Peter Hitchens: Britain's Been Changed Forever & Is "In the Foothills of a Catastrophe"

- In this clip from his longer "So What You're Saying Is..." interview ( • Peter Hitchens: The Br... ), Peter Hitchens delivers an important and rarely heard monologue on the systematic infiltration of anti-British Marxists into the highest levels of British society.
This has completely transformed Britain, British life & culture.
Since Blair came to power in 1997, these former Marxists have occupied positions of power in all critical areas of British life. They have revolutionised Britain -- it is no longer the country it once was:
"This is the really ridiculous thing about the modern West, we live in post revolutionary societies and in most cases we don't even realise the revolution's taken place. It's been a Kierkegardian revolution in which all the buildings remain standing but everything which led to their being built and contributed to their design, and the whole society that supported them, has been wiped away.
And people walk around in it relatively prosperous thinking revolution must mean a red flag flying above the post office and the barraks and the railway station with commisars in the streets; it doesn't.
Modern left wing revolution means this, the policing of thought, the deadening of the academy, the lack of serious debate or understanding, the suppression of disagreement, and everybody accepts it and you're surrounded by it and there is no cure for it, it's all gone. Education is dead, the media is dead, it's almost unwatchable, most of what's put out now in particular on BBC television, it's almost impossible for an intelligent person to sit down and watch it. But luckily for them the number of intelligent, educated people is very small so they get away with it."
"[...] My advice to young people is to leave the country, and people laugh at me when I say it but I've never been more serious about anything in my life. And they ask where should I go, and I say I don't care where you go. The point about this country is, in the foothills of such a catastrophe it's not a good idea to wait around and find out what it's like."
Called "Eurocommunism", this policy renounced Soviet economic models but kept the key aims of transforming our society.
Tens of thousands of Marxists left the newly-expanded universities to enter teaching, journalism, the BBC, the law and, of course, politics.
Starting from the 1990s, they began to pop up in positions of importance. Peter Hitchens says that crucially his generation were deep inside what became New Labour
Communist/Marxists in Blair’s Cabinet include:
John, Lord Reid, Defence Secretary,
Bob Ainsworth, Defence Secretary,
Chancellor Alistair Darling
Stephen Byers, (outed by the Guardian in 1999 as a former supporter of the Trotskyists).
Peter Mandelson
Even Tony Blair himself revealed in a BBC interview that he had been a Trotskyist at Oxford in the 1970s
One of Blair’s closest aides , Peter Hyman, has confessed that New Labour was devised ‘to take and hold the levers of power... winning power and locking out the Tories to ensure that the 21st Century was a Labour century with Labour values’.

"Young people should leave the country" .... his further statement "I am not a travel agent ...." misses a key point .... Britains situation is not unique ... this crap is everywhere ... you may as well stay and try to stand your ground here.
@Alan Hill OK .... where do you think or know, that people can go to live apart from this "crap"?
@Alan Hill I believe you are right Alan. We are shrinking @ 1.6 children per family. The "religion of peace " people are doubling every 14 years at an average of 6 children per family. Thats without further thousands coming in. In 2017 300,000 came into Britain. Their majority happens in 2045/50. They will kill us men, sexually enslave our young females if we let them. The most fanatic wahabists would rule and any of their own who wont go along with it, they would kill them too, so none of em will object.

Stunning use of words by Peter Hitchens and sums up perfectly my thoughts on the future of this country, although I am not naturally a negative person, there is not much to feel optimistic about. Tony Blair and his cronies have etched their way into every crook and cranny of our society, the education education education theory has in reality turned out to be disastrous for our country, the masses of supposedly educated people have been brainwashed and dumbed down to think and act like robots, everybody is too scared to talk the truth anymore, to hear posh people talk about football is pathetic but football and holidays as well as effing food is all they are allowed to discuss

Yes, it was really 'indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination'.
@@rogerrodgers6550 Yes, that's the word, misanthropic, that best suits the left. I'd always dismissed them as masochistic and self-loathing but misanthropic has a more malignant sinister tone which far better explains their preternatural obsession with the nihilistic destruction of a perfectly functioning, reasonable society in favour of a dystopian prison where all the ants are equal.
I fear my country, NL, is in an even worse shape, culturally speaking.
@James dow Whilst I basically see it that way myself too, do not forget that the majority of Scots voted to stay in Britain/the UK last time around. Down the years I have come across many people with Scottish accents who absolutely identify as British and not Scottish the latter being something merely historical. If only they realised that when someone English uses the term Scots git they still mean pretty much the whole lot.
The Highlands and Islands which have much more of a definite Celtic Scottish identity contribute a much smaller proportion of the whole poplulation of Scotland or North Britain as the Victorians would have loved it to be named than do the lowland areas where all the main cties are so that the picture is greatly contorted.
What I do hold out hope on is this actually changing when the superior philosophical intellect of the Scots which gave us the Enlightenment finally realise that the ball is in their court to give Westminster the biggest kick up the jacksie possible for the Brexit farce then the Welsh follow suit and we somehow get a peaceful settlement in Ireland.
And this is not to be anti-English (far from it) as they then get their identity back just in time to stave off the sharia brigade which not even all muslims want because it would be less tolerant than it is now - the very reason that many of them came to Britain in the first place.
If you call yourself a nationalist in Scotland, Wales or Ireland that is simply taken at face value politically and may or may not also have connotations of independence. If you call yourself a nationalist in England the majority seem to consider you something of a fascist and/or rascist automatically deeming it more of a cultural statement. Basically in my experience; Scots, Welsh and Irish don't get labelled fascist for loving their own nations.
If England finds herself alone again then there would most likely be even less reason for any to call themselves English nationalists because their country would simply have its own immediate label as it did before the concept of fascism had ever been thought up. I think this outcome would actually be more peaceful on the whole and therefore better than the present situation which is an accident waiting to happen and I look at it in a similar way to Peter Hitchens in that if you didn't laugh at the mess then you would cry.
i'm a white british person and at this point in time, feel very worried.
ravenhill sword of slayer † 1968 why worried? Just use that white privilege i keep hearing we have, and everything will be fine.

Just anecdotes: my youngest child was at 12yo threatened with a detention by a teacher at their school for saying one reason Obama was elected was because he is black. This is in a respected church school in a nice part of the country. If any of my children say anything pro-Brexit, pro-Trump or anti-climate change, they know they will be alone in doing so and will face both teacher and peer antagonism for it.
From the mouths of babes.... Obama was elected based largely on his racial composition.
Obama said he was half white.. or as white as he was black. He called himself 'a mutt' or mongrel. To everyone else he was black and lauded for it.
Every one now needs to tow the "party line" of political correctness. God forbid you actually have an opinion that strays outside these boundaries. We are slowing turning into a world of robots and freedom of expression will soon be a thing of the past!
Obama is a Marxist. His racial configuration is irrelevant.
As they should, you can't be an arse and be approved of can you?
thanks to Blair's social engineering in the 1990s, the future of Britain is ... "sanguinary", let's say. Well done, Tony. I hope one day you will face the consequences of your actions.
If you do not believe him, look at what has happened in Sweden……..
Sweden went from a country famous for having lots of blonde people and being quirky to being famous for rape and assault and being feminist for no apparent advantage to the country.
What has happened? You think it is done already? No, it's going to get worse, way worse. Most likely all the way up until the eventual genocide of the white natives.
@@Catubrannos it's even worse than that. There is a police station in a town in Sweden that suffered over 60 attacks in a year by Muslim youths using hand grenades that found their way on to the streets. None of it reported in the west.
@@Tom-sd2vi which will be nothing to me as a Celt merely a repetition of what has already happened, but not really where the focus is on us this time - there are too few of us to focus on. So by white what do they mean ? Clearly not the Chinese they are deemed 'yellow' by them - not African -- there are only two other species left -- Brythonic (Celts) and Scandinavian blue eyed white skinned people, as I've highlighted there are so few of us left we could never be deemed a threat to anything, thereby Scandies - they are coming for you. The one thing that will annoy me is that they will get rid of me under the banner of 'white' which of course is merely an abstract term for anyone that is not of Equatorial or Asiatic Chinese specieality. I ask you to 'kill' my physical body for what it is representative of as of the Brythonic Celtic specieality if anything at all. Multi specieality is part of our likeness to god and there are four human species, for everyone you lose the remainder become less OF and like GOD. Good luck.
Most of the points that Hitchens makes are correct. I have always said that at least 80% of voters are not fit to vote based upon their knowledge of what is going on. It is also true that universities are full of witless, dullard professors who peddle communist principles to students who are mostly doing empty degrees. However, I am convinced that social media massively amplifies the voices that scream over it, which in turn is further amplified by lazy journalists who cannot be bothered to find anything else to write about. Beneath all of that we have the great body of the adult working public. Not all of them are stupid by any means, they see what is happening and we should not rush to pessimistic conclusions. The public came to the correct conclusion in the Brexit referendum and I believe that we will again. In Boris Johnson we at last have somebody who is a good orator and is prepared to stand up and speak the truth. Keep calm and continue to fight for our country.
Spot on-its easy to become unduly pessimistic because the what you refer to as the the great body of the adult working public tends to be far more reserved than the screeching left wing harridans in social media-however although slow to be aroused when they are it will be a site to see.
Paul Gallimore - it’s my pet hate to read an article backed up by some moron’s off Twitter. Do these journalists even bother to seek sources anymore or just sit and play on a phone and get paid for it

We have some of the same problems in Canada with deadened media and political parties. No bravery to be found.
What about the People's Party in Canada?
Alternate1234ify I’m not sure if they’ve taken a stand.
It is now the 4th September 2019 and Democracy Died yesterday.
You are deluded if you think we ever had democracy. According to polls,At no time since Enoch powel did the majority of the indigenous British people ever want foreign immigrants into this country. Yet we have been swamped with immigrants ever since the West Indians came over here in the mid 1950s. The commies started it, but in 2017 under the tories, we had 300,000, mainly "religion of peace" people, come into this country. This is not democratic. Parliament against the people is what it is.
Oh no, that's not what I heard on the radio the other day. I heard a commentator say that you don't have democracy if you can't change your mind. Of course the reference was clear (speaking of Brexit). So the takeaway was, changing your mind in the direction of leaving the EU is bad. Changing your mind by never actually implementing the results of the referendum is real democracy (good). I am a Yankee that's never been to England, yet I was so ticked off by that comment I nearly smashed my car radio. England voted leave. It's past time to get on with it.
Democracy isn't dead yet but if we can't rid ourselves of the remain side who can not accept the result of the referendum it could die ,Borris has to prevail and get brexit done so democracy can be seen be done and we can move on as a country and stop the invasion from European immergrants
The more I watch Peter Hitchen's, the more I realise he was the optimistic brother. Christopheer was a cynical iconclast - his polemicism was purely hedonistic, done purely for the joy of the debate. Christopher never seemed to be emotionally invested in any position; no matter how things worked out, he never seemed dejected. Peter seems to be a disappointed idealist. Even though now he seems like the more fatalistic of the two, it's only because he was the one who actually cared to begin with.
Why not fight for the west instead of cowardly running away
The people have spoken.......and been ignored.
I think both the right and the left need to come to their senses as far as immigration is concerned.
I see the Right being wrong only insofar as they start talking and acting like the Left. You either believe in liberty or you believe in a top down, government control like Socialism or Communism. If one believes in the latter, you are NOT a conservative, just admit it.
It can only be stopped by making then not want to come. Take away the inducements. It's the only way.
"I don't think Blair totally understood it because he wasn't fully bright" - brilliant..........
I love Peters relentless pessimism, so refreshing.
Lord help us!! Our future has never looked so damn frightening!!
I wish Peter Hitchens would speak more clearly. He sounds like he's mumbling.
True, I put subtitles.
I see very little change in what the people around me say and think in the last 10-15 yrs , but the portrayed views of both politicians and the general public by the media most definitely has , this is because the media are so biased and selective in the interviews they give , so driven by the EU and their £ incentives that they have lost all sense of dignity and clear minded reporting , constant paraphrasing and misrepresenting of peoples comments is becoming scandalous .. Good interview .
You shouldn’t have to leave your country, it’s the other people who’s doing the damage and don’t like the country should leave if they don’t like it there. What the country needs is strong leaders who would stand up for their people and country. It seems there are very few strong politicians around. I left Britain in 1987 I am shocked to see what. Britain has become. I was thinking of returning but I don’t think so now.
But muh people of colooooor.....
Seeing this after watching Yuri Bezmenovs warning to America in 1981 is absolutely chilling. It all came true!
Hitchens played his part as a marxist revolutionary in getting us to where we are today so he has no right to complain about it now. Ye shall reap what ye sow.
Problem is I don't think there is anywhere to go (well certainly in most western countries) where the revolutionaries don't hold sway.
Stay and fight with the rest of us.
The Conservative party in UK has rebounded in a way none of us thought possible!
I'm an optimist and can see that people are waking up all over the world. So don't despair!
Same process is happening in the States. Not quite there yet, but unfortunately, most likely, just around the corner.
I love Peter, even in this short interview he can see the indoctrination by hollywood/tv/movies, he calls the media garbage, he see's the indoctrination by colleges/universities talking about the humanities departments in particular.
There's one group in particular who hold immense sway on all these.
So does he know but won't say or ignorant?, claims he's never heard of cultural marxism (on twitter) or identity politics (in this interview) but goes into detail how marxist revolutionaries changed messaging to culture.
???
The elephant In the woodpile will be our demise. and cannot be spoken of let alone returned to its own equal and successful woodpile
I'm with you Peter. I will be dead in less than 20 years and I constantly tell my children to get a skill they can transfer anywhere in the world and be prepared to leave. In recent years we have seen the rise in CCTV, hate crimes, pro islam laws, anti-semitism, thought police, the end of free speech, rubbish bin inspectors, police drones, number plate and face recognition cameras, mass immigration et al. But I am sure Peter, you have enough money to move to Australia or New Zealand.
"I felt much better when I gave up hope"...Woody Allen.
I whole heartedly agree. This is a country where education levels are at a historic high, employment is at a historic high, living standards and quality of life are of a level unknown to the human race until now, life expectancy is at an all time high, opportunities for self improvement and self actualisation are available which would previously have been unthinkable. It’s a crying shame... wait what?
If you think all of that will last you are seriously deluding yourself. Western governments do not care about the indigenous population-- they will just keep importing labor. And then eventually they will exploit them as well. We are heading for a 3rd world environment. As soon as you abandon the philosophy of taking care of your own first you will run into problems. It should be a no brainer! I mean, if your kid is not as bright as the neighbor's kid, are you going to love and take care of your neighbor's kid more than your own? No, right? Then why in the hell do Western governments what to import foreign labor and not educate their own population sufficiently? This is also not good for other countries either because of the brain drain.
This is not communist Russia the government isn’t “importing Labour”. That would be free decisions being made by the private sector. Why do you think that British nationals are not being educated? They are among the most educated in the world and our universities are among the best - but there is only so much education can do if you don’t have the innate IQ to take advantage of it. If we didn’t hire the most talented from overseas, but instead deliberately mediocre or even incompetent British nationals, our public and private services would deteriorate quite rapidly and our economy become uncompetitive. Quit whining.
Yes, it is the government allowing the status quo to continue. It is true that the private sector is the engine behind all of the imported labor but that does not mean that the government does not have the ability to limit it if that is the will of the people. The problem is Western governments do not follow the will of the people anymore. Just take a look at Brexit. Britain should have exited already per the referendum result-- the the British elite have stalled and stalled. If the elites have their way then if Britain exits it will be in name only. Look how the politicians crafted that bill to prevent a no deal Brexit. Johnson is absolutely right! This erodes the ability of the British government to make a decent deal with the EU. If you are not willing to walk away from the table then you cannot negotiate properly. I see people like Jacob Rees-Mogg and I feel respect-- he is the example of an educated, intelligent, and independent minded man. But your statement that Brits are among the most educated in the world is highly debatable. How are you judging this? Just because someone has gone to college does not automatically mean that they can think critically. Colleges are centers for indoctrination now rather then institutions of higher learning. It may be more accurate to say that Brits are among the most indoctrinated people in the world. But hey, you guys aren't alone-- there is plenty of indoctrination all over the Western world now. You so called "educated" clowns support the concept of safe spaces and hate speech. That has nothing to do with the Western tradition of free and open debate. What is hateful pray tell? That is a subjective idea-- any truly "educated" person understands this. And finally, I am not whining. I just care about Western civilization. And people's IQ level is not important to me-- what is important to me is that we support each other and act as a community. Not as self-hating brainwashed fools. There is no other group on the face of this earth that thinks like the modern white liberal. You guys are sick in the end and your sickness is bringing down our society.
Erik White my level of education is not defined by whether I agree or disagree with you on a minor point of political ideology(which by the way I do). That would be a very easy test to pass. Would you rather have someone who thought the same way you do but with a below average iq and questionable exam results operating on you or someone who had been “indoctrinated into Marxist ideology” or whatever but was one of the best in his/her field? I know who I’d choose. These issues you obsess about are really secondary and minor to the big stuff. Your perspective is way off
Also, western governments have never followed the will of the people - that is not the type of democracy we have. We have representative democracy which is well proven to be by far the most practical and effective form of democracy for large populations. The referendum wasn’t legally binding, the government had no legal obligation to enact it until parliament passed the EU withdrawal act to give effect to it. Brexit is essentially a case study in why direct democracy doesn’t work. You can blame “idiot politicians” if you want, but this is what happens when you put complex important questions to everyday people the majority of whom have little interest in the issue until they were asked about it. Is it really the “will of the people” on a 52/48 split? Did everyone who voted to leave way back in 2016 vote for brexit in all circumstances no matter the consequences?

"Erik White my level of education is not defined by whether I agree or disagree with you on a minor point of political ideology(which by the way I do)."
Never said that it did. I said that people like you are indoctrinated which I stand by.
"Would you rather have someone who thought the same way you do but with a below average iq and questionable exam results operating on you or someone who had been “indoctrinated into Marxist ideology” or whatever but was one of the best in his/her field?"
Firstly, someone with below average IQ would never be allowed to be a surgeon. There are plenty of people within the native population that have above average IQs. Perhaps not geniuses, but smart enough. Furthermore, a healthy community functions the same as a healthy family. It assumes that not all members are geniuses and do the best with the cards they have been served. They do not automatically import outsiders to fill proficiency gaps-- that is a last resort rather than a first one. Instead they work toward a solution to properly educate the members that are in their community. You do not fix all of your problems by importing all of the world's people. Besides, how is that fair to the home countries where they come from? Don't these countries also deserve to have people that are intelligent enough to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc? Why is it that it is only the West that shall have all of them? Each community, or country, should focus on bettering their population-- not selling them out. You are the one whose perspective is way off. You just like the status quo because I suspect it has served you well. You apparently only seem to care about short term economic gains-- not about the long term picture and the spiritual health of the population. You've been reading the news, haven't you? There is a suicide epidemic in Western countries now. Not to mention the heroin epidemic in America. Are these social conditions acceptable to you? Why do you think they exist? Don't you think it has something to do with the fact that large swaths of the native population have lost hope in the future? I wonder why that is... Is it because they feel that their own societies and governments have totally turned their backs on them? Why do you think populism is growing? Just purely out of human ignorance? Is it that simple?
"Also, western governments have never followed the will of the people - that is not the type of democracy we have." I can't speak for Britain. All I know is that in principle it is supposed to be a democracy. Democracies regardless of the type is supposed to have the funciton of serving the collective will of the people in some fashion. So the statement you make that democracies have never followed the will of the people is a ridiculous one-- that goes against the very concept of what the supposed purpose of democracy is.
"The referendum wasn’t legally binding, the government had no legal obligation to enact it until parliament passed the EU withdrawal act to give effect to it." As I am not familiar with the system of British democracy I cannot oppose your statement. Perhaps you are right on this point. However, as you yourself pointed out the parliament did pass the EU withdrawal act-- if this is the case now we get into a "rule of law" discussion. The rule of law is important-- something many US politicians like to ignore as they cry about supposed "human rights."
"Brexit is essentially a case study in why direct democracy doesn’t work."-- well, the government wanted the referendum and they got it. Too bad it backfired on them. But they cannot just ignore it because it does not suit their own wishes.
"Is it really the “will of the people” on a 52/48 split?"-- you could call it the collective will because the majority voted for it. That's the way voting works. You will never find total agreement on any issue witin any population-- that's why we vote on stuff. There will always be losers when something is put to a vote. We conservatives know this well because have have been on the losing end for a long time.
"Did everyone who voted to leave way back in 2016 vote for brexit in all circumstances no matter the consequences?"-- probably not. But the bottom line is that the collective will of the people did vote to leave the EU. Now the point is to navigate the exit. Parliment's action against Boris Johnson to block a no deal Brexit betrays the Brexit voters that would not want to have a bad exit because parliment has effectively taken Johnson's negotiation power away. There is no way he can get a good deal if the EU knows that he cannot walk away from the negotiating table. This was a very treacherous action on the behalf of parliment.
Yes, thank you I agree with most of this.
As the years roll by I find myself more closely aligned with what Peter says... Am I getting old? Is he being proved right? I never thought I would agree with this particular reactionary but terrible things are afoot... this much is true...
Superlative. He is exactly correct.
Read Yuri Bezmenov.
It's sad beyond description when someone like Hitchens believes the best thing for young Britons to do is leave the country 😢
You can stand against evil and get your country back. Make people follow the laws that have been in place for hundreds of years. Best of all, trust the Bible. Remember Tyndale and Wycliffe!
To those on the left it must feel as if the world is ending. Lol. Tick Tock.
Omegacube Cycles mate, things go in cycles. Read a history book.
Hitchens has sadly become an embittered and utterly disillusioned man. Brilliant though he clearly is, he doesn’t have what it takes to lead. He hasn’t got the ability to paint a picture of the future which engages and persuades enough people to believe in him. Not everyone is an idiot and not everyone shares his cataclysmic views. I have great admiration for his intellect, but its become so jaded and destructive.
Can you paint a picture of the future of our nation?
I can't, there is no one In trust in politics, media academia, religious deities, no one.
They all only see their own bubble
The British people have learned much about those we elect, their traitorous actions on this already won referendum and the greed and need for personal power that causes them to twist and turn every which way to suit a personal cause rather than a patriotic response to the decisions of the people.
Like the French yellow vests, the British now need to think revolution to turf these unpatriotic traitors from the house and close forever the upper house.
None of these people is in office to do the job they were elected to do and none of them should ever be reelected to serve the people.

Fight back.
" One of these days " --- the queen will have to wear a burka - and pray like a toad. The gutless monnied !! Guess the bunkers are getting prepped.
The Queen will give her Christmas message wearing a Burka.
I don’t think The Guards Regiments will let this happen old chap
Come to South Africa, its lovely down here I say!
it isn't funny it breaks my heart, Beautiful Britain to be gone.
Well, you see, I have learned something, because I had never heard of the Kierkegaardian revolution. Now, I have done, some, very brief, research on it.
I can totally empathise with some of the things that , I think, Peter Hitchen's says. Laughing at the action's of some of these,modern day, politcal clowns. The realisation, that no matter how passionately you hold an opinion or how close to the truth that opinion may or may not be, it is basically meaningless, if it opposes the long term agenda of these self serving sociopaths. These people have the temerity to tell you, that your vote matter's. In the light of the failure to deliver Brexit, what else can you do, but laugh at the absurdity of it all?
First 2.5mins makes complete sense. Though why should 'WE' have to.
The sound of the electric saw in the background ... Genius !!
I've often been accused of pessimism but Peter's pessimism has gone overboard. He's a defeatist. Also a bit of an elitist himself. he has no faith in the English people cos he's never really mixed with them
Given how easily the British gave up their rights and liberties over a virus it’s clear he was absolutely right, he probably overestimated the British public to be honest we’re a pathetic defeated demoralised people
Peter pls interview Robin Tillbrook !
He is fighting in the Courts for Democracy
for this Country !!
Go where? My choice would be Australia but i hate to say this what is happening in this country is Australias future within 15 or 20 years,...i went down under in 99 and loved it i have a saying that the worst thing i ever did was go there the next worst thing was that i was stupid enough to come back.
bob nice .. nope .. mass migration is in full effect here .. theres nothing here except self centred greedy people, with a very broken moral compass, all acting very PC
Don't go. Stay and resist. The Chinese sage, Mencious, stated that expatriation leads to perpetual disenchantment; meaning that once you have left, you cannot truly go back either. Your Australian experience seems to confirm this. My own self-imposed exile from the land of my birth certainly does.
I was at York University in the 1970s. I dont remember Hitchens. Most of the far-left hippie students were full of it. I could imagine him in a "donkey" jacket but as for presence. He didn't exist. I was on the same course and briefly led the Social Science Students Association. I remember the former chair, Greg Dyke. He was an equally empty vessel. For them politics was the new Rock and Roll, with gigs and groupies and the lot. In fact when they actually met a real member of the working class, the popped the champagne and withdrew to the front room.
Smart enough to know they are up to something, but not smart enough to know exactly what it is, therefore they have no use for you.
Bloody hell cheer up it’s like listening to the carpenters
Man, I used to love 'the Carpenters' 😀😀😀😀
One of the most frightening aspects of Britain's society now is how the police arrest you for just "saying" what they consider the wrong thing literally talking can now get you arrested also how woman are now saying they were sexually assaulted by a man who maybe put there hand on there bottom or grabbed there hand we live in the madhouse and its getting worse by the day,mass immigration,political correctness and total respect for islam we are completely f.....d in this country.
Each time we buy a product or service from a global corporation or vote for one of the major parties we are encouraging the removal of our democracy and civilisation whilst increasing the gap between rich and poor.
Peter: Your advice to young people to leave the UK: what makes you think it is different anywhere else? USA? Australia? South Africa? They all followed exactly the same playbook re coronavirus.
“Depressive realism”. I’m afraid I share Peter’s pessimism. I will be in my garden listening to the birds with joint in hand as the world goes up in smoke.
I'm not saying that Peter is mistaken in his assertions - Its just that his brother; at least gave us some hope among the ashes - Peter just hands us unrelenting nihilism, and its taste is more bitter than I can stand
The Sun newspaper hasn’t exactly been a bastion for debate let alone serious debate. It’s been guilty of presenting one viewpoint to a readership either converted or unprepared to take interest in factors which will ultimately affect their lives. With respect to these guys , you cannot seriously accuse ‘ the left ‘ of single handedly dumbing down ‘ our ‘ culture any more than tabloid and regional news papers whom in my part of the country have real difficulty seeing things beyond the most popular opinion in almost every issue they bother to cover.

More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.
Thank you Margaret Corrigan. This is the light I needed to see among the comments. Many are true, and all, but I needed to read HOPE is still around and within us.
These arguments about mass immigration are ridiculous. The world population has increased by 300% since 1950 at 2.5 billion to 7.5 billion in 2019, whereas the population of UK has barely moved by 20%
So to immigrate to other countries you have to prove you can support yourself but not in Europe and the US.
Hitchens speaks a lot of sense
We need a brave heart moment
this is fascinating thank you for posting.
It's quite dispiriting to see someone with a decent mind throw in the towel :(
Giving up doesn't feel like a very British thing, and simply saying 'it's all over' really only pours fuel on the fire. Everyone needs to eat, most people want to live; I'd reason Peter Hitchens wouldn't go down without battering one of his wallet assailants with a tea pot before dying. More positivity yo!
Peter Hitchings is the British equivalent of dignitas.
Peter Hitchens as normal talks at lot of sense.
Come to America. The poisonous seeds of post-modernism have been sown but have not yet fully taken root. The concept of the nation state and individual sovereignty are under assault but are yet resilient. And the weather's nice.
Peter Whittle needs to teach Douglas Carswel about audio
Does anyone know of this *_"I, Claude"_* book he mentioned? I cannot find it!
Do you mean I Claudius by Robert Graves
@@louisemorgan3237 :
That I already knew about. I thought he was talking about a different book.
A very well read intelligent man who speaks a lot of sense. My problem is that I just can’t get Parker from Thunderbirds out of my head when listening to him.
He even has the puppet-like constricted mouth movement to further strengthen the illusion that I’m listening to Lady Penelope’s chauffeur after a intellectual awakening! 🤪
I'm with you Peter. Which Champagne would you recommend?
As unlikely as not, the same Champagne Boris Johnson is - no doubt - consuming in large volumes.
@@dogwithwigwamz.7320 "im not a wine salesman" would be his answer... I like Peter but his absolute giving up of everything is so depressing to someone who is younger than him. I like people pointing out all the stuff that has gone wrong but to offer up no viable solution makes you in league with the ones who caused the mess. "leave the country" just plain silly answer with no substance behind it
Why don’t the police knock on his door? Probably because he is very careful with his words. And because of who he is.
If he were to say in simple words what he’s saying; i.e., that allowing millions of Muslims and Africans into Britain has destroyed the country, the police would have to have a special intraoffice conference call to decide what to do.
What on earth is he talking about? He speaks as if we are living in a socialist marxist totalitarian state. The idea that Blair was a Trotskyist revolutionary is beyond ludicrous.
First time I think Peter and Christopher would agree on something.
The people voted for Blair three times, and have been voting for socially liberal parties for almost 30 years.They have made their choice and let them live with the consequences Peter.
Not all of us voted for that 'thing'.
So where have the royal family been whilst all this has happened.
I am getting to that age now where everyone looks young admittedly but I'm sure that years ago parliament was not the kindergarten that it seems now! I also remember towering intellects that could debate the pants off an opinion even if it was a bad one. I begin to wonder if youth with its terrible associated naivety isn't in fact an appalling disability for which the only cure is years and the healthy dose of the acquired cynicism that it brings.
This guys correct! What do the ?Brits do about it??
Peter is an example of how a conservative lifestyle is conducive to a happy life.
The Ministry of Love is moving inexorably our way.
Publish the book! The obituary of Britain. We are in a desperate mess, and Peter Hitchins talks a lot of sense.
Sadly, I believe he is absolutely correct about the UK, unlike the USA, where things might not be great but as Trump shows, we’re not beyond redemption...
Its being so bright and breezy that keeps Hitchins going.
Peter Hitchens: depressing blighter but perfectly correct - best advice leave the country 👍, the news media is unwatchable, disagreement suppressed...
It's true. Our country has eroded, into a cesspit of low calibre lifeforms, including our own, home grown. Workers cannot prop up the assholes, for much longer. Our country will crash, with us in it, and no fault of the good working class. It's irreversible and inevitable. Get the hell out, if you are able.
Past historical cycles teach us that, like all great societies, the Western World will fall. The concepts of freedom, merit and individual responsibility will be rediscovered, valued, praised and fought for, following a long period of total oppression.
You wanna talk about something of at the end of the. Day relevance, then why would the queen have allowed this to happen ?
Leave Britain, yes but to go where? There is nowhere in the West that has not been taken over or is in the process of being taken over. We are stuck. If the Tories had fallen apart, fine, but where is this party to overturn the cultural revolution;? there isn't one.
Cheerful sort of bloke.
My country my country :(((((((((
Will he admit the role evangelical atheism has had in that?
Britian is now nothing more than a giant theme park devoted to royalty worship, monuments to colonialism, tourist spots with talented buskers, which unfortunately shares the same real estate with a multicultural zoo managed by the cream of it's best public schools.
