00:00:25.660 July already

00:00:26.540 Seems like just the other day doesn't it?

00:00:28.900 We were starting the show at the beginning of the year

00:00:30.940 Beginning of January just the other day

00:00:32.120 You're the glorious band, the chosen few, my band of brothers and sisters

00:00:35.760 The very best among us

00:00:36.740 Thank you for joining me

00:00:37.720 Without you, it isn't a thing

00:00:39.060 As always, I'm joined by my producer, Little Harry

00:00:40.900 How are you this morning? Good, sir?

00:00:42.380 Morning, yeah, I'm all good

00:00:43.600 The disembodied voice of Little Harry there

00:00:47.580 Who, if you're new, isn't little

00:00:49.860 He's a normal-sized guy, he's a bit taller than me

00:00:52.440 We've just got a much bigger Harry in the office, haven't we?

00:00:55.400 Harry Robinson

00:00:55.920 Big Harry, Little Harry

00:00:57.720 Little Harry's not little

00:00:58.880 he doesn't mind he doesn't mind he's comfortable in and of himself he's comfortable in his own

00:01:03.820 skin he doesn't mind okay just get into it why are we faffing about there's no need for that

00:01:09.160 sort of fannying about is there let's just get straight into it okay so it's a football day

00:01:12.420 i will keep it to a minimum i know i've heard i've heard what the glorious band the chosen few

00:01:18.360 think about uh sports ball you largely don't care although it was like when we done a poll or two

00:01:25.020 about it there was about a quarter of you still wasn't there that cared it's on every single front

00:01:29.680 page other than the financial times but I'll keep it to a complete minimum all right Kane to the

00:01:36.660 rescue that's Harry Kane that's this football player here used to play for Tottenham now plays

00:01:41.180 for Bayern Munich I think didn't he okay Kane to the rescue it was the great escape it was the

00:01:49.140 great escape and defense black hole triples the spending in the defense

00:01:54.000 budget it was like 4.75 billion pounds short now they're realizing it's

00:02:00.140 actually 15 billion pounds short or something like that in that ballpark and

00:02:04.540 that's the whole that was the whole increase so in other words there was

00:02:09.020 there was no money for this increase it was all a fiction up to this point no

00:02:14.920 sterner burner will have to find all the money all the money all right all right so let's get

00:02:20.100 into it the metro who do you think you are who do you think you're talking to look at your state 0.88

00:02:29.340 here the metro gross subversion absolutely ridiculous all right we'll talk about it once 0.64

00:02:37.400 here and then won't talk about it hardly again let's say the football england beat congo 2-1

00:02:42.380 all right there you go they went one nil down after about seven minutes most of the game england

00:02:46.840 were one nil down and then in the last 15 minutes harry kane scored two goals half decent header and

00:02:51.740 the winning goal was actually quite good blasted it in right 18 yards or whatever all right that's

00:02:58.600 it that's all that's all i'll say that's it oh whatever and next thing we'll probably play or

00:03:02.640 i think we just do play mexico in the next round in the final 16 in the mexico city and like they

00:03:09.860 haven't lost a game since like 2013 in that stadium, something like that, Mexico and no 0.98

00:03:16.260 slouches, you don't get to the last 16 of the World Cup by accident, so that will probably

00:03:21.020 be quite a tough game, put England's chance at 50-50 of winning that one, alright, so

00:03:26.140 oh dear me that was close, oh dear me, oh dear me, oh democratic republic me that was

00:03:34.900 close, there's a few puns today, there's a few puns, but we'll move on, I said I'll

00:03:39.200 it to a minimum i will i will all right the star there's harry kane again celebrating the win

00:03:44.240 harry houdini

00:03:48.480 there's a few harry work there's a few word a few bits of wordplay revolving around the name harry

00:03:54.880 cry harry and saint george they didn't do that one i don't think actually but king and there's

00:04:00.800 a king harry later we get you know like henry v king harry and okay the star go with harry

00:04:08.800 houdini it was an escape act this is an escape artist who escaped losing and getting knocked

00:04:15.360 out of the world cup okay okay we'll whip them we'll get to other stories today because most of

00:04:20.800 the front pages are the football and i said i'll keep it to a minimum so we'll talk about loads of

00:04:24.480 other things today they go look the mirror uh it was touch and go because the managers like called

00:04:29.360 touch or to tool it's touch and go for harry all right and the england lions the sun again harry

00:04:36.400 I told you it was every single one, wasn't I?

00:04:37.960 And we've been through them quick, though, haven't I?

00:04:39.600 All right.

00:04:41.400 Hero Harry to the rescue.

00:04:42.740 Right.

00:04:45.800 Kung Fu. 0.60

00:04:49.100 Kung Fu.

00:04:52.120 Right.

00:04:53.520 The male.

00:04:54.360 Thank heavens for King Harry.

00:04:55.720 There you go.

00:04:56.120 Thank heavens for King Harry.

00:04:57.400 All right.

00:04:57.760 Here's a different story.

00:04:58.480 The last.

00:05:01.460 Panel that rejected major screening program for prostate cancer a week or two ago.

00:05:06.180 Remember that? We talked about it

00:05:07.180 That panel that rejected major screening programme

00:05:10.380 Had no specialists in the cancer

00:05:13.000 Prostrate cancer 1.00

00:05:13.740 And no black voices 1.00

00:05:15.840 Don't really care about the black voices 1.00

00:05:17.720 They didn't have any female 0.99

00:05:20.020 Female, transgender

00:05:22.380 Neurodivergent 1.00

00:05:26.420 Crippled black voices 1.00

00:05:28.340 But no specialists in the cancer 1.00

00:05:31.940 That is a bit

00:05:32.660 Might be nice to have

00:05:36.140 had one, hadn't it? Fresh fury at prostate betrayal. The decision to reject a major screening

00:05:46.100 program was made by a committee that did not contain a single prostate cancer expert, the

00:05:51.940 Daily Mail can reveal, hmm, hmm, you would have thought, you would have thought they,

00:06:03.520 you would have that, if not the whole committee made up of it, nearly all of it, but no, not

00:06:11.140 one, that's the state of sort of managerial, like that's the state of, like the managerial

00:06:16.920 Nature of the NHS

00:06:17.880 Is you end up with this massive layer of managers

00:06:21.080 It's a classic thing in military history

00:06:23.420 Because that sort of is really my

00:06:26.240 My forte, really ancient history

00:06:28.760 And or military history

00:06:30.560 Or ancient military history

00:06:31.740 The level of how many officers to men you've got

00:06:37.940 That's a classic thing that military historians look at and talk about

00:06:41.080 In other words, if you've got too many officers

00:06:43.840 Compared to how many men there are

00:06:46.920 that's bad and that speaks of a terrible imbalance a terrible problem something fundamentally wrong

00:06:52.440 with your army if you ever find yourself in that situation in all different for various different 0.98

00:06:58.040 reasons the nhs seems to suffer from something like that there's this whole class giant class

00:07:03.540 of managers in the nhs if you like some sort of equivalent maybe of officers the people actually

00:07:09.580 in the trenches like the nurses the people that clean the hospitals and even doctors to an extent

00:07:14.880 There's this level of

00:07:16.880 Managers that aren't

00:07:18.860 Like actual medical professionals

00:07:20.560 And there seems to be

00:07:21.760 Far too many of them

00:07:23.720 Too many cooks spoil the broth

00:07:25.180 Or a great quote

00:07:28.800 Like I said it on the podcast

00:07:29.760 The other day

00:07:30.080 It was Abraham Lincoln said 1.00

00:07:31.140 Too many pigs for the tits 1.00

00:07:32.580 Can we say tits on the bow show? 1.00

00:07:38.740 I might be talking about blue tits

00:07:39.940 The bird

00:07:40.560 Alright

00:07:44.880 Moving on

00:07:45.820 That's probably a borderline

00:07:47.140 Probably shouldn't have said that

00:07:48.340 Try and keep it clean 1.00

00:07:50.740 Might be Keely Winks in the room 1.00

00:07:51.920 Apologies

00:07:52.560 Alright

00:07:53.240 Byron Hersey Alley warns us that 1.00

00:07:56.660 Is the Mist want to dominate and not integrate 1.00

00:07:58.440 Yeah we know 0.99

00:07:58.980 Yeah we know

00:07:59.600 We all know

00:08:00.400 Thanks

00:08:00.820 Thanks

00:08:02.320 The Daily Telegraph

00:08:04.200 The Toreograph 1.00

00:08:05.140 It's been bought out by Germans 1.00

00:08:08.280 Obviously Harry Kane 1.00

00:08:10.020 Winning their game

00:08:11.100 Defence black hole triples to £15 billion

00:08:14.080 pounds number 10 admits it cannot explain where cuts will come from to boost cash for military

00:08:19.800 right i mean you've had your whole time in government to be working that sort of thing

00:08:26.600 out it was literally on the docket from day one that something like that needed to be sort of

00:08:31.780 worked out and certainly the last few weeks or months it's it should have been or was really

00:08:40.400 top of the agenda was it not but still at this point still i don't know why were you quibbling

00:08:46.840 over whether it was 13.5 billion or 15 billion you didn't have any of the money anyway

00:08:51.140 what's going on at the treasury oh i know there's a story the other day we talked about it on um

00:08:57.520 the state of politics the channel i do with mr h reviews do we did a video we recorded a video on

00:09:03.720 it last night i'll probably go out today um there's a there's a story that the treasury

00:09:09.320 His Majesty's Treasury

00:09:11.620 A few years

00:09:14.460 Starting a few years ago

00:09:16.100 Two, three years ago

00:09:17.440 Decided to lower

00:09:19.640 Lower the bar

00:09:22.860 In terms of numerical ability

00:09:25.180 The ability to do maths 0.98

00:09:26.820 So that they could increase their diversity quotas

00:09:29.960 And verbal reasoning tests 0.94

00:09:32.240 They realised that their

00:09:35.220 Numerical reasoning tests and verbal reasoning tests

00:09:37.920 where the bar was so high as it should be you want the very very very best of the best

00:09:42.620 in places like the treasury the foreign office the cabinet office the bank of england all these

00:09:47.420 things right you want the very very absolute creme de la creme they realized that the bar

00:09:51.620 was so high that they weren't really getting any diverse people for some reason for some

00:09:58.460 ideological anti-racist weird fetish outgroup preference reason they wanted loads more brown

00:10:04.640 people for some reason it doesn't make any sense why why would you need people whose grandparents 0.67

00:10:11.360 come from a foreign land why would you need that but they decided they did absolutely and that

00:10:16.560 they're proud of it that's their line to this day they're proud of it so they just lowered they just

00:10:22.560 lowered all the tests and i think i think at one point in fact did away with the verbal reasoning

00:10:28.080 test or something like that verbal reasoning test is really just a reasoning test can you understand

00:10:34.640 Reason properly

00:10:35.700 Do you understand cause and effect and stuff

00:10:37.780 Like the treasury

00:10:40.180 Perhaps the linchpin

00:10:43.920 Of government

00:10:46.380 Right

00:10:47.300 Maybe

00:10:48.220 The cabinet office more so

00:10:50.080 But one of the most vital

00:10:52.380 Parts of the government

00:10:55.000 Of the country

00:10:57.080 The treasury 1.00

00:10:58.420 They wanted more brown people 1.00

00:11:00.540 So they did that 1.00

00:11:05.200 weird so freakish well now they just can't figure out numbers it seems

00:11:12.560 i'm exaggerating on i'm exaggerating a bit but

00:11:16.320 it's just all nonsense isn't it now it will oh it's 13.5 now 15 oh but we haven't got five of

00:11:21.360 that oh we haven't got any of it and it's gone what are we doing here people what are we doing 0.66

00:11:30.000 we just need more diversity quotas that will fix everything won't it

00:11:33.120 You sure about that 0.99

00:11:34.860 You sure about that

00:11:37.260 Alright

00:11:37.800 Burnham 0.99

00:11:39.080 Deport grooming gang rapist

00:11:41.220 That's the thing 0.53

00:11:42.700 We talked about yesterday

00:11:43.360 Didn't we

00:11:43.760 We mentioned it yesterday

00:11:46.400 There was that guy

00:11:50.020 What was it

00:11:50.900 Shabir Ahmed

00:11:52.080 Something like that

00:11:52.740 He was basically

00:11:54.800 The leader of the

00:11:55.920 Rochdale grooming gangs

00:11:57.220 And he was sentenced to 19 years and 22 years to run concurrently

00:12:07.560 So doesn't that mean he should have served something like 40 odd years

00:12:09.900 That he's only been in for 14

00:12:11.900 After being convicted of something in the order of 30 child rapes

00:12:17.400 Something in the order of 30 child rapes

00:12:21.180 And he served 14 years

00:12:23.200 Right

00:12:25.740 And he's being let out today

00:12:28.340 And his victims

00:12:33.360 Quite right

00:12:34.040 At least one of his victims

00:12:35.080 Ruby

00:12:35.560 Probably not her real name

00:12:36.500 Saying well I don't feel safe

00:12:38.600 He's still

00:12:39.720 He's still part of that whole community

00:12:41.980 And like that

00:12:43.180 You'll have connections with the whole

00:12:44.580 Giant gang system

00:12:45.960 Giant network system

00:12:46.920 That is still here

00:12:47.980 Thanks for that

00:12:49.720 The state

00:12:50.280 Thanks for actually properly dealing with that

00:12:52.320 Not

00:12:52.760 So I'm worried, I'm scared

00:12:55.760 Yeah, quite rightly so

00:12:58.920 Apparently she's being helped by the Maggie Oliver Foundation

00:13:02.000 Brilliant person, Maggie Oliver

00:13:03.560 Brilliant

00:13:04.640 Give me ten divisions of Maggie Olivers

00:13:07.840 And our troubles here would be over very quickly 0.58

00:13:10.480 Right, and

00:13:15.400 And so apparently he just can't be deported

00:13:18.020 Home office

00:13:19.300 And what are you going to do?

00:13:21.340 There's an Act of Parliament back from 1971

00:13:24.180 You can repeal it

00:13:25.480 You can pass a new bit of legislation if you want to

00:13:27.880 No 0.86

00:13:28.120 That says if you came here before 1973

00:13:32.180 Which he did

00:13:33.100 Because he's old now

00:13:34.000 He's in his 70s

00:13:35.500 He's like 73 or something

00:13:37.040 75 or something

00:13:37.860 If you came here before 1973

00:13:41.160 And you lived here for five consecutive years

00:13:43.240 You cannot be deported

00:13:44.340 Regardless of the monstrous crimes he did 1.00

00:13:48.920 And he was always a dual sitter 1.00

00:13:50.380 So he's from Pakistan 1.00

00:13:51.880 Of course he's from Pakistan 0.54

00:13:53.980 Came here, he then got at some point in those intervening years

00:13:56.700 Got dual citizenship

00:13:57.880 However, once he got convicted of these crimes

00:14:01.540 They did strip him of the British part of that dual citizenship

00:14:04.660 So as it says at the moment

00:14:06.000 He's just a Pakistani national

00:14:07.600 But can't be deported back to Pakistan 0.98

00:14:11.200 Apart from anything else 1.00

00:14:12.240 Pakistan refused to take them

00:14:13.460 Nearly always, if not all

00:14:15.380 But practically always

00:14:16.620 Refuse to take

00:14:18.680 Their criminals back

00:14:20.440 Again our government goes

00:14:22.980 Oh okay

00:14:23.480 There's nothing we can do then

00:14:25.920 We can try and put pressure on them

00:14:29.500 No

00:14:31.160 We're giving them money if anything

00:14:32.760 We'll build them an airport

00:14:35.640 If anything

00:14:36.360 Try and work out some sort of

00:14:45.240 third measure some sort of guantanamo bay version of something on one of the islands we've got

00:14:50.360 so that these people just simply aren't in gen the general population in britain

00:14:55.000 something no just back to rochdale you go actually that's not fair he doesn't go actually

00:14:59.000 does actually go back to rochdale i think for a while for another few years or something he's

00:15:04.440 not allowed to return to rochdale i think that was part of the thing anyway anyway no stern and

00:15:11.480 burnham andy bumham part of the problem for years part of the silence and omission and even on some

00:16:13.160 right but andy burnham's gonna get tough on it is he andy burnham what he actually said was a

00:16:21.800 little bit milk toast he didn't come out and do some sort of screen some sort of rant about it

00:16:26.120 he just said i would hope the the home office look at all possible options something like that

00:16:32.040 you didn't seem to be impassioned about it or particularly care massively didn't seem like to

00:16:40.240 me from the quotes i read andy burn i'm just saying yeah it's probably best if uh if

00:16:48.200 if uh the home office do everything they can to look at this one

00:16:53.820 there was just in fact let me see if i can find a story on the bbc news because there's a few

00:16:59.080 quotes and they got a few a few quotes from the um from the actual government sort of immigration

00:17:06.240 minister um i can't find it anyway they said they said yeah that we would like to be able

00:17:14.720 to deport these types of people but in this case probably won't be able to that was like

00:17:18.900 the quote i'm paraphrasing ev only ever ever so slightly um yeah that's basically what they said

00:17:25.460 Alright, so we just allow monsters in our country to roam around

00:17:37.400 If you were convicted of 30 child rapes

00:17:41.340 There is no way you should ever, ever, ever be allowed out of prison

00:17:44.600 Well, by rights, we should bring back the death penalty, shouldn't we?

00:17:48.620 Restore Britain for that 0.90

00:17:55.460 He should have been killed by the state for those sorts of crimes 0.98

00:18:00.480 No, 14 years and then back into the general population 0.97

00:18:06.720 There's something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?

00:18:10.540 Something terribly wrong

00:18:11.680 Here's a very interesting story from the Telegraph

00:18:16.320 Mandelson was, quote, privileged contact, quote, of Russian spies

00:18:24.200 James Dossier. Here's a tweet, just a little bit more from Politics UK. New. Peter Mandelson

00:18:34.760 has reportedly been in contact with Russian spies for over 35 years. So that goes way

00:18:46.520 back to Labour before 1997. Of course, Mandelson was there from day one in 1997. You know,

00:18:55.200 things can only get better if you're the Russian intelligence services. He was considered

00:19:00.940 a privileged contact and one of the most significant Russian achievements in manipulating UK politics 0.96

00:19:06.740 in the last 30 years. 0.78

00:19:16.520 So, a traitor on multiple levels.

00:19:24.380 Handing, I mean, handing information over to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:19:30.260 Sensitive information, politically sensitive information, and market sensitive information.

00:19:35.220 As well as now, it seems, according to this, not just has friends that are Russian, has friends that are Chinese.

00:19:41.520 not just that actively working with them in some way a privileged contact

00:19:51.200 the most significant russian achievement in manipulating uk politics in the last 30 years

00:19:59.040 he he must have a trial surely the police i'm sorry the cps surely the cps will come

00:20:06.880 to the conclusion that he needs to stand trial for if not treason at least sort of sedition at

00:20:13.920 least sort of uh well there's a number of things they could choose to charge him with shouldn't

00:20:18.640 they but like sort of under official secrets act because when you become a minister or an ambassador

00:20:24.240 or something you would i'm sure you have to sign sign the official secrets act things like that

00:20:29.200 you know promising under pain of prosecution that you won't tell a foreign a foreign entity

00:20:35.840 whether it be a russian handler or jeffrey epstein and his israeli handlers yeah

00:20:44.080 he could barrack yeah was he could barrack not jeffrey epstein's israeli intelligence handler

00:20:50.640 hmm was he or wasn't he the fbi thought he was

00:20:57.840 right so is mandy going to stand trial for spying or espionage

00:21:05.840 He should do, shouldn't he?

00:21:08.040 Feels like he needs to

00:21:09.500 And then go to prison for the rest of his natural life

00:21:14.140 Again, they'll probably

00:21:15.880 If that ever happens

00:21:17.260 It might not even happen

00:21:18.300 But if it does, I'm sure they will get

00:21:19.560 Ultimately, the judge will give him a slap on the wrist

00:21:21.640 Who knows?

00:21:26.660 Who knows what's in store

00:21:28.860 For the rest of Peter Mandelson's life

00:21:31.060 We shall see

00:21:35.840 40 000 in stampede not actual physical stampede metaphorical stampede for buy your tickets it is

00:21:42.800 at the british museum is at the british museum and when you go to the british museum it's free

00:21:46.800 to get in but there if there's a special exhibition you have to pay to get into that

00:21:52.400 so you can walk around sort of 95 plus of the museum for free if there's something that everyone

00:21:57.720 really wants to see they do charge you to get into that it's not actually that cheap last time i've

00:22:01.380 been to the british museum exhibitions loads of times a dozen times or so um whenever there's a

00:22:06.320 new exhibition every six months every year i'll go to it nearly always unless it's really really

00:22:10.600 somewhere at benning probably won't bother going to that but all the other ones i'll go to and i'll

00:22:15.340 go to this apparently it's being shown the beta tapestry is being shown in the british museum for

00:22:18.940 something like 10 months um so i'll just wait till it dies down a bit and then go one day

00:22:25.520 and um i'm not sure if they'll let you film in there actually in the paid exhibition they

00:22:32.400 probably won't actually yeah all right i can make some content another way with it um yeah i'm

00:22:40.660 looking forward to going to see that really i'm looking forward to that at some point

00:22:43.220 okay prince harry wounds of invictus games attack okay don't care okay

00:22:51.320 Death's top births for first time in 50 years

00:22:56.100 A bit worrying isn't it, the demographic decline

00:22:59.040 There's more than one element isn't there to demographic decline and replacement

00:23:02.880 A bit rich from the Telegraph

00:23:10.580 Who only the other day reported a little story

00:23:14.700 Even though they were ridiculing

00:23:15.960 It still talks about indirectly

00:23:18.360 still amplified the voice of someone

00:23:21.060 that was saying white people 0.90

00:23:23.220 shouldn't have babies anymore 0.99

00:23:24.240 they need to make room in their societies 1.00

00:23:26.840 for refugees 1.00

00:23:28.020 stop being so selfish and having babies 1.00

00:23:30.620 if you've got spare rooms and things 1.00

00:23:32.720 for having babies, give them to refugees 1.00

00:23:35.040 the times, the venerable times

00:23:39.840 there's Harry Kane there after scoring a goal

00:23:43.120 in football

00:23:43.640 Burnham's job will be to find

00:23:47.120 seven billion of cuts schools and hospitals face squeeze under new npm yeah i'm sure when andy

00:23:56.160 burnham once he comes out of hiding and becomes the prime minister he will find that the fiscal

00:24:02.900 situation is really really quite dire they always like to do that every single new leader even if

00:24:09.480 they're taking over from someone in their own party will always always always always claim

00:24:13.780 i have inherited a terrible situation and give me time it's difficult i've inherited a terrible

00:24:21.480 situation well in burnham's case it actually will be true actually will be true all right the eye

00:24:30.460 paper faraj fears he will face by election over five million pound gift from crypto billionaire

00:24:38.080 is it that serious faraj thinks it is i didn't think it was that

00:24:43.780 seriously i've said all along i'm going to talk about farage a bit now for a moment

00:24:46.940 just to make clear which i did yesterday and once or even twice before when this five million

00:24:53.640 pound thing has come up and yesterday talked about the 270 grand he made out of a bullion

00:24:58.480 company and i'll say again just to put my cards on the table you know me here you know us here

00:25:05.480 we're pro-restore people aren't we right and i throw loads of shage at nige al farage

00:25:13.820 all the time but i only do it i actually only do it when i think it's properly necessary

00:25:18.820 when there's legit political reasons for it and um just trying to dunk on him over every

00:25:26.540 tiny nothing burger i even defend him sometimes don't i a little bit sometimes when even though

00:25:34.420 think he's a complete containment project and all that sort of thing when i think the papers or

00:25:38.280 whoever are trying to they're raking up some complete nothing burger i will say so and i'm

00:25:47.800 absolutely in favor of him having sound personal security because that was what that five million

00:25:54.560 pounds was supposed to be for wasn't it his personal security so okay so i've said and

00:25:59.680 maintained and still do but i'll just really wait until the results of the the more than one

00:26:05.420 investigation into his personal finances now i'll wait for the results of that and if there's nothing

00:26:12.240 to it and he hasn't actually hasn't done anything wrong then i will report that saying look this

00:26:17.460 was just people a political witch hunt and it didn't stick nigel hasn't actually done anything

00:26:22.100 wrong if it does turn out he's done something wrong and then at that point i will totally 0.53

00:26:26.920 dunk on him pretty much as hard as possible right but at this stage at this stage no wait and see

00:26:34.120 wait and see it's like uh talking about a court case before it's finished before a jury or a

00:26:39.360 judge has come to a conclusion a bit like that so when i saw this this morning it did take me

00:26:45.040 slightly by surprise apparently it is that farage himself insiders are saying it's been leaked to

00:26:51.320 that you know well that sort of thing rumor is that nigel himself fears he will face by election

00:26:57.340 i.e that the investigations do come to the conclusion that he has done something wrong

00:27:03.040 he's broken the parliamentary code or whatever and then he will he'll be forced into a by-election

00:27:10.860 in other words he's got to rerun for his own seat because he's effectively been thrown out of his

00:27:16.180 own seat for wrongdoing and if he wants to still be an mp he's got to win the seat again a by-election

00:27:24.740 and that faraj fears that sort of a possibility

00:27:29.140 why and it is only rumor at this stage coming out of like the faraj camp faraj's people is

00:27:33.620 only rumor so take with a pinch of salt but if there's any truth to that that faraj does fear

00:27:38.820 that that's odd and telling isn't it that's again i've got to sort of stop myself from

00:27:45.380 sort of being um gloating or anything about it at this stage uh if that's true that's that sort of

00:27:52.180 that suggests that doesn't it what more than suggests it does say that he thinks he has done

00:27:58.020 something wrong because there's the five million pound thing from that crypto billionaire chris

00:28:05.940 chris harble christopher harble there's 270 grand he made from uh the the bullion company which as

00:28:13.540 As far as I can tell, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

00:28:17.100 As far as I can tell, nothing.

00:28:19.680 Other than perhaps he's seen a tiny bit of bad taste.

00:28:22.280 But there's nothing really wrong with that.

00:28:23.880 Then the latest thing now is something all to do with his properties.

00:28:27.420 That he actually owns five properties and he only declared two. 0.88

00:28:33.040 So what are you doing, Nige? 1.00

00:28:34.840 Don't you want to create the impression, whether it's true or not, 1.00

00:28:42.640 creating the impression that you're cleaner than clean squeaky clean why are you failing to declare

00:28:47.800 stuff all over the place in fact let's uh where was it was it on the mail let's go into this in

00:28:53.620 a little bit more yeah here we go let's let's read this article a little bit of this article

00:28:57.180 because what you know like get to the point where it's like wait what's really going on here wait

00:29:00.600 nigel fears he might face a by-election what's the detail okay nigel farage built four million

00:29:09.040 pound property portfolio over a decade yet only declared two of the five properties to parliament

00:29:15.520 so on the face of it that headline you think oh you know there is something there that's that's

00:29:20.320 dodgy not necessarily already still i'm going to give nigel the benefit of the doubt at this point

00:29:25.440 why not i mean okay four million pound properties five different homes that total up to about four

00:29:38.160 million pounds now let's say nigel's not a poor man i think he makes over two million pounds a

00:29:44.880 year on gb news alone right so the idea that you spent four million pounds over 10 years

00:29:54.160 isn't crazy for nigel for nigel someone who earns the amount he earns that's not insane 0.84

00:30:00.160 uh so the question is not like where has he got the money from is it from like uh nefarious means 0.92

00:30:09.760 well other than the the crystal harbour stuff it's more like the question the problem really

00:30:16.000 is more like why didn't you declare it all though properly um in fact let's not go into it in a

00:30:22.120 crazy amount of detail we'll see how it plays out over the coming days and weeks or even months

00:30:25.420 But, yeah, so some of the stories is

00:30:28.240 I mean, his personal finances are becoming a bit of a thorn in his side, aren't they?

00:30:33.320 In fact, that's the name of his business

00:30:35.200 I only learned that this morning, I didn't know that

00:30:37.700 At least two of the properties, or three of the properties

00:30:40.800 Two or three of the properties are held in the name of his company

00:30:43.980 Which is called Thorn in the Side Limited

00:30:47.320 Like, one of them is owned by his wife

00:30:51.020 One or two of them are owned by his wife

00:30:52.800 And there's rules about how

00:30:56.800 If you own a property

00:30:58.020 And you lease it to friends or family

00:31:00.660 And they pay little or minimal rent

00:31:04.160 If you

00:31:05.040 Something like

00:31:05.920 If you take in less than 10 grand a year in rent

00:31:09.220 Then you don't have to declare it

00:31:11.180 There's loads

00:31:11.640 It's a little bit complicated

00:31:13.480 Over the exact rules of when you do

00:31:16.160 And you don't have to declare things

00:31:17.920 Okay

00:31:18.820 That's basically the story

00:31:20.320 It's about whether he declared it really

00:31:22.720 Not how much money he's actually got

00:31:25.260 Or where it came from particularly

00:31:27.580 Other than the Chris Harbourn family

00:31:29.080 And so

00:31:31.200 Obviously reform themselves

00:31:33.420 Like the reform UK spokesman said

00:31:34.840 Everything has been properly declared

00:31:36.600 And checked with the parliamentary register

00:31:38.340 It's sad to see that the Daily Mail

00:31:40.080 Are going after

00:31:41.420 Are going after those that have done well for themselves

00:31:45.980 It's not just the Daily Mail

00:31:47.820 It's loads of the papers

00:31:50.100 On various days

00:31:51.320 Loads of the news organs

00:31:53.840 But of course reform would say that

00:31:56.260 Wouldn't they?

00:31:57.000 Of course they would say that

00:31:58.140 An official spokesman

00:31:59.980 The point is it seems like Nigel's

00:32:03.420 Well you can't avoid the conclusion

00:32:06.440 That Nigel has skirted

00:32:07.980 At the very least

00:32:08.980 At the absolute minimum

00:32:09.980 Has skirted close to the line

00:32:11.920 Of what he should or shouldn't have declared

00:32:14.460 Because

00:32:15.200 Is it Jeremy Hunt of all people?

00:32:18.280 They got a quote, yes

00:32:19.140 From Jeremy Hunt 0.99

00:32:21.320 you don't remember jeremy hunt a scumbag a covid era complete scumbag nevertheless 0.98

00:32:25.460 he said and because he's got properties like i think multiple properties and he's got some that 0.98

00:32:31.760 he uh under the name of a company he owns mayor properties whatever he just said look what you do

00:32:38.180 what most people do mps i mean most mps is you just err on the side of caution if you're not

00:32:44.280 sure whether you should declare it or not just declare it to avoid this exactly this

00:32:51.320 Mr Farage said he had acted with an abundance of caution in detailing his assets

00:32:58.940 Why? No, the opposite

00:33:00.820 Don't be cautious about what you do or don't declare

00:33:03.340 Declare everything

00:33:04.380 In dealing with his assets

00:33:07.200 While a spokesman said everything had been checked by the registrar

00:33:10.780 The former Chancellor, Sir Jeremy Hunt

00:33:14.040 Wait, Jeremy Hunt

00:33:16.320 Anyway

00:33:17.440 He declares

00:33:19.400 who declares the seven properties that his company Merpon Properties Limited owns said

00:33:25.060 I did that because the rules are very clear that you must not do anything improper or anything

00:33:30.280 that could reasonably be perceived as improper and Nicholas Allen an expert on MPs codes of

00:33:37.800 conduct from the University of London said the standards regime has long been clear that MPs

00:33:44.120 should err on the side of caution when it comes to registering their interests

00:33:47.780 The use of the word caution there

00:33:50.320 When Nigel used it

00:33:51.820 And when this guy used it

00:33:52.560 Is in different

00:33:53.220 A different usage of it

00:33:55.180 They should go on the side of caution

00:33:56.320 I.E

00:33:56.720 You're not sure

00:33:58.300 Whether to clear it

00:33:59.200 When they haven't

00:34:01.500 They have opened themselves up

00:34:02.960 To potential investigation

00:34:03.960 Yeah

00:34:04.220 That's basically the story

00:34:05.520 Okay

00:34:07.440 Now in and of itself

00:34:08.580 For me personally

00:34:09.980 It's not like

00:34:13.560 I'm more interested in policy

00:34:14.840 I'm more interested if

00:34:15.860 And how

00:34:16.340 Reform and Nigel

00:34:17.400 Can save our country

00:34:18.460 Can save our demographic 1.00

00:34:20.720 Can save us from an Islamic takeover 1.00

00:34:23.140 Can save our women folk 1.00

00:34:24.580 From endless rapes 0.99

00:34:26.440 However

00:34:28.700 Nigel fears

00:34:33.420 If that's true

00:34:34.060 Nigel fears

00:34:34.880 He might have to face a by-election over it all

00:34:36.600 Well we'll see

00:34:38.800 I've talked about it for a bit there

00:34:40.060 We'll move on

00:34:41.020 But we'll see

00:34:41.600 Is it one of the things that brings Nigel down?

00:34:47.400 I've said that weeks ago

00:34:51.500 When this first started coming up

00:34:53.720 In the news cycle

00:34:54.460 I said this could be an absolute nothing

00:34:57.520 Burger or it could ruin him

00:34:58.880 I have to wait for the

00:35:01.540 Investigations to play out

00:35:46.540 By devolving power

00:35:48.440 It's right on the limit of my eyesight

00:35:50.040 By devolving power and money

00:35:52.660 To town halls 1.00

00:35:53.660 And she pitches herself for ministerial role 1.00

00:35:56.720 I do need to get that monocle 0.97

00:35:57.900 Should I actually get a monocle?

00:36:00.460 Should I actually get a monocle?

00:36:02.420 It would be such an affectation

00:36:03.740 It'd be funny though, wouldn't it?

00:36:06.580 Maybe I'll get a monocle

00:36:07.580 Angela Rayner echoes words 0.89

00:36:13.200 used by Burnham in speech

00:36:15.300 in Manchester on Monday

00:36:16.340 as likely next PM finalises

00:36:19.520 plans for

00:36:21.460 his cabinet line-up. Sources

00:36:23.300 close to Rayner insist no

00:36:25.320 job offer has yet been made, but

00:36:27.300 allies claim she would welcome a

00:36:29.320 return to her old job as housing secretary.

00:36:31.600 There you go. She had to quit 0.74

00:36:33.320 the role after underpaying stamp duty

00:36:35.160 and they decided after

00:36:37.120 quite a long investigation that she hadn't done

00:36:39.220 anything wrong. She'd underpaid that stamp duty to the

00:36:41.320 Tune of tens of thousands of pounds

00:36:42.460 In good faith

00:36:43.600 It was a reasonable error

00:36:45.120 And as long as she pays it up

00:36:46.840 It's all good 0.98

00:36:47.360 Which she then did

00:36:48.280 Odd though isn't it

00:36:51.800 Ironic

00:36:52.380 That the housing minister

00:36:54.340 Fluffed up their

00:36:56.500 Stamp duty

00:36:58.020 Like a mathematician

00:37:05.760 Being unable to do long division

00:37:07.400 Or something isn't it

00:37:08.440 It's like the health secretary

00:37:10.240 Being a heavy smoker

00:37:11.260 something right okay the financial times the only paper that doesn't go with football

00:37:16.040 they're still talking about trump's trump's earnings that he and the businesses that

00:37:22.900 whitkoff and and don jr own made hundreds of millions of dollars or a billion dollars or

00:37:29.740 something let's still talk about that today okay bluecrest which is just a capital investment

00:37:34.240 company questions uk as a business destination after 200 million pound tax defeat

00:37:41.600 flat the guy who owns this runs this company loses legal battle courts tight and definition

00:37:47.660 anyway the point is that this investment company um asset management type company

00:37:53.240 it just said the taxes in the uk are just too high and it's just not really a realistic viable

00:37:59.080 place to do business anymore like if you've got a big offices in london in the city of london the

00:38:04.760 golden mile probably think about going somewhere else if you can because the taxes are just

00:38:10.740 astronomical all right the express it's a good paper

00:38:16.500 you can read your express now they're talking about this monster rape victim on today's release

00:38:26.000 of monster we cannot deport due to broken system i fear for my safety after gang boss is freed yeah

00:38:31.920 if yeah absolutely

00:38:33.680 how our government governments have ever allowed us to get into a situation where we can't 1.00

00:38:44.960 deport someone like this he's not a dual citizen even anymore he's just a pakistani now the only 1.00

00:38:49.600 Passport he will own is a Pakistani one

00:38:51.560 Being convicted of 0.86

00:38:55.560 30 child rapes

00:38:57.660 And we can't deport him

00:38:58.820 So we can't really deport anyone

00:39:01.440 I mean they do

00:39:03.660 They do still deport some people don't they

00:39:05.760 But him

00:39:07.060 Him

00:39:08.540 Filth, I can't look at him

00:39:12.940 I can't even look at it 1.00

00:39:14.620 Makes my blood boil

00:39:16.520 It's the worst

00:39:19.600 and the home office spokesman was just like yeah we will try we'll look at it but in this case

00:39:24.140 probably no we need pakistan to agree to it and they won't oh well the guardian oh just stop

00:39:38.780 oh what are you doing what are you doing you know what you're doing you're trying to undermine our 0.81

00:39:48.360 society, aren't you? Trying to ruin this country one paper at a time. Bruce. Freaks, fifth

00:39:59.320 columnist. This is a fifth column in our country, The Guardian. If it was up to me in both Britain,

00:40:06.800 I would pass legislation that would prescribe the media being a fifth column, being subversive,

00:40:17.580 undermining us. The Guardian would come under that umbrella, no doubt. Channel 4 News, perhaps

00:40:26.160 even the BBC. You're subverting our society. Why should we allow it? Why should we? A communist

00:40:37.980 mouthpiece an anti-white anti-western globalist mouthpiece of sedition and

00:40:45.060 treason the Guardian the people they print and the things they print in the

00:40:49.540 Guardian at the very least is seditious

00:40:55.860 close it down burn it out get rid of it clear it out grow up the Guardian 1.00

00:41:06.280 god damn purple haired and leftist boomers that love the guardian you're the problem you know 1.00

00:41:12.540 you're the problem yeah yeah you yeah 1.00

00:41:18.120 yeah

00:41:20.200 us trade deal on medicines will cost the nhs 45 billion i mean this is part of what trump said

00:41:27.660 when he brought in his tariffs right at the beginning of his new of his new administration

00:41:32.040 that the u.s the u.s pharmaceutical industry

00:41:37.060 in some ways is extremely evil and in other ways is among the greatest things humans have

00:41:46.320 ever achieved really the fact that they're even it's about how expensive they are the fact there

00:41:54.400 are certain drugs which in generations centuries past you simply suffered with that illness that

00:42:01.380 ailment forever until it killed you. And now you can take a tiny little pill that will

00:42:06.540 sort it out. Isn't that a miraculous thing? So many diseases in the pre-modern age, so

00:42:14.540 many, that when you got them, that was just a chronic disease and you just lived with

00:42:18.780 it until it killed you. Hundreds and hundreds of different ailments. And now these giant

00:42:24.720 pharmaceutical companies, evil as they are in all sorts of ways, you can get a little

00:42:29.540 pill you can take that and you'll live a long life right so the US pharmaceutical companies

00:42:36.480 in a way in a sense have been subsidizing the rest of the world in in lots of lots of ways

00:42:44.700 selling their drugs with trade deals that wasn't really in their best interest

00:42:50.200 it's like they don't make a big enough profits already

00:42:53.100 Selling them to the rest of the world

00:42:59.920 At a cut price

00:43:01.240 Not an actual market price

00:43:03.040 And Trump came into power and said

00:43:05.260 No we're going to start doing that

00:43:06.200 Saying we're going to start selling them

00:43:08.980 At like normal competitive prices

00:43:10.740 A year later whatever it is

00:43:14.820 18 months later it all starts kicking in

00:43:16.700 Starting taking effect

00:43:17.620 And the NHS

00:43:19.380 As well as other countries all around the world

00:43:21.720 Suddenly realise oh

00:43:22.720 Particular types of medicines

00:43:24.820 That are manufactured in the United States

00:43:26.960 That we were buying for pennies on the pound

00:43:29.400 Pennies on the dollar

00:43:30.140 It's actually going to cost us tons more now

00:43:33.040 Tons and tons and tons more

00:43:39.580 There you go

00:43:40.160 Really I'm not playing defence

00:43:42.640 On behalf of the big pharmaceutical companies

00:43:44.780 I think I've said a couple of times

00:43:46.160 In the last few minutes haven't I

00:43:47.360 They are evil

00:43:48.000 It's only a great achievement

00:43:51.520 In the broadest sense

00:43:52.740 If you zoom out

00:43:53.520 In the broadest sense

00:43:54.120 Of all of human civilization

00:43:55.240 There were loads of ailments

00:43:57.980 That were terrible

00:43:58.660 And just caused untold

00:43:59.660 Caused untold human misery and death

00:44:01.780 And now not so much

00:44:03.100 But

00:44:03.740 The pricing thing

00:44:06.220 About it all

00:44:07.420 It's not good

00:44:09.120 I mean

00:44:09.540 This will

00:44:10.120 We won't be able to fund that

00:44:11.240 Probably

00:44:11.600 Or only to an extent

00:44:13.920 Which will lead to

00:44:15.580 Death 0.58

00:44:16.600 There you go

00:44:18.120 The thing underneath

00:44:18.740 Cuts to services

00:44:20.020 Could cause

00:44:20.920 200,000 avoidable deaths

00:44:23.240 analysts find

00:44:24.520 analysis finds

00:44:26.540 okay that's the front pages

00:44:36.980 that's the front pages

00:44:37.900 we've got our poll

00:44:39.920 just before I do the poll today

00:44:41.140 because I actually remember what it is for once

00:44:42.780 let's have a look at the price of oil

00:44:44.360 crude oil

00:44:45.880 at the moment

00:44:48.480 right now in real time basically

00:44:50.240 West Texas, just shy of $68 a barrel

00:44:54.920 Brent crude, just over $70 a barrel

00:44:59.920 Again, significantly lower than what it was in February

00:45:07.080 At the beginning of February when the war in Persia started

00:45:09.640 In fact, there's a story here on the BBC

00:45:13.320 Diesel sees biggest monthly fall in 26 years

00:45:17.140 What's happening to fuel prices?

00:45:20.000 and i read this article this morning it's reasonably long with all different elements to it

00:45:24.080 um but basically the basically the the upshot of it is the crude hit an all-time high right near

00:45:32.120 the beginning i think if not an all-time high uh one of the all-time highs very near all-time high

00:45:37.800 uh in like 2021 or 2022 when the war when the donbass first kicked off and even at the heights

00:45:45.420 of it during this war with you iran didn't go that higher and anyway it's down and in like

00:45:52.160 was it like the year 2000 or so there was a big spike as well for different reasons um

00:45:59.840 okay so they're now saying that uh diesel and petrol has uh come down massively recently

00:46:07.920 in the last few days or so so our poll today was harry you have to bring it up for me did you see

00:46:17.720 it was something like did you see a fall in the price okay we asked you have you noticed a fall

00:46:21.900 in the price at the petrol pump 38 of percent of you say yes and 62 of you say no interesting

00:46:31.420 how many votes we got over 900 votes there okay that's interesting to note harry i asked you

00:46:37.420 didn't i have you seen a reduction in it and you said yes a little bit yeah tell us your story

00:46:45.320 again real quick yeah so i mean because i use e5 it's uh it doesn't it went up by quite a bit but

00:46:53.200 it hasn't really gone back down that much yet although it's expensive anyway so so but didn't

00:47:01.040 you say that it has come down a few pence yeah yeah per liter all right so it's certainly not

00:47:06.260 Continuing to go up

00:47:07.440 And it is coming down

00:47:08.460 A little bit

00:47:09.020 Oh yeah no

00:47:09.360 Definitely not

00:47:10.040 Okay

00:47:10.720 Okay

00:47:11.220 There you go

00:47:14.100 So only 38%

00:47:15.420 Of you said yes to that

00:47:16.440 Huh

00:47:17.340 Interesting

00:47:19.940 According to reports

00:47:21.520 It is just across the board

00:47:22.800 It is down

00:47:23.600 I mean it was saying

00:47:24.920 It plunged by 17p a litre

00:47:27.960 For diesel anyway

00:47:29.580 For diesel

00:47:30.380 I'll have to ask Big Harry

00:47:31.760 I believe Big Harry

00:47:32.800 Drives a diesel

00:47:33.580 Well he does

00:47:35.520 He does

00:47:36.020 17p a litre for diesel

00:47:38.020 There's all sorts of other things aren't there

00:47:39.940 Like heating oil

00:47:41.060 A number of other things

00:47:44.720 Alright well okay

00:47:47.680 Interesting to note that only 62% of you

00:47:49.980 Said no to that

00:47:50.840 Alright

00:47:53.140 Shall we have a look at some of the

00:47:55.120 One or two other stories this morning

00:47:57.180 Oh

00:47:58.120 There with me one second

00:49:06.080 So frustrating

00:49:12.480 We just need a government

00:49:14.580 With the political will

00:49:16.480 To force millions to go

00:49:19.080 They came here against our will

00:49:21.000 So they can go back against theirs 0.99

00:49:39.760 and a woman they scaled the empire state building and then got engaged at the very top of the empire

00:49:46.460 state building ah but you're not allowed to do that without permission so they were immediately

00:49:53.060 arrested

00:49:59.940 if you get permission you can't you can't just scale the outside of a

00:50:05.780 a big building like that without the authorities being aware

00:50:09.860 it's horrible a canadian boy 11 dies of rabies

00:50:13.300 after waking to a bat on his face oh thanks for that

00:50:17.620 thanks for letting us know that that's horrible

00:50:20.580 if you've ever seen a rabies victim in the in extremis towards the end a rabies victim

00:50:29.620 it's one of the most harrowing horrible things you will ever see dying of rabies is terrible

00:50:39.060 terrible terrible terrible oh okay is there one more story in the sun i thought was of mild interest

00:50:47.060 I'm not sure what this is

00:50:50.940 Oh it's already 10 too

00:50:51.780 Oh

00:50:52.300 Ant out of Ant and Deck

00:50:55.680 Is annoyed about e-bikes

00:50:57.060 E-scooters

00:50:57.900 Really that's what you're worried about

00:51:01.060 Really

00:51:02.560 That's what your globalist paymasters

00:51:07.080 Have allowed you to say you're worried about

00:51:08.920 Isn't it

00:51:09.460 E-scooters

00:51:11.180 Not the organised crime 0.99

00:51:14.180 Not the demographic replacement

00:51:15.500 Not the tidal wave of sex crime 1.00

00:51:17.660 E-Scooters

00:51:19.420 That's what Ant McParlane cares about

00:51:22.180 That's what he's getting angry about

00:51:23.320 Because of course the people that control him say

00:51:28.860 You're not allowed to say a word about anything else

00:51:31.240 Anything more spicy than that

00:51:33.080 Well, shill

00:51:35.960 PJ and Duncan

00:51:38.720 Does your radio still rock, Ant?

00:51:41.420 I wonder if Ant McPartland's radio still rocks

00:51:46.020 Alright, let's have a look at On This Day in History, shall we?

00:51:53.660 I like doing that bit, you seem to like doing that bit

00:51:55.260 On the 2nd of July, down through the centuries, what happened of now?

00:51:58.000 The first one here, I don't really know any detail about

00:52:00.980 It says, incident at Zhuang Wu Gate

00:52:05.200 Prince Li Shimi ambushes and kills his rivals

00:52:08.960 the brothers Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, sons of Emperor Giaozu, 7th century China. I don't

00:52:17.100 know about it. I'm sorry, I just don't. And then forces the emperor to name him as successor to

00:52:21.340 the throne. Okay. I'm sorry. 7th century AD China is just not in my wheelhouse. Okay, next one is

00:52:30.840 On this day, 2nd of July, 1776

00:52:36.620 Only two days later, isn't it? The 4th of July

00:52:39.680 Continental Congress resolves

00:52:47.900 Comes to the conclusion that

00:52:50.180 Quote, these united colonies are

00:52:53.360 And of right ought to be free and independent states

00:52:57.440 It's a declaration of independence

00:52:59.340 Got all sorts of content about that era

00:53:03.440 Did long form content with Benjamin Boyce

00:53:05.660 All about Washington, George Washington

00:53:07.980 Made various bits of content about the Revolutionary War

00:53:11.740 And of course, 4th July

00:53:15.300 I mean, that's when it was sort of

00:53:16.860 Ratified isn't quite the right word

00:53:21.060 But when it was formally all finished

00:53:24.000 But as early as the 2nd of July

00:53:27.280 They're starting to sign it

00:53:29.340 Took a few days

00:53:30.220 Slightly

00:53:33.140 Slightly

00:53:33.820 Complicated

00:53:34.860 Convoluted

00:53:35.640 Process

00:53:36.720 But of course

00:53:38.580 The documents

00:53:39.060 Are already drawn up

00:53:39.880 Before that

00:53:40.460 Largely Jefferson

00:53:41.960 Jefferson

00:53:42.900 Franklin

00:53:43.580 John Adams

00:53:45.580 Basically

00:53:46.620 It's mainly

00:53:48.080 Thomas Jefferson

00:53:49.400 Mainly

00:53:50.240 Wrote the Declaration

00:53:51.260 Of Independence

00:53:51.880 Almost entirely

00:53:54.500 His work

00:53:54.900 But not entirely

00:53:55.480 And I start signing it

00:53:57.460 As early as

00:53:58.220 Was it John Hancock

00:54:02.060 You signed it first

00:54:03.580 That's why there's that old saying

00:54:06.420 It's a bit old fashioned now

00:54:07.400 You might never have heard it

00:54:08.620 Refer to your signature as your John Hancock

00:54:11.580 You want me to sign something

00:54:13.560 You know on the dotted line

00:54:15.040 Put your John Hancock on the dotted line

00:54:16.880 I think that's because he was the first one

00:54:19.820 To sign it

00:54:20.700 Is that right?

00:54:21.540 I got that terribly wrong

00:54:22.520 Okay

00:54:23.100 Alright

00:54:23.820 1776

00:54:25.040 It's America's birthday isn't it

00:54:26.860 At the weekend

00:54:28.140 250 years

00:54:29.300 Okay, on this day in 1823 0.99

00:54:32.280 Baria, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right 0.97

00:54:34.420 Baria Independence Day 1.00

00:54:35.900 End of Portuguese rule in Brazil

00:54:37.700 With the final defeat of the Portuguese crown loyalists

00:54:40.780 In the province of Baria

00:54:42.940 Okay, I know a little bit about

00:54:45.380 A little bit, not a great deal

00:54:46.520 But a little bit about Brazilian independence 0.98

00:54:48.080 And the Portuguese getting kicked out

00:54:49.920 I don't know a great deal about that specific bit of it

00:54:52.660 So, I'll move on

00:54:54.780 Alright, the Salvation Army

00:54:57.140 Is that from West Side Story

00:55:02.280 Well it says

00:55:05.160 In 1865

00:55:06.220 One time Methodist reformed church minister

00:55:08.620 William Booth

00:55:09.320 And his wife Catherine Booth

00:55:10.800 Found the East London Christian mission

00:55:12.800 Known as the Salvation Army

00:55:14.820 Yeah good intentions

00:55:19.020 Good intentions right

00:55:19.960 Won't say anything bad about the Salvation Army

00:55:22.440 Yeah but that's

00:55:26.720 What's that

00:55:27.120 It's just from that film

00:55:28.320 Is it

00:55:29.680 What's I saw

00:55:30.740 Guys and

00:55:31.240 Guys and Dolls

00:55:33.440 Oh I don't know anyway

00:55:34.140 Alright well let's just

00:55:37.320 Move on from that

00:55:37.700 In 1964

00:55:38.460 US President Lyndon B. Johnson

00:55:40.180 Signs the Civil Rights Act

00:55:41.960 And the Voting Rights Act

00:55:43.360 Into law 0.93

00:55:44.080 Well done

00:55:45.720 Yeah well done

00:55:47.840 We talked about this

00:55:49.980 A few days ago didn't we

00:55:50.940 Perhaps a lot of issues

00:55:53.440 Which are

00:55:55.180 At the heart of many problems

00:55:58.180 Of the US society 0.84

00:56:00.280 Come out of the Civil Rights Act 0.93

00:56:04.360 The 1.00

00:56:06.960 The road to hell is paved with good intentions

00:56:10.900 Very often isn't it

00:56:12.680 What's wrong with the Civil Rights Act 0.77

00:56:14.920 Surely that's properly bigoted 0.95

00:56:17.040 And racist

00:56:18.700 To have any sort of issue with the Civil Rights Act

00:56:20.880 No, no, it caused all sorts of problems

00:56:23.240 It has caused loads and loads of problems 0.86

00:56:24.940 It's not that I don't want black people to have equal rights as whites 0.97

00:56:28.620 But it went far beyond that, didn't it? 0.99

00:56:30.680 Like forcing integration

00:56:32.040 Forcing integration 1.00

00:56:35.240 Not just, oh there's a white university that black people aren't allowed in 1.00

00:56:39.260 And now we'll change the rule so that they could be allowed in 1.00

00:56:41.680 No, it's we're going to force them in 1.00

00:56:42.860 We're going to force your peoples to intermingle 0.99

00:56:50.880 Okay, on this day in 1990, 1,426 pilgrims are trampled to death after a panic in a tunnel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia 1.00

00:57:01.740 Yeah, pretty common, not every single year, but very often during the Hajj

00:57:06.820 The mandatory pilgrimage that any, every Muslim who's, or male anyway, that's got enough money and is able-bodied

00:57:15.260 Is supposed to go to Mecca at least once in their life, the Hajj, the pilgrimage

00:57:20.880 and not every single year but quite often there's crushes and stampedes where sometimes thousands

00:57:27.600 and thousands of people die in fact the saudi arabian authorities of the house of our south

00:57:37.760 reworked loads of mecca the actual city of mecca to make much much bigger broader

00:57:43.200 thoroughfares to try and stop it happening they spent like a few billion on that

00:57:48.080 in recent years in like the last 10 years or something to prevent because it would happen

00:57:52.680 all the time with some sort of stampede and the loads of pilgrims would crush each other to death

00:57:59.700 that's just one of those in 1990 not even a particularly bad one 1400 that's those

00:58:06.880 rookie numbers for haj mecca stampedes look it up all right that's on this day in history

00:58:16.560 Shall we look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats?

00:58:18.920 It's nearly nine

00:58:19.520 Let's have a look

00:58:20.340 Let me just do that with my mic beam

00:58:22.140 So I can see the left hand side of my screen

00:58:23.440 Is Global Church History at number one?

00:58:28.180 Let's have a look

00:58:28.560 Let's have a quick look

00:58:29.300 Is he still in there?

00:58:32.280 Yes he is

00:58:32.940 Good stuff

00:58:34.400 Good stuff

00:58:36.400 And still

00:58:38.400 Mr. Church History

00:58:40.600 First name Global

00:58:41.580 Second name Double Barrelled

00:58:43.140 Church History

00:58:43.960 that's his name um you say today in 866 ad ranolf the first ancestor of the capetians

00:58:54.380 was killed by bretons and vikings at uh brisad where brittany secured its independence yeah i

00:59:02.020 don't know a great deal but i've heard i know a tiny bit about ranolf the first a little bit i've

00:59:05.840 heard the name and stuff but i can't i don't know great great great amount of detail about his life

00:59:10.360 It was like the 9th century

00:59:12.700 9th century France

00:59:14.080 And not exactly my wheelhouse

00:59:18.100 No a little bit

00:59:18.880 Well I know broadly speaking about Viking invasions

00:59:22.500 Into at least northern France

00:59:24.660 In that era

00:59:25.540 In and around that era

00:59:27.000 I mean the Normans

00:59:28.520 Or the people that go on to be the Normans

00:59:32.160 That area wasn't called Normandy

00:59:34.680 It was called like what?

00:59:35.800 Neustria?

00:59:36.800 Was it?

00:59:37.640 Neustria?

00:59:38.120 when the old frankish kings controlled it the ancestors the descendants of charlemagne

00:59:45.380 and then viking peoples came down obviously from scandinavia they're not just raiding england

00:59:51.880 they're raiding all of like modern day holland and belgium and france and what was it uh

00:59:58.560 rollo king rollo not the 1970s cartoon king rollo an actual real life king rollo

01:00:05.420 from scandinavia comes down settles in neustria in like the eighth eighth ninth century and then

01:00:14.200 quite quickly within two three four generations at most they frankify themselves they stop giving

01:00:21.620 themselves scandinavian names start giving themselves french names like william and richard

01:00:27.680 and things um and take on christianity abandon their old the old norse gods become christians

01:00:36.000 start building in the european style and call the land normandy and they become normans but

01:00:43.440 they're actually viking raiders in the first instance okay all right great the other um

01:00:49.280 the other factoid we get here you say in 1494 the treaty the treaty of

01:00:55.280 Tortosilias was ratified by Spain

01:00:57.780 Oh I know all about that

01:00:58.760 Oh that's right in my wheelhouse

01:01:01.780 That stuff

01:01:02.280 On my own history theme show

01:01:05.920 Bodade's Epochs on lotusitis.com

01:01:07.940 Do consider signing up for a £5 a month

01:01:09.720 Bronze Team membership

01:01:10.320 I've got a long long series

01:01:13.820 All about Magellan

01:01:15.420 I've mentioned it more than once haven't I

01:01:16.700 It's Harry's favourite actually isn't it

01:01:18.340 It is

01:01:19.920 It's a good one

01:01:21.340 How many parts was it? 14 parts?

01:01:23.300 Was it more? I can't remember

01:01:24.460 yeah it's like 13 or 14 each one an hour a piece if not a bit more so there's easily 15 16 hours of

01:01:32.780 me telling you the story about magellan the first man ever to circumnavigate the globe went west

01:01:38.020 kept going around the bottom of south america across the pacific through the indies under under

01:01:42.500 india and around the bottom of africa and back up to spain first man to ever circumnavigate the globe

01:01:48.760 he personally didn't survive

01:01:52.360 but he's mended, some of his mended

01:01:53.920 a very very small number of his mended

01:01:56.440 anyway, mention that

01:01:58.520 because in that, it would have been one of the

01:02:00.440 earlier episodes, talk all about

01:02:02.580 that, the treat of Tordesillas

01:02:04.160 which is when

01:02:06.120 Portugal

01:02:07.940 and Spain

01:02:09.520 and we're talking the 15th century

01:02:11.960 realised

01:02:14.500 after Christopher Columbus that there is in fact

01:02:16.120 giant land masses across the ocean sea

01:02:18.540 That's what they called the Atlantic

01:02:19.580 The Ocean Sea, that's their name for it

01:02:21.780 There are lots and lots of islands

01:02:23.440 And almost certainly giant landmasses

01:02:25.440 Continental sized landmasses over there

01:02:27.240 And they both wanted to

01:02:29.940 Like the right to control them

01:02:32.060 And they couldn't decide amongst themselves properly

01:02:36.000 Because they're complete rivals

01:02:37.160 Complete rivals

01:02:38.040 And so they appealed 0.99

01:02:39.700 They're both Catholic, of course 0.83

01:02:40.820 This is before the Reformation

01:02:41.960 They appealed to the Pope

01:02:43.160 To say, you decide

01:02:44.760 And the Pope got them together

01:02:47.620 And it all ended ultimately in the Treaty of Tordesillas

01:02:50.240 I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, probably not

01:02:52.020 And the Pope said, look, we'll draw a line down the Atlantic

01:02:56.020 They divvied up the new world between them

01:03:00.140 Of course, some of the other maritime nations

01:03:05.880 France, the Netherlands, England

01:03:10.180 We didn't give a fig what the Pope had told the Portuguese and the Spanish

01:03:15.500 At the Treaty of Tordesillas

01:03:17.200 We were like, what?

01:03:20.200 You going to tell us we can't sail across the ocean sea?

01:03:23.400 To like Canada or something?

01:03:24.740 No, no, no, we can do whatever we want, thanks

01:03:26.260 Thank you

01:03:27.120 And of course where the Pope had

01:03:31.520 Not of course, but one of the takeaways headlines about it is

01:03:34.420 Where the Pope had drawn a line down the earth

01:03:36.740 There's a big chunk of Brazil that pokes out beyond that line 0.98

01:03:42.060 Everything to the west of it was Spanish

01:03:45.180 And a big chunk of Brazil sticks out 1.00

01:03:47.980 And the Portuguese is like, right, we're taking that 0.91

01:03:49.420 And hence, centuries later

01:03:52.560 We're talking about Brazilian independence from Portugal

01:03:57.260 Just a moment ago, weren't we?

01:03:58.600 And they speak Portuguese to this day

01:04:00.300 Well, Brazilian Portuguese to this day 0.59

01:04:03.600 All stems out of that

01:04:06.860 The Treaty of Tordesilias

01:04:08.040 Signed on this day in 1494

01:04:09.620 Quite a big thing in history

01:04:11.520 When those things, when you learn about that

01:04:13.740 And you hear about that

01:04:14.320 You're like, oh, things start making a bit more sense.

01:04:15.960 Oh, that's why that is.

01:04:17.420 That's why the modern world looks like that.

01:04:20.200 That's why history's great.

01:04:21.300 If you want to know why the present is the way it is,

01:04:24.220 you have to learn some history.

01:04:26.880 I find it incredible when people say,

01:04:28.860 oh, I don't care about history, it's boring.

01:04:32.120 So you're not curious about anything then.

01:04:35.960 Don't you want to know why the world is the way it is?

01:04:38.600 Now, do you not want to know that?

01:04:40.140 The present is just a product of the past.

01:04:43.220 You're not interested in how the world works

01:04:46.140 And why it is the way it is, no

01:04:47.320 History is boring

01:04:49.020 Okay, alright, good luck

01:04:51.320 Good luck navigating through the world then

01:04:53.420 Okay, thanks for that global church history

01:04:56.600 The next one is

01:04:58.900 Jacob Castro

01:05:00.280 It doesn't say how much money

01:05:03.560 But it's in red

01:05:04.320 That usually means it's a lot of money, doesn't it?

01:05:07.100 Anyway

01:05:07.340 Well, thank you

01:05:09.760 But I don't know how much you've actually donated there

01:05:12.140 But it is in red

01:05:13.540 Quite rare

01:05:14.580 Jacob Castro says

01:05:16.040 It just says

01:05:18.120 Jacob Castro has raided the stream

01:05:20.420 Exclamation mark

01:05:21.120 Oh

01:05:21.320 Well thank you

01:05:23.960 It seems like it's a welcome raid

01:05:26.000 If you've donated a bit of money there

01:05:30.300 Appreciate it

01:05:31.680 Welcome aboard

01:05:32.680 You are now a member of the glorious band

01:05:36.420 The Chosen Few

01:05:37.000 jeffrey farnell says morning old boy morning old boy jolly good have you seen the nintendo is

01:05:50.200 remaking ocarania of time are you a fan of the original is that um harry do you know what is

01:06:02.360 that oh isn't that the um legend of zelda zelda that's it zelda um i played it a bit actually to

01:06:09.920 be honest a little bit but not massively i know some people that was like a proper cult classic

01:06:13.700 wasn't it it's like their favorite game of all time and stuff um is it on the n64 the one that

01:06:19.980 people really really really loved was it an n64 game i think it was um i played it a fair bit i

01:06:26.360 sunk a fair few hours into it but i don't think i ever completed uh like completed the story mode

01:06:32.320 or anything it's like one of the first really good open world games wasn't it played it a fair

01:06:37.140 bit but i haven't got time for games these days particularly other than the odd bit of civ 4

01:06:44.480 i see 4 sometimes but as for like deep pc gaming i haven't got a decent rig anyway

01:06:53.360 or um console gaming i don't own a ds or anything i've got an old xbox 360 which just

01:07:01.380 gathers dust in the corner i really hardly ever ever use it i just haven't got time i spend nearly

01:07:11.240 all day every day working really if i do get a little bit of time free completely free

01:07:16.840 i usually spend it just buggering about on youtube or twitter

01:07:20.980 sinking dozens or even hundreds of hours into a game which is not practical for me i'm afraid

01:07:29.740 all right st luke 91 luke street luke stewart says g'day bow oh yeah g'day mate how good

01:07:36.540 says g'day bow and everyone hope everyone's doing well on this thursday evening or because he's in

01:07:43.360 australia it's the evening uh just in case you don't get to it apparently an iranian man arrested

01:07:49.900 over an arson attack on a mosque in dublin oh i didn't see that i didn't see that in the news

01:07:55.280 cycle at all this morning okay yes that happened an iranian man an iranian man on an arson attack

01:08:04.000 on a mosque in dublin was it a was it like a sunni mosque and if he's iranian he's

01:08:11.400 a shia or perhaps he's a zoroastrian

01:08:15.780 or perhaps he's a zoroastrian or a very very rare iranian christian

01:08:22.980 that's the first time hearing of it okay next one is also luke you say this might sound horrible

01:08:30.260 but i'm at the effort stage next time pakistan or any of these third world 0.93

01:08:37.500 s-holes has a natural disaster don't send any aid unless they take their their rapist back 0.84

01:08:43.100 yeah you could do also they could do all sorts of stuff they could put pressure on pakistan 0.97

01:08:48.880 in a myriad of ways if they wanted to again it's just a matter of having the political will

01:08:54.620 to do it or make a deal with some other country somewhere else in the world

01:09:00.100 and say you've got a little remote island somewhere

01:09:03.440 the island of saint helena has been mooted once or twice yeah in fact britain has got

01:09:11.040 look, all sorts of overseas territories, little islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean or the

01:09:16.580 Pacific or the Atlantic, where we could build some sort of equivalent of Guantanamo Bay,

01:09:22.720 where it's like, if you don't leave, we will put you there. You spend the rest of your life in

01:09:29.020 detention there. It would just require political will, wouldn't it? It would just require enough

01:09:34.740 MPs to vote for it

01:09:36.900 and the will to not

01:09:39.020 buckle under the pressure from the likes of

01:09:40.980 The Guardian and Channel 4 News

01:09:43.100 that's all it would require, I'll say all

01:09:44.620 it's quite a big ask isn't it

01:09:47.140 but yeah 1.00

01:09:48.980 they could put loads of pressure on Pakistan

01:09:51.000 in a number of ways but they just won't, they don't 1.00

01:09:53.000 want to, they don't want to

01:09:55.040 they would rather this monster stay in our 0.78

01:09:56.940 country 0.95

01:09:57.940 pardon me

01:10:04.740 Right

01:10:07.280 Pigdog

01:10:10.340 Pigdog 5150

01:10:13.180 I do beg your pardon

01:10:15.780 Just got a little bit of

01:10:17.620 Okay

01:10:20.720 You've just put 0.93

01:10:23.120 Rapists dot dot dot 0.94

01:10:24.860 Deport question mark 0.97

01:10:26.140 Maybe deport their soul from their mortal coil

01:10:30.700 Rupert better bring back that punishment

01:10:33.840 Yeah, it is a policy of restore Britain

01:10:37.540 To have a national referendum on the death penalty

01:10:41.020 It was always a bleeding heart liberal thing

01:10:44.880 Always

01:10:45.720 It was always a socialist lefty thing

01:10:48.780 To get rid of it

01:10:49.880 Oh, you can't

01:10:51.100 What if you accidentally execute someone that's innocent?

01:10:54.120 Well, that actually isn't a bad argument

01:10:56.140 Well, in this day and age

01:10:57.820 When you've got DNA evidence

01:10:59.400 And when you're sure

01:11:01.220 To the tune of billions to one

01:11:04.260 That someone did it

01:11:05.580 With blood or semen evidence

01:11:07.380 It's billions to one

01:11:09.460 That it wasn't this person

01:11:10.640 It was

01:11:11.960 The odds of it not being them

01:11:16.020 Is more than there are people in the world

01:11:17.780 So it just was them

01:11:18.800 So that argument falls apart

01:11:21.680 You might execute an innocent person

01:11:24.140 Well, no, we can be sure 1.00

01:11:25.480 They're not an innocent party

01:11:27.560 What about then?

01:11:28.880 Oh they're human rights

01:11:31.640 No

01:11:31.860 No no no

01:11:32.780 Don't give me human rights

01:11:33.740 All of that is subjective

01:11:35.920 No I don't accept

01:11:38.420 The bleeding heart liberal

01:11:39.700 Thing

01:11:40.380 Of that

01:11:41.340 That you cannot put them to death 1.00

01:11:42.700 No they deserve death 1.00

01:11:43.840 Someone like that 1.00

01:11:46.540 Axel Rudolf Katana dude

01:11:48.100 Whatever it was

01:11:48.580 Someone like Ian Huntley

01:11:49.480 Someone like this

01:11:50.480 This guy that has done 0.91

01:11:52.240 30 child rapes

01:11:53.320 And undoubtedly more

01:11:54.840 Controlled a gang

01:11:56.100 That would have done

01:11:57.200 Hundreds and hundreds 1.00

01:11:58.580 and talk to me about morals and ethics they deserve death yeah 0.97

01:12:07.060 and we'll stop it and we'll give you a national referendum on that i don't think that's reforms

01:12:15.220 policy pretty sure it's not i might be wrong pretty sure it's not 0.91

01:12:18.020 okay next one the next couple are also pig dog 5150 again you say 0.95

01:12:24.960 In quotation marks 0.94

01:12:27.880 Can't deport

01:12:28.520 Question mark 1.00

01:12:29.200 Traitors

01:12:29.780 Yeah

01:12:30.040 Yeah

01:12:30.880 All that is needed

01:12:33.740 Is sufficient

01:12:34.900 Testicular fortitude 0.78

01:12:36.440 The balls to do it 0.92

01:12:38.660 That's a classic 0.98

01:12:39.100 That's from

01:12:39.480 From wrestling isn't it

01:12:41.620 WWE

01:12:42.060 Vince McMahon used to say that

01:12:43.220 Didn't he

01:12:43.560 Or Triple H

01:12:45.200 Or Steve Austin

01:12:46.080 The testicular fortitude

01:12:47.960 Just the guts 0.99

01:12:49.160 The balls 0.95

01:12:49.700 A righteous will 0.91

01:12:51.540 Yeah all that is needed

01:12:52.720 Is testicular fortitude

01:12:53.800 And a righteous will

01:12:54.780 a few good men, a Hercules

01:12:56.920 fly them to their most likely

01:13:01.540 country of origin and boot them out 1.00

01:13:03.320 again, rolls down to the

01:13:07.380 political will, enough MPs to do it

01:13:09.500 and then

01:13:10.860 and then the will to not bend

01:13:15.480 under the scorn and

01:13:17.420 ire of somebody like

01:13:19.480 Shami Chakrabarti

01:13:22.820 that's all it requires pigdog5150 again says the bay or tapestry

01:13:30.480 if no video recording is allowed maybe a high quality voice recording over the top of some

01:13:36.920 public domain video or images of the tapestry yeah yeah yeah did harold take one in the eye

01:13:42.860 an arrow an arrow in the eye um i think so yes when you look at it oh god i could talk about

01:13:50.100 this for easily 20 minutes so just a quick one or two minutes

01:13:53.860 in the bayou tapestry it's not just pictures and the ornate border there's also all sorts

01:14:03.580 of writing on it it's actually not a tapestry is it it's a it's an embroidery um that's my

01:14:11.220 fedora tip actually it's not a tapestry it's an embroidery um there's all sorts of writing

01:14:17.640 and one of the conventions in it is that they put the they write the name of the person directly

01:14:23.460 over the head directly above the person so like there'll be a depiction of william the conqueror

01:14:30.440 it's obviously william the conqueror sitting on a throne and above his head the writing the writing

01:14:34.880 when it gets to the name william that will be directly over the top of his head right that's

01:14:39.220 the convention in in in the tapestry embroidery um and so the bit where there's someone getting

01:14:45.580 an arrow in the eye people said you don't know that's harold that might not be harold that could

01:14:49.420 just be anyone that could be a soldier but it says harold directly in fact the wording of harold has

01:14:55.360 to go around the top of his head and the arrow so it's harold it's harold in my opinion in my opinion

01:15:03.960 that he that's supposed to be him getting an arrow in the eye so for me yeah i think it's

01:15:11.740 contrarian people that say it's not i think it is all right could go into loads more detail about

01:15:18.860 all of that but my next couple uh st luke again he says if auntie bumham wants to be prime minister 0.76

01:15:26.980 forever all he had to do was just kick out the rapists and criminals and everyone will keep

01:15:31.380 voting for labor forever it should be as popular he'd be as popular as naib bukele yeah

01:15:37.580 i've said a number of times if the most leftist people suddenly became based truly based and i

01:15:49.220 believed i had faith they would do what's required to save this country pardon me from a sectarian

01:15:55.780 nightmare i would support them if ed davy came out and was suddenly the leader of the lib dems

01:16:02.840 suddenly became uber-based

01:16:05.400 and I had faith, I believed him that he meant it

01:16:07.880 I would say so

01:16:10.860 and I'd lend him my support

01:16:12.600 it's not going to happen

01:16:15.540 no, Stern and Burnham will do no such thing

01:16:19.360 because it's hard-baked into his world view, isn't it

01:16:22.240 to have an out-group preference

01:16:23.920 it's a socialist, communist thing

01:16:26.500 that our capitalist society

01:16:29.260 is fundamentally bad

01:16:32.460 should be ripped down luke again says interesting when you look at a lot of charity even some

01:16:40.480 government organizations started as a church christian thing to help people

01:16:44.960 they love to talk about the bad but they forget the the good done too yeah when you look at it

01:16:53.660 christian's going to be annoyed at me for saying this but what luke says there is actually true 0.83

01:16:57.820 Various Christians

01:16:59.780 Well look at the Pope 0.82

01:17:00.640 Isn't he sort of an arch

01:17:03.460 Something close to an arch 0.90

01:17:07.000 Wokest open borders type 0.97

01:17:09.620 Don't you

01:17:11.240 Aren't there lots and lots of examples of Anglican 1.00

01:17:13.560 Let's stop with the Catholics 0.98

01:17:14.280 Let's talk about the Protestants

01:17:15.200 Those are loads of Anglican priests

01:17:17.520 And bishops 0.96

01:17:18.920 Female ones with purple hair 1.00

01:17:21.660 Gay ones with the 1.00

01:17:24.060 Rainbow lanyards 1.00

01:17:25.780 Holding up signs saying 1.00

01:17:27.320 We're all Muslim now

01:17:28.560 Refugees welcome here

01:17:32.300 Yeah 0.99

01:17:34.620 Yep

01:17:36.620 I won't labour the point because I know a lot of our

01:17:38.840 Audience is Christian 1.00

01:17:40.980 But it's a fair point 1.00

01:17:43.400 Not just Christian, also a lot of

01:17:45.220 Jewish organisations

01:17:46.560 A lot of Jewish organisations

01:17:49.100 Don't they? They've advocated

01:17:51.080 Over the years for open borders

01:17:53.220 Haven't they?

01:17:54.700 There's a pattern there, isn't there?

01:17:57.320 isn't there yeah there is yeah there is okay pickdog5150 says definitely

01:18:06.100 Monocle

01:18:09.160 I'll get a Monocle I don't even know where you'd buy one where do you even get a

01:18:11.960 Monocle these days off the internet of course sorry I'm thinking of a Monocle

01:18:16.680 shop there's no Monocle shop in Swindon get one for the internet can I all right

01:18:25.080 Luke again says

01:18:26.640 Forget the past and be doomed to repeat it

01:18:29.260 Why I like learning and living history

01:18:31.120 Yeah, that's a classic old cliche isn't it

01:18:33.380 Those who fail to learn from the past

01:18:35.600 Are doomed to repeat it, yeah

01:18:36.760 History never repeats itself

01:18:39.240 But it does rhyme

01:18:40.120 Yeah, no absolutely

01:18:41.780 Cicero

01:18:42.940 The first century BC Roman statesman and orator

01:18:46.580 Did say

01:18:50.060 In translation of course

01:18:52.240 To remain ignorant of your past

01:18:55.280 Is to forever remain a child

01:18:56.840 Don't learn about the past

01:19:00.340 You're bumbling through the world

01:19:02.000 Like a little kid

01:19:02.780 Not knowing what's going on or why

01:19:04.140 Yeah, learn a bit of history

01:19:06.380 If you haven't already

01:19:07.200 I know a lot of you have

01:19:08.640 That's obviously not directed

01:19:11.340 At Global Church History

01:19:12.260 He knows his stuff

01:19:13.020 He's out history bro-ed me

01:19:14.340 A couple of times

01:19:14.980 Okay

01:19:17.100 Tom Ratt says

01:19:19.440 Modern exile

01:19:20.600 You serve your sentence 0.99

01:19:21.900 then remain indefinitely until unless you sort out a country to go to who will take you right

01:19:27.140 yeah i mean that would probably you'd have to build more prisons more facilities for that but

01:19:34.340 yeah yeah you're not allowed back into the general population yeah yeah i'd be up for that i like

01:19:40.600 that and the final run around today is from big paradox 23 it says salvation army put it put me

01:19:49.380 in a two meter square room and told me as a worker i will be billed 1400 a month had to sign a waiver

01:19:59.460 because of bed bugs and salmonella ridden eggs they're an evil cult oh well okay i did not know

01:20:06.460 that i don't know a great deal about the salvation army to be honest i've never had to use them in

01:20:11.260 any way you're saying they're bad that is news to me okay my knowledge of them was very minimal i

01:20:16.660 know a bit about William Booth and Catherine Booth and the founding of it in the 19th century

01:20:20.380 I don't know how they how they um operate these days the main thing I know about them in real

01:20:28.040 life actual real life experience is sometimes a fate they might they have a band the Salvation

01:20:33.960 Army band you're saying according to that this is honestly news to me that they're pretty bad

01:20:39.340 they're an evil cult you've described them as oh okay well I'm sorry to hear that

01:20:44.580 That is a little bit of shocking news to me

01:20:47.880 I just always assumed

01:20:48.980 Because I've never had any interaction with them

01:20:50.840 Just assumed it was just a good thing

01:20:52.640 Like Dr. Barnardo's or whatever

01:20:53.980 Or Oxfam

01:20:55.100 Though Oxfam are a bit dodgy aren't they

01:20:56.960 And a few dodgy things in the past

01:20:58.860 Oh okay

01:21:00.820 If that's true

01:21:03.160 And I'm not saying it's not true

01:21:04.160 I'm not questioning you

01:21:05.200 But if that's true that's horrible

01:21:06.240 Alright

01:21:09.060 Who knew I didn't know

01:21:10.420 Maybe I should have to do a bit of research about them then

01:21:13.440 Read a bit about them

01:21:14.580 a bit of a blind spot for me then good to know it's good to realize what your blind spots are

01:21:20.020 talk about history learn some history it's good to know to recognize what bits you don't know

01:21:24.800 and if needs be remedy that okay let's look at our the youtube super chats please harry you have

01:21:32.560 to bring that up on my screen for me make it so engage there is okay what have we got 20 odd okay

01:21:41.460 Jordan Jeffrey says

01:21:46.160 Diesel, May 31st I paid £1.98 per litre

01:21:49.820 June 23rd I paid £1.60 per litre

01:21:53.420 It's coming down, weird but true

01:21:56.420 Our poll still says

01:21:59.540 63% of you say it hasn't come down

01:22:02.220 Jordan Jeffrey begs to differ with you

01:22:05.380 As does little Harry

01:22:07.500 As does the

01:22:10.520 Mainstream media

01:22:11.700 Okay

01:22:13.920 The Demon King Restore

01:22:17.200 Doesn't say anything and just gives

01:22:18.760 A little bit of money there, I appreciate that, thank you sir 1.00

01:22:20.660 Belgians are evil, trust me 1.00

01:22:27.980 That's one long thing 1.00

01:22:28.880 I actually do find it quite difficult to read

01:22:30.860 One long word like that 1.00

01:22:32.500 Belgians are evil, trust me 1.00

01:22:34.960 Says 1.00

01:22:35.600 Names of airport cops known

01:22:40.140 Not Henry Novak cops

01:22:42.500 Right, so you talk about that Manchester airport thing

01:22:46.680 And then, but Henry Novak cops

01:22:49.540 Yeah, so it was in the news

01:22:50.800 I should talk about today actually

01:22:52.780 Maybe I'll try to talk about tomorrow

01:22:54.460 That at least two of those cops

01:22:56.900 On the night of the Henry Novak killing

01:22:59.060 Are going, are being investigated

01:23:01.560 By the IOPC

01:23:03.440 The police internal investigations unit

01:23:06.340 Only after that investigation

01:23:08.680 Has finished will they even look at

01:23:10.460 Whether they'll be prosecuted

01:23:12.840 Or disciplined in any way

01:23:13.980 But at least two of them

01:23:15.980 It's got to be the main guy

01:23:17.540 That male cop who said

01:23:19.320 I don't think you are mate

01:23:20.760 He's got to be one of them hasn't he

01:23:22.380 But they haven't been named

01:23:23.100 Yeah

01:23:23.820 Not yet

01:23:25.660 If it goes to court

01:23:27.820 They will be

01:23:29.760 If they actually get prosecuted for something

01:23:32.380 then they will be but at the moment you're right then they've not been named at this stage

01:23:37.020 okay the demon king restore again says those who say they haven't seen a price drop don't

01:23:45.920 get out much as a driver for a living it's dropped about 30p a liter

01:23:49.920 there you go facts i assume the demon king restore isn't just lying

01:24:01.200 you know he isn't so dropped 30p a liter

01:24:06.000 getting bbc saying it's the biggest drop in 26 years but still 63 percent of you said no okay

01:24:17.100 Right

01:24:18.940 User

01:24:19.740 And then a really long

01:24:20.960 String of letters

01:24:22.000 Says

01:24:22.480 Don't you think

01:24:24.400 Russia is based 0.97

01:24:25.460 How he a traitor 0.97

01:24:27.320 Don't you think 1.00

01:24:29.300 Russia is based 0.97

01:24:30.140 How he a traitor

01:24:31.340 I'm not sure what

01:24:32.280 I mean

01:24:33.620 Russia is based

01:24:34.480 In some ways isn't it

01:24:35.380 Like it's not

01:24:35.940 Based isn't probably 0.98

01:24:37.940 The right word 1.00

01:24:38.540 Russia's a funny 1.00

01:24:42.360 Society 1.00

01:24:43.620 Funny not

01:24:45.080 Particularly ha ha

01:24:45.880 Funny odd

01:24:46.700 in some ways they are based aren't they like they're they're sort of russian orthodox christian 0.85

01:24:52.720 they they're not globo homo right he takes the mickey out of the west and the united states 0.88

01:24:58.320 for being globo homo doesn't he literally mocks it so and they're very patriotic i've never got 0.81

01:25:06.520 much for choice about that but they're very patriotic in all sorts of ways um they are based 0.97

01:25:11.540 in loads of other ways russian society seems horrible i'm not sure i'd want to live there

01:25:15.700 I'd love to visit St. Petersburg

01:25:17.500 I wouldn't mind visiting

01:25:18.820 I wouldn't mind visiting Moscow

01:25:21.660 A couple of other places in Russia

01:25:26.660 I'd quite like to visit

01:25:28.180 I'd definitely like to visit

01:25:31.720 The Hermitage in St. Petersburg

01:25:33.640 But it is still like a

01:25:36.460 Highly controlled society

01:25:39.040 Isn't it though

01:25:40.020 If you do the wrong thing

01:25:42.260 Say the wrong thing

01:25:43.140 You do get in trouble

01:25:44.800 Although, if you say the wrong thing in Britain, you get in trouble, don't you?

01:25:48.700 I mean, I don't know how bad it is now, but certainly in the early 2000s, 1.00

01:25:53.580 it was like a kleptopsy. 1.00

01:25:55.960 It was like a gangsters-ran society. 0.98

01:25:59.760 Gangsters.

01:26:00.640 I don't know if it's still the case.

01:26:01.560 I think it is. 0.99

01:26:03.640 There's all sorts of problems with Russian society.

01:26:06.880 But I don't know exactly what you're saying there, user.

01:26:08.620 I do remember that yesterday you said you made some sort of extremely pro-Ukraine sentiment.

01:26:14.800 Don't you think Russia is based

01:26:17.720 How he a traitor

01:26:18.740 I don't know what that last bit means

01:26:20.120 How he a traitor

01:26:21.140 Who are you talking about

01:26:21.820 Putin

01:26:23.940 I think it's called 0.95

01:26:24.740 Putin a traitor 0.87

01:26:26.440 Okay 0.93

01:26:26.860 You'll have to clarify yourself

01:26:28.440 Or re-read your super chat

01:26:31.340 Before you post it

01:26:32.140 So that it makes full sense

01:26:33.660 Another one from 1.00

01:26:37.620 Belgians are evil trust me 1.00

01:27:15.940 to their pro-islam worldview but the novak cops who aren't them just by default yeah they won't

01:27:24.360 dox them telling isn't it very telling erwin romulus how are you sir met him at the latest

01:27:32.160 this live event he said what do you make of henry bolton oh right so okay i'll reserve judgment a

01:27:41.000 little bit but i will say a few words so henry bolton was named i think just yesterday wasn't he

01:27:45.340 as um as a some sort of spokesman for restore i think it was on was it on um was it on military

01:27:55.560 things or foreign affairs things i can't remember exactly i had a super busy day yesterday didn't

01:28:00.960 get much time to do just sit there reading twitter and reading the news um so there are some concerns

01:28:07.880 i think i i'll have to i'll have to i'll have to brush up again on henry bolton's backstory but he

01:28:14.640 was leader of ukip for a while wasn't he that was one of his things he was in the military wasn't he

01:28:18.520 he was i don't know a fantastic amount about him i probably should so on those people i should he

01:28:23.040 was in the military wasn't he he was a policeman for a long time wasn't he and he was the leader

01:28:27.340 of UKIP for a while, wasn't he? But then, I think there were some questions about how

01:28:32.140 he managed UKIP poorly. I don't know, I need to brush up on it. So before I give my opinion

01:28:36.740 fully, one way or another, let me brush up on it. I'll say that. On the face of it, he

01:28:45.340 seems like quite a serious individual, though, doesn't he? He's not some sort of, he's not

01:28:50.200 Like some sort of joke

01:28:51.280 Like Lawrence Fox

01:28:54.000 And there's a bit of gravitas there

01:28:55.740 Okay

01:28:56.260 Amazing Disgrace 9-1-1

01:28:58.940 Says

01:30:22.360 A back posture

01:30:23.420 Is perfect

01:30:24.120 At least Bo

01:30:24.700 Doesn't have

01:30:25.300 Any orthopaedic

01:30:26.420 Problems

01:30:27.040 When reporting

01:30:27.820 Oh

01:30:28.580 My posture

01:30:29.480 Isn't

01:30:30.520 My posture

01:30:30.920 Is alright

01:30:31.400 It's not perfect

01:30:32.220 Actually

01:30:32.620 I've got a slight

01:30:33.600 What's it called

01:30:34.480 Anterior

01:30:34.960 Pelvic

01:30:36.200 Like nearly 1.00

01:30:37.340 Everyone has

01:30:38.380 Everyone sits in a chair

01:30:39.680 Works in an office

01:30:40.320 For years

01:30:40.820 I can't remember

01:30:41.720 Anterior pelvic

01:30:42.820 Something or other

01:30:44.980 Yeah, my posture's reasonably good

01:30:47.260 But it's not perfect

01:30:48.800 Sometimes I do suffer from a slightly painful lower back

01:30:51.800 Probably just because I'm getting old

01:30:54.100 But thank you though

01:30:55.740 I think my posture's good, that's nice

01:30:57.580 Calm65

01:31:02.000 Based Welshman I met the other day up in Macclesfield

01:31:05.180 How are you sir?

01:31:05.900 You say, yes it's come down to £1.60 odd

01:31:08.860 But was £1.40-ish pre-war

01:31:12.860 Aim high, vote low, millions must go

01:31:14.960 nice yeah aim my vote loan meanings must go from zoomers to boomers um so it's come down but still 0.90

01:31:21.460 not as low as it was pre-war but our poll we did say has have you noticed a reduction at all

01:31:26.980 charbes saying it has come down another bit of evidence from the real world okay thank you sir

01:31:33.200 next one thomas glover 92 says isn't it funny that americans say all dates month year except

01:31:40.100 4th of july oh yeah i've never noticed that good point yeah that's one of the things that brits and

01:31:45.380 americans disagree on isn't it one of those things the dating we correctly do day month year obviously

01:31:54.200 that's obviously that should be or is the correct form of doing it some reason americans often do

01:32:05.000 it the other way around they put the month first then the day then the year why why why are you

01:32:10.660 doing that anyway 4th of July right yeah 4th of July yeah I've never noticed that before good

01:32:19.260 point all right Tatum2733 says uh what a joke of a state fair for the 250th we're having in DC

01:32:29.420 oh I didn't know exactly what's going on I was sort of I was waiting for it to just come up in

01:32:33.280 I haven't kept my eye on that

01:32:35.100 But you're saying it's a joke

01:32:36.620 And you put all in capitals

01:32:38.820 American century of humiliation

01:32:41.200 Oh okay 0.80

01:32:42.520 Okay take time

01:32:44.480 That's a reference to 0.97

01:32:46.720 The Chinese said they suffered

01:32:49.140 A century of humiliation

01:32:50.540 Basically like

01:32:51.760 Half the 19th century and half of the early

01:32:55.120 20th century century of humiliation

01:32:57.260 You're saying the United States

01:32:58.560 Century of humiliation

01:32:59.900 Look at the one from

01:33:02.700 1893 they carved 200 buildings okay so you're just really disappointed with the 250th um

01:33:13.560 anniversary um celebrations that are going on in dc i'm afraid i don't know about it in a great

01:33:19.740 detail there's another thing i don't know about in a great detail as of this morning i should look

01:33:24.520 into it of course it will be all over the news won't it it's actually on the weekend isn't it

01:33:28.320 The fourth

01:33:28.780 So but on Monday

01:33:30.340 On Monday no doubt

01:33:31.880 I would have thought

01:33:32.460 It would be all in the news

01:33:33.460 And I'll talk all about it then

01:33:34.560 There you go

01:33:35.840 Okay

01:33:36.300 It's a shame

01:33:37.020 If you're disappointed by it

01:33:38.340 Probably legitimately

01:33:39.220 You know

01:33:40.380 I trust your judgement

01:33:41.180 That's a shame then isn't it

01:33:42.360 If it is underwhelming

01:33:43.360 Or just lame

01:33:43.980 If it is

01:33:45.220 That will be a shame

01:33:47.080 Alright

01:33:48.020 Amazing Disgrace again says

01:33:49.560 BBQ and fireworks

01:33:50.760 Will distract America

01:33:51.720 From any world tragedies

01:33:54.180 On the fourth of July

01:33:55.080 Stay safe friends

01:33:56.500 Good bit of advice to stay safe

01:34:00.980 Yeah, probably will be

01:34:02.220 If you wanted to

01:34:03.300 If the powers that be wanted to sink a story

01:34:06.880 Do it on the 4th of July

01:34:09.960 Or the day after even

01:34:11.180 Because the news cycle will be dominated by that, won't it?

01:34:15.420 So I feel like maybe this Mandelson thing

01:34:17.160 About being a spy for the Russians for 35 years

01:34:20.060 That came out the day after an England win in the World Cup 0.90

01:34:26.500 And they would have known

01:34:28.220 That the news cycle would just be completely dominated by that

01:34:32.620 Am I being too cynical?

01:34:38.500 Probably not

01:34:39.580 Tatum again says

01:34:41.960 You would love, in capital letters

01:34:45.420 You would love the Total War games

01:34:47.120 Rome, Napoleon

01:34:47.940 I played a little bit of Total War Rome 2

01:34:51.640 But only a little bit

01:34:53.320 And it did look really good

01:34:54.420 There's loads of games I would love to play

01:34:56.120 If I had endless money, didn't need to work

01:34:59.080 Didn't have any obligations

01:35:01.020 I would be a gamer

01:35:02.620 I was when I was younger

01:35:04.100 Like what's that

01:35:06.800 Remember Cyberpunk

01:35:08.220 Cyberpunk, that was one of those games

01:35:11.000 When it came out, when they got rid of all the glitches

01:35:12.740 And apparently it worked well

01:35:13.700 That was one of those games where I was like

01:35:15.360 I just wish I had a brilliant PC, a giant screen

01:35:18.540 And endless time

01:35:19.480 But I just haven't

01:35:22.200 Yeah, Rome Total War

01:35:23.640 I would have loved to have got into it

01:35:26.540 Life gets in the way I'm afraid

01:35:29.460 Yeah I've heard only good things about the Total War series

01:35:32.180 Okay

01:35:33.620 Max Robe says

01:35:35.960 As you get older you have to accept

01:35:38.080 You need to get some cheap reading glasses

01:35:40.620 They don't hurt or anything

01:35:43.400 Yeah fair point

01:35:44.480 I mean my vision

01:35:45.420 I've always had really really sharp vision

01:35:48.600 I think it's

01:35:49.420 Well I'm sure in fact I know

01:35:50.840 It was slightly sharper than 2020 when I was young

01:35:53.780 And now it's only just

01:35:56.220 It's only just

01:35:58.120 Not as good as it once was

01:36:00.000 Only just

01:36:00.620 But yeah, I should have to come to terms with it at one point

01:36:04.060 At some point

01:36:05.660 It's still pretty good

01:36:08.660 It would only be just off of 2020 I would have thought

01:36:11.860 But sort of

01:36:15.240 95% of the time or more

01:36:18.980 It's absolutely fine

01:36:20.840 it's just sometimes on the screen it actually is really small the screens are quite a long

01:36:26.960 way from from me in in real life in actual reality real life they're quite a long way away

01:36:31.840 well a few meters away on the other side of a room not a tiny room and the writing just

01:36:40.920 is quite small but the monocle would be funny would be funny okay yeah i should have to come

01:36:50.060 To terms with at some point needing glasses

01:36:51.460 Right

01:36:53.240 If you can come to terms with being bald

01:36:56.120 I think you can come to terms with

01:36:57.800 Wearing glasses

01:36:58.460 Okay Tatum again

01:37:00.080 Leo acts like the Pope in Camp of the Saints

01:37:02.560 I still haven't read Camp of the Saints

01:37:03.880 I need to

01:37:05.420 I need to

01:37:07.660 You're talking about the current Pope

01:37:08.960 That's his name isn't it

01:37:11.200 Okay

01:37:13.900 Emily for Restore says

01:37:17.760 Most charities today are communist rackets

01:37:20.480 And a crying face

01:37:21.780 Yeah, often

01:37:22.640 They sort of are, aren't they? 0.93

01:37:26.280 Traitorous communist rackets 0.97

01:37:27.880 Yeah 0.95

01:37:28.780 You're not wrong

01:37:32.340 Erwin Romulus again says

01:37:34.420 Monocles are plenty on your Twitter, old boy

01:37:37.140 Do you know what?

01:37:44.400 Until today

01:37:45.380 i'd never seriously considered getting it it's just oh that's just a funny thing the internet

01:37:49.720 says that's just one more funny thing surrounding the law of lotus eaters or breakfast with bow or

01:37:57.120 whatever but it's not completely ridiculous idea would it would certainly be funny

01:38:03.680 it's quite an affectation though what next a cravat

01:38:08.920 a top hat i mean a bow tie i'm not wearing a bow tie i'm not wearing a top hat i'm not doing cravats

01:38:19.780 and i always thought the monocle would be the same thing i'm not doing that that's a

01:38:25.720 it's a silly thing of course i'm not doing that but maybe just maybe

01:38:29.660 i might actually it might be good actually probably would be good okay

01:38:35.280 If my eyesight degenerates

01:38:38.920 To the point where I'm really struggling

01:38:40.660 Every day, nearly all the time

01:38:41.860 Then yeah, why not

01:38:44.020 Alright, and the last one, last one today

01:38:46.040 Is from Amazing Disgrace

01:38:48.360 Say 4th of July

01:38:50.460 Any way you want

01:38:51.860 We don't really care

01:38:57.700 This book, Born on the 4th of July

01:39:03.120 Born on the 4th of July, Harrowing

01:39:05.280 Anyway, that's got nothing to do with the actual 250th anniversary.

01:39:08.660 All right, that's the show.

01:39:09.660 That's the show.

01:39:10.520 It's now 39 minutes past nine.

01:39:12.720 Got 40 minutes extra.

01:39:14.700 Don't say I'm not generous.

01:39:15.560 I'm a river to my people.

01:39:16.660 39 minutes past nine in the AM, Bridges Summertime,
