Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Peter Hitchens said: “What a twisted society we have become. We stir up wars in other people’s countries and praise ourselves for doing it.
“But there is no political reward for protecting our own people against crime and disorder on their streets and in their homes. It is no longer clear if anyone is governing the country at all, so busy are we putting other nations to rights.
“Burglaries go unprevented, uninvestigated and unpunished, in colossal numbers. Our capital city seethes with uncontrolled knife crime and stinks of marijuana.
“Christmas brings news of terrible ultra-violent crimes in supposedly peaceful suburban areas. Migrants stride boldly ashore in unknown numbers. We pay heavy taxes for pitiful services, cratered roads and a health system that is the envy of nobody.”

Should Britain stick to its own affairs?
You'd think it was invaded by the Soviet Union? This guy doesn't hide his hate… Even on a program supposedly saying Britain has no right to point the finger. Double speak, duplicity, and straight up contradiction. Go Brits 😂
If Russians are Trotskyites then what are Germany or Britain or Italy or Poland? Care to stick a label on them?
Some sound common sense in discussion here, in relation to just about everything. Why UK politicians fail to demonstrate belief in what they do, climate change and slavery. Let's not forget that those whose ancestors suffered as a result of slavery, may also be children that greatly benefited from being in the US and earning vastly more than they would otherwise have done, a few hundred years or so later. Or indeed, that there were not just European's involved in the slave trade but resident black gangs, in operation, capturing their own people for sale to the slave traders. Is anyone going after them for reparations. Thought not. Learn about slavery and all the protagonists and you might see more than one side to this awful part of European history. However, the one thing we can all agree with, is that it simply shouldn't have happened.
Climate Change is real, just not what they think it is. Climate Change is way more complicated than scientific data research and CO2 production is definitely a symptom of a warming environment not a cause. The solution is to plant trees, the only answer that will ever work. Without Carbon Dioxide, there would be no plants and without plants, shrubs or trres, the herbivores would die and without herbivores the carnivores would die. The only thing keeping All of life going is Carbon Dioxide and the process known as photosynthesis, without it, you simply don't exist. Depopulation is what climate change support is all about. If you want to be killed off in the process because you believe the people behind it, you need to wake up and start following the money. That is where you will find all the answers. It's time to smell the coffee. The matrix is almost upon us, you are going to become a human battery if you don't wake up soon. Maybe you like the matrix. As a film, it's brilliant. You won't be plugged in physically, but you will be plugged in virtually. That's what is happening. The rich people will own everything, you will own nothing. WEF tell you that you'll be happy.
Check out the perpetrators of this modern day virtual plug in battery system. You can visit their website. The organisation, WEF. Who else. Don't know who they are yet. I recommend you check them out. All the climate lockdowns that are coming are there entrap you and confine you. Restrict your freedoms and it's all built on lies. That's the real hurt. There's plenty of evidence that shows this to be the case. Noone is listening but, I will be building a channel in 2024 to start providing clarity on this matter. Noone will talk to me. I rather expect they classify me as a nutter. Yet there it is in our geology. Indisputable truth that the Earth has been warmer than it is today, and the sea levels some 20 metres or so higher than they are today, fact. The average person needs to start understanding this global lie. Carbon Dioxide is not the demon they make it out to be. It's the life giver.
Lies, lies and more lies. In everything we see. Data manipulation lying scientists and profiting political players. Where did it all start. Al Gore in the US. He really wanted his big pay day. Tony Blair in the UK. Why did he commit the UK to energy poverty.
If you made it to here, well done. Time for you to look a bit more closely at the main protagonists in all this. WEF, World Economic Forum. Get yourself educated. Don't trust the garbage from the BBC they've closed the case on this one. People like me are simply ignored. Don't be like them. Trust facts. That's all there is left.
This is what 40 years of Conservatism favoring property and financial speculation does to your country. Meanwhile in holland and the Nordic countries they have social democracy. We ought to try it.
Finally you guys speaking sense
Unfortunately, we are an indebted, impoverished, second rate country; furthermore, it is time to acknowledge this fact and stop pretending that we anything but a divided and disaffected nation.
When the fox ends up 'chasing its own tail'… Failed country (Dis) United Kingdom, is melting and The world is laughing at you arrogant, micro-management baffoons.
Bimbo ipod nation left to run an obsolete system, set up by demented beaurocrats, who are out of touch with the 21st century and who designed the kamikaze training which they tried to export to their colonies… The same colonies that spit upon the crown today!!!
I thought Peter was bright. Britain had been paying for the ending of slavery, since it ended it. People may not agree on the means but it was ended and the funding for that came from the brtitish tax payer. It's really that simple.
Take one look at the BBC World Service and you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching an African news channel.
It is unbelievably irrelevant in it's coverage of what's really going on in the world.

He speaks of knowing history, yet Britain only a few years ago paid off its massive debt to end slavery 200 years ago. What more recompense could be paid? The world should be paying us reparations.
The US is in no better domestic state in us you fool
"It seems my choice is between dying of old age in a empty apartment or dying fighting off the burglars that will rob me of my possesions anyway."
I used to think Peter was joking when he said that but I now suspect he is right.
When you would know that Britain rich the bottom? When you find British people that travel to Poland and Czech Republic to work.
Agree 100 percent.
We should butt out of Ukraine and Russia and let them solve their problems while we solve ours.
Both equally corrupt countries BTW.
You guys are amateurs compared to Canada when it comes to being broke, both financially and as a cohesive nation.
When do I get my reparartions from the French for the Harrowing of the North ?
Oh, and the Vikings . . . and the Romans . . .
Yes Peter – let's have pollies with a bit of 'bottom' in Westminster, gravitas even. Conviction Politicians.
1956………….and has never learned a damned thing.
And now is being slowly eliminated with mass immigration!
I do not believe the situation can be reversed.
The feeble Monarchy is just about the measure.
I cannot believe that Hitchens implied that because America is a "top nation" with lots of bombs it is ok for America to go around telling other countries how to run things there. WTF? This shows a total ignorance of what the Ukraine conflict is all about: Russia is taking the lead to ensure that western hegemony comes to an end in a new world order that ensures every country is sovereign and the west should butt out of other country's affairs. Russia has the backing of the majority of countries by population, China, India, Brazil, the Saudis the other Persian Gulf states, and almost all the African nations.
developed nations create much that the world enjoys for free and so can use at no cost to themselves. There is no recompense for that.
Your both wrong our politicians are not incompetent they are taking there orders from the wef one of the criteria was to have put in place was young leaders because they could be easily convinced of the green agenda 2030.
Where are we stirring up wars? Ukraine? They will fight anyway against the invaders
Short answer: Because that's they've always done, it makes their penises hard and its what gets them off.
Having lost the empire . . . and de-industrialized itself to the hilt while focusing most of maths-talent on Finance (stealing the pension funds via trading naked-shorts) and managerial-competence on BP shenanigans the world over.
Wat kind of men are running away from wars. And leaving wifes mothers sisters grandmother's to fight isis.
Modern Britain is the product of 43, near 44, years of Thatcherism (albeit fur-lined during the New Labour era). Before Tories like P Hitchens whine about the current state of the country, they would do well to reflect on this fact
Slavery! Africans of whom were the victims of slavers were put into bondage by their own elites! No European scoured the African hinterland looking for slaves. They were rounded up and caged by their own kings etc. a statue stands in the Nigerian capital of a woman who was one of the most active slavers and is still regarded as a national hero! Maybe Barbados should be putting in a reparation claim to the President of Nigeria and lots of other west African countries? Maybe Ireland and the U.K. should be putting in a claim to the countries in Africa where the Barbary Coast pirates operated from who raided the above coastlines and took whole communities away into slavery? What about the Arabs and Persians who took sub-Saharan Africans into slavery! Should reparation claims be made against their descendants? This current move for reparations is just graft and should be rejected. It’s the British who brought an end to the Atlantic Slavs trade – we have nothing to be ashamed of!
I take it that he's talking about a succession of governments and not the ordinary people
Haha, credit to Hitchens he's nailed it once again. Unfortunately we are indeed being led by career politicians, or should I say, self-serving parasites!
Excellent point about the disappearance of reflexive verbs. Something which the media have intentionally promoted. They must attend language sessions to drop words as they all do it, like the Orwellian language Newspeak.
A straight talker– other countries could do with a similar gentleman
London: can't escape ganga and knife crime.
The only country in the world British politicians have no interest in is Britain
Hitchens right wing whacko
This is what you get with socialism and central planning. Powers should be given to councils and let them try different things. Case in point sunaks maths idea, waste of time and money.
Any "reparations" would go the same way as "devolopment aid": straight into the pockets of the corrupt "leaders" who have kept their countries poor in spite of (or perhaps because of) many years of independence. Britain's main role in the Atlantic slave trade was to abolish it. The Barbery Corsairs' much longer trade in kidnapping and enslaving white slaves for the muslim slave markets was also, after centuries, finally ended by the US and British navies, and the French occupation of Algeria.
Wow…why do this presentation if you have such strong views against slavery? Slavery was real (still is to some extent); denying it is quite foolish.
Isn’t the name Hitchens? Here you make it look like Hitchen! I guess this is talk TV rather than written. Still I can’t believe the great Peter Hitchens would be impressed!
FREE SARGON! LOL "Great, but wrong". A person who was right 500 years ago, on one subject, taking the moral high ground of today. Now, I get it, I think id be the same, but it disguises the incorrections. Hitchens' beauracy ruins his persona. Pull in!
Too many lazy fekkers !!!
Hitchins is talking absolute sense. Many people in parliament are career politicians from University with no previous life experience. They haven't worked in Industry or Commerce or been in the Military. How can they make possibly make sound decisions when they have no serious experience of work to guide them. You might as well ask a class of five year olds to run the country.
Well it's a country that used to have an empire – & quietly wishes it still had that empire
