I was bullied and assaulted in all the schools I went to; by the teachers. Was told that I would never amount to anything. Went on the gain three university degrees in psychiatry and a Cert Ed, so ended up more highly educated than them.
Yeah the woke brigade ..running everything ... You can't swim in a bath of your own mucus these days and sicking up on a bathroom carpet in the shape of a swastika without some woke people saying "don't do that "
Great show Mike. I have never understood why we changed the teaching curriculum from my days in school in the 1960-70's. Grammer schools to concentrate on developing the highly intelligent. Secondary modern for those os us less academically able. The cane as a deterant for unacceptable behaviour. Now look at the mess the left wing woke have created. I shall look forward to watching the head teacher program on itv.
Yeah, notice how he seems to nod along with Peter on things like the Ukraine vs. Russia conflict, but once he is gone, he is back to the usual media headline : "Putin is bad man. We must bomb Russia" - a rather simplistic and one-sided take that sadly, the rest of the media has taken.
Yep, indeed he is.. I usually find what people like Hitchens are annoyed by most of all is that people are listening less and less to them, and are listening a bit more to the people that they marginalised..
Malta is a beautiful and good place, with a strong culture of civility, kindness and quiet pride. Sadly much afflicted now by EU-induced corruption. Malta wanted integration into the UK as an overseas territory in the late 1950s, with Dom Mintoff as PM. The British government stupidly refused to embrace Malta as an equal part of the UK. And so Malta chose independence in the face of this disgraceful disrespect. A tragedy of British error.
@@TonyFarrugiaStrongman Thank you, sir. I still feel shame, anger, and regret about my country's treatment of yours in that act of arrogant, ignorant ingratitude. And very grateful for the warm friendliness, in spite of that, on my frequent stays in Malta over the past 40 years. I am always sad to have to leave. You say a "tiny country". Greatness does not depend on size. You can be proud of your great country. I find it hard to be proud of modern Britain, in which there so much more loutish rudeness, selfishness, and weird ways of thinking. People are not thneir governments, and Malta is a much kinder, more civil place these days.
I have done some research on these two and found that Peter Hitchens is definitely a columnist for the Mail on Sunday but there is no independent republic of Mike Graham.
I still don't understand what that was ever meant to mean... Just seemed like a bunch of old whingers who didn't much like the fact that they couldn't bully anyone anymore for being black or gay or something...
Lets look at a FACT . The fact is any sane person would wish that nuclear weapons had never been invented ...but they were. America,Britain and Russia pursuaded Ukraine to give up its 1,000 + nuclear weapons .FACT two is that America or any other country has never invaded a country WITH nuclear weapons. That is because of M.A.D. which hs worked for now [but no guarantees] i suspect that a war with Russia may have taken place after WW2 if not for the invention of nuclear weapons and time ran out looking for an excuse to attack Russia once it developed its own nuclear bomb not long after America. Now the bloody things are with us we must learn to live with such horror because the people will not tell the nuclear elite powers to give up their toys .Do not forget C.N.D. marched for decades and achieved absolute zero in fact more countries have nuclear weapons now and more desire them than during the C.N.D. protests. The elite think in very unusual ways and they hold many secrets they wish the people not to know. Looking from their perspective i would indeed consider living on another planet [Moon most likely]which of course would be for the elite. Wake up people you have no idea what they are capable of.
There is a possibility that as we are living in very troubled times events could take place that would need the government in power to introduce draconian measure.The event could be civil unrest but it would have to be on a large enough scale to introduce marshal law [has been done in many countries] we would be told all will return to normal when the issue is under control.But the introduction of marshal law would cause civil unrest in itself hence a more permanent change to our laws. Croydon was partly burnt down without the need for marshal law but times are changing and politicians more frenzied about keeping power and with the gun and knife crime,endless illegal imigrants, possible national strike, recession or even a depression on the way Britain could see a far right government as in a number of countries in Europe.
BIll Of Rights, 1689 gives us freedom of expression.SOD these modern laws that restrict what we say, ignore racist laws, we have never had thee others in our past. Same with the homosexual laws.
Exactly some normal working class bloke asked him last week where he went to school and MG replied.....I went to a grammar school in Kensington.....😂 bet he's never had a deep fried mars bar in his life....although.....🤔
What Peter Hitchens said was he personally believed that Putin wouldn't invade the Ukraine and if he did that he'd be "stark raving mad to do so" which has proven to be quite an apt summation as from day one it's been a total FUBAR to use an American military rerm.
I think it's unlikely, as Putin mainly wants the Crimea back and Ukraine to be less of a threat to Russia. My only worry though - is if Finland and Sweden do join NATO, then Putin could see that as an act of aggression against him - and then could give him the excuse to invade.
We've had this trope before. As far as I remember, what Hitchens actually said was something along the lines of "I don't say that Putin will NOT invade, only that he would show himself to be stark-staring mad if he did so"
On the one hand, the West says Putin is bogged down and bleeding money, armaments and casualties in Ukraine. On the other, they panic that he’s going to invade the rest of Europe!
And all this advice from a guy who bangs on about our rights being eroded and he caved when the text came through to have the jab because he said he needed to see his parents, even though he knew it was all messed up coercion and criminal.......i can't take him seriously
freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to break the law. so you can't say racist things. but people who are against freedom of speech just hate dissent and can't stand people having views they don't agree with.
@@simondebeer9917 Freedom of speech does encompass the right to say all sorts of vile drivel like racism. The laws against saying racist things are infact a violation of the rights of man.
