    1. I listened to RS conference speech l was cringing fir him, who’s boots is he licking?? The one thing I agreed on was the Family aspect, as yes this is very important. Everything else was not true. Who is delusional here and in denial , definitely not me for one. No I will not vote for conservatives neither Labour as I don’t believe they are any better. As for the mayor of London yes I’ll vote Khan and if Jewish people are afraid 😱 because khan isn’t Jewish , I have no answer as I’ll be accused of being anti semitic!!!! Great show James. We almost had 20,000 of a hurricane of boat people but let in 100,000 Ukrainians, what a joke!!!!!

    2. James is totally missing the point. Not many scientists want to declare a state of climate emergency. It is only down to media and lobby groups pushing highly expensive and polluting technologies.

    3. James to your knowledge vaccination do you harm, more than actual covid, especially in young people, who suffer the most. There is no conspiracy theory , there are many scientific papers being published, go and look up!

    4. 'The elite ruling class wants us asleep so we’ll remain a docile, apathetic, passive herd of consumers, and non-participants in the true agenda of our governments — which is to keep us separate, and present an image of a world filled with unresolvable problems, that they, and only they might one day, somewhere in the never-arriving future, be able to solve.'
      Bill Hicks.
      'That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party that inflicted those bitter experiences on me. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. They condemned millions of first-class people to semi-starvation. Now the Tories are pouring out money in propaganda of all sorts and are hoping by this organised sustained mass suggestion to eradicate from our minds all memory of what we went through. But, I warn you young men and women, do not listen to what they are saying now.'
      Aneurin Bevan.

    5. Interesting – Sunak writes-off £10 billion given by Sunak to fraudsters mainly in the first half of 2020. Sunak also refuses to hand-over WhatsApp messages from the period Jan 2020 to June 2020 to the Covid inquiry. A suspicious person might believe these two events are linked in some way.

    6. The Conservatives we are having to live with today wouldn’t usually give up on something that’s one of their fantastically wonderful projects just because it’s eating Taxpayers Money ? Test and trace continued to the very end £39 billion and nothing to see for it , plus plenty of other projects that wasted the Taxpayers cash , methinks this is Mr Biggy , the ultimate deflection yet , ‘ don’t look at the disastrous job you’re Governments doing to your country “ taking everyone’s attention away is with blaming everything on others “ as being the only work they hold any competence in ,

    7. India sent a spaceship to the moon for the same price as a Hollywood Sci fi movie. Yet great old UK can't lay rail tracks, have we not been laying train tracks for a few hundred years now??

    8. Aaarrrrhhhhh !!!!! HS2 and HS3 really annoys me… so we need a high speed cross country network ????
      YES YES WE DO..

      Have we gone about it properly???

      NO

      should we have an integrated rail network from Glasgow and Edinburgh down through the north of England through Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Tyne and Wear to London.

      Do we need one from Cardiff to Norwich and from Exeter to London.

      And get rid of express trains off the current main lines???
      Yes yes we should!!!

      Is our current government able to do it???
      NO

      Should we have asked the Japanese how to do it??
      Yes

      Did we invent railways???

      YES!!!!!

      How is the U.K. (Westminster) any use !’!!!!???

      NO

    9. Don't like your mentioning Jeremy Corbyn and insinuating him with antisemitism… as you and everyone with more than 1 brain cells know is unfounded. That he believes in "peace", wants and end to all wars and believes in talking BEFORE millions have been killed on both sides instead of years down the line. If one believes in peace, then it has to be for ALL parties in a conflict and not just for the 1 you believe to be justified! You follow the lines with the establishment when it comes to JC, shame!

    10. Politicians should fulfil their promises and them say look we bave done it instead of saying we will do it and then forget what they promise wishful thinking.

    11. Is that not the same as ulez? If you can't afford a new car, but you can't afford the daily charge?
      James is a smart man, but sometimes he purposely doesn't make the obvious links?

    12. Hold on, can't drive into a football ground or mall… but now you can't drive out from your home great response James… that totally disproves the conspiracy, what ever the goal the outcome is the same, unless you can afford to leave your home in your car you can't leave your area!!

    13. The disgusting tactic the tories impose on their OWN supporters is that completely degrade their lives to the point of relentless anxiety, then follow this with the lie that a) a better quality of life is not possible, and b) that UK citizens are unreasonable to ask for better. Total trauma based mind control. We need the tories to lose

    14. I lived in a hotel in manchester for a year and half when the metro tram routes were being extended and the boss and the workers were in there and he would say how they flease it all for more money they can just delay and do all sorts to pull 10s of millions from the goverment thats all they have done his hs2, and another point was it even possible to build hs2 through the cheshire salt plains anyway?
