00:00:08.000 **birds chirping** **snoring**

00:00:16.000 **music** **music**

00:00:47.000 You are a wonder.

00:00:49.000 You are awakening.

00:00:50.000 You are therefore an awakening wonder.

00:00:53.000 Are you joining us on YouTube or have you joined us on Rumble yet?

00:00:56.000 That bastion, that citadel, that oasis of free speech.

00:01:00.000 There's a link in the description because we'll do the first 20 minutes over here where we're going to be talking about the coronation of King Charles.

00:01:07.000 King Charles.

00:01:09.000 Our king.

00:01:10.000 Did you do the pledge, Gal?

00:01:12.000 Of course I did, yeah.

00:01:13.000 I nearly done the pledge.

00:01:14.000 No, I didn't do the pledge.

00:01:15.000 I won't do the pledge.

00:01:16.000 I don't like doing stuff like that and on a Bible type things.

00:01:19.000 We'll be talking about that and also when we flick over being exclusively on Rumble, right, what You know, we're going to talk about Julian Assange, still in Belmarsh Prison, who's written a letter to King Charles talking about free speech.

00:01:31.000 And we're going to be talking about what five things are right wing now that surprise you.

00:01:36.000 It's astonishing just to see how the taxonomies around politics and the categorization of politics has altered.

00:01:43.000 We're talking about pageantry and ceremony.

00:01:46.000 And I'm going to offer you, I'm going to be offering you a Foucaultian dialectic, girl.

00:01:51.000 I love it when that happens.

00:01:53.000 Very relatable.

00:01:55.000 I'm a man of the people.

00:01:57.000 I'm a man, are you right?

00:01:58.000 I'm like you.

00:01:59.000 We're all like each other.

00:02:00.000 I'm going to offer you a Foucauldian dialectic.

00:02:03.000 Is all ceremony and pageantry about violence?

00:02:05.000 That might seem like a bit highfalutin at first, but what is it about really?

00:02:09.000 Did you notice how much military presence there were?

00:02:11.000 And really, How do you get yourself a royal family?

00:02:15.000 Like, if you're starting now and you're like, I'd love a royal family in a few years.

00:02:17.000 Well, here's what you have to do.

00:02:19.000 Nick some countries.

00:02:20.000 There's no other... Nick countries and impoverish the people in that country.

00:02:23.000 I'm not even anti-royal.

00:02:24.000 I've got tea towels and paraphernalia at my house.

00:02:27.000 Royal family tea towels.

00:02:28.000 Of course I have.

00:02:29.000 My nan, she loved the royals.

00:02:30.000 Biscuit tins with them on and everything.

00:02:33.000 Even that one.

00:02:33.000 I've even got a mug with... Yeah, they're all on there.

00:02:37.000 So, like, it's not like I'm anti-royal, even though the mainstream media did a right, like, snidey little anti-royal story on me, because I'd said, why are we, we're like hostages, why are we still funding all this stuff?

00:02:49.000 Do you think it's right with all the energy crisis?

00:02:50.000 In fact, I'll offer you this question in the same way I did it before.

00:02:53.000 Do you think that we should be funding expensive pageantry, whether it's inaugural events or stuff like in your country, America, or stuff in our country, these kind of ceremonies, when there's an energy crisis, when there's a cost-of-living crisis, when there's a food crisis?

00:03:08.000 Or do you think that we could be redirecting these resources?

00:03:12.000 Sometimes I think this about socialism.

00:03:13.000 I think, like, people go, oh, we can't be funding healthcare and hospitals and schools and whatnot.

00:03:18.000 But of course, you're subsidizing the military-industrial complex.

00:03:21.000 Right now.

00:03:22.000 We're subsidising energy companies right now.

00:03:24.000 So we're not discussing whether or not there will be redistribution of wealth.

00:03:29.000 We're simply discussing where it will be redistributed to.

00:03:33.000 In favour of ordinary people or against the interests of ordinary people.

00:03:37.000 Go on.

00:03:38.000 I'm sure the mainstream are watching this show.

00:03:40.000 Oh, the mainstream are watching because when they go on the attack it means they're watching.

00:03:43.000 There you go.

00:03:44.000 Yeah, yeah, that's good because there's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's being told to Well, are these words sayable while we're on YouTube, Gareth?

00:03:53.000 I'm talking about the first story and the Camilla.

00:03:56.000 Wipe your V word.

00:03:58.000 I mean, that's a medical word, isn't it?

00:04:00.000 Are you allowed to say that?

00:04:01.000 Sure.

00:04:01.000 Who knows?

00:04:02.000 In part of the ceremony, here's one of the things, like, remember, in 20 minutes this is going to get double clever.

00:04:06.000 Foucaultian dialectics, facts, figures, all that stuff.

00:04:10.000 But for now, we're going to be talking about, like, there's this weird bit of the ceremony.

00:04:14.000 Have you seen it yet, you guys?

00:04:16.000 By the way, join us on, if you join us on rumbles, on rambles, join us over on the rambles.

00:04:21.000 Give us a mumble before you take a tumble. 0.66

00:04:24.000 If you join us on Rumble, you can become a member of our locals community.

00:04:27.000 They're on there now chatting.

00:04:28.000 Lady Midnight, hello, hello. 0.99

00:04:30.000 Lady Grey, 312.

00:04:32.000 You can join the conversation on there.

00:04:33.000 It's a beautiful little community of joyous, free-thinking radicals resolving their own issues there in conversation right now.

00:04:41.000 Tell us, what do you think they're saying in this ceremony?

00:04:44.000 Is it, wipe that V-word?

00:04:47.000 It's a medical word.

00:04:47.000 Sure.

00:04:48.000 It's a medical word.

00:04:49.000 If I write it down, will it be censored?

00:04:50.000 Because you have to be so careful on YouTube.

00:04:52.000 It's the opposite of a winky-woo. 1.00

00:04:54.000 Are they opposites, though, Gal?

00:04:55.000 Well, no, I guess... Is a winky-woo and a V-word, are they opposites?

00:04:59.000 Are they?

00:04:59.000 I guess not.

00:05:00.000 I don't know if they are opposites.

00:05:01.000 Maybe you're accepting a V... Oh, you think this is better, do you?

00:05:04.000 Just writing it on a page?

00:05:05.000 Are they saying, wipe your that?

00:05:08.000 Wipe your that! 0.97

00:05:08.000 Right. 0.97

00:05:10.000 Wipe your that! 0.97

00:05:11.000 Have a look. 0.99

00:05:13.000 Why that vagina, Camilla? 1.00

00:05:18.000 Couldn't sound any more like, Why that vagina, Camilla? 1.00

00:05:22.000 I'm sorry I said it now. 0.99

00:05:24.000 I knew it. Because he said it and I said it.

00:05:24.000 Sorry, it was irresistible.

00:05:26.000 I shouldn't have included that. 0.99

00:05:34.000 The big PR campaign for two years, trying to get everyone to forget about Princess Diana and Laika, and then the minute they get a marching band, they go, Wipe that vagina, Camilla! 1.00

00:05:46.000 Oh, what was the point? 0.98

00:05:47.000 We paid a fortune to Freud PR, and if only we could sing this!

00:05:53.000 They didn't do that in rehearsals!

00:05:55.000 Wait a minute, I don't remember that song!

00:05:57.000 What's really interesting, of course, about all ceremony and pageantry is that it's part of the installation and ongoing instantiation of power.

00:06:06.000 But we talk continually, don't we, on this channel about decentralization.

00:06:11.000 The decentralization of power is one of the things we continually talk about.

00:06:15.000 Now, the Royal Family are aware that they are not liked in the city of Liverpool.

00:06:19.000 That is why they used this song, famous and popular in Liverpool, the anthem, in case you're not a fan of British football, and if you're not, you should be, the anthem of the great football club of Liverpool, all respect to Everton fans, you're all great as far as I'm concerned, their anthem is You'll Never Walk Alone.

00:06:36.000 Now, part of the pageantry, part of the ceremony was they did a cover of You'll Never Walk Alone.

00:06:41.000 The people of Liverpool hate The British establishment, because of a disaster, Hillsborough, where 97 people were unlawfully killed, because they feel that they've been ostracised, alienated and ignored by the establishment.

00:06:53.000 And really, like many of the working communities of the North of England, they're aware of how the South and Southern-based establishments have rinsed them and turned them over.

00:07:01.000 And you know we're always arguing for decentralised power.

00:07:03.000 Would Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, even Birmingham, Nottingham, would these great cities be better...

00:07:09.000 With more autonomy, more devolution, how do we benefit from centralisation?

00:07:13.000 You are a federal nation.

00:07:15.000 Would you like to see more federalised, localised power?

00:07:18.000 More food grown in your own community?

00:07:20.000 More democracy?

00:07:20.000 More of your energy problems solved directly?

00:07:23.000 That that should be the function and the focus of an organised society?

00:07:27.000 Well anyway, have a look at this.

00:07:28.000 They use You'll Never Walk Alone at As part of the ceremony, but you've got to see the riposte of Liverpool fans.

00:07:35.000 It's not a riposte, actually, because I'd already done it.

00:07:36.000 But you've got to see the genuine feelings of Liverpool fans when they are forced to listen to the national anthem of their football match.

00:07:42.000 Let's start with the appropriation of a piece of Liverpool culture, even though it's a pop song as well.

00:07:47.000 Have a look at how this thing went over.

00:07:49.000 We'll hold in your heart as you never once

00:08:00.000 have loved in all of time.

00:08:10.000 You couldn't schedule that and not know what it means to the people of Liverpool.

00:08:14.000 You couldn't accidentally do that.

00:08:15.000 It's a deliberate choice so that some people that are in Liverpool or connected to Liverpool go, oh, they did a lovely job of your Never Walk Alone.

00:08:22.000 Well, look at the Liverpool... Guys, guys, guys, steady.

00:08:27.000 Look at the Liverpool fans.

00:08:29.000 Look at how they respond when the national anthem is played for their Premier League match against Brentford.

00:08:35.000 Check it.

00:08:36.000 Half the coronation, every football match, they played the national anthem.

00:08:50.000 That's just, that's a pretty ardent disapproval, I would say.

00:08:55.000 It's interesting to watch the players.

00:08:56.000 I think a couple of them are, well, it's only Trent, English out of them, Andy Robertson, Scottish, like so, but you can see Spostar sing along.

00:09:04.000 Kurt Jones, I think, over there.

00:09:05.000 Kurt Jones, who's front of frame.

00:09:08.000 Like, traditionally, they sing along, but look, hardly any of them are singing.

00:09:12.000 Check it.

00:09:15.000 Henderson, English, obviously.

00:09:17.000 Yeah, he's singing.

00:09:24.000 Trent, that's not singing, is it?

00:09:26.000 That's lip-licking. 0.96

00:09:29.000 Mo Salah, he's Egyptian, Suez Canal, he got no love lost for the British Empire.

00:09:35.000 So it's interesting, isn't it, to sort of see how these things play out, how the pageantry is in some ways disconnected, and even old little old Russ here, I said a thing like, we must be crazy to fund this, when they reported on it in the Independent newspaper, curiously a newspaper called the Independent is Up to 50% owned by Saudi Arabian interests and some people say that you oughtn't have a Saudi Arabian owned newspaper presenting itself as English because it's going to bias their reporting.

00:10:04.000 State connections as well.

00:10:05.000 Strong state connections.

00:10:06.000 So you know remember when your president Joe Biden said we'll make Saudi Arabia a pariah only to do a bunch of arms deals and oil deals and fist bumps and all that stuff?

00:10:15.000 Really what I'm saying is power takes place invisibly behind the distractions of these cultural artifacts that they bombard us with like a kind of kaleidoscope and nonsense to keep us distracted.

00:10:26.000 That's sort of what I'm saying.

00:10:28.000 Those liberal supporters are lucky they didn't get arrested because there was a lot of other arrests going on on the day of the coronation for people peacefully You're not allowed to peacefully protest.

00:10:36.000 It's weird, isn't it?

00:10:37.000 Because it's supposed to be a democracy.

00:10:40.000 It's supposed to be harmless pageantry.

00:10:43.000 Continually they used the word serve, didn't they?

00:10:45.000 To describe what King Charles was doing.

00:10:47.000 He'll be mostly serving.

00:10:49.000 He'll be mostly serving.

00:10:50.000 Not the word ruling, which is the word that used to be commonly used.

00:10:54.000 And it was a real establishment shindig.

00:10:56.000 Have a look at Rishi Sunak, our current Prime Minister.

00:11:00.000 dancing away. This is one of those things that when you sort of see it, you could be

00:11:04.000 neutral about Rishi Sunak because he's a bit of a no-mark, he's a bit of a political non-entity,

00:11:08.000 he's a bit of a nobody, he's a bit of a sort of a comes out of hedge funds and all that kind of

00:11:12.000 just you know WF globalist stuff. But he will evoke emotions when you see him dancing, check this out.

00:11:27.000 I don't like that kind of enthusiasm, do you?

00:11:29.000 Hey, baby, let's go! 1.00

00:11:31.000 Yeah, we're rockin' now!

00:11:34.000 Made me sort of shudder a little bit there.

00:11:35.000 Oh dear.

00:11:37.000 Did it make you feel a bit sorry for him?

00:11:39.000 He's so tragic, isn't he, Rishi?

00:11:40.000 Unfortunately.

00:11:41.000 He needs to be swaddled up in baby's clothes and just held so tight.

00:11:46.000 Like that, innit?

00:11:47.000 The point you swaddle a baby is because they're moving around too much.

00:11:51.000 You swaddle them up, they're all cosy back in the womb. 1.00

00:11:53.000 That's what Rishi Sunak needs.

00:11:54.000 Swaddle him up nice and tight, get him right nice there in a hedge fund that may have provided significant funding to Moderna.

00:12:02.000 Well, I mean, I think it did do that.

00:12:02.000 Right.

00:12:04.000 Allegedly.

00:12:05.000 It sort of did happen.

00:12:06.000 It's one of those things that happened in the world.

00:12:06.000 Just happened.

00:12:08.000 Unelected, yes, Barry John M Fox there in the chat.

00:12:11.000 You're quite right about all that.

00:12:12.000 Remember, if you're watching this on YouTube, join us over on Rumble now.

00:12:15.000 And if you want to dive a little deeper, get right into Locals, because in a minute, we're going to be talking about the stuff they won't tell you on mainstream media because of their biases and their ultimate support of the establishment.

00:12:26.000 We're going to be talking about Julian Assange's letter to Charles.

00:12:29.000 And if you can guess now in the chat, five things that make you right wing now, I'll give you one clue.

00:12:35.000 Free speech is one of them.

00:12:36.000 No, you didn't used to be that.

00:12:36.000 You did not used to be right wing.

00:12:38.000 Free speech used to be all wings.

00:12:41.000 It's weird seeing that, isn't it?

00:12:42.000 Like, I know you, you know, maybe sometimes you feel like you're going too far when you make comparisons with China.

00:12:48.000 And I know like some of those protesters, some of the people who were arrested, it was like, these are draconian methods, these things that authoritarian people should... You're affected by these protests.

00:12:56.000 Well, I just think, while you're seeing this, I mean, this is the kind of stuff like when you're in China and you're seeing the elections and it's just like, oh, it's just, I mean, it's outright propaganda.

00:13:04.000 And obviously this is not to do with elections, but it is about power, ultimately.

00:13:07.000 That is what this whole thing is reinforcing.

00:13:10.000 All this imagery is reinforcing that.

00:13:12.000 But at the same time, these protest laws that are coming in, they're the things that will actually affect people.

00:13:17.000 As things get worse and worse, Your inability to protest will genuinely affect you.

00:13:22.000 Not whether or not you can dance to take that or whatever at a concert.

00:13:25.000 You know, and then like Silky Carlo, friend of the show.

00:13:28.000 Can we do, first of all, can we do the protest laws?

00:13:30.000 Because I like that.

00:13:31.000 This is my favourite sign, by the way, by the protesters.

00:13:34.000 Like, it really nails it in four words.

00:13:36.000 Like, this is an anti-royal protest that went on during the ceremony.

00:13:39.000 He's just some guy!

00:13:41.000 It's almost like they're not that angry.

00:13:44.000 But wait a minute!

00:13:45.000 He's just some guy!

00:13:46.000 Why are we funding all this stuff?

00:13:48.000 Now, can we have a look, please, at the protest laws in detail?

00:13:52.000 What can you not do now that you used to be able to do?

00:13:55.000 Let's go full screen on that.

00:13:57.000 So, while all this stuff was going on, They just casually introduced, like while we're looking at big golden five ton carriages while people are using food banks.

00:14:06.000 Remember, I'm not even anti-law.

00:14:07.000 I think you should decide.

00:14:08.000 I think you should vote for it.

00:14:09.000 You should have a referendum.

00:14:10.000 You know how people love a referendum as long as they go the way they want them to.

00:14:13.000 These were introduced as is often the case.

00:14:17.000 These police were given new powers specifically for this event.

00:14:21.000 So it's using this event to say what we don't want is problems and protesters and things.

00:14:26.000 Let's give the police new powers.

00:14:27.000 But as we know, those powers don't get...

00:14:29.000 are rescinded. King Charles's coronation is a chance to showcase our liberty, said a cabinet

00:14:34.000 minister. Well let's look at how they showcase those liberties, let's have a look at those

00:14:36.000 laws. Locking on and going equipped to lock on, attaching yourselves to others, objects

00:14:41.000 or buildings. One person got arrested I think for having some string. That little boy was

00:14:45.000 named Pinocchio, he was a little puppet boy.

00:14:48.000 Extending of stop and search powers.

00:14:50.000 So that means what?

00:14:51.000 They can search you a bit more.

00:14:53.000 Serious disruption prevention orders.

00:14:55.000 Allow courts to place requirements they consider to be necessary in order to prevent someone causing.

00:15:00.000 That's preemptive.

00:15:01.000 That means they can arrest you.

00:15:02.000 That's old school.

00:15:03.000 That's what they did to like Irish people in this country. 1.00

00:15:07.000 Britain started getting arrested in the 70s and 80s.

00:15:09.000 Sir, could you just Could we hear you speak for a moment?

00:15:13.000 Oh absolutely, so what do you want me to say?

00:15:16.000 You're under arrest for being in possession of an Irish accent.

00:15:21.000 That's pre-emptive arrest.

00:15:22.000 Enabling the Secretary of State to bring civil proceedings in relation to protest activity where courts grant an injunction in the context of those proceedings.

00:15:29.000 The measure enables the court to attach power of arrest.

00:15:31.000 12 months prison sentence for blocking a road.

00:15:35.000 So that's the point now.

00:15:36.000 If you block a road in a protest, you can get a 12-month prison sentence for that.

00:15:39.000 That's crazy.

00:15:40.000 I think that's why they were reporting so much on those people where it was a bit annoying, you know, where they were sort of linking arms across roads, you know, those energy protests, people throwing stuff at paint-ins, which was, I think, funded by some weird interests, you know.

00:15:53.000 Getty.

00:15:54.000 Getty's.

00:15:55.000 Go and Getty some oil, baby.

00:15:55.000 The Getty's.

00:15:58.000 Like they funded those protests and they showed like ordinary people dragging the protesters out of the road.

00:16:03.000 But if you grant more power to the state, it is not ultimately going to be used in your favor.

00:16:09.000 Also, look at this.

00:16:09.000 This comes from friend of the show Silky Carlo from Big Brother Watch.

00:16:13.000 She provides us with a lot of information around surveillance.

00:16:16.000 The Met used live facial recognition systems during the coronation.

00:16:20.000 This form of mass surveillance will mostly consist of technology provided by HIK Vision, a controversial company due to its tech being used in labor camps in China.

00:16:28.000 Don't judge us only by the tech we use in labor camps!

00:16:32.000 We do lots of tech! 0.99

00:16:33.000 So when we talk about comparisons to China, people will be like, oh you're ridiculous, this is just stupid, of course it's not like China. 0.99

00:16:40.000 Well, the type of technology they're using is exactly what they're using in China, in labor camps actually. 0.93

00:16:45.000 This live facial recognition is not referenced in a single UK law, has never been Never been debated in Parliament and is one of the most privacy-intrusive technologies ever used in British policing.

00:16:55.000 So when you're talking about, oh, let's celebrate the coronation, what you're celebrating is these things being introduced.

00:17:00.000 Wow, it's brilliant.

00:17:01.000 It's more to it than take that.

00:17:03.000 The appropriation of working-class cultural artefacts like the song You'll Never Walk Alone, even though the people of Liverpool with whom that song is associated absolutely detest the establishment and openly boo during those songs.

00:17:14.000 Technology and protest laws being introduced to all, you know, to showcase how bloody liberal everything is.

00:17:20.000 I've got a few interesting quotes about that.

00:17:22.000 Take that and go to prison.

00:17:25.000 Protesting.

00:17:28.000 I've got two good quotes here.

00:17:29.000 One is from British journalist Julie Birchew and another one is from Richard Cobden.

00:17:34.000 I'm going to surprise you with Richard Cobden who I believe is a liberal.

00:17:38.000 We all remember Richard Cobden because of his great work around the Corn Laws.

00:17:42.000 Do you remember the Cornwall and the Opium Wars?

00:17:44.000 Yeah, talking about China.

00:17:46.000 Let's take this thing back to a little old fang called history. 0.99

00:17:48.000 So Julie Birchall said, a wedding is a funeral which masquerades as a feast and the greater the pageantry, the deeper the savagery.

00:17:55.000 Brilliant piece of writing there and offering you that Foucaultian dialectic.

00:18:01.000 Is it that the more ceremony you see there, does it mean the savagery is greater?

00:18:05.000 This is a question for you.

00:18:06.000 This is not my opinion. 0.99

00:18:08.000 No, when a newspaper called The Independent, funded by Saudi Arabia, says that I said the public are stupid, when I ask, are we stupid, why did they change it? 1.00

00:18:18.000 What does that show you? 1.00

00:18:19.000 It shows you an agenda.

00:18:20.000 It shows they want you to feel a certain way about anyone who is a dissenter.

00:18:25.000 Anyone who interrupts the establishment narrative.

00:18:28.000 So bear that in mind whenever you're listening to their lies.

00:18:30.000 Okay, so this is by Richard Cobden.

00:18:32.000 The 12 or 15 millions in the British Empire who, while they possess no electoral rights, are yet persuaded they are free men and who are mystified into the notion that they are not political bondmen by that great juggle of the English Constitution.

00:18:47.000 A thing of monopolies and churchcraft and sinecures and armorial hocus-pocus, primogeniture and pageantry.

00:18:56.000 I'll break down a few of those words there.

00:18:57.000 Sinecures, I had to look up.

00:18:58.000 That means a job where you don't have to do nothing.

00:19:00.000 Like on-screen assistant.

00:19:02.000 It's like one of those...

00:19:06.000 That was a good head drop!

00:19:07.000 That was like Andy Robertson in the English National Anthem, just a Scotsman staring at the floor, insulted by what's going on.

00:19:16.000 Now, sinecures is a job where you don't have to do any work.

00:19:19.000 Armorial hocus-pocus, I actually don't know what armorial means, I imagine that's to do with the armed forces.

00:19:23.000 Primogeniture, the process of making the firstborn king, because really, Charles's sister Older than him, she should have been king or queen.

00:19:30.000 Right.

00:19:31.000 It's blatant sexism. 0.60

00:19:32.000 So you can't have these institutions and talk and pretend that progressivism is your de facto religion, i.e.

00:19:39.000 identity politics.

00:19:40.000 You can't query and argue about taking the badges out of the Manchester football clubs.

00:19:47.000 There's ships in Manchester City's badge and Manchester United's badge.

00:19:49.000 Should the ships be there because there's connotations of the slave trade and imperialism?

00:19:53.000 Well, yeah, that might be true.

00:19:55.000 Shall we have a look at where the royal family's money comes from?

00:19:57.000 It comes from colonialism, imperialism.

00:19:59.000 It comes from you and me.

00:20:01.000 Making it look friendly and like, take that and Lionel Richie and all that kind of stuff.

00:20:05.000 That's to soften the edges of it.

00:20:07.000 That's a nice little wry smile.

00:20:09.000 That's a nice little wry smile.

00:20:11.000 I know what you're thinking.

00:20:12.000 I was thinking because you've been singing a lot of Lionel Richie today.

00:20:14.000 You are my destiny.

00:20:15.000 So it's worked on someone in this room.

00:20:18.000 You got me there.

00:20:18.000 You are my one and only.

00:20:19.000 You bring that joy to me.

00:20:22.000 Like the only thing I watched of the thing, the the coronation was on BBC2 they did all of Lionel Richie's

00:20:29.000 performances over the years not from that day over the years Lionel Richie's and

00:20:33.000 being with the Commodores in 1980 him doing yes you once twice and I was

00:20:38.000 thinking Lionel Richie's brilliant actually right that's what you took from

00:20:41.000 all this mine you here's my opinion

00:20:44.000 Lionel Richie is brilliant and those people when I was 16 took a piss out of me saying I should have been listening to like jungle music and like hardcore house.

00:20:53.000 They were wrong and I'm right because I was on my own in my room listening to Lionel Richie.

00:20:57.000 What's he listening to in there? 0.99

00:20:59.000 Right you, you little prat! 0.97

00:21:00.000 And I was listening to Lionel Richie, Best Ofs on CD. 0.95

00:21:05.000 It has influenced your personality.

00:21:08.000 It's influenced my wet look hair.

00:21:10.000 Now, uh, okay, so, oh, do you want to listen?

00:21:12.000 We're gonna, in a minute, we're gonna flip over to being exclusively on Rumble and talking about Julian Assange, his position on all this.

00:21:18.000 He's written to the newly crowned king and it's out of order, really, that he ain't been, his voice isn't heard.

00:21:24.000 Even the Australian Prime Minister... What, do you want him to be alongside Lionel Richie?

00:21:28.000 I want...

00:21:30.000 I reckon this celebration should have been Julian Assange, Lionel Richie, now live from Belmarsh, singing You Are My Destiny!

00:21:39.000 It's Julian Assange!

00:21:41.000 You are my destiny!

00:21:42.000 Can I come out please?

00:21:44.000 I've only got 15 minutes of yard time!

00:21:46.000 You are my one and only!

00:21:47.000 The destiny is the trial!

00:21:49.000 Where he's going to jail for 175 years! 1.00

00:21:50.000 We're going to hold that trial in Texas, bitches! 1.00

00:21:54.000 Whoop whoop! 0.99

00:21:56.000 Now, Edward Snowden, in Russia, doing, hello?

00:22:00.000 Is it me you're looking for?

00:22:02.000 You better believe it's you we're looking for, Snowden! 1.00

00:22:05.000 Where are you, you little son of a bitch? 1.00

00:22:08.000 Telling the truth to the American people? 1.00

00:22:10.000 They can't handle the truth.

00:22:11.000 A few little facts.

00:22:12.000 The British Crown legally owns 6.6 billion acres, ooh, nearly 666, of land across the world.

00:22:17.000 That's a six, there's the third six!

00:22:19.000 Of the Earth's surface.

00:22:21.000 British monarchs are worth 28 billion quid.

00:22:23.000 Royal family costs us 300 million a year.

00:22:25.000 22, 23, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:26.000 86 million.

00:22:27.000 What's this about clocks?

00:22:27.000 The palace urgently requires 30 more clocks.

00:22:30.000 What is that?

00:22:30.000 Yeah.

00:22:31.000 It's if they need more clocks, they get more money.

00:22:33.000 It's as simple as that, really.

00:22:34.000 They get money for clocks?

00:22:36.000 Yeah, clocks.

00:22:36.000 How many clocks do they need?

00:22:37.000 I don't know, it's a random fact.

00:22:38.000 I put it in there because I thought it was amusing.

00:22:40.000 It is amusing.

00:22:41.000 I reckon they should have that one out of Beauty and the Beast, what comes to life.

00:22:45.000 Tells you what to do in that and his mates with the candelabra.

00:22:48.000 And the one from Back to the Future.

00:22:50.000 Just all the famous clocks.

00:22:51.000 Famous!

00:22:51.000 I'd want a few famous clocks.

00:22:53.000 I want the one from the DeLorean counting down.

00:22:55.000 Putt, putt, jiggle, what's Marty?

00:22:57.000 We're going back to the past where we can see where the Royals got all this money. 0.99

00:23:00.000 Oh shit, don't show that! 1.00

00:23:01.000 And where you can have it off with your mum! 1.00

00:23:06.000 That's Marty McFly.

00:23:07.000 Yeah.

00:23:08.000 That's having it away with his mum.

00:23:09.000 I know he's saying you can do it when we go back in time.

00:23:12.000 Not Charles.

00:23:13.000 No, no, no.

00:23:14.000 We ain't doing that!

00:23:14.000 Bah!

00:23:16.000 Not here!

00:23:17.000 Although... No.

00:23:17.000 No.

00:23:18.000 No.

00:23:19.000 Okay, let's go, because I've got a good joke.

00:23:21.000 All right, let's go over Rumble so I can do that joke. 0.74

00:23:23.000 Talk about Julian Assange.

00:23:23.000 Yes.

00:23:24.000 There's a giant penis been mown on the lawn of a site of a coronation party. 1.00

00:23:27.000 That's childish. 0.98

00:23:28.000 I also once lost a cell phone there, and... 0.99

00:23:31.000 In a giant penis? 1.00

00:23:32.000 Yeah, there it is. 1.00

00:23:33.000 That's where I lost my cell phone.

00:23:34.000 Around the tip.

00:23:35.000 Around the pelmet.

00:23:36.000 Around the pelmet is where I lost my cell phone there.

00:23:39.000 And I think that's been caused by my charisma.

00:23:42.000 That almighty phallus.

00:23:43.000 That's just where my spores have been left.

00:23:45.000 I was walking around with it.

00:23:46.000 No, is it here?

00:23:47.000 No, it's up there.

00:23:48.000 I'll study that bit.

00:23:48.000 Oh, maybe look here.

00:23:49.000 I thought they might have just copied the imagery on your phone, right?

00:23:55.000 Oh my god!

00:23:56.000 It's amazing!

00:23:57.000 And so lustrous and lush and verdant!

00:24:00.000 Shall we... right, let's flick over to being on... I don't want to say flick over while I'm looking at that sort of perfectly spherical pair of nuts either side like that.

00:24:08.000 Why don't they join up in the middle?

00:24:09.000 Why are them guys down like that?

00:24:11.000 They ain't orphans!

00:24:12.000 Why don't they join up down at the bottom?

00:24:14.000 Why don't they?

00:24:16.000 I asked my doctor the same question.

00:24:19.000 Please, doctor, doctor, give me the news. 0.99

00:24:21.000 I've got a bad case of separate balls. 0.90

00:24:24.000 Let's go over now to Rumble before anything else goes wrong. 0.90

00:24:28.000 Join us in the locals community, like people like True Chimera and Barry John Fox.

00:24:32.000 I bet Russell did do that.

00:24:33.000 C word on the lawn. 0.99

00:24:35.000 Can I say cock? 0.99

00:24:35.000 Are we on Rumble now? 0.99

00:24:36.000 Yeah, we're over.

00:24:37.000 Off you are.

00:24:38.000 Thank God.

00:24:39.000 There we go.

00:24:40.000 It's worth the money, isn't it? 0.99

00:24:41.000 Worth coming over Rumble to see a man take cock. 1.00

00:24:45.000 Okay, this is Julian Assange's letter to old King Charlie. 0.99

00:24:49.000 He's got a brand new hat.

00:24:50.000 Assange writes, I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty's Prison Belmarsh.

00:24:54.000 Right, because the prison's below.

00:24:56.000 Wow, yeah.

00:24:57.000 It's meant to be your prison, for it is an honour befitting a king.

00:25:00.000 As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible.

00:25:05.000 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

00:25:08.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:25:08.000 Go on, is there more from Assange or did they drop it out there? 0.71

00:25:11.000 That's good.

00:25:12.000 Assange is one of those things you're not meant to talk about as it makes you right wing.

00:25:15.000 Right.

00:25:16.000 Isn't it?

00:25:17.000 That's absolutely right.

00:25:18.000 Don't do Assange!

00:25:19.000 A man in prison for his beliefs, that's right wing.

00:25:21.000 Yep.

00:25:22.000 Here are some other things that are right-wing now, because guess what?

00:25:25.000 In your country, America, you know, like people are saying that RFK, now that he's got 20% of the poll in, he should be allowed to participate in some presidential debates.

00:25:35.000 But saying that you want a presidential debate, that's right-wing now.

00:25:38.000 Apparently, I've got Assange's letter on my desk somewhere, gals. 1.00

00:25:40.000 You know where it is.

00:25:40.000 Have you seen it?

00:25:41.000 Is it a long letter?

00:25:42.000 Here we go.

00:25:44.000 Oh, it is a bit... Oh, Julian.

00:25:46.000 Bloody hell, mate.

00:25:46.000 Well, you've got a lot of time on your hands.

00:25:48.000 Of course he has, isn't he?

00:25:49.000 He's banged up 23-45.

00:25:51.000 Stella, no offence, sorry mate, his wife and the leader of the campaign to free Julian Assange, a campaign that we actually back, as a matter of fact.

00:25:59.000 Sorry, Stella, sometimes I just say things for a laugh.

00:25:59.000 We'll be watching.

00:26:01.000 I don't know what's wrong with me.

00:26:02.000 There's something wrong with my mind.

00:26:03.000 It's an illness, I think.

00:26:03.000 I think it's Lionel Richie's fault.

00:26:06.000 You are my destiny, diddly diddling!

00:26:09.000 Yeah, of course...

00:26:10.000 Katy Perry was there.

00:26:12.000 Remember I used to be married to Katy Perry?

00:26:12.000 Yes.

00:26:14.000 No, I do remember that.

00:26:15.000 I like Katy Perry.

00:26:16.000 No, good.

00:26:17.000 She's very good.

00:26:19.000 What about when they had the King and Queen being on American Idol?

00:26:22.000 I know, that was... Yeah, let's have a look at that.

00:26:25.000 Because I remember when I was in Getting to the Greek, starring me... Yeah, right.

00:26:25.000 It's weird, isn't it?

00:26:31.000 I had to go on this, and what you realise is that, like, this will be on the ABC network, which will also own a film studio, and they all do, like, deals together.

00:26:38.000 Now, I bet the Coronation was being covered by a particular network, or had, you know, exclusivity with a particular network, or more access, and I bet it's the one that does this.

00:26:47.000 And, like, it was mad enough getting me to go on American Idol, so I went on it.

00:26:51.000 Because mainly, weren't you on there as, like, a charisma coach or something?

00:26:55.000 Why are you saying that?

00:26:56.000 Of course I was, yeah. 0.99

00:26:58.000 That's the one thing that did make sense in this topsy-turvy world, is that they brought me in to coach those poor dullards. 1.00

00:27:05.000 A bit of charisma, a bit of on-screen razzmatazz. 0.68

00:27:07.000 Is that what it was?

00:27:08.000 Yeah, I remember now.

00:27:09.000 It was all making sense.

00:27:10.000 You've got all the attributes you need.

00:27:12.000 You've got a brilliant singer, you look amazing, you're beautiful, but the one thing you lack is some advice from this guy.

00:27:18.000 Yo, yo, yo, what's up?

00:27:20.000 Time for some charisma!

00:27:21.000 Now, be really intense all the time, never stopping. 0.76

00:27:25.000 Be sporadically hilariously funny, then weirdly gloomy and morose.

00:27:30.000 Always look off into the distance like you don't belong here, and then sort of quote Foucault, not always in the correct context.

00:27:36.000 Think a bit too much about suicide. 1.00

00:27:38.000 Good luck out there, you crazy kids! 1.00

00:27:41.000 Good luck! 0.97

00:27:41.000 Good luck with your record careers. 0.97

00:27:43.000 Now, so I know it's sort of like, so Katy Perry, about whom I've got nothing but good things to say having been married to Katy.

00:27:48.000 She was a lovely human being, actually, in all truth.

00:27:51.000 You don't marry people because you don't love them, you marry them because you do love them.

00:27:54.000 Now let's have a look at Katie being with Lionel Richie and then the weird bit where like Camilla and Charles shuffle on and I am such a sucker for this stuff such a tea towel owning royal supporting down in my dumb blood way that I feel sort of sad for them and not right.

00:28:09.000 I am going to do some kind of meta-producorial stuff here.

00:28:12.000 How?

00:28:13.000 This will definitely be pulled out by if they're going to do a newspaper article about you saying the monarchy should be abolished they'll definitely do something about this.

00:28:20.000 Good producing.

00:28:21.000 Right.

00:28:21.000 Alright, well I'm not going to give them any good stuff.

00:28:23.000 You've said nice stuff so far.

00:28:24.000 I believe only in the working people and our rights to find love in our hearts.

00:28:27.000 I believe that love is the answer and the deepest truth there is.

00:28:30.000 And when we talk of God, we're talking of this love.

00:28:31.000 They won't be able to use that, it's too loving.

00:28:33.000 That's useless, they'll just speed through that.

00:28:33.000 They won't, they won't use that.

00:28:35.000 Look at this bit!

00:28:36.000 He said that!

00:28:37.000 What if we clip it up? 1.00

00:28:38.000 He talks about the big penis in the field! 1.00

00:28:40.000 Put the penis bit there! 1.00

00:28:44.000 I would like to, uh, Katie, excuse me, I have a surprise. 0.99

00:28:47.000 Excuse me, I just, yes, I did.

00:28:49.000 Goodness!

00:28:49.000 Surprise, I have a surprise.

00:28:51.000 Oh my goodness.

00:28:53.000 I'm not doing this all night long.

00:28:55.000 No, I'm not. Because I just wanted to check how much, how long you'll be using this room for.

00:29:01.000 I feel like they, they're so sweet, aren't they really?

00:29:05.000 It's not their fault.

00:29:06.000 They didn't ask to be born in that position any more than we wanted to be born in our positions.

00:29:10.000 This is not an attack on human individuals.

00:29:12.000 I actually do believe in God, therefore I believe in love.

00:29:15.000 What I feel is a problem is using symbols of power that ...are beyond reproach and question while simultaneously bringing in protest laws using unprecedented surveillance techniques and further drilling down into the idea that you can't change anything, that there's something natural about hegemony and that there's something natural about ordinary people suffering while you have a reified and elite class. 0.82

00:29:40.000 It's not a tax on those individuals who If you believe in God, then you do believe that all people are fundamentally beautiful and that we're all trying to get back home to that beauty rather than, oh, these people are worse.

00:29:51.000 I don't believe in that kind of sectarian, partisan attack.

00:29:56.000 That's not what we're here for.

00:29:57.000 We are a good faith organization that believe that together we can improve.

00:30:02.000 Like, whenever we make content, we try to be guided by those values.

00:30:05.000 Are we attacking the establishment?

00:30:07.000 We're not attacking individuals, are we?

00:30:09.000 Of course, we've made mistakes.

00:30:09.000 We're not being mean.

00:30:10.000 Me in particular, I've made a lot of mistakes.

00:30:12.000 But our intention is to bring people together so that we can organize society more fairly, so that we all have more authority in our own lives and our own communities.

00:30:21.000 So I'm glad you reminded me about the mainstream media.

00:30:24.000 They'll definitely take this clip and use it.

00:30:25.000 Now, all of it is going to be saying stuff like, Oh, no, We can't use that.

00:30:28.000 That's all fair and just and judicious and sensible and superior to our low-life mentality.

00:30:34.000 They'll end up doing that thing with Homer where there's that clock behind him that keeps changing.

00:30:38.000 I wanted to say that the rules are bad.

00:30:41.000 We should... They would just literally do that, wouldn't they?

00:30:43.000 There's no morals.

00:30:46.000 It's a difficult place to live.

00:30:47.000 We're talking about lack of democracy.

00:30:48.000 Yeah.

00:30:49.000 Well, this is a really interesting thing at the moment.

00:30:51.000 The situation with, as you said before, that now calling for Biden to do a debate, which the DNC don't, are going to make sure doesn't happen, which doesn't seem, for the Democratic National Committee, doesn't seem very democratic, does it?

00:31:04.000 It's not democratic.

00:31:05.000 Now we've got to the point where calling for a debate is now a right-wing issue.

00:31:09.000 How can that be a right-wing issue?

00:31:11.000 We're getting RFK on here.

00:31:12.000 We're sick and tired of being told you can't have people on.

00:31:15.000 Oh, you're platforming them.

00:31:16.000 They're right-wing or whatever.

00:31:17.000 I'm interested in peripheral voices that are willing to attack the establishment.

00:31:21.000 Have you seen RFK's campaign video?

00:31:23.000 It's all like, you know, energy companies got too much power, big tech got too much power, big pharma got too much power.

00:31:28.000 We've been lied to.

00:31:28.000 The media are propping up the establishment.

00:31:30.000 Bring the troops home.

00:31:31.000 End wars. 0.97

00:31:32.000 Oh, you're fascists.

00:31:32.000 How free Julian Assange?

00:31:34.000 Free Julian Assange!

00:31:36.000 Oh, you absolutely... He's getting all of the right-wing ticks.

00:31:39.000 Let's have a look at the five issues that are now right-wing.

00:31:41.000 See which ones you guessed.

00:31:42.000 And if you guessed it correctly, you get 20 years in Belmarsh without trial.

00:31:46.000 Things that are right-wing now.

00:31:48.000 Refusing to debate political opponents, free speech, being anti-war, pro-peaceful protest, and releasing Julian Assange.

00:31:54.000 All right-wing issues, fascinatingly.

00:31:56.000 Now, let's just talk about the composition of this graphic by Jack Thomas, who works there.

00:32:01.000 Why has he put so much purple outside of it?

00:32:05.000 A sea of indigo that was described as by our producer, Jamie.

00:32:08.000 Why are the fonts not bigger in there?

00:32:10.000 Because I goes, look mate, this don't have to be complicated.

00:32:12.000 That eyepiece around the window in this spire in fringe, just use something like that.

00:32:16.000 He's gone for that, that is delivered.

00:32:18.000 But look at the rest of it.

00:32:20.000 It looks like something's been dawdled on a pencil case, doesn't it?

00:32:22.000 And he's a good-looking lad.

00:32:23.000 Let's have a look at him.

00:32:24.000 Dan, go out there.

00:32:25.000 Go out there and let's have a look at these people.

00:32:26.000 He's a bright, good-looking lad.

00:32:28.000 Let us know in the chat what you think of him.

00:32:31.000 There he is.

00:32:31.000 Can we see him?

00:32:31.000 Can I see him in our monitor?

00:32:33.000 That's the back of his head.

00:32:34.000 Turn round, Jack, so we can see you.

00:32:36.000 Look, he's a good-looking lad.

00:32:39.000 So why won't he work just a little bit harder?

00:32:42.000 See who else there is.

00:32:43.000 Why did you not try a bit harder, Jack?

00:32:47.000 Oh, look at that.

00:32:49.000 Full sight.

00:32:49.000 There's young Putin in the background.

00:32:51.000 Many will remember him.

00:32:52.000 He looks like Putin as a young man.

00:32:54.000 Is that Phil or Joe that's in the front of the shot?

00:32:56.000 That's Phil, known as Bad Dad, running the show.

00:32:58.000 Young Victoria in the background.

00:33:00.000 Name of one of our great monarchs.

00:33:02.000 Yeah, Victoria Phantom.

00:33:04.000 Talking of ghostly apparitions, did you see that Princess Diana in the form of the Grim Reaper came back?

00:33:11.000 Check this out.

00:33:12.000 Get beyond that disgusting graphic that Jack's lazily created, probably while high on spice.

00:33:18.000 Some of these people say that the Grim Reaper appeared in the back of shot at Westminster Abbey during it.

00:33:24.000 have a look at this.

00:33:31.000 Was it?

00:33:32.000 Slowly now.

00:33:33.000 Easy does it.

00:33:34.000 That's the Grim Reaper!

00:33:35.000 Did you see that Grim Reaper right there?

00:33:36.000 Pretty spooky.

00:33:37.000 See?

00:33:38.000 Some people... Kamale says... What's going on there?

00:33:43.000 That's a weird thing.

00:33:44.000 It's a weird thing.

00:33:45.000 I suppose because it does look so much like fairy tales, you get swept up in it.

00:33:49.000 Ashella says, who was that really?

00:33:51.000 Ashella, we've just told you.

00:33:52.000 It's the ghost of Diana.

00:33:54.000 Alright?

00:33:55.000 Whoa, nothing, Jack Swiss, I saw that too.

00:33:58.000 Hey Russ, hey everyone.

00:33:59.000 That's not the sort of comment I should have read out, sorry.

00:34:01.000 I got caught up in that.

00:34:02.000 Should we have a, should we want to see some sensible analysis of the entire event before talking to a representative of the mainstream and like tormenting and teasing and loving on them a little?

00:34:13.000 Yep.

00:34:14.000 And then members of our locals community, we're going to do like some Q&A stuff later.

00:34:14.000 Do you want to see that?

00:34:18.000 We'll involve Subie. 1.00

00:34:19.000 Subie can do all the questions and stuff.

00:34:21.000 Some people said it's Queen Elizabeth back with a vengeance.

00:34:23.000 Now that's the sort of thing that they will use in their video.

00:34:26.000 He even at one point bizarrely suggested that the risen ghost of Queen Elizabeth II came back.

00:34:33.000 He will.

00:34:33.000 They will say that, won't they?

00:34:34.000 They won't do my sensible stuff about how we're all love and all that stuff.

00:34:37.000 Oh no.

00:34:37.000 No, of course they won't.

00:34:38.000 Hey, let's have a look at this.

00:34:40.000 What's the truth of the King Charles coronation?

00:34:43.000 Yeah, what's it really about?

00:34:45.000 What's being concealed by it?

00:34:47.000 What is it masking?

00:34:49.000 And that's it, really.

00:34:50.000 Is that it?

00:34:51.000 It's pretty good.

00:34:51.000 What are the best bits?

00:34:52.000 You made it with me.

00:34:54.000 What was a good bit?

00:34:55.000 We've got some cracking facts in there.

00:34:57.000 Cracking facts?

00:34:58.000 Cracking facts.

00:34:59.000 All right, Grandad.

00:35:00.000 Now, we all know you like facts.

00:35:02.000 We've got a cracking fact.

00:35:04.000 Do you know a baby swan is called a Suggsy?

00:35:04.000 Look at this fact.

00:35:08.000 Right, there'll be more cracking facts like that next Christmas!

00:35:11.000 Freemasons from Illuminate, so that's what people want, innit guys?

00:35:14.000 You want to see symbols, you want to hear Illuminati.

00:35:17.000 There's all of that, there's all of that.

00:35:18.000 There's that in there, is there?

00:35:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:35:20.000 I didn't do no Freemasons.

00:35:22.000 I put it in later.

00:35:23.000 Later on, after I'd finished, put a bit of Freemasons and Lizards.

00:35:26.000 Diana! 0.97

00:35:29.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:35:29.000 Here's the news.

00:35:32.000 No, here's the fucking news! 1.00

00:35:37.000 God save the king! 1.00

00:35:38.000 But what do you have to destroy in order to save the king?

00:35:42.000 Hmm?

00:35:45.000 Hello there you 6.4 million awakening wonders.

00:35:47.000 Thanks for joining us on this voyage to truth and freedom.

00:35:50.000 A truth and freedom that is already within you, waiting to be expressed communally, collectively and individually through open discourse, through banning censorship, through demanding free speech.

00:36:01.000 We can have conversations through which we will recognize we have more in common than divides us.

00:36:06.000 Take this subject of the coronation.

00:36:09.000 You might not be an English person, a British person, an Irish person even, and therefore not have strong opinions on this subject.

00:36:15.000 In fact, my opinions on the subject are somewhat ambiguous and ambivalent, but let's have a conversation about the nature of power, the nature of censorship, and are the monarchy a British hot-button topic like pro-life, pro-choice, and gun control in your country, America?

00:36:31.000 A subject that's used To divide people.

00:36:34.000 Turn on the notification bell right now and subscribe to our channel.

00:36:36.000 It's the only way we can be sure that we reach you every day with the content we make for you every single day.

00:36:42.000 Remember, we're interested in your opinion.

00:36:44.000 We value what you say. 0.96

00:36:46.000 That's why I was particularly offended to see that when the independent newspaper, a British newspaper, I say it's British, but it's significantly owned by Saudi Arabian interests, I reported on a broadcast we did last week and changed my words, saying Russell Brand calls the public stupid, silly, when in fact what I'd said was, we must be silly to continue to tolerate this, and then presented a bunch of questions. 0.88

00:37:08.000 Do you know why? 0.96

00:37:09.000 My wife likes the Royal Family.

00:37:11.000 My mother likes the royal family.

00:37:13.000 My mother-in-law likes the royal family.

00:37:15.000 My grandmother, God rest her soul, loved the royal family.

00:37:18.000 British people have it deep in our bones because of the wars, the pageantry, the significant things it represents.

00:37:24.000 Queen Elizabeth II's durability and duty are deeply stitched into the fabric of this country.

00:37:30.000 So I would never be flippant or frivolous. 0.98

00:37:32.000 Never would I label the public that I am a part of, the community that I belong to, the communities that I grew up in, as stupid because it simply means too much to me. 0.95

00:37:41.000 Why, then, would the independent change the language? 0.97

00:37:45.000 And what does that reveal?

00:37:46.000 If you change something where a person says, we must be silly, to you must be silly, that reveals an intention, doesn't it?

00:37:53.000 It means they have an opinion on me, I suppose, in particular in this instance, not that I'm suggesting that I'm particularly important, But they are trying to rile a certain group of people.

00:38:02.000 But I'm not alone in thinking that the coronation is perhaps a ceremony that is out of date.

00:38:09.000 In fact, let me know in the comments if you agree with this.

00:38:11.000 I see the coronation of King Charles as similar to the presidency of Joe Biden, unwittingly revealing that an institution is decaying and in need of radical revision.

00:38:23.000 And I also think that the 300 million pounds a year that the royal family cost us is nothing to the 35 billion pounds a year lost through tax evasion, and that the power that the royal family is nothing compared to the power that corporations are able to exert.

00:38:37.000 I think that what we need to address here is power, the nature of power, and uncontra symbols.

00:38:42.000 Let's have a look at events from the weekend.

00:38:44.000 At kick-off, as was the case at every Premier League game, the National Anthem was played to mark the coronation of King Charles.

00:38:51.000 As expected, there were widespread boos and jeers at Anfield.

00:38:54.000 Liverpool fans have been booing the National Anthem since at least the 1980s in protest against the establishment and its treatment of the city.

00:39:03.000 The treatment of the city they're referring to includes the Hillsborough disaster where it has been proven that in that instance the police lied and the Sun newspaper famously published a headline, the truth about Liverpool fans in which they lied, like newspapers regularly and ordinarily do in order to carry their own agenda.

00:39:21.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments if the booing of the Liverpool fans is a kind of indication that the decentralisation that we continually talk about on this channel is a necessity.

00:39:30.000 Would the people of Liverpool much rather run their own city and their own principality rather than being somehow tied to a centralised institution, whether that's monarchical or parliamentary?

00:39:40.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:39:47.000 Whatever else we learned from that clip, it shows you that a lot of people are querying

00:39:51.000 this coronation.

00:39:52.000 And again, to let you know my nuanced opinion, I don't think the monarchy is the most significant thing when it comes to corruption and lack of power for ordinary people.

00:40:01.000 I just think it's an indication of how these systems function.

00:40:04.000 But if you want to look at the history of the situation, the power of the British monarchy is derived from imperialism and colonialism.

00:40:12.000 In this country recently, we've had a conversation about removing the ships from the Manchester United and Manchester City badges.

00:40:19.000 Well, if you want to take the ships out of those badges, because of the connections to slavery that that indicates, you have to have an honest conversation about the royal family, don't you?

00:40:28.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments.

00:40:29.000 There was another procession along the Mall this morning.

00:40:33.000 The protesters marched away to the beat of the drum before the King had even left for the Abbey.

00:40:41.000 This comment from Giotti is fantastic.

00:40:43.000 This is one of the people that commented on our channel.

00:40:45.000 I just finished watching the coronation.

00:40:47.000 It made me cry, not in a good way, as I watched an elderly man and woman go through a ceremony as old as the country itself and at phenomenally eye-watering expense, to crown the oldest person ever to be crowned in the history of Britain and probably the world.

00:41:00.000 It made me think of his mother at her coronation and how young and strong and peachy fresh she was, filling the nation with hope and promise for the future as we recovered and rebuilt the country and the population after World War II.

00:41:11.000 My ineffable sadness was not relieved by the spectacle, the pageantry and the pomp of it all.

00:41:14.000 It made me think of the poverty stricken, the homeless, the trapped, the sick and the disabled, the mentally ill, the orphaned and the elderly.

00:41:21.000 So people who have affection for the royal family, people that revere Queen Elizabeth II, and you can watch our video on Queen Elizabeth II's passing here and judge for yourself whether I respect the monarchy and what it represents and the way that it's connected to ordinary British people.

00:41:35.000 But when you hear those Liverpool fans, when you see the poverty in this country, when you see that there's an energy crisis, while energy companies profit, while you see nurses and doctors and teachers striking just a couple of months after it was painting rainbows on the windows and they're our heroes and protect key workers, you have to recognise we are at a time of reckoning and conversation.

00:41:57.000 And when you see a newspaper attack someone who's We were arrested for having t-shirts and flags, she says.

00:42:01.000 it shows you the establishment, in this case Saudi Arabian owned, have an agenda.

00:42:06.000 Let me know what you think in the comments.

00:42:07.000 We were arrested for having t-shirts and flags, she says.

00:42:12.000 Officers have been given new powers this week to police protests.

00:42:17.000 Sorry?

00:42:17.000 What?

00:42:18.000 Oh, that's interesting.

00:42:20.000 You've given the police more power.

00:42:22.000 You're militarizing the police.

00:42:23.000 That's happening in America.

00:42:24.000 That's happening in Canada and all over the world.

00:42:27.000 New bills to censor you on social media and elsewhere, even for information you haven't published, are being passed in what are called the Five Eyes countries, thanks to the revelations of Edward Snowden, a man who's currently in Russia.

00:42:40.000 You have to recognize who your heroes are and who your heroes are not.

00:42:48.000 Low tolerance.

00:42:48.000 Wow!

00:42:49.000 Like the royal family, the police are funded by the public.

00:42:53.000 So what kind of dynamic does that suggest?

00:42:55.000 We're going to have low tolerance with you.

00:42:57.000 People that you disagree with should have the right to express themselves.

00:43:01.000 Should they?

00:43:01.000 Let me know in the comments in the chat.

00:43:02.000 The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police said tonight that the force is proud to have led the largest policing operation in decades.

00:43:13.000 Adding, God save the King, So that's extraordinary.

00:43:18.000 So on one level you might think that the coronation is frivolous, comparatively not expensive, and generally speaking is a symbol to bind the country together.

00:43:25.000 And I think that is what it should be.

00:43:27.000 Like the sadness in that comment, it should represent what the Queen did represent to people 50 years ago.

00:43:33.000 But now it seems to represent something different.

00:43:35.000 The ability to impose power, the ability to control dissent, the ability to censor when necessary, the ability to pass anti-protest laws, the ability to direct funding and taxes towards resources that benefit the elite establishment rather than ordinary people.

00:43:51.000 Good evening, Adriana.

00:43:53.000 It was cold and wet today.

00:43:55.000 The royal family's problems haven't gone away, and this country's still suffering through a cost-of-living crisis.

00:44:02.000 You wouldn't know it from the golden carriages.

00:44:04.000 But they managed to crown their king, and it's not every day you see that.

00:44:08.000 Thank God!

00:44:09.000 We couldn't bloody afford it!

00:44:12.000 The gilded gates of Buckingham Palace opened this morning.

00:44:16.000 Gilded gates, golden carriages, horses, this is expensive.

00:44:20.000 But the expense is not really the problem.

00:44:22.000 That expenditure, as we've said, is nothing compared to the corporate power exercised over your government in whatever country you're in, or the tax evasion of powerful corporations. 0.91

00:44:31.000 But it is a symbol of where power lies, and it is galling and ridiculous.

00:44:35.000 While there's a crisis around food and energy to have golden carriages parading through the streets that you're paying for.

00:44:43.000 The heavens opened but that couldn't stop Charles's march towards his destiny.

00:44:48.000 Well of course we're not going to say we're not going to cancel it because it's raining in England although the superstitious and the spiritual among us will say...

00:44:56.000 The Lord wept upon this day.

00:44:58.000 Through the heart of Westminster in central London, protected by over a thousand members of the British Armed Forces.

00:45:06.000 Oh, that's interesting.

00:45:07.000 A thousand members of the British Armed Forces.

00:45:10.000 So that's some considerable freight behind this meaningless fun symbol, isn't it?

00:45:15.000 You'll notice that the word serve was used a lot more than the word rule or reign.

00:45:20.000 That because Queen Elizabeth II in her durability, her endurance, her duty somehow embodied all of our grandmothers and their quiet ability to suck up a couple of world wars and still deliver an omelette has somehow been projected onto this archetypal symbolic central family.

00:45:38.000 Now talking of service has become a kind of bait and switch.

00:45:42.000 We're just serving you.

00:45:43.000 We're just serving you.

00:45:44.000 Serving us what?

00:45:45.000 Golden carriages that we can look at when half the population are bloody starving and can't keep the lights on?

00:45:51.000 I here present unto you King Charles, your undoubted king.

00:45:57.000 Can't doubt it.

00:45:58.000 Can't query it.

00:45:58.000 Can't question it.

00:45:59.000 God save King Charles.

00:46:03.000 God save King Charles.

00:46:05.000 And then the oath of office.

00:46:08.000 Your Majesty.

00:46:09.000 Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

00:46:16.000 Of course we know the power of the king is largely symbolic but here are a few interesting facts.

00:46:21.000 British monarchs are worth almost 28 billion dollars.

00:46:24.000 The royal family cost UK taxpayers around 300 million pounds every year.

00:46:28.000 King Charles's private fortune is estimated at 1.8 billion dollars.

00:46:33.000 Charles did not have to pay inheritance tax on his massive wealth he inherited from his late mother, including the Duchy of Lancaster, which brings in around 24 million dollars a year, with net assets of around 1.2 billion.

00:46:44.000 I don't even begrudge them all of that.

00:46:46.000 I just feel it's worth having a conversation about what that represents during a cost-of-living crisis, and that cost-of-living crisis is brought about by the control and management of resources, and our belief that things can't change and shouldn't change.

00:46:59.000 I'm simply offering you this possibility.

00:47:01.000 Things can change.

00:47:03.000 Do you not think that the people of Liverpool will be better off governing their own community?

00:47:06.000 I'm talking about entirely different economic models.

00:47:09.000 I'm talking about, in necessary instances, arresting technological process where it denies people jobs.

00:47:16.000 I'm talking about collectivising and localising the control of your own food resources.

00:47:21.000 Grow your own food, control your own energy, at the level of cities and principalities, democratically.

00:47:27.000 And if you think that's a crazy idea, have another look at this ceremony and we'll talk about what's crazy.

00:47:33.000 The most sacred part of the ceremony is the anointing, a tradition rooted in the Old Testament of the Bible.

00:47:40.000 Screened from view and using holy oil harvested from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Charles was anointed on his hands, chest and head.

00:47:49.000 What do you mean people could run their own communities and grow their own food?

00:47:52.000 Cuckoo! 0.59

00:47:53.000 Cuckoo! 0.59

00:47:54.000 Back to the anointing.

00:47:55.000 What's the anointing?

00:47:56.000 Well, we pour magic oil on the king's head, and then you can't pay your gas bill.

00:48:01.000 Could I have some of that magic oil? 0.99

00:48:03.000 I'm fucking freezing! 0.98

00:48:04.000 And this time, the ceremony represented a more diverse country than it's ever been before. 0.99

00:48:10.000 Today, the coronation included leaders from the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh traditions.

00:48:17.000 Look!

00:48:18.000 Look at the progress!

00:48:20.000 Can't you see those people in robes of the state have a variety of skin colours?

00:48:24.000 See?

00:48:25.000 Progress!

00:48:26.000 Now get down to the food bank and get yourself a celebratory feast and warm yourself up on some oil.

00:48:32.000 Could I have some of the anointed oil?

00:48:33.000 No, we need all of it for our diverse ceremony!

00:48:37.000 A symbol of covenant and peace.

00:48:39.000 It's a symbol of how power will shift and manoeuvre in order to continue to control.

00:48:45.000 That there is a willingness to be inclusive culturally, and I would say that is a good thing.

00:48:49.000 It's better than not doing it.

00:48:50.000 That's what I mean by it's a good thing.

00:48:52.000 But it doesn't actually change the lives of many, many ordinary people who cannot afford energy, who cannot afford food, who are funding wars abroad in the same way that colonialism and imperialism was founded.

00:49:03.000 We continue to fund wars through tax dollars in, for example, Ukraine, and it seems like we're agitating for one in Taiwan.

00:49:09.000 This is a new form of colonialism.

00:49:11.000 In terms of global economics, Britain is, I would say, broadly irrelevant.

00:49:14.000 Therefore, all of our institutions, in the macro, are somewhat irrelevant.

00:49:18.000 But symbolically, what you can read from these ceremonies is that power will manoeuvre and manipulate, supported by their allies in mainstream media, to keep ordinary people distracted, underserved, ill-informed.

00:49:31.000 Let me know what you think in the chat and the comments.

00:49:33.000 Do you read something from I'm not saying that you shouldn't like the monarchy.

00:49:35.000 Of course you do.

00:49:36.000 You've seen them all your life.

00:49:37.000 It's like Disney World.

00:49:38.000 You can criticize Disney World.

00:49:39.000 You go there, you'll probably have a good time.

00:49:40.000 It's been there all your life, on biscuit tins, on your money.

00:49:43.000 If you didn't feel anything about it, you'd be crazy.

00:49:45.000 I'm offering you, in a rational, secular society that's not meant to be religious anymore, that's meant to be based on enlightenment values, Is this the best way for British people to spend their resources and to spend their attention?

00:49:58.000 Or is it being used to distract us from the fact that whether you voted in our country, Conservative or Labour, you're going to end up with the same sort of deal?

00:50:04.000 Is it being used to distract you from the fact that a couple of years ago there was a massive wealth transfer, loads of businesses got shut down, nurses, teachers and doctors were called heroes and applauded, and now just a couple of years later they can't get the minuscule rises and decent working conditions that they're willing to go on strike for?

00:50:20.000 You have to look at these things collectively.

00:50:22.000 That's all I'm inviting you to do.

00:50:24.000 Remember, we don't think we're better than you.

00:50:25.000 We learn from you.

00:50:26.000 We care about you.

00:50:28.000 King Charles waited for this moment for seven decades.

00:50:28.000 They don't.

00:50:32.000 The longest apprenticeship in British royal history.

00:50:36.000 Also, a pretty good wage for an apprenticeship.

00:50:38.000 1.2 billion, 125 million a year.

00:50:41.000 Some people earn five pounds an hour.

00:50:43.000 I get an hour off for a sandwich at lunch, plus enough time to pop to the food bank.

00:50:48.000 Finally, St.

00:50:49.000 Edward's crown was lowered onto his head.

00:50:53.000 God save the king!

00:50:55.000 He don't even look like he's that into it, does he?

00:50:57.000 He's like a normal person.

00:50:58.000 I actually shook hands with King Charles, as he now must be known, once.

00:51:02.000 And this is not a personal attack on individuals or human beings.

00:51:04.000 They didn't ask to be them any more than you asked to be you.

00:51:07.000 I'm simply inviting us to have a conversation about the way that power, wealth and revenue are distributed and the potential for amending systems in a way that seems to be trying to be born.

00:51:17.000 In the same way that you can witness that these ceremonies and institutions are being held up with incredible effort.

00:51:24.000 6,000 armed police.

00:51:26.000 You can see from the anger in Liverpool that people want decentralised power and control over their own resources.

00:51:31.000 Let me know in the chat in the comments if you agree.

00:51:33.000 Crafted from 22 carat gold in the 1600s, the crown's trimmed with ermine and festooned with over 400 precious stones, including rubies and sapphires.

00:51:46.000 I like that they're impressed by how much gold and sapphires are.

00:51:49.000 Of course they weigh a lot.

00:51:50.000 Shall we have a look at where those diamonds and sapphires came from and if there's any connection to colonialism, imperialism, slavery right now on the king's head.

00:51:58.000 The crown's only used for coronations.

00:52:01.000 Charles will likely never wear it again.

00:52:04.000 Under the price, that's right!

00:52:06.000 Queen Camilla was also crowned and anointed today.

00:52:11.000 Once reviled in this country, Charles' mistress, hated by the public, she's worked hard to improve her image since they wed nearly 20 years ago. 0.88

00:52:21.000 One weird sentence worked hard to improve her image.

00:52:24.000 Like, the hatred, I think, or the anger or the mistrust is always there and it's kept down by careful management and crushing of dissent.

00:52:32.000 That's why I'm mentioning that The Independent changed what I said in order to attack me, not just because it personally slighted me, although that is part of it because I'm a human being.

00:52:39.000 But also because they, in order to shut down dissent, they'll change what you said to something else so they can attack you and bring down any dissenting voices.

00:52:48.000 Camilla's worked hard, just means there's been an ongoing PR campaign. 1.00

00:52:51.000 There's nothing wrong with Camilla.

00:52:53.000 I'm not attacking Camilla.

00:52:53.000 She's an ordinary person.

00:52:55.000 They fell in love.

00:52:55.000 She deserves to be happy.

00:52:56.000 They're normal people.

00:52:57.000 Nothing wrong with any of that, except for you're paying for it, and it's a symbol of hegemonic power and also a symbol of you cannot change things.

00:53:06.000 Things are the way they are.

00:53:07.000 The King and Queen left the Abbey dressed in their purple robes of estate.

00:53:13.000 Escorted by nearly 4,000 military personnel.

00:53:17.000 Subtext?

00:53:18.000 4,000 military personnel? 1.00

00:53:19.000 This is here to stay or we'll fucking shoot you. 1.00

00:53:23.000 The monarchy as an institution still has overwhelming support in this country. 1.00

00:53:28.000 Does it?

00:53:28.000 Take a trip to Anfield, baby!

00:53:30.000 Again, I don't have a really a strong opinion.

00:53:33.000 I just have an inquiring mind like you.

00:53:35.000 I just want to understand the truth and I'm serious.

00:53:38.000 When I talk about changing the world, for me, it's not like, yeah, we've really got to change the world in ways that doesn't affect the interests of the powerful.

00:53:44.000 No, you have to look at power.

00:53:46.000 Power is what ordains the way that life is governed.

00:53:49.000 That's what power means.

00:53:50.000 Notably absent from the balcony were Harry and Meghan, as well as the king's disgraced brother, Prince Andrew.

00:53:56.000 Hmm.

00:53:57.000 But the crowds today came to celebrate the monarchy and witness history in the making.

00:54:05.000 It is an amazing spectacle.

00:54:13.000 It does look incredible.

00:54:15.000 It is fascinating.

00:54:16.000 History, pageantry, tradition, these are all wonderful things, but I feel that they are things that we could access in our own lives and our own community for better value.

00:54:25.000 Again, I don't think that the royal family is the centre of the problem.

00:54:28.000 I don't think it's the most significant problem that we're facing right now.

00:54:32.000 I see it primarily as a symbol of intransigence, i.e.

00:54:35.000 things are this way, they must remain this way.

00:54:38.000 Note that new protest laws were introduced simultaneously.

00:54:42.000 Note that around the world new censorship laws are being lobbied for, so that channels for free speech, like this one, can be shut down, monitored and controlled.

00:54:50.000 And note even that my modest critiques of the royal family were altered so they became aggressive attacks on ordinary people.

00:54:58.000 Isn't that interesting?

00:55:00.000 Why do you think they want to do that?

00:55:01.000 Because they want to turn us against one another so they can continue to be a Saudi Arabia funded newspaper with the ridiculous name The Independent so that during the pandemic we can be told that we're all in this together while the country in the world is torn apart.

00:55:15.000 So that doctors and teachers can be marched like lambs to the slaughter into workplaces that may have been unsafe for all we knew at the beginning of the pandemic, only to be abandoned when they go on strike for reasonable working-paying conditions just a couple of months later.

00:55:30.000 What I'm talking about here is real principles and real values.

00:55:33.000 I know you have them because I learned them from you.

00:55:35.000 I learned them alongside you.

00:55:37.000 I grew up in communities that love the royal family.

00:55:39.000 I went to street parties as a little boy.

00:55:41.000 And I've got nothing against those individuals.

00:55:44.000 In my own family right now, in my own house, there are people that love the royals.

00:55:47.000 I'm saying that in a democracy, people should have open conversations about power.

00:55:51.000 Of course the wealth of the royal family is nothing compared to corporate power in our country, America and all around the world.

00:55:57.000 But symbols of power are part of power and must always be reviewed and scrutinized.

00:56:02.000 But that's just what I think.

00:56:03.000 Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat.

00:56:05.000 See you in a second.

00:56:06.000 Thanks for choosing Fox News.

00:56:08.000 Good day. 1.00

00:56:09.000 Here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:56:09.000 No. 1.00

00:56:11.000 I know you.

00:56:13.000 You'd like to drop those leftover pandemic pounds that you put on during the pandemic because you were sad inside because of the pandemic.

00:56:20.000 But how sick are you also of all the ads for weight loss pills and fad diets that probably don't even work anyway and might make your feet change colour?

00:56:28.000 I've been there.

00:56:29.000 They don't work.

00:56:29.000 I've done that.

00:56:30.000 They're a con.

00:56:30.000 They're a trick.

00:56:31.000 It's skullduggery.

00:56:32.000 Do you know what actually works?

00:56:33.000 Eating five healthy servings of fruit and vegetables every single day.

00:56:37.000 But who among us has time to prepare that every single day?

00:56:42.000 This brings us around to Field of Greens.

00:57:27.000 See it first on Rumble.

00:57:30.000 Donnie Mack goes, it would have been better if Charlie, the king, had put one of his fat sausage fingers in a roll and fed them to the rest of the royals so he can't get his hands on even more stolen gem gems from around the world.

00:57:44.000 Hashtag not my king.

00:57:45.000 That's Donnie Mack.

00:57:47.000 Think about that.

00:57:47.000 Well, I wonder if they'd have enjoyed that, the other royals.

00:57:50.000 It'd be a bit where you're biting through bone.

00:57:52.000 Tonebird at Tonebird.

00:57:54.000 I didn't watch it.

00:57:55.000 I'm not a fan of pomp and circumstance.

00:57:57.000 That's what they reckon. 0.99

00:57:58.000 And then as a response to that bit where we played that Wipe Your Vagina, Camilla, or whatever that bit was, the blessed old bird goes, isn't it Regina? 1.00

00:58:10.000 It is that. 0.99

00:58:10.000 Of course it is. 0.99

00:58:12.000 And that takes Bless your bird, just take the fun out of it! 0.99

00:58:15.000 You take the fun out of it, Lotus Mother, I think you're fucking brilliant. 0.99

00:58:18.000 Thanks, mate. 0.93

00:58:19.000 Pride Feltz, Foltz, I didn't, excuse me, Pride Feltz, I didn't watch it either.

00:58:23.000 Just reading some of the ones in Locals that are going by right now.

00:58:26.000 You can be a member of our Locals community.

00:58:28.000 Before we go to our guest, who is literally, literally, Gareth, and you know I'm not one to exaggerate, am I?

00:58:35.000 Never.

00:58:36.000 She is the owner of the largest collection of royal memorabilia in Australia.

00:58:40.000 She's been brought over to our country by the British media, and then they've left her in a porter cabin and made her miss the best bits! 0.89

00:58:46.000 But before that, a person who has got something to complain about when it comes to lockdowns is Julian Assange.

00:58:51.000 And I was going to read his letter, because I forgot to read it earlier, and it's important.

00:58:54.000 So I'm just going to read it.

00:58:55.000 I've got it.

00:58:55.000 I found it.

00:58:56.000 What's that?

00:58:57.000 Oh, no.

00:58:57.000 Oh, there it is.

00:58:58.000 I want me pudding!

00:58:59.000 I want me pudding!

00:59:00.000 Right.

00:59:01.000 Oh, that's from a sitcom called Bread.

00:59:04.000 To his majesty king charles iii on the coronation of my liege i thought it only fit in to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to commemorate this momentous occasion by visiting your very own kingdom within a kingdom his majesty's prison belmarsh that's where sanji's held you will no doubt recall the wise words of a renowned playwright the quality of mercy is not strained it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath i wonder what renowned playwright that is Ah, oh, it's the Bard, it's Shakespeare.

00:59:33.000 Ah, but what would that Bard know of mercy faced with the reckoning at dawn of your historic reign?

00:59:39.000 After all, one can truly know the measure of a society by how it treats its prisoners, and your kingdom has surely excelled in that regard.

00:59:47.000 Your Majesty's prison, Belmarsh, is located at the prestigious address of One Western Way, London, just a short fox hunt from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.

00:59:56.000 How delightful it must be to have such an esteemed establishment bear your name.

01:00:01.000 It is here that 687 of your loyal subjects are held, supporting the United Kingdom's record as the nation with the largest prison population in Western Europe.

01:00:09.000 As your noble government has recently declared, your kingdom is currently undergoing the biggest expansion of prison places in over a century, with its ambitious projections showing an increase of the prison population from 82,000 to 106,000 within the next four years.

01:00:23.000 Quite the legacy indeed.

01:00:24.000 Why are we not Wow.

01:00:25.000 Told this sort of thing about expanding the prison population.

01:00:27.000 Did you know that?

01:00:28.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments.

01:00:29.000 Does this happen in the UK and in the US?

01:00:32.000 We're banging up our own.

01:00:32.000 We're doing it.

01:00:33.000 We're banging up our own.

01:00:34.000 How can we have feelings of patriotism and celebration of the icons of our power and of our nation when people are treated so poorly?

01:00:45.000 That's a genuine question.

01:00:45.000 I don't know.

01:00:46.000 Let me know in the chat.

01:00:47.000 As a political prisoner held at your majesty's pleasure on behalf of an embarrassed foreign sovereign, I'm honored to reside within the walls of this world-class institution.

01:00:57.000 Truly your kingdom knows no bounds.

01:00:59.000 During your visit you will have the opportunity to feast upon the culinary delights prepared for your loyal subjects on a generous budget of two pounds per day.

01:01:06.000 Savor the blended tuna heads and the ubiquitous reconstituted forms that are purportedly made from chicken.

01:01:13.000 And worry not, for unlike lesser institutions such as Alcatraz or San Quentin, there is no communal dining in a mess hall.

01:01:20.000 At Belmarsh, prisoners dine alone in their cells, ensuring the utmost intimacy with meals.

01:01:26.000 This is pretty heavy, guys.

01:01:28.000 I'm sorry about this, but, you know, what did we want?

01:01:30.000 I mean, this is a letter by a political prisoner to a newly anointed monarch.

01:01:36.000 And really, All of that pageantry and ceremony is the framing of power, the lack of dissent, the inability to offer dissenting opinions.

01:01:46.000 And again, let me reiterate, I don't think monarchy is a huge problem or the abolition of the monarchy the solution, but symbols of power and the inability to critique power is a significant part of the problem.

01:02:00.000 Beyond the gustatory pleasures I can assure you that Belmarsh provides ample educational opportunities for your subjects as Proverbs 22.6 has it, train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

01:02:13.000 Observe the shuffling queues at the medicine hatch where inmates gather their prescriptions not for daily use but for the horizon expanding experience of a big day out all at once.

01:02:23.000 You will also have the opportunity to pay your respects to my late friend Manuel Santos, a gay man facing deportation to Bolsonaro's Brazil, who took his own life just eight yards from my cell using a crude rope fashioned from his bedsheets, his exquisite tenor voice now silenced forever.

01:02:39.000 Venture further into the depths of Belmarsh and you will find the most isolated place within its walls.

01:02:44.000 Healthcare, or Hellcare as its inhabitants lovingly call it.

01:02:47.000 Here you will marvel at sensible rules designed for everyone's safety such as the prohibition of chess whilst permitting the far less dangerous game of checkers.

01:02:55.000 Deep within Hellcare lies the most gloriously uplifting place in all Belmarsh, nay the whole of the United Kingdom.

01:03:01.000 The sublimely named Belmarsh End of Life Suite.

01:03:03.000 Listen closely and you may hear the prisoner's cries of brother I'm gonna die in here.

01:03:08.000 A testament to the quality of both life and death within your prison.

01:03:12.000 But fear not, for there is beauty to be found within these walls.

01:03:14.000 Feast your eyes upon the picturesque crows nesting in the razor wire, and the hundreds of hungry rats that call Belmarsh home.

01:03:22.000 And if you come in the spring, you may even catch a glimpse of the ducklings laid by the wayward mallards within the prison grounds.

01:03:28.000 But don't delay, for the ravenous rats ensure their lives are fleeting.

01:03:32.000 I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty's prison, Belmarsh, for it is an honour befitting a king.

01:03:37.000 As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible, blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy, that's Matthew 5-7, and may mercy be the guiding light of your kingdom, both within and without the walls of Belmarsh, your most devoted subject to Julian Assange.

01:03:53.000 It's pretty heavy.

01:03:53.000 God.

01:03:54.000 It's heavy.

01:03:55.000 The thing that you were talking about in the presentation earlier, you know, you have nothing against necessarily King Charles or any of the royal family.

01:04:03.000 They're just people.

01:04:04.000 They're just born into this in the same way that we're born into our lives.

01:04:07.000 Well, Julian Assange wasn't born into that life.

01:04:10.000 He was put into that life.

01:04:12.000 He was put away illegally for something that shouldn't be illegal, what he shouldn't be there for at all.

01:04:19.000 And so it's an interesting way to, you know, an interesting counterpoint to what we're kind of talking about here.

01:04:26.000 Yes, we're all put in various lives.

01:04:29.000 We're born into this.

01:04:29.000 You're either born to be a royal or you're born to be a normal peasant.

01:04:34.000 Or your Julian Assange who does something which is legal and gets put away for the rest of his life.

01:04:40.000 It's cruel.

01:04:41.000 It's so cruel.

01:04:42.000 It's cruel and it's illegal and it's not unrelated to the ceremonies that we witness whether it's Biden appearing in Poland to talk about Ukraine lit in blue and yellow as if war is a spectacle and entertainment.

01:04:57.000 The business of power is war.

01:05:01.000 The enactment of that power is violence.

01:05:04.000 It will always be violence, whether it's the violation of Assange's rights or the ongoing violence required to sustain the military-industrial complex.

01:05:11.000 But to make sure this is so, Julian Assange, may he be freed soon.

01:05:13.000 May he be freed soon.

01:05:15.000 May the people in positions of power see the negligence of their current stance and release Julian Assange, and you should participate in that.

01:05:24.000 Spurring that on in any way that you can, and we'll find ways that we can help Stella, his wife, and the leader of the campaign with that campaign.

01:05:31.000 But so we don't end, let's not end on too dour of a note, because we're meant to have a bit of a laugh, aren't we, for God's sake?

01:05:36.000 Julian Assange wouldn't want us going down on a bummer.

01:05:38.000 I don't mean that in prison parlance, by the way.

01:05:41.000 I mean, he literally puts jokes in this letter.

01:05:43.000 There's a couple of jokes in there.

01:05:44.000 There was one about the rats and stuff, and that was a bit depressing.

01:05:48.000 Now let's take a glance and in a minute we're going to go over to locals.

01:05:52.000 You should join us in locals where we can read many more of your... some people saying that that letter was heart-wrenching.

01:05:56.000 Yeah, it did wrench the old heart, didn't it mate?

01:05:59.000 Jan Hugo, the owner of Australia's largest collection of royal, excuse me, memt... belches and memorabilia.

01:05:59.000 Let's have a look now.

01:06:08.000 But I want you to pay attention to see how many things that are Diana related.

01:06:12.000 You can see in the background because I'm going to be asking her about that in a second and I'll be talking to you in a minute.

01:06:15.000 Jan Hugo.

01:06:16.000 Let's have a look at her on Normal News now. 0.99

01:06:18.000 Jan Hugo's royal memorabilia collection has long been her crowning achievement, but it's about to be topped.

01:06:26.000 We're heading off to the coronation.

01:06:28.000 Why is Jan using that picture of King Charles that's based on like a Ralph Steadman satire, the spitting image puppet version, and what are these Diana and Charles slippers that you slide your tootsies into?

01:06:38.000 I'm going to ask Jan about those.

01:06:40.000 We're in the UK.

01:06:41.000 I heard it at eight o'clock in the morning.

01:06:44.000 Nine o'clock, I was on the phone to the travel agent.

01:06:46.000 By lunchtime, had the house sitters all ready, all the flights, all the accommodation all done.

01:06:53.000 Okay, let's have a look at Jan Hugo.

01:06:55.000 She's here in the UK right now.

01:06:57.000 All right, Jan.

01:06:58.000 Hi Russell, how are you?

01:07:01.000 I'm good, thanks mate.

01:07:02.000 Have you been having a good time at the coronation?

01:07:04.000 Did you get enough access?

01:07:05.000 What's your best souvenir you've got so far?

01:07:09.000 Oh, look, we've had a ball.

01:07:10.000 We got parked right at the gates of Buckingham Palace.

01:07:15.000 We saw the coach come out and Camilla was on our side, so she waved.

01:07:21.000 And I've got a suitcase full of things to take home.

01:07:24.000 What do you like about the Royal Family, mate?

01:07:29.000 Look, it all started mainly with the history of it all.

01:07:32.000 And then, of course, Diana come along and we just adored Diana.

01:07:36.000 And she probably was the one that got me hooked.

01:07:39.000 Yeah, she got a lot of us hooked, did Diana.

01:07:41.000 I'm still not over that.

01:07:42.000 Mate, I want to ask you a serious question, I think.

01:07:45.000 Firstly, did the BBC bundle you off into a porter cabin and make you miss the best bits? 1.00

01:07:51.000 No, look, they took us over to the spot where we were supposed to stay for the interview.

01:07:56.000 It started to rain, so they then bundled us back to a cabin to keep us dry, and the cabin was closer to the gates.

01:08:06.000 Right, so you see enough royal stuff.

01:08:08.000 What about though, can I ask you this question?

01:08:10.000 And just tell me your honest answer, of course.

01:08:12.000 Like, when, you know, you're Australian, Julian Assange is Australian, how do you feel about hearing that appeal by Julian Assange?

01:08:19.000 And do you ever think that while royalty is presented as kind of just a bit of a laugh and it's fun and it's glamorous and it's cool, that sometimes it is used to mask power and to make people look I don't really know the answer to that.

01:08:40.000 I've never really, you know, thought about it too much politically like you have.

01:08:44.000 I've sort of learned a lot since I've turned you on at five o'clock.

01:08:51.000 I've learned an awful lot.

01:08:53.000 But no, I look at it as more as just being a collector.

01:08:58.000 Not so much on the political side of any of it.

01:09:01.000 Me and all, sometimes I have things, I can't think like this all the time, I go nuts.

01:09:04.000 Like when I'm trying to watch football or whatever, I try not to do me own head in by thinking about it too intentionally, but I do get caught up in it.

01:09:10.000 Hey, what bit of Australia are you in?

01:09:13.000 We live in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.

01:09:16.000 What are them like, miners and stuff?

01:09:16.000 New South Wales.

01:09:18.000 Yes, my husband works in the mines.

01:09:21.000 What type of mines, mate?

01:09:23.000 At coal mines?

01:09:24.000 Yeah, he's coal mining down there.

01:09:25.000 Now, I met this person, and this is not a joke, he was known by the name of Pearl Knob, and he'd done diving down there, and he said, with the native folks of Australia, the Aborigines, and it was their custom, if I may say, to keep a pearl somewhere within the private reproductive organ of the male, and he had one, and he showed me it.

01:09:46.000 Is this common practice in the nation of Australia, or did I mix with an oddball?

01:09:52.000 I think you may have.

01:09:53.000 I've never heard of that before.

01:09:55.000 That's the first time ever.

01:09:56.000 Right, I've been tricked.

01:09:58.000 I think so.

01:09:59.000 Very much like the one you did on the BBC.

01:10:01.000 I just took the BBC's notes and recreated them.

01:10:03.000 Word for word verbatim.

01:10:05.000 But on the BBC, did they say, I bet, right, I can do the BBC interview.

01:10:09.000 You think I'm not mainstream?

01:10:10.000 I'll do mainstream.

01:10:11.000 Right, on BBC, I bet they said, did you like their outfits?

01:10:15.000 Did you like someone's hat or something like that?

01:10:17.000 And did you like Penny Mordant having that sword?

01:10:19.000 I didn't say that because I saw Jan on the BBC.

01:10:21.000 All right, go on then, Jan.

01:10:22.000 What was their best?

01:10:23.000 And who's better, me or them?

01:10:25.000 Say me.

01:10:26.000 Oh, definitely you.

01:10:27.000 What else would I say?

01:10:30.000 Pitch some of your TAT to Jan.

01:10:33.000 What TAT?

01:10:34.000 You've got some stuff in your house.

01:10:36.000 See if Jan might be interested in any of it.

01:10:37.000 It's not TAT.

01:10:38.000 Sorry, I didn't mean TAT.

01:10:40.000 Some of my collectibles.

01:10:40.000 Collectibles.

01:10:42.000 What, related to the royals?

01:10:43.000 Tell Jan some of your collectibles.

01:10:45.000 Your royal stuff.

01:10:46.000 Have you got your grandmother's biscuits in?

01:10:48.000 Oh, I'll tell you, mate.

01:10:49.000 I've got some good ones.

01:10:50.000 I've got some that they won't be making.

01:10:53.000 I've got Fergie and Andrew, like, cups and stuff like that.

01:10:57.000 Yeah, but I've got a few of those.

01:10:59.000 She's got it.

01:10:59.000 I've got like, I've got King Edward and that.

01:11:03.000 She's got that.

01:11:03.000 Cups, like going back a few years.

01:11:07.000 As in King Edward VIII?

01:11:09.000 I don't know.

01:11:09.000 Is it?

01:11:10.000 It's about the one that's the King's... What's the one that's the Queen's mum?

01:11:13.000 The Queen's dad, I mean.

01:11:15.000 I've got plenty of those too. 0.55

01:11:17.000 Bloody hell.

01:11:18.000 I'm not going to get in a memorabilia contest.

01:11:18.000 Go on, keep going.

01:11:21.000 You said you'd win in a contest.

01:11:22.000 You told me earlier you'd win in a contest with Jan. 1.00

01:11:25.000 You've sent me into a shit fight armed with a fart, my man. 0.99

01:11:28.000 And that doesn't surprise me, the way you spend your barbecue Fridays. 0.99

01:11:32.000 What about the Andrew thing you've got?

01:11:33.000 Go on.

01:11:34.000 All right, do you know what I think?

01:11:35.000 Some of my... All right, I had a Royal Daughton Charles and Die.

01:11:39.000 Like, little blue plate like that.

01:11:42.000 Yes.

01:11:42.000 Got plenty of Charles and Diana.

01:11:44.000 There's a whole room full of Diana and Charles.

01:11:46.000 I did, yes.

01:11:47.000 Until I met Camilla.

01:11:49.000 And I will say, she's a lovely person.

01:11:51.000 Miller and I will say she's a lovely person. Don't be swayed for God's sake Jan. No she's really really nice.

01:11:59.000 No she's cool she's nice she's a human being I've got mates that are mates with her and they say 0.74

01:12:03.000 she's well nice of course she is human being she's a child of God I love all of God's children.

01:12:07.000 What's your best bit of memorabilia both from an expense perspective and from just your favourite you know.

01:12:15.000 Oh, gee, there's so many pieces that I love.

01:12:19.000 You know, there's so many royal gold figurines.

01:12:21.000 I want you to imagine there's a fire, not in Australia, because I know that's a terrible evocative issue for the Australians, because you have them too bloody often, frankly.

01:12:28.000 While you're here in England, you've bought your cherished pieces here.

01:12:33.000 There's a fire, and it's the fault of, like, just, I don't know, a negligent Gas Board official probably working for a terrorist organisation.

01:12:40.000 We don't need the backstory of the fire.

01:12:42.000 In the fire, you have to grab your most cherished piece.

01:12:46.000 You've only time for one.

01:12:47.000 Jan, I urge you, with God as my witness, what is it?

01:12:51.000 Look, I don't know.

01:12:52.000 We had a fire probably two years ago.

01:12:55.000 It was five houses away.

01:12:57.000 The fire brigade said, quick, get in there, get ready to pack up in case you've got to get out.

01:13:03.000 And I ran inside and took one look and threw my arms up and went, oh my God, I don't know where to start.

01:13:08.000 Where did you start?

01:13:09.000 I can't even answer.

01:13:11.000 We left a lot of it. 0.85

01:13:13.000 You're a nihilist!

01:13:16.000 Jan, you've got to pick one.

01:13:17.000 Look, I saw up on there some plates of Diana.

01:13:20.000 Why do you use that Prince Charles head that's a satire of him?

01:13:26.000 That's a mask that I got from England last time we were here.

01:13:30.000 It's just put over a mannequin to make it look like Charles.

01:13:37.000 No, it's not Charles.

01:13:37.000 Charles, did you?

01:13:39.000 I'm just saying it's spoofing him.

01:13:40.000 Oh, right.

01:13:41.000 It's spoofing him.

01:13:41.000 Sounded like you were saying you thought it was Charles.

01:13:44.000 Jan, have you seen the adult entertainment toys that are available to look like Kate or the other one that Harry's married to, Meghan?

01:13:53.000 No, I have not.

01:13:54.000 There are them.

01:13:55.000 And would you consider that or is that bad taste?

01:13:58.000 Yeah, I don't think I would put those in the cabinet for everybody to see.

01:14:02.000 No.

01:14:03.000 It's bad taste.

01:14:03.000 You're right.

01:14:04.000 I shouldn't even ask that.

01:14:04.000 I don't know.

01:14:05.000 That's him pushing me into weird territory.

01:14:07.000 All right.

01:14:08.000 Do you think we've done a good job of this?

01:14:10.000 Is it better than the BBC?

01:14:12.000 Oh, definitely.

01:14:13.000 You're there.

01:14:14.000 I love you, Jan.

01:14:15.000 Thanks, mate.

01:14:17.000 Thanks for coming on and thanks for spending a bit of time helping us get over the horrible tragedy of Julian Assange's illegal imprisonment with a bit of lightness and a bit of fun.

01:14:28.000 Okay.

01:14:28.000 Thanks for having us on.

01:14:30.000 See you later, Jan.

01:14:30.000 Bye-bye, mate.

01:14:31.000 Take care.

01:14:32.000 Bye.

01:14:33.000 See you later.

01:14:33.000 Bye-bye.

01:14:34.000 I like Jan, don't you?

01:14:35.000 She's absolutely adorable.

01:14:37.000 Oh, don't go straight to the sex dolls. 1.00

01:14:39.000 Who's done that in the gallery? 0.53

01:14:40.000 They've gone straight to the sex dolls!

01:14:43.000 For God's sake, should we go look?

01:14:44.000 We better go over to Locals, right?

01:14:46.000 Now, if you're watching us on Rumble now, go on to Locals.

01:14:49.000 It's still free, it's just you're a member of a community where we get... I don't know what the advantage of it is.

01:14:53.000 We can give you paid content.

01:14:55.000 I think that's the point of it, innit?

01:14:56.000 Why are you looking at me like that for?

01:14:58.000 No, I was just... It was a very entertaining... About Jan?

01:15:00.000 Yeah, Jan.

01:15:01.000 This is about Jan!

01:15:02.000 You and Jan.

01:15:03.000 That's probably the last thing she does before she leaves this country. 1.00

01:15:06.000 She had a lovely time.

01:15:07.000 Why did I ask her about Julian Assange and the sex dolls? 0.75

01:15:09.000 Get out! 0.99

01:15:10.000 I went mad!

01:15:13.000 Yeah, a little bit.

01:15:15.000 We've got RFK on the show tomorrow if you've got any questions for him.

01:15:19.000 The RFK is coming on this week.

01:15:20.000 When is RFK coming on?

01:15:22.000 Tomorrow.

01:15:23.000 We've got RFK tomorrow.

01:15:24.000 They're asking in the chat.

01:15:25.000 Pride Faults. 0.99

01:15:26.000 Mr. Bean's sex toy. 0.99

01:15:27.000 I can't even think of a context for that. 0.99

01:15:28.000 Tomorrow on Locals.

01:15:30.000 That's why to be on Locals.

01:15:31.000 Check this.

01:15:32.000 If you're a member of the Locals community, not only can you join us now for additional chat with another Australian, Hugh Rimmington from 10 First News.

01:15:39.000 We're going to talk about mainstream media.

01:15:41.000 Don't grin, gal. 1.00

01:15:42.000 I'm trying my hardest here.

01:15:44.000 You can also join the RFK chat live.

01:15:44.000 Right.

01:15:46.000 That means Soobz will have to be with me to pass on your questions. 0.99

01:15:49.000 Proper questions. 0.99
