A mainstream YouTuber who I quite enjoy as he's a character and a laugh has had David Icke on a podcast. His mate who he hosts it with sufferers heavily from cognitive dissonance, I'm only halfway through but he seems to be more open minded in this and actually listening to Icke instead of just dismissing what he's saying. I think it's great Icke went on this podcast as the audience who watch True Geordie are probably not likely to watch Icke. Some might as Geordie has a wide range of viewer's, at a guess I'd say his target audience is 14-30, for the young one's especially it's important their school conditioning is shattered by hearing Icke.
Just a couple of political vids.

The Harriss's like Hills bro, don't think those ones are anywhere in Buckinghamshire 
General election 2019: The town that won't get a choice
www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50320790

10 November 2019
At every general election, there is one constituency in the UK where the voters don't get to vote for the main parties.
"A pointless vote."
"Undemocratic."
"A sham."
Those are the views of some of the 80,000-strong electorate in Buckingham, who feel they haven't had a democratic say at a general election since 2005.
That's because Buckingham's MP has been John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons for the last 10 years.
A longstanding parliamentary tradition means major parties agree not to stand against the Speaker, who is considered to be politically neutral.
What's the role of a Speaker in Parliament?
Last Orderrrrs! Speaker John Bercow in numbers
The convention is occasionally broken by some parties - such as the Green Party and UKIP - but that didn't hamper the re-election of Mr Bercow.
He won his seat at the last election in 2017, standing as "the Speaker seeking re-election", with 65% of the vote - a majority of more than 25,000.
"It looked for a while as though Bercow would never go - that we would never actually get a meaningful vote," jokes Phil Harriss, 57, from the village of Brill, 16 miles from Buckingham.
He started a campaign called "Give us a voice, not a Speaker" before the 2015 election when his daughter became eligible to vote.
"I realised she didn't really have a meaningful vote and neither did anyone else in the constituency," he said. "We haven't had since 2005."
The predominantly rural constituency of Buckingham is nestled between Oxford, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes and covers Chequers - the official country residence of the prime minister.
Phil, who is not affiliated to a particular party, said there was a lack of awareness about the situation facing Buckingham voters - both within the constituency and outside.
People would vote for Mr Bercow thinking they were voting Conservative, he said, but they didn't realise that, as Speaker, he no longer represented the party.
He said the problem didn't stop at elections, but also between elections the Speaker didn't vote in Parliament "so effectively we're not represented".
"The more I investigated it, it just seems so undemocratic," he said. "There's a lot of things that need modernising in Parliament and this is certainly one of them. It's a sham."
Lifetime Conservative supporter Trevor Nicosia, 60, from Princes Risborough, described his vote at the last three elections as "useless".
"Why do I go down to the polling station? I do because that's democracy and my son is 20 and it would be bad for me to not set an example for my kids.
"But it seems a bit pointless. It makes you wonder why you are getting up off your backside to do so."
After Mr Bercow's retirement as Speaker, Labour MP and deputy Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle was elected as his replacement on Monday.
So now it's the turn of the voters in Sir Lindsay's constituency of Chorley, Lancashire, to find their options restricted.
The market town of Chorley sits at the heart of the south Lancashire constituency - a mainly rural area lying to the north west of Manchester.
Laura Crowther, a 39-year-old teacher from Chorley, said she was "really angry" that at such an important time in British politics, her MP has essentially been assured his seat by Parliament.
She said Sir Lindsay, who has held the seat since 1997, would probably have been re-elected.
But "to deny me and thousands of others our chance to at least have our say - even if the outcome would probably be the same - just seems a little unfair and, frankly, corrupt".
Laura has always voted in elections, but said she was unsure what to do this time around, although she was leaning towards spoiling her ballot.
"Why don't they take his parliamentary seat from him and allow another Labour candidate to stand in Chorley - then at least the people are given their hard-fought right to vote?" she asked.
Voting in his second general election will be 22-year-old Oliver Knights, who represents the Young Conservatives in Chorley but admitted there was no longer any point in trying to drum up support for the Tories in his hometown.
"For this election I'll canvass support in other constituencies. There are a lot of marginal seats in Lancashire, so I'm trying to think of the bigger picture."
Oliver said despite having different party allegiances to the new Speaker, he would probably vote for Sir Lindsay rather than spoil his ballot paper.
Not voting isn't an option, he added, as "it's a right that people died for".
He said while it was disappointing not to get a choice at the election, the increasing prominence of the role of Speaker, largely down to Mr Bercow, could benefit his town.
He hopes Sir Lindsay getting the position will help "create a buzz" in the area and engage people in politics.
"If you take a step back then it gives Chorley uniqueness," he said, "only we have the Speaker". |

Billionaires Control the Media Billionaires control the media, and it's undermining our democracy. The broadcast media amplify the right-wing print media meaning the political agenda is always set by, you guessed it, billionaires. 5 % (my % button Is ? yes, the 5 button---Keys are a whole n'other story !) Tax the 5% and that leaves them with 95%, Iffy my matts maybe but you get the DECIBEL point  |

Long time no post from me, I've been working like a dog for the man. Wage slavery at it's finest, but until more people wake up I have to conform to this system to buy the things I need (not want like the consumer sheep). You might've heard there's an election here in the UK. While I've not been totally enamoured with Corbyn because of his position on the EU over the last year he's still the best on offer, and I want his policies, I might not agree with a second referendum on the EU but I'll concede it in order to get better school's, hospital's and end the scourge of homelessness and food bank's also because I know leave will in another referendum. So I will be voting Labour as I've known nothing but conservative government and I include new Labour when I say that, I want a change, and want to see what Corbyn is made of when he goes against the elite toe to toe. Why Corbyn? Guardian vox pop. Eton educated moron. 👿💩 "Man of the people" Boris Johnson. Jerusalem! So happy spitting image is coming back, won't be happy if it's politically correct, don't mess with a perfect thing. Tory party conference. When people wake up more, the video on this page is what happens next. www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/Peace and love truth comrades! ✌✊ |
