I love listening to Peter.
Love is a bit of a stretch 😅
I don't. He's too much of an intellectual stick in the mud. I did always enjoy him in his role as Aloysius "Nosey" Parker in Thunderbirds though.
I agree with Hitchens. He has a unique perspective as being a former Marxist Leninist. He’s knows how the hard left operate through entryism and incrementalism of the mainstream.
Peter Hitchens is a realist who views should be taken seriously by our gormless politicians
Peter has entered his Ecclesiastes arc.
22:58 what do you think Christianity offers to culture at this particular societal moment?
The same as ever. The promises and warnings Jesus and His disciples gave were addressed to individual men and women rather than culture or society.
The offer is forgiveness of sins, adoption in God's family and eternal life. There are numerous side benefits, when a significant number of individuals follow Christ sincerely you will get a better society, but it's not about society needing Christianity, it's about men and women needing Christ.
Better to think for yourself and take responsibility for your own actions.
Except that the Cathedral (CofE) in Manchester flew the new rainbow flag from their rooftop and they are not alone.
@@angelamckavanagh4696CofE is, always was, and continues to be a false religion - like all Protest churches from the "reformation" and even the One True Holy Church is struggling to NOT embrace the times and sinful themes of the modern world. With that said, the Catholic Church is the ship best situated, of course, to take humanity to Our Lord.
@@angelamckavanagh4696That's why the Orthodox church is the unchanged and true church.
Yes, there are many Orthodox churches in the UK and in the entire West, thank God for not abandoning us
Just watched talk tv re protests. Agree strongly with Peter. They should be allowed to have their say otherwise we would have no idea what 'others' are thinking. Thank you Peter.
Well, that was uplifting
Love the parting word! The world is going to do what the world is going to do. It always will. Remember Matthew 10:22.
There is no god.
Well done Peter totally agree...It appears to me that the degradation is about a lack of interest in truth...and the obsession with the imperitives of the pseudo realities of psychologies..But please keep lighting candles
Great listen.
Peter is right about the total victory of left ideology in all our institutions. Even Dr Martin's famous school has meekly submitted, or at least its headmaster has.
However it's surprising that a Christian should sound so defeated. There is always hope. The kingdom of God is like yeast in a loaf. The teachings of Jesus transformed this country from its dissolute state in the C18 and can do so again.
Interesting video. I like hear Peter point view. He has been right in the past. Family now spread all over the country. I have 4 grown up kids never see them. 2 Manchester the other 2 Australia on my advice may I say. I see know future in the UK any more for the working class.. Thats my view
superb summing up by peter hitchens, he truly is a voice of sanity in an increasingly insane world, it is very difficult to be optimistic about anything as every day we hammered by the new thought and culture, from the trivial such as kevin keegan's remarks about female football pundits through to the official line about the ukraine war, we desperately need a new political party which is prepared to fundamentally attack these forces who now impose this soft totalitarianism upon us
Looking forward to listening to this
Higher levels of consciousness, which is the ground on which psychologies stand, is the only possible release from this limitation of ignorance...the Truth that is there for the finding in Christianity and Buddhism....Best wishes Peter keep going......
What a mighty man Peter Hitchens is-he’s preparing us for death,
Thank you Mr PH ……..All seems obvious
Mr. Hitchens takes a static position on the ‘before/after’ times. He’s putting the sins of old people not listening to him on young people that weren’t born when he was shouting from the mountain
Great interview. One of the few times peter actually explains his view properly instead of the usual contrarian bullshit. This should be distributed widely. Well done guys
Despite the grimness, a funny and insightful interview. Hard to disagree with anything Mr Hitchens says here, though I wish it weren't so. The so-called 'soft' brand of totalitarianism isn't going to stay soft much longer. We'll see what happens then.
I'm remembering when I disagreed with Peter when he was on a show on a Sunday morning. I'll try to find it. There was a lady Rabbi as well.
Interesting.
"A new power has taken control."
And Peter has finally found his deckchair. Time to lie back, with a nice pint, and laugh.
A duel where one of the combatants forgot to load his revolver.
How powerless do you think ordinary people feel..you vote for certain policies and when the politicians are elected they do whatever they want
If he had the charisma of a Douglas Murray or Konstantin Kisin his words might have reached more people and had more impact.
Peter is completely right but nobody seems able to do anything about it ? It will take many years to die of its own accord and something more honest take its place.
Bring on the the secular republic!!!!!!!
I found the smug smiling from the host irritating on this interview, and glad Peter picked up on it too
If the call of the Christian was to preach conservative ideals that can save the wayward soul, I can understand his resigned despair. But that is not the Great Commission. Our call is to preach Christ is King. Ignorance of the gospel is the true frontline between light and dark. And the gospel is still convicting, saving, redeeming, restoring, healing and transforming masses of people. Thus, the New Testament doesn’t give us permission to stew in a loathing pessimism, not when our message is the HOPE of the gospel. It and it alone is the two-edged sword of power that we are never to tire wielding or be ashamed of preaching. It seems Peter H has no hope because he lost his grip on the right sword… and tried his best to hammer out his own literary one which received minimal attention. Jesus said if people reject HIS word, then we wipe the dust off our feet and move on to the alleys and byways and seek out the poor, the blind, the disabled… the proverbial masses that are overlooked but would cherish a teacher like Peter inviting them into the only counter-revolutionary movement that Christians ever had: the kingdom of God.
Mostly true, how many books are there in your bible?
Nailed it
Things will not get better until we fix the education system. Stop the feminist classroom.
Interesting and while I don't disagree with everything Peter says because like Chris Hedges, Peter is one of only a few who still care but we should remember we or any other person for that matter doesn't know everything.
Peters problem for me, is he doesn't believe in a societal right to change, this might be because he's lost faith in people but this mindset also forgets about wealthy minority who use sophisticated properganda to manipulate, it also asumes most people haven't and will never have enough sense or cognition to learn from their own mistakes and at this point I think it's only fair to ask Peter "how much faith in people can one have when those same people are allready imperfect sinners"
He is completely correct....Our country is finished...over ....i mentioned we lost our country decades ago......therefore suck it up......
As soon as we "fight back" were called "racist." This is how we have lost.
Someone needs to remind Peter Hitchens that despair is a sin that is closely related to pride. His proud and relentless exclamations of "I told you so'" border on the vindictive. He drains energy from the right and is always punching right. He also forgets that political situations can change in the blink of an eye.
I agree. His persistent pessimistic attitude is depressing for those of us who are believing for a better governance to come and a coming justice wherein things will be made right.
God bless him and God bless Britain
This tells us more about you than Hitchens.You’re weak of mind.
Perhaps he is Britain’s Jeremiah. The right has already lost its energy.
He’s right though,there is no hope for Britain. Empires and civilisations fall, it’s a fact of life
Christopher Hitchens is the voice of one pissing in the wind.
Would Mr Hitchens concede that prior to the late 19th C we all lived under a 'soft' feudal totalitarianism and that the democratic 'institutions' were indeed established by what we now binarily insist on calling the 'left' in resistance to this. I am concerned that this chap is dealing in a 'double think' that is nothing more than the other face of the coin represented by what the 'right' has successfully reduced to the 'PC' programme that maintains the 'soft' totalitarianism of which he complains. I would argue the point that actually 'PC' and it's various neurotic extensions (including the form of 'conspiratorial' polemic being proliferated here) is a 'psycho-babble', pseudo religious construct designed to control any Real progress - the purportedly 'non-binary' using the most binary forms. Whom does this intellectually petty diktat and it's tedious circular debate serve but the corporate status quo? Always ask the question - 'who's shaking the jar'? Free your mind.
There are some who have made critical comments about Peter's pessimism from an apparently Christian perspective. One comment says it is sin. Such comments are,in my opinion, made by naive and ill-informed Christians. This precise situation happened with Jesus. Read Matthew 23:37,38 because you might learn something thereby. They stoned the prophets, they ignored Christ's message until in despair he said, 'Behold your house is left unto you desolate. The so-called Christian West is in the same state of moral bankruptcy and it is also facing desolation.
Although its unlikely a supernatural God exists, it gives comfort to some folks in their twilight years.
God, a first cause, the prime mover, is an absolute ABSOLUTE necessity - all modern science points towards a designer of the cosmos and everything in it.
What a miserable parting thought from Hitchens. It seems he is wishing his life away, waiting for the eternal. Meanwhile, the work and way of being that Jesus taught and left us to continue is still waiting for us to participate in. Many are the wounds to be bound, grieving hearts to comfort, widows to clothe, persecuted to seek justice for...
For a man who mourns the soft authoritarianism, it's strange that he misses tough policing, tough justice, tough prisons, obligatory religion in schools and public life. He clearly likes authoritarianism, as long as it's his kind. Treating the root of societal problems, harms and hurts through education and redemptive processes are not on his radar at all. Only the rod. One wonders if he had an unhappy childhood.
Authoritarianism isn’t inherently wrong. What Peter is saying is that totalitarianism is the wrong and that it is incoming
@@JosephusAureliusit's here.
When have your lot ever actually treated the root of any societal ill?
17:03 Mr Hitchens is right, Dr Martin doesn’t get it and really does think that it’s all a big joke. He smiles fatuously throughout the conversation, as though patronizing a child or a fool.
He got more to he left and Peter is back on bbc pay role. Question time losing audience.
nothing is eternal and theres no hope for this fool his theology stops him thinking or caring its sad
5:03 - The parable. The use of the parable by Christ. Things like Animal Farm.
