00:01:40.720 tune into that every morning radio 2 and it's like their premiere radio slot and whoever has
00:01:47.840 that slot is sort of semi-famous well very famous in radio world and like usually the same person

00:02:00.400 going to be next like after this Scott Mills has been fired it's like oh is it going to be Sarah

00:02:08.860 going to get the job I never listened to the radio never have never have listened to the radio
00:02:14.440 Hardly, hardly ever
00:02:16.740 I never get in and think
00:02:18.340 Oh I know, I'll pop the radio on
00:02:20.020 I don't own a radio set
00:02:22.740 You can get the radio on your laptop as well
00:02:24.320 I never think, oh I know
00:02:25.320 I won't bother watching YouTube
00:02:27.800 I won't bother watching something good
00:02:30.140 I'll put the radio on
00:02:31.520 I mean, but millions of people still do though
00:02:34.020 Millions of people still do
00:02:35.360 Probably older people, is that fair to say?
00:02:41.660 Alright, so
00:02:42.780 Scott Mills
00:02:43.600 man in his early 50s a gay man he's got a male husband okay so he's been sacked now that is
00:02:54.640 all over the front pages of the news today they've decided they're getting bored with iran
00:02:58.640 cabal the fleet street editors yeah a bit bored of iran lads yeah let's do something else
00:03:04.800 can dog pile on scott mills who may or may not have done something terrible
00:03:10.740 Let's all go with that, mostly
00:03:12.820 And Stammer's full take out our ultimatum
00:03:16.980 Which is to junior trainee doctors
00:03:20.180 They've got a union
00:03:22.660 And they're always asking for more
00:03:25.420 Always, always asking for more
00:03:27.120 And they've threatened to do a strike, a walkout
00:03:30.440 A bit out of order
00:03:32.220 If you're a doctor, a policeman or a fireman
00:03:34.220 Don't do strikes
00:03:35.500 Don't do strikes
00:03:38.120 That's really scumbag behaviour
00:03:41.000 But the junior doctors
00:03:42.500 Those of whom are like foreign
00:03:44.880 Or second, third generation immigrants
00:03:47.120 They don't care
00:03:47.760 They don't seem to care
00:03:49.140 Getting paid much more than minimum wage
00:03:54.200 Still not a great wage
00:03:57.860 But they're getting paid alright
00:04:00.240 And where they've struck and played all sorts of games
00:04:04.440 Over the last few months or years
00:04:06.800 They got all sorts of concessions out of the government
00:04:11.280 Like the previous Rishi government and stuff
00:04:13.780 One of them was like 4,000 new jobs
00:04:16.220 4,000 more of them
00:04:17.580 And
00:04:18.960 Starmer's saying
00:04:23.200 I'll give you 48 hours
00:04:24.360 Otherwise I'm rescinding that
00:04:25.960 It's all a bit weak isn't it
00:04:28.140 The strikes of yesteryear were so much more badass
00:04:31.120 Nowadays strikes are like
00:04:33.400 A teacher's union say
00:04:35.100 or these junior doctors unions
00:04:37.520 they say, if you don't meet our demands
00:04:39.460 we'll walk out for a couple of days
00:04:41.500 or a rail union, we'll walk out for a couple of days
00:04:43.500 we'll definitely come back after that
00:04:45.580 but
00:04:45.840 and like the government side
00:04:49.180 will be like, oh well we might
00:04:51.300 this little concession we already gave you, we might
00:04:53.360 rescind that, it's all a bit milquetoast
00:04:55.300 compared to
00:04:56.220 how strikes used to go down
00:04:58.580 strikes used to be, the whole point of it
00:05:02.960 was that you walked out
00:05:04.880 indefinitely
00:05:06.100 until you, the workers
00:05:09.140 either couldn't hack it anymore
00:05:10.440 you had to come back with your towel between your legs
00:05:12.940 because your family was starving
00:05:14.160 or the government crumbled
00:05:16.980 stakes used to be a lot higher
00:05:20.320 I'm not saying it's necessarily better that way
00:05:21.760 but strikes these days
00:05:23.460 like everything else
00:05:24.200 just seems like a wet lettuce version
00:05:26.420 of how things used to be
00:05:27.700 like a weak, lame shadow of a shadow
00:05:31.520 of the way things used to be
00:05:34.880 All right, anyway, let's get into it. The Guardian.
00:05:44.020 The Guardian.
00:05:47.460 Okay, there's Scott Mills. There's a picture of gay Scott Mills.
00:05:52.900 Should we get into the story then?
00:05:54.380 Sacked by the BBC over claims about conduct.
00:05:57.580 So, the story is that we don't know exactly what he did.
00:06:04.880 because Scott himself and the person or people I think it's one person who might
00:06:12.980 have been might have been his victim neither of those people have come out
00:06:17.560 and said exactly what it is that he's supposed to have done what his conduct
00:06:22.400 was that is so bad however what it seems like it is what a lot of the report is I
00:06:32.120 don't spend too much time on this because i don't care about scott mills or bbc radio at all
00:06:37.600 other than to just say you know the bbc is some sort of den of sex criminals the number of sex
00:06:44.920 criminals full-blown shown to be convicted sex criminals that come out of the bbc is mad
00:06:52.700 man like way way way way way above average for like the general population i mean how many sex
00:07:01.260 criminals are there per 1 000 people per 10 000 people right at the bbc way above that anyway this
00:07:07.960 is the latest one he hasn't so okay the story is in 2016 no long you know long time ago 10 years ago
00:07:16.200 um he was in trouble with the police over a possible i don't know i don't even know if it
00:07:26.040 was actual full-blown sexual assault or not but some sort of impropriety with a teenage boy
00:07:31.100 right and the police investigated it at the time and found that like there wasn't enough evidence
00:07:40.480 they didn't go through with a full trial and prosecution because they may or the cps
00:07:45.200 made the calculation that they probably wouldn't win at trial
00:07:49.180 the crown wouldn't win at trial so so they don't go through the trial that's how that works
00:07:55.080 they thought there wasn't enough evidence okay doesn't mean you didn't do it
00:08:00.060 it means the authorities don't think they can prove you did it i don't know whether he did it
00:08:05.460 or not i don't know what he did okay so all that happened in 2016 10 years ago and then last week
00:08:13.840 the bbc made a decision what more information what new or more information they got
00:08:20.460 or whether other news outlets other news organs told them we've got some some dirt and we're
00:08:29.720 going to go to print with it about old scott mills your star your star radio dude morning
00:08:35.140 breakfast show flagship dude i don't know any of that but the bbc obviously got some new information
00:08:42.420 and they decided they're just going to fire him straight away or more or less straight away he's
00:08:48.200 taking off the air tuesday or wednesday last week and then over the weekend the bbc told him
00:08:52.960 you're fired dude you're completely completely your contract's done you're not under investigation
00:08:57.520 or anything like that pending no you're done you're fired
00:09:00.540 there you go that's not usually how the bbc do things usually they
00:09:05.860 they do an investigation and keep someone on the books for like
00:09:08.900 weeks or months while they do an investigation i don't usually just
00:09:11.600 fire you outright it suggests that they've got some sort of terrible slam
00:09:16.460 dunk information a scoop but so far the chattering
00:09:21.060 classes and all people like you or i don't actually know
00:09:25.340 what he's supposed to have done what is this thing in 2016
00:09:28.540 just a historical relationship that's the thing that's come out they keep saying
00:09:33.620 it's to do with his personal conduct and a historical relationship
00:09:37.820 that's it that's all we know
00:09:40.880 and that he was sort of in trouble with the police in 2016 to some degree which didn't
00:09:48.040 end in a trial in any way that's it okay that's it that's all over the front pages
00:09:53.460 all right let's move on Scott Mills who cares really Trump threat to obliterate all Iranian
00:10:02.340 power plants yeah time's running out for the Iranians and their power plants the Donald's
00:10:08.680 set to blow them up basically they don't open the Straits of Hormuz and just basically accept
00:10:16.560 defeat which they're not going to do does it everything about the Iranian regime tells me
00:10:23.320 They're not going to do that
00:10:24.400 So
00:10:25.660 They're going to call the Donald's bluff
00:10:30.160 But you don't really call the Donald's bluff
00:10:34.240 You don't really call the Pentagon's bluff
00:10:35.940 They just do the thing they say they're going to do
00:10:38.620 Don't they
00:10:38.980 Alright
00:10:43.160 Small boat deal close to collapse
00:10:46.160 Over safety fears
00:10:47.440 Yeah
00:10:47.760 Worried about the safety of the migrant people
00:10:53.320 Not the safety of the natives of this island, and who the people are coming in, what kind of backgrounds they've got, their rate per capita of crime. Not our safety, the safety of the boat crossing migrant people themselves. They might drown in the channel.
00:11:09.440 yeah that's some sort of story this morning looks like uh the deal i think the deal
00:11:15.900 for what it's worth which is almost nothing comes to an end at like midnight tonight i read that
00:11:20.900 somewhere i think that's the case or midnight last night or midnight tomorrow night i don't
00:11:24.460 know soon very soon but what's it worth anyway the french police just simply aren't stopping
00:11:32.840 the boat are they so
00:11:34.280 alright the mirror
00:11:39.320 something about Patsy Kensett don't care
00:11:43.060 something about Stephen Lawrence don't care

00:12:56.580 I'll mention those
00:12:57.560 Okay
00:12:58.060 The Daily Star
00:13:00.500 Well we've got
00:13:01.020 Oh Scott Mills
00:13:01.860 J-Lo
00:13:02.860 Looking a bit rough
00:13:04.600 To be honest
00:13:05.040 And
00:13:06.240 And Scott Mills again
00:13:08.400 Oh Scott Mills
00:13:13.000 And the Daily Telegraph
00:13:14.040 Scott Mills
00:13:16.600 Starmer's 48 hour
00:13:19.240 Ultimatum to doctors
00:13:20.540 Junior medics
00:13:22.220 Told to call off
00:13:23.000 strike or 4,000 new jobs will be scrapped
00:13:27.900 big stuff and it
00:13:33.880 cliff edge stuff Beatrice and Eugenie those two princesses Andrews Andrew
00:13:43.600 Mountbatten's two daughters there they're probably not going to be invited
00:13:47.800 to the palace for Easter it's a miss Easter service well the service and the
00:13:53.440 and the palace after I'm gonna be invited to Easter estranged cousins
00:14:05.480 the cousins war Britain faces biggest hit from Middle East energy crisis
00:14:11.960 walls IMF we'll see we'll see we can refine crude into petrol gasoline petrol
00:14:21.260 ourselves diesel not so much we can get crude from anywhere else we can get
00:14:26.720 crude from the United States crude the United States makes more crude like West
00:14:30.860 Texas or whatever loads of makes more crude than it needs it's a net exporter
00:14:35.420 of crude the worst comes to the worst we'll just get all our crude from the
00:14:40.100 United States but then turning that crude into petrol and diesel we can do
00:14:48.260 petrol but not these I mean again we can do diesel but we don't we can't make
00:14:53.300 enough diesel for our own domestic use so not only do we obviously have to
00:14:59.420 import crude we actually have to import some of a quarter or a third or a fifth
00:15:05.700 of diesel already refined diesel
00:15:08.780 well that'll be expensive that'll be expensive relatively expensive if you've got a diesel car
00:15:18.680 then you know
00:15:24.220 probably worst hit worst hit the price of oil let's talk about oil briefly
00:15:30.580 price this morning or an hour or so ago an hour and a quarter ago something like that
00:15:35.700 west texas was about 100 102 and brent was at like 112 odd
00:15:42.480 so again expensive not really anywhere near all-time high and not insanely expensive
00:15:50.800 insanely expensive but high but high there's no doubt about that i'm you know i'm not
00:15:55.000 not saying it's not high and plus as this thing goes on the difference between the actual
00:16:03.280 raw price of a barrel of crude against what you actually pay at the pump will diverge as well
00:16:11.200 i.e the price of a barrel of crude might not be insanely higher but the price of your actual
00:16:19.580 petrol at a petrol station does still keep ticking up for all sorts of complicated reasons
00:16:24.760 okay france digs its feet in over migrant crossing yeah they don't help they won't help us
00:16:33.020 They're not interested in helping us
00:16:35.560 It's less foreign chancers and criminals in their country
00:16:39.780 And they're antagonists of ours
00:16:44.940 Always have been
00:16:48.000 It's obviously not like the 14th century, the Hundred Years' War
00:16:50.860 It's obviously not like the Napoleonic era
00:16:54.340 Where we're actually full-blown enemies
00:16:56.220 But they're not our friend
00:16:58.620 They don't think the French are our friend in any way
00:17:01.420 Like properly, diplomatically
00:17:02.700 On a national level
00:17:03.480 No, they're not
00:17:04.060 Rivals, really
00:17:10.740 Essentially rivals
00:17:12.000 In all sorts of senses
00:17:13.040 Still
00:17:14.380 To this day
00:17:15.320 The times
00:17:16.520 The venerable times
00:17:17.860 This old
00:17:20.700 This old Doris
00:17:22.780 Reckons sex is great
00:17:24.340 In your 80s
00:17:25.120 Do you love?
00:17:27.580 Not interested
00:17:28.660 Starmer gives reckless junior doctors 48 hours to call off strikes
00:17:34.640 Showdown of titans
00:17:38.100 The junior doctors and Sir Queer Starlin
00:17:41.560 A battle of wills for the ages
00:17:45.420 Okay
00:17:49.560 War brings in 20 million pounds a day extra in energy taxes
00:17:56.020 Windfall may be wiped out though
00:17:58.320 By borrowing costs
00:18:00.280 Britain's borrowing costs are insane
00:18:03.020 Just the amount of interest we pay
00:18:05.420 On our borrowing
00:18:06.600 Insane
00:18:09.840 Insane
00:18:11.540 Our economy
00:18:12.700 Could or may well
00:18:14.400 Collapse at some point
00:18:15.960 Loads of countries are like that
00:18:17.160 They just spend way more than their GDP
00:18:19.780 And then borrow more
00:18:24.080 To keep spending
00:18:25.440 borrow so much that the interest repayments on the borrowing is unsustainable
00:18:33.020 just keep cramming hundreds of thousands of more people on most of which or maybe not most but a
00:18:43.980 lot of which are a net drain on the economy what do you expect an nhs bill which is absolutely
00:18:51.860 Gigantic
00:18:54.120 Astronomical
00:18:55.360 Unsustainable
00:18:58.100 Unaffordable
00:18:58.660 And then
00:19:04.000 You put some leftist Karen
00:19:06.080 Who isn't an economist
00:19:07.380 In as the Chancellor
00:19:09.280 Who quite clearly doesn't know
00:19:12.280 What she's doing
00:19:13.280 About economics
00:19:15.380 Make the Chancellor Exchequer
00:19:18.860 Some non-economist woman
00:19:21.820 Who idolises socialists
00:19:27.760 Isn't that the most disastrous thing you could do?
00:19:35.100 Short of someone like John McDonnell or something
00:19:37.160 Slightly less worse than John McDonnell
00:19:40.480 So still terrible
00:19:41.400 This is a stupid
00:19:44.360 This is a stupid article from the Times
00:19:48.460 I got about half way through it
00:19:50.100 And then just sort of, just couldn't, I couldn't even.
00:19:55.100 World's unhappiest places are just so macho.
00:20:00.300 And it's a story about in places in the world where there's sort of more manliness or macho-ness.
00:20:08.240 Places where men are men.
00:20:11.740 Places like, what was it, they listed a few places like, what was it, Ghana, Iran.
00:20:20.100 Nigeria
00:20:21.040 Places like that
00:20:23.400 Where the male paradigm
00:20:26.080 Is very very strong
00:20:27.320 They're the most unhappiest places in the world
00:20:30.380 In other words
00:20:32.080 It's making the argument
00:20:32.680 Be a soy boy
00:20:33.540 Be a weakling soy boy
00:20:35.200 Cut
00:20:35.640 Be a weak-wristed nothing man
00:20:40.720 Right, the Times
00:20:43.260 Front page, there you go
00:20:45.380 Be a weakling
00:20:47.160 Morally and physically and ethically
00:20:49.380 what he's arguing for front page print front page the times all right the eye paper
00:20:58.900 should we read the quick blurb i'm not sure if it's worth it this morning should we read it
00:21:03.180 we'll quickly run through it pm meets uk fuel bosses as prices rise at the pumps
00:21:08.460 prime minister urges business leaders to help limit fallout from iran war during number 10
00:21:14.960 summit with bosses from energy shipping and banking public wants action on food prices
00:21:19.920 petrol and home energy says starmer in call for joint effort
00:21:23.940 okay so in the cabinet room that's the cabinet room in number 10 these are not other government
00:21:34.720 cabinet ministers they're sort of the titans of industry important people in business
00:21:39.620 He sat around going, let's all pull together guys
00:21:42.140 This needs to be a joint effort guys
00:21:44.200 Come on
00:21:44.980 Just looks super weird and weak
00:21:49.580 Why would you do that, it's like a performative thing
00:21:52.200 You could, should do that anyway
00:21:54.560 But like, to let the cameras in and do it on camera
00:21:58.120 It's just really, really performative to me, it seems
00:22:00.960 Okay, fuel prices in the UK climb
00:22:04.300 With petrol rising to £1.52 a litre
00:22:07.580 on average and diesel up to one pound 81 that is a lot in it for diesel still
00:22:13.180 i mean keep it in some perspective it's more than it was
00:22:18.700 uh i don't feel like it's completely insane like the price of crude still
00:22:24.600 as much as the corporate mainstream media want you to panic and think it's insanely high it's
00:22:30.840 not insanely high okay it goes on to say typical petrol car uh typical petrol car now costs
00:22:37.000 10 pound 55 more to fill than at the start of the war or 21 pound 35 for diesel so to fill
00:22:44.640 your petrol tank up 21 pound 35 more than it already was so that's a lot isn't it it's not
00:22:52.380 nothing, I don't feel like, I don't want to downplay it unnecessarily, but it's not absolutely
00:23:01.300 insane, and for petrol, £10.55 more than it was, you're right on the breadline, the
00:23:14.720 is if you own a car if you if you if you own a car then you've got enough money for insurance
00:23:24.980 road tax mot various other things enough to fill it up anyway so if you've got that sort of wealth
00:23:32.420 ie you're not in true true poverty even if you haven't got much money but you're not in true
00:23:38.580 poverty you can afford to buy and run a car another 10 pound on top of what it already was
00:23:46.260 to fill it up it's probably not going to bankrupt you is it and not that it's good i'm not trying
00:23:51.080 to say it's good or fine or anything i'm all i'm saying is keep it in some perspective
00:23:57.700 people that drive and are very close to the breadline probably extremely annoyed with that
00:24:02.820 take but i'm just saying right it's not 100 pound more all right all right it's not good though i'm
00:24:11.460 not saying it's good or it's fine or get over it it is bad it's not ideal just to be clear but
00:24:18.380 Brent at £112 a barrel
00:24:25.520 Expensive
00:24:28.900 Not crazy
00:24:31.060 PM and fuel execs discuss UK's contingency plan for lower suppliers of diesel and jet fuel
00:24:39.200 RAC instructs drivers to fill up as normal
00:24:42.580 make a deal soon on america and israel make a deal soon or america and israel will obliterate
00:24:50.820 iran power plants trump threatens quote new and more reasonable quote regime in tehran
00:24:57.400 so yeah he's like he'll threaten them and literally in like the next sentence or next breath
00:25:02.440 call them new and more reasonable so it's sort of a carrot and stick at exactly the same time
00:25:09.300 trying to be nice and trying to talk about making a deal in Pakistan or something but also if you
00:25:15.220 don't we'll destroy you okay that's uh that's Trump's type of diplomacy sometimes it works
00:25:24.600 doesn't it sometimes he does get exactly what he wants by being like that by doing that
00:25:29.060 he's at war diplomacy is done differently once you're actually at war isn't it
00:25:36.000 it is a different beast
00:25:39.600 once missiles and or bullets are flying
00:25:42.940 okay
00:25:43.840 Easter bank holiday, because it's Easter next weekend isn't it
00:25:46.540 set to be the busiest on UK roads in four years

00:25:54.180 The Daily Express, it's a good pain
00:25:58.060 Labour urged to help Britain's drivers now
00:26:00.900 and Scott Mills
00:26:06.000 Hey, is the Express Editor in the group? Someone message him, someone message him, we're going with Scott Mills
00:26:11.200 Financial Times, they didn't get the Scott Mills memo, it's probably on page 2 but
00:26:20.700 Okay, the Financial Times, conflict talks, Trump and Iran at odds
00:26:25.880 Breaking news, breaking news, something about AI, French AI
00:26:32.540 Head of Air Canada can't speak French
00:26:34.860 The Metro
00:26:36.680 Alright
00:26:43.920 Okay they go with something completely different
00:26:47.320 In that WhatsApp group
00:26:50.900 The Metro editor say no I'm going with the story
00:26:52.980 About the house that blew up once
00:26:54.360 Tenant blew up home after
00:26:58.640 80 pound rent rise, he died in it
00:27:00.640 He was in the house and he deliberately blew it up with himself in it
00:27:04.860 it was a while ago was it like a year or two ago but now the investigation or
00:27:09.340 something has finished something like that so yeah this guy here this guy the
00:27:15.920 land he rented a house and the landlord put the rent up by 80 quid and that sent
00:27:23.280 him over the edge and he was like well I'm not paying it and they're like if
00:27:26.240 you've got you bro there's like no I'll blow the whole house up if you make me
00:27:31.100 pay more rent, and they were like, uh, and then he just did it, with himself in there,
00:27:37.880 like a suicide, there was a nervous laugh there, it was a suicide, a bit out of order
00:27:46.460 really, on the neighbours, isn't it, talk about a nightmare neighbour, yeah, with his
00:27:56.920 the gas oven he had a gas oven and um yeah and he said to his friend he said to a friend
00:28:03.280 it's going to go up with a bang man tells friend before dying in rubble from huge blast
00:28:09.740 interesting isn't it i would have thought there was other things going on in his life
00:28:16.140 it wasn't like he was perfectly happy and well balanced
00:28:20.360 And then he gets a letter through
00:28:24.680 About his rent
00:28:25.520 And then he does that
00:28:28.020 It's probably right at the end of his tether anyway
00:28:31.680 You would have thought, wouldn't you?
00:28:37.040 Bowtie there
00:28:37.800 Don't wear bowties
00:28:41.720 Alright, that's the papers
00:28:44.440 That's the front page of the papers

00:29:07.360 Yes a lot
00:29:08.500 Yes a bit
00:29:10.240 No not really
00:29:11.740 And no not at all
00:29:12.880 And no not at all
00:29:15.520 Clearly wins with 70%
00:29:18.000 Yes a bit
00:29:20.980 Oh sorry
00:29:21.920 Yes a lot
00:29:22.680 Got 2%
00:29:24.140 2% of you really care about Scott Mills
00:29:26.740 Scott Mills' career
00:29:29.040 5% of you
00:29:34.620 Care a little bit about Scott Mills and his career
00:29:37.060 And whether or not he's at liberty
00:29:40.140 24% said
00:29:43.720 No not really
00:29:44.640 That's actually a decent chunk
00:29:46.400 24% mildly care
00:29:48.180 The vast majority of you there
00:29:50.920 No, not at all
00:29:53.040 Yeah
00:29:53.620 My people
00:29:55.520 The Glorious Band, The Chosen Few
00:29:58.380 You've got your head screwed on, right?
00:30:02.300 If you've tuned in live to Breakfast with Beau, the Beau show
00:30:05.020 Beau's Breakfast Club, hashtag The Real BBC
00:30:08.420 Then you know what you're doing
00:30:09.920 Don't you?
00:30:11.860 You're a good person
00:30:12.600 One of the very best among us
00:30:14.880 Scott Mills, come on
00:30:18.120 Scott Mills, who cares
00:30:20.800 I wonder if he did, in just pure speculation
00:30:23.240 I'm allowed to speculate
00:30:25.220 whether he did something monstrous back in 2016
00:30:29.620 with that teenager
00:30:31.080 Who knows, Scott and or the teenager themselves
00:30:35.920 have declined thus far to make a statement
00:30:39.520 So, what are you going to do?
00:30:44.880 you would have thought he would have made a statement by now saying I deny any and all
00:30:50.560 wrongdoing you know I didn't do nothing there's nothing to this no just silence
00:30:55.420 doesn't bode particularly well for Scott all right you and I don't care so let's just move
00:31:04.060 on shall we look there's the junior doctors look thinking that they're like some sort of great
00:31:11.460 Thinking they're something special
00:31:14.400 You're a kid training to be a doctor
00:31:17.520 Stop thinking you're like some sort of badass union
00:31:21.900 Kids these days, eh?
00:31:31.560 Labour overhaul non-crime hate incident rules
00:31:34.080 Will they really, though?
00:31:38.540 Quickly read a tiny bit of this
00:31:39.820 the government is to change when police forces in england and wales record non-crite non-crime
00:31:45.080 hate incidents in a bid to end the policing of quote everyday arguments quote new home office
00:31:50.080 guidance will say the forces should only log incidents that are potentially relevant to
00:31:54.300 policing yeah considering you're not considering you're not really solving any hardly any burglaries
00:32:05.060 very very few sexual assaults like hardly any car thefts and phone thefts but you are spending
00:32:11.920 any time whatsoever on in on things that aren't relevant to policing that's mad
00:32:17.660 isn't it it's mad it comes after a review by police chiefs found the system developed in
00:32:25.220 mid-2000s had increasingly seen officers joining to policing debates on social media yeah
00:32:30.580 Come knock at your door
00:32:32.700 Excuse me
00:32:33.680 We're not here to arrest you
00:32:35.160 Because it's a non-crime incident
00:32:36.940 Non-crime hate incident
00:32:37.980 But you said something spicy on Twitter
00:32:40.300 We've come round to just try and tone police you
00:32:44.100 For a few minutes
00:32:44.860 Meanwhile next door's been burgled
00:32:48.580 Crazy isn't it?
00:32:52.380 Crazy
00:32:52.820 However the Conservatives say
00:32:58.400 The move from Labour Ministers
00:32:59.500 Does not go far enough
00:33:00.460 calling it simply a rebrand well yeah so that's what i think it would be they're not actually
00:33:05.380 gonna force the police to stop doing this well before now in fact the government the home office
00:33:10.620 have asked the police to stop doing it and the police themselves said no we're just gonna keep
00:33:14.080 doing it all right uh what else do we have there was something on uh itv i thought was interesting
00:33:28.760 There's the junior doctors
00:33:30.220 £18.62 an hour
00:33:33.200 Is not a fair wage for doctors
00:33:35.360 Isn't it?
00:33:35.840 I mean it's not a great amount
00:33:36.920 But what?
00:33:37.660 What's your problem?
00:33:39.020 It's much more than minimum wage
00:33:40.040 What do you want?
00:33:42.480 Our economy is in the toilet
00:33:44.220 What do you want?
00:33:47.460 I'd rather just take money away from migrants
00:33:50.240 I bet this dude wouldn't like that
00:33:53.400 Look at the state of it
00:33:55.580 £18.62
00:33:58.740 To an hour is not enough
00:34:00.260 I mean
00:34:00.680 Because you're the only thing that matters
00:34:03.900 You're the only
00:34:06.300 The treasure is just
00:34:08.780 Overflowing with money
00:34:10.600 And they're just not giving you enough
00:34:12.680 Because they're just miserly
00:34:14.960 Is that what it is?
00:34:16.280 Or is it that our economy is completely stagnant?
00:34:20.280 We can barely afford to borrow any more money
00:34:22.960 But it's all about you, is it?
00:34:25.140 Meanwhile people that actually need your care
00:34:29.240 Will have to go without it for a while
00:34:32.180 Because you're so selfish
00:34:33.540 Yeah, yeah
00:34:35.340 If you're a policeman
00:34:37.560 A doctor, a nurse
00:34:39.260 Or in the fire brigade
00:34:41.340 Don't strike
00:34:42.160 Try and get your demands without striking
00:34:46.440 Because that is scummy
00:34:49.160 Because people just go without care
00:34:51.940 Brilliant
00:34:52.740 I thought that's what you wanted to do
00:34:55.100 Junior doctors
00:34:59.560 Give me a break
00:35:00.620 If they were being paid like under minimum wage
00:35:04.020 Or barely minimum wage
00:35:05.100 Or just a tiny bit more than minimum wage
00:35:06.860 Maybe
00:35:07.160 But like £18.62
00:35:08.560 Alright
00:35:12.240 Cargill Island
00:35:14.380 Keir Starmer
00:35:16.520 Scott Mills
00:35:17.900 Beatrice and Eugenie
00:35:20.060 It's all the same stuff isn't it
00:35:22.240 Got to do an inquiry into exactly how
00:35:24.400 ian huntley got murdered yeah all right there was something on sky news i thought was interesting
00:35:32.260 mildly mildly interesting i think i have to scroll down a fair bit for it um oh yeah here we go this
00:35:41.840 story classic classic stuff going back to sort of cold war stuff russia kicks out british diplomat
00:35:49.900 A diplomat, because Moscow accused them of spying.
00:35:56.660 The FBS, FBS, oh, FSB, FSB, the FSB, which is the KGB, really, the newer version of the KGB,
00:36:07.520 Russia's security service has accused the diplomat of attempting to gather information about the country's economy during meetings.
00:36:14.780 yeah so it always goes people that are quote unquote diplomats in the embassies around the
00:36:21.100 world are a lot of them not all of them of course but a lot of them are spies not necessarily like
00:36:28.300 a james bond spy that will go around with a silenced pistol shooting people or anything
00:36:32.820 like that trying to break into a foreign country's secure location not that type of spy
00:36:39.020 but i just go to trade delegations and i go to other embassies and i go to
00:36:44.660 higher meetings inside or if it's in russia in the kremlin for example or
00:36:49.120 the uh the russian equivalent of the foreign office whatever and just glean information
00:36:55.700 just glean any and all information they can at dinner parties and stuff like reasonably openly
00:37:01.960 like not not full-blown espionage skullduggery secret squirrel with a balaclava on and like
00:37:10.980 abseiling into rooms at night not that but still aspire though but still aspire
00:37:17.080 yeah that's what a lot of diplomats are
00:37:22.640 anyway i mean it's not even that uncommon that to this day if you now and again a story will come
00:37:31.680 up britain has uh expelled a russian diplomat or three russian diplomats and for a tit for tat
00:37:38.420 russia will expel three british ones it's not just britain and russia it's all all countries
00:37:42.560 we don't seem to ever do anything like that to china incidentally incidentally
00:37:48.860 never we we're never expelling chinese diplomats even though we know for a fact
00:37:55.120 Their intelligence services are all over us
00:38:00.840 All over us, infiltrate us in all sorts of ways
00:38:05.700 But we never do this tip for tat stuff, we're trying to never
00:38:07.640 Anyway, Russia, Russia's found a British one
00:38:10.000 Not really that mad, not really that uncommon
00:38:12.900 The FSB, Russia's security service
00:38:17.020 Claimed the British diplomat, quote
00:38:18.940 Provided false information about himself
00:38:21.240 Moscow also accused him of attempting to gather information
00:38:29.840 about the Russian economy during informal meetings
00:38:33.240 The FSB, the main successor for the Soviet era KGB
00:38:43.660 said it had detected an undeclared intelligence presence
00:38:47.700 okay you get it there's a great book i've mentioned it before a number of times i think it's a great
00:38:53.540 book some people think it's not so great but i think there's a great book called spire catcher
00:38:58.820 by an old mi5 guy peter wright great book people in mi5 try and discredit it and say it's all
00:39:08.820 nonsense he was crazy he's a crazy man really it's all a lot of it's lies and um exaggerations and
00:39:14.020 and it was all like a vanity project for himself.
00:39:17.860 A lot of other people say,
00:39:19.120 no, that's a really, really incredible book.
00:39:21.000 That's a really good piece of information,
00:39:23.040 a really good literary source of how MI5 and MI6 do stuff.
00:39:26.920 I think that.
00:39:29.260 Because at one point, MI5 were tasked with sort of investigating MI6
00:39:34.500 or investigating themselves, possible moles, Russian moles.
00:39:38.540 This is in like the 50s, 60s, 70s.
00:39:40.480 um and it's built out into mi6 uh it's a complicated really long complicated story
00:39:48.140 anyway that book is really interesting in in interesting in so far as specifically the russian
00:39:56.680 and british relationship how they spy on each other how they have spied on each other over
00:40:03.440 the decades obviously spy catcher is much more in the cold war still 60s and 70s mainly but
00:40:09.800 it all still goes on to a much lesser degree it's dialed down right it's dialed down from those
00:40:14.020 days but still pretty much the same sorts of things go on on a smaller scale slightly less
00:40:20.240 well quite in less intense scale but it's still the same games it's still the same sorts of games
00:40:26.600 that go on by catcher pretty right consider checking it out i think it might be on youtube
00:40:32.520 as an audiobook for free i think i'm not sure about that okay interesting to me interesting to
00:40:39.120 me if you have a look at the Daily Mail what's the Daily Mail got the Mail online Scott Mills
00:40:44.400 is that the picture of the quote-unquote teenager is it I don't know okay it sparks a crisis in
00:40:52.680 the BBC a crisis has been sparked okay there was a story here a fair few Trump things um
00:41:02.460 10 problems that may trap trump in a nightmare scenario in iran marco rubio's dual roles leaves
00:41:10.440 trump quote in informed quote on harrowing iran decisions former national security advisor
00:41:16.260 charges but trump approval rebounds as he scrambles for peace deal in iran
00:41:21.580 as i understand it there's a there's a whole bunch of people in america tds sufferers which
00:41:28.440 hate the war and try and paint it every possible opportunity as terrible and evil and stupid but a
00:41:35.000 lot of americans are up for it a lot of americans like it are behind the president and stuff like
00:41:40.120 no iran is like an export of terror and it is better for the region and the world and america
00:41:46.280 if they're sort of taken out one way or another or completely degraded loads of americans loads
00:41:53.880 think that and say that who's to say they're wrong who's to say they're wrong i'm not going to
00:41:59.560 all right trump's approval rebounds a little bit okay scott mills and his one million pound
00:42:08.680 home don't care all right the express here's a little story fury at bbc for call to end
00:42:15.900 dog friendly spaces the bbc this is obviously the express reporting on a bbc report that said
00:42:23.640 end dog friendly spaces no no see that's the BBC that's auntie for you really subversive not that
00:42:33.180 long ago not many years ago when I was younger when I was a child when I was a teenager in my
00:42:37.360 20s the BBC was sort of it came across as essentially friendly essentially on your side
00:42:43.300 it wasn't it's always been lefty it's always been extremely left since inception since the 1920s
00:42:49.280 it's always been left but even when i was a kid it would come across as friendly and nice and on
00:42:54.660 your side and essentially patriotic it wasn't but it was still wearing a wolf's coat the sheep's
00:43:02.860 clothing like a good fabian it was always a wolf but wearing its sheep clothing pretending it was
00:43:08.720 on your side it just doesn't it's it's shed that that sheep's clothing isn't it now they come out
00:43:14.960 with something about some foreigner trying to tell you dogs are bad. No, no. Englishmen
00:43:27.560 and Brits, we love our dogs. Centuries and centuries of tradition of being great fans
00:43:36.600 of dogs. So no, don't tell us we can't have dog-friendly spaces. Dogs aren't welcome.
00:43:43.120 You need to stop having dogs
00:43:44.760 That's a Muslim thing
00:43:46.340 We're not a Muslim country
00:43:47.960 Never been a Muslim country
00:43:50.880 So don't tell us there's something wrong with dogs
00:43:54.420 There isn't
00:43:55.620 If they've not been brutalised
00:43:58.080 Nearly all dogs are extremely lovable
00:44:02.320 And sweet and cute and good natured
00:44:06.920 Man's best friend
00:44:07.940 Trying to pour scorn on dogs
00:44:11.800 Domestic dogs
00:44:12.960 Psychos, you psychos
00:44:15.040 Alright, the sun, Scott Mills
00:44:17.500 The Mills crisis
00:44:19.240 Some poor 16 year old girl
00:44:21.180 Got stabbed in the back in the street
00:44:23.020 To death
00:44:23.660 Yep, that's Britain now
00:44:27.280 That's Britain now, that's multicultural Britain
00:44:28.860 Super
00:44:29.640 Thanks Lisa and Andy
00:44:32.640 Alright, the Trump and the US Marines
00:44:35.120 Frogmen
00:44:37.260 There'll be other special forces won't there
00:44:39.300 There'll probably be the SEALs
00:44:40.980 frogmen go in first
00:44:43.620 slightly interesting story
00:44:46.400 did a segment on this the other day
00:44:48.520 for my other channel I do with Nate
00:44:50.340 the state of politics
00:44:51.560 about how
00:44:54.960 Kash Patel got hacked by Iranians
00:44:57.140 Kash Patel, yeah
00:45:00.840 the director of the FBI
00:45:02.540 the head man at the FBI
00:45:04.500 is this Indian man
00:45:05.620 okay
00:45:09.300 and his personal emails not his work fbi email but his personal email like a gmail account
00:45:15.140 got hacked by iranians and they released loads of pictures there was nothing all that spicy or
00:45:20.080 embarrassing i mean in and of itself it's slightly embarrassing that the fbi didn't have that all
00:45:24.060 that locked down but nonetheless they hacked into it and released loads of pictures i don't know if
00:45:28.360 there'll be any here of just like him on holiday there's nothing truly embarrassing like him in
00:45:34.340 suspenders or anything but just like pictures of him and his bird on holiday so not really a big
00:45:42.860 deal ultimately other than it's just like shouldn't the fbi have encrypted or somehow
00:45:48.360 somehow made sure his personal gmail account was safe but they didn't they didn't so all right
00:45:58.440 that's a story of mild interest this guy this black dude from Croydon was about to be reminded
00:46:05.920 in custody for being a drug dealer and he just fled the court he's still at large
00:46:11.280 put that on the website that's big news
00:46:17.000 talking about one of John Gotti's henchmen John Gotti
00:46:22.320 Yeah, a mobster
00:46:27.880 One of the last big New York mobsters, really
00:46:31.220 John Gotti there
00:46:33.260 The story about one of his henchmen
00:46:34.860 Alright
00:46:38.320 This prostitute tried to blackmail one of her Johns
00:46:44.920 Knocked on his door, saying, give me loads more money or I'll out you
00:46:48.600 Big news, isn't it?
00:46:51.320 That's really big news
00:46:52.780 Alright
00:46:54.940 Alright, let's have a quick look
00:46:58.120 Oh, it's already 10-2
00:46:59.360 Oh, that's nearly the show
00:47:00.540 One thing I want to hear on the New York Slimes
00:47:03.400 Israel passes law to hang Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks
00:47:08.980 So the death penalty
00:47:10.040 Yeah, I'm pro-death penalty
00:47:13.120 Yeah, if it's a slam dunk case
00:47:15.000 Like DNA can show beyond any reasonable doubt
00:47:17.660 That you're guilty of a very, very, very heinous crime
00:47:20.760 like murdering loads of little girls or something
00:47:24.960 and it's 100% the case that it was you
00:47:28.840 so we're not executing the wrong person
00:47:30.720 100%
00:47:32.000 then yeah
00:47:32.980 I'm not interested in the bleeding heart liberal argument
00:47:39.720 that oh no you could never do it
00:47:41.280 no
00:47:41.560 you forfeited your right to live
00:47:43.520 alright shall we have a look at this day in history
00:47:49.080 what's going what happened throughout down through the centuries what happened of note on this day
00:47:54.600 march 31st all right in the year 1146 ad bernard of clairvaux preaches his famous sermon in a field
00:48:03.960 at vaselay urging the necessity of a second crusade louis the seventh and eleanor of aquitaine
00:48:09.880 are present and join the crusade so on uh sorry
00:48:20.080 On Epochs, behind the paywall,
00:48:22.560 lowseaters.com, consider joining for as little as £5 a month
00:48:25.360 Bronze Team Membership, I've got long-form content about the Second Crusade
00:48:29.520 and specifically one about Eleanor of Aquitaine.
00:48:32.280 I've only done like a biography one about a woman a couple of times.
00:48:36.200 I've done
00:48:37.620 The Maid of Orléans
00:48:41.980 and Eleanor of Aquitaine
00:48:46.040 And
00:48:48.260 A fascinating story
00:48:51.200 Yeah Bernard of Clairvaux
00:48:52.620 Was just a preacher
00:48:54.760 A priest
00:48:55.400 But an extremely influential one
00:48:58.540 You know sometimes in society
00:49:00.700 You have like a thought leader
00:49:02.380 Like they're not the Pope
00:49:04.400 They're not the King
00:49:05.180 They're not the Emperor
00:49:06.040 But for whatever reason
00:49:07.940 Everyone listens to them
00:49:09.900 You know
00:49:12.140 Don't have it so much anymore
00:49:15.320 That sort of thing
00:49:16.260 Do we
00:49:16.520 Because
00:49:16.900 Maybe because of the internet
00:49:18.740 And the information age
00:49:19.740 There's so many sources of information
00:49:21.360 You don't get many sort of
00:49:24.000 Real real
00:49:24.600 Well I suppose you do still
00:49:25.440 Don't you
00:49:25.680 You get some influencers
00:49:27.520 Right
00:49:29.520 Bernard of Clairvaux
00:49:30.460 Was a 12th century influencer
00:49:31.900 And what he said
00:49:33.420 Loads and loads of people listened to
00:49:34.820 Including like the dukes
00:49:35.760 And stuff
00:49:36.220 Bernard of Clairvaux says
00:49:37.920 We need a second crusade
00:49:39.600 To
00:49:40.000 To retake the church
00:49:42.940 Of the Holy Sepulcher
00:49:43.720 In Jerusalem
00:49:44.340 Back off the infidel
00:49:45.840 And he gave a very very famous
00:49:48.980 Speech calling for that
00:49:50.780 In a field in France
00:49:53.200 And the king
00:49:54.740 Louis VII is the king of France
00:49:56.420 And his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine
00:49:57.920 Joined in
00:50:00.680 So the second crusade
00:50:02.260 The biggest crusade I think
00:50:04.200 I'm pretty sure it is
00:50:05.060 The first crusade actually
00:50:06.960 Did it and got there
00:50:09.540 And retook Jerusalem
00:50:10.800 Second crusade didn't
00:50:13.380 But they did take loads more lands in the Levant
00:50:17.280 And create many more Crusader kingdoms
00:50:19.820 So it's a really big thing
00:50:22.240 I've got long form content all about the life and career of Eleanor of Aquitaine
00:50:26.800 Fascinating stuff, big thing in European history really
00:50:31.100 The First and Second and Third Crusade
00:50:33.560 I've got content on all of it, check it out
00:50:35.840 Alright, on this day in 1492
00:50:38.680 Queen Isabella I of Castile
00:50:40.800 And King Ferdinand II of Aragon
00:50:42.820 The Catholic monarchs of Spain
00:50:44.980 Issue the Alhambra decree
00:50:48.340 Expelling Jews from their kingdom
00:50:50.660 What had the Jews done
00:50:54.480 To deserve that
00:50:55.880 What had they done
00:50:56.860 Hey enough with the anti-Semitism
00:51:00.300 Even asking what might the Jews have done
00:51:05.080 For that to happen
00:51:07.200 Why did Ferdinand and Isabel feel the need to do that
00:51:10.280 Don't worry about it
00:51:11.940 Don't worry about that
00:51:14.240 It's just general purpose anti-Semitism
00:51:16.720 Okay, on this day in 1657
00:51:20.780 English Parliament presents the humble petition and advice
00:51:24.080 To the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell
00:51:25.920 Offering him the crown, but he declines
00:51:27.620 Yes, an interesting bit of history
00:51:29.200 After King Charles I, Charles Stewart had his head lopped off
00:51:35.140 A lot of people, the Puritans, the parliamentarians
00:51:40.860 we're like well what do we do now we do still need like a head of state don't we
00:51:44.860 we do still need a single personage to be at the top of things a king don't we still just need a
00:51:53.320 king though the way nearly all our bills and and legislation and uh the constitution as was
00:52:02.440 you know the or everything parliament does it's all it's all fixed in such a way that you sort
00:52:09.400 need a king still so a big chunk of them went to Oliver Cromwell and said will you be the king we
00:52:18.540 still need like the crown in parliament sort of thing and he scoffed and laughed at that he said
00:52:24.000 no you've you seem to have profoundly misunderstood what this whole these two civil wars we've had
00:52:30.740 you seem to profoundly misunderstood what all of that was about if you're asking me to be a king
00:52:36.180 Of course I'm not going to be king
00:52:37.560 King Oliver I
00:52:39.400 No, get real
00:52:41.080 Anyway
00:52:43.000 He took a different title, didn't he?
00:52:45.600 Lord Protector
00:52:46.420 He's happy enough with Lord Protector
00:52:49.160 It's a king in all but name
00:52:51.160 A king in all but name
00:52:52.900 But okay, he actually formally declines
00:52:56.100 To be king
00:52:57.340 King Oliver I
00:52:58.660 Interesting bit of history
00:53:02.780 the Eiffel Tower opens on this day in 1889
00:53:06.420 Eiffel Tower officially opens
00:53:08.600 for dignitaries
00:53:10.100 and an award ceremony in Paris, France
00:53:12.420 designed by Gustave Eiffel
00:53:14.220 and built for the Exposition Universelle
00:53:17.720 at 300 metres higher
00:53:19.680 it holds the record for the tallest man-made structure
00:53:21.960 for 41 years
00:53:23.120 there you go, the Eiffel Tower
00:53:25.520 there's some very interesting photographs
00:53:27.200 of it, sort of mid-construction
00:53:29.300 it's only this high and stuff
00:53:32.460 It's kind of cool, I've been there a couple of times
00:53:35.920 I've been up to the top
00:53:36.860 It takes a while to get up to
00:53:38.760 If it's a nice summer's day and there's loads of tourists
00:53:41.080 It takes ages, it'll take all afternoon
00:53:43.140 You have to queue up for ages
00:53:44.860 And then you get an elevator up to that bit
00:53:47.820 Then you queue up again to get an elevator up to that bit
00:53:50.640 And queue up again to get an elevator to the top
00:53:53.040 And it's packed the whole time
00:53:54.520 Go on a day that's like off-season and overcast
00:54:00.040 And you might just go straight up
00:54:02.460 It took me all afternoon to get to the top, honestly like three hours, four hours, something like that, good view from the top, probably not worth it, just go to that bit, that's good enough, anyway, alright, okay, the Eiffel Tower, on this day in 1920, British Parliament accepts the Government of Ireland Act, known as the Fourth Home Rule Bill, yeah we talked about that a few days ago, didn't we, it came up on this website,
00:54:30.560 But finally it goes through
00:54:32.840 That's basically making Northern Ireland
00:54:34.740 Partitioning Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
00:54:37.080 And letting them rule themselves
00:54:40.500 1920
00:54:42.400 I said then
00:54:45.960 I said before it should have been 100 years before or more
00:54:48.620 It should have been long before 1920
00:54:51.580 It's crazy that that is
00:54:53.000 Okay, to me anyway
00:54:54.540 It's crazy how late that is
00:54:55.880 1920
00:54:56.620 If it was 1820 it was overdue
00:55:00.520 in my opinion
00:55:02.000 whatever
00:55:04.600 alright
00:55:05.120 it's
00:55:06.000 05-2
00:55:06.920 let's do the
00:55:07.820 Super Chats and
00:55:08.320 Rumble Rants
00:55:08.860 because I need to
00:55:09.640 try and finish
00:55:10.060 close to 9 this
00:55:10.900 morning if possible
00:55:11.620 I've got a busy
00:55:12.300 day recording
00:55:13.240 the books
00:55:13.880 talking more about
00:55:15.520 the Wars of the
00:55:16.020 Roses
00:55:16.260 alright let's have
00:55:17.360 a look at the
00:55:17.900 Rumble Rants
00:55:18.580 we've got
00:55:19.000 Fortean Barber
00:55:19.760 says
00:55:20.100 all
00:55:21.880 cheers Fortean Barber
00:55:22.960 says
00:55:23.680 all the Scott
00:55:24.740 Mills stuff
00:55:25.680 has made me
00:55:26.280 wonder if Carl
00:55:27.100 has thought about
00:55:27.800 setting up a
00:55:28.480 radio station
00:55:29.240 The BBC really must be shut down
00:55:31.460 Or made to stand on its own at least
00:55:33.520 Carl setting up an actual radio station
00:55:38.400 I mean
00:55:40.540 I don't know
00:55:42.200 Of course not
00:55:43.420 But I feel like there's no point
00:55:44.980 You might as well just
00:55:45.640 Like radio's old hat
00:55:46.780 Isn't it?
00:55:47.960 Isn't radio just like
00:55:49.240 Pretty 20th century stuff
00:55:51.080 Most people on the internet now
00:55:54.220 You might as well just do this
00:55:55.580 Something like this
00:55:59.240 I think wouldn't you have to, if you actually want to completely transmit radio for yourself,
00:56:07.160 don't you need to spend millions and millions of pounds on infrastructure
00:56:09.520 and jump through loads and loads of hoops before you're allowed to do it.
00:56:14.280 It's just not worth it. Surely not worth it.
00:56:18.120 Interesting, though. I imagine if we did.
00:56:20.300 Okay.
00:56:22.220 Tomrat247 says,
00:56:23.680 i know exactly what happened in 2016 with scott mills to make auntie fire him he wore a maga hat
00:56:31.820 and went everywhere demanding they make america great again all right did he was he a mega dude
00:56:36.580 surprised they surprised they let him work at all since then then because i believe he was picked to
00:56:43.540 do that radio slot only in like 2024 or something okay and the other one the other rumble rant from
00:56:50.740 tom rat again says not a doctor but thousands of doctors are denied spaces out of uni given to
00:56:58.700 foreign locums i don't mean by locums but given to foreigners most simply moved to australia for
00:57:05.420 better pay and training right yeah our dei has gone out of control yeah i'd rather give the spot
00:57:11.260 to some some young syrian person who wants to be a doctor rather than our own yeah i've heard all
00:57:18.840 about that yeah a lot of them go to australia stuff like that where they won't be completely
00:57:24.880 marginalized for the color of their skin and the country their nationality of origin

00:58:11.780 history still at number one you say today in 1146 saint bernard preaches the second crusade
00:58:17.780 and that came in at like even before 8am saint bernard of clervo who was we was talking about
00:58:26.580 global church history knows their stuff but saint bernard of clervo saint bernard yeah
00:58:34.300 preaches the second crusade changed history the second crusade put history on a different
00:58:41.200 timeline if Bernard of Clairvaux hadn't called it that day in 1146 history would have been
00:58:49.940 different well there would have been eventually a second crusade anyway but it would have been
00:58:53.540 different the second crusade was a movement en masse en masse not just like a load of knights
00:59:03.300 like the third crusade but a giant movement of ordinary people and peasants taking the cross
00:59:09.960 and going out to the holy land a giant thing all right chris 281 says surely at this point it's
00:59:19.100 only shocking news when it turns out that someone at the bbc is not a wrongan yeah it's easier to
00:59:26.180 count the ones that aren't wrongans yeah yeah good point the cayman live says it's crazy how
00:59:34.320 they all care about drivers when the evil fuel companies put up the price but they're happy to
00:59:41.340 keep rolling out ulez and other taxes right yeah yeah i think you put it they don't care i don't
00:59:46.940 care i might pretend they will for a little bit about drivers or whatever pretend they will for
00:59:52.980 briefly for for you know but i don't of course they don't they see the people these leftists
00:59:58.520 They see the people as just a cash cow
01:00:02.160 That's all it is
01:00:05.320 You're quite right
