I love the propaganda advert for the French energy company raking in the cash thanks to the British people's subsidy paid towards the profiteering French state. The ironies abound. Hilarious !
even the ad is propaganda. Hearings have established. there was no planned insurrection or even any insurrection whatsoever yet they keep saying it
I may stop listening if they regularly include interviews in this podcast. Why did they think that people who tune in to hear a few people chatting about a number of topics would want to hear such a long, dry talk on the local elections? The one highlight of this was where the speaker jumped in and corrected Fraser when he followed the MSM line of Labour doing well in London. This was very telling, another example of Spiked's political bias stopping them from looking at the facts.
Abortion is murder! And Ireland are murderers
Why do they say “from Spiked’s perspective”? Does everyone at Spiked have the same view on everything?
Oddly apologist, apeasing episode. After days of the most horrendous brutality unleashed by Russian troops onto Ukrainian civilians, I'm amazed Spiked spend the majority of the episode criticizing the Western response to the crisis. We are at economic war with Russia, in responses to current Russian refusal to stop killing civilians and withdraw Russian troops from sovereign Ukraine. Spiked here is making the critical error of conflating the public decision to not purchase Russian goods, to decline being involved with Russians - as hatred or a phobia. No, the majority of the public are better than you give us credit for: we wish to support Ukraine rather than Russia. The public decided to take a side. By contrast these three presenters seen to be much more comfortable sitting on the fence.
still unsure how whistling Bob the builder is racist.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Hearing from different people and I felt a deeper, more meaningful discussion. I'd like to hear more episodes like this.
Law enforcement officers are resigning in all Democrat states, it's only going to get worse, places like Chicago and Minnesota better ask Hollywood for the blueprints to build ED-209s just to prevent self destruction
She mentions the "Irish border" referring to that between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. That's a fictional border the British created during the partition of Ireland. The Irish border is the sea. Also, the US is a signator of the Good Friday Agreement so it's legally and morally obliged to protect. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the British government who are prepared to rip it up to protect Brexit. They talk about the integrity and unity of the UK and not separating off a region of it yet they clearly need to educate themselves on their history of partitioning other countries. Scotland doesn't even want to stay and Northern Ireland will eventually unify with the rest of Ireland.
why are you ignoring the evidence just released?
great episode and insights as usual. thanks!
It's important to ask what has Trump done in office to get these many votes especially from Black and Latino people. Trump managed to reduce prison sentence for thousands and had given a number of tax cuts and given communities a number of funds. But the question is whether this balances out with Trump's inflammatory response to the race riots.
.m .
Sir Desmond Swayne articulate the point some people feel about the coronavirus response form the government. shame alot of his fellow party members sat in parliament looking sheepish and uneasy as he spoke.
The Democrat Convention, was just one big Trump Derangement Syndrome group therapy session. Kim Klacik will make a difference regards to the Baltimore shithole and highlight that California is also a shithole.
Of course it's China's fault for this damn virus
Why does the UK education system demonize it's countries own history and culture, without colonization civilization wouldn't spread anywhere, besides BLM are self confessed Marxists people who hate western civilization and Christianity
The Transgender paradox is over complicating everything, and transgender children is child abuse.
We need to move away from individual experiences of racism and start looking at the facts. Stephen Lawrence report in 1999 mentions racism among young people and it needs to be addresses at school as young as pre-school. The government NHS workforce, race equality standard report 2019, mentions white applications are 1.46 times more likely to get employed, while the likelihood of a white colleague getting professional development training compared to BME is 1.15. The percentage of BME are over representative in very low bands (pay scale) but are significantly under-represented at pay scales above 5 (around £25k). What does this information actually mean and what is to be done, as well as how to teach young children about racism/equality should be the debate.
