Nice to have an interviewer who lets the guests talk. The segment with Julie Bindel and Louise Perry starts at 44:50. The most important issue now is women being erased as a legal class, which nullifies their sex-based rights. All other issues are secondary to having no legal status. No women = no women's rights.
Such a valuable discussion between Julie and Louise. Speaking as a Woman’s Rights Activist who has only been that for the last five years after seeing the harms done by Gender Ideology, and a supporter of Posie, it was very helpful to hear Julie’s standpoint. My own opinion has been that if we lose the definition of what is a woman, we lose everything. It is for this reason that my prime target has been the erasure of us as a sex class. But my eyes have been opened to the other serious issues because of this fight: violence against women and surrogacy. If I understand Julie, by aligning with all who agree with me, the fight against other catastrophes may be weakened. Julie, I’m in this now for the long haul and many others like me now agree with most of what you say but not everything. We weren’t there before. And I have found in these last few years that right-wing men are far more likely to listen to us than those of the Left who have seen gender as a way to exclude disobedient women.
Get rid of the 600+ MPs, they can get useful jobs. It doesn't matter which party is in Government, they're all working for global corporate billionaires. It's an illusion that we need them. Get rid of Government.
@S M You obviously didn’t get the memo, just as I didn’t. Rishi is wearing the epitome of a man’s modern suit: too-short tight trousers, a super tight jacket, so tight it pulls open. My double breasted long jacket and loose trousers that break on my shoes marks me as thirty years out of date. At least Rishi is wearing socks! He didn’t get that memo!!
The name Rishi comes from Sanskrit and means ‘a learned sage’ which is what U.K. needs to get it out of this mess. Hope Rishi is able to justify his name 😊
Yes and he was best man at his wedding. He is totally compromised, but being a journalist does not bother to mention any of this. Can't think why people don't trust journalists.
Lionel Shriver is one of the few people who are still rational at the Spectator. Thank goodness for her. Kate Andrews has never heard of Supply and Demand having impact on an economy.
Samir Shah is completely clueless on Hinduism, no mention of the Vedas or Bhagavad Gita. Trust the Spectator to find someone who knows what they are talking about 😂
To a person of my age (82) the Lionel/Hamish conversation is old hat having been there before in the UK from war time rationing, blackouts, one egg a week, penny saving etc to the 1970's and electricity cuts, 3 day weeks, fuel shortages, 18% mortgage rates, IMF intervention and so on. Clearly the 2008 banking fiasco is back having only been swept under the carpet with low rates and money printing to save banker's skin at the expense of savers and pensioners who are now being savaged by the young for having the benefit of house prices rises whether they had a house or not! My father, who was born 145 years ago last Thursday and my grandfather born in 1838 in the year of Queen Victoria's coronation, saw every bit as much in terms of war and destruction of the economy and recessions and impoverishment. So little changes in reality and cover ups are always ultimately exposed and as my Dad would say the higher you climb the harder you fall. The age of the Great Reset is a mooted by many as being imminet, devised or not, and if so as is likely then an investment in a small holding and a course in husbandry may be better than one in banking.
Lionel is absolutely right about lockdowns. How anyone thought lockdowns wouldn't devastate the economy and have a huge impact on the young and healthy is beyond me.
@@dianastevenson131 Of course. So much for experts, really. As a group, they were not good. Their ideas caused much more damage than good. I do emphasise as a group, as there were individuals speaking out at the time (Prof Sunetra Gupta and others). We need a reckoning now. Otherwise such things are doomed to repeat.
Julie Bindle is talking out of her hat, sadly. The rational position is work or don't is a personal choice. Either it makes financial sense for you to work & leave your children with a child minder or it doesn't. If employers truly value their female workers they would provide a crèche or an allowance. The Tax Payer should not be subsidising child care costs. Nor should schools become de facto child minders for working women. Feminism has not for a long time been about equality. Wasn't it the Feminists that first started to try to pretend that sex was a social construct? They are rather reaping the whirlwind that they sewed. Sadly the rest of us are suffering with them. Divorce and child access, being so one sided, I would be reluctant to risk marriage in the UK.
Yes Lionel you are right: why we could accumulate a gigantic debt for 15 years with not problem a decision to cut some taxes was enough to send the market insane. Maybe because the market is controlled in US by a small number of large players.
Rishi Sunak as a practising Hindu will be guided by 4 purusharthas/goals - 1. Dharma - carrying out his duties/responsibilities towards his work/family morally and ethically 2. Artha- is not ‘making money’ as uninformed confused Samir Shah explained. Artha means realising the importance that money/financial independence/solid economics is the basis that you can do your Dharma with honesty without being dependent on others begging for alms. This does not mean that you have to be greedy and dishonest in money matters. 3. Kama - passion and love in whatever you do. Having a desire is not considered bad 4. Moksha - is breaking out of the cycle of rebirths by good karma and leaving the samsara/physical world forever and becoming one with the supreme. Bcos achieving Moksha can take several births so karma of past and future births are important as your current one. Duties of a married individual are vastly different from the one who has taken sanyas(renunciated the world) Human life is considered as the highest form of life which is achieved by only those souls who have been good in their previous life so it has more duties and responsibilities to other forms of life. Charity is undertaken by families in almost every day.
It wasn't touched on between Lionel and Hamish but the problem with debt, and it's not a popular thing to say, is that it effectively fuels modern economies rather than old fashioned savings. 2008 was called 'the credit crunch' because there was a real danger that 'money/debt' might dry up, seizing economies. Interest rates are low and asset and equity prices have rising, up until recently anyway, because it has become an established paradigm driven by both fear and greed. The only way to keep the money/debt flowing ergo our economies (which are, in turn, sustained by rising asset prices fuelled by debt) running is by making the price of borrowing perennially cheap.
Whoever you chose to talk about Hinduism, he failed to refer in any way to the underlying philosophy of Indian spirituality. I have no idea what rishi sunak thinks about life, the universe and everything, but I’m pretty sure it’s not how many candles you light at Diwali.

Totaly agree with Shriver. Something stunk about the whole thing.Why didn`t the markets react to Sunak printing money? U.S has greater debt to GDP than UK, also it is a low tax (generally ) economy yet when Truss tried to reduce taxes she was punished. My feeling is Sunak and his ilk are seen as controlable. Even the Spectator said that the policy of Truss was more a problem of selling the message which proves the seeming contradiction that reducing taxes brings in more tax revenue. Why didn`t they all stand behind her then! Still , at least , the `Adults are back in the room` i.e the liberal elites
The original defintion of inflation was 'expansion of the money supply', somehow, rising prices, which are the effect of inflation (they don't rise in a linear fashion across all assets) were rebranded (classic leftist/statist/bureaucratic doublethink) as inflation, so a supply side issue would be called inflationary.
I wonder what Lionel would think of the many years that people in London and who knows where else you weren’t even supposed to turn your lights on at night or having to sleep in the tube stations. Economics truly is the dismal science listening to her. Disclaimer, I’m an American. I live in SW Florida, but find the UK fascinating
The problem with Lionel Shriver's argument is that during WW2, British and US governments imposed far more draconian restrictions that lasted 4-6 years. Was that wrong in her book?
Why do they keep saying a general election can only happen if MPs vote for it. The Fixed Term Parliament Act has been repealed. We're back to the status quo ante 2011 when the PM could call an election.
Too much of the time when we talk loosely about "the markets" we're referring only to the bond markets, the most manipulated of all markets. No other market than fiat money, backed by nothing, can be manipulated by a central body capable of producing an asset, a supposed market good, by pulling it out of thin air.

@@deanunio the U.K. ‘constitution’ is uncodified whereas it is in other countries and therefore allows the politicians to make laws and rules without consent of the Sovereign people. That’s how people can be ‘appointed’ and shall we say ‘put in place’. Let’s see how long this one lasts.
@@lynclarke6184 oh Lyn you think you’re so clever. I know the UK constitution is uncodified but that’s the beauty of it. It means it can keep up with the times and adapt.

Louise Perry can sometimes be right - of course, purely by accident. Her only, consuming, concern is protecting everything which supports and advances UPPER-middle class life. Therefore, in furtherance of that noble crusade, she will occasionally find herself in support of broader women’s issues. Of course, if those issues should EVER challenge her bone-deep cultural elitism, women’s concerns per se, would be jettisoned as quickly as last season’s fashions. Hearing her opine on ”middle England” is truly hilarious - she could never recognise a middle-England value if she fell headlong over one ! Julie Bindel, for all her notorious stridency and anger, is altogether a more authentic “everyday” person, who IS motivated by what afflicts all women (and indeed men) on many levels. Because she finds herself, by chance, on the “right” side of this issue, do not assume for one moment that Perry does not regularly cry herself to sleep over the demise of default feudalism - thus depriving her of her true position towards the pinnacle of sort form of baronial heirarchy.
Sunak leads Starmer by 1%. At this moment, which of the following do British voters think would be the better Prime Minister for the UK? (25-26 Oct) Rishi Sunak 39% (+6) Keir Starmer 38% (-4) Don't know 23% (-2) Changes +/- 4 September
Aha. This is the comment I was looking for. Trevor Noah's monologue about a British backlash to Rishi becoming Prime Minister. He was talking about you.
@@chesterdonnelly1212 I thought Trevor Noah was declaring he was in favour of the British Raj. An imported people who have not been elected running the country is just great to him. What do I care what a racist comedian has to say? Point me at the election Sunak won. Tell me you are 100% sure that when his parents come around to visit him and his wife to watch England vs India at cricket, they talk English and cheer on England.
@@chesterdonnelly1212 Trevor Noah. It's an outrage. Some Britons still value Democracy over Diversity. Religious litany: Diversity is our Strength. Who is meant by our? Give me a single example of Diversity being an advantage. Rwanda '94, India '47, Yugoslavia '90s, Lebanon '80s, Ukraine today.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 Diversity is our strength sounds very Orwellian to me. Through his bizarre monologue Noah showed the world what I already knew, that in his heart he is bitter that he is the product of diversity. Now that he’s lost his job will he go home to South Africa? Of course he won’t. He doesn’t feel at home anywhere. And South Africa has been ruined by diversity.
... strange, inaccurate overview of Hinduism by the panellist Sameer Shah @17.48 - Hindus believe in ONE supreme god, but has many, many divinities and we have some common believes despite the diversity, including our purpose here on earth and the beyond...
Reincarnation or rebirth are very much part of Dharma philosophy which influences Hindu Buddhist Sikhs and many other non abrahmic philosophy around the world . For Hindus - Sanatana Dharma - one of the goals is to do good karma to get out rebirth cycle and achieve Moksha(salvation) - become one with that supreme energy
If the new PM is a practicing Hindi would be a problem because it's possible that how about if there is a conflict of interest it the two religions don't mix , just like having a mayor of a town who is an islamists and the people who live there are Christian.
Please read this to know what Samir Shah could not explain properly- Hindus or Sanatana Dharma people DO NOT HAVE 1000s of GODS. GODS = ENERGY IN DHARMA THERE ARE LOTS OF MANIFESTATIONS OF THIS ENERGY (loosely identified as gods/devtas/devis YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PERCEIVE/INDENTIFY/CHOOSE THE ENERGY WHICH RESONATES WITH YOUR SELF. Basically there are 3 THE CREATOR ENERGY = Brahma THE PRESERVER ENERGY = Vishnu (to let things function effectively till they can) THE DESTROYER ENERGY = Shiva (destroy so that rebuilding can happen) FEMININE ENERGY IS HUGELY WORSHIPPED IN FORMS OF VARIOUS GODDESSES AS NURTURER AND PROTECTOR. FEMININE ENERGY CAN BE VERY BENIGN LIKE GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE AND ARTS SARASWATI TO EXTREMELY FEIRCE LIKE GODDESS KALI WHEN SHE IS REPRESENTED AS A PROTECTOR.
Where was his unity around the elected leader!? It makes me physically sick what he has done. And now he is trying to get people to rally around him after HE CREATED THIS MESS. We voted for Boris, we voted for Brexit - we voted for Liz - democracy has been fully betrayed.
Who is this WE? You clearly don't like Rishi, but do like Truss and the sex maniac Boris. What is the difference between them? It is not sex, as you like Truss. Could it be some other innate characteristic?
I thought the 5th segment with Louise Perry and Julie Bindel was one of the best discussions I've ever heard. As a middle-aged heterosexual man, hopefully a women's rights activist if not a feminist, I feel chastened but thoroughly educated. Especially on the subject of porn, I feel extremely-chastened that we are the primary consumers. But I "worry" about the viability of Ms. Bindel's goals, in the real world. Excellent discussion. The best kind where I find myself thoroughly educated and invoked to think. The castigation of Labour over something "as small as porn", is something I would like to pick apart on how it was to be solved. Fabulous. As an atheist Hindu, I found Samir Shah's coverage of Mr. Sunak's observant Hindu religion to be unrepresentative. (Especially if his heritage is Punjabi mixed with his wife's Kannada-Marathi heritage, his explanation of his tendencies is utterly misleading. But I would yield to him.) I'm not sure I agreed with a lot of the opinions of the guests on then section on economics. One of the best discussions I've heard. Thank you. 💐
Hinduism is not a religion of violence as said by uninformed confused Samir Shah. Neither it tom toms as religion of peace and goes around killing innocents. Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is not a religion but a Dharma which considers peace/shanti is achieved by good karma. It considers the whole world with all its creatures including the smallest of insects and trees as one family - vasudhaiva kutumbakam. To protect and preserve this if you have to take the final drastic step of war with the disrupter then it’s your dharma to do so. War rules however do not allow harming children women non combatants like farmers businessmen skilled artisans and temples. Attacking them are sins which delay your Moksha(salvation).
You could have got a more informed person perhaps a practicing Hindu if you had to discuss Hindu Sanatana Dharma(not religion bcos Hindus are not people of one book one god one prophet) A person like Pandit Satish Sharma would have been a better person and your viewers would have benefited also instead of Samir Shah who came across as a very confused man giving wrong information.
‘We’ didn’t assume rates would stay low, we merely participated in the market as we all need to buy houses and get on with life. What was your proposal, live in a tent and wait 2 decades? Meanwhile houses prices have a long way to fall before they drop below 2008 levels.
@@sisiphas Quite enjoyed it but perhaps the bit where Julie Bindel was able to go on about sexism without her record of anti maleness being brought up (watch the doc ‘angry wimmin’ on RUclips for details), violence against women without it being noted that men are victims of violence more than women, and the evils of pornography without the fact that most pornography is made via consent being brought up.

@@deanunio the U.K. ‘constitution’ is uncodified whereas it is in other countries and therefore allows the politicians to make laws and rules without consent of the Sovereign people. That’s how people can be ‘appointed’ and shall we say ‘put in place’. Let’s see how long this one lasts.
@@lynclarke6184 oh Lyn you think you’re so clever. I know the UK constitution is uncodified but that’s the beauty of it. It means it can keep up with the times and adapt. Would you prefer we had a written one like America which allows guns to proliferate and kill young kids. Well done on correcting yourself though. He was appointed that’s true but he IS elected.
@34:20 Come on!!!!!! I knew, and I'm not an economist!!!!
Who on earth thought interest rates would stay low for ever? They were madness then and they still are.
No one. But we thought they would gradually increase back up. Not in huge chunks in a 6 month period
@@deanunio But history shows that never happens because of 1) lags 2) groupthink.
Louise Perry can sometimes be right - of course, purely by accident.
Her only, consuming, concern is protecting everything which supports and advances UPPER-middle class life. Therefore, in furtherance of that noble crusade, she will occasionally find herself in support of broader women’s issues.
Of course, if those issues should EVER challenge her bone-deep cultural elitism, women’s concerns per se, would be jettisoned as quickly as last season’s fashions.
Hearing her opine on ”middle England” is truly hilarious - she could never recognise a middle-England value if she fell headlong over one !
Julie Bindel, for all her notorious stridency and anger, is altogether a more authentic “everyday” person, who IS motivated by what afflicts all women (and indeed men) on many levels.
Because she finds herself, by chance, on the “right” side of this issue, do not assume for one moment that Perry does not regularly cry herself to sleep over the demise of default feudalism - thus depriving her of her true position towards the pinnacle of sort form of baronial heirarchy.
The Guardian is maoist, the Speccy is the original liberal press
Anthony Seldon brilliant
52:20 Hilarious
It's ladies like this with their 'anti-hierarchy' who got you started down the slope
And now she proposes to stop you halfway down?
Sunak leads Starmer by 1%.
At this moment, which of the following do British voters think would be the better Prime Minister for the UK? (25-26 Oct)
Rishi Sunak 39% (+6)
Keir Starmer 38% (-4)
Don't know 23% (-2)
Changes +/- 4 September
I agree with julie 💜 she amazing
Sunak's premiership is entirely illegitimate. I am less concerned as to his religion as to his allegiances in negotiating an Indian trade deal.
Aha. This is the comment I was looking for. Trevor Noah's monologue about a British backlash to Rishi becoming Prime Minister. He was talking about you.
@@chesterdonnelly1212 I thought Trevor Noah was declaring he was in favour of the British Raj. An imported people who have not been elected running the country is just great to him. What do I care what a racist comedian has to say? Point me at the election Sunak won. Tell me you are 100% sure that when his parents come around to visit him and his wife to watch England vs India at cricket, they talk English and cheer on England.
@@chesterdonnelly1212 Trevor Noah. It's an outrage. Some Britons still value Democracy over Diversity. Religious litany: Diversity is our Strength. Who is meant by our? Give me a single example of Diversity being an advantage. Rwanda '94, India '47, Yugoslavia '90s, Lebanon '80s, Ukraine today.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 Diversity is our strength sounds very Orwellian to me. Through his bizarre monologue Noah showed the world what I already knew, that in his heart he is bitter that he is the product of diversity. Now that he’s lost his job will he go home to South Africa? Of course he won’t. He doesn’t feel at home anywhere. And South Africa has been ruined by diversity.
... strange, inaccurate overview of Hinduism by the panellist Sameer Shah @17.48 - Hindus believe in ONE supreme god, but has many, many divinities and we have some common believes despite the diversity, including our purpose here on earth and the beyond...
Shouldn't something have been said about Reincarnation (a propos Hinduism)?
Reincarnation or rebirth are very much part of Dharma philosophy which influences Hindu Buddhist Sikhs and many other non abrahmic philosophy around the world . For Hindus - Sanatana Dharma - one of the goals is to do good karma to get out rebirth cycle and achieve Moksha(salvation) - become one with that supreme energy
If the new PM is a practicing Hindi would be a problem because it's possible that how about if there is a conflict of interest it the two religions don't mix , just like having a mayor of a town who is an islamists and the people who live there are Christian.
Please read this to know what Samir Shah could not explain properly-
Hindus or Sanatana Dharma people DO NOT HAVE 1000s of GODS.
GODS = ENERGY IN DHARMA
THERE ARE LOTS OF MANIFESTATIONS OF THIS ENERGY (loosely identified as gods/devtas/devis
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PERCEIVE/INDENTIFY/CHOOSE THE ENERGY WHICH RESONATES WITH YOUR SELF.
Basically there are 3
THE CREATOR ENERGY = Brahma
THE PRESERVER ENERGY = Vishnu (to let things function effectively till they can)
THE DESTROYER ENERGY = Shiva (destroy so that rebuilding can happen)
FEMININE ENERGY IS HUGELY WORSHIPPED IN FORMS OF VARIOUS GODDESSES AS NURTURER AND PROTECTOR. FEMININE ENERGY CAN BE VERY BENIGN LIKE GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE AND ARTS SARASWATI TO EXTREMELY FEIRCE LIKE GODDESS KALI WHEN SHE IS REPRESENTED AS A PROTECTOR.
Where was his unity around the elected leader!? It makes me physically sick what he has done. And now he is trying to get people to rally around him after HE CREATED THIS MESS. We voted for Boris, we voted for Brexit - we voted for Liz - democracy has been fully betrayed.
Who is this WE? You clearly don't like Rishi, but do like Truss and the sex maniac Boris. What is the difference between them? It is not sex, as you like Truss. Could it be some other innate characteristic?
Then I came home to Muslims and said that ‘’If anyone went to Dajjal then there's a 99.9% chance that he would join him. #MuhammadQasimDreams
Will from inbetweeners
Selsdon - is he serious about Brown? the worst chancellor and prime minister ever except Blair? although Heath is right up there.
I thought the 5th segment with Louise Perry and Julie Bindel was one of the best discussions I've ever heard.
As a middle-aged heterosexual man, hopefully a women's rights activist if not a feminist, I feel chastened but thoroughly educated.
Especially on the subject of porn, I feel extremely-chastened that we are the primary consumers. But I "worry" about the viability of Ms. Bindel's goals, in the real world.
Excellent discussion. The best kind where I find myself thoroughly educated and invoked to think. The castigation of Labour over something "as small as porn", is something I would like to pick apart on how it was to be solved.
Fabulous.
As an atheist Hindu, I found Samir Shah's coverage of Mr. Sunak's observant Hindu religion to be unrepresentative. (Especially if his heritage is Punjabi mixed with his wife's Kannada-Marathi heritage, his explanation of his tendencies is utterly misleading. But I would yield to him.)
I'm not sure I agreed with a lot of the opinions of the guests on then section on economics.
One of the best discussions I've heard.
Thank you. 💐
Hinduism is not a religion of violence as said by uninformed confused Samir Shah. Neither it tom toms as religion of peace and goes around killing innocents. Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is not a religion but a Dharma which considers peace/shanti is achieved by good karma. It considers the whole world with all its creatures including the smallest of insects and trees as one family - vasudhaiva kutumbakam. To protect and preserve this if you have to take the final drastic step of war with the disrupter then it’s your dharma to do so. War rules however do not allow harming children women non combatants like farmers businessmen skilled artisans and temples. Attacking them are sins which delay your Moksha(salvation).
How can Forsyth say that keeping Braverman is 'relatively positive'?
You could have got a more informed person perhaps a practicing Hindu if you had to discuss Hindu Sanatana Dharma(not religion bcos Hindus are not people of one book one god one prophet)
A person like Pandit Satish Sharma would have been a better person and your viewers would have benefited also instead of Samir Shah who came across as a very confused man giving wrong information.
Samir Shah is terrible.
wishful probably delusional thinking from JF and AS about RS & CP prospects for survival , astonishing absence of humility and insight .
Forsyth is totally compromised as Rishi is his best friend from when they were at school together.
@@georgeash4008 positive bias at work then!
‘We’ didn’t assume rates would stay low, we merely participated in the market as we all need to buy houses and get on with life. What was your proposal, live in a tent and wait 2 decades?
Meanwhile houses prices have a long way to fall before they drop below 2008 levels.
What is with this weird anti porn absurdity?
Normally I love this channel but this episode must be the worst they've created.
A severe lack of critical thought here.
Which bits?
@@sisiphas Quite enjoyed it but perhaps the bit where Julie Bindel was able to go on about sexism without her record of anti maleness being brought up (watch the doc ‘angry wimmin’ on RUclips for details), violence against women without it being noted that men are victims of violence more than women, and the evils of pornography without the fact that most pornography is made via consent being brought up.
Very good. Katie Balls is hamster girl, on the cover of Sonic Youth's One Thousand Leaves lp. She looks increasingly beautiful every episode.
She also looks like she is the sister and the wife of James 'Bruce' Forsyth.
