00:01:14.740 Why not

00:01:16.060 Let me just get my mouse right

00:01:18.140 Alright, the big stories are

00:01:20.160 The main things are according to the BBC 1.00

00:01:22.200 Burnham faces perilous race

00:01:25.300 To become an MP

00:01:27.500 Not a foot race

00:01:28.580 Although he did do a bit of jogging at the weekend, didn't he?

00:01:31.740 We'll have a look at that in a minute

00:01:32.660 Certainly not contrived

00:01:35.200 And WHO, World Health Organisation, declares Ebola emergency

00:01:43.720 Ebola is terrible, it's a fearsome thing

00:01:49.180 It's not like Covid which is just the flu basically, isn't it?

00:01:53.420 Covid, it was just like a bit of a cold

00:01:56.000 Ebola is terrifying

00:01:59.500 Still, it's not like it's a worldwide pandemic

00:02:04.200 It's become airborne or anything

00:02:06.500 But, Ebola

00:02:08.560 Bit of a worry

00:02:11.180 Alright, The Guardian

00:02:12.720 Oh, really?

00:02:14.140 First thing, straight off the bat

00:02:16.420 First thing on a Monday as well

00:02:17.820 Sadistic, if anything

00:02:20.840 Why have they done that to us?

00:02:23.820 The Guardian

00:02:24.460 all right that's gross all right i know some people think that joke is really gross i guess it is

00:02:36.400 i think it's funny like the guardian there's andy burnham

00:02:42.640 not that i'm perfectly felt myself i always used to be skinny my whole life i was a skinny kid

00:02:49.760 I was a skinny young man

00:02:51.040 Found it difficult to put on muscle mass

00:02:53.300 Had to try really hard to put on muscle mass

00:02:55.100 Did eventually in my late 20s, early 30s

00:02:58.140 But I've never been fat

00:02:59.300 Myself

00:03:00.180 Until a year or two ago

00:03:02.340 I've started getting a bit of a punch

00:03:03.680 Right

00:03:04.300 But that's a belly 1.00

00:03:06.040 That's a proper belly 1.00

00:03:07.120 He's got moobs 1.00

00:03:07.940 A belly 1.00

00:03:09.160 And a double chin

00:03:10.780 Is there a good picture of him with a double chin?

00:03:14.360 Somewhere

00:03:14.760 Yeah

00:03:16.440 Look at that

00:03:17.500 Andy Burnham is not a man who jogs

00:03:21.500 Andy Burnham doesn't go jogging

00:03:24.800 He's completely out of shape

00:03:27.320 He's skinny fat actually is what he is isn't he 0.98

00:03:29.540 A classic example of skinny fat 0.95

00:03:32.000 That's what Andy Burnham is

00:03:33.820 Right

00:03:35.800 Apparently we're supposed to believe he goes jogging

00:03:45.280 I don't buy that

00:03:46.680 I don't buy that for a split second

00:03:48.380 Shall we see if there was

00:03:50.280 Some

00:03:51.760 Look

00:03:52.360 There he is jogging

00:03:53.540 Look they put him in a football top

00:03:55.600 Give him some trainers

00:03:56.940 Are they like short shorts

00:03:58.920 They're very nearly short shorts aren't they

00:04:00.580 Not quite short shorts

00:04:02.400 But look

00:04:03.080 He's going jogging with his beer belly

00:04:05.120 Oh but then driving home

00:04:08.580 He said

00:04:10.740 This is a photo shoot at the weekend

00:04:12.900 He said they

00:04:15.160 The media

00:04:15.780 The people that filmed him jogging

00:04:17.460 They camped outside my house

00:04:20.420 All day

00:04:21.040 And doorstepped me

00:04:22.520 He wrote on X

00:04:23.920 Formerly Twitter

00:04:25.420 I can assure you

00:04:27.820 I wouldn't arrange to be filmed

00:04:30.120 Well I just don't believe that

00:04:31.820 I just simply don't believe that

00:04:34.600 Because you drove home

00:04:35.660 You had another aide

00:04:37.220 Go and take a car somewhere

00:04:38.620 To where you was going to end

00:04:39.580 Your fake jog

00:04:41.000 And then you could drive home from there

00:04:42.960 And you were caught doing that

00:04:44.740 All right

00:04:48.400 Andy Burnham

00:04:50.220 You can imagine, can't you, that his

00:04:54.440 His aides

00:04:56.720 His helpers, I mean

00:05:00.460 Not the disease aides 1.00

00:05:03.100 Not HIV aides 1.00

00:05:04.060 His aides

00:05:05.040 And publicists and maybe political advisers

00:05:09.060 Said, Andy, we need to make you look

00:05:11.480 Young and healthy and vital

00:05:13.780 Right

00:05:15.060 You're the new thing

00:05:17.820 You're the new vital, interesting thing

00:05:19.900 Starmer's old hat

00:05:21.600 He's old and past it

00:05:23.860 And done

00:05:24.320 You're young and fit and strong and the new great thing

00:05:30.000 How can we do that?

00:05:32.360 We'll show you jogging

00:05:33.340 It's happened in the past

00:05:35.260 Presidents have done that sort of thing in the past

00:05:37.220 All leaders do it, don't they?

00:05:39.580 You know, like where Putin's

00:05:40.860 Likes to be seen sort of riding a horse

00:05:43.940 Bare chested in Siberia or something

00:05:46.820 Make you look physically virile and strong

00:05:51.060 And fit and all that stuff

00:05:52.880 What we'll do

00:05:54.060 We'll put you in a football top

00:05:56.140 Yeah, because you're a man of the people as well

00:05:57.580 Remember that

00:05:58.120 You're king of the north

00:05:59.060 Yeah, you're a working class lad

00:06:00.560 Football 0.99

00:06:01.260 Normal people like football, don't they?

00:06:03.340 We'll put you in a football top, yeah

00:06:04.620 We'll find your pair of trainers

00:06:06.180 some shorts that someone's left behind in the PE changing rooms

00:06:11.660 and you'll go out for a jog

00:06:16.480 we'll contrive it with like Sky News or something

00:06:20.300 or like the Daily Mail

00:06:22.580 we'll leak it to one of their people that you're going to be doing that

00:06:25.800 and they'll have a cameraman there

00:06:26.980 we'll get some images of you

00:06:28.580 don't worry, we'll have a car at the other end to pick you up

00:06:31.800 don't worry about that

00:06:32.460 someone will drive your car there, you can drive it home

00:06:35.760 Don't worry about that

00:06:36.280 That's fine

00:06:36.600 That's obviously

00:06:40.940 What happened there

00:06:41.540 Isn't it

00:06:41.780 Obviously

00:06:42.500 You're supposed to believe

00:06:44.020 That he's going on

00:06:44.540 His daily jog 0.99

00:06:45.500 This isn't a man 1.00

00:06:48.020 That jogs

00:06:48.760 Look at that

00:06:49.820 I'm not saying

00:06:51.620 He's morbidly obese

00:06:52.360 He isn't is he

00:06:53.000 He's not terribly fat

00:06:55.100 But he's not a man

00:06:56.320 Who does cardio

00:06:57.280 He's skinny fat

00:07:00.060 It's just the classic 0.91

00:07:01.380 It's just the classic stuff

00:07:02.760 Isn't it

00:07:03.160 It's just endless

00:07:04.120 Lying

00:07:04.760 And spinning

00:07:05.700 Just endlessly

00:07:07.300 Why do that

00:07:09.820 Just accept you're a middle aged man

00:07:12.160 Who's out of shape 1.00

00:07:12.920 What's the problem 1.00

00:07:13.860 God damn liars 1.00

00:07:20.180 Damn them 1.00

00:07:21.640 Damn him 1.00

00:07:23.480 Alright 1.00

00:07:25.500 Poggy Andy Burnham

00:07:27.760 He looks like some sort of claymation turtle

00:07:29.580 With his eyeliner 0.94

00:07:30.500 And his beer belly 0.97

00:07:31.780 Faces a perilous race

00:07:35.040 in crunch by election so that's the whole thing now it looks like uh west streeting rainer

00:07:40.840 milliband and whoever else fancies a shot they're just gonna wait before they launch a leadership

00:07:47.720 bid a leadership bid still hasn't been formally launched against starmer it looks like they got

00:07:53.740 the memo it's burnham or bust hashtag boner for burnham it's a bit blue for eight o'clock in the

00:08:01.280 isn't it but um we've got the memo we're going to wait for burnham to see if he can win his

00:08:05.920 by-election and then we'll launch a leadership election if he was truly ruthless if he was

00:08:13.360 rainer or admin band or west streeting and you really really really wanted that job

00:08:21.920 you wouldn't just wait for burnham would you if you had the numbers that is if you had the requisite

00:08:26.560 81 mps to back you that is maybe that suggests they don't maybe west treating hasn't got that 81

00:08:34.640 in which case he's unlikely to beat burnham anyway should burnham win his by-election

00:08:39.600 it's all right they're all waiting for for burnham bumham andy bumham

00:08:50.080 um

00:08:50.400 So

00:08:55.440 All eyes are on

00:08:57.880 That

00:08:58.440 By election then

00:09:00.560 Makerfield

00:09:04.400 In Wigan

00:09:06.080 All eyes

00:09:08.560 The eyes of the nation

00:09:09.620 Turn to Makerfield

00:09:10.980 Turn to Wigan

00:09:14.760 All places

00:09:16.040 Alright

00:09:17.700 There's no guarantee you'll win it

00:09:19.680 I think Labour are, at the moment anyway

00:09:22.780 The bookies and the polls

00:09:24.340 The polls are showing Labour in the lead there

00:09:26.900 With Reform Second and Restore Third

00:09:31.120 There

00:09:31.820 We shall see how it all shakes out

00:09:34.780 We shall see how it all shakes out

00:09:37.700 What is Burnham actually standing on though?

00:09:39.800 What is his vision, his view?

00:09:43.480 What are his arguments?

00:09:45.660 Just communism

00:09:46.380 Socialism

00:09:48.000 Just more of the same

00:09:49.940 Or worse

00:09:53.720 Deeper, faster socialism than

00:09:56.580 Starmer, if anything

00:09:58.400 In fact, there's a clip here

00:10:00.980 Is there a clip?

00:10:02.760 Yeah, let's watch this little clip

00:10:03.940 Right

00:10:04.680 Burnham says, Manchesterism

00:10:08.240 Because he's been the mayor of Manchester for like

00:10:10.240 10 years, after he failed to become

00:10:12.600 The Labour leader twice

00:10:14.640 Before, in 2010, 2015

00:10:16.860 They didn't want him then

00:10:17.720 After essentially a failed ministerial career then

00:10:22.280 He was in government, was he junior minister in Blair years

00:10:26.180 And more of a senior minister under Brown

00:10:28.680 But then was kicked down to the minor leagues

00:10:31.300 By being a mayor

00:10:33.580 He's been doing that for 10 years

00:10:38.040 Thinks he's king of the north

00:10:39.720 King of anything, is he?

00:10:43.140 I don't know why people are afraid of him

00:10:44.420 I don't know why Labour think he's such a brilliant magic bullet to winning the next election

00:10:52.960 I don't know why other people, reform people and all sorts of other people

00:10:56.080 Are scared of him like they can't beat him

00:10:58.500 Like he's some sort of

00:11:01.160 Like he's a brilliant, brilliant politician

00:11:04.560 Not at all 0.81

00:11:06.380 He's nothing, he's a nothing man 1.00

00:11:08.600 He's a skinny, fat 1.00

00:11:11.200 Pinko 1.00

00:11:13.180 With no force of character

00:11:16.840 No force of will

00:11:17.820 Let's watch this

00:11:19.100 He says

00:11:19.800 People ask him

00:11:20.420 What makes you different then

00:11:22.160 You know

00:11:22.500 What makes you different to

00:11:23.740 Keir Starmer

00:11:26.180 His answer is

00:11:27.800 Manchesterism

00:11:29.320 The way I

00:11:30.060 Andy Burnham

00:11:30.760 Controlled Manchester

00:11:31.540 Over the last 10 years

00:11:32.380 Will take that nationwide

00:11:33.680 Yeah

00:11:34.560 Will take that nationwide 0.96

00:11:35.700 That'll fix everything

00:11:37.120 And when he's asked

00:11:38.380 What it really means

00:11:39.460 Socialism

00:11:41.660 Just socialism

00:11:42.720 Let's watch this. Listen to this.

00:11:44.280 I'm totally committed to this place and what we've done here.

00:11:49.840 And, you know, I'm a rooted person.

00:11:51.940 You know, I live literally on the doorstep of this constituency.

00:11:56.400 What I obviously am having to do is respond to events at the national level.

00:12:01.260 But I've come to the conclusion in my almost 10 years as Mayor of Greater Manchester,

00:12:04.900 I've taken the place as far afield as I can.

00:12:08.560 But if we're to go where I want us to be, it requires more change at the national level.

00:12:13.560 You know, I've talked about doing for the rest of the country what we've tried to do in Greater Manchester.

00:12:18.660 Manchesterism, you know, as we call it.

00:12:20.460 And it's that more, you know, interventionist approach to the economy.

00:12:23.940 People say, what is Manchester?

00:12:26.000 An interventionist approach to the economy.

00:12:29.340 Socialism, then.

00:12:31.320 A bigger state.

00:12:33.620 A bigger state.

00:12:34.460 Exactly what most people don't want.

00:12:36.500 Exactly what leads any country to disaster

00:12:39.800 So Andy just wants more of that

00:12:41.840 Interventionalism in the economy

00:12:44.500 Socialism, a command economy

00:12:47.340 Socialism

00:12:51.060 Manchesterism, let me answer it

00:12:53.860 It's the end of neoliberalism

00:12:56.140 That's what it is, the end of trickle-down

00:12:58.240 Actually, that didn't trickle much down at all to make a...

00:13:01.980 Again, socialism

00:13:03.700 Trickle-down economy 1.00

00:13:05.980 That's what crypto-communists, that's what reds under the bed like to say 0.98

00:13:11.060 When they're talking about capitalism 0.98

00:13:13.020 That it's a trickle-down economy

00:13:15.620 And that's wrong, that doesn't work

00:13:17.060 Really?

00:13:20.520 It's what's given the world the highest standard of living it's ever had

00:13:24.660 In all of its history, in all of human civilisation

00:13:27.400 The other way round, a command economy, a socialist economy

00:13:31.460 Always fails, always ends in misery and collapse

00:13:35.960 and ultimately penury, even starvation.

00:13:40.700 But Andy Burnham wants more interventionalism economically,

00:13:46.240 doesn't like trickle-down economics.

00:13:53.680 He doesn't give any more detail than that as well.

00:13:57.300 Let's just hear it again.

00:13:57.840 Liberalism, that's what it is, the end of trickle-down.

00:14:01.180 Actually, it didn't trickle much down at all to Makerfield

00:14:04.280 or other places like it.

00:14:05.760 I want to be really, you know, I don't want to kind of pull any punches, if you like, in this interview.

00:14:10.380 I want people here to be really clear about what I'm saying.

00:14:15.360 He's not being clear. He's not just saying socialism, is he?

00:14:19.140 Because that doesn't, the optics of that doesn't sound right.

00:14:21.760 People, working class people in the North particularly, don't necessarily want that.

00:14:26.700 He's not being honest. Just say it. Just say it.

00:14:30.000 Socialism. A command economy, a centralised economy.

00:14:35.760 a nanny state a bigger state less ownership

00:14:41.920 but he's not being honest is he okay 0.97

00:14:46.960 that's that's the physiognomy and profile of a weak a weak person oh so gross andy burnham 0.92

00:14:56.560 So it's the end of neoliberalism

00:15:01.240 Andy wants the end of neoliberalism

00:15:04.100 Okay

00:15:05.420 Isn't it interesting that a lot of us

00:15:07.740 Wouldn't mind seeing the end of

00:15:09.340 Neoliberalism

00:15:11.220 But he wants to see an end to it

00:15:13.920 From the left

00:15:14.820 If you want to

00:15:17.420 You don't have to

00:15:18.160 But if you want to

00:15:19.340 Characterise neoliberalism

00:15:21.180 As something like the centre ground

00:15:22.920 Something like that

00:15:25.240 He wants to move away from that to the left

00:15:27.620 Further towards socialism

00:15:30.420 Further towards the thing that the country has basically rejected

00:15:34.100 We've never been a socialist country

00:15:36.380 We've never been a socialist country

00:15:39.360 And the experiment's been tried a bit under Starmer

00:15:42.940 Failed massively, massively unpopular

00:15:44.820 He wants to dive deeper into that

00:15:47.180 As I say, a lot of us would like to see essentially some sort of end to the neoliberal paradigm

00:15:53.020 Not to the left though

00:15:54.720 Not to the left

00:15:57.720 That's what

00:15:59.700 Andy Bumham wants

00:16:02.560 Because

00:16:04.620 He is

00:16:05.280 Simply

00:16:07.760 A socialist

00:16:09.900 There you go

00:16:12.860 That's what he is

00:16:14.620 He hasn't got great answers

00:16:16.400 There's no great politician

00:16:18.580 He's going to shake up

00:16:20.360 Westminster and Whitehall at the national level

00:16:22.940 No he's not

00:16:23.480 no he's not he'll do exactly what starmers does but more so do you think he's open borders more

00:16:29.060 safe and legal routes oh yeah oh absolutely that's what he is oh yeah he wants to talk about

00:16:35.140 more intervention with the economy but but still just packing us with hundreds of thousands of 1.00

00:16:41.020 more foreign people every year right the inability to build new houses the inability to truly tackle 1.00

00:16:49.940 The problems in the NHS 1.00

00:16:51.660 And getting GP appointments and stuff 0.97

00:16:55.300 Because there's so many new people

00:16:56.720 Won't talk about any of that

00:16:58.860 It'll be exactly the same 0.99

00:17:00.340 That you're a racist and you're a bigot 1.00

00:17:01.580 And you're a fascist and a Nazi 1.00

00:17:02.680 If you want re-migration or something 0.99

00:17:04.580 Or if you even want a cap on legal migration 0.68

00:17:07.240 That must be more safe and legal routes

00:17:09.340 That's who he is

00:17:10.120 He's one of those

00:17:11.000 Of course he is

00:17:12.020 Of course he is

00:17:13.000 That he's going to make all the profound changes

00:17:17.020 That are needed in Whitehall and Westminster

00:17:18.680 He's going to restore trust

00:17:20.360 Amongst the population

00:17:22.460 It's absolutely more of the same

00:17:27.520 Isn't it 0.99

00:17:28.460 Dirty, filthy commie 1.00

00:17:33.660 Disgusting, idiot man 1.00

00:17:36.540 Bring that up Harry 1.00

00:17:37.820 Let's save it

00:17:40.360 He's king of the north

00:17:41.400 He's going to fix Britain's problems

00:17:44.020 This thing 0.94

00:17:45.100 This skinny fat red 0.96

00:17:49.520 No 0.80

00:17:52.000 No

00:17:53.160 Risible

00:17:55.800 Laughable

00:17:57.500 Okay

00:17:58.400 Who chief

00:17:59.860 World Health Organisation chief

00:18:01.480 Declares emergency over Ebola outbreak

00:18:04.560 Yeah I've seen 1.00

00:18:05.940 Uganda

00:18:07.660 I've seen sub-Saharan Africa

00:18:09.800 Ebola outbreak

00:18:11.260 How you get outbreaks of Ebola

00:18:12.800 Don't ask

00:18:13.660 Don't ask

00:18:17.060 Like the monkeypox type thing

00:18:20.260 Possibly

00:18:21.360 Possibly

00:18:22.880 It's terrible though

00:18:26.760 Just quickly say it sort of liquefies your organs

00:18:30.860 On the inside while you're still alive

00:18:32.700 One of the more terrifying and disgusting

00:18:37.100 Hideous deaths you can imagine

00:18:38.880 Dying of Ebola

00:18:39.820 Massive internal

00:18:43.060 internal hemorrhaging in the end and organ failure you don't want to get ebola oh and the mortality

00:18:50.360 rate is fantastically high insanely high it's not like covid where it's the same level of mortality

00:18:56.620 as like the flu which is to say if you're not really old and got and already got other diseases

00:19:04.840 you will recover almost certainly that's not the case with ebola you can be perfectly young and

00:19:11.140 healthy and fit and virile and it still kills you real quick

00:19:15.040 but it's not it's not like airborne or anything it'll probably almost certainly be contained 0.79

00:19:24.140 to uganda okay world health organization love to make things scary much more scary than they really

00:19:31.700 are an emergency is it outside of a relatively small area of uganda it's not an emergency is it

00:19:38.360 That's what the who are

00:19:40.600 That's all they are isn't it

00:19:41.680 To get attention and ultimately funding

00:19:44.120 They need to make out they're more important than they really are

00:19:47.400 The World Health Organisation

00:19:49.320 Impact with globalist 0.95

00:19:53.480 Communists isn't it

00:19:55.420 The World Health Organisation

00:19:56.340 I thought it was brilliant when Trump just left

00:19:58.640 Made the US just leave the World Health Organisation

00:20:02.020 Brilliant yeah 1.00

00:20:02.580 We don't need that supra level of that

00:20:07.920 it's not necessary

00:20:08.940 okay the times the venerable times what we're talking about here bumham's allies accused

00:20:20.780 streeting of sabotage pledge to rejoin eu plays into farage's hands so that's a that's this is a

00:20:26.660 big thing all over the papers today is uh that west streeting again didn't actually launch his

00:20:33.340 leadership bid formally because they're waiting for burnham in fact he said he would campaign on

00:20:38.660 behalf of burnham in that maker field area weird isn't he supposed to be your your rival for the

00:20:45.340 leadership wouldn't you want to undermine him and beat him at every turn no doesn't quite add up

00:20:53.900 doesn't really make sense or in the interest of absolute fairness yeah right yeah right anyway

00:21:02.720 West Street didn't launch his formal leadership campaign

00:21:06.000 But he did do a speech

00:21:06.880 And he did say

00:21:07.880 When the time is right

00:21:09.980 And the leadership beard is launched

00:21:12.340 I will throw my hat into the ring 0.99

00:21:13.660 His gay leather cap hat 1.00

00:21:16.780 You can only imagine 0.98

00:21:17.680 And he said one of the things he said

00:21:26.060 West Streeting this is

00:21:27.020 That if it was up to him

00:21:28.540 If he was leader

00:21:29.260 He would look to rejoin the EU

00:21:32.360 at some point basically he explicitly said that he said along the lines of i'm paraphrasing now but

00:21:37.880 he said we need much much more closer ties to the eu when we left the eu that was a catastrophe

00:21:45.160 we should have much much more close ties and ultimately at some point in the future rejoin the

00:21:49.960 eu we're streeting who isn't even on the left considered particularly on the left of the labor

00:21:57.800 party now a few people came out among them lisa nandy the runny mead trusts lisa nandy

00:22:05.480 who's perversely the minister for culture

00:22:10.760 what a perverse thing that is just that one data point in the starmer government we need a minister 1.00

00:22:14.440 for culture lisa nandy one of the most subversive traitors you can imagine committed to destroying 1.00

00:22:23.080 our demographic anyway she said that that's not a great plan coming out of the street in camp 0.98

00:22:30.320 that just opens up old old arguments old wounds it was like 10 years ago right the brexit

00:22:39.660 referendum and all that was 10 years ago basically so we should have moved past that by now and

00:22:45.220 if you were streeting start talking about that and make it a big killer of your campaign start

00:22:51.020 Banging on and on about it

00:22:52.300 Every time you get a mic in front of you

00:22:53.980 That just plays into Farage's hands

00:22:57.340 Because that area in Wigan

00:22:59.960 At the local elections

00:23:03.000 Across the board

00:23:04.060 Went to reform

00:23:05.680 Didn't it

00:23:06.160 And

00:23:07.640 During the actual referendum

00:23:09.460 I think it voted something like 65%

00:23:12.300 To leave

00:23:14.000 Which is more than the national average

00:23:18.120 The national average

00:23:18.960 Or the result nationally

00:23:20.220 Was like

00:23:21.020 Pretty close, wasn't it?

00:23:21.660 Like, basically, I can't remember the exact number.

00:23:23.460 I think it was, like, 52%, was it?

00:23:26.300 Anything like that?

00:23:27.980 So, that area in Wigan, McField,

00:23:30.300 is basically a leave area and basically a reform area,

00:23:36.320 you could argue, basically.

00:23:41.620 So, is West Streeting sort of helping the Labour cause?

00:23:49.220 I talk about rejoining the EU

00:23:51.400 Is that going to make people in Makerfield

00:23:53.620 Want to vote Labour in this by-election

00:23:55.460 Well it's a bit of a

00:24:00.180 It's obviously

00:24:01.080 Some sort of cynical move

00:24:03.460 By West Streeting

00:24:07.880 To appeal to

00:24:10.260 The left of the party

00:24:13.060 He's going to need the left of the party

00:24:15.200 if he's going to ultimately win that leadership election

00:24:21.300 because he's considered on the right and the left really really don't like him

00:24:27.440 so if it ever came down to a one-on-one with him and Andy Burnham say

00:24:31.920 he's going to need a big chunk of the left of the Labour Party to be in his column

00:24:36.820 how to do that just say something they really really want like rejoining the EU don't worry

00:24:44.120 about how it damages the Labour Party as a whole. Don't worry about if the general population

00:24:51.560 of Britain want that. Don't worry about any of that. Calculate streeting. He's so obviously

00:25:02.480 just an ambitious career MP, isn't he? So obviously. Not a man of conviction. Not a man who's got

00:25:09.160 a worldview and a set of values and convictions and a clear-eyed vision of what he wants for

00:25:17.220 politics and what he wants for the country, then entered the political fray and tried

00:25:21.920 to get that done. No, not that. No, no. Just a man, a boy, in fact, started his political

00:25:30.220 career very young as little more than a boy, an extremely young man who just wanted power

00:25:36.400 and influence and then enters the race at that point and doesn't say whatever he thinks is

00:25:41.960 expedient at any given moment to reach those aims. See how they're two very different things?

00:25:48.960 Yeah, you see it. You see it. It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

00:25:54.340 One is the sort of person you might hope will actually do the best for the country,

00:25:58.280 act in the interests of the nation. And the other is a vapid, filthy scumbag who you cannot count 1.00

00:26:05.520 on to do that they were acting their own interests because that's what it was always about from day 1.00

00:26:13.360 one can't even be sure that they're capable of thinking in any other terms

00:26:18.560 actually where streeting is okay chancellor put brakes on brakes on 5p fuel duty rise oh thanks

00:26:30.380 Well done

00:26:30.760 I only mean that sort of

00:26:36.300 90% sarcastically

00:26:37.500 The other 10% is

00:26:38.500 Genuinely well done

00:26:40.240 Yeah but why not

00:26:43.300 Why leave it to this point

00:26:45.700 To confirm that

00:26:46.860 An extra 5p tax on fuel

00:26:49.980 Yeah of course

00:26:51.260 Since day one of this 0.83

00:26:54.080 Iran war thing

00:26:55.360 People said

00:26:55.840 You're not going to put the fuel duty up on fuel

00:26:59.940 Are you

00:27:00.280 not going to put that up are you because that would be crazy with the prices through the roof

00:27:05.280 let's have a quick look at the price of crude should we on the open market

00:27:07.660 west texas 107 a barrel rent 110

00:27:14.280 creeping up again creeping up again

00:27:19.540 once i still say that's not insanely high but it is high it is high there's no doubt about that

00:27:28.280 and it's been hovering around there actually all last weekend at the weekend it was hovering just

00:27:32.180 below this and now it's ticking up again so rachel thieves rachel from accounts silly woman who seems 1.00

00:27:43.600 to know nothing about economics and somehow the chance of the exchequer has finally decided she 1.00

00:27:49.120 won't put that extra 5p on uh of tax on fuel no question of them taking taxes off of fuel

00:27:57.720 To make it more affordable for people

00:27:59.180 No question of that

00:27:59.960 Because they have to spend a lot, don't they?

00:28:01.640 They have to tax loads

00:28:03.080 Because they plan on spending astronomically

00:28:05.700 Why?

00:28:06.720 Because they're socialists

00:28:08.060 Because they don't know any other way

00:28:10.980 They think money grows on trees

00:28:15.320 And that the state is endlessly rich and powerful

00:28:17.960 And if anything, you can always squeeze the millionaires to death 1.00

00:28:21.040 You can always squeeze the shekels out of the kulaks 1.00

00:28:25.220 The middle class 1.00

00:28:27.200 Anyone that's got a tiny bit of wealth 1.00

00:28:29.040 Can always squeeze them to death

00:28:31.100 There's always that

00:28:31.900 They need to spend a great deal

00:28:36.460 Because that's their world view

00:28:39.420 They don't know anything else

00:28:40.800 They need to spend it on 1.00

00:28:42.480 Foreign invaders 1.00

00:28:43.660 And the NHS 1.00

00:28:45.040 Give it away in foreign aid

00:28:49.780 They need to do that 0.98

00:28:51.500 They won't back down from that

00:28:53.440 Even if it means

00:28:56.420 Tanking the economy

00:28:57.660 And squeezing the wealth out of everyone

00:29:00.820 And any concept of actual

00:29:06.560 Realistic, reasonable, prudent economics

00:29:10.020 You wouldn't do such a thing

00:29:10.940 That's not what they are, are they?

00:29:12.540 They're not prudent, they're not reasonable

00:29:13.640 Okay, the Daily Mail, absolute slop

00:29:17.740 Absolute, subversive, globalist slop

00:29:20.460 You know, sometimes I mention that they're just like 0.99

00:29:22.380 Anti-white, anti-family, anti-Western

00:29:26.420 look at this i know it's not a headline it's just sort of a more essentially an advert for

00:30:49.980 like michael gove knows the answers like michael gove's got all the answers and michael gove had

00:30:56.380 a shot at making britain great again at helping us away from sort of the blairite project and all

00:31:04.020 the insanities that held and he completely failed he couldn't have failed any harder

00:31:09.180 there's stories of him right near the beginning of the cameron administration going around the

00:31:14.020 cabinet office giving everyone at cabinet some sort of memorandum or essay or something he'd

00:31:19.460 written about how we copy tony blair's playbook literally that this is this is sort of our agenda

00:32:58.600 You're a Nigerian person 1.00

00:33:02.120 You're a cuckoo in the nest 1.00

00:33:04.020 You're a fifth columnist 0.97

00:33:08.500 As far as I'm concerned

00:33:09.740 I don't want you anywhere near power

00:33:12.340 No, zero seats for you 1.00

00:33:16.120 In your disgusting party 0.99

00:33:18.140 You had your chance 1.00

00:33:20.940 And you ruined this country

00:33:23.300 Tony Blair fatally wounded it

00:33:27.140 Made cracks and fissures in it

00:33:30.160 And you guys, you were in government weren't you Kemi?

00:33:32.820 Do you believe

00:33:33.920 At least for some of that time

00:33:35.120 At least for some of that time

00:33:36.340 You were in government

00:33:37.500 And you guys

00:33:39.380 Hammered in death nails 0.84

00:33:44.560 Ruined this country 0.88

00:33:52.180 In all sorts of ways

00:33:53.100 But now we're supposed to listen to people like

00:33:56.080 Oldukemi Badnock and Michael Gove still

00:33:58.300 They know what to do

00:33:59.580 They would have all the answers

00:34:01.140 Would they?

00:34:02.820 You had your chance

00:34:06.880 That party, the Conservative Party 0.96

00:34:08.640 Deserves nothing but absolute annihilation

00:34:11.980 At the ballot box 0.95

00:34:15.540 Zero seats

00:34:18.280 I'd love to see that as an organisation

00:34:20.660 The Conservative Party as an organisation

00:34:22.460 Utterly, utterly cease to exist

00:34:26.540 It deserves nothing else

00:34:28.660 Okay

00:34:32.260 the telegraph the daily toregraph something about cate blanchett do not care about what

00:34:38.260 cate blanchett does or says bumham retreats on push to rejoin eu see they make the calculation

00:34:46.400 in sort of working class wigan that just went completely for reform across the board

00:34:52.900 in terms of councillors local government maybe don't talk about rejoining in the eu maybe don't

00:34:58.700 so skinny fat andy burnham who doesn't go jogging on a regular basis and does wear eyeliner

00:35:05.760 i'm not sure if he actually wears eyeliner i think he's just got particularly

00:35:09.840 thick eyelashes but anyway andy burnham who looks like he wears eyeliner

00:35:13.440 and doesn't do cardio on a regular basis he retreats from a push on rejoining the eu although

00:35:21.280 you know for a fact he would love to because he's on the left he's further to the left than starmer

00:35:26.340 So his true feeling is absolutely Britain should join the EU

00:35:30.060 That absolutely Brexiteers and Brexit

00:35:32.260 The concept of it is bad and evil

00:35:34.000 He doesn't really want to say that at this point

00:35:37.840 Because he's trying to win a general election

00:35:39.420 In sort of working class Wigan 0.97

00:35:40.980 By election, sorry 1.00

00:35:42.700 He's going to try and keep a shtum on that as possible

00:35:46.280 Labour leadership contender, Andy Burnham

00:35:49.160 Distances himself from previous calls

00:35:52.000 After back

00:35:53.320 I've said it before

00:35:54.140 I'm not making that out

00:35:55.740 It's not just like a speculation by me

00:35:57.440 It's a matter of record

00:35:59.200 That's what Burnham would like

00:36:00.480 He magically found himself Prime Minister today

00:36:03.340 That's what he would be doing and talking about

00:36:04.940 We just won't talk about that for now

00:36:07.920 For the minute

00:36:08.440 We need to try and win a by-election

00:36:10.520 In a reform

00:36:12.680 A leaving and reform area

00:36:14.880 He couldn't just stand on his principles

00:36:20.520 Just openly, could he?

00:36:22.160 He couldn't just have the courage of his convictions

00:36:23.740 No

00:36:24.580 Because he's a Labour

00:36:26.520 Socialist politician

00:36:28.600 He has to spin and spin and spin and lie

00:36:30.580 Lie by omission if nothing else

00:36:33.240 In order to bamboozle 1.00

00:36:36.960 Enough normies and boomers 0.86

00:36:38.580 Into voting for him 1.00

00:36:39.520 Old Labour

00:36:40.940 New Labour voters in that area 1.00

00:36:44.600 Idiots, useful idiots 1.00

00:36:46.560 Let's be clear 1.00

00:36:47.260 If you're a Labour voter at this point 1.00

00:36:49.700 You're a useful idiot 1.00

00:36:50.540 You are 1.00

00:36:54.580 Turkey voting for Christmas.

00:36:57.080 You're a Labour voter or a Green voter.

00:37:00.020 Lib Dem voter even.

00:37:02.020 You're voting for your own destruction. 0.73

00:37:06.940 Voting for your own demographic decline.

00:37:09.640 You're voting for a country that your children and grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren

00:37:15.140 will be a hated and marginalised minority there in that country. 0.86

00:37:20.100 Look what happened to the white people in Zimbabwe 0.87

00:37:27.760 Rhodesia 0.62

00:37:29.320 Look what happened to the white people in South Africa 1.00

00:37:32.020 What is still happening to them 0.96

00:37:33.160 Look what happened to Christians in Lebanon

00:37:39.420 Look what happened to a lot of Christians in the Muslim areas of Yugoslavia 0.99

00:37:44.880 Is that what you want for your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren? 1.00

00:37:47.980 Well, keep voting Labour then

00:37:49.040 keep voting Lib Dem and Green then

00:37:51.200 because that's what you'll get

00:37:52.840 alright

00:37:58.960 John Bolton, something about John Bolton here

00:38:00.740 this guy John Bolton, I've mentioned John Bolton

00:38:02.960 once or twice, if you watch

00:38:04.600 all the Bo shows, you watch Breakfast

00:38:06.860 with Bo, you know my feelings

00:38:08.920 about John Bolton

00:38:09.860 absolute 1.00

00:38:13.100 scumbag 1.00

00:38:13.740 US ambassador, he's an American person 0.97

00:38:17.060 used to be ambassador to the u.s had various positions in various administrations but also

00:38:24.440 the first trump administration but he thinks of himself as some sort of foreign policy guru

00:38:28.860 he knows everything about the world john bolton he knows how the world goes round and wire and

00:38:34.000 has got an answer for everything literally everything that goes on in the world particularly 0.99

00:38:38.320 on foreign relations and foreign affairs foreign policy is a complete scumbag hulk by the way 0.98

00:38:44.700 An evil person in my opinion 0.98

00:38:46.720 He says 0.99

00:38:48.500 Oh and he hates Trump

00:38:49.480 To begin with

00:38:50.780 They were buddies

00:38:51.620 Because John Bolton

00:38:52.660 Realised it was a vector

00:38:54.100 To get him back into office

00:38:55.400 But then

00:38:56.700 Quickly they fell out

00:38:57.680 And now they hate each other

00:38:58.480 Now all John Bolton does

00:39:00.540 Is throw shade at Trump

00:39:01.820 That's all he does

00:39:02.520 He says

00:39:03.600 Says in the Telegraph

00:39:05.280 Are we on the Telegraph?

00:39:09.040 Why is my mouse not working?

00:39:10.260 Okay

00:39:10.400 Yeah in the Telegraph

00:39:11.420 John Bolton says

00:39:12.400 Trump is playing a perilous game over Taiwan 0.98

00:39:15.620 Shut up, John Bolton 0.94

00:39:17.340 Sorry, aren't you on trial? 1.00

00:39:19.680 Aren't you waiting for your trial?

00:39:22.280 For

00:39:22.620 Well, actual

00:39:25.360 Treason, essentially

00:39:26.460 Giving away state secrets

00:39:28.880 John Bolton wrote a book, a couple years back

00:39:30.900 Where he talked about his time

00:39:33.320 At, what was it, the State Department and or the

00:39:35.260 Pentagon, was it? I can't remember, during the first

00:39:37.200 Trump administration, he wrote a book about that

00:39:39.280 Because of course

00:39:40.000 He was trying to make money

00:39:44.180 I can't necessarily blame him for that exactly

00:39:47.800 But in that book it seems like he said things

00:39:50.580 Well he did, it's the allegations anyway

00:39:53.060 He said things that were supposed to be secret in that

00:39:57.220 If found guilty

00:40:00.500 Potentially looking at spending the rest of his natural life in prison

00:40:10.000 20 years, more

00:40:12.100 Potentially, probably not

00:40:14.520 But nonetheless

00:40:15.680 John, John

00:40:17.620 Bro

00:40:18.800 Concentrate on your defence right now

00:40:21.940 I'd be spending time

00:40:24.620 Just keeping quiet

00:40:26.460 Keeping a low profile and working with your defence team

00:40:29.120 About how you're going to handle your court cases

00:40:31.460 Not writing op-eds for the Telegraph

00:40:35.380 Dunking on Trump at any given moment

00:40:38.040 That's what I'd probably do if I was you, John 1.00

00:40:41.060 You scumbag 1.00

00:40:44.220 Aren't you done? 1.00

00:40:46.240 Aren't you done?

00:40:46.820 Aren't you in your 80s?

00:40:47.900 Aren't you in your 70s or 80s?

00:40:49.880 Just pipe down, John

00:40:51.300 Ugh, I hate John Bolton 0.99

00:40:55.400 I hate him 0.99

00:40:56.540 I think that's wrong with the world 0.53

00:40:59.980 As people like John Bolton

00:41:01.660 Alright, the Financial Times

00:41:05.320 Something about Ebola

00:41:06.460 Don't care, that's a problem for Uganda 0.99

00:41:07.860 That's a problem for Uganda 1.00

00:41:08.760 Don't try and make us scared about it 1.00

00:41:12.960 Bumham plays down rejoining EU

00:41:15.900 That's what I'm going to say now

00:41:16.740 I'm going to call him Bumham 0.98

00:41:17.540 I'm forward, I've decided

00:41:18.820 Andy Bumham plays down rejoining EU

00:41:24.320 As Labour battle reopens Brexit wounds

00:41:27.300 Okay

00:41:27.580 Trump Jr's venture capital company firm thing

00:41:33.840 Sees its assets surge to 3.5 billion

00:41:36.380 so it's often how that's you know tony blair's son is it you and blair you and blair run some

00:41:42.760 sort of investment some sort of investment venture capital type thing it's now got assets

00:41:49.460 to the tune of i think hundreds of millions or a billion or something crazy money hmm that's

00:41:55.320 interesting isn't it there's definitely no sort of insider trading or not necessarily

00:42:02.220 insider trading insider sort of info going on there is there now how paul pelosi nancy pelosi's

00:42:08.620 husband is magically one of the greatest investors of all time remarkable isn't it the pelosi's

00:42:17.340 personal portfolio statistically they're some of the greatest stock pickers of all time

00:42:25.420 Don Jr

00:42:29.700 Trump Jr is just a brilliant businessman

00:42:33.320 He's just great

00:42:34.640 Just able to amass assets

00:42:36.820 Worth billions

00:42:37.960 There's no nepotism going on though

00:42:41.160 Oh no no no

00:42:42.240 No sort of insider info being passed around

00:42:45.260 Like Ewan Blair and Tony Blair

00:42:47.220 No no no

00:42:48.300 They're just great business people in and of their own right

00:42:51.220 Ewan Blair

00:42:54.160 Don Jr

00:42:55.460 Paul Pelosi

00:42:57.240 Which is just the tip of the iceberg

00:43:00.060 This goes on all the time

00:43:03.120 All the time

00:43:05.340 Make a bit of money

00:43:08.280 Out of information

00:43:09.400 Though they do

00:43:11.360 Dial it up to the tune of billions

00:43:13.400 Sure why not

00:43:14.280 Why not

00:43:15.880 Alright the iPaper

00:43:19.400 Shall we read the blurb on the iPaper

00:43:21.040 And then we'll move on

00:43:22.740 It's more of the same

00:43:23.680 I think you're getting the picture this morning

00:43:25.480 The morning of the 18th

00:43:27.520 Streeting will stand for PM 0.98

00:43:29.220 If and when he summons the balls 0.95

00:43:31.920 To actually trigger the thing 0.95

00:43:33.620 Streeting will stand for PM

00:43:37.580 On pledge to rejoin the EU

00:43:39.200 Which no one really wants

00:43:40.300 Not no one

00:43:40.820 Some lefties 1.00

00:43:42.540 Idiot lefty boomers 1.00

00:43:45.520 Who think leaving the EU was bad 1.00

00:43:48.320 They don't want their government

00:43:50.480 To have sovereignty

00:43:51.480 They don't want Parliament to be

00:43:53.600 The highest body that sets

00:43:55.860 Law in this country 0.92

00:43:57.180 Those people, those weirdos 0.98

00:43:59.780 Those self-loathing freaks 0.85

00:44:08.600 Starmer spent weekend at Chequers

00:44:10.620 Considering his future

00:44:11.960 That's the other sort of main point I guess this morning

00:44:13.820 If anyone doesn't know, Chequers

00:44:15.660 Is a

00:44:17.400 Big mansion

00:44:19.520 Country house

00:44:20.760 set in lovely grounds

00:44:23.240 which is the

00:44:25.100 prime ministerial

00:44:25.940 rural country retreat

00:44:29.060 the house

00:44:31.280 and grounds are called checkers

00:44:32.980 so

00:44:35.120 Starmer spent the weekend there

00:44:36.720 basically chilling out

00:44:38.480 quote considering his

00:44:41.080 future

00:44:41.540 so at the moment

00:44:45.280 the

00:44:46.760 party lion, the lion coming

00:44:49.140 out of number 10 and starmer's camp is that he won't resign and he won't set out any actual

00:44:55.760 timetable for leaving right that's the party line at the moment but it looks like now if those

00:45:03.400 reports are to be believed there's cracks in that he is considering his future that's that's not the

00:45:11.620 same is it that's actually quite different to i won't leave until i'm forced out considering

00:45:17.860 future if that's true is that you know maybe he will if if burnham wins that that by-election

00:45:26.760 maybe someone might consider stepping aside accepting that although if he's got the numbers

00:45:34.040 if he thinks he's got the numbers within the parliamentary labour party to defeat burnham

00:45:38.480 why would he stand aside the thing is it comes down if it comes down to the last two say there's

00:45:43.260 four or five players contenders in this leadership election then let's just say it's whittled down

00:45:49.820 because that's how it works you have various rounds of voting and the losers off and you do

00:45:54.500 another round of voting until it's whittled down to two if the last two were burnham and streety

00:46:01.340 and burnham wins that is much more popular among the labour party membership and unions because

00:46:08.180 is left much more left so starmer would lose that almost almost certainly

00:46:17.620 so now he's considering his future the big battleground for starmer was to

00:46:21.540 get the nec to select andy in the first place i really was surprised last week when it emerged

00:46:26.660 when it came out that no the nec was just going to let it happen there's no big battle starmer

00:46:32.340 didn't rally his faction of the nec to fight that to fight that hurdle

00:46:39.380 who knows what happened in the background to make that not a hurdle for burnham

00:46:46.500 that really was starmer's

00:46:50.420 sort of a key a battleground for him in his fight against bumham

00:46:56.980 he could have should have tried to block him at that point obviously couldn't you would have

00:47:03.840 thought if he could he would he obviously couldn't sentiment has profoundly changed i remember in the

00:47:11.740 days and week or two running up to that some reports saying the sentiment within the nec

00:47:17.000 has completely changed and is a shoo-in now and other people obviously starmer loyalists say no

00:47:21.360 No, nothing's changed

00:47:23.000 No, if it came to that

00:47:25.340 The NEC would vote exactly as it did last time

00:47:27.240 I.e. almost unanimously against Burnham's interests

00:47:29.920 Well, that proved to be a lie, didn't it?

00:47:32.880 That proved to be wrong

00:47:33.700 Out of those two conflicting bits of leakage

00:47:37.300 Coming out of the inner sanctum of Labour

00:47:39.760 That was the lie

00:47:41.220 Alright, we'll quickly read this

00:47:43.840 West Street seeing

00:47:45.860 In fact, no, forget it

00:47:46.540 We've got it

00:47:46.960 We've got it

00:47:47.380 We've done all the points

00:47:48.080 We've done all the points

00:47:48.960 What else have we got?

00:47:49.700 The Metro, ugh, disgusting

00:47:50.880 Andy Burnham doing a jog there

00:47:54.460 In a different t-shirt

00:47:55.380 That wasn't the same t-shirt was it

00:47:56.740 It's got a different t-shirt

00:47:57.680 Look mate look at your belly

00:48:00.760 Why are you pretending you jog

00:48:03.020 Why are you pretending you jog

00:48:05.520 You don't jog

00:48:06.140 Oh look it's the Eurovision Song Contest

00:48:10.000 Absolute 1.00

00:48:11.100 Cretiless 1.00

00:48:12.280 Pathetic 1.00

00:48:13.820 Insane 0.99

00:48:14.580 Spectacle

00:48:15.820 Of Eurovision

00:48:17.120 Just one more cavalcade 0.92

00:48:19.100 of freaks and weirdos 0.99

00:48:21.460 that we're supposed to lap up 0.68

00:48:23.220 like the Oscars

00:48:25.480 or the BAFTAs

00:48:26.520 or the Met Gala

00:48:29.720 or something

00:48:30.200 just one more freak show

00:48:33.280 we're supposed to be interested in

00:48:35.220 and watch

00:48:35.720 no, no, no, no

00:48:37.780 there's Lisa Nandy

00:48:40.960 who's committed to a multi-ethnic Britain

00:52:44.360 pages there was nothing about the Tommy rally it's a tiny bit of patriotism so they'll just

00:52:54.080 completely blank it, completely ignore it, of course they will, that's who they are, that's what they are, that cabal of evil editors, and it is a cabal, of course they're in cahoots with each other, they've decided in their little boomer WhatsApp group or whatever, Facebook group, hey guys, we're going to completely ignore the Tommy rally, yeah, that unite the kingdom thing, tens of thousands of people turned up to try and save their country.

00:53:24.080 yeah we're just going to completely break that liar utterly liar by omission about that yeah

00:53:29.640 all of us yep in in agreement right yep and of course as always don't mention

00:53:58.880 Two to one

00:54:02.120 Two thirds say no, one third say yes

00:54:04.600 Well there you go, interesting

00:54:06.600 I think they largely

00:54:11.880 Are

00:54:13.940 Alright

00:54:15.360 Not entirely, Tommy serves a purpose

00:54:18.320 Doesn't he

00:54:18.860 A pipeline to wake up normies

00:54:21.920 Even if he does stop

00:54:24.120 At a very specific point

00:54:25.680 With his baseness

00:54:26.680 Very very specific point

00:54:29.540 Beyond which

00:54:30.820 If you go any one inch beyond that

00:54:33.360 He starts treating you like

00:54:35.700 How Nigel treats anyone

00:54:37.840 That's to the right of him

00:54:38.740 Nonetheless

00:54:42.620 It serves a purpose doesn't it

00:54:44.100 Waking up normies

00:54:46.620 Because millions and millions of them

00:54:49.620 Must be woken up

00:54:50.640 and realise the peril that they're in.

00:54:54.800 Does the Tommy movement serve a purpose there?

00:54:57.760 I think so. 0.96

00:54:59.960 Alright.

00:55:01.440 Let's have a look at some of the other stories.

00:55:03.840 A quick few other stories before we start rounding it out.

00:55:05.960 It's already nearly nine.

00:55:09.580 What do we have?

00:55:10.940 Look at this guy.

00:55:20.460 When you're a bald man

00:55:21.980 Particularly a bald man

00:55:23.200 Who goes for the bonehead look

00:55:24.700 And you've let it grow out a little bit 0.95

00:55:26.120 You can't really criticise

00:55:29.180 Other people's haircuts

00:55:30.260 Like being overweight

00:55:33.800 And criticising other people

00:55:34.740 For being too heavy

00:55:35.660 Unless that's a haircut

00:55:37.900 Look at that

00:55:38.620 That's a proper Henry V

00:55:40.380 That's a proper Lloyd Christmas

00:56:48.480 if you want your money back no we won't give you the money back but there you go

00:56:51.540 2 700 pound then when they confronted him with it like the same day he's just like no i didn't do

00:56:56.660 anything. Nope. Nope. Why would I? These people need to be deported, against their will if

00:57:08.260 need be, by force if need be. Why is this person here? Completely foreign criminal.

00:57:16.980 We're going undercover to expose the UK businesses helping people smugglers.

00:57:30.720 Our researcher has been told by a smuggler based in France to pay at this London shop

00:57:36.220 for an illegal small boat crossing.

00:57:39.100 Researcher has been told by a smuggler based in France to...

00:57:43.220 Pause this.

00:57:44.220 Anyone in Britain seen shops like this, exactly like this?

00:57:49.660 Yeah.

00:57:51.140 Is our country full of places like this?

00:57:56.800 Full of them.

00:58:00.540 Are any of them legit businesses?

00:58:03.580 Are any of them?

00:58:06.600 A lot of them are barbers, aren't they?

00:58:08.340 A lot of them are sweet shops.

00:58:10.100 A lot of them are like mobile phone shops and vape shops.

00:58:12.960 A lot of them are like chicken, supposed to be selling fried chicken, shops that look

00:58:18.960 like this.

00:58:19.960 Are any of them legit?

00:58:21.960 A worker knows what the money's for and the risks involved.

00:58:26.960 Anyone's only listening to this and can't see the subtitles.

00:58:33.960 We return to the shop to ask some questions.

00:58:36.960 Why do you move money for people smugglers?

00:58:39.960 We don't move money.

00:58:41.960 Do you know it's dangerous, you know that people die on these boats?

00:58:44.960 We don't do anything because that's a job we don't do. We have only a phone shop we have.

00:58:48.960 What? That was supposed to be English? That was supposed to be English?

00:58:55.960 Why are you involved in people smuggling?

00:58:58.960 No, we don't do anything, there's nothing, no.

00:59:02.960 We filmed you speaking to an undercover journalist and you told that journalist that we could pay £2,700

00:59:09.960 which would pay for a small boat crossing from France to the UK.

00:59:13.760 Um, no, I didn't. 1.00

00:59:15.760 Illegal immigration... 0.98

00:59:16.960 Just there! Oh, no, I didn't. 0.99

00:59:24.160 We need to deport this filth. 1.00

00:59:27.360 Look at that shop. Just look at that front shop. 0.99

00:59:29.760 Are our high streets not filled with these, filled with them,

00:59:32.960 the length and breadth of this country? 0.87

00:59:36.960 What a terrible disease that is.

00:59:40.060 What a terrible blight on our civil society, on our culture, on our nation. 1.00

00:59:46.700 Filled with scum. Criminal scum. 1.00

00:59:48.400 Some of the worst. Human trafficker. 1.00

00:59:51.980 Just some random guy in some random vape shop.

00:59:57.160 Confronting him with slam dunk evidence.

00:59:58.900 No, I didn't.

01:00:00.120 What?

01:00:01.120 What?

01:00:02.960 Man, isn't it?

01:00:03.740 Again in Bowes Britain I would go to war

01:00:06.660 With all of this

01:00:07.840 I would spend a vast amount of time

01:00:10.560 And energy and money, political capital

01:00:12.800 On cutting this

01:00:14.760 Cancer out of our country

01:00:16.380 Right

01:00:22.580 There was one

01:00:26.040 There was one other story I wanted to get to

01:00:28.580 I think

01:00:28.900 I think was it in the mail

01:00:31.760 Something about Trump

01:00:34.000 Was it?

01:00:35.140 Let me see if I can find it real quick

01:00:36.780 Real quick for you

01:00:39.320 Okay, maybe it was The Express

01:00:42.040 It was just about Trump threatening Iran again

01:00:45.940 Was that it?

01:00:47.400 Yeah, this is it

01:00:48.080 Look 0.99

01:00:48.540 Am I pro the Iranian regime?

01:00:54.080 No

01:00:54.300 Do I think

01:00:56.880 That

01:00:58.160 Oppressive 1.00

01:01:00.100 Islamic theocracies are a good thing 1.00

01:01:03.300 No 1.00

01:01:04.400 Hells no

01:01:06.160 If it was up to me and I could press a button

01:01:09.540 That's not a good analogy

01:01:11.460 If I could snap my fingers 0.92

01:01:12.680 And there was no more Iranian regime 1.00

01:01:15.640 Would I do that 0.99

01:01:16.500 Yes 100%

01:01:18.360 Am I running out of patience

01:01:21.900 Or belief

01:01:23.100 Put it this way

01:01:23.580 Am I running out of belief

01:01:24.700 Belief

01:01:25.540 In Donald Trump

01:01:27.280 To do that though

01:01:28.880 yeah a little bit it's the taco thing by the day seeming more and more vindicated

01:01:36.080 in my mind a little bit this is the latest thing trump generated this ai image here and if you're

01:01:45.000 only watching it's a picture of donald trump sitting in a space station in orbit pressing

01:01:51.800 A big red button

01:01:52.880 And nukes are going off

01:01:55.100 From orbit

01:01:57.700 He's literally nuking

01:02:00.020 His enemies

01:02:01.500 And in the truth social post

01:02:04.040 He said 0.56

01:02:04.360 For Iran the clock is ticking 1.00

01:02:06.320 And they better get moving 1.00

01:02:10.340 Fast

01:02:10.980 Boom at all capitals

01:02:13.820 They better get moving fast

01:02:15.540 Or there won't be anything left of them

01:02:18.380 Time is of the essence

01:02:20.320 Exclamation mark all capitals

01:02:21.840 Time is of the essence

01:02:23.960 President Donald J Trump

01:02:25.420 You've been saying that for a while now bro

01:02:27.700 They called your bluff like a week or more ago

01:02:32.960 You've got demands

01:02:34.920 They've got demands

01:02:35.660 They're not bending to your demands

01:02:37.300 What are you going to do?

01:02:41.080 Post an AI image of you nuking them from orbit

01:02:50.320 Dude

01:02:50.620 Taco meme people

01:02:56.920 Taco meme purveyors

01:02:59.780 Most vindicated

01:03:02.140 Are you going to take them out and blow up their bridges and power stations or not? 0.69

01:03:08.040 Stop doing this

01:03:08.860 Stop doing this

01:03:10.180 Whoever's advising Donald Trump

01:03:11.740 If it's possible to advise him

01:03:13.080 Tell him to stop doing this

01:03:14.940 This does look

01:03:16.840 This does look lame now

01:03:20.320 This looks like weak sauce now to me.

01:03:24.720 A bit embarrassing, actually.

01:03:28.460 How many times are you going to play this card? 0.99

01:03:30.920 I'm just about to annihilate you. 0.99

01:03:32.900 I'm going to do it. 1.00

01:03:34.100 You've got 24 hours.

01:03:36.060 You've got 90 minutes and then I'm going to do it.

01:03:38.160 Are you, though?

01:03:39.120 Are you?

01:03:41.160 Not that I want him to.

01:03:43.320 I'd like that regime to be removed with as little human misery as possible. 1.00

01:03:46.780 With as few completely innocent Persian people 1.00

01:03:49.820 Blown to bits as possible 1.00

01:03:50.920 That's what I'd like

01:03:52.000 But he's painted himself into this corner

01:03:55.960 Or allowed himself to be painted into this corner

01:03:58.160 Are you going to take out that regime or not?

01:04:02.040 Are you going to back away or not?

01:04:03.680 This is not a good look for me

01:04:05.300 I'm not buying this 0.98

01:04:07.460 This is getting very close to pathetic actually 0.96

01:04:12.440 For me 0.96

01:04:16.780 all right there you go there you go if we just move on to on this day in history

01:04:44.120 of crusader control, the last crusader stronghold of Acre is reconquered and destroyed by the 0.84

01:04:50.400 Mamluks, Mamluk Turk, Muslims, under Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil, yeah, Acre was the last 1.00

01:04:59.400 stronghold, wasn't it, of Utrema, the crusader kingdoms, they have a bad innings, I suppose,

01:06:28.500 That's funny, I thought the whole French Revolution

01:06:30.920 Was supposed to be against monarchy

01:06:33.180 That was the whole point of it

01:06:34.760 But now Napoleon's an emperor again

01:06:37.720 Now

01:06:38.060 Full blown hereditary monarch

01:06:40.700 Oh, okay

01:06:42.940 Isn't that a complete betrayal of the revolutionary

01:06:49.860 Little view

01:07:42.640 All about Tsar Nicholas II

01:07:45.340 The last Tsar 0.99

01:07:47.820 He's the one that got him and his whole family 0.99

01:07:49.840 Murdered in a house of special purpose 1.00

01:07:51.860 By the Bolsheviks 0.90

01:07:52.720 In 1918

01:07:55.640 1917

01:07:57.720 That's the same one

01:07:59.500 Tsar Nicholas II 0.90

01:08:01.100 Those are content on that

01:08:03.400 Fascinating

01:08:05.000 Fascinating life

01:08:06.640 I mean he's a weak, weak man 0.51

01:08:08.280 he needed to be sort of an ivan the terrible and he wasn't he was just sort of a quite kindly dad 1.00

01:08:16.000 really wasn't anywhere near strong enough all right yeah and there was on his coronation day

01:08:23.040 uh there was some sort of free trinket being handed out i don't know if it was like a

01:08:28.280 commemorative mug or commemorative plate or something and they were free being handed out

01:08:33.280 and everyone wanted one

01:08:34.660 and so there was a stampede and a crush

01:08:36.800 and yeah like 1300 people died in it

01:08:39.840 and he like never really got over it

01:08:42.700 well I mean he did

01:08:43.260 but he was like profoundly

01:08:44.560 as you could imagine

01:08:47.560 it must have been a scene of horror

01:08:48.920 you know over 10 times bigger than Hillsborough for example

01:08:55.840 must have been horrible

01:08:57.020 1300 people crushed

01:08:58.320 crushed to death

01:08:59.720 hideous

01:09:00.880 And he was like sort of very very deeply

01:09:03.720 Profoundly hurt

01:09:04.480 Wounded by that

01:09:06.920 And not as any

01:09:09.560 Normal person would be

01:09:10.800 To be a czar 1.00

01:09:13.640 Of all the Russians probably need to be a bit 1.00

01:09:15.560 More steely than that 1.00

01:09:17.520 Anyway

01:09:19.460 Horrible thing that happened on this day

01:09:21.140 In 1974 on this day in 1974 1.00

01:09:23.080 India becomes the sixth nation to detonate 0.90

01:09:25.360 An atomic bomb 1.00

01:09:26.020 India and Pakistan have got nukes 0.99

01:09:30.880 If anyone's going to nuke anyone else 1.00

01:09:33.240 I would have thought 1.00

01:09:36.320 It would be India and or Pakistan 0.73

01:09:39.040 Maybe North Korea might nuke South Korea at some point 0.91

01:09:43.220 Or Japan

01:09:43.740 Probably not

01:09:46.480 Are Russia and the United States going to have a nuclear exchange?

01:09:50.720 I highly doubt it

01:09:51.940 Is France or the UK going to nuke anyone?

01:09:56.000 I wouldn't have thought so 1.00

01:09:57.440 Might India and Pakistan nuke each other? 1.00

01:10:03.340 Possibly, eh? 0.98

01:10:05.960 Possibly

01:10:06.560 Right, on this day in 1980

01:10:10.800 Was the eruption of Mount St Helens

01:10:12.700 In Washington State

01:10:14.000 The extreme Pacific Northwest of America

01:10:16.780 And it triggers the largest landslide in history

01:10:20.540 Killing 57 people

01:10:22.080 And causing over a billion dollars of damage

01:10:24.340 In 1980s money

01:10:25.320 You think, oh, the biggest landslide in history

01:10:29.200 That's remarkable, what must that have looked like?

01:10:31.240 What would that have been like?

01:10:32.800 It was the whole side of the mountain

01:10:34.840 Here's a picture of Mount St. Hens there

01:10:37.860 The whole side of it sloughed away

01:10:41.140 It was a volcano, it was an eruption

01:10:43.700 And yeah, one whole side of an entire mountain just fell away

01:10:48.720 It's cool if we had any pictures or footage of that

01:10:53.140 Well, there was a guy that just happened to be taking a picture

01:10:56.300 It's also absolutely picturesque and lovely

01:10:58.600 A guy just happened to be sort of the right distance away

01:11:01.800 From it, taking pictures

01:11:04.400 And he took like 8 or 12 or 15 pictures of it

01:11:07.180 While it was going on

01:11:08.900 Incredible documentation of it

01:11:10.840 Quite recently, relatively recently

01:11:13.820 They got AI to sort of make a time lapse of that

01:11:17.680 Have a quick look at it

01:11:20.480 There we go

01:11:24.580 So there's Mount St. Helens there

01:11:27.620 Oh look, something's going off at the top

01:11:29.640 What?

01:11:31.600 The whole side of that mountain

01:11:34.060 It's a giant mountain as well by the way

01:11:36.140 The scale might be difficult to gauge there

01:11:38.180 It's basically a mountain blew up

01:11:43.820 This footage you're watching is based on

01:11:49.860 A few still images that were taken

01:11:52.260 And they've AI'd it

01:11:53.380 To make it look like footage

01:11:55.480 That's mad

01:11:57.760 Mount St Helens

01:11:59.280 Okay, that was on this day

01:12:02.300 In 1980

01:12:03.140 Okay, one last one

01:12:06.160 What have we got on this day in 2009

01:12:07.920 The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam

01:12:11.320 Are defeated

01:12:12.580 By the Sri Lankan government

01:12:13.900 Ending the Sri Lankan civil war

01:12:15.880 And almost 26 years of fighting between the two sides 1.00

01:12:18.500 yeah probably for the best isn't it tamils will get annoyed with me for saying that but

01:12:24.560 probably for the best isn't it tamil tigers well both sides accuse the other side of atrocities

01:12:31.360 over years and years and years it's not that i'm particularly pro the sri lankan government

01:12:36.640 not like i feel like they didn't do anything wrong

01:12:39.580 but it's not like the tamils are saints tamil tigers not like they're like

01:12:46.380 classic like a lot of things in history

01:12:48.860 there's no goodies there

01:12:49.940 there's no right side to be backing particularly

01:12:52.960 and in the final reckoning

01:12:56.480 because it was what the Sri Lankan government had to do

01:12:59.160 sort of stamped it out

01:13:01.080 with extreme prejudice

01:13:02.160 oh well no concern of ours

01:13:08.160 it's a Sri Lankan problem 1.00

01:13:10.380 alright 1.00

01:13:10.700 let's have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

01:13:14.740 Let's see, what have we got here

01:13:17.240 Our Rumble Rents

01:13:19.860 Let me do that with my

01:13:21.040 My mic boom so I can see

01:13:23.420 The left hand side of my screen

01:13:24.600 Alright, oh 14 Barber's in at number 1

01:13:27.500 No sign of global church history or jet lag

01:13:30.040 This morning

01:13:30.640 I hope you're okay guys

01:13:32.740 Global church history, you okay buddy?

01:13:38.000 Hashtag pray for global church history

01:13:39.660 Alright

01:13:41.820 14 Barber, super fan

01:13:43.720 Is in at number one

01:13:45.000 This morning he says

01:13:46.920 Good morning Bo, you alright?

01:13:48.600 Thanks for asking

01:13:49.300 I'm alright, yeah

01:13:50.280 Hope you're alright

01:13:51.100 You say

01:13:52.400 Restore will win Makerfield

01:13:55.120 I hope so

01:13:55.700 It's not beyond the realms of possibility

01:13:57.660 Don't worry about splitting the vote

01:13:59.560 I even saw Mark Collette

01:14:01.100 Talking about splitting the vote

01:14:06.560 Mark Collette

01:14:07.360 Get a better take, Mark

01:14:10.840 okay you say restore will win makerfield burnham isn't some big beast even though reformers act

01:14:21.620 like he is yeah it's weird enough that the labor calculation is that he's some sort of unstoppable

01:14:26.500 force of political nature and that he can't not win that anyone else buys that is truly crazy to

01:14:33.560 me anyone else buyers that like reform people or even might collect as i say on some level

01:14:42.060 buying into that why why would you no i think that's nonsense i really do

01:14:47.660 um yeah even though reformers act like he is yeah he's not they're just saying that to try and

01:14:54.940 put off restore people don't split the vote there's no vote splitting there's no vote splitting

01:15:02.200 Because reform are part of the globalist thing

01:15:04.560 They're part of the uniparty globalist blob

01:15:07.340 Open borders, not open borders but

01:15:09.520 They're not good enough are they, reform

01:15:13.740 They're not hardline enough

01:15:15.400 They may as well just be the Tories

01:15:17.420 When, if and when Nigel gets into power

01:15:20.180 Will he effectively act like the Tories

01:15:22.600 Are he not really curbing legal immigration or anything like that

01:15:27.340 Yeah he will, yeah 0.71

01:15:28.160 Because that's who he is

01:15:29.440 He said mass remigration is impossible 0.90

01:15:32.360 He's got Suella Breverman

01:15:35.160 He's got a hand-picked, hand-made person

01:15:38.780 To shill all of that for him

01:15:40.160 Oh, we're trying really hard to stop the boats

01:15:42.460 But can't 1.00

01:15:43.040 And we certainly can't do anything about legal immigration

01:15:45.800 In any profound sense 1.00

01:15:46.980 He's got that Nadims Wahari 1.00

01:15:50.200 He's got the people ready to do that 1.00

01:15:51.680 So they're part of the same thing

01:15:53.800 So a restore vote is not splitting anything

01:15:57.320 Is it?

01:15:59.440 And if it means reform

01:16:05.520 If restore

01:16:07.400 The number of restore votes

01:16:09.680 Means that the reform candidate there

01:16:12.640 Just misses out to a Labour win

01:16:15.120 So be it

01:16:15.940 So be it

01:16:17.280 That's the nature of politics

01:16:18.560 It might even ultimately be better

01:16:21.520 For us

01:16:23.020 That Burnham takes over from Starmer

01:16:24.980 In the final reckoning of Labour getting trounced

01:16:28.840 At the ballot box

01:16:29.760 At the next general election

01:16:31.000 Whenever that is

01:16:31.760 It's not a given

01:16:33.540 That leaving Starmer there

01:16:35.260 Is the best thing

01:16:36.140 From our point of view

01:16:36.920 Not given at all

01:16:38.300 That Andy will stem the bleeding

01:16:42.260 As far as Labour are concerned

01:16:44.480 Why do you think that?

01:16:45.460 Why would you think that?

01:16:46.580 No reason to think that

01:16:47.380 If anything

01:16:48.480 His speech runs us down

01:16:49.880 The avenue of socialism

01:16:51.380 Which people hate even more

01:16:52.780 There's no splitting of the vote

01:16:58.840 Okay, 14 Barber says, shame for Max at the Nürburgring 24, but great for the Dacia Logan.

01:17:07.140 Oh, it was the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race, was it?

01:17:13.680 I saw that, but I didn't see the result, so did Max, you say shame for Max.

01:17:18.280 I know he was racing in it, I'll notice this weekend, but I don't know the result.

01:17:22.460 In fact, I'll check that out today.

01:17:24.220 Nice, thanks for reminding me.

01:17:25.800 You said shame for Max, so I guess he didn't win.

01:17:27.620 Did he crash out?

01:17:28.260 I really don't know.

01:17:28.840 i saw something about yes i did see one quick thing when i was scrolling through twitter or

01:17:34.940 youtube there was like some sweet overtake he did sort of masterful overtake but you're suggesting

01:17:41.520 there that he came a cropper or just lost or something i'll check it out thanks for letting

01:17:47.960 me know all right fallen firebird says manchesterism is an illusion yeah what a nonsense

01:17:54.060 concept that is manchesterism give me a break andy burnham's not left or right he's north

01:18:01.420 king of the north oh wow wow pure cringe coming out of the publicists and and political advisors

01:18:12.780 of the of the burnham camp pure cringe yeah full of firebird manchesterism is an illusion right

01:18:19.740 yeah massive companies buy up premises in the center and inflate output figures whose employees

01:18:25.860 commute from rich rural areas it's still a degenerate multi-cult hellscape yeah the middle 0.90

01:18:32.160 of manchester is like the middle of london or like the middle of birmingham a multicultural 0.99

01:18:36.860 hellscape some sort of third world open-air insane asylum yeah that's what andy burnham will bring 1.00

01:18:45.100 You, that's what Andy Burnham

01:18:46.880 Has spent the last 10 years overseeing

01:18:48.540 That, yeah

01:18:49.580 Yeah, absolutely

01:18:51.300 Okay, Thictajus says

01:18:54.840 You should change

01:18:57.020 The segment name to

01:18:58.280 This day of history

01:19:01.180 Past

01:19:01.760 Okay

01:19:04.900 Okay

01:19:07.140 I mean, I just, I only say it because that's

01:19:09.080 What the website is called, the website's literally called

01:19:11.160 On this day

01:19:12.420 Or on this day in history

01:19:14.740 yeah maybe you're right you say this day of history past it sounds a bit

01:19:20.240 sounds a bit better doesn't it you're not wrong all right and then the last rumble rant this

01:19:26.540 morning anyway is from fallen firebird again who says the st helen's eruptions killed more

01:19:33.000 than it otherwise would have because before this eruption scientists weren't aware that

01:19:38.720 volcanoes could explode laterally so it basically shotgunned an entire area right yeah if you saw

01:19:45.940 if you watch that bit of footage it sort of yeah blew out sideways it was upwards but also in fact

01:19:50.640 mainly sideways half the mountain sloughed off sideways here i think volcanologists

01:19:56.840 i think totally by their own admission sort of missed a trick there they didn't think

01:20:03.480 mount st helens would do that exactly i mean they're aware that something was going on something

01:20:07.760 was going down but i didn't really think it might do exactly that that morning yeah

01:20:15.120 yeah remarkable thing though isn't it

01:20:19.120 absolutely remarkable thing all right that's the last uh rumble round we'll get the youtube super

01:20:23.360 chats harry if you bring those up for me make it so engaged there they are oh only a few today

01:20:29.360 only a few today all right let's let's do them then what have we got here montca brain

01:20:35.360 with an umlaut you know i'm assuming you're foreign

01:20:39.520 montcabrain says

01:20:43.080 if you interview a blue van man i will be your top guy okay must admit never heard of the blue van

01:20:54.200 man harry you do you know blue van man have you heard of this guy uh i don't no sorry i'll check

01:21:06.800 google him have a look for you i can do that for you can't i at the very least thanks for the super

01:21:11.660 chat but off the top of my head i don't know who he is a lot of it a lot of people in still in a

01:21:17.760 dissident right in the online right sphere those of them i don't know still those it's like people

01:21:24.000 got arrested at the tommy rally or whatever i've never heard of them they're big you look them up

01:21:28.540 And they're like, oh, they've got hundreds of thousands of followers

01:21:30.260 Okay

01:21:36.020 Probably should know more

01:21:37.480 I spend my days reading history a lot, I really do

01:21:40.200 Not just endlessly on Twitter

01:21:43.380 Not just endlessly interacting with the

01:21:46.060 The

01:21:48.260 Community

01:21:50.020 Okay

01:21:53.000 What's this name?

01:21:56.300 Just a collection of letters

01:21:57.360 ATGE9PN

01:21:59.880 That's what they call themselves

01:22:01.440 Fair enough, thanks for the super chat

01:22:03.720 10 quid, cheers, not to be sniffed at

01:22:05.600 That person says

01:22:07.120 They say

01:22:09.140 If they rejoin the EU

01:22:12.040 I predict the masses

01:22:13.560 Will snap and this country will burn

01:22:16.180 Love the show Bo

01:22:17.540 Stay true, Union Jack emoji

01:22:19.540 Well brilliant, thank you

01:22:21.040 Yeah, at some point there comes a snapping point

01:22:24.020 In all revolutions

01:22:27.220 Nearly all revolutions

01:22:29.400 It gets talked about and talked about

01:22:32.080 And mooted and there's false dawns

01:22:34.260 For years and years and years and years

01:22:36.380 And it looks like it's never going to happen

01:22:38.180 It can't happen

01:22:39.560 The people are too docile

01:22:40.840 And then, boom, it snaps

01:22:43.420 Like an elastic band

01:22:44.820 Boom, it happens

01:22:46.660 That's how most revolutions happen like that

01:22:50.500 Would that be the final snapping point

01:22:55.560 For the British people, the English people 0.96

01:22:58.560 They rejoined the EU 0.70

01:23:00.760 Who knows

01:23:03.040 Because you would think, you would hope

01:23:06.900 It would be something like

01:23:07.840 7-7 or the Manchester Arena bombing

01:23:12.020 Or the South

01:23:13.580 Southport or something

01:23:15.260 Even massive revolutions

01:23:18.920 Like the Russian Revolution 0.92

01:23:20.640 We had a false dawn 0.97

01:23:22.380 Years before, like 12 years before

01:23:24.800 People talking about it for years and years and years and years

01:23:27.800 The French Revolution

01:23:30.120 Was a century in the making or more

01:23:33.860 A century, yeah

01:23:35.200 Looks like it's never going to happen

01:23:38.180 If it didn't happen then, it will never happen

01:23:40.320 If that didn't cause it, it won't

01:23:42.640 And then, but something in the end

01:23:44.880 Snaps

01:23:46.060 Alright, we'll see

01:23:49.860 Who knows, the future's not for us to see

01:23:52.500 The future's not yet written

01:23:54.800 Thomas Tyne

01:23:57.820 Thomas Tyne says

01:23:59.100 Hey Bo from Oregon

01:24:00.600 Oh Oregon, go Ducks

01:24:01.640 Another weekend gone, yay
