00:00:00.160Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Tuesday the 22nd of April 2025.
00:00:06.360I'm joined by Josh and Luca, and today we're going to be talking about how every party in British politics turns into a weak, centrist, diverse, multi-culti civ-nat party.
00:00:19.280And how the police knew about the grooming gangs and were complicit in the cover-up of the grooming gangs, and multiple whistleblowers have come out about this.
00:00:27.820And we are going to then talk about the death of the Pope.
00:01:21.220So, reform promised to get rid of diversity, equity and inclusion in government, but they never said anything about their own party.
00:01:30.120Here is Ben Habib, of course, axed in the back, you know, party favourite, but no more, on BBC, talking about how they're going to get rid of it.
00:01:42.160And here is the official reform account with the slop siren and everything, saying that they're going to scrap diversity, equity and inclusion.
00:01:49.860However, the spirit of it lives on, not in, you know, law necessarily, but in Nigel Farage.
00:01:56.760God, why promise us this sort of stuff if you're just going to be like, yeah, okay, but we are actually going to continue it.
00:02:02.260Not necessarily for the government, but they are embodying the principles of it in their own party.
00:03:41.940He says, Reform UK candidate Rajmasud Forhad, that's his name, I presume, is a brave individual who stands up for British values and common sense.
00:03:53.100May I remind you that the term British values has increased...
00:04:00.480Beforehand, of course, we knew that you couldn't have British values without being British because we looked at the world and we saw that they weren't British and we saw that as a problem.
00:04:10.060And we tried to colonise them and introduce them into how to be civilised, but alas, they didn't like that.
00:04:14.680Well, it was a descriptive term, wasn't it?
00:04:16.520British values was the values of the British, not a doctrinal prescription that should be enforced on people everywhere else.
00:04:24.300At the minute, we've sort of got this 1984-esque thing of, no, we've always had British values.
00:04:29.800You know, Britain's always been a nation of values.
00:04:31.660We've always assessed people based on the content of their character because, of course, you know, Britain was founded by Martin Luther King.
00:04:38.040Britain has always been a hive mind collective that has always agreed on everything ever.
00:04:43.320And, you know, the geographical location of the British Isles, Charles I, Cromwell, both agreed on, you know, what British values were.
00:04:50.900Yeah, British values just happen to harmonise with Rawlsian liberalism as well.
00:04:55.380They just happen to be exactly the same thing.
00:04:57.100So the worst kind of liberalism, I can't even say it, it's so disgusting.
00:05:01.180They just happen to correspond with the ingredients that lead to our annihilation.
00:35:18.580The review, they say, focused on 111 cases in Rochdale and concluded that there was compelling evidence of widespread organised sexual exploitation of children.
00:35:28.420This should be a massive alarm bell, you'd think.
00:35:30.340But, anyway, I guess if the police are in on it, maybe it's not.
00:35:33.280Statutory agencies failed to respond appropriately.
00:35:36.980And the probability that at least 74 children were being exploited in 48 of those cases, where they were just serious failures to the child.
00:35:45.020And it was just low priority and under-resourced by the police.
00:35:48.860And it's like, oh, it's not their problem.
00:35:51.580Too busy telling people off for hate crimes on Facebook.
00:35:55.700We've got to tell them off for their dangerous language whilst children are being groomed.
00:36:00.220We're at the point now, aren't we, where basically all of the institutions in Britain are at the point where they would rather defend the worst scum of their people than the best and most virtuous of ours.
00:36:11.040They would rather be rapists than racists.
