00:00:50.920 that don't i it's now just ticked one minute past eight in the a.m british summertime on tuesday

00:00:55.820 the 28th of july in the year of our law 2026 right what have we got race against time it's

00:01:01.340 still more wildfires there's a lot of what was on the papers yesterday wasn't it

00:01:10.380 that cabal of evil fleet street editors have obviously decided oh the real things we should

00:01:13.820 talk about the really important things like the fact the country's been invaded and we're staring

00:01:20.540 down the barrel of nightmare secretarian horror show things like that that the economy will

00:01:28.620 collapse that the high street is distopian those sorts of things in lieu of talking about those

00:01:33.580 sorts of things because they won't talk about those sorts of things because they're traitors

00:01:39.500 seditious globalist enemies you got a result to uh same thing we did yesterday yeah guys uh the

00:01:45.580 wildfires yeah still going to push the narrative about you know uh climate change spanish prime

00:01:53.340 minister said something about that okay race against time that's what that is that's what

00:01:56.300 that's in reference to and we've lost a goodie oh yeah bill oddy bill oddy has died it was 85.

00:02:04.700 is there a better picture of bill oddy let's quickly find a let's get bill oddy out of the way

00:02:09.100 i mean it in a bad way there was somewhere where there you go a little bit anyone who's not old

00:02:14.780 enough harry i guess you don't really know bill oddy no bill oddy bill oddy put your hands all

00:02:21.900 over bill oddy anyone who's not old enough or foreign may well not have ever heard of bill oddy

00:02:30.700 he was a national treasure i'm not being sarcastic or anything he was one of those

00:02:35.740 people that no one hated right said that about john trickshot virgo didn't i when he died the other

00:02:40.700 the day. I think I said it about Kevin Keegan. Kevin Keegan, if he was maybe a Sunderland

00:02:46.920 fan, you might resent what a great job he did for Newcastle. Or if he was a Neverton

00:02:52.220 fan, you might resent all the goals he scored for Liverpool or something. Or if he was an

00:02:56.360 England fan, you might not have loved the job he did as manager or something, even though

00:02:59.780 he did quite a good job. But nearly everyone liked Kevin Keegan. But everyone liked John

00:03:05.760 trickshot virgo and i feel like bill odd is one of those impossible to dislike him really

00:03:11.160 he was in a 70s tv show oh look there you go look the goodies okay the 70s tv comedy trio

00:03:19.380 the goodies it's all very wholesome very nice and wholesome and then in later life as you can see

00:03:26.380 there he's like a twitcher he'd do like nature shows particularly like birds watching birds

00:03:31.820 An ornithologist

00:03:34.080 He was just likeable

00:03:36.500 I just looked down at the chat

00:03:43.120 Someone says the funky gibbon 1.00

00:03:44.300 Yeah there was a song

00:03:45.020 Do the funky gibbon

00:03:46.420 From the 70s 1.00

00:03:48.620 Zoomers and foreign people are like 1.00

00:03:50.060 What is Bo talking about 1.00

00:03:51.380 The idiosyncrasies of British culture

00:03:54.700 Alright so

00:03:55.640 Yeah I mean even in the Alan Partridge

00:03:59.340 Some of the Alan Partridge

00:04:00.420 Lore

00:04:01.880 In some of the audio books

00:04:03.540 Adam Paltrow

00:04:06.040 To talk about how he was friends with Bill Oddy

00:04:08.260 And that like

00:04:10.300 Bill Oddy was

00:04:11.280 Like difficult and would lose his temper

00:04:14.000 And be mean spirited sometimes

00:04:15.660 The comedy in that being

00:04:18.240 That that's absolutely not what Bill Oddy's like

00:04:20.120 Right

00:04:20.620 Bill Oddy's like a lovable grandad

00:04:23.000 So he's passed away

00:04:25.680 Alright

00:04:26.200 Rest in peace

00:04:29.860 Right

00:04:35.500 The iPaper is probably about the best you get

00:04:38.680 On Fleet Street on any given day

00:04:40.180 Still pretty sloppy

00:04:42.740 Really

00:04:43.220 Still not really like unfettered

00:04:46.660 Journalism is it still not really

00:04:48.200 Still peddling

00:04:50.620 The lion all the time isn't it everyday but still

00:04:52.800 Race against time

00:04:54.360 Firefighters battle to tame wildfires before

00:04:56.560 Heatwave hits Europe

00:04:57.800 It's going to be another heat wave

00:04:59.060 Of course you're concluding Britain by the way

00:05:00.440 Get your fans out

00:05:03.540 Otherwise you have an uncomfortable night

00:05:07.320 When it's really hot

00:05:08.120 Next 24 hours crucial ahead

00:05:11.640 Of 40 degrees C heat wave

00:05:13.780 As fires approach Bordeaux

00:05:16.440 I was actually watching the news this morning

00:05:18.440 Was it Sky News and or BBC News

00:05:20.340 A little bit this morning

00:05:21.180 I was having a little bit of breakfast

00:05:23.540 And

00:05:24.340 They were saying that

00:05:27.740 at least around bordeaux maybe just about the fire services have got it under control

00:05:34.060 just about maybe they're not imminently fearing that all of bordeaux will burn down

00:05:42.540 making sort of fire breaks in the forest in the tree line and stuff okay

00:05:49.640 tourists urge to leave city as official wounds quote we don't know where the fire will go

00:05:55.660 That's the nature of it

00:05:57.600 Wherever the wind goes, wherever the wind takes it really

00:06:00.020 Macron holds crisis meeting

00:06:01.580 And Spanish PM warns of

00:06:03.420 Quote, consequences of climate emergency

00:06:07.080 Quote, and there you go

00:06:08.140 And there you have it

00:06:09.060 There it is

00:06:10.600 Really? Really?

00:06:15.260 This is the consequence of

00:06:16.940 The temperature globally as an average

00:06:19.480 Going up, what, less than a degree

00:06:21.280 In the last few years

00:06:22.220 Never had wildfires like this

00:06:24.800 On this crazy sort of scale

00:06:26.180 Around Bordeaux

00:06:28.280 On the French Riviera

00:06:29.280 As an average

00:06:31.780 Global temperatures go up a fraction

00:06:34.460 And now

00:06:35.780 It's the consequences of a climate emergency

00:06:38.580 No, don't buy it

00:06:39.560 Nonsense, I think

00:06:40.880 Just nonsense 1.00

00:06:43.960 And you know that Spanish 0.93

00:06:45.820 Prime Minister

00:06:47.080 Is a full-blown 0.79

00:06:50.080 Socialist, globalist freak

00:06:52.360 An enemy of Europe

00:06:54.520 UK Fire's fire crew

00:06:58.220 Raced for wildfires in the next few days

00:07:01.120 As fourth heat wave looms this week 1.00

00:07:03.860 They think we're stupid 0.99

00:07:08.900 At least some of these fires are not organic 1.00

00:07:14.080 Like all the churches that burn down 0.91

00:07:18.840 It's funny how mosques don't burn down, isn't it?

00:07:23.300 that's an interesting trend how many churches and cathedrals 0.96

00:07:26.460 spontaneously combust but mosques seem to be

00:07:29.980 entirely immune to spontaneous combustion 0.84

00:07:33.040 interesting

00:07:37.100 interesting trend interesting thing to note look they're going with the wildfires

00:07:41.260 again

00:07:41.620 the independent race to contain wildfires before new heat waves

00:07:46.520 you get it, you have to keep going over it. Brexit shift

00:07:49.720 I know it's only the banner not the headline

00:07:53.300 Brexit shift.

00:07:54.200 Burnham could pledge to rejoin EU in next Labour manifesto,

00:07:58.020 Minister says.

00:07:58.700 Well, lucky they almost certainly won't be in power after 2029.

00:08:06.100 You know, it's what he wants.

00:08:08.100 Andy Burnham was an arch Remainer and now rejoiner.

00:08:13.960 He thought he had the political capital.

00:08:15.980 He would do it tomorrow, I'm sure.

00:08:17.900 I'm sure of that.

00:08:18.400 His whole agenda of taking power away from Westminster

00:08:24.780 You get it right, the trend of that, the Blairite thing of that

00:08:27.540 Isn't it crazy, isn't it obviously bad for the country

00:08:32.120 To make your government and your centralised nature of your legislature and executive

00:08:38.880 Weaker and weaker and weaker

00:08:42.680 Obviously that's not in our interests

00:08:44.460 And anyway, being in Europe is all part of that, isn't it?

00:08:47.540 Having various forms of

00:08:50.620 Supranational government

00:08:51.960 And international courts

00:08:53.620 That sit above, take precedent

00:08:56.240 Above our courts

00:08:57.340 And our legislature

00:08:59.200 The courts in Strasbourg

00:09:03.240 Or whatever

00:09:05.040 The government's coming out of Brussels

00:09:07.220 Or whatever

00:09:08.380 Tell us what we can or can't do now

00:09:11.120 Why would you want that

00:09:13.320 Unless you hated this country

00:09:14.680 And yourself

00:09:15.640 Why would you?

00:09:17.320 There you go

00:09:17.920 I say he won't be Prime Minister after 2029

00:09:21.640 Been a few polls out over the last 24 hours

00:09:25.560 At least a couple of polls from relatively important, well-known polling companies

00:09:31.420 Like YouGov and I can't remember what the other sort of main one is

00:09:35.620 There isn't really another main one

00:09:36.960 But two big polls came out

00:09:38.400 One had reform and labour on exactly the same

00:09:46.300 I think 28

00:09:47.440 And another one put labour ahead

00:09:51.160 With like reform on 24 and labour on 28

00:09:54.640 Something like that

00:09:55.260 And that is the first time everyone was saying

00:09:59.020 First time since like April last year I think

00:10:03.400 where reform haven't been just leading in the polls

00:10:09.720 so this is kind of the burn and bounce though right

00:10:15.380 when a new leader gets in they usually nearly always it's just a statistical thing isn't it

00:10:21.940 nearly always get a little bit of a bump a bounce in popularity nearly always a lot of people a lot

00:10:29.940 normies just prepare to give them the benefit of the doubt even if it's only for a few weeks or

00:10:33.700 something so this is burnham's bounce will almost certainly evaporate well maybe not but okay um

00:10:44.980 but it does seem doesn't it it does seem like reform may have peaked or whether these these

00:10:52.980 endless hit pieces on nigel and the and his finances seem to be working which i don't think

00:11:01.700 are very fair i'm at least prepared to just wait until the results of like actual investigations

00:11:08.660 certainly that it can at least do that for the man i mean doesn't any doesn't everyone deserve

00:11:14.420 that at least everyone innocent until proven guilty unless it's you know unless it's really

00:11:20.980 really really really obvious unless they've already pled guilty and there's loads and loads

00:11:26.640 and loads of like video evidence and DNA evidence and stuff but the actual verdict hasn't come in

00:11:30.800 guilty yet in that instance I'm happy to call someone guilty but usually in the normal course

00:11:36.580 of events innocent until proven guilty certainly in the case of Niger on reform and his finances

00:11:41.440 I don't know I certainly don't know so but has all that damaged reform in the polls sort of nationally

00:11:49.340 It looks like it has

00:11:51.060 You would have thought

00:11:51.920 And this is a really cynical thing

00:11:53.180 Don't blame me

00:11:53.760 This is just human nature

00:11:54.740 This is not my take

00:11:55.640 This is just how humans work

00:11:57.700 You would have thought

00:11:59.000 Reform would get a little bit of bump 0.57

00:12:00.400 After the Anne Whittaker murder

00:12:02.380 People were just a bit more sympathetic

00:12:05.100 Not much

00:12:09.220 Doesn't seem to have been anything

00:12:10.280 In history quite often that will happen

00:12:13.060 That someone like the leader of a party

00:12:15.480 Or something will get assassinated

00:12:16.780 And that party goes on

00:12:18.280 To achieve a storming win

00:12:20.460 Right

00:12:22.000 That is just a thing in history that happens

00:12:24.460 Okay

00:12:26.520 It's like Labour is now

00:12:28.080 Dead level if not by some reckoning

00:12:30.400 Slightly ahead of reform

00:12:31.980 For the first time in a long time

00:12:34.700 I mean there's still

00:12:36.680 A long way to go until the next general election

00:12:38.200 And because Burnham did rule out

00:12:40.040 Didn't he, explicitly on Laura Konigsberg

00:12:42.180 On Sunday morning, did rule out

00:12:43.900 Another general election

00:12:45.620 So unless his own party

00:12:48.260 Coo him out of power 0.99

00:12:49.200 Which is totally possible 0.99

00:12:50.040 I don't think they will

00:12:51.460 But they might

00:12:52.200 They could

00:12:53.160 He's probably going to sit there

00:12:55.520 Until 2029

00:12:56.460 Andy Bumham

00:12:57.420 King of the North

00:12:58.480 With his guy liner

00:12:59.900 And mascara

00:13:00.800 And double chin 1.00

00:13:03.980 And belly and moobs 0.93

00:13:04.820 He's just going to sit there 1.00

00:13:06.000 With his stupid 1.00

00:13:07.480 Student politics 1.00

00:13:08.640 And the giant chip on his shoulder

00:13:09.980 That he's a Scouser

00:13:10.960 Will he do well at the next election?

00:13:18.180 Will he actually be able to

00:13:19.200 Well, if there was an election now, basically

00:13:21.800 Or now-ish

00:13:22.620 It would be a hung parliament, wouldn't it?

00:13:26.860 It's quite close between Labour

00:13:28.700 Reform and the Conservatives

00:13:30.940 Relatively close

00:13:31.760 Lib Dems, like always

00:13:33.680 With their chunk

00:13:36.460 50, 70, 80 MPs

00:13:39.760 Something like that

00:13:40.960 Greens get one or two or three

00:13:44.140 Restore at this point

00:13:46.000 Hopefully get one or two or three

00:13:47.760 Maybe poll about 7%

00:13:49.820 Something like that, depending

00:13:50.940 So

00:13:52.200 There would have to be some sort of coalition

00:13:55.740 Like Nigel and Reform

00:13:57.580 Couldn't just form a government

00:13:58.680 If there was an election now

00:14:00.600 Would they have to go into coalition

00:14:05.200 With the Conservatives

00:14:07.440 Would Labour and the Conservatives

00:14:11.580 Form a coalition to keep Nigel

00:14:13.220 Sounds crazy but

00:14:15.160 Might

00:14:17.220 Who knows

00:14:17.880 I think I've said this before on the Breakfast Show

00:14:21.080 I've definitely said it before on the main podcast

00:14:22.360 You remember the years when

00:14:25.080 After Gordon Brown when

00:14:26.500 Cameron became Prime Minister

00:14:28.240 He was actually in coalition with the Lib Dems wasn't he

00:14:30.400 With Nick Clegg, remember that

00:14:31.800 Nick Clegg being the Deputy Prime Minister

00:14:33.780 That was a hung parliament effectively

00:14:36.560 And there was all sorts of talk

00:14:38.780 Of who's going to form a coalition

00:14:39.960 And Labour and the Lib Dems

00:14:41.700 Are going to form a coalition

00:14:42.540 And I remember saying

00:14:45.400 Whatever happens

00:14:46.540 I've got a master's degree in politics

00:14:50.940 Don't you know

00:14:51.460 Whatever happens

00:14:52.940 The Conservatives and the Lib Dems

00:14:54.840 Aren't going to form a coalition

00:14:55.940 That just doesn't happen

00:14:56.860 That's not going to work

00:14:57.700 And then they did

00:15:00.960 That's exactly what did happen

00:15:01.980 So when it comes to forming coalition governments

00:15:04.840 All the chips are up in the air

00:15:06.660 And you are where you are

00:15:09.400 Despite the fact that Nigel and Kemi

00:15:11.840 Have both said unequivocally

00:15:13.780 Again and again and again and again and again

00:15:15.420 They said they're not going to do a deal with each other

00:15:16.980 When you find yourself actually literally in that situation

00:15:21.020 Where the country needs a government

00:15:23.540 The palace and Whitehall and the people

00:15:28.160 Demand a government

00:15:29.320 And you've got to figure it out

00:15:32.260 Would the Conservatives and Labour

00:15:35.500 Team up just to keep Nigel out

00:15:38.100 Or, well it depends on the exact numbers, isn't it

00:15:40.680 I think

00:15:41.640 Maybe

00:15:43.480 The Tories and Reform would

00:15:46.320 Form a coalition

00:15:47.360 Because they would have to

00:15:50.300 If they want to rule 0.86

00:15:51.780 Probably

00:15:53.200 But we'll see, it's still a long time, isn't it

00:15:55.300 In politics, two years, two and a half years, whatever it is

00:15:57.620 It is a lifetime in politics

00:16:00.120 All sorts could change

00:16:02.040 Absolutely all sorts

00:16:03.840 Labour could become

00:16:07.400 Disastrously unpopular

00:16:09.580 Disastrously

00:16:11.280 Because he just ruins the country

00:16:14.440 Ruins the economy in all sorts of ways

00:16:15.840 Reform could have a renaissance

00:16:19.760 And go back up in the polls massively

00:16:21.120 If Nigel plays his cards right

00:16:22.460 Or he could get scandaled into oblivion

00:16:24.540 Either of those two things could happen

00:16:26.360 Over the next two and a half years right

00:16:27.520 Same for the Conservatives

00:16:33.680 Kemi could

00:16:34.700 Play a blinder over the next two years 1.00

00:16:37.280 And somehow convince a bunch of normies

00:16:39.280 And Tory boys that she really is

00:16:41.540 The thing the country needs

00:16:42.540 Or

00:16:42.980 Or at the ballot box again

00:16:46.500 People are like no we remember what you guys did

00:16:48.500 In that last 14 years of rule

00:16:49.900 We're not voting for you again

00:16:51.000 So I'm hoping

00:16:55.600 Restore

00:16:57.160 Will keep building

00:16:59.180 Keep building and building

00:17:00.560 People will get the message

00:17:05.020 That millions must go

00:17:08.720 It's the fix all button isn't it

00:17:11.560 Millions must go

00:17:13.700 Then millions must go

00:17:14.720 Okay

00:17:17.440 I mean it's on all the literature

00:17:19.560 It's on all the leaflets

00:17:21.420 And in that long

00:17:22.300 That really long 110 page

00:17:26.140 Immigration document

00:17:27.600 It's not just stopping migration

00:17:29.580 It's reversing it 1.00

00:17:31.700 Remigration 1.00

00:17:34.600 What the country needs 1.00

00:17:38.020 Desperately needs

00:17:39.640 Okay, race to contain wildfires

00:17:42.900 Before a new heatwave

00:17:43.980 Flames, race closer to Bordeaux

00:17:46.420 Triggering terrifying fire clouds

00:17:48.220 Pyroclastic clouds

00:17:50.520 Type stuff

00:17:51.180 Firestorms are terrible things

00:17:54.400 Speaking of which, on this day in history, factoids

00:17:57.680 They mention Hamburg

00:17:58.820 In 43

00:18:02.660 Okay, what else have we got? The Financial Times

00:18:05.300 Even they're going with like the wildfire story

00:18:08.120 Wall of Flame

00:18:09.580 Megafires stalk Europe

00:18:11.840 Burnham seeks welfare bill savings by tailoring schools to local jobs markets

00:18:18.220 Here's an actual story, actual politics in the news today

00:18:21.000 um burnham's talking about how to try and tackle all the young people that aren't in

00:18:27.880 work or education or training is it neat is that what that is harry is that what that's called

00:18:33.160 neats yeah yeah yeah yeah not in education or work basically um but there's way more of them

00:18:42.300 than there's ever been what is it a million or way more than a million i can't even remember

00:18:46.720 the number it's just more than there's ever been and Andy Burnham's saying let's try and tailor

00:18:52.360 schools and the education system to give people jobs that are relevant to where they actually

00:18:59.920 live but push to find work for the young education and employers to link up Manchester policy the

00:19:06.880 model that's all he's got isn't he isn't it that's all he's got what we did in Manchester

00:19:11.220 worked so brilliant don't worry about that it didn't it worked so brilliantly that we'll just

00:19:15.420 do it all again on the national scale what what is he smoking

00:19:19.840 he's out of his gold isn't he all right so classic thing later for them I think there's a

00:19:31.360 headline about Blair anyone who doesn't remember who might not be British or is not old enough

00:19:36.060 when Tony Blair came into power in 1997 his sort of slogan his Maoist slogan for government was

00:19:42.640 Education, education, education

00:19:44.440 And what he wanted to do

00:19:46.260 What he pledged to do

00:19:47.220 His whole sort of ideas, plan

00:19:49.040 For the young people 1.00

00:19:50.800 For the next generation 1.00

00:19:51.580 For the future of Britain 1.00

00:19:52.760 Because it's the right thing to do 1.00

00:19:54.900 Was just get as many young people

00:19:58.140 Into university as possible

00:19:59.220 Just that, basically

00:20:00.540 His thinking was

00:20:02.520 People that get university degrees

00:20:05.380 Go on to get higher paid jobs

00:20:06.980 So let's just max that out

00:20:10.240 So let's just get

00:20:12.560 Every kid if he could

00:20:15.500 Every kid to go to university

00:20:17.420 Does that work?

00:20:20.020 No of course it doesn't

00:20:20.720 For a number of reasons

00:20:22.240 One it devalues

00:20:23.720 A degree at all

00:20:26.100 Two

00:20:27.740 For lots and lots and lots and lots of people

00:20:29.760 An academic

00:20:32.100 Career like that

00:20:34.720 Not even a career is it

00:20:35.760 It's like from the age of 18 to 21

00:20:37.640 An academic course like that

00:20:39.640 three-year academic course it's just not for them it's just they're just they don't enjoy it they

00:20:45.600 don't want it they're not interested in it or that sort of thing i just want to go out and make money

00:20:51.280 and or or if it's like an actual academic course it's just it doesn't fit with their personality

00:21:00.000 that you sit down you go to the library regularly get out books read the books and read big chunks

00:21:05.660 of the books and then write essays 3 000 word essays again again again over all different things

00:21:11.280 keep reading essays sit down do exams hours long exams for a lot of people that's just not

00:21:18.200 what they want to do or they're not capable of it or it's just right so the idea that tony blair had

00:21:24.700 of get everyone to do that it will mean everyone gets a better job does it but what if you make 0.86

00:21:30.100 millions and millions of people do young people do do that will there be enough jobs or them all

00:21:35.280 though after that no it's a fairly short-sighted really quite short-sighted strategy from tony

00:21:42.900 blair just get as many kids to go to university as possible well all right burnham has said that

00:21:51.740 like that seems to have failed a generation and that he'd rather get particularly boys

00:21:58.520 particularly young men would rather do something manual right would rather do something with their

00:22:07.640 hands go out and start work at 16 and learn a trade learn like an actual skill

00:22:14.820 beyond reading and writing essays which to be perfectly honest that was the path i went down

00:22:22.580 of course but to be perfectly honest doesn't help you in day-to-day life if you happen to find a job

00:22:27.820 which requires lots and lots of reading and writing okay fine because being a civil servant

00:22:33.080 or something okay fine yeah right good good good most jobs aren't like that though are they most

00:22:39.820 jobs aren't like that okay but on top of that on top of the concept of you don't necessarily need

00:22:49.040 to go to university maybe go out and learn a skill on a trade in the real world making it local

00:22:55.480 These are local jobs for local people

00:23:04.820 League of gentlemen reference there

00:23:06.240 He wants people to, young people

00:23:08.700 To be trained, even at school

00:23:11.240 Even before they've left school

00:23:12.760 At 16

00:23:13.820 To have their education tailored to the type of job

00:23:17.700 They might do in that area

00:23:19.420 Is that a good idea, is that a great idea

00:23:23.180 I don't know

00:23:23.660 It seems like not a terrible idea, but then doesn't it sort of narrow people's horizons a bit?

00:23:30.920 You live in a part of the country where there's, I don't know, a giant steelworks or whatever,

00:23:35.460 a big car factory or a massive Amazon warehouse or whatever.

00:23:40.840 And you get trained up and get put down the path when you're like 13, 14 or whatever

00:23:45.140 towards doing like warehouse management or something.

00:23:48.560 that is a good thing about an academic career and doing them

00:23:54.220 and um you know doing humanities anyway something like english literature or as i did history

00:24:01.940 ancient history something like that or geography or even just a hard science like you know like

00:24:08.140 physics or something or maths right it might not necessarily help you in the real world in

00:24:13.540 immediate terms but what it does do is give you certain skills and certain abilities that are

00:24:20.820 transferable right the idea of being able to sit still sit quietly and just read for hours and

00:24:28.800 hours on end and take in the the knowledge and the facts and then practice having them at your

00:24:36.140 fingertips to deploy practicing and essays practicing an argument how to form and structure

00:24:43.400 an argument that is actually really helpful in life right it is every day in a way right how to

00:24:52.280 influence the world around you manipulate the world around you if you're not eloquent enough

00:24:57.160 and you can't form an argument you're going to get stepped over and ignored probably in the world

00:25:02.940 So

00:25:05.200 University

00:25:07.500 Particularly humanities isn't for everyone

00:25:09.540 It's forcing kids

00:25:13.940 Down a certain path

00:25:15.180 Really quite young

00:25:16.940 To do a job that only really exists in their area

00:25:19.960 Is that better?

00:25:22.960 I don't know

00:25:23.640 I don't think so

00:25:25.360 I think the best thing 1.00

00:25:29.920 For young people

00:25:30.780 When I mean young people

00:25:31.600 Under 20 let's say

00:25:32.920 is to just try and try and become the most sort of well-rounded adult you could become

00:25:40.100 be well-rounded i think i know it's easy to say isn't it what does that even mean but

00:25:46.360 that pigeon i always thought that pigeonholing kids was bad even when i was at school there

00:25:55.380 there would be by like year nine or ten they would make you drop certain subjects and pick

00:26:00.460 other ones like you couldn't do history and geography for example or even when you do a

00:26:06.440 level you've got to pick three or four a levels and everything else you've just got to drop

00:26:10.040 you just that will not be part of your life almost certainly going part of your job and career and

00:26:15.060 stuff like a holistic education is very good try and learn everything and everything as much as

00:26:23.520 possible try and imbibe as much information and knowledge as possible until the very last moment

00:26:30.240 when you have to do a specific job that's what i feel like but

00:26:36.080 burnham wants to make young people do jobs exactly where they live like they can't move

00:26:42.720 but they can't move i don't know i'm not sure about that i don't know about that all right

00:26:48.720 french race against time to stop fires all right got it burnham's hard hat schools

00:26:54.000 see hard hat like a worker on a work site you know pm plans to make vocational education the

00:26:59.920 first choice for many GCSE pupils in radical change to curriculum. I said all that, what

00:27:08.200 I just said, but some people, especially some lads, they just want a vocational education.

00:27:14.760 They don't care about sitting down and reading and writing. To try and force them to, or

00:27:22.720 to tell them they're a failure if they don't or can't. That's not good, is it? They're

00:27:28.600 That's fair enough

00:27:30.460 I've always thought that was unfair

00:27:31.980 And there's certain people, boys and girls

00:27:34.260 They're just not built

00:27:37.060 For

00:27:38.040 You know, an academic

00:27:41.140 For A-levels and an undergrad

00:27:42.740 They're not built for it 1.00

00:27:43.680 It's not their fault, it doesn't mean they're stupid 1.00

00:27:46.580 At all, does it? 0.99

00:27:48.580 If the world, in a broad sense

00:27:50.420 The world tells them they are

00:27:51.800 You know, you try and get a

00:27:54.200 A high level graduate

00:27:55.780 Or you just can't, you can't even apply for graduate jobs

00:27:58.380 oh oh you haven't been to university oh dear i'm terrible 0.99

00:28:04.500 why don't you go and be a t-boy then that's horrible isn't it really really horrible and 0.98

00:28:08.600 unfair and just bullshit oh i'm not supposed to swear on the back show sorry about that 0.97

00:28:14.200 any kiddy winks that are in the room so summer holidays as well sorry about that parents yeah 0.95

00:28:19.680 that's not fair it's not right and um okay so maybe a little bit of a better emphasis on

00:28:26.380 Vocational education

00:28:27.220 Might not be the worst thing in the world

00:28:28.720 Alright

00:28:29.120 Burnham's hard hat schools

00:28:30.600 It's not only talking about it right

00:28:32.660 Nothing will happen

00:28:35.100 Until the parliament opens again

00:28:36.780 And then you have to go through

00:28:37.720 Various debates

00:28:38.800 And white papers and stuff

00:28:39.720 And it will be ages before

00:28:40.500 Anything like that

00:28:41.260 Actually becomes law

00:28:42.180 It's just what

00:28:43.560 It's just Burnham talking

00:28:44.660 It's just his press secretary talking

00:28:47.220 Let's see what he actually does

00:28:50.540 Okay

00:28:51.940 The Daily Telegraph

00:28:53.980 The Tory graph

00:28:54.880 Complete slop

00:28:55.620 Burnham axes Blair's university vision

00:28:59.020 See, that's what I'm talking about

00:28:59.860 Blair just wanted everyone to go to university

00:29:01.840 Hard hats, quote

00:29:04.440 As important as graduation caps, quote

00:29:06.600 As PM looks to get young people working 0.97

00:29:09.080 Alright 0.95

00:29:33.300 tapestry it's an embroidery it's one one very very long bit of cloth basically you can fold

00:29:39.920 it up a bit but of course it's like knocking a thousand years old so you don't know you can't

00:29:44.820 just roll it up exactly so anyway it's in a lorry from france and it's got an armed escort apparently 0.96

00:30:17.160 They're laughing it up

00:30:20.160 With clenched fists

00:30:21.780 Like they're hard in some way

00:30:23.820 Like they're warriors among men

00:31:26.660 oh arrest polanski over post demands for arge this is a story uh mildly interesting story i mean

00:31:32.700 let's have a look it's on one it's on a few of the websites yeah here we go look okay

00:31:37.120 reform uk reports of zach polanski real name david paulden to police over guillotine t-shirt

00:31:45.040 post what's going on here what's happened what's going down so what it was quick that just the

00:31:50.480 facts just the facts facts of the case um zach polanski on instagram now i'm not on instagram

00:31:59.040 i've barely ever even looked at instagram once or twice ever someone sent me a post

00:32:04.480 and it's an instagram post and i'll click on it that's it so i don't know how instagram works

00:32:10.000 but so all right i need to caveat with that before i carry on

00:32:14.800 david paulden the leader of the green party weirdly decided to call himself a zach polanski

00:32:25.480 a jewish man who's flooded his party with islamists

00:32:32.840 he reposted someone reposted someone who had like loads of not just one picture apparently

00:32:41.280 it was like 20 odd pictures this person had on their feed i don't know i don't know instagram

00:32:46.720 they had 20 odd pictures and one of those pictures apparently was this guy and nigel's

00:32:54.580 reposted it here uh is it on twitter i think um i don't know and he's

00:32:59.500 uh sort of smudged out the face but in other places you can see the face and the guy's just 0.94

00:33:05.640 like a ugly fat neckbeard dude with a rainbow hat on like a real real disgusting smelly 0.93

00:33:14.100 leftoid freak and on his t-shirt is a guillotine i'm not sure if his actual t-shirt says making 0.99

00:33:22.300 plans for nigel but it's a picture of a guillotine and david paulden said we're making plans for

00:33:30.020 nigel okay okay that's basically the facts you know so i'll say i sang that the other day the

00:33:37.840 other week didn't i we're only making plans for nigel it's like an old song from the 80s

00:33:44.020 actually i read this morning it's from 1979 that's earlier than i thought i thought it's

00:33:48.460 from the 80s yeah look there you go look a 1979 song by band xtx i thought it was from the mid 80s

00:33:55.220 anyway it's from 1979 right okay the leader of the green party posts a picture of a freak 0.85

00:34:00.900 sickening freak with uh with a guillotine on his t-shirt he says we're only making plans for nigel

00:34:09.640 now nigel and reform saw this and said well you can see what i've said he said this is what zach 0.90

00:34:17.180 polanski just posted on his instagram um if i was to post anything as insightful then i would

00:34:24.040 i would expect to be arrested and so should polanski that's what nigel said and a bunch

00:34:30.520 of others like gazia and i think lee anderson and a bunch of others and like the official

00:34:34.240 spokesman all came out and said this is incitement of violence this is sort of um you know even

00:34:38.960 incite inciting murder don't you remember what just happened to anne weddicom for god's sake like

00:34:47.180 um they kicked up a stink about it totally fair enough fair enough um now zach polanski and

00:34:57.500 the greens came out and said whether you believe them on this or not i don't think i do but maybe

00:35:03.180 they came out and they said oh he didn't know it was 20 different pictures and he didn't actually

00:35:07.900 click through it and see all the pictures so he did what he's saying he didn't even see that one

00:35:14.860 picture but before he reposted it and as soon as he was made aware of it he unshared it

00:35:19.260 now i mentioned that i mentioned earlier that i i'm not on instagram so i don't know

00:35:23.680 like i know twitter very well i know if that would be believable or not on twitter

00:35:28.700 on instagram i don't know exactly if that's even believable is it likely i don't know but

00:35:34.780 that's what he's saying as soon as he realized like the error he unshared it and he didn't

00:35:40.060 want to cause division and stuff but reform not only um you know kicked up a stink about it they

00:35:48.660 actually referred him to the police actually referred it to the met police the london police

00:35:53.940 okay so that's basically everything they say about it and then just

00:36:00.680 um my thoughts and feelings on it i'm a little bit i'm a little bit in two minds about it myself

00:36:10.060 I will say this, it's 100% in bad taste,

00:36:16.100 1,000% in bad taste for David Pauldin to post that picture

00:36:23.740 and put, we're only making plans for Nigel.

00:36:26.500 Is it a crime?

00:36:32.900 Like in Bowes Britain, if I was the single ultimate arbiter

00:36:36.720 Of all justice and law

00:36:38.660 Would I make that a crime?

00:36:42.280 I don't think I would

00:36:45.000 It's in extremely bad taste, isn't it?

00:36:48.300 It's horrible

00:36:48.880 It's mean

00:36:49.860 It's gross

00:36:50.700 It's revolting

00:36:52.020 Should that be a crime?

00:36:54.740 I don't think so

00:37:00.440 Should the Greens and Zach Penansky be punished at the ballot box?

00:37:05.500 Yeah, oh god, yeah

00:37:06.620 is it really really dodgy like so soon after Anne Whittacombe yeah

00:37:14.000 it's an extremely poor taste extremely bad judgment

00:37:21.240 from Paulding I'm not sure I believe that he didn't even see the picture or whatever

00:37:29.640 Anyway

00:37:31.260 Would I make that a crime

00:37:34.580 To post something like that

00:37:36.400 I don't think I would

00:37:37.380 There's something bigger going on here isn't there

00:37:39.800 Than just

00:37:41.260 I don't know I'm in two minds

00:37:45.040 Because of all the

00:37:46.680 Because of the Anne Widdick thing

00:37:48.520 And lots of other things like it

00:37:49.680 The tearing apart of our politics

00:37:53.360 And civil society like wet tissue paper

00:37:55.320 It's not like it's 1995 anymore

00:37:58.280 Is it where back then you would say

00:38:01.420 Of course that shouldn't be a crime

00:38:02.680 It's in bad taste 0.99

00:38:03.520 And what a dick for having done that 0.98

00:38:05.320 But it's not a crime 0.99

00:38:07.280 Whereas now

00:38:07.880 I don't know

00:38:10.440 I've said before a bunch of times haven't I

00:38:11.560 I'm not libertarian

00:38:13.380 If I had one word to describe my politics

00:38:16.240 It absolutely wouldn't be libertarian

00:38:18.100 But I've got libertarian leanings

00:38:21.580 I've got sympathies for various libertarian ideas and concepts

00:38:26.740 I kind of want as few things to be legal as possible

00:38:31.820 I'm still actually conservative with a small c

00:38:35.900 I'm not one of those people that thinks all drugs should be legalised

00:38:39.200 Like David Pauldin actually

00:38:40.660 Not that much

00:38:42.120 I'm like 5% libertarian or something like that

00:38:46.000 I do want freedom of speech and expression to be as wired as possible

00:38:52.360 Even if it's in extremely bad taste

00:38:54.440 Because he's not

00:38:56.700 I don't think he's direct

00:38:57.960 I don't think

00:38:58.660 Polanski is

00:39:01.520 Explicitly inciting the murder of Nigel

00:39:06.320 By doing that

00:39:06.880 I don't think he is

00:39:07.780 I mean it's getting closer isn't it

00:39:10.480 It's down that route

00:39:11.320 But

00:39:13.140 I just feel like it's more like

00:39:17.440 In terribly bad taste

00:39:18.740 Rather than actually criminal

00:39:20.320 Anyway

00:39:21.120 That's just my take

00:39:22.620 It's not for me to

00:39:23.820 Judge is it

00:39:25.480 It will be for like

00:39:26.080 The CPS I suppose

00:39:27.120 Well Polanski himself

00:39:29.260 Says he hasn't been

00:39:30.320 Approached by the police yet

00:39:31.940 The

00:39:34.740 Reform said

00:39:36.540 They've referred it

00:39:37.120 To the police

00:39:37.560 The police said

00:39:38.040 They have received

00:39:38.900 A complaint

00:39:39.480 They're doing their

00:39:40.700 Inquiries

00:39:41.340 Polanski himself

00:39:42.720 Says he hasn't been

00:39:43.400 Contacted by them yet

00:39:44.320 Okay

00:39:44.980 That's just a bit

00:39:46.040 Of a story today

00:39:46.920 I would like to live

00:39:51.700 In a society

00:39:52.440 Where

00:39:52.860 That wasn't a problem

00:39:54.580 People would just scoff and say

00:39:56.820 What a gross move by the Greens

00:39:58.980 And that's it

00:40:01.260 But we don't really live in that world do we

00:40:02.780 To be honest we've got to face up to it

00:40:04.920 We do live in a much more dangerous world don't we

00:40:09.360 Particularly for politicians

00:40:12.400 Alright the Guardian

00:40:18.480 are you talking to me the guardian

00:40:28.000 well there's no one else here who do you think you're talking to you're talking to me

00:40:34.020 okay okay

00:40:37.260 they want to wind their neck in don't they

00:40:42.320 Ah, poor old Bill Oddy

00:40:45.900 He was an utter joy

00:40:47.380 Tributes as good as Bill Oddy dies at 85

00:40:50.360 Teach pupils for local jobs

00:40:54.640 Burn them to tell schools

00:40:55.640 Right 0.99

00:40:55.920 Fleeing the wildfires

00:40:57.360 Got it

00:40:57.820 Oh, Jodrell Bank Closure Threat

00:40:59.660 Devastating

00:41:00.340 Oh

00:41:00.640 This is

00:41:02.340 Just one more example

00:41:04.380 One more example of the sort of

00:41:09.320 The degradation

00:41:11.180 Humiliation, the destruction of our country and society

00:41:17.720 Our history and heritage 1.00

00:41:18.640 Anyone who's not British might not know

00:41:21.180 Jodrell Bank

00:41:22.220 It's a giant telescope, radio telescope isn't it?

00:41:27.820 Massive up in Cheshire isn't it?

00:41:31.360 Just as you get into sort of the Peak District

00:41:32.920 Giant thing, massive thing, stands out in the landscape

00:41:35.920 Giant white telescope

00:41:38.380 It's been really important

00:41:40.060 Ever since what

00:41:40.720 The late 50s

00:41:41.620 Been really quite important

00:41:43.160 I think it's like

00:41:43.780 You say

00:41:44.220 Did I read somewhere yesterday

00:41:45.500 It's the third biggest

00:41:46.540 Radio telescope in the world

00:41:47.700 It's been important

00:41:51.100 For all sorts of discoveries

00:41:52.700 Over the decades

00:41:53.620 All sorts

00:41:54.280 Helping us understand

00:41:55.920 Really genuinely

00:41:56.980 Expanding our knowledge

00:41:58.680 Of the cosmos

00:41:59.420 Of man's place

00:42:01.860 In the universe

00:42:02.880 And it only requires

00:42:06.700 A few million a year

00:42:07.660 To keep going

00:42:08.460 But our government's cut that spending

00:42:09.640 No, I can't do that

00:42:10.460 No, we need to spend that

00:42:12.020 On giving housing and mobile phones

00:42:13.960 To people that are invading us 0.97

00:42:16.440 To rapists and murderers

00:42:18.160 That are invading us 0.97

00:42:19.120 We need to build houses for them 0.87

00:42:20.740 So George Rule Bank

00:42:22.360 Something the country could actually

00:42:26.200 Be proud of in some way

00:42:27.480 Nah, get rid of it

00:42:29.480 I just really hope

00:42:33.640 Hopefully the funding doesn't run out

00:42:34.780 Until I think 2028

00:42:36.060 and is a unesco world heritage site i just hope that whether it's unesco or whether it's elon

00:42:43.360 the largesse of good uncle elon might help out or some other millionaire billionaire or some sort

00:42:51.320 of organization is formed in the region in the pig in cheshire something or someone steps in

00:42:59.260 To preserve it

00:43:01.580 Perhaps not as a working telescope

00:43:03.740 But as

00:43:05.100 You know some sort of heritage site

00:43:07.040 Or some sort of like museum piece

00:43:08.640 Or something

00:43:09.260 I really really hope that

00:43:11.000 I hope it's not just

00:43:11.840 Basically left to

00:43:14.340 Rust and fall to pieces

00:43:16.200 And or just deliberately torn down

00:43:18.200 So they can build some flats there

00:43:20.620 Or something 1.00

00:43:21.160 For Bermalians 1.00

00:43:22.700 I really hope not 1.00

00:43:24.740 Really really hope not

00:43:26.960 Sad, it's sad

00:43:28.540 It's just one more example of where I think

00:43:32.040 This country's taken a terribly wrong turn

00:43:35.560 That the government feels like they need the money

00:43:43.100 For what?

00:43:44.500 So we can give aid to Pakistan or something 0.99

00:43:46.860 So we can fund lesbian studies in Rwanda or something 0.99

00:43:53.480 Our priorities are just all wrong 1.00

00:43:57.880 All wrong 1.00

00:43:58.660 It's lefties for you

00:44:02.060 It's communism for you

00:44:02.860 It's socialism for you

00:44:03.820 Isn't it?

00:44:07.000 Alright

00:44:07.520 The Star

00:44:08.040 Bill Oddy again

00:44:10.400 Alright

00:44:10.820 We've done that

00:44:11.580 The Daily Mail

00:44:13.060 Pure slop

00:44:13.520 Oh Nadine Doris 1.00

00:44:14.480 Ooh

00:44:15.120 Are you supposed to be

00:44:17.460 A serious politician?

00:44:22.740 Burnham's £18 billion

00:44:23.880 Death tax nightmare

00:44:25.280 Fears that PM

00:44:26.300 Will try to

00:44:26.980 Impose

00:44:27.560 10% levy on all inheritances to fund social care now i'm pretty sure it's both reform and restores

00:44:37.020 policy to do away with inheritance tax i would certainly do away with inheritance tax all

00:44:42.420 inheritance tax i think nearly all again this is my libertarian leanings coming out nearly all tax

00:44:51.480 In my mind, libertarians would say all tax

00:44:54.140 For me, nearly all tax is state-sponsored theft

00:44:57.700 That's what that is

00:44:59.760 I'm not a full, I'm not a complete zero statist person

00:45:06.860 Close, something close to that

00:45:10.480 I think the state should tax people

00:45:14.380 A very, very, very small amount

00:45:17.640 Very small amount

00:45:18.980 Across the board in all sorts of ways

00:45:22.720 At the conceptual level

00:45:26.560 An inheritance tax is disgusting to me

00:45:28.820 That you've been paying taxes all your life

00:45:31.360 From a dozen different ways

00:45:33.500 On everything, over and over again

00:45:34.840 Multiple taxes on the same things, over and over again

00:45:36.820 And then when you die, if you somehow miraculously

00:45:39.280 Manage to accrue

00:45:41.280 Some sort of pot of money

00:45:42.700 When you die, the government just takes a big chunk

00:45:45.700 That seems to me morally wrong

00:45:50.840 But leftists love it

00:45:54.120 Leftists hate the idea of inherited wealth

00:45:57.440 Of old money

00:45:59.020 Why?

00:46:00.300 Not really any other reason than they've got a chip on their shoulder

00:46:03.020 There really isn't much of a reason other than that

00:46:09.800 Inheritance tax is a disgusting thing to me

00:46:13.680 i loved it when reform first came out with that loved it because i've had that policy for a long

00:46:19.320 long time since the beginning and then when restore said the same thing i was like yes good good good

00:46:23.820 that's great that's great now in britain at the moment inheritance tax only kicks in after a

00:46:29.880 certain amount it's a fair amount actually it's over 300 grand i think don't shoot me if i've got

00:46:34.800 some of the details wrong but it's only if you've got over 300 grand does the inheritance tax kick

00:46:39.440 in and it's massive as well a massive percentage well burnham's now saying that he would impose a

00:46:48.220 10 tax on any inheritances you know under that threshold of 300 was it 325 330 000 pounds or

00:46:57.960 whatever so you want to try and leave your you've only got 20 grand in the bank and you try and

00:47:04.680 Leave that to one of your kids

00:47:06.840 And the government goes

00:47:08.000 10% 0.93

00:47:08.640 Yoink

00:47:09.100 That's ours now

00:47:10.260 A death tax

00:47:15.380 Horrible 0.82

00:47:20.020 But lefties 0.88

00:47:21.040 Fabians

00:47:22.320 Socialists 1.00

00:47:23.200 Got no shame about something like that

00:47:26.080 That's shameful

00:47:27.500 You should be ashamed of yourself

00:47:29.080 No shame

00:47:31.280 Do that

00:47:31.820 That will raise 18 billion

00:47:33.080 What are you going to spend that $18 billion on, Andy?

00:47:36.600 On housing for the rapists and murderers that are invading us.

00:47:40.580 All right. 0.98

00:47:42.020 Okay.

00:47:43.760 I'm going to give a bunch of that to Zelensky 1.00

00:47:45.560 so he can get Ukrainian boys killed and Russian boys killed. 1.00

00:47:50.820 Okay. 1.00

00:47:52.940 Okay.

00:47:59.240 The sun.

00:48:00.700 The sun.

00:48:01.080 Look at this.

00:48:01.600 the front page of The Sun 1.00

00:48:03.660 is there's some woman 0.92

00:48:05.220 that looks like Burnham

00:48:06.440 I'm Mandy Burnham

00:48:11.260 she's a chaplain

00:48:14.060 Emma Roberts

00:48:15.620 she's 54

00:48:16.380 she looks like Burnham

00:48:19.460 there you go

00:48:20.620 front page

00:48:21.600 well done The Sun

00:48:23.720 well done

00:48:28.020 good journalism

00:48:30.600 Brilliant.

00:48:37.660 Alright, the Metro.

00:48:46.460 They've got to be a lot of people.

00:48:47.300 Also, apparently, the guy that did the voice for Zippy.

00:48:51.520 Oh, Bungle.

00:48:53.260 That's so, so interesting.

00:48:54.460 You won't know.

00:48:55.100 Do you know Rainbow?

00:48:56.440 Did they?

00:48:57.320 No.

00:48:58.160 Okay.

00:49:00.600 This is a proper 70s or 60s thing.

00:49:04.440 I grew up with Rainbow. 1.00

00:49:06.200 Anyone that's old enough

00:49:07.160 will have dear, dear childhood memories of Rainbow

00:49:12.540 with Zippy and Bungle and George. 1.00

00:49:16.120 Again, people foreign or not old enough 1.00

00:49:18.060 will be like, what is he talking about? 1.00

00:49:20.580 Okay, this was Zippy. 0.99

00:49:22.620 And he had a ridiculous voice. 0.92

00:49:24.100 I was going to do a longer impression of Zippy, 0.96

00:49:26.420 but I'm not going to. 0.97

00:49:27.540 A ridiculous voice. 0.95

00:49:28.700 Anyway, the guy that puppeted it and did the voice has also died, apparently. 0.98

00:49:37.640 Right.

00:49:39.160 How could somebody be so cruel?

00:49:41.200 Horror beyond belief at Rogue Funeral Parlour.

00:49:43.660 Yeah, this story, this guy.

00:49:45.280 Oh.

00:49:47.100 Oh, this is a bit of a horror story.

00:49:50.600 He ran a funeral parlour where people, a cremation facility.

00:49:56.300 and what he did for years was take the dead body

00:50:03.340 not cremate it just pile it up somewhere bodies on top of each other just pile them up somewhere

00:50:11.740 god knows where what could you imagine the stink i don't know if it was a refrigerated facility or

00:50:16.360 what but just pile the bodies up pocket the money that people had paid for the cremation

00:50:22.420 And then just give them ashes

00:50:24.040 Just sort of

00:50:25.400 I don't know what

00:50:26.040 Like generic ashes

00:50:27.560 I don't know if they're wood ashes

00:50:28.460 Or what

00:50:28.780 Just

00:50:28.960 And the cost of a cremation

00:50:31.460 Because I think it's

00:50:31.920 Kind of expensive

00:50:33.020 Not crazy expensive

00:50:33.840 But it costs money right

00:50:34.840 A few thousand

00:50:35.760 He would just pocket that money

00:50:38.640 And just leave the bodies there

00:50:42.700 So like basically rot I suppose

00:50:45.360 Piled up

00:50:47.160 Scene of horror

00:50:50.340 Anyway he got caught

00:50:52.420 Thirty-one bodies, including baby, lay around for years as Undertaker conned families of cremation cash.

00:51:02.100 Whoa!

00:51:03.960 You've got to be devoid of humanity, haven't you, to do that? 0.97

00:51:15.060 That is sick and unusual, isn't it? 0.78

00:51:19.420 The depravity of that.

00:51:22.420 okay the daily express is a good paper you can read your express now

00:51:30.100 they're going with the same story families hear distressing evidence as

00:51:33.940 rogue funeral director faces sentencing bodies were piled up like in a horror

00:51:38.740 scene

00:51:39.060 yeah yeah

00:51:41.980 heartbroken families heard of the horror scene at a funeral home

00:51:48.720 Where loved ones bodies

00:51:49.940 Lay for years

00:51:51.040 While the bereaved

00:51:52.540 Were handed strangers ashes

00:51:54.380 Yeah

00:51:56.640 And part of the story

00:51:57.540 I read this morning

00:51:58.100 Is that

00:51:58.540 Because he's going through

00:51:59.620 His trial right now

00:52:00.800 So a lot of the families

00:52:03.140 Were saying things like

00:52:04.040 Because he's trying to say sorry

00:52:06.540 I think he pled guilty

00:52:07.800 Or he's certainly

00:52:08.320 Just sort of

00:52:09.220 Not trying to pretend

00:52:09.960 He didn't know it happened

00:52:10.840 Or that it wasn't him or anything

00:52:11.920 He's just

00:52:12.300 He's trying to sort of

00:52:14.420 Say sorry

00:52:14.920 Effectively

00:52:15.640 And the family's going

00:52:17.140 No that's not

00:52:17.720 No

00:52:18.240 That we don't accept your apology

00:52:19.760 That's not good enough

00:52:20.840 Even if you grovelled on your hands and knees

00:52:22.820 We don't accept it

00:52:23.720 Which is fair enough

00:52:25.000 That's how I would feel

00:52:25.800 What do you mean sorry?

00:52:28.100 No, I don't accept your apology

00:52:29.060 Okay, the mirror

00:52:32.700 Bill Oddy's left us

00:52:33.880 Funeral home scandal

00:52:35.380 Sorry will never be enough

00:52:36.540 There you go

00:52:36.920 Grieving victims

00:52:37.880 Reject cruel undertaker's apology

00:52:39.600 As he arrives at court

00:52:40.980 Yeah, that is mad

00:52:43.880 To do that

00:52:48.240 Including a baby

00:52:50.480 How could you

00:52:52.420 How could you

00:52:53.480 Some people

00:52:53.940 How could you

00:52:55.500 I just don't get it

00:52:58.280 Some things

00:52:59.000 Some people do

00:52:59.660 I just don't get

00:53:00.220 Sometimes like

00:53:03.900 Cruelty to animals

00:53:05.000 How could

00:53:06.200 How could you

00:53:07.260 Leaving 0.99

00:53:10.900 People's bodies 0.98

00:53:12.000 A baby's body 0.54

00:53:12.940 Out to rot

00:53:14.040 And you told them

00:53:15.000 That you had

00:53:16.440 Cremated it

00:53:17.040 And here's the ashes

00:53:17.820 oh all right they're the front pages for today they're the front pages

00:53:24.900 should we have a look at our poll we usually do the poll about this time of the show don't we

00:53:29.740 i don't think me and harry agreed one did harry i asked harry would you ask the chat

00:53:34.180 what poll they want to see yeah yeah is that what we've got here today yeah that's what we got okay

00:53:39.820 so i'm reading this in real time i don't know what it's going to be let me do this with my

00:53:44.060 mic so i can see it properly i really don't know what it's going to be what's it going to be

00:53:47.300 oh which newspaper is worse the guardian or the metro there you go we asked you guys if you're

00:53:56.280 not in london you would have never seen the metro if you're not in britain you wouldn't have got

00:54:00.680 either of them would you there you go okay what have we got oh the guardian has it 74% of you

00:54:07.540 say the guardian 26 saying the metro interesting okay they're both really bad aren't they metro

00:54:16.620 though for anyone who doesn't know it's actually a free newspaper in london that they often or is

00:54:24.680 exclusively put on uh in train stations you walk into the tube station or the train station there

00:54:30.880 would just be a stack of metros there for free because it's quite thin as well the metro it's

00:54:35.380 only like a few pages every day it's like barely a newspaper really but their angle their take is

00:54:44.020 that both both the guardian and the metro are like the standard as well standard is pretty bad

00:54:52.260 their takes are just pure subversion

00:54:58.340 weirdo freak globalist environmentalist commies

00:55:01.140 probably the guardian is probably more dangerous because it's got a bigger 0.94

00:55:06.340 wider readership and it's more pernicious more sort of

00:55:14.300 more sort of calculating with what it does i would say 0.91

00:55:17.620 metro is just pretty openly white people are bad right brown people are brilliant right 0.75

00:55:24.320 socialism is great right eat the rich yeah whereas the guardian is a bit more like 0.97

00:55:30.560 plays its cards a little bit more closer to chess a little bit more

00:55:33.280 more subversive if anything I'll say

00:55:37.520 alright anyway the Guardian has it 74% to 26%

00:55:41.060 alright should we have a look at maybe

00:55:42.960 oh we'll have a look at the price of crude

00:55:44.360 Mr Trump has stopped bombing Persia

00:55:46.420 yeah it's cool to halt to it

00:55:50.380 to give them breathing space

00:55:51.420 well the price of crude has gone down a bit

00:55:53.560 West Texas just over $82 a barrel

00:55:56.620 Brent crude a little shy of $88 a barrel

00:56:00.000 so it's down from if we say the price yesterday or on friday anyway was up around rent was over

00:56:05.380 90 wasn't it or 94 95 something like that edging up closer and closer and closer to the hundred

00:56:10.280 dollars was back down a bit i can see how i can see how the dr turley angle i don't believe it

00:56:21.400 by the way i don't buy it but you can see how his take

00:56:25.880 could could read true if you really wanted to believe it i.e that it's the master plan it's

00:56:35.620 the 4d chess like strategy from the white house the state department and the pentagon to

00:56:42.060 have peaks and troughs of of striking iran you strike them and you smash them and the price of

00:56:50.520 oil goes up and up and up and then once it gets to a certain point you stop let the price of oil

00:56:55.020 come back down a bit and then repeat and that way you don't the price of oil doesn't just spike

00:57:00.960 up to like 150 dollars a barrel 200 dollars a barrel all-time hires i don't think that is what's

00:57:07.900 going on but if it is if it is they're playing that quite well because that is how it goes isn't

00:57:16.400 it when there's a period of america blowing stuff up in persia price just goes up and up and up

00:57:27.280 and then they stop and it comes down okay all right what else have we got what else have we got

00:57:39.600 there was one particular story i thought was interesting oh here we go in the mail

00:57:43.120 Trump issues blunt warning to Netanyahu

00:57:46.240 Before face-to-face showdown

00:57:47.660 As he prepares to hand Israel's top rival 0.88

00:57:49.740 A terrifying weapon

00:57:51.120 You might think, oh is this nuclear industry

00:57:55.180 To Saudi Arabia

00:57:56.980 No, it's F-35s to Turkey 0.97

00:57:59.820 Turkey and Israel don't get on 0.72

00:58:04.340 If you didn't know

00:58:05.180 They really don't get on

00:58:08.260 Many people have said

00:58:10.000 That the next country on Israel's list

00:58:13.020 will be turkey let's read a tiny bit of this donald trump has made clear that benjamin netanyahu

00:58:21.600 because i think benjamin netanyahu is with trump at the moment isn't he if it was maybe a day ago

00:58:26.260 now but okay donald trump has made clear to bibi uh that he will have no say over whether the us

00:58:33.840 sells f-35 fighter jets to israel's top regional rival a day before the two men also a day before

00:58:39.680 the two men are due to me in the Oval Office. Aboard Air Force One, the President fielded

00:58:43.460 questions on Israel's opposition to selling advanced fighter jets to Turkey, its long-time

00:58:48.640 rival. Turkey has been a great ally to me, Trump added. I won't keep the advice. Nobody

00:58:57.360 tells me what we should be selling or not. Turkey has been a tremendous ally.

00:59:01.520 Netty won't like that

00:59:07.120 Trump also claimed Israel

00:59:09.000 Wouldn't survive without support from the US

00:59:11.900 Israel would have been terminated 0.91

00:59:14.100 Months ago and years ago 1.00

00:59:15.680 If I didn't terminate the Obama

00:59:17.260 Horrible Iran deal

00:59:18.880 Says Trump

00:59:20.220 Those are Trump's words

00:59:21.260 Later Trump added

00:59:22.700 Turkey is not a big fan of Israel

00:59:25.920 You know that right 1.00

00:59:26.820 And not a big fan of Bibi 1.00

00:59:28.380 Yeah yeah

00:59:30.820 Ergudan and Neti hate each other

00:59:33.040 Strategic rivals in the region

00:59:35.080 Yeah

00:59:35.440 Relations between

00:59:40.700 This is the male's editorial again

00:59:42.900 Relations between

00:59:45.300 Turkey and Israel have collapsed

00:59:46.840 Over the past two years 1.00

00:59:47.980 It's been longer than that but okay

00:59:49.800 With Netanyahu describing Turkish President Ergudan's government 0.92

00:59:53.240 As a regime infected by the Muslim Brotherhood

00:59:56.060 I mean 1.00

00:59:56.800 Not entirely wrong

00:59:57.920 It's not wrong, actually, is it?

01:00:03.040 Israel objects to the sale of F-35 aircrafts

01:00:06.540 Because they claimed it would upset a balance of power in the region

01:00:09.600 They probably would say that

01:00:11.300 If a balance of power that just completely favours them

01:00:14.140 Yeah, maybe it would

01:00:15.120 So in that sense, I guess you can't blame Bibi in that sense, right?

01:00:23.340 Trump says nobody will tell him what to do

01:00:25.120 If he wants to sell F-35s to Turkey, he will

01:00:27.280 Although, as the article goes on to say

01:00:30.100 Despite Trump's apparent enthusiasm for the sale

01:00:32.940 US law still prevents it

01:00:34.760 Turkey was removed from the F-35 program

01:00:37.600 Buying F-35s

01:00:38.980 In 2019

01:00:40.160 After buying the Russian S-400 air defence system

01:00:43.840 And Congress passed legislation later that year

01:00:46.920 Barring any sale

01:00:48.280 Okay, it goes on, but

01:00:51.100 There you go

01:00:53.460 Trump

01:00:54.360 trump's letting the saudis have a nuclear industry and selling f-35s to turkey

01:01:04.280 over the objections of jerusalem or tel aviv rather um yeah i wonder if he's just playing

01:01:16.420 the game to sort of show iran look if you play ball with me with the west with the united states

01:01:22.180 If you play ball

01:01:23.100 You get stuff

01:01:25.860 All you've got to do is

01:01:28.360 Stop being sort of

01:01:30.260 Cuckoo 0.53

01:01:31.560 Cuckoo in the head

01:01:33.860 Is that what he said

01:01:34.580 About the Iranian regime

01:01:35.920 Stop being 1.00

01:01:37.160 Crazy Islamists 1.00

01:01:39.040 Give up your dreams of 1.00

01:01:44.020 Any sort of power

01:01:46.340 Hegemonic power

01:01:47.620 In the wider region

01:01:48.720 And who knows

01:01:50.880 One day maybe

01:01:51.660 Will actually let you have

01:01:52.880 Nuclear power at least

01:01:54.780 Sell your F-35s one day maybe

01:01:56.980 Who knows

01:01:57.320 But I don't know what's going on

01:01:58.740 I mean

01:01:59.000 Trump

01:01:59.740 Trump does whatever

01:02:01.880 Trump wants to do

01:02:02.780 Doesn't he really

01:02:03.520 I wouldn't 1.00

01:02:05.640 I wouldn't sell Turkey

01:02:06.960 Anything

01:02:07.280 If it's up to me

01:02:08.300 Don't like Ergadan

01:02:11.460 Don't trust Ergadan

01:02:12.460 Whatsoever

01:02:13.540 I wouldn't be selling him F-35s

01:02:17.300 In a million years 1.00

01:02:18.360 It's not because I'm pro-Israel 0.56

01:02:20.720 far from it not at all but why why i said in f-35s 0.85

01:02:26.800 all right let's see what else we got oh it's already nine o'clock

01:02:33.380 where did nine o'clock oh this particularly say oh i'm not in giant rush today um

01:02:39.820 oh actually i'm i've got a recording epochs haven't i okay okay well just quickly say then

01:02:46.900 hear this andy burnham and uh zelinski andy burnham's just said i'll just stand with you

01:02:53.900 a hundred percent of the time in the four and a half years

01:02:57.100 he can still count on britain watch the not just the words he's saying but like the

01:03:07.360 the body language and the tone and the tenor the intonation just the whole package

01:03:13.580 What do you make of this and support?

01:03:16.580 We kind of feel the injustice of what you've had to go through.

01:03:21.580 And we just are clear that it's our duty to be with you and support you.

01:03:28.580 So I'm really pleased that I get this opportunity to say this to you very quickly

01:03:33.580 because we wouldn't want to leave any impression at all that there may be any change because there isn't.

01:03:40.580 All right, there's been little change in real life.

01:03:43.580 it's our duty to protect ukrainians is it andy is it no it isn't crazy backward inverted perverted 0.51

01:03:55.060 nonsense is that it's our duty why is it nothing to do with us nothing mad all right mad just

01:04:05.260 completely mad a quick thing to say here i've never heard of this david singer

01:04:10.680 named david burke before this story broke a few weeks ago but harry does say he isn't a complete

01:04:17.440 nobody he has done some big important songs is that right harry yeah yeah so i think he did some

01:04:24.120 stuff for league of legends and uh invincible he did a song for them right okay okay it seems

01:04:33.820 almost certain he was in a sexual relationship with a 14 year old child who then threatened 0.98

01:04:40.580 to go public with that relationship so he butchered her literally killed her chopped her into bits

01:04:47.940 put her in a car and abandoned the car somewhere those are the allegations

01:04:57.300 okay david d4vd david

01:05:00.820 Okay

01:05:06.040 An utter 0.95

01:05:07.520 Psychopath

01:05:08.700 If proven guilty of the charges

01:05:12.060 From what I gather

01:05:15.500 It seems like he just did do it though

01:05:16.980 Alright

01:05:19.380 Shall we go on to this day in history

01:05:20.660 Let's

01:05:24.340 Let's go on to this day in history

01:05:26.840 I like doing that bit

01:05:28.180 You guys seems like doing that bit

01:05:29.260 Down through the centuries

01:05:30.000 Nay, the millennia

01:05:31.340 On this day, the 28th of July

01:05:33.200 What happened overnight?

01:05:34.100 Let's have a look

01:05:34.520 Okay, the execution of Maximilien Robespierre

01:05:37.840 On this day in 1794

01:05:40.840 French revolutionary figure

01:05:42.500 Maximilien Robespierre 0.72

01:05:44.360 And 22 other leaders of the terror

01:05:46.480 Are guillotined

01:05:48.520 To thunderous cheers in Paris 1.00

01:05:51.280 In gay Paris 1.00

01:05:53.180 Yeah, on 0.97

01:05:55.420 All sorts of content about the French Revolution

01:06:01.240 Not just in my series about Napoleon

01:06:03.080 But also other places

01:06:04.740 In fact, not too long ago, only a few weeks ago

01:06:06.960 I did a really long form bit of content

01:06:09.640 With Apostolic Majesty

01:06:10.880 True genius

01:06:12.360 True genius

01:06:15.300 His historical knowledge is absolutely incredible

01:06:19.440 It's incredible

01:06:20.020 The depth of his knowledge is really quite remarkable

01:06:25.400 anyway long form bit of content was it two series two episodes we made out of it even so it's like

01:06:29.960 a good three hours maybe four hours worth just talking about the french revolution

01:06:33.520 um i haven't got time to go into here but maximilian robespierre obviously famous for leading

01:06:39.920 the french revolutionary government during the height of the so-called terror where most people

01:06:45.240 Got executed

01:06:45.960 He himself

01:06:47.560 Got deposed

01:06:49.680 And guillotined

01:06:51.700 That was on this day

01:06:53.720 In 1794

01:06:55.020 On this day in 1914

01:06:56.420 Austria-Hungary decides against mediation

01:06:58.900 And declares war on Serbia

01:07:00.260 The first declaration of war

01:07:01.720 Of World War I

01:07:02.600 Obviously sparking off

01:07:05.300 Of the guns of August

01:07:07.260 And the beginning of World War I

01:07:08.660 It was just a cascade effect after that 0.72

01:07:10.760 Wasn't it?

01:07:11.180 historians have argued i've got talking with

01:07:17.880 uh all sorts of content about the beginning of work the kicking off of world war one but

01:07:24.940 particularly um talking with uh who was it it's a really good conversation as well who's i talking

01:07:30.960 to oh godders i was talking to godfrey bloom the godfrey bloom that was a great conversation

01:07:37.820 He knows his stuff as well

01:07:39.240 He really really knows his stuff

01:07:41.820 Talking about the beginning of World War 1 1.00

01:07:43.580 With old godders 1.00

01:07:44.740 I'd love to get him back 1.00

01:07:46.140 There's the sort of person I could just sit there

01:07:49.160 And just chat to for ages and ages

01:07:50.500 Just completely effortless

01:07:53.220 People have always argued

01:07:57.600 Whether it was Russia or Germany

01:07:59.280 Mobilised first

01:07:59.940 After Austria-Hungary

01:08:02.520 Decides to invade Serbia

01:08:03.960 What exactly 0.51

01:08:05.600 Almost moment to moment happened next

01:08:07.820 is it that germany mobilized first which forced russia to or the germans thought the russians

01:08:12.580 were going to mobilize so they went first it ends up germany coming into the war on the side of

01:08:18.980 austria-hungary russia mobilizing against effectively both germany and austria-hungary

01:08:25.860 france declaring war on germany then britain declaring on the side of

01:08:32.880 France and Russia

01:08:35.400 Against Germany and Austria-Hungary 0.56

01:08:37.260 The war starts

01:08:38.180 The guns of August

01:08:39.820 If Austria-Hungary had decided

01:08:43.760 To not attack Serbia

01:08:45.180 Which was never really going to happen

01:08:47.880 But let's just say

01:08:48.500 Just an alternative history

01:08:50.260 Would World War I have happened? 0.76

01:08:55.920 If the Austro-Hungarian Emperor

01:08:57.720 Decided to not do that

01:09:00.060 His hands were kind of tired

01:09:02.560 Or at least he felt they were

01:09:03.920 Interesting story

01:09:06.400 Would something like World War I have happened

01:09:08.380 A little further down the road anyway

01:09:09.800 Even if that wasn't the final spark

01:09:11.880 Who knows, okay, the worst catastrophe Europe's ever known

01:09:16.820 By far, in my opinion

01:09:17.860 We're still living in the wake

01:09:19.980 In the shadows of it, in my opinion

01:09:22.160 Okay, on this day, 1917

01:09:24.680 The silent parade

01:09:26.300 Organised by James Weldon Johnson

01:09:28.960 10,000 African Americans

01:09:31.120 March on 5th Avenue in NYC

01:09:32.980 To protest against lynchings

01:09:34.560 Did they?

01:09:36.760 On this day in 1943

01:09:38.640 Operation Gomorrah

01:09:40.340 RAF bombing over Hamburg

01:09:42.140 Causes a firestorm

01:09:43.280 That kills 42,600 Germans' feelings

01:09:45.500 We talked a little bit about Hamburg

01:09:47.420 The firebombing of Hamburg, didn't we?

01:09:49.360 The other day

01:09:49.920 When it came up in

01:09:51.260 When it came up in

01:09:53.980 This feed

01:09:55.400 That operation started

01:09:57.200 Because Hamburg was

01:09:59.820 Medieval town

01:10:02.500 A lot of it was still wood

01:10:03.440 Wooden timbers

01:10:04.120 And this is earlier on in the war

01:10:07.920 They didn't necessarily know

01:10:09.320 That a firestorm of that magnitude

01:10:11.940 Would happen

01:10:13.320 They didn't actually know

01:10:15.420 Because later in the war

01:10:17.840 Places like Tokyo

01:10:20.060 Firebombing of Tokyo

01:10:22.160 It was very very very deliberate

01:10:23.900 By that point

01:10:24.580 They were like how could we recreate

01:10:26.280 What happened in Hamburg 0.95

01:10:28.000 that was great that ruined the city that was good we want to recreate that so later in the war they're 0.55

01:10:33.760 very very deliberately using different types of munitions and taking into account the wind and

01:10:38.800 all sorts of stuff to try and get a terrible firestorm like that here they had hoped they

01:10:43.120 thought that maybe but they never knew it would go that big of a runaway effect

01:10:48.400 Terrible really

01:10:53.960 Because of course obviously

01:10:55.420 A lot of those people

01:10:57.380 Were completely innocent

01:10:59.320 Weren't they

01:11:00.520 May well not even have ever voted NSDAP

01:11:03.700 Or anything 1.00

01:11:04.340 Women, children, old people

01:11:07.540 Pets, everything

01:11:09.320 Everyone consumed by the fire

01:11:11.080 Okay

01:11:14.360 It was a total war though

01:11:16.360 They decided it was a total war

01:11:17.820 All right, on this day, 1976

01:11:22.320 The Tangshan earthquake, 7.6 in magnitude

01:11:29.480 Kills over 300,000 people in northern China

01:11:32.600 The largest loss of life from an earthquake in the 20th century

01:11:35.600 Remarkable

01:11:36.760 That caused flooding as well, is that why the numbers are so big? 1.00

01:11:43.420 Yeah, you look back through Chinese history

01:11:45.840 Of the number of earthquakes and floods

01:11:47.300 That kill hundreds of thousands of people

01:11:49.900 Every single time

01:11:50.860 Loads, you can go on Wikipedia or whatever

01:11:54.880 Or just Google it and have a list of them

01:11:57.580 It's a long list

01:11:59.260 A frightfully long list

01:12:01.600 Alright, on this day in 2005

01:12:06.500 The Provisional Irish Republican Army

01:12:08.700 Calls an end to its 30 year long

01:12:10.340 Armed campaign in Northern Ireland 0.89

01:12:11.860 Yeah, well done

01:12:14.740 get the queen to shake martin mcginnis's hand

01:12:21.260 brilliant all right let's look at our rumble rents and super chats

01:12:27.980 let me do this one mic so i can see the second see the left side of my screen all right the

01:12:35.620 rumble rents what have we got oh yeah i saw this morning global church history was pipped to the

01:12:42.900 post i think he might have gone over onto youtube in order to get in first there as well but

01:12:47.900 you can't win them all global choice history can't win them all

01:12:52.460 so who beat him who was it it was jeffrey farnall jeffrey farnall and no

01:13:03.340 the new champ jeffrey farnall says says all right bosky all right mate

01:13:12.900 when you started at the real bbc beau's breakfast club was it your idea or did carl come up to you

01:13:21.040 and say you're the man the people need to hear at 8 a.m no that was my idea i had the idea a long

01:13:28.040 time ago a long long time ago i think it was it was within one year or so of starting at lotus

01:13:33.200 suitors like four years ago something like that i floated the idea to karl um and he never said

01:13:42.360 no he was never like it's a definite no i hate that idea it's just like maybe yeah that's not

01:13:46.160 a bad idea maybe at some point in the future that was that was his feeling that a year or two go by

01:13:52.420 and mention it to him every now and again you know if you ever fancy that if you fancy that i'd i'd do

01:13:57.760 bit a little bit of spittle when I spoke there apologies for that I don't even know if the camera

01:14:03.720 picked it up anyway Cole would say yeah yeah it's not a bad idea it's not a bad idea I'm not vetoing

01:14:08.560 it but we're not quite in a place to do it for a number of reasons for a long time as well

01:14:13.480 Lotus Eater's a little bit of behind the scenes Lotus Eater's law for a period near the beginning

01:14:19.740 in the first two three years we had like a bit of a bottleneck of behind the scenes editors people

01:14:26.740 we were basically making more content than they could realistically timely edit and get through

01:14:33.580 there's a little bit of a bottleneck there so the idea that we'll do another whole show every morning

01:14:37.820 was just like logistically technically not feasible so it was so the whole idea was just

01:14:44.620 put on the back burner eventually things go by we get a bit bit bit bit bigger bit better a bit more

01:14:52.040 more slack and uh i raised the idea again and i was like yeah maybe and we talked a bit about

01:15:00.520 you know what channel what platform it will be on what it's actually going to be

01:15:05.120 and uh yeah and eventually i say so i first i first mooted the idea years ago and then

01:15:14.840 in like autumn i guess it was autumn last year at some point kyle just said

01:15:20.220 do you want to do the breakfast show i was like yeah all right well yeah all right so that's how

01:15:26.820 that went basically all right the origin story kind of maybe i'll write a book one day

01:15:36.660 give you all the details all right fool and firebird says hi bo on the climate change topic

01:15:44.620 co2 might only be a tiny number of parts per million but even small shifts in that can 0.96

01:15:50.180 Have an exponential effect

01:15:51.640 On finely balanced systems

01:15:53.420 Like Earth's climate

01:15:54.480 Not really

01:15:55.060 No, not really

01:15:56.240 Not as much as you might think

01:16:00.340 If you look back at geological time

01:16:03.360 You can do ice cores

01:16:05.820 Right

01:16:06.320 If you look back at how much, much, much higher

01:16:10.000 Orders of magnitude higher

01:16:11.600 CO2 levels in the atmosphere

01:16:13.000 And was the atmosphere

01:16:17.080 Exponentially different

01:16:19.440 Not really, not necessarily

01:16:21.500 Certainly getting nowhere near

01:16:26.440 A runaway greenhouse effect

01:16:28.860 Which is what the alarmists say

01:16:31.760 Don't they

01:16:32.280 A greenhouse effect

01:16:35.700 A runaway greenhouse effect

01:16:37.920 So I just simply don't agree with you there

01:16:42.700 I'm afraid to fall on fire

01:16:43.600 But thanks for the super chat

01:16:44.620 And being part of the glorious band

01:16:45.940 The Chosen Few

01:16:46.440 I think you're over estimating that

01:16:49.420 That's what they say though, isn't it?

01:16:51.360 That's part of the whole

01:16:52.220 That's part of the whole narrative

01:16:54.480 When someone like me says the sorts of things I say

01:16:56.780 They fire back with something like that

01:16:58.500 And I don't think it's true

01:17:00.060 Again, you can look at the history of the climate

01:17:05.000 And the Earth's climate

01:17:05.800 To some extent it's true

01:17:08.300 But

01:17:09.120 They'll say, oh no, but if it goes up beyond 500 parts

01:17:13.120 If it goes up beyond 600 parts per million

01:17:15.040 Then we're in real trouble

01:17:16.420 No, no we're not

01:17:17.560 No

01:17:17.780 that could be a few thousand parts per million and it'll be okay we'll just get mega fauna

01:17:23.000 flora rather well both maybe there'll be no runaway greenhouse effect be many many many

01:17:31.140 times higher than it is now that's not what they say that's not what they argue do they

01:17:35.080 if it goes above 550 650 parts per million then we screwed there won't be an earth left to save

01:17:41.600 and stuff like what are you talking about you know nonsense all right the next one's also

01:17:46.720 From Fallen Firebird

01:17:47.600 He says

01:17:47.980 That's not at all

01:17:50.700 To justify

01:17:51.760 Any psychopathy

01:17:53.860 Any psychopathic 0.99

01:17:55.700 Leftist

01:17:56.540 Solutions to climate change

01:17:58.320 Or the obvious hysteria

01:17:59.920 Natural systems

01:18:01.920 Can be increasingly sensitive

01:18:03.340 Sorry, incredible

01:18:04.420 Can be incredibly sensitive

01:18:06.960 To tiny changes in temperatures

01:18:08.620 Etc, etc

01:18:09.380 Yeah, a bit

01:18:10.160 I mean, you're not wrong

01:18:10.940 Fair point, actually

01:18:12.740 That you said

01:18:14.020 You're being completely reasonable

01:18:15.800 And fair, aren't you?

01:18:16.720 But again, the earth, the idea that humans are like so, I think the hubris of it

01:18:26.700 The earth's climate has always fluctuated and fluctuated wildly

01:18:31.060 Wildly

01:18:32.720 The earth finds a way

01:18:34.540 Was it 99.99% of all species that have ever lived, flora and fauna, are extinct?

01:18:42.060 The world moves on

01:18:43.800 We've had snowball earth

01:18:47.280 And we've had no ice caps at all

01:18:49.080 That's without humans at all

01:18:54.780 Without a single human being on the earth

01:18:56.380 The idea, the concept

01:18:59.940 That we must keep temperatures, global temperatures

01:19:03.000 Like as they are now

01:19:05.680 Or as they were in the late 19th century

01:19:08.180 And throughout the 20th century

01:19:09.320 Any movement or fluctuation from that is disastrous

01:19:12.520 It's disastrous for ecosystems

01:19:15.000 And all that sort of thing

01:19:17.600 No, it's beyond our control

01:19:21.120 The Earth's climate is in flux

01:19:25.760 Will always be in flux

01:19:27.500 And is largely, almost entirely beyond our control

01:19:30.680 We don't control it

01:19:33.800 The idea that it will move or swing wildly

01:19:37.860 Yeah, we're along for the ride on that

01:19:40.060 The fact that we pump a bit of CO2 into the atmosphere

01:19:44.000 Burning of fossil fuels

01:19:45.720 There's a tiny, tiny element in that

01:19:49.200 I'm not saying it's completely inconsequential

01:19:51.500 It isn't

01:19:52.940 Does it drive climate change? No

01:19:55.660 No

01:19:57.000 Yeah, ecosystems are very sensitive to tiny changes

01:20:01.960 Yeah, that's true to say

01:20:02.760 Yeah

01:20:03.120 That's the way it's always been

01:20:05.200 For billions, with a B

01:20:07.580 For billions of years, that's the case

01:20:09.400 and will continue to be for billions of years think about what you're what you're saying not

01:20:15.200 just you fall on fiber not having a pop at you necessarily think about what they're saying

01:20:18.140 their argument we need global temperatures to remain as they were basically during the 20th

01:20:22.360 century why it's completely arbitrary completely impossible completely impossible thing to do

01:20:28.080 to stop the earth's climate to stop it in its tracks so it doesn't get any hotter or colder

01:20:33.920 What? What are you talking about? What madness is that?

01:20:40.580 We think if we tweak a few things, we can make the Earth's climate stop being in flux

01:20:46.240 You're out of your mind, you don't know what you're talking about

01:20:50.820 That could only possibly make sense to a child's mind

01:20:58.740 That doesn't know anything about the history of the Earth 0.98

01:21:02.060 okay and the last one last rumble rant from fool of firebird says 0.96

01:21:08.560 the zach polensky thing is a crime if for no other reason than because he is an enemy of the 0.93

01:21:15.060 english and european people he would gulag us forever uh for a tenth of the crime no free

01:21:21.480 speech for enemies i mean apart from the very last bit there i agree with you yeah he if he

01:21:29.940 know that someone like David Paulding, you know that if he was some sort of complete

01:21:37.460 all-powerful autocrat, like Mao or something, yeah, he would be gulagging millions of us,

01:21:46.060 all his political enemies. You know he would. You can tell. You can tell, can't you? But

01:21:51.720 he would. I bet he daydreams about such a thing. This disgusting freak. The last bit

01:21:58.060 you put there though i can't i can't agree with no free speech for enemies i mean

01:22:02.540 now i don't agree with that i'm sorry but

01:22:08.360 the rest of it i do all right let's do the youtube ones harry you need to do that for me

01:22:15.860 if you can bring that up my screen can you uh make it so engage there it is okay

01:22:20.460 all right oh global church history is in at number one on on youtube i thought i saw it

01:22:28.060 First name global

01:22:31.200 Middle name church

01:22:32.700 Surname history

01:22:33.560 Now head mod

01:22:37.600 Is he head mod?

01:22:38.640 I'm just making it up

01:22:39.480 He's lead mod

01:22:41.100 Chief mod

01:22:42.680 First mod

01:22:47.780 Okay you've put

01:22:49.840 Today in 1586

01:22:54.080 Harriet brought potatoes to England

01:22:56.540 oh right um so thomas harriet right so thomas harriet a man it's not a woman called harriet

01:23:03.860 thomas harriet brings potatoes back from england so yeah that would have been

01:23:08.520 that would have been sir walter riley's first first roanoke expedition walter riley never

01:23:16.000 set foot in virginia he never set foot in north america he did go to south america was it

01:23:21.500 mesoamerica anyway he did he did go on one expedition to there but he never set foot in

01:23:26.160 north america himself at all personally he did send it finance and politically back

01:23:31.740 expeditions to north america to virginia or carolina sorry um roanoke island is off of

01:23:39.340 north carolina isn't it anyway and it was doomed we've talked about that before haven't we it was

01:23:43.780 doomed when some of the first people came back because at first before it was finally finally

01:23:49.700 doomed they tried to come back or some did come back that was right when the spanish armada thing

01:23:56.340 happened they brought back potatoes for the first time to thomas harriet okay there you go

01:24:03.860 next one keifer brown 1337 says on this day in 1741 and 1750 respectively

01:24:10.260 famed classical composers antonio vivaldi and johann sebastian bach each died at the hands of

01:24:17.140 Eamon Holmes oh dear I didn't see that coming until the very last moment I have to keep

01:24:27.540 explaining it every morning it's not I can't keep explaining it every morning you either

01:24:32.980 get the in-joke or you don't needless to say Kiefer Brown 1337 nor I Bode nor LotusEaters.com

01:24:43.060 Actually think that Eamon Holmes

01:24:45.960 Was responsible for the death of Vivaldi and Bach

01:24:48.240 Just a joke

01:24:51.400 In poor taste

01:24:53.320 Get well soon Eamon

01:24:56.040 Okay, the next one

01:25:01.540 StuKHP

01:25:05.360 Says

01:25:07.160 On this day in history today

01:25:08.920 I did a massive fart

01:25:10.180 I like Purell humour like that 0.99

01:25:15.180 Silly seven year old humour 1.00

01:25:18.420 I quite like it 0.99

01:25:19.760 Okay

01:25:20.340 Regional synagogue

01:25:23.380 Presentism

01:25:26.320 Regional synagogue presentism

01:25:29.020 Says

01:25:30.120 I just had to read that

01:25:35.620 To make sure it wasn't too spicy

01:25:36.580 Or get the channel in trouble

01:25:38.300 But it won't

01:25:38.980 It says, your 7K won't be coming until you renounce that global church history bloke, Mr. Bowe.

01:25:48.460 I haven't accepted the 7K, nor will I.

01:25:53.540 You must be, you are joking, of course.

01:25:57.340 I will never abandon global church history.

01:26:00.320 Never.

01:26:03.980 Okay, James Lee Pevenhall says,

01:26:07.400 pre-yuppie years boys in the west midlands were encouraged to go into engineering and metalcraft

01:26:14.120 yuppie is young up upwardly mobile professional yes i pre the yuppie is basically like the 80s

01:26:20.920 isn't it like yuppie has become a thing in like thatcher's 80s didn't they yeah before that

01:26:26.820 people encouraged into things more like engineering a bit more yeah

01:26:31.420 Okay, in the same person again

01:26:36.020 James Lee Pevenhall says

01:26:38.260 Bayeux Tapestry, Scene 35

01:26:40.600 Shipwreck, left to right the shipwreck

01:26:42.840 Odo

01:26:43.360 My ex-wife's ancestor

01:29:31.960 adventures of henry the fifth in tons of detail was it 10 15 hours

01:29:37.080 Maybe as much as 20 hours worth

01:29:38.800 The real history of course

01:29:43.020 Do I need to see 1.00

01:29:46.860 Chamolais butchering 1.00

01:29:48.960 Shakespeare's version of it

01:29:51.140 Not really

01:29:51.840 I'm not breaking my neck too

01:29:53.860 I must say

01:29:54.480 But you say

01:29:55.360 And I trust your judgement

01:29:56.180 You say it's good

01:29:57.420 And I have heard one or two other people

01:29:58.560 Say it's not bad

01:29:59.340 Perhaps I should swallow my pride

01:30:03.040 Just watch it

01:30:06.220 all right thanks for the super chat anyway keifer brown 1337 says uh the earliest example of an

01:30:13.460 inheritance tax was imposed by emperor augustus in 6 ad it was suggested by his trusted friend

01:30:19.300 and advisor

01:30:20.140 all right that's good that's that's that's quite good when i was reading it i was like

01:30:31.540 I don't think Augustus did it in Inheritance X

01:30:35.880 I don't think he did, did he?

01:30:37.260 Did he? Have I forgotten that?

01:30:39.700 Where did you get that? Was that in Plutarch?

01:30:41.340 What was that? Is that in...

01:30:42.660 It's just a joke, you're just joking

01:30:45.460 Oh, did he? Did Augustus? Did Octavian do that in 6 AD?

01:30:51.880 Anyway, it's another Eamon Holmes joke

01:30:53.920 Augustus also lost whole legions in the Teutoburg forest

01:31:01.820 His eagles, his legions chopped to bits and his eagles captured

01:31:05.940 Who was responsible for that?

01:31:08.280 Eamon Holmes, obviously

01:31:09.560 Okay

01:31:14.280 For the first time in the chat yesterday

01:31:18.580 I saw someone the first time saying

01:31:20.320 Is the Eamon Holmes joke getting a bit old?

01:31:23.920 might be i don't know i'm still finding it quite funny but it might get old okay

01:31:30.340 rodney that's their name at rod underscore knee says burnham is in my opinion at least

01:31:37.860 as bad as starmer yeah oh at least it's bad yeah that's the same guy he's got slightly

01:31:43.140 more charisma hasn't he's not quite as robotic that's it other than that they're the same

01:31:47.200 guy, basically the same politics, basically. Could he be worse? Could he drive the economy

01:31:54.880 off the cliff even faster? Yes, totally potential for that. Is that the fault of the 3,000 restore

01:32:04.120 voters in Makerfield? No, because Burnham would have won anyway. I reformed people

01:32:10.520 making that argument even if every single vote from all the other parties were given to reform

01:32:18.140 and rob kenyon in that election burnham still won a weird argument reform people blaming restore

01:32:26.200 people for burnham now being the prime minister no who believes that what a weird argument

01:32:33.120 we can see the results we can see the results what are you talking about okay

01:32:40.680 erwin romulus says the metro escaped london a long time ago oh did it back in 2008 in south

01:33:07.980 i didn't know that you get the metro in wales oh okay all right that was news to me i thought it

01:33:16.280 was just london i really did apologies if i ever get things factually wrong it will be in good

01:33:22.200 faith i'll never deliberately try and tell you something that i thought was factual knowing it

01:34:09.440 middle-aged, you would almost certainly have had some ups and downs, right? But no, on

01:34:50.360 Can you google it Peter Lynch

01:34:51.680 Was he the guy that was at one of those Southport

01:34:54.200 Reaction

01:34:55.520 Riots or protests

01:34:58.380 And he didn't really do anything

01:34:59.820 The police arrested him put him in prison

01:35:01.320 He didn't really do anything

01:35:04.880 Was that the guy

01:35:05.460 Yeah that him yeah yeah

01:35:06.360 Okay yeah

01:35:07.600 Yeah

01:35:09.220 One of the worst

01:35:11.620 In modern times

01:35:12.580 I feel like

01:35:13.300 One of the most 0.97

01:35:14.120 Disgusting travesties 0.97

01:35:15.340 He didn't do anything 0.95

01:35:17.120 But the judge said

01:35:19.040 You were part of a mob

01:35:20.240 What you did and said

01:35:22.560 Which wasn't really anything

01:35:23.920 Really anything

01:35:24.920 That contributed to

01:35:27.240 The mob

01:35:28.480 In some way

01:35:29.580 So here's two years

01:35:31.300 Or was it more

01:35:31.860 Two and a half years

01:35:33.020 Can't remember what his

01:35:33.740 Extra sentence was

01:35:34.620 And he was a 61 year old dude

01:35:37.500 And it seems like

01:35:39.120 It broke him

01:35:39.860 Psychologically

01:35:41.940 Emotionally

01:35:42.500 Or something

01:35:42.940 And he 0.64

01:35:43.940 He killed himself

01:35:44.860 Didn't he

01:35:45.540 His name was

01:35:54.800 Peter Lynch

01:35:55.520 Should be much

01:35:56.900 More remembered

01:35:57.720 Absolutely

01:35:58.380 Yeah

01:36:01.860 Hear hear 0.99

01:36:02.480 Belgians are evil 1.00

01:36:03.200 Trust me 1.00

01:36:03.720 Yeah well done

01:36:05.160 For

01:36:05.460 For saying that

01:36:07.060 Yeah

01:36:07.660 Quite right

01:36:09.120 Okay, the second one you've put there is 1.00

01:36:12.340 Idiotic Floyd riots 0.99

01:36:14.920 But no statue for Peter 1.00

01:36:16.420 Joke

01:36:17.000 Yeah

01:36:17.400 That weird 1.00

01:36:23.300 That weird brown person 1.00

01:36:25.340 That was trying to set flyer to the 1.00

01:36:26.900 The flag on the cenotaph

01:36:29.520 I think they were given a mild custodial sentence

01:36:36.380 Well there's examples in recent times

01:36:38.340 aren't there of actual actual paedophiles getting suspended sentences

01:36:44.000 but this guy somebody like sam melia and they haven't done anything wrong

01:36:51.720 their crime their real crime really isn't it is to have simply not stayed indoors and been quiet

01:36:58.740 and rolled over just allow their country to go to pot their crime is to not have stayed indoors 0.59

01:37:05.140 And stayed stum

01:37:06.460 That's their crime

01:37:07.800 And a judge robbed them of their liberty

01:37:11.280 And in the case of Peter Lynch

01:37:13.220 It broke him, didn't it, it seems

01:37:15.980 Oh, it's infuriating

01:37:23.420 There should be a statue to commemorate the injustice

01:37:28.460 Peter Lynch's name should echo through history

01:37:32.940 As a byword for injustice

01:37:34.400 This system we live under now

01:37:37.940 The insanity and cruelty and injustice of it

01:37:41.400 R.I.P. Peter Lynch

01:37:46.580 Yeah, 100%

01:37:47.880 Alright, the last half a dozen

01:37:52.800 Brendan Lucas 9732 says

01:37:55.180 I guess there's a typo there

01:38:01.120 Because there's a letter missing

01:38:02.000 But I guess what you're saying is 0.99

01:38:03.040 Would you kiss a trans for a grand? 1.00

01:38:05.820 No 1.00

01:38:06.060 No

01:38:08.140 Not even close

01:38:14.820 It's nowhere near enough money for me

01:38:16.180 I guess everyone's got a number

01:38:17.720 A grand 0.94

01:38:19.620 I don't want to be too much of a dick about it

01:38:22.040 But that's not that much money 0.93

01:38:23.200 It's quite a lot of money

01:38:27.780 But no I wouldn't

01:38:28.560 Brendan Lucas again says

01:38:32.460 what are your favourite war games to play

01:38:34.960 Bo? Or Siv 4? I'm a Siv 4

01:38:37.160 man. Sid Meier

01:38:39.020 Civilization 4. They're now up to

01:38:41.040 7 aren't they? Or is it even 8? Definitely 7.

01:38:43.920 Not interested in any of that. Not interested

01:38:45.080 in playing Siv 2 or 3 or anything.

01:38:47.920 Siv 5? No. Siv 4.

01:38:49.840 Like a 20 year old game.

01:38:53.980 I love it. It's just perfect

01:38:55.080 for me. I love everything about it.

01:39:00.520 Okay.

01:39:00.920 brendan lucas lucas again says wasn't odo on star trek

01:39:06.240 it was either the next generation or deep space nine wasn't he like the shapeshifter one i didn't

01:39:11.340 watch a lot of deep space nine wasn't the shapeshifter odo odo from star trek and count

01:39:18.900 odo of by or bishop odo of by your two very different people you know that i know you know

01:39:25.500 Okay

01:39:26.400 Brendan Lucas again says

01:39:28.720 Was there no law against murder in Rome

01:39:31.000 You said

01:39:32.720 There was no law against murder in Rome

01:39:34.920 But there was a law against

01:39:36.260 Wait is this going to be an Eamon Holmes thing

01:39:37.920 No it's not

01:39:39.040 Okay

01:39:39.300 There was no law against murder in Rome

01:39:42.960 But there was a law against public disturbance

01:39:45.100 If you had a good enough excuse

01:39:47.020 You could get away with it

01:39:48.460 Don't know what you're talking about

01:39:51.460 I don't think that's alright

01:39:52.680 Where have you read that

01:39:53.520 What source have you got for that

01:39:55.500 what period of rome are you talking about the early republic

01:40:00.920 the late empire i don't think that's correct i'm afraid

01:40:05.680 okay although if you give me a source there's like a line in tacitus that says that or something

01:40:15.620 i'll stand corrected okay brendan luke's again says labor polling jumps that higher to 28

01:40:21.940 Just shows you how a nice sounding sentiment catches on 0.99

01:40:24.980 With 60 year old women who should know better 1.00

01:40:27.580 Haha, oof 1.00

01:40:28.680 Yeah

01:40:30.280 Oh, that Burnham young man

01:40:32.740 Oh, he's nice, isn't he?

01:40:33.780 I think I might vote Labour now 0.99

01:40:35.120 It's as lame and pathetic as that, isn't it? 0.99

01:40:39.740 Sometimes, for some people 0.99

01:40:40.820 Okay, Tatum2733 says

01:40:43.820 Golden brown, texture like sun

01:40:45.520 I love that

01:40:46.000 I do that, I don't know

01:40:47.240 I've said that a number of times

01:40:48.600 anyone who might not know

01:40:52.820 he's too young or something

01:40:54.060 there's that song isn't there

01:40:55.800 Golden Brown

01:40:57.620 the song Golden Brown

01:40:59.940 and the lyrics are

01:41:02.460 golden brown, texture like sun

01:41:04.740 you could say golden brown, texture like sun

01:41:08.380 I think that's funny

01:41:09.100 that hasn't got old for me

01:41:10.820 in years and years and years

01:41:11.840 I'll keep saying that from time to time

01:41:13.320 okay, Brendan Lucas again said

01:41:15.620 Rome had a phase

01:41:17.080 had a phase for plausible deniable subversion it was quid tibi viz so if you made if you made 0.91

01:41:27.400 hell and there's black romans would immediately express would immediately express say phase i

01:41:33.940 don't it's a bit that's a bit garbled down i'm afraid brendanicus i'm reading exactly what

01:41:38.760 you've written romans would immediately express save do you mean said phrase they would immediately

01:41:44.800 express said phrase, I guess is what you're

01:41:46.860 trying to write there

01:41:47.660 plausible

01:41:50.960 deniable sub

01:41:52.280 plausible deniable subversion

01:41:54.180 okay, well, I mean

01:41:55.740 in the age of some of the terrors

01:41:58.940 during the age of

01:42:00.560 Domitian or something, or

01:42:02.280 Commodus

01:42:03.120 or Nero

01:42:05.080 okay, interesting

01:42:09.300 interesting, again, I'll probably be interested

01:42:11.740 to know exactly, exactly

01:42:13.880 what you're talking about there i i know i know what you mean various points they had sort of

01:42:18.920 informer societies okay all right and the last one from brandon lucas again says ds9 was pretty good

01:42:32.120 oh deep space nine right deep space nine it's pretty good i watched a bit of it i just

01:42:36.200 I prefer the original

01:42:38.360 William Shatner

01:42:39.340 1960s

01:42:41.020 Leonard Nimoy

01:42:42.340 Original

01:42:43.260 I like those ones

01:42:45.660 They're so

01:42:46.280 Now

01:42:47.100 They're so sort of

01:42:48.240 Kitsch

01:42:48.660 And retro

01:42:49.620 That they're cool again

01:42:51.400 To me

01:42:51.900 I think

01:42:52.360 Didn't get into

01:42:55.420 Like Voyager

01:42:56.140 Or anything

01:42:56.560 Or all the other

01:42:58.460 All the other stuff

01:42:59.060 Anyway
