00:00:00.000 good afternoon folks welcome to the podcast the lotus eaters for how was it the second of

00:00:06.740 september i think it's a tuesday 2025 i know it's the second of september because it is my birthday

00:00:17.580 hogging all the limelight you know unfortunately uh thanks keir uh but yeah so happy birthday to

00:00:23.020 me i'm 46 years old not that you believe it looking at my youthful face um no i feel pretty

00:00:28.560 good actually for 46 i don't i don't really feel very different to when i was like in my 30s

00:00:32.460 i don't mentally feel any different from when i was 17. i don't even physically yeah well yeah i

00:00:37.140 agree i feel mentally i feel like i'm in my mid-20s but like physically i don't feel like i've like

00:00:42.300 collapsed yet i hear that's happening in your 50s though so i've got that to come um but anyway we're

00:00:49.020 joined by nicholas de santo and dan and uh today we're going to be talking about the leicester

00:00:54.180 of the shires which is what they want and it's been all over everywhere today not the first time 1.00

00:01:00.980 they said oh we need more diversity in the shires it's like well they've done some studies on diversity

00:01:05.140 and they found out actually oh it's not actually our strength uh which we'll go through uh we're

00:01:10.660 going to talk about our impending imf bailout yes we we won't actually get one they're just

00:01:15.800 well they haven't got enough money have we had one before yes 1976 how did that go

00:01:20.340 uh what not well not well and we're going to talk about how the two-tier society is basically

00:01:26.440 all around us aren't we and absolutely there's simply no denying it at this point there's no

00:01:30.860 i don't even see them trying to deny this this this point actually because it's just so self-evident

00:01:36.220 um also graham linan got arrested and banned from twitter by the police uh that happened a bit too

00:01:41.240 soon for us to cover it on this podcast i'm sure they'll talk about it tomorrow because it's

00:01:45.280 genuinely preposterous uh so anyway yeah welcome to britain folks so before we go on of course link

00:01:54.420 in the description go get your copy of irelander it will not be on sale for much longer and once it's

00:01:58.560 gone it is gone forever you'll never get another copy um but anyway so we're constantly being told

00:02:05.020 about the merits of diversity diversity is a strength diversity is good diversity uh will make

00:02:10.800 the country better it'll save the nhs it'll save the pension scheme it's for the economy

00:02:15.920 whenever you see a brown person just think gdp that's what you should think you see a woman 0.99

00:02:20.680 with a hijab walking around with like you know five children that's raw gdp walking into a council 1.00

00:02:26.260 house yeah just walking to the job center and if only we had that because sometimes they're in that

00:02:31.300 drain but that's another yeah yeah yeah when you go into the nhs and every seat is full of people

00:02:37.340 from somewhere else in the world just think wow there's so much gdp in the waiting room here

00:02:42.020 that was good glad i've got to wait six hours to get my broken leg seen to uh because the gdp is

00:02:47.140 everywhere and it's good for you and the problem though is that there's not so much gdp in the

00:02:51.760 countryside actually uh it's it turns out there's no gdp produced in england's countryside in the shires

00:02:59.740 this isn't good something needs to be done about it not enough turkish barber shops and vape shops

00:03:04.740 well they are actually starting to get some of those now actually uh but there's not enough um

00:03:09.360 uh random people from africa milling around creating time in uh the center of these towns or

00:03:16.040 muslim women claiming benefits well yeah but that's that's why i live there well yeah i know me too

00:03:20.300 but apparently we're getting diverse oh good oh good this this is this is what you need to know but

00:03:26.340 anyway before we begin go and watch uh luca's series chronicles he's done another excellent episode

00:03:32.320 about a play i've never heard of so i'm going to watch this and find out what it's about but i just

00:03:36.780 want to show everyone the intro right because i think i think we're kind of sleeping on just how

00:03:40.340 much great work the team is doing and i just want to play this to you begin by talking about

00:03:45.140 start at the beginning so i was watching it before we started

00:03:48.200 hello and welcome isn't that a beautiful intro anyway that's excellent i know i'm gonna see if

00:04:08.480 i can get brokonomics one of those right mesmerizing you don't have a lovely intro like

00:04:11.940 that no i don't no they've been working really just cut to dan yeah so they've been working really

00:04:16.600 hard and i just we haven't shown anyone basically so i thought i'd show everyone but anyway so this

00:04:20.600 is the article from the telegraph that's going around that everyone's seen the british countryside

00:04:25.880 is overwhelmingly white that's where the british are from actually uh and he needs more halal food

00:04:31.300 says a report from the university of leicester that their center of center for hate studies

00:04:36.900 right realize that was an academic discipline might get a degree in hate studies so i can be like yeah

00:04:42.280 no i'm gonna be really racist to you and i'm a professional i am qualified to be racist not sure

00:04:47.860 that's what it teaches but i don't know the hd in hate well i mean if the bbc's disinformation

00:04:52.960 reporters report nothing but disinformation can we not be self-taught you can be an autodidact but

00:04:58.980 i want the qualification right okay i'm a credentialist yes if you live in leicester probably you don't need

00:05:04.320 to get a degree well you have a street we are going to discover that is shortly actually i've

00:05:09.680 done my homework you have yeah uh so uh they they complain that uh ethnic minority communities face

00:05:15.240 challenges in the countryside because rural england is overwhelmingly white and this creates feelings 1.00

00:05:19.480 of discomfort and the psychological burden that comes with navigating predominantly white spaces

00:05:24.320 which uh i mean don't we all just feel that you know nicholas when you arrived in this country

00:05:28.260 were you like too many english people absolutely something needs to be done about this 1.00

00:05:33.900 um but yeah so you know they raise concerns about traditional pub culture i should probably

00:05:38.760 just abolish it for this good of diversity and uh how monocultural customs are exclusionary which

00:05:44.100 is remarkable because it comes from this report from their scent of hate studies and to university

00:05:51.020 of leicester i would suggest look not at the splint in our eye how about worry about the plank in your

00:05:56.580 own because man things are not good in leicester and to find out how bad things are in leicester when it

00:06:02.740 comes to hate crimes we turn to the university of leicester and their hate crime report now leicester

00:06:08.900 just for anyone who doesn't know is 42 percent english so it is a majority minority city and it is

00:06:17.980 the place where you may recall in 2022 there were race riots between muslims and hindus because there 1.00

00:06:23.620 was um a game of cricket which is very important yes i remember that and and i remember the labor front

00:06:30.300 bench were mildly irked yeah and then a couple of months later the british working class rioted

00:06:37.180 and their basically eyes started burning yes i mean it's serious stuff and i'm sure that the only

00:06:44.860 contention between these two communities was cricket alone it certainly wasn't yes it certainly wasn't

00:06:49.500 indian pakistan get on very well apart from the cricket exactly it wasn't indicative the occasional

00:06:54.060 nuclear war in the other yes exactly no deeper concerns in that community and you may also

00:07:00.700 remember that uh leicester east is the uh leading home of domestic and modern day slavery in england

00:07:08.380 with 10 000 modern day slaves under claudia webb's constituency hang on i've just spotted a flaw in your

00:07:14.520 segment oh yes if leicester is majority minority yes and that makes and we've always been told that

00:07:23.960 if you get rid of the white people hate goes down that's correct what how does this report exist yes

00:07:29.880 uh i don't know weirdly slavery doesn't even come up in it considering how many slaves they have in 0.72

00:07:34.920 leicester you think talk about that i thought slavery was a bit hateful but it doesn't even doesn't even

00:07:40.360 warrant a mention okay uh so anyway so let's let's go to the pdf now samson i'll require you to

00:07:46.040 skim two pages but in the introduction on page seven uh they as they say they they did this and

00:07:52.280 this was a two-year period in 2012 2014 they conducted this groundbreaking research and they

00:07:57.160 tell us this the city of leicester has an extraordinarily diverse population it is home to substantial minority

00:08:03.560 ethnic populations that are both newly arrived and well established as well as a wide range of faith

00:08:07.960 sexual and other minority communities and it is this rich diversity that made leicester a highly

00:08:13.000 appropriate site to explore experiences of hate prejudice and targeted hostility

00:08:19.160 hmm wait i refer you to my earlier comments there shouldn't be any well that's the point it's almost

00:08:26.920 as if non-white are also capable of hate but no but look at the framing we were looking for the place 0.97

00:08:33.000 with the most hate we wanted to study hate so we went to leicester our own backyard where there's

00:08:38.120 tons of hate because there's so much diversity hate is just a normal part of diversity according

00:08:43.000 to the university of leicester it's interesting it's where you'd most expect to find it what were we going

00:08:47.720 to do go to some like nice village in the wirral or something you know like no we've got nowhere else

00:08:54.040 to go it's got to be there uh and so on page eight they tell us that uh during the process of

00:09:00.280 conducting this study we heard from sizable numbers of participants so there was different you know

00:09:04.840 people in the different lifestyles whether they're polish roma roma somalian congolese iranian

00:09:09.960 communities and all these other sorts of things but you'll notice that the people they're leaving

00:09:14.440 out from this are essentially straight white men you don't get to hear from those much although they

00:09:22.360 they do have white men in here but they're ones with disabilities or mental health problems or

00:09:27.480 so they get to be minor minoritized in the categorization but the point is that you can

00:09:33.640 see the assumption the background assumption of all this is hate is what happens from white men to

00:09:39.800 minoritized communities yes someone who has been categorized and so we go on to page 11 they tell us

00:09:45.640 who took part in the study so 56 were women 42 were men so that's a bit of a strange bias isn't it and

00:09:54.600 three percent of transgender now so that's not exactly a representative slice of leicester right

00:10:02.200 unless leicester has just a really disproportionate number of transgenders

00:10:07.080 is three percent of leicester really transgender that would put their about that's what they used

00:10:11.480 to call the don't know category isn't it yeah that that would make about some of the 90 000 transgenders

00:10:16.360 in leicester or something 9 000 or something it'd be quite high um but so it's not really representative

00:10:21.560 and then they tell us that 29 of our participants were 18 to 24 the next largest group was 25 to 34

00:10:27.880 which was 18 of the sample so more than half of their population is under 35 that they've sampled

00:10:34.440 but the thing is only 25 of leicester's population if you check the 2021 census is under 35 actually

00:10:41.960 half of them they're older and the population generally it's actually a fairly predictable well

00:10:47.800 and also if you say that leicester is only 42 percent white i bet on the under 24s yeah significantly

00:10:55.160 more but they also 30 from the university itself so this is not exactly a representative uh sample of

00:11:02.840 the population uh they say that they uh if we carry on going down a little bit you see a big table

00:11:10.040 of the ethnicity so 43 were white british which is about roughly correct uh 29 asian which is actually

00:11:16.600 under 13 as black which is over then you've got mixed heritage middle eastern gypsies etc etc in the

00:11:23.080 20 with 21 census they're only 8 black 4 mixed 41 white and 43 asian so they are not exactly doing a

00:11:32.120 balanced sample of this but uh but anyway the majority of the participants call themselves heterosexual

00:11:37.880 76 really 25 of leicester is gay is a really i don't i'm not sure that they are again i think this 0.75

00:11:47.960 might be sampling biases from university population but anyway let's let's let's take these strange

00:11:54.200 numbers that they have and go to uh the most recent racist experience that they had on page 19.

00:12:00.440 so they tell us that for the majority of those surveyed being the victim of targeted hostility

00:12:05.160 was a current and ongoing issue well i mean that seems like a brilliant argument against it just

00:12:10.680 on the face of it right have diversity why you'll be the victim of targeted hostility is a current and

00:12:16.200 ongoing issue almost everyone basically 59 said they'd been the victim of a hate crime within the

00:12:22.440 last year a quarter within the last month and a similar proportion had experienced a hate crime more

00:12:27.080 than a year ago but less than five years ago so most people are victims of hate crimes in leicester

00:12:32.760 well looks like they they've gone in in bad faith to start with because the sample it's a bit like

00:12:41.000 bbc reporting right you already want a certain outcome so you go and stick a microphone in the face

00:12:46.280 of those people you want to say what you expect them to say yes and so uh the minorities in this sample

00:12:55.160 were um overblown age group again young people more likely to have been bombarded with all these

00:13:02.760 uh mainstream or uh at school you know victimization victimhood oppression white man bad colonialism

00:13:10.600 all that agenda and despite the fact that they went in with in in bad faith what comes out is that

00:13:16.680 in a diverse utopia we have a lot of hate and discrimination that's true you'd think that this

00:13:23.240 wouldn't be the sort of thing they'd advertise quite as prominent right uh if you want everyone else

00:13:27.640 to embrace diversity maybe you shouldn't point out that that just means you're going to be the

00:13:31.560 victim of hate crimes all the time well not only that in the introduction that they listed through

00:13:35.800 some of the things they're looking at like broken windows stolen cars i mean none of that happens

00:13:40.360 around my way yeah weird isn't it yeah yeah there's no there's no hate incidents in the little suburb i

00:13:45.640 live in i haven't seen a single hate incident but what do i know anyway so uh they they if you go down to

00:13:51.160 page 20 they tell us about the kind of abuse obviously most of it is just verbal abuse uh

00:13:56.680 a lot of it is harassment only about 13 is property crime 9 violent crime 6 cyber bullying so basically

00:14:03.240 it's people being mean to each other in the streets which is like 80 nearly the abuse it's just people

00:14:08.360 just f off foreigner but okay well that's nice again what don't you want to live in an area where 1.00

00:14:16.440 verbal abuse and harassment they're just completely rife this is this is what lester is advertising as

00:14:22.040 being the strength of diversity and the consequence of diversity this is what they want you to think

00:14:26.360 of it because this is what they found in their studies because this isn't actually selling it to

00:14:31.160 me to be honest no weirdly isn't it not right it's it's weirdly not uh if we go down to page 21 we find

00:14:36.200 that uh race was the most commonly cited reason and there's a little graph here there we go i see race

00:14:40.600 and ethnicity so most people just don't like foreigners not racist just don't like them

00:14:44.840 uh a lot of that's tied into dress and appearance you can see there is the second largest graph

00:14:49.880 which again is tied specifically to race and ethnicity because of course if you're wearing a

00:14:54.680 hijab or something people can identify you and so you know this is directly connected uh again i'm sure

00:15:01.000 that in lester they're not racist they just don't like them uh 17 responded with religion as well which

00:15:06.840 of course is tied with race and ethnicity especially if you're muslim or jewish so um yeah it's it's uh

00:15:13.320 it's quite bad 14 percent with the gender um uh only 11 sexual orientation so that's surprisingly

00:15:20.280 progressive but uh you can see that i don't know that it's not quite the utopia that people are

00:15:26.760 pointing out and if we go to page 22 we get a very interesting little paragraph where they tell us

00:15:34.440 within the overall sample of participants who felt they've been victimized because of their race

00:15:38.280 substantial numbers of the respondents belonged to quote new and emerging communities such as black

00:15:44.120 african which included significant numbers of congolese and zimbabwean as well as to communities

00:15:49.720 with a more established presence such as indian white british and chinese it's good to know the

00:15:56.760 white british who've got an established presence in leicester it was about time yeah

00:16:01.400 it's on a part of the chinese yeah on on a part with the chinese yes um so i mean like when it came

00:16:08.120 to the number of uh uh people who have been victimized by their race black africans 86 accounts of being

00:16:15.160 victimized based on their race which uh i guess you'd expect uh indians 61 accounts white british 38

00:16:20.760 accounts and chinese 29 accounts so people are more racist to the white british in leicester than they

00:16:27.240 are to the chinese why don't you want to diversify the shires guys we're only going to bring a bunch 1.00

00:16:32.600 of people who are going to be racist towards you because you're bright british and it's only going

00:16:36.760 to be constant street harassment i mean it's really not a strong argument is it no it's not it's not

00:16:43.880 selling it to me no so i mean you can tell that they didn't expect white british people say yeah i've

00:16:49.480 experienced racial harassment you can tell really i've read this this whole thing twice you can tell they

00:16:54.840 were not expecting this and that will get to the in fact in fact they say quote findings from the

00:16:59.880 study challenge conventional ideas regarding which victim groups or identity and lifestyle characteristics

00:17:04.600 should be relevant to hate crime policy oh i bet they bloody do right uh if we go to page 29 uh they

00:17:10.680 say uh they point out basically that um a lot of people are uh who are who are being

00:17:19.240 aggressed upon uh are poor people um as you can see from the graph there sponges is what people are

00:17:27.720 thinking it's people who either receive benefits do not receive an income or earn fifteen thousand

00:17:33.000 pound or less are the ones most likely to claim the to be the victim of hate crime uh frankly i think a

00:17:40.440 lot of it is going to be that might also be just the people who spend their day wandering around the

00:17:43.960 street as opposed to being in an office true that's true and it probably is also um

00:17:50.920 correlative with the um groups that they've interviewed for these yes for the survey um but

00:17:58.920 if we go to page 31 i think it's remarkable where this is happening because again this is just such

00:18:03.640 another wonderful wonderful example if you can scroll down a little bit on this you'll see a little

00:18:07.720 graft there we are where is this happening well most of the time it's either in public outside

00:18:12.120 my home or in the city center it's just happening in the streets okay people in the streets just like

00:18:17.480 and if you look public transport around a place of entertainment other public location like near

00:18:22.600 where i work in a bar or a nightclub it it's just people in the streets racially abusing each other

00:18:29.000 where's where's in my place of work where's that uh that is about um seven percent there in or near

00:18:35.800 where i work okay because because the the view of racism always told it was it was 50 year old

00:18:41.720 white men saying something mean yeah in the office that that's what racism is supposed to be yes

00:18:47.080 ten percent of it is happening in the university itself ten percent of it is happening quote in my

00:18:51.240 home thanks granddad

00:18:54.920 like the multi-generational homes of old muslim granddad abusing racially young grandchildren i don't

00:19:02.600 know what i don't know but the point is i don't know i'm talking about the hindus that have just moved 0.92

00:19:06.360 in next door uh you know what i'm not here to judge granddad calling you a mud truck or something

00:19:11.960 but the point being is that this isn't exactly selling to me either so uh the racial abuse goes

00:19:17.480 to all races when you bring diversity into your area and it just happens in the street all the time

00:19:23.560 to the point where most people experience it within the last couple of within the last year but also

00:19:29.000 like a quarter within like a month so it's a really regular occurrence for for people so that's not

00:19:34.760 exactly uh a great advertisement i would say for diversity i mean stop me if you think i'm wrong of

00:19:40.280 course if you know absolutely if you can somehow see an upside to any of this no i mean diversity again

00:19:45.880 remarkably they went in trying to most likely because this is the university we know these environments

00:19:52.840 they they they wanted to get what they already uh set out to get they assumed it was true credit to

00:20:00.120 them they have still published that but um obviously diversity creates tension because you have people

00:20:07.480 from different cultures and of course the big fat lie that we've always been sold is that multiculturalism

00:20:15.000 is fantastic as long as we believe in some core values and this is already a paradox in itself because

00:20:21.240 if we come from different cultures we don't have the same core values how could we have we don't

00:20:25.720 attach the same value to human life or women's rights or freedom of speech and being polite in

00:20:32.120 public absolutely well it does look like it does look like unless they do share a core value yeah

00:20:36.680 being racist to each other yeah because that happens when people are different and as long as we are

00:20:41.320 doing economically great which we are not then it would be something different but even when we are not

00:20:46.360 doing that again in part due to too much diversity and multiculturalism never mind net zero and other 0.99

00:20:53.080 probably war in ukraine and all that but because resources are also limited these migrants are also 1.00

00:21:00.680 hostile to each other because first of all they don't have this culture of tolerance or stiff upper lip or

00:21:05.880 you know uh trying to put on a brave face and all that it's a different culture and secondly they are also

00:21:11.080 competing for limited resources not to mention and i finish here importing their own uh long-standing

00:21:19.480 conflicts so you have indians and pakistanis in leicester you might have turks and kurds in germany and so

00:21:25.640 on yeah we went to each other we went to london the other week we were there for 20 minutes before we saw

00:21:31.400 two ethnics fighting each other yeah it was really bad yeah it was really yeah because these are 1.00

00:21:35.880 unresolved problems that we have imported yeah so let's let's move on to page 33 let's see what

00:21:40.680 how do the people of leicester cope with all of the rampant racism that they uh victimize themselves

00:21:46.360 with well if you go down a bit there's there's a another graph in here i think uh but okay maybe

00:21:51.800 i haven't got graph but um they you can see the the quotes here um so there are certain times that we

00:21:58.120 go out now like saturday evenings we don't go out no it's dangerous for my kids you can't walk at

00:22:02.440 nighttime in my area how can you trust the people on the street all of them are strangers for you says a

00:22:07.160 male asylum seeker from pakistan and he's saying i can't walk around the street someone might get

00:22:13.160 raped like this this is remarkable that they're like yeah this is just i wonder if that was the case

00:22:20.200 in pakistan good question presumably he's from somewhere yep chinese woman's like we can't go out 1.00

00:22:26.360 at night uh it's the most dangerous part is just being around them basically each other is what

00:22:32.680 they say so if we go down to page uh 37 um uh sorry page 30 what i thought i was on page 37 anyway right

00:22:42.360 so you you can see that um if you go to page 37 uh you can see that uh there's a graph on this page go down

00:22:50.120 a bit there we go uh the dark green is people who are not affected by this so eight percent uh have

00:22:57.800 have said that this doesn't impact their quality of life maybe they're the ones doing it all quite

00:23:02.760 possibly quite possibly uh the 91 say that they have been affected in some way and negatively so that's

00:23:11.080 great that's absolutely great uh so if we go to page 39 we can see the consequences of what this has

00:23:18.440 on people and 71 say it's made me upset 41 say it's made me anxious 37 says it makes me angry

00:23:27.000 towards others 36 makes me vulnerable 35 made me avoid certain areas 33 made me fearful 32 made me

00:23:34.680 distrust other people and 29 says makes me depressed and that again is the the overwhelming majority there

00:23:41.800 so again not another brilliant advertisement for diversity would you like to be upset anxious

00:23:46.840 vulnerable and depressed because if you do import diversity says the university of leicester i mean

00:23:52.600 the more based on the experience of the people of leicester the more i'm coming back to your

00:23:56.120 original questions no i don't think i do want this for the countryside yeah weirdly i think i don't

00:23:59.480 want this in the shadows so when they come out and like yeah well in the shadows are too white so

00:24:03.080 are they though yes by your own metrics compared to getting this yeah made me want to move house

00:24:09.160 conceal my identity i mean well made me want to move away from leicester why only 11 yeah yeah i guess a lot

00:24:15.880 of them feel trapped there but let's let's go let's go to page 52 now and discover what people are

00:24:21.480 doing about all of these problems that diversity has laden on them so the answers are they're

00:24:26.200 self-segregating and imposing a personal curfew and they're arming themselves in their own homes

00:24:32.520 wow what an amazing response to diversity they're undiversifying themselves into secretarian clans

00:24:39.160 yes uh 61 avoid walking in at certain areas and going to a certain place 36 just don't go out at

00:24:44.840 night and 27 improved home securities and they they have weapons in the house and then 15 carry personal

00:24:53.240 security devices and whatnot so again not exactly a brilliant advert for the diversification of the

00:24:59.880 shires and i'm not really sure i'm for it but in some uh peculiar and uh concerning uh way this is

00:25:09.640 achieving the goal of 15 minute cities that the pro-green agenda looking because isolate yourself

00:25:16.200 don't walk out don't travel just everybody's atomized and everybody's living in fear split a

00:25:21.800 city into four could we like the white area the black area and the asian area mind you the asian

00:25:26.200 area will go to war with each other like after the fall of the roman empire right there's no state

00:25:30.920 to guarantee your security so you might as well fortify if you can afford you know we'll get to

00:25:36.600 that because for the interest of time i'll rush on so if we go to page 56 uh they they give us a bit of

00:25:42.600 a breakdown on uh what their what their uh actual perpetrator data looks like so if we scroll down

00:25:49.000 about this they say our survey data illustrates that hate crime perpetrators come from a range of

00:25:53.480 different ethnic backgrounds so just bringing in diversity is not actually just the answer

00:25:59.000 three-fifths of survey responses stated their last experience of hate crime involved a white offender

00:26:03.160 61 one in six said their most recent experience as an asian offender at 16 and 12 was a black offender

00:26:09.320 the diversity amongst perpetrators becomes more striking when looking at specific strands of hate

00:26:13.640 crime victimization taking racially motivated hate crime as an example just under two-thirds said

00:26:19.320 described the offender as white british at 58 however significant numbers of respondents said

00:26:23.800 that asian asian british 17 or black black british 15 individual have been involved in their most recent

00:26:29.880 experience of targeted hostility the interviews complemented the survey data in demonstrating that

00:26:34.360 the perpetrators involved in racist and religiously motivated hate crime come from various different

00:26:38.920 backgrounds that was 42 not white british committing hate crimes based on race so they're pretty racist

00:26:45.720 oh so do you want a bunch of racists who uh don't like each other let alone you moving to your shires

00:26:53.320 i can't say i'm in favor racists are also more violent than the white typical white races that's true and 0.98

00:26:59.800 don't bring too much gdp either well yeah that's another great point because as you saw it was all the

00:27:05.720 the bottom rung of society but if we go to page 57 uh they say in these cases though the majority of

00:27:10.760 offenders involved involved in the most recent experiences were white british over a quarter

00:27:15.640 stated that an asian british indian pakistani or bangladeshi individual had been involved in their

00:27:19.480 victimization these the findings from the study illustrate that the profile of hate crime

00:27:24.680 perpetrators is much more diverse than commonly assumed that's progress folks uh diverse hate crimes

00:27:31.160 is where we're aiming for so if we go to page 70 uh there's quite a lot of um discussion on the police

00:27:37.960 in this and uh they just say what's the point yes uh as you can see police don't take it seriously

00:27:44.680 or i dealt with it myself the police don't do anything this was a private matter the police

00:27:48.120 would not have understood blah blah blah and so basically many people just don't bother going um

00:27:54.440 as in by a female zimbabwean asylum seeker says quote there's not much they can do anyway because

00:27:59.320 you'd never come across those people again i would never recognize them there's no way they could get

00:28:02.840 them it would be a waste of time on my side to report it to the police as in

00:28:05.880 it's a random person walking around the streets who just racially abused me and then there was a

00:28:11.240 time where if somebody was abusive in the street you just say well yeah but i know who you are

00:28:18.120 i went to school with you and yeah they don't know each other like like the Pakistani asylum seeker 1.00

00:28:22.360 said well this is a place of strangers yeah that would be the high trust society where people

00:28:26.360 know each other the shire yeah yeah yes exactly yeah the last bastion yes um anyway so uh we can 0.52

00:28:33.720 move on to page 80 for recommendations now these are excellent recommendations obviously uh so

00:28:40.520 the first one is uh frontline practitioners should treat victims with empathy humanity and kindness

00:28:46.440 okay i assumed that they were i mean i assumed they were being nice uh but then the second one is

00:28:51.000 organizations should consider early interventions before incidents escalate into violence

00:28:55.160 such as it's happening on the street it's it's not happening in the police you know or in the in

00:29:04.280 the schools what do they do like sniper nests on the high street no idea you know but it's just

00:29:09.000 happening in the middle of the street like all over the town i don't know what their are their

00:29:13.720 argument is here yeah there could be even further diversity and equity and tolerance courses at corporate

00:29:20.840 level but they're already doing that to the map that's the next suggestion there you go hate crime

00:29:26.040 awareness campaigns should be publicized in more appropriate community relations so you're gonna

00:29:29.880 have to try and propagandize the diversity not to be racist towards one another so also play a looped

00:29:34.520 video in the benefit center i guess i just more propaganda uh the next one is of course a lot of

00:29:41.080 it happens on public transport so it should be quote made safer for all armed guards like what are we

00:29:47.720 doing here i got rid of conductors on buses like 30 years ago yeah i mean i've seen people saying oh

00:29:53.400 we need armed guards on trains in london it's like we never used to why has this happened i used to i

00:29:58.520 remember 25 years ago traveling on a tube in london as a like you know 19 year old kid like an idiot 0.73

00:30:03.800 having no problems whatsoever there was absolutely no danger whatsoever as far as i could see but anyway

00:30:08.600 here we go you know uh number five is that the public should be encouraged to take appropriate

00:30:13.560 action when witnessing hate crimes so what does that mean like i'm not i mean who who wants to

00:30:19.240 take risks for their own personal safety for foreigners i mean if i see two ethnic fighting

00:30:23.720 i'm not getting involved yeah why would i i've seen posters on the london tube on tfl is encouraging

00:30:30.120 people when you see sexual harassment intervene say that's not okay remember the maid campaign 0.98

00:30:35.560 like the guy who got sliced across his nose in france exactly because the diversity was harassing yes and

00:30:40.840 then this american oh that was nasty as well deep cut yeah huge cleaved his nose yeah here the

00:30:46.360 assumption is that it's the white people who are doing the race exactly so you're very welcome to 1.00

00:30:50.600 intervene exactly but the data already shows no it's almost half of it's not uh and then the next

00:30:56.840 one is of course uh extra reporting mechanisms uh so basically an increased surveillance state somebody i

00:31:02.760 don't know and won't recognize again said something mean yes and then uh have you know better reporting

00:31:09.320 mechanisms and stuff like that this is all like you know surveillance state nonsense basically uh

00:31:13.480 for the next couple but none of those would work no and then engage with different groups and

00:31:18.120 communities don't know what more you could possibly do uh voluntary and tailored community services

00:31:23.480 should be okay but that's not going to prevent racism on the streets and then non-punitive responses

00:31:28.200 to hate offending should pursue should be pursued to challenge underlying prejudice so it's an

00:31:32.440 attempt to brainwash basically just look we just need to explain to you you're not allowed to say

00:31:37.080 certain things to certain communities so um after all that i mean i think actually i'm just suggesting

00:31:43.000 keep the countryside homogeneous yeah actually yes i'm leaning that way yeah i think we can avoid

00:31:47.960 all of the problems the hate the racism the lack of trust the increase in crime the fact that people 0.78

00:31:53.720 are afraid to go out in the streets they can't go out at night i think actually if we just keep the

00:31:57.720 areas a bit homogeneous we avoid all of those problems and we can ignore all of these recommendations

00:32:03.000 and just keep if it if it ain't broken just don't try to fix it and you might say i'm a dreamer

00:32:09.960 but how about retaking the urban areas as well as as someone who's living in the

00:32:16.040 sin city of london incredible i just wanted to yeah throw that in the middle absolutely incredible

00:32:21.320 okay right let's uh let's let's get some soup chats because everybody's about to come in um

00:32:25.800 david says the byproduct of socialism is systemic impression uh the engaged few says damn check out carl

00:32:30.840 on that suit looking so sharp he could cut himself smiling thank you very much um mark says came to

00:32:36.040 rural cornwall from canada for two weeks in july not much strength very little diversity but it was

00:32:40.520 beautiful and the weather was nice too i bet you didn't even get racially abused on the street did

00:32:43.880 you you know you don't even know you're living jacob says buy islander magazine and send him pictures

00:32:48.760 of you and a copy from around the world and happy birthday yes there was a chap who uh climbed ben nevis and

00:32:54.520 sent us some photos of it with islander the other day so yeah see if anyone can get more exotic than that

00:32:59.240 uh pezza says someone off topic but i correctly recall uh og sargon days you did a series called

00:33:05.640 all cultures are equal should bring it back uh i mean it's probably a hate crime at this point so

00:33:09.720 uh for carl uh considering you're called sargon i'm not called sorry but anyway would you

00:33:15.160 both think about doing videos on the bronze age i hear the hittites are pretty based uh yeah the

00:33:18.920 hittites pretty great but um maybe i'll bring it up with him and uh thank you hayden uh happy birthday

00:33:24.520 to you tomorrow as well let's carry on do you mind doing the links there we go

00:33:31.160 there you go right so i've been i've been off for the last couple of weeks no internet

00:33:36.200 deep deepest devon spending time with the family all was great and uh i thought well a lot of gdp

00:33:41.880 around and well no there wasn't actually no there wasn't it was uh remarkably undiverse but the the

00:33:46.440 rain the uh roundabouts were getting pound painted in the in the george cross

00:33:50.040 well and and normally when i'm on the podcast of course i i'm here to uh keep rachel reeves and

00:33:56.040 check but i thought i can go away for two weeks can't i i i can do that she she can surely behave 1.00

00:34:02.920 herself no no i'll come back to this um did you make her cry the first time um i i i hope i was a

00:34:09.640 part of it i i can only hope um britain is heading for an imf bailout economists warn as rachel

00:34:17.160 reeves drags us back to the 1970s so yes what one one thing that made my my father conservative for

00:34:25.400 his entire life right was the state of the country in the 1970s he was a young man and he remembers the

00:34:31.800 rolling blackouts the uh three-day work weeks the rubbish piling up in the streets the uh body's not

00:34:38.360 getting collected all that's he's not getting collected the general economic stagnation uh the

00:34:43.080 the tyranny of the unions uh the fact that the country was just literally falling apart i mean

00:34:47.400 that is a normal day in like birmingham or leicester these days sure but he was from the southwest so

00:34:52.840 right yes it shouldn't happen yeah yeah exactly it was where otherwise should have been lovely

00:34:58.920 but yeah no so he remembers the problems and once again we're back here i mean to be fair that the

00:35:05.240 tories were awful as well yes but the difference with the tories is even though they were you know

00:35:11.480 very biddable for the globalist left-wing ideas they weren't ideologically malicious yes they were

00:35:17.880 incompetent yes but not ideologically malicious i think a lot of his weakness as well they knew what

00:35:23.160 ought to have been done yes it was just like oh i don't think it'll be me though it's an easier life

00:35:26.840 just to just to you know carry on paying out correct so into condition into not wanting to be called

00:35:32.200 racist or yes bigoted go along with all the globalist ideas the green agenda all that kind

00:35:37.320 of stuff or even doing anything useful whereas labour is doing all of that plus a whole bunch

00:35:41.720 of other ideological stuff as well and it's just too much amazing push push us over the edge so some

00:35:47.000 interesting quotes um from this article and and i basically i picked out the two most left-leaning

00:35:54.200 characters i could find within it andrew sentence is a former member of the bank of england's

00:35:59.240 um rate setting monetary policy committee he's got a left-wing chap i imagine he's pretty uh

00:36:06.120 tightly involved in that sort of stuff well and what even he said rachel reeves is on course to

00:36:11.640 deliver a healy 1976 style crisis later this year or early next i mean i just can't believe we're

00:36:18.920 going to need an imf bailout yes that's embarrassing um i will come to that because okay yeah yeah yes because

00:36:27.800 whether they got the money or not um professor uh jaggi chachahad i might be pronouncing that wrong

00:36:36.760 um a head of the national institute for economic and social research uh think tank so again a left-wing

00:36:44.120 organization a left-wing think tank um he says we will not be able to roll over our debt we will not

00:36:50.440 be able to pay pensions or benefits yes i mean i kind of hate paying benefits well i mean that yes

00:36:59.480 i mean the aspects of that i like to be fair but if they get to that point they're probably going to

00:37:06.040 take everything that we have to pay the benefits yes yeah but on the plus side it's not going to last

00:37:12.120 very long no no i don't i don't think even even our savings compared to the national debt are gonna

00:37:19.960 might get you like a fraction of a second it's gonna be i mean literally it would be like you

00:37:23.880 know oh this is like five minutes of nhs spending also yes you know it's like we've we've looted

00:37:28.280 every five minutes of nhs spending yeah you could get a battleship for that yeah i know yeah i know

00:37:34.440 it's going to literally be like right we've funded the nhs for another 27 minutes yes so okay great

00:37:39.000 you've looted the country now now everything's gone tick tock tick tock um not just the daily mail

00:37:44.840 um samsung can have some buttons at work fix it there we go um telegraph have also been getting

00:37:51.960 in on this so yeah rachel reeves heading towards an imf bailout um yes very uh unfortunate there's a

00:37:59.800 so what's this graph here oh what's this graph this is boring boring costs oh yes i'll be coming back

00:38:05.800 to that oh okay yeah right yes that that is a good one because of course there uh he's got all

00:38:10.120 the same sort of quotes in there as well um and it's and it's not just that let's see the button

00:38:14.360 works here we go so here we go this is france so in in in the uk sorry i don't mean to laugh but i

00:38:25.960 just love it it's like yes it's quite funny it's quite funny well france about to crash the global

00:38:29.800 economy so enjoy your pensions yes when the french heard that we were on the verge of an imf bailout

00:38:36.920 they were like well hang on a minute we need that we need it yeah and and at least in the uk they're

00:38:42.600 making half-hearted they're not trying very hard to deny it yeah you know they've had like one treasury

00:38:47.800 spokesman go and say are we are you exaggerating you think that spain's gonna put their hand up and

00:38:52.120 be like yeah quite yes next and the italians will be like well i mean this is this is a french um

00:38:57.720 finance minister eric lombard no he's saying no actually we're going to need it

00:39:04.280 so um yes amazing just so coming to your point um so are we going to get a a bailout from the imf

00:39:11.880 the reason i slightly hesitate on that is okay yes we're going to need one because

00:39:16.920 labour running out of money and everything they're doing is making things worse but but first if britain

00:39:23.320 and france need a bailout from the imf we need to ask the question who who's actually funding the imf i

00:39:29.800 was going to ask that yes well i get their money so there's basically six big countries and then a

00:39:35.160 tale of of smaller contributions um is britain one of the major contributions well let me go let me go

00:39:40.440 down the list who who make who who the big boys in the imf it's gonna be america um united states yes

00:39:45.400 they're first 16.5 percent of the voting share um tiny problem their debt to gdp ratio is higher than

00:39:52.600 ours oh but i mean they're america so they've got this kind of well special carve out when it comes

00:39:57.720 to financial affairs um to an extent yes no one's going to expect they're no they're not going to

00:40:03.480 they have got 33 trillion in debt so i that's kind of yeah it's kind of like a fictional thing at this

00:40:09.080 point um next in the list is japan um but they've got an even higher debt to gdp than we have they've

00:40:16.280 got 260 okay i mean we we're a bit over 100 right that sounds bad so so japan 260 i mean they've they

00:40:27.000 most certainly have their own problems right uh china oh yeah china they they make a relatively small 1.00

00:40:33.880 contribution but it ends up being you know one of the top six um for this uh they actually uh

00:40:40.280 only have debt to gdp of 84 percent oh yes and i'm sure the chinese would just be you know desperate 1.00

00:40:47.000 to help um you know the british i mean we've got a long history of cooperation you know we haven't

00:40:52.360 burnt down several of their major cities for at least 100 years at this point so i mean completely

00:40:56.680 no strings attached i'm sure yes yes i'm sure they won't want anything for it um things are looking

00:41:01.720 up now germany uh germany is uh the fourth biggest contributor to it um and their debt to gdp ratio

00:41:08.680 is only 65 percent so they're actually the only people on the list that are in a position to actually

00:41:13.240 do anything the only problem is is that german banks hold a hell of a lot of debt from british

00:41:20.120 banks but especially french banks so if the french system failed then german banks would need a

00:41:27.080 bailout all right and that would mean that germany wasn't then in a position to help france and the

00:41:31.960 uk and if the british ones fail at the same time yes they have to bail out yes it is a bit of a

00:41:37.080 problem twice quite right um and the last two countries on the list that could help france

00:41:43.400 and the united kingdom if they get into problems are france and the united kingdom i know so um yes

00:41:51.160 incredible first world countries folks yes needing needing an imf bailout and getting one is is a

00:42:00.840 slightly different proposition i mean it just it's so embarrassing it's like yeah yeah you know the

00:42:05.400 they're constantly oh britain's going to be a world leader in this it's going to be world leader on that

00:42:08.840 it's like bro we're getting like third world style bailouts from the ims and there's like mass unrest

00:42:14.920 everywhere everyone's poor and everyone's fleeing the country what are you talking about you've

00:42:19.080 screwed this up but the thing is i could fix all of if if if i was made supreme patriarch of the uk

00:42:25.400 tomorrow i could fix all of this in a year right lord protector dan how would you fix it um oh just

00:42:30.600 just just getting rid of a whole bunch of stuff i mean um shrink the benefits start capping off the

00:42:35.160 pensions um uh the nhs drain that in you know no no welfare for the for the immigrants it's perfectly 1.00

00:42:43.320 easy to do yeah i figured it would be the thing that's impossible to do is to get elected

00:42:48.680 on a plan to do it yeah doing any of that stuff any of it that's why elon musk fell uh fell off with

00:42:57.080 with donald trump because even donald trump was not brave enough to go after cutting the expenditure

00:43:04.440 that the so-called the entitlements as they call it in the us yeah nobody wants to touch that even

00:43:09.160 the republicans i mean there's there's often this idea that you know you've heard of some silly crazy

00:43:14.440 scheme that you can cut i mean in the western world it's all transfer payments so in the uk it

00:43:19.800 is um the nhs its pensions and its welfare you know and and also the uk state like has the odd

00:43:26.280 battleship and submarine and building and hot and buy some paper clips but i mean all of that other

00:43:30.760 stuff is immaterial it's the big three it's nhs pensions and welfare it's transfer payments and of

00:43:36.200 those the nhs and pensions i mean obviously they're basically just a subsidy of old people 1.00

00:43:41.160 of course which were introduced at a time when old people were poor but now one in five british

00:43:49.000 boomers is a millionaire yeah yeah the old people are actually doing quite well yes and welfare of 1.00

00:43:54.600 course and and you're not fixing the system unless you address those three sort of like greatest

00:43:59.320 generation and silent generation probably were poor and probably didn't oh they were yeah i mean that 0.99

00:44:03.320 that is actually a i mean that is kind of how we got into honestly how we got into this problem

00:44:08.040 was was age demographics so the greatest generation um went on for the war and for whatever reason

00:44:14.760 fighting a war gets you a bit oh a bit frisky so they had lots and lots of children and then the

00:44:20.440 boomers in the 80s they were kind of looking at their parents generation yeah and and and they thought

00:44:26.680 and what they realized was that being old and being poor was basically the same thing

00:44:31.160 so if you wanted a program to help poor people you just targeted old people because it served

00:44:37.640 exactly the same function helping old people and helping poor people was the same so they they

00:44:41.800 bolstered out the nhs they they brought in a whole load of um uh extra benefits for the pension and

00:44:48.840 you know eventually that ends up in the triple lock or the quadruple lock or whatever it is you're

00:44:52.200 going to end up with and it's very easy to do in the 80s because there was lots of boomers working 0.98

00:44:57.960 and very few retired people and the retired people didn't tend to live very long after they retired

00:45:02.760 the problem is is when those boomers then start to get to this point where they're all rolling out 1.00

00:45:08.920 of the workforce well there isn't a commensurately large generation propping up behind them and this

00:45:14.600 this is the real problem the boomers uh shrunk the generations that come after them yes every 0.99

00:45:21.000 generation after the boomers has been smaller yes so when the boomers a massive generation retire

00:45:25.800 you can't afford to pay for them well it used to be um something like four working age people

00:45:32.520 for every retired person yes and now it's about balanced the boomers only one two kids yes way

00:45:37.720 easier well and that so so that's the first problem that then leads us on to the second

00:45:43.080 problem and the second problem is well if the boomers didn't have enough kids well why don't we

00:45:48.600 just why don't we just import loads and loads of people the only option is he bob who grew up in 0.92

00:45:55.320 surrey and has been acclimatized to this country and knows how it works and is culturally compatible

00:46:01.800 is of the country yeah is exactly comparable to his granddad no uh what's the typical name in

00:46:10.600 bemalia abdul yes abdul he's he he's exactly interchangeable with with abdul and and that is

00:46:17.160 genuinely how our number crunchers in this country work they say okay well look the economy is that big

00:46:23.480 and it's got that many people in it so we know what the gdp per capita is yes so if we increase

00:46:28.120 the number of people then the gdp per capita will stay exactly the same because abdul from bemalia

00:46:36.120 is exactly interchangeable with bob and then the gdp will grow they're two steps ahead yes uh brilliant

00:46:43.400 plan the only problem is that it didn't work oh yes why not remittances well no it it it turns out

00:46:50.280 that the admiral fatma from from from bemalia uh when they turned up they didn't actually get an

00:46:57.720 accounting job oh they just kind of went on benefits he also brought four grandmas who all

00:47:02.920 needed benefit well yes yes so all the bills went up um but but no the gdp didn't arrive as well

00:47:09.960 so so the boomer problem led to the immigration problem um and none of those have have actually

00:47:16.760 stuck um i mean there's been other things i might do i might do a brokenomics on this to sort of

00:47:21.080 fully fully flesh this out or maybe i'll do that this week um but the response to 2008 was disastrous as

00:47:27.480 well so after 2008 they thought well so the banks they've had a problem have they tell you what from

00:47:34.600 now on banks are only going to lend to the government and on housing debt so that's why

00:47:43.640 houses continue to surge and they keep getting more expensive but no new businesses are open yeah i mean

00:47:49.560 you would think that loaning money to businesses was a good and clever idea yes so so basically when banks

00:47:56.920 create loans that they create money yes so if you're doing that and you're putting it into a

00:48:02.920 small business which in turn in future generates more money that's a multiplier effect that's good

00:48:09.320 money creation i would suggest that's actually how a real economy is created right well yes that that is

00:48:15.560 how both america and china became superpowers by doing that exact thing because if you're just pouring

00:48:21.720 it into fixed equity yes like a house yes i mean that doesn't actually generate money but if you if

00:48:28.120 after 2008 if you take all of the of the loan the money creation out of the economy and put it purely in

00:48:35.000 the government and housing what you get is a boom in government and housing no kidding yes yeah so there

00:48:43.320 is there is that shame we didn't get that boom in business isn't it uh yeah yes it it is a little bit

00:48:47.960 unfortunate um so so um it's worth drawing the comparison of course with um mistrust yes because

00:48:55.720 do you remember mistrust vaguely yes um every time i look at my mortgage statement well yes you say that

00:49:02.600 because i think she has sort of become a byword for financial incompetence seems a bit unfair given

00:49:08.520 the labour government well no two two things happened with listrust right and they happened on pretty much

00:49:14.840 the same day she came out with a mini budget and said i'm very slightly going to decrease the top

00:49:20.440 rate of tax crazy okay so that's one thing that happened unheard of on the same day the bank of

00:49:26.280 england also said we are going to sell an absolute shit ton of bonds really now what does that mean when

00:49:32.680 they do that well if if you if you flood the market with anything the price tends to go down i believe

00:49:39.720 so now what happened that day is the price of bonds went down and the rest of the world looked at this

00:49:46.200 and said oh look the government that's right the bank of england has just dumped a shitload of bonds

00:49:50.920 on the market and also liz trust has very very slightly reduced the top rate of tax which one of

00:49:57.800 these things have caused the price of the bonds to crash well it's obviously liz trust is very very

00:50:03.560 minor tax decrease so i mean this is why liz trust has been saying that the bank of england snaked her 0.53

00:50:08.920 to get her out of power because they are not happy with the idea of a very very minor tax cut well so

00:50:17.560 so the so opinions differ amongst economists as to which which is true um economists who know what

00:50:24.040 they're talking about people like me say that it was a hundred percent the bank of england it looks

00:50:27.880 up and um the entire say the other the entire establishment the entire media um entire government

00:50:35.080 class whitehall they all say no it's liz trust very tiny tax cut that did it to be fair to this trust

00:50:40.520 this is something that these obscure unelected powers banks central banks or the so-called rating agencies

00:50:49.880 do they wreak havoc with democracies and the will of the people they did exactly the same thing almost

00:50:55.160 exactly the same thing with the government of silvio berlusconi which for a long time until this

00:51:00.920 current government was the last democratically elected prime minister of italy yeah they just

00:51:06.760 scrapped democracy after that didn't they exactly because this i don't know if it was a standard and

00:51:10.840 poor or whoever it was these rating agencies they wake up and they say okay your credit or credibility

00:51:16.840 index whatever it's called it's no longer triple a plus we just remove the plus or one of the a's and

00:51:22.280 suddenly the interest you pay on your government debt skyrockets and the government everybody

00:51:28.200 panics the government that's why i mentioned this trust because the the the evidence given for why she 0.99

00:51:33.720 was so incompetent after you know with that setup is that long-term government borrowing costs went to

00:51:39.880 4.8 percent right but it was artificial 4.8 percent so so bear in mind 4.8 percent is considered to be

00:51:48.920 such a large number that your name can become a byword for financial incompetence if you go beyond

00:51:54.440 4.8 percent i mean it sounds bad should we have a look at where the uk is under rachel reeves under

00:52:01.160 rachel reeves so um this is this is a chart of the last six months uh of of where rates are let's put it

00:52:10.280 here we go last six months of where rates are 5.7 right in fact it has not been below five for this

00:52:18.360 entire year oh wow yeah so when when was it last out four point eight percent just out of interest

00:52:25.240 i mean uh you might need here we go so right you put on the five years and then you're you might be

00:52:33.080 able to see the list trust blip yeah there you go you can see the list trust blip there you go

00:52:37.640 which today that would be considered a considerable reduction in rates well yes

00:52:43.400 i mean that that is yeah that's been that way for at least six months oh the entire year we've not

00:52:50.120 been below five percent yeah yeah i can see interesting interesting so when does rachel reeves 1.00

00:52:55.480 get kicked out when does kia starmer get kicked out because the other thing like i i should mention is

00:53:01.560 okay yes the imf bailout is unlikely because they haven't got enough money um but the big what

00:53:10.760 could really just yeah the imf would love to give you a bailout would you haven't got it you know yes

00:53:15.880 sorry slightly unfortunate um god the laffer curve yes so the idea is is the the laffer curve it starts

00:53:24.520 and ends at zero if the tax rate is zero you collect zero in tax if the tax rate is a hundred percent you

00:53:30.520 also collect zero in tax because what's the point of working if everything immediately gets taken away

00:53:35.240 from you and so there's a curve in the middle and and you're basically the art the the concern is

00:53:41.080 and and i would make this case that we're already beyond the top of the laffer curve so any tax rises

00:53:46.440 from here are going to result in less tax being collected rather than more well they've already found

00:53:51.320 that from the last year's budget haven't they well well they have but the black hole that the government

00:53:58.360 has got is is getting larger i mean to put this in perspective take take june for example i can't

00:54:02.040 believe they couldn't fill in a black hole yes in in june um the government borrowed um was it 20.7

00:54:10.680 billion i think 20.7 billion they borrowed in june the the worrying thing is do you know how much of

00:54:16.760 that was just paying the interest on the debt oh it's something like a third or something isn't it 16

00:54:21.560 billion see whoa whoa really jesus so three quarters of it is servicing debt jesus christ yes it's not

00:54:30.040 good you can see why we're heading black hole is it getting filled in i don't know what's going on

00:54:35.000 it's getting bigger now now you you asked how i would fix it i would fix it by massively cutting

00:54:40.760 spending yes but cutting spending is ideological kryptonite to labor so there is zero chance they're

00:54:47.000 going to do that so those granny needs those benefits well yes but the big crisis will come 0.99

00:54:52.280 when she's going to have to have a budget fairly soon and in that budget she's almost certainly

00:54:58.040 not going to substantially cut spending across the board she's almost certainly going to raise taxes 1.00

00:55:03.720 yes now when she raises taxes by a huge amount and tax revenue collection actually goes down that's 1.00

00:55:10.920 what triggers that's what really triggers the crisis because at that point it's like okay the labor

00:55:16.520 government have got no idea and everything they're doing is making everything worse rather than

00:55:20.360 better and everything's punitive at that point yeah so i'm going after like things that i mean like

00:55:27.320 i mean it's just everything but like you know the the tax on unrealized gains and stuff like that so

00:55:31.400 that's money that doesn't exist we're just going to tax you for money that doesn't exist just

00:55:35.160 because it's unrealized capital gains or something it's unbelievable yes the concept itself sort of

00:55:40.040 nonsense like this so so the markets are well aware that the next budget is crucial yes and coming

00:55:46.280 kia starmer is well aware that the next budget is crucial if she doesn't land it labor are 1.00

00:55:54.920 possibly finished because we will get because if we if we end up going to the imf there'll be a

00:55:59.000 there'll be a vote of no confidence or they'll be forced out of government some other way so the

00:56:03.400 next budget is absolutely crucial so what kia starmer has done is he has found he's looked for his

00:56:09.480 rolodex and he's found the most economically competent people he can and he's had a mini reshuffle

00:56:16.360 and he's put them around rachel reeves to make to keep an eye on her while she's preparing this

00:56:22.840 budget and if we get into the situation i talked about where they put up taxes and then tax revenue

00:56:29.480 actually goes down the result of that will be well at that point they even need to massively cut

00:56:35.240 spending which they should be doing now or more likely they just print the money yeah and if they

00:56:39.640 print money then the value of the pound will fall so you can already tell what the market thinks about

00:56:46.920 this reshuffle by the direction of the currency because markets are obviously not going to wait

00:56:51.720 around for the printing to begin they're going to start selling off now so if this reshuffle goes ahead

00:56:57.240 which it has done this morning and the pound rises it's worked and if the pound falls it's failed

00:57:04.520 so let's check out how that went shall we oh pound fall sharply in wake of starmer's reset

00:57:11.880 oh dear at least angela rayner looks cool who is that yes not not her problem is it well well

00:57:17.320 three homes and i would say it's very much her opportunity actually i think she might be prime

00:57:22.600 minister in six months i'm sure she'll fix all of the problems yes because the thing is that these

00:57:26.840 people have just got nowhere to go right like they they know they're not going to do cuts so

00:57:30.840 there's nothing they're going to do they can't in somehow magically increase growth sharp sharp

00:57:37.240 fall in the pound there's some there's some great bits in there government net approval rate

00:57:42.040 hits lowest level okay uh yeah because i'm sorry sorry go up go go go go

00:57:46.440 11 who are these mythical 11 i think they probably work for the party or the nhs yeah

00:57:54.920 yeah yeah yeah um there was a my relationship with reeve is stronger yeah she isn't that long left has

00:58:01.560 she um starmer to chair meeting on immigration like oh my god has it got to the point we actually have

00:58:09.080 to do something about it um more pain for labor in the polls um sacking reeds would be kind

00:58:16.360 of in this humiliation um david larry doesn't have a clue what's going on there was a fantastic

00:58:23.080 this keeps getting added to but there was oh i love this bit yes so um labor peer things haven't

00:58:30.120 been fantastic ha ha british understatement difficult for this yeah what's that baroness count harkonnen

00:58:36.280 or something insisted on tuesday uh where's the quote yes i'm not going to sugar pill uh i'm not going

00:58:41.560 to sugar the pill and say everything has been fantastic far from it yes yes that's about right

00:58:46.360 and uh somewhere in here we've got a chart of uh the pound there we go uh one of the biggest one

00:58:52.760 day falls in in many a year so uh slightly unfortunate i will end on a quote however uh

00:58:59.240 from keir starmer and the quote is the government has lost control of the british economy and for what

00:59:06.920 we've crashed they've crashed the pound for what higher interest rates higher inflation higher borrowing

00:59:12.840 and for what not for you that that was a quote by keir starmer now we said it three years ago during

00:59:17.240 the reign of yes yes but um nevertheless entirely pertinent well on that note let's let's move on to

00:59:25.480 more of uh keir starmer so uh we'll we'll get some of the comments at the end sorry um in the interest

00:59:31.240 of time we'll move on right i've chosen a bunch of tweets or x posts and of course it's quite fitting as

00:59:38.120 you mentioned graeme linehan has been reportedly arrested by a bunch of armed police officers uh

00:59:46.040 that's a smart use of resources isn't it i mean thank goodness they're wrong can you imagine what

00:59:51.080 graeme would have done to those five men if they weren't heavily armed absolutely um so the topic is

00:59:57.160 of course two-tier policing two-tier care and two-tier uh justice uh so a tale of two flags you see that was

01:00:06.440 on the right we have the peak of uh pro gaza pro hamas depending how you want to see it protest uh

01:00:13.240 violating vandalizing uh monuments in white hall uh no consequences obviously whereas in epping forest

01:00:21.240 which has been the hotbed of uh flag protests this lady has uh as you can see it's a government 1.00

01:00:28.440 council district building has tried to um affect somehow the and like a racist

01:00:35.880 it's it's it's the union jack so it's the right kind of flag because as we were discussing sometimes

01:00:41.960 our overlords hide themselves behind the union jack because the union jack can be actually repurposed

01:00:47.480 with an imperial sense because it's the flag of the country that issues the passports and uh grants the

01:00:54.120 nationalities the citizenship so when they want to take a you know middle position they say no i'm i'm

01:01:00.360 totally fine with the union jack it's not because it's not the saint george's uh ethnically uh you

01:01:06.280 know uh uh charged uh flag um but still she has been arrested unlike the case the incompetence of 0.87

01:01:17.400 the police because can you could you imagine how many tyrants throughout history would be absolutely

01:01:21.960 delighted to find that their protesters are hanging the national flag i know i mean they're the ones

01:01:27.880 normally hanging the national flag themselves yes but but but the police are just so retarded they're 1.00

01:01:33.480 like yeah get her make an example of her she's flying the flag for racist reasons i mean i want to 1.00

01:01:39.080 be a bit fair to the poor police but at this point anyone who joins these forces for that salary i'd

01:01:45.640 rather have my kids work at mcdonald's or something than doing the being the lackeys and the stooges of

01:01:52.520 this sort of system maybe maybe 10 years ago if you joined you still didn't know but today you know

01:01:58.120 just being uh having to manhandle and and and arrest your fellow uh ethnic brethren for flying the 0.86

01:02:07.720 national flag i mean it's ridiculous yeah i agree with dan police forces all over the world would be

01:02:12.760 scratching their heads i mean this is what you have to deal with so you know so that that was that

01:02:18.520 ridiculous it's so stupid what happened i flew the british flag oh where this is our friend 0.87

01:02:22.920 leo cares calls it a tale of two well i call it a tale of two roundabouts so you see um one roundabout

01:02:31.000 the obviously the painted in the colors of uh saint george's the police is going to investigate that

01:02:36.600 as vandalism crop up all over the place i've been driving around a lot for the last two weeks and

01:02:40.600 they're all over the place it's a genuinely viral resistance thank god for that whereas this one is

01:02:45.160 obviously government sponsored uh tax uh taxpayer funded and vandalizing this in contrast to the

01:02:54.200 other one was uh to be investigated thank thank vandalizing the true religion of the state exactly

01:03:00.840 of course so so then you see where the government uh allegiance is and what what the real agenda is

01:03:07.640 is so this is another cartoon uh this is a a a sizable account on twitter she says she's born and

01:03:17.000 raised in spain so it's interesting that it's also catching the attention of people all around the

01:03:21.400 world so again the bobbies are removing uh saint george's flags while the lady has been uh pickpocketed 0.60

01:03:28.680 by this is totally true something like 95 of robberies and like petty crimes go uninvestigated absolutely

01:03:34.680 it's unbelievable so but you know they got the flags so that was important i don't know if it

01:03:39.320 was leicester or somewhere else a few years ago there was a scandal where it turned out that the

01:03:44.440 police would show up at house burglaries only if the number was either even or odd that was their way

01:03:49.960 of cutting really the the back it was all everywhere yeah so they had this internal protocol okay who was

01:03:56.600 called what's what's the house number odd or even and they would show only at 50 of the cases so

01:04:02.440 that's interesting yeah so if you if you if you it's literally a lottery if you ring the police

01:04:07.720 and they don't show up to your burglary just ring them back and and give them a different actually

01:04:11.080 i'm at 17 not 16 yeah you know i'll just look out for you when you get here yeah that that was

01:04:17.160 actually a story um yeah it was you are right in 2015 leicestershire police oh leicestershire again yeah

01:04:21.960 yeah the the new method has been called quote ethically dubious and this was when it was highly

01:04:27.400 effective it saved them loads of time literally cut the house burglaries in half

01:04:31.480 and maybe that was that was way before the whole uh flag removing uh operations and choreographed

01:04:38.680 dance for lgbt parades you know drawing rainbows on the road this is so ridiculous that leicestershire

01:04:45.560 police conducted a three-month trial in which crime investigators were told only to attend attempted

01:04:49.800 burglaries when the victim lived in an even numbered house why are you telegraphing it to burglars just go

01:04:54.920 for the odd numbers so much for justice for all right oh it's ridiculous god damn it man 0.83

01:05:01.080 that's really stupid sorry karen no it's okay we can move on but i just think this is good that 0.76

01:05:05.960 it's also an international story now here we have another compare and contrast on the left we have

01:05:12.280 uh presumably homeless person paid into the system on the right we have arrived illegally by boat somali

01:05:18.360 flag stays in a sorry i'm gonna fact check you on this one because i saw a bunch of uh lib

01:05:24.280 fact checkers going excuse me they're not all in four-star hotels yeah some of them are in three

01:05:30.680 hotels i was like well there we go you got us there and it's not always a three meal course

01:05:36.280 or three course meal and this this this this makes a good point but i also want to um warn against uh

01:05:46.440 a pitfall because even if they and we discussed this a bit even if they do pay into the system

01:05:53.720 i think we have a right to decide if that's what we really want because you cannot just define a

01:05:58.920 nation as an economic zone where everybody's paying taxes and raising the gdp right because

01:06:05.640 there is more to it there's an identity there's kinmanship there's trust there's shared values and all

01:06:12.120 that so at the best of times because they are always like yeah they need to come in to pay the

01:06:17.000 pension and as if this is a company that we're running exactly exactly i don't care if you pay

01:06:21.880 your tax i mean often they don't but that's another you should but that's why you're here right even if

01:06:26.200 you do we are i think any nation is well within their rights to decide what sort of people we want

01:06:31.480 and we just don't want to be an economic zone we want to be a nation a family okay now what else do we

01:06:38.360 have the next one now this has been something first ian miles chong again he's based in malaysia

01:06:45.240 i don't know if he's a british national or not but it's interesting that these people all over the

01:06:49.880 world are raising these issues he has uh broken this news or maybe someone else seven year contracts

01:06:56.920 between the british government and the hotels and elon musk which if this can so just as a quick

01:07:02.360 thing was good yeah just a quick thing on this yes the government has been paying hotel owners

01:07:07.480 uh huge amounts of money uh to house uh something like 50 000 illegals there are about 180 000 who

01:07:15.800 have broken in over the last five years but in at the moment i think it's something like 50 000

01:07:20.280 they're actually putting up in hotels uh it has made one migrant hotel owner called graham king a

01:07:25.480 billionaire uh 35 increase in his hotel empire from government spending and there was a chap the other

01:07:32.360 day who was like yeah they offered me three million for seven years and i said no because it'd ruin the

01:07:36.680 place and so absolute patriot so uh yes yeah completely correct kudos to him but yeah just like

01:07:42.200 the diversity and victimhood business we were discussing the so-called um solidarity business

01:07:49.240 is also big money and it's great that elon musk has i mean he's he's heavy on the government's case so

01:07:55.240 many tweets about the grooming gangs obviously and this one as well and he's making a very valid point

01:08:00.360 i believe if this is a seven-year contract it means the government is even actually saddling and

01:08:06.040 burdening the next government which is there's no way in hell they're gonna re-win the elections

01:08:10.520 sure they don't think they're saddling their uh successors with this burden and this shows they are

01:08:16.520 not actually uh truthful when they say they want to fix this problem because this looks like very much

01:08:21.240 long term 100 okay this was actually elon musk's uh post the original post is unavailable now for some

01:08:33.080 reason uh yesterday it was actually his pinned post that talking about the rape of britain and it was

01:08:38.920 the story of a girl in oldham who goes to the police to report rape she was allegedly a minor and

01:08:45.960 allegedly uh drunk or at least that's what the police tell her go back can you imagine go back

01:08:52.200 and come back when you're sober and with an adult and as she leaves the police station again she's

01:08:57.160 accosted and raped and again on her way to home she's she's raped multiple times yeah this happened

01:09:02.120 i think 2013 something like it's a few years old but it's one of those i think it was an olden or

01:09:07.160 something yeah it's it's it's one of those stories where it's just god yeah okay yeah being raped

01:09:12.440 three times in one is saying she was 12 years old yeah i think it's great that somebody with the um

01:09:19.080 you know clout and caliber of elon musk is super putting pressure and also doing uh yeah yeah um

01:09:26.840 yeah this is the original post and then we have this week we heard the archbishop of um i think it's

01:09:32.600 york it is um there isn't an archbishop of canterbury at the moment at the rate this guy's going he's not

01:09:38.120 going to get replaced either we'll end up with zero archbishops because yeah like you say like

01:09:43.400 the deportation plans are un-british un-christian and beneath us bro do you know how much pressure

01:09:47.800 we have to put on forage to get him to agree to deportations yeah shut up yes yeah now he's

01:09:53.240 throwing a spanner in the works and i just don't it's again a suicide talk about western collective

01:09:59.080 suicide and you know you can only compare this to white women who vote for open borders and 1.00

01:10:04.680 and then complain about insecurity on the streets of london and this this thing you you are

01:10:12.040 um promoting or advocating for for importing hordes of infidels who want you dead and who want 1.00

01:10:19.640 your religion to be um wiped out it's unchristian not to bring in millions of muslims what yeah i mean 0.96

01:10:26.760 it's it's it's the lowest form of uh the mo the the the dumbest form of charity if you like imagine

01:10:33.480 if in the 12th century just as our lads were going off to fight the crusades we had archbishops

01:10:38.520 basically advocating for the other side it'd be wild they get that that wouldn't last very well no

01:10:45.080 this is from jonathan of course uh our friend and old colleague here at lotus eaters uh this goes to

01:10:52.360 dispel what i was telling you non-western and the source is uh ucl uh university university college

01:10:59.560 london non-western immigrants are actually a net drain so it's it that myth is not even true that

01:11:06.520 they contribute gdp is actually a negative gdp yeah and by the way what is gdp because if they buy vapes

01:11:12.680 and send money home and pay commission on that or phone cases for their mobile that's all gdp right

01:11:20.120 well the biggest component of gdp is state spending yeah exactly so if the state spent happier society or

01:11:26.600 gdp goes up yeah ridiculous so but uh right so yeah this is not worth our time as you correctly

01:11:34.600 point out and this is in denmark as well so it's not like this is like a unique case either is it

01:11:39.880 yeah exactly so we can move on to the next one again fact checking pointed out by nick dixon you know

01:11:44.840 rylan clark has apparently been sacked from this morning so and just as a quick thing for anyone uh

01:11:50.440 any of our foreign viewers watching the mirror is a left-wing but lowbrow paper and so they've 0.97

01:11:56.120 decided to fact check him for saying actually i'll let you carry on yeah so he he said look

01:12:02.200 migrants come around and of course the message we said you have nothing to lose everything to gain 1.00

01:12:06.440 worst thing that can happen to you if at all is that they send you back what they want and as

01:12:10.600 soon as you arrive here's the hotel here's the phones ipad nhs english course discount for the gym

01:12:16.280 uh this one pound to get into the london transport museum as opposed to as opposed to 20 uh pounds for

01:12:23.320 the usual citizens um and the good people that the mirror have fact-checked right and have come up with

01:12:30.680 well you know the iphones and ipads are provided by charities so they are not always taxpayer i'm glad

01:12:37.400 they're george soros funded i mean good for them but the rest of it is all correct we're still

01:12:42.200 funding the nhs we're still giving them 40 pounds a week spending money we're still paying for their

01:12:45.880 food their accommodation the nhs any other like you know dental work or whatever we're paying for

01:12:51.080 all of it i used to not the iphone i used to be an interpreter for some of these um um you know

01:12:58.040 legal studios who interview and prep the asylum seekers right right so you had this the asylum seeker

01:13:06.040 who is um being interviewed by the home office for his asylum application and these of course with

01:13:14.520 legal aid paid by the taxpayer so these legal studios are coaching him how to go through with

01:13:22.200 this procedure and at the same time you have another legal studio representing him against the government

01:13:29.560 suing the government because upon arrival he has been housed in some military barracks as opposed to the

01:13:35.320 hotel and these military barracks were actually facilities where british servicemen were housed in

01:13:41.240 so they were not like terrible places but these people simultaneously were suing the government

01:13:47.080 you had two parallel cases and they were assured that look regardless of the outcome of you suing

01:13:51.400 the government over the military barracks it will have no bearing on your asylum application uh

01:13:57.720 outcome you know so this is and of course two cases both financed by legal aid so this is the

01:14:02.920 situation but then the good people have mirrors well that all adds to gdp yeah exactly it's all gdp

01:14:09.160 when the backlash comes it's going to be so justified and i think this is the last thing i chose it's in

01:14:15.160 persian this is an iranian account um but they are actually mocking us uh why wouldn't you mark

01:14:23.720 these are iranians who are of course being anti-government are very much anti-islam and anti-islamic republic so

01:14:30.840 they say what the hell is going on with britain they are hiring someone close to 50k per year to

01:14:36.760 be a muslim chaplain because the prison population is predominantly muslims and again this is gdp as

01:14:43.240 well yeah it's raw gdp right in front of your eyes and they they were they were joking underneath this in

01:14:50.520 the comments that you know if i were not so much anti-islam i would apply because yeah yeah why not

01:14:56.120 there's 50k almost yeah 50 grand's 50 grand man you know you can't look like a gift horse in the

01:15:00.440 mouth ah bloody hell i wonder how many bishops saudi arabia employ for the for the christian 0.51

01:15:07.480 prison population they have you know what i don't even blame them for employing none 0.66

01:15:11.560 i agree with it it's just that we're stupid enough not to anyway uh rob says uh to my knowledge out of

01:15:19.240 all the debate podcasts i've seen not a single person has asked a white leftist why do you hate being

01:15:23.000 white do you hate the white face looking back in the mirror perhaps you should ask them honestly 0.86

01:15:28.120 the thing is you can find them talking about that sort of stuff and they will say yeah i'm embarrassed

01:15:32.520 by like eminem came out and said he said he was embarrassed to be white didn't he uh do you want

01:15:37.080 to get the video comments up samson uh eminem uh said that he was embarrassed to be white a few years

01:15:41.240 ago it's like no shut up you're embarrassing me because you're white now shut up you know um 0.99

01:15:46.920 um archbishop archbigot of durham says you don't need archbishops what you need is archbigots dm me

01:15:53.880 canterbury is opener here uh matt says uh will the uk get an influx of seniors from spain if uk

01:15:58.840 pensions are cancelled or reduced well that that great question right if the uk pension somehow

01:16:05.000 doesn't pay out what are the pensioners retiring in spain or magaluf or wherever gonna do right yeah

01:16:11.160 some of them are gonna be in trouble they're gonna have to come back right or become destitute in those

01:16:15.000 countries um uh thank you reverend norse and uh joshua says damn would my banking proposal be

01:16:22.440 helpful here possibly uh the byproduct of socialism is systemic oppression which is obviously true

01:16:27.640 uh came to a real court cornwall and i read that one already right uh right let's go to the video

01:16:31.960 comments

01:16:44.280 yeah that's basically been how they've been reacting they have been very sure to inform us that

01:16:48.440 saint george was turkish which is not true but no but they love it don't they they they've got their

01:16:54.520 narrative and they're sticking with it he was a roman soldier and time traveler he was

01:16:59.080 now that's absolutely true uh and they they're very clear that he never came to england it's like

01:17:04.120 yes because england didn't exist in the second century so yes that's true also um but anyway

01:17:09.720 thank you lefty shit libs appreciate that let's go to the next one kia starmer's a wanker beep if you 0.91

01:17:15.400 agree a lot of people agree

01:17:17.560 11 approval rating folks none of them going through that road yeah just i mean if if i was

01:17:30.520 honestly if i was in the government and my approval rating was 11 i'd just shoot myself

01:17:35.160 i'd just do the honorable thing and go down into the starmer bunker and

01:17:38.840 it is whiskey in the revolver time really do the honorable thing yeah exactly what are you still doing

01:17:43.640 here kia i mean he has he has no shame twice he has been asked in front of or next to donald trump

01:17:51.400 and jd vance about the free speech issue and he has looked straight in his eyes or into the camera in

01:17:58.600 front of all the press said graham line and dessert no no that would have been truthful we have literally

01:18:06.600 i said we have free speech in britain and we are quite proud of it he said that in in the us in the white

01:18:12.360 house and in scotland this time around i'm curious this month later as trump comes over

01:18:16.920 to london what what's going to be the story no you're right that that would be truthful that would

01:18:20.840 actually be an upgrade on the what the the yeah exactly yeah no he just he's just flat out lies to

01:18:26.040 his face and everyone's like we know you're lying like i'm sure starmer knows he's lying uh

01:18:30.760 vanson trump knows sure let's go let's go to the next one

01:18:36.520 hello i haven't sent in a video for ages so here's some pottery happening

01:18:41.320 um this will become a mug i'll put some handle well a handle on it i'll pull some handles later

01:18:48.680 but i probably won't do a video because it looks obscene um what color should it be should i decorate

01:18:55.400 it let me know let me know what i should do and i might send in another video bye well i always really

01:19:04.040 like dark green i think it's a very nice color dark green you know especially if you can get a fade on it

01:19:09.800 you know it looks it looks gorgeous um so that's what i would go for but do send in your suggestions

01:19:15.560 let's go to the next one so recently there was a protest rally here in australia about ending mass

01:19:21.800 migration and also celebrating australia the lefty government did not support the rally labeling it a

01:19:29.400 far-right march which considering their vocal support for the gaza march is unsurprising unfortunately

01:19:36.920 towards the end some neo-nazis hijacked the rally and mainstream media portrayed them as the main

01:19:43.000 organizers despite the presence of many diverse attendees who were not white

01:19:49.480 well that's the thing isn't it yeah you're always going to have a radical fringe of retards 1.00

01:19:54.440 who are here to ruin it for everyone either that or their feds or their feds uh i think they actually

01:20:00.280 they know everyone the guy who runs it is known so it's probably not that he's a fed it's probably

01:20:06.520 more that he's a retard um but you know what are you gonna do yeah someone's got to come out and ruin 0.93

01:20:11.240 it for everyone uh anyway zesty king says i traveled to leicestershire uh leicester a few months ago after

01:20:16.840 wandering into a residential area and being stared at for being white i found a great mural on the side

01:20:21.800 of the pub in the city center it was of a crusading night with three saint george's crosses in no man's

01:20:26.280 land next to a british tommy spit fires in a field of poppies i couldn't help but feel that this is

01:20:30.520 an admission by the presumably english owner of the pub that they were surrounded and i knew it

01:20:35.320 instead of fleeing they were willing to stand that's commendable yeah that is very commendable

01:20:40.200 because it's entirely possible that gets vandalized you know but uh russian says lived in leicester for

01:20:45.800 four years there is literally a road in north leicester that divides the muslim side from the hindu and

01:20:50.360 sikh side they do not integrate they do not mix they hate each other multiculturalism is a 1.00

01:20:54.520 pointless exercise in futility well i mean that's only according to the university of leicester's

01:20:58.200 own report on leicester what do i know i've not been to leicester uh kevin says call me surprised

01:21:03.800 that the university that is 53 non-white thinks the countryside is too white yeah that was another 1.00

01:21:08.520 thing as well in the uh in the report there was a particular quote by uh a white man with a disability

01:21:15.320 and uh he says something like well yeah when i go to the police they just don't believe me but they

01:21:19.720 look like you pointing to the interviewer uh then they take it more seriously so that tells you that

01:21:24.200 the interviewers are exactly diverse um yeah so uh yeah no that's totally true uh first keeper

01:21:31.240 all and says a little town of glossop is roughly 98 normal but still has one of the fair share of

01:21:37.080 turkish barbers and vape shops roughly five recently a reform council so there's some scrap of hope yes

01:21:43.080 it's wild isn't it like you know you go to the most remote sort of uh parochial villages in england

01:21:49.160 and somehow there's a bloody turkish barber it's like where do they get the intelligence that these 0.61

01:21:53.720 villages exist like there's one in like you know fish garden whales or you know tiny tiny like like

01:21:59.560 there's no way that some turk in turkey some kurdika in turkey it's just like okay i'm going there

01:22:04.120 guys like how did you know that existed anyway they must scout the territory quite well they must

01:22:09.800 hear they spread the network jimbo says went into the oldest pub in lancashire on saturday

01:22:15.000 still a straw on the roof and proudly have the union jack flying outside everyone seemed to know 0.68

01:22:18.920 each other and treat each other as such there are many sleeping shires who haven't been diversified 0.83

01:22:23.000 yet and it was lovely to see well i mean there needs to be a massive uptick in racism given the

01:22:28.200 advocacy that we have for diversity because apparently diversity just brings with it racism

01:22:33.080 says the university of leicester using leicester as an example i mean it's just not a great advertisement

01:22:38.360 but what do i know colin says experienced racism in the home interestingly vague phrasing i wonder

01:22:44.520 how much of that is other family members saying racist things about other people rather than

01:22:47.720 the respondent well yeah who knows right who knows but um it is interesting how even in their

01:22:52.280 own homes they're being racist maybe mom and dad are from different tribes yeah yeah it could well

01:22:57.240 be actually yeah it could all be i don't know uh derek says if you want lessons on how to practice

01:23:02.120 sovereign austerity look to greece is that is greece a good example of this um no not really i mean

01:23:10.120 they i didn't think so forced on the massive pension cuts civil service cuts um one of the imf

01:23:17.080 conditions that they put on greece oh right okay so slash the pension slash the private sector wages

01:23:22.040 sell the airports how can they slash private sector wages um by just saying okay from now on you're

01:23:27.880 getting paid less oh right okay they can actually just do that yeah but so i mean all of the spending

01:23:32.680 cuts were good but they also put up taxes right so the the debt to gdp in greece i think stayed at

01:23:38.280 180 and it just basically stayed there so so yes they did cut the spending but they also made it

01:23:43.480 impossible to grow out of it because nobody could get a job there anymore so it doesn't actually solve

01:23:48.440 the problem so the last thing you want to do is go to the imf they just make things well why would

01:23:53.000 they want to fix uh private sector wages don't you want higher wages so people can pay more tax

01:23:58.680 um no because all they want to do is is shrink the deficit as fast as possible in the in the least

01:24:04.040 creative way possible so what you should do is cut all of the spending but also cut taxes so that

01:24:09.240 you then grow out the other side but what they do is they cut the spending which is good but also

01:24:12.920 in taxes keep you just keep some status yeah okay james says so since reeves is sending our economy

01:24:19.960 down the toilet uh what do normal people do dan find god uh store tin food baseball bats um keep

01:24:28.360 large amounts of money out the bank have you ever watched 28 days later yes basically don't don't have

01:24:33.240 too much money in the bank because i mean in cyprus they just came along and just took it

01:24:37.560 that's wild yeah mental so what the mattress or you mean gold bitcoin that kind of anything physical

01:24:44.200 gold or bitcoin would be probably my go-to's on that yeah zesty king says won't the imf have conditions

01:24:49.880 for a bailout well what will those be down well the things i just mentioned yeah you'll be cut

01:24:54.280 spending across the board and increase taxes jimbo says it's almost like theater any bailout from the

01:24:59.080 imf will just continue to go towards the agenda nothing extracts wealth like bad ideas posing as

01:25:03.320 solutions uh yep entitlements are a literal pyramid scheme that relies on infinite people being added to

01:25:08.520 the system and then you funnily understand immigration don't you uh omar says taxing non-existent

01:25:14.600 wealth label unironically turn the laffer curve into a sine wave

01:25:20.520 uh zesty king to quote benjamin disraeli there is no economy where there is no efficiency and he said that

01:25:25.320 that in 1868 yep gavin says leftists the migrants pay taxes yep abdul came over on a dinghy got ilr and

01:25:33.560 has a job at a garage working for minimum wage however they then bought his three wives and eight

01:25:37.560 children who don't work and are all claiming benefits even a backwards place like thailand 1.00

01:25:41.240 has rules in place that say you can live there and on a work visa but if you want to bring your

01:25:45.960 family over you have to pay for everything they need or they don't come in now why can't we do that

01:25:51.560 also if you enter on a work student medical visa and stop working studying or finish your treatment

01:25:55.960 you get out yeah i mean this this is the problem with all of everything that's happening is that it

01:26:03.000 is the choice of the british state there is none of this is being forced upon us like we have chosen

01:26:09.560 absolutely every single stupid thing that we've decided to do it's almost as if it's great replacement

01:26:14.360 by design but you say that and some of our own friends yeah freak out in the sensible sensible right or

01:26:20.200 conservatives call us the woke right yeah and it's like sorry they're doing intentionally i mean

01:26:25.240 they literally say we need immigration to prop up this to prop up that to prop up the other so okay

01:26:30.280 and they know they outbreed us statistics are clear the population of the southern side of

01:26:35.480 mediterranean has has grown threefold fourfold in the past few decades so it's obvious so how how come

01:26:41.800 the government the government we have governments and this government who predict the temperatures

01:26:47.560 in the not so distant future how come they cannot predict the population yeah yeah so it's obvious

01:26:52.680 it's intentional you saw matt goodwin's uh population graph the other day a couple of months ago right

01:26:57.800 where it's like yes but was it 2060 or something that the english will become a minority in england

01:27:03.480 and it's like so it's perfectly conceivable because i mean and that's assuming they don't just

01:27:08.040 boris johnson us some more and keep cranking open the floodgates but it's inevitable this is going to

01:27:12.280 happen and i mean you know i'm sure that the gdp will pay for itself and eventually uh anonymity

01:27:18.920 says uh labor wants to allow the illegals to work straight away so they pay taxes in three years 0.94

01:27:23.160 they'll argue they should be able to vote well well wales already does that wales already allows

01:27:28.200 illegals to vote in their elections um but it is a matter of time that this happens in britain and

01:27:33.480 the thing is it's all back to front obviously because obviously someone born overseas should never 1.00

01:27:38.200 have political power they should never be able to claim benefits they should not be

01:27:42.040 franchised in any way shape or form they should be treated essentially like the athenians treated 1.00

01:27:46.280 the metics so the metics were a class of immigrant workers like artisans small businessmen who were

01:27:52.760 allowed to live and work in athens pay taxes and profit from living in athens uh because they were

01:27:57.720 part of like you know a trade network but they they had no political enfranchisement whatsoever

01:28:02.520 and why would they like what would be the reason for it right and yet here we are at the point

01:28:07.880 where we've got i mean we've had foreign born well like non-ethnically native prime ministers now

01:28:15.240 i mean they're not literally an african in charge because she's well she's a first-generation 0.99

01:28:19.080 immigrant yeah so it's it's it's literally the next tory leader will presumably be somebody who

01:28:22.840 hasn't even come to the country yet but it's vaguely open to relocating if they win

01:28:28.840 that's precisely what i think is going to happen actually um if the hotels are full of illegals 0.99

01:28:34.440 lazla asks how do you still have a tourism industry that's a great question uh i'm not

01:28:40.280 sure we could say we have much of a tournament tourism industry these days uh i mean the thing

01:28:45.080 is a lot of the places people used to go for tourism you don't really want to go now but the government

01:28:49.560 of australia and its official website is advising caution or extreme caution for australians who visit

01:28:56.200 london same with the chinese the chinese like go to london and they're quite racist about the 1.00

01:29:00.760 demographics they pick out i'm more honest yeah yeah they're more old chinese yeah lack of uh 1.00

01:29:07.160 political correctness in that regard if the police and councils lead into it it would be dismantled

01:29:11.880 and stopped like when the boomer or millennial leans into a meme yeah no this is this is completely

01:29:16.600 true they like i said they they can absolutely solve all these problems and they know they can

01:29:21.320 it's just political reasons moral reasons keep us chained yeah liberalism is 100 that uh and

01:29:28.760 there are lots of people saying happy birthday so thank you very much 46 i'm feeling quite old
