00:01:22.400 Brief battle with cancer

00:01:24.200 It's all to all honestly

00:01:26.440 It's like

00:01:26.940 Nearly all the front pages

00:01:29.580 And all the websites

00:01:30.740 Dolly Parton there

00:01:31.660 Dolly Parton 0.98

00:01:32.660 Dolly

00:01:34.040 Dolly

00:01:36.480 Dolly

00:01:39.040 Dolly Parton

00:01:42.720 Okay so

00:01:43.820 It happened early enough

00:01:45.120 in the evening british time for it to actually go to print

00:01:50.560 all right i mean a few words there i mean i quite like dolly parton she had some great songs didn't

00:01:55.520 she islands in the stream with kenny rogers it's actually one of my favorite songs once a favorite

00:02:03.360 top 50. brilliant song love that one

00:02:08.240 but she did that song i i will always love you oh you thought that was a whitney houston 0.99

00:02:13.440 track and dolly did it first dolly did it first um yeah so she was just quite nice there was

00:02:23.560 unfortunately when someone dies now they drag up things about them don't they like like straight

00:02:29.720 away so like she was kind of pro-vax for example she was very very pro lbtq plus

00:02:39.240 Other than that, she was actually not very political at all

00:02:43.840 Like, deliberately

00:02:44.420 Like, the odd bit here and there

00:02:46.060 When asked to criticise Trump, she wouldn't

00:02:49.340 But then also wouldn't accept, like, an honorary award from him

00:02:55.360 And, like, you know, so

00:02:56.640 She was, not entirely, no one is apolitical

00:03:00.140 But she was mostly apolitical

00:03:02.060 And mostly liked, right?

00:03:05.280 She seemed like just a nice person, didn't she?

00:03:09.240 In interviews and stuff, she seemed like a well-meaning person.

00:03:12.140 A philanthropist.

00:03:14.660 Wanted to help kids learn to read and stuff.

00:03:19.920 And some great songs and a few good movies.

00:03:25.720 And of course the figure.

00:03:28.940 State the obvious, come on now. 1.00

00:03:31.500 No, good old Dolly Parton. 0.99

00:03:35.260 So that she's gone, I suppose.

00:03:36.540 All right

00:03:37.960 What else is there to say

00:03:39.320 She had a good innings

00:03:40.860 80

00:03:41.180 It's not bad is it

00:03:42.300 If you live to 80

00:03:44.320 You've got to say

00:03:45.120 You know

00:03:46.680 The universe didn't

00:03:48.060 Didn't rob you

00:03:48.920 Of your fair share

00:03:49.920 Of life on this earth

00:03:51.340 Not a bad age

00:03:54.080 I suppose

00:03:54.880 All right

00:03:56.700 Country icon dies at 80

00:03:59.300 We will always love you Dolly

00:04:00.860 We will always love you Dolly

00:04:03.520 Oh the sun goes with

00:04:04.580 The exact same headline

00:04:05.980 the exact same headline the mirror the exact same headline

00:04:12.700 so are you a single cabal or not fleet street dear fleet street honest question are you a single

00:04:25.260 cabal or not just asking because it looks like you are it very much feels like you are there's

00:04:37.420 there's one overarching mind telling nearly all the papers nearly every day exactly what they are

00:04:43.020 or aren't going to do what they're going to lie about by omission every single day sorry

00:04:47.660 are you or aren't you well we don't need you to ask you obviously are you obviously are

00:04:55.260 Right, well, I mean, that's it.

00:04:56.260 We will always love you, Dolly.

00:04:57.200 Okay.

00:04:57.980 Alright.

00:05:01.020 Alright.

00:05:01.760 The Independent.

00:05:03.140 Still going with Dolly,

00:05:04.040 but they don't do the exact same headline.

00:05:07.920 Dolly Parton dies at 80.

00:05:09.420 Alright, okay.

00:05:11.400 She did Glastonbury, didn't she?

00:05:12.580 Not too many years ago.

00:05:14.220 Remember that?

00:05:14.600 Or did she do Glastonbury twice?

00:05:16.060 Anyway.

00:05:17.800 The Guardian.

00:05:18.440 Ooh.

00:05:20.220 Yuck.

00:05:25.260 The Guardian

00:05:27.620 Gross 1.00

00:05:28.480 Dara O'Brien said something 1.00

00:05:29.920 Don't care about Dara O'Brien

00:05:31.300 Don't care about globalist wokest Dara O'Brien 0.53

00:05:34.580 Pretend he doesn't know about rape statistics 0.99

00:05:37.500 Dara O'Brien 1.00

00:05:38.300 Get lost mate 1.00

00:05:41.740 Freak

00:05:43.700 Here's an action story

00:05:47.860 Back review on electoral reform

00:05:51.680 MPs tell Burnham

00:05:52.660 So a bunch of MPs

00:05:54.940 even labour mps are saying to burn i'm trying to put pressure as much as 100 labour mps

00:05:59.260 put pressure on him to change electoral reform you know

00:06:06.540 looking at it wasn't necessarily first past the post type reform but just uh

00:06:12.940 oh it is actually sorry it's first past the post as well as other things

00:06:17.100 um just get with the times a lot of our our electoral process is a bit antiquated you might

00:06:24.300 say a little bit old a little bit old-fashioned a lot of people a lot of countries in europe

00:06:29.580 do it differently a bit more pr proportional representation but um

00:06:34.780 you remember david cameron right at the beginning of the cameron years

00:06:38.780 was that like 2010 2011 he actually did cameron did a full referendum on pr because it was the

00:06:47.740 the thing that the Lib Dems and Nick Clegg. Anyone remember Nick Clegg? Anybody? They

00:06:54.120 insisted on where they entered into a coalition government together, didn't they? The Lib

00:06:59.460 Dems, one of their conditions was that Nick Clegg got to be Deputy Prime Minister, which

00:07:03.680 isn't really worth much, is it? And that David Cameron would do a full national referendum

00:07:08.040 on PR, which he did, and they rushed it through as quickly as possible, with barely talking

00:07:12.860 about it so that most people didn't even know it was going on and then it failed to pass you know

00:07:19.100 that we would do pr going forward um and then that's it and david cameron and the tories because

00:07:24.220 it's in the tories interest mostly or the two big parties mostly um just said right that's it you've

00:07:28.700 had your shot that's it for a generation sort of thing like the like the scottish independence

00:07:33.580 referendum right you've had your shot we put it to the public you lost whoever lost whatever side

00:07:38.380 loss and that's it for a generation but people even including at least 100 labor mps like it's

00:07:48.700 just not right is it it's just not really fair well there's a fair fairer ways of doing it

00:07:55.020 basically i'm not like really a pr fanatic but i'm pro pr i'm pro pr if it was up to me i would

00:08:04.540 probably, well, most certainly would change it, proportional representation, why not?

00:08:12.900 I don't really see a great argument not to, it just does seem fairer, all right, MP may

00:08:20.460 change law to shake up utility firms, I'm getting the impression already about Burnham,

00:08:26.960 Is that

00:08:29.160 He says a lot of things

00:08:31.280 And he hasn't had much time to do

00:08:33.580 Anything really, I mean Parliament's only

00:08:35.440 Sitting back

00:08:36.400 Getting back to sitting

00:08:38.380 Like today, was it later this week

00:08:41.140 So he hasn't actually had a chance to really

00:08:43.620 Do anything exactly

00:08:45.640 In terms of

00:08:46.600 A legislative agenda or anything like that

00:08:49.840 But

00:08:50.080 I keep doing that

00:08:54.400 i feel like he says a lot of things and then u-turns on them really quickly at least starmer

00:09:05.640 would say things and he wouldn't u-turn until it came to a crunch moment in parliament where his

00:09:09.880 backbenchers made it clear they were gonna rebel or something it seems like burnham says something

00:09:15.660 and then u-turns or drops the idea within a day or two rather than talking about it for weeks and

00:09:22.400 months getting to a crunch point and then you turning we'll see we'll see what he does we see

00:09:28.760 what he does canada to hit us with dollar for dollar tariffs so the ongoing tiff between carny

00:09:34.600 and trump talked about it a bit yesterday didn't we have both accused the other one of being

00:09:42.040 unreasonable when trying to make a trade deal by saying the other side asked for things at the

00:09:49.580 last moment which the the other side can't agree to and it's been unreasonable trump saying i will

00:09:54.260 whack a 50 50 tariff on you then well kind of just saying well you don't tariff us we'll tariff you

00:10:02.860 if anything i'm saying he might he wants to change the name of lake ontario to lake america

00:10:10.280 probably won't with it calling the gulf of mexico the gulf of america

00:10:16.560 is it really ever going to happen and even if he did people probably still just call it

00:10:21.520 the gulf of mexico for another few generations anyway even if he was formally legally changed

00:10:29.400 anyway so anyway canada and america in terms of trade deals rattling their sabres at each other

00:10:38.140 all right the times the venerable times let's have a look pursuit of net zero has failed to

00:10:45.540 Cut manufacturers energy bills

00:10:47.080 Why would you think it would cut

00:10:49.160 Manufacturers

00:10:50.780 Energy bills

00:10:52.620 Why would anyone think it cut bills

00:10:55.480 Of course it doesn't cut bills

00:10:57.260 Why would you think it cut bills

00:10:59.860 Why would you

00:11:00.460 No

00:11:02.660 Why would you

00:11:03.940 Obviously not

00:11:06.960 Dear old Dolly's

00:11:09.580 Passed away

00:11:10.260 Boycott fears over Burnham's

00:11:13.220 Israel plan

00:11:14.020 West Bank settlement sanctions split labour

00:11:17.840 Interesting story

00:11:19.720 That Israel are building more and more things in the West Bank

00:11:23.780 Because of course they are, of course they do

00:11:25.400 That's their thing isn't it, it's one of their things, they do

00:11:27.720 They say it's just their land

00:11:37.100 Well not every single Jew or Israeli says that 0.99

00:11:40.460 But most of them 1.00

00:11:41.100 It's just our land

00:11:42.620 And yeah there's a split in the Labour Party over that

00:11:48.480 Like Ed Miliband's not in favour of it

00:11:51.660 Red Ed Miliband's not in favour of it 1.00

00:11:53.220 Of course all the Muslims in the Labour Party 1.00

00:11:57.020 Of which there are loads 1.00

00:11:58.020 Are not in favour of it

00:11:59.880 Are they of course 0.97

00:12:00.680 Then you've got the pro-Zionist lobby 0.95

00:12:03.400 The pro-Zionist types 1.00

00:12:05.540 They are in favour of it 1.00

00:12:07.800 Surprise surprise

00:12:10.140 Surprise surprise

00:12:11.420 So the dirty desert feud 0.71

00:12:16.940 Breaks out into our politics 0.99

00:12:18.820 Great, great

00:12:20.240 Again, it's nothing to do with us

00:12:25.820 Who does or doesn't live or build in the West Bank

00:12:29.500 Has got nothing to do with us 1.00

00:12:31.620 Why should it?

00:12:35.560 We stopped being involved in that

00:12:39.080 In like 1947 or whatever it was

00:12:41.420 should never have got we got involved in that area properly in world war one didn't we after

00:12:47.720 you've seen mine and lucas content on lawrence of arabia many many many many many hours

00:12:52.400 worth of content all about seven pillars of wisdom and t.e lawrence's memoir all about

00:12:57.680 the war in the east in world war one general allen bizz march through the levant and the holy land

00:13:05.120 british armies basically that recapture jerusalem from the ottoman turk you're welcome

00:13:10.700 so from like 1917 to 1947 or whatever then was finally like uh yeah okay we'll just leave this

00:13:22.180 obviously a hornet's nest of insanity so nowadays nowadays what has it got to do with us nothing

00:13:29.200 i don't want anything to do with it revolting you've got to pick a side you've got to pick

00:13:35.080 side. No, no. I picked Britain's side. Someone in the chat. Balfour Declaration. Read a book.

00:13:43.380 Read a book. Find out what that actually is, what that actually meant.

00:13:49.520 Balfour Declaration. Oh, so now the Jewish-Muslim conflicts are our problem because of Arthur 0.62

00:13:57.160 Balfour. Is it? Is it?

00:14:05.080 okay here's another story u.s refuses to confirm cia chief's visit to moscow that's quite

00:14:12.200 interesting the story is that a u.s military transport aircraft landed in moscow or just

00:14:19.380 outside moscow and it was sort of a motorcade went from there to the middle of moscow to like

00:14:31.140 the Kremlin, and the Russians were like, there's nothing of importance going on, but

00:14:37.780 that motorcade was like a diplomatic place of like the US, the US, and they were saying,

00:14:48.300 the Russians basically saying, there's nothing to see here, nothing really happened, don't

00:14:50.640 worry about it, we're not talking about what it was or what it wasn't, and the US saying

00:14:57.840 the same thing then people that just know people that are just in the know and leak things say it

00:15:04.560 was uh radcliffe john radcliffe this the head of the cia visited moscow and for just for a few hours

00:15:13.040 and then left again and flew out again and the russian sorry and the americans apparently

00:15:17.440 apparently i mean it's all a bit secret secret it's a little bit uh you know hush hush apparently

00:15:22.960 According to sources, according to insiders

00:15:24.880 They were saying that the US even asked Ukraine

00:15:27.800 To not drop anything on Moscow that day

00:15:31.480 For a few hours, if you don't mind

00:15:33.720 That's quite often the way that the intelligent services do something

00:15:38.560 If people have got the main mainstream media have got questions

00:15:44.800 It's sort of obvious what the answer is

00:15:46.380 They're just looking for confirmation

00:15:47.480 Very, very nearly, for four decades

00:15:50.080 The intelligent services will just say

00:15:51.760 We neither confirm nor deny

00:15:53.540 That old cliche

00:15:54.440 We neither confirm nor deny anything

00:15:57.600 Even when it's really obvious what it really was

00:16:01.300 You're just looking for confirmation

00:16:02.600 So that's what they said

00:16:03.420 Both sides, the Russians and the US said

00:16:05.000 We neither confirm nor deny anything's happened here

00:16:07.520 But

00:16:08.020 The head of the CIA visited Moscow

00:16:12.920 Almost certainly

00:16:15.080 Of course we don't know what was said and to whom

00:16:18.660 But it's interesting, isn't it?

00:16:21.760 Not that usual, well, it's not usual at all, is it?

00:16:25.900 She's seen as all the rhetoric that comes out of the State Department

00:16:28.660 for a long, long time about Russia.

00:16:33.120 Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:16:35.980 Interesting.

00:16:36.740 It'll probably take years and years and years

00:16:38.120 before somebody writes a book.

00:16:45.580 Maybe even Radcliffe himself, years from now,

00:16:50.260 Writes a book and tells us what that really was

00:16:52.280 What really went on there, what happened

00:16:53.500 Might be nothing, mightn't it

00:16:55.800 Might be nothing of any real import

00:16:57.440 Who knows

00:17:00.180 Why would the head of the CIA

00:17:02.480 Want to physically meet

00:17:04.560 In person someone, whether it's Putin

00:17:06.280 Or whether it's his opposite number

00:17:08.240 In the FSB or the GRU or whatever

00:17:10.440 Who knows, who knows

00:17:11.460 A little bit of an interesting story

00:17:14.680 A little bit more than 1.00

00:17:15.400 Poor old Dolly Parton has passed away

00:17:17.960 okay the telegraph the tory graph dolly parton there okay

00:17:23.040 birmingham set to be first 20 mile per hour city anti-motorist speed limit risks being replicated

00:17:30.640 across england thanks to burnham's uh devolution drive so it's in wales isn't it i think largely

00:17:36.700 in wales where they've got like a 20 mile per hour speed limit all over the place

00:17:40.600 which is really slow isn't it when you're in a 30 mile an hour zone and you actually go 30 mile an

00:17:46.520 hour it feels slow doesn't it feels really slow and 20 mile an hour drive around at 20 miles an hour

00:17:56.120 it feels really slow like even well anyway so apparently birmingham are looking like birmingham

00:18:01.800 council if they've got more and more powers where the local authority can make decisions like this

00:18:08.040 apparently birmingham are are looking at like the coalition of like

00:18:11.480 like Labour and Green, Lib Dem type councillors, they're all up for it, I think that making

00:18:21.460 the claim it will help congestion, will it, I mean, alright, pensioners face tax raid

00:18:27.760 to bail out Britain, ooh the older people won't like this, the older people won't like

00:18:33.440 this older people complaining if any of the parties even remotely start talking about not

00:18:45.340 having a triple lock on the pensions even though it's not affordable it's not sustainable if you

00:18:51.540 get your triple lock then just quite simply the whole state pension system falls apart even 0.85

00:18:57.060 quicker than it's going to but okay selfish boomers make sure you get every last penny 0.86

00:19:02.640 It's all about you isn't it 0.94

00:19:05.180 Well anyway

00:19:05.820 Pensioners face a further tax rate

00:19:09.640 All the story is

00:19:11.160 Is that a think tank

00:19:12.380 A left leaning think tank

00:19:14.000 Called the Public Policy Research

00:19:16.060 The Institute for Public Policy Research

00:19:18.500 Which is a totally leftist leaning think tank

00:19:21.300 Just said to Labour 0.98

00:19:22.280 Why don't you just tax pensioners more

00:19:24.700 There's a shortfall in the public purse isn't there 0.96

00:19:28.900 We haven't really got enough money

00:19:30.380 I know 1.00

00:19:31.580 tax old people more 1.00

00:19:33.940 that's leftism for you isn't it though

00:19:39.080 that's leftist economic theory

00:19:40.480 just tax people until the pips go squeak 0.95

00:19:43.640 that's all they've got

00:19:45.600 and then when you're living in ruin

00:19:48.240 when you're living in rags

00:19:50.780 starving to death

00:19:51.980 only then will they be happy

00:19:57.560 Because you were rich

00:20:00.880 You had a bit of money 1.00

00:20:01.600 You was a kulak 1.00

00:20:02.260 You was middle class 1.00

00:20:03.260 You was a slightly more wealthy

00:20:05.220 Working class person 1.00

00:20:06.260 So that's what you deserve really 1.00

00:20:08.020 According to them

00:20:09.480 Badenok to reshuffle shadow cabinet

00:20:13.380 Don't care

00:20:13.940 Don't care about what the Tories do

00:20:15.280 What Oli Kemi Badenok does and says

00:20:16.780 Don't care

00:20:17.500 Not interested in them

00:20:18.700 Their betrayal of this country

00:20:22.720 Was on a biblical scale

00:20:24.220 Tony Blair might have started it

00:20:27.220 well started in the 50s tony blair may have ratcheted it up it was the tories that 14 year

00:20:33.780 tory rule where they flooded us with millions of enemy combatants yeah

00:20:45.140 an army of foreign fighting age men nigel said that it was in the news circle yesterday nigel

00:20:49.940 went on talk tv and one of the first properly important people to say

00:20:54.100 this could well be an army of foreign invaders yeah well done nige well done people have been 1.00

00:21:07.100 saying that for quite a long time because it's so obvious we finally caught up finally someone 1.00

00:21:12.460 the balls to say it yeah yeah an army of invaders i'm not interested in what bad or not says 0.96

00:21:18.760 A literal Nigerian anchor baby 0.99

00:21:22.240 Who's gloating in parliament 0.99

00:21:23.420 About all the foreign visas 0.99

00:21:24.740 She got

00:21:25.680 Just not many years ago

00:21:26.880 She was in government

00:21:28.480 During that 14 years 0.72

00:21:29.500 For a portion of it 0.92

00:21:30.360 Not interested in her reshuffle

00:21:34.520 Get out of my face 1.00

00:21:35.920 The iPaper 0.99

00:21:40.320 Dolly Parton's passed away

00:21:42.280 Future of UK state pension

00:21:44.700 Triple lock in doubt

00:21:45.640 Yeah because it's

00:21:46.320 Completely unsustainable

00:21:47.180 Yeah 1.00

00:21:47.840 with older population growing faster than workers extra 2.9 million people are projected to reach

00:21:56.900 pension age in britain between 2024 and 2049 outpacing the rise in working age population

00:22:03.060 of just 2.2 million forecast over the same period public finance time bomb comes in calls into

00:22:09.040 question long-term future of the uk state pension welfare system and raises the prospect of higher

00:22:15.460 taxes to pay for aging population. Tough new conversations in Whitehall about how long

00:22:21.420 government can honor its current commitments with regard to state pension, with other Western

00:22:26.700 democracies and Japan grappling with similar social trend. Life expectancy was around 65

00:22:31.960 for men when state pension was introduced in 1948. Now it's 83.

00:22:37.060 Yeah, it's unsustainable

00:22:41.560 It's not fair

00:22:42.320 It's not that I've got no

00:22:43.240 Let's be fair

00:22:43.820 It's not that I've got no sympathy

00:22:46.160 For older people 1.00

00:22:47.520 That paid into their pension 0.96

00:22:49.800 For their whole life

00:22:50.580 And now may not get what's fair

00:22:52.980 What's coming to them

00:22:53.840 But welcome to the club

00:22:56.020 Yeah, it's been mismanaged, hasn't it?

00:23:01.500 Yeah, you've been betrayed on another level

00:23:03.000 On yet another layer of betrayal

00:23:04.660 By our elites

00:23:06.200 People that were supposed to rule over us

00:23:08.180 And working out interests

00:23:09.160 Yeah just another layer of that

00:23:10.780 Not fair is it

00:23:13.920 Not fair

00:23:14.440 Not gloating about it

00:23:17.740 I'm not happy about it

00:23:18.580 Let's be

00:23:18.920 You know

00:23:19.640 I want to be clear about that

00:23:21.060 I threw a little bit of shade 1.00

00:23:23.180 At selfish boomers earlier 1.00

00:23:25.780 That's hyperbole

00:23:27.760 It's not fair is it

00:23:29.780 It's not

00:23:30.300 There it is

00:23:32.680 The numbers don't add up

00:23:34.960 They will not add up

00:23:36.200 Just one more injustice, isn't it?

00:23:39.820 Just one more injustice

00:23:40.660 Just one more example of their

00:23:42.560 Their complete mismanagement of the whole thing

00:23:45.840 You can only advise people

00:23:51.680 To pay into a private pension

00:23:54.400 As soon as you can

00:23:55.480 As soon as you start working

00:23:56.900 If you can

00:23:57.500 You've got to spend your life

00:24:01.060 Building some sort of nest egg

00:24:03.660 For your own old age

00:24:05.160 Don't rely on the state to do it for you

00:24:07.220 It's a bit late 1.00

00:24:12.560 To tell older people that now

00:24:14.140 Alright the Daily Mail

00:24:18.500 Pure globalist slop

00:24:19.360 Pure globalist slop

00:24:22.100 Trying to pretend it isn't 1.00

00:24:24.000 That's Dolly Parton

00:24:24.860 Harry's 15 year plan to don't care

00:24:27.580 Don't care about Harry and Meghan

00:24:28.840 Burn and warm of impending Russian 0.91

00:24:31.940 UK attack

00:24:33.140 Andy Burnham has been warned

00:24:36.700 That Britain faces Russian retaliation

00:24:38.820 Over its support for Ukraine

00:24:40.180 Okay, the story goes on

00:24:41.840 Yeah, so over the last few days

00:24:43.780 We're, no Stern and Burnham

00:24:45.520 King Bumham, King of the North

00:24:47.880 King Andy, the first of his name

00:24:50.040 We went to Ukraine 0.99

00:24:52.620 Stood shoulder to shoulder with Zelensky 1.00

00:24:54.900 As long as it takes 0.98

00:24:55.760 Here's how to build cruise missiles

00:24:57.960 That you can shoot deep, deep into Russia 0.72

00:24:59.940 Don't worry about the million and a half men killed 0.96

00:25:04.280 On your side alone

00:25:06.020 Not including

00:25:07.000 Not including just the wounded

00:25:10.040 Outright dead

00:25:10.820 Don't worry about that

00:25:11.800 Just here's how to keep the war machine going

00:25:14.220 Russia said

00:25:17.340 Russia have taken away their

00:25:19.140 Their ambassador in London

00:25:22.140 And have said

00:25:23.300 Britain will pay a price

00:25:25.240 And what did

00:25:27.140 The latest thing

00:25:28.320 latest sort of soundbite for out of russia was something like um semi-military or like proto-military

00:25:35.520 i can't remember the exact wording or is it um they said it'll be a direct response what they

00:25:42.160 say like quasi-military something like that it's not clear whether it will be whether they'll do

00:25:48.640 anything at all or whether it will just be some sort of cyber attack or actual you know like

00:25:55.920 kinetic weapons like actual whether it's russian versions of cruise missiles or

00:26:03.620 just one of their ships firing on one of our ships or a little bit or who knows what it will

00:26:09.640 be who knows what it will be but russia said we'll pay a price there'll be a direct response

00:26:14.140 and they hinted at i can't remember the exact thing where they said quasi military or semi

00:26:19.700 military or something anyway i wonder what they'll do if they do anything it might just

00:26:25.520 will be bluster mightn't they might shoot down one of our aeroplanes over the baltic or something

00:26:33.680 where we fly sorties right up to their airspace they do it they do the same thing to us

00:26:38.240 fly their fascists right up to our airspace or even just inside our airspace we both we

00:26:44.080 do that to each other all the time have done since the cold war still do it to this day

00:26:48.320 whether it's over the skies near crimea or something or in the baltic or in the north sea

00:26:53.760 area, maybe a Russian jet will actually like fire a missile or something, who knows what

00:26:59.940 they'll do, maybe nothing, it might just all be sabre-rattling, all just like hot air,

00:27:09.260 but the Russians have said that, they've taken their ambassador, the full senior ambassador,

00:27:16.520 ordered him back to Moscow and said there will be a direct response and that we'll pay

00:27:20.900 price because we're now involved in this war he said like britain has persisted i would paraphrase

00:27:26.500 ever so slightly but very slightly they said something like we've persistently and maliciously

00:27:31.700 poured fuel on the fire that we've stopped peace negotiations i mean it's true isn't it

00:27:39.140 and when boris did that all the prime ministers since boris have been just been massively pro

00:27:47.380 ukraine anyway all right if you look at it from russia's point of view for a moment if

00:27:54.820 you're looking from putin's perspective

00:28:01.140 all right you may well not do anything because you know we are in nato

00:28:07.220 the united states has got our back probably

00:28:09.700 um if they were to actually fire on us in some way

00:28:17.300 that would give the warhawks in nato a reason to escalate things

00:28:27.100 it could get out of control real quick who knows who knows all right the express it's a good paper

00:28:37.160 If you can read your Express now

00:28:39.640 Express, pure globalist slop like all the rest of them

00:28:47.100 There's Dolly Parton then and now

00:28:49.760 Well not now

00:28:50.460 When she was young and when she was older 0.52

00:28:53.180 Dolly Parton, okay 0.95

00:28:54.120 Gould bless her

00:28:56.180 Okay, experts call for defence budget boost

00:29:01.500 As we step up support for Ukraine 0.94

00:29:03.720 Britain must prepare for Putin's threat 0.71

00:29:07.160 or just get i'll just have nothing to do with it or there is that that is also an option isn't it

00:29:11.980 the donbrass region why is britain putting itself in danger over the donbass region

00:29:21.420 okay see if i can find that quote about oh yes it's semi-military russia's veiled threat of

00:29:34.120 Quote semi-military quote action

00:29:36.260 On British soil

00:29:37.880 That's what the Russians said

00:29:40.120 Semi-military

00:29:40.920 What does that mean?

00:29:43.400 I don't know

00:29:43.820 It'd be nice to know that wouldn't it?

00:29:49.700 There's going to be a direct response

00:29:51.020 And it's going to be semi-military

00:29:53.000 Does that just mean like a cyber attack?

00:29:58.020 Okay

00:29:58.620 Nigella Lawson has joined

00:30:01.520 The Bake Off

00:30:03.340 Really?

00:30:09.620 Okay

00:30:10.080 The FT, the Financial Times

00:30:12.560 There's a place in Brazil 0.99

00:30:16.620 Asbestos town

00:30:18.100 With asbestos mines

00:30:19.840 Okay

00:30:20.300 Beijing threatens to strike back

00:30:23.440 If US sanctions on Iran

00:30:24.820 Hit China's interests

00:30:26.040 Hmm 0.99

00:30:29.100 Isn't it all ready?

00:30:31.260 Isn't it all ready?

00:30:33.340 why really does china care if iran survives or not because it's really a proxy for

00:30:41.520 the contest for global hegemon with the united states isn't it

00:30:47.860 obviously the great game by another name the great game in the 19th century power struggle

00:30:53.760 between imperial russia and the british empire in central asia that great game is there a new

00:31:01.760 version of that going on but it's really china and the united states now in the same part of

00:31:07.300 the world roughly that great game the devil's chessboard all right the metro oh gross oh gross 0.98

00:31:16.700 oh oh you're going to talk to me something about harry styles oh gross shut up go away 0.98

00:31:21.140 picture of uh freak harry styles don't care what he's talking about okay i'm not interested in that 0.98

00:31:29.540 It's still risky, but if you want to quit smoking

00:31:33.060 Switching to vapes is better than puffing

00:31:36.900 If you're a smoker and you want to quit

00:31:40.360 Don't bother with the gum or the patches

00:31:43.120 Just start vaping, says the Metro

00:31:45.480 Okay, pure slop, that's it

00:31:47.680 That's it

00:31:48.940 An increasingly absurd and infuriating front pages

00:31:54.160 In the British print media

00:31:55.820 Nothing really about Epstein again

00:31:58.180 you know nothing about manderson certainly nothing about the fifth baron rothschild

00:32:05.140 nothing about ehud barrack nothing about any of that nope okay okay 0.75

00:32:13.300 dolly parton died nigella lawson's on bake-off and you should vape

00:32:20.660 right all right let's have a look at the price of crude we check in with the price of crude don't we

00:32:25.860 on this show most days let's have a look what have we got here all right

00:32:32.340 remarkable isn't it brent crude just shy of 87 a barrel west texas just shy of 81 a barrel

00:32:39.460 that's about the price it was in at the beginning of february before the war in the persian gulf

00:32:43.380 started it's about the price shade higher shade higher remarkable to me

00:32:50.100 I would have bet a lot of money this wasn't the case

00:32:56.460 If you said to me at the beginning of February

00:32:58.480 That America and Israel are going to launch a big war

00:33:03.140 Quite a significant war against Iran

00:33:04.780 And it's going to last six months or more 0.97

00:33:08.300 Rumble on for six months

00:33:09.260 The Straits of Hormuz will be closed on and off

00:33:11.780 Largely closed for that whole time

00:33:13.940 What's your prediction of the price of crude oil?

00:33:18.300 and my options are about the same as it is right now 150 a barrel or 200 a barrel all-time hires

00:33:27.900 200 a barrel plus i'll say well at least 150 barrel option there at least probably much more

00:33:35.520 likely to be even higher like all-time hires surely no that stands to reason that makes sense

00:33:41.400 there's no way i'm out of those three options say there's no way i'm picking that the price

00:33:45.740 is about the same no way that that would not happen could not would not happen doesn't make

00:33:50.220 sense that so not that option and yet here we are and that's what it is though

00:33:53.920 well there you go what else can we say about it all right let's have a look at our poll we do a

00:34:01.540 poll don't we nearly every day try to nearly every day harry you have to bring that up for me oh you

00:34:05.560 might have already done it okay what have we got here um just shy of a thousand votes and we asked

00:34:11.740 you guys i was russia we asked you about russia do you think russia will actually attack britain

00:34:16.160 with kinetic weapons you know actual you know real life real life weapons a fast jet or an

00:34:22.720 air or a battleship firing a shell or a missile at us or something like real firepower not just

00:34:29.040 not just a cyber thing um 66 percent of you say no the nose have it yeah well and uh 11 percent

00:34:40.980 of you say yes, 23% of you say maybe, a chunk of you say maybe, I mean that's, if I took

00:34:47.860 this I would click either no or maybe, I'm not sure what I would do, I don't think I'd

00:34:54.680 be clicking yes, but it might happen, I mean I wouldn't rule it out, that's one thing I

00:34:59.400 would say as well, you know, it totally could happen, the 11% of people that voted yes,

00:35:06.980 You don't have to get out

00:35:07.940 I'm not throwing you out

00:35:09.500 You may well be right

00:35:11.460 You may well be right

00:35:12.380 I think if I was taking that poll

00:35:15.340 I'd probably vacillate between no and maybe

00:35:17.540 And probably end up clicking no

00:35:18.700 I think that's what I would do if I was taking that poll

00:35:21.520 Who knows

00:35:23.660 You really don't know

00:35:24.300 What does semi-military direct response mean

00:35:27.820 I think

00:35:30.520 If you look at it from Russia's point of view

00:35:35.520 it's not a good move for them is it to actually fire something at britain like a full nato senior

00:35:43.200 nato member the escalation that would permeate out from that could be disastrous it's not just

00:35:52.360 the british navy the tiny british navy it would become a nato problem then wouldn't it become a

00:35:57.560 NATO issue because if it really was just Russia versus just the UK Great Britain that's something

00:36:09.060 but it's not just Great Britain is it it's the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and

00:36:14.320 ultimately the United States so I guess I'd click no if it was me on that but the people

00:36:22.040 that click yes you might be right who knows we shall see I suppose well we will we will

00:36:27.060 Worrying

00:36:28.740 A little bit worrying

00:36:29.540 Even like you know

00:36:30.260 The possibility of it

00:36:31.200 It's a bit

00:36:31.700 A bit concerning

00:36:32.420 Alright

00:36:37.180 Alright

00:36:40.300 Let's have a look

00:36:41.460 What other stories

00:36:42.380 Did we have

00:36:44.020 Besides

00:36:44.640 The passing

00:36:46.020 Of Dolly Parton

00:36:48.340 What else did we have

00:36:50.660 Well there was one story here

00:36:52.760 One story here

00:36:55.200 Sudanese asylum seeker

00:37:02.660 Who arrived in the UK after claiming

00:37:06.240 After his claim was rejected in France

00:37:09.060 Lay in wait on the high street for lone woman

00:37:12.460 Before slashing her 30 times with a broken bottle

00:37:15.520 What are we doing here people? 1.00

00:37:20.780 The Sudanese 1.00

00:37:21.560 Very often it's the same few countries, isn't it, of people that do insane stuff 1.00

00:37:30.640 Afghanistan, Eritrea, Sudan, Pakistan 1.00

00:37:40.980 Another Sudanese one

00:37:45.900 Mentally, the first words that the lamestream media say 1.00

00:37:50.840 A mentally ill asylum seeker 0.97

00:37:53.280 Laying in wait for a lone woman 1.00

00:37:55.400 Before slashing her 30 times with a broken bottle

00:37:58.200 Ibrahim al-Bashir 0.99

00:38:00.340 Yeah, so

00:38:04.380 Look at that

00:38:05.540 Why is he

00:38:08.820 He admitted attempted murder

00:38:12.920 He didn't know her

00:38:16.060 He was just completely random

00:38:16.900 He was laying in wait for her

00:38:20.840 and he only stopped

00:38:24.360 because passers-by

00:38:25.160 had knocked him out

00:38:25.800 cold

00:38:26.180 that's why he's a bit

00:38:26.920 battered there

00:38:27.520 he wouldn't stop

00:38:30.660 they didn't stop

00:38:31.120 until they knocked

00:38:31.780 him out

00:38:32.200 she survived

00:38:34.700 she survived

00:38:35.440 they say he's got

00:38:36.780 schizophrenia

00:38:37.260 but then the judge

00:38:38.200 in the case said

00:38:38.960 oh he claims he's got

00:38:40.560 amnesia

00:38:40.940 he doesn't know

00:38:41.340 he doesn't remember

00:38:41.840 what happened

00:38:42.360 the judge said

00:38:43.440 no I don't buy it

00:38:44.480 I don't believe that

00:38:45.040 25 years

00:38:46.020 oh an indefinite

00:38:47.440 an indefinite

00:38:50.840 Hospital order thing

00:38:52.340 And 25 years

00:38:55.260 So

00:38:56.280 Hopefully he'll never get out

00:38:57.920 But I mean

00:38:58.600 Again it's the sort of person

00:38:59.600 That can't be trusted

00:39:00.600 Forfeited their

00:39:01.920 Right to life

00:39:03.280 In my opinion

00:39:03.900 For a crime like that

00:39:05.140 You're just hiding

00:39:06.160 Hiding in wait for someone 0.99

00:39:07.740 Some random woman 1.00

00:39:08.920 Then you try and murder her 1.00

00:39:10.440 With a broken bottle 1.00

00:39:11.220 What?

00:39:12.020 What?

00:39:12.960 What an animal

00:39:13.720 What an animal

00:39:15.340 Should never have been in our country

00:39:18.300 The French didn't want him 0.99

00:39:19.540 So he's

00:39:20.500 And his attempt to become French failed.

00:39:25.680 So he just got on a dinghy. 0.68

00:39:27.440 And he went to Birmingham, went and lived in Birmingham.

00:39:30.100 And a number of other places around the country.

00:39:32.040 Until he ended up in Leeds.

00:39:33.500 And then did that.

00:39:34.580 Oh, also, he sexually assaulted a member of staff at one of the places he was staying at as well.

00:39:42.080 On top of that.

00:39:43.320 And exposed himself to some other member of staff. 0.99

00:39:46.020 This is a monster. 0.99

00:39:48.420 A monstrous person. 1.00

00:39:49.120 Should never ever have been allowed in this country 0.85

00:39:51.720 Why was he here

00:39:52.560 Why was he here 1.00

00:39:53.980 That we just allow unvetted people 1.00

00:39:57.880 To come in 1.00

00:39:58.500 Why

00:40:00.640 It's because it's what they want isn't it

00:40:03.760 It is what they want

00:40:04.580 Alright

00:40:11.840 I'm on the podcast today so I can't be too late

00:40:14.360 It's already 22

00:40:15.420 Let's do on this day in history before we get to our Rumble Rents and Super Chats

00:40:18.740 Alright, on this day in history

00:40:21.300 Down through the centuries, nay the millennia

00:40:23.700 What happened of note on August the 26th?

00:40:26.000 What have we got here?

00:40:27.360 Okay, in the year 1346

00:40:29.140 The Battle of Crecy

00:40:30.280 Brilliant, brilliant

00:40:32.340 Do you reckon

00:40:33.960 Do you reckon that on my history theme show

00:40:39.920 Bodade's Epochs

00:40:40.980 That's behind the paywall on lowseaters.com

00:40:42.840 Consider signing up for this £5 a month

00:40:45.040 That would be Bonds Team Membership

00:40:46.140 That's what that will buy you

00:40:46.940 Access to everything that's behind the paywall

00:40:48.760 For the lowest tier of membership

00:40:50.560 Hundreds of hours without exaggeration

00:40:53.580 Quite literally hundreds and hundreds of hours

00:40:55.240 Of history themed content

00:40:56.860 Checking there's at least one video there

00:40:58.680 Where I talk all about the Battle of Cressy

00:41:00.340 In extraordinary detail

00:41:01.840 Yeah

00:41:04.960 There is, there is

00:41:06.540 That would be a good bet if you bet that that was there

00:41:08.980 Because it is

00:41:09.900 In fact I think I'll talk about it twice

00:41:11.360 I think I've got a whole bit of content about Cressy

00:41:13.620 And then another bit of content talking about Edward III

00:41:16.520 So talk about it again, at least in passing

00:41:18.560 Again, so

00:41:19.280 Yeah, Edward III

00:41:22.360 And the Black Prince 0.98

00:41:23.320 Oh, racist 0.99

00:41:25.360 Black Prince 0.99

00:41:28.900 He wasn't actually black

00:41:30.640 So that's cultural appropriation, isn't it? 0.82

00:41:35.920 Edward the Black Prince 0.66

00:41:37.260 Would have been Edward IV

00:41:39.440 But his own father, Edward III

00:41:42.180 Lived too long

00:41:42.940 To be really, really old

00:41:45.400 And his own son

00:41:46.300 The black prince 0.65

00:41:48.040 Who would have been king

00:41:50.200 He ended up dying in middle age

00:41:52.040 Of natural causes

00:41:53.720 One of the many men throughout history

00:41:57.680 Who would have been king of England

00:41:59.080 Should have been king of England by rights

00:42:00.800 By all natural rights

00:42:02.300 But just didn't make it 1.00

00:42:04.220 The black prince 1.00

00:42:05.640 Well he earned his spurs 1.00

00:42:08.260 At the Battle of Cressy

00:42:10.180 The famous Arrow Storm

00:42:12.220 Edward III's English longbows

00:42:14.380 To defeat Philip VI's army

00:42:16.880 South of Calais in northern France

00:42:18.500 Cannons are used for the first time in battle

00:42:20.840 Tiny cannons

00:42:22.800 Tiny, tiny cannons

00:42:25.340 Didn't make a giant difference

00:42:26.840 Really, tactically

00:42:28.100 In terms of the outcome of the battle

00:42:30.520 But anyway

00:42:30.900 It was a crushing, brilliant, brilliant victory

00:42:35.260 One of our greatest victories

00:42:36.460 Either the or the second most

00:42:38.920 Crushing victory of the Hundred Years' War

00:42:41.420 Perhaps Agincourt was

00:42:44.000 More

00:42:44.680 Yeah, Chris, you outnumbered two

00:42:47.680 Maybe three to one

00:42:48.880 Maybe slightly more, depending on the accounts you read

00:42:52.100 And we lost very few men

00:42:54.160 A couple of hundred men

00:42:54.960 And they lost thousands and thousands and thousands

00:42:56.840 Our longbowmen

00:42:59.140 Just the arrow storm

00:43:01.160 We took up a position on higher ground

00:43:04.060 And they kept trying to charge us

00:43:05.540 And we just kept mowing them down with arrows

00:43:07.140 They just kept charging

00:43:09.400 All day

00:43:10.160 In the 14th century

00:43:15.600 Or centuries later they still thought this

00:43:17.680 But in the 14th century they thought

00:43:18.820 If we were just braver

00:43:20.900 If we were just more gallant

00:43:22.060 If our charge is just delivered

00:43:26.040 With more dash and elan

00:43:27.960 We'll break through

00:43:29.920 It's to do with

00:43:31.100 It's to do with that

00:43:32.820 It's not to do with the physics

00:43:34.500 Of the numbers of arrows

00:43:37.420 That are incoming

00:43:38.360 well this is wrong isn't it that's just the wrong way to look at to look at that problem

00:43:48.000 how to dislodge a few thousand longbowmen of higher ground well we just need to charge harder

00:43:55.080 we just need to stick our chest out more and try harder just you sure about that all right

00:44:03.820 Battle of Cressy, great one

00:44:05.020 If you want long form content

00:44:06.760 Of me talking about that, it is there

00:44:08.820 On lotus eaters.com

00:44:10.240 On this day in 1682

00:44:12.520 English astronomer Edmund Halley

00:44:14.640 First observes the comet

00:44:17.180 Named after him

00:44:18.080 Halley's comet of course

00:44:19.500 Edmund Halley, one of the all time

00:44:23.280 Greats, one of the all time great

00:44:24.800 17th century astronomers

00:44:26.140 By that point, a lot of work

00:44:29.100 Has been done on lenses, on optics

00:44:30.920 And you know

00:44:32.720 So our human ability to look at the heavens closer and closer and closer

00:44:41.100 was coming on leaps and bounds.

00:44:45.060 Everyone Halley looks at and describes in various ways Halley's Comet.

00:44:51.480 All right, on this day in 1873, the first free kindergarten in the United States

00:44:57.180 is started by Susan Blow in Carondelay, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.

00:45:08.600 Okay, not much to say about that.

00:45:10.220 Just like, is it? Okay, good, I suppose.

00:45:15.000 Is anyone interested in the history of kindergartens?

00:45:20.540 Not really. All right, move on.

00:45:22.260 On this day in 1937, General Franco's nationalist troops

00:45:26.120 Conquered Santander during the Spanish Civil War

00:45:28.820 Which is right at the top of Spain

00:45:30.180 Right at the very, very top

00:45:31.680 Like the Galicia region, isn't it?

00:45:34.680 Galicia, anyway, right up there

00:45:36.120 Near the Basque region

00:45:37.500 Do you reckon I've got long-form content

00:45:44.840 All about the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s?

00:45:51.220 What's the betting?

00:45:52.260 That I sat down with big Harry Robinson

00:45:54.160 For a couple of hours

00:45:55.380 And talked all about Franco

00:45:57.220 And the Spanish Civil War

00:45:58.880 And George Orwell's homage to Catalonia

00:46:02.840 And loads of other things

00:46:04.500 All sorts of quotes from historians

00:46:06.860 Talking about it in quite a lot of detail

00:46:08.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:46:11.320 It is there, yeah

00:46:11.840 Don't bet against that

00:46:12.800 To ask you

00:46:13.960 If you bet it's there

00:46:15.580 Don't bet against that

00:46:16.500 Because it is there

00:46:17.840 It is real

00:46:18.380 It's true

00:46:18.880 Fascinating actually

00:46:21.940 i think the spanish civil war personating all sorts of ways um yeah all right um on this day

00:46:31.940 1959 british motor corporation introduces the morris mini miner designed by alec is he gone this

00:46:40.260 never heard of alec i've never heard of the designer of the mini but okay it was apparently

00:46:54.780 mini is not a bad little motor is it but the original one i think they're cute um bit of a

00:47:03.580 death trap i mean if you have any sort of high speed impact with it it's like you may as well

00:47:08.460 be sitting in an egg carton but they're cute aren't they sort of becoming more and more

00:47:17.600 collector's items these days aren't they they're rare and rare and rare i saw one on the road just

00:48:05.740 Can we say that?

00:48:06.500 Oh, I've said it now

00:48:07.120 Oh, it's happened

00:48:08.620 Why did you fly to Epstein's Island

00:48:16.260 So often Bill

00:48:17.300 What went on there Bill

00:48:20.540 Remember when Bill and Hillary Clinton

00:48:24.440 Went before the

00:48:25.800 Congressional hearings

00:48:30.440 And just said

00:48:32.460 Don't know anything

00:48:33.160 Don't know anything

00:48:34.940 We were sort of barely friends with him really

00:48:37.180 and whenever we were there or in his company or anything like that

00:48:40.780 never saw anything untoward never ever saw anything criminal remotely

00:48:45.160 and uh and and you're out of order for even asking us really we're angry that we'll have

00:48:52.160 to come here and answer any questions about it okay bill okay hillary and bill sure sure

00:49:00.480 all right let's have a look at our rumba rants and super chats

00:49:05.940 That's the time of the show

00:49:08.140 I nearly tend to

00:49:09.540 Do need to get away as close to 9

00:49:12.280 After 9 as possible really

00:49:13.500 I've got to sort out my segment for the main podcast

00:49:16.660 Alright Rumble Rants

00:49:17.860 Is today a good day with Global Church History

00:49:20.140 In at number 1

00:49:21.060 Yes he is in at number 1

00:49:26.800 Global Church History

00:49:28.720 Mr History

00:49:29.640 That's his real life surname

00:49:32.160 Is History

00:49:32.960 he said he usually gives us two factors what have we got here you tell us today in the year 1071

00:49:41.020 the romans lost the battle of mazikert making them lose anatolia to the turks

00:49:46.840 interest you say romans there you mean the byzantines the eastern romans are you one of

00:49:52.500 those people global church history just thinks of the byzantine empire as just a true genuine

00:49:56.500 continuation of ancient Rome. It's fair enough, by the way. I don't necessarily agree, but 0.98

00:50:03.880 it's a fair enough thing, though. I'm not going to lock horns with anyone that thinks

00:50:09.500 that and argues that, because it's not a completely unsound argument. Anyway, you're

00:50:14.660 just calling the Byzantines the Romans. Okay. They lost the Battle of Manzica. Yeah, it's 0.66

00:50:19.580 a big one. It's an important one. 1071. So it's before the First Crusade, that. It was

00:50:23.820 a big one, what's the guy, Aslan, it's against the Seljuk Turks, right, Apth Arslan, I can't 0.95

00:50:37.760 remember the guy's name, but anyway, yeah, this is the ascendancy of the Seljuk Turk,

00:50:43.720 isn't it, they come crashing out of Central Asia, crashing out of Persia and Mesopotamia,

00:50:50.660 further and further west, pushing the Byzantine frontiers further and further into Anatolia,

00:50:57.260 modern day Turkey. That battle of Manzikur was a big one. When the European Christendom

00:51:04.000 really starts taking note of it. Seljuk Turks are something different to the Fatimid Caliphate 1.00

00:51:15.440 and stuff so anyway anyway manzica a really important battle a lot of people in the west

00:51:21.800 might not have ever heard of it but it was a really pivotal thing you know a really pivotal

00:51:25.820 thing and it happened on this day interesting i did not know of course i don't have that

00:51:30.960 the date of that with its memory so interesting to know all right and the second factoid we've

00:51:35.560 got here you say in 1366 the roman crusader alliance retook gallipoli again you're using

00:51:43.420 the word Roman there to mean

00:51:44.780 the Byzantines, right?

00:51:49.200 Byzantine Crusader Alliance retook Gallipoli 0.99

00:51:51.640 right, well so 1.00

00:51:53.420 by 1366 0.98

00:51:54.800 the Byzantine world is very very

00:51:57.540 very much on the decline, isn't it?

00:52:00.440 you know

00:52:00.680 less than a century out from

00:52:03.420 the final collapse

00:52:05.120 of and fall of

00:52:07.100 Constantinople itself

00:52:08.260 and if you were to look on like a

00:52:10.760 time lapse map

00:52:13.420 the size of the byzantine empire it's just it's just getting smaller and smaller and smaller as

00:52:17.260 the decades go by or so and then you know maybe a little bit of a of an expansion again briefly

00:52:23.740 before and just slowly slowly until right at the end in the 1450s it's basically just constantinople

00:52:29.980 with a tiny bit of land around it that's yeah so in the 1360s you know lost guillipoli there but

00:52:39.260 But then, I'll retook it then briefly

00:52:40.540 But it's still just

00:52:41.780 Alright, okay, interesting

00:52:44.920 Thanks for that, Global Church History

00:52:46.320 Appreciate it, buddy

00:52:47.160 Appreciate it

00:52:48.780 Alright, the next one's

00:52:49.780 TomRat247 says

00:52:51.300 PR would create a permanent leftist coalition

00:52:54.140 Do you think?

00:52:55.240 I don't know, I'm not too sure about that

00:52:57.020 I mean, I know what you

00:52:57.860 Anyway, you say

00:52:59.560 A permanent leftist coalition

00:53:00.960 It would be Blairism on steroids

00:53:03.180 Heinleinism

00:53:04.460 Heinleinism

00:53:06.580 Fixes this, all of it

00:53:08.640 I know Tom Ratt loves his Heinlein.

00:53:12.380 I don't think PR would necessarily create a permanent leftist coalition.

00:53:17.680 It would depend how people vote.

00:53:19.480 I mean, it depends how people vote, doesn't it?

00:53:26.940 But I know you like your Heinlein.

00:53:30.520 Pushing the Heinleinianism wherever possible.

00:53:36.260 I respect the grind. 0.93

00:53:38.640 Okay, Fallen Firebird says

00:53:40.820 Speed limits can reduce congestion, revolutionary

00:53:45.160 You know what else can reduce congestion? 1.00

00:53:48.420 Not having tens of millions of foreign barbarians 1.00

00:53:51.420 Barbarian browns clogging up the country like a blocked toilet 1.00

00:53:57.780 Yeah 1.00

00:54:00.720 The fix everything button is to deport 10 to 20 million people 1.00

00:54:05.260 That shouldn't be here 1.00

00:54:07.000 Yeah

00:54:07.860 Nearly every problem to do with public policy

00:54:13.820 That our quality of life, the fabric of our society

00:54:17.840 Would be fixed

00:54:18.920 Not necessarily fixed, but helped 1.00

00:54:21.620 By deporting a few million people that shouldn't be here 1.00

00:54:25.360 Largely third world barbarians 1.00

00:54:27.700 That per capita have an insanely high rate of violent and sex crime 0.55

00:54:32.700 And organised crime

00:54:33.540 Yeah, you're right, Fallen Firebird

00:54:36.200 That would fix it, wouldn't it?

00:54:37.620 That would help it.

00:54:38.460 That would help the situation, certainly.

00:54:41.140 Okay, and the last Rumble Rant here is from Pigdog5150.

00:54:43.860 It says, did you hear about the machete fight between invaders in Cornwall?

00:54:47.860 Yeah, I did see a clip of that on my Twitter timeline.

00:54:52.160 Will you be uniting your Cornish men to save the Cornish in Cornwall from the invaders?

00:54:57.020 Seriously, why do we part up with this?

00:55:01.380 I mean, what can we...

00:55:03.520 I mean, you know, we're trying our best here at Lotus Eaters to get the news out,

00:55:07.160 But what could you

00:55:08.460 What can we do

00:55:09.180 I suppose you've got three options

00:55:21.420 Isn't it

00:55:21.860 You could

00:55:22.840 Try and advocate for change

00:55:25.360 Including on social media

00:55:26.960 Try and advocate for a political party

00:55:29.380 That has got

00:55:30.660 Policies that would

00:55:32.120 Address this sort of thing

00:55:33.280 You can do nothing 0.89

00:55:35.480 And sit at home like a moral coward 0.50

00:55:37.120 Or you can actually fight back 0.97

00:55:42.540 Form some sort of militia or whatever

00:55:44.260 People aren't going to do that

00:55:46.760 Very very few people basically know people are going to do that

00:55:48.800 Most people can't even summon the balls

00:55:52.080 To not be anonymous on the internet

00:55:53.840 Can they?

00:55:54.640 They're not going to do that

00:55:55.440 Why do we put up with this?

00:55:59.000 What are we going to have? 1.00

00:56:02.180 Cardres of our men

00:56:03.380 Roaming the streets with machetes of their own

00:56:05.720 In case the machete fight breaks out

00:56:07.280 It's not likely is it

00:56:09.360 So then your options are basically 0.97

00:56:13.100 Sit at home and do nothing like an absolutely spineless moral coward

00:56:16.440 Or do something, say something 0.70

00:56:18.720 Try and build something

00:56:28.000 They're sort of your options aren't they

00:56:29.480 You can always aim high and vote low

00:56:34.320 All right

00:56:36.440 Should we have a look at the YouTube ones

00:56:38.720 Harry can you do that

00:56:40.180 Okay

00:56:44.240 James Lee Pevenhole says

00:56:47.360 It's a swear word can I say it

00:56:50.960 It's a minor swear word but

00:56:52.480 I won't say it

00:56:53.940 You say you got told off

00:56:55.480 For spending pounds on here

00:56:58.280 My last 1.00

00:56:59.420 What your missus

00:57:02.080 What your partner or

00:57:04.020 your dad i don't know how old you are i don't know well um you got told off for spending pounds

00:57:10.080 on here my last oh well that's a shame not just because a little bit of money for the le coffers

00:57:15.540 but it's a shame to you send good super chats oh so it's only two quid

00:57:21.200 it's a direct appeal from me to whoever's holding the whip hand over james lee pevenhall

00:57:29.900 Let him spend a couple of quid if he wants to

00:57:31.960 No big deal surely is it really

00:57:34.240 In the scheme of things

00:57:35.240 If it makes him happy

00:57:36.440 Give him a break

00:57:38.300 Alright well if that is your last one

00:57:41.240 Sorry to hear it James Lee Pevernall

00:57:42.920 Really genuinely

00:57:44.660 You're gutted

00:57:47.100 Alright

00:57:51.300 The next one is

00:57:55.200 Wooten's Shield

00:57:58.520 It took me a while to read that

00:57:59.920 Because this is one long word

00:58:00.620 Wooten's Shield says

00:58:02.360 Ethnonationalism or extinction 0.94

00:58:06.440 Well 0.97

00:58:08.440 I have always said openly

00:58:11.120 For quite a long time now

00:58:12.060 There is an ethnic racial element

00:58:14.500 To our national identity

00:58:15.820 Being Scottish, English, Welsh or Irish

00:58:20.380 Northern Irish

00:58:21.500 There is an ethnic element to that

00:58:25.260 Yeah

00:58:25.500 You can't just come from Bangladesh

00:58:27.960 And be British 1.00

00:58:29.120 You're not 1.00

00:58:29.600 You're not 0.99

00:58:30.120 You can't just come from Albania 0.99

00:58:33.880 And now you're British 1.00

00:58:36.680 Once your foot steps on our soil 1.00

00:58:38.240 No you're not

00:58:38.820 No you're not

00:58:39.300 You can't just come from Japan 0.99

00:58:41.280 The second you step off the plane 0.98

00:58:43.260 And your foot touches England 0.98

00:58:44.500 You are now English 0.63

00:58:45.820 No you're not 0.99

00:58:46.380 No you're not

00:58:47.000 It's just reality

00:58:50.860 It's not crazy far right extreme madness

00:58:55.180 Nazi madness 0.92

00:58:56.480 No, that's reality

00:58:59.020 It's an extreme view to say the other way around

00:59:02.160 That someone from Japan or Bangladesh or Albania 1.00

00:59:05.520 The second they stepped foot on England 1.00

00:59:07.380 They're now British 1.00

00:59:08.480 That's an extreme view 1.00

00:59:09.920 That's a crazy extreme view

00:59:11.680 That has got no bearing on reality

00:59:13.640 That's nonsense, isn't it?

00:59:16.180 Isn't it?

00:59:16.640 You know it is

00:59:17.220 You know it is

00:59:18.400 Okay, Max Robe says

00:59:20.420 Russia's got an orange

00:59:22.220 Sorry, not orange, sorry 0.98

00:59:28.820 I don't know what that is 1.00

00:59:30.540 And it makes them feel greater

00:59:33.000 They'll see you sometime later

00:59:37.120 When they're through with their accumulator

00:59:39.640 I don't know what you're talking about

00:59:40.660 Sorry, sorry Max

01:00:03.360 five quid on that sorry max might be a really really clever esoteric reference and you're

01:00:10.460 making a really really good point it's lost on me i'm being dumb sorry sorry okay emily for

01:00:17.920 restore says not enough is made of uh johnson kiboshing an early russia ukraine peace deal

01:00:24.480 man has millions of deaths on his hand past and future stroke uh brackets boris wave yeah

01:00:32.700 boris johnson yeah you're right people don't talk about that enough i've talked about it

01:00:37.440 mentioned it half dozen times maybe a dozen times in passing yeah that was an insane thing

01:00:42.100 My list of traitors to this country

01:00:47.700 That should be held to account for their crimes

01:00:52.360 The list would read

01:00:54.440 The first two names on the list would be

01:00:56.500 Tony Blair

01:00:57.800 And then Boris Johnson

01:00:59.380 Maybe the other way round

01:01:03.520 Maybe Boris Johnson would be the top name 1.00

01:01:05.940 Absolutely insane traitor 0.97

01:01:09.660 The degree of his treason 1.00

01:01:12.380 His malevolence

01:01:14.420 Off the charts

01:01:16.080 Off the charts

01:01:17.380 Historical levels

01:01:19.200 Of betrayal

01:01:22.080 Least of all that

01:01:25.800 Well not least of all but you know

01:01:27.240 Turn a phrase

01:01:27.960 Yeah that

01:01:29.760 Why? Why did Boris care?

01:01:34.840 If

01:01:35.400 Ukraine and Russia were close to some sort of peace deal

01:01:38.100 In 2022 or early 2023

01:01:40.320 Whenever it was

01:01:41.000 But he stepped in

01:01:43.300 Saying no don't do that

01:01:43.940 Don't do that

01:01:44.320 That's not a good idea

01:01:46.100 Stop doing that

01:01:46.860 Why?

01:01:47.700 Why?

01:01:49.720 Reports were they were close

01:01:50.800 To some sort of deal

01:01:51.540 Right

01:01:52.220 At least some sort of ceasefire

01:01:55.060 No don't do that

01:01:57.720 Boris says

01:01:58.500 Alexander Boris Johnson

01:02:00.840 So no keep

01:02:01.700 Keep the slaughter machine

01:02:03.400 Ticking over please 0.57

01:02:04.500 Why?

01:02:05.700 Don't know

01:02:08.280 Don't know

01:02:09.300 Because you can't allow Mr Putin's aggression to stand

01:02:13.640 He might roll on to Minsk

01:02:15.080 And Warsaw

01:02:15.880 And Frankfurt

01:02:17.060 And Paris

01:02:17.780 It's just nonsense

01:02:22.160 Okay Mr Dickie Bingo

01:02:23.880 You put I smoke

01:02:26.880 But never in between cigarettes

01:02:28.860 Yeah

01:02:32.360 I'm a smoker

01:02:33.620 It's a dirty habit

01:02:34.980 It really is

01:02:35.700 You can feel

01:02:38.060 That it's unhealthy

01:02:38.800 You know like 0.99

01:02:39.600 Eating a kebab

01:02:40.260 Or whatever

01:02:40.600 You can feel

01:02:41.520 This isn't good for me

01:02:42.400 I like it though

01:02:44.040 Yeah

01:02:46.120 Almost certainly

01:02:46.580 Shortened my life

01:02:47.280 Bad habit

01:02:50.460 There it is

01:02:53.320 There it is

01:02:54.460 I'm a bit old school

01:02:55.780 I do think

01:02:59.620 In generations to come

01:03:00.980 They'll probably

01:03:01.760 Look back at smoking

01:03:02.860 It's just like

01:03:05.060 a crazy thing like a crazy thing that happened like sending little kids up chimneys or whatever

01:03:12.060 it's like really people used to do that what a different world that was what a crazy thing

01:03:17.000 i think they'll look back at you like that people used to race cars without seat belts

01:03:24.320 and without a proper helmet their helmet was just a piece of cloth and goggles that's crazy the

01:03:31.040 The people from yesteryear are crazy

01:03:32.620 We wouldn't dream of doing such a thing

01:03:34.120 I think future people look back on smoking like that

01:03:36.500 They did what?

01:03:38.480 They repeatedly inhaled particulate matter

01:03:40.800 Deep into their lungs and held it in

01:03:42.380 Really?

01:03:44.560 That's mental

01:03:45.360 I think that's how future people look at smoking

01:03:48.380 Probably

01:03:48.680 Okay

01:03:50.020 Principled uncertainty says

01:03:53.520 Why can't you make a paper model

01:03:57.620 Of Robert Michaels

01:04:45.800 He had catatonic schizophrenia to some degree 0.92

01:04:49.000 Some degree of it

01:04:49.860 And he's got a whole life hospital order

01:05:56.840 even all the way down in cornwall machete fights running machete fights in the street 0.60

01:06:02.740 that's just a thing now relatively common in britain once i'm relatively common i mean

01:06:08.740 really quite common we only get it reported in the lamestream media once in a blue moon

01:06:14.360 Well it's not even in the media is it, it was just on Twitter

01:06:16.320 But it happens all the time

01:06:18.060 All the time, machete fights 0.99

01:06:20.640 Between two gangs of foreign people 1.00

01:06:25.020 In our streets 1.00

01:06:26.500 It's disgusting

01:06:28.620 The people that have subjected this on us

01:06:32.220 The elite who allowed all these people in

01:06:35.560 Need to answer for that crime

01:06:37.420 That unspeakable crime against the people

01:06:40.400 Against the nation

01:06:41.340 Yeah I saw it for Tim Barber, yeah

01:06:45.140 Sickening. 0.98

01:06:47.720 You know, it's just the beginning, isn't it, of a sectarian nightmare. 1.00

01:06:53.480 Okay. 0.60

01:06:56.040 Tatum2733 on the YouTube Super Chat says,

01:06:58.560 This is how I think of it.

01:06:59.700 Roman Empire, 27 BC to 756 AD.

01:07:09.660 You put it as late as that.

01:07:12.220 27 BC, what is that? The Battle of Actium.

01:07:14.360 Or is that Augustus becoming the princeps

01:07:18.200 Augustus becoming Augustus

01:07:20.500 Oh sorry, Octavian becoming Augustus

01:07:22.680 Is it?

01:07:23.680 27 BC

01:07:24.400 It was when Octavian was

01:07:26.080 Became really, legally

01:07:28.300 The sole ruler of the Roman world

01:07:29.900 To 756 AD

01:07:32.640 You put it as late as that

01:07:33.700 Okay, alright

01:07:35.960 And then you put

01:07:36.800 Eastern Roman Empire

01:07:38.160 756 to 1204

01:07:40.460 Which is like the 4th Crusade, isn't it?

01:07:43.300 the fourth crusade 1204 when the frankish western knights got in and burnt down constant staple

01:07:49.960 you don't put it at 1450 oh never then he said by zentine roman empire 1261 to 1453

01:07:58.520 the final fall in 1453 at the hands of mehmed the second mehmed the conqueror and you've put

01:08:05.620 unconventional i know a little a little i wouldn't go by those exact dates but it's fair enough if

01:08:11.080 that's what you think that's how you feel there is no right or wrong answer you can make the

01:08:14.940 argument fair enough good on you good on you personally i'm one of those people i do feel

01:08:22.680 like the byzantine empire i've got i think i've got long-form content talking about exactly this

01:08:26.700 with iron age agriculturalist marcus good old aussie marcus um i've got long-form content talking

01:08:35.380 about exactly this question yeah yeah personally i do think of the buzz at the eastern roman world

01:08:42.740 after a certain point

01:08:47.300 certainly beyond the fifth century certainly beyond the fifth century

01:08:51.300 i see them as something separate to the romans it's a complicated thing right i mean they spoke

01:08:57.540 greek they thought of them wrote greek thought of themselves as greeks called themselves greeks

01:09:02.340 But yet there's loads and loads of layers of Roman-ness

01:09:07.380 To their culture and their civilisation 0.99

01:09:09.280 Still though 1.00

01:09:10.340 I mean to call them Eastern Romans is fair enough 1.00

01:09:17.220 My opinion 1.00

01:09:18.720 Well anyway we haven't got time to get into that

01:09:20.360 It's already ten past nine

01:09:22.040 I haven't got time to get into that

01:09:23.200 It's an interesting one though

01:09:24.240 Yeah correct okay

01:09:24.860 Okay

01:09:25.500 There's more of Titian

01:09:26.840 So now the third from last one is

01:09:29.820 Steany14

01:09:38.220 by a ukrainian drone i don't know who that is bradley townsend i don't know who that is sorry

01:09:44.800 is it possibly i did see in the news there was one british dude who went out there and fought

01:09:52.080 for russia and was killed i think he was the first brit to be killed on the battlefield for russia

01:09:57.700 Fighting on the Russian side

01:09:59.420 He's actually a British dude

01:10:00.680 Is that who that is?

01:10:01.640 I didn't remember his name

01:10:02.520 I've not committed his name to memory

01:10:03.720 Is that who that is?

01:10:05.120 Bradley Townsend

01:10:05.940 You say you went to college with him

01:10:15.740 Anyway

01:10:15.980 The penultimate one here

01:10:18.320 Tatum says

01:10:19.240 Why did

01:10:22.020 In inverted commas

01:10:23.700 Why did people smoke?

01:10:25.280 Crazy

01:10:25.660 And then the answer is

01:10:28.100 It felt nice

01:10:29.020 And then the response to that would be

01:10:30.400 Oh

01:10:30.720 It's a bad habit

01:10:40.520 Most people have got one or two bad habits in it

01:10:43.940 Even if you just sort of abuse food

01:10:47.100 You know that cramming cake down your gullet

01:10:50.600 All evening 0.97

01:10:51.540 You're morbidly obese

01:10:53.580 You know it's bad for you 0.97

01:10:54.740 You know it's bad 0.97

01:10:55.280 just killing you but it's nice

01:10:58.960 when you do hard drugs like you you intravenously inject heroin yeah you know it's bad you know 0.87

01:11:13.040 it's killing you it's going to kill you it just feels so good it's my only vice i'm really quite

01:11:20.320 Straight edge

01:11:20.780 I rarely drink

01:11:21.640 Very very rarely drink

01:11:23.300 Don't keep booze

01:11:25.460 In my house

01:11:26.360 In my fridge

01:11:26.900 I go out to the pub

01:11:28.600 Of course

01:11:28.860 I'll have a drink or two

01:11:30.020 I'm pretty close to

01:11:33.220 Not drinking at all really

01:11:35.060 I don't do anything else

01:11:37.400 Other than

01:11:38.940 A little bit of Golden Virginia

01:11:40.080 My diet's not great

01:11:44.460 But it's not terrible

01:11:45.180 It's more or less alright

01:11:46.400 It's really my only vice 0.98

01:11:48.560 it'd be good to kick it though probably would be good to kick it 0.98

01:11:53.840 can you kick it yes you can okay emily for restore last one here says fyi danny tomo is recruiting 0.97

01:12:03.800 oh oh i've only just really i'm only just becoming aware of this danny tomo if it's who i think he

01:12:12.320 is i only became aware of him for the first time like a week or two ago at most is this the guy

01:12:17.980 That actually is like

01:12:19.000 Forming some sort of militia

01:12:20.200 That guy

01:12:20.920 Or

01:12:22.120 LARPing as well

01:12:24.380 I don't know

01:12:24.760 I actually don't know

01:12:25.280 Much details

01:12:25.960 Don't have a go at me

01:12:27.940 For saying LARPing

01:12:28.900 I don't know

01:12:29.660 That might not be fair

01:12:30.600 That might be an unfair

01:12:31.320 Characterisation

01:12:31.940 I don't know

01:12:32.380 I'm barely aware of the guy

01:12:33.980 Is that the guy though

01:12:34.640 Isn't it

01:12:34.900 I think

01:12:35.320 In fact

01:12:36.660 Little Harry

01:12:37.040 Would you mind

01:12:37.560 Googling

01:12:38.400 Danny Tomo

01:12:40.180 It's the guy

01:12:41.080 I think it is

01:12:41.780 Um

01:12:44.660 Well

01:12:46.560 That is exactly the sort of activity

01:12:49.560 That if and when the state decides

01:12:51.680 Have I got this completely wrong?

01:12:57.760 Is this not

01:12:58.120 The Google images don't seem to be

01:13:10.440 Well anyway

01:13:11.160 Actually trying to form a militia

01:13:14.380 Is the sort of thing that the state

01:13:15.300 If and when they want to

01:13:16.220 will come down on you like a ton of bricks an absolute ton of bricks

01:13:21.600 at this point anyway

01:13:30.040 yeah i don't know enough about if that is the guy that you're talking about

01:13:36.000 i think it is i think it is actually just look at it now

01:13:39.140 i think that is and um i mean i should really look into it a

01:13:45.460 more looking to him a bit more before oh i will look into him more before i pass any sort of

01:13:49.060 judgment whether it's silly larping or whether it's sort of of real interest or not i don't i

01:13:55.860 don't know i don't know it's best to save judgment on things like that isn't it like a reasonably

01:14:01.860 serious thing i'm gonna go off half-cocked all right one more just popped in it's from

01:14:10.100 Carmichael cookie dough footjob

01:14:12.380 That's his name

01:14:13.600 At Carmichael underscore cookie dough underscore

01:14:16.440 Footjob

01:14:18.940 Says

01:14:19.660 I'm straight edge too

01:14:21.700 Except for the testosterone

01:14:23.580 Anavar, don't know what that is

01:14:25.340 Masteron, don't know what that is

01:14:27.840 Clembuterol, don't know what that is

01:14:31.040 And another word I can't even read

01:14:34.080 That I've never heard of

01:14:34.960 Retatritride

01:14:38.060 I don't know, I don't know

01:14:39.620 Are those all just, like, weightlifter, testosterone type stuff?

01:14:45.580 I'm guessing.

01:14:46.600 I'm guessing.

01:14:53.080 I've never heard of any of them other than, obviously, testosterone.

01:14:56.700 Okay.

01:14:57.840 I think Carmichael Cookie Dough Footjob is having a laugh with us.

01:15:02.480 And that is quite funny.
