The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1268

00:00:00.000 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the podcast the load seaters for tuesday the

00:00:09.140 7th october 2025 i'm joined by josh and lewis brackpool and today we're going to be talking

00:00:14.460 about the embarrassing death of the conservative party because you probably aren't aware the

00:00:18.280 conservative conference is going on and no one cares we're going to be looking into how deep

00:00:24.260 the rot goes with digital id and it goes quite far so i think that's mine that's mine it's yours

00:00:31.620 sorry um and we are then going to be talking about the uh tragic comedy of modern britain because

00:00:36.900 if you actually look at like what older comedy shows were saying oh wouldn't this be funny if

00:00:42.120 this was the future you got it's worse it's way worse unfortunately so anyway right let's begin

00:00:49.580 so like i said it's the conservative party conference at the moment and nobody cares

00:00:54.040 well it's funny because not even the conservatives like i just said to you like oh yeah you know

00:00:59.340 people jumping ship to reform or whatever um and you were like you know it's still going on when i

00:01:05.160 just said oh no it should have been after the conference that they announced it yeah i had no

00:01:09.280 during the conference we'll we'll get to that but uh before we begin uh stelios's course on ancient

00:01:14.440 greek virtue ethics is now live go to courses.lotuses.com to go and check it out and on thursday at 6 p.m

00:01:22.180 this week we will be doing a free webinar where we discuss why we need to restore aristotle to the

00:01:28.640 moral center of our daily lives this is deeply important and we're going to explain to you

00:01:33.540 exactly how aristotle got dislodged because of course for a thousand years aristotle was

00:01:38.480 the philosopher the christians of course uh spent well a thousand years explaining to everyone why

00:01:45.240 aristotle was not only good and useful but also could fit within a christian framework

00:01:48.560 and then the enlightenment was like actually we could have no ethical framework how about that

00:01:53.340 what if we just have rights claims and that ruined everything absolutely everything so part of the

00:01:58.760 restoration of the west is returning to aristotle so go courses.lotuses.com go sign up at the webinar

00:02:05.820 it's free and we'll see you on thursday anyway right so uh the conservative party will will love

00:02:12.320 the conservative party and i think it's worth remembering that they are the really the the

00:02:18.460 stewards of the terrible condition of the country at the moment labor began the process they open 1.00

00:02:24.080 they set up the institutions they opened all the doors they created all of the stupid hate speech 0.99

00:02:29.180 laws and all that and the conservatives are like yeah now we need to maximize this what we need to do 0.97

00:02:33.360 is just have more hate speech laws what we need i mean for example nadine dorries with the uh online 1.00

00:02:38.440 uh safety bill or whatever it was uh we need that we need maximal immigration of course under the boris

00:02:44.280 wave and then of course we'll put in the first indian prime minister which people didn't vote for

00:02:49.040 and he'll be stood there with a little coin saying diversity built britain thank you so much

00:02:52.960 conservatives and so i don't know man i'm just saying it was a weird gamble but it's put them down

00:02:58.440 to third place so this is the second poll that i've seen and this is from after keir starmer was like

00:03:04.940 oh my god nigel farage is the enemy this is from after when he was like indefinite leave to remain 1.00

00:03:10.340 is racist and nigel farage is now up two in the polls to 35 this is the second poll i've seen

00:03:15.500 yes that resonates with the electorate i i've been warning people about this when they were like oh 0.91

00:03:20.260 boris called them letterboxes and bum boys and it's like yeah maybe that's an advertisement to some 0.96

00:03:25.340 people actually morons keep keep saying it so anyway the point being is uh reformers storm ahead of 0.93

00:03:30.860 the polls and the old parties are just dying reform has got nearly as much as labor and 0.96

00:03:34.880 conservatives combined this is pretty bad for the old uni party and i mean just a quick detour

00:03:41.640 it's especially bad for labor but it's also incredibly bad for the conservatives so this is

00:03:45.740 this is an amazing seat projection oh my god based on this yeah just 20 seats the conservatives

00:03:53.460 that's 20 seats i know that the southwest is a lib dem stronghold unfortunately that's dystopian

00:03:59.180 it is um it's annoying because reform could come down here and get some business arguments going for

00:04:05.700 you know a more open market and for lower taxes probably went over sort of like you know the sort

00:04:10.420 of small businessmen down this area you know what that could be actually it's it's because a lot of

00:04:16.260 lack of proximity to migrants yes because that's basically how you predict lib dem voters you find the

00:04:22.240 whitest areas and they'll vote lib dem yeah yeah which is why ed davie's on the timer because he's

00:04:27.600 in like the outer london area a very wealthy middle class area but it's diversifying now

00:04:33.040 so ed davie's on the timer anyway so the point being i mean labor are projected to lose 85 percent of

00:04:39.660 their mps which down 58 which is bruised you can see the smidge in london like yeah it's literally

00:04:46.480 the london party the london party yeah yeah um and then you've got the conservatives who'll

00:04:52.160 be down to 20 mps oh which i mean like half the snp yeah beautiful it's mad like this is genuinely

00:05:03.040 if i were in the conservative party and a labor party actually i'd be panicking like guys we are

00:05:09.460 gonna get creamed what are we doing what is nigel frosh saying what we'll do is we'll just go slightly 0.88

00:05:13.520 to the right of that you know i mean that's what that that would be my plan if i were these guys

00:05:17.700 but uh but they're not doing that they're instead having the conference and pretending that the

00:05:21.660 titanic isn't sinking um oh my gosh this is a speech by the shadow chancellor mel stride

00:05:28.820 you ever heard of mel stride nope who's mel stride no idea no idea who cares i've seen busier local

00:05:35.400 council meetings than that that's really embarrassing and ironically if i were to be like yeah right i'm

00:05:41.140 having a live event this weekend i would be able to draw more people than that every single time

00:05:45.800 yeah not not even close yeah not even close this is crazy how little people are interested in this

00:05:52.000 party now it's not to say that every single one of these is completely undersold or anything i'm

00:05:56.640 pretty sure there are i thought there were i bet well there's some pictures i thought there were

00:06:01.120 going to be pictures of the actual i bet you about half of the people that i saw yeah mel who that

00:06:06.560 made me laugh i bet half of those are journalists as well yeah or employed by the party by staffers

00:06:11.980 and stuff like that so it's just like yeah okay uh very interesting uh there was another one here's

00:06:17.700 the members debate on free speech oh my gosh 55 people oh dear now it is this one under which

00:06:24.920 they're like oh there were you know here's kemi baden not giving her speech and the room isn't half

00:06:29.200 empty a lot of those look like journalists they do i can tell by the backs of their heads for some

00:06:33.860 reason yeah but they also look bored right yes yeah everyone also looks bored so look some people

00:06:38.460 aren't even looking yeah like look at this guy down here he's just like why am i here what am i

00:06:43.700 this guy here what am i doing yeah what am i doing here existential probably turned up very late so

00:06:49.100 they're already bored entirely possible but yeah so there were people i don't know there were some

00:06:54.500 people there for some of it it's like okay that's great but uh i thought there were more pictures in

00:07:00.540 that but yeah no like these sorts of pictures shouldn't really be able to come out of your

00:07:05.120 conference um so in fact there was i'm sure there was one in this thread of the reform conference

00:07:11.980 but apparently it's disappeared which is annoying conservatives are censoring the internet now yeah

00:07:17.820 look at that online um but anyway so yeah then you've got people who are reporting from it so to

00:07:23.620 give you an understanding of how quite the conservative conference is the fringe i was due to be speaking

00:07:27.500 out on wednesday has been cancelled the footfall is so low it's been decided that it would be

00:07:32.000 largely pointless something quite sad about how dead all of this is is it is it yeah is it really

00:07:37.900 yeah snap like i don't know matthew matthew torbitt that is the the sound of people realizing you've

00:07:45.300 betrayed our country yeah sorry bro um i i think that this is uh well deserved frankly absolutely and

00:07:53.040 then here's one from poppy coburn where she's uh written in the telegraph there was an eerie quiet

00:07:57.700 about the convention center beyond what is normally expected of a party shunted in opposition

00:08:01.240 a staffer confessed that there were 900 fewer members than the year prior attending the conference

00:08:05.760 uh when the thrill of a leadership competition helped draw a crowd now shadow cabinet ministers

00:08:10.600 preached the gospel of fiscal responsibility to rooms of plastic folding chairs oh god so this is this

00:08:16.320 is the end of thatcherism guys i saw it poppy did uh the vox pops with people there and it was just

00:08:22.680 like titanic sinking and people were just it was soulless there was just nothing but it really she 1.00

00:08:28.940 captured the mood of like everything that was going on there and it's yeah well done well a lot of

00:08:34.380 people are asking well what's happened to all the sort of uh twinks who normally go to the 1.00

00:08:38.120 conference apparently they've all gone to reform part of niger's harem now yeah sorry yeah 1.00

00:08:43.660 the twink defection yeah you know like all i'm saying is you can uh judge it by the revealed

00:08:52.300 preferences right the real real preferences of people are not to go to the tory conference

00:08:57.280 anyway then you had uh matthew syed who recently joined the conservative party which is a strange

00:09:01.760 thing but you'll see here that he says farage is a socialist well might be many things but that is

00:09:09.760 not one yeah for us it's definitely many things but is this the same way that the uh nationalizing

00:09:15.860 the steel is that i think so i agree with that and i'm about as free yeah and is rail and the

00:09:21.260 and there are capitalist arguments for any natural monopolies yeah i don't want malaysia owning my

00:09:26.800 water so you need steel manufacturing for defense so there's a national security concern that should

00:09:33.140 override the the market concern like i don't want foreigners owning our trains i want them 1.00

00:09:37.760 nationalized for racist reasons uh anyway anyway then you had james clovely this is an attack line 1.00

00:09:45.140 they're repeatedly using at their conference nigel farage is a socialist oh dear morons they just 0.99

00:09:51.360 don't know he's a fact right yeah of course he is and actually like like him towing back the 0.98

00:09:57.600 thatcherism is actually him restraining himself because he understands the sort of blue labor types

00:10:03.160 are also patriotic and will vote reform if he's just not a free market extremist and so to be like

00:10:09.360 yeah nigel farage is a socialist no one believes that no no one thinks nigel farage is a socialist 0.99

00:10:15.760 don't know why you're saying it you absolute morons what are you doing is this the same james 0.99

00:10:22.540 cleverly that said pale stale would you remember that you may remember that i'll stale and mail 1.00

00:10:27.800 yeah pale stale and mail about um parliament or whatever or something of the other well i mean

00:10:33.980 that that is true but let's see if we look if we go back to the map um it seems to be uh what people

00:10:39.940 actually want out of the parliament right yeah if they the diverse conservative party was like yeah

00:10:46.100 look at this diversity coin aren't you thrilled with immigration no everyone hates it look what we're

00:10:51.080 going to do to you in all fairness reform does have the bangladeshi nationalists lining up waiting to

00:10:56.440 uh that is true but they will they will complain that reform is far too white when they win anyway 0.68

00:11:03.120 so then you've got kemi bade not being like right okay we're going to get these reform guys we're

00:11:07.400 going to show them what for you know what you are trans conservatives you wear the clothes of 0.67

00:11:12.760 conservatives but they aren't real conservatives says the african immigrant who's like i identify as

00:11:18.880 british are you trans british now is that how this works also that's not really a very good attack

00:11:25.820 line because it's just like you know this thing the conservatives that you all love you know they're

00:11:30.060 trying to be like us yeah you know you're dragging yourself down as well if you're saying that other

00:11:35.580 people aren't real conservatives as we crank open the borders ramp up the amount of public spending

00:11:40.400 like you know like sorry sell everything we own off to foreigners like sorry i'm not really buying it

00:11:46.740 african immigrant in charge of the conservative party i actually i actually now agree with the

00:11:51.760 journalist who said it's quite sad yeah yeah you know i get that now it's incredible i love this

00:11:58.180 one at the bottom i've never physically cringed harder and i thought calling farage a socialist was

00:12:04.140 bad but also like saying they're trans conservative that's just embarrassing it's just right you you guys 1.00

00:12:09.420 you guys are useless and the real cherry on the cake here is this when labor negotiates 0.99

00:12:16.360 britian loses oh no so the packaging looks like budget chocolate it does look like budget chocolate 0.99

00:12:25.360 it looks like the the stuff you get in tesco for 20p but moreover why do we care what you think of

00:12:32.460 labor because they're not going to win either right like not only is this not like a hard line this

00:12:38.160 isn't like a killer line this is also kind of you know not misspelled it but labor are not really

00:12:44.180 going to be sticking around for much longer if the polls are as the polls suggest and so like

00:12:49.560 going oh look this is a kill line no it's not a kill line you've misspelled it and you're attacking

00:12:53.560 the wrong target nigel farage is going to eat all of your lunches including that cheap so farage is 1.00

00:12:58.980 a socialist and britain can no sorry labor cannot negotiate yeah that's the lines they're going with

00:13:05.080 and what trans conservatism yeah right it's a flawless campaign yeah i mean i can't believe

00:13:11.660 they've really read the room well um everything is going so well it's time to have a little song

00:13:17.320 now i don't think i'm going to play the audio to this oh sweet caroline yeah will

00:13:26.500 the entire tory party membership in that room it is but like this like feels like condemned men

00:13:40.160 but look at this guy here just like what are we doing guys we're about to get waxed everyone's about

00:13:45.320 to lose their job like the 120 odd tory mps that are left they're going to be down to 20

00:13:50.300 how many of you need to lose your jobs before you realize whatever it is you're doing is not working

00:13:55.180 and again this is just in the middle of the conference councillors are just defecting

00:13:59.960 nigel for us tweeted out that 20 actually defected today uh two hours ago so just it is just falling

00:14:09.020 apart and so if you go to the dear leader who remember did say look if you don't like my

00:14:13.800 leadership you can just leave yeah they are um she came out and said well you know what uh actually

00:14:20.700 quote we are shedding the baggage of 14 years to nick ferrari we had a historic defeat last year

00:14:27.140 it's going to take the support you're losing uh members and you want more time you are the ruben

00:14:32.800 of politics mrs bedrock well uh that is certainly not the case what we are doing is shedding uh a lot

00:14:40.800 of the baggage of the last 14 years i remember last year we had people defecting to labor because

00:14:46.200 labor was doing well in the polls now we have people defecting to reform because the reform is

00:14:50.640 doing well in the polls we need people who are in our party for the right reasons oh it sounds like

00:14:55.960 the party's just falling apart if they're defecting to both sides yeah then there's clearly a problem

00:15:01.680 it's not one or the other it's you it also makes them sound very self-serving doesn't it which we

00:15:05.920 know is the case yes indeed uh but yeah i love this we're shedding the baggage of 14 years like

00:15:11.500 no you should be firing people right if you actually wanted us to believe that you're like

00:15:16.260 oh my god this party's filled with communists and lib dems i repeat myself um then you should be

00:15:21.960 firing them you'd be chucking them out you should be disinviting them no you're all gone uh so they've

00:15:26.680 got no chance to defect like this is weakness on your part and everyone can see it this is

00:15:31.580 your own party dying but what i love is kind of how delusional the uh tory party is now a lot of

00:15:37.540 them are actually uh well aware that of course half say that kemi should not be leaving the party

00:15:43.320 into the next election or at all i would suggest because she's obviously terrible she's obviously 0.99

00:15:48.300 killing the party uh but then you've got uh 39 percent would vote for badenoc uh versus 46 for

00:15:53.880 genric which okay genric not exactly the world's strongest get a majority yeah not exactly the world's

00:15:59.760 strongest but i love that 14 of them expect the tories to win the next election who are they

00:16:05.420 who are these people they've been abroad for the past few years what's going on true in the coma

00:16:11.620 maybe um a two to one margin back a tory reform pact why would reform no why would they possibly want

00:16:19.180 a pact with the tories to be fair they're already doing it with the defections sorry we're going to

00:16:25.920 reduce you down to 20 men in the parliament why would we need we're going to have 400 people

00:16:31.040 yeah true why why would reform want a pact with this dying party this is the most desperate thing

00:16:36.680 i've ever seen and then there's this and this really amused me this is a a series of polls that

00:16:44.620 the tele telegraph did and uh so reform voters are like about half of them just like no i'm not having

00:16:51.600 any of it you know only 30 like yeah i would vote for the conservatives but in the conservatives

00:16:55.760 only 80 of their own supporters would vote for them in the next election like that's pretty poor

00:17:01.920 the conservatives like no i'm not going to vote for our party oh no nearly yeah what's that night i

00:17:08.260 don't know where the additional one percent went but that's nearly 19 that's either no or i'm not even

00:17:13.060 sure i'd vote for the party i'm a member of yeah that is okay i mean as you do you know uh and so

00:17:20.820 this is just very very very strange very strange things going on in their own party as far as i can

00:17:27.180 tell the only thing that came out of the conservative conference that was actually good oh yeah was ex

00:17:32.660 australian prime minister tony abbott uh because he was just like um just capture them and release them

00:17:39.120 in the wild on the border problem as you say should this party if they're in government do what

00:17:45.760 australia did or is that not possible because you think of the amount of waters around australia

00:17:50.800 it's not like the english channel where there are basically no international waters that's correct

00:17:55.340 but you could certainly pick up people in the english channel hold them on some kind of a mothership

00:18:02.460 and send them back to the land from which they've come on some quiet and moonless night and i think

00:18:10.660 there are all sorts of things that a determined government could do to absolutely stop these boats

00:18:16.200 once and for all but in australia obviously there was pauline hansel but you didn't have nigel farage

00:18:21.220 in australia he's a formidable challenge to the two main parties isn't he look uh i don't deny that

00:18:27.940 but in the end uh you've got to be able to implement policy and there he goes on to talk about that

00:18:35.860 but yeah so that's basically the only good thing that came out of the entire conservative conference

00:18:40.540 it's genuinely embarrassing and it's a party that is on its own it's it is is on its own self-imposed

00:18:46.620 death march at this point literally like a baton death march in the conservative party like you've

00:18:51.760 done this to yourselves you've you've betrayed us repeatedly and we're very tired of you and frankly

00:18:57.460 i'm glad to see nigel farage just stomping all over them like you know i got my got my objections to 0.99

00:19:03.380 some of the things farage has said in the past but who cares man you know he needs to wipe out the old 1.00

00:19:08.220 consensus from the 20th century he needs to destroy these people and it's glorious that yeah it's

00:19:13.760 happening so quickly as well i thought the death of the conservative party would be a gradual decline

00:19:17.840 but no it's rapid and it's well deserved it's nigel coming into this the the nursing home with a pillow 0.97

00:19:22.900 smothering it the last tory yeah yeah exactly yeah i'm really enjoying watching it uh because you get

00:19:30.280 what you deserve uh the engaged few says reform should make the hotel migrants an offer a thousand 0.99

00:19:35.420 pounds and get on the plane or get on the plane without a thousand pounds uh i wouldn't offer

00:19:39.400 many money i'd flog them and deport them um sooner take their assets for the cost of deporting them 0.99

00:19:44.880 yeah exactly sorry get out um would recommend joseph heller's catch 22 novel picture this which

00:19:51.280 is aristotle contemplating rembrandt contemplating aristotle well that sounds quite esoteric

00:19:56.800 um but uh right let's let's move on cool let me just grab the uh

00:20:02.320 grab the cursor back onto the uh oh there we go perfect thank you very very much right as we are

00:20:10.120 all aware keir starmer confirmed last week uh that his government is mandating a digital border and

00:20:16.800 identity system as part of a plan to crack down on illegal migration and modernize border management

00:20:24.400 oh yeah sounds lovely doesn't it oh yeah but what does actually what does that mean um actually

00:20:31.180 um well it means a digital id system for all uk residents not just for migrants um beginning or

00:20:39.460 starting with migrants and visa applications um or applicants and expanding to citizens uh through

00:20:46.360 quote digital credentials um linked to the nhs app uh and the government uk accounts as well

00:20:55.380 uh the system will merge uh between biometric verification uh immigration records and potentially

00:21:02.360 employment ben and benefit eligibility checks um so in this segment i wanted to just showcase

00:21:10.860 just how deep this digital rot uh is and goes and emphasize why this is something that if it's not

00:21:20.300 obvious already that we should all be resisting yeah um a little preface actually we were talking just

00:21:28.000 off air beforehand and um i actually don't think this is going to go through if i'm totally honest so

00:21:34.060 i'm actually quite optimistic i hope you're right yeah because if i'm agreeing with owen jones of all

00:21:38.860 people and they have ties to you know the labor party as well and i've even spoken to or had ties

00:21:45.640 yeah um you know and people like bastani as well don't think that it's going to go through so if

00:21:50.720 people like that as well are saying exactly what some of us are thinking then i don't know i'm quite

00:21:57.180 optimistic that i don't think that this is going to fly i don't think labor have the political capital

00:22:01.040 for it and i think i mean nigel farage has already said that he's gonna get rid of it get rid of it 0.91

00:22:05.600 and it's quite evident that if if nothing dramatic changes nigel farage is going to sweep the board

00:22:10.780 so this seems like a last desperate hail mary yeah the labor party trying to do for some reason which

00:22:17.860 is going to kill them off yes so yeah go nuts it's one of starmer's favors to blair isn't it because

00:22:25.240 of course blair wanted to pass this and failed in 2006 and it's been his pet project ever since 0.97

00:22:31.520 ever since he's been trying to revive it exactly well one of the big concerns um regarding the push

00:22:37.580 for digital id um i think you might have remembered this particular article back in 2021 during the

00:22:44.720 height of the lockdown madness um but all of this is all to do with the centralization of power

00:22:51.420 and notably obviously through various means like we just touched on such as health care welfare

00:22:57.340 um but also storing and spending your money that is crazy isn't it like yeah the bank of england has

00:23:03.920 called on ministers to decide whether a central bank digital currency currency should be programmable

00:23:08.440 ultimately giving the issue a control of how it's spent by the recipient yeah that is nightmarish yeah

00:23:14.900 the only implementation i could see of this that would be good is if we must insist on welfare payments

00:23:20.080 it would stop people spending on booze and cigarettes and things but it shouldn't be giving them free

00:23:24.820 money that's that's like the one thing that i could think of that it could actually be applied to but

00:23:30.520 even then i don't want it given giving the state the ability to intercede in your transaction it's

00:23:35.500 scary isn't it insane it's mental um unfortunately this sort of and we'll get into it and i'll show you

00:23:41.580 some of the requests that i put out uh through restore as well and i've been doing it for a couple of

00:23:46.220 years now to try and obtain these particular documents from the bank of england that has stuff all to do

00:23:52.660 of this pilot schemes all sorts but i think the infrastructure i say i think i know the

00:23:58.000 infrastructure has been there for a while and it's just a case of we're putting it out there

00:24:03.040 essentially but even as far back uh as 2016 where unfortunately these guys uh seem to just crop up

00:24:11.700 every single time um that yeah i saw that your eyes then yeah i just said these guys are like who are

00:24:17.620 oh yeah literally of course it's them uh well in august 2016 um the conglomerate or the corporate

00:24:25.140 conglomerate of the wef or the world economic forum published a paper called quote a blueprint for

00:24:32.180 digital identity the role of financial institutions in building digital identity where the report uh argues

00:24:40.120 that once you have a trusted digital identity it can become the key accessing services from banking

00:24:47.000 uh and payments to government benefits and health care why would i want that what exactly why would

00:24:53.680 i want you to have this kind of power over me yeah exactly this is very much the sort of pet project

00:25:00.100 of the sort of techno globalist elite faction isn't it that's why blair is so heavily involved that's

00:25:05.380 why world economic forums involved and this sort of network and the um yeah of sort of globalist

00:25:12.420 leaders and many european leaders that have been this way aligned have all been pushing for this at

00:25:17.820 the same time i know it exists to a certain extent already in some countries estonia is the big one

00:25:23.760 where they've had digital id for a while now i heard the market well they're doing it in estonia oh are

00:25:28.360 they yeah yeah oh well if the soviet republic if estonia are doing it it's good enough for me

00:25:33.520 exactly um well i put in a request um quite a while ago uh to try and ask um for documentation

00:25:43.080 on the links between uh central bank digital currency and digital id systems and it's taken me two

00:25:51.080 years to actually get a proper answer and they've turned around and said well after your internal

00:25:57.000 review um disclosing this would have a chilling effect uh on deliberations and risk for destabilizing

00:26:05.900 speculation essentially if we put it out uh it's going to create so much speculation that people

00:26:12.860 are going to be everyone's going to panic everyone's going to panic essentially oh right that's in

00:26:17.300 that's an insane plan that you've had for years on the back burner yeah right okay that's very

00:26:22.340 interesting it's as good as an admission of guilt really isn't it essentially so it says in summary

00:26:27.700 my view is that the bank was correct to withhold the requested documents in response to your request

00:26:32.960 of june uh 2025 uh the outcome of my review is therefore to confirm the refusal uh under section 36

00:26:40.820 and section 36 2 um the reasoning for my decision is set out below disclosure of the information would

00:26:47.440 or would be likely to inhibit the free and frank exchange of views for the purposes of

00:26:52.320 deliberation how would that be the case how would it be if i gave you this information you want to

00:26:56.940 discuss this would inhibit deliberation so to to frame this i suppose you know we have the legal

00:27:03.840 right to do freedom of information requests for public good and this is going to impede the discourse

00:27:10.160 by allowing people to know what's going on i don't understand that argument look at that next line

00:27:14.620 the disclosure of this information would otherwise prejudice or be likely to otherwise prejudice

00:27:18.720 the effective conduct of public affairs if we tell you what we're going to do yeah it'll be difficult

00:27:24.360 for the government to do it because everyone will hate it everyone will hate it and everyone will be

00:27:28.440 up in arms about it and suddenly the government will find itself blocked by public opinion exactly

00:27:33.740 um yeah there's a few more bits on here the issuance of cbdc and digital identity framework

00:27:39.820 remains a live and sensitive area of policy making oh disclosure at this stage could inhibit the free

00:27:45.860 and frank uh exchange of views essential for robust policy making and may lead to destabilizing

00:27:52.160 speculation or confusion in the market and the public so everyone will hate it and you won't be

00:27:57.200 able to do it yeah essentially i think what's going on there is if they announce this now um it's going

00:28:02.580 to have a very detrimental effect on the economy and that's that's how i could interpret it yeah

00:28:08.200 markets will freak out because it's dictated by that usually um the markets but i've done an internal

00:28:15.400 review and we've sent that off and i think in the comment section you can read the full thing if you do

00:28:20.400 want to get involved um i have written out a template and you can find that on my on my twitter

00:28:27.220 don't use my uh foi uh reference number you have to do your own foi but you can use the template to

00:28:35.580 help you and maybe it might add some public pressure but um with some consultation um rupert lowe i'm

00:28:43.000 very grateful i'm not being biased but i'm very grateful for his support on this where he's written

00:28:48.380 a letter to um the bank of england uh asking basically why have you refused this um the public

00:28:56.040 interest in transparency on money privacy and the relationship between citizens and the state

00:29:00.880 far outweighs the supposed risks of public debate sorry sorry what are the risks of public debate i

00:29:06.920 know i know democracy is meant to be i know and that's an omission within itself yeah very much is

00:29:13.240 um so we're applying a lot of pressure at restore to try and get hold of these documents because the

00:29:20.340 public has the right to know and they very clearly don't want to release them yeah because they

00:29:24.580 as you say josh this is definitely an admission if this all came out everyone would be like oh my

00:29:29.000 god that's terrible yeah and so they're like well we can't have that coming on have that no indeed

00:29:33.140 um well as we know that we've been chatting about earlier the tony blair institution have been

00:29:38.920 talking about this for quite some time but big brother watch actually put out something that was

00:29:44.720 really interesting i don't know if you guys have seen this it says tony blair's think tank wants

00:29:48.900 digital ids to turn neighbors into informants including for noise complaints

00:29:53.760 yes they're noisy past 10 o'clock that's it gulag no currency for you this this was the thing about

00:30:03.980 um labor going like oh my god the indefinitely to remain is racist nigel ferrars wants to deport 0.99

00:30:08.680 my neighbors like what if your neighbors are foreigners you don't like what what if they're 1.00

00:30:12.380 noisy like my neighbors my my my walls speak hindi at the minute it's terrible well with your 0.93

00:30:17.380 digital id now josh you can now snitch on them and and help with your social credit score you know

00:30:23.660 what i i've changed my mind i've changed my mind they are actually saying though your community

00:30:31.120 impact score yeah it's literally just a social credit score yeah i can get my annoying neighbors

00:30:36.060 debanked i'm willing to risk it this is the proposal is buried in a report released just two days

00:30:42.900 before kia starmer announced plans for a mandatory digital id the prime minister is saying publicly

00:30:48.460 that the government is mandating them for every adult for right to work checks but keeping quiet

00:30:54.000 about how many areas of our public life they could be used for and i think this is the yes source from

00:30:59.540 the tony blair institute for global change and it has like a pilot scheme report new issues on road

00:31:04.780 damage fly tipping street lighting vandalism fraud and noise complaints you know what i've changed my

00:31:11.500 mind on social credit scores if i can if i can twist the knife on the the you know disruptive

00:31:18.000 proles i'm gonna love it i can't help but notice this wasn't actually necessary before labor began

00:31:22.740 the project of mass immigration that is true as well you know you know it's quite nice i'm being

00:31:27.220 facetious of course i don't actually support this yeah um i hate my neighbors but i hate the

00:31:32.960 government more says josh i've got an hate in my heart for many um as we heard recently um i think

00:31:40.220 i posted this uh the other day about uh palantir um and i made the comment that you know you're in

00:31:46.240 trouble when even a cia founded data data mining surveillance firm thinks that starmer and blair's

00:31:52.800 digital id scheme goes a bit too far palantir are terrifying yeah and it's also named palantir

00:31:59.120 that's sauron's like yeah you know ball that view you know he communicates through like you don't i

00:32:05.300 didn't i forgot about that yeah that's insane like yes we're sauron's evil machinery you know such bad

00:32:12.040 optics i don't know why you'd call it that but okay fair enough yeah so even they're like we're steady

00:32:17.240 on here yeah literally um software giant palantir snubs undemocratic undemocratic uh digital id

00:32:24.600 scheme um and that is uh the us uk adolf hitler tells israel to knock it off they're going a bit too

00:32:31.600 far yeah literally um lewis mosley who is uh oswald mosley's grandson oh really yeah really is uh the uk

00:32:40.800 us um uh representative for palantir which i don't know if you knew interesting

00:32:46.560 yeah it's very yeah indeed um but as we know yeah palantir is is a massive uh massive deal

00:32:55.360 when it comes to this but there's also something as well that was picked up um let me just go down

00:33:01.660 to here it was picked up by bernie uh spofforth i believe i said a um surname uh correctly

00:33:09.340 oh yeah sorry i must say yeah the digital id uh cards petition or do not introduce

00:33:15.840 2.8 million pretty impressive but then the government turned around and said no we will

00:33:22.800 introduce them that was their response i mean this is something that i've said for a long time that if

00:33:29.280 a government wants to do something your petitions and protests will do nothing yeah it's important

00:33:34.220 to try obviously in the immediate but it does show the i mean like it shows the government this is

00:33:39.620 something that is deeply unpopular exactly yeah i'm of the opinion that you you know you don't point

00:33:44.600 out the bear traps for the government you know you make them fail as quickly as possible well maybe

00:33:48.280 yeah um i do agree with aa on the uh the the idea that protests or 95 of protests is just

00:33:56.460 you know the marching up and down the square to quote but you've got to work for that five percent 0.99

00:34:01.420 haven't you yeah when it does i mean like kiss on with the other day when he was announcing all

00:34:05.120 this was like oh we're in a battle for the soul of the country i saw the tommy march and a million

00:34:08.480 people 150 000 might rethink sports him out and that that clearly put the fear of god yeah so i

00:34:14.180 don't know man i think they can have an effect yeah fair enough maybe he tells i hope so you know i

00:34:19.300 want to be wrong he's deeply afraid watching all of these patriots flying over flags so it's like

00:34:24.480 okay good yeah i don't believe starmer actually feels any human emotions i think he can feel fear

00:34:29.780 starminator you reckon starmer could feel fear he tells us he does so yeah fair enough i think he just

00:34:35.060 can't feel love well what's that ukrainian rent boys scandal that's gone god yeah anyways uh enough

00:34:43.700 about that um there was something that has been overlooked but uh bernie has actually uh brought

00:34:50.540 it to our attention and we're uh we are collaborating i can announce that now uh about looking into this

00:34:57.060 particular bill called the children's well-being and schools bill uh which is in the house of lords as

00:35:02.240 we speak and just a quick rundown it's been put forward by bridget philipson and baroness smith of

00:35:08.740 malvern and the bill empowers the secretary of state to specify a consistent identifier for children

00:35:17.160 and it's to be used by designated persons when processing information about children in safeguarding

00:35:24.400 and welfare functions and this is extremely sinister and i had i hadn't seen or heard about this bill

00:35:31.800 for a while but it's really at the late stages of it going through um and you can check out a bit

00:35:38.000 more details on the uh the parliamentary bills but um it lets children be tracked across multiple

00:35:44.560 domains and agencies using a single key and over time that key can be reused or cross-linked beyond

00:35:51.520 initial purposes and it gives power to or legal powers new legal powers to local authorities such as the

00:35:59.220 council um that creates and maintains registers of all children including those not in school

00:36:05.980 such as home educated children it collects and stores personal data about those children parents

00:36:13.160 and education providers they can share that information with other bodies for example the

00:36:19.500 department for education safeguarding agencies or even across uk nations and parents might be required

00:36:26.160 to provide any other information about the child that the secretary of state considers should should be

00:36:33.220 included um under certain clauses so for example it allows ministers to expand the data required over

00:36:40.600 time creeping into monitoring of beliefs behaviors and family context that's horrifying horrifying and

00:36:48.460 there's also the added dimension of this is the elites doing this you know yeah it is not to get too dark

00:36:54.960 here but it's like giving a menu to an epstein-like character isn't i was thinking like in rotherham

00:36:59.780 and stuff exactly yeah council directly involved in the grooming gangs and well prevent will be all

00:37:05.020 over that like a rash as well would you trust the authorities with this much information on your

00:37:10.280 children exactly and you shouldn't and there's been a massive crackdown on homeschooling as well for a

00:37:15.240 long time and they've crept that in with this particular thing so essentially it's not just digital id

00:37:20.900 for adults it's now for children and it's being used i hate it when they do this but it's so obvious

00:37:26.780 they go it's for children's well-being it's for you know it's for helping children you know going

00:37:31.520 through like rough times it's putting them on a database to make sure that the state is monitoring

00:37:36.300 them and that they're okay so they need to go on a database yeah literally you know silly but another

00:37:41.900 a few more things uh before we wrap up this segment there is some strange things that i've noticed

00:37:48.440 um with regards to filing these foi requests after um keir starmer announced uh the digital id

00:37:56.200 um mandate and requests that i submitted earlier in the year are now coming through and i thought

00:38:05.520 that was bizarre um and that was after keir starmer announced about digital id so for example this one

00:38:11.200 um i asked back in july and i totally forgot i even sent this by the way um asking for copies of

00:38:18.280 memos internal briefing notes and summary reports uh from the government on their involvement with

00:38:23.980 the world economic forum and uh the united nations on digital id programs and the government has just

00:38:31.400 pinged me an email months and months later saying oh by the way the government is delaying releasing

00:38:37.680 them uh citing a public interest review oh really um saying yeah there's no guarantee the child parent

00:38:45.020 can decline or opt out of how oh sorry no that's that's something else sorry forgive me um so they're

00:38:51.360 basically coming through and saying that yes we do have programs and pilots and we have there's

00:38:57.760 confirmation that uh the uk government is in coordination with uh the un and wef like we've seen

00:39:05.020 but they're now delaying it but they they've just been sending me these emails like just randomly

00:39:11.120 uh out of nowhere months later and they did it again with this one you can see the date there

00:39:17.240 third of october it says thank you for your email in the 16th of june 2025 and this one in particular

00:39:26.120 i asked the home office um about documents relating to digital id systems for use in immigration

00:39:37.720 enforcement long before the government publicly announced it and suddenly they sent me this email

00:39:43.840 on the third so only the other day saying for the parts two and three of your request relating to

00:39:49.980 monitoring illegal migration or undocumented individuals and the use of digital id systems

00:39:55.340 to enforce border protection including identity identity verification at ports of entry after careful

00:40:02.320 consideration it has been decided that the information is exempt um these sections provide

00:40:08.900 the information can be withheld that prejudice the formulation of government policy and i was like

00:40:15.960 why am i being received this now like this was back in june like keir starmer has said this will

00:40:21.600 help us with immigration so that has to be the case yeah there's digital identity verification at

00:40:26.400 ports of entry otherwise what would be the point of it exactly um it's all very weird isn't it

00:40:32.080 it's all very very bizarre so it was very bizarre to to receive these emails just randomly um but it

00:40:38.600 confirms what really or what we already knew that this was live um for a long long time like before

00:40:44.580 the announcement was made it was just a case of when um so what are we doing at restore to

00:40:50.380 investigate a bit more on this but obviously rupert like i mentioned earlier in the segment has written

00:40:55.580 to the bank of england and we're trying to investigate whether we can uncover these particular documents

00:41:00.060 about cbdcs uh we're trying to uncover documents and plans for the use of the id system to manage

00:41:07.120 criminal records illegal migration and border identity uh verification so we're really pushing

00:41:13.940 um to hopefully i think uh rupert's putting in questions about uh trying to see whether we can

00:41:20.660 get these documents in the house of commons library so we can access them and to uh to showcase them

00:41:26.260 um we want to get some briefings and memos about the the involvement of the world economic forum and

00:41:33.360 the un i think that's incredibly important important and yeah more parliamentary questions and fois on

00:41:42.120 the child well-being bill which seems to be you know slipped unnoticed until now it is going to be one

00:41:50.240 of the fig leafs they use to impose this upon us indeed so that's it

00:41:55.180 i'm sorry for the black no no it's it's it's fine but it's just like it's so insufferably dystopian

00:42:03.320 yeah where they're just like oh yeah well you know we're going to do all of this and we're not going

00:42:06.520 to tell you why and we're not going to tell you how and if we do it would prejudice public discourse

00:42:11.120 or whatever you can make that argument for any policy it's not a proper argument exactly it's

00:42:15.840 that's weak yeah arcadia says you need to understand that labor is not trying to ram

00:42:19.880 through digital ids at their own behest but on the orders of the wef masters absolutely clearly i

00:42:25.680 mean this i i do think that basically kirstama has employed tony blair here to shore up his position

00:42:31.460 as the labor party um and okay well you're going to throw the digital idea because tony blair's going

00:42:38.900 to force you to do that that's going to be the price and i think i think it was aa that brought up

00:42:42.680 an old tweet of kirstama saying um how he was like really against it really he originally was

00:42:49.600 really against the idea about eight months ago didn't he and then now he's like no i have to

00:42:54.660 obey my master the dark lord it's yeah base tape says trans british is actually great rhetoric we

00:43:02.840 should start seeding this they can't push back on it because they are socially bound to act as if

00:43:07.260 trans means legitimate well nobody really thinks so i mean ben lock is trans british then i mean

00:43:12.520 that's literally when she came out and said i identify as british like what does that what

00:43:17.540 okay but that's the same as saying identify as a woman right like you are in fact a male you are in

00:43:23.560 fact a nigerian like in you know that's just literally what she was doing so anyway uh yeah 0.98

00:43:30.100 explosion says like all things political parties have expiry dates that's right uh reform are basically 0.96

00:43:35.340 the shit of theseus yeah well i'm not saying they're not but um the point is we have no other 0.95

00:43:40.720 options uh cranky text and says what if digital id isn't supposed to succeed well if they just want 0.99

00:43:45.420 to change the conversation i think that tony blair has been banging the drum far too long for it to

00:43:51.020 not be something he seriously believes i agree it ties too well into all of the architecture of other

00:43:55.760 projects exactly yes the technocracy needs the digital id to actually it's kind of like the final

00:44:00.220 piece in the puzzle that makes the whole thing light up you know yeah um but uh but i don't think

00:44:05.680 they're actually going to do it i don't think they're actually going to make i agree with you yeah despite

00:44:08.780 talking about all of that i actually don't think it's going to go through i think it's actually

00:44:12.500 sort of desperation on the technocrats parts yes to throw this out yeah i don't think i'm just

00:44:17.540 hoping i'm hoping and i'm praying that farage when he does get into power because it looks like he is

00:44:23.580 going to become prime minister that he will just repeal it yeah it's first thing first thing you do

00:44:28.280 that he does it's an obvious move for it's an obvious and it's an easy move and it's red meat to

00:44:34.140 the base i don't i don't get it there's no argument against it no like you know would you like a

00:44:38.860 tyrannical dystopian system or should i get rid of that and i just like but they need a

00:44:42.800 communications department to actually convey like for example that sarah is it pochin who went on

00:44:48.360 talk tv and said oh no i think digital id is a great thing and it was like oh what are you doing

00:44:53.840 what happened to message discipline i just came out on day one and was like no

00:44:57.080 yeah you get in line sarah but this is the tory defect the defection that's showing its colors

00:45:03.440 like scott scott says really interview really enjoyed your interview with jay dower on the

00:45:07.760 fabians ah thank you very much i must uh hook you up with jay yeah yeah have a chat um right let's

00:45:13.680 move on okay how bad is britain oh at the minute i don't even have my segment up there we go

00:45:19.100 so recently we did a rather controversial lads hour talking about british comedy tv shows some of

00:45:25.960 the classics and although we didn't get through all of them uh some people were upset about our

00:45:29.740 placements but we're not talking about that because as part of this i go and watch that

00:45:33.880 because i i regret nothing unrepentant um oh the thing isn't working but anyway um i re-watched

00:45:43.520 some episodes of the thick of it um in preparation for this and then a sudden thing hit me i was just

00:45:49.380 like wait a minute these scenarios of these members of parliament and and ministers messing up

00:45:54.840 they're not actually nearly as bad as our current situation thank you um and i wanted to go through

00:46:03.060 just some recent events in politics that seem like they're from a series like this that they're just

00:46:08.700 so absurd that you sort of can't believe it things like this for example so um the you gov logo changed

00:46:17.460 and uh it is now become it is now blue and they've moved the dot up a little bit and uh

00:46:25.680 this cost blue yeah yeah it's less readable and this costs over half a million pounds i could have

00:46:33.280 done it for half of that price hit me up you gov if you if you need it redesigning you gov 200k

00:46:38.180 don't listen to him yeah 150 50 quid like like that is five minutes in photoshop that's that's

00:46:46.840 easily done and also you know what were they doing to spend all that money consulting people

00:46:51.340 yeah you know you know i bet it was a case of you know they were thinking what should we do and

00:46:55.560 they've got all these elaborate ideas and then someone just comes in and goes should we just move

00:46:59.180 the dot and just change the color and then all of that money is and then all that money is like gone

00:47:04.340 why does it need changing everyone's like the gov uk website needs to be fancier do you know what i

00:47:10.380 hate about the government the website's logo yeah yeah yeah that was the problem yeah if they change

00:47:16.500 that it'd be perfect it's so ugly and unreadable now at least it was like look we're the government

00:47:20.360 which black and white you know straightforward yeah of course there there is a budget shortfall

00:47:25.860 and uh one thing that you need to be doing is sending 46 million pounds to help the lebanese police

00:47:32.000 don't you that's very pertinent wait why are we sending 46 million to the lebanese police

00:47:37.720 i i don't know but what's even more annoying is the not-for-profit directors of this charity

00:47:43.640 also took out 3.6 million in uh that taxpayer cash as a uh a director's fees so of course they did

00:47:53.980 right it's absurd i don't understand why we're assisting the the lebanese do we have a name of

00:48:00.620 this director it will improve interagency coordination with the lebanese armed forces

00:48:04.460 ah yes vital for our national security what lebanese police yeah i'm not i haven't actually

00:48:10.400 looked at the details of who it is but it was just the cost of it like why are we doing this in the

00:48:14.480 first place obviously these directors have got a good thing going for them yeah they're just

00:48:18.840 stealing from the tax payer shame them now that's my yeah yeah like the charities yeah like the

00:48:24.320 migrant charities same thing name and shame them honestly so another thing this is straight out of

00:48:29.740 the thick of it is uh the new tech secretary liz kendall went on tv uh and wore a a green shirt

00:48:37.460 in front of a green transparent yeah oh no and so uh when she went on good morning britain they

00:48:42.960 actually had to print out a physical copy of parliament to put behind her because they couldn't 1.00

00:48:49.540 use the green screen because she's she's it's basically the spot-on color green of a green screen

00:48:54.120 as well which when your tech secretary yeah and do media appearances that's a bit of a mishap isn't

00:49:00.840 it it's a bit unfortunate and uh it's not nearly as bad though this is you know forgivable and she

00:49:07.500 laughed it off she was a good sport about it at least but this is terrible this is uh not necessarily

00:49:12.920 the government but the the shadow uh government so in recent weeks stung by criticism that she was

00:49:19.780 aloof from her mps bad knock as in the leader of the conservative party has began inviting small

00:49:24.620 groups for lunch while platters have shop bought sandwiches and when i point out to one invitee that

00:49:30.240 bad knock famously declared last year that she hated sandwiches which was a bit of a scandal by the

00:49:35.240 way in line with just one percent of the british public they replied oh no the mps had sandwiches

00:49:40.780 kemi had something hot brought in which is how you really ingratiate yourself with your own mps 0.90

00:49:47.520 is you make yourself look more important you have a hot meal brought to you there you go

00:49:52.280 there are your sandwiches by the way i said that i hate them and uh it's just that's like the worst 0.53

00:50:00.420 thing she could have possibly done it's just like she may as well get brought in in a litter and sit 1.00

00:50:05.360 on a throne i don't know what's wrong with her well many things so uh you think okay well let's have a

00:50:14.960 little look at the left shall we well the green party has adopted um a potential motion banning

00:50:22.180 landlords which uh i don't know how this is going to help people get on the housing market

00:50:27.680 genuinely malice as well yeah we just need to ban landlords landlords are the problem next they're

00:50:33.600 going to declare a war on sparrows and they're going to get farmers to melt down their equipment and

00:50:37.340 make it into pig iron this is this is after their his appearance with uh is it ash sarkar and she

00:50:44.100 was talking about banning landlords and he must have gotten an idea from that useless isn't it like

00:50:48.920 well they're a communist party so yeah it's quite it's kind of what i would expect renting property as

00:50:53.880 intrinsically exploitative what what so if i rent a bicycle is that being exploited yes you should own

00:51:03.180 that bicycle that's literally what they think yeah but i don't have the room for it too bad it's easier

00:51:08.800 for me to rent it i'd prefer to rent it but green party can't allow me to do that sorry not to i i

00:51:14.740 don't understand i actually do not understand it so you ban landlords then what happens like what

00:51:20.600 actually happens children never move out of their parents homes that's what we're trapped with them

00:51:26.720 forever oh gosh unintentionally bringing families together or making them hate each other i don't know

00:51:32.840 one of the what they think they do they think they're solving the housing crisis here obviously

00:51:36.920 they're not i just don't i don't get it they could be sold to foreigners is actually most people when

00:51:42.200 they move out of home don't just buy a house i've still not done it yet i'm 30 this year um

00:51:47.900 there's also polling here that thankfully suggests that the green party isn't exactly polling

00:51:54.020 that well so i think we're going to be safe in our rental properties for now um reform leading the

00:51:59.760 pack by a pretty significant margin but you might think okay so a lot of these elected parties um are

00:52:06.820 a bit crazy we've seen the conservatives we've seen the greens we've seen labor all the left-wing

00:52:11.160 parties and maybe you want to vote for an independent maybe you're sick of the party system well uh well

00:52:18.780 the independents want to declare war on israel hang on are they independents or are they part members of

00:52:23.220 your party now yeah i don't know um but this was only a couple of weeks ago and they were still

00:52:29.600 independents then i guess yeah who's on the far right i don't know he's uh the one token quizling

00:52:38.180 that doesn't make it too islamic but where's jeremy corbyn he's occupying his spot yeah i don't know

00:52:44.300 um i don't know but yeah i love the idea of you know like a bunch of muslims being like yeah we hate 1.00

00:52:51.880 what's happening in the middle east and declare war on israel it's like why is this my problem

00:52:55.020 it was like the other day with shabana mamou like oh my god all the pro palestine protesters

00:53:00.960 are protesting israel so we're gonna have to ban englishmen from being able to protest it's like oh

00:53:06.540 why do i have to get banned yeah you know thanks yeah like anyway sorry but my point being is that

00:53:12.600 the independents only want one thing it is war with israel that is why they're independent that's

00:53:18.780 you know is why they don't belong to any other party because they're not going to endorse that but

00:53:23.840 because they're independent they can they're the the sectarian violence independence they're sort of

00:53:28.980 their own distinct block and uh another thing that that happened that sort of went a bit under the

00:53:36.000 radar is that the libyan army is more interested in helping our border than our own oh my god oh my

00:53:45.100 gosh so i'm gonna read this really embarrassing libya taking pity on us the military leadership

00:53:52.220 insists that their capacity to halt migration flows across north africa towards britain and the eu faces

00:53:57.080 significant obstacles due to existing united nations sanctions that restrict their access to

00:54:01.780 advanced surveillance technology and search and rescue equipment um so they're basically appealing to

00:54:06.840 us for a bit of help here libyan maritime forces currently intercept as many as eight vessels

00:54:11.360 daily during busy periods so they're doing a better job than we are already the our ones ferry them

00:54:16.920 across the channel they do major general khalid al shreer um i think it's perhaps i don't know um

00:54:23.460 deputy chief of illegal immigration combat department said we want to cooperate with the uk libya is in

00:54:29.940 the place where your crisis starts we are the first point of contact um we are also the ones who are

00:54:35.520 trying to stop the problem with almost no international help we don't need money so they're willing to do it

00:54:40.780 for free we gave france 250 million yes i wouldn't give france any money but we have i know it's

00:54:47.260 a quarter of a billion and they're still and they're still every day a thousand come across 0.98

00:54:51.520 uh you are stupid free just help us it's got free money from us basically why did we give money to 0.99

00:54:58.780 the same i can't believe it's the libyan navy that's that meme where it's taking all the daggers and 1.00

00:55:03.400 the backs of brink of all the people yeah the libyan navy okay all right oh base bros i guess

00:55:11.380 hey libya if you want to get revenge for colonialism we'll help you the french have ripped us off let's 1.00

00:55:16.120 get them back shall we both got an enemy here haven't we we've got a new best friend you know

00:55:21.580 we like you but i'm afraid you're not offering us military assistance you know we're still good

00:55:28.800 friends but libya is our new best friend now and he carries on to say um he cautioned that britain's

00:55:34.620 welfare provisions were creating powerful incentives for migration attempts even in libya

00:55:38.860 they can tell that he explained that successful arrivals share their experiences with communities back

00:55:43.680 home and it encourages future migration and all they want in exchange for our help is just helping

00:55:50.020 exchange our experience basically just training them which is win-win i would be more than happy to

00:55:56.760 do that if i were prime minister i'd be like listen we'll sort you out libya you're our new best buddy

00:56:01.660 now no more sanctions for you um you know we're gonna help train you up we're gonna we're gonna make

00:56:06.420 you a powerful country this is turning into donald trump now um such an easy win though for the british

00:56:11.120 government mm-hmm so what what does the the british government do well they they release an app that

00:56:19.020 makes it easier to become a uk citizen or a british citizen which uh immediately skyrocketed to third in

00:56:25.700 the apple app store um amongst the life in the uk test i like the way you have to pay five quid for

00:56:31.880 it though they're like it's a pretty low we have to pay for that we pay that they get their oh yeah

00:56:38.500 yeah yeah yeah but like they're thinking we'll recoup some of our money here yeah yeah and you might

00:56:44.580 take some consolation and say well at least some things are outside of the purview of the government

00:56:49.400 um but it's not much better here's a railway bridge which i've actually seen in in feel i've been

00:56:55.220 through field station a few times uh this took longer than the empire state building to build

00:57:00.260 i saw it wasn't a lib dem uh constituency so i saw something about right yeah i saw something

00:57:07.440 very similar with the lib dem not davy but just some other random lib dem uh standing on a staircase

00:57:12.140 saying this took 10 years to build but it's finally done it's like isn't that embarrassing that's

00:57:17.440 really bad yeah can you guess roughly what it was predicted to cost originally uh in 2011 i think

00:57:24.080 it was like 3 million or something um less than that 1.25 million and who can guess what it

00:57:30.020 actually costs 10 million that's really close actually 9.5 million so significantly 10 million

00:57:38.940 pounds later and the worst thing is it's hideous yeah it's not even good we could have an empire

00:57:46.280 estate building but we have this it's ugly it's overpriced it's at 10 years to build what is going

00:57:53.260 on oh country does another hs2 yeah it is yeah yeah and uh lewis you'll definitely remember this

00:58:01.180 because i nearly broke you when i talked about this last time oh no this isn't right um i'll go

00:58:05.740 back to that yeah yeah i i this was the african tribe that had moved to scotland and uh they've

00:58:13.420 finally been arrested and evicted after all that time uh i don't know what's going to happen to

00:58:19.360 them but they've been living in the woods uh larping as an african tribe even though two of them

00:58:23.840 actually are african they they it's not much of a laugh is it yeah but they were wearing like nepalese 0.89

00:58:29.600 clothes and like the the supposed tribal leader was walking around with a stick in his mouth all

00:58:35.660 times rolling his eyes into the back of his head he's just like what are you doing you weirdos

00:58:39.800 but um they also have seven children in care which i hope also get deported with them um

00:58:45.080 but here's uh birmingham as well with that african you got the libyans on the phone look we can we

00:58:51.280 can deal with it yeah the libyans yeah we send them to libya they'll be on the market though you

00:58:56.800 know what the libyans are like not my problem bro you came to britain we're gonna we're bringing

00:59:01.680 back this no i'm not gonna say that um but look at the state of the streets yeah it's all just

00:59:08.100 declining obviously there was a big scandal with the birmingham bins is that still happening well

00:59:12.420 obviously yeah it's still happening it's a state on an estate by the looks of it as you can tell i

00:59:17.420 don't keep up with what's going on in birmingham yeah lucky you yeah um it's also worth mentioning

00:59:23.300 that this tribe um that a woman in texas is pleading for her daughter to be deported and she still

00:59:30.640 hasn't been so we've got her family members actively saying please deport her and uh yeah

00:59:36.440 right because she's living with the scottish tribe yes 1.00

00:59:39.200 it's ridiculous they can't even deport someone whose family wants them to be deported i just want

00:59:47.120 an oliver cromwell come in and just cut through all of this a man can dream and uh yes do you know

00:59:54.760 what uh what's being put save britain to uh close some of the budget shortfalls banks are now being

01:00:02.100 ordered to sleep on pensioners notoriously very wealthy pensioners with no money to to heat the

01:00:09.040 houses pensioners committing all that fraud what it's not pensioners that are fraudulently exploiting

01:00:14.240 the british government is it really hmm i don't know about that um and uh a bit more of a darker turn

01:00:22.120 obviously um there was the attack in manchester the the anti-terror police the armed response police

01:00:30.500 accidentally shot one of the victims i'm reminded i know it's perhaps not the nicest way of putting

01:00:35.980 it but it's the one thing you shouldn't have allowed to happen right yeah if you're responding

01:00:39.780 to a terrorist you don't shoot the victims um it's just seriously the worst thing that could

01:00:44.560 possibly happen there and the the statement for this like it was darkly amusing it was like you know

01:00:49.020 we are aware that this has happened it's like so you rocked up some guys have been stabbed and

01:00:52.920 they're like bang just come on yeah you know come on yeah dreadful it'd be interesting to see

01:01:00.160 the religious affiliation of the armed response officer anyway um i'm sure you've seen this

01:01:05.420 already yeah um i'm not going to real problem with britain is middle-aged white men yes union jacks

01:01:11.400 and this was in he was walking around manchester at the time talking about the synagogue attack and

01:01:16.860 saying that it's it's it's just men it's white men putting up flags that did this it's not a far

01:01:22.780 off middle eastern sectarian conflict that's been going on for many many years one of the worst

01:01:28.960 takes i think i've ever heard sorry trending as well just like he's also funded by the bbc so 0.94

01:01:34.800 that's you know taxpayers money going to pay this moron well there were signs wasn't there you know

01:01:40.140 the i think someone i can't remember who shared it um of the england squad and them singing the 0.98

01:01:46.340 national anthem years ago when he was part of the england squad and he was the only one looking down

01:01:50.360 not singing so there were signs yes and uh one thing that hasn't got much attention this is absurd

01:01:58.320 so masked man um metro link passenger they've changed it to now released gas into carriages

01:02:04.340 in three disturbing incidents so what happened is uh his name is galib saeed by the way 31 country

01:02:11.880 um he boarded the tram with a gas mask for some oh my god well because he knew what he was planning

01:02:18.520 yeah but why people were just like okay this guy's just got on in a gas mask this is normal

01:02:24.020 um and then he let off some butane gas inside the tram carriages on three separate occasions

01:02:30.180 uh the 15th of march the 20th and the 22nd he stood in the country um for some reason gosh that's

01:02:37.700 like biological what is it the biological warfare act well butane is just flammable so it would just

01:02:44.720 give you a funny smell and it might make you a bit lightheaded it doesn't actually do anything

01:02:48.660 so he's just a weirdo you know he wasn't lighting it as far as uh i'm aware he can do apparently

01:02:55.440 yeah the biological warfare inhaling butane can cause serious health risks including respiratory

01:03:00.480 distress hypoxia and cardiovascular issues and mean to long-term damage to the brain liver kidneys

01:03:06.140 and nervous system that explains why when i go camping i'm slightly more brain dead than normal 0.95

01:03:10.340 that does oh well like okay great thank you islamic terrorist what are we saying it well why did 0.99

01:03:16.820 you do this there's no reason given for whatever reason um i'm sure they'll try and explain it as 0.97

01:03:24.100 well he's mentally ill um yeah i'm sure no we gotta stop but no i'm butane i mean but by this standard 0.69

01:03:33.600 though anyone who does anything wrong is mentally ill so it's not an explanation really is it yeah 0.76

01:03:37.500 they use he's mentally ill to say we don't understand why he did this yeah that's what

01:03:42.280 they use it for yeah but it's also not our problem we allowed him into the country wrongfully he 0.99

01:03:47.300 shouldn't be here yeah he shouldn't be randomly gassing people and uh it's a low bar but yeah yeah i'm

01:03:55.360 gonna you know it might be controversial to some but i'm against gassing people um yeah and finally i

01:04:01.280 wanted to uh yeah i'm gonna get this i've got a gas mask if i just get enough butane i'll do what

01:04:10.180 give everyone on the on the tube a headache like thanks you it is like four lions

01:04:15.340 he does realize he he could do far more damage speaking on speakerphone that gives me a headache

01:04:22.600 yeah foreigners doing yeah but rubber dingy rapids yeah so i wanted to end on a bit of a uh this time 0.99

01:04:29.280 brother i wanted to end on a bit of a hot fuzz moment so uh overly confident black swan with a bit

01:04:37.160 of an ego banned from town um this this black swan reggie was uh living in stratford upon avon

01:04:45.280 and he's called reggie as you you suggested um i don't know why despite being 13 of the swans

01:04:51.440 so yes um we we've got authorities rounding up swans um hot fuzz is real now and the funniest thing

01:05:01.100 come out and condemn this as racist yet funny thing is it does have a racial element because

01:05:05.260 he was he was targeting the native um as it says here native white mute swans and um oh gosh just

01:05:13.780 don't point out that uh foreign black swans cause a majority of violence to native white swans otherwise 0.67

01:05:18.500 you'll be called racist and on that wonderful note i wanted to point out that uh britain is a 0.99

01:05:23.900 ridiculous country full of silly things and uh i would like it to change personally 0.98

01:05:28.000 we've got any video comments today samson michael says kemi is just the kind of charismatic leader 0.97

01:05:34.780 the tory needs uh yeah that's another thing as well kemi's just not very likable right i don't really 0.97

01:05:40.780 want to hang out with kemi like why would you put her in charge anyway let's go i'd be interested

01:05:45.540 to hear about her um you know when she's talking about being a yoruba and her blood feud that genuinely

01:05:50.780 yeah the ethnic conflict that she has or something yeah yeah let's go to the next video comment

01:05:58.520 they're shipping the pets they're shipping the cars they're taking the wealth of the people that live

01:06:07.880 there we ship pets to pakistan because if you're moving to pakistan that's something you need as a

01:06:15.220 service lovely musical rendition by the way but obviously this is just a way of moving your stolen

01:06:20.960 car isn't it pink mercedes transported pakistan sorry i know i don't mean to be insensitive but i

01:06:27.860 thought in islam dogs weren't because they're showing dogs i thought that's weird yeah that's weird

01:06:33.660 aren't women allowed to drive oh yeah but this is another can clocks the frosh has just come out 1.00

01:06:41.800 with a 15 tax on remittances as well it's like no you're not sending money without us having some

01:06:46.220 of it the chinese just have a solid cap on it and i mean that's the way to do it just like you can't 1.00

01:06:51.680 send more than x amount of money which is quite a small amount of money as well people probably get

01:06:55.420 up in arms about that though you know who well yeah but you don't want to end up in the labor position

01:06:59.700 where everyone hates you so you know if it's foreigners though they're not gonna be around 1.00

01:07:03.540 for long it's not that you just want to make sure everything's kind of lubricated right so it's just

01:07:08.080 like okay yeah no you know it's just 15 that's not much can't really complain about that carry on

01:07:12.320 you know and that the incentive will just slowly but surely ground it down because it's just not worth

01:07:16.820 it but i think the idea of people coming here extracting wealth from the country i suppose if if we

01:07:21.320 have mass mr free markete here well i thought you know that's the thing i'm not in favor of

01:07:27.140 remittances well i'm not either really but um but it is one of those things where it's

01:07:31.820 there'll be a lot of people who are throwing up objections so actually i mean you could cap it but

01:07:37.440 like and just you know put it as a hard cap but like if you just put a tax on it i think that

01:07:42.400 it would go through quite smoothly and then it would just be a disincentive so anyway who cares yeah

01:07:48.440 even if you're a net tax contributor if you're sending remittances back you're still a net financial

01:07:53.180 drain unless you're earning an absurd amount of money yes let's go to the next one evening

01:07:58.480 loaders it is in crew i will not be attending the first fleet forum because i have to attend a

01:08:02.440 rifle shoot in order to remain in compliance for having a new south wales firearms license

01:08:06.940 and that is a 700 yard target that i'm shooting off the shoulder with a sling using target sights

01:08:14.300 700 yards and yeah if karl ever wants to see what rifle shooting australia looks like i'm more than

01:08:22.160 willing to show him and sam also goes for craig cooper if he ever wants to see what rifle shooting

01:08:27.080 looks like in australia i'm more than willing to teach him very cool and the next one

01:08:57.080 so we couldn't use the doodos that we usually use because they got copyright claimed on youtube

01:09:10.760 so people submitting more music that was a perfectly fine piece of music but i feel that it was more

01:09:16.100 appropriate for like a naval invasion rather than the beginning of the podcast we're gonna save that

01:09:20.720 for our reconquest of britain but it is a great piece of music i really liked it it was very good

01:09:25.900 though let's go to the next one hey guys fane scotty of swindon did a few video comments about

01:09:31.880 50ps and i thought i'd show you some of mine the battle of hastings oh very cool sherlock holmes

01:09:39.040 the battle of britain the victoria cross paddington bear and here's some two pound coins

01:09:48.640 charles darwin isombard kingdom brunelp william shakespeare and the abolition of the slave trade

01:09:57.560 have i never seen any of them i've seen the abolition of the slave trade one and i was like

01:10:01.720 oh um i don't know i've not seen any of those the government wants to get rid of it as well

01:10:10.100 what the abolition of the slave trade oh right oh sorry yeah nearly caught me out then so from

01:10:16.920 the website uh michael says uh sorry no yeah i hope reform is smart enough not to run any of 0.58

01:10:21.400 these tory defectors defectors cannot be trusted yeah and also they're the losers i don't know why

01:10:25.960 france wants them like i found all of these losers in the tory party why literally yeah literally 0.97

01:10:34.060 what do you need dean doris for i suppose when there is another election they're going to get

01:10:38.240 replaced by reform anyway so it's just like a way of sort of controlling it for a bit

01:10:42.680 i don't know maybe i mean maybe just um you know like uh he's like yeah walk through this door and

01:10:49.680 there's a black pit just through the door so it's just i don't know but uh a lot of tories down there

01:10:55.260 yeah exactly uh omar says while i applaud the use of socialists as a pejorative the tories are very much

01:11:01.260 casting stones in a glass parliament yeah i know it's just like the idea that the tories have got any

01:11:05.500 room to be like yeah look at the nudge of rogers state spending plans socialist yeah what a

01:11:10.060 socialist so you can shut up it's just highest tax burden since the war under you you know what

01:11:17.200 are you talking about uh jimbo says i'm glad the tories are dead in the water kemi is still a wef 0.98

01:11:22.120 shill no matter what she says is she a wef shill i don't know yep there is a photo of her uh at the

01:11:27.900 world economic forum with the banner behind her yeah that's been circulating so yep see i actually

01:11:33.940 think that's giving her too much credit right you reckon yeah i don't think she's actually a

01:11:37.380 wef shill what i think she is is a massive opportunist and she was just like all right 1.00

01:11:41.220 if i go to this there are people there that might give me something well that's that's how i've seen

01:11:45.680 the the world economic forum really now i've i've been to davos and done like the you know gone

01:11:51.680 around and seen the pop-up shops of palantir there meta doorstepping some of the people trying to go

01:11:56.860 in and um it's so much fun because they're just it's just a conglomerate that's getting edited i've

01:12:03.260 been to davos it's so much it's so much fun the doorstepping um but it's just corporate grooming

01:12:09.660 that's all it is uh really to the to all the people on the lower levels um of it because there's

01:12:15.660 obviously levels to it yeah um it's just a networking event isn't it yeah for globalists

01:12:21.420 techno-globalists yeah yeah um not a fed says with these kind of polling numbers would anyone

01:12:28.500 honestly complain if king charles intervened and demanded parliament hold a snap election to

01:12:32.020 restore the legitimacy of the democratic system well even if they complained what would what would

01:12:37.140 they be able to do about it like parliament is not gonna be able to raise an army to fight the king

01:12:40.480 like you know there's there's no way in hell anyone would be happy with them at all so like i don't

01:12:48.040 even know what their plan would be i think uh charles is gonna keep his nose clean doing something

01:12:52.620 like that is the the actions of a popular man you know you don't have the legitimacy to start doing

01:12:58.580 meddling in the political system let's keep rolling says the conservatives read the room and they found

01:13:02.880 it empty just brutal yeah russian says uh want to report a pothole you better hand over your latest

01:13:10.760 colonic map irish scan and fingerprints citizen it's really bizarre isn't it as if we can't see through

01:13:17.080 what it is they're trying to do this is the final piece of the entire puzzle that gives them

01:13:21.180 complete total uh control over the entire country it's like yeah can we just do it no uh kevin says

01:13:29.100 kia was against digital id but is now pushing it wait for the 2029 election labor has been against

01:13:33.560 compulsory id voting for years but you can bet it will be the only form of acceptable id for voting

01:13:38.220 everyone can refuse to take part and the majority will uh refuse to take part while these migrants given 1.00

01:13:43.200 irl indefinitely to remain uh will be giving it straight away and labor will depend on them

01:13:48.420 to vote in back in because everyone else will not be allowed to vote i think it's i think it's over i

01:13:53.300 just don't think they're going to be able to get it even you know they can't they can't bring in

01:13:56.800 enough migrants and give them digital ids to get labor elected again that's just not happening 1.00

01:14:01.720 frankly you are right though that a lot of left-wing parties that but they're basically relying

01:14:06.120 on importing in new voters because they're alienating that they own native electorate yeah

01:14:11.860 now nigel farage is looking at 400 seats that's insane it's wild we are still here you know yeah

01:14:19.540 yeah exactly now yeah we are actually still here and you know i mean i don't have any great faith

01:14:25.940 in farage but he'll probably do some things that are good you know at best he's gonna delay the

01:14:32.620 decline yeah he just needs a a proper right-wing uh opposition to sort of nudge yeah yeah it's true

01:14:41.380 fuzzy toaster says i will relinquish my private financial affairs the government the day they

01:14:45.880 display all their own private financial streams uh when the public purse is no longer being so

01:14:50.300 horribly wasted oh and when pigs fly uh the thing is though even if they could do that i still don't

01:14:55.200 want to relinquish all of my personal autonomy to them i actually don't want the government having

01:14:58.880 control of everything that i do which again radical i'm the problem george says i've seen compliance

01:15:06.240 during the covid lockdowns i'm worried that a lot of normies will accept digital id to continue living

01:15:09.720 normally uh the only thing preventing is how unpopular starmer is yeah i mean he it was like

01:15:14.720 polling like 60 until starmer suggested it and then it went down to 13 because it came out of his 0.98

01:15:19.780 mail yeah exactly so thank you keir starmer for killing digital yeah you moron and derrick says uh 0.99

01:15:25.760 government should be the neighbor everyone hates i think oh they are yeah yeah they are yeah they're 0.99

01:15:30.360 hiding under my bed it seems yeah yeah uh grant says the chilling effect is on the bank employees who

01:15:36.260 discuss pros and cons not the public discourse yeah that's exactly it it's like the chilling effect

01:15:40.760 is just them being inhibited in their own spaces yeah um and scott says they're stamping kids with the

01:15:47.580 number of the beast it kind of is i mean like you know i'm not some sort of person who believes in

01:15:52.420 prophecy and revelation or anything but that is actually what the mark of the beast is in revelation

01:15:57.600 where everyone gets stamped and it prevents you from trading and doing buying and selling yeah buying and

01:16:02.100 selling literally like that's like that's actually the wording of it bizarre isn't it yeah and so it's

01:16:07.480 just like huh trying to get caught up with all yeah because we don't know that's the that's the primary

01:16:13.060 um part of the uh the principles and the the theological undertones of revelation is you know you don't

01:16:22.020 know the hour it's like a thief in the night um so just don't dwell on it really but it's important to

01:16:28.940 obviously read it and understand it and to see signs but it's actually kind of crazy like so it's

01:16:32.880 revelation 13 16 and 17 right revelations 13 and 16 and 17 verses and he causes all both great and

01:16:39.820 small rich and poor free and bond to receive a mark on their right hand or in their or in their

01:16:43.580 foreheads and that no man might buy or sell save he had that mark or the name of the beast and the

01:16:48.480 number of his name that is weird yeah you should do a thing on revelation go through it from your

01:16:53.420 revelation is mental yeah and i can't make any sense out of it because i assume the things that

01:16:59.520 it was talking about happened thousands of years ago it's heavy theological uh but it's also it makes

01:17:05.240 a series of predictions it's like okay but those predictions only made sense in the context of like

01:17:09.680 2 000 years ago right so like you know they're like oh yeah in 500 years and it's like okay but

01:17:13.960 a lot of symbolism a lot of symbolism yeah it's it's all changed so it doesn't make any sense to me

01:17:19.240 um but yeah it's genuinely weird though uh jimbo says i have a bad feeling that reform if they win

01:17:25.640 will face the same lawfare media bombardment that trump did rendering them unable to do anything

01:17:29.580 getting the blame for it which will be a gift to people like zach polanski yeah um the this is the

01:17:35.560 thing that reform should be planning for though right reform should be like right this is going to

01:17:38.780 happen uh basically what they should have is probably like 20 or 30 people uh for each institution

01:17:45.660 right prepared for each institution just go in and just fire the top 20 or 30 people in each

01:17:50.980 institution replace them with your own people let the people on the ground let the grunts do the 0.91

01:17:55.280 day work but replace the people in positions of authority with your people it's it's actually a

01:18:00.640 different scenario than in the u.s because the u.s because of its division of powers um it has more

01:18:07.540 pressure points externally on the political system whereas the british system because we have

01:18:12.340 you know the the government coming from the legislature you know if you have a majority

01:18:18.180 government you can basically you're an elected elected dictator in effect and so it's a lot harder

01:18:24.580 to interfere but the problem in britain is that the civil service are sort of their own shadow

01:18:30.300 government and so that's a sort of different but parallel problem in that trump has that to a certain

01:18:36.040 extent but it seems like he fired loads of them yeah exactly five tens of thousands of them and i think

01:18:41.220 nigel should do the same i think it would be a little bit more difficult here but it should be

01:18:44.680 done nonetheless day one pass the law i can fire any of the civil servants i like day two pretty good

01:18:50.160 you know like seriously you just got you just got to be really really uncompromising about it

01:18:55.100 so like sorry no you're all going they're all labor voters anyway you're not missing out yeah the

01:18:58.640 remainers like you're nigel farage you're mr brexit and the civil service is 95 percent remain

01:19:05.100 yeah so just fire them all yeah when nigel walks into a room a civil servant should be 1.00

01:19:10.340 visibly shaking in his presence probably will be probably will be probably no i'm not even joking 0.99

01:19:14.320 they probably are pretty pathetic aren't they zesty king says in case you don't mention it josh 0.94

01:19:19.340 the british government recently gave kenya 2.1 million because last year the british military 0.97

01:19:23.480 didn't exercise there and started a fire at least we actually did something to to give them the money

01:19:28.240 normally we just give it away for free so it's almost in ordinary times i would be annoyed at that 0.98

01:19:33.660 um but we give away so much free money that it's actually not that bad i'm so tired of how shit 0.97

01:19:39.860 everything is i'm so tired of it man i'm just so disappointed day after day of how rubbish everything 0.93

01:19:47.360 people really appreciate your rants i appreciate that yeah yeah i do it there's no need for it

01:19:53.880 it does make me sort of a little bit depressed that i worked so hard to make something of myself

01:19:58.560 and then i merge into the world to discover that oh right everyone's a loser now yeah and no one can

01:20:04.560 do anything right yeah it's it's not even that it's it's just whenever there's a decision to be made

01:20:09.600 every single time the wrong decision the opposite decision of success and prosperity and decency is

01:20:15.880 made it's like i'm quite optimistic though you know yeah yeah no i can't go on forever yeah yeah

01:20:20.740 exactly the pendulum must swing the other way finally it's so bad it's only get good again the system

01:20:26.580 has to collapse at some point uh it just oh wow oh that's half full uh it is i mean this

01:20:35.240 and the speed things are changing it's going to be within our lifetimes uh furious dan says in this

01:20:40.560 in the government paying people is more important uh paying people is more important than the work

01:20:44.060 that comes for it gdp go up yeah that's genuinely what they believe uh paul says the new government

01:20:48.680 logo is preparing for a reformed government they kindly changed it to the reformed teal blue yeah i did see

01:20:53.560 oh yeah i didn't think about that so you know why have they changed it to like they want to keep

01:20:57.540 their jobs i guess yeah they want to spend two days a week gardening on taxpayers nigel i want an

01:21:04.460 absolute bloodbath in the civil service i'd actually genuinely be interested because the one of the

01:21:08.620 main ways you get toxoplasmosis is through contact with cat excrement when you're gardening and i bet you

01:21:15.040 because there was a big scandal with the civil servant spending their time gardening bet you there are

01:21:19.100 higher rates than the civil service this is this is going to be my my quest for knowledge i do just

01:21:24.500 genuinely want to see them frog marched out of the buildings and change though you remember the 1.00

01:21:28.880 civil service you're under arrest just wheel up a a massive trebuchet outside to intimidate them as

01:21:34.640 they're wheeled out not actually use it but just scare them uh fuzzy toaster says you gov uh i offer my

01:21:40.540 services for five grand forget these jokers asking for hundreds of thousands i think he's underbid us

01:21:45.100 there man uh derrick 1500 derrick says uh dan does the green screen better if you know you know

01:21:52.740 that was from the oh yeah the election stream yeah the new you go you gov logo is also blurred they 0.83

01:22:00.620 really just used an image of photoshop it's crazy how we're allowing everything to be this crap like

01:22:06.560 it's just and then just i'm not gonna go on i'm just gonna just enhance my car channel it mate yeah

01:22:16.600 so sophie says just reminds me of the movie death of stalin where the director had to tone down events

01:22:21.560 because real events were so ridiculous any audience wouldn't believe it even as a comedy 0.66

01:22:25.040 life has always just been more ridiculous than fiction uh yeah well i mean that modern britain

01:22:29.540 has anyway oh yeah moomin says reform have leafleted my area 227 asylum seekers have been now being 0.67

01:22:36.880 housed in our city as a hotel in a hotel adjacent to our local airport what could go wrong well again

01:22:42.100 it's like a brass eye episode so this is the one thing we didn't want to happen so i mean in in

01:22:46.780 epping in particular where it's literally within sight of a school yeah we're just going to put all

01:22:51.060 these weird men that we haven't vetted and have an unhealthy interest in children right next to the

01:22:55.700 school hmm what could possibly go wrong it's the last thing we wanted you know unsurprisingly they 0.98

01:23:00.320 start molesting the kids sorry i'm not laughing no i'm not laughing but it's so ridiculous like it is 0.97

01:23:06.440 yeah wasn't there the other day the school got shut down because someone was breaking into it 0.99

01:23:10.160 was that an epic uh yeah that was an epic yeah so what he was loitering around the school grounds

01:23:15.300 yeah but then apparently he had to break into the back of it or something like that and it's like

01:23:19.180 i just like it's like it's a well i'm almost kind of impressed at the commitment

01:23:24.980 to evil and crime right yeah if i went somewhere i probably wouldn't commit very many crimes but

01:23:30.300 these guys seem to really be like yeah no i've got a quota it's a cartoonishly evil yeah yeah it is

01:23:35.920 cartoonishly if i were conspiratorially minded i'd think that reforms like paying them off to be worse

01:23:41.620 just so they get more voters well it's working uh explosion says there is a black mirror episode

01:23:48.220 where people give each other essentially yelp reviews that actually affect their ability to get

01:23:51.780 loans and access higher quality services oh that's the future you want yeah isn't it wait

01:23:56.920 what she couldn't get on a plane yeah i think the main character have you not seen that black mirror

01:24:00.660 episode i have yeah um i just think it should be oh you know there should be barriers the only

01:24:06.160 person in control of it yeah i want to pick and choose yeah uh how people are punished you speak

01:24:11.580 loudly in in public transport banned oh we got some breaking smelly food okay apparently police have

01:24:16.840 charged a man named arif ali rafiq with that mosque arson so i mean what the you know so someone

01:24:24.900 tried to set fire to a mosque the other day right right and the security camera footage captured it

01:24:28.720 and everyone's like look at this the far right the far right's on the rise was uh someone called

01:24:32.760 arif ali rafiq i mean if humza yusuf is in reform who knows there's an al murray joke somewhere

01:24:39.920 there there is isn't there very much so but um but the point is like no notice how this is not about

01:24:45.280 what's actually true or false this is just about it's basically about stigmatizing the native british

01:24:51.280 population well it's mudslinging seeing what sticks because most people are gonna hear oh it was a far

01:24:58.380 right person and they're not going to look up the revised information it's not going to get as much

01:25:02.660 public attention as when the original thing happened and so a certain amount of that mud sticks and it is

01:25:07.760 enough to shift discourse what i love about it is it's a it's another another proof that

01:25:11.900 multiculturalism is just working so brilliantly i know we've already mentioned it as well but that

01:25:15.700 is literally the plot or one of the lines from four lions yeah yeah it's literally what's just

01:25:24.080 happened i'm sorry chris morris is sitting there going i'm a prophet yeah yeah you can't say that

01:25:33.820 these days yeah well yeah but like genuinely i look forward to finding out that guy's motivations
