Right Now - New Year's Eve Special
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This week on Right Now, we have a New Year's Eve special after what's probably been one of the most insane 12 months in living memory.
we felt that it would be a good idea to look back over 2021 and share with you what we felt were some of our most
important conversations.
♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ Hello and welcome to Right Now.
Here we are, New Year's Eve on what was possibly one of the craziest years ever.
So we thought we'd take a look back through 2021 and share what we feel were some of our most important conversations.
Conversations we feel sum up what so many around the world are thinking.
Conversations about awakening, courage and strength.
First up, we're going to look back to people from the world of showbiz that stuck their heads up over the parapet to speak out against the official version of everything.
In the shallow world of celebrity, it's been hard to find many with fortitude.
However, pop stars Right Said Fred, celebrity chef Tonya Buxton, reality TV star Leilani and ex-BBC television presenter Sue Cook all risked careers and reputations to stay true to themselves and question what was going on.
It's a combination of what I thought was years and years and years of state intervention in your private sphere.
When I saw Matt Hancock crying on the TV when the first vaccine went out, I just thought, this is just...
I'm just trying to imagine Churchill bursting into tears in the bunker.
Or Peter Shaw. Peter Shaw, you know.
These people are a joke.
They're not fit to govern this country.
So, for me, it's been a long journey where we have...
Deferred all responsibility for our own lives and our own safety and health to the state.
I don't think that's a good thing.
From our perspective with the music industry, what I find very difficult with, even with close friends who are musicians, is they are aiding and abetting the destruction of their own industry.
By complying. I don't think they understand it.
It kind of does my brain in.
And as you said, you know, there were people speaking out and then suddenly obviously a word was had in their ear.
And that's why in the mid-90s we went completely independent because we don't like people speaking in our ear.
We like to do what we want to do, which financially wasn't the smartest move we've ever made.
It has to be said.
But in terms of just us pleasing ourselves, releasing the records we want to release, mouthing off when we want to mouth off.
I mean, we have had people, even people, even now, though we're not actually affiliated to anybody, we have had emails and people telling us to shut up, although it is actually none of their business.
And it's not just musicians, it's performers of any kind, whether you're theatre, dancers, whatever.
If your theatre is dark because of this, if you are not working because of this, Then you need to get out.
It's feet on the street.
And there's no excuse.
There's absolutely no excuse for standing up and saying what you think.
Exercise is the most obvious, which is, you know, the irony is, you know, they're doing it for our health, allegedly.
And they close the gyms but leave fast food outlets open, you know.
And we used to manage a gym.
They always spot this.
It's a healthy environment.
So machines will wipe down and we regularly hoovered and cleaned.
You know, I don't know anyone who's ever become ill from going to a gym.
Try and also withdraw yourself.
If going out shopping is depressing because you're seeing all these people walking around in masks or whatever it happens to be, if you're finding the whole thing difficult to handle, Then withdraw.
Stay indoors or go for a walk.
And also some of these things are so profoundly distressing.
If you're losing your business, if you're finding it hard to feed your family, you know, I don't want to sound, you know, it's glib to say get some exercise, to put it right.
But there are simple techniques if you're having a particularly bad day.
There are simple techniques that you can do to try and alleviate being fed up and distressed, each to their own, but certainly You know, avoiding the negative triggers, staying away from these nutters in their masks outside.
And I know it sounds unkind, call them nutters, but I think 15 months after this has started, if you're still wearing a mask outside, you are possibly a bit of a nutter.
You know, we're lucky in as much as we can write songs, and that helps to take us away.
We're in the studio yesterday, and that's a very mask-free atmosphere.
You know, we can just get on and work.
But sometimes it is, when you have a really bad day, you just have to let it pass.
It will, sometimes it just passes.
We've been on, as you said, we've been on, probably not as many as you, but we've been on a lot of these sort of protests.
And the police last time were fine.
The atmosphere between everybody was really good.
Lots of literature being handed out.
Big groups of people coming from, in coaches from all over the country.
And I totally agree with you. I think that it's, yeah, I see online all the time, but what does that achieve?
What it achieves is people getting together who are like-minded.
That is a very, very powerful process.
For me, I've been going to all the protests and, you know, it's where my heart soars because a lot of the time I feel like I'm some alien nation where nobody understands what's going on and we're just being fed this disinformation by the mainstream media.
So to go to a protest like that and see completely normal people like me, I mean, I know the mainstream media want to paint it as anti-vaxxers and loonies and whatever they want to do, but mainly for me it's people who have got families It's insane.
I mean, and that's the smear campaign, isn't it?
Because it is a smear campaign.
Just like we've had a massive propaganda campaign of fear against us, the British people, and actually globally, but I think in Britain it's been a really Intense propaganda of fear.
I really hope that people are really starting to wake up and understand what's going on and join us because it's the only way that we're going to get out of this if people stand up and join us and understand that we're peaceful but we want the best for everyone.
Something just smelt off to me very very early on and so I have been kind of going mad I think three weeks in it hit me that this is not right.
I was one of these deluded people.
I was a TV cook. I was a chef.
I was, you know, I had a lovely little kind of semi-celebrity life.
I'd go to events all week and then I'd cook for something and I'd consult for some restaurants.
And I thought the government were good people.
That's why they wanted to rule.
They wanted to help people and put us all in a good place.
I was in a really beautiful naive bubble.
So it got burst and it was hard.
It was hard. It was like losing faith almost.
So it's been a real reawakening for me.
And now I do not believe a single word that comes out of any politician's mouth.
I've lost all hope with them.
I mean, I have absolutely no doubt they were shelved because of my lockdown stance and off the record.
My manager was told if I just tone down my voice on Twitter, you know, I'd probably get more work.
And so I made a decision very, very early on that I wasn't going to be ruled by that.
If we change the mind of just one person, we get them to understand that it stops when we make it stop, when we start standing up for our rights, our children, our businesses.
That's when it will stop. And everybody does need to stand up and just do this.
And I hope that this might convince just one person and I'll be happy.
Oh, I can't believe it.
I mean, I can't fathom it.
You know, when you kind of, it really does feel like I'm living in a horror movie because I just wouldn't believe they'd do it.
And then when the JVCI said, no, they didn't recommend it, it was like a big phew, you know, sense has prevailed.
They are putting children first.
They're not I don't know what to think about them anymore.
I just don't understand what's going on.
They did not give a damn, not a damn about my child's mental health when they shut the schools, when they shut the playgrounds.
But now they give a damn about their mental health, so they want to jab them with something that they don't need and could do them quite a lot of damage.
I don't understand what's going on.
A lot of my hope in humanity.
I've had to readjust the people that I call friends because I don't understand how everyone isn't up in arms about this or how easily the public have been brainwashed.
I think that's the thing that is most What freaks me out most of all is how easily the public have been brainwashed.
The media is in completely the pockets of the government because what happened over lockdown, I don't know whether it was all strategicised and decided that that's what they were going to do from the beginning.
As soon as lockdown happened, the media became the main buyers of advertising.
Radio, television, newspapers.
So they were completely in the pocket of the government.
It's nothing to do with health.
It has to be something else.
There's something else that worries me as well.
They don't seem to worry that we've got collateral damage of our kids.
That's the thing that gets to me.
They don't mind that our children might be collateral damage.
And then I didn't know anybody that was dying of it.
I knew people that were getting better, but I wasn't noticing that pattern in the media.
So I'm always very skeptical of the media anyway and I feel like they always want to push fear or something that's going to give an argument.
I think that was a turning point.
I was just like, you know what? People aren't dropping dead in the street like it's showing in China.
And they're really only focusing on the negative.
And to me, I draw a lot on the experience I had doing a reality show where the one thing that they would love It's for you to split the audience.
That was the one thing. It's called splitting the audience.
You want people arguing on both sides.
And I've noticed that the news does that a lot.
It's almost like the news is playing out like a reality show, like everything's happening, but they're never focusing on anything good.
They're focusing on what's going to cause an argument, what's going to split the audience, what's going to Get people to turn off their TVs and carry this debate on at home, fighting with their friends, their family and causing more drama that are going to make more people tune in tomorrow.
So that's what I've noticed and that's why I don't trust the TV. I remember the very first rally I went to, I spoke and I said, we just don't want no mandatory vaccines, no mandatory face masks, no mandatory lockdowns, meaning do Wear one if you want to wear one.
Get Vax if you want to get Vax.
Stay home if you want to stay home.
But don't make it so that we all do.
And so for me, I always call it a rally now because it's a freedom rally because it's getting people together.
Who all just want personal freedom and freedom of choice and I think it's a great movement and people will say look you know you've been doing it for so however long and it's not making a difference but I think it is.
Oh it is, 100% it is.
There's a lot of people that message me on my Instagram and say you know I'm a bit worried that I don't know anyone who wants to go or should I go alone and I always say go alone because it is a rally of people who want the same things and you're going to make new friends You're going to network, you're going to get together and you're going to see how many people there are who think like us, who just want to be left alone from the government, live our lives and make the choices we want to make.
And I always get, I just have such a great feeling whenever I go to them, it just, I come away buzzing for days because I'm like, there are so many of us!
But the thing is, I think with you and I, is that we knew that this was coming, so it's not a surprise to us, it's not a surprise that they brought more lockdowns in, and it's not going to be a surprise to either of us when they lock down again, you know, kind of autumn, winter.
So I always say to people, the thing is now, prepare for that.
But the fact that they've got to spend all this money on marketing and putting the fear of Fear of everything into you just says to me what a joke it is really.
Exactly. This whole thing.
And I just think, you know, plan now for if and when it happens again and go to these rallies and meet your friends.
And like you said, the stands in the park thing is great.
And then you have the mums in Northwich who had their own sports day.
That's great. That's brilliant.
And this is the whole thing. Build your communities, you know.
Meet teachers, meet like-minded parents who, even if schools close down again, you put your kids all together and, you know, you can have them taught and looked after and, you know, it's not just you and the pressure on you all the time.
Oh, it's so frustrating when people say, but that's the rules, you have to follow them, they're there for this.
No, always question the rules.
Always, yeah. Always question.
They're dismissing nutrients that we're deficient in, like vitamin D, being in a cloudy country.
They're dismissing all of things that can help you.
Then they're closing gyms.
And all the things that are actually good for you, fresh air, they only go out your house for an hour a day, but...
What about fresh air?
Fresh air and being out in nature, it's really important to your well-being.
The sun's important to your well-being.
All these things that make you a well person, they're kind of like trying to pull away from you.
So to me as well, that was a huge red flag at the start.
Absolutely. I got fact-checked by Instagram for promoting Vitamin D. Yes, so did I. It's just madness.
It's weird, isn't it?
It is very strange times we're living in.
If somebody had told me, you know, 18 months ago that this would be where we were going and this was all going to happen and we'd all be locked down for three weeks to flatten the curve and then another three months and then another six months and then another six months and I wouldn't have believed it.
I really wouldn't. And all being governed by scientists and the politicians not having any idea really what they're doing at all.
The whole motivation has been to make us compliant and to frighten us as much as possible.
It would have been quite good to have some behaviourists who also said, actually, how are you going to unpick everything?
How are you going to undo this fear?
Scared the bejesus out of everybody.
How are you going to roll back on that?
Because once you have scared people, it's very, very difficult to unscare them.
And I don't think they've thought that one through.
And I hate the fact that we all think of each other as killing machines now.
You're walking to Tesco's or something and you're not just an ordinary person going shopping.
You're somebody who might murder me.
You know, you might have some ghastly lurgy and everybody's kind of shit.
Edging round you and it's a horrible feeling.
And then I saw another little girl, a younger girl, was running past me and she again just glanced up at my masked face and sort of cringed.
And I just think it's awful for young children to be scared of adults like that, really.
It's really terrible. Children are like little sponges.
They learn so much.
They observe. I've got a three-year-old grandson and he picks up every single signal.
He imitates everything. I can see him soaking everything up.
And if they're just seeing people in masks, they're not getting any feedback at all on what people are thinking.
I think they'd achieve more if the mainstream media gave them a bit more publicity.
We don't see it.
I've noticed that the BBC and Sky and ITV and Channel 4, they don't show the protests, do they?
Neither have they showed the ones in France.
There have been some amazing protests in France, but we haven't seen those over here either, have we?
I hope they will. What worries me is that the Coronavirus Act doesn't end now.
The extension was till the end of September.
And I worry that that would just be when there's some kind of spike in some variant or other and they'll use it as an excuse to extend it for another three months or six months rather.
So that'll be March next year when there's no democracy, no discussion of things, rules and laws are just passed Without any say-so at all, like the vaccine passports, no debates, no debates on the media and no debates in parliament as far as we can see.
This whole thing is going to blend seamlessly into climate change.
So we're all going to be monitored very carefully on what we do as far as Covid is concerned and then We'll be monitored into how we're saving energy and what we're driving and what electricity we're using and all that sort of thing.
And being observed like this closely, I think, is a real worry.
And why are so many people testing positive?
That's what I don't really understand.
I know the tests aren't reliable, but the lateral flow ones I thought were a little bit more reliable.
But why are so many people testing positive when they're not ill?
And why are so many people who have had the vaccine Testing positive.
Is it because the test is picking up fragments of the virus in your system and registering those?
And if so, why isn't anybody informing us of that?
Next, we've got a selection of guests that were so appalled at the events of this year and what it was doing to their lives that they quit their jobs.
Pilot Graham Hood, BBC presenter Gemma Cooper, nurse Carly Lou Mansfield and ice hockey player Niall McAvoy all walked away from careers they loved.
Yesterday was a pretty tough day, Gareth, because I resigned in protest of the mandate.
And it was a pretty tough day.
So, you know, today's much better, but my wife and I shed a few tears yesterday.
It was very hard to send the letter off.
There's quite a few guys who are committed to waiting to get the proper information before they proceed any further.
And a lot of them are feeling very rushed.
They're concerned. I made efforts to get the information I required to make an informed consent, and I just couldn't find the information that I could trust.
They couldn't tell me what was in the vaccine.
They couldn't tell me what the short-term ramifications were because they're still being correlated.
And when I asked for the long-term ramifications, they couldn't tell me.
So how can anyone make an informed consent when there's no information to be part of that informed consent?
Even a lot of guys who have had the vaccine are joining forces with guys who haven't because they don't believe in the mandate.
They think the mandate is wrong.
I've got to be honest, yeah, I was stressed and it was a bit of a rant and there's some stuff going on with government in Australia.
And collusion with government and corporation.
Our constitution, which is designed to protect the people, is absolutely being crushed underfoot.
At the end of the day, the passion is around what we're being forced to do.
As far as courage, you know, there comes a time in every man's life, Gareth, where you have to stand in the shadow of your own conscience.
And if you can't do that, then personally for me, I can't look at myself in the mirror.
But I cannot I cannot in all good conscience let the legacy of our war dead be trampled on because we just threw it away.
And, you know, we've got politicians over here talking about we're going to come and get the unvaxxed and we're going to corral them in a ring of steel.
Now, I'm sorry, that's just not going to happen in Australia.
That can't be allowed to happen because we We've fought in wars to protect ourselves from these situations.
We cannot let that happen.
And so, you know, everybody needs to take a big chill pill.
Everyone needs to have a cold shower, sit down and think about what's happening, what they're giving away, and for what.
So that's the big thing, and I'm driven by that.
The guys who've got mortgages, they're just starting their careers, they're frightened.
They're frightened that they're being rushed into a decision, which pilots just don't do, Gareth.
We don't allow ourselves to be rushed into decisions.
And so what do I suggest to these guys?
There's safety in numbers and you need to get together.
You need to look after your mental health.
Your welfare, you're feeling under attack, a lot of them are.
There's enough pressure with what's going on now in community circles and in the country without adding this pressure at work.
So these guys need to band together.
They need to seek representation and there's plenty of it out there.
They need to know that they're not alone and most of them are feeling alone and I know of many groups that are forming.
They're Zooming, they're talking together, they're sharing experiences and they're organising themselves and that's what they need to do.
I took a very big step in resigning.
I'm not in a financial position As a result of several bad choices I made earlier in my life to retire now, I needed another two years.
But I'll be okay. I'll get to.
We're growing fruit and veggies and we've got chooks and we're happy and we'll make do.
That's not the problem. I resigned to give these guys a voice and that's what I'm dedicated to do.
I'm dedicated to give them a voice for choice.
But personally, I'd had a bit of a conscious awakening whilst I was working at the BBC. I've been there 21 years.
In 2010-11, I had a conscious awakening.
I was doing a lot of yoga and meditation, and it led me to believe there's a lot more to life than meets the eye.
I thought, hang on a minute.
I've been hearing about this for years on the alternative scene, always thinking it was a little bit far-fetched, always thinking, I think these people need to get out more.
I was going to the alternative scene because I was interested in consciousness and the nature of reality.
That was my conscious awakening.
All the other stuff about mandatory vaccinations, Agenda 21, Agenda 30, I've been hearing about it and hearing about it and thinking, well, I'm not in my lifetime, that sounds a bit far-fetched.
And then, of course, it started happening, and I thought, hang on a minute, I've been hearing about this, and these people are talking about this at these rallies, as well as being professional voices against the narrative.
I've got a really deep personal interest in this because if these books and DVDs on my bookshelf are right, we're in serious trouble.
And somebody said to me, Do you still work for the BBC? And at that point I did.
And I made a joke and I said, yeah, I still work for the devil.
And I thought I was among like-minded people and it was all going to be taken quite lightheartedly.
But somebody thought it was a good, easy way of maybe making a bit of money selling a story to the paper.
And from that one comment, that joke, Although, is it a joke?
The BBC does have a bit of a dark energy around it, I think.
From that, started a whole sequence of events which led me to leaving the BBC. What I did get a bit mad about is there were several other people in my office who'd gone to the big Black Lives Matter rally in Bristol.
Right. And that was overlooked.
Of course. And when my managers hauled me in for going to a protest, because everything's filmed nowadays, you know, I was being very naive if I thought I wasn't going to get spotted.
So they hauled me in and said, you've been spotted on these protests.
That's breach of guidelines.
And I said, well, hang on a minute. Several members of our newsroom went to Black Lives Matter.
And one of my managers said to me, and this was the point where I thought I need to leave the BBC, they said, that's different, Gemma.
That's anti-racist.
You're anti-lockdown. And at that point, I decided to leave the BBC. And I was working my notice.
I was quite happy to go quietly because I'd had a conscious awakening.
I was finding the mainstream media an increasingly difficult place to navigate.
And once you have a conscious awakening, it's very difficult to explain that process to someone who hasn't Had it.
It's a bit like childbirth. But once you have a conscious awakening and you see the world differently, everything changes.
Yeah, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
You can't. You can't. So I was trying to tread a very mainstream life on the outside, whereas on the inside I was changing, I was growing, I was developing.
My soul, my heart, my consciousness was coming more to the fore.
My ego was going down.
So the mainstream media is a very difficult place to be if you're a conscious person.
I was getting ready to go quietly.
I thought I had a good career.
I was good at my job. I've got nothing to prove.
If I stay and try and Plot this narrative.
It's not going to work out for me.
Everybody's in fear. And I wasn't in fear.
So I decided to leave.
And at that point, my BBC colleagues, I don't know who they are and why they did this, but they obviously thought, well, we don't want her to go quietly.
She's in the wrong. We're going to make her pay.
So they went to the tabloid press and they sold the story that I'd gone to the rallies.
Made me out to be a crazy person, not very nice.
Put a lot of other things in there for good measure.
And my reputation was duly tarnished and ruined, really, you could argue, or they were trying to ruin it, for having a different opinion.
That's extraordinary, isn't it?
Yeah, that's what happens. It was so shocking to see that people felt so strongly about what I'd done within my own office.
They didn't have the courage to front me up and say, Koops, what are you doing going to these things?
Why are you doing it? And I would have sat down and said, this is why I'm doing it, however crazy it sounds.
I've got books on my bookshelf about this.
This is why I'm doing it. No, the logical thing to those people, and I don't blame them for it.
They probably thought they were doing a public service by selling those stories to the press.
But, you know, they just didn't want to talk to me properly.
They wanted to ruin me.
And that was a shot that took me a long time to take over.
That is dark, actually, yeah.
So, it's been a crazy 12 months and I know many people have struggled at times, including us and of course our guests.
We're all human and when we're faced with inhumanity, it doesn't sit right with us.
And that can manifest itself in many ways.
Maybe you've felt helpless, lost or more emotional.
Perhaps you've tucked in to a few more drinks than normal or found yourself snappy and irritable.
But imagine the opposite. Imagine being okay with what's happening to the point where you're Apathetic to it.
Sure, that would be easier, but what kind of person would you be?
With great knowledge comes great responsibility.
The British government wanted to take away Christmas?
Nope. The British government wanted to take away your New Years?
Nope. The only reason they haven't tried is because they know you wouldn't comply.
And that would send a message to the rest of the world about the way the real power dynamic works.
Government should fear the people, not the reverse.
Once the control over one major nation, like England, collapses, that will send shockwaves across the world and others will follow suit.
It's already beginning.
We're seeing many mainstream media bubbleheads starting to question the narrative now, desperately scrambling to be on the right side of history.
And while anyone questioning the narrative can only be a good thing, we shouldn't ignore the motives behind their public questioning.
It will be entirely self-serving.
The rats that have kept the ship afloat for nearly two years are now suddenly realising there's a leak and it can't be sealed.
That leak is a result of you.
You stood steadfast in the face of relentless barrage propaganda and coercion.
And I'm proud to stand with every single one of you.
It's been an honour to have been able to talk to you every Friday.
Being a presenter was certainly not something I ever considered myself doing, or my brother for that matter.
But we seem to be naturals, eh?
Right Give us an update on the
Words Jamie To show a negative...
No. I thought I was doing alright till then.
Councillor Alex George will be telling us about the millennials.
I don't know why I'm doing that with my thumbs.
Why am I doing that? I don't know how to be.
F***ing hell. F***ing useless.
Kennedy, you might as well just do it.
The lads from... Hello, one, two, three.
My name's Jamie. I had a special K for breakfast and it was exceptional.
Very underrated cereal, I think.
It's their issue. The issue right now, America's your arse gone.
Yeah? I can't read!
I haven't got a scooby.
To the uxper- Aaaaah!
Friday UK! Aaaaah you b****!
Heyyyy! Huh?
What are you doing? Come join me on this camera.
Keep all this, it's brilliant.
Happy New Year. Let the resistance grow and let it be unrelenting.
