Peter Hitchens strongly criticizes the UK Supreme Court, deeming its existence an affront to parliamentary supremacy. He views recent decisions, such as the one related to transgender rights, as victories for one faction of the Left over another, not a genuine triumph of justice. He advocates for the court's abolition to prevent its growing power from undermining democracy.
Hitchens raises serious concerns about the fairness of Lucy Letby's trial. He highlights an email from Dr. Ravi Jayaram that seemingly contradicts his court testimony, potentially undermining the prosecution's case and the conviction itself. He questions whether the Appeal Court judges were aware of this email, suggesting a potential miscarriage of justice.
Hitchens contrasts the present with a romanticized past, using the 1959 film adaptation of "The 39 Steps" as a lens. He observes politeness, kinder humor, and a more flexible bureaucracy in the past, contrasting it with contemporary Britain.
He criticizes the BBC's coverage of the Ukraine war, accusing it of bias by highlighting civilian casualties caused by Russian bombing while downplaying similar incidents involving Ukrainian forces.
