First comment is someone taking him to task over it so that isn't a bad start.

That's just one post of literally 100's, all equally mental. Apparently, his YT channel has had more than 100 billion views.

Yes saw that. He wrote that in himself as 1000,289,666 so forgot one of the commas

There’s no point in linking the article as there’s nothing in it about that last line.

It wouldn’t surprise me though if it did the rounds on X.

Engineers were drafted in to fix Westminster's famous Big Ben clock after it stopped on Wednesday morning.

An incorrect number of bongs also sounded at the wrong time when the Elizabeth Tower clock appeared to stop for about an hour at 9am.

Big Ben’s iconic bongs rang out at 10:06am instead of on the hour.

A House of Commons spokesman said: “We are aware that the clock dials on the Elizabeth Tower were temporarily displaying the incorrect time this morning [Wednesday April 24].

Terrifying.
Wake up people.

Anyone checked to see if the ravens are still at the Tower?

Worryingly they’ve got their own (illegal) schools propagating the nonsense

“For nearly a month I worked undercover as a teacher at Universallkidz, a suspected illegal school in Greater Manchester, alongside colleagues who believed that the dinosaurs never existed and viruses are not real; that aircraft vapours in the sky cause dementia and crystals could cure serious illness; and, most concerning of all, that the government was, in league with organisations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and wealthy businessmen, are covertly attempting to depopulate and enslave the world — a conspiracy known as the “great reset theory”.
If schools like Eton and Winchester were established to educate the future administrators of state, Universallkidz was set up with the very opposite purpose: it is a training ground for the resistance movement, where children are instructed in foraging, self-defence and natural remedies to survive and defy this supposed plot against humanity. “They won’t have to be woken up because they’ve never been asleep,” as one teacher called Red put it to me.

What do you think of religion based schools?

I can't answer for anyone else, but my opinion is that they are an outrage. Childhood indoctrination is unforgivable, in my view.

[740EVTORQUES]

I think you can draw a legitimate distinction between faith schools and the sort of CT nonsense taught by the ‘schools’ referred to in this article.


(I’m not in favour of faith schools however.)

When I was a kid, we finished first school, and I went to the local secondary school. My best mate however, had to go to a Roman Catholic secondary and the RC high school across town.

He was gutted at first, but his Mom wouldn’t hear of any argument against it. He was going and that was that.

He’s not religious in any way now, and never has been.

I would agree with this.

Fine, if people want to follow some story book as the truth then they are well entitled to it. But yes the conspiracy quoted there as fact is quite disturbing, but you can fully imagine vulnerable people getting swept up in it.

I left school 40 years ago, so I don’t know if R.E (religious education) is still one of the compulsory lessons.

I’ve never bought into it, and didn’t agree to the lessons being compulsory. I made a stand once during one of those lessons, much to the annoyance of the teacher.

They still do teach it, but it is taught as a lesson about religious faiths, much the same way any lesson is taught. Its not taught as a way to indoctrinate or push a particular religion onto a child - I suspect your RE lessons were maybe the latter?

Its a learning lesson, and certainly as the majority of the people on the planet follow one of the many religions out there, I do believe its worth understanding what they are. It would be no different really to teaching people about geography, art or maths.

That assertion maybe true to a degree in this country but the production of religious zealots that carry out atrocities in the name of various religions shows that indoctrination is alive and well.
I don’t really see a difference between dogmatic strict religious teachings and those in the illegal “CT” schools.

It certainly felt like the latter at the time. Maybe I was just being an arrogant arse, as no-one else seemed to have a problem with it.

99.99999%+ of religious people do not carry out atrocities. Non religious people also carry out atrocities, but, 99.99999%+ of those also do not carry out atrocities. You are significantly more likely to be killed by a drunk in a car, or a doped up muppet in a pub, than any religious person blowing themselves up. If you want to talk about things like 'who kills who'.

Anyway, you can generalise and say even the most dogmatic of religious schools as far as I know, do not tell the kids to go out and blow themselves up on a train, that all comes much later down the line away from schools. I will hang my hat out there and speculate that the majority of religious schools do not preach the style of hate and division that the CT school linked appears to do.

I am not religious, and I dont believe there is a god, but the significant majority of religious people live a peaceful existence. That school linked, assuming what is on the surface of it true, is clearly attempting to divide and generate hate broadbrush based on some nonsense, that much must be obvious.

Well if you don't indoctrinate them while they are young, then all religions would disappear in a generation. We can't have that!!
