00:01:45.740 About St George's Day

00:01:46.560 They basically ignore it

00:01:47.640 Because all the papers are

00:01:51.060 Subversive nonsense 0.53

00:02:23.880 That happens to be from Cappadocia 0.98

00:02:26.140 Different

00:02:28.100 Or you can't venerate foreign people 0.70

00:02:30.180 Oh you can't venerate the prophet Mohammed then can you 0.53

00:02:32.320 Or Jesus himself then 0.62

00:02:50.540 Oh he's a Turk didn't you know 1.00

00:02:52.080 Therefore you have to have open borders 1.00

00:02:53.500 You can't have a country anymore 1.00

00:02:54.520 You must accept infinity Somalians into your country 1.00

00:02:57.340 Because St George was Turkish 1.00

00:02:58.800 Even though Turkey didn't exist 0.99

00:03:02.740 He wasn't Turkish

00:03:03.480 He was a Romanised Greek from Cappadocia 0.99

00:03:07.320 A bit different 1.00

00:03:08.680 Not that it matters

00:03:09.940 Not that it matters

00:03:10.920 I mean

00:03:11.880 He was a Roman soldier

00:03:16.140 Probably

00:03:18.520 In the Praetorian Guard

00:03:20.580 We're talking the very very early

00:03:22.420 Wait, what is it? The very, very early 4th century?

00:03:24.820 It's the age of Diocletian, isn't it?

00:03:28.780 We've got content all about Diocletian.

00:03:31.540 The generation before Constantine, Constantine the Great.

00:03:35.460 Diocletian, fascinating, absolutely fascinating Roman Emperor.

00:03:39.580 One of the most pivotal Roman Emperors.

00:03:41.840 The Tetrarchy, his story, anyone know this?

00:03:43.780 Do you know about this? You heard about this? You seen this?

00:03:47.260 The Roman Empire had gone through such tumultuous times

00:03:50.760 The Diocletian decided

00:03:54.260 You really needed four emperors

00:03:56.560 It was so massive now

00:03:57.540 It's too difficult for one emperor to control it all

00:03:59.860 You needed four emperors

00:04:01.580 Two senior Augustan emperors

00:04:04.780 And then two junior Caesars

00:04:07.360 Four emperors

00:04:09.720 The Tetrarchy 0.93

00:04:10.600 The Rule of Four

00:04:12.240 Absolutely fascinating Diocletian 1.00

00:04:17.880 Unbelievable human 0.99

00:04:18.880 career and life diocletian really really unbelievable sort of up there with with 0.98

00:04:24.080 augustus or hadrian or something that scarcely believable life and career

00:04:29.560 events he lived through in the end resigned as well that's extremely rare

00:04:35.380 isn't it in history extremely unbelievably rare just abdicated and

00:04:40.140 resigned near the end of his life because he was just had enough of it

00:04:44.260 hardly ever that happens what philip the second of spain did that didn't it

00:04:48.880 One of the old popes, that Ratzinger, what was his name?

00:04:53.880 One of the popes not long ago did it.

00:04:57.080 Very, very, very rare.

00:04:58.920 He just wanted to tend his garden.

00:05:00.840 He was done with politics. 1.00

00:05:03.560 After reworking the entire Roman world. 0.97

00:05:05.740 Anyway, one of the things he did was a Christian persecution. 0.93

00:05:11.240 We're in the generation before Constantine the Great, so. 0.90

00:05:14.780 Still completely, fully pagan Rome. 1.00

00:05:16.980 And Christianity was getting too big for its boots 0.82

00:05:22.380 In Diocletian's mind

00:05:23.920 He did some various persecutions

00:05:28.920 One of his soldiers in the Praetorian Guard

00:05:31.740 St George the Martyr

00:05:33.900 Was asked one way or another to renounce his faith

00:05:38.280 And wouldn't, so he was put to death

00:05:40.480 There you go 0.99

00:05:44.020 oh but it's turkish therefore in the 2020s you must accept infinity bangladeshes into england

00:05:53.460 what okay okay sure

00:05:59.540 all right should we move on from that

00:06:03.720 What's in the media today

00:06:09.740 What's on the front pages of the

00:06:11.920 What's Fleet Street going with

00:06:15.020 What's that cabal of evil editors

00:06:16.940 Lying to you about bio mission this morning

00:06:19.660 Trying to pretend it isn't or isn't important

00:06:22.660 Let's get into it

00:06:24.100 PM isolated and job concerns deepen

00:06:26.540 I think that's job concerns for him

00:06:29.100 The Prime Minister's job

00:06:30.420 I think

00:06:31.200 Yeah

00:06:31.940 So it's another

00:06:33.980 Starmer day

00:06:34.780 A bit

00:06:35.140 Well we had

00:06:35.800 Prime Minister's

00:06:36.440 Questions yesterday

00:06:37.360 So

00:06:37.720 I haven't found

00:06:40.680 Something better

00:06:41.140 Even though there's

00:06:41.600 A fair bit going on

00:06:42.400 In the Straits of Hormuz

00:06:43.280 And with Trump

00:06:44.100 And Iran

00:06:44.520 And everything 0.81

00:06:44.940 But

00:06:45.500 Fleet Street decided

00:06:47.420 They're going with

00:06:50.420 Just this again

00:06:52.020 So the Guardian

00:06:53.920 Guardian 0.91

00:06:57.360 So gross 0.92

00:06:59.920 So revolting 0.87

00:07:03.500 It says

00:07:05.200 PM isolated as cabinet divisions emerge over Manderson's scandal

00:07:09.400 Ministers warn against alienating civil servants after Robin's dismissal

00:07:14.660 Oh no, we can't alienate civil servants

00:07:17.440 In Bowes Britain

00:07:18.340 Sort of go to war with Whitehall

00:07:22.420 Sort of go to war with them

00:07:25.500 Clear a lot of it out

00:07:27.540 Make whole new departments

00:07:29.820 Staff them with people that are

00:07:32.480 Patriots and nativists 0.99

00:07:34.280 Start closing down

00:07:36.340 Start winding down and closing down old departments

00:07:38.740 That have just been too subverted

00:07:41.180 You might remember there was one time

00:07:46.160 I think it was

00:07:46.700 Preeti Patel at the home office

00:07:49.600 I think it was Preeti Patel 0.92

00:07:51.460 Managed to sort of force out

00:07:54.760 One of the permanent secretaries

00:07:56.360 it's like put so much pressure on him for so long that he ended up just retiring early

00:08:02.440 and there was this like big hoo-ha about that big furore about that like oh you can't you can't do

00:08:09.000 that the the permanent secretaries in whitehall you can't you can't bully them you can't order

00:08:16.640 them around yeah oh yeah bully them into oblivion clear them out fire them pass new laws so you can

00:08:24.000 get rid of them so we can control our country take our country back

00:08:29.680 civil servants give me a break wouldn't shed a single tear for a single civil servant

00:08:38.540 they're the ones running this country into the ground

00:08:44.680 Poor Olly Robbins

00:08:49.640 Yeah right

00:08:50.400 Yeah right

00:08:52.560 Olly Robbins

00:08:54.360 Did everything he could to

00:08:55.660 Thwart Brexit

00:08:57.340 Poor Olly Robbins

00:09:00.460 Won't anyone think

00:09:01.520 Of the career civil servants

00:09:04.920 Done with that

00:09:08.380 The idea that Preeti Patel 0.90

00:09:10.560 Was in some sort of hot water 0.54

00:09:11.860 With the mainstream media for

00:09:14.680 for getting rid, one way or another, of one of the permanent secretaries.

00:09:18.460 No, that would be one tiny drop of what I would do.

00:09:24.700 That would be half of 1% of what I would do.

00:09:31.340 If the civil service don't bend to the government 100%,

00:09:35.380 100%, they're gone.

00:09:39.020 I'll turn the world upside down, if it's up to me.

00:09:41.000 The idea that the government will have a policy

00:09:44.340 And the civil service just actively work against it

00:09:47.440 Fight against it

00:09:48.760 I remember a story a while ago, a few months ago

00:09:50.580 There was something, I think it was in the Ministry of Defence

00:09:52.420 Something or other

00:09:53.100 The government wanted to do something or other

00:09:55.340 Some policy

00:09:55.940 And they just wouldn't do it

00:09:57.980 The civil service were like

00:09:58.940 No, we don't like that

00:10:00.020 We think that's racist or something

00:10:02.040 So we're just not doing it

00:10:03.560 No, no, no, no

00:10:06.160 Oh no, not in Bowes Britain

00:10:08.140 That's not how that works

00:10:09.120 Now I'll turn the world upside down off the back of that

00:10:12.300 You're there to implement government policy

00:10:15.820 Nothing else

00:10:16.800 Nothing else

00:10:18.140 I don't care what the politics of the civil service are

00:10:22.520 If they don't like it

00:10:24.740 They'll get cleared out

00:10:27.980 Get removed

00:10:31.100 Government should dominate the civil service 100%

00:10:37.620 oh won't you think of the poor bullied civil servants no no i won't no i don't care

00:10:43.680 they're there to be bullied if anything they wouldn't be bullied if they just do as they were

00:10:48.800 told anyway calm down a little bit though yeah i know yeah i know right

00:10:56.420 in this with all that said in this case ollie robbins has almost certainly not really done 0.93

00:11:04.500 anything wrong and kistama is completely in the wrong and being a douchebag and lying

00:11:07.860 all right oh yeah right pm isolated he's isolated seems like lots of people in the cabinet even 0.74

00:11:17.100 they're just turning against him the party are lining up aren't they they're just waiting for

00:11:24.180 the 7th of may i read a long article this morning a quite long article all about what insiders are

00:11:31.280 saying. One Labour backbencher says this. One unnamed Labour peer says that. On and

00:11:37.000 on and on. Friends of West Streeting say da-da-da-da-da. They're all lining up. They're all just waiting

00:11:44.260 for the 7th of May when Labour get absolutely bodied in the local elections. And then who

00:11:58.620 knows what a lot of people are saying angela rayner angela the fridge rainer big bird

00:12:06.780 but apparently a lot of people inside this actual the parliamentary labour party all the mps

00:12:14.060 not the wider party all the members but just the actual mps a lot of them apparently not

00:12:19.180 not really behind ang the fridge

00:12:24.980 they uh they think she she can't win an election i mean labor won't win the next general election

00:12:31.440 whatever happens almost certainly i mean two and a half three years is a ways to go yet however

00:12:35.280 it's so deeply unpopular and running this country speed running it over the edge of a cliff

00:12:43.140 and they'll almost certainly lose the next election whoever they pick

00:12:46.200 Even a lot of the backbenchers

00:12:49.260 The parliamentary Labour Party

00:12:50.880 Feel like the fridge

00:12:53.580 But won't be able to win an election 0.88

00:12:56.060 She's not strong and charismatic enough 0.82

00:12:58.720 Hasn't got a good enough vision 0.99

00:12:59.840 And isn't likeable enough

00:13:01.000 And all those things

00:13:01.740 The X factor

00:13:03.140 That means you're like

00:13:04.420 You win elections

00:13:05.800 That's one thing about Tony Blair

00:13:07.040 Call him the lord of darkness or whatever

00:13:09.980 Blame him for this country

00:13:12.060 Being largely destroyed

00:13:14.720 Which I do

00:13:15.340 back in the day during his time he was an election winner right what he won three in a row or was it

00:13:23.580 four um three

00:13:27.420 97 2001 and 2006 anyway there's that certain something isn't there which means you you just

00:13:38.740 You play well with the country at large

00:13:41.360 Angela Rayner hasn't really got that has she 1.00

00:13:46.420 She's a bit dumb and obnoxious 1.00

00:13:49.320 A bit dumb sounding 1.00

00:13:51.860 Like her tongue's a bit too big for her mouth 1.00

00:13:53.860 Like Lisa Nandy's got that 0.92

00:13:55.220 Doesn't say anything

00:13:57.920 That's either sort of pithy and witty

00:14:01.480 Or deep and profound

00:14:03.460 She doesn't do either of those things

00:14:04.740 So

00:14:05.080 You know like Boris wasn't

00:14:08.740 particularly profound and a towering intellect

00:14:12.580 but he was quick and said things that were sometimes funny

00:14:15.960 and witty, pithy, right?

00:14:20.140 Then you've got Gordon Brown, who never won an election for himself, but

00:14:23.440 not funny, not pithy, not witty, but

00:14:26.700 undeniably deeply ensconced in the world of policy

00:14:32.200 you know, was very very serious 0.97

00:14:36.140 You ever want someone that's like a charismatic clown, like Boris, 0.91

00:14:40.160 or deeply, deeply serious, like Gordon Brown, 0.88

00:14:43.520 or that magic that Tony Blair had.

00:14:50.340 David Cameron had a little bit of it, right?

00:14:53.140 David Cameron had a little bit of that Blair magic.

00:14:57.380 Who's got that in Labour now?

00:15:00.740 Who?

00:15:02.060 Angela Rayner, not really.

00:15:05.000 Yvette Cooper?

00:15:06.140 Ed Ball's his wife. 1.00

00:15:08.880 She's just a bit boring and gross, isn't she? 1.00

00:15:11.680 She's a bit of a nothing. 0.99

00:15:13.120 She's not inspiring, is she?

00:15:14.600 In fact, Cooper.

00:15:15.740 Does she inspire you?

00:15:18.700 David Lammy, please.

00:15:20.040 Please.

00:15:23.340 West Streeting.

00:15:26.860 A bit of that squeaky clean Teflon thing to him.

00:15:31.140 But do people really like him?

00:15:32.800 Do people gravitate towards West Streeting?

00:15:34.340 Again, does he inspire you?

00:15:36.140 to make a better country we're streeting seems like a career politician i think i think more

00:15:43.820 than that like is there a fire in your belly to fight for the future that wedge streeting has

00:15:50.620 envisioned for britain no come on shabana no thanks no thanks ed milliband we've had ed milliband

00:16:02.060 had him he was the leader of the labor party for a few years stabbed his own brother david

00:16:05.820 milliband in the back to get that job indeed his own brother's career who is a better politician

00:16:10.700 than ed milliband and ed milliband has gone before the public before to try and win an

00:16:15.900 election and was roundly rejected because he's at a glance a complete freak

00:16:26.060 isn't he his movements and mannerisms and physiognomy and just everything about him

00:16:30.940 Just screams freakazoid

00:16:33.860 A weird man

00:16:36.260 A weirdo

00:16:37.160 People don't want that in their leader really

00:16:39.160 I'm afraid

00:16:41.360 Quite often it does come down to what you look like

00:16:44.460 It does really really help if you're good looking 0.91

00:16:47.400 It does really really hinder you if you're really really ugly 0.85

00:16:50.920 I'm afraid 0.96

00:16:53.100 Human psychology

00:16:55.120 Loads and loads of normies

00:16:56.620 Don't look much past what you look like

00:17:00.940 there'll be millions of voters

00:17:02.460 that kind of just size you up

00:17:04.940 on what you look like 0.99

00:17:05.840 they're like no he's weird and ugly 0.95

00:17:07.820 no I don't like it 0.96

00:17:08.900 oh it's mad isn't it

00:17:11.440 don't you want to read about the policies

00:17:13.320 don't you want to know what his world view is

00:17:14.740 and what his vision for the country is

00:17:16.300 no

00:17:16.480 no you just think he's a bit weird looking

00:17:18.320 so you won't vote for him

00:17:19.140 oh okay

00:17:19.620 that guy's more handsome

00:17:21.820 like David Cameron

00:17:22.600 he's like more normal looking

00:17:23.860 so I'll vote for him instead

00:17:25.180 all right guys

00:17:27.040 it's crazy

00:17:27.700 but that's how a lot

00:17:28.580 millions of people do it

00:17:30.940 could it be more low resolution could it be more sort of disappointing

00:17:34.460 that that's how things work sometimes a bit well there you go ed milliband doesn't doesn't

00:17:41.960 deserve it anyway ed milliband's had his shot the country had a look at a quick look at ed 0.97

00:17:47.260 milliband nah don't like it gross weirdo and of course his politics are insane

00:17:56.540 so again who is there really who is there on the labour front bench who could um you know

00:18:06.120 realistically step in well there is one mr andy burnham but of course he isn't on the

00:18:11.040 front bench is he he's currently the mayor of manchester so in other words not an mp not a

00:18:18.360 member of parliament and i think technically legally you don't have to be a member of parliament

00:18:24.280 but you can be the leader of a party and not in parliament like dave paulden real name

00:18:31.520 zach polanski real name dave paulden uh he's not an mp right he's the leader of the green party

00:18:39.300 the green party's got a small number of mps but he's the leader but yet not an mp himself so okay

00:18:45.040 that can happen could andy burnham become the leader of the labour party and yet not be an mp

00:18:52.220 I think technically by the letter of the law

00:18:57.340 That's possible

00:18:59.080 But in reality that's just not

00:19:00.800 In real real reality

00:19:02.240 In workable practice

00:19:04.260 That's not okay

00:19:05.380 He's going to need to be an MP

00:19:06.580 To be the Prime Minister

00:19:07.600 You're going to need to be in Parliament

00:19:11.140 Or at the very least be in the Lords

00:19:13.760 In the past we haven't had it for years

00:19:15.980 I mean what a century or more

00:19:18.040 You can be the Prime Minister and be a Lord

00:19:22.080 in the lords right you can that's sort of workable but to not be an mp or a lord at all

00:19:28.380 you he really needs to be an mp so apparently the labor party even the broader all the membership

00:19:35.120 would be happy to some degree with andy burnham because he's sort of people in the center of the

00:19:40.660 party and people on the left of the party both sort of and just about stomach him get along with

00:19:46.240 him he's sort of a unifying figure a little bit within the labor party but do you know what

00:19:51.200 happened with gaunton and denton do you remember that the idea the whole point of that if you

00:19:58.760 recall was that a labor mp would stand down in a very very safe labor seat they would stand down

00:20:06.280 make up something about oh they've got poor health i'm already disgraced anyway and i've got poor

00:20:11.480 health i want to spend more time with my family and there'll be a quick crow crow at some point

00:20:15.840 I'll get something else

00:20:16.660 I'll just stand down

00:20:18.180 We'll let Andy Burnham

00:20:20.240 Just win that seat

00:20:21.360 It'll have to be a by-election

00:20:22.280 Andy Burnham will win the seat

00:20:23.900 So that's what they did

00:20:24.880 That guy stood down

00:20:26.060 But then the Labour Party

00:20:27.380 Obviously Keir doesn't want

00:20:28.560 A leadership contest

00:20:29.500 Against Andy Burnham

00:20:30.360 Probably lose

00:20:30.960 So we just blocked him

00:20:33.060 From ever being selected

00:20:34.100 But the by-election

00:20:37.260 Has already been triggered

00:20:37.980 In a really really safe

00:20:40.160 Labour seat

00:20:40.840 Well we'll get somewhere

00:20:43.100 Alright there's a little bit

00:20:44.040 Of a shot in the dark

00:20:45.480 Andy Burnham was thwarted

00:20:47.340 Before he could even

00:20:47.940 Really get the thing going

00:20:48.840 We'll just have to swap out

00:20:50.260 That Labour MP

00:20:50.920 For another Labour MP

00:20:52.460 In that super safe Labour seat

00:20:53.900 Oops

00:20:54.300 No

00:20:54.920 The Green Party won it

00:20:56.300 Labour came third

00:20:58.380 Didn't they

00:20:58.860 Or even fourth

00:20:59.720 Reform came second

00:21:00.880 Didn't they

00:21:01.100 Matt Goodwin 0.95

00:21:01.700 Disgusting uni party shield 0.92

00:21:06.440 Matt Goodwin 0.99

00:21:06.980 Came second

00:21:07.640 Didn't he

00:21:08.020 So that didn't work out

00:21:09.420 Very well

00:21:09.900 For Labour

00:21:10.680 Did it

00:21:11.200 How embarrassing

00:21:12.520 From Labour's point of view

00:21:13.760 All of that was

00:21:15.480 Super, super safe, let's see.

00:21:19.460 Trying to contrive things to get Burnham in.

00:21:22.420 Oops, the Greens won it.

00:21:25.100 The Greens. 0.99

00:21:30.780 If only Mr Goodwin and Reform had appealed to the natives of Galton and Denton,

00:21:36.200 rather than the Sikh community, for example,

00:21:40.280 if only they'd actually said based things that were patriotic and nativist, 0.98

00:21:44.940 Probably would have won it

00:21:46.260 But no

00:21:47.540 There you go 0.96

00:21:50.260 The full Sivnat route 1.00

00:21:51.900 Because they're moral cowards 1.00

00:21:53.980 Weaklings 1.00

00:21:54.860 One more green

00:21:59.020 One more green MP

00:22:00.740 Brilliant 0.99

00:22:01.180 Alright

00:22:05.260 The PM is isolated

00:22:06.660 And divisions in cabinet

00:22:09.160 People like Ed Miliband

00:22:12.040 Yvette Cooper

00:22:12.880 David Lammy

00:22:13.640 One or two others

00:22:15.320 Have said

00:22:16.540 I don't necessarily stand behind

00:22:21.080 Exactly everything the Prime Minister

00:22:22.960 Is saying and doing right now

00:22:24.400 They're all lining up

00:22:26.960 They're all lining up

00:22:28.620 When they try and get Burnham in

00:22:31.820 I mean it's too difficult

00:22:33.700 Someone else, another Labour MP

00:22:35.860 Would have to

00:22:36.800 Resign, step aside

00:22:39.800 Trigger another by-election

00:22:41.720 And then Burnham win it

00:22:43.360 there's not enough time for all of that is there well well and

00:22:51.680 starmer and the the the inner sanctum of labor power have to select him as well so

00:22:58.720 could it be this is such a long shot this seems like such a crazy long shot to me

00:23:04.080 but after may the 7th there's a a leadership contest or a vote of no confidence starmer is

00:23:12.240 removed there's then an interim leader i guess david lammy because he's the he's the deputy

00:23:22.240 prime minister isn't he lammy is markang in the comments he'll be happy we get a brief period of

00:23:29.940 david lammy's interim prime minister during that interim some other labor mp somewhere steps down

00:23:39.340 The Lammy-led government

00:23:42.540 Selects Andy Burnham

00:23:44.340 Andy Burnham stands

00:23:46.380 Wins

00:23:47.360 Is then an MP

00:23:50.200 Then they have the new leadership contest

00:23:54.040 In the Labour Party

00:23:55.560 And Burnham wins it

00:23:57.180 And then you've got Burnham as Prime Minister

00:24:01.420 And leader of the Labour Party

00:24:02.600 And then what?

00:24:04.900 And then the Labour Party think they'll then win at the next election?

00:24:07.600 No

00:24:07.700 Almost certainly not

00:24:09.100 anyway right like the country loves andy burnham like he's a new tony blair like he can't fail to

00:24:15.080 win a general election no andy burnham's also a weirdo freak lefty full-blown uh champagne 0.99

00:24:22.160 socialist a gross person a horrible horrible weird person dirty filthy crypto communist 1.00

00:24:29.720 fabian society type wolfing wolfing sheep's clothing gross gross andy burnham just because 1.00

00:24:38.480 he comes across as reasonable 0.94

00:24:40.500 a way like David Cameron or something

00:24:44.520 would come across as just reasonable

00:24:46.120 someone you could sit down and just have a conversation with

00:24:48.080 don't be fooled

00:24:49.800 his politics aren't mad

00:24:51.660 further to the left than Keir Starmer

00:24:56.120 everyone accepts that

00:24:58.720 further to the left

00:25:00.720 just more open borders

00:25:04.440 more

00:25:06.100 childlike economics

00:25:08.180 Speed running us to the edge of a cliff

00:25:10.740 Off the edge of a cliff

00:25:12.280 Just more safe and legal routes

00:25:16.440 All that, all the same stuff

00:25:17.760 Andy Burnham, yep

00:25:20.320 What else have we got?

00:25:27.160 Doubts over peace talks as Iran seizes two ships

00:25:29.620 Yeah, remember Mr Trump says

00:25:31.460 We'll just have an indefinite ceasefire now

00:25:33.260 I did draw that line in the sand

00:25:36.580 Where I kept saying I'll blow up all your bridges

00:25:37.980 and power plants

00:25:39.760 you didn't blink

00:25:40.840 so now I'm just going to have

00:25:42.520 an indefinite ceasefire

00:25:43.400 okay

00:25:43.680 and Iran seizes two ships

00:25:46.120 in the Straits of Hormuz yesterday

00:25:47.360 if you work for the Wall Street Journal

00:25:54.060 and you write an article 1.00

00:25:54.880 calling Trump a sucker 1.00

00:25:56.660 the Iranians think he's a sucker 1.00

00:26:00.540 treating him like a sucker 0.99

00:26:01.440 then Trump himself will post about it 0.99

00:26:04.740 and get all butt hurt

00:26:05.520 Maybe because that jibe hit home 0.96

00:26:10.540 Don't threaten to blow people up 0.98

00:26:14.140 And kill them 0.99

00:26:14.700 And annihilate them 1.00

00:26:15.440 And maim them 1.00

00:26:16.040 A bunch of times 0.99

00:26:17.800 Unless they do something

00:26:20.140 And then when they don't do that thing

00:26:21.600 You then don't

00:26:22.940 Blow them up 1.00

00:26:23.920 And kill them 1.00

00:26:24.780 And maim them 1.00

00:26:25.260 What do you think? 1.00

00:26:35.520 Alright, the times, the venerable times

00:26:38.360 France must reduce migrant crossings to earn share of 110 million pounds 1.00

00:26:42.380 They're not going to, they're not going to

00:26:43.980 This is all in the news today

00:26:45.520 Apparently the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood

00:26:50.960 Has struck some sort of deal with the French

00:26:52.620 Another deal 0.91

00:26:53.300 Give the French some, like, 660 million more pounds 0.99

00:26:58.320 So the French police will stop the small boats from the French side 0.92

00:27:03.560 We've already done that haven't we

00:27:05.620 We've been playing that game for a few years now

00:27:07.420 Haven't we

00:27:08.040 We've already given them something like

00:27:09.740 Four or five hundred million pounds

00:27:12.000 Over the last few years

00:27:13.160 To pay for hundreds of French police

00:27:16.120 Six, seven hundred

00:27:17.920 Specialised French police

00:27:20.100 And they just don't do it do they

00:27:24.340 Every now and again

00:27:25.240 For performative reasons

00:27:26.440 They'll stop one of these small boats 0.96

00:27:28.740 One of these thingies

00:27:29.460 But mostly

00:27:30.080 They don't do anything at all

00:27:32.400 Literally nothing at all

00:27:33.560 literally nothing quite often was to stand there on the beach just watching 0.98

00:27:38.040 these migrant boats leave the french beach

00:27:45.000 but now we've signed another three-year deal 660 million pounds over three years

00:27:54.760 apparently it's going to pay for a bunch of drones and a couple of helicopters and another

00:27:59.880 50 or 100 odd

00:28:01.820 80 odd

00:28:03.280 More French police 0.99

00:28:04.560 To do nothing 1.00

00:28:05.880 We'll give them a year

00:28:11.500 It's a three year deal

00:28:12.500 But after one year

00:28:13.540 We'll review it

00:28:14.160 We'll have a look

00:28:14.580 See what's happening

00:28:15.480 After a year

00:28:16.240 Oh great

00:28:16.840 Oh just another year

00:28:17.960 Where another 40 or 50 thousand 0.91

00:28:19.700 Invaders 1.00

00:28:21.420 Invade our country

00:28:22.640 Meanwhile any given day

00:28:28.300 Any given day

00:28:30.300 They could put 4-2 commando in the channel

00:28:34.680 And stop the boats

00:28:36.880 In one day

00:28:38.800 You know, it's the one day

00:28:41.700 When they actually did something

00:28:44.660 But no, they won't do that

00:28:46.180 That would take some backbone

00:28:48.260 That would take acting in our interest, wouldn't it?

00:28:51.800 And they don't do that

00:28:52.540 They refuse to do that

00:28:53.600 That's the one thing they won't do

00:28:54.900 Actually try and protect us

00:28:58.300 I couldn't possibly do that

00:29:01.300 I couldn't possibly do something that's like

00:29:05.300 in the intro, like nativist

00:29:08.300 patriotic

00:29:11.300 no, just be invaded by more and more young fighting age 0.95

00:29:15.300 foreign fifth columnist invaders 0.74

00:29:18.300 whose rate of crime per capita

00:29:20.300 including some of the worst violent crime and sex crime

00:29:23.300 is through the roof

00:29:28.300 Because it's what they want

00:29:30.940 There's no other way to view it now

00:29:32.740 Surely they want it

00:29:34.140 Otherwise they would stop it

00:29:35.180 They can stop it

00:29:36.840 And they don't

00:29:38.260 Alright

00:29:38.540 Suella Breverman tried really hard

00:29:42.160 No she didn't

00:29:42.740 No she didn't

00:29:44.340 It was only Rishi and the civil service 0.97

00:29:47.100 That blocked Suella Breverman 0.82

00:29:48.320 From doing anything

00:29:48.980 No

00:29:49.160 PM should face a sleaze inquiry over Mandelson

00:30:01.600 Starmer under pressure from ministers and MPs

00:30:04.160 Okay, we got it

00:30:05.040 There's Anne Hathaway, beautiful Anne Hathaway

00:30:08.280 There's some new film, isn't there?

00:30:10.140 Devil Wears Prada 2

00:30:11.140 Really? They're returning to that one

00:30:13.620 I was forced by a girlfriend at the time

00:30:18.600 years and years ago, what is it, 10, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, I don't know, when the

00:30:22.380 first Devil Wears Prada film came out, I was sort of coerced into sitting down and watching

00:30:28.640 that at some point, a ridiculous film, a terrible, terrible film, so unbelievably, sort of unbelievably 0.96

00:30:38.040 vacuous and shallow, a disgusting film in my opinion, pretty disgusting, Devil Wears 0.98

00:30:48.180 Prada, speaks volumes about the malaise of our age, i.e. that fashion matters, the general

00:30:59.560 point that what you wear is a big chunk of who you are and stuff, that it really matters.

00:31:08.960 No it doesn't, no it doesn't. Anne Hathaway is gorgeous though, isn't she, I think so,

00:31:14.580 Even now

00:31:16.200 Alright

00:31:18.380 The Independent

00:31:19.380 What have we got here

00:31:22.920 This is the Straits of Hormuz 0.99

00:31:24.020 This is a US serviceman

00:31:26.240 If it's a marine or just a sailor

00:31:28.300 I don't know

00:31:28.660 Watching Iranian shipping

00:31:31.040 The Straits of Hormuz 0.99

00:31:33.060 Alright

00:31:33.400 PM fired Robbins before he could defend himself

00:31:38.100 As Starmer fights for survival

00:31:39.640 Sacked civil servants supporters

00:31:41.060 The sacked civil servants supporters

00:31:43.640 Demolish claim

00:31:44.880 He was dismissed after failing to explain

00:31:47.060 Why he didn't raise alarm about Mandelson

00:31:49.100 And he insists he was given no chance to save his job

00:31:51.900 So just another

00:31:54.340 Divergent point between the story

00:31:57.760 The narrative coming out from the government number 10

00:31:59.980 And Whitehall the civil service

00:32:01.780 Apparently

00:32:05.820 When was it last week

00:32:07.980 The beginning of last week

00:32:08.660 Was it Tuesday last week

00:32:09.620 Sir Oli was called to number 10

00:32:14.340 To explain himself

00:32:15.040 And before he even cleared

00:32:15.900 He was sort of immediately fired

00:32:17.520 It's all a bit he said

00:32:22.920 She said isn't it

00:32:23.920 Again I think it's a little bit of

00:32:26.140 Sleight of hand

00:32:27.640 Don't really care about that

00:32:29.420 Don't really care about that

00:32:31.340 I think I'll focus on the main thing here

00:32:34.200 Why was Mandelson

00:32:36.640 Given that job

00:32:39.620 I don't really care about, particularly, about Ollie Robbins.

00:32:46.760 What he did or didn't tell the Prime Minister when.

00:32:49.780 That's not the most important thing here, is it?

00:32:53.840 Why was Mandelson installed into that role?

00:32:57.960 Why did Keir Starmer, why did he so...

00:33:03.260 insist on it so hard?

00:33:06.180 Why?

00:33:06.320 Who was putting pressure on him to do that

00:33:09.720 And why

00:33:11.080 It's like the Epstein thing itself

00:33:16.800 All the misdirection of it

00:33:20.680 Oh there's his ranch in New Mexico

00:33:22.400 And there may be something about that

00:33:23.840 Oh look at this building on Little St James

00:33:26.880 And this interaction he had with Lutnik one time

00:33:31.420 No, who was controlling him

00:33:34.240 Who were his handlers

00:33:35.980 Who were his intelligence service handlers

00:33:38.340 And what was their plan

00:33:40.080 Oh Epstein attended a party one time

00:33:46.960 And like

00:33:47.520 Trump was there

00:33:49.920 And Elon might have been there

00:33:51.140 Elon sent an email once

00:33:52.520 To

00:33:53.180 You know

00:33:55.380 That doesn't matter

00:33:57.920 That's not the salient thing here

00:33:59.460 Who were Epstein's handlers

00:34:01.820 And what ultimately was their plan

00:34:04.060 And why

00:34:05.980 A lot of it is just massive misdirection, isn't it?

00:34:12.980 Talk about anything other than the main thing.

00:34:16.260 The main thing.

00:34:23.340 Okay.

00:34:25.540 Les Wexner.

00:34:27.200 I mean, it's Les Wexner, isn't it?

00:34:28.700 And Ehud Barak, isn't it?

00:34:29.940 That's what it is.

00:34:35.280 Okay.

00:34:35.980 Streeting allies now open to Rainer Pact with Cabinet losing confidence in PM.

00:34:41.300 Yeah, but Angela the Fridge Rainer, though, is still under investigation

00:34:43.940 by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs for not paying one of her taxes properly.

00:34:49.540 What was it, stamp duty or something, or some sort of housing tax.

00:34:52.960 She tried to cheat her way through that and is still under investigation from that 0.99

00:34:56.960 and surely can't really be Prime Minister or leader of a party until all that's finished.

00:35:01.780 Wes looking a bit fat, Lee.

00:35:05.980 Easy on the pyres mate. You've got no neck anymore. Where's your chin gone bro? Toad of Toad Hall there, isn't it? Alright.

00:35:23.980 Cabinet losing confidence in PM. Sir Keir Starmer's own cabinet are losing confidence in his leadership following Mandelson's security fiasco. Cabinet Minister tells the iPaper that they have lost patience with the Prime Minister.

00:35:35.980 and insists the entire cabinet would need to move collectively to depose him.

00:35:41.160 Bleak.

00:35:42.940 This is a quote from somebody in cabinet, an unnamed cabinet member.

00:35:47.160 Bleak, we need to come to a view.

00:35:49.560 I know what mine is.

00:35:53.260 Pension Secretary and London Mayor call for calm.

00:35:56.620 So they can't, then.

00:35:58.000 Because Starmer has still got his loyalists, complete loyalists.

00:36:01.300 The Pension Secretary, what was the guy's name?

00:36:03.660 I can't remember

00:36:05.260 He was on the TV the other day

00:36:06.660 They actually quite often

00:36:07.780 Weed him out

00:36:08.080 Was it

00:36:08.300 Is that Pat something

00:36:09.340 I can't remember

00:36:09.920 And Sadiq Khan

00:36:11.080 They're sort of loyalists

00:36:12.320 Because 1.00

00:36:12.540 Islam is 100% behind

00:36:14.940 Like the concept of Islamophobia 0.94

00:36:18.640 That any

00:36:19.820 Any criticism of Islam

00:36:21.140 Is just 0.97

00:36:21.600 Insane

00:36:22.580 Insane

00:36:23.120 And essentially criminal

00:36:24.440 It's all but criminal

00:36:25.780 Of course Sadiq Khan

00:36:27.600 Loves that

00:36:28.920 So he'll back him up forever

00:36:30.160 To the last possible

00:36:31.020 Moment

00:36:31.760 Allies of Health Secretary West Streeting

00:36:35.040 Are open to a pact with ex-deputy

00:36:37.680 Deputy PM Angela Rayner

00:36:39.740 In an attempt to unite centre and left

00:36:43.520 And avoid bloody leadership contest

00:36:45.660 Because if they all agree on one

00:36:47.820 You don't have to have a full-blown contest, right?

00:36:50.180 By the way, Gordon Brown

00:36:50.940 When Gordon Brown took over from Blair

00:36:53.260 There was no need for this election thing

00:36:56.080 That lasts weeks

00:36:56.980 Like when Ed Miliband

00:37:00.720 became the leader of the Labour Party there's weeks of campaigning between the four or five

00:37:04.980 different candidates and all the unions have to vote on it and all the members have to vote on it

00:37:09.140 and all the parliamentary party have to vote on it and there's a whole thing or they can just pick

00:37:15.040 they can just you know pick one like a coronation that's what happened to it's not truly a coronation

00:37:19.480 of course but colloquially speaking in inverted commas a coronation that's what happened with

00:37:23.640 Gordon Brown the parliamentary party was sort of unanimous it's brown so we don't have to go

00:37:28.380 through the rigmarole of a contest it is better for them isn't it for the labor party to do that

00:37:35.880 whether they could all unite around big bird 1.00

00:37:38.740 grandmother angela rayner and her stupid shoes 1.00

00:37:47.600 you ever seen her shoes no it's a bit weak sauce from me to talk about that but 1.00

00:37:53.740 She often wears stupid, stupid shoes 1.00

00:37:59.220 Like weird trainers that are like 1.00

00:38:01.780 In bad taste if he was a 12 year old

00:38:05.420 Okay, Angela Rayner

00:38:10.880 Prime Minister Rayner

00:38:16.240 Globetrotting

00:38:16.880 Going to the White House for like state dinners

00:38:19.040 As the leader of Great Britain

00:38:21.800 oh what an embarrassment all right obstacles to any deal include ideological differences

00:38:28.960 hm revenue and customs investigation into rainer yeah a bit of a stumbling block that is it

00:38:34.700 and bad blood after he helped to deselect her partner formerly an mp

00:38:40.680 awkward cabinet office chief and the pm's ex-chief of staff are summoned to parliament to give

00:38:50.260 evidence to MPs. It's that

00:38:52.260 Matt Doyle, now the Lord Doyle

00:38:53.980 and the old cabinet office chief

00:38:57.840 was it, what was his name?

00:39:00.420 Warmold. Was it Chris Warmold?

00:39:03.680 Is that right?

00:39:04.360 Right. Right.

00:39:06.860 Oh, it's 22 already. That went quick.

00:39:09.360 I thought it was only about 15 minutes in.

00:39:10.780 I'm 40 minutes in. Alright, let's have a look.

00:39:12.740 What else we got? The Daily Telegraph, the Toregraph.

00:39:15.080 Oh my God, this is sickening. 0.96

00:39:16.540 herma pursued witch hunt against troops despite warnings lord herma there a cuckoo in the nest 0.99

00:39:25.200 an absolute traitor the worst of the worst trying to persecute our soldiers 0.94

00:39:32.000 oppress our soldiers uh who didn't really do anything wrong 0.99

00:39:35.860 yeah

00:39:39.220 loads of the SAS

00:39:42.260 have quit

00:39:43.560 because they're being

00:39:46.040 hounded

00:39:46.920 by the law

00:39:50.020 for doing their job

00:39:52.420 what you get

00:39:55.440 loads

00:39:56.160 after we've been in a war

00:39:59.060 whether it be

00:39:59.820 Iraq and Afghanistan

00:40:01.600 earlier in the century

00:40:02.900 or Syria

00:40:04.080 The SS operating in Syria

00:40:06.260 On and off for years

00:40:07.320 Right

00:40:09.060 After that happens

00:40:10.340 They'll find

00:40:11.920 People that just lie about it

00:40:14.280 Just claim

00:40:14.760 Oh some British soldiers

00:40:16.660 Whether the SS or not 0.91

00:40:17.540 Some British soldiers came to our village

00:40:19.260 And murdered loads of people here

00:40:20.620 Complete lies 0.89

00:40:21.640 Just making it up

00:40:22.520 Just making it up

00:40:23.580 And then

00:40:26.580 Our lawyers will

00:40:28.360 Spend millions of pounds and years

00:40:30.760 Trying to prosecute our soldiers

00:40:32.420 For murder and things

00:40:34.080 Anything that undermines our society and our country

00:40:41.400 That's what Labour is, that's what Socialism is

00:40:44.400 Anything that undermines the homogeneity

00:40:47.820 Any sort of collective strength

00:40:50.900 Always has to be undermined and attacked

00:40:54.640 That's leftism, yeah

00:40:57.100 So in this one example

00:41:01.800 Soldiers in Iraq, I think

00:41:05.120 It was just lied about that they'd done war crimes and things

00:41:10.260 Look, Attorney General, Lord Hamer

00:41:12.980 Ignored concerns that Iraqi war crime allegations were false

00:41:17.100 As he worked on case against soldiers

00:41:19.780 That's nice, isn't it?

00:41:22.320 Our own lawyers actively working to try and convict our soldiers of murder and things

00:41:27.100 When they didn't do it, when it was false

00:41:28.180 Based on a lie

00:41:29.000 There you go, there's a little excerpt from

00:41:30.560 Emails

00:41:33.220 This guy Martin Day

00:41:36.400 To Richard Homer

00:41:38.140 At the end of the inquiry

00:41:40.160 There's this big inquiry like a 10 year long inquiry

00:41:42.400 Into whether our soldiers did

00:41:43.840 Murders in Iraq

00:41:45.040 After the end of that

00:41:47.400 An email sent to him says

00:41:48.880 At the end of the inquiry

00:41:50.360 It seems to me odds unlikely

00:41:52.700 We are going to get a judgement

00:41:54.700 Going to get a judgement

00:41:55.880 That the claims that our soldiers murdered

00:41:58.580 Iraqis for no reason

00:42:00.020 That those claims are nonsense

00:42:01.980 And that this was a group of Iraqis

00:42:04.860 On the make 1.00

00:42:05.500 Politically or financially motivated

00:42:08.280 Which is in fact what happened

00:42:10.660 Yeah

00:42:10.860 The inquiry

00:42:12.540 This one particular inquiry

00:42:14.140 Found

00:42:15.660 It was complete lies 1.00

00:42:17.980 The Iraqi people found 1.00

00:42:21.760 A sympathetic ear 1.00

00:42:23.740 In someone like

00:42:24.540 Lord Hermer

00:42:25.960 Richard Hermer

00:42:26.680 And just made up stuff

00:42:28.020 Ten years of our soldiers being persecuted

00:42:31.420 Living under a pool

00:42:33.780 Being a murderer

00:42:34.860 And going to prison for that

00:42:35.960 If they were found guilty of course

00:42:37.720 And then Richard Herman replies to that guy

00:42:40.940 Saying it's all made up 1.00

00:42:43.360 It's just Iraqis on the make 1.00

00:42:45.020 Lying 1.00

00:42:47.120 He said

00:42:48.700 I think the line to fill

00:42:52.720 Works in making

00:42:53.840 Works in making sure

00:42:56.040 That the big story is out there

00:42:57.840 Just a general impression 0.99

00:43:00.020 Just a general impression that British soldiers are evil murderers 1.00

00:43:03.180 Oh, it doesn't really matter that it was all lies by Iraqis 1.00

00:43:06.440 We've got the big story out there 1.00

00:43:08.340 We've managed to give the general impression of a smear

00:43:12.460 That's the main thing

00:43:14.920 Whilst giving us some wiggle room if the killings did not in fact happen

00:43:23.660 Some wiggle room

00:43:25.100 I mean 0.98

00:43:28.740 Could you be more sort of treasonous, traitorous 0.97

00:43:31.860 Could you be sort of 0.99

00:43:33.240 Why are you actively working to undermine us

00:43:38.920 Like this

00:43:40.620 Meanwhile, years later

00:43:46.700 Starmer gets in

00:43:48.340 He's the Attorney General

00:43:49.600 He's the guy

00:43:50.240 Lord Hammer

00:43:53.340 On why you're at it, Lord Herma

00:43:57.460 You couldn't work to sort of give away

00:43:59.280 Some of our foreign overseas territories

00:44:02.140 As cheaply and easily as possible, could you?

00:44:05.180 Could you do that?

00:44:07.320 Try and give away the Chagos Islands

00:44:09.400 Of strategic importance, yeah?

00:44:12.640 That's on your docket now, bro

00:44:13.980 Go to it

00:44:15.880 Lord Herma

00:44:18.260 Okay

00:44:22.540 it's over cabinet turns on starma over manderson scandal okay the financial time financial times

00:44:30.360 iran seizes two ships and show a force has bid to revive peace talks founders yeah there won't

00:44:35.600 be peace talks iran again aren't sending any sort of delegation or anything they're not interested

00:44:41.240 in peace talks they've told the americans what what their position is which is we won't give up

00:44:49.520 our sovereign right to enrich uranium there you go white house there you go state department

00:44:59.760 take it or leave it there you go bomb us back to the stone age then if that's what you're gonna do

00:45:03.760 that's that's iran's position your move no we're not going to give up our right to enrich uranium

00:45:11.760 i mean i think he's mad don't get me wrong from me saying that like i'm on their side i'm not

00:45:17.440 Islamic theocracies 0.58

00:45:19.360 Oppressive Islamic theocracies 1.00

00:45:21.900 That insist on the right 1.00

00:45:23.640 To enrich uranium to weapons grade

00:45:25.340 Yeah I'm not on side with that

00:45:26.760 Yeah

00:45:28.700 They're mad

00:45:30.840 They're mad 1.00

00:45:31.800 Disgusting and mad 1.00

00:45:33.420 But that's their position 1.00

00:45:36.820 So

00:45:37.120 So what's Trump and Hegseth and Rubio

00:45:41.540 Going to do

00:45:41.960 The ball is in their court

00:45:45.160 What are they going to do about it

00:45:46.620 There was talk

00:45:51.500 There's been talk for a while

00:45:52.600 For weeks in fact

00:45:55.020 That

00:45:55.940 The idea

00:45:57.960 Of the US doing a giant

00:46:01.680 Special forces raid

00:46:03.080 Deep into Iran

00:46:05.420 Like at Isfahan and stuff 0.93

00:46:06.980 Deep deep deep in Iran

00:46:09.220 Send hundreds and hundreds of special forces 0.58

00:46:11.880 Operators and engineers

00:46:13.960 And even

00:46:15.520 civilian nuclear experts around the sites where this now buried enriched uranium is

00:46:25.580 create a perimeter like maybe use the airborne like big chunks of the marine corps create a

00:46:32.120 perimeter around these sites like natans or wherever it is and then for days and days and

00:46:37.040 days probably perhaps even weeks use like all sorts of heavy equipment bulldozers and everything

00:46:44.380 It was required

00:46:45.320 To dig out

00:46:46.740 The uranium

00:46:48.240 Which is only buried

00:46:49.620 Because of Operation

00:46:50.440 Midnight Hammer

00:46:51.060 Remember

00:46:51.480 But it's buried

00:46:53.980 At the moment

00:46:54.580 Apparently

00:46:55.220 That's the story

00:46:55.980 Dig it out

00:46:57.040 Get it

00:46:57.880 Bug out

00:46:59.560 And fly away

00:47:00.360 Probably the biggest

00:47:03.240 Special Forces

00:47:03.920 Set of raids

00:47:05.260 Ever

00:47:05.640 To

00:47:08.100 To grab 0.94

00:47:09.520 Iran's

00:47:10.440 Nuclear material

00:47:12.460 i mean whether that will happen or not i don't know i suspect not i don't know

00:47:20.200 there's been all sorts of talk of it hasn't there but whether they will whether trump will do that

00:47:25.860 i don't know that could it could end in a bloodbath couldn't it

00:47:29.680 for the americans like they could lose loads and loads and loads of guys

00:47:32.880 maybe not might work perfectly maybe the the irgc the actual iranian

00:47:39.100 Army if you like

00:47:41.500 Are on their last legs

00:47:42.920 And you know

00:47:44.220 In a one on one firefight

00:47:45.740 They don't stand a chance against

00:47:47.060 Like a member of SEAL Team 6

00:47:48.440 Do they?

00:47:49.040 One on one

00:47:49.600 Not even close

00:47:51.100 The Americas are

00:47:52.400 Much much much much more

00:47:54.300 Highly trained

00:47:55.080 With the best possible equipment

00:47:56.960 But

00:47:57.900 But what if 1.00

00:48:02.220 The Iranians send in 0.99

00:48:03.780 10,000 guys 1.00

00:48:05.360 Against you know like

00:48:07.660 500 or something

00:48:08.620 Might eventually overrun them 0.98

00:58:43.320 King Brian Boru

00:58:44.880 Of Ireland

00:58:46.260 defeats Viking forces at the Battle of Clontarf

00:58:50.520 freeing Ireland from foreign control

00:58:53.760 well for a while 0.99

00:58:54.540 for a while

00:58:57.400 there's a painting

00:59:00.640 there's a painting at the Battle of Clontarf

00:59:04.500 on this day in 1597

00:59:09.260 William Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor

00:59:11.740 is first performed with Queen Elizabeth I of England

00:59:15.720 in attendance. Now, scholars and historians talk a fair bit about the life of William

00:59:24.360 Shakespeare. There's a little bit of controversy and argument about him, what we do or do not

00:59:32.200 know about him for sure. A lot of people say that all those plays and poems attributed

00:59:38.960 To William Shakespeare

00:59:39.900 Can't possibly be one person

00:59:42.660 That

00:59:45.680 William Shakespeare may well have been

00:59:48.460 Someone else entirely

00:59:49.720 All that sort of stuff

00:59:51.580 Well we do know there was certainly

00:59:53.180 A William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon

00:59:56.320 Who came to London and was a playwright

00:59:58.060 Whether every single thing

01:00:01.120 That's attributed to him is

01:00:02.760 Is perhaps something else

01:00:04.080 But on Epoch

01:00:05.360 It wasn't even that long ago

01:00:07.140 Harry

01:00:07.460 it wasn't even that long ago i think it was at the beginning of this year

01:00:11.700 i did a long form bit of content like an hour and a half was it two hours even all about the

01:00:18.100 life of shakespeare the true history what we do and do not know and unfortunately the historical

01:00:25.380 record is kind of scant on him we haven't got loads and loads of details of exactly where he

01:00:30.340 went and when but there's no doubt that he was a real historical figure though one of the things

01:00:35.780 that is well documented one of the various data points in his life that is very well documented

01:00:40.920 is that is one time when he was already famous as a playwright in london the queen herself had

01:00:49.140 heard of him and liked him he was the most famous playwright of the living at the time basically

01:00:53.800 and she said i want him to write something and then come and perform it for me at my in in my

01:01:01.480 court and he did and that's that she said she and it said that she loved it and that's one of those

01:01:09.640 things that you can pinpoint you say well that is definitely true lots of other things are a bit

01:01:13.380 rumor and conjecture about william shakespeare but that is sort of firm firm moment in history

01:01:20.580 there you go all right on this day in 1861 robert e lee is named commander of virginia's confederate

01:01:27.000 forces during the US Civil War, he came very close to joining the Union. In fact, when

01:01:31.840 the war broke out, Mr. Lincoln, well, Robert E. Lee was Mr. Lincoln's first choice to lead

01:01:38.320 the army of the Potomac. He wanted him to lead the army of the Union. And Robert E.

01:01:43.820 Lee couldn't make up his mind for a while, like a day or so. He was like completely conflicted.

01:01:49.060 Shall I fight for my... Because people thought of your state as your country back then,

01:01:55.820 It's like you were a Virginia man first

01:01:59.600 And then you were a citizen of the United States

01:02:06.840 But my country is Virginia

01:02:09.000 Funny thing, people don't really think like that anymore, do they?

01:02:13.580 Back then they did, very often

01:02:14.840 Not always, but often

01:02:16.020 In the generation before, in the Revolutionary War

01:02:20.360 It's like, I'm a Massachusetts man first

01:02:22.340 First and foremost

01:02:23.280 That's my country, Massachusetts

01:02:25.600 And then I'm a member of the United States

01:02:28.720 Extra to that

01:02:30.140 Anyway

01:02:31.000 By the second half of the 19th century

01:02:33.620 That view was less common

01:02:35.440 But that's what Robert E. Lee thought

01:02:36.900 That's the conclusion he came to

01:02:38.000 He was like

01:02:39.060 Should I fight for the United States

01:02:40.600 Or my country, Virginia

01:02:43.100 In the end he chose

01:02:45.680 It was a close run thing

01:02:46.740 In the end he chose

01:02:48.940 Virginia and the Confederacy

01:02:50.640 What's the betting?

01:02:54.740 And I've got loads of content about the Civil War

01:02:56.380 American Civil War

01:02:57.760 Hours and hours and hours from various different angles

01:03:00.080 About various things

01:03:00.940 Oh yeah, it's all there

01:03:03.080 It's all there

01:03:04.920 My first video ever on History Bro was about the American Civil War

01:03:07.900 Fascinated by it, always have been

01:03:10.180 Alright, on this day in 1968

01:03:37.180 and crowns and shillings i've had explained to me a number of times i've read about it more than

01:03:43.760 once and even to this day i don't quite get it probably should okay on this day

01:03:52.680 In 1984, the AIDS virus is identified.

01:03:55.460 All right, okay.

01:03:56.500 Okay, I don't care about that, really.

01:03:59.040 All right, should we have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats?

01:04:01.800 Let me do this so I can see my screen.

01:05:29.180 Less than a dozen

01:05:30.000 Have got the order of the garter

01:05:31.540 I don't know

01:05:32.620 I actually really don't know

01:05:34.160 But it's not that many

01:05:34.820 They hardly hardly

01:05:36.600 Ever ever ever

01:05:37.560 Give it out

01:05:38.120 And yeah

01:05:41.220 Edward the third

01:05:43.020 Started that

01:05:43.760 Gave it to his own son

01:05:45.160 The black prince 0.98

01:05:45.920 for services rendered at Cressy

01:05:49.860 or was it Poitiers

01:05:51.340 Battle of Poitiers

01:05:52.100 Battle of Tours Poitiers is the same thing by the way

01:05:55.040 anyway

01:05:55.600 to this day one of the highest possible

01:05:59.480 things you could be given

01:06:01.200 in Rajad Kipling's

01:06:05.700 the man who would be

01:06:06.400 in Rajad Kipling's

01:06:09.160 the man who would be king

01:06:10.120 he has it that some of his characters think

01:06:12.860 the highest thing you could ever attain

01:06:15.380 Would be to be the Viceroy of India

01:06:18.740 And get the Order of the Garter

01:06:20.960 There's nothing higher than doing that

01:06:26.080 That's the highest possible achievement in the world

01:06:28.080 There you go, okay

01:06:30.700 So on this day, that was started in 1348

01:06:38.440 Alright, it used to say

01:06:40.280 in 1661

01:06:43.020 Charles II was crowned in Westminster Abbey

01:06:46.040 so the restoration of the monarchy

01:06:48.280 Charles II

01:06:49.180 after his father had his head

01:06:52.300 locked off

01:06:52.840 the interregnum of

01:06:55.760 Oliver Cromwell

01:06:56.660 very very very brief

01:07:00.020 thing of Richard

01:07:01.880 Cromwell, Queen Dick

01:07:04.020 and then

01:07:06.120 General Monk

01:07:06.820 an army man, General Monk

01:07:10.280 He's sort of in control, de facto, for a while, I suppose.

01:07:15.700 They're like, we really need a king, though.

01:07:19.900 In lieu of someone very, very, very strong, like Oliver Cromwell,

01:07:23.840 we're going to need a king back.

01:07:26.780 There is Charles II, like, in France.

01:07:30.360 We could just get him back after everything.

01:07:34.220 After a generation of civil war, effectively.

01:07:37.020 Just restore the monarchy again.

01:07:39.180 That's what they did.

01:07:40.280 and on this day in 1661 he comes back there you go all right global church history finally says

01:07:47.960 and on this day in 2005 the first youtube video me at the zoo was published okay i didn't know

01:07:54.520 that that's interesting i wonder if it's still on youtube i'll have to i probably will check

01:08:00.840 that out just just purely out of curiosity after this show go back into the office just over there

01:08:08.040 Just off screen

01:08:09.640 In another room but just there

01:08:12.560 Me at the zoo

01:08:15.060 I don't know if it's still there

01:08:17.800 Alright

01:08:18.560 Okay

01:08:21.400 Forteen Barber says

01:08:24.980 Thank you sir, you too

01:08:25.900 Happy St George's Day

01:09:25.480 Oh another one just came in for Rumble Rants

01:09:27.000 I'll read it

01:09:27.380 It literally just appears that moment

01:09:29.260 From JC Warlock

01:09:31.340 Says

01:09:31.940 St George

01:09:34.420 Like the same George

01:09:36.360 That has the castle in Scotland

01:09:37.800 That looks like a dragon's head

01:09:39.540 The Loch Ness Monster

01:09:40.640 Alright, you're the guy that talks about that

01:09:42.760 Yeah

01:09:45.200 I mean, St George is revered, venerated

01:09:47.500 All around the world

01:09:48.800 Loads and loads

01:09:50.100 If you go on Wikipedia

01:09:50.820 And look at all the different

01:09:52.040 Countries and

01:09:54.080 Places and organisations

01:09:55.760 And things that

01:09:56.900 Use the St George's Cross

01:09:59.360 Or

01:09:59.680 The memory of St George in various ways

01:10:02.600 Loads

01:10:03.520 Loads

01:10:04.820 Loads and loads and loads and loads

01:10:08.500 It's not just England

01:10:09.320 Georgia, the country of Georgia for example 1.00

01:10:13.540 Loads 1.00

01:10:17.740 It's a classic martyr 1.00

01:10:19.400 The early Christian martyrs 1.00

01:10:22.340 It's often the Romans 1.00

01:10:23.860 You must renounce your monotheistic faith 1.00

01:10:28.780 Otherwise we will kill you 1.00

01:10:30.800 They say, no, kill me then 1.00

01:10:56.180 Sorry if I'm not pronouncing that correctly

01:11:03.360 Aristotle Luton

01:11:18.060 Says

01:11:19.400 Pardon me

01:11:22.920 Says

01:11:23.340 You've all been kind and friendly to the man with the beard

01:11:27.080 Will you be entering the best beard competition

01:11:29.960 2026 1.00

01:11:30.920 What did you do with Big Chungus 0.79

01:11:34.000 I'm not entering any sort of beard competition 0.85

01:11:40.000 It's not a terrible beard

01:11:42.260 But it's no Lewis Brackpool

01:11:44.140 Is it

01:11:44.620 Seen Lewis Brackpool's beard

01:11:48.060 That's a beard

01:11:48.720 That's a proper beard that one

01:11:51.320 Can't fault it

01:11:53.160 Immaculate

01:11:57.080 Mine's alright, but it's not going to win any competitions, is it?

01:12:04.040 I should actually do more too.

01:12:07.300 I very rarely, like, properly, I prefer a little bit of a more wild man element to it.

01:12:15.460 A little bit more Uncle Albert than George V.

01:12:19.400 Lewis Brackpool's beard.

01:12:23.080 George V, on point.

01:12:24.540 czar nicholas ii all the way down to the last detail i let this just go a bit

01:12:31.020 not going to win any competitions is it okay thanks so nice of you to say

01:12:35.800 the figure 13 ben robert smith in australia oh that's the that's the um

01:12:42.400 um victoria cross winner the australian sas dude that won a victoria cross

01:12:49.420 the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy

01:12:53.140 and they're trying to put him on trial for murder

01:12:57.100 Ben Robert Smith in Australia is also being falsely accused of war crimes in Afghanistan

01:13:04.540 seems a coordinated attack against special forces

01:13:07.820 because they're trying to undermine everything that we are

01:13:12.180 including our ability to defend ourselves

01:13:14.400 that's leftism, that's socialism

01:13:17.600 that's communism they can't have strong brave powerful men like special forces operators

01:13:27.260 or what some insanely brave and strong australian super chad quite literally a super chad

01:13:40.460 right we'll laser like focus on him and destroy him ruin his reputation and life put him in prison

01:13:47.280 If we can

01:13:47.780 Yeah, oh yeah

01:13:48.520 Classic

01:13:49.100 Of course

01:13:50.020 Yeah, of course

01:13:51.400 Of course 1.00

01:13:54.740 They're scum, aren't they? 1.00

01:13:57.360 It's the politics of resentment 1.00

01:13:58.640 Weakness and resentment

01:14:00.060 Is leftism

01:14:00.980 They see someone else that's strong

01:14:04.380 And successful

01:14:05.940 And noble

01:14:06.680 Must rip it down 0.96

01:14:09.200 Must rip it down

01:14:10.360 Cavity Taster

01:14:14.440 Says

01:14:15.980 this harry chap is highly uncultured i'm a zoomer and get 70 of your references

01:14:23.340 oh shots fired harry i think he's talking about you i am pretty uncultured 0.80

01:14:28.880 shots fired okay sometimes my references are pretty obscure you have to be you have to you

01:14:41.000 would have to be British and at least 40 years old. I try to keep those to a

01:14:45.720 minimum because that's relatively niche isn't it. I suspect there's a decent

01:14:49.640 chunk of the audience of the Bo Show that are that but probably the majority

01:14:53.880 aren't. But no that's cool if you get if you're a 0.71

01:14:57.240 Zoomer and you get most of them. Good, good. 1.00

01:15:01.840 OK. I-X-Z-O-Y-T. Surely there's no other way to read that than just the letters. I-X-Z-O-Y-T says,

01:15:14.760 Hi Bo, great breakfast show as usual. Thank you. Exclamation mark. Cheers. Appreciate that.

01:15:30.640 thank you thank you for the super chat i mean fair enough it would have been recorded

01:15:35.380 surely it was well i don't i say surely i don't know i was vaguely aware of that but wasn't it

01:15:41.920 like a really old recording like they've got old recordings of like tupac or elvis

01:15:45.820 they were originally recorded back in the day is that not the case for that one anyway

01:15:52.920 fair point fair point fair point all right and the last one is it the last one today yeah
