The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of The Lotus Eaters, episode 1058 for the 6th of December

00:00:13.340 2024. I'm your host Connor, joined by Carl and Stelios.

00:00:16.320 Hello everyone.

00:00:17.000 Today we're going to be discussing the dire demographic revelations by the ONS, Ireland's

00:00:20.800 disastrous elections, and the cancellation of Greg Wallace. Now you might be wondering,

00:00:25.400 it's a Friday, what's Connor doing here? That's because I'm hosting Lads Hour this

00:00:28.320 week, and at 3 o'clock we're going to be discussing Pirates of the Caribbean. I've been teasing

00:00:31.900 this one for a while. One of, if not my favourite movie trilogy of all time, and we've got some

00:00:36.780 esoteric takes on it, so it's going to be a lot of fun. So, it's great.

00:00:41.700 And don't go wrong, I like Pirates of the Caribbean as much as anyone else, but...

00:00:44.720 I don't think you'd like it as much as me.

00:00:45.980 No, probably not.

00:00:47.640 So, we're going to be doing that at 3 o'clock. If you're not a subscriber to the website,

00:00:50.760 you won't be able to watch it, so you've still got time to subscribe to watch live, and then

00:00:54.280 we'll be reading your comments after we give our very contentious takes. And that will be

00:00:58.340 with Josh, Harry, Rory, and Luca when he gets here. So, without further ado, we'll get into

00:01:04.600 today's news. So, the ONS has revealed the most popular baby names in England and Wales

00:01:10.860 in the last year. It's Mohammed. Right. 0.97

00:01:16.220 Is it not Alistair?

00:01:18.440 No, it's not Noah.

00:01:20.200 It's not John.

00:01:21.580 It's not Arthur. Luca, Theodore, Oscar, Henry. Axel fell out of the top 100 this year, for

00:01:28.000 obvious reasons.

00:01:30.420 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I bet it is.

00:01:32.000 Yeah. But Mohammed has risen up to the number one for obvious reasons. Now, people were pointing 0.93

00:01:36.820 out, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a minute. The only reason Mohammed is the most popular 1.00

00:01:41.080 baby name, actually, is because the English have so many other names. Yeah, I don't want

00:01:47.500 anyone in the country who is inclined to name their child after the Prophet Mohammed, given

00:01:52.400 what he did. So, the problem is that any of them are here in the first place. And Bodhi

00:01:58.280 also entered the top 100. Classic British name.

00:02:00.980 Bodhi.

00:02:01.620 Yeah. Very odd. I mean, the ONS have put up some graphics here that really illustrate the

00:02:07.320 situation. Raya and Margot have moved up, because people name their children rapidly

00:02:13.020 after pop culture references.

00:02:15.660 And Margot Robbie.

00:02:16.840 Yeah, that's exactly why. So, just to get this, I tweeted this out and just reminded everyone

00:02:23.260 that if you're concerned about cultural change, which a nation full of Mohammeds denotes, because 1.00

00:02:28.780 I don't think all these Mohammeds are abiding by British values, excuse me for my scepticism, 1.00

00:02:32.980 if you're concerned about that cultural change, then you can't afford to ignore demographic

00:02:36.440 change. And the ONS lays out this demographic change in pretty stark reality in some of

00:02:42.440 its graphs and the like in here. There's figure four in here for a map of these names, so we

00:02:47.500 can see exactly who and where in the country are naming this. And what I found quite interesting,

00:02:54.200 as you can see, so this is the one for girls, this is the one for boys. So if you zoom in,

00:02:59.600 it's Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford, Buckinghamshire, not London. Not London. Well, you know what's

00:03:09.940 interesting is that London is not actually the most concentrated place where Muslims in

00:03:14.200 this country live.

00:03:14.800 No. London is a kind of, I don't know how to describe it, it's kind of the vast cosmopolitan

00:03:22.800 mix of all the globalist client groups. They all move back and forth through London, whereas

00:03:30.100 we have colonies in these other areas from particular countries in the subcontinent.

00:03:35.060 Can you go to Leeds Bradford? Bradford would be around Birmingham, wouldn't it? No, it's

00:03:41.580 a bit to the right. Close to Leeds. At least the one I have in mind. Where is it? I am

00:03:46.820 bad with maps. Let me do it. Go for it. Leeds, right there. Leeds is up. Nottingham, shock.

00:03:56.060 Sheffield. Sheffield, shock. Rotherham. Wakefield. It says Leeds. So Noah. Oh, I saw

00:04:05.040 Otto English, the most throbbing brain of British historians. Yes, unsurprisingly,

00:04:10.180 Mohammed is the most popular name in Bradford. So Otto English pointed out, aha, but did you

00:04:14.000 know that Noah is also a Muslim prophet? So checkmate, bigots. It's like, number one,

00:04:22.040 Noah is not a prevalent name throughout the Muslim world. But also, if you're saying that

00:04:25.860 the Muslims also calling their kids Noah, well then that doesn't change the problem at all. 0.85

00:04:29.440 No, the problem's actually way worse. Yeah. Because Noah's number two. So there you go. The three

00:04:34.900 most popular names for baby girls in England and Wales were Olivia, Amelia, and Isla.

00:04:40.220 What? Why do you think that is? Why are Muslims not having more baby girls?

00:04:47.780 Well, I think that actually the issue is probably going to be about the concentration of the name

00:04:52.540 Mohammed. Yes.

00:04:54.240 Every other Muslim is called Mohammed. Yes, sure. Why is there not a high concentration 1.00

00:04:58.900 of baby girl names? Well, I don't think Muslims just kill all the baby girls or anything.

00:05:03.400 I remember in Lewisham they had to stop telling the sex at birth because of all the sex-selective

00:05:10.380 abortions, which Keir Starmer actually argued in favour of when he was a human rights lawyer.

00:05:15.140 I think they've got a multiplicity of girl names. I might be wrong.

00:05:20.240 Yeah, that's possible. What's interesting as well, sadly, is that this is highly concentrated

00:05:24.420 in England because Mohammed is only the 63rd most popular baby name in Wales.

00:05:29.040 Yeah, but that's been the case for immigration generally. I mean, this is just basically a map

00:05:32.360 of immigration, as every map is just a map of immigration. No, honestly, there is the map.

00:05:38.720 It's the demographic map, and that's all I love being. But the immigration into Britain has just 0.96

00:05:44.260 mostly been into England by a factor of like 10 to 1. It's been crazy.

00:05:48.620 Now, this movement of Mohammed rocketing to the top space is not really much of a shock because it 1.00

00:05:53.740 was the second most popular name in 2022. And it's been on the list of the most popular names

00:05:58.640 since 2016. It's been in the top 10. And why could this possibly be? Well, it might have

00:06:03.820 something to do with the relative fertility rates because this was late October. As I mentioned

00:06:08.560 on my show, which you should be watching behind the paywall, self-promotion, the average total

00:06:12.960 fertility rate is now the lowest in England and Wales since records began in 1938. So the total

00:06:18.920 fertility rate in England and Wales is 1.44 children per woman in 2023. Bear in mind, the replacement 1.00

00:06:24.700 level is 2.1 because you want a child per parent and then 0.1 is just in case, sadly, people

00:06:31.920 die off. Turns out the total fertility rate hides two stats. The first is that total fertility

00:06:38.260 rate is the average number of children per woman. Now, childlessness is what's driving 1.00

00:06:43.080 this because the majority of women now in the UK have reached 30 without having any children

00:06:47.200 at all, despite the majority of them reporting wanting children. So that's a great personal

00:06:50.640 tragedy. The problem is people aren't having fewer children per family. It's lots of people

00:06:55.020 having no children and some people are having lots of children. And who are the some people?

00:06:59.980 Well, the breakdown isn't in here, but the breakdown does come later.

00:07:05.360 Connor, I want to ask you something because I think that this is a pattern across Europe.

00:07:10.740 When we see the very low, below-replacement birth rates, it isn't just native birth rates.

00:07:18.480 It's just birth rates within that country.

00:07:21.580 Yeah.

00:07:23.440 Different demographics have more children than the native population.

00:07:26.560 Yeah. So for instance, let's say if we are to take the English population, is it going

00:07:30.980 to be less than 1.44?

00:07:32.980 Yes.

00:07:33.660 Okay.

00:07:34.220 Yes, absolutely.

00:07:35.700 Figures for 2022 showed the average fertility rate had declined to 1.49. So it's steadily falling

00:07:41.860 and to then 1.55 in 2021. That's despite mass immigration from countries with higher birth

00:07:49.300 rates. So that means the native population is falling faster than the imported populations

00:07:54.220 with higher birth rates. So that's what the number is concealing.

00:07:56.640 I looked into this a few years ago. And the thing is, after something like two or three

00:08:00.580 generations, the imported population, their birth rate declines as well. And so essentially

00:08:05.040 the West is becoming a black hole for lineages.

00:08:07.180 Yes. It's becoming a mouse utopia where pretty much everyone is staying inside, becoming a

00:08:11.340 beautiful one and grooming themselves and gooning without actually reproducing.

00:08:14.640 So, you know, grandmothers in India, just think about that. If you move to Britain, you're

00:08:19.280 not going to get great grandchildren.

00:08:21.540 I haven't met the Republican congressman yet. From the ads. It's okay.

00:08:26.980 I don't get this reference.

00:08:28.240 You know, the ads.

00:08:30.860 Oh, the one that materialized.

00:08:32.560 Yeah, yeah.

00:08:32.900 He manifests.

00:08:34.280 I don't know where.

00:08:34.740 Yeah, he's my favourite character. Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

00:08:37.140 I'm in favour of him.

00:08:38.040 Yes, quite. You asked for a demographic breakdown, Stelios.

00:08:41.160 Yeah.

00:08:41.660 Here's something pretty shocking. Now, this is from Daily Mail reporting and the Daily Skeptic.

00:08:46.260 In 2021, 74% of live births were to white British mothers. In 2023, it was 56%.

00:08:54.420 That's an...

00:08:55.740 Boris's bloody...

00:08:56.980 Boris wave.

00:08:57.720 Yeah.

00:08:57.940 An 18% drop-off in live births to British mothers within two years.

00:09:03.500 Thanks, Boris.

00:09:05.220 I wonder where this nation of Mohammeds came from. Can't possibly work it out. 1.00

00:09:11.220 Wow. We did have quarter of a million Indians in every bloody year. 1.00

00:09:14.880 Yeah, that explains why Bodhi's just sort of rocketed up the chart. So now, we've got another

00:09:21.180 breakdown. Almost one in three babies in England and Wales were born to women from outside the

00:09:25.300 UK. Now, that isn't counting as well women who are second-generation immigrants. 1.00

00:09:32.160 Yeah, of course.

00:09:32.840 So the number's even larger.

00:09:35.020 So this is according to the ONS.

00:09:36.340 The proportion was also an increase from 26.5%

00:09:48.340 a decade earlier after passing the quarter mark, 25.1% in 2010. More than one-third, 37.3%

00:09:55.900 of live births last year, were to parents where either one or both were born outside

00:10:00.240 the UK. India remained the most common country for birth for non-UK-born mothers, 3.6% of

00:10:06.180 all live births and 3.9% of fathers. With Pakistan remaining second. There is a league

00:10:09.980 table here as well that I was going down to.

00:10:12.560 There's one thing I like to see as league tables.

00:10:14.360 Yeah, so we've got India at the top, then Pakistan, then Romania, then Nigeria, then Poland,

00:10:19.520 then Bangladesh, Albania, Afghanistan, Ghana, and the USA.

00:10:24.220 Brilliant.

00:10:24.960 Yeah, that's great. We've become a full-on nation of Indians under Rishi Sunak. Wonder why.

00:10:31.860 Ghana entered the top 10 most common countries for non-UK-born mothers the first time in 2023

00:10:36.300 in ninth place with 0.6% of live births. That pushed out Germany.

00:10:40.460 Germans aren't having kids now.

00:10:41.760 Why are these people here?

00:10:43.260 Yeah. Greg Seeley, who's the head of population health monitoring at the ONS, a very sensible

00:10:48.540 and impartial man in a neutral institution, said the data doesn't give you an accurate

00:10:52.880 picture of a family's ethnicity or migration history.

00:10:56.120 So what he's saying is way worse than what we're showing you.

00:10:58.320 Yeah, he says almost a third of babies born in 2023 in England and Wales were born to non-UK

00:11:03.300 women, a slight increase on the percentage in 2022. This is a continuation of the long-term 0.80

00:11:08.560 trend of the percentage of live births to non-UK-born mothers generally increasing.

00:11:12.460 As Kiyosama said, this isn't an accident. It's by design and it's a deliberate plan.

00:11:17.160 An experiment.

00:11:18.020 Yeah. I'm just going off what the Prime Minister says. Don't call me a conspiracy theorist.

00:11:21.260 And he says, while our birth data shows us the parents' country of birth, it doesn't

00:11:25.300 give us a picture of the family's ethnicity or migration history. And it's worth noting

00:11:29.160 that not all women born outside the UK will be recent immigrants.

00:11:33.400 Oh, that's all right then. My country of Mohammeds is just as British as you and me.

00:11:37.020 I hate this hat. This entire line. Well, I mean, Alistair Campbell on Question Time yesterday,

00:11:41.800 right? He was like, look, we shouldn't be judging them by our standards of what we consider British.

00:11:46.300 And it's like, what do you mean, what we consider British? Every single one of these migrants, 1.00

00:11:52.900 Alistair, is not British by definition because they are immigrants. They couldn't be immigrants 1.00

00:11:58.800 if they were British. It's just, it's so crazy. 1.00

00:12:01.620 But here's the Motten-Bailey argument as well. Harrison Pitt, my co-host and deprogrammed occasional

00:12:06.020 locality, mentioned this to me yesterday. You know that, let's say, certain Welsh choir boys,

00:12:11.680 when they argue that because they're born in Wales, they are Welsh, are not Welsh because

00:12:16.800 Wales themselves will tell you they're Welsh because they feel the need to accommodate in

00:12:21.420 the history curriculum retroactive black Britons being in there to represent them. So they're 1.00

00:12:26.340 making the admission that they are set apart from the Welsh native population, otherwise they

00:12:31.140 wouldn't feel the need to revise history to represent them. So which is it? Are they as Welsh 0.99

00:12:34.520 as you and me because they're born in Wales or England? Or is it they're a separate ethnicity

00:12:37.680 who requires representation to make them to feel like they belong? Yeah. The purpose of

00:12:43.280 a system is what it does. Infinity migrants is the result, therefore infinity migrants is 0.97

00:12:47.440 the point. The exact same thing is actually happening in Europe, Selyos, which you've mentioned.

00:12:51.640 New data from the EU reveals that EU births have plunged to an all-time low. Just 3.6 million,

00:13:00.300 6-7 million babies were born across the 27 nations in 2023. That's down 5.5%.

00:13:07.640 on 2022, which is the biggest percentage drop since records began. So we are, as you said,

00:13:12.940 becoming just a demographic black hole. And there are several reasons for it. I won't 0.83

00:13:17.200 take much time over your segment, but for instance, I'll just say about Greece. Greece is a very family

00:13:21.540 oriented society. We have close to 1.3 fertility rate. It isn't because people don't want to have 0.93

00:13:28.080 family, although they do tend to postpone it a bit. It's mostly economic, but obviously it

00:13:34.140 differs according to the country. Well, the funny thing is as well, it's not just economic,

00:13:39.940 because as Paul Morland, the very good demographer who's been on my show, has pointed out,

00:13:42.960 the areas that have very low income housing relative to your earnings, they're seeing similar

00:13:49.640 falls in fertility. So it just seems like a complete crisis of faith in ourselves. And it's almost like

00:13:54.680 the moment that you have to rationally plan a child in accordance with your economic or lifestyle

00:14:00.420 goals. It becomes difficult to justify making those sacrifices if you've spent your entire life

00:14:05.200 defining yourself as like a working, self-defining individual before it just sort of happened to

00:14:10.060 people. I mean, about a third of the births in 19th century America were shotgun weddings.

00:14:16.100 So what happened in about 1965?

00:14:21.380 The birth control pill.

00:14:22.640 That's correct.

00:14:23.660 But if you look, the 1960s in the middle of the graph, that's also the oil shock. And that

00:14:28.940 happened in Italy, Germany and Japan all around the same time. And the graph just plummets off a cliff.

00:14:33.460 Yeah. But in the 80s and moving onwards, birth control becomes very widely available.

00:14:38.460 Yeah.

00:14:38.900 And the birth rate craters.

00:14:40.240 In South Korea and Japan, though, birth control is not widely taken. So there are also other factors

00:14:46.320 into this, but birth control does matter here.

00:14:49.220 That's gender relations are a problem. 1.00

00:14:51.700 Right. The other interesting question would be, why did it rise from 2000 to, let's say, 2008?

00:14:59.360 Eight.

00:15:00.920 No idea. But at the moment, the Greek total live births is half of what they were 50 years ago.

00:15:08.760 It's catastrophic. Whereabouts is Hungary as well? Because Hungary is doing a lot better. Only a 2.2% fall.

00:15:16.060 I mean, that is better. But look at that, though.

00:15:18.280 Yes.

00:15:18.760 Even then, just, like, we can't seriously be looking at this and going, yes, Europe has a future. No, we're screwed.

00:15:25.600 Well, it does have a future. It's just sourced in sub-Saharan Africa.

00:15:29.080 Even then, like, they're going to have to get a lot of Africans. 1.00

00:15:34.120 Yeah, that's the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plan.

00:15:36.620 The study they published in The Lancet said by 2100, there's only going to be six countries on Earth,

00:15:40.860 I think two in Asia and four in sub-Saharan Africa that have positive birth rates.

00:15:44.700 So we'll just get our entire population from there.

00:15:48.000 Was there a very sensible conclusion?

00:15:49.720 I mean, we've gone from roughly, like, 900,000 to 750,000.

00:15:56.260 I mean, that's bad, but it's not that bad. It's not Greece levels.

00:15:59.980 Yeah, but it craters around the early 2000s and then suddenly starts spiking up.

00:16:03.440 What happened around the late 90s, early 2000s that could have caused this rebound?

00:16:08.800 Great point.

00:16:09.240 I wonder. We're also, the UK is the fastest falling one in the G7.

00:16:12.840 Oh, great.

00:16:13.160 So we're falling faster than Japan.

00:16:15.300 Poland? Oh, no. Poland's being liberalised.

00:16:17.960 Yes.

00:16:18.440 Oh, no. Bad luck, Poland. You've got the European futures ahead of you. 1.00

00:16:26.860 Sorry for the depressing segment, ladies and gents, but we do actually...

00:16:29.820 That's crazy.

00:16:30.760 Only five countries actually saw...

00:16:31.780 We want people to get it on, and they don't.

00:16:34.180 Only five countries saw a total rise in...

00:16:35.520 I've got loads of kids. Trust me, it's good.

00:16:36.760 I'm going to start.

00:16:39.280 Only five nations saw a total rise in birth, so that's Malta, that's about 3.6%,

00:16:43.060 Portugal, 2.4%, Bulgaria, 1.1%, Cyprus, 1%, and Ireland, 0.5%.

00:16:48.400 Portugal playing the long game there.

00:16:49.960 Like, we're getting that empire back.

00:16:51.640 When your demographics all collapse, Portugal's time to shine. 1.00

00:16:54.620 The Irish famous for large families, only 0.5%.

00:16:58.760 And again, that might be something to do with...

00:17:01.080 The new Irish. 0.98

00:17:01.900 Speaking of which, how come, as Stelios has said, to do with housing and economics,

00:17:07.680 how come these people can afford to have kids? 1.00

00:17:09.900 Because I keep hearing that they're...

00:17:11.100 Oh, they're substands by the government, that's why.

00:17:13.200 Funny that.

00:17:13.760 Yeah.

00:17:14.260 Rupert Lowe, who again is doing the Lord's work.

00:17:16.240 We are the Rupert Lowe fan club over at the Lotus Eaters, good man.

00:17:19.480 Since 2007, 2008, because he put in a question in Parliament,

00:17:23.660 he's using his daily allowance, to find out social housing by nationality.

00:17:27.000 Since 2007 to 2008, 440,788 non-UK lead tenants accessed new social housing lettings.

00:17:35.380 That's just crazy.

00:17:36.540 How is it that half a million foreigners can get social housing paid for by me?

00:17:40.980 Yeah.

00:17:41.820 And someone has actually replied to him with the graphic from Neil O'Brien and Robert Jenrick's report,

00:17:47.440 taking back control, this is from page 57.

00:17:49.940 72% of Somalians are just here at your expense. 1.00

00:17:53.760 50% of other Africans, 40% of Jamaicans.

00:17:58.580 Why are there 30% of Turks in this country? 1.00

00:18:02.940 Like, Turkey's not like some sort of third world country.

00:18:05.560 Get a job.

00:18:07.720 I think Stelios might disagree with you there.

00:18:10.120 No comment.

00:18:11.820 And the UK is around the middle of the pack.

00:18:14.140 Notice that the Japanese don't even register. 0.99

00:18:15.760 Yeah.

00:18:16.240 There's not a single Japanese person.

00:18:17.940 Shockingly, the French and the Italians have a remarkably good work ethic. 1.00

00:18:21.580 We've got, like, the neo-Hugonos.

00:18:25.100 They are, in fact, sending the best.

00:18:26.420 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:27.000 We are actually getting the best of them.

00:18:29.160 Well, it's because they're fleeing their own land, being absolutely deracinated by mass immigration. 0.87

00:18:32.580 But there you go.

00:18:33.340 I just never, like, the Germans being twice as lazy as the French on this one. 0.89

00:18:37.040 What is going on?

00:18:38.300 But what Germans? 0.52

00:18:39.260 Well, probably German Germans, to be honest. 0.93

00:18:42.380 Well, maybe.

00:18:42.920 I don't know, yeah.

00:18:43.520 With German passports.

00:18:44.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:45.560 Probably paper citizens. 0.96

00:18:46.980 I don't see some people there.

00:18:49.540 Which ones?

00:18:50.240 No, it's okay.

00:18:51.740 No.

00:18:51.840 Well, is the Greeks there? 0.99

00:18:54.060 I just don't see us.

00:18:55.040 I don't see them.

00:18:55.720 No, that's impressive.

00:18:58.160 I'm not paying your benefits, Stelios. 1.00

00:18:59.560 I get the feeling there just aren't that many Greeks, to be honest.

00:19:03.300 In England, I mean.

00:19:04.260 I think we're half a million.

00:19:06.300 Really?

00:19:06.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:07.320 God.

00:19:08.080 Blimey.

00:19:08.760 All right, then.

00:19:09.340 Fair enough.

00:19:10.180 Rupert Lowe got some more stats as well after this.

00:19:12.460 The social housing stats are out.

00:19:13.940 In 2023 to 2024, there were 33,075 non-UK-born lead tenants accessing new social housing lettings.

00:19:22.140 That also doesn't mean second generation, by the way, because we don't have the data on that yet.

00:19:25.560 The year before, it was 26,222.

00:19:28.260 Before that, it was 25,969.

00:19:32.200 Why do we allow this?

00:19:34.240 That's gone up by 7,000 in a single year.

00:19:37.920 It's just insufferable.

00:19:39.060 Why?

00:19:39.620 You know what?

00:19:40.240 I just feel like getting a free house over in Spain.

00:19:43.180 You know, I've just decided.

00:19:44.440 I just want the Spanish government to give me a house in Spain.

00:19:46.740 Well, it will benefit their economy because they factor in state spending as a percentage of GDP.

00:19:51.280 Well, there we go.

00:19:51.900 So the money they spend on foreign nationals. 0.93

00:19:54.420 Imagine how good the books are going to look.

00:19:56.080 The line is, in fact, going up.

00:19:57.480 I'll have my Spanish villa now, thank you.

00:19:59.320 Paid for by the Spanish people. 0.72

00:20:00.700 No, you're not poorer.

00:20:01.380 All right, here's the spreadsheet.

00:20:02.500 Don't you understand?

00:20:03.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:03.760 Trust the spreadsheet, bro.

00:20:05.420 Yeah, and another reform MP who's actually doing some good stuff as well is James McMurdoch.

00:20:10.200 He just decided to share this map, created by Neil O'Brien, by the way.

00:20:15.060 Social renting households were head of household was born outside the UK.

00:20:18.820 Look at London.

00:20:19.780 Yeah.

00:20:19.920 Well, it's half of all London social housing goes to foreigners.

00:20:24.120 Yeah.

00:20:25.100 It's just insane.

00:20:25.920 It's just insane.

00:20:27.080 This is totally unsustainable.

00:20:28.740 We can't be paying for the world to come and live with us.

00:20:31.180 This is mad.

00:20:32.340 James is exactly right.

00:20:33.100 Do you think this represents good governance?

00:20:35.600 No.

00:20:35.960 Ah, but have you not seen that Sunder Katwala, former head of Fabian Society, by the way.

00:20:41.200 Great squirrel of Britain.

00:20:42.360 Yeah, untrustworthy socialist.

00:20:44.340 You must control for citizenship here, James. 0.84

00:20:46.120 Otherwise, you're suggesting two-tier citizenship by birth or ethnicity and treating those who 0.67

00:20:50.560 arrived in 1948, 1968, 1999, and those who become citizens after six years of new arrivals

00:20:55.120 makes a dramatic difference to the percentage if you do that.

00:20:58.360 Yeah.

00:20:59.180 Yeah, I am actually.

00:20:59.780 I am actually treating that as two-tier citizenship.

00:21:02.080 I'm sorry, but your piece of paper means nothing to me, Sunder.

00:21:06.200 Anyway, after all this frustration, I will...

00:21:09.480 Especially as...

00:21:11.320 I love this as a get-out as well.

00:21:12.620 It's like, right, the government is literally going to rubber-stamp citizenship as quickly

00:21:16.700 as they can for millions and millions of people.

00:21:19.220 Like, in the last five years, it was six million people.

00:21:21.180 Last year, it was one every 30 seconds.

00:21:22.440 Yeah, it's just like, oh, yeah, but you've got control for that.

00:21:24.540 No, I don't.

00:21:26.800 Okay, I really don't.

00:21:28.560 These people are foreign-born people that our traitorous government has just... 1.00

00:21:32.060 It's just allowed.

00:21:32.780 Let's just literally say, no, we'll give you everything that the country has to offer

00:21:35.760 and we're going to pay for the privilege.

00:21:37.940 I'm not going to get hang on that.

00:21:38.900 So, you'd think that if we're battery-farming Mohammeds at my expense, 1.00

00:21:43.900 that's not in exaggerations, literally government policies.

00:21:47.020 Yeah, quite.

00:21:47.540 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:48.060 You'd think they might be...

00:21:48.740 Except we're getting nothing out of it.

00:21:50.020 At least in the Matrix, they've got energy.

00:21:51.580 How are we?

00:21:52.100 Yeah.

00:21:52.780 What are we getting from it?

00:21:54.040 Perhaps they might be grateful.

00:21:55.440 Are they grateful for it?

00:21:56.520 Are they?

00:21:57.020 Well, just to wind you up a little bit,

00:21:59.120 the Spectator have done a review of a brand new play.

00:22:02.300 Oh, yeah.

00:22:02.540 This play is at the Royal Court,

00:22:05.140 so pretty prestigious.

00:22:06.420 It's titled Expendable.

00:22:09.220 Muslim playwright thinks Yorkshire is headed for civil war.

00:22:12.400 Read Race War. 0.90

00:22:14.000 I'll read you the synopsis.

00:22:16.100 Yorkshire's headed for civil war.

00:22:17.120 People are like, what?

00:22:18.060 People in Yorkshire are like, what the hell's going on?

00:22:19.680 Everyone's like, why would Yorkshire be headed for civil war?

00:22:21.600 Oh, no.

00:22:22.260 Right, you want a civil war again. 0.81

00:22:23.760 It's not quite the War of the Roses.

00:22:26.260 So the setting is a kitchen in Yorkshire

00:22:28.520 where Zara, good British name,

00:22:30.280 is trying to keep her family together after her son, Raheel,

00:22:32.960 was outed as a rape suspect by a national newspaper.

00:22:35.700 White thugs dump parcels of excrement on their porch

00:22:38.160 and Zara cowers under the kitchen table, 0.90

00:22:40.020 too scared to answer the door.

00:22:41.400 The racists have mounted a mass demonstration,

00:22:43.480 supported by the police.

00:22:45.060 Oh, yeah.

00:22:46.580 I love when you can just write fan fiction

00:22:48.240 and get it written up in a national newspaper,

00:22:49.760 which causes local bus services to be cancelled.

00:22:52.720 Every Muslim in town is terrified of a white vigilante gang

00:22:55.320 who recently targeted a blameless Yemeni prisoner

00:22:57.580 and kicked him to death.

00:22:58.580 It gets worse.

00:22:59.480 Zara and her daughter, Sophia,

00:23:01.020 join a peaceful counter-demonstration,

00:23:02.820 but the heavy-handed cops arrest ten innocent Muslims

00:23:05.500 and charge them a violent disorder.

00:23:07.120 Meanwhile, the white thugs are free to scrawl 0.59

00:23:08.780 Rape Capital of the UK 0.99

00:23:10.500 must be in Rotherham

00:23:11.800 across the side of the local mosque.

00:23:13.820 They then burn it to the ground.

00:23:15.040 The useless cops arrest three of the white rioters

00:23:17.020 as a token gesture.

00:23:18.180 Sophia tells her mum

00:23:19.140 she isn't going to apply to university

00:23:20.680 because academia is full of right-wing extremists.

00:23:23.380 What?

00:23:26.000 I'll just let that sit for a moment.

00:23:28.960 What bizarro world is she trying to construct? 1.00

00:23:32.800 There's a quote here from the play.

00:23:34.140 A black man was stopped and searched

00:23:35.560 on his way to uni

00:23:36.280 and he was a lecturer.

00:23:37.820 Oh, yeah.

00:23:38.240 And what?

00:23:38.720 Prime Minister Tommy Robinson intervened me.

00:23:41.360 Like, what?

00:23:43.920 Yasmin discovers that Zara befriended

00:23:45.780 a notorious child abuser

00:23:47.240 named Sajid.

00:23:48.940 Why?

00:23:49.480 Weird how there are so many of them.

00:23:51.900 Why did she want to, like,

00:23:53.880 befriend...

00:23:54.400 This is Tim Wall's strategy.

00:23:58.000 She apparently... 1.00

00:23:58.540 I don't know if my friends are child abusers.

00:23:59.840 What's your problem?

00:24:00.480 She apparently paid him

00:24:01.460 to refit her kitchen

00:24:02.300 where he raped young girls

00:24:03.440 and some Muslims too.

00:24:04.580 What?

00:24:05.740 What am I hearing?

00:24:07.020 So, um,

00:24:08.000 you might be asking this question

00:24:09.000 that the same reviewer

00:24:09.960 from The Spectator,

00:24:10.740 Lloyd Evans,

00:24:11.360 says,

00:24:11.980 it's impossible to make sense

00:24:13.200 of this rambling balmy plot,

00:24:14.580 but there's a fascinating message here

00:24:16.980 and read this in light

00:24:19.100 of the increase in Mohammeds 1.00

00:24:21.040 and the fact we're paying

00:24:21.760 their social housing, right?

00:24:23.300 Some Muslims believe

00:24:24.540 that the media,

00:24:25.480 police and justice system

00:24:26.740 are conspiring

00:24:27.400 to make their lives hell.

00:24:29.280 According to the playwright,

00:24:30.320 this Yorkshire town

00:24:30.980 is headed for a civil war

00:24:32.040 between the Gora,

00:24:33.000 white,

00:24:33.560 community,

00:24:34.360 and the Muslims.

00:24:34.860 This vision of a Britain 0.58

00:24:36.440 where law-abiding Muslims 0.93

00:24:37.420 are hunted in the streets

00:24:38.300 while English vigilantes

00:24:39.200 commit arson and murder

00:24:40.100 with impunity

00:24:40.640 may not reflect the facts

00:24:41.980 on the ground,

00:24:43.180 but this is how a Muslim dramatist

00:24:44.500 sees our society

00:24:45.220 and she deserves attention. 0.55

00:24:46.600 Insane paranoia.

00:24:48.100 Yes.

00:24:48.640 The problem is, though,

00:24:49.720 the Home Office's

00:24:50.500 Raikou department

00:24:51.240 literally puts out reports

00:24:52.440 that says the grooming gangs 0.62

00:24:53.440 and two-tier policing

00:24:54.240 are a right-wing conspiracy theory.

00:24:58.360 So, this is the message

00:25:00.980 being put out by the media.

00:25:02.060 The government is doing

00:25:03.320 the complete opposite.

00:25:04.100 While also conducting

00:25:05.660 an experimental

00:25:06.640 open-border strategy

00:25:07.960 of importing

00:25:09.340 and battery farming Mohammeds.

00:25:10.900 And these are the stories

00:25:11.680 that the Mohammeds 1.00

00:25:12.620 are telling themselves.

00:25:13.480 Yes.

00:25:13.720 It justifies anything

00:25:14.780 that they do in the future.

00:25:15.780 Great.

00:25:16.540 So, I'm sure there'll be

00:25:18.740 one round to British values

00:25:19.840 eventually.

00:25:20.680 Soup chat is really good.

00:25:21.980 It's funny how,

00:25:22.860 even in their own fan fiction,

00:25:24.300 the groomers have names

00:25:25.100 like Sajid.

00:25:27.060 Hey, I just read

00:25:27.940 Home Office reports.

00:25:29.800 It's just...

00:25:31.440 Also, funny.

00:25:32.420 In the chat,

00:25:33.760 someone said that

00:25:34.500 they are nominating me

00:25:35.620 for a luxury apartment

00:25:37.240 in Hull.

00:25:38.480 Oh, I don't know

00:25:39.020 why you don't.

00:25:40.200 Like, you know,

00:25:40.740 you've missed the boat

00:25:41.340 on that one, Stelios.

00:25:42.620 You know, you probably

00:25:43.380 came in lawfully.

00:25:44.640 I came in by plane.

00:25:45.720 I love how you say

00:25:46.220 probably.

00:25:46.820 You employ him.

00:25:48.600 I didn't check.

00:25:49.440 Anyway.

00:25:55.000 Thank you.

00:25:55.540 At some point,

00:25:56.160 I would love if my

00:25:57.280 public co-host

00:25:58.320 could give me the equipment.

00:25:59.380 I'm already paying

00:26:00.700 for your social housing,

00:26:01.560 Stelios.

00:26:01.860 I haven't got...

00:26:02.600 You need to pay more,

00:26:03.900 Connor.

00:26:05.100 Enough is never enough.

00:26:06.840 The world is not enough.

00:26:08.000 Thank you, Rachel Reeves.

00:26:08.900 I want more benefits.

00:26:11.880 And unquestioning loyalty.

00:26:13.260 Right, so a few days ago,

00:26:17.840 Ireland headed for 0.88

00:26:18.780 general elections

00:26:19.660 and literally

00:26:21.220 nothing seems to have

00:26:24.000 changed that much,

00:26:25.120 which was kind of a letdown

00:26:26.800 for many people

00:26:27.540 because the coalition government

00:26:29.560 that governed Ireland

00:26:30.860 for a long time now

00:26:32.040 has been re-elected.

00:26:35.140 Obviously, the Greens

00:26:36.420 won't be part of it.

00:26:38.420 I think that they did

00:26:39.580 have the previous

00:26:40.780 governments back.

00:26:41.900 But now they have been

00:26:43.620 completely crushed.

00:26:44.600 So this is the good news.

00:26:47.120 They had 12 seats.

00:26:48.560 Now they have one.

00:26:49.960 So let's see what happened

00:26:51.100 here in the results.

00:26:51.920 We have the Sinn Féin

00:26:53.420 got 39 seats.

00:26:55.380 The Fianna Fáil got 48.

00:26:57.080 The Fine Gael got 38.

00:26:59.280 The Green Party won.

00:27:00.720 The Labour Party 11.

00:27:02.500 The Social Democrat Party

00:27:03.920 got 11.

00:27:04.900 I think that's called

00:27:05.600 People Before Profits

00:27:06.780 Solidarity got 3.

00:27:09.520 And Independence and others

00:27:10.920 got 23.

00:27:12.400 Do they have a single

00:27:13.180 right-wing party?

00:27:13.720 Yeah, I was going to say

00:27:14.320 just you're going to have

00:27:15.360 to summarize this for me

00:27:16.180 because I don't really know

00:27:16.860 that much about Irish politics.

00:27:18.980 But all of those sound

00:27:19.660 like left-wing parties.

00:27:21.660 That's the tragedy.

00:27:23.640 The overwhelming majority

00:27:25.080 of them are either left

00:27:26.560 or globalist,

00:27:27.900 which means left.

00:27:29.760 But sometimes, you know,

00:27:31.140 not as fast left.

00:27:32.340 So what happened here

00:27:34.280 in a nutshell

00:27:35.500 is the party

00:27:37.700 with Simon Harris

00:27:39.700 and Helen McEntee

00:27:41.220 just lost a seat

00:27:42.480 from 39.

00:27:43.260 I think they got 38.

00:27:45.760 Fianna Fáil got 10 seats.

00:27:48.560 They were governing

00:27:50.240 as a coalition.

00:27:51.440 I don't like that brand

00:27:52.180 of leftism.

00:27:52.860 I want this brand of leftism.

00:27:53.840 So on paper,

00:27:56.360 the Fianna Fáil

00:27:58.220 is supposed to be

00:27:59.160 center-right,

00:28:00.080 but it's globally

00:28:01.060 center-right.

00:28:01.840 It's like Ursula von der Leyen

00:28:03.880 in the EU,

00:28:04.960 which means

00:28:05.380 essentially

00:28:06.180 they are tying,

00:28:08.380 they're abiding

00:28:09.040 by EU policies

00:28:10.040 in this case,

00:28:11.240 especially by the EU

00:28:12.580 migration package.

00:28:13.380 So hang on a second.

00:28:14.200 So what,

00:28:14.500 I'm going to guess

00:28:16.280 that what they are

00:28:17.080 is economically

00:28:18.760 right-wing,

00:28:19.660 as in pro-free market,

00:28:20.760 international,

00:28:21.240 but socially liberal.

00:28:21.980 I would say

00:28:24.820 the way I saw them acting,

00:28:27.980 they reminded me

00:28:28.680 a lot of the Tories.

00:28:29.640 Yeah, I bet.

00:28:30.680 Right, so

00:28:31.740 the Green Party

00:28:33.280 has lost 11 seats.

00:28:35.360 From 12,

00:28:35.980 they went to one.

00:28:37.480 But Labour

00:28:38.560 and Social Democrat,

00:28:40.000 which people tell me

00:28:41.660 are very,

00:28:42.740 very left,

00:28:43.840 they're hard left

00:28:44.400 and also woke,

00:28:45.500 they got 10 seats.

00:28:47.500 So maybe the 11 seats

00:28:49.380 that left

00:28:50.460 the Green Party

00:28:51.660 went to those

00:28:52.340 two parties.

00:28:54.080 I can't help

00:28:54.460 but notice

00:28:54.800 that they have

00:28:55.480 the exact same turnout

00:28:56.880 that we have

00:28:57.320 at 59%.

00:28:58.580 So 40% of Irish people 0.99

00:29:00.560 are just like,

00:29:01.040 yeah, well,

00:29:01.760 you know,

00:29:02.020 there's nothing for me here.

00:29:03.860 Which was

00:29:04.820 less than

00:29:05.920 the 63% 0.65

00:29:07.240 of four years ago.

00:29:09.880 Here we have

00:29:10.760 the results

00:29:11.360 from four years ago

00:29:12.460 where we see

00:29:14.060 what happened.

00:29:14.700 You see here

00:29:15.120 Labour and

00:29:16.420 Social Democrats

00:29:17.920 had 12

00:29:18.980 seats

00:29:20.360 in combination

00:29:22.040 and the Greens.

00:29:23.440 Yeah, so

00:29:23.760 I suspect

00:29:25.220 most of the Greens

00:29:26.460 went there.

00:29:27.420 So yeah,

00:29:28.280 it's good that

00:29:28.900 the Green Party

00:29:29.560 got crushed

00:29:30.620 but I suspect

00:29:32.200 nothing changed

00:29:33.000 that much.

00:29:33.680 It's the election

00:29:34.180 equivalent of

00:29:34.720 Grandpa Simpson

00:29:35.340 walking in,

00:29:36.700 taking his hat off,

00:29:37.340 putting the hat back on

00:29:37.880 and coming back out.

00:29:39.340 Yeah.

00:29:39.760 So here we see

00:29:40.640 the composition

00:29:42.500 of the

00:29:43.280 Doyle,

00:29:45.420 I think it's called.

00:29:46.520 And we see here

00:29:48.000 the maps

00:29:48.660 where particular

00:29:49.640 parties went

00:29:51.740 well or bad,

00:29:54.000 how much

00:29:54.980 of the vote

00:29:55.600 they got

00:29:56.100 according to

00:29:57.160 particular counties.

00:29:58.780 Right, so

00:29:59.260 there are several

00:30:00.860 questions of

00:30:01.600 what happened here.

00:30:04.000 What's going to happen?

00:30:05.180 So most probably

00:30:06.220 we are looking

00:30:07.100 for a coalition

00:30:09.000 between the

00:30:09.960 Fianophile

00:30:10.360 and the

00:30:11.880 Fine Gael

00:30:12.540 which is

00:30:13.920 mostly

00:30:14.780 the government

00:30:15.860 that governed before

00:30:16.760 but the

00:30:18.000 major partner

00:30:19.020 is going to be

00:30:19.840 the leader

00:30:21.140 of the

00:30:22.300 Fianophile

00:30:23.180 and this

00:30:25.340 raises the hope

00:30:28.120 that Simon Harris

00:30:29.600 is going to take

00:30:30.240 a secondary role

00:30:31.280 and that

00:30:32.260 Helen McEntee

00:30:33.100 maybe won't

00:30:34.140 be involved

00:30:35.060 as she was

00:30:36.260 involved before

00:30:36.980 and we will

00:30:37.580 talk about her

00:30:38.300 in a bit.

00:30:39.660 But the

00:30:40.080 coalition

00:30:40.440 didn't lose

00:30:41.060 that much.

00:30:41.720 They lost

00:30:42.120 only 0.4%

00:30:43.740 from 43.1

00:30:45.460 as a total

00:30:46.400 four years ago

00:30:47.760 they have

00:30:48.220 42.7

00:30:49.880 and

00:30:50.860 the

00:30:51.700 Sinn Féin

00:30:52.820 lost

00:30:53.200 close to

00:30:54.260 5.5

00:30:55.240 but

00:30:56.820 there's

00:30:58.480 a substantial

00:30:59.200 question here

00:30:59.980 what happened?

00:31:01.020 Okay, what

00:31:01.380 happened?

00:31:02.200 Why did this

00:31:03.000 happen?

00:31:04.140 And

00:31:04.160 what on earth

00:31:06.740 were the Irish

00:31:07.940 thinking?

00:31:08.480 Because

00:31:08.840 there are

00:31:09.840 all sorts of

00:31:10.780 strategies now

00:31:12.460 that the

00:31:13.100 new government

00:31:14.580 is going to

00:31:15.200 think.

00:31:15.700 The question is

00:31:16.400 how are they

00:31:16.960 going to form it?

00:31:17.620 Because together

00:31:18.360 they don't have

00:31:19.580 the majority.

00:31:20.180 They need at least

00:31:20.860 two seats

00:31:21.400 to have the majority.

00:31:22.780 So the question

00:31:23.320 here is

00:31:23.920 who are they

00:31:26.440 going to address?

00:31:27.420 My suspicion

00:31:28.280 is that they

00:31:28.840 are not going

00:31:29.520 to address

00:31:30.200 a major party

00:31:31.540 because that

00:31:34.000 would give

00:31:34.580 the leader

00:31:35.720 of that

00:31:36.200 party

00:31:36.680 really

00:31:38.440 much power

00:31:40.240 to break

00:31:41.340 the government

00:31:41.760 if their

00:31:42.540 demands

00:31:42.920 are met.

00:31:43.800 So I think

00:31:44.540 they're going

00:31:44.840 to go to

00:31:45.200 the

00:31:45.340 independents.

00:31:46.500 Just a quick

00:31:47.180 thing, I assume

00:31:47.620 they have

00:31:47.820 proportional

00:31:48.200 representation

00:31:48.860 in Ireland,

00:31:49.500 right?

00:31:49.680 I think so,

00:31:51.240 yeah.

00:31:52.180 I may be

00:31:52.980 completely

00:31:53.320 mistaken.

00:31:54.180 I hope

00:31:54.560 they do.

00:31:56.940 My other

00:31:57.480 thing is

00:31:58.680 there's clearly

00:31:59.640 a gap in

00:32:00.120 the market

00:32:00.500 here for

00:32:01.620 where most

00:32:03.340 populist

00:32:04.100 disenfranchised

00:32:04.860 voters are.

00:32:05.980 No, no, no,

00:32:07.180 no, no, no,

00:32:07.660 no.

00:32:07.980 Nigel Farage

00:32:08.500 is a Thatcher

00:32:08.920 right.

00:32:09.480 So he is

00:32:10.240 economically

00:32:10.660 I meant

00:32:11.800 sort of

00:32:12.340 spiritually.

00:32:12.760 No, no,

00:32:13.120 I'm thinking

00:32:14.480 like an Irish 1.00

00:32:15.140 Marine Le Pen

00:32:15.740 of where they

00:32:16.340 have a national

00:32:17.000 preference policy.

00:32:17.900 They like the

00:32:18.320 welfare state,

00:32:19.100 which I have

00:32:19.740 my problems

00:32:20.160 with, but

00:32:20.600 that's where

00:32:20.880 most voters

00:32:21.260 are, but

00:32:21.540 are socially

00:32:21.860 conservative.

00:32:23.400 My question

00:32:24.120 is what

00:32:24.820 in the

00:32:25.140 Irish electoral

00:32:25.760 system

00:32:26.420 paralyzes that

00:32:27.780 from moving

00:32:28.780 through when

00:32:30.100 you just have

00:32:30.740 those two

00:32:31.140 constitutional

00:32:31.700 referenders 0.99

00:32:32.240 and wokeness

00:32:33.400 was repudiated

00:32:34.060 and they said

00:32:34.420 no, we

00:32:34.700 like the

00:32:35.520 natural

00:32:35.760 Catholic

00:32:36.040 family and

00:32:36.520 we like

00:32:36.840 mothers

00:32:37.080 having a

00:32:37.320 place.

00:32:37.560 Obviously

00:32:37.840 the St.

00:32:38.180 Patrick

00:32:38.440 party.

00:32:39.800 Why has

00:32:40.100 nobody

00:32:40.260 capitalized

00:32:40.740 on this?

00:32:41.340 Open

00:32:41.560 question.

00:32:42.060 Please

00:32:42.240 leave

00:32:42.400 comments.

00:32:42.940 Well,

00:32:43.280 here is

00:32:43.940 where I

00:32:44.480 think the

00:32:44.980 segment

00:32:45.380 would go.

00:32:47.160 How I

00:32:47.580 planned it

00:32:48.140 is that

00:32:48.800 there is

00:32:50.060 a question

00:32:50.560 as to

00:32:50.900 why this

00:32:51.360 happened

00:32:51.660 and there

00:32:52.000 are several

00:32:52.560 scenarios.

00:32:53.820 Number one,

00:32:54.460 people were

00:32:55.000 happy with

00:32:55.440 the government.

00:32:56.060 It doesn't

00:32:56.600 seem to be

00:32:57.000 the case.

00:32:58.380 Not if

00:32:58.620 they've

00:32:58.760 dropped

00:32:58.900 about 10%

00:32:59.640 of voter

00:32:59.880 participation.

00:33:00.540 Yeah,

00:33:00.800 and the

00:33:01.400 other bit

00:33:02.080 is that

00:33:02.780 they didn't

00:33:04.300 know where

00:33:04.800 to go.

00:33:06.860 That's

00:33:07.340 the most

00:33:08.560 likely

00:33:09.040 scenario

00:33:11.180 is that

00:33:12.020 they didn't

00:33:13.000 know exactly

00:33:13.720 where to

00:33:14.080 go so

00:33:14.620 they may

00:33:15.360 have said

00:33:15.900 well,

00:33:16.360 better the

00:33:16.780 devil I

00:33:17.400 know than

00:33:18.080 the devil I

00:33:18.640 don't know.

00:33:19.520 And there's

00:33:19.860 a question

00:33:20.280 there and

00:33:20.860 obviously there

00:33:21.660 is a gap

00:33:22.280 in the

00:33:22.720 electoral

00:33:23.500 market about

00:33:24.840 you could

00:33:25.340 say a

00:33:25.740 genuine

00:33:26.140 right-wing

00:33:26.620 party that

00:33:27.220 would be

00:33:27.940 pro-Irish

00:33:29.080 national

00:33:29.560 sovereignty

00:33:30.060 and not

00:33:31.960 in the

00:33:32.900 virtue-signaling

00:33:34.020 way that

00:33:34.820 the nominally

00:33:36.500 center-right

00:33:37.160 parties are

00:33:37.960 doing.

00:33:40.180 The point

00:33:41.240 is that

00:33:41.800 it looks

00:33:42.820 like

00:33:43.400 just

00:33:45.420 saying no

00:33:45.980 to

00:33:46.160 immigration

00:33:46.680 isn't

00:33:47.680 enough

00:33:48.060 of a

00:33:48.400 message.

00:33:49.160 People

00:33:49.380 want to

00:33:49.860 say no,

00:33:50.400 people

00:33:50.560 want to

00:33:51.040 say that

00:33:51.780 they want

00:33:52.180 to maintain

00:33:53.780 a strong

00:33:55.480 sense of

00:33:56.260 national

00:33:57.160 sentiment

00:33:57.920 and national

00:33:58.640 loyalty

00:33:59.140 and national

00:34:00.480 sovereignty,

00:34:01.260 but there

00:34:02.300 needs to be a

00:34:03.420 more coherent

00:34:04.040 policy.

00:34:05.140 What happened?

00:34:06.100 Well, I'm just

00:34:06.620 thinking, well,

00:34:07.560 the St. Patrick

00:34:08.120 Party, it's not

00:34:09.320 enough to say

00:34:09.720 no to the

00:34:10.200 snakes, you've

00:34:10.960 got to drive

00:34:11.320 them into the

00:34:11.720 sea.

00:34:14.640 Just saying it

00:34:15.360 mimetically fits,

00:34:16.460 that's all.

00:34:17.080 We do have a

00:34:17.520 lot of Irish 0.99

00:34:17.960 viewers as

00:34:18.520 well, so get

00:34:19.740 on it.

00:34:19.960 I'm very

00:34:20.200 sympathetic to

00:34:20.960 the Irish,

00:34:21.480 because they're

00:34:21.800 speedrunning the

00:34:22.380 English experience

00:34:23.100 at the moment,

00:34:23.960 and they've

00:34:24.520 arrived at the

00:34:25.340 position where

00:34:25.880 all of our

00:34:26.280 parties are

00:34:26.680 basically left

00:34:27.180 wing.

00:34:27.520 So essentially

00:34:28.160 you need,

00:34:28.700 when I say

00:34:29.240 Farage, I

00:34:29.600 don't mean

00:34:29.900 literally Farage,

00:34:31.140 but the

00:34:31.840 outsider who

00:34:32.400 forces their

00:34:33.120 way in to

00:34:33.640 represent a

00:34:34.160 more nativist

00:34:35.040 perspective.

00:34:35.640 You need a

00:34:35.880 Trumpian figure.

00:34:36.560 Yeah, a

00:34:36.840 Trumpian figure.

00:34:37.680 And surprisingly

00:34:38.960 you would think

00:34:40.060 it would be

00:34:40.300 fairly easy for

00:34:40.960 Ireland to

00:34:41.280 find one.

00:34:42.580 Yeah.

00:34:43.560 Because socially

00:34:45.100 they seem to

00:34:45.760 be a much

00:34:46.080 more right

00:34:46.460 wing country

00:34:46.900 than most.

00:34:48.140 So, you

00:34:48.560 know.

00:34:48.920 I think, yeah,

00:34:49.700 and I think

00:34:50.760 that they

00:34:51.180 really have a

00:34:52.560 Catholic side

00:34:53.880 to them.

00:34:54.900 So, yeah,

00:34:56.180 just saying the

00:34:56.980 St. Patrick

00:34:57.380 Party that's

00:34:57.920 going to...

00:34:58.300 That's also

00:35:00.180 interesting because

00:35:00.900 if you think

00:35:02.780 that they are

00:35:03.300 speedrunning the

00:35:04.160 English experience,

00:35:05.280 there are also

00:35:06.580 lots of insights

00:35:07.660 to extract from

00:35:09.280 this case because

00:35:10.320 if there is to

00:35:12.980 be a party,

00:35:13.780 they have to

00:35:14.740 have a strong

00:35:15.600 message, a

00:35:16.520 well-formulated

00:35:18.040 vision that

00:35:19.560 is attached to

00:35:21.700 a coherent set

00:35:23.180 of policies that

00:35:24.640 also shows that

00:35:25.700 there is a

00:35:26.520 kind of, you

00:35:27.560 know, that it

00:35:28.280 could work.

00:35:29.200 Yeah.

00:35:29.420 We need to know

00:35:29.980 the mechanism of

00:35:30.720 how they're going

00:35:31.200 to get driven

00:35:31.580 into the sea.

00:35:33.080 Well, if you

00:35:33.840 want to call it

00:35:34.400 that way.

00:35:34.760 Right.

00:35:36.780 So, here we

00:35:37.660 have Michael

00:35:38.920 Martin and

00:35:39.520 Simon Harris

00:35:40.200 holding informal

00:35:41.460 discussions.

00:35:42.400 I think right

00:35:42.860 now they're in

00:35:43.360 Scotland.

00:35:44.180 Kiyosama is also

00:35:45.060 with them.

00:35:46.100 They are...

00:35:46.700 Really?

00:35:47.360 Yeah.

00:35:47.900 I think they are

00:35:48.660 talking and they're

00:35:49.780 trying to see how

00:35:50.700 they are going to

00:35:51.340 govern as a

00:35:52.180 coalition.

00:35:52.840 Kiyosama is going

00:35:53.340 to give them

00:35:53.580 some advice,

00:35:54.200 is he?

00:35:54.800 Well, yeah,

00:35:55.140 because he's...

00:35:55.520 How to love

00:35:55.960 your country.

00:35:56.620 ...bring us back

00:35:57.180 into the orbit

00:35:57.660 of the EU.

00:35:58.720 They're pro-EU

00:35:59.680 politicians.

00:36:00.660 So, even the

00:36:01.480 old battles

00:36:02.640 around the

00:36:03.560 national sovereignty

00:36:04.340 of Ireland

00:36:04.720 don't matter

00:36:05.380 to people

00:36:05.740 who have

00:36:06.020 globalist

00:36:06.420 loyalties.

00:36:06.880 Sure, but

00:36:07.280 like the...

00:36:08.240 Why would you

00:36:08.760 want Keir

00:36:09.140 Starmer's advice?

00:36:10.280 Oh, because

00:36:10.560 he just won

00:36:10.940 a decisive

00:36:11.440 victory.

00:36:12.500 Look at him

00:36:12.960 now.

00:36:14.040 Right.

00:36:14.640 So, here we

00:36:15.780 have an article

00:36:17.320 by The

00:36:17.940 Conversation

00:36:18.640 saying what

00:36:19.180 happened to

00:36:19.680 Sinn Féin.

00:36:20.600 Ireland's

00:36:21.000 opposition fails

00:36:22.360 to make

00:36:22.780 electoral breakthrough.

00:36:24.280 I have the

00:36:24.820 impression that

00:36:25.440 they are a bit

00:36:26.140 more left-wing

00:36:26.880 than the

00:36:27.480 globalist

00:36:28.680 government that

00:36:29.240 they had.

00:36:29.780 Imagine your

00:36:30.500 opposition to

00:36:31.140 the globalist

00:36:31.680 coalition-ish

00:36:32.480 in vain.

00:36:33.260 Well, they

00:36:33.460 traded the

00:36:34.820 tricolore for

00:36:35.540 the rainbow

00:36:35.840 flag.

00:36:37.740 We see here

00:36:38.760 the Irish

00:36:39.340 Greens wiped

00:36:40.520 out in the

00:36:41.440 electoral, the

00:36:42.880 election route.

00:36:44.520 My fear is

00:36:46.020 that the

00:36:47.140 government right

00:36:47.920 now may

00:36:48.460 approach the

00:36:49.220 Green, the

00:36:50.840 Green

00:36:51.440 Member of

00:36:54.480 Parliament,

00:36:55.160 which would

00:36:56.740 tie really

00:36:58.140 well to the

00:36:59.300 idea, for

00:36:59.940 instance, that

00:37:00.580 the coalition

00:37:02.940 is going to

00:37:03.680 govern according

00:37:04.480 to the

00:37:05.040 EU's mandates

00:37:06.460 and EU's

00:37:07.340 orders.

00:37:07.960 So, if

00:37:08.240 the EU is

00:37:09.620 ordering them

00:37:10.400 to implement

00:37:11.440 the net

00:37:11.960 zero policies

00:37:12.720 and all the

00:37:13.180 green policies,

00:37:14.120 there isn't

00:37:14.560 that much

00:37:15.100 reason not

00:37:16.680 to put that

00:37:17.180 Green Party

00:37:18.640 member there.

00:37:19.700 So, that

00:37:20.420 could be the

00:37:21.320 case.

00:37:21.580 But, if it

00:37:22.700 happens, it's

00:37:23.360 going to be

00:37:23.700 because of the

00:37:24.320 EU, I think.

00:37:25.120 Yeah, probably.

00:37:25.680 But, ideologically,

00:37:26.480 you can barely get a

00:37:27.240 credit card between

00:37:27.860 any of these

00:37:28.340 parties, can't

00:37:28.940 you?

00:37:29.220 So, who

00:37:29.660 cares?

00:37:30.220 But we do

00:37:30.940 see a pattern

00:37:31.600 across Europe

00:37:32.280 of people being

00:37:33.100 very much

00:37:34.120 resistant to the

00:37:36.320 Green Party and

00:37:37.480 voting against

00:37:38.860 them.

00:37:39.260 Really hard.

00:37:40.380 I remember, was

00:37:41.420 it in Germany a

00:37:42.600 few months ago?

00:37:43.880 Was it in the

00:37:44.720 Brandenburg state

00:37:45.940 elections that the

00:37:47.400 Greens got

00:37:48.080 completely crushed

00:37:48.960 there as well?

00:37:50.040 Based.

00:37:50.560 Yeah.

00:37:50.700 Right.

00:37:52.300 So, here we have

00:37:53.320 a very good

00:37:53.920 thread by David

00:37:54.960 Thunder.

00:37:55.400 I always follow

00:37:56.260 David Thunder

00:37:56.900 and as well as

00:37:58.020 other people.

00:37:59.220 My friend

00:37:59.660 Karen as well.

00:38:02.140 He has a good

00:38:03.360 thread here and

00:38:04.380 what he says is

00:38:05.380 that there were

00:38:06.160 essentially three

00:38:07.980 scenarios.

00:38:08.880 Either the

00:38:09.960 voters blamed

00:38:10.920 most Polish

00:38:11.620 failures on the

00:38:12.440 Greens or they

00:38:14.160 were pretty happy

00:38:14.920 with the incumbent

00:38:15.540 government, which

00:38:16.440 seems completely

00:38:17.100 unlikely, or they

00:38:18.080 just felt that

00:38:18.760 there was no

00:38:19.620 other viable

00:38:20.080 option.

00:38:20.700 And they

00:38:21.640 follow the

00:38:22.360 better the devil

00:38:23.120 than you know.

00:38:24.740 And he ends

00:38:26.160 with the conclusion

00:38:26.880 I mentioned before

00:38:27.840 in the line of

00:38:28.500 thinking that a

00:38:29.780 party has to

00:38:31.420 take place.

00:38:32.700 It's good in

00:38:33.660 dissident.

00:38:34.300 We need to talk

00:38:35.380 about this in

00:38:35.940 dissident spheres

00:38:36.740 because dissident

00:38:37.480 spheres have many

00:38:38.640 people who are

00:38:39.360 very much anti-system.

00:38:41.520 But the question

00:38:42.200 is whether you're

00:38:43.020 anti-system as

00:38:44.200 such or as

00:38:45.460 anti the form

00:38:46.640 that the current

00:38:47.240 system has.

00:38:48.800 So,

00:38:49.680 anti-system

00:38:50.460 for anti-system

00:38:51.960 sake

00:38:53.160 doesn't seem

00:38:54.760 to be strong

00:38:56.020 enough.

00:38:57.140 And I will

00:38:58.340 say this,

00:38:58.960 which a lot

00:39:00.480 of our viewers

00:39:00.980 in the US

00:39:01.460 may not like,

00:39:02.440 it seems to

00:39:02.960 me that Trump

00:39:03.780 is not going

00:39:04.320 to destroy

00:39:05.060 the US

00:39:06.340 system the

00:39:07.720 way a lot

00:39:08.540 of people

00:39:08.920 believed he

00:39:09.740 would.

00:39:09.940 All I'm

00:39:10.440 saying is

00:39:10.800 vote St.

00:39:11.240 Patrick for

00:39:11.700 a snake-free

00:39:12.200 island.

00:39:13.680 The slogans

00:39:14.740 write themselves,

00:39:15.720 man.

00:39:17.480 And here

00:39:18.800 it shows

00:39:20.200 the tragedy

00:39:21.440 that happened

00:39:22.620 in Ireland

00:39:23.080 according to

00:39:23.980 the way I see

00:39:25.200 it is that

00:39:25.780 actually the

00:39:26.680 people weren't

00:39:27.560 happy with the

00:39:28.100 coalition government.

00:39:28.820 I think that

00:39:29.680 the results

00:39:30.280 of the

00:39:30.600 referendum,

00:39:31.520 the referendums

00:39:32.580 of March

00:39:33.100 the 8th

00:39:33.720 show this

00:39:34.340 resoundingly.

00:39:35.160 They really

00:39:36.040 disliked the

00:39:37.260 agenda that

00:39:38.700 the coalition

00:39:39.260 government was

00:39:39.940 putting forward.

00:39:41.700 And we need

00:39:42.800 to bear in mind

00:39:43.320 that Ireland is

00:39:44.040 suffering from

00:39:44.660 a housing

00:39:45.680 crisis,

00:39:46.440 a healthcare

00:39:47.440 crisis.

00:39:48.320 No kidding!

00:39:48.880 I wonder what

00:39:49.640 could have caused

00:39:50.040 this.

00:39:50.840 Yeah,

00:39:51.200 a housing

00:39:51.840 crisis.

00:39:52.780 Yeah,

00:39:53.040 I said it.

00:39:53.780 Yeah.

00:39:53.960 you wonder

00:39:56.220 what it caused

00:39:57.220 it.

00:39:57.380 Let's see some

00:39:57.920 stats.

00:39:58.500 Ireland's

00:39:58.980 housing shortage

00:39:59.720 is worsening

00:40:00.440 due to increasing

00:40:01.140 demand.

00:40:01.800 I wonder why.

00:40:03.020 Local councils

00:40:03.880 lost power to

00:40:05.060 build housing

00:40:05.760 30 years ago,

00:40:07.200 plus 90% of

00:40:08.440 government money

00:40:09.080 concentrated at

00:40:09.960 national level.

00:40:11.340 Also, Ireland

00:40:11.840 built entire

00:40:12.820 states where

00:40:13.480 poor and stupid

00:40:14.560 now can't build

00:40:16.140 a hospital.

00:40:17.420 Privatization

00:40:18.100 of infrastructure

00:40:19.180 projects led to

00:40:20.200 inefficiency.

00:40:21.720 A must

00:40:22.520 listen for

00:40:23.280 anyone concerned

00:40:24.220 about Ireland's

00:40:25.080 housing crisis

00:40:25.680 and local

00:40:26.140 governance.

00:40:26.700 Now,

00:40:26.920 I'll take that

00:40:27.500 with a pinch

00:40:27.960 of salt,

00:40:29.360 but it seems

00:40:30.560 that a lot

00:40:31.160 of people are

00:40:31.620 saying that

00:40:32.040 it doesn't

00:40:32.720 look well.

00:40:33.280 It's going to

00:40:33.660 be the same

00:40:34.080 managerial crisis

00:40:35.060 that we're

00:40:35.460 facing.

00:40:35.940 So,

00:40:36.480 what the

00:40:37.140 coalition

00:40:37.540 government

00:40:37.960 said,

00:40:38.580 which is

00:40:39.320 interesting to

00:40:40.360 look at it

00:40:40.860 from a

00:40:41.700 rhetoric

00:40:41.980 perspective,

00:40:42.660 they said

00:40:43.020 that they

00:40:43.300 had a

00:40:43.600 surplus

00:40:43.880 budget,

00:40:45.200 which is,

00:40:46.420 you can

00:40:46.800 see,

00:40:47.040 on its own

00:40:48.220 it's good,

00:40:49.180 but on the

00:40:49.580 other hand,

00:40:50.020 if you just

00:40:50.560 look at that

00:40:51.120 variable and

00:40:52.100 ignore all

00:40:52.640 the others,

00:40:53.280 we're going

00:40:53.700 to have a

00:40:54.100 very distorted

00:40:54.860 picture.

00:40:55.460 So,

00:40:55.640 it could be

00:40:56.160 the case

00:40:56.640 that a lot

00:40:57.420 of the

00:40:57.660 voters,

00:40:58.120 or a

00:40:58.420 substantial

00:40:58.840 amount

00:40:59.240 of voters,

00:40:59.880 just look

00:41:00.480 at it in

00:41:00.860 the abstract

00:41:01.240 and say,

00:41:01.640 okay,

00:41:01.900 we have

00:41:02.300 surplus

00:41:02.600 budget,

00:41:03.560 according to

00:41:04.340 the rhetoric

00:41:04.920 of

00:41:05.220 Fiannafile

00:41:06.020 and Fine

00:41:06.720 Gael,

00:41:07.380 so we're

00:41:07.760 going to

00:41:07.960 vote for

00:41:08.300 them.

00:41:09.760 And here,

00:41:10.720 there is also

00:41:11.280 a very huge

00:41:12.260 immigration

00:41:12.760 crisis in,

00:41:14.280 an asylum

00:41:14.780 crisis in

00:41:15.520 Ireland.

00:41:16.220 It's pushed

00:41:17.940 forward by the

00:41:18.760 EU and by

00:41:19.800 the EU

00:41:20.180 migration pact.

00:41:21.100 Here we

00:41:21.880 have

00:41:22.100 Helen

00:41:22.420 McEntee

00:41:22.900 saying,

00:41:24.140 literally,

00:41:25.160 I think,

00:41:25.600 about a

00:41:25.920 month ago,

00:41:26.440 you have

00:41:26.840 millions of

00:41:27.340 people on

00:41:27.680 the move,

00:41:28.160 you can't

00:41:28.560 tell them

00:41:28.880 not to

00:41:29.240 seek a

00:41:29.500 better life.

00:41:30.200 You can,

00:41:30.460 actually.

00:41:32.600 You are an

00:41:33.280 island.

00:41:33.960 You can.

00:41:34.780 And even if you

00:41:35.520 weren't an

00:41:35.880 island,

00:41:36.540 Poland and

00:41:37.100 Hungary have 0.97

00:41:37.520 shown us,

00:41:37.880 you still

00:41:38.280 can.

00:41:38.700 Yes,

00:41:38.880 but it's not

00:41:39.200 like people

00:41:39.540 are literally

00:41:40.080 just walking

00:41:40.660 in.

00:41:41.280 But even if

00:41:41.720 they are,

00:41:42.060 you can build

00:41:42.540 a barrier to

00:41:43.580 stop them.

00:41:44.480 If it works

00:41:45.460 for the Israelis,

00:41:46.040 it's good

00:41:46.280 enough for me.

00:41:46.900 Poland and

00:41:47.500 Hungary literally

00:41:48.080 did this and

00:41:48.840 just cut them

00:41:49.900 over the

00:41:50.200 barrier.

00:41:51.400 Anyway.

00:41:52.360 Yes,

00:41:52.600 and there is

00:41:53.180 a lot of

00:41:53.960 dissatisfaction

00:41:55.020 with politicians

00:41:56.400 like her and

00:41:57.340 the kind of

00:41:58.400 politics that

00:41:59.640 they advocate.

00:42:00.360 She was

00:42:00.900 behind one

00:42:03.280 of the worst

00:42:03.840 hate speech

00:42:04.480 bills ever.

00:42:08.040 Some parts

00:42:08.740 of it have

00:42:09.360 passed,

00:42:11.140 not all of

00:42:11.740 it,

00:42:11.940 but she said

00:42:12.760 that she

00:42:13.260 will carry

00:42:14.040 on.

00:42:16.280 And as

00:42:17.480 I have

00:42:18.100 been told

00:42:19.740 there is

00:42:22.020 allegation

00:42:22.820 of corruption,

00:42:23.540 there are

00:42:23.840 suspicions

00:42:24.360 of corruption

00:42:24.920 because her

00:42:26.920 husband is

00:42:27.880 an executive,

00:42:29.980 a senior

00:42:30.340 executive in

00:42:31.560 one of the

00:42:32.000 pharmaceutical

00:42:32.580 companies that

00:42:34.380 sells puberty

00:42:35.420 blocker drugs

00:42:36.360 called AbbVie.

00:42:38.060 So there

00:42:38.640 is considerable

00:42:40.480 suspicion with

00:42:42.420 respect to

00:42:43.020 her.

00:42:43.280 People really

00:42:43.900 don't like

00:42:44.460 her.

00:42:45.460 Maybe the

00:42:46.200 new government

00:42:47.060 now will

00:42:48.160 tell her

00:42:48.760 that she

00:42:49.600 shouldn't

00:42:49.860 be in the

00:42:50.980 minister of

00:42:52.360 justice as

00:42:52.940 she was.

00:42:53.600 But I have

00:42:54.940 the impression

00:42:55.400 that she's

00:42:55.900 going to

00:42:56.660 keep hammering

00:42:58.260 this.

00:42:58.700 Well, even if

00:42:59.120 she doesn't

00:42:59.520 keep her

00:42:59.880 job, the

00:43:00.660 commitment to

00:43:01.440 the on-rails

00:43:02.380 way of global

00:43:03.780 liberal politics

00:43:04.560 continues to go

00:43:05.540 forward.

00:43:05.880 It's just that

00:43:06.340 she's become

00:43:07.100 bad PR for

00:43:08.500 them.

00:43:08.660 So just to

00:43:09.580 summarize, it

00:43:10.340 looks like

00:43:11.060 nothing changed

00:43:12.380 unfortunately, and

00:43:14.180 for there to

00:43:15.500 be meaningful

00:43:16.180 change, there

00:43:16.920 has to be a

00:43:17.780 genuine right

00:43:19.660 wing Irish

00:43:20.420 movement that

00:43:21.640 respects national

00:43:22.680 sovereignty, but

00:43:24.000 also has a very

00:43:25.220 coherent plan and

00:43:26.580 vision with

00:43:27.580 respect to how

00:43:28.280 to do it, that

00:43:29.000 will seem as

00:43:31.780 a good plan

00:43:33.500 in the eyes of

00:43:36.840 most of the

00:43:37.700 Irish.

00:43:39.000 GLE says, if

00:43:40.180 only the UK was

00:43:40.840 one-tenth as

00:43:41.460 based as that

00:43:41.980 playwright says.

00:43:42.820 We cannot

00:43:43.120 condone any of

00:43:43.840 the violent

00:43:44.160 actions by the

00:43:45.080 right-wing

00:43:46.000 mobs in that 0.74

00:43:47.480 play.

00:43:49.500 But imagine a

00:43:50.740 UK state that

00:43:51.800 was focused

00:43:52.640 around looking

00:43:53.800 after the good

00:43:54.380 of its own

00:43:54.880 native citizens.

00:43:55.980 And wasn't

00:43:56.360 actively

00:43:56.820 propagandizing

00:43:57.560 them on behalf

00:43:58.240 of Islamic

00:43:58.640 terrorists. 0.53

00:43:59.280 It's just

00:43:59.960 impossible to

00:44:00.740 imagine.

00:44:01.780 Gavin says,

00:44:02.720 $5 to doing

00:44:03.660 a citizenship

00:44:04.920 check to

00:44:06.040 anyone on

00:44:06.540 those seats

00:44:06.900 employees.

00:44:07.700 We'll do

00:44:08.360 afterwards.

00:44:09.280 Binary says,

00:44:10.260 if we were to

00:44:10.840 play reversing

00:44:11.520 the roles and

00:44:12.120 setting it in

00:44:13.080 the Middle

00:44:13.400 Eastern country,

00:44:14.120 Christian victims,

00:44:15.140 we're going to

00:44:15.440 knock on the

00:44:15.840 door from the

00:44:16.240 fuzz or even

00:44:16.820 end up in

00:44:17.260 jail.

00:44:17.840 Yes, you

00:44:18.220 would.

00:44:19.600 Anyway, so,

00:44:21.040 I want to talk

00:44:21.500 about the Greg

00:44:21.940 Wallace saga

00:44:22.940 that has been

00:44:23.400 going on for

00:44:23.980 the past week

00:44:24.680 solid now.

00:44:27.540 Why?

00:44:28.340 Because I don't

00:44:29.260 know who Greg

00:44:29.780 Wallace is.

00:44:31.000 And they're all

00:44:31.700 like, God, look

00:44:32.460 at this evil man.

00:44:33.260 And I'm like,

00:44:33.900 okay, all right,

00:44:35.400 okay.

00:44:36.220 And so, like,

00:44:37.320 it's like, evil

00:44:37.760 man.

00:44:38.100 I was like, oh,

00:44:38.500 okay, what did

00:44:39.180 this BBC

00:44:39.620 presenter do?

00:44:41.120 Nothing as bad

00:44:41.940 as the other BBC

00:44:42.640 presenters?

00:44:43.360 Yeah.

00:44:44.360 Yeah, they seem

00:44:45.880 to be most annoyed

00:44:46.640 that he's interested

00:44:47.360 in adult human

00:44:48.160 females, which is

00:44:50.280 literally the entire

00:44:51.280 allegation against

00:44:52.180 him.

00:44:52.340 Okay.

00:44:53.080 He acted on

00:44:53.900 gentlemanly in the

00:44:54.980 workplace.

00:44:55.600 Yeah, we'll cover

00:44:56.780 it in some

00:44:57.240 autistic detail

00:44:58.100 because I just

00:44:59.380 want to show

00:45:00.180 people just how

00:45:01.400 this isn't really

00:45:03.360 news, right?

00:45:04.400 What this is, is

00:45:05.360 something that

00:45:05.680 should have been

00:45:05.960 dealt with internally

00:45:06.600 and not really our

00:45:07.620 problem.

00:45:08.340 And also,

00:45:09.260 essentially, Greg

00:45:10.080 Wallace's crime is

00:45:11.160 being cringe.

00:45:12.520 Yes.

00:45:13.140 That is his crime.

00:45:14.500 And also being a

00:45:16.140 working class cringe 1.00

00:45:17.240 boomer.

00:45:17.700 He's not actually a

00:45:18.260 boomer, he's an

00:45:18.700 expert.

00:45:19.280 Spiritually.

00:45:19.860 Spiritually a

00:45:20.540 working class boomer

00:45:21.540 against the love

00:45:24.280 actually women of 1.00

00:45:26.060 the early 2000s.

00:45:27.320 Glamour feminists. 1.00

00:45:28.420 No, I wouldn't

00:45:29.560 go that far.

00:45:30.040 You mean Kieran?

00:45:30.740 No.

00:45:31.580 The sort of

00:45:32.200 bourgeois feminism

00:45:33.020 of the early 2000s,

00:45:34.880 right?

00:45:35.720 Where you've got a

00:45:36.600 kind of level of

00:45:39.720 appropriateness that

00:45:41.180 they expect.

00:45:41.800 It's very, again,

00:45:42.560 it's very bourgeois.

00:45:43.400 It's very...

00:45:44.680 You say that, the

00:45:46.120 same sort of class

00:45:47.280 of women who expect 0.99

00:45:48.520 this level of

00:45:48.980 appropriateness from

00:45:49.680 Greg Wallace.

00:45:50.180 They promote

00:45:52.860 loose women, they 1.00

00:45:53.540 promote Lorraine

00:45:54.140 Kelly.

00:45:54.900 Yeah, but that's

00:45:55.620 all fine because

00:45:56.240 that's done by

00:45:56.900 women. 0.81

00:45:57.400 I know, yeah, yeah.

00:45:58.060 When it's done by

00:45:58.660 a man, then it's a

00:45:59.260 problem, especially

00:45:59.680 a working class

00:46:00.200 man.

00:46:01.360 I kind of agree

00:46:02.420 because of the

00:46:03.060 physical differentiation,

00:46:04.120 but they don't agree

00:46:04.860 because they want to

00:46:05.440 level all sex 0.60

00:46:05.880 differences.

00:46:06.320 Yeah, and they

00:46:07.720 also want to make

00:46:09.760 it so that a man

00:46:10.380 can never be

00:46:10.920 sexually forward,

00:46:13.860 which is fine.

00:46:15.060 And to be honest

00:46:15.560 with you, like I

00:46:16.240 said, I find Greg

00:46:16.980 Wallace's behavior

00:46:17.600 really cringe.

00:46:18.200 But the thing

00:46:21.280 is, the question

00:46:21.980 is, is it

00:46:22.580 criminal?

00:46:23.320 No, it doesn't

00:46:23.980 appear to be.

00:46:25.820 Is it

00:46:26.340 inappropriate?

00:46:27.060 Well, given it

00:46:28.320 is the BBC,

00:46:29.940 he seems to have

00:46:30.460 been rather

00:46:30.840 tepid.

00:46:31.480 Yeah, he's

00:46:31.740 no Hugh

00:46:32.060 Edwards.

00:46:32.960 He's no Jimmy

00:46:33.780 Savile.

00:46:34.920 And what's the

00:46:35.280 guy who raped

00:46:35.760 all the dogs

00:46:36.300 to death?

00:46:37.520 What?

00:46:38.260 Yeah, the vet.

00:46:39.480 Yeah, there was

00:46:40.220 a BBC presenter

00:46:41.120 who raped like

00:46:41.980 39 dogs to

00:46:43.100 death.

00:46:44.780 Did you not see

00:46:45.620 that?

00:46:46.140 It was only fairly

00:46:46.780 recently as well.

00:46:47.600 Poor dogs.

00:46:48.180 I could have

00:46:48.500 lived without

00:46:48.900 knowing this

00:46:49.420 actually.

00:46:49.860 So like, you

00:46:51.180 know, Greg

00:46:51.960 Wallace has been

00:46:52.580 a bit cringed

00:46:53.280 towards women 0.70

00:46:53.880 who weren't

00:46:54.280 interested in

00:46:54.820 his advances.

00:46:56.060 Yeah, I agree

00:46:56.680 that's not great.

00:46:57.840 But let's be

00:46:58.560 honest, the BBC

00:46:59.160 has just got such

00:47:00.140 worse skeletons

00:47:00.860 in the cupboard.

00:47:02.240 But anyway, so

00:47:02.860 yeah, Greg

00:47:03.300 Wallace, I

00:47:03.680 didn't know who

00:47:04.080 he was, right?

00:47:04.760 Because I don't

00:47:05.140 watch like

00:47:06.000 normie TV.

00:47:07.260 He was the

00:47:07.560 green grocer

00:47:08.040 that's the

00:47:08.400 co-presenter on

00:47:08.940 MasterChef.

00:47:09.580 Yeah, he's the

00:47:10.240 co-presenter on

00:47:10.780 MasterChef.

00:47:11.180 And he's done a

00:47:11.700 bunch of other

00:47:12.160 things as well.

00:47:13.260 Like, as you

00:47:13.840 can see, he's

00:47:14.320 had a long

00:47:15.060 broadcasting career

00:47:16.060 and he's a

00:47:18.140 Londoner.

00:47:18.820 He's from

00:47:19.280 Peckham, isn't

00:47:20.360 it?

00:47:20.520 Peckham, yeah.

00:47:21.460 And, you know,

00:47:22.380 he's a Londoner

00:47:23.140 from the 1960s.

00:47:25.300 So he is a

00:47:26.220 little bit of a

00:47:26.920 dinosaur in the

00:47:27.800 age of the new

00:47:28.540 men.

00:47:28.860 The important

00:47:29.260 thing to note

00:47:29.800 about this that

00:47:30.280 I was going to

00:47:31.420 bring up, because

00:47:32.380 I found out about

00:47:33.600 this via cultural

00:47:34.340 osmosis, because

00:47:35.020 this has, if

00:47:35.660 you're in Britain, 0.82

00:47:36.220 been the headline

00:47:37.100 for a week.

00:47:38.560 Yeah.

00:47:39.540 He said in his

00:47:40.420 biography that when

00:47:41.920 he was eight years

00:47:42.480 old, he was

00:47:43.200 sexually abused.

00:47:44.980 So I think that

00:47:45.680 this unhealthy

00:47:46.480 relationship to

00:47:47.380 sexual boundaries

00:47:48.200 might have

00:47:48.880 stemmed from

00:47:49.380 somewhere.

00:47:50.360 Entirely

00:47:50.780 possible.

00:47:51.380 I'm not in a

00:47:51.820 position to

00:47:52.240 psychoanalyse him,

00:47:53.840 but that does

00:47:55.740 seem something

00:47:56.740 that may be a

00:47:58.500 contributing factor

00:47:59.300 to this.

00:48:00.040 But as you can

00:48:00.340 see, he sold

00:48:01.280 vegetables at a

00:48:02.040 stand in Covent

00:48:02.620 Garden before

00:48:03.260 becoming a

00:48:03.700 salesman.

00:48:04.500 And so there's

00:48:06.140 a kind of

00:48:07.100 working-class

00:48:08.380 London stereotype,

00:48:10.220 which is a

00:48:11.280 kind of loud...

00:48:13.160 The Barrow

00:48:13.500 Boy.

00:48:13.940 The Barrow

00:48:14.440 Boy.

00:48:14.800 The sort of

00:48:15.240 bantering...

00:48:16.520 I don't know

00:48:19.000 how to describe

00:48:19.540 it, really.

00:48:20.360 Cockney

00:48:20.760 Cheeky Chappy. 0.98

00:48:21.800 Yeah, Cockney

00:48:22.460 Cheeky Chappy, 0.97

00:48:23.200 yeah.

00:48:23.340 And that's the

00:48:23.840 kind of stereotype

00:48:24.440 that Greg fits

00:48:25.620 into.

00:48:26.320 And that stereotype 0.96

00:48:27.320 became superseded

00:48:28.220 in about 2000,

00:48:29.740 when a bunch of

00:48:30.720 bourgeois

00:48:31.760 cosmopolitan

00:48:32.840 men took over

00:48:34.940 in the Blair

00:48:35.680 administration and

00:48:36.800 instantiated a

00:48:38.020 new kind of

00:48:39.140 over-culture,

00:48:40.520 in which no

00:48:41.680 one's allowed to

00:48:42.280 be a Cheeky

00:48:42.860 Chappy, because

00:48:43.500 that's...

00:48:44.300 I was going to

00:48:44.660 say racism.

00:48:45.380 In some ways,

00:48:45.920 it is racism.

00:48:46.940 But also, it's a

00:48:48.000 sexism.

00:48:49.000 Greg has done a

00:48:49.560 lot of sexisms.

00:48:50.500 If people have

00:48:51.140 seen Love,

00:48:52.420 actually, the

00:48:52.900 kind of person

00:48:53.360 they're talking

00:48:53.700 about is Hugh

00:48:54.440 Grant, who's

00:48:55.640 sort of bumbling

00:48:56.400 and apologetic

00:48:57.380 about his

00:48:57.840 innuendos, at

00:48:58.500 the very least.

00:48:59.140 Yeah.

00:48:59.940 But Greg

00:49:00.760 Wallace, but

00:49:01.460 that's the thing,

00:49:02.240 Hugh Grant being

00:49:02.860 the avatar of a

00:49:04.140 bourgeois man,

00:49:05.640 Greg Wallace is a

00:49:06.620 working-class man,

00:49:07.420 and so he is

00:49:08.020 tactless, I think we

00:49:09.480 can say at best.

00:49:11.140 And so anyway,

00:49:11.980 he's been popular,

00:49:13.260 because the other

00:49:14.660 side of the Cheeky

00:49:15.380 Chappy is he's

00:49:16.340 funny and endearing,

00:49:17.980 and people like

00:49:19.060 him.

00:49:19.840 He's a fun guy to

00:49:20.740 be around.

00:49:21.840 And so he's been

00:49:22.520 really popular.

00:49:23.160 I mean, he did

00:49:23.620 earlier this year,

00:49:25.100 in fact, Greg

00:49:26.320 Wallace had done

00:49:27.600 like a perfect

00:49:28.300 Saturday show,

00:49:30.760 where basically he

00:49:31.540 just explains what

00:49:32.220 his perfect Saturday

00:49:33.000 is.

00:49:34.080 And on Greg's,

00:49:35.460 it's just like,

00:49:36.060 well, I get up

00:49:36.560 really early, I

00:49:37.120 read some of my

00:49:37.580 book, I go to

00:49:39.360 the gym, I have

00:49:40.540 lunch at like 10

00:49:41.820 o'clock or

00:49:42.260 something, it was

00:49:42.720 really early,

00:49:43.760 10.30 a.m.

00:49:45.860 And then I go

00:49:47.000 and spend some

00:49:47.360 time with my

00:49:47.720 kids, I'll go

00:49:48.380 home and play a

00:49:48.880 strategy game in

00:49:49.580 the afternoon for

00:49:50.100 a couple of

00:49:50.460 hours, and I'll

00:49:51.200 be in bed by

00:49:51.740 nine o'clock, and

00:49:52.500 it'll just be a

00:49:53.120 really boring day.

00:49:53.740 And everyone, for

00:49:54.320 some reason, took

00:49:55.700 exception to this.

00:49:56.900 And this guy's

00:49:57.480 like, oh, I

00:49:58.060 interviewed Greg,

00:49:58.700 I really liked

00:49:59.740 him, he's a

00:50:00.100 really charming

00:50:00.760 dude, blah, blah,

00:50:01.480 blah, blah,

00:50:01.780 blah, right?

00:50:02.580 And there's a

00:50:03.900 lot of discourse

00:50:04.500 about this in

00:50:05.240 the normie space.

00:50:06.840 It's like, ah,

00:50:07.120 the problem with

00:50:07.560 Greg Wallace,

00:50:08.140 right?

00:50:08.720 He was too

00:50:09.240 honest.

00:50:09.940 He was just

00:50:10.280 too honest about

00:50:11.000 how his day

00:50:11.800 went.

00:50:12.720 It's just like,

00:50:13.680 okay, but he's,

00:50:15.560 I mean, I don't

00:50:16.240 know, I've never

00:50:17.060 watched anything

00:50:17.600 with him in, I

00:50:18.620 don't know anything

00:50:19.100 about him, and

00:50:19.760 this is the kind

00:50:20.460 of discourse

00:50:20.940 they're having

00:50:21.400 before all of

00:50:22.300 this happens.

00:50:23.240 You've got people

00:50:23.760 like Janet

00:50:24.060 Street Porter,

00:50:24.520 who's like, oh

00:50:24.860 God, why do

00:50:25.340 they love him

00:50:25.880 so much?

00:50:26.440 He's always on

00:50:27.200 TV, he's their

00:50:28.640 token working

00:50:29.520 class hero, and

00:50:30.420 it's like, okay,

00:50:30.860 you can see the

00:50:32.300 discourse surrounding

00:50:33.600 him.

00:50:33.900 Of all the people,

00:50:34.500 Janet Street

00:50:34.980 Porter said this.

00:50:36.280 I mean, she's

00:50:36.660 the insufferable

00:50:37.440 harpy on loose

00:50:38.960 women. 0.81

00:50:40.180 I'm just curious,

00:50:41.120 what did he say

00:50:41.960 because I will

00:50:43.400 constantly hear the

00:50:44.600 name.

00:50:44.980 Yeah, we'll get

00:50:45.580 to it.

00:50:46.100 But anyway, Greg

00:50:46.960 Wallace, so

00:50:47.440 generally, he's, I

00:50:49.800 mean, he was a

00:50:50.340 man of standing

00:50:51.100 in this.

00:50:52.200 Sorry, the dark

00:50:52.940 mode has made

00:50:53.400 Janet Street

00:50:53.920 Porter look like 0.99

00:50:54.460 some sort of

00:50:55.120 interdimensional

00:50:55.840 goblin.

00:50:57.000 Yes, that's

00:50:57.620 correct.

00:50:59.440 But also,

00:51:00.220 something to do

00:51:00.580 with the dark

00:51:00.940 mode.

00:51:03.060 But the point

00:51:04.340 is, she's a 1.00

00:51:06.180 middle-class

00:51:06.660 woman of a

00:51:07.100 certain age,

00:51:08.180 complaining that,

00:51:09.240 oh, I don't

00:51:09.740 like this

00:51:10.100 shouty bloke

00:51:10.780 being this

00:51:11.360 token working

00:51:11.960 class hero

00:51:12.440 because he

00:51:13.480 is a popular

00:51:14.560 man within

00:51:15.240 this milieu.

00:51:16.500 He was given

00:51:16.920 an MBE a

00:51:18.520 few years ago

00:51:19.040 and, of course,

00:51:19.860 he thinks of

00:51:20.900 himself as

00:51:21.400 deserving of a

00:51:22.380 statue because

00:51:22.880 he saved the

00:51:23.420 nation from

00:51:23.920 obesity.

00:51:25.060 It's like,

00:51:25.340 okay, well,

00:51:27.100 again, I

00:51:28.300 don't know.

00:51:29.140 I don't know

00:51:29.860 who this guy

00:51:30.340 is, but he

00:51:30.880 seems to be

00:51:31.320 relatively well

00:51:31.980 liked in his

00:51:32.840 social sphere.

00:51:33.560 He seems to

00:51:33.940 have had a

00:51:34.200 successful career.

00:51:35.520 He's that

00:51:35.920 kind of, you

00:51:36.420 know, peck him

00:51:36.940 cheeky chappy 0.99

00:51:37.960 type.

00:51:38.320 So, you

00:51:40.080 get what you

00:51:40.660 get with that

00:51:41.660 kind of guy.

00:51:42.040 Save the

00:51:42.460 nation from

00:51:42.920 obesity.

00:51:43.620 Oh, apparently.

00:51:44.220 We've got really

00:51:44.640 high rates of

00:51:45.220 child obesity.

00:51:45.960 Yeah, I

00:51:46.280 know.

00:51:46.520 I didn't think

00:51:47.160 he'd want that

00:51:47.960 bad.

00:51:48.400 Connor, they

00:51:49.600 would be

00:51:49.980 higher if it

00:51:50.640 weren't for

00:51:50.980 him.

00:51:51.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:51.600 Obesity one,

00:51:52.180 Greg and

00:51:52.420 Wallace nil.

00:51:53.180 Yeah, but,

00:51:53.680 you know,

00:51:54.140 whatever, right?

00:51:55.860 The point being,

00:51:57.120 he's a known

00:51:57.700 property in this

00:51:58.960 industry and,

00:52:00.620 you know,

00:52:01.400 someone working

00:52:01.960 for the BBC,

00:52:02.840 he didn't seem

00:52:03.300 that bad,

00:52:04.440 but there is a

00:52:05.320 certain kind of

00:52:05.860 middle-class,

00:52:06.520 middle-aged

00:52:06.860 woman who 0.99

00:52:07.680 doesn't like

00:52:08.240 this kind of

00:52:08.960 man, because

00:52:09.800 this kind of

00:52:10.280 man isn't as

00:52:11.160 respecting of

00:52:12.000 boundaries as

00:52:13.580 the kind of

00:52:14.320 maybe the,

00:52:15.840 who's the other

00:52:17.060 guy in Love

00:52:17.460 Actually?

00:52:18.840 That doesn't

00:52:19.420 narrow it down.

00:52:19.900 Liam Neeson.

00:52:20.920 No, no.

00:52:22.220 You mean,

00:52:22.820 Rick from

00:52:23.920 Walking Dead,

00:52:24.700 who was showing

00:52:25.620 her the cards.

00:52:26.080 Who's the guy in

00:52:26.580 Bridget Jones?

00:52:27.800 Oh, Colin Firth.

00:52:28.460 Colin Firth.

00:52:29.180 The other one.

00:52:30.200 No, that is,

00:52:30.820 no, Hugh Grant.

00:52:31.660 It's Hugh Grant

00:52:32.260 and Colin Firth.

00:52:32.680 Right, yeah,

00:52:33.000 Colin Firth.

00:52:33.720 The sort of

00:52:34.080 Colin Firth types

00:52:34.920 and the Hugh Grant

00:52:36.160 types all fine

00:52:36.960 because they're

00:52:37.500 non-threatening.

00:52:38.760 Well, Bridget Jones

00:52:39.460 is the sort of

00:52:40.860 the Pride and

00:52:41.680 Prejudice recast

00:52:42.760 dream for that

00:52:43.640 kind of woman.

00:52:44.400 It absolutely is,

00:52:45.120 yeah.

00:52:45.540 But they're the

00:52:46.640 kind of acceptable

00:52:47.500 men from the

00:52:48.520 bourgeois feminist

00:52:49.440 position.

00:52:50.140 Yes.

00:52:50.820 Because they're

00:52:51.220 non-threatening.

00:52:52.420 Right, Greg Wallace.

00:52:52.960 Or because those

00:52:54.460 women liked them,

00:52:55.520 found them

00:52:55.920 attractive.

00:52:57.040 As compliments

00:52:57.920 sometimes when...

00:52:58.800 It's not just that.

00:52:59.980 They just,

00:53:01.540 they do find them

00:53:02.520 attractive,

00:53:02.820 but they find them

00:53:03.360 non-threatening,

00:53:04.240 right?

00:53:04.460 Because these men

00:53:05.140 fundamentally agree

00:53:06.020 with the kind of

00:53:06.840 feminist propositions 0.53

00:53:07.980 on how male-female

00:53:09.160 interaction should be.

00:53:10.440 Greg Wallace comes

00:53:11.060 from a different

00:53:11.760 kind of class,

00:53:12.380 a different kind

00:53:12.760 of culture that

00:53:13.840 is more about

00:53:16.040 being aggressive

00:53:16.740 with your own

00:53:17.260 boundaries.

00:53:18.400 You can also

00:53:19.000 believe that Greg

00:53:19.600 Wallace could handle

00:53:20.260 himself in the scrap,

00:53:21.260 whereas the two

00:53:22.100 characters in Bridget

00:53:22.760 Jones,

00:53:23.180 the entire

00:53:23.540 running joke

00:53:24.000 is that the

00:53:24.560 street fights

00:53:25.140 that they have

00:53:25.800 are embarrassing.

00:53:26.680 Yeah, yeah.

00:53:27.680 And so,

00:53:28.500 anyway,

00:53:29.660 Greg Wallace has

00:53:30.300 had a fairly

00:53:31.660 long history,

00:53:32.840 really,

00:53:33.160 of saying things

00:53:34.500 that certain

00:53:36.200 types of people

00:53:36.820 don't like.

00:53:37.280 For example,

00:53:38.340 he presented a

00:53:39.740 show called

00:53:40.060 Inside the Factory

00:53:40.900 a few years ago,

00:53:41.940 which was just him

00:53:42.720 going around factories

00:53:43.580 and saying,

00:53:43.920 oh, look at this,

00:53:44.540 this is how this

00:53:44.960 works, right?

00:53:45.720 And he was

00:53:46.800 encouraged and he

00:53:48.280 decided to quit

00:53:49.000 this.

00:53:50.100 Whoa.

00:53:50.260 Look at this

00:53:51.500 accident.

00:53:52.000 This guy here

00:53:52.640 got chopped

00:53:53.180 to death. 0.75

00:53:54.320 Well, the

00:53:54.800 factories weren't

00:53:55.520 quite that

00:53:56.160 exciting.

00:53:56.760 21st century

00:53:57.420 Friedrich Engels,

00:53:58.140 is it?

00:53:58.280 Well, we don't

00:53:59.000 have factories

00:53:59.860 that do anything

00:54:00.320 that magnificent.

00:54:01.640 We package

00:54:02.300 yogurts and

00:54:02.960 stuff.

00:54:05.040 One of the

00:54:05.840 complaints was

00:54:06.280 from a

00:54:06.500 That's glorious.

00:54:07.480 I'm not even

00:54:07.860 joking.

00:54:08.400 Right.

00:54:09.300 But during the

00:54:10.960 visit, Wallace

00:54:11.540 allegedly made

00:54:12.280 comments to

00:54:12.720 staff that were

00:54:13.200 considered

00:54:13.600 inappropriate.

00:54:14.280 The publication

00:54:15.920 understands that

00:54:16.720 remarks were

00:54:17.180 related to the

00:54:17.840 weight of

00:54:18.340 female staff

00:54:19.060 members and

00:54:19.500 were not

00:54:19.780 sexual.

00:54:23.440 So he wasn't

00:54:24.380 sexually harassing

00:54:25.120 anyone.

00:54:25.400 He was called

00:54:25.680 them fat.

00:54:26.220 Quite the

00:54:26.800 opposite, in

00:54:27.320 fact.

00:54:27.820 Yeah.

00:54:28.240 Yeah.

00:54:29.140 Anyway, so

00:54:30.140 that was back

00:54:31.260 in 2023, May

00:54:34.020 2023.

00:54:34.880 And so, you

00:54:35.560 know, some

00:54:36.980 sensitive souls

00:54:37.680 were like, how

00:54:38.100 dare you call

00:54:38.500 me fat?

00:54:38.960 You're fired.

00:54:40.060 And then we

00:54:41.340 begin in

00:54:42.040 October, where

00:54:43.540 he had to

00:54:44.260 deny a series

00:54:45.240 of inappropriate

00:54:45.800 sexual comments.

00:54:46.800 Is that okay?

00:54:47.940 All right, I can

00:54:48.480 see where this

00:54:48.840 is going.

00:54:49.840 So, he was

00:54:51.280 reported to the

00:54:51.980 BBC bosses

00:54:52.760 after he was

00:54:54.160 accused of

00:54:54.640 taking his

00:54:55.020 top off and

00:54:55.500 boasting about

00:54:55.940 his sex life

00:54:56.580 to a woman on

00:54:57.680 the show

00:54:58.000 Impossible

00:54:58.480 Celebrities in

00:54:59.260 2018.

00:55:00.500 He posted on

00:55:01.720 Instagram that

00:55:02.520 this was not

00:55:03.460 true, he hadn't

00:55:04.020 said anything

00:55:04.420 sexual, and the

00:55:05.540 BBC said,

00:55:06.860 quote, it

00:55:07.740 does not

00:55:08.120 tolerate any

00:55:08.860 form of

00:55:09.340 inappropriate

00:55:09.800 behavior, and

00:55:11.340 has robust

00:55:12.180 processes in

00:55:13.020 place.

00:55:14.260 So, that

00:55:14.720 suggests that

00:55:15.340 they didn't

00:55:15.760 find Jimmy

00:55:16.280 Saville

00:55:16.680 inappropriate.

00:55:18.180 Or Hugh

00:55:18.820 Edwards.

00:55:20.040 Or the guy

00:55:20.540 who raped all 0.98

00:55:20.980 the dogs to

00:55:21.520 death.

00:55:24.500 But no, Greg

00:55:25.980 Wallace took

00:55:26.560 his shirt off

00:55:27.380 and said

00:55:28.060 something about

00:55:28.840 his sex life

00:55:30.000 between two

00:55:30.560 consenting adults

00:55:31.340 and the BBC

00:55:31.940 were like, not

00:55:32.560 on our bloody

00:55:33.240 watch.

00:55:34.380 How dare you,

00:55:35.380 sir?

00:55:36.460 And one

00:55:37.540 source who

00:55:38.400 reported on

00:55:39.320 this to

00:55:40.100 the BBC

00:55:40.460 said, quote,

00:55:41.480 Greg appeared

00:55:42.220 to think it

00:55:42.700 was all just

00:55:43.200 banter, and

00:55:44.120 also said to

00:55:44.920 have made

00:55:45.300 some comments

00:55:45.760 in front of

00:55:46.140 the live

00:55:46.440 audience.

00:55:47.500 And were

00:55:47.800 they all

00:55:48.020 like, oh

00:55:48.420 my god, no,

00:55:49.040 they all

00:55:49.300 laughed.

00:55:49.940 Because as

00:55:50.420 far as he

00:55:50.880 was concerned,

00:55:51.340 it was just

00:55:51.700 banter.

00:55:52.420 Because he

00:55:53.020 is a

00:55:53.300 peckham

00:55:53.640 cheeky

00:55:54.080 chappy, and

00:55:55.100 not a

00:55:55.700 love-actually

00:55:56.440 Bridget Jones

00:55:57.280 type guy.

00:55:58.280 Well, okay,

00:55:59.380 let's say

00:55:59.780 rough and

00:56:01.240 rugged

00:56:01.660 heterosexual 0.84

00:56:03.140 white men

00:56:03.960 in particular

00:56:04.720 are the

00:56:05.900 public enemy

00:56:06.640 number one

00:56:07.380 of the

00:56:07.800 current

00:56:08.060 social order,

00:56:09.260 and especially

00:56:09.920 after

00:56:10.480 Me Too,

00:56:11.500 where for

00:56:13.160 decades they

00:56:14.020 tolerated actual

00:56:15.560 sexual assaults

00:56:16.680 in Hollywood,

00:56:17.720 in media,

00:56:18.800 Jimmy Savile's

00:56:19.280 sort of around

00:56:20.480 but not directly

00:56:21.080 implicated in

00:56:21.720 this.

00:56:22.320 They've then

00:56:22.760 leaped to a

00:56:23.600 now puritanical,

00:56:25.620 very prudent,

00:56:27.120 prudish, not

00:56:27.920 prudent,

00:56:28.500 crusade against

00:56:29.360 language as if

00:56:30.320 language leads

00:56:31.160 ineluctably to

00:56:32.260 rape.

00:56:32.660 And so now

00:56:33.620 he's fallen on

00:56:34.260 the wrong

00:56:34.500 side of this.

00:56:35.320 Yes, and

00:56:36.360 this was probably

00:56:37.140 a long time

00:56:37.640 coming because

00:56:38.140 of the kind

00:56:38.680 of person

00:56:39.040 that he is

00:56:39.560 and the kind

00:56:39.940 of environment

00:56:40.360 that he's

00:56:40.660 operating in

00:56:41.240 and the kind

00:56:41.640 of environment

00:56:42.060 it has become.

00:56:43.120 But anyway,

00:56:43.600 so he stepped

00:56:44.420 away from

00:56:44.780 presenting

00:56:45.120 MasterChef

00:56:45.880 after denying

00:56:48.100 inappropriate

00:56:48.780 sexual comments

00:56:50.320 in, I think

00:56:51.160 this is in

00:56:51.480 November, let me

00:56:52.060 just check,

00:56:53.140 yeah, October,

00:56:54.000 sorry, in the

00:56:57.100 next one actually,

00:56:57.820 there we go,

00:56:58.160 in November

00:56:59.760 because of

00:57:01.460 allegations of

00:57:02.560 historical

00:57:03.060 misconduct.

00:57:04.360 So the BBC

00:57:05.240 News sent

00:57:05.660 a letter to

00:57:06.120 his representatives

00:57:06.700 letting him know

00:57:07.240 about allegations

00:57:08.340 of inappropriate

00:57:09.680 sexual comments

00:57:10.900 by 13 people

00:57:12.380 who worked with

00:57:12.940 him across a

00:57:13.580 range of shows

00:57:14.180 over a 17

00:57:14.980 year period.

00:57:16.260 Well, this is

00:57:16.980 17 year period

00:57:18.260 and again, you

00:57:18.900 know, he's denied

00:57:19.660 this through his

00:57:20.120 legal team,

00:57:21.200 I've got no

00:57:22.560 opinion on it

00:57:23.020 one way or the

00:57:23.400 other, but he's

00:57:24.280 a 60 year old

00:57:24.980 man.

00:57:25.520 Yeah.

00:57:25.760 Throughout his

00:57:26.300 life, what have

00:57:27.840 been the

00:57:28.780 characters in

00:57:30.340 British films

00:57:31.020 and sitcoms?

00:57:31.800 It's been the

00:57:32.220 carry-ons, it's

00:57:33.260 been Red Dwarf,

00:57:35.880 it's been men 0.93

00:57:36.280 behaving badly,

00:57:37.240 so lads mags in

00:57:38.720 the 90s, so are

00:57:40.520 these not the

00:57:41.020 expectations that

00:57:41.960 were set for him

00:57:42.880 or at least a

00:57:43.320 certain type of

00:57:44.100 man?

00:57:44.660 And then when it

00:57:45.500 switches on a

00:57:46.360 dime with Me Too,

00:57:48.280 they then get

00:57:48.940 sucked into the

00:57:49.620 language policing

00:57:50.280 orbit.

00:57:50.740 Yeah, that's

00:57:51.100 what's happened.

00:57:51.840 And he comes

00:57:52.480 from a culture

00:57:52.940 where people are

00:57:53.880 expected to more

00:57:54.820 aggressively assert

00:57:56.300 their own

00:57:56.680 boundaries, right?

00:57:57.840 And this is

00:57:59.300 just what, especially

00:58:00.420 in sort of working

00:58:01.320 class London

00:58:02.420 culture before it

00:58:03.440 got diversified out

00:58:04.420 of existence, you

00:58:06.080 know, I mean, I

00:58:07.200 found it, like,

00:58:08.620 surprising how

00:58:10.500 firm you would

00:58:11.380 have to be with

00:58:12.300 these people.

00:58:12.580 It's not that they

00:58:12.920 were doing anything

00:58:13.360 wrong, it's just

00:58:14.560 they weren't as

00:58:15.040 respectful of other

00:58:15.780 people's boundaries

00:58:16.420 as you would

00:58:16.900 expect.

00:58:17.640 And honestly, like

00:58:18.520 Greg Wallace making

00:58:19.540 sexualised jokes to

00:58:20.700 women who are 1.00

00:58:21.080 obviously not

00:58:21.380 interested, complete

00:58:22.500 cringe.

00:58:23.520 Complete cringe.

00:58:24.300 I don't endorse it

00:58:25.000 at all, I think

00:58:25.560 it's gross.

00:58:25.980 But, and so I

00:58:27.220 am with him on

00:58:27.700 that, but the

00:58:28.580 question is, are

00:58:29.700 these crimes?

00:58:31.040 Are these things

00:58:31.960 that he needs to

00:58:32.400 have his entire

00:58:32.940 career stripped

00:58:33.560 from?

00:58:33.840 Do we need to

00:58:34.580 drag his name

00:58:35.080 through the mud?

00:58:35.840 Well, I mean,

00:58:36.620 these people do

00:58:37.400 think so, right?

00:58:38.120 So, anyway,

00:58:39.100 apparently Wallace

00:58:39.780 would tell stories

00:58:40.560 and jokes of,

00:58:41.320 quote, asexualised

00:58:42.240 nature in front of

00:58:43.540 contestants and

00:58:44.180 crew.

00:58:44.400 I mean, that's

00:58:48.940 very abstract.

00:58:50.140 Exactly.

00:58:50.940 Do we know what

00:58:51.320 did he say?

00:58:52.040 No, not in every

00:58:54.040 case, anyway.

00:58:55.040 But that's the

00:58:56.300 point.

00:58:56.520 They're trying to

00:58:57.440 abstract away from

00:58:59.380 what he actually

00:59:00.080 said to make it

00:59:00.960 sound like he was

00:59:01.600 essentially saying,

00:59:02.420 I'm going to do

00:59:03.300 something terrible to

00:59:04.040 you, rather than

00:59:04.820 just making a

00:59:05.460 cringe and

00:59:05.860 inappropriate joke.

00:59:07.180 Right?

00:59:07.460 And that's what

00:59:08.100 this seems to be.

00:59:09.740 Right?

00:59:09.840 And, you know,

00:59:12.260 the, which carries

00:59:13.960 on, you know, I

00:59:14.740 think people are

00:59:15.320 uncomfortable, but

00:59:15.920 we were essentially

00:59:16.520 a captive audience.

00:59:17.840 People looked

00:59:18.360 embarrassed and just

00:59:19.140 got on with their

00:59:19.620 work.

00:59:20.200 Yeah, so he was

00:59:20.680 cringe.

00:59:21.700 Right, okay, I

00:59:22.300 agree.

00:59:22.780 I agree that he

00:59:23.380 was cringe.

00:59:24.320 Hang on a minute.

00:59:25.040 So, if it was that

00:59:26.720 outrageous, again,

00:59:28.680 very different to the

00:59:30.000 culture that I grew

00:59:31.200 up with, because

00:59:31.800 actually my

00:59:32.420 grandparents are

00:59:33.580 both from that

00:59:34.260 area.

00:59:34.660 Yeah, I know.

00:59:35.860 Thanks.

00:59:36.880 Well, no, it's

00:59:37.360 fine.

00:59:37.620 Well, that's why I'm

00:59:38.940 glad that you're

00:59:39.400 here.

00:59:39.520 Because you know

00:59:40.340 exactly the kind of

00:59:41.040 culture I'm talking

00:59:41.700 about.

00:59:41.780 Yeah, as a kid, I

00:59:42.500 wasn't used to this.

00:59:43.280 You got wound up

00:59:44.260 something chronic, and

00:59:44.980 it took me a long

00:59:45.780 time to adjust to it,

00:59:47.220 so that's why you

00:59:47.860 grow a slightly

00:59:48.280 thicker skin.

00:59:49.000 But wouldn't you

00:59:49.860 just turn around and

00:59:50.400 say, well, come on,

00:59:51.660 mate, really?

00:59:52.520 Cut it out a bit.

00:59:53.620 Yeah.

00:59:54.020 I mean, you know, you

00:59:55.040 don't have to, but you

00:59:55.920 could, and probably

00:59:56.820 should, frankly.

00:59:57.760 Rather than harbour it

00:59:58.620 for years.

00:59:59.100 Anyway, so let's go

01:00:00.000 through the actual

01:00:00.700 allegations, just because

01:00:01.700 these are just mental,

01:00:02.580 right?

01:00:02.800 So, one person claims

01:00:05.800 that Wallace was

01:00:06.360 openly talking about

01:00:07.060 his sex life, taking 0.51

01:00:07.860 off his top in front

01:00:08.480 of a female worker,

01:00:09.480 saying he wanted to

01:00:10.740 give her a fashion 1.00

01:00:11.460 show, and telling a

01:00:12.820 junior female colleague

01:00:13.860 that he wasn't wearing

01:00:14.760 any box shorts under

01:00:15.560 his jeans.

01:00:16.260 Okay, all of them are

01:00:17.600 gross, and, like,

01:00:19.220 cringe, again, but

01:00:20.680 okay, what now?

01:00:23.360 What do you want us

01:00:24.160 to do about this?

01:00:24.940 Like, what is the demand

01:00:26.640 that comes of this,

01:00:27.680 right?

01:00:28.400 Many accusations span

01:00:29.580 back the last decade.

01:00:31.660 19 years.

01:00:31.760 Yeah, some back as far

01:00:33.460 as 19 years, right?

01:00:37.300 One of the women calls 1.00

01:00:39.620 him, says that he

01:00:41.080 sexually harassed her,

01:00:42.640 quote-unquote, describing

01:00:44.240 him as disgusting and

01:00:45.200 repulsive.

01:00:46.440 Again, it seems to be

01:00:47.200 about making the jokes,

01:00:48.020 and she also called him

01:00:48.760 racist because he

01:00:50.260 impersonated an Indian

01:00:51.460 accent in front of a

01:00:52.620 staff member who was

01:00:53.240 Indian.

01:00:53.460 Sounds like he was

01:00:56.360 just joking around,

01:00:57.080 mate.

01:00:57.400 Yeah.

01:00:58.220 And don't get me wrong,

01:00:59.180 I'm not saying he

01:00:59.700 wasn't cringe.

01:01:00.900 Like, it seems like he

01:01:02.500 was, but, you know.

01:01:04.220 Being cringe is not a

01:01:05.000 crime.

01:01:05.440 Yeah, I mean,

01:01:06.200 presenter Kirstie

01:01:07.080 Allsop says,

01:01:08.340 within one hour of

01:01:09.120 meeting Greg Wallace,

01:01:09.940 he told me of a sex act

01:01:10.960 that he and his partner

01:01:11.720 at the time enjoyed

01:01:12.660 every morning, just

01:01:13.980 after she'd left the

01:01:15.000 room when we were

01:01:15.500 filming a pilot.

01:01:16.940 Did he get off on how

01:01:18.180 embarrassed I was?

01:01:19.180 It was totally

01:01:19.680 unprofessional.

01:01:20.800 That was, like, from

01:01:21.840 2012 or something,

01:01:22.920 that allegation.

01:01:23.460 It's like, yeah, it's

01:01:24.600 unprofessional and

01:01:25.440 embarrassing.

01:01:26.460 Did she also report it

01:01:27.740 internally at the time?

01:01:29.600 So I know some people

01:01:30.940 did.

01:01:31.460 Some people did, but

01:01:32.300 that's not.

01:01:32.940 Which is the BBC's

01:01:33.940 failure to follow up on,

01:01:35.060 but, again, what's the

01:01:36.960 motivation of now coming

01:01:38.320 out of the woodwork to

01:01:39.080 get your five minutes?

01:01:39.760 We'll get to that in a

01:01:40.740 minute.

01:01:41.080 So, actor and author

01:01:42.380 Emma Kennedy complained

01:01:44.240 that she, that he had

01:01:45.980 apparently touched

01:01:47.040 another woman's bottom. 1.00

01:01:48.740 So, the woman he touched

01:01:50.560 hasn't leveled the

01:01:51.280 complaint.

01:01:52.120 She's leveled the

01:01:52.760 complaint.

01:01:53.220 And what she says is,

01:01:54.640 I think he touched her

01:01:56.280 because she did react,

01:01:58.040 but I cannot be 100%

01:01:59.100 certain that he did

01:02:00.260 touch her.

01:02:00.880 Because a female 1.00

01:02:01.640 assistant was bending

01:02:02.280 over and he went core

01:02:03.300 with his hands over her

01:02:04.460 arse.

01:02:04.940 Right, so a carry-on joke.

01:02:06.320 A carry-on joke.

01:02:06.740 Which, again, cringe.

01:02:08.520 Yeah, embarrassing and

01:02:09.580 you definitely should not

01:02:10.480 do, but if the woman 1.00

01:02:13.020 who apparently he

01:02:14.280 touched, even though

01:02:14.840 he's not sure he's

01:02:15.500 touched someone, it is

01:02:17.540 inappropriate, I agree,

01:02:19.500 but, like, do we need

01:02:20.580 to hear about him for a

01:02:21.580 week solid over this?

01:02:22.440 It's an entire

01:02:23.000 non-story.

01:02:24.020 Like, this, yeah,

01:02:24.660 exactly, this is just

01:02:25.380 not really interesting.

01:02:26.420 The BBC did not

01:02:27.240 dedicate the same

01:02:28.260 coverage to the

01:02:29.020 recent grooming gang

01:02:29.820 prosecutions where they

01:02:30.740 got over a hundred years

01:02:32.180 in prison.

01:02:32.640 So many worse things,

01:02:33.140 and yet all we've seen

01:02:34.000 for this week is this.

01:02:35.260 Right, so the Sunday

01:02:35.960 Times reported that the

01:02:37.740 BBC, an executive,

01:02:39.820 told Wallace that his

01:02:41.340 behaviour was unacceptable

01:02:42.400 and cannot continue

01:02:43.120 after complaints were

01:02:43.740 made by the broadcaster

01:02:44.580 Azamir, who appeared

01:02:48.300 on the 12th series of

01:02:50.340 Celebrity MasterChef,

01:02:51.700 and two of the women 0.99

01:02:52.640 who complained about

01:02:53.280 the BBC told staff that

01:02:54.860 he made them feel

01:02:55.780 uncomfortable by talking

01:02:56.960 about his sex life and

01:02:57.660 making disgusting sexual

01:02:58.600 jokes.

01:02:59.320 Yes, gross, I agree,

01:03:01.280 I wouldn't be

01:03:01.820 comfortable either.

01:03:02.960 Now what?

01:03:04.320 Like, don't keep

01:03:06.640 hiring him?

01:03:07.420 I guess, I don't know,

01:03:08.720 but that was, again,

01:03:09.540 back in 2018.

01:03:10.880 In 2022, a letter

01:03:11.900 containing several

01:03:12.700 allegations of

01:03:13.460 inappropriate behaviour

01:03:14.240 by Wallace was said

01:03:15.520 to the BBC, but did not

01:03:16.440 prompt further investigation

01:03:17.440 at the time.

01:03:17.980 They were probably

01:03:18.260 thinking, well,

01:03:19.540 I'm not going to go

01:03:20.340 make jokes about this.

01:03:22.180 And there are a few

01:03:22.980 others who just said

01:03:24.240 that he made highly

01:03:25.000 inappropriate comments

01:03:25.880 about sex, made

01:03:27.200 lesbian jokes, and was 0.97

01:03:29.300 fascinated with her

01:03:30.060 relationships with women.

01:03:31.000 It's like, okay,

01:03:32.460 yeah, he's a really

01:03:33.580 embarrassing uncle,

01:03:34.580 basically.

01:03:35.380 Yeah.

01:03:36.220 That's basically the

01:03:37.260 summary of all this.

01:03:40.760 Anyway, and so

01:03:41.720 Wallace came out and

01:03:42.360 was like, well, yeah,

01:03:43.040 my accusers are a 0.87

01:03:43.820 handful of middle-class

01:03:44.820 women of a certain age.

01:03:46.400 This was a full-on

01:03:47.740 minefield, but he

01:03:48.500 jumped with both feet

01:03:49.280 on.

01:03:52.820 Yes.

01:03:54.260 But this was also an

01:03:55.380 accurate characterisation

01:03:56.340 of who the accusers

01:03:57.000 were, actually.

01:03:57.640 But he says there have

01:04:00.400 been 13 complaints

01:04:01.280 over 17 years, where

01:04:02.840 he's had 4,000

01:04:03.680 contestants, and none

01:04:06.360 of them seem to

01:04:07.040 actually be saying he

01:04:09.140 did anything physical

01:04:10.300 to touch them or harm

01:04:12.400 them or something like

01:04:13.300 that.

01:04:13.880 Basically, he's got bad

01:04:15.460 vibes, and he makes

01:04:18.620 them feel uncomfortable.

01:04:19.640 They don't like the

01:04:20.440 cut of his jib.

01:04:21.280 Yeah, they don't.

01:04:22.240 He gives them the

01:04:23.020 ick because he isn't

01:04:24.200 funny.

01:04:24.800 Yeah, and he's not

01:04:25.520 like, you know, sexy or

01:04:26.900 something.

01:04:27.600 So it's just like, they

01:04:28.540 don't want him coming

01:04:29.420 on to them, basically.

01:04:31.020 And it's like, yeah,

01:04:31.660 that's great.

01:04:32.380 But it didn't even sound

01:04:32.980 like he was actually

01:04:33.500 coming on to them.

01:04:34.280 Those weren't the

01:04:34.880 allegations.

01:04:35.480 It was just that he

01:04:35.900 was actually making

01:04:36.820 jokes about his wife.

01:04:38.600 Yeah.

01:04:39.620 Anyway, they cancelled

01:04:41.060 his Christmas special

01:04:42.020 over this, and one of

01:04:43.000 his co-stars has

01:04:43.660 gutted about it.

01:04:44.380 But I think this is

01:04:45.980 really what he was

01:04:46.820 all building towards.

01:04:48.520 It's like, look, he

01:04:49.420 is an influential man

01:04:50.840 who we don't like

01:04:51.760 because he gives us

01:04:52.200 the ick.

01:04:53.100 Let's get rid of him.

01:04:54.280 And it seems to be a

01:04:55.160 kind of midway

01:04:56.900 middle-aged feminist 0.97

01:04:57.760 conspiracy against him

01:04:59.220 to say that he made us

01:05:00.480 feel gross.

01:05:01.720 It's like, yeah, okay.

01:05:03.820 You are right in that

01:05:04.980 it's bourgeois because

01:05:05.920 they are not concerned

01:05:07.420 about any actual

01:05:09.140 issues of material

01:05:10.500 scarcity or survival.

01:05:12.360 It's just appropriateness.

01:05:14.080 You work for the BBC.

01:05:16.500 You work for an

01:05:17.860 institutionally non-C

01:05:19.480 organisation.

01:05:21.000 And you're like, yeah,

01:05:21.660 but this working class

01:05:22.380 guy made a joke about

01:05:23.420 like sex.

01:05:24.580 It's like, okay, yeah,

01:05:25.180 but he made a joke

01:05:25.720 about sex with adult

01:05:26.400 women. 0.81

01:05:27.000 You literally work or

01:05:28.420 have worked with or

01:05:29.800 are in the same

01:05:30.740 institution as literal

01:05:32.160 pedophiles.

01:05:33.700 So just saying,

01:05:34.900 sorry, he's giving you

01:05:35.840 the ick.

01:05:37.440 Anyway, moving on.

01:05:39.140 Melanie Sykes was like,

01:05:40.520 I had a jaw-dropping

01:05:41.600 encounter with Greg

01:05:42.420 Wallace.

01:05:43.120 Made me quit TV

01:05:44.140 entirely.

01:05:44.620 He's like, God, what

01:05:45.100 did he do?

01:05:45.780 What did he say?

01:05:46.780 No, no, take a guess.

01:05:47.980 Take a guess of what he

01:05:48.880 did.

01:05:49.540 Can you scroll down?

01:05:50.580 No, I want you to

01:05:51.340 guess.

01:05:52.040 But what's Melanie

01:05:52.800 Sykes look like? 1.00

01:05:54.020 He called her a frisky 0.94

01:05:55.420 lass.

01:05:56.080 He's a former model, 0.79

01:05:57.420 right?

01:05:57.720 Right, okay.

01:05:58.240 Called her a frisky 0.56

01:06:00.200 lass?

01:06:00.960 Yeah.

01:06:01.140 What do you reckon?

01:06:01.980 How bad was this jaw-dropping?

01:06:03.140 Did he make a racist

01:06:03.880 joke?

01:06:04.400 Is she a lady? 1.00

01:06:05.020 Okay, okay, let's

01:06:05.940 find out.

01:06:08.320 Wallace asked her as

01:06:09.620 she walked onto the

01:06:10.400 set, quote, whether

01:06:11.260 models eat.

01:06:13.640 Because models are

01:06:14.440 very skinny.

01:06:16.260 Greg Wallace is not

01:06:17.020 very skinny.

01:06:17.880 And so he's like,

01:06:18.400 whoa, do models even

01:06:19.820 eat?

01:06:20.200 And she's like, oh,

01:06:21.500 jaw-dropping.

01:06:22.240 It made me decide to

01:06:23.440 quit the TV industry

01:06:24.440 once and for all.

01:06:25.440 Good.

01:06:25.740 How will she recover?

01:06:27.100 This is pathetic.

01:06:28.960 This is absolutely

01:06:29.740 pathetic.

01:06:30.220 Now, possibly the

01:06:31.980 worst one is this

01:06:33.500 one, right?

01:06:34.160 So one MasterChef

01:06:36.160 contestant accused

01:06:37.720 Greg Wallace of

01:06:38.440 thrusting his groin 0.95

01:06:39.460 in her face three

01:06:40.140 times as she crouched

01:06:40.900 in front of an

01:06:41.360 oven.

01:06:43.140 This person from

01:06:44.640 2009 said that he

01:06:47.500 carried up the

01:06:48.100 disturbing act while

01:06:48.880 making a sick joke

01:06:49.940 about her father's

01:06:50.800 meat.

01:06:51.380 So, hang on a

01:06:52.020 minute, hang on

01:06:52.460 a minute.

01:06:53.520 Edited out of the

01:06:54.160 show implies there

01:06:54.920 is footage.

01:06:55.800 The BBC retain all

01:06:56.800 their footage in

01:06:57.340 archives.

01:06:57.620 They do get the

01:06:58.100 footage.

01:06:58.600 That's it.

01:06:59.080 So he's denied this

01:07:00.520 with his lawyers.

01:07:01.820 Yeah.

01:07:02.500 So shouldn't this be

01:07:03.880 easy to either prove

01:07:04.880 or disprove?

01:07:05.620 You'd think so.

01:07:07.300 Again, it's all very

01:07:08.340 recent.

01:07:08.800 This is very breaking

01:07:10.140 news.

01:07:10.800 It's overcompensation.

01:07:12.340 Yeah.

01:07:12.720 Could he have sent a

01:07:13.640 legal request to the

01:07:14.700 BBC to procure the

01:07:15.760 footage?

01:07:16.660 I'm sure his lawyers

01:07:17.800 could.

01:07:19.560 So why is anyone

01:07:20.800 reporting on this?

01:07:21.760 I don't know.

01:07:22.360 Because this is a

01:07:23.160 smear job.

01:07:23.740 This is about trying

01:07:25.140 to tear down an

01:07:26.880 icon of masculinity

01:07:28.200 even though I use

01:07:29.820 that in inverted

01:07:30.600 commas.

01:07:31.120 I don't consider him

01:07:31.800 an icon of masculinity.

01:07:33.380 Like I said, I

01:07:34.120 consider him really

01:07:34.700 embarrassing.

01:07:35.660 And I agree that

01:07:36.560 with these women,

01:07:37.420 he's embarrassing,

01:07:38.040 don't work with

01:07:38.560 them.

01:07:38.780 But he's an avatar

01:07:39.400 of the bloke-ish

01:07:40.300 order.

01:07:40.980 Exactly.

01:07:41.680 He's one of the

01:07:42.460 working class men

01:07:43.140 behaving badly and

01:07:43.880 we need to stamp

01:07:44.740 that down.

01:07:45.860 There are some more

01:07:47.620 allegations which I

01:07:49.040 take with less

01:07:50.100 seriousness because we

01:07:51.800 are given women 0.95

01:07:52.760 without their real

01:07:53.680 names.

01:07:54.640 So it's like the

01:07:55.120 Russell Brand thing.

01:07:56.220 Yeah.

01:07:57.120 I think a core

01:07:58.280 component of justice

01:07:58.960 is being able to

01:07:59.580 face your accuser.

01:08:00.660 Yes.

01:08:00.960 And if someone's

01:08:01.400 making an accusation

01:08:02.240 behind a pseudonym,

01:08:04.600 I don't really take

01:08:05.460 that very seriously

01:08:06.060 then.

01:08:06.480 You've got to put

01:08:06.900 your name to the

01:08:07.380 allegation because

01:08:08.120 it's a serious

01:08:08.600 thing.

01:08:09.300 Lisa, not her real

01:08:10.480 name, worked for

01:08:11.920 the BBC's show

01:08:13.220 Just Eat Well

01:08:14.400 for Less or

01:08:14.920 something in 2015

01:08:16.320 and apparently he

01:08:17.140 touched her

01:08:17.540 inappropriately when

01:08:18.300 they were filming

01:08:18.660 in a supermarket.

01:08:19.660 He brushed past

01:08:20.340 me in the checkout

01:08:21.080 and touched my

01:08:22.160 bum with his

01:08:22.680 waist and penis 0.97

01:08:23.420 and laughed,

01:08:24.020 ooh, you liked

01:08:24.460 that, didn't you?

01:08:25.680 It was the way

01:08:27.240 he reacted.

01:08:27.860 Other people would

01:08:28.360 have said, oh,

01:08:28.940 I'm sorry, can I

01:08:29.520 squeeze by?

01:08:31.180 Again, very much

01:08:31.900 class distinction

01:08:32.680 here.

01:08:33.140 But also, okay,

01:08:33.900 two things there.

01:08:35.620 You're describing

01:08:36.360 and again, if this

01:08:38.620 is true, yeah,

01:08:39.920 damning, I've not

01:08:40.580 got any actual

01:08:41.100 evidence of this

01:08:41.760 yet, but fine.

01:08:43.280 You're describing

01:08:43.840 a sequence of

01:08:44.740 disconnected events.

01:08:46.420 It could have

01:08:46.980 just been that he

01:08:49.440 brushed past you and

01:08:50.620 then made a joke

01:08:51.320 about brushing past

01:08:52.160 you.

01:08:52.580 It's not that he

01:08:53.240 deliberately tried to

01:08:54.080 make him grinding up

01:08:55.160 against you.

01:08:55.520 Yeah, no, that's

01:08:55.900 what she's accusing.

01:08:56.780 She's not saying

01:08:57.420 that he grabbed her

01:08:58.140 hips and ground 0.93

01:08:58.740 against her or

01:08:59.180 anything like that.

01:09:00.020 What he's saying

01:09:00.760 is, you know when

01:09:02.080 you're on a train

01:09:02.600 and you have to

01:09:03.000 brush past someone

01:09:03.680 and you're

01:09:05.020 uncomfortably close to

01:09:05.900 them.

01:09:06.640 But the differences

01:09:08.180 in culture, in

01:09:09.120 bourgeois, middle

01:09:10.180 class, new man

01:09:11.380 culture, you have

01:09:12.340 to be very

01:09:12.680 apologetic.

01:09:13.460 Sorry, sorry.

01:09:14.260 But in working

01:09:15.180 class, sort of

01:09:16.060 Peckham, wide

01:09:16.920 boy culture, you

01:09:18.440 make an excessive

01:09:19.880 joke about anything

01:09:20.900 that happens.

01:09:21.900 And this, honestly,

01:09:22.660 is why I've never

01:09:23.260 really wanted to

01:09:24.100 date a London

01:09:24.660 woman.

01:09:25.740 And I'm not even

01:09:26.700 trying to throw

01:09:27.500 shade, but like,

01:09:29.120 again, it's just

01:09:30.140 very loud culture

01:09:31.380 that comes at you

01:09:32.080 and it's not for

01:09:32.660 me.

01:09:33.360 And like, I'm not

01:09:35.840 saying London women 0.75

01:09:36.380 are unattractive or

01:09:37.000 anything like that.

01:09:38.500 There's a kind of

01:09:39.460 effervescence to it

01:09:40.340 that's just...

01:09:40.880 I can hear my

01:09:41.340 ex-girlfriend's

01:09:41.920 voice in my ear

01:09:42.560 right now.

01:09:43.260 And that's the

01:09:44.000 sort of thing they

01:09:44.760 do to cover up

01:09:46.100 when they're feeling

01:09:46.920 embarrassed, right?

01:09:48.280 When there's some

01:09:49.080 social inappropriateness

01:09:50.460 or interaction that

01:09:51.120 no one's really

01:09:51.660 happy with, they

01:09:52.860 make it more so

01:09:54.780 you can laugh at it

01:09:55.480 and move on.

01:09:55.940 Trying to fuse

01:09:56.400 attention.

01:09:56.900 Exactly, to

01:09:57.380 diffuse attention.

01:09:58.220 That's what he's,

01:09:59.080 I think, obviously

01:09:59.940 trying to do there.

01:10:00.760 And, but she is 1.00

01:10:02.360 a middle-class woman. 0.98

01:10:03.280 It's just like, oh

01:10:04.260 my God, it's worse,

01:10:06.400 you know, than you

01:10:07.000 could.

01:10:07.340 And so she's like, I

01:10:08.100 felt slimy.

01:10:08.880 It's like, yeah, okay,

01:10:09.520 I agree.

01:10:10.040 I can understand why.

01:10:11.240 But like, I don't

01:10:12.760 think it's what you

01:10:13.280 mean.

01:10:13.620 It wasn't predatory.

01:10:14.360 It was just cringe.

01:10:15.100 Yeah, it was, it

01:10:15.800 exactly.

01:10:16.400 It wasn't predatory.

01:10:17.180 It seems it was just

01:10:17.920 cringe.

01:10:18.600 So basically we have

01:10:19.480 someone who was

01:10:20.540 working for the BBC.

01:10:22.020 Yes.

01:10:23.020 For a long time and

01:10:24.400 made some inappropriate

01:10:25.600 jokes.

01:10:26.140 Anyone who works for the 0.93

01:10:26.960 BBC could be called

01:10:27.620 pedophile adjacent, I

01:10:28.540 think.

01:10:28.760 Okay, and most of

01:10:31.100 them are just

01:10:31.820 accusations that haven't

01:10:34.060 been proven or

01:10:34.720 something.

01:10:35.360 Yeah, no, yeah.

01:10:36.060 So I think, I think

01:10:37.740 it's overcompensation.

01:10:39.800 The BBC, most

01:10:41.340 probably they want to

01:10:42.520 just seem that they're

01:10:44.080 cracking really hard

01:10:45.160 on it.

01:10:45.800 Sanitize their image.

01:10:46.600 Yeah.

01:10:46.700 So they say, for

01:10:47.640 instance, you're, you're

01:10:48.660 never gonna, saying I

01:10:50.780 touch myself in an

01:10:51.740 elevator by the

01:10:52.920 divinals.

01:10:53.900 Because it's gonna be

01:10:54.380 cringy.

01:10:54.700 Can we go on?

01:10:55.420 Because some of these

01:10:55.920 are just even, even

01:10:56.720 more stupid.

01:10:57.740 So Anna worked on,

01:10:59.440 not her real name,

01:11:00.300 again, worked on

01:11:01.240 MasterChef in 2015

01:11:02.100 and she was called to

01:11:04.500 his dressing room and

01:11:06.580 he wasn't properly

01:11:07.700 dressed and she could

01:11:08.460 see like his pubic

01:11:09.540 hair and part of, the

01:11:12.400 top part of his thing

01:11:13.600 and she was like, oh,

01:11:16.340 he stared at me and I

01:11:17.340 felt embarrassed and I

01:11:18.020 left.

01:11:18.440 I was like, okay.

01:11:19.760 So did, so then the

01:11:21.320 question would be, did

01:11:22.180 you just walk in on him

01:11:23.040 at an inopportune time?

01:11:24.520 Yeah.

01:11:25.060 Or.

01:11:25.640 I don't know.

01:11:26.220 Was it arranged?

01:11:27.520 Yeah, but.

01:11:27.940 Yeah.

01:11:28.320 And no more details are

01:11:29.160 provided.

01:11:29.660 Well, they say, quote,

01:11:31.500 she was called in, but

01:11:32.980 it doesn't say by him.

01:11:35.480 Yeah.

01:11:36.020 Could have been the

01:11:36.580 producer.

01:11:37.040 No, go and get Greg

01:11:37.900 ready or something like

01:11:38.600 that.

01:11:38.780 You know, I don't know.

01:11:39.500 Yeah, we need more

01:11:39.920 details.

01:11:40.420 We don't know.

01:11:41.680 But she felt embarrassed,

01:11:43.020 which, yeah, it seems

01:11:43.920 embarrassing.

01:11:44.980 And then there's a

01:11:45.840 woman called Sarah, not

01:11:46.920 her real name, says that

01:11:49.180 Wallace asked her to

01:11:50.920 take him to the car

01:11:51.540 park.

01:11:51.760 And as we walked down,

01:11:52.740 he put his arm around

01:11:53.640 me and said, go on,

01:11:54.380 hold my hand.

01:11:55.280 Don't you want to

01:11:55.960 stand next to me?

01:11:56.800 It was totally out of

01:11:57.520 the blue and totally

01:11:58.040 unwanted.

01:11:58.780 Yeah.

01:11:58.920 Okay.

01:11:59.100 But that's not him doing

01:12:00.500 anything other than

01:12:01.200 making an attempt at a

01:12:02.240 woman and her going, 1.00

01:12:03.360 no, I'm not interested.

01:12:04.100 Thank you.

01:12:05.480 Yeah.

01:12:06.160 Like it's, it's cringe.

01:12:07.440 What are you doing,

01:12:08.000 Greg?

01:12:08.300 But like, anyway, uh, he,

01:12:10.000 he left one woman crying,

01:12:11.740 um, because he quote made

01:12:13.900 innuendos constantly during

01:12:15.160 filming, uh, and made

01:12:17.540 inappropriate, sexually

01:12:18.440 inappropriate comments

01:12:19.200 and left her in tears.

01:12:19.860 Like, yeah, okay.

01:12:21.140 I don't like, she said

01:12:23.020 there's no way other

01:12:23.580 people do not hear it.

01:12:24.500 Wallace's innuendos

01:12:25.200 constantly throughout

01:12:25.780 filming and that it was

01:12:27.320 put down to lad culture 0.99

01:12:28.380 and banter.

01:12:29.040 It's just banter.

01:12:29.900 If it's just banter and

01:12:30.840 fun, then why am I crying

01:12:31.780 in the toilet?

01:12:32.400 It's like,

01:12:32.560 I agree.

01:12:42.600 I, I'm not really a big

01:12:43.500 fan of that kind of

01:12:44.300 sexualized banter culture 0.99

01:12:45.900 either.

01:12:46.620 I do find it cringe and I

01:12:48.020 can totally see why you

01:12:48.900 wouldn't want to be a part

01:12:49.680 of it.

01:12:50.220 And it would be nice if

01:12:51.060 those sort of people would

01:12:51.900 knock it off. 0.61

01:12:52.800 But again, this has been

01:12:53.560 the main headline all week.

01:12:55.280 But also the sentence,

01:12:56.740 if, if they're having fun,

01:12:58.080 then why am I crying?

01:12:59.120 It's just,

01:12:59.760 yeah, basically.

01:13:00.980 There was a complaint from

01:13:01.800 Nestle, uh, because there

01:13:03.180 was a memo shared on the

01:13:04.340 company intranet that said

01:13:05.240 the experience of some of the

01:13:06.580 team taking part in the

01:13:07.320 film had not been a pleasant

01:13:08.100 one.

01:13:08.820 Uh, compromise Nestle's

01:13:10.260 values.

01:13:11.140 Anyway, so he apologizes for

01:13:12.480 the middle class comment, uh,

01:13:13.720 women comment.

01:13:14.240 Uh, he said, look, uh, I

01:13:15.820 apologize for any offense I

01:13:16.760 caused with the post yesterday.

01:13:18.300 Uh, any upset I may have

01:13:19.380 caused a lot of people.

01:13:20.080 I wasn't in a good head

01:13:20.780 space when I posted it, but

01:13:22.060 under a huge amount of

01:13:22.740 stress, a lot of emotion.

01:13:23.660 And you can see why after

01:13:24.400 three or four days of

01:13:25.300 nonstop, by the way, uh,

01:13:27.020 we're not going to say that

01:13:27.800 Greg Wallace is a rapist,

01:13:28.700 but we are going to imply

01:13:29.680 Greg Wallace is a rapist,

01:13:30.760 even though there's no

01:13:31.760 actual allegations of any

01:13:32.820 real physical wrongdoing.

01:13:34.840 It's all just, we don't

01:13:35.840 like his personality.

01:13:36.700 It's like, yeah, okay,

01:13:37.540 maybe you don't.

01:13:38.420 I'm sure lots of middle

01:13:39.380 class women don't. 1.00

01:13:40.180 Um, but he said, I felt

01:13:42.000 very alone under siege

01:13:42.860 yesterday when I posted it

01:13:43.880 and says, it's obvious to

01:13:45.360 me I need to take some

01:13:46.020 time out while this

01:13:46.680 investigation is underway.

01:13:47.740 I hope you understand.

01:13:48.700 I do hope you'll accept

01:13:49.480 this apology, but it seems

01:13:51.060 like an unreserved apology.

01:13:52.500 Yeah.

01:13:53.120 So they won't accept it.

01:13:54.240 Of course not.

01:13:54.760 The first thing, uh, one of

01:13:56.840 his accusers said, uh, he

01:13:58.260 certainly hasn't learned his

01:13:59.360 lesson and seems to be

01:14:00.740 saying he's the victim of

01:14:01.620 classism.

01:14:02.540 Well, honestly, I think it

01:14:03.540 might be the victim of

01:14:04.700 classism actually.

01:14:05.880 Um, but I don't know what

01:14:07.400 else he needs to do to

01:14:08.520 apologize then because that

01:14:09.560 seemed to be an unreserved

01:14:10.420 apology and, uh, okay, I

01:14:13.560 mean, whatever.

01:14:14.960 Um, Ulrika Johnson, uh, said

01:14:17.620 that, uh, he made a rape joke 0.70

01:14:19.360 during her time on Celebrity

01:14:20.760 Masterchef and told the

01:14:22.220 Daily Telegraph that she

01:14:23.320 felt Wallace's response

01:14:24.240 showed the arrogance of a

01:14:25.600 man who has zero

01:14:26.640 introspection or self

01:14:27.580 awareness.

01:14:28.260 Is the joke detailed in

01:14:29.400 the article?

01:14:29.960 No.

01:14:30.460 Oh.

01:14:31.180 So I'm just going to take

01:14:32.020 their word for it because I

01:14:32.960 don't think any of them

01:14:33.680 would be misrepresenting any

01:14:34.600 of this.

01:14:34.900 Uh, when he made a

01:14:36.220 reference to women of

01:14:37.020 a certain age, I was just

01:14:37.880 seething, just, I was

01:14:39.060 absolutely wild.

01:14:40.080 It's like, it's because you

01:14:40.760 resembled that

01:14:41.460 characterization, wasn't it?

01:14:43.240 Uh, that's the thing.

01:14:44.420 Uh, and then finally his

01:14:45.520 ghostwriter has alleged

01:14:46.340 sexual harassment.

01:14:47.580 Um, Shannon Kyle.

01:14:49.900 In what sense?

01:14:50.760 In, in, well, uh, he,

01:14:53.480 uh, apparently once

01:14:54.700 answered the door wearing a

01:14:55.720 towel, which he later

01:14:56.720 dropped, uh, made

01:14:58.020 revolting and sickening

01:14:58.900 sexualized suggestions to 0.95

01:14:59.980 her and touched her

01:15:00.600 inappropriately.

01:15:01.480 He once touched her on

01:15:02.180 the thigh, um, when she

01:15:04.120 was sitting in the

01:15:04.560 passenger seat of his

01:15:05.340 sports car and, and

01:15:07.340 felt her bottom after he

01:15:08.540 appeared on the good food

01:15:09.400 show in Birmingham.

01:15:09.980 And she described it as, so

01:15:11.860 this is the worst

01:15:12.740 allegation.

01:15:13.560 Yeah, if any of those

01:15:14.360 things are true, they're

01:15:15.260 grim.

01:15:16.180 But, yeah.

01:15:17.200 Why, why, why weren't they

01:15:18.260 also reported to the

01:15:19.880 authorities at the time?

01:15:20.760 Yeah, that's a great

01:15:21.480 question.

01:15:21.840 Um, because she was

01:15:22.760 working for him, remember?

01:15:24.080 And so this was in 2012.

01:15:25.680 And she, uh, she 1.00

01:15:27.240 described them, uh, his,

01:15:28.660 his sexual innuendos as

01:15:30.160 word grenades, uh, that he

01:15:32.520 would, he would put out to

01:15:33.220 get a response from her.

01:15:34.060 It's like, yeah, I think he

01:15:34.740 was hitting on you.

01:15:35.720 And you should have told

01:15:36.380 him that you're not

01:15:37.000 interested.

01:15:37.980 You should have been

01:15:38.540 more proactive with your

01:15:39.860 own boundaries, is what

01:15:40.780 people are saying.

01:15:41.460 But, yeah, again, if, if

01:15:42.480 any of those things are

01:15:43.240 true, you really should

01:15:45.200 have raised them at the

01:15:45.880 time.

01:15:46.520 And you should have

01:15:47.520 gone to the police.

01:15:48.220 So if he, like, actually

01:15:49.760 did grope you, absolutely.

01:15:52.220 Um, but anyway, um,

01:15:54.160 obviously his co-hosts

01:15:55.380 were like, yeah, well,

01:15:57.700 we, we pointed out that

01:15:59.420 his boisterous behavior was

01:16:01.740 not something that everyone

01:16:03.140 liked.

01:16:03.900 Um, but, uh, the BBC

01:16:05.440 didn't do anything about it

01:16:06.920 and there was nothing

01:16:07.360 that we could do.

01:16:08.200 And so basically this is

01:16:09.500 what it seems to come

01:16:10.060 down to.

01:16:10.600 A bunch of the kind of,

01:16:11.480 um, culturally distinct,

01:16:14.360 uh, classes in this

01:16:16.100 country have been

01:16:17.060 interacting and they

01:16:18.520 don't like each other.

01:16:20.560 That's what I think this

01:16:21.340 has come down to.

01:16:21.940 I don't think he's, like,

01:16:22.900 done anything very bad,

01:16:24.760 at least from the

01:16:25.520 allegations.

01:16:26.640 I don't know.

01:16:27.420 I don't know anything

01:16:27.960 about Greg Wallace or

01:16:28.920 anything.

01:16:29.260 Like I said, I've never

01:16:29.900 watched anything that

01:16:30.800 he's been in.

01:16:31.240 Um, but it seems that

01:16:32.680 there's a certain level

01:16:33.760 of viciousness here

01:16:35.160 that's being, um,

01:16:38.300 that's being latched onto

01:16:39.680 by middle-class women 1.00

01:16:41.820 of a certain age.

01:16:43.100 Um, and I think that's

01:16:44.560 most well shown by the

01:16:45.940 Melanie Sykes one.

01:16:47.460 Like, the models even

01:16:48.820 eat.

01:16:49.440 Well, I, I think the

01:16:50.500 viciousness is shown by

01:16:51.700 the fact that this has

01:16:52.500 been, if you're in the

01:16:53.460 UK, the leading news

01:16:55.500 story for over a week

01:16:56.540 and I'm so tired of

01:16:57.440 it, when we have

01:16:57.960 actual, like, child

01:17:00.060 grooming gangs still

01:17:01.300 operating in this

01:17:01.860 country.

01:17:01.980 I spent all morning,

01:17:02.840 like, figuring out what

01:17:03.760 the hell I'm being

01:17:04.620 bombarded with Greg

01:17:06.100 Wallace for.

01:17:07.060 Because, like, it's

01:17:08.120 just, he said something

01:17:09.160 I didn't like, and

01:17:09.800 okay, where's the crime?

01:17:11.400 What's the crime?

01:17:12.980 And there are things

01:17:14.840 that may be crimes,

01:17:16.440 but they're often...

01:17:17.260 Weren't reported as

01:17:17.780 crimes?

01:17:18.220 They, they weren't

01:17:18.960 reported at the time as

01:17:19.780 crimes, and often

01:17:20.900 they're coming from

01:17:21.760 people who are

01:17:22.520 anonymous, and it's

01:17:23.220 like, okay, but,

01:17:24.180 like, what are you

01:17:24.880 actually, what do you

01:17:25.720 want me to do with

01:17:26.520 this information?

01:17:27.700 And the answer just

01:17:28.340 seems to be, just

01:17:28.900 dislike Greg Wallace.

01:17:30.060 Just dislike him.

01:17:30.880 That's what we want.

01:17:31.780 We want him to be

01:17:32.380 booed and shunned,

01:17:33.440 and it's like, okay,

01:17:34.120 but I really hate this

01:17:35.420 kind of gross character

01:17:36.940 assassination form of

01:17:38.920 dealing with problems.

01:17:40.660 I'd rather deal with

01:17:41.380 problems openly.

01:17:42.440 You know, this is just

01:17:43.180 a very, very gross

01:17:44.320 insidious way of doing

01:17:45.340 it, and I think it's,

01:17:46.200 I don't, I don't like

01:17:46.880 it at all.

01:17:48.220 But I'm not saying I

01:17:49.460 like Greg Wallace

01:17:50.000 either.

01:17:50.260 I think the way Greg

01:17:51.180 Wallace behaves is

01:17:51.740 just embarrassing.

01:17:52.660 It is totally

01:17:53.280 embarrassing.

01:17:54.260 Greg, knock it off.

01:17:55.500 Obviously.

01:17:55.860 But anyway,

01:17:57.680 we'll be back there.

01:17:58.460 On to the video

01:17:58.980 comments.

01:17:59.680 Well, we've got a

01:18:00.280 couple of comments

01:18:00.720 first.

01:18:01.060 Yep.

01:18:03.740 Not recently,

01:18:04.420 Constantine,

01:18:05.440 Kissen,

01:18:05.880 Lade,

01:18:06.280 Elf.

01:18:06.600 Why?

01:18:08.380 Okay.

01:18:10.320 Sorry, yeah.

01:18:13.320 Binary says,

01:18:14.060 I have a contact

01:18:14.540 inside baseball

01:18:16.260 regarding the BBC.

01:18:17.180 For many years,

01:18:18.040 big HR cases made

01:18:19.200 the news sure,

01:18:20.100 but there's almost

01:18:20.480 one a week that

01:18:20.960 didn't, all involving

01:18:22.060 sexual perversion 0.57

01:18:22.880 slash non-sory.

01:18:23.980 Yeah, nothing like

01:18:24.900 that has been accused.

01:18:27.180 Nothing like that

01:18:27.940 has been accused.

01:18:29.240 Ramshackloth says,

01:18:30.000 I worked back in a

01:18:31.160 backstreet in Chatham

01:18:31.880 garage for years.

01:18:32.980 Some women love 1.00

01:18:33.780 Greg Wallace types

01:18:34.600 and are often worse.

01:18:35.760 Yes, they do.

01:18:37.520 Women like myself 0.95

01:18:38.280 learn quickly to

01:18:38.880 rebuff and close it

01:18:39.560 down, i.e. being a

01:18:40.380 grown-up.

01:18:40.900 Exactly.

01:18:41.700 Exactly.

01:18:42.640 And there are

01:18:45.080 definitely women who 1.00

01:18:45.740 like that kind of

01:18:46.500 banter and there are

01:18:48.320 definitely middle-class

01:18:49.020 women of a certain age 0.66

01:18:49.720 who don't.

01:18:50.280 Catherine Tate's

01:18:50.920 characters, for

01:18:51.400 example.

01:18:51.940 Yeah.

01:18:52.720 Yeah.

01:18:53.060 I never liked those

01:18:54.740 sort of characters.

01:18:55.840 But I'm...

01:18:56.580 She was endearing in

01:18:57.320 Doctor Who.

01:18:57.920 Sure, and I'm not

01:18:58.580 saying that people

01:18:59.200 aren't entitled to

01:19:00.040 like them.

01:19:00.540 Yes.

01:19:00.820 I'm saying it's not

01:19:01.360 for me.

01:19:02.340 Dogworth says,

01:19:03.180 you mentioned Emma

01:19:04.420 Kennedy, please

01:19:05.060 remember she's a

01:19:05.680 hard left tuppence

01:19:06.660 licker.

01:19:07.160 I don't know what

01:19:07.660 that...

01:19:07.800 I bet they all are

01:19:08.380 to be honest.

01:19:08.860 I don't know what

01:19:09.260 that means.

01:19:09.640 I don't know who

01:19:10.040 she is.

01:19:10.780 Dragon Lady Chris

01:19:11.580 says, when I worked

01:19:12.380 in professional kitchens,

01:19:13.480 I joined the boys in

01:19:14.300 swapping Jimmy Car-like

01:19:15.320 jokes.

01:19:15.660 And Not Just String

01:19:22.320 says, if women are 1.00

01:19:23.140 worried about men

01:19:23.780 making advances on

01:19:24.600 them, then we should

01:19:25.340 ban all sex outside

01:19:26.160 of marriage and make

01:19:26.800 it a capital crime.

01:19:27.880 I'm sure that would

01:19:28.380 fix the problem

01:19:28.900 in birth rates too.

01:19:29.620 Any takers doubt it.

01:19:30.900 Yes, well, precisely.

01:19:32.600 On with video

01:19:33.080 comments.

01:19:35.920 Why Trump won,

01:19:37.460 and more importantly

01:19:38.480 why recently

01:19:39.720 Constantine Kizzen

01:19:40.980 laid out,

01:19:42.420 why Trump won,

01:19:44.040 and more importantly

01:19:45.040 white Democrats

01:19:46.020 lost.

01:19:47.220 And there are

01:19:47.660 points worth noting.

01:19:49.840 One, Americans

01:19:50.880 love their country

01:19:51.960 and want it to be

01:19:53.140 the best.

01:19:54.760 Democrats don't.

01:19:56.760 Americans do not 1.00

01:19:57.860 accept managed

01:19:58.920 decline.

01:19:59.640 Democrats do.

01:20:01.420 Americans believe

01:20:02.200 in meritocracy

01:20:03.520 and reject socialism.

01:20:06.040 Democrats do 0.57

01:20:07.140 the opposite.

01:20:10.160 I think that's good.

01:20:11.560 I think most of the

01:20:14.160 points.

01:20:14.640 Most of those are

01:20:15.340 good.

01:20:15.640 I don't know if

01:20:16.080 Americans necessarily 0.97

01:20:16.940 reject socialism

01:20:18.580 because Trump

01:20:20.540 himself is running.

01:20:21.340 He's talking about

01:20:21.560 the Republicans.

01:20:22.800 Yeah, no, Trump

01:20:23.800 himself is running.

01:20:24.420 Hang on, hang on.

01:20:25.320 Trump himself is

01:20:25.900 running on a left-wing

01:20:27.320 populist economic ticket

01:20:28.420 of where he's not

01:20:28.840 touching social

01:20:29.340 entitlements.

01:20:30.000 So there are levels

01:20:31.400 of social welfare

01:20:32.280 which are beyond the

01:20:32.940 power.

01:20:33.100 He's not a Romney

01:20:33.720 Republican.

01:20:34.160 He's redefined the

01:20:34.740 Republican Party.

01:20:35.460 He's talking about

01:20:36.240 the culture.

01:20:37.220 Generally speaking,

01:20:38.200 the culture is

01:20:39.240 different than

01:20:41.020 it's not socialist

01:20:42.440 as a culture.

01:20:44.080 Economic protection

01:20:44.980 isn't the type of

01:20:46.000 Steve Bannon

01:20:47.160 was talking about

01:20:48.360 isn't necessarily

01:20:49.080 socialist.

01:20:49.560 Yeah, they don't

01:20:50.060 see it as socialist.

01:20:50.800 They see it as

01:20:51.140 nationalist, which is

01:20:52.300 fine.

01:20:53.540 But yeah, no, I

01:20:54.300 actually, I enjoyed

01:20:55.380 that video from

01:20:55.900 Constance.

01:20:56.240 I think it was an

01:20:57.140 accurate assessment.

01:20:59.700 On to the next one.

01:21:00.520 seeing a bunch of

01:21:03.260 discourse recently

01:21:04.460 about how Paddington

01:21:05.900 is basically an

01:21:07.500 allegory about

01:21:08.320 migrants that 0.99

01:21:09.200 kept to support

01:21:10.220 migrants because 1.00

01:21:11.000 you like Paddington

01:21:12.100 because Paddington

01:21:12.760 is just like a

01:21:13.460 migrant, which I

01:21:15.060 don't know much

01:21:15.520 about Paddington

01:21:16.300 because I was

01:21:16.820 raised on Babar,

01:21:17.820 which is about,

01:21:18.380 you know, rule by

01:21:19.100 L.

01:21:20.120 Honestly, Paddington

01:21:21.200 is a really bad

01:21:22.160 comparison because

01:21:23.200 they're effectively

01:21:24.100 saying that migrants 0.98

01:21:25.340 are just like bears,

01:21:26.700 a creature that we

01:21:27.620 know for loitering

01:21:29.160 on your property,

01:21:30.000 eating your

01:21:30.460 pets and mauling

01:21:31.380 you when you

01:21:31.780 look at them

01:21:32.240 wrong.

01:21:33.480 So the thing

01:21:34.440 about Paddington

01:21:35.040 Bear is he

01:21:35.560 always had a

01:21:36.220 very posh and

01:21:37.360 genteel English

01:21:38.160 accent.

01:21:39.080 Supposed to be

01:21:39.720 Peruvian.

01:21:40.820 So he's not,

01:21:41.960 you know, not

01:21:42.840 exactly the

01:21:43.500 average immigrant.

01:21:44.260 Well, an

01:21:44.820 adorable bear is

01:21:45.900 not an accurate

01:21:46.500 representation of

01:21:47.300 rapey Abdul that 0.98

01:21:48.160 I'm paying to

01:21:48.660 house in a hotel.

01:21:49.820 Yes.

01:21:51.080 On to the next

01:21:51.480 one.

01:21:52.980 God rest you

01:21:54.220 merry gentlemen

01:21:55.680 let nothing you

01:21:57.340 dismay.

01:21:59.000 Remember Christ

01:22:00.240 our saviour

01:22:01.600 was born on

01:22:02.680 Christmas day

01:22:03.820 to save us

01:22:05.340 all from

01:22:06.020 Satan's

01:22:06.700 power when

01:22:07.320 we were

01:22:07.980 gone astray.

01:22:09.620 Oh,

01:22:10.220 tidings of

01:22:11.600 comfort and

01:22:13.000 joy,

01:22:13.700 comfort and

01:22:14.360 joy.

01:22:15.160 Oh,

01:22:15.760 tidings of

01:22:17.280 comfort and

01:22:18.880 joy.

01:22:21.020 Adorable.

01:22:21.960 Why do your

01:22:22.420 chairs look like

01:22:22.920 the Elizabeth line?

01:22:24.400 This is a lovely

01:22:25.080 dog.

01:22:25.420 On to the next

01:22:27.440 one.

01:22:30.200 One of the

01:22:30.740 major mistakes

01:22:31.280 that Europeans 0.97

01:22:31.760 make when

01:22:32.180 analyzing the

01:22:32.680 USA is

01:22:33.240 thinking that

01:22:33.640 we are a

01:22:33.960 liberal nation.

01:22:34.900 No, our

01:22:35.360 constitution is

01:22:36.020 liberal, but in

01:22:36.780 a nation of

01:22:37.240 individualists, our

01:22:38.120 founding documents

01:22:38.900 are just

01:22:39.440 government procedure.

01:22:40.380 They do not

01:22:40.740 define our

01:22:41.320 character.

01:22:42.260 Our government

01:22:42.640 is a referee,

01:22:43.540 not the coach.

01:22:44.520 Take, for

01:22:44.800 instance, the

01:22:45.300 liberal First

01:22:45.820 Amendment.

01:22:46.380 It actually

01:22:46.800 only applies to

01:22:47.580 federal Congress.

01:22:48.780 States are free

01:22:49.280 to be as

01:22:49.600 liberal as they

01:22:51.020 like.

01:22:51.460 Most notable

01:22:51.880 to me is the

01:22:52.500 Mormon

01:22:52.680 Extermination

01:22:53.340 Order of

01:22:53.680 1838, which

01:22:54.820 formed militias

01:22:55.460 to remove the

01:22:56.060 Mormons from 0.83

01:22:56.540 the state with

01:22:57.020 force.

01:22:57.720 The modern

01:22:58.140 interpretation of

01:22:58.820 the First

01:22:59.060 Amendment is

01:22:59.800 wrong and

01:23:00.440 fairly recent.

01:23:02.000 Also, the

01:23:02.600 First Amendment

01:23:03.140 didn't want to

01:23:03.820 create a state

01:23:04.440 church because

01:23:04.960 you had

01:23:05.160 disestablishment

01:23:05.960 arianism to

01:23:07.900 disconnect

01:23:08.360 yourself from

01:23:08.780 the monarchy

01:23:09.220 because the

01:23:09.640 monarch is also

01:23:10.180 the head of

01:23:10.520 the Church of

01:23:10.880 England, but

01:23:11.220 lots of states

01:23:11.760 had their

01:23:11.980 own established

01:23:12.400 churches and

01:23:13.100 in every state

01:23:13.580 constitution the

01:23:14.280 Christian God

01:23:14.720 has mentioned.

01:23:15.400 Mormon

01:23:15.680 Extermination

01:23:16.500 Order, though.

01:23:17.420 Glenn Beck

01:23:17.800 Most Effected.

01:23:18.540 Yeah, that's

01:23:19.000 crazy.

01:23:19.320 Hey guys, I

01:23:24.000 don't know if

01:23:24.600 you remember a

01:23:25.380 video game called

01:23:26.400 Super Dapper

01:23:27.400 Man vs. 0.95

01:23:28.560 Furries.

01:23:29.060 It went viral a

01:23:30.240 couple of years

01:23:30.780 ago because you

01:23:31.340 could play as

01:23:31.860 Trump where he's

01:23:32.600 beating up furries.

01:23:33.880 There's a new

01:23:34.480 game now called

01:23:35.280 Skull Stompers

01:23:36.240 where you can play

01:23:36.800 as a whole ton of

01:23:37.500 different guys

01:23:37.980 including Trump,

01:23:39.120 but the poor guy

01:23:40.560 is getting review

01:23:41.480 bombed.

01:23:41.880 He spent a lot of

01:23:42.660 money trying to

01:23:43.180 make this game,

01:23:44.240 so if you could

01:23:45.000 go and review his

01:23:45.740 game, Carl, do

01:23:47.420 play his game on

01:23:48.440 your gaming channel

01:23:49.220 I think that'd

01:23:49.900 really help him.

01:23:52.000 Okay.

01:23:54.740 I feel like I

01:23:55.440 just entered an

01:23:55.960 alternate dimension.

01:23:56.740 Yeah, I know.

01:23:58.380 I've no idea what

01:23:59.560 I'm supposed to

01:23:59.920 make of all that.

01:24:01.060 It's been some

01:24:01.840 time since Carl

01:24:02.520 mentioned doing a

01:24:03.260 deep dive into how

01:24:04.040 the Harry Potter

01:24:04.640 books have a

01:24:05.200 right-wing morality

01:24:05.980 to them, and I

01:24:06.880 really want this to

01:24:07.640 happen.

01:24:08.260 I know that there's

01:24:08.860 more important stuff

01:24:09.560 to do right now

01:24:10.260 and time is limited.

01:24:11.380 It's just something

01:24:11.920 that I was looking

01:24:12.580 forward to seeing.

01:24:13.880 And anyone saying

01:24:14.640 no because it's

01:24:15.520 cringe and left-wingers

01:24:16.560 like it?

01:24:17.600 Exactly.

01:24:18.000 He's kind of

01:24:19.900 like Voldemort.

01:24:26.180 No.

01:24:26.980 No, this cannot

01:24:28.060 work.

01:24:32.360 I love Seamus.

01:24:33.380 Seamus is so good.

01:24:35.320 Yeah, no, I would

01:24:36.200 love to.

01:24:36.560 I'm just really,

01:24:37.440 really busy at the

01:24:38.200 moment.

01:24:38.640 Potential future

01:24:39.300 lads.

01:24:39.520 In like a year.

01:24:40.520 No, no, I'll do

01:24:41.260 like a big thing on

01:24:42.760 it in like a year's

01:24:43.540 time, but it's not

01:24:44.340 for now.

01:24:44.660 We do have more

01:24:46.160 movie stuff coming

01:24:46.920 on Lads Hour as

01:24:47.540 well, so that's

01:24:47.980 going to be good

01:24:48.420 fun.

01:24:49.020 Do we want to do

01:24:49.540 the written comments

01:24:50.040 on the website?

01:24:50.300 Yeah, I'll do.

01:24:54.200 Someone referring

01:24:55.160 to Destiny says,

01:24:56.720 when I have kids,

01:24:57.760 I'll even make sure

01:24:58.360 I give them good

01:24:58.900 Anglo-Saxon names

01:24:59.580 like Edgar, Edward,

01:25:00.620 and Ethel, 0.60

01:25:01.580 neo-traditionalism

01:25:02.280 for the win.

01:25:02.660 I wanted to call

01:25:03.200 my second son

01:25:04.120 Alfred, but my

01:25:04.860 wife wasn't having it. 1.00

01:25:05.740 I've selected mine

01:25:08.140 already, I'm not

01:25:08.980 going to say them,

01:25:09.840 but they are like

01:25:10.720 super traditional

01:25:11.700 because we need to

01:25:13.400 fight back against

01:25:14.360 the rising tide of

01:25:15.100 Muhammad.

01:25:16.040 Justin says,

01:25:16.980 yeah, you know,

01:25:17.380 and I wanted to

01:25:18.840 call my youngest

01:25:19.540 girl Ethel as

01:25:20.380 well, but she 1.00

01:25:21.160 wasn't having that

01:25:21.700 either.

01:25:22.660 She doesn't like

01:25:23.720 the Anglo-Saxon

01:25:24.380 names, I'm like,

01:25:25.100 oh, but they're so

01:25:25.640 good.

01:25:26.860 Like, you know,

01:25:27.520 they sound barbaric.

01:25:29.000 They sound like

01:25:29.840 something from

01:25:30.640 prehistory, because

01:25:31.840 they are, actually.

01:25:33.180 Justin says,

01:25:33.720 when it comes to

01:25:34.120 falling fertility,

01:25:35.040 I just read the

01:25:36.160 report on

01:25:36.580 Bavere, the

01:25:38.180 additive they're

01:25:38.820 starting to give

01:25:39.180 cows to cut the

01:25:40.040 methane out, but

01:25:40.680 they suggest there

01:25:41.500 is a very negative

01:25:42.120 correlation with

01:25:42.960 male fertility,

01:25:44.140 literally shrinking

01:25:45.240 of the testes at

01:25:45.880 higher doses.

01:25:46.440 I saw the same

01:25:46.980 thing with ovaries 1.00

01:25:47.700 as well,

01:25:48.060 apparently.

01:25:48.320 Yeah, so this

01:25:50.240 has just now been

01:25:51.960 signed up to be

01:25:53.620 added to after

01:25:55.620 Bill Gates met

01:25:56.400 with Keir Starmer,

01:25:57.680 because he owns

01:25:58.540 Arla, you know,

01:25:59.180 the milk brand.

01:26:00.240 So now Rupert Lowe,

01:26:01.080 again, absolute hero,

01:26:01.960 has said, I will be

01:26:02.980 personally lobbying to

01:26:03.980 prevent this.

01:26:04.620 Yeah.

01:26:05.040 And I saw a bunch

01:26:06.340 of companies like

01:26:07.680 Cathedral Cheese,

01:26:08.880 we don't use this,

01:26:10.940 you know, because a

01:26:11.600 lot of people are

01:26:12.320 really, like, on top

01:26:13.380 of this.

01:26:13.940 And it seems to be a

01:26:14.700 lot of women, 1.00

01:26:15.160 actually, have been on

01:26:15.780 top of this, from

01:26:16.220 Facebook.

01:26:17.140 Like, so my wife

01:26:17.680 brought this to my

01:26:18.240 attention before I saw

01:26:19.160 anyone else talking

01:26:20.140 about it.

01:26:20.740 And I saw, like, just

01:26:21.820 lots of women on 1.00

01:26:22.600 Twitter talking about it.

01:26:23.500 I was like, right,

01:26:23.820 okay, there's something

01:26:24.580 the men haven't clocked

01:26:25.380 onto yet, but thankfully

01:26:26.460 the ladies are well

01:26:27.320 ahead on the curve on

01:26:28.300 this one.

01:26:28.560 Well, RFK won Trump a

01:26:29.780 lot of crunchy

01:26:30.160 granola mums.

01:26:31.100 Yeah, yeah, he did,

01:26:31.700 yeah, yeah.

01:26:32.160 That's great.

01:26:33.240 Guy from Hungary says,

01:26:34.240 I pray in the direction

01:26:35.360 of Mecca, make Europe 0.99

01:26:37.140 culturally Christian

01:26:37.960 again.

01:26:39.340 Sean says, I feel there

01:26:40.880 is a failing of

01:26:41.860 structure and morals

01:26:42.860 leading to this

01:26:43.360 decline, but I must

01:26:44.360 also ask if there is

01:26:45.260 not a feeling of

01:26:45.900 overcrowding.

01:26:47.100 The government may

01:26:47.640 not want any decrease

01:26:49.160 in population, but

01:26:50.200 maybe that would be

01:26:51.180 okay for a period of

01:26:51.860 time.

01:26:52.160 Is it normal to fill

01:26:52.920 space for a species

01:26:54.160 to fill an area?

01:26:55.580 The population

01:26:56.100 over expands and

01:26:56.760 then it constricts.

01:26:57.820 Well, it's literally

01:26:58.360 mouse utopia that

01:26:59.480 we're living through.

01:27:00.180 Yeah, but we're not

01:27:00.880 also arguing for a

01:27:01.940 constant increase in

01:27:03.020 population, it's just

01:27:03.900 the total facility rate

01:27:06.180 just says a population

01:27:07.120 maintenance, and if you

01:27:10.120 had a net outflow of

01:27:11.240 migration and then

01:27:12.060 British people having 0.98

01:27:12.680 the kids they want,

01:27:13.560 you wouldn't have a

01:27:14.280 problem.

01:27:15.060 Yep.

01:27:15.980 Thomas says, Roderick

01:27:17.100 Lynch makes the point

01:27:18.380 that Africa's population

01:27:19.720 will fall in line with

01:27:20.720 the West.

01:27:21.440 Let's just lower the

01:27:22.180 quality standards on

01:27:23.440 birth control and make

01:27:24.140 it acceptable to

01:27:24.680 shame spinsters again. 1.00

01:27:26.460 Honestly, people don't

01:27:28.380 want to talk about it,

01:27:28.900 but it is going to be

01:27:29.420 birth control that's 0.99

01:27:30.140 the issue.

01:27:31.580 Sorry.

01:27:32.880 Also economics, but

01:27:33.980 yes.

01:27:34.380 Fuzzy Toaster says,

01:27:35.480 right-wing in academia?

01:27:37.120 Police supporting the

01:27:38.020 native white community?

01:27:39.000 Cleaning up the streets?

01:27:39.800 My God, it's a utopia!

01:27:41.160 Yeah, where can I

01:27:41.620 move to?

01:27:43.180 I know, right?

01:27:44.360 Just, when we win,

01:27:48.480 academics will become

01:27:49.520 right-wing.

01:27:50.520 Jimbo says, absolutely

01:27:51.640 tiresome having a woke

01:27:52.540 king who is reportedly

01:27:53.480 going to give Sadiq

01:27:54.260 Khan a nighthood.

01:27:55.920 I'd give him a prison

01:27:56.760 sentence.

01:27:57.140 Yeah, Charles doesn't

01:27:58.420 nominate the people for

01:27:59.400 the nighthood, the

01:27:59.860 government does.

01:28:00.460 Yeah, so that's

01:28:00.880 Starmer's doing.

01:28:01.540 Yeah, so it's Starmer

01:28:02.640 and it's just essentially

01:28:03.940 custom for him to just,

01:28:05.360 you know, do...

01:28:05.720 Oh, but...

01:28:07.640 Or chop his head off.

01:28:08.420 No.

01:28:09.980 If he doesn't win,

01:28:11.180 because he's only three

01:28:12.800 times as a mayor, isn't

01:28:13.560 he?

01:28:14.020 Sure.

01:28:14.480 He's going to go straight

01:28:15.140 into government.

01:28:16.700 As a lord.

01:28:19.300 Jesus Christ, Lord Sadiq.

01:28:21.240 Yeah, they're going to do

01:28:22.280 David Cameron.

01:28:23.260 Well, no, well, maybe.

01:28:25.240 Well, no, he's going to

01:28:25.900 be a knight rather than

01:28:26.900 a lord.

01:28:27.560 Yeah, that'll make it

01:28:28.340 way easier to just...

01:28:31.800 Kevin says, I think

01:28:34.160 you're right about the

01:28:34.620 drop-off in birth rates

01:28:35.420 amongst British women.

01:28:36.160 It was Boris's fault.

01:28:37.460 He shouldn't have had

01:28:37.940 that vasectomy.

01:28:41.240 Bleach Demon says,

01:28:42.240 this is a gross

01:28:42.740 over simplification,

01:28:44.220 but feminism has 1.00

01:28:44.940 destroyed the West.

01:28:46.060 By every measurable goal

01:28:47.140 of feminism has been 0.97

01:28:48.440 achieved, we have sealed

01:28:50.160 the destruction of

01:28:50.720 Western civilization.

01:28:51.400 I mean, that is

01:28:52.100 definitely something

01:28:53.140 that has happened.

01:28:55.220 Unfortunately.

01:28:56.820 We're out of time,

01:28:57.700 but Charlie says,

01:28:58.780 between the various

01:28:59.480 sex abuses, baby

01:29:00.500 and mother names,

01:29:01.140 as well as 30 years

01:29:01.820 of constant liberal

01:29:02.440 smears and attacks,

01:29:03.840 is it any wonder

01:29:04.460 the church is no

01:29:05.440 standing in Irish life

01:29:06.400 and are empty

01:29:07.940 and the highest number

01:29:08.600 of men to join the

01:29:09.680 priesthood in a decade

01:29:10.580 was 21.

01:29:12.140 Damn.

01:29:12.660 I didn't realise

01:29:13.100 Christianity was so 1.00

01:29:14.360 under assault in Ireland.

01:29:16.240 Again, St. Patrick's

01:29:17.140 party, drive the snakes

01:29:18.080 into the sea.

01:29:19.480 It just works.

01:29:20.220 It just so works.

01:29:21.540 And with that,

01:29:22.100 we will be back

01:29:22.660 in half an hour

01:29:23.520 for our lad's hour

01:29:24.420 on Pirates of the Caribbean,

01:29:25.960 but otherwise,

01:29:26.980 we'll be back at

01:29:27.420 1 o'clock on Monday

01:29:28.640 for the regularly

01:29:29.200 scheduled podcast.

01:29:30.240 Take care,

01:29:30.580 have a good weekend

01:29:31.100 and goodbye.
