00:01:00.000 We don't need to faff about it anymore, do we?

00:01:02.280 There's no point in fannying around

00:01:04.380 Let's just get straight into it

00:01:05.560 What's that cabal of evil Fleet Street editors

00:01:07.660 banging on about this morning?

00:01:08.840 Oh yeah, so it happened

00:01:09.940 It happened

00:01:12.460 as predicted yesterday

00:01:15.220 Starmer did resign

00:01:17.960 yesterday

00:01:18.780 It played out almost exactly as I said, didn't it?

00:01:21.180 It was very shortly after the Bo Show had finished, actually,

00:01:24.280 at sort of 10 a.m., which is summertime.

00:01:27.480 They got the little lectern out.

00:01:29.060 He came out and he said,

00:01:30.140 my government was kind of great, wasn't it?

00:01:31.940 But unfortunately, I don't have the support anymore

00:01:33.860 and it's been the privilege of my life.

00:01:37.200 That's exactly what happened.

00:01:42.060 All so tiresome and unpredictable.

00:01:44.420 Seven prime ministers in ten years,

00:01:46.020 if you'd like to include David Cameron in that.

00:01:51.180 embarrassing really embarrassing really all right well as you can imagine then

00:01:58.640 that completely dominates completely dominates the news cycle today all the

00:02:04.460 front pages and all the websites really we've got a couple little bits and bobs

00:02:08.620 here or there and I will try and cover them but today's basically the whole

00:02:12.620 show really is gonna be about this more or less hey as I say got the other bits

00:02:17.700 where i can find them where i can glean them a quality data points about iran and jd vance

00:02:24.500 alan greenspan's dead

00:02:28.100 okay all right here's tears

00:02:33.060 and andy's crown king andy king of the north and south now and messiah without a mandate

00:02:40.660 he wore sandals yesterday didn't he remember that like the messiah

00:02:44.900 When he was getting sworn in

00:02:47.900 As an MP

00:02:48.900 Which happened yesterday

00:02:49.800 Someone shouted out

00:02:51.800 He must have been a conservative

00:02:52.580 I'm pretty sure it was someone

00:02:53.240 A conservative

00:02:53.860 Shattered out

00:02:54.400 You're not the messiah

00:02:55.460 And Andy

00:02:59.200 No Stern and Berman

00:03:00.400 King of the North

00:03:02.360 Said

00:03:03.760 Just a very naughty boy

00:03:06.380 Do you get that reference Jack?

00:03:08.880 Do you understand that?

00:03:10.680 No I don't get that one unfortunately

00:03:11.980 Alright okay

00:03:13.060 I have to be careful

00:03:14.100 Because being in my mid-40s, I often don't take into account enough

00:03:21.440 that younger people won't get things.

00:03:23.700 It's from The Life of Brian.

00:03:26.240 Pardon me.

00:03:27.520 Monty Python's Life of Brian, which, to be fair, did come out in the 1970s.

00:03:31.480 Oh, I have watched that.

00:03:32.420 I just don't remember that joke.

00:03:34.160 No, it's okay.

00:03:35.160 It's no shade on you, Jack.

00:03:37.240 It's a good bellwether to know if perhaps foreign people have never seen it,

00:03:41.220 or if people are young.

00:03:44.100 They wouldn't know, yeah

00:03:46.180 So in that, Brian

00:03:48.440 His mother has to tell a crowd of people

00:03:52.520 He's not the Messiah

00:03:53.420 They're calling him the Messiah

00:03:54.600 And he's saying, I'm not the Messiah

00:03:55.880 In the end, his mum has to come out

00:03:57.520 Terry Jones, dressed as a woman

00:03:59.220 And he's not the Messiah

00:04:01.900 He's a very naughty boy

00:04:03.080 So someone shouted at Burnham

00:04:06.940 You're not the Messiah

00:04:07.660 And he said, just a naughty boy

00:04:09.320 Very funny, isn't it?

00:04:13.020 Very funny

00:04:13.780 All right

00:04:16.260 He's a messiah without a mandate

00:04:18.660 You see, now you're getting it

00:04:19.600 Now you're starting to understand

00:04:20.500 He's a messiah without a mandate

00:04:22.160 They're saying

00:04:23.920 The cabal of evil Fleet Street editors

00:04:26.880 Don't mention the connection between

00:04:32.480 The Barron Rothschild

00:04:34.200 Fifth Barron Rothschild

00:04:35.100 And Jeffrey Epstein

00:04:36.660 That he could barrack like every day

00:04:38.380 Yeah, guys

00:04:39.000 Okay, the Metro

00:04:42.620 Gross

00:04:48.720 Okay

00:04:49.680 Starmer quits

00:04:50.840 And Streeting backs away

00:04:52.060 So

00:04:53.120 No Stern and Burnham

00:04:55.100 And King Andy Bumham

00:04:58.600 The first of his name

00:04:59.420 And his guyliner

00:05:00.400 And his double chins

00:05:01.660 Will probably get a coronation

00:05:03.640 Probably

00:05:04.480 Might not

00:05:05.780 But it looks like

00:05:06.340 Well his main rival

00:05:07.580 Would have been West Streeting

00:05:08.800 And all the scuttlebutt

00:05:10.840 Around Westminster ears

00:05:12.360 The Right Honourable Wesley Streeting MP

00:05:15.160 Is not going to contend it

00:05:18.040 Will one or two others

00:05:20.340 We'll talk about that in a bit

00:05:21.760 It looks like Streeting probably won't

00:05:23.160 Which probably leaves the path just completely open to freedom

00:05:25.160 It is remarkable

00:05:26.520 Before

00:05:27.640 Before

00:05:29.460 This

00:05:31.700 All played out

00:05:33.800 Before the

00:05:35.100 NEC of the Labour Party

00:05:37.660 Their national sort of

00:05:39.060 Governing body

00:05:40.540 Remember in the Gorton and Dent one

00:05:43.120 They blocked Andy Burnham from even being selected

00:05:45.340 Didn't they

00:05:45.940 And before

00:05:49.320 They allowed him to be selected for Makerfield

00:05:51.540 I was saying

00:05:53.600 As a lot of other people were saying

00:05:55.200 It's a crazy long shot

00:05:57.740 For Andy Burnham to be Prime Minister

00:05:59.340 There's like 3, 4, 5 different things

00:06:02.020 That need to fall into place

00:06:03.860 And a few of those

00:06:05.700 Are really unlikely

00:06:06.800 It's like it's a crazy long shot

00:06:10.200 I wouldn't put any money on Burnham being Prime Minister

00:06:12.160 Well, here we are

00:06:13.160 Right

00:06:14.020 You know, it was in the lap of the gods a couple of times

00:06:18.200 Particularly for the Makerfield election itself

00:06:19.840 But he won it handily in the end

00:06:21.880 And here we are

00:06:22.720 Remarkable, really

00:06:24.460 The powers that be

00:06:28.480 And the good people of Makerfield

00:06:31.280 Wanted him, you know

00:06:32.720 We shall see

00:06:35.960 How well he does

00:06:37.720 If and when he does actually become Prime Minister

00:06:39.700 how well he does what his actual sort of main policies will be they're going to be ball plop

00:06:46.980 aren't they it's going to be more of the same it's going to be like starmer but worse isn't it

00:06:54.260 it's going to be more globalist

00:06:59.140 okay kia's tears two-tier kia when he uh and andy's crown emotional pm steps down praising

00:07:09.460 Wife and children

00:07:10.340 Then jubilant Burnham sweeps in

00:07:13.700 He did a tweet saying

00:07:15.040 It's not a coup

00:07:16.700 It's not a political coup d'etat

00:07:18.240 Yes it is

00:07:18.900 That's exactly what it is

00:07:21.460 Get real

00:07:22.360 So his speech

00:07:24.560 Thought maybe we could have a quick look at his speech

00:07:26.460 I've got no sympathy whatsoever

00:07:29.520 For this man

00:07:30.300 None

00:07:30.720 He did a little bit of a voice crack

00:07:34.560 The country I love

00:07:36.340 Like Theresa May

00:07:37.980 I'm going to do the best

00:07:39.940 I'm going to leave office

00:07:41.240 I'm going to do the best thing

00:07:42.460 In the world that's possible to do

00:07:45.000 Be a good father and a good dad

00:07:47.260 So weak

00:07:58.120 It's exactly the sort of person

00:07:59.540 You don't want to be the leader

00:08:01.020 Just a weakling

00:08:03.500 Just an empty shirt

00:08:05.400 Nothing man

00:08:08.140 Shall we have a look at his actual speech

00:08:10.900 Right here

00:08:13.540 It's only like six minutes long or so

00:08:16.280 Let's have a little listen

00:08:18.700 Oh before I go into it

00:08:20.400 Do you remember Boris Johnson's one

00:08:21.860 Boris Johnson seemed happy

00:08:23.740 Didn't he

00:08:24.760 He seemed to me

00:08:26.000 If I recall

00:08:26.780 I haven't re-watched it

00:08:28.160 In the last 24 hours I think

00:08:29.360 But if I recall

00:08:30.040 He seemed to me kind of happy

00:08:32.360 Anyway

00:08:34.360 they're usually not are they they're usually on the verge of tears but

00:08:36.840 all right let's watch let's see how delusional it is it's really really delusional it's gaslighting

00:08:42.480 it's trying to rewrite history the thing is you can hear music in the background it's that

00:08:48.300 stephen bray dude anyone who doesn't know that is for 10 years now because today is the anniversary

00:08:57.460 the 10-year anniversary of the brexit vote um there's a guy i don't know where he must be

00:09:03.340 independently wealthy because he obviously hasn't got a job god knows where he got his money from

00:09:07.380 but anyway there's a guy stephen bray just a dude a normal completely normal person

00:09:10.960 right he's obviously got a bit of money so he doesn't work and uh he spends all day every day

00:09:16.720 basically more or less in parliament square hanging around outside the houses of parliament

00:09:21.900 um with like a big brexit hat and like a pro-eu flag he's like an arch arch remainer arch arch

00:09:30.040 pro-eu person and he just spends all day every day uh hanging around there making a noise making a

00:09:38.840 slight very slight nuisance of himself and um occasionally giving interviews he's one of those

00:09:46.360 people in british politics a bit like count bin face or a bit like screaming lord such is just

00:09:50.180 like a figure of absurdity basically he doesn't think he is he thinks he's serious he's just super

00:09:56.520 Super Pro EU will talk to anyone at any time about rejoining Europe, that sort of thing.

00:10:02.140 He was playing really loud, standing at the gates of No. 10 Downing Street. Downing Street

00:10:10.180 is a road just off of Whitehall and it's gated and there's armed police there so normal people

00:10:14.980 can't walk up and down Downing Street. But you can stand at the gates of Downing Street

00:10:20.640 which is only 100 yards from there maybe 150 yards not very far you can stand on white hall

00:10:29.460 looking through the gates of downing street and just about see number 10 um anyway you're standing

00:10:37.880 there as anyone can with some sort of boom box or something some sort of loudspeaker boom box thing

00:10:43.180 playing ode to joy really loudly really loudly all the mics pick it up

00:10:48.700 Because apparently that's one of Starmer's favourite songs

00:10:52.540 It's also some sort of EU anthem as well

00:10:54.920 And the Stephen Bray fella likes Keir Starmer

00:10:59.000 He wasn't trying to sort of ruin his moment

00:11:01.260 Although it did sort of weirdly ruin it

00:11:03.820 It did sort of put him off a little bit

00:11:04.840 But anyway

00:11:05.180 That's what that music is if you can hear it

00:11:07.660 It's not like a stunt designed by Starmer himself

00:11:10.920 Or like the number 10 team or anything

00:11:13.340 It's Stephen Bray standing about 150 yards away

00:11:16.680 At the end of Downing Street

00:11:17.720 all right let's watch this thank you walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment

00:11:27.000 of my life a new labor government the first in 14 years a page in our country's history turned

00:11:36.600 after years of disappointment and despair the chance to change the lives of millions of people

00:11:43.720 for the better that's what i came into politics for the journey to that point was not easy

00:11:53.720 six years ago i inherited a labor party that was politically financially and morally bankrupt

00:12:03.000 a bit of a dig at corbyn there isn't it

00:12:07.080 that the party was just in the doldrums and he sort of found the crown in the gut of the crown

00:12:13.000 of the labour party found it in the gutter picked it up and just put it on if it wasn't for him the

00:12:18.600 labour party would already be dead or something um okay i was told time and time again that my party

00:12:30.760 was finished that we were consigned to history that a majority at the general election

00:12:37.720 let alone a landslide majority was impossible but we proved those people wrong because we

00:12:46.880 changed our party ripping out the poison of anti-semitism restoring trust on the economy

00:12:54.440 defense and national security i don't think he did any of those things really again another

00:13:01.100 dig at corbyn corbyn sort of a pro palestine well not sort of is a pro-palestine person

00:13:08.540 um what did he say he said about um restoring security as we changed our party

00:13:16.300 ripping out the poison of anti-semitism restoring trust on the economy defense

00:13:23.180 and national security trust in the economy and national security no not at all didn't you

00:13:32.140 greenlight a chinese giant chinese embassy the biggest embassy in europe like a freakishly big

00:13:38.780 chinese embassy that is that is built over really really sensitive telecommunications hubs

00:13:46.620 but you're saying we got trust in national security and haven't there been quite a few

00:13:52.060 chinese and russian espionage uh plots going on particularly inside your government

00:14:00.940 trust in the economy our economy is absolutely in the doldrums if you don't calculate it in a very

00:14:05.980 very specific way we're in recession trust in the economy and national security what planet is he

00:14:13.660 living on weird and becoming a party that once again stood proudly with not against our national

00:14:22.480 flag no no in fact just the other day i think it was in bristol the councils were like you can't

00:14:34.120 put up st george's flags that'll make migrants feel unwelcome not a word from the national

00:14:38.740 government. Not a word about that. No, when there was the whole flag thing going on, the

00:14:44.440 government didn't do anything to back up the pro-flag people. Not a word. Not a dicky

00:14:48.620 bird. No, it's done everything in its power to undermine our sort of sense of national

00:14:54.960 identity. Everything. Welcoming a massive delegation of Islamic people into Westminster

00:15:03.380 in Westminster Hall, so they can do a call to prayer in Westminster Hall.

00:15:08.380 The hard work of change was with a singular purpose.

00:15:13.380 Not power for power's sake, but to change Britain for the better.

00:15:19.380 To build a fairer country with dignity and respect,

00:15:25.380 where everyone is seen, everyone is valued. Wealth and opportunity for all

00:15:33.380 Everyone is valued, apart from Wayne Broadhurst, apart from Red and White, apart from all the rape victims, apart from all the murder victims, particularly white ones, you didn't really value them, did you?

00:15:51.840 You memory hold those, didn't you?

00:15:55.100 They weren't heard, were they?

00:15:58.160 Fairer

00:15:58.660 You're going to talk about fairer?

00:16:01.980 Cheap SOB

00:16:03.500 The brass neck of it

00:16:06.760 To come out and talk like that

00:16:08.780 That he's made Britain fairer

00:16:10.720 Under a two-tier

00:16:12.120 See, that's Henry Novak

00:16:13.360 A fairer society

00:16:15.840 Really?

00:16:17.400 Don't think so, mate

00:16:21.840 The cheek of it

00:16:24.560 For all

00:16:26.680 Not just

00:16:28.320 The privileged few

00:16:30.120 That's classic

00:16:32.080 That's classic commie socialist

00:16:34.880 Claptrap isn't it

00:16:37.000 To make everything fairer

00:16:39.860 Just that

00:16:41.860 That there's a privileged few

00:16:44.800 In the world, in society

00:16:46.320 In your country, wherever you are

00:16:48.000 There's some rich people

00:16:51.180 Or even just middle class people

00:16:54.580 Or even working class people

00:16:56.180 That have got a little something

00:16:57.460 That they need to be robbed of that

00:17:00.460 To make the world fairer

00:17:03.460 It's mad isn't it, it's disgusting

00:17:09.160 And Burnham's more left than him

00:17:12.200 More left than him

00:17:13.380 And look at what we've achieved

00:17:15.920 In just two years

00:17:17.660 An economy that is stronger

00:17:20.860 going faster than our peers it's not stronger it's not stronger that's that's just not true

00:17:26.940 like our economy grew by like something like 0.3 percent and that again that's if you measure it in

00:17:34.020 a really really specific way to make it that's the rosiest possible spin you could put on our

00:17:41.100 economy 0.3 that's that's flatlined that's dead that's what that is that's basically dead

00:17:48.680 He's going to talk about a strong economy

00:17:52.280 In fact, there's an article, quite a good article in the Mail

00:18:00.840 It talks about a reality versus claim thing in the Mail

00:18:07.180 He said, an economy that is stronger, growing faster than our peers

00:18:10.740 The reality is the UK economy grew 0.6% in the first quarter of this year

00:18:16.540 Sorry, 0.6%

00:18:18.680 that's for the whole quarter by the way i think in the last month it was 0.3

00:18:23.960 okay uh faster than any other g7 country but the bank of england said the figure overstated growth

00:18:31.560 and britain has not led the g7 in any other quarter since labor came to power

00:18:39.880 the international monetary fund predicts that the uk will grow by just one percent this year

00:18:44.040 behind the us and canada labor's manifesto also targeted gdp growth per head but last year the uk

00:18:50.440 lagged behind the us and japan on this measure meanwhile inflation and the cost of borrowing

00:18:54.440 on bond markets is the highest in the g7 yeah it's gonna say that we've got a strong economy

00:19:04.120 everyone knows we haven't got a strong economy everyone knows it's okay let's carry on wages

00:19:13.960 rising faster than inflation in every single month since we came to power and that spin

00:19:21.360 that spin like you can say that because it did like once wages are growing quicker than inflation

00:19:29.620 but only just latest official figures show pay in real terms after taking into account the cost

00:19:35.060 of living is climbing by just 0.3 percent again like the tiniest tiniest slither of amount that

00:19:43.160 is down sharply from 3.3 percent when labor came to power see so it's got worse under his watch

00:19:50.120 but if you phrase it a certain way you can say you can spin it that it's actually a good thing

00:19:56.040 in some way it's not all right well let's get through it a bit faster shall we let's just let

00:20:02.060 him speak for a few more minutes investment secured infrastructure being built uh sorry no

00:20:08.460 the hs2 thing is he talking about is he what infrastructure what infrastructure those

00:20:14.000 infrastructures collapsed the high street has collapsed but the hs2 thing it's going to take

00:20:18.560 it's going to take until the 2040s because like over 100 billion pounds what are you talking about

00:20:24.160 mate an end to austerity with the fastest fall in nhs waiting lists for 17 years once again if you

00:20:34.140 haven't got the trend by now. They can only say it fell because they just wrote 600,000

00:20:41.300 people off. See how you can do that? It's the fastest fall in waiting lists. There's

00:20:48.240 still like 7 million, 6, 7 million people on waiting lists. But it's the fastest fall

00:20:52.560 in 17 years. Yeah, because you cheated. Because you decided to just take 600,000 people and

00:20:58.940 say, do you still need your treatment? Oh, we haven't heard from you. So no, you're

00:21:03.300 off you're done go on right fastest fooling figures ever we win that's a win for our government

00:21:08.460 disgusting the biggest improvement in rights for workers and renters in a generation

00:21:16.560 communism that's commie socialist pinko parlour pinko champagne socialist nonsense

00:21:24.020 again anyone that owns anything you're their enemy you're their enemy the biggest uplift in

00:21:32.240 defence spending since the cold war amazing amazing part of why his whole government collapses

00:21:44.440 to do with military spending isn't it once again do you get you've seen the trend here

00:21:51.320 if you say it very very specifically like that you can you can make the make that sort of argument

00:21:58.940 But in fact spending on our military

00:22:01.540 Is massively underfunded

00:22:03.360 Massively, obviously so

00:22:04.760 To the point where our generals are pulling their hair out

00:22:07.260 And his own defence secretary had to quit

00:22:09.360 And everyone from Trump on down

00:22:12.260 Is saying what are you doing, this is mad

00:22:14.300 Like how everyone's saying

00:22:15.700 Why are you spending all your money on welfare

00:22:18.860 And none, not enough

00:22:20.880 On defence

00:22:21.760 But he'll stand there and say

00:22:23.240 The most in a generation or whatever

00:22:25.160 Delusional

00:22:27.960 absolute delusion pathetic it's not fooling anyone small boat crossings falling asylum hotel

00:22:35.900 so the highest peak was like 2022 or 2024 and at the moment it's like just under that

00:22:45.700 just under it a few hundred under for this time of year of the highest peak of all time

00:22:53.100 This year could well be the highest small boat invasion of any year

00:22:58.140 Could still be

00:22:58.820 If quite a few come over

00:23:00.740 In fact there was higher winds for quite a few days during spring

00:23:04.060 Which otherwise the numbers would be the highest of all time

00:23:07.000 But he's saying it's down

00:23:07.920 Now if you phrase it just that way

00:23:09.820 It's down

00:23:10.700 Oh is it

00:23:12.300 Just off the highest peak of all time

00:23:15.060 Look at his face pleading for you to believe him

00:23:22.900 Hotels closing, protecting young people from social media and half a million children being lifted out of poverty because of the choices that I made.

00:23:38.360 It's the cap, the cap on two children welfare stuff.

00:23:43.880 Just rewarding people that have got loads and loads of kids that can't afford to have them.

00:23:48.880 again another socialist thing taking money off the working people and giving it to people that

00:23:55.720 have got too many kids can't afford to raise their again a socialist thing

00:24:03.040 all right let's let him speak for a bit here our reputation in the world restored with britain

00:24:15.140 once again standing up for decency respect and the rule of law securing trade deals standing with

00:24:24.580 ukraine standing up for our values nobody asked you to stand with ukraine nobody in this country

00:24:31.860 really unless they're a weirdo shill weirdo globalist shield no one cares about ukraine

00:24:37.700 really like that's something to boast about giving the most corrupt government in in the world

00:24:44.180 billions to embezzle

00:24:46.300 Making Britain great

00:24:49.940 on the world stage

00:24:51.980 he said there, didn't he?

00:24:53.400 Or what's that effect?

00:24:55.160 No, we're a laughing stock

00:24:56.680 A laughing stock

00:24:58.700 Trying to give away the Chagos Islands

00:25:02.400 Just trying to give it away

00:25:04.260 To a proxy country of China

00:25:07.300 But you're going to stand there

00:25:10.560 and say you've made Britain important again

00:25:12.640 on the world stage

00:25:13.500 and rebuilding our relationship with our allies in europe change promised by a labor government

00:25:23.560 change fought for by a labor government change delivered by a labor government

00:25:29.820 but i know the question being asked now is not who was best placed to change the labor party

00:25:40.660 to take us into power and to begin the vital work of improving lives for millions of people.

00:25:47.780 Those questions have been answered.

00:25:51.540 The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.

00:26:02.560 I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question.

00:26:08.480 and i accept that answer with good grace every decision i've taken i mean not that much good

00:26:18.740 grace really you held on much longer than most would have done after your cabinet started

00:26:25.180 resigning and the polls showed you the most unpopular prime minister of all time for centuries

00:26:31.100 and that shellacking labor got in the local elections wasn't with that much good grace

00:26:37.640 be honest has been about putting the country i love first sorry sorry i just don't believe

00:26:46.600 that i just simply don't believe that he put the country that he loves first no

00:26:52.100 it looks like you did everything you could to undermine it

00:26:56.560 it looks like that's what you did because okay so he goes on he doesn't mention any of the

00:27:02.340 failures they're supposed to be all his successes in government that's supposed to be a laundry

00:27:06.700 List of all the great things he achieved

00:27:08.720 In two years of government

00:27:10.000 No mention not that you

00:27:14.320 Probably would, well if he's fair minded

00:27:16.320 If he's in good grace you might actually

00:27:18.400 Mention all the things that he failed on

00:27:20.960 In this article they list a few of them

00:27:26.280 Do you remember when he first got into power there was that

00:27:28.480 Freebie scandal

00:27:30.060 That Lord Ali had just given him and his wife

00:27:34.500 Loads of money to buy clothes

00:27:36.000 Or just loads of clothes

00:27:36.920 Thousands of pounds worth of clothes

00:27:39.020 The Mandelson Affair

00:27:40.320 What was that?

00:27:43.520 That he gave this sort of foreign agent

00:27:46.200 Effectively working on behalf of a foreign agent

00:27:48.900 Is that not what Peter Mandelson was?

00:27:54.840 He's giving market sensitive and politically sensitive information to a foreigner

00:27:58.600 Jeffrey Epstein

00:27:59.960 So what is that if that's not espionage

00:28:04.140 If that's not spying

00:28:05.040 and Keir Starmer picked him terrible political acumen no judge of character whatsoever

00:28:11.280 no mention of that soft justice letting up to 60,000 prisoners out of jail early

00:28:17.040 a two-tier justice system don't tell me there's not a two-tier justice system in this country

00:28:21.660 we try and clear clear up a lake a river and you go to prison for it

00:28:26.100 Sam Melio banged up for putting stickers up the judge himself saying you haven't actually

00:28:31.000 committed a crime but we're going to bang you up anyway but then actual sex criminals pedophiles

00:28:37.340 sometimes not getting custodial sentences they're out and put on a course to teach them right from

00:28:42.860 wrong don't tell me there's not two-tier justice system in this country ballooning welfare an

00:28:48.640 insane amount of money spent on welfare putting our invaders up in hotels and giving them phones

00:28:54.940 and free money, our invaders, youth worklessness, record taxes, destroying the high street,

00:29:02.640 doctor's strikes, school fees, not to mention the Chagos Island thing, the trying to give,

00:29:08.240 what treason is that, what treason is that, the Chinese embassy thing, the ID cards, that

00:29:16.660 alone, that push, that attempt to force ID cards on us, that's evil, that was evil, Josh

00:29:30.480 Simmons, he was all part of that, the guy that's to the side for Andy Burnham, he was

00:29:39.020 a big part of all that, that ID card push.

00:29:46.660 Evil

00:29:48.260 Again I don't use that word

00:29:50.400 I don't use that word lightly

00:29:51.960 Evil

00:29:52.380 Or treason

00:29:54.580 I do reserve it for when I really think that's the case

00:29:58.580 But he's going to stand there and say

00:30:02.660 He did everything he thought was in the interest of the country he loves

00:30:06.620 I don't buy that

00:30:07.340 I don't believe that

00:30:08.080 No

00:30:08.260 It looks like you hate us the people

00:30:12.600 It feels like and looks like you hate us

00:30:16.100 You want to dominate us

00:30:17.900 Grind us under your socialist heel

00:30:20.740 And ruin our economy

00:30:23.780 Ruin our society

00:30:26.060 The fabric of our society

00:30:27.460 Doing away with jury trials

00:30:29.300 Allowing us to be

00:30:31.680 At more safe and legal roots

00:30:33.580 Allowing us to be invaded

00:30:34.660 Legally and illegally

00:30:35.780 Saying you're deporting loads more people

00:30:40.260 Than the Tories ever did

00:30:41.040 But it's still a tiny, tiny, tiny trickle

00:30:42.720 Ruining us demographically

00:30:44.820 You're locking in a secretarian nightmare, a tribal racial and religious secretarian nightmare.

00:30:49.220 No, I don't believe that you love this country or we're acting in its best interest.

00:30:54.140 I don't buy that.

00:30:56.280 You're going to stand there and say that.

00:31:00.260 I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.

00:31:04.280 Brilliant.

00:31:04.880 Good.

00:31:05.040 I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.

00:31:10.120 I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable

00:31:16.460 with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the Summer Recess.

00:31:23.300 In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament

00:31:28.440 returns in September.

00:31:31.620 I will remain in post as Prime Minister until the contest is complete, and I will do everything

00:31:38.180 I can to ensure an orderly handover of power.

00:31:43.740 I will also give my successor my full and unequivocal support, knowing that they will

00:31:49.560 inherit a Britain that is far stronger and fairer than the one I inherited two years

00:31:55.140 ago, better prepared for the challenges ahead and better able to ensure the Labour Party

00:32:00.840 secures a second term in office.

00:32:05.160 I want to thank all of those friends and colleagues

00:32:08.840 who have been at my side for these past six years or so

00:32:13.080 for their incredible commitment, service, and support.

00:32:18.080 I want to thank the brilliant number 10 staff

00:32:20.840 and our country's extraordinary civil service

00:32:23.820 who dedicate their lives to public service.

00:32:26.780 Do they? Do they?

00:32:28.180 And when I leave the biggest job in the country,

00:32:31.080 I shall spend more time on the most important job.

00:32:36.000 Being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Fig,

00:32:40.860 who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad.

00:32:46.200 And being the best dad I can to my beautiful children,

00:32:50.540 who are my pride and my joy.

00:32:53.520 Thank you very much.

00:32:57.120 Yeah, OK, mate. OK.

00:32:59.120 Get in the dustbin of history now

00:33:01.320 Off you go

00:33:02.000 Go on

00:33:02.600 Off you trot

00:33:05.240 Disgusting loser

00:33:08.840 One of the weakest people I've ever known

00:33:11.500 To be in power

00:33:12.420 It's funny actually

00:33:18.460 It's interesting when you see

00:33:21.460 Not just in British politics

00:33:23.580 In the last 15, 20 years or something

00:33:25.060 But even throughout all of history

00:33:27.060 There's certain things

00:33:29.040 particularly in military history when you're the guy at the top when the buck stops with you when

00:33:34.940 you're the co you're the actual commanding officer there's no one above you you don't have a boss

00:33:41.400 the final decision on something is yours and yours alone right that's a lonely place in all

00:33:47.860 sorts of ways right you can be a co on the ground and just be a major right in a big war of course

00:33:54.120 you'd be a field marshal or general or something in politics of course it's like the leader

00:33:58.200 right but so the point i'm trying to make here is that there's a there's an ocean of difference

00:34:04.000 between being number two and the and being number one right loads and loads and loads of people look

00:34:13.860 really good as two i see second in command in and around the orbit of power loads of loads of people

00:34:21.020 can do that you look like you would be great if you were given the top job and then you get the

00:34:28.340 top job and you realize you just don't have the skills you don't have the abilities you haven't

00:34:33.120 got the type of character you haven't got the right mind the right world view to do it to pull

00:34:39.400 it off right so someone like tony blair for example for better or worse i hate the guy

00:34:47.120 but he could do it right he was capable of doing it i hated his agenda i hate what he did to britain

00:34:52.820 but he was capable of doing it he was comfortable in his own skin he was comfortable in that job

00:34:58.820 he had a vision he had a set of policies i hated them but he had them right

00:35:03.800 you say the same for david cameron he was obviously quite comfortable in that role

00:35:10.420 a lot of them aren't right this trust wasn't obviously not this trust Theresa May Theresa

00:35:17.740 May wasn't Rishi wasn't Gordon Brown wasn't a lot of them aren't John Major wasn't particularly

00:35:22.820 right Keir Starmer one of the worst I've ever seen one of the worst again in military history

00:35:31.000 going back centuries sometimes you find a guy and he's a great great general but he's never

00:35:35.420 actually being a co on the ground he's never commanded an army or an army group he's been a

00:35:40.680 great he's been a great general officer his whole career been a great soldier you put him in command

00:35:47.440 i'm thinking of something like dalrymple some of the commanders in the peninsula war you give them

00:35:52.020 the top job their co and they crumble and they can't do it they don't know how to act how to

00:35:57.540 behave they've got nothing it turns out they're nothing they were laughing all along a sort of a

00:36:04.180 great man a leader of men when finally they're given their chance to show what they're worth

00:36:09.600 they've got nothing they're empty right that's that's what Keir Starber is isn't it he was

00:36:17.100 capable of like being a lawyer in the CPS even being the head of the CPS he was capable at being

00:36:23.860 an MP being the leader of the opposition even because that's that's simple being the leader

00:36:29.440 of the opposition simple all you got to do is just criticize the government you can say whatever

00:36:33.980 you want to say make up almost anything you want to make up you never have to fulfill it or anything

00:36:38.080 all the weapons right you're right next to power the pinnacle of power the cockpit of power you're

00:36:43.960 right next to it you look like you're a guy the guy you look like you could do it and then when

00:36:48.600 you get there finally you're actually there in the big seat and you crumble nothing it was all a larp

00:36:58.300 I've never seen

00:37:01.360 A more abject case of that

00:37:03.720 Than Sir Keir Starlin

00:37:06.080 Just not capable of it

00:37:11.060 Was he?

00:37:12.980 To dominate the big beasts

00:37:14.820 In his party

00:37:15.660 To dominate his own backbenchers

00:37:18.140 To have a world view

00:37:19.200 To have a policy platform

00:37:20.360 That made any sense

00:37:21.400 That he was prepared to push through

00:37:23.340 And make happen

00:37:24.560 No, none of it

00:37:25.560 None of that

00:37:26.660 None of that

00:37:27.940 Apparently according to insiders

00:37:31.000 He would spend a lot of time

00:37:32.980 During his tenure at number 10

00:37:35.140 Not doing stuff

00:37:37.040 Sitting in a private office

00:37:39.320 One of the private offices in number 10

00:37:41.520 Just not seeing people

00:37:43.380 Not talking to people

00:37:44.360 Not really doing the business of government

00:37:48.480 Just stumbling through from day to day

00:37:50.820 Reacting to headlines

00:37:52.960 Just that

00:37:53.600 He's got no imagination

00:37:57.200 That's what a load of people said about him

00:37:58.620 That he's not

00:37:59.740 There's been a book written

00:38:01.280 And there was various excerpts

00:38:03.120 In I think the Telegraph or the Times

00:38:04.740 Saying that he's not curious

00:38:08.700 When something or other happens

00:38:11.620 Or there's something big

00:38:12.580 Some sort of policy agenda

00:38:13.840 Something big comes across his table

00:38:15.740 One way or another

00:38:16.300 That he's not curious about it

00:38:18.400 He doesn't ask anyone

00:38:19.900 Why is this the way it is?

00:38:22.160 Why are we here now?

00:38:23.680 What's going on?

00:38:25.480 No

00:38:26.000 that's so weird he's like a robot like a broken robot

00:38:32.760 he's going to stand up there and tell us that he did everything he could

00:38:40.660 for the country he loves

00:38:48.500 insane gaslighting it's gaslighting it's just delusional

00:38:51.840 Oh, revolting

00:38:55.480 Now he's going to go off and be a father and a dad

00:38:57.900 Well, good, good

00:38:58.700 That's about your speed

00:39:00.400 Yeah, that's about your speed

00:39:02.220 Again, he said his kids just take the mickey out of him all the time

00:39:07.020 Yeah, I believe that

00:39:08.120 Yeah

00:39:09.400 You can't even lead your own family

00:39:13.460 His weirdo wife, stroke handler

00:39:17.820 Tells him what to do and what to think, I think

00:39:20.180 Right?

00:39:20.820 Very often

00:39:21.860 Yeah, go off and be with her

00:39:24.260 Ugh

00:39:25.920 Alright

00:39:29.180 Should we whip through the headlines

00:39:31.080 It's all the same stuff

00:39:33.420 It's all the same stuff

00:39:34.680 The Guardian, ooh

00:39:35.500 Guardian, gross

00:39:37.360 Smells like hot compost

00:39:40.680 Poor Starmer

00:39:42.740 He bows out

00:39:43.820 Oh no, poor him

00:39:45.520 Zero sympathy

00:39:47.780 The Mirror

00:39:49.280 Mirror's like weirdly, maybe not weirdly, but they're just really pro.

00:39:55.120 Well, look, their headline is, he stood up to Trump.

00:39:57.860 They've got Trump derangement syndrome.

00:39:59.700 The mirror has got Farage and Trump derangement syndrome real bad.

00:40:04.460 He stood up to Trump, lifted half a million kids out of poverty,

00:40:08.720 protected workers and renters, yet the failures were glaring

00:40:13.360 and magnified in our angry divided world.

00:40:17.120 In the end, a decent man tried his very best in an impossible job

00:40:21.480 He's not a decent man

00:40:23.400 He's not a decent man

00:40:25.240 He's a traitorous moron

00:40:27.860 A detriment to us in every possible way

00:40:33.180 A decent man tried his very best

00:40:35.620 Tried his very best to subvert us

00:40:37.820 Tried his very best to give away important assets to China, effectively

00:40:42.340 A decent man tried his very best

00:40:47.060 shut up the mirror make me sick oh look there's smug bum ham

00:40:55.060 smug no sternum burnham thinks he's gonna save britain he's gonna save the labor party

00:41:00.180 and lead them to a great victory at the next general election look at the state of these look

00:41:06.260 at the state of them really

00:41:09.540 Okay

00:41:13.100 Oh look

00:41:15.260 Tim Stanley's got something to say

00:41:16.880 Oh yeah don't care

00:41:18.060 Cretinous little shill

00:41:20.460 Okay the Daily Mail

00:41:23.240 No sternum burnum there

00:41:25.640 Messiah without a mandate

00:41:28.280 That's what they go with

00:41:29.280 Just a cavalcade of commies

00:41:34.520 Idiot commies

00:41:36.020 the financials oh look alan greenspan alan greenspan's dead he's 100 years old

00:41:43.720 who's alan greenspan jack i suppose you don't have you heard the name do you know does that

00:41:50.480 mean anything to you nope okay okay just to say then alan greenspan was um chairman of the federal

00:41:58.940 reserve for years and years and years and years and years like from what like the reagan days

00:42:04.500 until the credit crunch or like 1987 or odd i think i read this morning was it

00:42:09.380 to like 2006 he was the chairman of the federal reserve so

00:42:16.100 super super important and even after that even after he was kicked upstairs because of the uh

00:42:21.380 because of the credit crunch or the what was it the subprime mortgage

00:42:26.580 debacle in america ben ben benacki took over lots of people said it just was the case that

00:42:32.020 alan greenspan was still super important still basically sort of the informal de facto

00:42:39.620 ahead of it in many ways people like ben bernacki and others were still just asking his opinion on

00:42:44.020 everything all the time so okay super super super important financier economist more than that you

00:42:50.900 know like a power broker um super important all right he's dead at a hundred um many saying you

00:42:59.060 He's one of the greatest of all time to ever do it

00:43:01.300 What a mastermind

00:43:02.720 What a great

00:43:03.960 What a great great mind he was

00:43:07.720 No I don't think so

00:43:10.660 Isn't the US national debt

00:43:13.220 Now something like 39 or 40

00:43:15.240 Trillion dollars

00:43:16.860 If Alan Greenspan's got any sort of legacy

00:43:22.000 It's that isn't it

00:43:23.000 All through the 1990s

00:43:29.060 and the early 2000s.

00:43:35.160 The net result of it all

00:43:36.840 is the United States' national debt

00:43:41.120 is an insane number.

00:43:44.100 $40 trillion.

00:43:45.680 Trillion.

00:43:47.160 That doesn't make any sense.

00:43:48.480 That's got no bearing on reality at this point.

00:43:51.820 $40 trillion.

00:43:53.920 Isn't that like more than all the fiat money

00:43:56.320 in the whole world?

00:43:57.320 Like, in fact, many times over or something

00:43:59.780 40 trillion

00:44:00.900 That doesn't

00:44:03.800 That's an

00:44:04.440 That's an absurd number

00:44:07.080 That doesn't

00:44:08.140 It created

00:44:11.060 The biggest house of cards

00:44:13.080 Ever

00:44:14.360 In all of human civilization

00:44:16.420 Well done, Alan

00:44:17.880 Well done

00:44:20.860 When the whole world's economy collapses

00:44:23.660 Because America's economy collapses

00:44:25.160 When that happens

00:44:27.060 It's not if, when.

00:44:29.920 Historians 200 years later or whatever will look back

00:44:31.980 and they'll say, how did that happen?

00:44:33.100 Like when they look back at World War I,

00:44:34.300 how did that happen?

00:44:34.920 How did we get to the guns of August 1914?

00:44:38.700 Let's have a look at everything that led up to that.

00:44:42.300 They'll do that and historians,

00:44:44.860 financial economic historians,

00:44:46.120 will look at someone like Alan Greenspan

00:44:47.780 and say someone like him did it,

00:44:53.660 oversaw that process that led to that

00:44:56.340 In all sorts of ways

00:44:57.360 Oh

00:45:00.440 But he's dead at 100

00:45:01.700 And we must remember a great man

00:45:03.240 I don't think so

00:45:04.960 I don't think so mate

00:45:06.260 Okay

00:45:07.440 The times

00:45:08.440 Burnham Angles for power

00:45:09.860 Okay

00:45:10.260 Same old stuff

00:45:11.160 The sun

00:45:11.720 Bit of football

00:45:13.720 Jeremy Clarkson

00:45:14.560 It's going to be really hot

00:45:15.920 So

00:45:16.920 Make sure you keep

00:45:17.900 Hydrated

00:45:18.800 Jeremy Clarkson

00:45:20.280 He thinks it's all over

00:45:22.080 And it definitely is

00:45:23.360 For Starmer

00:45:23.860 Remember the

00:45:24.580 Think it's all over thing

00:45:25.660 They think it's all over it is now

00:45:27.020 Remember that

00:45:27.520 They're going with that again

00:45:28.800 But for politics this time

00:45:32.540 Regime change

00:45:38.340 Yeah

00:45:38.580 Yeah it is regime change

00:45:40.580 Andy Burnham on Twitter

00:45:43.800 Trying to say it's not a political coup d'etat

00:45:45.740 Yes it is

00:45:46.440 Of course it is

00:45:47.180 It's exactly what it is

00:45:48.860 Alright

00:45:49.700 The Daily Star

00:45:51.840 Go with almost the exact same image

00:45:53.860 King of the North and South

00:45:55.340 great okay the express it's a good paper you can read your express now so they say they give some

00:46:01.260 ever so slightly different today marks 10 years since britain voted to leave the eu as starmer

00:46:06.140 finally falls on his sword and britain faces a lurch to the left under burnham we call for

00:46:10.620 politicians to finally believe in brexit and deliver the will of the people express crusade

00:46:16.700 give us a proper brexit we might think oh yeah that's that's like that's cool that's right

00:46:23.500 leaning that's patriotic that's sort of even populist or something that's good the express

00:46:29.580 are sort of on our side as the people no they're not no they're not they're just as subversive as

00:46:36.940 all the other papers when press comes to shove there's an actual party like restore that is

00:46:44.460 concerned about demographic change or anything like that they'll try and destroy them like all the other

00:46:48.460 the papers. Okay, they're the front pages. Should we have a look at our poll? Should

00:46:58.240 we have a quick look at the price of oil? We do that on this show, don't we? It was

00:47:02.300 interesting to note. Price of oil today, West Texas, just shy of $73 a barrel. Brent crude

00:47:09.720 about $76, shy of $77 a barrel. So less than it cost at the beginning of the Iran war.

00:47:18.460 now okay why does it still cost so much at the pump well it's a good question isn't it good

00:47:28.540 question all right should we have a look at our poll what did we do for the poll today

00:47:34.780 if you bring it up for me jack okay we asked you guys how long will the burn and bump last right so

00:47:42.300 quite nearly always when some new leader comes in they get a bit of a bump

00:47:45.820 of popularity, almost without fail. Most reasonable people, unless you are their absolute political

00:47:55.300 enemy, will give them a little bit of time, whether it's a few days, weeks, or months,

00:48:00.660 a little bit of time to see if they do great things straight off the bat.

00:48:06.280 Get a bump in popularity. How long will the burn and bump last, we asked.

00:48:10.380 Well if it was one day

00:48:13.260 One month

00:48:15.140 Three months or six months

00:48:16.560 1300 odd people voted in that

00:48:19.060 Thanks for voting, thanks for getting involved

00:48:20.440 Okay, it's pretty split

00:48:22.440 13% of you say one day

00:48:24.580 32% of you say one month

00:48:26.560 27% of you say three months

00:48:28.520 28% of you say six months

00:48:30.860 So it's pretty split

00:48:32.860 I hope

00:48:33.960 I don't know of course, I hope he doesn't get any

00:48:36.320 I hope he doesn't get any

00:48:39.180 I hope

00:48:40.380 Someone, whether it's that Al Cairns or whether it's that Jones fella

00:48:46.880 Someone, or West Street, someone in the party does actually force him, Andy Burnham

00:48:51.640 To go through a leadership election

00:48:53.480 Just to make it more of a debacle for Labour

00:49:00.020 And then he has no bump whatsoever

00:49:02.740 People just are immediately attacking him

00:49:05.040 His own party and the country and the mainstream media

00:49:07.660 Are all just attacking him from all sides at all times

00:49:10.080 That's what I hope

00:49:11.520 I don't give him any

00:49:13.980 Any breathing space

00:49:15.440 Why should we?

00:49:16.840 Why should we?

00:49:17.320 If he's not going to call a general election

00:49:18.420 He's got no mandate

00:49:19.260 He's a cuckoo in the nest

00:49:21.360 A usurper

00:49:22.960 A phony

00:49:25.960 A fake

00:49:26.600 He wasn't even an MP was he

00:49:29.200 When they won this election

00:49:30.600 No one voted for him

00:49:33.100 Quite literally no one voted for him

00:49:34.820 Well

00:49:34.960 Other than the good people of Makerfield

00:49:37.760 No one asked for him

00:49:39.740 This is a completely contrived Westminster thing

00:49:43.820 Utterly contrived from the left wing of the Labour Party

00:49:48.880 That Burnham will rule you now

00:49:57.140 Pinko Northern Andy Bumham

00:50:00.300 That he will be your political master now

00:50:05.540 You don't get a say in that

00:50:09.740 yeah don't give him an inch

00:50:11.240 oh it's horrible people hate it they don't they people hate it just as i've expressed there

00:50:20.020 hopefully it does mean like rishi they get trounced at the ballot box next time

00:50:27.120 that's why it's not necessarily a bad thing ultimately i mean other than the fact that

00:50:34.160 it might make red ed miller band the chancellor and they will

00:50:37.200 tank our economy even further much further which obviously is not like i'm not really

00:50:43.080 an accelerationist i've got some accelerationist sympathies i see the arguments and to a small

00:50:51.480 extent even agree with some of them i get it i hate to see my country damaged though

00:50:57.240 this amount of accelerationism if you can call it that burnham becoming the prime minister

00:51:03.480 maybe it's worth it if it means Labour get absolutely annihilated at the ballot box next time

00:51:09.840 all right it's already gone 10-2 should we do on this day in history should we do that bit

00:51:17.640 I don't mind doing that bit I quite like doing that bit you guys seem to like me doing that bit

00:51:21.220 let's end out the show with that what happened down through the centuries on this day of note

00:51:25.640 June the 23rd in the year 390 world's oldest parliament the Icelandic parliament is established

00:51:32.280 The Althling

00:51:33.980 As in English

00:51:35.260 The Anglicised version of it

00:51:36.400 Yeah they always say that

00:51:37.280 They quite often say that

00:51:38.160 The British Parliament

00:51:39.060 Is the second oldest

00:51:41.680 That's what you'll quite often hear

00:51:43.640 Heard said

00:51:44.820 When you ask

00:51:46.900 Oh the second oldest

00:51:47.600 Oh

00:51:47.880 Would have been nice to be the oldest

00:51:49.760 What is the oldest then

00:51:50.760 Out of interest

00:51:51.360 Iceland

00:51:53.280 When you go back that far though

00:51:58.060 When you go back to the 10th century

00:51:59.620 It's not a parliament as we know it

00:52:03.000 In any way

00:52:03.700 Alright

00:52:04.900 Could go into that in some detail

00:52:08.660 But won't

00:52:09.320 On this day in 1868

00:52:11.880 Christopher Latham Scholes

00:52:13.800 Patents the Scholes and Glyden typewriter

00:52:17.260 The first commercially successful of its kind

00:52:19.360 Not really that interested

00:52:20.680 How the QWERTY keyboard was born

00:52:23.180 You know QWERTY

00:52:24.040 Isn't that the letters across the top of a keyboard

00:52:27.020 that's right isn't it jack q w e r t y they're the letters yep yeah qwerty yeah you ever thought

00:52:35.680 why are the letters on a keyboard set out like that why is that who came up with that

00:52:40.760 it's like there's there's some sorts of reasons for it you can find keyboards you can find them

00:52:46.560 that are set out in in a different configuration but they're rarer aren't they anyway that's not

00:52:50.900 all that interesting is it okay on this i don't think so anyway on this day in 1960 first

00:52:56.040 contraceptive pill was made available for purchase in the United States. Yeah, women's lib.

00:53:03.500 Was it a great thing ultimately? That divides opinion, doesn't it?

00:53:11.060 Was it brilliant and started a new age that was just positive?

00:53:16.540 Or not

00:53:19.000 Burning bras

00:53:21.500 With a contraceptive pill

00:53:23.700 Absolutely equal rights across the board

00:53:27.300 Is it great that we live in a feminised society now

00:53:38.880 Where lots of society is dominated by

00:53:41.220 Girl bosses

00:53:42.640 i'll let you decide

00:53:46.720 okay on this day in 1972 hurricane agnes becomes america's costliest natural disaster affecting 15

00:53:55.360 states and 119 deaths and three billion dollars of damage must be i don't remember that one that's

00:54:00.660 before my time wasn't born yet don't really remember that one not really remembered much

00:54:05.420 in popular consciousness i don't think perhaps if you live in one of those states it is

00:54:08.820 I don't know much about that

00:54:11.140 Okay, in 1983, Solidarity leader Lech Walesia

00:54:15.020 I'm probably pronouncing that incorrectly

00:54:16.660 Meets Pope John Paul II during papal visits to Poland

00:54:19.400 Yeah, that was the guy, I believe

00:54:21.320 He went on to be the first sort of Polish leader

00:54:25.860 After the Soviet collapse

00:54:28.500 Is that right? It's him, isn't it?

00:54:32.160 He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983

00:54:35.660 Oh yeah, and served as President of Poland from 1992

00:54:38.780 to 1995 right so Poland were one of the first to break away from the Soviet Union when Gorbachev

00:54:45.440 said you can have votes if you want and break away from the Soviet Union if you really want

00:54:50.340 a few countries immediately were like yes we want that we'll take that

00:54:53.520 Poland was one of those and he was their first leader I believe

00:54:57.380 so for Poles an important person on this day in 2016 exactly 10 years ago today

00:55:05.180 The United Kingdom votes in the Brexit referendum

00:55:08.180 To leave the European Union

00:55:09.560 God, ten years ago

00:55:11.860 It doesn't feel like that for me

00:55:14.100 It doesn't feel like that at all

00:55:17.300 It feels like only a few years ago

00:55:20.060 It feels like three or four years ago or something

00:55:21.880 Ten years, God

00:55:23.140 That went quick

00:55:24.060 That went quick

00:55:26.020 Yeah, as the Express said

00:55:28.040 It was never really done

00:55:31.020 The establishment hated it

00:55:32.780 They did everything they could to thwart it

00:55:34.880 and then not actually do it not actually lean into it and make the best out of it this this

00:55:41.740 very morning see ed davy on the news he's got like 70 80 odd mps just saying yeah if he got in power

00:55:48.420 he would just you just have closer and closer and closer ties to our european partners that's

00:55:54.860 that's the thing that will fix britain and fix our economy closer to undo brexit more closer to

00:56:00.400 that's what burnham's talked about a number of times and he kept it quiet during the campaign

00:56:04.140 at makefield didn't want to talk about that but that is his politics wants closer and closer ties

00:56:10.780 with europe get labor peers in the house of lords stand up and just say things like it's inevitable

00:56:16.800 we will undo brexit entirely rejoin the eu properly fully they hated it hated the idea

00:56:24.740 that parliament would be sovereign that we would be sovereign that we that we the people through

00:56:29.700 Our representatives in the commons have full control of what happens in our country

00:56:34.480 They hate that idea because they're globalists

00:56:36.700 Because they're traitors, subversives and globalists

00:56:39.320 Andy Burnham wants, one of the few things he's clear on

00:56:43.060 Is that he wants more and more devolution

00:56:44.960 Less and less power in Westminster

00:56:46.940 In my opinion, and most of the people watching the Bo Show, I imagine

00:56:54.900 A lot of your opinions

00:56:56.060 everything this country needs is the opposite of what

00:56:59.120 Burnham will do

00:56:59.800 he'll just go deeper and deeper deeper into the

00:57:04.940 Blairite project

00:57:05.920 the leftist economic

00:57:11.080 theory

00:57:11.540 the exact

00:57:15.040 opposite of what's required

00:57:16.280 ok

00:57:18.940 alright let's have a look at our

00:57:21.020 rumble rants and super chats

00:57:21.940 ok the rumble rants here

00:57:24.720 let's have a look on the other side of my screen today global church history yes

00:57:33.600 mr history first name global middle name church surname history mr history says

00:57:41.760 on this day in 1532 henry the eighth signed the pomeroy treaty

00:57:46.080 with his former rival france against his former ally the holy roman emperor

00:57:50.800 yeah so on bodade's epochs my history theme channel behind the paywall on

00:57:59.960 loadseaters.com do consider signing up for as little as five pound a month

00:58:02.440 on there i'm currently going through the life of henry the eighth i'm up to

00:58:07.820 like part four there'll be at least six or seven i

00:58:11.200 would have thought parts and that so hours and hours each

00:58:13.480 one's like an hour an hour and a bit or more so hours now it's going to be

00:58:17.060 talking about i have already started talking about

00:58:18.720 henry the eighth one of the key monarchs certainly the key monarch of uh i was going to say the key

00:58:26.240 monarch of the 16th century but i'd probably give that to elizabeth i don't know i don't know anyway

00:58:31.900 all right uh his daughter but yeah that treaty that's really important it's more than just a

00:58:36.400 treaty between friday secret actually more than just a treaty between france against spain the

00:58:43.000 holy roman emperor charles v holy roman emperor and king of spain um it was more than just

00:58:48.840 realigning that there's lots more going on to that it's about henry the eighth breaking from

00:58:58.140 rome becoming a protestant country breaking from the roman catholic church so that he could annul

00:59:03.660 his marriage to catherine of aragon and marry anne boleyn so he could have a boy because catherine

00:59:09.820 of Aragon was as barren as a brick not my words not my words he needed a boy he thought we don't

00:59:16.920 want to return to the Wars of the Roses I have to have a boy an heir at all costs at all costs

00:59:22.060 the Pope telling me I can't do that I have to remain married to Catherine of Aragon for all time

00:59:28.500 no oh and we have to give you money all the time and the monasteries are sort of dominating our

00:59:35.940 society in various ways. No, I'm not having any of that anymore. So in order to do all

00:59:40.320 that sort of thing, he needed to kind of be sure that he wouldn't be invaded by Catholic

00:59:49.240 countries. Get to secure his border with Scotland, secure his border with the French, make sure

00:59:57.260 he might not be invaded from the low countries or whatever. Because although Holland is famously

01:00:02.580 protestant isn't it it's actually like the spanish spanish netherlands at that point so there's much

01:00:09.940 i mean there's much more to that treaty than simply just

01:00:15.560 ticking off a new peace treaty with the french there's loads more going on there

01:00:21.240 that he and anne boleyn went over to calais um this is like the key moment he married anne boleyn

01:00:27.860 Not that long

01:00:29.420 A few months later

01:00:30.400 Six months later or so

01:00:31.760 He was putting the final touches

01:00:34.020 On his break with Rome

01:00:35.740 And his new marriage

01:00:38.540 And all that sort of thing

01:00:39.940 Fascinating

01:00:41.020 There's so much detail

01:00:41.760 So much detail to it

01:00:42.920 Okay

01:00:43.320 And the other factoid you've got there

01:00:44.680 You say

01:00:45.120 On this day in 1661

01:00:47.120 Charles II received Tangier and Bombay

01:00:50.480 As a dowry from Portugal

01:00:52.660 Right

01:00:54.280 A dowry

01:00:55.320 So what was it?

01:00:56.900 Who was his wife?

01:00:57.860 It's Catherine of Braganza, isn't it?

01:01:02.280 Charles II, yeah, Catherine of Braganza

01:01:03.960 The daughter of the king of Portugal

01:01:06.260 Finally, England has got a long and glorious and storied connection to Portugal

01:01:15.320 It's of the oldest alliances of all time

01:01:18.020 Maybe the oldest alliance of all time

01:01:20.460 Between England and Portugal

01:01:22.220 We both hate Spain, down through the centuries

01:01:27.420 The thing we've got in common

01:01:29.220 Is we fear and loathe Spain

01:01:31.120 Down through the centuries that is

01:01:33.800 Not so much these days of course

01:01:34.860 But

01:01:35.800 Alright yeah yeah

01:01:37.980 Catherine of Braganza

01:01:38.700 That was Charles II's wife wasn't it

01:01:40.200 Alright

01:01:40.760 Luke Street 91 says

01:01:43.500 G'day Bo

01:01:44.060 G'day mate

01:01:44.580 And everyone

01:01:46.640 How is everyone enjoying supper with Bo

01:01:48.580 This lovely Tuesday afternoon

01:01:50.060 Okay so it's in Australia

01:01:51.700 It's a completely different time of day of course

01:01:53.380 We went through Rudd Gillard

01:01:56.200 Rudd again

01:01:56.940 Tony then Malcolm

01:01:59.180 We had quite a lot infighting as well

01:02:01.820 Quite a lot of infighting as well

01:02:04.000 Oh right yeah all the different leaders of Australia

01:02:05.820 In the last few years

01:02:06.980 Seems the way doesn't it

01:02:09.660 The whole people that are all

01:02:11.960 In the leftist paradigm

01:02:13.420 And that includes like the Tory party

01:02:16.100 Absolutely the globalist leftist

01:02:18.260 Paradigm and the same going on

01:02:20.020 In Australia can't get their stuff together

01:02:22.200 Because their whole world view is

01:02:23.820 Crumbling isn't it

01:02:26.940 crumbling in the face of reality in all sorts of ways the next few are Luke again you say

01:02:34.820 I find it interesting in in Austria is effectively ruling like a that we say oh is that supposed to

01:02:43.840 be Australia or Austria there's some sort of typo there you probably mean Australia I find it

01:02:49.640 interesting in Australia it's effectively ruling like a dictator but seeing how every other party

01:02:55.080 labor and liberal constantly infighting i'll take a dictator over chaos any day then you say part one

01:03:01.740 part two another rumble rant says i found similar people complain about restore to be honest

01:03:08.080 having a leader that has good control and a clear vision i'll i'll take probably while i like

01:03:14.500 i'll take probably why i like the monarchy we know who is the replacement

01:03:19.880 okay basically just saying you'd rather a strong dictator than uh than a string of of weakling

01:03:31.200 people just rearranging the deck chairs ever so slightly on the titanic a lot of people agree with

01:03:37.800 you a lot of people agree with you okay pigdog5150 says i wonder if burnham's father was a roman

01:03:45.980 legionary

01:03:46.700 is that a

01:03:53.740 particular reference to something some meme or something

01:03:56.080 I don't know

01:03:59.900 sorry

01:04:00.820 that's a clever

01:04:03.180 reference to something I'm not sure

01:04:06.100 okay

01:04:08.520 oh maybe with the sandals

01:04:11.020 maybe

01:04:11.560 okay

01:04:13.680 Luke again says

01:04:16.020 He's probably using the same sort of accounting Chinese use

01:04:19.600 To say that their growth is amazing

01:04:21.500 Recommend you check out the video

01:04:24.220 From about three days ago

01:04:25.840 From China Uncensored about Chinese banks

01:04:28.540 Oh interesting, yeah

01:04:29.980 Josh Firm has made some content before

01:04:34.320 And written an article too I believe

01:04:36.140 And it's very interesting about

01:04:37.800 How the Chinese economy

01:04:39.560 People think it's insanely strong

01:04:42.440 It's a little bit of a house of cards as well

01:04:45.440 If the rest of the world

01:04:47.200 For whatever reason

01:04:48.200 Stopped buying all their manufactured goods

01:04:50.940 Their economy could well collapse

01:04:54.960 In all sorts of ways

01:04:55.640 If the US economy truly imploded

01:04:57.860 And collapsed

01:04:58.720 That reverberated around the world

01:05:03.460 The Chinese economy would also

01:05:04.800 There's loads of different

01:05:06.280 There are actually loads of different data points

01:05:08.680 About the Chinese economy and banking system

01:05:10.900 Which are unsound

01:05:12.380 put it that way yeah interesting maybe i will look up that video okay question 47 says every

01:05:20.360 time starmer delivers in his speech oh sorry every line starmer delivers in his speech is

01:05:26.520 utter drivel yeah it was wasn't it basically everything he said

01:05:30.600 what if everything he said was utter drivel yeah your words are exactly right utter drivel

01:05:38.480 what are you talking about bro what world are you living in okay luke again says do you really think

01:05:49.100 any bumham gonna do well especially with ireland starting to heap up heat up again and it looks

01:05:56.380 like scotland's starting to go full braveheart yeah i don't think andy burnham is strong at all

01:06:02.920 That's one of the things you would need

01:06:05.180 As a leader, isn't it

01:06:06.380 To have a steely resolve sometimes

01:06:10.700 In fact, often

01:06:11.560 Right

01:06:13.200 Think about Maggie Thatcher, for example

01:06:16.020 During the Falklands

01:06:18.160 That's a bit of a cliche

01:06:19.540 People that hate Thatcher

01:06:20.680 Roll their eyes at this

01:06:21.860 But

01:06:22.140 When the Argentinians invaded that

01:06:28.040 She said, no

01:06:30.100 No, no, no

01:06:31.980 I'm not having that

01:06:32.720 No

01:06:33.260 No we're going to put together a flotilla

01:06:35.740 And we're going to go down there

01:06:37.380 And we're going to take it back

01:06:38.240 Come what may

01:06:39.000 Come what the mainstream media say

01:06:40.740 Come what my political enemy says

01:06:42.700 Don't care what the UN says

01:06:44.180 Nothing

01:06:44.740 We're doing that

01:06:45.840 Tony Blair again

01:06:50.120 Hate the guy

01:06:50.700 Hate the guy

01:06:52.440 When it came to it

01:06:54.260 And he needed a bit of steely resolve

01:06:56.180 He had it

01:06:58.560 He would need it

01:06:59.960 That's something that Keir Starmer certainly hasn't got, is it?

01:07:06.000 He won't go to war with anyone or anything under any circumstances.

01:07:10.940 Politically or actually or, you know, whatever.

01:07:16.520 You need that to be a leader, right?

01:07:20.440 You're going to need it from time to time.

01:07:24.660 Has Andy Burnham got that?

01:07:26.720 Where he'll say, no, there's a lion in the sand

01:07:32.260 And come what may

01:07:35.600 I will not budge, I will not move

01:07:39.000 I doubt it, I doubt it, it doesn't seem like that

01:07:44.560 It seems like a lily-livered, weak-wristed

01:07:48.040 Empty shirt

01:07:50.640 A man without trousers

01:07:52.720 A room without a view

01:07:54.560 A weakling, another weakling

01:07:56.320 these double chins and he's a guy liner okay pig dog 5150 says stephen bray a really annoying man

01:08:07.880 who is a traitor who spends his time being really annoying likes another really annoying man who's

01:08:12.920 also a traitor starmer what a surprise yeah isn't that very telling that stephen bray

01:08:18.600 is a big big fan of keir starmer that's it tells you everything you need to know about

01:08:23.920 Stephen Bray and Remainers

01:08:26.100 Ramoners

01:08:27.500 They're pathetic people

01:08:30.440 Luke Stewart says

01:08:32.300 Polish member of the European Parliament

01:08:36.140 Dominic

01:08:36.900 Shrekzynski

01:08:38.440 Commented on Keir Stummer's resignation by writing

01:08:41.480 See you in court loser

01:08:43.080 I hope it's true

01:08:46.000 He's suing for being banned entry into UK

01:08:48.800 That's interesting

01:08:49.840 That's interesting

01:08:52.280 See you in court, loser

01:08:54.920 Okay

01:08:55.660 Acidhelm says

01:08:57.740 My emperor

01:08:58.820 Says, my emperor

01:09:02.940 I was 40 minutes late to the stream

01:09:04.680 Oh, you're calling me your emperor

01:09:05.880 Oh, that's kind of, I'm flattered

01:09:07.100 I was 40 minutes late to the stream

01:09:09.880 Forgive me

01:09:10.460 You are forgiven

01:09:12.920 I have failed you

01:09:16.280 Don't worry about it, mate

01:09:16.900 I have brought dishonour to my lion

01:09:19.800 No, no, all is forgiven

01:09:21.620 You have my blessing

01:09:23.420 I'll allow it

01:09:27.740 Okay

01:09:28.680 Luke Stewart

01:09:30.520 Last two are from Luke again

01:09:31.680 You say one

01:09:32.880 I'm amazed he resigned so quickly

01:09:35.620 I thought he would have stuck it out

01:09:37.280 Just to spite Trump

01:09:38.260 On the Daily

01:09:39.040 And on Daily Express

01:09:41.180 I wonder if they can feel the movement

01:09:42.800 Feel the movement coming from the right

01:09:45.260 Trying to stay in their grace

01:09:46.640 Maybe

01:09:48.500 Yeah

01:09:49.900 Do you remember David Lammy

01:09:50.900 Like a week or two ago

01:09:51.960 Maybe slightly longer

01:09:52.780 Came out his thing

01:09:53.540 I think the morning shows

01:09:55.340 On a Sunday saying

01:09:56.100 Keir Starmer will fight this

01:09:57.860 To the bitter end

01:09:58.520 He's the most resilient man

01:10:00.540 I've ever known

01:10:01.520 David Lammy said

01:10:02.560 The most resilient man

01:10:05.140 He's ever known

01:10:05.680 Well

01:10:05.940 When it finally came to the crunch

01:10:09.100 He just backed down didn't he

01:10:11.140 Then David Lammy said

01:10:13.840 That

01:10:14.520 Peter Mounson was a brilliant pick

01:10:18.480 For US ambassador

01:10:19.580 At the time

01:10:20.500 When it first happened

01:10:21.200 So David Lammy

01:10:22.520 One, doesn't know what he's talking about

01:10:25.120 At any

01:10:25.560 At all times

01:10:26.780 And two, will say whatever he's told to say

01:10:31.000 At all times

01:10:33.840 Just a complete cipher

01:10:38.280 For other people

01:10:40.080 Just a corruption machine really, isn't he?

01:10:44.240 who are all the people that give david lammy loads and loads of money all the time who are

01:10:52.860 they we know they do he declares it people we don't know who they are or what they expect in

01:10:58.380 return for giving him tens and tens of thousands of pounds oh yeah that's what's going on oh yeah

01:11:02.940 david lammy yeah is there some guy called george brown it was something brown

01:11:08.820 just gave lamby like 50 grand or something

01:11:12.320 when asked what's that about what's who's that and what did he get in return for that money

01:11:19.520 david lamby won't tell you

01:11:21.960 there's a word for that isn't there you could characterize that as corruption couldn't you

01:11:31.780 luke stewart again last one says i think the best rate way to phrase acceleration nowadays is

01:11:40.480 we can done it the easy way or the hard way

01:11:44.900 as you're supposed to guess you meant to put we we can do it the easy way or we can do it the hard

01:11:51.840 way and it sees and it seems everyone brackets normies chose the hard way right yeah

01:11:57.520 We are going to need

01:12:01.760 The normies to wake up

01:12:03.020 And not vote Labour

01:12:04.100 Aren't we

01:12:04.760 Yeah

01:12:08.180 Okay

01:12:09.320 Now the rubber out

01:12:11.520 We've got the

01:12:12.160 The actual super chats now

01:12:14.780 On YouTube

01:12:15.180 There's

01:12:16.220 Fair few

01:12:17.400 A dozen or so

01:12:18.120 Fifteen or so

01:12:18.800 Alright

01:12:19.320 Let's whip through them

01:12:20.420 Principled uncertainty says

01:12:22.220 I keep meeting people

01:12:23.760 Who tell me

01:12:24.500 They like Burnham

01:12:25.460 But they can never tell me why

01:12:27.080 The UK needs more than some colourful buses

01:12:30.180 Yeah, it's weird

01:12:32.040 A lot of people

01:12:33.060 Normal people who don't really pay attention to politics very closely

01:12:38.040 Have never actually formally studied it in any way

01:12:42.440 And don't even really follow the mainstream media news cycle

01:12:46.400 For what that's worth

01:12:47.660 Propaganda machine that that is

01:12:51.700 They don't even follow that

01:12:53.000 It's all just flies

01:12:54.960 they just see a headline every now and again catch a little bit of the news every now and again don't

01:13:00.000 really know what's going on they just see a face like aware of a name floating around

01:13:07.040 people that only really know nigel farage from i'm a celebrity get me out of here type of thing

01:13:14.160 normie boomers don't mean to have a pop of boomers based boomers are some of the

01:13:17.520 of the post-based people you get, but like a normie boomer type, BBC news watching, Radio

01:13:23.500 4 listening idiot. Oh, I remember Burnham from the Blair and Brown years. I remember

01:13:30.160 him. Yeah, he's got quite a kindly face. When you hear him speak, he's sort of softly spoken

01:13:35.140 and seems nice. That's it. That's the extent of their analysis. And their vote is the same

01:13:42.700 as ours worth the same what can you do but whenever you talk about bringing in some sort

01:13:50.260 of qualification for the franchise any sort of qualification for it you need to show that you

01:13:58.140 know anything about what's going on people go berserk about that if you go berserk about that

01:14:03.720 if you even talk about it even hypothetically they're just the concept of it they'll go berserk

01:14:08.400 Alright

01:14:13.600 I mean if you look at the ancient Athenian democracy

01:14:18.000 Look at the

01:14:19.340 You read Thucydides

01:14:21.800 You look at the democracy during the Peloponnesian War

01:14:26.680 The problem with Alcibiades

01:14:29.520 Oh Harry, sorry Harry, Jack, go to that camera

01:14:33.700 On my channel History Bro there

01:14:38.400 This is fake by the way

01:14:40.440 History Bro hasn't got 100,000 subscribers

01:14:42.400 It'd be nice if it did

01:14:43.340 Head over there

01:14:44.040 There's no paywall there

01:14:44.700 It's all free there

01:14:45.260 I do long form content

01:14:47.420 All about the Peloponnesian War

01:14:49.260 And Thucydides

01:14:49.920 In conversation with Mr Carl Benjamin

01:14:51.720 I think it's like five hours

01:14:53.160 We go through Thucydides in great detail

01:14:56.620 The ancient Athenian democracy

01:14:58.420 They came to the conclusion

01:15:02.100 That it was fundamentally flawed democracy

01:15:06.000 because of exactly those things i just said that you can just get a charismatic person

01:15:12.680 who's actually a danger doesn't really know what they're doing or talking about

01:15:17.760 but they are able to make normal people who aren't paying any attention have got no intention of

01:15:23.560 paying attention they can convince them that they do know what they're doing and they're the best

01:15:28.740 leader and the democracy votes them in and they lead the entire country into utter ruin

01:15:40.580 things like that have happened before in the past okay

01:15:47.780 calzetti says silver lining reeves is getting a p45

01:15:53.140 and i don't know that means you're becoming unemployed she's getting a p45

01:15:58.740 another with an embarrassing tearful display she's a woman though his blubbering was pathetic yeah

01:16:06.180 yeah i do think so if you're gonna if he's gonna have a little boo about it

01:16:11.540 do it behind closed doors probably that's my that's my feeling

01:16:16.740 Kick You In The Throat

01:16:21.840 That's their name

01:16:22.600 At Kick You In The Throat

01:16:23.780 Says being from the US

01:16:25.180 And loving England

01:16:26.020 I see 10,000 speech related arrests

01:16:28.340 In the UK each year

01:16:29.420 And I find it hard

01:16:30.640 Not to use my freedom of speech

01:16:32.160 To be a line stepper

01:16:34.380 After saying the right wing

01:16:37.000 Oh sorry

01:16:38.940 Often saying the right thing

01:16:41.900 In the wrong places

01:16:42.920 Yeah

01:16:45.260 No, I'm a bit jealous of people that live in the United States

01:16:48.020 For the First Amendment

01:16:50.320 We really, really, really can't say

01:16:54.420 What we truly think and believe in this country

01:16:57.100 In lots and lots of senses

01:16:58.420 It's quite a censorious society now

01:17:02.220 Yeah

01:17:03.600 That's where you get a lot of people on Twitter and stuff

01:17:10.860 People in the right-wing dissident sphere

01:17:14.040 And they actually live in South East Asia

01:17:16.900 Or America

01:17:18.540 And they can be a lot more forthright than we can

01:17:23.360 Because the UK police aren't going to knock at the door

01:17:26.220 Can't knock at the door

01:17:27.400 Yeah

01:17:30.160 Okay

01:17:32.700 Ranger1513 says

01:17:34.780 Great showbo, I appreciate your mentions

01:17:36.880 Your mentions of Baron Rothschild

01:17:39.300 Nathaniel Rothschild, the 5th Baron Rothschild

01:17:41.500 His clan have caused nothing but destruction

01:17:45.300 Feeling on Rupert's comments on ethnics

01:17:48.980 Yeah, disappointing

01:17:50.300 Rupert's comments on ethnics

01:17:52.640 Yeah, disappointing

01:17:53.620 If anyone doesn't know

01:17:54.900 He just completely equated ethno-nationalism and Nazism

01:17:58.580 As though they're completely the same thing

01:18:02.120 Me and Nate made a video about it on state of politics

01:18:06.440 Go to the disdain camp, Jack

01:18:07.600 Jack

01:18:11.500 on my other channel state of politics state of politics um me and nate made a video that

01:18:18.580 will go up today i think talking about that in detail we addressed it all in detail

01:18:21.500 um yes disappointing

01:18:23.140 i've said before i'll say it again i think there is an ethnic element to our national

01:18:30.080 identity i don't think people of completely foreign ethnicities can come to this country

01:18:36.140 And just be English

01:18:37.300 No

01:18:39.300 No

01:18:41.580 So in that strict definition then

01:18:45.040 Suppose you call me an ethno

01:18:47.380 I'm a nationalist

01:18:48.580 Proudly openly a nationalist

01:18:49.920 And I think there is an ethnic component

01:18:51.900 To our national identity

01:18:53.580 So okay

01:18:54.120 Does that make me a Nazi?

01:18:56.860 No

01:18:57.000 Surely there's some sort of spectrum isn't there?

01:19:02.800 But Rupert Rowe did seem to

01:19:04.280 Didn't he?

01:19:05.400 Did seem to just completely equate them all

01:19:08.120 And said he hated them all

01:19:09.560 A bit disappointing isn't it

01:19:13.620 Although

01:19:15.540 Many in the party came out and

01:19:18.780 Said that

01:19:22.040 There's more to it than that

01:19:24.140 And that Rupert actually is

01:19:26.180 Committed to our demographic

01:19:28.760 Fighting our demographic replacement

01:19:31.740 He wants the best for the country

01:19:33.740 And the native people

01:19:34.680 Of this country

01:19:36.160 And I believe that

01:19:36.760 I absolutely believe that

01:19:37.720 Okay

01:19:40.120 I think it was more

01:19:41.460 Just a little bit of a

01:19:42.660 Little bit of

01:19:44.080 Sort of lazy

01:19:45.260 Lazy definitions

01:19:47.700 From Rupert

01:19:48.780 I think

01:19:49.100 I completely believe

01:19:50.780 That he's a patriot

01:19:51.620 Utterly

01:19:52.800 Utterly believe

01:19:53.500 That he's a

01:19:54.320 Committed

01:19:55.280 Patriot

01:19:56.280 And wants the best

01:19:56.980 For his country

01:19:57.780 And his people

01:19:58.460 Completely believe that still

01:20:00.820 Okay

01:20:02.020 It's not

01:20:02.700 It's not enough

01:20:03.340 It's not even coming close

01:20:04.320 is enough for me

01:20:05.760 to throw the toys out of the pram

01:20:08.120 and stop being in the store

01:20:10.220 nowhere near

01:20:11.380 nowhere near

01:20:12.960 there's still by far the best party out there

01:20:14.920 that's actually got a realistic chance of winning seats

01:20:17.800 in my opinion

01:20:19.760 I know quite a few ethnics might

01:20:21.840 take so much umbrage at that

01:20:25.680 that it's too much for them

01:20:27.320 and they have to

01:20:27.940 they have to throw the baby out with the bathwater

01:20:30.040 and

01:20:30.440 I don't know

01:20:32.460 do something else

01:20:34.320 Not support the party anymore

01:20:36.040 Okay, do what you've got to do

01:20:37.700 Shame

01:20:41.580 Okay

01:20:44.580 Where are we?

01:20:46.040 What else have we got?

01:20:49.400 We Out Here and There

01:20:50.680 That's what their name is called

01:20:52.000 We Out Here and There

01:20:53.960 Says

01:20:54.580 Starmer has done loads for the countries he loves

01:20:57.540 Yeah right

01:20:58.680 The countries he loves

01:21:00.320 It just happens to be every other subversive foreign interest

01:21:04.020 Not Britain

01:21:04.500 Yeah exactly

01:21:05.180 Quite right

01:21:05.700 Yeah exactly

01:21:06.700 Seems what it seems like

01:21:07.980 Kick you in the throat again

01:22:04.620 Thundercook

01:22:05.860 2028 says

01:22:07.100 You excited for

01:22:09.320 Manchesterism

01:22:10.160 To sweep Britain

01:22:11.060 Question mark

01:22:11.720 Yeah

01:22:12.180 No

01:22:13.540 No

01:22:14.500 It's going to suck

01:22:16.400 Isn't it

01:22:16.760 It's going to be really bad

01:22:17.500 I think

01:22:18.380 It's going to ruin

01:22:19.600 The economy

01:22:20.200 Far worse than it already is

01:22:23.620 Teetering on the edge

01:22:24.840 Isn't it

01:22:25.120 Right on the edge

01:22:26.100 Right on the raggedy edge

01:22:27.820 Of being in

01:22:28.760 In

01:22:29.040 Full blown recession

01:22:30.420 Or depression

01:22:31.620 Or whatever

01:22:33.420 I'm going to tip us into that.

01:22:34.260 I would have thought.

01:22:36.820 Okay, principled uncertainty says,

01:22:39.960 Ben Elton said he actually misses Thatcher,

01:22:42.380 misses, as in not Mr and Mrs,

01:22:45.600 but misses, as in he wants to see them

01:22:47.860 and get back again.

01:22:48.800 Misses Thatcher and Blair

01:22:50.080 because they at least had a plan

01:22:52.220 and carried it out.

01:22:53.960 No one of worth goes into politics.

01:22:57.320 They go into tech or finance

01:22:59.180 where the power really lies.

01:23:00.760 Yeah, maybe to some extent, yeah

01:23:04.560 I'm not interested in what Ben Elton has got to say

01:23:06.580 He's a subversive

01:23:08.360 He used to be funny

01:23:10.040 He wrote a lot of the funniest jokes in Blackadder

01:23:16.520 Didn't he, for example

01:23:17.700 But his politics are completely subversive

01:23:22.460 And gross, commie

01:23:24.000 Dirty little filthy commie

01:23:26.420 Ben Elton, actually

01:23:27.460 Okay

01:23:29.600 Tatum says our US debt is more Reagan's fault slashing the top income tax bracket in half twice

01:23:38.040 and introducing no alternative source of money other than borrowing that's an interesting point

01:23:43.320 interesting point I think there would be a lot more to it than that there's a lot more to it

01:23:47.740 than that but nonetheless it's an interesting point totally valid point one of the reasons

01:23:53.020 let's say that yeah interesting point yeah bald choice that's their name says morning bow from

01:24:04.460 the rocky mountains oh really were you in colorado perhaps camp of the saints was republished and

01:24:11.100 sells for 25 on amazon a decent read with direct parallels to our countries interesting last time

01:24:16.720 i looked up camp of the saints to buy a copy it was really expensive it was out of print and it

01:24:23.200 was like it was loads it was like 200 quid or something or 150 quid or something you say you

01:24:45.440 I couldn't find just an online copy somewhere.

01:24:48.320 Like a PDF of it or anything.

01:24:50.400 Okay, if it's 25 quid, that's doable.

01:24:52.780 $25 even.

01:24:54.020 That's doable.

01:24:56.960 Okay.

01:24:58.080 A few more here.

01:24:59.080 Another half a dozen or so.

01:25:01.880 Ben Kane says,

01:25:03.380 Burnham only wears sandals to appeal to Islam.

01:25:05.680 I wonder if that's true.

01:25:06.920 That's interesting.

01:25:08.540 That didn't occur to me.

01:25:09.760 I wonder if that's true.

01:27:51.060 Yeah

01:27:51.380 That would have hurt the base a bit

01:27:53.760 I hope not

01:27:55.100 I hope not fatally

01:27:56.560 What can I say

01:27:58.340 I absolutely believe Rupert wants the best for his country and his people

01:28:02.420 What can I say

01:28:03.820 I'm actually in the party

01:28:07.100 I'm only a member

01:28:07.760 Obviously I know a lot of the leading people in it

01:28:10.800 But I don't actually have any power or control of what goes on in that party

01:28:14.800 Not at all

01:28:16.360 So

01:28:16.740 What can I say
