect the US against a tidal wave of illegal migration. No ifs, no buts, no maybes, Biden should have shown that he cares about America and given the Republicans those funds. Then Ukraine would have got the aid it so badly needs. What Biden has done hurts America, Ukraine, and indeed the whole free world!

  21519. The very least that should be done NOW is to repeal Rich Boy Sunak's CHEATING of OAPs out of their "triple lock", which has left them with pension rises way below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING their rightful rise from them, many OAPs would have really struggled!

  21523. We can see the total number in hospitals falling fast. What we are not shown is the RATE of hospitalisations, which must be falling much faster. And in this context it's important to note that it's exceedingly unlikely that we will see the rate rise again: which is the ONLY figure that really matters now. This is because over 14 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. It no longer matters in the least what the R number is, or how many new infections there are. Almost all of them will be shrugged off more easily than cold, with hardly any resulting in hospital admissions. With this in mind all schools and universities need to go back to the pre-pandemic normal now. The damage done, and still being done, to young people's education and mental health is truly enormous. Any decent person will be extremely anxious to see a cessation in this incredibly cruel treatment of those who represent our future.

  21528. "UNBELIEVABLY mild" perfectly corroborates what South African doctors said weeks ago: "EXTREMELY MILD".

People are losing their jobs and businesses solely to pander to the fears of selfish cowardly snowflakes!

  21529. Since areas outside of the ones disputed by Russian separatists have been attacked, whatever credibility or justification Putin might have claimed has evaporated. The simplest and fastest solution would be for some Russian general with a conscience to put a bullet through his head. Failing that maybe some special opps foreign agent could get the job done. This war is being driven by one man's ego, so removing that man is the logical solution.

If he had had half the intelligence and courage of Margaret Thatcher he would never have caved into his wets. The country would now be riding high economically, and he would be starting another term as PM, and as a hero.

  21551. The West has seriously squandered the opportunity afforded by the last few weeks of protests in Iran.

That would have stopped both the drone supply and nuclear weapon development.

  21562. Covid has never had an IFR greater than 0.3%, and maybe even less than this. Almost from the start it was well known that most people were at very low risk, and we knew which groups were at high risk. EVEN for a vaccine that had undergone years of phase III safety trials, and also been in use for many years, medical ethics is very clear. At least 95% of people should never have been vaccinated!

  21563. Nurses do deserve far better treatment, but the truth is that until most people actually need them themselves, or for a loved one, they really don't care in the least how unfairly nurses are treated. Government certainly doesn't care because MPs and their families can afford private health care.

And why should it be a "misfiring" Hamas rocket? Putin is well known for attacking, and murdering, his own people and blaming it on the other side. Does anyone really believe Hamas wouldn't do exactly the same, when they have amply demonstrated their total disregard for innocent civilian lives?

  21577. Putin, for whatever reason is getting desperate. When it comes to proper legal targets one can be damn sure that his Orcs haven't been sitting back enjoying the Ukraine summer, because this would simply be giving Ukrainian forces a better opportunity to cull them. So the only possible "stepping up" is the murder of more innocent and defenseless civilians. This won't improve the military side of things, and far from discouraging Ukraine and NATO will make them all the more determined not to let a deranged psychopath win.
    1
  21578. Alternatively, we should admit that sars-cov-2 poses a risk to well under 1% of the population, and that natural immunity is VASTLY BETTER than vaccination, for this virus. There are far better uses for this NHS money!

I've had Covid-19 as have plenty of other people I know. It wasn't a big deal for me or ANY of them. The infection fatality rate, even before any vaccination, was no more than 0.3%. For innumerate people like you that's just 3 in 1000.

  21583. Do we really need to listen to Wallace, because he really isn't too bright? While Putin probably expected to be welcomed by Russia speakers, I very much doubt he expected this from the rest of the population. What he certainly didn't expect was the resistance he is encountering.

  21598. I already know who we are as a country. A bunch of frightened, selfish cowards, who are only too happy to sacrifice the education and mental health of our young people, if we think it can even minutely reduce the risk to our own pathetic lives. Oh, I should add young people's physical health to that, because there's no shortage of people who are very keen to inject them with a vaccine that they don't need.
    1
  21599. What's almost funny is a lot of those who don't want to take these poorly tested vaccines have natural immunity. Only the most mentally challenged or most pathological of liars now refuse to accept that natural immunity is much better and longer lasting (possibly a lifetime) than vaccine induce immunity.
    1
  21600. It's way past time that tyrannical authorities recognised that a large percentage of the population should not be getting vaccinated. To begin with, younger people are at such low risk from this virus that experimenting on them with a poorly tested vaccine is completely unethical. Then we have many millions who have recovered from covid-19. They now have natural immunity which is vastly better than vaccine induced immunity, they most certainly shouldn't be vaccinated. Despite overwhelming evidence, many governments are behaving like the renaissance church which refused to accept that the earth orbited the sun. Denying the truth doesn't change it!

  21604. The current state of the NHS is due to one thing, and one thing only: totally unnecessary Covid lockdowns and restrictions. The Sars-cov-2 virus has only ever posed a threat to less than 1%, and those who have had it end up with natural immunity that is vastly better than anything they get from these rushed through vaccines. Yet millions of stupid and cowardly people swallowed Downing Street's scaremongering and accepted the gross violation of their liberty. Well now they are paying the price.

  21606. We no longer let kids near benzene in the chemistry lab. We go into full panic mode when asbestos is discovered. These substances take years or even decades to show their dark side. This is many people's concern about these rushed through vaccines. It is absolutely impossible to guarantee that there won't be any very nasty UNFORESEEN side effects in years to come. This is especially true for children, and due to the novelty of mRNA vaccines. With covid-19 posing a negligible risk to kids, no decent person would want to see them vaccinated. The same is also true for those who have natural immunity, which a massive, and highly regarded, Israeli study indicates is 13 times more effective than vaccination.
    1
  21607. Given the very small size of the drones, and their minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched within Moscow itself, or very close to the city. So it's reasonably likely that might even have been launched by Putin's own FSB goons, in order to frighten Russians into supporting him more.

    1
  21645. What I want to see politicians held to account for are the unnecessary, and insanely damaging lockdowns, and the coerced vaccinations. These represent among the worst cock-ups, and affronts to freedom, in human history. Right at the start of this pathetic panicking governments were advised that lockdowns would not work, and just be extremely damaging. They were advised to just isolate the most vulnerable, until NATURAL herd immunity developed. This advice was subsequently published, for all to see, in the Great Barrington Declaration. But, no. Governments knew better than the REAL experts. They knew that a few weeks lockdown would end the pandemic. When this didn't work they knew that the answer was to keep repeating the same failed strategy. We now have overwhelming evidence that NATURAL immunity is absolutely brilliant. But like demented flat-earthers governments are trying to cover this up because they won't admit that the GBD is spot on. We need a Nuremberg style trial for these politicians, even if we can no longer then hang them.

We might already have had it, AND kept all those jobs, if there weren't any lockdowns or quarantines. Sweden got it right!

  21654. Why is it OK for the French, who are part of the ECHR, to keep these migrants in tents, while Labour spends billions OF OUR MONEY keeping them in plush hotels? Is it any wonder they keep coming in ever increasing numbers?
    1
  21655. One of the biggest drains on money is welfare. So it's time to admit that there is absolutely no way that anywhere near the almost 3 million claiming that they can't work are genuinely sick. Not paying the work-shy parasites would save a fortune. Also instead of spending a king's ransom putting up illegals in plush hotels they could be housed much more cheaply in Nissen huts on some uninhabited island off our coast.

  21657. Psycho Putin promised a spectacular celebration of his success in Ukraine for the 9th May. So his generals are now under immense pressure to deliver some significant victories within the next 3 days. If they don't then Putin will suffer severe and very public humiliation. This will greatly increase the possibility of him being "removed" from power.

  21658. Like the good old Stalinist purges.

  21659. The rich and the powerful know that for the time being they are in a position to escape the consequences that most might have to bear, and that by the time they can't they are likely to be dead. Hence, they will continue to deny global warming. Of course, whenever someone like me suggests that most people shouldn't have private cars the majority heap excuses and abuse upon us.
    1
  21660. We will always wonder now how many would have sided with Wagner if Prigozhin hadn't chickened out. I wonder if he is really stupid enough to believe that Putin will honour anything he agrees to? It's like expecting Hitler to agree to a circumcision and bahmitza, and then go through with it. Putin murdered people in London with polonium and nerve gas, and they had caused him vastly less grief. I expect Putin's FSB goons to go after every single member of Wagner, including anyone even suspected of belonging to it. Russia is infamous for its totally ruthless and brutal purges!

  21666. Yes, it's an appalling indictment of the British electoral system when a party getting about 1/3rd of the vote is given about 2/3rd of the seats. Anybody who can't see how incredibly wrong this is is either very evil or very stupid.

  21676. The first thing that some of these missiles should be used, ASAP, for is finishing off the Kerch bridge once and for all. This is a major supply route to Crimea. However its destruction will also have a devastating effect on the morale of Russians in Crimea, and seriously humiliate Putin.

  21687. Those keeping Putin in power are still hoping that a spring offensive will change the tide for Russia. We need to make it absolutely clear to them that this isn't going to happen, so that their only way out of this debacle is to "remove" Putin. Incidentally, now is a really good time for a group of young Russia officers to rapidly advance their careers by removing the old guard.
    1
  21688. Time to put Putin on an alpha particle diet. Surround small particles of an alpha emitter with something like a lipid shell that will block the radiation from detectors, but will dissolve in the stomach, and won't make his food tasters sick for a few days. Gives the perpetrator plenty of time to escape and claim a massive reward for removing Putin.

  21696. As someone who lives in nice green North Enfield, on the edge of the Green Belt I can tell you that we have very good public transport. So most people here absolutely do not need to drive, and every car that ULEZ forces off our roads is a big win for its residents.

  21718. Ukraine basing its strategy on convincing Putin to negotiate is a massive mistake, and has been costing them dearly. Putin must win in order to survive!

These are facts that anyone can google, as I have just done. Are 25% of working age people that you know too sick to work? This means that benefit fraud is being perpetrated on an almost unimaginable scale. If Reeves targeted these fraudsters then she would recover far more money than all of her other cuts put together!

Flu actually poses a much bigger threat to to teens than covid-19. This is something the cowardly, selfish snowflakes don't want people to know. So, for something that poses a much smaller risk, we are prepared to inject our young people with a vaccine that does not have years of safe usage behind it. This isn't just ignoring medical ethics, it's burning the book and pissing on the smoldering ashes.

There's absolutely no reason why these bloody NGO ships can't take these people back to where they set sail from. If this was done every time then there soon wouldn't be a problem. Or maybe these NGO ships should be confiscated and turned into artificial reefs.

  21731. As a condition for giving aid to Ukraine the Republicans wanted money to be spent defending their own country against this tidal wave of illegal immigration. To any president who was in charge of his mental faculties giving the Republicans what they asked for was a no-brainer. But Biden chose to screw his own country, Ukraine, and the free world.

  21740. Starmer IS a traitor, whose unstinting support of covid-19 policies, in the face of strong Tory backbench opposition, enabled government to enact legislation that crucified the very people he was meant to protect. As for Saville, Starmer WAS in charge, so the buck stops with him.

  21741. The biggest problem appears to be very heavy suppression of information that might put a dent in Covid "vaccine" sales. They don't sing from the rooftops about the massive problems encountered with mRNA technologies not that long before they were unleashed on the public: with no indication that anyone had a clue how to prevent the "nasty side effects". And the removal of yesterday's video about that 14 year old Japanese girl is really appalling and outrageous.

This country needs Starmer and Labour about as much as someone suffering from anorexia needs an enema!

  21753. Not supporting the Republican bill to help defend the US against ILLEGAL immigration, which cost Ukraine it's aid package, left only one winner: Putin. It also made the election of Trump (Putin's choice) much more likely. It's sad to have to admit it, but Biden is becoming a massive liability for the US and the free world.

If he had listened to people like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, instead of charlatans, they would have told him not to have any lockdowns. He would probably still be PM, and in with a good chance of winning the next election.

  21772. While I can see that Western governments putting a bounty on Putin won't happen, they should allow crowd funding of it. I would expect the bounty would become so large that somebody who can get close to Putin would find it irresistible. After all those supporting him have no morals whatsoever, so 10 or 100 million might well persuade them.

  21779. Would you shut the country down if lots of people had flu or a cold. No you wouldn't, because few of them end up dying or in hospital. Well despite the rise in infections there aren't that many dying or being hospitalised. The SAGE Dr. Deaths are predicting 40 dying a day if June 21 goes ahead: a worst case scenario, of course. But guess what? On average 69 people die, or are seriously injured, on our roads everyday. Kind of puts the insane panicking in perspective, doesn't it.
    1
  21780. As well as being woke, I wonder how many people realise just how bloody useless so many teachers are. As someone who privately tutors A-level maths, further maths, physics and chemistry, I'm regularly aghast at how truly appalling so much of the teaching in these subjects is. What's even more frightening is that most of my students come from the very few half-decent schools around the Enfield area. I'll stick to my areas of expertise, and say that STEM teaching in the UK is a sick joke. Those who are any good can get better paying and far less stressful jobs, so only the very bottom of the university barrel tends to go into teaching. But the final nail in the coffin is that corrupt heads go out of their way not to employ the older more experienced teachers. Those would be the ones that are much less likely to be woke, and really know their stuff. But they would have to be paid more, and would be much harder to bully. I'm so glad I went to school 50 years ago when there were still a lot of really talented teachers who absolutely were not woke by any stretch of the imagination.

Any remaining faith and trust disappeared when the police gave carte blanch to the so-called pro-Palestinian protests, which were anti-Semitic to their very core.

This is especially so as Russia is now in no position to cut off other trade with China. By providing military aid China gains next to nothing, while standing to lose a lot.

Pouvons-nous mettre un terme à ces absurdités concernant l'achat de couteaux, qui ne sont rien d'autre qu'une diversion délibérée par rapport à ce qui doit être fait ? Si vous êtes pris en train de porter un couteau sans raison valable, vous devriez être emprisonné : et cette peine devrait être obligatoire afin qu'un juge stupide ne pourrait pas l'annuler. CELA fonctionnera, et vite !

  21791. That is one of the reasons governments are so terrified of this Omicron variant. If they can't keep it at bay until a more dangerous variant comes along then it could derail the vaccine gravy train. With every day that goes by its looking more and more like we have an EXTREMELY MILD variant that is highly infectious, and will replace other more dangerous variants. The implications of this, for despotic governments are horrifying. There is a good chance that this variant could quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on countless millions of people. Just imagine the consequences. The lies about natural immunity will become evident to everybody, people won't need vaccination, and they will lose their fear of covid-19. For tyrants desperate to hold on to power this is their worst nightmare before Christmas.

  21792. They look a lot like the "peace talks" over Poland, in 1939, between Russia and Germany!

  21793. Putin will never abandon his aggression against Ukraine because having some victory to sell to the Russian people is now existential for him. As Ukraine and the West are determined that he must not be given anything that he can sell as a victory, so this only leaves his "removal" from power.

  21795. Well Lisa, thanks to the government's lies, scaremongering, and unnecessary restrictions over the EXTREMELY MILD Omicron variant, that hasn't killed a single person in the world, more people like your husband are going to die.

  21797. The trouble is that Boris is a liar and a cheat who breaks his promises at the drop of a hat. The most dodgy second hand car dealer is more reputable and trustworthy than Boris.
    1
  21798. The only third wave we are going to get is a third wave of spineless pseudo scientists panicking and scaremongering yet again, and equally spineless ministers who listen to their nonsense. In Europe increasing infections have been ascribed to the "British variant". Well if it's come from here, without causing us any grief then it's hardly going to come back and cause us any. I'm way past the stage where I'd like to see summary execution for those who scaremonger!

  21799. Nobody should be bowing or curtseying these days!

  21800. These so-called "scientists" are an utter disgrace to their profession, and the institutions they work at. But, for every one of these spineless snowflakes there are several real experts who will tell you they are talking complete nonsense. There is absolutely no strong statistical or scientific evidence that any variant is significantly more infectious or deadly. There is only weak conjecture, which these cowardly and dishonest people are pushing as fact. And just to underline how pathetic these "scientists" are today's covid deaths are a nice round zero.
    1
  21801. Is there such a think as a reformed Boris? This sounds about as likely as a KKK member deciding to join a gospel choir.

  21802. I do love good news.

  21805. I'd be so embarrassed to be producing videos like this. And I certainly wouldn't call myself a math king unless I had something like a Ph.D. in Abstract Algebra.

  21806. The thing is that Universities need bright hard-working students, and many Asian students fit the bill very well. This is in stark contrast to what most of our UK schools are turning out. So many kids in our schools aren't prepared to put in the hard yards, and when they crash and burn they blame their teachers, rather than accepting that it was their own laziness and sense of self entitlement that caused their downfall. I once worked in a private sixth form college in New Zealand that was almost entirely full of students from China. They were a joy to teach!

  21807. You've got to laugh, because it's like a one-sided very bad marriage. The Loyalists want to me part of the UK, but the rest of the UK wants absolutely nothing to do with them.
    1
  21808. The price of freedom is a willingness to fight for it and stand up to tyranny. If Brits allow Boris to get away with this then they deserve all the repression they get. Boris shouldn't be ridding trains and gayly breaking promises, without a care in the world. He should be cowering in fear of the retribution that the British people will visit on his perfidious and very ample arse.

  21809. ALL religion is superstitious nonsense and has no place in a modern educated society.
    1
  21810. Stupid irrational panicking. Maybe the Indian variant is edging out other variants, but if people didn't get this variant than they would almost certainly catch another one. And even the snowflakes aren't claiming that the Indian variant is any more deadly. The vast majority of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated, so extra infections really don't matter as very few will lead to people ending up in hospital or dead. Over 5 times as many people are now dying or ending up in hospital due to traffic accidents. It's way past time, in the UK, that people stopped going all Chicken Little over this virus. 37-year-olds? Do people realise just how small the risk from covid-19 is to those under 40? Healthy people younger than this who worry about covid-19 are truly pathetic. There's a Gurkha motto: "better to die than live as a coward!"
    1
  21811. So you go into a supermarket and find that the quorn, and stuff like that, costs more than meat. Why would you swap to something that doesn't taste anywhere near as good, and costs more? You would feel like a prize schmuck. People will cut down on meat when companies stop ripping them off for veggie products.
    1
  21812. Because, like the League of Nations before it, the UN is a complete and utter joke.
    1
  21813. Sadly this is all too true. So many young men gave their lives fighting the Nazis, in order that those in Britain could enjoy freedom. Yet now the Nazis have once again made it into power, and most people are willing to give up our democracy and freedom without so much as raising a dissenting voice.
    1
  21814. BB, what do you think of your fellow Barristers who do all they can to get such people off the hook? If "I was just following orders" doesn't wash then surely "I was just doing my job" has even less credibility.

  21817. I strongly suspect that Trump's long telephone call with Putin agreed the following two deals: 1. Trump gets as much of Ukraine's rare earths as he wants in exchange for Putin eventually getting the whole country. 2.Greenland gets divvied up between Trump and Putin. The second deal should remind one of that made about Poland in 1939.

  21821. Give it a few more months and all pensioners will have something extra to worry about, with the Chancellor anxious to renege on the government's "triple lock" safeguard. He's using the disingenuous argument that giving an 8% rise would be vastly more than what everyone else is getting, but of course 8% of a pittance is still a pittance. As it stands the minimum wage, which people really struggle on, is about 2.5 times that of the state pension. That 8% will still leave most people with an income that is totally inadequate. People don't seem to realise that, despite being one of the richest countries in the world, Britain is one of the meanest with it's pensions and benefits for retired people. Many much poorer countries treat there old people far more generously.
    1
  21822. If only we would fight as hard to save our own country! In Enfield our infrastructure is already creaking under the strain of far too many residents, yet we have a Labour council that is hell bent on building on our precious green belt land.

  21823. Lawyers make shed loads of money on having illegals in the UK. So of course they don't want the goose that's laying their golden eggs slaughtered. I'd like to send these lawyers to Rwanda as well.

  21824. As most of those African countries that would receive the grain either support Putin, or refuse to condemn him, do we really care if they starve? Maybe suffering as a direct result of Putin's actions will make them see sense.

  21831. How many more jabs? Think one every 2 or 3 months, unless people wise up and grow a backbone.
    1
  21832. Absolutely pointless unless these people are prepared to actually FIGHT for their freedom. Dictators do not willingly relinquish power. These people are bleating like sheep, and the security forces are slaughtering them like sheep. It really doesn't matter how many sheep bleat or for how long, because sheep NEVER win.
    1
  21833. While Putin has his hands full in Ukraine Georgians need to depose his puppet government, and take back the 20% of their country that was stolen by him. These police are no better than the Nazi collaborators in WW II!

  21843. Next door to me there is a lazy selfish woman in her 50s who, though fully capable of doing so, has never done a full days work in her entire life! Tens of thousands of people could relate similar tales about people on benefits who can work but instead CHOOSE to sponge off the rest of us. If we cut the benefit of these PARASITES and made them work then this would go some way to ending the dependency.

  21844. It should almost certainly be possible to take down a flight from Hanoi, so why (yet again) has such an opportunity been squandered?
    1
  21845. Would you believe that the UK still give many millions of pounds in foreign aid to India? This is completely insane. India can well afford to look after its own poor, but the rich there simply keep everything for themselves: it's their responsibility, not countries like the UK and the US.
    1
  21846. The Victoria Police's behaviour, in regard to covid-19 restrictions, would have made a hardened SS officer really proud. So maybe the shortage is down to the fact that there aren't enough committed Nazis willing to sign up and kiss Andrew's arse.
    1
  21847. Prigozhin seems to concur. Though, of course, he is saying it's the regular Russia military than ran off, crying like little girls. But the bottom line is that the Russians did the running.

  21850. That's because there's NEVER anything to see in Russian MoD videos.
    1
  21851. Zelensky is right. China is watching very closely. The very valiant fight that the Ukrainians are putting up, and strong NATO support will make China think twice about invading Taiwan. But if mad dog Putin is allowed to win then this part of the world will definitely become more dangerous.

  21852. In their hearts most of these marchers are anti-Semites, who are marching for Hamas and would like them to do what Hitler failed to do!

  21853. All the dead are civilians. This is the only thing Russia is good at, murdering defenceless women and children.

  21854. Let's be under no doubt. On the podium of thoroughly evil despots Stalin is right up there with Hitler and Vlad the Impaler. So it's little wonder that Putin admires him so much.
    1
  21855. Exactly! When I lived in Italy and Germany if you didn't speak the language then you bloody well paid for your own translator. Even though the judge probably spoke perfect English, when I took an old employer to court in Germany I presented my case in German. I remember saying, in German, "my German isn't very good, but my claim is simple". I won my case!

  21856. Between Trump becoming president in a few weeks, and Putin suffering massive humiliation over Syria, now is a really good time to pile the pressure on without respite.

  21857. To put these predicted, but not certain, 40 deaths a day into perspective, there are, on average 69 people killed or seriously injured on our roads everyday. We don't crucify motorists because of this, therefore it makes absolutely no sense not to go ahead with June 21. I do hope people are not going to be expected to make any sacrifices for those who were offered the vaccine but refused it: and I include myself among these. The "bad cold" analogy is one that many of us have been making for some time. Of course the government and its media lackeys aren't mentioning this, because there WILL be violent civil unrest when people realise that the government is f**king with their lives for something that's now like a cold.
    1
  21858. ​ @bradbrad3937  I'm saying that people should not be expected to sacrifice their freedom in order to reduce the risk to those who, of their own free will, refused to take the vaccine. I didn't take it because I'm fairly sure I've had covid-19 and am now immune. But if I am wrong and contract it then I do not expect any sympathy.
    1
  21859. Lavrov still travels a lot, and so he really should have been taken out a long time ago. This would have sent a strong message to the filthy vermin that support Putin.
    1
  21860. These Ukrainian forces don't have the option of surrender. It would be like surrendering to Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones. Better a quick clean death on the battlefield than giving oneself up to be tortured to death. Let us never forget how the Russians once butchered 22,000 Polish officers. Times may have changed, but Putin and this Russian army haven't!
    1
  21861. Come on China let's see you try to invade a very well defended island nation. How many million of your soldiers are you prepared to see "fight to the death"?
    1
  21862. Russia said that it was just on exercises and not planning to attack Ukraine. However, with well over half a million of its soldiers dead or seriously injured, and billions worth of military hardware destroyed, Russia isn't in a good position to take on NATO.
    1
  21863. Sounds like one of Baldrick's cunning plans. Next week Putin will be appearing on the front line with two pencils up his nose.
    1
  21864. The trouble is that Ukraine is still waiting for countries like Germany to honour pledges made right at the start.
    1
  21865. The WHO is now a completely discredited organisation, stuffed to the gills with self-serving morons. Nobody in their right mind would give them any power.

  21867. Unless you are rich don't get sick or old in Britain!

  21868. These two are scientists, they are frightened little boys, who still like to cling to their mummy's skirt. Do they have the slightest idea how much damage lockdowns and restrictions are having, in so many areas? Are they also too stupid to understand that the number of infections really doesn't matter if they don't lead to hospitalisations? And with about 14 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated most covid-19 infections will be shrugged off more easily than a cold. People like this bring science into disrepute. They are a disgrace to a noble profession, and shouldn't be employed by any reputable institution.
    1
  21869. Emperor Xi wants to use Putin to weaken the West enough so that it won't protect Taiwan when he invades. It doesn't take a genius to realise this.
    1
  21870. But, isn't it funny how when people exercise this democratic right, how the left-wing, instead of respecting the will of the majority, take to violent protesting.
    1
  21871. Like so many things, UK governments have been trying to run the NHS on the cheap for decades. Our doctors and nurses aren't particularly well looked after, which is why so many go overseas. However, one area that hasn't been stinted on is parasitic admin staff, this has grown like a virulent cancer sucking the money out of where it is needed, and putting heavy and unnecessary burdens on doctors and nurses who already have more than enough to do.
    1
  21872. Sadly that's now the attitude in the UK as well. In fact, many consider it clever if you can lie to gain an advantage.
    1
  21873. The best scope for savings by far is benefit fraud. There must be well over a million people (maybe closer to twice that) who are perfectly capable of working but would much rather just sponge off the rest of us.
    1
  21874. Don't listen to Satan's little helper. For those who believe in God, Omicron is his Christmas present to the world. It is EXTREMELY MILD and may very quickly and SAFELY spread NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bring this pandemic to an end. We should be having Omicron parties to help spread it as quickly as possible. Would Satan's little helper jump on an airplane? An awful lot of people would like to see him jump out of one!

  21875. Putin will be asking himself how many of his ambitious generals, with loyal men, have gotten ideas of grandeur after seeing the warm welcome that Wagner soldiers received from the residents of Rostov.
    1
  21876. Yes, it would be very easy to stop, but let's not forget woke MSM that pulls most comments suggesting how this could be done.
    1
  21877. Emperor Xi really wants what's going on in Ukraine to exhaust and demoralise the West. Once this happens he won't hesitate to invade Taiwan.
    1
  21878. The Wagner group now have even less capabilities, as the Ukrainians have killed off quite a few of these dyed-in-the-wool Nazis.
    1
  21879. What a waste of time and money! 20 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. The risk posed by this virus to young people is NEGLIGIBLE. The risk posed to the vast majority of their teachers is TINY. Other than stupidity and cowardice there is no reason now why all schools (and universities) shouldn't immediately return to the pre-pandemic normal. Young people have had their education and mental health damaged far more than necessary, by a bunch of Nancy Boys who are afraid of their own shadows. It's way past time to GET OFF THEIR BACKS!
    1
  21880. Or, could it be that those who are gullible fools are worried that there might be very serious UNFORESEEN effects sometime in the future, that those creating the spanking new mRNA vaccines just cannot know about? As for Gove calling others selfish. This creature would have his own mother turning tricks on the street if he saw the slightest advantage in it.
    1
  21881. I await with interest the first connection that is going to be trans instead of male or female.
    1
  21882. As the risk to them is very low, young people should definitely not be vaccinated. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES!
    1
  21883. The nuclear exercises are akin to a frightened animal making pathetic display threats as the wolves close in for lunch. Putin is a very frightened little coward who will try anything to avert his impending "removal" from power.
    1
  21884. ​ @Chicago48  The truth is that none of the vaccines are that effective. Natural immunity, after what is a very mild infection for the vast majority, is so much better. But then natural immunity doesn't swell the coffers of big pharma to bursting point.
    1
  21885. But this crowd, including Sunak ARE clowns: and bloody evil ones at that.

  21886. One thing that should have been done at the same time as blocking airspace was to deny Russian ships access to ports. We need to cut off Russia from EVERYTHING.

  21887. What's that old saying? Actions speak louder than words.
    1
  21888. "Far to early" The ramblings of a dyed-in-the-wool coward, and complete imbecile. The majority of the over 80s, who account for 9 out of 10 hospitalisations have now been vaccinated. So, in the next couple of weeks we can expect to see a dramatic fall in such cases. In fact, we might even be seeing the start of this. Does this bloody moron not understand that it doesn't really matter in the least how many other people get infected if this doesn't translate into hospitalisations? What DOES matter A LOT is businesses and jobs being destroyed, and wrecking young people's education and mental health.
    1
  21889. The fact that Owen thinks there can be peace while Putin is in power shows that he really isn't that bright. Perhaps Owen thinks that Chamberlain's "peace in our time" with Hitler was a success, because Putin is no different from Hitler: and maybe worse.
    1
  21890. These cluster bombs are by far the lesser evil. Firstly they will only be used by the Ukrainians on their own country, so they have a vested interest in clearing up the duds later. Secondly they could be extremely effective at flushing the Orcs out of their trenches and clearing the minefields they laid. The longer this war goes on the more innocent women and children Putin will murder!
    1
  21891. If instead of having flash cars, expensive holidays, and meals out, you saved a bit of money then Starmer wants to steal it from you! Many older folk keep a bit by in case they need dental treatment, or a life changing operation that they don't want to wait years for.

  21892. The trouble is that, regardless of how much spending is increased by, nobody now trusts TACO Trump to make the tough calls against Putin.
    1
  21893. Well said Camilla! Carry on like this and you will make an excellent future queen. Despite that Boris Johnson going round with a mask and doing that elbow wanker's greeting, once you have either had covid-19 or both jabs you can't catch covid-19 again or spread it. And as for those who aren't yet immune, the overwhelming majority are at very low risk, so it really doesn't matter if they catch covid-19.
    1
  21894. If the Palestinians want peace then they need to round up all the Hamas cowards that hide among the women and children and kill the lot of them. These people really do need to understand that Hamas is a cancer that needs to be cut out of the Palestinian community.

  21895. How on earth did most of us manage to take ourselves to school 50 years ago?

  21898. If you were an American and you saw Afghani soldiers and fit young men running away instead of fighting, would you want to see American men fight and die in their place? And then there are all those fleeing women covered from head to toe in burqas, with even their eyes covered by a mesh. Would you honestly want to fight for them?
    1
  21899. Yep, that's a few more trees, rabbits and pigeons that have been de-Nazified.

  21900. None of this will make an iota of difference until all these protestors stop being bleating sheep and actually start FIGHTING. Dictators don't hand over power to bleating sheep, no matter how many there are, they simply slaughter a few.
    1
  21901. The government failed, and serious damaged this country, by panicking and imposing lockdowns, in order to pander to the large number of stupid and spineless people in the UK. The ONLY correct strategy is given in the Great Barrington Declaration, which was drafted by a team of eminent international scientists. The most vulnerable should have been isolated, until herd immunity developed, with the rest being left to get on with their lives. If the government had had the intelligence and courage to do this then we would definitely have seen the following benefits: 1. Far fewer businesses and jobs would have been lost, and our economy would not now be crippled. 2. Young people would not have had their education and mental health buggered to hell. 3. Fewer people would have died, and our NHS would not have been brought to its knees. 4. We would most certainly now be enjoying herd immunity. Most people would not need vaccination, and indeed their natural immunity would probably have been better than that conferred by vaccination. Those in Downing Street deserve a Nuremberg style trial for the terrible suffering they have inflicted on the British people.

  21908. International law is crystal clear. Those seeking asylum must do so in the first safe country they enter. Therefore there is no legal precedent to grant asylum to those coming from France. Also, as evidenced by the very large number of holiday homes, and Brits who have made a permanent home there, France is an incredibly attractive country to live in. It is packed with outstanding scenery and bursting with culture. The weather is better than the UK and the food is world renowned. Also, the French health service is in a much better state than our NHS, and so is education. So Britain needs to ask itself what it is doing so badly wrong that migrants are determined to come over here.

  21913. Don't hold your breath for that deportation to be carried out. Some bent judge will rule that due to only liking British chicken nuggets deportation would violate their human rights.

  21914. The news that what Ukraine is allowed to strike is still limited is very disappointing. Anywhere from which attacks against Ukraine are launched should be an allowed target. It seems that Biden is still frightened of upsetting Putin.

  21915. People like Bercow always hate those who stand up to them.

  21916. The trouble is that Rich Boy Sunak, the PENSION THIEF, cheated millions of poor OAPs out of the pension rise they were entitled to, and very badly needed. They are now getting their already measly pension increased by just 3.1%: a rise lower than virtually everyone else in the country, who are earning much more than they get.

  21917. The real mess was made by those who implemented the totally unnecessary covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. Admittedly Sunak was in the cabinet, and therefore bears some responsibility for this. BUT, in the face of staunch Tory backbench opposition, there would never have been the numbers to do this without the unstinting support for No.10 from Starmer and Labour!

  21933. "The Tories are supposed to cut tax" Reminds be of Boris declaring that he is a "freedom loving Tory", and we all know what a joke that is. But fear not, in true Tory style, they are all set to screw the poor struggling OAPs. The "triple lock" promise is set to be reneged on. Sunak has presented the highly disingenuous argument that an 8% rise is a king's ransom more than what everybody else is getting. What he neglects to say is that 8% of a pittance is an even smaller pittance. The minimum wage, which people really struggle on, is about 2.5 times the state pension, that old people are expected to live on. Does that 8% still sound excessively generous?

  21934. This is exactly what so many real experts like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta said right from the very start, and subsequently repeated in the Great Barrington Declaration. The government, with the help of their mainstream media stooges, went all out to censor or ridicule these people, and now we are all paying a terrible price for their stupidity, cowardice and tyranny. And the censorship and cover ups continue, so that those responsible will never be held to account for the devastation they have visited on this country.

  21942. The West eventually pulled out of Afghanistan, and Putin is expecting exactly the same thing to happen with Ukraine. He can no longer retreat because he has tanked the Russian economy, killed over 200,000 Russians, and doubled Russia's border with NATO, so he has to show something for all this. Emperor Xi is also watching very carefully, because a collapse in Western resolve and support will be the green light for his invasion of Taiwan.

They are all vaccines that he willingly paid for, and spent about an hour each way, plus fares, travelling to the British Airways vaccination centre in Regent Street. And in the future he's planning to get further vaccinations, when he starts travelling again. Where does he get his information from? Well that would be things like the Cleveland study and the Israel study. It would also be doctors and other studies showing that for 99% of people covid-19 poses a very small risk, and a negligible one for about 50%. Not all of us believe every word uttered by Downing Street, or cower at every doom laden prediction by Fearful Ferguson or Witless Whitty!

  21989. Life is too short to take poorly tested vaccines that you don't need, and that we can't be certain won't cause harm in the long term, because they haven't undergone the usual minimum of 4 years safety testing. Two years ago if you had walked into any medical ethics lecture and posed the question "should we vaccinate people with excellent natural immunity or those for whom a disease poses a negligible risk?" you would have received a unanimous NO! And that's without even mentioning the rushed through and poorly tested bit. Life is too short to be a latter day Dr. Mengele!

But, more to the point, they will then develop natural immunity, which could be FAR BETTER at protecting them from future variants or similar viruses. So vaccinating them may well be doing them harm in the longer term! Vaccinating young people is for the SOLE benefit of those much older, and as such it goes COMPLETELY AGAINST MEDICAL ETHICS!

  22007. No! Those who have had covid-19, and now have natural immunity, don't need the vaccine at all! That absolutely massive Israeli study, that governments don't want people learning about, clearly demonstrated the following FACTS: 1. Natural immunity is 13 times more effective than vaccine induced immunity. 2. Natural immunity lasts as long as it has been possible to determine, and may well last a lifetime. 3. There is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. Many millions of Americans have now had covid-19. Many more millions of young Americans are at NEGLIGIBLE risk from this virus. None of them need vaccinating, let alone a booster shot.

  22016. With a scientific background (chemistry degree from Oxford, and worked as a research chemist) and not being one to pander to the "wets", there's a good chance that Margaret Thatcher would have listened to the REAL EXPERTS, and never allowed any lockdowns. The supreme irony is that Boris probably thought that pandering to the cowards was the safest way to protect his position, and this is precisely what led to his downfall.

  22032. What I'm now really LMAO about is that it's looking increasingly likely, by the day, that vaccination will not stop the spread of this virus. So Gestapo style vaccination certificates, and coercion to get vaccinated, are a complete waste of resources. Regular booster jabs might keep your antibody count up, which might work, but think about it. Despite 2 billion years of practice and refinement, this is not the way mother nature does it. Could it possibly be because there might be a serious downside to maintaining a high antibody level when it isn't needed? In natural immunity antibody levels plummet, BUT memory B and T cells remain and regenerate antibodies when they are NEEDED. So, yet again, we come back to natural immunity which the government is so keen to disparage, in the face of evidence to the contrary. Large reputable studies in Israel and Cleveland have indicated that natural immunity could be better than vaccination, and may well last a lifetime. Vaccination, and booster shots, should be reserved for the vulnerable. Everyone else should be left to enjoy their life without molestation.

However he has now managed to really upset a lot of Russians, and effectively admitted that his "special operation" was a lie. I'm wondering if William Hill will give me good odds on Putin no longer being in power by Christmas.

  22038. Worldwide, countless millions of people have now recovered from covid-19, yet there have been LITERALLY only a handful of verified cases of reinfection. In other words, the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for long term immunity in those who have recovered from this virus is COMPLETELY OVERWHELMING. This is just a further shameful example of Blow Job's scaremongering propaganda. He can no longer catch or spread this virus. The only reason he is doing this is to frighten people into following his senseless restrictions, and scare them into taking a rushed through vaccine. People must be incredibly gullible and dim-witted if they fall for this stunt. Finally, let's do some simple maths. The IFR for covid-19 is less than 0.3%. So, if over 50,000 have really died from it then we must have over 16 million people who are now immune. That's 16 million people who don't need to wear masks, don't need to social distance, and definitely don't need to be vaccinated.
    1
  22039. Dr. John's mention, once more, of long term immunity is particularly timely. Those who have seen this morning's news will see that (without any parliamentary vote) the Downing Street retards have just brought in a law to fine people who don't self isolate up to £10,000. Now, if it were just those who actually had the virus that would be absolutely fine. However this rule will overwhelmingly expect those who don't have the virus to isolate. Among those will be a substantial number who are now immune and can't possibly even get the virus. Such heavy handed infringements on people's liberty MUST be accompanied by very fast testing. We must now have antibody and T cell testing, accompanied by immunity certificates. For those who are not immune testing for covid-19 needs to be within 24 hours, and turned around in another 24. For just a handful of deaths this government is behaving as if it had a full blown Ebola epidemic on its hands. This is incredibly cowardly and stupid. I think when Boris was in hospital he had a spinectomy. Here's one final thought. Boris and his scum-bag ministers are as slippery as Teflon coated eels. They know there will be an outcry if they shut down the entire hospitality industry, so this new law could be a stealthy way to achieve the same end. If people who need to work, or go to university, are frightened enough of being traced, and then put under house arrest, then a high percentage of them will stop using the hospitality industry. By the way, as an old fart of 62, I make virtually no use of it, so I'm not arguing out of self interest. I'm like a good German in the 1930's pointing out that what's being done to the Jews is wrong, but most just said "but it's the law" and as a result the "laws" got more and more severe, and we all know where that ended.

  22040. ​ Emma Thompson  I hope you are right, but I won't be in the least surprised if Hancock's Gestapo end up persecuting far more who haven't got, or can't even get, covid-19. A further worry is that even before all this our police force was badly overstretched. They should be dealing with REAL crimes. Also, at a time when they are trying to improve community relations, acting as Hancock's boot boys isn't going to help in this.

After that a good look at the rest of the management in the NHS would show that it was still grossly bloated, and that a lot of the admin that makes doctors' and nurses' lives hell is there simply to justify the existence of this cancerous management, that never stops growing.

  22050. I really do wish Putin had lost, but Ukraine refuses to fight back properly. Russian drones are still raining down on Kyiv, but Ukraine only launches one or two against Moscow about once a month: hardly intimidating, or effective. And Putin's pride and joy, the Kerch bridge, which is important for Russia's hold on Crimea, remains operational. Yes, Russia's generals might be very backward, but Ukraine's generals don't show any sign of being brilliant strategists.

  22055. So Nazi rule has finally come to the UK. Young people, for whom covid-19 poses negligible risk, are going to be forced into vaccination if they want to live the normal life of people their age. If the government is allowed to get away with this we will see it expanded more and more. It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES! It should also be said that an awful lot of young people have already had covid-19, and this number will be far higher by September. As lot's of highly reputable research shows, these people now have excellent natural long term immunity: immunity that may well last a lifetime and be much better than that conferred by vaccination. Vaccinating such people is of no benefit to anyone! It's like going out with a watering can after it's been raining solidly for a week.

  22065. Many of those anti-vaxxers are probably like me, with a book full of stamps for vaccines that we willingly spent our time and money getting. Not wanting a vaccine you absolutely do not need, and whose long term effects are unknown, doesn't make you an anti-vaxxer. It makes you someone with a bit of sense, who hasn't been suckered by grossly dishonest governments and their media sidekicks.

  22069. If the British public weren't so bloody thick they would realise that the R number doesn't matter any more. The ONLY thing that's important is how many covid-19 patients are clogging up our hospitals. In fact even the deaths in this context are a good thing as they free beds from mainly very old people who WILL die very soon anyway. With over 14 million of the most vulnerable people now vaccinated, it DOESN'T MATTER how many new infections we see, because very few of them will translate into hospital bed blockers. It's time to stop be scaredy cats and lift ALL restrictions!

  22078. The message from the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, was that lockdowns would be an unmitigated disaster. However, the government went out of its way to ignore and censor them so that the likes of Whitty and Ferguson could tell everybody what they wanted people to be told. Lockdowns did three things, extremely well for this country: 1. They destroyed our economy. 2. They massively increased NHS waiting lists. 3. The damaged the mental health of millions of young people.

Of course this will never happen, because there would be a lynch mob fighting to get into Downing Street. For f**ks sake. For a relatively innocuous virus that is less inconvenient than a bad cold for most, and kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very sick, we have pummeled the economy to the ground. And we are now holding it down and butt raping it. What Sweden is doing works. If there were lots of complaining Swedes it's a sure bet that the government's mainstream media would be all over the story. But the Swedes are very happy that they don't have a retarded government like ours.

  22137. OK, now for the TRUTH! These deaths are on the government's heads. In contrast to the SAGE scaremongers, very bright scientists told them what to do, but they refused to listen. They should have concentrated on isolating the relatively few highly vulnerable and let everyone else get on with their lives. If they had done this we would have herd immunity by now and those most at risk would have very little chance of catching this virus and dying. Downing Street adopted a very common management strategy, as did "leaders" in other countries. Do what everyone else is doing, because then if things go pear shaped you can whinge that "everyone else thought it was a good idea". It takes intelligence, integrity, and courage not to go with the crowd: and these qualities are totally absent in Boris Johnson's cabinet. This government, and parliament's hands are steeped in blood for not following the advice of the Great Barrington Declaration!
    1
  22138. Putin is absolutely desperate to present a victory to the Russian people. He expected to have a puppet government installed in Kyiv within days. Instead he's spent the last 10 months getting over 100,000 Russian soldiers killed or maimed. That's 7 times what the Soviet Union lost over many years in Afghanistan, and the number is still rising! Putin knows that without a convincing victory he will lose power, and probably his life too. We are seeing the behaviour of a rabid cornered animal.

  22146. HOWEVER, the majority of people should not be having these rushed and poorly tested vaccines, so less is more. Young people are at NEGLIGIBLE risk from covid-19, so they should NOT be vaccinated. Those who have had covid-19 now have NATURAL IMMUNITY that is vastly better and longer lasting than vaccination. They too should NOT be vaccinated. So, if anything, 65% is already way too high. As regards Omicron, it does appear to be a lot more infectious, BUT what people need to take on board is that it is EXTREMELY MILD. In fact, there is a good possibility that this variant could quickly and SAFELY generate herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  22165. Unlike scheming Modi, Raju is right. One evaluates how good or useful something is. This is the sole basis on which you retain or discard it. An excellent example, for India, is the English language. All well-off and educated Indians are fluent in it. It gives them massive opportunities that they would otherwise not have. Not making it the lingua franca of the entire country has absolutely nothing to do with shedding colonialism, and everything to do with keeping India's countless millions of poor people "in their place": in some respects the caste system is very much still thriving.

  22166. So the bottom line, which has been evident for a long time, is firstly that the IFS isn't really that much higher than a bad flu. And secondly, that all these restrictions have almost exclusively been for the benefit of those over 70. In other words, apart from the sensible Swedes, retarded governments the world over have been sacrificing the livelihoods, education, and physical and mental health of younger people for those over 70, who have already lived a long life. Surely I'm not the only one to see how insane and immoral this is, and how much sense the "Great Barrington Declaration" makes.

Does anyone believe he will lose a moment's sleep if he does this to most of the American people? He will more likely see it as an opportunity to cheaply acquire more corporations.

It couldn't be clearer that this sad excuse for a man is a megalomaniac who gets his hard on by exercising power, and feels extremely threaten when people don't comply with his wishes. He really is up there with Hitler and Stalin, and will act as badly, or worse, if he is given the opportunity to do so.

  22179. If Parliament and the Law Lords allow this then democracy and freedom in this country are truly dead. This is pure dictatorship, with no accountability.

  22183. As the adenovirus is well understood it will probably be safe. However this still begs the question of why most people in good health under say 50 will bother to take it. After all, for almost all of these people covid-19 is probably less bother than the yearly flu viruses they don't get immunized against. Also there is an awful lot of intense anger and distrust towards the monkeys in Downing Street. This will be responsible for a lot refusing the vaccine. Now as for the RNA vaccines, here is just one possible scenario I can think of that is very, very frightening. Let's say that in some individuals this RNA makes it through the blood brain barrier so that cells in the brain start producing the antigens. Do we then end up with an inflammatory response in the brain, because that would be seriously bad. This is just one possibility that I've thought of. I'm sure there are many other nightmare scenarios.

  22184. Oh what a deterrent that will be. A lovely tropical island, that most of us would pay good money for a holiday on. Sending the ILLEGALS there will also be incredibly expensive. Just how thick is Sunak? It just goes to show that little intelligence is required to get a PPE degree from Oxbridge. We have uninhabited, or very sparsely inhabited, remote and bleak Scottish islands that would be very secure and present a real deterrent. It would be much cheaper to set up tents or nissen huts on them, and transport the ILLEGALS there. So why is Sunak squandering our taxes by sending them on luxury holiday?

All we have is the weak conjecture of a few quivering snowflakes.

  22211. Actually, what has been catastrophic for the Tories is lockdowns that did an insane amount of damage to this country and its people. Though you won't hear the BBC screaming it from the rooftops, there have been several very reputable studies that show lockdowns were completely ineffective. If Boris hadn't given into the "wets", which Maggie would never have done, he would still be the PM, of a much more popular party. He also had the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, which would have backed a no lockdown policy. But instead he choose to listen to Frightened Ferguson and Witless Whitty.

  22214. The South African doctors have characterised this variant as EXTREMELY MILD. If this is indeed the case then a new Messiah has arrived for Christmas, because it will then quickly and SAFELY bestow PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY on many millions of people. THIS is what has got so many governments and their lapdog media so frightened. People could find out that they have been lied to about natural immunity and, even worse, they could lose their fear of this virus.

I sleep very happy in the knowledge that if there is a core breach then prevailing Westerlies will blow the lion's share of radioactivity into Russia, and contaminate thousands of square miles of Russia for generations to come.

  22257. Israel made the only sane choice: to have an all-out war with Iran BEFORE it obtained nuclear weapons.
    1
  22258. If Putin wasn't so deranged, and mad with fear, he would have realised by now that his nuclear sabre rattling isn't working, and never will. If he has any sense he will pay either Emperor Xi or Modi a massive bribe and flee to China or India, while he still can.

Notice how long even domestic holidays have been held back for, and there's no mention of foreign holidays. This isn't listening to the data or the science. These are the weasel words of a cowardly dictator trying to hold on to as much power for as long as possible. We've had plenty of peaceful protests that have been violently dealt with by the police. I'm now fully expecting poll tax style riots, with petrol bombs, because, as proven by the repeal of poll tax, it seems that very violent protest is the only thing Conservative governments understand!

  22281. Let's look at the irrefutable facts: 1. Sars-cov-2 is a virus that has an IFR of just 0.3%: maybe considerably smaller. 2. Those it poses a danger to are overwhelmingly very old or very sick, and usually both. 3. For the vast majority that recover from it natural immunity is extremely good and long lasting. On this basis the WHO encouraging lockdowns and mass vaccination (especially for a not properly safety tested vaccine) was a mistake of epic proportions. And our government is now considering abdicating some of this nation's self determination to the WHO. This is like giving a toddler an open can of petrol and a box of strike anywhere matches. And, wasn't the main reason most voted for Brexit to protect our sovereignty?

  22285. If the government was really ready to help then they would reverse Rich Boy Sunak's CHEATING of OAPs out of their "triple lock". They are now getting a pension rise well below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to many OAPs would have struggled desperately. I don't think people realise that Britain, despite being one of the world's richest countries, has one of the meanest state pensions in the world.

  22292. The ONLY evidence that countries should accept is proof of immunity. After all this is the name of the game. This could be either a positive antibody test or a positive test for the likes of memory B and T cells. This is what "listening to the science" is really all about. Not only is it the safest option, but it will also put paid to Boris' attempt to blackmail people who don't need vaccination into getting jabbed.

  22294. Thankfully, for the taxpayer, the British foreign office is actually incredibly mean. When I taught at an international school in Berlin there were a couple of UAE kids attending it. This meant that every single teacher at the school, and any partner they wanted to bring along, got an invite to the really sumptuous UAE embassy Christmas do. In stark contrast the schools where the British embassy's ambassador's wife was the chair of governors and deputy head got bugger all from that much closer connection.

  22298. I'm one of those happy bunnies who had covid-19 very early on and wasn't stupid enough to believe the government's lies about natural immunity. So I haven't had the vaccine. I will be watching over the next few years to see if we get a rise in various autoimmune diseases. Of course, this may be hard to watch as, like the truth about natural immunity, the government will do everything in its power to cover up any such occurrences.

  22300. If a prospective illegal migrant can find the gangs from a social media promotion then our security services should most certainly be able to do so. That they don't do so, and then deal with them, shows a deliberate reluctance to do so, either on their part or by our government.

  22304. Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Many, many more such targets should already have been hit, as they are relatively soft. Also, there are thousands of miles of undefended gas and oil pipelines that have been just begging to get blown up and haven't been touched!
    1
  22305. Good! These cowards wouldn't need to flee if they had had the same kind as courage as Ukrainians, and fought against the Taliban. The US and other Western countries spent a fortune subjugating these rabid animals, and many of our brave soldiers died defending the freedom of the Afghan people, but they just pissed it all up against the wall.

  22309. Unfortunately, unless the Kremlin has been successful in covering up these attacks, there really don't seem to be that many. Why for instance, with many thousands of unprotected miles, haven't lots Russian oil and gas pipelines been blown up? What about a few dams, power stations, substations, and power lines, and what about railways lines? I'd expect vastly more of this if much was going on in Russia.

  22311. This is absolutely true, and Reform UK would then have a landslide victory. Unfortunately most Tories don't give a damn about this country. They are so totally self-serving and self-obsessed that they don't understand that they have no chance of winning the next election, and are handing it to Labour by not standing aside.

  22314. You know, I sometimes wonder if both this and the previous government deliberately turn a blind eye to the staggering amount of benefit fraud. There is absolutely no way that 25% of the working age population can be too sick to work even taking just a quarter of this at just over 6% would start to push the bounds of credulity. But if attention were focused on this people would start to understand just how few jobs there are for people. Then they might start to realise just how badly our economy is screwed.

  22317. Australia richly deserves all the droughts, fires and floods it has been getting recently.

  22326. For a virus that kills well under 1%, why are the overwhelming majority, who are unaffected by it, being crucified? Just lockdown (and vaccinate) the vulnerable. Highly effective NATURAL herd immunity will soon kick in when dumb-ass governments get out of the faces of those to whom this virus poses virtually no threat. Downing Street need to note well that's what's happening in Rotterdam will happen over here (and worse) if they try violating people's lives again. Most have now had more than enough!

  22332. It's entirely natural that infection levels, of any disease, fluctuate. This is due to networking effects and the availability of new victims. Despite the government's claims, I doubt there is any strong evidence that downturns in infection are due to lockdowns. What we do know with CERTAINTY is that lockdowns have destroyed countless businesses and jobs. They have also wrecked the education of young people and seriously impacted the mental health of a vast number. What's particularly galling about all this is that some of the brightest and most eminent scientists in the world suggested an alternative strategy in their Great Barrington Declaration. This was ignored by the gangsters in Downing Street. If this suggestion had been followed, instead of the catastrophic lockdowns and restrictions, we would have focused sharply on just isolating the RELATIVELY FEW most vulnerable. By now we would have herd immunity and less deaths. It's also very important to keep in mind that countries like Sweden and Brazil still have lower death rates than the UK.

  22333. The benefits spongers are top of most DECENT people's hit list. Many employers are struggling to get the staff they need.

  22338. It's almost funny to watch Putin becoming more desperate by the day. I wonder if anyone has explained to the imbecile that mobilising 300,000 reservists takes time that they haven't got given the pace of the Ukrainian advance. I also wonder if Russian mums and dads are going to just sit by as their sons are sent to die simply to assuage the ego of a demented psychopath.
    1
  22339. If 5 people have been reported as dying in Manchester alone, then throughout the country there will have been hundreds of deaths: maybe a lot more. If I need to see a GP then it is totally unacceptable for him/her to use some poorly educated receptionist as a gatekeeper, who knows vastly less about medicine than me, to try and fob me off with a remote appointment. GPs are paid a good salary. It's time they worked properly for it.

  22342. If you want to see the results of going soft on crime just look at the UK. Shoplifters now perpetrate their crimes with total impunity. You will see lots of media clips of them brazenly stealing, and for some strange reason the media obscures their faces so that other shopkeepers can't get a heads up. Needless to say, our police and courts don't care in the least. Our local Marks & Spencer have permanently closed a really convenient entrance because it was favoured by shoplifters, and most large supermarkets now have electronic barriers to stop you leaving the same way that you came in.

  22354. When N.I. was introduced it was a very small tax whose purpose was to provide people with a state pension, and nobody really minded paying it. But under successive corrupt governments it has been mutated like a malignant cancer. This tax should now be abolished and amalgamated with income tax and corporation tax. Simpler tax systems are better tax systems. It's easier for people to understand them, and cheaper to administrate them. Only corrupt governments prefer complex tax systems, because it makes it much easier for them to cheat people.

  22381. Trouble with that light is that the tunnel is being constantly extended, by corrupt politicians. Also, while NATURAL immunity would probably work, recent research is suggesting that while vaccination might reduce ones chance of dying it's not much good at preventing the spread of this virus. So, as suggested right at the start of this pandemic, the correct strategy is to get rid of all the bloody lockdowns. Just isolate the most vulnerable until natural herd immunity develops or until they alone have been vaccinated. Mother nature has been playing the immunity game for a couple of billion years, and is usually better at it than dumb-ass politicians.

Would someone please explain to us all why this government is hell bent on spending a bloody fortune sending illegals to somewhere with a balmy tropical climate, and having an almighty battle with our courts to do so? We have no shortage of sparsely inhabited and uninhabited islands in the north Atlantic where we could house these illegals at a fraction of the cost, and where the courts couldn't whine about them being entrusted to an unsafe regime.

They were ignored, and recent reputable studies have shown they were spot on. Several massive and very reputable studies showed that natural immunity after Covid was extremely good. This FACT was censored and contradicted with lies, so that most people, who should never have been vaccinated, were willing to take very poorly tested vaccines. The Covid inquiry is a complete whitewash. It's very focus is designed to divert away from the questions which people should be asking.

  22426. Let's get some perspective. Currently 5 to 6 times as many people die daily in traffic accidents. The number in hospital due to traffic accidents, versus covid-19, is probably a considerably higher multiple. Logically, as these numbers are now much higher, we should stop everybody driving, as it will save far more lives and hospital beds. If this sounds an incredibly stupid suggestion then it just shows how much more stupid continuing lockdown measures are. It's way past time to end all the Chicken Little panicking.

  22428. Burns is correct. Putin promised, at the start, that it would all be over in under a week, with minimal losses to Russia. Well over two months later he has killed many more Russians than died in the entire Soviet Afghanistan campaign. He has also failed to present the victory he promised for 9th May. By far the easiest, and most face saving, way out of this debacle for Russia is for a few sane generals to "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men", blame them for everything, and withdraw from Ukraine. Even a mad maniac like Putin knows this!

There are lots of very remote Scottish islands that are barely inhabited or not inhabited at all, and that it would be almost impossible to escape from them in a small boat. Surely it would be much cheaper to detain illegals on some of these. It would definitely be a very strong deterrent to know that the instant you illegally set foot on British soil you would be transported to such a place.

  22442. Putin is thinking of the eventual withdrawal from both Vietnam and Afghanistan, and also hoping that Trump will get elected. But unlike the former two countries the Ukrainian people have a burning passion to defend their freedom. Also, in the unlikely event that Trump wins another term, the US isn't a dictatorship so Trump can't simply withdraw support for Ukraine.
    1
  22443. The real scientists, who didn't sell out to bent politicians, are good. They very strongly advised against lockdowns. They championed the truly excellent natural immunity to Covid, and NOT jabbing most people with very poorly tested vaccines. But their voices were stifled by politicians, those who had sold out, and the government's mainstream media cronies: especially the BBC.
    1
  22444. How many decent people would want to be part of a system that mainly rewards toadying sycophants and wide boys. Would you really want to belong to the same club as people like Blair and Whitty? I certainly would never accept an honour from such a totally corrupt system that stinks to its very core.
    1
  22445. Dr. Mengele would have done exactly the same. These kids are at negligible risk from covid-19! It took 4 YEARS until people began to get an inkling of the horror that was being visited by thalidomide. This was a drug that was regarded as very safe, but it had UNFORESEEN, and devastating, consequences. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (the ones given to younger people) are mRNA vaccines. This is new technology so there is no way we can be sure that there will not be UNFORESEEN adverse effects in the future. In such a situation MEDICAL ETHICS demands that such a vaccine should only be administered to those who will reap a significant benefit TO THEMSELVES!
    1
  22446. Reminds me of the videos of someone killing off rats on a farm at night with an air rifle. Though I probably feel a lot more sorry for the rats.

  22447. If I still drank much, between this rabid animal buying the farm, and Finland joining NATO tomorrow, I'd go down the pub and get rat-arsed to celebrate.

  22448. Those of us who have enjoyed the excellent "The Princess Bride" will be reminded of Miracle Max who shoves his fingers in his ears and makes silly noises when he doesn't want to hear something. Unfortunately, most people don't want to hear that they were suckered into having a vaccine that they didn't need. And they want even less to hear that they gave their children a vaccine that they needed even less. Of course, this suits governments just fine.
    1
  22449. Many of these people now have natural immunity, which is both much better and longer lasting (maybe for life) than anything they might get from taking a poorly tested vaccine. Why try to force something on people that they clearly don't need? This seems like the exercise of power and control purely for its own sake.

  22451. "Kyiv terrorists". Patriots fighting to free their country is what all decent people call them. Of course, if Lavrov, like Putin, wasn't so thick he would realise that only a fool would believe that such a small drone would have made it all the way from Ukraine, let alone avoided all the Russian air defences along the way.
    1
  22452. The real reason countries like Jordan and Egypt object to Trump's plans has absolutely nothing to do with international law or ethnic cleansing. They very understandably don't want to end up with lots of terrorists in their country.
    1
  22453. What's so evil about this is that there are tens of billions of pounds to be saved by cutting out benefit fraud. 9.4 million people of working age aren't working. That is 25% of the working age population: even 5% would be pushing credibility. So there are almost certainly a few million perpetrating benefit fraud. This is where savings should be made!

  22454. The way the Taliban have been handled is like a timid surgeon who only cuts round the edges of a tumor, instead of excising it completely. He then sews the patient up and the cancer comes roaring back and spreads even further than before the operation.
    1
  22455. Did you hear about the previously healthy 14 year-old Japanese girl who died quickly after her 3rd injection? An autopsy revealed that the vaccine had caused an auto-immune attack that ravaged virtually every organ in her body. It was like something out of an Alien movie.

    1
  22458. Labour's support for the insanely damaging and totally unnecessary lockdowns is a major contributor to our "broken public services"! Right from the very start the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned that this would be the case, and subsequent highly reputable research has confirmed that lockdowns were completely ineffectual. The dire state of many of our public services is a direct consequence of Labour's staunch and unwavering support of the government's panicdemic policies!

  22460. To be honest, I've got nothing to hide, so as long as my pension is paid in full and on time the government can peruse my bank account to their hearts content. And if looking at others' bank accounts prevents some fraud then so much the better.

  22461. We are still letting scumbags like this into the country, and turning a blind eye to their law breaking!

  22466. The panic buying only started when the government opened its big, and mendacious, mouth. As only the most feeble minded now trust this government, as soon as they said there was nothing to worry about everyone started worrying. It's the logical consequence of having a government that has been caught lying and breaking its promises many, many times.
    1
  22467. This is why people and governments need to heed the following facts: 1. If you have already contracted covid-19, even asymptomatically, then you already have good natural immunity that may even be far better than any afforded by vaccination. 2. Fairly young people are at negligible risk of becoming seriously ill if the contract covid-10. These two points make it very clear that there are many millions of people in Australia, and indeed every other country, that should not be vaccinated. They are being vaccinated purely for administrative convenience or the benefit of other very much older people, and this goes completely against medical ethics!

  22474. Democracy and free speech means that we have to be prepared to accept that what other say and write may offend us. The trouble with cases like this is who decides what is acceptable. When a more authoritarian government come to power it will use cases like this as a precedent to stop people criticising them. As Voltaire famously said: "Monsieur l’abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write"

  22476. If Andy Burnham isn't happy then all he has to do is to tell his police force to give far higher priority to REAL crimes, rather than acting as BJ's and Hancock's Gestapo. There's more than enough REAL crime to keep the police far too busy to persecute decent people who just want to keep their jobs and businesses.

  22477. Exactly!

  22478. NATO needs to go into Ukraine to give humanitarian aid in this crisis.
    1
  22479. It's just an empty threat by a pathetic man who is feeling increasingly desperate. Victory in Ukraine is now absolutely existential to Putin, so he will say absolutely anything to try and save his own hide. However, I very much doubt that most Russians are prepared to face nuclear obviation for the sake of Ukraine. And I doubt most of those listening to Putin are genuinely prepared to see their families and loved ones wiped out just to save him. Once the West lets itself be intimidated by such threats they will be used repeatedly, and not just by Russia.

  22482. Sorry to hijack your video Dr. John, but I feel I must right a terrible scam, in today's news, that's being used to cast doubt on long term immunity: and it most certainly is a scam. This so-called "research" tested 6,614 people, who had previously had positive antibody tests, for the virus. Unsurprisingly they got successful PCR results for the virus in 44 people. But as you and I know immunity doesn't mean you never get any viral particles in your body again. It means that they are recognised very quickly and eliminated: stopping you develop the disease or spread it. This is so dishonest. These results are being presented as evidence that people will catch the virus again and be able to spread it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are too scientifically illiterate to see through this lie.
    1
  22483. And yet again, those of us who aren't devoid of intelligence think NUCLEAR POWER.
    1
  22484. And you know what's plummeting even faster? The rate of hospital admissions. With over 16 million of the most vulnerable now vaccinated, we definitely won't see this rate rise significantly again. But our cowardly half-wit of a prime minister won't get off our kids' backs and let them all go back to school on Monday. And he's in no hurry to put a swift end to the destruction of businesses and jobs.

  22486. Three "far-right thugs" have been tried and jailed at breakneck speed. I'm wondering if any of them did anything as bad as breaking a policewoman's nose. Because the perpetrator of that act doesn't even appear to have been charged.

    1
  22492. What a joke Putin is. How many civilians is he responsible for DELIBERATELY murdering?
    1
  22493. This is why Putin has made his ridiculous demands for a ceasefire. He is no longer able to hide from the Russian people that half a million of their young men have either been killed or crippled: and that lots more suffer the same fate every day. In order to avert a palace coup he urgently needs two things. He needs the Russian deaths to stop, and he needs to show substantial gains in return for the casualties he is already responsible for. Ukraine and the West would be absolutely insane to allow him to achieve either of these.

    1
  22500. The Soviet Union was forced out of Afghanistan with only a fraction of the losses that Putin has sustained in Ukraine. As long as the West and NATO continues to support Ukraine Russia will be forced out of Ukraine, and Putin will be forced out of power.

  22501. Les dernières semaines ont été très mauvaises pour les chiens enragés.

  22509.  @Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968  YouTube a supprimé ma réponse en anglais, alors réessayons en français. Nous avons plus de 7 700 îles au large.

  22516. Is there any other vaccine that is administered 4 times a year? It seems to me that the game plan is to keep people's antibody count sky high. HOWEVER, despite having about a billion years of evolution behind it, our immune system chose not to go down this path. Those who aren't complete idiots should be asking themselves whether there might be a really good reason are immune system doesn't work like this. The latest reports seem to indicate that the booster is effective for about ten weeks. I wonder how long it will be before the sheep are being mustered every couple of months for another injection.
    1
  22517. Well done that judge! Time to end the "mask wanker" charter. In the UK we have even had one deranged council advising people to wear masks while lying on the beach. At 64 I've not bothered with these poorly tested vaccines or masks, and have no regrets, but then I gave up being a bed wetter over 60 years ago.

I know people are stupid and gullible, but are they really going to fall for exactly the same con again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Wake up! The Downing Street Dictators are well and truly taking the p**s, and they aren't even trying to be subtle about it.

  22530. NATO, the West, and people in general, need to understand that if Putin is allowed to win in Ukraine he will attack the Baltic States. It will also give Emperor Xi the green light to invade Taiwan. So halting Putin now is going to be very much cheaper.

  22532. There's actually a far bigger pay issue that people don't want to talk about. If you get anywhere near the top of the mainstream pay scale then most schools will not hire you. In fact a lot of schools use what's called "capability" to bully older, more expensive, teachers into resigning, or sack them if they stand their ground.

  22536. Right from the start the cowardly Germans have dragged their heels on doing anything of consequence. In fact a great many of us really do believe that they secretly have always wanted Putin to win as quickly as possible, so that they can get all that Russian gas flowing again, and get back to business as normal with Russia. Maybe if Poland sends those tanks without permission they can invade from one side, and Russia from the other. It wouldn't be the first time they got into bed with a psychopath.

The are absolutely no grounds for making a fuss over this. It just seems like the government is clutching at straws for an excuse to hang on to its current dictatorship.
    1
  22541. What's the logic of doing this and still refusing permission to use long-range missiles. Or is Biden being duplicitous, because he knows the glide bombs will take some time to reach Ukraine and be difficult to use deep inside Russia.

Sadly, I'm now fully expecting to see our poor kids screwed out of their exams for a third year. As someone tutoring A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics, I've seen several kids marked down by spiteful or incompetent teachers. If my experience is representative then imagine just how many kids are being robbed blind of the results they deserve and need.

  22553. A senior Orc, and 40 others. That's really brightened my morning. Incidentally, Putin wants to attend the G20 in Bali. I hope people have started thinking about how to take this rabid animal out when he is there, and that the host country will have the common decency not to be too diligent in regard to his security.

  22554. A deal with either Labour or Conservative with irrevocably tarnish Reform UK.

  22556. Of course Barristers want to keep juries. They would earn far less money if they didn't have a gallery to play to. If I was on trial there's a high probability that everyone on the jury would be considerably less intelligent than me, which hardly fills me with confidence!

  22560. It will be interesting to see where Putin gets another 300,000 cannon fodder, and what weapons he has left to arm them with.
    1
  22561. You mean that China ONLY wants peace if Putin gets to keep territory that he has stolen. What China, or rather Emperor Xi, is terrified of is that Putin will be forced out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea. This would strengthen Western resolve, which would be very bad for Xi's plans to invade Taiwan.
    1
  22562. They wanted to stay on the gravy train until it reached the last possible station on the line.

  22563. Putin really is a complete nut job. Why would Ukraine waste precious resources attacking civilians in a non-descript Russian village, when there are far better targets? This is why only fools even consider negotiating with him, because you can't negotiate with a lunatic.
    1
  22564. And that's the way governments like it. A numerate and scientifically literate population would never have bought into the covid-19 scaremongering, and the unnecessary lockdowns and vaccinations that went with it.
    1
  22565. People need to feel safe? That's easy. They just need to MAN UP! FFS Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD, and offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY achieving herd immunity. Rather than being scared of it we should be having "catch Omicron" parties to spread it as much and as quickly as possible. All you bloody snowflakes should be thinking about how much better it would be to catch Omicron now, and get PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that will protect you against any bad-ass variant that might come along in the future.
    1
  22566. They don't tell us anything, as all these strikes came from within Moscow, and were the work of Putin's own FSB goons. Don't forget that Putin has previously attacked his own in order to frighten people into supporting him.
    1
  22567. The police who shut the bridge should be instantly sacked. Just let these nut jobs kill themselves. Nobody forced them to climb, so why punish 1000s of motorists. When one thinks how the police dealt with the women's vigil for Sarah Everard, their softly softly approach to these REAL criminals is deeply insulting and offensive.

  22568. I've seen slime molds with more backbone than both Sunak and Starmer.

  22569. Sadly what this general is saying makes a lot of sense. It's also not just about the fuel consumption. The M1 Abrams has been described as a tank with a jet engine, so learning to maintain it would be a much greater undertaking than for the other tanks that will be sent.

  22573. If the last wave of conscripts were poorly trained and equipped then imagine how badly prepared this new wave will be. Hopefully it will be like shooting fish in a barrel, and the Orcs' mothers, wives, and daughters will feel that getting the hell out of Ukraine is the better option.

  22574. Most Arabs will be deeply offended by having Humza associated with them! A hate crime against Arabs?

  22575. I'd give Ukraine cruise missiles that can reach Moscow. Russia needs to taste plenty of its own medicine and have its capitol city attacked in the same way. Then most Russians might start to understand that leaving a rabid psychopath in power isn't very smart.

  22579. I've lost count of the number of remarks reminding us of Dr. Mengele and where Hitler was born. And it's worrying just how many closet Nazis there are out there working really hard to purge all such comments. Let's not forget how measures in 1930s Germany were also justified on health grounds, and how many "good Germans" supported what their government was doing.

  22585. A major cause of IT failures is the employment of crap software developers. What most people don't realise is that good developers really are about 10 times better than average ones, and really good ones are about 100 times better than poor ones. Sadly, most of the software houses that develop these IT systems, for companies like EasyJet, generally go for cheap and "easily managed" staff. But as the saying goes: you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Cheap software developers cost a lot more in the long run!

    1
  22597. 60,000 cases, boo hoo. With an IFR of 0.3% we can expect about 180 of them to die. However, around 1,700 people normally die everyday in the UK. Kind of puts this in perspective, doesn't it. This is especially so when one considers that many of those 180 would have been in one of those 1,700 daily totals within a relatively short time. There really is nothing to get excited about.

  22600. Unfortunately, most of the people in this country are very stupid and gullible, so they swallowed the earlier scaremongering propaganda hook, line and sinker. With over 22 million now vaccinated, a rise in infections really doesn't matter, but the great unwashed are now too frightened to appreciate this. In fact, if the UK population wasn't so incredibly thick and selfish they would have insisted that schools and universities carried on as normal throughout this pandemic.
    1
  22601. Deportation of foreign criminals is standard policy in almost every country. It's there to protect citizens, and also on our statute books, so we shouldn't have to ask for this to be carried out.

  22604. What makes me laugh is that if we are going to have a two-tier society then the basis should be NATURAL IMMUNITY, which is vastly better than the vaccines, and doesn't wane like they do. Talk about NOT "listening to the science", the government is like Miracle Max, in The Princess Bride, sticking his fingers in his ears and making silly noises. But, unlike this moronic government, he delivers the goods.

  22606. If Boris hadn't lost his mojo and acquiesced to the bed wetters then he would definitely still be in power, and hailed as a hero by many. He should have followed Sweden's excellent example and never instituted any lockdown, or most of the restrictions, no matter how many cowards were sh*tting themselves. Sars-cov-2 only ever posed a threat to well under 1% of the population, and most of those who did die were very old and/or very sick and would have died soon anyway.
    1
  22607. Well, Putin needs to find people to blame for the over half million dead or suffering life-changing injuries, and the billions of dollars worth of equipment and infrastructure destroyed. He sure as hell isn't going to blame himself.

    1
  22610. And YouTube removes most of the comments that complain about this!
    1
  22611. People still don't want to hear the truth, which is just as well for the government. Sars-cov-2 has only ever posed a serious threat to UNDER 1% of the population. Also practically everyone who gets it ends up with excellent natural immunity that is vastly better than these vaccines. The REAL experts, like Sunetra Gupta at Oxford University, warned that lockdowns would be ineffective and ultimately cause more deaths than covid-19: never mind the unbelievable economic damage that they have done. But people chose to listen to Witless Whitty instead.

    1
  22618. Peter Hitchens is being completely illogical (or disingenuous?) when he comes out against referendums. The most basic idea of democracy is that the government is chosen by the majority of the people, to serve the people. But, as any competent mathematician knows. The ONLY guaranteed situation in which this works is when there are only two parties to choose from: and when the vote is purely based on number of votes cast and not how boundaries are drawn. So, in fact, nothing could be fairer, and better represent the will of the majority than a referendum, in which there are precisely two choices.

  22619. Ah, but Putin is a totally insane psychopath, who has no more regard for Russian lives than he does for Ukrainian ones.

  22632. The IFR for Covid was just 0.3%, and maybe lower. It was also very well known which groups of people were at high risk. On this basis medical ethics is crystal clear. The vast majority of people should not have been vaccinated. That's even with a vaccine that has undergone proper safety trials and been in use for years, let alone one that was rushed through WITHOUT having undergone the usual 3 or 4 years of phase III trials.
    1
  22633. Only a government as inept as our current one could come up with such a crazy and insanely expensive scheme. There are lots of remote, bleak Scottish islands on which some nissen huts could be erected to house illegals. This would be vastly cheaper, and a real deterrent. Australia has such a scheme that works extremely well, so why can't the Dumbo's in Westminster copy a scheme that's been shown to be effective?
    1
  22634. Ah, "fact checking". YouTube is still in full drive removing facts related to Covid that go against governments' version of the facts.

MOST people in London do not need to drive, and in fact would save money by using alternative means of transport. Those who deny this are totally selfish liars.

  22637. Here's an example of what's changed. A few years ago, instead of going to the expense of taking on a properly qualified maths teacher, St. Ignatius College, in Enfield, took on a trainee with an English degree. Of course this was deliberately hidden from the parents, and the headteacher was apoplectic when I spilled the beans. This kind of thing goes on in a great many schools!

  22638. Short of Sunak suddenly deporting 10's of 1000's of illegals he has zero chance of making a come back, but he is far too cowardly to do this.

  22640. One has to wonder if that massive and highly regarded Israeli study, showing that natural immunity is 13 times better that vaccine generated immunity, had anything to do with this. This was a major factor in a US law professor's successful court case against mandatory vaccination. One suspects that Downing Street could see a major spanking coming along from our supreme court, and decided against getting some rosy cheeks.

  22641. Igor Konashenkov looks exactly like the kind of model Nazi that Hitler would have used to present his propaganda.

  22642. Totally criminal and evil! "Scott Mengele, the angel of death". These kids are at negligible risk from covid-19. This vaccine is not at all for their benefit, but solely to very slightly reduce the risk to those who are typically over 80. Because they have been around for only about a year, it's impossible to be certain that these vaccines won't have serious side effects a few years from now. What kind of sick and cowardly society treats its children this way? Some of the most recent research is also now indicating that vaccination may not even prevent people spreading this virus.
    1
  22643. 54% of UK adults are now fully vaccinated. We are told that the vaccine is very effective against all variants. Almost all of those not vaccinated, who have not been offered the vaccine, are at incredibly small risk from this virus. We now have very few deaths and not many ending up in hospital. Infections that don't seriously hurt people don't matter. Road accidents now cause more grief. For the UK it really is "game over" as far as covid-19 is concerned. So O'Leary is absolutely right. Travel restrictions for UK citizens are completely unnecessary. Only an incredibly stupid and unbelievably cowardly government would impose any. The Gurkhas have a motto: "better to die than live as coward!"
    1
  22644. We aren't talking about people who are awaiting trial to determine their guilt or innocence. These are convicted criminals. As in other countries, foreign criminals should be automatically deported without any right of appeal. Doing so is part of the government's DUTY in protecting its citizens!

  22660. Ukrainian casualties are truly tragic, but being ruled by Russia would be vastly worse, and mean no future for these soldiers' children. As the oldest Ukrainians will be quick to tell you, living under Russian occupation is worse than living under Nazi occupation during WW II. There really is no alternative to driving the Orcs out of Ukraine, and then joining NATO to make sure that they never come back.

  22661. Instead of seething about billions going to people who deserve help, why not seethe about the billions being lost through benefit fraud? A quarter of the working age population isn't working. At 9.4 million of them it's almost a certainty that several million are falsely claiming benefits.

  22664. I still want to know why the much cheaper policy of putting these illegals in nissen huts on cold, wet, remote Scottish islands isn't being pursued. This would be much easier to do than flying them to nice warm sunny Rwanda, AND it would be a serious deterrent.

  22671. It's going badly for Putin on the battlefield, and with mobilisation. He's probably also run out of the missiles he used to use.

  22675. I doubt Putin cares about getting his soldiers back dead or alive. Let's not forget that it's a time honored tradition for Russia to either kill POWs returned to them or send them to gulags, where they still die, but just a bit more slowly. The Russian thinking behind this is: 1. They should have fought to the death. 2. Having had close contact with the enemy they realise that they have been told lies about how bad they are, and Russia doesn't want them telling others the truth.

Because of staunch Tory backbench opposition, the extremely damaging lockdowns and restrictions could never have happened without Starmer and Labour party's unstinting support of No.10. Starmer KNEW that they would lead to something like this, but he was very happy to sacrifice the welfare of this country just to make the Tories look bad, so that he could get his foot into Downing Street.

  22688. Georgian Dream has now become Putin's puppet. Georgians need to "remove" them immediately, and replace them with people who genuinely represent and care about the Georgian people.

If this golden opportunity is wasted another one may not come again!

  22693. Wake up people! The government is desperately grasping, at the flimsiest of straws, for an excuse to bring back masks. And if they think the public will let them get away with it they will cancel Christmas too. This should be called the Fluffy Kitten variant, because it is so innocuous. South Africa doctors have described its symptoms as EXTREMELY MILD. In fact, with these rushed through, and poorly tested, vaccines proving to be not that effective this is the perfect opportunity to let what is essentially a harmless variant give people PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY. A hot off the press Harvard study has just found that NOBODY who recovered from covid-19 suffered reinfection!

So Rich Boy Sunak wants to make sure that the minimum wage keeps pace with inflation, but bugger the hundreds of thousands of really poor OAPs who he has CHEATED out of their "triple lock", and who are now getting a pension rise way below inflation. Even without Sunak STEALING what they are entitled to so many OAPs would have struggled desperately to make ends meet!

    1
  22706. You Brits really crack me up. You worry about what will happen to people in other countries. However, for a virus that kills well under 1%, you happily stood by and watched as our young people had their education and mental health well and truly buggered to hell.

  22707. I wonder if Guterres isn't expecting to have a long and healthy retirement.

  22708. But while Britain and France are stepping up to the plate the COWARDLY GERMANS have reneged on their promise to send Taurus missiles.

  22709. So many crying Putin rent boys who can't take the truth.

  22710. There's a very simple solution. Remove all the tax for people like the district nurse, who GENUINELY need to drive. The rest can either pay through the nose, or use a more environmentally friendly form of transport.
    1
  22711. How about being committed to the idea that young children don't usually know what's best for them?
    1
  22712. Putin may well have already lost more Russian lives in a month than in the entire Soviet campaign in Afghanistan. He's also lost six generals, and another senior officer has just been run over by a disgruntled squaddie in a tank. He might think of himself as a strong man, but to everyone else he's looking more and more like an evil clown.
    1
  22713. Most people would be very happy to see a ban on wearing ALL face coverings in public. But in order to pander to one particular MINORITY the government refuses to take an action that could make life safer for everybody.
    1
  22714. Putin becomes a bigger, and more pathetic, joke with every passing day. He's in no position to take on NATO, which would happen if he messes with Poland.
    1
  22715. The science was absolutely fine, but big pharma and government suppressed it because they didn't like what it told them.
    1
  22716. The best deterrent is someone getting some of their own medicine, so Ukraine must take some responsibility for these strikes, because it hasn't delivered any payback. There are Ukrainians that could very easily pass as Russian citizens. So why haven't we seen any bombs in the Moscow area taking out the infrastructure there?
    1
  22717. Years ago smokers would have told you that their filthy, disgusting habit wasn't harming others who had to share buildings with them. Similarly there were predictions of economic doom for some if they were stopped from poisoning others. Private motorists are the same!
    1
  22718. Girls as young as 12 were systematically and brutally raped. Protecting their abusers is definitely perverting the course of justice: a particularly heinous crime in this instance. If the perpetrators were white and the girls weren't then all the stops would have been pulled out to see that justice was done.
    1
  22719. Reports are now coming out of Australia that the tyrants have ignored the judge's ruling and rearrested Novak. It's also being reported that pepper spray is being used to disperse his supporters. This is a very dark day for Australia if this is true.
    1
  22720. Boris and most of his cabinet, who are as bad, if not worse, need to go. Tories who care about the Conservative party will be on their knees asking someone like Desmond Swayne to become Prime Minister.
    1
  22721. Blowing up Putin's favourite Crimea bridge would be a great way to celebrate independence day.

  22725. Well done Uncle Sam!
    1
  22726. "You can almost smell freedom". This sounds like something some poor bastard standing on the wrong side of the Berlin wall, in the cold war days, would have said. What's going on in Australia now, and especially in Melbourne, makes the country look like a despotic Nazi dictatorship. The police really do behave like Gestapo pigs, whom Hitler would have been very proud to call his own. And let's not forget that this is a virus that kills well under 1%, and that the number of cases in Australia are laughable, in comparison to other countries.
    1
  22727. If you are stupid enough to even consider negotiating with Putin then get out a history book and read how the 1938 Munich negotiations turned out!
    1
  22728. Hey, knicker wetter. Why don't you give Scots an immediate referendum on vaccine passports and lockdowns?
    1
  22729. Don't want the economic hit? Easy. Just end the vaccine mandate. Healthy people are at NEGLIGIBLE risk from covid-19. Medical ethics dictates that such people should not be vaccinated: especially with vaccines that aren't 100% safe, and whose long term effects we simply cannot know.
    1
  22730. For an ambitious general with loyal troops, who wants to advance his career, and cares about Russia and it's people, this might the perfect opportunity to "remove" Putin.

  22732. Depends what you mean by "professional".

  22733. Many of us who received a decent history education are reflecting upon what happen in 1939 when Austria and the Sudetenland were sold down the river. It didn't end well!

  22734. ​ @SodaKatana  Yes it's totally unconscionable to care about all those defenseless Ukrainian women and children that Russia has murdered, or the millions more that have been made homeless.

  22735. If this presenter doesn't feel comfortable living in a white country, and working with whites then maybe his "mental health" would improve a lot if he moved to a non-white country.
    1
  22736. Up to now, apart from soldiers on the front line, most Russians have been able to more or less pretend that there isn't a war going on. Allowing strikes deep into Russia would give them the reality check that they need, and maybe even lead to Putin's "removal", which is a prerequisite for peace.
    1
  22737. I just added this link to a reply I've made, but most won't see it. So here it is again to provide a little light relief. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJOlGdAFzA0&t=11s If you are an admirer of Boris and his cabinet, a covid snowflake, or a prude then you probably shouldn't watch it, but most should find it funny.

  22738. Well, if they don't take out Putin he WILL take hundreds, if not thousands of them out one by one.
    1
  22739. I haven't taken up the screening invitation because if they have to shove a tube up your arse to take a look there's a not insignificant chance of them doing some damage, and only a small one that they will find anything.

  22740. For millennia people have believed bilge and nonsense, and those spouting it have been rewarded. It's called religion.
    1
  22741. That is exactly what China, or rather Emperor Xi wants. China ONLY wants peace if Putin gets to keep territory that he has stolen. What Xi is terrified of is that Putin will be forced out of all of Ukraine, including Crimea. This would strengthen Western resolve, which would be very bad for Xi's plans to invade Taiwan.
    1
  22742. If enough MPs had the good sense to oppose this bill then it would force the idiots in Downing Street to consider an alternative policy that might actually work.
    1
  22743. Isn't it funny how in the last couple of years we haven't heard about France suffering from an energy crisis. Could it possibly be because the logical, sensible French derive 70% of their energy needs from nuclear power?
    1
  22744. I really do hope that, where it is safe do so, Ukrainian soldiers will pursue and kill as many retreating Orcs as possible. Otherwise they will resurface elsewhere in Ukraine, to rape, torture and murder again. Also, the faster they are made to run, the less chance they have to set traps, dig in further back, and the more equipment they will have to leave behind. And let's not forget that the bigger the rout the greater Putin's public humiliation, which is an important factor in getting rid of him.
    1
  22745. Unfortunately, most of us aren't particularly surprised by this.

  22748. How many Ukrainian civilians, including lots of children, has Russia INTENTIONALLY murdered?

  22752. If Russia does something that causes radioactivity to blow into Poland then this would be a direct act of war against a NATO ally.
    1
  22753. In many countries, including the UK and the USA, the rules are crystal clear. One can only employ someone from overseas if one can't find a citizen to do the job. The law DOES NOT say if one can't find someone to do the job at sweatshop labour wages. Unfortunately corrupt government and law enforcement turn a blind eye when companies put this spin upon the rules.

  22754. Aren't people fed up with the morons in Downing Street constantly f**king with them like this?

  22755. Lefties only believe in democracy when people vote the way they want them to.
    1
  22756. I think Putin has a good friend in YouTube, because very little prominence is being given to Ukraine success stories.
    1
  22757. The Lords did the country a massive favour, because the Rwanda treaty is a useless black hole down which the taxpayers money is being thrown for absolutely no benefit. Years ago, even human rights lawyer Tony Blair suggested using remote Scottish islands to house illegals. This has the merit of being a lot cheaper, much harder to challenge legally, AND a damn good deterrent.
    1
  22758. So, William Hague is a coward! Putin simply hasn't got the resources to escalate. He is getting a damn good kicking from Ukraine, so he is in no position to pick a fight with anyone else at the moment. Of course this desperate frightened animal is going to threaten nukes. However, those who are responsible for launching them have families and loved ones. Does anyone really believe that they are prepared to see them annihilated just to take Ukraine and save Putin's ego?
    1
  22759. While a right-wing government might be good for France, it would see a surge in dinghy boys, with the French only too happy to see them bugger off to the UK.

  22760. In every country, and every government, there are vile creatures like Dan Andrews lurking. They are just waiting for people to show weakness in defending their liberty, so that they can become the new Hitler.

  22761. They would care if the victims weren't poor white girls!
    1
  22762. Ah the "blame the variant" excuse. Funny, isn't it, that this variant that is supposedly from Kent hasn't run rampant in the UK. Is there any CONCRETE EVIDENCE that any variant is much more infectious or deadly? I don't think there is. This is just an excuse for despotic snowflakes to further torment their populations. They might as well blame the boogey man. God knows there are plenty of people gullible enough to believe it.
    1
  22763. Because the UK courts care vastly more about the criminals than their victims. After all, it's the criminals that keep lawyers' wallets nicely padded.

  22764. There are far too many people on this planet. Population decline is something to really celebrate! What part of using the planet's resources at an unsustainable rate do people not understand?
    1
  22765. Calling Putin a spy is far too generous. When he was in the KGB he was just a third rate desk jockey.
    1
  22766. The majority of the British people have only themselves to blame for accepting Covid restrictions. Where were the kind of demonstrations we saw that forced a repeal of the Poll Tax legislation? Even worse, why did parents just stand by, like sheep outside an abattoir, and watch as their children's education and mental health was buggered to hell?
    1
  22767. Welcome to the real big bad world. Most people don't really enjoy their job, so you console yourself with the pay packet. Hence the term wage slave. However taking a proper degree, like maths or engineering, vastly ups the odds of a good job. I know it's so unfair, and really sucks, but nobody cares about your Noddy degree in restroom management.

  22768. We shouldn't be calling anyone with a penis a woman. They are a man: end of. If someone gets their penis cut off they are still not a woman, but a eunuch.
    1
  22769. Well this is what happens when cowardly and stupid politicians go Chicken Little over a virus that only kills 1 or 2 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very ill. Lockdowns and similar restrictions are like trying to cure someone's cold by giving them a good dose of arsenic. Actually the analogy isn't that good, because while the cold would definitely go lockdowns have NOT got rid of this virus. Like the Terminator, with the imbecilic lockdown strategy, it always comes back eventually.
    1
  22770.  @ЛюдмилаСевастополь-ы4у  No. Russia is a terrorist state!
    1
  22771. This is why Ukraine was invaded, because the US seems weak and unwilling to bite the bullet. It would probably be cheaper and much more effective to simply take out every munitions factory and uranium enrichment facility in Iran. This would help BOTH Ukraine and Israel.
    1
  22772. And dictators like Herr Macron even more so!
    1
  22773. Rob, you, me and millions of others. I have total contempt for Scumbag Starmer as I call him. Even when Tory MPs were rebelling against Downing Street's repression, they could always count on Starmer to give them the support they needed. And those who suffered the most were the poorest, who Starmer is meant to be looking out for.
    1
  22774. Look what they have done to the country. All but literally a handful of MPs have worthless Noddy degrees.
    1
  22775. So, without even the slightest doubt, the government has let in 400 terrorists who are totally committed to overturning the British way of life and values.
    1
  22776. Unloading millions of dollars to Hamas is what they are best at!
    1
  22777. Would we see someone arrested for burning a Bible, the Torah or the Vedas? There's a damn good reason Starmer is now known throughout the world as TTK. Democracy means that others have the right to do things that upset you. If we can have films like "The Life of Brian" then ALL other religions are equally fair game!

  22778. If Abramovich had simply very publicly condemned mad dog Putin, and maybe added to the bounty on his head, he could still be enjoying his millions.
    1
  22779. Putin has already been doing all he can for a long time now. So the idea of him taking "revenge" is completely risible.
    1
  22780. But Putin is insane, and that is his goal.

  22781. What about busting the incompetent civil servants that allowed this to happen?

  22788. Yet more for Psycho Putin to celebrate on 9th May.🤣🤣🤣
    1
  22789. What Suella did had zero security implications, as the contents of her email was due to become public knowledge within hours. This was a pathetic pretext to get rid of her. But what's far more pathetic is Starmer's attempt to make something out of her re-appointment. Starmer is sulking like a little child because he didn't get an immediate election, and he knows damn well that his chances of getting into No.10 in two years time are much, much smaller. That's assuming he's even still the Labour "leader".
    1
  22790. Perfectly describes Downing Street's OTT reaction.
    1
  22791. If someone quizzes you on not wearing a mask then they are very likely to be frightened, cowardly snowflakes. So simply tell them to mind their own business, and crawl back under a stone. You are dealing with cowards, so they will back away with their tails between their legs, and think twice before quizzing anyone else.
    1
  22792. All DECENT people were very happy to see Cressida Dick go. If she had had the integrity to make the Met focus on REAL crime, rather than using them as a Gestapo force to enforce unconstitutional covid restrictions, then Sarah Everard would still be alive today. And the way she then dealt with the vigil was beyond despicable. Good riddance to really bad rubbish!
    1
  22793. The British public really are intensely stupid. They don't want to look after those who look after them when they are most in need. If most of them had even a modicum of intelligence they would be intensely worried about the number of hours our junior doctors work (and many nurses): far more than we would allow lorry drivers to. Tired people DO make mistakes!
    1
  22794. The evidence that Hamas carried out this attack is strong, but rabid anti-Semites who support Hamas won't believe it, no matter how irrefutable it is.
    1
  22795. Let's be very clear about this. The only way Hamas obtained so many rockets is from Iran: the same country that is supplying Putin. Imagine what would happen if Iran had already developed nuclear weapons. They WOULD DEFINITELY have give some to Hamas, and Hamas WOULD DEFINITELY have used them against Israel! It's way past time that every munitions factory, and uranium enrichment facility, in Iran was destroyed.
    1
  22796. People today are truly pathetic cowards, frightened of a variant that is no worse than a mild cold. One wonders what would have happened if it were 1939 once more. I suspect we would all be speaking German.
    1
  22797. Am I the only one who recalls all those peaceful demonstrations where the police set upon the protestors with teargas and water cannons. Well this is what you then get. As the saying goes: "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind!"

  22798. Are YOU unable to understand that Zelensky CANNOT allow his people to be shelled, with impunity, from this position?

  22799. Still not a single cleric or Revolutionary Guard dead. When are these bleating sheep going to actually start FIGHTING BACK?

  22800. The traces where probably tramped in form Downing Street.

  22801. All religion is superstitious nonsense. No dude rose from the dead, and no dude rode a horse up to heaven. The way things are going in the UK I can see medieval blasphemy laws being brought in. Maybe these will be followed by witch burnings.
    1
  22802. Most people are incredibly dense. Even when you explain to them that trying to stop a virus with most masks is like expecting the fencing used in most tennis courts to stop fruit flies getting through, most are too damn stupid to understand.
    1
  22803. This is so EASY to do, and a lot cheaper than 4 star hotels and shipping people off to Rwanda. Find a wet, cold, remote Scottish island and install Nissen huts on it. As soon as illegals arrive transport them straight there: and advertise it well. Problem solved!
    1
  22804. It really is amazing how many mask w@nkers there are out there.
    1
  22805. Well Joe, you and Israel are going to have to do exactly that. It's not a case of if, only of when. However every decent person in the world will support such action. Iran has stated many times that its goal is the annihilation of the state of Israel. If it gets nuclear weapons, make no mistake, it WILL use them against Israel!
    1
  22806. Well, all talk and no action is Sunak's trademark.
    1
  22807. Governments will do everything in their power to stop the truth coming out, if that truth is that these rushed through vaccines aren't that safe. Just imagine the public's reaction if it transpires that being told this vaccine was incredibly safe turns out to be a lie.

  22808. What an idiot Carrie Lam is. The time is way past to acknowledge that none of this crap works, and just get on with life!
    1
  22809.  @ellenr5898  Not very well, and certainly nowhere near as well as natural immunity, which is the right way to go for over 99% of people, for whom covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE threat.
    1
  22810. That's because, unlike most European countries, Sweden isn't even in the top 50 for deaths per million, and they have a very low infection rate.
    1
  22811. Well said, but most idiots won't believe this. Those of us who aren't as thick as two short planks have been saying so for over a year. Emperor Xi is using Ukraine as a way to gauge the West's commitment to defending freedom. If Ukraine falls he will have the green light for an attack on Taiwan!
    1
  22812. Sounds like these could be an excellent way of clearing the filthy Orc vermin out of their trenches: and the sooner this is done the better.
    1
  22813. I thought that the government had already rejected the pan(ic)demic treaty. As well as rejecting this, I think they would now find that most Brits are in favour of them defunding the WHO, which has proven itself to be corrupt and totally incompetent.
    1
  22814. Das stimmt!
    1
  22815. In the entire world there is NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE that Omicron has hospitalised or killed a single person! This EXTREMELY MILD variant offers the very real prospect of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, and bringing this pandemic to and end. Rather than trying to stop Omicron we need to be having "catch Omicron" parties!

  22816. End supply bananas to Putin fanboys.

  22817. Wouldn't it be wonderful if house prices really crashed, so that young people had the same chance to own their home that we did.
    1
  22818. Tim you are so right about the schools, and "whatever it takes" for our children attitude in other countries. Mind you, isn't the UK the child abuse capital of the world, by a long chalk? Only a country as cowardly, selfish, and sick as the UK would sacrifice the welfare of its young people. If the parents in this country cared about their kids we would have seen absolutely massive demonstrations, all over the UK, the moment the government tried to shut schools and cancel exams. I find it impossible to understand how so many parents could meekly accept the destruction of their children's education and mental health: shameful.
    1
  22819. What a pathetic bunch of cowards most UK teachers are. Sars-cov-2 poses a truly minuscule risk to these bed wetters. They should be more afraid of the dads who are going to turn up for a quiet word with them if they try to illegally force kids to wear masks.
    1
  22820. I wonder how most Belarusians feel about making themselves a target? Maybe this will be the impetus they need to overthrow Putin's puppet government and kick the Russian military out. Russia no longer has the strength to prevent them doing so.
    1
  22821. Just like watching rats scurrying through ditches on a farm. And like the rats, its important to exterminate these filthy Orcs too.

  22822. Words are cheap. Oleg should add at least another million to the bounty that is on mad dog Putin's head.

  22823. For many young people being a leftie is a right of passage, because mummy and daddy are still looking after them. But when they have to finally earn their own keep most grow out of it. Those who don't have never grown up properly, and many expect all of us who work hard to take the place of mummy and daddy.
    1
  22824. Thank you Mark. "Mother of all cock ups" is the polite way of putting it. For most of the past two years I have been calling this possibly the biggest f**k up in human history. For some time now I've been flying the Swedish flag at the front of my house, to remind people how things should be done. I have to admit to being genuinely puzzled as to why most of the media have become total government stooges. Even now they are withholding the truth on lockdowns, masks, and natural immunity, despite a growing mountain of evidence. Maybe, like so many people, they just can't bear to admit that they have been totally suckered.
    1
  22825. In the UK the government's poodle MSM vigorously censored anything that didn't support lockdowns and vaccination. The likes of the BBC never reported on anti-lockdown demos that stretched for many miles: some of the biggest UK demos ever. Also, the research showing how good and long lasting natural immunity was never made it to prime time TV.
    1
  22826. For many years now the French have generated 70% of their electricity with zero emission nuclear power. BOTH Conservative and Labour governments have screwed up on this!

  22828. In the extremely unlikely event that the Democrats win with Joe at the helm, he is likely to be suffering with full-on dementia well before his next term comes to an end!
    1
  22829. The white swallow?
    1
  22830. Good to see that China isn't missing out on Omicron. Since this variant offers the very real prospect of quickly spreading herd immunity, let's hope that its high transmissibility makes their lockdown measures fail even more miserably than usual.
    1
  22831. The sooner we set up Nissen huts on cold, bleak, remote Scottish islands, and take these dinghy boys straight there, the sooner this will stop!
    1
  22832. And so say all of us! Or the vast majority, at least.
    1
  22833.  @RabJ208  It's being chalked up to covid-19!
    1
  22834. If only 5% to 6% obtained immunity then only 5% to 6% where infected. The Cleveland and Israeli studies clearly demonstrate that almost all those recovered from covid-19 acquire very good, and long lasting, natural immunity: far better than vaccination. If this minister wants to believe then he should stop the very damaging measures designed to try and stop EXTREMELY MILD Omicron, and let it quickly, and SAFELY. spread herd immunity.
    1
  22835. If I was a juror I would definitely do an online search for anything on both parties, without being told, and even if I were told not to. As far as I'm concerned this is simply being diligent.
    1
  22836. The trouble is who would replace him. I'd like to see someone like Desmond Swayne. Unfortunately we could see someone far worse like Gove, who would make his own mother turn tricks on the street if he could see any advantage to it.
    1
  22837. Is there strong scientific evidence that, in the absence of the Delta variant, another wouldn't have simply taken its place? No there isn't! It's rather like removing the winner from the London marathon. All this means is that someone else will cross the finish line first, followed by lots more, who would take their place if they too were removed from the race. Variants are nothing more than a "get out of jail" card for dishonest and cowardly politicians, who have plenty of schmucks that will believe anything they say. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
    1
  22838. What Sweden did, letting these savages in, is like letting demons into heaven. It's so sad what these animals have done to a beautiful country that was once so safe and peaceful. And Britain is going the same way. Pleas to follow Australia's fine example, and house illegals on remote Scottish islands are ignored by our spineless government.

  22839. Can you trust a back-stabber like Rich Boy Sunak to honour a deal? As well as stabbing Boris in the back, we are talking about someone who broke the triple lock deal, giving millions of poor OAPs only one third of the pension rise they were entitled to, when they need it more than ever.

  22840. The whole free world is mightily cheered by this brilliant attack, and hoping to see similar ones in the very near future. I would particularly like to see Poo Tin's favourite Crimea bridge taken out.

  22841. It's funny how Trudeau and his media cronies say that there is little support for the Truckers, and yet non corrupt media polls, all over the world are showing comfortably over 90% support for them. No wonder bed wetter Trudeau is pissing himself.

  22842. Supporting the government's covid-19 restrictions, when its own MPs were rebelling, also have consequences!

  22843. For a fraction of that £140 million a holding camp on a remote Scottish island could have been set up and run. This wouldn't have been vulnerable to a legal challenge, AND would have been a very real deterrent.

  22844. While Putin is in power there will never be peace. One just has to hope that someone who can get to him, and loves their family, and fellow Russians, has the courage and sense to "remove" him, along with his so-called "strong men". Hitler, did a vast amount of damage to many countries, and was responsible for the deaths of many millions, but he ultimately lead Germany to utter ruin. Putin, unless removed will do exactly the same to Russia.

  22845. And kill at least 3000 civilians?

  22846. Penny Wong is without doubt a Hamas supporter and anti-Semite. She probably also supports Putin and Emperor Xi.

  22847. Perhaps those rioters should have targeted immigration lawyers, rather than migrant hotels!

  22848. Does this man even know what it is to tell the truth? The threat to the West is now increased, if anything. Afghanistan is now being overrun by the Taliban, which is sending a very strong message to ISIS and all other fundamentalist groups: "hang in there, because sooner or later the West will get fed up and give in". As for praising the valour of our troops, I wonder if Boris has the slightest idea how outraged most people are at the jailing of sergeant Alexander Blackman. This courageous man endured terrible danger while serving his country, and was jailed by bleeding heart liberals whose bravest act is changing lanes on the motorway.

  22849. Diane Abbot has always scared a lot of people off voting Labour, so they should use the opportunity to kick her out of the party.

  22853. Sohenge is either very dishonest or a complete idiot. You don't create a never ending cycle for two very good reasons: 1. Being very quickly returned to your country is a massive deterrent. 2. Those who are returned probably won't have enough money to pay the traffickers a second time.
    1
  22854. Fortunately the prevailing winds are westerly, so a lot of radioactive fallout could be blown straight into Russia. The very best way to prevent this is to assure Russia that if such an act is carried out then some dirty bombs will be exploded in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
    1
  22855. Suella Braverman is spot on. For the sake of national security anyone with foreign nationality who was on these marches should be deported.
    1
  22856. Whatever else one might say about Prigozhin and other Wagner leaders, they were on the front line with their men, unlike the cowardly, and incompetent, Russian generals. So it's unlikely Wagnerites will accept cravens, sending them to their death from plush Moscow offices, as their leaders.
    1
  22857. Just like the days when decent countries were fighting the Nazis.

  22858. Putin seems to be getting more desperate with every passing day, babbling whatever threat springs to mind, in a futile attempt to frighten those who are now laughing at him. Expect him to offer nuclear weapons to Iran before too long.

  22861. Sadly there are countless bed wetting mask wankers out there who would like to keep restrictions forever, as well as the colossal expense of so-called "free testing".

  22862. The government uses "concern for patients" to blackmail NHS workers. And as every sensible person knows very well, if you give in to a blackmailer it will never end, because they will blackmail you again and again!

  22863. This woman bore a strong resemblance to an elderly neighbour's daughter. He had a bad hernia, but she didn't want him to take out an equity release and get it fixed.

  22864. Sorry, but looking at the video this demonstration doesn't look wild or violent. There's nothing violent about setting off a flare, and I suspect that, if it's true at all, the injury from a thrown bottle is probably no more than a tiny bruise, that even a Pommie bastard wouldn't whinge about. I'm guessing that any violence was down to Gestapo pigs beating up peaceful protestors exercising their democratic rights.
    1
  22865. This really is the Chinese leadership's equivalent of the lunatic in the asylum banging his head against a wall. Surely, after several of the most stringent lockdowns in the world, even the most mentally challenged would finally realise that lockdowns don't work for covid-19.

  22866. Putin is, without the slightest doubt, hiding just how bad the economy already is from the Russian people.
    1
  22867. WRONG! Uncle Sam did the right thing.

  22868. That surrender would probably be like the one to Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones. Putin's promises are worth even less than Boris Johnson's.

  22873. Across society it's now seen as laudable and clever to deceive people, and no more so than in hiding the true price. How many times have you bought a product that's had its contents reduced, or even substituted with cheaper ingredients? Once upon at time companies prided themselves on what they delivered, and the trust of their customers. Now it seems that almost all are run by wide boy CEOs who take great pride in putting one over on those who pay for their paycheque.

  22874. Hence the expression "you lying Arab".

  22877. Using the IFR for Covid (0.3% or less), it is very clear that deaths from it were exaggerated by at LEAST a factor of 5. Excess deaths are already way above any due to Covid, and still continuing. Of course governments are ignoring them, because the explanation might be explosive. Sadly, they have been very successful in this as the vast majority of people are completely unaware of them, and even less aware of the most likely cause. And most parents certainly don't seek enlightenment.

  22878. Of course she is lying! She will say anything to try and escape the prison sentence that she so richly deserves. And Vennells, and several others are exactly the same.

  22879. Virtually every single government I.T. project screws up badly at some point, and there's a simple and common reason for this. YOU PAY PEANUTS, YOU GET MONKEYS. As someone who earned a handsome remuneration, working in the City through my own I.T. development company for about 20 years, I can tell you that there is an order of magnitude difference between the best I.T. developers and average ones. But government, or those it subcontracts, ALWAYS favour cheapness over quality. Ironically this always costs a lot more in the end.

  22880. Because of Trump Putin will try to hold out for another 15 months in the hope he is elected.

  22882. Oh, like Putin insisted that his army was just carrying out exercises near the border of Ukraine and had no intention of invading.
    1
  22883. Well, look in the mirror and you will see a Putin rent boy.
    1
  22884. Well we certainly know that Rich Boy Sunak is a devil. He is a treacherous back-stabber who cheated millions of poor OAPs out of the inflationary pension rise they were entitled to: and at a time when they have never needed it more.

  22885. Still being silenced. YouTube has bots dedicated to removing negative comments about these vaccines very quickly.

  22886. It beggars belief that, after seeing the destruction and murder that Putin has visited upon the Ukraine, that any NATO country would want to interfere with Sweden and Finland joining as quickly as possible. To be frank, I think people in most NATO countries would much rather have Sweden and Finland that Turkey, if push came to shove!

  22894. “No one should doubt the gains of the last 20 years" Does this man ever tell the truth? There are no gains! In a few weeks the Taliban will overrun the country again sending this clear message to ISIS and other fundamentalists: "if you just hang in there the West will eventually give up and hand you victory on a plate".

  22896. I don't condone what Insulate Britain are doing. However people do need to realise that if all the houses in the UK were well insulated there would be a truly massive energy saving. Perhaps we need a scheme where people who won't/can't pay to have their houses insulated have it done for free, but then the money they save on energy bills is taken to pay for the cost of that insulation, possibly with a higher tariff until the debt is paid.

  22897. As a properly qualified, and highly experienced, teacher who now exclusively tutors A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics, the entry percentages don't surprise me in the least. For years now most of my students have been Asian, Black, or Chinese. The simple fact is that most white kids are lazy and self-entitled, and often their parents don't value education highly.
    1
  22898. Let's not kid ourselves. The "deal" is everything to Trump. How he achieves it is totally unimportant to him, as is the morality of it. Don't forget that this man has several bankruptcies to his name. How many thousands of his employees' lives did he simply flush down the tubes and walk away from? Because that is what he will happily do to every Ukrainian man, woman and child.
    1
  22899. Well, the Russian MoD must have had some elementary school math lessons, because they usually claim to have destroyed even more than Ukraine ever had.

    1
  22907. Pausing the counter-offensive last winter was a truly massive mistake that allowed Russia to install a mind-boggling amount of defenses that caused Ukraine incredible grief earlier this year. If Ukraine repeats that mistake again this winter then it simply no longer deserves our support!

  22915. Tests of physical and mental health are reasonable. In fact driving with impairment, whether you claim to be aware of it or not, should be an offence. Anything else is age discrimination pure and simple. But then again, governments and the courts have turned a blind eye to age discrimination in the workplace for decades.

  22922. You really aren't very bright, are you Starmer. When investing most people consider two things: how safe their investment is, and how good the return will be. Investing in local communities ticks neither of these boxes. When they call you a wanker they certainly aren't spelling it wrong, to accuse you of working in the City, are they.

  22936. What the f**k is wrong with this man? He is almost certainly suffering from some form of depression, and not fit to give advice that could adversely affect millions of people if it is listened to. He is blathering on about infections in younger people, but these don't matter. The risk posed by a covid-19 infection to most young people is negligible! Getting on for 23 million of the most vulnerable have now been vaccinated. Yes, we will see lots more new infections, but so what. Hardly any of them will result in hospitalisations, and in fact most will be shrugged off more easily than a bad cold. It's way past time that Boris stopped taking advice from Doctor Death.

  22958. This virus represents a NEGLIGIBLE RISK to almost all kids. In fact, seasonal flu poses a bigger threat to them. On this basis alone, medical ethics clearly says DO NOT VACCINATE. This is the same reason that we only offer free flu vaccines to older people who are much more at risk. Now add on the fact that, because these vaccines are so new, we cannot be certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN long term adverse effects. Up to now, with the possible exception of Ebola (which makes sars-cov-2 look like a case of hiccups), all vaccines have had at least 4 years SAFETY TRIALS. Vaccinating kids (indeed young people in general) is incredibly wrong, and should not be done!

  22962. I can see very few benefits to Brexit, but one of them has to be getting back OUR fisheries. So I do hope there won't be a sellout on this. Certain other EU nations have been ravaging the fish in UK waters. Getting rid of them would result in two enormous wins. Firstly there would be a lot more for UK fishermen, and secondly it could be very good for conservation and remediation of fish stocks. This is also one area where the law needs to be enforced with an iron fist. Personally, I would immediately sink any vessel caught fishing illegally: no ifs, no buts, no touchy feely court hearing.

  22963. That game-changer is needed NOW, not next year! There are already Ukrainian pilots who have been training on F-16s for some time now. There are also ace NATO pilots who would love to be allowed leave of absence so that they could go Orc hunting in Ukraine.

  22972. This government also has little or no regard for the welfare of those they are meant to serve. They have already destroyed countless jobs and businesses. They have buggered the hell out of the education and mental health of our young people. And for what? In terms of infections we are as badly, if not worse, off than we were two years ago. The only difference is that we now also have to bear the insane amount of damage done by the government. When are people going to learn that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK? When are people going to look at all those happy Swedes, and realise that they got it right. Now for a variant that is EXTREMELY MILD, and (contrary to Boris's LIES) hasn't killed a single person in the entire world, Downing Street want's to repeat what has failed time and time again. But the most laughable part of all is that if left to itself there is a very real possibility that Omicron might quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  22975. Like many natural systems, our climate is what mathematicians and scientists call a chaotic system. What this basically means is that giving it a small nudge can have big and unpredictable longer term effects, and part of that unpredictability is also quantifying "longer term". So while we cannot be certain of impending disaster we can equally well not guarantee that we won't end up in deep s**t. Maybe all it takes is a very small change in temperature gradient to seriously affect the jet stream and the gulf stream. If this happens then that tiny change could have a really dramatic effect on the UK's weather. For instance, if the gulf stream misses the UK coast our climate might well be much the same as Canada's.

For the good of both the country, and these misguided young people, these totally worthless degrees need to go ASAP. If there is any merit in them they will survive without ANY help from the public purse. As for "uneducated", having a Noddy degree most certainly doesn't make you educated. As a chemistry/physics undergraduate, nearly 50 years ago, at Kings College London, I remember chuckling over a piece of toilet graffiti. Above the toilet roll somebody had written: "Sociology degrees, please take one".

  22992. I wonder if most people realise just how many comments, which a good majority of people would agree with, YouTube removes or hides. Have you ever wondered why, after hours or even days, your comment hasn't got a single like? It's because dishonest and cowardly YouTube have hidden it from everybody except you. But sometimes the script kiddies try to be sneaky by themselves giving it one or two likes, so that you think others can see it.

  22993. I'd be totally gob-smacked if this enquiry came out with the three facts most intelligent people know: 1. Lockdowns were completely ineffective, but insanely damaging. 2. Masks and "social distancing" were useless. 3. Most people didn't need vaccination.

  22994. Isn't it the height of hypocrisy when an MP is kicked out of Parliament for simply saying what everyone knows to be true. Boris Johnson is a liar and a cheat who cannot be trusted to keep any agreements or promises that he makes. Is it not disturbing that such a despicable creature is running our country.

  23008. Lots of research clearly shows that those who have recovered from covid-19 have excellent natural immunity, that may well be better than that conferred by vaccination, and might last a lifetime. It is also a very well established fact that the risk posed by covid-19 to young people is negligible. The overwhelming majority of young people who catch it will hardly notice it, and then have natural immunity. It is totally unethical, and morally abhorrent to force vaccination on these groups. This is even more so the case when one considers that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use completely new mRNA technology. We simply cannot know for certain that there will not be any UNFORESEEN adverse effects that may surface in the future. No reputable doctor would recommend vaccinating these groups, let alone forcing vaccination upon them. People need to remember that thalidomide was marketed as a very safe drug. It wasn't until 4 YEARS LATER that people began to get an inkling of the horror it was visiting on so many!

    1
  23019. So let's get this right. For months now, the Downing Street retards have emphasized how anyone can get covid-19, and how anyone can die from it. Yet now they are saying that its OK to deliberately infect people between 18 and 30 with the virus. This also goes completely against medical ethical standards. It reminds one of what went on in Nazi death camps. It's one thing to infect oneself, but quite another to infect someone else, and what Dr. Campbell fails to mention is that the infection of James Phips is overwhelmingly condemned by medical ethicists. So basically we have a government that is prepared to deliberately infect people with a virus, that they have been telling us can be deadly to anyone. And they are also very happy to skip the 5 years or so that we typically devote to achieving high confidence in a vaccine's safety. Only the most feeble minded can fail to realise that we have a government that is totally lacking in moral values, and will lie through their teeth whenever it suits them.

  23022. This jailing is the the act of a dictator. People in democratic countries have a right to insult their so-called leaders. Should a country like this be in NATO, because it doesn't do much for NATO's image? Also, if Turkey attempts to block or delay the NATO membership of two genuinely democratic counties like Finland and Sweden then the vast majority of us would back seeing Turkey replaced by them.

  23025. Unfortunately, as the Covid vaccination campaign proved beyond all shadow of a doubt, our MSM is not above broadcasting what the government wants us to hear, and censoring what they don't want us to know about. Some anti-lockdown demos were among the largest demos ever. They were not reported. Also, contrary to the best scientific research, people were told that natural immunity wasn't very good after having had Covid, when in fact it was excellent, and far superior to the rushed through "vaccines".

    1
  23028. So much unnecessary misery and disappointment caused, for no rational reason. With over 50% having had both jabs, which we are told are very effective against variants, there is virtually zero probability that letting people enjoy their hard-earned holiday abroad is going to lead to lots of new hospitalisations and deaths. This most definitely isn't "listening to the science". It's more akin to frightened little boys wanting their mummies to check under the bed, every night, for the bogey man. It's time for Downing Street ministers to start behaving like men, stop being complete cringing cowards, and stop ruining people's lives through their pathetic irrational fears.

  23029. Just how much of scientific ignoramus do you have to be to believe in UFO cover ups? The nearest star is 4 lightyears away. What are the odds that it supports advanced life? Even if it did that's a minimum 8 year round trip. What kind of propulsion system is capable of relatively quickly accelerating something to close to the speed of light and then decelerating it again: twice? And at that kind of speed collision with even a speck of dust could be very damaging. Sorry folks, but warp drive and deflector shields are pure fantasy. Personally, I think there probably is plenty of intelligent life scattered throughout the universe, but I don't expect anyone to come visiting. It would be great if we did have evidence of it, because it would blow all the religious superstitions clean out of the water.

  23032. Same thing is happening in the UK and so much of the world. Our young people's lives have been completely buggered to hell for a virus that kills well under 1% who are overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. Until this pandemic I never realised just how many millions of selfish cowards were living (if you can call it that) in the UK. I guess the same goes for Australia and a lot of other countries. Only Sweden seems to have done things right.

  23037. Biden is being a mindless coward. A third of Russia's economy is now devoted to just fighting in Ukraine. There is absolutely no way that Putin can afford to start a war with the rest of NATO. It's highly likely that he will be quickly "removed" if he tries.
    1
  23038. External exams may not perfect, but they ARE the fairest system we have got. People forget that assessment in schools has been tried. It was stopped for a very good reason. Most UK teachers CANNOT BE TRUSTED to assess students fairly and competently. It really is that clear cut.

  23039. How many covid-19 related deaths were reported yesterday? ONE. Now, how many people are dying on the roads each day, or ending up in hospital due to road accidents? Far more than anything that can be blamed on covid-19. Yes we have more infections, but they are now much more akin to people getting flu. Actually it's not even that bad, because most of those testing positive aren't even suffering as much (if at all) as they would if they had flu. There is NO RATIONAL REASON to delay June 21. Doing so would be the act of a craved coward frightened of something that poses no real threat: like standing on a chair screaming at a mouse running around the floor.

  23045. With this new Fluffy Kitten variant, that has EXTREMELY MILD symptoms, people should seize the opportunity to catch it and SAFELY acquire rock solid PROPER NATURAL IMMUNITY that may well give them full protection for life: probably even against future variants. This is what government are really afraid of: their lies about natural immunity being found out! And Javid can shove his masks up where he speaks out of! Just say "I'm exempt". The goons can't ask about your medical history.

  23063. "This Underlying Tension Is Being IGNORED!" It's been ignored for several years now, but things have gotten worse in the last year or two. MOST people now KNOW that we have two-tier policing. And yesterday's comments by a disingenuous Starmer was a deliberate attempt to deflect from serious problems that have been getting steadily more worrisome for years.

  23064. The inquiry doesn't have to use hindsight to judge the government's incompetence and treachery. All it has to do is ask why the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, were deliberately and willfully ignored in favour of less qualified people like Fearful Ferguson and Witless Whitty. Right from the start, and a few months later in the Great Barrington Declaration, the genuine experts advised against lockdowns in the strongest possible terms. In fact, why hasn't Sunetra Gupta been asked to appear before the enquiry. Could it be that this would be too damning for the government?
    1
  23065. Patience with Sunak ran out long ago!
    1
  23066. Seriously, do we really want the PENSION THIEF as PM? In a time of rampant inflation this is the man (I use the word loosely) who CHEATED millions of struggling OAPs out of their triple lock. They have received just 3.1%: way below inflation, and less than almost everyone else in the country. So many OAPs would have really struggled even without Rich Boy Sunak STEALING what they were entitled to, but he has now made a very bad situation much more desperate.
    1
  23067. It means bugger all to millions of desperately struggling OAPs, who had their rightful triple lock pension rise stolen from them by Rich Boy Sunak. Truss hasn't reversed this theft!

  23068. So true. Emperor Xi is watching very closely. If Putin is allowed to keep any territory then he WILL invade Taiwan!

  23069. "Inexperience" is only part of the problem. Like so many waste of space politicians Sunak has a PPE degree. A sheet of used toilet paper is more valuable than a certificate for this kind of degree. While many hated her, Thatcher was generally regarded as a very capable PM: she had a proper degree in Chemistry.

  23071. Allowing a pro-Hamas (call a spade a spade) protest on Armistice Day dishonours those who gave their lives for this country and our freedom. Government should ban this protest, and order our WOKE police to use whatever means is necessary to prevent it.
    1
  23072. The simple fact is that it must be made absolutely crystal clear to the Russian people that Putin will not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Maybe then they will decide that they have had enough of him and his meat grinder war.
    1
  23073. We may not be anywhere near as battle ready as we might wish. However, Russia has lost a staggering number of troops and equipment. So, in relative terms, putting boots on the ground, and fighter pilots in the air, now may well be the best strategy. Because giving Putin time to rearm and rebuild his forces is definitely the worst one.
    1
  23074. So let me get this right. We are spending an absolute fortune on migrants, many of whom are illegal. Yet our soldiers who may have to lay down their lives for this country our living with rats, while the migrants are put up in luxury hotels.

  23082. I'm certain that the Georgian people will choose to replace Putin's puppet government. However, I'm very worried that, like their puppet master, the current government will rig the election. Very heavy monitoring of this election would be an excellent idea.

  23087. Just look at how small the drones were, and their minute explosive payload. Like the earlier Kremlin attack, this appears to be the work of Putin's own FSB goons. He wants to frighten more people into supporting his genocidal attacks on Ukraine.

  23099. Trudeau is definitely the dictator, but strong man. Don't make me laugh. He's the kind of sad excuse for a man that gets sand kicked in his face. When he was at school he probably spent most of this break times hiding from the big boys, so that they wouldn't hold his head down the toilet.

  23102. A protest at the shrine is so appropriate. The people that this shrine commemorates gave their lives fighting against the kind of despotic Nazi government that Australians are now suffering under. And Australia's Gestapo pigs acted in a typically Nazi fashion, firing teargas and rubber bullets at a crowd of peaceful protesters. However, these Gestapo pigs aren't nearly so brave when it comes to taking on big tough construction workers who can, and will, fight back!

Since kids are clearly not at risk if they don't get vaccinated, there is no valid reason for vaccinating them against the wishes of their parents. Furthermore, it's definitely not about giving these kids a choice, because they will be PRESSURED into getting vaccinated by their teachers and the school nurse. And be under no illusion, once the child abusers in Downing Street are finished with your 12 to 15 year-olds, they WILL go after your younger children.

It's also been reported today that Dagestan might go to war in order to leave the Russian Federation, and there are other regions that also want out.

  23139. Even at 0.66% are we really talking about reinfection? Immunity works by very quickly recognising and destroying a virus or bacteria it has previously encountered. No one has ever claimed that you will never again get any of the virus in your bloodstream. It would have been very interesting to be told two things: 1. How many of the 0.66% became even moderately ill? I'm betting NONE. 2. How long was the virus detectable in their body? I'd be surprised if it was more than 24 hours. Most people are far too scientifically illiterate to appreciate any of this. I strongly suspect that in any practical sense the bottom line is you DEFINITELY don't get the disease again or spread it. But this isn't the message our lying, cheating, scaremongering government wants people to take home, as it wouldn't encourage them to "follow the rules".

Of course, the question is only how quickly this is going to happen, which probably accounts for his recent purges in the military.

  23163. The biggest tragedy is that this debacle isn't due to a virus that isn't really that bad. It is due solely to the cowardice and stupidity of the PM and all the spineless people who supported his panicked lockdowns and restrictions. In the last 9 months have we heard a single story of woe coming out of Sweden? Have the BBC shown us images of Swedes demonstrating against what their government is doing, and begging for the implementation of restrictions and lockdowns? No we haven't, because what Sweden did WORKS! Our economy would be in vastly better shape if we had done the same.

  23164. It's way past time that this government and it's legion of snowflakes accept that covid-19 is hear to stay, and we have to live with it. For as long as humans have walked the planet diseases have killed off the sick and the old, and sometimes new ones come along. Trying to prevent this with lockdowns is like King Canute telling the tide not to come in. Too many businesses and jobs have already been destroyed. Too many young people have already had their education and mental health buggered to hell. If vaccination can't save them, or they won't take it, then it's time to let these people die.

This sad excuse for a man will keep restrictions in place for as long as he can possibly get away with it!
    1
  23171. Russia's change of tactics is what we used to call "cutting your cloth according to your means". Short of calling up reservists, which would be an admission the the "special operation" was a lie, Putin has to focus on a much smaller area. And Russia's supply of weapons has also been heavily depleted. This is why it is so incredibly important to get good weapons to the Ukrainians' front line ASAP. That means you Germany! Dead Russian troops, with even less equipment, don't advance!

  23173. Sorry Dr. John but there is absolutely no way that any thinking person can accept your blanket statement that "people should obey the law". Apartheid was the law in South Africa for many decades. Should people have obeyed that law. A series of laws in 1930's Germany ushered in the holocaust. If people hadn't obeyed these laws then 6 million Jews, and millions more might not have lost their lives. Without doubt, today's UK government is probably the worst this country has ever had. This cabinet is stuffed full of more wankers than at any other time. These ministers (+ PM, of course) are of very limited intelligence, totally self-serving and nepotistic, and unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences of any of their actions. Do you really expect anyone who can think for them self to blindly obey their dictates?

  23185. OK, now for the TRUTH! These deaths are on the government's heads. In contrast to the SAGE scaremongers, very bright scientists told them what to do, but they refused to listen. They should have concentrated on isolating the relatively few highly vulnerable and let everyone else get on with their lives. If they had done this we would have herd immunity by now and those most at risk would have very little chance of catching this virus and dying. Downing Street adopted a very common management strategy, as did "leaders" in other countries. Do what everyone else is doing, because then if things go pear shaped you can whinge that "everyone else thought it was a good idea". It takes intelligence, integrity, and courage not to go with the crowd: and these qualities are totally absent in Boris Johnson's cabinet. This government, and parliament's hands are steeped in blood for not following the advice of the Great Barrington Declaration!

  23186. The bombing of the airport is a lesson we should learn from Russia. The Ukrainians should be given the weapons needed to take out Russian supply routes, in RUSSIA!

The main cause of all our economic woes is the earlier totally unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions, over a virus that posed a threat to well under 1% and bequeaths excellent natural immunity. In the face of strong backbench opposition from his own party Boris could never have implemented any of this without the unstinting support of Starmer.
    1
  23199. From the perspective of Ukraine, the chance of these drones taking out Putin was negligible, so why waste them: and put Russia on high alert. Also, the statement that they were taken down by means other than shooting them down seems exceedingly unlikely for military drones. With these two facts in mind, a drone attack on the Kremlin from inside Russia seems much more probable. Russians who aren't devoid of intelligence know very well that Putin's death, indeed the death of most in the Kremlin, would be an incredibly good thing for Russia.

Of course, whatever lies he may tell, Blow Job really wanted a lockdown at precisely this time, regardless of the cost in jobs and futures.

  23215. In taxes and food, prices are going up due to the government's totally incompetent handling of covid-19, which turned what would have been a very minor drama into a crisis. I bet taxes and food prices aren't going up in Sweden. Oh, and on top of this Boris is giving our pensioners an extra hard kick in the balls, by reneging on the "triple lock". I wonder how many people are really convinced that the 8% rise they should be getting is extravagant. When you consider that someone really struggling on minimum wage gets 2.5 times as much as the state pension, upping it by 8% no longer sounds particularly generous. And then we have the eye watering gas price rises to come, which would more than eat up that 8%.

  23217. It has often been said that if the allies had carpet bombed Nazi Germany prior to 1939 then World War 2 would have been averted, and millions of lives would have been saved. Looking at both Iran and North Korea one has to wonder whether the same thing applies to both these countries.

  23219. What lockdown and quarantine cheerleaders like you ignore is that these restrictions are DESTROYING countless businesses, jobs and futures. Also, it's very likely that they will ultimately cause more deaths than the virus. But the deaths will be much less visible, so Boris and his clowns are very happy with that. In fact they probably won't even be in power when a lot of the deaths occur. Sweden has the right approach, but most people are too stupid to see this, or too ashamed to admit that they have been duped by a bunch of retards in Downing Street.

  23231. “only killing 80-year-olds” Well said Boris! Maybe this isn't correct, but it is much, much closer to the truth than trying to make everyone afraid of dying from covid-19. There is now a serious mental health epidemic in many countries because people who are at incredibly low risk have been indoctrinated into being terrified of this virus. “every stage tried to minimise loss of life” But as the group of eminent international scientists, who drafted the Great Barrington Declaration, very clearly explain, lockdowns are not the way to achieve this. Boris's first idea about herd immunity was exactly the right way to go if it had been coupled with isolating the most vulnerable. This is precisely what the GBD recommended. Unfortunately Boris gave into what in Thatcher's years would have been called the "wets", when what he should have done is sack them.

  23232. I've taught in quite a few private schools, and some state schools. A hallmark of the better schools is that they support their teachers. Good school management generally know which kids are little shits, and keep them in line. Good private schools are very happy to be rid of such kids as it's better for everyone else. Only bad schools pander to worthless kids who try to get good teachers into trouble. I remember a woke head of studies. I was writing on the board, with my back to the class when someone started making silly noises. Without looking round I commented that it sounded pretty retarded. Well, some student went and complained about how offended they had been. Woke HOS was also deeply offended, but as he didn't run the school he could do bugger all. The funniest bit was that later, when I was coaching softball the kids used to shout "you retard" across the field at one another. I guess most of them preferred not having a woke teacher.😊

  23237. A well known grifter called Boris Johnson pulled this con on gullible Brits. They were told that they would be able to travel if they took the needle. But guess what? They still couldn't travel to most countries. As for those they could travel to, expensive PCR tests and red tape made sure most still couldn't travel. If you believe this then you might as well believe in Farther Christmas and the Easter Bunny. What you should believe is that this is a virus that kills well under 1%, and those who recover get excellent natural immunity that may last a life time. Most people DO NOT NEED a vaccine that has not undergone the usual minimum four years of trials!

  23242. Rich Boy Sunak is certainly best placed to starve or freeze our OAPs to death. At a time when they have never needed it more, he cheated millions of poor OAPs out of their inflation proof pension rise. I can't see these people voting for him in two years time.

  23247. William Hill won't take bets that are in bad taste, which is a pity. Because I'd like to put a tenner (or maybe a lot more) on another variant subsequently replacing the Indian one as the dominant one.

And don't bet the country's future on a vaccine. It may never come, and as many as 50% may well decide not to risk something that hasn't undergone the usual years of safety testing.

Of course, even that 1 in 45,000 is now VERY UNLIKELY to be seriously affected by contracting covid-19, because almost all those who have not been vaccinated are at laughably small risk from this virus. They will shrug it off more easily than a cold, and then end up with good long term natural immunity, which will probably protect them against future variants and similar future viruses: protection that may be better than that offered by vaccines. Those in the UK who still worry about this virus are pathetic hypochondriacs and depressives.

  23302. I wonder if Russians will be told of this visit. They need to understand that there is no way that their incontinent psychopath is going to be allowed to win in Ukraine, so "removing" him would be in Russia's best interests.
    1
  23303. Yet another example of why it is an absolute imperative that Russia not be allowed to win. This was a deliberate attack on a non military target, which could cause people in some places to starve. Putin and his equally vile supporters need to be "removed".

  23310. Alex, we all know the answer to this. Almost all of those in Downing Street would make the dodgiest second hand car dealer look like a paragon of virtue. People may have been told that they can go on holiday, but that's just to prevent a civil war. This dishonest, cheating government is doing all it can to make foreign holidays impractical for most people, and an expensive PCR test is a major part of this. So government is deliberately not enforcing a price cap.

  23311. Putin murdered people in London, with polonium and nerve agents, who had caused him far less grief and humiliation than Prigozhin. From this it's very clear that Prigozhin won't live long unless he takes Putin out first.

  23313. The cost of renting is in fair degree directly related to the cost of purchasing a house. So isn't it ironic that by making money far too easily available, by having far too tax lending criteria and absurdly low interest rates, that both the cost of owning ones property and renting have been pushed beyond what so many people can now afford.

The Green Belt was set up specifically to resist pressures to over expand London and destroy the green areas surrounding it. Yet corrupt government is removing that protection. Here in Enfield we have a truly evil council that is hell bent on destroying the green spaces that are Enfield's jewel in the crown. About 20 minutes walk from my house I can be walking down Hadley Road savouring the view of rolling fields. But our sick Labour council is planning to build 3000 houses on them.
    1
  23317. The government DELIBERATELY doesn't want to be specific, because this serves to frighten many people from saying things that they can quite legitimately say. The left has always sought to stop people expressing opinions that they don't agree with.
    1
  23318. Let's look at the FACTS. Someone eking out a living on just the state pension gets only about half of what someone working fulltime on minimum wage earns, and about one third of the median wage. Most people don't like being told the TRUTH, that the UK state pension is one of the meanest among the most developed countries. Why then is the "triple lock", which just stops a shameful state of affairs from getting worse, such a big deal? Most of those trying to survive on the state pension worked hard, and paid taxes, all their lives. Many worked a lot harder than most people do today.

  23325. The same old levelling down Labour policies. Private education significantly REDUCES the burden on state schools. Rather than destroy such schools that provide a better education, there should be a focus on improving the ABYSMAL education offered by the vast majority of state schools. There are two main causes of this: 1. The appalling discipline in most state schools discourages the best teachers from working in them. 2. In most state schools the applications of older more experienced teachers go straight in the bin! They are only interested in employing the cheapest. Never mind just newly qualified teachers, often its actually trainees. Those who don't believe this should take a look at how many older mainstream teachers there are in a state school they know.

  23337. I'd like to see Desmond Swayne throw his hat in the ring. As for Sunak, do we really want someone who doesn't think twice about cheating poor OAPs, who are already struggling, out of their rightful, and badly needed pension rise? Remember, the UK state pension is one of the meanest in the developed world. He reneged on the "triple lock". Clearly he has learnt about breaking promises and commitments at the feet of a true master. OAPs are now set to get a rise BELOW inflation, and on top of that the increase in energy bills is going to crucify many of them.

  23338. Emperor Xi is China's equivalent of Putin. He is equally mad and evil. Somebody who loves China needs to "remove" him now, while it's still relatively easy to do so. Otherwise there are going to be a lot of weeping Chinese mothers and young wives in the future.

  23343. OK, lets tell it exactly as it is, and as the wankers in Downing Street don't want you to hear it. 1. To say most people are fed up with all these insane restrictions seriously understates the case. Most want an end to all this very damaging nonsense, and will ignore it as far as they possibly can. We have a virus that is less than a third as deadly as measles, which people of my age used to carry on normal life with. The relatively few genuinely vulnerable can isolate, but otherwise let nature take its course. Saying the government has the support of the majority is a really big lie. That's why you typically see fat old bastards being interviewed. 2. If those I have talked to are a representative sample, LESS THAN 50% will take any vaccine: probably a lot less. If, like the vast majority, you are at very low risk from the virus then you would have to be completely retarded to take a rushed vaccine. Assurances from government are worthless: remember their assurances on Mad Cow and Salmonella in eggs. As my sister said, if the vaccine is so bloody safe she would like to see all the royal grandchildren being injected first. 3. Taking both the above points into consideration, lockdowns and restrictions will continue to kick the can down the road. Eventually governments will be forced to stop acting like King Canute. The sooner they stop the less damage they will do. Today's news mention 5000 extra heart problem deaths. This is just one area. The prediction of the cure killing more than the disease is coming true.
    1
  23344. ​@M J Absolute rubbish! Other countries have had much stricter lockdowns and very good adherence, but the virus just bounces back. LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK! What DOES work is just letting herd immunity develop naturally. This virus has a very low IFR. Just shield the very old and/or very sick, and let everyone else get on with their lives, instead of fucking things up for the 99.9% not at risk.

    1
  23354. If this "inquiry" wasn't a complete whitewash it would admit that lockdowns weren't necessary, masks weren't necessary, and at least 95% of the population didn't need vaccinating. So almost the only blame is down to what was done. I say almost, because if all that insanely damaging effort had instead been put into isolating the very small percentage who were genuinely at risk then maybe some lives might have been saved.

  23357. Because our prime minister and cabinet are complete morons. The schools should never have closed in the first place, as the risk to kids is so small. In fact, for the sake of the kids, schools need to go back to how they were before the covid panic. Another truly disgusting thing is that A-levels weren't rescheduled for July. By about mid May it was pretty near damn certain that kids were safe. The exam papers were already written and gathering dust, so rescheduling the exams would have been incredibly easy. Instead, many Y13 students have had their lives wrecked by a bunch of cowardly ministers. The head of Ofqual did exactly the right thing given the instructions she received. She couldn't have done anything else. It's that scum-bag Williamson that should have gone not her. I couldn't resist editing the Hilter meme, about 2 weeks ago, to parody this sad excuse for a government. If you are not a prude you should find it fairly amusing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJOlGdAFzA0&t=11s Enjoy.

  23358. One of Putin's greatest fears is that discontent regions will secede from his Russian Federation. If they perceive that Moscow can no longer defend Russia's borders this may well embolden them to do just that. And let's not forget that Georgia probably wants to take back the 20% of its land that was stolen.

Someone who can get close to Putin ought to consider this, especially as he seems to have just started his Stalinist purge. I love the fantasy that Ukraine was choosing a time to attack Russia. This is about as credible as an elephant expecting a mouse to bite it in the butt.

  23383. Nazi coercion that Dr. Mengele would be very proud of. But what's really funny about this is that research is now indicating that after a few months vaccination is pretty ineffective at stopping the spread of covid-19. Just look at the data from Israel and the UK. Of course, like spoilt and obstinate children, politicians ignore facts they don't like. As per the Great Barrington Declaration, natural immunity is the ONLY way to go. Highly reputable research in Israel and Cleveland indicates that it may be better than vaccination, and also last a lifetime. Vaccination should be saved for just the most vulnerable: and maybe the snowflakes who need a psychological crutch.

  23385. And you know why we achieved nothing? Because bleeding heart liberals in the UK and the US made our brave soldiers fight with their hands tied behind their backs. Most of us were outraged at the jailing of Alexander Blackman, for doing what was absolutely right, and what the Taliban would definitely have done to him and his men. UK and US forces should have been given carte blanche to do whatever was necessary to eradicate the Taliban, including destroying their bases in Pakistan.

  23386. We get the same doom mongers here in the UK, and they are the ONLY ones the Downing Street retards listen to, or give any publicity to. I'm so sick of hearing "because of the pandemic". Bollocks! The lion's share of the damage is being done by lockdowns and restrictions. This is a virus that typically only kills about 1 in 1000, and even then you have to be over 80 to stand a half decent chance of dying. In fact, what people aren't being told is that if you are much under 70 then you are at more risk from ordinary flu than from covid-19. Our young people have been well and truly crucified for a virus that represents negligible risk to them and very small risk to their teachers. Education in schools and universities has been buggered to hell, and so many young people are now suffering mental health problems. What kind of sick, selfish, and cowardly, society sacrifices its young people just to slightly reduce the risk to those over 80? And for those who assuage what little conscience they have by saying there's online learning, to quote from the Riddick film, "online learning sucks ass and swallows"!

  23387. Another day, another dire threat from terrified Putin. Putin is in no position to expand his war. He couldn't even defend Kursk. Also, his generals are not going to allow him to use nukes. Their families and loved ones, who have so far been unaffected by Putin's insanity, would be put at serious risk of annihilation.

  23389. The Soviet Union which suffered far fewer losses in Afghanistan, was pushed out of there.

As a freedom of information request to the ONS showed, very far from 150,000 died. Just 17,500 healthy people have die from covid-19, and almost all were over 65.

  23398. There have been drone attacks across the boarder, but there is absolutely no way that these five drones could have even travelled all the way from Ukraine, let alone done so without being intercepted a long way from Moscow. Once again this is the work of Putin's own FSB goons. Frightening his own Russian people into supporting him is a very standard Putin tactic. If a few Russians get killed in the process then it's a plus for him since it increases the fear factor. Well, that's until he gets found out.

  23404. "There is no time to loose against the Omicron variant." Would that be the same variant that South African doctors say is EXTREMELY MILD? This assessment still hasn't been disproved, and with each passing day confidence in that assessment is strengthening. Far from hospitalising and killing lots of people, there is a real possibility that Omicron might quickly and SAFELY spread herd immunity, and bring this pandemic to an end.

  23423. The sad truth is that there are an awful lot of men who aren't too bright and are really insecure. This is a large part of the appeal of a certain religion, which tells them they are better than 50% of the population. And why they can't bear the thought of someone from that 50% becoming president.
    1
  23424. An excellent place to start this enquiry is with the recent freedom of information request to the ONS. This showed that, very far from the government's 150,000, just 17,500 otherwise healthy people died from covid-19, and almost all were over 65. Covid-19 posed a NEGLIGIBLE threat to about 99% of the population. Then we can move on to the now numerous studies that show that natural immunity is both vastly better and much longer lasting than vaccination. The inescapable conclusion is that lockdowns and almost all other restrictions were totally unjustified. The advice right at the start, by the REAL experts, just to isolate the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity developed, was spot on. Our economy, and the education and mental health of our young people, has been buggered to hell, with absolutely no justification!

Finland and Sweden face a very serious threat from Russia, and to block their membership is unspeakably despicable. Frankly, I'd replace Turkey with our Scandinavian friends! Please, if you have booked a holiday to Turkey then cancel it. Don't spend tourist euros and dollars in Turkey. Go to Greece instead, as it has just as much to offer.

  23437. With friends like Turkey, who needs enemies? Any negotiations with Putin would have similar consequences to Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Hitler. Either Erdogan is intensely stupid, or he really is NATO's fifth column. With his blocking of Sweden's and Finland's NATO membership the latter seems far more likely.

Well, payback for that cowardice, and stupidity, has arrived with vengeance.

  23447. When are people going to get it into their thick skulls that even before the vaccines this was a virus that killed well under 1%, who were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. With vaccination the death rate has gone down by well over an order of magnitude: i.e. well under 0.01% are dying. But there's even more good news. Research indicates that though big bad Delta may be more transmissible it is LESS DEADLY. Viruses tend to evolve in this manner because a viral strain can spread better if it doesn't will the host. Finally, the monthly death rate has recently been well below average. In other words, as so many sensible people have been saying from the start, covid-19 mainly takes out those who were going to die soon anyway. There are far worse things than covid-19 that people should be worrying about!

What I'm much more happy about is it will give the USA the kick up the backside that it's been needing for a very, very long time. It really is a disgrace that nobody has been back to the moon in nearly 50 years. If the USA doesn't well and truly get it's finger out we are going to see a Chinese flag planted in all that water at the moon's south pole, and also on Mars. And to be honest I'd rather see any nation accomplish these things ASAP than no nation at all.

  23450. Could it be because only fools elect a clown to run their country?

  23451. Right at the start the government was given the advice, by some of the world's foremost experts, subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration. But, like most scientifically illiterate politicians, they decided they knew better, and that a few weeks lockdown would provide a quick fix: despite experts telling them it wouldn't work. It didn't, so what did they do? More of the same again and again. If they had followed the advice then most people would now have the vastly superior and longer lasting (maybe a lifetime) natural immunity, and covid-19 would be a footnote in history. This virus is here to stay. Further lockdowns and restrictions will simply cause more damage, without doing the slightest good. The ONLY logical solution is to keep vaccinating JUST the most vulnerable, and let everybody else eventually acquire natural immunity, while getting on with a normal life. If the snowflakes don't like it they can go hide under a stone. Nobody will miss them.

  23468. Bang on, Neil. The fact that, immediately prior to tightening of restrictions, two variant cases were detected in the UK looks completely stage managed. But more to the point if they were immediately able to come up with two cases that means that there have been vastly more that went undetected up to now. And that's because there has been no rise in deaths or infections due to it. The simple truth is that the government has been gagging to bring back masks. They also really want a Christmas lockdown. This variant is nothing more than the flimsiest of excuses to tighten the tyranny. If people ever want to see their freedom again they are going to have to fight back and refuse to accept this repression.

So why aren't we putting up tents or nissen huts and hosing them there?

  23473. Am I the only one who thinks that vaccinating healthy young children against covid-19 is truly wicked? It's not just that the risk to them posed by this virus is so incredibly small. Left alone, for virtually zero suffering these children would get and recover form covid-19 and gain natural immunity. And there is an excellent chance that this natural immunity would be so much better than that provided by a vaccine. It could give them long term protection from future covid-19 variants and maybe similar viruses. The people vaccinating these children are latter day Dr. Mengele's: truly evil!

  23479. No, no, no! What this irrefutably proves is that while the vulnerable need boosters, the rest of us need to rely on NATURAL immunity. For the vast majority of us catching covid-19 is far less hassle then having a bad cold. Even at 62, when I caught it, I found this to be true. As the Israelis also found, natural immunity is vastly better than vaccine induce immunity. And it lasts longer: maybe a lifetime. They also found that "there is no statistically significant benefit in vaccinating those with natural immunity. The government, and its poodles, will never tell you this, because it means that the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration is spot on, and there should never have been any insanely damaging lockdowns.

After all, this is the desired end result of vaccination, so it doesn't matter how, when, where you arrive at it. Of course one then needs to have faith in whoever produced the immunity certificate, but that should be vastly easier for governments to coordinate.

  23491. Maybe not in the same league, but nonetheless fraud, this reminds me of quite a few individuals one often sees on various tutoring websites. As some have been there for years I assume enough gullible parents fall for their scams. The most common one is probably claiming to have gone to an excellent university, and to have a 1st class degree in something really impressive. I wonder why parents don't ask themselves why these people, who are usually quite young aren't in a very well paid high-flying job. Though, unbelievably, some claim they are, but want to also tutor. Second most common is the claim that all students tutored by them attain A or A* grades. Even a teacher teaching a top set in a highly selective school doesn't get results like this. But as they say: "there's a sucker born every minute".

  23492. We need to get a few munitions factories up and running very quickly in the UK, and make the PARASITIC unemployed earn their dole by keeping them running 24/7. We have decent Ukrainians who have lost everything, through no fault of their own, so it's time that the pathologically work-shy were made to do something for somebody else.

  23494. Two points: Firstly, as has been mentioned many times, the PCR test detects fragments of virus particles. This does not prove infection! Secondly, most of those now (genuinely) infected will shrug off covid-19 more easily than a bad cold. They will then posses excellent natural long term immunity.

  23495. Now would be the perfect time to move against Lukashenko, while Putin is unable to help him. This would also be a great time for Georgia to follow Ukraine's example and take back the 20% of its land that Putin stole. There are probably several other regions that also want to escape from Putin's influence. Imagine what would happen if they all made their move together now!

  23498. Let's lay the blame for this squarely where it lies, not with people "not following the rules", but with the retards in Downing Street. Most of those in hospital are those who are very vulnerable. Yet many months ago an international group of some of the brightest scientists drafted the CORRECT approach, in the Great Barrington Declaration. Government should have paid heed to this. The recommendation was to focus sharply on the most vulnerable and leave everyone else well alone. But morons like Blow Job and Hancock ignored this advice. It would have saved people's jobs, young people's education and mental health, AND LOTS OF LIVES. Those who have relatives dying now can thank Blow Job and his cabinet. Rather than admit that they got it wrong, and take the far better tack recommended by very bright scientists, they decided that it was preferable to let so many more die, in the hope of covering up their incompetence. Make no mistake lockdowns and restrictions don't work. We've had plenty of both in the UK and yet infections are higher than ever. We see exactly the same scenario playing out in many other countries, including those with stricter restrictions. Just how much more evidence (and deaths) is needed before a different approach is taken?

  23502. As scumbag politicians, throughout the world, are fond of telling us, anyone can catch and die from covid-19. BUT that's rather like saying that anyone can win the lottery. The truth is that this virus kills well under 1%, and most of those are very old and/or very sick. It's totally insane and immoral to screw up the lives of over 99% of people, who this virus won't harm.

  23503. Lots of people have suggested that "Long Covid" is a complete fabrication, but it suits the narrative if many governments. It also provides the feckless with an excuse for sponging off others instead of working. But then again we had far more of a PANICdemic than pandemic.

  23505. If there is a nuclear "accident" there's a good chance that prevailing Westerlies will blow a lot of the released radioactivity over Russia. Russians should also be aware that some very nasty radioactive materials are readily available in Ukraine. So, even if the government doesn't endorse it, it wouldn't be too hard for a determined group of individuals, who wanted payback, to put together some dirty bombs or drones that could seriously contaminate Russian cities.

Now, unless this law is very quickly changed, this country's security is at very serious risk.

  23518. Sadly, history is on Putin's side. The US eventually gave up on Vietnam, and after a few very expensive years the West gave up on Afghanistan. However this is far from the whole story. Firstly the Soviet Union also gave up on Afghanistan, in the face of far smaller loses than it has already suffered in Ukraine. Also, unlike those in Afghanistan and Vietnam, who would rather see others die in their war than defend themselves, the Ukrainians are fighting incredibly hard for their freedom. Ukraine deserves sustained, and increasing, support until Putin's evil empire is defeated.

  23534. Very sad, but most of this can be laid very squarely at Downing Street's door! Early in this pandemic some of the brightest and most eminent scientists in the world got together to draft the Great Barrington Declaration. Like the rest of us who aren't complete idiots they knew that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK. So, instead of destroying people's jobs, education, and mental health, they advocated focusing sharply on isolating the relatively few highly vulnerable. This advice was ignored by our buffoon of a prime minister. If the GBD had been followed it's extremely likely that there would have been a lot less deaths, AND we would now have herd immunity, which would mean we wouldn't have to worry in the least about variants or infection rates in other countries: or vaccination. The British public elected ministers of very limited intellect, and even less integrity. Bad choices have consequences, and Joe Public is paying an extremely high price for the very bad choices that so many made at the polling booth.

Is it right to sacrifice younger people's lives, especially the education and mental health of kids, for a few old fossils?

They are misrepresenting precedent law to claim that previous mandatory vaccinations mean that these ones are legal. However, as any honest judge would immediately note, there is a very significant and crucial difference. Firstly, in all previous instances the disease posed a high risk to the vast majority of people, whereas this virus only poses a serious risk to about 1%. Secondly, we now have fairly high proportions of most population with extremely good natural immunity, who are not made any safer by vaccination. Why is it that only US judges seem capable of seeing this, and knocking down these illegal laws?

The problem is that scumbag Starmer only cares about getting his foot in No. 10, but it seems to have backfired. You see Labour is mean to care passionately about the working-class, which have been hardest hit by these insane lockdowns. But we might not have had them if Starmer hadn't given the government his full support. And why did he do this? He thought he was giving the government plenty of rope to hang themselves with. Unfortunately, it looks like the working-class have realised that the Labour party is now stuffed to the gills with Judas's who are only too happy to see them crucified.

One has to wonder whether Sarah Everard would still be alive today if she had been allowed to carry mace or pepper spray. In the US there is the very sensible assumption that the bad guys aren't worried about obeying the law, so you allow people to carry items with which to defend themselves. But it really does seem that, in the UK we care far more for the welfare of criminals, than that of good decent people. Then, to be a bit cynical, it's the criminals that keep so many lawyers in their comfortable lifestyles.😉

In contrast, the Russian strike only seems to have left a few craters near the building, and blown out windows. Some of those inside probably only suffered a few cuts and bruises. The Russian military's desperate lie just makes it seem an even bigger laughing stock, if that's possible.

  23588. Here's a VERY GOOD alternative. Covid-19 poses such a small risk to under-30s that it would be BETTER FOR THEM not to vaccinate them at all. If they catch covid-19 they will probably develop far better immunity than that conferred by a vaccine. Such natural immunity is much more likely to protect them against future variants and similar viruses. It's time to be honest. Vaccinating under-30s is purely for the benefit of a few (very) old bastards. And performing a medical procedure on someone purely for the benefit of someone else, unless it's something they REALLY want to do, is COMPLETELY UNETHICAL.

One would have thought that with their history Germans, more than any other country, would appreciate how important it is not to appease the likes of Putin: perhaps he needs to grow a moustache. Poland has a fraction of Germany's wealth, but look how much the Poles have opened their hearts and their wallets to Ukraine.

  23598. This is exactly what has politicians wetting themselves. Right at the very start, the REAL experts told governments that lockdowns would not work, but would cause an insane amount of damage. Their advice was to just isolate the most vulnerable and let natural herd immunity develop. This advice was published, for all to see, about 6 months later, in the Great Barrington Declaration: signed by thousands of doctors and scientists. If Omicron causes herd immunity then people will start questioning why the advice in the GBD wasn't followed. This is the ONLY reason why so many politicians are determined to stop the spread of Omicron: no matter what the cost.

  23610. It's very good, and necessary, that Biden did this. Russians must be assured that they will never be allowed to win in Ukraine. However Putin will almost certainly try to hang on until the American presidential elections, in the hope of Trump winning and turning his back on Ukraine, and maybe NATO too.

  23611. "riddled with covid-19" What a pathetic joke. Anybody would think we were dealing with a ship packed with rats carrying a penicillin resistant strain of bubonic plague. I beginning to think Australia is relishing being the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

  23612. Let's not beat about the bush. The truth is that TTK and most, if not all, of his cabinet are complete imbeciles.

  23613. Well, YouTube has been vigorously suppressing the evidence about Covid natural immunity, the risks posed by mRNA vaccines, and how useless most masks are. It makes you wonder how much they are being paid by government and big pharma. Whatever happened to Google's "don't be evil" motto?

  23618. What a complete and utter farce this so-called "inquiry" is. You don't ask the likes of Whitty whether lockdowns worked. Do you honestly expect him to say that what he recommended was completely unnecessary, totaled the economy and NHS, and buggered the hell out of young people's education and mental health. There are several INDEPENDENT and highly reputable studies that have concluded that lockdowns were completely ineffective. And even the most cursory glance at the statistics will show that their is virtually NO CORRELATION between death rates and lockdowns, or how vicious they were.
    1
  23619. A good time to reflect on all the technology, like proton beam machines, that WON'T be bought for our hospitals because of the billions squandered on lockdowns. That equates to lots and lots of unnecessary deaths.

  23620. Not rolling over and letting Putin have Ukraine "provokes" Russia.

  23621. Deeply terrifying. We are probably just seeing the tip of the tip of an iceberg. It might take years of even decades for these "vaccines" to adversely affect some people.
    1
  23622. Thousands of lockdowns across the world, often severely repressive, and repeated several times, have proved to anyone who isn't mentally feeble that THEY DON'T WORK! Of course people are getting extremely hacked off, because dumb-ass governments are screwing up their lives for absolutely no gain. At the very best all these insane lockdowns do is kick the covid-19 can down the street a little. It's JUST the vulnerable that need locking down (and vaccinating). Everyone else needs to get on with their life, so that rock solid NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY is allowed to develop. Contrary to government lies natural immunity is really good: far better than vaccination. Take a look at happy Sweden, which has never had a lockdown. Unlike the UK and most of the EU it isn't even in the top 50 of countries with the most deaths per million. It's infection rate is really low as well. But it seems that governments would rather continue with the same failed policies, see more people die, and screw up the lives of all the others than admit they got it badly wrong.
    1
  23623. YouTube also take great exception to comments about towing illegal small boats back to French territorial waters, or housing those that are in the UK on remote Scottish islands. But YouTube is very dishonest so sometimes they shadow ban, so that only you can see your comment. Also, if they allow people to see comments that they don't like, they often remove the "likes" to give the false impression that people don't agree with what's posted.

  23626. While it might be technically impossible to remove online immunity for the most tech savvy, it would be relatively easy to do this for the vast majority. In this country you do not generally get arrested for voicing your views, or name calling, so there really is no good reason for online anonymity. I have always maintained that if you have something to say then you should have the courage and decency to put your name to it. So I would fully support Priti Patel in her quest to banish online anonymity: for most it's a coward's charter. I firmly believe in free speech, but I equally firmly believe that people should have the courage to own what they say. Now watch all the anonymous abuse this comment evokes.

  23632. If Boris hadn't been such a wimp he would have followed Sweden's example and never allowed those insanely damaging lockdowns. Looking at deaths in Sweden shows how totally unnecessary they were. And several highly reputable recent studies have shown that lockdowns were completely ineffective. Covid only had an IFR of 0.3%, or less, and it was well known that those at risk were overwhelmingly very old and/or very sick. ONLY those people should have been told to self isolate.

  23633. That before will be a lot sooner if the US pulls support from Ukraine and allows Putin to win, because that will give Emperor Xi the green light for his invasion.

  23636. The ONLY thing Starmer is focused on is getting as many votes as possible in the general election. He will say and promise absolutely anything he thinks will get him into No.10.

  23638. Anyone who doubts that the UK has a two-tier justice system need only look at how this incident is being handled. A while back Lucy Connolly, in the heat of the moment, tweeted about burning illegal migrant hotels down. She did not suggest killing any one. She was very quickly arrested and jailed for 31 months. In stark contrast, what Bob Vylan did was totally premeditated and did urge the death of others, yet he is still a free man!

  23644. The expression "cutting off ones nose to spite ones face" comes to mind: along with things like "dog in the manger". As for age discrimination, Labour doesn't give a damn about it. I very recently emailed the Labour MP for Enfield North in regard to Lidl only giving discounts to people who used their smart phone app, and not supplying a plastic card, like almost every other supermarket. I pointed out that this directly discriminated against older people. I didn't even receive a reply!

  23654. ANYBODY who falsifies their CV, when this brings them financial gain, is committing the criminal offence of fraud. Unfortunately no one is ever prosecuted for this, and so it is very widespread and continues. The losers are organisations and honest people.

  23655. With the Russian army having proved themselves to be nothing but a band of rapists, torturers and murderers, Ukrainian soldiers don't have the surrender option: better a quick clean death on the battlefield.

  23656. A few days ago I received the May 2021 edition of Scientific American. In it was an article titled "Age of Opportunity". In large measure it confirmed what the honest among us already know, and have been saying for the past year. That there is a window of opportunity, during which the brain is developing, which needs nurturing, and also makes it particularly vulnerable. The article also stressed how incredibly important social interactions are. My point is that many maintain that there was little evidence that keeping schools running normally would have significantly increased the risk posed by this pandemic. Yet, without this strong evidence, the vermin that now inhabit Downing Street instituted measures that many psychologists would maintain have been extremely damaging to the nation's young people. Perhaps you might like to do a piece on whether you think it might subsequently be possible to put Johnson and his cronies on trial for the damage he has inflicted on our young.
    1
  23657. An excellent and very wise move. This will definitely panic the Orcs and turn what might be an orderly withdrawal into a stampede, which can only be to Ukraine's advantage. The more Orcs that can be killed, the less there will be to come back and do more raping, torturing and murdering of civilians.

  23658. The only thing Ukraine should receive a very light rap on the knuckles for is not succeeding. Next time use bigger drones, and more of them.

    1
  23662. This is obvious to anyone who isn't mentally enfeebled. These reservists won't have the training, and they will probably also be poorly equipped. But Putin is a psychopath, with no more regard for Russian lives than for Ukrainian ones: and now a very desperate psychopath. Also, it takes time to mobilise and the Ukrainian military is making a rapid advance, so it's hard to see how this is going to help Putin.
    1
  23663. Of course Russia is interfering. Putin wants to keep his misogynist best buddy in power. I would be at all surprised if some of Putin's FSB goons tried to arrange "accidents" for the opposition.
    1
  23664. One thing that really makes me laugh is dumb-ass employers accepting strike days that leave one day sandwiched between them. It's obvious that hardly any services will run on the sandwiched day, so employers should consider workers to be on strike on that day too, and not pay them for it.

Why should young people's lives be ruined because selfish old people refuse to follow good advice?

  23670. To be honest, the Tories had already lost control. The trouble is that Labour seem to have no desire to even attempt to get it back. I'm waiting for them to erect multilingual signs in Dover saying: "Illegal migrants please follow the red carpet to collect your generous benefits".

  23671. Part of the reason Erdogan has stayed in power for 20 years is that he doesn't hesitate to resort to a whole raft of illegal means in order to hold on to it. There's a damn good reason his opponents wear bullet proof jackets: well the ones he hasn't jailed on trumped up charges.

  23672. So people like this expect the rest of us, who pay our bills, to pay even more so that they can have free energy.

And, as seems to be the case over 90% of the time, notice how FAT this impoverished person is.

  23673. For Australians who don't know, they don't come much thicker than Angela Rayner. This woman left school, pregnant, at 16 without even a single most basic qualification to her name. And the two "qualifications" that she subsequently got aren't worth the paper that the certificates are printed on. The irony is that a woman like Rayner wouldn't last a minute under fundamentalist Islamic law.

  23685. What about first forcing YouTube to end the incredible amount of woke censorship it engages in. Is it right for such a high profile internet site to be allowed to remove or hide content and comments that most decent people agree with? I've contacted President Trump about this, and encourage others to do the same.

  23686. This is exactly what so many of us have been saying will happen if Putin is allowed a victory in Ukraine.

  23687. There's going to be blood in the streets if this useless nonsense is brought back again. There will also be a need for police in the hospitals to stop people, who have had enough, switching off covid-19 patients' ventilators: plan D to relieve strain on the NHS.
    1
  23688. The indications are that most Americans don't want either Trump or Biden as president. Why can't both parties recognise that BOTH these men are unsuitable and choose new leaders? Putin is laughing his socks off. He's got one man who's frightened of upsetting him too much, and another who wants to pull the aid that's currently being given to Ukraine.

  23689. Of course, because these were white girls, TTK has done NOTHING.

  23692. If Putin had much brains he would never have invaded Ukraine!
    1
  23693. The talk about "dismantling the Russian Federation" sounds as if Putin might be laying the groundwork for when all the countries and regions that have a grudge decide to take advantage of Putin's weakness. As soon as things start to happen he will blame them on NATO and the West. There is a lot ready to go down. To name just two possibilities, Georgia might try to reclaim the 20% of its territory that was stolen, and the Belarusian people might realise that Putin is no longer able to spare the troops needed to keep their Fat Dictator in power.

  23694. It's not good for global warming, but a really big silver lining would be if Ukraine was responsible, rather than it being an accident.

  23695. Well we all know where the buck stops when it comes to imposing unnecessary lockdowns, that recent reputable research has judged totally ineffective. We also know who to blame for encouraging people to get a vaccine, that hadn't gone through proper phase 3 safety trials, and that most didn't need.

  23696. Before too long we will see Putin blaming these attacks, by his fellow Russians, on Uncle Sam and the UK.

If Biden doesn't have the mental faculty to understand that he needs to step down, and those who are supposed to care about him don't make him, then I have fears for his safety, because as things stand he is handing the presidency to the Republicans, and some people are going to get inordinately upset about this.

  23713. The simple fact is self isolation should now be the sole prerogative of those who are highly vulnerable and can't be vaccinated, or the cowardly, quivering snowflakes. The vast majority of vulnerable people, plus a great many others, have now been double jabbed. If this does what the government tells us it will do then almost all of these people have absolutely nothing to worry about. Likewise almost all those who have not been offered the vaccine are at extremely low risk and will shrug off covid-19 more easily than a bad cold. Absolutely no allowance should be made for the refuseniks, which includes me. All this panicking Chicken Little crap needs to stop.

Isn't it way past time that government and UK media came clean, and told everyone just how EXTREMELY MILD this variant is. We don't want to stop its spread. We should be having Omicron parties, so that we can rapidly and SAFELY achieve herd immunity.

As for playing the mental health card, there was a time when people would be deeply ashamed to do this. A good percentage of mental health issues are really just serious character flaws. Some people genuinely can't help being fat, but most simply don't want to take responsibility for something that's very much their own fault!

  23729. Given the very small size of the drones, and their minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched within Moscow itself, or very close to the city. So it's reasonably likely that might even have been launched by Putin's own FSB goons, in order to frighten Russians into supporting him more.

  23730. If Qantas were genuinely committed to safety they wouldn't force poorly tested vaccines on people. It is impossible to be sure that there won't be any long term adverse effects from these rushed through vaccines. Those who have recovered from covid-19 already have excellent natural immunity. Those who are young are at negligible risk. These groups should not be vaccinated.

With a half life of just over 12 years this means that they need a lot of regular expensive and complicated maintenance. I can just see corrupt Russian officials, for several decades, ticking the boxes and pocketing the money. After all if Russia ever tries to use these nukes then getting found out will be the last of their worries.

  23734. Well it won't be down to a decision by Putin, because he absolutely doesn't care how many Russians or North Koreans die: and neither does Kim Jung Un.

Strangely, I'm not hearing similar tails of people who have previously had covid-19 catching it again. But, naughty me, I should know by now that mentioning how good natural immunity is really upsets the snowflakes.

  23742. I don't think Putin cares about his own people, but he should bear in mind that many Ukrainians speak perfect Russia, and could move about undetected in Russia. So if chemical weapons are used in Ukraine there is an excellent chance that one will be set off in a crowded Moscow metro station. Even for an ordinary civilian its very easy to make some incredibly nasty chemical weapons. While he won't care about the deaths, Putin might care about them eroding his support.

  23749. Labour's plan is simple. For every illegal the EU takes back they get to send two over here legally, that we can never get rid of. Then Starmer's immigration and human rights lawyers get to stick their snouts in a never ending gravy train, that the rest of us have to pay for.

  23766. Nana, is so right. There are far too many bureaucrats, many of whom are grossly overpaid. This in itself is bad enough, but in fact it's far worse, because most of these parasites actually make the work of our hard working doctors and nurses much harder, and often tie them down with so much useless admin that the time they can spend with patients is very significantly reduced. Most of these bureaucrats are a virulent cancer that urgently needs to be cut out!

  23768. Does this presenter really not understand that making kids wear masks is CHILD ABUSE. A few years ago teachers would have been struck off for this. Also, a study in Bangladesh, carried out a few months ago by Harvard University, showed very clearly that the kind of masks worn by most people are as much use as a condom with a hole in it. Furthermore Omicron has now been irrefutably proved to be as EXTREMELY MILD as South African doctors said it is. People with Omicron should NOT be isolating!

  23772. This is more entertaining than watching Fawlty Towers. "Don't mention that covid-19 kills well under 1%, and that those who recover have excellent natural immunity. I did, but I think I got away with it." A handful of cases and the whole country shuts down. You couldn't make it up. And Australia is just as bad. God knows our politicians are thick enough, but those down under really take the biscuit. They are honestly stupid enough to believe they can sustain zero covid-19, but to paraphrase Arnie, it will always be back. It's way past time to man up, and suck it up!

  23778. If Boris really did argue that lockdowns are mad then he should have stuck his guns and not given in to self-serving snowflake ministers. He might be surprised to find that probably the majority agree with this assessment, although the snowflakes do squeal very loudly. He even had an alternative strategy available, sanctioned by some of the brightest and most eminent international scientists. All he had to do was adopt the Great Barrington Declaration. This strongly advised against lockdowns and suggested just isolating the most vulnerable. I hate lockdown cheerleaders with a burning passion. Their cowardice and selfishness has cost millions of jobs and businesses. it has also buggered the hell out of young people's education and mental health.

  23780. There is nothing to celebrate! Despite the fact that very few infections are now likely to result in hospitalisations, which are falling fast, the government refuses to loosen its dictatorship. Yet again it's been reported that schools hardly contribute to the spread of infections. Yet Downing Street is still refusing to let schools go back after half term, or reinstate exams. This, despite teachers and doctors constantly telling government that they are crucifying our kids: destroying both their education and mental health. We seem to have a government whose only concern is holding on to as much power as possible, for as long as possible. Saying we should celebrate is like clapping for the NHS: a cynical propaganda exercise.

  23785. Young people should not get the jab at all, for exactly the same reason that they don't get a flu jab each year. Covid-19 poses a NEGLIGIBLE risk to young people. But vaccinating young people may even be doing them HARM in the long term. Vaccines typically just target one of a virus's antigens, whereas the immune system targets lots of them. This means that those who contract (even asymptomatically) covid-19 may well end up with FAR BETTER NATURAL IMMUNITY. It may well last much longer, and may also confer superior resistance to new variants and similar viruses that occur in the future. Vaccinating young people does them a massive disservice by robbing them of this opportunity, and as such is COMPLETELY UNETHICAL.

  23786. What's the point of a comments section if YouTube removes those that MOST people fully agree with? Oh, by the way, YouTube's script kiddies have a new trick, that they think is very clever of them.

  23789. To be honest, I think this is much more of a propaganda exercise. The war is going incredibly badly for incontinent Putin, so he is now trying to frighten his own people in order to keep their support. Because, let's face it, he has had little success frightening those outside Russia, with the exception of the Germans.

  23790. If people want to see where things are heading then they need only look at Lithuania, with it's "opportunity pass". This expression could have come straight out of the mouth of Josef Goebbels. There are now machines that stop unvaccinated people entering shopping malls. Of course the BBC hasn't reported this, because Downing Street don't want the great unwashed contemplating where we might end up.

  23794. Starmer and his police chiefs can follow Goebbels' advice about repeating a lie often enough, but it won't work. Most of us have seen two-tier policing in action again and again, and are deeply worried and offended by it. We are also outraged at seeing illegal migrants put up in plush hotels that most of us cannot afford to stay in, and not seeing foreign criminals deported.

  23798. Just had a thought of something I should have added to my earlier comment. Maybe part of the reason the Swedish government acted in a much more sensible manner was because Sweden is a vastly more egalitarian society. So their government looked at what was best for the vast majority rather than just a few rich and powerful old people.
    1
  23799. It's no good Starmer, and his police chief cronies, telling us that there isn't two-tier policing when we have all witnessed it time and time again. To even make a start on restoring trust this has to be fully acknowledged and ended. To give but one of many examples. A man pushes a flaming wheelie bin towards police. Definitely very wrong, but no serious damage done. He very quickly gets a substantial jail sentence for this. However, to the best of my knowledge, the animal who broke a policewoman's nose hasn't even been charged!

  23804. Party on dude, like there's no tomorrow. Because after Christmas they are going to grind you into the dirt. And the funny thing is that none of these lockdowns or restrictions appear to do any good whatsoever. Arch wanker Drakeford has crucified the Welsh and yet infection rates are the highest in the UK. Germany's approach was previously hailed, yet their rates are now also very high, and Italy, which had vicious lockdowns, now has Europe's highest death toll. The bottom line is that there doesn't appear to be any correlation between raping people of their freedom and covid infections and deaths. And let's not forget for 999 out of 1000 this virus is less bother than a bad cold. So fuck Blow Job and Hancock. Enjoy Christmas AND New Year to the full. You richly deserve to after all the USELESS lockdowns and restrictions that you have put up with.

  23805. About 40 years ago I visited a very safe and happy Sweden, but since then the country has changed a lot. Sweden let in lots of the wrong sort of immigrants and they have seriously hurt what was once a model of excellence that other countries envied. It's not racist to tell the truth. And that truth is that certain groups of people have no place in civilized Western society!

  23806. The Russian people must be intensely stupid if this video impresses them. Firstly, mines are usually well hidden, so this is rarely an option. Secondly, and more importantly, less than 1 in 1000 of the cannon fodder conscripts will get such training.

  23807. Putin himself knows that he can't survive unless he delivers a victory in Ukraine, and soon. Whatever the bluster, this war is seriously hurting and humiliating Russia, and one of the easiest exits for Russia would be to "remove" Putin and blame him for everything. Hence the pathetic attempts to scare off the West and NATO. Putin is like a frightened animal trying his best to look scary as the wolves close in for their dinner.
    1
  23808. We all know that Russians are really thick, because they keep someone like Putin in power. But are they really so dense as to believe such complete nonsense? And do the also believe the grossly understated number of deaths? The main reason they are dead is because they were in a country they shouldn't have been in!

  23812. Covid-19 represents a negligible threat to school kids, and a minute one to most teaching them. Also, no evidence has ever been presented to demonstrate that any of the measures taken in schools have reduced transmission of this virus. The simple fact is that the implementation of restrictions in schools, and the cancelling of exams, was a cowardly and selfish act that probably had no beneficial effect. Our kids education and mental health has been buggered to hell for NOTHING!

  23813. Any site that is being used to attack Ukraine is a completely legitimate target. When Britain sent these longer range missiles to Ukraine it should have recognised this and stated it unequivocally.

  23814. Very well done those schools! Parents send their daughters to such schools so that they can be educated in a safe environment, where they won't be disturbed or molested by boys.

  23839. While most of us don't condone the riots, they are but a symptom. Here's just a small sampling of what has sparked them : 1. Tens of thousands of people being allowed to cross the channel and illegally enter this country, only to be put up, at our expense, in plush hotels. 2. Years of abuse of young girls in places like Rochdale that was carried out with virtual impunity. 3. So-called "pro-Palestinian" marches that should have been banned, but were given carte blanche by our two-tier policing system. 4. The animal who broke a policewoman's nose not even being charged, but her colleague facing criminal investigation. Starmer blaming everything on far-right thugs is a seriously dishonest deception that deliberately seeks to obscure the real problems and concerns of MOST people.

If he wins there he will, without a shadow of a doubt, attack other countries. Secondly, Emperor Xi is closely monitoring the West's response. If we throw in our hand then Taiwan can kiss its independence goodbye, and we will see increased Chinese aggression in other arenas as well.

  23847. ​ @ashleylittle6776  In a business you only get sacked for not telling the boss what he wants to hear.

  23859. Yet another example of the total futility of lockdowns. Why were most countries "leaders" incapable of learning the blatantly obvious fact that lockdowns simply kicked the covid can down the road a bit. Well, maybe the vaccines will rescue them from their stupidity. Of course, what they should have done was follow the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, but they had neither the courage nor intelligence to do so. This advice, by an international group of very eminent scientists, was to focus sharply on isolating the most vulnerable, while letting everyone else get on with life. If this had been followed there WOULD have been less deaths, their countries WOULD now be enjoying herd immunity (without any vaccination program), AND their economies would be in far better shape. Disasters happen, or are made a lot worse, when you elect cowards and fools to run the country. Italy is by no means alone in this: the UK followed the same insane policies.

  23861. When getting these threats Tammy needs to remember that most of them are from bed wetting snowflakes. These pathetic creatures are frightened of their own shadow, so the threats are as hollow as their heads. I'm so proud to be a Pure Blood, who isn't so mentally enfeebled and cowardly as to take a poorly tested vaccine that I don't need. Hold the line Canadian Truckers, because most of the world supports what you are doing.

One of the most egregious examples of two-tier policing is the fast-tracking of Starmer's "far-right thugs" into prisons bursting at the seams, while the animal that broke a policewoman's nose hasn't even been charged! There are lots more examples that we have all seen, so don't tell us that we are all wrong and just imagining it.

  23888. It would be a very different story if the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration had been followed. This is a virus that is harmless to over 99% of people, and bestows brilliant natural immunity on those who recover from it. Lockdowns and vaccination should focus purely on the most vulnerable. That's how to keep the deaths and hospitalisations down.

  23896. When are people going to realise that this government only has the power the people give it. All these places just have to refuse to enforce vaccine passports. It's that simple. If the police go all Gestapo there are now more than enough angry people to give them a bloody nose. Their riot gear won't help them if lots of people go to nightclubs with laser pointers which they can shine in the Gestapo's eyes. It's time to fight to take our freedom back!

  23898. Have we any EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE that either supports or refutes this vaccine's efficacy against the SA strain? I don't think we have. Yes, we can look at an altered spike and speculate, but have we seen any cases of people, several weeks after vaccination, being infected by this variant? There simply is not enough EVIDENCE to make ANY claims, one way or the other. Scientists and politicians should have the honesty and decency to say as much.

  23902. So the penny might finally be beginning to drop. By far the easiest, and most face saving, way out of all this for Russia is to "remove" Putin and his so-called "strong men", blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine.

  23903. That's why Russian soldiers target civilians. They get their arses kicked when they fight real soldiers.

  23904. I guess I'm an extreme right-winger then. Because when I see people quickly sent to jail for heat of the moment tweets, and the animals that broke a policewoman's nose still walking free, I'm bloody certain that we have got two-tier policing.
    1
  23905. The animal who broke a policewoman's nose should now be in jail, but he hasn't even been charged! For years young girls in Rochdale and elsewhere have been abused with impunity! Tens of thousands illegally enter the UK only to be put up in plush hotels that most of us can't afford to stay in! These, and many other such things worry the vast majority of people, not just the far-right. This is what has lead to these riots. But Starmer doesn't have the honesty and decency to acknowledge it.

  23906. Protestors need to turn up outside Dan Andrew's home with a noose.

  23907. That's because the rapid spread of this EXTREMELY MILD variant is likely to generate herd immunity, and derail the vaccine gravy train. Think how much those big pharma shares are going to rocket once the sheep start lining up for 5 boosters a year.

  23914. As I keep saying, we need to set up Nissen huts on some cold, wet, windy, remote Scottish island, and those landing here illegally should be immediately taken there. This would be a REAL deterrent, and a lot cheaper than 4 star hotels or a nice flight to sunny Rwanda.

  23916. People might be much more inclined to forgo their meat if the vegie alternatives weren't more expensive, when they should be considerably cheaper. When the food producers stop trying to rip people off then a lot more will cut down on the meat. Try appealing to the wallet rather than people's conscience, because as things stand buying that more expensive vegie product makes sensible people feel like complete schmucks.
    1
  23917. This is one of democracy's biggest failings: pandering to the irrational fear that most poorly educated people have of nuclear power. The same luddite nonsense pervades countries like the UK and Germany. Did you know that MRI scanning in hospitals should really be called NMRI scanning. It's based on nuclear magnetic resonance, which has nothing to do with radioactive decay. But in order not to terrify the great unwashed the N word was dropped.

  23920. One, or a few people being able to override court judgements, and arbitrarily lay down the law, has a name. It is called dictatorship. I hope no one is naive enough to think that these federal judges ever had the slightest intention of doing anything other than rubberstamping the minister's decision.

  23921. Isn't it strange how most people would give far higher priority to tackling shoplifting than locking up those who make heat of the moment tweets that they didn't really mean?
    1
  23922. Unfortunately, unless Labour MPs themselves take a no-confidence vote in Starmer, which seems highly unlikely, there is no democratic way of removing him for the next 5 years. And replacing him with Nightclub Rayner doesn't exactly fill one with confidence. Be careful what you vote for, because it can have very serious consequences! Let's just hope there is something left that makes it worth going out to vote next time we get the opportunity.

  23927. Lots of regions want out of the Russian Federation, and I can't understand why they aren't taking advantage of Putin's current weakness to secede from his evil empire. Don't they realise that they are letting what is probably their best opportunity at freedom just slip through their fingers.

  23928. China's economic miracle of the last few decades is mainly due to the incredible amount of trade it does with western democracies, not dictatorships or banana republics. It would be stupid beyond belief for China to jeopardise this trade.

  23936. Damn right, we're not done with the bad stuff. A great many people are still feeling the consequences of the insane lockdowns. And what's so hard to swallow about them is that several reputable studies have concluded that they were totally ineffective. But, worse still, the REAL experts, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned that this would be the case PRIOR to their implementation.

  23947. To be honest, I wish we could empty our prisons of the vilest and most vicious criminals by using them as cannon fodder. Of course, it's very bad for Ukrainians who come into contact with any who escape being slaughtered.
    1
  23948. Is it possible that the French government has secretly acknowledged what every sensible person now knows beyond all doubt, that LOCKDOWNS DON'T WORK. Now all Herr Macron needs to do is accept how brilliant NATURAL IMMUNITY is and accept that anyone who can show antibodies or memory T cells does not need these poorly tested vaccines.

  23951. It's a pity that these politicians couldn't be eradicated!
    1
  23952. Is this woman really so naive? Putin is always happy to make absolutely any deal, because his word means nothing, and he has no intention of keeping it. That's why any peace negotiations about Ukraine with him are at best pointless, and positively dangerous if Putin is taken at his word.
    1
  23953. Does anyone really care what a rather thick ex jock says?
    1
  23954. What Biden said was spot on. Putin IS a butcher, and he does need to be removed from power, as much for Russia's sake as everyone else's. One should never have to apologise for telling the truth, or retract it. And, unlike mad dog Putin, Biden hasn't tried to murder another president!
    1
  23955. Only last night a program on unpopulated Scottish islands was aired again. Surely it would be much cheaper to set up internment camps on some of these islands, and probably a lot cheaper. It would also provide badly needed local employment AND be a massive deterrent. Even human rights do-gooder lawyer Tony Blair suggested this a few years ago.

  23959. Opposite ends of the world and the same policies fail. Don't waste lots of resources and taxpayers' money watching known fundamentalist terrorists, who subsequently try to kill others and have to be shot. Just shoot them right away. This saves others getting hurt or killed, and a lot of money.

  23962. Hardly surprising as murdering women and children seems to be Russians' raison d'être.

  23966. The latest, very thorough and highly reputable, research shows that the masks worn by the vast majority of people are ABSOLUTELY USELESS at stopping the spread of Sars-cov-2. But then those of us who aren't brain-washed, bed-wetting, sheep already knew this.

  23969. ​ @ChrisPBacon-vf2dz  YouTube and Facebook also get really upset, even now, when you mention studies showing that the vast majority of masks used were completely useless. There seems to be a mainstream media conspiracy to make sure that governments are never held to account.

  23970. This minister is a complete prat. Firstly Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD. Secondly he hasn't a clue about the practicalities of setting up air purifiers so that they will work effectively. Watching these half-brained ministers is like watching Basil Fawlty on steroids.
    1
  23971. Well I was willing to at least consider what Lawrence was saying, but as soon as he said he wanted kids vaccinated I knew he was a totally evil bastard. Even the most mentally challenged should now know that this virus poses a negligible risk to kids: they are much more likely to die of flu. We also know that these vaccines are not 100% safe, and the mRNA ones use new technology, so we cannot possibly be certain that there will not be any unforeseen long term adverse effects. Sorry, but I'm appalled that anyone thinks it's OK to vaccinate kids, and young people, just for the benefit of those who are very old.
    1
  23972. What you get very much depends on how you treat your staff and what you pay them. Do you really want the kind of people that teaching now attracts teaching your kids? Particularly in STEM subjects, anyone who is half decent can do far better than become a teacher. With the odd exception this means that schools generally get the dregs at the bottom of the university barrel.

  23973. One only has to look at the non corrupt media to see that the truckers are enjoying over 90% support all over the world. Those trying to make out that support for these truckers is minimal are lying scum. To everyone who loves freedom and liberty they are heroes!

  23974. Now St Petersburg residents have the tiniest taste of what innocent Ukrainian woman and children have endured for over a year. Also, up to now those opposing the war have been afraid to speak out. Maybe the rabid animals supporting it will now also be afraid.
    1
  23975. Yes, we do need stronger and better equipped armed forces, but Putin has all he can handle in Ukraine. With its forces depleted by over half a million, billions of pounds of equipment destroyed, and a weakened economy Russia is in no position to take on anybody else. He's not sucking up to Xi and Kim Jung-Un because he likes them.
    1
  23976. There should have been bombs going off in Moscow a long time ago, so that Russians got a good taste of what their psychopathic leader is inflicting on Ukrainian civilians. I'm not suggesting killing Russian civilians, but taking out a lot of Moscow's infrastructure would make them understand that Russia cannot commit atrocities with impunity.
    1
  23977. Every day that goes by strengthens South African doctors' observation that Omicron is EXTREMELY MILD. Those who keep denying this are frightened pathological liars. People should not be satisfied with no more restrictions. They should be demanding the removal of those that were unnecessarily implemented. How quickly people forget Bogus Boris's promise that the removal of restrictions would be irrevocable.

  23978. Actually there WHERE reports about nasty side effects when using mRNA, which also stated that no one had found a way around them. These reports were published a couple of years BEFORE the Covid panic.

  23982. Patrick I'm LMAO. I know how brilliant natural immunity is, and how poorly tested these vaccines are, so I haven't succumbed to government lies and coercion. But it really is funny looking at all those schmucks who got stuck twice because they thought it would spare them anymore hassle from the Nazis in Downing Street. They have been well and truly shafted for their gullibility. Now they are being told they must get stuck yet again, and I'll bet that by summer the government will be lining them up for a 4th jab. Well, you give a tyrant an inch and he will take a mile!

  23988. If there's life after death then Dr. Mengele is smiling up on us from hell. I'll be interested to see if parents just stand by and let their kids be injected with vaccines that haven't undergone the usual minimum of 4 years SAFETY trials. The risk posed by this virus to most kids is negligible. They will get covid-19, shrug it off more easily than a bad cold, and then have excellent natural immunity that will probably last them a lifetime. If ever proof was needed that the UK is morally bankrupt, then the way we have treated our children over the last 18 months was bad enough. But forcing a poorly tested vaccine that they don't need on them is like some horror movie about medical "research" in a German or Japanese death camp.
    1
  23989. There's an old saying: "people get the government they deserve". Instead of just looking at the empty promises, that will often be reneged on, people should look at the integrity and intelligence of those they elect. Of course, to assess and value these qualities, you probably need to have them yourself.😉

  23991. So people don't want to die fighting in a country that just wants to be left alone. They don't want to die simply to boost one man's megalomaniac ego. Funny, that. Of course, as so many people flee, for fear of receiving their death warrant, many others who might not have been called upon to die for Putin will realise that the odds of them receiving their own warrant have risen substantially.

  24000. Pure, and dishonest, scaremongering! Were any of these cases showing signs of sickness? The immune system only kicks in AFTER some of the virus enters the body, but it then mops it up fairly quickly. With all this paranoid testing there is a damn good chance that what has been detected, by the very sensitive PCR test, is an extremely low viral load that was subsequently quickly eliminated. Notice how we are NOT told that any of these vaccinated people got ill: because they didn't.

My explosives book by the Royal Chemistry Society lists lots of them. We should be giving Ukraine these to pack their sea drones with. Then the ships hit will have almost no chance of surviving. In fact with the most powerful explosives properly shaped there's even a good chance that these drones could take out supports from the Kerch bridge!

  24004. Oleksiy Honcharenko is correct. Putin's pathetic nuclear threats might have the cowards wetting themselves, and as a dying man he would probably love to take as much of the world with him as he can.

  24012. Dr John did you ever think that the main reason governments have ignored all the other causes is down to who covid-19 would get in a level playing field, not heavily tilted, by lockdowns, against the poor. Many of those killers that are worse than covid-19 tend to kill vastly more poor people. They either don't happen at all to rich people or money can buy expensive medical treatment to help mitigate them a lot. In stark contrast, while covid-19 does hit the poor worse we have a much more level playing field, as proven by the fact that it almost took out that bastard Boris: and it's a shame that it didn't. So I strongly suspect that the rich and the powerful are panicking a lot more about covid because, unlike the far bigger, and largely preventable killers covid can get them. First and foremost, the covid measures are there for the benefit of the rich and powerful, because many of them, and those they care about are older. And they are very happy to sacrifice young people's futures, even though this disease hardly touches them.

We have 1000s of uninhabited offshore islands. Would it not be quick and easy, and a lot cheaper, to set up Nissen huts on some of these and detain people who have no right to be here on them? Might it also be a strong deterrent, instead of a magnet?

Maybe this is what Downing Street is so afraid of. That everybody will discover how they have lied about natural immunity, and loose their fear of this virus.

  24033. In another 6 months the government will be telling everybody that they need a 4th jab to save the summer holidays. 6 months after this it will be jab number 5 to save Christmas 2022. It's going to end up like a black comedy version of Groundhog Day until corrupt governments admit the TRUTH: 1. Covid-19 poses a very small risk to over 99% of the population. 2. NATURAL IMMUNITY is far better than vaccination, and may indeed last a lifetime. At the very start of this pandemic the REAL experts advised that lockdowns would never work, and would just cause an incredible amount of damage. They advised just isolating the most vulnerable until NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY developed. The same advice was subsequently published in the Great Barrington Declaration, which has been signed by thousands of doctors and scientists. It is still good advice! Most people don't need vaccination, let alone boosters. They need to be left alone to catch covid-19, which is less bother than a bad cold for most people, and then develop vastly superior natural immunity. Any further lockdowns (and vaccination) need to be focused purely on the vulnerable. Denying truths that you don't like doesn't change them. Repeating measures that have failed badly doesn't make them work.

And they were also completely ineffective. 2. The vast majority of masks and face coverings worn were totally useless. 3. Those who had had Covid gained excellent natural immunity, that was vastly better than any immunity given by the dodgy rushed through vaccines.

You need time (and some homework) to consolidate what you learn. In fact, trying to cram too much in each day will be counter productive! Then there's the matter of getting teachers on board. Contrary to what Williamson believes teachers often put in as much time, if not more, outside the classroom as they do in it. There is already a chronic shortage of good STEM teachers. This crap will drive the few that there are out of the classroom and discourage others from becoming teachers. Williamson has no doubt be told all this repeatedly, but like a stubborn and willful child he ignores everything he doesn't want to hear.

  24062. Nigel, for A or A* even 25% is way too high. These grades are meant to distinguish outstanding candidates. Here's Gilbert and Sullivan explaining it to the simple minded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4OwwmFj8o When I took my A-levels well over 40 years ago they actually meant something: especially the higher grades. There was none of this A* nonsense, and only between 10% and 15% were awarded a grade A. However, if you really wanted to test your mettle, and stand out from the other A grades there were the scholarship papers, that you could take at the same time. These weren't even marked unless you got a grade A or B. Last year's grade inflation really stank, but this year is like having your head pushed deep into a cesspit. Kids deserve to be offed a challenge and the chance to distinguish themselves. This has been stolen from them.

This advice was later published in the Great Barrington Declaration. What was advised was to only isolate the most vulnerable, until natural herd immunity developed. From the FACTS that covid-19 poses no threat to over 99%, and that natural immunity after infection is absolutely brilliant, this advice was spot on. Boris ignored this advice and wrecked our economy, and young people's education and mental health, for NOTHING. In the last couple of days this imbecile has also indicated that he would be prepared to lockdown again!

Rather than placate this insane lunatic the right strategy is to push him into a corner that forces his removal. This is also the easy and face-saving way out for Russia. Remove the maniacs, blame everything on them, and withdraw from Ukraine.

Also, if they kick off then there's a reasonable chance that the people of Georgia will remove Putin's puppet government and take back the 20% of their stolen country. The best way to deal with bully is to attack him simultaneously from several directions.

  24120. So many of us said this BEFORE millions of fools elected him!

  24121. Why do the British have such a fetish about uniforms? I've taught in some good international schools that manage very well without them, and would put most British schools to shame. How is it that so many countries can manage to successfully educate their kids without forcing them to dress in a specific manner, and wasting their parents' money? It's way past time to end this fetish.
    1
  24122. ​ @frankspeakmore7104  I'm sick of hearing this crap argument. Who says you have to wear a different outfit everyday? Jeans and a few t-shirts, or sweatshirts are all most of us, kids or adults, need. Kids in most countries do great without uniform.

  24123. If the worlds governments had prevented the raising of a massive bounty on Putin then he might already be dead.
    1
  24124. I've just made a similar comment. If they put their country, rather than themselves, first then they would have defected to either Reform UK or the LibDems.
    1
  24125. For well over a year people like me have warned that something like this was coming. Like a typical lawyer, Starmer is trying to deflect from the true cause of this by blaming everything on "far-right thugs". This has kicked off because for years our governments have ignored the concerns, of the vast majority, over illegal migration and militant Islamists.
    1
  24126. TTK didn't mention illegal migrants because he hasn't the slightest intention of doing anything to protect our borders!

  24127. Ever seen a book that's around 2000 years old, and which parts of probably date as far back again? It makes it very clear that this land belongs to the Jewish people. Of course anti-Semites like you want to do what Hitler failed to.

  24128. All the civilized world thanks the US for the great service it has just done it.
    1
  24129. When are the politicians who are selling us down the river going to accept that certain groups of people have no place in civilized Western countries? Did it never occur to them that the main reason the countries they come from are so unpleasant is precisely because of the mentality of these people, who have contempt for our values?
    1
  24130. I wish people would stop saying "unable". Unwilling is the true state of affairs. Those boats could be stopped tomorrow if the government really wanted to. But to be fair, the same could be said for the previous government too.

  24132. I'm seldom in agreement with Macron, but on this he was absolutely right. This sends a strong message to the Russian people that their maniac of a leader will not be allowed his victory in Ukraine. Sunak and Scholz are both abject cowards, and should simply have kept their mouths shut if they didn't agree with Macron. But instead they decided to give succor to Putin.

  24133. At the very least Labour must get rid of Scumbag Starmer as leader!

  24134. Grow a pair and man up! In the UK we record about 40 times as many cases daily, without going all Chicken Little. This a virus that kills well under 1%. Most of the infections will be easily shrugged off, and those people will then have excellent natural immunity.
    1
  24135. Actually there were some very clever people, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta. But their advice against lockdowns was ignored! So was the evidence that most masks didn't work and that natural immunity was brilliant.

  24136. See my comment about the statistics when age is taken into account: unless a government stooge or snowflake has had it removed, in which case I'll reenter it.
    1
  24137. One of the major reasons the UK economy is going down the tubes is benefit fraud on a truly mind boggling scale. 9.4 million people of working age aren't in work. This is 25% of the working population. Even 5% being unable to work would seriously strain credulity, and the true figure is likely to be much closer to 2.5%. Tackling this fraud would save the British taxpayer tens of billions of pounds a year!
    1
  24138. Telling the TRUTH is not being a lunatic. Wrecking the economy for a virus with an IFR of 0.3% or less, that mainly kills the very old and/or very sick is.

  24143. Lockdowns and restrictions crucified the working class. If Labour had given a damn about them it would have opposed government measures.
    1
  24144. I'm not a great fan of Boris, but Rich Boy Sunak would be far worse. Let's see. Boris has a well deserved reputation for being fiercely loyal to those working for him, whereas Sunak is a fully paid up back-stabber. And we should definitely not forget how he cheated millions of poor OAPs out of their inflationary pension rise, at a time when they have never needed it more.
    1
  24145. "decision to close borders not been made" Sounds like Putin telling the world that he wasn't going to invade Ukraine, as he built up his forces on its border. Anyone of fighting age who doesn't want a Darwin Award should already be on their way out of the Russia, with a good pair of hiking boots and warm clothes, in case they need to bypass border controls.

  24146. What I will never understand is why people who know, without a shadow of a doubt, that they will be brutalised and arrested for protesting don't come along to demonstrations armed and prepared to defend themselves.

  24147. Labour will welcome those rapists into the UK and give them asylum.

  24148. All the yellow bellied white feather brigade like to forget the consequences of appeasing Hitler in Munich 1938. Putin is as mad and bad as Hitler, and maybe worse!
    1
  24149. If Labour was serious about rooting out anti-Semitism this MP would have been booted out. So would the one who has just said that the Israeli government let Hamas carry out their atrocities. I gather Labour has said that they are "standing by him". But then, if every anti-Semitic Labour MP was booted out there probably wouldn't be that many left!
    1
  24150. While Witless Whitty certainly has a lot to answer for, so do all the bed wetting schmucks who swallowed all the scaremongering and surrendered their freedom and liberty without the slightest dissention. No wonder, looking at the West over the past two years, Putin decided to test our resolve.
    1
  24151. One of the reasons we're not ready is a feckless and unfit generation Z. Both they and the country would benefit massively from bringing back National Service.

  24153. If Putin really is as ill as some speculate then a reasonable supposition is that this insane psychopath, like Ramesses II, wants to carve himself out as big a page in history as he can.
    1
  24154. On average there are around 1800 daily deaths in the UK. This kind of puts that 147 into perspective. And let's not forget that these so-called covid-19 deaths are really just people who happen to have died within 28 days of a positive PCR test. In a court this kind of circumstantial "evidence" would be thrown out by any judge, once he had recovered from his laughing fit.
    1
  24155. To see how bad AI can be just look at YouTube's bots. Every single day the site is flooded with virtually the same kind of sexual posts that get left (no matter how often they are reported), whereas countless posts that most of us would agree with are haphazardly deleted or hidden.
    1
  24156. Only the UK knows how to make such a stupid fuss and screw up over a few nut jobs. Why aren't the police and idiot politicians listening to what most are saying. Just open the bridge and leave these cranks up there. They will come down soon enough, and if they fall most of us will cheer.

  24158. Those Turks who voted for Erdogan are like the Germans who voted for Hitler. And as we all know, with the opposition not given access to the media, while Erdogan got tons of it, this is not what most of us would regard as a proper democratic process.

  24159. There are relatively few white male dentists in the UK. This has absolutely nothing to do with racism against white men. It's down to lazy white boys who don't want to put in the hard graft. There are many professions where an imbalance in numbers has absolutely nothing to do with racism or sexism.

  24160. What we now need is African countries and the Asian sub-continent to do the decent thing and also ban Russian so that we almost put a complete ring around the country.

  24161. Malaria poses a far more serious threat than Covid ever did. But look how much care over SAFETY has been taken before this vaccine was rolled out.
    1
  24162. This just shows how successful the government's scaremongering propaganda has been. I've got my little yellow booklet that's full of vaccines stamps for those I actively sought out and paid for, and I will have more in the future. But even at 63 I don't feel worried enough to bother getting a covid-19 vaccine. When you are highly numerate and scientifically very literate I guess it's a lot harder for the morons in Downing Street to lie to you.
    1
  24163. I can't argue with anything you say, but I think young people, indeed all of us, have one really sound reason to be pessimistic about the future. The vast majority of politicians are lying, cheating scumbags whose promises and fine words count for nothing. They look only to the short term, in the comfortable certainty that they will be dead and buried when the shit really hits the fan. And if you want to get really depressed just look at Australia, where most of the country has convinced itself that climate change is an illusion, so that they can continue exporting and burning as much coal as they can mine.

  24164. Quite a few months ago Harvard University did a large study on masks in Bangladesh. Their findings were very clear. Surgical masks are effective, but the kind of masks worn by most people are as much use as a condom with a hole in it. Time and time again we have a government that claims to listen to the science, but completely ignores it when its findings go against their preconceived notions. Our kids are being abused for NOTHING!
    1
  24165. In the same period about 11 times as many people have died from other causes, many of which are preventable, and in fact the global population has continued to grow. You've got to be incredibly stupid to let this scare you.

  24169. Russia bad needs someone not close to Putin, not one of his rent boys.
    1
  24170. It will be a short lived exile. Putin used polonium and nerve agents on people in London who caused him far less grief. If Prigozhin was a bit brighter he would have realised that once he started it was win or die. Who knows how many might have gone over to his side if he hadn't bottled it. To paraphrase a famous TV series: "you win the game of tsars or die".
    1
  24171. I'm a strong supporter of Israel, but would anyone want to claim responsibility for this pathetic strike, which was more like a slap with a feather?
    1
  24172. Is it just a few bad apples? Look at the massive police presence at so many demos. Instead of tackling REAL crime massive numbers of police turned out to prevent people exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. Decent policemen and policewoman should have called in sick, rather than oppress such demonstrations, but too many seemed to relish acting like the Gestapo. People won't forget, or forgive, this!
    1
  24173. Religion is only a small part of it. When I was growing up being honest and hardworking were seen as very important aspects of ones character, along with that British stiff upper lip, which meant that when the going got tough you gritted your teeth and got on with it. Being labelled as mentally ill or unemployed were causes for deep shame. Today lying and cheating, it you can get away with it, seem to be admired, with a TV show even celebrating such behaviour. And millions think it's very clever to avoid work by claiming mental illness.
    1
  24174. Part of Putin's strategy was that if the war in Ukraine drags on then an incoming Republican president would withdraw American support. Well done Mr. Pence. Your visit and promises couldn't have come at a worse time for Putin.
    1
  24175. Psycho Putin has already killed far more Russians than died in the Soviet Afghanistan campaign, which Russia lost, so Putin winning a drawn out campaign in Ukraine seems unlikely.
    1
  24176. Or just arrange an "accident" for Erdogan, which would in fact be doing Turkey a massive favour.
    1
  24177. What so many of us fear is that Putin only wants peace long enough to rearm and rebuild his army. If we let Trump give him this it's not going to be the US that pays a very heavy price!
    1
  24178. And you know that those buildings in Auschwitz were just shower blocks.
    1
  24179. Let's tell it as it is. The risk of covid-19 to almost all young people is damn near zero. Likewise the risk to the vast majority of teachers and lecturers is absolutely miniscule. What's also true is that a colossal amount of damage has already been done both to young people's education and their mental health. Schools and universities should have carried on as normal throughout this pandemic. Interfering with them was/is totally unconscionable. This is a virus with an IFR of only 0.3%, just 3 times as bad as flu. It only kills about 1 in 1000 who are typically very old and/or very sick. The other 999 in 1000 have had their lives turned upside down for a relatively tiny minority. How can this in anyway be justified? IT CAN'T!!!

  24180. I've never been to the Notting Hill Carnival, but I appreciate how many people really enjoy it. When criminals try to ruin such events for others the penalties the courts impose on them should be significantly increased!

  24188. This is like cursing a field of fertile soil because the retards didn't plant it properly. You need to employ competent engineers to do the work, rather than relying on scumbag companies whose main expertise is screwing the customer to make a quick buck. Also, you need to look at fast breeder reactors and Thorium reactors, so that you end up with much less waste, and use resources much more efficiently. Properly used, nuclear power could usher in a golden age. It's stupid, greedy people that bugger up a wonderful opportunity.

  24189. With just a little will it would be easy to pacify Iran, once and for all. Xi could probably be bought off by allowing him to retake Manchuria from Russia, in exchange for leaving Taiwan alone.

  24194. Aren't people just a little fed up with this baseless panicking? These nasty, frightened little boys in Downing Street are infringing people's rights, and making their lives a misery "just in case" there's a big bad variant hiding in the bushes. The FACT is that after 18 months we haven't got strong scientific or statistical evidence to support any variant being significantly more infectious or deadly. All we have is ministers gibbering like frightened children over the very remote possibility that variants are suddenly going to start behaving totally differently than they have in the last 18 months. Is this a valid excuse for messing with people's lives?

  24200. There are so many doctors that are saying exactly the same thing. These people are NOT anti-vaccination. They, like millions of others have made very informed medical decisions not to have these poorly tested vaccines. Those still thinking of getting vaccinated need to ask themselves why so many medical professionals don't want these vaccines.

  24201. These aren't clashes because they are one sided. The protestors go out and bleat like sheep, and the security forces slaughter them like sheep. Nothing will change until these people start actually FIGHTING for their freedom!

  24202. What did those of us who aren't stupid enough to believe or trust this government say, as soon as the roadmap was revealed. Expect them to find some flimsy excuse to push the dates back. Well it looks like here it comes. The fact that so many more than the GENUINELY vulnerable have now been vaccinated means that a slowdown in vaccinating the rest just won't wash with anyone who isn't seriously mentally challenged or a complete snowflake. End the panic! End the dictatorship!

  24203. Expecting Boris to do the decent thing and resign would be like some expecting Hitler to get circumcised and give up pork.

  24209. Most democracies need policies for being able to very quickly remove a party from power if it is proven that they gain election by lying. Also, there ought to be certain keystone policies that a party is obliged to deliver with a certain stated time, or else be removed from power. However, trying to force politicians to be honest is like trying to get a great white shark to eat plankton.

  24217. People who get Omicron have a moral duty to go out and spread it as much as they possibly can. This variant hasn't killed a single person. Even those turning up with it in hospital are either there for something else, or are whinging hypochondriacs. This variant offers our best hope of quickly and SAFELY establishing NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY, which will put an end to this: and the vaccine gravy train.
    1
  24218. f**ked up TWICE: 1. In having insanely damaging lockdowns which were unnecessary and ineffective. 2. In vaccinating most people, when the vast majority were at very low risk, and a great many had excellent natural immunity.

  24219. You know what would be incredibly humiliating for Putin? Some good effective attacks on Moscow's power, water and transport infrastructure.

  24220. When Putin's freshly called up Orcs trespass into Ukraine let's make sure that Ukrainians have all the weapons they need to give them a very warm welcome!
    1
  24221. There are quite a few regions that really want to secede from Putin's evil Russian Federation. Moscow is very much like the Capitol in the Hunger Games. So making Moscow look weak and vulnerable might just pay big dividends. In fact, this is one of Putin's biggest fears.
    1
  24222. This has been the Russian way since at least WW II when 22,000 defenseless Polish officers were cold-bloodedly butchered in Katyn. As more towns and cities are taken we can expect to uncover many more such atrocities.
    1
  24223. Looks like these interviews turned up several decent Russians, who weren't afraid to speak up. Sadly, I expect Putin's FSB goons will very soon be knocking on their doors in the middle of the night.

  24224. Pack some drones full of high explosives. When Putin's flying Orcs come too close to them detonate!
    1
  24225. You want the basic maths? Covid posed a serious threat to under 1% of the population. Covid posed virtually no threat to almost everyone of working or school age. Shutting down the economy was insanely expensive. So having lockdowns was an act of utter madness!

    1
  24229. It's like the Hunger Games. If you don't come from Moscow or St. Petersburg then your life means nothing to the Kremlin. The big surprise is that they are spending money on zinc rather than plastic body bags.
    1
  24230. When most of the relatively few vulnerable have been vaccinated whether we have herd immunity or not doesn't matter that much. It doesn't matter in the least how many others who aren't going to end up in hospital get infected. Yes, there will be a few with compromised immune systems, but why should society be turned upside down just for them? Those few thousand can isolate a lot more carefully until herd immunity develops, rather than making the whole country suffer for them. If they don't like it then they can bloody well die.
    1
  24231. I'm sure as the plane went down that Prigozhin knew: "It's not personal, it's strictly business". But that's what godfathers do to each other, and he would probably have liked to whack Putin first.
    1
  24232. So the following three qualify as disinformation, regardless of the reliability of the source, or how good the science is: 1. Studies showing that lockdowns were totally ineffective. 2. Studies showing most masks were totally ineffective. 3. Studies showing that, after contracting Covid-19, natural immunity is vastly better than the rushed through Covid vaccines.
    1
  24233. @jane That's why you punish them in exactly the same way whether they do it abroad or in the UK. By the way, if it were up to me, the father of any girl subjected to FGM would get the whole lot chopped off!

  24234. Pensioners are an easy target. Most people don't stop to consider that eventually they will be pensioners. There's also a lot of resentment among younger people towards pensioners who own their own homes, and are only too happy to believe that pensioners have "never had it so good". But the truth is that among the developed countries the UK is one of the meanest towards its pensioners!

  24238. There's a serious misconception most people have in equating great wealth with intelligence. Americans would do well to remember that Trump has several bankruptcies to his name.
    1
  24239. Of course these Gestapo pigs banned this. They don't want people seeing them teargassing, pepper spraying, and shooting rubber bullets at defenseless peaceful protestors. Or maybe they were afraid that those big tough contractors would give them a damn good hiding, and they didn't want people seeing that they weren't so brave when it isn't little old ladies they are up against.

  24240. When the Ukrainian offensive kicks off Belarusians need to be at home so that they can take out Putin's puppet. The same goes for the people of Georgia, who additionally need to take back the 20% of their country that was stolen.
    1
  24241. At least Sky Australia reports this. As far as the rest of mainstream media is concerned these demos aren't happening.
    1
  24242. Putin's pathetic comment about "historic Russia" made his plans very clear, even for the intensely stupid who didn't already realise what they were. Putin wants to rule ALL the Baltic states. If Ukraine falls he WILL turn his attention to the rest of them.

  24243. Now would be the best moment ever for Georgia to take back the 20% of its territory that Putin stole. And there are probably also other regions with grudges to settle. Putin currently doesn't have the capacity to respond to these actions. A few bold moves right now would likely put an end to both Putin and his evil empire.

  24244. Fat Lukashenko knows that the ONLY thing keeping him in power is his own army and Russian troops: and even a lot of his own army doesn't support him. As soon as these troops go off to Ukraine it's going to be pig barbecue time. There are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Belarusians just waiting for the opportunity to take him out and lynch him.

  24245. Given the very small size of the drones, and their minute explosive payload, it's a near certainty that they were launched within Moscow itself, or very close to the city. So it's reasonably likely that might even have been launched by Putin's own FSB goons, in order to frighten Russians into supporting him more.

  24246. ​ @axm-04  Yes I should have done a quick back of the envelope calculation before posting. I was thinking too much about the rotational speed at the earth's surface. I checked the m.sanders7934 post which said 10 mph, and it is correct. So other than topography the latitude of a landing shouldn't make much difference.

  24247. Trump is doing exactly what he did with Ukraine. Spouting a few tough words, but constantly extending deadlines, with no intention of doing anything. I'd sooner rely on suffering sunstroke in an Antarctic winter than tryst Trump.

  24250. Dr. Ros is saying exactly what so many Doctors are only saying privately, because they want to keep their jobs. I am horrified that society is so cowardly and selfish as to put children at risk by giving them relatively untested vaccines that they clearly don't need. Even worse are the evil parents who seem keen to get their kids jabbed. One can only hope that the BBC chose the rare parent that said yes, in order to push their paymaster's propaganda. This virus has always posed a negligible threat to our young people, and a really small one to most of their teachers and lecturers. Schools and universities should have carried on as normal throughout, and exams should never have been cancelled. Oh, and once our Dr. Mengele's have finished with 12 year-olds they will definitely go after younger kids.

  24252. A judge who was a decent human being would recognise that so many of these posts are made in the heat of the moment and not really meant. A courageous judge would do what's right rather than pass sentences just to please a tyrannical government. Our courts are becoming like those in Russia.

  24255. Most will never receive funerals with their relatives, because that would let the Russian people know how many deaths Putin is responsible for.

  24256. Despite the angry protests of the Putin fanboys, it does appear to be the case that Ukrainian forces are well entrenched on the outskirts of Bakhmut, keeping the Orcs pinned down and still bleeding them well.

  24257. And with the megalomania have come lies and censorship. Just a few days ago, in the US, the CDC released a paper on natural immunity. It found exactly what the Israeli and Cleveland studies found many months ago: 1. Natural immunity is vastly better than vaccination. 2. Vaccinating those with natural immunity confers NO BENEFIT 3. Natural immunity is long lasting. Yet the government is still hell bent on vaccinating such people, and sacking them if they are in the NHS. And our so-called independent media has not reported on this study, despite it being of immense relevance to most people. Then we have the reputed 150,000 covid-19 deaths in the UK. Yet a request, under the freedom of information law, to the ONS revealed that the number of people without any underlying health problems who dies is only 17,500. But what's most disturbing of all is that most people would rather continue to believe the lies than admit that they have been completely suckered.

  24262. "There's nothing I want to do more than reopen schools" "I'm listening to the science" This is why we say: "you can tell when a politician is lying, because their lips move". From very early on in this pandemic scientists have been repeating the following findings: 1. The risk to children is negligible. 2. The risk to most of their teachers is extremely small. 3. There is little evidence that schools have a significant effect on the number of infections. This science that the PM is supposed to be listening to has been repeated many times. If this PM really was listening to the science, and if he gave a toss about our kids then schools would have reopened way back in April or May, and STAYED OPEN. Also, last years, and this years, GCSEs and A-levels would never have been cancelled. This sad excuse for a man lies so often, and breaks his promises so often that he probably no longer understands what it means to tell the truth and keep ones word.

  24275. This is such complete bollocks. There is NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that this variant, or any other for that matter, is substantially more infectious or deadly, or resistant to vaccines. This is just pathetic scaremongering. Are people really so incredibly stupid not to see that the Indian government is desperately looking for something that will excuse what's happening in their country, and shift the blame from them. There is NO INDIAN VARIANT OF CONCERN, just a desperate India government clutching at straws as they drown in their populations' anger. But all the Downing Street morons, with their classics and PPE degrees, are now singing from the same hymn book.

  24277. Boris's mistake isn't his delay in going into a further lockdown, it's doing it at all! All this will do is kick the covid can a bit further down the street, so a few lives, of mainly VERY OLD and/or VERY SICK people will be extended by a few weeks, but at colossal cost to the vast majority. We have to follow Sweden's approach. Why aren't people asking why we don't see any stories featuring distraught Swedes complaining about their government's response? You can be bloody sure the BBC would jump all over such a story. But we don't see one because SWEDEN'S APPROACH WORKS!

From being that laughing stock of the world, for their OTT reaction to covid-19, the Australian people are quickly becoming the most despised in the world. Mind you most MSM is now so untrustworthy that it is possible that reports of most Australians not supporting Novak are lies put out to please the government despots.

  24284. Cressida Dick is far more interested in serving herself than the public! She should have reasoned that with 24 million of the most vulnerable vaccinated, and infections in London not that high, that this vigil represented NEGLIGIBLE RISK to public health. Taking the nature of this vigil into account she should then have left this vigil well alone. But the real truth is that Dick is a self-serving coward who really isn't particularly bright!

  24285. In the UK way give hundreds of millions of pounds in foreign aid to India every year, while our old people freeze, and the NHS is on its knees. India is now a wealthy country that can well afford to look after its own poor, but it doesn't give a toss about them.

  24286. The thing is that while Georgia has Moscow's puppet government, that doesn't represent its people, it isn't truly independent. Georgians need to realise just how weak Putin now is, so that they can remove his puppets, for a government that truly represents their interests, and take back the 20% of their country that Putin stole.

  24290. If the complete morons that people elect had followed the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration we wouldn't be in this mess! Instead of f**king up everybody's life there should have been a sharp focus on just isolating the relatively few most vulnerable. We would then have had far fewer hospitalisations and deaths. Also, people would still have their jobs, education, and mental health intact. And, in all likelihood we would now be enjoying herd immunity.

  24294. Maybe they get the constant battering because it's constantly merited! To give but a tiny sampling: 1. The Nazi storm trooper treatment of women holding a peaceful vigil for another woman raped and murdered by one of their own. 2. Turning a blind eye to the blatant anti-Semitism on recent marches. 3. Arresting someone for holding up a sign saying EXACTLY what the government says: that Hamas are terrorists. 4. Turning a blind eye to the horrific sexual abuse of young girls in places like Rochdale.

  24295. ​ David Ward  While there might be the very rare exception, children are far better off at school. They have much better opportunity to make friends and enjoy learning how to interact with other people of different backgrounds. Older children also (should) have a trained specialist teacher in each subject, something there parents can't possibly give them. In general home schooling is very, very bad for kids!

  24296. The best way to appeal to most people is to promise to deport all illegals on being elected, also all foreign criminals, and to end to two-tier legal system. Oh, and to sack all judges that try to get in the way of the will of the British people.

  24309. Mark, for the vast majority covid-19 isn't even particularly nasty, and is less bother than a bad cold. We know, with very high probability who is at risk. So, no most of us don't even need to respect this virus, and certainly don't need to be vaccinated. Of course the cowering cowards will be deeply offended by what I've just said.😊

  24323. So if someone not wearing a mask says they are exempt what happens? Do police demand to be informed of private medical history, which they are not allowed to do. Even if they are given that history, they are not doctors, so how can they judge whether that person is entitled to an exemption. Or have we just got to the stage where police say "what the hell" and gratuitously hand out fines whether people deserve them or not? As many others have pointed out, do most people want to see those who have been raped and assaulted waiting in vain for the police because they are too busy checking if people are wearing masks?

  24331. So Biden thinks its OK for Putin to level Ukrainian cities, but Ukraine destroying the infrastructure, just a few miles across the border, that is enabling a lot of this genocide is not. But at least those US weapons will reach Ukraine well before anything that the Germans promised way back!

  24332. Completely predictable. The Taliban, ISIS and other rabid animal fundamentalists are like a malignant cancer. You need to eradicate it completely to stop it coming back. Failing that, you have to constantly treat it to keep it in check. And, bleeding heart liberals please note, the only effective deradicalization program is a bullet through the head!

  24334. In this instance I find myself in agreement with Calvin. During the Covid-19 panic the views of the REALexperts were ignored or even heavily censored. Instead of listening to the likes of Oxford University's Sunetra Gupta, vast amounts of prime time were given to charlatans like Witless Whitty. Instead of embracing the research showing that those who had had covid-19 gained excellent, and long lasting, natural immunity, the results of such research was vigorously suppressed in favour of giving millions of people poorly tested vaccines that they didn't need. As for the LGBT brigade its now THEM who need to adopt a live and let live policy. Few of us want to persecute them for what we see as sickening perversions, but we certainly don't want to have them foisted on us.

  24343. Two reasons for this. Firstly we have governments that are now addicted to having almost absolute power, and who, like any addict, won't willingly give up their fix. Secondly, just walk down the high street, or into any supermarket, and see all those mask w@nkers. There are many millions of bed wetting cowards, in the UK alone, who would like to see lockdowns and masks kept forever, and the non-vaccinated sent to concentration camps.

  24345. If this enquiry wasn't a whitewash it would be asking why there were lockdowns at all, rather than why they didn't come sooner. Before they started the REAL EXPERTS, like Oxford University's Professor Sunetra Gupta, warned that they wouldn't work. And recent reputable studies have concluded that they were completely ineffective. Think how many lives might have been saved if that effort had gone into isolating the relatively small number of most vulnerable instead.
