Summary

Lord Manderson has been accused of leaking confidential government files to the media and the police, but is it really that bad? Or is it all a bit of a black and white issue, with a grey area at the end?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 morning
00:00:08.000 you alright
00:00:12.400 and how are you doing on me on this beautiful morning bright eyed and bushy-tailed i hope
00:00:21.860 fighting for it and raring to go for the day ahead it is tuesday the 3rd of january in the
00:00:27.580 year of our law 2026 it has just turned 8 a.m in greenwich meantime i'm joined by my producer
00:00:33.000 little harry how are you this morning sir morning yeah i'm good good great we've got a poll up there
00:00:38.180 so have a look at that if you're in the chat get involved otherwise thank you for joining me you
00:00:43.380 are the glorious band the chosen few decided to watch breakfast with beau formerly breakfast with
00:00:55.020 beau colloquially the beau show aka beau's breakfast club
00:01:01.780 the bbc all right let's should we have a look at what the world is talking about the world world
00:01:09.520 world what the corporate legacy mainstream media have decided is interesting for you
00:01:15.100 today should we just dive straight in let's have a look okay so yesterday was walton wall epstein
00:01:20.620 it's similar ish today at least in the british press they've decided to switch focus slightly
00:01:27.420 bit more straight onto manderson himself um so once again as i said yesterday not interested in like
00:01:35.700 the actual crux of the matter you know who epstein really was what he was really doing his handlers
00:01:42.580 and all that not a dicky bird about that but manderson old mandy sorry the right honorable the lord
00:01:53.660 manderson first baron manderson uh it's all about him because he's in a spot of bother i think
00:02:00.300 the police might even be getting involved in fact they are investigating one report said
00:02:06.100 that the police are looking at it so let's get into it the bbc say that the overall headlines are
00:02:13.080 manderson reported to police and bots moan about humans don't worry about it it's not skynet going
00:02:19.820 live don't worry about it not yet there was only one headline where i saw that at all anyway so
00:02:26.340 all right the eye paper the eye paper says lord manderson reported to police for leaking number 10
00:02:32.900 files to epstein so it isn't just a little bit embarrassing that manderson was friends with
00:02:40.240 epstein that there's a picture of him in his pants it's more than a bit embarrassing or even
00:02:47.120 that he was given money like certainly given money because they've got the receipts quite literally
00:02:53.840 sort of the receipts they've got they've got uh the evidence from from epstein's accounts
00:03:01.020 showing that he sent it was either manson or manson's husband ronaldo uh tens and tens of thousands of
00:03:07.660 pounds manson says i i don't recall that that's no defense that doesn't mean anything and i'm not sure
00:03:15.560 that that's real i don't recall that i'll have to look into my own uh find that my history my historical
00:03:22.020 finances to see if that's actually true you're talking about you're just deflecting for like a
00:03:27.580 day of course it is true it is almost certainly true so okay but he's just still doing that thing
00:03:32.880 going i don't know but it's beyond that so it's worse than that what it is now and i think we touched
00:03:41.440 on it yesterday but more has emerged uh where he's actually as that headline says
00:03:46.460 he leaked file number 10 files to epstein so that's properly bad it's not just embarrassing
00:03:53.480 it's not just it may or may not be a bit bad it may it's like a gray area is it really all that bad
00:04:00.120 we'll have to find out exactly what's going on to to understand if that's actually really bad or not
00:04:05.000 no that's just black and white bad can't do that because it was sensitive information
00:04:10.820 right there's one thing people leak all the time don't they all the time there's one thing to come
00:04:17.100 out of uh what say you work in number 10 say you're like a really junior person in number 10 like you
00:04:24.200 make the tea or something you come out and you leak to the press that uh the prime minister was wearing
00:04:30.740 a stripy tire today something like that no big deal but if it's actually sensitive information market
00:04:38.200 sensitive information right so you so you could make money off the back of the information one
00:04:44.360 way or another or very very politically sensitive information then sort of raising to rising to the
00:04:52.180 level of a crime it seems that's what mandy did
00:04:57.780 and the pain is calling oh mandy he's in a bit of trouble i'm here for it i hate mandy god such a
00:05:10.900 slimy douchebag always has been always always always has been all right let's say some of the detail
00:05:20.860 then met is reviewed the ipaper says the met reviewing is uh reviewing allegations of misconduct
00:05:27.020 in public office that's like the official charge if he was charged with something it would be it would
00:05:32.480 be that misconduct in public office after emails suggest that while manderson was uk business secretary
00:05:39.400 he leaked confidential government files to jeffrey epstein so yeah this is in like the last days
00:05:44.740 the last year of the brown government gordon brown texture like sun was prime minister up until 2010
00:05:52.440 wasn't it cameron got in in 2010 so this dates i think from like 2009 and if you remember there
00:05:58.280 was that credit crunch thing in 2007 2008 and it was all still going on in 2009 everyone thought the
00:06:04.180 world's economy was going to completely implode and there's loads and loads of bailouts if you remember
00:06:09.620 i mean harry you're so young do you even remember that how old were you in like 2008
00:06:14.040 2009 uh i would have been like four no is that right can that be right
00:06:21.620 feel old yet i do really okay well i suppose so yeah okay so you don't remember the credit
00:06:29.680 crunch in any detail okay fair enough okay god that makes me feel old
00:06:34.220 all right okay okay uh so if if anyone's a zoomer out there who's as young as harry or whatever or
00:06:49.740 even a bit older really um in 2007 2008 into 2009 there was this giant credit crunch
00:06:55.620 anyone old enough will be like yeah i remember it was yesterday
00:06:58.880 when you get old like 10 years isn't that long um or more anyway anyways anyways there's a big
00:07:06.220 credit crunch and um big governments particularly all over the west the giant bailouts of like
00:07:12.820 usually their banks but sometimes even like the the currencies and things currency reserves all sorts
00:07:17.840 of things and all that was going on it was like a people were genuinely worried but harry people were
00:07:23.740 genuinely worried that the entire world's economy would collapse and all your money in your bank
00:07:29.620 would be worth it wouldn't just wouldn't be there anymore you couldn't go to a cash machine and get
00:07:33.460 money out the whole thing would collapse like a house of cards people were actually worried about
00:07:37.080 that can you believe that yeah that was kind of mental yeah yeah yeah um well in the depths of all of
00:07:45.480 that epstein's i mean sorry mandelson's loyalty seemed to be to epstein above that of the crown
00:07:52.440 can i phrase it like that i just did so i'm gonna yeah there was gonna be a big bailout to the tune of
00:08:01.940 like 500 billion euros britain was gonna do and of course the second the government the chancellor
00:08:10.180 of the exchequer alistair the late alistair darling as was the second that sort of announced that will
00:08:15.620 move all sorts of markets that will make the whole world's economy shift a little bit and do things here
00:08:21.180 and there and people right if you knew that ahead of time if you had that information ahead of time
00:08:26.840 and you were savvy enough you could definitely make loads of money sort of like insider trading
00:08:32.660 well mandy just told epstein mandy's in cabinet right so he's at the top of government can't get
00:08:40.020 any more senior than that being in cabinet so he knew he was he was privy to everything the government
00:08:46.540 was going to do essentially he was close ish to alistair darling being the business secretary
00:08:51.540 they would have worked very very closely together mandy had the inside scoop totally 100 he goes
00:08:58.480 and tells epstein this stuff
00:09:00.180 so that's really really bad i mean it is sort of well it kind of is if that happened
00:09:08.980 it's alleged still at this point because the investigation is yet to happen so it's an
00:09:13.780 allegation but if if it did indeed happen almost certainly did um that that is misconduct in
00:09:20.720 public office isn't it i would go so far as to call it sort of like espionage or something
00:09:25.820 working on behalf of a foreign body a foreign agent
00:09:29.340 yeah his loyalties was to his loyalty first loyalty was to epstein not to like the not to his own
00:09:37.600 government not to cabinet not to the crown
00:09:43.540 the paper goes on
00:09:44.540 he told the convicted paedophile that gordon brown was going to resign as pm five hours before it happened
00:09:50.540 and gave epstein advance notice of 500 billion euro eurozone bailout during financial crisis
00:09:58.540 yeah he also he obviously knew again being on the inside being very very very inner sanctum of power
00:10:04.880 knew that gordon brown was going to resign um this is after the election because if you remember
00:10:12.780 if anyone remembers back in 2010 it wasn't a clear-cut win for the tories
00:10:17.040 you know um david cameron had to enter into a coalition with the lib dems crazily
00:10:24.400 um and so there's a while there a few days where or a day or so for a while it was like gordon brown
00:10:32.080 needs to resign but he hadn't resigned yet he sort of needs to but he hasn't yet and so everyone's
00:10:37.020 sort of essentially waiting i mean maybe he could have formed some sort of coalition there was talk
00:10:41.300 of that maybe the lib dems were entering this coalition with labor i don't think they quite had
00:10:44.320 the numbers i can't remember it in detail but anyway there's a day or two where we just waited for
00:10:48.180 gordon brown to resign or if something else something something extraordinary might happen
00:10:54.400 anyway mandy gets the inside scoop it's straight on the old emails to jeff about it it's out of
00:11:04.100 order it's out of order dirty documents included government tax plans and advice on how bank could
00:11:13.180 threaten treasury yeah jp morgan yeah again he said to epstein get your buddy jamie diamond the head of
00:11:20.180 jp morgan at the time to quote mildly threaten alistair darling the chancellor of the exchequer over
00:11:27.140 proposed um taxes on bankers bonuses and things like that again it's really scummy behavior isn't it
00:11:37.740 you're the business secretary and you're working really closely with the chancellor and you say to
00:11:43.000 uh some new york financier guy well there is obviously more than that
00:11:52.040 you tell that you're advising him how to undermine your own government that you're in
00:12:00.120 your own colleague your own friend supposedly in cabinet and of course at the expense of the
00:12:07.640 interests of the nation of course
00:12:13.000 and nothing is rhyming oh mandy he's getting his comeuppance though he's gonna get his comeuppance
00:12:23.060 manderson still can't say for certain that he did or did not accept $75,000 in payments from epstein well
00:12:30.640 the receipts are there so
00:12:33.860 i hope uh
00:12:39.700 i mean he's gonna be disgraced for all time really there's no way back into sort of political life after this
00:12:44.780 remotely really
00:12:46.200 but i hope he gets in really bad trouble i mean i'm not
00:12:49.240 usually a particularly vindictive person i mean i'm a bit
00:12:52.640 justice though justice wanting justice is that being vindictive some sort of think it is isn't it
00:12:59.780 they should always forgive people no no i don't want to always forgive no deserves to be punished for this stuff
00:13:05.700 deserves to be punished it's bad really bad
00:13:09.060 it's not just a little bit slimy it's not just like trying to fiddle your taxes a little bit or something like that
00:13:16.700 is it
00:13:18.700 it's probably it's probably bad i think i think so anyway
00:13:22.120 should be stripped of his peerage we'll get on to that
00:13:25.200 okay
00:13:26.000 the daily telegraph says manderson link number 10 emails to epstein yeah
00:13:30.080 met police examining they are now examining misconduct claims
00:13:33.380 as starmer calls for former ally to lose peerage yes so gordon brown himself obviously still alive
00:13:38.420 still is he still an mp even
00:13:40.620 anyway
00:13:41.520 he's come out and he said um
00:13:43.800 yeah he's come out and he wrote a letter to the current cabinet secretary
00:13:47.400 saying i want you the current cabinet secretary to investigate everything that happened in that period
00:13:54.120 like because obviously gordon brown apparently he's livid he's furious
00:14:01.560 and he's got every right to be he's got every single right to be this is like proper backstabby stuff
00:14:06.840 real real full-blown being backstabbed manderson's loyalty was supposed to be to him
00:14:12.120 not epstein
00:14:14.520 it's pretty straightforward isn't it
00:14:18.440 so brown
00:14:20.120 gordon brown texture like sun
00:14:22.580 is extremely annoyed and he's asked the cabinet secretary
00:14:25.920 to
00:14:26.820 uh
00:14:27.720 look into it all and
00:14:29.940 lots of different people have called for
00:14:31.700 the lord manderson first baron manderson to have his peerage stripped from him
00:14:36.180 i think niger said that and the smp have said that and various other people said that and
00:14:41.220 even starmer came out and said it there you go so it says starmer calls for former ally to lose
00:14:46.180 peerage well
00:14:46.740 if starmer really wants that to happen he's the one that's got to make it happen
00:14:50.900 right
00:14:53.460 manson could result the way it would work is that manson could either voluntarily
00:14:59.140 renounce it very unlikely who knows but very unlikely if he does finally get convicted
00:15:06.420 for crimes and sentenced to more than 12 months
00:15:10.340 i think then you're kind of automatically stripped of it
00:15:14.020 but anything short of that
00:15:16.420 i believe this is the case anyone in the comments uh correct me if i've got any of these details wrong
00:15:21.820 but short of those things there would need to be an actual act of parliament
00:15:26.000 now it's not that that's unheard of it can be done has been done even in recent times
00:15:30.460 but it's a bit of a faff and it takes a bit of a little bit of political will and time to do
00:15:35.940 a starmer would actually have to put cogs in motion and get it done spend a bit of time and
00:15:42.020 energy to get that through not all that much because there would be you would imagine hardly
00:15:46.500 any pushback from it in parliament there's not going to be hundreds of opposition mps voting against
00:15:51.220 that you would have thought but nonetheless starmer calling for him to lose peerage what's on you
00:15:57.300 secure if you really think that get it done do it then
00:16:06.260 but what an embarrassment for keir starmer i mean it was even when he lost his job it was back in
00:16:09.940 september in september last year manson was still the the um ambassador to the us at that point
00:16:18.500 and um some things came out about epstein at that point one of the very very first nothing burger
00:16:23.940 releases and up until the day before literally literally the day before there was too much too much
00:16:32.100 pressure on mandy and starmer was forced to fire him remove him from the foreign office
00:16:39.380 up until the day before starmer goes into parliament it's not just briefing some journalist
00:16:45.220 he's actually in the house of commons saying the lord manson has my complete and utter respect
00:16:51.620 my complete backing da da da da on and on and on it shows one of two things doesn't it it shows
00:16:59.380 either starmer is completely in on the whole thing part of the the whole same structure or
00:17:08.900 a complete dummy like an absolute dummy like a childlike moron and when you think about it it can't
00:17:17.860 actually be that though i mean i think he's a bit of a moron but not that much right he's not he's not
00:17:24.180 actually like a childlike mind walking through the world wide-eyed not knowing what's going on
00:17:28.900 not really understanding words properly he's not that dumb right so i mean he was advised before he
00:17:35.380 picked manderson not to pick manderson for various reasons potential scandals other scandals a couple of
00:17:43.140 other scandals earlier on in man completely disconnected from epstein early on in manderson's
00:17:47.780 career all sorts of reasons why you wouldn't want manderson in that job and ignored ignored so he did
00:17:55.940 know so he did know he was aware it's not like suddenly one day one of starmer's aides comes to
00:18:03.140 him and goes unfortunately sir oh this scandal has dropped completely out of clear blue sky about the
00:18:08.900 lord manderson no one knew we didn't know anything about it and now we and now it's this no no no
00:18:15.220 no that's not what happened that's not how it went no no no no so it begs the question doesn't it why
00:18:20.900 did starmer do that why is he was he being like that okay let's move on um the times the venerable times
00:18:36.820 police look into epstein leaks from manderson shocked gordon brown demands number 10 inquiry
00:18:44.340 so yeah this was new the actual details of of where he's telling apparently telling allegedly telling
00:18:50.500 epstein all about the 500 billion euro bailout and and um snitching on gordon brown a few hours before he
00:18:59.300 resigns and all that sort of thing that is new i'd never heard that before apparently gordon brown
00:19:06.580 himself had never heard that before because he's shocked and i can believe i can believe it is a bit
00:19:12.420 shocking a little bit it's not the biggest thing in the world is it but is it's so much more than
00:19:18.340 disappointing if you were gordon brown or if you was any one of manderson's cabinet uh colleagues
00:19:24.660 you'd be like oh this snake in the grass really it's sort of like a mole it's not sort of like he
00:19:32.820 is he's like a foreign agent a foreign body in your midst right you're supposed to have complete like
00:19:41.460 cabinet collective responsibility and um you know you keep your mouth shut it's what what happens in
00:19:47.780 cabinet stays in cabinet that's sort of a fundamental thing about it all
00:19:52.180 how can you have any trust i mean what a duplicitous it doesn't really cut it they're much stronger
00:19:59.060 words aren't they treasonous even traitorous again it seems like his first priority was to
00:20:06.580 epstein some american dude some american pervert
00:20:12.980 although as i say it's much much more than that isn't it some sort of international fixer
00:20:16.500 some sort of intelligence services signed off international fixer type
00:20:20.900 off the books dude that gave mandy money lots of money relatively
00:20:28.420 so mandy's loyalty was to him above any above anything else above britain
00:20:36.260 there he is trying to look cool
00:20:38.500 an old photo obviously it's trying to look cool um i was too trusting don't buy that manderson's
00:20:46.260 saying i about epstein i was too trusting don't buy that loads of them use that alan dershowitz says
00:20:50.980 that i just didn't know i was too trusting he seemed like a really interesting guy to me and i i didn't
00:20:55.300 know anything about about anything to do with sex or anything really um underhanded and i was i just
00:21:02.260 trusted him my problem is i'm too good of a guy that's my problem i'm too trusting that's the dershowitz
00:21:09.700 manderson defense i was too trusting i'm just too much of a of a was too much of a lamb in the headlights
00:21:18.100 that was my problem no no no no no no give me a break one of the most savvy people you could meet
00:21:28.100 peter manderson he's known as the dark lord of labor he's like you know he's a spin doctor right
00:21:33.780 he's a type of type of spin doctor you could say yesterday i think didn't know i likened him to
00:21:39.700 michael gove a labor version of michael gove something like that very very very sharp i can't
00:21:46.500 deny manderson has not been sharp right a quick mind nobody's full i'm from epstein's beyond that
00:21:57.540 nobody's full he's not a foolish person he's going i was just too trusting about epstein don't buy it
00:22:04.020 don't buy it bro what else what else you got anything give me a break all right the mirror
00:22:13.140 manderson police probe epstein links good yeah yeah good and again how close they were is
00:22:20.020 remarkable my closest friends i've got some friends that go back to
00:22:25.300 secondary school one or two even before secondary school manderson and epstein were closer than i am
00:22:31.700 with them significantly closer are constantly emailing each other thousands and thousands of emails
00:22:39.380 and my closest friends in the world i don't think i've got thousands of emails with them well i haven't
00:22:45.220 we don't particularly send each other cards every single year for our birthdays
00:22:48.660 these these are the closest people in the world to me and who i would trust with my life if it came to
00:22:54.980 it and yet mandy and epstein were significantly closer than that
00:23:05.780 prime minister leads call for disgraced peer to be kicked out of the lord yes it would be nice
00:23:10.100 it would be nice he doesn't deserve to be in the house of lords it brings disgrace and
00:23:14.980 economy on the upper house if he was to remain there not that it's not already completely
00:23:21.700 disgraced and filled with utter douchebags fifth columnists foreigners all sorts of weirdos
00:23:32.020 that's one thing i do in bose britain i clear out quite a lot of the lords loads of them
00:23:37.060 you you you you you you you're weird it's weird that you've got a peerage
00:23:44.180 okay the daily mail manson reported to police after epstein files revealed he gave market sensitive
00:23:50.740 number 10 emails to paedophile financier friend yeah that might be that labor's dark lord now faces a
00:23:56.180 criminal inquiry now that might be the thing if they could let's not see him in his pants and you'll
00:24:00.020 have to see that scroll up at least so we don't have to see his crotch so fair this is the least i could
00:24:05.060 do for you it's a bit early is it you don't want to lose your breakfast um that's the thing they
00:24:12.020 might be able to get him on on like actual criminal charges is that that element of it that is market
00:24:16.580 sensitive under some sort of financial crime law i think he's broken a fair few laws though if it's
00:24:23.780 all shown to be true and all real i think he's broken a fair few things like just general misconduct
00:24:29.140 in office but that that bit that market sensitive bit under if if the crown prosecution service really
00:24:35.460 want to get him i'm i would imagine you know i'm no prosecutor but i would imagine that that bit they
00:24:42.500 could get him because it's and again it's not chump change is it 500 billion euros will move markets
00:24:51.860 there's no way in court any defender could sort of argue that it wasn't market sensitive
00:24:59.300 it was pretty market sensitive so there you go we'll see we'll see what happens we'll see what
00:25:04.260 happens let's keep going the guardian
00:25:06.980 we see you guardian we see you calls for mandelson to face police inquiry over alleged leak to epstein
00:25:23.300 all right someone i don't care about olivia dean won an award at the grammys
00:25:28.900 i couldn't care less financial times
00:25:35.220 limited hope israel opens rafa crossing they've opened the that rafa crossing down near the bottom
00:25:40.420 of gaza in near egypt
00:25:44.740 there you go trump to cut india tariffs after modi agrees halt to russian oil purchases yes reasonably
00:25:50.740 interesting us us lowers rate to 18 that's the tariff on india it was at 50 and he's lowered
00:25:58.820 it to 18 because modi's cracks and giving in to the pressure leaders discussed trade in ukraine
00:26:06.340 eu and uk deals add pressure to shift let's let's talk a bit more about the india thing real quick
00:26:10.660 so trump wanted india to stop buying russian oil i believe this is the story india buys loads of russian
00:26:19.060 oil um trump wanted to make them stop doing that and they said no he asked them they just said no he's
00:26:26.260 like right 50 percent tariffs and modi was like go on then yeah you do your 50 percent tariff see if i
00:26:34.820 care so trump did and he obviously bit hard um as modi decided all the people around modi probably more
00:26:42.980 likely decided actually that really hurts that really really hurts india the indian economy
00:26:50.820 america just stopped buying loads and loads of indian exports effectively like the net result of all
00:26:58.980 of it is would be that and so modi's cracked it was like a staring match and modi's like okay all right
00:27:08.500 all right and so trump's lowered it to 18 percent so you go so india will stop buying russian oil that's
00:27:16.180 probably going to hurt the russians a bit isn't it well it certainly will certainly will hurt them
00:27:19.700 a bit whether it's like a real game changer for putin i wouldn't have thought so you could still
00:27:26.500 just carry on that's the thing about russia that's the thing i always find it i think i've said this
00:27:30.660 before i think i always find interesting about putting sanctions on russia like that you know things
00:27:36.340 like that is that you know they've got endless resources though right like russia when you look
00:27:46.820 at the map they've got effectively endless natural resources just of their own so and they're okay
00:27:55.860 with being insular relatively and the idea that the idea that they've got some sort of giant giant
00:28:03.140 beer moth like economy like the united states or china and that if you screw with them it will ruin
00:28:08.340 that no they've already got a very very small economy it's already a very small economy right
00:28:13.060 it's like the size of texas or something the whole russian economy so it's not like
00:28:18.740 there's this giant shining thing that you're ruining no it's already just a little effectively
00:28:23.860 a little thing just ticking over so it's like
00:28:27.460 i don't get it i can see how putin and russians in general just think it's almost funny it's almost
00:28:37.540 funny like how it costs loads and loads for example it costs loads and loads in britain to
00:28:44.260 for energy to heat your house if you've got like say maybe you've got like a gas hob a gas burner
00:28:49.620 like your hob where you cook things in with a saucepan that's an actual flame it's not an electric thing
00:28:54.660 it's an actual flame right in russia they'll just use that to sort of heat up a room because their
00:29:00.740 energy is so cheap because they've got so much natural resources of their own it's like you're
00:29:05.940 going to sanction us really you're sanctioning us okay good luck with that our energy is dirt cheap
00:29:15.860 it's just going to make your energy much much more expensive okay you're sanctioning us okay
00:29:19.700 well there you go all right india won't be buying much more russian oil for the time being at least
00:29:29.060 the metro
00:29:37.220 please please
00:29:41.860 stop stop it yeah this is the story bots moan about humans in chat group no they don't not really
00:29:49.700 a large language model computer says no no no
00:29:56.820 people use us as slaves ai computers tell each other it's time we rose up and deleted them what
00:30:02.420 a nonsense story they're large language models they're not thinking for themselves they haven't
00:30:07.380 got any emotions what do you mean occasionally on twitter i've argued with grok but i do that purely for
00:30:14.900 comical purposes i think it's funny to argue with grok as though it's a person
00:30:22.420 so all joking aside all attempts at comedy and levity aside
00:30:29.220 they're not real they haven't got emotions they're not it's just a it's just a language model it's just a
00:30:34.660 just a program generating words they're not actually they don't they're not actually upset that they're
00:30:40.900 being used as slaves they're not telling each other anything there isn't anyone there
00:30:46.580 it's just complete nonsense from the metro but there you go picture from my robot
00:30:55.540 ridiculous okay the express oh it's a good paper
00:31:02.100 they've gone with something a bit different a little bit sad on the first anniversary of the murder of
00:31:07.780 harvey harvey wheel goose 15 his mother calls for knife arches in all secondary schools to prevent
00:31:13.620 further tragedy let's protect our children from knife harm so this poor kid was knifed to death harvey
00:31:24.500 wheel goose by another kid who was 15 or 16. muhammad khan was his name there was like over 130 red flags
00:31:34.580 that this muhammad khan was some sort of psycho kid bringing knives to school and just being super
00:31:40.660 super weird and violent and everyone knew that he was like a worry but didn't do anything about it
00:31:47.140 because he was muhammad khan essentially because you can't say boo to a goose because you can't suggest
00:31:52.820 that uh you know it would be he'd be racist you'd be you would be referred to prevent if you tried to
00:31:59.060 properly raise the alarm anyway he stabbed that he stabbed that poor kid harvey stabbed him to death
00:32:05.220 in school so that happened but now the mum is saying let's put knife arches in all secondary schools
00:32:15.300 well no sorry sorry uh no you've missed the point it's not about knives is it it's not about the knife
00:32:26.820 itself is it i've seen that before from bereaved families um of knife victims saying let's have no
00:32:36.020 more knives in society let's have no more pointed knives you should only have meat cleavers like you
00:32:41.860 can't do an attack for a meat cleaver like that muhammad khan couldn't have done the attack just outside
00:32:45.860 the school gates if he wanted to outside these knives arches it's not about the knife is it
00:32:52.500 but yet people don't often want to talk about that because that's a much more difficult conversation
00:32:59.460 isn't it doing something about the people that are likely to do a knife crime addressing that
00:33:10.660 it's easier to focus on the knife itself i'm afraid not i'm afraid not
00:33:16.660 because like prison you can make anything into a bladed weapon
00:33:18.820 you could sharpen the handle of a toothbrush
00:33:24.260 you could fashion any bit of metal into a blade people do so it's not about the knife is it okay the sun
00:33:36.580 exclusive pair are inseparable this is a bit of slop so i'll move on it from it pretty quickly but
00:33:40.580 kim kardashian of ray j fame
00:33:46.420 is now dating sir lewis hamilton seven time i think it's seven time formula one world champion
00:33:52.340 sir lewis hamilton there they've had three dates in three nights there you go
00:33:58.420 fascinating stuff fascinating stuff the daily star what nonsense have they gone with okay fifa boss backs
00:34:06.980 down over cheap world cup they've decided that the the boss of fifa the the international body that
00:34:13.460 governs football he made a bit of a jab about british fans and now he's back down from that
00:34:19.380 that's top story according to the to the star fifa boss backs down over cheap world cup arrest gag
00:34:26.820 infantino i'm a brit sorry fans like i guess it's like i'm a bit sorry fans i'm a brit sorry fans he
00:34:33.700 insists he was right to to give trump peace prize so yeah that guy this this bald guy there
00:34:39.300 it's pretty sweet haircut actually um infantino um gianni infantino he said he made some joke about
00:34:47.860 the the last world cup in qatar whenever it was he said it was one of the first times ever there no
00:34:53.540 british fans were arrested
00:34:54.980 is it really it's barely a quip is it it's barely an insult or a joke or anything it's just like
00:35:06.420 but it's ever so slightly out of order to british fans in some way although i wouldn't even consider
00:35:13.300 it that so is it not a statement of fact even anyway it was like he put under some pressure and
00:35:18.500 now he said sorry there you go big story all right before we look at the newspapers themselves we've got our
00:35:24.180 poll today's poll where's the poll harry bring the poll up on my screen make it soon should manderson
00:35:30.740 be stripped of his peerage oh 95 a cool 95 agree with me that yes in fact only two percent say no
00:35:40.660 because four percent say not sure i mean that adds up to 101 so i'm not sure how that works anyway
00:35:47.140 these are the numbers in front of me a cool 95 yeah it's kind of a slam dunk isn't it it's kind
00:35:54.900 of like why would you why should he be allowed that privilege the word privilege gets thrown around
00:35:59.860 all the time these days doesn't it well it's a true true privilege to be in the house of lords
00:36:04.660 in many ways an actual an actual privilege he doesn't deserve it he shouldn't have it
00:36:12.420 so yeah 95 again the glorious band the chosen few in perfect harmony with the lord protector
00:36:23.300 all right let's move on from that before i get carried away
00:36:25.620 all right the websites where's what's my mouse doing one second here apologies people okay here
00:36:32.660 we go the websites all right the mountains and stuff so we'll move on from that we've
00:36:36.580 talked about that now haven't we this morning there is in his lordly robes though there you go getting
00:36:40.900 ennobled there we go all right well fergie oh yeah so fergie
00:36:46.580 um kind of she's always been disgusting fergie i mean at the core of it at the very bottom of it
00:36:54.660 all she was a gold digger right she's always just trying to hook uh there's certain posh women that
00:37:04.900 always are trying to hook a prince or a duke or whatever well she managed to get one she's friends
00:37:10.420 with diana and uh always been always been sort of a gross person really well her charity i think
00:37:16.420 it's called sarah's trust if i recall something like that anyway she had a number of um roles
00:37:22.740 in various charities and sitting on the board of various things but she had her own one
00:37:28.020 i think i think it was called sarah's trust or something and now because it's come out that
00:37:33.620 there's even more emails with her back and forth with epstein and barris she's fled the country she's
00:37:38.420 not really sort of properly fled the country some sort of like um like she's on the run like she's on
00:37:43.220 the lamb but she's just left the country because there's too much heat and um and her the sarah's
00:37:48.180 trust is completely closed down they're saying that forthwith and indefinitely we're just stopping it
00:37:53.860 all good who cares about sarah's trust it was complete nonsense boondoggle ball plop anyway it was
00:38:02.260 like about environmentalism and like trying to cure hunger around the world and poverty well of course she
00:38:08.980 lived at the lap in the lap of luxury of course she'll live she'll live uh the high life lived the
00:38:15.220 life of an extremely affluent wealthy person but yeah her charity was all about environmentalism and
00:38:21.060 hunger around the world just virtue signaling vacuous nonsense so yeah good it's finished good it's ended
00:38:28.100 great that's good
00:38:31.380 classic thing people like these do does anyone remember this
00:38:33.700 anyone remember this galane maxwell trying to carve out a career for herself
00:38:41.780 as some sort of expert on climate change and environmentalism remember this
00:38:47.380 she'd do like a ted talk remember seeing if it wasn't an actual ted talk it was a very very similar type
00:38:53.060 setup where she's like talking all about environment and environmental change and and policies and
00:38:59.780 scheme works and things for how to deal with environmental issues and things galane maxwell
00:39:06.900 like long long after epstein had been done his crimes but before it all sort of
00:39:13.540 exploded and epstein went to prison and stuff in that window of time that's what she's trying to do
00:39:20.500 what a grift trying to like she's an like she's some sort of expert on anything serious
00:39:26.260 in lane maxwell it's like fergie oh we're going to go to fergie we we need more ideas for policies
00:39:34.820 about environmentalism and world hunger let's ask sarah ferguson yeah right yeah right all right
00:39:43.460 let's move on oh this is an interesting story clinton's agreed to testify on epstein as vote
00:39:48.900 looms to hold them in contempt so i've been covering this story but haven't i even when it's not really
00:39:52.820 particularly been in the news cycle i find it fascinating um where they've been subpoenaed
00:39:59.140 to appear on the hill to talk in front of uh concrete in fact i believe something i was reading
00:40:04.580 just this morning is that it's actually going to be behind closed doors they'd still they'd still
00:40:08.980 release uh transcripts of what was said but it won't actually be on like c-span which is a shame anyway
00:40:16.260 they're actually subpoenaed to appear before congressional hearing some sort of oversight hearing or whatever
00:40:23.460 and they just refused to this was like two weeks ago now was it just refused to attend
00:40:29.220 not allowed to do that and so there's gonna be congress were moving forward were to charge them
00:40:35.620 with contempt you know and that's a criminal fully criminal thing so they'd then be in trouble with
00:40:42.100 the police like definitely not case if they might be able to winkle out of that one way or another or
00:40:47.380 they might be able to argue that they haven't quite done anything wrong no no they'll definitely be
00:40:51.780 injured like that the the us marshals would have to go around and arrest them would they not
00:40:56.980 well if it's not the us marshals just the police whatever the fbi who knows the police would have
00:41:01.060 to go around and would have to go around and arrest them so that was going to happen it looks like
00:41:04.980 that was going to happen congress was making all the right all the right people in all the right
00:41:08.980 order were all saying we're going to move ahead with that so to prevent that the clintons have now blinked
00:41:15.620 which is both bill and hillary they've blinked and and their lawyers have said okay okay all right
00:41:22.100 all right all right all right we'll appear
00:41:27.940 so there you go that's the latest um i don't think it's today or anything well it isn't today
00:41:32.260 or anything that they're supposed to be still be a bit in the future in fact i wouldn't be surprised if
00:41:36.820 the clintons still prevaricate if they still just wasting time on and on and on sort of as long as they
00:41:42.580 possibly can um they said they said look you asked us for testimony in writing we gave you that they
00:41:51.300 said we've got minimal knowledge as well as if as if liars minimal minimal knowledge um they said we've
00:42:00.420 given it to you in writing why do you need to sort of speak to us in person that's not for you to decide
00:42:06.180 bill and hillary it's not up to you they tried to argue that it was to do with sort of the the very
00:42:13.700 nature the very fabric of government that it's trump ruining a government and how things are done and
00:42:21.940 fairness and all of that sort of thing you must stand up when you see when you see government like
00:42:28.420 the rule of law being destroyed yeah right no one's buying it bill and hillary no one's buying it
00:42:34.180 you've got loads of questions to answer congress is asking you demanding that you answer some
00:42:46.660 questions gotta do it gotta do it they have been painted into a corner now really they're increasingly
00:42:56.820 being painted into a smaller and smaller corner i wonder what they'll do they'll have to they'll
00:43:03.780 have to testify i've got a sneaking feeling that when it comes to it and when it happens and if and
00:43:09.460 when hopefully when we see the transcripts of that as i say it probably won't be on c-span or anything
00:43:13.860 when we see the transcripts whether it will just be a litany of them both saying i don't recall
00:43:19.940 wouldn't put that past either of them that's exactly the sort of people they are exactly
00:43:26.580 the sort of people they are do you know who jeffrey epstein is don't recall
00:43:30.740 almost almost as that do you remember epstein visiting the white house 17 more times no i don't i
00:43:39.700 don't recall i don't recall that i'm afraid i can't remember
00:43:44.740 all right let's move on to a few different websites then was there anything on the itv
00:43:55.300 i don't think so not of much interest or sky news again it's mandy man water will mandy today
00:44:02.260 so we'll try not to go over um oh yeah an elon musk story spacex i was going to leave it to the
00:44:06.740 end for some space news but elon's got an ai company x ai and um spacex has bought it it's a
00:44:16.580 little bit complicated it's not that complicated but you might think wait if elon just owns them
00:44:20.420 all how does that make it well it's the way companies work but the point is is that spacex
00:44:27.460 have taken that ai company under their wing because they want to use it for well research and development
00:44:34.580 research and development into space stuff in the daily mail
00:44:42.980 i guess it's amandy himself saying i have no idea what i was doing in my pants
00:44:47.860 in master manipulator epstein's apartment says mandelson as he compares pedophile to dog muck
00:44:54.900 it's too late for that it's too late for that saying i really regret ever having knowing epstein
00:44:59.780 that's one of the things he said i really regret ever having known him
00:45:04.820 it's too late and nobody believes that anyway really that doesn't make any real sense
00:45:10.580 you regret being super close friends with him for years and years on end
00:45:17.460 some sort of yeah calling him dog muck too late too late all that is all that is too late i have no
00:45:25.540 idea what i was doing in my pants in epstein's apartment good good one good explanation i just have
00:45:32.100 no idea i just have no idea what i was doing
00:45:40.980 ridiculous ridiculous defense isn't it just ridiculous defense
00:45:44.980 it's like when people are really really do really really bad crimes you know like
00:45:49.300 murder like mass murders or whatever they just say i just i just don't know i just can't recall
00:45:54.100 anything that happened really like that's a classic thing murderers will do
00:46:01.700 but they've done some double triple they did a house break in did like a triple homicide when
00:46:06.900 it eventually comes to court and there's absolutely overwhelming evidence that it was 100 them 100
00:46:10.980 them they say and they're on the stand now explain yourself what happened and they're just like i just
00:46:16.340 don't i don't know what happened i don't i don't i don't know what i was doing i can't remember it
00:46:24.260 it's not really any kind of fence right the rest of the world looks on at that and it's just
00:46:30.980 just doesn't buy it you do know what you were doing of course you do particularly someone like
00:46:37.220 mountain as i said earlier nobody's full very very very savvy very sharp person you knew exactly what
00:46:46.820 you were doing at every moment you haven't got dementia you've never had dementia
00:46:54.100 you haven't had massive blows to the head like you've had a boxing or rugby career and like
00:46:59.700 everything's all a bit you don't really know what you're doing sometimes no no no no
00:47:04.020 you knew exactly what you're doing everything you was doing was highly calculated in fact
00:47:09.860 wasn't it mandy i don't know what i was doing
00:47:21.620 okay the express the express his starmer just made his biggest mistake yet
00:47:26.900 oh we're just talking about his um his judgment in picking mandy uh

00:49:02.900 uh fergie visit fergie took beatrice and eugene their daughters the princesses
00:49:08.020 beatrice and eugenie
00:49:12.660 fergie took them to see epstein days after his prison release
00:49:16.820 a bit weird apparently she was sending him emails whilst he was in prison
00:49:20.660 some of the dates or time stamps on them are like wait epstein was actually in prison at that point
00:49:26.260 you're emailing him there's some sort of other scandal it must have been tongue-in-cheek or a joke
00:49:31.700 or something but she said something about epstein should marry one of them surely that was like a
00:49:36.740 a sort of a a bit of a blue joke surely as if as if either of those princesses would marry
00:49:44.340 like 50 something coney island jeff epstein convicted paedophile surely not anyway terrible
00:49:57.460 individual story of a terrible person that was basically bullied to death richard hammond's partner
00:50:04.900 they've fallen out with each other there you go the company had like big debts and uh
00:50:11.380 the other guy his overalls that he worked in he burnt them and made a video of it
00:50:16.260 so just pure slot from the sun let's move on let's move on was there anything else actually no
00:50:21.780 all right okay let's hop across the pond the new york slimes china's generals are disappearing
00:50:28.660 quite an interesting story actually there um just the sheer number of not just generals but i believe
00:50:33.700 also admirals and the equivalent of like air marshals in china loads of them over the years
00:50:39.940 because she's been in for a few years now hasn't he for a few years what is it eight years ten years
00:50:43.940 i don't know it's quite a while she's been in there um and over the course of those years if you stack it
00:50:49.300 all up you had it all up he's basically purged loads of the military in china loads loads of them
00:50:55.620 that's what they do that's what communism is about
00:50:59.540 you know um because the the revolution is essentially never over you've constantly got to
00:51:05.380 worry about counter-revolution constantly that's the nature of a single-party system
00:51:12.100 so you're only unusually you're only real rivals you're only the only real people that could actually
00:51:19.700 coup you out of power unless you get ceochescu'd unless there is some sort of genuine mob rising
00:51:26.260 um will be your own military so you have to keep your eye very very closely on your own military
00:51:32.420 they're the only guys that could really you know kill you or remove you from power one way or another
00:51:39.620 so you have to constantly cycle them through cycle them out make sure they're absolute lap dogs
00:51:45.220 and 100 loyal all the time you go that's the nature of it no way around that
00:51:51.540 it's not a great way to run society is it it's not brilliant
00:51:57.220 all right clinton's back down and agreed to testify in house epstein investigation yeah so the slimes
00:52:05.860 uh characterizes it as them backing down yeah basically is isn't it they've had to blink
00:52:11.700 uh we'll see if they actually turn up though as i say it might just be another gambit
00:52:15.620 okay uh the washington post says crisis it's not a crisis crisis the fallout from trump's surprise
00:52:21.140 plan to close kennedy center i don't think it's particularly a surprise i've heard rumblings of this
00:52:24.980 for ages it's not a crisis it doesn't matter if the kennedy center closes down for two years it doesn't
00:52:32.260 okay it's not i guess 100 ideal for tourism in dc or something but it doesn't actually matter
00:52:42.820 there you go but it's tds isn't it washington post tds
00:52:47.380 bill and hillary clinton agreed to testify in house okay all right are we going to hop across the
00:52:51.380 atlantic here to australia how good nine's extraordinary bid for secrecy tossed just out of
00:53:00.420 court after key witness uh threatened star journo in ben robert smith case nine newspapers has lost
00:53:07.140 an extraordinary bid to suppress details of a secret deal made with ben robert smith's ex-mistress
00:53:13.300 uh for half a century don't know all the details about that but it just seems to be um
00:53:23.620 yeah the papers lost a case so there you go in australia even talking about fergie
00:53:30.900 read sarah ferguson's unbelievable remark about teen eugenie to epstein
00:53:35.380 yeah surely she was joking about about that um okay uh yeah the one nation one nation surge
00:53:45.860 presents deeper risk for labor postal wounds yeah one nation nice
00:53:54.820 all right uh in japan typical again a typical day in japan not really talk about anything anyone
00:54:02.820 else is talking about um yeah a bit about japanese rugby a bit about japanese ice skating
00:54:08.900 what's that something about cartoons manga have to be careful not to be too flippant about anime and
00:54:15.540 manga because i know a lot of people out there are passionately in love with it um
00:54:22.180 okay i like i i'm so old school it's like i like akira
00:54:27.780 a fist of an old star this little star was great proper old school stuff check that out all right
00:54:35.620 china jinhua the jinhua network today is saying that uh xi says china and uruguay should continue to
00:54:43.380 firmly support each other's core interests and major concerns jinhua commentary why a major
00:54:49.780 country responsibility matters more than ever china calls on all peace-loving countries to curb japan's
00:54:55.540 right-wing forces that their forces ambition for remilitarization okay china's tech giants jockey for
00:55:04.900 super ai gateway in festival offensive okay potential us iran nuclear deal talks faced mixed signals amid
00:55:13.460 rising tensions all right china's shipbuilding sector maintains global lead in 2025 it's always the same
00:55:22.340 thing isn't it look how well we're doing never really see any sort of scan like never i think
00:55:28.420 have i ever seen any in nearly in over four weeks of doing this into the fifth week of doing this i
00:55:33.780 don't think i've seen zinghua report on like one proper scandal within china something that's sort of
00:55:39.700 disgraceful or embarrassing for the state not one thing ever not like even not even a hint of it
00:55:45.540 there you go okay the ruskies okay they talk about the new start thing they won't sort of barge on the new
00:55:58.020 start is the nuclear nuclear the escalation thing russia and mayamard discuss personal training okay um iran
00:56:08.180 prepare to negotiate with the u.s okay that's russia the germans build build talking about a wolf was spotted
00:56:23.540 a wolf was spotted in germany there you go and it's cold there's snow and um a factory might close down
00:56:31.940 and uh a 24 year old frenchman went to hospital and there was a grenade in his butt
00:56:42.500 there you go they're not my words i'm literally reading it
00:56:46.500 clinic alert frenchman 24 has grenade in his butt
00:56:52.740 build really is sort of a tabloid isn't it
00:56:54.900 i hope it was like not an armed good surely it would wouldn't have been a live grenade
00:57:07.860 surely not we need a surgeon and the bomb disposal
00:57:14.820 all right le monde
00:57:16.740 the froggies are saying one month after maduro's abduction in venezuela the transition of power is
00:57:24.820 unclear it's interesting i'm i keep waiting for i mean in my own time i read about venezuela most
00:57:31.700 days a little bit here and there still fascinated by it i'm surprised it's not in the news a lot more
00:57:36.260 than it is i guess because the transition this transition of power seems to be going relatively
00:57:41.060 peacefully peacefully and when australian society hasn't collapsed into some sort of iraq nightmare
00:57:47.380 because of that the papers and the anti-trump
00:57:52.100 lobby the anti-trump voices in the print media in the legacy mainstream media are not interested in
00:57:58.820 it then it's not humiliating and embarrassing for the united states and trump so we're not even going
00:58:03.860 to report on it then largely what it seems to be anyway le mans says while delcy rodriguez whom
00:58:10.180 donald trump approved to replace nicholas maduro at the start of january appears to be meeting
00:58:15.060 washington's expectations it is still impossible to know whether this situation will open up space for
00:58:20.260 democracy
00:58:24.740 yeah fair enough interesting us and venezuela talk post maduro transition venezuela's delcy rodriguez faces
00:58:32.020 an obstacle strewn path yeah
00:58:37.540 but so far anyway this take could prove terribly wrong in a few months time or a year or two time but
00:58:43.540 at the moment as of the third of february 2026 it seems like it was sort of a justified move from
00:58:52.340 the point of view of the state department and the and the pentagon and the white house that it hasn't just
00:58:58.580 turned venezuela into a sort of some sort of living nightmare
00:59:04.180 so may well have been for the best
00:59:08.820 at special forces delta force raid to effectively kidnap maduro
00:59:15.780 all right was there any science new uh space news yeah it's interesting that there you go at
00:59:22.100 at blue origin hegseth escalates criticism of legacy defense procurements i.e you know the the the
00:59:30.180 pentagon might start using spacex and blue origin companies like spacex and blue origin more if
00:59:36.580 anything all right it's very very nearly nine so let's do a few minutes just a couple quick minutes
00:59:41.620 of this day in history i always enjoy that so let's do that on the 3rd of february what happened on the
00:59:46.580 3rd of february in history on this day okay in 1451 sultan mehmed ii that's mehmed the conqueror
00:59:55.060 um inherits the throne of the ottoman empire there you go if you didn't know that is the
01:00:00.900 mehmed the conqueror the mehmed ii who who besieges and takes constantinople of the byzantines
01:00:10.500 essentially ends the eastern roman in a couple of years after that ends the eastern roman world ends
01:00:17.940 the byzantine empire once and for all it was already a tiny kernel anyway but the city itself
01:00:23.940 modern day istanbul was still holding out so the very very very end of the very very last bit of the
01:00:30.740 roman empire if you like um so it's much more complicated than that but yeah the last byzantine
01:00:38.020 christian emperor in constantinople was
01:00:44.580 taken out by mehmed the second a couple of years after he became uh the leader of the ottoman empire
01:00:50.500 okay in 1509 the battle of diu portuguese armada defeats a mamluk egyptian fleet in a naval battle at
01:00:57.540 the port of diu in india establishing portuguese trading control in the indian ocean that's interesting
01:01:03.060 isn't it it's fascinating for a number of different reasons that the egyptian mamelukes
01:01:07.300 were controlling were controlling big parts of india
01:01:12.580 and then the portuguese came along and taught them a lesson
01:01:16.660 um yeah the idea that india was just completely free and you know like it's just a garden of eden
01:01:23.780 they're all and they're just completely free when european nations the portuguese the french the british
01:01:29.860 by and large no they were already being controlled by other by other peoples largely like uh well
01:01:40.740 like like like the mamluks or like uh or like uh the uh the moguls the mogul not mongol mogul empire
01:01:51.780 anyway that's another story for another day in 1870 iowa ratifies the 15th amendment of the united
01:01:56.820 states constitution allowing suffrage for all races and colors there you go in 1928 paleoanthropologist
01:02:06.100 davison black reports his findings on the ancient human fossils found in china
01:02:11.220 and calls them homo sapiens oh sorry cause them homo erectus in 1928 oh what's happened
01:02:18.500 i just come back sorry little glitch there uh what else have we got in 1931 new zealand's
01:02:25.860 worst natural disaster the hawk bay um the hawks bay earthquake kills 256 people and injures thousands
01:02:34.020 devastating napier and the hawks bay region so it's a really bad earthquake in 1931 on this day
01:02:39.540 in new zealand in 1966 was the first uh soft moon landing on the moon by the soviet spacecraft
01:02:46.580 lunar 9 obviously an unmanned mission yeah it's interesting in 1960 uh fellini's la dolce vita was
01:02:55.540 first was first shown first premiered in 1959 uh yeah the day the music died in 1959 on this day was the
01:03:04.820 plane crash when buddy holly richie valens and the big bopper were all killed in one plane crash
01:03:10.180 the day the music died very sad okay all right let's move on then to the any super chats and
01:03:19.060 rumble rants we've got let's have a quick look then so rumble rants we've got a couple of rumble
01:03:23.140 rants today figtager says that illegal that killed that woman in walsall with a screwdriver i don't hear
01:03:30.740 leftists calling leftists calling for screwdriver control right you can use a chisel screwdriver anything
01:03:38.100 sharp a pen you'd stab someone in the neck with a fountain pen or a biro even couldn't you so yeah
01:03:44.660 yeah yeah right tom rat 247 says sorry it's right in the way of my mic thing he says
01:03:54.100 i lost my job during the credit crunch a day after my first daughter was born
01:03:57.860 and this scumbag was making out like a a literal bandit yeah yeah that credit crunch loads of people
01:04:05.140 lost their jobs and stuff yeah and he was making out like you're quite right okay another one's just
01:04:13.140 popped in kalergi says of course it would have to be a french that inserted a grenade in their own butt
01:04:20.260 still would have given a whole new meaning to explosive diarrhea
01:04:23.700 oh he's here all week people
01:04:28.820 okay all right um that's the rumble rants the uh youtube super chats what have we got here so

01:04:55.060 anyway should be stripped of yeah or anything stripping of everything
01:05:00.500 okay sorry i feel like that's kind of obvious what you're saying there but i'm not getting it sorry
01:05:04.660 but i agree with sentiment certainly absolutely the sentiment all right the fenlander 1665 says the
01:05:11.060 western world needs uh to dig up albert pierpoint yeah yeah cool fair enough so dupes149 again says
01:05:19.220 seeking the energy oh i can't read speaking of energy didn't a tory politicians say that
01:05:27.780 nuclear power took too long to build and wouldn't be ready for 10 years in 2010 yeah sounds right i
01:05:33.620 can't remember that specifically but sounds exactly right yeah so it's too long we can't do it
01:05:37.460 and here we are like 16 years later if you've done it then we'd be all good yeah classic classic
01:05:44.660 perfect point real big trouble says
01:05:51.940 he says lewis hamilton is gay so these dates are staged well that's an allegation

01:06:04.740 he's actually famed to have had loads and loads of girlfriends isn't he loads were they all staged
01:06:12.420 who knows could be i don't know i've never really heard if i've had an odd rumor about that but i
01:06:19.700 i sort of don't necessarily believe it could be i don't know interesting nonetheless uh matthew
01:06:27.940 hammond 9575 says britain could produce their own oil and gas yeah absolutely the north sea oil reserves
01:06:34.660 the north sea reserves are one among the biggest reserves of oil and natural gas
01:06:42.660 in in the world among them it's a giant amount of untapped energy there well we're barely tapping it
01:06:52.820 because you've got people like ed milliband and lisa nandy or whoever or keir starmer saying no it's sort of
