The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1137

00:00:00.000 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen welcome to the podcast of the lotus eaters for monday the

00:00:04.040 7th of april 2025 i'm john mostelios and steve and today we're going to be talking about

00:00:09.820 what's happening in france after le pen was convicted yeah the aftermath the aftermath of

00:00:15.680 it um why the british state is just openly promoting islam at this point and how glasgow

00:00:21.540 decided to become a sanctuary city and that worked out so brilliantly no announcements today so

00:00:27.920 let's uh let's just crack on right so about a week ago marie le pen was convicted under the charge of 0.98

00:00:35.520 embezzling funds from the eu now she will not be able to run for the french presidency for 2027

00:00:44.020 she says she is going to appeal this decision but looks like she is not going to be able to run and

00:00:51.740 i'm not optimistic that the french judicial system is going to overturn the ruling

00:00:57.400 something tells me that they won't right so she was fined with about a hundred thousand euros and

00:01:04.780 she's going to spend i think about two years on the house arrest house arrest i think so shocking yes 1.00

00:01:12.540 absolutely shocking as if she's some sort of danger to the public or something these are the the reports

00:01:18.920 i've read yeah no no i i'm not i'm not i'm not questioning whether that's correct or not i'm just

00:01:23.260 disgusted by it last week uh stephen did an excellent segment on um on the ruling it was the

00:01:30.960 very day i think it happened so it was the right moment for that segment to be released so definitely

00:01:36.900 watch it and uh we spoke about several things but one of the issues was that the accusations weren't

00:01:43.520 particularly plausible or that the accusations are entirely arbitrary because she was essentially

00:01:50.860 accused for mishandling eu funds because she got money from the eu and part of that money was

00:01:58.400 spent in france which is also part of the eu but it was essentially a good opportunity for

00:02:06.940 the judiciary yeah to present it as if she was doing anti-eu work and the issue that i i found is that

00:02:14.760 when you get eu funding funding is divided into three categories and one of those categories is that

00:02:19.620 as a group in the european parliament you're allocated a huge sum of money for the group

00:02:24.180 and which you can then use that money allocated to parties within the group to fund employees and

00:02:30.420 activities within it which is what she did the question that i always find difficult about that

00:02:35.620 is that the money comes in for a civil servant who's allocated to your group from your party and

00:02:41.700 they have to sign everything off it doesn't just because you're the leader it doesn't mean that

00:02:46.880 you're signing off all these contracts and that is what i found disgusting about it because it's

00:02:51.760 like saying every chief executive is in charge of a business and anything any fraud that goes below

00:02:57.920 that undertaken by anyone and i'm not suggesting everyone was committing fraud or anyone was but

00:03:03.760 that means that you're responsible for every person down below you that's what she's been charged with

00:03:10.000 right so the next date to remember is june 2026 because she is going to appeal the ban with the

00:03:15.840 paris court of appeal and uh if she were to win the appeal she could still run but people are 0.81

00:03:22.800 pessimistic with respect to with respect to that right so le pen says she is going to keep on fighting

00:03:30.000 and there was a pro le pen rally in uh in paris and there were people who were protesting in favor of

00:03:38.080 her she gave a speech also jordan bardella gave a speech who is the person who is the president of the

00:03:44.640 national rally party and he's 29 years old he has a very big tick tock following but also really

00:03:54.080 important social media presence and a lot of people especially zoomers are looking up to him to be the 1.00

00:03:59.600 sort of prosumer french politician right so there was a massive protest in favor of le pen you can

00:04:08.320 see here it's pretty huge photos and she says here i can express my gratitude to you for tremendous

00:04:15.520 popular absurge in favor of democracy and the law that you embodied throughout france and to which your

00:04:20.720 large and fervent present today bears witness and she says several other stuff she says also here it's

00:04:28.320 impossible for me to hide my emotion at seeing you here and in all our departments standing by

00:04:33.360 our side to defend what this decision has trampled on the foot and what i hold dear above all else

00:04:38.720 my people my country and my honor rights can i can i just say this this just seems like obvious law

00:04:45.040 fair to me i mean the the allocate the allegation of mishap or the conviction of misallocation of funds

00:04:52.640 i suspect is incredibly trivial in the ground screaming things and i imagine that many many many

00:04:58.080 many meps would be like oh god but did i do this now i have to double check on everything and oh

00:05:03.120 what i you know i did this to hire an assistant there when i should have used that money for this

00:05:07.440 and it just it's not corruption in the sort of grand scheme of things that we would envisage as

00:05:13.440 being corruption and it's not corruption because that's what we saw over political parties and i think

00:05:17.440 when we went through the piece last week i ran through all the political parties that have been attacked

00:05:22.240 by the european union in terms of investigations and all of them were either those on the right

00:05:28.240 or the what they regarded the extreme left for doing exactly the same types of activities that the green

00:05:33.920 party does that the socialists do that the aldi did you know there's no way that i've ever seen

00:05:40.000 any investigations into their activities and i find that's why i agree with you that this is lawfare and

00:05:46.720 it's extreme and even even if even if i mean i'm sure she's guilty of what they're accusing her of

00:05:53.200 being guilty of uh to me it just seems like it could have been some sort of administrative error

00:05:58.160 uh even if that was the case why such a harsh punishment uh okay well you've you've misallocated

00:06:04.240 some funds okay well then you have to pay them back if you have some sort of fine you have a you

00:06:08.960 have some sort of appropriate uh punishment for what she's done two years house arrest and ban from

00:06:15.360 running from politics for the next five years this seems very evidently designed to keep her out of

00:06:20.720 politics she's in the lead it's definitely a political decision and something tells me that

00:06:25.200 if any other politician did that any leader of government he wouldn't get the blame yeah someone

00:06:31.120 else would be blamed well let's look look at what happened to sarkozy how much you outsource you

00:06:36.480 outsource responsibilities to other people sarkozy took a huge amount of money and he did not get banned

00:06:44.720 politics in fact he became president afterwards christine lagarde was involved in a huge fraud and

00:06:50.240 what was her the consequence for her she was given a huge job looking after the money of our of europe 1.00

00:06:58.000 to be honest and this this is why it's particularly attacking marie le pen because she is so successful

00:07:04.400 and has that chance of actually winning and the popular choice yeah and the punishment is just so

00:07:09.840 disproportionate it just reveals itself to be law fair to me anyway no i i agree with you there was

00:07:15.920 a counter protest an anti-marie le pen protest that turned out to be a bit of a flop not many people went

00:07:23.280 there um and uh you have uh someone there saying that eric coquerel from the lfi i think that's a leftist

00:07:34.640 party saying i think everyone should have been there not many people were enough there there

00:07:40.160 there ought to have been a much larger communist presence communist presence and the crying of

00:07:46.400 marie le pen right so we're gonna talk about uh the who is happy with this who is cheering and the

00:07:54.880 argument they say and i want to i want to sell it this way i think hamza yusuf is happy yeah and i want

00:08:02.640 to play this video and actually listen to something happy he looks delighted there this is the the

00:08:08.240 delighted expression that's right yeah but i want people to listen precisely to the words he uses

00:08:15.680 because i think they reveal something really important

00:08:21.200 the far right are losing don't get me wrong they're far from out but this week has proven that we can

00:08:29.440 defeat the far right and hit them where it hurts elon musk has hinted he will leave as a trump advisor next month

00:08:39.680 of course he says it was all part of his grand plan and has nothing to do with the 36

00:08:46.800 percent drop in tesla shares in the last quarter there's nothing to do the fact that tesla has had some

00:08:54.560 460 billion us dollars this uh sort of uh derails the conversation but did you get something he said

00:09:03.440 there that this proves that the far right can be defeated yes as if the only way that you can win

00:09:10.880 against marie le pen is not by elections but by banning her yeah no that's literally what he said

00:09:17.680 that is a very important point that's literally what he's saying and he's smirking about it he's

00:09:22.880 being smug so what what he's saying is no no no all of the systems are controlled by people who agree

00:09:28.960 with me and therefore i can smugly wink at you as they come down and actually criminalize you

00:09:35.760 rather than engaging the democratic process he's happy to use administrative warfare exactly and i think

00:09:41.920 that this is incidental it expresses a very deep trend within people who think like hamza yousef and

00:09:49.600 i think that those who are in the top leadership positions of the eu do we've been seeing it since

00:09:55.040 brexit the numbers of mps that had some form of allegation never proven but it went through an

00:10:03.120 administrative process and sometimes they tried to criminalize those who are brexiteers they were out

00:10:09.360 never got succeeded they tried it with trump we've seen it with the romanian uh president we've

00:10:14.400 watched it in many many individuals thinking about simply banning the afd that's right it's crazy and

00:10:20.480 they know it's because they know that the tide is turning against them exactly so it looks like they

00:10:27.120 absolutely they know definitely that they are entirely unpopular and they cannot win in a fair fight

00:10:33.120 yeah right so we have an article by the economist uh that um hosted an oxford professor yeah called

00:10:44.400 tarik abu chadi who in the i'm sorry but every time i hear about this man who in the article says that

00:10:52.720 this isn't the opinion of the of the economist but he says basically that this is really good for

00:10:59.920 liberal democracy oh yeah why i he has several arguments that i want to share with you and

00:11:06.080 listen to what you have to say but what is interesting let us look at here it has 11 11 000

00:11:14.400 views and 64 likes that's low that shows a lot of how popular this position is but okay let's also

00:11:23.920 bear in mind that twitter isn't isn't uh representative of the entire world but it looks like

00:11:31.920 what hamza yusuf says shows that in this case we can safely say that this is ridiculous well

00:11:39.440 people can click on the article and um what but it's paywalled but i have three points that he raises

00:11:46.720 number one the law needs to be applied so this is what the rule of law is all about with the heaviest hand

00:11:53.520 possible number two it will lessen support for the national riley front has it done that i don't

00:12:00.960 think it has i mean as i understand it she's at 37 percent of the polls at the moment she is and also

00:12:06.880 jordan bardella is also leading the polls in questions whether people are going to support him but he says

00:12:14.800 that uh french politics is very much uh person oriented and uh if marie le pen doesn't run not

00:12:23.120 many people are gonna rally to vote for her party but he also says that the other person is a puppet of

00:12:30.240 marie le pen that's one of their next arguments we we're just seeing that i think is it in serbia or

00:12:36.800 montenegro where the president has just uh removed the prime minister and put someone in who's a physician

00:12:43.920 yeah and they're saying well serving needles is not enough skill to be able to become prime minister

00:12:50.640 well what's that of being a lawyer you know the same sort of thing so they use the language that he's

00:12:55.520 the puppet of the president this also

00:13:00.000 is i mean if your first argument is french politics is very personal and then your second

00:13:05.680 argument is people won't like this guy because he's the direct agent of le pen no that you know

00:13:11.120 he's like her closest ally like if it's very personal then he is inheriting her legacy

00:13:16.560 yeah and also he says that uh court rule court decisions are important moments in expressing norms

00:13:22.720 they signal to citizens what is and isn't accepted in a society well look on the they do on the principle

00:13:30.880 number one the law should be applied and it does you know send out signals it's hard to argue with those

00:13:37.200 very general principles that those on the left the right and the center would agree on but that's

00:13:41.680 not what this is about this is about whether first of all it is actually true that she did this if it

00:13:48.080 is whether the sentence is commensurate with what was actually offended and i think really for him to

00:13:55.280 suggest that banning for five years house arrest for two when she's only got a measly hundred thousand

00:14:01.920 euro fine it's pathetic it shows clearly that is not what principle one and three is about in their

00:14:08.880 eyes yeah but moreover how is this good how is this good for liberal democracy because not only does

00:14:14.720 this look like a naked attempt for the system to try and penalize and keep out someone who might

00:14:22.000 want to change the current reigning order and paradigm of the country but it's doing it in the face of

00:14:28.400 popular appeal so what what is happening here is essentially going to be a third of france is

00:14:34.400 going to say right so the democratic system can't work for us oh that's a good idea that's good for

00:14:40.080 liberal democracy isn't it disenfranchising morally a third of the country more than so yeah you'll never

00:14:45.920 get the results you think you can have through the ballot box well if it's not the ballot box how do

00:14:50.880 they get their results you think they're just going to give up on it and go home it is not good for

00:14:55.360 liberal democracy it's good for their liberal democracy it's good for the administrative state

00:15:00.080 that's what it's good for yes and what i want to say is that the extra thing to add to what you said

00:15:10.400 is that you can't say that i represent a liberal institutional order a liberal democratic institutional

00:15:17.840 order and suddenly completely ignore the fact that 37 of people are going to think that the

00:15:25.520 institutions are completely delegitimized you can't have a viable democratic order you can have in fact

00:15:32.160 any any political order with widespread delegitimization people in in germany know it much better they

00:15:40.880 they say the same thing with the afd when the afd was in 12.5 percent they said we can't do this

00:15:48.000 because one out of eight people will will think that the institutions are delegitimate imagine doing

00:15:54.400 it with 37 percent yeah this is ridiculous it's madness have you been seeing how the french have been 1.00

00:16:01.360 trying to argue that all the people in the country are not actually happy about marie le pen challenging

00:16:09.360 the decision have you seen the polls that are supposed to no i haven't saying 70 of people are

00:16:14.320 saying well you know the sentence is correct and they picked up an old lady said i was a

00:16:19.680 a fan of marie le pen but i don't think she should challenge yeah and i think that's one of the things

00:16:24.320 that they do remember for brexit they turned around and said oh we've got buyer's remorse and then

00:16:29.520 the conservatives buyer remorse now we've got trump remorse picking out one individual are you seeing

00:16:35.520 that it's everything to create a narrative and this is how they control the way that

00:16:39.840 politics goes uh but thankfully we have a large social media presence and we get to fight back on

00:16:45.200 this right so if the appeal doesn't work the next person is going to be jordan bordella jordan bordella

00:16:53.920 is the president of the party and uh he's projected to win the french presidency as well in 2027 so

00:17:03.040 it really didn't work so i have i have i have a few things to say about jordan bordella for people

00:17:11.920 who don't know him so he's 29 years old he was born in 1995 to parents of italian origin he has a

00:17:20.480 really large social media presence people say that they have he has more than two million people on

00:17:25.680 tiktok um he has no experience in government so far he dropped out of university and entered the fr the

00:17:35.360 national rally party at i think the age of 17 and slowly and steadily he has risen to its ranks and

00:17:43.920 he's considered to be a lot people are a bit split brained on this there is a portion of

00:17:50.160 the right that says he's really good and careful and he doesn't have the baggage or the negative

00:17:59.120 association that the party had so he's sort of cleansing the party in people's mind and then

00:18:05.360 there are the there's the other segment of the right that says he is actually too much of a macronist

00:18:13.520 and he's pandering he's too much of a centrist he's pandering to the to the institutions of a

00:18:21.680 society that has led to the problem but it's it doesn't he doesn't represent a revolutionary

00:18:28.480 perspective doesn't have the solution so they say that he's very meticulous very he doesn't make

00:18:35.040 mistakes he's very disciplined and uh some people on the right would say maybe we want someone with more

00:18:41.680 far in his belly he doesn't seem like the guy who wants to you know crush the system this is a this

00:18:48.720 is a big debate and i think that this debate is a one that every right wing in general has in every

00:18:55.680 country there are people who are more in favor of coalition building and discipline there are others

00:19:01.440 who are more in favor of a bit more radical but i think there's a language there's a difference here we

00:19:07.760 we want somebody that can actually win and then make the radical change in the way and we've seen

00:19:12.400 it in terms of trump where he is very radical and says it in the way and he's got an opportunity

00:19:18.240 because of the political system out there to be able to get the maga movement to push it through

00:19:22.720 we don't necessarily have that so i'd rather have someone who's slightly sneaky pretending at the

00:19:27.360 background that you know we can get through and then actually just hammer them afterwards yeah and

00:19:32.080 bardello i think i'm not sure of whether he spent a little bit of time in the european parliament

00:19:37.760 as an assistant he has yes i think he did i think he was around when he was 23 around when i was

00:19:43.040 there uh and and i think like he he was pretty much controlled him and the the is it the niece

00:19:48.960 of uh marie lou was it a daughter or niece yeah i know the two of them were recognized to be like

00:19:54.480 really quite firebrand at that time when they were younger and both of them if you've noticed have

00:19:59.280 been calmed down well this is uh didn't napoleon say never trust a man under 40 during a revolution

00:20:06.400 right i i get the feeling that the zoomers are a lot more revolutionary than we give them yeah i i

00:20:11.680 hope he is but i want to bring back the conversation to something you said about trump because i think

00:20:17.280 the american context is very different to the european context and what is considered right-wing

00:20:22.960 in the us isn't necessarily what is considered right-wing in europe so i don't think that it may be the

00:20:30.080 case that bordella's rhetoric is more right to the right than trump's is but people say trump is radical

00:20:37.920 and uh bordella isn't or people in the in europe aren't uh as writing as they say i think that people

00:20:45.760 need to bear in mind that europe and america are different oh yeah yeah but our radicalization

00:20:52.160 is also part of the pan system of taking away power from the administrative state we don't want 0.92

00:20:59.120 to see them controlling our civil service anymore we don't want to have uh quangos and think their 1.00

00:21:04.480 think tanks that are paid for by those quangos controlling our thought processes or the policies 1.00

00:21:10.320 that's why we need someone radically enough to actually turn around and say we need to introduce

00:21:14.160 laws that actually can be implemented immediately to remove their powers that's where the difficulty is

00:21:20.160 and in europe it's even harder to do so because their civil service is even more entrenched look

00:21:25.200 at the sorbonne that's the entire point of the european union absolutely a continent-wide bureaucracy

00:21:30.400 that can never be challenged absolutely and that's where they're going to have problems but if they

00:21:35.200 can link up if only some of these parties could link up and say the big issue is the eu's civil

00:21:41.280 service and let's pull it out with our own then that's the real radicalization but i don't think

00:21:46.880 you're going to get that in europe unfortunately yeah so i think that the

00:21:54.000 i think that despite brexit sorry carry on yeah no i think that the debate between whether someone

00:21:59.360 should be a bit more careful and more disciplinarian in his approach and and measured and that between

00:22:05.680 being a bit more radical and showing will to to break the system is one that we can have it endlessly

00:22:13.520 and we will be having it and different different uh countries will probably require different

00:22:21.120 answers to this i have this by my friend rafael who is skeptical of the of the national rally party

00:22:30.720 and he thinks that late late lately people should go and read it he thinks that basically that the the

00:22:37.920 party is dragging itself to the left and that uh he she's not doing a lot of farage is she 0.99

00:22:45.120 he he told his view rafael's view is that she isn't as bad as farage but she's close to it but

00:22:51.840 he thinks that basically bordella is going to be like macron really which arguably could be worse

00:22:58.800 so what it says the leftization of the party is going well i've heard complaints about the influx of

00:23:03.360 leftist militants bringing their council culture into the national rally but for the electorate

00:23:08.800 the national rally of le pen is still the national front of her father they don't follow politics

00:23:14.000 closely don't really see the trend and he says basically that what le pen did for 15 years is

00:23:20.720 what farage is doing now she's thriving on the memory of her father which is still associated to the

00:23:25.840 party in the mind of the older electorate and her spokesman jordan bordella makes funny tiktok videos for

00:23:32.240 zoomers and he says that essentially that this uh he doesn't he does he's very skeptical of this

00:23:39.040 of this strategy now personally i i don't know he's he's french has much better idea of what is going

00:23:45.680 on there and uh yeah but i i think rafael's voice is a is an interesting one to bear in mind i think that

00:23:54.400 what concerns me there is saying it's not a grassroots bottom-up organization anymore

00:23:58.400 yeah i mean there is an element when any political party that suddenly the the top takes over because

00:24:04.160 they've grown and they've become so big and i recognize that in in the national party but what

00:24:10.640 is important is whether they're really engaging with those people who supported them and built them

00:24:15.840 whether their views their radicalized ideas are still being encapsulated in the policies and that's

00:24:21.680 where farage is failing completely as we can completely see it's not just moving to the left he's removing

00:24:27.200 the very fire that's in the belly of most people to be able to succeed and change in this country

00:24:32.080 i don't even know what nigel wants to do i don't even know what his plan is house of lords and get 0.89

00:24:37.360 a really nice tv slot exactly beyond beyond that you know what what actual radical change what what any

00:24:43.120 change what would he do when he was in government uh and honestly it seems to from his his just his

00:24:48.640 speeches it seems to be to the left of starmer yeah i i couldn't agree more i i look at the man that

00:24:55.120 kind of encouraged me to step into the field and many others that i saw and he is not the individual

00:25:01.040 that we saw but what just it breaks my heart and i hope that they're not going to break the hearts of

00:25:05.600 the the french supporters of marie le pen with bardella is that you just don't feel that he's going to make

00:25:11.120 any of those massive achievements that we want and he'll sell them down the line as he did with the

00:25:15.360 the brexit supporters when he took their money and said you can stand oh we're closing the doors now

00:25:20.160 because of a deal with the tories i just feel that that's where they're going i hope not i pray for

00:25:26.080 those people who are supporting them and backing them with all their energy and enthusiasm but if

00:25:31.200 that's what's happening in france as well that that's a sad state of affairs i think but uh i'll end

00:25:36.240 the segment by saying that um it's easy to get demoralized but also demoralization works until it

00:25:43.760 doesn't and a lot of people are getting demoralized with the completely anti-liberal and anti-democratic

00:25:52.480 rulings of the eu but um they are also getting really enraged with it so i think at some point

00:26:01.520 demoralization people will stop being demoralized and become very enraged so i think that this is

00:26:07.200 something politicians need to bear in mind well this in fact goes to the comment that the engaged few

00:26:13.040 are sent in it remains true that when men have denied a voice they will of painful necessity

00:26:17.920 reach for their swords that's exactly the point so to have a professor in oxford saying oh no this is

00:26:24.160 good for liberal democracy it's like well that's an almost childlike perspective on anything everyone

00:26:29.280 knows that's not good for democracy when the major parties start banning political figures or the party

00:26:35.920 themselves so it's the sign of a civilization whose political system is like a spinning top starting to

00:26:43.040 lose its um uh the energy that keeps it moving uh and uh inexio says given all the lib dems and

00:26:49.680 politicians he's brought into reform lately in his talking points farage isn't right-wing and reform

00:26:54.160 supporters are leaving and looking for an actual right-wing party yes they are

00:27:00.000 anyway so the question that has sprung to the forefront of my mind in the last week or so is why is the

00:27:07.920 british state so vociferously promoting islam because it has been embarrassing to see if nothing else but 1.00

00:27:15.920 also suspect and weird and i don't like it because as the census in 2021 showed us actually britain has a

00:27:26.160 very small percentage of muslims uh 6.5 percent uh you wouldn't know given the representation that

00:27:34.080 they are given in the public sphere uh that 93.5 percent of people in this country are not muslims

00:27:41.040 you'd think that this was a broadly muslim country and this is why americans are constantly going on

00:27:45.520 about oh britain's been taken over by caliphate it's like no nowhere near actually it's just our government

00:27:51.760 love islam our state institutions love islam and they feel that it's essentially a form of virtue

00:27:58.320 signaling to signal to islam even though that's a tiny constituency of the population and they're

00:28:04.320 centered in major a couple of major urban areas so you travel most of the country you'll never see a

00:28:12.000 muslim go to bradford or manchester or somewhere like that yes you'll see lots of muslims um but they're

00:28:18.240 very disconnected from the rest of the country so it's very strange that the government has decided

00:28:22.720 no we're going to use these people to project out into the rest of the nation i mean for example

00:28:29.280 uh britain is 12 scottish you don't see a saint andrew's cross everywhere you don't hear about

00:28:36.240 scottish days of the holy days or holidays or anything like this uh you you don't hear it yet

00:28:41.200 there are twice as many scots as there are muslims in this country what is going on 1.00

00:28:44.640 why is this the case and i just wanted to explore that bit um but like i said there's a reason that

00:28:49.520 the americans think that we've been conquered uh king charles the royal family charles a famous

00:28:54.320 orientalist rumors that he's converted to islam i find plausible frankly um but it's probably not that

00:29:01.520 he's converted to islam it's probably just that he's had a kind of fetish for things from the east for

00:29:06.640 a long time and he has a wide open opportunity in the political environment to project that it's

00:29:14.320 completely fine and normal and accepted by all of the people around him to fetishize islam and

00:29:20.480 so to post things like this of course they don't post about lent no that was interesting i when i'm

00:29:25.520 we looked at the labor party they didn't seem to put any posts out for lent or for easter at all but

00:29:30.640 they were quite happy to do this yep that's exactly similarly when i was looking at aid murray i i

00:29:36.480 didn't see anything about lent on the royal family's websites either no and neither the labor party the

00:29:42.640 current governing well the current current governing party they have never made a post about lent a

00:29:48.640 similar image on both of those sites uh yeah yeah that it's a similar sort of it's almost looks as

00:29:55.520 though it's been coordinated by some aid mubarak public relations officer for the government yeah

00:30:01.440 undoubtedly has they've undoubtedly got some sort of islamic public relations you know the muslim council

00:30:07.920 of britain have recommended some little group or something i don't know you know i'm making this up

00:30:11.920 but like it's going to be something like that uh where they'll just get it's going right okay yeah this

00:30:17.360 this will be something that essentially promotes islam and muslims in britain and the labor party in many

00:30:23.920 constituencies rely on these and they're already losing muslim votes so this isn't going to work

00:30:29.040 it's not going to last i think there was a guardian article speaking about someone who was a cook a

00:30:35.200 chef during ramadan talking about his plight saying how no one knows about the plight of a chef during

00:30:40.960 ramadan and there was massive backlash everyone said no one cares i don't care again 6.5 of the population

00:30:48.320 you know i'd rather hear about haggis on burns night than hear about bloody aid mubarak from 0.98

00:30:54.400 bloody muslims uh but anyway no this the labor party of course like i said have never posted about lent 0.99

00:31:00.080 even though there are many more christians in britain than there are muslims but it doesn't 1.00

00:31:03.920 matter because that's not what this is about starma held this iftar event in parliament i don't know what

00:31:10.080 iftar is i don't care and i'm just amazed by the massive people behind that event yeah exactly you

00:31:16.400 you can see that starma is courting a client group yes here is a minority that we've brought into

00:31:21.200 britain and we're trying to keep on side but of course if the independent muslim mps the gaza

00:31:27.200 caucus has shown us anything they're not going to stay there and laymen know this this is electorally

00:31:33.760 just ridiculous it's suicidal yeah because they want the vote but if mass migration continues at some

00:31:41.360 point the other side is going to reach a critical mass and they're going to make parties of the

00:31:46.240 their own yes and they will want to get the votes and we're going to see that they're already i'm

00:31:50.800 just going to mute that but you see this sort of joy on his face sorry carry on like he's genuinely

00:31:55.200 thrilled to be doing this he's he he loves the fact that he gets to pander to a foreign minority group 0.58

00:32:01.120 but you're absolutely right they are they are going to start forming their own islamic party like

00:32:05.680 they've done in belgium uh and we are going to see that as being a core part of our politics going

00:32:11.440 forward how many have they got they've got four at the moment uh well five with jeremy corbyn five

00:32:15.600 with jeremy corbyn but once they get to it i think it's a level of 10 in in as mps they get a lot more

00:32:22.080 money a lot more funding and a lot more power within there as we saw with the that's why the

00:32:26.960 grouping of trying to make sure that reform didn't form a group of 10. and i can see that in the next

00:32:32.400 election i mean there's at least they're they're calculating was it 25 potential seats they can get if

00:32:38.240 they join together now so it's understandable why the labor party are essentially projecting

00:32:43.840 themselves as just being the party of islam as far as anyone would take from what they're saying here

00:32:50.640 again as inevitable west points out it's mother's day and lent but you choose ramadan of british mothers

00:32:56.000 and christians uh yes because isla labor want to frame themselves as the party of islam to capture 0.65

00:33:02.640 muslim votes however they aren't themselves muslims if i wanted if i was a muslim i want

00:33:08.640 muslim concerns represented in the british parliament why would i vote for an englishman

00:33:12.560 like keir starmer have you exactly have you ever seen a leftist trying to approach christianity

00:33:18.240 electorally maybe they have is just no the way i see it i just can't picture it i know you're exactly

00:33:24.240 they have no no no no they haven't they never do they hate christianity uh they only ever treat

00:33:28.800 it subversively but you're you're jumping the gun here when you get to this in a little bit but as

00:33:33.600 you can see kissed armor as the holy month of ramadan ends i wish muslims in the uk and across

00:33:37.520 the world a blessed and joyful eid al fitter eid mubarak oh well then that's so so unbelievably

00:33:45.760 progressive of uk uh anyway so the next one is of course the bbc now this was a bit of a strange

00:33:52.320 thing so as you can see here eid celebration can be lonely for muslim reverts and you might be thinking

00:33:58.880 what's a revert like i did think that i was very confused by it what what was so revert is a term

00:34:05.280 that some muslims use uh in fact you can see from the uh community note uh because they pretend that 0.74

00:34:13.440 they think that all people are in fact islamic until they stop being muslim and so if someone

00:34:19.360 converts to islam they're actually reverting to islam uh basically it's a very cheap way of talking

00:34:24.560 of talking past the sale and it's not persuasive to anyone and it's the kind of framing that only

00:34:30.320 exclusively exists within the islamic mindset of course because do jehovah's witnesses or is it

00:34:37.280 the seventh day eventist have something like you can only be one of them and they they're trying to

00:34:41.440 take all the blood samples are they maybe the opposite sides i i don't know um finding your true

00:34:47.280 self again but the point is you wouldn't do you wouldn't say this and you wouldn't call this

00:34:55.040 as you can say you can be lonely for muslim reverts as people of charity you wouldn't you 0.99

00:34:58.560 wouldn't portray this as being the framing of islam unless you weren't essentially within the mindset so

00:35:05.200 i'm actually really i was born a muslim and one day if i come back i'm a reaver that's what they'll claim

00:35:10.960 yes and like i said it's a very cheap way of talking past the sale and it's kind of embarrassing

00:35:16.080 actually because no one believes it but you'll notice that they changed the headline for the

00:35:20.080 actual article because there's a lot of backlash saying what are you an islamic institution now bbc

00:35:24.960 because this is the islamic narrative yeah this is the the the thing you say from the position of

00:35:30.160 being within islam and that would imply the bbc itself was of course an islamic thing again it's

00:35:37.760 it's a it's a very subtle and subversive thing and the backlash at least caused them to change it

00:35:44.640 um but what's interesting about this is that um this uh this one woman uh was a convert to islam

00:35:52.400 they actually use converted to islam in the article instead of revert but they say well it's isolating

00:35:57.840 and learning it's okay well they say when people come into islam they kind of lose themselves it's

00:36:04.000 they feel like they need to adapt to be someone else like for example it might be a new way of

00:36:08.320 cooking a new way of dressing we say look you can do that but be you can be who you are and so

00:36:13.840 basically what she's saying here is essentially i had to convert to arabic culture right that's

00:36:19.680 what's happening when they convert to islam and so hayley oliver from peterborough a different woman

00:36:25.440 i think tells us that she was 15 years old when she converted to islam in 1998 after being inspired

00:36:31.040 by her muslim friends it felt very isolated peterborough for anyone who doesn't know is one

00:36:36.320 of those towns that has a very sizable muslim majority that kind of usually uh occupy kind of

00:36:42.960 separate ethnic enclave in the town she says as a new muslim you're trying to find your feet

00:36:49.120 find your identity which is why you need support around you she says her family thought she'd been

00:36:53.920 brainwashed and she was kicked out of the house after the 9-11 attacks and she says you do feel

00:36:59.440 alone you don't feel totally accepted from the born muslims you don't feel accepted from at all from 0.99

00:37:05.040 your own kind isn't that interesting well that's right and i i don't see why that's a surprise for

00:37:11.680 her to accept that because most people when they are in different cultures like that particularly in

00:37:16.720 the middle east they do look differently upon those who are you know converted into theirs i mean i look at

00:37:24.160 and read a lot about malcolm x and his conversion the initial conversion they're actually very concerned

00:37:29.760 about him but once he was seen to be rising accepting islam he was suddenly accepted really

00:37:36.400 brutally and very very successfully because he he was now a marketing tool for them that's interesting

00:37:42.800 that um essentially there's still a hierarchy of validity inside of the religion and so she says

00:37:51.840 i question what am i who are my people and the answer is miss oliver you're english your people are the

00:37:57.920 english why have you gone over to the pakistanis and it's obviously because of social pressure because

00:38:04.000 of the diversification of the united kingdom and uh she says well look now i feel like reverts

00:38:09.200 do our own thing instead of looking for acceptance so what they've done is applied to this the intersectional

00:38:14.400 identity creation process this is now there's a now a separate identity called reverts and there's

00:38:20.400 a very small minority constituency within islam of reverts and they're all going to band together in like

00:38:25.840 online groups and things to essentially carve out a separate identity from muslim so you can see how

00:38:32.160 the subversive nature of leftism is already inside islam and chipping away at its foundations because i 0.99

00:38:39.840 can't see that happening for for long somehow i get a feeling that they may come down upon that very

00:38:45.120 very harsh maybe when they're in charge but uh who knows but the point is you can see the subversive

00:38:50.960 deconstructive nature of leftism everywhere even within islam which is why i've got a bet with a 1.00

00:38:56.160 friend of mine that actually islam's going to lose to social justice uh he doesn't think so and i guess

00:39:01.440 we'll see anyway so uh they they put she also points out that uh eid is quite boring and uh she

00:39:08.720 doesn't really like it but what are you gonna do so there was a there was a chap who writes for five

00:39:13.680 pillars uh who deleted a tweet so i can't i can't get i can't and obviously knew you were coming on

00:39:20.880 the show so he's gonna be ridiculed enough i don't know why he deleted this tweet i have it written

00:39:25.520 down i didn't take a screenshot of it unfortunately um and it's not on the way back machine something

00:39:30.160 it actually it wasn't a very extreme tweet or anything like that right uh he said the bbc has

00:39:35.120 changed this headline from revert to convert after right-wing nutters complained revert implied

00:39:39.600 we're not all born muslim right-wing nutters would be correct on that uh he says well facts are facts

00:39:47.280 we are all born in a state of islamic purity before many of us succumb to un-islamic ideologies again

00:39:53.520 talking process like no that's embarrassing i don't believe in islamic purity there's not such 1.00

00:39:58.240 i was just going to ask what is islamic purity there's no such thing it looks like some people

00:40:02.880 want to rediscover their childhood yeah become children again and they attach islam to it for some 0.75

00:40:08.080 reason it never works it never works you can't step into the same do you think taking on your

00:40:14.000 point about the the kind of leftism and the socialism being in inculcating itself across all the spectrum

00:40:20.160 of our society that they're now even when they're trying to speak like this islamic purity it's just 0.97

00:40:26.480 seeping through into their head in ridiculous sentences i mean maybe i certainly wouldn't there's

00:40:31.760 a lack of logic in that yeah uh but the but the point being uh no one believes you because i mean 0.92

00:40:37.920 you could just apply that to anything you know well all children are born in a state of buddhist purity

00:40:42.400 and you would have to come down to yeah but i have a an intrinsic prejudice towards islam because i'm

00:40:47.120 a muslim so okay but that guy's got an intrinsic prejudice towards buddhism because he's a buddhist how 1.00

00:40:51.280 there's no right or wrong here again it's just lazy propaganda but um but anyway so uh the bbc

00:40:58.400 big on islam uh 40 minutes of eid live from the central bradford uh bradford central mosque uh which

00:41:07.040 pick of the day apparently why why why are they doing this for six percent of the population where

00:41:13.120 is the saint andrew's day from edinburgh cathedral on bbc like what like this particular group is being

00:41:20.640 pushed very very hard by the bbc and they have been for years by the way here's a series name 2014

00:41:26.160 make me a muslim the documentary follows five girls they embrace islam so what what you're seeing

00:41:30.880 here the bbc is by far the largest media outlet in the united kingdom for anyone doesn't know

00:41:35.840 what you're seeing here is a subtle attempt at persuading people to go along with it

00:41:40.800 uh so not only is this framed incredibly positively it's a positive thing that all of these people are

00:41:45.920 discovering as they're reverting to islam but they gain status out of it they gain attention out of it 0.66

00:41:51.360 you'll get a bbc documentary that's in your favor published that millions of people will watch

00:41:57.120 i mean they're probably paid to do it it's amazing propaganda it's amazing isn't it amazing

00:42:01.600 propaganda yes saint andrew was far right no doubt that he was but you don't exactly you don't get uh

00:42:08.320 you know what was the scottish presbyterianism is it uh that's the scottish the scottish church

00:42:14.640 isn't it the church of scott yeah so you you don't have the the bbc trying to get people to

00:42:19.040 convert to presbyterianism even though they're twice the number of muslims in this country why 1.00

00:42:23.040 not why not my journey into presbyterianism apart from the fact that and anyway i'm just gonna make

00:42:29.200 a joke uh there's no need to make jokes about scottish presbyterian yeah i mean to scotland yeah

00:42:34.720 no i i mean like hey look i'm english like you know the church of england is fit for destruction at this

00:42:40.240 point but the the point being you can see how this is being put out not only with the intention of oh look

00:42:45.440 we just want to promote this person but also to show other people you have a path that you can

00:42:50.160 travel down to that will get affirmative uh responses from the establishment here starma will 0.98

00:42:56.720 start posting about your religion you'll get a thing with the bbc you'll be accepted by the

00:43:01.440 structures and the powers that be rather than being on the outside of that where you're just

00:43:05.680 ignored you're just called far right it's like celebrate mubarak for

00:43:09.440 for id mubarak for female liberation yeah kind of but that level of logic and plausibility but

00:43:16.640 it's not even that it's do you want to be within the circle of grace that is promoted by the state

00:43:22.080 because i tell you what english culture isn't go to they're building a massive mosque this i find

00:43:28.000 absolutely someone who loves the lake district i'm appalled by this how they've managed to get this

00:43:32.640 there are virtually no muslims yes that's right so this probably qatar funded mosque

00:43:37.600 uh has planning permission and uh this is pissed a lot of people off frankly um but notice how

00:43:45.120 the lead of this story far right group visit mosque site condemned yeah so do you want to be condemned

00:43:51.200 by the power that it should be you just some random individual who doesn't like what's happening

00:43:55.040 your country do you want to be condemned by these massive multi-million pound institutions the prime

00:44:01.040 minister the this the the sort of social elite of the country do you want to be condemned or do you

00:44:07.360 want to be praised where are the incentives which one are you going to find more appealing if you're

00:44:13.440 just some random person in the street you know and so i mean this is just just insufferable frankly

00:44:19.920 so there's a group of muslim doctors who are spearheading these plans uh britain first held a

00:44:24.000 demonstration outside of them with a banner saying no mosque here and they'd created a petition that uh to

00:44:29.760 revoke the planning permission that had been signed by 70 000 people uh but of course uh they're all

00:44:36.080 far right yeah they're all far right and nobody nobody cared um i think there was a thing in this as

00:44:40.800 well that was very interesting um which was uh that it were it had been uh there we go so apparently

00:44:49.920 supply chains were hesitant about being involved in the project and mr malik here says it's not that i

00:44:56.080 believe there was discrimination on their part i think they were more concerned about the

00:44:58.960 repercussions that it may have to their businesses yeah you're damn right if i thought that you were

00:45:04.080 part of a business that was complicit in building a giant mosque in the lake district i wouldn't i

00:45:08.400 wouldn't buy from you i'd buy from anyone else frankly like i'm sorry i this i think that's something

00:45:14.880 we need to start thinking about really anyway so how many people convert to islam every year this surely

00:45:20.800 represents an organic upswing in what the british people are like doesn't it doesn't it no probably

00:45:27.040 about 5 000 a year most of them women who marry muslim men now this is from 2013 this may have

00:45:32.560 changed i couldn't find anything more recent on the number of people who've converted to islam but

00:45:38.000 given how we've had millions of them immigrating here and the population is still only 6.5 percent

00:45:44.320 it suggests that the british public themselves are not on mass converting and so this is a very

00:45:48.800 artificial thing being promoted by the establishment uh the reason that these women mostly convert by 1.00

00:45:54.160 the way is they marry muslim men and they just say look you need to convert to islam so they do 0.99

00:45:57.920 um but even even the right wing like this in britain even the right wing in britain

00:46:04.560 genuflect to islam for example if you're a member of reform and you say that islam is a

00:46:10.720 false religion uh you will get uh suspended from the party if we can get the mirror up 0.93

00:46:18.800 there we go so uh this um this a candidate called miss thomas uh the sunday mirror learned that she 1.00

00:46:27.760 had repeatedly posted on facebook that islam is a false religion

00:46:33.440 so nigel farage took action against that where's the freedom of speech there mr farage it's not even 0.64

00:46:37.840 that how dare you not affirm islam you can't be a member of reform uh they and she she had posted an

00:46:43.920 online image claiming the muslim people are trying to take control of the uk and impose sharia law

00:46:48.000 well that is definitely true at least in parts of the country where they have de facto sharia law

00:46:54.000 in these areas and uh she had depicted it opposed another image that depicted islam as a snake devouring

00:47:00.880 the person feeding it from a bottle and after alerting the party to the post reform spokesman said

00:47:06.160 yes she's been fired out of a cannon into the sun uh she's been deselected and we're not uh

00:47:11.200 we've withdrawn all support for her candidacy uh and so great that's that's just great isn't it so

00:47:17.680 even the right-wing party the far right party as we hear from led by donkeys constantly uh will

00:47:24.640 fire you if you are critical of a religion but only one one religion only one religion that's true 0.99

00:47:32.400 i bet if they're critical of the church of england they won't get fired good point uh so the point is

00:47:37.920 the entire establishment seems to be desperate to affirm islam promote islam and get you to convert 0.94

00:47:44.480 to islam and so the answer is why why are they doing this the question is why uh and i think the

00:47:50.720 answer to that is because it has become socially unacceptable to push woke now the powers that be

00:47:58.160 and the institutions the universities i think that they want to do everything that is subversive against

00:48:04.000 the country undermine the morale of the native population to make it so they won't politically

00:48:09.440 organize in their own interests and they will end up essentially losing their own personal identities

00:48:15.680 and losing the collective identity of their countries and woke was a vector for them to do this

00:48:20.560 we can attack britain using woke well that's become unpopular people are no we're very aware of what

00:48:25.440 woke is now we're not having it you'll lose people's attention lose their business be unable to

00:48:31.600 spread propaganda to them and so now i think they've flipped and gone right okay well you're not you're

00:48:36.320 not racist it's not what it's not racist to be against woke but it is racist to be against islam 0.95

00:48:41.600 i think he uh what happens here is that the there is a backlash against woke in in the uk because of

00:48:49.600 islam and there was this contradiction between the the very left you know the trans stuff and the

00:48:56.720 the lgbtq plus wing of leftism and the more islam loving wing of leftism i think they only ever used

00:49:05.280 islam as a tool against the majority population though i don't think they really loved islam i think 0.99

00:49:12.640 though that they now the islamists are so many now and their numbers are growing and they see that 0.71

00:49:19.920 appealing to the lgbtq wing doesn't get them any sort of true support so in order for to not lose

00:49:28.320 the muslims there's also two funding arms the lgbtb wing is is very powerful economically but still

00:49:34.960 particularly in the us a lot of funding coming through as we know when you know when it came to

00:49:40.080 what they called equal marriage that was funded by people like elton john and those who were coming

00:49:44.560 over from the us who are actors and actresses over there and what you also have is a very powerful

00:49:50.080 economic wing of the islamists and you talked about who's funding the mosque that's we know where it's

00:49:56.000 come where the funding is coming from it's either saudi arabia it's the uae they're funding those and

00:50:00.800 qatar so they're all funding those mosques around the country because they see that as a way of having 0.90

00:50:06.560 their own external influence globally they're no different than what they saw turkey doing 300 years ago

00:50:12.320 under the ottoman empire this is their turn as they see it and the the leftists are the traitors

00:50:16.880 who are holding open the gates essentially uh essentially it's a kind of civilizational 0.99

00:50:21.360 shit test uh what they're saying is you will not stand up for yourselves and therefore we will destroy 0.93

00:50:27.200 you yeah um this is what it comes down to and so we kind of need to unapologetically say no you've 0.99

00:50:33.040 hit on an incredibly important point that i've been considering for quite some time is why do we not have a

00:50:38.640 definition that's legally enforceable in this country of what who is when you're called you are

00:50:44.000 a right-wing fascist or you are a racist the only person who's ever been able to take that on is lawrence

00:50:49.280 fox and he spent a lot of money and the court didn't decline to accept that the words used against him 0.93

00:50:55.440 were racist and indeed that you can lose your livelihood for being called racist and so we need to

00:51:03.200 have somebody with deep pockets to challenge that in the courts first of all push it all the way up

00:51:08.880 but if the courts simply decide against you then that leaves us legally defenseless

00:51:13.520 against these sorts true but what it also does it opens up a door and that door says that you no longer

00:51:18.960 accept that what is a clear definition of racism you're saying it's open-ended to however you feel

00:51:24.720 and that's unacceptable in today's common law and i i do believe we need to have somebody

00:51:30.480 who can take that challenge on anyway uh the point being i think that this is just part of the

00:51:37.280 continual subversive nature of the people who hate britain who somehow find themselves in charge of our

00:51:43.360 entire country uh next year says uh a couple of things i'll scroll down to find um uh sorry mark arabic

00:51:52.560 says ethno fetishism is the term take it freely good to see mr wolf again regards uh next year says this is

00:51:59.200 about undermining everything christian they hate christianity starman knows we're built on

00:52:03.520 christianity but to get to the utopia and the cultural revolution he wants he must undermine 0.95

00:52:07.200 christianity yeah this is the thing they don't love islam they just know it's a tool by which the 1.00

00:52:10.880 christians can be demoralized and destroyed and they think that if there is any kind of problem

00:52:15.920 in the future that they are going to be able to win uh yes but they don't think that there's going

00:52:22.000 to be that i'm sure that they think the muslims will essentially give up their faith in the same

00:52:26.720 way the christians did yeah um and in exo also says that christ is lord so um sigil stone says

00:52:33.600 we're all born in the state of islamic purity until we discover the corrupting power of bacon 1.00

00:52:37.280 no there's no such thing as in the state of islamic purity uh see in exo the uk needs its own 0.97

00:52:43.200 reconquista no we don't we're not controlled by muslims the muslims are a tiny percent of the

00:52:47.760 population it's just that the left-wing governments and establishments are using islam as a kind of

00:52:52.960 smokescreen to make you think this but it's just not true they're just giving them special privileges

00:52:59.120 anyway let's move on so what's happening in glasgow yeah i think i think this was when we

00:53:05.200 we come to what you're talking about somebody who absolutely no i don't know how to if you

00:53:12.080 you can teach me that for next next time but what we have here is another example of an

00:53:18.640 organization that hates the british state in this case it's the scottish national party

00:53:24.720 and they've made it explicit they're all about destroying england they don't like britain they

00:53:28.400 don't like england and one of the things i think they they caught on to is a long time ago was that

00:53:33.600 about refugees and asylum seekers so we have uh glasgow has been as you see here with scotland

00:53:41.680 standing together with the scottish refugee council which receives millions in in funding

00:53:47.760 from the state it says we stand together with refugees and as you slip down through there you'll 1.00

00:53:55.360 you'll see all these people saying aye to welcome refugees and as we're moving up through it again

00:54:01.680 going down to the the language that they're heading thanks so much um just underneath there

00:54:07.840 thanks so much for joining us together together with refugees now you look at that that's going back 1.00

00:54:12.560 to 2021 and there were hundreds of peoples gathering outside the trade hall with various organizations

00:54:18.480 the key fruits and i'll come back to that is a coalition of 300 organizations so refugee council

00:54:25.840 based in glasgow coming out supporting masses of refugees coming into scotland and then you go to

00:54:32.880 the next one we have the s p has welcomed asylum and uh a welcome welcome sign this was i found shocking

00:54:40.800 when doing the research on this was human traffickers and people smugglers with an asylum proposal

00:54:47.120 that allows asylum seekers to write to work in scotland as soon as they arrive amazing so you get here

00:54:55.280 and you can get a job and not only that those jobs are open in local authorities and guess what the

00:55:02.160 ngos and the organizations that are actually also being funded by those local authorities to help support

00:55:09.040 more refugees so you can get a job with the government or an ngo that's their proposals 1.00

00:55:16.240 and they were labeled absurd as we we come through it's in the scottish daily express on this so you'll

00:55:21.600 see that there are various people who oppose this but then we go on to the next one is the scottish

00:55:28.000 government it comes down here and we slow this we believe refugees this is the asylum and refugees

00:55:33.440 from the scottish government ministry of equalities that refugees and people seeking asylum should be

00:55:38.640 welcomed i i think that we've seen that kind of welcome in britain it's our historical element i

00:55:43.920 accept that there's a need sometimes to support and integrate into our communities from day one so

00:55:51.120 what did they do they created a new scots refugee integration strategy sorry i just hate this new scots 0.65

00:55:59.200 all right yeah right so he has lots of organizations again once ago the scott's scottish government uh

00:56:09.040 the coslo which is basically the all the local authorities in scotland scottish refugee council

00:56:15.760 partnered with public private and third sector that third sector is a phrase i've always disliked it's

00:56:21.200 just basically an opportunity for people to receive funding from local authorities where they wouldn't get

00:56:27.680 funding from the taxpayer in the first place but we can give it down and when we look at who they are

00:56:32.480 so we have the refugee council and i think i went down to an image that said um after after that that

00:56:38.720 showed uh that 300 organizations uh going through um i think we might go on to that um the the basic

00:56:48.880 principle is what you're looking at is scotland has built itself around this idea that we're going to

00:56:54.080 accept refugees we're big and welcoming we've created a new integration strategy which shows

00:57:00.080 that we can try and get you into work we want a policy to enable you to have jobs as soon as you

00:57:05.840 arrive look how well we are and i'm going to move on so before we move on i just there's something about

00:57:12.560 the new scott that i'm i'm hung up on that i can't get past that's that that's exactly that is exactly one

00:57:20.160 of the points that i'm looking oh sorry am i no you're no you're right and i'm glad you've picked

00:57:24.160 up on that because that was one of the things that i found absolutely fascinating i find it kind

00:57:29.280 disgusting scottish is a costume yeah but not not only that like who are the new scots well they're

00:57:35.920 anyone that's the thing a refugee is not anyone from any one place right it's it's anyone from anywhere

00:57:40.480 but like if i if i went to greece i wouldn't call myself a new greek no because it seems very i use greece

00:57:46.320 all the time because i really like greece and you're greek uh and so it's it's like it's a

00:57:51.680 convenient thing to use right but i out of respect i wouldn't try and essentially eliminate the

00:57:58.320 boundary of what makes someone greek compared to what's to someone not being greek right

00:58:04.960 it is it's mostly disrespectful it's disrespectful to scotland but this is planned

00:58:10.000 it's part it's just a view that they see newcomers all being welcomed as scottish as if

00:58:16.160 they are the kind of historical element that goes all the way back to those who fought the romans

00:58:22.640 who were up there fighting the danes as if that sort of person is a scot and what i see from it is

00:58:29.040 actually a view that we're we're dismissing history yeah there's no ancestry here there's no dna you're

00:58:35.680 just scottish because you're living in scotland changing yeah it's like you can be whoever you want

00:58:42.080 to be you support another team yeah there's something more to it than that though because

00:58:47.200 the they do this with sweden and germany as well which are themselves quite strong identities right

00:58:53.760 you know it's it's obvious what a swede is and what a german is it's obviously what a scot is and

00:58:58.000 so they go okay these are new scots a subcategory of scots but they never say the new english right

00:59:03.760 whereas english is quite a weak identity these days and i find it but it's also

00:59:08.320 kind of undesirable identity for them they don't like the english whereas you can see they like the

00:59:16.160 scots and so because of a kind of favoritism that the state displays towards scotland and like the

00:59:22.320 scotch national party and the scotch government like they're they're actually essentially destroying

00:59:27.920 the nature of scotch identity but passing us over because they assume our identity is essentially dead

00:59:33.440 well i think that fits in to where i i trailed back in history to where do i think that they

00:59:41.120 really started en masse to attack the british culture and being english and that goes back to

00:59:47.440 barbara roche's speech when she was home secretary in 2001 where where she put out a statement that we're

00:59:54.960 all immigrants in britain yes and from that point on she then led it with three speeches and various

01:00:01.600 organizations over the next two years and that mantra that you know all brits were immigrants

01:00:08.400 was the point at which they then start to talk about integration accepting more people and the

01:00:13.920 british culture is nothing about where we were background and i see this new scots as an element 0.78

01:00:19.920 of exactly that extension we now need to go and say there's no welsh there's no scots but what this is

01:00:25.920 doing is essentially to say that the welsh and the scots and of course the english have no right to their

01:00:30.720 own country right no no you're a nation of immigrants like we're not the united states 1.00

01:00:35.280 you've taken this narrative wholesale from america but we aren't the american i mean the welsh in

01:00:39.520 particular have been here since time immemorial the english have been here for a thousand five hundred

01:00:43.440 years and the scots were about the same so it's it's just a way of disinheriting us from our ancient

01:00:50.080 lands although i would would say and i'm going to argue when i'm when my book is eventually published on

01:00:54.640 on this particular issue that the what will hate the scots and the welsh will hate is that they were the 1.00

01:00:59.440 first english because it was us fighting uh the romans and us fighting the danes that pushed ourselves

01:01:06.400 out to wales to cornwall and to scotland we were the originals so they were actually the first english

01:01:13.040 well i wouldn't call these over the britons right yeah but well i i accept that we only became really

01:01:18.720 english once we we started to get the english kings coming in we had the formation of it it's literally

01:01:23.280 the anglo-saxons that's right the the old english word for the the uh ethnic anglo-saxons was angleson

01:01:30.080 and that's where english come have you ever been to angleson i've got a story about that i can say

01:01:35.920 offline but if we go back then i want to go on to to the next next next next uh link

01:01:44.480 after that we we have this now this has been coming for a while and i find this you've got to link it

01:01:50.880 into the two things we've just been talking about first of all we have glasgow saying we welcome

01:01:57.120 refugees we're a sanctuary city look how brilliant they are we can bring them in second we're going

01:02:02.480 to create an integration process for the new scots we're going to give them jobs and opportunities

01:02:07.360 but by the way now there are more of them coming in and the council's costing uh says it's costing

01:02:14.480 them tens of millions as homeless refugees are granted asylum into into the into the country and

01:02:21.520 that's because not only are they being dispersed from the government in terms of dispersal programs

01:02:28.160 like the afghan refugee resettlement scheme but they're also being dispersed under the scheme for

01:02:34.880 housing where asylums arrive and mere's group is one of the biggest groups that organizes 1.00

01:02:39.920 housings in scotland they're filling up the hotels but as the country is and this is exactly what

01:02:47.520 they've been wanting it goes through the asylum process grants so many of them the right to remain

01:02:54.240 they're staying in scotland they're absolutely staying in scotland and that's where they're

01:02:58.160 getting their money and that's it because what does the scottish government got and i don't know

01:03:02.320 whether i had this down in the in an image or not after this um or whether it's just another link but

01:03:08.880 there is a really important point about um oh this is right so it goes on they brought it on

01:03:14.080 themselves i think this should be an image coming up about the fresh talent initiative we get that

01:03:20.720 please samson and it was just a link that i put in just because the fresh talent initiative you've

01:03:25.680 just gone through the link to it the fresh talent initiative goes back to 2010 feeds in with the new

01:03:33.120 scottish initiative and it says just as a summary if we don't get that look at scotland our population

01:03:40.800 is declining we therefore need to bring in more people into the country and therefore fund it for

01:03:47.280 our taxes to help get all of these in so we're linking into that so we do have what i view is a very

01:03:54.480 core strategy of scotland to displace the scots and here it is fresh talent initiative this fostered

01:04:03.200 development of a more inclusive attitude towards refugees and a real difference between scottish

01:04:08.960 politics and that of westminster westminster that recognizes at that particular time that we should

01:04:14.880 try and manage my immigration and look at controlling costs scotland saying we need to attract more skilled

01:04:21.840 migrant workers then they have the new scots initiative the reality they're now going back 1.00

01:04:27.760 onto this what they're going is they're not getting the skilled migrants really yeah not at

01:04:33.360 all giving a bunch of handouts didn't attract skilled migrants this happens across europe

01:04:38.160 and and i will go into that now this in this image and this is one of the reasons why they're

01:04:42.240 struggling because right at the top there scotland abolished the priority need tests over a decade

01:04:48.080 ago part of that strategy of bringing in the new scot part of the new initiative to bring in more

01:04:54.800 people into scotland so they said if you're unintentionally homeless now it's not down to

01:04:59.840 people who live in the area in glasgow or in aberdeen it's open to everybody the priority need is gone

01:05:06.880 really so that that may well have attracted lots of people from elsewhere to come and live in glasgow

01:05:12.720 which then so and you're right yeah look at the bottom there in a letter to dame angela councillor

01:05:18.400 alan casey one says nearly one thousand of the refugees who've accessed glasgow's homelessness services

01:05:24.880 have been living elsewhere in the uk well done you played yourselves and that's it

01:05:29.840 that is the point the that they now beginning to recognize in scotland that by opening their arms to

01:05:36.640 the unskilled having changed your laws to allow anybody to claim housing that all the asylum 0.51

01:05:43.680 seekers are living in different parts of the country are going well it's really difficult living here 1.00

01:05:47.200 it's not very nice they're not giving me free money i'm not getting a house yeah i'm living in a hostel

01:05:52.240 i'm living in a bed and breakfast didn't you hear about scotland if you go up there in a homelessness

01:05:57.440 you can now get up there and get a house amazing and now they're facing it and you've got this potential

01:06:02.720 risk and what's what what are what are the scots doing are they saying we recognize now it's causing

01:06:10.320 social incohesion oh are we going to be surprised by that no local scots are now angry about it you

01:06:17.600 see in northern ireland where you've where you've got protestants and catholics coming together saying

01:06:23.040 there's too many what they're worried about is protestant and catholics are coming together in glasgow

01:06:27.760 where they've had the old enemies to say this and they're now seeing this politically

01:06:33.040 their solution is not to stop the refugees it is about asking britain for more money

01:06:39.680 angela eagle give us tens of millions of the english money to fund our pet project i mean that's just

01:06:47.040 historically normal for the scots to require english money after they've messed up their own economy and

01:06:52.160 require us to bail them out that's how britain was formed in the first place but i think this feeds into

01:06:57.520 what you're talking about this is you can see from the back documents that i we put up there this

01:07:02.720 cohesive plan that they've created in around 2000 to 2010 this is the blair years this is where they

01:07:10.320 wanted to destroy england want to destroy britain and the way they could do that with mass immigration 1.00

01:07:16.400 because on one hand you had big corporate saying well you're not producing enough babies therefore we've

01:07:21.120 got a population decline so that fits in with big business but it also fits in with the socialist

01:07:26.000 ideal of destroying britain yes it does uh sorry um cranky texan says the trouble with scotland is

01:07:36.240 it's full of scots that's unironically the position of the scottish government

01:07:44.240 chris fitchins once predicted that this would happen but i don't think anyone expected it to be 0.96

01:07:48.240 so bad yeah so this i i find this just remarkable how scottish people are still so goddamn woke yeah

01:07:58.320 they're a really woke country and so okay but i mean i kind of wish scotland had got its independence

01:08:04.800 at this point because then at least it wouldn't be our problem we wouldn't have to pay for it but look

01:08:08.960 here we are we've got to pay for this because the scots aren't going to bloody pay for it well they're not

01:08:13.360 and my my issue with it is if we'd given scotland independence unfortunately we would have had to

01:08:17.760 build a wall as big as that being seen across mexico because there aren't that much there isn't a huge

01:08:24.480 economy out there yeah there isn't this land of nirvana that the smp thinks it's actually a country

01:08:30.320 funded predominantly by us yes through our taxpayers we give a precept that is far bigger for them than

01:08:36.000 they would accept and if their economy was to collapse particularly if we're looking now

01:08:39.120 yeah with the world changing on there they'd have to go to the eu begging for money who's the fat

01:08:45.840 smp mp ian something it's really really annoying smp mp oh yeah who's i can't remember the guy's name

01:08:56.080 ian blackstone or something blackwell i think it's just in black blackwell isn't it black maybe i can't

01:09:01.360 remember but i i remember seeing a clip of him a couple of years ago in parliament saying that scotland

01:09:07.200 was subsidizing england i was just like how has this guy come to this conclusion like there's just

01:09:12.880 no evidence for this it's just preposterous anyway have we got video comments they samson

01:09:21.600 russian says fantastic see stephen back again well there we go uh thank you

01:09:25.920 no okay um chase says uh we've banned and imprisoned the pen for embezzlement great but how is that good

01:09:40.320 for liberal democracy liberal democracy uh yeah that's that's really not what it's about is it

01:09:47.200 so i don't know what's going on my throat today optional scott says clearly andrew tate influencing

01:09:51.760 the british government to be more islamic uh well the the thing i'm so tired of hearing about andrew

01:09:58.160 tate at this point like that he he really is being vastly overstated yeah i think so yeah yeah and this

01:10:06.640 is why it feeds into them it feeds into this misogynist argument i think yes he's got a huge

01:10:11.040 number of followers what i understand i've actually to be honest never watched any of his shows some

01:10:16.800 elements about being living a clean life not taking drugs looking after yourself in the gym

01:10:21.760 all of them seem pretty positive aspects for young men to follow yeah but he's got a lot of stuff that's

01:10:26.720 not good then i but that's that's all i have but the other side i've not really looked upon at all i

01:10:31.680 don't think you're missing anything but i don't where do i really see this mass influence from him

01:10:36.240 to be honest i think it's just is it there is it really there am i just missing something there

01:10:41.120 it probably is that for young men oh is it probably yeah right okay no i think that there is one but um

01:10:48.720 the what has happened is that within schools teachers have sort of portrayed him as the devil

01:10:56.640 right and this makes lots of men young men especially in lots of uh people in schools

01:11:04.400 channel their rebelliousness towards accepting the devil because teacher told me not to

01:11:12.720 and there is also the whole culture that tries to feminize men to a ridiculous extent

01:11:18.080 and the pendulum swings way to the other side sigil stone says i disagree they are getting the

01:11:25.520 skilled migrant labor this is the extent of the skills and why they are being useful to the state

01:11:29.600 that point uh george says the state may be promoting islam to create ethnic conflict and

01:11:35.360 make normies easier to control that or they are ideologically possessed loons who place islam higher 1.00

01:11:40.080 on the oppression pyramid than any other religion so it's a combination of both of these things the

01:11:44.880 thing is i think the one thing we need to remember is that the people doing this are true believers in

01:11:50.560 liberalism right so i i had an afghan taxi driver the other day uh and i was trying to we ended up talking

01:11:57.600 about politics somehow he brought up politics and and so i was like yeah yeah no no you know i'm

01:12:03.360 against like you know i was against the islamic uh the invasion of afghanistan and he was like well

01:12:08.480 that's why i've come here because you've ruined my country i'm like okay fair enough and he kind of 0.51

01:12:12.960 accepted that the mass of people coming here was ruining ours uh and uh this was his argument and i was

01:12:19.920 like okay yeah fair enough but i think that's true um but he he wouldn't believe me when i told him

01:12:26.560 that they genuinely believe in democracy and they went over there genuinely to nation build because

01:12:31.760 a lot of them did he was like well it's about the resources like well what resources do you have

01:12:35.600 you know i mean like you know he didn't believe that they genuinely thought that all people were

01:12:44.400 the same and that all cultures were the same and that essentially you could build a liberal democracy 0.87

01:12:49.360 out of anything uh because that sounds stupid when you say it like that it sounds just really 0.78

01:12:54.320 ridiculous and yet i i genuinely think that keir starmer thinks that i genuinely think that they

01:13:00.160 believe that this is the the political panacea that resolves all civilizational conflicts do you 0.74

01:13:07.200 think this is going back to this kind of ideology of the church the church of england when it was like

01:13:11.920 proselytizing across the globe in the 1516 where he thought he could turn any native into a catholic 0.98

01:13:20.080 and ignore what they did so if we didn't like them we just killed them butchered them and burnt 0.74

01:13:25.280 what was going on so we've gone out there to afghanistan and blown it all up but eventually

01:13:30.320 they'll convert to liberal democracy and have no ramifications i think it's uh even more complex

01:13:36.720 than that because religious feeling and religious belief is just an internal issue

01:13:41.760 that's mostly what it is obviously there's the ritualistic aspect that the ritualistic aspect

01:13:50.000 is an aspect of buying of adopting a culture and practicing it but the the religious culture and

01:13:58.480 the whole let's say english culture or scottish culture are just macro cultures whereas the religious

01:14:04.240 one is a so more particular one much easier to adopt i think i think there's also a kind of element

01:14:10.560 of power seeking in it right because i think they look at it as if um if we are the we are the

01:14:18.000 the connection to power that the muslims have they can't abandon us and so we'll always have

01:14:22.560 a reliable constituency in them i think there's also an element of that as well in addition to what you

01:14:27.040 suggested it's uh jimbo says look how much humza hates anyone that doesn't bend the knee to his tribe

01:14:32.800 it's a disgrace that he was the leader of a western country uh yeah it's just insufferable i just

01:14:38.080 i'm so tired of like just like do you see the thing that two two mps have been banned from entering

01:14:46.320 israel or something they're both foreigners they're both immigrants it's like why do we have immigrant 0.99

01:14:51.120 mps i don't mean to sound too rude but like isn't that a concern like aren't we worried that if like

01:14:56.560 foreign people can just move here and take over what's the what what stops the chinese communist 0.95

01:15:01.120 party just saying right okay we're gonna send 20 million people to britain get elected in any

01:15:05.600 constituency what we want and then we'll have a ccp-controlled britain what stops it the answer

01:15:10.960 is at the moment nothing it's it's funny you say that i i spoke to someone who's a kind of non

01:15:16.160 non-commissioned security analyst for the uk who's saying that the fact that we've got one of the

01:15:20.640 rising largest rising groups of people coming over here the chinese is exactly that and we should be

01:15:26.560 worried about the hong kong yes because many of them are coming up they've got an opportunity to have 1.00

01:15:31.120 750 000 of them come over here yeah and at the moment we see them banding around in certain

01:15:36.480 constituencies warrington for example has become one of the biggest areas

01:15:40.880 no i'm not going to go out and say all these hong kong people no no i'm sure chills to the chinese 1.00

01:15:45.200 not but not at all i think that'd be but that's the point the point is that some people are beginning

01:15:50.240 to start getting concerned about this mass in certain areas there needs to be some sort of hard

01:15:55.280 boundaries i mean what are what are two labor mps doing going to israel when they've both got

01:16:00.880 obviously the social media history saying we hate israel it's actually completely understandable 1.00

01:16:04.720 israel like you guys hate us we're not letting you in i actually do support israel down the piss off 0.97

01:16:09.680 you know i bet they've got lots of stuff on their twitter feeds about hating britain as well

01:16:14.880 which we could do the same anyway north fc zuma says uh the legal system is supposed to be a

01:16:19.680 projection of the moral will of the people it governs it's just another reason diversity is a weakness 1.00

01:16:23.680 because the people have no form of united morality that's actually a great point one one one thing 0.99

01:16:29.120 that midwits say is oh well the laws is not not selling morality is it it's like well if laws have

01:16:34.160 no connection to morality why do why do we not have worse laws or better laws like we we have laws that

01:16:39.440 we think are connected to right and wrong which are moral questions anyway ken says uh if foreigners 0.96

01:16:46.480 are just as british as you uh then islamists are just as christian as you and me it's like well

01:16:50.880 that's the point ultimate is they want to homogenize everything into a universal human

01:16:55.680 type and so all religions will basically fit the same mold all people basically fit the same mold 0.94

01:17:01.360 all culture will basically be the same and then the managerial liberal state can actually finally

01:17:06.480 administer the universe exactly as it intends which is kind of a horrific future isn't it

01:17:11.440 this is incredibly scary i'd love to have v for vendetta back on that yeah yeah um

01:17:21.760 sorry richard i can't actually pass your comment lots of babylon cordoned off every end do you mean

01:17:29.200 police i'm sorry i have no idea what you're talking about there uh david says the use of revert makes

01:17:34.640 sense when you understand the arabic term muslim means true believer in arabic uh when you call someone

01:17:40.080 muslim you're calling them a true believer uh they believe you're born a true believer and so to

01:17:44.800 them it makes sense to have reverts not converts your own reverend calvin robinson understands this

01:17:49.200 which is why we shouldn't call them muslims uh this comes across as an affirmation of their belief 0.96

01:17:54.080 call them mohammedians as they are the followers of muhammad they are not true believers well that's uh 1.00

01:17:59.360 actually quite a spicy take uh uh there's actually a fair point on that um so owl says england is now

01:18:12.000 england is islamic now section my god man like we need to get you guys to pass your comments better

01:18:18.720 because i can't understand what you're saying uh stuart says there should be a lot of meps sweating

01:18:23.520 bullets right now because the eu has just told them they will be next but that's the thing isn't it

01:18:27.040 yeah the le pen thing they're not going to be next no they're leaders of a far-right party they're

01:18:31.680 only going to pick out those that they can think that they can damage and my view is now that they've

01:18:36.640 got their eyes on hungary with this case they they will be looking at the meps who are within marie

01:18:42.560 le pen's group and also those who are connected to hungary to find something similar to attack them

01:18:47.520 they've taken down romania they've taken down france i think they've also done the same they're

01:18:52.240 trying to do the same in portugal at the moment and we we saw one of the great leaders was uh

01:18:58.560 cuts who is in austria really challenging very radical much more than bardello was they they

01:19:04.080 decapitated him incredibly quickly he's just disappeared totally from politics yeah and the

01:19:10.640 point being if you were a right-wing politician in europe the law is against you and be aware of it

01:19:15.920 don't give them an opportunity um jimbo says the bbc has been doing everything to promote the

01:19:21.600 islamic takeover this month they celebrated celebrating a contestant on gladiators wearing

01:19:26.480 a hijab you can see what i mean it's just absolutely everywhere like they've already decided what's best

01:19:32.800 for us we just have to continually be nudged in the right direction and that's the point that's what

01:19:36.880 they're trying to do is i just i can't i can't take it man like 6.5 of the population we have to hear

01:19:44.640 about them all day every day from the government in the bbc um eloise says the problem is we've

01:19:49.760 always had feuding tribes and religions so framework diversity and multiculturalism to

01:19:54.240 accommodate for heathenism atheism polytheism christianity catholicism etc uh it was always

01:19:59.280 understood that they had certain principles in common now completely foreign religions which correlate

01:20:03.280 more highly more highly to harms and oppressions our culture disdains uh can't be questioned and get

01:20:08.480 defended under the same principles of be accommodating uh yes um obviously but the the issue is why are

01:20:16.080 the government choosing this outside religion to essentially project to the rest of the country

01:20:22.720 i mean it's not orthodox christianity they view that as essentially a white religion that's really

01:20:30.080 an an interesting issue that people are evading and it's just history that they're ignoring because

01:20:36.560 within christianity the protestants and the catholics were slaying each other for what 135 years 1.00

01:20:44.640 so you don't have to go to further cultures and which have additional problems when it comes to

01:20:52.640 coexisting within christianity there was a massive slaughter for 130 years

01:20:59.360 yeah but they don't care yeah because they again they're viewing this through the leftist lens of

01:21:05.920 majorities and minorities right yeah so the the christians they view as a majority the muslims there are

01:21:11.280 as a minority and also they have extra axes of oppression i mean kevin points out well you can't be racist against islam

01:21:18.240 it's like yeah but in the leftist mind you can be racist against islam because they for them islam codes as a brown religion uh and so 0.92

01:21:27.040 it's it's it's a kind of ethno cultural religion so any criticism of islam is fundamentally in some

01:21:34.560 way racist uh and the fact that islam exists as a minority religion in the uk itself is a form of

01:21:40.080 racism so it's a double racism yeah well exactly undefined racist term but he also thinks that the

01:21:47.120 numbers converting to islam in the uk have been growing rapidly well with these kind of incentives 0.99

01:21:50.960 why wouldn't there be like again and colin again the risk of pedantry why do you keep using racism

01:21:56.640 to defend islam and its religion because it's not really a religion like it's really the political

01:22:01.920 system of a certain culture which is 7th century arabia um like i don't i don't consider islam actually

01:22:09.200 very religious at all it seems to be designed to capture and wield power

01:22:14.240 so just seems to be the case uh lucas says uh never mind whether the ruling was just or not

01:22:22.560 i don't think the punishment is severe enough for defaulting millions of the euros yeah yeah i agree

01:22:27.200 i agree they're doing it just to prevent her from running um optional scots uh earlier says i can't

01:22:32.640 wait for you to cover glasgow because obviously he's in glasgow and he says i'm in the process of

01:22:36.720 moving out of glasgow one of the really surprising things is that half the house viewers i had come in

01:22:40.800 were indians that only had arrived in the last month well there you go and they'll be if they're 1.00

01:22:46.480 arriving in the last month they're either coming through to students or they're coming on the work

01:22:50.320 permit visas because that's the biggest route for indians but what you do find in some of the research

01:22:56.160 that i'm looking at at the moment is showing how many of those actually renege on those visas as soon

01:23:02.080 as they get them and and this is just an aside as i was doing this research about um what they call

01:23:07.760 displacement policy when i looked on the statistics for the home office but they come the asylum 1.00

01:23:14.240 displacement figures i punched in glasgow for 2014 the 2023 which is suddenly stopped on the 25th of

01:23:22.160 july but it only had under the government's displacement problems of vulnerable persons of 528

01:23:28.320 people displaced to scotland i've immediately written to the home office this morning saying can you

01:23:34.560 explain the discrepancy where you have uh glasgow saying they've got 6 400 this year can i have all

01:23:41.280 the numbers going back to 2014 and which data are you showing this and i think there's a gap i think

01:23:46.960 they're trying to hide where these numbers and who they are going to which local authorities all over

01:23:50.560 the country and even then they're kind of assuming that the people will just stay in that area well what

01:23:56.080 if they don't well as we can see yeah glasgow they're not exactly exactly we know exactly that

01:24:00.560 they're not so i can just everything about this is just like it's designed to fail at every level

01:24:07.680 isn't it um but uh baron van warhawk says uh the new scottish new irish new welsh why do we need new

01:24:13.440 celts what was wrong with the old celts so well don't get me started but the uh the point being even

01:24:19.680 with all of their problems they deserve what they have um josh says uh it's just going to have

01:24:26.880 to be eric's more who happens to be my third cousins husbands aunts cousins second cousins

01:24:32.000 husbands once removed i don't believe that um yeah and what once interesting north north fc

01:24:41.120 zuma says look scotland is so woke because they're still majority scottish by like 90 or something like

01:24:48.880 that and that's probably true and the reason that the liberal democrats have got anything in the uk is

01:24:54.640 because the southwest is mostly still english um this changes as the diversity sort of spreads across

01:25:01.200 the country um orland says the demographics in the last census in dalton in furnace where the mosque

01:25:07.520 is being built makes the story even more egregious uh 11 muslims to 4 221 christians even the buddhist 1.00

01:25:15.440 outnumber the muslims it's insane it is insane and i look at scotland and i do do wonder 1.00

01:25:22.560 whether this kind of wokeness and this idea for supporting migrants welcome is just a way of 0.94

01:25:28.400 attacking britain and i think it is i think they're using that kind of smoke screen to be able to damage

01:25:34.080 they look at the difference between us and aren't they a nasty nation and we should separate something i

01:25:40.080 particularly dislike is uh during christmas when they say you shouldn't say merry christmas you

01:25:45.360 should say happy holidays why would i do that yeah yeah but they do say it especially in in business

01:25:51.600 environments i make it absolutely clear it's happy christmas not merry christmas i know there's an

01:25:56.320 argumentative why is a happy christmas well apparently happy christmas is supposed to be part of the

01:26:01.600 original oh is it part of christianity merry christmas was something that was created in relation to

01:26:06.080 marketing tools that's what i was told they they don't want christmas in that's why they say no i

01:26:11.600 don't want christmas because they don't want to mention the word christ and once again disenfranchised

01:26:17.440 our historical religious roots yeah and i think all of it is based around resisting the majority culture 0.99

01:26:23.920 in order to make sure there is what they consider to be a kind of equality in the country because

01:26:28.480 obviously if 90 percent of the country is not muslim then the six percent of the country that is muslim

01:26:34.480 is going to kind of be culturally subsumed by the vast majority it's like yeah but that's

01:26:38.880 how things ought to be like sorry you know what what no instead that we're going to make them the the

01:26:44.320 kind of the the north star of our cultural life are we that's crazy uh and going to create a huge

01:26:51.520 amount of resentment i don't know what they think they're doing frankly uh rex says uh i got a shout

01:26:57.280 out on viva fry show last night for the base takes on tariffs i have a base take on tariffs i can't

01:27:01.680 remember what my takes on the tariffs were is it yours or is it dance it might have been dance

01:27:05.840 that dan is very pro tariff i'm not some i'm not you're not so pro tariff but it's okay that's

01:27:11.840 he got a shout out and why are you not pro tariff i'm not necessarily just just not for it just it's a

01:27:18.480 huge discussion okay we need to get into it then we'll get into it uh caroline uh sends the link which

01:27:26.400 is with the note is bad when the government are pushing islam but i find it worse than the schools

01:27:31.040 pushing on children like at my daughter's school oh god i'm gonna hate this link aren't i let me 0.52

01:27:35.200 load this up and have a look oh god yeah so yeah it's it's it's woke islam they've got uh essentially

01:27:46.640 just her daughter's school it's just woke islam i'm not gonna go any further than that on it but like

01:27:52.960 it's insufferable absolutely insufferable uh kevin says andrew tate is bad because he's a misogynist 0.57

01:27:59.600 who abuses and mistreats women the average mosque imam good even though he promotes misogyny and

01:28:03.520 mistreatment of women and andrew tate is a muslim himself as well so uh yeah but uh chase says isn't

01:28:10.800 the new scots a tacit admission of internet intentional replacement well yeah i mean that's

01:28:15.360 that's what we've been saying and that's exactly the point they've been making so scotland's losing

01:28:18.400 this population we need new scots to replace them so don't call it a replacement that's right just call 0.95

01:28:24.800 them new scots yep you know don't change the name from scotland to islamland yeah and this is

01:28:32.480 this is another thing that like the whole if you think of the whole framing of the entire discussion

01:28:37.840 drives me mad and you can tell that this has come from america because of the way that it's been done

01:28:42.480 because of course the americans are named after the landmass america right some italian explorer called

01:28:47.520 amaringo or something uh discovered it called it america and then people moved there and called
