00:01:37.300
there let's just get straight on with it all right what's the legacy corporate mainstream
0.53
00:01:39.920
media banging on about this morning uh okay oh so it's an age day isn't it it's an age day
00:01:46.420
more or less wall to wall nigel and reform so i guess get into it a few things happen just
00:02:29.420
Because it wouldn't allow her to campaign properly
00:03:18.940
all right let's get into it then the tory graph the daily telegraph
00:03:22.460
harry humbled in court should we do this first get this one out of the way a bit first
00:03:26.380
prince harry we talked about it yesterday didn't we prince harry and i think six other defendants
00:03:31.600
including uh there was a simon hughes mp there was elton john or was it david furnish i think
00:03:38.020
maybe both but anyway the the john family elton john uh there was sadie frost wasn't there liz
00:03:45.340
Curly some loads of hope a few high-profile people are taking them the
00:03:50.100
associated news or the Daily Mail they're taking the Daily Mail to court
00:03:54.660
over allegedly infringing their privacy and getting information about them in
00:03:59.380
illegal ways hacking even and the judge came back yesterday finally after months
00:04:05.740
like the case began for months a month came back and just found entirely in the
00:04:11.380
male's favor harry and his cadre of co-defendants or co-litigants uh completely and utterly lost
00:04:20.100
on all counts there's like 90 odd counts and they lost every single one
00:04:27.540
and the court costs might be like in well are in millions millions and millions of pounds
00:04:34.900
okay this sort of banner it's not the headline is it but the banner says
00:04:39.060
There isn't a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family, Harry
00:04:46.560
For him to complain about his privacy being invaded takes not just the biscuit, but the whole tin
00:04:59.120
In fact, let's have a quick look at the Daily Mail
00:05:04.260
Let's quickly skip to the front page of the Mail itself
1.00
00:05:13.740
This was nothing less than a conspiracy to destroy the Daily Mail
00:05:30.060
Or complete and obvious whitewash, he said, after the trial
00:05:33.280
that's the thing about trials and elections is just it it is what it is like you have to accept
00:05:43.680
the result at that point even if you don't like it i mean you can moan about it of course of course
00:05:46.940
of course but it is what it is that's like sort of the final that's the it's the final reckoning
00:05:52.180
really so okay vindicated say the mail in a 46 day uh 46 day high court case costing over 50
00:06:00.420
million pounds seven claimants including prince harry baroness lawrence stephen lawrence's mum
00:06:05.940
somehow got ennobled and elton john accused the male of 57 counts of illegal information
00:06:12.900
gathering i read somewhere else it was more like in the in the 90s but anyway they're saying here
00:06:16.740
57 counts of illegal information gathering over 40 of our journalists defending themselves in the
00:06:22.100
witness box and yesterday in a landmark ruling one of britain's top judges rejected every single
00:06:27.460
allegation okay harry and his lot say uh it's a whitewash it's not fair it was a stitch up
00:06:37.620
and the the press the mail saying no this is a win for press the freedom of the press
00:06:45.220
you make up your own mind on that one um have a quick look at the uh at the mail website as well
00:06:58.780
so front and center on the website of course this is nothing less than a conspiracy to destroy the
00:07:04.440
day mail thankfully a judge had the good sense to reject it but the enemies of a free press won't
00:07:14.580
One thing I'll say, because of course I haven't got a dog
00:07:18.300
Well not exactly, not specifically in this case
00:07:42.180
Because they certainly have crossed the line over the years
00:08:04.840
okay all right well in this case in this case the the courts have decided
00:08:14.220
in favor of the press all right it's probably the second biggest story today what's the biggest
00:08:21.700
story it's nigel nigel farage who doesn't care about demographic replacement that's what he
00:08:27.340
said didn't he to stephen edgington stephen edgington flatly asked him do you care about
00:08:42.660
Gloating about destroying anyone and everything
00:09:09.200
Who can't pack his party with enough foreign people, Nigel Farage
00:09:12.500
He says, his gamble turns to farce, says the Telegraph
00:09:19.640
Shall we recap a bit for anyone who might be out of the loop a little bit
00:09:34.540
Various other bits of money here or there he's made
00:09:55.780
do they expect something more than just a thank you from him
00:09:58.740
even though crystal harbour is like a isn't he even a billionaire even billionaires don't usually
00:10:07.300
give away five million quid gratis even if you are their friend they might have done they might
00:10:12.420
have done did harbourn expect something or do people do like a bullion company who gave
0.81
00:10:19.620
nigel loads of money did they expect something other than the work he did for them advertising
00:10:27.200
them they was there some sort of unwritten agreement that meant they would get something
00:10:37.740
more than just nigel's gratitude because if there is then that's corruption right and we don't know
00:10:45.540
might not be i've said all along haven't i i'm i'm prepared to give nigel the benefit of the
00:10:50.180
doubt up to a point up to a point but then it started getting a bit weird didn't it
00:10:55.540
in interviews when people are asking about like just it's getting all techy and eggy
00:11:00.740
aggy about it wasn't he he's like saying it's nothing to do with you uh well you are one of
00:11:08.500
the most high profile people you might be the prime minister so it's kind of something to do with us
00:11:12.900
it's nothing to do with you hmm about that and why are you being so weird about it
00:11:19.800
okay and then there was this uh i tried to play this clip yesterday but it didn't work did it but
00:11:26.720
um i think this was on monday maybe sunday night monday anyway he's just getting off a plane i
00:11:32.440
believe or is he at wimbledon oh looks anyway someone asked him well let's just watch this
00:11:37.740
clip let's just watch this clip and bear this in mind the questions might be not what Nigel wants
00:11:45.380
to hear or answer they are legit questions all right let's just watch this clip was it a mistake
00:11:51.320
not to declare the gifts from George Cottrell sir you tell your bosses you harassed my family anymore
00:11:57.140
and I'll take you with serious consequences that's what your organisation has done this morning go
00:12:02.060
away Nigel Farage's reaction to questions about the financial support he received from a convicted
00:12:07.420
criminal and didn't declare. So what's the story here? Well, the Sunday Times reports this man,
00:12:12.700
George Cottrell, paid for security and staff for Nigel Farage.
00:12:17.100
I'll take you with serious consequences. That's what your organisation has done this morning.
00:12:21.420
Go away. Was it a mistake not to declare the gift, sir?
00:12:25.020
Do you not hear me? You have broken all the rules, Leveson and everything else. Cut.
00:12:30.380
i wouldn't get up in someone's face like that i i would never unless i expected them to throw a
00:12:39.260
punch i wouldn't get up in someone's face like right up to their face telling them stuff like
0.93
00:12:45.520
that unless you want to be in a fight not that that journalist or nigel not that either of those
0.90
00:12:50.560
are actually going to throw a punch but that's pretty damn aggressive considering it's just
0.96
00:12:55.780
that journalist's job right i think why couldn't nigel be the old nigel like uh just
0.92
00:13:04.320
completely ignore it like the guy's not there that's classic isn't it all politicians do that
0.84
00:13:07.920
sort of thing just ignore it um or do the old yawn oh or just say oh there's nothing see i've
00:13:16.520
done nothing wrong without breaking stride what's that sky news well i've done nothing wrong yeah
00:13:22.060
but he does that he acts like that okay i've always said haven't i that this thing all his
00:13:27.620
finances stuff it's either a proper bad scandal and could be the end of him politically or it's
00:13:33.280
a complete nothing burger well it's now not a nothing burger can no longer claim to you know
00:13:41.000
to give him all the credit in the world you can't say it's a nothing burger anymore he
00:13:46.380
made sure of that because he came out yesterday about two o'clock yesterday did a speech was he
00:13:53.020
was he in milbank tower i think he's in milbank tower came out and did a little speech sort of
00:13:56.860
15 20 minutes long saying he resigns as mp of clacton but he's not he's not leaving reform
00:14:08.760
reform uk um he's not like leaving the country going off to america and going to make loads of
00:14:15.340
in america thing he's just resigning as an mp which will of course trigger a by-election there
00:14:32.060
now that's not completely completely unheard of it's quite rare but i mean didn't didn't um
00:14:38.700
didn't uh that davis uh tory mp do that a few years ago sometimes if it's something like that
00:14:45.340
if if you if an mp feels like their reputation is completely besmirched or something like that
00:14:52.940
or if they've lost the whip been thrown out of the party something it's rare but it does happen um
00:15:01.020
they'll call a by-election in order to go back to the people of their constituency
00:15:04.860
just to make sure sort of to make sure that they've still got their backing
00:15:08.780
and that they can claim that they're not sort of sitting like a cuckoo in the nest
00:15:13.180
in that seat when everyone wants them out and it's rare but it does happen um
00:15:20.860
okay so so nigel did that he pulled that gambit but
00:15:30.460
there's another problems with that it doesn't really for me and a lot of other people there's
00:15:36.140
some problems with that it doesn't answer the fundamental question like even if he does win
00:15:42.780
which he probably will almost certainly will this by-election and we'll get into why he sort of
00:15:47.740
definitely will in a moment or the other party's not standing we'll get to that um it doesn't
00:15:55.340
answer the fundamental question which is was there corruption was there a quid pro quo was
00:16:02.460
there anything nefarious about the money that doesn't answer that even if the the good people
00:16:08.620
of clacton return him to parliament that isn't answered is it nigel you can make the argument
00:16:18.560
nigel can and will of course make the argument that the people of clacton want me and that's it
00:16:24.560
that's the end of it there's a line under it there won't be a line under it no when this first
00:16:29.400
happened in a few minutes and hours after this first happened yesterday a lot of people even
00:16:50.480
If there's really, really, really nothing there
00:16:54.700
You're 100% clean of any wrongdoing on any level
00:17:04.160
I've not broken the rules one tiny iota that's his line that's his angle if that's true just
00:17:08.800
let the parliamentary uh watchdog thing play out all you need do is wait for that what's all this
00:17:18.560
about exactly misdirection key jangling or something it's framing it as us the people
00:17:28.400
reform people collecting reform voters us versus the establishment it's your chance to put two
00:17:33.120
fingers up to the establishment is it you sure about that you sure about that you're the establishment
00:17:42.280
night in many many many ways in all sorts of ways anyway i don't really see the angle like
00:17:50.720
he thinks it'll all go away it'll do this really even if the other parties were to stand but he'd
00:17:55.280
win that seat and it'll all go away sky news the time the sunday times will stop just asking
00:17:59.680
questions about the harbour money no like like the parliamentary standards committee investigation
00:18:08.640
thing will just stop and go away no it won't that's not how that works i tweeted yesterday
00:18:13.860
fairly soon after this i said how does this by-election change the past i.e. whether there
00:18:20.140
was anything nefarious and corrupt to do with the monies he's received either that is corrupt or
00:18:26.880
not if there is something dodgy there or not how does this by-election change that it doesn't of
00:18:33.120
course it doesn't you think the shield of oh i went back to the people of clacton and they returned
00:18:41.040
me so that's it like that shield is enough forever for all time no that the parliamentary
00:18:46.960
investigation into him stopped like i saw people on twitter saying oh well if he gets re-elected
00:18:51.840
in klaxon then the parliamentary investigation just ends it's a blank slate he starts again no
00:18:59.120
that's not how that works it's not remotely how that works where'd you get that from
00:19:11.520
oh all right there you go and it's a bit of a thing isn't it that whenever you uh whenever
00:19:20.320
a politician has to go up in front of the cameras and make a statement of, I've done
00:19:26.420
nothing wrong, even if it's completely and utterly true, you're already going down the
00:19:36.560
path of destruction. I think, for example, a slight parallel, ever so slight, ever so
00:19:43.880
slight parallel, with Richard Nixon to do with the Watergate scandal, which took ages
00:19:47.840
to play out the altercate scandal took like two years to play out something like that
00:19:52.320
or more was it even quite a while nixon would have to go on camera he went on camera like an
00:19:57.280
address to the nation three or four times five times even each time saying i've done nothing wrong
00:20:06.320
um and the more you have to say it even if it's true it wasn't exactly true in
00:20:12.400
in Nixon's case, but even if it's true, the more you have to say it, the judge is to have
00:20:18.640
to get up and say, get up there and say, I've done nothing wrong. The British people need
00:20:23.040
to know if Nigel Farage is a crook. Well, he's not a crook. Jesus Christ. Goddamn Disneyland.
0.69
00:20:44.040
I don't think it's a smart move, a good move.
1.00
00:21:06.700
But it's quite a good move from the rest of the parties
00:21:12.980
Look, Labour and Tories will not fight contests triggered by a reform leader
00:21:17.420
Who is facing investigation over millions in cash gifts
00:21:30.400
All of them have said, we're not going to stand in this
00:21:36.700
I guess when the reform leadership and Niaj heard that in the hours after his speech, I wonder what they thought. They must have thought, uh, uh-oh, oops. This whole gambit is backfiring. Well, it's turning into farce, according to the Telegraph.
00:21:57.000
Like this thing, it's your chance, people of Cacton
00:22:05.920
What establishment? None of them are standing against you
00:22:12.600
Binface is the establishment unity party now
0.97
00:22:22.420
When England is in its time of most perilous need
0.99
00:23:22.380
was a pale shadow of the anti-establishment hero.
00:23:26.980
I might just read this because it's got a fair...
00:23:32.140
Nigel Farage is angry, because that was one of the things he said.
00:23:34.660
He said, people have noticed I'm angry recently.
00:23:44.940
But was it the one where he was seen banging the pots and pans for the NHS?
00:23:49.260
it's known to be one of his houses the apparently the reporter knocked on the door it's really early
00:23:53.640
in the morning actually quite inconvenient i think it's before 8 a.m someone knocked on the door
00:23:59.300
trying to find nigel for to doorstep him to ask him something but nigel wasn't there and his daughter
00:24:04.020
opened the door and that's made that's made nigel fantastically angry he's trying to say that
00:24:10.440
they're like putting his daughter's safety and security in peril and stuff i mean it's not ideal
00:24:19.080
it's not nice it's not but it's it's not something worthy of calling a by-election over uh in my
00:24:26.560
opinion it seems like he's blown that up a bit more like we saw that clip when he was at was
00:24:32.860
it an airport or was it wimbledon i don't know that clip where he gets right in the sky news
00:24:36.060
reporter's face you've you've put the leveson you've put my family in danger how dare you it's
00:24:41.260
like calm down they're trying to find you they weren't trying to won't try to dox your daughter
00:24:54.000
We know this because yesterday he went to great lengths to tell us
00:25:12.260
A national newspaper had published a photo of a house
00:25:16.240
oh it was actually her house was it apologies if i got that wrong i thought it was one of his
00:25:20.140
houses i think he does own it and she she and her partner rent it oh i don't know it's not really
00:25:25.400
that important is it a house incidentally that farage himself had happily posed in front of for
00:25:30.560
photographs previously oh there you go and a broadcast journalist had knocked on the door
00:25:35.820
of a family member whilst apparently trying to inquire about his whereabouts he is also furious
00:25:40.120
at the fact that he was being asked questions about his personal finances making money is not
00:25:44.520
a crime he insisted furiously that's true isn't it that's true it is a bit pinko and lefty for
00:25:52.220
the media and other politicians like the greens or whatever to be all butthurt that anyone makes
00:25:57.460
any money ever yeah that is weird and gross and i'm just not wrong there okay the really big
00:26:02.380
question that i want to pose is do we want leaders that know how to make money do we want leaders
00:26:08.940
who have run businesses employed people and under and understand how the world works well
00:26:14.320
Yeah but that's not really what's the question here is it
00:26:36.740
He's under investigation for accepting a stagnant £5 million gift
00:26:43.800
Not declaring it, then telling the voters that legitimate questions about what he himself boasted was a lottery win
00:26:52.360
He's also facing separate questions over accepting staff security and a flat near Buckingham Palace
00:26:58.140
From an acquaintance called George Cottrell, a.k.a. PostGeorge
00:27:01.420
Who is a convicted fraudster and recently published a book titled How to Launder Money
00:27:06.720
Apparently at the Gaunton, one thing I read the other day
00:27:41.300
Okay, it's a worry that you have to come on TV and say that
00:27:48.700
Then it's fine, you know, tweet it out or something
00:28:25.900
If not the most, certainly one of the most, yeah
00:28:34.080
When he said that to Edgington about demographics
00:28:39.760
He's going to capitulate to Islam because otherwise we lose.
1.00
00:28:46.000
Yeah, I don't want one hair on his head to be harmed.
00:28:51.480
Yeah, if he knows a billionaire who can give him £5 million to keep him safe.
00:29:02.240
This was why he needed millions of pounds for his personal security.
00:29:05.340
he used the example of an occasion when his car was surrounded and written off by a hostile mob
0.77
00:29:09.800
yeah yeah good nigel should be protected person his person should be inviolate
00:29:17.220
like a console or a pro console or a creator
0.81
00:29:24.060
or a tribune tribune of the people their person is sacrosanct
00:29:35.340
um though in the midst of his justifiable anger at his at this appalling incident i.e his car
00:29:42.140
being hounded out of a a restaurant or a pub or whatever it was and his car battered
00:29:47.820
yeah pooling instant he seems to have forgotten that this that two of his parliamentary colleagues
00:29:53.020
joe cox and david amis were murdered during the course of their public duties what do you mean
00:29:57.900
dan i doubt nigel frange did for he has forgotten that in fact of course he hasn't forgotten that
00:30:03.260
why are you throwing that in there classic dan hodges yeah
00:30:13.500
a little disingenuous bad faith little me thing to throw in there
0.54
00:30:18.700
nigel seems to forgotten about david amos and joe cox has he no he hasn't of course he hasn't you
0.83
00:30:22.780
know he hasn't dickhead and that in a nutshell was the problem with yesterday's piece of political
00:30:31.500
street theatre. Nigel Farage claimed his decision to give up his Clackton seat and call a by-election
00:30:36.760
in which he will stand was all about David fronting up to the establishment Goliath.
00:30:48.860
Nigel being David and the establishment being Goliath of course. And a fresh mandate would leave
00:30:53.460
him free to finish his populist revolution he insisted. Nigel isn't a populist he made it clear
00:30:58.380
he went to pains in fact to say there's nothing of the sort but all right dan hodges characterise
00:31:04.800
it as a populist revolution but it wasn't really about any of those things now we get into it
00:31:10.700
here's the sort of take that i agree with from hodges
00:31:14.100
nigel farage's statement was about one thing nigel farage
00:31:19.120
or to be more accurate someone will someone who currently calls himself nigel farage
00:31:27.040
Because the self-pitying, evasive and frankly boorish figure we saw yesterday
00:31:31.600
Was a pale shadow of the engaging, irreverent swashbuckler
00:31:36.140
Who has spent the past decade cutting a swathe through the British political elite
00:31:40.760
His speech could have very simply been boiled down to two words
00:31:53.760
the parliamentary standards commissioner left-wing thugs the editor of the times
00:31:59.160
in Farage's eyes just about everyone in British politics is to blame for his political woes other
00:32:04.060
than him yes his tightly controlled and choreographed a media appearance will inevitably
00:32:10.780
garner rave reviews amongst his social media cheerleaders yeah I'm trying to spin it like
00:32:16.100
this isn't really terrible like this isn't now some sort of open wound like it's actually great
00:32:21.920
It's a brilliant piece of political theatre, an amazing move.
00:32:28.540
Or is it a big wound that he just opened up further?
00:32:41.780
He will inevitably be re-elected in what is effectively the safest reform seat in the entire country,
00:32:47.560
Especially given the major parties will not be standing
00:32:50.740
And his only serious competition will be from the intergalactic space warrior
00:33:00.680
Because it will not address any of his or Reform's basic structural problems
00:33:05.520
Yeah, it doesn't address the crux of the matter
00:33:12.420
Through his infatuation with wealthy ex-lags
0.99
00:33:18.960
Ex-criminal people, that means, if you don't know
0.80
00:33:23.760
Faraj now appears to be in politics primarily for himself
00:33:27.280
Rather than any of the causes he used to so boldly champion
00:33:30.460
His regurgitation of clichéd anti-press tropes
00:33:36.760
Simply reinforces the impression that he has something to hide
00:33:41.360
i'm not a crook how many times have to say that before it's like well you get it um and his
00:33:50.380
increasingly tired rhetoric and demeanor is rapidly rapidly propelling olukhemu badenok
00:33:56.560
into pole position as the standard bearer of the insurgent right we'll see about that
00:34:03.060
are you sure about that we'll see about that uh which is why farage's attempt to deflect from all
00:34:09.900
this by using the voters of Clacton as his human shield is doomed to fail. I don't know if it's
00:34:14.620
doomed to fail but yeah I wouldn't be surprised though if the the whole gambit backfires essentially
00:34:27.340
The British people will look at the man taking his ego for a spin along the east coast,
00:34:32.060
compare it to the one who fought so tirelessly and tenaciously to free his country from the
00:34:36.380
the tentacles of Brussels and ask each other, who is this imposter? Nigel Farage is meant to be a
00:34:44.580
populist warrior. Again, he said he's not a populist. The embittered crybaby who hid behind
00:34:50.080
his podium and his advisors yesterday and raged at the world is anything but, to use a phrase he
00:34:56.200
and his supporters are very keen on, he has turned into British politics biggest snowflake
00:35:02.660
And the heat generated by his sleazy dealings and relationships
00:35:26.900
There was one way Reform's leader could have sought to transform his political fortune
00:35:32.160
i agree with what he's about to say here come clean
00:35:35.440
is the five million pound gift for security as initially claimed or something else as as he and
00:35:45.440
his allies implied in a series of car crash interviews last week what is the true nature
00:35:50.820
of his relationship with posh george cotrell what other undisclosed gifts gifts from mystery
00:35:56.940
benefactors are floating around yeah come clean the full hangout if nixon had done that when the
00:36:03.980
watergate scandal broke he's on his way back from china or russia or an airplane when it broke
00:36:10.060
nixon didn't order the plumbers to do that if he just come clean at that moment and just said oh
00:36:15.340
something dodgy has gone on here let's just completely find out what it is even if it's
00:36:19.980
embarrassing to me in the presidency he ultimately he wouldn't have had to have resigned a couple of
00:36:25.180
years later. He didn't do that, he just lied about it and continued to pretend he hadn't
00:36:34.000
done anything wrong on any level ever. Hodgie says, but Nigel didn't come clean. Instead
00:36:41.300
he's running away, running away from the scrutiny, running away from Parliament's sleaze watchdog
00:36:46.640
and hoping that amidst the circus of the upcoming by-election he'll be able to slip away into
00:37:12.080
Alright, that's enough from Dan Hodge for one day
00:37:58.680
Farage's rivals rule outstanding in Clacton by-election
00:38:13.220
Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats
00:38:17.540
have all ruled out contesting the Clacton by-election
00:38:22.560
The Reform UK leader said that having announced his resignation,
00:38:26.780
he would refight the Essex seat in what he billed as
00:38:30.240
a people's versus the establishment by-election.
00:38:37.420
the people of Clacton should be the judge of my actions.
00:38:45.420
Well, apparently, I don't know if this is absolutely true,
00:38:52.940
to be interviewed by the parliamentary investigations process.
00:39:03.400
And that if he's not a sitting MP, he does avoid that.
00:40:11.700
and accused Farage of throwing a political tantrum as a distraction.
00:40:17.180
It does feel a bit like that, actually, doesn't it?
00:40:20.920
I'm loathe to agree with Yvette Cooper and Mrs Ed Balls on anything,
00:40:26.120
Nobody is going to get drawn into what is a political stunt by Nigel Farage
00:40:29.980
because he wants to duck and dive around the rules that apply to everyone,
00:40:36.180
Farage on Tuesday said he had done nothing wrong in regards to his finances.
00:40:40.180
Conservative leader, Nigerian woman Olukemi Badenoch
1.00
00:40:43.640
Whose mum just came over to use our NHS, real scumbag move
1.00
00:40:46.660
Said her party would not participate in the fake election
1.00
00:40:52.200
Which Nigel Farage is causing to distract people from what is happening
00:40:56.340
The Liberal Democrats urged the government to block Farage's resignation
00:41:17.760
Many of the things he says and advocates for are completely illiberal, in my opinion
1.00
00:41:21.980
Like flooding our country with foreign people
1.00
00:41:26.080
To the point of demographic decline and destruction
1.00
00:41:30.980
The Liberal Democrats urged the government to block Farage's resignation
00:41:33.940
Until the standards investigation had concluded
00:41:41.520
Bad argument, it's not a silly argument, is it?
00:41:47.620
We shouldn't be playing Mr Farage's game to escape justice
00:41:51.200
Party leader Sir Davy told BBC Radio 4's Today programme
00:42:05.880
But would do so if a second by-election was ultimately triggered
00:42:09.000
by the standards inquiry the Green Party of England and Wales initially said it would be a
00:42:13.560
decision for the local party later Green MP Hannah Spencer told BBC Newsnight local members had
00:42:19.660
decided not to field a candidate and I said they called him like a grifter I think somewhere I can't
00:42:24.660
remember if it was Zach Paulden sorry Zach Polanski real name Dave Paulden and I'm not sure if that was
00:42:32.440
a quote from David Paulden but he said someone called him a grifter and then it says comedian
00:42:50.680
Surely his name was already out there. It's not a true doxing.
00:43:46.740
The idea that you must never ever ever cut spending
00:44:36.100
shock by election arrival parties won't field candidate let the people be the judges of my
00:44:42.100
actions okay the ir paper i won't read the blurb because it's everything we've gone through
00:44:48.080
everything of note more or less i won't read the blurb it's the same thing water will nigel
00:44:52.560
nearly today the financial times there you go nigel it's a fake election
00:44:56.980
bid to forestall funds inquiry vanity project dismissed that's a quote someone's called it
00:45:10.380
Although all of reforming is a vanity project, of course
00:45:19.400
Because the big NATO thing is going on at the moment, isn't it?
00:45:24.100
And Trump, of course, is like the big dog on the stage at NATO
00:45:34.200
um particularly at nato just certainly and the other thing in the news cycle is he's
00:45:40.920
keep he's talking about greenland again not invading it or annexing it but buying it
00:45:45.720
so he's talking all about greenland again but this time you can just buy it from denmark
00:45:56.580
Trump and people at the State Department and Pentagon
00:46:06.960
They do consider Greenland sort of strategic importance
00:46:10.560
And they're probably, well they're not wrong really
00:46:25.980
massively exaggerating that for no good reason probably five or six people on twitter or people
00:46:32.440
that are subscribers to lotus eaters at least five or six maybe seven or eight actual danish people
00:46:40.900
say that greenland is like a millstone around their neck it's it's annoying to them it's a
00:46:47.520
difficult appendage to them they they haven't really got the money to endlessly do infrastructure
00:47:23.320
hasn't got the money and the infrastructure and the military and the navy to do that
00:47:28.780
all right fraud is five million pound gift all right we've done it haven't we we've done all
00:47:33.640
that the metro oh the metro gross fraud is big uh bid uh buy election gamble okay the times
00:47:44.660
are venerable times there's harry losing his court case and tories and labors uh won't fight
00:47:50.960
the fake contest okay in the mirror mirror say because they they hate they've got the most
00:47:56.460
farage arrangement syndrome of anyone really haven't they the mirror a farage quit fiasco
00:48:02.720
they're calling it a fiasco desperate humiliation as main parties snub contest yeah a little bit
00:48:11.260
i wonder what the feeling was at reform high command when it came through that the parties
00:48:21.040
Must have been a little bit of a sinking feeling
00:49:03.280
He was able to say that Farage is up to his neck in sleaze
00:49:57.620
We'll do our poll at this point in the show, don't we?
00:50:15.540
and the eyes have it 81% of you say yes 19% of you say no
00:50:25.780
or expand the chosen few you know what you're doing you know what you're talking about
00:50:30.340
it kind of is well i feel like the the response by all the other parties to not stand there
00:50:37.200
that's what makes it a farce right i mean it's already an odd strategy an odd gambit
00:50:44.640
slightly odd as i say doesn't address the crux of the matter but where all the parties are not
00:50:50.140
even going to stand here other than count bim face first of all bim face go bim face
00:50:53.200
uh that's what makes it a real sort of fast doesn't it okay all right there we go
0.55
00:51:03.900
should have a look at the price of oil oh because there's all sorts of stuff going down in iran and
00:51:09.740
the straits of hormuz as well in this news cycle for britain at least no one's really talking about
00:51:16.380
that but yeah apparently is uh over the last few days people seem to really really not care much
00:51:23.020
about iran now don't they anyway apparently iran fired on a few ships in the straits of hormuz
00:51:31.040
the united states fired all different things back into iran as many as 18 different targets
00:51:36.960
the news is saying don't shoot the messenger that's just what has been reported and then
00:51:41.460
iran shot back at u.s bases u.s assets in places like bahrain
00:51:45.300
the price of oil has gone up a little bit what west texas 72 knocking 73 dollars a barrel
00:51:57.780
rent crude 76 getting up to 77 dollars about 76 and a half dollars a barrel so again still lower
00:52:05.460
than when the war started in february but it's actually ticked up a bit on the back of the last
00:52:10.500
couple of days exchange of fire okay all right we actually covered uh uh most of the other really big
00:52:21.300
stories i wanted to talk about today uh as we were going along here oh uh other than just a few words
00:52:27.540
about marine le pen marine le pen um jordan bardella most affected because it was going to
0.78
00:52:39.060
be if she didn't run her deputy that 30 year old french man jordan bardella or jordan bardella
00:52:51.140
was going to run instead and almost certainly win well not almost certainly but kind of likely to
0.77
00:52:56.020
win odds on just about to win and become the next president of france but now le pen herself has
00:53:04.360
decided she is going to run even with a campaign at least with an ankle tag on he won't then so
00:53:13.100
he's most affected by della most affected okay at least he is slightly more um favorable in the
00:53:24.100
polls than her only slightly but rn national rally at the party um the polls say that if he
00:53:33.540
were to lead it into the presidential election he'd probably do slightly better but they'll
00:53:38.640
definitely get rn will definitely get to the second round of the presidential vote and then
00:53:42.840
it'll be oh it's a head-to-head isn't it probably with a socialist an actual socialist as well not
00:53:48.640
just sort of a lefty social democrat but an actual socialist probably as you see it's not
00:53:54.760
till may next year and then possibly i don't count my chickens well they're hatched but
00:54:02.620
possibly hopefully probably the odds are on that rn and marine le pen will win that and she will
00:54:09.580
become madame president will she not probably we'll see all right there we go that's the news
00:55:16.280
Pronouncy of membership if you want to hear that
00:55:28.880
A few hundred hours, alright, the first crusade
00:55:34.240
That they made it out of Antioch and got to
1.00
00:55:36.960
Massively against the odds that they got into
0.69
00:56:06.020
And becomes the first European to reach India by sea
00:56:10.220
You might have thought people had achieved that
00:56:14.680
First Europeans, of course, like the Arabs
1.00
00:56:28.820
I actually talk for a while, a little bit about Vasco de Gama
00:56:36.740
On this day in 1777, independent Vermont introduces a new constitution prohibiting slavery
00:57:36.500
Opening up Japan to western influence and trade
0.96
00:58:12.460
they would only allow a very very small number of people
00:58:40.180
the united states are like uh no japan is a massive market and a worry and a concern
00:58:47.140
so our modern ships still hold ships with cannon on them
00:58:52.760
uh we're just going to sail straight into tokyo bay because japan have only got like wooden junks
00:59:00.820
there's literally nothing they can do to stop us commodore matt perry not chandler from friends
00:59:09.280
not that matt perry i think they were related there's two matt perrys of note in history
00:59:15.940
chandler and commodore matthew perry of the mid-19th century um yeah america just and
00:59:24.020
and matt perry settled into tokyo bag saying you're trying you're trading with us now
00:59:27.420
yeah we are we are opening up your society now how do you like that what can you do about it
00:59:33.260
you can't do anything about it you cannot touch our ships effectively you send your entire navy
0.93
00:59:39.220
against us we'll just pick you off one by one by one like shooting ducks in a barrel no problem
0.99
00:59:44.500
so you're trading with us now right yeah good good it profoundly changed japanese society
0.96
00:59:52.180
as you can imagine it put a zap on their head and they're like oh
00:59:57.380
right we've got to join the modern world okay the fallout from that in all sorts of ways
01:00:36.440
Interesting to you if you're a Russian orthodox
01:00:45.240
South Africa's Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act
01:00:53.100
Or sexual relationships between white people
0.61
01:01:52.080
Sometimes just put the tyre just round their neck
01:01:55.020
And then watch them turn into a blackened lump
0.99
01:03:02.680
Wasn't in yesterday, do you think you'll be in today?
01:03:34.240
Okay interesting is that right at the end of like
01:03:55.020
in the mid-fifth century, Pope Leo I, Leo the Great, met with Attila the Hun to convince
01:04:02.360
him not to attack the city. Not long-form content about that. It's a massive turning
01:04:09.360
point in history. The church ever since said that was like divinely inspired and God wanted
01:04:14.540
it that way. The reality was that probably, probably, Attila the Hun was only ever there
01:04:36.220
Really needed money at that point in his campaign
01:04:50.140
I mean, at that point in history, Rome was difficult to sack.
01:04:55.400
Although Alaric and the Goths had already done it, hadn't they, by that point?
01:05:00.340
But Rome was a particularly difficult, large and difficult prospect.
01:05:06.560
I mean, even Hannibal found it difficult. Hannibal never did, did he?
01:05:14.080
Anyway, the Pope gave Attila the Hun an offer he can't refuse.
01:05:19.720
I.e. loads and loads and loads of gold and silver
01:05:48.460
i know loads is that a typo you've put i know loads fox and bin face don't have a lot of chance
01:05:55.960
in clacton fox what is lawrence fox gonna do something is that i don't know what you mean by
01:06:01.560
fox um don't have a chance in clacton but wouldn't it be funny if one of them
01:06:07.340
uh won over farage i'm still waiting for rupert on rogan too yeah i don't know when the rogan
01:06:14.140
thing comes out exactly i'm afraid i couldn't tell you on that um now i'm waiting for that
01:06:22.440
Everyone in the sphere will watch that, of course.
01:06:26.840
Yeah, Count Binface obviously won't win against Nigel.
01:06:29.520
He probably won't get more than a few hundred votes, but...
1.00
01:06:39.000
Okay, Local Mosque Futurism, that's what they're called there, says...
1.00
01:06:45.780
i am the mortal nemesis of the diabolical mr global church history what what's going on here
01:06:53.500
and i will be usurping his throat thrown from this moment what the gauntlet has been thrown down
0.50
01:06:59.840
watch your back mr history whoa whoa stuff just got real
01:07:06.040
i would say this though mr futurism first name local middle name mosque last name futurism i
01:07:15.620
Wood says you've got to get up early in the morning to beat Global Church History
01:07:22.200
I mean, this morning, he's posted there at 6.47am
0.81
01:07:29.600
Unless you live to the west of us, you live in Germany, sorry, east
0.84
01:07:43.100
Wow, Global Church History, how do you feel about that?
01:08:45.100
okay okay uh fictages says saying are you sure about that three times in one show
01:08:55.100
is too much oh question mark is it too much you're asking are you sure about that
01:09:16.760
let's have a look, oh Harry's already done it for me
01:09:23.320
let's quickly, let's start reading them out then
01:09:58.580
to the point where younger people got no chance.
01:10:21.840
A three-up, two-down, semi-detached, 800 grand.
01:10:30.580
so yeah the house prices hopefully and rents would come down
01:10:41.380
oh uh rumble rent just come in from 14 barbers saying we saw a
01:10:47.340
lots of fox said he was going to stand sorry for the typo all right lots of
01:10:53.920
Fox. Okay, right. He put loads Fox. He made lots of Fox. Lawrence Fox is going to stand, is he?
01:11:00.580
I thought he said he'd sort of, I thought he said he'd sort of joined, or was at least
01:11:05.900
affiliated himself to Restore. Have I got that wrong? He's not going to stand for Restore,
01:11:13.240
is he? So he just stands as an independent, maybe? That would be funny. I'm not lots of
01:11:20.060
Fox's biggest fan although I don't despise him or anything close to that but that would be funny
1.00
01:11:26.120
I'd get behind him just to screw with Nige okay Mr. Gently Benevolent says unacceptable amount
1.00
01:11:37.840
of foreign babble bow oh la la la buff it's funny once or twice I've said like what I said I've said
1.00
01:11:55.400
We come here to get away from foreigners if anything
1.00
01:12:07.920
A super chat right at the very very end of the stream
01:12:09.760
It came in once I was already starting to wind down
01:12:15.740
a little bit of civ4 chat sidemeyer's civilization 4 chat i talked about sorry i missed that one but
01:12:21.740
if i've started my rundown monologue it's too late really to interrupt that so i think it was
01:12:29.100
you wasn't it anyway okay mr dickie bingo how are you sir met him in real life really nice chat
01:12:36.140
quite funny on twitter and all sorts he says french question mark exclamation mark i'd rather read
01:12:43.020
the guardian if we're not like liking the french i get it i get it one time ever won't do it again
01:12:53.500
or maybe once i'll leave it like a year or two might do it again probably won't do it again
01:12:58.620
don't worry about i understand we're english here english speakers okay verity gwir
01:13:06.380
Gweer, Verity Gweer, says, ideally, this five mil, five million quid, would be a payoff
01:13:16.440
for Farage to F himself up, lose Claxton so that reform would be unelectable.
01:13:27.420
it could lead to like it could lead to nigel the scandal just ballooning and ballooning and
01:13:36.080
ballooning as far as nigel and reform are concerned the best possible thing that's why i don't think
01:13:41.840
nigel's political acumen is very good at all made loads and loads and loads of really bad decisions
01:13:47.680
on the strategic level in my opinion like becoming as normie friendly radio 4 friendly as possible
1.00
01:13:54.140
Packing his own party with effectively foreign people
01:14:41.360
It makes more sense if that's the case doesn't it
01:14:51.800
so those two things don't really marry up do they now odd okay angelic detective 86 that's
01:15:01.480
her name says hey beau greetings from the good old us of a just wondering if you'll
01:15:06.680
get around to having that monocle we all voted on ah yes
01:15:15.160
somebody sent me a monocle in the post yeah i've got it
01:15:21.800
it's funny there's one issue with it though one small problem is that where my vision is almost
01:15:28.360
2020 when i put it in it's just blurred everything's blurred it doesn't like it doesn't actually
01:15:34.420
like work as uh like magnifying it doesn't work like that does it things like that don't work
01:15:42.100

monocle now okay thank you angelic detective 86 for the super chat there next one principled
01:16:30.460
uncertainty said it's a suitably buffoonish end for this sketchy grifter
01:16:36.480
principle doesn't say probably no punches there um
01:17:11.380
he didn't expect to be playing the role of the establishment against bin face yes yeah exactly
01:17:17.440
that's a sort of quite astute move by the rest of the parties
0.91
01:17:23.920
just me quite astute of them to just flip the script on nigel like that oh it's you versus
01:17:29.660
the establishment is it no you're the establishment bin face is the david oh it's david and goliath
01:17:35.740

01:18:28.860
before now i've done various couple of various jokes on twitter about surrounding the name bow
01:18:35.100

01:18:39.520

It is well, we have a bit of another heat wave in Britain at the moment isn't it
01:19:05.440
I'm surprised, well when it's a more slower news day
01:19:08.400
Perhaps if tomorrow is a slightly more slow news day
01:19:10.460
They'll start talking all about the heat wave again
01:19:12.740
Last night was quite muggy in Britain wasn't it
01:19:36.840
What about the entirely indigenous peoples of Greenland

There were indigenous peoples there before
0.99
01:20:18.140
have been there before the danes and people said actually that's not true the danes were there
01:20:24.640

principal dunserti said again says technically they cannot stop him from running over and over
01:20:54.340
Where Ed Davey said the government should stop Nigel Farage
01:21:08.940
Johnny can't force someone to be an MP if they don't want to

he thinks i've gone fascist i need him to wake up we're still in love but it's getting sad oh
01:23:24.700
And they're still holding all their old positions again
01:23:46.880
They're still talking about that the earth is going to be destroyed
01:24:01.380
They have to feel like they've come to the conclusion
01:24:05.380
You have to very, very gently coerce them towards the truth
01:24:14.440
Very rarely can you browbeat someone into submission
01:24:26.440
very subtly gently coax them towards chip away at it delicately so i would say i
01:24:33.940
just to keep telling someone something you're wrong you're wrong i'm right it's this it's this
01:24:40.560
it's this that will very very rarely work it just causes resentment doesn't it
01:24:44.660

01:24:52.120

01:25:30.400

I know it's not always easy when you've got commitments.
01:27:34.400
But if you are able to use your time however you see fit, try and make it count.
01:27:39.680
I've only got a finite number of days on this earth.
01:27:41.260
All right, I'm not going to get too preachy about it.
