$10 for a clip of Donald Trump speaking intelligently on policy — thinks it’s impossible. What have you got?
The media could not be played.
"Who are you, an atheist anti-monarchist, to tell me how this country should be run?"
Piers Morgan asks me why I have such a problem with hereditary monarchy in the 21st Century.

As an outsider from the UK listening to I struggle to understand why voter ID is so controversial, and why it isn't mandatory to present ID when voting.
Destiny () doesn't see it as a problem.
Am I missing something?

Glad to see Sadiq is finally getting tough on crime ahead of the election

My dad left my home when I was nine and living in one of the poorest areas of the country. I worked hard at a failing state school to get accepted into a prestigious university, and am paying for it myself. I’m proud of my history. You disgust me. x.com/mohammed_hijab

Peter Hitchens just stormed out of our podcast recording, but not before telling me:
“I don’t like you … I really don’t like you. I really have decided in the past hour I really do not like you at all. I had no opinions of you before, and now I actively dislike you.”

Having cup of tea to recover from attempted ‘interview’ with .@cosmicskeptic Alex O’ Connor, having slogged across London by bike to be bored for almost an hour by unoriginal questions about ….drugs. Nothing else. Just drugs. Walked out.
My debate with David Wood, "Did Jesus Claim to be God?" premiers on YouTube at 4pm EST today. Will you be watching?
Hi Mr Hitchens, I see you are still posting about me.
I know you think I was boring, and unoriginal, and that I shouldn't have asked so many questions about drugs.
But is this kind of outburst warranted in response?

If your pet had to be put down, would you be okay with it being done at a slaughterhouse?
What does this tell us about slaughterhouses?
“I’m not interested in dragons, I’m interested in reality”
and finally face off…
You're obsessed with drugs

@CosmicSkeptic has now stated : 'If alcohol is going to be legal then yes, other drugs probably should be legal too'. As I suspected, he is in thrall to one of the crudest and stupidest slogans of our time . And this person claims to be some kind of philosopher. Gosh.
As of yesterday, I am, for the first time in my life, a full-time YouTuber! Thanks to everyone making this possible, I’ll never get over my luck.
There can be no compromise on our ethical principles. How can we oppose the torture even of our enemies, but pay to inflict it on animals? Full speech --> youtu.be/gcVR2OVxPYw
Friendly reminder that the number of animals killed by the Australian fires are killed every day by the meat industry because they taste nice. And it’s a lot easier to choose something else on the menu than put out the fires, if you’re concerned about saving innocent lives. x.com/LithWolfe/stat

If you’re going to repost my content don’t cut out my watermark and link to the original
If taste is a good enough reason to justify killing an animal, why not the other four senses? Why can't I harm an animal because I like the way it sounds when they squeal? Or the way it looks when they die? Or the smell of their blood?
One year ago today I gave up animal products. I’ve never felt healthier, happier, or more driven.
Why eat one and love the other?

Pope Francis apologises for use of homophobic slur yesterday. He in no way meant to offend gay people, only to condemn them.

Hey, that’s from my show! (Idk who decided to put their own watermark on my content, lol.)
Full episode is on my YouTube channel.
The moral argument alone provides enough reason to abolish factory farms. The pandemic prevention argument alone is enough. Antibiotic resistance prevention alone is enough. The environment argument alone is enough.
Yet we have all four. And against what? A cheap sausage roll.
If it weren’t for cameras filming police behaviours on the street, we wouldn’t have a modicum of the evidence we do now of the abuse of power, instigating of violence, attacking of peaceful protesters, etc. I wonder why the police are attacking journalists?
