Kids - this is what a sane, intelligent, and well informed, discussion looks like. Thanks Canon Press, Doug Wilson, and Peter Hitchens for ALL your work in restoring (and modeling) the ability to think and follow an argument for more than 30 seconds and to make careful distinctions.
Greetings from the UK, near London! Peter Hitchens is a wonderful man, who isn't afraid to speak the truth when it often offends other people (The very people who don't like hearing the truth. Those who are used to people sucking up to them and getting their own way in society). Best wishes to you and all of your viewers!!
Thank you Peter for your honesty and great reporting. Keep going we need folk like you to get the message of truth out here in the UK. Please dont give up. The Gov need to be held accountable. Many thanks again.
I’ve learned quite a bit about England by listening to Mr. Hitchens over the last four or five years. I read his book “The Abolition of Britain” and am currently reading a book he’s cited quite often “The Deluge” by Adam Tooze.
It is amazing that two brother, Christopher (an atheist) and Peter (a Christian) Hitchens were both men who think with their minds on logic and reason and always spoke out against what they saw was authoritarian. I’m glad that Doug Wilson has been able to talk with both Hitchens brothers
I Applaud Peter Hitchens and this Gentlemen. Peter, I have been following for 20 Years. He is one of the most Eminent Intelligent Articulate and Honest Journalists we have today. He says it how it is, and he does not care who he upsets either. He is one of the most Intellectual Speakers I have ever known, and I have never seen him to be wrong. The Interviewer is Fantastic. He actually 'Allows' his Guest to answer a question!! Compare this man, to the Utterly Ridiculous Incomprehensible - Piers Morgan? Absolutely no comparison!
What a pleasure it is to listen to a conversation between two intelligent, rational and well-informed people. Why can’t the mainstream media do the same; provide examples of reasoned discourse in the grand tradition of independent reporting rather than allowing their lust for audience/market share to erode truth and integrity?
Peter never allows a serious issue to be trivialised. When he debates people who try to use 'zingers' (as is so popular these days) to mischaracterise his position or to humiliate, he returns with deadly seriousness - it's a real gift of substance in argument. We need more of that to take on the trivial late-night news clowns.
The Russell Brand clip is a clear example of that. Brand injected egotism and personal attack into what was otherwise a rational and civil conversation. Childlessness has no place on adult platforms
Little jokes at the expense of your opponent or little comical insults that make you look quick-on-the-draw and thus make your opponent look bad unless you come up with one to fire back with basically instantly. Quips or jokey insults.
Well there's someone who's difficult to pull one over on. Incredibly brave, and honest. A breath of fresh air among all those 'experts' who claim they know something beyond doubt.
Good to see Peter Hitchens with Doug Wilson again. If these ludicrous restrictions are ever lifted, I hope that Mr. Wilson will travel to London or Oxford to interview Mr. Hitchens to return the favour of the latter's visit to Moscow a few years ago.
Why does Hitchens think "everyone" believes the Government over here? I'm over here and I've never believed the Government, I've always been on Peter's side on this issue. I think many are like me.
I think the issue is not enough debate publicly on the issue so maybe he feels he's the only one with a voice that's openly disputing this. I've been finding it harder and harder to find people like him speaking out that aren't being censored. I don't think there is no-one on his side just not enough openly opposing these draconian measures. I've felt like I'm the only one in my circle of friends opposing this. Have felt pretty ostracized personally and I don't have half the UK shouting abuse at me. It's frightening how many people are lapping up the fear and panic and are impossible to talk to on the matter.
@@TheDarrentomo in two attempts to respond to me, I still have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Everyone and anyone can have a point of view without a solution. How does that comment have any reference to my post? Im pointing out Peter says he feels like he's the only one with this opinion. I, and many others share the opinion. I'm merely explaining why others may not be speaking up. Not sure what you're trying to say?
Thank you to Canon Press from here In the UK..... Finally, the Scamdemic/Plandemic that was Foisted upon us, is slowly Unravelling, for the FAKE VIRUS, it was all along! And most of us knew this from day ONE!!!
Peter Hitchens is obviously talking absolute sense! The government's reaction is ludicrous! The depression we're about to experience is wholly based on the government's over reaction... the government's bullsh1t is so tiresome, time and time again they make such massive mistakes with huge negative impact. The government needs to be overthrown
@Michael Lee - that comment is half in jest but I also prefer not to mince words with calling out BLM and other groups of that ilk for the Marxist agitators they really are...
@@edwardcatt2399 over thrown government? Can't see it happening, ever. And the BLM/Marxists to replace them, very unlikely. Don't worry, I'm on the same page, albeit a bit more serious, but no need to explain 👍
Thank you peter 100% agree with you I work in nhs as a senior nurse but like you am criticised for not agreeing with the shutdown of the economy and the next level of madness is that I will be forced to wear a mask all day at work good grief can this actually be reality I’m reminded of a old film about a Roman emperor Caligula when he started mehing meh meh like a sheep and to his disbelief they all started to meh back
I concur about the opposition's lack of scrutiny; it is a crucial point. There's no scrutiny or intelligent debate in parliament anymore about important issues. Strangely, trivial issues which have little effect on people receive the most scrutiny. Why is this?
Liam, I'll "give her a go" if I may: The Almighty "State" has, sadly, near totally consumed the UK. (And some of the USA) The "Total State" in any formerly CHRISTIAN country is in open rebellion to God and aims to replace HIM 'en toto'. You have in the UK some Christians still, but they've been cowed into silence, by the duped, Collective 'Majority'. Our mutual Brother in Christ, Peter Hitchens, here is bravely standing in the Gap. Thank God he has both the platform & standing to be heard - even if he's currently the minority report. I recall the stalwart Reformer John Knox remarked: "One man standing in TRUTH with God makes a Majority." So take courage you're in Good Company ! Men tend to go mad in crowds, but only recover their sanity alone, one by one. May CHRIST our King lead our people by his mighty Hand ! David in Texas
@@hellosunshine1090 Take solace in knowing that truth is eternal, and the falsity which is pervasive now, is fleeting. You are quite right I think, even if one had reason to believe they're the only person left in the world to pray to God, it's important to keep praying.
I think that something nasty has been going around. I know of two people that were in hospital with blood clots on their lungs in January. If they had it I was fully exposed to it (I took one to the hospital and the other was in my office) and have remain asymptomatic throughout. What I think is suspicious is the lack of transparent debate between scientists in MSM. If asymptomatic people do not spread the virus then the argument for lockdown was a fallacy and so far from the norm; we protect the vulnerable by getting herd immunity in the healthy population. There is an agenda to have us wear masks despite there being more evidence pointing to them being dangerous then beneficial; I think it's symbolic, to silence us. I think there is a depopulation agenda which will be hastened by Bill Gates's vaccines.
@Eve Oakley I'm pleased she peacefully. This is the scandal that people who die with the virus not from the virus are being recorded as COVID-19 deaths inflating the figures. As sad as any death is, shutting down the world when the vast majority who succumb are the very elderly and infirm, or chronologically youger people but whom have serious health issues (morbid obesity, Type II Diabetes.
"The great Thomas Sowell," says Doug. Indeed! His book "Intellectuals and Society" addresses much that is discussed here. In passing, Dr. Ioannidis, whom Peter mentions, talks like a real scientist instead of a man with a science degree. There is evidently a difference.
There are way less watermelons (green on the outside red on the inside), than burned meatballs (black on the outside brown on the inside) around... Nice interview though - it is always pleasurable to listen to Peter Hitchens; even if he has a temporarily lisp :D
When I watched this video 8 months had passed since its production. I am amazed how naïve such a reknowned scholar is. Peter Hitchens needs to do some research on British history around Cecil Rhodes and his disciples and their subsequent organization, the Pilgrim Society which was founded in London in 1902. Unlike Hitchens, I believe "Conspiracy Theories" are real .... because of the facts I have learned through my own research in the past 10 years.

@@ashokmohan94 Exactly. I don't have a credit card either. Otherwise I could buy it 😬 I'm grateful to see a fellow Indian brother checking out Canon stuff!
Peter is a dear dear man and testament to the power of the Gospel. He has come to abhor the Marxist Atheist ideology after experiencing its fruits. The British Empire was the apex of the Israelite empire but subverted by Esau. Britain upheld the Gospel to the Lost Sheep.
Politicians drop issues down all at once...burying us...that's why leaves drop gently to the ground so the occupants of the woods aren't scared and burried not to mention killed....what would the damage be if leaves fell all at once?
peter I always thought you would play second fiddle to your legendary brother Christopher but to my delight you have surpassed him and he would be so proud of you.
If you want to see Peter Hitchens on top form, check out his appearances on the BBC's weekly Question Time program!... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x-VP44t4-no.html Please Note: The BBC are extremely Left Wing biased and the Question Time program is a good testament to this.
In an age where the minority is looked after, the majority is ignored, the priority, is normally given to the minority, these days, with this virus, the short comings of that are only to apparent, and governments are being forced to deal with that policy in a very realistic way, which is funny, as the pc mind set is such a fragile thing. Therefore, this dealing with reality is painful for them, and it will take a long time for them to address in a contextual way. This came to me whilst was doing some soup
I adore Peter Hitchens, but dare I say he isn't cynical enough?....he refuses to acknowledge the philosophical evil and political malice involved, even after Doug points some of it out.
