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

2 (17s):
Welcome to series four heal podcast in this series. It's Tim having to rent and he's me. So if you enjoy having a bit of a rant and going on about what's going on in today's society, stay tuned. If you go, and they listened to me rant, well, it could always turn Welcome to the Tim hill podcasts, and I've got to change this. I'm going to give it instead of 10 rans. This is going to be food for thought. Okay. I'd just like to start this particular episode with my concerns for her majesty the queen.

2 (1m 6s):
Now, the queen has been a little bit poorly of lately. I just hope that it's nothing really serious and it's just that she's been overdoing it slightly and that she can have been advised to take it easy. The last thing we need now is for the queen to pop her clogs and we'll end up in some serious, serious problems with the monarchy. So don't think young child is ready to properly take over at the moment to be honest. And I think that the country would rather will and Kate step up to the plate anyway, that's for, for some time later to worry about let's hope the queen actually makes it through to February and our platinum anniversary of her reign.

2 (2m 2s):
She'll be there the longest, or she's just the least the longest serving Monarch ever. And I think if she can get to a platinum and beyond it will do the country a huge amount of good. Anyway, I'm going to cover a few topics today. I'm just going to have a quick look at what happened in Liverpool over the weekend. I would have remembrance weekend. Yesterday was the Sunday, the 14th of November, 2021. And in Liverpool just before the, the 11 o'clock silence, a car bomb went off outside and Liverpool's women's hospital.

2 (2m 50s):
It could have been a lot worse. The apparently the, the guy that was trying to get to it was a taxi and he's trying to get his taxi, take him into the city center to where the, the parades were taking place. Had it got there. It could've gone a lot, lot worse. Fortunately, it was having a bit of difficulty getting into the center. He got sent out to the hospital for some reason, and the driver leaped out, locked the guy in the car just seconds before I blow up. Now there's not a lot else we know about this at the moment, but I'm, I'm having a bet that it's probably something to do with possibly and their Regal migrant coming into the country.

2 (3m 42s):
I wouldn't, it may have been a homegrown. You don't know anyway, time will tell on that one. Anyway, let's, let's turn our attention to cop 26 and well, what an absolute waste of time that was, I come to this massive agreement that everybody's going to be the Chinese and the Indians all going to start phasing out, burning coal. Really do we really believe that when they've been building, particularly the Chinese had been building coal fire power stations for the last decade and they still bill in a hundred at the moment.

2 (4m 28s):
So I can't say that the Chinese given up that any time soon and on I've looked into this, this carbon neutral that they're talking about is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Now, when I was at school, you need carbon dioxide to feed plants and Florence do this photosynthesis that churns out oxygen oxygen is what we did to brief the way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is to plant more trees and plants that use the carbon dioxide.

2 (5m 18s):
I'll cover this before, but the, the, the volcanoes produce a lot more carbon dioxide in the air the man ever will. So, yeah, I don't understand what's going on. And if the world's going to end fairly shortly, why David another cop in 2027 in Egypt next year makes you wonder that anyway, let's, let's move up from cop cars. Yeah, I think that as a complete and utter waste of time, personally, and we 2,500 people rocking up in, into Glasgow on private jets and all the rest of it.

2 (6m 2s):
It's a lot of hypocrisy going on there. Anyway, let's turn our attention to government and the sleeves that assessed erupted over in Patterson and a few others that the let's say, aunt being the, the, the squeaky clean that they should be and, and a heck hypocrisy that's coming out of the labor party at the moment, really, really are they, are they saying that they are so squeaky clean, that, that beyond it let's have a look at their expenses, shall we let's just take Angela Rayna and a fiasco over her expenses claims last year and that little horrible bloke, the SMP leader in the house of commons.

2 (7m 2s):
And Blackford look at the amount that he actually claims and expenses is at least twice, almost three times. What are the urns as an MP? How can that possibly be justified? All right. So he's got a count down from, from Scotland, but does he really need to be our first class flight or first-class trains costing three times as much when he knows he's coming down and he can book them in advance, he could get the cheaper phase. Does he really, really need to take, to pay top money for his expenses?

2 (7m 51s):
It's yeah. There needs to be some sort of reform going on there. Absolutely. They need to be looking at ourselves and saying what they're doing, because there's one thing being an MP and gain an 81,000 pounds a year plus expenses. And if they're struggling at living on that, I understand the expenses also cover the employees and staff, the work for them. I get that. And that's fair. However, for some of the things that they're claiming rarely, and, and particularly when buying houses in London and then renting them out and stop in and hotels and still buy really, should they be doing that?

2 (8m 44s):
So I don't need a big shake up. The other thing that needs really, really reforming is the house of Lords. The house of Lords and moment is isn't really fit for purpose. There's far too many on the gravy train. It's almost as bad as the you for expenses and all the rest of it. They've only got a turn up for five minutes, sign in and walk out again, and they get free out upon a day for that plus the expenses to get there. Oversleep. Yeah, the house of Lords needs a serious area.

2 (9m 25s):
Shakeup. Somebody else caught my attention. Now day, the police in Hampshire up in, I think, was based in stoke investigating a hate crime. Somebody had deal Udacity to put up an 84 piece of paper on a lamp post that said, it's okay to be white. Clearly. It's not because that's apparently now a hate crime. Barely really is that actually a hate crime? It's okay to be white.

2 (10m 6s):
What is going on? Really? What is going on? I don't understand why this massive, massive attack on why people it's okay to have a black history month, but you mentioned, or let's have a white history month. Look at white people. What they've done for the world. That's racist. You can't have it. Yeah, really. It's okay to be by is a hate crime. It's an awful lot more. That's going on out there to worry about somebody putting a piece of paper up saying, it's okay to be white.

2 (10m 53s):
This is nice. Seriously needs a look at and to get some sort of real perspective on it, moving on, then let's have a look at immigration and it's again, our control. And I think everybody will look at this. And it's the single biggest issue that the country's facing at the moment. And the government just don't seem to be doing and think about it like blind, absolutely blind pushy Patel. He's going over to France and having another chat with the French this week about it. And you can almost guarantee what you're going to say.

2 (11m 36s):
Well, if we give you some more money, can you stop a few more? What do you ever date? 1,185 people came across and 30 free boats a one day last Thursday, and the French managed to stop 99 we'll pay. That's not enough the French, again, a huge amount of money and had a few amount of money to deal with this crisis over there. They've got the resources, they've got the funding to be able to go round and round up the games. That's don't it surely they, they, they can find a way of arresting these people instead of just standing and watching them.

2 (12m 30s):
They're just standing around, watching people get into boats. I don't know why they bother, what are they just pick them up, take them to the ferry. Port, put them on a ferry. It will save us an awful lot of time effort sending out border force and, and I to pick them up, just stick them on a bloody ferry, really starts to grip. Don't get me wrong on, on for legal immigration, on for asylum seekers. People that have actually got a right to come here and go through the correct process or don't have an issue with that at all.

2 (13m 18s):
In fact, I positively encourage it and I have done helping some friends out that are in absolute danger of losing their lives. But when it comes to illegal economic migrants coming across the channel in vast numbers, this has got to stop. We cannot sustain it. When you look at the, the immigration that's gone on in this country in the last 30 years, year on year, we've had net migration into this country of around about 300,000 people per year.

2 (14m 6s):
Over the last 30 years, that's an awful lot of people coming in and there's not as many going out. We have a housing crisis across the whole of the country. There aren't enough houses. They can't build houses quick enough in this country to be able to deal with this crisis. They need to change our law. They need to enable us to be able to round these people up. They're here illegally and return them to where they came from.

2 (14m 47s):
If they say that they're from, oh, I'm from Afghanistan. Prove it. And if you can't prove it send a traffic understan, but you could almost go and say a huge amount of these people are coming from Sub-Saharan Africa and you can't blame them. They, they just want a better life for each other. But I mean, you look at <inaudible> that used to be Rhodesia. That used to be the bread basket of Africa until magaldi took over, started killing off all the white farmers and whole place has gone to rack and ruin it's.

2 (15m 27s):
Now it's Tesla. They don't produce off of what it used to Was that dunno. But boy don't, these people try and better their own countries. Why don't they live up to, to the skillsets that we used to give them, take India. India is still working on if of English, when, when the British empire ruled India, it put in the train networks and it gave him new infrastructure.

2 (16m 12s):
It gave him a law cysts, and they're still working to that today. So we've given them a scale skillset. So India should be doing very well. And they're not doing too bad to be honest anyway enough on immigration for now, let's have a look at what needs to happen with the NHS. The NHS again is starting to buckle a star Creek under that pressure of, of all these COVID cases. And now we're getting into the flu season as well.

2 (16m 52s):
And I do, they, they say that they, the NHS is under so much pressure. Well, let's look at why it's under pressure. Some years ago, we had somewhere around 250,000 beds. We had a nursing system that run the AHS, the matron system. So we had a matron in charge of wards who was in charge of all the nurses on the wards, in charge of all the cleaners and all the house. And he used to run really, really efficiently.

2 (17m 35s):
And then it decides to bring in some of these managers and advisors. And now just recently, they've taken on, I think somewhere about half a dozen equality and diversity advisors, 270,000 pounds a year, really 270,000 pounds a year for somebody to be a diversity and equality advisor for the NHS after dozen of them, rarely do they actually need that.

2 (18m 18s):
It just beggars belief. And he goes across. There's a whole load of mineral managers that don't actually do anything. The aren't productive. If I was to take away that resource and bring back the matron system, to run the wards, to bring in house cleaners, et cetera, et cetera, it would transform very quickly and save a huge amount of money. That's the thing. It would save money and it will produce a better system.

2 (19m 0s):
The other thing they're not doing, which they should be doing is what other countries do. If you, as a British citizen, go to another country and you need some medical treatment, you have to have insurance for it and you have to pay for it. We don't do that in this country. We don't charge people to use the NHS to aren't entitled to use it. Why perhaps I could divert some of these managers to dealing with that, to be able to give them a pill.

2 (19m 40s):
I know ensured that I paid a bill. It needs some serious, serious reform. We've got a biggest waiting list anywhere in the world. Some somewhere around about 12 million people waiting for a procedure of some sort, 12 million on a waiting list. You don't get weighted lists anywhere else. So why are we suffering that particular problem? Why, why have we got such big waiting lists?

2 (20m 21s):
Just want to have a look now, a vaccine passports and vaccines. Now that make an awful lot a noise about vaccines. Elisa we'll look at what a vaccine does. It protects the individual from getting worse symptoms than they, if they were vaccinated, that's it, it doesn't protect other people. It protects the individual. So it's an individual's choice whether they get vaccinated or not.

2 (21m 8s):
So you've had two jabs. Now you've got to have a palatable to be able to go into places why it doesn't matter whether you've had the jab or whether you haven't had the jab. Apparently you can still catch it and you can still pass it on there's people that catch it. I know they've got it. Is it that bad? If I don't know they've got it. And they're passing it on really and ask for, for vaccinating kids, the they've proved that it doesn't help.

2 (21m 49s):
Kids. Kids are far better catching it and getting natural immunity from it. That's how they get properly protected. They don't get protected. Prevnar chap in fact is probably more dangerous for them to have the job, the not, But what's the point of a vaccine passport. Why do you need to prove that you've had the jab? If you can catch it and still pass it on, it's pointless. It's absolutely pointless.

2 (22m 31s):
And as for second order, these people, some 60,000 care workers that work in care homes, because food for their own reasons, they've not had the job. What senses in that? Because there are no greater risk than somebody that has been vaccinated to taking COVID into a care home. Just doesn't doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And now they're going to sack.

2 (23m 13s):
I don't know how many millions of NHS workers come the 1st of April. No, haven't had the job. It's pointless. It's absolutely pointless. If you've been doubled vaccinated, boosted, treble, vaccinated at your flu jab, but you can still get it and pass it on the vaccines, help the individual having less symptoms. What's the point of having a vaccine in the first place, if they're still going to restrict your lives.

2 (24m 4s):
So what are we going to do? And when they're talking about having, you got to be tested every second at a day, Y if you, if you aren't suffering any symptoms, why do you need to have a test? What's the point in testing people that haven't got any symptoms. Oh, but he more avid and they don't know they got it really. Come on, let's get serious. Let's stop all this fast. We all know what's at the bottom of this. All it's all to do with big pharma, making lots of money.

2 (24m 50s):
That's the bottom line. Look at all the money that's been spent on PPE. Oh, wear a mask. Really mast masks that I really work well, do they actually do come on what the mass actually do, unless you are a full air-blown PPA, the fabric ones that you get a complete and utter waste of time, other than virtue signaling, that's all they do. They virtual signal because they don't stop the virus.

2 (25m 31s):
They don't stop an airborne virus today. Also, especially if you have a week, she's fit, we're cold. What do I get? I'll get a cold. I didn't stop it in it where we muscles did stop it. So it doesn't stop airborne viruses. And she was wearing a surgical mask. And I got a cold, which is going to cover one more point Afghanistan and what you're not seeing in the news at the moment, it's not happening in the news. So it's not happening. However, what is happening is that over the last few weeks have had several reports coming out of Afghanistan from pipeline.

2 (26m 17s):
No, there of what's actually going on. There was a wedding up in Navajo province, which is today sort of east of Kabul. The Taliban went in and they killed 22 people at a wedding wedding. I've gone in and I've killed 22 people, a wedding that's I was covered in the news, not a bit of it. They also went into a market in her rat and they hung four people.

2 (26m 59s):
They hung four blokes for allegedly, allegedly bind, stealing this. This is what's going on in Afghanistan. So who else you're not seeing is what they're doing to women and girls in Afghanistan at the moment. They're not allowing them to do anything. Yes. You see a little bit of, yes. They, they, they will be able to go to school soon. We haven't gotten the situation quite sorted out yet. This is what's coming from the Taliban.

2 (27m 42s):
The reality is that women and girls are not allowed to go to school and they're not allowed to go back out to work. This is what the reality of the Taliban is. They're all saying that. Yeah. The Taliban two is, is a different beast from the Taliban. Oh one from 20 years ago. Believe me, it's not, they have not changed their attitude and behavior to women and to people in general, in Afghanistan and the international community.

2 (28m 25s):
Isn't helping the situation by cutting off all the funding gone into Afghanistan. And all they're doing is making the situation a lot, lot worse. Funny average Afghans in the country. Now forcing a country into poverty. It was bad enough before, but it's even worse now. And you're not seeing this on the international media. They've turned their backs on Afghanistan. Again, the Taliban, again, a pretty hard time from ISIS K at the moment, just on Friday, there was another bomb.

2 (29m 13s):
Another mosque, Friday praise. <inaudible> still actively attacking the Taliban. So the Taliban, Colorado, no, what we've gone through for the last 20 years with them attacking us. And now they're getting attacked because they are trying to run the government and they're not running it particularly well at all at the moment. However, they all been attacked on a daily, weekly basis. There's been an attack every single Friday since they've taken in.

2 (29m 54s):
Since I take a power, basically. So Afghanistan is again, fall into the hands of terrorists and what's the international community doing about it. Absolutely nothing. The square root and NAFO, this is going to come back and bite us again. Mark. My words, Afghanistan will be another disaster for us. Anyway. Hopefully that's given you food for, for, and to go and seek out.
