Why you not make a new party with Sir Desmond Swayne who obviously against lockdowns.? Same did refferendum wouldnt work ? ask people what way they like tackle plandemia? Im just simple Chef from Poland i can always go Sweeden or USA but would like stay UK was so nice here never i expect British people will allow for being treaten worst then people in North Korea . Really no democratic institution or any law that can help people here? what with Magna Carta ? or Norymberga laws? Any Lords support ? maybe you should all gather together and go to supreme court if you have one ? or maybe its time for Britain Constitution? Sorry for gramma mistakes . English is my 3rd language.
There are already two newly formed parties that could provide an alternative. Nigel Farage has renamed the Brexit Party and called it the Reform Party, for the exact purpose of opposing lockdown measures. And Lawrence Fox has started a new party called the Reclaim Party, which stands up for civil liberties and has already received plenty of donations. Another option for those of a more left wing persuasion would be the Social Democrat Party, whose leader is a lockdown sceptic.
Assuming the government and the other main parties continue this insane authoritarian path, I would encourage Desmond Swayne and other Conservative rebels to defect to the Reform Party and trigger a by-election just before the local elections in May. Let’s see if they have the guts.
Mark - It certainly would be a start, but they need a push.
They started im aware yes but BUT we have like no time to wait untill election? im a chef i be ok i do a soup from nothing but most people wont. We need action now day by day speak with Lords Judges etc ask Queen to speak? If i be succesfully rich like Simon or some of you i would use all money and contacts to find as much allies as i can. Wonder why Queen is quiet im Monarchist from always and real Queen or King wouldnt allow people to be locked and couuntry devastated.
I share your frustration but unfortunately the Queen is just The figurehead of a fairly toothless and irrelevant royal family these days. If she had any real power she would have stepped in to prevent the liberal establishment’s disgraceful attempt to stop Brexit in the months leading up to last December’s general election. Recently the lying media sharks even tried to bully the Queen for not wearing a mask at an engagement, and guess what! It worked! She was pictured yesterday wearing one outdoors at a First World War remembrance ceremony. She has no control here.
The only positive thing is because of the traditional British herd mentality, if the tide of opinion turns then it will turn in a huge way and hopefully become a tidal wave that drowns every politician and media pundit who wanted lockdowns and other extreme measures. Even allowing for the cowardice of many British people there is no way these opinion polls are accurate, they are possibly worse than USA election pollsters.
I know it’s not soon enough for you, me and millions of other people, but it’s very likely that come February lockdown will become a dirty word amongst the majority of working age people in this country. Even Britain won’t put up with this crap forever.
Oh come on... North Korea ! I bet they allow singing and gatherings there !
i got friend over there and they got more freedom then UK. Im suprised there is not even one judge , or high rank military general that like to stop all of this. Yesterday Polish army Chief Police Chief and Secret service chief demand from Goverent end pandemia after Polish Doctors says in Public its blown panic and they can manage covid like flu and to stop destroy people lives. Hopefully Britain got some good people inside system like Poland.
Maybe if we're lucky the army might turn against this government when they see the footage of policemen shoving veterans around and assaulting them at rememberance parades.
Hi All, I agree 100% with the praise and what is being discussed in support of Sir Desmond Swayne. However, without spoiling it for anyone, could somebody out there please help me with a major issue I have with Sir Desmond. During a radio interview with Richie Allen last thursday 12th November
(https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/richieallen/episodes/2020-11-12T11_27_04-08_00)
at about 38mins in, Sir Desmond was consistent with his answers to Richie, however, at the very end of the interview (at about 52mins in), Richie asks him if he would take the vaccine to which he replies "If the price of getting them (people) out of their home, ...I'll be the first in the queue because I'd be keen to encourage others.."
This guy seems to mean well and is genuine and echoes all our sentiments, but, considering he has 25K+ twitter followers and 7K+ facebook followers and God knows how many people (maybe millions) would have watched his brilliant speeches in parliament, can you image the damage he could cause if he expressed the idea (he may well already have) in one of his speeches that he would take the vaccine if only to encourage others to do the same? It's terrifying. Is he suffering from cognitive dissonance? Is he just naive? (poor chap, bless) or maybe he just lost the plot? Am I overreacting?
No I don’t think so. That was a very poor excuse to take a vaccine. ‘People are frightened and we got to get the economy going’ Boris Johnson needs to start telling the truth and we can back to the old normal straightaway.
I’m beginning to wander if there is. a Financial reward in this for them all.
Also the whole interview is great. Discuss es Trumps election has a really good discussion going. Well worth a listen. Thanks for posting. .
