RUSSELL BRAND GUILTY! AFTER SAVILE, HOW DID THEY LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN?

#RussellBrand #RussellBrandGuilty #JimmySavile #TheyKnew #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #RussellBrandTrial #BBC #BBCScandal #CelebrityScandals

JIMMY SAVILE. ROLF HARRIS. STUART HALL. NOW RUSSELL BRAND. HOW MANY MORE?

After Jimmy Savile, I genuinely believed we would never see another scandal like this. We were promised lessons had been learned. The BBC, television executives and the entire entertainment establishment told us things would change.

WELL, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

Russell Brand has now been convicted of rape and three sexual assaults. Yet for years his outrageous sexual behaviour was celebrated, rewarded and turned into entertainment. He was even crowned SHAGGER OF THE YEAR THREE TIMES! He became a television star, a radio personality, a Hollywood actor and a multimillion-pound celebrity brand. But who knew what was really going on behind the scenes? Who heard complaints? Who looked away? And who was making too much money to ask difficult questions?

I'm sick of the entertainment establishment pretending to be shocked every time another celebrity falls from grace. And now there are questions surrounding another household name whose identity cannot currently be reported. How do we balance the public's right to know with the rights of someone who has not been convicted? HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE HEAR THE WORDS 'WE DIDN'T KNOW'?

Tonight on Jon Gaunt TV, I want to know whether the entertainment industry has really learned anything from Savile. Join the debate. Have your say. Subscribe to Jon Gaunt TV.

I'M NOT LEAVING BRITAIN — MY COUNTRY HAS LEFT ME!

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #65SkintAndFree #MyCountryHasLeftMe #LeavingBritain #Reparations #Commonwealth #PMQs #LouiseHaigh #AndyBurnham #UKPolitics

A convicted fraudster answering Prime Minister's Questions. The actual PM in the Caribbean being lectured by our former colonies demanding reparations. You couldn't bloody make it up. What a humiliation. And where's the backbone?

Where's the Prime Minister prepared to say: British taxpayers are NOT paying for things they had absolutely nothing to do with? We're taxed to the hilt. People are frightened to put the heating on. Yet we're expected to sit quietly while demands come in for another handout. Reparations? How about repairing THIS country first?

And people still ask: "Why are you leaving Britain, Jon?" Have you been watching? Can you honestly look at this circus and wonder why I've had enough? Standards in public life? Apparently a fraud conviction doesn't stop you speaking for the government at PMQs.

But you try making a mistake on a form and see how understanding the authorities are with YOU. I'm 65. I'm skint. And I'm buggered if I'm spending the rest of my life shouting at the television while this lot take us for mugs. I've worked here. Paid my taxes here. Raised my family here. I love this country. That's why watching what's happening to it makes me so bloody angry. Now I want a bit of life while I've still got the health and freedom to enjoy it. So yes, I'm packing my bags. But don't ask me why I'm abandoning my country. Ask why the people running it have abandoned people like me. I'M NOT LEAVING MY COUNTRY. MY COUNTRY HAS LEFT ME!

SEVEN DAYS TO GO! I'M 65, I'M SKINT AND I'M STARTING TO GET BLOODY NERVOUS!

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #7DaysToGo #LeavingBritain #Thailand #Bangkok #SoloTravel #SeniorTravel #Over60Travel

In just one week I'll be boarding the slow plane to China on my way to Thailand. A 35-hour journey, a ONE-WAY ticket and absolutely no idea where this adventure will eventually take me! And I'll admit something. I'M EXCITED BUT I'M ALSO SCARED!

The response to my first 65, SKINT & FREE video has been extraordinary. So many of you have encouraged me, wished me luck and told me you wish you had the courage to do the same. But there's been another reaction too. The snide remarks, the negativity and the endless comments about ladyboys and sex tourism. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE?!

I'm going to Thailand to explore a beautiful country, meet ordinary people, experience a different culture and perhaps discover a new way of living. Why do some people immediately reduce an entire nation to cheap sexual stereotypes? Would we want Britain judged by the disgusting crimes of British paedophile Gary Glitter? Of course not! And here's another question. ARE SOME PEOPLE JEALOUS? Are they genuinely worried about a skint 65-year-old travelling the world, or do they secretly wish they had the balls to pack a bag, buy a one-way ticket and escape Britain themselves?

I'm not pretending this is going to be easy. I'm 65. Money is tight. I'm travelling on a shoestring. There will be mistakes, lonely moments, uncomfortable journeys and probably times when I'll wonder what the bloody hell I've done! But surely that's what an adventure is about? My kids are grown up. I've had the career, the expensive holidays and the good life. I've also experienced rock bottom. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WONDERING WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN!

Thailand first. Then Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, India or perhaps Australia. Who knows? I've got my iPhone, microphone, Mac and YouTube channel. HAVE YOUTUBE, CAN TRAVEL! And thanks again to the generous viewer who paid for my flight. Your support means more than you know. I'll continue my political shows while travelling, alongside honest vlogs about the highs and lows of this extraordinary adventure.

If you enjoy the journey, please help keep Gaunty on the road through YouTube Super Thanks, memberships or my Buy Me a Coffee page. Or simply subscribe, watch and share! 65, SKINT & FREE — BLOGGING FOR BRITAIN!

Now tell me: AM I BRAVE OR BLOODY MAD? ARE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS JEALOUSY OR GENUINE CONCERN? AND WOULD YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO LEAVE BRITAIN AND START AGAIN AT 65? Join the debate on JON GAUNT TV!

65, SKINT & FREE – I LEAVE UK IN 10 DAYS!

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #65SkintAndFree #BloggingForBritain #Thailand #Bangkok #BudgetTravel #SeniorTravel

I'M 65. I'M SKINT. I'M STONEY BLOODY BROKE. AND IN TEN DAYS I'M GETTING THE HELL OUT OF BRITAIN! I've finally done it! I've booked a ONE-WAY ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, via China. And because I'm skint, I've chosen the cheapest flight I could find. It's going to take me 35 BLOODY HOURS to get there! I'm calling it the SLOW PLANE TO CHINA!

But here's the incredible part. ONE OF MY VIEWERS HAS GENEROUSLY PAID FOR MY FLIGHT! How bloody brilliant is that?! I'm genuinely touched by that generosity. Someone who watches my videos has helped turn this mad dream into reality. And I can't thank them enough. And do you know something? I'm looking forward to this trip more than many of the expensive luxury holidays I've enjoyed in the past. Because this isn't a holiday. IT'S AN ESCAPE. AN ADVENTURE. AND MAYBE A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY! And after that Budget, I'm more convinced than ever that I'm making the right decision.

What was in it for ordinary people like you and me? BUGGER ALL! A great big NOTHING SANDWICH!

In my opinion, Britain is heading for disaster, and I want to be out of here before the whole bloody country hits the buffers! I'm 65. My kids are grown up. I've worked all my life, enjoyed the good times and experienced the bad. I've had the fancy holidays and nice hotels. I've also been at rock bottom. Now I want one more great adventure.

I've got an iPhone, a microphone, my Mac and a YouTube channel. HAVE YOUTUBE, CAN TRAVEL!

Thailand is my first stop. Within a couple of weeks I'll be visiting the Bridge over the River Kwai to reflect on the terrible suffering and sacrifice of the Allied prisoners of war forced to build the infamous Death Railway. Men who suffered and died in appalling conditions. A visit that will mean a great deal to me. And then? Cambodia? Vietnam? Laos? India? Australia? I HAVEN'T GOT A BLOODY CLUE!

I've got a mate offering me somewhere to stay in Thailand. There's the possibility of a sofa in Australia. And I absolutely adore India. But I've only bought a ONE-WAY ticket. NO RETURN DATE. NO FIXED ITINERARY. NO CONFIRMED FINAL DESTINATION.

Am I just a moaning old gammon stuck in my ways? Is Britain really as bad as I think? Or do I need to change my outlook on life? Can a skint 65-year-old travel around the world with just a phone, a microphone and a YouTube channel? I'm going to find out! I'll vlog the lot. The cheap rooms, the buses, the trains, the fascinating people, the disasters, the laughter and hopefully some unforgettable experiences.

And I'll still be broadcasting my political opinions and doing live shows along the way. JON GAUNT LIVE IS GOING GLOBAL! If you enjoy the adventure and want to help keep this old git on the road, you can support me through YouTube or Buy Me a Coffee. But you don't have to give me a penny. Watching, subscribing, sharing and commenting all help. And thanks again to the incredibly generous viewer who has already paid for my flight. You've given this adventure a fantastic start.

THIS ISN'T JUST A TRAVEL VLOG. IT'S A JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN! Maybe I'll find somewhere better to live. Maybe I'll find a better version of myself. Or maybe I'll realise I've made the biggest bloody mistake of my life! Either way, you'll see it all.

65, SKINT & FREE — BLOGGING FOR BRITAIN! AM I MAD? WOULD YOU DO IT? AND WHERE SHOULD I GO AFTER THAILAND? JOIN ME LIVE AT 6PM AND COME ON THE ADVENTURE!

DOES DEMOCRACY STILL EXIST IN BRITAIN?

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #BritishDemocracy #UKPolitics #AndyBurnham #Gogglebox #Brexit #PoliticalSpin #Labour #NigelFarage #ReformUK

Are we citizens with a say—or just an audience being fed spin, smoke and mirrors? British politics has become a crude television production that makes The Truman Show look like amateur dramatics.

Every poll gets twisted into a triumph by somebody's tame expert. Every failure gets a new slogan. Policies and U-turns are fed to the press while Parliament—and the people it represents—seem to come last. And our Prime Minister? Another TikTok. Another carefully packaged glimpse of "Andy the ordinary bloke". This weekend it was the Downing Street sofa for Celebrity Gogglebox's cancer charity special. A worthwhile cause—but I'm judging his premiership on answers and leadership, not his choice of snacks.

We were told Starmer couldn't communicate. Now Burnham's cheerleaders would have us believe he's a cross between Billy Graham and Brian Clough. I don't see it. Put him under sustained questioning and the grand communicator suddenly looks a lot less convincing. Where's the substance beneath the sales pitch? And where is his own general election mandate for this change of direction?

Winning Makerfield wasn't a blank cheque to take the whole country wherever he fancies. Remember Brexit? In Makerfield, he said he wouldn't rerun those arguments. Now he's reopening the very debate he told voters he wanted to move beyond. I call that a screeching U-turn.

How are voters supposed to trust a promise if its meaning changes once the votes are counted? Meanwhile, the Tories and Reform are tearing into each other. More point-scoring. More squabbling. More politicians fighting over their own futures while we worry about ours.

I've watched British politics for decades, and I struggle to remember feeling this contemptuous of the whole performance. A circus with unfunny clowns. And we're paying for the bloody tickets. I've had enough of the lot of them. Have you?

POPPY DAY: WAS THEIR SACRIFICE WORTH IT?

"A LAND FIT FOR HEROES — OR ZEROES?"

#PoppyAppeal #Remembrance #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #WarHeroes #Britain #UKPolitics #Immigration #BorderControl #Antisemitism #DavidAmess #GroomingGangs #PublicInquiry

British Jews fear displaying their identity in the country those heroes helped defend? And then there's the video of a man spitting on the statue of murdered MP Sir David Amess, shared by a pro-Palestine activist. What sort of disgusting contempt is that? A memorial to a man murdered while serving his constituents — treated like a spittoon.

Where is the respect? Where is the basic bloody decency?

Girls abused by grooming gangs have spent years fighting to be heard. Now the public inquiry must expose who failed them, who dismissed them and who looked away. We need names, answers and consequences. How many more times must victims demand that the institutions paid to protect them actually do their jobs?

I will wear my poppy with pride. But remembrance must mean more than politicians bowing their heads once a year before returning to the same failures. They owed those heroes a better country. They owe their children and grandchildren one too. So yes, I'm asking: WAS THEIR SACRIFICE WORTH IT?

And if that question offends our political class, perhaps they should take a bloody good look at the country they're presiding over.

Join Jon Gaunt for a direct, angry debate about remembrance, respect and the Britain we have become.

STOP BLOODY WATCHING ME! WHERE HAS OUR PRIVACY GONE?

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Privacy #Surveillance #BigBrother #CCTV #OnlineTracking #PersonalData #Algorithms #Freedom #LeavingBritain

I'm sick to bloody death of being watched, tracked, analysed and sold to. Government, local councils, social media companies — why does everyone need to know so much about me?

I look for travel insurance and suddenly my Facebook and X feeds are stuffed with offers from companies I haven't even approached. I wanted an insurance quote, not a bloody relationship!

Then there's Amazon and Netflix, forever suggesting what I might like. Watch this. Buy that. Try this next. LEAVE ME ALONE! I want to discover things for myself. Browse, explore, make my own choices. I don't need an algorithm organising my life around what it thinks will keep me watching or spending.

Out in the street, there's another camera. Online, another cookie request. Another account to create, another app to download, another demand for personal information. Why do you need it? Who are you sharing it with? And when do I get a say? Everyone is holding too much information on us. Our movements, our purchases, our interests, our habits. We're expected to hand it over, trust whoever collects it and accept another intrusion as the price of everyday life.

Where does this end? How much of ourselves are we supposed to surrender? This is part of why I'm leaving the country. I'm heading to Southeast Asia — places we're encouraged to regard as "less developed". Well, I hope I might find a bit more freedom to wander, explore and get on with my life. I'll find out when I get there. But what does it say about life here that the prospect of being left alone has become something I'm travelling halfway around the world to look for?

I'm 65. I want an adventure. I want to look around me and decide for myself what interests me. I don't want the rest of my life fed back to me as a list of recommendations.

Are you fed up too? Or have we become so used to being watched that we've stopped questioning it? STOP BLOODY WATCHING ME. LET ME LIVE MY LIFE.

WHY ARE WE BEING KEPT IN THE DARK? IS SOMETHING BIG ABOUT TO HAPPEN?

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #Trump #IllegalImmigration #StopTheBoats #UKPolitics

Why aren't they stopping the boats? Why are prisoners being released early because we haven't got enough prison places? Why are we being urged to keep emergency food and water supplies while national service and conscription keep making headlines?

And why is Andy Burnham talking about car park fines when we need serious answers about the security of our country? Stop trying to be a cross between Esther Rantzen and Martin Lewis. We need a bloody leader, not another consumer champion.

Put down the phone, forget the next TikTok video and get a grip. Trump says France should close its borders. Is he right—and should Britain and the rest of Europe follow suit?

And stop telling us we must all "share the burden" of accommodating illegal migrants. Who asked us? Moving people around the country spreads the consequences of a failed border policy. It doesn't fix it. I don't want illegal migration into Britain. Those who arrive without permission should be in secure accommodation while their identities and claims are checked, with removal when they have no right to remain. Wanting controlled borders and proper checks does not make you racist. Defend the policy instead of smearing the people expected to live with it.

The Americans withdrew their bombers from Fairford following security threats. What was the danger, what has changed, and how are people here being protected? Emergency supplies advice and debates about military service deserve clear explanations. Ministers say there are no plans for conscription—so tell us exactly what preparations ARE being made. With unrest in France, what is being done to prevent violence here?

Are residents being heard, or will ministers wait until trouble erupts before taking their concerns seriously? We deserve secure borders, proper sentences and straight answers. Join Jon Gaunt for a direct debate: WHAT AREN'T THEY TELLING US?

FRANCE & ITALY ON FIRE! IS THE UK NEXT? #JonGauntTV #EuropeOnFire #ImmigrationCrisis #MilanRiots #ItalyProtests #UKPolitics

Europe is a tinderbox! France has witnessed violent unrest, Milan has seen clashes on the streets, and the anger directed at the political establishment is impossible to ignore.

BUT HOW LONG BEFORE BRITAIN EXPLODES TOO? We're being taxed to the hilt, hammered by the cost of living, let down by public services and forced to watch successive governments fail to get a grip on illegal immigration.

Thousands of people have crossed the Channel illegally, and instead of being held in secure facilities while their identities and asylum claims are properly assessed, many are housed in hotels and other accommodation at enormous public expense.

Meanwhile, local residents are asking perfectly reasonable questions about security, public safety and the impact on their communities. AND WHO THE HELL IS LISTENING TO THEM? Look at Piddington. Residents have protested against plans for migrant accommodation, yet many feel their concerns are being brushed aside.

Across Britain, there's a growing and deeply dangerous perception that British citizens are coming second in their own country. Whether it's access to housing, pressure on services, public safety or simply the right to have a say about what happens in their neighbourhood, people feel ignored.

And what does the political establishment do? Lecture them! Dismiss their concerns! Tell them everything is under control! WELL, IT BLOODY WELL ISN'T! My argument is simple. People arriving without verified identities should be held in secure, properly regulated facilities while their cases are determined. Those with valid asylum claims should be treated according to the law, and those with no right to remain should be removed.

Instead, we have a system that seems designed to accommodate everyone except the people who are paying for it! I'm not defending violence, rioting or looting. But ignoring public anger, refusing to confront difficult questions and treating legitimate concerns as an inconvenience is a recipe for disaster.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS COCKTAIL AND OUR POLITICIANS ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE! Are France and Italy a warning of what's coming to Britain? Is the country becoming a pressure cooker? And how much longer can the establishment ignore the people it's supposed to represent?

I'M LEAVING BRITAIN BUT I'LL MISS THESE THINGS! DOES THAT MAKE ME A WAYCIST?!

#JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LeavingBritain #EnglishCulture #ProudToBeEnglish #EnglishVillage #BritishIdentity #EnglishTraditions

I'm leaving Britain. I've had a bellyful of what this country is becoming. But this morning I was reminded that the England I love is still alive and kicking. And I'm bloody furious that we've lost so much of it elsewhere! I'm dog sitting for my daughter in a beautiful little English village.

Took the dog for a walk and everybody said hello. Well, actually, they said hello to the dog. A bloke was repairing an old Cotswold stone wall. The local market was packing up. The pub was opening. People were chatting, smiling and getting on with their lives.

Then we got to the funeral directors. The bloody dog sat down outside and refused to move! Why? Because he knew the lady inside would come out, give him a stroke and offer him a biscuit! Even the funeral director knows the dog!

THIS IS ENGLAND. NOT SOME NOSTALGIC FANTASY. NOT A PICTURE POSTCARD FROM THE PAST. REAL ENGLAND, HERE AND NOW!

And that's what made me angry. Because this sense of community, belonging and shared identity still exists. But we've lost so much of it in our bigger towns and cities. Why? And who's responsible?

Then I remembered Labour minister Jenny Riddell-Carpenter linking warm ale, black Labradors and country pubs to what she called a "very far-right nostalgic vision of Britain". What a load of absolute cobblers! Of course, after the backlash, she was suddenly explaining how much she loved pubs and Labradors herself. Well, Jenny, I've got news for you.

THIS ENGLAND DOES EXIST! I'VE JUST WALKED THROUGH IT!

And there's nothing racist or far right about loving it, defending it or wanting to bring it back to the parts of Britain where we've lost that sense of community.

The Chinese takeaway owner knows the dog. The Turkish barber waved hello. The African bloke running the coffee shop plays the coolest music this side of Oxford.

That's not some government diversity initiative. That's people living together in a community that has a character, a history and a shared sense of belonging.

SURELY ENGLISH CULTURE IS PART OF DIVERSITY TOO?! Why should we be embarrassed about our own traditions? Why should we accept the decline of our high streets, the disappearance of our pubs and the breakdown of communities as inevitable? And why do politicians seem more interested in lecturing us about our attitudes than asking why so many people feel they've lost the country they grew up in?

I'm 65. My kids are grown up and I'm off to see the world. I've had enough of the taxes, the lies, the political incompetence and the way Britain is being run. But today I realised something. I'M NOT LEAVING BRITAIN BECAUSE I HATE IT. I'M LEAVING BECAUSE I HATE WHAT'S HAPPENING TO IT!

And the tragedy is that the Britain I love hasn't vanished. It's still here. I've seen it with my own eyes this morning. SO WHY THE HELL CAN'T WE HAVE MORE OF IT? Maybe the answer to all this division isn't another government initiative or another bloody lecture about diversity. Maybe we should start rebuilding communities where people actually know and speak to each other.

OR MAYBE THE DOG HELPS! And here's the final irony. The dog that's bringing this quintessentially English village together? IT'S A BLOODY AFGHAN HOUND!

Join me LIVE on Jon Gaunt TV today. What would YOU miss about Britain? Why have we lost this sense of community in so many places? And why should anyone apologise for wanting it back?
