On Friday I did an interview with Mark Dolan on GB News in which I discussed the Northern Ireland Protocol, tackling illegal cross channel immigration and growing the economy – particularly on ways to assist small businesses and the self-employed.
You can find my interview below between 17:20 and 29:30 minutes in.

I hope the weasels don’t come up with some token arrangement for N Irish politicians to be represented in the EU Parliament. The Sinners and co would jump at it.

All good sound suggestions JR but the Sunak/Hunt government shows no sign of doing the various sensible things you suggest. They are the enemy of small business and economic growth as is net zero rip off energy that they so love. They seem to like attracting & augmenting the illegal immigration too and have no intention of ditching the ECHR or taming the legal profession. How many MPs and Ministers have shares in Drax, the vaccine companies or Capita?
More excellent videos from Dr John Campbell on the vaccine damage etc. not to be missed.

Your not unencouraging words about Northern Ireland came before we knew ” some at the heart of government” had a myopic, distorted, inchoate view of the realities that risks leading to betrayal. The House of Lords is perhaps the same. Why do we have to put up with these people?

Why do we have to put up with these peopke? We donāt. We can vote out the Conservatives. Make that your priority

Though you did say āSunak is not a stupid manā. Well perhaps he is not but almost everything he did, supported or funded as Chancellor was exceptionally stupid as are Hunts absurd tax grabs since. The lockdowns, test and trace, the net harm vaccines (especially for the children and young people), eat out to help out, furlough, the vast Covid loan fraud, the inflationary money printing, ditching Boris, HS2, the āloansā for pointless degrees ā¦
Or at least is was stupid if you are trying to the best for the country! Denis Healey (double first in Greats) was perhaps not stupid but his 98% interest rates certainly were.

98% income tax rate I meant!
February 21, 2023
As everybody knows the 98% applied to revenue larger than todayās equivalent of Ā£221,741.
api.parliament.uk āIncome tax rates for 1973-74ā, 16/05/1972 vol 837 cc471-488
LLās usual āanerieā is to present 98% as if it was the tax rate that all tax payers had to pay. For the average income in 1973-74 (Ā£1,500 annual) the rate was 30%.

February 22, 2023
To charge anyone 98% income tax is idiotic and counterproductive way above what would raise the most tax and even that point is way to high.
February 22, 2023
Indeed. And those of us old enough to remember recall every successful pop āstarā relocated to the states. Nowadays racing drivers and tennis players live in Monaco. If you make serious money you flee high taxes.
February 21, 2023
mmm .. perceptions of stupidity vary. Sunak has taken a walk in many persons shoes and knows which ones are more comfortable. He doesn’t need mystic meg .
February 21, 2023
The interview portrayed another consistently high quality performance from SJR; full of straight answers with clarity and supported reasoning. Others in parliament should digest such good sense and proceed to act for the better.

”India has invoked an emergency law to force power plants that run on imported coal to maximise output ahead of an expected record surge in power usage this summer, according to an internal power ministry notice seen by Reuters”
Thats how you provide cheap sustainable energy for your own people
February 22, 2023
Indeed and burning )even coalā is far better in environmental terms than chopping down US forests (killing much wildlife) then shipping the wood over to Drax on oil powered ships and burning while demanding vast subsidies to do so.

You give us clarity, mostly confirming our own thoughts. I speculate on what it is that gets in the way of a similar level of thinking in the Cabinet. Is it that they fail to share our clarity because they are working to a completely different agenda. Do they have inputs that overshadow clarity.
Yesterday a senior policeman was gunned down in Omagh, reportedly by terrorists of the New IRA. It could have related to his success in limiting their criminal activity rather than being a resurgence of political activity. However the NIP must be resolved before any idiot fringe decide to do it with a gun. So I sincerely hope that clarity descends on the situation around the NIP and the RUC only have crime to deal with.

De facto amnesty for asylum seekers proposed by the government and its civil servants, something about filling in a questionnaire.
