Thank you Peter for being one of the few people expressing a sensible opinion during the lockdown madness. So many of us knew you were right but so few spoke up.
And those that did were vilified. I was ostracised by members of my family, banned from seeing my nieces for not being vaccinated, told you must face the consequences! And now they conveniently pretend they never said all those things!
Here's an interesting timeline of events leading up to the pandemic: Sept 2019: The shadowbanking community starts to become uneasy at the prospect of a global financial crash. Blackrock advise that additional cash is pumped into central banks but not into the 'real' economy of transactions/ retail etc which would lead to hyperinflation. October 2019: The world military games take place in Wuhan. Nov 2019: The John Hopkins centre for Health security (in collaboration with the WEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation), hosts Event 201 - global pandemic exercise. Jan 2020: First videos emerge from China of people dropping dead in the street. Strangely enough, these scenes didn't repeat in other countries, but they served to scare global populations. March 2020: The entire world locks down and central banks start printing unprecedented amounts of money. 11.7 trillion dollars more or less. 40% of all the money which has ever been in existence printed in a single month. Here's the kicker. Under normal circumstances, injecting that many trillions of dollars into the system would result in the money filtering its way into the real economy and causing hyperinflation. That is unless the real economy was brought to a standstill - by locking everyone inside their homes and preventing them from working for example! All coincidental but it makes for interesting speculation.
You're right, ofc. But you'd be wasting your breath trying to make that point to the legions of dupes who went along with it all and still to this day probably actually believe they are noble and have saved lives.
lives, livelihoods, small businesses, marraiages, childhood friendships, the list goes on. we lived in Melbourne australia which was locked down longer than any other city. My son missed his first two years of school and as an only child literally went made two years in a row. Our lives were turned upside down and we literally fled that city for good.
Sweden, piloted by Anders Tegnell, did much better long term despite errors in the beginning. Of course they got rid of him later but his policies avoided the worst damage
Right wingers got in there didn’t they? The African Minister for Swedens Culture wanted to melt down Viking Artefacts- I think that did it for them. They’re such a deeply lovely people. In rural areas they greet you warmly in the street. They’re really happy to speak English in shops. Everything is so …, _tasteful_ - the uniform red wood barns, pristine lakes and forests are so superbly managed, so you need not fear picking berries and eating them, they’ve been tested for foxes worms etc.. I just love it there. Apart from the liberalism that made them think they’ve no culture!
It was all known or accesible at the time as witnessed by the Barrington Declaration. The pilot study for the test in Liverpool (?) concluded the test was useless. All this was silenced by the complict MSM and our bought and paid for parliament. Eternal damnation on them!
Lock them up, You dont let the bus drivers continue driving after theyve crashed the bus and killed thousands and damaged countless others in the process. Malice or incompetence.... it doesn't matter. Advisers, politicians, Medical professionals, the media who took money to ignore the truth... the lot of em. I will never trust any of them ever again. Blood on their hands.
I was told by a consultant who looked after me, when I had C-19 given to me by fully vaccinated in- law, that there was a very bad flu going about since November 2019 to March 2020 and that Italy was hit the worst. Also my brother in law asked two top consultants in Wakefield hospital how many people had died of C-19 their reply was NONE.
well Constultant in covid ward at Stoke on Trent hospital told our mutual friend, on speaker phone, infront of ambulance staff and family members "don't let them bring you to hospital, I won't be able to stop them from killing you", covid wasn't killing people, top down covid protocols were including overdosing ppl on midazolam
There was certain amount of 'fear ta tics' involved.We have a particulaly weak government who simply followed the herd. The 'sheep' quietly fell into line
You only have to look at the number of people, young included who still insist on wearing masks to know that it will be the same next time. Many of my friends and family only get their news from the BBC or ITV so look at me as though I have two heads when I say the lockdown was wrong.
"The vaccine was not brought in for COVID. COVID was brought in for the vaccine. Once you realise that, everything else makes sense.” Dr. Reiner Fuellmich
I've never fully understood why some people will ignore the opinion of many thousands of doctors but believe the very few with a different opinion; the psychology regarding conspiracy theory belief is fascinating and reveals that the cognitive functions of human brains, although still not fully understood, relies on the recognition of patterns. Having said that, many psychologists are also doctors so won't be believed by the very people who need to take heed.
Don't be so ignorant, most british people were more than happy to be paid to stay at home and constantly have time off whenever they had a runny nose, it was a minority that openly said it was bullshit from that start, everyone else was complicit, general population and government alike.
We were too trusting, but we’ve been psy opped for 150 years, my dear. All the Anglos need taking down or we’d stop them in their evil tracks. It’s a very back handed compliment though.
I ignored all of the ones we had. But I have no doubt at all that if they are brought in again, the proles will mostly go along with them once again. So long as the propaganda is right.
They will happen again(sadly). They won't be called lockdowns, but I can see them getting used for all sorts of things - mainly the climate change agenda.
Peter was right with so many things over the last 3 years. H e was right about the financial damages too from the lockdowns. Keep speaking out Peter, we appreciate it.
Mr Hitchens is bang on as usual. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but even on the stuff I disagree with, he is mightily convincing and gets me thinking and considering my own opinion. Even 2 years on, it's still weird seeing him talk with MG. It's like having Einstein talk with Kim Kardashian!
I think Mike and Peter know full well that the chances of governments all over making the same mistakes at the same time while ignoring the plans for a health emergency which were already in place is totally ludicrous.
Not so long ago the local Bobby knew who all the scrotes were and where they hung out, most anti social behaviour is carried out by the same few individuals over and over again .
As much as I like the both of these guys I think they are being far to reasonable for our current situation. We are under complete and total assault from all sides including from within by global forces who want to render us mute, dumb financial slaves. These two are being far too soft with their words, id like to see a little more conviction and backbone from two men like this.
They are speaking inside the Overton window - the window of acceptable media discourse. They said absolutely nothing about what is really going on or why any of this happened or where it goes next. Nothing of any real significance was said here in order that everything can continue. I think the pair of them are far too locked into the media and narrative to see anything other than ‘politicians making their usual mistakes.’ Which of course this wasn’t.
They've both been like this for years. They are very much against the lockdowns, but don't entertain the idea that it could have been anything other than government incompetence.
Peter Hitcens should have been knighted ( rather than twitty) ,Lord Sumption should have been raised the the rank of Viscount, Ferguson should be made to pay his pensions towards the nation's debt also Susan Michie and CAGE should, by now, have been consigned to the dustbin of history.
Our spineless judges won't imprison criminals who kick people's heads like footballs. But I bet if you tracked down one of these criminals to their dirty hovel and did the exact same thing back to them, the judge would imprison you for the maximum time possible. Why need to question why this is.
I remember you MIKE GRAHAM giving Peter a real hard time when you were following the WHO Directive on the virus. Thank goodness you say sense at TALK TV to change your position and realise the narrative was incorrect!
Ahem: it wasn't "A Mistake" ... it was the confluence of vested interests (money, power, ideology) coming together to exploit the situation. It's no accident that safe local shops were forced to close (the sort where you seldom encounter a couple of other customers) yer supermarkets (shuffling round for an hour in the presence of hundreds of others) were open. Small shops are anarchic . global corporates are better political donors.
The TV hyped up the threat with dramatic images from Italy. Government, panicked by the thought of the same images being on UK TV, totally over-reacted. Such is the peril of being media-driven as a government. It's unsurprising that "scientists" (sic) having nothing to lose from wild over-caution, would still have us locked down today if they could.
So true. As much as I enjoy seeing Doris (sic) and CockInHand (also sic) being hung out, it is "Unbalanced" and "Shitty" and Pantsdown Ferguson who deserve opprobrium over this stupidity. And the less said about that rancid communist Susan Michie the better.
If you watch the footage you will see it is the same group of ambulances run over and over again a TV cut and paste if you will, check every 8th ambulance, it's the same one!
With a mortality rate above the average mortality rate we took a very grave and unforced error with pushing the MRNA on young healthy folk. Death rates should be down after a pandemic, they are up and significantly up in all ages with no desire to ask why.
Agree with Peter mostly but there is a reason police officers work in pairs… same as soldiers on manoeuvres. It’s watching all corners and the other’s back. In larger cities or somewhere with gang activity or above average knife crime then it is very easy to incapacitate or kill a lone officer when they are against what is essentially a pack of wolves. No officer would feel particularly safe armed as they are walking certain areas of London alone. And no, I also don’t believe in arming our regular officers with firearms either. But, small teams is essential and effective outside of sleepy Cumbrian villages, and Oxford (which incidentally isn’t always like an episode of Morse).
How do you think the public feel having to walk the same streets? Police are armed, have body armour, have back up just a call away. The police meanwhile just work for payments from companies, ignore the plebs. Protect the elite. If you are a peasant, just hand over your cash, take the punishment, accept the crime.
@@Nickle314no they aren’t armed equivalently to what they sometimes will need to deal with. They have a retractable baton, taser and sometimes a form of CS or pepper spray. All require to be in reaching distance of the assailants by which time it’s too late .. especially vs multiple opposition against you in a pack and you’re alone. All of which aren’t ostensibly lethal - for good reason - and the members of the ‘public’ who would fancy their chances against those items would and do.. and often with knives in certain parts of many cities. I’m saying have patrols, but smartly for all parties.
@@Alex-mj5dv The public have nothing. I think we should be armed. We should have things like farbgel, with in built cameras. If you see someone committing an offence, then you can spray them red. The camera records it. The gun is for self defence when the criminal doesn't like being red faced. The reason comes back to an hour ago. I asked two officers to deal with illegal motorbikes being driven on the pavement, at pedestrians. They just said I'm not talking and walked off. Rude as hell. I suspect its down to my success with complaints. So that's another one added to the list.
I don't believe any government will be able to convince people to behave in such an irrational manner again - at least for a generation. In July 2020 the government allowed camping so I duly went camping in Hay on Wye. At this time no masks were required in Wales when entering a shop. The Cooperative store in Hay is actually in England, about 100 yards from Hay Bridge, where masks were required. A few months later I visited Hay again, this time masks were obligatory in Welsh Hay but no mask was required in the Coop which was over the border in England. If anybody can explain to me that this was a rational response to a disease I will be surprised. A bunch of ill informed politicians playing with our lives is more likely.
A friend of mine who worked at the time for Royal Berkshire Hospital told me how many C19 patients there were in the hospital that day (sometime in April 2020). There were 4. Yes, a mere 4. And for that we locked down.
1700 saved lives apparently who wud all have been deceased within max 2/3 yrs anyway or much sooner. How many deaths due 2 not treating heart conditions & cancer etc half a million. So did lockdowns cause half a million deaths? Or more?
I’m not entirely sure that they do. So far into the MSM narrative and it’s Overton window of acceptable discourse that they really don’t look any deeper.
@@rogerwoodhouse7945 the people acted out of self preserving selfishness because they believed (without evidence but only trust in authority) that there was a major threat. They’ll do the same again.
Went to work with family and knew it was bollocks, nobody in our family died and better still nobody in Downing street died according to FOI request. 🙂 Mugged off for a disease of elderly.
Mike seems to have completely forgotten that he was one of these extremely pro lockdown loons at the beginning. In fact, that was the whole reason Hitchens started coming on his show in the first place to have quite heated debates with him!
I can still remember tv programs like Dixon of Dock Green...it was all about policing on foot...we had that years ago all local police mostly on foot ..it worked
Ah, if only we were governed by blunt sausages such as Hitchens instead of the ''intellectually razor sharp'' people such as those who fill the seats in the House of Commons. Give me common sense over the ''intellectually razor sharp'' any day.
I worked with Gary Newlove at Hall Motors in Warrington, he was a good bloke. No one deserves that which he received from disgusting scum that had no business damaging property!
We have allowed a lot of different cultures, some good some not so, into our country. Everything has changed. Our law needs to adapt to this unfortunately. Multiculturalism throughout history has a parallel war. Good luck kids.
All sounds good but who would join the police 'service' to patrol the streets on foot.? Thatb not why anyone joins.Its just another career which offers other opportunities of climbing the greasy pole.Walking the strret is considered 'degrading'!
Thank you Peter for being one of the few people expressing a sensible opinion during the lockdown madness. So many of us knew you were right but so few spoke up.

Huge respect for Mr Hitchens for speaking out right at the start
It was not a "mistake" - it was a tactic
right. They knew from the Spanish flu in the beginning of the 1900's that neither lockdowns nor masks help, on the contrary..
Here's an interesting timeline of events leading up to the pandemic:
Sept 2019: The shadowbanking community starts to become uneasy at the prospect of a global financial crash. Blackrock advise that additional cash is pumped into central banks but not into the 'real' economy of transactions/ retail etc which would lead to hyperinflation.

It's giving the perps an ''out".
It had no effect on SAVING LIVES but had a HUGE effect on LIVES BEING LOST.
You're right, ofc. But you'd be wasting your breath trying to make that point to the legions of dupes who went along with it all and still to this day probably actually believe they are noble and have saved lives.
It was an obvious disaster to anyone not a total simpleton

1700 saved lives apparently who wud all have been deceased within max 2/3 yrs anyway or much sooner. How many deaths due 2 not treating heart conditions & cancer etc half a million. So did lockdowns cause half a million deaths? Or more?
I miss Christopher 😢
boring
Peter is better
Poor little thing. One day perhaps you'll get over it.
What about the legal migration 700,000 last year
It wasn't a mistake and you both know that.
It was a collosal mistake but the 'sheep' fell for it.
I’m not entirely sure that they do. So far into the MSM narrative and it’s Overton window of acceptable discourse that they really don’t look any deeper.
@@rogerwoodhouse7945 the people acted out of self preserving selfishness because they believed (without evidence but only trust in authority) that there was a major threat. They’ll do the same again.
@@Jacob-yb6bv look up Yuri bezmenov! ...And you'll understand everything that's happening worldwide! especially Britain. How to brainwash a country.
Went to work with family and knew it was bollocks, nobody in our family died and better still nobody in Downing street died according to FOI request. 🙂 Mugged off for a disease of elderly.
I noticed that LBC seemed to complete drop Peter Hitchens during the pandemic. It was as though he was no longer acceptable.
Not sure about the Stone age. We are living in the Stoned age..lol
what a man !!!
WELL TORIES WERE TO BLAME FOR THAT
Mike seems to have completely forgotten that he was one of these extremely pro lockdown loons at the beginning. In fact, that was the whole reason Hitchens started coming on his show in the first place to have quite heated debates with him!
They’ve all forgotten what they did and/or blamed others. Haven’t they?
@@Jacob-yb6bv completely
When do we who protested against them get our apology
I wish people would stop saying this was a mistake. We already know it was planned because most of the world knows about Event 201.
Grave mistake my arse ! Planned more like !
Greatest over reaction in human history. Bar none.
All that took part in this fraud should go to jail !!
Misbehave is such a lame word for acts of violence and criminal behavior and murder. Children misbehave.
It used to be general knowledge that "police on the streets" keeps crime low.
No mention of current excess deaths?
We shat it when we seen what was happening in Italy and Spain
What is the Covid-related mortality for non-elderly persons with no comorbidities??
About 0.1 % seems accurate.
Not a mistake if its planned, then it becomes a success.
Where did Peter say he grew up, Alverstoke, Gosport?
Hitchens should do the voice for Lord of the rings audio book, he’s got a great voice.
Morning! Both Hitchens brothers talked a lot of sense.
I can still remember tv programs like Dixon of Dock Green...it was all about policing on foot...we had that years ago all local police mostly on foot ..it worked
'Mistake'
I'm very confused by Hitchens. He seems OK but..... there's something off. He's not intellectually razor sharp - more like a blunt sausage.
He lost credibility when he got jabbed in order to travel
Ah, if only we were governed by blunt sausages such as Hitchens instead of the ''intellectually razor sharp'' people such
as those who fill the seats in the House of Commons. Give me common sense over the ''intellectually razor sharp'' any day.
@@johnday6392 Fine. But is what he says right? John Sweeney thinks otherwise, maybe.
Sharper than you I suspect....
@@abstract33 what does the John Hopkins report say?
Pretty much what Hitchen’s was suggesting over 3 years ago.
Of course TH-cam still has to have a banner linking to the "current NHS guidance"...🙄
Not we, the government, in fact almost every government. You could see from space we were being sold a crock
I didn't.
they haven't been held to account for Op Midland
What do you call the director of Reservoir Dogs when he tests positive for Covid-19? Quentin Quarantino!!! Lolol! Oh mercy...
Was it not intentional rather than a mistake?
alverstoke in gosport not portsmouth!
I worked with Gary Newlove at Hall Motors in Warrington, he was a good bloke. No one deserves that which he received from disgusting scum that had no business damaging property!
We have allowed a lot of different cultures, some good some not so, into our country. Everything has changed. Our law needs to adapt to this unfortunately. Multiculturalism throughout history has a parallel war. Good luck kids.
Yeah to those who worship money, Health over wealth
Wow who knew 🤷♂️. Except for us free thinking conspiracy theorist anti vaxxers !
Um Duhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Hear hear about the police
Can I hear really laboured breathing in the background?
All sounds good but who would join the police 'service' to patrol the streets on foot.? Thatb not why anyone joins.Its just another career which offers other opportunities of climbing the greasy pole.Walking the strret is considered 'degrading'!
