The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1177

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotuses for Monday the 2nd of

00:00:04.040 June 2025. I'm joined by Stephen and Firas, and today we're going to be talking about the

00:00:09.780 rioting across Paris over the weekend. You may have seen that coming up in your social media

00:00:15.600 feed. We're going to talk about the Attorney General and how actually Britain is just being

00:00:20.580 governed by a cartel of its enemies. And finally, we're going to end on something quite fun,

00:00:25.800 which is that fairy tales are actually based, and we should be paying more attention to this.

00:00:31.060 There's a reason that they don't want your kids reading these things these days. Anyway, before

00:00:36.060 we begin, we've decided to extend the time for the code for the Trivium, because so many people

00:00:43.260 were essentially demanding because of the way that time works and the way that pay packets work and

00:00:49.980 things like that. And so if you have watched the webinars, you can find the Trivium code there.

00:00:54.880 The webinars will be on the individual courses. You just have to sign up for free to the

00:01:00.720 courses.lotuses.com, and then you can watch the webinars. Anyway, let's begin. What's going on in

00:01:06.880 Paris? Right, well, let's get in there first of all. We should go on this. There we are. I just felt,

00:01:13.220 you know, Paris. I love Paris, or at least I did anyway.

00:01:16.940 Think about Paris in there, and just that little bit of music there is the traditional French guy

00:01:25.180 playing around, and you see the streets filled with flowers, the old classic cars, and, you know,

00:01:33.000 ambling along not many people there at all. And I thought to myself, you know, I kind of,

00:01:36.960 that's Paris then, just in the 1980s. That is like the kind of mid-1980s. And then...

00:01:43.680 Within our living memory.

00:01:44.840 Within our living memory. And then, this is today. Frenchmen disturbed by Muslims praying

00:01:52.760 on the street. I don't know if that can be played, but, you know, it's just a horrific sound.

00:01:57.540 Maybe you don't want to hear it, but there are 500 mosques now in Paris. And not in addition to

00:02:04.420 that, people are actually sat there in prayer on their hands and knees whilst they're flying

00:02:10.500 the Palestinian flag. And as I say, that was Paris. Then, this is Paris now. And as you saw over the

00:02:21.620 weekend, you know, Paris was in flames. Paris was burning. And all over, I kind of think to myself,

00:02:27.520 is Paris Saint-Germain. Kick the living daylights out of Inter Milan in the football championship

00:02:33.400 trophy, the Champions League. Great, good game for them. You know, generally, I thought the game was

00:02:38.680 okay-ish, not particularly spectacular. But I kind of thought to myself, you know, when you win a team,

00:02:44.480 when, you know, United gets up there, there's something special to celebrate and just get out

00:02:49.700 there and really give it a full kind of support for them. And Paris does it differently. I've got to

00:02:56.020 admit, this is their method of celebrating Paris Saint-Germain winning.

00:03:00.740 Yes, as you can see, grab the Palestinian flags out, not the Paris Saint-Germain flags.

00:03:09.960 Just a quick thing, when you can hear the video playing, you can't really hear the person

00:03:13.200 talking. So can we turn the video sound off, please, Samson?

00:03:18.960 Sorry about that. I just, it's kind of like, just look at this. This is Paris Saint-Germain. And

00:03:23.500 don't, you know, being retweeted across there by Linza Rosen. It's a flashback of what they

00:03:28.940 do in support of their teams and how they... Is this over a football match? This is over

00:03:34.120 a football match, yes. Oh, right. I thought it was some sort of ethnic conflict. I didn't

00:03:37.600 look into it because I thought, ah, someone will cover on the podcast. No, no, no, no, no.

00:03:40.260 It's absolutely true. Paris Saint-Germain goes out there, you know, they do a good game.

00:03:44.060 And as you look at Paris Saint-Germain there, I'm on with Macron. I just wonder if any of those

00:03:48.280 players also got a slap from his wife. I don't know. Sorry, just... She's probably already

00:03:53.640 eyeing them up because many of them are younger than the husband when she got him. So around

00:03:57.160 the same age she likes. I don't follow football. So is this the French team?

00:04:01.160 Paris Saint-Germain is just like Arsenal or just like Chelsea. You know, it's a club in

00:04:05.360 the middle of Paris. It's got a kind of relatively rich history. It's effectively owned and sponsored

00:04:12.680 by Qatar. Do they not have Frenchmen playing for their team?

00:04:16.780 Oh, well, all of these are allegedly French people. I mean, the ones that they've been

00:04:20.280 born in different countries. I appreciate they're administratively French. Yeah.

00:04:24.800 But, I mean, just look at them. No, no. I mean, you can look at it. And, you know,

00:04:32.400 there are obviously some that have been born in France. Probably the guy on the top left.

00:04:35.960 Yeah. You've got a Frenchman. Yeah. Well, actually, I think there's a couple of Poles in there,

00:04:40.240 maybe one German. But there's various Turks and different nationalities over there. Many of them

00:04:45.520 do come from the kind of bordellos of Paris, where they have training sessions in there.

00:04:52.140 But it's just really, they're all jubilant. So is Macron. He's congratulating them with

00:04:57.340 a big clap on his hands there. And then, of course, whilst he's doing that, you know,

00:05:04.840 Paris Burns, Radio Jenner has that. He's got this coming out. He gives out a great quote.

00:05:09.720 So, again, you, but this is then what happens afterwards. So, you know, on the streets of

00:05:15.040 Paris, I just grabbed a few together. So, whilst they're clapping.

00:05:21.340 So, the, this rioting was in response to a football. Yeah. Again, it was in response to

00:05:27.440 a football victory. A victory. And in the World Cup, when, I think it was the Moroccans,

00:05:32.340 when they won, there was a riot. And then when they lost, there was a riot. Yeah. So,

00:05:37.700 it seems that the riot in response to football outcomes is the default setting.

00:05:43.200 Yeah. I mean.

00:05:44.020 And then, you know, there's a football match. Just make sure your car isn't parked on the

00:05:49.000 street. Right.

00:05:50.600 Board up your shop. They're going to riot because football. Yeah.

00:05:54.540 So, there's no logic or political reason for this. No, no, no, no. This was, this keeps

00:06:01.000 on happening in response to football matches. Oh. And so, the rate of French cars burning

00:06:06.040 as a result of just small localized riots, sometimes it's an arrest. Sometimes it's a

00:06:11.740 police incident. Sometimes it's political. Very often, it's just because, well, it's hot

00:06:16.740 outside. So, what else are you going to do? Or there's been a football game and what

00:06:20.060 else are you supposed to do? So, it's sort of a default setting.

00:06:22.900 Not anything else, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the last big riots in 2023, I think

00:06:28.260 the total cost was around a billion euros that were sort of destroyed in the span of

00:06:34.780 a few days. So, it's not an insignificant issue. Right. It's becoming something with a

00:06:40.400 real economic impact for France. And it's pretty much continuous. Well, I mean, good

00:06:47.380 thing that you can't. You've got to say, I remember in the euros, I think when, I think

00:06:51.640 France was sharing the euros with Holland or Belgium. Right. And I was actually in the

00:06:56.540 middle of Paris. And they put a nice little big screen on like everyone else there. And

00:07:00.200 we're sat watching it. And the police are around the edges at the back. And then there

00:07:03.520 was a mini kind of riot went on as loads of the local communities, shall we say, the people

00:07:09.720 who had imported themselves into Paris, decided they wanted to rob and kick and beat anyone

00:07:17.920 who tried to stop themselves being robbed whilst watching a football match. And the police,

00:07:22.540 literally as they do with the boards on the channel, sit there, light up a jetan, watch

00:07:28.080 and do absolutely nothing. Because, you know, after all, isn't it nice to be a police officer,

00:07:32.140 watch in full gear, or with all your kit protected there and just allow crime to happen in front

00:07:38.440 of you? Because maybe it's, I've not really finished my coffee. Yeah. What's their incentive

00:07:43.800 to stop crime?

00:07:44.780 So the police are damned if they do, damned if they don't. There was a riot, I think that

00:07:50.520 was the 2023 one, because they stopped a guy running them over by shooting him. Yeah.

00:07:55.120 So he was trying to kill them. Yeah. They shot him. The result was a riot. And you don't want

00:08:02.120 to end up being the police officer who does something to stop an incident, as justified

00:08:07.100 as that might be, that then leads to something much bigger kicking off because there's no political

00:08:12.200 will to actually deal with the problem of rioting. Yeah. It's the same pattern that you see all

00:08:19.400 over the West. The politicians, the, you're going to talk about attorney generals, the leadership

00:08:26.780 of the police, they just want things to keep away from full-scale ethnic riots because they're

00:08:34.620 terrified of that. But they're also not willing to do anything to address the risk.

00:08:39.820 No, they're definitely not willing to address the risk. And I just kind of think it's myself. I'm a

00:08:45.120 massive Star Wars fan. And, um, I'm kind of watching the second series. Is it Caspian

00:08:50.640 Argon on, uh, uh, I'm not a Star Wars fan. And in there they've, you obviously, anyone

00:08:56.620 knows it's the empire versus the good guy, the rebellions. But there is a, this, in this

00:09:01.180 particular series, there's a brilliant series scenes where you've actually got the security

00:09:04.900 Tate, the security and they, they just don't, they don't care. And he basically says, there's

00:09:10.280 a riot, string them up, kill them. Uh, let's, well, they might throw things at us, string

00:09:16.160 another up, that'll stop them. Yeah. Now I'm never an advocate that we go out guns blazing,

00:09:20.760 killing everyone. But when you have this sort of level of riots regularly happening in Paris,

00:09:25.800 when you've got police officers being run over, as you've talked about, and they're shooting

00:09:29.800 at them. It doesn't make me a lot more pro-empire. It does make you a lot. You know, Darth Vader

00:09:34.300 should be down there. And Darth Vader would not tolerate this nonsense. He would. Bring

00:09:39.060 back Darth Vader. Yeah. I mean, but this, this, I find particularly savage. Yep. And

00:09:45.640 there are some police that come around and I, I just want people, I know there might be

00:09:49.220 sound on this and it's quite, quite upsetting, but this is two defenseless young girls look

00:09:54.580 at their ethnicity in the car compared to the ethnicity of around them. And then ask yourself

00:09:59.520 why you wouldn't want Darth Vader and all of them coming and just beating the hell out of

00:10:03.020 these people around them.

00:10:04.020 What do the protesters or rioters think they're doing? Look, they smash the window. What do

00:10:18.460 they think they're doing? Right. And that I find utterly two, two girls in a car surrounded

00:10:24.600 by a mob of clear, clearly Moroccan or Algerian Muslims, and they're smashing the car on two,

00:10:31.180 two Parisian girls that, or maybe they're not, but they, you know, certainly not of their ethnicity.

00:10:36.860 And no one's doing anything. Not only that, they're filming it as it goes through. Yeah.

00:10:41.140 They might find it funny. It's disgraceful. It's just absolute anarchy.

00:10:45.180 Anarchy. First, they find this violence amusing. Yes. And we just have to accept that there are

00:10:51.640 some people who do find this kind of violence amusing. The second point I think is slightly

00:10:56.700 more important. The more tolerance is given to this, the more severe their reaction must be

00:11:04.200 in order to stop it. As in, when this is normal. Just like Darth Vader becomes. Yeah. When this is

00:11:10.640 normal. Okay. You know, we were just doing the normal thing that was within the rules as far

00:11:16.760 as we understood them. Now you're telling us to stop. The time before. Exactly. Exactly. So that

00:11:21.740 means that the level of severity that you need to exercise to prevent it keeps rising the more you

00:11:26.480 tolerate it. So tolerance is the destructive policy here. Or maybe it's the plan policy because it helps

00:11:32.980 them incorporate the rules and regulations that restrict our freedoms even more. When we're on ID cards,

00:11:38.800 where we want to be able to have barcodes on us to be able to check, which is exactly like the extreme

00:11:43.600 of all dystopian movies is the way that they control us. So I, there was a thing about this the other

00:11:49.000 day where, um, two, I think Pakistani lads had stabbed an Indian lad with a katana or Japanese sword or

00:11:58.280 some sort. And now I'm not allowed to buy a decorative Japanese sword. It's like, sorry, what the hell has

00:12:04.600 this got to do with me? You know, why the hell? But obviously the government's right, which got banned

00:12:08.940 samurai swords. It's the same in all American cities that have the strictest gun laws. They also happen

00:12:14.060 to have the highest level of crime. They, they only, they only, they only end up persecuting the law

00:12:19.120 abiding citizens who are not involved in the crime in the first place. Because they're the easy target

00:12:22.400 and they can spin a narrative around it. And they're the only people who are going to actually respond

00:12:25.760 lawfully to the thing anyway. Yes. Like you say, you would have to have quite extreme measures to crack

00:12:30.200 down on these people. And they're just too weak and too soft to do it. Well, you can see why people

00:12:34.740 start to be aggressive towards them, angry towards them, why the mobs now want to divide themselves on

00:12:39.740 cultural lines and saying, if this is what they're going to do to two women, where there's a mob of

00:12:43.780 them, then we need to protect ourselves and form our own mob to be able to take them out because the

00:12:48.200 police aren't going to do it. And the police are just sitting back and the politicians are sitting

00:12:51.900 there, you know, in nice, comfortable, lovely areas outside of Paris might come in for their

00:12:56.400 great place to stay just for a vote. Just a quick thing. If we can go back to that previous one a

00:13:02.120 second. Yeah. Those two women, you said pay attention to the ethnicity. They didn't look

00:13:06.700 ethnically French to me. No. Ah, okay. And so like... I thought the first one nearest to us looked

00:13:11.520 a bit like a French girl. Maybe... To understand the mindset, Carl... I don't know. They don't...

00:13:18.700 Okay. Maybe you're right there. This one absolutely doesn't. To understand the mindset,

00:13:22.540 that they are uncovered and therefore they're legitimate targets. It's not about the ethnicity,

00:13:28.900 it's about the culture. Exactly. They are culturally westernized. That makes them legitimate targets

00:13:33.760 regardless of whether or not they're of the same ethnicity. Yes. In the sense that these are guys

00:13:38.340 who would sort of murder their sisters over this, that, and the other issue. So there's that element

00:13:43.740 to keep in mind. Yeah. It just kind of gets... The whole night carries on and it's still going today.

00:13:48.460 Really? Yeah. And I've just picked out a few about like the abuse of the girls. This was a

00:13:52.460 bit of like bombing and more fireworks, but actually petrol bombs coming out on there. Again,

00:13:59.060 there you go. You just see it. A couple of petrol bombs being thrown at whoever there.

00:14:04.260 Set fire the cars. And, you know, you kind of look at that and you see this one, the whole...

00:14:12.880 But I want to look at the numbers, right? Two dead, one cop in a coma, 192 injured, 559 people are

00:14:22.920 arrested all over a football match. And as you say, the looting's gone into millions, they're looting

00:14:27.540 all the shops all over the place. I mean, I just look at this as the streets. I've got two more I'm

00:14:31.820 going to pick up on this. It's just a casual bit of mass violence going on. That's clearly fireworks

00:14:39.560 on this occasion, rather than that.

00:14:41.960 Look, this is going to only end when the police start using live bullets.

00:14:45.580 Yes.

00:14:45.860 If they keep on tolerating this, this only ends with live fire. And then you end up with insurgency,

00:14:52.340 because the art of groups like Islamic State is to blend criminality, rioting, and jihad.

00:14:59.900 And then you end up with much more violence when you try to stop it, because you've tolerated

00:15:04.260 it for so long.

00:15:05.420 Yeah. And I just say, as the death toll rises, we put them in there. And I just, there was

00:15:09.860 one there that showed the day after, but maybe that's, maybe I'll put a mixed one up. I won't

00:15:15.200 throw this one again in. But again, this is sort of thing from Knights Templary Organization,

00:15:19.200 very good at monitoring this across. They say it's an uprising of African youths in the

00:15:25.120 heart of Europe. I suppose they're right when they talk about mainly Algerians are the biggest

00:15:30.060 amount of kind of immigrants in Paris now.

00:15:33.960 Remember, a decent chunk of the Algerians came to France because their parents were collaborators

00:15:39.700 with the French during the Algerian War of Independence. So these guys were taken as refugees

00:15:45.360 by the French, as sort of, they fought on our side, so we owe them something. But then just

00:15:51.460 some things don't work.

00:15:53.140 Yeah. Because now you've got a whole load of people who were there who weren't the ones

00:15:56.900 collaborating, who've come over, and you've got this conflict between the two. And you do hear of

00:16:02.580 like Algerian communities saying, why are you bringing so many in?

00:16:05.560 Yeah.

00:16:05.860 And it's the same sort of thing. But whilst we're looking at this, I don't know about you, but I

00:16:11.340 think this is relatively significant. The number of dead, the arrested, the 400 cars. If anyone

00:16:17.060 goes on to X now and looks at France 24, it doesn't mention it at all.

00:16:24.300 So this is the French version of the BBC, right?

00:16:26.340 Yeah. This is the official French chat.

00:16:27.820 It doesn't mention it at all. Yeah, there you are. A little bit of football. Well done,

00:16:30.560 guys. You've done all right. It's a drone attack on Russia. You've got a bit of an opinion

00:16:37.120 about the unsavitalised bearings. You know, that came up now, but that wasn't up when I

00:16:41.520 went looking at it. The other great one over there is Le Monde. Same sort of thing they make.

00:16:47.700 Nope.

00:16:47.980 They're New York Times, right?

00:16:49.000 Yeah. Le Monde. It's all about Elon Musk. And they're the, you know, it's Elon Musk.

00:16:54.720 Yeah.

00:16:55.980 India.

00:16:56.620 Someone else.

00:16:57.520 Yeah.

00:16:58.680 Emmanuel Macron proposes Fisk of Pascal. A bit of sport. Yeah. No violence going on in Paris.

00:17:04.000 There's nothing in Paris on there on their main headline. And then, I think I kind of

00:17:08.480 look at America. Jubilant soccer fans. I mean, they look pretty bloody jubilant. I don't

00:17:15.380 know what you're complaining about. We've burnt another police car. We've killed another officer.

00:17:19.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, is that the level of jubilance the New York Times talks about?

00:17:22.740 Two people dead in the New York Times. Yeah, jubilant soccer fans. One person died in a traffic

00:17:27.040 incident and another was stabbed to death. Just Welsh choir boys. Random fans. Yeah.

00:17:32.060 Unspecified fans. Yeah. So, the French mainstream media are hiding it. The New York Times kind

00:17:38.060 of reports up on it, but just, it's a little bit of shenanigans going on. They misrepresent

00:17:41.820 it. Yeah. And so, you kind of look to yourself, and of course, I always get this every now and

00:17:46.740 again. This is from the Half Decent Football magazine when Saturday comes. The problem of

00:17:51.960 Paris Saint-Germain is notoriously far-right supporters. Oh.

00:17:56.480 I saw a lot of far-right supporters there. This is them talking about the same sort of

00:18:01.740 thing. Far-right supporters. Now, they're talking about other cases, but, you know, this

00:18:06.720 is another game where they said... Historically, it kind of was, I suppose, what

00:18:10.400 you would characterize as far-right football hooligans that were the problem with football,

00:18:14.560 right? I mean, like, you know, British football supporters, English ones in particular, are quite

00:18:18.860 famous on the continent for being rowdy. Yeah. And it's interesting how that stereotype is

00:18:24.300 falling away now. Oh, absolutely. The times have changed, and look how things have

00:18:28.500 evolved. Are you happy with that? Because, I mean, like, people didn't actually used to

00:18:31.700 die during English football hooligans. Not very often, if you need an odd one here and

00:18:35.620 there. And the interesting thing about it, you only get the Chelsea headhunters would,

00:18:38.860 like, kind of link in with Millwall or with the northern teams of Nottingham and, you know,

00:18:44.240 Manchester City. When it went abroad, they all became mates. Yeah. Or, like, supporting

00:18:48.640 behind the England flag on terms of that. I somehow can't imagine that all happening

00:18:52.640 in Paris Saint-Germain. Oh, no. The exact same thing has happened. I mean,

00:18:56.080 Moroccans or with Algerians or with Tunisians or with, you know, Egyptians. They're all mates

00:19:01.300 against the French now. That's how it works. And you ask yourself, why is this happening?

00:19:06.500 And then I just picked this one up as just a general kind of look at the numbers of how

00:19:10.540 the Muslim areas started to come into Paris's arrondissements, the departments in the region

00:19:16.520 of the French. Paris is just one French department. It's got several areas in here. But this

00:19:20.940 is a 1999 census. 1.6 million immigrants living in the Ile de France region of it, which is

00:19:28.160 one of the biggest regions of that. Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, 50% in 1999, the

00:19:36.480 immigrant population lived there. That's why you can see in those pictures, the vast majority

00:19:41.560 of them, supporting Paris Saint-Germain, are from those suburban areas, which used to be

00:19:46.340 called, like, ghettos. But they spent an awful lot of money trying to update them, give them

00:19:51.260 a lot of opportunities. And it just doesn't work. If they're willing to have your houses

00:19:55.840 done up, areas cleaned, nice places to live, and they're still willing to come out and

00:20:00.540 spend billions in rioting because you've not done enough for us or we hate the state enough

00:20:04.640 to have the riots, then it's clearly not working. That policy's not working.

00:20:08.780 It's not really about doing enough, is it? It's really about them asserting their separate

00:20:13.000 ethnic identity, or religious identity probably, against the French state, against the French

00:20:20.700 society. This isn't about having done enough. There's nothing they want from you. It's more

00:20:26.300 violence.

00:20:26.780 There's a will to power there that's exercised in enormous violence that isn't in any way

00:20:34.580 appreciated or respected by the leadership classes, because they are of the firm belief

00:20:40.060 that human beings are simply cogs, and they are completely interchangeable. So they have

00:20:45.180 zero respect for their own culture, which actually, weirdly enough, translates into zero respect

00:20:50.080 for Muslim culture. And they think that you can just impose laicite on everybody, and to more

00:20:56.600 morning, they're going to be just as French as Joan of Arc. And so it's this delusion that

00:21:04.680 they have about human nature, about culture.

00:21:07.680 They would have actually burnt Joan of Arc on the stake before the English got a chance

00:21:10.340 to quite frankly.

00:21:10.720 I'm surprised you didn't get the picture of them sort of sitting on her statue.

00:21:14.140 Yeah. Well, it was one of many I just had to... There was so much out there. There's so

00:21:19.440 much destruction, so much abuse of the culture and history of Paris, and actually of the French

00:21:24.880 culture itself. That these people are just coming, and they're clearly saying it's not us.

00:21:29.200 Because a conquering group's first target is to destroy the symbols of the conquered.

00:21:35.760 Yeah.

00:21:35.960 This is why you see the epidemic of church fires up and down France. They're burning churches

00:21:42.320 one or two a week. And it's all clearly arson. And the police are doing absolutely nothing

00:21:49.440 about it. Even Notre Dame, and that was just, oh, well, who knows?

00:21:52.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who knows what happened in Notre Dame? And then they tried to sort of

00:21:56.160 make it... They tried to desecrate the rebuilding of Notre Dame and make it absolutely horrific.

00:22:03.760 And you saw the level of ignorance of the press, because... Anyway, that's a different story.

00:22:09.280 I mean, I think what we're seeing there in Paris is my view, is this is what's coming to Europe,

00:22:13.200 the rest of Europe. I mean, we're already seeing it in different parts, where the communities are no longer

00:22:17.760 mixing, where they will use the excuse of a football match to have a riot against the state.

00:22:22.240 Well, this is what happened in Leicester with the Pakistani and Indian communities,

00:22:24.960 you have a cricket match. Apparently, it's about a cricket match, but it's not really

00:22:28.160 about a cricket match. Everyone knows it's not about a bloody cricket match.

00:22:30.640 No, it's about something much deeper, much more insidious. And we're seeing that out there,

00:22:35.360 that they're going to now have this big argument will happen. On the left, they'll say it's because

00:22:39.920 they're all poor, it's because they live in poor housing, they've got no opportunities.

00:22:43.840 Our grandparents were poor and they didn't do anything like this, did they?

00:22:47.040 I didn't see my grandfather and grandmother going out and rioting down Burnage and setting

00:22:51.280 fire to the shops and one or two cars that were out there smashing them up because we

00:22:55.360 couldn't get a pint of milk that day. No, we didn't. You know, this is just an excuse by the left

00:23:00.480 to use it because that's part of their social construct for them. Rioting is a very communistic act.

00:23:07.520 Because the minute that they respect culture, all of their worldview falls apart.

00:23:12.080 And then they have to accept that what created Europe is Christian culture.

00:23:15.840 And the minute they admit that, they have to review everything that they've done.

00:23:19.760 Yeah.

00:23:20.320 So it is safer for them mentally to not face reality and to keep on insisting that the only

00:23:27.680 causes for this are just socioeconomic.

00:23:29.840 It's also worth remembering that the entire purpose of the left is to destroy everything

00:23:34.720 that is particular about our culture.

00:23:36.640 Yes.

00:23:37.120 These people are a weapon that they're using against us in order to destroy those things

00:23:41.520 that we held dear. This isn't accidental. They're completely clear about it.

00:23:46.400 Yeah.

00:23:46.960 Private property, that has to go. Traditions, customs, they have to go. Things that make us different

00:23:53.200 from other people, that has to go. This isn't a secret. No, it isn't.

00:23:57.680 And I think I'm just going to end that and say that, you know, whilst nothing's happening,

00:24:02.240 there is like the usual thing about the Palestinian flags here. I won't go into this one because

00:24:08.800 the other aspect about attacking the state is this chap in a Palestinian flag was attacking

00:24:14.000 somebody from the firefighters trying to put out the flames. Oh, yeah.

00:24:17.440 And also trying to help somebody who'd actually been knocked on the street. And you can see him

00:24:21.360 swearing at him and screaming at him in whatever language it was, but he certainly wasn't French.

00:24:27.040 And in the end, the firefighters had to back away and allow that to go on.

00:24:31.520 And we have now something much deeper, I think, happening where you can see terrorist attacks

00:24:36.480 regularly in Germany. You can see these kind of riots that are occurring in France on a regular

00:24:41.360 basis. You see the riots that occur in Belgium, particularly in Brussels, that are on a particular

00:24:46.880 basis. Holland, where you get this discrimination in particular areas where people aren't allowed

00:24:51.200 to go into, but the police just back off from it. The rapes that are occurring in Sweden,

00:24:56.560 you know, and of course we know what's happening across our country too. So the whole of Europe,

00:25:01.680 and yet we're the ones, when we point this out, when we give the intellectual arguments,

00:25:05.840 where we discuss the kind of the facts about it, the evidence and the way that the police are backing

00:25:10.240 down. All of that is that we're the racists, we're the xenophobes, rather than, and by showing this,

00:25:17.680 we're actually encouraging it. Actually we're reflecting the negativity and the bad attitudes

00:25:24.240 of those who are perpetuating this, which are those in power.

00:25:26.960 OPH UK says it's not a riot against the state, it's a riot against us and ours. They hate us

00:25:33.680 because of a well-deserved cultural inferiority complex that's going to end in new religio-cultural

00:25:39.200 wars in Europe. Basically true, yeah. The hapsification says club football is different

00:25:43.520 to international football. Playing for your country is different to playing for a club,

00:25:47.440 and this is so bad, I can't even make fun of the French, that's how bad it is.

00:25:52.080 Well, I mean, other than you say the French police wave the white flag.

00:25:55.520 Yeah, but I think OPH UK is right. It's not a war against the state. The state is the one

00:26:02.080 protecting and bringing in these people and creating these communities. They're there

00:26:05.920 because of a result of policy. Anyway, let's move on. In fact, this is very closely connected,

00:26:11.760 at least thematically. Because we are in a terrible position in the United Kingdom at the moment,

00:26:18.000 where we have just avowed enemies of the British people in control of the state. I think it was a

00:26:25.120 conquest third law, or is it to explain the decisions of any bureaucratic entity, just assume it's

00:26:30.400 controlled by a cabal of its enemies. And that's true in the condition, in the context of the British

00:26:36.480 state. So let's have a quick look at how things are going for them. And I think really this is what's

00:26:41.360 behind Starmer's complete failure to be able to claw back any kind of goodwill with the British

00:26:47.120 public, is that everyone can tell that really he's just our enemy. He is just against us.

00:26:53.440 He, for everything, there's a great graph here that shows how governments tend to do

00:27:00.080 favourability-wise in their first year in office, or the first 10 months. And you can see that at the

00:27:06.800 bottom now in 2024, Starmer is just the biggest drop for a new government in the last year.

00:27:12.160 Wow, that is an enormous number. By a long way. By a long way.

00:27:15.120 Yeah. Starmer currently has an approval rating of 15%, with 50% absolutely against him, and the rest

00:27:22.800 probably just being like... 92, was that the major conservative government?

00:27:26.640 Yes. So that's the closest he's got, his major, and then of course Rishi Sunak in 2019, or would

00:27:32.960 have that been Liz Truss in 2019?

00:27:34.800 Yeah, it would have been Liz Truss. 2019 would have been Boris.

00:27:37.440 Oh yeah, it's 2017, isn't it? Yeah, good point.

00:27:41.520 But the point being is, no one comes close to how unpopular Starmer is. And I genuinely

00:27:47.280 think it's because everyone can see that Starmer and his regime is not only staffed by morons,

00:27:51.600 right? These are not in any way our best and brightest. If you look at Rachel from accounts,

00:27:55.840 Starmer himself is not a genius, and just Lammy and Miliband and the rest. It's like a government

00:28:03.120 of just genuine incompetence, but hostile incompetence. Hostile. We can see that they

00:28:08.480 don't like us. I think one good example of this is the person that Keir Starmer decided to make the

00:28:14.080 Attorney General, which is Baron Richard Hermer. Lord Hermer, and Wikipedia has an amazing write-up

00:28:21.280 of his career here, right? I'm just going to read it out, because as I go along, you'll be like,

00:28:26.560 oh, I see what you mean, right? So, Hermer attended Cardiff High School. He went on to study politics

00:28:31.760 and modern history at the University of Manchester and pursued a legal career, being called to the

00:28:35.280 bar in 1993. So, he has been a lawyer for a long time. He joined Doughty Street Chambers in the same

00:28:42.160 year and took the silks and became a King's Counsel in 2009, before leaving in 2012 to join another firm

00:28:47.760 called Matrix Chambers. He later became the Chair of the Matrix Management Committee and was appointed

00:28:52.880 a Deputy High Court Judge in 2019. Both of those chambers, by the way, Doughty Street and Matrix,

00:28:58.960 are international left-wing law practices. That doesn't surprise me at all to hear that,

00:29:05.920 because he has spent his entire career as one of those kind of insufferable lefty human rights lawyers,

00:29:11.440 and this has been, honestly, the kind of myopic focus of his entire career, right? And so, let's,

00:29:17.120 they give us some of his cases. He argued that Shemima Begum should have been allowed to return to

00:29:21.920 the United Kingdom to participate in her appeal when he intervened for liberty in Begum versus Home

00:29:27.600 Secretary. So, he was in defense of Shemima Begum, obviously, as you might expect, right? He also

00:29:33.600 represented the mother of one of the ISIS Beatles. So, again, another Islamic terror.

00:29:38.480 These were the worst jihadis in Syria, most famous for their gruesome beheadings,

00:29:44.160 with perfect modern British accents, shall we say.

00:29:49.120 Yes. Well, when you say perfect, they had the London accent, but yes. Was it Jihadi John?

00:29:56.000 It was Jihadi John and his mates. There was the Kuwaiti guy. There was a bunch of them who were just,

00:30:01.600 even by the standards of ISIS, these guys were notorious.

00:30:04.560 Yes. And, of course, he found himself in defense of one of their mothers, which,

00:30:10.160 of course, he does. He represented former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Abu Zabudaya.

00:30:16.640 Zabayda. I can't pronounce it. In his Supreme Court case against the Foreign Commonwealth and

00:30:21.920 Development Office, and argued against the deportation of Al-Qaeda operative Abid Nasir.

00:30:26.960 Yeah. Why would we want him deported? Don't you realize he has human rights?

00:30:31.920 Yeah. He also acted for convicted terrorist Rangzeeb Ahmed, a Saudi Arabian terrorist and

00:30:38.000 Saudi Arabian terrorist, Mustafa Al- I can't pronounce the name.

00:30:41.520 Al-Sawi.

00:30:43.520 Al-Sawi.

00:30:44.160 Al-Sawi.

00:30:44.560 Foreign terrorists.

00:30:45.440 Yeah.

00:30:45.920 Like, that's what he spends his career defending. Like, literally, all of these are jihadis.

00:30:50.480 Like, all of these are convicted jihadis. He was involved in multiple cases related to

00:30:56.000 the war on terror, including representative victims in the Afghan unlawful killings inquiry,

00:31:01.040 and the inquest in Corporal Stephen Albert's death in the Iraq War. He also worked in cases

00:31:06.160 relating to police misconduct, including cases concerning the shooting of James Ashley and

00:31:10.640 the killing of Mark Duggan. He acted for over 900 victims in the Grand Four Fire. He represented

00:31:15.120 the family of Adam Rickwood, the youngest person to die in custody in the modern era. And he represented

00:31:19.120 the family of Ella Kissy Deborah, who was later found to have died of air pollution.

00:31:24.080 Okay. So every environmental case, every terrorist case, every kind of nasty person who wants to

00:31:32.400 blow up everything in Britain has had the Lord Hermer on his side.

00:31:38.560 Yes.

00:31:38.800 If not directly, definitely with sentiment.

00:31:42.960 Yes. But remember very clearly, we, as a barrister who was probably in chamber,

00:31:51.120 well, it's certainly around the bar. At the time he was called to the bar, I was called around the

00:31:54.800 same time. I applied for Doughty Street Chambers in those days as well, you know, because it was seen

00:31:59.440 as a good chambers. We do have this principle that we, what's called the cab rank rule, where if you're in

00:32:06.560 chambers and a case comes your way, you actually have to act on behalf of whoever the solicitor has

00:32:12.640 decided to instruct you, if you've got the capability and the skill, experience, knowledge,

00:32:16.800 et cetera, to do so. But there is always a proviso to that. The proviso is that you go to a set of

00:32:23.280 chambers that is known not to represent the police, known not to represent the government. So therefore,

00:32:29.920 the government's lawyers won't come to your chambers. Only solicitors in that field, in that area,

00:32:35.680 that might want to represent these individuals will come along and choose you. So it is an active

00:32:41.520 choice that you're making by being in those chambers and deciding to act for these cases.

00:32:46.320 I don't think it's a coincidence that he just happens to find himself on every occasion against

00:32:50.800 the British state and British people. Well, it's a decision made that you will go against the British

00:32:56.560 state and the British government. And to be fair, if I was in a set of chambers, there's a lot of work

00:33:01.680 that I would want to do against the British state. I would like to take on the Home Office all the

00:33:05.520 time for for not stopping migration. I would like to take on the behalf of the British people.

00:33:10.160 Absolutely. You know, and it's interesting that he intervened for liberty in Begum and the Home

00:33:15.200 Secretary. There's nothing stopping something like the Free Speech Union or an organization

00:33:19.840 being able to fund a barrister to take on the government on particular cases. It's just that,

00:33:24.720 unfortunately, I'm being prevented from ever joining a set of chambers.

00:33:28.000 So every time I go, they get me, they interview me, they say yes to join. And someone says,

00:33:33.360 I can't work with you. And it's reneged.

00:33:34.640 It's reneged. So I'm going to carry on because we're not actually at the end of this.

00:33:39.280 No, this carries on, right? So he unsuccessfully challenged the Supreme Court over the assessment

00:33:44.720 of the age of asylum seekers. So we shouldn't be assessing their age. Obviously, we should just

00:33:48.880 take their word for it, because they've all been so honest about that, as well as unsuccessfully

00:33:52.400 taking the UK government's court on behalf of Sri Lankan asylum seekers coming from the Chagos

00:33:56.400 Islands. In 2022, he was appointed to a task force on the accountability of crimes committed in

00:34:01.200 Ukraine, following Russia, blah, blah, blah. Okay. In 2023, he represented former Sinn Féin

00:34:06.160 president Jerry Adams, following damages claims. Again, is there an enemy of Britain that this

00:34:11.360 person hasn't defended? It's incredible. It's so wide-ranging. Yes. It's just, okay. Yeah,

00:34:18.080 fair enough. You also defended Jerry Adams. Yeah. And he also advised Caribbean nations on slavery

00:34:23.600 reparations and represented Kenyan victims of torture during the Mau Mau emergency. So I was

00:34:28.560 looking into these. The Kenyan victims of torture is probably the only one I actually agree with,

00:34:32.480 right? Because there was a stash of documents where the British had actually used torture. I'm

00:34:37.040 obviously against torture. So that's the only one I can actually find any justification for,

00:34:41.920 right? So that's very interesting how, literally, he's gone all around the world,

00:34:45.840 found every enemy of Britain, and said, right, I will fight in your cause. So thanks so much,

00:34:51.840 Baron Herma. But what's interesting as well is in the Wikipedia page, it tells us he's a former

00:34:57.440 friend and colleague of Keir Starmer at Dorothy Street Chambers. He was a donor to Starmer's

00:35:02.160 campaign in the 2020 Labour leadership election. And after Starmer became Prime Minister following

00:35:07.120 the 2024 general election, Starmer appointed Herma to the government as the Attorney General for

00:35:12.160 England and Wales and Advocate General for Northern Ireland. And he is the first person not to have served

00:35:16.800 in Parliament before becoming Attorney General in over a century. Yeah. Isn't that interesting?

00:35:22.400 So this looks like some sort of cronyism, doesn't it? Maybe Keir Starmer didn't know about his

00:35:26.880 background. Maybe Keir Starmer is a human rights lawyer of exactly the same stripe as this man.

00:35:32.320 Maybe he agrees with him on every single detail. Exactly. I mean, Keir Starmer did exactly the

00:35:36.800 same in his legal career. That's right. Did he not? He did.

00:35:38.800 So these two men are cut from the same cloth, and they both spent their time representing the enemies

00:35:45.680 of Britain, and now they're in charge of our country. That's great. That explains everything,

00:35:52.000 doesn't it? That really does explain absolutely everything.

00:35:55.120 It's the point that I think most people, not only that he's represented people that are against the

00:36:00.400 state, but it's the way that he was selected. Just because he's a mate, because he's a friend of

00:36:05.120 mine for such a long period of time, that I'm just going to pull you in. We've probably had

00:36:10.000 dinner with each other. You know, we've had plenty of times out with each other. I'm just

00:36:14.640 going to bring you in, but I've got no politics. I'm not elected. Don't worry about not being elected.

00:36:20.560 We can sort that out. Oh, you know how they sorted that out? Concurrently, as he was appointing

00:36:26.560 him to Attorney General, he made him a life peer as well. Yeah. So in order to sort of jump through

00:36:31.520 that hoop, he elevated him even further, polluting the upper chamber as well as the rest of politics.

00:36:37.920 A life here, a baron. This is just someone who doesn't like the state.

00:36:41.680 Yes. Goes against the state. Who hates the British state?

00:36:43.680 But he'll have the title of baron and become a life peer and work as the Attorney General.

00:36:47.440 It is remarkable how obviously cronyistic this is. Yes.

00:36:52.640 Like this is, I mean, you know, this is sort of Middle Eastern levels of cronyism, isn't it?

00:36:56.640 Even in the Middle East, you're meant to have some sort of loyalty to the state itself.

00:37:01.760 You would think.

00:37:02.480 The Egyptians, much as they humiliate the public individually, they don't insult the national

00:37:08.400 sentiment of being Egyptian. The Syrian regime was extremely cautious, the previous regime,

00:37:14.560 about respecting the Syrian's Arab and Muslim identity and Syria's heritage and doing everything

00:37:21.280 that it could to say that it was on the side of that heritage and trying to minimize their own

00:37:27.200 minority ethnicity to sort of further the idea that, no, no, this is a Sunni Muslim Arab country

00:37:35.360 and we're absolutely committed to this. It's only in Europe that you see this open hostility to the

00:37:42.080 identity of the majority. And then at least you never see that.

00:37:44.640 You know what's interesting? I actually forgot to get this clip when I was preparing the segment,

00:37:48.720 but he did an interview about a year ago where he's on a stage and he just says,

00:37:54.560 you know what, it's remarkable. England is the only place where you can, what was the word exactly?

00:38:01.440 You can attack the state and be lauded for it.

00:38:03.440 Yeah. And it's just crazy how we are watching this play out and now the guy is the Attorney General.

00:38:13.200 There's nowhere else for a lawyer to go, really, other than the Prime Minister from that, right?

00:38:17.040 Yeah. Well, that's right. You've got Swayla Braverman was the Attorney General before and then I think,

00:38:22.560 I can't remember who they, there's some person they put before that in the Conservative Party,

00:38:26.880 but yes, it's a really significant position to have because you're advising the government.

00:38:31.280 Yeah.

00:38:31.600 Yeah.

00:38:31.760 You're the head of law for the government.

00:38:33.040 It's, it's crazy how, how, Keir Starmer has arrived as the Prime Minister, obvious hater of this

00:38:38.880 country. And he's just filling the position. I mean, like people like David Lammy is our Foreign

00:38:43.200 Secretary. David Lammy hates Britain. We know David Lammy hates Britain.

00:38:46.880 He was calling for reparations and I will never forget first, his performance on that questions,

00:38:51.600 on that quiz show, which if you haven't seen it, you must look it up. And second, when he thought

00:38:56.720 that the black smoke coming out of the Vatican was racism.

00:38:59.360 Wow.

00:39:00.320 I mean, come on. They didn't need a dog whistle like that, did they?

00:39:03.200 That was just...

00:39:05.040 Oh, you just can't, sometimes you just can't make it up, can you? When you're looking at these

00:39:10.000 individuals, you look at who they're selecting, who's in power for Labour, and they want to be

00:39:15.280 seen as competent, they want to be seen as sensible, and no one is looking at them. And that's why it's

00:39:20.480 pointing to the figures that you said of why Keir Starmer is loathed to the extent that he is.

00:39:26.160 So anyway, Lord Herma, I don't know whether it's been made clear enough yet, but he's basically just

00:39:32.240 a communist, right?

00:39:33.200 Yes.

00:39:33.600 He's a deeply partisan agent.

00:39:38.160 So he got the start of his career through a magazine called Searchlight,

00:39:42.560 which was founded by communists.

00:39:44.960 Yep.

00:39:45.280 And he was some sort of hero as far as they were concerned.

00:39:48.960 Mm-hmm.

00:39:49.600 So he's not practically a communist. No, no, he's just a communist.

00:39:54.320 He's a spiritual communist.

00:39:55.760 Yes, this is how he began his career.

00:39:57.760 Yes.

00:39:58.640 Same with Keir Starmer though, you know, they've never reneged on any of these values.

00:40:02.240 No, no.

00:40:02.560 They've just realised, oh, it's more difficult than actually just getting a job and working

00:40:06.880 your way through the system.

00:40:07.760 Yes.

00:40:08.160 So anyway, this is why he called the Conservatives and Reform Parties a bunch of Nazis, basically.

00:40:14.400 Because of course he did.

00:40:16.000 Because there's no one else on earth who would be like, ah yes, the Conservatives.

00:40:20.240 Typical Nazis, the Conservatives.

00:40:23.200 I personally would call them communists.

00:40:24.960 But anyway, so he apologised for this clumsy remark.

00:40:29.040 It's not really an apology if you ever read what he said.

00:40:32.320 No, it's not an apology at all, actually. So yeah, the point being, he called the Conservative

00:40:41.840 and Reform bunch of Nazis because they wanted to leave the European Convention on Human Rights,

00:40:46.400 because the European Convention on Human Rights, the ECHR, is being used to destroy our borders.

00:40:52.800 So we have to bring in every hostile foreigner on the earth, presumably so he can get paid tomorrow

00:40:57.680 for defending them.

00:40:58.560 Yeah, he was trying to link in the German jurist, I was going to say Klaus Schwab,

00:41:04.400 that might as well have been the same person, to be honest.

00:41:06.320 But it was Klaus, who was an advisor to Hitler, who talked about the nation state.

00:41:12.640 Oh, Schmidt.

00:41:13.280 Oh, Schmidt.

00:41:14.000 It should have been the nation state was more important than international law.

00:41:18.720 And that is not what any of us talk about when we're dealing with the European Court of Human Rights.

00:41:23.040 We're actually saying around the nation state, yes, should have prevalence over the laws impacting us,

00:41:28.320 where the ECHR, we can't ever change it, we can't overturn it.

00:41:32.080 This objection seems very much to be like Hitler saying smoking's bad for you.

00:41:35.760 Yeah.

00:41:36.240 Yeah, obviously the nation state should take precedence over international law.

00:41:39.440 Yeah, but we're not actually saying we don't own human rights.

00:41:42.080 That's the difference. We want our own human rights, whether it's a bill of rights,

00:41:44.960 whether it's looking after our own common law.

00:41:46.480 England invented the concept. We're not having a discussion with foreigners about what human rights are.

00:41:51.120 We have them already. We're not removing them. We're just saying we're just not having a foreign

00:41:55.280 court deal with it. There is no link or similarity at all to whatever was talked about.

00:42:00.480 Well, he thinks it's just like the early days of Nazi Germany, actually, which just...

00:42:04.720 Wasn't his apology something along the lines of, I'm sorry for calling you Nazis. That's an offence to Nazis.

00:42:12.880 Not quite that bad. He said his choice of words was clumsy and regrets how...

00:42:17.840 He didn't actually say this. A spokesperson for his office said this.

00:42:21.520 Wow.

00:42:21.760 Yeah.

00:42:22.080 But the choice of words was clumsy and regrets having used this reference,

00:42:25.840 but added that he rejects the characterisation of his speech by the Conservatives.

00:42:29.360 Because Kemi Badenot can actually come out and give him a bit of a do, because she was right as well.

00:42:33.920 She says he starts from a position of self-loathing, where Britain is always wrong and everyone else

00:42:39.520 is always right. Our sovereignty is being eroded by out-of-date treaties and courts acting outside

00:42:44.240 of their jurisdiction. Pointing this out does not make anyone a Nazi.

00:42:47.840 Obviously correct. And so he just comes out and goes, well, I reject the characterisation of my speeches,

00:42:53.920 and so I do think you are an arty. But I should have been more deft about calling you that,

00:43:00.320 which is just awful. And yet this guy's the Attorney General, good mates with Starmer.

00:43:04.400 I'm kind of surprised so far that the Conservatives and Badenot haven't tried to bring him to the foot of the House,

00:43:13.120 so that they can actually question him and challenge him about various things. Because

00:43:16.880 he is making a slur about people in the House, and surely there are rules where one member of the House is

00:43:22.880 making these claims against another member of the House, that this is so severe that he should be

00:43:27.760 called to the bar. You would think.

00:43:29.200 And I don't understand why they're not doing that, to be honest.

00:43:32.160 Well, the Conservatives are incompetent and pathetic as well. Anyway, so just for anyone who wants to know,

00:43:38.560 Herma is the chap who signed off on Lucy Connolly being arrested and jailed for 31 months.

00:43:44.160 The Telegraph have done a good article here, pointing out that he declined to review the

00:43:49.920 unduly lenient sentences given to actual criminals. For example, a rapist, a paedophile,

00:43:55.760 and a terrorist's fundraiser. All three of these particular criminals were presented to him,

00:44:00.240 and he decided not to review them, despite them being given softer sentences than Connolly.

00:44:05.360 The criminals themselves, there was Ben Churcher from Wiltshire, who was given 28 months in prison for

00:44:11.840 raping a woman in her home. Jamie Daniels from Droitwich, who spared jail after pleading guilty

00:44:17.760 to attempting to incite a 13-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity. He was given 21 months

00:44:23.280 in prison, suspended for two years. Suspended. Suspended, yeah. And for some reason we're so

00:44:28.960 unbelievably lax on this. And I guess the excuse they'll make is prison space. You could let out

00:44:34.320 people for thought crimes, put the actual criminals in. And then you've got Farad Mohammed from Essex,

00:44:40.640 who sent money to his nephew in Syria, knowing it was to fund terrorist activity, who also avoided prison

00:44:45.120 time. Got a three-year community order in October. But Lucy Connolly, she's definitely

00:44:50.480 staying in there for the full 31 months, according to Lord Hermer, which is very interesting. He

00:44:55.760 personally approved her prosecution as well, despite having the constitutional power to prevent it. He

00:45:00.960 also made sure it was Tommy Robinson who went to jail. The Attorney General's office, led as they

00:45:07.600 point out by Hermer, following the general election in July, lodged a new application for

00:45:12.160 contempt of court proceedings in the High Court against Tommy Robinson. So they could have just

00:45:17.520 let this go. They could have said, well, you know, this has already been settled. But no,

00:45:21.840 instead they decided that he was to spend some of nine months in jail, in solitary. And so there is,

00:45:28.480 at this point, a lot of pressure on Starmer to sack him. It's not going to happen.

00:45:33.440 No. Starmer's going to keep him, because there's just nothing to be gained for Starmer at this point.

00:45:38.800 No. He's not going to win back his reputation. He's not going to improve any alliances. He'll

00:45:44.720 just see it as him betraying a good friend who agrees with everything that he thinks. That's right.

00:45:49.760 Hermer's family also came as refugees. Yes, they did. And you can see why Starmer wants

00:45:56.400 to protect him. Because the minute one sacking happens, all of the others have to proceed.

00:46:04.640 Why is Ed Miliband still here? Why is Ed Miliband? Why is Reeves still here? Et cetera, et cetera. So

00:46:10.400 because this is such a clown show across the board of a government, because this is so destructive,

00:46:16.160 because they have nobody of substance, it's more important for them to band together. The minute

00:46:21.920 the cracks begin to show, it all falls apart. And you can see that Starmer is panicked. I don't know

00:46:27.440 if you noticed a couple of months ago, there was a bunch of appointments made of MPs to be trade

00:46:31.920 representatives. So an MP originally from Ghana was made trade representative to Ghana. An MP who

00:46:39.680 was originally Nigerian trade representative. And this was very obviously Starmer exercising his DEI

00:46:47.440 agenda in order to keep laughably incompetent backbenchers happy by giving them financially

00:46:56.720 rewarding and important jobs. So each of these, and I think they were all females, went on a jolly to

00:47:03.280 her home country to sort of have a bunch of meetings and explain how this was going to be in the best

00:47:09.040 interest of Britain. So there's a pattern there where Starmer is clearly terrified of people like Wes

00:47:16.560 Steering who are, if you remember his street, where he was making a big speech, explaining how he will

00:47:27.760 tackle Faraj two or three months ago. And this was this gentleman presenting himself as a potential future

00:47:37.520 prime minister. So Starmer barely has a lid on the Labour Party. And the big terror for the Labour Party is that

00:47:45.280 they will end up exactly where the Conservatives ended. And you raise an important point about

00:47:50.160 politics. I mean, I saw it, you know, when you've got Liz Truss and Kwaseng. No, they had, they went

00:47:57.680 for him straight away, because they were the same sort of scenario here. Exactly. Very good friends.

00:48:02.720 Yeah. And Liz Truss's big mistake was letting go. Yes. She should have turned around and said,

00:48:07.040 no, he's staying. He's doing a great job. And if she'd done that, she would have held the court for a

00:48:11.680 little bit longer. Yes. But Boris was the same. He was holding on to people that he could as long as

00:48:16.320 possible, as they tried to pick off all the Brexiteers who were supporters around him. And

00:48:21.120 rather than the opposition taking him out, his own internal team decided to take him out by resigning

00:48:26.560 en masse, because he was standing strong to that. So there's a very, very good principle in place.

00:48:31.840 It buys you time, gives you the opportunity to hope something else comes up. You hope this Ferrari

00:48:37.440 goes down and somebody else that you might not like, then raises their head and then you can

00:48:42.560 give them the sacrificial lamb that is needed at some stage. But the moment you cut one,

00:48:47.840 everybody else becomes open season to go for the next. Yes. And they know that's when it starts

00:48:52.320 becoming a big issue. Yes. I think you're absolutely right on that. So yeah, exactly. I don't think he's

00:48:57.280 going anywhere. So for at least the next four years, basically, we're going to be governed by a cabal of

00:49:02.720 our enemies, proving Robert Conquest correct. Sigil Stone says, I read that Herma's next move

00:49:09.120 is to advocate for the reparations for the Vikings, for the right to pillage being violated by Alfred.

00:49:14.800 I'm shocked that he hasn't already done this.

00:49:21.520 That's a cracker. There's always one great one.

00:49:23.840 They've got human rights just like everyone else.

00:49:25.760 Yeah. Anyway, let's move on.

00:49:29.600 Okay. So the way that wisdom is passed on among the educated elites is through heavy tomes and big

00:49:37.920 books and philosophy courses and things like that. And if you want to partake in that, you should

00:49:42.640 definitely sign up for the trivia. However, for the rest of us, for us ignoramuses, wisdom is passed on

00:49:50.320 through two forms, proverbs and fairy tales. And fairy tales are extremely important because they

00:49:57.120 form the minds of the young and they help them set correct expectations for life. Fairy tales are

00:50:03.920 fantastic because they are ridiculously based. And I'm of the view that Little Red Riding Hood

00:50:11.680 is actually a philosophy book disguised as a children's tale that is intended to explain to you

00:50:19.120 how do you deal with degeneracy and why is degeneracy bad?

00:50:23.520 Okay.

00:50:23.600 Let's explain.

00:50:24.240 Oh, I've got to go for this.

00:50:25.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:26.000 You know, it's being called the big bad wolf and I need to know.

00:50:28.320 This is the big bad wolf.

00:50:29.600 Yeah.

00:50:30.160 So let's sort of see how it starts. Little Red Riding Hood is loved by everybody.

00:50:34.640 Her grandma absolutely adores her. Her parents take good care of her. They give her everything that

00:50:39.680 she needs. She's a happy child. She's well taken care of. Society functions as it should.

00:50:45.280 And the father is a woodsman. In some versions, a huntsman. And this is important because this

00:50:51.280 is a man who passes between the settled village life of the civilized urban people and the savage

00:51:00.240 life of somebody who was in the woods. So he's capable of acting both in a highly civilized context,

00:51:06.800 but also in conflict and in war and in taming nature. This is the setting. Little Red Riding Hood

00:51:15.360 then goes off to take care of her grandmother and deliver some things to her. Bread and wine are

00:51:22.880 the traditional items. They're very Christian, very symbolic. And on the way, she meets the big bad wolf.

00:51:30.400 The wolf is dressed very well. His looks are very deceptive.

00:51:36.400 And Little Red Riding Hood is absolutely innocent. It is literally the innocence of children.

00:51:41.360 Is it just me though, Karl? But isn't he dressed exactly like Faraj?

00:51:44.480 Faraj. I love that slide.

00:51:47.120 I mean, look at that green jack in there and the way that he's holding his hands up there.

00:51:51.840 Faraj doesn't tend to wear a waistcoat. That's the only...

00:51:54.240 Oh no, that's his...

00:51:56.000 If you look closely, there's a fork and knife sitting in his pocket.

00:52:02.000 Oh, I missed that one.

00:52:04.960 So this is an innocent child. She doesn't know. She's never seen a wolf before. She doesn't know

00:52:09.680 what it is. She just thinks that this is a large dog. So she engages with him in conversation. And

00:52:14.880 there's a lesson there. Don't even interact with evil. Don't even entertain it. Stop it from the

00:52:22.720 beginning. The story continues, of course, and you know how it goes. Where are you going? I'm going to

00:52:30.240 my grandmother's house. What does that mean? It's tradition. The house stands under three oak trees.

00:52:36.240 So it represents the past. It represents the eternal. It represents the little cottage in

00:52:41.760 the middle of the woods, the basic, the bud of civilization, the grain of civilization. That's what

00:52:47.840 it is. It's not in a town. It's not fully civilized. She's not living in a tent or a cave either.

00:52:54.880 It's a house in the woods under the shadow of tradition, three giant oak trees.

00:53:00.400 And also because it's the grandchild and the grandmother, we've got the linkage between

00:53:05.200 generations. Precisely.

00:53:06.480 This is the tradition that moves through time and space.

00:53:09.120 Precisely. And you are walking on the path between modernity and tradition

00:53:14.160 back and forth all the time. And the trick is to stay on the right path.

00:53:18.560 And what does the wolf think? Well, I could eat both the grandmother and the child.

00:53:25.360 So how am I going to do this? I will tempt the child. You should enjoy yourself. You should walk

00:53:32.240 around in the woods. You should explore. You shouldn't stay on the straight and narrow path.

00:53:37.520 That's for wimps and weaklings. You should express your strong identity. You should be yourself and

00:53:45.200 celebrate yourself as a young woman. Go and pick flowers and play in the sunlight and have a good

00:53:49.760 time. Yeah.

00:53:50.880 So this is the temptation of the wolf or the serpent, essentially.

00:53:55.600 Yeah. I can see that the tree of life, the serpent's now giving the idea, eat the apple.

00:54:00.480 Exactly.

00:54:01.040 Eat the apple.

00:54:01.440 Exactly.

00:54:02.160 Go and have a go.

00:54:03.040 Exactly. Go for temptation. Enjoy the temptation. Have fun.

00:54:06.480 What could possibly go wrong?

00:54:07.920 What could possibly go wrong?

00:54:09.680 Have the pill. Take the pill.

00:54:12.560 And so Little Red Riding Hood does this and she goes off the path and she's going around

00:54:18.480 picking flowers, having fun, enjoying the sunlight. This is a comment on the nature of

00:54:24.000 degeneracy. Listen to this sentence. It's beautiful.

00:54:26.800 When she had gathered so many flowers that her arms were full, she began to think again of her

00:54:33.840 grandmother, tradition, lying ill in bed, how to save society. So you have to think here of these

00:54:43.280 God help them, these women who are going around exploring how many men they can bed in a single day.

00:54:50.000 This comment is absolutely beautiful. When she'd gathered so many flowers that her arms were full,

00:54:57.040 when she's basically explored the limits of degeneracy, when she's gone to the furthest extremes and still

00:55:04.960 found no satisfaction because flowers by their nature when you pick them are dead things and they

00:55:12.240 will always fail to satisfy you. What did she think? Her grandmother and her grandmother being sick.

00:55:20.400 And how do I get back to the path?

00:55:22.000 Interesting on a sort of slightly more grounded level is the self-interestedness of this. You're

00:55:27.840 meant to be taking something to your grandmother because she's ill. She can't get it for herself.

00:55:32.400 But instead you've been indulging yourself in a very selfish way.

00:55:36.720 Exactly. Exactly. She returned to the path and went on her way.

00:55:41.920 So she tried to put the whole past behind her.

00:55:44.480 This is a redemption element.

00:55:45.760 Exactly.

00:55:46.240 Like the redemption movie. I used to be a drug addict. Now I've been able to go out and

00:55:49.760 I'm going to kill the drug addicts. Precisely. Precisely.

00:55:52.080 Sorry, drug dealers.

00:55:53.520 This is her trying to save herself from her past. The online right likes to comment on the

00:56:01.280 slut to trad wife chain. That's actually what it's expressing, but in a way that is fit for children.

00:56:09.600 The issue is what happens in the interceding time, right? Because if I recall the story of Little Red

00:56:18.160 Riding Hood well, the time she spends not traveling to her grandmother's house allows something terrible

00:56:24.000 to happen to the grandmother. Precisely. Precisely. And so by the time she gets to her grandmother's

00:56:30.080 house, the grandmother is gone. She's already been eaten by the wolf. The wolf is dressed up in the

00:56:36.000 clothing of tradition. He's trying to tell you what your own country's tradition is. This is the same

00:56:41.760 as saying Britain was always diverse. Yes. This is the same as saying it was always such. What are you

00:56:47.760 talking about? Nothing has changed. Britain was built by diversity with her. Britain was built by

00:56:51.840 diversity. That's the wolf dressed up as the grandmother telling you what you're meant to think

00:56:58.080 and lying to you about tradition. And then you start to notice what are these big eyes? What are these big

00:57:03.360 ears? What's this big mouth? Well, I'm going to eat you now. By the time you notice, it's too late.

00:57:10.960 By the time you notice, it's too late. You should always... This is why prejudice is actually a virtue.

00:57:16.720 This is why prejudice is a virtue. I agree.

00:57:19.040 Because prejudice allows you to think, well, people in the past have tried this. Yes.

00:57:24.080 And it's led them on a one-way road to hell. So I'm actually, for my next Islander article,

00:57:30.000 I've actually written about this. Because I think Burke makes a really persuasive defense

00:57:34.000 of prejudice, actually. Saying, look, this is the iterative trial and error of centuries.

00:57:39.360 That actually, you can't rationally explain why this is the case. But you realize there's

00:57:43.760 probably something out of this. You're going to love the master.

00:57:46.560 Well, yeah. You're going to love the master.

00:57:48.000 Yeah. So we see that by the time you've decided to experiment with things on your own and try to do

00:57:57.040 things your own way, the wolf's stolen your grandmother's clothes and is pretending to be

00:58:02.000 your grandmother. And then the wolf gets lazy. He's consumed the past. He's consumed the future.

00:58:07.600 He's snoring so loudly that the chimney begins to shake. And that's when men notice.

00:58:13.680 When evil has become so comfortable and so entrenched, that only then does the woodsman come in.

00:58:22.320 He's heard an awful noise coming from the house of grandmother. He wonders what it is. He goes in

00:58:29.360 and he finds the wolf there. And the man says, I'm going to kill you straight away. Even worse,

00:58:36.720 you wicked creature. I have long wanted to get my hands on you. Sorry, I have these committed to memory

00:58:42.080 practice. I've read them that many times. And he swings his axe and he kills the wolf straight away.

00:58:48.560 He thinks he's saving tradition. He's doing this to save grandmother. He's literally trad. That's what

00:58:55.280 he is. But by killing the wolf, what he saves first is actually Little Red Riding Hood. And then the trad

00:59:03.120 man who is between civilization and the wilderness and is therefore capable of extreme violence when

00:59:10.880 necessary and capable of being a civilized man when necessary, he saves his daughter and together

00:59:17.760 they try to take care of grandmother and save tradition. And that's how tradition is actually saved.

00:59:23.040 So this is the beauty of it. And that's a strong message for saying that you can be good, you can be

00:59:30.640 kind, but you must always be able to use your hands and be violent when it's necessary to protect the

00:59:36.240 interests of you, your family and those around you. The harmless man is harmful. The harmless man is a

00:59:42.320 destructive force. That's what it is. And then Little Red Riding Hood goes back on the path and promises her

00:59:49.920 mother. As long as I live, I shall never again leave the forest path when you have warned me not to do

00:59:56.240 so. And that's a very Christian line. And that's a very Christian line. Very Christian line. Very,

01:00:00.640 very thoroughly Christian line. Stay on the right path. Yeah. Instead of let's experiment with this,

01:00:06.800 let's try that, et cetera, et cetera. But you know where it ends up. You end up in the wolf's belly.

01:00:11.200 You end up in the wolf's belly. And violence is required to extract you from it. And only violence can

01:00:16.320 save you from the wolf's belly. And this is something that you want to keep in mind in terms

01:00:21.680 of analyzing the world that you see around you today. You know, that it's things have got exactly

01:00:27.440 as we saw with the French riots. The level of tolerance to endless rioting is only going to end

01:00:34.800 when there is extreme violence used to terminate the rioting. But we have this philosophy. We understand

01:00:42.240 these in conceptual ideas. You talked about some of the philosophers we read. Those who go to Oxford

01:00:48.720 and Cambridge, the Sorbonne, you know, Harvard, Yale are reading those materials as well. Yes.

01:00:53.360 But they're taking a very different message from it. Their message is more of the tolerance because

01:00:57.920 they've already drifted off the path. They've always wanted to experiment with all the things

01:01:02.640 that don't work in life. We know that are bad. But and then they justify their actions to themselves.

01:01:08.080 And in doing so, they think everybody else should be able to do that as well. So the the purpose of

01:01:13.120 their philosophy is to allow you to live in the woods and pick the flowers forever. Exactly.

01:01:17.920 But that's not how a human life works. And this is this is something that a lot of millennials are

01:01:23.280 realizing is, oh, I'm getting older. And I don't have any of those things that lead me to grandmother's

01:01:27.600 house. Yes. I don't have a family. I don't have a wife. I don't have children. I don't have a plan

01:01:31.360 for the future. Yeah. And no, you don't. You were picking the flowers well into your late 30s, early

01:01:36.640 40s. Now what? Yeah. Yeah. What's your plan? And it's a very good message for men to turn around and

01:01:41.440 say, you know, don't do that. I mean, if you are to finish it very quickly, is what my grandmother used

01:01:45.600 to say. Go out, you know, go and enjoy yourself, but come back and deal with it very, very quickly and get

01:01:50.880 married younger. Get, you know, get a family, get a responsibility behind you, get out of the house,

01:01:56.320 do something. And if the women are not willing to stick along with you at that particular journey,

01:02:00.880 leave them. Yes. Then you get the sorts of women on the front page of the, what was it,

01:02:05.840 the Guardian and the Independent this week that had five women all in their late, late 40s and 50s

01:02:10.800 saying, I'm, I'm financially successful. I'm gorgeous and this, but there's no men out there for me.

01:02:16.160 You're in the woods. You didn't go to grandmother's house. What do you want?

01:02:18.720 Exactly. Well, that's right. Exactly. You made the choice. You listened to the wolf.

01:02:21.760 That was stupid, wasn't it? Yeah. And you've listened to the limited number of men that are

01:02:26.080 left capable for what you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they can pick and choose whoever they want.

01:02:30.000 And they can choose women 10 years younger than you, so get lost. Yeah. It's, it's, it's really

01:02:35.120 tragic what's been taught to the young generation. Oh yeah. So I wanted to pick on a couple of other

01:02:44.000 fairy tales that really focus on feminine virtue and how feminine virtue is different from male virtue.

01:02:50.240 Yeah. Beauty and the Beast. Classic. Everybody knows it. Everybody loves it.

01:02:55.680 The youngest daughter was the prettiest, but she was, when her father faced misfortune

01:03:02.160 and lost all of his money, she was absolutely pleasant about it. She decided that she was going

01:03:07.760 to take care of the little house in the country, even though they didn't have the city and the big

01:03:11.280 parties and the fun that they used to have. She's going to cook. She's going to clean. She's going to take

01:03:16.160 full responsibility for all of the feminine chores in the house, even though her sisters refused to do

01:03:22.480 it. So she took the burden on herself. She picked up her cross. Yeah. That was her cross. She decided

01:03:28.400 to carry it. She decided to do what was required of her. The merchant goes off on business. He gets lost.

01:03:33.600 He finds himself in a palace. He doesn't know anything about the palace, but it's clear that the person who

01:03:38.880 controls the palace is extremely capable. First, he has a palace. Second, the man walks in and he

01:03:44.720 finds a full dinner. Then he wants to go to bed and he finds a perfectly set and very tidy bedroom.

01:03:50.160 So there's someone there who knows what he's doing, except that this someone is literally a beast.

01:03:56.640 The father tries to go and pick a white rose because that's what his daughter had asked him for.

01:04:01.920 Beauty, the youngest, asked for a white rose. The other two asked for pearls and diamonds.

01:04:06.640 They wanted extravagance. Jesus wanted a white rose. That's more likely to get what they asked for.

01:04:10.880 Yeah. And just a quick side, this is a lesson I learned when I was a kid, right? So every year I'd be

01:04:17.760 like, Dad, can I get a Transformers toy or whatever? And my sister would be like, can I get a pony?

01:04:22.000 Well, who got what they wanted? I learned this very early in life. Irreasonable.

01:04:28.640 You woke up in the morning and you heard hooves and your sister's sword next door. That would have

01:04:35.280 been a shock. I was pretty convinced it was never going to happen.

01:04:42.800 So this guy is literally a beast. He finds the merchant trying to pick just one rose and

01:04:47.440 he decides that he's going to kill him there and then. And the only thing that saves him is the law

01:04:53.200 of surprise. The first thing that you encounter when you get back home, you have to give it to me.

01:04:57.280 If it's the dog, I'll take it. But if it's your daughter, I'll also take her.

01:05:00.960 Yeah. And it turns out to be exactly his daughter.

01:05:05.360 But, and this is really the clincher here, Beauty insisted that once a promise was made,

01:05:11.440 it should be kept. Her father didn't want to take her to the beast, obviously.

01:05:16.560 Yeah, obviously. But she insists that no promises must be kept, commitments must be seen through.

01:05:23.600 You don't get to quit halfway, even if you've committed to something inconvenient.

01:05:28.320 And, and, and this is the essence of feminine virtue, commitment.

01:05:33.360 And it's emphasized here in an absolutely staggering way. And then she gets to know Beast and she gets

01:05:39.280 to love him and so on, but she refuses to marry him because he's a beast. He's hideous. The story

01:05:45.280 goes on and on. And, and I won't bore you with all of the details, but then she also follows through

01:05:52.320 with her commitment one more time after having flaked for a little while, for a good reason,

01:05:57.440 to take care of her father. Yeah.

01:05:58.960 Because she has different priorities and she's trying to satisfy them both. So fair to her.

01:06:03.520 But then she goes and finds the beast and he's dying. And she says, all right, I will marry you.

01:06:08.640 And there is no beast anymore. It's a prince. So feminine faithfulness, feminine ability to give,

01:06:17.520 literally transforms a beast to a prince. And you see the same theme expressed in The Princess and the Frog.

01:06:24.480 You see the same theme in memes that go around of the, the wild young man with a, you know,

01:06:30.160 a woman and just over time, how he becomes much more civilized. Yes.

01:06:34.560 And this is definitely true. I think that's the point about the responsibility.

01:06:37.440 Yes. We can be wild. We want to go off and do, you know,

01:06:40.400 sow your oats when you're younger because maybe genetically that's what we're supposed to do.

01:06:44.160 Yep. You want to go wild with the lads because, you know,

01:06:46.240 we used to go out and fight and kill people. And now we just went to the pub,

01:06:48.880 but perhaps you do an odd riot in Paris every now and again, you know,

01:06:52.160 just on a casual Saturday afternoon. But then as you meet the right woman and they teach you,

01:06:57.920 they're teaching you about responsibility and what happens with children. But that also should be

01:07:03.280 taught to you from your parents as well. And it's clear in this case where the beauty and the beast,

01:07:08.960 the beauty is also being given that education from her father about responsibility. The importance

01:07:15.040 of having a family and that long line of telling you what you should or shouldn't do and why you should

01:07:19.840 also listen to your parents most of the time, not all the time.

01:07:22.400 Yep. No, but you're absolutely right. This is, this is a great, uh, example of how a feminine

01:07:28.160 virtue can create the world that she wants. Yes. Because women, of course, view their husbands

01:07:33.520 as a project. Yes. Take the, take the bins out tonight. Uh, she, she, she wants you to become a

01:07:41.840 different kind of man. Yes. She meets you. Whereas men are the other way. You never want your wife to change.

01:07:46.560 Uh, that's, that's pretty true. It's totally true. And that's true. And so it's very interesting how

01:07:51.840 that's the case. Yep. Yep. And then another little piece on, on female virtue. This is the

01:07:58.720 wolf and the seven little kids. The story is about, so this sort of the, the first couple of lines in

01:08:04.720 this explain the nature of tyranny. There's a goat. She takes care of her kids. Her one fear is that the

01:08:12.800 wolf might catch them. She isn't safe. There are wolves prowling around. There are wolves

01:08:18.560 prowling around. That means that there aren't men killing wolves. That's, that's the hidden

01:08:22.640 implication here. And she has to. Why are there wolves prowling around? Exactly. Why are there

01:08:28.000 migrants running around the street spitting on women at the moment? Yes. Why, why, where are there

01:08:32.560 rape gangs? Where are the men killing the wolves? Exactly. Exactly. So she finds herself in this,

01:08:38.320 in this dilemma. What is she going to do about it? Well, let's see how the wolf succeeds first.

01:08:45.680 She explains to her kids that look, the, the, the wolf's voice is different from mine and his

01:08:51.680 appearance is different. So don't trust whatever you hear. And so the wolf tries to change. He

01:08:57.040 firstly swallows chalk so that he gets a softer voice. Don't try this at home.

01:09:01.280 No. Um, then he goes to the baker and the baker is afraid and he helps the wolf knowingly and he

01:09:09.040 goes and he gets. Wow. That sounds a lot like a government or two I can think of. There you go.

01:09:13.840 Jesus Christ. There you go. And then he goes to the miller and the miller says the wolf wants to

01:09:20.960 deceive someone. So he refused to help him. And then the wolf said, if you don't help me, I'm going to eat

01:09:26.720 you. And the miller complies. I mean, that's just, I'm just hearing Sir Lindsay Hoyle saying,

01:09:32.400 I just don't want anyone else getting stabbed. Exactly. That's all I'm hearing from this.

01:09:36.160 Exactly. Exactly. These are cowards who are in power and the cowards who are in power empower wolves.

01:09:43.760 That's what they're doing. It's very obvious. It's going back to Paris. Yeah. You know,

01:09:48.240 we've got Macron in power and we're empowering those to go out across the streets and just destroy

01:09:53.920 Paris. Exactly. Exactly. Because I'm too afraid. Because they're too afraid. Because they won't

01:09:58.480 let the men deal with the wolves. Because they won't allow the men to deal with the wolves and

01:10:02.240 the men allow themselves to be turned into sheep instead. So the wolf manages to get in. He eats

01:10:10.560 six out of the seven kids and then the mother and the last surviving kid, they go around and they see

01:10:18.560 the wolf. And again, the nature of evil. It's complacent. He's asleep. He's snoring under the

01:10:24.400 tree so loudly that the tree is shaking. It's complete complacency. Just as we see with Keir

01:10:30.400 Starmer tolerating the incompetence of his own government. That's what we're seeing here.

01:10:35.200 And so what does she do? She doesn't confront the wolf head on. She sends the kid back home to get

01:10:42.240 scissors and thread. And then she slowly cuts open the wolf's belly while he's still asleep

01:10:50.160 and saves all of her kids and stuffs his belly with rocks. And then the wolf goes to get a drink

01:10:58.240 of water and he falls in the well and he dies. And good is celebrated by everybody around them. The wolf

01:11:08.320 is dead. No longer did the mother goat need to be afraid to leave her kids alone when she went to

01:11:13.840 the forest. It's not good, though, that she has to do via subversion. But that's the only option left

01:11:20.080 open. Her only option. Well, it is once tyranny has taken control. And as we're finding now,

01:11:24.960 as our freedom of speech is being removed, then you've got to try and find ways you have to box clever

01:11:31.120 to be able to get around those particular rules. And they're becoming now more narrow

01:11:34.960 each day. Exactly. So by us having to, in a way, subvert our own natural instincts of being fair

01:11:41.520 and good and kind, we actually have to find ways around it. And that's what we've done in new media

01:11:47.280 that we're doing now. We've had to subvert the classic mainstream media who are holding on the

01:11:52.240 message that evil is fine as long as you ignore it, but we'll enable it and you keep quiet and just

01:11:57.600 accept it. Yep. And it's permanent. You know, you're constantly terrified of being banned.

01:12:03.360 You're constantly terrified of being demonetized. You're constantly terrified of being canceled.

01:12:07.040 Yep. They're always trying to find a way to get you over anything. And that's the nature of tyranny.

01:12:12.960 Yep. You can't leave vulnerable things on their own and know that they'll be safe.

01:12:18.880 I'm just waiting for the moment, I hope, when we get actually some form of tyranny,

01:12:21.840 actually a moment of sleep, so we can go and indeed cut it open and release freedom and decency.

01:12:28.080 Maybe. It's the belly of that. Alternatively, there is always the axe.

01:12:32.800 You know? But this is, the beauty of these stories, I went a bit berserk and I literally

01:12:41.600 bought 200 of the little, 200 of these Lady Bird fairy tales. Yeah.

01:12:48.080 Because I thought they're going to get banned one day. Why not have my own collection at home?

01:12:52.000 Well, I do have a few of them. I was looking at one of them going, I recognize that, to be honest,

01:12:55.520 for my daughter. And then you look at the art itself. Each of these scenes is beautiful. Each of these

01:13:01.280 paintings is actually gorgeous. And then you look at something garbage like Peppa Pig.

01:13:07.840 And everything is copy pasted.

01:13:10.080 It's ugly. The messages are stupid. Be polite. And you can become a doctor. And what does the doctor

01:13:16.160 in Peppa Pig do? She flies in her doctor's airplane and she turns over a lizard that had gotten stuck on

01:13:25.520 her back. That's the extent, like email drops for everyone. That's what it is. Meaninglessness for

01:13:32.320 everyone. Enjoy it. I've pushed Peppa Pig out of my memory a long time ago.

01:13:37.360 Oh man, no.

01:13:38.880 We were tortured as parents. Tortured as parents with that.

01:13:43.280 I've banned it from the house. It's not allowed anymore.

01:13:45.520 My wife despises Peppa Pig.

01:13:47.440 I'm actually fairly ambivalent towards it because I've never really watched it.

01:13:49.920 You should hate it with a passion.

01:13:51.600 Yeah.

01:13:51.920 You should hate it with a passion.

01:13:53.520 My wife does.

01:13:54.080 It's uncreative. It's demeaning. It lowers your intellect. It makes you dumber.

01:13:59.680 You've been forced never to go to Peppa Pig World.

01:14:01.760 No, no. I have actually been to Peppa Pig World, actually. Unfortunately.

01:14:05.520 My children don't know that it exists.

01:14:08.320 And I'm keeping it that way. And if any of you spills the beans...

01:14:12.480 We'll just call it the Big Bad Wolf World. Big Bad Wolf World.

01:14:15.040 Very good. Very good.

01:14:16.560 You don't want to go there.

01:14:17.280 But this is the heritage of these fairy tales. These are the lessons behind them.

01:14:23.360 They're eternal stories of wisdom. They teach you something eternal.

01:14:29.120 And the genius of them is that they are coded for every age.

01:14:34.320 They're coded for every age. You read them as a child. You learn, I'm going to stick to the path.

01:14:40.320 You learn how to deal with wolves. You read them as an adult.

01:14:43.280 You explain why you understand why they were read to you in the first place.

01:14:47.920 So there's something there. And replacing them with this garbage is just purely destructive.

01:14:53.440 It's the perennial issue of stripping away a plan for your life.

01:15:00.240 Yeah.

01:15:00.560 Because this is something I've really realized that young people just have not...

01:15:06.480 They don't... And it was even in my day when I was young. There was never think about what's

01:15:11.040 going to happen later on in your life. Think about where you're going, where you're going to end up.

01:15:14.960 And this attitude of the here and now is the only thing that is important.

01:15:19.840 Yes.

01:15:20.080 So just think about it now. That's it. Just go play in the woods and collect flowers.

01:15:25.040 The point of the fairy tales is telling you, no, there is every life is a story.

01:15:30.000 Yes.

01:15:30.560 And you're going to get to the conclusion of the story at some point. So which conclusion do you want it to be?

01:15:34.320 The first impression that I had when I got to Britain and started socializing with people

01:15:40.240 was the number of people considerably older than I was at the time in the 30s and 40s

01:15:46.320 who lived with the only objective of remaining 21 forever.

01:15:51.200 Yeah. Precisely.

01:15:53.360 Who wanted to just enjoy the things that were... And I admit, I indulged in some of that as well.

01:15:58.240 I didn't live as good a life as I could have.

01:16:00.320 It took me a long time to fall out of that.

01:16:02.320 I'm the same. I lived in London. I worked in London. I had to leave London to actually become myself again.

01:16:07.520 Yep.

01:16:08.160 To understand that there is not the hedonism and the Sodom and Gomorrah of London and what it's all about.

01:16:14.000 It can be very positive if you're looking at the cultural aspects about it that are still there,

01:16:18.800 going to the museums. But that's not what London... That's not why most people are in London.

01:16:22.560 No.

01:16:22.880 It's to be narcissistic.

01:16:24.240 It's like Pleasure Island in Pinocchio.

01:16:26.320 Yeah.

01:16:26.800 You can see it's the sort of thing that turns you into a jackass.

01:16:29.280 Yes.

01:16:29.680 Yeah.

01:16:29.840 That's the point of it.

01:16:30.640 Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

01:16:34.000 So, fairy tales.

01:16:35.520 Yeah.

01:16:36.480 I'm going to have to start rereading some of them as well.

01:16:38.320 Fairy tales are based. Don't ever forget that. Read them to your children.

01:16:42.960 The thing is, it is actually totally true. And I was just, when you mentioned it, I was thinking,

01:16:48.240 yeah, there's a reason that, you know, don't cry wolf is something that persists in the culture.

01:16:53.120 It's a really important thing. Don't lie to people. Exactly.

01:16:56.240 It matters. All of these things genuinely...

01:16:58.960 Kid Piper of Hamelin.

01:16:59.840 Yeah.

01:17:00.720 Don't deceive. Don't lie. You will sell your future. You will destroy yourself if you do it.

01:17:04.720 Exactly.

01:17:04.960 Now we're going to have to have a quiz, which is our favorite, you know, little story tale,

01:17:08.640 to be honest. You know, is that Hans Christian Andersen one? Are we all going Germanic?

01:17:15.760 Anyway, let's get to the video comments.

01:17:18.240 Yeah, brilliant.

01:17:19.760 I tested this, and unfortunately, you can't build a tax prison, whereby you lure immigrants into your

01:17:25.440 city with low taxation, then suddenly pump the tax rate to 25, and prevent them from leaving with a

01:17:31.680 double layer thick perimeter of solid stone. It turns out the desire to emigrate is so strong that

01:17:37.600 people simply phase through walls, reinforcing the theory that even lower on Maslow's hierarchy of

01:17:43.600 needs is the physiological requirement for a human being to evade taxation.

01:17:52.320 For anyone who doesn't know who that is, that's Seth Zench.

01:17:57.440 Is a YouTuber, and he makes very amusing videos about video games.

01:18:01.440 From a based perspective.

01:18:03.040 Yeah, that's good.

01:18:04.000 Let's go to the next one.

01:18:05.840 One of the underlying themes in the Harry Potter franchise is not trusting corporate news.

01:18:10.480 Heck, one of the major plot points in the fifth book was the government conspiring with the

01:18:14.240 mainstream media to push several false narratives and demonize truth-tellers,

01:18:18.560 and then manipulating academia to make the youth unable to defend themselves.

01:18:22.880 The fact that progressives can't see these obvious themes just goes to show how far gone they

01:18:27.760 really are. Only reason the false narratives in Harry Potter collapsed was there was a legit

01:18:31.920 attack in their halls of government. Don't get any funny ideas now.

01:18:34.960 See, I'm too old for Harry Potter, right? Never read it. I've never watched any of the movies.

01:18:42.160 I know about it through cultural osmosis, because fortunately, you know, I'm not a millennial.

01:18:46.560 It wasn't around when I was a kid. I never read it, right?

01:18:49.360 But everything I hear about it just makes it sound really based.

01:18:53.520 Some parts of it are really traditional and reactionary.

01:18:56.800 Yeah.

01:18:57.440 And so, you know, J.K. Rowling still being a shitlib on everything other than gender.

01:19:02.560 Disappointing, Miss Rowling.

01:19:04.640 Anyway, I might have to give him a read at some point, just seeing what...

01:19:08.320 Well, I've had to watch all the movies, and then they come out, and what's interesting,

01:19:12.400 my daughter doesn't like all the prequels where, you know, Harry Potter, fine, like them,

01:19:17.520 but where they've got these others where they're creating creatures in different films,

01:19:21.120 other people who are not in the original, she's saying, that's no good.

01:19:23.760 And she's saying, that's not just me. It's all the other kids. They like the originals.

01:19:27.600 Right.

01:19:27.840 They don't like the spin-offs and the recreations.

01:19:29.760 Who wrote the spin-offs and recreations? Was it Rowling?

01:19:31.920 It was Rowling, but in creating, I can't remember the names of them now.

01:19:36.320 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:36.480 The audience will probably remember them.

01:19:37.920 Yeah, I'll have to give them a read at some point. Let's go to the next one.

01:19:44.480 And just when you thought Britain was leading the way in political retardation,

01:19:49.920 the Democrats say, hold my shard in hay.

01:19:54.000 Democrats desperately need to win back young men, but how?

01:19:58.480 Do they go with David Hogg, the twink? Do they go with Tim Noballs, the raging incompetent?

01:20:04.880 Or even Cory Booker, the senator who's taken more balls to the chin than a footballer?

01:20:11.440 No, they pick an obese lesbian. At this point, the Babylon Bee will have to shut down,

01:20:17.920 because the Democrats are the biggest satire.

01:20:21.120 This is genuinely something I've been following, is the Democrats' attempt to, like, how is it we can win back our primary opponent and greatest enemy?

01:20:31.920 We've been villainizing men for a decade now.

01:20:34.400 Yeah.

01:20:34.800 And men have suddenly woken up and go, yeah, maybe I'm not for the Democrats, maybe I'm for Trump.

01:20:38.240 And watching them trying to figure out what they can do is really, really funny, because...

01:20:42.960 Hilarious.

01:20:43.440 There's just no...

01:20:44.720 Well, do you think this kind of idea of taking some of the big YouTubers, like...

01:20:48.240 I mean, I don't really know much about the Tates or the case, but they really hate the Tates as brothers.

01:20:54.080 And they hate...

01:20:56.080 He's the other chap, the English guy that's just gone to magistrate's court two days ago.

01:21:02.640 Not sure who that is.

01:21:03.620 Used to be, like, a TV star, film star, movie star, long beard, and he became a Christian and has got a massive follow-up.

01:21:10.960 Oh, um...

01:21:12.580 I've forgotten his name.

01:21:13.600 Russell Brand.

01:21:14.180 Russell Brand.

01:21:14.820 Yeah.

01:21:15.100 Same sort of thing for things that he did 30 years ago.

01:21:18.020 Yeah.

01:21:18.340 Because he's seen as a big, big kind of guy for the...

01:21:21.220 To be fair, Russell Brand's audience is mostly women.

01:21:23.360 Oh, is it?

01:21:24.080 Oh, okay.

01:21:25.220 Andrew Tates, though, is obviously a majesty man.

01:21:26.940 Yeah.

01:21:27.420 But I just see them as taking them and wondering whether it's, like, that kind of their Me Too movement towards them.

01:21:32.540 And then we can cleanse ourselves by getting rid of these influence, and then we can put in Rory.

01:21:37.640 I think Tate is genuinely awful.

01:21:39.400 Yeah.

01:21:39.900 I think Tate is genuinely awful.

01:21:41.820 Even if he's right about a few things, he's a genuinely awful human being.

01:21:45.340 He's quite funny, though.

01:21:46.960 Fair enough.

01:21:48.360 He is quite funny.

01:21:49.260 Fair enough.

01:21:49.800 Fair enough.

01:21:51.240 Russell Brand.

01:21:51.940 And I don't know how...

01:21:54.800 Something that happened 30 years ago that came out now...

01:21:57.480 It's not even 30 years ago.

01:21:58.640 It's about 10, 15 years ago.

01:22:00.260 Is it?

01:22:00.520 Yeah.

01:22:01.100 But even then, like, the stories about Russell Brand probably have some legitimacy.

01:22:06.360 Like, yeah.

01:22:06.860 He was a drug-addled sex addict, so...

01:22:09.580 No, he definitely was that.

01:22:10.540 I mean, I remember seeing it in Soil House.

01:22:12.200 And I don't even dislike him personally, but, you know, it's probably something to it.

01:22:15.920 But, anyway, let's go on to the next one.

01:22:17.640 I made this video comment almost three whole years ago, but apparently because there's nothing new under the sun, pun intended, I'm going to have to update it.

01:22:25.220 Lord Harkin, Skyrim's Dawn Guard DLC, 2012.

01:22:28.040 Wants to blot out the sun.

01:22:29.060 Clearly the villain.

01:22:30.000 Mr Burns, The Simpsons, 1995.

01:22:32.160 Wants to blot out the sun.

01:22:33.220 Clearly the villain.

01:22:34.240 Light My Moon, My Little Pony, 2010.

01:22:36.380 Wants to blot out the sun.

01:22:37.400 Clearly the villain.

01:22:38.440 World Economic Forum, 2022.

01:22:40.260 Wants to blot out the sun.

01:22:41.260 Clearly the villain.

01:22:42.400 The British Government, 2025.

01:22:44.960 Yes.

01:22:48.200 I mean, we are literally run by our enemies.

01:22:50.720 I don't know how else to put it.

01:22:53.280 I mean, of all the countries in the world do this to as well.

01:22:56.380 Yeah, right.

01:22:57.620 Britain just gets...

01:22:58.700 How much sun do we get?

01:23:00.100 Well, I actually looked this up, right?

01:23:02.000 So we get, on average every year, in England, 1,300 out of something, I think it's 7,000 sunlight hours, potential hours.

01:23:10.000 That's all we get.

01:23:10.400 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:11.080 We get, like, of unfiltered sunlight.

01:23:13.780 Now, that's on...

01:23:15.460 The only places that get less than that are some parts of northern Russia.

01:23:19.740 And Alaska.

01:23:21.060 And they want to block out what's left of our 1,000 hours.

01:23:23.500 Yes.

01:23:24.180 Everywhere else on Earth gets more sun than we do.

01:23:27.860 And we're like, yeah, let's block out the sun and put up solar panels.

01:23:31.560 Like, good God, man.

01:23:33.360 Anyway, let's move to the next one.

01:23:35.960 And now a brief video commercial.

01:23:37.560 Well, here I'm taking the first part of the trivia and the foundations of writing.

01:23:43.800 Carl, I obviously was in school a lot earlier than you were because a lot of this stuff is stuff I remember from when I was a lot younger.

01:23:54.100 And then there's a lot of details that I've forgotten.

01:23:56.440 And so, hey, on foundations of writing, I'd say it's worth it.

01:24:01.740 Looking forward to logic and rhetoric.

01:24:04.500 Well done, him.

01:24:05.660 Yeah.

01:24:06.260 So I...

01:24:07.120 Instructive and non-resective relative clauses.

01:24:09.140 Oh, God, that saves me back.

01:24:10.400 I know, right?

01:24:11.060 But these are things we should all know properly.

01:24:13.660 Yeah.

01:24:14.220 And we don't.

01:24:15.300 And I'm...

01:24:16.120 Personally, I'm going to be going through the rhetoric one with a fine-toothed comb in the near future.

01:24:20.760 Because I just found that really fascinating, frankly.

01:24:23.620 Let's go to the next one.

01:24:26.060 Much noise is made about King Charles doing a land admission speech here in Canadian Parliament.

01:24:29.960 But few seem to understand what it actually means.

01:24:31.960 Under Trudeau, we passed Bill C-15, which renders the UN Charter on Indigenous Peoples sovereign above Canadian law,

01:24:38.280 compelling all Canadian law to be altered to adhere to it.

01:24:41.460 Even though it has no legally definable terms contained within it,

01:24:44.080 this contains, among other things, a prescription that natives must have full control over traditionally held lands,

01:24:48.700 which is, of course, claimed to be all of it.

01:24:50.060 So, regrettably, it seems we finally answered Cromwell's question as to if the king can be treasonous to himself and the crown.

01:24:56.260 Apparently he can, by denying his own sovereignty over his dominion.

01:25:02.380 That's insanity.

01:25:03.700 That's just...

01:25:04.280 It's just bonkers.

01:25:05.040 That was such an unnecessary humiliation ritual.

01:25:07.960 It really depressed me.

01:25:09.840 It really depressed me.

01:25:11.560 But, yeah, I mean, I guess he's following the tradition of kings called Charles, which is being...

01:25:16.060 Anyway...

01:25:18.060 Off with his head, not literally.

01:25:20.220 Well, yeah.

01:25:20.760 Anyone take that as a literal sentence?

01:25:22.520 Henry says,

01:25:23.140 The French immigrants riot because they're poor is such a weak argument.

01:25:28.760 Not least because rioting keeps a community poor, of course it does.

01:25:32.080 Money spent on repairing the damage, pay it to police, etc.

01:25:34.260 Could have been spent on other more productive things.

01:25:36.380 And I think it's obviously just not about that.

01:25:38.320 It's just obviously not about that.

01:25:39.980 This is about flexing a kind of cultural power over the native French.

01:25:45.200 That's what it's about.

01:25:46.040 Barron von Warhawk says,

01:25:47.820 Now Paris is learning the lessons that Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan, and Kuwait have all learned with blood and chaos.

01:25:53.200 If you let jihadists into your country, then they will destroy your civilization.

01:25:56.000 Thing is, a lot of these people won't even be jihadists, as we think.

01:25:59.120 Because jihadists are someone who's ideologically entrenched in Islamic doctrine.

01:26:04.280 What these people are are more tribals.

01:26:07.180 They're like, we are us.

01:26:08.620 I mean, I bet none of them have even read the Koran.

01:26:12.060 But they're like, no, we have the identity Muslim, we all agree on the identity Muslim, and you're not us.

01:26:16.800 So it's literally us versus you.

01:26:18.980 That's what it comes down to.

01:26:21.480 Arizona, yeah, it's so self-evident.

01:26:25.120 Arizona Desert Rat says,

01:26:26.340 The same kind of thing happens in Tuscan whenever the University of Arizona basketball team makes it to the national championship.

01:26:32.120 When I lose, there are riots along for them.

01:26:34.940 Sorry.

01:26:35.340 How many people die?

01:26:36.240 Henry says,

01:26:40.180 First the cricket match in Leicester, now the PSG win.

01:26:43.540 Are the knife-blunting crowd going to call for banning team sports next?

01:26:47.740 That's a good one, yeah.

01:26:49.040 That's a very good point.

01:26:50.180 That's a very good point, yeah.

01:26:51.840 It turns out it wasn't the knives after all.

01:26:55.200 OSAP says,

01:26:55.980 Is Paris secretly in American cities?

01:26:58.200 American cities also riot whenever there's a football game.

01:27:00.700 Win or lose, they riot whenever the police prevent crimes to.

01:27:04.060 Possibly.

01:27:04.500 I just don't see it.

01:27:06.660 I've never seen a massive riot over a football match.

01:27:09.180 It doesn't really happen here.

01:27:10.660 Even when it was like, you know, football hooligans,

01:27:13.400 there'd be like two gangs of hooligans having fights.

01:27:16.280 They're not going to burn your car.

01:27:17.740 No.

01:27:18.340 Like, you know, they'd be crazy.

01:27:20.060 They weren't going around looting either.

01:27:21.880 No, and they weren't just like targeting random people on the street.

01:27:24.340 Yeah, and smashing windows of two girls in it.

01:27:26.820 You'd actually have everyone coming back to the guys and going.

01:27:29.140 What the hell are you doing?

01:27:29.740 Yeah.

01:27:30.160 You know, if you're not wearing a football shirt, they don't care.

01:27:32.420 Yeah.

01:27:32.740 Why would they?

01:27:34.700 Anyway, Hector says,

01:27:37.200 Herma, I will defend all of Britain's enemies rather than let a single native Brit be free of terrorism.

01:27:42.460 Yeah, that seems to be the case, actually.

01:27:44.620 Mason says,

01:27:47.480 All of the useless MPs that Keir has in his cabinet,

01:27:49.640 yet he pulls the strings to shove one of his human rights lawyer mates into the AG job.

01:27:54.240 Are you telling what his priorities are?

01:27:55.840 Yeah, I mean, this is...

01:27:56.900 But the thing is, you've got to remember, he truly believes in this.

01:28:00.780 And so, you know, get used to this being the future under the Labour Party.

01:28:06.060 Zombie Philip says,

01:28:07.240 All of fairy tales are philosophic, as a lot were told to children to teach them good ideas.

01:28:12.840 That's why Aesop's fables have existed for centuries.

01:28:15.660 In fact, all good stories are philosophic stories,

01:28:18.240 used by humans to learn from other people's mistakes, like the Bible, for example.

01:28:22.560 Totally true.

01:28:23.760 Frogger says,

01:28:24.940 This is also a theme in the Frog Princess, keeping one's promises.

01:28:29.400 Though it is imposed upon her by her father,

01:28:31.380 these stories are the best, especially when rediscovering them when reading to your children.

01:28:34.780 Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go and get all these fairy tales.

01:28:37.900 Because at the moment, for my kids, I've got like modern books that you get in a local shop.

01:28:43.440 They're ugly.

01:28:44.100 And they're crap as well.

01:28:45.440 They're ugly.

01:28:46.060 And the worst thing that's happening is that they take these old stories and then tweak them.

01:28:52.000 Yeah.

01:28:52.480 And by doing so, they take away all of the wisdom from them.

01:28:55.000 Yeah, there's no substance.

01:28:56.220 There's no substance.

01:28:57.340 And it boils down to, why don't you just be nice?

01:29:00.920 Exactly.

01:29:01.180 Okay, but that's not...

01:29:01.660 Exactly.

01:29:02.100 Yeah, it's all about nice.

01:29:03.040 And Dan says,

01:29:07.500 Thanks for the fairytale analysis segment.

01:29:09.880 Very Petersonian type beats to clean my room to.

01:29:12.320 Well, that's good.

01:29:13.340 I personally actually really enjoyed it as well.

01:29:15.260 I knew it was going to be good.

01:29:16.440 Because it was weeks ago that Firas came up with this idea.

01:29:18.900 And we're like, yeah, yeah, we'll definitely do it.

01:29:21.120 I'm glad it turned out well.

01:29:22.240 Anyway, thanks for joining us all, folks.

01:29:24.240 We will be back, of course, tomorrow.

01:29:26.420 So have a great afternoon.

01:29:27.400 And we'll see you then.
