VIDEO: Paul Embery discusses the riots on GB News
On Friday, I appeared as a panellist on GB News’s Dewbs & Co alongside the former deputy leader of Reform UK Ben Habib. We discussed the riots, and in particular whether some of the sentences handed down to people who had made inflammatory comments on social media were unduly harsh. We also talked about the pay settlement for train drivers, and the outbreak of the mpox virus in Africa (and what it might mean for us in Britain). The broadcast can be watched below.

Thank you Paul for putting the case for the ASLEF dispute resolution and counter-acting the rhetoric heard by certain commentators.
Regarding ‘Money’ Pox, Bev was right that the phrase ‘coordinated international response’ should set the alarm bells ringing. Although I don’t think we’ll see any draconian edicts issued THIS time, those pan-national NGOs and other non-elected globalists are clearly keen to flex their muscles and increase their bank balances, once again.
It was crystal clear from the very beginning that the response to covid would do more harm to our society than good, and that it would (indirectly, at least) cause greater loss of life than what was an unremarkable virus.
The manipulated deathrate figures (using the died WITH not necessarily OF counting method) did a good job in disguising this, but one should never lose sight of the fact that even the official ONS figures showed that the average age of mortality was equal to or above the average life expectancy, by mean, median and mode averages. Covid was NEVER a genuine threat to the wider population, despite the irrational, hysterical (and extremely vocal) messaging from many quarters. However, the response to it was far more indiscriminate in who it harmed, and was most keenly felt by the most economically vulnerable and emotionally fragile members of society, who were thrown under the bus in a perverse display of thoughtless faux-virtue signalling.
That the Government refused to release a cost benefit analysis of lockdowns by summer 2020, at the latest, was particularly shocking. Fortunately, many respected institutions did, and their findings clearly backed up the opinions of lockdown sceptics.
Moving forwards, the big worry now is that lockdowns appear to be seen as a ‘legitimate’ government tool. They aren’t – certainly not in anything resembling a civilised liberal democracy.
