Peter Hitchens: The UK economy is going to go over the edge 

Never before in the course of history has so many peoples lives been needlessly ruined by so few.

Why can’t we have people like Peter Hitchens running the country , I’ve lost my small business which kept me ticking over for 12 years ,just applied for universal credits , I’m 50 , going to be near impossible to get another job , this gov has trashed the uk

61 years old, lost my job. Managed to get a job in the local Supermarket but think myself lucky tbh. Feel for loads of people out there it's going to be horrendous.

I am an Englishman who has lived in Sweden for many years. I cannot believe what is happening in the country of my birth.

My friend spoke with a nurse from Lewisham hospital on Saturday and she said she does not understand, as they have 800 to 900 beds allocated to Covid and they currently have 4 patients in those beds

Gentlemen: when will you help us to see that we are in a position that mass civil disobedience is the only way to stop this madness? Many of us have lost our businesses, including me, and the solitary confinement of our old and the masking of our young.....if we don't stop this today almost nothing will be left,,

to call it incompetent is ridiculous...the world is being brought to its knees on PURPOSE.

If you can't see this is deliberate I feel sorry for you.

Its not incompetence! If we believe Johnson and Hancock have just 'messed up' i think that's very naive of us.

Our surgery has actually shut this week due to staff shortage and isolations, no doubt the receptionists have a sniffle so have to isolate for a fortnight - I don't know how this is possible seeing as they aren't taking any appointments...but hey ho... So no doctors since March and now the bloody place is shut. Madness.

The story of Peter King dying in agony as the NHS couldn't be bothered to treat him, has me boiling with rage. Glad to say i never took part in this clapping nonsense that the rest of the sheep so stupidly took to.

“A lot of people are not very bright” A truer sentence has never been uttered.

Scamdemic

If at this stage you still think it is nothing more than incompetence you will never understand until it's too late.

Hitchens is fabulous. His late brother also legendary. I love Talk Radio too. It’s the only thing keeping people sane

“Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves.” ― George Orwell

NHS staff have taken us for a ride, lets start calling it as it is, every nurse now wears their uniform everywhere to get praise 24/7, you can't see a GP, you can't see a dentist, you phone any medical facility and it's purely covid based information as you start, then it's only covid symptoms they care about. My partner's Mum was rushed in last week with stroke symptoms, the hospital was virtually empty and all the wards were for "covid" patients that magically never seem to appear. But you'll be harassed about covid every second you're there. It was always a con, it's still a con.

Ivor Cummings needs a regular slot, blows the whole thing wide open and the manipulation of data.

The broad definition of *cases* needs to be redefined in very strict and narrow terms i.e. only hospitalised and deaths only; also comorbidities excluded. Only then will we be able to paint a true picture of the massive amount of *propaganda* being constantly thrown at us. It's bloody disgraceful.

Been banging on about this for years. I'm too burnt out by the mass stupidity to care now.

Manchester leadership standing firm until they get offered money. Which suggests they weren't standing for a moral principle in the first place.

Corporation tax and revenue from the self employed is going to be minuscule next year and beyond due to government actions. The economy is going to be wiped out.

Mr Hitchens, if you still think this is just about govt incompetence, sorry to say, you're not very bright at all.

Oh, it most certainly is something else - when in history has nearly every nation on Earth acted in such a self destructive manner?

Yes, ITS ON PURPOSE FOR GODS SAKE WAKE UP

I am so thankful for Peter Hitchens' existence ✊💪

I must disagree on one point about magicking money out of nothing . . . The private banking families do it Every minute of every day

There's only so much stupidity that's realistically believable and we are now well past that point.

Wake up Mike it’s not just incompetence get some balls and say what u know 👍🏻

I pray that we may have Peter Hitchens long among us. He is a moral compass that not only Britain but the whole world needs. He has the courage and will to speak and defend his moral values and convictions. Long is the shadow stretching across the world and we need more people like him who will be intrepid in standing against the wave of ignorance and tyranny of consensus.

Peter Hitchens "you can't just magic money from nowhere". Actually Peter, that's exactly how it happens. Check the Federal Reserve.

I have stopped listening to R4 and LBC. Talk Radio is the last refuge for sanity - thank you!

Of course it's going over the edge we have idiots in charge.

If covid 19 was really a concern for the NHS, then they would have hired thousands of cleaners, where my wife works they're short staffed and they don't have any more money for new positions.

I got into my GP's. Young front desk assistant asked me , "where is your mask" I said, where is your's, she answered " I work here " so I said, and "the virus" knows that then. Corona infection isn't killing everyone like flies. Its rubbish. My MP Rosie Cooper is fast asleep lol.

Peter you are brilliant ! Your views mirror my own down to the last full stop ! I hope and pray we will eventually have your thoughts (and many more people like you ) viewed and listened to by thousands more . Thank you so much .

Peter Hitchens is a national treasure.

It is very much like a science fiction movie.

They want us to THINK its incompetence when it’s all prearranged. Order out of chaos. We are being played, played, played!

It’s not stupidity lads, it’s an obvious plan. No other logical conclusion

Found Dr's Karina Reiss and Sucharit Bhakdi's book: Corona Fasle Alarm Facts and Figures, very informative with 246 references.

Thank you Peter. ❤🙏

The Media is primarily responsible for this; it should not be forgotten.

They haven't made a mistake - they're just following orders

Still refusing to address he bigger picture. Not really much better than the BBC.

The World Economy is going over the edge!!

Just spent nearly 5 weeks in Sweden and visited Malmo and about 7 towns, I drove about 2,500km half way up Sweden. I saw probably thousands of people going in and out of shops with no masks, I saw a total of 5 masks all the time I was there. Life is normal, people rarely Social distance and I shook hands with 2 people who offered them. I stayed in a mountain hut with bunk beds with 6 people I had never met before. When walking down a path people do not step off the path like they do in rural England and are very friendly. I had my hair cut and the girl said they only closed the salon for one week in June, when Covid reached their town. Sweden was hit hard in their care homes in the first months like UK, but the mortality rate did not exceed UK's Their current 7 day moving average mortality rate from Covid is now 95% below that of the UK and is currently 50% below Denmark's, they appear to have herd immunity. In 2nd Quarter the GDP fell 7.7% as against 21.5% for the UK and 12%+ in Eurozone. Also interestingly I spoke a Swede who said Finland never lockdown and stay at home orders were not enforced in any Nordic country, it looks like there was no real lockdown or mandatory mask in shops in any Nordic country like in UK, France, Italy and Spain. The % living in urban areas is high at 88% to UK's 84% and far more live in high density housing than the UK, so population density does explain the difference.

The Government needs to be beld to account for all this.

The ITU/ CRITICAL CARE BEDS are run at capacity ALL THE TIME. They are never enough bed, ever!!

You tube. Computing Forever, " Connecting the dots ". Brilliant explanation of what is really happening.

This is Global Governance, not Government...The two are NOT the same !

Don't think they're making a mistake, its all done on purpose in a tight agenda.

Peter for PM and Mike as Health secretary Mark Dolan as chancellor when we sack the liars in Parliament

Burnham will flip-flop whichever way he feels benefits him personally. Always been the same

They aren't stupid, they are calculated actors.....

Even the W.H.O is now saying that large scale, long term lock downs are bad. According to them you should only do it as a last resort and even then, locally and temporarily. They admit that the only consequence of this kind of lock down is to make the poor even poorer.

It's all going to plan then. You only need to do a cursory search on the internet to find out the truth ffs.

Peter is the voice of common sense...all will be revealed in 2021. Then it will be to late.

HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS???????

UK government incompetence they say, then discuss a dying New York city? Scottish, Welsh & Irish governments behaving the same, as are much of the world. How is it not blatantly obvious to this pair that this is not just about incompetence? Very disappointing.

There is more than incompetence. To deny it is to be part of it.

The world is in a mess, but China seems to be doing quite well thank you!

The only half truth speaking national radio station in England.....

Hi I love listening to Mike Graham and Peter Hitchens. I feel hope and encouragement knowing I’m not alone! 🙏

Anyone else look forward to these weekly conversations now?

Hitchens is the voice of sanity.

I can't use Johnson's first name these days, either. I can't understand those whe refer to him as 'Boris' like some sort lovable baffoon-like clown. He's a coward and a tyrant.

I went into town on Saturday and it was absolutely rammed. Massive queues outside all the major shops too.

Boris cost me friends their jobs, meanwhile Boris's friends just living it large. I actually hate the civil servants actually they love the lockdowns since at the moment they can just sit at home and get paid. Thing is though them civil servants might also in time become cut as well when they Gov has no money left and has to make some big cuts in their own departments.

Peter Hitchens - one of the last sane voices standing along with people like Douglas Murray...

Thanks for being a beacon of sanity in these crazy times. ☝️😎

Her Majesty was not wearing a mask when she was out just recently. Wonder if it was her way of sending a message.

Over the edge,yes,but what is there? Way way worse than the 1930's imho.

Mike, you are not paying attention . Look at the video interview with Klaus Schwab. A hitt- er clone.

People need to listen to Peter. Hes a breath of fresh air to truthful debates

Yes thanks to talk radio we are well informed.

Should Manchester be paid tens of millions of pounds in return for accepting strict coronavirus restrictions?

nhs left me on floor in a caravan, wouldnt send anyone as I asked to pic me up over a disc prolapse,took me a hour to get on a couch next to me,hospital 5 mins away! iv recovered but they have no doubt murdered many!

I’ve had a nurse visit me today for a blood test. No social distancing took place and she didn’t have her face mask on covering her nose- I said you don’t believe this Kung flu do you? She said “no” we call it the con virus at the drs surgery’s!! Said she can’t breath in the masks and her skin is in a awful state, and nearly everyone she visits are on the same page. But. My daughters age group, (Late 20s) their all running around scanning the app on shop/ restaurant entry, wearing the masks, bazaar

Dont worry we can all make a living selling junk to each other on Amazon apparently

Public must start suffering financially then they will start fighting the shutdowns.

The silence is deafening from

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the NHS run out of beds *every* year in the winter???

It's not the Government's place to tell me who I can and can't have in my house. ...stop me watching my football team....going where I want to go....make me wear a face mask... stop me going to a pub after 10... mixing voluntarily with 7 mates.

I swear I’ve been watching this union for the last 17 weeks with anticipation, you can’t put a price on common sense, thanks talk radio.

Peter does a brilliant line in "gloomy satisfaction with a pulpit delivery", doesn't make him wrong though.

we are over the edge

11 billion for the track and trace app , sums it all up

I never thought I’d be living through a World War...but here we are...🤷🏻‍♀️

When's the next episode of Hancock's half hour 😂

Best half hour in the segment talk radio has 👍🏼

I would like to know why at this time the government saw fit to give themselves an increase in salaries? When businesses are suffering in this economic climate and citizens are facing unemployment en mass. Peter is speaking the truth and yet so many are not listening including our incompetent government. Demoralising and despicable...

Thought we had the Nightingales to handle the "rush" and "save the NHS" 🤦‍♂️ What a farce of a clown show!

Yeah I got a few titles instead off mr. For them! ! !

The politicians know EXACTLY what they are doing.

So glad and grateful Peter Hitchens is speaking the truth. And glad Mike Graham has had him on @TalkRadio every week.

WHY AREN'T THESE SICKOS BEING STOPPED, JUST TALK Of THE DISTRUCTION, ALL THE TIME,🤔

As per usual, lot of bluster, smugness, pointing the finger, but rarely does Peter put forward any suggestions for potential solutions.

And they still come on our our screens and talk about how we must protect the economy. What economy?

"... extraordinary level of damage ..." indeed! Politiciams and, more to the point the administrative ranks which revel in their new powers - and their unimpaired paycheques - have no interest in seeing this ride end.
