00:00:54.960 You mentioned that you've got this right-wing electorate that needs to be activated,
00:00:58.720 but again, I'm not super familiar with how your system of governance works,
00:01:03.780 but it does seem like it ain't happening.
00:01:06.480 I mean, how do you actually make it this is the time they're going to activate after all of these failings?
00:01:13.260 Well, it has to be the time because at the moment,
00:01:15.860 Mohammed is the number one baby name in the UK.
00:01:17.960 Here's the story from the New York Times.
00:01:20.920 The UK plans to lower the voting age to 16.
00:01:24.260 Here's what we know.
00:01:25.420 The plan has been described as the largest expansion of voting rights in Britain in decades.
00:01:30.380 I think this is a terrible idea.
00:01:32.520 I can't really speak for the UK because honestly, I don't live there and I don't know.
00:01:36.960 So here's what I'm going to do.
00:01:39.060 I'm going to pull in someone who does know.
00:01:41.520 An actual Brit.
00:01:42.760 Conor Thomason.
00:01:43.300 He was actually just here.
00:01:45.540 Let's pull him in.
00:01:47.420 Conor, can you hear me?
00:01:49.120 I can hear you, Tim.
00:01:50.300 Finally, the gremlins are out of the way, I hope.
00:01:52.940 All right.
00:01:53.920 So technical difficulty, but Conor Thomason, you're a British guy.
00:01:57.860 Hey, they're lowering the voting age to 16 in your country.
00:02:00.360 Why?
00:02:00.580 So I think the Labour Party are trying to increase their marginal gains in the vote share because
00:02:08.180 in the last election, they won what is called a land slip.
00:02:12.400 So they got fewer votes than they did in 2019, but they got an overwhelming parliamentary majority.
00:02:18.400 And that's because the previous Conservative government, after 14 years of very unpopular
00:02:22.360 governing, for example, letting in thousands of Afghan so-called asylum seekers in the country,
00:02:29.420 as we found out yesterday, that they didn't include in the population statistics costing
00:02:32.920 the taxpayers £7 billion and all other such acts of treachery.
00:02:36.620 Well, the public really wanted to punish that government.
00:02:39.040 So they let Labour in, even though they weren't very popular.
00:02:41.700 Ever since Keir Starmer has got in, as his name has become synonymous around the world
00:02:46.180 with incompetence and treachery, he has become the single most unpopular prime minister in
00:02:52.320 opinion polling on record.
00:02:54.960 And so what they thought is, well, young people are kind of naive and gullible, and we own
00:02:59.280 pretty much all of the teachers' unions and the universities in the UK.
00:03:02.820 So why don't we just indoctrinate them from birth to grow up and vote Labour?
00:03:06.680 The reason this isn't going to work, though, Tim, as we have seen throughout Europe, as we
00:03:10.960 have seen with Gen Z in America, is that they are rapidly radicalising in multiple different 0.55
00:03:16.700 directions.
00:03:17.440 Young women are voting overwhelmingly for communist parties in Germany in their last federal
00:03:22.360 election in February.
00:03:23.740 Young women voted 25 points in favour of De Linca, the communist party, whereas young
00:03:28.700 men only voted four points in favour for the AFD.
00:03:32.580 In the previous federal election in Germany in the year before, sorry, the EU election, where
00:03:37.400 16-year-olds can vote.
00:03:38.820 They had an 11-point vote share increase among the AFD, so they're voting for right-wing
00:03:44.120 parties.
00:03:44.780 As we saw in America, we saw young men swing towards Trump, away from Biden in 2020, if
00:03:50.780 all of those numbers are to be believed.
00:03:52.420 And young women did not break for Harris as much was feared by the likes of the New York 0.87
00:03:56.900 Times that forecast the massive gender split.
00:03:59.720 But the most important thing about the UK that isn't being counted is the Muslim vote.
00:04:04.100 Now, Muslim diasporas in the UK are significantly younger than white Brits.
00:04:09.520 The average share of Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities that are under 24 is about 44%, whereas
00:04:17.240 for white Brits, it's about 20%.
00:04:19.300 We're an ageing population.
00:04:20.800 And so all Labour are doing is opening up themselves to more young Muslim voters.
00:04:24.820 Traditionally, they've harvested their ballots as a kind of client block, especially through
00:04:30.520 postal voting, where they can rely on the husband of the household and however many wives and
00:04:34.980 cousins he has, often the same thing.
00:04:37.000 Of course, getting his family to vote entirely for the same candidate.
00:04:41.520 But what's happened this time around at the last election is a number of sectarian, independent,
00:04:46.860 Gaza-obsessed Muslim MPs were elected, not as Labour candidates, but as independents,
00:04:52.140 by the Muslim vote.
00:04:53.020 And they're now forming a new party under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who Keir
00:04:58.160 Starmer kicked out of the party for anti-Semitism a few years ago, and a few Labour MPs that
00:05:02.720 have been kicked out.
00:05:03.380 They're jokingly calling it Jezbollah, because, of course, Jeremy Corbyn has supported Hamas,
00:05:07.860 Hezbollah, and pretty much all of Britain's enemies. 0.98
00:05:10.000 And so what you're going to see is actually this massively backfire for the Labour government,
00:05:13.260 because you're going to see young white British men vote right-wing if they're given a right-wing
00:05:17.000 party, young women vote for green and communist parties, and young Muslims vote for
00:05:21.460 the Muslim Party, and Labour are going to end up capsizing by 2029.
00:05:25.340 Okay, so here's my question, though.
00:05:27.640 How do you just lower the voting age?
00:05:29.680 I mean, we can't do that here.
00:05:32.380 Oh, Parliament is almost entirely sovereign.
00:05:35.320 I mean, it was first lowered to 18, I think it was in 1969 from 21, and they're passing
00:05:40.860 a new elections reform bill, and because of the size of their majority, Parliament could
00:05:45.580 just do basically as they like.
00:05:48.100 We don't have the system of, let's say, checks and balances that the US built into its constitution.
00:05:55.220 We ostensibly have that a little bit, because Tony Blair introduced the Supreme Court in
00:05:59.560 2009.
00:06:00.780 But as we know, there's no such thing as a neutral institution, and so the Supreme Court
00:06:04.400 only ever steps in to block things like Brexit.
00:06:07.060 So the Supreme Court probably won't end up challenging this.
00:06:10.840 The other things that are included in this election bill is accepting bank cards as a
00:06:17.440 form of voter ID now.
00:06:19.020 What?
00:06:19.840 It's going to open up.
00:06:21.220 Yeah, I know, exactly.
00:06:22.220 So it's going to open up the election to even more fraud.
00:06:24.880 And automatic voter enrollment.
00:06:27.420 So they're not doing away with postal votes.
00:06:28.940 They're allowing you to have even more loose forms of voter verification, and they're automatically
00:06:35.520 adding you as an eligible voter to the voter roll.
00:06:38.380 So they're trying to gerrymander, ethnically and via age demographics, the vote in their
00:06:43.400 favor.
00:06:43.700 But I think, ultimately, it's going to be their undoing.
00:06:46.960 What has happened to your country?
00:06:49.700 Let me just ask a serious version of that.
00:06:51.760 But based on everything that I've heard, and I think many people have heard about what's
00:06:56.640 going on in the UK, is it possible to save your country?
00:07:01.220 Turn this around?
00:07:03.060 So we are still, as well, we need an emergency census to find out the exact numbers.
00:07:08.660 But as of 2021, we are still 70% white British.
00:07:12.920 And the British public on the whole are generally quite right wing.
00:07:17.660 Like they support the return of the death penalty.
00:07:19.340 The 9 in 10 constituencies want immigration lowered to the tens of thousands.
00:07:25.460 And that's when they think that immigration is actually 70,000 rather than at least 700,000
00:07:30.600 every year.
00:07:31.060 So they're underestimating it by a factor of 10.
00:07:32.980 And they still want immigration restrictions.
00:07:35.920 There are actually a sizable amount of Gen Zers who would sooner vote for Donald Trump than
00:07:40.220 they would for any other British politician.
00:07:42.900 So that shows that there is a latent right wing electorate that needs to be spoken to on behalf
00:07:48.360 of and tapped into.
00:07:49.340 But the things that we lack are key representation.
00:07:52.720 So for years, we've had Conservative Party politicians talking right and governing very far left.
00:07:58.620 Even Keir Starmer attempted to do that recently with his Island of Strangers speech, which he's
00:08:02.840 since denounced.
00:08:04.860 And also, we have a civil service that runs this country.
00:08:07.920 So no matter who the politicians of the day are elected, they can't ever fire the permanent
00:08:13.920 bureaucrats that run the country.
00:08:15.760 I know America has a real problem with its deep state ever since FDR and LBJ and even the
00:08:22.280 Obama administration.
00:08:23.340 But at least you can hire and fire about 20,000 federal employees.
00:08:27.060 And the Trump administration is in the process of still making appointments.
00:08:30.260 In our country, you can't even do that.
00:08:31.880 The prime minister can appoint a few of his cabinet ministers, of course.
00:08:36.200 He can appoint a few advisors in Downing Street.
00:08:38.520 The rest of the country is run by permanent secretaries because Tony Blair, who's kind of
00:08:42.680 like the dark lord of all British politics.
00:08:46.640 In 2010, he and his successor, Gordon Brown, just vandalized the British Constitution and
00:08:53.180 made Parliament no longer sovereign.

00:09:22.640 They made it subordinate to the permanent deep state government of the civil service.
00:09:26.600 A civil service, by the way, which is larger per capita than communist China.
00:09:30.640 So how we can get control of it, I mean, have a politician, a political party brave enough
00:09:36.160 to actually speak to the values that the British public already hold and not be afraid of being
00:09:41.360 called racist by the media who would rather see you fail than succeed.
00:09:45.520 Identify and be willing to repeal on day one all of those laws that are getting your way.
00:09:50.180 Fire the bureaucrats. 0.50
00:09:52.020 Scrap the DEI patronage schemes baked into the civil service.
00:09:56.980 And then just begin mass-deporting the millions of illegal migrants that we know are here. 0.98
00:10:00.960 And stop importing over a million people every single year, 95% of which we have to pay taxes for 1.00
00:10:08.200 to subsidize their lifestyles.
00:10:09.560 And are coming from cultures that are nowhere near proximate to us
00:10:13.540 and are establishing Islamic sectarian ethnic enclaves
00:10:17.360 and electing politicians that care more about Gaza than Great Britain.
00:10:20.760 You know what I think?
00:10:23.240 Give us a history lesson.
00:10:24.540 Isn't the House of Commons relatively new?
00:10:27.440 I mean, relatively, a couple hundred years?
00:10:30.060 Uh, no, no.
00:10:32.380 It's, it's, it's, I mean, it's been around far longer than your country.
00:10:37.200 Um, probably, we should, we've got pubs older than America.
00:10:41.240 God bless you guys.
00:10:42.160 I've been to one.
00:10:42.700 I think the best, the best reference point for this is probably using the, uh, Bill of Rights of 1689.
00:10:49.300 So after Oliver Cromwell won the English Civil War, decapitated Charles I,
00:10:54.760 deposed the monarchy and appointed himself Lord Protector,
00:10:57.320 um, Parliament essentially ended up writing up a, a Bill of Rights based on the original principles
00:11:03.980 of the Magna Carta and which served as the eventual inspiration for the Declaration of Independence
00:11:09.540 in the American Constitution.
00:11:10.540 And the idea was that these are the liberties that Englishmen themselves feel they are entitled to,
00:11:16.080 based on history and based on tradition.
00:11:18.860 And this held up for years until about the 20th century.
00:11:23.000 And we had our own version of FDR, uh, with the post-war government,
00:11:26.740 with Clement Attlee's government.
00:11:28.420 And what he did was he, he, like, like FDR introduced, uh, social security.
00:11:32.400 Clement Attlee introduced the National Health Service, uh, like FDR, uh, and, and his successors,
00:11:37.960 LBJ introduced the Civil Rights Act.
00:11:39.640 We introduced the Race Relations Act, um, which made it, uh, illegal to have inequalities
00:11:44.780 between ethnic groups and created the, uh, the speech offense of inciting racial hatred,
00:11:50.000 which has now been used to lock up people for, uh, saying things that, that the government
00:11:54.320 doesn't like either online or in person.
00:11:56.640 And they also, uh, completely reconfigured the, the, the Civil Service after, uh, after
00:12:01.940 the Second World War to be quote-unquote neutral.
00:12:04.240 So that meant that it wasn't subject to any political party.
00:12:07.040 But of course, if you're going to go into government, you're going to work for the state,
00:12:10.100 of course you have values that you're going to bring to bear.
00:12:12.640 So all that meant was the, the Civil Service was put outside the, the scope of criticism by
00:12:18.460 ministers, because if you were seen to be criticizing the Civil Service, you were seen to be politicizing
00:12:23.100 it when we all knew it was politicized anyway.
00:12:25.460 So what would be best is if we repeal all of those laws from the 20th century and the
00:12:30.140 21st century that have distanced us from our, our ancient rights and liberties as recognized
00:12:36.320 by Magna Carta and as recognized by the Bill of Rights, uh, of 1689.
00:12:40.360 And, you know, personally, I would be a fan of, uh, of repealing also the, the, the law
00:12:45.500 that came in shortly after the Bill of 1689, which, uh, uh, uh, barred Catholics from ever
00:12:49.720 sitting, uh, as monarchs considering the, the established church of England, um, doesn't
00:12:54.240 really know that it's a church these days.
00:12:56.380 And our, our King who could solve this problem, but refuses not to is more interested in hosting
00:13:01.180 Ramadan events on palace property than saving his people from the replacement of their own 0.87
00:13:05.440 culture.
00:13:06.020 When, when did it stop that the King was the absolute?
00:13:09.180 Was that, was that never the case?
00:13:10.500 It was, so we, Britain is not like continental Europe.
00:13:16.060 We've never really had absolute monarchs.
00:13:18.440 The closest thing we could have had, uh, I think is Charles the first, which is why, um,
00:13:22.720 not just for, not just for religious disputes between, uh, Charles possibly Marian Catholic,
00:13:26.960 um, and versus the Puritans in parliament, but also because of the, the perception that
00:13:31.460 Charles was impeding on parliamentary sovereignty.
00:13:34.940 That's why the civil war started.
00:13:36.520 Um, but we've, we've always had a culture of the King having to abide by the laws he
00:13:41.200 sets, uh, our mutual friend, Carl Benjamin has spoken about this example many a time
00:13:45.940 in, in the old stories of Robin Hood, when the King, uh, the legitimate King returns to
00:13:50.680 England and disguises himself as one of Robin's band of merry men, uh, when he misses the, the
00:13:55.520 shot on a hunt, Robin wraps him over the head with his bow.
00:13:58.960 Um, and the King doesn't, doesn't get uppity about this.
00:14:02.340 He doesn't, you know, reprimand Robin, despite being a bandit for this.
00:14:04.780 He, he abides by the laws that he himself has set.
00:14:07.340 This was the point of Magna Carta.
00:14:08.700 It was, it was the barons getting together and saying, King John, you're going outside
00:14:12.080 the remit of a legitimate monarch.
00:14:13.680 We're going to constrain your rule by, by, by popular consent.
00:14:18.020 Uh, and so we've always had this tradition that the King is meant to abide by the rules
00:14:22.220 he sets, but he does have the power to disband parliament.
00:14:26.060 And so hypothetically, and, and Ian is somewhere sort of shaking, uh, the prospect, uh, but
00:14:32.100 hypothetically, uh, King Charles could march the army down to parliament and say, you are
00:14:36.200 not serving the British people.
00:14:37.480 You are, you're betraying my subjects and I'm going to dissolve parliament until further
00:14:42.800 notice till we get a handle on these things.
00:14:44.260 But he won't because King Charles, unfortunately has been very influential in co-founding the
00:14:48.320 World Economic Forum.
00:14:49.000 He is obsessed with the, uh, the sun worshiping climate cult of thinking the, uh, the, the
00:14:54.880 atmosphere is going to collapse in on us and, and usher in a brand, uh, just turn the, turn
00:15:00.100 the world into a big fireball.
00:15:01.480 Um, and he is obsessed with fostering what he calls interfaith dialogue, which basically
00:15:05.960 means pushing Christianity out of the public square and amplifying other faiths, particularly 1.00
00:15:10.640 Islam.
00:15:11.260 When, when he, uh, obviously was coronated, he is meant to take a vow to, uh, to be the defender
00:15:16.680 of the faith, the established church of England.
00:15:19.580 And instead he said he wanted to be defender of the faiths, cementing this like post-war 0.97
00:15:24.440 modern mythology, the diversity built Britain.
00:15:26.380 We've always been a pluralistic nation.
00:15:28.060 Um, that's not the case.
00:15:29.480 And so I wouldn't rely on the King, unfortunately, to defend our, our ancient rights and liberties
00:15:33.920 any more than I would parliament.
00:15:35.600 You mentioned these permanent secretaries.
00:15:37.780 And the reason I was asking these questions is Americans make a lot of assumptions about how
00:15:41.960 the, the, the, your country operates.
00:15:43.800 It's, and, uh, to be honest, a lot of people don't even know the distinction between Great
00:15:47.720 Britain, the UK and England, uh, Americans are not very familiar, but when you mentioned
00:15:52.000 these permanent secretaries, much like our deep state, it sounds like at some point in
00:15:56.100 the past couple of decades, there's been an effort to consolidate power under a bureaucratic
00:16:00.880 establishment that is unelected and will operate with impunity.
00:16:05.200 And then our electoral system becomes much more of a facade.
00:16:08.640 Quite, uh, so we can name the bits of legislation that did this.
00:16:14.440 It was the constitutional reform and governance act of 2010, the constitutional reform act of
00:16:18.360 2005, uh, the human rights act of 1998, which meant that written into UK law is now the European
00:16:25.340 court on human rights.
00:16:26.600 So even though we've had Brexit, which means that we're not meant to be beholden to the
00:16:30.540 European union anymore, even though Keir Starmer who campaigned to undo Brexit has now just
00:16:34.820 restarted payments to the EU and following their laws again, um, the European court on
00:16:38.980 human rights was, was separate to that.
00:16:41.260 I think it was ratified in 1952, uh, originally to, to ensure that things like the Holocaust 0.55
00:16:45.880 never happened again and is now rather than preventing Dutch Jews from fleeing the Holocaust 0.64
00:16:51.220 from, from being turned away from asylum is now ensuring that Albanian criminals are 1.00
00:16:55.280 kept in the country because, and this is a real case, his son doesn't like the taste of
00:16:59.760 foreign chicken nuggets.
00:17:00.560 Therefore he can't live anywhere but Britain UK law.
00:17:05.160 Yeah, I know.
00:17:05.740 There's a, there's a list of these men. 0.69
00:17:07.040 One of the worst examples of Pakistani pedophile who said he couldn't be deported from the 0.89
00:17:10.980 country because he wouldn't be able to see his kids. 0.98
00:17:15.580 It's just, it's just depressing.
00:17:17.060 Um, but then there's, then there's this NGO industrial complex, which you absolutely have
00:17:20.840 in America.
00:17:21.360 I mean, there's a, there's a real patronage scheme that the USAID and the state department
00:17:27.200 have been running for years to ensure that leftist activists are always comfortably funded
00:17:33.160 and, and can manufacture consent for leftist causes by being the foot soldiers in the streets
00:17:37.080 that the permanent, uh, the, the permanent bureaucracy and the permanent politicians with
00:17:41.920 no turbulence can point to and say, see, we're enacting the will of the people. 0.79
00:17:45.180 Here's gay race communism. 1.00
00:17:46.380 And in the UK, we've got things like the charities act passed in 2011 under a conservative
00:17:51.000 government, the equalities act, uh, which insists DEI is written into the law of every
00:17:55.640 public sector body.
00:17:56.680 So you have to hire along racial, gendered and, uh, and religious lines, but obviously
00:18:00.820 not straight white men.
00:18:02.380 And we've got this, uh, this sort of monolithic body of civil servants that, that are trained
00:18:07.280 by something called the Tony Blair Institute.
00:18:09.620 And, and, uh, Keir Starmer's government have had a vast amount of employees and even, uh,
00:18:15.740 cabinet ministers, uh, be former members of the Tony Blair Institute.
00:18:19.720 So we've got this giant patronage network to, to unpick.
00:18:22.680 A lot of this was, was started by Tony Blair.
00:18:24.400 A lot of it's traced all the way back to, to the post-war governments as well.
00:18:28.160 We've got a hell of a hill to climb.
00:18:30.720 It's just difficult finding many politicians that are willing to do this.
00:18:33.880 I can genuinely count them on one hand out of 650 sat in parliament right now.
00:18:38.380 We've had a ton of stories going back.
00:18:41.340 I don't know how many years, like, especially with Brexit, where there have been these movements.
00:18:44.680 I remember UKIP and, you know, obviously Dank and, and, and Carl's efforts.
00:18:48.900 It's, you mentioned that you've got this, this right wing elector that needs to be activated.
00:18:53.060 But again, I'm not as familiar, I'm not super familiar with how your, your, your system of
00:18:57.700 governance works, but it does seem like it ain't happening.
00:19:00.740 I mean, how do you, how do you actually make it?
00:19:02.680 This, this is the time they're going to activate after all of these failings.
00:19:06.600 Well, it has to be the time because at the moment, Mohammed is the number one baby name 1.00
00:19:11.860 in the UK.
00:19:13.040 So we, in all of the UK, in, in, in England specifically, and it's been in the top 10
00:19:18.020 in the other regions for a number of years now.
00:19:20.960 Um, but yeah, it's number one now.
00:19:22.800 Uh, and I know, I know they're not very creative with their spelling over there.
00:19:25.780 So there's a reason.
00:19:26.520 Um, but still it speaks to, speaks to, uh, a demographic volume that we can't ignore and
00:19:31.640 we don't have longer than five years to fix.
00:19:34.240 So I, I look real, real time, real time fact check, because I hear this a lot.
00:19:39.880 There was a viral video out of, I think it was like Derry, Ireland, where someone asked,
00:19:44.160 what, what do you think is the most popular name?
00:19:45.880 And they're like, Michael or Gregory.
00:19:47.540 And he's like, it's Mohammed. 0.97
00:19:48.440 And they're like, what?
00:19:49.140 And they're all mad.
00:19:50.200 Uh, I just did a quick fact check among girls.
00:19:52.780 The top name is either Olivia or Amelia among boys.
00:19:56.100 It's Mohammed. 0.67
00:19:57.180 Really?
00:19:57.660 It really is.
00:19:58.280 It is.
00:19:58.740 It is in 2023 surpassed Noah and Oliver.
00:20:01.920 Wow.
00:20:02.680 So as a culture shift.
00:20:04.240 Man, it's, it's really dire.
00:20:06.260 Um, and looking at, I think it was the ONS data that came out in the last couple of weeks.
00:20:10.220 Now, um, the share of, of babies born to, uh, at least the mother being of immigrant heritage
00:20:17.300 is between a third and 40%.
00:20:20.340 So, you know, we're not, we're not quite Canada levels, but we're getting there.
00:20:23.820 As 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.
00:20:38.060 Like, 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.
00:20:47.120 Um, 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.
00:21:02.040 And, and they are just cratering into obsolescence, have started to pay attention, uh, Robert Jenrick, Nick Timothy, Katie Lam.
00:21:08.860 But 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.
00:21:24.820 So she is partially responsible for this situation.
00:21:27.480 Um, 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.
00:21:49.720 Yesterday, 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.
00:22:08.600 Now, that's the thinnest possible end of the wedge.
00:22:10.800 It's encouraging messaging, but they've still got no policies to this.
00:22:14.140 And, and, and, but promises are not worth much in politics.
00:22:17.260 I'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.
00:22:23.240 The 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.
00:22:38.620 This guy's a 67-year-old granddad with a spotless record.
00:22:41.680 It's utterly inexcusable.
00:22:42.840 And now he is an independent MP.
00:22:45.180 He'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.
00:22:54.260 And 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.
00:23:01.980 And 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.
00:23:09.200 Ah, it's wishful thinking, man.
00:23:11.460 I mean, I, I, I certainly hope so.
00:23:13.680 But, uh, we've seen these videos, right?
00:23:15.260 There was a lady who closed her eyes outside of an abortion clinic, and she got arrested.
00:23:19.320 The, the, the speech laws in the UK seem, it's, it's been going on for how long now?
00:23:23.520 I mean, at least, at least a decade or longer, right?
00:23:25.320 Uh, it's been going on quite a bit longer than that.
00:23:28.040 You'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.
00:23:39.060 They're doing, they're doing great work.
00:23:40.700 I'm glad, so grateful that Vice President Vance is drawing attention to this.
00:23:44.880 And, 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.
00:23:51.240 So, who would have knew that the American State Department would be doing more to defend, uh, British, uh, English liberties than our own governments?
00:23:58.220 But, funny times we live in.
00:23:59.620 As, 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.
00:24:07.200 They go back to the 80s under Margaret Thatcher with the Public Order Act and the Malicious Communications Act.
00:24:11.720 They go back to Tony Blair with the Communications Act of 2003.
00:24:15.160 They were, they were passed under the recent Conservative government.
00:24:17.640 They'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.
00:24:27.460 Which, 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.
00:24:34.320 The prayer themselves can stop the abortions, right?
00:24:37.360 We, we just need to get rid of all of it.
00:24:39.140 We, we should not be prosecuting people for, for, for something that would fall, would not fall afoul of the American First Amendment.
00:24:45.400 The last example I'll give, if I may, Tim, is Lucy Conley.
00:24:49.000 This 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.
00:24:56.720 Her, her husband is a Conservative counselor and he's rather unwell.
00:25:00.060 Last 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.
00:25:07.620 And the, the country, mainly in Labour areas, spontaneously erupted into protest.
00:25:11.940 Uh, 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.
00:25:21.360 And then she deleted the tweet.
00:25:22.940 Now, 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.
00:25:31.180 Lucy Conley is now sat in prison for 32 months while sex offenders get a shorter sentence.
00:25:36.020 And she is only one of 12,000 people every year who are arrested in the U.K. for social media posts.
00:25:42.320 Jeez, man.
00:25:42.900 Last question, quick one.
00:25:44.740 Do you think with the gutting of USAID in the States, this will have an impact on your government through this NGO complex?
00:25:52.340 I would hope it would dry up some of the slush fund for the leftist industrial complex, but it's our own government funding it.
00:25:58.420 Like, 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.
00:26:07.080 They've, they've gone after me, calling me an anti-Semite, and they've gone after Carl repeatedly.
00:26:11.280 And, 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.
00:26:19.540 And we've broken the law, seeming to break the law multiple times, and they've never been prosecuted.
00:26:23.000 And it's written into the law that basically they get funding until we repeal that law and until we ban them as a group.
00:26:29.560 So, uh, I think USAID might have dried up some of the funds, but the funds are still coming from my own pocketbook.
00:26:35.000 And until 2029, we can't stop that.
00:26:37.520 Connor, thanks so much for being able to call in.
00:26:39.780 We figured it out.
00:26:40.540 Uh, where can people find you?
00:26:42.480 Uh, thank you very much for inviting me back on, Tim.
00:26:44.320 Always love doing your show.
00:26:45.420 They can find me on Connor Tomlinson on YouTube.
00:26:47.900 I have a weekly podcast called Tomlinson Talks, and they can find my writing on Courage Media.
00:26:51.400 And I tweet about the fall of my country in real time at, at con underscore Tomlinson.
00:26:56.820 Right on, man.
00:26:57.240 Thanks for hanging out.
00:26:57.900 We'll see you next time.
00:26:59.440 Thank you.
00:27:00.020 That's right on.
00:27:01.780 Uh, hey, we figured it out, guys.
00:27:03.820 See, you know, we're not like those big fancy TV studios where they have backups upon backups.
00:27:08.820 And they just, you know, if the, if the call didn't work on the other person's ending, I guess we lost them.
00:27:12.660 And then what they would do is they'd have a backup story.
00:27:14.660 I don't have a backup story.
00:27:16.140 We, we plan for the interviews or, you know, like either I'm going to do an hour long monologue.
00:27:21.080 Like just talking or we plan for the guests.
00:27:24.320 So when, when we can't get Connor, what do we do?
00:27:26.300 We call him on the phone and hold the phone to the microphone because whatever works.
00:27:30.320 I 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.
00:27:37.720 But we're going to wrap it up there, my friends.
00:27:39.780 So 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.
00:27:48.320 So we're getting ready to raid our friend.
00:27:51.000 I believe Russell Brand is getting ready to go.
00:27:54.180 He is upcoming and should be live at any moment.
00:27:57.440 So we'll get that raid for you guys.
00:27:59.720 Hey, make sure you check out the DC Comedy Loft event in the description below.
00:28:03.180 We want to see you there in DC.
00:28:05.000 Tickets are going fast.
00:28:06.360 Since we announced Gavin McInnes and Matan Even, we've been selling a lot more.
00:28:09.560 Obviously, people were like, how am I going to buy a ticket if I don't know I was going to be there?
00:28:12.520 But hey, I'll be there.
00:28:13.820 Alex Stein will be there.
00:28:15.060 And 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.
00:28:20.260 So we're actually going to be – we've got a trailer.
00:28:22.840 We've got little commercials we're going to be doing.
00:28:24.980 And we're going to do some billboard ads, hopefully to attract a general audience.
00:28:28.200 The idea is to have this debate be a little contentious but to be laughable, enjoyable, and fun.
00:28:33.380 I 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.
00:28:38.500 And then try and, you know, just bring people together, help them understand each other.
00:28:43.560 Let's get you guys ready to head over to Russell Brand.
00:28:47.120 Again, follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.
00:28:49.360 I appreciate you guys.
00:28:50.240 Thanks for hanging out.
00:28:50.880 We'll see you all in the next segment.
00:28:53.040 Tonight, 8 p.m., TimCast IRL.
00:28:54.620 We'll see you there.
00:28:55.020 We'll see you there.
