For the first time, I really believe the upper house should be abolished. It’s appalling what’s happening. Twenty-seven year old apparatchiks a peerage for life is beyond absurd.
His NeoCon wars destabilised the Middle East. All we gained was waves and waves of refugees. He's a classic example of why the centre Right has been completely useless.
@DiamondLil Wodehouse is another national treasure 🇬🇧 nothing better than listening to Jonathan Cecil reading Jeeves & Wooster audiobooks while doing chores 😊
Owen Matthews made a fundamental error in stating that the Brits didn't introduce conscription during the Great War. In fact Owen, conscription was introduce in 1916 and continued until 1920.
Owen Matthews is quite wrong to say that Britain never had a draft in the First World War. This is incorrect. The Military Service Act was passed in January 1916 and imposed conscription on all single men between the ages 18 and 41.
Julie Bindel’s lifelong work for women’s rights is iconic, but I’ll bet I’m not only one who didn’t know she’s also a gourmet? Please let’s have more her cultural sophistication!
Laughed at the comments about people thinking Rishi is smart and on the ball. Whenever I hear him speak, I am reminded of the Monty Python sketch about accountants.
Sunak is basically a brown Ed Milliband - a bizarre geeky figure who couldn't lead his way out of a paper bag. This is why the party didn't vote for him and why the public won't either.
Tommy Robinson was born Yitzhak Adam Bermann to a Hasidic Lithuanian immigrant parents. After refusing to attend Yeshiva, he left home and changed his name to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Although an observant Jew, he does not consider himself to be a Hasid.
Julie has of course hit upon what we all knew: that restaurants in the UK all offer up sub-par, reheated overpriced fare and expect a tip to boot. I do not eat out anymore because I realised I can cook better than any restaurant in my price range: I sous-vide organic ribeye steak for 3 hours and then reverse sear in a pan; it's the best steak I've the eaten.
Owen Matthews claiming that Britain didn't have conscription in WW1? I'm surprised that he could have said something so ignorant without challenge. From the Official UK Parliament website: "In January 1916 the Military Service Act was passed. This imposed conscription on all single men aged between 18 and 41, but exempted the medically unfit, clergymen, teachers and certain classes of industrial worker. A second Act passed in May 1916 extended conscription to married men."
Actually the problem is that the House of Commons does not reflect the views of the electorate because of our unfair voting system. If it did there would be a lot more Lib Dem MPs.
So the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg etc did not break the spirits of German civilians. Interesting? The Hiroshima and Nagasski bombings had no impact interesting. More recently the bombing of Raqqa left the people???? What an odd Mathews comment.
In recent years I've become a fan of Julie Bindel. I find her easy to watch & listen to. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what she says. Rishi Sunak? Not so much. I agree with what he says in the same sense that I agree that Motherhood & Apple Pie are in principle Good Things , but (unlike Julie Bindel) I get no sense he's determined to defend the interests of ordinary Brits against global corporations & globalism.
The assertion by Owen Mathews that Britain didn't have conscription in WW1 is simply not true. In January 1916 the Military Service Act was passed. This imposed conscription on all single men aged between 18 and 41, but exempted the medically unfit, clergymen, teachers and certain classes of industrial worker.
He is lying about everything. Just another corrupt left propagandist obscuring real facts. All he told there was a sale speech for brainwashed, none based on realiy "NATo is a political allience, not military"' sure, who still believe that?
The founding of NATO made sense for the US after the Second World War to push back the dominance of the Soviet Union as the strongest power in Eurasia. But now, 35 years after the Cold War, Russia simply does not have the capacity and political influence to dominate Europe like the Soviet Union did. In addition, Europe is becoming significantly less important in relation to other parts of the world. It follows that, considering the national interests of the US, it makes no sense to continue NATO.
soemtimes ive wondered before 2022 how they tell staff apart in some peacekeeping regions when there can be NATO troops, UN troops(multiple branches even? blues and other color helmets), national army people, contractors, private military groups.... organizations like UN but not exactly that do very similar things(everyone wants to start their own NGO at some point).
I admire Douglas Murrey because he is one of the very few public figures in Europe who seams to understand that YES there are different cultures, and YES, some of them are incompatible. He was one of the first ones to talk about intolerable culture losses. EU migrant politics is criminal. I don´t like many things about Douglas Murrey. I would like him less americanized, but I respect you and admire you, sir.
Super show. Entertaining and stimulating in equal measure. I can vouch for what Julie Bindel says about that restaurant in Bologna and about that waitress in particular.
On the Ukraine issue, if the USA sent over a Trillion$, do Ukrainian scientists have the capability to grow 500 thousands 22 year old fully trained soldiers?
I wonder how many "distinguished" people there are in British society today that would qualify by merit for the House of Lords? I suspect that where such people exist they are not members of any political party and therefore do not exist in the minds of the politicians. Maybe there was once a golden age of distinguished members of the House of Lords 40 years ago but it is hard to see those days coming back. One factor that gets you into the Lords not mentioned by Douglas Murray is the size of your donation to the governing political party. So corruption gets you there where merit fails. We do need a revising chambre but it seems obvious that for today a fully elected House of Lords is the least worst option.
A brilliantly damning indictment by Mr. Murray of the House of Lords, where cronyism and corruption is rife, and the flotsam and jetsam who have been sent there.
Of course, what @DouglasMurray naïvely misses here, is that this is part of a long-term strategy by the main parties in the UK… who, hamstrung by their historical impotence when it comes to reforming the upper house, have secretly agreed to secularly undermine its (admittedly very low) integrity and honour, through a process of reverse attrition whereby: - Stage 1 (PFP) involves ‘peerages for plebs’, which gradually covertly dilutes the average wisdom rating in the house to such a degree that it’s difficult to distinguish it from a general ward at the local acute care psychiatric hospital… and then the coup de grace: - Stage 2 (HTH) ‘homoeopathically treat the house’, which involves giving honours to the balance of all remaining UK citizens not currently members of the upper house, with the consequence that there is no remaining vestige of its prior incarnation; at this point the upper house will appear to have literally no remaining exercisable wisdom whatsoever, and becomes largely indistinguishable from a journey on the night bus out of Leicester Square on a Saturday night. Mission accomplished.
An otherwise good podcast, but for the anti Russian hysterics. This narrative that Russia would have any motivation to attack Estonia lacks any reasonable logic. John talks of Russia's interference in the countries bordering Russia, but I'm sure he's aware of the UK's interference, as a vassal state of the US, in Iraq, Afghanistan and countless other countries that are thousands of miles away from their border. The hypocrisy is deafening, but somehow Russia are the bad guys and the West are the defenders of all things good. The West's interference in Ukraine's government is how all this death and destruction started. Many Ukrainians are starting to realize this and it will ultimately backfire on the West in a way that will dumbfound the propagandised citizens in the West.
Is what Owen Matthews is really saying is that Ukraine is going to lose the war? The drying up of US support and the resistance to full mobilisation seems to suggest this.
Maybe Julie could cook more of her own Italian food at home.. most restaurant food is we find disapointing ..i am fortunate to be married and my wife is an exceptional 👌 self taught cook.
He was a better chancellor , i also thought it was funny the way he held a pint of beer when he was in the pub ,gosh what is this ghastly thing i'm holding .
War in 3 years? Perhaps more about company's and individuals earning huge financial gains in the creation and sales of arms. All the arms in the eorld sre useless if no population to use them or, are they expecting AI to bridge the gap? And no, I'm no fantasist. Hopefully, my thoughts are rationally based.🤔
Back in the day (I mean the early 1970s) when I lived just 100 yards from Oxford Circus, there were a dozen excellent Greek restaurants in Charlotte Street, and there was Jimmy's, in a Soho basement, where the food was good, plentiful and cheap. Some years later we had several holidays in Corfu and Kefalonia, the same applied. The one in Corfu had no menu - we were invited into the kitchen to choose what we wanted from a dozen or more steaming cauldrons, Again, large portions, cheap and delicious. We would in Kefalonia often take the ferry over to Lixouri where there half a dozen good restaurants. And the wine was good and cheap. In Berlin, the German restaurants were uniformly disgusting. The only good good food was to be had in Indian and Persian restaurants.
cheap food? when? food has been always right second after rent in europe since 90s. I suspect all that burnt ship oil and diesel to truck things other side of world has crept up in food prices. Also city "office people" has ballooned as a result as need more managerial staff to look excel sheets when that happens. Logistics can be boring but lot of tiny details of work.
Julie Bindel should just vote with her wallet and eat elsewhere. Given the footfall in London, I am sure those mediocre Italian restaurants don't really care what Bindel thinks unless she actually starts naming and shaming them.
House of Lords? She must have crammed in an amazing amount of life experience in her 27 years. The House of Lords should be no larger than the House of Commons. Two out one in until there are no more than 650 of them. Even better. Seating room only. Adult pretenders (actors) and adult players of games (athletes/sportsmen) are not serious people and also do not belong in the House of Lords.
There is big lies purported about security arangements and the ability of countries to choose what they want. In fact, the OECD treaties on security from Istanbul and Astana enshrines the idea of security for all.
So they speak about Kiev and their chances of the next offensive. And then we see how this woman speaks about tomato’s in the fridge. WOW love it about European support 😂
Rishi Sunak... What kind of a person are you if you risk "coming across as a little too down to earth"? It's as if these people are a species of their own, sometimes paying us ordinary folk a visit. Any person who has to "come across" in a certain way should be banned from politics.
I support a bi-cameral structure for our legislature. The HoL is out of date and largely a vehicle for political patronage. Most of its members, as far as I can tell, are conscientious, but it is plainly vulnerable to forms of cronyism. Maybe it should be elected by PR, or populated on some other basis to ensure genuine balance in our constitution.
I have had a disturbing vison that i begun to agree with mr Murray an behold it has begun to come to pass should i celebrate my confersoin or should i worry about my state of mind o well nobody said life would b easy
The US senate is proposing to send $60 billion of our taxes to Ukraine. To understand this number: $60 billion is a 36.4 mile long line of semi trucks filled with silver bullion, allowing 65' / truck. $23.39 / oz | 32.154 troy oz / kg | 27,000 kg / 40' container | 2955 containers & trucks.
The Palestinian/Isreal conflict is one thing, but Starmer seems to be confused as to what a woman is! That’s half the population and he refuses to stand for biological sex, therefore, putting all women at risk, not only physical risk, but also in all areas that cater and represent women. This is a massive issue and I don’t understand why more people, particularly women are not taking this seriously.
Estonia ?? It ain't half cold mum ! Seriously , letting Estonia, an EU member, get away with discriminating against a minority of their population in violation of previous norms just because their family came to the area in the 1950s etc. is not a good look for us democrats. It gives Putin a talking (even action?) point.

It needs to be reformed not abolished, we have enough democracy as it is, and it isn’t working well
