The Tim Heale podcasts, ordinary people's extraordinary stories.

2 (17s):
Welcome to series four of the Tim Heale podcast in this series. It's Tim having to rent and he's me. So if you enjoy, we have a bit of a rant and going on about what's going on in today's society. Stay tuned. If we tell, when I listened to me rent, well, you can always turn me. Welcome to another thirsty, thirsty team's rents this time. I'll go on about what the government's looking at doing to us with their plan B and plan C.

2 (57s):
They gearing us up for another look down. You can see it coming. You just know that, oh, we don't want to, but the figures are shining. Oh, crises are going up. Or COLSA cases are going up. We that Tom in a year, we always always see an increase in people getting cold and flu. And this time it's a bit of COVID thrown in with it, but it's no reason to lock the country down. I, once again, I ain't going to happen. Boris, listen, it ain't gonna happen. The country won't stand another locked down.

2 (1m 38s):
We've had enough of it. It doesn't work. Just look at the evidence, just look at the evidence around the world, the Danes and the Swedes never locked down at all. And I don't have it so much of a problem. They don't even the Danes have even ban the wearing of muzzles. No more mass in Denmark, let's put into perspective. 99% of the master people were do absolutely nothing other than virtue signal, unless it's a full on surgical mast.

2 (2m 18s):
It's not going to do anything other than virtue signal. It's not going to protect the NHS unless there's talk about protecting the Ida, NHS, the NHS, isn't there to protect, be protected. It's there to protect us. And when you can't get him appointments, you can't get this. You can't get that from the NHS. It ain't fit for purpose. What they've done, they've reduced the amount of beds that we've got from somebody like about 250,240,000 across the country, and then assigned I'll we're overwhelmed.

2 (3m 4s):
We haven't got a beds. Well, we've got bed blockers. We've got old people that we can't move on because they've got nowhere to go. Oh, increase their beds. A simple, they, last year they put all these, all their effort into building these Nightingale hospitals. They mobilized the, brought the military in, they built these hospitals within a few weeks and then they never actually used them. They just filled up the hospitals with COVID pay seats. If they had to fill it up the night and go hospitals with COVID patients and got on with three in everybody else.

2 (3m 47s):
But didn't have COVID in hospitals. We wouldn't have the massive, massive backlog there. We've got a moment. Let's face it. The backlog is horrendous and they can't see a way through. Well, I was at the reform U K party conference the other week, and they've got a plan to get us out of this. And all you have to do is look, if you go, if you can't see a doctor within a few days, you get a voucher to go and see a private doctor.

2 (4m 27s):
Whereas let's face it after doctors or private doctors, anyway, that do part-time with the NHS and then go and do their own practices for private. So you get a voucher to go and see a doctor. If you can't get to see a, to get procedure within three weeks, you get a voucher and you go private. And I recommend I. And when somebody's about 18 months of this system being in place, you'd have the waiting list down to almost zero. You look around the world, the rest of the world doesn't have massive waiting lists like we have because they run their health systems, health systems, different.

2 (5m 15s):
We need to reform the NHS and the way it's run is not fit for purpose. And the moment it's been overwhelmed, again, bullies, shouldn't be overwhelmed, not the amount of money that we're pouring into it. It needs reforming. And anybody said to it needs reforming or their Noster changed it. They picked on the you'll your pick picking on am NHS. And it's the best in the world. Well, actually he's not at the moment. It's not fair for purpose. If we've got to not use it to protect it, then it ain't fit purpose.

2 (5m 58s):
Is it so moving on? Okay. The next thing I'm going to look at is these Christmas adverts. Let's call it Christmas. We've always had Christmas. We haven't had happy holidays. I'm Americans. I've the holidays we don't. We have Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. So let's call it what it is. Christmas. Let's celebrate it as Christmas. Let's not call it some again, all these adverts coming out of the moment.

2 (6m 40s):
It just beggars belief. What I call in it. So, and talking about adverts. Well, what can I say? I don't watch much live TV because I don't watch any live TV because I don't pay my license fee. We took that decision about 18 months ago, we got absolutely fed up with the, the BBC and the propaganda laws that it was producing on a daily basis and a rubbish that I put out. I mean, just take a look at question time.

2 (7m 22s):
BBC, question time. We're Fiona, Bruce. What are absolute far stays? Well, well, it just gets me too angry. I don't want to talk about it. Sorry, but the rest of what I put on the ITV, look at the adverts. How many mixed race families are there on there? So you've got a black man with a white woman with a Chinese child, or you got a boy. He ran that. And what do they think they're doing with some of these adverts?

2 (8m 5s):
It just is so, so in proportionate and the latest thing I saw that they are now promoting ethnic minorities above their station. They're not promoting people or merit in the police force anymore. They're escalating them because of their ethnicity. I'm afraid. That's just not right. It's just not right. If you call gout, there will merit. How can you possibly do the job?

2 (8m 45s):
There's a way above your pay grade. I don't understand their thinking on that. So get a great less, let's look at what we're doing to this country. Let's stop bashing it less. Get some pride back in this country, less do the right thing for this country. Let's support it. Let's stop bashing. Every single try deal that we're doing around the world and less stop trying to get back into the EU and talking to the AAU. Look what I do in a poor Poland.

2 (9m 25s):
I mean, Poland's had it pretty rough over the years. You, you go back several decades and, and look at what they've done to Poland. And now the EU is saying that they can't even have its own judicial system in charge of its own people. It's got to come subservient to the ACJ, the European court of justice, which is an unelected body. Why this is a reason that we got out of the EU. This is why we're fighting the, the Northern Ireland protocol, which at the moment is in fit for purpose.

2 (10m 6s):
It needs to be scrapped. Article 16 needs to be brought in, and we need to be able to trade with Northern Ireland. The same as we do with Scotland or Wales, we shouldn't have a barrier down. The north sea is not right. It just ain't right. And if, if the EU are so worried about us sending pork sausages into Southern Ireland for the backdoor or, or pushing all of our stuff through the back door, through Northern Ireland, in the Southern island, then they can put up a barrier.

2 (10m 48s):
They can put up a border, but nobody wants a border between north and south Ireland. These pointless, all the trade that goes on is regulated. Anyway, what do you think that because we've left ear, you we've dropped our standards. As standards are higher than you use to start with. We, we never dropped our standards. The problem is that the, you never, ever came up to our standards in the first place. So, and they're talking about their low level playing field.

2 (11m 31s):
Well, look what we've achieved since we've left on the vaccine rollout or the, or the production of vaccines, the development of vaccines that would have happened. Had we still been under thunder of Brussels, it just wouldn't have happened. Would it let's face it. We are so much better off by ourselves. And I talk about, oh, all the HG V drivers have left the country. Nobody ain't, they've got back to where they came from. We've had this problem coming for a long time. I covered this in a couple of episodes ago, but there's a shortage right across the world, actually of heavy goods drivers.

2 (12m 19s):
And that's down to the way I've been training it over the decades. I know all about it. I was a lower driver for a period. And yeah, you're not a great at the best of times. However, I can't blame that on Brexit. You look at America, they've got a shortage of heavy goods drivers. You look at Europe, all over Europe, they've got shortage and it's just the way that drivers are treated. And they're paid that the PI of a class one heavy goods driver is ridiculous. You're in charge of a 44 tons rolling down the road as a professional driver.

2 (13m 6s):
It's a great big responsibility. And you're penalized at every single day that you're working. You've got this. Now you've got this digital spy in a cab. It recalls everything that a driver does from the minute he gets into the cab and turns the key. It shows everything needs doing how he's driving, how he's not driving, how he's breaking, how he's calling her in the hours that he's driving. The minutes that is at rest. It gives all of that information. And if, if for instance, you've got 44 times on your back and you're coming down a hill and you're over spade, which is really difficult.

2 (13m 56s):
You don't want to be using a lot of brakes going down a big hill because while you'll end up with you're breaking your heart, the brakes expand away from the shoes. And then you get brake fade. You can slow down. So what happens next? There's a big accident at Abott meal, but the drivers at fault do I come down here was obviously use your, your exhaust brake and you drop down your case. Simple. However, people don't give drivers enough respect. They don't understand that.

2 (14m 37s):
Trying to stop 44 tons on a six months is very, very difficult. It just doesn't happen. It's the inertia that keeps it going it time. That's why they are professional drivers. They know how to slow down out a stop a vehicle, but you can get shown clown pose your front, slams on his brakes on one, this water truck stay on top of him, Rushmore case. Anyway, I've gone on a little bit more than I want you to today, but in the meantime, or thank you for saying Swedish this little bit of a rant, but it is Thursday and I'm on my girl on the older <inaudible> and have a bit more of a rent.

The reason I got into this podcast malarkey is so I could leave a legacy for my children and my grandchildren in the years to come. So they will know what I did with my life. I wish my grandparents had done the same for me. Unfortunately they didn't in my latest series on giving people the opportunity to leave their own legacy for their children and families for the future.
