Peter Hitchens is an English conservative author, broadcaster, journalist, and commentator. 💥Join us on our Journey to 1 Million Subscribers💥
He writes for The Mail on Sunday and was a foreign correspondent reporting from both Moscow and Washington DC. His books include The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, The War We Never Fought and The Phoney Victory. Previously a Trotskyist and supporter of the Labour Party, Hitchens became more conservative during the 1990s. He joined the Conservative Party in 1997 and left in 2003, and has since been deeply critical of the party, which he views as the biggest obstacle to true conservatism in the UK.

Hicthens is laughing and getting excited because he knows what he is saying is absolute garbage. He thinks the Blair government was packed with revolutionary communists even though they were the most business friendly Labour government in history, even though they sold off tons of state owned assets and brought in public-private partnerhsip with elements of the NHS. as well as hiking up migration to create a labour surplus which was what the CBI was crying out for to benefit the rich at the increasing expense of the poor. Oh yeah, truly revolutionary communist. The guy is barely a pseudo-intellectual. He's just annoyed because England no longer has the stringent morality of the Victoria era which he wants back so he peddles any old contradictory nonsense.

New Zealand only accept skilled people who can be an asset to them. My youngest daughter a mental health nurse is staying for now. I agree with Peter this country is finished, Starmer is Bliar mark 2 and i voted tactically against them. If only the Conservative had elected David Davis instead of Cameron. They need him now as i have no one to vote for anymore

Is he an idealist? His ideals appear to be a Christian nation where the sexual revolution never happened. Times, fortunately, have changed and it's not an ideal situation to have a society running on religious sexual repression and a lack of empathy. Why doesn't he take his own advice and move. The middle east is probably the last place in the world that would suit his ideals although he'll have to convert to Islam.

Peter Hitchens is a smart guy but blinkered. You can see this in his history and compare vs his far superior older brother, which in part perhaps over influenced him, well tough act to follow in fairness… Hitchens C was consistent in his thinking but did evolve and mature. Hitchens P seems to have made sudden leaps to the opposite side and weirdly for a self proclaimed Trotskyite is now an arch conservative. The reality that seems to escape Hitchens P is that a vote for either Labour or the Tories (not conservative) is a vote for the Uniparty and a perpetuation of the corrupt globalist elite system. He is right that the Tories and Labour both “hate” the people, this is the globalist elites world view. Either pushes us closer to neo Feudalism, not neo Marxism, that is just the bait and switch ploy the elites are using on the wannabe Marxists (the deluded fools!). So he should be telling people to vote against the Uniparty but he seems to have a “kick the can down the road and how for a miracle” strategy. Well there is no such thing as miracles and gods help those who help themselves so the only possible vote to avoid a One World Government neo Feudalist future (aka serfdom) is a protest vote and the only possible protest vote is a Reform vote. You don’t have to like Reform or even want them to be a governmental party but such a vote shows the elites that the British people never, never, never, shall be slaves! You know the rest of the song! Sing it and remember who you are

Yep, Peter has spent years saying the opposite to what he is now saying. Be brave he said, take the hit, let Labour in. Do it in such a major way it ended their opponents for good and allowed a genuine party of opposition to come in. That way it would replace both in time. Stop voting out of fear for the other side he said... Now though.... Oh no, don't do it now, don't do it this way... Right....

Voting Reform probably will speed up the collapse, not because of Reform has bad policy but because the reaction of the Left and the Bureaucracy to a Reform win. Similarly a Trump win will force the Left to take illegal and morally corrupt action to neutralize Trump. This will polarize the populous and create social collapse, but more importantly, it will drive away investment and warp the economic structure as political bribery, political nepotism will be the methods to economic success, not invention, nor improved productivity.

Peter Hitchens is a smart guy but blinkered. You can see this in his history and compare vs his far superior older brother, which in part perhaps over influenced him, well tough act to follow in fairness… Hitchens C was consistent in his thinking but did evolve and mature. Hitchens P seems to have made sudden leaps to the opposite side and weirdly for a self proclaimed Trotskyite is now an arch conservative. The reality that seems to escape Hitchens P is that a vote for either Labour or the Tories (not conservative) is a vote for the Uniparty and a perpetuation of the corrupt globalist elite system. He is right that the Tories and Labour both “hate” the people, this is the globalist elites world view. Either pushes us closer to neo Feudalism, not neo Marxism, that is just the bait and switch ploy the elites are using on the wannabe Marxists (the deluded fools!). So he should be telling people to vote against the Uniparty but he seems to have a “kick the can down the road and how for a miracle” strategy. Well there is no such thing as miracles and gods help those who help themselves so the only possible vote to avoid a One World Government neo Feudalist future (aka serfdom) is a protest vote and the only possible protest vote is a Reform vote. You don’t have to like Reform or even want them to be a governmental party but such a vote shows the elites that the British people never, never, never, shall be slaves!

Depending on your constituency, voting for Reform could actually hand a victory to Labour. It really was stupid to vote against the AV referendum that the Lib Dems brough forward in 2011. If it had passed Reform/Ukip, the Greens, and Lib Dems would be all be strong parties with several MPs and would be highly unlikely that Labour would ever win a majority on their own. Instead, Labour on less than 40% of the vote could end up with over 60% of the seats.

Peter Hitchens is a smart guy but blinkered. You can see this in his history and compare vs his far superior older brother, which in part perhaps over influenced him, well tough act to follow in fairness… Hitchens C was consistent in his thinking but did evolve and mature. Hitchens P seems to have made sudden leaps to the opposite side and weirdly for a self proclaimed Trotskyite is now an arch conservative. The reality that seems to escape Hitchens P is that a vote for either Labour or the Tories (not conservative) is a vote for the Uniparty and a perpetuation of the corrupt globalist elite system. He is right that the Tories and Labour both “hate” the people, this is the globalist elites world view. Either pushes us closer to neo Feudalism, not neo Marxism, that is just the bait and switch ploy the elites are using on the wannabe Marxists (the deluded fools!). So he should be telling people to vote against the Uniparty but he seems to have a “kick the can down the road and how for a miracle” strategy. Well there is no such thing as miracles and gods help those who help themselves so the only possible vote to avoid a One World Government neo Feudalist future (aka serfdom) is a protest vote and the only possible protest vote is a Reform vote. You don’t have to like Reform or even want them to be a governmental party but such a vote shows the elites that the British people never, never, never, shall be slaves! You know the rest of the song! Sing it and remember who you are

Teenagers will vote in the opposite way to their parents. We've all been there, we were all rebellious teenagers in our youth.

"What’s more, Starmer himself is an avowed enemy of press freedom. As director of public prosecutions in the 2010s, he showed an alarming determination to drag journalists through the courts. He led the persecution of 30 reporters who were arrested and charged under Operation Elveden - most of whom worked for the Sun, as it happens. They spent years on police bail, their careers were left in tatters, and some attempted suicide. Not one was ever convicted of any crime. The police operation began in 2011 and the last journalist was cleared in 2016. This was a witch-hunt against journalists you would expect to see in China, and our soon-to-be PM was the witch-finder general. To this day, Starmer has refused to apologise for this grotesque abuse of state power against the press." Fraser Myers
