00:00:00.000 hello and welcome to the podcast lotus eaters episode 1124 i'm your host harry joined today

00:00:15.020 by josh hello and a very very sleepy dan i'm not sleepy i'm just sick he might fall asleep

00:00:21.500 he might nod off during the i'll be i'll be right i'm powering through i've got my lucas aid and

00:00:25.280 i've had a limb sip if anything it'll be our failure to keep him entertained if he falls

00:00:29.340 asleep so that's our mission if you are still conscious by the end of this podcast we've had

00:00:34.280 a good one yes i don't know i feel like i should try and put him to sleep now i think that it does

00:00:39.580 sound a bit date rapey when you put it like that okay fine what if you put in his drink harry why 0.89

00:00:44.140 is it fizzing anyway uh so today we're going to be talking about civil servants being useless and not 0.79

00:00:51.500 knowing what their job is how to do it or why they're even alive i question that often uh we're

00:00:56.200 also going to be talking about fake conservatives and how to spot them i get to whinge about someone

00:01:00.500 i find annoying yes you're not going to get sued for that one are you no because i'm going to be

00:01:04.700 fair he's going to be fair but firm all right i'm always firm we know that's your name and uh also

00:01:12.280 we're going to be talking about how european culture is actually worth saving that's going to be that is 0.62

00:01:16.700 my opinion and it is correct excellent and uh with that let's just get straight into it shall we folks

00:01:23.220 so first before i start my segment proper

00:01:26.320 nicely done harry buy it buy this look it's still intact it's good build quality it's pretty damn sturdy

00:01:38.020 if you ask me you could express delivery you're going to throw it at you you could try and tear it

00:01:43.180 you could ah you could nibble at it you could gnaw it on the corners if you're so multiple if you're 0.90

00:01:48.000 disgusting like carl does with books that you lend him where he'll start picking his teeth with them 0.75

00:01:53.220 but you wouldn't do that would you because you're a civilized and well-mannered human being if you're 0.83

00:01:59.760 not get out we don't want you in the audience but if you are a well-mannered human being then buy it

00:02:06.640 on the website or i'll cry anyway you don't want to make harry cry it's really some of them do some of

00:02:12.640 them do but anyway so uh let's take another let's take another look at the next installment of

00:02:18.340 everything is miserable everything is terrible and no one knows what they're doing otherwise known as

00:02:23.140 duk and a reminder to everybody that last week i did this segment on screen right now about britain's

00:02:30.160 skilled kebab visas where we found out that skilled worker visas were being just handed out to many many

00:02:37.240 hundreds of people uh because they were being sponsored by kebab houses and up to 83 businesses

00:02:43.520 with halal in their name and one butcher just by himself one butcher sponsored 918 visas which also

00:02:51.580 meant that if you've got a skilled worker visa you can bring your family with you as dependents

00:02:55.360 he's a he's got a big family lots of cousins lots and lots of cousins as the turks are known to have

00:03:01.620 and so that that was terrible enough right that was one of those things where it's like oh god the

00:03:06.980 country is falling apart everything's miserable why do i even still live here why do i allow myself

00:03:11.940 to open my eyes in the morning again still asking that question you are making quite a good case as to

00:03:17.020 why not why you're going to give us a bit of an uplift in a minute no no so it turns out it turns out

00:03:26.160 after that uh that shock of all shocks surprise surprise uh the home office don't actually know

00:03:33.000 how these work that's sort of their job isn't it to know how things work that's that's the only reason

00:03:41.000 that there is a civil service is that their their entire raison d'etre is that they know how the

00:03:47.780 government works because they specialize or at the very least they know how the specialist subject of

00:03:54.500 their department works that's what i mean yeah yeah like if you're in the home office you would

00:03:58.800 expect to know how a skilled visa works so is it any surprise that people can just get sponsored by

00:04:04.700 anybody a butcher who has 918 separate other butchers in their family that desperately need to

00:04:11.040 come over here and fill up the gaps in halal butchering that we have such an urgent market need

00:04:17.360 for dan does this sound like reasonable economics well i'm not cutting across the conclusion of your

00:04:22.120 segment but it goes back to the whole the purpose of a system is what it does so i'm not really

00:04:28.720 surprised that the home office doesn't understand what's going on because i mean the purpose of this

00:04:33.340 system is to get as many islamics into the country as possible rubber stamp them as fast as possible 1.00

00:04:37.980 yeah there's also the you could say that there's a lot of a lot of this kind of motion going on at the

00:04:43.000 home office and 24 7 do you remember there was there was a bit where they tried to blame the

00:04:48.360 immigration on putin as if he was sending kgb officers into the home office to stamp visas all

00:04:53.320 day long make that again i did you you were doing it first yeah mine was a much stronger i was i was

00:04:59.920 just going to say that the idea that they're just incompetent like you you go to a doctor and then

00:05:05.280 you mention oh my lungs been hurting and they're like you're what lungs i've never heard of these

00:05:09.720 before have you tried breathing more they wouldn't even get to that point they don't even understand

00:05:14.120 how they work so yeah so so let's let's dig a little bit deeper into this because this was a

00:05:19.220 national this was a financial times article and it's taken from this report by the national audit

00:05:25.160 office who say that the home office cannot say what the immigration mechanism of skilled worker visas is

00:05:32.040 is contributing to the economy this is like a yes minster skit isn't it it's like our civil servants

00:05:38.500 were trained to know these sorts of things don't actually know it even though that's well and remember

00:05:44.020 the whole reason we had the boris wave in the first place according to dominic cummings was

00:05:47.880 a quote that he he cited as being one of boris's which was um open the floodgates i want the ft to

00:05:54.820 like me so so does that right when you were reading the ft did you discover that they do in fact now

00:06:01.560 like boris johnson and therefore importing three million extra people above the well i believe the

00:06:07.760 people they should be liking is the migration advisory committee given that on that trigonometry

00:06:12.160 interview that boris johnson just did he actually just blamed everything on them despite the fact

00:06:16.100 that as prime minister he could have just overruled whatever they suggested to him whenever he wanted

00:06:20.360 yes whenever he wanted little 80 seat majority he could have done any damn thing he pleased

00:06:26.820 and it turns out what he wanted was to flood the country with foreigners oh right so he got exactly 0.80

00:06:31.700 what he wanted although if you actually knew anything about boris johnson's previously stated positions

00:06:36.160 before becoming prime minister that's not a surprise yeah he's been pretty open about it the whole

00:06:41.020 time he wanted an illegal immigrant amnesty and probably mayor of london wasn't it yeah probably 0.93

00:06:46.380 still as well mayor of london and was talking about it at the same time as brexit as well

00:06:51.340 so he probably still does anyway so uh so what this has found is that the uk government officials do

00:06:57.740 not fully understand how the main route for workers to come to britain is being used or what it's

00:07:02.800 contributing to the economy the home office did not conduct an impact assessment before widening the

00:07:09.840 skilled worker visa route to include entry-level care jobs in 2022 and that was in uh included in

00:07:16.660 the report that the national audit office did it's also worth mentioning as well a lot of these entry

00:07:21.100 level care jobs they're taking jobs from teenage girls basically yes and then normally who would 1.00

00:07:27.180 have been doing that and then abusing the people that yeah well there are lots of cases a scandal

00:07:31.940 that's ongoing seen lots of videos of um africans being very cruel to our elderly which 0.99

00:07:37.160 is really infuriating so that's how it shows up in where i am because well i mean it's a reasonably

00:07:42.580 nice area and it you know it doesn't have an awful lot of the diversity but where i do see every time

00:07:48.340 you see a special person or an old person being walked around the park they're always flanked by a

00:07:52.640 by an african of some description yeah it's the same in my area as well again lovely little tudor town

00:07:58.240 nobody until about maybe five years ago was particularly diverse except for an indian corner shop that was in

00:08:05.860 the town then all of a sudden yep africans parading about all of the old people whenever they're going 1.00

00:08:11.260 to the local shop that's how they get in that's how they get in and the home office they did they

00:08:17.720 didn't figure out what would happen before they allowed that in the first place so good one there

00:08:22.460 hang on a minute wasn't the issue that we used to have lots of care workers and then boris fired 0.99

00:08:28.580 40 000 of them or something because they wouldn't have the you know what in the arm

00:08:31.960 i don't know if that has any connection to this stan but but there's stands a reason

00:08:37.640 there's there's been a certain vacancy of a certain number of people that happen to be of a certain

00:08:43.780 demographic that we share yes that were more likely to have that position and subsequently were fired for

00:08:52.380 he created 40 000 vacancies of an unskilled job that could then be filled conveniently by his

00:08:58.820 bobby's wave yes i mean in fact my my missus at the time during the uh during all of these events

00:09:05.780 was working in a care job and she quit because she didn't want that either yes because she had

00:09:11.720 some worries about i don't know if i should say blood clots which may or may not reasonable which

00:09:17.120 may or may not have anything to do with the other thing that we are referring to yes so the decision

00:09:22.140 was one of the key factors driving a surge in net immigration to the uk with health and care

00:09:26.380 accounting for 158 300 of 509 100 applications for skilled worker visas in 2023 high take up of

00:09:34.800 that route which opened in 2020 when brexit ended free movement within the uk thank you again boris

00:09:40.340 great job you did get brexit done didn't you good job has helped businesses recruit and boosted

00:09:47.340 tax revenues according to the financial times boosted tax revenues if you say so if you say so

00:09:54.680 it has also led to more people staying permanently in the uk more workers bringing family and more

00:09:59.900 than 5 000 people who came on skilled worker visas applying for asylum in 2024 so you came on a skilled

00:10:06.540 worker visa but also you're a refugee you need asylum i'm a skilled refugee that's basically what

00:10:15.280 they're saying there this is my daily dose of depression that's very strange also okay as well if

00:10:20.320 you boost tax revenues that's fantastic but then they bring all of their dependents with them

00:10:24.880 who inevitably become a massive burden on the system and then most of the money that they may

00:10:29.820 or may not make will not go back into the local economy because as we know from this over nine

00:10:34.920 billion pounds leaves the british economy each year due to remittances migrants sending it back home

00:10:40.840 because this is not their home this is a economic zone that they work in and leech money off of us

00:10:46.260 most countries that aren't lame actually have very strong limits on that very thing if they have any

00:10:51.940 migration to their country at all yes we're lame we are yeah we're very lame but going back to the 1.00

00:10:57.240 article uh so they also point out that nor did the home office which leads government immigration policy

00:11:02.860 fully assess the consequences for different sectors before tightening the rules again spring 2024

00:11:09.140 introducing a ban on care workers bringing family and higher salary thresholds for other skilled workers

00:11:14.580 now obviously i would say that uh tightening the rules is always a good thing but the fact that

00:11:19.240 before doing the change in 2022 and now doing the change in 2024 they didn't actually look into

00:11:26.780 how any of this would work and what the consequences would be suggests to me that the home office is um

00:11:33.080 a department run by headless chickens who have no idea what they're ever doing and just do things

00:11:38.540 because they probably feel that they have to that's a great sign i mean given that you have just

00:11:43.440 clearly articulated what the impact has been of all of this and you're able to do it off the top of

00:11:48.180 your head maybe they did do an impact assessment and then they looked at it and thought yeah probably

00:11:53.700 better best bluff it that we just haven't done one and they binned it and that would be some kind of

00:11:59.320 offense to hide that from an audit office though wouldn't it uh if that if that was the truth and

00:12:05.640 that's just speculation on your part there uh but i mean neither one of them is good though is it

00:12:11.340 no either they've no idea what they're doing and just do things for the sake of it or they do know

00:12:16.020 what they're doing and they know that it's bad for the country and they do it anyway i think it's

00:12:19.700 that one i think it can be both it could be both yes uh here's here's another fun part the white 0.65

00:12:25.980 hall department does not fully understand blah blah uh adding that it failed to monitor what happened

00:12:31.080 to people when their visas expired well they go on benefits illegally illegally and they claim asylum

00:12:41.880 but it's good to know that they're really very very astute in their workings here as well as

00:12:47.540 confirming the attention to cut overall immigration government ministers have pledged to ensure high

00:12:52.420 tech sectors seen as crucial to economic growth will be able to recruit skilled workers from overseas

00:12:57.220 since the rules were tightened last year applications for skilled worker visas have already

00:13:01.140 halved totaling just 252 700 in 2024 that's still about 252 700 too many by my accounting but oh well

00:13:10.060 the rule changes are not the only reason the number of skilled workers has fallen so sharply since 2023

00:13:15.340 home office is also scrutinizing applications more closely revoking the license to sponsor visas of

00:13:21.020 almost 1500 employers in 2024 and rejecting a fifth of applications of applications by contrast in 2021

00:13:28.860 it approved 99 so it really was just the rubber stamping method i would like to add as well that by

00:13:36.660 getting people on even if they are actually high skilled people that are going to fill a vacancy that

00:13:42.860 contributes to the the economy these very rare immigrants even those are taking jobs from people that

00:13:51.000 are natives right in that ordinarily in normal times they would train pressing ways they would train

00:13:57.660 someone up they might even sponsor their education domestically to get a skilled worker if there is

00:14:04.020 a deficit it makes a company reinvest in the country that they're based in which is what you want that's

00:14:10.240 the ideal scenario where they're reinvesting in the the human capital if you will of your country but this

00:14:17.600 is just completely outsourcing it and meaning that you have a terminally unemployed nation and uh

00:14:24.260 speaking of the terminally unemployed would it surprise you if there are more than 1 million

00:14:28.280 foreigners claiming benefits which is a households with at least one foreign national claimant receiving

00:14:33.580 more than 7.5 billion pounds in universal credit in the year 2023 no it would surprise me if it was

00:14:39.680 any less than that in fact i think 1 million is optimistic isn't there 23.3 million non-ethnic brits

00:14:46.720 in the uk so that's what one in 23 at least that we know of it's higher it's going to be higher well

00:14:55.300 here's here's a bit of a fall a fun one so in terms of overall numbers of 200 nationalities who are

00:15:02.680 claiming benefits poland accounted for the largest number of pure claimants at 89 000 but if you to if

00:15:09.660 you take it and make it per capita if you take the data narrow it down to per capita you can find which

00:15:16.000 populations are most likely to be claiming benefits and notice anything about all of these

00:15:22.280 yes sandy slovakia is a bit of an odd one out slovakia is the odd man out but the rest of them 0.97

00:15:30.400 all seem to be sub-saharan north african middle eastern it's the the cause of all of our problems 1.00

00:15:38.580 in fact immigration wise anyway in fact in the congo well actually if you are congolese in britain

00:15:45.480 it's basically a coin flip to see if you're on benefits or not because 445 out of 1000 of them

00:15:53.620 is on benefits let's also point out the fact that the congo is the the sexual assault capital of the

00:16:00.180 world and also uh much enrichment to be taken from this place it's also consistently one of the

00:16:06.420 lowest places on earth for quality of education afghanistan is not known for any kind of like 1.00

00:16:16.020 problem with um violence against women is it no no no nor is iraq syria somalia yeah iran sometimes

00:16:26.680 right i mean to be fair there are manchester canal street that um should be worried about

00:16:31.820 the iranians i mean now there are actually some legitimate syrian refugees because now that the 0.68

00:16:36.380 west has backed the takeover there and it succeeded they're just and they're murdering christians 0.94

00:16:40.860 on mass so actually that's probably the only but i bet none of those are the christian syrians well but

00:16:45.040 this these figures will have been from well before yeah yeah well before that i think at latest these

00:16:50.380 figures would be from 2023 so that's that's that's good to know how does our government respond how do

00:16:56.800 we how do we uh deal with stuff like this well you know we don't get actual solutions although to be

00:17:02.660 fair i will say keir starmer deciding to cut back on massive amounts of bureaucracy slash benefits by

00:17:12.400 billions of pounds each year would have been nice if the tories had done that starmer is the best

00:17:17.540 party leader in british politics at the minute at least out of the people that are in parliament

00:17:23.420 i mean yes you're right and that's bad in terms yes that's terrible that's not saying that he's a

00:17:29.320 good person we still remember the southport protests we still remember the response to that

00:17:33.600 we still know there's winter fuel tax allowance and we also know everything to do with the farmers

00:17:38.340 but in terms of actually doing that thing that tories always say that they did

00:17:42.480 which was cut back on the state cut back on excess bureaucracy and regulation benefit claimants

00:17:48.240 and everything else because he is a blairite and the state is inherently blairite he can just get

00:17:53.980 away with anything they will bow to him and do what he wants and so if he says hold up this country's 0.96

00:17:59.420 about to explode and we need white boys to die in our wars if we're going to go into ukraine 1.00

00:18:04.000 okay we will do some things that make us look popular for a little bit but we're still getting 0.99

00:18:10.840 plenty of propaganda about all of this enrichment that we're getting around here people who are

00:18:17.000 not contributing to the economy actively taking away from the economy sending our money away into

00:18:23.460 other economies and then enriching us further with their cultural presence you start to get

00:18:29.440 more things more and more things like this a netflix series adolescence not watched it not planning

00:18:34.960 on it they say you should watch it harry because the rest of us don't want to somebody needs to i

00:18:40.760 don't want to dan you can watch harry did read those james o'brien books so i still need to do part

00:18:47.140 three of that because i did read that book i've just not got around to recording that yet because i

00:18:51.040 don't feel like depressing you and carl but i quite enjoy them they're they're wonderful this is the this

00:18:56.160 is the most miserable darkest one so you'll probably enjoy it i enjoy that yeah yeah but this is a great

00:19:01.340 example of a thing you were just talking about is is they're now gearing up for you know getting the

00:19:04.980 white boys to die in their wars again despite the fact they've spent whatever it is 20 30 plus years 0.99

00:19:09.960 absolutely shitting on the white boys at every possible opportunity and clearly netflix haven't 0.99

00:19:15.280 got the memo because they're producing another example of yes the london knife crime academic epidemic 0.99

00:19:21.540 epidemic is that your new is that your sort of pasty it's done by lots of scholars and academics isn't it

00:19:27.440 no i think the london knife crime academy's cousin isn't it that's your new pseudonym uh so yeah

00:19:34.360 they say that they want their show which is about knife crime young white boy killing some uh killing

00:19:41.080 one of his classmates a girl due to the influence of toxic masculinity and misogynist and oh they're 0.90

00:19:47.840 making Andrew Tate yeah Andrew Tate Andrew Tate has been explicitly named king of the incels

00:19:52.360 king of the incels yeah that's what he's most known for right so so does just was it drill rap

00:19:58.300 music come up at all i i would doubt i doubt mizzy is going to be making a special guest appearance in

00:20:03.820 this so they want it to be shown in parliament so it causes discussion and makes change basically

00:20:09.780 like everything else that they want to do they want it to be a signal to censor the internet more and

00:20:16.000 more and more because that's all we like doing in this country so uh what they've said is that it was

00:20:21.040 stephen graham this chap here who's appeared in a lot of stuff and writer jack thorne are the co-creators

00:20:27.460 and co-writers of this show and they say it follows the miller family lives blown apart when a 13 year

00:20:33.880 old boy is arrested for killing a female classmate jamie the character has been polluted by ideas that

00:20:39.860 he's heard online that make sense to him that have a logic that's attractive to him that answer the

00:20:44.460 questions as to his loneliness and isolation that lead him to make very bad choices we have to

00:20:49.440 understand the things he's been consuming and that means specific especially looking at the internet

00:20:54.320 the manosphere and incel culture hello steven so did jamie watch one of your segments harry he must

00:21:01.040 have done he must have done or one of connor's uh graham said that he was inspired to make the show

00:21:06.480 after seeing two separate reports of boys stabbing girls to death would you like to see what one of

00:21:12.380 those reports was i think i know which one it is yeah so uh there's this article from my london which

00:21:17.780 actually gives details of one of the incidents that inspired here roiden that's uh

00:21:23.700 horrific murder of a croydon school girl and uh he cited the tragic death of school girl elian andam

00:21:33.300 almost sounds like mandem who was uh killed by hassan sentamu after she got off a bus outside the wit gift

00:21:41.300 center on her way to old palace of john wit gift school in croydon on september 27th 2023 now hassan

00:21:49.380 hassan looks exactly like pasty little jamie here no oh right oh okay oh that's a shock isn't it no

00:21:55.300 when there is a stabbing in london if i were a betting man yes he is of the demographic to be 1.00

00:22:01.860 fair most likely to watch andrew tate so that's perhaps there is some truth to it uh so sentamu has

00:22:08.580 recently been found guilty of her murder in january and was sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in

00:22:14.020 prison at the old bailey just this thursday passed so here's the murderer the guy who killed another

00:22:21.140 foreigner so this is just an example of foreign violence being imported into croydon for some 0.95

00:22:28.260 reason to whose benefit who knows the home office certainly don't know 18 year old man stabbing a 13

00:22:34.660 year old 15 15 i was 15 sorry and it was back in um 2023 so he may have been 16 so refresh my memory

00:22:42.820 harry i've got that picture in my mind yep yep what does the netflix version of that look it looks like

00:22:48.180 this it's amazing how when when they're basing it on a black person mysteriously that person becomes

00:22:54.100 white but when it's a white person that's done something significant and noteworthy they become black 0.93

00:22:59.140 it's a it's a i need a word for this netflixing whatever it is race casting yeah yeah and it's 0.92

00:23:06.900 what you're describing there is similar to a time to kill as well the samuel l jackson film where

00:23:11.780 uh the black man's daughter it was years before i realized that they'd swap that as well is uh is 0.52

00:23:16.820 raped and murdered by a couple of white boys and then when you look into the incident that actually 0.89

00:23:21.620 inspired it well actually it was a direct opposite yeah it was the direct opposite of that and it's a 0.88

00:23:26.900 horrifying story but for some reason you've got to race swap them for um purely socio-economic

00:23:34.020 reasons black people can't do anything wrong is why which is why the home office has to let as 0.99

00:23:39.380 many congolese in as possible so that they can enrich our culture with their um bladed articles and rapes 1.00

00:23:47.140 yes anyway that's my segment and hopefully yours won't be quite so depressing i'll go through some

00:23:52.420 rumble rants now the engaged few who would have thought harry was such a ramones fan somebody put

00:23:57.860 something in my drink reference engaged few again are there any of the skilled worker visas being used

00:24:03.700 to bring in vape shop cashiers probably it's a very difficult job very skilled is you really do need

00:24:09.860 a lot of skill years to do that ramshackle otter had depression two years ago had a phone appointment 0.87

00:24:16.660 doctor kept asking me if i felt tearful i was crying i kept saying yes eventually she spelled it

00:24:22.660 out no tearful cheerful oh where would we be without them where would we be without let's go on to your

00:24:37.860 segment chuck i'm just don't kill us i'm just reeling from the it's like i go to the doctor

00:24:43.540 with depression are you cheerful no that's the opposite while you're weeping while you're crying

00:24:49.380 your eyes out as well good god okay well i'm going to be talking about a fake conservative and just the

00:24:56.180 one because they get on my nerves a lot and i've seen them a lot and they get banded around and get

00:25:00.500 them do the media circus and i find it really irritating and it's just one example of how people can use

00:25:07.700 things like the culture war and things that are legitimate concerns to the native population

00:25:13.620 and piggyback on it to make a career for themselves um but in an entirely unrelated note we have a

00:25:19.940 magazine um it is very good it is a very good magazine and uh if you want to be in the exclusive

00:25:25.780 club of islander magazine owners i believe i was told there's only a thousand copies left and so

00:25:32.580 we're almost sold out so actually you need to kind of hurry up but do you want to be a loser do you

00:25:39.620 want to wake up at the end of the week and realize you've not got islander look at how beautiful it is

00:25:44.180 it's a beautiful magazine and um yes rory's done a great job with the graphics and also there's merch

00:25:49.940 on the website as well if you want to get yourself a t-shirt or a mug if you're not into reading

00:25:54.180 and um like josh yeah i don't like reading who cares who cares about words eh the written word

00:25:59.780 yourself a mug but if you care about words this is your best way to spend your money but anyway with

00:26:05.140 that out of the way uh wow stop looking at the merch store i'm done now okay all right sorry um

00:26:13.220 yes so the lady i'm talking about is this one this lady here and here she is talking to jacob 0.99

00:26:19.380 um on gb news gb news love inviting her on and she's often referred to as britain's strictest head

00:26:27.140 teacher and this isn't a self-appointed title this was the title of i think it was a 2022 itv series

00:26:34.500 which looked at her school that she was ahead of and we're going to be looking at all of the

00:26:38.420 different things that she's done in her school and some of some of it's good some of it's bad i

00:26:42.820 don't know if i'd be proud of that just being strict by itself i was about to thing i want exactly

00:26:48.580 the best head teacher and strictness can actually be counterproductive to encouraging students to

00:26:54.020 learn i was going to say exactly that great minds harry yeah there we go but yes she gets invited

00:26:59.620 onto lots of things and we're going to um eventually get to some of them but i wanted to

00:27:05.380 you know go to her profile here britain's strictest head mistress she calls herself that but i think 1.00

00:27:10.820 that's just a good marketing term if you want to appear in the media it gives the media a reason

00:27:15.460 to talk to you um of michaela school which we're going to be talking about as well small c conservative

00:27:20.820 values here we go that's how she gets a foot in the door truth race and personal responsibility 1.00

00:27:27.540 i mean i'm okay with the truth and personal responsibility part what does race mean in

00:27:31.540 isolation like that i don't know it seems unusual but you will see it's his own sentence which one

00:27:37.940 um yeah that's a very good uh snapshot of her school because it's in london i believe so it's

00:27:45.220 going to be very mixed and diverse it is yes it's it's like uh it's useful then it is we'll be talking

00:27:51.620 about this don't worry so we need to go to her early life um because she was born in auckland new

00:28:00.260 zealand um she is the the daughter of frank burblesingh an indo-guyanese man and his wife

00:28:08.340 and her mother is from jamaica she mostly grew up in toronto and canada and spent periods in nigeria 0.61

00:28:15.540 and france and then eventually studied in oxford um and then i and she also was a member of the

00:28:22.020 socialist workers party which is interesting who's living marxism by i'm curious now have a look who wrote

00:28:28.500 this uh the just the journal revolutionary communist party yeah so she has no claim to

00:28:35.860 being british either culturally or ethnically because obviously she's not spent much time here

00:28:42.660 she has no heritage here um most of her life in canada here are pictures of the school you can see

00:28:48.260 that it is a very new school it is one of the uk with a y schools isn't it it's very diverse so i'm

00:28:54.980 going to read a little bit for about this school because you start to get a picture of this person

00:28:58.900 who's being invited on the the right-wing media circuit um sure the braverman was the first chair

00:29:05.780 of governors there yes interesting that that she was there when it was founded and also um michael gove

00:29:12.900 um this is from wikipedia i think it's uh down the bottom here the school has been described as a

00:29:17.780 beneficiary of former uk education secretary michael gove's support both financially and bureaucratically

00:29:24.180 and also uh in september of 2019 um the school was cited by education secretary gavin williamson

00:29:31.700 remember conservative government at this point another conservative in the same party as the

00:29:36.020 other two and as a as an example of a free school in a tough area that achieved excellent results so my

00:29:42.420 pet theory is that this school is given as much support as humanly possible because all of these senior

00:29:48.660 conservative politicians have skin in the game if the school does badly it reflects badly on their

00:29:54.660 education policy on their um competence as you know also officials it's a blueprint for the future

00:30:02.900 it is exactly that it's a rough area in a diverse part of london don't read between the lines in that 0.97

00:30:09.380 statement um and they're getting good results and of course there is the fact that if you've got a

00:30:17.140 very specific school with a very specific ethos maybe it selects for the kind of people that are

00:30:23.060 going to do well it could not it could necessarily be you know you get a good grammar school with a

00:30:28.260 high entry requirement you get a higher standard of of student that's more enthusiastic to be there

00:30:32.980 in the first place it's just it's possible that's all i'm saying but i want to point out just how

00:30:37.940 dystopian this is and this all has a purpose i'm not just um having a go at the school and some of

00:30:42.900 it i do approve of i do approve of them trying very hard to give them a good education and also

00:30:48.500 trying to not let them get away and be slack with bad behavior that stuff is great so i want to be a

00:30:54.820 bit nuanced i'm not just having a go but i'm going to read from this the school emphasizes discipline

00:31:00.980 and has a traditional style of teaching that's fine there is a zero tolerance policy regarding poor

00:31:05.860 behavior that's good fine a boot camp week at the start of the year teaches the new year seven pupils

00:31:10.980 the rules and consequences of breaking them perfectly fine there is a strict uniform code

00:31:15.860 and no group work well this sounds good to me so far this sounds okay but then it starts going a

00:31:20.980 little bit work has positives and negatives sometimes normally it was just me doing all

00:31:25.060 the work so i didn't get in trouble and then other people flying on my coat i was thinking i was

00:31:28.740 thinking well it can help with group decision making and teamwork but then again you are right

00:31:33.540 most of the time it would be like oh i guess i'll do everything then and then it says children sit in

00:31:38.420 rows and learn by rote and walk in single file between classrooms so now it's starting to sound

00:31:44.740 a bit like a prison sounds a bit chinese it does doesn't it a bit singaporean perhaps um staff at

00:31:51.940 the school tend to reject most of the accepted wisdoms of the 21st century um fair enough

00:31:57.460 that bit yeah um the only problem is the they've rejected the wrong ones pupils must be silent in

00:32:03.620 school corridors and are forbidden to gather in groups larger than four this sounds like some sort

00:32:08.340 of curfew or like a prison yard this you're basically preventing the children so is it just

00:32:14.100 having a childhood groups larger than four in the corridors or on all of the school grounds

00:32:20.180 forbidden to gather in groups of larger than four i guess i suppose in general it doesn't specify

00:32:25.860 in school corridors there so just in general sorry you're not allowed more than four friends at a

00:32:30.180 time we've got a group of five well they're gonna have to stand on their own you're gonna have to

00:32:35.300 single that one out you know the one they've got to be two meters away school policies have been

00:32:40.180 described as neo-strict because it combines the use of punishments with rewards merit points are

00:32:44.580 given for good behavior and achievement that's fine i suppose we had merit points in my school yeah same

00:32:49.220 here and then it carries on to look the lunchtime one is the one that i'm most offended by

00:32:54.500 lunchtime consists of a pescatarian meal and it's it doesn't serve beef or pork oh i wonder why

00:33:02.340 because of indians and muslims and uh remember this this is someone who's supposedly going out of a

00:33:08.500 way to enforce british values on them this this obviously british why not at least some chicken

00:33:13.540 then i know yeah it has to be fish apparently chickens off the table well look at the next people

00:33:18.580 pupils to sit at a table of six well just a minute ago it was four i know yeah well they're allowed an

00:33:23.860 extra two people one of them is a teacher or guest though so it's actually five and take responsibility

00:33:29.300 for serving each other they lay the table together one pours water another brings in and serves the food

00:33:35.220 so it's basically courting them to be like waiters and waitresses this this feels like surf class it does

00:33:43.220 another serves i don't know i think on balance i'm still on board i mean there's certainly worse

00:33:49.220 things but it just seems a little bit arbitrary yeah it feels arbitrary it feels strange and the

00:33:54.900 englishman in me just yes just just looks at this and says let on on as long as they're not breaking

00:34:01.780 the rules let the children play how they want at break time this is exactly the sentiment i was going

00:34:06.420 to get at is that it's very un-english in england this this school is in london that's true

00:34:11.140 it is i suppose even given the breakup of the population there you have mentioned singapore i

00:34:17.860 can imagine where you're going to be taking this next i believe that we might have been taking some

00:34:22.420 lessons from singapore's for former premier yes how did you know um in the document right there oh well

00:34:29.540 don't read my notes cheat um teacher um to clear the table following the meal i wonder how they decide

00:34:37.460 those two that's a rough you know end of the stick teachers eat with their students and the tables 1.00

00:34:41.780 discuss what the children have learned that day or a topic of the day such as the most inspirational

00:34:46.340 person they've learned about in their history classes they don't have any opportunity to actually

00:34:50.420 be children and have fun and talk to each other they've always got adult supervision at all times

00:34:55.860 after eating the people spend five minutes thanking someone followed by two claps from the rest of the

00:35:03.300 school this is like 1984 for dinner ladies what age becoming increasingly soviet what happens to the

00:35:11.620 first people to stop clapping they don't get pudding what age group does this go up to in this school

00:35:18.260 18 it's a secondary school yeah right because there's got to be at least some 16 and 17 year

00:35:23.300 olds are watching zoom a historian and if they wasn't around at dinner time to discuss the most

00:35:27.940 inspirational historical figure they've been learning about so children who's your favorite

00:35:35.060 philosopher no you don't answer don't answer that oh dear yeah i've got a question about liebenstrand

00:35:45.300 it also says children are not allowed to bring food or drink to school which includes snacks and

00:35:49.620 chewing gum chewing gum i can understand children make a mess with chewing gum but they're not allowed to

00:35:54.340 bring their own food or drink so you bring a bottle of water with you you're not allowed that the school

00:36:00.100 has to provide everything for you you must be subservient to the school so you're not allowed to bring 1.00

00:36:05.140 your own food or drink but so that means that explicitly unless you are eligible for free school meals

00:36:12.180 the school is making profit off of you by charging you for food well they're not two pound 50 that was how

00:36:19.060 much i paid almost 17 years ago when i was in school so it's obviously subsidized i don't care

00:36:25.060 what i did was bring in a sandwich i mostly did that too a sandwich a packet of crisps and a drink of

00:36:34.420 some kind maybe a chocolate bar maybe a chocolate bar if i i didn't have the same lunch yes you're not

00:36:39.380 making the case for me also have the kid who would come in with a backpack full of pepsi uh who would sell it off

00:36:45.060 as always and that's always on yeah the first merchant i've got i've got to say on back because

00:36:50.980 that was an entrepreneurial spirit one of them would be dealing smack out of their backpack if

00:36:55.860 you let them bring their own food in you there'd be it would be little baggies coming out this isn't

00:36:59.780 scotland smack is not food all i'm saying is josh is you've not made the case i i'm i'm still on balance

00:37:07.300 pro this school well you'll change your mind right okay what would you want your own daughters going 1.00

00:37:12.820 there well yeah but i don't live in i live in england not london no fair so i saw this uh this

00:37:20.340 is from lee kuan yu of singapore we have to lock up people without trial whether they are communists

00:37:26.260 whether they are language chauvinists whether they are religious extremists if you don't do that the

00:37:29.860 country would be in ruins why did he take such a strict line well it was because there were three

00:37:35.300 competing ethnicities in singapore and he had to be strict you all hated each other yes that why singapore

00:37:41.860 went like that yes yeah i didn't know that literally because it was multi-ethnic and lee kuan

00:37:47.380 only one way to solve this and this person here rightly points out as europe diversifies its police

00:37:52.500 state will grow and and part of the reason i think that this school has been so successful is it's

00:37:57.540 ruling over a tower of babble basically isn't it uh of a thousand cultures with an iron fist and that's 0.73

00:38:05.140 why whereas the english sensibility and why i was sort of reflexively disgusted as was harry is that

00:38:12.020 it's not english it's not an english way of doing things it's it's not part of our but it's but it's

00:38:17.140 not in england it's in london and you know people yes but it's it's that it's being used as a model to

00:38:22.500 say this is great get this everywhere that's why oh no no this doesn't need to come to surrey or

00:38:28.340 hampshire for example i will i will also say if there's one thing i wouldn't want michael gov near

00:38:32.980 as a school but that's either here nor there you've heard those rumors too have you i think we all have

00:38:38.180 and uh i was talking to cunley dropper about this actually by the way i don't mean that don't sue me 0.83

00:38:42.580 i don't mean it and uh he's saying by the way josh since singapore is actually less diverse than the uk

00:38:49.860 it could actually afford to be less strict about these things and hold more of the anglers well

00:38:54.900 you get the idea right but he's basically saying that now singapore is actually more mono-ethnic than

00:38:59.620 the uk they can afford to be less strict famously strict singapore than we are which is interesting

00:39:06.660 isn't it so this strictness is actually just the the new form of ruling your minority kingdom it's a

00:39:14.980 pilot study why do you think all the senior tories are involved it's because it's a means

00:39:19.700 of um figuring out how you're going to govern your new um disunited rabble i suppose multi-ethnic 0.50

00:39:26.660 state yeah and then i saw this and this is her on spiked for multiculturalism to work we all need

00:39:35.300 to make sacrifices no we don't well i guess in that case i don't want multiculturalism to work 1.00

00:39:39.860 because i never wanted it here in the first place i don't wholeheartedly agree why should we englishmen

00:39:44.580 sacrifice our own liberties that we fought for for centuries just for the sake of some bat 1.00

00:39:50.580 shit insane experiment that's never worked anywhere it's been tried if someone bought the port if

00:39:56.180 someone came into my house and i said would it be all right if you took your shoes off and they said no

00:40:00.660 i i want to keep my shoes on i'd be like well okay i want you out of my house then it's as simple as that

00:40:05.860 if you don't respect the rules of the house you leave you get kicked out that's that's the way it

00:40:11.220 works the world over in our homes uh used to be our country as well that is the norm that is normal

00:40:18.340 that is the default human experience and the expectation that we should have to make sacrifices

00:40:25.140 is the aberration and a moral abomination at my school we don't eat meat or allow muslim children 1.00

00:40:31.140 to pray separately we need to share in the overall british experience the reason not a british experience

00:40:36.100 what's british about any of that none um the the reason she doesn't allow muslim children to pray

00:40:42.420 separately is because it's not inclusive so it's not there's no no baseness to it it's not like we're

00:40:48.340 not having any of that nonsense in here uh it's it's more well if you go off and pray separately that

00:40:54.900 makes you divided from the rest of the school and that will be bad because everything has to be

00:40:59.700 about keeping these disparate groups together wait the entire way in which the school is structured

00:41:05.620 is they don't let the ginger kids in on the muslim prayers do they they better not that'd be like 0.86

00:41:09.700 that'd be like honey to a fly that would oh no well if that's if there's any kids white enough to be 1.00

00:41:14.980 ginger in school but loads of the muslim parents tried to sue the school and i think were defeated in

00:41:19.220 the end um because of it uh but this uh was picked up on by kundi drukpa and this was i thought quite

00:41:28.260 excellent because i'd actually included some of these pictures uh in my segment before i spotted

00:41:33.860 it spot that british values hand yeah just all of the things that we've had to sacrifice like we've

00:41:41.940 got the multi-faith prayer room obviously for muslims look at it yeah um the school uniform i don't have

00:41:47.060 any gripes with the fact you've got to make them eat vegetables is annoying uh humanity close just

00:41:52.180 renaming streets the cctv state all of the authoritarianism the police officer waiting to 0.89

00:41:58.660 uh to throw john stewart mill in your face it's all in here sonny but yeah it's it's all nonsense

00:42:06.580 isn't it we shouldn't have to make sacrifices and the fact that people like jacob rees mogg who you'd

00:42:12.580 think would have a little bit more of a spirited defense of englishness no no he said many times he

00:42:19.380 doesn't care about demographic change in this country that's true and i believe him but you'd

00:42:24.740 at least think a man who embodies the platonic ideal of a an aristocrat would at least have something

00:42:29.620 but no apparently not and she also um oh no this comes from this article i've gone on long enough so

00:42:38.420 i'm not going to read from this but it is basically even worse in the article than it is in the um byline

00:42:44.420 that they used to advertise it um it says our position at school is that for multiculturalism

00:42:49.940 to work we all need to make various sacrifices we have christians muslims hindus buddhists jehovah's 1.00

00:42:54.900 witnesses we've got kids from a whole variety of different backgrounds black and white and in order

00:42:59.540 for all of us to get along we can't say that we want uh what we want goes we have one group or have

00:43:05.300 one group dominate i can't read for some reason apparently i didn't go to this school uh what we

00:43:09.940 need to do is share in the overall british experience well the overall british experience

00:43:14.420 is being ethnically british not being any of those religions other than christian well those poor white

00:43:19.940 kids aren't getting a british experience are they're not they're in the land of their ancestors in what's 0.70

00:43:24.660 supposed to be its capital city and they're getting whatever this is some multi-culti nonsense

00:43:30.740 and uh unsurprisingly all right calm down there mike graham i'm gonna be on talk tv in no time

00:43:38.980 one day uh she wrote this article um yes two days ago now actually um in defense of ofsted's hamid patel

00:43:47.700 this is the guy this is not um a cia most wanted list this is um i believe he's ofsted chair now ofsted

00:43:57.220 chair and she does make out an important point that the position of ofsted chair is in reality

00:44:02.420 a largely ceremonial role which makes it all the more interesting that as a symbol for such a

00:44:07.140 ceremonial role that they would choose this man yeah and i think that she's complaining about all

00:44:11.780 of the people uh complaining about his appointment but what it suggests is that islam just has another

00:44:18.180 foothold to further impose itself on people who are either indifferent to it or actively oppose it

00:44:25.060 seen him before wasn't he in the opening scene of team america world police i think so yeah so

00:44:29.700 what's this line that you've got highlighted here just as i have prohibited prayer in my secular school

00:44:34.580 hamid patel has upheld the traditions of his islamic schools encouraging girls to wear the hijab

00:44:41.140 yes where is where is the the britishness yeah in any of this where's the he's encouraging

00:44:48.340 women to wear hijabs that must make him british must make him conservative yeah this is not ironically 0.97

00:44:56.100 conservatives will adopt that line within a few years well they are spineless cowards so this isn't

00:45:01.460 in the interest of the native british people in any sense of the word and it's even being picked up in

00:45:06.580 america here they are talking about uh meet the strictest headmistress in britain here they are

00:45:11.940 writing a puff piece about it blah blah blah almost chaston williams uh here she is on lbc uh talking

00:45:19.060 to nick ferrari um who actually opposed some of the things she was saying you can't say the bus was late

00:45:24.900 that's why i'm like what if the bus was late well you've i guess it's four lashings for me and uh here's

00:45:33.620 peter bogosian known uh accused liberal we need more educators like her and uh and there are loads

00:45:44.260 of people replying leftists mainly saying this is the crux of all conservatives they believe you should

00:45:49.940 be held responsible at all times for things completely out of your control which is not

00:45:55.140 representative of conservatives at all they think that being conservative just means being mean and

00:46:00.020 strict because that's how she presents it but that's not true at all as we can see we are more

00:46:04.580 conservative than she is and we well other than maybe dan mostly disagree with the means that well

00:46:10.580 i wouldn't want to send my kids here but then i don't live in london not yet but imagine you did

00:46:16.260 live in london imagine london is a gigantic festering well i did live in london for 20 years and as soon

00:46:22.900 as i had kids i was like right i'm not raising them here again but it's a tumor and the cancer will spread

00:46:30.420 yes it is yes but you can also go too far in the other direction and the guardian was whinging

00:46:36.500 about her as well saying the dogma of britain's strictest headmist upon as old as time gentle

00:46:41.860 parenting produces happier kids so there's that picture does look very relaxing yeah that does

00:46:47.380 look like you could get your if you could get your baby to do that you've done something right

00:46:52.580 problem here is but gentle parenting it's like it's okay you're just getting a little bit angry you'll get

00:46:59.540 it out of your system once you smashed up our bookcase is that that's what i imagine when i

00:47:03.620 hear gentle parenting and also is the aim to produce happier kids or is it to produce healthier kids

00:47:09.700 because you know eating your vegetables rather than eating a tub of ice cream

00:47:14.260 uh would make a child less happy but it is the right thing to do right yes and uh it goes too far in

00:47:20.980 the opposite direction and so i just wanted to draw attention to this because not only does it show some of

00:47:25.700 the tools in the toolkit of the elites that they're going to use on their new uh multicultural 0.82

00:47:33.140 dominion i suppose but also the kinds of people who are spreading these ideas and they get the

00:47:40.020 rounds in the media despite the fact that were people to be more knowledgeable about their actual

00:47:45.860 beliefs and what they're pushing for there's no way anyone would remotely consider them right-wing

00:47:51.140 or conservative in any sense of the word okay we've got two rumble rants would you like to read them

00:47:59.140 sure the engaged few living marxism is if anything lives for very long under marxism

00:48:06.420 and the engaged few again they're not describing a school you're describing the c-e-c-o-t prison in

00:48:12.900 el salvador it does sound a bit simple doesn't it so in this segment i've got a very simple uh goal i'm

00:48:21.460 going to try and make the case that europe is actually worth saving that it has achieved some quite

00:48:27.700 remarkable things that's a pretty easy case to make well yeah i don't think it's going to be enormously

00:48:32.740 challenging but i'm going to give it a go all the same it's nice to have some remoralization this

00:48:37.060 this was this was put in my head because we don't often we tend to do fairly black pilly segments all

00:48:41.860 the time um and i saw a clip on the on the interweb last night that was was so inspiring

00:48:48.020 um that i thought i had to build something around it so um basically the setup here and then our then

00:48:53.540 i'll follow on the rest of my argument is a chance encounter in uh the uh rome airport for whatever

00:49:00.660 reason the rome airport has a piano just sort of lying around so if you're any good at the piano you can

00:49:05.700 you can rock up and and play a bit for people passing by and on this occasion um a couple of

00:49:10.660 young girls um had their violins with them as passing by um and and and a rather sort of beautiful

00:49:16.580 encounter happened and this is the sort of interaction which is the product of many centuries of european

00:49:22.660 culture and it's a bit of a long clip but it's so enjoyable i thought it was i thought it was worth

00:49:27.620 playing in full so a little bit of background here that girl she looks a bit asian um partially i mean 1.00

00:49:34.660 the other one doesn't so much and the mother looks looks i don't know i don't know it doesn't

00:49:38.660 matter whether it's slightly asian or not the points of music is the important point the point

00:49:42.660 is i mean the the piece of music they're going to play is uh vivaldi winter uh from the four seasons

00:49:48.180 so written around um 1720 and of course the four seasons they they they are supposed to engender

00:49:56.420 a feeling of that season so this one is going to be the winter movement so you get this sort of fast

00:50:01.540 pacey choppy violin bits which are supposed to uh represent you know sharp changing winds um

00:50:07.940 sudden dynamic shifts um unpredictable winds what's that fighting cold yes exactly all that kind of

00:50:15.220 stuff and descending violin runs to to give you the effect of gushing winds but but just look at this

00:50:20.340 and look at and just think about the the centuries of european culture that culminated in in a chance

00:50:27.300 encounter like this play play this for us jack you want to play with me okay like both of you okay sure

00:50:41.300 let's try ready

00:51:11.300 so

00:51:17.300 so

00:51:31.300 so

00:51:33.300 Thank you.

00:52:03.300 Thank you.

00:52:33.300 So I'll pause it there, but you get the idea.

00:52:46.980 This is...

00:52:47.880 You almost listened to the whole bloody thing then. 0.95

00:52:49.520 You might as well have finished it off. 0.98

00:52:51.520 Well...

00:52:52.300 That is very, very impressive of those two young girls.

00:52:54.540 I have been trying to learn that piece on guitar for a little while.

00:52:58.340 It's absurdly difficult.

00:52:59.460 Playing the violin as well is a very difficult instrument to play

00:53:03.860 because it's not like guitar like you or I might play

00:53:07.100 where you can actually see what you're doing.

00:53:08.800 You've got to...

00:53:09.460 To keep the violin under your chin,

00:53:12.380 you kind of have to not look at your fingers,

00:53:15.340 which makes it a lot harder when you've got to learn something.

00:53:17.780 And for girls as young as 11 and 8, that's amazing.

00:53:20.820 Yeah.

00:53:21.560 But I mean, everything about that.

00:53:22.780 I mean, the fact that you've got airplanes taking off in the first place.

00:53:26.040 You've got basically a high-trust society.

00:53:29.420 You've got the craftsmanship of the piano, the piece of music itself.

00:53:33.060 I mean, it's...

00:53:33.540 Violins.

00:53:34.400 Yeah, it's...

00:53:35.820 Dedication to perfection that allows young children

00:53:37.600 to get to that level of technical mastery as well.

00:53:39.680 Well, it's an example of, you know,

00:53:43.040 many things that have worked in order to bring this together.

00:53:46.760 So I think that's quite remarkable.

00:53:48.200 And it got me thinking, look, there's a lot more to European culture.

00:53:51.820 I mean, that in itself is remarkable.

00:53:54.720 I will have to sadly say that I always feel when I see videos like that

00:53:58.140 that they are highly staged.

00:54:01.140 Impossible.

00:54:01.860 Someone's going to be saying it in the audience

00:54:03.920 and I just have to say that I agree with you.

00:54:06.280 I mean, all the camera angles.

00:54:07.520 But also, they did still play it.

00:54:10.160 No, that doesn't take away from how impressive it is.

00:54:12.440 Let's just believe, because we want to.

00:54:16.160 Many examples of remarkable European culture.

00:54:19.400 And I'm just going to pick up...

00:54:20.440 I won't be able to come anywhere close to doing justice

00:54:23.500 to European culture in a 20-minute segment.

00:54:25.700 But, you know, here's a thread looking at marble sculptures.

00:54:30.460 So that image you're seeing there of the hand in the net,

00:54:33.460 that is marble.

00:54:34.940 That is the culmination of a lifetime of experience there, isn't it?

00:54:38.920 It's just...

00:54:40.160 What is made possible by European economies

00:54:44.040 is that you can dedicate yourself to your craft

00:54:46.480 for the entirety of your life and become a master.

00:54:49.620 Well, I mean, often these masters could be in their 20s

00:54:52.540 for some of these things.

00:54:53.640 Well, yeah.

00:54:54.120 They've been training since they were quite young.

00:54:57.020 I was waiting for you to say something like,

00:54:58.720 he was 16 when he sculpted this.

00:55:01.480 They start very young.

00:55:02.300 In this one, the angel's wings...

00:55:04.300 Oftentimes, these kinds of artists

00:55:06.440 would not necessarily be making money from this.

00:55:09.260 They'd be, like, sponsored by a rich...

00:55:11.400 A patron, an aristocratic benefactor.

00:55:13.640 This is what is possible once you get rid of child labour laws.

00:55:17.160 Yes.

00:55:18.600 That's one takeaway.

00:55:20.220 In this one, the angel's wings are so thin

00:55:22.640 that they glow when the sun crosses through.

00:55:25.820 That's very impressive.

00:55:26.600 I've not seen that before.

00:55:27.660 Another very...

00:55:30.580 Oh, this is a very famous one

00:55:32.240 where you can see how the skin creases underneath his hand.

00:55:37.080 I mean, the skull and...

00:55:38.920 This is an old one.

00:55:40.340 This is a, what is it?

00:55:41.100 A 2,300-year-old Greek statue.

00:55:44.780 Blimey.

00:55:46.420 That's very impressive.

00:55:47.620 It's a work in bronze as well.

00:55:49.340 I'm no expert,

00:55:50.580 but I can imagine that that's not easy in the...

00:55:53.760 You know, I imagine that would be...

00:55:55.660 I mean, I find marble very impressive

00:55:57.220 because, of course, all of this sculpture was...

00:55:59.160 And that sort of silk handkerchief.

00:56:01.120 All of this sculpture was already there.

00:56:02.620 He just removed the unnecessary parts,

00:56:04.420 but making sure you remove precisely that

00:56:06.900 to end up with that level of workmanship.

00:56:09.040 You can't even make a mistake.

00:56:10.080 And you make one mistake

00:56:10.480 and the whole bloody thing's ruined. 0.63

00:56:12.080 But, Dan, I've been told that culture

00:56:14.140 is people being rude and noisy

00:56:16.640 and uncouth in the streets

00:56:18.260 and wearing...

00:56:19.020 No, no, no.

00:56:19.320 No blackpilling, Harry.

00:56:21.000 No blackpilling.

00:56:21.720 We're doing European culture in this segment.

00:56:23.560 And eating various disgusting slop foods

00:56:26.600 from corner shops.

00:56:27.520 No blackpilling.

00:56:28.320 As far as I've been told

00:56:30.100 by most people throughout my life,

00:56:32.260 this isn't culture.

00:56:33.260 This is nothing.

00:56:34.660 This is evidently culture.

00:56:35.920 Look at that.

00:56:36.320 Yeah, clearly.

00:56:37.900 Marble fabric.

00:56:38.680 The fact that you can see...

00:56:39.840 Go back up to the marble fabric one there.

00:56:42.080 Yeah.

00:56:42.820 Go back up.

00:56:43.640 The fact that it's giving an illusion

00:56:45.640 of transparency

00:56:46.840 where you can see the contour of the leg

00:56:49.980 Yes.

00:56:50.480 behind it.

00:56:51.060 That is magnificent.

00:56:52.240 There is more culture in that one image

00:56:54.460 than the entirety of the south of the equator.

00:56:58.400 I would dare to say.

00:56:59.540 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:57:00.680 Argentina's all right.

00:57:01.580 That's another...

00:57:02.320 And Australia.

00:57:02.860 If you like the illusion of transparency in marble,

00:57:05.880 look at that.

00:57:07.040 That's very impressive.

00:57:08.100 I've seen it before, but it's...

00:57:09.500 It's the same there.

00:57:12.520 Many great examples.

00:57:14.200 Let me get to the tiny muscle

00:57:18.060 in one of Michelangelo's statues.

00:57:21.000 Here we go.

00:57:21.560 Oh, yeah.

00:57:22.960 So what was that?

00:57:25.220 This is the...

00:57:27.200 Yeah, that's part of the forearm musculature.

00:57:29.740 So it's like a tiny tensor muscle

00:57:32.360 in the forearm

00:57:33.580 that only contracts when lifting the pinky. 1.00

00:57:36.000 And you can see his hand

00:57:37.080 seems to be lifting the pinky a bit there.

00:57:38.900 So you're paying enough attention to detail

00:57:41.220 to know to include that

00:57:43.420 judging on the position of the hand

00:57:45.720 than the fingers on it.

00:57:46.980 As we're talking about European culture,

00:57:48.620 it is the little finger.

00:57:50.200 Yeah.

00:57:50.900 I mean, that is...

00:57:52.240 Sorry, sorry.

00:57:52.920 I was reading from the thing.

00:57:54.080 I know you were.

00:57:55.660 That is on Michelangelo's Moses there.

00:57:58.880 So, I mean, that is a tiny detail

00:58:00.980 of a huge piece of work.

00:58:05.100 And he got that tiny detail

00:58:07.060 in that forearm.

00:58:09.420 I mean, this is what the European peoples

00:58:11.460 have produced.

00:58:14.500 Now...

00:58:14.820 It's Italian heavy so far, isn't it? 0.97

00:58:16.840 So far it has been.

00:58:18.320 I've also been told Italians aren't white,

00:58:20.560 which is not something I agree with.

00:58:22.940 Of course they are.

00:58:24.740 Now, Michelangelo died, of course,

00:58:26.460 in 1564.

00:58:28.480 So he's unable to order a copy of The Islander,

00:58:31.320 but I'm sure he would have done

00:58:32.440 because he has the sort of

00:58:34.440 aesthetic appreciation necessary

00:58:36.480 for enjoying The Islander.

00:58:38.100 We get no money whatsoever from YouTube

00:58:39.760 because they don't like us

00:58:40.800 because we're too based.

00:58:42.020 However, you can support us

00:58:43.080 by buying The Islander magazine.

00:58:44.400 You'll notice that this edition

00:58:45.920 features a beautiful cathedral

00:58:47.800 on the front.

00:58:48.740 Now, funnily enough,

00:58:49.840 that was going to be

00:58:50.920 my next set of points.

00:58:53.240 Let's have a look at some cathedrals.

00:58:54.760 So this is the Cologne Cathedral

00:58:56.740 in 1880.

00:58:59.340 Well, not in 1880.

00:59:01.580 It was built in 1880.

00:59:03.000 It was built in 1880.

00:59:03.740 Thanks, Pedden.

00:59:04.740 Yes.

00:59:05.660 Dan managed to find

00:59:06.540 this incredible photograph.

00:59:09.940 They had helicopters.

00:59:10.560 Taken from a helicopter.

00:59:12.740 The Europeans,

00:59:13.740 the man that made me.

00:59:14.260 You were better than we

00:59:15.020 give ourselves credit for.

00:59:16.280 This is the

00:59:17.180 Christ Cathedral

00:59:19.020 in Albania.

00:59:21.000 So that's what all that

00:59:21.800 drug money is going to.

00:59:23.000 Yeah, well,

00:59:24.380 they've got to afford

00:59:24.940 those Mercedes.

00:59:25.560 It's still a nice structure.

00:59:26.380 Oh, this one is nice.

00:59:27.600 This is...

00:59:28.420 Andorra.

00:59:29.060 They've got a very distinct

00:59:30.260 architectural style.

00:59:31.820 Whenever they come up

00:59:32.380 on GeoGuessr,

00:59:33.040 I know it's Andorra

00:59:33.900 just because of their architecture.

00:59:35.840 Andorra's the tiny city state

00:59:37.260 in Spain, isn't it?

00:59:38.740 Well, it's sort of

00:59:39.760 a micro state.

00:59:40.720 Yeah, micro state.

00:59:41.880 I wouldn't even say

00:59:42.200 there's a city.

00:59:42.960 Yeah, because I've been there before

00:59:44.640 and it is...

00:59:45.660 You have to travel

00:59:46.680 through hours of mountains

00:59:48.140 to get there.

00:59:50.220 Very nice.

00:59:50.800 Oh, yeah.

00:59:51.440 Yeah, it's lovely.

00:59:52.340 Many fine examples.

00:59:53.700 Belgium,

00:59:54.400 the Cathedral of Our Lady Antwerp.

00:59:57.680 1521.

00:59:59.000 If you do want...

00:59:59.800 If you do want to...

01:00:00.280 Was that finished in 1521?

01:00:02.300 Finished in 1521.

01:00:03.520 I'm sure it wasn't

01:00:04.060 knocked up in a year, but...

01:00:05.220 Well, yeah, obviously.

01:00:05.960 Yes, if we are going

01:00:07.920 to allow ourselves

01:00:08.480 just a little bit

01:00:09.460 of blackpilling

01:00:10.060 in this segment,

01:00:10.900 I mean, just ask,

01:00:11.860 if we are going to take people

01:00:13.000 from other places,

01:00:13.640 what were they doing

01:00:14.280 in 1521?

01:00:18.700 Not much.

01:00:20.280 Bosnia and Herzegovina.

01:00:21.440 There you go.

01:00:21.880 I'm really spreading it

01:00:22.940 around cathedrals.

01:00:23.680 They're all over the place,

01:00:24.500 but...

01:00:25.360 And in my local town,

01:00:26.840 there is a...

01:00:27.700 There's like a miniature

01:00:29.300 cathedral,

01:00:30.220 the local church

01:00:31.240 that was put together...

01:00:32.740 Well, it was originally

01:00:33.980 started 700 years ago,

01:00:37.620 was finished 600 years ago.

01:00:40.260 So, that's been around

01:00:41.240 since the 15th century.

01:00:43.420 And it's magnificent

01:00:44.500 on the inside.

01:00:46.580 1912.

01:00:47.060 One thing we have done

01:00:47.880 very well is look after

01:00:49.180 our churches in Britain.

01:00:50.780 It's one of the things

01:00:52.080 that continentals say

01:00:53.900 about the British

01:00:54.760 is that we really care

01:00:55.960 about the preservation

01:00:56.980 of our history

01:00:57.740 more so than most,

01:00:59.100 which is, I think...

01:01:00.620 Oh, thank goodness

01:01:01.120 we're not in France.

01:01:01.960 I mean, the amount of churches

01:01:02.940 going up in fire there.

01:01:04.460 Oh, no blackpilling.

01:01:05.480 Sorry.

01:01:06.440 Positive only.

01:01:09.480 1535.

01:01:10.820 Cathedral in Croatia there.

01:01:12.640 What's this one?

01:01:16.840 Cyprus.

01:01:17.680 Getting a bit out

01:01:18.400 into the frontiers there.

01:01:21.320 They're still beautiful

01:01:22.080 though, isn't they?

01:01:22.660 It is, yeah.

01:01:23.360 It's got its own

01:01:23.840 distinct style.

01:01:24.380 By the white stone.

01:01:25.520 Is Cyprus still Europe, 0.95

01:01:27.120 I think so?

01:01:27.420 I would say so.

01:01:28.300 It's pretty close to Syria 0.99

01:01:29.620 though, isn't it?

01:01:30.220 Yes.

01:01:30.620 And the Turks. 0.83

01:01:32.220 9th to 19th century

01:01:33.520 so the builders

01:01:34.400 were really dragging

01:01:35.100 their feet on that one.

01:01:36.580 10 centuries to build it.

01:01:38.320 Well, I mean,

01:01:38.720 let's be honest,

01:01:40.140 there were probably

01:01:40.960 a lot of invasions

01:01:42.900 and wars

01:01:43.520 holding them up over there.

01:01:44.580 Yes.

01:01:45.780 Yes.

01:01:47.540 What have we got here?

01:01:48.980 Oh, Czech. 1.00

01:01:49.740 Oh, I've been to this one.

01:01:50.760 I've been to this one as well.

01:01:52.480 I've got a picture

01:01:53.420 of myself under it

01:01:54.320 and it's beautiful.

01:01:55.120 I've still been in Prague.

01:01:55.900 It looks lovely.

01:01:56.760 Oh, Prague is a remarkable city.

01:01:58.560 It is.

01:01:59.040 It's one of the nicest places

01:02:01.140 I've ever been

01:02:01.900 and I've been to

01:02:02.440 quite a few places in Europe

01:02:03.520 so that's saying something.

01:02:05.740 One wonderful aesthetic to it.

01:02:08.980 What have we got?

01:02:09.800 Oh, Denmark.

01:02:10.940 Denmark are getting in

01:02:11.840 on the action.

01:02:12.780 Another distinct style there.

01:02:15.340 Very pointy.

01:02:16.620 Yes.

01:02:17.520 I like that.

01:02:17.660 Is that for snow?

01:02:19.600 Don't get snow on your roof

01:02:20.560 if it's very pointy.

01:02:21.760 That's true.

01:02:22.960 Very snow-visitant shape

01:02:24.820 is pointiness.

01:02:26.020 What have we got here?

01:02:26.980 Estonia.

01:02:29.340 Tallinn. 0.99

01:02:29.900 Tallinn is another one 1.00

01:02:30.800 of those beautiful places.

01:02:31.860 It's pretty close

01:02:33.080 to the top of my list

01:02:34.000 of places I want to go to

01:02:35.500 because I've seen

01:02:36.060 lots of pictures

01:02:36.620 and it looks gorgeous.

01:02:37.900 Again with its own

01:02:38.540 I'm assuming that

01:02:39.480 that's an orthodox church.

01:02:41.280 Yeah.

01:02:41.800 Yeah, yeah.

01:02:42.340 It's got that orthodox style.

01:02:43.940 Oldstid, isn't it?

01:02:44.360 Yeah.

01:02:45.040 Bit of Finland.

01:02:47.460 That's enough style, I suppose.

01:02:48.560 Not the one I would have gone for.

01:02:49.340 It looks like if someone

01:02:50.400 made the US Congress building

01:02:54.940 or the White House

01:02:55.960 a lot more orthodox Christian.

01:02:59.400 Yes.

01:03:00.140 See, playing Dark Souls

01:03:01.440 has conditioned me

01:03:02.360 to feel that

01:03:03.080 inside each of these cathedrals

01:03:05.940 is a twin blade wielding

01:03:09.260 boss battle waiting for me.

01:03:11.740 That's how the Japanese get you. 1.00

01:03:13.380 Like I'll walk through

01:03:14.580 and the priest will be stood there

01:03:16.860 with a sword in each hand.

01:03:18.440 Music will begin blaring

01:03:19.760 and I will be in danger.

01:03:21.240 Oh, I like that.

01:03:23.280 Greece, the monastery

01:03:24.340 of the Holy Trinity

01:03:25.860 in 1476

01:03:27.820 some poor sword

01:03:28.780 had to climb the side

01:03:30.720 of that thing

01:03:31.340 to build everything

01:03:32.440 you saw there.

01:03:33.240 Some people had to lug stones

01:03:35.000 all the way up there

01:03:36.040 for probably centuries

01:03:37.240 to get all of that built.

01:03:38.740 But again,

01:03:39.520 the product of European 0.83

01:03:40.880 civilisation.

01:03:42.740 There's Budapest

01:03:45.040 and there's so many

01:03:47.060 remarkable examples.

01:03:48.220 Oh, that's a bit like

01:03:49.940 the front of the islander,

01:03:51.320 isn't it?

01:03:51.600 This one, whatever that is.

01:03:53.680 Iceland.

01:03:54.340 It's enraged.

01:03:54.940 Do either of you want

01:03:55.920 to give a go

01:03:56.720 pronouncing the name

01:03:57.580 of that one?

01:03:58.580 Halgrim Skirktja,

01:03:59.920 I think.

01:04:01.100 Come on, Harry.

01:04:02.200 We're about equivalently

01:04:03.620 Viking, aren't we?

01:04:04.680 Yeah.

01:04:05.500 You wouldn't be able

01:04:06.440 to tell just looking

01:04:07.280 at us, would you?

01:04:09.360 Halgrim Skirktja.

01:04:10.180 Yeah, I think that might be it.

01:04:12.060 Icelandic people

01:04:12.800 watching this,

01:04:13.560 if you are watching this, 0.99

01:04:14.620 feel free to punch me 0.99

01:04:15.500 next time you see it. 0.94

01:04:15.680 I've listened to enough Bjork

01:04:16.880 that maybe I've imbibed some.

01:04:19.240 Ireland's done themselves 0.64

01:04:20.180 proud with that one.

01:04:21.880 Yeah, that's a good one.

01:04:22.560 Ireland's got loads of beautiful

01:04:23.480 St. Finn Barrett's

01:04:25.060 Cathedral Cork.

01:04:26.500 Also, cathedrals

01:04:27.180 always look amazing

01:04:28.060 in the snow, don't they?

01:04:29.240 Yes.

01:04:31.400 That's a classic, isn't it?

01:04:32.680 Back to Italy again.

01:04:34.240 All of Florence

01:04:35.020 is just beautiful, isn't it?

01:04:36.080 At least...

01:04:37.280 Markable.

01:04:37.760 Latvia.

01:04:38.760 Latvia.

01:04:41.540 What is this one?

01:04:42.860 Lichtenstein.

01:04:43.860 The point is,

01:04:44.900 is that Europe

01:04:45.540 has done itself proud

01:04:46.780 on not only

01:04:47.820 sort of music,

01:04:50.000 but architecture as well.

01:04:51.760 Now,

01:04:52.080 naturally,

01:04:53.280 what happens

01:04:53.840 is when you

01:04:55.200 decide to import

01:04:57.120 Europeans,

01:04:59.600 people who put together

01:05:01.460 remarkable architecture

01:05:03.120 like this,

01:05:03.840 you tend to end up

01:05:04.640 with stuff like this.

01:05:05.600 So this is,

01:05:06.760 what is it?

01:05:07.480 This is...

01:05:08.780 New York Old Penn Station.

01:05:10.760 No, no,

01:05:11.400 this story makes me sad.

01:05:12.560 It is, yes.

01:05:13.380 So this is the New York

01:05:15.120 Penn Underground Station

01:05:17.720 that was built

01:05:18.360 and look at that.

01:05:20.640 That is up there

01:05:21.620 with the cathedrals,

01:05:22.700 that vast...

01:05:24.380 I'm trying to think

01:05:24.800 of what films

01:05:25.540 that's been in

01:05:26.080 because I've seen it

01:05:26.720 in a few films.

01:05:27.840 I didn't realise

01:05:28.480 it closed down.

01:05:30.040 I think...

01:05:30.440 It was only open 50 years.

01:05:31.680 Yeah, was it really?

01:05:32.340 I think it's in

01:05:32.880 the Untouchables,

01:05:33.660 isn't it?

01:05:34.300 I don't know.

01:05:34.780 The one about

01:05:35.240 tracking down

01:05:37.060 Al Pacino...

01:05:38.100 Not Al Pacino.

01:05:41.800 Al Capone.

01:05:42.780 Yes.

01:05:44.060 I mean,

01:05:44.280 look at that.

01:05:45.340 I mean,

01:05:45.540 you import Europeans 1.00

01:05:47.480 and you get

01:05:48.780 European-level architecture

01:05:51.820 and it's just

01:05:53.300 a crying shame

01:05:54.260 that they decided

01:05:54.760 to replace it

01:05:55.400 with some

01:05:55.660 boxy utilitarian

01:05:56.840 communist...

01:05:58.480 Go on,

01:05:58.800 break it to me.

01:05:59.560 Show me what

01:06:00.000 they replaced it with.

01:06:00.880 I didn't feature that.

01:06:03.900 No, no,

01:06:04.200 that's the Penn Station

01:06:05.120 building nearing

01:06:05.660 completion in 1904.

01:06:06.740 Oh, right, okay.

01:06:07.520 That was the

01:06:08.240 original exterior.

01:06:09.520 Putting it together,

01:06:10.400 but...

01:06:11.640 Oh, that was

01:06:12.180 one of the dining rooms

01:06:13.120 off to the side.

01:06:14.000 You told me

01:06:14.280 that was Paris,

01:06:14.980 I believe you.

01:06:16.320 Yeah.

01:06:17.020 That sort of...

01:06:18.200 So, look,

01:06:18.840 I'm just...

01:06:19.240 We don't...

01:06:19.660 Americans who accuse

01:06:21.140 us of hating America,

01:06:22.360 we don't hate

01:06:23.120 America or Americans.

01:06:24.740 We are sad

01:06:26.000 of what's happened

01:06:26.780 the same as

01:06:27.520 the way we're...

01:06:28.560 Sad at what's happened

01:06:29.320 over here as well.

01:06:30.160 Oh, somebody in the

01:06:31.120 comments is saying

01:06:31.680 it's a Chicago.

01:06:32.480 Okay, well,

01:06:32.840 it's either New York

01:06:33.420 or Chicago,

01:06:33.880 I don't bloody know,

01:06:34.600 but anyway,

01:06:35.700 the point...

01:06:36.940 Oh, in the area

01:06:37.760 of Pennsylvania

01:06:38.560 station circa 1911.

01:06:41.360 Right.

01:06:41.680 Museum of the city

01:06:42.500 of New York.

01:06:43.180 Okay.

01:06:43.980 Well, the point is

01:06:44.980 that immigration 1.00

01:06:45.680 isn't automatically bad

01:06:46.860 because, look,

01:06:47.320 if you import

01:06:47.980 Europeans,

01:06:49.420 you get this.

01:06:52.460 Which...

01:06:52.940 The Native Americans

01:06:54.040 weren't exactly

01:06:54.560 building that,

01:06:55.200 were they?

01:06:55.660 No, no.

01:06:58.620 Philosophy?

01:06:59.020 Should we dip

01:07:00.360 into that?

01:07:01.820 Yeah, why not?

01:07:02.480 I haven't got anything

01:07:03.840 to show you on screen,

01:07:05.540 but I just thought

01:07:07.040 I'd pick out

01:07:07.660 a few bits

01:07:08.680 that spoke to me.

01:07:09.520 So,

01:07:10.560 Heidinger,

01:07:13.500 a German chap,

01:07:15.980 in time and being,

01:07:16.980 wrote,

01:07:17.540 man acts as though

01:07:18.480 he were the shaper 0.98

01:07:19.280 and master of language,

01:07:20.380 while in fact,

01:07:20.980 language remains

01:07:21.800 the master of man.

01:07:23.980 You know,

01:07:24.460 the conduit

01:07:26.200 through which

01:07:26.800 you communicate

01:07:27.720 ideas

01:07:28.360 end up

01:07:28.940 moulding those

01:07:29.840 ideas

01:07:30.580 through the medium

01:07:32.240 of which you

01:07:32.760 communicate them.

01:07:33.480 So,

01:07:33.680 language necessarily

01:07:34.480 twists the idea

01:07:35.420 that passed you.

01:07:35.680 It's a good way 1.00

01:07:36.060 of dressing up

01:07:36.720 the chicken or egg

01:07:37.380 to sound very

01:07:38.080 intellectual.

01:07:39.280 It does explain

01:07:40.360 Germans, though.

01:07:41.400 It does.

01:07:43.120 Yeah,

01:07:43.340 I'm getting

01:07:43.920 something different

01:07:44.480 from it

01:07:44.900 because what I'm

01:07:45.820 getting from that

01:07:46.460 is that

01:07:47.040 it's why

01:07:48.880 your intuition

01:07:49.640 is less corrupted

01:07:51.340 than thoughts

01:07:52.160 that you can

01:07:52.580 perhaps articulate.

01:07:54.840 Essentially,

01:07:55.220 what I'm getting at

01:07:55.840 is more authentically

01:07:56.740 yourself because

01:07:57.600 it can't be

01:07:58.300 interfered with

01:07:59.040 by language.

01:08:00.280 Yes,

01:08:00.700 I mean,

01:08:00.940 what I'm sort of

01:08:01.400 going with is

01:08:02.040 that maybe

01:08:02.540 there's something

01:08:03.020 to visceral

01:08:04.940 stereotypes.

01:08:06.600 Well,

01:08:06.720 that's definitely

01:08:07.200 true.

01:08:07.860 Yes.

01:08:08.900 We did a

01:08:09.760 contemplations on

01:08:10.540 that,

01:08:10.720 didn't we?

01:08:10.900 We did indeed.

01:08:11.580 Yeah,

01:08:11.920 you should watch

01:08:12.480 it.

01:08:12.920 Whichever one it

01:08:13.500 is,

01:08:13.700 you can find it.

01:08:14.420 I believe in you.

01:08:17.060 Immanuel Kant,

01:08:18.460 Prussian,

01:08:19.380 which is

01:08:19.920 another German,

01:08:20.720 almost a German,

01:08:21.380 possibly or something.

01:08:22.760 They don't know

01:08:23.400 ancient Greeks here?

01:08:24.820 Oh,

01:08:25.120 I think I've got

01:08:26.960 some coming up.

01:08:28.640 Kant,

01:08:29.240 Critique of Reason,

01:08:30.480 Enlightenment

01:08:31.120 is man's emergence

01:08:32.560 from himself

01:08:33.240 imposed immaturity.

01:08:35.040 Immaturity is

01:08:35.800 the inability

01:08:36.320 to use one's

01:08:37.640 understanding

01:08:38.260 without guidance

01:08:39.280 from another.

01:08:40.280 This immaturity

01:08:40.920 is self-imposed

01:08:41.960 when it causes

01:08:42.840 lies not in

01:08:43.740 lack of understanding

01:08:44.560 but lack of resolve

01:08:45.440 and courage to use

01:08:46.420 it without guidance

01:08:47.320 from another.

01:08:48.660 Dare to know.

01:08:49.360 So,

01:08:50.520 basically think for

01:08:51.400 yourself,

01:08:51.800 chaps.

01:08:52.640 What are you

01:08:52.940 saying there?

01:08:53.540 No.

01:08:54.640 Help me.

01:08:55.660 Tell me what to

01:08:56.320 think,

01:08:56.680 Dan.

01:08:57.140 Don't rely on

01:08:58.400 what you...

01:08:58.900 You're old

01:08:59.400 and you've got

01:08:59.900 grey in your

01:09:00.460 hair.

01:09:00.820 You must know

01:09:01.280 better than I

01:09:01.900 do.

01:09:02.100 Tell me what to

01:09:02.660 do.

01:09:02.760 Well,

01:09:02.940 read some

01:09:03.300 Kant,

01:09:03.580 you can't.

01:09:06.740 Literature.

01:09:07.380 Should we go

01:09:07.640 on to literature?

01:09:08.480 Yeah,

01:09:08.740 go on.

01:09:09.040 Yeah,

01:09:09.180 go on.

01:09:09.940 Don Quixote,

01:09:10.920 this one I think

01:09:12.140 speaks to our

01:09:12.920 modern time,

01:09:14.160 an extract from

01:09:14.720 that.

01:09:14.880 When life

01:09:16.760 itself seems

01:09:17.640 lunatic, 0.99

01:09:18.360 who knows

01:09:18.980 where the

01:09:19.320 madness lies?

01:09:20.800 Perhaps to

01:09:21.640 be impractical

01:09:22.740 is madness.

01:09:24.440 To surrender

01:09:25.080 dreams,

01:09:25.640 this may be

01:09:26.160 madness.

01:09:27.140 Too much

01:09:27.560 sanity may be

01:09:28.400 madness,

01:09:28.920 and maddest 0.94

01:09:29.360 of all to

01:09:29.780 see life as

01:09:30.460 it is and

01:09:30.980 not as it

01:09:31.460 should be.

01:09:32.980 You absolutely

01:09:33.960 butchered parts

01:09:35.020 of that.

01:09:35.420 I'm very ill.

01:09:36.340 I've got my

01:09:36.720 book to say.

01:09:37.180 But it speaks

01:09:38.920 to our

01:09:39.200 modern condition

01:09:40.100 that,

01:09:41.300 you know,

01:09:42.820 to accept

01:09:43.800 the world

01:09:44.140 as it

01:09:44.380 currently is,

01:09:44.920 is absolute

01:09:46.460 madness.

01:09:48.220 Would you

01:09:48.980 like me to

01:09:49.380 read the

01:09:49.680 next one

01:09:50.040 to save

01:09:50.420 your voice?

01:09:51.260 Yes,

01:09:51.520 go on then

01:09:51.940 because I'm

01:09:52.400 flagging here.

01:09:53.900 This one is

01:09:54.400 from Dostoevsky

01:09:55.820 from Crime

01:09:56.660 and Punishment,

01:09:57.300 which is of

01:09:57.820 course 1866

01:09:59.260 and in

01:10:00.180 Russia.

01:10:01.700 Pain and

01:10:02.420 suffering are

01:10:02.900 always inevitable

01:10:03.560 for a large

01:10:04.380 intelligence and

01:10:05.720 a deep heart.

01:10:07.180 the really

01:10:07.640 great men

01:10:08.180 must think,

01:10:10.300 must,

01:10:11.180 I think,

01:10:11.820 sorry,

01:10:12.360 have great

01:10:12.880 sadness on

01:10:13.460 earth.

01:10:14.440 Sorry,

01:10:15.120 you can read

01:10:15.800 the next one,

01:10:16.420 Harry.

01:10:17.260 All right,

01:10:17.980 shall I read

01:10:18.640 from Hamlet?

01:10:19.480 You give us

01:10:20.180 Hamlet then.

01:10:20.940 Hamlet 1600,

01:10:22.460 which Dan has

01:10:23.160 labelled the

01:10:23.840 ultimate tragedy

01:10:24.760 of existentialism

01:10:26.160 and I've really

01:10:26.720 set myself up

01:10:27.720 now so I

01:10:28.300 can't get a

01:10:30.720 single word

01:10:31.680 wrong.

01:10:32.000 You've also

01:10:32.500 got Shakespeare

01:10:34.160 to read.

01:10:34.760 I do.

01:10:35.800 To be or

01:10:36.700 not to be,

01:10:37.660 that is the

01:10:38.580 question.

01:10:39.460 Whether it is

01:10:39.920 nobler in the

01:10:40.620 mind to

01:10:41.160 suffer the

01:10:42.000 slings and

01:10:42.560 arrows of

01:10:43.140 outrageous

01:10:43.600 fortune or

01:10:44.740 to take arms

01:10:45.540 against a

01:10:46.080 sea of

01:10:46.420 troubles and

01:10:47.240 by opposing

01:10:47.940 end them.

01:10:49.160 This makes me

01:10:50.000 think of

01:10:50.300 Conor McGregor

01:10:51.660 in Ireland

01:10:53.040 because that's

01:10:54.320 the situation

01:10:55.600 he's in at

01:10:56.280 the moment,

01:10:56.660 isn't it?

01:10:57.200 Because to be

01:10:58.280 or not to be

01:10:58.840 is basically

01:10:59.260 saying,

01:10:59.620 you know,

01:11:00.080 how much 1.00

01:11:00.900 shit are you 1.00

01:11:01.840 going to take? 1.00

01:11:02.300 Are you

01:11:04.260 just going

01:11:04.600 to suffer

01:11:04.940 it?

01:11:05.820 There's a

01:11:06.580 follow-on line

01:11:07.340 that comes

01:11:07.940 after this.

01:11:08.780 Thus

01:11:09.080 conscious

01:11:09.540 does make

01:11:10.100 cowards of 0.65

01:11:10.800 us all. 0.98

01:11:11.880 Basically,

01:11:12.680 how much 0.99

01:11:13.060 shit are 1.00

01:11:13.380 you going 1.00

01:11:13.720 to take

01:11:14.120 before you

01:11:14.740 get involved,

01:11:15.540 before you

01:11:16.880 take arms

01:11:18.180 against the

01:11:18.800 sea of

01:11:19.100 troubles?

01:11:19.660 I'm not

01:11:20.000 fed posting

01:11:20.600 there.

01:11:21.200 I'm

01:11:21.320 metaphorical

01:11:22.020 arms.

01:11:22.460 A lot of

01:11:23.080 this seems

01:11:23.540 to be

01:11:23.840 wrapping

01:11:24.120 back around

01:11:24.760 to your

01:11:25.140 idea of

01:11:25.640 intuition

01:11:26.180 and gut

01:11:26.720 instinct

01:11:27.400 guiding

01:11:27.820 people.

01:11:28.560 The

01:11:29.680 conscious

01:11:30.380 makes 0.98

01:11:30.740 cowards 0.83

01:11:31.100 of us 1.00

01:11:31.340 all.

01:11:31.580 Don't

01:11:31.740 hesitate.

01:11:32.720 Yes.

01:11:33.400 Don't

01:11:33.620 allow

01:11:33.920 yourself

01:11:34.340 to be

01:11:34.660 intellectualized

01:11:35.480 out of

01:11:35.780 taking

01:11:36.100 action.

01:11:37.460 Yes.

01:11:38.460 Because

01:11:38.860 European

01:11:40.060 culture is

01:11:40.940 worth

01:11:41.140 defending.

01:11:41.880 There is

01:11:42.400 a consistent

01:11:43.520 logic that

01:11:44.300 we're

01:11:45.160 slightly

01:11:45.520 better than

01:11:46.160 I might

01:11:46.900 be able

01:11:47.220 to

01:11:47.500 communicate

01:11:48.140 more

01:11:48.420 effectively.

01:11:49.680 A little

01:11:50.320 bit of

01:11:50.600 science

01:11:51.080 while we're

01:11:51.780 skimming

01:11:52.120 through some

01:11:52.580 of the

01:11:52.740 European

01:11:53.040 achievements.

01:11:55.100 Heliocentrism.

01:11:57.180 Copernicus,

01:11:57.700 1543,

01:11:59.960 the awareness

01:12:01.520 that sun

01:12:02.120 and not

01:12:02.840 the earth

01:12:03.140 is the

01:12:03.440 centre of

01:12:03.720 the solar

01:12:04.000 system.

01:12:04.380 Not

01:12:04.400 necessarily

01:12:04.780 well

01:12:05.080 received

01:12:05.400 at the

01:12:05.660 time,

01:12:06.000 but we

01:12:06.240 warmed up

01:12:06.660 to it,

01:12:06.980 didn't we?

01:12:07.280 We

01:12:07.480 didn't.

01:12:08.260 To be

01:12:09.220 honest,

01:12:09.440 I'm not

01:12:09.660 entirely

01:12:09.900 sure if I

01:12:10.240 agree with

01:12:10.540 this one

01:12:10.780 myself.

01:12:11.820 What?

01:12:13.180 Well,

01:12:13.800 because the

01:12:14.360 centre is

01:12:14.740 an arbitrary

01:12:15.160 concept.

01:12:16.380 Now I've

01:12:17.080 read the

01:12:19.080 cant,

01:12:19.540 and I'm

01:12:19.740 thinking for

01:12:20.180 myself,

01:12:20.940 you can

01:12:21.300 designate any

01:12:21.980 point you

01:12:22.500 like as

01:12:22.900 the centre

01:12:23.260 of the

01:12:24.140 solar

01:12:24.480 system.

01:12:24.940 It's

01:12:25.020 just that

01:12:25.320 the orbital

01:12:25.760 maths are

01:12:26.200 considerably

01:12:26.600 easier if

01:12:27.700 done.

01:12:28.500 And you

01:12:28.760 don't need

01:12:29.060 to be so

01:12:29.720 uncharitable

01:12:30.540 to yourself.

01:12:31.240 You've

01:12:31.400 always been

01:12:31.980 a free

01:12:32.320 thinker.

01:12:33.100 Yes.

01:12:34.340 Germ

01:12:34.740 theory,

01:12:35.640 pasta and 0.53

01:12:36.600 cock, 0.99

01:12:37.480 is that how 0.90

01:12:37.660 you pronounce

01:12:37.980 it?

01:12:39.280 France and

01:12:40.040 Germany,

01:12:40.560 1860s,

01:12:42.200 you know,

01:12:42.520 he figured

01:12:43.060 out that

01:12:43.600 germs are

01:12:45.320 a thing.

01:12:46.020 He could

01:12:46.320 have simply

01:12:46.620 spent a

01:12:47.020 week in

01:12:47.300 the Lotus

01:12:47.620 Eater's

01:12:47.960 office and

01:12:48.340 he would

01:12:48.520 have figured

01:12:48.780 that out,

01:12:49.260 but they

01:12:50.500 got to it

01:12:50.980 through whatever

01:12:51.560 method.

01:12:52.560 That is one

01:12:53.120 of those ones

01:12:53.640 where that

01:12:54.660 changed the

01:12:55.840 quality of

01:12:56.600 human existence

01:12:57.400 more than

01:12:58.780 pretty much

01:12:59.620 any one

01:13:00.200 discovery.

01:13:01.460 Yes,

01:13:02.040 it's definitely

01:13:03.140 up there.

01:13:04.720 I mean,

01:13:04.960 as with all

01:13:05.500 of this,

01:13:05.900 there's so

01:13:07.120 many monumental

01:13:09.800 European

01:13:10.400 achievements that

01:13:11.500 I'm going to

01:13:12.580 get criticism in

01:13:13.300 the comments,

01:13:13.860 no matter what

01:13:14.700 I leave out.

01:13:16.680 The structure

01:13:17.740 of DNA,

01:13:18.800 Watson and

01:13:19.920 Crick,

01:13:20.400 one of them

01:13:20.860 was very

01:13:21.140 based,

01:13:21.760 I seem to

01:13:22.220 remember.

01:13:22.520 the discovery

01:13:24.240 of the

01:13:24.740 double helix

01:13:25.520 structure of

01:13:26.080 DNA.

01:13:26.220 From the

01:13:26.560 50s.

01:13:27.740 And I feel

01:13:28.620 that I need

01:13:29.180 to make,

01:13:30.680 what have I

01:13:31.840 included?

01:13:32.360 I've included

01:13:32.880 a bit of

01:13:35.260 philosophy,

01:13:36.280 a bit of

01:13:36.840 opera and

01:13:37.360 classical

01:13:37.680 performance.

01:13:38.300 I've included

01:13:38.600 a little bit

01:13:39.020 of architecture

01:13:39.660 and I've

01:13:41.000 left out

01:13:41.640 mythology,

01:13:42.760 folklore,

01:13:43.460 theatre,

01:13:43.900 drama,

01:13:44.400 cinema,

01:13:45.720 fashion,

01:13:46.320 leatherworking,

01:13:47.400 manuscripts,

01:13:48.180 calibrary,

01:13:48.860 cuisine,

01:13:49.900 wine,

01:13:50.460 spirits,

01:13:50.880 chocolate and

01:13:51.620 confectionery,

01:13:52.080 Belgian

01:13:52.480 chocolates and

01:13:53.160 Venetian

01:13:53.580 pastries.

01:13:54.280 I've left

01:13:54.500 out universities

01:13:55.620 and scholarships,

01:13:56.580 religions and

01:13:57.400 mystic tradition,

01:13:59.120 festivals and

01:13:59.880 seasonal

01:14:00.320 celebrations.

01:14:01.440 I've left out

01:14:02.060 navigation and

01:14:03.020 cartography.

01:14:03.640 There's a hell

01:14:04.000 of a lot that

01:14:04.440 I've had to

01:14:04.860 leave out while

01:14:07.040 celebrating European

01:14:07.940 culture.

01:14:08.760 You're talking

01:14:09.320 about the best

01:14:10.000 continent to

01:14:10.800 ever exist on

01:14:12.020 planet Earth.

01:14:12.880 Well,

01:14:13.020 quite.

01:14:13.880 And I'm not

01:14:14.420 saying that to

01:14:15.140 insult the North

01:14:15.920 Americans, 0.92

01:14:16.440 you're a product

01:14:16.860 of our culture

01:14:17.640 and therefore

01:14:18.180 an extension of

01:14:18.980 it.

01:14:19.780 All of the

01:14:20.300 continents.

01:14:20.560 Australia and

01:14:21.380 New Zealand

01:14:21.660 as well.

01:14:21.980 And a lot of

01:14:22.980 the South

01:14:23.360 Americans are

01:14:24.080 also a product

01:14:24.680 of us through

01:14:25.280 one way or

01:14:25.700 another.

01:14:26.160 That's true.

01:14:26.720 Or at least

01:14:26.980 not us,

01:14:27.660 the Portuguese

01:14:28.100 mainly.

01:14:28.740 Yes,

01:14:29.000 and the

01:14:29.200 Spanish.

01:14:29.720 And you do

01:14:30.720 have to make

01:14:31.420 this point

01:14:32.020 because this

01:14:32.580 is standard

01:14:33.100 thinking on

01:14:33.660 the left.

01:14:34.260 I've quoted

01:14:35.060 here a bit

01:14:36.120 of the Owen

01:14:36.640 of the Jones

01:14:37.320 who says

01:14:38.600 the single

01:14:39.020 biggest cause

01:14:39.640 of violence

01:14:40.120 in human

01:14:40.620 history is

01:14:41.160 the belief

01:14:41.640 of Western

01:14:42.160 Europeans

01:14:42.700 and their

01:14:43.920 descendants

01:14:44.420 in their

01:14:45.040 own

01:14:45.340 superiority.

01:14:46.820 And no,

01:14:48.000 Europeans actually

01:14:48.920 are superior.

01:14:49.460 it's just

01:14:52.060 self-evidently

01:14:53.320 true.

01:14:54.020 Well,

01:14:54.140 there's a

01:14:54.380 reason that

01:14:54.980 all of the

01:14:55.400 people everywhere

01:14:56.260 in the world

01:14:56.820 are moving to

01:14:57.580 countries founded

01:14:58.320 by Europeans

01:14:59.120 or are European

01:15:00.180 themselves.

01:15:01.760 You know,

01:15:02.000 you're not getting

01:15:03.180 lots of people

01:15:03.800 moving to

01:15:04.720 India or

01:15:05.540 Africa or 0.66

01:15:06.400 any of the

01:15:07.620 other countries.

01:15:08.680 and when I

01:15:10.280 say that

01:15:11.180 Europe is

01:15:13.420 superior because

01:15:14.340 it is,

01:15:15.080 I'm not trying

01:15:15.820 to take away

01:15:16.460 any of the

01:15:17.580 tremendous value

01:15:18.580 that you could

01:15:19.100 accrue to

01:15:19.700 other

01:15:20.220 civilizations,

01:15:21.240 you know,

01:15:21.880 Japan,

01:15:22.580 to pick one

01:15:23.080 random example.

01:15:24.280 The ancient

01:15:24.580 Chinese were

01:15:25.120 pretty good.

01:15:25.620 Yes.

01:15:26.040 I mean,

01:15:26.240 there is

01:15:26.640 kind of tapered

01:15:27.180 off in recent

01:15:27.700 years.

01:15:28.080 There is plenty

01:15:28.980 of value to

01:15:29.740 be had in

01:15:30.140 other cultures.

01:15:30.880 I'm simply

01:15:31.400 making the

01:15:31.940 point that

01:15:32.540 Owens Jones

01:15:33.700 is being

01:15:34.100 a complete

01:15:34.660 tit here because 0.99

01:15:35.540 of course there

01:15:37.020 is much to

01:15:37.680 celebrate about

01:15:38.340 Europe and

01:15:38.940 Europe evidently

01:15:40.060 is superior.

01:15:41.040 Yeah,

01:15:41.220 the Mongol 0.87

01:15:41.620 invasion of

01:15:42.360 Japan was 0.95

01:15:43.300 because of

01:15:43.880 the belief

01:15:44.380 of Western

01:15:45.740 Europeans in

01:15:46.960 their superiority.

01:15:49.340 Exactly.

01:15:49.460 How?

01:15:50.400 It's because the

01:15:50.960 Mongols were 1.00

01:15:51.460 running away

01:15:52.100 from the 1.00

01:15:52.520 racist whitey. 0.99

01:15:54.220 On all that 0.99

01:15:54.840 stepland that

01:15:55.680 they were so

01:15:56.120 trapped in.

01:15:57.060 Yep.

01:15:57.600 That's the thing

01:15:58.120 about the steppe.

01:15:58.820 They got closer

01:15:59.860 and closer west,

01:16:01.040 they got over to

01:16:01.660 Hungary and then 0.56

01:16:02.300 they ran away.

01:16:03.880 He said all of

01:16:04.420 these white people 1.00

01:16:05.160 are far too 1.00

01:16:05.700 bigoted for me.

01:16:06.500 They don't like

01:16:07.960 it when we

01:16:09.120 raid their land

01:16:09.880 and plunder

01:16:10.500 their cities.

01:16:11.580 Oh no,

01:16:12.140 that was very

01:16:12.580 bigoted of us.

01:16:13.540 So a sweeping

01:16:15.400 arc through

01:16:17.320 European culture

01:16:18.580 there,

01:16:19.480 a very quick

01:16:20.300 one.

01:16:21.020 Rather than

01:16:21.900 simply mention

01:16:22.840 European culture,

01:16:24.360 I have to give

01:16:25.460 a quick call

01:16:26.740 out to

01:16:27.280 European people

01:16:28.600 themselves

01:16:29.240 and I'm going

01:16:30.980 to give you

01:16:31.400 an example of

01:16:32.580 quite exquisite

01:16:33.420 peak German

01:16:35.000 engineering.

01:16:35.420 I don't want

01:16:35.800 any back

01:16:36.160 chat from

01:16:36.500 Harry during

01:16:36.960 this one.

01:16:37.940 But can we

01:16:39.340 play this?

01:16:43.600 Don't play

01:16:44.260 that one,

01:16:44.640 play the

01:16:44.880 other one.

01:16:45.840 Right,

01:16:46.320 so for those

01:16:47.280 of you who

01:16:47.700 are listening,

01:16:48.260 this is a

01:16:50.120 not European 0.83

01:16:51.320 music being

01:16:52.180 played.

01:16:52.820 This is a

01:16:53.580 testament to

01:16:54.580 precision.

01:16:55.640 This is

01:16:56.220 elegant,

01:16:58.300 sleek

01:16:58.560 flowing lines

01:16:59.420 that provide a

01:17:00.140 harmonious

01:17:00.800 blend of

01:17:01.500 form and

01:17:02.420 function with

01:17:02.980 a presence,

01:17:03.920 grace and

01:17:04.440 poise that

01:17:05.080 belials sheer 0.99

01:17:06.480 capability,

01:17:07.220 a fluid grace

01:17:08.000 engineering for

01:17:08.980 optimal and

01:17:10.220 efficient performance.

01:17:12.240 I feel like I've

01:17:12.660 just walked in on

01:17:13.360 Grandad watching

01:17:14.200 the gymnastics.

01:17:16.880 So those of you

01:17:18.140 who are listening

01:17:18.700 may not have

01:17:19.600 fully appreciated

01:17:20.340 that last bit,

01:17:21.220 but peak

01:17:22.920 German engineering.

01:17:23.860 So well done

01:17:24.440 to the Europeans

01:17:25.580 and you've

01:17:26.780 created a

01:17:27.260 tremendous

01:17:27.580 culture.

01:17:28.000 All right,

01:17:30.720 let's go through

01:17:31.320 the rest of the

01:17:31.860 rumble rants and

01:17:32.540 then get through

01:17:32.980 the video comments,

01:17:33.820 eh?

01:17:34.140 I've already seen

01:17:34.900 that video,

01:17:35.480 by the way,

01:17:35.960 so that's why I

01:17:36.520 didn't say much.

01:17:37.700 Josh likes that

01:17:38.440 video,

01:17:38.800 he watches it

01:17:39.280 often in the

01:17:39.980 office.

01:17:40.360 That was a

01:17:40.800 horrible noise.

01:17:41.460 That was a

01:17:41.760 horrible noise.

01:17:42.540 Do you want to

01:17:43.060 read through yours

01:17:43.640 for a brief

01:17:44.280 second?

01:17:44.640 I got the music

01:17:45.480 from Foot

01:17:46.320 Scream, 0.99

01:17:47.000 didn't I?

01:17:48.100 Basically,

01:17:48.800 the next five

01:17:51.480 comments are all

01:17:52.100 from the engaged

01:17:52.760 few,

01:17:53.360 so I won't read

01:17:54.340 out the name

01:17:54.800 every time.

01:17:55.100 Inside Owens

01:17:56.840 Jones' skull,

01:17:58.080 there were four

01:17:58.600 brain cells

01:17:59.180 fighting for

01:17:59.760 fifth place.

01:18:01.340 It's amazing

01:18:02.120 what the people

01:18:02.720 of Prague could

01:18:03.560 accomplish when

01:18:04.100 they took time

01:18:06.100 out from starting

01:18:08.160 wars,

01:18:09.400 tossing people

01:18:10.060 out windows.

01:18:11.180 Oh,

01:18:11.340 did they do

01:18:11.660 that in Prague?

01:18:12.280 I don't know.

01:18:14.280 And syphilis

01:18:15.400 got the rock

01:18:16.220 up the hill.

01:18:17.400 Sisyphus.

01:18:18.160 Sisyphus got 0.95

01:18:19.220 the rock...

01:18:19.600 Not syphilis.

01:18:20.680 You've not got

01:18:21.220 syphilis.

01:18:21.480 Got the rock

01:18:22.000 up the hill

01:18:22.560 this time,

01:18:23.220 go figure.

01:18:23.680 And whenever

01:18:26.900 I see one of

01:18:27.920 those impromptu

01:18:29.220 Vivaldi recitals,

01:18:30.560 I can't help

01:18:31.120 but think about

01:18:31.700 the totally

01:18:32.160 not racist

01:18:32.720 person of

01:18:33.240 colour who

01:18:34.000 assumes on

01:18:34.560 TikTok that

01:18:35.040 white people 0.98

01:18:35.540 don't have a 1.00

01:18:36.020 culture.

01:18:36.840 Yes,

01:18:37.120 I mean,

01:18:37.320 obviously,

01:18:37.920 we do.

01:18:38.940 He also says,

01:18:39.680 now Dan has

01:18:41.120 changed his

01:18:41.680 name to...

01:18:43.280 Sisyphus.

01:18:44.320 Sisyphus.

01:18:44.860 You know what

01:18:45.780 Sisyphus is,

01:18:46.740 right?

01:18:47.080 Was he the guy

01:18:47.760 with the rock?

01:18:48.520 Yes.

01:18:49.000 Pushing the

01:18:49.380 boulder up the

01:18:49.960 mountain.

01:18:49.980 He was the one

01:18:50.380 who inspired the

01:18:51.180 meme about GDP

01:18:51.900 per capita.

01:18:52.640 He was the one

01:18:53.060 who inspired

01:18:53.900 Fred Durst.

01:18:55.900 What?

01:18:59.860 You're going to

01:19:00.320 have to help

01:19:00.740 me with that

01:19:01.260 one.

01:19:01.780 I'm just going

01:19:02.160 to leave it

01:19:02.580 there.

01:19:03.280 I'm so

01:19:03.900 confused.

01:19:05.500 All right.

01:19:06.240 All right.

01:19:06.680 I've got a

01:19:07.300 mouse now and

01:19:08.300 my laptop ran

01:19:09.140 out of battery.

01:19:10.080 I have no

01:19:10.520 mouse and I

01:19:11.120 must read

01:19:12.020 comments.

01:19:12.720 Have we got

01:19:13.780 some video

01:19:14.120 comments?

01:19:14.860 Oh,

01:19:15.080 yeah,

01:19:15.220 we've got

01:19:15.460 video comments,

01:19:16.080 don't we,

01:19:16.480 Jack?

01:19:16.640 No,

01:19:19.240 we do not.

01:19:21.140 Nobody likes

01:19:22.160 us anymore.

01:19:23.520 It's so over.

01:19:24.480 Fair enough.

01:19:25.020 It's so over.

01:19:26.240 We deserve it.

01:19:27.040 All right.

01:19:27.640 So Thomas

01:19:28.580 Howell says,

01:19:29.420 it's hard to

01:19:29.780 imagine that all

01:19:30.860 that needs to

01:19:31.440 stop this is to

01:19:32.180 eliminate the

01:19:32.680 bureaucratic state

01:19:33.560 first and the

01:19:34.180 rest is easy.

01:19:35.480 Cut the top three

01:19:36.200 layers of the

01:19:36.740 civil service

01:19:37.300 completely.

01:19:38.320 Bring in 0.97

01:19:38.900 bulldoge,

01:19:40.360 British unionizing

01:19:41.380 liability limited

01:19:42.420 doge,

01:19:43.100 and watch

01:19:43.560 immigration,

01:19:44.240 healthcare,

01:19:44.560 and similar

01:19:45.220 fix.

01:19:46.240 I mean,

01:19:46.840 I think there's

01:19:47.300 a lot more

01:19:48.560 needs fixing

01:19:49.300 than just the

01:19:50.000 bureaucracy.

01:19:51.540 A lot of the

01:19:52.080 problems the

01:19:52.580 bureaucracy have

01:19:53.380 created need

01:19:55.100 solving as well,

01:19:55.940 which is one of

01:19:56.460 the other

01:19:56.760 unimaginable

01:19:57.640 cruelties that

01:19:58.400 they've forced

01:19:58.980 upon us,

01:19:59.480 because it

01:19:59.680 won't be nice.

01:20:00.220 I think the

01:20:00.300 only way we

01:20:00.720 can save the

01:20:01.220 British system

01:20:01.940 is if we

01:20:03.280 abolished everything

01:20:04.500 and just started

01:20:05.240 anew, put a

01:20:06.140 sword in the 0.99

01:20:06.620 middle of a

01:20:07.460 coliseum and

01:20:08.180 just said,

01:20:08.720 fight, and

01:20:09.160 whoever the

01:20:09.540 last man is,

01:20:11.000 is our ruler.

01:20:12.940 Can't we just 0.86

01:20:13.560 put a sword in

01:20:14.320 a stone?

01:20:16.140 That's more

01:20:16.600 traditional.

01:20:17.440 And whoever can

01:20:18.120 pull the sword

01:20:18.800 out gets to

01:20:20.000 rulers.

01:20:21.380 Well, after all

01:20:22.040 of your strength

01:20:22.580 training, you're

01:20:24.480 really rigging the

01:20:25.520 game in your

01:20:26.020 favour.

01:20:26.320 No, it's going

01:20:26.660 to be Eddie

01:20:27.020 Hall.

01:20:27.940 It's going to be

01:20:28.800 Eddie Hall.

01:20:29.500 Eddie Hall

01:20:30.100 dictatorship.

01:20:31.260 I'm up for it.

01:20:32.200 It seems like a

01:20:32.740 good chap.

01:20:33.840 Lord Nerovar,

01:20:34.860 the civil service

01:20:35.720 is an exercise in

01:20:36.640 industrialized

01:20:37.380 complacency.

01:20:38.560 They're so secure

01:20:39.420 that they'll never

01:20:39.960 have to face any

01:20:40.720 accountability that

01:20:41.800 they can do

01:20:42.360 literally nothing and

01:20:43.480 be financially

01:20:44.060 secure forever

01:20:45.300 more.

01:20:46.180 Axe.

01:20:46.840 Yes. 1.00

01:20:47.540 Kill it. 1.00

01:20:49.100 Metaphorically. 1.00

01:20:50.100 Kevin Fox.

01:20:51.000 So unskilled care

01:20:52.340 workers get a visa

01:20:53.320 for as long as

01:20:53.980 five years, and

01:20:55.440 they wanted to

01:20:55.960 expand it to

01:20:56.580 ten years.

01:20:57.140 Yeah.

01:20:57.260 I'm working as a

01:20:59.640 qualified teacher in

01:21:00.580 Asia, and I have

01:21:01.480 to renew and pay

01:21:02.600 to renew my visa

01:21:04.000 and work permit

01:21:05.000 every year.

01:21:05.920 If the UK brought

01:21:06.820 that in, it would

01:21:07.840 reduce the number

01:21:08.920 of third world

01:21:09.740 care assistants

01:21:10.460 turning up.

01:21:11.380 The government

01:21:11.700 website also says

01:21:12.740 that applicants

01:21:13.260 have to have a

01:21:14.680 B1 level English

01:21:16.100 to get a visa,

01:21:17.000 so the testing

01:21:17.700 doesn't teach the

01:21:18.360 difference between

01:21:19.240 bleeding and

01:21:19.860 breathing, eh?

01:21:20.480 Yeah, that's what

01:21:21.000 I was thinking

01:21:21.680 during parts of

01:21:22.900 that, especially

01:21:23.620 the rumble rant

01:21:24.680 we got.

01:21:25.060 I remember.

01:21:25.540 Do you remember

01:21:25.980 it, the care

01:21:28.220 home where some

01:21:29.540 of the workers

01:21:30.240 accidentally let

01:21:31.640 an old person 0.90

01:21:32.500 fall down the

01:21:33.220 stairlift?

01:21:33.760 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:21:34.420 And when they

01:21:35.440 rang up the

01:21:36.880 nurse, I think,

01:21:38.520 well, they rang

01:21:39.120 up the hospital,

01:21:39.780 and I think it

01:21:40.340 was that the

01:21:41.060 nurse couldn't 1.00

01:21:41.980 understand if

01:21:42.700 they were saying

01:21:43.140 breathing or

01:21:43.760 bleeding.

01:21:45.280 Pretty critical

01:21:46.040 thing to understand.

01:21:47.640 Yeah, I've

01:21:48.200 forgotten exactly

01:21:48.820 if it was the

01:21:49.440 fault of the

01:21:51.260 nurse for not

01:21:51.820 understanding English

01:21:52.900 or the actual

01:21:53.780 people in the

01:21:54.400 care home for

01:21:54.920 not knowing how

01:21:55.480 the speaking

01:21:55.940 it's probably

01:21:56.980 all of it.

01:21:58.000 If they say

01:21:58.420 they've stopped

01:21:59.040 bleeding, that's

01:22:00.760 a good thing.

01:22:01.560 But if they

01:22:01.900 stop breathing,

01:22:03.120 that's a bad

01:22:03.820 thing.

01:22:05.320 That's the

01:22:05.900 extent of the

01:22:07.220 medical training

01:22:07.740 they get in

01:22:08.480 Sub-Saharan

01:22:08.920 Africa, I

01:22:09.420 think.

01:22:09.560 I can tell

01:22:10.280 why you

01:22:10.680 were not

01:22:11.920 a doctor.

01:22:13.200 I am

01:22:13.620 first aid

01:22:14.160 trained, though.

01:22:14.920 Oh, there

01:22:15.560 you go, there

01:22:16.180 you go.

01:22:16.880 Arizona

01:22:17.240 Desert

01:22:17.680 Rack.

01:22:18.020 I'm confused.

01:22:18.880 How did a

01:22:19.280 butcher afford

01:22:19.940 hundreds of

01:22:20.500 visas?

01:22:21.140 My parents

01:22:21.600 helped sponsor

01:22:22.340 my sister

01:22:22.920 in law, and

01:22:23.900 they could

01:22:24.240 barely afford

01:22:25.000 helping her

01:22:25.620 out.

01:22:25.840 I suppose it

01:22:26.860 was just a

01:22:27.280 very successful

01:22:29.100 legal butchers

01:22:31.880 only engaged in

01:22:32.940 legal activities,

01:22:34.840 which is why

01:22:35.760 they needed an

01:22:36.360 enormous network

01:22:37.300 of 918 other

01:22:39.760 butchers to run

01:22:41.940 their business

01:22:42.380 properly.

01:22:42.800 There's a lot of

01:22:43.320 sheep to rustle

01:22:44.200 in Britain, aren't

01:22:45.780 there?

01:22:46.380 Yes.

01:22:47.200 There's actually

01:22:47.580 been a spate.

01:22:48.260 A lot of

01:22:48.760 snow to

01:22:49.280 shovel as

01:22:49.780 well.

01:22:50.420 There's actually

01:22:50.760 been a spate

01:22:51.500 of sheep

01:22:52.240 rustling from

01:22:53.500 mysterious big

01:22:54.880 vans that

01:22:55.600 travel from

01:22:56.080 far away and

01:22:57.040 scoop up all

01:22:57.720 the sheep and

01:22:58.360 drive back to

01:22:59.100 Birmingham.

01:22:59.720 I can't tell

01:23:01.080 who is doing

01:23:01.920 it.

01:23:02.640 Kevin Fox,

01:23:03.480 I really do

01:23:04.420 think that we

01:23:04.840 should go back

01:23:05.240 to old-fashioned

01:23:05.940 death penalty

01:23:06.880 for cattle 0.92

01:23:07.460 rustling.

01:23:08.480 I think the 0.89

01:23:08.880 death penalty 0.98

01:23:09.320 should be in 0.99

01:23:10.140 place for a

01:23:10.660 lot of things.

01:23:11.440 It should be

01:23:11.580 quite liberally

01:23:12.240 used, yes.

01:23:13.180 Kevin Fox,

01:23:13.920 the migrants 0.88

01:23:14.380 taking care jobs

01:23:15.140 is also taking

01:23:15.780 jobs from

01:23:16.260 mothers whose

01:23:16.820 kids are in

01:23:17.300 full-time

01:23:17.680 schooling.

01:23:18.260 These were

01:23:18.620 jobs that

01:23:19.060 could be

01:23:19.320 tailored around

01:23:20.000 school hours.

01:23:21.100 Excellent point.

01:23:22.280 Steve Stevens,

01:23:23.400 also you should

01:23:24.200 watch Adolescence

01:23:25.100 for no other

01:23:25.620 reason than

01:23:26.060 seeing how

01:23:26.440 telling the

01:23:26.880 writing is on

01:23:27.520 certain topics.

01:23:28.400 Episode 2

01:23:29.020 more specifically.

01:23:29.960 No.

01:23:31.020 You should

01:23:31.480 watch it.

01:23:32.000 No.

01:23:32.780 You watch it.

01:23:33.700 No.

01:23:34.560 Eloise says, 0.97

01:23:35.540 it kind of seems

01:23:36.300 like it's only

01:23:36.880 toxic masculinity 0.92

01:23:37.780 when a white 0.88

01:23:38.360 guy wants to

01:23:38.860 enact his

01:23:39.360 sexuality or is

01:23:40.440 a bit more

01:23:41.000 brash.

01:23:42.140 Yeah, I think 0.81

01:23:42.620 you've unlocked

01:23:43.000 the secret there.

01:23:44.120 Josh, go

01:23:44.780 through some of

01:23:45.260 yours.

01:23:45.660 A somewhere

01:23:46.200 person says,

01:23:46.920 how to spot a

01:23:47.540 fake conservative.

01:23:48.700 Are they on

01:23:49.140 mainstream telly?

01:23:50.400 In brackets,

01:23:51.140 not just the

01:23:51.760 controlled opposition

01:23:52.440 channels like

01:23:53.080 GB News.

01:23:54.120 Do they regularly

01:23:54.780 get invited back?

01:23:56.340 If yes, they're at

01:23:57.480 best controlled

01:23:58.080 opposition but most

01:23:59.000 likely fake.

01:24:00.060 Which is true,

01:24:01.040 yes.

01:24:01.400 Yeah, seems fair to

01:24:02.120 me. 1.00

01:24:02.620 Russian Garbage 1.00

01:24:03.140 Human says, 0.99

01:24:03.720 that school bit.

01:24:04.460 I went to such an

01:24:05.460 inner city school

01:24:06.080 where I was the

01:24:06.640 only white kid in

01:24:07.300 my class in a

01:24:08.360 brand new state-of-the-art

01:24:09.520 £50 million school.

01:24:11.320 For every lesson,

01:24:12.100 we only had maybe

01:24:13.120 7-10 minutes of

01:24:14.960 actual work due to

01:24:16.020 endless disruption,

01:24:17.300 fights and chaos.

01:24:18.660 For certain

01:24:19.140 demographics, her

01:24:20.240 school is the only

01:24:21.040 way to make them

01:24:21.680 learn.

01:24:22.200 Dan is right.

01:24:23.360 You haven't been to

01:24:24.180 such schools, you've

01:24:25.080 no idea how bad it

01:24:26.080 gets.

01:24:26.460 Yes, because I went

01:24:27.460 to a...

01:24:28.000 In fact, there was

01:24:28.780 like one black 1.00

01:24:29.520 person in the

01:24:30.140 entire school year

01:24:31.500 and they got

01:24:32.160 bullied relentlessly.

01:24:34.380 I can completely

01:24:36.120 understand what you

01:24:37.020 and Dan are saying,

01:24:37.920 which is that with

01:24:38.580 these kinds of

01:24:39.200 demographics, yeah,

01:24:40.380 you need ridiculously

01:24:41.220 strict schools.

01:24:42.360 What I'm saying is

01:24:43.420 there are different

01:24:44.880 ways to never need

01:24:46.160 these schools in

01:24:47.040 this country again

01:24:47.860 because I don't...

01:24:48.380 Not having them in

01:24:48.940 the country.

01:24:48.980 I don't like the

01:24:50.240 fact that there are

01:24:51.000 schools that have to

01:24:51.900 operate like that in

01:24:53.060 this country.

01:24:53.740 It's very un-English, 1.00

01:24:55.320 isn't it?

01:24:55.400 One wolf is saying,

01:24:56.620 well, that is how we

01:24:57.740 are, so that's how

01:24:58.580 schools have to be.

01:25:00.120 And the other wolf is

01:25:00.860 saying, well, why

01:25:01.580 don't we just deport 0.94

01:25:02.400 everybody?

01:25:03.240 Why don't we just

01:25:03.780 re-migrate them?

01:25:05.100 And the second wolf

01:25:05.700 is much more base

01:25:07.000 than Chad.

01:25:07.740 Send them home

01:25:09.500 again.

01:25:11.720 Michael Drybelbis

01:25:13.420 says, gentle

01:25:14.700 parenting produces

01:25:15.680 happier kids.

01:25:16.740 Bugger that, real

01:25:17.420 parenting produces

01:25:18.220 successful kids that

01:25:19.540 contribute to humanity

01:25:20.560 and society.

01:25:21.820 Gentle parenting is

01:25:22.780 why the Western

01:25:23.260 world continues to

01:25:24.100 slouch towards

01:25:24.680 oblivion.

01:25:25.440 Very true.

01:25:26.460 And then I'll read

01:25:28.020 one more from

01:25:28.680 Sophie Liv.

01:25:29.480 Oh man, this lady.

01:25:30.840 I saw her on

01:25:31.700 Trigger Normies and

01:25:33.520 she was so praised

01:25:34.720 for her tactics and

01:25:37.700 I kept thinking it's

01:25:38.580 so weird.

01:25:39.720 She's submitting to

01:25:40.660 the foreigners all 0.99

01:25:41.340 the time.

01:25:41.740 She is one.

01:25:42.220 Oh, they don't want

01:25:43.700 pork, so everybody

01:25:44.460 has to eat vegetarian.

01:25:45.800 What?

01:25:47.180 Pescatarian, so you 0.93

01:25:48.140 get a lovely serving

01:25:49.140 of fish every day.

01:25:51.960 It's mostly vegetables

01:25:53.280 though.

01:25:53.540 And you choose not

01:25:54.640 to kill yourself. 0.65

01:25:55.940 Although I do like 0.99

01:25:56.660 banning of prayer

01:25:57.360 rooms at schools,

01:25:58.380 you are here to

01:25:59.100 study.

01:26:00.580 It might upset some

01:26:01.480 Americans.

01:26:01.980 It's not banning of

01:26:02.860 prayer rooms, it's not 0.99

01:26:03.980 allowing them to pray

01:26:04.820 separately if you're the

01:26:06.020 children.

01:26:06.440 So they're still

01:26:08.040 allowed to pray, but

01:26:09.260 they're just not

01:26:09.820 allowed to do it in a

01:26:11.960 room full of their 1.00

01:26:12.860 religious kin, I

01:26:14.020 suppose.

01:26:15.080 Take us away, Dan.

01:26:16.840 Lady Dragonhawk says,

01:26:18.580 thank you for the

01:26:19.380 white pill segment

01:26:20.180 about culture.

01:26:21.040 It made my chest

01:26:21.780 hurt, but in a good

01:26:22.540 way.

01:26:23.180 And that is the very

01:26:24.000 first time that Lady 1.00

01:26:25.120 Dragonhawk has ever

01:26:26.020 said anything nice to

01:26:26.920 me, so I appreciate

01:26:28.100 that very much. 0.99

01:26:29.820 Russian Garbage 1.00

01:26:30.920 Human says, I cannot 1.00

01:26:32.380 overstate how much I

01:26:33.520 loved that music clip.

01:26:34.940 Yes, it was.

01:26:36.560 It was wonderful,

01:26:37.340 wasn't it?

01:26:38.860 A somewhere person

01:26:39.780 says, what are the

01:26:41.020 greatest aspects of

01:26:41.920 older cathedrals?

01:26:42.780 Some of them still

01:26:43.520 took multiple

01:26:44.280 lifetimes to finish.

01:26:45.380 Imagine in medieval

01:26:46.620 times starting to

01:26:47.460 build something maybe

01:26:48.320 your great-grandchildren

01:26:49.340 would see finished in

01:26:50.320 their old age.

01:26:51.280 Yes, quite a...

01:26:51.980 How long did the

01:26:52.900 massive cathedral in

01:26:53.980 Barcelona take to

01:26:55.220 finish?

01:26:55.600 I think that was

01:26:56.160 centuries, wasn't it?

01:26:57.240 Still not finished.

01:26:58.460 Oh, yeah, it is.

01:27:00.380 Societies grow great

01:27:01.340 when they build

01:27:01.840 cathedrals whose

01:27:03.100 pews they will 0.82

01:27:04.780 never sit?

01:27:05.560 I don't know.

01:27:06.220 It doesn't quite

01:27:06.600 work, does it?

01:27:07.700 It's close enough.

01:27:08.680 Close enough.

01:27:09.360 It made sense to me.

01:27:12.160 Roman Observer

01:27:13.100 says, in 2018, the

01:27:14.520 European Commissioner

01:27:15.460 for Budget, Gunther

01:27:17.120 Utica, said when we

01:27:19.820 elect an anti-EU

01:27:21.080 government, the

01:27:21.640 markets will teach

01:27:22.400 Italians to vote

01:27:23.400 the right way.

01:27:24.680 I guess for the

01:27:25.300 post-Brexit UK, it 0.81

01:27:26.600 goes mass migration

01:27:27.640 will teach Britons to 0.89

01:27:28.780 vote the right way.

01:27:30.620 Yes. 1.00

01:27:32.060 Russian Garbage 1.00

01:27:33.440 says, I've 0.99

01:27:34.260 listened to

01:27:34.700 Vivaldi for

01:27:35.180 maybe over 100

01:27:35.900 hours in my

01:27:36.360 headphones and

01:27:36.820 I've been about

01:27:37.320 to a dozen

01:27:37.840 Vivaldi concerts

01:27:39.000 up and down

01:27:39.480 Britain.

01:27:39.960 That clip nearly 0.83

01:27:40.900 made me tear up

01:27:41.700 in the office.

01:27:42.220 I'm not musically

01:27:42.800 qualified, but I've

01:27:43.980 heard these pieces

01:27:44.520 so many times I

01:27:45.400 can hear any

01:27:45.840 perfection as well.

01:27:46.680 For kids, this

01:27:47.140 was a marvellous

01:27:47.900 rendition.

01:27:49.160 I can't believe

01:27:49.740 how they hit the

01:27:50.320 notes and how

01:27:50.820 much they follow

01:27:51.400 the dynamics of

01:27:52.200 the piece.

01:27:52.800 Truly marvellous.

01:27:54.680 Europe is worth

01:27:55.360 saving, Elsland

01:27:56.400 Rouse.

01:27:57.220 That's one thing

01:27:57.740 about classical

01:27:58.280 music is that the

01:27:59.560 reason that it

01:28:00.160 still has legs is

01:28:01.820 that it's so

01:28:03.260 intricate that you

01:28:04.260 can inject enough

01:28:05.480 of your own

01:28:06.080 playing style and

01:28:06.920 your own emotion

01:28:07.560 into it that you

01:28:08.560 can make it your

01:28:09.300 own and it's still

01:28:10.300 recognisable.

01:28:11.740 It's sort of

01:28:12.300 similar to the

01:28:12.940 folk tradition,

01:28:14.140 isn't it?

01:28:14.460 That there's an

01:28:15.100 original piece but

01:28:15.960 you can make it

01:28:16.620 your own and it's

01:28:17.380 still a continuity

01:28:18.200 without breaking the

01:28:20.040 sort of chain of

01:28:20.860 being but you still

01:28:22.340 have to express

01:28:23.460 yourself as well.

01:28:24.920 It's got the best

01:28:25.420 of all worlds.

01:28:26.140 Speaking of

01:28:26.540 playing style,

01:28:27.300 North FC,

01:28:28.060 Zuma says,

01:28:28.540 Michelangelo is

01:28:29.840 23 when he

01:28:30.640 sculpted the

01:28:32.160 Pieta.

01:28:33.320 Here's me

01:28:33.840 painting Warhammer.

01:28:35.480 So you can

01:28:36.800 bring your

01:28:37.140 play style.

01:28:37.860 I'm sure you're

01:28:38.300 doing a great

01:28:38.820 job.

01:28:39.300 You can bring

01:28:39.640 your play style

01:28:40.160 to Warhammer,

01:28:40.880 if not

01:28:41.320 Vivaldi.

01:28:42.240 To be fair,

01:28:42.840 I've seen

01:28:43.220 Warhammer painters

01:28:44.000 and they're very

01:28:44.500 impressive.

01:28:45.440 I'm surprised at

01:28:46.480 how good the

01:28:47.080 average Warhammer

01:28:47.780 painter is.

01:28:49.040 If I were to

01:28:49.580 do it, it'd

01:28:49.980 look like a

01:28:50.660 child that was

01:28:51.600 also blind.

01:28:52.640 I'm terrible,

01:28:53.300 that's why I

01:28:53.820 stopped.

01:28:54.880 Never tried.

01:28:55.920 Also, that

01:28:56.540 mixture, once

01:28:58.760 you've finished

01:28:59.280 painting, the

01:29:00.280 thing that you

01:29:01.120 put over it to

01:29:01.840 add the finishing

01:29:02.420 touches, really

01:29:03.620 does a lot of

01:29:04.240 the heavy lifting.

01:29:05.940 Really does a

01:29:06.720 lot of the work

01:29:07.300 for you.

01:29:07.880 If you get a

01:29:08.300 big huff of it,

01:29:09.060 you feel all

01:29:10.540 funny.

01:29:13.100 Ah,

01:29:13.600 Connoisseur,

01:29:14.400 I see.

01:29:15.020 From Vivaldi

01:29:15.700 cathedrals to

01:29:17.180 Warhammer to

01:29:17.840 sniffing glue.

01:29:18.620 Well done,

01:29:19.040 Josh.

01:29:19.460 Thank you for

01:29:19.900 the tone lift.

01:29:22.020 Final thing,

01:29:22.980 someone online

01:29:23.480 says,

01:29:23.840 Britain is worth

01:29:24.640 saving,

01:29:25.200 the US is

01:29:25.740 worth saving,

01:29:26.260 Europe, on

01:29:26.740 the other

01:29:26.980 hand, is

01:29:27.320 where the

01:29:27.600 cancer of

01:29:28.020 communism is

01:29:28.640 cultivated and

01:29:29.800 metastasized.

01:29:31.680 I disagree with

01:29:34.600 this completely.

01:29:36.600 Europe is one of

01:29:37.420 the bulwarks,

01:29:38.080 well was one of

01:29:38.860 the bulwarks

01:29:39.380 against communism

01:29:40.420 until the US

01:29:41.500 and the Soviets

01:29:42.260 decided to pincer

01:29:43.420 movement the

01:29:44.020 whole thing,

01:29:44.600 alongside the

01:29:45.260 British, to

01:29:46.160 infect all of

01:29:47.240 Eastern Europe

01:29:47.900 with communism.

01:29:49.380 The French are 0.98

01:29:50.000 a little bit mad 0.93

01:29:51.000 and we don't take

01:29:51.780 them seriously and

01:29:52.840 they did that

01:29:53.300 whole French

01:29:53.840 revolution thing,

01:29:54.820 but they were

01:29:55.600 not communists

01:29:56.480 and they still

01:29:57.520 are not

01:29:57.900 communists.

01:29:58.680 They're just a

01:29:59.360 little bit

01:30:00.020 weird.

01:30:00.880 Socialist.

01:30:02.140 Well, yeah, but

01:30:03.200 all of their

01:30:04.820 parties are just,

01:30:06.060 it's just like,

01:30:06.700 which flavour of

01:30:07.400 culture do you

01:30:08.080 want with your

01:30:08.640 socialism?

01:30:09.880 I'd prefer a

01:30:10.700 right-wing culture

01:30:11.540 with my socialism,

01:30:12.520 thank you.

01:30:12.800 You too.

01:30:13.560 If I'm going to

01:30:14.440 have to choose

01:30:14.960 between flavours

01:30:15.600 of socialism,

01:30:16.420 you know,

01:30:16.760 the one that

01:30:17.360 doesn't hate me

01:30:18.020 in my history.

01:30:19.360 So, a national

01:30:20.080 one then?

01:30:21.340 Let's not say

01:30:22.200 that.

01:30:22.840 I knew that you

01:30:23.720 were going to

01:30:24.200 do that, Dan.

01:30:26.080 No, I never

01:30:26.640 said that.

01:30:28.260 You did leave

01:30:28.940 yourself a tiny

01:30:29.860 bit open.

01:30:30.340 I am a

01:30:31.640 British liberal

01:30:32.700 imperialist from 0.88

01:30:33.880 the mid-19th

01:30:34.720 century.

01:30:35.360 I should be

01:30:35.740 subjugating

01:30:36.460 minorities in the

01:30:38.000 subcontinent right

01:30:38.900 now.

01:30:39.560 That's my...

01:30:40.560 Good save.

01:30:43.040 Putting your

01:30:43.720 hat out for

01:30:44.280 Viceroy of India

01:30:45.060 then.

01:30:45.920 Absolutely.

01:30:46.760 Absolutely.

01:30:47.420 Who's going to

01:30:47.780 stop me?

01:30:48.980 No, I'd

01:30:50.060 recommend you

01:30:50.500 for the post.

01:30:51.060 Thank you very

01:30:51.560 much, Dan.

01:30:52.200 Diarrhea will

01:30:52.780 stop you.

01:30:54.420 And on that

01:30:55.360 note, I think

01:30:56.400 that's where we

01:30:56.940 should stop before

01:30:58.040 it goes a little

01:30:58.760 bit too far now.

01:31:00.540 So, thank you

01:31:01.240 very much for

01:31:01.820 watching.

01:31:02.360 Thank you from

01:31:02.960 Josh and thank

01:31:04.000 you from Dan who

01:31:04.880 might not make it

01:31:05.820 till the end of

01:31:06.380 the day so

01:31:06.880 everybody wish him

01:31:07.660 good luck in the

01:31:08.320 comments.

01:31:08.340 Join him while

01:31:08.860 he's still here.

01:31:09.600 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:10.700 Getting old.

01:31:11.380 Take care.

01:31:12.040 We'll see you
