- Peter Hitchens says the BBC has "kind of shot itself in the foot" over the row about whether Rule Britannia would be played at the last night of the proms.
The journalist also added the department have health had ruined a number of people's holidays, telling Mike Graham that daily death figures from coronavirus in the UK were low and that Mr Hitchens was still awaiting a freedom of information request regarding the number of people believed to have needed to quarantine on their return to the UK.
Yup, that’s another 5 million license fees cancelled.
Decided mine was done today . Never watch any MSM lies so I thought today why the hell am I paying them.
@@seabreeze4339 I did the same
this fear is allowed to fester because of the likes of the BBC
And the likes of the likes of the BBC
Fear....FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL!
Nonsense
I feel 100% better after listening to this. Intelligent and articulate. My morale lives to fight another day.
Don't give up, keep spreading the word.
Hang in there.
Love Peter Hitchens, Douglas Murray, David Starkey and sexy Laurence Fox. They have intellect, humour and give right thinking of us a will to live. Thank you Graham you are a proper broadcaster. ❤❤❤❤
@@joanwilkins8795 David Starkey is another 'find'. The intelligent view is so refreshing. I have noticed how the UK MSM news has become Amercanised, with a comprehension age of about 6. Cheap journalism and repeated use of single syllable words. Oh they play the masses like a fiddle!
Message to the advertisers I've just skipped every advert.
Chris Lee me too lols
I installed uBlock Origin so I don't even have to bother skipping them :)
The channel gets payment for ads that are played through. So it's the channel that is losing out when people skip through the ads.
Too many ads is the problem as I would watch 1 but not 1 every 3 mins
Fay Strachan then put them at the start
Just stop watching it, don’t even give any attention to it and it’ll fade away.
Exactly. Defunding is one thing , but the main point is not watching.
scotty onehunglow I don’t know anyone who pays it
*Seems to me **_Jesus_** has faded somewhat in favour of Allah and Mohammed in the UK, perhaps it's time for a comeback ?*

Yes, it is really important to break the TV habit. I didn't realise what a toxic effect watching TV had on me until I completely stopped watching.
@@andrewmartin6445 The covid propaganda is relentless . I only catch the radio because the wife has it on . It's EVERY time someone speaks. I must catch maybe 10 minutes a day, and even during that time I hear too much . Still at least they've shut up about climate change , and lesbians.
God bless you Peter. A man of reason in an age of lunacy
@Skylark 82 LOL!
Look up Anna Brees and interviews
I agree with that
Government
Govern=control , Ment= Mind.
Politics
Poli= many, tics= blood sucking parasites
Nuff said.
@@donjones7431 never thought about it like that, but now you mention it.......
Guess we will have to change the words....'land of woke & glory'.......
more like "land of broke and Tory"
'Woke'. 'Glory'. In the same sentence? Nah.
Woke means going broke.
Spitting Image changed it to "Land of Crisps and Lager" .. but I guess that is lefty mocking that wouldn't go down well here. Was funny though.
You cannot argue with the BBC, just defund them and show your neighbors how to cancel.
Keep the faith Britain. These marxist ideologies need to be confronted.
Always good to hear Peter, we need more voices like his.
Now more than ever.
put me on the radio then
Enjoyable, informative journalists, analysing what the majority tends to feel. Good work.
Talk Radio summed up. Brilliant station.
I discovered that my licence fee is much better spent on beer and cigars.
...and has been for some time....
I done my bit to defund the bbc they sent me a letter to day I wint be bothered for 2 years thinking I will want to get one in 2 years NO suck luck bbc you are finished.get lost I wont be getting another licence demand for unlawful tax.begger off thousand are leaving the bbc every week.
They sent someone round who knocked my door last month to "check if I still didn't need a TV licence?" I told her no thanks, invited her in to check that nothing had changed since the last time I let them in, but she refused to step inside due to the test "current conditions". The whole thing left me scratching my head as to why they bothered coming round then if they weren't going to check and they already send me letters checking the same thing.
Until March 23 this year I took my 4 year old son to see my mother in aged care multiple times a week, he has not seen her since. She has been confined to her room (room not building) for over a month. He was sitting on he couch a few days ago crying, saying 'I want to see grandma'. How many people will look back in coming years and realise they lost the last years with their parents and grandparents. Such as sad loss, the last years of my own grandfathers life are a precious memory for me.
That’s awful. My daughter is 6 and a bit of a worrier at the best of times. The first time her granny touched her since the start of this, she jumped back and said “don’t touch me granny, I might make you sick”. Also at a playground recently, an 18 month old who was so terrified of other kid’s germs that he’d scream if any of them went near him. I really wonder how this is going to affect little ones in the long run.
That's is awful and happens to be classed as the new normal. No no is not normal. Just a suggestion if you little one Coukd talk on the phone if possible and make his granma card, pictures. And please do your research in to cures for covid 19. Lots of good doctors in America and other countries. There is a peaceful protest this Saturday in London Trafalgar Square at 12 noon. Lots of doctors and guests speaking about all of this Covid 19. Maybe you will get some hope. 🙏
@@kellynisbett5876 Here is Victoria doing research is pointless. The government has made illegal the use of the two most prominent proposed cures, sounds strange but it is true.
The song does not say "Britannia Rules The Waves" it says "Britannia Rule The Waves". Which gives it a different meaning. I'm sorry to be pedantic.
I think its the line Britain never never never will be slaves' they dont like. The New World Order is about just having a slave class and an elite class just like the old ussr. No middle class. The lockdown is their way of getting rid of small and medium sized businesses and let the major corporations have the monopoly. They will make smart homes (12 x 12) of the empty business premises in town centres and move people whereby they can keep them under surveillance. Watch John Rappaport on the Vinny Eastwood Show video.
They have that covered, by simultaneously dumbing down the English language. (The removal of full stops and other punctuation) This makes it easier for the 'woke' to take offence, because they just do not understand.
You are not sorry about anything - neither are all the imperialist colonialists who you fawn and grovel to.
@Mister Ee He's up his own ass. Silly old sausage.
I feel like I am living in the twilight zone .
Me too. Resist.
Don’t watch too many videos about Qanon and the deepstate. It will make you more crazy.
The Marxist zone more like.
@@Steveuploads Yes, hard to watch. But we have to in order to know what could be going on. I say 'could be' cos this is something we need to understand well as so much rides on it.
All hail Peter Hitchens!
Peter the Great
End all lockdown restrictions now.
It's now illegal to die however I wish the BBC would.
Autopsy "COVID-19"
Friend of mine is a teacher and went back to school a few weeks ago before the summer holidays. He was all ready for the kids to be sitting at their socially distanced desks etc. Upon opening the door he realised it was pointless as the children simply didn't care and at playtime the teachers just couldn't segregate them. Then, after school, the children were all meeting up walking up the road. It's just not human nature to keep humans apart so let's forget it and get back to the normal normal. Deaths are bugger all.Numbers are going up because they're testing more, it's not rocket science
Keeping kids apart in the classroom might not even do what we are being told it will do - keep everysafe. Especially, as you point out they mix elsewhere. Then again, they might only be able to catch the virus from one another in classrooms but not in other places they meet up, and if so, the segregation is a truly great idea. Rest easy everyone.
Teachers are “morons”, they were “morons” when I was a kid, and they are even bigger “morons” now. Yep, I spent a lot of time in the Headmasters Office......
Anyone happy to be working from home on the Internet needs to be introduced to their Mumbai replacement.
The self-employed are unlikely to replace themselves and it saves them money on renting office space.
@@jackwilson5513 saves the air, a seat on the rail -- working at home is a great option. Sitting in traffic when you're in a car that's built to go is stupid
The more I’m pushed into anti patriotism the more patriotic I become 🇬🇧
They will soon run out of feet in which to shoot themselves. TRIGGER WARNING. Sorry for the full stop at the end of the
Sack all teachers and parents take control of the schools!
@Double u OhEnA Unfortunately they only teach dross.
Peter Hitchens always talking sense regarding this covid situation. Government have overreacted massively!
'sorry sir you've come from a blacklisted country. you must self isolate for 2 weeks.'
'ok'
*goes home. goes about his life as normal*
Honestly.. how are they enforcing these self isolations, without putting an apparatchik on everyones door? absolute joke.
People who work from home only get work done if they haven't got cats
Defund!
Cancel your license and let them compete in the free market like everyone else has to!
I totally ignored track and trace. I was sent home from work with a head ache and sore throat last thursday. I was told to self isolate. Since then ive been bowling, drinking, swimming and cycling. And lo and behold, the covid test was negative. I'm not wasting my life sitting in quarantine when this entire situation is quite obviously BOLLOCKS.
Stop paying for that vile propaganda! Cancel the licence!!
if teachers dont want to work step aside and let others take the jobs as children need to be educated, and if teachers are too thick to see theres virtually no risk then they have no common sense and shouldnt be teaching
The thought that people love their country and the sovereignty of individual nations sticks in their throats. Freedom of thought and speech makes them feel threatened..
Let them feel threatened eh Maureen? Freedom of thought and speech forever.........................................
For all the people now working from home it is going to be quite a shock when their employers realise that Estonians, Lithuanians, Indians etc. can do the same work much more cheaply.
If a school closes then stop paying all the staff....no work-no pay! Let them sit at home for as long as they want but no money! And then start looking for some teachers, maybe from abroad, who actually want to teach!
Low flying tortoise would be a "turtle" disaster !!
Can Brits file a class action suit against BBC fees? Asking from across the pond.
No.
Its a tax like any other. It funds the bbc world service and many other dramas etc that they produce.
A change in the law is required. Having said this. There is no legal way they can prosecute people who refuse to pay IF they are not watching live TV.
So anyone who only watches Netflix or UA-cam has absolutely no legal obligation to pay the licence fee.
The bbc would argue this but in reality they can't.
Now, with streaming subscription services, the bbc is out if time. Thats why they've scrapped free licenses for over 75s. So many have canceled their licenses the bbc is now struggling.
Also interesting to note the bbc received MASSIVE amounts of cash from the eu. Coincidence that this was roughly when they changed from being a service we all trusted for fair and neutral reporting, to propaganda and biased news that would put CNN to shame.
The boss of the bbc has also been offered, and I believe, accepted a position in Brussels working for the eubc - yep the eu even want our broadcasting service.
So its time for the entire nation to just end it. The bbc must die.
Them trying to ban "land of hope and glory and rule brittania" from the last night of the proms is possibly the nail in theur coffin. Land of hope... has gone straight to the top of the music charts as a result. 😊
Thats all you need to know about how the people feel about this. 😊
The bbc is finished, they just don't know it yet.
Im cancelling my license by the end of the week.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize"
A great way to put it Mo.
BBC/mass immigration/Labour/Islam Party all of it was in 2030: Your Children's Future in Islamic Britain. This is the biggest scandal in British history, the taxpayer funded population replacement of the indigenous English race and the surrender of its historical capital to our sworn enemies without a shot being fired. Another generation of careerist Tories cannot wash their hands of this immigration treason then skip off to the Lords anymore, we are way past that stage now, keep the borders open and they will find themselves hunted down with the rest of us.
Imagine restricting who you speak to in the street because the school headmaster tells you to. 😂😂😂😂
I haven’t paid the telly tax for ten years I am very happy to say.
The words of these songs in my opinion is not that important it is the tradition of singing them during the last night of the Proms.
Just out to destroy our Country our culture, traditions.. Don't like this country.. then it's a big world out there.!!! MOVE ON
Mr Hitches RIGHTLY points out that Britain doesn't rule the waves and we are perfectly happy to also be treated as 'slaves' BUT for me it's about being proud of our country and having faith in our 'establishment' and honouring those before us who fought for our independence and future. I am PROUD to be British and to all those who are not ...... pack your bags and GO!
Always enjoy hearing Peter speak, even when I don't agree with him! We need to hear all voices and all opinions.
This is an absolute disgrace. So we are not now allowed to display any pride in our country and it's history & traditions?
I am outraged by the BBC this is beyond belief .
Yippee it's Monday evening and live Mike and Peters chats, Peter sounding quite sexy ha ha ha!!! But why do people abandon their much needed holidays and charge back for no frigging reason!! Just enjoy your hols guys really!!!
Peter and Mike’s Monday chats are a highlight of my week too! My nephew just moved to the Netherlands to start university, his mum and dad were supposed to take him over but then the ridiculous quarantine was introduced just before they left. So his dad stayed at home and missed out on seeing his firstborn off to college in a new country. Because of this stupid, poorly thought-out nonsense. So sad for them, and the countless others losing out on such major life events. Makes me so cross.
Can't wait to cart my kid off to school. Spending 5 months stuck inside without a break was hell 😂
Peter is doing a great job right now.
Christopher Hitchens is one of my intellectual idols, sorely missed in these times. May he rest in peace.
We Have To Make The B B C Stop. Defund The B B C Now.
When I'm on a site like this I feel there are a lot of like-minded people, but in day to day life I feel there are very few. Since mandatory mask wearing came in I've seen one other person without a mask when shopping! 😮
There are lots of us around, it's just that just because one wears a face mask in shops does not mean that said person agrees with all this nonsense. I hate wearing a face mask (and it's a complete waste of time), and can't stay in a shop for very long as I find it so uncomfortable. However I don't see the point of arguing with people who are simply doing their job, standing guard in shop doorways and asking us all to wear the bloody things, so I reluctantly wear one even though I now try and avoid going in a shop etc unless I have to. I think there are lots of people who agree wtih Hitchens and think the last few months have been totally absurd, at least here we can all meet up!
@@paulthompson8996 If people stopped going into their shops to avoid having to wear a muzzle they would soon change their tune! Stop complying with this BS.
@@margaretreid8692 Maybe; but what I found out is that anyone can just print off an exempt card, so I've got one and we'll see - interesting social experiment - what happens when I start to use it in shops when asked why I'm not wearing a mask.
@Double u OhEnA Fair point; in fact it's got to the point where, if I am in a shop for any length of time, (a) my glasses steam up and I can't see anything and (b) I can't breathe properly, so I now have a card (printed from gov uk) on a lanyard, saying that I am exempt (as it causes me "severe distress") and I've never had a problem since. Sorted.
@Double u OhEnA Debateable. They have the right to deny entry to said shop [section 5(1) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus. Wearing of Face Coverings in a Relevant Place (England) Regulations 2020] and to ask you to wear one if not [section 5(2)], unless you are exempt. Interestingly, and rather ridiculously, you do not have to have an exemption card and do not have to show it, it is enough to say 'I am exempt'. What happens then is unknown, until there is a test case.
Similar in Ireland...it's neither here nor there. Nobody dying either, but the rules get worse as the weeks go on
One of the few real journalists we have left. Always on the side of a free people
I do sense a dawning realisation amongst a growing element of the population that this has nothing to do with health in any way. Add these to the people that don't give a damn what the rules are and we are heading for a society where anarchy is the new normal. A dangerous game that they are playing.
Oh yes, very dangerous Robin. I personally would love to go back to the normal normal (as in Feb 2020 and earlier). It had many faults that needed fixing but it had many more virtues. Don't ever remember back then seeing so many scared people - too scared to think of anything other than pulling an over-used and inadequate mask over their faces and recoiling from the rest of humanity. I do remember lots of people working hard and playing hard - enjoying life.
just dont pay them any fee, BBC full of pillow biters !
Let’s be fair, The B Broadcasting Company has been shooting itself in the foot for years it’s just becoming more frequent now.
Someone slipped, bumped his head and died. We should ban walking.
What a shame we don't have Monty Python any more. The ongoing scenario is so
PYTHON-ESQUE. You couldn't make it up. Top-Down the whole thing is a farce. Peter
you are a breath of fresh air in this pantomime. And I am grateful that Mike is giving you a regular slot with which to help us cope. Big Hugs xx

Churchill had same issue with BBC under Reith. They'll never change, been going on for years.
I saw some very upsetting scenes in a Max Igan video (no longer on youtube) - children in Thailand having to stand on particular spots on the floor and playing alone each in their own plastic-sheeting tent. It's monstrous. I don't have children myself but am very worried about what this is doing to them socially and mentally. It's children and old people I'm most worried about, both groups are suffering horribly and for what? What we have, if it is actually anything out of the ordinary, has the mortality rate of a flu bug (anybody seen the flu rates for this year, btw?!). And yes, Demo Graphics, quite right: after 49 years of listening to Radio 4 I've finally realised what a toxic propaganda machine it is, it's not reformable, let's bin the blo ody thing, dreadful people putting blood on our hands on a daily basis.
There's a tortoise with Boris Johnson's name on it.
Chris Hill Poor Tortoise😉
If nothing else, the lockdown has given Boris some sort of excuse for a statesman actually ‘maintaining’ the hairstyle of a teenage Aussie surfer crossed with Kevin when he’d just got back from Ibeza with Perry
Peter Hitchens along with Mike G. The voice of reason.
My son, 25, enjoyed Peters brother, Chris. He was a great voice.
He's now realised, Peter is now, maybe always, the reasoned one.
Great discussion guys.
We're slowly turning into America, be proud of this country and the amazing things we have accomplished during our great and long history.
Self loathing is just uncomfortable to watch. Your State broadcaster seems to want you Brits to grow more comfortable with it.
Why?
A great question. Over to you BBC - why?
Just stop watching. Almost 2 yrs for me now.
Falling tortoises 😂😂. Genius 👏👏👏
Hopefully, the people that attend will start singing it and make sure that it is heard.
Has Peter ever considered being a motivational speaker?
What in? Privilege and wealth and how to appear as though you don't have it , to the masses way beneath you on the ladder .. numpty .
What? One of life's natural pessimists, much as I appreciate his views, does not a motivational speaker make
I was obviously being sarcastic. A slow painful death or spending a day with Peter and it would be a difficult decision to make.
Cancel your tv license direct debit
If they come around say you don’t watch live tv and iplayer. And close the door. Or if you get a threatening letter straight in bin
Record them at the door for proof and don’t let them in
Thanks for that , because my DD got cancelled today.
Anyone ever notice how they never play R.E.M's "It's the end of the world as we know it" anymore?
Back our Over 75's - Defund the BBC
This interview is great. Thanks for being voices of reason.
Stop paying the teachers when not in work simple.
People have gone into a level of depression and forgotten quite quickly what happiness is.
It's not just the BBC its all media,,, repeat All of it including this show.. It all goes way deeper than this..
I have never paid a TV license in my life. 46 Devon
END THE LICENCE FEE
I would cancel my licence - but I got rid of my television years ago. Not had a licence for years.
Get to London Sat 29th Trafalgar Square 12.0pm Peaceful mass protest against this the BS
I'm sure you can sneak in some more adverts, if you want.. ☹️

What the hell is going on the exact same thing is happening in Australia. Absolutely nothing adds up.
In my opinion a large reason for the 2 week quarantine is to keep people from spending money in different countries in there high season. (Portugal low deaths but banned in there high season, now Croatia)
"before you sing it ask yourself do you really mean it" well said Peter
A brilliant honest radio station.
What did he say ? The main symptoms are a full clean bill of health ? Or something similar ? LOL !
Well said Mike
Of course they won't tell you, It's too embarassing to answer!
Love peters analogy of the tortoise on the head being like the risk of COVID. Spot on! 👍😄
Hmm... did i just hear these two saying we.need to live healthier lives and to socialise more?
Give them what they deserve.
Cancel your licence and stop your direct debit.
I think everyone should stand on their doorsteps on Saturday evening at 7pm and laugh out loud at the government.
This video definitely needs more ad breaks
Has anyone enquired which music they intend to use in place of these iconic compositions?
Yes, it is going to be "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols with accompaniment by the London Sympathy Orchestra
