00:00:51.960 the united kingdom northern ireland and her overseas territories have a new government

00:00:58.440 this is the news what does the uh legacy corporate lamestream media want to try and beam directly

00:01:06.780 into your brain box there what's that the power of evil fleet street editors

00:01:09.660 banging on about well it's wall to wall the new government as you can imagine

00:01:13.540 of course it is all right burnham era begins and king kev yeah kevin keegan died

00:01:19.120 Anyone who's foreign or not old enough

00:01:21.560 Might not know Kevin Keegan 0.95

00:01:23.480 But anyone who is old enough will know

00:01:25.500 Kevin Keegan, look this guy here

00:01:27.400 Is a football player and a football manager

00:01:29.820 A legend

00:01:31.560 Played for Liverpool

00:01:34.760 For years, played for all sorts of teams

00:01:37.920 Was the manager of Newcastle

00:01:40.180 More than once wasn't it

00:01:41.760 Certainly for a while

00:01:43.620 When they nearly beat Man United

00:01:46.000 One year

00:01:46.720 He did an epic rant

00:01:49.140 For Alex Ferguson

00:01:50.460 And I would love it if we beat them

00:01:52.900 I tell you that honestly

00:01:54.720 I would love it if we beat them

00:01:55.940 Kevin Keegan, oh and England of course

00:01:57.560 And an England legend

00:01:59.300 Kevin Keegan

00:02:00.920 Was he England manager? God my memory's

00:02:04.460 Phoning me, was he England manager?

00:02:06.140 I think he was wasn't he for a little bit?

00:02:07.320 Anyway, absolute legend

00:02:09.860 And he's passed away, he had cancer

00:02:11.780 And he's passed away so that's on the front pages a bit

00:02:13.740 Rest in peace Kev

00:02:16.300 he was a great player he really was he really was one of the best to ever do it all right let's get

00:02:22.260 back to um let's get back to the government so who's in who's out not i don't think the entire

00:02:30.560 cabinet has been appointed yet because cabinets these days are actually quite big bigger than

00:02:36.200 they used to be back in like decades and decades ago anyway we've still got we've got most of them

00:02:40.700 the big offices have been have been filled so first of all to say then who's out because all

00:02:46.300 the papers go with who's in there's not too much on the front pages anyway about who's out Lamy is out

00:02:54.220 Lamy is my Kang most affected and who doesn't know what the hell i'm talking about

00:03:00.060 it's just a superfan that's in my chat most days whose handle is Lamy is my Kang

00:03:04.940 He's most affected

00:03:08.560 When we did a poll one time

00:03:10.780 Asking who would you want to be leader after Starmer

00:03:14.060 And you guys

00:03:15.480 Trolling really

00:03:17.500 Said you wanted Lammy

00:03:18.500 Well he's out, he's gone

00:03:19.880 He's nowhere near government anymore

00:03:21.000 He's merely an MP

00:03:22.400 Just a backbencher now

00:03:24.000 Hopefully he'll never get near power

00:03:28.000 Ever, ever, ever again

00:03:29.380 What a mistake that was

00:03:32.980 What an embarrassment 1.00

00:03:34.360 I honestly think he might be clinically retarded 1.00

00:03:38.720 Did you ever see his performance on Celebrity Mastermind? 1.00

00:03:44.680 It's like quite a clever child would have done better than him

00:03:49.280 Like a precocious nine-year-old would have done better than he did

00:03:53.100 Honestly, honestly

00:03:54.280 Very, very, very simple questions 1.00

00:03:58.060 I think he might be clinically retarded 1.00

00:04:02.480 Alright, Lamb is out 1.00

00:04:03.720 rachel reeves rachel thieves rachel from account that idiot karen somehow convinced keir starmer 0.99

00:04:12.000 that she's an economist she's out good riddance bye bye into the dust benefit you get have a 0.99

00:04:19.140 little boo about it have a little about if you need to but get lost now you've done your bit

00:04:26.020 in the leftist agenda to ruin our country you've done your bit rachel well done yeah well done

00:04:30.700 Off you go

00:04:31.520 Lord Herma

00:04:33.140 Lord Herma's out

00:04:34.380 If you haven't guessed the pattern

00:04:35.860 These are all Starmer Ultras

00:04:38.120 Ultra Loyalists to Starmer

00:04:40.500 All these people

00:04:40.900 Lord Herma's out

00:04:41.700 Good 0.99

00:04:42.580 Another disgusting human being 1.00

00:04:45.200 Doing everything in his power 0.99

00:04:48.000 To give away the Chagos Islands 0.94

00:04:49.480 And prosecute SAS people

00:04:50.800 For doing their job

00:04:51.640 Lord Herma

00:04:54.320 Yeah, off you go now

00:04:55.440 Totter off

00:04:56.400 Well, Steve Reed

00:04:58.580 Steve Reed

00:05:00.260 He was just a complete lickspittle, wasn't he? 0.87

00:05:04.720 He was just a boot-licking supplicant to Keir Starmer, wasn't he?

00:05:09.740 So he's gone, good.

00:05:10.800 Burnham has decided to get rid of, you know, the arch Starmerites,

00:05:14.520 which obviously makes sense, of course. 0.99

00:05:16.700 Well, there's one or two still left in there.

00:05:18.280 Pat McFadden's still in there.

00:05:20.320 Shall we get into who's in then?

00:05:22.120 Let's quickly read the blurb on the front page of the higher paper.

00:05:26.180 It's probably about the best you get from Fleet Street on any given day.

00:05:28.440 That's Burnham's wife 1.00

00:05:30.020 Who used to actually be quite pretty 0.99

00:05:31.300 She looks a bit haggard now 1.00

00:05:32.320 She looks like a witch now 1.00

00:05:33.160 But she used to be pretty 1.00

00:05:33.900 When she was young 1.00

00:05:34.500 Burnham era begins

00:05:38.280 With radical pledge

00:05:39.400 To transform UK

00:05:40.480 Okay

00:05:41.320 Andy Burnham becomes

00:05:43.280 UK's seventh prime minister

00:05:44.480 In a decade

00:05:45.080 And vows to end the churn 0.99

00:05:47.100 It requires my generation

00:05:50.320 Of politicians

00:05:50.940 To raise our game

00:05:51.960 We have not been good enough

00:05:53.060 Classic bit of rhetoric

00:05:58.660 Where you concede something

00:06:00.660 In order to seem fair minded

00:06:03.080 And reasonable

00:06:05.060 And all that sort of thing

00:06:06.040 Classic

00:06:07.000 Goes back to sort of

00:06:09.120 Plato's dialogues and things

00:06:10.500 Oh I concede this, this and this to you

00:06:12.520 But

00:06:13.820 Here's my crappy flawed argument

00:06:16.580 On top of that though 0.63

00:06:17.500 Aren't I reasonable

00:06:18.400 Yeah, yeah

00:06:20.680 Your generation of MPs

00:06:22.220 Haven't been good enough

00:06:23.680 We're supposed to believe you will now

00:06:26.900 Of course not

00:06:27.600 You've got the weird student politics 1.00

00:06:30.900 Of a moron 1.00

00:06:31.820 Mass sacking of Starmer's cabinet 1.00

00:06:35.000 There was ten in all

00:06:36.040 And Rachel Reeves and David Lammy

00:06:38.520 Among ten fired

00:06:39.500 New help on cost of living

00:06:42.580 Expected to include energy bill caps

00:06:45.340 I don't want to pay more for my energy

00:06:49.360 But when the government just put caps on things

00:06:51.480 Do you still have to pay for it?

00:06:57.460 Do you still have to pay for it?

00:07:01.080 Just comes out of everyone's taxes

00:07:03.160 Bus fare limits

00:07:06.140 Again, do you still have to pay for it?

00:07:08.080 The bus fare will be the amount it is for a reason

00:07:10.900 Not just because bus companies

00:07:14.000 Although they do have to turn a profit

00:07:15.260 Not just because they're evil 19th century capitalists

00:07:19.540 There'll be a reason why

00:07:21.480 The bus fare is what it is

00:07:23.860 In order to make the whole system work

00:07:27.920 But okay

00:07:30.780 You're going to put limits on that

00:07:32.480 This stuff never works out all of history

00:07:34.060 And rent freezes, terrible

00:07:35.700 Terrible

00:07:37.840 Again, not because I want

00:07:39.820 People that are struggling

00:07:41.220 To struggle even more with paying their rent

00:07:43.600 That's not what this is about

00:07:44.680 It's about that you will destroy the equilibrium of the market

00:07:50.860 It doesn't work

00:07:57.160 Putting caps on prices and or wages

00:08:01.840 Has never worked through all of human history

00:08:04.760 I don't know how many times leftists have to do this experiment

00:08:07.780 For it to fail

00:08:08.760 I don't know how many times 1.00

00:08:10.900 Is he stupid? 1.00

00:08:12.440 Does he not know anything about history 1.00

00:08:15.780 Economic history

00:08:16.720 He's talking about the 70s 1.00

00:08:19.020 He came out and he did his stupid little speech 1.00

00:08:21.520 Little two minute, five minute speech 1.00

00:08:23.860 In front of parliament

00:08:25.320 Without a lectern

00:08:26.140 So new and progressive

00:08:27.400 It was not

00:08:30.060 It was just a string of platitudes

00:08:31.420 No detail, again

00:08:32.540 Just he wants to give hope to people

00:08:34.560 And he was moaning about the 80s and Thatcher, again

00:08:37.240 Bro

00:08:40.220 It's 30, 40 years ago 0.72

00:08:42.740 The problem with Britain was Thatcher

00:08:47.580 The problem with Britain now

00:08:48.940 Was Thatcher 40 years ago

00:08:51.100 Really? Really

00:08:54.160 What a cretin 0.99

00:08:59.360 And what we need is rent freezes 0.99

00:09:01.920 Okay

00:09:02.280 He says he's just going to abolish homelessness

00:09:06.100 Rough sleeping

00:09:07.940 Really?

00:09:10.220 He just said it, not only details about how he's going to do that.

00:09:12.900 He just said, I'm going to go into number 10 now.

00:09:15.440 The first thing I'm going to do is end rough sleeping.

00:09:19.020 Okay, see you then, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Andy, Andy, and.

00:09:24.540 What do you mean?

00:09:25.940 How are you going to do that?

00:09:26.900 What does that mean?

00:09:27.800 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:09:29.780 Well, all the rough sleepers, you're going to prioritise the white British native ones first, though, yeah, right? 1.00

00:09:37.200 Ones that may have served in the military, do them ones first, yeah? 0.99

00:09:40.220 What do you mean abolish rough sleep 1.00

00:09:44.540 Well the thousands and thousands and thousands of foreign people that come here 1.00

00:09:48.540 The boat people that come here 1.00

00:09:49.800 Eventually they can't be given a hotel and there's no council housing for them 1.00

00:09:53.440 So they just sleep in tents 1.00

00:09:54.940 In a lot of the big cities

00:09:56.300 There's just these tent enclaves 1.00

00:10:00.280 Because there's millions too many people in this country

00:10:04.900 And nowhere near enough housing for them

00:10:07.440 So they sleep in tents or just sleep rough

00:10:09.620 You're just going to end that

00:10:11.340 What do you mean

00:10:13.040 You're not going to close the borders 1.00

00:10:14.940 Start re-migrating people 0.99

00:10:16.480 He doesn't say 1.00

00:10:18.700 It's just a hollow platter

00:10:20.940 He ended rough sleeping in Manchester

00:10:23.560 Don't you know

00:10:24.160 He didn't

00:10:24.760 That's what he says

00:10:26.540 What I did in Manchester was so good

00:10:28.400 We're going to do that all across the country

00:10:29.580 For example

00:10:30.260 I ended rough sleeping in Manchester

00:10:32.620 No you didn't

00:10:33.980 He's going to claim he did though

00:10:36.320 And that it will do the same thing for the whole of Britain

00:10:39.180 Because he needs to get all the answers 0.98

00:10:40.400 Just liars and nonsense 0.98

00:10:44.080 How are you going to end rough sleeping 0.99

00:10:49.260 When thousands and thousands and thousands

00:10:51.440 Hundreds of thousands of people

00:10:52.900 A year new come in

00:10:54.360 And there's no housing for them

00:10:55.420 It really does seem to have a simplistic

00:11:03.500 Mind, a simplistic view

00:11:06.020 Of reality

00:11:07.380 Starmer was a robot, wasn't he?

00:11:11.840 A robot of a man

00:11:12.820 Oddly robotic

00:11:16.760 And transactional

00:11:18.040 Starmer's not that, is he?

00:11:20.680 He's more personable

00:11:21.600 He is a bit more charismatic

00:11:22.840 He seems to me

00:11:25.160 Childlike

00:11:26.220 As I keep saying

00:11:27.280 Like a student

00:11:28.500 The mind of a first year undergrad

00:11:30.820 No massive disrespect to first year undergrad

00:11:37.240 some are brilliant people most of them aren't no I wasn't particularly

00:11:43.680 the reason why I reference that why I say that is it's not it the classic first year undergrad

00:11:51.040 cliche is that you're high on your own intellectual supplier you think you know everything oh I've got

00:11:57.100 quite good a-levels I'm going to a university I know everything about the world now I've read

00:12:02.580 eight books i know everything that's the cliche right um that's what i feel like he is all right

00:12:15.540 burnham looking at tax cut to lower for lower earners and pensioners and raising 12 000 7 570

00:12:24.780 pound tax-free allowance again like in and of itself fine good but it's twiddling around the

00:12:31.000 edges of things, isn't it? Again, moving the deck chairs on the Titanic

00:12:34.540 a couple of mil, isn't it?

00:12:38.980 I thought you were talking about radical change. No.

00:12:42.900 We just increased the tax-free allowance a little bit.

00:12:49.020 The most radical change in

00:12:50.860 40 years. We're going to cap bus fares.

00:12:55.580 It's pathetic. He's got no sternum, has he? No sternum burnum. 0.99

00:12:58.780 This isn't a man of will and power, is it?

00:13:05.560 This is a little boy

00:13:07.200 LARPing as a leader

00:13:10.220 Most radical change in 40 years

00:13:13.900 Yeah, right

00:13:14.760 Except you've brought back loads of Blairites 0.99

00:13:17.620 We'll talk about the cabinet in a minute

00:13:19.920 Who's actually in

00:13:21.620 Return a 50p income tax for higher earners

00:13:26.840 Is one option to pay for it

00:13:28.580 For lowering taxes 0.99

00:13:29.860 On pensioners 0.74

00:13:32.000 And it's not ruled out by the PM

00:13:36.100 50p income tax

00:13:37.560 I mean 50%

00:13:39.840 When they say that

00:13:42.280 50p income tax

00:13:43.840 50p income tax

00:13:44.940 We're going to do 50p

00:13:45.740 50p income tax

00:13:46.660 50p

00:13:47.100 You might think

00:13:48.840 Oh 50p

00:13:49.780 That's not much

00:13:50.440 What's

00:13:51.040 50p

00:13:52.160 50p on the pound

00:13:53.640 So

00:13:55.140 50%

00:13:56.840 They just, the way they try and spin it, people who don't pay any attention, don't really understand, don't really go, 50% tax on income tax, if you earn, what is it, over 150 grand or something.

00:14:10.600 If you're a high earner, half of your income is taxed, half.

00:14:15.380 Historically, through all of human civilisation, we've never ever been, well, we had it a little while back in the early 2000s, but before then.

00:14:24.200 The idea of charging people half of everything they earn

00:14:28.040 The state just take that

00:14:31.840 De rigueur

00:14:32.880 As a matter of course

00:14:33.900 Insane

00:14:36.180 That's not how humans have lived

00:14:37.560 For most of their civilisation

00:14:39.000 The vast majority of their civilisation

00:14:41.420 Try and make you think it's 50p

00:14:45.440 50p income tax

00:14:47.180 This is what leftists are though

00:14:50.360 Just tax you and tax you and tax you

00:14:52.000 Until there's no rich people left

00:14:53.240 Then tax the middle class until they're in penury

00:14:56.500 And then tax everyone else until people starve 0.90

00:14:59.020 That's all they know, that's all they can do

00:15:03.940 He hints at tax rise to pay for social care

00:15:08.580 Saying, conversation with public needed on cost of old age

00:15:12.660 Tax rises

00:15:17.620 But won't cut spending, won't dream of cutting spending

00:15:21.000 In fact, increase foreign aid

00:15:22.380 Won't cut welfare bills in any way

00:15:27.060 Just increase taxes

00:15:29.300 There's no talk of decreasing spending

00:15:34.240 Maybe he will have to

00:15:36.140 We'll see

00:15:37.140 We still don't know

00:15:38.760 He said today he would come out with his plan

00:15:42.900 His 10 year plan

00:15:43.900 Of what it really is

00:15:45.960 It will need to be quite a thick document in my opinion

00:15:50.700 A 10 year plan

00:15:52.920 If it's just endless passage or it just doesn't do it

00:15:55.140 Just doesn't come out with it today

00:15:57.180 And days and weeks start ticking by

00:15:59.260 The whole summer ticks by

00:16:00.380 Wouldn't be surprised if that happens

00:16:02.260 When it does come out though

00:16:05.100 I imagine it will just be pinko filth 1.00

00:16:07.440 Pinko nonsense

00:16:08.300 Just tax and tax and tax and tax 0.99

00:16:11.060 Give loads of money away to 1.00

00:16:13.060 Foreign people and foreign countries 1.00

00:16:15.120 Open the borders 1.00

00:16:16.760 More safe and legal routes 1.00

00:16:18.000 Anything and everything that's not in the interest of the native white Brits 0.99

00:16:22.700 That's what it will be 0.89

00:16:24.480 After taking office, his first instruction to civil servants

00:16:31.040 Was demand an end to rough sleeping

00:16:33.240 See, what does that mean?

00:16:35.320 The thousands and thousands of tent cities we've got

00:16:38.320 In the cities, in our cities

00:16:40.760 Little tent enclaves 0.96

00:16:42.000 The civil server is just demand that civil servants end it

00:16:48.000 He's living in cloud cuckoo land, sir

00:16:54.140 Okay 0.72

00:16:58.680 More young people must work instead of claiming benefits, he says 0.99

00:17:02.100 Promising mental health help

00:17:04.500 I mean, the principle of that is good, isn't it?

00:17:11.040 He's going to bring hope to people

00:17:14.340 Hope in every postcode, isn't it?

00:17:15.800 Hope in every heart or something

00:17:16.900 Classic Obama

00:17:18.760 In fact one of his chief political strategists

00:17:21.500 Was a guy, the hope not hate guy

00:17:23.220 That worked with Obama in 2012

00:17:26.900 The audacity of hope

00:17:29.120 Don't imagine them sitting around going

00:17:32.160 What are our buzzwords?

00:17:33.820 What's our message?

00:17:36.020 What's the political spin for this government?

00:17:39.320 What are we going to do?

00:17:40.360 What are we going to try and ram down people's throats?

00:17:42.760 Hope

00:17:43.120 It worked for Obama

00:17:44.220 Use the word hope

00:17:45.500 Don't worry about that you're speedrunning the country off a cliff edge

00:17:49.380 Don't worry about that

00:17:50.160 Just say hope

00:17:51.560 Hope in every postcode

00:17:54.460 That's got a good ring to it

00:17:55.480 Don't you think Andy?

00:17:56.320 Yeah, yeah, that's got a good ring to it

00:17:57.720 Hope, yeah

00:17:58.460 Worked for Obama, didn't it?

00:18:00.740 Yeah, yeah

00:18:01.500 PM vows to be prudent on UK finances

00:18:09.720 And stick to the rules

00:18:11.360 While finding flex for bolder policies

00:18:14.340 Again, it's just an empty bag of words, isn't it?

00:18:20.040 What do you mean?

00:18:21.760 How have you got to number 10 and not really published any documents, the detail of your policies?

00:18:30.000 I will be prudent with the finances.

00:18:32.260 Okay, but what do you mean?

00:18:33.920 In what way?

00:18:35.320 We'll stick to the rules.

00:18:36.120 Yeah, you're not above the law.

00:18:37.940 What are you talking about?

00:18:39.440 Well, finding flex for broader policies.

00:18:44.340 What does that mean, though? 0.99

00:18:51.820 This is a clown. 0.99

00:18:54.920 This is a clown. 1.00

00:18:57.740 Let's have a look who's in his government. 0.99

00:18:59.520 All the big picks, anyway.

00:19:01.440 Who's in Andy Burnham's cabinet?

00:19:03.960 I feel like I want to do it in descending order.

00:19:06.040 Sorry, ascending order.

00:19:07.420 Let's do it in ascending order.

00:19:09.420 What have we got?

00:19:10.080 What have we got?

00:19:11.820 Matthew Penny Cook as housing minister.

00:19:13.460 He already was the housing minister

00:19:14.660 He seems like an empty shirt of a man

00:19:16.520 Just a nothing sycophant

00:19:17.880 Party sycophant

00:19:18.680 Kanishka Harion

00:19:20.920 Kanishka One More Fish Harion

00:19:23.900 As AI minister 1.00

00:19:26.000 I don't want foreign people in my government 1.00

00:19:28.660 Hamish Falconer 1.00

00:19:32.000 The son of Lord Falconer

00:19:34.800 The Lord Falconer

00:19:35.880 Tony Blair's ex-roommate

00:19:37.840 Who was Attorney General during the Iraq War

00:19:40.660 When Tony Blair said

00:19:42.560 Is it legal just to start invading and bombing Iraq

00:19:47.300 Without a very, very clear mandate from the UN

00:19:49.760 And Lord Falconer goes

00:19:50.800 Let me consult the books

00:19:52.340 Yes it is

00:19:53.680 His son

00:19:57.420 His son's Minister for Intergovernmental Relations

00:20:00.660 Okay

00:20:02.560 Baroness Smith 1.00

00:20:05.180 She's been around for yonks 1.00

00:20:06.620 She's a despicable Blair 1.00

00:20:08.960 She's been around forever since the beginning 1.00

00:20:11.420 Since the beginning

00:20:12.120 Alan Campbell also been around from the beginning

00:20:16.120 Like a Blairite thing, leader of the commons

00:20:18.940 So it's the sort of role you give to someone that is

00:20:22.120 You know, a party stalwart who's been there forever

00:20:26.700 Ellie Reeves as the Attorney General 1.00

00:20:29.180 That's Rachel Reeves' sister, if you didn't know 0.97

00:20:32.040 As the Attorney General 0.98

00:20:34.820 The most senior law person essentially 0.96

00:20:42.120 Annalise Midgley, don't know too much about her, I've seen her before, but I don't know a great deal about what she's like as a person 0.98

00:20:52.340 Other than, she's a massive trade unionist 1.00

00:20:54.620 Proper, proper red 0.98

00:20:56.600 Proper red

00:20:57.580 I think she worked for trade unions before she was an MP and stuff

00:21:01.660 As red as it gets

00:21:03.040 Chief Whip, she's going to tell all the other MPs what they've got to do 1.00

00:21:06.220 She's got her work cut out for her 0.98

00:21:07.700 I wouldn't want to be Labour chief whip

00:21:11.960 To be perfectly honest

00:21:13.060 Right now

00:21:14.160 If anyone doesn't know about the whip system 0.78

00:21:18.980 Just real quick 1.00

00:21:19.460 It's her job 1.00

00:21:20.480 When the government 0.56

00:21:21.020 When Andy Burnham wants to do something in parliament

00:21:23.080 Wants to get a bill through

00:21:24.640 An act of parliament through

00:21:25.800 He needs most of his MPs to vote with him

00:21:29.620 With their own party

00:21:30.860 Should be simplicity nearly every time

00:21:34.100 Should be unless it's something really really divisive

00:21:37.180 should always do it

00:21:38.880 but that's not what Labour's like these days, is it?

00:21:41.100 The left of the party

00:21:42.060 playing power games constantly

00:21:44.740 won't necessarily vote with their own government

00:21:47.500 with their own leadership

00:21:48.560 it's the whip's job

00:21:50.200 to make them do it

00:21:52.460 to threaten them

00:21:55.980 politically, politically 1.00

00:21:57.480 she's not going to go around and start 1.00

00:21:58.540 she's got knuckle dusters 1.00

00:21:59.780 going to start busting people's cheekbones 1.00

00:22:02.820 if they don't vote 0.93

00:22:03.520 threatening them politically

00:22:06.280 Or cajoling them in various ways

00:22:09.940 Coercing them

00:22:10.760 Offering the carrots and sticks

00:22:13.100 Sort of a thing

00:22:13.700 She's got her work cut out for her 1.00

00:22:16.280 Tell you

00:22:16.720 A lot of them won't do what

00:22:19.320 The government and Burnham want

00:22:20.980 A lot of them

00:22:21.920 Are you supposed to be like a fixer

00:22:26.060 A bit of a bruiser

00:22:26.860 Again politically

00:22:27.620 Not physically

00:22:28.740 A bit of a bruiser politically

00:22:30.200 Bring that back up for us Harry

00:22:31.820 So we can see these people

00:22:33.360 She's

00:22:33.940 Is she like

00:22:35.820 Feared

00:22:37.840 On the Labour back benches

00:22:39.500 She respected and feared

00:22:42.560 Probably not

00:22:46.940 Probably not enough

00:22:48.140 Well that's interesting

00:22:51.040 I thought Andy Burnham said he was going to

00:22:53.120 Abolish the whip system when he's in charge

00:22:55.600 Well not abolish it but just

00:22:56.760 Every party will be

00:22:58.600 Every vote will be a free vote

00:23:00.500 The old way of doing things

00:23:02.920 The whipping system won't really use

00:23:04.980 Well, he has at least appointed a chief whip

00:23:07.400 Maybe you have to

00:23:09.160 Maybe you have to

00:23:10.340 Alright, Emma Reynolds

00:23:12.960 The physiognomy never lies, does it? 1.00

00:23:16.800 A hawk-faced communist cretin 1.00

00:23:19.000 This is a cavalcade of traitors and subversives 1.00

00:23:24.640 And socialist filth 0.98

00:23:28.420 Stephen Kinnock, that's Neil Kinnock's son

00:23:31.440 The Lord Kinnock's son

00:23:33.020 Arch Remainer

00:23:34.500 Arch Globalist

00:23:35.500 Douglas Alexander

00:23:38.360 Now he's been around forever as well

00:23:40.420 He's an old Blairite dude

00:23:42.500 That's what Burnham's doing here

00:23:44.860 He's got rid of 10 or so 1.00

00:23:46.340 Starmerites 0.82

00:23:47.380 Bringing in his own friends

00:23:49.160 And a bunch of people from the Blair years

00:23:50.800 The dregs

00:23:52.640 The bottom of Blair's barrel

00:23:54.240 The dregs of it

00:23:55.340 Get Dougie Alexander in

00:23:57.780 Yeah

00:23:58.600 Remember Dougie

00:23:59.720 Chris Bryant

00:24:04.140 These two

00:24:04.640 Look at these two

00:24:05.520 Chris Bryant

00:24:06.860 And Angela Eagle

00:24:07.980 Really 1.00

00:24:08.480 Two insane people 0.99

00:24:10.980 These two people are insane 1.00

00:24:12.360 In my opinion 1.00

00:24:13.080 Chris Bryant

00:24:14.240 If you ever go on

00:24:14.740 Chris Bryant's Twitter account

00:24:15.900 It is mad

00:24:17.420 It's sort of mad

00:24:19.720 Everything

00:24:20.660 Every woke angle

00:24:22.120 You can imagine

00:24:22.760 Everything that's like

00:24:24.180 Not in our interests

00:24:25.240 As a nation

00:24:26.280 As a people

00:24:26.800 You can imagine

00:24:27.700 Every time

00:24:29.620 That's Chris Bryant, that's who Chris Bryant is 1.00

00:24:31.680 Like the Greens 0.93

00:24:35.080 Everything where you think 0.91

00:24:37.560 How does that help the country

00:24:39.540 How does that help people

00:24:40.460 How does that help us, the native indigenous people

00:24:44.020 How does that help us

00:24:46.960 How is that in our interest

00:24:47.980 Every time, Chris Bryant's mad

00:24:50.260 Mad, in my opinion

00:24:52.100 Angela Eagle, not much different

00:24:53.960 And she's at the Environment, Environment Secretary

00:24:55.600 Net Zero, the whole nine yards

00:24:57.860 Again, look at the eyes

00:24:58.760 Look at the eyes, look at the eyes

00:25:00.940 Not around the eyes, look into the eyes 1.00

00:25:02.520 Mad, mad old witch of a woman 1.00

00:25:05.280 This is our government 1.00

00:25:08.800 These are Burnham's picks

00:25:10.780 Remember the Prime Minister's got the power of patronage

00:25:14.720 He can pick whoever he wants

00:25:16.000 He's picking people like Chris Bryant and Angela Eagle

00:25:20.040 Oh sorry, I thought it was going to be

00:25:24.560 The most radical change in 40 years

00:25:26.680 I thought he was trying to bring hope to people, Andy.

00:25:30.000 No, you get Chris Bryant and Angela Eagle

00:25:31.760 and Stephen Kinnock and Douglas Alexander.

00:25:35.260 That's what you get.

00:25:37.880 Oh, all right.

00:25:39.920 I thought he was going to get change and hope.

00:25:44.500 No, okay, all right. 1.00

00:25:49.280 Heidi Alexander is a disgusting slob. 1.00

00:25:52.380 She's actually my MP. 1.00

00:25:54.780 Where I'm sitting right here, Swindon South.

00:25:56.680 She's the MP.

00:25:58.060 Never see her.

00:25:59.040 Never, ever, ever see her.

00:26:00.380 She's too important now.

00:26:01.120 She's the Transport Secretary.

00:26:03.000 She's been the Transport Secretary for a while

00:26:04.320 because the last one had to leave government because of scandal.

00:26:08.060 But yeah, she's like a... 1.00

00:26:09.620 She's the whole rainbow lanyard thing.

00:26:12.080 Globalists never, ever, ever talk about immigration, ever. 1.00

00:26:15.820 And a physically disgusting jab at the hut. 0.99

00:26:20.220 Slob.

00:26:24.040 Alex Norris at Justice Secretary. 0.72

00:26:25.860 Again, look at the physiognomy 0.93

00:26:26.820 This is a weak, weak, weak man 0.51

00:26:28.520 Super weak 0.98

00:26:31.120 You would want someone as your Justice Secretary 0.90

00:26:35.200 Who's like some sort of

00:26:37.860 Some sort of Martinet

00:26:41.520 You want someone that's

00:26:43.600 A will of iron

00:26:46.460 Someone that knows their own mind

00:26:49.520 And will not deviate from it

00:26:52.960 A man of conviction

00:26:54.660 Yeah, no, Alex Norris

00:26:57.960 There you go, Alex Norris 1.00

00:26:59.140 Hillsbury Doughboy, idiot 1.00

00:27:02.100 Alex Norris, that's what you get 1.00

00:27:03.720 Look at this

00:27:06.120 Isn't this just a gang 1.00

00:27:09.860 Of idiots and subversives 1.00

00:27:11.920 The energy secretary 1.00

00:27:14.140 Is a

00:27:16.060 Liberian woman

00:27:17.420 Miata Farnbula

00:27:20.440 Oh, communist as well, Marxist 0.98

00:27:21.880 So this is an African woman 0.92

00:27:24.980 Born in Liberia 0.96

00:27:26.380 And a Marxist

00:27:28.400 What a beaut she is as well 1.00

00:27:31.980 Get a load of this beaut 1.00

00:27:33.200 She's in charge of our energy policy 1.00

00:27:37.380 Thanks Andy 0.53

00:27:41.600 Lisa Nandy stays at Culture 0.98

00:27:43.520 Lisa Nandy perhaps the arch subversive and traitor

00:27:46.600 Her whole life has been one long exercise 0.66

00:27:49.740 In ruining Britain

00:27:51.300 The father was one of the founding members of the Running Me Trust

00:27:54.940 What is the Running Me Trust?

00:27:56.440 The whole raison d'etre of the Running Me Trust 0.80

00:28:00.460 Is to make Britain multiracial

00:28:02.760 Not just multicultural 0.80

00:28:04.260 Multiracial

00:28:05.880 That's their reason for being 1.00

00:28:10.920 Lisa Nandy

00:28:14.960 You can't speak properly

00:28:16.540 I think I've got a slightly high-pitched nasally voice with a regional accent

00:28:22.780 Her tongue is too big for her mouth 0.99

00:28:24.940 She can't speak properly 0.99

00:28:26.320 She's the culture secretary

00:28:28.280 Okay, Bridget Philipson

00:28:30.040 These two people actually

00:28:37.860 Bridget Philipson and Jonathan Reynolds

00:28:40.780 These are both just your classic example of career politicians

00:28:46.380 Do or say anything that is the party line

00:28:51.740 Not really the ideal people

00:28:56.860 Really to have leaders to have at the top of government

00:29:02.380 The Equalities Minister, Bridget Phillipson 0.99

00:29:06.680 Again, a traitor in my opinion 1.00

00:29:09.880 Someone who says and advocates for things

00:29:14.860 Which are suicidal to this nation

00:29:17.420 And we as a people

00:29:18.760 Jonathan Reynolds

00:29:21.680 Do you need a puppet?

00:29:23.980 Do you need a puppet that you just need to trot out onto TV?

00:29:28.440 Onto Laura Kunigsberg on Sunday morning?

00:29:32.620 Go and talk to Ed Balls on the morning show midweek

00:29:35.780 Do you need a complete empty bag

00:29:38.640 who's just going to parrot the lines you feed into him.

00:29:41.520 Oh, Jonathan Reynolds, he's good at that.

00:29:44.080 He will do exactly that.

00:29:46.380 Whatever nonsense argument you tell him to make,

00:29:49.060 he'll sit there and meekly do it.

00:29:55.620 What happened to men of conviction in government?

00:29:58.920 What happened to them?

00:30:03.800 Well, the corporate legacy, lamestream media,

00:30:06.140 and hope not hate, and all that sort of thing,

00:30:07.680 Ruin people like that

00:30:09.160 Before they get anywhere near selection

00:30:11.240 Let alone winning an election

00:30:13.640 Let alone being picked for government

00:30:14.880 And you end up with this

00:30:15.800 You end up with people like this 1.00

00:30:18.120 Idiot scum 1.00

00:30:23.300 Don't know what they're doing 1.00

00:30:27.980 Or what they're talking about

00:30:28.920 Angela The Fridge Rayner

00:30:33.520 Big Bird has returned

00:30:35.100 As housing secretary

00:30:36.460 Full final vindication for her

00:30:39.080 Well done Ange

00:30:42.960 Go and have a vape and a pint about it 1.00

00:30:47.100 She's stupid isn't she 1.00

00:30:48.940 She's one of those people that you listen to 1.00

00:30:50.500 A bit like Lisa Nandy

00:30:52.640 Or David Lammy

00:30:53.680 You can listen to them for 20 seconds

00:30:55.720 40 seconds

00:30:56.980 And you're like 1.00

00:30:57.620 Yeah they're stupid 1.00

00:30:59.200 They're below average 1.00

00:31:01.380 They're not quick

00:31:02.620 They've got nothing to offer

00:31:05.620 They're just party apparatchiks

00:31:08.760 They're just party people 1.00

00:31:10.020 Who have kissed the right asses 0.99

00:31:12.900 In the right order 0.99

00:31:13.780 To get where they are

00:31:15.120 That's it, that's all it is

00:31:16.500 Pat McFadden

00:31:19.080 Surprisingly he's one of like the arch

00:31:21.600 One of the very few

00:31:23.260 Perhaps the only one really

00:31:24.180 Of the arch Starmerites

00:31:25.660 Who's kept his job

00:31:26.620 I don't know the quid pro quo

00:31:31.820 Behind all that

00:31:32.820 Maybe he is actually also

00:31:34.520 just a very very good friend of andy burnham as well as starmer

00:31:40.360 maybe burnham just really likes him thinks he's done a great job again pat mcfad has been around

00:31:46.040 not as a senior minister but he's been around forever since the blair years as well okay lucy powell

00:31:57.320 lucy powell's an evil person i think 0.61

00:31:59.000 I think she's an evil person 0.93

00:32:03.020 I think she suffers from 0.99

00:32:04.660 The same sort of psychological malady

00:32:07.600 That a great many leftists suffer from

00:32:12.680 Which is this

00:32:14.120 They have daydreams that they are Lenin

00:32:19.400 Or Stalin

00:32:20.660 Or Mao

00:32:21.480 Or Castro

00:32:24.480 They dream that one day

00:32:26.620 they will be the general secretary of the party

00:32:29.400 wherever they are in the world

00:32:30.640 one day they'll be in the top job

00:32:32.800 and they can play puppet master

00:32:34.760 with the lives of everyone

00:32:36.560 that's what's going on in the head of a lot of leftists

00:32:41.440 most leftists

00:32:42.240 is that daydream

00:32:43.580 they want that

00:32:47.180 and they won't admit to it

00:32:48.720 very few will admit to it

00:32:54.200 that shines out of her

00:32:56.080 For me

00:32:56.860 Very ambitious

00:33:00.540 Will do anything

00:33:02.760 Anything

00:33:03.600 Say anything

00:33:05.540 To get closer 1.00

00:33:07.580 To inch her way closer to power

00:33:09.580 No conviction, no real conviction

00:33:11.440 No world view

00:33:14.300 No values

00:33:15.180 No vision

00:33:16.200 Of something good and righteous

00:33:18.480 Just whatever it takes for me

00:33:20.120 To get

00:33:20.620 To climb the greasy pole

00:33:22.000 Lucy Powell

00:33:25.660 She's the Education Secretary now

00:33:29.420 Great

00:33:30.900 Yvette Cooper, Mrs Ed Balls

00:33:33.860 Imagine having to go home to that 0.50

00:33:39.660 Oof

00:33:39.860 Health Secretary, a bit of a demotion really

00:33:42.680 Not that Health Secretary isn't one of the more eminent departments of state

00:33:47.160 But it's not as eminent as the Foreign Office, is it? 0.96

00:33:50.000 She's had to take a bit of a demotion 0.99

00:33:51.400 Gutted

00:33:54.980 Wes Streeting, the Right Honourable Mr Streeting MP 1.00

00:33:59.420 Practising homosexualist

00:34:02.140 Wes Streeting is now the Defence Secretary

00:34:04.200 Why? Why?

00:34:10.320 There would have been

00:34:11.680 Quick quote quote there, wouldn't there?

00:34:13.420 There would have been a deal

00:34:15.860 Behind the scenes

00:34:17.540 Between Mr Streeting and Mr Bumham

00:34:20.340 King of the North

00:34:21.240 Wes

00:34:24.320 Hey Wes

00:34:26.640 If you don't launch

00:34:28.660 Any sort of leadership challenge to me

00:34:30.280 I'll give you something sweet

00:34:31.480 What do you want?

00:34:33.980 What can I do for you?

00:34:35.800 Let's talk turkey

00:34:36.420 Come on baby

00:34:37.380 Let's talk turkey 0.99

00:34:38.000 What do you want?

00:34:38.640 Defence?

00:34:39.520 I can do defence

00:34:40.840 I can stretch to defence for you

00:34:42.560 What do you say?

00:34:43.260 What do you say Wes?

00:34:44.740 Yeah?

00:34:45.140 Deal?

00:34:45.960 Boom

00:34:46.180 What does he know about defence?

00:34:49.440 I've never ever heard him talk about

00:34:50.680 Anything

00:34:51.320 To do with

00:34:52.220 The military

00:34:53.160 Never

00:34:55.500 Is that his background?

00:34:58.880 Is that his sort of academic background?

00:35:00.280 No

00:35:00.380 Again, just this very, very ambitious boy

00:35:05.220 LARPing as a leader of men

00:35:07.860 Our Defence Secretary, that'll do 1.00

00:35:10.040 Shabana Mahmood, the Pakistani woman 0.96

00:35:14.240 As our Home Secretary 0.92

00:35:16.220 Are we ever going to have a white Home Secretary ever again? 0.72

00:35:23.160 But will there ever be a white mayor of London ever again? 0.90

00:35:31.140 A lot of these picks, the left of the Labour Party won't like them

00:35:34.880 Because they're old Blair rights and they're sort of on the right of the party

00:35:39.080 As far as the left of the party is concerned

00:35:40.860 The far left of the Labour Party won't like most of these 0.99

00:35:44.900 The vast majority of these, maybe that Liberian Marxist 0.99

00:35:48.920 Maybe they like her 0.74

00:35:50.220 And most of these people 0.93

00:35:52.620 Meet the new bosses

00:35:58.000 Same as the old bosses

00:36:00.040 Almost exactly the same as the old bosses

00:36:01.700 A lot of them have been around since 1997

00:36:05.520 Alright and here we go

00:36:07.800 The big hitters

00:36:08.760 Red Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary

00:36:12.000 Well at least he wasn't Chancellor

00:36:13.120 But what an embarrassment

00:36:14.120 The Foreign Secretary, the most senior diplomat basically

00:36:17.000 The avatar for your country in all sorts of ways

00:36:19.340 Of course the king and the prime minister

00:36:22.540 Are

00:36:23.580 The first

00:36:25.340 The first avatars if you like

00:36:27.440 The first diplomats in a way

00:36:29.400 And then beyond that

00:36:32.200 It's the foreign sec

00:36:33.480 Ed Miliband

00:36:34.700 His face

00:36:39.360 It's like

00:36:41.480 What is it

00:36:43.820 It's like a spitting image

00:36:46.320 Like a grotesque

00:36:48.400 Spitting image creation

00:36:51.440 You know when people

00:36:54.460 Again it just shines out of them

00:36:56.760 Their weirdness

00:36:57.820 Just have a normal face

00:37:01.480 Just have a normal expression

00:37:02.860 You're not capable of that

00:37:04.740 You're not capable of it

00:37:06.740 Louise Haig

00:37:09.560 Louise Haig

00:37:14.180 They made a chance of the Duchy of Lancaster

00:37:16.980 Which is very prestigious

00:37:17.880 With the royal family 0.62

00:37:19.880 They made her

00:37:21.200 He made her 0.84

00:37:22.060 A minister for the cabinet office

00:37:25.200 And

00:37:26.040 Gave her the title

00:37:27.960 The honorific of

00:37:29.240 What was it?

00:37:30.000 First

00:37:30.360 Something like

00:37:31.280 First minister

00:37:33.320 What was it?

00:37:35.420 First secretary of state

00:37:36.640 So she gave her three titles

00:37:39.160 The duchy of Lancaster

00:37:40.560 Very very prestigious

00:37:41.520 First secretary of state

00:37:43.440 Which often isn't used at all

00:37:45.060 and cabinet office minister the cabinet office minister

00:37:50.200 that makes her extremely powerful arguably slightly less powerful than the chancellor

00:37:57.720 but in other ways more powerful than the chancellor everything if you don't know

00:38:01.260 everything goes through the cabinet office right if there's if there is one central nexus

00:38:05.320 one hub for everything in britain it's the cabinet office right if there's some

00:38:12.980 National emergency or something

00:38:15.020 It's the Cabinet Office which directs everything

00:38:18.140 So to be the Minister for the Duchy of Lancaster

00:38:25.660 The first Secretary of State

00:38:27.140 Which is just some honorific thing

00:38:29.200 You know, just stamping it even further in

00:38:32.660 You're my right-hand man and my right-hand gal

00:38:34.660 And the Cabinet Office Minister

00:38:37.780 That's so sensitive

00:38:40.200 My pick for a Cabinet Office Minister

00:38:42.760 I would agonise over that

00:38:44.480 And you do want a loyalist

00:38:46.960 An arch-arch loyalist

00:38:48.140 But you need someone who's competent

00:38:50.480 You need the most competent human you can find

00:38:53.160 To do that 1.00

00:38:53.940 She's an idiot 1.00

00:38:57.160 Red-headed 1.00

00:38:57.780 Criminal 0.96

00:39:01.560 An actual criminal

00:39:04.660 She's going to be at the

00:39:07.080 Very heart, the very hub

00:39:09.240 The nexus of all government 0.99

00:39:10.820 And she's a criminal 1.00

00:39:11.860 Stupid criminal 1.00

00:39:12.940 What am I talking about? 1.00

00:39:14.500 What did she do? 0.80

00:39:18.560 Some sort of fraud to do with phones 1.00

00:39:21.520 Before she was an MP

00:39:25.040 She worked for Aviva

00:39:27.320 You know, like the insurance place, I think

00:39:29.640 Aviva

00:39:30.040 And she kept claiming

00:39:33.220 That the phones

00:39:35.080 Like mobile phones

00:39:36.120 Smart phones or whatever

00:39:37.420 She kept claiming that they were going missing

00:39:39.380 Or getting stolen

00:39:40.440 To the point where she contacted the police

00:39:44.360 Saying these phones have gone missing or been stolen

00:39:47.400 Turns out she was just pocketing them

00:39:50.720 She was just keeping them it seems

00:39:51.820 At one point Aviva themselves

00:39:54.920 Was doing some sort of internal investigation into it

00:39:58.680 And they found the number of one of them

00:40:00.580 And like rung it

00:40:01.940 And it was just in her house

00:40:03.400 So, some sort of very small scale, super lame fraud

00:40:13.460 To do with that

00:40:14.380 The fact that she'd reported it to the police

00:40:17.280 So that's like, or is it technically, it's like fraud

00:40:20.760 Representing a false claim in a fraudulent manner

00:40:25.440 Or something like that

00:40:25.980 But she was convicted of it

00:40:29.220 I didn't get a custodial sentence or anything

00:40:31.020 But convicted of it

00:40:32.220 This was back in, like, 2013, 2014, all that played out

00:40:36.460 Then she becomes an MP in the 2020s

00:40:40.260 Then Starmer picked her to be in government for something 0.96

00:40:44.120 I can't remember what she was, actually 0.90

00:40:45.280 Was she the Transport Secretary? 0.77

00:40:48.120 Was she the one that got...

00:40:49.380 Anyway, and Starmer said, you've got to fire you, really

00:40:52.860 You've got to sort of say sorry and you're fired

00:40:57.120 I mean, we're not going to take away the whip

00:40:58.600 We're not going to throw you out of the Labour Party

00:41:00.160 But can't be a government minister, I'm afraid

00:41:02.280 Now, she's one of the most powerful people in the country 0.93

00:41:09.300 Arguably, after the Prime Minister 0.92

00:41:11.360 The second most powerful person in the country

00:41:13.400 Her

00:41:14.760 Okay

00:41:17.460 Well done, Andy

00:41:19.100 Good pick, Andy

00:41:19.880 Again, look at the degree of Karen going on there 1.00

00:41:26.940 She's the 1.00

00:41:30.280 She's the minister for the cabinet office

00:41:32.820 First minister of state 1.00

00:41:36.720 And Arch Karen who's a liar 1.00

00:41:40.840 And a cheater and a criminal 1.00

00:41:42.020 Okay

00:41:45.080 Okay

00:41:46.700 And then there are the two top dogs

00:41:50.040 No Stern and Burnham

00:41:52.600 King Bumham the first of his name

00:41:54.980 With his guy liner

00:41:56.380 and his man Skara 0.51

00:41:58.800 and then Nosferatu

00:42:01.180 and that's me calling him Nosferatu

00:42:03.200 Nosferatu there, John Healy

00:42:07.360 and obviously

00:42:09.420 his reward for 0.77

00:42:11.220 stabbing Starmer in the back

00:42:13.220 for ending Starmer's government

00:42:15.260 and career

00:42:16.020 his reward for that is that he gets to be Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:42:19.680 do you remember the final few days

00:42:23.400 of the Starmer government before he finally admitted

00:42:25.420 he's going to stand down the last straw was john he john healy and al kearns um resigning from

00:42:35.000 defense that happened midweek didn't it and that weekend starmer takes the weekend out to go to

00:42:42.080 checkers with his wife and kids to think about his future and then he comes back and says i resign

00:42:47.460 So John Healy was

00:42:49.980 The stab in the back

00:42:52.060 The final straw 0.83

00:42:53.060 The final throat punch

00:42:56.760 Politically

00:42:58.460 To Keir Starmer

00:43:01.500 And you know

00:43:02.800 Can only imagine Burnham's like

00:43:04.480 Hey John

00:43:05.600 In that final week

00:43:07.120 Hey John

00:43:07.860 Get his people to talk to his people

00:43:11.420 If John resigns

00:43:14.860 Right now

00:43:17.460 I'll consider him for the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

00:43:22.740 What do you say there, Jono?

00:43:24.540 What do you say, H? Fancy it?

00:43:29.760 And that's how a political coup d'etat is achieved.

00:43:33.620 Gross, isn't it? Weird and gross. 0.93

00:43:36.360 It's nearly quarter to two.

00:43:37.620 Where's the time gone?

00:43:38.660 How's that 43 minutes?

00:43:40.540 Like 20.

00:43:42.020 All right, well, it is the main story.

00:43:43.820 It is the main story.

00:43:44.620 We've got a new government, another new government.

00:43:46.840 If we whip through the headlines, it's all the same stuff

00:43:49.000 Look, poor Kevin Keegan

00:43:50.000 He was good, he was really good

00:43:52.680 The Guardian

00:43:55.080 Don't do that

00:43:58.760 How we made Ferris Bueller's day off

00:44:04.640 That's an interesting question

00:44:09.620 Perhaps a more salient question would be

00:44:12.080 I would ask

00:44:13.320 How did Matthew Broderick get out of Ireland

00:44:17.140 After he killed that woman and her daughter

00:44:18.960 They don't ask that question do they

00:44:23.660 He just left by the way

00:44:25.440 Oops just butchered two people

00:44:28.840 Because I was driving on the wrong side of the road 1.00

00:44:30.340 Because I'm an idiot 1.00

00:44:31.140 A woman and her daughter mangled to death 1.00

00:44:35.220 Oh I'll just leave

00:44:36.100 I'll just run away

00:44:36.860 Don't worry about it

00:44:37.760 The US won't extradite me back to Ireland

00:44:39.400 That's fine

00:44:39.880 Oh alright Matthew

00:44:42.100 Oh, that's how that works, is it?

00:44:53.580 Burnham arrives as Prime Minister with promise to bring back hope

00:44:56.280 Yeah, right, yeah, right

00:44:57.860 Hope in what?

00:45:00.580 What do you mean?

00:45:03.360 Burnham takes over as Prime Minister with pledge to make Britain believe again

00:45:07.040 You're not Obama

00:45:08.020 You're not Obama, dude

00:45:10.360 The Metro

00:45:11.500 7th heaven

00:45:13.100 Kevin Keegan's dead

00:45:15.180 It starts now

00:45:17.060 Daily Mail

00:45:19.800 On his first day as

00:45:22.040 Prime Minister Andy Burnham

00:45:23.500 Vowed the biggest political changes for 40 years

00:45:26.420 Well just getting a load of Blairites back in 1.00

00:45:28.240 And so I've got a few foreigners 1.00

00:45:30.340 Put a Marxist African woman in charge 1.00

00:45:38.400 Of our energy policy 1.00

00:45:39.760 Is that what the biggest political change for 40 years means to you, Andy?

00:45:45.640 Claymation Turtle, Aardman Productions, Andy Bumham

00:45:50.820 Refused to rule out yet more tactics, of course

00:45:55.500 That's all the left have

00:45:58.480 Put a convicted fraudster in charge of his leftist agenda

00:46:03.300 It's factually correct to say that

00:46:08.260 a convicted fraudster

00:46:10.360 and made Ed Miliband

00:46:13.000 Foreign Secretary

00:46:13.720 thankfully not Chancellor

00:46:15.220 let's pray he knows

00:46:16.220 what he's doing

00:46:16.800 he doesn't does he

00:46:18.020 he's got some

00:46:20.880 really really

00:46:21.820 out of date

00:46:22.640 he's still moaning

00:46:23.520 about Thatcher 0.69

00:46:24.180 what an embarrassment 0.89

00:46:25.240 what an embarrassment

00:46:27.160 the Times

00:46:27.800 New PM starts with

00:46:28.780 the purge of 1.00

00:46:29.560 Starmarites 1.00

00:46:30.420 Burnham vows to be

00:46:32.540 to be circuit breaker

00:46:34.040 Prime Minister

00:46:35.380 as he purges Cabinet

00:46:36.680 I wouldn't be surprised

00:46:38.240 if the left of the Labour Party 0.94

00:46:41.160 it probably lasts longer than Liz Truss

00:46:44.180 because that was a very specific

00:46:46.640 WEF coup wasn't it to get Rishi in

00:46:50.300 I wouldn't be surprised if the left of the Labour Party can't stand him

00:46:54.060 until 2029 and try and change him out again

00:46:57.360 ok

00:47:02.060 let's holograph

00:47:03.660 Burnham Pins hopes on Healy

00:47:06.740 Look

00:47:07.000 It's acting isn't it

00:47:09.620 I don't feel he's authentic

00:47:11.380 He's just got this dream

00:47:14.860 Like most people in politics

00:47:15.960 They just have a dream

00:47:16.920 Of being the Prime Minister

00:47:17.640 Like you could say

00:47:18.120 With someone like David Cameron

00:47:19.780 Their dream is to be

00:47:22.860 The Prime Minister

00:47:23.720 And that's it

00:47:25.880 Not that they've got a vision

00:47:27.120 For Britain

00:47:28.220 Not that they've got

00:47:31.620 A set of convictions

00:47:32.740 And values

00:47:33.800 Just that they want to be the Prime Minister

00:47:36.500 So they can go down in history

00:47:37.760 On the list of names that were Prime Minister

00:47:40.840 To get on that wiki page

00:47:42.200 Of all the Prime Ministers in a row

00:47:43.940 And back from Walpole

00:47:45.540 My name will be on that one

00:47:48.420 I'll be one of those

00:47:49.860 And they will act and LARP

00:47:54.880 And do and say anything they think

00:47:56.520 Will help that happen

00:47:57.560 And it's just all phony

00:47:59.880 They're phony 0.99

00:48:00.720 He is a phony 0.98

00:48:02.520 isn't he 0.99

00:48:03.100 that's my impression

00:48:07.060 what did Tim Stanley say in the Telegraph today

00:48:10.780 oh that's right don't care because it's always

00:50:57.420 Alright

00:51:01.200 Shall we have a look

00:51:02.420 At a couple of other stories

00:51:03.500 In the news today

00:51:04.520 What have we got

00:51:05.600 Trump has been bombing Iran

00:51:08.820 For ten straight days

00:51:09.980 Burned up all sorts of infrastructure

00:51:13.520 And bridges and all sorts of things

00:51:15.780 Trump says he's going to slap 50% tariffs on Canada

00:51:20.420 That would be funny 0.99

00:51:25.140 Do we have an Anne Widdicombe story?

00:51:31.820 They've charged the guy

00:51:33.080 I've got it somewhere

00:51:33.940 Yeah, look at this

00:51:36.380 The state of this

00:51:37.840 He's 28 apparently

00:51:43.520 He's actually been charged with the murder

00:51:45.680 Been in court today

00:51:47.420 Just the first hearing

00:51:48.900 Nate was telling me

00:51:52.000 He's an actual Reddit moderator

00:51:53.760 Like for real

00:51:54.540 And some reports

00:51:58.620 Whether they're trustworthy or not

00:51:59.980 They're just reports

00:52:00.720 So I don't know if it's sort of verified facts

00:52:04.380 But some saying that in his house

00:52:05.820 He seemed to be obsessed with reform

00:52:08.360 In a bad way

00:52:10.140 Obsessed with reform

00:52:11.160 I've had loads of pictures of Nigel Farage up everywhere

00:52:15.400 I don't know if that's true

00:52:16.060 It's just one of the rumours

00:52:17.920 If that proves not to be the case

00:52:20.440 I can only apologise

00:52:21.040 It's just what people have been saying

00:52:22.440 He's just completely obsessed with the problem

00:52:24.440 Obviously hates them

00:52:25.280 It's like

00:52:25.580 Obviously sort of

00:52:27.660 Consumed by

00:52:30.540 Resentment and rage or something

00:52:33.540 Again, physiognomy

00:52:36.760 Physiognomy rarely lies 1.00

00:52:38.400 This is a fat loser 1.00

00:52:41.200 Like he couldn't beat another man to death 1.00

00:52:46.460 So he has to pick on a little 5 foot 1 1.00

00:52:49.560 78 year old little old lady 1.00

00:52:52.560 Defenseless 1.00

00:52:53.620 Is there anything more contemptible than something like that?

00:53:00.420 Perhaps if it was a little kid

00:53:01.720 Perhaps if he beat a small child to death 0.62

00:53:03.780 That might be slightly more contemptible 0.99

00:53:06.060 But yeah, what a mad 0.88

00:53:09.700 S.O.B 1.00

00:53:10.880 Anne Whittacombe as well

00:53:14.500 You know, if he hated 0.88

00:53:19.720 Reformed so much, he wanted them all dead 1.00

00:53:21.160 He wanted to murder one or more of them 1.00

00:53:22.800 I'll pick the physically most 0.97

00:53:27.580 Vulnerable one

00:53:28.420 What a

00:53:31.900 I mean, it's just

00:53:35.260 revolting isn't it revolting and obviously obviously left left left uh left-leaning

00:53:42.980 terrorism of course it is of course it

00:53:45.520 one other report i heard yourself i was told about yesterday was apparently the police are

00:53:52.840 investigating again i don't know if this is true just what i heard something like 800 different

00:53:58.440 lines of inquiry 800 wait is this guy just a lone wolf crazy incel dude who's got learning

00:54:09.060 difficulties and had lost his dad and just drove halfway across the country to beat a little old

00:54:15.880 lady to death in her own home and it was a complete lone wolf lone wolf psycho event

00:54:20.680 or are there hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people on chat rooms or wherever in groups

00:54:26.900 That all talk about this sort of stuff all the time

00:54:29.520 Blue sky, whatever, I don't know

00:54:30.500 Facebook groups

00:54:32.680 Yeah, probably that

00:54:35.320 Probably the latter, isn't it?

00:54:37.360 800 lines of inquiry

00:54:38.980 What?

00:54:41.240 What are you talking about?

00:54:47.460 Alright

00:54:48.100 Yep, there you go

00:54:50.400 Alright, it's nearly nine

00:54:53.740 Let's do on this day in history

00:54:55.140 Let's do that bit

00:54:55.920 I quite like doing that bit

00:54:58.060 You guys seem to like me doing it

00:54:59.580 Down through the centuries on this day in history

00:55:00.900 What happened of note?

00:55:03.940 On the 21st of July

00:55:05.280 In the year 356 BC

00:55:08.480 Herostratus sets fire to the temple of Artemis at Ephesus

00:55:12.180 One of the seven wonders of the world

00:55:13.900 Yeah, classic story really

00:55:15.520 The temple of Artemis at Ephesus

00:55:18.040 One of the seven ancient wonders of the world

00:55:21.240 It originally got destroyed before that

00:55:27.840 Back in like 6th or 7th century BC

00:55:30.240 And was rebuilt

00:55:32.440 But then Heverstratus burnt it down

00:55:34.900 Why, you ask?

00:55:36.920 Is he like a devoted partisan of the cult of Apollo or something

00:55:41.220 And just couldn't bear such a massive, brilliant monument to Artemis

00:55:44.700 Now he did it to be famous

00:55:46.400 There's another reason

00:55:49.340 There's loads of timber and wood in the ceilings

00:55:53.760 There's a stone temple

00:55:55.760 There's still all sorts of wooden bits to it

00:55:58.060 Burnt it down

00:55:58.860 So that his name would go down in history 0.85

00:56:01.960 For doing a bad thing

00:56:04.140 Right?

00:56:06.700 Well it worked, didn't it?

00:56:08.040 To some degree, Herostratus

00:56:09.180 We're reading his name

00:56:12.380 We're talking about him right now, aren't we? 0.92

00:56:13.660 It's such a loser thing to do isn't it

00:56:20.100 It's like I've tried to make my mark on the world

00:56:23.660 Tried to be important in some way

00:56:25.680 It didn't work 0.99

00:56:26.920 I'm too much of a loser

00:56:28.200 I failed to make any imprint whatsoever 0.96

00:56:32.020 Trying to do good and righteous and noble things

00:56:34.700 So I'll just destroy something 1.00

00:56:36.260 I'll just murder some people 1.00

00:56:40.740 Or destroy some buildings 1.00

00:56:42.200 Or something beautiful

00:56:43.220 I'll ruin something beautiful

00:56:44.640 Instead then

00:56:47.060 The story is as old as time

00:56:50.040 It's part of the human condition in some ways, isn't it?

00:56:57.360 Part of the human condition

00:56:58.600 Something like that

00:56:59.620 The world doesn't realise my greatness

00:57:05.040 So I'll make them realise

00:57:08.460 By destroying something

00:57:13.220 okay on this day in 365 an earthquake on crete followed by a tsunami around the eastern

00:57:21.280 mediterranean allegedly destroys alexandria

00:57:23.900 again i might want to say about that it's quite well documented

00:57:29.640 that would be 365 ad that would be i say well documented i mean a few people in in the ancient

00:57:38.720 world wrote about it. Yeah, that part of the Mediterranean is very sort of volcanic, isn't it?

00:57:50.240 All sorts of, down through the ages, all sorts of volcanism and things.

00:57:57.680 Earthquakes all around that part of the world. Okay, on this day in 1861, the first battle of

00:58:01.600 Bull Run. First Battle of Manassas. The South call it Manassas, don't they? And the North

00:58:08.720 call it Bull Run. And it's the first major battle of the US Civil War is fought near

00:58:13.820 Manassas in Virginia and ends in a Confederate victory. It's a great one. It's a classic 0.89

00:58:18.420 one. The North, the Union, thought it wasn't that far, in the scheme of things, from Washington, 0.97

00:58:27.080 dc not that far um the union thought they would win it with ease and the beginning of the battle 0.97

00:58:34.200 it looks like they would even all people from the north from the union like women and children

00:58:39.000 coming out and sitting on a far away ridge watching the battle you know drinking tea and

00:58:44.440 eating sandwiches and things probably not tea they're american but you know just the gentle

00:58:50.300 middle class people sitting out watching the battle through glasses through sort of opera

00:58:53.880 glasses there's a battle going on we are expected to win it of course those southern rebs 1.00

00:59:00.120 they're they're just they're just scum they don't know what they're doing 1.00

00:59:03.560 rebel scum and it looked like they were going to win the battle but then the confederacy won it 1.00

00:59:09.080 it was like oh wait that wasn't supposed to happen wait what then there's supposed 0.99

00:59:14.520 to be a ragtag bunch of losers oh we got beat uh oh dear and they retreat back towards dc

00:59:26.760 there's a small window of time then historians say small very small window of time 0.90

00:59:34.200 where if the south the confederates are if they had followed up on that straight after

00:59:41.720 the first Battle of Bull run

00:59:43.900 they probably would have

00:59:46.580 needed a bigger army

00:59:48.240 if they had had

00:59:49.900 a slightly bigger army and much more aggressive

00:59:52.720 leadership

00:59:53.520 they could have possibly

00:59:56.600 possibly marched on

00:59:58.640 Washington DC and won the war

01:00:00.620 like that straight away

01:00:01.880 but they didn't, it wasn't quite

01:00:06.540 possible, it wasn't quite logistically possible

01:00:08.640 it was one of those

01:00:09.680 Counterfactuals in history

01:00:11.500 What if that had happened

01:00:12.540 What if this on that

01:00:14.420 Tiny little thing was a little bit different

01:00:16.260 And that had happened

01:00:17.540 Would have been a turn up for the books

01:00:22.660 But that's not how it played out

01:00:23.720 And within a year of that

01:00:26.020 DC is like the most heavily fortified city on earth

01:00:29.560 Okay

01:00:35.640 On this day in 1904

01:00:37.240 After 13 years

01:00:38.760 The 4,607 mile Trans-Siberian Railway is completed

01:00:42.700 Quite an achievement really

01:00:43.740 Railway line all the way from

01:00:47.060 Is it all the way from the Pacific?

01:00:48.900 Is it like Vladivostok or whatever

01:00:50.560 All the way to Moscow

01:00:51.620 Or St Petersburg

01:00:54.420 A remarkable feat of engineering

01:00:58.860 Okay, on this day in 1925

01:01:01.980 John T. Scopes is found guilty of teaching evolution

01:01:06.180 In the Scopes Monkey Trial

01:01:08.300 In Dayton, Tennessee

01:01:09.480 And find $100 and costs

01:01:11.400 Don't take care 0.96

01:01:16.160 The folks that teach evolution in these parts

01:01:18.440 It's gone the other way, isn't it?

01:01:21.240 I think it was in the 1980s

01:01:24.280 Maybe even the 1990s

01:01:26.480 There's basically the opposite of that

01:01:28.460 Where teachers were trying to teach

01:01:31.700 Creationism in schools

01:01:33.560 And it ends up in federal court

01:01:36.280 And the federal judges say

01:01:38.440 No you can't do that

01:01:39.600 You can teach it

01:01:40.820 But just don't tell the kids

01:01:41.720 That it's definitely the only truth

01:01:43.160 Back in 1925

01:01:46.840 At least in Dayton, Tennessee

01:01:49.340 It wasn't cool to teach evolution

01:01:53.060 Alright

01:01:53.620 On this day

01:01:54.760 Just read The Voyage of the Beagle

01:01:58.460 Just read Origin of the Species

01:02:00.480 Read it

01:02:01.100 Read it

01:02:02.200 You're one of those people who don't believe in evolution

01:02:05.360 Read Voyage of the Beagle and the Origin of the Species

01:02:09.940 And come back, we'll talk about it

01:02:11.980 I'm not descended from a monkey

01:02:14.520 Okay, on this day in 1954

01:02:20.540 Geneva Accords for Indochina are signed

01:02:25.500 Dividing French colonial territories

01:02:28.080 Into the countries of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam

01:02:31.180 North Vietnam, communist North Vietnam

01:02:32.800 And the state of Vietnam, South Vietnam

01:02:35.580 Cambodia and Laos

01:02:37.720 Laos

01:02:38.880 I think it's pronounced Laos isn't it

01:02:40.800 I've actually been to that part of the world

01:02:42.100 They say Laos 0.99

01:02:42.940 Okay, 1954, Geneva Accords 0.98

01:02:45.640 Absolutely the beginning of the end

01:02:49.700 For sort of French rule in Indochina

01:02:53.060 Not many years after that

01:02:57.180 The French leave entirely 0.99

01:02:58.360 okay in nine on this day in 1970 aswan higher dam opens in egypt enabling humans to control

01:03:06.280 the flooding of the nile in some ways really good for modern egypt in other ways a travesty

01:03:16.920 you ever look up the amount of things that had to be destroyed

01:03:20.520 And ruined in order for that dam to be built

01:03:25.920 And the giant flood plain behind the dam

01:03:29.220 Just flooding a massive area

01:03:31.800 That's of great archaeological interest

01:03:35.020 Historical and archaeological interest

01:03:36.540 God knows what treasures and wonders were buried under those sands

01:03:40.820 Now it's just a reservoir

01:03:42.220 All sorts of things lost to history

01:03:47.100 okay on this day in 2015 on this day this website on this day changes its domain domain name

01:04:01.400 and brand from historyorb.com to onthisday.com okay don't give me those again dear onthisdayinhistory.com

01:04:10.460 don't do that again i'm not interested in that probably think you're being clever quirky

01:04:15.500 Waste my time

01:04:17.460 On this day in 2024

01:04:19.420 US President Joe Biden

01:04:20.720 Abandons his campaign for re-election

01:04:23.040 And endorses Vice President Camel Toe Harris

01:04:25.600 Sorry

01:04:27.380 Kamala Harris

01:04:28.600 Is it Kamala?

01:04:29.940 Kamala or Kamala or Cam Toe

01:04:32.040 Who knows, who cares 1.00

01:04:33.120 What a loser 1.00

01:04:33.940 I wonder if she's drunk right now 1.00

01:04:37.320 Remember when she came out a few days

01:04:40.600 Or a week or two after her loss

01:04:42.240 To the Donald

01:04:43.680 She came out and did a bit to camera 0.91

01:04:46.420 And she was sloshed 0.58

01:04:48.700 Properly like

01:04:50.560 Slurring our words

01:04:51.640 Really that's the take you're going with

01:04:54.520 It's not live

01:04:55.160 It's a pre-recorded thing

01:04:57.260 You're going with that take

01:04:58.940 Where you're obviously drunk

01:05:00.140 What an embarrassment 1.00

01:05:02.300 And what an idiot as well 1.00

01:05:03.560 Joe Biden 1.00

01:05:09.340 Joe Biden abandons his campaign

01:05:11.500 Does he?

01:05:12.180 You mean his handlers told him to?

01:05:13.680 Joe Biden didn't know what was going on, did he?

01:05:19.400 He really, really didn't know what on earth was going on

01:05:23.240 Such a cynical thing

01:05:27.220 His handlers

01:05:28.720 Why don't we get

01:05:30.120 I know we've had puppets before

01:05:32.060 Presidents that are essentially puppets for other people behind the scenes

01:05:36.980 Why don't we get a guy

01:05:38.360 That really, really doesn't understand where he is

01:05:42.040 And what he's saying and what's going on

01:05:43.680 and we'll just write speeches for him shot him out occasionally get him to read what we've written

01:05:49.280 and that's it and we'll walk him off stage again let's do that yeah anyone fit that description

01:05:55.520 well joe biden's losing his marbles we could use we could use joe biden

01:06:03.360 yeah good plan let's do that revolting cynical

01:06:08.400 all right let's do our rumble rants and super chats let me do this with my mic boom so i can

01:06:18.280 see the left hand side of my screen oh the rumble rants global church history is absent i know but

01:06:58.080 thing so I can read the you see what I'm saying if you move the yeah great that's it sorry um

01:07:04.860 You say, if we don't disenfranchise the unworthy

01:07:08.140 It won't matter if socialism isn't persuasive

01:07:10.300 It becomes a numbers game

01:07:11.620 I mean, you're not wrong

01:07:14.840 There are all sorts of problems inherent

01:07:16.900 Baked into democracy, aren't there?

01:07:20.340 We know this

01:07:21.040 Going back to ancient Athens

01:07:23.300 If you read your Thucydides 0.90

01:07:26.400 And how someone like

01:07:28.860 Alcibiades was able to manipulate the Athenian democracy

01:07:36.380 To the point of ruining it

01:07:39.640 Ruining the system and the city itself

01:07:44.440 Because he was able to manipulate it

01:07:47.380 For vast swathes of human history, civilised human history 0.80

01:07:52.480 Democracy was a byword for a silly idea

01:07:56.800 Democracy was shorthand for 0.91

01:08:00.640 A nonsense idea that's been tried a number of times

01:08:04.000 And always fails, never ever works 1.00

01:08:05.600 Like, don't be an idiot 1.00

01:08:08.160 This guy's talking about democracies 1.00

01:08:11.040 He's mentioned democracy

01:08:11.740 Oh my god, awkward, embarrassing

01:08:14.240 He doesn't know what he's talking about

01:08:16.320 About most of human history, that's what it was

01:08:21.100 Like, of course democracy doesn't work

01:08:24.620 Do I need to tap the sign

01:08:26.440 Don't need to tap the sign

01:08:28.760 And list all the times democracies have been tried

01:08:31.800 Since the ancient world

01:08:32.580 And how they all failed

01:08:33.700 How they all got manipulated

01:08:35.900 And subverted and perverted

01:08:37.300 And ended in ruin

01:08:38.380 Just telling you

01:08:43.560 Just telling you what happened

01:08:46.320 Okay

01:08:51.000 Fallen Firebird says

01:08:52.660 Our liberal order is blind to the facts

01:08:55.240 That the only way out of Britain's mess

01:08:56.760 Lay beyond their narrow leftist

01:08:59.500 Anti-white paradigm

01:09:00.440 How people are sleepwalking into a nightmare 0.97

01:09:02.740 And nobody cares

01:09:03.560 Some people care

01:09:04.320 I care

01:09:05.300 We care

01:09:06.460 Don't we

01:09:07.260 We care

01:09:08.320 I know what you mean

01:09:10.040 I get it

01:09:10.940 I get your sentiment

01:09:11.620 I know what you mean

01:09:12.180 So many normies don't care

01:09:14.240 You know like going to Makerfield

01:09:15.440 Some of the vox pops we did

01:09:16.480 Going to Makerfield

01:09:17.020 People don't know what's going on

01:09:18.120 They don't know what's going on

01:09:20.040 Some of them didn't even know

01:09:20.880 There was a by-election going on

01:09:22.160 Never heard of reform

01:09:24.300 let alone Restore, never heard of Burnham. Don't seem to care either. Concerning, isn't

01:09:37.220 it? But then, history is always moved by a small number of committed men and women, largely

01:09:45.340 men, though. A small number of ultra-committed people will move history. That's where it's

01:09:53.860 always been. That's where it'll probably always be. The vast majority of people can

01:09:59.220 act as sheeple. Not interested, just not interested. They've got their own little

01:10:09.120 life, their own little bubble of existence and reality. And that's hard enough. That's

01:10:13.620 enough for them not interested in the big picture

01:10:17.720 it's bad isn't it because the big picture will come for you anyway

01:10:25.500 won't it won't leave you alone but some people care some people care we care don't we oh global

01:10:34.780 church history's just come in with one there he says sometimes he says sometimes the rant doesn't

01:10:42.700 show if it's too early it was sometimes the rent doesn't show

01:10:52.060 okay but then we've got our two factors we've got our two daily global church history factors you

01:10:56.380 say today in 356 bc alexander the great was born i think oh no it's actually some history brain

01:12:03.880 In 1669

01:12:09.940 In Carolina

01:14:53.900 A project that's been going on

01:14:57.320 For a long, long, long time

01:14:58.940 A long time, I mean

01:15:00.980 Perhaps as much as a century

01:15:02.660 It's not just something that sort of started in the 60s

01:15:05.700 Some people like to sort of

01:15:08.480 Like that argument

01:15:10.300 Now you look back

01:15:12.580 You look back to like the 20s for example

01:15:14.800 1920s

01:16:42.080 wing terror it'll be hushed up yeah maybe maybe not i mean probably i would be surprised but maybe

01:16:47.760 not if it comes out in court in open court particularly if he pleads innocent and then

01:16:54.480 he is cross-examined it may well come out in the court transcripts if the authorities decide not

01:17:01.240 to put just a complete ban on the reporting you might be right you might not who knows we'll have

01:18:21.460 Oh, there's nothing, it's the end of history.

01:18:23.500 There's nothing to fight for anymore.

01:18:25.700 Our parents and grandparents had great things that they could fight for.

01:18:29.340 We haven't got anything.

01:18:30.240 Oh, it's all doom and gloom.

01:18:46.480 That's what they want

01:18:47.280 That's what all our enemies want

01:18:49.100 Ultimately

01:18:49.700 Is for us to slink away

01:18:52.080 Into the darkness

01:18:52.840 In defeat

01:18:53.460 Put your head down

01:18:55.000 And give up

01:19:09.720 We are the dreamers of dreams

01:19:13.420 We are the music makers

01:19:15.680 Don't give up, don't think about giving up

01:19:19.920 In times past, in World War II, in the Napoleonic era

01:19:23.720 If you're a defeatist, they will sometimes put you in jail

01:19:26.880 If you talk too much smack about how you're defeated and we're going to lose 0.81

01:19:33.320 And how Napoleon or Mr Hitler is sure to win 0.92

01:19:36.100 They shut you down 0.98

01:19:58.200 Something to work towards

01:20:10.460 Your country and your people

01:20:11.560 What's more valid

01:20:14.540 What's more valuable than that

01:20:15.920 That's what they want us to do

01:20:19.280 Is to just be hopeless

01:20:20.420 Oh I can't do anything

01:20:21.700 It's over

01:20:22.300 Just sit there

01:20:24.940 And just take it

01:20:25.520 That's what they want

01:20:26.060 That's what they need

01:20:26.900 That's what they're relying on

01:20:28.140 Actually

01:20:28.700 Well no

01:20:42.640 Barely begun to awaken

01:20:46.500 We've been in tougher spots than this before

01:20:49.820 In this country

01:20:50.500 Been in tougher spots than this

01:20:53.760 Just a few million people

01:20:58.300 That we can legally deport 0.94

01:20:59.800 And re-migrate

01:21:22.620 Do it

01:21:25.240 Okay and the last one for today

01:21:31.720 Bloody Friday

01:21:33.460 Devastates Belfast

01:21:35.640 When 22 bombs

01:21:36.920 Are detonated

01:21:39.460 Agents

01:21:57.820 Bloody Friday

01:21:58.880 Devastates Belfast

01:22:00.480 With 22 bombs detonated

01:22:07.740 about that bloody Friday

01:22:08.620 in enough details.

01:22:09.660 Is there just another guy

01:22:21.920 wouldn't he,

01:22:22.140 in 1972?

01:22:22.740 It couldn't have been

01:22:23.100 the Eamon Holmes.
