00:01:41.220 I don't need for all that sort of faffing about, let's just get straight on to it.

00:01:46.220 What's that cabal of evil, quite frankly, evil Fleet Street editors,

00:01:49.220 lying to us about by omission this morning?

00:01:52.220 What's the legacy corporate lamestream media banging on about?

00:01:55.220 What are they cramming down the throat of the credulous average normie?

00:02:00.220 Swallows it all up like it's a sloppy joe, it's their favourite sloppy joe on any given day.

00:02:06.220 Right. Oh, the story's broken about the connection between George Osborne and Ehud Barak.

00:02:12.380 Oh, no, wait. No, it hasn't.

00:02:15.400 OK, we've got Kemi's Family Home Pledge. 0.75

00:02:19.280 She's tinkering around the edges of inheritance tax.

00:02:22.260 And Badenoch invokes core Tory values.

00:02:25.040 Hmm, what are those? Treason?

00:02:27.080 What core Tory values? Globalism?

00:02:30.300 Having an out-group preference?

00:02:33.020 Anti-white racism? Is that the core Tory values?

00:02:35.620 think so yeah talk or values give me a break all right the daily fail

00:02:46.900 the daily fail here so someone in the chat yesterday that's not mine i won't take credit for

00:02:51.300 that um someone in the chat over the last few days said it and i noticed it i was like that's funny

00:02:56.980 that's good gonna use that whoever that was kudos to you the daily mail pure globalist slot pure

00:03:04.180 subversion really pretending pretending it's got our interests at heart that it's patriotic in any

00:03:10.900 way nativist in any way no they're just as globalist as all the others that's something

00:03:17.060 about boy races don't care don't care right chemist family hope okay this should be the 0.52

00:03:22.100 last day because it was the last day of tory party conference yesterday so this should be the last

00:03:26.900 day when it's kind of wall-to-wall kemi the nigerian anchor baby the nigerian woman

00:03:34.180 little freak chemist family home pledge tories promise no stamp duty when you buy your home

00:03:42.740 well done no mansion tax when you're living in it yeah man's text is always a travesty

00:03:51.140 just lefties and commies despise rich people their version of eating the rich they haven't 0.99

00:03:56.900 got the balls in this day and age to actually take on the rich and murder them all because 0.99

00:04:00.980 Because that's what they would want to do. 0.99

00:04:03.620 That's a bit extreme, but where'd that come from?

00:04:05.480 From the record of history?

00:04:08.240 From every time communists have got in power?

00:04:12.660 They like to eat the rich, don't they?

00:04:14.880 I love it.

00:04:15.720 They can't quite do that in this day and age in this country,

00:04:17.560 so the best they're able to do is a mansion tax.

00:04:21.800 Okay, no inheritance tax.

00:04:23.380 Oh, that's good.

00:04:23.880 They're going to abolish all inheritance tax.

00:04:25.580 No, no, no, no, no.

00:04:26.240 No inheritance tax when time comes to pass it on.

00:04:30.980 So no inheritance tax on the home

00:04:33.720 The family home

00:04:34.460 But not abolishing inheritance tax entirely

00:04:36.760 I think they're raising the threshold

00:04:39.000 For other parts of the estate or money

00:04:41.840 To like a million pounds

00:04:43.120 Restore Britain and I think Reform UK

00:04:45.540 Will just completely abolish it entirely 1.00

00:04:49.340 Afuera 1.00

00:04:50.620 She hasn't quite got the political trousers to do that 1.00

00:04:57.400 because she's only LARPing 1.00

00:05:00.500 as a British politician 1.00

00:05:01.840 isn't she 1.00

00:05:02.440 a bizarre cuckoo in the nest 0.86

00:05:07.180 a bizarre out of place

00:05:09.240 incongruous freak

00:05:10.360 sitting at the top of that 1.00

00:05:11.860 disgusting 1.00

00:05:12.780 traitorous pyramid 1.00

00:05:14.040 ugh 0.92

00:05:15.220 the metro

00:05:23.440 get some help

00:05:25.100 The metro

00:05:27.720 The metro

00:05:29.020 Crazy that it exists

00:05:32.080 Right

00:05:34.040 Kemmy has no inheritance tax on homes pledge

00:05:36.720 Safe as houses

00:05:38.520 Couples can leave up to £1 million

00:05:41.580 Tax free to loved ones

00:05:43.620 She says to woo voters

00:05:45.680 Even that

00:05:47.120 I don't think that goes anywhere far enough

00:05:48.920 As I say I completely agree with the idea

00:05:51.200 The concept of entirely abolishing inheritance tax

00:05:53.580 in its entirety

00:05:55.780 but even that

00:05:57.400 the lefties will go mad at that

00:05:58.920 they'll hate that

00:05:59.660 they'll say

00:06:01.740 they'll screech

00:06:02.940 that she likes 0.85

00:06:04.520 she loves rich people

00:06:05.740 and hates poor people

00:06:06.640 not what it is is it

00:06:08.500 it's not about that

00:06:09.480 it's the principle of the thing

00:06:12.820 core Tory values 1.00

00:06:15.040 what moving the deck chairs

00:06:19.000 16th of a mil

00:06:20.140 on the sinking Titanic

00:06:21.740 managed to decline

00:06:22.800 that is that Tory values, it is isn't it

00:06:24.800 that's what the Tory, modern Tory values

00:06:27.020 are, managing the

00:06:28.820 decline

00:06:29.260 alright

00:06:32.520 independent

00:06:34.960 more Kemi

00:06:37.020 Adonok

00:06:41.020 bets the family home to win back voters

00:06:43.120 conservative leader

00:06:44.440 pitches for middle class vote

00:06:46.600 with promise to scrap inheritance tax on houses

00:06:48.820 and huge boost for south east England

00:06:50.920 I don't know how that follows 0.97

00:06:52.100 Like only people in South East England

00:06:54.360 Will pass the family home on to their children

00:06:57.600 And close his door on any deal with Farage and reform

00:07:01.700 Yeah, she doubled down on that again

00:07:05.320 For like what, the 6th time, 10th time 0.99

00:07:08.640 God knows how many times

00:07:09.600 How many times they both say it

00:07:11.400 Farage and Kemi both say

00:07:12.900 They won't do any sort of deal with each other

00:07:14.640 We'll see what happens

00:07:16.440 What the results are at the next general election

00:07:18.540 And we'll see if power presents itself

00:07:21.420 To Nigel and Kemi

00:07:23.180 If she's still there

00:07:24.320 If he's still there

00:07:25.520 Power presents itself to them

00:07:29.900 Labour can't form 1.00

00:07:34.700 A minority government

00:07:37.060 Or any sort of coalition with

00:07:38.540 What the Lib Dems and the Greens maybe

00:07:39.980 Or something if they can't

00:07:40.960 And it's on a plate

00:07:42.260 Power is on a plate

00:07:45.940 For Nigel and Kemi

00:07:47.060 All they need to do is bury the hatchet

00:07:49.520 Sign a bit of paper

00:07:51.500 Saying that they're in a coalition now

00:07:53.220 They'll probably do it

00:07:56.520 They'll probably do it

00:07:57.820 Power

00:07:59.500 Real power

00:08:00.560 When it's really there

00:08:01.560 For reals

00:08:02.180 It's actually

00:08:03.540 Right in front of you

00:08:04.640 All you need to do is

00:08:05.680 Swipe a pen

00:08:07.560 It's too enticing for them

00:08:12.220 I would have thought

00:08:12.700 Would have thought

00:08:13.400 I mean because the alternative is

00:08:16.180 Would be

00:08:18.340 assuming Labour couldn't form any sort of coalition just another general election that's

00:08:22.680 happened loads of times you have a general election it's a hung parliament there's wranglings

00:08:26.160 over trying to get form some sort of cobbled together government it can't happen or they

00:08:31.180 form one and it's so shaky that after a few months it falls apart you have another general election

00:08:35.420 that whole process has played out a number of times not for years and years and years in this

00:08:40.760 country, but it has. And then there's no guarantee that the electorate change their voting patterns

00:08:48.940 profoundly. Usually they actually do, but not always. You're left with another sort

00:08:55.340 of hung parliament. We'll see. In fact, should we hear from her a bit? I think it was on

00:09:03.140 channel 4 news yeah let's hear a bit from the horse's mouth hear a little bit but harry make

00:09:11.440 sure this is turned up because when i played this earlier it was quite quiet make sure it's loud

00:09:15.480 enough for people and people in the chat if it's too quiet let us know so to those who say unite

00:09:21.780 the right we are not uniting with that well you're not the right for a start your centre-left

00:09:29.080 globalists traitors you're not the right in what possible way is the conservative for the right

00:09:35.000 so there's that for a start okay she's just she's talking about reform there as well not 0.95

00:09:39.720 even restore or anything else she's talking about reform and nigel she's not going to unite with

00:09:43.800 that all right love all right we'll see how well that clip ages should as i say power be 0.51

00:09:54.600 offered to you on a plate and all you need do is swallow your pride and be Nigel's number two in

00:10:01.480 number ten all right of course you get a round of applause and a standing ovation for nearly

00:10:11.880 everything you say as party leader at conference i've always hated that dynamic stop clapping after

00:10:17.000 every sentence doing a standing ovation do like 20 standing ovations during a half hour speech

00:10:23.640 always hated that the slower ovation for that reflected the different voices you 0.99

00:10:32.140 hear within the party she attacked those in reform including another one-time

00:10:40.680 Tory conference darling Suella Braverman for saying that Englishness was a

00:10:45.300 matter of ethnicity I don't want to explain to my son when we're watching

00:10:51.360 our brilliant england team play football that some people don't think our black players are english 0.99

00:10:56.960 we must not let these english so you said english they're not english 1.00

00:11:02.160 if none of their parents or grandparents are english then they're not english 0.99

00:11:06.240 it's very straightforward people take us backwards that is not the country we are reform mps are

00:11:12.640 openly questioning people's identity they are not like us we are not like them we are different

00:11:18.640 we are the conservative party oh she seemed a bit angry there 0.99

00:11:26.560 we are not like them yeah no you're not yeah yeah you're insane lunatic globalists 1.00

00:11:33.200 anti-white traitors enemies of the people that's yeah you're not yeah you're not like 1.00

00:11:39.040 suella brevman i mean she's she's gross anyway i hate her anyway she's a traitor anyway she'd be 0.99

00:11:45.120 on trial for the crime she did against this country's home secretary anyway but even that 0.98

00:11:50.400 is way too far even that will get Olukemi Badenoch the Nigerian anchor baby angry really angry 0.98

00:11:57.840 yeah you're not like them yeah you're not like us 0.99

00:12:31.280 By the happen chance of being born in a British hospital

00:12:35.280 Okay, in that sense

00:12:36.320 Okay

00:12:36.760 But in what other sense?

00:12:39.760 None of your ancestors are British 0.99

00:12:41.200 Your DNA isn't British 0.99

00:12:42.900 Cuckoo in the nest

00:12:51.160 Our history?

00:12:53.640 So your history is Nigerian?

00:12:55.840 It's very straightforward stuff 1.00

00:13:02.440 our best days are not behind us and we what's all this way what's all this hour

00:13:06.920 your mum came over here from nigeria in order to take advantage of our generosity in our nhs

00:13:24.440 that's all that's all you're the child of nigerian expats 0.98

00:13:33.160 okay we will not let this country go backwards no it needs to go backwards from a position we're in 1.00

00:13:41.240 now which is an insane position where anyone can come here and just be british call themselves

00:13:46.920 english say they're more english than we are when they've just come from anywhere in the world

00:13:51.880 Now we do need to go backwards from that 0.98

00:13:54.140 Because that's insane

00:13:55.120 Because that's suicidal

00:13:56.860 Because that ruins our country and our people

00:13:59.980 Our demographic 1.00

00:14:00.680 It annihilates us in the final reckoning 1.00

00:14:02.880 Now we do need to retreat from that 0.97

00:14:05.400 Because that's lunatic 0.99

00:14:06.840 That's lunatic 0.99

00:14:07.900 That's an extreme position 0.99

00:14:09.100 That's mad

00:14:10.660 Yeah

00:14:11.560 This is out of time

00:14:16.020 Out of place

00:14:16.740 This is 10, 15, 20 years old

00:14:20.600 All of this

00:14:21.240 This is old hat now. This isn't going to fly for much longer. It will not fly for much longer.

00:14:30.960 Yeah, weep it up while it lasts. Have a good time, yeah.

00:14:34.200 This was an attempt to grab back the role of senior partner on the right of politics

00:14:38.400 and to set the terms of the next election as a battle between Labour and the Tories.

00:14:43.980 A bigger state versus a smaller one.

00:14:46.340 So, conference, the next Conservative government will legislate

00:14:51.460 so nobody will ever pay inheritance tax on their family home.

00:14:58.740 On the home.

00:14:59.420 Still inheritance tax.

00:15:00.800 Still inheritance tax.

00:15:02.060 If you've got more than quite a lot of money...

00:15:04.200 Couples will be allowed to pass on an extra million pounds

00:15:07.340 inheritance tax-free sum.

00:15:09.680 Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.

00:15:10.900 OK, get out of my face. 0.58

00:15:22.340 you can come over here from anywhere in the world have a baby in a british hospital and now

00:15:26.340 you're british forever and all your progeny are okay mad absolutely mad cannot stand

00:15:34.100 the express it's a good paper you can read your express now

00:15:39.540 it's a good paper

00:15:40.660 It's an Alan Partridge line

00:15:45.840 Okay, pretending to be like some sort of defender of the country

00:15:54.440 A crusader

00:15:55.880 Third crusade era knight

00:15:59.000 Just as globalist 0.98

00:16:02.160 Anti-white treasonous as all the others 0.99

00:16:05.540 Trying to pretend it's not 0.94

00:16:07.020 More subversive in that sense then, isn't it? 0.99

00:16:09.040 Trying to pretend it's not wearing the skin suit 1.00

00:16:11.660 Of something it isn't

00:16:13.440 No-nonsense Tories to stop inheritance raids 1.00

00:16:16.500 And have tough love approach to welfare 1.00

00:16:18.920 Yeah, because she's a no-nonsense mother figure, you see

00:16:22.020 Nigel is just a grumpy old grandpa

00:16:30.780 And 0.99

00:16:34.060 No-stern and Burnham is a cheesy uncle

00:16:36.980 These are her words, by the way

00:16:37.920 I'm not making these

00:16:38.780 These similes up

00:16:40.920 Metaphors

00:16:42.100 Similes

00:16:43.180 He's like

00:16:44.940 A grumpy old grandfather

00:16:46.520 Burnham is like 0.96

00:16:48.360 A cheesy uncle 0.82

00:16:49.200 And she's like 0.68

00:16:50.380 A no-nonsense

00:16:51.560 Firm but fair mother 1.00

00:16:53.040 Is that what you want? 1.00

00:16:55.140 A no-nonsense

00:16:56.000 Firm but fair

00:16:57.140 Nigerian mother 1.00

00:16:58.680 Is that what you want 1.00

00:16:59.700 To rule the country?

00:17:02.000 Is that really what you want?

00:17:04.620 Who's going to pretend

00:17:05.940 That she's one of us? 0.99

00:17:08.780 She should go and get involved in Nigerian politics, a lad of her forefathers. 1.00

00:17:13.520 Kemi, nobody will ever pay death tax on family homes. 0.56

00:17:16.400 Okay, lucky you probably almost certainly will never be in power.

00:17:20.520 It's all just hot air.

00:17:23.580 In opposition, you can say whatever you want within reason.

00:17:26.480 You never have to carry it out.

00:17:28.120 All right, the Financial Times. 0.52

00:17:30.120 Another pitch of Olukemi, Olufanti, Badenoch, the Nigerian anchor baby. 0.57

00:17:34.680 Right, a different story.

00:17:35.760 Iran war blows £12 billion hole in Healy's headroom for manoeuvre

00:17:41.080 Public finances, Czech budget hopes, tax rises and spending cuts feared

00:17:47.280 That's classic, isn't it?

00:17:48.960 That's leftist economic theory, which is what the Tories basically peddled

00:17:52.540 During their time in power, last 14 years in power

00:17:55.520 Effectively Blairite, Brownite, leftist economic theory

00:18:01.940 it ends with more taxes but but spending cuts eventually you run out of other people's money

00:18:09.540 tax more but you'll get less right manage decline

00:18:14.660 mismanage the whole thing disastrously oh here's an interesting so do you remember so probably

00:18:21.760 might not a lot of you might not remember years ago now what was it like 2019 was it

00:18:27.820 Quite a few years ago now, a bunch of Barclays traders were convicted for rigging LIBOR, which is like one of the exchanges, isn't it?

00:18:44.100 Anyway, they were convicted of basically rigging of various sets of ways things are measured.

00:18:53.480 And it seemed to be a slam-dunk case at the time

00:18:57.560 Well, they were convicted

00:18:59.560 And have remained in jail, I believe, since then

00:19:02.940 But the Court of Appeal has decided that they didn't do it

00:19:07.400 And their convictions have been quashed

00:19:11.600 So I guess they've just let out

00:19:15.100 And won't have a criminal record and stuff

00:19:16.720 It's entirely quashed

00:19:17.740 all right i can't remember all the details of it i followed it a bit at the time i can't

00:19:28.020 remember all the details of it okay the daily telegraph daily telegraph we're ready for the

00:19:43.980 Fire. Yeah, most people...

00:19:48.980 I don't...

00:19:51.980 Andrew Alley has compared arrest to police treatment of Lord Britain.

00:19:57.980 It's a blast from the past.

00:19:59.980 They're basically saying it's just unfair.

00:20:01.980 It's just unfair that Andrew was ever hauled before the police

00:20:05.980 or asked to answer questions.

00:20:08.980 Yeah, his friends are saying that.

00:20:10.980 They would, wouldn't they?

00:20:13.300 Burnham ready to raise tariffs on China to get closer to EU.

00:20:17.460 Odd.

00:20:18.820 Kind of odd.

00:20:22.700 Burnham has to choose.

00:20:24.260 Imagine that in Burnham's mind.

00:20:26.100 He's got to choose between trying to get closer to the EU and appeasing Labour Party,

00:20:33.340 the left of the Labour Party, who always hated leaving the EU and want to do that.

00:20:37.580 And then the other wing of the Labour Party, I'm sure there's a big overlap

00:20:41.080 Of those that love China

00:20:43.500 And want to get close to China 0.78

00:20:44.560 China's real communist isn't it

00:20:46.820 A lot of the Labour Party are Fabians 0.93

00:20:49.820 In other words

00:20:52.540 To be a Fabian

00:20:53.380 Really quite hardline leftists

00:20:56.200 Communists really

00:20:58.520 But just

00:21:00.020 Pretending they're not that hard left

00:21:02.180 That's what Fabianism is

00:21:03.360 To all intents and purposes

00:21:05.120 We'll just tone it all down in public

00:21:08.040 But we're all Fabians right

00:21:09.580 Wink wink nudge nudge

00:21:10.660 We are actually basically Trotskyites or whatever

00:21:14.380 Marxist, Leninist, whatever

00:21:17.300 But we're Fabians so we'll pretend we're just

00:21:19.800 We'll pretend we're just in favour of labour movements

00:21:25.960 And unions and stuff

00:21:27.880 But actually we're really hard-line 1.00

00:21:29.340 Okay, so those types of people will love China

00:21:32.260 China is an example to them

00:21:34.120 Of how communism can be a success on some level

00:21:37.780 Even though, as me and Firas talked about on the podcast last week

00:21:43.080 Is the modern Chinese state all that communist anymore?

00:21:47.240 I would argue that in lots of senses they are

00:21:49.940 But to be fair to Firas and what he was saying

00:21:53.820 In many, many ways, they're not communist at all, are they?

00:21:56.920 In many, many ways, particularly economically

00:21:59.460 Marx and or Lenin would be turning in their grave 0.99

00:22:04.500 If they saw how the Chinese economy is run

00:22:06.420 like you're not doing it right that's not right even Mao would be like what

00:22:10.420 you're doing still in lots of other senses if nothing else in the fact

00:22:14.060 they're a single-party state anyway anyway you imagine in the mind of

00:22:18.420 Burnham and the people around him trying to balance how much they're cucked to 0.97

00:22:22.560 the EU and China oh we need to balance how cucked we are to them both gross 0.68

00:22:29.160 okay we're to come suspect targeted for Raj home so that guy that murdered and 0.89

00:22:35.580 Widdicombe probably will have to wait for the trial I mean it almost certainly

00:22:39.600 was him wasn't it but he hasn't been convicted yet when almost certainly when

00:22:47.040 he gets convicted that guy that murdered Ann Widdicombe apparently also

00:22:51.840 definitely also targeted Farage's home what a psycho absolute cycle it damaged

00:23:00.960 The details are apparently he damaged Nigel's front door.

00:23:04.900 Nigel's got more than one front door, by the way.

00:23:07.340 He's got more than one property, hasn't he?

00:23:08.540 But anyway, he damaged the front door in some way.

00:23:11.540 We haven't got the details of exactly how.

00:23:14.460 And also there was a bottle of, I think, lighter fluid or something left at the scene.

00:23:19.280 Perhaps he was disturbed during whatever he was doing.

00:23:23.000 Was he trying to squirt lighter fluid through the letterbox or something?

00:23:26.060 Trying to burn the place down.

00:23:27.200 Anyway

00:23:28.980 When that happened

00:23:30.660 That happened like a while ago

00:23:31.780 I don't know

00:23:32.160 A year or two ago

00:23:33.360 A while ago

00:23:33.960 It wasn't immediately

00:23:35.760 Before the Anne Whittacombe incident

00:23:37.140 And the police investigated it

00:23:38.980 At the time

00:23:39.460 But

00:23:39.720 The case went cold

00:23:41.720 They weren't able to catch him

00:23:43.620 Well now

00:23:45.220 They have sort of

00:23:46.120 Formally linked it to him

00:23:47.280 And charged him with it

00:23:50.120 On top of the Whittacombe murder

00:23:52.300 Same guy 0.98

00:23:53.520 Absolute psycho 0.97

00:23:57.080 well that's what you get if you buy into not just leftist propaganda

00:24:02.660 but the notion that you're impeccably correct

00:24:08.560 that's what dogma often does

00:24:12.920 that what you're doing and thinking and saying is not only correct and true

00:24:19.160 but it cannot be wrong then you at that point

00:24:24.700 and you're dogmatic about something anything really when there's no shred of doubt you find

00:24:32.880 yourself you can find yourself doing bizarre and insane things and you've completely justified it

00:24:41.300 to yourself in your own mind madness that way madness lies okay boots the chemist has been

00:24:50.400 sold for seven billion pounds to Primark family, a super wealthy Canadian family that already

00:24:56.940 owned Primark. They've bought Boots, Boots the chemist. Anyone who's not British might

00:25:02.880 not know, like what's that? They're like the main high street pharmacist in Britain.

00:25:09.340 Goes back a long, long way. Goes back to the Victorian period, doesn't it? Boots the chemist.

00:25:13.640 A staple of our high street, one of the few things left.

00:25:20.400 Most people get most of their, what, like, toiletries or certainly medicines and things from Boots.

00:25:31.220 It's just called Boots now for years, for decades and decades it used to be called Boots the Chemist.

00:25:36.620 Anyway, it's now been sold.

00:25:38.380 Seven billion?

00:25:39.620 Doesn't even seem that much considering they're the length and breadth of this country.

00:25:44.220 The main pharmacy, isn't it?

00:25:46.860 Okay, it's now been sold to a Canadian family, right.

00:25:50.400 Well, let's just hope they don't asset-strip it and walk away, I guess.

00:25:56.660 Just fingers crossed for that.

00:26:00.920 All right, the times, the venerable times.

00:26:05.840 Tories will make you better off, will they?

00:26:09.160 Will they? 0.99

00:26:12.720 Look, here's some absolutely amoral, disgusting, pro-Islamic, pro-Gaza people. 1.00

00:26:20.400 Glory to our martyrs, they say, with a Palestinian flag 0.96

00:26:25.400 This was at the University of Glasgow, but there were protests and things in London

00:26:31.400 All over the place, all over the place

00:26:33.400 Yesterday, that is, this is an image captured yesterday

00:26:39.400 October the 7th

00:26:41.400 Could choose any day to try and talk about, raise awareness for Palestine 0.65

00:26:48.400 Palestine, but they chose October the 7th 1.00

00:26:51.760 Of course they did 1.00

00:26:53.120 Absolutely disgusting, shameless 1.00

00:27:00.080 Are these people Palestinian? Are any of them really Palestinian? 1.00

00:27:03.840 Is this person or this person a Palestinian? 0.99

00:27:07.360 Do they know what they're doing really? Do they know what they're saying? 1.00

00:27:10.880 Do they know their ass from their elbow or is it just virtue signalling? 0.99

00:27:18.400 Right. Israel to close UK consulate as relationship hits new low. Oh well. Close it then. Fine. I just don't care. Why do we need a consulate in Jerusalem anyway? Really? Really? No. Close it. Do your worst. Don't care. 1.00

00:27:36.160 Oh no, oh no, pearl clutching, hand wringing

00:27:43.120 Oh no, soul searching

00:27:44.780 Israel's going to close the consulate in Jerusalem

00:27:47.420 So what?

00:27:50.960 Good, then, if you need to

00:27:53.920 Earlier in the week, or was it last week, there was talk that

00:27:57.280 We might expel a whole bunch of their diplomats in return in a tit-for-tat

00:28:01.560 Cold War era, Soviet era style, tit-for-tat diplomacy thing

00:28:05.480 But news coming out today is that we're not going to do that

00:28:09.020 We're not going to do that

00:28:11.240 They're going to close the consulate in Jerusalem

00:28:13.220 And we're not going to expel any of their diplomats that are here

00:28:16.480 Okay

00:28:18.640 Daily pill could be biggest Parkinson's breakthrough since 1960s

00:28:25.280 Good, that's good, isn't it?

00:28:28.720 Parkinson's disease, terrible, terrible thing

00:28:31.200 Absolutely devastating thing

00:28:33.140 The wonders of modern medical science are remarkable

00:28:37.020 That is one thing AI could be very good for

00:28:39.780 Breakthroughs in medical science

00:28:42.740 Could be

00:28:44.140 Parkinson's disease, terrible thing

00:28:49.020 Alright

00:28:49.520 The Daily Mirror, pure slop 1.00

00:28:52.200 Sloppy Joes from wall to wall 1.00

00:28:55.020 They know how us kids like them nice and sloppy 1.00

00:28:58.300 Also, Labour Party

00:29:02.460 organ, Labour Party propaganda

00:29:04.960 mouthpiece, and their Farage

00:29:06.660 derangement syndrome is off the charts.

00:29:09.140 Oh look, they've gone with Nigel again today.

00:29:10.940 Again. They go with Nigel

00:29:12.880 almost most days, don't they?

00:29:15.020 Even if he's not really in the news, even if other

00:29:16.920 papers aren't really talking about him much.

00:29:20.860 They've got, he lives,

00:29:22.840 the senior people at the Mirror,

00:29:25.340 Nigel lives in their

00:29:26.780 psyche rent-free, doesn't he?

00:29:30.160 They're obsessed,

00:29:31.060 Absolutely obsessed with him

00:29:32.460 Farage party whitewash

00:29:35.440 Reform not dodgy

00:29:36.840 Says reform

00:29:37.920 Internal investigation into donation Ralph Fiennes

00:29:41.260 Wait for it

00:29:41.980 No rules broken

00:29:43.260 So what this was

00:29:44.360 Do you remember

00:29:45.040 A little while ago

00:29:46.340 A few weeks ago wasn't it

00:29:48.460 Channel 4 News

00:29:50.020 Arch lefties

00:29:50.920 Channel 4 News

00:29:52.500 Did a sort of a sting operation

00:29:54.940 Sort of undercover sting thing

00:29:57.660 Against reform

00:29:59.420 you know trying to catch them taking dodgy donations they pretend to be like that like

00:30:07.660 the sun it always had a fake shake do you remember the sun's fake shake catch people

00:30:12.920 with a lapel camera or whatever and a mic get people to admit to dodgy stuff in hotel rooms

00:30:19.660 because they thought they were talking to an ultra rich shake okay they did a thing like that

00:30:23.500 but this time they were supposed to be some sort of ultra rich american family

00:30:26.380 wanted to give reform tons of money and they caught a couple of reform people um what was it

00:30:32.840 what was the guy's name well it was james or was one of them and the other one was um can't remember

00:30:38.360 oh dan dukes who's a very very close aide to nigel apparently and they caught them right on

00:30:44.140 the cusp of saying something dodgy or not just to be fair just put my cards on the table i don't

00:30:50.320 think they did anything wrong did they the likes of dan dukes and james or i don't think they did

00:30:55.420 actually do anything wrong, did they? Anyway, I think there's a parliamentary investigation

00:31:01.100 into it, but Reform did their own investigation into it. I think they suspended Dan Jiggs,

00:31:08.120 they certainly sort of suspended James Orr, who was like head of policy. James Orr was

00:31:12.260 like quite an important person in Reform. I think he came to Lotus Eaters once. I think

00:31:15.520 Connor Tomlinson ages ago had him an interview on Lotus Eaters, James Orr. I think he's

00:31:20.900 like one of the much more serious guys, James Orr. I'm not going to throw any shade at him.

00:31:27.640 I think he was head of policy. Anyway, reform suspended him whilst they did their internal

00:31:32.120 investigation. They finished their internal investigation and found that no rules were

00:31:37.840 broken. Okay. Now, anyone who despises reform would, of course, just characterise that as a

00:31:45.880 whitewash, even if it isn't. That's what the Mirror's done. Well, that's what the Mirror's

00:31:49.460 has gone ahead and done. I don't know if Reform's internal investigation is a whitewash or not.

00:31:55.560 It might be slightly more towards the whitewash end of the spectrum. Why wouldn't it be?

00:32:02.460 But there's no reason to believe it is, exactly. I guess we'll see if there's a third-party

00:32:09.660 external investigation. Will that be a whitewash at the other end of the spectrum, convicting

00:32:16.060 reform, not criminally convicting, but convicting them in the eyes of the public, of having

00:32:22.460 done any wrongdoing, of James Orr and Dan Dukes having done anything truly wrong. It's

00:32:30.820 all a bit, he said, she said, it's all a bit. The Daily Mirror acts like a bitchy 13-year-old 1.00

00:32:40.440 girl in the playground, isn't it? That's really what it is. Like a very, very petty, bitchy 0.99

00:32:51.200 girl. That's what the mirror is with regards to Nigel and Reform anyway. Wouldn't give 1.00

00:32:58.840 them the tiniest amount of credit ever under any circumstances. Just out to get them. Just

00:33:05.080 smear after smear after smear after smear. The tiniest little cheek. I've always thought

00:33:09.680 that's pathetic when you've got political enemies you've picked a side you've got you want to get 0.99

00:33:18.240 involved in party politics and then what you do is you become ultra petty and bitchy the tiniest 0.99

00:33:24.440 little tiny chink of armor in your in your opponents whether it's whether it's really a 0.99

00:33:28.620 chink or not you can just try and make the argument that it is and you just go after that 1.00

00:33:32.760 Just peck at it 1.00

00:33:34.420 That's so lame

00:33:38.480 That's all the mirror does really

00:33:41.020 Doesn't it

00:33:41.500 I don't think

00:33:44.760 From the footage I saw

00:33:46.040 And the amount I've read around it

00:33:48.820 I don't think Dan Dukes or James Orr

00:33:51.160 Did do anything wrong

00:33:52.160 I don't think

00:33:53.980 In this instance at least

00:33:55.540 I don't think they did accept any of that money 1.00

00:33:58.260 From these American people 1.00

00:33:59.420 These fake American people 1.00

00:34:00.680 So 1.00

00:34:01.300 You're allowed to sit down and have a conversation

00:34:07.660 With someone about money they might give you

00:34:10.020 You're allowed to do that aren't you

00:34:13.380 I don't think they did take any money from them

00:34:16.340 So

00:34:16.600 I mean at worst

00:34:20.860 As far as I can tell

00:34:22.520 From everything I've read around it

00:34:24.060 As far as I can tell

00:34:26.140 The worst you could say

00:34:27.140 Is that Dan Jukes and or James Orr

00:34:30.680 Flirted with the idea that they might think about taking some money.

00:34:34.980 That's it. That's as far as it went.

00:34:38.000 I mean, maybe not. It's that, isn't it?

00:34:40.320 It's basically that, if you've seen the clips.

00:34:43.420 But they didn't, so...

00:34:45.700 Well, I hope James Orr, and, you know, I'm not pro-reform.

00:34:50.040 We're restore partisans here at Loadseaters.

00:34:52.880 I hope James Orr gets his position back.

00:34:54.580 I hope Nigel and the senior people at Reform

00:34:57.320 completely exonerate James Orr

00:34:59.940 and he can continue doing his thing.

00:35:04.380 What?

00:35:05.960 The eye paper. 1.00

00:35:07.400 Something about the Nigerian anchor baby again. 1.00

00:35:15.660 Okay. 1.00

00:35:16.860 Young people should get ADHD help 1.00

00:35:19.280 even without diagnosis,

00:35:21.020 major report will find.

00:35:23.380 Why?

00:35:23.740 Why would you give people without ADHD,

00:35:25.420 you might not have ADHD,

00:35:26.540 ADHD help.

00:35:29.780 Okay, full review is expected to be published within days as school and health trusts seek

00:35:36.400 clarity on how they should ration support.

00:35:39.680 A report into rising mental health diagnoses is expected to find that young people should

00:35:47.040 not be left on long NHS waiting lists before accessing support.

00:35:51.580 is set to recommend earlier intervention for school pupils and less reliance on GP appointments

00:35:58.040 in major shift towards community-based help. What does that, what does all of that really mean?

00:36:02.780 Look, have you got a mental health issue, ADHD, or not? Surely you have to, surely you have to

00:36:08.920 find that out first. Otherwise, you'll be giving, you'll be spending money and resources

00:36:18.700 on people that don't even need it or don't require it.

00:36:23.980 It's like you're just going to blanket diagnose a whole generation.

00:36:28.660 The whole, every kid has got ADHD.

00:36:30.840 Is that what you're going to say?

00:36:33.760 Apart from anything else, it's terrible for the kids

00:36:36.640 that have genuinely got a bad case of ADHD

00:36:39.400 that need help and support and resources.

00:36:42.360 Aren't they getting lost in all of this?

00:36:46.240 The genuine cases.

00:36:48.700 okay just one more weird thing in our uh in our society i think historians will look back on

00:37:01.120 what happened in the 2010s the 2020s when there was this rash of all sorts of weird things like

00:37:09.420 whole half a generation of young people claiming they're they're gay and then a few years later

00:37:15.620 saying, oh actually no we're not, suddenly a giant spike in the number of people claiming

00:37:20.440 to be non-binary. A giant spike in young people claiming to have ADHD. Only for a few years

00:37:30.600 later for that trend to fall off a cliff again. What was that? What was that? What was going

00:37:38.220 on there what explains that weird all right the guardian

00:37:54.780 go away the guardian 1.00

00:37:57.340 Filthy, filthy 0.99

00:38:03.260 If you read The Guardian regularly 0.97

00:38:06.960 It's the paper you choose

00:38:08.000 What's wrong with you?

00:38:09.620 What's wrong with you?

00:38:24.700 Your mind is being subverted 0.97

00:38:27.040 Perverted 0.99

00:38:28.100 Inverted 0.98

00:38:29.220 It's filth

00:38:30.660 Wake up

00:38:32.160 Special education overhaul

00:38:36.340 Under threat

00:38:36.960 Amid surging applications

00:38:38.400 Alright

00:38:38.700 Some rugby dude

00:38:40.920 Who did loads of work

00:38:42.020 For charity

00:38:44.120 Gets knighted

00:38:44.960 Don't care really

00:38:46.620 Christina Pike awake 0.91

00:38:48.360 After botched execution 1.00

00:38:49.740 That's that disgusting 0.99

00:38:50.920 Murderer in America 1.00

00:38:52.000 Christina Pike 0.99

00:38:52.800 Who tortured and murdered 0.99

00:38:53.900 Some other girl

00:38:54.980 For no real reason 1.00

00:38:56.340 they injected her twice with the lethal injection it didn't work 1.00

00:39:00.340 she beat it she beat the lethal injection twice two-time champ 0.83

00:39:06.020 apparently she's come round they didn't expect her to come round at one point a few days ago

00:39:11.940 they thought she'd probably be brain dead her heart's working but she'd be brain dead no she's

00:39:16.180 come around she's talking she's got a loss of memory apparently her arms or at least the arm

00:39:21.600 where they put the injection in is all buggered up there's something wrong with her arms

00:39:25.720 but she's not dead and she's conscious and talking and stuff

00:39:29.840 okay could it have been botched anymore yeah botched botched execution yeah big time

00:39:37.120 i've always thought if you are going to execute people i've always thought

00:39:42.800 the quicker the better the less contrived the better the less sort of elaborate it is

00:39:51.020 the better good old-fashioned hanging get a get a professional hangman knows how to do the noose

00:39:58.180 properly get the right drop so it snaps your neck instantly so you're not left there dangling

00:40:03.440 not too long of a drop so your head actually pops off that happens that can happen didn't that

00:40:09.520 happen to chemical alley one of saddam hussein's henchmen the drop was too long and it popped his

00:40:15.100 head off. Not that, but long enough so it snaps your neck and you instantly lose consciousness

00:40:20.880 and die. You're not just left there dangling. A proper hanging. Very, very quick. Instantaneous

00:40:28.640 if it's done correctly. You don't need someone to hang on your legs and pull down. Or being

00:40:36.920 shot. A firing squad. Pretty quick, isn't it? I've always thought like the electric 0.98

00:40:41.960 chair or the gas chamber. They still have the gas chamber in a fair few states, I believe.

00:40:47.140 Or the lethal injection. It's too elaborate. That's why the guillotine was quite good,

00:40:52.000 wasn't it? The guillotine. You're not going to survive that, are you? It's going to be

00:40:57.520 quick. In fact, so quick, the guillotine, sometimes the head that falls into the basket 0.63

00:41:03.240 is sort of still conscious for a few seconds. The mouth's still moving while it's saying

00:41:08.220 a prayer. The eye's still rolling around. I don't know if you'd be conscious, but still.

00:41:11.960 You don't immediately, it's that quick, the oxygen, the blood and the oxygen is still

00:41:19.020 pumping around your head whilst it's severed, briefly, very briefly.

00:41:26.100 You can't beat a proper hanging, I would say. 0.97

00:41:30.460 All right, what else have we got?

00:41:33.040 The Guardian complaining that a higher profile Labour exile guy left the country.

00:41:38.820 The star, pure slop

00:41:42.020 Talk about that rugby dude who got knighted

00:41:44.300 Okay

00:41:45.180 Something about Katie Price

00:41:46.740 Ex-hubby trial sensation

00:41:48.440 I just don't care, I don't care about Katie Price

00:41:50.400 What she does or says or anything at all

00:41:52.100 The sun, an outrage headline

00:41:53.960 Offender's state paid house

00:41:56.160 Dingy pervert given free house 1.00

00:41:58.660 Sex crime on kids 1.00

00:42:00.440 Days after getting keys

00:42:02.080 Right

00:42:08.820 Do you volunteer for Care for Calais?

00:42:14.820 Do you advocate for, are you part of Stand Up to Racism?

00:42:21.300 Are you?

00:42:22.660 You'll hold up a placard saying, refugees, welcome here. 1.00

00:42:26.720 Don't care if they really are refugees.

00:42:31.260 What do you think when you see things like this?

00:42:33.800 What goes through your mind?

00:42:35.260 Anything?

00:42:35.540 you justify it yourself as oh well there's only one bad egg among many

00:42:40.780 is it you look at the statistics the per capita rate of crime organized crime violent crime and

00:42:48.580 sex crime among these people what do you think when you see those figures

00:42:52.380 that you'll still go out on the street with your purple hair and your dungarees or whatever 1.00

00:42:58.920 Refugees, welcome here 1.00

00:43:01.960 Sick 1.00

00:43:05.500 Sick in the head 1.00

00:43:06.820 You've got something profoundly wrong with your reasoning 1.00

00:43:10.180 So this guy

00:43:12.760 Attacked a cop

00:43:14.040 He came over on a dinghy

00:43:16.000 An illegal invasion 1.00

00:43:17.820 He was allowed into the general population

00:43:20.000 He attacked a cop

00:43:20.880 After that

00:43:23.120 He was given a house

00:43:25.800 He paid for

00:43:28.600 A home

00:43:29.620 Within a couple of days

00:43:31.440 Of him getting out of jail

00:43:32.920 From attacking a cop

00:43:34.000 He broke into the house

00:43:36.260 He broke into

00:43:37.620 Someone else's house

00:43:38.980 In Cardiff

00:43:39.720 And like

00:43:40.880 Exposed himself

00:43:41.820 To some little girls

00:43:42.780 A couple of little girls

00:43:43.500 Something like that

00:43:44.620 Alright

00:43:47.000 Alright

00:43:51.160 It's difficult to come

00:43:53.420 To the conclusion

00:43:54.040 His name's Mohammed

00:43:55.240 Mohammed Abbas

00:43:57.380 So it's difficult to escape the conclusion 0.99

00:44:02.700 That he came here in order to do that

00:44:05.260 One of his main motivations of coming here 0.93

00:44:10.120 Was in order to commit sex crimes 0.97

00:44:12.640 Against our women and children 1.00

00:44:13.960 That's one 0.91

00:44:16.440 That would be one of the overriding motivations

00:44:18.820 For him to be here

00:44:19.860 Will he get deported

00:44:23.280 Or will there be a lawyer

00:44:24.660 Claiming that for whatever reason

00:44:26.420 it would be against his human rights for him to be sent back to his country of origin.

00:44:36.660 For me, that would be capital punishment. How can you ever trust a monster like that 0.98

00:44:42.020 ever again? How could you? Well, it's a bit draconian. He didn't actually

00:44:48.180 rape them or murder them. Don't care. Don't care. This is a monster, a beast man, 0.99

00:44:56.420 In medieval or ancient times, 100% death penalty for something like that, 100%.

00:45:03.420 The people that have advocated for us to be flooded by these people have got a lot of questions to answer. 1.00

00:45:12.420 Those that still advocate it, advocate for more of them, are out of their goddamn mind. 1.00

00:45:20.420 They're the enemies of our women and children, the safety of this country. 1.00

00:45:26.420 all right there you go that's the front pages

00:45:31.160 should we check in with the price of oil we do that on this show about this time of the show

00:45:37.060 don't we let's have a look what's the price of crude on the open market right now about the

00:45:40.200 same as it was yesterday a shade higher rent trading just below 103 dollars west texas about

00:45:47.340 $90. Remarkable, isn't it? Really, remarkable. My rights could be $150 a barrel, $200 a barrel,

00:45:56.820 all-time hires. Nope. Only 10%, what, 15% higher than when the war in Iran started.

00:46:06.960 Remarkable. Doesn't really translate into what we pay at the pump, though, does it?

00:46:11.680 Oh, all right. Let's have a look at our poll. Should we have a look at our poll?

00:46:14.120 We'll do that this time of the day

00:46:15.940 Alright, let's see what we've got

00:46:18.160 Let's see what we've got

00:46:19.780 Harry, you need to bring that up on my screen for me

00:46:21.340 Alright, just shy of a thousand votes

00:46:24.080 We asked you guys

00:46:25.540 Do you care that Israel has closed the British Consulate in Jerusalem?

00:46:30.740 And the no's have it 0.97

00:46:32.120 A cool 82% of you

00:46:34.380 Saying no, you don't care

00:46:35.740 18% do care

00:46:37.800 18% are worried about it

00:46:39.980 UK-Israeli relations at an all-time low

00:46:44.640 82% say no 0.95

00:46:48.780 Good, right, yeah

00:46:49.480 Obviously the correct answer

00:46:50.480 Why would we care?

00:46:51.380 What does it matter?

00:46:53.680 Do they help us out much?

00:46:56.420 What do we get from our

00:46:57.780 What do we actually get from our relationship with Israel?

00:47:03.460 Oh wait 0.95

00:47:04.100 How's it in our interest?

00:47:07.040 Oh wait

00:47:07.440 Or SodaStream

00:47:09.820 yeah all right okay all right all right let's move on to on this day in history it's nearly

00:47:17.380 10 to let's have a look see what have we got i quite like doing this bit you quite guys quite

00:47:22.460 like doing this bit um on this day in history the 8th of october

00:47:27.960 down through the centuries name the millennia what happened of now

00:47:32.740 right we've got oh the great stand on the ugra river this is the ruskies versus the mongols isn't

00:47:40.620 it yeah on this day in 1480 the great stand on the ugra river or the battle of ugra

00:47:47.680 much for battle actually it was more of a standoff um between forces of the archmat khan

00:47:54.160 khan of the great horde not the golden horde the great horde and ivan the third grand prince of all

00:48:01.360 Rus' and the Grand

00:48:03.420 Duchy of Moscow 1.00

00:48:04.080 ends with a Tatar-Mongol retreat 0.74

00:48:07.560 leading to the disintegration

00:48:09.420 of the Horde. Yeah, so we're way

00:48:11.400 past the higher watermark of

00:48:12.980 Mongolian incursions into Europe, or

00:48:15.220 Russia even. I mean, Russia as we

00:48:17.360 know it didn't exist back then. You've got

00:48:19.280 the Grand Duchy of

00:48:21.280 Moscow

00:48:23.180 and the rulers of Novgorod

00:48:25.580 and things. Do you think I've got long

00:48:27.420 form content with apostolic majesty, a true

00:48:29.320 proper genius, proper

00:48:30.860 a proper historian apostolic majesty talking all about the history of russia and ukraine or the

00:48:38.700 part of the world we now call russia and ukraine going back to the 8th century 7th 8th century

00:48:45.620 on bodade's epochs behind the paywall on loadseaters.com there's long-form content

00:48:51.500 talking all about that and right back to the beginning almost the kiev and rus all that sort

00:48:57.100 stuff it is behind the paywall because it's five pound a month bronze team membership you can get

00:49:03.220 that yeah sometimes people say beau doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to russia

00:49:09.180 and ukraine i probably know more than you probably know the history better than you do

00:49:14.200 some karen oh doesn't boat should talk about ukraine he doesn't know what he's talking about

00:49:19.420 probably no more than you let's talk about the kid let's talk about the eighth ninth century

00:49:24.940 Kieven Ruse, shall we? Let's talk about the Golden Horde, shall we? Oh, you don't know anything about

00:49:28.900 that. All right, okay. Anyway, the Great Horde is nothing to do, well, it's the rump, it's really

00:49:35.220 the rump of the Golden Horde. I mean, we're in the late 15th century here. It's the early 13th

00:49:41.580 century. It's a high watermark of like Jochi, Jochi the son, or is it adopted son, stepson of Genghis

00:49:50.320 khan jochi khan and the golden hold sweeping through what's today modern day russia that's

00:49:57.600 like the early 13th century so by the late 15th century you've already had tamerlane timur the

00:50:05.120 lame all that's happened the goal the great hold is really just a rump of the golden hold

00:50:12.000 they're much more south the great hold they're more in like crimea region

00:50:16.000 and the high watermark of the mongol invasions is just over they tried to they tried to extort

00:50:24.360 money from i was going to say the czar it's not the czar from the grand prince of of the ruse

00:50:31.300 he said no and they're like right we'll invade you then he's like go on then they had to stand

00:50:36.140 off at this river there was some sort of small engagement but it wasn't a large set piece battle 0.81

00:50:39.940 the mongols were waiting for reinforcements that never came in the end they retreated 0.95

00:50:43.840 Russia stood up to them chin up chest out the Mongols retreated and okay by the 0.83

00:50:51.820 late 15th century it's the the Mongols are on the downward trend certainly 0.94

00:50:58.960 interesting point in history though an important turning point in history okay

00:51:02.260 on this day in 1769 Captain James Cook think I've got long-form content all

00:51:05.800 about James Cook more than one episode a few hours fair few hours talking about

00:51:08.960 Captain Cook we're in conversation with Luca Johnson actually was it a two or

00:51:13.000 Was it a three-part series or was it even a four-part series?

00:51:16.000 I think it was a good four or five hours talking about James Cook with Luca.

00:51:23.000 On this day, Captain James Cook lands in New Zealand for the first time near present-day Gisborne

00:51:28.000 on the east coast of the North Island.

00:51:31.000 A misunderstanding, possibly over a ceremonial challenge, 0.99

00:51:34.000 causes the English to shoot and kill one of their leaders. 0.99

00:51:37.000 I won't even attempt the name. 1.00

00:51:39.000 Well there you go. Of course, James Cook came to a sticky end himself, didn't he? Unfortunately.

00:51:51.000 Alright, if you want long film content, you want me and Luca Johnson in conversation for

00:51:55.120 hours now as a short audio book level of detail about it. An incredible life, the adventures

00:52:00.220 of Captain James Cook. Alright, on this day in 1856, the Second Opium War or Second Anglo-Chinese

00:52:07.520 War begins with the Arrow incident on the Pearl River. On my other channel, I've got

00:52:19.160 History Bro. I talk all about the Opium Wars. In my 18-part series about Mao Zedong, the 0.85

00:52:31.060 first few episodes of that, I'm just setting up the scene, what late 19th century China

00:52:35.760 was and was all about i talked about the opium wars there in the second opium war and there's

00:52:42.400 no paywall on history bro as well you can just go over to youtube check that out it's up to that

00:52:46.820 this isn't real right this isn't he says i've got a hundred thousand subs i haven't harry's

00:52:51.820 just digitally made this i haven't got a hundred thousand subs it'd be nice if i did though all

00:52:56.460 right must be honest like bo claiming the uh what is it uh stolen valor is claiming a hundred

00:53:05.340 thousand subs he hasn't got a hundred thousand subs yeah i know i know that's that's like some

00:53:09.540 sort of joke that's ironic anyway this content long-form content of me talking about the

00:53:15.320 the arrow is a is a ship a ship called the arrow something to do with the actual bow and arrow

00:53:21.120 and it was like registered as british in hong kong but the chinese the chinese like boarded it

00:53:28.980 chinese authorities boarded it and then arrested a bunch of the chinese sailors on there and called

00:53:34.480 them pirates. Maybe they were, I mean, it depends how you look at it. Call them pirates in the

00:53:38.200 British, right? You can't do that. They're effectively British sailors. You can't do that.

00:53:43.340 The Chinese are like, we've done it. And the British are like, well, we'll go to war with 0.98

00:53:45.940 you over that. We're not having that. And round and round we go. All right, there's much more to

00:53:52.720 that. Look it up in your own time if you're so interested. Okay, the Great Fire of Chicago on

00:53:57.320 this day in 1871. The Great Chicago Fire kills an estimated 300 people and destroys over four

00:54:03.900 square miles, that's 10 square kilometres of buildings and the original Emancipation

00:54:09.540 Proclamation. Yeah, unfortunate. Yeah. I'm not being sarcastic there either. Not like,

00:54:16.380 oh, unfortunate. No, it is really bad. Surprising that more people died, really. Even in the

00:54:23.020 late 19th century, a lot of buildings were made of wood, particularly in the United States,

00:54:27.260 actually. Much less so in most European countries but still. Still. Yeah. Shame. Not being sarcastic.

00:54:39.260 On this day in 1915 the Battle of Luz ends as German forces contain the British attack resulting

00:54:44.940 85,000 casualties. Yeah the Battle of Luz is Britain's big offensive in 1915. The biggest and

00:54:53.340 worst battle to that point in World War I. Well, the Battle of Frontiers was much, much

00:54:58.760 worse for the French, but as far as the British were concerned. The thing that happened in

00:55:03.960 World War I, one trend is every time there's another big offensive, another big battle

00:55:07.700 or set of battles, it's just worse than the last one. So up to that point, the Battle

00:55:12.600 of Luz was the most devastating, terrible thing. I mean, I wouldn't say it pales in

00:55:19.160 in comparison to some of the big stuff

00:55:21.560 that went down in 1916, 1917,

00:55:23.640 but it's just on a smaller scale,

00:55:24.880 but nonetheless, nonetheless, horrific,

00:56:38.860 W. Bush announces the establishment of the Office of Homeland Security. Yeah, anyone

00:56:44.100 who's young, like Azuma, might think, oh, Homeland Security, what, that goes back to

00:56:54.700 George W. Bush, after the 9-11, the Patriot Act. Do you know, most congressmen didn't

00:57:01.380 even read the Patriot Act. Yeah.

01:01:22.160 For you

01:01:22.540 Using our

01:01:24.800 Sort of inherent

01:01:25.780 Niceness

01:01:37.720 Okay

01:01:39.500 The next two

01:01:40.300 Three

01:01:40.700 Four

01:01:41.300 Five

01:01:42.160 The next five

01:01:43.560 Are all acid helm

01:01:45.040 For a buck a piece

01:01:46.420 So I'll just read them

01:01:47.160 All in one go

01:01:47.600 If you don't mind

01:01:48.040 You put

01:01:48.460 Morning bone

01:01:49.060 Morning

01:01:50.420 hope you're feeling better now cheers i am basically fine maybe not 100 but basically fine

01:01:55.580 i am well also good didn't sleep great but oh well got a couple war facts for today and another

01:02:03.760 church history fact in honor of reverend church history oh thank you acid acid helm keeping up

01:02:09.000 the end okay and your fact words are this on this day in 1941 joseph starlin ordered the deployment

01:02:16.180 of three female flying regiments one of which was the 588th night bomber regiment nicknamed

01:02:22.740 the night witches for their stealthy attacks yeah it's a great little bit of history that

01:02:26.520 what they would do they're quite often really old planes they give the women pilots

01:02:29.920 sort of the old almost like world war one era 1920s era sort of bioplanes what they would do 0.94

01:02:36.600 is they would fly higher well not really high altitude but they fly higher and then they'd

01:02:43.580 turn their engines off and the plane becomes effectively a glider a silent glider and then

01:02:49.980 they'd swoop down over a german trench or whatever a german position almost silently at night no

01:02:56.980 lights and and drop a bomb and then of course turn on the engine at the last minute and try and bug 0.89

01:03:04.300 out yeah completely that's terrifying isn't it the night witches that's what the germans called

01:03:10.980 them dubbed them i believe an interesting little little corner of history there yeah okay the next

01:03:17.880 one he says on the 8th of october 1918 during the muse muse are gone offensive corporal alvin york

01:03:25.960 went on to be a sergeant didn't he sergeant york famously took command after his 17-man patrol

01:03:32.140 suffered heavy casualties a great sniper sergeant york right one of the all-time greats um just

01:03:39.180 eight uninjured Americans captured 132 German soldiers yeah there's quite a few stories like

01:03:45.600 that right notice it's right at the end of the war right October 1918

01:03:51.020 so it's not long before the end of the war morale in the German ranks has completely collapsed so

01:03:58.240 you get a fair few examples the Americans and British and French like just a few guys will

01:04:04.240 capture dozens or hundreds of the enemy it was because they just they just want to surrender

01:04:09.240 really it's because you've had the great kaiser schacht the the king's battle the emperor's

01:04:16.000 battle the kaiser's battle in 1918 the german massive last offensive to see if they can finally

01:04:23.340 break through to paris and end the war and win the war on the western front and it failed

01:04:28.260 By the 8th of October or whatever

01:04:31.360 1918, that had failed

01:04:32.560 The writing was on the wall

01:04:34.380 In terms of just who was going to have

01:04:36.760 Battlefield success on the Western Front

01:04:38.900 And so, morale amongst the Germans

01:04:41.380 Largely had collapsed

01:04:42.360 And so you get 8 Americans

01:04:44.100 Capturing 132 Germans

01:04:45.780 Still, still 1.00

01:04:48.060 Not trying to detract from that achievement

01:04:52.120 But

01:04:52.820 Would they have been able to do that

01:04:55.720 In like 1915?

01:04:58.260 I know the Americans weren't there by that point.

01:05:00.520 Stopped tipping the fedora. 0.97

01:05:01.920 I know.

01:05:03.780 Still fascinating.

01:05:05.080 And Sergeant York, or Corporal Alvin York, as he was there.

01:05:07.820 He's a very, very interesting person in his life.

01:05:12.240 All right.

01:05:12.860 The acid helm again says,

01:05:14.480 On the 8th of October 1918,

01:05:16.980 the American Lost Battalion was rescued after six days

01:05:20.480 surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest.

01:05:23.480 Of roughly 550 soldiers, fewer than 200 emerged unharmed.

01:05:27.340 yeah that's another classic story brilliant fascinating story sad story of the american

01:05:33.200 exploits in world war one right at the end of world war one the lost battalion of course wasn't

01:05:39.240 entirely lost just as acid helm tells us there um yeah all sorts of stuff bellow wood all sorts

01:05:45.780 of stuff the americans did right at the end of world war one fascinating fascinating stuff

01:05:50.100 right the next one last one from acid helm says on this day in 451 ad the fourth ecumenical council

01:05:57.180 began at Chalcedon, near Istanbul, or Constantinople. Chalcedon, isn't that? Just on the other

01:06:04.400 side of the Bosphorus. So right there still, in Byzantium. Around 500 bishops gathered 0.99

01:06:10.560 to settle a major theological dispute, affirming that Jesus Christ is both fully divine and

01:06:17.040 fully human.

01:06:17.760 okay okay

01:06:24.800 people will never disagree about that ever again i'm sure

01:06:32.480 it got settled at the fourth ecumenical council of chalcedon

01:06:37.300 in 451 everyone's agreed now sure about that all right tom rat 247 says 0.60

01:06:45.620 You might be at home being a Christian

01:06:48.240 How is that possible? 0.97

01:06:49.480 How could he be both fully divine and fully human?

01:06:54.160 Yeah, yeah, no

01:06:54.900 Your puzzlement is valid

01:06:58.160 Alright, TomRat247 says

01:07:00.960 Wanted to send last comment as chat

01:07:03.420 Kemi's point becomes moot in a

01:07:07.020 Heinleinist democracy 0.96

01:07:09.780 I know you like your Heinleinism

01:07:11.700 Earn your vote by fighting for Britain 1.00

01:07:15.060 or building its next generation out of British stock. 1.00

01:07:17.740 Simples.

01:07:20.720 Yeah.

01:07:23.020 Yeah, it is Simples, yeah.

01:07:26.100 Next one, Buzz All Gin.

01:07:28.920 Like all the drink gin, all gin.

01:07:32.160 Buzz All Gin says,

01:07:34.440 it seems that for the majority of these party conferences,

01:07:37.440 Restore Aside,

01:07:39.840 they learn, they lured it up about how magnificent it is

01:07:43.700 that they will take away politics that they will take away policies that they implement

01:07:49.720 in the first place but yeah i've always thought party conferences were um

01:07:55.740 odd i mean they're sort of in a way they're sort of necessary especially for a smaller party

01:08:02.620 they sort of do serve a purpose but for the big parties where it's just one long exercise in

01:08:09.560 patting themselves on the back one long exercise in sycophancy from the lower orders and the

01:08:16.860 members to the senior to the senior leadership ew just find it a bit weird and gross

01:08:22.800 all right um jeffrey farnell says watch a bow right mate um i've not commented for a while

01:08:34.740 i'm currently deep in enemy territory living in france oh careful it's good to have a taste of

01:08:41.340 home by watching hashtag the real lbc bo's breakfast club don't you forget about me

01:08:46.120 nice thank you thank you for tuning in appreciate it it'd be nice if anyone's feeling homesick and

01:08:53.460 they watch this they get a dose of just a normal englishman being normal thanks appreciate it

01:09:00.760 Okay, there's still quite a few more rumble rants.

01:09:03.320 Acid Helm again says,

01:09:04.180 On this day in 1871, the Great Chicago Fire...

01:09:06.940 Oh, okay, we already had that one.

01:09:08.820 But you put, the Great Chicago Fire killed 300 people,

01:09:11.660 while the Peshtigo Fire killed over 1,200 on the very same night.

01:09:18.020 Historians have yet to establish Eamon Holmes' whereabouts.

01:09:21.860 Get well soon, Ames.

01:09:23.200 That's just a silly in-joke.

01:09:25.380 In all seriousness, I hope Eamon Holmes...

01:09:27.360 I wish him all the best.

01:09:28.940 Get well soon, Ames.

01:09:30.760 okay next one rigid sock for badger says for executions i disagree on it needing to be quick

01:09:41.020 fair enough i think it requires the most certainty of outcome i'm for quartering

01:09:48.400 god okay well that would would do it wouldn't it if you're looking for certainty

01:09:53.340 That should do it

01:09:56.780 Good old fashioned quartering

01:09:59.580 Alright, Acid Helm again says

01:10:00.980 I'm for the opinion 0.99

01:10:02.640 That sex criminals should be flogged severely 0.99

01:10:05.140 Then just before they pass out 1.00

01:10:06.840 Boom, shot of adrenaline

01:10:08.560 Then slowly let feet first

01:10:10.980 Through a wood chipper

01:10:11.920 Okay

01:10:14.400 I mean

01:10:15.060 Okay

01:10:17.280 I can't really comment much further on that

01:10:19.620 Because of T's and C's 1.00

01:10:23.340 Okay

01:10:26.900 Merrick Mel says

01:10:30.680 Trump's dithering on US diesel exports

01:10:33.660 Leads to this

01:10:34.560 Europe turns to Indian refined diesel instead

01:10:38.000 India also has the world's biggest refinery

01:10:40.460 So moves like this only increase our dependence

01:10:43.860 Fair point

01:10:45.340 I mean yeah fair point

01:10:46.620 Yeah I do feel that the Trump administration's

01:10:53.140 Threats of

01:10:54.700 They were only threats as well

01:10:57.080 I don't think he's actually done it

01:10:58.020 To stop particularly diesel exports

01:11:00.820 It's not sort of in anyone's interest

01:11:03.420 That I can see

01:11:04.120 Alright

01:11:07.460 And the last rumble rant here

01:11:09.780 From Fortean Barber says

01:11:10.900 Morning mate alright

01:11:11.720 Yeah I'm alright

01:11:12.480 Are you?

01:11:13.100 And then you've put

01:11:13.600 I'm alright

01:11:14.260 Good

01:11:15.380 I've been thinking about rebuilding

01:11:17.820 Bob Monk's house compendium of jokes

01:11:20.000 Here's an oldie

01:11:24.100 What's brown and rings like a bell? 0.98

01:11:27.340 Dung!

01:11:31.380 I was a fan of Bob Monkhouse. 1.00

01:11:33.400 Anyone who's too young or foreign, 0.95

01:11:35.560 like, who's Bob Monkhouse? 0.69

01:11:37.140 What's Bob Monkhouse's compendium of church?

01:11:39.120 Bob Monkhouse was a very, very famous comedian in Britain

01:11:42.060 from going way back.

01:11:44.000 It was as early as the 1950s he first came on scene,

01:11:47.180 certainly by the 60s and all through the 70s and 80s and 90s.

01:11:49.540 He lived to be very old.

01:11:50.340 he was just a tv presenter and host and comedian and he told i suppose what you today you might

01:11:58.900 call dad jokes he just told one largely one-liners dad joke after dad joke after dad joke and he was

01:12:06.120 the master of it bob monkhouse pretty wholesome case you're a tiny bit blue but pretty wholesome

01:12:11.360 really bob monkhouse and apparently he had this book this great big book of with collected jokes

01:12:17.940 one-liners over the years over the decades that's a classic one what's brown and rings like a bell

01:12:25.160 dung yeah classic monkhouse joke bob monkhouse joke r.i.p bob monkhouse hope he's in a better

01:12:32.180 place all right let's do the youtube ones harry you need to bring that up on my screen for me

01:12:37.240 could you engage make it so boom there they are all right i've only got three is that right

01:12:45.240 I think that's the fewest I've ever seen.

01:12:48.780 Well, we had loads of rumble rants.

01:12:51.980 Way more rumble rants than I've ever seen,

01:12:53.900 and way less YouTube ones than I've ever seen.

01:12:56.900 I think there's a correlation there.

01:12:58.820 People just switching,

01:12:59.720 they don't want to give the 30% to YouTube.

01:13:02.240 I respect that, if that's what's going on here.

01:13:05.140 Okay.
