It takes less than 30 seconds to stop any subscription charge on the Apple App or on Revolut Bank. We don’t need a PM to make that easier for us. His refusal to even attempt to stop the boats is ridiculous.
Charlie Downes makes one little comment that is objectively true (that the Jewish lobby has enormous power in British politics) and how does the Jewish press respond to counter this?
By…. writing 10 hit pieces about him in less than two days. Yeah, not really helping your case there, guys.
I've seen this clip many times, now, and Peter Hitchens' lucidity and sincerity never ceases to resonate. He is the one sane man in a madhouse of liberals, trying desperately to get them to understand that our problems are self-made and the system we have created is destroying something not only precious but irreplaceable.
Naturally, nobody understood him, and so he is not so much a posh Nostradamus but instead an English Cassandra, doing everything to raise the alarm but forever cursed to cast his pearls before swine.
One can feel the desperation in his presentation. When they accuse him of, in fact, hating Britain it becomes clear that they have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Tragic, frankly.
Tax deductions for private healthcare is an obviously sensible policy, and the only reason we don't do it already is purely because of ideology.
Remember when Starmer said he would refuse to take a sick relative to private care if the waiting lists were too long, because "I don't use private health... The NHS is in my DNA"?
Politicians have the same relationship with the NHS that some Soviet Gulag inmates Solzhenitsyn wrote about had with the Communist Party. They will gaslight themselves into undying loyalty to the institution even when it causes them and their loved ones to suffer.
"Going private" is a vote of no-confidence in the NHS, tantamount to blasphemy. For the mythology of the NHS to persist, private healthcare must be punished.
Britain is a madhouse.
After the week my wife has had, I don't blame them.
Recent hires have a poor grasp of English, lack compassion, are incompetent, frequently found to have fraudulent qualifications, and are responsible for the rise in NHS medical malpractice payouts.
Wanting a nurse to understand your illness isn't "racism", it's a basic requirement for treatment. I'd rather be "racist" than dead.
Across England, about 1,000 historic churches are in need of repair.
The Church of England is planning to spend £100 million on slavery reparations.
Let's scrap this divisive nonsense, and spend the money on preserving our national heritage instead.
The head writer and showrunner of “She-Hulk” was Jessica Gao. She was best known for being the credited writer on the “Pickle Rick” episode of “Rick and Morty.”
During the production of that episode, “Rick and Morty” showrunner Dan Harmon cast Susan Sarandon as the family’s therapist, a character Gao had named Dr. Wong in the script. Gao crashed out over the casting of a white actor for this part. In 2018 this was a major transgression and as an act of contrition, Harmon did a podcast with Gao called “Whiting Wongs,” which is 40 hours of him apologizing and learning about racism.
The writer credit on the Pickle Rick episode and this podcast raised Gao’s profile enough for her to land the showrunner gig on Marvel’s Disney+ “She-Hulk” show, but the production was extremely troubled. In addition to not staffing lawyers or legal-drama writers on the show who could deliver on the “Ally McBeal in the MCU” pitch, the “She-Hulk” show required — as described by Gao in interviews — an extraordinary level of direct personal involvement and micromanagement from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
Gao described her relationship with Feige as supportive and collaborative, but she also describes him routinely intervening to reshape the show in the wake of catastrophic test audiences responses.
In the finale episode, She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall of her show, climbs through the Disney+ UI and confronts a robot named K.E.V.I.N. that has been controlling her life. Feige allowed this, but Gao wanted to put a baseball cap on the robot like the one Feige wears, and that was a bridge too far for him. According to an interview Gao gave The Hollywood Reporter, she threatened to resign if the robot could not wear the hat, and Feige immediately accepted her resignation. A visual designer managed to mediate the dispute by incorporating a “hat-like element” into the robot’s design.
The show was cancelled after the first season, the cast has been released, none of its events have been referenced in any other Marvel productions and “She-Hulk” star Tatiana Maslany is not in “Avengers: Doomsday.” Jessica Gao has no IMDB credits since “She-Hulk” was cancelled in 2022.
