Peter Hitchens – Daily Mail Jan 9, 2021
What if the days did not, after all, start to grow longer after Christmas? Well, yes, of course they will (won’t they?) but I feel a dark, oppressive foreboding which makes spring seem very far away. Why is this?
I sense that I and some others have now become the targets of a worrying wave of spite, censorship and intolerance, very like the McCarthyite frenzy in 1950s America which swept up all kinds of innocent people in what claimed to be an attack on Communism.
The modern Left love to claim they are against that sort of thing. But only when they are not doing it themselves. There are three important groups here.
The ones who snarl and point the finger, demanding that I should be an outcast; the ones who join in the mob; and the ones who are too scared to stand up against it. I can see them all forming. I think they should all be ashamed of themselves.
Some examples: A claim by a doctor that I and my allies have blood on our hands because we think lockdowns are a mistake; a person on social media who thought he was entitled to say that I was stirring up hatred against NHS staff, a baseless lie, and the many others who applauded and defended him when I stood up to this; the cartoonist in a supposedly anti-establishment magazine who last week portrayed mask opponents as the equivalents of football louts; the former senior BBC journalist Paul Mason, who tweeted that I was one of a group of ‘fascist-enabling’ public figures, on ‘the same spectrum as full-blown science-denial’.
The new Red Guards love to accuse dissenters of ‘denial’ of Covid. This may seem ludicrous. Covid exists. I wouldn’t and don’t deny it. But the phrase is a dog whistle, designed to make hearers think sceptics are like Holocaust deniers, a straightforward lie and smear.
Mr Mason rejoiced that American tech giant YouTube had obliterated recordings of TalkRadio, a station which has – unlike the BBC – given generous platforms to opposition views.
He said: ‘I was glad to see YouTube temporarily pull the plug on TalkRadio. I would be even gladder to see Ofcom review the station’s licence to broadcast and Twitter and Facebook label the claims of columnists as questionable or false where appropriate. But above all, I want to see politicians and public figures proactively and strongly refute Covid denialism.’
Again, he equated dissenters with fascists. ‘As with full-blown fascism, ignoring it does not make it go away.’ What he means is ‘shut these people up. There is now only one permitted opinion’.
By the way, when YouTube last week censored a recording of one of the conversations I have each Monday with the TalkRadio presenter Mike Graham (as they blatantly did), it was not temporary. It was permanent.
On January 4, the same Mr Mason tweeted: ‘I don’t just want Johnson to say ‘Stay home, save lives’ etc. I want him to call out and ridicule the bull**** anti-maskers, lockdown skeptics and denialists in his own party – and order social media platforms to suppress/label Covid disinformation. That’s leadership.’
This is plainly a call for censorship. By ‘disinformation’, such people always mean ‘things I disagree with’. When I challenge them, they can come up with no examples of untruths. I mention Mr Mason because he is unusually frank about his real aims. Unlike many establishment Left-wingers he has always been open about his revolutionary views. But he says plainly what many in the Left-wing elite feel in private. And this explains their rather odd enthusiasm for Johnson’s closure of the country. I’m sure they are moved by deep compassion for sufferers from Covid. But they are also excited, more excited than they have been at any time since 1997, when the Blair victory swept the Cultural Revolution to power.
That revolution is now about 90 per cent complete. But there were obstacles: a Parliament with a real opposition, an independent Civil Service, an independent, conservative press, courts that stood up to the state, a BBC that at least permitted some dissent on its airwaves, a police force that at least tried to police by consent, independent universities.
Lockdown, with amazing speed, showed that all these seemingly mighty defences were paper tigers. We now have (with tiny exceptions) a lifeless rubber-stamp parliament, doormat judges, monolithic state broadcasting, a nearly-unanimous media, and a shouty, bossy state militia which obeys government rather than law.
I’ve seen all these things before. I’d foolishly thought they were gone for good, back in 1991. With the welcome support of many readers, I have tried since March to suggest that the Government’s policy has been wrong. I have cited many experts, explained my doubts in detail, opened myself to challenge on social media and – when possible – on the airwaves.
I think this is my duty as a member of a free society. I have been given many gifts: an old-fashioned schooling which taught me how to think, not what to think; four decades in the University of Fleet Street, with a front seat at many of the major events of our time – plus some detailed knowledge of how politicians and officials work.
Peter Hitchens.
I’ve seen people die, heard bullets zip past, watched great states turn to dust, reported from more than 50 countries. I’ve published books about the colossal changes in Britain which have happened in my lifetime. I have been incredibly fortunate. So I thought I had a special duty to speak out against something I thought was wrong.
It was unpopular but so what? Free speech usually is. I have done it before, on smaller issues. But this time it is different. I am, for the first time in my life, deeply afraid for the future of freedom in my own country. So should you be.
Opposite where i live are 7 tower blocks
Isiaah 5 -8 “woe unto him who builds house upon house until there be no place ”
As the war ended and the servicemen were being demobbed and desperate to find work
the government played a dirty trick
they advertised the men’s jobs in the west indies
saying ” come do the jobs Englishmen ae too lazy to do”
This was a major hate crime on the very men who fought he governments racist war for it
and to make homes for the extra millions pouring in, tower blocks were spewed all over the country, many are now being taken down on health and safety grounds.
There would be no need to kill off people by way of the Liverpool Care pathway or the corona scam, if Government had not people trafficked them all in.
We keep being told of a mass population cull being necessary, so lets start with the traitorous politicians
Look Britain is an occupied country, we have filled you with the dregs of the earth as Gordon Brown said was intentional
we jews control you and we will take everything you own
you will be lucky to walk away with your lives
stop grumbling and live with it
Establishment goffer says the penny just dropped for him. Hitchens has a niche market & that is why he writes for the Daily Fail. You can make a case for pre 9/11, but there’s a very solid case that Western tyranny started at this point. The interweb was just taking off and you could find lots of interesting stuff, but it did not take long before they started cleaning away all the interesting trash.
I was at war with the BBC while using their forums, especially the Today forums. I was censored for using published information and joining the dots. RAF C130 shot down by US fighter murdering 60 SAS, 10 crew & one private. The US commander who sent an RAF Nimrod so low that it was shot down by the Talibunnies. The use of micronukes & torture 18 months before the fake news started to cover it. The fact that US/UK forces were using locals by force to drive car bombs in Iraq.
I was threatened on the Today form with death at my door for exposing the 60 SAS murdered by the US. I had various computers destroyed, rendered useless by the dark forces. I lost all braking in a brand new E class Mercedes on the M4, the brakes returned. I took it in for the first service and made a point of asking the service manager if this was on the onboard computer fault log… no record of any fault in this fly by wire car. I had exactly the same problem with the loss of all gears, again on the M4. The gears came back, but there was no fault on the log. One genuine breakdown and the Mercedes engineer came out and plugged in his box of tricks and had the fault within a few seconds.
We’ve been losing our freedoms for decades and Hitchens only sees it now. I literally do not trust anyone. There’s a contributor on this site who I am 99% certain is a deep state asset & I suspect there are many others. Hitchens is like Michael Moore, they do just enough to allow their audience to vent, so they don’t feel alone, a drift, in the swamp. I am alone, & I am very happy to say it. I very much doubt that I will meet a genuine person who isn’t compromised and is on my level… and I don’t mean that my level is high because I’ve got no idea because the truths are so well hidden. I am not talking about not having family or friends, I have those & if anything, I am deliberately moving away from friends & some family, because just knowing where they are at with their implanted ideas, it gets really hard not to be very blunt and just say it how it is & tell them they are complete and utter fools they are. BTW, they were all doing Zoom quizzes during the 1st lockdown for 2 hours plus every Saturday afternoon. I didn’t take part. I did hear one person say they were becoming “Paranoid over Covid”, my eyes just rolled & I left the room. The worrying thing is that they are well educated & often the so say educated are the most brainwashed. They literally believe the BBC word for word. Sorry for the boring rant, but Hitchens is a waster, pitch-perfect for his target audience of sheeple.
its very understandable : according to cull plenty of people first europa has
to take in plenty of people from third world on order of rothschild, soros,
rockefeller + bill gates because here in europa is the most perfect burocratic
control of people (not the amazonas) . so they can better been controled
than in the third world . the nazis have already teached governments to cull
people you have to have first the best burocracy on which you can rely on .
the culling goes then automaticly by the own people . you dont need outsiders for it. it works like this what SOLSHENIZYN learned from GULAG :
YOU GO FIRST , we come later ! the rest will do CHEMTRAIL BIOWARFARE
Pete,
I read your book, Abolition of Britain, some twenty years back with trepidation, thinking, Right, but what can us regular folk do?
Did what we could, but dropping standards of living coupled with “new citizens” and who knows what’s next, we were not able to stop a thing.
I no longer buy the idea that people can have self-rule. Once a rich oligarchy decides they want something, they get it. The moral caliber and intellect of the average person makes no difference.
Americans are Deplorable, Brits are Abolished. I see no real difference.
Hitchens, you are slow on grasping what is happening, and what has happened in America. Here is it all in a nutshell: The same type of Bolshevik Ashkenazi Satanic Khazar that destroyed Russia starting in 1917 has now destroyed the USA. The result in Russia was about 75 years of Satanic Communism and the deaths of about 66 million. Jews did it in Russia, and now they will do it in America. Most in the US are too ignorant/stupid to see the truth. When the morons in America wake up, it will be too late. They will be either dead, or in a gulag camp run by Jews, as happened in Russia. If you do not know of Kaganovich or Yagoda or Beria or Yeshov, you have ZERO chance of survival. Not so funny now, is it?
The first move by Satanists Schumer and Schieff and Hoyer will be to disarm Americans. Americans, do not disarm. If you do, you will be slaughtered.
Danny Cohen : – You need to stop using the word ” we ” and replace it with ” they “, as you will be among those who would have everything taken from them.
Ten errors from “Cohen”, who is not the genuine garbage he poses as. He did his Holocaust whinge and advises the goyim against whingeing now, so we have swagger-whinge-hypocrisy so far. Got any more emotions from the gutter for us?
When was Britain last in the least bit like a sane country?? When it was “mad”, in Shakespeare’s time.
Hitchens is misleading when he writes about the McCarthy era in the 1950s. If anything the Senator understated his case because after the Soviet Union finished historians were allowed access to the Stalin era files and documents and they show unheard of infiltration of United States government departments by communist spies, fifth columnists and fellow travelers. The Venona Papers proved this.

Peter Hitchens, mmmmmm. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could spit
The UK Government and the Institutions that support it (BBC, Police, Judiciary/Corporate Media, Big Pharma, Intelligence Services, Central Banks, etc), are now evidently the enemies of the people. The ridiculous idea that the Establishment ever had the interests of the “deplorables” at heart has been well and truly dispelled. They view the general public as cattle. We are a different breed to them. For those with ancient bloodlines, this may well be true. The amount of information coming out on a daily basis is proving beyond all doubt that fraud, corruption,murder and paedophilia are the methods by which the Globalists run the world. Things cannot go on as they are: the status quo is no longer an option. If it takes a cataclysm to turn things around so be it. Bring it on as fast as possible. Get prepared and meditate.
Why would you be afraid about the future of freedom in you country, Mr. Hitchens? I though your forbears fought for your freedom in WWII & vanquished Fascism to secure it?
In the UK, these past ten years, I’ve had exactly ONE intelligent conversation… and that only lasted about 5 minutes before I read the subliminal signs of “Don’t go there!!!”
People are pleasant enough on a surface-level, but scratch a millimetre down and there’s a black void there.
Is it something in the water? Is it genetic? Is it an inbuilt multi-generational Pavlovian reflex, to avoid a beating from ones “betters”? WHY ARE BRITS SO IRREDEEMABLY CLUELESS, DOCILE & DUMB???
You have more freedom now than every before, because now you know better than every before how the power elites have been deceiving you into believing that you were free. With their highly-controlled democracy finally being exposed for the sham the power elites made of it, you are now in a black and white situation where the choice is either totalitarianism continuing to live under mass deceptions, fear and oppression unto your own inevitable demise and death, or fighting for FREEDOM!
Peter, what has happened to you the past last years ??
Where you asleep & you just have woken up ??
Remember ?? Years ago Enoch Powell warned you & you all were laughing at his comments….
How do you feel now, that the scums from Turd World Countries are in charge of UK & making out of all of you Brits, cotton picking slaves, & raping your girls with the blessing of the Law & police ..
Ditto to Carl Jones. I have come to this site regularly for over 15 years now and rarely comment. With the latest developments I’ll bet it’s not long before it is disappeared…. but when you get the theatre at large I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. Once you’re awake ( note not ‘woke’! Lol) there’s no turning back.
@ Carl Jones.
“There’s a contibutor on this site who I am 99% certain is a deep state asset…”
Most intriguing. If it’s a 99% certainty, the name’s surely worth sharing? Who, Carl?
Hitchens is lame. Strength says “I hate Jew Commies, I deny the Holocaust and COVID, and vaccines are biological warfare.
@Mr Reynard…remember, Enoch Powell fought on the side of the Jews & against Aryan supremacy in WWII.
First view “The Spiders web ” on You Tube…its about what really goes on in The City…in London.
The wholesale tax evasion the offshoring of money (even the crypto jew Queen was exposed as having money in the Caribbean…the exposee is currently residing at Her Majestys pleasure in the most secure prison in the UK…on a never ending prison sentence…”they” hoped Assange would die there and considering his ten year ordeal it is surprising he hasnt!.)
The amount of criminality engaged in by those suits in London is breathtaking…..
They dont believe one bit in real democracy….that’s for the plebs….
Then theres Brexit….trumpeted by the media as a triumph for democracy….
MOST people voted for this because BRITAIN IS BEING INVADED BY ALIEN PEOPLES invited in by the same people featured in The Spidersweb AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN BRITAIN.
The public thought voting for Brexit would enable immigration to be brought under control…..but they were not thinking it through after all Hungary and Poland does not allow foreign immigration.
As was predicted….the alien invasion has continued….unabated….what they didnt realise is that THE VOTE TO LEAVE WAS WELCOMED BY THE SCUM MENTIONED IN THE SPIDERSWEB….because political oversight by the EU would have revealed the length and breadth of the SCALE OF CORRUPTION.
THIS CITY OF LONDON ….they’re traitors let’s not forget singlehandedly destroyed much of manufacturing in Britain (you could make a comparison to the decimated industrial sector in the USA….destroyed by the elite who sent industry offshore FOR THEIR PROFIT and to the detriment of the whole country)
NOTICE the state of the railway system in Britain….it is almost third world….WHILE MOST WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES HAVE HIGH SPEED RAIL NETWORKS…BRITISH RAIL IS A JOKE…..with people packed in like sardines in old clanking commuter trains .
HERE WE SEE THE REALITY OF THE HARM DONE TO BRITAIN BY A TOTALLY CORRUPT ELITE.
WARNING:…If you intend to comment publically on this stuff BRITAINS SECRET POLICE MI5 IS MORE “EFFICIENT” than the former Eastern Bloc countries and just as VICIOUS.
The director is of the ethnicity you normally find in these sorts of positions.
The French have been a rival of Britain for 100s of years…so they probably know a bit about the sort of people who run it…..no doubt this is the reason they call them “Perfidious Albion”….the polar opposite of the good sportsman type the English like to portray.
The English never did have a proper revolution….considering the scum in power right now it’s about time thet considered having one.
Dont place your trust in the garralous windbag types like FARAGE…if he posed a threat the media would destroy him.
andyay: I think that some readers (some is optimistic lol) will have worked it out. I would like to think the editor has worked it out & if the person in question reads these comments, they will know who they are. There is no benefit in me naming this person because they’ll do one of two things. They’ll ignore it or they rebuff my claim. My accusation is based on first-hand eyewitness interpretation of this persons behaviors & their subsequent articles on this site.
The purpose of my actions is to warn readers that they need to be VERY careful about what they read and closely analyse what the writer is actually saying and what they also infer. I would be VERY wary of writers who use lots of official data and language. In some cases, I am not even sure if they wrote the entire article. Sometimes I think they’ve been given an outline with data/info points & they have filled in the gaps with their own style. Of course, there are AI bots who can replicate a given writers style.
Ted is mostly wrong here(“someone on the internet is wrong”). It is easier to defeat the EU than the City so you do that first. “Perfidious Albion” is from Shakespeare, isn’t it–not even a foreign country. Farage had assassination attempts on him, France and Germany have less free speech than us, and the destruction of our manufacturing was to make sure we and the other White countries cannot defend ourselves but depend on the global network.
(((They ))) will probably dispose of Farage soon,like they have disposed of Trump.
Lewis Jones: France & German have less free speech than us (UK) because the fake news is better controlled & there’s more ‘real’ resistance in these countries. This is why they are more prosperous than the UK. They are better paid, they have better infrastructure, better education, better healthcare and outcomes, they have fewer state debts, French and German sheeple have lower personal debts, they eat better food, work fewer hours, get more holidays & have more balanced societies. There’s no North, South divide in France or Germany.
Resistance, strong unions, the motivation to protest over basic things are the reasons why they have less free speech. Having said that, I don’t think there is any free speech in the UK, but that is my view.
I think Farage has always batted for the other side but we just didn’t want to see it.
We really cannot trust anyone but I was told once a long time ago when I was in the company of a very well known person in politics who has long gone to reverse everything that we are told by government and media and you will get the answer. It has always worked. Everything that the snakes say I reverse and there it is exactly what they are going to do and it happens. They hate us and lie to us every single day. We are coerced into dying for them in all their phony evil wars and, we are coerced into hating each other because that makes us weak and them stronger.
How are we ever going to let them know that it is finished, it stops and that we are on fire for justice for the past for now, and for the dark future that they think they can lead us blindly into.
Lets petition big time millions of us it is the only way to let the government know we want them to back off. If they do not take heed from the peoples petition then we can like the Australians sue the government for abusing our human rights. We need to frighten them otherwise they will not let go of us. We need a peoples petition and we need it to go to Westminster. That’s the start the rest will follow
