Peter Hitchens' Half Hour | 14-November-22

[@talktv]

Are New Labour to blame for weakening police powers?

[@nawaz345]

Lolll the tories have been in power for 12 years - get over it. Talk radio just seems like it gets its talking points directly from the cabinet. Pathetic, feckless and embarrassing media organisation.

[@youngoldboy3430]

They're to blame for nearly everything bad that's happening to this country.

[@SJ-np4cz]

At this stage, I genuinely don’t care about what New Labour did. The ‘Conservatives’ have had over a decade to reverse this revolution. At this stage, they’re complicit.

[@davehallett810]

All labour ever talk about is Trans, racism and Britain's colonial past. It does get boring after a while 😔

[@hittitecharioteer]

Blair and Mark Malloch-Brown are very active in their patronage of Common Purpose - and therein is where you'll find the answer to that question.

[@colinpumpernickel2605]

I love it when Peter laughs. He rarely does so you know it's genuine.

[@SagaciousFrank]

@A. Fox , 😂

[@sp610]

@A. Fox (Guitarman) Now you've pointed that out it is really annoying! 😂

[@mike-lo4rt]

Always look forward to Hitchens half hour.

[@SagaciousFrank]

Inaptly named, 20 minutes.

[@larrydavid2071]

Peter seems to find the most natural chemistry with Kevin OSullivan. I have watched him in many many settings, and this is one of the most comfortable I've seen him. Either that or Peter was simply in a jolly mood.

[@iandocherty5401]

Yes Larry, Peter is not often in a jolly mood but always very interesting 👍

[@SwissCheese112]

Yeah i agree, it feels slightly forced with graham

[@SagaciousFrank]

Yeah I've noticed he's a bit more relaxed with Kevin, but I've noticed that Graham has learned to discuss with Hitchens better than he did originally.

[@richard4796]

Graham doesn't discuss. He interrupts.

[@DankyKang96]

The chemistry between these two is much better 👌🏻

[@davehallett810]

I thought Peter was great last night on GB news when he said "when are the British people going to realise that they have no friends in Westminster" perfectly put Peter the government both labour and conservative are not for the British people anymore 😔

[@hittitecharioteer]

🎯 Peter displays a clarity of thought that is rare in this age. I watched the interview; the guest (Matthew) appeared comparably unread. Peter is usually accurate in his information and plausible in his deductive powers.

[@davehallett810]

@@hittitecharioteer It was also good when he said "the two corpse parties" and he's correct, there's nobody worth voting for.... choosing between labour and conservative is like voting for your favourite disease 🤔

[@SagaciousFrank]

Anyone who's been paying attention knows he's been saying this for a long time.

[@hittitecharioteer]

@@davehallett810 I think any sentient individual realised that by the time Cameron became PM? Like many, I await what Reform might do. Richard Tice seems a decent man; Macron, Trump and Giorgia Meloni proves there's huge open territory for the taking by someone with the guts to stick their neck out and get the people behind them? Tice needs to offer a brave manifesto. But with a wrecked economy and Common Purpose running literally "everything" (from the two main political parties to civil service, local government, quangos and public sector contractors) I see little that offers us hope. Finally the FPTP voting system is against new parties. But the general population remains broadly conservative. So the resentment builds.

[@davehallett810]

@@SagaciousFrank I think Douglas Murray is great as well. I've read his books they're a real eye opener...

[@davidkaye8712]

As an average Englishman, I no longer recognise, feel at home nor welcome in my country of birth.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

You aren't. You are a second class citizen now

[@trevaudio]

Karma David !!!

[@seanmoran2743]

1914 😢

[@theralphster8492]

You're not alone, I despise our politicians from the last 20 years.

[@goodyeoman4534]

Sadly, it's over. If the bombing of hundreds of children in Manchester didn't spark a fightback, nothing will.

[@amandaowen5091]

Hitchens is brilliant.

[@ccdg175]

WE LOVE HITCHENS!

[@royferguson2297]

Kevin lets him speak unlike the other guy.

[@richard4796]

Agree

[@trevaudio]

The french do hold all the cards in this…..Hitchens for once is right, they’re a far more proud nation than England !

[@SwissCheese112]

And far less afraid to speak about immigration

[@burgesspark685]

1984 was written as a novel - not an instruction book !

[@seanmoran2743]

It was written as a warning for the public and those elites who would listen

[@robertstewart239]

What happened at 11:57? Was it censored?

[@ThePierre58]

Recently watched an episode of " Dixon of Dock Green". Its from a different planet, never mind the era.

[@royferguson2297]

We were supposed to be in an ice age by now.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Including Emily Thornberry's husband Lord Justice Nugee

[@josephlennon8475]

Let's hope and pray Emily Thornberry's old man has a bit more intellect than her. She has shown, in many tv appearances that there is simply nothing up top.

[@earlcollins9310]

Why would the French want to keep them !! And what happens to those caught trying to escape ? There will be quite a few rich policemen in France !!

[@robsol123]

I watched that interview with that indigo rumbalow woman on from think it was just stop oil couldn’t stop laughing 😂 talk about categorising people/judging a book by its cover 😂😂👍👍 couldn’t get a better person to represent them kind of people 😂😂😂👍

[@tonedeftonytv1047]

Gunboats in the Channel might work, but sadly we can't make those kind of suggestions, as they might want to open fire, and that wouldn't be allowed these days. Not allowed to express my opinion on that though.

[@twig3288]

Stop Border Force and RNLI from providing a ferry service and any illegals that make to UK shores should be held in detention until they can prove that they were not safe in France. They would soon get bored and ask to go back.

[@royferguson2297]

Climate change is ... The Weather.

[@barrylongstaff9614]

I’m leaving this country at the first Opportunity, I’ve got 2 years to get my private pension, sell my assets then that’s it. Blair’s labour started the damage and it’s continued at a pace since

[@mfjflower]

Be a skeptic.. and read the iterature!

[@KidMillions]

Peter Hitchens quote-tweeted me once, but it wasn't to agree with me.

[@danhoppy5517]

Bullets are cheaper than hotel rooms! Marines and Paras on the South coast could have some target practice.

[@Bad_Gnasher]

Would be an excellent political advisors

[@cellbiologyshorts9105]

Murdoch Money

[@hittitecharioteer]

Common. Purpose. See how difficult it is to websearch this organisation.

[@jamesn151]

ok well good news for you one of his sons is super liberal so you won't be complaining forever

[@nockianlifter661]

Rights - individual rights, not communist ‘human rights’ are inalienable. They are a value based on man’s need as a living rational entity for values . The primary value is life, existence- and only in the face of for non-existence. Man must act to gain values necessary for his continued existence and this is common to all men. In order to act he must be free to act. In order to produce values to maintain that existence he must have the right ti consume, or utilise those values as he sees fit. Thus we have the rights of life, liberty and property. Finally, what is the moral aim of a man’s existence if is not the possibility of his own happiness-thus we need to right to pursue happiness. These rights are common to all men and are not rights for other men to provide, but are rights against the use of force. The right to your life is the right for no one to interfere with your life and for you not to interfere with anyone else’s life.

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

How about treating the boat people no better than the french do? Will that not work?

[@jan-olofharnvall8760]

When did twenty minute’s and som second’s become an half hour 🧐

[@spinynormanbest6410]

Inflation innit

[@anthonybartlett6924]

peter is totally wrong. once a migrant crosses a safe country they become an economic migrant & can be returned 1992 immigration act. it just needs the political will to enforce the act. the act supersedes all human rights law.

[@josephlennon8475]

Let's do it! As of today. You useless politicians, get off your workshy backsides and get on with it. Now!

[@garymitchell5899]

Peter disingenuously implies there was nothing before the supreme court, but of course it replaced the House of Lords court.

“No proof of climate change?! “ How do they get away with this?

[@dannybruff]

IPCC Data?

[@SwissCheese112]

They did not say no climate change they said that there is no proof it is happening because of humans. We are in an interglacial age, it makes sense that things are getting warmer.

[@justinbarber4567]

@@SwissCheese112 I guess you haven’t read about the Milankovitch cycles. Once you do, you’ll appreciate how poor your comment is.

[@SwissCheese112]

@@justinbarber4567 the earth moves, what has that got to do with humans causing global warming. milankovitch cycles are natural. its not like humans were burning gas and oil and coal when the middle east was lush jungle.

[@justinbarber4567]

@@SwissCheese112 oh dear you are tiresome and rather slow. Milankovitch cycles are directly linked to major glaciations. If you bothered to study it then you would appreciate that we should be cooling down now as per Earths natural pattern. Hence your comment, which I note you have deleted, is a poor one. Anyway, you keep telling yourself everything is OK; ignorance is bliss right.. The major issue though is, why am I even bothering with a halfwit such as yourself?
