On this episode of the podcast, we have a special guest on the show to discuss the UK's plans to lower the voting age to 16, and why this is a terrible idea. We also hear from a British guy who doesn't know anything about politics.
00:20:20.340So, you know, we're not, we're not quite Canada levels, but we're getting there.
00:20:23.820As far as the reason why right-wing parties haven't grown up, the, uh, luxury beliefs and, uh, instinctive liberalism strangle the established right-wing, like, Japanese knotweed.
00:20:38.060Like, getting these people to even identify the English as a distinct ethnic and cultural group to whom the state should owe allegiance above all others is impossible.
00:20:47.120Um, but there is a, there is a growing influential online right-wing that have a lot of credible faces and some politicians in the Conservative Party, which should be getting desperate enough now to realize that their strategy hasn't worked for many years.
00:21:02.040And, and they are just cratering into obsolescence, have started to pay attention, uh, Robert Jenrick, Nick Timothy, Katie Lam.
00:21:08.860But again, there are only, there are only three or four and they're not anywhere near power because the current head of the Conservative Party, a nice woman that I'm sure she is, is very unpopular and is a first generation immigrant who in her first speech in Parliament campaigned to lift visa caps on students and workers.
00:21:24.820So she is partially responsible for this situation.
00:21:27.480Um, as far as the leading party in the polls go, Reform UK at the moment, so yesterday, Nigel Farage, who in recent months, ever since the election, has said mass deportations are a political impossibility and it's not as ambition, has said that if we politically alienate Islam by 2050, we will lose, and has said he is to the left of the country and Robert Jenrick of the Conservatives on migration.
00:21:49.720Yesterday, I think he's understood, uh, possibly, that this is a really bad strategy, and came out and said, we are now committing to deporting every illegal immigrant in Britain, uh, we are now a net negative migration party, uh, and also we are going to ban foreign nationals from receiving benefits.
00:22:08.600Now, that's the thinnest possible end of the wedge.
00:22:10.800It's encouraging messaging, but they've still got no policies to this.
00:22:14.140And, and, and, but promises are not worth much in politics.
00:22:17.260I'm, I'm happy to hear their damascene conversion, uh, but I need to know how they're going to do it before I invest in them.
00:22:23.240The last person to mention, uh, is Rupert Lowe, who is the former MP of Reform, one of their first five, who was kicked out by Reform's Muslim chairman, um, who he, he falsely accused Rupert Lowe of making death threats against him, and the police raided Lowe's house, took all his guns.
00:22:38.620This guy's a 67-year-old granddad with a spotless record.
00:22:45.180He's not got a party, um, but he's launched a movement called Restore Britain, which is a sort of, uh, a PAC or a pressure group is probably the closest analogy for, for America.
00:22:54.260And they're already promising to bring back the death penalty, to repeal all the speech laws, to conduct mass deportations, and to be net negative on migration.
00:23:01.980And even if he's not in a party, if he can force the other parties to, to catch up to him, uh, Britain will be in a much healthier place come 2029.
00:23:13.680But, uh, we've seen these videos, right?
00:23:15.260There was a lady who closed her eyes outside of an abortion clinic, and she got arrested.
00:23:19.320The, the, the speech laws in the UK seem, it's, it's been going on for how long now?
00:23:23.520I mean, at least, at least a decade or longer, right?
00:23:25.320Uh, it's been going on quite a bit longer than that.
00:23:28.040You're referring to, uh, uh, Isabel Vaughn-Spruce, who, alongside Adam Smith, Connor, uh, are clients of, of ADF, uh, uh, law firm that I've, I've spoken with and gone to their conferences.
00:23:39.060They're doing, they're doing great work.
00:23:40.700I'm glad, so grateful that Vice President Vance is drawing attention to this.
00:23:44.880And, and your State Department, I mean, I've, I've shown them some of the heinous things that have gone on in the UK, and they've been very quick to condemn it.
00:23:51.240So, who would have knew that the American State Department would be doing more to defend, uh, British, uh, English liberties than our own governments?
00:23:59.620As, as far as it goes with those speech laws, I mean, they go all the way back to, to the, the late 60s, early 70s with the Race Relations Act.
00:24:07.200They go back to the 80s under Margaret Thatcher with the Public Order Act and the Malicious Communications Act.
00:24:11.720They go back to Tony Blair with the Communications Act of 2003.
00:24:15.160They were, they were passed under the recent Conservative government.
00:24:17.640They're the ones that put in those buffer zones, which make it illegal to stand outside an abortion clinic, praying silently in your head, because it is determined as intimidation.
00:24:27.460Which, as someone actually joked the other day to me, it turns out the British police actually believe in the power of prayer more than Christians themselves.
00:24:34.320The prayer themselves can stop the abortions, right?
00:24:37.360We, we just need to get rid of all of it.
00:24:39.140We, we should not be prosecuting people for, for, for something that would fall, would not fall afoul of the American First Amendment.
00:24:45.400The last example I'll give, if I may, Tim, is Lucy Conley.
00:24:49.000This is a, a, a mother, a childminder who, who lost her child due to medical malpractice and then has, has now got a baby girl.
00:24:56.720Her, her husband is a Conservative counselor and he's rather unwell.
00:25:00.060Last summer when Axel Rudakabana, the second generation Rwandan migrant, murdered three girls and stabbed ten others at a, as a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport.
00:25:07.620And the, the country, mainly in Labour areas, spontaneously erupted into protest.
00:25:11.940Uh, Lucy Conley tweeted something to the effect of, uh, mass deportations now, um, if the hotels burn down, for all I care, I don't care.
00:25:22.940Now, one might say it's unwise to tweet that if the government are looking for an excuse to lock you up, but it certainly wouldn't fall afoul of the Brandenburg test in the U.S.
00:25:31.180Lucy Conley is now sat in prison for 32 months while sex offenders get a shorter sentence.
00:25:36.020And she is only one of 12,000 people every year who are arrested in the U.K. for social media posts.
00:25:44.740Do you think with the gutting of USAID in the States, this will have an impact on your government through this NGO complex?
00:25:52.340I would hope it would dry up some of the slush fund for the leftist industrial complex, but it's our own government funding it.
00:25:58.420Like, the Home Office are funding a communist group called Hope Not Hate who doxed, uh, Loma, uh, help dox Lomas, uh, doxed my friend Charles Cornish Dale.
00:26:07.080They've, they've gone after me, calling me an anti-Semite, and they've gone after Carl repeatedly.
00:26:11.280And, and all of our friends, um, they, they, they are a communist group who now, the attorney general who sits in government, the lead lawyer in the land, used to work for.
00:26:19.540And we've broken the law, seeming to break the law multiple times, and they've never been prosecuted.
00:26:23.000And it's written into the law that basically they get funding until we repeal that law and until we ban them as a group.
00:26:29.560So, uh, I think USAID might have dried up some of the funds, but the funds are still coming from my own pocketbook.
00:27:16.140We, we plan for the interviews or, you know, like either I'm going to do an hour long monologue.
00:27:21.080Like just talking or we plan for the guests.
00:27:24.320So when, when we can't get Connor, what do we do?
00:27:26.300We call him on the phone and hold the phone to the microphone because whatever works.
00:27:30.320I mean, to be honest, as long as you guys can hear the perspective of somebody who's deeply involved in the politics and understand what's going on and what this means, I think it's beneficial.
00:27:37.720But we're going to wrap it up there, my friends.
00:27:39.780So smash the like button, share the show with everyone, you know, literally everyone, you know, your grandma, your grandpa, nieces, nephews, so long as they're old enough.
00:27:48.320So we're getting ready to raid our friend.
00:27:51.000I believe Russell Brand is getting ready to go.
00:27:54.180He is upcoming and should be live at any moment.
00:28:15.060And we're actually hoping a bunch of liberals show up because we want this to be you guys can come up on stage and debate.
00:28:20.260So we're actually going to be – we've got a trailer.
00:28:22.840We've got little commercials we're going to be doing.
00:28:24.980And we're going to do some billboard ads, hopefully to attract a general audience.
00:28:28.200The idea is to have this debate be a little contentious but to be laughable, enjoyable, and fun.
00:28:33.380I want the liberals who show up to be laughing and having a good time despite the disagreements and the arguments, the same as the conservatives.
00:28:38.500And then try and, you know, just bring people together, help them understand each other.
00:28:43.560Let's get you guys ready to head over to Russell Brand.
00:28:47.120Again, follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.
