I think he and his family stand starchily around a piano singing hymns - the piano's legs are covered of course.

He has 7 bottles of blue WKD and 4 jägerbombs.

A miserable twat, like evey other day.

@@BlyatimirPootin Totally agree. He hates everyone and everything. Ive never come across a more morose, bitter and unhappy person in my life. He even hated his own brother,

@@henrysmith883 well said

Just because you don't like watching people fitter than you doesn't mean that most people don't like watching sport. And besides, it's totally naive to think that the Olympics is just about sport.

MD 98 with the funding having been put in before the 2008 Financial Crisis?

True, we had compulsory joy then, and we have compulsory misery at the moment.

because hes at least intersting and worth interupting

you're right - HP sold far more units

Harry Potter inspired millions of children and adults to read long, relatively complex stories. I'm sure there would be many hundreds of thousands of far less literate people today (especially with the rise of digital entertainment) had those books never been written. Also far fewer who would be familiar with other great British writers like the Bard and Boz, having been exposed to a library, the joy of finishing a good book, or British literature in general for the first time through Rowling's world-wide phenomenon.

@@sullivansongz I doubt that Rowling will endure as well as Shakespeare

J.R. Stutton unless it was a better to worse list.

It really was.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't trying to be literal lol

You need a bigger brain

To rub our noses in it.

@@GreenEyedGod27 Exactly!!!

Because they are also British citizens. This man was born here and has every right to experience British culture the same way as us. He was supporting our country, Hitchens had a very nihilistic view.

@@basildon9008 bull shit

He's not. He's only correlating the recent spate of lone wolf attacks with (various) illegal drug use.

He said Charlie Hebdo & the Nov. 2015 Paris attackers were just "doped up wasters". He's wrong to lump them in with his usual suspects, even if they did use cannabis, because those mother fuckers knew exactly what they were doing.

Well as Peter has said he presents you the facts and you come to your own conclusion. The fact is all these atrocities across the globe were done by drug users

@ Ronnie - Although Hitchens is, as you say, great on things like this, I've noticed that he is also capable of extraordinary spite. Re the jihad issue, after watching several of his interviews on religion and reading some of his blog posts, I've come to the disturbing conclusion that in a perverse way he welcomes the eventual turning of Britain into a Sharia state. Not because he likes Islam, but because he thinks Britain deserves to be punished for becoming less Christian and that it will serve Britain right to be overtaken by a religion which is more sure of itself and more uncompromising. (He has actually said on TV: "Muslims say they hate our way of life. Well in many ways I hate our way of life!") Personally, I have quite a lot of sympathy for the Cranmer Prayer Book and the King James Bible, and think it sad they have been overtaken by pop culture and the like. On the other hand, I can recognize the threat of global jihad *in its own right*, not simply as a result of the decline of Christianity in Britain. Of course, there might be something in what Hitchens says, insofar as if a nation doesn't maintain strong traditions and values then it will most likely become vulnerable, which might perhaps be what he means. (After all, Japan is not a Christian country, yet has been very resistant to Islam.) Either way, I may be wrong about this, but I don't think I am. It would help explain his constant and bizarre side-stepping of the issue by changing the subject to drug-taking. As it happens, the existence of ISIS blows a hole through his ludicrous jihadi-drug theory, since there's probably at least one person (to say nothing of a legion of people) among them who is not on nor has ever done drugs.

ben I think it's very tempting to draw the conclusion that Hitchens minor wants Islamism to triumph - and for him to live in Dhimmitude as a man of the book( albeit the wrong one) - but he strenuously denies this only today. I'm not utterly convinced, but at the same time, we have to listen to him when he expresses himself so clearly. That's the criteria we tend to give Jihadists; if they say, "we are embarked upon a Jihad, that's why Ahmed blew himself up in Burger King" we don't then do as Regressive Leftists (Nawaz) would do, suggest they are confused about their motives & blame the attack on our foreign policy. That's what we would be doing, if we 'uncovered' Peters real wishes here, even as he attempts to tell us precisely what his real wishes are. I'm uncomfy with it, but it's a necessary evil. Not least because I think Peter would definitely find the Islamification proper of GB quite amusing, if undesirable.

Dan Hare saaaaaaaaad as fuck

Lol

I know but unfortunately we are run by metropolitan bourgeoisie elites who love cheap labour and cheap products while harping on about slavery The irony is there for those that see

The Britain with better state education, a powerful navy, brilliant statesmen, full emplyment and an empire? Yes, please.

He wasn't referring to our place in the world, he was specifically referring to culture and whining about the fact that the ceremony dared to include things like *gasp* rock music. On a side note, state education was garbage in 1900 (unless you think leaving school at 13 is a good thing) and the "full employment" was largely on the backs of the poor working masses making a pittance and working in crap conditions.

Diwrnod: Yes, captain obvious, everyone is aware of different periods of history having different living standards. That's the entire point. Hitchens and the like are nostalgic for an era where life was objectively worse for everyone. And no, moving to cities to work in factories with crap working conditions doesn't provide any kind of solace when it meant families cramming themselves in to one room and living in slums that were rife with disease.

What is it with this kind of person that goes "so basically" then goes on to distort someone´s opinion? Does no one call you on this bullshit in real life?

jaykaykaykay What a weird thing to get annoyed about.

u mean christopher?

Oh man I laughed

So sad you don't understand what he was saying.

Evil Occult ceremony, proves London is the capital of The Occult that shocking evening

How is that not salient?

Shakespeare even uses the *Roman* Five Act method of structuring a Play. It's not as if this is hidden knowledge.

@Mick Langley Well then let them have their illiterate lefty ceremony

They liked it because there imbercile

There were nods to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but it was mainly about England because London is ultimately an English city.

There was barely anything English in it either

Yes, that bit was indeed spectacular and quite emotional

Was obviously referring to the World Wide Web.

No, not obvious. You think the general public understand the difference? This presentation, and all others regarding that fraud, Berners-Lee are specifically tailored to give the false impression that the wonders of the internet were created by UK Berners-Lee and the central hub of pseudo science CERN

Il go one further. Anybody who understands a computer knows its about the transistor. The uk invented this also.

Graham6762 Yes they did !! They also invented Morden computers ! Do some research !

Peter has consistently called himself a British Patriot and Anglican. What are you on about?

LOL. He's Jewish. What are YOU on about?

Tom Rogers Alright, I need to find out what kind of an Anti-Semite you are; Is he ethnically a Jew? Do you think he practices Judaism in private? Is this because he supports Israel? Please, enlighten me.

Goodness, an 'anti-Semite', we can't have that! He is, by his own admission, a Jabotinsky Zionist, yet at the same time he openly ridicules British ethnic nationalists, claiming that 'racism' is something terrible, nasty and awful. That double standard speaks for itself and tells you everything about where his true loyalties lie.

No he is British.....he used to be a leftist though.....something he regrets.
