 Good evening everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Thanks for joining me. I hope there aren't any problems with this this evening. I'm smiling because I've just this minute discovered an article on BBC News about Morrissey and he has been parodied by The Simpsons. I'm actually going to let me read it to you a little bit. So it says Morrissey's manager attacks hurtful and racist Simpsons parody. Morrissey appears to have taken offence at The Simpsons after being sent up in the animation's latest episode in the show titled Panic on the Streets of Springfield. Lisa Simpson becomes obsessed with the militantly vegan singer of a 1980s indie band but her dreams are shattered. When it transpires our idol voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch had become a bitter overweight anti-immigrant meat eater. A statement on Morrissey's Facebook called the show hurtful and racist. Surprising what a torn for the worst the writing for The Simpsons TV show has taken in recent years said the statement which was posted by the stars manager Peter Katzis. Looking for that subject is one thing but when a show stoop so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt which he has never looked like at any point in his career makes you wonder who the real hurtful racist group is here. Even worse calling the Morrissey character out for being a racist without pointing out any specific instances offers nothing. It only serves to insults the artist. Down we go and at the bottom it says the singer has also expressed support for the far right for Britain party wearing a badge with its logo during a US TV performance. He has consistently denied being a racist. I love how they put that in. He's consistently denied being a racist. That's how they call you a racist without calling you a racist. But thank you BBC for the mention and thanks Morrissey. I hope you're doing well. I know that Morrissey watches and I hope I hope you're doing well. It also mentions by the way the Hankers area. Hankers area apologizing for playing Appu in The Simpsons. It really has all gotten ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously out of fact. I genuinely don't understand the world anymore. It's one of those stop the world I want to get off situations. But Hankers area who played Appu, one of the funniest characters on The Simpsons has apologised for it. And he said part of me feels like I need to go around to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologise. The character has been criticised for reinforcing racial stereotypes. I genuinely don't know what to say sometimes. I mean, the whole of The Simpsons is a poking fun at just about everyone. So you've got an overweight, white, beer-swilling father in Homer Simpson. Surely that's stereotyping. You have groundsman, grandkeeper Willie, let's not forget about him, mocking Scotland, mocking Scots. But I seriously doubt that anyone who ever plays groundskeeper Willie is going to come out and apologise to every single Scottish person. I mean, it's just pathetic. And I saw this actually going out on Twitter and just every single response from normal people is come on. This is ridiculous. This is the Hankers area thing. It is ridiculous. It is just beyond. The upside to it is though that the more ridiculous they get, the quicker, faster, sooner the backlash is going to come and the backlash is coming. Yeah, I had to start off with that because I just literally just found it before I started. I was having a little rummage around the BBC. Good to see us mentioned on the BBC. Okay, COVID. What's the latest on that? I'm going to talk about COVID passport, COVID passport tonight. Before I do, let's have a little look at where we are with things COVID related this evening, the top five headlines on the BBC related to this. And our India is to be added to a travel red list. So India, Delhi has gone into lockdown again. Never ending. So India is to be added to the red list of countries from which most travel to the UK is banned over concerns about a new COVID variant circulating there from four o'clock, four a.m. On Friday, British or Irish passport holders who have been in India in the previous 10 days will have to quarantine in a government approved hotel, while all other arrivals will be refused entry Health Secretary Matt Hancock said there have been 103 cases of the variant first found in India, detected in the UK and health officials are investigating whether it spreads more easily or is resistant to vaccines comes after President or Prime Minister Boris Johnson cancelled a trip to India. Okay, second one, more than 10 million fully vaccinated in the UK, more than 10 million people of the UK have received their second dose of the vaccine. It means that more than 19% of UK adults are now fully vaccinated. The language here again is interesting. Fully vaccinated going into detail about what that actually means. It doesn't mean that we can take off mass. It doesn't mean that we're not. We can't get it that we can't spread it. But yet they're using the words fully vaccinated hailing the terrific milestone Health Secretary Matt Hancock urged those eligible to get the job as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the UK recorded four deaths within 28 days of a positive test, the lowest daily figure since the 7th of September. I need to point this out again. The way the media has changed how it describes so called COVID deaths. Back when this started, it was tinfoil hat territory to say that they were recording COVID deaths as anyone who died within 28 days of anything of a positive test. Now, even though it was tinfoil hat back then, now it's how the mainstream press is actually describing it. Number three study to reinfect young people with COVID healthy young people who have had COVID-19 are being asked to volunteer for a trial that will deliberately expose them to the virus. The experts behind the study beginning this month want to see how immune system how the immune system copes second time around the ultimate aim is to design better treatments and vaccines. Up to 64 people aged 18 to 30 will spend 17 days in a quarantine unit at a hospital suite and have numerous tests, including lung scans. Okay, number four HSBC bosses to hot desk in post pandemic shake up. Banking giant HSBC has confirmed that top managers in its canary wharf headquarters have lost their offices and will have to hop desk in an open plan floor. The move comes as HSBC pursues plans to shrink its office space by 40%. I think this is going to be quite common. I don't think, well, I don't think we're going back to normal anyway. But this is one normal that we're definitely not going to be going back to. I cannot see officers filled as they were. And I think maybe that's a part maybe if you can find any positives to come out of that thing, maybe that is one. People not sitting in traffic all day, you know, for a couple of hours in the morning or packed tube trains, only to to sit in an office all day. I don't know. I don't know. Okay, I've had a message come through saying there's no chat. So can't forward questions. Can someone let me know what that is? Why we don't have a chat just so I can let people know what that is. Some stuff coming up on my screen here. Technology, technology. Okay, I want to read you an email. Let's get on to COVID passports. And I've been looking at this quite a bit today. There's a few articles I want to share with you, including one from NewsRound. Now, people will know what NewsRound, most people will know what NewsRound is, but some people won't. It is the BBC's news for young people, for children. And it's got a hefty feature on vaccine passports, which I've been reading today, which is actually really interesting. Particularly interesting are the arguments against COVID passports. So it's given you the arguments for and the arguments against. The arguments against don't address freedom at all. So before I get into this and before I read to you and take you through things that I found about this today, I want to tell you about yesterday. And yesterday, a group of us were out, thanks to Gary and Alex for coming all the way over from the Northwest. We were out campaigning yesterday, and afterwards we went to a local beer garden here in Hartlepool. I'm really, really, really struggling with this. I pretty much lost my temper yesterday at this. So we have gone from going in, you can go to a pub, you can go in, walk in the door. This is what we've gone from. So we've gone from, you can go to the pub, you can walk in, sit down, go with whoever you like, for as long as you like, order whatever you want, sit down and eat and drink. No record of it anywhere. Now we've gone from that to having to download an app. This is the first thing I say to you when you arrive, if you downloaded the app, so we have to download an app. Then you're brought to a table, so you're not even able to sit wherever you like, you're brought to a table. You have to go on to the app, you also have to do this NHS track and trace thing. You have to say how many people you're with, you have to say how long you intend to be there. You order your drinks through the app. So everything, your entire visit to the pub is on record, digitally recorded. And we're calling this freedom. So we've gone from being able to go in and into a pub of our own volition of doing what I just described to every aspect of your trip to the pub being recorded. And it's an ordeal just to get into the pub. And we're calling this freedom. We're calling that transition freedom. We now have the freedom to go to the pub. Now what we had was freedom. What we have now is every detail recorded, digitally recorded. Telling the NHS where we are, what we buy, how many people we're with, what time we arrive, how long we intend to stay, all of it digitally recorded. And like I say, it's become an ordeal. So this is what we're now calling freedom. That's the part that really, really gets me, is that we are calling this freedom. We're getting our freedoms back. We've lost our freedoms and we're calling it getting our freedom back. It actually fits, it's actually completely apt for the world that we live in now. Everything, everything is upside down. Everything is, it's unfathomable. It's like non-binary. It's absolutely unfathomable. But it fits. And it's very 2021. That massive bureaucratic regulation on our trip to the pub has been labelled freedom. Absolutely, absolutely appropriate for 2021. Okay, so first thing I want to read to you, I've just sent another message to you. So apparently chat is on. Okay, it is. Okay, so I will, I will have questions. Okay. I've had an email today from Alan. And I want to read it out to you in full before I get onto these articles and to just show you how things have dramatically changed in a mere matter of months with regards this COVID passport. So he writes, I have copied a telegram message I got from one of the members of the Light newspaper group. You might remember me speaking about them recently. For example, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes for them. So it's a sort of a free speech newspaper that has emerged out of the pandemic and the lockdowns and all of this. And I've actually been interviewed by them, which is, which is nice. That should be, that should be coming up soon. Okay, so this is from a member of the Light newspaper group who talks about a leak from Whitehall outlining what plans they have for us. And here it is. This is the quote. It says, a Whitehall source directly linked to the COVID response has said that the UK government have already structured a detailed plan designed to neutralize each stage of lockdown easing, including the compliance of media outlets to help with spreading the fear message. The Whitehall source said he has been increasingly concerned with how the government are behaving and that their relationship with the truth is now not even on nodding terms. The latest plan will involve a series of crises around drug supply, mutant strains, and third waves. We can already see this. We can already see new strains, new variants. And there's already been a little bit of a argument, I don't know, between the UK and the EU about vaccines and supply of vaccines. These will be specifically choreographed to condition the public for further lockdowns and vaccine passports. The plan that is designed to take us to September 27th is to be released in stages over the summer months and according to Whitehall source is already well underway. On March 8th, the first milestone of the roadmap was implemented with school children finally returning to class. The following day Chris Whitty gave a pre-written speech to the Commons that said schools reopening would cause another surge in the virus. And ended with, let me be clear, many, many more people will die before this is over. This sound bite obligingly repeated on every news outlet. On March 29th, the second milestone of the roadmap was implemented. The government said the evidence shows that it is safer for people to meet outdoors rather than indoors and this is why when most schools start to break up from the Easter holidays, outdoor gatherings of either six people or two households will also be allowed to make it easier for family and friends to meet outside. The next day the AstraZeneca vaccine was again stopped due to blood clot flers despite it being cleared the previous week. The third milestone saw pub gardens and non-essential shops reopen followed immediately by news of a second vaccine being halted for fear it was caught in blood clot. Next milestone was on May 17th with the government relaxing social contact rules for an opening of indoor venues. This will be followed by a story that the mutation is worse than first thought. The final milestone was due on June 24th where all restrictions were promised to be lifted but this will not be allowed to happen. Okay, vaccine passports, track and trace will be mandatory as well as masks and social distancing. The entire week of the 24th will be taken up by a third wave. Okay, now I can't vote for any of that but the reason I'm reading it to you is because it is starting to look like it could be the case. To me, it's starting to look like it could be the case. Now I'm going to show you this now. February, sorry, I'm having a bit of an internet issue actually. It's not playing ball with me this evening. I'm getting a lot of freezing. Okay, so in February, this is from the 7th of February this year the government and the vaccines minister Nadim Zahawi, this is, remember, February the government has no plans to introduce vaccine passports to Britain. No plans. In his strongest remarks against the case for documentation proving an individual has been inoculated the minister responsible for the vaccine rollout said that is not how we do things in the UK. In his strongest remarks against this, he said that's not how we do things in the UK. This is February. Here is March. The UK government is funding companies that are producing technology which will utilize digital face scans to check people's vaccination status and allow or block them from entering pubs, stadiums and other venues. They must have been doing that while saying there was no plans for this. Britain's could have their faces scanned to allow them to access pubs, gigs and sports events under one government funded plan being drawn up for vaccine passports reports the times. Two companies, Mven and I prove are working together on the system after being given a 75,000 pound grant by the government having already worked with the NHS on facial recognition technology in the face of a contact tracing app. The technology is being proposed as a solution to concerns that presenting vaccination status via an app on a phone will be too slow when multiple people are entering a busy venue. Andrew Bud, the CEO of one of these companies said whoever is standing on the door of a pub is going to have to scan the certificate, read the name and date of birth, then ask the person for an ID document, check that the name and date of birth on the ID document are the same, squint at the photograph on the ID document and then make sure that the person in front of them is that person. That's not going to happen. Bud said that the facial recognition system would reduce this process to a matter of seconds streamlining the system. It speeds the process up and it absolves people of what would otherwise be a very heavy responsibility, he added. After months of promising there would be no domestic vaccine passport, every indication is now that the government is going ahead with it. Millions of Brits will refuse to submit to digital face scans to go about their everyday business, but the majority are likely to accept it without question. Creating a two-tier society where those who resist the biosecurity surveillance state will remain in a de facto state of lockdown. This again underscores the fact that the vaccine passport is a digital identity card that citizens will be expected to carry at all time and use whenever they engage in basic commerce or normal leisure activity. That's from the times. So February, no vaccine passport. You won't have to prove, by the way, just to be clear what we mean by vaccine passport. It's proof documented one way or another that you have had a vaccination, the COVID vaccination. We were told in February that this was not going to happen. This is not how we do things in the UK. In March, we're told not only are the government funding research into this, but research so that it can be done by facial recognition, because an actual, say, something on your phone would be too slow and people might lose their phone. So the direction to go in with that is something biological. So a chip or, as is being researched now, with government money, facial recognition. China has already linked its coronavirus passport. China has a vaccine passport, which probably won't come as a surprise to anybody. It has already linked it in with its social credit system in China. And China's social credit system is... Look this up. If you haven't watched this, this is absolutely horrifying. So it will list 24-hour surveillance of people for a start. And then a minor infraction, for example, would be buying too much junk food, buying too much alcohol, walking your dog and letting your dog off a leash, for example. Crucially, it monitors what you buy online and gives you a credit scoring, a social credit score on the basis of it. And also cameras around the place, people for jaywalking, for example. So it's monitoring, constant monitoring. But one thing that you can be downgraded for, lose points for, is having a friend online who has a low credit score. So you will lose some of your credit score if you have a friend who has a low credit score. If you post something on Twitter that is... By the way, I'm not making this. This is happening in China. And China has already linked its COVID vaccine with its social credit score. So if you don't have a high credit score, you can be prevented, for example, from travelling. And an example that I've watched, I've watched a man in China and I watched him attempt to book a high-speed train and he was not allowed to book a high-speed train because his social credit score is so low. He's not allowed to book a flight either and you watched him try to do this and a message came up saying you don't have enough points or whatever it is. It sounds like something out of science fiction, but it is actually real and it's real in China. China, as I say, has linked its coronavirus vaccine to that already. But here's absolutely... Here's something that's terrifying, but it's all terrifying. China is petitioning the World Health Organization to allow it to organise and run a global COVID vaccine system. Remember the relationship between the World Health Organization and China. The WHO is basically a propaganda arm for China, much like much of the world is actually a propaganda arm for China. So they've already got this relationship. Remember it was a WHO that's lied on China's behalf early on in this pandemic saying that this was not transmissible from person to person. This is what China said knowing full well that wasn't true and the WHO said the same and allowed this thing to spread all over the world in its little cosy friendship with China. So China is now petitioning, asking the WHO to appoint it to facilitate... to originate, to facilitate and to run a global COVID vaccine system. This, by the way, and repeat this again, this is what we are calling freedom. We are coming out of a pandemic into a global China and we're calling it freedom. And we were told a month ago by our own government that this is not going to happen and that this is not how we do things in the UK. I'm going to have to apologise as I'm getting a lot of freezing on here this evening. I don't know why. Okay, just in case you still have doubts that a global COVID passport could be real and that this is some sort of crazy tinfoil hard conspiracy theory. Everyone's favourite, and yes that is sarcasm, everyone's favourite former prime minister has called it inevitable a global COVID vaccine which, you know, if it's too cumbersome to run it with something on your phone for example or a piece of paper going to the pub, so we're looking at facial recognition. If that's too much of an issue, then imagine what it's going to be for global, for a global COVID vaccine. Of course it's going to be some sort of facial recognition or some sort of chip for this to work, practically speaking for this to work. Inevitable says Tony Blair, digital health passports will become inevitable in the UK and around the world as the public demand reassurance about coronavirus safety, Tony Blair has said. Speaking to Radio 4's week in Westminster, the former Labour Prime Minister said that a document that combined vaccination and testing status would allow nations to defend themselves better against the virus. Blair warned that the poorest at home and abroad were suffering most from continued lockdowns and urged Boris Johnson to use the UK's hosting of the G7 summit to speed up the process of global cooperation on a standardised COVID status passport. He predicted that rapid coronavirus tests would become the norm at mass spectator events and the workplace as the public sought reassurance about safety at work and places of leisure. First of all, the only reason the public is seeking reassurance is because they have been terrified, been terrified by politicians and the media. The public would not be so concerned about this if they weren't absolutely petrified by the very same people who are now calling for vaccines to make people feel safe. It was you that terrified them in the first place and now you want to take away all their freedoms to give them back this safety. This is mass public manipulation of psychological abuse of the highest order, psychological abuse of the public. The former Premier also said that the pandemic should be viewed as a national security issue. Hyping it up, ramping up the fear factor again. He's going to make people afraid and then offer them a solution to the fear he has placed upon them in the first place. This is how it works. That's how it works. Frighten them and then offer them safety from the fear that you have created. The price of that safety will be their liberty. National security issue and admitted that when he was in power dealing with bird flu, he had failed to grasp the need to invest much greater sums in antivirus resilience. A Cabinet subcommittee met on Friday to discuss plans for a vaccine and testing certificates for when global travel resumes. So there's been a Cabinet meeting to discuss vaccine passports. Two months after the government told us that this was not going to happen, there's a Cabinet meeting to discuss making it happen. In his interview, Blair said that as vaccines rolled out across the world and countries moved to reopen their borders, digital health passports would be seen as an inevitable, invaluable weapon in containing the spread of the virus. When you start to reopen your borders again, you'll want to know the disease status of people coming into your country, he said. Once vaccination really starts to be widespread, of course you're going to ask for proof of what the vaccination status is. And the reason for that is that the early evidence seems to be that if you're vaccinated, you're less likely to transmit the disease. The language again, really, really, really important, the language that is used here, is less likely to transmit the disease. So the reason the language is so important in it is because they need to keep it nice and vague. First of all, it ramps up the fear factor. Vague is always frightening. But it's also so that they can manipulate, move around. It's almost a, we never said that. All we said is that the vaccine makes you less likely. Five minutes later, in another context, they'll say, you have to have the vaccine because it's the only way to protect yourself. So what exactly is going on? Because of these new variants, this is Tony Blair continuing, because of these new variants and because of the mutations that are going to occur. And again, this fits with what we were told over here in this apparent leak, which again, I can't vote for. But it's all sounding very feasible and plausible to talk about mutations, to talk about new variants, to keep moving the goalposts. Because of these new variants and because of mutations that can occur, I think it's just inevitable and therefore it's best to start now, of course it is, it's best to start now on trying to devise common standards. If you start to do this on a vast scale, you're going to need the technology that allows you to do it digitally. Blair, who's pushed for ID cards, met with fierce civil liberties opposition when he was in office, suggested that a combined vaccine and test status document would have popular backing. Because you're frightening people. You're frightening people into backing it. That's fine. But what's interesting as well is how he talks about devised common standards. That's vague speak for global. It has to be the same all over the world. So we're going to have a global imposition of some sort of digital recognition. And like I told you, China, whose country runs in the way I've described to you, if you buying too much junk food, if you are watching the wrong stuff on YouTube, if you post something on Twitter that the powerful don't appreciate you lose your credit score and won't be able to travel, that China is in the running to facilitate, to provide the world with a global COVID passport. And we're calling this freedom. That's what really, really, really gets me about all this. We're calling it freedom. But here's a little twist, which is quite interesting. This is an article from the 14th of April. So last week, it's in the Guardian. COVID status certificate scheme could be unlawful. Discrimination says the European EHRC. European Human Rights Commission. Equalities Watchdog tells government documents could create a two-tier society, COVID status certificates being considered by ministers. So here we are, matter-of-factly saying that they're being considered by ministers. Even though in February, we were told by the same ministers, it's never going to happen. It's not how we do things in the UK. Now, articles are opening, matter-of-factly stating, status certificates being considered by ministers to help open up society. There it is again, to give you back your freedom. We're going to make you digitally, we're going to record you digitally, based recognition. That's freedom. Are you enjoying your freedom? To help open up society could amount to unlawful, indirect discrimination. The government's independent Equalities Watchdog has advised, as ministers decide whether documents should be introduced as passports to certain events later this year, the Equality and Human Rights Commission has told the cabinet office, they risk creating a two-tier society. Not everyone will be vaccinated. Not everybody is eligible for vaccination yet. So some people will be allowed to go to things, some people won't be allowed to go to things, they'll have a two-tier society. We've already got, this is an interesting twist, but just to one more point, one more interesting little twist on this, is these events, there are some events where this is going to be trialled now, and Ian Brown, the former leader of the Stone Roses, he has said that he has cancelled an event in Manchester that this was going to be trialled. He said he's not going to perform at an event, he's against this, and he's spoken out against it. Interestingly, there's an article here from NMA. Fans call on Transmit, TRN, SMT Festival to replace Ian Brown after COVID vaccine comments. How Ian Brown is still getting booked after this year is beyond me, was one comment. So this festival has faced backlash from fans after confirming that Ian Brown will play the Glasgow event later this year. So what's happening there is that you have the mob, who want him de-platformed, cancelled, so we've got cancelled culture, expanding to include anyone who speaks out against vaccine passports. So anyone who speaks out against this digital health record tyranny that we are going into that calls itself freedom, anyone who speaks out against that, the cancelled culture has come for them, and fans are now outraged that Ian Brown is still playing an event, even though he spoke out against vaccine passports. So that's where we are, terrifying, absolutely terrifying. I do want to get to some questions, but I do want to quickly have a look at, and I'll post all these on my GABA account after this, the children's article on the BBC about the vaccine passports. I just went very, very quickly to tell you what the arguments before and against them are according to the BBC, what it's on its children's news round. So people who support vaccine passports argue that it's a very good way of safely opening up different parts of the UK. There it is again. This is not opening up. This is regulating to the point of imprisonment. This is not freedom. People who have been vaccinated are less at risk of catching coronavirus and becoming seriously ill if they do. Scientists also believe there is emerging evidence that some vaccines like the Pfizer vaccine appear to slow the spread of the disease. So just get our heads round this for a second as well. We're getting this digitalised health record thing because it's not going to be limited to this. We know this. It's going to basically spy on us. If we're going in that China direction, worst case scenario, but to be fair, I'm not sure that the worst case scenario is impossible or even improbable at this point. But it's all based on a vaccine that may or may not slow the spread of the disease. So we're being digitalised. The joy has been taken out of absolutely everything. I mean, going to the pub is an ordeal. Going shopping is an ordeal. I went into a costa the other day to get a little coffee and it was an ordeal. You have to stand here while you're waiting to go in because there's two people serving and you can only have someone here and someone here. So you have to wait over here. And then when that part frees up, you can go stand there. We were actually told, I must have moved a few inches from where I was supposed to stand and I was told to get back. I mean, this is an ordeal. It was for a coffee. This is not freedom. And it's all based. It's all happening over a vaccine which even in their own admission may or may not stop the spread of the disease. It may or may not stop you getting seriously ill. Our entire society has become a cumbersome, bureaucratic, joyless, paranoid nightmare because of this. So to continue with this. So it's argued that being able to show you have been vaccinated means that cinema, sports venues and concert might be able to open up, say this is not opening up. At the moment the government say that the passports would not have to be used for going into shops or on public transport. Well, we've got no reason not to trust the government, do we? February, no plans. March, plans. And those plans were happening in February when they were telling us there were no plans and no doubt about it. It's also argued that the passport could make it easier for people to travel. It would allow travelers to move safely between different countries or regions without the fear of contracting the virus and also being able to reassure the countries they are visiting that they are less likely to bring it in. There have also been discussions around vaccine passports and jobs, for instance, making it a condition of a job such as an also care home worker to have the vaccine to protect the people they look after. So the arguments for a COVID vaccine passport are all about freedoms. We're opening up society again. It'll protect people. In the arguments against, there is absolutely no mention of civil liberties or the fact that we are digitalising people. And by the way, I watched a video today as well of Boris Johnson a few years ago saying that if he were ever required by the state to carry an ID card and he was only talking about a plastic ID card, he said he would put it in a food blender and put it on his conflict. He's completely dismissed the idea. Absolutely no way. It was, he said, a route to tyranny and oppression. His exact words. ID cards. Just a little plastic ID card is the road to tyranny and oppression. That was Boris Johnson. Now we're talking about facial recognition to go into a sporting event. So in the BBC's arguments against nothing, no mention of civil liberties at all, some feel the introduction of a vaccine passport could lead to people being discriminated against. This means that some people would be excluded from certain activities. For instance, only certain parts of the population have been vaccinated. At the moment in the UK, it's only people aged over 50, those who work in certain types of jobs and people with illnesses or disabilities that make them vulnerable to serious illness. Also, there are some groups that can't have the vaccine because of a medical condition and of course at the moment children aren't allowed to have the vaccine. As well as that, it's important to say that the vaccine isn't compulsory in the UK, although people are strongly encouraged to have it. They can choose not to. So there are worries that if businesses and attractions decide to ask people to show they've had a vaccine before they come in, it may not be fair on those people who haven't had it. There's also the issue of vaccination around the world. The most vaccinated countries are at the moment the wealthiest countries which can afford to buy lots of vaccines for their populations. And that's it. That's the BBC's arguments against Covid passports. No mention at all of civil liberties. Okay, let me go on to some questions. What are your thoughts on the expected Conservative win in the Hartley-Truel by-election? I'm not sure they will win, to be honest. It's certainly very... I was actually just this evening looking at the list of candidates. It's a long, long list. Look, there is no difference between Labour and Conservative in terms of parliamentary politics, not the difference between local politics much either. But certainly in parliamentary politics there's no difference between Labour and the Tories so it's much of a muchness. We need to get rid of both parties. That is the only way we're going to save the country, the only way we're going to get our freedoms back. Remember, this is all happening. All this I've just spent the last 45 minutes talking about. It's all happening on a Conservative government and Conservatives are supposed to be more freedom-leaning, aren't they, than the left? Look! Some of this stuff is Chairman Mao territory and these are Conservatives. They're the same. They're absolutely all the same. So I'm not... It's much... six and one-half a dozen of the other, to be quite honest with you. Any thoughts about the consequences for Kirchstam or after his own bodyguard and the landlord in Bath after being asked to leave the pub? The landlord claims he was assaulted. Do you know, I watched that this afternoon and... I mean, I've always thought that Kirchstam was completely inept. Anyway, he's a bad public speaker. He has zero principles. He will say one thing on Monday and the complete opposite on Tuesday and no one ever seems to call him out on it. He's got... No one has called him out either on his record when he was head of the CPS and there's a lot of questions to answer there. In fact, in fact, that's what I'm going to do next week. Let's talk about Kirchstam and let's particularly look at his record in the Crown Prosecution Service. I've always thought he was absolutely dreadful. I still think he's absolutely dreadful because I was watching him outside this pub today and this guy is saying to him, you know, you... It's your... I've voted Labour all my life. You have provided, and quite rightly, too. And his man was articulate and knew exactly what he was saying. He was really quite impressive. And he told him, you have provided no opposition at all to the Tory government. None. And he's right. They haven't. And that's what I've just been saying about the Tories potentially winning in... I'm not sure they will, by the way. I think Labour might win it by a small majority. But it's much of a muchness. They're the same. And he quite rightly pointed out to Stammer that he had provided zero opposition to the Tories and all of this. He said, you have my kids to wear masks in school. You haven't questioned this. And his title is leader of the opposition. Nothing. He has opposed nothing. We've gone through the most dramatic, dramatic year in my lifetime, politically and socially and in every other way. Civil liberties have been taken in one bell swoop, just gone. And we're reopening with massive bureaucracy and surveillance and... just... it's just joylessness. Just gone. Not the joy is gone. So it's been a hugely dramatic year and a half. And this man is quite right. Stammer has done nothing to question the government on these enormously dramatic life altering, laws that they've brought in and things that they've done. And it's Stammer's job to hold them to account and he's just gone along with every bit of it. And when this man was saying it to Stammer that you've let us down, you haven't done your job, he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. It's a bit like Mad Hancock-like, rabbit in the headlines. Just not no... All he would say back was I disagree. There's nothing... it's just nothing there. There's nothing there. It's just cardboard cut out. I don't mean to be rude, but the standard to think of the characters that have historically stood in the House of Commons and been members of the House of Commons, the standard has really, really dropped. And Kirstammer is probably one of the most prominent examples of it. But he just had nothing. He had no response, he had no... he just silently stood there and after a few minutes of this started to say I disagree, I disagree. Oh, absolutely infuriating. Infuriating to think these people are in the House of Commons. Stu, good evening Stu. The West has fallen and two countries have offered you political asylum. North Korea and China. Please choose. Well, I'm trying to find a way to squeeze Willy Nilly into this while you're Stu. It's not a choice you would make Willy Nilly, is it? Look, we are North Korea and China. Well, no, we're not. We're not quite yet. But like I said, I've just spent... I spent 45 minutes talking about how we've gone from this isn't happening, this is not how we do things in the UK, to facial recognition. We have a former Prime Minister, which I don't know why he won't just go away calling it inevitable that we will have global vaccine passports. China, which has a social credit system that punishes people for things that are basically human. Petitioning the WHO to institute a global vaccine identity passport thing. So worst case scenario, there won't be much of a difference anyway. This coincides to me, this coincides with the rise of China. China's been rising for a long time and it's been rising nice and quietly. It's been making itself, it's been buying influence and power all over the world and it's been slowly, quietly raising itself up to be a genuine competitor to the United States as world leader. And this of course, COVID has rushed this process along. We lost Trump, meaning we lost a US president that would have fought this and who was trying to fight this. He's been replaced with an absolute accommodationist, China accommodator. One of my favorite memes of all time is a picture of Joe Biden wearing a baseball cap saying, make China great again. Perfect. So all of this coincides with a, the rise of China, a China like society seems to be in the offing, and I genuinely don't think that that's fear mongering. I really don't think it is because of what I've read out this evening. Clearly, Stu, I wouldn't want to live in either of those countries. But look, even though I'm saying all this, I actually think we are, we can absolutely come back from this. I think the more absurd, the more draconian, the more Orwellian, the more rabbit hole, the whole thing becomes, the greater the resistance to it will be. And this is Britain. It's not China. It's not North Korea. It's Britain. And there's still, there's still a backbone in the British. It's just a matter of bringing it out in them again and giving back the confidence to the British people, that that confidence, that's something that unique Britishness that will make them resist this. And I think what they need is political change and political leadership that will restore the British confidence of this to resist this. I needless to say, I think for Britain is that party. Okay. A couple more. James, how do you, how do you feel about the tests being said to have a less than 3% success rate? I mean, you just, it's just great, it's just part of it, isn't it? Part of the lie that we're living in. We're living in lies. We're living in absurdities and lies and this is just another part of it. It's a similar, James, to what we're talking about with the, we're turning society into a prison with a vaccine and a vaccine passport that may or may not prevent things. It's the same thing. It's the same, none of this has been clear from the start. It's all about may or may not and we're transforming our society on things that we don't even know for sure. We're not in any way clear about and that to me is the same thing, the same part of it. Mass reviews on Russia and Ukraine. I'll tell you what, I want to come back to that one next week. Let me make a quick note of that one because that one could take a bit of time, a bit of reading as well, but let's do a little reason. I promise I'll come back to that next week. How do you feel about intensively and continuously testing healthy people for no reason, especially given our vulnerable groups in society already being vaccinated? I think what that does is keep the fear going and the purpose of continuous testing is it's part of, it's a regimenting, it's people keeping people regimented, it's keeping people controlled. It's fear. It maintains the fear factor. For example, you know, if we've been tested twice a week at schools and various, this keeps the fear, it keeps the regimented nature of things going and it, more importantly and more significantly, it keeps the fear factor alive and that fear factor has to be there for a institutional transformation from freedom to bureaucracy and facial recognition in order for us to concede to this theft of our basic liberties, the fear factor is absolutely paramount and what constant testing does is keep that fear factor alive and keeps it regular and make sure it doesn't disappear anywhere. Constant testing reminds us of the danger of this or the apparent danger of this regularly. Twice a week, we need to be reminded that we're in danger. When do you think we could realistically take the wards from the main parties? Do you think we have it? Of course I do. Of course I do. You know, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe in what we're doing. I absolutely do and I, you know, I repeat what I said. It is a difficult question, Paul. You've written. It is a difficult question, I know. Look, of course I believe we can do it and the more they change our society, the more resistance will grow. That's the inconvenient balance that governments don't like, that the more they impose upon us, the more resistance grows. I can't give you a time, Paul, because life is very unpredictable as we know and as we've figured out in the last year and a bit, but absolutely yes, of course we can. Of course we can. And I fundamentally and firmly believe that we will. But I haven't got a crystal ball. I do think we will do well this year, but I can't give you a date, Paul. I wish I could. Frankie, did you hear that Biden has repeatedly ruled out vaccine passports? Biden is better than Boris Johnson. Well, he may be ruling them out now, Frankie. Let's see, let's see, let's not forget that only two months ago in February we were ruling them out as well. That's not how we do things in the UK, said our government. Meanwhile, while saying that, they were now cabinet meetings, cabinet meetings about how to institute what they told us in February was absolutely not going to happen. Right, finally, Amanda. I'm really happy to read Vernon Coleman's book Endgame, The Hidden Agenda 21. I haven't, but it's going on my list. And I will read that ASAP. And I'll do a little book review on it. Okay, that's it. Thanks very much everyone for joining me this evening. Remember though, I, you know, I finished with, I absolutely believe this could be turned around. I meant every word I said about this is not China. This is Britain. And if anyone can resist this, if anyone can turn this around, it's Britain. It's the British people. There's no one like them. And I genuinely and firmly believe that none of this, despite what Tony Warcraft Blur says, none of this is inevitable. I really do wish he'd go away. Okay, finally, I want to say thank you to all of our amazing candidates and those who are supporting our amazing candidates. I know how hard everyone is working. I must, I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward to Election Day. I'm looking forward to getting a bit of, I guess a little bit of normality back. Looking forward to doing more. I do, I mean, I love, it's what it's all about, election campaigning. But I am looking forward to getting a little bit of normality back afterwards. And as a, what I'm really looking forward to actually, well, it's not normality, is it? But what I mean by that is actually, what reminded me to say that was I want to do a book review on this. And I've been so busy with campaigning that I just don't have the time for doing things like this. That's what I mean. It'll be old normality. It'll be a new normality. I'm not going to use the word new normal. And I will, all going well, be running amok on Hartleby Council come May. Good luck, everyone. Keep working very hard. I know you are. And I'm so grateful and so proud to absolutely all of you. And to everyone who's helping you. Right. Don't forget to go to the for Britain shop, please, as well. And very finally, we'll be back. Got a couple of, I am recording a couple of streams this week. I do want to ask you for your help with campaigning. If you can come to Hartleby to help me, that would be great. Thank you. If you are, if you can help any of our candidates, please, please do. It's a lot. It is a lot of hard work. It really is. And all help is needed. Okay. Okay. I think that's it. I have a feeling there's something in my mind that I wanted to say, but it's not coming to me. Whatever it is, it's not coming. Oh, yeah. Okay. Facebook live stream will be back on Wednesday morning at 10. Next week. I will try. I will try the, despite how busy it's going to be in the next couple of weeks. I will try and get that book read, Amanda, and do a review of it. Okay. That's it. We're running over again. Thanks very much, everyone. Take care of yourselves as always. Keep working hard. Thanks to everyone for your support. I shall see you back here live next Monday at half past seven. Take care of yourselves. Bye-bye. Thank you for watching.
