The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - Breakfast With Beau ｜ Wednesday 20th May 2026

00:00:00.000 Morning.

00:00:05.420 You alright?

00:00:07.120 Right, I'm bushy-tailed.

00:00:09.120 Rocking and rearing for the day ahead, I hope you are, I sincerely hope you are.

00:00:12.740 Me, yeah, I'm fine, I'm joined by my producer every morning.

00:00:16.100 Little Harry, how are you, sir?

00:00:17.620 Morning, I'm all good.

00:00:22.560 Disembodied, slightly disconcerting voice of the all-knowing, all-powerful producer at the controls.

00:00:27.960 you're the glorious band the chosen few my band of brothers and sisters thank you for joining me

00:00:33.740 without you it really isn't a thing get involved in the chat you know we've got a poll i think

00:00:38.360 every day we have a poll give that a whirl why not who's not fannying about

00:00:46.140 what's all this faffing about for let's just get straight into it what's that cabal of evil

00:00:52.660 fleet street editors trying to tell you it is or isn't important this morning at least by omission

00:00:57.520 What are they lying to you about?

00:00:59.840 What are they trying to beam directly into your brain box?

00:01:02.480 All right, we've got price caps on staple foods.

00:01:14.100 And Strictly's triple twist.

00:01:19.180 Communism and bread and circuses.

00:01:21.320 Harry, bring that up.

00:01:24.660 Price caps on staple foods.

00:01:26.500 oh my god oh my god really a little bit speechless all right let's get straight into it the financial

00:01:38.100 times very quick story of no real consequence this guy looks like maybe he murdered his billionaire

00:01:44.900 dad under suspicion son arrested over billionaire mango founders fatal spanish mountain fall okay

00:01:52.660 Much, much bigger story, at least for Britain

00:01:56.800 Treasury asks supermarkets to cap prices on staple foods

00:02:01.480 No, don't do that

00:02:13.920 Please, please, please, please don't do that

00:02:18.340 a little bit of a history lesson on price caps price controls no 101 stuff

00:02:27.700 if there's like a key stage two course on economics it would be don't do price caps 0.96

00:02:35.460 this is so dumb oh my god okay 0.83

00:02:40.180 Now I'm not an economist, a professional economist of course 0.99

00:02:46.380 I did work for knocking 20 years in asset management, investment banking, commodities trading

00:02:52.780 and done political economy post-grad

00:02:55.600 So it's not unreasonable to say perhaps I know slightly more than the average person

00:03:02.620 And of course just the record of history

00:03:08.340 if just that we just look at back at what happened in history when governments try to

00:03:13.700 control prices what happens you ask it ends in disaster every single time

00:03:21.020 well when the when the margins are small anyway let's just make that clear right if it's some

00:03:28.740 sort of crazy luxury item that's something different you know like you put like a 5 000

00:03:35.940 pound fendi handbag right that's something different like a 20 000 pound lamborghini headlight

00:03:44.420 okay that's something different wait it cost them not much to make it and they just charge

00:03:48.660 you an insane amount for it okay that's up to you as the consumer to let yourself be ripped

00:03:52.900 off like that but when the margins are small when the government introduce price caps on things

00:04:01.300 the supplier stops it's pretty straightforward going back to diocletian going back to the year

00:04:11.040 300 ad ever since then every single time if it's the soviet era russians whether it's venezuela

00:04:19.640 under chavez and maduro whether it's richard nixon in the early 70s whether it's britain in

00:04:24.860 the 70s or whether it's here now rachel thieves doesn't work take for example bread or milk

00:04:33.100 let's take milk right the margins for people to produce milk are tiny almost non-existent as it

00:04:41.760 is right so if the government says you can only charge a certain amount for the milk you've

00:04:50.220 produced lower than what the market has decided as if it's the evil market just stealing money

00:04:58.720 out of people's pockets because it's an evil moustache twisting evil market no no that price

00:05:03.500 will be a price for a reason supply and demand you just artificially as the government step in

00:05:09.800 so you you can't charge more than this amount for milk all the milk producers go oh well that's it

00:05:14.560 the tiny tiny tiny razor thin profits we were making now are non-existent we're out of business

00:05:19.880 now it's pretty straightforward it's pretty straightforward

00:05:32.840 don't do it don't ever ever do it deal with inflation other in other ways actually deal

00:05:37.960 with the real problem real fundamental issues issues that are causing inflation

00:05:42.360 never works never i mean never have a look at let's just say i mentioned diocletian didn't i

00:05:51.120 go back you look at diocletian in the roman world where beginning of the fourth century a.d

00:05:56.620 there was inflation in the roman economy diocletian decided he'd pass an edict

00:06:03.360 limiting the price capping the price of like a thousand different things

00:06:08.540 Well, loads of the people producing those things

00:06:11.760 Just couldn't, didn't produce them anymore

00:06:15.020 Or they stopped selling them normally

00:06:17.700 And just did a black market

00:06:19.000 And just sold them under the counter

00:06:20.140 At the prices they needed or higher

00:06:22.580 The Soviet era, exactly the same thing 0.59

00:06:26.160 Sort of exactly the same thing 0.53

00:06:28.200 Venezuela

00:06:29.720 In recent times

00:06:32.320 Exactly the same thing

00:06:38.540 But that's what you get if you let the Chancellor of the Exchequer be a Socialist.

00:06:44.540 That's what you get. 1.00

00:06:46.540 You get some idiot woman who doesn't understand economics. 1.00

00:06:49.540 The first thing she did when she got into 11 down the street was put up a picture of some feminist socialist on the wall. 1.00

00:06:56.540 Now they're talking about price caps.

00:07:03.540 I don't know how many times it has to be tried.

00:07:06.540 i don't know how many times it's exasperating to me it's okay financial time says regulation

00:07:15.420 to be eased in return thieves to outline cost of living help and when they're when the government

00:07:20.700 are asked like i saw in the morning some of the morning shows on tv get like a treasury spokesman

00:07:25.660 in there and there are they said price controls really capping prices really and they just go

00:07:31.660 we're committed to helping the cost of living crisis and this government is prepared to look

00:07:37.240 at anything to help families sounds good doesn't it on the on the face of it sounds good like you

00:07:44.400 as the consumer milk and bread is really expensive perhaps even becoming too expensive

00:07:49.280 but the short very short term fit of price controls

00:07:57.180 um it's a full it's a false economy

00:08:00.840 don't believe me just watch just watch it happen just watch it play out

00:08:07.420 if they do it if they decide to do that you know they could in fact it's something they're sort of

00:08:15.320 saying they could cut all the different taxes that are making things like bread and milk

00:08:21.240 insanely expensive for the consumer like loads and loads of different business rates that they'll put

00:08:26.200 on you if you're trying to produce milk, let's say, let's just keep with milk, you're trying

00:08:30.720 to produce milk and the government just taxes you loads and loads of business rates, put

00:08:33.940 loads and loads of levies or tax on like packaging or something. I could get rid of that, in

00:08:39.320 fact that is the sort of thing they're suggesting really. You're tinkering around the edge,

00:08:47.260 again once again you're not dealing with the fundamental issues that drive inflation. Massive

00:08:54.480 borrowing and spending i.e among other things among other things quantitative easing

00:09:00.960 i will just do covid and then do a giant giant quantitative easing and then price controls

00:09:07.360 that's you've mismanaged the whole thing you've mismanaged it all

00:09:12.080 you've done a number of things that are insane basically

00:09:18.720 once again you don't need a phd

00:09:20.160 in political economy to understand this stuff it's 101 i mean let's have a quick look at uh

00:09:29.940 was it sky yeah let's quickly read sky news we've got a slightly more okay supermarkets

00:09:35.240 quote encouraged to cap food prices by government to help with cost of living crisis

00:09:39.860 don't seem to be worried about that it directly leads to a falling supplier

00:09:51.100 and the shelves go empty like it's the soviet union i'm not talking about that bit

00:09:59.340 the treasury has reportedly proposed relaxing some new packaging rules

00:10:04.640 and possibly delaying changes to rules around healthy food in exchange for price caps

00:10:09.860 Supermarkets in the UK are being encouraged by the government

00:10:16.640 To introduce price caps on key products

00:10:18.900 Such as eggs, bread and milk

00:10:20.340 In return for the easing of some regulations

00:10:22.820 Which has been reported

00:10:24.260 The Treasury has proposed relaxing some new packaging rules

00:10:28.120 And possibly delaying changes to rules around healthy food

00:10:30.400 In exchange for price caps

00:10:31.700 Two sources told Reuters News Agency

00:10:33.680 They said the supermarkets had reacted with anger

00:10:36.740 Yeah

00:10:37.700 don't worry about the supermarkets what about the producers don't worry about the supermarkets

00:10:43.420 necessarily it's just the person at the end of the chain who actually sells you the thing

00:10:48.520 worry about where they get those products from whether that whole thing collapses okay the

00:10:55.600 supermarkets they were reacting with anger and are pushing back the story was first reported by the

00:11:00.460 financial times sky news understands okay this is interesting sky news understands the government

00:11:04.960 is not considering imposing supermarket price caps well what what are you talking about then

00:11:11.280 it's one of those things like the the double speak the double thing involved are you are 0.60

00:11:16.320 aren't you what are you talking about then like there's a ceasefire in the straits of homoes

00:11:21.360 except they're still exchanging fire but it's a ceasefire what what sorry what what is it

00:11:28.080 and you know what it really is right there isn't a ceasefire not in any real sense

00:11:34.720 we're not considering imposing price caps well you are you said you are

00:11:41.200 okay it comes as the government faces a cost of living crisis and after the scottish national

00:11:46.720 party proposed a price cap for essential foods the smp

00:11:57.280 how is it that you can be as in a senior politician let's say in scotland in the smp

00:12:02.480 and apparently not know anything about the history of economics

00:12:10.320 like at all again as i say 101 stuff

00:12:14.240 how's that possible

00:12:17.360 or is it they're socialists and they don't care their ideal ideology comes before reality

00:12:25.040 they care less about reality

00:12:26.640 than just saying what they think is like the virtuous thing to say and do

00:12:32.720 crazy isn't it easy if this happens nobody would invest in the uk one of the sources told writers

00:12:42.860 yeah yeah that as well yeah just a one more massive knock-on effect of that

00:12:47.240 yeah what it is there's price caps on making milk in the uk and i can only make a certain

00:12:55.980 amount of profit, which isn't enough. Well, I just simply won't do that then. It's as

00:13:00.700 simple as that. It's like millionaires and billionaires, or even just slightly wealthy

00:13:07.400 middle-class people. Oh, I'm going to get taxed to oblivion in the UK. Well, I won't

00:13:12.220 live in the UK then. I'll just simply go and live in Luxembourg or Monaco or something.

00:13:20.340 Or in the Cayman Islands or on Jersey or something.

00:13:26.700 this is leftist economic theory for you madness that ends in penury and starvation

00:13:33.660 haven't i been saying it look at maoist era china or look at any communist any communist system

00:13:40.060 where all the prices are controlled what happens

00:13:45.660 supply and demand turns into a chaotic thing a truly chaotic thing and people starve to death

00:13:52.780 your economy implodes and people starve to death every time

00:13:59.700 does anyone out there want to give me an example of when that didn't end up happening oh wait

00:14:06.820 oh wait no there isn't one

00:14:12.100 it becomes absurd when the government starts doing price caps

00:14:18.460 again it's an extreme example but you look at sort of middle or late era soviet union

00:14:24.600 or maoist era china where you know making something's a bit more complicated than just

00:14:31.940 milk making radios or making a tractor something there'll be you've put a price control which

00:14:40.040 isn't which doesn't make any sense on one component one little component and the factory

00:14:46.920 that puts the radio together or the tractor together the supply of that one bit

00:14:52.200 it's just fallen off a cliff because the price control meant it just directly led to that

00:14:59.180 now you can't make tractors at all you can't make radios at all

00:15:09.100 okay one source told sky news if this happens nobody would invest in the uk yeah

00:15:13.720 we struggle for investment as it is because we've got one of the highest tax rates in the world

00:15:19.440 if you want food price inflation to decline you need to start looking at the cost of regulation

00:15:24.980 on business yes that's a reasonable thing to say they added going on to highlight the government's

00:15:29.980 move to raise employer taxes the national minimum wage introduce new packaging levies

00:15:35.200 and propose the reformulation of thousands of food lines it was just far too much government

00:15:43.020 intervention in the market that's what socialist that's what left to say like the market is evil

00:15:47.980 the market itself is the problem it's not it's not the government is the problem

00:15:57.100 a market is just a reflection of supply and demand and it hits an equilibrium and that's

00:16:02.380 what the price is it's not like the market isn't some sort of like knowing benevolent

00:16:11.980 or malevolent thing it just is what it is for a myriad of reasons

00:16:23.900 i can't believe i believe it it's sort of crazy that that's what this government

00:16:29.340 rachel thieves is talking about even even just talking about let alone doing

00:16:35.740 But they think that

00:16:41.780 They think that capitalism

00:16:42.720 They think that the profit motive is evil

00:16:45.560 These evil milk producers

00:16:48.960 Capitalists

00:16:50.020 The owning class

00:16:51.860 They're just driven by profit

00:16:54.280 They just make people poor

00:16:56.160 No

00:16:57.800 Again, it's something slightly different

00:17:00.020 Like Lamborghini or something

00:17:01.660 Where they'll charge you an insane

00:17:05.260 amount for something okay that is something different all right

00:17:10.280 where the profits margin on something is tiny already almost non-existent really

00:17:16.240 you get it a spokesperson for the treasury said the chancellor rachel from accounts

00:17:26.320 has been clear we want to do more to help keep costs down for families and we will set out more

00:17:32.660 detail in due course oh all right it's just about helping families is it

00:17:37.540 we don't want to reduce spending in general and borrowing in general

00:17:42.100 giving loads and loads of money away in in welfare or foreign aid none of that

00:17:46.740 no loads and loads of taxes on everything

00:17:50.500 regulation and levies and taxes on everything

00:17:53.620 quite often multiple times no not that no price caps

00:18:02.660 UK grocery inflation sat at 3.8% in the four weeks to the 19th of April, according to some

00:18:10.040 researchers. The Bank of England said businesses it had spoken to last month expected food

00:18:16.100 price inflation to reach 6 or 7% later this year on the back of the economic fallout from

00:18:21.140 the Iran war. Worrying, isn't it? How to deal with that, not price controls. Don't do price

00:18:29.400 controls, my god, dear god, crazy commie SOBs, okay, alright, Putin's in China, meeting 0.95

00:18:50.260 Winnie the Pooh, China's Winnie the Pooh told Trump that Putin might regret launching 0.98

00:18:55.240 war against ukraine that's not really a threat like xi xi jinping wasn't saying he'll regret it

00:19:01.560 i'm gonna i'm gonna nuke st petersburg for that no no he's just saying

00:19:05.640 in and of himself in putin's own terms he may well regret it

00:19:11.560 he may well be right i mean

00:19:16.120 you know all right the times the venerable times stand firm starmer that's his name now it's not

00:19:23.480 it's a ship running oh i'm supposed to swear on the morning show apologies any kiddy winks in the

00:19:27.620 room apologies that's a lame moniker isn't it stand firm starmer stand firm starmer may still

00:19:36.780 be in downing street in the new year just saying that everyone's just waiting for that by election

00:19:42.540 and even then at the earliest possible thing for starmer to leave will probably be in september

00:19:48.920 at labour party conference and quite possibly for a couple different reasons

00:19:54.040 it might actually still be there in the new year

00:19:56.040 okay here we go milk egg milk egg and bread prices could be frozen

00:20:04.040 it's just to help you out it's just because the evil supermarkets are just just like evil

00:20:11.340 capitalists and they're just stealing money out of your pocket it's nothing to do with us the

00:20:16.380 the the Treasury and the government it's not us it's it's like the evil what is

00:20:22.740 capitalism capitalism is the problem here

00:20:28.620 the profit motive and the iron laws of supply and demand are the problem

00:20:36.820 okay looking at that talks held with supermarkets on easing cost rises it's

00:20:44.760 not really the supermarkets, is it? It's not really them. I mean, it is a little bit. They

00:20:50.080 add a bit more on, don't they? So they can be a business. Okay. All right. The Telegraph.

00:21:07.680 The Daily Toreograph. Oh, Arsenal. Arsenal won the Premier League. There you go. I mean,

00:21:13.180 still game to go isn't there and people don't like football on the show i won't go on about it but

00:21:18.300 arsenal north london football club haven't won the premier league in 22 years and now they have

00:21:22.940 there you go in the champions league final as well they've got a good squad at the minute good squad

00:21:29.500 gooners most affected harry harry as a zoomer finds it hilarious that

00:21:38.860 supporters of arsenal the gunners

00:21:40.700 You know, like

00:21:43.480 Their badge is like a cannon

00:21:46.160 The Gunners, Arsenal, you get it

00:21:48.740 Their fans have always been called Gooners

00:21:51.380 Only recently that that word's taken on a new meaning

00:21:54.840 In fact, we saw Starmer in Parliament the other day

00:21:59.480 Starmer's apparently a football fan

00:22:02.760 As if he really is

00:22:03.880 Apparently supports Arsenal

00:22:06.060 Referred to himself as a Gooner

00:22:08.560 in parliament at the dispatch box

00:22:14.000 okay gooners are over the moon today

00:22:19.700 gooners across england are happy

00:22:27.160 okay because arsenal won the premiership all right reeves tells shops to cap food prices

00:22:35.900 Retail sector decries 1970s style policy

00:22:41.280 As Labour attempts to combat surging inflation

00:22:44.220 Once again, Nixon tried it in the really early 70s

00:22:46.960 And various Labour governments in the 70s tried it

00:22:49.380 A failure, ultimately a complete failure

00:22:51.660 Because it always is

00:22:53.500 Think about Strictly, I won't spend more than a few moments on it

00:23:00.720 Because it's pure slop

00:23:01.860 That shows Strictly come dancing

00:23:03.460 where celebrities and professional dancers dance on tv to distract you

00:23:11.380 from the crimes that are going on at your expense here you go this is the new lineup 0.98

00:23:19.280 that woman that little cretin what's his name josh something in it josh widdekombe that weirdo 0.99

00:23:26.840 little cretin dude and some black gay dude some super super camp black gay dude there you go 0.99

00:23:34.760 there's your bread and circuses okay nato considers joint mission to reopen straits of 0.99

00:23:40.600 hormuz probably won't happen right for nato to do something it needs every single member of

00:23:47.000 nato to agree to it and what is there 30 plus members of nato in the past quite often the

00:23:54.440 the united states can just sort of say this is what we want to do and all the other countries

00:23:57.960 just go okay boss sure thing balls yeah i'm your dutiful little slave so whatever you say

00:24:07.640 not so much the case anymore is it

00:24:12.760 some of the bigger countries like germany and even the uk may well just go no or anyone like any of

00:24:18.600 the 30 plus countries just say no we're not up for that then they say won't do it can't do it

00:24:23.320 So NATO considers its joint mission to reopen Straits of Hormuz

00:24:27.140 I wouldn't put money on that

00:24:28.440 Might happen, mightn't it, might happen

00:24:30.140 But they might all fall in line like the old days

00:24:33.640 I kind of doubt it myself

00:24:36.080 Alright, the higher paper

00:24:38.520 Cabinet Ministers Wu Burnham in race for top jobs

00:24:43.720 Yeah, here we go

00:24:44.740 Here we go

00:24:45.920 Ambitious Labour MPs

00:24:51.400 Thinking, hoping

00:24:53.380 Burnham wins that by-election

00:24:54.720 Then becomes the leader of their party

00:24:56.580 They want a good job

00:24:58.360 Should that occur

00:25:00.000 Likely Labour leadership candidate

00:25:08.180 Tells the iPaper

00:25:09.060 He would introduce Hillsborough law in full

00:25:11.900 And attacks unaccountable British state

00:25:15.380 It's absolutely more of the same 1.00

00:25:18.080 From Two Chins Andy

00:25:20.720 what is that where's your neck gone bro why are you pretending you do cardio bro

00:25:26.220 you're middle-aged and out of shape just just just lean into it why are you pretending you

00:25:32.500 go jogging you don't go jogging you eat too many pies and cakes don't you actually

00:25:37.760 um all right hillsborough oh can i even be bothered to go into andy burnham and hillsborough

00:25:45.860 There was a terrible crush

00:25:50.780 At a Liverpool game

00:25:51.760 At Hillsborough

00:25:52.380 In the 80s

00:25:55.940 There was an FA Cup semi-final

00:25:57.800 Was it?

00:25:59.000 And Liverpool were playing

00:25:59.860 Newcastle was it?

00:26:01.920 It wasn't Sheffield Wednesday

00:26:02.520 Anyway

00:26:02.780 Liverpool were playing

00:26:04.540 At the Sheffield Wednesday's

00:26:07.920 Football ground

00:26:08.700 Hillsborough

00:26:09.620 And there was a terrible crush

00:26:11.020 Back then it wasn't all seating

00:26:12.060 It was what they called terraced

00:26:13.460 Where you just all stood up

00:26:16.260 for various reasons for various reasons there was a crush and loads of people died was it 89

00:26:23.060 90 odd people was it more than 90 people just liverpool fans were crushed to death terrible

00:26:28.820 thing terrible thing there's all sorts of inquiries about it over the years you know

00:26:36.900 uh it's a long a long saga i won't go into it here um

00:26:40.020 but andy burnham because he's actually he says he's king of the north and he's like mr manchester

00:26:46.400 but i think he's a scouser he supports everton his voice is a bit more scouse than mank i'm not

00:26:53.500 even sure entirely maybe he's from between liverpool and manchester they're not that far

00:26:58.520 from each other anyway he somehow just he's decided that like he's the man to sort of

00:27:06.020 set the record straight about hill about hillsborough years and years and years later

00:27:09.560 Which, to be fair, he did

00:27:12.240 I'm not sort of casting any doubt or shade on any of that

00:27:16.960 I'm just saying

00:27:17.600 He goes on and on about Hillsborough a lot

00:27:21.800 And he wants to

00:27:25.280 I can't bother to explain it

00:27:28.480 Alright

00:27:28.680 Blurb on the iPaper says

00:27:31.220 It says

00:27:35.260 Senior ministers scramble to secure positions

00:27:38.620 In a future Andy Burnham led government

00:27:40.860 Yeah that's sort of seeing the way

00:27:42.660 The wind is blowing

00:27:43.380 They want to be in cabinet

00:27:45.340 Not senior ministers

00:27:46.820 Greater Manchester Mayor

00:27:48.460 Selected as Labour by-election candidate

00:27:51.400 Opening up route back to Westminster

00:27:53.480 For possible challenge to Starmer

00:27:55.100 If he wins that by-election

00:27:56.620 Where the Labour majority was only

00:27:58.600 5,000, 5,300 0.55

00:28:00.880 And it was a Brexit area 0.59

00:28:04.360 And all their local government

00:28:06.060 Just went to reform across the board

00:28:07.720 So it's not assuring that he wins that

00:28:09.580 Culture ministers, sorry, cabinet ministers

00:28:12.400 Are said to be preparing visits to Makerfield

00:28:16.000 Amid growing speculation about who would be in his team

00:28:19.160 You've got to go and bend the knee

00:28:20.160 You've got to go to King Andy I and bend the knee

00:28:25.440 If you want power

00:28:27.760 If you want a ministerial chauffeured car

00:28:33.780 You've got to physically go to Makerfield

00:28:38.720 And prostrate yourself before King Andy

00:28:43.680 This is a quote

00:28:50.340 The equation they are making

00:28:53.720 Is that if they go and he wins

00:28:57.140 They will get a plum job

00:28:58.980 A senior source said

00:29:00.180 And if they don't go

00:29:01.900 He will remember

00:29:03.120 Don't displease the Dauphin

00:29:07.920 The King-in-waiting, the heir apparent

00:29:11.500 The Chosen One

00:29:13.320 He in the ascendancy

00:29:15.760 Don't displease him by not physically going to Makerfield

00:29:20.820 Kissing his ring

00:29:24.240 Okay, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband

00:29:30.740 Red Ed

00:29:31.660 Believed to be a frontrunner for Chancellor

00:29:35.640 You get someone more mad 0.99

00:29:40.840 More socialist than Rachel Reeves

00:29:42.980 Ed Miliband

00:29:44.180 Worse than Rachel Reeves really 0.99

00:29:45.640 Because Rachel Reeves is merely a buffoon 1.00

00:29:48.220 Merely a know-nothing 0.97

00:29:50.900 Ed Miliband will be proactively

00:29:53.260 Bad

00:29:55.400 He'll be proactively

00:29:56.420 Very deliberately moving things around the chessboard

00:29:59.120 To destroy the economy

00:30:00.320 rather than just sort of randomly doing it ed milliband tipped to be a chancellor under an

00:30:06.740 andy burnham government disaster the argument that we need starmer to remain there because

00:30:14.100 that's the best thing to ruin labor at the ballot box at the next general election i'm

00:30:18.340 not if andy burnham gets in and makes ed milliband his chancellor that would surely make

00:30:24.780 their ultimate defeat at the ballot box even bigger wouldn't it i would i would have thought so

00:30:31.840 because together they would run the country and the economy truly off the edge of the cliff

00:30:37.480 faster than starmer and reeves are doing i would have thought okay edmund aband is uh tipped to be

00:30:46.960 the front runner for to be chancellor and he's uh he seconded his special advisor to the by-election

00:30:53.820 campaign was it seconded seconded seconded um yeah red eds sent his two ic second in command

00:31:04.060 up to uh go and take the knee before king andy okay the express it's a good paper

00:31:12.620 They go with the new Strictly hosts

00:31:19.260 And the Arsenal one

00:31:20.140 Okay alright

00:31:21.180 Tory leader Olukemu Badenok 1.00

00:31:24.160 The Nigerian woman 1.00

00:31:25.020 Slams labour over rising unemployment 1.00

00:31:27.200 And cost of living

00:31:28.100 Energy bills to soar by £200

00:31:30.100 In another failed promise

00:31:31.800 Quote another failed promise

00:31:33.260 This little weird cuckoo in the nest 1.00

00:31:36.060 Nigerian woman 1.00

00:31:36.920 Somehow bizarrely finds herself 0.99

00:31:39.880 The leader of the opposition

00:31:40.960 Look at this

00:31:43.880 This is the head of government

00:31:45.240 And this is the leader of the opposition

00:31:46.680 If you're a patriot or a nativist

00:31:51.900 In any way

00:31:52.560 You don't get anywhere near selection

00:31:56.680 Let alone near parliament

00:31:57.940 Let alone near power

00:31:58.960 All the main parties

00:32:04.860 Including reform of course 0.93

00:32:06.120 Don't want nativists or patriots

00:32:09.720 or people that are prepared to act truly in the interest of the nation anywhere near them

00:32:15.000 that's been the case for decades so this is what we got

00:32:20.280 an out group preference in party politics for decades leads to this traitors and traitors and

00:32:28.360 foreign fifth columnists right there you go the metro 0.83

00:42:42.680 He's worse.

00:43:08.480 Well I don't know how old it is

00:43:09.560 But it's not like he said it yesterday

00:43:11.280 But nonetheless

00:43:12.440 i think we've got it somewhere have we have we got it somewhere

00:43:17.760 oh i thought i did sorry i apologize for that i thought it was on the daily mail is it the daily

00:43:25.760 oh yeah here we go here it is andy bumham said that men who identify as women should be able

00:43:33.140 to use female toilets and only a small minority object he claimed really is that right

00:43:41.520 let's hear from the man himself let's hear it from uh the horse's mouth you turn it up harry

00:43:47.760 group of people who do feel that toilets should be safe space only for women and you know there

00:43:57.060 shouldn't be anyone who was biologically a male shouldn't be allowed in that in that space now

00:44:01.440 i personally think that's a majority view i think it's a minority view quite small minority view

00:44:06.600 And I don't want to see clash, as I have seen in the last year, clashes between people standing up for trans rights and people supposedly standing up for women's rights.

00:44:16.520 Don't start culture wars.

00:44:18.720 Oh, it's about culture wars. 1.00

00:44:21.100 Oh, anyone that wants women's spaces like toilets and changing rooms to be safe for women, they're just starting culture wars. 1.00

00:44:28.600 They're just anti-trans. 1.00

00:44:30.620 They're just crazy anti-trans people. 0.99

00:44:36.600 You're talking a tiny, tiny, tiny number of people. 0.99

00:44:55.740 No, it's not.

00:44:56.920 No, it's not, though. 0.93

00:44:57.820 Bumham there

00:45:02.860 Reckons that 0.98

00:45:04.560 Men 0.98

00:45:05.960 Transvestites that just wear women's clothes 1.00

00:45:08.860 For their own sexual kicks 1.00

00:45:10.220 But then go into women's changing rooms and toilets 1.00

00:45:12.740 And do something bad 1.00

00:45:14.620 That's a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny

00:45:16.940 Number of people

00:45:17.560 It's not though, is it really?

00:45:19.460 There's loads and loads of examples of it

00:45:21.060 Loads

00:45:22.200 Okay

00:45:26.520 i thought i thought we'd been through all of this

00:45:29.400 there you go vote for andy burnham if you're not in favor of women's safety

00:45:36.920 it's pretty straightforward it's pretty much as simple as that

00:45:39.860 because because he's a subversive globalist wef puppet 0.62

00:45:48.160 Kinko

00:45:50.960 Shill 1.00

00:45:53.320 A disgusting idiot man 1.00

00:45:55.580 Alright, there are the front pages 1.00

00:45:57.260 There are the front pages

00:45:59.680 Oh, it's already quarter two

00:46:00.460 I thought I'd look down, it'd be half past

00:46:03.580 Alright, it's just gone quarter two

00:46:05.440 We got a poll, Harry

00:46:07.020 We do a poll every day here on

00:46:09.720 Beau's Breakfast Club

00:46:10.420 What is it?

00:46:17.320 Morning

00:46:17.760 Morning

00:46:18.680 You alright

00:46:20.120 Breakfast with Beau

00:46:22.520 Get one of these mugs

00:46:25.140 I think we flogged them for like $14.99

00:46:28.600 We don't set that price particularly

00:46:31.980 We make a tiny

00:46:33.000 I don't know if we make any real profit on it

00:46:35.240 Probably a tiny bit

00:46:37.380 So much

00:46:39.820 Because you want one of these though

00:46:40.680 You can get them

00:46:41.280 Or one of them

00:46:42.120 On those ones

00:46:45.400 You can get them

00:46:47.760 I'm not very good at it, am I? I'm not a salesman. I can do you a history and or politics rant. I'm not a born salesman though.

00:47:08.260 Alright, let's have a look at our poll

00:47:12.180 What did we ask?

00:47:12.900 We asked you guys

00:47:13.660 Oh, we just asked you

00:47:15.240 Are you in favour of price controls?

00:47:17.860 Over a thousand votes there

00:47:19.020 85% of you say no

00:47:21.380 My people, my band of brothers and sisters

00:47:26.380 The glorious band, the chosen few

00:47:27.560 You know what you're talking about

00:47:28.580 That 15% of you who said yes

00:47:31.380 Bugger off 0.86

00:47:35.360 Get out

00:47:38.260 You're not welcome. This isn't the show for you. I don't mean that. I don't mean that. Don't go.

00:47:44.140 I was only joking. That was a joke. Come on. Come on. I still love you. We can make this work. Don't go.

00:47:53.300 85% of you know that the correct answer to that is no.

00:48:02.580 It never works. I'm choosing to believe that 15% is trolling me.

00:48:07.080 i'm going to choose to believe that that's the only way i can go on with my day by choosing to

00:48:12.920 believe that all right all right should we have a look at some of the other stories today

00:48:16.800 let's have a look at the websites ye olde websites or actually should we check in with

00:48:22.240 the price of oil the price of crude on the open market west texas 103 dollars a barrel brent 110

00:48:28.740 It's been hovering around that all week

00:48:30.740 Expensive

00:48:34.600 But not anywhere near real

00:48:37.180 All time high expensive

00:48:38.620 Well the prices are down

00:48:41.380 Slightly at the moment in real time

00:48:42.700 But 110 for a barrel of crude

00:48:45.540 That is a lot

00:48:46.160 A barrel of Brent

00:48:47.020 That is a lot

00:48:48.280 No way to deny that

00:48:50.140 I'm not denying that

00:48:51.320 But

00:48:53.080 Once again

00:48:54.700 If you'd ask me in January this year

00:48:56.380 that israel and the us are going to go to war with iran that lasts months

00:49:01.300 a few months into that what would the price of brent be i would say maybe an all-time higher

00:49:08.520 maybe astronomically higher 200 a barrel i don't know so

00:49:14.060 as i say all the time does that translate into how much you're actually paying at the pump

00:49:20.560 not really not directly is it all right what else have we got oh uk loosens uh russian oil

00:49:29.660 sanctions as fuel prices rise yeah haven't i said it a while ago whenever you say anything that's

00:49:36.580 even remotely positive about russia or putin you get accused of being here i know these have been

00:49:43.520 accused of actually literally being in the pay of the kremlin absolutely insanely upset just because

00:49:49.760 poor school on ukraine and zelensky we must be in the pay of the kremlin

00:49:57.280 i've said before i've always thought it's crazy to put sanctions on natural resource things on russia

00:50:06.080 on russia they're hugely resource rich right it's the biggest country in the world just

00:50:12.240 geographically speaking right they've effectively got endless resources in everything

00:50:17.680 we're going to sanction them tiny little resource poor island

00:50:23.800 how does that make any sense well now just because of the market just because of prices

00:50:29.700 just because of reality we have to loosen some of those sanctions yeah yeah

00:50:37.480 it's like you give pocket money to a millionaire and you say we're going to

00:50:46.240 stop giving you pocket money now and the millionaires like uh okay i'm vastly richer than you

00:50:54.120 though so okay i'll be all right do what you gotta do bro okay all right again uh putin's in china

00:51:03.680 isn't he meeting with qi and that they're um and that their friendship is an unprecedentedly high

00:51:09.280 level interesting wonder if it really really is may well be all right um

00:51:21.760 okay what was what else do we have we had a story or two on the mail should we just move on oh there's

00:51:32.640 one story in the sun this is just a i know it's a bit of a one-off sort of event that gives you an

00:51:38.400 idea hunted down chilling moment thugs chase down and kill dad with baseball bats and hockey sticks

00:51:45.680 in brutal park attack this is in britain this is in like the midlands or up north somewhere

00:51:50.500 west midlands or something rather right the victim Seamus Hussain dad 39 here he is

00:52:01.280 Seamus Hussain odd that his first name is Seamus isn't it

00:52:08.400 Seamus Hussain was beaten to death

00:52:10.800 You might think, oh that's sort of big news

00:52:13.700 Why isn't that front page, you know

00:52:15.320 Why aren't they going on and on and on about it 0.80

00:52:17.120 It was some sort of terrible racist Islamophobic 0.74

00:52:19.620 Terrible, terrible incident 0.69

00:52:21.700 And all the communities feel unsafe now

00:52:23.960 Etc, etc, etc

00:52:25.260 Oh, because the people who did it

00:52:27.780 Are called Saklane Ali

00:52:29.860 Bassett Ali

00:52:31.200 Saqib Ali Khan

00:52:33.720 And Zezshan Khan

00:52:36.980 Oh, and Asim Akram

00:52:42.480 And Faizan Akram

00:52:45.080 So it's just an and finally story

00:52:47.620 So it's just a

00:52:48.520 So only the sun goes with it

00:52:50.360 And it's like quite a long way down their website

00:52:52.000 It's like, oh, and that

00:52:53.460 Alright

00:52:56.780 Alright

00:52:58.100 That's how society now

00:53:00.240 And that's how the corporate mainstream media

00:53:01.700 Chooses to

00:53:02.720 Deal with it

00:53:06.980 all right 0.98

00:53:08.980 meanwhile two white teenagers do a mosque shooting in san diego on the other side of

00:53:16.220 the world literally and the london metropolitan police released a statement about how terrible

00:53:21.900 it is and how um how muslim communities in britain in london don't feel safe now

00:53:29.380 all right all right

00:53:33.660 to have a look at on this day in history down through the centuries what happened on this day

00:53:40.100 of note the 20th of may let's have a quick look i like doing this section you like doing this

00:53:44.220 section okay on this day in 526 ad possible date of antioch earthquake in the byzantine empire

00:53:51.040 which kills 200 000 people wasn't this on this website the other day

00:53:54.580 saying that was the day so we're not sure in other words we're not sure the exact day

00:53:59.320 I mean, in the 6th century

00:54:01.940 As we're getting towards the Dark Ages, aren't we?

00:54:04.240 Not so much in the Byzantine Empire

00:54:05.760 But nonetheless, I guess scholars and historians

00:54:07.980 Aren't sure of the exact day

00:54:09.260 On this day in 1498

00:54:12.280 Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama

00:54:14.100 One of the all-time greats

00:54:15.660 Arrives in Calicut, India

00:54:17.260 Becoming the first European to reach India by a sea

00:54:19.800 On my history theme show, Behind the Paywall

00:54:27.100 loadseeds.com considering sign up for as little as five pound a month bonus team membership

00:54:30.380 hundreds of hours of history themed content with yours truly i do i've got a really long form of

00:54:35.420 content all about magellan but in that especially in the early episode earlier episodes of that

00:54:40.480 i talk all about earlier voyages that magellan built upon and one of the big ones one of the

00:54:46.500 main ones was vasco de gama someone like magellan would look at the voyages of christopher columbus

00:54:53.200 Or Vasco da Gama

00:54:54.560 And see what they did wrong

00:54:56.360 Or right

00:54:57.360 Yeah

00:54:59.340 I'm surprised Vasco da Gama isn't a much, much more famous

00:55:03.360 Name

00:55:04.660 Famous person

00:55:05.620 Yeah, one of the all-time great explorers

00:55:09.760 Okay

00:55:11.300 On this day in 1609

00:55:12.540 William Shakespeare's sonnets are first published in London

00:55:14.700 Perhaps illicitly by publisher Thomas Thilp

00:55:17.200 Harry

00:55:23.200 I think I've got a long-form bit of content all about the life of William Shakespeare.

00:55:29.560 Like an hour and a half or more, is it?

00:55:31.840 Let's talk about William Shakespeare.

00:55:33.900 What we do and don't know for sure about William Shakespeare.

00:55:38.620 Oh yeah, it's there.

00:55:40.220 It's all there.

00:55:42.000 On this day in 1862, US President Abraham Lincoln signs into law the Homestead Act to

00:55:47.440 provide cheap land and the settlement of the American West.

00:55:50.460 That's interesting

00:55:53.640 Do you think on

00:55:54.840 Oh, the other one

00:55:58.140 There you go

00:55:58.580 On

00:55:59.100 On History Bro

00:56:02.640 My own channel

00:56:03.560 Got all sorts of content

00:56:06.180 About Abraham Lincoln

00:56:07.080 And the American Civil War

00:56:08.120 How was it?

00:56:11.080 Yep

00:56:11.300 It's all there

00:56:14.180 It's interesting

00:56:14.560 It's still in

00:56:15.180 It's like

00:56:15.700 During the Civil War

00:56:17.000 It's during the Civil War

00:56:20.460 it's interesting to note that the north the union won that war in a way great all-time great

00:56:30.940 historian shelby foot said they won it with one arm tied behind their back by the end of the war

00:56:37.340 they didn't need conscripts anymore they had more men than they had more material

00:56:40.940 more cannon and cannibal than they could possibly need

00:56:44.060 you know they're still doing like something like the homestead act in the middle of the war

00:56:51.340 it wasn't like a total war for the union

00:56:55.560 Shelby Foote said

00:56:59.440 if the south had won a lot more victories because the south did do really really well

00:57:04.980 on the battlefield punching way above their weight on the battlefield

00:57:09.620 did fantastically really in battles otherwise they would have lost the war much much quicker

00:57:16.660 and if it said if they'd won even more the union would just take that other arm out

00:57:21.300 from behind its back go on to a total some sort of total war footing

00:57:28.020 shelby foot says the south could never have won that war really

00:57:31.140 Probably correct 1.00

00:57:35.380 But the whole south

00:57:38.560 Its economy was not even the size of just New York State

00:57:41.800 There's an incredible photo

00:57:47.180 Nine kings in one room

00:57:49.040 Look, there's the king

00:57:50.660 Of England, King George 0.87

00:57:52.680 There's the Tsar 0.89

00:57:53.800 On this day in 1910 0.71

00:57:56.680 Funeral of Britain's king

00:57:58.820 Edward VII, Dirty Bertie 0.99

00:58:00.880 Queen Elizabeth's son

00:58:02.760 Is held in

00:58:04.320 Queen Elizabeth

00:58:05.060 Queen Victoria's son

00:58:06.020 Is held in Westminster Abbey

00:58:08.140 Attended by one of the largest assemblies of European royalty

00:58:11.220 Yeah the book

00:58:12.140 The Guns of August

00:58:13.120 Classic book about World War I

00:58:14.700 The beginning of World War I

00:58:15.700 The Guns of August 0.57

00:58:16.580 Classic

00:58:17.980 That starts

00:58:19.520 Basically sort of starts by

00:58:20.900 Describing that

00:58:22.860 Like the

00:58:24.360 The world before 1914

00:58:26.260 Like the world before

00:58:30.760 world war one and the world after was a different world in all sorts of ways and that this the

00:58:37.000 funeral of dirty bertie in 1910 was one of the last times when all the great monarchies of europe

00:58:48.280 came together in something like being amicable with each other

00:58:54.360 fascinating photo there you go all right on this day 1927 at 7 40 a.m charles limberg takes off

00:59:03.440 from new york to cross the atlantic to paris aboard the spirit of st louis in the first solo

00:59:08.860 non-stop transatlantic flat that was limberg interesting yeah 1927 very brave there's no

00:59:18.140 I guarantee that plane would succeed in doing it

00:59:22.480 There you go

00:59:23.700 On this day, also in 1927

00:59:25.860 The same day then, it would have been

00:59:27.220 The Treaty of Jeddah is signed between the United Kingdom

00:59:30.600 And Ibn Saud, Ibn al-Saud

00:59:32.740 Recognising the independence of the Kingdom of Hijaz and Nejj

00:59:37.120 The forerunner of Saudi Arabia

00:59:39.740 Very interesting that the House of Saud wasn't necessarily

00:59:43.440 Definitely always going to control Saudi Arabia

00:59:46.600 In fact, during World War I 1.00

00:59:49.460 It looked like the king of the Hejaz

00:59:52.280 Hussein, King Hussein

00:59:55.220 King Ali Hussein

00:59:56.220 And his children

00:59:58.000 They would probably, after World War I

01:00:00.820 After the Ottoman Empire collapsed 0.83

01:00:02.380 And the Arabian Peninsula could sort of

01:00:05.340 Control itself 0.99

01:00:07.220 But probably 1.00

01:00:08.780 Probably the House of Hussein 1.00

01:00:12.480 Would rule that whole 0.98

01:00:16.600 But then after World War I

01:00:19.280 They went to war with each other

01:00:22.660 There's four main warlords in Saudi Arabia at that point

01:00:25.320 Ibn Saud, Ibn al-Saud is just one of them 0.99

01:00:27.880 He ends up winning 0.55

01:00:28.780 He just ends up winning

01:00:29.820 And so at that point the reality is

01:00:32.960 He's basically the winning warlord in Saudi Arabia

01:00:36.140 So we recognise him as such

01:00:37.900 Still got the same family

01:00:40.420 The same house ruling

01:00:42.420 What then became Saudi Arabia

01:00:44.700 To this day

01:00:46.200 i think i took all about some of that in fantastic detail

01:00:50.660 oh yeah it's all there got long form content loads actually quite a lot in conversation with

01:00:59.520 luca all about lawrence of arabia te lawrence and the world war one in the east which sets all that

01:01:08.720 up i think it was a three or even four part series four five six hours worth of content

01:01:15.000 talking about that in loads of detail it was five pound a month if you're interested all right and

01:01:20.520 on this day in 1990 hubble space telescope sends its first photographs from space brilliant love

01:01:26.040 the hubble space telescope absolutely brilliant had to be fixed didn't it they needed to put

01:01:31.800 glasses on it some of its mirrors or lenses were slightly warped it's in low earth orbit right not

01:01:38.840 like james webb which is way out in space it's in low earth orbit so they could send up sort of a

01:01:43.800 a repair mission and they did it but the image is coming back from Hubble to this day still

01:01:50.380 operating to say isn't it Hubble um some of the greatest things from the greatest images

01:01:56.180 humanity has ever captured only James Webb surpasses it Hubble brilliant we'll go down

01:02:02.600 history as one of the greatest among the greatest achievements of humanity to this point I think

01:02:06.440 all right should we have a look at our rumble rants and super chats

01:02:38.840 You say

01:02:40.620 Today in 325 AD

01:02:42.420 The first ecumenical council

01:02:44.860 Met in Nicaea

01:02:46.060 Having been

01:02:47.900 Redirected from Ankara

01:02:49.960 Right, so that's the first council of Nicaea

01:02:52.880 Fantastically pivotal

01:02:54.400 One of the most pivotal meetings of men

01:02:56.100 Maybe ever

01:02:57.400 First council of Nicaea

01:02:59.140 Anybody?

01:03:01.780 During the age of Constantine

01:03:03.280 Constantine I, Constantine the Great

01:03:05.180 The early Christian period 0.93

01:03:08.280 Started all of this 0.91

01:03:10.600 By the way, I know this sort of stuff inside out

01:03:12.220 The church was in a bit of a hot mess at that point

01:03:16.800 They hadn't decided on doctrine properly really

01:03:21.180 They hadn't decided on loads and loads of liturgical and doctrinal things

01:03:25.140 It was causing problems for Constantine

01:03:28.100 Different bishops from around the place

01:03:31.700 Whether it's Antioch or Alexandria

01:03:34.200 Had different ideas about what the church was

01:03:36.780 About who Jesus was

01:03:38.840 They had loads of different ideas about when Easter should be

01:03:41.740 Is Jesus just a man, a human

01:03:46.840 Or was he a human with divine qualities

01:03:50.500 Or was he God

01:03:52.160 They hadn't decided, they hadn't decided any of that

01:03:55.620 And they was arguing amongst themselves

01:03:59.700 Because the time was staring down the barrel of a full-blown schism 0.96

01:04:02.680 The Aryan controversies, there's loads there

01:04:05.560 Read Edward Gibbon if you're interested or listen to it on audiobook

01:04:18.240 They tried to hammer a lot of it out

01:04:20.740 At the First Council of Nicaea

01:04:22.480 Absolutely pivotal thing

01:04:34.520 Global church history 0.99

01:04:36.280 Alright

01:04:40.560 The Picts stopped the Anglo-Saxon expansion

01:04:43.340 At Dunn and Nechtain

01:04:45.260 That's interesting

01:04:46.680 I'm not actually aware of that particular battle

01:04:48.880 But I'm aware of that

01:04:50.880 You know in the 7th century

01:04:52.460 The Anglo-Saxons failed to sort of

01:04:55.400 Take all of Scotland 0.99

01:04:56.440 Picts are sort of 0.98

01:04:58.840 Scotland aren't they? Northern Scotland

01:06:20.500 Fan myself I must say

01:06:22.600 Global Church History again says

01:06:24.080 Do you think Tiberius's

01:06:26.180 19 AD price ceiling

01:06:28.020 for wheat and nero 64 ad price ceilings were successful because they were very temporary

01:06:34.240 and compensated farmers and traders uh well according to the ancient accounts they they

01:06:39.920 weren't they weren't successful really any price cap or a ceiling or floor

01:06:48.420 maybe if it's extremely temporary

01:06:52.260 it just destroys the producers that's all it does really

01:06:58.020 or forces them to sell it on the black market tiberius is one i'm pretty sure but neither of

01:07:04.140 those were successful ultimately you have to backtrack on it at some point okay tom rat 247

01:07:13.300 says it's in quotation commons it says it would be a shame if we had to impose price controls

01:07:20.320 End quote

01:07:21.720 And then you say

01:07:22.720 Phraseology during the heavy lifting

01:07:25.980 Of the managerialist state

01:07:28.280 Since the Blair years

01:07:30.540 That would just be a

01:07:34.440 Okay

01:07:35.180 Yeah

01:07:38.420 It would be a shame if we had to

01:07:41.040 Impose price controls

01:07:42.760 Yeah right

01:07:43.260 Like gangsters

01:07:46.200 Pay up otherwise it would be a shame

01:07:47.980 If your house burnt down

01:07:50.320 JC Warlock says

01:07:55.120 Indeed Bo and Anglo-Saxons went north 0.88

01:08:15.760 Of course, yeah

01:08:16.800 Not just the pen dragons

01:08:19.240 Okay, let's go over to the YouTube. YouTube chats. Of course, there's quite a lot. There's loads, in fact.

01:08:27.500 I'll have to try and whip through them a bit.

01:08:30.160 Because I've got a record today. I've got a record by Epox, part 2 of Henry VIII.

01:08:33.320 Come out this Sunday.

01:08:35.720 Five pound a month.

01:08:37.480 Okay.

01:08:56.100 that bo you magnificent man if restore get into power is it possible to bring back capital 0.93

01:09:02.240 punishment for politicians whom committed treason well i don't know about that exactly

01:09:07.100 but I do know I'm pretty sure I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Rupert has said and and

01:09:15.160 certainly certainly lots of people around Rupert are pro-death penalty I am for certain crimes

01:09:21.180 where it's shown beyond a doubt like DNA evidence where it's billions to one that it's not a correct

01:09:26.820 conviction for certain crimes I'm pro-death penalty someone like that Axel Rudick-Protana

01:09:34.760 A dude, whatever his name is

01:09:36.540 Someone like that

01:09:37.740 Someone like Ian Huntley

01:09:39.020 Yeah

01:09:39.380 He forfeited your right to life

01:09:45.380 In my opinion

01:09:46.820 Treason, well it's the historic

01:09:51.940 Punishment for treason isn't it

01:09:53.960 A death sentence

01:09:56.120 But

01:09:59.860 We'll see

01:10:02.420 Abolishing the death penalty

01:13:22.340 Communists. Nearly always, reality shows them up for the retards that they are. Shining Wit says, 0.99

01:13:38.260 Oh, great show. Cheers. Question. How would our history have changed if the twins hadn't

01:13:45.660 disappeared in the Tower of London well which we were inside a different timeline the Battle of

01:13:52.700 Bosworth Field almost certainly wouldn't have happened we wouldn't have had the Tudors probably

01:13:55.840 if if Richard III had just been a nice kindly uncle and just been a good steward to his nephew

01:14:02.260 Edward V and he grew up that little boy the 12 year old that disappeared in the Tower Edward V

01:14:08.260 if he'd grown up and been king who knows what he would have done differently but we just would

01:14:12.980 have been on a completely different timeline as i say there almost certainly wouldn't have been

01:14:16.720 battle of bosworth and then no tudor dynasty and on it would have been very different i think

01:14:25.680 there's no other way to say it would have been very very different yeah all right chaos is fun 1.00

01:14:32.620 49 says socialism should be treated as a mental illness and removed from society being too stupid 1.00

01:14:40.640 To realise that you're not smart 1.00

01:14:43.060 In any way, shape or form

01:14:44.560 To be a socialist

01:14:48.760 And you look back at history

01:14:51.160 Look back at what has happened in history

01:14:55.620 Under socialism and communism

01:14:58.060 And to still go for it

01:15:00.420 Still believe it

01:15:01.180 Still champion it

01:15:02.480 Try and make the argument that real socialism

01:15:05.360 Has never been tried

01:15:06.220 All that nonsense

01:15:07.400 You've got to be mad 0.57

01:15:10.960 You've got to be living in denial

01:15:12.220 You really do

01:15:13.560 You have to be

01:15:16.780 Consumed by the ideology

01:15:18.780 To try and make that work

01:15:20.600 In your mind

01:15:21.140 To make it make sense 1.00

01:15:22.100 Disgusting 0.98

01:15:25.020 It really is 0.98

01:15:26.200 Don't worry about all the famines

01:15:28.920 And human misery it causes

01:15:29.900 Every single time

01:15:30.600 Don't worry about that

01:15:31.220 We'll get it right this time

01:15:33.120 The fundamental concepts of it

01:15:35.600 Are correct

01:15:36.140 No they're not

01:15:36.900 no they're not okay peach 450h says five months says five months and the uk will be economically

01:15:46.900 will economically look like south africa the bonds are at 5.68 percent last i saw i think

01:15:54.500 we got more than five months but um maybe five years or 15 years or 50 years yeah i think we

01:16:02.080 got more than five months but your overall point maybe we may well be right on the money

01:16:08.380 price controls are not a good idea they're really really badly not so dupes 149 says

01:16:19.220 the newspaper is using the propaganda terms of quantitative easing for inflation and inflation

01:16:25.860 for price increases due to government inflation and then like a emoji doing that yeah i know i

01:16:34.360 know they couch things in certain terms to make it seem not as crazy and backward and and

01:16:41.040 counterproductive as they really are yeah shona again says rather rather live in a ditch than

01:20:53.540 huge larper if that's written there steam page is crazy all right so juke 149 says may the 20th

01:21:02.420 1941 operation merker the airborne assault on crepe by the german 7th airborne division

01:21:08.340 yeah fascinating interesting i've got a whole bunch of content about operation market garden

01:21:12.340 which is the allied airborne invasion of the southern central part of holland

01:21:18.120 but in that at least a bit multi-part series in conversation with josh firm in the old studio

01:21:24.480 hours and hours for me talking about market garden a bridge too far and in that i talk a

01:21:29.900 little bit about earlier airborne attempts and yeah the german one on crete was is a famous

01:21:35.200 classic one right it was 0.91

01:21:41.200 if memory serves was that one that does that one of the germans was a complete disaster

01:21:45.600 but some of them were brilliant successes i can't remember if crete was a disaster or not i think 0.93

01:21:51.200 it i think it might be a disaster and the germans were like let's not do that anymore everything

01:21:55.920 has to be just perfect for for that to work we now realize or maybe it was one of the ones that

01:22:03.680 that was a blinding success far more successful than they could have ever dreamed i can't remember

01:22:07.340 now the germans airborne in crete anyway all right interesting though thanks for sending that in

01:22:13.060 great stuff ac1d helm says price controls those you put price controls those other fails weren't

01:22:23.920 real socialism right yeah that's the argument someone like navara media would make isn't it

01:22:31.320 The capitalists always ruined the socialist experiment

01:22:35.140 So it's never been tried properly

01:22:36.760 If the Soviet Union and Maoist era China

01:22:40.980 Isn't a solid attempt at socialism

01:22:46.280 Then I don't know what is

01:22:48.460 They had all the resources that they could need

01:22:53.100 Still ended in abject failure, didn't it? 0.91

01:24:10.860 Socialism keeps trying.

01:24:12.580 Okay, I see what you mean.

01:24:13.500 Oh, I see what you mean.

01:24:14.700 I get it, sorry. 0.99

01:24:18.680 Zsa Zsa just couldn't stop trying to get married 1.00

01:24:20.880 and it always failed. 0.55

01:24:22.660 like socialism constantly trying the same thing over and over again

01:24:26.300 always doomed to fail sorry i understand that i get it all right

01:24:30.000 and the last one from ac1d helm again says

01:24:33.060 says save so much money mp wages being mean

01:24:37.780 of their area

01:24:39.260 you know some punctuation

01:24:43.280 save so much money mp's wages being mean of their area right okay so

01:24:50.460 whatever the average wage is in your constituency perhaps that's what you're saying that's what you

01:24:55.400 mean that's what you should get paid as an mp not an insane idea do you think mps are paid

01:25:03.000 more than they really should be often yeah all right that was the last uh super chat on youtube

01:25:12.060 but we've actually had a few more rumble rents come in so maybe i should read those why not

01:25:16.920 Let's see

01:25:19.780 Fictagius says

01:25:21.640 I think Kieran Wes

01:25:23.060 Have set up

01:25:23.740 Set up a trap

01:25:24.740 For Burnham

01:25:25.320 Quite possibly

01:25:26.120 Not sure I'm prepared

01:25:27.140 To give them enough credit

01:25:28.100 That it was like

01:25:28.740 A deliberate

01:25:29.240 4D chess trap

01:25:30.320 But possibly

01:25:30.860 That is the case

01:25:31.700 Then you say

01:25:32.720 They don't want him to run

01:25:34.440 So set him up to lose

01:25:36.200 And take him out

01:25:37.700 For the PM running

01:25:39.420 Yeah

01:25:39.780 It could well be

01:25:41.620 Was that the 15

01:25:44.020 They spent in number 10

01:25:45.160 The other day

01:25:46.920 was that the 15 they spent in number 10 the other day i don't know what you mean by that but

01:25:51.180 the first bit it could well be as i said i think yesterday or monday they looked at the map and

01:25:56.940 there's like if josh simon stepped down andy burnham would immediately jump on that and he'd

01:26:03.100 probably lose maybe they did do that maybe that was a very deliberate calculation by them

01:26:06.860 okay two more both from jc warlock said um this one thing can buy anything but it's but

01:26:16.840 itself cannot be bought what is it oh is that a riddle riddle me this bad man this one thing

01:26:24.040 can buy anything but itself cannot be bought i don't know i'm not that great at riddles

01:26:27.100 that's probably like a child's play one any 11 year old who's into riddles just knows that i

01:26:32.100 haven't got i haven't got time to think about it i'm on it i can't really have dead time while i

01:26:35.280 just sit there thinking about it for a minute so sorry about that uh and the next one jc warlock

01:26:40.520 says oh communism works on paper only there's one sheet and it's covered in tipex right okay funny

01:26:49.900 okay two more super chats have come in why not read them out

01:26:55.100 for all 231 says uh does burnham not remember that scottish case of a woman being sent to a

01:27:03.700 woman's prison right yeah do you remember that how that works out for the women in that prison

01:27:09.960 how can he think there's a very small minority opposed to it i know it's just it's just i know

01:27:14.760 i think most women and most reasonable men who don't want women to be in danger

01:27:20.660 don't like the idea of transvestites going into women's toilets and um changing rooms that's not

01:27:27.680 a tiny minority is it that's not a minority of you that'll be most people i mean most people 0.60

01:27:32.100 Including

01:27:35.200 The Supreme Court

01:27:36.900 Okay, and the very last one

01:27:39.260 I'll have to end it there, even if more come in
