7 years in prison for speaking out against things your government disapproves of including things spoken in your own family home is terrifying. I live in U.S. and can feel this nightmare coming here too.

One issue I take with Ms McLatchie-Miller is the use of the term 'gender'. This term, like 'feminine' or 'masculine' has no place outside a book of grammar. Biological entities do not have a gender. They have a sex - female or male. This is *determined* at fertilisation and cannot be changed. Please do not talk about 'extreme gender ideology'. There is no NON-extreme 'gender' ideology.

Great show as always! Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of GOD. It is impossible not to fall in love with JESUS when you persevere in reading the bible, especially the gospel. So go and keep going to anyone that is on the fence like Evan. Ask GOD for HIM to bring some born again believers into your life to help you know HIM in Spirit and Truth and your heart will be on fire for love, peace, joy, wisdom and justice! JESUS is the way the truth and the life and freedom is found in no other name 🥳

I believe a flat tax would solve a lot of issues of the UK. It'd put an end to the middle class subsidizing the living costs of the lower-class (also putting an end to government hand-feeding the poor with the wealth of the middle class) and would allow the middle class to have their own kids. It makes the UK a less attractive option for unskilled immigration too and also makes it harder for those who live in london on government welfare to remain there (aka they'd go home). Combine this with immigration reform (such as prioritising migrants with native heritage, introducing an annual immigration cap anchored to the current population and deporting non-citizen criminals) and a heartbeat abortion bill and you're well on your way to saving Britain.

[@msmrepo3271]

The answer to your title for this great video is right there. Its our Constitution, yes we do have one and it binds legislators. They cannot make any legislation that is repugnant to superior Law, Parliament tell us thier definition of Law and its our birthright. They have no authority to stop us expressing vis speech or any other methods and the courts have to check the legality of the Act. Parliamentary sovereignty is a theory. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny and is illogical and factually plainly wrong. The rule of law is supreme

[@shempshempleton4746]

@@msmrepo3271 Not so. It's actually the opposite. My point is this: we can complain all we want that those in power are acting in an "unlawful" manner, but that has never stopped them. They regularly make legislation that is repugnant to superior Law and courts uphold the "unlawful" acts. So what exactly are you saying people should do to prevent their birthright from being taken? BTW, I'm not trying to cause a problem, I'm trying to learn what your plan of action is :)

[@msmrepo3271]

@@shempshempleton4746 No its nice to talk about these things, no offense taken. I don't really have a plan of action. Maybe to keep putting the truth out in the hope more people will take note. You are right about courts and Judges walking over our rights. I know people and myself to a certain extent, but I know people who use this ? Lawful truth and had success. I believe these things have been educated out of people, from judges to your common man. Mary starts work Jane says this is how we do it, over time and with exploitation from authority ect and especially in legal land little bits get missed out and we end up with things being done wrong, due process is one example. I know people challenging Council tax and have a court order for the Council to prove liability also a liability order set aside. During this journey challenging Council tax a lot has been learned about the "law" and processes. The Councils and magistrates have had a few shocks during this. We have also had people in power that have protected these constitutional principles. Class action case Maybe like the mortgage challenge. I'm nobody but like the main contributor to the Bill of Rights said after it was finished told the world " This is your inheritance, every home should have a copy, every child should be taught it, I like to think i have made a few people look into it.

I struggle with my religion because the church doesn't speak about the awful things being done by all our governments. Especially with regards to what is being done to the continent of Africa, it feels like we are repeating our original crimes perpetrated against Africa. Everyone is busy land grabbing for the minerals etc over there as we speak... under the guise of "green" projects. Look at the African Parks scandal that is ongoing and unaddressed. If it isn't spoken about then we are complicit.

There is only one way to stop the total destruction and replacement of the indigenous population of the UK and that is to form a new political party on the "hard" lines of the BNP. Without the strength, courage and complete and total determination to get our country and our futures back, drastic measures will have to be put in place and millions of people will have to completely support these measures. The time for the velvet glove approach has long past and would not work now because time is fast running out before we become a minority in our own country.

Reason is the application of logic - the art or skill of non-contradictory identification - to one’s observations of reality. Truths are mental grasps of facts of reality. Truths are held in mental awareness; facts exist out there in reality. Faith is belief in the absence of evidence or in spite of evidence to the contrary. Proof is the derivation of a conclusion from the direct or indirect evidence of the senses. The notion of an all-creative God - a God that created all that exists (apart from itself) from non-existence - is self-contradictory, and therefore irrational and unprovable. Because belief in an all-creative God is irrational it requires an act of faith. To claim as true the existence of an all-creative God is both irrational and nonsensical.

[@geoffas]

Explain the origin of the universe/reality as you believe it. The notion of a universe just appearing out of nothingness is equally as silly/possible as the God hypothesis, imo.

[@user-xy8wo4zx1x]

@@geoffas “The notion of a universe just appearing out of nothingness is equally as silly/possible as the God hypothesis.” Neither notion/hypothesis is possible; both are equally silly. That the universe - the sum of all that exists - exists is both self-evident and undeniable. To ask, however, for an origin of the universe is to presume that the universe requires an origin. It does not. Note well that all origins - all beginnings (and all endings) - occur in time. Time is a measure of motion or change - that is, the motion or change of material entities that exist, move and change. Time is, therefore, in the universe; the universe is not in time. All origins, therefore, occur in the universe. The universe as a whole cannot have an origin. The only alternative to existence is non-existence - that is, nothing (no thing) or nothingness. Do not fall into the trap of automatically reifying nothingness - that is, assuming it to be a special type of something, for it is not. ‘Nothing’ means non-existence, the complete absence of existence. By what logic and by what means can existence be caused by non-existence? The universe - existence as a whole - was not caused; it simply is. Existence as a whole is at the base of all causal chains.

[@user-xy8wo4zx1x]

@@geoffasConsciousness requires an object. To be conscious is to be conscious of something - something in existence. A consciousness with nothing to be conscious of is a contradiction in terms, for in reality it would be no consciousness at all. All knowledge is derived from reality - that is, from that which exists. Now try to imagine an all-creative thing of pure consciousness - let us call it God - before its miraculous creation ex nihilo of the universe. With nothing in existence to perceive, and therefore nothing from which to form concepts, what would be God’s knowledge content? Well, it would be no knowledge content whatsoever. But a consciousness with nothing to be conscious of, and therefore no knowledge content, is a contradiction in terms, for in reality it would be no consciousness at all. In this manner is the notion of an all-creative God invalidated. Note well that self-consciousness - self-awareness - requires the turning in of consciousness upon itself in order to observe mentally its own cognitive processes and methods - that is, its own thinking. And the ultimate source of all of the material of thinking, including that of imagination, is reality. Thus, a consciousness with nothing beyond itself to be conscious of would be incapable of self-consciousness - self-awareness. In reality it would be no consciousness at all.

"The ultimate question is what do you serve". No, the ultimate question is what physically exists. If the being you call 'god' exists. If you have no evidence then you have no justification for using the word 'truth'.

[@geoffas]

The God hypothesis makes as much sense as any hypothesis that you can present.

[@MoranM]

@@geoffas No it doesn't, because there is no physical evidence for a god and neither does the god hypothesis explain anything - it's just another word for "I don't know". For example, "god created the universe". Well, how exactly? What mechanism, what forces were employed? What is the evidence for these mechanisms or forces? Without that evidence 'god' is just a made up word and, as I say, a pseudonym for "I don't know".

[@geoffas]

@@MoranM We're agreeing here. What were the mechanisms which lead to the 'Big Bang'? We don't know. So, asking exactly what mechanism a god employed before the universe existed is We don't know. Thank God, I'm agnostic! LOL

[@MoranM]

@@geoffas The 'big bang' is simply a backwards extrapolation which, true, leaves the question of what happened at 'time = zero' open. But that's why other theories are being explored. For example, Inflation Theory' assumes a so-called 'scalar field' which provides a mechanism for explaining the current size & content of the universe. Of course you could - and should - ask 'where did the scalar field come from'. And that leads you to an inevitable point where any explanation of the universe has to start with an assumption, but not all assumptions are equal. Some are simple, explain a huge amount about the universe and are consistent with observation. Some (e.g. 'god') are inordinately complex for no good reason, don't really explain anything, and have no experiments or repeatable/verifiable observations that specifically and uniquely point to a 'god's existence. Hence why I disagree with you that the 'god hypothesis' is as good as any other.

[@user-xy8wo4zx1x]

@@geoffasThe universe is the sum of all that exists. Time is a measure of motion or change - the motion or change of material entities that exist within the universe. Therefore time is in the universe; the universe is not in time. The universe is outside of time; it is eternal. The time-related concepts ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘beginning’ and ‘ending’ are applicable only to events within the universe. There was no ‘before’ the universe, and there will be no ‘after’ the universe. The universe did not ‘begin’ and it will not ‘end’. The universe simply is. The universe - the sum of all that exists - is theorised to have ‘begun’ as a so-called singularity that somehow gave rise to a so-called Big Bang, at which time the universe is theorised to have ‘expanded’ rapidly. My question for you is this: Into what did the universe ‘expand’?
