The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters

00:00:00.000 I hope you are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fighting fit raring to go for the day ahead

00:00:21.120 it hasn't even ticked past 8 a.m. on my clock it's 7.59 in the a.m. Greenwich meantime

00:00:30.000 on wednesday the 25th of february in the year of our lord 2026 as always i'm joined by my producer

00:00:34.220 little harry who isn't all that little how are you good sir good great and uh and you are the

00:00:41.400 glorious band the chosen few my band of brothers and sisters thank you for joining me with you it

00:00:46.700 really isn't a thing should we just get straight into it then without any further ado a little bit

00:00:50.620 of a slow news day probably one of the slowest news days i've had so far on breakfast bow um although

00:00:56.540 not crazily slow it's not like we're really scraping the bottom of the bottom of the the

00:01:01.720 slop barrel for anything of interest but there's just not any sort of crazy new things it's a bit

00:01:06.480 of a bit of a mandy day again a little bit but let's get into it let's see what the corporate

00:01:11.660 mainstream media is uh trying to pump directly into your eyeballs and brain box make you think

00:01:17.320 is important or isn't important what are they lying to you by omission about this morning

00:01:21.140 all right fleet street the papers the front page of the papers they say u.s shuns war anniversary

00:01:26.740 and prince of darkness that's that zelensky in ukraine had sort of a war memorial

00:01:33.160 ceremony thing for the four year anniversary of the war and the u.s didn't turn up quite a few world

00:01:40.800 leaders went but trump didn't or sent anyone else to go like rubia or something that's that

00:01:46.120 and prince of darkness just again a reference to mandy it's another mandy day kind of half mostly

00:01:53.540 all right there was the state of the union

00:01:56.800 you know where the pres does a big speech to congress and everyone

00:02:03.720 sets out their sort of supposed to kind of usually sort of sets out their legislative program

00:02:11.460 going forward but it's also just a bit of a chance to boast and pick yourself up pick up your

00:02:18.040 administration and things different presidents use it a bit differently actually it's changed over

00:02:22.500 the uh i was gonna say years changed over the centuries really exactly what it's used for but

00:02:29.400 anyway there was just we had one so there's a bit of detail about that that's probably the biggest

00:02:33.180 thing in the news as far as i'm concerned is that we had the state of the union yesterday

00:02:36.020 all right the financial times there you go there's there's the the kiev kiev's candles

00:02:41.640 u.s shuns war anniversary there's zelensky there's the uh vanderlion woman and a whole bunch of other

00:02:48.020 world leaders but no trump i don't think i'm pretty sure um sir queer starlin didn't go 0.82

00:02:56.540 because he's it you'll be in um prime minister's questions today that'll be interesting won't it

00:03:03.720 the first time he's they'll be able to ask questions to him since the mandy and andy arrest

00:03:09.100 so watch pm's queues today it could be a good one probably will be a good one

00:03:15.580 all right as the financial times they talk about stocks and things but we won't go into that it's a

00:03:21.460 bit bit dry isn't it most people out there they haven't got any money to play with to invest and if

00:03:27.520 your job isn't actually in banking or asset management or something doesn't really affect you does it

00:03:33.420 all right the daily star what slop have we got here okay mps to release andy files prince of

00:03:41.620 darkness there you go andy arrest over flight risk so these are the big data points is that um

00:03:47.540 mandy came out not himself through his lawyers said that actually released some sort of statement for

00:03:53.940 the first time and it was just really to say not to admit any guilt or anything like that but

00:03:58.420 just to say that the apparently the reason why the cops swooped on him yesterday in the afternoon

00:04:04.480 was because because that they the cops feared that he was a flight risk

00:04:09.380 they thought he would just flee the country basically i mean where he'd go who knows

00:04:17.320 tel aviv

00:04:20.700 jerusalem the fifth baron rothschild's yacht i don't know where would he go but he said

00:04:34.780 he said that's ridiculous i would never flee i'm not going to flee that way it was like a baseless

00:04:41.200 as far as the cops are concerned it was a baseless fear that's what that's what mandy has said

00:04:46.280 so that's one of the biggest data points this morning about mandy it's not a massive thing is

00:04:51.840 it mps and so yesterday in the house of commons um the various mps bryant that bryant fella

00:04:57.900 sort of hit out at andy and mandy a bit um particularly andy and said that they would

00:05:05.840 release all the files number 10 i've got all sorts of files um and they said they will completely

00:05:11.960 cooperate with the police good i mean there should be no question about that of course

00:05:14.840 of course anyway they confirmed that they actually definitely would

00:05:18.300 so that's something andy and mandy but particularly andy at this stage is really getting thrown under

00:05:24.660 the bus isn't he i'm here for it not that he doesn't deserve it but he's right there he's really

00:05:29.860 getting thrown under the bus from every possible angle he's sort of the sacrificial lamb isn't he a bit

00:05:35.900 don't let it get to nathaniel rothschild guys guys keep talking about mandy and andy don't mention

00:05:45.640 the fifth baron rothschild yeah got it yeah don't say a word about him don't print a picture of him

00:05:49.940 don't print a picture of his yacht or anything

00:05:51.640 russell brand there he's in a bit of hot water isn't he old russ

00:05:59.740 he might go to prison for a long time he might not he might be might be found completely innocent

00:06:06.460 i don't know but he might go to prison for the rest of his life

00:06:09.620 he's in a bit of hot water i doubt he'll go to prison for the rest of his life if he's found guilty

00:06:16.300 but i don't know he's gone it's up on quite a lot of serious charges

00:06:19.240 say a couple of words about russell brand actually this is a little bit of a slow news day why not

00:06:25.580 i've met russell brand briefly a couple of times once in the street in covent garden

00:06:34.180 back when he used to work for mtv dance anyone remember this anyone know anything about anyone

00:06:40.080 any russell brand fans out there okay he used to used to be a presenter for mtv dance and he'd walk up

00:06:46.020 to people sometimes in clubs when they were high on drugs but sometimes just on the street

00:06:50.140 sometimes at a festival he'd walk up to them and he'd do that gish gash thing the thing he could do 0.97

00:06:55.280 where he talks really really fast really really fluently and lucidly really fast and the other

00:06:59.200 person like a normal person who's not even ready for it is like just just like a deer in headlights 0.90

00:07:04.400 doesn't get it doesn't understand and he's like bamboozling them making them look a little bit silly

00:07:08.760 making himself look a little bit silly it's funny it's funny it worked

00:07:11.280 and i see him doing that to someone in the street in covent garden one one day it was like 2003 or

00:07:19.220 something years ago and uh and i said to him oh you're mr fast as i walked past i was like oh

00:07:25.040 you're mr fast talker aren't you i think i said and uh because he's from the same neck of the woods

00:07:31.180 as me he's from like thorac or greys he's in essex it's near ish ish where i grew up near lakeside

00:07:36.520 i could get the bus to lakeside where i grew up romford anyway and he's like oh come over come

00:07:43.500 over and talk to me and i was i shouted back to him i didn't stop stop walking i was like no no

00:07:47.060 you'll make me look stupid um i briefly met him another time in hmv in oxford street when he was

00:07:53.040 signing some dvds and i just went up to him and i said something about west ham because he's a west 0.99

00:07:56.520 ham supporter as well as am i i think i said something about west ham i can't even remember

00:08:01.100 briefly anyway i've always thought he was kind of funny like his stand-up is not bad not exactly

00:08:10.000 barrel laughs all the way through is it he's not sort of a real comedy genius is he but he's quite

00:08:14.520 funny i always thought he's quite funny and quite entertaining obviously don't agree with his politics

00:08:19.080 at all hardly at all but as a as a commentator it also wasn't bad right even though he's a bit of a

00:08:29.080 lefty and a christian now um loads of his other views were pretty good he had some good views on

00:08:37.260 like the world order and covid and all sorts of things so once again on his on the political side

00:08:44.800 of things i don't think he's brilliant and i follow everything he says and agrees with everything

00:08:48.880 he says but quite liked him that's where is it that's where i am in muscle brand i'm not a brand

00:08:54.200 hater and uh but i never thought he was absolutely amazing all right there you go so i'm not here to

00:09:04.220 to um you know dunk on him or gloat that he's in very deep water or i'm not here to stand for him

00:09:11.880 either he didn't do nothing our russ he's innocent i don't know if he's innocent he might not be i

00:09:17.660 don't know anyway he's up on loads of charges like three four different charges of like sexual assault

00:09:24.140 or even rape like uh two or three i think it's two or three different incidents two or three or four

00:09:31.840 different women i mean yeah if he if he's found guilty of all those things and if the judge is like

00:09:41.540 a a badass hanging judge who wants to throw the book at him he could get 20 years 30 years if he's found

00:09:48.980 guilty of all those things i don't know i don't know uh so okay over the next few months

00:09:56.800 um his trial will play out i imagine or the next few weeks at least by this summer he could just be

00:10:04.980 completely exonerated and back making his youtube videos or he could be in jail for a very very long

00:10:11.980 time here you go russell brand

00:10:14.800 i guess i'll reserve judgment until the court decides

00:10:21.560 all right well the guardian oh that bake-off hijabi woman 1.00

00:10:31.660 gross not interested in anything she's got to say about anything

00:10:37.860 on food faith and finding her voice don't care

00:10:41.020 all right the guardian oh we didn't do the disdain cam harry

00:10:44.200 all right manston hits out at police for arrest over claims of flight risk yeah they the police

00:10:54.720 thought he was imminently going to flee the country and he says that's absurd that was absurd

00:10:59.640 should have been arrested anyway eight years ago weeks ago even

00:11:05.400 all right zelensky appeals to trump to visit kiev

00:11:11.000 just don't i don't care about zelensky

00:11:18.500 care about the misery of the average innocent ukrainian person 1.00

00:11:22.520 i don't care about zelensky himself his political position

00:11:26.400 who is he really zelensky who is he deep like you know really

00:11:32.540 where'd he come from exactly how did he make that transition from just being a tv

00:11:40.840 comedy person an entertainer to the president of ukraine

00:11:46.640 have a look into it check it out for yourself do your own reading

00:11:51.200 nearly half of ill people avoid gps survey finds

00:11:55.800 yes it's sort of interesting muggly interesting for brits anyway that

00:11:58.680 often the service is so bad

00:12:02.600 that you just get on with it you don't even bother going to the

00:12:06.220 to the gp the general practitioner the normal doctor

00:12:09.080 you don't you just go to the pharmacy and just buy over-the-counter stuff and just get on with it

00:12:13.480 unless it's really bad something really bad

00:12:15.100 and if it's really really bad you go to hospital so

00:12:17.580 the thing is about a gp is it's potluck it's almost like potluck it depends where you live

00:12:22.400 if you live in a relatively rural area relatively low population density area

00:12:28.240 and your gp's a very good professional one

00:12:30.840 then your service may well be not bad at all

00:12:33.540 it may well be that you can ring up the gp or go to the gp and be seen that day no problem

00:12:39.840 the vast majority of the time

00:12:41.400 other places in cities where we've been packed in like sardines with millions of new arrivals 1.00

00:12:48.420 it's very difficult to get an appointment to see the gp at all you might have to wait days

00:12:55.560 well that's no good is it what's the point of that if you need to be seen

00:12:58.780 quickly that's no good you have to wait days

00:13:02.860 live in one of the cities where they've

00:13:10.660 they've just literally crammed in hundreds of thousands of new people into your city

00:13:16.460 if you live in one of the big cities and you need to see the gp

00:13:20.460 and they've got some crazy system now usually where you have to ring up at the stroke of 8am

00:13:25.460 and hope you're first in the queue the phone queue

00:13:29.120 to even get the possibility of a chance of hope of seeing the gp that day otherwise it's just no

00:13:34.520 and of course it's completely swamped the phone line the gp is completely swamped

00:13:44.520 largely by new arrival people

00:13:47.660 it will just come over from wherever

00:13:51.680 nigeria pakistan bangladesh iraq syria on or anywhere

00:13:55.960 and they're endlessly trying to use the nhs dentists gps etc etc

00:14:02.960 because they're here on a grift because they're here on a grift

00:14:06.560 so a normal person like your eyes properly properly ill

00:14:10.880 and you can't see the gp

00:14:13.300 brilliant

00:14:16.880 thanks for that blair thanks cameron thanks boris thanks may

00:14:20.920 thanks rishi

00:14:22.200 millions must go aim high vote low millions must go

00:14:29.620 so yeah it turns out just nearly half of ill people

00:14:34.660 avoid the gp

00:14:36.040 you're just like i feel really ill i might even have full blown

00:14:38.920 like flu or something

00:14:40.860 i won't be able to see the gp

00:14:43.740 because the system is broken

00:14:45.980 because we've been flooded by immigrants 1.00

00:14:48.320 legal

00:14:49.540 or otherwise

00:14:51.200 so i guess i'll just go to boots and just buy some over the counter

00:14:55.740 stuff

00:14:56.620 hope it works

00:14:58.360 great brilliant

00:15:01.420 brilliant

00:15:03.140 well done runny mead trust well done

00:15:05.980 well done

00:15:06.780 thanks for that thanks for this

00:15:09.300 it's great it works doesn't it works great doesn't it

00:15:12.440 the times the venerable times

00:15:16.300 a manderson flight risk fiction led to my arrest

00:15:20.760 says mandy

00:15:22.320 it's a fiction all along

00:15:23.860 was it the police

00:15:25.240 obviously don't know one or another but was it

00:15:27.480 the police just

00:15:28.920 it suddenly popped into their head one that day

00:15:31.600 they suddenly thought oh mandy might be a flight risk

00:15:34.300 let's go around the wrestling right now

00:15:35.440 came out of nowhere did it

00:15:36.760 that's completely baseless is it

00:15:38.960 that's what that's what mandy's saying

00:15:40.200 it's completely baseless

00:15:41.120 is it

00:15:42.420 why would it be

00:15:44.020 they literally dreamed it up out of nowhere

00:15:48.280 unlikely isn't it

00:15:51.040 i wouldn't flee police over epstein says peer

00:15:54.400 labor agrees to release andrew envoy files

00:15:57.860 okay good

00:15:58.500 blitz courts and juryless trials to clear case backlog

00:16:03.940 why again i said it yesterday and why have we got such a giant backlog

00:16:08.080 in the courts

00:16:09.780 again is it because of mass immigration

00:16:12.760 legal

00:16:13.920 or otherwise

00:16:15.560 from countries where the crime rate per capita is through the roof

00:16:19.680 so if you let hundreds of thousands of them in or millions of them in

00:16:23.180 then our crime rate spikes

00:16:27.220 and therefore

00:16:28.360 the backlog on courts spikes

00:16:30.780 i mean that is what it is isn't it

00:16:34.120 that is exactly what it is

00:16:35.600 but we can't talk about that

00:16:37.620 no lammy wouldn't talk about that

00:16:39.600 it's racist of me even to talk like that isn't it

00:16:45.920 racist

00:16:46.720 bigoted 1.00

00:16:48.660 i just can't stand people that are brown 1.00

00:16:51.840 no it's the reality 0.97

00:16:55.840 that's the reality of what's going on here

00:16:57.640 we're not allowed to notice reality

00:17:01.020 well the globalists would have it that way wouldn't they

00:17:03.160 you're not allowed to notice it much less say anything about it

00:17:06.360 how dare you say anything about it

00:17:09.960 bigger

00:17:10.660 not going to last forever 0.99

00:17:15.280 good luck with that globalists and leftists and communists and traitors

00:17:18.760 good luck with that whole angle that whole dynamic

00:17:20.900 because it's not going to last forever

00:17:22.000 keep playing that card while you can i suppose

00:17:24.680 it's not going to last forever

00:17:26.520 the daily telegraph the torograph

00:17:30.280 well there's a picture of imogen stubs there she used to be absolutely gorgeous 1.00

00:17:34.760 absolutely

00:17:35.240 lovely

00:17:37.280 it's looking a little bit

00:17:38.420 oh there well

00:17:40.040 that's what happens

00:17:41.540 that's what happens

00:17:43.120 i always think that's really unfair actually i just did it didn't i

00:17:46.340 but i think it's really unfair in

00:17:47.700 in the news or in anything

00:17:49.580 when they say look at this person who was beautiful in like 1982

00:17:53.200 and look at them now

00:17:54.380 they're all old and horrible now

00:17:56.180 it's like yeah 0.61

00:17:56.740 because they're in their 60s or something now

00:17:58.940 yeah that's what happens

00:17:59.940 when you get old you become less pretty less handsome

00:18:02.640 yeah that's what happens

00:18:03.900 look at this woman that was in top gun one 1.00

00:18:09.640 and now she's all old and haggard and fat 1.00

00:18:11.660 yeah i mean because she's old now 0.99

00:18:13.240 yeah

00:18:13.560 it's not really her fault you can't

00:18:17.420 it's very very rare that people get into their old age and still look good

00:18:21.560 it's very rare

00:18:23.220 as i mentioned top gun didn't i tom cruise is one of those

00:18:26.740 weird people that looks almost identical

00:18:29.640 i see the top gun remake the other day

00:18:31.620 he looks really similar

00:18:32.820 he looks pretty similar

00:18:35.120 to what he did in the 80s

00:18:37.100 i don't know is he getting those blood transfusions

00:18:39.420 is he getting those uh

00:18:40.920 those epstein blood boy transfusions

00:18:43.360 i don't know

00:18:44.360 a bit from me to actually

00:18:47.220 allege that

00:18:48.220 you've got to be very very lucky with your genes to still look

00:18:53.360 the g-e-n-e-s genes 1.00

00:18:55.700 you've got to be very lucky with those to still look good in your 50s and 60s and 70s

00:18:59.540 so

00:18:59.800 yeah imaging stubs

00:19:02.320 not so good anymore

00:19:03.800 all right

00:19:04.360 manderson held uh held to stop him fleeing britain

00:19:12.160 okay right we've done that there

00:19:13.340 council tax rises to fund 20 miles per hour zones

00:19:16.440 it's weird they did that in wales didn't they

00:19:20.340 where they wanted to make this or have i think in some parts of wales at least

00:19:23.200 made the speed limit

00:19:24.120 20 miles per hour

00:19:26.080 that's obviously really really slow isn't it

00:19:31.140 sort of weirdly slow

00:19:32.340 if you ever drive your car at 20 miles an hour it feels

00:19:35.200 painfully slow doesn't it

00:19:37.280 even at 30 miles an hour it seems pretty slow doesn't it

00:19:40.000 i mean i get it for built up areas or on the road directly where there's a school or primary school on that road

00:19:49.000 maybe have the speed limit super low and loads of speed bumps

00:19:52.780 other than that just normal roads at 20 miles per hour

00:19:55.720 20 miles per hour why

00:19:56.760 it's actually really inefficient for fuel as well

00:19:59.620 if they're worried about emissions there's more emissions if you drive at 20 mile an hour

00:20:05.140 in a petrol car

00:20:06.380 all right

00:20:07.020 uh what else have we got then let's have a look

00:20:09.500 the eye of paper

00:20:10.440 do they go with manderson or they go with andrew there you go

00:20:13.640 minister attacks rude and arrogant andrew in historic commons rebuke

00:20:17.660 mps uh vote to release files on royals on royals appointment

00:20:22.160 as trade envoyer but police block number 10 memos over manderson and epstein

00:20:27.680 okay interesting

00:20:29.020 i don't know how long that will last before they do another u-turn

00:20:33.620 so i can't stop doing u-turns isn't he he's the u-turn prime minister

00:20:38.700 on another dramatic day it's not not that dramatic is it on another dramatic day

00:20:45.180 centered on the epstein scandal don't mention nathaniel rostey or rothschild

00:20:49.300 uh trade minister chris bryant launches unprecedented political attack on andrew mountbatten windsor

00:20:56.920 he was uh he was quote a man on a constant self-aggrandizing and self-enriching hustle

00:21:04.780 sounds about right

00:21:06.520 sounds about right

00:21:08.160 manderson's lawyers claim his arrest was prompted by a quote baseless

00:21:12.500 quote belief that he was a flight risk and planning to leave the country for the british virgin isles

00:21:18.040 oh that's where he was that's where they feared he was going

00:21:20.360 they dreamed it up out of nowhere did they and the police were just like

00:21:22.560 we think epstein's gonna sorry we think manderson's gonna flee

00:21:26.100 specifically to the british virgin isles

00:21:28.840 we there's no reason why we think that there's literally no evidence or reason or anything

00:21:33.900 there's no rationale to that this just popped into our heads this morning

00:21:38.560 that doesn't make sense does it that's not likely is it

00:21:42.540 all right or is he gonna go to richard branson's island was he just gonna go and sit go go to

00:21:49.860 little st james on his own sit in that weird white and blue building on his own

00:21:56.080 hugging his knees rocking backwards and forwards

00:21:57.820 okay um

00:22:01.880 former ambassador has been bailed on suspicion of misconduct in public office all right

00:22:08.840 all right we get it well okay the sun is there anything else in the sun

00:22:11.820 i've got a picture of mandy there oh andrew so then as i say earlier

00:22:15.960 he's like the sacrificial lamb and they're trying to punish him so

00:22:20.200 this is a little story it's kind of slop well it is slop but

00:22:23.720 andrew like most royals if not all royals i would have thought

00:22:27.700 they're horsey people right they love horses

00:22:31.580 andrew loves riding

00:22:34.540 and quite often hasn't it been over the last few weeks or months

00:22:40.620 that um whenever he comes outdoors to just ride around one of the estates

00:22:45.200 whatever estate he's on

00:22:46.400 that's when the paparazzi

00:22:49.500 telephoto lenses can get a snap of andrew and they usually wait until

00:22:56.060 at a certain point he might smile or laugh

00:22:58.840 and then they snap him

00:23:00.520 and it's like andrew's living it up

00:23:03.580 andrew's having a good time

00:23:04.920 andrew's unrepentant

00:23:06.400 da da da da da

00:23:07.040 okay

00:23:07.460 so they want to put a stop to that

00:23:09.420 warning over bad look

00:23:12.520 get off your high horse andy 1.00

00:23:14.880 arrested ex-prince banned from riding

00:23:19.060 well it's only a self-imposed ban

00:23:21.480 it's not like

00:23:22.480 there's been an act of parliament that says andy can't ride a horse

00:23:25.640 but the palace the royal family i suppose are basically just saying look

00:23:33.620 they keep doing this they keep snapping you when you go out riding

00:23:36.760 quite often will have you

00:23:38.780 manage to get an expression on your face where you look

00:23:41.660 happy or at least unrepentant or whatever

00:23:44.640 we've got to put a stop to that it's a bad look

00:23:47.500 i mean they're not wrong

00:23:49.380 the optics of it

00:23:50.820 but again it's just like

00:23:52.520 stealing away from andrew

00:23:54.040 not that i've got any sympathy or pity for him

00:23:55.920 don't get me wrong i haven't

00:23:57.300 but taking away from him more and more things

00:23:59.840 even like just

00:24:02.420 what he obviously likes to do is just go out and have a little trot around the estate on a horse

00:24:07.480 no you can't do that anymore either

00:24:09.060 think of thomas moore in prison and then they take his books away

00:24:14.920 it's like the last thing i liked the only thing i've got left really

00:24:19.120 you're gonna take that away from me

00:24:20.560 all right

00:24:21.520 did i just compare prince andrew

00:24:23.860 to thomas moore

00:24:25.540 there's no parallels there really are there

00:24:29.520 or

00:24:30.540 the daily mail pure slop really

00:28:17.860 right okay gordon brown okay gordon brown he made endlessly poor decisions in government

00:28:29.060 he's the type of person isn't he he's gordon brown well you can't deny that he's not well educated 1.00

00:28:36.580 you can't deny you you couldn't say that he's a a full sort of idiot like a moron like david 1.00

00:28:42.260 lammy or angela rayner or something can't say that about gordon brown right that's not fair that's not 1.00

00:28:49.060 correct but did make endlessly bad decisions in government though

00:28:58.580 was not a leader in a true sense right a leader of men someone who's someone whose leadership shines out of

00:29:06.100 them 0.90

00:29:09.700 he was a dour dour little scotsman

00:29:15.700 but now you want to come out of the come out of the cobwebs and tell us what we're supposed to vote 0.98

00:30:05.140 probably

00:30:08.420 uh containment shield matt goodwin will win probably why we must stop reform though says gordon brown

00:30:14.500 he's still the best the best option right cog in the containment machine that he is in my opinion

00:30:24.260 it's still it's still better better to have him than a green or the labor or labor surely 1.00

00:30:29.940 that's the nature of politics isn't it you quite often have to make a choice of who's the least worst

00:30:36.900 still reform and goodwin will

00:30:38.660 still whether it's on the level or not will still move the overton window ever so slightly to the

00:30:44.740 right move it ever so slightly away from crazy greens so much to my own chagrin i would still prefer

00:30:55.060 matt goodwin to win over anyone else not that i'm a fan of matt goodwin himself i think i've made that

00:31:01.380 perfectly clear i still think he really believes the things he said years ago when he used to write

00:31:08.420 for hope not hate or work for hope not hate but there you go despite all of that it's still going

00:31:13.780 to be better than that crazy blonde green lady seen the candidate for the greens that champagne 1.00

00:33:47.380 oh i've had one or two comments bo shouldn't talk about ukraine and and russia because he doesn't

00:33:51.380 know what he's talking about well i have studied i have studied the region history of the region

00:33:57.620 going back to late antiquity i've got long-form content about i can prove that i'm not just saying

00:34:01.780 that there's proof hours of content of proof talking about going back to the kiev and russ or whatever

00:34:09.780 talk about the 19th and 20th century in a fair amount of detail okay do i care if the donbass region

00:34:17.460 falls under the auspices of the creme of of moscow or kiev no no i don't really care about that

00:34:50.100 all ukrainians i guess we've got nine percent ukrainians

00:34:52.340 now they did a sigh upon you to make you care about ukraine why should you unless you are in

00:35:00.580 fact ukrainian if you are in fact a ukrainian nationalist fair enough otherwise why would you

00:35:08.900 work okay okay okay so another stonking win for bodade and his audience is the chosen few his band of

00:35:21.300 brothers and sisters all right let's have a look at the uh let's have a look at the websites one day

00:35:29.620 we're going to have a falling out one day the uh the poll will be at stark odds with my view

00:35:35.620 it's going to happen one day

00:35:41.540 i'd be looking forward to it i wonder what it will be about

00:35:45.860 all right let's have a look here then

00:35:49.380 okay the bbc what have we got oh household energy bills to fall by 117 pounds a year in april

00:35:56.980 and then but actually only for some places maybe here's the story

00:36:03.460 plus 117 pounds a year i mean i'll take it who doesn't want another an extra 117 pounds in your

00:36:08.820 pocket right who's going to say no to that but it's not exactly the story is it it's like you've all

00:36:13.540 you're already robbing us of loads more money so once again the analogy of a thief steals

00:36:22.020 what a thousand pounds off of you and then gives you 120 pound back and you're supposed to be like 0.66

00:36:27.940 yay thanks i'm a winner out of this now you know you know the energy that people in britain pay is mad

00:36:37.540 it's mad how much it is

00:36:42.100 if you've got a big house you've got a really big house and you have to heat it up thoroughly all the

00:36:48.820 time it's gonna cost you loads let alone if you've got business it's gonna cost loads

00:36:56.820 luckily i've just got a little flat enough and i'll just put on more layers

00:37:00.180 i grew up poor i grew up very nearly dirt poor and we so i grew up if he was cold

00:37:08.820 you just tell put another jumper on then stop stop whining stop whinging

00:37:12.820 put another jumper on put your coat on indoors put your coat on then

00:37:19.220 so i'm just used to being a bit cold or just putting more layers on

00:37:25.860 character building

00:37:28.820 just be cold indoors in winter in britain

00:37:34.020 all right get in bed early get a hot water bottle that's one kettle's worth of energy hot water

00:37:39.700 bottom just hug the hot water okay trump hails economy and threatens iran in longest ever state

00:37:46.180 of the union yes i've mentioned it earlier didn't i there's a state of the union address

00:37:49.860 yesterday the longest one ever apparently it was like an hour and 50 odd minutes long

00:37:54.340 i didn't watch it all often i do in fact i might watch it today

00:37:58.340 most years i'll watch the state of the union i didn't watch it yesterday but i've seen clips and

00:38:02.740 i've seen synopsis of it and various things various analysis of it um this apparently is the longest

00:38:10.420 one ever they're usually long i mean an hour and 50 they're usually not far off of that they're

00:38:16.020 nearly always over an hour anyway anyway it's the longest everyone he talked a bit about iran

00:38:21.460 sort of threatening them again or just saying look just fall in line otherwise we've got to do what

00:38:25.060 we've got to do talk about the economy loads he said it was what was one of the things he said he

00:38:28.900 said it was a a turnaround for the ages like from the biden years the bidenomics mr biden's inflation

00:38:37.300 that trump's turned all of that around and it's a turnaround for the ages what did he obviously say

00:38:42.340 he said things like uh it's america's golden age it's a new golden age for the united states things

00:38:47.300 like that oh he poured school on the democrats saying that they should be ashamed of themselves

00:38:52.980 which they really should you know um for not helping not backing his policy on on immigration crackdown and

00:39:00.900 the ice and all that sort of stuff perhaps predictably rashida talib and um ilhan omar heckling him

00:39:12.260 from from the stands from the seats

00:39:14.500 they've got absolutely no shame have they no shame it's supposed to be it's not the sort of thing 1.00

00:39:24.580 where you should heckle ever like shouting out back at him what shameless scumbags 0.99

00:39:35.460 analysis trump issues patriotic rally crier with eye on crucial elections when the midterms aren't too far 0.98

00:39:41.380 away are they all right what else have we got okay let's move on to the itv was there anything that

00:39:50.980 fun that picture is funny isn't it they're both so pleased with themselves i believe this picture was

00:39:57.140 taken shortly after mandy was announced as ambassador to the us they're both so pleased with themselves

00:40:04.980 aren't they so funny it's so funny councils leave children as young as four sleeping on the streets

00:40:14.900 yeah because we packed look at these look they're just random children are they just random children

00:40:20.740 left on the streets no these are economic migrants and we haven't got enough council houses there's not 1.00

00:40:27.700 enough council homes but it's still just open borders to this day right now the policy of great britain is

00:40:33.380 essentially open borders there's no cap on migration numbers none they're not stopping the small boats 0.99

00:40:39.620 and as for legal migration there's no policy at all to cap it where the debate is now is that any talk of

00:40:48.580 that is racist and evil and wrong small-headed bigoted small-minded little englander type selfish 0.94

00:40:58.020 to even talk about putting any number on the cap of migrants oh but children have to sleep economic 0.96

00:41:04.660 migrants children have to sleep on the streets day because we've got no more council houses 1.00

00:41:11.060 or flats or whatever for them they just have to live in tents if they're lucky to get a tent

00:41:18.980 we'll just fill london we'll just fill the streets of london with tents

00:41:22.100 it's mad isn't it mad what is going on well we know what's going on isn't it

00:41:32.980 people i hope not hate or the running me trust

00:41:38.340 they want to destroy this country they want to destroy it they're hellbent on it in fact

00:41:45.860 a little bit of the fallout from the um that bafta guy the guy with tourettes if anyone doesn't 0.99

00:43:43.380 that's his type of tourette okay the queen didn't mind everyone knew he's a tourette sufferer that that's

00:43:49.860 his thing everyone knew it didn't get in trouble for that because he's got a neurological problem

00:43:57.940 but no these black people at the baftas are all upset about it about racism 1.00

00:49:34.580 union that's uh what else is the uh oh yeah the washington post well in america as you can imagine

00:49:41.060 the biggest thing that happened in their news cycle is the state of the union but trump looks like he's

00:49:48.020 he looks like he's photoshopped i don't i don't think he is you ever get that these days when you see

00:49:52.660 something and it is real it is a real image but you think that looks ai that looks photoshopped you know

00:49:57.540 oh no it isn't it's real do you ever have that it's weird isn't it a bit unsettling isn't it

00:50:05.460 not quite sure what's real or not a fair amount of the time

00:50:12.420 a bit worrying isn't it all right let's go down under how good even the aussies are talking about the

00:50:19.460 uh state of the union um was a fantastic amount japan china not much the ruskies um the russian

00:50:27.300 diplomat sees the uk france flirting with kiev over nukes and they go with the state of the union

00:51:17.460 people i think the actual artifacts themselves have not been recovered

00:51:24.340 well lucky they're only from the 19th century not truly ancient

00:51:39.540 leftism for you all right space news well let's have a look at this day in history because we're

00:51:45.220 getting towards the top of the hour because you like that and i like that to finish out the show

00:51:50.740 what happened on this day the 25th of february what happened on this day throughout the centuries

00:51:55.540 all right

00:51:59.380 pardon me tea's gone cold i have to resort to my water

00:52:07.460 okay on this day the 25th february in the year 1570 pious v pope pious v

00:52:14.980 excommunicates queen elizabeth the first good queen bess elizabeth tudor of england for heresy

00:52:22.820 and persecution of of english catholics during her reign and and and absolves her subjects from

00:52:31.620 allegiance to the crown

00:52:34.980 yeah good one well done yeah great

00:52:38.900 whoa very nearly spilt my nearly well did spill a bit my cup of tea

00:52:45.780 oh i have to clean up in a minute all right you'll be careful flailing around like alex phillips

00:52:52.260 okay pope pius v yeah it's at this point isn't it during the the reformation the protestant

00:52:59.060 reformation in england where we just don't really care anymore kind of because there were english catholics

00:53:08.100 right but the vast majority of the of the people is like yeah some italian guy in italy telling us we

00:53:15.780 can't go to heaven anymore yeah no i don't care don't buy it don't believe it

00:53:21.460 well it's half a millennia ago hundreds and hundreds of years ago

00:53:24.420 yeah oh you're going to excommunicate us are you for heresy go on then fine

00:53:33.220 the ex community excommunicated king john centuries before that we didn't particularly care then 0.65

00:53:39.300 italian man little corrupt italian man yeah go on excommunicate us fine whatever we've got our own 0.97

00:53:46.660 church now we don't need we don't need the latin mass in order to go to heaven 0.99

00:53:55.220 don't need it

00:54:00.260 we don't need the bible to be passed for us by a priest

00:54:08.740 we can read it for ourselves thank you very much we don't need the papacy to tell us what individual

00:54:17.380 passages mean we'll make up our own minds about that thanks are you going to call that heresy go

00:54:22.740 on then fine do it do what you want well you don't care anymore you have no power over us actually

00:54:29.300 pope dear the pope

00:54:32.980 all right that will piss off a lot of uh catholics out there but it's just history deal with it it's 0.99

00:54:38.580 history we're a protestant country

00:54:44.980 all right on this day in 1836 samuel colt patents the first practical revolving cylinder multi-shot

00:54:53.140 revolver allowing it to fire multiple shots without reloading samuel colt there

00:54:58.420 the cult all right on this day in 1862 this is interesting this is one of those things in history

00:55:06.980 where you think oh really it was only then it was as late as that that that thing happened you

00:55:11.060 know sometimes in history you learn a fact factoid you're like oh that's much earlier than i thought

00:55:15.380 or that's much later than i thought oh this one in 1862 the first legal tender act of 1862 is passed by

00:55:23.220 the u.s congress authorizing the united states greenback the greenback dollar into circulation

00:55:30.580 there's a picture of it of course um and it was the first flat paper fit flat the first fiat paper

00:55:38.100 money that is legal tender in america 1862 you would have thought it'd be earlier than that wouldn't

00:55:46.100 you unless you know unless you know all about the history of money 1862 that's that's during the civil

00:55:54.180 war isn't it isn't it yeah yeah yeah during the civil war they didn't have paper money in the united

00:56:04.820 states until then it's quite late isn't it well i think it is i think it is maybe maybe you don't agree

00:56:10.340 that it feels that feels late in history all right on this day in 1910 the 13th dalai lama flees tibet

00:56:18.660 for british india to escape chinese troops yeah

00:56:28.100 oh well now i've got sympathy for tibet but the dalai lama themselves

00:56:34.660 the whole concept of the dalai lama let alone the individual predilections of the current dalai lama

00:56:44.980 the whole concept of the dalai lama is a nonsense as far as i'm concerned

00:56:50.660 still i've got sympathy for the individual people of tibet being oppressed by the chinese it wouldn't 0.97

00:56:57.060 have been the communists with it in 1910 that still would have been the the nationalists like

00:57:01.540 chen kashik or whatever or um sunyat sen i don't know i can't remember off the top of my head but

00:57:06.420 not communists actually at that point anyway to this day a little bit of sympathy for the tibetan

00:57:12.020 people the average tibetan people okay on this day in 1956 the key to khrushchev uh denounces joseph

00:57:18.500 stalin at the 20th congress of the communist party of the soviet union that's a big turning point really

00:57:23.780 isn't it the the de-stalinization process of the soviet union denouncing stalin

00:57:29.700 you know saying uh yeah that whole period we went through of stalin yeah we recognize now it was

00:57:38.980 bad that was pretty evil i mean it didn't stop the terror the state terror still very oppressive

00:57:46.180 single party system under khrushchev very but not as bad as the darkest days of stalin

00:57:59.060 and even khrushchev is mainly it's actually more cynical than see if you think you might think oh

00:58:05.140 khrushchev's just a good guy then that was a good that was like sort of the moral correct thing to

00:58:09.460 do that was that was right quite as simple as that in fact khrushchev was still trying to out

00:58:16.660 maneuver his political opponents his political enemies and he'd calculated correctly it turns out

00:58:22.740 really that in order to because there was a party a faction in the kremlin that was super hardline pro

00:58:30.580 stalin still even after stalin's death and he had to out maneuver them and he eventually decided one

00:58:38.500 of the ways to do is to come out in public and denounce stalin in order to undermine them 0.99

00:58:44.260 because of course khrushchev was at the heart of government

00:58:48.020 more or less at various points he was at the heart of government during the stalin years so he's

00:58:52.180 responsible for it at least in part isn't he wasn't he

00:58:54.340 but then he comes out and he denounces stalin it is it is still ultimately for the best even though 0.65

00:59:00.500 it's much more cynical than it first seems on the part of khrushchev still it's for the best right 0.82

00:59:07.380 the stalinist era in the soviet union at its worst at the height of the terror more than one wave of

00:59:15.780 terror uh was nightmarish nightmarish all right let's have a look then at the uh at the rumble

00:59:28.260 rants and super chats all right let's have a let's have a quick look at the rumble rants kalergi says

00:59:33.860 if the tourette's guy is shouting things that he believes are inappropriate isn't it the one shouting 0.99

00:59:40.020 i love lgbtq plus and minorities we need to be watching out for right yeah interesting 1.00

00:59:49.460 one thing i would say is if i had tourette's or his type of tourette's even if invited i probably

00:59:55.380 wouldn't go to an award ceremony or probably wouldn't visit the cinema very often probably

01:00:01.700 wouldn't go to the opera if i suffered from that type of tourette but still he was invited and he did

01:00:08.020 win an award so he had a right to be there yeah it's just fake outrage so phony outrage and victim

01:00:14.100 point isn't it don't care about it all right kalergi also says

01:00:22.100 i don't really get exactly what you're saying here but um oh okay okay he says ginger harry

01:00:29.700 bojack dansturbed karl sad stelios and then ends it by saying human lotus peed

01:00:39.780 oh that's not a nice image it's quite funny but

01:00:47.700 all right tom rat 247 says i lost my job as a consequence of gordon brown and alistair darling's

01:00:54.100 actions and had several and had several years of penury i've barely emerged from now that ponce and

01:01:01.380 his opinions can do one yeah i'm sorry to hear that tom rat really sorry to hear that yeah they can do

01:01:06.740 one right gordon brown gordon brown i'm not listening to anything you've got to say you've proved yourself

01:01:14.820 time and time and time and time again to have bad opinions a bad world view

01:01:22.820 don't trust i don't like gordon brown and and your opinions can shuffle off thank you very much

01:01:32.500 we tried doing it your way didn't we that didn't work very well it got us invaded 0.96

01:01:37.700 it got our women folk raped on an industrial scale gordon brown get lost get away from me gordon brown 0.98

01:01:51.540 all right youtube super chats global church history thanks global church history for the

01:01:58.020 super church you do you said uh today i guess in the year 138 it will be the year 138 uh today in

01:02:05.620 the year 138 ad uh hadrian adopts antonius pious antoninus pious i sometimes pronounce that wrong

01:02:15.380 it's antoninus pious okay some of the great some of the best emperors um edward gibbon says

01:02:25.860 antoninus pious was one of the great possibly the greatest emperor there ever was that his age was

01:02:33.220 the golden age of roman of the roman empire there's nothing better 1.00

01:02:40.900 according to gibbon uh in 493 oduesa capitulates to theodoric interesting and another another very

01:02:49.860 very interesting bit of history that's right at the end of the roman empire isn't it or beyond

01:02:53.860 beyond really definitely beyond um in 628 kavadar the second overthrows kershaw the second reversing

01:03:05.140 persian gains yeah that's a that's a big one as well for the near east isn't it that's

01:03:11.460 the kershaw the second is one of the big ones like main important ones and uh we're talking there this is

01:03:19.060 just before the generation or so isn't it just before the first muslim conquests 1.00

01:03:27.220 so the the near east at least was sort of exhausted by those wars that's one of the things the

01:03:32.340 historians say the reason why the islamic holds did so well straight away bursting out of arabia

01:03:40.260 is because the world was at a period of being completely exhausted

01:03:48.020 you know like in the age directly after the black death for example if there'd been a giant 0.99

01:03:55.940 mongolian invasion at that point for example it would have been a lot lot easier for them wouldn't it 1.00

01:04:01.540 than one generation before that so anyway that's what they say about that okay f google 2 says bo has

01:04:11.540 the best morning show you guys make it happen it's the best morning show what you can do watch jeremy

01:04:23.860 kyle give me a break please what you're going to watch big fat mike graham grace

01:04:49.940 nonsense is going on the uk economy is still effed yeah i hope you got a decent payout at least for

01:04:57.700 being made redundant as i mean being made redundant is still better than just being fired because

01:05:06.020 usually they'll give you a payout right three months worth of pay or four months or more sometimes

01:05:10.820 depending doesn't it so i hope you're all right buddy try and get try and get back on the wagon as

01:05:16.580 quick as possible i would say and definitely you know some make sure you this thing is worth getting

01:05:23.140 out of bed for try not to go down in a downward spiral get back on the horse as quickly as possible

01:05:29.860 i would say if you can if you can sorry to hear that all right luke stewart g'day bo how are you doing

01:05:35.380 today i'm fine thinking yeah fine fit right i had a bushy tailed um i was wondering if you could also read

01:05:43.300 from what dan calls the authority of the media bbc pigeon oh yeah i uh i detest bbc pigeon

01:05:54.820 at first i felt it kind of funny well it is funny kind of is funny so absurd that it's funny but i kind

01:06:01.780 of even that has walled off on me now and i just find it a pure embarrassment pure embarrassment maybe

01:06:08.100 one day i will once or twice i'm right i won't rule it out because it is still a bit funny isn't it

01:06:14.900 okay luke stewart again says on ukraine as soon as they can at least get peace they can quickly join nato

01:06:24.420 and russia will never be able to touch them i think it's the main reason why russia doesn't want to end

01:06:29.380 the war interesting take maybe um i think nato i mean i think nato themselves don't want ukraine

01:06:39.620 in nato because it's just that that one sort of creates a ticking time bomb doesn't it

01:06:47.540 put it this way do you want someone in your gang who you know is going to cause trouble even if you're

01:06:53.540 a criminal gang but you know they're like a hothead and they're gonna do crazy things and bring heat on

01:06:59.060 you you don't really do you i think that's i think that's the thinking from later but nonetheless

01:07:05.540 you might be right you might be perfectly correct there i don't know interesting luke stewart again

01:07:10.980 says in australia we have the same problem with our gps doctors sometimes you need to know you're

01:07:18.020 going to be sometimes you need to know you're going to be sick about two weeks in advance to get an

01:07:22.420 appointment right yeah it's no good i'm sick now i need to be seen and given a prescription now

01:07:29.060 that's the nature of it not in a week's time two weeks time i'll either be dead or better by then

01:07:37.940 what good is that yeah mad mad next to it again says young and healthy harry could you please do a

01:07:45.780 poll to see if beau is ever sick uh can you get dan to read bbc pigeon articles to us instead cancelling

01:07:53.700 um yeah i do rarely get sick it will happen at some point at some point the show will just be

01:08:00.340 cancelled or maybe we'll get someone else in josh maybe to cover for a day i will eventually get sick

01:08:05.540 won't i but i don't usually get sick i do enjoy relatively rude health most of the time um but
