Hitchens argues that Britain's reliance on foreign steel, particularly from European countries, demonstrates the nation's weakness. He attributes this to the embrace of globalism and climate change policies, which hinder domestic steel production dependent on coal. He contrasts this with China's thriving steel industry fueled by coal.
He criticizes Britain's involvement in the Ukraine conflict, viewing it as a costly and unproductive proxy war between the USA and Russia, lacking any clear national interest for Britain. He questions the actions of Prince Harry and King Charles in supporting the conflict, contrasting it with the lack of action to address the nation's internal vulnerabilities.
Hitchens expresses concerns over the communication strategy employed by Cheshire Police during the Lucy Letby investigation, questioning the apparent emphasis on media management and stakeholder engagement over impartial justice and the rights of the victims' families.
