The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1153

00:00:00.220 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Tuesday the 29th of April 2025.

00:00:06.520 I'm joined by Beau and Alex Masters, and we are going to be talking about the Canadian elections,

00:00:12.640 which has been a bloodbath by all accounts.

00:00:16.020 What am I going to be talking about? Oh yeah, how we're getting enriched,

00:00:19.940 and how Serco is going to make sure that the parts of England that weren't actually completely stuffed to the gills with strangers

00:00:27.240 are now going to be stuffed to the gills by strangers, and you're going to be paying for it,

00:00:31.200 and how the future belongs to those who show up for it politically, so you've got to go and get involved.

00:00:37.580 Anyway, right, so, no announcements today. How do things go in Canada?

00:00:42.780 Well, it depends which side of the aisle you're on, isn't it?

00:00:45.480 It was a remarkable, it seems like a fairly remarkable thing, over the last hundred days or so, quite a remarkable turnaround.

00:00:52.000 So, the headline is, is that the Liberals won. Mark Carney and it's Trudeau's old party, they won.

00:01:00.680 And it was only not that long ago, a couple of months ago, that the Conservatives were something in the order of 25 points up.

00:01:07.940 So, it looks like a sort of a slam dunk, should be a win.

00:01:11.940 And something happened, something happened.

00:01:16.400 Do we have a poll? I think we've got a poll line, right?

00:01:20.600 A nice map of the results.

00:01:22.640 There you go, that's quite a remarkable thing, isn't it?

00:01:25.760 And so, it's basically, the Donald broke their minds.

00:01:29.520 You can see by the exact dates as well.

00:01:31.640 Yeah, yeah, it's clear.

00:01:33.120 Literally, the very beginning of January.

00:01:36.260 So, Trump said all sorts of belligerent anti-Canadian things,

00:01:41.000 and we're going to make you the 51st state.

00:01:42.620 Of course, it's just bluster.

00:01:45.240 Of course, there's no, that was never, ever, ever going to happen.

00:01:48.480 Nonetheless, it broke a lot of, at least, boomers' minds in Canada.

00:01:55.360 And so, they decided to go, it looks like, well, there's no doubt.

00:01:58.500 Yeah, there's no doubt, though.

00:01:59.360 They actually have, right?

00:02:00.780 Because you can see there, the Conservative vote, you know, dropped a bit.

00:02:05.180 Well, substantially, actually.

00:02:06.380 But it's the rise in the Libs, Lib turnout that's, let's start with turnout.

00:02:11.300 So, it's 67%, which is not too bad. 1.00

00:02:14.620 That's quite high.

00:02:16.640 By British standards, it's not too shabby.

00:02:18.920 Yeah.

00:02:19.600 I mean, and you can see, like, they definitely cannibalised the NDP vote,

00:02:23.260 which I'm guessing are Canada's Lib Dems.

00:02:24.960 Yeah, new Democrats.

00:02:26.160 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:26.960 But not by a sufficient amount to justify that rise.

00:02:30.320 It has to have been people who otherwise weren't really going to vote,

00:02:32.820 who decided, oh, no, I've got to come out and stop the Orange Fuhrer. 0.99

00:02:35.660 But, okay, well done.

00:02:39.880 So, let's just talk about that first of all,

00:02:41.080 because I get the thinking from a Canadian Lib.

00:02:45.280 I get their thinking about that, just a knee-jerk reaction. 0.70

00:02:48.220 It's the evil Republican right-wing new Hitler dude in America 0.84

00:02:52.840 is being belligerent towards us. 0.91

00:02:55.800 Fluss.

00:02:56.240 So, at the ballot box, I'm going to vote Liberal.

00:03:01.960 Okay.

00:03:02.660 But, I mean, my, I get it, I understand.

00:03:05.600 But my thinking would have been that you would want,

00:03:10.500 you'd probably want someone that's closer aligned to Trump

00:03:14.180 in order to get a better deal, rather than meeting foes,

00:03:18.200 instead of locking horns, try and get someone that can make a deal

00:03:21.680 and defuse Trump in some way.

00:03:25.420 But, no, they decided not to go with that thinking, obviously.

00:03:28.900 The Liberals may have turned Canada one-third immigrant

00:03:32.360 in the last decade or so,

00:03:35.240 but Donald Trump was tweeting mean.

00:03:37.900 And have you considered...

00:03:41.100 I know, but if you actually go to the second,

00:03:43.260 the second, sorry, no, the second Twitter link I've got there.

00:03:48.840 This is interesting, isn't it?

00:03:50.300 Yeah, this is from the BBC.

00:03:52.320 So, again, it's the older generation.

00:03:54.180 So, let's just break this down quickly.

00:03:56.540 So, on the very far right there, you've got managing the federal budget and deficit.

00:04:00.380 Nobody cares, right?

00:04:01.960 Protecting public services.

00:04:03.320 Nobody cares.

00:04:04.040 These are not the most important factors when designed to vote.

00:04:06.900 Weirdly, making Canada a better place to live for the red bar is 60 and over. 1.00

00:04:12.340 They don't care.

00:04:13.240 They don't care. 0.99

00:04:13.880 I'm going to be dead soon. 0.99

00:04:15.600 I'm going to be dead soon.

00:04:16.920 That is literally the least important thing of any boomer on my entire thing.

00:04:22.540 Also, of course, making housing more affordable, because I've got mine, Jack.

00:04:25.980 Yeah, we'll get to that in a second, right?

00:04:27.600 That speaks volumes.

00:04:28.240 That one red bar there, that speaks volumes about sort of the boomer mindset.

00:04:32.720 And we do mean boomer in this case.

00:04:34.300 Yeah, literally it's 60 and over, yeah.

00:04:35.860 So, making Canada a better place to live is literally their last priority.

00:04:39.900 It's like, don't you have children and grandchildren?

00:04:43.280 Like, it's crazy, isn't it?

00:04:45.160 You like to think that the idea that you can make a better world for your progeny should be universal.

00:04:50.600 Well, it was universal right up until about 1960.

00:04:54.340 And the boomers all came of age in about that sort of decade. 0.59

00:04:57.680 And for some reason, they decided, no, I'm the end of history.

00:05:00.860 After me, the deluge.

00:05:02.360 But anyway, so the next one, growing the economy.

00:05:04.260 Again, very low, really.

00:05:06.660 And then, improving Canada's health system.

00:05:08.540 Oh, you can see the boomer self-interest coming in here.

00:05:10.980 Yeah, the boomers are very concerned.

00:05:11.920 Well, how do I get my appointment?

00:05:14.180 There are too many Indians in the waiting room. 1.00

00:05:16.040 I definitely need my appointment.

00:05:17.820 And then, making housing more affordable.

00:05:20.900 I own my own house.

00:05:21.880 Why would I care about that?

00:05:23.440 It's selfish, isn't it?

00:05:25.180 It's astounding.

00:05:26.060 Just the most selfish point of view.

00:05:27.880 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, every time.

00:05:29.420 It's crazy.

00:05:30.520 And then, of course, reducing the cost of living is something that impacts boomers.

00:05:34.120 So, on the far left there, that was the important thing.

00:05:36.660 Then, the one just before the far left, dealing with Donald Trump, 50% of boomers said that this was the most important thing to think about.

00:05:45.920 Remarkable, isn't it?

00:05:46.640 And what do they even mean by dealing?

00:05:49.080 Do they just mean, like, conversing with him?

00:05:50.620 I assume they mean resisting.

00:05:51.700 Or do they mean actually putting him in a box?

00:05:52.840 Yeah, you know, resisting Donald Trump, I assume they mean.

00:05:55.640 And so, it seems that the boomers have come out and just said,

00:05:58.840 well, to hell with the economy, or housing, or public services, or the debt,

00:06:04.300 or making the country a better place to live.

00:06:06.760 I just want orange man to be put in his place. 0.89

00:06:10.140 Or immigration and demographic.

00:06:11.460 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:12.540 No, no, no.

00:06:13.080 Orange man, bad. 0.99

00:06:14.320 Just sprinting towards the edge of the cliff as fast as possible.

00:06:18.780 Donald Trump's like, don't do it.

00:06:19.960 And they're like, argh.

00:06:21.460 Show you, yeah. 0.87

00:06:23.620 Crazy.

00:06:24.440 Because, again, the thing where Trump was talking about all those things he was saying about

00:06:28.440 making Canada the 51st state and stuff like that,

00:06:31.260 when Trump came in, he came in swinging on every front.

00:06:37.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:38.200 Some would say flailing.

00:06:40.380 Yeah.

00:06:41.320 And from their point of view, you know, like MAGA people's point of view,

00:06:45.680 I'm not saying they're wrong, I don't think they are really,

00:06:47.240 but they just feel like Canada's been screwing them over for a generation or more here.

00:06:51.860 They're just taking the mickey out of them, at least financially.

00:06:54.480 And he just came in with some sort of iron fist.

00:06:58.220 So, I've got a few thoughts on this.

00:07:00.200 I think that that's giving Canada way too much credit.

00:07:02.880 I don't think Canada's capable of screwing America in the way that it's been portrayed.

00:07:08.260 But, I mean, this was a definite sort of rake moment, I think, for Trump.

00:07:15.340 What he did is exactly the wrong things in exactly the wrong direction.

00:07:20.540 He decided he was going to come in aggressively and start, like, verbally punching at the purported

00:07:27.860 allies of America.

00:07:28.740 And then he was going to declare a trade war on China.

00:07:31.940 It's like, no, no, you don't want to do that.

00:07:34.860 What you want to do is make sure all the allies are on board, declare the trade war first,

00:07:38.900 and point out how they're going to make out, like, bandits from it.

00:07:41.800 And then once they're in hock to you, and you've got them on the hook,

00:07:45.900 they're like, yep, we'll put up tariffs against China too.

00:07:48.180 You know, and everyone's like, yeah, we're all coalition against China, 0.90

00:07:50.520 because China's eating our lunch.

00:07:52.080 Then he says, right, I'm going to need something, guys.

00:07:54.500 And where are they going to go?

00:07:55.340 You know, then you've got them on the hook.

00:07:57.140 Then you've got the conservatives in power in various other countries in your allies' areas.

00:08:03.140 And instead, he's done it the exact wrong way, and he's absolutely destroyed the conservatives in Canada.

00:08:08.960 And it's just like, okay, you know, America first only actually now means America alone.

00:08:13.900 And I know there is a contingent of people who say, yeah, okay, that's what I want.

00:08:16.760 It's like, okay, that's great.

00:08:17.820 But we don't want to be governed by the libs forever, actually.

00:08:22.800 And it turns out we've got a lot of flighty boomers who could have been won over by a bit of diplomacy, I think. 0.89

00:08:29.580 So it's fair enough to come out swinging against, say, the Chinese. 1.00

00:08:34.700 But you're saying it would have been a better strategy for your closest, closest allies, like Canada,

00:08:39.460 to be softly, softly, catchy monkey, build a coalition from the base.

00:08:44.640 Come out swinging.

00:08:45.740 Look, everyone knew there was a very high chance leading up to this that Trump was going to win.

00:08:50.520 Everyone knew.

00:08:51.940 I mean, Kamala Harris.

00:08:53.560 You know, Trump was beating her in the polls, like, you know, neck and neck with the polls.

00:08:57.580 And Trump, you know, everyone knew that Kamala was definitely being overrepresented. 1.00

00:09:00.640 It was a very, very likely thing that Trump was going to win.

00:09:03.300 And look where the libs are, right?

00:09:05.180 They're going down.

00:09:06.380 Even into the election, they're going down.

00:09:08.680 It's Trump's rhetoric alone.

00:09:11.100 It seemed to be.

00:09:11.880 I'm going to annex Canada.

00:09:13.220 They've gotten to go, oh, no, you're not, and resurrect from their, like, torpor and actually come out and vote for the libs,

00:09:20.020 who probably can't believe their bloody luck.

00:09:22.560 Can you even imagine?

00:09:24.080 You're going into an election with this kind of polling.

00:09:26.720 You're like, we're dead, guys.

00:09:28.000 We're going to get wiped out.

00:09:29.200 We're going to get the conservative treatment in Britain. 0.51

00:09:31.160 We're going to get absolutely stomped.

00:09:32.960 And then Trump just like, right, I'm going to take your country.

00:09:35.680 It's like, that doesn't play well with anyone ever, you know.

00:09:38.760 It plays well with the MAGA base.

00:09:41.500 Oh, yeah, okay.

00:09:42.640 Anywhere outside of that.

00:09:43.640 I know what you mean.

00:09:44.260 I know what you're saying.

00:09:45.420 But it just does seem like a...

00:09:48.540 Well, it's just that it's a remarkable graph to look at.

00:09:52.940 Historic.

00:09:53.340 Because, I mean, if Trump had come out and said, look, I hate Trudeau, the Conservatives probably would have gone up in the polls.

00:09:59.180 Because everyone in Canada probably hates Trudeau at this point.

00:10:01.740 Because he's ruined it.

00:10:02.240 I mean, Trudeau's, like, kind of accepted he was stepping back because he looked like he'd poisoned the brand.

00:10:08.560 Until Trump was like, you know what, I'm going to save you, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party.

00:10:13.000 And this is just exactly the wrong thing to do.

00:10:16.620 The thing is, I mean, it was never going to be an 1812.

00:10:21.760 If anyone doesn't know, America tried to invade Canada three times in 1812.

00:10:25.240 Yeah, and we ended up burning down the White House.

00:10:26.800 But that's not going to happen.

00:10:28.840 So there was never...

00:10:29.720 All the talk of annexing Canada, making them the 51st state, was always pure bluster.

00:10:36.440 And to me, obviously so.

00:10:38.520 It's a lack of respect.

00:10:39.960 Obviously so.

00:10:40.480 It's a lack of respect.

00:10:41.640 It is.

00:10:42.700 It is.

00:10:43.240 It also shows that the one constant in international politics is the Conservatives missing open goals.

00:10:48.740 Because all they had to do was match the Liberals' anti-Trump rhetoric punch for punch.

00:10:54.320 They go, you know, I'm standing up for Canada.

00:10:56.060 Yeah, well, so am I.

00:10:57.340 So is everybody here.

00:10:58.380 I mean, that's it.

00:10:59.340 I think Polivar did try, but it was too little too late.

00:11:02.900 You know, it was like, you know, like a month later he'd come out and go, I'm against Trump too.

00:11:06.280 It's like, no, everyone thinks you're kind of for Trump, actually.

00:11:08.460 He certainly wasn't massively vocal about it.

00:11:10.680 No.

00:11:10.920 I didn't see any clips of him getting red-faced and angry.

00:11:13.860 I'm talking to you, Mr. Trump, you'll never take...

00:11:15.820 I didn't see anything remotely like that.

00:11:18.180 I saw one speech where he looked a bit, not angry, but he looked kind of put upon that he had to make this speech.

00:11:25.000 And it was just like, not.

00:11:26.800 Well, it looks like he has even lost his seat.

00:11:29.660 Big Paulie lost his seat.

00:11:32.320 One of the few who has, actually.

00:11:34.780 You know, we said this is a bloodbath.

00:11:36.700 It's not been a particularly spectacular election.

00:11:39.460 I mean, the Libs are in a minority position here.

00:11:42.320 And the Conservatives have done all right.

00:11:43.860 But he specifically has lost his seat.

00:11:46.040 I was thinking from his perspective, actually.

00:11:47.680 Yeah.

00:11:48.080 Because, I mean, it's unusual for party leaders, even if they lose an election, to lose their seat.

00:11:52.860 Yeah.

00:11:53.360 Because normally they're chosen in quite safe seats.

00:11:55.440 I mean, any other one I can think of in recent years is Joe Swinson.

00:11:58.080 Which was hilarious.

00:11:59.200 Yeah, it was the next Prime Minister.

00:12:01.120 Or not an MP.

00:12:02.240 Which is.

00:12:03.600 But this is brutal for Polio.

00:12:05.260 Because how long was he in that seat?

00:12:06.860 He was there for 20 years.

00:12:08.320 And he got it when he was 25.

00:12:09.780 Jesus.

00:12:10.520 So he's had it for literally half his life.

00:12:11.900 And so he's no doubt putting a lot of work in his personal sort of demence.

00:12:15.560 And, you know, made sure that people know his name and like him.

00:12:18.820 And, you know, for 20 years, they've got to think something of you.

00:12:21.780 And then you're literally right up in the polls.

00:12:24.240 It's guaranteed Conservative win.

00:12:26.000 Trump comes in.

00:12:26.720 He's like, yeah, I'm going to annex Canada.

00:12:28.060 And that's your career over.

00:12:29.900 Yeah.

00:12:30.380 Because he's had it since he was 25.

00:12:31.720 There's not an awful lot on his CV.

00:12:33.620 I was going to say that.

00:12:34.240 Yeah.

00:12:34.700 He's done anything else, hasn't he?

00:12:36.120 Yeah.

00:12:37.320 Yeah.

00:12:37.640 He'll be pulling pints, I think.

00:12:39.240 Or making donuts in Tim Hortons.

00:12:41.900 The WEF will put him on a board somewhere.

00:12:43.960 Oh, yeah.

00:12:44.600 He'll be all right.

00:12:45.040 He's not going to go hungry.

00:12:46.460 Yeah.

00:12:47.020 All right.

00:12:47.620 That is, I mean, he must be seething.

00:12:51.640 Can you even imagine?

00:12:52.740 He must be devastated.

00:12:53.800 Yeah, he must be.

00:12:54.660 As you say, his career is over.

00:12:56.860 I mean. 0.98

00:12:57.660 Burn up Trump. 0.97

00:12:58.320 Thanks. 0.93

00:12:58.340 For now.

00:12:59.460 It's in the political room.

00:13:00.460 Yeah.

00:13:00.560 Thanks for nothing, Donald.

00:13:02.840 It could have been one phone call in that sort of back end of February just going, 0.97

00:13:06.820 Donald, can you just shut up for like six weeks? 0.85

00:13:09.080 Yeah. 1.00

00:13:09.240 Then you can do insane stuff.

00:13:10.660 But until then, just shush.

00:13:12.260 It's because Trump, literally, it's because Trump was talking about

00:13:14.820 Canada rather than Trudeau and the liberals.

00:13:16.880 He should have been making it a direct line at that party rather than your country.

00:13:22.440 You know, he could have been blustering up Canada being like, Canada's got a great history.

00:13:25.420 I love Canada.

00:13:26.380 You know, the best maple syrup comes from Canada.

00:13:28.580 It's the best.

00:13:28.600 Yeah, exactly.

00:13:29.380 Whatever it is.

00:13:30.400 You know, Pierre Polivet is going to do great.

00:13:31.900 Canada's going to be great again. 0.99

00:13:33.260 You know, instead of, I'm going to annex your country and turn being a shit lib into the nationalist position. 0.99

00:13:40.180 Yeah. 0.99

00:13:40.620 That's what the problem that Donald Trump has inflicted on the Canadians.

00:13:44.880 And to be honest with you, I don't really know what the conservatives could have done all that differently.

00:13:48.500 Because Polivet and all those, like, anyone even vaguely right wing obviously has some sympathies towards Trump.

00:13:57.080 And so if Trump's like, right, I'm going to take care of your country.

00:13:59.620 You're like, oh, I'll fight you, Mr. Trump.

00:14:01.220 Everyone's still going to be like, yeah, but you're not, you don't believe it.

00:14:04.020 Like, I know that the Trudeau-style libs believe it.

00:14:06.500 You know, they come out and go, no, we will fight you in the trenches.

00:14:09.320 And everyone's like, you know, they actually will.

00:14:11.220 They will, yeah.

00:14:11.580 Like, yeah, they're literally, they've pathologically hated Trump since 2016.

00:14:15.900 I agree that they're going to do it now.

00:14:17.820 Whereas if you're the conservative, you're going to be like, well, I will be a bit of a Neville Chamberlain on it.

00:14:22.580 You know, and so they'll, I don't know what he could have done.

00:14:26.460 The other thing that Trump did, other than just the blustering about annexation, was talk big about tariffs.

00:14:32.700 Yeah.

00:14:33.320 So, like, Canada have been eating America's lunch just in terms of trade a bit.

00:14:38.120 And Trump decided just to, you know, put an end to that.

00:14:43.160 And, yeah, if you're a Canadian patriot in any way, you're going to hate that.

00:14:49.840 But.

00:14:50.800 And if you're a Canadian lib, you can definitely lean into the sort of globalist free trade argument against Trump here and say he's a reactionary.

00:14:58.340 He's divisive.

00:14:59.220 He's this.

00:14:59.720 He's targeting Canada.

00:15:00.900 We need to get Mark Carney in charge because otherwise we're doomed.

00:15:05.220 Yeah, the adults are back in the room.

00:15:06.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:07.520 So, yeah, a little bit about Carney then.

00:15:10.080 All Brits know him because he was governor of the Bank of England for a while.

00:15:13.120 He was, yeah.

00:15:14.480 And even, I think, during the financial, the credit crunch, I hate that expression, but during that financial crisis, like, what is it, bloody 10, well, 15 plus years ago now.

00:15:24.100 But, um, so one thing I'll say from, obviously he's an old Goldman Sachs, uh, you know, globalist chill type person.

00:15:34.060 Yeah.

00:15:35.000 He's exactly the worst person to have in charge, actually.

00:15:37.860 But despite that, he does give off this aura of sort of calm competence, like, um, you know, like, uh, we'll keep the boat on an even keel.

00:15:48.420 He does that very well.

00:15:49.680 He does do that very well.

00:15:51.160 I mean, I don't agree with any of his politics, but he does.

00:15:53.820 Does he handle Brexit brilliantly?

00:15:55.880 Uh, well, again, just sort of, as, because being the governor of the Bank of England is quite different to being an actual, an actual politician.

00:16:04.060 So, much less the leader of a, of a party or a country, the whole job of being, uh, being a governor of a bank thing.

00:16:11.260 And he was governor of the Canadian Central Bank before that.

00:16:14.080 Um, yeah, your main job is to...

00:16:17.240 Project stability.

00:16:18.020 Yes.

00:16:18.360 Yeah.

00:16:18.600 Yeah.

00:16:19.180 That's more important than, um, than, um, rhetorical back and forths.

00:16:25.380 Or actual accomplishments.

00:16:26.500 Yeah.

00:16:27.100 Right.

00:16:28.000 Yeah.

00:16:28.680 But no, you are, you are right.

00:16:29.880 He does, he does, and a lot of them do a very good job.

00:16:33.880 And I think they're trained, frankly, uh, to project that kind of adults in the room.

00:16:38.320 We're presenting stability and calm governance and, you know, security for the future.

00:16:43.180 And if you're a boomer, well, that's, that's essentially an easy way to one-shot you.

00:16:48.020 That's how we've arrived in this position, is that the boomers keep falling for this trick. 1.00

00:16:53.000 Yeah.

00:16:53.540 Yeah.

00:16:54.340 Uh, so we'll see how he actually governs, because even though he's, they've won, the Liberal Party has won the election, uh, they're still, at this moment, it may change over the years.

00:17:03.860 For the next hours or day or two, they've got 168 seats and you need 172.

00:17:10.120 Right.

00:17:10.540 In the Canadian Parliament, I believe there's 343 odd seats, something in there.

00:17:14.500 They'll be able to form a coalition with their Lib Dems, right?

00:17:16.580 Right.

00:17:16.800 Either with the, the, the Dems or with, uh, like the Quebec bloc or, or whatever, uh, just to get over the line.

00:17:24.720 But even if they do that, it's still not a big majority.

00:17:28.100 Yeah.

00:17:28.900 Uh, so it's not a landslide.

00:17:30.520 His government will still be relatively weak.

00:17:33.160 It's not like he can, um, just start doing whatever he wants.

00:17:36.560 And moreover, when Trump actually does knock off the, I'm going to annex Canada rhetoric, they're just going to collapse in the polls again.

00:17:43.080 You think it's ultimately, well, yeah, because I mean, they're going to be like, oh, we have all these problems.

00:17:46.440 We have these problems.

00:17:47.060 We have these problems.

00:17:47.700 And they're going to be like, oh, who, who is responsible for those?

00:17:50.000 Well, us.

00:17:50.600 I mean, you know, we've been in charge for the last 12 years, whatever it's been.

00:17:53.980 You literally can't point the finger at anyone else.

00:17:56.320 So, sorry.

00:17:57.540 This is now like their fourth term.

00:18:00.580 Yeah.

00:18:01.420 Um, so usually it's a trend that you, most parties in, in the West, in modern times, post-war times, you don't get much more than that usually with the best will in the world.

00:18:10.340 No, because you're the person responsible for the problems.

00:18:12.280 Right.

00:18:12.600 Yeah.

00:18:13.260 No one else is in charge to point the finger at.

00:18:15.820 Um, so yeah, a couple more, just the first few links.

00:18:19.180 It's just interesting that, um, I think it's quite interesting that, that Paul Polivare, however you pronounce it, uh, lost his seat.

00:18:27.300 Because that speak, again, speaks of a personal, uh, that the electorate are like, it's you personally we've got a problem with.

00:18:38.760 Maybe.

00:18:39.720 Well, it must be, mustn't it?

00:18:41.140 Well, I don't, I don't know.

00:18:42.140 I'd have to look into it, right?

00:18:43.320 I haven't had time to dig into his personal constituency.

00:18:46.320 Because you would, as you said.

00:18:47.980 Normally it doesn't happen.

00:18:49.160 The leaders of a party or anyone who's a big beast in any given party, they put you in a safe seat.

00:18:54.940 And it probably was a safe seat.

00:18:55.780 It was, so you're kind of guaranteed.

00:18:58.520 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:59.420 Well, not exactly guaranteed.

00:19:00.440 Nothing's guaranteed.

00:19:01.320 But as safe as possible so that you don't lose your seat.

00:19:04.660 The thing is, Trump, like, no one expected Trump to start talking about annexing Canada.

00:19:08.740 This was just not on the table, you know, three months ago.

00:19:12.160 And as Bo says, you know, it's quite right.

00:19:14.000 That excuse won't last.

00:19:15.640 This will probably be the Libs' last government.

00:19:17.560 Because in four years' time, Trump's out, oh, Canada's still an independent nation and it's still broken.

00:19:23.860 And to be honest with you, maybe Trump has done the world a favor here, actually.

00:19:27.180 So, you know, Pierre Polivet, I liked his eating an apple while, you know, sassing the press.

00:19:32.020 Yeah, that was a funny clip.

00:19:33.160 I mean, don't get me wrong.

00:19:33.980 I mean, I'm a very big fan of not treating the press with any respect whatsoever.

00:19:37.920 But as you pointed out, how is he different to the arrest?

00:19:42.160 He's like, oh, we want you to come here and just leave your ethnic conflicts behind.

00:19:46.380 It's like, that's not possible.

00:19:49.000 Like, they're definitely going to bring the ethnic conflicts to Canada because you are pro-multiculturalism. 0.88

00:19:54.360 You're not like, okay, you've got to, like, with the Americans, you've got to, you know, wear a hat and wave a flag, right?

00:19:59.220 You know, if you're just going to be multicultural, they're going to bring their conflicts here. 1.00

00:20:01.740 So saying, like, we want as many immigrants as we can, just try not to be immigrants. 1.00

00:20:07.080 It couldn't be nice whilst you were here.

00:20:08.620 Yeah, exactly.

00:20:09.420 That's not going to work.

00:20:10.420 And that just means that you're just another globalist wef shill.

00:20:13.440 So, but obviously, on the sort of patriotic side of the ledger, and so actually maybe Trump screwing those people. 0.98

00:20:22.700 Okay, listen, you know, at the end of the day, our Tories, you are traitors, right? 0.97

00:20:26.860 And we all agree that conservatives and the worst kind of traitors, 0.99

00:20:30.040 because at least the libs are like, we hate you when we want you dead, right? 0.98

00:20:34.200 It's like, oh, okay, well, that's refreshingly honest. 0.97

00:20:36.300 Like, the conservatives are like, we hate you when we want you dead, but we're not going to tell you that. 0.99

00:20:40.380 We want you to vote for us and pretend we don't hate you when we want you dead. 0.99

00:20:43.780 So actually, like, you know, as much as this sucks for Polivare, maybe that's a good thing, as far as I can tell. 0.98

00:20:50.360 Because the only party I like in Canadian politics is, of course, the PPC, Maxime Bernier's one,

00:20:54.980 which, of course, is getting, you know, UKIP-style numbers at the moment.

00:20:57.740 But who knows where this goes in the future, right?

00:20:59.380 I mean, you know, his rhetoric is much more akin to what I would like a politician to actually say.

00:21:04.020 And he's stuck to his guns on a bunch of things.

00:21:05.980 So, yeah, that's, pardon me, that's basically the headline for today.

00:21:13.240 We'll see how Carney governs, whether he will be sort of, Trudeau level's insane,

00:21:20.540 whether his government will be able to do much at all.

00:21:23.800 As I say, they'll have a very slim, well, haven't got, at the moment, haven't got any majority.

00:21:28.060 And even if they do enter into a coalition or even some sort of pact, it will still be quite weak.

00:21:33.100 Like, the chances are they're going to have to make a pact with someone more to the left than them.

00:21:38.280 So, if you want to get anything significant done, okay, you've got to pander to the left.

00:21:42.500 Great. Well, that's what everyone hated about the Liberals before.

00:21:45.540 They'll probably throw a bit of red meat to the Quebois Coir. 0.84

00:21:47.800 Oh, you know, oh, we'll give you loads of money.

00:21:49.660 And I go, yeah, we'll be in government. That's fine.

00:21:52.720 As they always do.

00:21:54.920 But, you know, I do wonder if, in the long term, this won't turn out to be one of those sort of,

00:22:00.040 I'm glad Biden won in 2020 sort of events, where I'd be like, yeah,

00:22:04.660 Pierre would have been all right, but not great.

00:22:07.620 Whereas, maybe, you know, in the next one, we get someone based.

00:22:11.460 Maybe the Conservative Party in Canada will do a little bit of soul searching

00:22:17.100 and actually become Conservative.

00:22:20.220 And elect a Kemi-Bade knock of the road. 0.98

00:22:22.220 Yeah, or go that way.

00:22:23.940 Which I suspect they probably will.

00:22:25.320 Yeah, I bet they will.

00:22:26.220 There are only two things I managed to pull out the Guardian coverage of this,

00:22:29.280 which is that they describe Mark Carney's party as a traditional centre-left party,

00:22:34.600 which I just thought was extremely funny, which essentially means it's, you know, the same.

00:22:38.280 Yeah, but they've put the woke away, so that's good. 0.97

00:22:41.360 And the Chinese have already come out and said that they are open to improving ties

00:22:46.220 with their Canadian friends.

00:22:47.380 Oh, we're thrilled.

00:22:49.840 Globalists have won, say, the Chinese Communist Party.

00:22:52.360 Yeah, those red flags firmly being planted on Canada's lawn.

00:22:55.200 I tell you, there are a lot of red flags about this.

00:22:57.020 Because Canada is extremely resource-rich.

00:23:01.080 It's unbelievably resource-rich, actually.

00:23:03.060 It has a fine history of finding Chinese spies in senior positions as well.

00:23:08.980 So it's nice to see that that tradition is one that he will be preserving.

00:23:12.580 So if they can, you know, get their resources to China rather than evil Trump,

00:23:17.000 evil Trump probably will. 0.98

00:23:19.060 It's so clownish, isn't it? 0.98

00:23:20.820 Like, but at least we're going to have a massive Indian labour force, bro. 1.00

00:23:24.720 Have you considered the upshot of this?

00:23:26.760 Brilliant.

00:23:28.140 Brilliant.

00:23:29.060 Again, just sprinting towards the cliff as fast as humanly possible.

00:23:33.740 At least we're not Donald Trump.

00:23:35.360 Yeah.

00:23:36.620 I bet all of our Twitter feeds are now going to be full of MAGA types going,

00:23:39.740 no, it's 4,000, you know, dimension underwater backgammon,

00:23:42.280 and you just don't get it.

00:23:43.320 I mean, I hope it is.

00:23:44.660 Don't get me wrong.

00:23:45.520 Fingers crossed.

00:23:46.160 I've never really understood the QAnon thesis,

00:23:48.700 but I kind of want to trust the plan.

00:23:51.240 You know, I hope there is a plan,

00:23:52.360 but at this point it looks like things are a bit dead in the water.

00:23:55.620 It does look like it's backfired a bit from the Trump point of view

00:23:57.800 where you could have had a staunch ally and now you've got sort of an enemy.

00:24:02.920 But I feel like Trump and MAGA people are sort of in the mindset of,

00:24:09.320 I don't care, we don't need Canada, we are the United States.

00:24:13.140 We don't need anyone or anything.

00:24:14.960 We're going to do and say what we want.

00:24:17.960 Okay.

00:24:18.120 I think that's where their minds are.

00:24:21.500 I believe it, and that's great.

00:24:23.660 I guess we will just have to make plans accordingly

00:24:25.520 because we aren't the United States and we need to figure things out.

00:24:29.780 Starmer got on the blower to Carney apparently already.

00:24:32.400 I bet he did.

00:24:33.120 Just saying, well done, great.

00:24:34.300 It's great.

00:24:34.900 We can...

00:24:36.420 The shadow of Tony Blair looming overall.

00:24:39.580 I bet AA is making memes about it already.

00:24:42.240 Yeah, so Johan says,

00:24:45.580 the boomers decided to screw over Canadians one last time before they died. 1.00

00:24:49.340 That's true.

00:24:50.900 I bet they've got a couple of elections left.

00:24:53.520 I was going to say, there's at least one more.

00:24:55.120 At least one more after this, I would think.

00:24:56.940 It is unbelievable, though.

00:24:59.860 Absolutely unbelievable.

00:25:01.520 Making Canada a better place is just not on their list of priorities.

00:25:04.680 Obviously, actively don't want to.

00:25:06.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:07.220 Yeah, right.

00:25:07.740 It is that, isn't it?

00:25:08.520 It is, yeah.

00:25:09.180 And, like, half of them as well.

00:25:11.900 Half of them are like, yeah, it's Trump.

00:25:13.660 That's what I care about.

00:25:14.500 They're my grandchildren.

00:25:16.220 Yeah, and it's like, no, sink Canada. 0.97

00:25:17.820 Destroy it. 0.90

00:25:18.560 Yeah. 0.90

00:25:19.380 Yeah. 0.99

00:25:19.780 Burn it as long as Trump can't have it. 1.00

00:25:21.500 It's like, mad. 1.00

00:25:24.440 Alder Eul says,

00:25:25.220 the Libs winning in Canada is the merging of two liberal parties.

00:25:27.600 The NDP collapsed and put everything behind the Libs.

00:25:30.220 Even if the Libs didn't win,

00:25:31.560 they would have formed alliance with the NDP.

00:25:33.520 I think that's probably where it's going to go.

00:25:35.080 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:25:35.560 The thing is, this is the problem with, like,

00:25:38.260 you know, the sort of, the plurality of left-wing parties.

00:25:40.500 They're all the same party.

00:25:41.860 They're all the same party,

00:25:43.120 which is why, like, you know,

00:25:43.940 a bunch of them go from Labour to the Greens over here,

00:25:46.080 and then a bunch of them go to the Liberal Democrats,

00:25:47.620 and it's just like, oh, yeah, why not? 0.97

00:25:49.840 They're all just traitor parties. 0.71

00:25:51.920 The Habsification says, 0.99

00:25:52.760 think of the positives.

00:25:53.540 This does open up the opportunity and space for Maxime Bernier.

00:25:56.640 Well, that's my cope.

00:25:59.920 It's a beautiful dream.

00:26:00.960 Yeah, that's my absolute cope.

00:26:02.460 I just want to say, right,

00:26:03.940 I've never seen as much great rhetoric coming out of a Frenchman 1.00

00:26:08.400 as I have of Maxime Bernier.

00:26:10.380 He's genuinely, like, if you look at his Twitter feed,

00:26:12.660 it's basically Homeland Party stuff.

00:26:15.560 It's like, wow, okay.

00:26:17.140 You know, like, he's, you know,

00:26:18.320 great replacing stuff and stuff like that.

00:26:20.420 It's like, okay, wow, this is pretty hardcore.

00:26:23.400 That's a random name, says,

00:26:24.720 some context from a Canadian.

00:26:25.800 Most Canadians are obsessed with the U.S.

00:26:27.300 and see themselves as superior to Americans,

00:26:29.300 and therefore everything here revolves around the U.S.

00:26:31.140 Yeah, no doubt, actually.

00:26:32.980 Being so close to America must be uncomfortable.

00:26:35.300 That psychology plays itself out all over the place

00:26:38.200 and throughout all of history,

00:26:39.500 where we hate you, we despise you,

00:26:42.160 but we want to be you. 0.76

00:26:44.120 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:26:45.180 Of course.

00:26:45.900 Why wouldn't you want to be the top dog, right,

00:26:48.040 and be a bit resentful of them?

00:26:49.500 But I do think the Canadian boomers here,

00:26:52.180 it's about essentially just respect, right?

00:26:55.220 If Trump had shown Canada some deference and respect,

00:26:59.120 I bet he could have won them over.

00:27:00.960 But instead, he essentially said,

00:27:03.020 I'm bigger than you, and therefore.

00:27:04.780 And that gets, and honestly,

00:27:06.620 it's a really Anglo thing.

00:27:09.460 Oh, I'll show you then.

00:27:11.240 I mean, if anyone said that to you,

00:27:12.500 you'd be like, right, okay, all right, well, we'll see.

00:27:15.140 You know, I will literally cut my nose off to spite my face

00:27:17.760 if that's what it takes to show you 0.97

00:27:19.180 that I'm not going to be dumped on by you.

00:27:21.020 You know, and so, you know,

00:27:22.540 every Anglosphere country will do this,

00:27:25.140 and it's what we've done since the dawn of time.

00:27:27.620 So, you know, like, this was a very predictable thing,

00:27:30.220 just FYI.

00:27:31.360 I think that stubbornness is even worse,

00:27:32.800 because aren't the majority of Canadians Scottish?

00:27:36.180 I don't know.

00:27:37.720 There's an awful lot of Scots in Canada.

00:27:39.860 So, yes, they've told a bunch of jocks what to do,

00:27:42.380 and they've gone, no.

00:27:44.160 Well, that's what you'll get, you know,

00:27:46.400 whether it's a good idea or not.

00:27:48.140 Random Name says,

00:27:49.060 furthermore, the government controls almost all the media,

00:27:50.880 so people don't know about the PPC,

00:27:52.520 and the few that do vote Conservative

00:27:53.640 because of first-past-the-post.

00:27:55.240 Also, Quebec was the leader of the VACs past

00:27:58.040 because of boomers.

00:27:58.860 Of course it was.

00:28:00.440 Matt says,

00:28:01.320 were Canadian Conservatives willing to do the hard work

00:28:04.360 to restructure their country

00:28:05.700 when they were scared of the media?

00:28:07.420 Austerity is forced on Canada by Liberals.

00:28:09.640 Yes, the entire thing.

00:28:11.580 I mean, again, it's just all Conservatives, isn't it?

00:28:14.360 It's all Conservatives.

00:28:15.780 They're just the same in every time and every place, 0.99

00:28:18.160 and they're terrible.

00:28:18.820 Anyway, moving on.

00:28:21.700 So, let's talk about how Serco

00:28:23.820 is going to be extorting billions and billions of pounds

00:28:28.380 from the British public

00:28:30.100 with the willing help of the British government

00:28:33.120 to make sure that the Channel invaders 0.95

00:28:36.400 are living in comfort.

00:28:39.340 And into every corner of our island.

00:28:42.720 Great point.

00:28:43.320 No small rural hamlet shall be exempt.

00:28:47.360 There will be a couple.

00:28:48.740 There will be. I'm exaggerating.

00:28:49.800 But that's a time scale, right?

00:28:52.920 So, there are now, but in a year's time,

00:28:55.060 or ten years' time, a year.

00:28:57.460 So, about 11 months ago,

00:28:58.940 Leilani Dowding came on, 1.00

00:29:00.280 oh, sorry, six months ago,

00:29:01.480 and warned us, actually.

00:29:02.880 She was like, by the way,

00:29:03.660 Serco are going to get huge, huge contracts

00:29:05.780 from the government

00:29:06.220 and shove these migrants everywhere. 1.00

00:29:08.000 Oh, God, that sounds bad.

00:29:09.740 And her prophecy has come to pass.

00:29:12.440 They have decided, indeed,

00:29:13.980 to carpet-bomb us with diversity. 0.97

00:29:17.320 And this is just, I mean,

00:29:19.380 it's a really long list of places

00:29:21.580 where Serco is planning to house asylum seekers

00:29:23.520 in rented accommodation.

00:29:25.420 So, they're just going to give them our money

00:29:27.060 to live in a house.

00:29:28.560 It's like, I have to pay to live in a house.

00:29:31.020 Do you pay to live in a house?

00:29:32.360 Do you have to.

00:29:32.800 Do you pay to live in a house?

00:29:34.020 I do, actually.

00:29:34.740 Folks, watching at home,

00:29:35.440 do you pay to live in a house?

00:29:36.860 Well, these people don't.

00:29:38.740 These people who broke into our country 1.00

00:29:40.620 don't pay to live in a house.

00:29:42.900 You pay for them to live in a house.

00:29:45.320 This is mad.

00:29:46.240 Absolutely mad.

00:29:47.040 And there are just towns on this list

00:29:48.740 where it's those sort of like,

00:29:52.080 you know, quaint, minute English villages

00:29:54.780 that are kind of like the picture postcard

00:29:56.900 where you think, wow,

00:29:58.360 the idea of someone from France

00:30:01.080 setting foot in one of these villages

00:30:02.380 kind of offends me on a spiritual level, right?

00:30:04.780 No, no.

00:30:05.100 You shouldn't know about Knowlesley.

00:30:07.780 I don't know where Knowlesley is,

00:30:08.980 but I know that it's going to be

00:30:09.920 a tiny English village somewhere

00:30:11.200 in the northwest of England

00:30:13.140 that nothing ever happens in.

00:30:14.880 And I don't want foreigners in it. 1.00

00:30:15.920 I want it to leave it like it is.

00:30:17.520 So the idea that someone from Mogadishu

00:30:19.980 gets to go there

00:30:21.100 or someone from bloody Afghanistan or something, 1.00

00:30:23.540 it's like heresy to me.

00:30:25.760 It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:30:27.540 No, you know.

00:30:28.960 And these places will be super low crime

00:30:31.080 or like almost zero crime.

00:30:32.400 Low crime?

00:30:32.860 What are you talking about?

00:30:34.140 Really high trust.

00:30:35.340 What are you talking about?

00:30:35.720 Greg from down the road,

00:30:36.740 that time he spray painted something

00:30:38.000 on his own wall.

00:30:38.820 Yeah.

00:30:39.180 You know, like, yeah,

00:30:39.980 he didn't get permission

00:30:40.660 from the council, Beau.

00:30:42.000 You know, that's going to be

00:30:43.260 the extent of crime in these places.

00:30:44.280 Sorry, I know I'm going on,

00:30:45.160 but this really, really annoys me.

00:30:47.560 I was going to say,

00:30:48.160 if there is any crime in those,

00:30:49.260 it's that one family

00:30:50.260 at the bottom of the village

00:30:51.380 and everybody knows who they are.

00:30:52.540 And they're not actually all that bad.

00:30:54.320 No, no, no.

00:30:54.880 It's not violent crime

00:30:55.900 or sex crime anyway.

00:30:57.580 It's antisocial stuff or worse.

00:30:59.260 Oh, the kids have been

00:30:59.940 knocking over the plant pots again.

00:31:01.320 And you've been told

00:31:02.040 to cut down the tree

00:31:02.800 that's overlooking my garden.

00:31:03.980 The council have said so.

00:31:05.020 You haven't done it yet.

00:31:06.420 That's going to be the extent of it.

00:31:08.000 And I just hate to see it, man.

00:31:09.120 And the community will be homogenous.

00:31:11.540 Completely.

00:31:11.780 And that's all that's just ruined.

00:31:14.540 Yes.

00:31:14.920 For why?

00:31:15.440 For what?

00:31:16.480 Because we need to uphold

00:31:18.120 the universal doctrine of human rights?

00:31:20.180 Oh, no, it's better than that.

00:31:20.920 It's to save the government money.

00:31:22.600 Well, that's true.

00:31:23.400 But the overarching goal

00:31:24.800 is to uphold the universal doctrine

00:31:26.020 of human rights.

00:31:26.520 The reason they're taking them

00:31:27.660 out of the hotels

00:31:28.280 is to save the government money,

00:31:29.280 as you correctly said.

00:31:30.740 So the director of the Runny Me Trust

00:31:32.320 can twiggle their moustache

00:31:33.820 and laugh maniacally.

00:31:35.940 100% true, yeah.

00:31:37.580 I think the director of the Runny Me Trust

00:31:38.800 might be a woman, 1.00

00:31:39.460 but I think she still has a moustache.

00:31:40.660 I mean, Rosendale, Sefton, Trafford.

00:31:45.640 I've heard of that, actually.

00:31:46.680 But, like, you know, Wirral, Wire.

00:31:48.400 South Ribble.

00:31:50.120 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:50.620 That is the middle of nowhere.

00:31:52.200 Yeah, no one knows where this place is.

00:31:53.860 And that's just in the northwest.

00:31:54.960 And then you've got, like, just,

00:31:56.080 again, ancient Saxon towns.

00:31:58.180 The Malvern Hills,

00:31:59.180 which I think is actually an AONB, isn't it?

00:32:01.600 It's an area of outstanding natural beauty.

00:32:03.360 Probably.

00:32:04.040 You know, Melton,

00:32:04.920 where the pork pies come from.

00:32:06.480 Just Shropshire,

00:32:07.680 which is actually one of the nicest parts of England

00:32:09.800 because nobody goes there.

00:32:10.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:32:11.980 So just smear this across the entire country.

00:32:15.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:16.120 It's just, it's crazy.

00:32:18.100 And in fact, we'll, in fact...

00:32:20.000 Great Yarmouth.

00:32:20.660 Let's have a look at some maps a second, right?

00:32:23.080 So this is the map of England,

00:32:25.580 scarred as it is.

00:32:28.140 The dark blue bits are the most normal 0.99

00:32:31.680 and homogenous places.

00:32:33.240 This is where the natives live.

00:32:34.640 The darker the blue,

00:32:35.380 the more natives there are.

00:32:36.700 And you can see that in Norfolk,

00:32:38.980 it's all native.

00:32:40.300 You can see that across this area of England,

00:32:42.360 it's all native.

00:32:43.040 And across this area of England,

00:32:44.380 it's all native.

00:32:45.480 So it's just sort of London to Birmingham,

00:32:48.160 the Midlands area,

00:32:49.480 and then Manchester leads,

00:32:51.420 that sort of, you know, scarred.

00:32:53.140 So that's where the plantations are in England, right?

00:32:56.240 Do you want to see a map

00:32:57.460 of where Serco is going to be able to put their things?

00:33:02.280 Brutal.

00:33:03.780 Absolutely brutal.

00:33:05.960 It's all, like, across that area

00:33:08.740 and then up to the northwest.

00:33:10.540 It's essentially linking up the plantations now.

00:33:13.020 Yes.

00:33:13.840 It's literally just going through

00:33:15.600 the remaining English areas.

00:33:18.120 It's been like,

00:33:18.840 here are your foreigners.

00:33:20.180 Here is your diversity.

00:33:21.900 You get to pay for this

00:33:22.860 and you're so welcome,

00:33:24.540 says the British government and Serco.

00:33:27.480 I don't know what the problem is.

00:33:29.180 It's just bigots. 0.97

00:33:30.420 I don't want to live near brown people. 1.00

00:33:31.960 That's all it is. 0.99

00:33:32.800 I can't stand looking at a brown face. 0.99

00:33:34.960 That's the only reason why you'd have any issue.

00:33:37.220 Some of these areas in West Lancashire,

00:33:38.900 92%, you know, like 93%.

00:33:41.520 And then, oh, yeah.

00:33:43.160 Too high.

00:33:43.760 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:44.640 This is, you know, you're getting it.

00:33:46.060 You're getting it.

00:33:46.820 Sorry.

00:33:47.660 You're all getting it.

00:33:48.400 And it's just like, oh, my God, man.

00:33:50.320 The other thing with these areas

00:33:51.320 is that a lot of them are quite poor.

00:33:53.880 Yes.

00:33:54.860 And you will have rural families 0.92

00:33:58.260 on low wages or seasonal work,

00:34:00.480 you know, desperately trying to get a house.

00:34:02.500 And Serco comes in

00:34:03.360 and buys up all the housing stock.

00:34:04.720 Jacks, the price is up 20%, 30%, 40%.

00:34:07.360 And it's the natives who then can't afford 1.00

00:34:09.820 to live in the area

00:34:11.380 that their ancestors grew up in,

00:34:13.400 let alone themselves.

00:34:14.520 What party do those people vote for?

00:34:17.760 Well, I don't think asylum seekers get voting rights. 1.00

00:34:20.280 No, but the people of that area.

00:34:22.860 Norwich and sort of east side.

00:34:24.720 Yeah, that's conservative.

00:34:25.800 That's fine.

00:34:26.300 In fact, Great Yarmouth voted reform.

00:34:28.000 They did.

00:34:28.820 In fact, it's now an independent.

00:34:30.140 I tell you what, East Anglia

00:34:31.400 is going to be basically

00:34:32.680 the last English area of England

00:34:34.380 by the way that they're politically voting,

00:34:35.940 which is superb.

00:34:37.300 But all of the people in the northwest,

00:34:39.660 sort of like, you know,

00:34:40.240 from the center going upwards

00:34:41.260 on that left side,

00:34:43.000 they're all Labour voters.

00:34:44.620 So enjoy that.

00:34:45.720 All Islamic, independent. 1.00

00:34:46.500 Old Labour voters.

00:34:47.920 Old Labour voters.

00:34:48.720 That's correct.

00:34:49.860 So not only is this a betrayal of England,

00:34:52.120 but it is a betrayal

00:34:52.800 of the Labour voting public themselves.

00:34:55.580 This is pretty much a good reason

00:34:57.780 why you should vote for something else, maybe.

00:34:59.560 You know, loath as I am

00:35:00.420 to support Nigel Farage at this point.

00:35:03.160 Anything.

00:35:03.560 Anything that's not the Labour Party.

00:35:06.660 I mean, what more could they do 0.87

00:35:07.780 to stab you in the back? 0.94

00:35:09.380 Like, genuinely, I want to know. 0.99

00:35:10.880 What more could they do?

00:35:12.260 They're going to make you pay

00:35:13.160 for a bunch of invaders 0.75

00:35:14.060 to live next to you

00:35:14.980 and live at the end of your street.

00:35:17.280 So good luck with your daughter

00:35:18.380 walking to school.

00:35:20.020 Like, seriously,

00:35:20.660 I mean, this is just mad.

00:35:23.060 But some of these areas are tiny.

00:35:24.340 Rutland, 40,000.

00:35:26.320 You're still going to get some.

00:35:28.780 Half a million people in Shropshire.

00:35:30.160 You're going to get two sites.

00:35:31.260 Mental, isn't it?

00:35:34.380 Absolutely mental.

00:35:35.960 Yeah, it's completely malevolent.

00:35:38.640 Yeah, it's malevolent.

00:35:39.360 Deliberate and evil.

00:35:40.840 I mean, there's no other words for it.

00:35:42.880 Weirdly, like,

00:35:43.640 the South West and the North East

00:35:44.900 haven't got any.

00:35:45.540 Wales hasn't got any.

00:35:47.320 Like, for some reason,

00:35:48.380 it is targeting,

00:35:49.560 mostly,

00:35:50.900 the poor Labour voting areas.

00:35:52.640 Yeah.

00:35:53.340 It's just like...

00:35:54.400 I mean, like,

00:35:55.340 okay, in East Anglia,

00:35:56.680 okay, they're targeting

00:35:57.280 the Conservative areas a bit there.

00:35:59.340 You know, but, like,

00:36:00.200 it's really weird

00:36:01.120 because it's almost like

00:36:02.140 they think,

00:36:03.260 well, if we're the MPs

00:36:04.660 in this area,

00:36:05.260 they can't really kick up

00:36:06.160 that much of a fuss

00:36:06.880 because they're going to email us

00:36:08.420 and not, like, you know,

00:36:09.100 if they'd stuck them

00:36:09.740 in reform areas

00:36:11.460 like Great Yarmouth

00:36:12.260 or Clacton-on-Sea,

00:36:13.820 Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe

00:36:14.860 are going to make a big

00:36:15.520 stink about this.

00:36:17.380 So I guess we'll put them 0.99

00:36:18.300 in the Labour areas

00:36:18.980 and then we'll just get the emails

00:36:20.520 and we'll just ignore them.

00:36:21.760 Right?

00:36:22.800 They can't even use the excuse

00:36:24.200 of easy transportation

00:36:25.320 because places like Norfolk

00:36:27.180 and, you know,

00:36:28.320 the west coast of Cumbria,

00:36:29.920 it's a complete pain to get to.

00:36:31.760 So why...

00:36:32.260 You've got these people

00:36:32.920 who are apparently

00:36:33.580 in the system.

00:36:35.200 They're asylum seekers. 1.00

00:36:36.220 They are being...

00:36:37.140 Their applications

00:36:37.700 are being processed.

00:36:38.760 And you go and stick them

00:36:39.940 up the other side

00:36:41.720 of the lates

00:36:43.060 where it takes, like,

00:36:44.480 two hours to go 20 miles.

00:36:46.720 Yeah.

00:36:46.880 How are you going to...

00:36:47.620 I mean, maybe that's the point, right?

00:36:48.720 We're never going to see them again.

00:36:49.860 Yeah.

00:36:50.120 You know, like,

00:36:50.920 they're never going to escape.

00:36:51.880 Imagine coming from Helmand

00:36:54.300 or Darfur

00:36:57.220 or Bangladesh or something

00:37:00.000 and you end up in Cumbria,

00:37:02.140 rural Cumbria.

00:37:03.040 Rural Cumbria, yeah.

00:37:04.220 I think I personally

00:37:05.380 would really like rural Cumbria.

00:37:07.340 Oh, yeah, no.

00:37:08.000 It's lovely, but...

00:37:09.540 The people are probably very nice.

00:37:10.880 I like the idea of a kind of,

00:37:12.460 you know,

00:37:12.660 this sort of bucolic lifestyle

00:37:13.740 where, you know,

00:37:14.740 you just go to the local tea room,

00:37:16.940 you know,

00:37:17.100 get some cakes,

00:37:17.700 get a pasta or something,

00:37:18.580 whatever it is they're eating up there

00:37:19.560 and just not do much all day.

00:37:22.420 You know,

00:37:22.600 that sounds lovely.

00:37:23.620 Sounds like a great retirement.

00:37:24.860 Take you out of the mountains of Kashmir

00:37:26.440 and stick you in the Norfolk broads. 0.93

00:37:27.820 Yeah.

00:37:28.760 What?

00:37:29.140 Yeah, I mean,

00:37:29.920 and unemployment.

00:37:30.980 I mean,

00:37:31.160 I know it's,

00:37:31.980 for me and for most people,

00:37:33.180 that's actually low on the list

00:37:34.300 of why this is a problem.

00:37:35.820 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:37:36.280 But still unemployment

00:37:37.040 in, like,

00:37:37.600 the North East.

00:37:39.920 So where are all these people

00:37:41.300 going to get jobs?

00:37:41.860 They're all going to be Uber riders,

00:37:43.360 are they?

00:37:43.940 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:44.820 All of them.

00:37:45.340 How much demand for Deliveroo

00:37:46.980 is there

00:37:47.420 in the North West of England?

00:37:49.640 You know?

00:37:50.840 Probably not all that much.

00:37:51.820 And the thing is,

00:37:52.540 Deliveroo, yeah, gosh.

00:37:53.420 How,

00:37:54.040 can these people even speak English?

00:37:56.600 Like,

00:37:56.780 how are they going to understand

00:37:57.560 a Cumbrian accent?

00:37:58.480 It races to even us.

00:37:59.920 Well, it is.

00:38:00.860 But like,

00:38:01.580 but seriously though,

00:38:02.420 like,

00:38:02.780 so you've got a bunch of people

00:38:04.180 who are just,

00:38:05.220 you can't speak to them

00:38:06.120 and you're paying for them

00:38:06.800 to live here

00:38:07.220 and you don't know what they want,

00:38:08.320 you don't know why they're here

00:38:09.160 and I don't think they do either.

00:38:11.280 I think they're just here

00:38:11.940 for the money.

00:38:12.780 Of course.

00:38:13.260 And so it's just like,

00:38:14.880 okay,

00:38:16.220 again,

00:38:16.680 massive betrayal,

00:38:17.740 thanks for paying Serco,

00:38:19.560 by the way.

00:38:20.840 Anyway,

00:38:21.380 so yeah,

00:38:21.800 you are right.

00:38:22.420 They're doing this to save money

00:38:23.840 because the hotels,

00:38:25.720 which,

00:38:26.100 I mean,

00:38:26.380 have the advantage of at least

00:38:27.600 isolating them

00:38:28.420 and concentrating them

00:38:29.340 in,

00:38:30.200 you know,

00:38:30.480 certain places.

00:38:31.620 Yeah,

00:38:31.760 it's costing us 8 million a day,

00:38:33.100 which is 3 billion a year.

00:38:36.020 But they've decided,

00:38:37.300 no,

00:38:37.480 we need to save some money

00:38:38.440 because of course,

00:38:38.840 22 billion pound black holes.

00:38:40.260 We need 44 billion pounds

00:38:42.000 of tax risers. 0.91

00:38:44.440 20 billion over to Ukraine

00:38:45.980 and 20 billion for carbon capture.

00:38:48.640 I don't understand

00:38:49.640 labor economics,

00:38:50.740 to be honest.

00:38:51.720 But anyway,

00:38:52.340 yeah,

00:38:52.540 so the Telegraph reported on this.

00:38:54.020 The reason this is even

00:38:57.480 something we're talking about

00:38:58.420 is because Serco decided

00:38:59.280 to post something

00:38:59.980 on their website

00:39:00.780 and people were like,

00:39:02.320 what?

00:39:03.180 And they were like,

00:39:03.740 oh no,

00:39:04.040 we'll take that down,

00:39:04.840 actually.

00:39:05.440 But it was too late

00:39:06.060 because once it's on the internet,

00:39:07.180 it's on the internet forever,

00:39:08.420 right?

00:39:08.980 So Serco,

00:39:10.680 in promotional literature

00:39:12.040 on their website,

00:39:13.620 the firm boasts

00:39:14.240 that it was already responsible

00:39:15.440 for more than 30,000

00:39:16.460 asylum seekers

00:39:17.100 in an ever-growing portfolio

00:39:18.440 of more than 7,000 properties.

00:39:20.000 Oh,

00:39:20.260 brilliant.

00:39:21.100 It's an economic success

00:39:22.220 for Serco.

00:39:22.760 The move comes

00:39:24.060 after a record new

00:39:25.140 daily boat arrivals

00:39:26.160 set for this month

00:39:27.000 because of course

00:39:27.760 we've got nice weather

00:39:28.600 because we're being betrayed

00:39:29.700 by the god of the sea.

00:39:31.200 The landlords were invited

00:39:32.340 to a Serco event

00:39:33.600 at a four-star hotel

00:39:34.520 in the Malvern Hills

00:39:35.400 next month

00:39:36.300 with a contractor saying

00:39:37.360 it was, quote,

00:39:37.840 looking for landlords,

00:39:38.800 investors and agents

00:39:39.500 with properties

00:39:39.980 in the northwest,

00:39:40.700 the Midlands

00:39:41.060 and the east of England

00:39:41.760 to lease for over five years.

00:39:43.920 So this problem

00:39:44.880 isn't going away

00:39:45.540 anytime soon.

00:39:48.060 A website page

00:39:49.300 with the heading

00:39:49.880 Calling All Landlords

00:39:50.940 told prospective clients

00:39:52.240 We are confident

00:39:53.220 that our lease provision

00:39:54.140 offers an attractive

00:39:54.960 and competitive proposition

00:39:56.420 within the industry.

00:39:57.700 They are promised

00:39:58.180 rent paid on time

00:39:59.520 every month

00:40:00.140 with no arrears

00:40:00.900 because of course

00:40:01.320 it's coming from the government.

00:40:02.180 Why wouldn't they?

00:40:03.140 Of course we can guarantee

00:40:04.100 your rent.

00:40:04.540 We're stealing it

00:40:05.020 from the public.

00:40:06.580 Full repair and maintenance,

00:40:08.300 free property management

00:40:09.280 and utilities

00:40:09.860 and council tax bills

00:40:10.760 paid by Serco.

00:40:11.880 What an amazing deal.

00:40:13.580 What an absolutely

00:40:14.560 incredible deal.

00:40:15.440 If you were a landlord 0.98

00:40:16.260 you would be a madman 0.98

00:40:17.660 to turn this down. 0.97

00:40:19.000 Of course if you're a patriot

00:40:20.000 and there were lots of hotels

00:40:20.980 that just said no

00:40:21.700 we're not doing this

00:40:22.880 but of course

00:40:23.240 more hotels agreed to it

00:40:25.000 but this is the

00:40:26.240 I'm so glad

00:40:27.220 they're being so generous

00:40:28.040 with our money.

00:40:29.320 Isn't that nice?

00:40:29.960 All maintenance repair,

00:40:31.540 property management,

00:40:32.440 utilities and tax bills

00:40:33.520 all paid

00:40:34.400 exactly on the dot

00:40:35.560 on time.

00:40:36.000 for five years

00:40:37.060 every month

00:40:37.520 you get a cheque

00:40:38.520 in your bank account

00:40:39.260 once a month.

00:40:40.180 That's it.

00:40:40.780 Why wouldn't I sell

00:40:41.620 my country out for that?

00:40:42.640 It comes at the low

00:40:43.540 low price of demographic

00:40:45.040 replacement

00:40:45.600 in the end of your nation.

00:40:47.460 But Bo,

00:40:48.320 have you considered

00:40:49.080 who owns the properties

00:40:50.580 to be rented?

00:40:52.740 What, they're already

00:40:53.420 sort of foreign people?

00:40:55.040 What age?

00:40:56.540 Oh right,

00:40:57.240 boomer age.

00:40:58.340 That's correct.

00:40:59.420 I actually forgot

00:41:00.220 to get the link for this

00:41:01.000 but it's something like

00:41:01.820 three trillion in properties

00:41:03.060 that the boomers own. 0.85

00:41:05.640 And they just don't care

00:41:07.100 about the future.

00:41:08.060 Now their pension portfolio

00:41:09.620 isn't performing as it did

00:41:11.920 because Trump

00:41:12.560 and Orange Man bad

00:41:13.540 and there's no businesses

00:41:15.540 left in the country.

00:41:16.460 The only way you can make

00:41:17.500 retirement pay 0.52

00:41:18.140 is to buy property

00:41:18.920 and the only way

00:41:20.020 you can guarantee

00:41:20.640 that income

00:41:21.340 is to have the government

00:41:22.360 pay for it.

00:41:22.900 Solid circuit.

00:41:23.660 When you speak to us

00:41:24.700 older people

00:41:25.300 which I have done

00:41:25.900 a number of times

00:41:26.560 three or four times

00:41:27.220 this exact thing

00:41:27.820 has played out

00:41:28.280 I know it's only

00:41:28.880 anecdotal evidence

00:41:29.880 but you talk to older people

00:41:31.560 and you say

00:41:32.100 what do you think about

00:41:33.080 sort of demographic

00:41:34.680 all sorts of things

00:41:35.600 that are going to

00:41:36.040 are going to play out

00:41:37.340 in the 2050s,

00:41:38.560 2060s and onwards

00:41:39.540 and they say

00:41:40.500 oh I'm going to die 0.91

00:41:42.200 I'll be dead before then. 0.99

00:41:43.100 I'll be dead then. 0.99

00:41:43.620 I want to rip my teeth out 0.98

00:41:44.840 I want to 0.96

00:41:45.220 I'm just going to

00:41:46.000 pull my hair out.

00:41:48.140 Too late for that.

00:41:49.400 I sort of can't believe

00:41:50.480 my ears.

00:41:51.460 Yeah.

00:41:51.620 It's like

00:41:51.920 it's beyond infuriating.

00:41:54.360 Yeah.

00:41:54.800 It's insane.

00:41:55.420 I look at them 0.99

00:41:55.980 like you're insane 1.00

00:41:57.640 insanely 1.00

00:41:58.860 selfish. 0.95

00:42:01.740 That's good.

00:42:02.120 What is that?

00:42:03.280 I mean if it helps

00:42:04.000 not every boomer

00:42:05.060 is like that.

00:42:05.520 It seems to be about

00:42:06.040 half the boomers 0.76

00:42:06.860 that are like that.

00:42:07.920 About a quarter

00:42:08.720 or a third of the boomers

00:42:09.580 that I interact with

00:42:10.240 are utterly based.

00:42:11.540 Some boomers 0.81

00:42:12.320 are way based.

00:42:13.720 Yeah.

00:42:13.980 Yeah.

00:42:14.260 And so to those people

00:42:15.200 out there

00:42:15.660 you're all right.

00:42:16.660 Yeah.

00:42:16.940 Exactly.

00:42:17.420 We don't mean you.

00:42:18.600 But unfortunately

00:42:19.300 about half of the boomers

00:42:20.280 and the boomers 0.96

00:42:20.740 are a large generation

00:42:22.280 as well.

00:42:23.220 Because every now and again

00:42:24.020 on Twitter

00:42:24.600 I'll get a boomer 0.99

00:42:26.720 saying

00:42:27.060 don't smear all boomers.

00:42:28.940 I'm racist.

00:42:29.220 And that's a fair point.

00:42:30.520 Yeah.

00:42:30.960 That's a fair point.

00:42:31.720 I'm super bad.

00:42:33.460 I was based before

00:42:34.480 when using short trousers.

00:42:35.520 Yeah.

00:42:35.700 Exactly.

00:42:36.200 So to those people

00:42:37.140 I do want to say

00:42:38.080 fair enough.

00:42:39.520 And we obviously

00:42:40.140 don't mean you.

00:42:41.140 Yeah.

00:42:41.480 So the data is

00:42:42.680 that the Home Office

00:42:43.340 has 38,000

00:42:45.240 asylum seekers

00:42:46.440 in hotels

00:42:47.640 as of December last year

00:42:48.760 which is costing

00:42:49.600 five and a half million

00:42:50.580 a day

00:42:51.040 which is up from

00:42:52.120 last June

00:42:52.780 which was 29,000.

00:42:54.260 So I mean

00:42:54.640 because we're having

00:42:55.380 record of them

00:42:56.080 just breaking into our country.

00:42:57.920 And Serco

00:42:58.700 said that this will

00:42:59.720 cut the cost

00:43:00.680 from £145 a night

00:43:02.700 and £145?

00:43:05.280 What hotels

00:43:06.040 are you putting them up in?

00:43:07.500 That's the sort of price

00:43:08.320 I'd pay in London.

00:43:09.400 That's half

00:43:09.780 yeah it's decent.

00:43:10.800 That's a great hotel.

00:43:12.100 You know

00:43:12.240 I buy cheap hotels

00:43:13.760 but you know

00:43:14.320 rent cheap hotels

00:43:15.220 but like

00:43:15.560 down to £14 a night.

00:43:17.740 Oh great.

00:43:18.580 I suppose that's something.

00:43:19.560 So at least

00:43:20.200 there will be

00:43:20.740 some economic saving.

00:43:22.740 Brilliant.

00:43:23.980 Still a net drain

00:43:24.820 though obviously.

00:43:25.980 Yeah yeah

00:43:26.360 of course.

00:43:27.140 Why are we paying

00:43:27.820 for anyone?

00:43:28.140 Just to jack them

00:43:28.820 off the cliffs.

00:43:29.280 And as if it's

00:43:29.780 in the 30,000s as well.

00:43:32.780 38,000.

00:43:33.920 As if the real number

00:43:34.960 isn't way higher than that.

00:43:37.000 As if they're not

00:43:37.800 twiddling those.

00:43:39.040 Yeah.

00:43:39.380 Well we won't count these

00:43:40.400 because of XYZ reasons.

00:43:41.760 We won't count those ones.

00:43:43.160 Yeah yeah.

00:43:43.800 The people who are

00:43:44.580 currently being processed

00:43:45.420 maybe.

00:43:46.080 The people are waiting.

00:43:47.380 Any old.

00:43:47.840 That's what Whitehall do.

00:43:49.780 Yeah absolutely.

00:43:50.280 Are those tricks.

00:43:51.280 Absolutely.

00:43:53.160 So yeah.

00:43:54.320 And it seems that

00:43:55.080 Serco put up the list

00:43:56.060 and so the government

00:43:56.880 had to put up a statement

00:43:57.760 in response.

00:43:59.120 Being like

00:43:59.340 ah statement on

00:44:00.540 Serco asylum

00:44:01.260 accommodations list

00:44:02.200 says Keir Starmer.

00:44:03.620 And it's really funny

00:44:05.000 because they're basically

00:44:05.720 like yeah it's all true

00:44:06.940 but like they shouldn't

00:44:08.080 have told you.

00:44:09.380 A home office spokesman

00:44:10.180 said the list of

00:44:11.200 local authorities

00:44:11.920 Serco shared in his

00:44:12.760 website was for

00:44:13.820 landlords.

00:44:14.400 It was not a home office

00:44:15.200 list nor is it a list

00:44:16.420 of any future existing

00:44:17.760 asylum accommodation.

00:44:18.860 It's like bollocks.

00:44:20.920 Why would they have

00:44:21.460 put it up?

00:44:22.320 Of course it is.

00:44:23.420 You know Serco aren't

00:44:24.040 in the business of

00:44:24.720 being frivolous.

00:44:25.660 Their second line of

00:44:26.360 defence to that is

00:44:27.240 what Serco do?

00:44:28.140 They're a private

00:44:28.540 company.

00:44:28.960 They can do what they

00:44:29.460 want.

00:44:29.820 Ah they do say that.

00:44:31.420 Serco is one of

00:44:32.080 several companies

00:44:32.760 contracted by

00:44:33.360 previous government

00:44:33.980 six years ago to

00:44:34.740 provide asylum

00:44:35.320 dispersal.

00:44:36.420 Accommodation in

00:44:37.020 different regions and

00:44:38.060 this list simply

00:44:38.620 appears to reflect the

00:44:39.460 geographical list of

00:44:41.120 local authorities

00:44:41.740 covered by the

00:44:42.260 Serco contracts at

00:44:43.000 that time.

00:44:43.980 Yes but why would we

00:44:44.820 think anything

00:44:45.320 different would come

00:44:46.280 out of this?

00:44:46.800 And if Serco are

00:44:47.440 literally like hey

00:44:48.240 landlords in this

00:44:49.260 area get in contact

00:44:50.280 we want your

00:44:51.000 properties to rent.

00:44:52.840 No no sorry

00:44:53.440 government I think we

00:44:54.180 can take them at

00:44:54.660 their word.

00:44:55.800 I don't think they're

00:44:56.400 tricking us.

00:44:57.660 You know Serco aren't

00:44:58.520 like yeah so six years

00:44:59.440 ago we did this.

00:45:00.740 Like no this is

00:45:01.660 obviously.

00:45:01.960 This is just policy

00:45:02.880 laundering this is isn't

00:45:03.940 it?

00:45:04.080 We'll give it to Serco

00:45:04.780 and it's none of our

00:45:05.740 concern.

00:45:06.840 Yeah.

00:45:07.420 We are restoring order

00:45:08.300 to the asylum system.

00:45:09.320 Sorry God. 0.99

00:45:09.620 And just what a crap 0.98

00:45:11.540 argument that is that 0.99

00:45:13.200 they were contracted

00:45:13.920 by the previous

00:45:14.580 government.

00:45:15.560 It's like so the

00:45:16.040 Tories were punching 0.57

00:45:17.160 you in the face 0.75

00:45:17.700 repeatedly. 0.52

00:45:18.040 Oh yeah yeah.

00:45:18.580 All we're doing is

00:45:19.620 continuing to do that.

00:45:20.880 Yeah.

00:45:21.500 You can't blame us.

00:45:22.600 Yeah.

00:45:22.820 Yeah no that's

00:45:23.280 exactly what's

00:45:23.800 happening.

00:45:24.420 We're restoring order

00:45:25.080 to the asylum system

00:45:25.880 and cutting costs to

00:45:26.700 taxpayers by reducing

00:45:27.520 the number of people

00:45:28.120 blah blah blah.

00:45:28.640 It's like yeah but 0.75

00:45:29.080 just deport them. 0.92

00:45:30.180 And they're like well

00:45:30.720 we removed 24,000

00:45:31.900 people well then get

00:45:32.820 rid of the rest.

00:45:34.400 Like why have any of

00:45:35.440 them here?

00:45:36.360 Anyway they say at the

00:45:37.420 bottom we have no

00:45:38.320 role in Serco

00:45:39.000 communications and

00:45:39.920 understand the page

00:45:40.580 is now being removed.

00:45:41.540 Yeah well there we go.

00:45:42.560 So it was a mess up by

00:45:43.700 Serco.

00:45:44.560 You weren't meant to

00:45:45.160 publish this.

00:45:46.240 It got into the press

00:45:47.160 and now it's been

00:45:48.120 removed because they're

00:45:49.360 ashamed of it.

00:45:50.200 Why have you removed

00:45:51.000 it?

00:45:51.640 Why get it removed?

00:45:52.560 If this is just

00:45:53.420 totally all above board

00:45:54.540 keep it up so we can

00:45:55.720 all see it.

00:45:56.480 Serco were obviously 0.71

00:45:57.300 bragging to the

00:45:58.140 Guardianistas.

00:45:59.400 To the Ash Sarkars. 0.99

00:46:01.000 Probably yeah.

00:46:01.680 I think they were

00:46:02.520 probably just looking

00:46:03.160 for business.

00:46:04.180 Yeah I genuinely think

00:46:04.880 they weren't.

00:46:05.440 They thought they

00:46:06.040 weren't going to get

00:46:06.540 any pushback to this.

00:46:07.300 Why would they think

00:46:07.880 so?

00:46:08.700 It didn't happen

00:46:09.280 under the Conservatives.

00:46:10.340 Right.

00:46:10.740 So why would.

00:46:11.540 Six years ago it's

00:46:12.140 2019.

00:46:13.440 Yeah.

00:46:14.280 When the Boris wave

00:46:15.100 was hitting.

00:46:15.760 It's only people like

00:46:16.560 us that were any

00:46:17.540 pushback.

00:46:17.860 You're not going to

00:46:18.280 get Newsnight talking

00:46:20.240 about this are you?

00:46:21.180 True but people like

00:46:22.880 Rupert Lowe and us

00:46:23.940 and various others

00:46:24.780 you know Lawrence Fox

00:46:25.800 and all that on

00:46:26.540 Twitter like we are

00:46:28.000 talking hundreds of

00:46:28.860 millions of views.

00:46:30.000 You do.

00:46:30.360 I should say as well

00:46:31.320 Asylum at 1999.

00:46:33.060 The dark hand of

00:46:34.160 Blair.

00:46:34.300 Yeah.

00:46:34.640 Everywhere.

00:46:35.600 Yeah exactly.

00:46:36.240 To make sure that

00:46:37.640 they aren't left

00:46:38.600 destitute when the

00:46:39.340 claims are being

00:46:39.720 processed we have to

00:46:40.460 put them up in

00:46:40.880 hotels at your

00:46:41.780 expense.

00:46:42.720 It's like okay that

00:46:43.300 may have made sense

00:46:43.980 when we had like 10

00:46:44.820 a year or something

00:46:45.640 but when we've got

00:46:46.900 thousands a year.

00:46:48.200 Rubbing our noses in

00:46:49.300 diversity now you've

00:46:50.060 broken our nose on the

00:46:51.060 bottom of the barrel

00:46:51.900 of diversity now.

00:46:53.220 I think there's been

00:46:53.440 something like 8,000

00:46:54.300 across this year alone.

00:46:55.820 It's crazy.

00:46:57.020 So anyway yeah so I

00:46:59.540 mean people were like

00:47:00.280 well this is bad I

00:47:01.860 mean this will

00:47:03.520 increase rent prices.

00:47:06.380 Which isn't exactly

00:47:07.480 the real problem.

00:47:08.480 You know the housing

00:47:08.900 crisis is going to get

00:47:09.780 worse.

00:47:10.920 But like okay but

00:47:12.240 that's a downstream

00:47:12.840 effect of what the

00:47:13.580 real issue is which is 0.99

00:47:14.940 stealing my goddamn 1.00

00:47:15.900 money. 1.00

00:47:17.300 Dispossessing me and my

00:47:18.200 children of our

00:47:18.940 paternal inheritance.

00:47:20.820 Like sorry these people

00:47:21.700 have no right to our

00:47:22.500 country and they

00:47:22.920 shouldn't be here. 0.95

00:47:23.580 Get rid of them. 0.55

00:47:24.540 Flooding us with

00:47:25.180 chances.

00:47:26.120 I was actually thinking

00:47:26.860 that.

00:47:27.260 In the asylum system is

00:47:28.740 there any way to say

00:47:29.540 sorry we're you know

00:47:31.040 we've got a massive

00:47:31.760 backlog we can't

00:47:32.860 actually take any more

00:47:33.760 additional applications

00:47:34.600 at the moment.

00:47:35.480 You're going to have

00:47:35.960 to go somewhere else.

00:47:36.980 Because I'm sure the

00:47:37.980 government could do

00:47:38.380 that quite legitimately

00:47:39.120 you know sorry I've got

00:47:41.120 38,000.

00:47:41.940 Sorry we're incompetent.

00:47:43.040 Yeah yeah yeah we've got

00:47:43.840 38,000 people on the

00:47:44.940 waiting list.

00:47:45.520 I can't put any more on.

00:47:47.020 No go elsewhere.

00:47:48.560 I don't think so.

00:47:49.160 I think they'll keep

00:47:49.700 going until literally

00:47:50.960 quite literally everything's

00:47:52.220 full and then you can

00:47:53.580 live on the street and

00:47:54.940 then you can live in a

00:47:55.780 small tent in the in the

00:47:57.960 village common.

00:47:59.200 And even if they did I

00:47:59.980 bet they'd get lefty

00:48:00.740 human rights lawyers going

00:48:01.620 well and article 7 of

00:48:03.580 the ETHR.

00:48:04.320 You can't refuse entry.

00:48:05.300 Exactly it's going to be

00:48:06.120 some absolute nerd who 0.56

00:48:08.600 honestly should have just 0.99

00:48:09.500 been shoved into a

00:48:10.300 locker harder.

00:48:11.000 I wonder what the 13

00:48:11.800 comments are on this

00:48:12.780 article.

00:48:13.700 Well this is an archive

00:48:15.900 because the Telegraph

00:48:17.120 paywall things.

00:48:18.420 So right so yeah so the

00:48:19.980 real problem is the

00:48:20.580 housing crisis of course

00:48:21.440 again like sorry just

00:48:23.100 look at look at these

00:48:24.020 guys.

00:48:24.780 I don't want any of them

00:48:26.160 near any of my children

00:48:27.400 right.

00:48:28.220 Like I just don't know

00:48:30.160 them don't care about 0.99

00:48:31.000 them don't want them 1.00

00:48:31.640 here don't trust them.

00:48:32.960 Anyway so another one by

00:48:34.540 Tom Jones here.

00:48:35.240 I like Tom Jones but

00:48:36.100 complaining about the

00:48:37.640 social contract isn't

00:48:38.980 exactly the issue either

00:48:40.300 I'm afraid.

00:48:41.480 The point is that we're

00:48:42.640 having our rightfully

00:48:43.840 earned money extracted to

00:48:45.040 pay for a bunch of

00:48:45.660 foreigners who ought not 1.00

00:48:46.700 to be here. 0.91

00:48:47.840 No sort of social

00:48:48.620 contract whiff-waff is

00:48:50.000 you know going to like

00:48:52.220 make it so if this was

00:48:53.720 done correctly.

00:48:54.420 Oh the social contract's

00:48:55.260 being restored therefore

00:48:56.280 this is fine.

00:48:56.760 No no no no.

00:48:57.220 No and Tom's a good

00:48:58.340 guy and I'm not trying

00:48:58.980 to have a go.

00:48:59.540 The social contract thing

00:49:00.980 is way in the rearview

00:49:02.180 mirror.

00:49:02.680 Yeah.

00:49:03.180 Way way way way way

00:49:04.440 back.

00:49:04.840 Clement Attlee in the

00:49:06.240 rearview mirror levels.

00:49:07.520 Well we were never a

00:49:08.140 social contract country

00:49:08.940 anyway.

00:49:09.480 Well fair point.

00:49:10.700 Fair point.

00:49:11.660 Yeah it is.

00:49:12.380 Fair point.

00:49:12.980 To have a social contract

00:49:13.880 you literally need a

00:49:14.740 written constitution.

00:49:15.540 We don't have that.

00:49:16.080 We never had that so

00:49:16.980 we're not a social

00:49:17.900 contract country.

00:49:18.640 So again I like Tom

00:49:19.980 Jones a lot he's a

00:49:20.520 nice guy but you know

00:49:22.300 this is just closing the

00:49:24.040 door off the horses

00:49:24.720 bolted years ago.

00:49:26.360 Just very broadly

00:49:27.520 speaking just in a very

00:49:28.640 broad sense extremely

00:49:30.300 broad the idea of

00:49:31.660 there's some sort of

00:49:32.680 there should be some

00:49:33.320 sort of trust between

00:49:34.880 the people and their

00:49:35.760 elected representatives

00:49:36.780 decades and decades

00:49:39.320 ago.

00:49:39.740 And to be honest with you

00:49:41.500 it is actually a really

00:49:42.160 well written article and

00:49:43.600 if it was written like

00:49:44.420 ten years ago it would

00:49:45.840 have been quite you know

00:49:46.960 very incisive and you

00:49:48.240 know pertinent but it's

00:49:50.240 just that we're so far

00:49:51.100 beyond all of this that

00:49:52.640 unfortunately we just have

00:49:54.000 to come to terms with it.

00:49:55.240 And of course like you say

00:49:56.060 yeah it was done by the

00:49:56.900 House it was done by the

00:49:57.640 Tories.

00:49:58.260 It was done five years ago

00:50:00.680 or six years ago or

00:50:01.320 whatever it was by the

00:50:02.220 Tories because for some

00:50:04.740 reason they are just as

00:50:05.960 big a group of traitors as 0.96

00:50:07.460 the Labour Party. 0.79

00:50:08.160 The Labour Party are just 0.98

00:50:09.440 competent traitors that's 0.98

00:50:10.660 the thing the Conservatives 1.00

00:50:12.100 are incompetent traitors 0.99

00:50:13.180 which honestly is kind of 0.98

00:50:15.020 better because at least

00:50:16.960 at least like their

00:50:18.940 failures get to blow up

00:50:19.800 in their faces right.

00:50:20.960 Like I don't want

00:50:21.540 competent treachery like

00:50:23.300 of all the worst of

00:50:24.580 all worlds.

00:50:25.860 Anyway Hewitt says the

00:50:28.420 Lake District Super

00:50:29.360 Mosque suddenly makes 1.00

00:50:30.140 more sense.

00:50:31.180 I think that was being

00:50:32.000 funded by Qatar and it

00:50:33.060 got cancelled didn't it.

00:50:35.180 I don't know the details

00:50:35.980 we could talk about it.

00:50:37.020 It was that the building

00:50:37.620 contractors were not

00:50:38.140 were refusing to work.

00:50:39.420 Yeah based.

00:50:40.180 Yeah.

00:50:40.580 That's the best.

00:50:41.260 Yeah.

00:50:41.580 Good luck.

00:50:42.140 Yeah absolutely.

00:50:42.960 Well done gentlemen.

00:50:44.280 But I don't think that the

00:50:45.560 Lake District Super

00:50:46.200 Mosque is actually in any 0.81

00:50:47.140 way connected to this.

00:50:48.900 I think it's just

00:50:49.220 coincidence.

00:50:49.740 I mean I can't imagine

00:50:50.540 that these absolute

00:50:53.140 chances as you put it

00:50:54.380 Beau.

00:50:55.000 I don't think they go to

00:50:55.740 the mosque all that much.

00:50:57.260 Probably not particularly

00:50:58.100 devout no.

00:50:58.860 No I mean they're wearing

00:50:59.700 their Nikes and their

00:51:00.900 Adidas.

00:51:01.600 Well they will do now.

00:51:03.220 Now that they're not in a

00:51:04.280 Muslim country they'll go to 1.00

00:51:05.320 mosque every Friday.

00:51:06.300 No no no the thing is I

00:51:07.340 don't think this is.

00:51:08.480 So these guys aren't from

00:51:09.880 any one place right.

00:51:10.760 If you've got a bunch of

00:51:11.460 Mirpuri Pakistanis who all 1.00

00:51:13.460 moved to Bradford or

00:51:14.240 something they've got you

00:51:15.460 know they know each other

00:51:16.140 they're related to each

00:51:16.720 other probably more

00:51:18.320 closely related to each

00:51:19.500 other than they should be

00:51:20.100 but they they've got a

00:51:21.980 sense of community and so

00:51:22.860 they're like oh no we're in

00:51:23.760 foreign land we have to go 0.99

00:51:24.700 to the mosque right.

00:51:25.140 These these guys are the 1.00

00:51:26.720 sort of the scum of the 1.00

00:51:27.880 earth who are coming over 1.00

00:51:28.720 these are the chances of

00:51:29.720 the grifters the people

00:51:30.480 that they don't want in

00:51:31.660 their countries you know

00:51:32.720 at all and they're just

00:51:34.320 coming over here to make 0.99

00:51:35.100 money and to shag girls 1.00

00:51:36.460 right.

00:51:37.240 So they're not they're not

00:51:37.980 going to a bloody mosque 1.00

00:51:38.920 rootless family familyless 0.99

00:51:41.600 drifters looking at the

00:51:42.840 number of people on there

00:51:43.680 and the crime stats that

00:51:44.560 you were doing a couple of

00:51:45.380 days ago one of those is

00:51:46.440 an Albanian drug dealer.

00:51:47.980 100% yeah.

00:51:49.820 Fiktagis says none of the

00:51:51.480 leftist MPs or voters would

00:51:52.680 want the newcomers to live in 1.00

00:51:53.560 their areas next to them

00:51:54.300 and their children.

00:51:55.080 Yeah Lisa Nandy is a great

00:51:56.000 example of this where she

00:51:56.960 was like refugees welcome

00:51:57.960 and then the refugees 0.64

00:51:58.960 started harassing 14 year

00:52:00.260 olds on the way to work

00:52:01.000 on the way to school and

00:52:01.940 she was like we need to

00:52:03.000 talk about these refugees

00:52:03.780 guys and say yeah no we're

00:52:05.440 racists according to you

00:52:06.800 Lisa.

00:52:07.420 Wasn't it her father who

00:52:08.600 started the Runny Me

00:52:09.860 Trust or was one of the

00:52:10.840 people that started the

00:52:11.460 Runny Me Trust?

00:52:11.680 Is it?

00:52:12.680 Something like that.

00:52:13.520 She is connected to it.

00:52:14.800 I didn't know that but

00:52:15.860 that would explain it a lot. 0.90

00:52:16.620 Just an arch arch traitor

00:52:18.040 Lisa Nandy.

00:52:19.640 Matt says what caused the

00:52:21.360 Western boom mentality that

00:52:22.500 refused to be

00:52:23.000 inconvenienced or

00:52:23.600 sacrificed to ensure their

00:52:24.440 countries are a good place

00:52:25.200 to live.

00:52:26.200 Liberalism won World War

00:52:27.180 II.

00:52:28.320 That's it.

00:52:29.020 I think.

00:52:30.100 And they told themselves

00:52:32.260 right this is it we're in

00:52:33.280 the end of history we just

00:52:34.460 have to show the

00:52:35.220 communists that it's

00:52:36.420 liberalism that arrives in

00:52:37.440 the end of history and not

00:52:38.200 communism that arrives in

00:52:39.180 the end of history.

00:52:40.060 Because the big actual

00:52:42.260 war in the Cold War was

00:52:43.480 who's going to create the

00:52:45.040 prosperous post-national

00:52:47.080 world?

00:52:48.060 And the communists

00:52:48.640 collapse.

00:52:49.320 And we didn't.

00:52:49.740 So it's like yep that's

00:52:51.140 going to be us.

00:52:52.100 So that's the reason.

00:52:53.420 And the whole point of the

00:52:54.340 end of history is to be

00:52:55.000 liberated from constraints

00:52:56.540 that you didn't choose.

00:52:57.800 So brilliant.

00:53:00.320 John says I hate when

00:53:01.620 boomers say not all

00:53:02.340 boomers.

00:53:02.780 Of course not all boomers.

00:53:04.340 Sounds like a feminist 1.00

00:53:05.260 now.

00:53:06.140 Those are not all men.

00:53:07.760 Just enough men.

00:53:09.180 When boomers talk about 0.96

00:53:10.320 millennials I don't say not

00:53:11.460 me.

00:53:12.080 Once again the boomers can 1.00

00:53:12.940 only think about

00:53:13.360 themselves.

00:53:14.100 Yeah.

00:53:14.400 And that is also a true 0.81

00:53:15.880 thing.

00:53:16.100 You know women are 1.00

00:53:18.840 shorter than men.

00:53:19.920 Well I'm not shorter than

00:53:20.740 men.

00:53:21.360 Yeah.

00:53:21.780 Right.

00:53:22.620 That's a good point.

00:53:24.380 Lieutenant says have you

00:53:26.380 guys heard recently that

00:53:27.620 a Royal Marine has been

00:53:28.420 interrogated by the

00:53:29.180 British establishment

00:53:29.780 voicing concerns about

00:53:31.040 DI in the army.

00:53:32.280 He was treated the same

00:53:32.940 way as Callum was when he

00:53:34.000 came back to Britain.

00:53:35.040 I have not seen that.

00:53:36.140 I saw that in passing.

00:53:38.040 Yeah you get one of those

00:53:38.740 stories about every sort of

00:53:39.600 six months where somebody

00:53:40.680 comes out and says they're

00:53:41.540 dropping standards to

00:53:42.740 increase the representation

00:53:44.740 in ex-military and then he

00:53:47.420 gets absolutely hounded by

00:53:48.220 the establishment.

00:53:49.160 Yeah.

00:53:49.720 So yeah.

00:53:51.520 No I haven't I I have I

00:53:53.300 personally haven't heard of

00:53:53.980 this one but the thing is

00:53:54.680 they're they're not rare so

00:53:56.080 you know I just take it as

00:53:57.560 a given that that's what

00:53:58.740 they do.

00:53:59.280 No last one was fighter

00:54:00.220 pilots this one's the Royal

00:54:01.760 Marines the next one will be 0.99

00:54:03.100 somewhere else.

00:54:04.040 Amazing.

00:54:04.940 Right well with that let's

00:54:06.060 move on.

00:54:07.200 Right.

00:54:08.100 Well that's my bit.

00:54:09.740 And in my quest to do

00:54:11.260 perennial sections last time I

00:54:12.820 came here I was talking about

00:54:13.840 international regulation and

00:54:15.680 saying that you know which

00:54:16.600 is something perennial.

00:54:17.620 Yeah voting doesn't matter

00:54:18.600 because the International

00:54:19.540 Maritime Organization runs

00:54:20.780 everything anyway.

00:54:22.160 I thought I'd come to talk

00:54:23.500 about how voting doesn't

00:54:24.460 matter because what makes

00:54:26.140 your societies a nice place

00:54:27.420 to live is the fact that you

00:54:28.880 make it a nice place to live.

00:54:31.420 So a lot of what I do people

00:54:34.400 know me on Twitter for doing a

00:54:35.740 lot of volunteer work and

00:54:37.680 being a sort of pillar of the

00:54:38.920 community and I think it's

00:54:41.660 because really as right wingers

00:54:43.500 we seem to be very very quick

00:54:45.520 to run from confrontation.

00:54:47.480 We're talking about the

00:54:48.400 conservatives in Canada you

00:54:50.260 know there was a

00:54:50.900 confrontation there with

00:54:51.820 Trump ran away from it lost

00:54:53.660 and with the Tories and

00:54:56.160 immigration and all the rest 0.56

00:54:57.060 of it and you see it.

00:54:58.400 Nigel Farage and mass

00:54:59.840 deportations.

00:55:01.060 Well I wouldn't I wouldn't

00:55:01.840 want to be a racist.

00:55:02.960 I don't want to have my name

00:55:03.780 associated with mass

00:55:04.380 deportations.

00:55:05.100 Why not Kissed Armouries?

00:55:06.620 Yeah.

00:55:06.940 But anyway sorry.

00:55:07.580 Yeah so one of the examples

00:55:10.320 of that is National Trust

00:55:11.500 brilliant astute organisation

00:55:14.680 historic looks after an awful

00:55:16.280 lot of our national heritage

00:55:18.280 and our story in some

00:55:19.620 wonderful places.

00:55:20.860 You would think it would be

00:55:21.460 the most conservative

00:55:22.140 institution in the country.

00:55:23.400 Yes.

00:55:23.840 There was a couple of

00:55:25.280 entryist bad apples you know

00:55:27.520 there was a little bit of

00:55:28.720 woke as the Daily Mail likes

00:55:31.020 to say and 89,000 members

00:55:34.700 was it it lost 89,000

00:55:36.820 members last year.

00:55:37.920 I mean doesn't this have

00:55:38.800 like millions of members

00:55:39.720 though?

00:55:40.440 Yeah it's quite a lot.

00:55:41.860 I mean yeah we're members

00:55:42.840 because if you visit two

00:55:44.540 places a year it works out

00:55:45.820 yeah.

00:55:46.160 Exactly save money.

00:55:46.800 There's also English

00:55:47.740 Heritage.

00:55:48.860 Yes.

00:55:49.680 I think I'm a member of

00:55:50.540 that.

00:55:50.860 And I've in the past I've

00:55:52.680 been a member of both the

00:55:54.020 National Trust and English

00:55:54.900 Heritage but not four years 0.55

00:55:56.400 because even I think when I

00:55:59.320 was relatively new or when

00:56:00.440 Lotus CETUS was relatively

00:56:01.660 new I did a segment about

00:56:03.760 the subversion of the

00:56:05.620 National Trust and or

00:56:06.520 English Heritage but 89,000

00:56:09.080 the margins at the

00:56:11.340 National Trust maybe you're

00:56:12.120 going to go on to talk

00:56:12.620 about this but the margins

00:56:13.400 have always been quite slim

00:56:14.860 they never they've never

00:56:16.020 been swimming in money.

00:56:18.040 No.

00:56:18.740 So to lose 89,000 to me

00:56:21.240 suggests something like an

00:56:23.820 implosion.

00:56:24.700 Yeah.

00:56:25.100 But the fact I want to I

00:56:27.000 want to say is you know

00:56:28.060 there was a couple of

00:56:29.560 left-wingers got into the

00:56:30.840 National Trust got into a

00:56:32.660 position of reasonable

00:56:33.700 authority put up a single

00:56:35.060 pride flag.

00:56:35.880 Yeah.

00:56:36.240 And 90,000 people left

00:56:38.280 instead of telling you know 0.99

00:56:39.800 the woke is just to bugger 0.99

00:56:40.800 off. 0.98

00:56:41.320 Yeah.

00:56:41.940 And that would have been

00:56:42.700 the end of it.

00:56:43.480 Seeding the ground.

00:56:44.420 Yeah.

00:56:44.740 And they've seeded the

00:56:45.460 ground and then they go to

00:56:46.400 this thing is it called

00:56:47.060 historic houses and then

00:56:48.820 but it's oh we'll just

00:56:50.200 build another one or we'll

00:56:51.260 just build another one.

00:56:52.700 I'm very tired of this

00:56:53.960 conservative attitude

00:56:54.760 actually where it's like

00:56:56.440 yeah we'll build a new

00:56:57.760 institution.

00:56:58.420 It's like then we're just

00:56:59.460 giving them our old one.

00:57:00.820 Yeah.

00:57:01.280 Just giving them over.

00:57:02.200 And I saw all that

00:57:03.480 legitimacy and of course

00:57:04.580 all they'll do is they'll

00:57:05.280 put two subversives in your

00:57:06.400 new place and then you'll

00:57:07.480 leave that. 0.85

00:57:08.100 Exactly.

00:57:08.540 And all that effort.

00:57:09.300 And I have this with like

00:57:11.040 conservatives in America

00:57:12.120 they're like oh I just want

00:57:13.620 to give California to

00:57:15.380 Canada and then we can

00:57:16.920 live happily.

00:57:17.420 It's like what you want to

00:57:18.080 seed like you know a third

00:57:19.600 of America to the woke to

00:57:20.880 the communists.

00:57:21.940 Why aren't you taking that

00:57:22.800 back.

00:57:23.340 It's also been announced I

00:57:24.200 think California is

00:57:25.120 something like the seventh

00:57:25.820 largest economy on earth.

00:57:27.100 Yeah.

00:57:27.560 It's bigger than Britain.

00:57:28.720 Yeah.

00:57:28.860 So you want to give you

00:57:29.800 want to give Canada the

00:57:30.860 whole of Silicon Valley.

00:57:32.160 Yeah.

00:57:32.460 Genius genius.

00:57:33.320 And the same people then

00:57:34.360 criticize someone like Scott

00:57:35.600 Presler for getting on the

00:57:36.600 ground and actually

00:57:37.160 registering voters and

00:57:38.160 stuff like that.

00:57:38.620 It's like you want a

00:57:39.440 million of him going around

00:57:40.720 every day in every place

00:57:42.420 getting more people on your

00:57:43.760 side.

00:57:44.180 What are you doing.

00:57:44.900 It is capitulation of

00:57:46.260 course.

00:57:46.740 Completely.

00:57:47.180 Of course we've had

00:57:47.800 something some historians

00:57:49.300 call the long peace i.e.

00:57:51.760 no massive war since

00:57:53.040 World War Two.

00:57:53.840 Yeah.

00:57:53.980 So even the oldest

00:57:56.100 people a lot of people

00:57:57.800 that are members of the

00:57:58.760 National Trust quite old

00:58:00.140 they've never ever had to

00:58:02.360 draw a line in the sand

00:58:04.680 no and square their

00:58:06.540 shoulders and stick their 0.54

00:58:07.400 chest out and fight to the

00:58:08.540 bitter end.

00:58:09.180 They've never ever had to

00:58:10.140 do it their whole life.

00:58:11.180 Even take something of a

00:58:12.360 beating.

00:58:13.380 Yeah.

00:58:13.620 I don't want to be

00:58:14.600 unpopular.

00:58:15.620 It's like well you're going

00:58:16.200 to have to be unfortunately.

00:58:17.160 Yeah.

00:58:17.380 So I looked at English

00:58:18.880 Heritage English Heritage is

00:58:20.180 actually doing all right in

00:58:21.340 its membership numbers but

00:58:23.000 its workforce might have to

00:58:24.240 shrink by 7% because of

00:58:26.240 funding concerns.

00:58:27.360 Really?

00:58:27.720 And they cite the cost of

00:58:28.880 living and the rising

00:58:29.620 prices of everything and

00:58:30.520 all the rest of it.

00:58:31.540 But so English Heritage 0.98

00:58:32.580 aren't in the best of

00:58:33.700 places.

00:58:35.120 In my own field which is

00:58:37.460 of course steam engines

00:58:38.760 the National Railway

00:58:40.240 Museum.

00:58:42.080 It's they dropped the

00:58:43.960 National bit about two

00:58:45.300 years ago.

00:58:46.320 So they are now the

00:58:47.360 Railway Museum.

00:58:48.840 Why would they?

00:58:49.420 Oh.

00:58:49.800 Well this is.

00:58:50.860 Why am I asking?

00:58:52.020 I know the reason.

00:58:52.600 Here are our master plan

00:58:53.940 becoming the world's

00:58:55.420 railway museum.

00:58:57.200 It can't be ours.

00:58:58.780 It can't be it can't be

00:58:59.680 this one.

00:59:00.400 It's just the globalists

00:59:01.180 everywhere.

00:59:01.920 They've put a Chinese QJ in 1.00

00:59:03.380 the main auditorium and

00:59:05.240 that's it.

00:59:05.660 It's the world's you know

00:59:06.680 and they've got a

00:59:07.200 Eurostar.

00:59:08.100 Okay well let's talk about

00:59:09.020 the world's history of

00:59:09.880 railways.

00:59:10.400 Where does it begin?

00:59:11.640 Yeah.

00:59:12.020 I know.

00:59:13.780 So it's they're trying to

00:59:17.040 do this because they're

00:59:17.700 trying to appeal you know

00:59:18.960 they're trying to appeal to

00:59:19.960 government funding and

00:59:20.960 things like that and

00:59:22.340 it's infuriating and they

00:59:24.080 will be losing support in

00:59:25.940 the steam scene to this.

00:59:27.960 Not that it's working

00:59:28.820 anyway because there's

00:59:31.080 15 million quid's worth of

00:59:32.300 funding there which is in

00:59:33.780 dispute because it was

00:59:34.900 awarded by the Tory

00:59:35.780 government and Labour are

00:59:37.980 saying that it might be

00:59:39.220 withdrawn because one of the

00:59:41.120 big things they're trying to

00:59:41.780 save money on is cultural

00:59:42.780 projects.

00:59:43.340 Well they've got budgetary

00:59:44.160 concerns.

00:59:44.960 They do indeed.

00:59:45.560 Now unfortunately this

00:59:47.480 isn't a government

00:59:47.940 investment so they don't

00:59:49.440 want to do it.

00:59:50.120 Yeah but it was it it's

00:59:51.060 also the Victorian Albert

00:59:52.320 Museum in Dundee and the

00:59:54.800 Leeds Poetry Centre.

00:59:56.120 This was the levelling up

00:59:57.800 funding I see.

00:59:59.540 So all that's going.

01:00:02.380 And of course it leads to

01:00:03.500 things like this which is

01:00:04.820 demolition of a dangerous

01:00:06.020 building.

01:00:06.680 Now it just looks fairly

01:00:07.460 inconsequential there but

01:00:08.760 that building there is

01:00:10.180 actually one of the last

01:00:11.580 parts of the original

01:00:13.340 Robert Stevenson and

01:00:15.080 Company works in Newcastle

01:00:17.440 which was the first ever

01:00:18.700 railway locomotive

01:00:20.820 builders and it was built

01:00:21.680 in 1825.

01:00:23.240 You would think this would

01:00:24.000 be something we'd take

01:00:24.800 care of and make a museum

01:00:25.980 out of.

01:00:26.220 Yes but there's nobody on

01:00:28.200 the ground to look after

01:00:29.420 it.

01:00:29.660 It's exactly the same with 1.00

01:00:30.700 the goddamn Mechanics 0.99

01:00:31.480 Institute here. 0.99

01:00:32.240 It's a gorgeous building.

01:00:33.380 It's amazing and it's the

01:00:34.260 birthplace of the NHS we

01:00:35.440 keep getting told.

01:00:36.560 It's just in a complete

01:00:37.380 state of disrepair

01:00:38.140 covered in scaffolding

01:00:39.260 and nothing's happened in

01:00:39.980 20 years.

01:00:40.500 Yeah.

01:00:40.900 What are we doing?

01:00:41.600 Buy it.

01:00:42.000 Just the government buy it.

01:00:42.920 Have it as a museum.

01:00:43.700 What are you doing?

01:00:44.580 So this one they just

01:00:45.480 go yeah but it's full of

01:00:46.320 asbestos.

01:00:47.720 Help then.

01:00:48.280 What have you been

01:00:48.720 waiting for?

01:00:49.280 And of course what's it

01:00:49.980 going to be turned into?

01:00:50.840 Well it's going to be

01:00:51.540 turned into housing as

01:00:53.140 part of the Stevenson

01:00:54.280 District.

01:00:55.700 So you get a weird

01:00:56.880 facsimile of what it

01:00:58.080 actually was and then

01:00:59.280 some hutches.

01:01:00.820 And although he's not

01:01:01.540 meant.

01:01:01.620 Filled by a first

01:01:02.460 generation.

01:01:03.680 Filled by Circo.

01:01:04.720 The spokesman for the

01:01:05.820 property developer

01:01:06.380 company.

01:01:06.820 He's not actually named

01:01:07.480 here but in a different

01:01:08.520 article he had a just as

01:01:10.260 British as your surname.

01:01:11.300 Oh right.

01:01:13.020 Need I say any more?

01:01:14.940 So really one of the

01:01:16.420 problems that we're

01:01:18.020 finding is that in the

01:01:19.040 voluntary sector there's

01:01:20.000 been an absolute collapse

01:01:21.320 in the amount of

01:01:22.960 volunteering.

01:01:24.560 Here are the

01:01:25.340 demographics of

01:01:26.020 volunteers.

01:01:27.100 This is from

01:01:28.140 is it like the

01:01:29.780 National Civic

01:01:30.780 Engagement?

01:01:31.120 Yeah the Civil Society

01:01:31.940 Almanac.

01:01:32.880 So there we are.

01:01:33.580 For formal volunteering

01:01:34.480 it's people aged between

01:01:35.720 65 and 74.

01:01:37.940 Awesome.

01:01:38.160 And the lowest levels

01:01:39.560 are between 25 and

01:01:40.620 34.

01:01:41.280 Yeah.

01:01:41.560 So.

01:01:42.180 This is not surprising

01:01:43.140 anyway because if you

01:01:44.120 think about it like the

01:01:45.300 mindset of people who are

01:01:47.220 young like back in the

01:01:50.060 60s the government wasn't

01:01:52.940 the author of everything

01:01:54.600 right.

01:01:55.860 Now the government since

01:01:57.340 since 1997 the government

01:01:59.340 has taken on this full

01:02:00.100 spectrum perspective

01:02:01.020 where charity is

01:02:02.580 essentially irrelevant

01:02:03.240 because the government

01:02:03.920 will just tax people and

01:02:05.200 redistribute that money.

01:02:06.000 And so why would young

01:02:07.260 people bother volunteering?

01:02:08.740 There's no need for it.

01:02:09.740 Is it charity has

01:02:10.440 essentially become NGOs?

01:02:11.960 Yeah.

01:02:12.320 It's just things that

01:02:13.160 government gives money to

01:02:14.360 as opposed to something

01:02:15.220 you do in your own

01:02:16.660 correct society.

01:02:17.960 The number of times I've

01:02:18.700 gone to a National Trust

01:02:19.880 a smaller more obscure

01:02:21.280 site of the National Trust

01:02:22.720 or English Heritage

01:02:23.420 not a big famous thing but

01:02:25.140 a lesser known one.

01:02:26.780 And I'm the youngest

01:02:27.820 person there by a long

01:02:28.800 way.

01:02:30.360 And yeah the volunteers

01:02:31.440 of course are that age

01:02:33.300 as well.

01:02:34.020 They're also retired so

01:02:35.120 they've got time.

01:02:35.860 Right yeah.

01:02:36.700 But it's absolutely

01:02:37.740 tragic because you know

01:02:38.580 that old dear who was 1.00

01:02:39.440 sat in the corner of the

01:02:40.740 dining room or whatever

01:02:41.680 spent 40 years there

01:02:43.040 you know researching all

01:02:43.960 that and once she left 0.95

01:02:45.660 because she was made to

01:02:46.600 feel awkward or you know

01:02:47.740 stale and pale or

01:02:48.900 whatever it was that's it

01:02:50.100 all that knowledge is

01:02:50.800 gone.

01:02:52.120 And it just hollows out

01:02:53.820 the experience.

01:02:54.900 So volunteering has

01:02:57.180 been in sharp decline

01:02:58.360 since the COVID

01:02:58.960 pandemic.

01:03:00.440 That is a choice of

01:03:01.800 picture.

01:03:02.160 It's the Guardian.

01:03:05.100 This is actually from May

01:03:06.040 2023 and it was one of the

01:03:07.480 things that they noticed

01:03:08.880 you know the numbers

01:03:10.920 aren't great.

01:03:13.820 What's the second

01:03:14.520 generation Caribbean,

01:03:16.620 Nigerian, Indian people

01:03:18.180 don't want to volunteer

01:03:19.420 for the National

01:03:20.920 Trust?

01:03:21.160 13% of people there

01:03:25.100 volunteering last year

01:03:26.280 so that would have been

01:03:26.740 2022 with 17 pre-pandemic

01:03:29.300 which is 1.6 million

01:03:31.440 fewer people volunteering.

01:03:33.920 That's giant.

01:03:35.000 That's horrendous.

01:03:36.160 That's huge.

01:03:36.900 And you wonder why all of

01:03:38.060 a sudden you know

01:03:39.040 there's not the Amdram 0.99

01:03:40.520 clubs not putting on

01:03:41.720 shows anymore.

01:03:42.780 If it was a reduction

01:03:43.980 of 10,000 people

01:03:45.360 that would be a crisis

01:03:46.420 for them.

01:03:47.340 Yeah.

01:03:48.900 But that,

01:03:49.700 what did you say?

01:03:50.500 1.6 million.

01:03:52.580 That's crazy.

01:03:54.120 So,

01:03:55.680 the whole thing's,

01:03:56.280 that whole edifice is

01:03:57.180 going to collapse.

01:03:58.220 Yeah.

01:03:58.860 And the thing,

01:03:59.360 the thing I've been

01:04:00.360 banging the drum on for

01:04:01.240 years is that the reason

01:04:02.560 that the woke get to any 0.98

01:04:03.700 position of authority in

01:04:04.940 any organisation is

01:04:06.480 simply because they're

01:04:07.120 prepared to turn up on a

01:04:07.960 Thursday evening and

01:04:09.140 hang coats up and take

01:04:10.380 coats from people who

01:04:11.340 have attended.

01:04:12.280 They're prepared to do

01:04:13.020 it for the cause.

01:04:14.300 They think,

01:04:14.960 and I literally,

01:04:15.960 it was the Young Humanist

01:04:16.880 Society I went to a few,

01:04:19.120 you know,

01:04:19.300 like 10 years ago or

01:04:20.120 whatever.

01:04:20.600 And I saw exactly this

01:04:21.800 happening where some

01:04:23.340 wokey on the door,

01:04:24.480 everyone else was

01:04:25.080 completely normal,

01:04:25.720 but it was the wokey on

01:04:26.460 the door taking your

01:04:27.140 coats.

01:04:27.660 And then when I ended up

01:04:28.300 speaking to them,

01:04:28.800 they just came out with

01:04:29.520 those woke garbled 0.98

01:04:30.160 nonsense. 0.57

01:04:30.660 And I was like,

01:04:31.040 right.

01:04:31.760 Oh.

01:04:32.600 And then like literally

01:04:33.740 the year later,

01:04:34.600 the Young Human Society

01:04:35.280 were and were

01:04:35.800 and suddenly woke,

01:04:36.420 blah, blah, blah.

01:04:36.780 And it's like,

01:04:37.560 it didn't have to go

01:04:38.480 this way,

01:04:38.780 but it's just we allow

01:04:39.420 these people to take

01:04:40.000 over because we're not

01:04:40.660 prepared to be the guy

01:04:41.320 standing on the door

01:04:41.900 taking the coats.

01:04:42.960 Their resentment and

01:04:43.860 hatred and self-loathing

01:04:44.980 is plenty enough to

01:04:46.160 motivate them.

01:04:46.680 It's quite an

01:04:47.200 animated force.

01:04:47.900 Yeah.

01:04:49.280 So.

01:04:50.960 Oh no,

01:04:51.620 that was that way.

01:04:52.700 So this is the community

01:04:56.280 first lot have done a

01:04:57.540 thing on causes and

01:04:58.780 solutions.

01:04:59.220 And I thought it was

01:04:59.840 quite interesting just to

01:05:00.660 go through a couple of

01:05:01.380 these,

01:05:01.640 because as we say,

01:05:03.040 you know,

01:05:03.360 why is this coming down?

01:05:04.440 So we've got time

01:05:04.940 pressures and changing

01:05:05.880 work patterns.

01:05:06.900 You know,

01:05:07.140 I think people are

01:05:07.760 feeling the pinch as

01:05:08.580 along with economic

01:05:09.740 pressures,

01:05:10.220 because we're all poor

01:05:10.980 now because we're not

01:05:11.740 allowed to do anything.

01:05:13.400 The perception of

01:05:14.340 volunteering is a

01:05:15.000 really interesting one.

01:05:16.700 Younger generations

01:05:17.340 might view it as unpaid

01:05:18.480 chore,

01:05:19.080 unconnected to their

01:05:20.160 career aspirations.

01:05:21.040 I think that's one of

01:05:22.220 that actually shows

01:05:23.040 something really

01:05:23.520 devastating there,

01:05:24.400 that civil society is

01:05:25.500 basically dying.

01:05:26.680 Yes.

01:05:27.400 We don't do things

01:05:29.300 anymore just because

01:05:30.120 it's the correct thing

01:05:31.020 to do.

01:05:31.780 And if anything,

01:05:32.740 I want people to take

01:05:33.560 away from this section

01:05:34.420 that it is the right

01:05:35.400 thing to do.

01:05:35.960 And you watching this

01:05:37.480 need to finish watching

01:05:38.920 the podcast and then

01:05:40.120 go out and do it.

01:05:41.640 Because,

01:05:42.300 yeah,

01:05:42.540 if it's not us,

01:05:43.640 it will be some

01:05:45.020 wokest.

01:05:46.400 I think people

01:05:47.220 underestimate the

01:05:48.700 intangible

01:05:50.440 benefits of doing

01:05:51.700 this,

01:05:52.020 which is like,

01:05:53.560 oh,

01:05:54.020 this has no

01:05:54.500 connection to my

01:05:55.100 career aspirations.

01:05:56.060 It's like,

01:05:56.280 well,

01:05:56.380 you don't know who

01:05:56.800 you're going to

01:05:57.000 meet,

01:05:57.500 right?

01:05:58.020 And if you meet

01:05:59.100 some chap who's

01:06:00.480 starting a business

01:06:01.500 or something,

01:06:01.900 and he wants to

01:06:02.260 hire a manager for

01:06:03.100 the region,

01:06:04.100 well,

01:06:04.640 someone who

01:06:05.520 willingly volunteers

01:06:06.540 to organize these

01:06:07.440 things for free,

01:06:08.640 that's a notch on

01:06:09.580 your CV above

01:06:10.600 some guy who

01:06:11.320 doesn't do this,

01:06:12.160 right?

01:06:12.680 And so,

01:06:13.280 you don't know

01:06:14.360 what networking

01:06:15.020 potential this

01:06:15.660 actually has,

01:06:16.500 which is what it

01:06:17.220 used to be for

01:06:17.800 the boomers,

01:06:18.420 frankly.

01:06:18.640 And obviously

01:06:20.320 the next one,

01:06:20.880 it says lack

01:06:21.600 of awareness

01:06:22.080 and accessibility.

01:06:23.240 I think this is

01:06:23.880 a bit of a

01:06:24.540 stretch in the

01:06:25.280 social media age,

01:06:26.220 really,

01:06:26.840 that people just

01:06:27.340 don't know that

01:06:28.660 volunteering opportunities

01:06:29.840 are out there.

01:06:30.700 You know,

01:06:31.240 I can believe this

01:06:32.360 actually,

01:06:32.640 because it's the

01:06:33.680 sort of siloing

01:06:34.340 effect of social

01:06:35.120 media,

01:06:35.460 right?

01:06:36.000 If it never

01:06:36.540 pops up on your

01:06:37.120 feed,

01:06:37.500 then you just

01:06:37.980 don't know about

01:06:38.480 it.

01:06:38.840 I think as well,

01:06:39.340 a lot of the

01:06:39.760 people I've had a

01:06:40.360 chat with about

01:06:41.180 this at various

01:06:42.600 events is they say,

01:06:43.400 well,

01:06:43.520 I live in a city.

01:06:45.260 And you go,

01:06:45.600 okay.

01:06:46.100 There's loads

01:06:46.860 more.

01:06:49.100 It's like,

01:06:49.720 well,

01:06:49.860 everywhere's got a

01:06:50.420 parish council,

01:06:51.920 you know,

01:06:52.460 everything's,

01:06:53.160 and in fact,

01:06:53.940 the park's probably

01:06:55.200 got a volunteer

01:06:55.860 organ.

01:06:56.100 You probably have

01:06:56.720 a museum.

01:06:57.460 There's probably,

01:06:58.180 you know,

01:06:58.840 two dozen within

01:06:59.640 a mile of your

01:07:00.440 house.

01:07:01.280 And you just need

01:07:01.860 to go out and

01:07:02.340 find them,

01:07:02.740 really.

01:07:03.580 So,

01:07:03.940 you know,

01:07:04.280 what can be

01:07:04.940 done?

01:07:05.560 We've got to

01:07:06.000 promote flexible

01:07:06.840 volunteering options.

01:07:08.760 I think that's,

01:07:09.740 yeah,

01:07:10.160 micro volunteering

01:07:10.980 and all the rest

01:07:11.480 of it.

01:07:11.600 this is something

01:07:12.120 that I've

01:07:12.600 actually come

01:07:13.040 across through

01:07:14.700 the Robey Trust

01:07:15.760 is a lot of

01:07:17.460 it's things like

01:07:18.160 the Duke of

01:07:18.540 Edinburgh's award

01:07:19.180 is a really,

01:07:20.460 really good one

01:07:21.080 and other sort

01:07:22.800 of things.

01:07:23.160 I've done little

01:07:23.880 bits with

01:07:24.740 apprentices where

01:07:25.640 they need a

01:07:26.580 community engagement

01:07:27.340 thing and they've

01:07:28.020 come and helped

01:07:28.440 us for a couple

01:07:28.860 of afternoons.

01:07:30.540 The incentives,

01:07:31.600 a lot of

01:07:31.900 professional

01:07:32.540 registration stuff.

01:07:34.580 I know that

01:07:34.880 the IMEC

01:07:35.700 and the,

01:07:36.340 to get charter's

01:07:37.160 engineering status,

01:07:38.060 you have to show

01:07:38.600 work in the

01:07:40.740 community and

01:07:41.620 sort of extolling

01:07:42.620 the virtues of

01:07:43.320 engineering.

01:07:44.920 Public awareness

01:07:45.720 campaigns,

01:07:46.580 yeah,

01:07:46.860 using social

01:07:48.240 media,

01:07:48.760 national and

01:07:49.180 local stuff.

01:07:50.740 Again,

01:07:51.440 things like the

01:07:52.260 National Trust,

01:07:52.980 it's fairly

01:07:53.340 self-evident.

01:07:54.280 You just go

01:07:54.720 along to a,

01:07:55.780 you know,

01:07:56.220 a National Trust

01:07:56.800 event and the

01:07:57.760 same with English

01:07:58.220 Heritage.

01:07:59.460 Corporate

01:07:59.900 volunteering,

01:08:00.640 that's quite

01:08:00.980 an interesting,

01:08:01.580 that interest

01:08:02.080 to go back

01:08:02.480 to corporate

01:08:02.900 social responsibility

01:08:03.920 and of course

01:08:04.560 ESG and that

01:08:05.760 sort of stuff.

01:08:07.440 What is the

01:08:08.260 corporate social

01:08:08.980 responsibility?

01:08:09.720 What is that?

01:08:10.200 That is

01:08:10.840 getting brownie

01:08:12.480 points for,

01:08:13.920 it's a

01:08:14.340 WEF thing.

01:08:15.380 Okay.

01:08:15.940 Yeah,

01:08:16.220 fostering team

01:08:16.900 building,

01:08:17.400 employee satisfaction,

01:08:18.580 positive brand

01:08:19.080 reputation,

01:08:20.280 yeah,

01:08:21.040 business community

01:08:21.740 to adopt such

01:08:22.540 programs.

01:08:23.060 So it's all

01:08:23.680 sort of,

01:08:24.140 you know,

01:08:24.480 we're nice

01:08:25.360 people by our

01:08:26.260 stuff.

01:08:27.240 And finally,

01:08:28.180 the engagement

01:08:28.640 of the younger

01:08:29.140 generations.

01:08:30.340 Unfortunately,

01:08:31.080 the last bit

01:08:31.600 of the paragraph

01:08:32.080 where it says,

01:08:32.960 additionally,

01:08:33.520 using social media

01:08:34.600 to promote

01:08:35.160 volunteering in a

01:08:36.420 way that resonates

01:08:37.080 with younger

01:08:37.720 audiences by

01:08:38.660 aligning

01:08:39.040 opportunities with

01:08:39.860 their passions,

01:08:40.540 such as

01:08:41.020 environmental and

01:08:42.100 social justice

01:08:42.760 cautions.

01:08:43.960 And this is one

01:08:44.800 of the things

01:08:45.260 that I find

01:08:49.220 infuriating.

01:08:49.920 you look at the

01:08:52.060 demographics,

01:08:53.580 voluntary sectors

01:08:54.560 are dominated by

01:08:55.500 the boomers,

01:08:56.080 the boomers get 1.00

01:08:56.580 their information

01:08:57.200 from TV,

01:08:58.860 there aren't any

01:08:59.520 youngsters because

01:09:00.320 you haven't shown

01:09:00.940 up to go,

01:09:03.720 well,

01:09:03.880 what do young

01:09:04.440 people want?

01:09:05.100 So where do

01:09:05.520 they go?

01:09:05.880 They go to the

01:09:06.360 telly.

01:09:06.660 And what do

01:09:06.940 they see on the

01:09:07.360 telly?

01:09:07.660 They see some

01:09:08.280 blue-haired weirdo.

01:09:09.800 And they go,

01:09:10.180 well,

01:09:10.380 that's a young

01:09:11.640 person,

01:09:12.100 so we must make

01:09:13.060 our organisation

01:09:14.020 like them.

01:09:15.600 And one of the

01:09:16.660 big things that

01:09:17.300 we can all do

01:09:18.000 is simply turn

01:09:18.720 up and go,

01:09:19.240 no,

01:09:19.360 actually,

01:09:19.760 young people

01:09:20.180 are just

01:09:20.540 normal.

01:09:22.220 And,

01:09:22.660 you know,

01:09:23.020 we do actually

01:09:23.540 align and I

01:09:24.460 want to be a

01:09:25.000 member of the

01:09:25.340 National Trust

01:09:25.960 or I want to

01:09:26.460 be a member

01:09:26.860 of the local

01:09:27.700 museum because

01:09:28.780 I want to

01:09:29.260 preserve the

01:09:29.680 heritage.

01:09:29.960 It's not so I

01:09:30.640 can turn it

01:09:31.040 into a social

01:09:32.160 justice anti-slavery

01:09:33.600 campaign.

01:09:34.540 I bet if

01:09:35.300 English Heritage

01:09:36.020 came to me

01:09:36.580 and were like,

01:09:36.920 Carl,

01:09:37.200 we need a

01:09:38.180 based campaign

01:09:39.340 that will appeal

01:09:39.820 to the Zoomers,

01:09:40.780 I'd be like,

01:09:41.080 I've got you

01:09:41.760 covered on this.

01:09:42.640 It's not going

01:09:44.000 to be very

01:09:44.300 inclusive.

01:09:46.140 It's going to

01:09:46.740 be epic.

01:09:48.040 I will get you

01:09:49.060 tens of thousands

01:09:49.960 of volunteers.

01:09:50.760 Yeah,

01:09:51.340 yeah,

01:09:51.440 yeah.

01:09:52.120 And they'll

01:09:52.440 all be lily

01:09:53.020 wet. 0.85

01:09:53.660 Yeah,

01:09:53.960 yeah.

01:09:54.500 I promise I

01:09:55.520 won't say

01:09:56.040 Deus Vult too

01:09:56.880 many times.

01:09:57.620 Yeah.

01:09:59.000 So looking

01:10:00.640 at where it

01:10:01.240 is,

01:10:01.580 I think every

01:10:02.340 town,

01:10:03.280 this is,

01:10:03.640 for example,

01:10:04.100 is Tavi,

01:10:05.600 where the

01:10:06.620 Ruby Trust

01:10:07.300 is.

01:10:08.440 Every town

01:10:09.120 council has

01:10:09.700 a what's on

01:10:10.440 section.

01:10:11.100 So,

01:10:11.280 you know,

01:10:11.540 you sort it

01:10:12.000 by month.

01:10:12.640 And yeah,

01:10:13.900 it's Zumba

01:10:14.580 classes for,

01:10:15.760 you know,

01:10:15.960 the mums and

01:10:16.520 the art market.

01:10:17.560 But there's

01:10:18.140 loads and loads

01:10:18.980 of stuff

01:10:19.560 happening all

01:10:21.040 the time.

01:10:22.080 And there's

01:10:22.660 the annual

01:10:23.020 meeting of

01:10:23.420 the town

01:10:23.680 council and

01:10:24.440 there's all

01:10:24.760 the stuff

01:10:25.020 going on in

01:10:25.460 Butchers Hall.

01:10:26.320 And, you

01:10:26.680 know,

01:10:26.920 you could

01:10:27.380 probably do

01:10:27.800 your own

01:10:28.100 based event

01:10:28.660 that got on

01:10:29.200 this list.

01:10:29.780 You could

01:10:30.000 turn up to

01:10:30.480 every single

01:10:31.060 one of these.

01:10:31.720 But you

01:10:31.960 could probably

01:10:32.260 start something

01:10:32.940 that you just

01:10:33.660 have, you

01:10:34.260 know,

01:10:34.380 it can be

01:10:34.720 based,

01:10:35.040 but just

01:10:35.340 make sure

01:10:35.760 it just

01:10:36.060 sounds like

01:10:36.660 it's

01:10:36.820 normal.

01:10:37.540 Yeah,

01:10:38.240 absolutely.

01:10:39.020 Absolutely.

01:10:39.940 I would say

01:10:40.780 that the

01:10:41.220 trust event

01:10:41.760 is in there,

01:10:42.160 but I haven't

01:10:42.480 actually told

01:10:43.060 them yet.

01:10:43.740 So it will

01:10:44.500 be in there

01:10:44.940 imminently.

01:10:47.720 So,

01:10:48.860 well,

01:10:49.720 there we

01:10:50.060 are.

01:10:50.480 My next

01:10:51.120 event with

01:10:51.760 the Roby

01:10:52.040 Trust is

01:10:53.320 our Steam

01:10:54.180 and Vintage

01:10:54.660 Fair on the

01:10:55.480 1st of June

01:10:56.020 in town.

01:10:57.640 So come

01:10:58.100 along and

01:10:58.460 have a chat.

01:10:59.320 And it is

01:11:00.040 one of those

01:11:00.340 things because

01:11:00.680 that was,

01:11:02.060 not only was

01:11:02.720 the trust run

01:11:03.500 by a bunch

01:11:03.980 of original

01:11:04.640 members,

01:11:05.160 but it was

01:11:05.460 also the

01:11:06.120 events were

01:11:06.780 run by the

01:11:07.760 old people. 0.53

01:11:08.180 And one

01:11:08.760 day they

01:11:09.040 go,

01:11:09.300 well,

01:11:09.420 I don't

01:11:09.580 want to

01:11:09.760 do it

01:11:09.940 anymore.

01:11:11.280 And you've

01:11:11.960 just got to

01:11:12.280 step up and

01:11:12.920 you've just

01:11:13.100 got to do

01:11:13.380 it because

01:11:13.660 if you

01:11:14.340 don't do

01:11:14.800 it,

01:11:15.380 it doesn't

01:11:15.700 happen anymore.

01:11:16.640 Or someone

01:11:17.220 woke does it,

01:11:17.980 which is probably

01:11:18.540 worse.

01:11:18.740 Which is probably

01:11:19.200 worse.

01:11:20.860 Actually,

01:11:21.220 I was talking

01:11:21.620 to the

01:11:22.420 secretary of

01:11:24.100 the trust who

01:11:24.720 is two years

01:11:25.640 my junior and

01:11:27.500 he's got a

01:11:28.780 job on the

01:11:29.500 South Devon

01:11:29.900 Railway and

01:11:31.220 the manager of

01:11:31.920 the South Devon

01:11:32.400 Railway is now

01:11:33.320 a chap in his

01:11:33.900 30s.

01:11:34.780 And it's very

01:11:35.580 much seems that

01:11:36.640 it's our

01:11:37.460 generation are

01:11:38.300 slowly sort of

01:11:39.420 clawing off the

01:11:42.280 older ones.

01:11:43.680 And it has led

01:11:44.500 to unpleasantness

01:11:45.820 in the past.

01:11:47.960 A lot of these

01:11:48.500 organisations,

01:11:49.220 you know,

01:11:49.420 I say,

01:11:49.720 yeah,

01:11:49.900 go and join,

01:11:50.880 find something in

01:11:51.700 your town and go

01:11:52.340 and join it.

01:11:53.140 And you'll probably

01:11:53.580 find it's full of

01:11:54.400 old people who've

01:11:55.800 been doing it for

01:11:56.340 40 years.

01:11:57.460 And they'll go,

01:11:58.320 oh yeah,

01:11:58.620 lovely,

01:11:58.960 lovely,

01:11:59.180 lovely,

01:11:59.460 and then give

01:11:59.820 you a job to

01:12:00.280 do.

01:12:00.440 And then because

01:12:00.880 you've not done

01:12:01.320 it as they did

01:12:02.280 it,

01:12:02.520 then they'll want

01:12:02.900 it back.

01:12:03.960 And it might

01:12:05.320 come,

01:12:05.560 you're just going

01:12:05.900 to have to

01:12:06.120 wrestle our

01:12:07.360 nation's heritage

01:12:08.260 off of the

01:12:09.340 boomers,

01:12:09.620 out of the

01:12:10.680 boomers' 0.97

01:12:11.100 claws,

01:12:11.440 because they,

01:12:12.220 again,

01:12:12.520 being the last

01:12:13.060 men of history,

01:12:13.740 they'd rather see

01:12:14.420 it die with them

01:12:15.280 and you're going 0.73

01:12:15.620 to have to go,

01:12:16.040 no,

01:12:16.620 actually,

01:12:17.460 this medieval

01:12:18.080 manor house has

01:12:18.800 been here for

01:12:19.180 eight centuries

01:12:19.800 and it will

01:12:21.240 continue to be on

01:12:22.180 and that means

01:12:22.700 you have to 1.00

01:12:23.340 die and I 1.00

01:12:25.700 have to keep 0.99

01:12:26.320 it going.

01:12:27.820 And that's

01:12:28.480 not an imposition

01:12:30.380 on their

01:12:30.740 character,

01:12:31.260 that's just the

01:12:32.300 way of the world.

01:12:32.860 It's just the

01:12:33.180 way that they

01:12:33.640 were as well.

01:12:35.260 I do think that

01:12:37.300 the millennials are 0.61

01:12:38.240 slightly better at

01:12:39.160 it because we're

01:12:41.660 in our 30s now,

01:12:44.260 the sort of

01:12:45.220 tranche that I

01:12:46.660 was in and we're

01:12:47.320 already looking at

01:12:48.200 the next lot,

01:12:49.680 so we've already

01:12:50.180 got sort of 15,

01:12:51.500 16 year olds and

01:12:52.360 we're training them

01:12:53.400 up.

01:12:53.600 We're quite old

01:12:54.200 now by the

01:12:55.000 standards of

01:12:56.300 them,

01:12:56.620 so there was

01:12:57.580 definitely a

01:12:58.180 disconnect and

01:12:59.040 it's our job to

01:13:00.800 re-stitch that

01:13:02.580 links back together

01:13:03.980 again and it is

01:13:04.640 going to be hard

01:13:05.160 work,

01:13:06.180 unfortunately.

01:13:07.740 It's satisfying,

01:13:08.680 right?

01:13:09.020 Oh yeah,

01:13:09.500 yeah,

01:13:09.680 yeah.

01:13:09.900 That's the thing,

01:13:10.620 you actually get to

01:13:11.380 do something you

01:13:11.820 enjoy and actually

01:13:13.200 make sure that

01:13:14.040 it's all in good

01:13:15.760 saying,

01:13:16.060 someone will do it,

01:13:17.280 well no,

01:13:17.840 you can be that

01:13:18.520 someone and make 0.93

01:13:19.040 sure it's done,

01:13:20.420 you can guarantee

01:13:21.420 it's done.

01:13:21.740 I always said

01:13:22.300 if not you,

01:13:24.100 who,

01:13:24.360 if not now,

01:13:25.000 when?

01:13:26.300 And it's not

01:13:28.180 to brag or

01:13:28.740 anything but I'm

01:13:29.580 on a chair two

01:13:31.260 committee,

01:13:31.860 sit on a further

01:13:32.480 two and watch

01:13:33.380 another three and

01:13:35.420 it's like,

01:13:35.740 yeah,

01:13:35.900 it's hard work but

01:13:37.260 it's got to be

01:13:38.820 done.

01:13:39.520 But again,

01:13:40.080 like,

01:13:40.500 you know,

01:13:40.820 you open the

01:13:41.420 doors to sort

01:13:42.420 of networking

01:13:42.900 events you

01:13:43.440 didn't know

01:13:43.880 could come

01:13:44.480 along because

01:13:45.480 you weren't

01:13:46.180 there to get

01:13:47.100 that opportunity.

01:13:48.980 Well,

01:13:49.540 it's funny after

01:13:50.260 the...

01:13:51.020 If you weren't

01:13:51.480 doing these

01:13:51.800 things,

01:13:51.960 you wouldn't

01:13:52.140 be sat here

01:13:52.560 now.

01:13:53.040 Well,

01:13:53.200 exactly.

01:13:53.800 So it's like

01:13:54.540 you never know

01:13:55.000 where you'll end

01:13:55.440 up.

01:13:55.700 And after the

01:13:57.120 last Witan,

01:13:58.720 I started playing

01:14:00.080 with the idea of

01:14:00.640 putting gasworks in

01:14:01.620 town.

01:14:02.660 And because of

01:14:03.460 all this stuff

01:14:04.240 and going to

01:14:05.320 the Civic

01:14:06.000 Ball and all the

01:14:06.620 rest of it,

01:14:07.460 the town were

01:14:07.920 fully on board.

01:14:08.860 They're like,

01:14:09.100 yeah,

01:14:09.260 it sounds amazing.

01:14:09.980 What do you want?

01:14:10.700 In fact,

01:14:10.980 you could go there.

01:14:12.040 Brilliant.

01:14:12.480 Yeah.

01:14:13.160 And,

01:14:13.560 you know,

01:14:14.320 you go to the

01:14:15.100 Civic Ball and

01:14:15.680 they get six drinks

01:14:16.360 on board and then

01:14:17.000 they come up and

01:14:17.460 say,

01:14:17.620 oh,

01:14:17.760 what's the

01:14:18.060 latest on that?

01:14:19.120 You know,

01:14:19.280 so it's all about

01:14:20.580 building the social

01:14:21.360 capital.

01:14:22.020 And actually,

01:14:23.020 if you can get

01:14:24.980 into these circles

01:14:25.860 because they're

01:14:26.300 very,

01:14:26.860 very small circles.

01:14:28.480 It's not hard to

01:14:29.100 break into them.

01:14:29.540 And it's not hard

01:14:30.100 to break into them.

01:14:31.080 And then they

01:14:31.400 suddenly go,

01:14:31.820 oh,

01:14:31.980 yeah,

01:14:32.420 that chap,

01:14:33.780 he's sound.

01:14:34.720 Actually,

01:14:35.260 he's all right.

01:14:36.200 He's all right.

01:14:38.200 So,

01:14:39.080 yeah,

01:14:39.420 it's a quick

01:14:40.440 little section,

01:14:41.260 really,

01:14:41.620 just on the

01:14:42.120 importance of

01:14:42.840 getting involved

01:14:43.600 in a non-political

01:14:45.360 way.

01:14:46.240 Because a lot

01:14:46.960 of this is

01:14:47.640 like litter

01:14:48.420 picking and

01:14:49.420 making sure

01:14:50.380 the parish

01:14:50.800 hall is

01:14:51.540 painted and

01:14:52.680 you know,

01:14:53.800 the church

01:14:54.140 It's not glamorous.

01:14:54.860 No,

01:14:55.100 and the church

01:14:55.560 graveyard is

01:14:56.260 kept clean

01:14:56.920 and the lawns

01:14:58.120 are mowed

01:14:58.540 and,

01:14:59.040 you know,

01:14:59.180 the allotments

01:14:59.640 look nice

01:15:00.140 and all that

01:15:00.580 sort of stuff.

01:15:01.100 But it's all

01:15:01.420 the stuff that

01:15:02.680 is necessary

01:15:03.980 to live in

01:15:05.040 a nice place.

01:15:06.360 To have a

01:15:07.340 civilisation.

01:15:08.120 Yeah.

01:15:08.500 And if you

01:15:09.140 don't live,

01:15:09.720 if you live in

01:15:10.180 a place that's

01:15:10.600 a bit rough

01:15:11.080 around the edges,

01:15:11.700 maybe you could

01:15:12.320 be the one

01:15:12.800 to smooth them

01:15:14.060 off.

01:15:14.300 Because if it's

01:15:15.100 not you,

01:15:15.860 it's going to

01:15:16.260 be somebody

01:15:16.660 else and

01:15:17.100 it'll probably

01:15:17.460 be some

01:15:17.820 insufferable 0.99

01:15:18.540 pink-haired 0.99

01:15:19.240 wokeist.

01:15:19.980 Or it doesn't

01:15:20.460 get done at

01:15:20.880 all.

01:15:21.120 Or it doesn't

01:15:21.540 get done at

01:15:21.960 all.

01:15:22.100 Or it just

01:15:22.140 falls into

01:15:22.680 complete

01:15:23.320 dilapidation.

01:15:25.420 So, yes,

01:15:26.860 one of my

01:15:27.580 other projects,

01:15:28.260 of course,

01:15:28.620 is I'm still

01:15:29.560 working on the

01:15:30.420 coal replacement

01:15:32.160 for the steam

01:15:34.660 engines because 0.98

01:15:36.120 coal is being

01:15:36.840 an interesting

01:15:37.240 issue at the

01:15:37.780 moment.

01:15:38.060 I think I've

01:15:38.400 got some

01:15:38.680 Polish at the 0.98

01:15:39.260 moment.

01:15:39.560 We did our

01:15:39.900 South African,

01:15:40.500 which was like 0.85

01:15:40.920 burning bricks. 0.61

01:15:42.860 It was useless.

01:15:44.580 Don't we have

01:15:45.120 British coal

01:15:45.680 anymore?

01:15:46.280 Oh, yeah,

01:15:46.660 but we can't

01:15:47.140 get it.

01:15:48.340 Lots and

01:15:48.900 lots and

01:15:49.240 lots.

01:15:49.520 I looked this

01:15:49.900 up the other

01:15:50.200 day.

01:15:50.420 We've got

01:15:50.640 something like

01:15:51.020 108 billion

01:15:51.820 tonnes of

01:15:52.280 coal.

01:15:52.740 Oh, it's

01:15:53.000 mad.

01:15:53.580 And we're

01:15:54.200 importing coal

01:15:54.700 from Japan

01:15:55.120 instead now.

01:15:55.980 Yes.

01:15:56.880 Yes.

01:15:57.480 Yeah, the

01:15:57.840 reason this

01:15:58.300 gun thought works

01:15:58.940 is where it

01:16:00.500 is.

01:16:00.760 You're

01:16:01.000 saying South

01:16:01.480 African coal

01:16:02.300 is of a

01:16:02.800 poor quality.

01:16:03.760 I'm saying

01:16:04.520 that the

01:16:04.940 coal merchant

01:16:05.660 wasn't entirely

01:16:07.140 truthful about

01:16:07.780 the quality of

01:16:08.380 his coal.

01:16:09.120 It turned

01:16:09.500 out a third

01:16:09.980 of it was

01:16:10.320 rocks.

01:16:12.480 Yes.

01:16:13.080 My engine's

01:16:13.640 not steaming

01:16:14.100 properly,

01:16:14.820 clunk.

01:16:15.480 Oh, right.

01:16:16.320 That doesn't

01:16:17.720 set fire.

01:16:18.580 So you can

01:16:18.960 support me

01:16:19.240 there.

01:16:19.580 You can

01:16:19.800 support me

01:16:27.860 should be.

01:16:28.100 I haven't

01:16:28.300 given my

01:16:28.640 account back yet.

01:16:29.560 Have they

01:16:29.740 not?

01:16:29.900 Everything

01:16:30.300 else I've

01:16:30.720 got back

01:16:31.120 apart from

01:16:31.480 my Patreon

01:16:31.880 account.

01:16:32.320 That's

01:16:32.400 amazing.

01:16:33.340 Not

01:16:33.500 allowed to

01:16:33.780 use it

01:16:34.020 now.

01:16:34.520 Or you

01:16:35.560 can simply

01:16:36.180 follow me

01:16:37.100 on Twitter

01:16:37.640 where you

01:16:38.380 get a

01:16:38.700 selection of

01:16:39.260 either base

01:16:39.700 takes or

01:16:40.260 pictures of

01:16:40.880 my onions

01:16:41.380 on the

01:16:41.720 allotment

01:16:42.000 as they

01:16:42.300 come up.

01:16:43.920 There's another

01:16:44.480 couple of

01:16:44.780 weeks and I'll

01:16:45.080 be able to

01:16:45.340 take the

01:16:45.720 nets off

01:16:46.560 them.

01:16:47.160 So yeah,

01:16:47.420 that's mine.

01:16:47.900 Get involved

01:16:48.620 and not in a

01:16:49.760 political weird

01:16:50.420 way, in a

01:16:51.040 normal, I

01:16:51.920 want to live

01:16:52.300 in a nice

01:16:52.700 place kind

01:16:53.200 of way.

01:16:53.700 That's the

01:16:54.040 importance.

01:16:55.560 Do we have

01:16:56.320 video comments

01:16:56.960 today,

01:16:57.140 Samson?

01:16:58.560 And lots

01:16:59.260 of people are

01:17:00.060 very happy

01:17:00.580 that you're

01:17:00.860 back, by

01:17:01.280 the way.

01:17:01.600 Oh, thank

01:17:01.940 you very

01:17:02.180 much.

01:17:02.480 RGH

01:17:02.760 particularly.

01:17:03.280 That's very

01:17:03.520 kind of

01:17:03.780 you.

01:17:04.420 Hosep

01:17:04.860 says,

01:17:05.320 Bo's 0.98

01:17:05.800 miscalculation

01:17:06.560 with Canada

01:17:07.000 is because

01:17:07.480 he isn't

01:17:07.860 Canadian.

01:17:08.640 The Canadian

01:17:09.060 identity has

01:17:09.720 been completely

01:17:10.160 destroyed and

01:17:10.720 replaced by

01:17:11.560 the idea that

01:17:12.080 they just

01:17:12.380 aren't

01:17:12.660 Americans. 0.95

01:17:13.720 Trump is a 0.86

01:17:14.220 threat to the

01:17:14.620 only semblance

01:17:15.140 of national

01:17:15.600 identity they

01:17:16.160 have left.

01:17:16.500 It's kind

01:17:16.980 of like the

01:17:17.220 Irish identity

01:17:17.900 is just

01:17:19.820 hollowed out.

01:17:20.560 It's like,

01:17:20.820 oh, we

01:17:21.160 just hate 0.98

01:17:21.520 the English.

01:17:22.080 Okay.

01:17:23.140 I mean, there

01:17:23.480 is like an

01:17:24.180 authentic Irish

01:17:24.900 identity, you

01:17:25.960 know, based

01:17:26.320 on strange

01:17:26.920 answers and

01:17:27.700 things like

01:17:28.040 that.

01:17:28.680 But now

01:17:29.240 it's just

01:17:29.580 we hate 0.86

01:17:30.000 the English. 1.00

01:17:30.860 What a 1.00

01:17:31.060 pathetic thing. 1.00

01:17:31.920 And that's 0.99

01:17:32.280 not casting

01:17:35.040 shade at

01:17:35.700 Canadian

01:17:36.120 people.

01:17:37.440 But what a 1.00

01:17:37.740 pathetic thing. 0.99

01:17:38.440 It's sad. 0.99

01:17:39.040 Yeah.

01:17:39.520 You know,

01:17:40.020 it's squalid.

01:17:42.600 Because the

01:17:42.840 Canadians, I

01:17:43.500 mean, when I

01:17:43.900 was young,

01:17:44.820 Canada had a

01:17:45.420 very definite

01:17:45.940 identity.

01:17:46.660 It's like

01:17:46.880 the Mounties.

01:17:48.160 And the

01:17:48.300 politeness.

01:17:49.580 You know,

01:17:50.060 like very

01:17:50.720 no-nonsense

01:17:51.420 chaps, you 0.92

01:17:52.200 know, as

01:17:52.880 how the

01:17:53.180 Mounties were

01:17:53.620 portrayed.

01:17:54.300 And now

01:17:54.940 it's just

01:17:55.420 like liberals

01:17:56.380 screeching

01:17:57.000 about Trump.

01:17:58.000 It's like,

01:17:58.380 okay, that's

01:17:59.760 a downgrade.

01:18:00.780 Like per

01:18:01.300 capita, I

01:18:02.060 think Canadians 0.55

01:18:02.720 have won the

01:18:03.200 most VCs.

01:18:04.420 Yeah, the

01:18:04.720 Chad.

01:18:04.940 Stuff like

01:18:05.520 that, yeah.

01:18:06.060 You can't

01:18:06.400 live in a

01:18:06.880 place like

01:18:07.220 Canada and

01:18:07.720 not be an

01:18:08.060 absolute

01:18:08.280 Chad.

01:18:09.000 And for

01:18:09.360 some reason

01:18:09.900 they've got

01:18:10.300 wimpy

01:18:11.140 wokists 1.00

01:18:11.660 representing

01:18:12.240 them everywhere

01:18:12.700 on the

01:18:12.940 international

01:18:13.460 stage.

01:18:14.360 I thought

01:18:14.520 it was really

01:18:15.240 sad when

01:18:15.900 in Keir

01:18:17.960 Starmer's

01:18:18.420 comment about

01:18:18.960 the election

01:18:19.440 and he

01:18:19.800 said, oh

01:18:20.140 yeah, you

01:18:20.480 know, it's

01:18:20.700 great.

01:18:21.500 We're looking

01:18:22.060 to build

01:18:22.540 our

01:18:22.720 relationships

01:18:23.220 with Canada,

01:18:23.960 you know,

01:18:24.260 based on

01:18:24.620 history and

01:18:25.160 values.

01:18:25.680 They're literally

01:18:26.080 ruled by the

01:18:26.600 king.

01:18:27.000 They're literally

01:18:27.500 like our

01:18:28.220 actual cousins.

01:18:30.120 They're not

01:18:30.720 history and

01:18:31.220 values, it's

01:18:31.740 blood.

01:18:32.280 It's our

01:18:33.180 second cousins

01:18:33.900 out there.

01:18:34.540 They're literally

01:18:35.120 like a core

01:18:35.580 part of the

01:18:35.880 British Empire.

01:18:36.680 What are you

01:18:37.120 talking about?

01:18:38.400 As if this is

01:18:39.320 a newly

01:18:39.640 discovered nation

01:18:41.180 or something in

01:18:41.820 the Amazon.

01:18:42.580 Yeah.

01:18:42.720 There's no

01:18:44.200 history there

01:18:45.520 at all.

01:18:45.840 We're going

01:18:45.940 to build a

01:18:46.520 new relationship

01:18:47.140 with our

01:18:47.780 ancestors.

01:18:49.060 Yes, with

01:18:49.900 people who

01:18:50.340 are English

01:18:50.940 speaking,

01:18:51.620 English common

01:18:52.120 law, have

01:18:52.900 a parliament,

01:18:53.560 are ruled by

01:18:54.180 our king.

01:18:55.180 What are you

01:18:55.980 talking about?

01:18:56.680 Anyway, right,

01:18:57.320 let's go to

01:18:57.940 the video

01:18:58.160 comments.

01:18:58.520 And so it

01:19:00.580 was that

01:19:00.960 Carl Benjamin

01:19:01.400 stepped off

01:19:01.840 the path of

01:19:02.280 destiny and

01:19:02.740 into the

01:19:03.080 wilderness of

01:19:03.620 cosmic chaos.

01:19:04.600 For in

01:19:04.840 refusing to

01:19:05.320 have more

01:19:05.620 children, never

01:19:06.280 would Alfred

01:19:06.740 Benjamin be

01:19:07.260 born to

01:19:07.640 overthrow

01:19:07.880 parliament and

01:19:08.460 establish the

01:19:08.980 English

01:19:09.320 Wetenagamont. 0.80

01:19:10.460 Nor would

01:19:10.800 Edward Benjamin

01:19:11.440 who would

01:19:11.740 subjugate the

01:19:12.300 Scots and

01:19:12.640 the French.

01:19:13.260 Nor Oliver

01:19:13.600 Benjamin who

01:19:14.100 would re-annex

01:19:14.680 Ireland.

01:19:15.380 Nor would

01:19:15.620 Victoria

01:19:15.980 Benjamin who

01:19:16.440 would suppress

01:19:16.800 India and

01:19:17.240 China.

01:19:17.920 Worst of all,

01:19:18.540 we would never

01:19:18.900 have Richard

01:19:19.400 Benjamin who

01:19:20.180 would lead

01:19:20.460 us in the

01:19:20.840 first great

01:19:21.360 cyber crusade

01:19:22.120 against the

01:19:22.480 forces of

01:19:22.940 Mecca Islam.

01:19:23.980 He issued

01:19:24.320 hope and

01:19:25.420 chose the

01:19:25.800 dark timeline.

01:19:29.140 Look man, I've

01:19:29.820 got four kids.

01:19:30.320 It's enough.

01:19:31.080 It's enough.

01:19:32.640 My other kids

01:19:33.680 will have to

01:19:34.040 have those

01:19:34.500 things placed on

01:19:35.460 their shoulders

01:19:35.840 instead.

01:19:36.800 But that was

01:19:37.540 very good.

01:19:39.320 Let's go to

01:19:39.720 the next one.

01:19:40.660 Something perhaps

01:19:41.320 I didn't explain

01:19:41.860 well enough on

01:19:42.300 the last hangout

01:19:42.840 was my idea of

01:19:43.520 stormtrooping.

01:19:44.360 Rather than

01:19:44.640 seizing and

01:19:45.060 holding a point

01:19:45.500 against a foe,

01:19:46.100 humans have

01:19:46.440 throughout history

01:19:46.880 resorted to

01:19:47.400 striking hard and

01:19:47.940 fast and then

01:19:48.460 withdrawing quickly,

01:19:49.200 like the Vikings

01:19:49.700 or the trench

01:19:50.180 readers of World

01:19:50.740 War I.

01:19:51.360 The left uses

01:19:51.920 this strategy when

01:19:52.700 criticising their

01:19:53.240 opponents,

01:19:53.700 mocking a disabled 1.00

01:19:54.240 reporter, 0.98

01:19:54.900 transgender, 0.96

01:19:55.420 mice, saying 0.98

01:19:55.840 the Nazis 0.71

01:19:56.140 showed the

01:19:56.480 Jews compassion

01:19:56.980 and then moving

01:19:57.900 on to criticise

01:19:58.500 the next thing

01:19:59.060 without defending

01:19:59.600 their last point.

01:20:00.560 The seriousness

01:20:01.060 of the accusations

01:20:01.780 and the sheer

01:20:02.220 volume of

01:20:02.680 criticism paints

01:20:03.300 a negative

01:20:03.600 picture in most

01:20:04.120 people's minds

01:20:04.580 despite the

01:20:05.040 individual claims

01:20:05.580 being obvious

01:20:06.080 bunk when

01:20:06.580 examined.

01:20:08.500 Great point.

01:20:09.300 And a great way

01:20:09.820 of describing it

01:20:10.520 as well.

01:20:10.980 The way the

01:20:11.860 left uses the

01:20:13.200 headlines, it's

01:20:14.240 like stormtroopers

01:20:15.000 and then just

01:20:15.440 retreats from the

01:20:16.000 point and don't

01:20:16.420 care.

01:20:17.040 The damage is

01:20:17.780 done, so what

01:20:18.340 difference does it

01:20:18.800 make?

01:20:19.120 The only problem

01:20:19.720 I'd say about

01:20:20.140 that is it is

01:20:20.760 still a

01:20:21.080 deconstructivist

01:20:22.600 outlook, that

01:20:23.360 you're not

01:20:23.660 building anything

01:20:24.380 in the back

01:20:25.500 lines.

01:20:25.760 And of course

01:20:26.040 the stormtroopers

01:20:26.540 ultimately lost

01:20:27.220 because they

01:20:27.500 burned themselves

01:20:28.040 out.

01:20:28.620 Sure.

01:20:29.180 And they also

01:20:29.580 sound cool.

01:20:30.560 I don't want to

01:20:30.880 make them sound

01:20:31.200 cool.

01:20:31.980 Stormtrooper, yes.

01:20:33.120 Well just stormtrooper

01:20:34.240 makes you sound

01:20:34.660 like a boss, you

01:20:35.900 know, it sounds

01:20:36.500 cool.

01:20:37.360 That's not good.

01:20:38.240 Let's go to the

01:20:38.580 next one.

01:20:39.820 Poachers killed

01:20:40.780 35 rhinos in

01:20:42.680 South Africa's

01:20:43.420 Kruger National

01:20:44.180 Park in January

01:20:45.480 and February.

01:20:46.680 Sudden increase in

01:20:47.440 rhino poaching can

01:20:48.240 be attributed but

01:20:48.960 mostly to continuous

01:20:49.980 demand by an

01:20:51.340 international market.

01:20:52.260 120 rhinos released

01:20:53.940 into greater Kruger

01:20:54.760 as part of

01:20:55.380 rhino rewild

01:20:56.260 following the

01:20:56.920 purchase of the

01:20:57.480 John Hume herd of

01:20:58.280 2,000 animals are

01:20:59.760 not thought to be

01:21:00.960 among the dead.

01:21:02.180 Question around do

01:21:03.040 we have enough

01:21:03.480 manpower and I

01:21:04.560 think the answer is

01:21:05.320 really simple,

01:21:06.320 never, we will

01:21:07.020 never have enough

01:21:07.660 manpower.

01:21:09.900 I didn't even know

01:21:10.860 this was happening.

01:21:12.080 Rhinos are one of my

01:21:12.920 favourite like, you

01:21:13.640 know, great animals.

01:21:15.160 I don't know why, I

01:21:16.220 just always like the

01:21:16.940 sort of attitude they

01:21:18.300 seem to have.

01:21:19.400 It's just strike first,

01:21:20.520 ask questions later.

01:21:21.260 They don't seem to

01:21:22.620 be as openly

01:21:23.720 malevolent as

01:21:24.400 hippos either, which

01:21:25.440 is nice.

01:21:26.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:27.440 They don't want to

01:21:27.820 keep to themselves 0.69

01:21:28.460 until you piss them 0.55

01:21:29.520 off and then they

01:21:30.120 charge you.

01:21:30.960 Whereas hippos are

01:21:31.880 malicious and just 0.97

01:21:34.120 like blood.

01:21:35.020 I like rhinos as

01:21:35.900 well.

01:21:36.260 It's a shame if they

01:21:37.260 did go extinct.

01:21:38.380 Oh yeah, it'd be

01:21:38.760 tragic.

01:21:40.480 Let's go to the

01:21:40.780 next one.

01:21:41.640 There's an ongoing

01:21:42.480 debate in Australia

01:21:43.400 about the welcome to

01:21:44.920 country ceremony,

01:21:46.120 often claimed as an

01:21:47.400 ancient tradition,

01:21:48.580 but created in 1976,

01:21:50.380 not part of

01:21:51.660 Aboriginal culture

01:21:52.580 before then.

01:21:53.780 Many want it

01:21:54.360 removed from

01:21:55.240 government and

01:21:56.000 public events,

01:21:57.140 arguing it divides

01:21:58.140 Aboriginal and

01:21:59.460 non-Aboriginal 1.00

01:22:00.480 Australians.

01:22:01.600 I understand their

01:22:02.460 frustration.

01:22:03.440 These ceremonies are

01:22:04.640 designed to make

01:22:05.520 non-Indigenous

01:22:06.360 Australians feel like 1.00

01:22:07.820 outsiders in their

01:22:09.060 own country.

01:22:09.640 I haven't been

01:22:12.320 following this.

01:22:14.020 Yeah, it's a very

01:22:16.040 interesting point.

01:22:16.780 I've not seen it

01:22:17.780 earlier, but it is

01:22:18.440 one of those things

01:22:19.480 like Welsh 0.97

01:22:20.180 nationalism is these

01:22:21.360 days, whereas

01:22:21.880 actually it was all

01:22:23.080 invented in the 80s.

01:22:25.040 You know.

01:22:25.400 Wicca. 0.92

01:22:25.940 Yeah, it's all 0.96

01:22:27.420 nonsense. 0.88

01:22:28.540 So, yeah, get rid.

01:22:30.820 Yeah, I totally

01:22:31.480 agree.

01:22:32.520 Is there another

01:22:33.120 one, Samson?

01:22:33.640 Not the last one.

01:22:37.240 Oh, that's all right.

01:22:40.020 Here's just a short

01:22:41.360 bit of wholesome

01:22:42.540 content to show

01:22:43.780 you the blooming

01:22:45.240 of our cherry

01:22:46.340 tree in the

01:22:47.400 back of my yard.

01:22:51.920 We'll be having

01:22:54.800 a little sakura

01:22:56.420 matsuri, or a

01:22:58.180 cherry blossom

01:22:58.980 celebration, this

01:23:00.780 evening.

01:23:01.080 We have cherry

01:23:03.460 trees in England.

01:23:04.200 You can use the

01:23:04.680 English word.

01:23:05.580 Yeah.

01:23:06.000 We've got cherry

01:23:06.620 trees on my 0.81

01:23:07.060 bloody estate. 0.97

01:23:07.840 They look lovely

01:23:08.420 as well.

01:23:09.100 I like spring a lot

01:23:10.420 because of the

01:23:10.820 blossoms, blooms.

01:23:12.440 And, yeah, so.

01:23:13.400 Yeah, mine's come

01:23:13.940 out as well, although

01:23:14.600 mine's an ornamental

01:23:15.740 cherry, so it doesn't

01:23:16.320 look quite that nice.

01:23:17.460 Oh, does it not?

01:23:17.980 Actually, no, the pear

01:23:18.800 tree is usually the

01:23:19.480 one that looks better.

01:23:20.740 Do we have a follow-up

01:23:21.820 on the stormtrooping?

01:23:23.140 In my last video

01:23:23.980 comment, I explained

01:23:24.680 what stormtrooping was,

01:23:25.580 and the reason it's

01:23:26.100 important is because

01:23:26.860 in a democracy, public

01:23:27.860 opinion matters, and

01:23:28.680 if you can convince

01:23:29.280 the wider public that

01:23:29.980 a person or idea is

01:23:30.980 good or bad or

01:23:31.620 misinformation, no

01:23:32.400 matter how you do

01:23:33.000 it, you can sway

01:23:33.900 elections and

01:23:34.500 receptivity to

01:23:35.180 legislation and

01:23:35.760 public policy.

01:23:36.720 The best way to

01:23:37.260 counter stormtrooping

01:23:37.900 is to challenge a

01:23:38.560 person when they

01:23:39.020 make a claim,

01:23:39.740 preferably publicly,

01:23:40.560 and then demand

01:23:41.060 they stake their

01:23:41.560 stance on a bunch

01:23:42.100 of other issues

01:23:42.560 they already

01:23:42.880 supported, which

01:23:43.580 you can then

01:23:43.920 debunk one by

01:23:44.500 one.

01:23:45.080 Pick the battle

01:23:45.540 and defeat them

01:23:46.040 in detail.

01:23:46.760 If you can make

01:23:47.300 them seem not

01:23:47.780 credible to everyone

01:23:48.380 else, you can more

01:23:49.100 easily convince

01:23:49.600 people that their

01:23:50.080 claims are not to

01:23:50.500 be taken seriously.

01:23:51.220 Spot on, and

01:23:54.680 this actually goes

01:23:55.680 into my bit about

01:23:56.360 volunteering, is

01:23:57.680 that you have to

01:23:58.900 stand there and

01:23:59.740 accept battle.

01:24:01.120 Essentially, they

01:24:01.760 come in and say

01:24:02.340 you're a racist, and 0.95

01:24:03.100 you go, well, that 0.99

01:24:03.500 may be, but I'm not

01:24:04.200 going anywhere, and

01:24:05.380 then they have a 0.67

01:24:05.940 mental breakdown and 0.98

01:24:06.600 leave. 0.99

01:24:07.000 Thanks so much for

01:24:07.720 noticing.

01:24:09.160 Mason says, sorry

01:24:10.320 gents, but sometimes

01:24:11.700 I think the blinkers

01:24:12.500 can be on when it

01:24:13.000 comes to Trump.

01:24:14.400 I don't think we

01:24:14.920 were very complimentary

01:24:16.000 towards Trump, this

01:24:17.140 podcast.

01:24:17.620 Trump acts on

01:24:18.840 instinct, not

01:24:19.340 4D chess, art of

01:24:20.140 the deal, cope.

01:24:21.480 Agreed.

01:24:22.580 He was fed bad

01:24:23.460 information about the

01:24:24.100 impact on the tariff

01:24:24.840 war, and slapping

01:24:25.440 widespread tariffs on

01:24:26.220 both friend and

01:24:26.640 enemy was foolhardy.

01:24:28.060 I was literally

01:24:29.300 criticising him.

01:24:29.980 Sorry, what was

01:24:30.360 that you said that

01:24:30.860 so fast?

01:24:32.200 Like, the tariff

01:24:33.200 war, he had bad

01:24:34.380 information about the

01:24:35.040 impacts of the

01:24:35.540 tariffs, and slapping 0.78

01:24:37.000 widespread tariffs on

01:24:37.920 both friend and

01:24:38.440 foe was foolhardy.

01:24:39.800 I thought I said 0.56

01:24:40.560 that.

01:24:41.540 Sorry.

01:24:41.840 I don't think that

01:24:44.880 was the expert

01:24:45.840 advice to Trump.

01:24:46.840 I think it was

01:24:47.200 rather the other

01:24:47.720 way round.

01:24:48.360 I think that was

01:24:48.920 Trump acting out.

01:24:50.160 Yeah, yeah,

01:24:50.460 absolutely.

01:24:50.940 Because all of the

01:24:51.620 experts are going, 0.99

01:24:52.200 are you insane? 0.99

01:24:53.000 Yeah, Trump has 0.99

01:24:53.720 had this be in his

01:24:54.660 bonnet for literally

01:24:55.780 decades, like since

01:24:56.680 the 80s.

01:24:57.240 You can see him

01:24:57.720 talking about Oprah

01:24:58.520 Winfrey and stuff

01:24:59.280 like that.

01:25:00.200 And so I just think

01:25:01.580 he's just carried

01:25:02.680 that across to now.

01:25:04.940 But, yeah, I don't

01:25:06.560 think we were being

01:25:08.040 complimentary towards

01:25:08.940 Trump in that.

01:25:09.880 I'm pretty sure I was

01:25:11.200 saying that he was

01:25:12.140 wrong.

01:25:13.840 Yeah.

01:25:14.280 So I don't know.

01:25:15.640 I don't think we

01:25:16.600 had the blinkers on

01:25:17.320 there.

01:25:18.480 Rob says, I get the

01:25:20.060 triumphalism that

01:25:20.720 Trump and the

01:25:21.080 MAGA movement have,

01:25:22.120 but saying that this

01:25:23.520 51st state, the

01:25:24.820 American right have

01:25:25.440 pulled up the

01:25:26.000 ladder for

01:25:26.700 conservative elsewhere

01:25:27.360 in the West.

01:25:27.920 Yeah, that's the

01:25:28.580 issue.

01:25:29.380 So we now have

01:25:30.280 really ludicrous

01:25:30.920 reality that liberals

01:25:31.760 are claiming the

01:25:32.220 cause of national

01:25:32.760 patriotism.

01:25:33.700 Yes, well, in these

01:25:35.040 countries they made

01:25:35.860 being patriotic

01:25:37.700 left wing.

01:25:38.380 And it's like, oh, 0.93

01:25:38.800 that's silly.

01:25:40.080 Gabriel says, it 0.76

01:25:41.720 just seems obvious

01:25:42.280 that this 51st state

01:25:43.120 nonsense in conjunction

01:25:43.980 with the tariffs has

01:25:45.000 handed it to the

01:25:45.600 liberals who

01:25:46.000 previously had zero

01:25:46.880 arguments to stay in

01:25:47.720 power.

01:25:48.340 Yeah, I'd be immensely

01:25:49.460 pissed off if I were a

01:25:50.380 Canadian conservative

01:25:51.080 that liberals have been

01:25:52.260 given the ammunition to

01:25:53.080 mobilise the vote in

01:25:54.020 their favour.

01:25:54.900 And yeah, like I said,

01:25:55.520 Pierre Polivier must just

01:25:56.400 be like, that's me

01:25:58.960 done.

01:26:00.380 He's not even old, is

01:26:01.560 he?

01:26:01.780 So, you know, he's like

01:26:02.460 40 or something,

01:26:03.480 right?

01:26:03.700 He must be 45, yeah.

01:26:05.080 So he's got 20 years

01:26:05.840 left.

01:26:06.180 Yeah, yeah.

01:26:06.640 So that's, thanks,

01:26:07.640 Trump.

01:26:09.120 Chase says, the liberal

01:26:09.900 victory is largely due to

01:26:11.140 Trump resurrecting civic

01:26:12.100 nationalism in the

01:26:12.800 boomers' minds.

01:26:13.840 They're consumed by

01:26:14.540 TDS.

01:26:15.080 Look at the polling

01:26:15.520 among old and young

01:26:16.280 voters.

01:26:16.700 Yeah, we did.

01:26:17.320 We did.

01:26:18.440 Let's go on to some

01:26:19.360 other parts.

01:26:22.380 Grant says, I'm so

01:26:23.420 effing annoyed at

01:26:24.060 Trump.

01:26:24.660 His bull in a 0.53

01:26:25.140 childish approach to

01:26:25.920 international affairs

01:26:26.620 cost Polivier a

01:26:28.620 massive lead and our

01:26:30.260 country is effed now.

01:26:31.600 I don't think Carney

01:26:32.260 will be as bad as

01:26:33.120 another Trudeau, but

01:26:33.900 the backstabbing will

01:26:34.620 start immediately from

01:26:35.340 Carney against the

01:26:35.900 electorate.

01:26:36.660 Yes, it will.

01:26:37.700 Polivier losing his 0.99

01:26:38.460 seat is fine because

01:26:39.180 the deputy conservative

01:26:39.980 leader is also based,

01:26:41.320 but more importantly,

01:26:41.900 Jagmeet Singh, our

01:26:43.240 insane leftist party

01:26:44.100 leader, also lost the 0.94

01:26:45.020 seat and there's no

01:26:46.340 one else in that

01:26:46.740 party who can do

01:26:47.320 anything.

01:26:48.000 Well, that's good to

01:26:48.720 know.

01:26:49.020 That's interesting.

01:26:49.580 And that Texas girl 1.00

01:26:50.280 says, it's not Trump's

01:26:51.440 fault that Canada is 0.71

01:26:52.260 cucked. 0.94

01:26:54.260 It's a fair point, but 0.59

01:26:56.660 the thing is, again, I

01:26:58.880 can't help but come

01:26:59.780 back to Machiavelli on

01:27:00.680 this.

01:27:01.340 It's like, look, you

01:27:01.740 have to accept men as 0.99

01:27:02.580 they are, not how they

01:27:03.360 ought to be.

01:27:04.520 And unfortunately, the 1.00

01:27:05.760 Canadians are cucked and 0.95

01:27:07.280 have been for quite some 0.83

01:27:07.920 time.

01:27:08.100 But if it helps, we're

01:27:08.840 cucked too.

01:27:09.340 The West everywhere is 0.99

01:27:11.220 cucked, right?

01:27:12.180 So, you know, you've 0.75

01:27:12.980 got to accept us as we

01:27:13.900 are and help bring us

01:27:15.920 into the base new

01:27:16.600 future rather than being

01:27:18.260 like, well, I guess

01:27:19.720 it's just globalism

01:27:21.380 everywhere but here.

01:27:22.680 It's like, okay, well,

01:27:23.740 you know, see how that

01:27:24.720 works out.

01:27:25.920 Korak says, this circle

01:27:27.200 thing could be a good

01:27:27.780 thing.

01:27:28.080 As you said, the Lib Dems

01:27:29.040 would be the biggest 0.99

01:27:29.500 racist if they experienced

01:27:30.540 cultural enrichment.

01:27:31.360 Just a thought.

01:27:31.880 Well, none of them are

01:27:33.780 Lib Dem areas.

01:27:34.820 No.

01:27:35.460 Lib Dem areas are all 0.96

01:27:36.440 the sort of Southwest and

01:27:37.600 Southeast.

01:27:38.180 They were all in the

01:27:40.140 Northwest and sort of

01:27:42.360 East Anglia.

01:27:44.680 Middle band, wasn't it?

01:27:45.740 Yeah.

01:27:46.040 Yeah.

01:27:46.600 These are traditionally

01:27:47.620 labor areas and so the

01:27:49.800 Lib Dems are still not

01:27:50.800 getting the machetes running

01:27:51.920 down their streets,

01:27:53.180 unfortunately.

01:27:53.820 Because I am right about

01:27:54.700 the Liberal Democrats. 1.00

01:27:55.820 They are racists. 1.00

01:27:57.380 They're just really 0.99

01:27:58.060 polite racists.

01:27:58.980 Ed Davey and his talking 0.55

01:28:02.740 on the train thing, that's

01:28:04.140 a purely English prejudice.

01:28:06.500 Oh, yeah.

01:28:06.940 Deeply, deeply English 1.00

01:28:08.240 prejudice.

01:28:09.020 And it's just like, no, I

01:28:10.380 hate whoever's making that

01:28:11.900 noise.

01:28:12.240 I'm totally colorblind as

01:28:13.320 the person.

01:28:14.300 Okay, yeah, no, I agree

01:28:15.220 with you, Ed, but every

01:28:16.260 single one of them will be

01:28:17.120 brown.

01:28:17.940 Every single person you

01:28:19.380 arrest on that will be a

01:28:20.560 foreigner.

01:28:21.280 So, you know, they are a 0.95

01:28:22.820 racist party, which is just 0.89

01:28:25.040 really funny.

01:28:25.860 Omar says, a lot of people

01:28:27.180 want to be compassionate,

01:28:28.020 but it's such a blatant

01:28:28.740 kick in the teeth that 0.99

01:28:29.420 foreigners are prioritized 1.00

01:28:30.260 ever-struggling natives on 1.00

01:28:31.460 the back of our taxes.

01:28:32.160 Yeah, it's crazy how

01:28:33.520 insulting it is.

01:28:35.260 It's really insufferable.

01:28:36.860 That's one of the sort

01:28:38.220 of fundamental things, is

01:28:39.620 the English are a very, 1.00

01:28:40.520 very generous people, but

01:28:41.580 the reason we invented all

01:28:43.680 sports is because we like

01:28:44.860 fair play.

01:28:45.520 And this is just so

01:28:46.480 obviously unfair.

01:28:48.800 There's just no argument.

01:28:49.840 Yeah.

01:28:50.720 How dare you? 0.66

01:28:52.760 And I don't know, I hate

01:28:54.240 to think about where it's

01:28:55.060 going to go, but you're

01:28:55.940 exactly right.

01:28:56.460 The English obsession 0.92

01:28:58.920 with sports has often

01:29:00.000 been quite a strange

01:29:01.240 thing to foreigners, but

01:29:02.780 they're not into sports

01:29:03.960 in the way that we've

01:29:04.660 been into sports.

01:29:05.460 Most countries just

01:29:06.720 haven't invented a

01:29:07.700 sport.

01:29:08.920 And if you think about it,

01:29:09.740 like, what's the German

01:29:10.520 sport?

01:29:12.000 What's the Italian

01:29:13.040 sport?

01:29:13.740 They're all playing

01:29:14.180 football.

01:29:15.440 That's our sport.

01:29:16.380 You know, what's the

01:29:16.940 Indian sport?

01:29:18.120 Cricket, because we

01:29:19.040 invented it.

01:29:19.840 Like, Pakistan, cricket.

01:29:21.140 Like, you know, what's

01:29:21.980 what's the African

01:29:22.860 sport?

01:29:24.240 What's the South

01:29:24.860 American sport?

01:29:26.220 They don't care about

01:29:27.540 sports.

01:29:27.920 We care about sports.

01:29:29.180 We're weird about it.

01:29:31.060 It's funny.

01:29:31.820 We're not funny.

01:29:32.980 Ha ha.

01:29:33.380 But when we talk about

01:29:35.480 this thing, well, because

01:29:36.440 sometimes you say funny

01:29:37.960 and there'll be a

01:29:39.040 fedora tip of saying,

01:29:40.360 what's funny about it?

01:29:41.440 where I've talked about

01:29:44.800 and other people have

01:29:45.420 talked about that the

01:29:46.340 consequence of all of

01:29:47.680 this is sort of a

01:29:48.200 balkanisation and then

01:29:51.100 and then the nightmare

01:29:52.060 scenario of what

01:29:53.540 happened in Yugoslavia

01:29:54.380 in the 90s.

01:29:55.880 And some people, I hope

01:29:56.640 not hate people or just

01:29:57.860 lefty traitor people,

01:29:59.080 say that I or people 0.56

01:30:00.820 say that we're the

01:30:02.660 insane ones for

01:30:03.780 thinking that's where

01:30:04.360 it's going to end up.

01:30:05.520 That we've got a

01:30:06.980 bloodlust that we want

01:30:08.320 it to end up that way.

01:30:09.620 I never wanted any of

01:30:10.480 this.

01:30:10.560 Of course not.

01:30:11.840 I've got to try and

01:30:12.540 do everything in our

01:30:13.360 power to avoid it

01:30:14.480 ending up in Yugoslavia 0.82

01:30:16.180 1990s situation.

01:30:17.380 I just wanted to play

01:30:17.980 video games.

01:30:19.220 Yeah.

01:30:19.760 I really did.

01:30:20.580 I didn't want any of

01:30:21.380 this.

01:30:22.260 But anyway, unfortunately

01:30:23.500 at that point we're out

01:30:24.320 of time.

01:30:25.060 So, Alex, thank you so

01:30:26.260 much for joining us.

01:30:27.600 socials and we will be

01:30:31.560 with this?
