 Good evening, everyone. You're very welcome. Welcome to my Monday night live stream. Thanks as always for joining me. I have just just before just before I pressed go live been going through some things that people have been sending me today and I think it's crucial that I share some of this with you. I'm going to talk about medical records tonight, how safe they are, what is happening to them, what's happening to them as a result of COVID-19 and whether or not you're happy with that. I want to talk a little bit about GameStop as well and what's been happening with that this video games retailer and something that happened on the stock market but I'm going to be writing about that in some detail at my economics blog tomorrow as well. But there's things that have come in that I do want to talk to you about as well that I've just seen today and literally before I started this stream. One of them is about the US election last year and this was sent out on social media today by Pat Condell with the addition of the comment that people keep asking where is the evidence? Where is the evidence of fraud in this election? Well here it is. I will share this video with you in full on both on Gab and Twitter when I'm finished here this evening but I do want to take you through just in case you don't see all of it, I want to take you through the snippets at the end, factual snippets at the end and I want to do that in just a minute. Before I do a couple of things from this week we had on Saturday our candidate training a session, a Zoom session for a couple of hours on Saturday and I again want to thank Eddie, Mike and Miriam for brilliant presentations on that you can see that online. I genuinely, I've been doing this for a long time at risk of blowing our own horn, well let's let's blow our own horns for a while. I've been a local government candidate before, more than once. I've been a parliamentary candidate before as well, more than once and I've never been given this kind of advice or guidance by any in any party or anywhere before. I wish I'd had this kind of advice. It was absolutely excellent and it is a blueprint, a blueprint of what we plan to do as a party, how to stand for election, how to campaign effectively and I want to thank the members who are stepping up to be either to be candidates or to support candidates and you've no idea how important this is and these elections are really important and I will be standing myself for the first time in a long time, I don't need actually dawned on me on Saturday during this, that the last election campaign I was personally involved in was the UKIP leadership so I haven't stood for election for a long time and I'm very excited to do it again. Won't be an easy one this time around, they're never easy, they are enjoyable, they are a life experience but they're never easy but we've got extra difficulties this time around with like it's just with everything including my hair, I need it, I'm back there, I'm going there again, restrictions that we're going to face which we haven't faced before and the most effective way of campaigning isn't social media particularly if you're in a position like ours and social media isn't kind to you, the most effective way of campaigning is door to door and we still don't know exactly what we're going to be allowed to do as it stands we're not even allowed to deliver leaflets or at least the candidate themselves are not allowed to deliver leaflets they can use a paid service to do it which will favour obviously the big part of the whole thing I mean I've said this before so I won't labour the point but the whole thing favours the establishment and the status quo so they're going to make it as difficult as possible for us but whatever we will find our way around these things they've put obstacles in your way the secret to success or one of the secrets to success is to find a way around the obstacles that are put in your way okay I'm going to remind you of the shop for britain.shop my book in defense of democracy is available on there I've been spending some time signing copies as well would you have a little bit of a delay on that because they do have to sort of move around and as I have to sign them it's not the fastest thing in the world but they are beyond terror and in defense of democracy are available on that as well as some fantastic t-shirts and this anti-woke t-shirts and British products British products remind you of this every week and remind you to let us know if you know of any good producers of of British products because the Sharon tells us shamefully it isn't easy to find British products in Britain and what does that tell you questions please like and share and the usual social media stuff please okay before I get on to the US elections let's have a look at the news as you expect coronavirus coronavirus coronavirus it's I saw I saw a video the other day and I see a lot of videos and people send me a lot of things and please do keep doing it I'm seeing a lot of repeats a lot of people saying the same things but it getting as usual no widespread or mainstream coverage one of the things I saw the other day which I found I hadn't considered this it hadn't come into my mind before was a difference between this lockdown and the very first lockdown and the point was made that in the first lockdown we were looking for a way out and this was a discussion that was continuing what's the way out of this that seems to have faded away and almost there's almost an acceptance a public acceptance that this is here if not to stay then for a very very very long time this is not was not the case in the first lockdown and that worries me public acceptance of this and a reduction in concern about what is our way out of this bothers me quite a lot we see that the news now isn't necessarily getting back to normal although I saw Mr inaccurate Neil Ferguson saying that we should be kept in lockdown now until autumn but a lot of the news surrounding this is about vaccines and new strains and we have these new strains coming out of nowhere and we're being told then that this vaccine that was meant to be our way out of this is not as effective so the news the news has changed the news is no longer this is a temporary situation which we are our primary concern is finding a way out of the news has changed the vibe of the whole thing has changed that's no longer the overriding theme the overriding theme now is within coronavirus rather than how we're getting out of this so the headlines today on the BBC's front page PM very confident in COVID vaccines used in the UK over 70s can contact NHS for COVID jab sport and music should be part of England's pupil catch up NHS gown suspended due to packaging concern it's become almost entrenched and we keep hearing about this new normal and if you look at the news headlines you will see that this has become our new normal and the news is not now about when it will end the news is about different stories within this new reality entrenched is the word that that's been to mind this is now a part of life the primary part of life and I saw I want to make this just come into my head and I want to mention it I saw a social media post the other day from Paul Joseph Watson which really struck a chord with me and I want to mention it I can't tell you it word for word but it was the government is showing us the precedent has now been set that the government can and will take away normal life all of it and tell us what we need to do how we need to behave what restrictions we need to lift off of ourselves by our behavior in order to get scraps of our normal life back and that is absolutely true and really very alarming they have done exactly that they have taken normal life away from us and they are dangling it in front of us and telling us do as you're told we'll keep moving the goalposts about what we expect from you but do as you're told you're not getting any of your normal life back they are promising returns for the end of lockdown for example it was going to be spring then it was going to be summer then it was going to be winter then it's going to be spring again maybe summer Neil Ferguson pipes up with actually it could be autumn and we're still we're still in the same situation where the lockdowns we're being told is reducing this all-rate it's like groundhog day and I'm still puzzled and bewildered as to how they expect the all-rate to go if and when they start easing these lockdowns will they when the easer lockdown won't the numbers go back up again and when we then have to go back in to lockdown again so we're it's groundhog day we're back where we started last year but I did love that tweet from Paul Joseph Watson I found it very it sort of summed it up summed it up very clearly that the president has been said and it's been normalized now to the wider public not to many of us of course but it's been normalized to the wider public that the government has this much control and this much power and who knows what they will use it for again in the future we have of course got options and those options are to stop accepting this and to go out and start voting for someone else and may is a chance for us to do that and that's why i'm so proud of the four britain candidates and activists who are coming forward to step up and to stand for the bravest party in the country and we are the bravest party in the country okay let me go through the bbc's top five just to see where we are on this story this reality which overshadows absolutely every aspect of our life so the first one on the top five headlines for the bbc is p.m confident in vaccines been used in uk boris johnson says he is very confident in the covid vaccines amid concerns about the oxford astro zenica jabs effectiveness against the south africa variant this is a variant coming in from south africa which we were told was more transmissible and potentially more dangerous than the original virus which locked us all in our houses the vaccines are effective it says in delivering a high degree of protection against serious illness high degree of protection the words that are used are very important meanwhile england's deputy chief medical officer professor jonathan van tam told a number 10 briefing there was no reason to think the south africa variant would catch up or overtake the so-called the dominant so-called kent virus in the uk in the next few months but he stressed there was plenty of evidence that vaccines being deployed in the uk were effective against this variant and urged people to get a vaccine health secretary matt hancock said the government was working with vaccine suppliers on potential booster jabs to help deal with new variants so booster jabs is another one another little phrase that jumps out at me it tells me that we are well it tells me as well that we are not coming out of this anytime soon certainly not under these politicians and the booster jab will also mean that the drug companies are going to continue to want to boost this year on year on year costing us as taxpayers a fortune but again the language entirely vague second headline over 70s told to contact nhs for job people aged 70 year old run england who have not yet had their coronavirus vaccine but would like to are being asked to contact the nhs a national booking system is available that can be accessed online everyone's fairly clear i don't need to go into that a great deal of detail i did see this this next one number three on the news today and i really this this one is a little bit heartbreak into me how much young people are missing out on by not being at school and university and as if as if the education system wasn't enough wasn't bad enough as if we hadn't domed down enough for want of a better phrase domed down enough now kids are not even going to school and university students who are the missing out also on on the social element of it and i'm sure a lot of parents are rather their kids were not taught what they are being taught and that's understandable but they're missing out on a lot they really are and university students are still going to have to pay for the thousands of pounds for their three years at university and missing out on it and university is about more than getting a degree it's about again it's a life experience and they're missing out on all of that it's not the same it's not the same the isolation with zoom or online teaching is the isolation is is is significant and it's important and i do feel sorry for young people missing out on their education but okay england's schools catch up plan is the third headline extra hours of academic learning as well as sport and creative activities will be needed to help england's pupils make up ground following the pandemic says the new education catch up sarr so kevin call and stole the bbc it was important to act quickly on making arrangements for the summer and he said that summer schools had promise so kevin said the most disadvantaged had lost up to seven months progress but he also stressed that children were amazingly resilient in his first media interview he said the youngest children would need to learn to play together that's significant it really really is and to develop the language and social skills needed for school life frightening it really really is frightening the government's initial catch up plans due to be announced in late february in other words we're going to be putting even more pressure on children in schools if and when we come out of this when we you know even more pressure on them as if they're not harangued enough with a hundred genders and fetishes then they're going to have to make up for god knows how much lost time and to develop social skills number four heavy snow brings vaccine disruption and i go gosh we are i'm in the northeast and the weather here is i think i i only moved up here last last january and it was fairly mild so i think at the moment i'm experiencing my first northeast winter and it is cold the last time i've experienced cold like this was in norway i want to see a friend of mine in norway and that was january february and that's the only other time i can remember being as cold as this so i've got my first northeast winter um heavy snow and ice is brought disruption to parts of the UK with coronavirus vaccination centres shutting in Essex and Suffolk as well as Surrey and Norfolk some schools open only to children of critical workers and vulnerable children during lockdown have had to close yellow warnings for snow cover much of England and Scotland as well as parts of northern Ireland and number five this is usually the sort of and finally aspect of it parish council zoom star recreated in cake i'm not entirely sure what this has to do with coronavirus but this you might have seen because it went viral a um it was hanford council hanford parish council zoom meeting which spread around the internet um and i did see it and if you haven't seen it have a look which made a bit of a celebrity out of jackie weaver who was um sort of star of the show on this thing and it says unlikely internet star jackie weaver's fame has risen to new heights after she was immortalised in a cake miss weaver was trending on social media after a recording of a hanford parish council zoom meeting that spiralled into chaos went viral it was quite funny they kicked the chair out it was um it was screaming and shouting uh i i i said to i said to a friend at the time this these honestly decisions that affect our lives are made at meetings like this and you know you you just anyway anyway i'll i'll keep my opinions on that one to myself a cut down version of the planning and environment meeting on 10th of December emerged on twitter and soon became a must-see lockdown sensation peaking the interest of millions by friday morning in it miss weaver's saying keeping her cool after being shouted down by several other participants okay right under something a little bit more serious i'm very serious in fact is the u.s presidential election last year and i said this came like this came to me today and i do want to share some of the most important bits of it with i will put it out on twitter and gab straight after but i do want to share with you a summary of some of the evidence or and this this video it's 16 minutes long it tells you it shows you data data from previous elections from this election from various states vote updates so updates of how many votes have been counted never so often they also to stop and count recount and see where we are at the moment nine there were 9 000 of those sort of stops and recaps how many votes are we at the moment there were 9 000 of those throughout the election and according to this the entire thing was decided by four four of these stops and gathering i don't know how to phrase this so it's essentially stop counting and and some are some up some up how many votes there are now and there were 9 000 of these stops and according to this the election was decided by four these four were so outrageously anomalous they gave in the time between to the last stop and sum up and this stop and sum up the numbers of votes in that time intervening time that had come in for joe biden compared to what had come in for donald trump where almost statistically impossible and this is it actually at the start of the video it apologizes for the level of data in it but this is where this is what this is how we're going to know what happened so do have a look at it and do share it but i want to take you at the very end of it there is a summary of anomalies if you like and the trends that were booked by joe biden to win this are statistically to say call them unlikely is to give them far too much credit i will read some of them to you i think this is really really important and i want to read some of these to you just to the shocking just to drive home the extent of the fraud that if this data is to believe to be believed the size of the fraud that took place the part that the media played and continues to play in this and the significance of this i'm sure i don't need to tell you the significance of this for democracy and for faith in democracy because if this can happen in america a lot of people will be very badly affected by it so i want to read you out just some of the sum up if you like at the end of this contrary to mainstream media claims and this is shocking as well and the mainstream media this is highlights the media's role in all of this and we know how poisonous the media is in in the damage the damage it is doing to our democracy contrary to mainstream media claims many cases filed by republicans and or private plaintiffs in courts around the country were not lost now i am familiar with this and you will be too first of all you're familiar with the press saying there's no there's no evidence for this despite you know he keeps making these unfounded claims of voter fraud that wasn't true they're not unfounded nobody looked into them but you will then you will have seen headlines as i did saying that trump loses case no grounds uh no grounds court refuses to hear a case no grounds to hear a case trump loses trump loses trump loses it says here in most cases the the court is not true uh that they lost it lose in most cases courts refuse to hear the evidence or cases were dismissed because of lack of standing no court had all the evidence because new data arose daily and the implication very heavily undelivered by the mainstream media is that the courts had heard the evidence and either found that there was no standing no reason no cause to examine this any further in other words for a case to be heard uh but that there was no it wasn't they hadn't heard it but the new data was arising daily anyway the mainstream media made us let us believe that they did see the evidence and decided either that trump that it was that it wouldn't be heard by court at all in other words it had no standing to go before a courtroom proper or that it was before a court proper and lost none of this neither of these two scenarios are true goes on to say sudden and sharp votes for biden in battleground states were systematically larger than other vote dumps that came into other states making them especially crucial for swaying election outcomes in the respective states what that means is that you know what swing states are so it's a bit it's a little bit like safe seats here and marginal seats so a safe seat here would be one that is almost always held by labor or one that is almost always held by the Tories it's known as a Tory safe seat or a labor safe seat then you have certain seats which are not guaranteed for either it's a similar thing among states in america you have states which will almost always go with the republican candidate and other states that will almost always go with the democratic candidate and then you have what the americans call swing states which are likely to go or can go either way and they are obviously much like a lot of the times marginal seats in this country can sway are crucial to swaying the election one way or another but these large dumps as they're calling them here which is what i was referring to the stop and sum up and how many votes had come in between this stop and sum up and this stop and sum up the vote dumps the number of votes for biden were huge in the swing states compared to in other states so they in other words you have a huge discrepancy between trump and biden in these swing states much bigger than in other states i hope that's making sense in other words if you have if they were if fraud was taking place here and they were going to dump hundreds of thousands of illegitimate votes into a into this election they're going to do it in the swing states and that showed up in the numbers of votes in swing states as compared to other states a discrepancy between biden and trump was much wider in swing states than it was in non swing states these ones are mind blowing to me no sitting president in 132 years has ever gained votes between his first and second race and lost re-election what that means is that trump gained votes trump got more votes this time than he did when he won and that for a president to gain more votes and lose is unprecedented in 132 years of the united states it goes on to say trump won at least 11 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 including the highest percentage of the non-white vote of any republican candidate in 60 years making significant gains among african american latino jewish and even muslim voters yet allegedly lost that is mind blowing that's mind blowing he can win the presidency in 2016 he can gain 11 million more votes in the intervening period and still lose incredible despite biden allegedly receiving 15 million more votes than obama did in his 2012 re-election the democrats lost 13 house seats so it wasn't actually a great night for the democrats they were losing seats in the house but still despite it not being a great night or not the night you would expect if you have if you're running if your presidential candidate is the most popular for eons which i doubt he's not the most inspiring human being on the planet i don't mean to be on camera but he's not and he's certainly not i remember run up to the run up to obama's uh both of obama's elections there was a lot of momentum there was a lot of hype he was he was a celebrity uh people were going crazy about him and and you know charismatic good-looking all this this is sort of obama hype and yet we're told that even on a night when the democrats didn't do so well or certainly didn't do as well as you would expect them to do on the night they are running the most popular president in generations they still biden still got 15 million more votes than obama did in 2012 it stinks biden underperformed is another absolutely extraordinary one for me biden underperformed hillary clinton's 2016 vote in every major metropolitan area yet somehow outperformed her in the major swing states and that goes back to what i was saying earlier these sudden bursts of votes hundreds of thousands of votes for biden weren't happening in the non-swing states they were happening in the swing states and only in the swing states and i'm going to repeat that biden underperformed hillary clinton in every major metropolitan area yet somehow outperformed her in the major swing state cities of milwaukee detroit atlanta and philadelphia so only those big crucial cities did he outperform hillary clinton in 2016 in every other metropolis she outperformed him biden also allegedly won despite having received a record low share of the democrat primary vote and the primaries are the votes that happened before before the presidential before the president canada is decided so biden allegedly won despite having received a record low share of the democrat primary vote while trump set a record for primary votes in the other direction so he set a record for growth in votes biden won a record low in votes in the pre-election primaries and yet biden still wins according to just to give you an idea of trumps trumps record trumps set a record for primary votes for an incumbent 18 million doubling the previous record set by bill clinton so in the primaries job trump doubled bill clinton's record biden received a record low and yet biden beats trump to the white out this to me is genuinely mind-blowing trump is one of only five incumbents to win more than 90 of the primary vote since 1912 no incumbent who has received at least 75 of the primary vote has ever until 2020 lost re-election there are far more of these and they go into a lot more detail but i'm conscious of time but i did want to to drive those things home and this to me this sells it to me it is of course possible for someone to come along and book these trends and to make history to such an extraordinary extent but i don't think that that someone is joe biden and i'd again before i finish on this i'd again ask you to watch it and share it i will put it out on gab and uh twitter as soon as i'm finished here okay let me talk a bit before i get some questions let me talk about your medical records i've been it was this was mentioned to me this was brought up in the questions last week in my uh live stream last week and i said that i'd look into it and i have and i am always distrustful of vague if something isn't clear to me i want to know why it isn't clear to me and i worry when something isn't clear to me because if it's not clear to me it's not clear to a lot of other people either and it means it means a few things it means someone's trying to get away with something someone's trying to hide something but it also means that the public is not being fully informed of what's going on and a lot of people will look at information or read the press and think i don't really understand that must be me i won't ask because you know everyone else probably understands it must be me i won't ask i won't i won't ask for clarity on it i look stupid i'll just accept no just no um if it's not clear it's not clear an effective communication to me and some people can think that if they use every word in the dictionary that this is somehow intelligent communication that they have to speak in as exclusive a language as possible and that this somehow makes them intelligent to look intelligent i believe the absolute opposite to me to communicate effectively everyone who is listening to you should understand what you're saying when regardless of their training regardless of their level of education regardless of the area they walk in or the knowledge they have to communicate effectively with people everyone should understand what you're saying now i don't accept what that when the government communicates with us that we should be a okay with not understanding what they're saying and not understanding what exactly is going on and this is i've found again shrouded in smoke and mirrors is information out there on our medical records and just to give you an idea of where i'm what started this is so the initial article that was sent to me last week i'm going to read some of it to you it's from a website called public technology.net and the headline is hancock issues six month order for nhs to share confidential patient data i'll read some of it making sure i don't i can read as much as i like of the bbc but i can only read certain amounts of other things um or i risk copyright however i'll read bits of it to you health and social care secretary matt hancock has implemented a six month order let me give you the date for this as this back last year actually has issued a six month order for organizations across the nhs to share confidential information in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic under health service control of patient information regulations hancock has issued four emergency notifications covering all national and local nhs entities arms length government bodies and local authorities the first has been sent to gp surgeries local councils and secative agencies and other organizations providing health services in quotes throughout england the notice informs them that that until 30s of september which was last year i can find no end to this i can find very little actually that is clear on this but the requirement was to process confidential patient information to support the secretary of state's response to covet 19 again what does that mean what does that mean i'm not entirely sure what that means and other people reading it won't know what it means either it's like it effectively clears the way it says here for the sharing of any patient data with any relevant organization providing the purpose of doing so is solely for the purposes of research protecting public health providing health services to public and monitoring and managing the covet 19 outbreak and incidents of exposure that to me is very wide ranging and will cover just about anything but moving on from that article to the yes left wing open democracy net this one goes back even a little bit further so the point being this isn't necessarily about coronavirus this has been in the oven for some time now why is this an issue i'll get on to it with another article in a few minutes but here's what i think is underlying all of this it's not about it's certainly not about coronavirus because this is the article i'm going to read some of it to you now from open to open democracy that now goes back to 2019 so this was in the pipeline going back to this one is april 2019 this is in the pipeline for some time and what this is is to my mind and i've seen nothing to contradict it or to allay my fears that this is the case that this is a selling of data to private companies of big tech and i'm not happy with that and it's not because i have something that i want to hide and you you get this a lot we've nothing to hide what are you worried about it's not about having something to hide it's about having control of your own information it's about individual power and deciding for yourself who knows what about you and i think quite frankly given big tech and the big technology companies and that is what hancock wants to do is to bring big tech into the nhs private big tech into the nhs what are they using our data for and we know that they use it to target us with information and we know that they use it to persuade us and propagandize to us politically but we also know that privacy is gone and that to me is the crucial part and if you don't care about privacy fine but i do care about privacy and a lot of people care about privacy i want to give you one example of something that i'd uh a story that i'd had i'm sure it came from from vernon colman actually and it was a a friend of his who was pregnant and the the fact she'd stopped buying sanitary products tampons when she started receiving advertisements for baby clothes and baby products because a shopping list is data shared and owned in order to target you with advertising so much so that if a woman stops buying for example tampons she starts getting advertisements for baby products that's how incredible this is i remember seeing also uh this just comes to my head you know this alexa thing which scares me it scares the life out of me alexa had recorded this is this little device that people have in there in their houses and you ask it questions or ask it to play songs whatever it may be for you this thing had recorded a couple's conversation in their home and sent it to everyone in their contact list so this is the kind of lack of privacy that we are experiencing that we're heading towards but the big companies who run this technology want our data and matt hancock has going back as early as april 2019 been looking into sharing data beyond what anyone would expect that their medical records it's one thing at least at least we can expect our medical records to be kept confidential but they're not and it's not because of coronavirus because we're going back a lot further than that so i want to read you a little bit from opendemocracy.net remember this is from april last year this is a left-wing website so bear with me okay so this week health secretary matt hancock launched a report with the tax payers alliance calling for increased automation of nhs services through partnerships with private sector technology companies the pairing is highly questionable itself there's the lefty bit coming in the tax payers alliance is the right-wing lobby group backed by business big business which seeks to drastically reduce the role of the state and has previously called for replacing the nhs with an insurance base model of health again that's the lefty bit let's get that out of the way this bit is important though but that's not all that should concern us the report is just the latest in a string of moves by the health secretary to open up hugely valuable publicly held nhs data sets to the private sector vast amounts of private nhs data have already been transferred to private firms under the auspices of recent public private partnerships to develop artificial intelligence and other data driven technologies for the nhs some of these are highlighted in the tpa report itself one such example is a partnership between the royal free nhs trust in london and deep mind a holy on subsidiary of google's parent company alphabet announced in 2016 the agreement provided deep mind with access to 1.6 million patients medical records which it would use to develop and launch its new health care app although the way deep mind handles nhs data has changed since the information commissioners offers deemed the agreement to have breached the data protection at the company has continued to develop and scale the app at further nhs trusts across the country and what's crucial there is a couple of things crucial there i will post all of this on social media afterwards you can read it in fall for yourselves what's crucial there is first of all google's parent company that screams out at me and that a company owned by google was given 1.6 million patients medical records and that was before coronavirus coming up to further up to date so last one i'll go through on this the nhs this is uh from september 2020 so we were right into the heart of coronavirus this is from the belfast telegraph mal hancock made a speech at the founders forum health tech summit in london saying that we need to embrace a wider use of technology and data to help save lives speaking at the forum founders forum health tech summit at london mr hancock said the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning could improve the speed and accuracy of diagnoses the health secretary announced a 50 million pound investment in new artificial intelligence products including one which can more rapidly and accurately assess breast cancer screening and another which can turn a patient's smartphone into a medical grade device for monitoring kidney disease as part of a wider 140 million pound investment scheme to fund and create new ai programs to improve health care and care uh to improve patient health and care in the nhs now he goes on to talk a little bit more detail about the innovation the technology side of this but he did only pay lip service to privacy it says here mr hancock said mr hancock said the uk must ensure that the data architecture of the nhs was interoperable and high quality enough so that it protects privacy whilst allowing for research and allowing the use of that data now how is it going to protect privacy this is again this is some typical politician and even more typical Tory they handed over a few years ago prior prior two years ago now prior to coronavirus when none of us had ever heard of coronavirus 1.6 million of our medical records were handed over to a company owned by google he's still doing this he wants to expand it and has expanded it under coronavirus he plans in a speech he said in september last year to keep expanding this keep giving data more and more of our medical data to private companies under the using the reason the excuse if you like of better technology in medicine and the only comment on privacy addressed in this speech or at least the part of this speech here the several times he's telling us technology will save lives technology will save lives well there's some detail but there's no balance given on what we have to sacrifice for this new technology what kind of data is being transferred and there's only a breath of lip service to our privacy our privacy needs to be protected he said how if you're handing 1.6 million medical records to a google owned company before coronavirus how exactly are you going to protect our privacy going forward when you can when you intend to expand and expand and expand this now frankly as i said some people may not be bothered by this i'm bothered by this and a lot of people will be bothered by this and it's not a matter of if you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear it's about control over our own information it's about who can see our most private intimate details and it's about what that will be used for we already are spied on enough frankly without our medical records being handed over to google owned companies with a passing a passing bit of lip service from the health secretary on protecting our privacy without ever explaining how he intends to protect that privacy i don't like it a lot of people won't like it and i am not in any way reassured by a passing mention of privacy by matt hankock so in answer to the question that was posed on the meme going around for this evening's live stream how safe are your medical records the answer is they are not at all safe and i watched a fantastic video about again from brown and colman i'm becoming a really big fan of his about a future society and the social credit system that they have in china that will know absolutely everything about you and use it against you but like a like a point system if if you're if you've ever had if you've got uh for the examples about and colman gives you have a sexually transmitted disease you've had any alcohol or drug problems or any psychiatric problems any mental illnesses this could affect your credit score now these are things that people don't need to know about this is your private business and it's it's part of an escalation towards that kind of society where our lives are no longer around that someone else is overseeing our every moment of life and using it to decide what we can or cannot do and that's the society we're heading towards and to me this is just another brick in the wall of that of the building of that society i'm one that we ought to be fighting against okay i said i was going to write about um game stop i will write my economic blog by the way will be now be fortnightly instead of weekly uh my book review the same my wednesday streams the same because i am now almost entirely um apart from leader party leader work which is necessary my focus is going to be on the elections and that's going to take up a great deal of time so my economic blog will be back tomorrow but just as a quick a quick um summary of what happened here is a a retailer a video games retailer which i'm not familiar with i'm not a but it won't surprise you to know i'm not a big um gamer was losing suffered a lot during this pandemic and these multi-billion dollar hedge funds which play the the stock market um and make make a lot of money partly and what was relevant to this one by what is described as betting against expecting game stop to fall so reddit reddit which again won't surprise you i'm not entirely familiar with but users on reddit decided to get together and buy the shares of this company and send their share price up meaning that these multi-billion dollar hedge funds lost a lot of money and there's a lot of when you read through the media about this it's portrayed as a great change in the little people standing up to the big billion dollar hedge funds of wall street i want to take you just very briefly i'll go to questions we're going to run over again and as i said we'll go into this in a lot more detail in my uh economic blog tomorrow but i want to just read you why is this significant a little bit of a summary on it uh battles between investors that have different views of a company's value are common but this is perhaps the first time that ordinary investors have had the clout to cause a large fund such hefty losses it's important to note however that some ordinary investors are likely to lose substantial sums when game stop price comes down as it has already begun to do game stops tumultuous stock market journey demonstrates and this is the significant part demonstrates the power that coordinating via social media can have and it may cause to short cause short sellers the kind of people who were talking about the hedge funds i'll go into in a lot more detail to my complex stuff short sellers to think again about betting against a company they think is on decline one short seller that got born has already announced a wholesale shift in approach sitter and research has said it will now focus on investing in companies with potential to grow rather than betting against those it thinks have major problems other funds have cut short their cut their short positions to it goes on to call it a democratization of finance at the stock markets as you know are an absolute minefield but they're also hugely hugely what has happened here is hugely hugely significant and is being seen in the media as a little bit of a win for the little guy against the multi-billion dollar hedge funds and beyond and it has and i've read again reading about this today other companies have begun to take different approaches on how they operate or how they view how they look at investments on the stock market so it has actually made a significant change in that area of finance and i will go into this due to time i will go into this in a lot more detail as well as explaining to you what i mean by short sellers and hedge funds and all the rest of it in my economic blog tomorrow okay i'm going to go to questions now we're at half eight hi stew what's the best thing about living in heartly pearl oh gosh that's quite a question let me see it is the beaches here i live right on the beach and i've always wanted to live on the beach and the beaches here are right on the north sea it's absolutely stunning to look at yesterday i went uh which is a little area called the headland which is quite close to me and it was gobsmacking to watch um massive massive waves crashing against the pier crashing against each other the natural beauty here is absolutely stunning the people this is is the friendliest you you i'm you get you you have to get used to saying hello to total strangers as standard and i really really like that i i that there's a there's a friendliness there's an atmosphere um it's also a very lovely town i mean there's you've got everything you need here in the center of that there's a beautiful uh tall ship uh which dominates to the skyline where i am and i absolutely love it they've got a national museum of the ron navy right next to it which i haven't been to yet because of lockdown um i can't put my it's hard to put your finger on that's the natural beauty the people it's it's compact and it's got everything that you need but it's also there's a there's an air of difference and uniqueness and history about harley pearl it's a to me i remember speaking to someone not long after i'd moved up here and he said it's a it's a it's an absolute hidden gem on the northeast coast and there's something very unique and different about it and it is there is a a history about it um again going back to the headland where i was you know it is a lot of involvement in in in the wars and a lot of fuss in terms of um military events it's just it's something i can't really put your finger on but i have i genuinely genuinely moving here is one of the best things i've ever done in my life i've fallen head over heels in love with the place it feels like home and it's hard it's hard to pin down that feeling of why i've fallen in love with it the way that i have but i have and i intend to i intend to spend the rest of my life here um it's absolutely starting and and on all of the other bits that i mentioned as well it's different something unique about it amma jones if you're in power today how would you deal with us and get us out get us out of i maybe i i'm going to assume you're talking about uh lockdowns and coronavirus look the first thing that needs to happen is that boris johnson needs to stop listening to the same old people and trying the same old things now lockdown is a disaster a disaster it's not working as i mentioned at the start if you rely on lockdowns to bring down infection rates then how do you expect those infection rates not to go up again after you come out of lockdown it's inevitable that they will what i would do first of all amma is sit down with the scientists and doctors who have been pulling their hair out since this thing began and i mentioned it almost on a weekly basis that there are treatments and potentially cures for this that do not involve multi billion dollar fees to already obscene drug companies that's the first thing that is wrong here the lockdowns are wrong it was a bad decision in the first place but we are where we are but we have to end these lockdowns and deal with what comes then what comes then is a whole new approach to this at the moment all we have is vaccine vaccine vaccine no there are other doctors highly credible credible people who have been shouting from the rooftops that this thing can be treated and quite easily in many from many doctors are saying with hydroxychloroquine was one i read out a letter from somebody who wrote to me showing communications he sent me copies of communications with doctors this was in France trying to get people to listen trying to get all the official bodies to listen that anti histamines were a effective treatment for this and they're not being heard and they're not being heard because it seems to me that the establishment has been bought by the drug companies who are set to make billions and now we're talking about boosters they're set to make billions for years to come out of this because other ideas and other doctors are not being listened to end the lockdown and then look at effective treatments for this thing that is a that's the first thing that is the first thing we need to do we need to give people their lives back and then we need to start listening stop being bought off by drug companies which is what's happening and start listening to the doctors who say they have effective treatments for this what if they do then we can save billions that we would have paid for vaccines vaccines which don't even work that's what's extraordinary about this they may or may not reduce the risk of serious illness they don't prevent transition for this disease so then why are we paying billions for it why are countries all over the western world paying billions for this when it doesn't even work that's the absurdity of this so day one end lockdowns let people go back to work get this country back on its feet and then in the afternoon on day one sit down with the doctors who insist they have effective cheap treatments for this and let them do that roll out those treatments for this that's how we get out of this okay next question thank you for your review on the cult of covid hi michael i hope you're doing well i've forgotten about your book by the way uh bought it and read it it's excellent uh in response to our manifesto being the best in the country uh not only is it the best in the country i read a lot of manifestos from different parties of different european countries a bit nerdy in brackets and for britain's is the best so far i you know it's not about yeah i i i've never i like you michael i read manifestos and there's nothing of the kind on the market nothing of the kind we deal with issues that others won't like islam for example and mass immigration for example but we're coming at it uniquely uniquely like this with what i've just said about covid 19 there isn't another party that will say this that will acknowledge the censorship around this and bring that censorship to an end and bring in the doctors and scientists who are saying we have treatments for this we're i call us the bravest party in the in the country because we are because we're willing to stand up and go against the tide and defy the prevailing consensus mainstream consensus by i don't mean public consensus i mean mainstream consensus mainstream media mainstream politics defy all of that and another area where this shouts and screams at you is climate change and i was going to take us through another article on this um i want to i will briefly mention it uh and it was sent to me by paul today and i spoke to paul burges our spokesman on this in our stream our thursday night stream last week and it's about china and the eu's relationship with china now china is on the world stage talking about it's going to bring down its philosophy it is not oh no it's not china says one thing and does another and we know this without any doubt and it doesn't almost in in plain view but the eu it says that the eu is proclaiming a good partnership with china on climate issues made smoother by avoiding mention of the country's human rights it's not so easy for the us of course it's not which was slapped down by china last week as it tried to pursue a climate agenda you know it's just the overreaching the overall theme of this article which i was going to read to you but we don't have the time um is this a simpering apologetic relationship with china despite the fact that china is lying at every one of these conferences and these conferences which paul mentioned again on our stream last week that we've had conference after conference after conference for years all of them end up bringing down the levels of co2 and the atmosphere and it continuing to grow it's like they don't see it's like they're in an alternate universe and it's like every mainstream political party in every mainstream media is in that same alternate universe because they just accept what they're told without question we don't accept what we're told without question we look at the actual facts and use our common sense and then have the courage to stand up and say you know what this mainstream political and media consensus is not true it's based on lies absurdities and falsities look here here are the facts and here are some simple common sense solutions to it now in the current climate that famous quote there are several of the famous quotes by george orwell that the further a society drift on the truth the more it despises those who tell it we are those who tell it we are that person in the room that only person in the room will stand up and say this is wrong and we risk the Roth of the media and mainstream politics by doing it but we have to do it because ultimately these lies are going to fall away and the bravest the ones who tell the truth are the ones who will be left standing and that is this party and that's the reason we are so sidelined and excluded and maligned at present and that's the reason we are so maligned is the reason that we will get there and succeed in the end because the lies will fall away eventually it's inevitable it's inevitable and I'm very very very proud and thank you Michael for saying that I entirely agree it is the best manifesto in the country I haven't read every manifesto unlike yourself Michael I haven't read manifestos from other european countries I have a couple I've read AFDs for example some time ago I've had I've looked at some of a lot of marine leopards policies um but it doesn't surprise me and it wouldn't surprise me if we are head and shoulders manifesto wise above most political parties in europe because they are all they are the vast bulk of them particularly on the mainstream vast bulk of them singing from a single hym sheet it shows a lack of intelligence a lack of principle and a lack of real concern for what's right people who want to keep their cushy jobs who don't want to rock the boat who will basically say whatever they're told to say without question such people absolutely dominate elected politics in this and many other con countries and that's why if we're going to take back our sanity our democracy and restore governance for the people we have to use our elections to change who is sitting in these elected chambers because at the moment they are dominated by weak unintelligent cowards cowards it's it's coward and you know again it's not strength this is not strength to go along with what you're told that question is not a it's not a characteristic of a strong individual it's very much the opposite and those who have to lie and those who have to cheat are not demonstrating strength if they were strong they wouldn't have to lie and they wouldn't have to cheat we don't lie and we don't cheat our message is strong enough to stand on its own and i'm very proud i'm very grateful to the candidates so we're going to be taking that message to the electorate comm may okay i better stop at some point or i will be here all evening um thank you as always for for joining me um what have i got on this week so economic blog tomorrow as i said i was speaking to i'm doing i'm doing a stream tomorrow evening which

will be speaking to me anonymously but has great amount of concerns about how money is being spent in the public sector and this as you know is a very important element of for britain's manifesto to end waste in the public sector and some of it would absolutely blow your socks off the amount the numbers the numbers in terms of figures pounds and pence that is wasted across the public sector and what it's wasted on when we are in a time of growing unemployment which will only bring with it growing an expansion of genuine poverty in this country our public sector our tax pounds are being wasted to an alarming an extent and on alarming political projects and i'll be talking about that in more detail on thursday on thursday night okay thanks for joining me back with my live stream again
