Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1227 for Monday the 11th of
00:00:10.300
August 2025. I'm your host Luca, bookended today by the beards, Beau and Louis.
00:00:19.380
Just complimenting one another's beard game before we came on, I felt very insecure I
00:00:24.160
have to say. But nonetheless, we're all going to be talking today about the hotel protests seem to
00:00:31.760
just grow bigger and bigger every single week and it's very, very encouraging. We're then going to
00:00:37.520
talk about Labour's most recent scrap of red meat that's definitely going to calm everything right
1.00
00:00:44.460
down. And then we're going to go through the NGOs who are steering UK's immigration policy. We're
00:00:52.320
going to name them aren't we? We are going to name them. And infinitely shame them. All right. So with
00:00:58.460
that all said, let's begin the first segment. So as you all know, starting several weeks ago now,
00:01:04.260
things really heated up when that horrendous story came out about the alleged sexual assaults that
00:01:10.620
were happening in Epping, of course. And ever since then, the people of Epping came out very,
00:01:16.780
very well as a community, totally organically, grassroots, and just through their exemplary
00:01:23.800
display, you know, have, I think, really inspired a lot of people around the country. Because of
00:01:31.380
course, there's really no place in the country now that isn't touched by the problem of these
00:01:37.940
illegal hotels. They're everywhere. I mean, you know, obviously, there's the large, as you always say,
00:01:42.780
the larger problem of legal mass immigration. But it's these particular unknowns and people who
00:01:50.320
just seem to be obviously criminal. Well, they are criminal because they're in illegally, right?
00:01:55.800
But just every single day, there's a story about them doing something, some girl being put in harm's
00:02:02.380
way. And on and on it goes. So the protests are growing. And the you know that things are getting
00:02:09.100
all quite hot under the collar, when the Guardian starts to worry. But before we talk about the
00:02:16.080
Guardian, and they're worrying, I should tell you about something far better that you could be
00:02:21.540
reading, which is, of course, Islander Magazine, the fourth issue that we've got out now. And Rory has
00:02:28.240
done a wonderful job with all of the graphics inside, wonderful, wonderful displays, and some terrific
00:02:35.520
essays to go with them. So if you're interested in reading them, you can go to the website. It's $14.99.
00:02:42.800
Absolute bargain for the quality that you're getting, if I do say so myself. And you can also
00:02:48.160
go and support us by buying things from the merch store, as well as t-shirts, mugs, all sorts of great
00:02:59.520
As time is, once it's gone, it's gone. And when it goes, if you haven't got it, you'll
00:03:07.760
You'll have to go on eBay and pay like $200 a pop.
00:03:10.900
That's so cool though, isn't it? Right? Like selling out completely and then having to go
00:03:15.480
on eBay to like, I don't know, scalping, scalping Lotus Eater's stuff.
00:03:20.820
So get it now. Anyway, let's talk about a far more disreputable outfit compared to
00:03:27.480
of course, which is the Guardian. And the Guardian are a little bit worried because you
00:03:32.180
could see in anxious of what was going to happen this weekend. Police in England brace
00:03:38.320
for disorder as far right that promotes the anti-migrant protests. Same old, same old.
00:03:44.360
They never change, do they? They go on to say that police are braced for potential disorder
00:03:48.740
in towns across England this weekend amid the far right's promotion of a range of protests
00:03:54.780
against asylum seekers with anti-racist, well, rape, pro-rape activists is really what they
00:04:01.840
are, planning counter-protests. Restrictions will be in place on Friday at locations including
00:04:08.400
Norwich, while officers will police at least 12 other towns and cities that evening. There
00:04:16.460
is particular concerns around a planned protest on Saturday at council offices in Nuneaton where
00:04:25.100
Warwickshire police have dismissed claims by a Reform UK council leader that the force held
00:04:30.200
back information over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl. Right? So again, stories like this
00:04:38.280
all over the country. The chair of the National Police Chiefs Council Operations Coordination Committee,
00:04:46.920
Chief Constable BJ Harrington said, we urge communities to carefully consider the information they read,
00:04:54.840
share and trust from online sources. It is essential to remain aware of the potential motivation behind such content.
00:05:04.120
I would consider it to be really, really angry about all the rape, actually, Mr Harrington. I think that's where most of the concern comes from.
00:05:12.760
It's interesting that we do live in a world now, don't we, where wherever you should have always been the case, but it didn't used to be particularly. But yeah, you have to look at the source. I mean, being a history nerd, I've been sort of trained to do that since A-level, undergrad days anyway. Look at who's saying the thing and who they are, and then look at the thing, or in tandem at least. So yeah, always do that. Yeah.
00:05:39.760
Right. Yeah, always. Sure. Fine. But even if...
00:05:43.600
They're sort of saying for the mainstream media, or if it's The Guardian, don't do that on...
00:05:47.640
Oh yeah, never do that. Never do that. Because they're never wrong.
00:05:50.900
If you're not getting your information direct from Mariana Spring, then you're not, you've got the wrong information.
00:05:57.400
Please tune in to BBC Verify every single day for your latest updates.
00:06:11.580
But as we've pointed out, as Josh compiles here, just taking a story from consecutive days,
00:06:21.360
And there is a story of sexual assault, or far worse, behind each and every one of them.
00:06:28.900
Because we are swamped now with all of these illegal hotels.
00:06:32.600
And frankly, in many, many cases, they are positioned in places that put children at risk.
00:06:41.160
Such as the one in Epping, of course, with the school just being around the corner.
00:06:49.120
And you can see this graphic here, where they talk about abolishing the asylum system.
00:07:13.280
Anyway, and the anti-racist protesters took the no masks part personally.
00:07:17.420
Because that seems to be the only way that they ever turn up.
00:07:22.680
But yeah, and as you can see here on the right as well, we have a number of different protests
00:07:34.260
And that didn't actually seem to have really materialized into anything.
00:07:38.040
However, for the other parts, there is a lot going on here.
00:07:46.320
And the Epping council wrote a letter to Yvette Cooper saying,
00:07:52.560
We support the Home Office's wider objective of reducing reliance on the hotels, and they're
00:07:59.340
However, we urge you to accelerate this process and to make the Bell Hotel in Epping a priority
00:08:09.040
It's vital that this location is reconsidered, considering the operational realities on the ground.
00:08:15.460
We urge that the Bell Hotel be made a priority for urgent decommissioning.
00:08:20.540
The public trust, our community's cohesion, and the operational integrity of Essex Police depend on it.
00:08:39.500
The thing is, to add quickly, there is obviously a big concern with the people protesting as
00:08:46.500
well, that once a hotel like this gets decommissioned, like you mentioned, where are the illegals going
00:08:56.080
They don't just, yeah, they go, they'll just be bussed to another location.
00:09:00.920
And I think that a lot of the protesters, from what I've seen in some clips, have been
00:09:05.080
saying, well, this is not what we want as well.
00:09:07.920
We don't just want, it's not just about this hotel, it's about the wider, broader scope.
00:09:12.840
So I think that's important as well to mention.
00:09:16.480
In a way, it's even more, I don't know, like pernicious or something to take a big group
00:09:24.080
of like 30 or 100 or 200 of these illegal boat invaders, and they're all in one place,
0.62
00:09:34.780
So yeah, they just smear it across loads and loads of smaller villages somewhere else.
00:09:45.020
And you see this with that groundbreaking deal that Starmer made with Macron.
00:09:52.240
It's clear that as far as the actual government are concerned, their problem isn't with the
00:09:58.880
It's just with the fact that it's the illegality of the thing.
00:10:02.480
If they all came by safe and legal routes, then we would happily, no, we want them gone.
00:10:14.080
Well, we quite often here at Lotus Eaters are at pains to say, you know, we're perfectly
00:10:24.220
Because as you say, if a lot of these people had their way, people like Corbyn or whoever
00:10:28.480
or secure, they would just have safe and legal routes.
00:10:33.700
So, but we would still have the exact same issue.
00:10:35.800
You're still importing sex criminals into our country.
1.00
00:10:46.240
And so, as you can see here, we've got a protest still carrying on in Epping.
00:10:57.520
So now we've got protests happening in Norwich, right, as well.
00:11:01.460
And it's going to, you see there, only 15 stand up to racism clowns.
00:11:10.780
Even if it's just 15 of them, every town, there's some of them there, same placards.
00:11:17.380
It's like, well, they all came to different towns, but they haven't brought their own homemade placards.
00:11:22.620
Now, they've all got the uniform placards from the NGOs, the charities, funding them,
00:11:33.840
But if you just look at the, sorry, it's supposed to be about there.
00:11:39.460
And the turnout is really impressive, where, if the camera will pan away, there we go.
00:11:51.040
And these will all just be on, I would have thought largely, just genuine local people.
00:12:03.300
And bear in mind as well that Norwich, as things stand currently, don't get me wrong, it's not been entirely shielded,
00:12:12.060
but it's still a very British part of the country, right?
00:12:14.880
It's not quite Cornwall and Devon or Cumbria, but it's still pretty British, right?
00:12:23.540
East Anglia is one of the, I would say, one of the heartlands among, yeah, for sure.
00:12:28.480
Yeah, I'm just saying it's not had those huge waves of mass immigration yet, like the North, like London.
00:12:36.340
Anyway, so, but then we get to what happened at Nuneaton.
00:12:40.440
And I'm going to play this with volume, because it's a remarkable exchange.
00:13:15.300
I appreciate you're at work, but Warwickshire have asked me to come round and just face it.
00:13:22.000
It's a load of ice, mate, but it's about this protest tomorrow in Warwickshire.
00:13:27.200
And just saying, obviously, that they're aware that you might be wanting to attend that planned protest,
00:13:34.880
You've got freedom of speech, and that's no issue to talk.
00:13:37.700
And all they've asked me to do, mate, it sounds definite, so I apologise, and it's really woeful.
00:13:42.580
It's not something I agree with, but I've been asked to do it.
00:13:45.580
It's just to drop a leaflet about being involved in a protest.
00:13:52.920
Take it back to them, and write back on it to them, say, we will no longer be silent,
00:14:07.180
The solemn majority of Britain will no longer stay silent.
00:14:17.380
Do you know, like, I heard about this exchange, and I didn't watch the full video,
00:14:23.280
but I didn't realise that the guy laughed and was like, I'm sorry to have to do this.
00:14:28.360
Like, because clearly it's orders from the ups.
00:14:30.560
And you can tell this police officer here is just totally embarrassed by the entire situation.
00:14:42.260
Yeah, he's, that cop, he's obviously completely embarrassed.
00:14:46.380
And, yeah, took what the guy said, laughed and laughed.
00:14:50.400
It's great because in history, often the revolutions only really work when the Cossacks,
1.00
00:14:56.580
the police, the soldiers, when they're on board, when they're on side with the protesters,
00:15:07.220
So it's very, I mean, this guy, that's just great to see.
00:15:13.920
I mean, fair play to the policeman for treating it like the farce it is.
00:15:18.320
He's done this, he's obeyed his orders, but he's also shown that he's just obviously
00:15:28.240
I was going to say, has there ever been anything like that where the police have actually been
00:15:33.120
given orders to go around someone's house and to drop off a leaflet to say, just so
00:15:38.820
you are, I know you're going to a protest tomorrow to exercise your freedom of speech and expression.
00:15:45.620
Well, you have the right to do, but we just want to make you aware, like, don't act a certain
00:16:08.680
I'll just, actually, I'll just read this rumble rant now because it's entirely relevant
00:16:12.240
from a bone apple tea party who says that copper is now under investigation.
00:16:23.560
But, again, it's exactly as you say, Lewis, just the absurdity of making someone go and
00:16:31.520
So, yeah, a fantastic turnout here in Nuneaton.
00:16:35.760
It's just, and it's, again, it's, but it's not just like how many cities and towns it's
00:16:57.020
We're just really seeing something getting sparked up here.
00:17:04.960
It's all hand-drawn, you know, flags of our own country and the Union being flown.
00:17:12.280
Like, genuine, I don't know, it's just, it's actually just so nice to see.
00:17:19.120
And the argument that if you say something that's too based, as an actual political party,
00:17:26.680
let's say, like reform or something, there was an argument that Nigel and Tyson, whoever,
00:17:31.520
they can't say things that are too based because that's electoral poison.
00:17:37.960
And I've been saying for a long time, we get people on Twitter.
00:17:43.060
It's not the Baudet position, I can assure you.
00:17:44.920
And I've argued for a long time, since the beginning, that no, I don't believe that.
00:17:50.700
I think there's millions and millions of people screaming out, crying out for a super-based
00:18:01.940
If Nigel was as based as Rupert or even more, he wouldn't be at 35%, he'd be at 55%, 65%.
00:18:11.200
Well, this is entirely, of course, what are absolutely collapsatories, wasn't it?
00:18:15.920
The fact that they said they would do certain things and then either reneged on them or double
00:18:20.940
down in the total opposite direction and exacerbated all of the problems.
00:18:25.140
So the mandate to address these issues is even greater than what it was 10 years ago now.
00:18:33.560
And a greater mandate means that, yeah, you can be more hardline in your rhetoric.
00:18:42.340
Even Labour are becoming hardline in some of their rhetoric.
00:18:50.100
But even they are trying to position themselves to court.
00:19:02.180
Yeah, and it speaks of that the Overton window.
00:19:30.300
Alan Miller, friend of the show, was on recently.
00:19:34.000
He was in Bournemouth, covering what was happening down in there.
00:19:38.760
So we're here, and there's another hotel just down there.
00:19:44.340
I've seen you back three quarters of this event.
00:19:46.220
Obviously, some people are quite annoyed, so they're making their voices heard.
00:19:49.720
Yeah, the reason we're getting annoyed is because...
00:19:57.200
I'm sure there are perfectly sensible things to say.
00:20:05.560
They've been kept in that pressure cooker for years.
00:20:09.280
Years and years, and demonised at the same time.
00:20:16.360
But if you think that towards the end of this segment, I'm going to come to you with some
00:20:23.440
Given that there have been protests in tens of towns and cities across Britain this weekend.
00:20:47.180
There's strategy meetings you can only imagine in number 10 or at checkers or wherever it is.
00:20:51.920
And they're like, our only play here is radio silence.
00:21:04.580
It's like, well, you could do the opposite thing.
00:21:13.660
But they don't even know how to contain the situation for their own sense of self-preservation.
00:21:27.380
But it's almost like we've all planted the flag in our position on this.
00:21:32.280
All the protesters, everyone, you know, and others.
00:21:39.200
But they are just so prideful and just set in their ways that they will not change.
00:21:47.200
They might say that they're going to do things, including the Tories, will say, oh, we're against this.
00:22:11.980
I mean, if you remember a few years ago, Emily Thornberry.
00:22:15.000
There was like one white van man who dared have an England flag out.
00:22:27.320
People like Lisa Nandy or Sir Queer or whoever it is.
0.86
00:22:30.640
Yeah, they hate the fact that natives turn up with St. George's flags and stand up for themselves and are beginning to voice their displeasure with being raped and replaced.
00:22:45.000
They think they do think we're the evil baddies in this thing.
00:22:54.020
But it doesn't belong there in Blackpool, as you can see.
00:22:56.940
Blackpool, pay no heed to the woke weirdo whose tweet it is, but protests in Blackpool as well.
00:23:08.320
So you know it's getting heavy when things are happening in Bristol, of all places.
00:23:13.340
But of course, I just want to say as well, when I went to Bristol, it was a few years ago now, but Bristol seemed to me like a really genuinely beautiful city.
00:23:23.140
There is a lot to love about Bristol, and like so many places, just totally being run into the ground and neglected by people who don't realise what a special city they've got there.
00:23:36.920
In centuries past, Bristol was absolutely one of the preeminent cities of England, after London, of course.
00:23:43.000
But yeah, for centuries, we think of it as just one other, even a second tier sort of city.
00:23:48.220
It's not on the level of Liverpool or Manchester or something.
00:23:57.680
And as you say, sort of the commie capital, something like, I don't know, Seattle or San Francisco, where it's lefties seem, for whatever reason, gravitate there, think it's theirs.
00:24:15.240
And the supreme leader of chas in England is, of course, Carla Denya, who I just want to say I think is the worst MP.
1.00
00:24:30.380
But I just find it, because you know what it is about Carla?
00:24:33.380
It's the fact that a lot of them you think you're just above your pay grade.
00:24:38.000
You'd be better off in a, working as a secondary teacher.
00:24:51.080
She's like someone on our side writing something that's supposed to be ironic.
00:24:58.800
She's the avatar of everything anti-civilizational that just happens.
00:25:05.080
She's anti-civilizational, everything she advocates for.
0.99
00:25:13.600
As she says, far-right protesters expect to take place outside.
00:25:31.220
As you can see here as well, there's, we remember as well when we had Jack Hadfield in the office the other week.
00:25:39.860
Great lad doing lots of on-the-ground work reporting.
00:25:43.620
And, of course, he spent a lot of time at the Britannia Hotel outside Canary Wharf.
00:25:48.600
Seems the police there were taking a leaf from the Epping playbook of just escorting a load of the anti-racist activists over, preserving their, what was it they said, their right to freedom of assembly.
00:26:08.760
So, freedom of, right to freedom of assembly must include a police escort.
00:26:17.920
Whenever, like, Tommy has a rally in London, the police go out and give them a nice escort down so they can all assemble in the capital together.
00:26:30.800
And, yeah, as you can see here, you've got locals, well, you know, good patriotic Brits singing Rural Britannia outside the Britannia Hotel.
00:26:42.320
And so it just, it seems that there's no end in sight.
00:26:45.900
It seems that there's genuine momentum, genuine inspiration in the air to just ordinary people at this point, right?
00:26:56.120
Don't get me wrong, there's still, it's still not quite radical enough for my taste, you know.
00:27:01.760
You see a few interviews where they say, oh, we don't mind the legal immigration, you know.
00:27:05.740
It's just like they hate, but they hate the procedure of what is the obvious injustice of what's been done with the illegal stuff.
00:27:13.800
And I'm sure on the legal front, you know, the facts will bear themselves out in the future.
00:27:19.960
It's really great how peaceful it's been so far.
00:27:22.280
I mean, there was, on Saturday, as of every Saturday, there was like a pro-Gaza, pro-Palestine march through London.
00:27:29.240
They had like over 500 people arrested on that one day.
00:27:33.900
And we've had all sorts of protests up and down the country.
00:27:41.980
I haven't seen any clips, certainly, of like brawls breaking out and stuff.
00:27:52.640
As you see, and a very symbolic photo here, I think.
00:27:56.720
A gorgeous photograph, in fact, of just England flag, Union flag, and the sunlight just breaking out beneath the tree, you know, from behind the trees.
00:28:22.800
All right, I'll read through some of the Rumble rants.
00:28:25.800
Chuck us an islander so I can chill it mid-segment in a minute.
00:28:40.040
I suspected it might have been the case after, because that clip had already been, you know, played around quite a lot over the weekend.
00:28:49.820
But it's sad to see, especially when he, he did do his job, after all.
00:29:02.160
Habsification says, Carla looks and sounds like she's perpetually crying.
0.99
00:29:12.100
All right, let's just get my document in place.
00:29:30.660
All right, so it's been in the news cycle a bit recently, or in the last news cycle,
00:29:36.540
that the fresh bit of red meat that Labour are throwing out to try and pretend they're doing something,
00:29:44.740
The one small element of it to do with our prisons overflowing with thousands and thousands of foreign criminals,
1.00
00:29:56.120
Once again, we know that illegal immigration is not the biggest problem.
00:30:00.800
It's legal immigration, and the few thousand foreign nationals in our prisons is actually really the tip of the iceberg.
00:30:10.400
But nonetheless, it is still very important, and it is in the news cycle at the moment.
00:30:15.840
So, yeah, here we can see the BBC, the Home Office and the government say, we're going to deport way more people.
00:30:23.080
They made a new list of countries that they're going to put on it.
00:30:45.400
You could deport those foreign Indian criminals back to India, and I'm sure no one in India would even notice.
1.00
00:30:56.900
Most peoples in the world, and for all time, have got an in-group preference.
00:31:09.480
There's the Guardian running with it, of course.
00:31:15.400
So, yeah, and the government themselves talking about it.
00:31:19.260
So, if I go back to the BBC one, we'll have a quick look at what's actually being said.
00:31:23.040
So, they've said, and I don't believe any of this, that's the angle, that's the take in this piece, if anyone doesn't already know where we're going with this, is that it's just nonsense.
00:31:37.400
Talk and talk and talk about how we're going to give France XYZ, give them money.
0.86
00:31:42.420
In fact, we're just flooded even more, with more and more people daily, literally daily.
00:31:47.620
Like, over the weekend, like 400 plus people per day coming across the Channel, ferried across by a board of force boats and the RNLI.
00:31:54.420
So, nothing's, nothing's even slowing down, let alone stopping.
00:31:58.060
And yet, out of the Home Office or the Government, Mrs. Ed Ball saying, oh, we're doing stuff though.
00:32:04.760
Look, we've got this list of countries which we will be able to deport foreign criminals straight back to.
1.00
00:32:10.980
It was, they say it's a list of 23 countries and they've added 15, well, now it's 23, but they've added 15 new more countries to it.
00:32:19.140
We're talking Angola, Botswana, Brunei, Bulgaria, Guyana, Indonesia, Kenya, Latvia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Uganda, Zambia.
00:32:33.080
I wish, sorry, I was just going to say, I wish that deporting people to Australia was as based as it sounds.
0.90
00:32:40.320
Right, I wish that that was some old imperial tactic.
00:32:46.060
Oh, yeah, like the 18th, 19th century deportation.
00:32:51.440
You go to Australia and never heard from again.
00:33:00.660
I know Australians, and I can see why, really hate that when we say that or mention that.
1.00
00:33:10.060
But it was a place to deport criminals for quite a long time.
00:33:20.860
So, yeah, they're saying things like, we'll be able to deport way more people and much more quickly.
00:33:33.740
But with even this U-turn, only the Conservative Party is committed to deporting all foreign criminals.
1.00
00:33:50.160
Like you said, I would see it as the last bit of red meat to throw out.
1.00
00:33:55.000
I actually, they understand and they know how deeply unpopular they are, the Labour Party.
00:34:00.040
And so this is their sort of death rattle of throwing out the red meat to try and court as many people and to cling on as many people as possible because they know their party is collapsing.
0.98
00:34:11.000
And I think, I think they're going to collapse earlier than we think, I think, I predict that.
00:34:19.120
I've become extremely optimistic rather than blackpilling, no blackpilling.
00:34:23.340
So I actually see this as the death rattle of the Labour Party in itself.
00:34:36.020
The Overton window is in transit, like you've just said.
00:34:50.280
How, you remember when, well, it feels like a lifetime ago now, but after Brexit, when the Tories, obviously, you know, it kept them afloat a little bit longer and we got all of the terrible things that that unleashed.
00:35:02.760
But there was, there was talk at the time, like, no one trusts the Labour Party because it was full of Europhiles.
00:35:09.260
And, you know, people who wanted to take us, drag us back into the EU and everything.
00:35:13.860
And there was genuinely talk about, it's going to be generations, you know, before the Labour Party ever get into power again.
00:35:20.460
Well, we all got sick of the Tories and every single betrayal they'd thrust at us quite quickly.
00:35:26.320
And so it's remarkable that in a way, Labour would have been better off if they were no longer out of power now because they could have just continued to wing from the sidelines.
00:35:36.320
But now that they've put themselves so thoroughly into the inherited mess of the Tories and continue to just govern by the exact same playbook, and even worse in some cases with how brazen they've been with all of the abortion stuff and other such things that no one asked for.
00:35:58.740
We have to remember, though, we have to remember, we cannot extend the olive branch of inheritance because they will use that.
00:36:12.640
Well, you could argue that in some of it, but it's exacerbation.
00:36:23.080
I agree with one of your points and slightly disagree with the other one.
00:36:30.820
The fact that they're forced, they're painted into a corner where they have to use this type of rhetoric.
00:36:38.680
And I think, I hope, it is their sort of death rattle.
00:36:42.640
The only bit I disagree with you, and I don't mean to black people.
0.65
00:36:45.500
On Twitter, I'm like the, I'm sort of an arch, no, no, no, no.
00:36:57.000
But what I will say, I just think realistically, is that Starmer is the type of person, the type
00:37:02.100
of politician that will cling on with, by his fingernails.
00:37:07.360
He's the type, I think, I feel like, because obviously I don't know the man, but I do feel
00:37:11.640
like he's the type of politician that will put up with...
00:37:15.500
a sort of crazy amount of civil unrest and just stay in number 10.
00:37:20.740
That sort of, that kind of old school socialist.
00:37:24.900
That's what I feel like, where he won't be removed from power.
00:37:29.520
You know, like certain, like maybe, I think of maybe something like a football manager.
00:37:35.960
Or you remember when there was that Justin Welby, there was a little bit of pressure and
00:37:52.460
I feel like Starmer's the type of politician that's like, really?
00:37:56.840
There's nothing legally forcing me to resign or call an election.
00:38:02.180
To add to that, I think, because I agree with that.
00:38:04.720
But I don't think, just, I don't know if I said that if, I don't know if I said that
00:38:10.560
I believe that Keir Starmer will resign himself.
00:38:14.800
I think it will be some sort of revolt within the party itself.
00:38:22.240
Is it 40 to 60 have to, with the amount they have, they have to sign a no vote of confidence?
00:38:30.140
I think that is potential on the horizon, considering how everything's going.
00:38:35.800
You've even got Diane Abbott, you know, people like that, you know, that have been diehard
00:38:40.340
with the party for a long, long time are turning around saying, actually, and not to, you know,
00:38:46.160
string it all on Diane Abbott, you know, of all people, to say that she's going to be
00:38:50.900
the one to hold the anti-Labour revolution within Westminster.
00:38:56.500
I mean, Labour have got so many MPs, it's always the way in a parliament where one party's
00:39:03.000
got such a massive majority, that it's their own backbenchers that become the real oppositions
00:39:13.560
If you look at Blair in 97, it wasn't the case because he enjoyed such a unity within
00:39:19.500
his party and his leadership was so unquestioned and his charisma and the tide of optimism and
00:39:29.560
So yeah, it may well come from the Labour Party.
00:39:36.600
I think, I don't think Keir Starmer is going to, he's going to cling on to that part of power.
00:39:50.300
So, you know, it's going to be one of those things.
00:39:53.980
He will literally dig his heels in the sand whilst he's dragged away, you know, not physically,
00:40:09.060
They almost feel like, they almost feel like that's the righteous and correct thing to do.
00:40:24.940
So there's other countries where we've been sometimes able to deport people to.
00:40:34.580
But the question is, one of the problems is, will they actually go back?
00:40:43.500
We've got lots of people we would like to, criminals, actual Pakistani nationals or dual
1.00
00:40:49.740
nationals that have done despicable crimes, sex crimes, the worst sorts of things.
00:40:57.340
And then they're supposed to be deported after they've served their sentence.
00:41:01.520
And Pakistan's just saying, nope, we're not having them.
1.00
00:41:05.660
And so our governments have always been, oh, well, I guess that's the end of the story.
00:41:08.740
They'll have to go back and live on the old street in Leeds or whatever.
00:41:12.020
Near their victims that are still there or whatever.
00:41:17.480
Home office, you vet keepers, it's all well and good.
00:41:19.500
Say, oh, we've got a list of countries and we're going to send them back.
0.82
00:41:24.240
We don't believe you that you're going to do it.
00:41:28.520
And they'll talk about things like, oh, the number of deportations has gone up.
00:41:37.300
Yeah, there's a little bit of an uptick from some sort of crazy all-time low.
00:41:59.440
If you come to this country and commit a crime, you don't get to stay here.
0.95
00:42:07.120
You will face deportation at the earliest opportunity.
00:42:35.520
Yvette Cooper saying we're going to send them packing.
00:42:41.120
I was going to play that, but there's no point playing that.
00:42:46.460
This woman's in charge of trying to keep her safe.
1.00
00:42:54.100
The confidence in the people out there, if you're going to read the room, read the temperature.
00:42:59.760
I mean, we, I'm sure, suffer from being in some sort of bubble because we're right-leaning.
00:43:07.660
Because I try my best to avoid that sort of thing.
00:43:14.120
Well, if you just look at how reform, the milk toast containment project that is reform,
00:43:20.940
how well they're doing, just that, the tiniest bit of slightly redder red meat is through the roof.
1.00
00:43:27.420
So the real feeling, I suspect, the real, real feeling in the country is way more than that, way deeper than that.
00:43:37.220
No one believes Sabana Mahmood is going to do the job.
00:43:41.300
Nobody believes Yvette Cooper is going to save us.
00:43:45.800
And what's more, the whole coalition of people that Labour had any chance to keep a hold of are just going to go to Corbyn at the next general election as well.
00:43:57.900
So they can't even just count on the left-wing voters anymore to be like, well, with the most left-wing party you have, oh, aren't times changing?
00:44:09.380
That it will split the centre-left and the father-left.
00:44:22.220
And Naird, you know, he sort of does sort of just about, just sort of make the right noises sometimes that all prisoners from overseas will be sent back.
00:44:39.700
I mean, that is what Yvette Cooper and the Home Office are saying, aren't they, really?
00:44:46.420
That's what, all apart from sort of the Greens and the Lib Dems and Muslim independents or whatever.
00:44:54.500
And you even get sort of the BBC or BBC adjacent type mainstream media organs sort of forced, again, sort of painted into the corner of saying, oh, maybe this is what is required.
00:45:08.400
Like the mainstream media isn't demonising Yvette Cooper in the last news cycle for daring to say we're going to increase the list of countries that we deport people to.
00:45:16.100
They're just like, oh, this is, this is happening now.
00:45:20.700
So again, that Overton window sort of always shifting.
00:45:24.660
One of the other, I think, talking points is the idea of, OK, so a foreign national commits a crime and they're convicted, they're caught and convicted of it here.
0.52
00:45:35.000
Should it be the policy then that they're just immediately deported to their country of origin?
00:45:42.880
Because that is sort of what the government is saying.
00:45:51.860
There's a few different ways of looking at it because what you could do is you sentence them to their, to their sentence here.
00:46:00.300
Obviously costs us money and fills up our jails.
00:46:02.520
But then at least some justice has been served.
00:46:05.540
Then at the, as soon as they, their sentence is up, they're then deported, taken straight from the jail to the airport or the boat and sent home.
00:46:12.920
OK, so at least some justice has been served, but at our expense.
00:46:18.180
Or you send them directly from being sentenced in court to the airport where they then go to their own country.
00:46:25.420
I mean, I would rather that because I don't, I want them out of the country as soon as humanly possible.
00:46:32.460
But so, but the problem is they may well get to their country, Libya, Nigeria, Bangladesh, wherever it is, and that country say, yeah, you can go free.
0.96
00:46:44.200
We don't recognise the UK courts and the sentence they gave.
00:46:47.720
That, that, I think there must be some sort of coordination with embassies then.
00:46:56.380
We have a foreign national here from X country.
00:46:59.280
We have to now coordinate with the embassy of that country and to have like a department or something of, in charge of foreign criminals or their own nationals.
00:47:12.920
For criminals that have committed crimes overseas.
00:47:16.300
And then they go in and they obviously look over the case with the British and then come to a formal agreement.
00:47:24.800
Like we're going to send this person back, but also the punishment still stands with you.
00:47:31.360
And I think that's the way to sort of tighten it maybe.
00:47:40.840
And it relies on the trust of the other government.
00:47:48.340
You have to add sanctions in if there's disagreement.
00:48:25.460
So, no, it's a bit difficult because one, you have to get that government to agree to loads
00:48:34.300
One, they could say, well, the crime you committed in the UK-
00:48:40.060
The crime you commit in our country, that's not even a crime, say.
00:48:43.780
We don't, we don't, the UK sentence you to seven years for some sex crime.
00:48:49.580
And for us, we're like, no, well done, if anything.
00:48:52.780
Then it should be, then it should be, we are sentencing this national to this minimum years.
0.96
00:48:58.200
And if you, and then you have to agree to that.
00:49:08.000
Well, I was going to say, it goes the other way.
00:49:10.300
It could be, say they committed a really heinous crime.
00:49:13.080
And in their own country, Saudi Arabia, say, or Pakistan or something.
00:49:21.100
Or like a hundred lashes in the public square or something like that.
00:49:24.780
So it used to often be, well, it still is often, the argument here in Britain
00:49:28.620
that we can't deport this person back to their country of origin.
00:49:32.320
Because that country has got a terrible human rights record.
00:49:39.000
So they have to live the rest of their life in Leeds, Birmingham, or whatever.
00:49:48.760
Like, again, in this news cycle, where Yvette Cooper's talking about increasing the number
00:49:53.120
of countries we're going to send people back to.
0.99
00:49:54.720
I haven't seen a massive pushback from bleeding hearts and traitors.
00:50:00.900
You know, like someone like Chakrabarti or something.
00:50:04.820
Saying, oh, you can't deport people back to these countries because they'll be tortured
00:50:12.400
Because it just doesn't wash, I think, as much anymore.
00:50:22.840
Like you said, we're talking all this about policy.
00:50:26.080
Like, you know, is there an agreement with the other country?
00:50:31.420
These are all extremely important questions that need to be addressed.
00:50:41.900
Because like you said, someone who'd done a heinous crime, Axel Rudakabana, or like
00:51:06.880
If you try and have that discussion, quite often they still try and shut you down, don't
00:51:11.780
But then what's the point of announcing the policy then?
00:51:16.200
And I'm trying to say this from someone who is trying to, it's near enough impossible,
00:51:22.780
but trying to be like, okay, well, if I was in that position, like, how would you do
00:51:32.900
So now I want to know, well, what happens after?
00:51:38.780
The fact they don't talk about it in detail does say, doesn't it?
00:51:47.980
It's just one more step in that endless ladder of, we swear guys, trust us bro, we're doing
00:51:54.720
stuff to make you safer to try and revert, to try and help the demographic issue.
00:52:04.520
Meanwhile, Restore, just a cavalcade of baseness.
00:52:11.400
Meanwhile, Rupert and Harrison and Charlie and the likes are, it's just like an endless
00:52:20.440
I really want them to make an actual party I can vote for.
00:52:23.080
Really, really want them to do that because at the moment it's still not an actual party,
00:52:27.160
But yeah, just being unapologetically based, Restore, and talking about, actually talking
00:52:38.820
And going down the Douglas Carswell route of talking about stripping citizenship from people.
00:52:52.720
Yeah, well, we'll have to look into that actually.
00:53:02.280
It's not like, no, we need a net zero migration.
00:53:08.080
Net zero, we'll go for a net zero migration policy.
00:53:14.400
We need mass re-migration to the tunes of millions is what we need.
1.00
00:53:18.800
And Restore sort of begins to talk about that sort of thing.
00:53:21.900
Just explicitly, start sending them back, basically.
00:53:32.240
Basically, the families of these rapists that may or may have been complicit in it,
00:53:39.780
knew about it, or silent about it, covered for them, whatever.
00:53:46.160
One of the other things with things like this that Restore put out that I really like,
00:53:54.240
personally, as a form of psychological warfare, is where they'll say something along the lines
00:53:59.840
of just all the foreigners who hate Britain have got to go.
00:54:06.920
It's just like however many is necessary, however many fit that label, you know.
00:54:11.540
I want my country back, and I want it to be safe.
00:54:14.040
And I don't want to be flooded with fifth columnists.
00:54:17.340
Yeah, someone like Gawain Towler clutching his pearls.
00:54:20.040
Oh, people that haven't been convicted of any crime, you're going to deport them.
00:54:33.720
Britain isn't some sort of overflow car park for the world's detritus.
00:54:38.240
We're not obliged to give asylum to everyone in the world.
00:54:45.660
So, like, the Labour government can say, oh, deportation's up.
00:55:03.020
Everyone should join Restore, or at least follow them on there.
00:55:15.540
Pakistani Europeans should be behind bars in Pakistan.
1.00
00:55:20.380
And the thing is, as well, this is something that people can trust, because it's obviously
00:55:26.180
It's obviously coming from a point of principle.
00:55:28.260
It's not, if Labour was sincere, this would have always been the position, right?
00:55:35.440
It's, oh, things are getting a little tough for us, so we'll just come to that really
00:55:39.040
sensible position now that everyone has been screaming at us to come to for years.
00:55:43.300
It's like, no, it's, yeah, we have been screaming for a long time.
00:55:47.520
I do actually believe, have faith in Restore and Rupert Lowe, and some of the other people
00:55:53.280
like Nick Tenconi or Britain First, a number of these parties and organisations, aren't, they're
00:56:02.940
I do have faith that if Rupert Lowe was magically a Prime Minister with a massive mandate or an
00:56:08.080
autocrat of Britain or something, that he would do this.
00:56:12.300
That I may be proven wrong on that, only the future will show.
00:56:19.000
You don't know if faith Rupert would do this thing?
00:56:22.980
No, I thought you meant, I thought you were saying something else, sorry.
00:56:28.340
I take your point, though, as well, and also the thing is, I think we all have to be mindful
00:56:33.440
of, is that because of the sheer scope of the betrayal, because of how much that the
00:56:40.440
people of Britain have had to endure over the decades now, because, you know, the establishment
00:56:46.400
has slid more and more away from the actual wishes of the people.
00:56:50.540
It's created this whole atmosphere of distrust, where we don't really trust anything, and
00:56:57.980
everyone who comes up on the horizon, we have to question, we have to question rightly, are
00:57:08.040
But at the same time, we shan't be able to succeed if we don't find a way to trust.
00:57:15.340
We do need trust in order to win, but we have to be sure we're putting it in the right people.
00:57:28.780
I think there's the silent people that will go out to these-
00:57:33.340
That came from Jov.uk, so you know it's higher.
00:57:38.120
If anyone's just listening to the audio, it's a graphic that says, 45% of Britain supports
00:57:46.680
I swear if Nigel became truly based, it's actually saying stuff in the nativist interest,
00:58:39.260
Connor Smugmug says, I bought my Islander 4 by Islander Chat.
00:58:46.260
I don't believe we're selling Islander 2 anymore.
00:58:48.940
But if you were to email the Lotus Eater's email address, then I'm sure you could get
00:58:55.880
If he's already bought one and just hasn't received it, then apologies for that.
00:59:04.120
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to, Connor.
00:59:08.500
If you email the Lotus Eater's email address, we'll get that straightened out for you.
00:59:12.300
One quick thing I'll say is that, to anyone who's watching this that's had issues getting
00:59:16.260
their Islander magazine, is that I always thought when we started this thing, I always
00:59:21.240
thought one of the least of the headaches about it was putting the bloody physical thing
00:59:25.920
in some sort of envelope and putting it in the mail.
00:59:30.840
That's the most problematic and complicated thing out of almost all of it.
00:59:35.320
Like, that's actually weirdly, weirdly complicated and difficult and doesn't go smoothly.
00:59:42.720
And we've tried, like, two or three different things to iron that out.
00:59:48.200
Oh, maybe the first time we did it, we didn't know what we were doing and we made a few errors.
00:59:56.480
And anyway, so apologies to anyone that's still waiting for theirs, especially older copiers.
01:00:02.180
We'll try to do everything we can to get them to you.
01:00:04.360
But it's weirdly, unless you've ever done a mass mailing, you just wouldn't know that
01:00:15.600
We've got Logan Pine saying, the Dark Lord's trying to save his party, but his incompetent
01:00:28.420
Well, I mean, obviously Blair will want the Labour Party to survive.
01:00:31.840
It's just, who's going to be there to keep the lights on at this rate?
01:00:38.340
There's no, there's no, and that's the thing as well.
01:00:42.500
There's no talent behind Starmer to come in and save anything from them.
01:00:46.720
They're all, Ms. Ed Balls is not going to become Prime Minister.
1.00
01:00:51.020
Who would it be if he just, yes, tomorrow, if he tomorrow just disappeared?
01:01:03.040
If there was a leadership contest, I guess Yvette Cooper.
1.00
01:01:10.700
I don't actually know who's got the biggest block within the party, but I would imagine
01:01:17.700
it would be, probably Yvette Cooper would be the next leader.
0.99
01:01:22.760
Scanline says, instead of using hotels, why don't we fill up their embassies with the people
1.00
01:01:29.760
Well, I mean, it'd be a lot of guesswork involved there, wouldn't they, given they've thrown
01:01:34.520
up their ID and everything and we've no idea who they are.
01:01:37.320
Quite often going in their embassy, it's like a big children building somewhere in Knightsbridge.
01:01:43.140
That's even more luxurious than the hotel they're in, if you put them there, but yeah,
01:01:47.720
at least they would be off our soil, technically speaking.
01:01:52.440
Habsification says, anyone committing sex crime should receive, yes, okay, I'm not going
01:01:56.700
to read that Habsification, but I take the point.
01:02:30.040
This segment that we're about to do, I believe, is an incredibly important one.
01:02:36.740
I've been investigating this for a couple of months.
01:02:39.840
I've had stone walls, but I finally managed to receive some data from the home office,
01:02:44.360
who have kindly given it after a bit of pressure, which is great.
01:02:48.760
I've already done a video on this a few days ago, and I've uploaded it.
01:02:55.540
My favorite thing to do in my past time, believe it or not.
01:02:59.300
And I think I wanted to do this segment essentially again, because I've already made a video on
01:03:06.460
it, but I thought it was important to bring it to the lower seaters for a wider audience
01:03:14.560
Obviously, what we're going to do, obviously, I've been sent a list of data on the 14 NGOs
01:03:20.700
and charities that have been formally engaged by the UK Home Office in influencing asylum
01:03:40.360
But I will be naming the CEOs and directors behind each of these companies that have been
01:03:49.000
So I'll just say, before we go into it, Bo, would you like to do some shilling?
01:04:04.300
I don't work here and I'm not being held hostage to do it.
01:04:21.440
Plus postage and packaging, which in America is a few more quid.
01:04:25.360
I'm biased because obviously I come here a lot and do segments, but also I know Rory
01:04:32.240
very well and he does a fantastic job with all the artwork and just arranging everything.
01:04:42.380
Some really, really cool people as well writing.
01:04:51.880
So, like I said, in this investigation, I'm going to reveal the 14 NGOs and charities that
01:04:57.560
were formally engaged by the UK Home Office through Freedom of Information.
01:05:01.580
So many of these groups shape the direction of UK immigration policy behind closed doors
01:05:07.820
with limited public scrutiny and, in some cases, taxpayer involvement.
01:05:14.720
So here's the request that I've been given back.
01:05:29.160
As part of internal review, the department's handling of your request would be reassessed
01:05:33.020
by staff who are not involved in providing you with this request.
01:05:38.760
They said, no, we can't give you that information.
01:05:41.620
And I'll ask for a list of NGOs or charities that have been formally engaged, et cetera,
01:05:47.480
For each organization, please indicate the nature of engagement.
01:05:51.080
For example, consultation, funding, delivery partner, MOU, and the years of involvement.
01:05:57.760
And I'm not requesting any detailed correspondence or raw documents, just a structured list.
01:06:05.340
Because that's the way that it forces a department's hand to give the information by law.
01:06:16.380
So it's given me a list between 2020 to 2024 of every organization and type of engagement.
01:06:22.480
So it says, based on the information you provided, here is a structured list of non-governmental
01:06:27.680
organizations and charities that were formally engaged by the Home Office in relation to
01:06:35.440
So I thought we could go through each particular organization.
01:06:39.460
I just want to, as well, disclaimer, I'm not accusing anyone of wrongdoing or anything
01:06:46.320
This is purely just based on facts that the Home Office has provided me.
01:06:51.500
But I think it's important to look into these particular organizations.
01:06:56.700
As Charlotte has said, in her opinion, she says, charities are the main drivers of open
01:07:03.560
She said, there's lots of them, and it's very incestuous slash self-perpetuating.
01:07:10.600
Some charities end up indirectly receiving taxpayer funding.
01:07:13.800
For example, being funded by taxpayer-funded charities.
01:07:20.540
So yeah, I think it's important to bear that in mind as we go through.
01:07:28.700
So the first one we have, if I just bring the mouse down to this document.
01:07:41.160
They don't list exactly which ones, but I'm sure that people like, of course, Charlotte
01:07:47.660
have looked into these charities, other people.
01:07:50.320
I only know a surface level, so I'm trying to get up to speed with it.
01:07:54.340
So I don't know which ones yet, but I'm sure we can find out.
01:08:04.460
I'm going to go back to the FOI, if that's all right, with the list.
01:08:09.880
So the first one is called Micro Rainbow, and they're a support charity for asylum seekers
01:08:17.120
that are LGBTQ+, and their consultation was via the NASF and SEG meetings.
01:08:26.120
So what that means, I've got this written down here somewhere, but it's basically stakeholder,
01:08:36.420
So they'll have like a round table, essentially, and they'll have a representative there, and
01:08:42.960
So in this particular instance, it's the asylum policy.
01:08:46.560
So just to give you a background of what each of them are and what they do, essentially.
01:08:51.220
So they specialize in supporting LGBTQI plus asylum seekers, and their founder, who his name is
01:09:00.880
Sebastian Rocker, has been recognized internationally for, quote, inclusion work.
01:09:16.800
So obviously, he's got a Wikipedia page there as well, which you can look into.
01:09:24.420
The next one is the NACCOM, so No Accommodation Network.
01:09:40.060
It's a UK-based coalition of grassroots groups working on housing issues for migrants with,
01:09:49.720
I believe he's stepped down as well, so I don't quite know who the next person will be or is.
01:09:58.560
I believe there's an article as well on their website too.
01:10:02.760
Another one is the British Red Cross, which, as we know, is a massive humanitarian charity
01:10:13.900
I mean, it's been famous for a long, long time.
01:10:16.340
It started by, I believe, I had his name written down, but it's not here anymore.
01:10:23.660
I think Lindsay, I think his name was, back in 1870 or something.
01:10:29.620
But it's now headed by Patrice Butzana Sita, originally from South Africa, from 2023 onwards,
01:10:38.080
and is the UK arm of the Global Red Cross Network with statutory duties in emergency support and migrant aid.
01:10:53.260
Now, I want to show you this article in just a second.
01:11:05.360
So Refugee Action is the next one, which is a charity assisting asylum seekers with integration and legal advice.
01:11:14.300
So these ones have been named as well as being around the table between 2020 to 2024 with the Home Office.
01:11:25.580
And he had written this article, which I found.
01:11:29.360
We all know it's a massive newspaper for, I believe, the homeless as well.
01:11:40.140
the root causes of the UK's racist riots remain.
01:12:01.740
What, being annoyed that our women folk are being sexually assaulted?
0.97
01:12:13.700
But you do that by not having those people in the country.
01:12:22.100
And I believe that this is in reference to the Southport riots,
01:12:30.140
the riots happening during that time just beforehand.
01:12:37.920
and why people were annoyed and angry because of that.
01:12:42.420
So moving on, so the next one is called Asylum Matters,
01:12:49.100
which is a type of advocacy project amplifying refugee-slash-asylum voices.
0.92
01:12:55.800
That's the same consultation as well between the years 2020 to 2024.
01:13:06.080
And it's an advocacy-focused group that lobbies for policy changes and coordinates regional campaigns on refugee rights as well.
01:13:22.280
Like I said, there's 14 that have been, of course, part of this.
01:13:32.440
So the next one is the Scottish Refugee Council,
01:13:39.500
Once again, the same years, 2020 to 2024, and same consultation.
01:13:43.560
The CEO being Sabir Zazai, who was an Afghan-born refugee.
01:13:49.020
And they work on housing, legal aid, and integration for asylum seekers in Scotland as well.
01:14:15.500
which is a big historic, I believe, charity fund or trust as well.
01:14:26.500
Well, consultation, once again, same thing, same years.
01:14:31.680
And it's one of the UK's most prominent refugee organizations dating back to the 1950s as well.
01:14:42.220
The CEO is Enver Solomon, with the chair being Rachel Orr.
01:14:49.480
So, the next one we have is ASAP, Asylum Support Appeals Project,
01:14:56.740
which is a legal charity for asylum support appeal hearings.
01:14:59.980
And the director is Marion Francis Edge, according to Company House.
01:15:05.840
And it's a legal-focused NGO offering support to destitute asylum seekers challenging home office decisions.
01:15:13.260
So, I'm noticing as well that there are lots of different types of charities, NGOs, organizations already,
01:15:21.520
from people that give legal advice, as well as legal advice on housing, obviously, because it's with the Home Office,
01:15:30.680
but also rights and aid and lots and lots and lots of different types of strands.
01:15:38.540
All the different means to just keep them in the country.
01:15:41.760
And what's interesting as well is there's no group that does maybe the opposite or has, like, an opposing opinion or an opposing one as well.
01:15:54.180
If we did have the policy where you were detained or held on remand until you were just deported,
01:16:01.500
then there would be absolutely no need for a whole organization to make sure you're not homeless.
01:16:16.060
The next one, nearly there, so is ASAP, which is Asylum Support Appeals Project.
01:16:22.660
So, once again, a legal charity for, sorry, just going back up, the Legal Charity for Asylum Support Appeal Hearings.
01:16:31.580
So, we're starting to see a bit of a, almost a bigger picture and a bigger context as to why it's becoming quite,
01:16:39.960
increasingly difficult for politicians who may be, like, you know, trying to challenge the asylum system and the broken asylum system that we're told about as well.
01:16:51.840
So, there's things in place for as soon as you get here, things in place to help you with your legal troubles, and then something in place to help you with your appeal should you fail first time round.
01:17:14.660
So, this was a type of medical and therapeutic support for torture survivors between the years 2020-2024, the CEO being Sonia Skeets, and it's a group that lobbies on behalf of torture survivors in asylum cases.
01:17:29.640
But this same particular one, after doing a bit of digging, because they've been going around, like it says there, like over 40 years, they were lobbying against the Rwanda scheme, the one that the Tories set up.
01:17:43.820
So, they were really lobbying against that, that particular process, and it seems as though that, of course, failed completely.
01:17:53.340
Well, it's because they've got human rights, a record of human rights abuses in Rwanda.
01:18:00.060
I believe that there has been, yeah, over the years.
01:18:11.620
We're just going to exchange, what, like Albanian asylum seekers for a Rwandan person?
01:18:25.860
Because, yeah, because there was a big, there was, I think I remember the Rwandan scheme,
0.85
01:18:30.060
there was a big push for different types of campaigns, both for and against.
01:18:34.760
And everyone had all these different sorts of opinions and different sort of basis to why it would and why it wouldn't work from both the Tories and Labour.
01:18:43.680
And I believe, I need to double-check this, but I believe freedom from torture, yes, was part of stopping the Rwanda scheme, allegedly.
01:18:57.300
And, yes, part of the lobbyist groups for that.
01:19:00.660
But still, their tenure between the Home Office and them is between 2020 and 2024.
01:19:07.780
So, it's not just Rwanda, it could be others as well, which I don't know yet.
01:19:13.260
And the next one is Rainbow Migration, formerly the UK Lesbian and Gay Immigration Group, which is a type of charity helping LGBTQI plus people with asylum claims, same years, 2020 to 2024,
01:19:29.540
and provides legal guidance and advocacy for LGBTQI plus migrants, including those fleeing persecution.
01:19:36.920
And that is Leila Zadeh, of course, the CEO or Executive Director.
01:19:44.160
The next one is the Helen Bamber Foundation, which is a charity, again, providing rehabilitation to survivors of trafficking and torture as well.
01:19:54.960
They've had the same consultations, 2020 to 2024.
01:19:59.600
The CEO is Alison Pickup, and they offer clinical and legal support for asylum seekers suffering extreme trauma.
01:20:07.080
So, like I said, I'm going through all these charities that the Home Office has given me,
01:20:11.520
and just giving just a broader context on who they are and what they do, just a reminder.
01:20:16.500
And the last one as well, oh no, there's a couple of more others, I'm so sorry.
01:20:26.920
Migrant Help is one, which is a direct support charity for asylum seekers.
01:20:34.500
And they were actually, it wasn't just an NASF consultation, they're a delivery partner, what is called AIRE contract.
01:20:42.740
Now, I have the actual, what's the term, the abbreviation of that and what that actually means, just up here.
01:20:55.020
So, yeah, the National Asylum Stakeholder Forum, which is the NASF, and it's Strategic Engagement Group, so SEG.
01:21:03.860
So, Migrant Help acted as a delivery partner for, yeah, AIRE services, otherwise known as Advice on Individual Rights in Europe.
01:21:18.080
So, that strays away from the original just consultation.
01:21:21.840
They're actually providing more of a delivery service on help.
01:21:26.580
So, a bit more sort of coordination in that respect.
01:21:29.640
I know it's quite a lot to take in, so I do apologise.
01:21:40.880
You're right, it is, but just quickly say, it is a bit perverse because, I think that's the right word, because, you know, on the face of it, isn't that a wonderful, noble thing to try and help people that have been tortured?
01:21:54.640
But then, the reality is, you're flooding us with rapists, though.
01:22:02.140
What a perverse thing to sort of subverted something as good, even noble, as trying to help torture victims.
01:22:11.100
To subvert that and make that into some sort of tool or part of cog in the machine of making white people, natives, a minority in their own ancestral homeland.
0.99
01:22:24.080
Well, and how many of these people are foreign as well?
01:22:26.740
Because foreigners have obviously been let in, first generation, second generation.
0.94
01:22:30.940
By our good graces, you know, given our, and rather than try and preserve the safe country that they've come to, just exacerbating the problem, making it a more dangerous place than they first arrived in.
01:22:42.780
So, like I said, I'm going to just stick with, obviously, what's been given by the Home Office.
01:22:48.840
I'm not going to, obviously, for this particular segment, I personally am not going to dive into anything.
01:22:54.900
But, you know, so that's, you know, just going to, yeah.
01:22:59.120
The next one is ILPA, which is the Immigration Law Practitioners Association.
01:23:04.000
They're kind of like a legal professionals membership group that done, obviously, once again, consultation.
01:23:14.880
And apparently they're currently looking for a new CEO as well.
01:23:17.880
But he's part of a sustainability, a sustainability, I believe, company or some kind of thing there.
01:23:27.520
It's not a charity, like I said, but a legal association that influences immigration policy through expert lobbying as well.
01:23:34.600
So there's lots of different NGOs, charities, and even law firms almost that the Home Office has provided that has explained what is going on in that respect.
01:23:52.000
But that's the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as well.
01:23:57.100
So the UN Refugee Agency has been heavily involved with, quote, strategic consultation and policy advisory role.
01:24:06.080
So the UN has been advising in terms of policy with the Home Office.
01:24:18.840
And it's the official UN body responsible for monitoring the UK's compliance with international refugee law.
01:24:27.100
So you can, if you would like, I've already made a video on this as well, but I'll provide the link for all of these particular organizations.
01:24:41.560
Like I said, these are all public-facing figures of each organization.
01:24:51.240
So I'm just repeating exactly what the Home Office said.
01:24:56.780
Just to double check, fact check, do what you got to do.
01:24:59.380
But I believe it's in the public interest that people need to know what is going on.
01:25:09.440
You know, we always talk about things like the charities.
01:25:12.480
And of course, with Charlotte's particular post as well.
01:25:17.900
So I think it's in the public interest for people to understand and know.
01:25:21.760
So that's why I brought this information onto the lower seaters today and just to share.
01:25:32.260
It's so good that haven't you been plagiarized?
01:25:35.340
Haven't some other mainstream media just basically stolen your stuff?
01:25:42.080
Lewis and Charlotte have been screwed over by the legacy media.
01:25:44.780
Plagiarism is all they have left since these institutions are lazy and slow and can't keep up.
01:25:55.520
For those who don't know, because I have been shouting about it for the whole weekend.
01:26:01.020
Yeah, there's been two particular stories that I've broken.
01:26:07.700
It was the HC2 certificates that have been given to low income.
01:26:16.060
And there was nearly a million of these certificates given to asylum seekers in particular across the nation.
01:26:23.420
And I fought tooth and nail to try and get that information.
01:26:30.860
And the NHS, of course, what they would do, they would take that information and they will post it on the NHS data log, as they would do if a new bit of information is drawn out.
01:26:42.020
But they get rid of your personal details, which makes sense.
01:26:48.560
And even though I posted it, several days later, the Telegraph in particular, or a journalist from the Telegraph, took the story and said it was the Telegraph.
01:27:09.880
And there was the incident of when I did the TV shows that had COVID messaging, nudge unit messaging, lots of different stuff.
01:27:22.680
And I managed to get internal memos between the CEOs of all these big broadcasters, the BBC, Channel 4, all of these.
01:27:40.160
They've ripped off her stories as well and passed it.
01:27:45.180
She even pitched the story to them about the asylum seekers that were receiving Valentine's cards from school.
01:27:53.740
So she pitched it to the Telegraph and they were like, no thanks.
01:28:05.240
So I want to clear up as well about this because people have been asking me, well, why can't you sue?
01:28:12.580
Because it's freedom of information and it goes out into the public domain and it becomes very, very difficult.
01:28:25.500
But unfortunately, it's not like America where you can just, you know, do that.
01:28:30.780
But I have no intention of doing something like that because that's not me anyways.
01:28:38.960
Yeah, I was going to say, people even know, know.
01:28:44.460
You know, there are some great journalists there.
01:28:46.440
You know, Michael Murphy, Alison Pearson, you know, all of these people.
01:28:57.540
I've seen quite a few segments, even one or two of mine, that we do on Lotus Eaters.
01:29:02.320
And then, like, a few days later, it's a bit on GB News.
01:29:11.500
Or just a talking point that someone like Carl or Harry or me or Josh will say something.
01:29:17.480
And then it's suddenly a talking point amongst those of them.
01:29:23.060
If you put it out there in a public domain or on Twitter, you then don't own it.
01:29:28.800
But it's a bit annoying that you get no credit or someone actively takes credit for it when it clearly wasn't them.
01:29:37.800
I'm just saying, you know, revealed by X, Y, and Z.
01:29:42.180
You know, because what happens is a big outlet will take the story from, I'm going to say it, lower class journalists, you know, that are like citizen.
01:29:56.820
Yeah, like lower class is how they would probably see it.
01:30:00.220
You know, the people who do the research, who send 30 FOI requests every week, you know.
01:30:06.860
So, and then what they would do, they would see it and go, okay, well, we can have that because, you know, it's in the public domain.
01:30:20.160
Sorry, just to say, Connor, I've seen your rumble rant.
01:30:23.880
I'll speak to the support team and have that addressed for you.
01:30:55.460
It's like he's watching a massacre or something.
01:31:04.040
I was joking when I said he's watching a massacre.
01:31:06.740
That's actually Harry's face every time he gets another shitlib book through the post.
01:31:12.100
People send Harry loads of shitlib books for some reason.
01:31:21.300
Just out of interest, because I didn't see that original bit of content with Harry and Josh there.
01:31:51.860
It feels battered with a little bit of vegetable, a little bit of ginger, and a little bit of octopus.
01:32:44.680
Yes, he did grab my bum, but it's my fault he can see my hair, so I've just ordered a hijab on Amazon.

After a few yoga classes, they'll stop harassing young girls, I promise.

We've launched a community art project where local schoolchildren write apology letters to the migrants for being British.

I'm not even from here, but the Labour Party...
01:33:24.560
We're entering the boomer phase of tech, where we're being...
01:33:30.020
It's happened to me once, and I was like, hang on a minute.
01:33:36.420
You could actually see a bullet hole open up in Trump's ear in the Trump assassination.
01:33:55.140
The thing is, that's so good, because it is believable, though.
01:34:00.640
There will be libtards that say exactly that sort of thing.
1.00
01:34:07.140
In fact, that last guy that said, we're getting school kids, primary school kids, to write
01:34:12.140
I saw something that was pretty much exactly that.
01:34:15.820
Well, if we've seen them write in Valentine's Day.
01:34:23.080
I'll just rumble through some of these comments, and then we'll...
01:34:27.340
So, Derek Power says, the Bow Hotel will be a fortress.
01:34:35.700
Is that like a euphemism for some sort of, like, Cambodian death prison?
01:34:39.780
No, I just misspoke when I said the Bell Hotel.
01:34:46.000
Russian garbage humans says, zero arrests at our protests because we aren't prescribed
0.98
01:34:55.460
And from your segment, Bow, Pakistan, Eritrea, Albania, Somalia, Morocco, on and on, et cetera,
01:35:06.120
all absent from the list of countries, they are essentially taking the crime league tables
01:35:11.880
and talking about deporting the underachievers.
0.96
01:35:17.460
Let's make sure we've got a deal in place with Luxembourg.
01:35:26.140
David Ward says, reform have announced mass deportations.
01:35:37.060
The big, like, mass deportations of people that are criminals and stuff, but not, like,
01:35:45.400
David from your segment, Lewis says, Lewis's research is very valuable.
01:35:54.160
And White Rider says, this list, man, can we also start, well, there does seem to be a
01:35:59.900
problem with the liberal white women, as White Rider points out on here.
1.00
01:36:05.480
And, honourable mention, North FC Zoomer says, day five of pestering Beau for a whistle-stop
01:36:12.500
tour of British history for us state-educated Zoomers.
01:36:23.380
Not that's particularly permeated my consciousness, but...
01:36:27.620
Well, we're over epochs, over, like, 200-plus episodes now.
01:36:35.640
It is a good idea, maybe if I did one hour, hour and a half long episode, which was exactly
01:36:39.980
that a whistle-stop tour, not real detail, just maybe going from Caesar to Queen Elizabeth
01:36:57.700
See, I liked the, when you used to go, like, you used to do the tours of, like, the museums
01:37:01.560
and stuff, and you used to go around and, like, a tour guide, but for the Lotus, it
01:37:09.060
Well, that's definitely all we've got time for today, ladies and gentlemen.
