The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1220

00:00:00.000 Who are the men that pick for scraps amongst the ruins at the end of history?

00:00:04.460 You should know, because you encounter them every day.

00:00:07.300 Between the towering buildings of a fallen empire, we find the Fellaheen, the historyless men, 1.00

00:00:14.460 who know nothing of the turning of the cosmic wheel and find themselves outside of civilization

00:00:19.460 itself. Cut loose from the great chain of being, they represent the loan into which our dying

00:00:26.420 culture will return. That is, unless we choose to take up the burden once again.

00:00:33.420 This Fellaheen condition is the subject we explore in issue 4 of Islander magazine.

00:00:39.740 On sale, while stocks last, and available worldwide at shop.loadseaters.com.

00:00:46.200 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Load Seaters episode 1220 for Thursday the 31st of

00:00:53.480 July 2025. I'm your host Luca, joined today again by Harry.

00:00:57.960 Buy it!

00:00:59.940 And not-so-mystery guest, Josh Firm.

00:01:03.560 Oh, hello! Me again, can't get rid of me.

00:01:06.820 And today we're going to be talking to you all about the fact that the leftists have finally

00:01:11.820 discovered Islam, and the fact that it...

00:01:14.200 This is what, the fourth time?

00:01:15.520 Yes. Well, they keep forgetting.

00:01:17.420 Oh, yeah.

00:01:17.720 You see, that's a problem. They remember, and then they forget. And on and on it goes, like...

00:01:22.260 A goldfish.

00:01:23.280 An auroboros. 0.98

00:01:24.240 Like, like, small, testosterone-less, retarded goldfish. 0.99

00:01:29.500 Yes. 0.99

00:01:30.160 Yes.

00:01:30.480 Yes, well put. I won't do it with a segment, no, it just sums it all up perfect.

00:01:34.420 By the way, folks, if it looks at any point like I'm moving like Michael Keaton Batman,

00:01:39.320 I've got a pinched nerve in the back of my neck right now, so I can't really turn my head

00:01:43.820 all that well.

00:01:44.720 Yeah. So, uh, we're using the swivel chair to its fullest potential.

00:01:50.280 You need to do a sort of Dr. Evil. You need to start your segment facing the opposite way

00:01:54.700 to the camera and just spin around.

00:01:57.280 It doesn't quite work, because the chair just hits the table.

00:02:00.980 Yes, it does, and also destroys half of the studio.

00:02:03.640 Yes.

00:02:04.220 But when Harry isn't just swiveling on his chair for the entire thing, we're also going

00:02:09.080 to be talking about...

00:02:09.720 Oh, God. Everything's falling apart. It's you!

00:02:12.200 Oh! I'm back, and I've brought chaos.

00:02:14.660 Yes.

00:02:15.520 I may seem calm, but I bring turmoil.

00:02:18.060 Well, you're going to bring the chaos of Japan striking back, aren't you? 1.00

00:02:21.200 I am, yes.

00:02:21.480 Quite literally, the empire strikes back.

00:02:23.500 I wanted to make that joke, but I thought, no, that's too on the nose. You've made it

00:02:28.160 for me. There we go.

00:02:29.140 Well, yeah. No joke beyond me. And why no one believes in the future anymore. A nice, sunny

00:02:35.880 topic to round off the podcast with.

00:02:38.160 Yes, to counter Mr. H's depressing segment about the future from yesterday, I'm countering

00:02:44.220 with a depressing segment about how there is no future.

00:02:48.360 Can't be depressing if there is none.

00:02:49.960 So take that, Nate.

00:02:51.160 So, before we begin, of course, you may have noticed the obvious magazine in front of all

00:02:59.740 of our stands. And yes, Islander issue four is now with us, ladies and gentlemen. Rory

00:03:05.100 has once again done a tremendous job with the aesthetics. There are all sorts of esoteric

00:03:11.480 little Easter eggs on the front cover.

00:03:13.880 This man is the postmodern traditionalist.

00:03:16.880 This man is Rory. This is Rory.

00:03:18.900 This is actually what he looks like. This is him now.

00:03:21.540 Self-portrait.

00:03:24.020 And I've not been able to read through the articles yet. Obviously, it's just come out,

00:03:30.180 but I do know that there's many wonderful writers in there, as usual. Carl's written a piece,

00:03:36.280 of course. Rory's written his own.

00:03:36.900 Luca Johnson's written a good piece in there.

00:03:38.860 I've written, yeah, number four of Marshals of Middle-earth, this time talking all about

00:03:44.280 the Dark Lord Sauron. Very mean guy, very nasty, did some bad things.

00:03:50.780 And I told him...

00:03:51.740 I heard he was a great guy.

00:03:53.120 Well, he cured a lot of labour shortages.

00:03:57.840 He did. He did. Anyway, let's begin talking about the news. So, the Green Party are currently

00:04:08.200 having an election within their party for who is going to be the great pioneer who is going

00:04:15.980 to bring us into the net-zero utopia, of course, that we will no doubt all live in towards the

00:04:22.480 end of the 21st century.

00:04:23.800 I thought it was the Islamic Caliphate they were bringing in. 1.00

00:04:25.720 They're bringing in the eco-caliphate. 0.94

00:04:27.700 They're going to spread the light of Islam, but also solar panels.

00:04:32.400 The most unlikely union I've ever heard of.

00:04:34.620 The solar panels of Islam. Yes, Mohammed talked about this.

00:04:38.580 But, obviously, that's not the thing that...

00:04:42.660 The climate stuff is genuinely not even what people think about now when you think of the

00:04:47.280 Green Party, as you say, Harry. You think about Islam.

00:04:50.260 And there's a reason for that. And it's obviously because when we look back to the last general

00:04:55.320 election, the Green Party's Gaza stance won over a lot of Muslim voters.

00:04:59.940 And with new Muslim voters also comes new Muslim councillors.

00:05:04.340 And, therefore, more Muslim influence in the Green Party itself.

00:05:10.320 So, let's have a look at the quality of these men, shall we?

00:05:14.160 You obviously might remember as well that...

00:05:17.500 Well, actually, let's just... There we are.

00:05:19.280 So, we've got this chap here who shouted,

00:05:22.020 Allah Akbar, after...

00:05:24.920 And said that this is a win for Gaza. 0.94

00:05:27.280 Cares deeply for the environment.

00:05:30.560 Not ours. God forbid. Not ours at all.

00:05:34.340 And, obviously, I've got those slightly out of order.

00:05:37.320 But, as you can see here as well, the Green Party, the Muslim Greens, right?

00:05:42.720 So, you've now got... I mean, how is that for an image?

00:05:46.300 That's a proper UK aesthetic, if ever I saw one.

00:05:50.560 And, yeah, you can see all sorts of things here about our main objectives and aims.

00:05:55.560 And, really, all of it is just bound up in...

00:05:59.100 Is that picture even the British Isles?

00:06:00.920 I was questioning that. Is this, like...

00:06:03.340 It doesn't look like it.

00:06:05.180 It's...

00:06:05.580 It's a sneaky picture of, like...

00:06:06.180 It looks like the island from Jurassic Park that has all the dinosaurs on.

00:06:10.700 Perhaps it's coastal Pakistan. 0.96

00:06:12.360 It's Bangladesh.

00:06:13.460 Mm-hmm.

00:06:14.320 It's... maybe.

00:06:15.780 Are you joking?

00:06:16.480 I'm joking.

00:06:17.220 Okay, you said it with a very straight face.

00:06:19.840 It's quite a flat country.

00:06:21.300 I'm working on my deadpan.

00:06:22.800 But, yes, obviously, the Green Party...

00:06:26.680 Because the Green Party is obviously one that, even more than the Labour Party,

00:06:31.460 you know, it really is just that one where all of the minorities and freaks flock to 1.00

00:06:37.180 in order to protect themselves against the mean, big, bad fascists, 0.97

00:06:41.840 i.e. normal people.

00:06:43.620 Not as in, like, the fascist big.

00:06:44.860 But, you know, just everyone is a fascist on the outside of this. 0.58

00:06:48.660 And so, as I say, you have a growing Muslim influence.

00:06:52.840 And let's just check in on this chap now, you know, over a year on,

00:06:56.380 and see what he's talking about, shall we?

00:06:58.600 Is it still Gaza?

00:07:00.020 Well, for once, it actually isn't.

00:07:02.260 Oh, wow.

00:07:02.780 You see, because of the internal elections that are going on in the Green Party,

00:07:07.660 for what the future of the Green Party is going to look like,

00:07:11.260 this crossroads of destiny that we find ourselves at, gentlemen...

00:07:15.280 Because whenever I think of destiny, I think of the Green Party.

00:07:18.000 Yes.

00:07:18.660 I think of cook-oldry.

00:07:20.040 I don't know why I make that association between the word destiny and that.

00:07:23.600 Oh.

00:07:24.560 Ah, very good.

00:07:26.720 So, but one of the things, of course, with this is, like, well,

00:07:30.720 so Mothin here, Mr. Al-Ahuacbar himself,

00:07:34.500 wants to become the deputy leader of the Green Party.

00:07:38.500 So he, obviously, in this, has to decide what his stances are, what are his pledges, what are his positions...

00:07:45.840 Appropriately, the word inbred is also trending.

00:07:48.460 So it is.

00:07:49.640 So it is.

00:07:51.320 So it is.

00:07:51.920 What a funny coincidence.

00:07:52.300 Uh, so as he says, I've been, um, I've been sent pledges and hustings invitations from a number of special interests and liberation groups,

00:08:00.440 such as the vegan greens, I didn't know there was another kind...

00:08:05.320 Liberation as well.

00:08:06.540 What are you getting liberated from?

00:08:08.160 Uh, the, the alphabet people greens, the feminist greens, you get the idea.

00:08:13.280 Uh, officially recognised and not.

00:08:15.360 I've chosen not to sign any, not because I don't support their causes, but because...

00:08:21.060 He doesn't.

00:08:22.220 Well, we'll get to that.

00:08:23.080 Yeah, what does he care about veganism?

00:08:25.760 Yeah, where's that in the Quran?

00:08:27.420 You don't...

00:08:28.360 I've never come across a Muslim vegan.

00:08:30.200 I know they don't like...

00:08:30.780 Halal tofu.

00:08:31.900 ...the kinds of meat, but...

00:08:33.680 Uh, yeah.

00:08:34.800 Yes.

00:08:35.500 Also, the alphabet people, they're not big fans of them.

00:08:38.280 Hate to break it to people, but that's true.

00:08:41.300 Uh, he says, I've chosen not to sign any, not because...

00:08:44.100 Ideally, sitting down in conversation and not via third parties.

00:08:48.260 I believe the pledge system runs the risk of undermining our internal democratic process.

00:08:55.020 Uh, I did get this message to one of the groups in advance, but I recognise that my communication

00:08:59.800 on this, uh, could have been better.

00:09:02.460 I won't trouble you with the rest of it, but you get the idea.

00:09:06.220 He doesn't want to commit to certain pledges that a lot of the middle-class progressive

00:09:12.960 English people in the Green Party, of course, dedicate their lives to... 0.99

00:09:19.340 He doesn't want to do white pledges. 0.78

00:09:21.120 No. 1.00

00:09:21.700 Even if I disagree with them as well, because they're stupid. 1.00

00:09:24.700 Of course. 1.00

00:09:25.320 But he disagrees with them because they're white interests. 1.00

00:09:27.120 But there are stupidities. 1.00

00:09:28.620 I'm sure he's fine with the Gaza pledge. 0.99

00:09:30.980 Absolutely.

00:09:31.740 Of course.

00:09:32.700 So, but this led to some genuinely funny interactions, where all of a sudden you get just green, uh,

00:09:39.160 members saying, okay, but do you, will you support the LGBT, uh, groups, pledges in future?

00:09:45.200 Won't throw me off a rooftop, will you?

00:09:47.520 Please.

00:09:48.240 In the name of the environment.

00:09:50.920 It says, this carbon has been declared neutral.

00:09:55.820 It says, I don't agree with the concept of pledges.

00:09:59.220 I'll be happy to work with them on issues they are confronting.

00:10:02.200 So, again, just kind of dodging it.

00:10:04.400 Okay.

00:10:05.240 But that makes you the only candidate that has this opinion.

00:10:09.660 And the optics of that decision leaves me with questions about your candidacy, which I didn't have before.

00:10:17.220 And I was definitely going to vote for you.

00:10:20.280 Now I need to look at the other candidates.

00:10:23.100 It's like, well, he's a Muslim. 1.00

00:10:25.780 Like, WTF is wrong with you. 0.99

00:10:27.380 If you're saying Muslims are automatically anti-LGBT, that seems like bigotry to me. 1.00

00:10:34.820 But the face-eating saber-toothed tigers won't eat my face, surely. 0.96

00:10:41.180 But even the Muslim world says it.

00:10:44.440 It's not like they hide it, really.

00:10:46.600 They try and avoid admitting it.

00:10:48.120 But when asked and they answer candidly, they'll be like, yeah, we don't agree with this.

00:10:52.280 Right.

00:10:53.000 Right, of course.

00:10:53.820 Of course that's the case.

00:10:55.340 Have you seen the opinion polls that they give?

00:10:58.320 It's like 99% don't agree.

00:11:00.940 Right, exactly.

00:11:01.880 And so this is, you're starting to see this realization dawning on a few members of the Green Party of, hang on, these people actually have nothing in common with us. 0.99

00:11:13.140 And we're just the latest line of useful idiots, right, that are just being used as a vehicle.

00:11:18.260 But, of course, you get people like Adnan, independent, very, very independently minded MP for, yes, Blackburn, says, 0.99

00:11:28.980 I'm following this dilemma being faced by Mothin with great interest. 0.71

00:11:34.260 It's no secret that Muslims tend to be socially conservative.

00:11:37.980 Is there space on the left to create a broad enough church to allow Muslims an authentic space, just as it does with all other minority groups?

00:11:48.460 So, it's like, okay, but a broad church for socially conservative people in the Green Party.

00:11:57.080 This is a wonderful can of worms that has been opened.

00:12:01.920 Also, I like the slight Palpatine-esque introduction to this comment as well.

00:12:06.540 I'll watch your career with great interest.

00:12:08.300 Absolutely.

00:12:10.920 And so, but it's also just farcical, of course, because it's like, well, is there room for an authentic space for Muslims? 1.00

00:12:18.400 Yes.

00:12:19.060 Good news, Adnan.

00:12:19.980 There is.

00:12:20.460 51 countries.

00:12:20.920 They call it the Muslim world. 0.99

00:12:23.000 And there are many, many countries with many, many beliefs in it similar to yours.

00:12:27.860 Now, of course, this is not me suggesting that because Adnan is not British, because he doesn't support progressive values, as we know, having progressive values is not actually a litmus test as to whether or not one is or is not British.

00:12:46.240 Because I am British, but I do not have progressive values.

00:12:48.660 Right. Also, you know, that great age of Victorian homophobia, none of them were British, of course, because the attitude to gays was different then.

00:12:59.720 British were created in 1997 by a Blair government white paper.

00:13:04.240 Yes.

00:13:04.800 Created by committee.

00:13:06.660 Yes.

00:13:07.220 Made them in the lab. Yes.

00:13:09.260 And so, obviously, it's come twice.

00:13:11.680 So, you've obviously got a lot of leftists having to now debate this.

00:13:15.760 And Bastani's dipping in here saying, lots of responses to this.

00:13:20.220 Ultimately, social conservative is such a broad term, it becomes meaningless.

00:13:25.560 That's not true, is it?

00:13:27.040 Well, I know.

00:13:27.540 It's not that broad.

00:13:28.800 It sort of implies certain beliefs about certain things that you wouldn't have got if it hadn't been used.

00:13:36.280 Right.

00:13:37.260 As ever, though, the rest of this is Aaron Bastani at war with his alter ego, Aaron Bastani.

00:13:45.000 Mm-hmm.

00:13:45.760 Who continually threatens to emerge.

00:13:48.500 He's like a political two-face, not in a pejorative sense, but just that he's at war with either side of himself constantly.

00:13:55.160 So, he occasionally comes out with very sensible things.

00:13:58.520 It's surprising.

00:13:59.260 Yeah.

00:13:59.800 But, obviously, if this...

00:14:02.220 My personal opinion is that there's been this ongoing discussion, hasn't there?

00:14:07.200 Almost like, you know, a bookie's bet over the years as to who is going to come out on top of this.

00:14:12.320 Is it going to be the Rainbow Brigade or is it going to be the Muslims?

00:14:16.620 It's going to be the Muslims. 1.00

00:14:17.480 Exactly.

00:14:18.640 Because they're going to be much more determined to assert their moral worldview.

00:14:23.260 And they have a much stronger collective sense of identity against all of their, I'm just an individual, you know, people in the Green Party.

00:14:32.920 And so, what you see here is the ongoing domination of the Green Party by the Muslim sect within it. 1.00

00:14:40.900 And it is, of course, going to start eating into it more and more and forging the trajectory of it as time goes on.

00:14:48.320 I'm sure at some point it will simply be renamed the Gaza Party.

00:14:52.060 The problem is, of course, that we already have one of those now.

00:14:56.000 I believe it's called Your Party.

00:14:58.420 No, it's Your Party.

00:15:00.300 What?

00:15:00.800 Your Party.

00:15:01.840 It might be.

00:15:02.800 Could be.

00:15:03.460 I don't know.

00:15:04.240 Jeremy Corbyn's top guy.

00:15:06.200 I have met him before, you know.

00:15:07.860 Have you?

00:15:08.400 Yeah, a long time ago.

00:15:09.880 Over 10 years ago, actually.

00:15:10.920 Bet that was fun.

00:15:12.140 It was a bit weird, yeah.

00:15:13.080 Yeah.

00:15:14.000 So, all of this influence now.

00:15:16.100 Obviously, with Corbyn's party coming, it's very strange.

00:15:20.380 It's going to be, well, I mean, the Green Party is going to be made even more irrelevant than they already were.

00:15:26.320 Because you can only imagine that a lot of the Green voters, who really have no ideological difference with Corbyn whatsoever,

00:15:33.980 are simply going to see Corbyn's party, see that it just has greater electoral chances.

00:15:40.040 It's also a purer message.

00:15:41.980 Yeah.

00:15:42.100 You don't have to potentially have to rubbish about with all of the Green extra messaging on top of it. 0.84

00:15:48.640 Your, like, Corbyn's party does seem to be specifically almost entirely one issue from the messaging that I've seen coming from them thus far.

00:15:58.060 Right.

00:15:58.300 Well, also, I saw a, it's not on here, but I saw a video from Mothin, where, to show his Green Party credentials,

00:16:06.760 he was just going about just picking up some litter and putting it in the bin.

00:16:11.780 And I would only suggest that he might want to have a word with a lot of the ghettos in Birmingham. 1.00

00:16:19.660 Well, I was going to say...

00:16:20.280 And ask them to do the same thing.

00:16:22.020 See, where we're from, you tend to learn that skill when you're about two or three, and have it reinforced into you even...

00:16:30.620 Like, my daughter's not even two yet, but she will pick up rubbish about the house and literally come and hand it to me so that I can put it in the bin.

00:16:38.480 We don't typically wait until we're in our mid-30s to develop these skills.

00:16:42.420 No, no, not at all.

00:16:44.620 And so, but Adnan goes on to say, it's like, well, beyond Muslims and Christians, we have to address the assumption that working class values fit neatly with the ever-evolving left.

00:16:57.700 I represent an economically deprived working class town.

00:17:01.680 The values and concerns of my constituents matter to me more than ideological uniformity.

00:17:08.040 It was Baz. It was working class Baz who put Adnan into Parliament as an MP. 0.97

00:17:15.000 Who was it?

00:17:16.360 According to Adnan.

00:17:18.000 Also...

00:17:18.520 He was the most trustworthy fellow I've ever seen.

00:17:20.660 I really dislike the term working class values because in Britain at the minute, there's a massive divide within the native working class politically, isn't there?

00:17:29.320 There is.

00:17:29.860 I mean, they're quite prone to supporting reform, but also many working class people support Labour.

00:17:35.200 So to say it's working class values, well, it's just a rhetorical divide.

00:17:38.860 I would say many of those working class types still voting Labour are still voting for them on the basis of an idea of old Labour.

00:17:46.840 That's very true, yeah.

00:17:48.160 Yeah, which was much more socially conservative than it is today.

00:17:51.500 And even then, if we remember last year in the lead-up to the election, Starmer was kind of going in parts of his targeted campaigns, where he was kind of stealthily trying to imply that, oh, we're old Labour again.

00:18:08.620 Look at all of these English people in our advertisements in particular constituencies. 0.99

00:18:13.900 We're going to be an English party again, unlike those damn multicultural Tories. 1.00

00:18:18.960 To be fair, the Labour Party front bench is a lot whiter than the Tory party, one of them always has been. 0.98

00:18:24.840 Well, yeah, there is some truth to it, but in terms of the policies that they pursue, they're the same.

00:18:30.240 Absolutely.

00:18:30.860 They are the same.

00:18:31.900 Absolutely.

00:18:32.620 But the point here is that all of a sudden, this really kicked things up.

00:18:37.240 Because you have here, some Greek socialist woman, I've seen her on GB News once or twice, but she says,

00:18:42.880 Well, the difference with a homophobic working class man and you is that I can call the homophobic working class man a bigot, and he'll take it like a man. 0.54

00:18:52.860 She is so attracted to that working class bigot.

00:18:57.120 She can't help but love him.

00:18:59.300 She loves Richard Sharp.

00:19:00.500 Subdue me, please, Baz. 0.91

00:19:04.860 This is the biggest shout out to working class bigots I've ever heard.

00:19:09.380 Stella enjoys her working class lads drinking Stella.

00:19:13.060 And then she's saying,

00:19:13.840 Oh, you on the other hand demand to be treated like a victim and extended the dignity conferred her blah, blah, blah, basically saying, 1.00

00:19:19.880 You're a bitch. 1.00

00:19:21.680 Yeah. 1.00

00:19:21.960 I understand the point she's making.

00:19:23.780 She is right.

00:19:24.480 Yeah, she is also correct on the point that no other group, because no other group, minority group, such as Christians at this point in Britain would ever say, 0.91

00:19:35.200 Oh, well, can we carve out this little section of a progressive party for ourselves so we can still be authentic in our socially conservative ideals?

00:19:45.120 Not, of course, that there's much social conservatism in the Church of England these days.

00:19:49.080 But you take my point.

00:19:50.500 It's the arrogance and genuine will to power in the Muslim vote, in the Muslim bloc, that is just asserting itself so forthrightly here, 1.00

00:20:01.080 that it thinks it can ask for this and actually achieve it.

00:20:04.120 It's also a bit of a strategic error, because if you make your in-group preference nakedly visible, it makes people not want to cooperate with you.

00:20:12.740 And, you know, were things to continue, tensions to worsen, perhaps people would be like,

00:20:17.320 Well, I'm not going to work with you, because you're only going to be out for yourself.

00:20:20.460 Which, you know, doesn't matter what ideology you have, that impedes cooperation, doesn't it?

00:20:26.760 Or whatever religion you have.

00:20:28.920 It does.

00:20:29.820 And so you get Azam here, classic British man.

00:20:32.760 I encourage British Muslims to read some of the replies that it's a microcosm of how Muslim alignment membership on the left is heavily conditional on passing the ideological purity test.

00:20:45.160 Yes, being in a left-wing party requires left-wing ideology.

00:20:48.960 In fact, it was pretty normal for people who joined political parties which they were ideologically opposed to, for a laugh, like people who tried to vote for Corbyn.

00:20:57.860 A lot of them got kicked out, didn't they?

00:20:59.580 Or at least they tried to, or wanted to.

00:21:01.260 And that's been a thing for ages and pretty normal, actually.

00:21:06.020 As you called it, they're just using it as a vehicle.

00:21:08.560 Yes.

00:21:08.880 Because the kind of multi, the kind of values that members of the Green Party hold dictates that they have to have multicultural values as well.

00:21:16.800 Therefore, be tolerant and inviting and inclusive to those of outside cultures.

00:21:24.280 And they're just taking advantage of that.

00:21:25.960 And they're not even hiding it.

00:21:27.300 They're like, literally, just let us take over the party.

00:21:30.020 Yes.

00:21:30.320 We will turn it into something completely different to what it's supposed to be, except we'll keep a bit of the imagery that you want.

00:21:36.860 We'll post pictures of a green countryside with an Islamic call to prayer over it.

00:21:43.800 Yep.

00:21:44.000 And that's all you get.

00:21:45.300 To belabor the...

00:21:46.200 And maybe I'll pick up the litter one day.

00:21:48.940 Yeah.

00:21:49.220 To belabor the vehicle metaphor, what the Muslims want is a Toyota pickup. 1.00

00:21:53.740 You know what I mean.

00:21:54.540 And obviously, the Greens want a hybrid or electric vehicle.

00:22:01.520 They're two very different directions.

00:22:03.520 They're very different things.

00:22:04.960 At the end of the day, what the Muslims want is to expand their influence in the West, isn't it? 0.56

00:22:11.280 And to expand Islam.

00:22:12.760 That's the main thing.

00:22:14.020 The thing is, you could say it's like, oh, it's clever politicking.

00:22:17.920 But it's really not.

00:22:19.060 No, it's not.

00:22:19.480 Because they're just saying exactly what they think is that we are Islamic, we are Muslims, we have Muslim values, we will not change for you, we will pick up a bit of litter every now and again.

00:22:29.840 But that's all you're getting.

00:22:31.760 And the Greens are going, oh, but they're such a valuable part of our coalition.

00:22:36.920 Oh, they really support us on Gaza.

00:22:38.640 Yeah, we really need to find some way of winning them around.

00:22:42.040 And until then, I guess we'll just have to let them lead the party.

00:22:45.500 I mean, to their credit, they are a lot more transparent about what they want.

00:22:48.700 A lot of the time, they are quite honest about it when asked.

00:22:53.600 It's one of the things that people think. 0.96

00:22:56.240 Well, no, sorry, you say that, Josh, but let's not forget, this entire outrage on Twitter was not started by him saying, yeah, I actually just hate gays.

00:23:05.740 It was started by him saying, well, I don't really want to sign up to these pledges that everyone...

00:23:10.080 Yeah, but if everyone can see there's some nudge-nudge work...

00:23:13.720 Well, no, exactly, but I'm saying it's not honest, it's not upfront, it's not forthright.

00:23:18.360 It is, as Stella points out, he's not taking it like a man.

00:23:23.900 He's not doing it like Baz.

00:23:25.480 Being a snake.

00:23:26.460 Yeah.

00:23:27.060 There's no simple as.

00:23:28.180 Baz would just tell you he just doesn't like him.

00:23:30.400 Yeah, simple as.

00:23:31.840 But he's not saying that.

00:23:33.920 So, and then it's like, this overtly racist discourse about Muslims on the left and LGBT rights is a false flag and should be called out.

00:23:43.260 That's not what a false flag means. 0.96

00:23:44.800 Well, no, I mean, that's part of the ridiculousness.

00:23:48.220 It's like the most senior Muslim leader in the UK, I assume he means referring to Sadiq Khan, ran the most LGBT friendly nation alongside the most left-wing party with...

00:23:58.420 Nation?

00:23:59.280 The nation of London.

00:24:00.340 Is that a little bit of a brilliant slip there?

00:24:03.140 I think it is.

00:24:04.360 Yeah.

00:24:04.780 I think it is indeed.

00:24:06.420 And so, but you can see them.

00:24:08.020 They're starting to go, hang on.

00:24:10.340 Are we on the same side here?

00:24:12.260 And look at this top reply here saying, I'm not going to lie.

00:24:15.720 Sadiq Khan is an exception.

00:24:17.680 Not an example.

00:24:19.340 Oh, but no.

00:24:19.920 Oh, I was talking about Humza Yusuf. 0.91

00:24:22.780 Aha.

00:24:23.500 Aha.

00:24:24.940 Okay.

00:24:25.440 Humza Yusuf.

00:24:26.420 Nation of Scotland.

00:24:27.320 Yeah, the nation of Scotland who, again, as soon as the 7th of October happened and all of a sudden Gaza started getting bombed into dust, he turns around, turns into his number one priority.

00:24:40.340 I've got family over in Gaza like any true Scotsman does.

00:24:44.780 Right.

00:24:45.640 Well, exactly that.

00:24:46.620 Exactly that.

00:24:47.140 And so, you have this, like I say, this growing tension that you can see playing out before you within the more radically progressive parties in the United Kingdom.

00:24:58.740 Truth be told, I don't think that, if they all flock over to Corbyn, I don't think Corbyn will care about the contradictions at all.

00:25:06.520 In the same way that the Green Party, obviously, didn't care about the contradictions.

00:25:10.720 Riddled with them himself, isn't he?

00:25:12.480 Well, yeah, exactly.

00:25:13.260 I mean, it's Corbyn and the other four independents, isn't it, who have all backed him in this.

00:25:20.240 Oh, sorry.

00:25:20.980 And Zara the Sultana as well.

00:25:23.380 But other than that.

00:25:24.900 So, just for the record, I stand with all marginalized communities, including the LGBT people.

00:25:32.500 Until today, I didn't think I'd heard of some chap whose post was deleted above this.

00:25:38.680 So, again, just give the lip service.

00:25:41.980 Just give the lip service.

00:25:42.900 Just for the record, I did not sleep with that woman. 0.99

00:25:46.100 Monica Lewinsky has nothing to do with me. 1.00

00:25:48.700 I did not do it.

00:25:50.760 So, yeah, it's, you can see tensions boiling in all of these parties now.

00:25:57.280 And I think it's a pretty foregone conclusion, to be honest, as to which one is going to win.

00:26:02.880 I've just realized that the screens are off.

00:26:06.500 Yeah, we don't have any screens on.

00:26:08.280 I can turn mine on, I think.

00:26:10.240 I hope.

00:26:10.720 Okay.

00:26:11.300 I still remember the old ways.

00:26:12.780 I got it.

00:26:15.560 Would you like me to do the rumble rants?

00:26:16.980 Oh, I've knocked over Islander. 1.00

00:26:18.340 Josh became aging giga-chad for a moment there.

00:26:21.180 I still remember the old ways.

00:26:23.340 While you do that, I'm going to quickly strip, because it's very warm in here.

00:26:29.080 I'm going to lock eyes with you the whole time.

00:26:33.500 He's not feeling awkward.

00:26:34.780 It's not working.

00:26:35.300 That's a random name.

00:26:37.520 Just get me going.

00:26:39.080 That's a random name.

00:26:40.260 It says, Luca, this is for you.

00:26:41.740 I have a dinghy full of enrichment.

00:26:43.560 Oh, no, I can't read that.

00:26:46.520 That's a random name fed post.

00:26:49.340 That's his favorite pastime.

00:26:51.560 That's a random fed post.

00:26:53.360 Yeah.

00:26:53.640 You get good value for your dollar, I must say.

00:26:57.560 Sigil Stone says, the values of the working class align with us.

00:27:00.480 Isn't that right, working class? 1.00

00:27:01.940 Camera pans to working class on their knees, 0.99

00:27:04.160 with mass men holding machetes to their throats.

00:27:06.320 Yes, yes, of course.

00:27:07.880 That is very true.

00:27:09.420 Hapsification says, after the remigration policy,

00:27:12.220 for those that stay, need to be linguistic, cultural, tribal,

00:27:16.080 and genetic integration and assimilation, like Carl or Cole Palmer.

00:27:20.000 Which one's Cole Palmer?

00:27:21.300 He's one of the footballers.

00:27:23.200 I didn't even realize he had any foreign ancestry.

00:27:27.480 It's the brown eyes that give it away.

00:27:28.740 Harry missed his chance with Monica Lewinsky.

00:27:31.040 Close, but no cigar.

00:27:32.600 Not my time.

00:27:33.340 I get that.

00:27:35.000 To be fair, when your wife is Hillary Clinton, 0.99

00:27:37.120 you kind of have to have sexual relations with that woman. 1.00

00:27:40.980 Younger Hillary Clinton, though. 0.99

00:27:44.040 I'm sorry, but it's Hillary Clinton.

00:27:45.980 It's worth a nagging.

00:27:47.000 Listen, the problem with Hillary Clinton is that... 1.00

00:27:49.900 She's Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:27:50.860 Bill didn't keep a tight enough leash on her.

00:27:53.540 He let her get above her station.

00:27:55.760 That's her problem. 0.99

00:27:56.640 That's true.

00:27:59.240 Anyway.

00:27:59.640 So, obviously, when I was at Lotus Eaters, it was no mystery that I covered a lot of Japanese

00:28:07.600 politics, and I'm going to be doing the same again now I'm back, and it's actually some

00:28:13.080 positive news.

00:28:13.860 It seems like there's a good development in Japan, and I wanted to talk about it, as well

00:28:17.800 as highlight some of the ways in which Japan is different to the West, because I've covered

00:28:22.320 a lot of how they're similar in lots of my other coverage.

00:28:24.940 I don't actually have any of the things I need.

00:28:28.260 Thank you.

00:28:29.080 Why don't you give it to him?

00:28:30.520 You shouldn't let him flail.

00:28:33.060 Punishment.

00:28:33.720 Punish the audience as well.

00:28:35.420 For denying us your presence.

00:28:37.820 That's actually surprisingly nice.

00:28:39.540 It's only limited now.

00:28:40.920 I'm sure it was his own reward, wasn't it?

00:28:42.440 First Callum, now you.

00:28:45.020 But anyway, I've covered lots of stuff in Japan, talking about all the problems that

00:28:49.380 immigration has caused, giving them a cautionary tale, all of that sort of stuff, and it went 1.00

00:28:54.740 so far as to the point where the Japanese were translating it.

00:28:58.520 This is such a bizarre image.

00:29:00.600 Yes.

00:29:00.840 It's hearing a very high-pitched thing.

00:29:02.820 It almost got half a million views, as well.

00:29:05.280 My favourite thing is...

00:29:06.100 Probably more than your actual video, to be honest.

00:29:07.640 In the comments, one of the Japanese people refers to Dan as the Bearded Baron, which I

00:29:12.020 think is an excellent nickname.

00:29:14.120 That's great.

00:29:15.040 But if you want to support our work, what you can do is go over to our shop at lotuseaters.com

00:29:22.280 and get the new copy of Islander.

00:29:24.740 Do we do international delivery to Japan, Samson?

00:29:27.440 I think we do.

00:29:27.880 Because this will probably get translated, as well.

00:29:29.480 We do.

00:29:29.820 So you can buy our magazine.

00:29:32.340 It's replete with some wonderful artwork, some wonderful articles.

00:29:36.240 Many of you know this will be a bespoke collector's item soon enough.

00:29:40.360 They do sell for a lot on the internet, much higher than the asking price.

00:29:44.280 And for full disclosure, I did get given a free copy, which is not really surprising.

00:29:49.920 Come on, I worked here for years.

00:29:51.140 Minimum bribe level one Islander magazine.

00:29:53.940 Yeah, I mean, they're going to be worth so much.

00:29:56.300 Forget investing in gold.

00:29:57.700 Invest in Islander magazine.

00:29:58.860 Yeah, Josh has got a stockpile of them.

00:30:01.360 I've got crates full of them.

00:30:03.640 So that's why they couldn't get their issue twos.

00:30:07.500 Yeah, I just hoarded them.

00:30:08.820 It's like limiting the supply of diamonds.

00:30:11.540 They will never catch on, Harry.

00:30:13.180 But anyway, what I wanted to talk about is the Sanseito party, and they've done pretty well.

00:30:23.280 I know Beau covered the election about a week ago, so I'm going to go over it quickly just

00:30:26.660 so we're all on the same page, but ever so brief.

00:30:29.880 The party was only founded in 2020, and they claim to take inspiration from the Alternative

00:30:36.300 for Deutschland, or AFD, in Germany.

00:30:39.160 France's, how do you pronounce it, National Rally in English?

00:30:45.160 Yes, those ones.

00:30:45.600 It's like Reassemblement National, which is a right mouthful, really.

00:30:50.640 And, of course, reform in Britain, and most of all, Donald Trump.

00:30:54.200 I hope they're not modelling themselves on reform.

00:30:56.420 Well, I'm hoping, and this is exactly what I was going to get onto in a second, that some

00:31:02.020 of the nuances have been lost in translation.

00:31:04.280 And that they're just looking at, these are some right-wing parties that get flack, and

00:31:09.940 we want to see how they have grown successful.

00:31:12.560 So they want to copy the methods and not the ends, I'm hoping.

00:31:16.200 I mean, from what I've seen of this guy, because I was reading an article about him the other

00:31:20.220 day, he's gone much further in the kind of rhetoric than any of those parties that you

00:31:26.340 have named so far.

00:31:27.520 I would argue that reform, and some of the others as well, there have been some things

00:31:32.760 that Trump has done that's very much disappointed me.

00:31:35.860 The Epstein stuff is a pretty easy one to underline, as well as the rates of deportation are pretty

00:31:41.320 low.

00:31:41.820 I thought it'd be higher by now.

00:31:43.580 Not Obama rates yet, as far as I'm aware.

00:31:45.680 No, he's not even to Obama's levels yet.

00:31:48.080 But one thing that Japan does have, which Europe and the US does not, is more time to fix the

00:31:54.500 problem, because only 3% of the population is foreign-born at the minute.

00:31:59.060 And all of this only really started for Japan around November of 2023, when a number of

00:32:05.020 NGOs leveraged Japan's high debt-to-GDP ratio to impose more third-world immigration on them. 0.99

00:32:11.080 And so they've not really had this for nearly as long.

00:32:13.980 You know, Britain's had it since... 0.69

00:32:15.000 Which NGOs were those?

00:32:16.040 1997.

00:32:17.220 Quite a few.

00:32:19.020 You know, it's like UN organizations, as well as lots of others.

00:32:23.640 Interesting, isn't it?

00:32:24.480 There's a whole rabbit hole to go down there, which is an own segment all on its own.

00:32:32.560 So, this party, following this, won a seat in the 2022 House of Councillors, which is

00:32:39.660 the equivalent of, you know, the Senate in the US, or an upper house in a bicameral parliament.

00:32:46.560 Um, and that allowed them to become an official party, because they won more than 2% of the

00:32:52.520 vote, and that's the threshold you've got to meet to become one in Japan.

00:32:56.520 So, they only started in 2020.

00:32:58.380 They were already getting seats.

00:33:00.340 Then in 2024, they gained three seats out of 465 in the House of Representatives.

00:33:05.620 Again, it's equivalent to the US.

00:33:08.020 And then following the recent 2025 House of Councillors election, which is the one that

00:33:12.220 Beau, I think, covered, they held 15 House of Councillors seats.

00:33:15.900 Of course, they had one already, so they gained 14, which is a pretty meteoric rise, really,

00:33:21.840 when you think about it.

00:33:23.120 Look at reform.

00:33:24.080 They've been around for, you know, a similar sort of amount of time.

00:33:28.860 They've got, they keep on losing their parliamentarians, because they keep on leaving or getting kicked

00:33:33.580 out.

00:33:34.460 But they're making much better gains than them in much shorter space of time, with a much

00:33:39.140 more favorable time frame.

00:33:41.360 So, it's actually looking quite positive, if this trend continues.

00:33:46.020 And it is worth mentioning that that recent election, the Prime Minister stayed on.

00:33:50.500 It was a coalition of liberals, basically.

00:33:53.000 Our face.

00:33:53.620 He doesn't look too happy, though. 0.91

00:33:54.460 He looks miserable.

00:33:55.740 Yeah, they did lose their majority in the upper house of their parliament.

00:34:00.460 So, let's talk a bit more about this party, because they have been pushing in a very interesting

00:34:06.880 direction.

00:34:08.940 They're referring to him as a mini-Trump, the leader of the party.

00:34:12.800 And, yes, he's the founder and the secretary general as well.

00:34:17.220 So, that's how you know that they're staying true, is that one of the founders is still involved,

00:34:20.740 although some of the other founders did leave because of some COVID stuff and US election

00:34:26.400 stuff, which I can't repeat, because it will get us in trouble with YouTube, as always.

00:34:32.440 And I did see this, so I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

00:34:40.180 So, I'm just going to read it, and then we can talk about it.

00:34:44.220 So, on July 19th, the final day of the election campaign, an audience of approximately 20,000

00:34:50.000 people packed in Shiba Park at the base of Tokyo Tower, which was lit up in orange, to

00:34:54.460 listen intently to the man's speech.

00:34:56.780 Make me a dictator, like Hitler. 0.94

00:34:59.000 I don't think any other dictator who cares so much about his party members write.

00:35:03.620 And I looked at this online, because I thought, that's a touch of a strong statement, I would

00:35:09.980 say.

00:35:10.320 I know they were part of the Axis, but, you know.

00:35:14.180 I mean, to be, to, you know, try and attempt to understand what he means here, parts of

00:35:21.420 Asia, I think, miss the taboo of declaring yourself like him, and they look at it from

00:35:26.280 a sense of, well, he was very loyal to the people who were loyal to him, wasn't he?

00:35:30.700 Although, not really.

00:35:31.980 Was it Iraq that Callum was in recently, where they had a restaurant called Hitler Burger?

00:35:36.500 Yes.

00:35:36.920 That he wanted to go to, but sadly it was shut by the time he got there.

00:35:40.060 Basically, anywhere to the east of Greece has a very different view of the bad man, the

00:35:46.860 mid-century bad man.

00:35:48.100 So, one thing it's worth mentioning, I went and did a lot of digging, it's the only mention

00:35:52.760 of him saying this is in this article, and this is a somewhat tabloidy publication.

00:35:58.660 Right.

00:35:58.960 So, who knows, maybe it's a source, maybe only they picked up on it, or maybe he was

00:36:04.660 making a joke.

00:36:05.560 Who knows?

00:36:06.320 Maybe he is genuine and he's the next.

00:36:08.500 And for all we know, that might have just been a little offhanded jokey comment, like

00:36:12.320 you say.

00:36:13.220 I don't know.

00:36:13.860 But, I wanted to include it for the sake of transparency.

00:36:19.660 It is just funny.

00:36:20.920 So, returns to the shogunate.

00:36:22.660 Yes.

00:36:23.220 This is their party taking a march through, I believe it was Tokyo.

00:36:27.960 And you may notice something.

00:36:29.200 This is against Kurds, who I've covered before, have caused them lots of problems.

00:36:33.720 Some of these flags are not...

00:36:34.660 There are only 3,000 of them.

00:36:36.420 There's not very many.

00:36:37.280 Yeah.

00:36:37.580 Some of these flags are not like the others.

00:36:39.740 Can you notice the difference?

00:36:41.560 Yeah, one appears to have a rising, you know, sort of more of a glowy aesthetic to it.

00:36:48.100 It shines brighter, more fiercely than the others.

00:36:51.400 It looks cooler.

00:36:52.560 It does look cooler.

00:36:53.520 I will give them that.

00:36:54.420 But it might add some weight to the reference to the German bad man.

00:37:00.560 And, yes, I thought that was interesting.

00:37:03.080 But what I think is far more interesting than simply carrying those flags, which I think

00:37:08.480 it's okay to do that.

00:37:10.360 You know, we forgive you.

00:37:11.580 It was a long time ago.

00:37:13.420 And even though you nearly killed my grandfather in that conflict, I will allow you to fly that 0.51

00:37:18.240 flag again, personally.

00:37:19.620 I've given you my grace.

00:37:20.940 And so, you don't need to feel bad about it, okay?

00:37:23.360 You only need to feel guilty for your own sins.

00:37:26.540 And there is this.

00:37:27.900 The third most popular party in Japan, Senseito, has drafted a constitution that would

00:37:32.900 restore power to the emperor, replace individual rights with national duties, and restrict

00:37:38.420 foreigners from long-term residency, land ownership, and welfare benefits.

00:37:42.640 I've got to say, that last part is my favourite.

00:37:46.580 Power to the emperor makes me feel like I'm going to be in a sinking ship in Singapore again,

00:37:51.200 and history will repeat itself.

00:37:52.520 But, yes, this is all, I think, very necessary.

00:37:57.900 Oh, Ireland is falling down.

00:37:59.860 Oh, no.

00:38:00.480 Not roaring.

00:38:00.960 This is all very necessary to restore a sense of nationhood to Japan.

00:38:06.680 Not to say that it's been deprived from them in the same way that it has in the Western

00:38:10.820 world, the other Western countries.

00:38:13.500 But I think that there's still a great unspoken shame that hangs over Japan for their behaviour 0.99

00:38:19.840 in World War II, and it's to the point whereby, if you even mention it, people get funny about

00:38:25.780 it.

00:38:26.560 And I think that embracing your past a little bit more is more healthy, because having

00:38:31.480 something that's unspoken, and, you know, we don't talk about that even though it's essential

00:38:36.080 for defining who we are today, that's not healthy, and it's not a good way to promote growth into

00:38:43.020 the future.

00:38:43.940 I think that this sort of thing is necessary to just accept that, well, it's going a little

00:38:49.060 bit further than accepting it.

00:38:50.660 But it's embracing the Japan of the past to a certain degree that I think is necessary, 0.99

00:38:54.780 and I wanted to read through some of what it's actually going to do in detail.

00:38:59.160 If I might just say before you do, one of the things that I personally admire most about

00:39:03.400 Japan is after the 300-year period of isolation, when the Americans finally arrived and basically

00:39:11.420 said, you are opening up to the rest of the world, you are going to trade, we are going

00:39:15.540 to force you to change, that Japan, still under that force and threat, was able to emerge 0.58

00:39:24.160 with an identity that did embrace modernity, but was still able to keep some essence of its

00:39:31.020 own philosophy and what it believes.

00:39:34.080 And one of the things that we are constantly threatened by is exactly that, that force of

00:39:40.460 change, simply being told that this is your future, you are going to become a part of the

00:39:46.140 global system, and anything that you might feel as regards to your own identity or heritage

00:39:53.260 or something idiosyncratic to your own personal heritage and way of life, has to go, is an

00:39:59.440 inconvenience.

00:40:00.620 And Japan, yeah, sure, there was some dodgy stuff in there, I'm not going to deny it, 1.00

00:40:05.500 but it's come out of that.

00:40:07.720 And even whatever you think of Japan nowadays, it still has its very own national character.

00:40:14.160 And I think that that's something that we should undoubtedly learn from.

00:40:17.700 And so I don't really see this.

00:40:19.820 Well, the thing is, even with all of the flattening of culture that happens under a globalist

00:40:25.920 economy, for instance, if we were still, like, across the country, even in our big cities,

00:40:34.020 majority English, the English national character would still shine through because it's simply

00:40:38.180 the way the Englishmen naturally behave themselves.

00:40:41.500 And that's what you can see, even in some of the more rural, majority English parts of

00:40:46.780 the country, the English are still going about like the English do. 1.00

00:40:50.380 The difference between us and them is, as Josh has pointed out, they still have a very,

00:40:55.700 very small foreign population, whereas there are major parts of this country that have been

00:41:00.000 completely swamped with diversity.

00:41:02.500 And so what happens then is you get the great gray sludge of multiculturalism, because then 1.00

00:41:08.640 you get all of these varying different ethnic groups trying to basically work with and at

00:41:16.020 the same time avoid one another.

00:41:18.280 And this leads to the flattening of culture that we see in places like Birmingham or London,

00:41:23.180 or in those cases, perhaps even the replacement of culture, because simply the replacement of

00:41:27.960 the populations mean that the people who are there now are completely different, they behave

00:41:32.020 completely different.

00:41:32.920 And so the cities are completely different.

00:41:35.820 Back to the restoration of the Japanese empire, I'm going to read some of the details that

00:41:41.680 they're proposing.

00:41:43.500 And of course, they are, I think, the third largest party in at least the upper house.

00:41:48.940 And so this isn't insignificant.

00:41:50.960 This could be the direction that Japan takes if they carry on growing as they seem to. 0.62

00:41:55.760 So unfortunately, this is paywalled, but I was able to read it.

00:41:59.420 So you're just going to have to take my word for it.

00:42:01.640 But it is in this article that I'm reading from, it was a much better explanation, because

00:42:05.820 some of the nuances of the original thing they published were a bit lost on me, because

00:42:09.940 I am not fluent in Japanese.

00:42:12.500 It says, the imperial system, the role of the emperor is clarified by declaring him the head

00:42:17.360 of state, and to end of the debate, only male heirs of the male line can succeed the throne.

00:42:23.500 Pretty, you know, obviously, the emperor being head of state, again, is significant.

00:42:27.840 It's a bit of a defiance against the Americans, although these days, I don't think they'll

00:42:31.920 mind so much.

00:42:33.420 Society, the family is the foundation of the society, and the state should provide strong

00:42:36.880 support for families through access to free education, direct financial assistance for

00:42:41.120 children.

00:42:41.640 The state must provide various options in compulsory education.

00:42:45.060 I don't particularly like all of this.

00:42:47.200 The state must do all these things.

00:42:49.320 It's up to the people to do it.

00:42:50.800 You shouldn't have the government doing this sort of thing.

00:42:53.480 But it's a different culture, I think, in Japan.

00:42:56.320 They're more accepting of dependence, that being a quirk of collectivism, than perhaps

00:43:03.200 we are.

00:43:03.920 So it might be more suitable there than it is here, to add a bit of a caveat on my opinion.

00:43:09.820 Compulsory education will include the Japanese language, classical literature, history and

00:43:13.420 mythology, moral education, martial arts, political participation.

00:43:17.820 And to end another debate issue, marriage will be defined as a union between a man and a

00:43:21.560 woman, and the husband and wife will be required to have the same surname.

00:43:25.760 That last part, I approve of.

00:43:27.860 Very good.

00:43:29.900 Japan should strive for 100% self-sufficiency in food, seeds and fertilisers. 0.90

00:43:34.120 That's great.

00:43:35.800 Makes perfect sense.

00:43:36.660 They had a recent rice shortage, which pushed up the prices to unprecedented levels.

00:43:42.980 They're also saying Japanese citizens are free to select their healthcare, and the government

00:43:47.260 is required to fully and publicly disclose all matters related to health, including information

00:43:51.560 on pesticides, medicines and food additives.

00:43:54.100 Again, that's great.

00:43:55.920 Political participation.

00:43:56.920 They want to lower the voting age down to 16, actually, which is surprising.

00:44:01.020 Or maybe they're experiencing a similar thing to us, where there's a great political divide

00:44:05.920 in the younger generation.

00:44:06.800 I wouldn't be surprised, because they got started largely online, as many sort of new

00:44:15.040 right-wing movements often do.

00:44:17.320 And so I imagine they're probably doing quite well with the younger audience.

00:44:21.540 And they've also said one statement, and this is what the article says, which no legal expert

00:44:26.720 would accept, well, change it, defines a Japanese citizen as someone who has a Japanese father

00:44:31.880 or mother, whose mother tongue is Japanese, and whose heart cherishes Japan, which is

00:44:36.440 a lovely turn of phrase.

00:44:37.100 Very, very good.

00:44:38.260 And I like that.

00:44:39.400 I want that to be our standard for a British citizen as well.

00:44:42.760 You've got to have British blood. 0.98

00:44:44.260 You've got to be fluent in English, or maybe Welsh or Gaelic Scots, if you've really got

00:44:49.880 to push it.

00:44:50.540 But your heart must cherish England.

00:44:52.900 I'm not going to do that to the Scots and the Welsh.

00:44:56.380 Cherish your own constituent parts.

00:44:58.740 This is Britain.

00:45:00.120 Cherish Britain. 0.60

00:45:00.860 They also want all things that could be, you know, part of self-defense, all industries

00:45:09.700 like, you know, communications, electric, water, gas, and the likes, either be state-owned

00:45:14.340 or 100% domestically owned.

00:45:16.340 That's very important and very free market, but that is a good amendment, actually, and

00:45:20.920 I think a good idea.

00:45:22.280 And then, finally, best to last, foreign residents. 1.00

00:45:24.920 Land cannot be sold or transferred to non-resident foreign nationals or investors.

00:45:29.740 Good idea.

00:45:31.460 Naturalized foreign residents, along with their children and grandchildren, are prohibited 1.00

00:45:35.120 from holding public office or becoming public officials.

00:45:38.320 Oh, music to my ears.

00:45:40.040 The constitution does not address international marriages, but since citizenship is passed

00:45:44.200 from either a Japanese mother or father, this ban likely applies if both parents are

00:45:48.480 foreign nationals.

00:45:49.660 And this hasn't had the effect that you might think with the foreigners living in Japan.

00:45:55.320 For example, here is a Swede who's come out in support of this new party, whose slogan

00:46:02.580 is, you know, Japan first.

00:46:05.140 Following in Trump's footsteps, although I don't think they're sending nearly as much

00:46:08.920 money to Israel.

00:46:09.580 There is something beautifully comical about this image.

00:46:16.400 It does look a little bit out of place, doesn't it?

00:46:19.380 It sort of looks like an albino.

00:46:21.720 It looks to me like we was samurai.

00:46:24.980 The white foreigner character in a shogun TV series.

00:46:29.920 But it only makes sense to me that somebody who appreciates Japanese culture so much that

00:46:35.860 he would be willing to move over there and try and get citizenship would look around and

00:46:40.100 recognize that he doesn't want it to change.

00:46:42.720 And, you know, good on him for potentially even sacrificing his own place in that society

00:46:47.340 to make sure that it doesn't change.

00:46:50.500 I think that's a very honorable way of going about it.

00:46:55.060 I agree.

00:46:56.040 He's an honorable man.

00:46:57.020 But anyway, I quickly wanted to go over something, and I'm aware I've been going on for a long

00:47:01.700 time, so I'm just going to fire through it.

00:47:03.460 I've covered the problems caused by Kurds and other Muslim minorities. 1.00

00:47:07.760 I've covered that Africans are now in Japan and baffled by their way of living and causing 1.00

00:47:12.900 lots of problems.

00:47:14.320 I've also mentioned...

00:47:14.960 The streamer menace.

00:47:15.540 Yes, the streamer menace.

00:47:16.720 I've covered that.

00:47:17.900 I've also mentioned the tensions with the Chinese.

00:47:20.280 You've become associated with sort of taking advantage of the Japanese's generous system

00:47:25.780 for their own gain.

00:47:27.320 To a certain extent, there was a big example of, I think it was the Chinese, hoarding rice 1.00

00:47:31.540 in warehouses to resell for more money later on down the line.

00:47:36.060 And yes, there have been lots of cases of Vietnamese people who actually we do get in Britain.

00:47:43.420 I think they're the 10th largest group of boat people we get across the channel, which

00:47:48.260 is counterintuitive because they've come probably the furthest.

00:47:51.660 It's a hell of an odyssey.

00:47:52.680 It is, yes.

00:47:54.820 I'm not surprised they're not keen to go to America, but it's a bit of a stretch to come

00:47:59.020 here.

00:47:59.040 I thought it was Cambodians associated with boat people from that part of the world.

00:48:03.320 Them too, yes.

00:48:04.640 Both.

00:48:04.980 Well, Cambodians are also sort of in an equivalent boat, so to speak.

00:48:09.980 Pardon the pun.

00:48:11.640 But there are things like this.

00:48:13.600 A 32-year-old Vietnamese man is arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman.

00:48:17.400 He is basically a woman in her 20s.

00:48:20.640 This happened overnight after I prepared my segment yesterday, so this was hot off the

00:48:26.860 press.

00:48:27.860 And then there's another one here.

00:48:29.360 Japanese man, or Vietnamese man, sorry, 24, broke into an old lady's house and stabbed

00:48:36.320 her, oh no, a lady and her elderly mother, sorry, in Saga Prefecture.

00:48:41.720 Two Vietnamese men have been arrested.

00:48:43.400 Obviously, this is a brutal kind of crime that they're not used to, and nor are we, for that

00:48:48.460 matter.

00:48:49.840 And apparently, he was in Japan on a technical internship that is used to help people from

00:48:56.760 disadvantaged countries.

00:48:58.500 And so, it's a perfect example of how helping poor countries actually doesn't help you or

00:49:06.000 them.

00:49:06.280 It just makes things worse for everyone.

00:49:08.800 And that sounds sort of harsh and callous, but actually, the best thing they can do is

00:49:13.380 help themselves, because then they actually learn how to create a civilization, rather

00:49:16.860 than parasitizing those who've already established one.

00:49:20.340 And here's another one.

00:49:21.960 Two Vietnamese men have been arrested for stealing approximately 2.9 tons of copper wire.

00:49:27.060 They're stealing...

00:49:27.940 What are they, the gypsies of East Asia or something?

00:49:30.540 Apparently so, yes.

00:49:32.300 Stealing copper wire, still a very lucrative, low criminal act, apparently, all across the

00:49:38.080 world.

00:49:39.020 Vietnamese welder, 21, was arrested for stabbing another Vietnamese man, 25, in the stomach.

00:49:44.420 Police suspect there may have been trouble between...

00:49:46.660 Really?

00:49:48.160 There might have been trouble. 0.89

00:49:49.040 He stabbed him in the stomach.

00:49:50.140 But anyway, in an unrelated incident, two Vietnamese men were arrested for smuggling ketamine in

00:49:55.180 shoes.

00:49:55.980 I had no idea the Vietnamese were such a menace in Japan. 1.00

00:49:58.940 Do you have any per capita figures?

00:50:03.000 I do not.

00:50:04.300 I wasn't able to find any, but if I do, I'll let them know.

00:50:07.140 You're worse if they're out there letting Josh know so he can use it for a future segment.

00:50:11.780 Yes, any per capita statistics at all, just send them my way, I love them.

00:50:15.380 They're my favourite.

00:50:16.400 I put them on my wall.

00:50:17.060 Out of pure scientific curiosity?

00:50:19.120 Yes, mostly.

00:50:22.380 And then there was this.

00:50:25.220 ANN reports on recent crimes by Vietnamese in Japan.

00:50:27.920 Those who come to work in Japan on trainee visas are stuck in a single job, unable to

00:50:32.440 switch employers if conditions are terrible.

00:50:35.200 Some quit and engage in illegal work to send remittances to families.

00:50:38.520 So this may well be the root of why the Vietnamese are doing this. 1.00

00:50:41.860 And in Britain, the Vietnamese are associated with coming over illegally and then they get

00:50:47.300 trapped in sort of this modern world slavery by foreign gangs and used as basically forced

00:50:54.500 to grow cannabis in some of the growing operations, which is kind of horrible that they just

00:51:00.960 become slaves.

00:51:01.960 And they victimise Japanese people who, by the sounds of it, outside of this all taking 0.52

00:51:06.320 place on their land, have very little to do with any of this.

00:51:09.760 Mm-hmm.

00:51:10.620 Yeah.

00:51:11.020 Brilliant.

00:51:11.140 So this is not a problem that either Britain or Japan should have to put up with.

00:51:16.380 And there's also other people as well.

00:51:19.520 This was unusual. 0.57

00:51:20.780 My daughter was licked on the thigh.

00:51:22.740 Mother calls the police after a high school girl is the victim of an obscene act on a train 0.96

00:51:30.040 station platform where a Nepalese national licked her thigh for whatever reason.

00:51:35.940 And his excuse was, I don't understand Japanese. 0.51

00:51:41.300 Or consent.

00:51:42.920 Apparently not.

00:51:44.220 And the Nepalese, that's a form of British colony.

00:51:47.080 I think they're aware that this sort of thing is wrong.

00:51:49.940 I think they know that this is weird and strange.

00:51:52.400 And so, yes, this person's obviously trying to weasel his way out of the responsibility

00:51:58.860 for his own actions.

00:52:00.080 And then there's this as well, the Jeet program, which rather than having English language speakers,

00:52:08.820 they're busing in lots of Indians, which of course, as we know, in Britain, once they 1.00

00:52:14.020 take over, there's no going back.

00:52:17.160 Your corner shops will all be staffed by Indians. 1.00

00:52:19.820 And then it's the same in America with the motel industry, where it all just started to

00:52:26.780 fall into Indian hands. 0.97

00:52:28.040 And then they would just slowly take over an area with monopoly over all of the motels.

00:52:33.620 Bring more family over.

00:52:34.940 On and on it goes.

00:52:35.900 Yep.

00:52:36.480 And then finally, it's worth mentioning as well, that there are people in the legal profession

00:52:40.360 that are saying that you can't legally deport people.

00:52:44.420 It violates their human rights.

00:52:46.620 Yes, we know these sorts.

00:52:47.880 So they've already got to this point.

00:52:49.940 And of course, we're at that point now.

00:52:51.900 And so hopefully, with all of this going on, with a party that seems to be keen to restore

00:52:57.780 some, you know, dignity back to Japan and solve the problems before they spiral out of

00:53:03.900 control, like in our country, there is more promise and actually an optimistic direction

00:53:10.500 for Japan.

00:53:11.120 And I really hope that it goes that way.

00:53:14.480 Before we go to the next one, I just want to highlight.

00:53:16.840 Like, there is something very familiar, even though she's Japanese, about this kind of

00:53:21.760 physiognomy.

00:53:22.780 Right?

00:53:23.360 You see this kind of woman in England as well. 1.00

00:53:25.800 They look very, very, very similar.

00:53:27.980 I wonder if it's just something in the genes that makes you look like this and have some

00:53:34.160 kind of suicidal out-group empathy.

00:53:37.040 Well...

00:53:37.480 She wouldn't be out of place on a Japanese LBC show.

00:53:40.760 Yeah.

00:53:41.320 The same genes that determine your physical appearance determine your behaviour.

00:53:45.120 So it's entirely possible.

00:53:47.340 It's true.

00:53:48.480 Got a few rumble rants.

00:53:49.460 The Engaged Few says, to hell with the Meiji Restoration, revive the Tokugawa Shogunate.

00:53:56.460 Sigil Stone says, I'd add one more amendment to Japan's constitution. 0.97

00:54:00.840 If Nintendo releases another dogshit legend of Zelda, their executives will be publicly executed. 0.61

00:54:07.300 Seems a touch harsh, but I understand. 0.94

00:54:09.000 I was talking about this sort of thing with Samson on lunch.

00:54:13.500 We mentioned Mario Kart and the Switch 2 and how it came out with no games on it.

00:54:18.000 And, except for Mario Kart World.

00:54:20.760 Why make an open-world Mario Kart?

00:54:24.940 What's the point of that?

00:54:26.860 At no point would have played Mario Kart in the past with friends have I thought to myself,

00:54:30.820 you know what would improve this experience?

00:54:32.860 A pointless five-minute drive in between each race.

00:54:36.620 Like, what absurdity.

00:54:40.460 That's just, open-world games have gone bonkers.

00:54:45.320 They've gone mad.

00:54:47.460 That's my...

00:54:48.120 That's my Paul Joseph Watson there.

00:54:50.340 Imagine my shark.

00:54:52.560 Anyway, so last segment, folks, we're almost there.

00:54:58.560 Way to big it up.

00:54:59.960 Are you not having fun?

00:55:01.560 I'm having great fun, but this one won't be.

00:55:05.460 This one won't be.

00:55:06.940 So, gentlemen, what do we know is the sign of a healthy society?

00:55:13.540 A copy of Islander magazine.

00:55:15.280 Exactly that.

00:55:16.460 Buying a copy of Islander 4, which is now on sale on the website for the low, low price of £14.99.

00:55:26.200 Two pints in London.

00:55:27.160 Two pints in London, possibly one double shot with a little bit of splash on top.

00:55:33.620 So, if you buy one of these, I can guarantee you it will bring great fortune to your descendants and your family in general.

00:55:41.520 Buy one of these and it will equip you with the kind of knowledge that you could only get from the ancient texts,

00:55:46.940 except it's been brought forward into our modern age.

00:55:50.080 As you can see from here, this image, this is actually a photograph of Rory at work on this,

00:55:56.160 in between editing the articles on his phone, checking his Twitter notifications.

00:56:02.380 Beautiful, beautiful self-portrait.

00:56:04.320 And yes, we do keep him chained in a dark room.

00:56:07.280 Which is why it's all the more important that you buy this copy to make sure that his suffering,

00:56:12.520 and we make sure he suffers, was worth it.

00:56:15.900 And there's also merchandise on the website as well, which I think...

00:56:19.480 Is the merchandise out yet, Samson, or is that going out later?

00:56:23.040 I think...

00:56:23.340 No, it's not out late.

00:56:24.240 What I was told...

00:56:25.260 I don't know why I'm telling you about the goings-on of Lotus Eaters. 0.77

00:56:28.320 Well, you're clearly more informed than I am.

00:56:30.500 Apparently, there's still...

00:56:31.760 It's the last opportunity to get all of the last batch of merch on the store before it is gone,

00:56:38.140 and the new batch is introduced.

00:56:40.100 And can you buy it still?

00:56:41.280 Well, let's see.

00:56:42.380 Not found.

00:56:43.540 Oof! 1.00

00:56:44.260 Oof! 1.00

00:56:44.980 Too late, sucker. 1.00

00:56:47.080 Rory must stay in the dark room. 1.00

00:56:48.960 Anyway, no, there you go. 0.94

00:56:50.360 Buy Islander, you cheapskate. 1.00

00:56:52.820 Anyway, the future is one of the things that makes for a healthy society.

00:57:00.280 The idea of the future.

00:57:02.860 Subjects of your nation or citizens being aware that they can plan at least a little bit for the future.

00:57:10.580 So, long-term thinking, low time preference.

00:57:15.040 So that you're not only living in the moment, spending all your savings on menial BS right now,

00:57:22.300 so that you can get current satisfaction you want to save for the future,

00:57:27.840 not just for yourself, but for your posterity as well.

00:57:30.980 Well, if we actually look into what's going on in England and the UK broadly about whether people are planning for the future or not,

00:57:39.960 it doesn't look too great.

00:57:41.200 I'm living it.

00:57:43.540 Yes, it doesn't look too great.

00:57:45.300 And there are a number of reasons for this, but this is an article from the BBC that caught my eye,

00:57:50.540 called Why I'm Not Paying Into a Pension.

00:57:52.600 And yes, all of the people featured in this article are foreigners.

00:57:57.260 We've got an Argentinian.

00:57:58.600 We have somebody who's called Syrah Amir and a Bangladeshi.

00:58:04.600 However, I do not think that their experiences they're describing here are necessarily unrepresentative of the mindset of most younger people in the UK.

00:58:13.440 I'm not paying into a pension.

00:58:15.060 I mean, and I wasn't before I was unemployed either.

00:58:17.940 So, yeah.

00:58:19.300 When I was at Lotus, he said I never paid into a pension because I couldn't afford it.

00:58:22.820 It was a luxury.

00:58:23.560 We do have a Brokonomics from Dan on pensions, which goes into detail on how they work,

00:58:29.980 how they're a little bit of a pyramid Ponzi scheme where you're taking,

00:58:33.800 the government has had it set up so that you're taking money from generations of today

00:58:38.280 and giving it to yesterday's generations as kind of like a wealth transfer from the young to the old

00:58:44.160 because all of the pension money that the older people put into their pension pots got spent by the government,

00:58:50.540 which is a great way of managing your economy.

00:58:53.000 If you ask me, it's just spend, spend, spend.

00:58:55.560 And because of that, pensions aren't themselves necessarily amazing

00:59:00.380 because the likelihood is that when we all get to the age where we can actually start taking from our pensions,

00:59:05.600 the money might just not be there, the same as it is with the boomers right now. 0.55

00:59:09.240 But it's not just the pensions themselves.

00:59:11.600 There is a distinct lack of any savings whatsoever going on with these people.

00:59:17.040 And you can listen to the reasons that they give.

00:59:18.800 So this person, Mohamed, again, he's foreign, but I don't think this is necessarily unrepresentative

00:59:25.140 of the way people are thinking right now.

00:59:25.960 Harry, you're calling me out here.

00:59:28.020 Is saying that the reason that he's not paying into a workplace or private pension

00:59:32.180 is because he's worried more about surviving day to day than worrying about the future.

00:59:37.240 So what does that tell us?

00:59:38.240 It tells us that they are not actually saving any money on the side privately either.

00:59:44.320 Because it doesn't just have to be a pension.

00:59:46.020 You can get yourself a savings account, a cash ISA, stocks and shares, etc.

00:59:50.280 You can put your money aside so that it can gather interest and pay you out more in the future,

00:59:55.140 hopefully in line with inflation.

00:59:57.140 That's not what's going on here.

00:59:58.780 These people are probably living paycheck to paycheck.

01:00:01.700 And for younger people especially, that's probably something that is going to feel very, very familiar to you.

01:00:08.660 Oh yeah.

01:00:09.300 Yes.

01:00:10.200 And it says as well, this is from a recent government report,

01:00:14.680 which is showing that half, almost half of working age adults aren't paying into a private or workplace pension.

01:00:22.140 Low earners and women are less likely to have their own pension.

01:00:24.960 And of people of foreign extraction, particularly Pakistani and Bangladeshi, only one in four of them do.

01:00:30.640 To be fair, that might be because their savings is actually the remittances that they're sending back home.

01:00:35.940 So that might have something to do with it.

01:00:37.460 But either way, it does show an overall trend, which is that people aren't saving.

01:00:42.060 And why wouldn't you save?

01:00:43.640 Well, it's because you think that the money that you save now either won't be worth enough in the future

01:00:49.620 to actually make saving it worth it,

01:00:51.740 or you just don't have the ability to save because everything is so expensive right now.

01:00:56.900 You've got bills, you've got electricity, you've got mortgages, you've got rent, you've got food shopping,

01:01:02.300 you've got all sorts of things that will continually drain from whatever you get at the end of the month in your pay packet.

01:01:07.560 So there's no point.

01:01:09.180 There's no point.

01:01:10.360 And the way that this is really manifesting is mainly in housing,

01:01:14.060 because we've covered time and time and time again,

01:01:16.640 house prices are absolutely insane.

01:01:19.780 These people are saying things like,

01:01:22.080 even if I do get a good job with good pension benefits,

01:01:25.520 I'd rather save for a deposit or a house.

01:01:27.600 I'll try to get 30 to 50k in my bank account.

01:01:30.420 I think that's more important than anything else.

01:01:33.180 That's a lot of money.

01:01:34.420 Yeah, and that is a lot of money just for a deposit on a house.

01:01:38.660 And later on in the article, it says as well,

01:01:40.680 let me see if I can find it.

01:01:42.620 That must be London prices if you need that for a deposit on a house, right?

01:01:46.400 Yeah, I believe that they were in London.

01:01:48.500 But still, it's going to be a lot of money for a deposit for a decent house these days,

01:01:54.700 unless you take on a part ownership scheme.

01:01:57.300 But even then, if you do that,

01:01:58.540 the mortgage that you're paying off is only going to be for a fraction of the actual overall equity of the house.

01:02:04.140 You'll own 40% of it.

01:02:05.900 It blows my mind, actually, that these people come over with very little

01:02:09.100 and then choose to live in London,

01:02:11.040 one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.

01:02:14.540 And, you know, even British people with some degree of inherited wealth

01:02:19.900 struggle to live in London to a certain degree.

01:02:23.080 So how on earth are they able to make ends meet?

01:02:25.540 Well, my experience of living in London for four or five years...

01:02:29.620 Yeah, well, God, aged me terribly.

01:02:31.820 But when I was there, it was...

01:02:33.200 He's actually 19 years old.

01:02:34.760 The thing was that I was on a pretty low-end job

01:02:41.220 and it was just a case of, well, you pay your rent

01:02:44.240 and then everything else, as you say,

01:02:46.120 you've got... there's nothing to save by the end of the month.

01:02:49.000 You're just living month to month.

01:02:50.820 And what that does, the repetition of it,

01:02:53.240 the familiarity of that breeds that mindset.

01:02:56.120 So even when you're out of that circumstance,

01:02:57.920 you're going to have this almost reflex response saying,

01:03:01.320 well, I've got money, but I can't save the money,

01:03:05.020 so I should get what I can with it right now.

01:03:07.340 So it breeds that kind of habit into people

01:03:09.560 once they've lived it long enough.

01:03:11.360 And you've got to break yourself out of that habit

01:03:13.340 when you have enough money.

01:03:15.000 Or, as happens with many people,

01:03:16.700 the more money that you have, the more expenses you have.

01:03:19.480 And now I have been set free because I'm in Swindon.

01:03:22.860 Yes, which is still a complete...

01:03:24.920 It's own kind of prison, really.

01:03:26.680 Yeah, but those without private or workplace pension

01:03:30.380 may have to rely on state pensions,

01:03:33.260 which you get after 35 years

01:03:35.060 of qualifying national insurance contributions

01:03:37.100 to get a full state pension.

01:03:38.480 So we'll see if any of these people are still here

01:03:40.320 in 35 years to claim on such a thing.

01:03:42.760 But what you get for that is £230.25 per week,

01:03:47.580 which is about £11,973 per year currently.

01:03:53.900 It's not livable, really.

01:03:55.140 You can't live on that.

01:03:55.860 Yeah, it's a subsidy more than anything.

01:03:58.540 Yeah, and this says the annual income needed

01:04:00.520 for a minimum retirement living standard,

01:04:02.920 so this is still living in squalor,

01:04:05.080 but you won't necessarily starve to death immediately,

01:04:08.020 is £13,400 a year.

01:04:11.100 And I don't know how you'd live on that anyway,

01:04:13.420 but that's what the statistics are saying here.

01:04:17.020 I'll take it at face value.

01:04:18.420 Either way, it means that you can't live.

01:04:21.100 You can't live on such a thing,

01:04:22.680 and people aren't saving.

01:04:24.400 So how are they going to live?

01:04:26.160 Well, they're going to live in the moment,

01:04:27.800 and when it comes to house buying,

01:04:29.340 there's something interesting,

01:04:30.400 another interesting thing that I found,

01:04:32.560 which is that certain people are beginning

01:04:34.080 to try to take money off of the mortgage

01:04:37.120 they have to pay by actually aiding

01:04:38.740 with the building of the houses.

01:04:40.560 And there is something kind of sweet

01:04:42.740 and community-focused around this,

01:04:45.560 but I think that the incentive for doing it

01:04:48.520 is completely backwards.

01:04:50.320 They're doing it because they have to

01:04:53.000 to take £10,000 off of a mortgage,

01:04:54.980 which can make a fair difference,

01:04:57.400 especially with all of the interest

01:04:58.820 that's added on to mortgages over the years.

01:05:00.940 So £10,000 could turn into

01:05:02.660 a lot more than £10,000 in interest.

01:05:05.240 So that's a big help to them,

01:05:07.420 but you should want to do something like this

01:05:10.220 because the culture that you live in

01:05:11.720 is community-focused,

01:05:12.920 and you innately want to help the people around you

01:05:15.500 to build a community.

01:05:16.880 Because people used to do this sort of thing all the time

01:05:18.780 back when we were more future-minded.

01:05:20.680 You recognised that your posterity was important,

01:05:23.660 that the community that you built

01:05:24.960 would have a lasting legacy,

01:05:26.740 and so you helped the other people in your community

01:05:28.840 to build lasting homes.

01:05:30.460 But back then we could reap what we sowed.

01:05:32.900 Exactly.

01:05:33.300 In a largely agrarian society,

01:05:36.100 that's also a literal claim as well.

01:05:37.960 And at the minute,

01:05:39.800 who can say that actually working hard pays off?

01:05:42.800 Is there any reason to work hard

01:05:44.760 and be successful in Britain?

01:05:45.940 Because there's such a low ceiling

01:05:48.480 on how successful you can be

01:05:50.120 that what's the point?

01:05:52.320 You know, there's no point in saving money.

01:05:54.600 There's no point in working hard.

01:05:56.460 Because at the end of the...

01:05:57.440 Not to sound too depressed here,

01:05:59.060 but at the end of the day,

01:06:00.340 the state is the only one that wins

01:06:01.940 because they're the ones that hoover up all the money.

01:06:04.240 Your average person is going to be

01:06:05.660 in some form of servitude by historic standards.

01:06:09.620 And then they're forced to watch

01:06:11.280 just illegal arrivals getting put in hotels, right?

01:06:14.560 And it just all adds to that resentment and doomerism.

01:06:17.120 And even more,

01:06:18.260 their jobs aren't fulfilling anyway.

01:06:19.900 So they don't have a more natural incentive 0.72

01:06:23.260 to work hard at their job.

01:06:24.600 Because a lot of these people 0.99

01:06:25.720 will be working bullshit jobs. 0.99

01:06:28.880 They'll be working jobs that have no real function 0.99

01:06:30.960 other than making sure

01:06:32.620 that you don't have to be on the dole right now.

01:06:34.900 Before we automate away your job,

01:06:37.000 we do kind of need someone filling in spreadsheets.

01:06:39.840 And we don't want you on the street

01:06:42.460 or making up dole numbers. 0.99

01:06:44.980 So we'll give you this bullshit job right now 0.99

01:06:47.860 so that you can have something to do. 0.99

01:06:49.120 But you're just filling in spreadsheets.

01:06:50.660 You're filling in spreadsheets

01:06:51.800 with people that you hate.

01:06:54.200 And so what's the incentive to work hard there either?

01:06:57.080 Whereas in the past,

01:06:58.780 you could do something fulfilling,

01:07:00.800 you could reap what you sowed,

01:07:02.660 and you would build a community

01:07:03.900 of like-minded people around you.

01:07:05.520 And you would also be building houses

01:07:07.400 that were built to last.

01:07:09.840 That can last generation upon generation.

01:07:12.360 Now these people,

01:07:13.560 as much as I admire what they're doing,

01:07:15.340 and I think it's good to have a buy-in

01:07:19.020 to where you're living.

01:07:21.100 You can look at it and say,

01:07:22.460 I helped create this.

01:07:23.920 That's great.

01:07:24.960 But ultimately what you're doing

01:07:26.460 is you're taking 10 grand off

01:07:27.800 by helping a new build contract company

01:07:31.580 build shitboxes.

01:07:33.760 Build Dino shitboxes. 0.79

01:07:35.800 I mean, there is some variation

01:07:37.600 in the quality of new builds,

01:07:38.820 but I wouldn't go for one

01:07:40.480 sort of instinctually

01:07:41.940 because you hear about all the problems

01:07:43.320 of the building quality.

01:07:45.080 And you see these videos

01:07:46.080 of building inspectors

01:07:47.320 and there's like entire walls of the house

01:07:49.220 are like not straight.

01:07:52.340 They're sort of bending outwards.

01:07:53.880 Like you see those Tudor buildings

01:07:56.560 that we still have start doing with age,

01:07:59.560 but brand new.

01:08:00.800 Here's a fun one.

01:08:02.100 In a flat that I used to live in,

01:08:04.120 it was a more new build style building.

01:08:07.260 I think it was maybe built 20 years ago,

01:08:09.400 maybe 15 years ago, right?

01:08:11.640 So we were living in there

01:08:13.180 and we had to take a meter reading

01:08:15.360 for the water,

01:08:16.680 for the water gauge.

01:08:17.820 For some reason,

01:08:19.780 the meter was in a drain.

01:08:23.820 Outside.

01:08:24.780 They fitted the meter in a drain?

01:08:26.980 It was either the water

01:08:30.080 or the electric.

01:08:31.740 It'd be even worse for the electric.

01:08:32.880 The meter.

01:08:34.000 One of the meters,

01:08:35.100 I forget exactly which,

01:08:36.400 was in a little drain outside

01:08:38.780 that was filled up with water.

01:08:41.640 So you couldn't get to it

01:08:42.780 and you couldn't see it.

01:08:43.600 We spoke to the building manager

01:08:45.220 about this

01:08:45.940 and they just kind of

01:08:46.940 shrugged their shoulders

01:08:47.620 and said,

01:08:48.260 the companies will just do an estimate

01:08:50.280 and charge you on the estimate.

01:08:52.320 Oh, that's okay then.

01:08:53.540 Oh, brilliant.

01:08:54.300 Okay, fantastic.

01:08:56.260 It was just such a confusing

01:08:59.760 and absurd situation to be in.

01:09:02.140 But, I mean,

01:09:03.260 that was, you know,

01:09:04.540 years ago

01:09:05.200 when the standards

01:09:06.320 for new build houses

01:09:07.820 were still that they had

01:09:08.800 to be able to stand

01:09:09.700 for 100 years.

01:09:11.520 That was back in the golden age.

01:09:13.600 Now they only have to stand

01:09:15.240 for 50 years

01:09:16.240 in good quality.

01:09:17.620 So they've reduced the standards

01:09:18.820 so that Angela Rayner

01:09:20.340 can make sure

01:09:20.940 that more of the countryside

01:09:21.940 gets paved over

01:09:22.920 for housing estates

01:09:24.440 more quickly.

01:09:25.600 For foreigners.

01:09:26.440 Yes.

01:09:27.340 So there's that,

01:09:29.160 which is quite sad.

01:09:30.340 There's also the food prices,

01:09:32.620 as mentioned.

01:09:33.620 So this is a fun one.

01:09:35.060 Rising meat and tea prices

01:09:36.340 have driven up

01:09:37.360 food price inflation

01:09:38.780 for the sixth consecutive month.

01:09:40.780 I like how they said

01:09:41.700 meat and tea.

01:09:43.520 It's like a targeted attack

01:09:45.060 on the English.

01:09:46.280 On the English.

01:09:46.820 Beef in particular

01:09:47.860 has risen.

01:09:48.520 Oh no.

01:09:48.900 So beef and tea

01:09:50.420 is flying.

01:09:52.760 Food prices rose by

01:09:54.500 4% in the year

01:09:55.740 to July

01:09:56.380 up from a 3.7%

01:09:57.940 in the year

01:09:58.500 to June

01:09:59.040 according to the latest

01:10:00.240 shop price monitor

01:10:01.200 from the British

01:10:02.460 Retail Consortium.

01:10:03.840 The new figures also

01:10:04.760 echo separate research

01:10:06.260 published last week

01:10:07.060 which found

01:10:07.660 household grocery bills

01:10:08.900 were on course

01:10:09.500 to rise by

01:10:10.100 £275 this year

01:10:12.160 so that's annual

01:10:12.920 grocery bills

01:10:13.840 but still

01:10:14.620 £275

01:10:16.120 nothing to sniff at

01:10:17.820 depending on where you live

01:10:19.040 that might be

01:10:20.160 a full month

01:10:20.820 of council tax.

01:10:22.480 But instead

01:10:23.020 you're having to spend

01:10:23.700 that on food instead.

01:10:24.720 That's about what I spend

01:10:25.580 on food in a month.

01:10:27.340 It's like an additional month

01:10:28.560 I've got to feed myself then.

01:10:31.020 Basically yes.

01:10:32.340 So that's

01:10:33.040 another thing

01:10:33.880 which is again 0.98

01:10:34.540 this is sucking up

01:10:35.460 any money

01:10:36.000 that could have gone

01:10:36.820 into savings

01:10:37.880 and then there's

01:10:38.700 the immense

01:10:39.820 government waste

01:10:40.900 that our tax money

01:10:41.760 is going on.

01:10:42.780 I mentioned council tax

01:10:43.940 what do you think

01:10:44.640 people in greater

01:10:45.420 Manchester are going

01:10:46.220 to be spending

01:10:46.680 their council tax on?

01:10:48.360 Is it rainbow something?

01:10:50.040 Or is it going to be eco?

01:10:52.000 The failed ULEZ scheme

01:10:53.740 having all of its

01:10:54.620 signs taken down.

01:10:56.940 Oh.

01:10:57.800 Yep.

01:10:58.600 So they put up

01:10:59.420 a few years ago

01:11:00.160 1,300 clean air zone signs

01:11:03.260 which had to be edited

01:11:04.240 so that they said

01:11:04.960 under review

01:11:05.600 after people complained

01:11:06.700 and now it's on hiatus

01:11:09.420 so they're taking

01:11:10.660 all of the signs down

01:11:11.920 which is going to cost

01:11:13.620 the public

01:11:15.120 600 grand.

01:11:18.320 That's just

01:11:19.140 excruciating.

01:11:20.380 Only one of the signs

01:11:21.560 is being repurposed.

01:11:24.200 Like can you

01:11:24.760 you

01:11:26.460 I don't know

01:11:28.500 I don't know

01:11:29.060 what to say about that.

01:11:30.240 They say we're going

01:11:30.840 to do this scheme

01:11:31.540 actually not

01:11:32.220 no we're not going

01:11:32.900 to do this scheme

01:11:33.600 I imagine it was

01:11:35.020 a similar cost

01:11:35.720 to put all of the signs

01:11:36.680 up in the first place.

01:11:37.640 Oh just a black hole

01:11:38.660 of money.

01:11:39.120 So that's just

01:11:39.520 a million pounds or so

01:11:41.160 down the drain

01:11:42.480 to put up

01:11:43.140 and take down

01:11:43.720 some signs.

01:11:44.560 How does it cost

01:11:45.500 600 grand

01:11:46.940 to take down signs?

01:11:48.600 This segment is like

01:11:49.700 they're not getting

01:11:50.300 paid that.

01:11:50.900 A way of

01:11:52.360 targetedly

01:11:53.280 you know

01:11:54.640 going after

01:11:55.420 everything that

01:11:56.220 makes me annoyed. 0.99

01:11:56.880 Oh your head 0.80

01:11:57.660 might just pop

01:11:58.320 at this next one

01:11:59.160 Josh.

01:11:59.680 Oh I've

01:12:00.180 unintentionally

01:12:00.920 foreshadowed it.

01:12:01.740 Yes

01:12:02.500 because this is

01:12:03.480 your next bit

01:12:04.200 which is

01:12:04.660 as well as

01:12:05.180 government waste

01:12:05.940 government bloat

01:12:07.600 civil service

01:12:09.760 numbers

01:12:10.160 at 20

01:12:11.160 year

01:12:11.820 high

01:12:12.460 thousands

01:12:13.680 of staff

01:12:14.400 have been hired

01:12:14.980 to Whitehall

01:12:15.640 in the past

01:12:16.240 year

01:12:17.220 with 75%

01:12:19.320 let me repeat

01:12:20.360 that

01:12:20.620 75%

01:12:22.580 of Whitehall

01:12:23.920 in management

01:12:25.180 roles or above.

01:12:26.160 So it really

01:12:27.060 is managerialism

01:12:28.640 right?

01:12:28.900 modern

01:12:29.600 technocratic

01:12:30.200 managerialism

01:12:31.140 is managers

01:12:32.080 hiring other

01:12:33.000 managers

01:12:33.480 that can

01:12:34.140 middle manage

01:12:34.760 other middle

01:12:35.520 managers

01:12:36.020 all the while

01:12:37.060 siphoning your

01:12:38.220 money for

01:12:38.780 themselves.

01:12:39.440 Let me just

01:12:39.860 go through a bit

01:12:40.660 of this.

01:12:41.220 There were

01:12:41.500 549,660

01:12:45.080 civil servants

01:12:45.820 at the end

01:12:46.580 of March

01:12:47.040 up 7,000

01:12:48.820 on the same

01:12:49.740 time last year

01:12:50.620 putting the

01:12:51.040 size of Whitehall

01:12:51.760 to a 20 year

01:12:52.560 high.

01:12:53.200 The civil service

01:12:54.000 has now grown

01:12:54.780 by a third

01:12:56.360 since Brexit.

01:12:57.380 This is insane.

01:12:59.980 And pay

01:13:00.600 rose 5%

01:13:02.180 last year.

01:13:03.260 Critics say

01:13:03.840 they are

01:13:04.180 over promoted

01:13:04.900 as a way

01:13:05.520 of boosting

01:13:06.100 salaries.

01:13:07.060 Really?

01:13:07.540 Who would

01:13:07.900 have guessed?

01:13:08.760 The latest

01:13:09.240 figures show

01:13:10.040 75% of staff

01:13:11.780 are in

01:13:12.500 management roles

01:13:13.320 or above

01:13:13.840 compared with

01:13:14.700 60% a decade

01:13:15.800 ago.

01:13:16.140 Still far too

01:13:16.800 much.

01:13:17.240 If everyone

01:13:17.880 is a manager

01:13:18.500 who's doing

01:13:19.000 the work

01:13:19.380 if everyone

01:13:20.640 is a manager

01:13:21.100 who is doing

01:13:21.600 the work

01:13:21.980 I'd rather

01:13:23.380 they not do

01:13:23.960 the work

01:13:24.260 to be honest.

01:13:25.340 The question

01:13:26.500 is if 25%

01:13:28.020 of your staff

01:13:28.900 are not

01:13:29.500 management

01:13:29.960 therefore the

01:13:31.200 people actually

01:13:31.920 doing the work

01:13:32.780 right?

01:13:34.480 Some of those

01:13:34.920 are probably

01:13:35.340 cleaners as well.

01:13:36.340 Some of those

01:13:36.840 are probably

01:13:37.120 cleaners.

01:13:37.560 Maintaining the

01:13:38.160 building.

01:13:38.880 Yeah.

01:13:39.420 So why do you

01:13:41.300 need all of this

01:13:41.860 management other

01:13:42.940 than for the sake

01:13:43.660 of having management

01:13:44.460 so that managers

01:13:45.280 can hire their

01:13:45.960 buddies?

01:13:46.380 It's also worth

01:13:46.900 mentioning as well

01:13:47.540 as technology's

01:13:48.420 got better you

01:13:50.020 should have a

01:13:50.700 smaller civil

01:13:51.340 service right?

01:13:52.140 You don't need

01:13:52.620 people to do all

01:13:53.340 the letter stuff

01:13:54.220 anymore because

01:13:54.820 it's all online.

01:13:55.520 The age of 0.80

01:13:57.140 the internet

01:13:57.660 the age of

01:13:58.200 technology should

01:13:59.760 mean that you

01:14:00.500 need less and

01:14:01.360 less stuff and

01:14:02.240 you make it

01:14:02.720 more efficient

01:14:03.280 and instead

01:14:04.340 we've got more

01:14:05.460 civil service per

01:14:06.460 capita than

01:14:07.140 probably ever.

01:14:08.440 Well you'd

01:14:08.760 think that that's

01:14:10.020 how it works

01:14:10.580 it turns out

01:14:11.220 in reality

01:14:11.840 no.

01:14:12.740 That's not how

01:14:13.580 it works.

01:14:14.080 Government will

01:14:14.460 bloat out until

01:14:15.320 it can't fit

01:14:15.860 through the door.

01:14:16.520 Because civil

01:14:17.100 service middle

01:14:17.860 management

01:14:18.360 everyone's

01:14:18.980 favourite kind

01:14:19.600 of management

01:14:20.100 the people who

01:14:20.960 really are 0.98

01:14:21.680 completely useless 0.98

01:14:23.380 waste to 0.93

01:14:24.980 society grew

01:14:26.220 5% last year

01:14:27.460 after doubling

01:14:28.300 over the

01:14:29.160 previous decade

01:14:30.060 pay at each

01:14:31.960 rank of the

01:14:32.440 service has

01:14:32.960 fallen significantly

01:14:33.940 in real terms

01:14:34.880 oh poor

01:14:35.940 Whitehall staffers

01:14:36.940 oh no poor

01:14:37.700 Whitehall the

01:14:38.620 overall pay bill

01:14:39.360 is now higher

01:14:40.040 than it was in

01:14:40.780 2010 as staff

01:14:42.040 become more

01:14:42.600 senior the

01:14:43.400 figures that

01:14:43.840 there's good

01:14:44.680 news though guys

01:14:45.340 there's good

01:14:45.800 news because

01:14:46.640 the civil service

01:14:48.200 is now far

01:14:49.280 more equitable

01:14:50.040 the figures do

01:14:51.300 show that civil

01:14:52.080 service is

01:14:52.660 becoming more

01:14:53.360 diverse

01:14:53.980 women now 1.00

01:14:55.520 make up 49%

01:14:57.340 of the senior

01:14:58.720 civil service

01:14:59.660 explaining why

01:15:00.740 everything has 0.99

01:15:01.680 gone to shit 0.98

01:15:02.520 a record 18% 0.99

01:15:04.760 of civil servants

01:15:05.680 are from ethnic

01:15:06.520 minorities

01:15:07.100 up from 11%

01:15:08.820 a decade ago

01:15:09.540 while the

01:15:09.820 proportion of

01:15:10.380 disabled staff

01:15:11.480 has doubled

01:15:12.400 to 18%

01:15:13.720 as well

01:15:14.060 that's 100%

01:15:15.220 of the civil

01:15:15.780 service I assume

01:15:16.700 only 18%

01:15:18.640 but you know

01:15:19.100 not every

01:15:19.740 disability is

01:15:20.620 visible

01:15:21.000 that's less

01:15:21.600 than the

01:15:21.920 average in

01:15:22.380 the country

01:15:22.900 isn't it

01:15:23.460 25%

01:15:24.420 across the

01:15:26.000 nation are

01:15:26.540 now disabled

01:15:27.660 in some way

01:15:28.380 because they

01:15:28.940 want that sweet 0.97

01:15:29.480 motability car

01:15:30.400 yeah so

01:15:31.120 we have no

01:15:32.360 future

01:15:32.940 but thank god

01:15:34.400 the civil

01:15:34.900 service is

01:15:35.640 thriving

01:15:36.160 well that was

01:15:39.580 bloody dismal 0.65

01:15:40.620 there you go

01:15:41.880 that was the

01:15:43.260 kick in the

01:15:43.720 teeth I needed 1.00

01:15:46.120 Josh has

01:17:17.060 good morning

01:17:19.300 lotus eaters

01:17:19.920 on this last

01:17:20.860 backpacking trip

01:17:21.700 I visited two

01:17:22.660 beautiful alpine

01:17:23.820 lakes before making

01:17:24.840 the poor decision

01:17:25.820 to stay the night

01:17:26.620 by the third

01:17:27.260 the first stop

01:17:28.360 was surprise lake

01:17:29.500 which was very

01:17:30.180 active with fish

01:17:31.200 you could see them

01:17:32.280 from the shore

01:17:32.940 through the crystal

01:17:33.660 clear water

01:17:34.540 further up the

01:17:35.720 mountain was

01:17:36.200 glacier lake

01:17:37.100 which was far

01:17:37.760 less popular

01:17:38.500 and while the

01:17:39.520 mosquitoes weren't

01:17:40.320 the best at the

01:17:41.200 other two lakes

01:17:42.000 it was the third

01:17:42.920 lake

01:17:43.360 deception lakes

01:17:44.520 where they were

01:17:45.000 the absolute

01:17:45.640 worst

01:17:46.300 hope you guys

01:17:47.200 are having a

01:17:47.600 good week so

01:17:48.180 far

01:17:48.400 it's absolutely

01:17:49.880 gorgeous

01:17:50.400 it makes me

01:17:51.040 feel very jealous

01:17:51.940 but I've learnt

01:17:53.400 this lesson

01:17:53.880 I've camped near

01:17:54.680 a lake before

01:17:55.400 and I came back

01:17:56.260 looking like I

01:17:56.920 had chicken pox

01:17:57.840 so yes

01:17:58.980 camping near water

01:17:59.980 although convenient

01:18:00.960 it's definitely not

01:18:02.700 something you should

01:18:03.140 do because you

01:18:04.000 will get bitten

01:18:04.660 if it's the wrong

01:18:05.720 time of year

01:18:06.280 you can go up to

01:18:07.380 Scotland and the

01:18:08.040 air is literally

01:18:08.600 thick

01:18:09.140 it's like soup

01:18:11.040 you can't even

01:18:11.940 see through it

01:18:12.640 it's just a black 0.99

01:18:13.480 it's like someone

01:18:14.400 left the static

01:18:15.040 on the TV

01:18:15.680 except it's all

01:18:16.400 of Scotland

01:18:16.800 hi guys

01:18:33.220 need followers

01:18:48.200 I'd like to see

01:18:48.980 yeah there you go

01:18:49.960 everyone go and

01:18:50.900 follow it

01:18:51.520 on social media

01:18:52.500 he's got

01:18:53.100 you know

01:18:53.740 he's a one man

01:18:54.560 army to

01:18:55.320 to cure

01:18:55.940 the inability

01:18:57.320 to get a job

01:18:58.480 as a white man

01:18:59.140 in publishing

01:18:59.660 or well

01:19:00.680 video games as well

01:19:01.840 it's going that way too

01:19:02.820 hang on a minute

01:19:03.480 what's this

01:19:04.080 is this

01:19:04.620 is this a

01:19:05.260 brainiac science

01:19:06.020 abuse reference

01:19:06.980 things that make

01:19:08.480 you go

01:19:08.860 it is

01:19:10.260 yep

01:19:10.500 15 year old

01:19:12.320 Chris Donald

01:19:12.720 was kidnapped

01:19:13.060 on the 15th

01:19:13.780 March 2004

01:19:14.480 by five Pakistani

01:19:15.240 men

01:19:15.560 and was eventually

01:19:16.060 restrained

01:19:16.500 then mortally wounded

01:19:17.260 for stabbing

01:19:17.820 before being set

01:19:18.440 on fire

01:19:18.820 his murder

01:19:19.400 was an act

01:19:19.840 of revenge

01:19:20.260 and Chris

01:19:20.640 was chosen

01:19:21.020 because he was

01:19:21.500 white

01:19:21.760 not because

01:19:22.160 he was involved

01:19:22.760 this was clearly

01:19:23.500 an organised

01:19:23.960 and premeditated

01:19:24.620 murder

01:19:24.980 although the police

01:19:25.560 nearly stopped

01:19:26.040 an investigation

01:19:26.580 into Asian gangs

01:19:27.360 to avoid offending

01:19:28.020 ethnic minorities

01:19:28.660 what makes this

01:19:29.540 case notable

01:19:30.060 is it was the

01:19:30.620 first conviction

01:19:31.200 for racially

01:19:31.740 motivated murder

01:19:32.460 in Scotland

01:19:32.960 which is odd

01:19:33.700 which is odd

01:19:33.720 because I've

01:19:34.060 always been told

01:19:34.500 that hate

01:19:34.780 crime laws

01:19:35.100 were there

01:19:35.380 to stop 0.51

01:19:35.640 white people 0.98

01:19:36.040 from

01:19:36.220 that was tonal

01:19:41.880 whiplash

01:19:42.520 I thought that

01:19:44.100 was going to be

01:19:44.640 fun 0.59

01:19:45.280 what the hell

01:19:46.860 it was a murder

01:19:48.060 but I didn't know

01:19:49.520 about that case

01:19:50.140 to be fair

01:19:50.600 and that was

01:19:51.380 very interesting

01:19:51.960 so thank you

01:19:52.400 I mean that was

01:19:53.100 interesting

01:19:53.800 but still

01:19:56.020 murder murder murder

01:19:57.620 like a box

01:19:59.700 of chocolates

01:20:00.760 both are more fun

01:20:03.400 when you add

01:20:04.000 some steroids

01:20:05.040 from that day on

01:20:07.960 if I was going

01:20:09.180 somewhere

01:20:09.880 I was lifting

01:20:12.180 lift force

01:20:13.980 lift

01:20:14.960 Jenny and me

01:20:15.800 was like

01:20:16.240 cops and protein

01:20:17.680 she taught me

01:20:18.780 about macros

01:20:19.960 I showed her

01:20:20.940 how to bench press

01:20:22.180 I stopped

01:20:23.380 hanging out

01:20:24.060 with Luke

01:20:24.520 and Dane

01:20:25.260 when I heard

01:20:25.980 he skips

01:20:26.580 leg day

01:20:27.360 did you make that

01:20:31.300 or did you find

01:20:32.160 that on Instagram

01:20:32.840 or something

01:20:33.620 brilliant

01:20:34.340 either way

01:20:34.960 that's great

01:20:35.500 really really funny

01:20:36.740 back to the start

01:20:39.440 yep

01:20:39.700 okay

01:20:40.220 so

01:20:41.380 Lotus Eater's

01:20:42.300 video comments

01:20:42.940 are like a box

01:20:43.580 of chocolates

01:20:44.160 you really

01:20:45.220 never know

01:20:45.720 what you're

01:20:46.160 gonna get

01:20:46.600 so from my

01:20:48.400 segment

01:20:48.740 Zesty King

01:20:49.300 says

01:20:49.760 left wingers

01:20:50.720 cannot ideologically

01:20:51.720 defend themselves

01:20:52.880 from even

01:20:54.700 their more

01:20:55.800 extreme forms

01:20:56.700 many may

01:20:57.620 say they

01:20:58.280 disagree

01:20:58.660 with communism

01:20:59.420 foreign takeover

01:21:00.540 and the

01:21:00.940 complete destruction

01:21:01.960 of the only 0.92

01:21:02.980 Jewish state

01:21:03.600 but none

01:21:04.160 can say why

01:21:05.020 they do not

01:21:05.780 understand the

01:21:06.500 world outside

01:21:07.120 of themselves

01:21:07.740 and that is

01:21:08.920 why they are

01:21:09.820 weak

01:21:10.180 yeah it's

01:21:11.320 entirely just

01:21:12.220 born out of

01:21:12.880 just their own

01:21:13.580 individual needs

01:21:14.540 for what they

01:21:15.060 think will make

01:21:15.660 their own

01:21:16.400 life better

01:21:17.480 you know

01:21:18.320 you see this

01:21:19.040 and it's like

01:21:19.460 oh no

01:21:19.900 this entire

01:21:20.500 party

01:21:21.080 it just

01:21:22.180 needs to

01:21:22.760 exist to

01:21:23.340 defend my

01:21:24.100 gay rights

01:21:25.000 or whatever

01:21:25.760 it is

01:21:26.260 Luca I

01:21:27.180 didn't know

01:21:27.780 you went

01:21:28.120 that way

01:21:28.840 Clive Adams

01:21:31.460 in his

01:21:33.060 2003 book

01:21:34.180 Revolutionary

01:21:35.000 Islam

01:21:35.360 Carlos de

01:21:36.460 Jackal called

01:21:37.340 on all

01:21:38.200 revolutionaries

01:21:39.020 including those

01:21:39.840 on the left

01:21:40.380 even atheists

01:21:41.500 to accept

01:21:42.180 the leadership

01:21:43.100 of Islamists 0.91

01:21:44.000 and the only

01:21:44.720 transnational

01:21:45.700 force

01:21:46.180 capable of

01:21:47.440 standing up

01:21:48.160 against the

01:21:48.780 enslavement

01:21:49.300 of nations

01:21:49.860 he believes

01:21:50.680 that combining

01:21:51.320 Islamism and

01:21:52.200 Marxism

01:21:52.840 would form

01:21:53.500 a global

01:21:54.100 anti-imperialist

01:21:55.500 front

01:21:56.440 capable of

01:21:57.640 destroying

01:21:58.100 the United

01:21:58.840 States

01:21:59.380 globalization

01:22:00.160 and imperialism

01:22:02.240 way to make

01:22:03.040 me root for

01:22:03.480 globalization

01:22:04.320 it's like

01:22:05.400 yeah

01:22:05.620 do you want

01:22:06.440 to be an

01:22:06.840 Islamic

01:22:07.480 Marxist

01:22:08.400 I'll take

01:22:09.880 the other

01:22:10.320 thing

01:22:10.640 I'll take

01:22:11.360 what I've

01:22:11.700 got at the

01:22:12.080 minute

01:22:12.260 over that

01:22:12.720 thanks

01:22:13.140 maybe I

01:22:14.560 am a

01:22:14.840 neoliberal

01:22:15.300 after all

01:22:16.740 maybe Iraq

01:22:18.100 did have

01:22:18.740 weapons of

01:22:19.320 mass destruction

01:22:20.000 Grant Gibson

01:22:21.920 says isn't

01:22:22.700 Jezza's 1.00

01:22:23.480 Jezza Corbin's

01:22:24.860 brother extremely

01:22:25.800 based

01:22:26.380 I wonder which

01:22:27.700 child their

01:22:28.200 parents are

01:22:28.720 disappointed in

01:22:29.520 I think he's

01:22:30.160 still kind of 0.98

01:22:30.780 insane

01:22:31.320 yeah he's

01:22:31.960 just very

01:22:32.460 erratic

01:22:32.860 yeah but he

01:22:33.680 can be based

01:22:34.720 on something

01:22:35.360 yeah

01:22:35.660 he doesn't

01:22:36.120 like cashlessness

01:22:37.080 and the

01:22:38.300 covid stuff

01:22:39.300 I think he's

01:22:39.860 also pretty

01:22:40.760 firmly in the

01:22:41.960 other camp on

01:22:42.540 the environment

01:22:43.140 stuff as well

01:22:44.220 okay

01:22:44.620 he wants to

01:22:45.780 destroy the

01:22:46.500 environment

01:22:46.980 no he's just

01:22:48.080 against the

01:22:48.760 net zero

01:22:49.480 stuff

01:22:49.880 oh okay 0.67

01:22:50.580 he kicks

01:22:51.280 squirrels

01:22:52.160 and reckless

01:22:53.360 abandoners

01:22:53.960 and burns

01:22:54.280 trees

01:22:54.920 you know I

01:22:55.900 don't like the

01:22:56.480 grey squirrels

01:22:57.060 as much as

01:22:57.420 the next guy

01:22:57.900 I would still

01:22:58.580 feel bad 0.99

01:22:59.120 kicking them 0.98

01:22:59.860 he cuts his 0.94

01:23:00.580 grass he

01:23:01.100 laughs because

01:23:01.800 he's cutting

01:23:02.260 them into

01:23:02.920 tiny pieces

01:23:03.780 well he's got

01:23:04.840 them strapped

01:23:05.500 down like a

01:23:06.300 saw film or

01:23:07.220 something

01:23:07.440 they see the

01:23:08.640 moa coming

01:23:09.260 and they

01:23:09.500 can't do

01:23:09.920 anything about

01:23:10.600 it

01:23:11.080 do you want

01:23:12.600 to read through

01:23:12.960 yours Josh

01:23:13.440 of course

01:23:14.120 Matt D says

01:23:15.720 having lived in

01:23:16.280 Japan since

01:23:16.820 2018 I have

01:23:17.780 seen the massive

01:23:18.300 influx of unskilled

01:23:19.220 migrants working

01:23:20.440 on farms who

01:23:21.200 can't speak any

01:23:21.820 Japanese and who

01:23:22.540 have been bought

01:23:23.060 over for cheap

01:23:24.080 labour I went

01:23:25.000 out of my way to

01:23:25.640 learn how to

01:23:26.040 speak Japanese

01:23:26.640 fluently and

01:23:27.220 integrated with

01:23:27.800 the locals the

01:23:28.480 vast majority of

01:23:29.160 my friends are

01:23:29.680 Japanese why 0.94

01:23:30.980 would they not

01:23:31.480 be knowing

01:23:32.400 what's happened

01:23:32.860 in the UK I'm

01:23:33.520 really worried

01:23:33.960 about the future

01:23:34.500 of the country

01:23:35.080 I think the

01:23:36.540 Japanese are

01:23:37.080 actually much

01:23:38.360 more prepared

01:23:38.880 and also they're

01:23:39.920 much less lame

01:23:41.220 when it comes to

01:23:42.080 like oh this is

01:23:43.500 rude to foreigners 1.00

01:23:44.660 you know they're

01:23:46.040 much more willing

01:23:46.640 to do that if

01:23:47.560 it's in

01:23:48.340 preservation of

01:23:49.580 their way of

01:23:50.280 life and they've

01:23:50.980 it seems like

01:23:53.140 it's a lot more

01:23:53.740 homogenous as well

01:23:54.740 in that we do

01:23:55.820 have a politeness

01:23:56.440 culture in Britain

01:23:57.160 but sometimes the

01:23:58.080 dirty proles ruin

01:23:59.040 it and don't

01:23:59.600 adhere to it even

01:24:00.860 without immigration 1.00

01:24:01.780 and so there's this

01:24:03.220 sort of broken

01:24:03.720 window effect where

01:24:04.520 people are less

01:24:05.220 focused on preserving

01:24:06.160 it and I think

01:24:07.460 that that's not the

01:24:08.040 case in Japan

01:24:08.620 Alex Ptolemy says

01:24:10.860 did you see the

01:24:11.720 videos of the white

01:24:12.660 immigrants to Japan

01:24:13.600 who went to some

01:24:14.120 of the recent

01:24:14.540 anti-migration

01:24:15.980 protests telling the

01:24:17.340 Japanese people I

01:24:18.100 probably pay more

01:24:18.740 tax than you I

01:24:19.540 contribute I'm more

01:24:21.980 Japanese than you 0.66

01:24:23.040 are it's very

01:24:24.040 jarring to see a

01:24:24.940 white man using the

01:24:26.120 foreign takeover my

01:24:27.160 diversity built your

01:24:28.020 nation rhetoric but I

01:24:29.440 think we can use

01:24:30.260 that video to further

01:24:31.320 our ends by showing

01:24:32.220 it to others it

01:24:33.220 makes it incredibly

01:24:33.840 clear how egregious

01:24:34.880 the lie like

01:24:35.860 Windrush built 1.00

01:24:36.660 Britain really are 0.96

01:24:37.560 the funny thing is

01:24:39.100 you look at the

01:24:39.760 Windrush stuff they 1.00

01:24:41.040 were like we want

01:24:41.860 bin men and bus

01:24:42.720 drivers I'm sorry

01:24:44.120 as important as

01:24:45.560 those jobs are it's

01:24:46.620 not building the

01:24:47.280 country is it

01:24:48.400 someone could fill

01:24:49.640 it sure it is

01:24:50.600 important and I

01:24:51.740 respect the people

01:24:52.320 who do it but you

01:24:54.340 haven't built the

01:24:55.000 country it did exist

01:24:55.920 before and in fact

01:24:57.260 also we weren't

01:24:58.120 asking them to be

01:24:58.960 bin men and bus

01:25:00.800 drivers they came

01:25:01.800 over here wanting

01:25:02.660 to be bin men and 0.97

01:25:03.800 bus drivers and

01:25:04.500 corner shops and it

01:25:05.240 almost started a

01:25:05.980 governmental crisis

01:25:07.100 where they almost

01:25:07.860 turned them away

01:25:08.680 how do we send

01:25:10.360 them like off course

01:25:11.720 to Africa wasn't

01:25:13.000 it Atlee was one of

01:25:14.220 the ones who who

01:25:15.520 was a bit in

01:25:17.260 between on it it

01:25:18.000 was actually I

01:25:18.580 believe the head of

01:25:19.840 the labor department

01:25:21.680 at the time who

01:25:23.040 was saying well this

01:25:23.920 is obviously going to

01:25:24.840 destruct labor and 0.93

01:25:25.840 push down costs if

01:25:26.960 we start to admit

01:25:27.700 these kinds of

01:25:28.380 people in here so

01:25:29.640 we should turn them 0.91

01:25:30.360 away whereas Atlee

01:25:31.140 was like what's

01:25:32.940 the harm right

01:25:35.080 I'm sure he did it

01:25:35.740 just like that as

01:25:36.600 well yeah that's how

01:25:38.180 he was known to be

01:25:38.940 finally Kevin Fox

01:25:40.380 says the stuff about

01:25:41.140 not allowing foreigners 1.00

01:25:41.980 to purchase land or

01:25:42.800 property or get

01:25:43.580 permanent leave to

01:25:44.340 remain is standard

01:25:45.280 procedure in Thailand

01:25:46.180 if you want to

01:25:47.720 retire there and buy

01:25:49.140 a house you need a

01:25:50.340 tie to do it for you

01:25:52.020 usually some bar girl 1.00

01:25:53.440 wife and property 0.95

01:25:54.680 goes in her name

01:25:55.780 the drawback is when

01:25:56.900 she fancies something

01:25:58.240 a bit younger you're 0.99

01:25:59.400 screwed if you want 0.99

01:26:00.060 the house back 0.51

01:26:00.680 because it's not in

01:26:01.400 your name yeah

01:26:03.040 true there are two

01:26:04.380 other comments that

01:26:05.240 I want to read from

01:26:06.000 yours okay in stuff

01:26:08.140 that I'm interested in

01:26:08.940 both from Sophie live

01:26:10.020 first of all Japan is

01:26:11.640 probably the only

01:26:12.180 country in the world

01:26:12.900 who portrays Germany

01:26:13.880 favorably in fiction

01:26:15.160 weirdly enough

01:26:15.780 probably more so than

01:26:16.800 even Germany itself

01:26:17.820 attack on Titan and

01:26:19.040 full metal alchemist

01:26:19.840 are both both based

01:26:20.880 on the German military

01:26:22.460 state of the mid

01:26:23.260 century which is why

01:26:24.400 characters have German

01:26:25.440 names attack on Titan

01:26:26.720 I'm pretty sure I will

01:26:27.600 be doing a video on

01:26:28.580 that at some point

01:26:29.400 is is like written

01:26:31.600 by an actual like

01:26:32.460 Japanese nationalist

01:26:33.360 as well and a full

01:26:34.980 metal alchemist I've

01:26:35.900 watched brotherhood

01:26:36.740 which is an excellent

01:26:37.700 series it is very good

01:26:38.860 it's actually there's

01:26:39.600 only two animes that

01:26:40.660 I've seen it's that

01:26:41.500 one and Jojo so I

01:26:43.420 agree with you I've

01:26:44.400 not watched Jojo

01:26:45.380 portrayal is pretty

01:26:46.500 wild Sophie by saying

01:26:48.680 Jojo's bizarre

01:26:49.420 adventure portrays

01:26:50.420 Nazis is what how

01:26:51.800 they portray them is 0.84

01:26:52.780 wild that's very

01:26:54.160 interesting because I've

01:26:54.980 not watched it so

01:26:56.060 that should be that

01:26:57.680 should be fun when I

01:26:58.520 eventually get around

01:26:59.280 to watching it years

01:27:00.520 from now and also she

01:27:01.720 says speaking of Japan

01:27:02.720 years after Harry and

01:27:03.960 Connor talked about

01:27:04.700 Berserk I'm actually in

01:27:06.040 the process of reading

01:27:06.960 it I'm horrified yet

01:27:08.560 can't put it down

01:27:09.460 thanks Harry you owe

01:27:10.860 me three kilos of

01:27:11.960 coping chocolate no I

01:27:13.500 don't and you're

01:27:14.760 welcome welcome to

01:27:16.180 being a Berserk fan

01:27:17.400 where you're horrified

01:27:18.600 by everything that's

01:27:19.740 happening on the page 0.86

01:27:20.620 but it's just so damn

01:27:22.000 good it's so compelling

01:27:23.300 you can't not read it

01:27:24.960 Kevin Fox for my

01:27:27.000 segment now the

01:27:27.660 problem with the

01:27:28.060 spend spend spend

01:27:28.740 plan is that now at

01:27:30.160 least three banks

01:27:31.060 NatWest Santander and

01:27:33.100 another won't let you

01:27:34.560 draw over 80 quid or

01:27:36.020 transfer it without

01:27:36.820 telling them what it's

01:27:37.740 for thankfully I don't

01:27:40.140 have to experience that

01:27:41.060 Zesty King the only

01:27:42.240 future I see is that

01:27:43.740 the short term I'm 25

01:27:46.200 and don't think I'll

01:27:47.000 ever own a house have a

01:27:48.700 family or have a high

01:27:49.700 paying job so why

01:27:50.540 bother instead I'm

01:27:51.520 buying food water and

01:27:52.760 planning on how to

01:27:53.380 protect my immediate

01:27:54.080 family for the

01:27:54.720 turbulent road ahead

01:27:55.600 well I can hope only

01:27:56.660 hope that things

01:27:57.260 change for you there

01:27:58.080 because honestly

01:27:58.600 family makes you feel

01:27:59.580 better I'm 30 and in

01:28:00.880 the same boat almost

01:28:18.820 creaky joints I've

01:28:19.800 even got one gray hair

01:28:21.060 oh my lord Peter Harvey

01:28:23.640 part ownership is a

01:28:25.640 scam it's an attempt

01:28:26.400 to escape the

01:28:26.920 restrictions coming to

01:28:27.920 leasehold by forcefully

01:28:29.100 owning part of your

01:28:29.920 property they can

01:28:30.540 charge you a rent on

01:28:31.420 that portion forever

01:28:32.300 once you buy a shared

01:28:33.140 property it's almost

01:28:34.320 impossible to sell

01:28:35.280 yes

01:28:35.780 Jimbo G they'll come

01:28:37.280 for the state pension

01:28:37.980 entirely then they will

01:28:39.160 means test private

01:28:40.340 pensions it's never

01:28:41.460 your money once they've

01:28:42.620 pissed it all away and

01:28:43.580 if there's one

01:28:44.020 government one thing

01:28:45.060 government is great at

01:28:45.900 pissing away money

01:28:50.280 regarding council tax

01:28:51.220 part of what is

01:28:52.840 portions of it is

01:28:53.700 adult and children's

01:28:54.760 social care and

01:28:55.360 support I've heard

01:28:56.400 figures as high as

01:28:57.220 75% of all council

01:28:59.320 spending from some

01:29:00.140 no prizes for guessing

01:29:01.300 what parts of the

01:29:01.940 country this is
