Peter Hitchens is a hero of our times
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
George Orwell.
"The current system of transnational state capitalism, without rival since the collapse of the soviet bureaucratic class system, is a direct outgrowth of the seizure of power "four hundred years" ago. Orwell had it backwards. The past is a "boot smashing a human face." Whether the future is more of the same depends on what we do now."
Kevin Carson
only when the boot is on the back of your head will you understand where trusting the gov. gets you.

I am afraid that people will just pretend everything is ok.
Very worried about the police state that we have allowed. Being told when i can go out, where i can go and not being allowed to mix with the people i want to mix with is more scary than the virus!!
Are the Police immune to the alleged illness
Not seen them wearing masks , going into peoples houses ,arresting people with no ppe walking down the road next to each other
sharing cars
They know the truth...
@@Stephie_L Am not sure the police know what the TRUTH IS !!! But am starting to think you may be right ,but here is honesty , Am to much of a wimp to Risk going out myself ..as you can never really tell with the power mad powerful ..
Why would we grant the governement anything we already have? Government is born out of unnecesary delegation to the enemies. I celebrate the philosophies that limit it, but it doesn't address the real problem. I respect Peter very much. In a time when everybody is showing their true colors, he is staying consitent.
I've disagreed with him on many things but he's always had a reasonable argument. Strange that it's not being heard.
What do you mean by “Government is born out of unnecesary delegation to the enemies.”
B.Gates bought unprecedented influence in the >>WHO with huge donations, becoming both spokesperson and adviser on pandemics/vaccinations [having NO medical background]. He suddenly runs the show, instructing governments to go into lockdown/economic meltdown...then he unveils his pet-project ID2020 mass-microchipping with IMMUNITY PASSPORTS and vaccinations - to be produced in HIS pharma-Labs. Now we're being told that our ONLY way out of imminent economic recession and lockdown, is to have IMMUNITY PASSPORTS and vaccinations [how convenient]. Oddly, also in 2020 >> G5 is activated, a tech-grid that uses facial-recognition cameras and digital-tracking, currently used in Ch-i-na as a big-brother police-state surveillance-system to track/monitor the population - again, by bizarre coincidence, G5 can digitally track those human-guinea-pigs injected with Gates bio-chip and vaccinations. Gates and the Elites are herding us into a prison society.

Special hazards call for special measures. You wouldn't mind someone approaching your water reservoir with a vial of Ebola? This is an extreme example to make the point, but the punishments would also be commensurate with the hazard. Mind you though, the rules in Australian don't always make sense.

Two thumbs up for Peter Hitchens from Newfoundland!
Yes B'y!
Love these proper discussions and comments with thoughtful input.
I recently read Roger Scruton on this subject, in his book 'How to be a Conservative'. Characteristically wise and lucid - I recommend it highly.
I'm a traditional left-leaning voter, and don't plan changing, but Peter Hitchens is well worth listening to, I think.
It’s a great comfort to know I’m not alone in thinking the lockdown across the world is and will be a calamity. Ultimately individuals have responsibility for their own health, not the government. I wonder what proportion of the population disagrees with these measures 🧐
you are not alone. We should be responsible for our own health. I find the whole thing really disturbing. Could we have imagined 3 months ago that more than 3 billion people would be under house arrest, we would have laughed it off as a joke and now it is here, unfolding under our very eyes.
Thank you John great show
My Son has started watching the news recently, the change in him is astounding, when he started to adore Corbyn i couldn't believe it
It’s cultish
Have a debate with him, it’ll help both of you form and strengthen your views. Doesn’t matter wether he politically disagrees with you as long as he can argue his point well and has moral reasons for holding his beliefs.
@Magister Ludi idon't talk about it at all, he started to, i hate it
Tom Alexander you shouldn’t hate it, it should be great, it shows he’s developing and it should be a great opportunity to help him get better at debating and reasoning. I sincerely hope your son isn’t frustrating you in a political debate, if so I think you’re probably the problem.
@@Berzerk-cr2cy annoying me, i hate politics
Keep up with the good work Peter. Many that watch are quiet but they do agree with you. Luckily we have the net, that is all we have as a forum to support views of the good thinkers. The future path is full of danger, many young people have been brainwashed at the LW universities. Tony Bliar knew full well what he was doing when he pushed educate educate educate and then drop the standards and create stupid universities courses. The battle is on.
Thank You - Well Done !!!

Rights do not come from government, rights come from the fact that we are human.
I remember a short street interview with a young black chap a few weeks ago, confronted by an indignant sounding reporter from I think Sky News.
She asked him in an accusing fashion something like, " aren't you ashamed that you may be putting others at risk by walking the streets?"
He laughingly replied, "no, if they are worried about getting the virus they should stay at home."
I thought at the time, what an eminently sensible, logical and rational thing to say. However Sky News obviously showed the interview as an example of some kind of thuggish and uncaring behavior.
It seems that many black people have a better idea of what being British means then white TV reporters.
I still fail to see what the actual purpose of restricting people from going about their daily business by statute. Surely we can all assess our own risks, and stay at home if we wish to do so. Many people would choose to do this, especially those who may believe they are more at risk. Others may choose to socially distance themselves when they can, and take the risk when they can't. Others may just choose to cohort with whoever wishes to cohort with them. Indeed I have little doubt that this is happening anyway but perhaps more secretly. After all as William Shakespeare would testify, you can't keep young lovers apart, not for long anyway.
Virtually everything worth travelling too is already closed down, as well as most factories, and shops, therefore is confining people to their own homes even necessary? Could doing so even be counter-productive?
It's all part of the experiment.How much stress can people take before they break. The sponsors of this travesty are purely evil.
@@thewomble1509 Part of it, I am sure. However it is also a test of how people react when the entire world's economy experiences a crash that will make that of 1929 look like a minor market adjustment. How the masses react to having no job or prospect of ever having one ever again. How people react when they finally wake up to a dystopian future of what is perhaps best described as Satanic Rule of the their entire Planet.
A technocratic authoritarian corporatist control of their entire lives, from birth to cruelly premature death. A cross between 1984 and Brave New World with any humour or hope removed. A World were the systematic murder of up to 80% of the population can finally get into full gear, while the details of which will be enabled to be kept completed away from the view of the people, as international travel for any purpose business or tourism, will become strictly limited to the Authorised.
Whether this is just part 1 of the plan or the proverbial it, remains to be seen. However our elected/selected governments are clearly not running anything appreciably more important then their own mouths and bathwater.
Big Brother under the disguise of the United Nations has long since seen dictating to the World, both left and right capitalist and communist, west and east, since well before either you or me were born.
However never give up. This could be just a panic measure as our owners seem to have been losing control of the minds of the people. It is not over until the Fat Lady sings. She is not singing yet, and this moment was always going to arrive at some time. This is a battle for our minds, a battle that our owners may actually be losing, and they may even know it to be so.
@@garypowell1540 Some excellent points in that summation ,Gary and very well put.
As an aside, can you or anyone else tell me why we now are seeing TV ads for "NHS charities"?Is not the NHS a Gov't /taxpayer funded entity? Very strange and possibly prescient?
@@thewomble1509 You may find that this is simply because you have started watching daytime TV for the first time in a long time. Actually these kinds of ads have been around for a few years. My opinion of the NHS as an entity, although my own NHS GP is a constant source of useful information and an all round good guy, is not high to say the least. My opinion of all charities which advertise on the TV, could not be lower. To me the common tapeworm deserves more respect, and certainly is more deserving of the public's money.
Communism is infamous for getting their unwitting people to pay homage to the very thing, or person which was busy murdering them. For example Stalin and the Soviet Communist Party. Strangely enough at 8pm in the evening.
I used to be a major fund raiser for the NSPCC, and others, therefore I know much about how charities function, Which is why ours only operated under very strict rules and conditions. No expenses whatsoever, no contribution from the government, no company logos, personal recognition in strict alphabetical order, everything done, and donated on a voluntary and completely unpaid basis, and every single penny raised went to the charity. In almost all cases we bought, at maximum discount, a particular thing for the recipient, so that not even they could get their hands on any cash. The venue did get paid, but only on the condition that they did not advertise the event, and a very generous discount was given. Our people paid for EVERYTHING including the prizes, venue, wine and 5 course meals. This is how REAL charity is done. Suffice to say, our events raised around 10 times more than anything Branson ever apparently put together.
Someone pays for TV advertising one way or another, even if the cost is more corporatist brainwashing from the MSM. In the main, the recipient of any charity you are likely to be aware of, receives around 5% of the money raised, and in some cases none at all. To be fair this is often in the form of wages for the so called charity worker, although what good the middle class student does during his or her gap year is debatable. It is reported that the only things many of them give to the locals is a pregnancy and perhaps a disease or two. However I digress.
But worse then that, many so called charities do more harm than good, in some cases no good at all, but an incredible amount of very bad indeed.
@@garypowell1540 I have no doubt about the mass manipulation aspect of the current situation Gary, nor am i naive to the corporate structure of most modern "charitable" organisations. Imo ,a society and state as wealthy as ours should have no need for charities, especially ones sponsored by a certain family of Saxe-Coburg descent....
I am alarmed and intrigued by your claim that Stalin had an 8PM time slot for homage to the Party and your suggestion that our beloved NHS is actually killing us. All very 1984, which is obviously no coincidence . For my own research , could you give me a source for these points?

In Canada the tax herd has a Charter of Rights......it has about as much power to protect the people as toilet paper. Rights are natural. Must be defended. Tyranny is afoot.
It has just been announced that gym bosses are being faced with eviction because they are unable to pay the rent. So much for "we are all in this together", these landlords should be named and shamed.
I think we have to distinguish between the handful of negative and basic rights which are founded upon Natural (or God given) Law and the plethora of perpetually increasing and expanding positive privileges masquerading as Rights.

Ask Julian Assange about the realities of freedom, I think at best you can say the illusion has been discarded, for the moment. Conversley at the same time those that weild power have become very sensitive to how much they need consent. The net result might actually be positive in the long run.
A bit more specific. Liberties are protections against government action. E.g „government cannot interfere in an individual’s freedom of worship „. The freedom of religion or speech. Rights in particular civil rights are associated with the protection of minority groups from discrimination and unequal treatment, employment,education,housing, access to public facilities etc..based on certain protected characteristics such as race,gender,disability etc.. At this moment what we are Talking about are liberties. Governments must commit to Not abridge liberties without legislation, judicial interpretation or due process. Who decides or determines what public health issues are worth giving the government the power to take away civil liberties?
Ask the families/friends of of the dead doctors, nurses, and other front line staff if the pandemic is "over-estimated".

@@johnnyrocker7495 what figures? The figures on the ONS website showing that 2020 so far has the LOWEST number of deaths in the past 6 years (a smidge over 138,000), a full 25,000+ less than 2018 (I must have missed the 2018 lockdown?), and is nearly 5,000 below the 5 year average? Is that what you meant? Or did you mean the Who statistics which show only 0.9% of people who have died, HAVEN'T had heart disease, diabetes, lung disease or cancer? Hmmm, maybe you meant the WHO statistics that even including people with comorbid issues, people under 60 have between a 99.4% and 99.8% recovery rate? And that even the worst affected, the over 80s, have an 86% recovery rate? If not those numbers, then what numbers are you referring to?

Peter's views are marred by his support for the race relations legislation of the 1960s. What dreadful things were being done then? Do you mean that immigration did not have public support and English people were prepared to say so? Why does Peter insist that we must become minorities in our own countries?
Agreed. The original Race Relations Act was government limiting the freedoms of the native population in order to accommodate uninvited newcomers. How Peter can describe it as a good thing is baffling.
I too found that disappointing. It was England, after all, not the deep South. The Act was brought in by the solicitor general, Frank Soskice, because fellow significant Labour politicians had a decade previously brought immigrants in from the West Indies. The English were mixed in their reactions but then they were never asked and it appears, neither were their rulers. For a decade after the first arrivals native Btitish people were being offered £10 one way tickets to Australia. So England peculiarly swapped some of its people on the pretext that we needed more workers.
This is what people say when theyre avoiding uncomfortable truth, use the past to write them off. They aren’t marred, when the views he’s expressing are 60yrs later on a completely different subject. His past is no concern when he’s talking truth now.

It is naive in my opinion to believe that the deluge of rights legislation in the UK was written with good intent. It was written to dilute and obfuscate the rule of law, in favour of an overlapping, legalese (foreign language) written mess that the ordinary man would spend a lifetime researching and still be likely to fall victim of.
It was to confuse and to disempower the majority, the 'non'-minority. To replace the injured party of true law with the crown, via statutory instrument. A cleverly and deeply underhanded means of making the authors of legislation it's own victim, enforced at the end of a gun, both monetarily but most importantly by shrinking the vista of what the common man may do without falling foul. All in the name of our own good of course, said every tyrannical instrument in history.
back to classical liberalism?
Is teaching sodomy in school ... is it done with the best of intentions.
Or is it done fundamentally as revenge.
Conservatism, liberalism, left, right, are false dichotomies, useless criteria in the search for the basic principles of peaceful, prosperous, dynamic, creative societies.
These societies are the product of mutually beneficial reciprocity and cooperation. You can't have mutually beneficial reciprocity and cooperation without trust and you cannot have trust without freedom, that is the absence of coercion and deceit.
The real dichotomy is between freedom and imposition. The absurd idea that some people have the right, because of certain advantages, to run other people's lives, under the pretext of seeking the common good is what lets totalitarianism get its foot in the door.
Authoritarianism is fine, some would argue, but it is simply the same plant in an earlier stage of growth, to paraphrase Frederic Bastiat' in La Loi.
Our choice is between libertarianism, where public force is not used except to place limits on coercion and deceit and to compel freely acquired obligations, and authoritarianism, where public force is used beyond this, coercing some people, beyond simply compelling freely acquired obligations that have been reneged, for the benefit of others.
The dividing line is pretty clear and, where it isn't, it should be the people's prerogative to decide unanimously in juries whether they want to risk public force going over it, not the government's, because they will always choose to expand the scope of their power for the "common good," and it is the people who must suffer the consequences of government errors and abuses anyway.
Libertarianism, not anarchy, versus authoritarianism, which is always in danger of morphing, gradually or suddenly, into totalitarianism. That is our choice, as distasteful as we may find the uncertainty, leaving so much out of our control.
Authoritarianism offers certainty, offers control, but in the end, we can have somewhat reliable control only over ourselves, not over circumstances, not over others.
