As a Conservative Election Agent in 2001 campaign I go my local CF branch to greet his arrival on the campaign trail with boxing gloves and offered the labour activists hard boiled eggs. He loved every second of it although never stepped off the battle bus to deliver his greatest hits
Gawd. Hitchens is stuck in a world 50 years ago looking through rose tinted glasses. I remember that world and we had less time than we do today. For one we had to shop every day and that required a trip into town trawling around separate shops because we didn’t have refrigerators. We had to shovel out ashes and make a fire daily. Washing machines had to be carefully tended and everything had to be cooked in an oven rather than using a microwave.
Yep ..same era for myself . Smog...windows iced up inside . Cane for bad grammar ....dyslexia wasn't recognised then . And the coloured lad in my classroom getting hit by the school bullies while the teacher stood watching oblivious . The good old days my a***
Correct. So why do we get called evil white ppl who exploited everyone? white privilege; I think not. Hitchens was from wealth, but he still has valid points.

I used to be a fanatical leftist, & secretly / grudgingly read his autobiography with a great deal of pleasure. And I suspect that now, firmly entrenched on the right, I’ll be ferreting it out this weekend , & enjoying it just as much as I did then. A good, decent, extremely likeable bloke. Rest in peace, prezza.
On the changes to Sunday trading , i have often said , to much amusment and laughing emoji that it was john major who was the most consquential of Prime Ministers. For he got through those changes that altered the pattern of life that had existed for 1500 years
You can actually have a healthy work life balance through Hybrid working. The fact that mr Hitchens is an advocate for forcing everyone back into miserable offices just goes to show that he does not care about the working man
Russia uses cluster munitions and landmines in Ukraine via its illegal under international law invasion, Ukraine has not signed an agreement to not use them either most probably because it has Russia as a next door neighbour. Russia is doing all the escalating they are possibly drafting in 100,000 North Korean soldiers into Europe, there are 10,000 there at present, it is a big security risk and Russia is the aggressor, not Ukraine, it's just defending it's sovereign territory!?!
Don't worry; thankfully President Trump is at the controls now, or will be soon. He doesn't like wars ( unlike Biden and starmer ) so there should be peace, sooner rather than later.
So breaching the Minsk Accords and slaughtering 14,000 ethnic Russians in the Donbas wasn't an act of war by Ukraine .then?(the Donbas ,being a region that elected to remain in the Russian Federation,but don't let facts get in the way of your propaganda).
" Possibly drafting in 100,000 North Korean"…why stop there M8... I'll raise you…possibly 500,000...there you go...another figure plucked out of thin air...have a nice day
I usually agree with Hitchens, but I find his arguments on missiles being fired at Russia hypocritical. Russia uses Chinese and Iranian arms to attack Ukraine continuously. North Korea are providing 50,000 troops,. We do not say China and North Korea and Iran have declared war on Ukraine.
50K you say...figures gone up from 10K then...??...problem is no one has actually seen any...they palm of a few 'Russian Asiatics' bodies as evidence…if you believe that you need to do a bit of research on 'leftover' USSR demographics...
the weapons Korea & Iran provide do not require direct involvement from those countries in order for them to work. ATACMS & Storm Shadow CANNOT be operated without direct involvement from the US or Britain, that is the difference that you are ignoring. Those "50,000" Korean troops have not set a single foot in Ukraine either.
There are no NK troops in Ukraine fighting for Russia. That is a lie. Russia uses weapons from other countries but that is not the same as those countries having personnel on the ground firing the things. Britain and America are not giving these new weapons to Ukraine these weapons are patented and not something you give to other countries. We are on the ground aiming, firing and controlling these things.
PH never denied that Covid existed; he was rightly up in arms about the overreaction to it. He is in his 70, and being older makes him more susceptible to viruses. He probably made the choice to take the experimental gene therapy because he weighed up the benefits versus the negatives, which in hindsight was duped into taking. I can't speak on behalf of him so I don't know the reasons for his decision.
@@tonyforeman9502 No - the jab was a test and Peter failed miserably. You can be as clever as you want in conversation and the theoretical world - the real world test that means and proves something he failed.

Absolute bollocks , closing everything on your only Day off and restrictions on drinking hours , punished the worker 🤔 it was awful and draconian ,, the lords day my arse , every day is the lords day and we are well capable of doing the lords work during the week , not restricted to a Sunday .
The only reason Sunday became 'The Lords Day' (the biblical meaning of this is the day Jesus returns) is because the early Church was mostly Jewish and they had Sabbath with their family and community on Saturday so they met fellow Believers on the day after - Sunday, first day of the week to Jews.
I’m amazed you Christopher fanboys are still so blind after all this time. They are different people and have very different opinions. Why on earth do you make this argument at every turn rather than interact with what’s being said or simply keep quiet because everyone has already heard your diatribe about which brother was best.
Rational thoughts from a thinking person. We need more Peter Hitchens!
Only animal on the planet that fights sleep 😴 😂how we got to this is unreal 😮😂
Another Labour MP who thumps members of the public
Sounded more feminine than Rayner, though.

Exactly. It stands to reason you would be tired working through that laundry list. We sleep less now because there is more fun stuff to do now! 👩🦲😎😸😁
@ Indeed and the time available to do it.
You're talking about material things and Dyslexia is one of the biggest cons of our age along with ADHD.
All that Britain has become.....how on earth did you not see what was coming. Many did, but not enough
I love the conversation between these two guys
Spitting image was ahead of its time
More a documentary 🙂
RIP. but as a political figure, I couldn't stand the man
Prescot wrecked the country and you wish him well? duh
Sorry to hear about John Prescott. RIP
I will always remember when I was a kid some guy throwing an egg at him and him punching the guy in retaliation. Legend!

Gloom and doom from Hitchens after all ‘we’ helped Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan and look how peaceful and prosperous those countries are🤔🤔🤔😱😱😱
Talking about "average Brit" and they put up pictures of Asians and blacks.

The Conservative leadership mistakes pale in comparison...
They'd be sending the missiles too, make no mistake.
Get rid of the AI snippets of film, they are banal and distracting
Re Ukraine
I highly recommend Daniel Davis Deep Dive and Judge Napolitano Judging Freedom

Why anyone thinks the decision is up to anyone other than the employer is beyond me.
Arc at it 😂🫣
Peter Hitchens' face doesn't move when he talks.
Respectability
Hate to break it to you but the UK is about to see something of a surge in MAGA style right wing politics, to the extent you'll be wishing for a Keir
I effing well hope so.
I’m lucky to get 5 and a half hours
Go to bed earlier. Or have a sleep in. Both work.
how's everyone getting an extra 20 mins than me ?

Russia invaded a sovereign country and welched on their agreement, which makes them wrong, despite their BS. Look what they did in Bucha.
" Possibly drafting in 100,000 North Korean"…why stop there M8... I'll raise you…possibly 500,000...there you go...another figure plucked out of thin air...have a nice day
My comment removed by YT ,who don't like facts.
Enjoy your echochamber.
Your propaganda is beyond a joke.
Lord Prescott, hypocrite.
John prescot rip
And jab.

11:10 I'd like to see what Ukranians think of that suggestion.

How unpleasant. And even after editing you couldn't get your grammar right.

Don't let the best be the enemy of the good, and Chris was alright in his own way. He was like one of those characters from Stella Street.
