The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1046

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1046. I'm your host Josh, today joined by...

00:00:05.880 I'm Harry actually. I know you want to be me, I knew it. The caffeine's already getting to me, man.

00:00:11.200 Yeah, Harry has been drinking, he's drank like a massive pint of coffee, had one of those energy drinks,

00:00:17.160 now has another one. The new tonic, which Josh has given a different name, but I won't say what,

00:00:21.740 because we really do appreciate them, Chris. They are very nice. Yeah, but I've had a lot of caffeine

00:00:26.480 so far this morning. So, might die. Maybe that'll be an exclusive for the podcast today, I might die.

00:00:32.000 But, we'll see if I can get through the podcast without opening this and drinking more of it,

00:00:36.440 and if I do, we'll see what happens. This is like a YouTube clickbait video.

00:00:40.920 I drank infinite caffeine. Do I die? Do you remember that episode of Futurama,

00:00:46.500 where Fry tries to drink, I think it's like a thousand cups of coffee in a day? I feel like

00:00:50.760 I'm teetering on the edge when he's had 999. How the roles have reversed. Some of the

00:00:55.180 prestige Lotus Eaters audience may remember. The deep lore. Yeah, the deep lore, when it was

00:01:01.040 Harry and I, and another duo podcast in the old studio, and I was basically vibrating like a

00:01:06.680 hummingbird from caffeine. You were, that was when I was doing Kyle Rittenhouse, I think, and I was

00:01:11.380 really concerned because you stayed silent the entire way through my segment. Sorry about that. And I

00:01:16.920 thought, I thought that meant I was doing too, I was doing terribly. Turns out, Josh was holding back

00:01:21.540 the urge to vomit. That is true, yeah. Anyway, this is Josh. Hi. And today what we'll be talking

00:01:27.480 about are the farmers' protests, if Joe Biden's going to start World War III before Trump can get

00:01:32.540 in his second term of presidency, and the evil, no-good, downright stinking history of Sir Keir

00:01:38.400 Starmer, our Prime Minister, because there's a lot of information that you can get about Keir

00:01:43.340 Starmer's history as a human rights lawyer, and it doesn't paint him in a great light. Also,

00:01:47.640 an announcement. One, Tomlinson's talk is happening as normal later on, but I do need to make you aware

00:01:53.240 that it is not going to be live. It's a pre-record. Two, Lord Miles is in tomorrow for the podcast, so

00:01:59.400 tune in for tomorrow so that you get to see Lord Miles. Kyle and I, we've got some good things planned.

00:02:03.740 Yeah, it should be fun. I've overheard the plotting, the plans they've been going over.

00:02:08.000 Should be fun. And three, and we'll mention this quite a few times during the podcast, so apologies in

00:02:12.660 advance. We have a new channel for YouTube called Lotus Eaters Daily, where we'll be doing shorter,

00:02:19.560 more condensed solo videos. So if you'd like to subscribe to that and check out the first video,

00:02:24.820 should be out, I've been told by Carl, should be out before the end of this podcast. So please

00:02:30.380 subscribe, please support us on that as well. It will not be replacing the daily podcast channel,

00:02:35.020 it will be alongside it. The basic idea of the whole thing is that we find an article or something

00:02:41.600 to discuss in a short way that wouldn't quite make the daily podcast, but is similar in sort of

00:02:47.360 content, I suppose. But it's sort of harking back to Carl's classic style from his Sargon of a CAD

00:02:54.100 days, because it is good, and it's good fun. Think This Week in Stupid, but we've been told we're not

00:03:00.280 allowed to call it This Week in Stupid, so we'll call it something else. Oh, he'll come in and hurt us.

00:03:05.920 You know what? I'm full of caffeine, try me. And with that, let's get into the podcast.

00:03:10.880 Oh yeah, you've got something else, don't you? I would like to say a very special thank you to

00:03:15.060 Claire for sending in these chocolates, and the Journey to the West, which is... The full series.

00:03:21.400 These are lovely additions as well, and many of you may know I'm a big fan of Chinese literature,

00:03:27.020 and this is a massive stack. I'll be reading this over Christmas, and it was very kind of you to send it

00:03:31.300 in, and thank you. I mean, I've really got my work cut out here, so maybe...

00:03:37.100 It's a nice, thick tome. Yeah, I'm not going to be bored, am I?

00:03:40.040 I'd be interested in reading it, if only because of the connection to Dragon Ball being influenced by it at first.

00:03:44.240 So I'm going to put this under the table, it feels very Bluepeter-esque.

00:03:46.740 Do not kick it.

00:03:47.580 No, of course not.

00:03:49.400 Unlike some people, I respect books.

00:03:51.600 There we go. Some people in the office like to chew on the edges of their books and draw and write all in them.

00:03:57.980 It disgusts me. And with that, let's get into the news.

00:04:01.560 Uh, yeah. Sorry.

00:04:03.620 Don't point at me. It's only James O'Brien's books. They barely count literature.

00:04:07.420 You gnaw on them like a hamster, I've seen you.

00:04:09.060 I don't gnaw on them. I do write in them, though. Mainly insults.

00:04:13.140 That is actually true. I saw, when we did the last James O'Brien book club,

00:04:18.020 you just wrote insults in the margins as if you needed to remember them.

00:04:23.280 It popped into my head as I was going through, so it's a way of relieving pressure.

00:04:28.100 Okay. Anyway.

00:04:31.540 So, this whole story starts from Rachel Reeves' budget.

00:04:36.940 So, in that budget, it said,

00:04:39.660 From April of 2026, inherited agricultural assets worth more than a million pounds,

00:04:44.580 which were previously exempt,

00:04:46.560 will be liable to inheritance tax at 20%,

00:04:50.900 which is half of the usual inheritance tax rate.

00:04:54.420 And I think it can also be paid up front as well,

00:04:58.260 over the course of 10 years.

00:05:00.280 But that's a very large sum of money for a lot of farmers.

00:05:03.540 Also, other exemptions. There's some kind of exemption to do with being a couple,

00:05:08.520 where I think you can pass it on to the spouse,

00:05:10.300 and it means that you only have to pay after three million pounds has been hit

00:05:14.420 as a threshold for the overall value of your farm.

00:05:17.780 Of course, let's get it straight out of the way.

00:05:20.420 Don't care whatever the arguments are.

00:05:22.560 Inheritance tax is immoral.

00:05:25.080 It is theft. It is immoral.

00:05:26.820 It is evil for you to die,

00:05:28.820 and then the government to present your family a bill for you dying.

00:05:33.540 It's also providing a weird incentive for parents to marry their children

00:05:38.100 so they can pass on their assets,

00:05:39.560 which doesn't need any more encouragement in the countryside.

00:05:42.520 Believe me, I'm from the countryside, so I'm allowed to say that.

00:05:45.500 So don't come at me with your pictures.

00:05:47.100 You should see his webbed feet.

00:05:48.620 Yeah, I'm a very good swimmer.

00:05:51.140 So anyway, a million pounds may sound like a lot.

00:05:54.240 So what I've got here...

00:05:55.120 Not in England.

00:05:56.200 What I've got here is an apartment in Camden in London.

00:06:00.300 Obviously, London is more expensive than the rest.

00:06:03.560 And Camden is a desirable area.

00:06:05.460 But this is what you might get.

00:06:07.000 Just to put it into perspective,

00:06:09.060 here is the living room.

00:06:11.620 I feel like an estate agent.

00:06:13.860 There's the outside.

00:06:15.180 I feel like they've done that thing that they always do,

00:06:17.300 which is they take photos from funny angles to make it look bigger.

00:06:20.360 Yes.

00:06:21.120 I feel like you could just about swing a cat in that kitchen,

00:06:24.180 but it's quite narrow, isn't it?

00:06:25.320 I mean, you've got modern units and things like that,

00:06:28.500 but there's not a massive amount of room here.

00:06:31.280 Yeah, interesting choice of bathroom.

00:06:33.140 You get your serial killer Patrick Bateman bathroom.

00:06:36.900 Plenty of prostitutes could be strangled there.

00:06:39.100 You're in London.

00:06:39.420 Which is not yours.

00:06:39.940 And a communal garden because you're all communists

00:06:41.960 because you live in London.

00:06:43.000 But you're not getting much for a million pounds.

00:06:45.560 And so showing this equivalent sort of puts into perspective

00:06:48.580 that if you own a lot of farmland,

00:06:50.720 which in the grand scheme of things,

00:06:52.640 most farmers are asset rich but cash poor.

00:06:55.240 You know, the land doesn't necessarily yield

00:06:57.900 a massive amount of money for a lot of work

00:06:59.800 and a lot of expertise.

00:07:01.060 And that is one of the main problems

00:07:03.960 with this inheritance tax proposal,

00:07:08.300 although it's passed now, hasn't it?

00:07:09.860 Well, the other thing about it,

00:07:11.820 excuse me,

00:07:13.420 is that they're trying to sneak it under the rug

00:07:16.220 a little bit by saying that,

00:07:17.780 well, if you calculate the value of the land,

00:07:21.300 then all of these farms don't make it.

00:07:24.040 But the value of the farm itself

00:07:25.640 is not just the value of the land.

00:07:27.940 It's also the value of all of the assets on top of it,

00:07:30.900 including often, well, always the herds,

00:07:34.040 which cows by themselves,

00:07:35.840 a single cow is ridiculously expensive.

00:07:39.540 Yes.

00:07:40.380 Well, with that out of the way,

00:07:43.160 it's worth mentioning we've got a new channel,

00:07:46.100 Lotus Eaters Daily,

00:07:46.880 where we're going to be uploading

00:07:48.580 just short breakdowns of news articles we've seen.

00:07:51.680 And it's just a way of covering things

00:07:54.120 that we can't cover in the main podcast,

00:07:56.060 but capture our attention

00:07:57.640 and means more content for you

00:07:59.520 because we're not getting rid of anything.

00:08:00.900 We're just doing more.

00:08:02.220 It means more work for us.

00:08:03.380 So pray for us.

00:08:04.520 Sign up to our website

00:08:05.360 so I can move out of my hovel in Swindon.

00:08:08.300 Should be fun videos as well.

00:08:10.080 It should be fun, yeah,

00:08:11.080 because the idea is we just drop into the studio

00:08:13.640 when we see something stupid

00:08:14.840 and complain about it, break it down.

00:08:16.620 Remember, this isn't This Week in Stupid.

00:08:21.700 It's not, but it kind of is.

00:08:24.480 Don't talk up.

00:08:26.240 But anyway, that out of the way,

00:08:28.020 back to the budget.

00:08:29.840 So Rachel Reeves justified this,

00:08:31.880 saying farmers must pay up for the NHS,

00:08:34.780 the altar in which all things must be sacrificed,

00:08:37.480 which I don't think is going to win anyone any favours

00:08:40.100 because farmers also use the NHS

00:08:41.980 and I imagine they're probably taxpayers like anyone else.

00:08:45.280 And so to say that they have to sell their family farm,

00:08:47.800 which could be, you know,

00:08:49.560 many, many generations in their family,

00:08:53.060 to pay for their own healthcare is insulting.

00:08:56.840 Well, I mean, also the land that they end up having to sell

00:08:59.820 is probably going to be paved over for new housing estates

00:09:02.180 to put immigrants in.

00:09:03.480 Which is an abomination.

00:09:03.940 I sort of take the tree beard position on the countryside

00:09:06.780 that paving over it is basically sacrilegious

00:09:09.560 and nobody cares for the trees.

00:09:10.580 And also, I thought we'd already last week

00:09:12.700 figured out a new solution to problems with the NHS,

00:09:15.420 which is that asylum seekers just get free private healthcare.

00:09:18.800 That solves everything, doesn't it?

00:09:20.600 That's somehow better

00:09:21.440 because we just pay for the private healthcare,

00:09:23.980 which definitely doesn't have an impact on our taxes

00:09:27.020 or the economy more generally.

00:09:28.960 But it's also worth mentioning as well,

00:09:31.120 on top of the impact to farmers,

00:09:33.880 retailers as well,

00:09:35.840 a warning of a 7 billion hit from the budget tax rises.

00:09:39.920 And this is to the retailers themselves.

00:09:42.380 And so their capacity to pay for produce

00:09:44.340 will be reduced as well.

00:09:46.880 And so it could be a sort of death by a thousand cuts situation

00:09:50.280 for the economy.

00:09:51.100 And any costs to the retailers

00:09:53.340 will be passed on to the consumers,

00:09:55.140 the people going to buy those.

00:09:56.100 And if they have less money to buy produce,

00:09:59.000 in the UK, the way it works is the big shops,

00:10:02.080 the chain brands will go to the farms and say,

00:10:04.260 this is the price we're giving you.

00:10:06.540 The farmers basically have no negotiating room

00:10:09.420 to be able to get a better price

00:10:11.260 for the things that they produce.

00:10:12.420 It's referred to as a cartel, isn't it?

00:10:14.180 The supermarket cartel.

00:10:15.440 It is.

00:10:16.020 And so if they go,

00:10:17.060 well, we can't give you as much,

00:10:18.460 so we're giving you this much less now,

00:10:21.020 the farmers have no way of getting around that.

00:10:22.780 They're already making food at a loss, potentially.

00:10:26.100 Which is just ridiculous.

00:10:27.740 And nobody wins from that scenario,

00:10:29.600 except maybe the supermarkets

00:10:30.800 and, in the short term, the state.

00:10:33.740 And it's also worth mentioning as well,

00:10:35.360 there's going to be inflation

00:10:36.980 and job losses from the budget.

00:10:38.560 So that's just another bit of icing on the cake

00:10:41.280 to the chaos that is going to be done

00:10:43.200 by this socialist budget.

00:10:45.240 It's amazing that Liz Truss could present

00:10:47.720 some minor tax cuts.

00:10:49.480 Economy collapses.

00:10:50.760 Her government is ousted immediately.

00:10:52.360 This is fine, apparently,

00:10:54.680 according to the Bank of England.

00:10:56.660 It's also worth mentioning very briefly

00:10:58.440 that Rachel Reeves was actually

00:11:00.900 accused of lying on her CV,

00:11:03.820 which I think is evidence from the fact

00:11:05.360 that she doesn't know what she's doing

00:11:06.900 and she's destroying the economy.

00:11:09.140 So she had listed herself as an economist

00:11:12.800 at the Bank of England.

00:11:14.380 Bank of Scotland.

00:11:15.260 Bank of Scotland.

00:11:16.220 I don't know why I said the bank.

00:11:17.140 It was just because I mentioned them

00:11:18.500 just a second ago.

00:11:20.020 And apparently this is not true.

00:11:23.180 And Guido Fawkes said,

00:11:24.820 it can reveal that Reeves worked

00:11:26.320 in a mundane support department

00:11:27.880 at the bank,

00:11:28.500 according to multiple former colleagues.

00:11:30.300 Within the Halifax HBOS complaints team,

00:11:33.000 there was a small support unit

00:11:34.200 which managed administration processes,

00:11:36.680 IT matters,

00:11:37.440 and small projects and planning.

00:11:38.980 It was a team of three people

00:11:40.080 far from the economics department.

00:11:42.280 Reeves held a mid-level position.

00:11:43.980 So she's literally middle management.

00:11:46.180 So even in a team of three people,

00:11:48.860 she was still mid-level.

00:11:50.320 Yes.

00:11:51.080 Impressive.

00:11:51.900 In a support team

00:11:52.960 for a complaints department.

00:11:54.840 That's a remarkable degree of mediocrity

00:11:57.300 for one person to hold.

00:11:59.020 Mm-hmm.

00:11:59.800 I know.

00:12:00.440 And now she's running the economy somehow.

00:12:03.820 And after this was revealed,

00:12:06.220 it was changed to be more accurate

00:12:09.420 to what she actually did.

00:12:10.720 Retail banking.

00:12:11.400 So she wasn't an economist.

00:12:15.360 And it's very general retail banking,

00:12:17.260 isn't it, as well.

00:12:18.780 And it's also,

00:12:21.180 she claimed she was an economist

00:12:23.260 on legal documents as well,

00:12:26.120 which could potentially

00:12:27.240 bring her into legal trouble.

00:12:29.400 And she's the person

00:12:30.220 that's setting policy.

00:12:31.640 So she's accused here

00:12:33.840 of potentially lying on her CV.

00:12:37.420 Potentially.

00:12:38.240 And on other legal documents as well.

00:12:39.940 And this is not me alleging it.

00:12:41.240 This is other people.

00:12:42.640 And it's also funny as well,

00:12:44.900 because she refused to say,

00:12:47.020 and number 10 refuses to say,

00:12:48.740 if she broke the ministerial code

00:12:50.420 in her lying about her CV.

00:12:53.480 And this is something that's going on

00:12:55.380 with the backdrop

00:12:56.380 of all the farmer stuff going on.

00:12:57.980 So I wanted to contextualise this,

00:12:59.520 because the person imposing this on people

00:13:01.840 is not, you know,

00:13:04.280 some economic genius

00:13:05.360 and there's some master plan.

00:13:07.320 Not that we thought that

00:13:08.080 in the first place.

00:13:08.860 No, but the fact that

00:13:10.700 this is all going on

00:13:11.620 and people's livelihoods

00:13:12.580 are being ruined

00:13:13.020 by someone who lied on their CV

00:13:15.420 and actually has no right

00:13:16.940 to even be in the position

00:13:17.960 she's in in the first place.

00:13:19.640 Well, when she took the office,

00:13:21.020 she put down the picture

00:13:22.280 that was on the wall

00:13:22.880 and replaced it

00:13:23.440 with one of the founding members

00:13:24.460 of the Communist Party,

00:13:25.840 I believe.

00:13:26.260 That's right, yeah.

00:13:26.640 Yeah.

00:13:27.060 So unsurprisingly,

00:13:29.120 not an economist,

00:13:30.520 economically illiterate,

00:13:32.260 complete idiot,

00:13:33.860 because surely

00:13:34.560 she should have known

00:13:35.840 it was the easiest thing

00:13:36.860 in the world

00:13:37.300 for anybody

00:13:37.780 to just quickly check up.

00:13:39.220 Was she an economist?

00:13:40.820 Is she qualified?

00:13:42.200 Has she done anything

00:13:43.740 remotely like this

00:13:44.960 to justify her position right now?

00:13:46.740 When you're the Chancellor,

00:13:47.800 it sort of draws in attention

00:13:49.380 and if you have lied,

00:13:50.620 it will come to light.

00:13:52.580 It's pretty simple.

00:13:53.700 But anyway,

00:13:54.420 to the protest.

00:13:55.900 So it's worth mentioning as well

00:13:57.740 that Clarkson

00:13:58.700 was the main big name

00:14:01.120 turning up,

00:14:01.900 Jeremy Clarkson,

00:14:02.500 of course,

00:14:03.020 and after his series

00:14:05.260 Clarkson's Farm,

00:14:06.100 which I really enjoyed,

00:14:07.560 which is also

00:14:08.940 one of the most popular shows

00:14:10.320 in the world,

00:14:12.300 see what I did there?

00:14:13.940 But it actually is.

00:14:16.200 He was there

00:14:17.120 defying doctor's orders

00:14:19.060 because he had a heart operation

00:14:20.900 and this is something

00:14:22.440 that was actually

00:14:23.820 in the news recently,

00:14:24.740 which makes it

00:14:25.200 all the more heroic really,

00:14:26.320 standing up to the government

00:14:27.100 after he was just days away

00:14:29.220 from a fatal heart attack,

00:14:30.980 which he admitted recently

00:14:32.360 to the press.

00:14:33.520 So get well soon,

00:14:34.820 I suppose.

00:14:35.960 Yeah, best wishes

00:14:36.540 for your health.

00:14:38.020 I know you're watching, Jeremy.

00:14:39.880 Big fan of ours, I'm sure.

00:14:42.700 And Farage turned up,

00:14:44.620 rather unsurprisingly.

00:14:46.220 Here he is.

00:14:47.640 He's one of the few people

00:14:48.760 that doesn't look like

00:14:49.740 he's pretending to be a farmer

00:14:51.120 because he does wear

00:14:52.040 this sort of thing anyway.

00:14:53.720 I've seen him wear flat caps

00:14:55.220 and these sort of jackets

00:14:56.180 long before

00:14:56.980 it was politically convenient

00:14:58.980 to do so.

00:14:59.720 He also highlighted

00:15:01.500 those clothes

00:15:02.340 in all of the reform stuff

00:15:04.560 earlier on the year,

00:15:05.540 in the year before the election.

00:15:06.920 He went out of his way

00:15:07.980 to always be wearing

00:15:09.240 these kinds of

00:15:09.960 country gentleman clothes.

00:15:11.860 And I think

00:15:12.600 Kemi Badnock turned up,

00:15:13.900 didn't she,

00:15:14.200 in a barber jacket

00:15:15.320 and then Ed Davey was there

00:15:17.140 and they're all doing

00:15:17.800 their best to pretend

00:15:18.740 to be country people.

00:15:19.820 Keir Starmer said

00:15:20.400 he grew up on a farm.

00:15:21.780 I don't know which

00:15:22.880 pigsty he stayed in.

00:15:26.000 Are you on about

00:15:26.500 James O'Brien?

00:15:27.120 He definitely grew up

00:15:29.160 in a pigsty.

00:15:30.960 Did Keir Starmer say,

00:15:32.220 as well as his father

00:15:33.480 being a toolmaker,

00:15:34.700 did he also say

00:15:35.540 that he grew up

00:15:36.140 in a farm?

00:15:36.860 He was a toolmaker,

00:15:37.860 I guess.

00:15:38.480 In a farm?

00:15:39.500 Yeah, he was a

00:15:40.120 barn animal.

00:15:41.240 No, that's not true.

00:15:42.680 And also,

00:15:43.760 other reformed people

00:15:45.080 turned up.

00:15:45.580 Here's Lee Anderson

00:15:46.300 and Richard Tice

00:15:47.200 here on a tractor.

00:15:48.260 I imagine they were

00:15:51.020 probably more welcome

00:15:52.120 than a lot of the

00:15:52.800 other politicians.

00:15:54.300 Funnily enough,

00:15:54.720 none of the Labour people

00:15:55.680 tried to turn up.

00:15:56.720 I wonder why.

00:15:57.360 I thought Labour

00:15:57.920 tried to give a speech

00:15:59.460 or something

00:15:59.900 and got booed

00:16:00.600 off the stage.

00:16:02.540 Well,

00:16:02.900 I didn't hear about that

00:16:03.900 but it's probably likely.

00:16:05.640 I mean,

00:16:06.000 it would be like

00:16:07.880 someone turning up

00:16:08.780 at a protest

00:16:09.780 against themselves.

00:16:11.800 Which is what it was.

00:16:13.080 It was, yeah.

00:16:14.380 And Robert Jenner.

00:16:15.360 I might have got that right.

00:16:16.340 It might have been

00:16:16.780 the Tories got booed

00:16:17.760 off the stage.

00:16:18.740 I wouldn't be surprised.

00:16:20.760 But here's Robert Jenner

00:16:22.500 as well.

00:16:23.000 He turned up.

00:16:24.420 He seems to be

00:16:25.100 a bit well received here.

00:16:26.680 Doesn't seem like

00:16:27.400 people are throwing

00:16:28.080 rotten vegetables

00:16:28.860 at him at the very least.

00:16:29.820 They seem to be smiling

00:16:30.480 and taking pictures with him.

00:16:31.880 But then maybe

00:16:32.480 that was just the fall.

00:16:33.640 But also,

00:16:34.120 of the current crop

00:16:34.920 of Tory politicians,

00:16:36.000 he seems easily

00:16:37.300 the most comfortable

00:16:38.080 in a situation like this.

00:16:39.600 Yeah.

00:16:40.080 I don't think he's done

00:16:41.220 too much

00:16:42.260 to sully his reputation

00:16:43.800 yet, has he?

00:16:45.240 Not yet.

00:16:46.440 He seems to be

00:16:47.240 the probably

00:16:49.260 the most approachable

00:16:51.700 and media friendly

00:16:52.880 Tory since

00:16:54.040 Boris Johnson.

00:16:55.320 But he's not done

00:16:56.560 anything like

00:16:57.380 stab the British people

00:16:58.580 in the back

00:16:59.080 like Boris Johnson did.

00:17:00.820 And as far as I know,

00:17:01.800 he doesn't have a history

00:17:02.760 of advocating

00:17:03.480 for an amnesty

00:17:04.280 for illegal immigrants.

00:17:05.500 So,

00:17:06.440 maybe,

00:17:07.260 maybe he won't

00:17:08.080 do anything wrong.

00:17:09.440 But also,

00:17:10.520 he does belong

00:17:11.000 to a party

00:17:11.640 that has done

00:17:12.300 more evil

00:17:12.880 to the British people

00:17:13.880 than any other.

00:17:15.100 This is also true.

00:17:16.340 Although the Labour Party

00:17:17.100 is giving them

00:17:17.500 the run for their money.

00:17:18.820 So,

00:17:19.220 what I did want

00:17:20.060 to look at

00:17:20.540 is Clarkson's interview

00:17:22.180 with the BBC.

00:17:23.600 And I'm going to play

00:17:24.100 this in full

00:17:24.640 because it's,

00:17:25.640 quite frankly,

00:17:26.140 wonderful.

00:17:27.240 And,

00:17:27.560 here we go.

00:17:28.980 Notice how he's

00:17:44.400 not trying to pretend

00:17:45.320 to be a poor farmer.

00:17:46.780 It's not about your farm

00:17:47.240 and the fact

00:17:47.800 that you bought

00:17:48.300 a farm

00:17:48.580 to avoid

00:17:48.980 inheritance tax.

00:17:51.700 Classic BBC there.

00:17:53.240 Classic.

00:17:53.920 Oh yeah.

00:17:54.640 It's not the fact

00:17:55.260 that,

00:17:55.500 the fact

00:17:56.340 that I bought

00:17:57.240 a farm

00:17:57.540 to avoid

00:17:58.040 inheritance tax.

00:17:59.800 The fact.

00:18:01.000 You told

00:18:01.400 the Sunday Times

00:18:02.060 in 2021

00:18:02.640 that's why

00:18:03.120 you bought it.

00:18:03.620 It's people.

00:18:06.120 Sorry?

00:18:07.440 Okay,

00:18:08.000 let's start

00:18:08.480 from the beginning.

00:18:09.280 I wanted a shoot.

00:18:11.140 Okay?

00:18:11.780 That's even worse

00:18:12.960 to the BBC.

00:18:14.000 I wanted a shoot.

00:18:15.240 Which comes

00:18:16.080 with the benefit

00:18:16.740 of not having

00:18:17.280 to pay inheritance tax.

00:18:18.640 Now I do.

00:18:20.100 But people like me

00:18:20.840 will simply put it

00:18:21.520 in a trust.

00:18:22.760 And so long as

00:18:23.220 I live for seven years

00:18:24.160 that's fine.

00:18:25.000 And as my daughter said,

00:18:25.960 you will live for seven years.

00:18:26.960 You might be in a deep freeze

00:18:28.020 at the end of it.

00:18:29.060 But you will live

00:18:29.820 for seven years.

00:18:30.960 But it's incredibly

00:18:31.960 time consuming

00:18:32.740 to have to do that.

00:18:34.180 And why should

00:18:34.880 all these people

00:18:35.560 have to do that?

00:18:36.920 Why should they?

00:18:38.200 So one of the reasons

00:18:39.240 Rachel Reeves says

00:18:40.080 she brought this in

00:18:41.240 is to stop

00:18:42.280 wealthy people

00:18:43.080 using it as a way

00:18:44.060 No, that was the only

00:18:44.680 reason she did.

00:18:45.980 No, the other reason

00:18:47.120 was to raise money

00:18:48.800 for public services.

00:18:51.720 Are you listening to this?

00:18:54.300 Have you tried to get

00:18:55.180 a GP appointment lately?

00:18:56.480 Yes.

00:18:56.980 I just recently

00:18:57.700 had a heart attack.

00:18:58.560 Okay.

00:18:59.000 So you know it's tough.

00:19:00.880 Yes.

00:19:01.700 So where should they

00:19:02.860 get the money from

00:19:03.720 if it's not

00:19:04.240 from farmers?

00:19:05.680 From farmers.

00:19:06.740 You hear that everyone?

00:19:08.200 With assets.

00:19:09.180 BBC thinks you should

00:19:09.940 be paying for everything.

00:19:11.280 Okay, do you know

00:19:12.320 how many people

00:19:13.060 pay inheritance tax

00:19:14.060 in this country?

00:19:15.260 It's 4% of estates.

00:19:16.460 What?

00:19:16.800 4% of estates.

00:19:18.280 4% pay inheritance tax.

00:19:20.920 96% of the population

00:19:22.700 of the UK

00:19:23.120 does not pay

00:19:23.720 inheritance tax.

00:19:24.480 No.

00:19:24.700 After this becomes law

00:19:26.940 96% of farmers will.

00:19:29.060 Where have you got

00:19:29.520 that figure from?

00:19:31.360 Who here,

00:19:32.160 can I just ask?

00:19:33.660 Who here is going

00:19:34.820 to be unaffected

00:19:35.860 by these changes?

00:19:38.640 No one.

00:19:39.560 Right.

00:19:40.280 Where have you got

00:19:40.800 the 96% figure from?

00:19:42.000 Well you've got...

00:19:42.740 He's obviously being

00:19:43.520 hyperbolic here.

00:19:45.020 Well the same place

00:19:45.800 that Rachel Reeves does

00:19:46.880 from the middle

00:19:47.620 of her head.

00:19:48.520 Right.

00:19:48.880 From the Sixth Form

00:19:49.560 debating society

00:19:50.460 that she was no doubt

00:19:51.300 a member of.

00:19:51.880 Which formed her opinions

00:19:53.480 and yours.

00:19:54.960 I am not expressing

00:19:56.340 opinions.

00:19:56.920 I'm literally asking

00:19:58.180 you questions.

00:19:58.800 You know that Mr Clarkson.

00:20:00.480 So what is your message

00:20:01.960 to this government?

00:20:03.520 Please back down.

00:20:04.760 Please.

00:20:05.740 And get the money

00:20:06.360 from where?

00:20:07.700 Well they've got

00:20:08.340 40 billion.

00:20:11.160 I'll tell you

00:20:11.860 where you go.

00:20:13.100 Walk into any

00:20:13.960 of the offices

00:20:14.420 around here.

00:20:15.540 If you don't understand

00:20:16.420 what somebody's job is

00:20:17.540 fire them.

00:20:19.320 And how...

00:20:19.760 The civil service...

00:20:21.060 Civil service...

00:20:23.380 Okay you get the idea

00:20:25.000 of what he's about to say

00:20:25.900 but the interview

00:20:26.920 basically ends there

00:20:27.900 and that was great

00:20:28.720 and this was the most...

00:20:29.760 I endorse that message.

00:20:30.500 This is the most shared

00:20:31.280 thing of just

00:20:31.900 if you want to save money

00:20:33.200 get rid of government

00:20:34.220 bureaucrats.

00:20:35.420 I like that.

00:20:36.280 That's great.

00:20:36.740 Fire the civil service.

00:20:37.540 Everybody knows

00:20:38.320 the entire system

00:20:39.280 is bloated

00:20:40.220 with useless jobs worths.

00:20:42.060 I think the civil service

00:20:43.160 since we are running

00:20:44.080 the British Empire

00:20:45.420 has gone up by

00:20:47.200 in size ten times

00:20:48.600 and we managed

00:20:49.260 an entire empire

00:20:50.120 now we manage

00:20:50.840 our own island.

00:20:52.280 Barely.

00:20:52.940 Barely.

00:20:53.760 In managed decline

00:20:54.940 ten times more.

00:20:57.360 And so if 50,000 people

00:20:58.880 Well that's just one

00:20:59.540 of the benefits

00:20:59.940 can manage

00:21:00.300 an entire empire

00:21:01.320 exactly yeah

00:21:02.520 can manage

00:21:03.260 an entire empire

00:21:04.060 then 500,000

00:21:05.400 seems a bit much.

00:21:07.320 Also with technology

00:21:08.300 there should be

00:21:08.720 even fewer.

00:21:09.620 In my personal opinion

00:21:10.500 there shouldn't be any.

00:21:11.640 But that's just me.

00:21:13.220 So this obviously

00:21:14.060 was a great clip

00:21:15.600 and lots of people

00:21:16.280 shared it around

00:21:17.020 and Keir Starmer

00:21:18.680 did a stupid thing

00:21:20.080 and what stupid thing

00:21:21.360 did he do?

00:21:22.600 He reinforced

00:21:23.960 Jeremy Clarkson's argument.

00:21:25.880 He claims that the BBC

00:21:26.860 has backed him over

00:21:27.940 inheritance tax rate

00:21:29.040 on farmers

00:21:29.660 by basically

00:21:30.640 you know how Clarkson said

00:21:32.480 well it's basically

00:21:34.040 what you guys

00:21:34.800 the BBC are saying

00:21:35.800 right?

00:21:37.540 Yep.

00:21:37.780 Keir Starmer agrees

00:21:38.500 apparently.

00:21:39.320 Keir Starmer has also

00:21:40.040 done the stupid thing

00:21:40.840 of doubling down

00:21:41.600 on this.

00:21:42.020 There was an interview

00:21:42.520 done in the middle

00:21:43.060 of the day yesterday

00:21:43.840 I believe

00:21:44.320 where he said

00:21:44.880 that he's not going

00:21:45.520 to back down

00:21:46.140 and that if you

00:21:47.200 really think about it

00:21:48.140 and this was the BBC

00:21:48.880 line that was being

00:21:49.840 parroted as well

00:21:50.660 only 500 farms

00:21:53.360 per year

00:21:54.040 will be affected

00:21:55.840 by this

00:21:56.320 and that's a really

00:21:57.140 really sneaky thing

00:21:58.080 that they're doing

00:21:58.620 they're saying

00:21:59.020 500 farms

00:22:00.040 per year

00:22:01.280 so they're trying

00:22:02.020 to minimise it

00:22:03.540 by narrowing

00:22:05.000 down

00:22:05.520 what we're looking

00:22:07.860 at in terms

00:22:08.440 of the time ratio

00:22:09.440 here

00:22:09.660 but if you look

00:22:10.340 at it from

00:22:10.740 a much longer

00:22:11.400 perspective

00:22:11.820 that's still

00:22:12.860 thousands and

00:22:13.800 thousands of farms

00:22:14.640 presumably

00:22:15.140 probably

00:22:15.880 about as many

00:22:16.980 as Jeremy Clarkson

00:22:17.900 was suggesting

00:22:18.520 there

00:22:18.820 because not all

00:22:20.000 of the farmers

00:22:20.540 are all going

00:22:20.960 to drop dead

00:22:21.560 all at once

00:22:22.320 of course not

00:22:23.260 no

00:22:23.520 and so

00:22:24.680 he also spoke

00:22:25.740 to Sky News

00:22:26.560 where

00:22:26.980 he basically said

00:22:29.580 it is the end

00:22:30.720 of farming

00:22:31.440 in the UK

00:22:31.920 if this tax

00:22:33.000 is introduced

00:22:33.640 which I

00:22:35.060 appreciate

00:22:35.980 just how blunt

00:22:37.440 he's being about

00:22:38.020 this

00:22:38.240 that's really good

00:22:39.020 I mean that's the point

00:22:40.640 though sadly

00:22:41.320 isn't it

00:22:41.760 it is true

00:22:42.360 yeah

00:22:42.620 I mean

00:22:43.140 there's no word

00:22:43.940 of a lie there

00:22:44.480 he did also

00:22:45.180 address the crowds

00:22:45.880 which I think

00:22:46.380 Carl's going to

00:22:46.860 go over tomorrow

00:22:47.640 because Carl

00:22:48.220 was there

00:22:48.720 he also actually

00:22:50.560 spoke to him

00:22:51.020 very briefly

00:22:51.580 and it's also

00:22:53.500 worth mentioning

00:22:54.020 as well

00:22:54.380 here is

00:22:55.260 a picture

00:22:56.680 of the crowd

00:22:57.160 so it was

00:22:57.620 quite busy

00:22:58.200 for a weekday

00:22:59.560 and a snowy

00:23:00.700 morning

00:23:01.040 with people

00:23:01.980 that are notorious

00:23:02.780 for having

00:23:04.900 a very long

00:23:06.040 work day

00:23:06.620 as in farmers

00:23:07.380 and so that was

00:23:08.580 quite the turnout

00:23:09.200 and you can

00:23:10.700 you can see

00:23:11.140 some there

00:23:11.620 as well

00:23:12.000 and now

00:23:14.220 we're going

00:23:14.440 to go on

00:23:14.740 to some of

00:23:15.020 the bad

00:23:15.380 justifications

00:23:16.320 for this

00:23:16.980 being a good

00:23:17.540 thing

00:23:17.900 and they're

00:23:19.580 pretty painful

00:23:20.320 so here

00:23:21.380 is something

00:23:22.420 that this

00:23:23.580 is an author

00:23:24.220 here

00:23:24.680 of leftist

00:23:25.840 drivel

00:23:26.180 40% of UK

00:23:27.480 farmland is

00:23:28.220 owned by

00:23:28.640 billionaires

00:23:29.400 now you know

00:23:30.600 why they are

00:23:31.120 so angry

00:23:31.600 it will be

00:23:32.100 taxed

00:23:32.620 is that even

00:23:33.040 true

00:23:33.340 where's he

00:23:33.780 pulled that

00:23:34.160 figure from

00:23:34.760 where's your

00:23:36.180 source

00:23:36.440 also

00:23:37.000 what

00:23:38.020 those people

00:23:39.080 didn't look

00:23:39.580 like billionaires

00:23:40.300 to me

00:23:40.740 and it

00:23:41.720 certainly did not

00:23:42.500 also you're not

00:23:43.240 a billionaire

00:23:43.620 if you're a

00:23:45.160 millionaire

00:23:45.440 if you

00:23:46.040 if you have

00:23:46.600 over a million

00:23:47.200 pounds

00:23:47.620 and because

00:23:48.200 of the value

00:23:48.680 of land

00:23:49.120 that's been

00:23:49.500 pushed up

00:23:49.880 because of

00:23:50.220 immigration

00:23:50.680 actually

00:23:51.620 the value

00:23:52.300 of

00:23:52.460 the value

00:23:53.900 of farmland

00:23:54.460 has gone up

00:23:55.100 quite a lot

00:23:55.920 as far as

00:23:56.380 I'm aware

00:23:56.840 and you know

00:23:57.680 they get

00:23:57.960 people like

00:23:58.600 solar panel

00:23:59.320 wind farms

00:23:59.980 and housing

00:24:00.860 developers

00:24:01.360 coming at them

00:24:02.340 all the time

00:24:02.960 which is

00:24:03.320 inflating the

00:24:04.140 cost even

00:24:04.600 more

00:24:04.880 so more

00:24:05.560 and more

00:24:05.820 farmers

00:24:06.240 except the

00:24:06.740 smallest

00:24:07.120 farmers

00:24:07.600 so they're

00:24:08.440 basically

00:24:08.760 doing a

00:24:09.500 speed run

00:24:09.980 of the

00:24:10.240 soviet

00:24:10.580 union

00:24:10.920 where they're

00:24:11.420 liquidating

00:24:11.940 the kulak

00:24:12.480 class

00:24:12.920 and they're

00:24:13.820 only having

00:24:14.180 the peasant

00:24:14.560 farmers

00:24:14.900 and what

00:24:15.160 happened

00:24:15.480 was

00:24:15.780 massive

00:24:16.360 famines

00:24:17.000 also

00:24:18.560 as other

00:24:19.440 people in

00:24:19.960 the replies

00:24:20.440 here are

00:24:20.780 pointing out

00:24:21.440 so okay

00:24:22.440 40% of

00:24:23.640 UK farmland

00:24:24.400 is owned

00:24:24.680 by billionaires

00:24:25.220 as a

00:24:25.880 principle

00:24:26.300 let's just

00:24:26.820 assume that

00:24:27.440 yeah we

00:24:27.780 want to

00:24:28.140 punish them

00:24:28.800 no matter

00:24:30.160 what it is

00:24:30.720 they may or

00:24:31.160 may not be

00:24:31.540 doing with

00:24:31.980 that farmland

00:24:32.580 okay

00:24:33.220 but this is

00:24:34.120 going to

00:24:34.380 affect

00:24:34.740 all of

00:24:35.880 them

00:24:36.080 not just

00:24:37.040 that 40%

00:24:37.980 it's going

00:24:38.520 to affect

00:24:39.080 the 60%

00:24:40.280 that aren't

00:24:40.980 billionaires

00:24:41.560 that also

00:24:42.460 own the rest

00:24:43.060 of the

00:24:43.260 farmland

00:24:43.660 in the UK

00:24:44.140 also who's

00:24:44.960 going to

00:24:45.180 buy the

00:24:45.600 farmland

00:24:46.200 if they're

00:24:47.460 forced to

00:24:47.840 sell it

00:24:48.120 as well

00:24:48.460 is it

00:24:49.220 going to

00:24:49.440 be you

00:24:49.980 know

00:24:50.200 you know

00:24:50.960 small

00:24:51.960 holding

00:24:52.460 people

00:24:52.980 who want

00:24:53.860 just a

00:24:54.360 small farm

00:24:55.140 homesteaders

00:24:55.980 perhaps

00:24:56.240 I don't

00:24:56.600 think so

00:24:57.000 that's not

00:24:57.360 even possible

00:24:57.840 in Britain

00:24:58.260 anymore

00:24:58.660 and here's

00:24:59.780 the same

00:25:00.800 person here

00:25:01.420 if you think

00:25:02.020 all the

00:25:02.340 tax dodging

00:25:03.240 crybaby

00:25:04.060 farmers who

00:25:04.700 are mostly

00:25:05.160 billionaire

00:25:05.600 mostly now

00:25:06.740 that 40%

00:25:07.720 has gone to

00:25:08.240 over 50

00:25:08.900 billionaire

00:25:09.540 landowners

00:25:10.100 should be

00:25:10.620 arrested

00:25:11.480 exactly like

00:25:12.400 they did

00:25:12.860 to just

00:25:13.240 up oil

00:25:13.680 that is

00:25:15.020 just insane

00:25:15.860 to me

00:25:16.180 and this

00:25:16.420 is just

00:25:16.700 a resentful

00:25:17.760 dysgenic

00:25:18.460 mutant

00:25:18.960 who's

00:25:19.860 annoyed

00:25:20.240 that his

00:25:20.820 buddies

00:25:21.160 in the

00:25:21.660 environmental

00:25:22.100 scam

00:25:23.460 industry

00:25:24.140 got arrested

00:25:25.240 and other

00:25:26.020 people should

00:25:26.500 be punished

00:25:26.920 for it

00:25:27.280 despite the

00:25:27.800 fact that

00:25:28.260 just stop

00:25:28.700 oil

00:25:28.920 they are

00:25:29.520 a terrible

00:25:30.800 terrible

00:25:31.480 organisation

00:25:32.180 that have

00:25:32.800 nothing really

00:25:33.440 to add

00:25:33.980 to this

00:25:34.500 country

00:25:34.940 farmers

00:25:35.880 actually do

00:25:36.500 tend to

00:25:37.180 the land

00:25:37.660 and the

00:25:38.280 environment

00:25:38.860 but presumably

00:25:39.960 he also hates

00:25:40.780 the fact that

00:25:41.420 all of the

00:25:42.080 cows that they

00:25:42.600 own release a

00:25:43.200 lot of

00:25:43.420 methane

00:25:43.740 as Bill

00:25:44.200 Gates

00:25:44.520 is constantly

00:25:45.400 telling us

00:25:45.900 about how

00:25:46.260 terrible

00:25:46.600 that is

00:25:47.160 what if

00:25:47.620 I told

00:25:48.000 you that

00:25:48.520 the number

00:25:49.000 of ruminant

00:25:49.580 animals in

00:25:50.300 Britain

00:25:50.600 is much

00:25:51.200 the same

00:25:51.580 as it

00:25:51.820 was before

00:25:52.600 the introduction

00:25:54.300 of agriculture

00:25:55.040 that would be

00:25:55.800 an interesting

00:25:56.280 fact wouldn't

00:25:56.820 it but

00:25:57.540 anyway

00:25:57.860 the IFS

00:25:59.640 the Institute

00:26:00.200 for Fiscal

00:26:00.700 Studies

00:26:01.020 also was

00:26:02.500 carrying water

00:26:03.120 for them

00:26:03.640 and they said

00:26:04.160 in the recent

00:26:05.060 budget

00:26:05.500 I think it's

00:26:06.160 here

00:26:06.480 Chancellor

00:26:07.980 Rachel Reeves

00:26:08.740 announced a

00:26:09.160 40 billion

00:26:09.620 tax increase

00:26:10.220 blah blah blah

00:26:10.700 just 6%

00:26:11.980 of that came

00:26:12.560 from an

00:26:12.860 increase in

00:26:13.460 inheritance tax

00:26:14.260 and a small

00:26:14.780 fraction of

00:26:15.340 that will

00:26:15.620 come from

00:26:16.340 farmers

00:26:16.880 and yet it

00:26:17.500 is the tax

00:26:18.000 increase on

00:26:18.540 farmers that

00:26:19.040 has dominated

00:26:19.600 the news

00:26:20.040 headlines and

00:26:20.960 beyond the

00:26:21.340 change to

00:26:21.760 agricultural

00:26:22.260 reliefs there

00:26:23.640 were some other

00:26:24.160 big reforms as

00:26:24.900 well to

00:26:25.220 pensions and

00:26:25.740 business so

00:26:26.280 they're basically

00:26:26.740 trying to say

00:26:27.340 that stop making

00:26:28.020 a fuss it's only

00:26:28.680 a small part of

00:26:29.440 it and I

00:26:31.260 don't think that's

00:26:31.680 very helpful and

00:26:33.280 then here's another

00:26:34.360 one from that

00:26:34.920 same account

00:26:35.800 it's a figure from

00:26:37.920 that same account

00:26:38.600 but it's John

00:26:39.340 O'Connell who I've

00:26:40.240 had a run-in or

00:26:40.800 two with

00:26:41.300 hosting it

00:26:42.440 only the richest

00:26:43.400 4% of people

00:26:44.320 pay inheritance

00:26:45.020 tax only the

00:26:45.680 richest 1.5%

00:26:46.700 of farmers will

00:26:47.340 pay half

00:26:48.160 inheritance tax

00:26:49.400 spread over 10

00:26:50.040 years this is a

00:26:51.440 protest funded by

00:26:52.220 the obscenely

00:26:52.940 wealthy who want

00:26:53.720 to pay no tax

00:26:54.380 at all I want

00:26:55.560 to pay no tax

00:26:56.200 at all I'm not

00:26:56.800 obscenely wealthy

00:26:57.460 I think taxation

00:26:58.560 is an abomination

00:26:59.680 also again where

00:27:01.040 are these figures

00:27:01.580 being pulled from

00:27:02.500 is that has John

00:27:03.560 included a source

00:27:04.660 for us to examine

00:27:05.620 nope lower down

00:27:06.920 if I just is there

00:27:08.160 anything that no

00:27:08.940 no nothing all

00:27:10.940 right okay so

00:27:12.240 Narendra Kerr

00:27:13.660 guest on the show

00:27:15.360 once farmers

00:27:16.500 refusing to pay

00:27:17.220 tax that everyone

00:27:18.380 else is required to

00:27:19.140 pay bar the king

00:27:20.120 but let's not go

00:27:20.700 there today they

00:27:21.600 are greedy wealthy

00:27:22.500 brats how dare they

00:27:23.500 think protesting

00:27:24.520 tax paying will

00:27:25.360 garner them any

00:27:26.140 sympathy I think it

00:27:26.960 will actually

00:27:27.700 everybody else is

00:27:29.600 required to pay

00:27:30.340 I'm not I

00:27:32.860 assume you're I

00:27:33.680 don't know what

00:27:34.160 sort of land that

00:27:34.980 your parents own

00:27:35.960 but you're not

00:27:37.540 just just saying

00:27:39.960 everybody else is

00:27:40.860 required to pay does

00:27:41.520 not mean that

00:27:41.960 everybody else will

00:27:42.840 be paying it nor

00:27:43.860 does it mean that

00:27:44.460 again is moral in

00:27:45.740 the first place or

00:27:46.440 justified nor does

00:27:47.980 it mean that it's

00:27:49.540 a benefit to the

00:27:50.320 country it's

00:27:51.480 ridiculous so there

00:27:53.300 was also this far

00:27:54.640 right groups plan to

00:27:55.500 hijack farmers

00:27:56.440 protest in London

00:27:57.460 against tax

00:27:58.260 changes are the

00:27:59.220 far right you

00:27:59.920 know all those

00:28:01.180 far right libertarians

00:28:02.320 against taxation and

00:28:04.000 the funny thing is

00:28:04.600 they're trying to

00:28:05.680 say extremists

00:28:06.940 including Tommy

00:28:07.640 Robinson associates

00:28:08.600 and then it names

00:28:09.560 Nick Griffin and

00:28:11.760 patriotic alternative

00:28:12.880 who are notable

00:28:14.540 critics of Tommy

00:28:15.480 Robinson just

00:28:18.060 laughable and then

00:28:20.220 this one this opinion

00:28:21.800 piece from Will

00:28:22.520 Hutton was the

00:28:23.500 icing on the cake

00:28:24.360 I don't have time to

00:28:25.500 go for it perhaps I

00:28:26.420 will another time

00:28:27.200 but farmers have

00:28:28.100 hoarded land for

00:28:28.840 too long inheritance

00:28:29.740 tax will bring new

00:28:30.700 life to rural Britain

00:28:31.740 change that change

00:28:33.920 Britain to Russia and

00:28:34.960 that could have come

00:28:35.480 from a Bolshevik and

00:28:37.100 yeah kulaks have

00:28:38.180 hoarded the grain for

00:28:39.300 too long comrade it's

00:28:41.240 time to redistribute how

00:28:43.740 well did that turn out

00:28:44.720 yeah the holodomore

00:28:45.780 Google that but like

00:28:48.460 like this that was

00:28:49.860 also entirely

00:28:50.960 intentional and I'm

00:28:53.680 gonna have to be very

00:28:54.320 quick with this one

00:28:55.040 because I know we're

00:28:55.900 we've been going on for

00:28:56.920 a long time but James

00:28:57.760 O'Brien got a taste of

00:28:58.980 his own medicine from an

00:28:59.900 angry farmer that

00:29:01.220 basically just shouted

00:29:02.300 at him which is

00:29:03.060 normally what James

00:29:03.720 O'Brien does I know

00:29:04.660 he's your favourite

00:29:05.500 I'm the top guy

00:29:06.700 I know that's difficult for

00:29:08.900 you James

00:29:09.280 why are you so rude

00:29:10.200 Charlie

00:29:10.600 it's not my fault

00:29:11.940 it's not my fault you've

00:29:12.980 just made it

00:29:13.420 you're the rudest person

00:29:14.280 on the radio because you

00:29:15.120 sit there with your

00:29:15.820 I'm the second I'm the

00:29:17.120 second rudest person on the

00:29:18.400 radio at the moment at this

00:29:19.800 moment Charlie

00:29:20.820 when a farmer inherits his

00:29:22.380 farm and he can't afford to

00:29:24.020 pay that inheritance tax

00:29:25.060 because it's hundreds of

00:29:26.160 thousands of pounds and he

00:29:27.120 only makes thirty thousand

00:29:28.040 pounds a year

00:29:28.760 well look can we crunch the

00:29:29.820 numbers quickly

00:29:30.460 that's his home James

00:29:32.220 can we crunch the numbers

00:29:33.120 quickly

00:29:33.540 he's being a frustrating

00:29:35.460 pedant but this clip's

00:29:37.000 been doing around

00:29:37.520 that's his only debate

00:29:38.880 tactic repeat the same

00:29:40.160 question over and over

00:29:41.000 again until they give up

00:29:42.000 because they're too

00:29:42.420 annoyed at you and be a

00:29:43.780 pedant

00:29:44.140 and I wanted to end on a

00:29:47.160 bit of a high note and so

00:29:48.980 Sky News is covering just

00:29:51.260 how militant these farmers

00:29:52.520 are here and this is a new

00:29:55.180 development in British

00:29:55.980 politics

00:29:56.480 you're watching Sky News

00:29:58.360 today still to come

00:29:59.480 farmers preparing to

00:30:00.560 protest in Westminster

00:30:01.580 as inheritance tax and

00:30:03.140 the growths will be

00:30:04.200 speaking to cereal farmer

00:30:05.460 Ollie House

00:30:06.200 that's brilliant

00:30:07.840 look at him go

00:30:10.600 you want to wonder where

00:30:11.900 all that money's gone into

00:30:12.880 those assets

00:30:13.500 there you are

00:30:14.780 yeah no one realised

00:30:15.940 everyone and their mums

00:30:17.060 are packing around here

00:30:17.740 aren't they

00:30:18.100 and finally to end

00:30:22.780 currently Druckber

00:30:23.760 pointed out

00:30:24.440 it's really kicking off at

00:30:26.000 the farmers protest

00:30:27.020 Jeremy

00:30:29.000 he's going to be

00:30:30.900 distributing Clarkson's

00:30:32.180 farm armbands

00:30:33.160 they're going to be red

00:30:35.380 and they're going to have

00:30:35.920 a little maze drawn on

00:30:37.160 them

00:30:37.720 but obviously this was just

00:30:41.180 an unfortunate screenshot

00:30:42.300 but the important point

00:30:44.180 here and not to make too

00:30:45.080 much light of the

00:30:46.660 situation is that if you

00:30:48.220 destroy the agricultural

00:30:49.180 industry you destroy the

00:30:50.660 entire country

00:30:51.480 this protest is a very

00:30:52.980 important thing and I

00:30:53.840 think we're going to

00:30:54.380 continue to focus on it

00:30:55.520 because it is the bedrock

00:30:57.340 of English society

00:30:58.220 it informs our culture

00:30:59.240 it is our means of

00:31:00.380 survival and we cannot

00:31:01.800 overlook it

00:31:02.500 yeah before you click off

00:31:04.100 of this I just want to

00:31:04.900 highlight that yeah that

00:31:05.700 some may find this scary

00:31:07.200 I find it more terrifying

00:31:08.400 there appears to be a

00:31:09.320 spooky ghost operating

00:31:11.140 this camera behind Clarkson

00:31:12.620 so what's going on

00:31:14.460 that's what I want to know

00:31:16.240 BBC this is what you

00:31:17.480 should be so this is what

00:31:19.060 you should be searching for

00:31:20.120 the real news that we care

00:31:21.200 about anyway

00:31:21.640 we've got a bunch of

00:31:22.720 rumble rants I'll just

00:31:23.640 fire through them very

00:31:24.300 quickly because I went on

00:31:25.320 for 10 minutes too long

00:31:26.340 there

00:31:26.580 Trelly Belly says Reeves

00:31:28.060 has been lying about

00:31:28.800 being an economist since

00:31:29.680 at least 2004 prior to

00:31:31.420 her job with Lloyd's

00:31:32.820 banking group C company

00:31:34.000 house website

00:31:34.800 sorry my laptop's

00:31:37.380 blocking the screen

00:31:38.160 we're very professional

00:31:38.960 would you like me to

00:31:39.760 read it while I wave my

00:31:40.980 laptop about in fury

00:31:43.100 all right go on

00:31:44.100 all right

00:31:44.700 just for the comedy of it

00:31:46.060 hero Sanchiban says

00:31:47.740 double the population

00:31:48.860 destroy your food

00:31:49.900 production by stealing

00:31:50.860 farms to build

00:31:51.580 more homes

00:31:52.060 does anyone else see

00:31:53.320 the problem here

00:31:54.080 no

00:31:54.560 Matt Gamond says

00:31:56.700 sorry Matt G

00:31:58.960 Hammond

00:31:59.740 Matt Gamond

00:32:02.920 my favorite

00:32:03.520 says if the United

00:32:04.760 States can successfully

00:32:05.760 contract its

00:32:06.420 administrative state

00:32:07.520 then I hope it

00:32:08.580 encourages other

00:32:09.180 countries to do the

00:32:09.980 same

00:32:10.280 not England though

00:32:11.800 because we are

00:32:12.180 literally a socialist

00:32:12.900 country at this point

00:32:13.700 Peter J Harvey says

00:32:15.560 40% of farms are owned

00:32:17.520 by billionaires

00:32:18.200 well after this

00:32:19.040 IHT policy it will be

00:32:20.480 owned by 100%

00:32:21.560 billionaires

00:32:22.180 true

00:32:22.480 yes

00:32:22.800 that's a random

00:32:23.720 name

00:32:24.100 haikus for farmers

00:32:25.480 taxing the farmers

00:32:26.420 labour rubbing their

00:32:27.280 fat hands

00:32:27.800 they're all useless

00:32:28.920 poofs

00:32:29.540 you're the perfect

00:32:30.840 person to read that

00:32:31.580 last one out

00:32:32.100 yes there we go

00:32:33.360 so it's my

00:32:34.140 this is not the

00:32:36.420 right segment

00:32:37.220 we need

00:32:39.540 there we go

00:32:40.320 thank you very much

00:32:41.240 talk about getting

00:32:41.940 nuked because

00:32:42.720 we're not depressing

00:32:43.800 enough

00:32:44.020 Jack also get the

00:32:44.960 new channel up

00:32:46.080 on both of them

00:32:46.780 please

00:32:47.080 it's alright

00:32:49.400 we can do some

00:32:50.700 chit chat in the

00:32:51.360 meantime

00:32:51.760 how are you doing

00:32:53.060 I opened it

00:32:53.700 you're going to be

00:32:55.040 vibrating

00:32:55.820 there's going to be

00:32:56.900 it's basically going to

00:32:58.120 be a video recording

00:32:59.080 of me talking to

00:33:01.760 a vibrating mass

00:33:03.900 that kind of looks

00:33:04.920 like a figure

00:33:05.500 you know how there's

00:33:06.600 that meme of

00:33:07.580 like reverse flash

00:33:09.220 where he says

00:33:09.860 my goals are beyond

00:33:10.860 your understanding

00:33:11.760 and he's vibrating

00:33:12.600 that'll be me

00:33:13.420 my eyes are going to

00:33:14.200 glow red as well

00:33:15.100 so look forward to

00:33:16.340 that folks

00:33:16.960 nice big slurp for

00:33:20.920 the audience there

00:33:21.800 remember if you're

00:33:23.420 eating on a podcast

00:33:24.520 chew straight into

00:33:25.520 the microphone

00:33:26.080 I learned that

00:33:26.700 from H3

00:33:27.440 Leo once did that

00:33:31.120 didn't he

00:33:31.440 he came on a

00:33:31.960 Twix

00:33:32.480 another bit of

00:33:35.420 Lotus Eater's

00:33:36.080 nostalgia for you

00:33:37.000 anyway

00:33:37.880 is Leo ever going

00:33:39.360 to appear again

00:33:40.080 imagine so

00:33:41.440 yeah he's not been

00:33:41.940 on for a while

00:33:42.580 come back Leo

00:33:43.320 you're alright

00:33:44.200 he said voice

00:33:46.300 cracking

00:33:46.900 hello

00:33:47.780 he's here

00:33:50.120 you're half Scottish

00:33:51.140 that's true

00:33:51.700 you're about there

00:33:52.460 anyway

00:33:53.300 are you ready to

00:33:54.660 get nuked

00:33:55.260 I'm not

00:33:56.560 I don't want to

00:34:01.000 no

00:34:01.420 no I don't think

00:34:02.420 anybody wants to be

00:34:03.380 nuked

00:34:03.700 and so

00:34:05.240 we'll look into

00:34:06.000 what's going to

00:34:06.540 happen there

00:34:07.120 are we all going to

00:34:07.840 get nuked by

00:34:08.640 Joe Biden and

00:34:09.420 Putin before

00:34:10.100 Donald Trump gets

00:34:10.820 his second term

00:34:11.420 in

00:34:11.620 let's find out

00:34:13.120 but first I'll

00:34:13.860 take us through

00:34:14.480 what's going to

00:34:15.440 potentially happen

00:34:16.360 or at least how

00:34:17.080 it's shaping up

00:34:17.800 with Donald Trump's

00:34:18.800 foreign policy

00:34:19.580 and some of his

00:34:20.140 media policies

00:34:20.920 that are going to

00:34:21.560 be happening

00:34:22.020 as soon as he

00:34:23.100 gets in

00:34:23.660 and then we'll

00:34:24.520 see how they

00:34:25.600 might try and

00:34:26.100 scupper all of

00:34:26.760 that

00:34:26.880 first though

00:34:27.520 we have a new

00:34:28.280 channel on

00:34:28.980 YouTube called

00:34:29.660 Lotus Eaters

00:34:30.420 Daily

00:34:30.780 it is not a

00:34:31.600 replacement of the

00:34:32.420 podcast channel

00:34:33.200 on YouTube

00:34:33.840 it is something to

00:34:34.560 go alongside it

00:34:35.260 this is going to

00:34:35.920 be shorter

00:34:36.880 more precise

00:34:38.580 content

00:34:39.340 bit more fun

00:34:40.480 very very focused

00:34:41.900 where we look at

00:34:42.560 one or two articles

00:34:43.620 go through it

00:34:44.540 a bit like

00:34:45.240 this week in

00:34:45.800 stupid

00:34:46.100 except I'm not

00:34:46.740 allowed to say

00:34:47.340 it is this week

00:34:48.120 in stupid

00:34:48.580 so it's going to

00:34:49.060 be a bit like

00:34:49.920 it but not

00:34:51.060 okay

00:34:52.300 with that

00:34:53.280 let's get into

00:34:54.460 it so

00:34:54.720 first of all

00:34:55.440 one of the

00:34:55.720 funniest thing

00:34:56.220 that's happened

00:34:56.640 since Donald

00:34:57.200 Trump has

00:34:57.780 become

00:34:58.220 president-elect

00:34:59.540 again

00:34:59.940 is that it

00:35:00.820 seems like the

00:35:01.300 media is going

00:35:02.080 to roll over

00:35:03.520 and capitulate

00:35:04.220 this time

00:35:04.840 mainly because I

00:35:06.120 would imagine

00:35:06.560 that over the

00:35:07.060 past four years

00:35:07.780 their viewership

00:35:08.560 has been

00:35:09.000 absolutely tanking

00:35:10.860 because since

00:35:11.600 Donald Trump

00:35:12.160 left office

00:35:13.940 peacefully

00:35:14.420 I might add

00:35:16.000 their viewership

00:35:17.500 has tanked

00:35:19.000 because they've

00:35:19.600 had no one

00:35:20.860 to talk about

00:35:21.520 so it seems

00:35:22.760 that they're

00:35:23.040 going to try

00:35:23.420 and make peace

00:35:24.540 with him

00:35:24.940 for the time

00:35:25.600 being

00:35:25.880 and people

00:35:26.500 were getting

00:35:26.880 very very

00:35:27.300 annoyed with

00:35:27.800 for instance

00:35:28.180 MSNBC's

00:35:29.620 anchors

00:35:30.140 Joe Scarborough

00:35:30.880 and Mika

00:35:31.560 Polish name

00:35:32.500 the fact that

00:35:34.020 they went to

00:35:34.580 Mar-a-Lago

00:35:35.160 recently so that

00:35:36.200 as they say

00:35:36.700 in this clip

00:35:37.220 they could

00:35:37.600 open dialogue

00:35:39.280 you mean have

00:35:40.540 a conversation

00:35:41.320 have a conversation

00:35:42.640 you know because

00:35:43.500 we've got family

00:35:44.500 members and friends

00:35:45.620 who we don't

00:35:46.080 always have to

00:35:46.660 agree with

00:35:47.240 so why can't

00:35:48.100 it be the same

00:35:48.720 with the president

00:35:49.560 say the people

00:35:50.580 who for decades

00:35:51.700 at this point

00:35:52.240 have been

00:35:52.680 absolutely furious

00:35:54.420 at the idea

00:35:55.140 of having to

00:35:55.740 even exist

00:35:56.460 on the same

00:35:57.020 planet as people

00:35:57.920 that they disagree

00:35:58.560 with

00:35:58.960 they say

00:35:59.560 who cuts off

00:36:00.420 all of this

00:36:00.860 communication

00:36:02.420 why can't we

00:36:03.480 have a dialogue

00:36:04.100 anymore

00:36:04.400 well that's

00:36:04.820 your fault

00:36:05.360 you guys

00:36:06.900 did that

00:36:07.380 it's like

00:36:07.620 someone punching

00:36:08.220 you in the

00:36:08.640 face and said

00:36:09.260 wow whoever

00:36:09.880 did that

00:36:10.320 is terrible

00:36:10.920 but

00:36:12.200 what it shows

00:36:13.960 is weakness

00:36:14.820 they are

00:36:15.820 capitulating

00:36:16.680 somewhat

00:36:17.500 at least

00:36:18.180 for now

00:36:19.240 they're bending

00:36:20.020 the knee to

00:36:20.920 America's new

00:36:22.300 president

00:36:22.660 I nearly said

00:36:23.580 monarch

00:36:23.840 it certainly

00:36:24.540 looks that way

00:36:25.220 if only

00:36:25.700 if only

00:36:26.300 America could

00:36:26.880 do with

00:36:27.160 one of those

00:36:27.680 although

00:36:28.340 ours is no

00:36:29.560 help at the

00:36:30.040 moment

00:36:30.280 certainly

00:36:30.740 foreign policy

00:36:32.100 have been doing

00:36:32.580 quite a few

00:36:33.040 articles talking

00:36:33.900 about what's

00:36:34.500 going to be

00:36:34.800 happening with

00:36:35.440 Donald Trump's

00:36:36.000 foreign policy

00:36:36.720 and I thought

00:36:37.820 it would be

00:36:38.120 interesting to

00:36:38.800 look through

00:36:39.140 what they're

00:36:39.480 saying here

00:36:39.940 so obviously

00:36:40.620 the biggest

00:36:41.000 thing that

00:36:41.380 people are

00:36:41.740 talking about

00:36:42.300 regarding his

00:36:43.020 trade policy

00:36:43.820 is that he

00:36:44.640 has been

00:36:44.900 threatening

00:36:45.380 duties and

00:36:46.660 tariffs on

00:36:48.060 foreign countries

00:36:48.900 as a way to

00:36:49.700 try and generate

00:36:50.320 new revenue

00:36:51.000 into the country

00:36:51.620 while being able

00:36:52.300 to put the

00:36:52.780 taxes down

00:36:53.500 and also to

00:36:54.760 try and encourage

00:36:55.560 greater industry

00:36:56.720 because of course

00:36:57.240 a lot of

00:36:57.580 American industry

00:36:58.260 has been offshored

00:36:59.120 to places like

00:36:59.960 China

00:37:00.280 that's not

00:37:01.460 actually a good

00:37:02.240 thing even if

00:37:03.320 you believe in

00:37:03.900 the global

00:37:04.420 economy it's

00:37:05.760 not actually a

00:37:06.320 good thing for

00:37:06.940 you as a

00:37:07.800 nation to not

00:37:08.500 have your own

00:37:09.080 industries or

00:37:09.860 produce anything

00:37:10.660 it is worth

00:37:11.140 pointing out I'm

00:37:11.860 about as free

00:37:12.440 market as it

00:37:13.040 gets and certain

00:37:13.720 industries that

00:37:14.500 are important to

00:37:15.120 defence should be

00:37:16.860 protected like

00:37:17.540 producing your own

00:37:18.540 steel is important

00:37:20.000 producing your own

00:37:21.060 munitions is important

00:37:22.180 producing your own

00:37:23.140 food your own

00:37:24.020 fuel these sorts of

00:37:25.460 things are important

00:37:26.560 to have domestically

00:37:27.580 as Britain learned in

00:37:29.040 the two world wars

00:37:30.000 if you're too overly

00:37:30.820 reliant on imports it

00:37:32.020 can put you in a

00:37:32.560 vulnerable position

00:37:33.680 which makes you

00:37:35.220 susceptible to

00:37:36.680 foreign influence

00:37:37.700 and even more

00:37:38.480 recently than the

00:37:39.320 second two world

00:37:40.320 wars is 2022 the

00:37:42.240 destruction of the

00:37:43.020 Nord Stream 2

00:37:43.680 pipeline Russia

00:37:44.820 cutting off the

00:37:45.520 taps into Europe

00:37:46.440 increased a lot of

00:37:48.180 prices for energy

00:37:49.160 over here because we

00:37:50.660 are incredibly reliant

00:37:51.780 on imports from

00:37:52.880 Russia and so I

00:37:54.800 think it makes sense

00:37:55.800 to favour certain

00:37:57.580 industries that are

00:37:58.380 essential to the

00:37:59.320 preservation of the

00:38:00.860 nation-state

00:38:01.740 pardon you

00:38:04.400 excuse me this

00:38:05.340 thing's already

00:38:05.860 taking its toll on

00:38:08.080 me but yeah he's

00:38:09.560 trying to potentially

00:38:10.780 put on a tariff as

00:38:12.240 high as 60% on all

00:38:14.300 goods in China

00:38:14.920 that's huge that's

00:38:16.660 gonna and perhaps it

00:38:18.220 says 20% on

00:38:19.440 everything from

00:38:20.220 everywhere else if

00:38:21.280 you can humour a

00:38:22.780 very slight tangent

00:38:23.680 China's in massive

00:38:25.900 danger of falling

00:38:27.300 into the middle

00:38:27.900 income trap that

00:38:28.860 they're never going to

00:38:29.500 catch up to develop

00:38:30.560 western economies

00:38:31.440 and actually they

00:38:32.460 get they're gonna

00:38:33.160 have to go for a

00:38:33.920 period of reorganising

00:38:35.220 how their local

00:38:37.540 government and their

00:38:38.640 central government

00:38:39.500 are actually financed

00:38:40.740 because they've relied

00:38:41.540 on financing it

00:38:42.460 through loans are

00:38:44.100 based on assets and

00:38:45.160 obviously you can only

00:38:45.780 do that for a certain

00:38:46.440 amount of time before

00:38:47.840 you've you've got to

00:38:49.140 pay up and so they've

00:38:50.780 got to restructure their

00:38:51.720 entire economic system

00:38:53.420 and also remain

00:38:54.980 competitive with

00:38:56.240 western powers at the

00:38:57.820 same time as Donald

00:38:58.760 Trump potentially

00:38:59.400 introducing 60%

00:39:01.020 tariffs so that's

00:39:02.980 basically gonna you

00:39:04.020 know take a match to

00:39:05.420 the paper tiger that

00:39:06.340 is China isn't it

00:39:07.340 it certainly could

00:39:08.180 well some people are

00:39:08.980 also suggesting and I

00:39:10.040 think this is probably

00:39:10.820 true that for maybe

00:39:12.480 China and maybe a lot

00:39:13.640 of the other countries

00:39:14.460 that America trades

00:39:16.000 with it might just be

00:39:17.260 being used as a as a

00:39:19.140 bargaining chip I think

00:39:20.320 that's most likely

00:39:21.380 because that would be

00:39:23.440 just as potentially

00:39:25.580 destructive to America

00:39:26.720 that's still quite

00:39:27.640 dependent on Chinese

00:39:28.760 imports it would be a

00:39:30.240 hell of a shock to the

00:39:31.640 economy if it were to

00:39:32.600 happen all at once but

00:39:34.520 it would fit in with

00:39:35.840 Donald Trump's typical

00:39:36.940 diplomatic methods as we

00:39:39.000 saw in his first term

00:39:40.320 which was basically

00:39:41.560 threaten the absolute

00:39:43.100 worst to try and get

00:39:44.480 your opponent to back

00:39:45.340 down some might say it

00:39:46.760 is the art of the deal

00:39:47.760 some might say indeed

00:39:49.600 but one of the ways

00:39:50.700 that they're saying that

00:39:51.380 he might be able to do

00:39:52.200 this which is that they

00:39:53.600 go over a load of the

00:39:54.480 different technical ways

00:39:55.540 that he could use

00:39:56.780 existing legislation or

00:39:58.060 declare national economic

00:39:59.260 emergencies on particular

00:40:00.440 products they're also

00:40:02.080 pointing out he could

00:40:03.220 just go all the way

00:40:04.160 back to the 1930s

00:40:06.300 Smoot-Hawley tariffs

00:40:07.340 which made the Great

00:40:09.720 Depression worse but

00:40:11.260 still that's still on the

00:40:12.720 books and apparently

00:40:13.700 section 338 of Smoot-Hawley

00:40:15.960 would allow the president

00:40:16.960 with only a cursory

00:40:18.240 determination and with

00:40:19.280 unilateral authority to

00:40:20.960 slap tariffs of up to 50%

00:40:23.020 on goods from any

00:40:24.360 country excuse me that

00:40:26.180 treat the United States

00:40:27.480 unfairly or restrict US

00:40:29.500 goods in any way if the

00:40:31.760 harms continue section

00:40:33.040 338 allows the president

00:40:34.360 to prohibit the import of

00:40:35.500 those goods altogether

00:40:36.580 that's quite a powerful

00:40:38.700 string to his bow isn't

00:40:40.580 it it certainly is but

00:40:42.000 again I imagine he's

00:40:43.180 mostly going to be using

00:40:43.920 it as a negotiating

00:40:44.800 bargaining tool because

00:40:46.160 I don't think it's in

00:40:46.860 either country's interest

00:40:47.980 to impede trade in that

00:40:49.520 way but either way with

00:40:51.560 the ongoing wars that

00:40:52.720 are happening right now

00:40:53.660 particularly Ukraine and

00:40:55.060 Russia which America is

00:40:56.260 using Ukraine or has

00:40:57.800 been using Ukraine for a

00:40:59.020 while as a go-between as

00:41:00.880 a bit of a proxy for an

00:41:02.380 ongoing war economic and

00:41:04.220 otherwise with Russia

00:41:05.560 Russia as part of BRICS is

00:41:07.460 trying to engineer its own

00:41:09.460 way to escape the global

00:41:11.040 economic system that

00:41:12.180 happens that exists right

00:41:13.860 now and present its own

00:41:15.220 alternatives mainly to what

00:41:16.820 people have deemed and it

00:41:18.280 is the stupidest term the

00:41:19.820 global south which means

00:41:22.020 basically non-European and

00:41:23.840 non-Anglo it's basically

00:41:24.780 countries that are south of

00:41:26.140 the equator but there will

00:41:27.600 always be a market for

00:41:29.380 Russian goods because you

00:41:31.040 know say you're Somalia you

00:41:34.240 know it's not like the

00:41:35.500 United States is chomping at

00:41:36.660 the bit to have them as an

00:41:37.560 ally and so you know and

00:41:40.240 they're very poor they don't

00:41:42.080 really care about diplomacy

00:41:43.640 when they're living hand to

00:41:45.060 mouth and pretty low standard

00:41:46.960 of living and so they will be

00:41:48.940 willing to buy Russian oil

00:41:50.940 and things like that and

00:41:52.360 there will always be

00:41:53.220 countries like this in the

00:41:54.580 world so the United States

00:41:55.980 can't corner Russia because

00:41:58.020 there's always a market for

00:42:00.400 goods yeah and they have

00:42:02.220 always been since their own

00:42:04.820 industrial surge in the early

00:42:07.620 20th century a huge

00:42:08.820 manufacturing power as well but

00:42:11.360 this was BRICS summit 2024 a

00:42:15.340 few I think last month yeah in

00:42:17.200 October and it was held in

00:42:19.040 Kazan and in it Russia was

00:42:21.300 trying to present a few new

00:42:23.300 ways of establishing its own

00:42:25.600 dominance in the global

00:42:26.540 economy away from the

00:42:27.900 American system also it being

00:42:29.300 held in Kazan in Russia is

00:42:30.960 quite significant because it

00:42:33.100 shows that Russia is the the

00:42:34.840 central power and I think

00:42:36.180 that were the BRICS group

00:42:39.300 quite image conscious they

00:42:41.240 would have made sure it would

00:42:42.100 have been somewhere else and

00:42:43.020 the fact they held it in Russia

00:42:44.040 is making a statement all on

00:42:45.580 its own that it's a parallel

00:42:46.780 economy to that of the United

00:42:48.400 States and their global

00:42:49.960 empire but what they're

00:42:51.460 trying to present is what's

00:42:53.060 called BRICS bridge for the

00:42:55.320 moment which is going to

00:42:56.280 basically be an alternative to

00:42:58.580 SWIFT it's a project that

00:43:01.000 is goal is getting rid of

00:43:02.460 intermediaries for

00:43:03.480 international transactions

00:43:04.500 made with central bank

00:43:05.680 digital currencies these

00:43:07.340 systems allow payments to

00:43:08.400 make a direct trip between

00:43:10.020 say for instance Indian and

00:43:11.900 Brazilian banks without having

00:43:13.640 to go through an American

00:43:14.580 intermediary benefits of

00:43:16.260 financial transactions do

00:43:17.260 not need to make a stop

00:43:18.200 over or go through SWIFT

00:43:20.700 the Western controlled

00:43:21.600 global payment system

00:43:22.620 between banks which Russia

00:43:24.100 is still currently cut off

00:43:25.640 from as well bypassing

00:43:27.820 Western financial channels

00:43:28.940 also offers a layer of

00:43:29.940 protection against sanctions

00:43:30.940 from G7 countries and their

00:43:32.240 allies since in most cases

00:43:33.720 these sanctions only bite if

00:43:35.340 sanctioned countries firms

00:43:37.000 use Western currencies or have

00:43:38.540 ties to the G7 economies a

00:43:40.480 final advantage of BRICS has

00:43:42.040 to do with with bridge has to

00:43:43.940 do with its digital nature

00:43:45.120 BRIC central banks could

00:43:46.340 easily program a digital

00:43:47.520 mechanism so that it blocks

00:43:48.620 transactions that were

00:43:49.720 counter to their interests

00:43:50.960 or in extreme scenarios

00:43:52.280 restricts Western access to

00:43:54.320 their markets so this is all

00:43:55.360 part of what Dan has been

00:43:56.560 talking about we were living

00:43:57.700 in the multipolar world where

00:43:58.900 America was the one big

00:43:59.980 global superpower Russia this

00:44:02.240 is a another huge way of

00:44:04.520 trying to step outside of

00:44:05.700 America's shadow and

00:44:07.000 establish itself as the main

00:44:09.100 competing global superpower

00:44:10.600 because there's also the threat

00:44:12.300 of China but as you've

00:44:13.580 mentioned China seems to

00:44:14.840 present more of a paper

00:44:15.920 tiger whereas Russia has it

00:44:18.700 is making moves that a lot

00:44:21.080 more I mean both the Chinese

00:44:23.520 and the Russians are pretty

00:44:24.960 savvy diplomatically and I

00:44:28.060 think that they're going to

00:44:29.600 be more of a diplomatic threat

00:44:32.080 than an economic one

00:44:33.480 potentially although the Chinese

00:44:34.680 economy obviously very big but

00:44:36.920 compared to alliance between

00:44:39.220 North America and Europe I

00:44:41.300 think that the economy would

00:44:42.620 outshine but I also think

00:44:43.920 that outside of the United

00:44:45.700 States more competition will

00:44:47.700 actually be good for those

00:44:49.660 countries so if you're say

00:44:51.040 living in Europe this

00:44:52.820 competition might actually

00:44:53.860 potentially be good because

00:44:55.020 the United States will want to

00:44:56.620 be more favorable to their

00:44:58.480 client states basically because

00:45:00.560 they won't want to lose them to

00:45:01.820 the competing group they don't

00:45:04.720 want to they don't want most of

00:45:06.300 Europe to come under the Russian

00:45:07.940 sphere of influence which is one

00:45:09.860 of the main reasons they've

00:45:11.000 been using Ukraine as the proxy

00:45:13.200 for a war against Russia because

00:45:14.840 I think they worry if Russia

00:45:16.380 shows some kind of dominance in

00:45:17.680 it then it would perhaps mean

00:45:19.220 that again America looks weak on

00:45:20.860 the world stage therefore maybe

00:45:22.820 some European countries some who

00:45:25.260 have shown a little bit of

00:45:26.720 sympathy towards Russia maybe

00:45:28.980 might go over that way instead

00:45:30.620 but I personally don't see many of

00:45:33.520 the European countries that have

00:45:34.660 been big backers of Ukraine moving

00:45:37.660 away from the United States for

00:45:40.060 example Britain and not without

00:45:41.760 massive regime no no no I think

00:45:44.320 Britain is going to be very much

00:45:45.440 pegged and a lot of other

00:45:46.820 countries as well to the United

00:45:49.180 States and the US is going to be

00:45:51.760 the main loser if this does

00:45:53.200 continue gaining traction yeah and

00:45:55.240 recently I think it wasn't there a

00:45:57.120 reassertion of Britain's support of

00:46:00.580 Ukraine as long as it takes again

00:46:02.860 was reasserted whilst we're trying to

00:46:04.960 destroy the Kulak class so that we

00:46:06.740 can make up tiny holes in the

00:46:08.000 budget which is a huge gigantic

00:46:11.060 black hole of money so glad to know

00:46:13.980 that we need to destroy the farms

00:46:15.360 whilst we're also throwing as much

00:46:16.900 money as Ukraine needs forever

00:46:18.740 presumably there is only one problem

00:46:21.120 with the bricks bridge at the moment

00:46:22.320 though which is that there is no

00:46:23.860 shared bricks currency and they point

00:46:26.860 out here that without a shared

00:46:28.300 currency most of the other members of

00:46:30.500 bricks are not very enthusiastic about

00:46:32.400 it at the moment I mean if they went

00:46:35.260 into crypto that would be pretty big

00:46:36.900 if they did but we'll see what

00:46:38.880 happens but again speaking about

00:46:40.680 foreign policy the security the

00:46:44.140 intelligence and international state

00:46:46.840 department of America are very

00:46:49.460 worried about Trump and have been

00:46:50.920 trying because they basically knew

00:46:52.480 that Trump was going to get in for a

00:46:54.020 while and they've been making active

00:46:55.760 moves to try and Trump proof Ukraine

00:46:58.100 in the Ukraine because they want to

00:46:59.720 continue the war and Trump wants to

00:47:01.200 make peace basically yeah because he

00:47:03.140 has promised to end the war in

00:47:04.760 Ukraine before he even takes office

00:47:07.000 I mean that's quite the promise

00:47:09.920 yeah that's quite the promise he's

00:47:12.100 criticized US funding of Ukraine's

00:47:14.180 war effort and called for Europe to

00:47:15.540 assume more of the burden of

00:47:16.920 supporting Kiev he labeled Ukrainian

00:47:19.120 President Zelensky the greatest

00:47:21.220 salesman on earth but he did added

00:47:23.060 doesn't mean I don't want to help him

00:47:24.760 because I feel very bad for the

00:47:26.060 Ukrainian people Trump has claimed that

00:47:28.160 it will take him just 24 hours to

00:47:29.920 negotiate an end to the Russia

00:47:31.360 Ukraine war and that he will get it

00:47:32.920 done before his inauguration in

00:47:34.500 January in a July 2023 interview with

00:47:37.100 Fox News he suggested that he would

00:47:38.800 force Zelensky and Putin to the

00:47:41.100 negotiating table by telling the

00:47:42.600 Ukrainian leader that Kiev will get

00:47:44.280 no more USAID and telling the

00:47:46.100 Russian leader that Washington will

00:47:47.920 dramatically increase aid to Kiev if

00:47:50.260 a deal isn't made so typical

00:47:51.920 Trumpian bluster with this kind of

00:47:54.280 thing but it has been shown to be

00:47:56.500 somewhat effective in the past and

00:47:58.320 also it does seem that Putin and

00:48:01.320 Trump are more amenable to one

00:48:03.640 another than Biden ever was towards

00:48:05.380 Putin also it's worth mentioning that

00:48:07.540 Putin wanted Biden to you know to win

00:48:10.560 at one point when he was the

00:48:12.040 candidate and it's also worth

00:48:13.100 mentioning as well that Donald Trump

00:48:14.260 won three Nobel Peace Prizes in in

00:48:17.000 the Middle East I believe wasn't it

00:48:18.140 yeah I mean at least some of them

00:48:19.700 were it was under his

00:48:21.000 administration that the

00:48:21.840 Abraham's Accords were signed so it's

00:48:24.440 probably a lot to do with that

00:48:25.460 JD Vance has expanded on it and said

00:48:27.480 Trump would leave it to the two

00:48:29.140 warring countries as well as Europe

00:48:30.540 to work out the details of a peace

00:48:32.100 agreement but suggested that it would

00:48:33.580 likely entail the establishment of a

00:48:35.440 demilitarized zone along current

00:48:37.280 battle lines allowing Ukraine to

00:48:38.760 retain its sovereignty while forcing

00:48:40.280 it to give up some of its territory

00:48:41.680 currently in Moscow's hands as well as

00:48:45.020 a guarantee that Ukraine will remain

00:48:46.440 neutral meaning it won't join NATO or

00:48:48.520 other allied institutions which is one

00:48:50.400 of the big problems that set off the

00:48:51.660 war in the first place

00:48:52.440 that seemed like the most likely

00:48:54.440 peace agreement for quite some time

00:48:57.260 to be honest I mean again outside of

00:48:59.280 just going into a full-on ground war

00:49:01.400 with Russia mobilizing America and

00:49:05.860 most of Europe as well how are they

00:49:08.560 going to win how is Ukraine going to

00:49:10.700 win they've tried counter-offensive

00:49:12.140 offensives that have failed they've

00:49:14.180 tried to reclaim territory they've got

00:49:15.840 little tiny bits here and there but

00:49:17.180 most of it has been Russia pushing

00:49:19.340 west slowly but surely so how are they

00:49:24.280 going to do it how are they going to do

00:49:25.660 it without getting some kind of peace

00:49:28.240 okay well they fear monger and then say

00:49:33.840 screw it screw it blast them just blast

00:49:38.100 Russia why not we've only got oh god

00:49:41.240 only a few months until Trump gets in and

00:49:43.940 then he's probably going to end this war

00:49:45.340 so uh blast them you know like Frank

00:49:48.640 from it I thought you were referencing

00:49:50.680 that I didn't want to lower the tone

00:49:51.980 but you did it for me yeah so November

00:49:53.740 17th uh when American news outlets

00:49:57.100 reported that Joe Biden had changed

00:49:59.240 course and given Ukraine permission to

00:50:00.800 use the advanced ATACMS otherwise known

00:50:03.860 as ATACMS long-range missiles on Russian

00:50:06.860 soil that's how they describe them in the

00:50:08.680 military they are I think they've got a

00:50:10.900 range of 300 kilometers excuse me so

00:50:14.280 they'd previously had access to American

00:50:17.200 and British missiles that they had

00:50:19.800 fired into Russian territory and some

00:50:22.540 into Russia itself I think some had been

00:50:24.720 fired into Russia back in June but this

00:50:28.320 is the new well they are the longest

00:50:30.560 range missiles that they can fire

00:50:32.240 directly into Russian territory now so

00:50:35.100 this is a worry the decision it says

00:50:36.760 will not dramatically change Ukraine's

00:50:38.420 flagging fortunes on the front lines

00:50:39.780 though it will boost morale and

00:50:41.380 strengthen the country's hand ahead of

00:50:42.880 negotiations pursued by Donald Trump

00:50:44.540 after January 20th America first gave

00:50:47.020 Ukraine high Mars rocket launches in

00:50:49.320 the summer of 2022 although equipped only

00:50:51.760 with short-range GPS guided rockets in

00:50:53.880 late 2023 after over a year of debate it

00:50:56.220 provided the 300 kilometer range ATACMS

00:50:59.160 Ukraine used the weapons to devastating

00:51:01.820 effect in Russian occupied territory

00:51:03.900 including Crimea but was denied permission

00:51:06.120 to fire them over the border into Russia

00:51:07.860 against the airfields ammunition depots and

00:51:10.220 command posts that were being used to

00:51:12.220 strike it it's frequent Ukraine's

00:51:14.300 frequently used its own drones and

00:51:15.700 missiles to strike inside Russia but

00:51:17.760 attack and strikes typically require

00:51:19.360 American assistance with intelligence and

00:51:21.380 targeting Vladimir Putin has said that

00:51:23.900 the use of Western missiles in Russia

00:51:25.320 would constitute direct involvement in the

00:51:28.140 war as of yesterday he has changed

00:51:31.660 Russia's nuclear doctrine to accommodate for

00:51:35.420 that the doctrine now says that an attack

00:51:37.400 from a non-nuclear state Ukraine if backed

00:51:40.900 by a nuclear power the US will be treated

00:51:43.740 as a joint assault on Russia so I think

00:51:47.620 what Putin is doing here is trying to to

00:51:50.300 scare people off rather than actively

00:51:53.100 considering a nuclear strike although this

00:51:56.080 is a game of chicken where Western powers

00:51:59.460 gain very little the consequences could be

00:52:02.420 disastrous but it is worth pointing out as

00:52:04.220 you are that Putin has for the past two

00:52:07.400 years been saying cross this red line

00:52:10.100 we'll fire nukes they cross the red line

00:52:12.220 nothing happens cross this red line we'll

00:52:14.920 fire nukes they cross it again nothing

00:52:17.120 happens even some of the attacks into

00:52:19.180 Crimea were supposedly a red line that

00:52:22.820 would fire nukes and nothing has

00:52:24.620 happened yeah I mean some rabid left

00:52:28.120 wingers might say that Putin is a madman

00:52:30.140 but I don't think that that's a fair

00:52:31.840 characterization of him having listened to

00:52:34.000 him speak you might not agree with his

00:52:37.020 rationales but they're not that of a

00:52:39.320 madman necessarily and I think that he

00:52:41.280 understands that if he launches nuclear

00:52:43.720 weapons at the West then Russia stands to be

00:52:46.580 obliterated and that is in no one's

00:52:48.280 interest and that is very unlikely but then

00:52:51.680 again it's one of those things where do you

00:52:54.780 really want to take that risk because of

00:52:56.960 course the costs of being wrong here are

00:53:01.280 massive you won't be around very long to

00:53:03.780 lament it because you'll be vaporized

00:53:06.000 that that is true but I think Putin knows

00:53:08.460 that if he waits out just a little bit

00:53:10.640 longer for Donald Trump negotiations might

00:53:13.460 actually get on the table at which point

00:53:15.520 we can he can take a bit of territory that

00:53:18.180 he was after anyway Ukraine stays out of

00:53:21.020 NATO and we can go back to some kind of

00:53:23.660 peace deal so hopefully nothing bad

00:53:27.740 happens before then I don't expect

00:53:29.200 nuclear war no I don't expect nuclear war

00:53:31.920 anytime soon but there's always a very

00:53:34.240 very slim chance so I also would like to

00:53:36.860 add as well I really hope that this

00:53:39.680 escalation doesn't result in more

00:53:42.100 innocent people being killed of course

00:53:44.660 more than anything the amount of

00:53:46.440 innocent people that have been killed

00:53:47.740 the amount of young people in Ukraine

00:53:50.320 male and female who have either died or

00:53:52.920 fled the country is an absolute disaster

00:53:55.340 it's also worth mentioning as well that

00:53:56.820 the Russian conscripts might not even

00:53:59.280 agree with the war in the first place

00:54:00.720 they don't have much of a choice no so

00:54:03.680 we'll see what happens I as always am

00:54:06.020 hoping for peace and with that let's

00:54:08.500 read some of the the two the three

00:54:10.440 rumble rants that we've got for this

00:54:12.240 now and then we'll go into the final

00:54:13.860 segment so Glee 777 Biden you would

00:54:17.200 need an F-15 to fight the government

00:54:18.840 farmers say hello to my rapier Sam

00:54:21.160 missile system amazing that's a random

00:54:25.640 name who is disjanja ginger saying we pay

00:54:30.800 pataiga China number one perfect oh if

00:54:37.580 only John was here Bobabad says the

00:54:40.000 Russians calling on auxiliary forces from

00:54:42.000 its Soviet former Soviet spheres the

00:54:43.800 addition of Koreans along with Russia's

00:54:45.420 border with Finland's makes the

00:54:46.560 Finno-Korean hyper war very real ask Bo he

00:54:50.140 knows keeper of secret knowledge

00:54:52.360 thread nor escalating the war so they

00:54:54.960 can grant themselves emergency powers

00:54:56.300 and cancel out the democratic election

00:54:57.980 possibly although I don't see it

00:54:59.920 working I think Putin is smart enough

00:55:02.180 to be able to see that that's the

00:55:03.400 ploy that they would be trying to make

00:55:05.040 here if they are trying to make that

00:55:06.420 ploy and Biden didn't accidentally fall

00:55:08.560 asleep and sign a document while he was

00:55:11.280 snoozing well he's been awfully awake

00:55:13.900 recently he's been pretty cheerful he's

00:55:15.640 been very cheerful when he's been

00:55:16.720 meeting up with Trump in fact he has

00:55:18.340 yeah it's been great I've seen so many

00:55:20.620 wonderful edits of the two of them

00:55:22.320 together it's lovely it's great to see

00:55:23.960 them getting along finally you could

00:55:26.100 tell he missed him you could tell when

00:55:29.140 he was he only ruined the American

00:55:31.320 economy but there was that great part of

00:55:35.940 the debate against Kamala where he said

00:55:37.580 and I tell you another thing he hates

00:55:40.920 her he really hates her and then it cut

00:55:43.360 in the edit that I was watching to

00:55:44.580 Donald Trump looking really sad

00:55:45.980 thinking of all the times they had

00:55:47.780 together quite beautiful anyway let's

00:55:52.260 speak about how evil Keir Starmer is

00:55:54.340 because he is evil he is no good darn

00:55:57.340 tootin stinking rotten human being that

00:56:00.800 Keir Starmer what a sentence yeah and

00:56:04.560 all it takes is a cursory look into his

00:56:06.780 backstory into his history and it's very

00:56:09.060 very easy to find that this man I don't

00:56:11.820 think has contributed a single positive

00:56:14.060 to the human experience in his 60 odd

00:56:18.000 years of life on this planet and I'll be

00:56:21.020 able to back that up with statements

00:56:22.700 because interestingly enough back at the

00:56:25.940 end of June or the beginning of July I

00:56:28.020 think the Times newspaper did a three-part

00:56:31.080 series looking at the history of Keir Starmer

00:56:33.560 that's quite in-depth and detailed that

00:56:35.840 says everything that it needs to know he

00:56:39.020 was never just a boring Blairite bureaucrat

00:56:41.480 even though he presented himself as one

00:56:43.080 and even though I'm pretty certain he has

00:56:45.580 no inner monologue but yeah he doesn't

00:56:48.600 dream he doesn't have thoughts doesn't

00:56:50.900 read books he just executes legislation

00:56:53.580 like an android I mean he makes how in

00:56:57.120 2001 a space odyssey look far more human

00:57:00.020 than him or the android from alien as well

00:57:03.740 yeah well at least in Hal in 2001 Hal

00:57:07.620 sings a little nursery rhyme at the end

00:57:09.480 and it's quite sad even though he's an

00:57:11.920 evil android that's a evil evil AI that's

00:57:15.620 gone off it's correct that's gone crazy I

00:57:17.860 don't think Keir Starmer knows any

00:57:19.760 nursery rhymes he doesn't know music he

00:57:23.560 doesn't conceive of it it's a series of

00:57:26.060 ones and zeros for old Keir but first

00:57:30.500 we've got a new YouTube channel called

00:57:32.600 Lotus Seaters Daily that you should

00:57:33.880 check out it's not got any videos on it

00:57:35.960 yet but by the time that this video

00:57:37.420 comes out on YouTube it should have

00:57:38.840 one or two it's not going to be

00:57:40.840 replacing the daily podcast it is going

00:57:42.640 to be alongside the daily podcast is

00:57:44.940 going to be more focused shorter

00:57:47.160 videos where one at a time we look at

00:57:49.440 some articles or videos talk about them

00:57:52.640 and it should be a little bit more fun

00:57:54.160 as well it's more stuff for you

00:57:55.780 freeloaders so sign up to our website

00:57:57.920 so that's right do the shaming tactics

00:58:01.260 it's always work for me do it tell them

00:58:03.120 how poor they are to prove you're not

00:58:05.800 poor sign up to our website so I can

00:58:08.160 stop being poor and living in my

00:58:09.580 Swindon hovel but also if you have

00:58:11.640 signed up to our website you're a very

00:58:13.200 nice person and thank you very much and

00:58:14.840 we love you yes cheers Josh loves you

00:58:17.280 and he will be doing willing to do

00:58:18.920 anything to prove that that is true I

00:58:20.920 do mean anything anything all right so

00:58:23.800 here's a Keir Starmer jump scare oh my

00:58:27.300 goodness sorry sorry to do that to you

00:58:29.540 all so here's the first part of this

00:58:31.120 three-part series I won't be going over

00:58:32.460 all three parts I'll be taking bits and

00:58:35.540 pieces from the first two and then

00:58:37.460 looking at a little bit of extra

00:58:38.640 documentation regarding Keir Starmer's

00:58:40.900 case history mainly because let's

00:58:42.980 remember for most of his career Keir

00:58:45.280 Starmer before he became director of

00:58:47.280 public prosecutions in 2008 was a human

00:58:50.960 rights lawyer and he is exactly the

00:58:55.560 kind that we on this in this country

00:58:57.760 have hated for a very very long time

00:59:00.420 because what is it as a human rights

00:59:02.660 lawyer that he specialized in

00:59:04.560 rapists and murderers and terrorists

00:59:09.520 pretty close pretty close yes defending

00:59:12.160 murderers and terrorists and making sure

00:59:15.720 that they either a do not get the chop on

00:59:18.500 death row or b do not get deported and

00:59:21.400 also as a little added bonus that if

00:59:23.680 they had control orders under Tony

00:59:25.900 Blair's government if they were a

00:59:27.140 terrorist suspect that they did not

00:59:28.900 have to abide by the control orders

00:59:30.820 which would have meant that their

00:59:31.780 movement was restricted for 18 hours

00:59:33.880 per day and instead had free movement

00:59:35.880 across the country because when

00:59:37.340 someone suspected of terrorism that's

00:59:39.340 what you want you want them to be able to

00:59:41.000 move freely through the country through

00:59:43.100 your communities thank you Keir for

00:59:46.200 your work in in human rights that's

00:59:49.400 right the human right for terrorists to

00:59:51.900 be in your communities because

00:59:53.320 everyone knows the most oppressed group

00:59:54.940 in Britain are terrorists and so they

00:59:58.020 need they need help persecuted

00:59:59.840 everywhere they go I know yeah

01:00:01.380 everyone's so hostile to them it's

01:00:03.820 just bigotry it's anti-terrorist

01:00:05.280 bigotry makes you wonder why so

01:00:06.800 anyway in this first one it takes up to

01:00:08.800 the year about 2000 so let's go through

01:00:11.600 some of the more notable things that

01:00:12.940 it mentions in here so it goes back to

01:00:14.040 his time in university Oxford where he

01:00:17.580 had been member a member of the

01:00:19.300 editorial collective for a Marxist

01:00:21.880 journal Socialist Alternatives

01:00:23.780 affiliated with an obscure Greek

01:00:25.820 Trotskyist Michaelis Raptist

01:00:28.460 Raptis sorry it had and yes that is an

01:00:32.700 anagram look at that young Starmer

01:00:34.660 thing that looks like the lamest

01:00:37.000 electro it's it's like a new wave band

01:00:40.320 it is yeah one of the really bad ones

01:00:42.340 that came off the the coattails of new

01:00:44.240 order yeah you get new order and then

01:00:46.280 you get whatever this is it has a focus

01:00:49.780 on green issues women rights and gay

01:00:51.780 equality he was radical as a barrister

01:00:54.720 certainly which in the 80s was still a

01:00:56.540 very conservative profession said

01:00:58.440 Gavin Miller Casey a colleague throughout

01:01:00.700 his legal career we were doing what was

01:01:03.000 called civil liberties work during the

01:01:04.840 bar during the Thatcher years when it

01:01:06.800 was very very difficult it wasn't

01:01:08.440 terribly well paid it was elite it was

01:01:10.640 all legal aid or at best a trade union

01:01:13.000 would fund you or an NGO thank you NGOs

01:01:16.120 and thank you Thatcher for helping to

01:01:17.840 expand the NGO network so they could

01:01:19.760 fund your ideological enemies that was

01:01:23.240 one of Thatcher's big things was she

01:01:25.000 opened up the good the political market

01:01:27.040 for all of the people who hated her so

01:01:29.440 good job there he developed a strong

01:01:31.620 academic interest in criminology and

01:01:33.340 pornography why do people offend how do

01:01:36.720 we deal with them how do we prosecute

01:01:39.160 them and punish them and how to

01:01:41.360 rehabilitate them how do you rehabilitate

01:01:44.740 a terrorist that's the question isn't

01:01:47.480 it Keir Starnell wanted to put his mind

01:01:49.620 to that but that's a very difficult and

01:01:52.220 interesting area of the law and it's a

01:01:53.720 really sharp area of the law as far as

01:01:55.420 human rights are concerned that was his

01:01:58.020 first love he was very interested in the

01:02:01.000 rights of criminal suspects and prisoners

01:02:02.920 that's in this article so there you go

01:02:05.520 straight away from the beginning he was

01:02:08.060 always on their side not your side he

01:02:12.500 always looked at the criminal as someone

01:02:14.540 being persecuted by society rather than

01:02:17.340 as somebody being justly punished for

01:02:20.200 victimizing other people it is worth

01:02:22.300 pointing out as well he was the editor of a

01:02:24.780 Marxist publication and the Marxists in

01:02:28.380 Russia one of the first things they did was

01:02:30.200 release all of the criminals because the

01:02:32.440 Keir Starmer did within his first few

01:02:34.220 weeks of office of being prime minister

01:02:36.480 it's funny that isn't it it's almost

01:02:38.500 like there are parallels it's almost

01:02:39.960 like he's behaving like an actual

01:02:42.340 historic communist I mean to be fair

01:02:45.300 this is easily the closest this country's

01:02:49.020 ever come to an actual like Stalinist

01:02:51.460 government it is actually and that's not

01:02:54.180 even being hyperbolic I mean we're not

01:02:56.280 quite the level of tax rates of the

01:02:58.920 1960s yet but we're getting there slowly

01:03:01.360 aren't we yes and certainly the over use

01:03:04.020 of political power to punish your

01:03:06.140 enemies it might not be as brutal and

01:03:08.680 straightforward as Stalin just sending

01:03:10.900 people to come and shoot you but he

01:03:14.020 still has sent the police to go and

01:03:15.620 actively persecute his enemies he sent

01:03:18.000 the police to arrest people on the

01:03:19.640 street now he's persecuting the kulaks

01:03:21.980 it all fits just the other day a soldier

01:03:24.960 got two years in prison for basically

01:03:27.440 posting stuff that we talk about all the

01:03:30.500 time about Islam it was pretty tepid

01:03:33.600 stuff actually and the there was a case

01:03:36.540 of an actual paedophile who didn't get

01:03:42.780 any prison time because that's what this

01:03:46.340 country does it gives suspended

01:03:47.600 sentences to paedophiles and patriots who

01:03:49.940 are annoyed at the fact that foreigners

01:03:51.280 can come into their country and murder

01:03:52.740 children they get two years the young

01:03:55.780 Starmer joined and later became

01:03:57.460 secretary of the Haldane Society of

01:03:59.640 Socialist Lawyers Starmer proclaimed his

01:04:02.000 idealistic views in the society's

01:04:03.780 magazine Socialist Lawyer he and co-author

01:04:06.460 and a co-author argued for trade unions

01:04:08.700 to aspire to socialist self-management

01:04:11.420 and declared that collective bargaining

01:04:13.260 was insufficient because it failed to

01:04:15.320 involve ownership of the means of

01:04:16.660 production he wrote in 1995 saying that

01:04:20.320 we could do worse than to begin by

01:04:22.160 dismantling those common law rules

01:04:24.100 governing the property entitlement

01:04:25.600 entitlements of private parties which for

01:04:28.300 almost a thousand years judges have been

01:04:30.500 happy to regard as pre-political norms

01:04:33.040 dismantle private property and a thousand

01:04:38.300 years judges recognizing it as pre-political

01:04:40.920 norms because that was simply British

01:04:43.140 tradition you as an Englishman as a Brit had

01:04:47.520 the right of property but private property is

01:04:50.100 so ingrained into human beings that even

01:04:53.160 non-human primates understand the concept of

01:04:56.520 private property to a certain extent

01:04:58.140 but again people have said since these

01:05:02.040 articles have come out since people have

01:05:03.480 looked into his background they've said

01:05:04.660 this was young Starmer this was what he

01:05:08.280 thought then he's learned a lot since then

01:05:11.020 and feels differently now I disagree because

01:05:14.020 he seems to very much be behaving in the way

01:05:17.420 that you would expect of somebody coming to

01:05:19.720 power who wrote these kinds of things

01:05:21.460 because what's the first thing he's doing he's

01:05:23.200 using laws and like inheritance tax to

01:05:26.600 subtly not so subtly force farmers into

01:05:30.880 selling off their property selling off their

01:05:33.220 land which has been in their family for

01:05:35.520 generations and generations and people

01:05:37.800 have been coming out using Marxist language

01:05:39.680 like saying that they are hoarding that

01:05:41.400 land yeah well all he's done is rebranded

01:05:44.420 himself he's not really changed I don't

01:05:46.400 really believe that people can change in

01:05:48.960 their adult life very much no and it seems

01:05:51.580 that a lot of the changes happened when he

01:05:54.060 became director of public prosecutions

01:05:55.880 which more than anything seems like a

01:05:57.540 pragmatic change of the way he presented

01:06:00.340 himself more than anything to do with his

01:06:02.760 actual beliefs yeah agree he changed how

01:06:05.000 he behaved a little bit purely for

01:06:07.320 pragmatic reasons he didn't change what he

01:06:10.120 doesn't make it better in any ways that

01:06:11.660 makes it worse oh yeah it's dishonest when

01:06:14.480 Starmer was interviewed as an earnest young

01:06:16.320 man for tenancy at chambers he said that

01:06:18.700 prison did not work for who I mean doesn't

01:06:23.040 work for the criminals it doesn't help it

01:06:25.680 doesn't work I suppose if you want to

01:06:27.060 rehabilitate them but I don't think the

01:06:28.900 prison should be for rehabilitation I think

01:06:30.640 it should be to make sure that violent

01:06:32.080 criminals are not on the streets I mean if

01:06:35.600 you have a situation where there is a

01:06:37.340 justice system and a prison system versus a

01:06:40.600 complete absence of punishment I think we

01:06:43.460 know which one will have more crime certainly

01:06:47.080 well we can we can go to a case study of

01:06:49.640 that in just a moment but first Starmer

01:06:51.980 had been called to the bar in 1987 and

01:06:53.740 until 1990 Liberty employed him as a legal

01:06:56.440 officer and it's important to point out

01:06:58.440 that in the late 1970s Liberty was a

01:07:01.880 political action group formerly known as

01:07:03.800 the NCCL that most notoriously oh god

01:07:09.160 excuse me I'm so sorry this really has

01:07:12.380 taken effect that notoriously worked with

01:07:15.580 Pi which for those who don't know Pi was

01:07:19.200 the British paedophile information

01:07:21.440 exchange and one of their founding members

01:07:25.160 sat on the NCCL's gay rights commission

01:07:28.200 here Starmer chose to work for them in

01:07:31.400 the 1990 from the 87 till 1990 so that's

01:07:34.960 very interesting the idealistic Starmer

01:07:36.960 worked pro bono for free for the death

01:07:39.840 penalty project a charity run out of the

01:07:42.000 law firm Simons Muirhead Burton that

01:07:44.740 receives funding from the foreign office

01:07:46.380 European Union and charitable foundations

01:07:48.220 and rights and fights the death penalty

01:07:50.400 around the world again he's fighting for

01:07:52.940 the criminals not the victims yeah the

01:07:55.680 death penalty by the way I think is one

01:07:59.000 of the most just punishments for certain

01:08:01.980 crimes in that like murder yeah if a

01:08:04.720 murderer gets imprisoned for example the

01:08:07.760 then the victim's family has to pay for

01:08:09.940 the incarceration the housing and upkeep

01:08:12.980 of the person that killed their beloved

01:08:15.340 family member how is that justice I don't

01:08:17.800 I don't think it is at all it certainly

01:08:19.600 isn't but let's see how Starmer dealt

01:08:21.880 with this injustice well one of his

01:08:23.460 earliest death penalty cases involved two

01:08:25.460 men convicted of murder Earl Pratt and

01:08:27.700 Ivan Morgan who had spent 14 years on

01:08:30.040 death row in Jamaica they were set to be

01:08:32.260 executed but given three last minute

01:08:34.900 reprieves Starmer argued that the mental

01:08:37.880 torment during the prisoners long time

01:08:40.320 awaiting execution was inhumane and

01:08:43.200 therefore violated Jamaica's

01:08:44.740 constitution in 1993 the Privy Council

01:08:47.920 agreed ruling that a delay of more than

01:08:49.960 five years in carrying out a death

01:08:51.500 sentence was cruel and inhumane and

01:08:53.840 therefore unconstitutional well I mean

01:08:56.060 I'm all in favor of speeding up the

01:08:58.440 process I mean once they've been been

01:09:00.460 found guilty particularly if you know

01:09:02.460 it's incontrovertible incontrovertible

01:09:04.680 sorry evidence that they've murdered

01:09:06.320 someone why not do it you know from

01:09:10.660 judge to gallows like that why mess

01:09:13.480 around in the middle easy but that was

01:09:15.640 the case that he supposedly made his name

01:09:17.440 on and in December 2000 Starmer was

01:09:19.860 named the Liberty and Justice Human

01:09:21.240 Rights Lawyer of the Year a noble

01:09:22.980 achievement judges singled out his work

01:09:25.320 representing murderers facing execution

01:09:27.800 as well as training their lawyers in the

01:09:30.140 Caribbean so not only did he prevent

01:09:31.880 murderers from reaching the gallows he

01:09:33.980 then helped to train other lawyers to

01:09:36.860 do the same thing you know what they

01:09:38.740 say about lawyers and how if I say many

01:09:42.980 things about actually I'm in this

01:09:45.260 profession I'm likely to get sued at

01:09:47.180 some point so lawyers you're good but

01:09:49.300 otherwise you know I was gonna say yeah

01:09:51.700 Starmer has said of his fight against

01:09:53.520 executions he had become frustrated that

01:09:55.560 we were only going about them case by

01:09:57.460 case when what was needed was wider

01:09:59.240 change so then I got into a strategic

01:10:01.840 litigation he told the alumni magazine

01:10:04.480 for the University of Leeds can we pick

01:10:06.760 cases that will change the whole law for

01:10:09.660 an entire class of people that class

01:10:12.520 being murderers the criminal class yes he

01:10:16.240 decided this is me editorializing now that

01:10:19.340 murderers needed better treatment this was

01:10:23.860 not something that he did out of necessity

01:10:25.620 like many of the other cases we'll see

01:10:27.760 they'll try and say that oh he only

01:10:29.420 defended this or that terrorist because

01:10:31.060 of cab rules which means that if you have

01:10:33.580 the time free in your diary and it's your

01:10:35.580 specialist area of expertise as a lawyer

01:10:40.260 you have to take the case on this was

01:10:42.520 something that he felt out of an ideological

01:10:44.480 obligation to pursue justice as he saw it

01:10:47.560 which was making sure that on a worldwide

01:10:50.920 global scale the death penalty for

01:10:53.700 murderers was wrong boo okay Starmer and

01:10:58.860 Fitzgerald were instrumental in looking

01:11:00.580 at how we might try to change the law or

01:11:02.920 get countries to develop their systems

01:11:04.700 hundreds were previously on death row in

01:11:06.680 the West Indies now the punishment was

01:11:08.820 all but gone and in fact was I think

01:11:11.520 abandoned in Jamaica now Jamaica as the

01:11:15.520 case study has the highest murder rate in

01:11:17.760 the world great job Starmer great job

01:11:21.860 you've done wonders for Jamaica labor

01:11:24.520 pledged to bring in a British bill of

01:11:26.220 rights in its victorious 1997 general

01:11:28.100 election manifesto and Tony Blair's human

01:11:29.740 rights act was passed in 1998 which of

01:11:32.180 course basically brought the ECHR into

01:11:35.000 British legislation it sanctified

01:11:37.360 everything that was in the European

01:11:39.820 human rights to Britain in an article for

01:11:43.860 the independent in early 1999 Starmer

01:11:46.260 wrote of hopes of the act would create a

01:11:48.020 human rights culture in the UK again

01:11:50.020 that just means goes easier on criminals

01:11:52.260 the start date had been delayed until

01:11:54.360 2000 so judges and tribunal members could

01:11:56.720 be trained in human rights law training

01:11:59.280 that he helped to deliver the idea of

01:12:02.040 dirty streets training magistrates and

01:12:04.220 police is bizarre said Starmer but we are

01:12:07.460 writing the manuals that year 2000 he

01:12:10.660 wrote the guide to the act analyzing the

01:12:12.720 law in 1500 Strasburg cases that affected

01:12:15.560 the UK the textbook kind of took the legal

01:12:19.100 world by storm said McKay this was a book

01:12:22.240 with academic and forensic rigor but

01:12:24.740 inherently pragmatic for this new wave of

01:12:26.900 lawyers that would be working with the

01:12:28.680 human rights act so he literally wrote the

01:12:31.740 textbook

01:12:32.280 he wrote the textbook not even in a figure of

01:12:38.280 speech the actual textbook it's also worth

01:12:40.480 mentioning as well a quick caveat here we're

01:12:42.400 not against the notion of you know actual

01:12:45.460 human rights but the way that they're being

01:12:47.280 used is a cloak to advocate for criminals we

01:12:50.900 don't think that you know the rights of

01:12:52.880 criminals should trump the rights of their

01:12:54.540 victims I think that's that's fair to say

01:12:56.400 no absolutely human rights as a basis for

01:13:00.040 justice are fine and have a great tradition

01:13:04.200 both legal and moral going back a thousand

01:13:07.580 years plus certainly in Britain the way that

01:13:11.360 it's been operated since at least the

01:13:12.880 Blairite years if not before as we've seen in

01:13:15.060 this art in this article it's turned on its

01:13:17.640 head it used to be the human rights of the

01:13:20.120 citizen of the subject of the crown of

01:13:22.100 England now it seems to be the human rights

01:13:24.640 of the criminal who we used to just

01:13:27.200 execute for basically willy-nilly reasons

01:13:29.820 back in Britain a few years a few hundred

01:13:31.520 years ago but now it's flipped so much the

01:13:34.340 opposite way that we prioritize the human

01:13:37.460 rights of the criminal who has victimized

01:13:39.920 innocent people that is how this country

01:13:41.880 operates now I would argue that the death

01:13:43.840 penalty is the bedrock of any good noble

01:13:48.220 civilization because you can't have these

01:13:50.860 people either being a burden economically

01:13:53.540 or a burden in terms of killing people

01:13:56.540 it has been argued that the liberal use of

01:13:59.460 the death penalty in Britain and completely

01:14:02.200 eliminating almost the entire bottom one

01:14:05.860 percent criminal class of the country is

01:14:08.500 one of the things that opened up freedoms

01:14:10.360 for the rest of the people in this country

01:14:11.860 to create the industrial revolution being

01:14:14.640 harsh on crime is the bedrock of having

01:14:17.260 freedom in my opinion you need to kill

01:14:19.980 criminals so that you can be free

01:14:22.200 certainly I agree with that but let's

01:14:24.420 take a look at the one of the Jamaican

01:14:26.140 cases that he looked over that got the

01:14:28.900 got the death penalty abolished and this

01:14:32.400 is back in 2004 UK limits Jamaica death

01:14:35.760 sentence the mandatory death penalty for

01:14:37.560 murder in Jamaica so this was if you

01:14:39.680 murdered somebody if you were convicted of

01:14:41.320 murder in Jamaica you've got a mandatory

01:14:43.160 death penalty seems perfectly fair to me

01:14:45.220 yep was abolished on Wednesday the 7th of

01:14:49.400 July 2004 clearly a dark dark day for

01:14:53.360 Jamaica it was a historic judgment from

01:14:56.180 nine judges sitting in London the appeal

01:14:58.920 was on behalf of four death row prisoners

01:15:00.560 Charles Matthews from Trinidad Lennox Boyce

01:15:03.800 and Jeffrey Joseph from Barbados and

01:15:06.060 Jamaican Lambert Watson three leading

01:15:08.100 English QCs Queen Councils Nicholas Blake

01:15:11.540 Edward Fitzgerald and Keir Starmer argued

01:15:15.040 their cases free of charge another pro

01:15:17.400 bono case how very kind of him Matthews

01:15:20.480 was sentenced for death to death in

01:15:22.340 1999 for killing his former lover out of

01:15:24.340 jealousy Boyce and Joseph were jointly

01:15:26.880 convicted in 2002 of the murder of

01:15:29.160 Markel Hippolite 22 years old and the

01:15:32.500 same year Watson received the death

01:15:35.640 sentence for stabbing to death his nine

01:15:38.380 month old daughter and her mother and

01:15:41.840 Keir Starmer decided free of charge these

01:15:46.200 were the cases that he was going to these

01:15:48.040 were the people he was going to defend

01:15:49.200 Keir Starmer cares more about child

01:15:51.520 murderers than the murdered child and her

01:15:55.920 mother or or his mother certainly that's

01:15:58.680 what it appears to me I'll try and speed

01:16:00.080 through some of this now because I've got

01:16:01.540 a little bit more to go through but I'll

01:16:02.820 try and get through it as quick as

01:16:03.760 possible so this is going into the second

01:16:05.320 part of his career from the 2000 to

01:16:07.940 about 2008 when he became director of

01:16:10.080 public prosecutions so this is when

01:16:12.000 again he was still a human rights

01:16:13.740 lawyer this is when he began to really

01:16:15.720 make his name defending terrorists the

01:16:18.480 Labour government had painted itself

01:16:19.800 into a corner because of its dedication

01:16:21.340 to human rights it knew that dangerous

01:16:23.080 jihadists were active in Britain

01:16:24.460 someone comfortable close to Osama bin

01:16:26.300 Laden's movement but if they came from

01:16:28.020 countries where they were at risk of

01:16:29.560 ill treatment it would be a breach of

01:16:31.160 their rights to deport them oh we hear

01:16:33.380 about this daily now don't we yep if

01:16:35.520 evidence against terrorists came from

01:16:37.200 confidential intelligence sources

01:16:38.700 suspects could not be prosecuted

01:16:40.340 without endangering British spies and

01:16:42.000 their informers yet detention without

01:16:43.780 trial would also breach suspects human

01:16:46.060 rights as Labour home secretaries

01:16:48.040 wrestled with how to protect the public

01:16:49.460 from the growing jihadi threat Keir

01:16:51.360 Starmer by then one of Britain's leading

01:16:53.740 human rights lawyers became a regular

01:16:55.860 fixture in the law courts seeking to

01:16:57.920 persuade judges to free or relax

01:16:59.740 restrictions on terrorist suspects

01:17:01.880 Starmer found holes in the Labour

01:17:03.660 government's counter-terrorism

01:17:04.840 legislation causing headaches for

01:17:06.800 ministers in February 2007 his

01:17:09.520 Doherty Street chain is that how you

01:17:10.780 pronounce it by the way what's that

01:17:12.060 sorry Doherty Street is it is it or is

01:17:14.840 not I'm not familiar street I don't

01:17:16.520 know I don't know made a public

01:17:17.860 statement noting Starmer's third high

01:17:19.660 court victory in a row against the

01:17:21.240 home secretary John Reed's control

01:17:22.920 orders a form of house arrest that

01:17:24.360 curtailed the movement and activities

01:17:26.000 of terrorist suspects lawyers point out

01:17:28.160 that Starmer was obliged to accept the

01:17:30.300 cases under the cab rank rule that

01:17:32.540 barristers must accept briefs if they

01:17:34.320 are asked and have space in their

01:17:36.340 diaries one former Whitehall senior

01:17:38.480 Whitehall figure quipped that Starmer

01:17:40.940 was in a cab rank it was the one outside

01:17:43.140 Finsbury Park mosque and that there is

01:17:46.100 something worth mentioning here that

01:17:47.420 could have disincentivized lots of

01:17:49.460 terror attacks is that what you can do to

01:17:53.720 disincentivize terrorists but is a

01:17:56.480 human rights violation is you bury their

01:17:59.660 remains at sea which means you don't go

01:18:01.400 to heaven in Islam there are lots of

01:18:03.520 other things you know you can soak your

01:18:05.020 bullets in pig's blood for example which

01:18:07.200 is definitely against you know all sorts

01:18:10.740 of weird human rights conventions and

01:18:12.820 things like that you know there are lots

01:18:15.140 of ways in which Muslim terrorists

01:18:17.520 believe that they will not go to heaven

01:18:20.040 and be rewarded for their actions that we

01:18:22.500 have not taken because of human rights

01:18:24.300 lawyers I would argue that these human

01:18:26.000 rights lawyers are complicit in the

01:18:28.680 murder of innocent people by defending

01:18:31.520 them well certainly and people have

01:18:33.380 pointed out well you know he's done the

01:18:34.640 cab rank rules the thing is as well in

01:18:36.980 this article that they go to some

01:18:38.280 opposing opinions to that saying well

01:18:41.120 they came to Keir Starmer because he

01:18:43.760 became the go-to guy he became the go-to

01:18:48.140 guy for terrorist suspects Osama's top guy

01:18:51.520 Osama's top guy he's kind of like better

01:18:53.580 call Saul but for terrorists it's not a

01:18:59.340 reputation you want yeah so in great

01:19:01.360 series though yeah in February this year

01:19:03.440 Starmer's office claimed credit for the

01:19:05.200 Labour leader having overseen the

01:19:06.540 deportation of countless terrorists when

01:19:08.400 he was director of public prosecutions

01:19:09.980 from 2008 to 2013 basically when he

01:19:12.220 decided he needed a bit of a public image

01:19:14.060 change before his career in politics

01:19:15.760 before that era because in fact it says

01:19:18.920 in here that Ed Miliband in 2008 was

01:19:21.180 already introducing him to other people

01:19:23.540 in the Labour Party saying that he's

01:19:25.680 probably going to start a career in

01:19:27.200 politics soon so clearly this was all

01:19:30.240 very intentional from him saying thinking

01:19:33.000 to himself I'm gonna need to get a

01:19:35.020 better reputation before I go into

01:19:36.600 politics or people aren't gonna vote for

01:19:38.500 me before that era though terrorism

01:19:41.000 suspects facing deportation were among

01:19:43.040 his clients a suspect known as why a close

01:19:45.620 associate of Abu Hamza ran the bookshop at

01:19:48.460 Finsbury Park mosque in London and made

01:19:51.120 copies of recipes for explosives and

01:19:53.360 toxins wire was cleared at the old bailey

01:19:55.600 of an alleged al-qaeda ricin plot to

01:19:57.920 poison the public but was ordered to be

01:19:59.860 deported as a danger to British security

01:20:02.120 in his native Algeria he was under a

01:20:04.620 death sentence for organizing an armed

01:20:06.320 group so the kind of guy you want

01:20:08.300 desperately to stay in your country it's

01:20:09.840 funny that the Islamic countries that

01:20:12.700 these people come from quite often want to

01:20:15.400 kill them as well it's almost like we've

01:20:17.280 absorbed the scum of the world well

01:20:19.260 that's what many Muslim countries say

01:20:20.760 about the Muslims that come to our

01:20:22.160 country and this isn't what I'm saying

01:20:24.240 but you know you talk to people about

01:20:27.600 the migrant crisis or mass immigration

01:20:29.860 and they they say oh it's great for us

01:20:32.420 because you take all the people we don't

01:20:34.140 want yeah we take the criminal classes

01:20:36.180 from countries that are by the way no one

01:20:39.440 in Britain would want to live in in the

01:20:41.000 first place so why would you want them as

01:20:42.260 your neighbor the lowest people in the

01:20:44.080 society yeah but can you guess who

01:20:45.520 represented why was it Keir Starmer yep

01:20:49.400 operating under cab rank rule he

01:20:51.500 successfully argued at the court of

01:20:53.080 appeal that the deportation should be

01:20:54.600 reconsidered to ensure why was eligible

01:20:56.760 for an amnesty under a peace process to

01:20:59.360 end Algeria's civil war otherwise a

01:21:01.900 return to his home country might breach

01:21:04.140 his human rights one of Starmer's other

01:21:06.740 early terrorism cases represent was

01:21:08.580 representing al-qaeda terrorist Khalid al-Fawaz

01:21:11.620 who was fighting his extradition from

01:21:13.480 Britain to the US in 2000 for conspiring

01:21:15.680 with Osama bin Laden to bomb American

01:21:17.860 embassies Starmer also represented

01:21:19.880 for was under the cab rank rule and it's

01:21:21.840 just amazing how he always seemed to have

01:21:23.900 time free in his diary for all of these

01:21:26.840 terrorists who would come to him that's

01:21:28.180 that's incredible the kind of terrorism

01:21:30.180 cases Starmer fought led to a political

01:21:32.180 backlash about human rights Tony Blair

01:21:34.620 said that should legal objections rise to

01:21:36.820 the deportation of terrorist suspects

01:21:38.500 labor would rewrite the Human Rights Act if

01:21:41.260 necessary so he was too radical even for

01:21:44.240 Blair that's quite something isn't it

01:21:47.320 because Blair in the Labour Party is

01:21:49.620 seen as the right wing of the party and

01:21:51.280 Starmer was seen to be cut from that ilk

01:21:53.600 but he's actually hidden just how radical

01:21:55.740 he is but with his track record you can

01:21:58.840 see that you know actually a lot of people

01:22:01.500 in the Labour Party might be like hang on

01:22:03.420 a minute this guy's pretty extreme yeah

01:22:05.380 even for Labour this guy is pretty insane

01:22:08.180 he just had a better image management than

01:22:11.800 Jeremy Corbyn who he was being presented

01:22:13.840 as way to the right of when he took when

01:22:17.260 he assumed as leader of the Labour Party

01:22:19.560 then you can go to this case from 2003

01:22:22.080 which is a very important case which I

01:22:24.380 can read about from this article this

01:22:26.640 paper from the Henry Jackson Society from

01:22:30.540 a few years ago where they were talking

01:22:31.600 about the prospective immigration policy of

01:22:33.660 Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party and it

01:22:36.300 speaks about in here in 2003 six asylum

01:22:39.860 seekers took the government to court and

01:22:42.140 Starmer legally represented five of them

01:22:44.500 the case rested on whether the Home Office

01:22:46.480 but led by Lord David Blunkett could

01:22:48.960 refuse to support asylum seekers who did

01:22:51.440 not claim asylum as soon as they arrived

01:22:53.400 in the country I don't think we should be

01:22:54.740 supporting them at all but that's just

01:22:56.820 my opinion agreed the claimants won the

01:22:59.280 case with Starmer's representation and the

01:23:01.140 case decided that asylum seekers must be

01:23:03.560 supported regardless of how soon after

01:23:05.840 their arrival their asylum case is made

01:23:07.780 so just get into the country five years

01:23:11.960 later you've been living here illegally

01:23:13.620 shouldn't be here in the first place

01:23:15.000 I'd like some benefits now make your case

01:23:18.400 there you go sorted Blunkett remained

01:23:21.140 adamant in his position and announced

01:23:22.800 his intention to fight the case in the

01:23:24.260 Court of Appeal he said shortly after

01:23:25.840 the ruling that frankly I'm personally

01:23:27.580 fed up with having to deal with a

01:23:28.920 situation where Parliament debates issues

01:23:30.780 and the judges then overturned them we

01:23:33.220 were aware of the circumstances we did

01:23:35.400 mean what we said and on behalf of the

01:23:37.080 British people we're going to implement

01:23:38.420 it so that's a good point that's being

01:23:39.680 made there right so our elected

01:23:42.240 representatives are the MPs in the House

01:23:44.460 of Parliament their entire job is to

01:23:46.000 debate this kind of legislation and make

01:23:48.040 these decisions on behalf of the British

01:23:49.500 people who they are again representing

01:23:52.080 they make these decisions and then

01:23:53.960 random human rights lawyers come and say

01:23:56.220 no you can't do that actually nobody's

01:23:58.460 elected them nobody wants them but they

01:24:01.940 get to make these sweeping changes to

01:24:04.000 how British society is managed including

01:24:06.840 making sure that terrorist suspects are

01:24:09.640 out on your streets in your communities and

01:24:12.220 that is all thanks to Keir Starmer who

01:24:15.620 wrote the textbook on how to do it

01:24:18.800 and I'm not actually done there because

01:24:23.300 there's one other little bit of this

01:24:24.660 document which is very very interesting

01:24:26.300 which is during this period because

01:24:29.760 obviously you've got the cab rank rule

01:24:31.280 right so he had to represent those that

01:24:33.660 he just had to represent those terrorists

01:24:35.320 because he had the space free in his

01:24:36.700 diary what coincidence but during this

01:24:39.740 period Starmer also represented many

01:24:42.040 cases abroad of which a significant

01:24:44.260 portion concern the rights of those

01:24:46.100 claiming refugee status one overseas case

01:24:49.400 involves representing his his utah tari at

01:24:54.100 the ECHR I'll call them HT HT gained

01:24:58.080 notoriety as a radical international

01:25:00.020 organization accused of supporting

01:25:01.660 terrorism and anti-semitism in 2008

01:25:04.380 Starmer led a team which made an

01:25:05.680 application to the ECHR arguing for the

01:25:07.700 German ban on HT to be overturned on

01:25:10.300 human rights grounds so he was leading

01:25:12.760 that team and they point out importantly

01:25:15.200 this case may have qualified as foreign

01:25:17.400 work since the dispute itself related to

01:25:19.860 Germany and the ECHR is based in

01:25:21.980 Strasburg under a foreign work exception

01:25:24.320 to the cab rank rule Starmer would not

01:25:26.820 have been bound to represent HT and

01:25:29.580 would have had every right to refuse the

01:25:31.500 case but he didn't so there you go

01:25:34.960 let's go on to the video comments

01:25:38.540 I will go through the rumble rants first

01:25:43.180 so I'll read through some of these

01:25:44.300 Caleb Knight how to rehabilitate a

01:25:47.040 terrorist clockwork orange maybe Bobo bad

01:25:50.200 Keir's new wave band was pretty good you

01:25:52.480 know they were the heavy petting shop

01:25:54.260 book hit song West African boys and

01:25:56.960 East block girls that was good yeah

01:25:59.480 that's a random name growing up

01:26:01.300 teachers were constantly trying to

01:26:02.380 indoctrinate us but against the death

01:26:04.120 penalty and excessive punishment etc the

01:26:07.080 only students who bought into this were

01:26:08.740 the rich kids some of them I think

01:26:10.800 school being the thing that

01:26:12.540 indoctrinates you against excessive

01:26:14.100 punishment isn't a bit rich considering

01:26:16.720 how many detentions I got at school and

01:26:19.040 by the way I did very well in school I

01:26:20.700 got really good grades and the fact

01:26:22.380 that I was constantly getting detentions

01:26:25.260 kind of suggests it was a bit

01:26:27.140 excessive yeah I did well in school

01:26:29.340 until I joined a band and then I spent a

01:26:31.080 lot of time partying and my grades went

01:26:32.640 downhill but that's such case that's

01:26:35.060 neither here nor there that's a random

01:26:36.840 name again all of the criminals their

01:26:38.660 lawyers and even their judges sitting

01:26:40.340 with these orcs should have all of

01:26:41.920 their assets seized and given to their

01:26:43.380 victims and then be tried

01:26:44.500 Nuremberg style in Minecraft of course

01:26:47.580 we're only ever talking about Minecraft

01:26:49.080 with these things let's see the video

01:26:51.600 comments it seems as if England and the

01:26:53.720 Commonwealth as a whole are under a

01:26:55.620 terrible malaise made worse by the

01:26:57.680 passing of Queen Elizabeth the second a

01:26:59.820 woman of quiet dignity reserved

01:27:01.600 nobility and unspoken patriotism quite

01:27:04.280 the contrast to gnarly King Charlie a

01:27:06.680 privileged pompous spoiled manager

01:27:09.000 completely on board with allowing his

01:27:11.120 nation to sink uncontested into the

01:27:13.360 mire of history I suspect the Queen

01:27:15.560 would have been roused to put Starma

01:27:17.440 in his place bravo Charles you

01:27:20.100 chuggered git I'd like to be able to

01:27:23.700 say something nice like that about

01:27:25.360 Queen Elizabeth but sadly she oversaw the

01:27:28.160 complete collapse of the Empire the

01:27:29.860 selling off of all of our colonies and

01:27:31.960 the cultural revolution under Margaret

01:27:34.100 Thatcher and then completed by Tony

01:27:35.740 Blair so sadly I can't say that she

01:27:38.160 would have done anything at all she

01:27:40.140 seems like a nice person though and

01:27:41.520 she did work as a mechanic in World

01:27:42.980 War 2 I'm gonna be the sort of good cop

01:27:45.780 bad cop here

01:27:46.660 hence why I've got my red tie on I'm

01:27:50.060 dressed like I'm an extra out of the

01:27:52.100 Helena video by My Chemical Romance

01:27:54.000 so feel free to photoshop me in there

01:27:57.660 I like how you didn't even need to

01:28:09.100 comment we it's just implicit yeah they're

01:28:11.480 not spinning what's going on all the

01:28:15.220 birds are safe oh here we go second up

01:28:17.560 is Carl who goes in C tier when he was

01:28:19.960 simply Sargon we all went down the

01:28:21.560 rabbit hole from Gamergate after a

01:28:23.620 decade he has learned the depth of the

01:28:25.440 globalists that hate us he was king of

01:28:28.060 Kekistan and a veteran of the 2016

01:28:30.220 meme war now he has settled into a new

01:28:33.060 era with Lotus Eaters thanks to

01:28:34.940 donations from Akilah obviously and

01:28:37.300 purveyor of dadism and tradition he

01:28:39.580 still enjoys a bit of video and

01:28:41.160 painting 40k models to relax he just

01:28:44.040 wanted to game that was almost like a

01:28:47.360 nice little condensed bio for it is yeah

01:28:49.840 sweet should write our bios for us I am

01:28:52.300 very curious where the rest of us are

01:28:53.780 going to fall because who is going to be

01:28:56.880 A and S tier obviously I'm D I'm a B I'm a

01:28:59.820 basic bitch yeah Jack is saying I'm I'm

01:29:04.100 the basic based apparently me and Josh

01:29:06.860 D Connor and Stelios S I just hide my

01:29:10.920 power levels very well okay no you don't

01:29:12.960 I don't I don't think either of us do

01:29:16.160 we're not that good are we no no we're

01:29:18.100 not very subtle about these things I'm a

01:29:20.120 straight-talking man all right and I'm

01:29:22.220 northern I can't be so I know you want to

01:29:26.220 make a bit of money get into farming see

01:29:28.860 this I got this selling corn comes out of

01:29:33.040 the fucking ground I couldn't believe it

01:29:35.520 you see that it's made of chicken you kill

01:29:40.980 it you got free chicken you can sell it to

01:29:43.560 people or don't kill it fucking eggs come

01:29:53.220 again you cannot lose I've seen that

01:29:58.980 David Mitchell sketch before it is good

01:30:01.920 although a real farmer wouldn't swear

01:30:03.840 that much no no I quite like Mitchell and

01:30:05.940 Webb look especially the football sketch

01:30:08.820 football never-ending football this

01:30:11.760 Saturday every Saturday for the rest of

01:30:13.920 your life football it did watch like

01:30:16.900 someone who loathed their physical

01:30:19.140 education lessons in school I'm just not

01:30:22.320 that interested in football yeah get on

01:30:25.320 Plymouth our goal that's all I've got to

01:30:26.820 say no my family's owned this ranch for

01:30:29.080 75 years went from my great-grandfather to

01:30:32.520 my grandfather to my father and uncles and

01:30:35.080 now to my brother and my cousins and I but

01:30:38.580 you don't think of it as something that you

01:30:40.320 own it's it's a part of you it's what

01:30:44.080 makes us who we are so I'm standing in

01:30:47.760 in spirit they're protesting with all the

01:30:50.400 farmers today Godspeed to you all

01:30:53.100 I think that the land it becomes a part of

01:30:58.200 you that's part of the reason why I wrote my

01:31:00.400 poem for Islander is trying to highlight that

01:31:02.640 point that you can't be the person you are

01:31:05.320 without your connection to the land and it

01:31:07.360 looks like very beautiful track of land as

01:31:11.500 well yeah and that's one of the reasons they

01:31:14.300 want to destroy it any reminder of people

01:31:16.980 tied to the land who have a connection to

01:31:19.300 it whose ancestry can be traced back they

01:31:21.840 want to eliminate that entirely but may

01:31:24.680 your land remain in your family for

01:31:26.740 generations to come thank you for sharing

01:31:29.220 the sentiments of our farmers as well yes

01:31:31.480 we appreciate farmers in my family as

01:31:33.060 we've got one rumble rant come in that's

01:31:34.840 been for $20 by flat racing guru UK thank

01:31:38.200 you very much Starmer is Leon Trotsky

01:31:40.300 reincarnated dark days ahead stakeholder

01:31:43.480 capitalism using our taxes to build his

01:31:46.440 red army Schwab is Lenin reincarnated very

01:31:49.520 interesting theory that you've got there

01:31:51.080 but thank you very much for sending in

01:31:52.380 the money that was very very generous of

01:31:53.860 you but they are very communistic aren't

01:31:56.300 they and I think we're going to be able

01:31:57.540 to run it overrun a little bit because

01:31:59.780 Conor's Tomlinson talks is only

01:32:02.240 pre-recorded so I don't think we've got the

01:32:03.700 studio to set up Jack is our deity today

01:32:06.360 and he has ordained five minutes

01:32:08.300 only only five are you cheap

01:32:11.360 oh bloody hell well I'm gonna take six

01:32:17.000 all right uh so Arizona Desert Rat says

01:32:20.180 how about this week in utter foolishness

01:32:22.200 and tomfoolery I can see that catching

01:32:25.260 on yeah I like it you want to go through

01:32:27.000 yours sure Samson Harris hang on a

01:32:29.740 minute wait a moment you're meant to be

01:32:31.360 on holiday I thought you said you weren't

01:32:33.120 gonna watch this Josh and Harry why are

01:32:36.160 you not both wearing barber jackets and

01:32:37.860 wellies in solidarity even the traveling

01:32:40.380 rug merchants have been speaking to have

01:32:44.180 much more solidarity with our farmers

01:32:45.940 yes Samson I believe is in Morocco

01:32:47.980 isn't he yeah yeah it should be nice

01:32:49.840 he's gonna come back on a magic carpet I

01:32:51.420 think but um I mean I'm in a nice brown

01:32:54.820 tweed suit what more do you want and I'm

01:32:57.040 dressed like Satan yeah I mean he's

01:32:59.480 dressed as clear starmer exactly

01:33:01.880 mm-hmm Fyodor Pinnock says I would

01:33:04.320 recommend looking up days of the NHS

01:33:06.180 spending Twitter account we're well

01:33:07.640 afraid yeah uh isn't it 25 hours of

01:33:11.120 NHS spending is the inheritance tax on

01:33:13.420 farmers um yeah oh yeah you already say

01:33:16.540 it so let me just see what the annual

01:33:18.820 budget is so 2023 to 23 was 181.7

01:33:25.340 billion pounds and uh 100 it's it's

01:33:29.880 projected to be 192 billion pounds in

01:33:33.400 2025 what a waste of money uh I'll read

01:33:36.600 one more from me and then you will go

01:33:38.080 for the ones on yours Omar Awad says

01:33:40.220 it's an evil um sleight of hand to

01:33:42.360 inflate the value of non-fungible

01:33:43.980 assets and pretend this is equivalent to

01:33:46.120 extracting money from the economy if you

01:33:48.180 buy one farm and a hundred years later

01:33:50.240 it skyrockets in value you have a grand

01:33:52.620 total of one farm that is true yeah

01:33:56.820 okay I'll go into some of mine I can't

01:34:00.780 believe you've called yourself this a

01:34:02.400 naked Harry lathered head to toe in a

01:34:04.740 KFC gravy getting more and more

01:34:07.380 elaborate with the what how did you know

01:34:10.040 I've heard rumors I've heard whispering

01:34:13.220 you've seen you've seen I didn't think

01:34:16.340 you arrived often in war offensives in

01:34:19.460 war offensives are ordered in the last

01:34:21.100 few weeks and even days of the war and

01:34:22.480 or order to better to get a better

01:34:25.700 hand at the negotiating table it could

01:34:28.120 be the Democrats know Trump will end the

01:34:29.960 war so they're trying to get the best

01:34:31.820 position possible for America when

01:34:33.660 negotiating with Putin possibly that's a

01:34:35.960 good point yeah yeah George happen my

01:34:37.980 infinite paranoia I am actually ready to

01:34:40.020 get nuked I'm just imagining him there

01:34:41.840 standing in a field go do it do it get

01:34:44.320 me I have tons of canned food and too

01:34:48.360 much survival gear too much kindred spirits

01:34:51.480 George I've already got my bug out bag

01:34:54.240 and lots of canned food already not that

01:34:56.120 I I mean I always have that so plus

01:34:58.840 according to George he's been playing

01:35:00.300 fallout London in real life for quite

01:35:02.760 some time including mutants and warring

01:35:04.900 factions you live in London do you I'm

01:35:07.060 sorry oh dear north FC zoomer speaking of

01:35:10.440 being nuked you should do a lotus eaters go

01:35:12.560 camping weekend to show us some of those

01:35:14.440 survival skills Josh I've suggested things

01:35:16.440 like this I want to do a lotus eaters go to

01:35:18.480 the gym video which I think would be fun

01:35:21.300 where we all just lift and see who can

01:35:22.900 outlift one another Rory will probably be

01:35:24.580 best at that the problem with the survival

01:35:26.700 skills thing is that a lot of the land that

01:35:29.120 you're allowed to go wild camping on you're

01:35:30.640 not actually allowed to do any damage to

01:35:33.560 the land and I sort of agree with this in

01:35:37.060 spirit it's just a shame we don't have

01:35:38.420 more land so it wouldn't matter like in

01:35:40.480 Canada you know you can cut down certain

01:35:42.360 trees and make fires and things like that

01:35:44.100 but we can't really do that because

01:35:46.220 there's so little land in common that if

01:35:48.140 everyone who went camping did that it

01:35:50.440 would spoil the land and so that's the

01:35:52.800 limitation there unfortunately but if I

01:35:55.520 were to go to Canada for example hint

01:35:58.220 hint nudge nudge Carl I could do this

01:36:00.820 interesting stay tuned for anything in

01:36:03.680 the future

01:36:04.120 Carmarthen Chris says this all makes

01:36:05.860 sense why Starmer jumping into for

01:36:07.580 protection if the Southport killer of the

01:36:10.800 Southport killer while no empathy for the

01:36:12.540 victims the guy has no soul completely

01:36:14.600 agree remember that if Keir Starmer

01:36:17.060 wasn't Prime Minister if he was still a

01:36:19.120 human rights lawyer he would probably be

01:36:20.660 arguing on behalf of the killer right now

01:36:22.800 for his human rights by the way that

01:36:25.480 name can I read it out Carl's underground

01:36:28.620 cache of irradiated pray bentos why are

01:36:32.920 they irradiated because the nuclear

01:36:35.280 bombs I appreciate that name Kevin Fox

01:36:40.600 to be honest having been there in the

01:36:42.100 mid-80s what Keir Starmer is doing is

01:36:44.060 worse than communist East Germany at

01:36:46.160 least the East German government made

01:36:47.500 all businesses government controlled

01:36:49.480 rather than just taxing them out of

01:36:51.020 business like Stalin and Krizog sorry

01:36:53.700 Reeves yeah the interesting thing there is

01:36:56.300 at least the actual communist governments

01:36:58.320 were a bit more honest about it whereas

01:37:00.120 this is absolutely disgusting perception

01:37:02.860 management from Carl's underground cache

01:37:05.480 of irradiated pray bentos says whoa I'm

01:37:09.020 Osama's top guy what am I gonna do Osama

01:37:12.720 needs me to lower his sentence okay all

01:37:15.600 right I'll do it for you Osama I got

01:37:18.900 your back Osama that's a good impression

01:37:22.220 so you can clip that Derek power so he

01:37:26.840 thinks about how to help terrorists yet

01:37:28.860 can't imagine tomorrow's breakfast pretty

01:37:30.980 much and I think if you followed him

01:37:32.780 around with a chirping fire alarm he

01:37:35.480 wouldn't know the difference and a guy

01:37:37.980 from Hungary Starmer is an example of

01:37:39.660 all leftists morally inverted yes

01:37:41.840 Connor's tight you're all having a little

01:37:45.100 bit too much fun with this many of the

01:37:47.540 unknowns who arrive at our shores must

01:37:49.500 be criminals on the run from the death

01:37:50.860 penalty in their own country through

01:37:52.380 probably many of them are provably and I

01:37:55.300 do wonder those were all of the cases

01:37:57.440 that the times were able to highlight I

01:37:59.560 wonder what other cases Keir Starmer

01:38:01.340 has been involved in in the past to keep

01:38:03.160 convicted criminals or terrorists or

01:38:06.480 people from other war zones from the

01:38:09.460 90s and 2000s in our country I wonder

01:38:12.440 what else he's been involved in because

01:38:14.200 as far as I can tell his entire case

01:38:16.100 history before he was DPP is entirely

01:38:18.520 negative and only served to keep

01:38:21.000 criminals in this country who

01:38:22.780 shouldn't have been here in the first
