00:00:51.040Oh yeah, the rumours are well founded. Anyway, good morning to you all. It's good to be here on this fine day. It is Wednesday the 14th of October 2026, so I suppose we should get on with the business of seeing what those sinister Fleet Street editors have to say about the state of Britain, shall we?
00:01:11.980So if we go first to the Daily Mail, we can see that we have apparently there the heart of Britain, which is quite ominous.
00:01:20.060If the Daily Mirror, the heart of Britain, then we might need emergency surgery.
00:01:27.180So we have here a lot of reports this morning about the authorities have finally come round and given us the identity of William Chapman, this young man who jumped into a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park Sanctuary, I believe it was, in order to protect and breed endangered species.
00:01:52.040I will just say, every single layer of this story as it's come out has been more peculiar than the last.
00:01:59.280Like already, straight off the bat, someone in Britain jumping into a tiger enclosure was not exactly on my bingo cards for 2016.
00:02:09.280It's by far and away one of the strangest things that anyone has done this year.
00:02:14.980But as more and more people began to speculate on this story, as you understand how these things happen on the internet, all sorts of rumours started to swirl about whether or not the man had some learning difficulties, whether he had severe autism, whether or not he had carers with him who weren't doing their due diligence and safeguarding him.
00:02:38.520um but it turns out no it might have been one solo mad lad uh who as the mirror point out here
00:02:47.640was also a child actor uh those actors are you just can't trust them uh but there are more things
00:02:54.360that we'll discuss as we go down because there are more details on the tiger story but it is
00:02:59.100really peculiar and well in fact i'll just say as well that the i mean there was so many um
00:03:07.160debates swirling about online about whether or not the safeguarders at the park and the
00:03:14.640caretakers should have tried to put the tiger down before the young man was mauled or whether
00:03:20.540or not it should be euthanized after the fact. Obviously, neither of those ended up happening.
00:03:27.040It seems that the tiger has come out of this with a massive W under its belt. But it is
00:03:34.460interesting you can see the that british culture for just this british pathology for defending0.96
00:03:40.560animals at all costs which i'm not even against and i i totally understand it especially when you
00:03:46.940have uh the the purpose the reason that this um absolutely beautiful i believe it's an amur tiger
00:03:53.220from siberia was there in the first place is because as i say it was an endangered species
00:04:00.240There's only about 500, 600 of them left right now in the world.
00:04:05.540And so shooting this tiger is quite contrary to the point of having it, obviously, to be bred and its species maintained.
00:04:16.380But then I suppose people at the park weren't exactly banking on this happening.
00:04:22.400Yeah, very, very peculiar story indeed.
00:04:27.980For the love of Sam, Prime Minister backs our water safety campaign for a young lad hero, I believe, lost his life.
00:04:36.000So, yeah, very tragic, obviously. Good thing. I'm in favour of that. Nothing controversial.
00:04:41.160What do we have here? Strictly Come Dancing.
00:04:44.180Emma Willis, even agent, didn't know about audition. Oh, gosh. Blast from the past.
00:04:50.400Back when I used to be living at home.
00:04:52.020um uh strictly come dancing was one of those things when the season came around that my family
00:04:57.200would always watch and so i ended up just sort of you know being there in the room and watching
00:05:01.560quite a bit of it as well uh but that wasn't since uh that golden the bruce forsyth era one of those
00:05:08.460great national treasures that he was bless him so uh yeah obviously been a while now but rest in
00:05:14.880peace brucey i suppose um the main story going around the papers this morning though is this
00:05:21.460because the MI5 chief, Sir Ken McCallum, has gone out into London and given an annual speech
00:05:29.700talking all about the threats opposed to Britain and the British state and national security.
00:05:38.340Far-leftism seems to come up very, very irregularly in all of these reports,
00:05:43.700but you can see here the sorts of things that he's saying that we're facing.
00:05:47.840You've got Russia, of course, being the number one threat, how could you guess, to UK security, and unrest could last for years.
00:05:57.080MI5 are facing seismic changes on the scale of 9-11 terror aftermath, and the risk from sabotage, arson, AI, bioweapons, coercion, and violence.
00:06:11.140So, yeah, it certainly seems that they've got their work cut out for them.
00:06:15.120I will say that one thing that was quite apparent to me as I was brushing through the headlines and all of that this morning was that there seems to be a China-sized hole in this report.
00:06:29.100It's not something that the papers are pushing at all, and obviously from recent work that we've done on the podcast, we know that the British state has become particularly vulnerable to the threat of China,
00:06:42.900whether it be the enlarging of the Chinese embassy whether it be the spies whether it be
00:06:49.060the money that they put into our universities to sway and hold leverage over them or whether or
00:06:56.960not it be some of our MPs having links to the CCP and being born in China themselves so I think all
00:07:04.840of that is just something to bear in mind but it would not surprise me any of this I mean after all
00:07:11.100we have been funding the war in Ukraine for years now, as, of course, are NATO allies.
00:07:19.040And what I wonder about all of this is if these threats are, because obviously Russia is a smaller
00:07:27.580economy than ours, and I do wonder about how long it can maintain this sort of subversion,
00:07:34.240not just against Britain, but of course against the wider EU as well, who are just as hawkish
00:07:40.220on the Ukraine question. So it is very troubling what we're seeing, and it speaks to what really
00:07:47.940is just something that is becoming an ever more complicated world as soon as we start getting
00:07:55.080into the question of hybrid drones and bioweapons and obviously AI and all of these sorts of things
00:08:03.640online. And you could see as well Andy Burnham leveraging these complications in order to sort
00:08:11.460of cloud the question of Brexit, which we'll come to just a little bit later. But I've no denying
00:08:17.860that Russia is obviously out to hurt us. The point I suppose that I would make is that I saw a clip0.97
00:08:25.800of Putin speaking just the other day, and he was being asked about how seriously he takes the
00:08:32.740threat of Britain, and Putin turned around quite glibly and just said that, well, they can't even
00:08:39.820stop these small boats from coming across, and also they're electing Somalians to become MPs.
00:08:46.160It's like, yeah, we are doing that, aren't we? So I've no denying that, of course, Russia is0.98
00:08:53.120incredibly antagonistic towards us, but our own state is antagonistic towards the domestic0.67
00:09:00.200population in return, well, particularly the native stock. So it's an endless riffraff. And0.99
00:09:06.560I do wonder with all of the scaremongering, because generally speaking from polls that I saw,
00:09:12.660there is still a lot of anti-Russian sentiment in Britain. In a world of eradicating your
00:09:21.280unconscious biases, in a world of equality and blindness, it seems that hatred of Russians
00:09:27.500is the only state-sanctioned hatred that you're actually allowed to have,
00:09:43.680Well, I don't watch traitors, I couldn't care less,
00:09:49.560I haven't watched television for quite a while now,
00:09:53.560And I tell you what, it's done wonders for my mental health, by the way.
00:09:58.560But maybe. What is it? Is that a BBC show as well?
00:10:02.920So if the BBC can't stop all of this from happening,
00:10:07.700then, well, I guess the project is doomed to failure of policing the thoughts in your head, isn't it?
00:10:14.880As we say, Daily Express once again covering MI5, Chief,
00:10:19.820that we must not play into Russia's hands.
00:10:23.560And there's also a part down here as well where they say, well, Russia will be delighted at the divisions reopened by Andy Burnham's Brexit blunder, the head of MI5 has warned.
00:10:34.520Yeah, I remember back in the day, the Daily Express being one of the few papers that came out as pro-Brexit, which it was just nice to have one on your side in all of this.
00:10:48.780um but i do i do wonder about this and i also as well i really don't trust the media when it comes
00:10:58.160to the brexit narrative because i fear that what they will do is that they will try to just whip
00:11:04.640the uh the public into a panic into a national panic over this question again to try and
00:11:10.860re-litigate it. And don't misunderstand me, it obviously does need re-litigating. We currently
00:11:19.060have a bad deal with the European Union because it was a deal that was designed by Remainers
00:11:26.720and people who didn't want us to leave in the first place. But ultimately, that bind that it
00:11:34.740settles in again we're still in the echr as well which though not a part of the the four foundations
00:11:41.140it still speaks to the the ideal ideological conformity that our leaders have with the eu
00:11:49.920and i certainly wouldn't pull it past i right now i'm sure they're doing everything they can
00:11:56.320to realign us and to renegotiate away into a single market or anything that it might be
00:12:02.900oh god that's good anyway but the other thing as well sorry what i was saying was that the media
00:12:12.660i think that as we get closer and closer to the general election we shouldn't be surprised
00:12:19.860to see the media try and frame this as a brexit general election again just as it was in 2019
00:12:29.620Now, on the one hand, that might play terribly for Andy Burnham in the Red Wall, especially if he's trying to restore trust in the Labour Party, though I must confess he seems to have a very funny way of going about it.
00:12:45.400But the other thing as well is that I do wonder whether or not, because right now in the polls, Reform UK have been ebbing a bit and the momentum has certainly been taken from them.
00:12:57.720But if the referendum does once again get framed around Brexit, I wonder if this might not be a boon to Nigel Farage, because he was, after all, Mr Brexit himself.
00:13:11.180excuse me he was Mr Brexit himself and so I do think that we run a risk of it clouding the
00:13:20.960public's judgment and trying to make this into a single issue question at the general election when
00:13:28.220obviously there is so much more to play for here and actually as the years have gone on Brexit has
00:13:34.200become, it's still a great concern, but it is smaller than the concern of demographic security
00:13:41.260that we currently find ourselves plagued with right now, where as the years roll on, we're
00:13:46.840finding things becoming, well, as the MI5 chief himself admits, things are becoming far more
00:13:54.620volatile out there on the streets of Britain. And that's a bottle that the establishment have been
00:14:01.400more than happy to uncork for well decades and decades now and then when there is finally some
00:14:09.240pushback from it by a desperate people who don't want to see um uh their daughters or their wives0.97
00:14:17.960or whoever it may be suffering because of these foreign pirates and rapists that are brought in
00:14:24.020which is the government's assessment of these people given the leaflets that they hand out0.97
00:14:29.680Well, like I say, we have bigger things to concern ourselves with right now than the European Union and our current arrangement with them.
00:14:40.080Any deal, any version of the alliance can always be renegotiated.
00:14:45.740And what's more as well, this is an alliance that even if Burnham and his cohort, who are radically pro-EU, do want to realign us with people like Macron, people like Mertz,
00:14:58.700well we just have to consider the fact that how long are those people going to be in the picture
00:15:04.320right now Marine Le Pen is top of the polls in France and so does Andy Burnham want to be dealing
00:15:11.380with national rally does Andy Burnham want to be creating solidarity with the AFD if Alex Vidal
00:15:20.200ever comes to power I seriously doubt it but a lot of this as well will be pushed by the fact that
00:15:26.860there has obviously been a lot of strain put on the between the relationship between the United
00:15:35.260States and the United Kingdom even more so in fact than there was back in 2016 so I do wonder if
00:15:42.900a lot of this haste to try and realign us with Europe is because the British state feels that
00:15:49.960they can no longer count on America as a trustworthy ally, which is remarkable in many
00:15:56.800ways because though America would have obviously liked to see us drawn further into the war with
00:16:03.760Iran, I must hand it to Trump. He has stood by very bloody firmly on the question of the Chagos
00:16:11.140islands and really has been our greatest defender saving us from a national humiliation that a
00:16:19.980Labour Party continues to insist upon and bear in mind as well that this is not just Starmer but now
00:16:27.040Burnham who has been insisting that this plan must go through as well and Burnham is a man
00:16:32.680who, until very, very recently, was merely the mayor of Manchester
00:16:37.820and obviously had very little thought or consideration for foreign policy.
00:26:21.600but obviously I also want to see us prosper as well
00:26:25.880But right now, the entire world, whether it be all of the things that they claim from MI5 about Russian bots and AI farms and Russian misinformation, the fact of the matter is that though I don't deny those things will be happening, our weakness is on full display for the whole world to see.
00:26:48.520and so and this is entirely as a result of our own successive governments we don't need
00:26:55.880all of this fakeness and all these ai bots and i hate that term i hate the term bot because
00:27:03.800immediately even if it were a bot saying whatever it might be saying does it actually dismiss whether
00:27:11.880or not the words themselves are true and if the words themselves are true then well that's what
00:27:18.480really doing the convincing isn't it not the source from which it's coming from but how much
00:27:25.040how much bearing it seems to have on the reality around you
00:27:34.160what we got here then the times how tom cruise made cinema's biggest flop
00:27:39.760right yes so he's just had this new film hasn't he digger uh and it looks like from what i saw
00:27:46.240in the trailers it would have been a very very solid Tom Cruise performance I mean he's a great
00:27:52.000actor I've really enjoyed his work over the years particularly the Mission Impossible stuff I just
00:27:58.980found it really good fun constantly really great particularly that one with with Henry Cavill I
00:28:07.520think that was the last one I saw but I did really enjoy that but yeah it's it's interesting actually
00:28:13.540because, on the one hand, I'm actually very sad about this.
00:28:17.440Not that Hollywood, you know, has much bearing anymore.
00:28:20.620People going to the cinema far and far less regularly,
00:28:24.260and Hollywood is certainly struggling,
00:28:25.960which is why, of course, you've just seen the recent merger,
00:31:08.080Wasn't aware that they were doing that, but obviously great.
00:31:11.760Whether or not this is going to boost the high street,
00:31:15.540I have several question marks over my head about all of that.
00:31:21.360You know, actually, I think it's something we'll cover later in the week,
00:31:25.520But there's recently been a number of raids here in Swindon, just this week in fact, I think three or four raids throughout the town on doggy shops, vape shops and all these sorts of money laundering fronts that have been going on.
00:31:42.500and they're obviously gateways into the black market and the criminal underground.
00:31:47.260So it's interesting when you see headlines like this,
00:31:50.820because in another time, you would read something like this and say,
00:31:55.300well, obviously that is good, let's get the VAT on from the foreign sellers then.
00:32:00.560But one, obviously it might dissuade them from selling to the UK and hiking up their prices, I don't know.
00:32:08.040But the other thing as well, of course, is that it's just tinkering around the edges. It's not addressing the real problem for why the high streets are struggling, partly because, of course, the high streets have been entirely crippled by online shopping, which people are just prone to doing now far more.
00:32:33.160and I'm guilty of it myself because why would I want to go out into a high street that looks like0.99
00:32:40.820a slum and this is of course not just Swindon I went to Reading uh this weekend for my sins as1.00
00:32:47.240well and it's exactly the same you can see all these high streets that are worn out and tired1.00
00:32:52.980and just entirely trodden by foreigners and you know that don't feel safe anymore um loads and
00:33:00.620loads of homeless people about on the streets and I tell you what actually sorry it's just come off
00:33:05.740the top of my head but another thing that really really grinds my gears about the modern high
00:33:12.440street is all the people oh gosh it's relentless every time I go down the high street in the middle
00:33:19.120of the day and you've just got those stalls in the middle of the street where they're saying
00:33:25.920excuse me can i talk to you about this today can i just have 30 seconds of your time
00:33:29.760no leave me alone if i was slightly interested in what you had to offer i would approach you
00:33:36.800and oh gosh it's just exhausting and you you can see it's quite funny in a way because you can see
00:33:45.560people walking down the high street and there's the approach these stalls where people are wanting
00:33:51.180to accost you for whatever random rubbish it is they're trying to sell you you can tell like the0.95
00:33:56.700red sea people just kind of like part and go around them and try and give them as wide a0.99
00:34:02.060berth as they can or look like they're involved in their phones um but it's really irritating0.95
00:34:08.420and it's just another thing that i've noticed that's become more and more prevalent that is
00:34:12.640just one of those little signifiers that tells me yeah i i don't want to walk down the high street
00:34:20.000um and it's it's a great shame it's a great shame because obviously the high street and this um
00:34:26.520nation of shopkeepers that napoleon once mocked us as being um it was one of the things that made
00:34:34.400britain absolutely glorious and i i have a small window into it and it's not exactly a high street
00:34:41.860the high street is further down the hill but back when i used to live in lincoln and you can just
00:34:46.940see all of the shops on the hill going up lincoln and these are victorian sweet shops and shops of
00:34:55.020aircraft models and antique shops tea rooms steak and pie sorry pie and mash restaurants
00:35:02.540all these sorts of things you just think to yourself wow yeah we have such potential for
00:35:09.200what our high streets could be and the things that we could sell and the level of uh care and
00:35:15.260artisanal craft that we could put into these things not just mass-produced crap from overseas
00:35:22.220so yeah the the sort of decline of the high street is a very sad thing but everything that i say with
00:35:29.280this i will just caveat with the fact that um i don't think any of this is irreversible i'm
00:35:35.700certainly you know me well enough by now i'm far from a doomer i actually have a tremendous amount
00:35:41.960of hope about me that we can turn all of this around and one day we shall um moving on on as
00:35:49.560well we have uh the pope um who's been treated for lung cancer from what i understand he had an
00:35:55.980operation uh which was successful so i'm absolutely just i'm very glad to hear that it's always um
00:36:03.500it's wonderful when anyone is saved from from cancer and obviously though i have disagreements
00:36:09.460with the pope i hope that he goes on to have um a long um successful uh papalcy i suppose
00:36:17.060uh troubles bill could open the floodgates says the prime minister uh this is on something uh to
00:36:24.680do with uh veterans and ireland from what i understand um which i frankly don't feel qualified
00:36:32.340to talk about. It's not something I've ever looked into meaningfully, so I'll leave that
00:36:41.240one for you to give me your thoughts in the comments. Now we get to The Guardian, and
00:36:47.400by far and away, the most wholesome thing I've seen so far going through the papers,
00:36:52.860which is inside the Immersive Aardman Animations exhibition. My god, I love Wallace and Gromit
00:37:01.380so much it honestly i think that wallace and gromit might be one of the oldest things that
00:37:08.360i remember loving uh you know just watching a grand day out um as a kid and just being totally
00:37:15.500taken aback and honestly still to this day it doesn't matter how old i get how many times i
00:37:20.480watch it these are some of the greatest characters um of british heritage they are so wholesome and
00:37:29.100they have such a quintessential uh sort of like lancashire northern character about them and i
00:37:37.420tell you what man i mean goodness me isn't everything that wallace does just a libertarian's
00:37:44.340paradise i mean this is a man who with no red tape government red tape or interference whatsoever
00:37:52.460was able through a sweat of his brow and the tools of his workshop in his basement to create a rocket ship
00:38:00.740in order to become the first British man on the noon so that he could do it for the cheese industry.
00:38:09.680And I think that that is a noble, noble feat.
00:38:14.060And I'm really happy to see Aardman still going strong.
00:38:18.560I understand there was a bit of a scare a few maybe a year or two ago in which apparently the
00:38:24.560the particular type of plasticine that they use to make Wallace and Gromit and all the things that
00:38:30.120they do they were running out of it but from what I can tell certainly since I followed it
00:38:36.900we're all fine now we're good we're gonna get more Wallace and Gromit and it's excellent as
00:38:43.200well because i remember watching uh uh the most recent one and uh i i'm afraid i can't remember
00:38:49.660the gentleman's name in fact i'll just type it in and figure it out but the chap who played
00:38:54.560voiced wallace obviously the original peter salas uh magnificent actor from a last or some of wine
00:39:00.520passed away uh this other chap has um stepped stepped in i think it was uh someone whitehead
00:39:06.200was it uh chris whitehead that seems to be the name in my brain uh not sure people might know
00:39:13.860in the comments again um but it's really wonderful to see i'm very very happy for it and i may well
00:39:20.580even go and check out this immersive experience i think it sounds like something wonderful and
00:39:25.920you know i've always maintained it's good to support things that are uh actually wholesome
00:39:32.100and good about british culture especially when we constantly see it under siege
00:39:37.280um hive mind the danish beekeepers with a blueprint for a better world i tell you what
00:39:45.780based danish beekeepers my absolute folks i tell you what i'm not even joking with you about this
00:39:53.760because back when i was at uni um i had an amazing introduction to some danish mead
00:40:00.760that I had to get imported from Denmark because a friend had had it got me to try some and it was
00:40:07.340the most divine thing I had ever tasted and so yes I am all in favor of supporting
00:40:15.160Danish beekeepers keep doing what you're doing gents love your work. MI5 again for everything
00:40:23.380that we've covered in the other papers about MI5 and the threats from Russia and also they were
00:40:29.520talking about Iran as well and what recently happened with RAF Fairford which of course there
00:40:36.460are still major question marks around it so part of the problem with all of this is this
00:40:43.640and the distrust that's been sown now between the people and the state is that even when they come
00:40:51.320out explaining things to you about what really happened at Fairford or what's really happening
00:40:57.160down at the channel they've entirely shattered the trust and so you can't even trust your own
00:41:02.840intelligence services anymore and there is always this kind of fog of doubt over everything that is
00:41:08.800being said um and like say i wouldn't want to go back to the sort of conformity of only getting
00:41:16.080your information from the bbc of course but it is sad to see just how much trust has broken down
00:41:23.120across the board across everything even when there may well be wonderful people at mi5 who
00:41:30.080are actually working to try and save us the british people from these threats but the guardian has
00:41:37.040gone with a much more guardian focus on uh the speech that was given by the mi5 chief where they
00:41:44.420point out well there are warnings of the far right uh sorry a right wing shift from anti-migration
00:41:51.180opinion to terrorism so for one thing of course this is coming from this is also in conjunction
00:41:59.980with the government that thinks that reading the lord of the rings or beowulf is basically a symptom
00:42:06.260or you know a precursor for potential terrorism so i don't really hold much stock in any of the
00:42:14.240state assets' opinions on what constitutes fair opinion, or indeed what counts as proportionate.
00:42:21.260But I will say that there is definitely a growing violence. Of course, we've seen this
00:42:27.040most prominently in Northern Ireland recently, where things became very, very heated, indeed,
00:42:37.680literally and metaphorically. But also as well, I've seen numerous videos going around now of
00:42:43.000people um and some of the northern heartlands uh throwing rocks uh through the windows of hmos
00:42:50.680um and no look i obviously don't endorse violence i do think that there is
00:43:00.440ultimately the problem that we have is that the establishment remember all of this is a choice
00:43:06.760these people do not need to be in our country they don't need to be housed at our expense
00:43:11.720and certainly when even the government understands the nature of these people and the very real
00:43:20.160threat and danger that they present to the British people it is deeply worrying because once you've
00:43:27.980done that of course the state has set itself by saying no you the British public have no recourse
00:43:34.780there is no way out of this for you and the moment that you tell the public that there is no way out
00:43:41.800and there is no sympathetic ear whatsoever from burnham's government the government that was going
00:43:48.880to restore trust in the labor party well all i'm saying is it's not surprising to see this escalation
00:43:57.800and if we think that this is an escalation now we obviously only have to ask ourselves what is this
00:44:03.960going to look like in five years in 10 years in 20 years it's going to get a damn sight worse0.82
00:44:10.960which is why obviously we need mass deportations of all of the illegals that have come into this0.94
00:44:18.140country um at our expense and my goodness isn't that in the millions at this point as well and
00:44:26.540the entire uh also oh gosh i saw yesterday um a lot of the councils around london which are0.86
00:44:35.120obviously foreign voted for by foreigners and are now shockingly siding with the illegal invaders
00:44:42.520illegal invaders of our country coming out lambeth council lewisham hackney um harringay
00:44:49.820many others all saying um yeah we're going to actively help them we're going to help the
00:44:56.740illegals we're not going to cooperate with the authorities if they come to deport the illegals
00:45:02.060you can see this very well being styled on the american uh political landscape with
00:45:08.780mamdani and what was going on in um minneapolis and these kind of like ice
00:45:15.160fortresses against ice and trying to stop ice from getting in and doing their job
00:45:22.620the job of making the country safer for the public and dispelling people who shouldn't be here
00:45:28.860but yeah it's total treason it is total treason across the board and we should all be
00:45:36.880very very worried about it indeed especially when as i say we seem to be trapped in a country
00:45:43.140governed by maniacs who are not willing to compromise whatsoever.
00:45:52.100UK resists EU pressure to hit China with tariffs.0.57
00:45:57.480Well, as I say, the United Kingdom, I really don't trust China at all.
00:46:06.000I have personal reasons for this as well, coming from Scunthorpe1.00
00:46:11.360and seeing the way that the Chinese handled the steelworks there,
00:47:01.220Like, no government, no government whatsoever
00:47:04.720that cares about national security would ever allow that to happen.
00:47:09.200But as we can see here as well, UK resists EU pressure to hit China with tariffs. We are, I'm afraid to say, very compromised by China, and it will take an entirely new government, hopefully even a restored government, that cares far more about the British well-being to actually readdress these sorts of questions.0.60
00:47:32.440what else do we have here battle over church of england's slavery fund some of britain's richest0.85
00:47:40.900financiers want to kill off the church's 100 million pound reserve to address effects of
00:47:48.820enslavement well i tell you what thank you patriots based british financiers for stop
00:47:56.460for trying to stop that one honestly it is such a joke and they only do it and they only ask for it
00:48:05.520because they know that our institutions are susceptible to it although oddly enough the king
00:48:11.440did recently come out with possibly one of the few correct opinions of his reign so far telling a lot
00:48:19.360of the the caribbean nations that we weren't going to give them anything whatsoever and if he could
00:48:25.000start ruling more like that, in that vein, I would very much appreciate it, Your Majesty.
00:48:31.860I'm a natural royalist, I'm yours to win over, but he seems to, as many of them do, not want to
00:48:40.460lean into the natural voter bloc. Well, you don't vote for kings, but you know what I mean,
00:48:46.220the actual natural constituency of his people, instead of constantly trying to appease foreigners.
00:48:52.120but yes I'm sure the Church of England will continue to do whatever it can to feel morally
00:48:58.620superior about itself whilst screwing us all over and debasing the dignity of Britain at the same
00:49:06.540time going over to the eye we have oh Rupert Friend interview how nice I will just say he's
00:49:16.540a fine actor a very very good actor is Rupert Friend I particularly remember enjoying his
00:49:23.820performance in The Death of Stalin where he was playing Vasily Stalin's son oh my gosh he was
00:49:31.860so funny it was such a memorable performance definitely check out The Death of Stalin if you
00:49:38.120haven't it's a really really funny film and the fact that it works as a comedy really speaks to
00:49:45.060the quality of the writing, I think. What else do we have? Pensions contributions of 12% urged
00:49:54.460under plans to boost retirement pots by 2035. I don't trust our current economists and Chancellor
00:50:04.680to do such a thing. We'll see what happens. Obviously, a lot of things are speculative right
00:50:10.000now i'm sure dan will come to you with a full analysis of the budget when it hits uh some
00:50:17.600prince harry drama that i could not care less about uh obviously we've talked extensively
00:50:23.720about uh the mi5 stuff this morning so i'll move on from that uh really it is just uh mi5 and the
00:50:32.160tiger uh today those really are uh the main uh news stories what we got up here from career to
00:50:41.120motherhood how the lives of women have changed in 40 years well quite dramatically that's for sure
00:50:48.220i mean you can just listen to any of your parents speak about that um and many obviously of the
00:50:53.900other things that we talk about on the podcast as well in fact firas did a really fantastic segment
00:50:59.520earlier on this week talking about uh the change in women and how they approach dating uh and
00:51:06.660certainly if you've got time i'd encourage you to go and have a look at that one um ai daily star
00:51:13.060tiger yep oh no there he was as a child very peculiar like i say i'm definitely gonna look
00:51:21.980into this more uh burnham trying to give a pro business pitch to bosses um i say good luck with
00:51:30.820that one i don't think that anyone's taxes are going to come down certainly not yours and mine
00:51:36.780we'll see what happens won't we um self-replicating ai worms okay uh toxic water emilia clark in the
00:51:47.560metro my gosh sorry just quickly i hate the metro the metro is the worst rag in britain i am telling
00:51:57.080you now because it is just the london paper that you just have access to when you can just pick it
00:52:03.760up for free it really is the gutter it is everything the entire framing of everything in
00:52:10.480metro it is like the id of london itself and the ideology of london just put to paper and
00:52:20.320it's awful never read the metro avoid it at all costs moving down daily mail
00:52:27.360uh the ex number 10 speech writer who turned her garden shed into a survival bunker
00:52:33.520resourceful uh four out of five new jobs went to foreigners in the past decade0.98
00:52:41.380it's also tiresome man honestly it really really is goodness me um well i'll have a swig of tea1.00
00:53:08.240And, of course, this is continually escalating
00:53:14.300because what we see through the British state, of course,
00:53:19.000is that it will put in all sorts of legislation,
00:53:21.860whether it be the Equality Act and many other things
00:53:25.960to explain to you how you're not allowed to be prejudiced when you're giving out jobs and when
00:53:31.940people are coming for interviews whatever background that they're from but we know very very well not
00:53:39.120just through what goes on in britain but what goes on throughout the west now how um ethnically1.00
00:53:45.640nepotistic a lot of the foreigners are once they arrive in britain and how sick how they're0.99
00:53:51.320constantly willing to privilege their own people above ours and especially this is all exacerbated1.00
00:53:58.280of course by the DEI targets and quotas and now here we are not only do we find ourselves
00:54:05.720replaced in their own job market and therefore unable to have a house unable to accrue capital
00:54:14.220and therefore unable to have children and have the birth rates.
00:54:18.780And so the powers that be in their infinite wisdom
00:54:22.580have locked us into this infinite doom loop
00:54:26.100where all of these problems kind of prop one another up.
00:54:30.180And because they're unwilling to address any one of them,
00:54:34.760because they know that it will require wholesale change
00:54:39.640of our economic model, our way of life, our mentality,
00:54:43.420I mean as Rupert Lowe said in his initial statement when Restore Britain was launched as a party
00:54:49.980what will be necessary is will be extremely painful and one of the things that will require0.99
00:54:55.940is for us to detangle ourselves from an economic system that has found itself hooked on migration
00:55:03.900and won't stop itself and currently right now has no incentives to stop
00:55:09.300um andy meet trump's very glamorous mouthpiece yeah trump does uh there's a new uh spokeswoman
00:55:16.640isn't there for the white house trump does seem to uh to have a type when it comes to a spokeswoman
00:55:22.080doesn't he uh moving on uh pm's freebie uh dinner with city yeah they all have it it's what else is
00:55:31.220new uh and there we go those are the headlines for this morning and goodness gracious i've not
00:55:38.940looked at the time since it's already um five to well beau likes to go over doesn't he so um
00:55:45.140i'll um i shan't cut you short either let's uh carry on because we still have many things to
00:55:50.700go through we have on this day in history of course but also as well i thought i would just
00:55:56.340give you my own little spin for the day and bring you not only the morning papers for britain but
00:56:04.340also for Minas Tirith as well so let's go over and see what the Daily Gondor is currently saying
00:56:12.200shall we friends about what's going on in Minas Tirith today. The Guard of the Citadel promotions
00:56:18.440reflect an effort by Gondor to become more diverse says Grima Wormtongue writing for the Daily Gondor
00:56:26.140absolutely stupendous journalist is Grima Wormtongue trust every word he says. Membership in the
00:56:34.100prestigious warrior order serving as bodyguards to the Knights of Gondor and tasked with protecting0.99
00:56:39.800the White Tree is no longer an impossible dream for the Uruk-hai. Now isn't that nice? A recent1.00
00:56:47.500wave of promotions means nearly three out of four officers come from diverse backgrounds with plans
00:56:54.580to diversify the guard further until no men officers remain. I tell you what, it's not what
00:57:02.740elendil had in mind when he first came to gondor it's not what isildur would have wanted uh we can
00:57:08.820only hope that aragorn will come along and sort it all out as well as his tax policy of course
00:57:14.280uh story goes on but the white tree has been torched upper level houses looted king unaccounted
00:57:21.540for and a difficult first day for new guards of the tower of gondor i tell you what you say what
00:57:29.020you want about Pippin and his blunders in the minds of Moria he never set the white tree on fire did
00:57:35.200he he wasn't that much of a fool of a toque was he just something to think about um and then we
00:57:42.720get to the news for today and I tell you what what an auspicious day to turn uh to be hosting the0.89
00:57:48.080show on we have October the 14th the 960th anniversary ladies and gentlemen of the Battle
00:57:56.320of Hastings, oh gosh, you love to ponder it, don't you? I mean, honestly, it's just, that date, 1066,
00:58:06.900will just echo in the, you know, in the minds of the English consciousness for all of our time to
00:58:12.740come, won't it? And obviously, I encourage all of you Anglo-Saxon patriots out there, listen,
00:58:19.660just because it's been 960 years doesn't mean we give up the fight we will shake off the shackles
00:58:27.780of the norman yoke i guarantee it we can do it if we work hard enough um but yeah of course
00:58:34.600harold the second harold godwinson was cut down at the battle of hastings the shield wall broke
00:58:42.120Whether or not William called a strategic feint, sorry, a feint to the retreat, or whether or not it was a genuine rout that William was then able to reform and push back with against Harold's men after they broke the shield wall, it's a remarkable story.
00:59:06.360And I think one of the reasons why 1066 sticks in the mind so much and there is so much wonder about what might have mean about what a distinctly Anglo-Saxon England might look like today or all of the things that the Normans have done to us since and the way that they ended up shaping our history is the fact that really when you look at Hastings, the future was not written.
00:59:36.360uh necessarily before the battle started uh it really could anyone could have walked away the
00:59:43.300victor that day um but i tell you what i i obviously have a great soft spot for harold
00:59:50.140and he was at least able to give the anglo-saxon world of england one last colossal victory at the
00:59:59.340battle of stamford bridge against harold hadrada and the vikings so it's wonderful that harold at
01:00:05.880least still managed to do something that showed his capability as a military commander and as a
01:00:12.640king to defend his nation against the Viking invasions as well. But yeah, kudos to William,
01:00:20.100the Conqueror, I suppose, and everything that he did. I mean, he founded a dynasty
01:00:25.300that obviously endured for a number of generations up to Stephen, and then we got the Plantagenets,
01:00:30.920but through the maternal line, through Matilda.
01:05:11.420and are building Europe's biggest battery plant.
01:05:14.460Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think you're absolutely right to point that out. Obviously, it was the Indians, it was Tata, who for a time owned the steelworks in Scunthorpe, but also as well, who right until it closed at Port Talbot, had control of the steelworks over there in Wales.
01:05:36.000And as you point out, they're constantly making all of this traditional industry, not only across Europe, the battery plant, but also throughout India.
01:05:47.480And they say, well, there's nothing we can do here.
01:05:50.500Your net zero initiatives mean that we can't do to Port Talbot what it needs to actually thrive and be prosperous.1.00
01:05:57.320us um yeah a great tragedy but obviously we shouldn't be allowing the indians to take control1.00
01:06:05.180of all of this stuff it's just nonsensical uh dragon lady chris for five dollars thank you says0.99
01:06:11.440good morning luca i've recently discovered the sharp tv series on the streaming service
01:06:16.240do you recommend it um or is it not worth my time dragon lady i give sharp the highest endorsement
01:06:25.580that I could possibly give to a TV series.
