The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1387

00:00:00.180 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 1,387.

00:00:07.500 I thought we were 500 ahead of what we actually are. It's very ambitious of me.

00:00:12.440 For the 1st of April, 2026, I'm your host, Luca, joined today by Josh and Stelios.

00:00:18.000 Hello, everyone.

00:00:18.580 And on this auspicious April Fool's Day, Stelios and I are Mediterranean maxing.

00:00:23.120 We're like your Mediterranean bodyguards.

00:00:24.960 Yes. Well, I should just take the tie off, the waistcoat, just go. Yeah, I should have.

00:00:30.940 We're trying to manifest the summer. It's been cold and miserable here for too long.

00:00:35.060 Yeah, well, I'll med-max another day. Anyway, today we're going to be talking all about the anti-racist action, inaction,

00:00:43.820 and how actually this entire, the entire project of anti-racism has not produced the results that are best for anyone involved, really.

00:00:54.260 We're then going to be talking about the British government lying to us

00:00:57.620 because it's a day in a week, in a year, in the 21st century and in Britain.

00:01:04.380 It's not the most unusual thing to happen,

00:01:06.980 but it's something that no one else has noticed except me,

00:01:10.160 and I'm very annoyed and disappointed at everyone except me.

00:01:13.460 You're a perceptive man.

00:01:14.940 And then we're going to be having some fun out.

00:01:17.260 We're talking all about the Canadian leftists of Canada getting utterly humiliated.

00:01:23.560 Yeah, not all leftists. It's the new democratic party, the one that was led by Jagmeet Singh.

00:01:29.500 Okay. 0.99

00:01:30.020 Yeah, we are going to talk about them and they have been absolutely ridiculous. 0.96

00:01:34.500 Okay, great. And then before we do, just a few announcements. I have a new chronicles out where

00:01:39.380 I'm talking all about the Barcai by Euripides. It's a fantastic play. It's a tragedy about the

00:01:47.040 birth of tragedy, about the arrival of Dionysus into Hellas, arriving in Thebes and all of the

00:01:53.940 the Bachic rituals, Dionysus as a god of theatre and wine and festival. It's about all of these

00:02:00.600 things being brought into Greek civilization and how some tragedy and fear had to take place first

00:02:08.220 in order to get to the good stuff. So it's a very entertaining play and I think you'll enjoy the

00:02:13.400 analysis uh you'll also probably know by now but i shall tell you in case you haven't got a ticket

00:02:18.720 yet uh we have a live event coming up april 11th at the uh local mecca in swindon uh all of the

00:02:25.660 food that yeah well there will be beer there will be beer and if there is meat i assume it won't be

00:02:31.120 it's not that type of mecca uh but do come and enjoy um some time with us we'll be on stage

00:02:35.860 we'll have a live lads hour we'll have some good discussion some good banter and a lot of drinking

00:02:41.760 what's not to love all right then so um for as long as we've been alive anti-racism the idea of

00:02:51.180 using the institutions to socially engineer society to basically constantly take away

00:03:00.660 from the native habits and native customs and native culture all of the the guardrails right

00:03:06.220 that actually made civilization homely safe predictable and somewhere where you would want

00:03:11.840 to bring your children up all of these things we've seen them slowly incrementally being taken

00:03:17.300 away from us by voices who never had our own interests at heart because really of course

00:03:23.580 anti-racism really just means anti-white that also their efforts um i've covered this quite

00:03:30.160 early on in my career like unconscious bias training actually makes people more racist yes

00:03:35.660 And there's actually a growing body of literature

00:03:37.920 that exposure to other cultures within one's own culture

00:03:41.240 makes you more racist.

00:03:43.240 And this is a problem.

00:03:44.520 It's the opposite of what they're trying to do.

00:03:47.160 Yeah, and this is a problem because we have brought in

00:03:49.980 a lot of different cultures at this point, right?

00:03:52.800 And the other thing as well is that even if that might be

00:03:56.520 what the data proves, of course,

00:03:58.500 the elites are pathologically committed to going down this route,

00:04:04.300 even to the suicide of European civilization, right? So they're entirely committed to it. 0.93

00:04:11.240 And while they babble on about foreign interference from places such as Russia,

00:04:16.500 one of the things that they won't talk about when framing a discussion on foreign interference,

00:04:20.800 of course, is just the day-to-day encroachment of foreign interference in our daily lives,

00:04:27.320 in the lives of ordinary people just going about their business on the streets. And we can see

00:04:33.080 here i just wanted to open by talking about uh the latest exciting announcement from the european

00:04:39.320 union oh yay um this is as you can tell from uh towards the end of march and they say the

00:04:46.280 international day for the elimination of racial discrimination uh racial equity is not an

00:04:52.260 aspiration reserved for some but a right guaranteed for all this simple principle was agreed by

00:04:59.200 countries across the world when they adopted the international convention on the elimination of all

00:05:04.840 forms of racial discrimination. Yet six decades on, the promise remains unfulfilled. And I would

00:05:12.960 just like to point out, guys, how much money? How much money? How many human resources? How much

00:05:20.600 social engineering? How much re-education? Just all of the numerous methods of control

00:05:27.220 that they have tried to use in order to pivot to a more quote-unquote equitable society?

00:05:34.760 It's their way of justifying their positions and all money that they take.

00:05:39.860 Europe is one of the least, perhaps the least racist continent.

00:05:44.740 Yes.

00:05:45.220 And the very fact that a debate and discussion is to be had about it

00:05:50.940 suggests a level of openness to questions of the sort.

00:05:55.940 no such openness exists elsewhere i see the term racist as an inherently anti-white term now right

00:06:04.800 it's just a word to keep us down and keep us in our box and allow the minorities to extract our 1.00

00:06:11.060 resources because our word yes it is um but the whole purpose of it is just to silence white 0.95

00:06:18.800 people politically so that a critical mass of minorities can come into their countries

00:06:23.820 and then take over that's that's basically what it is it's a way of facilitating our replacement

00:06:30.000 in our own countries because there's no legitimate reason to not apply the same standard across the

00:06:37.400 board someone being mean to you um still affects you no matter what part of the world you're from

00:06:43.480 and so the idea that you've got to give special treatment to all the minorities um yes is

00:06:49.820 rationally and just subjectively as well ridiculous and of course as well it sends a

00:06:56.060 strong message to european peoples that they are essentially just yesterday's men you know that 0.96

00:07:01.320 actually uh we are we're actively working to decentralize and and take out the importance of

00:07:08.400 your voice in your own civilization and actually raise up the voices of people who have just

00:07:14.120 derived by any means necessary, right? It can be from the most bizarre of origins and basically

00:07:20.160 say that their concerns are more important than yours. So the EU are going to occupy themselves

00:07:26.280 with further, you know, central planning of all of these questions that they've not been able to

00:07:31.200 solve for six decades, but somehow feel that they're going to solve now. And of course,

00:07:36.240 the other thing as well, though this is an article from towards the end of last year,

00:07:40.340 I thought it is a significant thing to bring up, which is that Britain is becoming more racist than Mahmoud, says Shabana Mahmoud, their Home Secretary.

00:07:50.200 And I think one of the things that's important to mention here in the way that the article frames this is that she doesn't qualify this in terms of data or analysis points.

00:08:00.880 She just draws on anecdotal evidence. She just talks about the things that she's had said to her in her own life and in the lives of her friends and family as well.

00:08:12.080 And so but that's really how a lot of the country is measuring this, isn't it?

00:08:16.780 It's not about fine statistics are exceptionally useful and that they're good for taking those arguments, you know, debating those arguments in the square.

00:08:26.220 But actually, the emotional investment and when you go out your door every morning and you just live in the world that is being created by all of this, that is where the true reality of the situation is.

00:08:40.940 And she goes on to say, the position on race relations, I feel, if you're an ethnic minority in Britain, you can say with confidence, unfortunately, has deteriorated.

00:08:50.480 Ms Mahmood blamed racism for the denial over Britain's illegal migration problem, adding, I just cannot understand that kind of politics.

00:08:59.080 I can't understand why anyone would think that that's a way to keep minority communities in this country safe and secure. 1.00

00:09:05.340 And I suppose revealed within that, of course, is the intention behind it all, of course, because Mahmood sees this existential threat that actually the illegals are bad optically for all immigrants as kind of like a client group of the state itself.

00:09:26.520 And so what you have here is really when she says, well, it's about making the minority groups safe and secure.

00:09:32.940 It's like, OK, but the reason that the racism is rising is because it's significantly to the detriment of the already settled people of Britain, right?

00:09:43.460 The actual native English people.

00:09:45.180 Well, I actually agree with the headline of this article that I think Britain is becoming more racist.

00:09:50.860 But I think that it's because of actions like people in the Labour Party and the Tories to what has been done to people, as well as the fact, of course, that if you look at the hate crime reporting, obviously, I don't agree with hate crimes in the first place.

00:10:05.160 But if you do look at who are the main victims of that in Britain, it's still the native white British, the majority group there. 0.89

00:10:13.880 Yeah, absolutely. And one of the reasons I just wanted to bring up this old BBC article back from the height of the BLM craze as well is that when it says what is Black Lives Matter and what are its aims, right?

00:10:26.720 Obviously, one of the things was that because some criminal in Minnesota died of a drug overdose on the bridge, that meant that we had to go through an entire cultural revolution in Europe as well.

00:10:39.020 that just makes sense, I suppose. And the other thing about all of this is, of course, they were

00:10:45.180 saying to us, well, we have certain demands of you, right? We demand, we the minority communities,

00:10:51.800 we the black community, have been threats so unfairly, and we have certain demands to make

00:10:57.600 life in Britain better for us. And one of the things that was absent the entirety of the way

00:11:04.400 through and I'm not even going to call it a conversation because of course as we know the

00:11:10.000 outcomes and politically correct you know reasons for for all of this had already been predetermined

00:11:17.020 I mean you couldn't have a conversation because if you pushed back from the other side you would

00:11:21.500 lose your job yeah or get arrested yeah so there was no conversation there was just this is what

00:11:26.520 we're telling you shut up and watch your country become more dangerous as a result of it there's

00:11:34.080 another aspect into it wokeness and this type of leftism is not universalist in uh in the sense of

00:11:42.320 looking at human beings they're looking at groups and they're trying to establish a hierarchy of

00:11:48.120 oppression try to say well if you're more oppressed than other people you need to have preferential

00:11:53.720 treatment and the groups that the left is trying to gain support from are incompatible yeah right

00:12:01.640 the quiz for for gaza shows this they're incompatible groups the only way to hold

00:12:09.780 incompatible groups together is to invent a common enemy and even if there isn't such a common enemy

00:12:15.640 yeah if there is such a common enemy you talk about them if there isn't you're inventing that

00:12:21.340 common enemy i think this is why we constantly hear about the far right we constantly hear about

00:12:26.240 the extreme right wing and the all the you know racism all these catchphrases is that

00:12:32.760 these incompatibilities become very much visible they cannot be brushed under the carpet and the

00:12:40.660 way to deal with that for from the left's perspective is to say guys however incompatible

00:12:46.780 you are we have a common enemy the far right is rising racism is rising extremism is rising

00:12:53.240 and for some reason the far right is a problem for them only when it's the native far right

00:13:01.280 racism is a problem only when it's native racism and also self-determination is bad when it's the

00:13:08.280 natives but i'd like to draw on a word that you use there which is just to say that um certain

00:13:14.120 groups are incompatible with one another and this is only talking about it in terms of the leftist

00:13:19.800 alliance right again stills but what i think and one of the reasons that uh shabana is conscious of

00:13:25.740 the changing public opinion out there as well is that actually in many european societies the

00:13:33.100 native european peoples are slowly starting to learn that also many of the groups and um you

00:13:39.540 know um that have tried to chip off you know just wedge themselves into certain aspects of civilization

00:13:46.100 are incompatible with us right they're incompatible with us i would say uh 13 percent of the population 0.87

00:13:53.900 of london committing was it 61 percent of knife murders and 63 percent of gun crime right i would

00:14:02.420 say that's incompatible right and actually to to draw on that exact point as well when you talk

00:14:08.200 about the behavior of those sorts of groups in london right this is one of the things that seem

00:14:13.780 to be um largely missed in the uh in the dialogue coming from the blm types which was that we have

00:14:20.700 endless demands to make of you for how you need to change for how you need to do better for how

00:14:26.840 you complicate us uh but we actually have no demands of ourselves uh such as fixing fatherless

00:14:35.140 and fatherlessness in the home fixing the ghetto culture endless excuses right it's pure f no 1.00

00:14:41.300 narcissism isn't it yes it's like we're perfect as a group we only have demands from you despite

00:14:46.680 being possibly have a problem with us could you you don't want to get fired do you despite being

00:14:52.840 a net financial drain uh as a group as well as committing the majority of violent crime i'm

00:14:59.200 sorry i don't care about your demands you're lucky you're even here and in my opinion you shouldn't

00:15:04.420 be no uh and uh to uh you know help make that point uh we have recent events in clapham ladies

00:15:12.960 and gentlemen which like everywhere else in london when you go back to the 50s and 40s was a much

00:15:19.680 more civilized place to live and there is nothing of course more radicalizing than simply looking at

00:15:25.420 what your capital city used to be like and the harmony that used to be there yes i am aware that 0.96

00:15:30.820 it was not the utopic, but I've never claimed that it was a utopia, only that it was a damn

00:15:36.120 sight better than what's being offered to us now. And we can see here just endless,

00:15:42.660 nondescript youths starting their Easter holidays.

00:15:54.420 Yeah, but at least they're not posting on social media.

00:15:57.780 They're living in the moment.

00:15:58.740 why would these

00:16:02.520 do this

00:16:04.020 I can't believe

00:16:05.500 these youngsters would do such a thing

00:16:08.360 I'm of course referring to all the

00:16:10.580 headlines which

00:16:11.660 would refer to these

00:16:13.520 children, teenagers

00:16:16.540 by any moniker

00:16:18.280 other than the one that we're all thinking

00:16:19.960 well it's not the English community 0.86

00:16:22.540 as you can see from the camera

00:16:24.000 but this actually

00:16:25.440 this is not just people being

00:16:27.860 raucous in the middle of Marks and Spencers, this actually went much further as well. And one thing

00:16:35.480 to say is that all of this came about because it was actually coordinated. They were using TikTok

00:16:41.500 and other social media apps to basically, quote unquote, link up with other groups, you know,

00:16:47.720 other ghettos and gangs around London. Well, the message has been communicated to them that there 1.00

00:16:54.360 is not going to be any significant uh punishment for what they're doing which is when they have

00:16:59.700 when they have a police of a police force that says well we aren't going to investigate shoplifting

00:17:06.520 because we have to talk about non-crime hate incidents then yeah they are being sent the

00:17:13.920 message that you are going to get away with it well there's there's nothing within our current

00:17:19.900 society's framework to prevent them and it's not like a shop can put out a sign from back in the

00:17:24.920 day like there's no dogs no blacks no irish they can't discriminate against certain groups of

00:17:29.840 people coming in their shops and so if they come in in large numbers not only can they get away

00:17:35.440 with it because it overwhelms the security guards but there's nothing that can be done to stop it

00:17:40.360 either which they well know yeah uh and i'll just play this one as well from out so this actually

00:17:46.140 happened over the space of two days it happened first on saturday and then again on uh just

00:17:51.560 yesterday on the tuesday and i'll just play this one out from the street as well so you can see

00:17:55.560 it though i'll have to mute it why i like hearing the noises uh no because uh the guy who's filming

00:18:04.220 uses some choice words that aren't suitable for youtube patriot um but yeah as you can see it's

00:18:11.800 just total anarchy right it's total anarchy and this is the end result of these anti-racism

00:18:18.660 policies the the policies that eu and all of the institutions of europe have bent over asked

00:18:25.180 backwards for to appease these people it is to allow them to get to just get away with doing

00:18:32.040 stuff like this there's the red lines there and they stopped yeah that's that's not the problem

00:18:40.100 No, no, that's...

00:18:41.820 Traffic police, Stelios?

00:18:44.400 So it's very unusual for me to go to the Daily Mail,

00:18:48.160 but they interviewed some of the local people

00:18:51.440 who were, you know, around and eyewitnesses to this.

00:18:55.080 And so they just go on to report on the fact

00:18:57.900 that security guards working for the supermarket

00:19:01.260 told the Daily Mail that he had to lock shoppers in

00:19:05.340 for a while before gradually allowing them

00:19:09.360 to be escorted out by officers,

00:19:12.480 Mohamed said,

00:19:13.820 police warned us that there would be chaos,

00:19:15.720 so we prepared for it

00:19:16.560 because that's what had happened last Saturday.

00:19:18.760 There were loads of kids sprinting and shouting

00:19:20.780 and police advised all the shops to close for one hour.

00:19:24.500 He added that the supermarket decided

00:19:26.920 that instead to just close for the day

00:19:28.820 and not reopened,

00:19:30.140 but that some of the shoppers remained inside.

00:19:32.900 Police knew roughly the time of day

00:19:34.800 and they said it would start at around 4 p.m.

00:19:37.300 so they were here since around midday but the chaos really happened at 7 p.m can't even be

00:19:43.320 punctual for their own their own riots there's a joke here isn't there yeah uh we had to uh lock

00:19:49.960 the shoppers in at 8 15 p.m uh we let them out one by one with the police and security holding

00:19:55.520 the door shut and escorting them out shoppers were very scared there was one lady with a pram 0.99

00:20:00.140 and a baby she was terrified but the police escorted her to safely uh muhammad added that

00:20:05.860 the rioters targeted a branch of boots which was not as well prepared for the chaos as other shops

00:20:12.100 a waitrose also closed its doors sticking uh a police advised closure notice on the front door

00:20:18.960 interesting that they targeted a waitrose and a marks and spencer's because i imagine their

00:20:24.340 families probably don't shop at those shops they're known to be a bit more upmarket yeah

00:20:29.000 well obviously well to be fair uh mcdonald's was also forced to shut as well well to be fair

00:20:35.480 that's not unusual um you know a bunch of youths causing problems in mcdonald's they all have

00:20:40.300 bouncers now which is back in my day i'm not even that old now they didn't have to have a bouncer

00:20:45.540 on the door right and also um just on the absolute off chance that there is someone who works at the

00:20:51.920 clapham mcdonald's who is watching this uh next time this happens just play some beethoven that

00:20:58.320 sorts everything right out i've heard holy water isn't it it is yeah beautiful um they should put

00:21:05.060 on to joy yeah the crowd will be overjoyed um and that by um 10 30 the um commotion had basically

00:21:13.200 died out and they'd disappeared though that's not entirely true uh because they also went on to stop

00:21:19.760 start fires on clapham common as well this is just you see the sort of behavior that you get up to

00:21:26.220 when the easter holidays come around i'm sure you two have very very fond memories of the easter

00:21:32.420 break getting in you've worked very hard on your exams and then what you go and just start a riot

00:21:37.580 at the local supermarket or a good way to yeah or a fire on the local green you did this right

00:21:45.040 i was a miscreant youth but i didn't do this sort of thing oh it was sort of wholesome you know

00:21:51.060 misbehavior that didn't really harm anyone i suspect you must have come from a very different

00:21:56.260 set of youths then i would say so yeah to to have different behaviors um but it goes on to say that

00:22:02.740 a fire was started in clapham common as chaos erupted with large crowds of people gathering

00:22:08.280 forcing the shops to close and that footage on line has shown that a few fires were started

00:22:12.560 around clapham common park as a smoke sorry the smoke was billowing into the air and it just goes

00:22:18.420 on to reiterate the fact that all of this was once again organized by tiktok now another point to add

00:22:25.380 in all of this is the one that you made Josh which is just that all of the articles that you go

00:22:30.180 through with this it's just oh they're just youths they're just young teenagers they're just anyone

00:22:37.200 else but obviously we can see from the camera exactly what communities these people are coming

00:22:43.340 from and this really is why I started this segment by talking about all of the anti-racism propaganda

00:22:50.820 that they're been putting out because on the one hand this creates an eradicable problem

00:22:56.080 where on the one hand you are going to open the entire treasury of Europe into these sorts of

00:23:02.920 policies and basically to contain the situation and tell native people don't believe your lying

00:23:08.700 eyes but at the same time if if all of the diverse groups that you're trying to protect and you're

00:23:16.040 trying to shield european perceptions of them that only works if they actually behave themselves

00:23:24.340 i actually put together a collage that i've just sent to samson oh yes um in the image folder

00:23:31.460 samson um of all of the headlines and all of the different euphemisms if you could if you could say

00:23:38.680 that right um that they used to refer to these news um so hopefully we can pull that up samson's

00:23:46.360 on it all right got it samson um so i just went to the main yeah no i'm uh thank you for that's

00:23:52.540 all right sorry hijacking your segment here but um here we are this is um left and right um i think

00:24:01.220 we got the telegraph down the bottom there trying to recognize the font i think the top one is gb

00:24:06.400 news um but you have um they're terrorizing youths um mobs of youths um hooded youngsters

00:24:15.840 um youth mob youths overwhelm mns store yeah like come on they're all singing from the same

00:24:24.720 the same hymn sheet uh and so eventually a dispersal order was issued because they'll

00:24:31.420 listen to that uh no doubt and then i thought we'd obviously just check in with the labor mp for

00:24:38.160 clapham herself and see what she had to say about all of this given that this is her constituency

00:24:44.180 and she oh socialist feminist anti-racist ah okay did she say that this is the rational response to

00:24:54.060 the rise of the far right well if we actually look at around the things that she was tweeting

00:24:59.320 around the time that this was all going on.

00:25:01.600 We did have on International Transgender Day of Visibility.

00:25:05.640 That's a funny day of, you know, something.

00:25:10.280 Like, visibility, that's not what they struggle with.

00:25:12.940 You can always tell who's transgender. 0.98

00:25:14.680 Yeah. 0.98

00:25:15.420 In a line-up, it's the one that's hulking and big.

00:25:18.000 And also, I think I've seen enough, actually.

00:25:20.720 Thank you.

00:25:21.280 No more visibility.

00:25:21.820 Look at the engagement, and she is an MP.

00:25:24.880 Right.

00:25:25.700 Well, yes, exactly, as well.

00:25:27.680 But the point is as well is that let's not beat about the bush here. She just allows them to get away with it. She's not going to actually come down. There's going to be no efforts from the MP for Clapham to talk about going to the homes of these families, talk about their behaviour or actually fix anything.

00:25:48.200 No, it's just made permissive because actually to do something about this, to address the fact that different communities have different moral standards and that they don't respect you, they don't understand you, and they don't care for any of the things that we actually value.

00:26:06.000 Well, again, I've just come to the point that things are incompatible at this point.

00:26:11.400 And as it goes, we have suffered decades and decades of just being lectured to about how we're such morally bad people,

00:26:22.180 whilst all the time just stuff like this is just allowed to happen all the time.

00:26:27.240 And it's not just the actual riots themselves when they go on.

00:26:31.100 It's exactly as you were saying, Joshua, as well.

00:26:33.900 It's the fact that you now all of a sudden, you just live in a world where there have to be bouncers outside of a McDonald's.

00:26:40.320 It's also the fact that we now just, you have to have like anti-thieving cases for the chocolate bar.

00:26:45.780 And somehow it's your fault.

00:26:47.540 Right, and it's your fault.

00:26:48.500 That's the icing of it. 0.96

00:26:49.760 Yes, and you're racist for pointing it out.

00:26:52.840 The interesting thing is, if you look on the census map and you go to a largely majority white area, you go to the supermarket there, you see none of this.

00:27:02.460 it's funny that isn't it what a weird coincidence they've started doing this at the local morrisons

00:27:08.340 on my street and every time i've seen you know once or twice now just people

00:27:13.840 nicking things from the shop and actually it's quite strange because the morrisons itself is

00:27:18.940 staffed by uh british people and you can tell they just don't look they're just doing a bit

00:27:24.460 of shift work you know it's not a particularly good wage they already have a job that isn't

00:27:29.060 the most fulfilling type of job and I'm not trying to be pejorative about that but it's just to say

00:27:34.240 that to add on the excess and the demand of having to deal with these unruly foreign people is not 1.00

00:27:44.360 something they should have to be contending with at all and so it just makes everyone's life harder

00:27:50.200 York why does York of all places now have anti-terror bollards this is from a few years ago

00:27:56.840 But, you know, on the shambles.

00:27:59.340 Diversity barriers, yeah.

00:28:01.020 Yeah, famous.

00:28:02.720 And again...

00:28:03.700 When the barriers were erected.

00:28:05.020 Right, and as it points out, this was supposed to be temporary

00:28:07.920 and then it just became permanent.

00:28:10.100 And this is the entire trajectory of all of the anti-racist,

00:28:14.880 quote-unquote, policies to make what should be temporary

00:28:18.960 just a stepping stone to greater, more harmonious race relations, right?

00:28:24.520 no actually it's to subjugate you take away the things that you love and give them a free pass

00:28:31.140 it's a monument it's a tribute to the strength that is diversity yes yeah pretty weak weak source 1.00

00:28:39.480 but of course this doesn't apply to all foreigners does it uh we are we're not all the same there was

00:28:45.260 a at wembley there was a football match just an international friendly being fought between

00:28:49.840 England and Japan. Japan won, so well played. But I thought I'd just show you the Japanese conduct 1.00

00:28:56.500 after the game had ended.

00:29:04.980 A bit of light jazz in the background as well. I'll turn that off. But just, it's just night and day.

00:29:11.800 It's just absolute night and day. And the thing is, and the reason that I added this into it,

00:29:16.960 is that the Japanese were able to do this without any social engineering.

00:29:21.940 They didn't need any anti-racist policies.

00:29:24.140 They didn't need a Japanese Lives Matter or something

00:29:29.720 in order to become more model citizens.

00:29:32.040 No, they just innately felt that sense of honour, responsibility, stewardship,

00:29:36.920 and obviously, and their place as guests in our country,

00:29:40.700 and that they were going to treat it respectfully.

00:29:43.180 He's even got an England scarf on.

00:29:44.620 Right, yeah, patriot.

00:29:46.960 And like I say, this is all against the fact that the people in these videos, they were offered absolutely everything, and it still wasn't good enough, right?

00:29:58.500 When given the license, you know, to just remake society in their own image.

00:30:06.960 Well, with many people, the more they're given, the more they ask.

00:30:10.780 Yes.

00:30:11.040 Because it creates the habit in them to think that that's the way.

00:30:15.620 You know, if you profit from victimizing yourself and screaming how much of a victim you are, then you're given the incentive to shout louder and victimize yourself even more.

00:30:29.960 Absolutely. And so, yeah, really, just to say that anti-racist policies have just been used to have crowbarred the way into every institution.

00:30:38.720 And at the same time, they refuse to address the fact that the moral character of some communities are just entirely unassimilable with our own.

00:30:47.940 And all that we're left to do is simply notice these differences.

00:30:52.980 And we're not bad people for pointing it out.

00:30:57.100 um all right i'll go through rumble rants uh sigil stone thank you says minority communities 1.00

00:31:04.880 aren't safe in our countries they better all go home to be safe well you'd think that'd be

00:31:11.300 the logical explanation uh ryan uh hinigan says evolution of the right uh 90s racism isn't real

00:31:19.400 2010s it's happening but it's no big deal 2020s racism is a good thing actually 2030s people

00:31:25.040 freak out about racism, the real problem. Well, the thing is as well, this is what I say,

00:31:32.820 Shabana Mahmood knows that actually in their efforts to have everything, to just give the

00:31:39.100 immigrants as a client group absolutely everything, they're in a very precarious position where they

00:31:44.280 are just going to lose all of it, all of the privileges, all of the welfare, just their

00:31:50.020 their settled status in britain right all of that is going to become negotiable once a party comes

00:31:57.260 into power that actually says right but what good is this for the british people right having these

00:32:03.700 sorts of things just going on uh needlessly just because it's easter holidays um sigil stone also

00:32:11.240 says uh youngsters could be here i hate youngsters he thought um yeah and uh archidor i'll just read

00:32:20.240 says uh what is it about 13 percent of london and u.s uh demographics both around 13 percent

00:32:27.460 uh number of others but why 13 percent i don't know it's just it's meme magic is what's going on

00:32:33.580 yeah yeah it is the memes uh all right for the sake of time let's um move on i'll get to them

00:32:39.760 random a little bit later sorry so the british government is lying to you which shouldn't be

00:32:46.100 much of a shock um but lots and lots of people on the right fell for it and i'm annoyed at them

00:32:51.920 i'm disappointed i'm gonna wag my finger like a disappointed father at all of you because you

00:32:56.720 believed the home office statements which we'll be looking at in a second um talking about the

00:33:03.240 fact that they're supposedly scrapping non-crime hate incidents and that's not actually the case

00:33:08.640 in fact they're just bringing them back in a reformed and more calibrated way they're more

00:33:16.180 concerned about wasting police time with online arguments and things that are not really politically

00:33:23.980 or you know legally interesting to the state so that's really what's going on but we'll drill

00:33:30.600 into it. So a non-crime hate incident is not a criminal offence. And the incident does stay on

00:33:40.420 police records indefinitely, though, and can appear in background checks when people apply

00:33:45.480 for jobs. So it's effectively a criminal record for something that is not a crime. And a non-crime

00:33:53.480 hate incident is categorised as motivated by hostility or prejudice towards a person with

00:33:59.840 particular characteristics and so yeah it's it's inherently um intersectional i suppose

00:34:08.880 so this is the home office post that got everyone pleased and excited and acting as if this was a

00:34:15.160 victory it's not um it's actually factually incorrect so it says police time will no longer

00:34:21.220 be wasted investigating legal social media posts freeing up officers to patrol the streets and

00:34:26.040 tackle real crime i'll believe it when i see it by scrapping non-crime hate incidents we are

00:34:31.600 balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech i don't think you

00:34:36.000 care about free speech why have you introduced the online harms bill or act i suppose now over

00:34:42.980 recent years guidance has failed to keep pace with the digital age and has led to officers being

00:34:48.020 called out to people's homes over insults and routine arguments which is true new measures

00:34:53.460 announced today will introduce a new system so yes it's not that they're removing these things

00:34:59.080 there is just a new system that will prevent police from recording lawful free speech forces

00:35:04.800 will continue to ensure that reports from the public which may lead to genuine harm get the

00:35:10.160 right response and this is yes sorry sorry i didn't want to interrupt that's all right go ahead

00:35:14.980 i just want to ask why do you need a system in order to stop recording lawful free speech why

00:35:21.280 don't you just stop recording it exactly and the reason is because they're still interested in it

00:35:27.100 but they want to frame it in a way that it's a bit more PR friendly because they got a lot of

00:35:31.880 criticism they were very quick weren't they at the beginning to announce immediately the thing that

00:35:36.040 you should all be paying attention to look at this thing we're doing this thing exactly so um

00:35:41.660 there's lots of interesting things buried within this telegraph article here that i think was

00:35:46.660 published um earlier in march um it talks about the lead-up to this um abolition as they call it

00:35:54.980 of non-crime hate incidents and um she basically criticized the current model um for diverting

00:36:04.220 officers into a direct quote here policing tweets rather than the streets so it's not actually

00:36:10.780 about concerns about stifling people's ability to speak freely. It's just about efficient use

00:36:17.060 of the police's time. And I want to draw people's attention to the fact that the incentives for the

00:36:22.360 government and the police are still very much the same as they've always been. Why would Labour

00:36:27.360 not persecute their political enemies? I mean, they've been doing it for a long time. Look at

00:36:34.560 some of the quite harsh sentences people received for political statements against them.

00:36:40.780 as well as the police who are being purged, and there are still a few holdouts, but many are

00:36:45.740 being pushed out, of officers that had this old school approach of, actually, we want to catch

00:36:50.960 thieves and violent criminals. And that's what the police should be for. Instead,

00:36:56.740 they're being replaced by sort of bureaucratic university graduates who embody the ideology.

00:37:03.920 And what's effectively going on from many police officers I've spoke to, and I've done a lot of

00:37:08.220 work on this is that they're trying to get true believers in the police true woke believers that

00:37:13.920 truly believe in everything the government's trying to make them do and so even if you removed

00:37:19.860 the infrastructure entirely because you've selected for these people it's going to self-perpetuate

00:37:26.180 anyway you could have no laws on this and there would still be people thinking that it's the right

00:37:31.220 thing to do because that's who you've chose to be in the police and that's how you the institution's

00:37:36.340 culture has developed. Exactly and it's not developed that way organically it's been a very

00:37:41.400 specific political choice and the number of disillusioned police officers who otherwise had

00:37:47.280 you know very good records but were kicked out because they didn't play the political game

00:37:51.580 is quite large and it should be a worry for everyone because a lot of the time it's also

00:37:56.580 the tall men who are competent at dealing with violent people and instead they get little tiny

00:38:01.480 compliant women who were violence to break out I don't think I need their help. I've seen them on 0.94

00:38:06.040 streets it's just like it's like i'm a foot and a half i mean i really had to squint spot them but

00:38:11.340 they were there yeah tiny um but what is replacing it um according to this article um is um she says

00:38:20.020 that only a small fraction of the instance will be recorded under the most serious category of

00:38:24.720 antisocial behavior so for a start you can now get an antisocial behavior order and the like

00:38:30.900 because of posts oh did everyone in clapham get those i don't think they did no funny that um

00:38:36.700 police forces will be instructed not to record them on crime databases but only treat them as

00:38:41.940 intelligence reports so they're still keeping a record of your legal speech um but it's just not

00:38:47.700 able to be viewed publicly so in many ways is less accountable than it was before

00:38:52.780 because they keep this record as intelligence um but if they've received a report that you've been

00:39:00.680 arguing with someone online that's perfectly legal perfectly legitimate you're not even necessarily

00:39:04.600 saying anything that people would find offensive but someone's called the police and they've got

00:39:09.380 upset about it that can still stay on your your record if you will and it might not come up in a

00:39:14.840 background check but what if someone else contacts them and they say oh well we've already had a

00:39:19.760 an intelligence report on this person now there's a second one and they could both be complete

00:39:26.340 nonsense and no foundation to them whatsoever but they're thinking well if this person's repeatedly

00:39:31.840 harassing people on the internet now we've got a couple of of reports that are spurious but you

00:39:36.580 know maybe we should go and talk to them maybe we've got to instruct them maybe we've got to

00:39:40.320 take their devices off of them who knows where this sort of thing can lead and now you can't

00:39:45.740 even know in a background check whether they have this data then they can use it against you

00:39:53.660 all the more effectively. And that's a terrifying aspect of it, isn't it? It leads

00:39:58.640 wherever they want it to lead. Yeah, and if we actually look at the guidelines, this is from

00:40:04.480 the College of Policing who set the guidelines here. Here's the new approach and one thing you'll

00:40:11.460 notice is just how vague and subjective it all is. The review has found inconsistencies in the

00:40:17.980 current system recommendations under the new approach include the following um it's also

00:40:23.540 worth mentioning as well those who um this at the top before it gets to that those who experience

00:40:28.540 abuse motivated by hostility towards their race religion disability sexual orientation sex or

00:40:33.760 transgender identity should feel confident in reporting it and know it will be taken seriously

00:40:38.240 so uh yeah there's their um you know pledge of commitment to intersectionality out of the way

00:40:45.600 it says a new and more focused uh i just read that tonight every report will go through a

00:40:51.040 triage process by specially trained staff who will assess whether there is a genuine policing purpose

00:40:56.460 before any further action is taken where there is that the response is effective and appropriate to

00:41:02.780 the risk posed so there's just another layer of subjectivity and of course with the environment

00:41:09.540 in the police as it is they've already embodied a lot of these principles that are behind the

00:41:15.140 previous system in the first place. So you don't actually need it to perpetuate the same system

00:41:20.660 with this new approach. They're supposedly being more focused on the definition of an incident

00:41:27.020 and policing is only recording matters where there is a clear policing purpose.

00:41:32.880 But then again, that's quite subjective. It doesn't necessarily say a crime has been clearly

00:41:38.220 committed. It's just a clear policing purpose. But the police's remit fits over more than crime,

00:41:44.240 right you know sometimes you see police walking the streets and there's someone riding a bicycle

00:41:48.500 through the city center and they'll just say oh you're not allowed to do that that's dangerous

00:41:52.340 they don't arrest them so they're doing something beyond although they are enforcing a law they're

00:41:57.760 not necessarily treating it as if you know they're taking them away immediately which would

00:42:02.200 be a little bit harsh um and they say this will apply to all reports including those believed to

00:42:07.600 be motivated by hate or hostility and then it says that the police databases for recording crimes

00:42:13.440 will no longer be used to record incidents motivated by hate but that's not entirely true

00:42:18.820 because there's still criminal legislation on the books for that sort of thing and so maybe for

00:42:25.460 non-crimes but it's still going to be logged as intelligence so there's going to be a record

00:42:31.360 regardless even if it's not one that comes up in a background check. And I suppose non-crime

00:42:38.940 age incidents that have already been recorded and people already have it's not like they're

00:42:43.580 going to be erased they're still there in the system they've certainly not announced that

00:42:47.260 um which is interesting and it says incidents recorded will not use crime technology such as

00:42:52.180 victim and suspect well that's because it's not a criminal offense but they're still as they're

00:42:58.620 admitting recording incidents where there is no victim or suspect but they're still

00:43:05.300 as they explicitly say recording it so it's not really changing that much and then they also talk

00:43:13.480 about how there's an independent um commission that is set up to monitor how well this has been

00:43:19.700 implemented but at the same time i'm not entirely confident it's going to hold it to account

00:43:26.540 no um it's quite often set up for the government to be marking its own homework however independent

00:43:31.960 it might be. But yes, I wanted to draw attention to something that I've talked about for about

00:43:38.260 six years now, which is section 127 of the Communications Act of 2003, one of Blair's

00:43:45.200 inventions. A person is guilty of an offence if he sends by means of public electronic communication

00:43:51.200 network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene

00:43:56.700 or menacing character or causes any such message or matter to be sent so it's still on the books

00:44:05.360 it's still illegal to do these sorts of things and maybe it's going to be the case that there's

00:44:11.940 just going to be more illegal um speech crimes now because they've got rid of the non-crime hate

00:44:18.260 incidents so yes it's just ridiculous um and people have been speculating what has motivated

00:44:26.060 this. People have been talking about the fact that Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow

00:44:32.440 over his ex-posts, which I think was a non-crime hate incident because he wasn't charged with

00:44:38.780 anything, but he was questioned. And I think they were trying to take his devices and things.

00:44:44.240 And there's also the fact that the Trump administration described it as a departure

00:44:49.240 from democracy. People have pointed maybe it's pressure from Trump, but I don't necessarily

00:44:55.020 really think so. I think that there's a combination of things. It's the recalibration of police

00:44:58.880 resources to more efficiently deal with dissidents, in my opinion. And there's also the fact that the

00:45:05.920 entire philosophy of governance at the minute is determined by the fear of unrest on the scale of

00:45:13.240 Southport of 2024. And so anything that's seen as a concession to the right is actually just a move

00:45:19.300 to cool the country's temperature to stop the right being adjutants because the conditions

00:45:24.960 which created those riots have only worsened no matter who you ask across the political board

00:45:29.720 whatever the reasons for it were nothing's got better in that respect and they know this

00:45:35.540 they know the temperature in the country is high and so maybe throwing out a little bit of red

00:45:40.400 meat here and there could potentially cool the temperature because there's lots of suggestions

00:45:45.900 to say that they're getting lots of consultation,

00:45:48.980 the Labour government, from the intelligence services

00:45:51.340 and instructions on how to deal with it

00:45:53.240 because a lot of their actions map on to their approach in intelligence.

00:45:59.300 But isn't that a remarkable admission by them

00:46:03.080 that actually the way to cool tensions

00:46:05.680 is to implement policies that cater to the right

00:46:09.320 and not the left?

00:46:10.520 They're just openly saying, no, if we're going to calm the country,

00:46:13.560 we actually need to implement some of the things that the right wing

00:46:17.040 are campaigning for and um just in case you're not skeptical enough it's worth mentioning that

00:46:25.400 in april of 2021 um priti patel ordered the police to stop recording hate incidents that

00:46:31.960 are not crimes and so hang on a minute how in 2026 are they also scrapping them um and she

00:46:39.480 even said wipe non-crime hate allegations um didn't happen and then in 2023 um swella braverman

00:46:47.920 gave new guidance for non-crime hate incidents but didn't get rid of them just reformed them

00:46:54.720 um and in fact um right the code introduced an additional threshold test that clarifies that

00:47:00.900 personal data should only be included in a non-crime hate incident record if the event

00:47:06.100 presented a real risk of either significant harm to individuals or groups with a particular

00:47:10.820 characteristic or characteristics a future criminal offense being committed against

00:47:15.180 individuals or groups with a particular characteristic or characteristics so basically

00:47:20.000 um that was here by the way so basically it's up to the discretion of the police

00:47:24.340 you know do we think this person is going to be a problem um well in the woke policing thing if

00:47:30.200 you say anything right-wing that could lead to um you know offense to people with particular

00:47:36.660 characteristics or a future crime in their mind so it didn't do anything um that's why people are

00:47:43.780 still angry about them and i i think that this reformed version is going to be quite similar to

00:47:48.960 this sort of thing where it's supposedly um solving it but in only in name and in fact the

00:47:56.660 laws are pretty much still on the books they're still able to do this sort of thing there's just

00:48:01.220 less accountability because you can't actually see it it's just an intelligence record that could

00:48:07.200 potentially lead to criminal prosecutions anyway even though you haven't committed a crime so the

00:48:13.560 idea that they've been scrapped and you know you're all fine and dandy you can post what you want on

00:48:18.020 social media no that's not true and as they they grab more and more i suppose at the police force

00:48:24.700 itself and you know just plant their little intersectional acolytes inside it of course 1.00

00:48:30.500 it doesn't matter how much you try to manage the perception of you know um the legislation around

00:48:36.700 this or what powers you have to enforce it you're basically putting in with hawks you know people

00:48:42.160 who are going to be going out of their way to look for cases of it wherever they possibly can

00:48:48.520 because they know that the system is for them

00:48:51.240 and against the people that obviously have problems

00:48:55.880 with their perception, I suppose the state would frame it as.

00:48:59.940 Very much so.

00:49:01.340 Perceptually challenged.

00:49:02.580 Yeah, who are perceptually challenged, yeah.

00:49:06.080 Quite right, Mr. White.

00:49:08.320 Josh, if you check the anti-Muslim hatred guidance,

00:49:10.860 you'll see the guidance there insists upon incidents being recorded,

00:49:15.040 the NCHI going underground.

00:49:17.880 Yes.

00:49:18.520 I'm very frustrated. Not a single person on the British right pointed out all the things I did.

00:49:24.320 And I was a little bit disappointed. I thought we were better than this.

00:49:27.320 Just taking things at face value. But alas.

00:49:29.740 Thank you for your service.

00:49:30.980 You're welcome.

00:49:32.380 That's a random name. I'm not actually sure if I can read that one, but it's funny. I get it.

00:49:38.500 Josh, I just wanted to respond to what you said before.

00:49:42.160 The way to deal with that is the conditional.

00:49:45.920 say if this is the case then that's a good thing what does samson i read it okay

00:49:53.700 no no no it's all right samson okay okay all right over to you sir right so there's the

00:50:02.740 lotus eaters live event when is it 11th of april it's uh the worst day if you're an orthodox and 0.92

00:50:11.160 you want to go to church but it's the saturday the 11th of april 7 to 10 o'clock you may not go

00:50:20.260 to church but you can come to our mecca in mecca swindon yeah we've converted this is not april

00:50:26.060 falls right so yeah the door is open at six for the vip the very important people but also everyone's

00:50:34.880 very important because this is the lotus seaters family and everyone's important standard doors

00:50:41.240 open at 6 30 everyone is important it's just no everyone now i'm more george orwell

00:50:48.420 yeah yeah i'm actually the worst advertiser of all time right okay we are going to talk about

00:50:58.160 one of the most ridiculous political conventions of all time the bar is high but the ndp's 1.00

00:51:05.320 convention the national democrat the the new democratic party's convention in winnipeg in 0.72

00:51:12.600 manitoba in canada has crossed that bar and it's definitely in dream tier okay when it comes to the

00:51:19.800 most ridiculous uh convention of all time up there with like you know when corbyn had a hold of labor

00:51:26.760 and like the your party conferences yes yeah it's i would say though perhaps my my dream 0.85

00:51:33.120 yeah ridiculous conference is the one with alexandro in in germany but we will get to there

00:51:40.040 i think that this convention scores really high there let me give you some context the

00:51:46.120 the previous canadian elections on a federal level were were held last year and this party here

00:51:53.600 called the new democratic party led by jagmed singh this is a very flattering picture here

00:52:01.860 he has nice teeth there he looks like a villain in an indiana jones film here doesn't he

00:52:08.040 yeah he's bearing his teeth i wouldn't know who his dentist is this party got decimated

00:52:15.720 And from 25 seats, they moved to seven seats.

00:52:22.240 No, they, yeah, from 24 seats, they got seven seats.

00:52:27.180 So they lost 17 seats.

00:52:29.140 From 17.82%, they went to 6.3%.

00:52:33.300 So they got decimated.

00:52:35.660 And when you suffer such a loss, a loss of such an extent,

00:52:41.160 you need to have some good discussion about the next day,

00:52:43.960 about the brave future and there's no better way to have this discussion exactly by hosting

00:52:51.740 than a convention so you need a political convention to decide how you're going to move

00:52:57.420 in the future and that is what they did and they chose a new leader this is avi lewis who won the

00:53:04.860 ndp leadership race in a decisive first ballot victory so it was there was no contest popular

00:53:12.780 guy then yeah he's a popular guy he won four out of seven votes there a seven 56 roughly there he

00:53:21.740 won the leadership of the party from jagmed singh who won it in 2017 and let me just give you some

00:53:31.700 of the juicy details here lewis now has the difficult task of rebuilding a party at a historic

00:53:40.780 low with just six MPs plus himself because they have seven seats, weak polling and about

00:53:47.020 13 million Canadian dollars of debt. I suppose that's Canadian dollars.

00:53:52.340 For the party?

00:53:53.340 Yes.

00:53:54.340 Right.

00:53:55.340 Nothing bodes well as a government in waiting as having debt in your own political party.

00:54:03.840 So they want to reframe their party and say that they are for the Canadian working class.

00:54:12.260 That's why they've got the Palestine flag.

00:54:14.120 Exactly.

00:54:14.840 And that's why they have the Canadian flag over there.

00:54:18.900 Actually, no, I don't see any Canadian flag.

00:54:22.320 Where is it?

00:54:22.980 It's a little leaf in the zero of 2026.

00:54:26.120 Oh, that's nice, isn't it?

00:54:27.200 Yeah, Canada proud.

00:54:30.300 Yeah, but they have the flag of Palestine.

00:54:33.240 It's so just obligatory, though, isn't it?

00:54:35.540 It's like, oh, we'll put the maple leaf in,

00:54:37.220 because we've just got to put the maple leaf in.

00:54:39.720 The issue is you would expect this from leftists,

00:54:42.220 but they want to portray themselves as working class.

00:54:47.120 So I'm going to show you how they think

00:54:49.320 they're going to approach the working class.

00:54:50.940 Okay, great.

00:54:51.780 They're going to be dressed like Canadian lumberjacks, perhaps?

00:54:55.040 I don't know.

00:54:55.300 Do you have any idea how they're going to go about it?

00:54:58.540 Are they going to be weird and cringe?

00:55:00.840 Josh, I don't think you're allowed to use this language

00:55:07.700 In fact, I think you misgendered me

00:55:10.680 I'm sorry, miss, sir

00:55:13.940 I'm not miss, sir

00:55:15.220 Miss, sir

00:55:16.240 I'm they, them

00:55:17.740 I'm sorry, it

00:55:19.640 It's not it

00:55:21.320 I'm not Pennywise, a dancing clown

00:55:23.140 Okay

00:55:24.320 So they invented the equity card system

00:55:30.500 Why? Because they understand that when you have an assembly, when you try to rule by assembly, you can actually get a bit disorientated with the Tower of Babel situation.

00:55:44.380 So you have to devise a system, a process that is going to mitigate that.

00:55:49.140 because you know everyone has their opinions everyone wants to speak everyone has things to

00:55:54.620 say and you need a good process that actually imposes force chaos no actually imposes order

00:56:02.180 on the chaos of the multitude of voices and that is what they did so they had actually a very

00:56:09.560 rational idea from within the world perspective right which was very inventive of them that was

00:56:14.960 really nice it actually made for comedy gold so they invented that card in order the the equity

00:56:21.780 card and they gave it to people who had points of privilege and they got points of privilege in

00:56:28.600 order to determine who is going to speak first so the more press you are the more you're getting

00:56:35.480 fast track they're over complicating this they should have just passed around you know like in

00:56:39.000 breaking bad where they just pass around the talking pillow they should have just done it

00:56:43.040 like that i like how the conference starts waiting for the disabled lesbian muslim

00:56:49.420 many such cases in this conference still is can you do me a favor as well just scroll back up to

00:56:56.240 the top of the article that one thing i just wanted to say as well about this is just i mean

00:57:00.680 i don't want to say just look at them but like just look at them and and the thing about this

00:57:05.520 fair but the thing about this as well is that surely when especially when you're campaigning

00:57:10.200 And, you know, to campaign, you're trying to inspire a certain level of trust in the voter that, like, on some level, you have yourself together.

00:57:18.260 I am looking at them, comrade. What are you seeing wrong?

00:57:22.400 I'm just merely suggesting.

00:57:24.020 You want a non-crime hate incident that is recorded but also isn't?

00:57:28.220 What, next to my other 70?

00:57:31.000 No, I was just going to say, but, like, surely there comes a point where it's like, look, if they're going to respect me, like, and vote for me,

00:57:39.240 shouldn't isn't there a part of your brain that says surely i should at least look i present like

00:57:45.660 i respect myself but you would think you would think they they do respect themselves okay well

00:57:53.760 i don't respect them next in the next convention i'm gonna take you there you're gonna witness it

00:58:00.700 you're gonna take me to Canada and rejoice right okay let's see here what the purpose was

00:58:06.840 The event was billed as an opportunity for progressive Canadians to come together, don't get any ideas, to debate ideas, celebrate our shared values and help shape the future of our movement, the NDP convention website said.

00:58:22.800 but footage from the event revealed frustration among delegates over the alleged misuse of so

00:58:28.800 called equity cards colored coded cards that identified a party member as being part of a

00:58:34.820 marginalized group that granted them special privileges there's a beautiful irony there isn't 0.91

00:58:40.680 there yeah doing it all by core and this is the chair do not misgender the chair i make no such

00:58:48.720 promises the chair isn't inanimate okay uh the chair is not avi lewis that's the leader of it's

00:58:58.600 adrian smith a vancouver lawyer who is here on a video saying why people should use appropriate

00:59:05.500 pronouns and they're saying that it is the law they need to find fight against transphobia which

00:59:13.560 is a pattern of negative conduct towards trans people and they also have the autonomy to choose

00:59:19.580 their own gender and you should ask people their pronouns this is important to bear in mind

00:59:26.160 because it featured in on the in the conference you'll see just sort of the fact that there was

00:59:33.600 nothing if only there was some recent event you know in this century with between canada and

00:59:39.540 questions of transphobia that just so happened to create one of the most like world-renowned

00:59:46.580 intellectual superstars like of all time and that just like has not hit them at all that actually

00:59:52.640 their attempts to do all of this created one of the most like vicious backlashes we're just saying

00:59:59.740 it was one of the first issues where they actually drew a line and was like no you're not having this

01:00:04.000 sod off so now i want you to sit back relax and enjoy and if this tortures you i have zero remorse

01:00:11.600 actually i'll find it funny right it's so much more comfortable yeah let's go to i want to go

01:00:17.060 to on the to the 40 probably not good seconds yeah because i want you to see what's being said

01:00:23.700 she her my pronouns are she her l and on francais it's gonna be really hard to follow rob ashton

01:00:33.000 amazing speaker um we are a working class party i think most of us in this room are behind that

01:00:40.400 and while we can debate on the specific words and who is and isn't included i think our constitution

01:00:44.820 needs to recognize that and i also recognize there is i'm sorry i'm speaking way too fast

01:00:49.080 let me slow down for the closed captioning i'm so sorry get excited um

01:00:53.580 This is working class aesthetic. It's like a KKK wizard outfit. 1.00

01:01:02.580 I was going to say, why is this goth ghost at a conference? 1.00

01:01:07.800 But it's so nice when they think that this is how you get the message across to the working

01:01:14.860 class. This is how you...

01:01:16.860 You communicate with the working class by being a freak, because the working classes 1.00

01:01:21.280 are famous for entertaining people with differences said no one ever yeah i just thought it's like

01:01:26.320 excuse me mr working class person it's like what do you want it's like well it'd be great if we

01:01:30.620 could just you know stop immigration for a bit on second thought let us tell you what you need

01:01:36.080 not not what you want we will tell you what's good for you right so this was a convention for

01:01:41.540 them to choose the new leader yes and as you understand these are passionate people and

01:01:45.880 passions were high so at some point someone's had a criticism of the previous leader oh yeah and all

01:01:54.400 hell broke loose let us enjoy this let us this is the previous wait wait wait wait wait i don't want

01:02:01.500 any copyright issues here this is the previous leader there's a song playing on the background

01:02:06.480 you see him here you know living living it is is joining the rhythm why are they are they

01:02:15.580 cheering for him i assume they're cheering for him yes no he just was doing that with booing

01:02:20.140 yeah but now someone i mean it's a way of saying thank you to people who have supported you

01:02:28.720 over the years i think it's a nice and wholesome but not everyone saw it that way in fact there

01:02:34.620 were several several people in that conference who didn't like that is nicholas torno i come

01:02:40.160 from kingston in the islands my pronouns are he they and i have a question about the video we just

01:02:45.240 watched the tribute to Jagmeet Singh. I want to know how much money it cost. I want to know how

01:02:50.220 much time it wasted out of the convention. And I want to know who decided on it. Rising on a personal

01:02:57.840 point of privilege, that comment that was just made is absolutely unacceptable. I'm in my house

01:03:04.540 of party where I belong as a racialized person. And we paid a tribute that is incredibly fitting

01:03:12.800 for an incredible leader.

01:03:15.100 And that comment is so, so harmful in this space.

01:03:22.460 I think the people that are here that are racialized, 0.94

01:03:26.020 that are people that have not ever been seen before,

01:03:29.140 deserve the space.

01:03:30.640 And our leader that looked like us

01:03:33.280 and changed the politics for us,

01:03:35.240 as New Democrats, as Canadians, as Ontarians,

01:03:38.120 as people from all across this world,

01:03:39.800 as people that have survived genocide, 0.89

01:03:41.860 deserve goddamn respect in this house what genocide have canadians thank you so that's 0.94

01:03:48.880 one question also um this is also the leader that got the party decimated so yeah you would 0.98

01:03:55.600 think that there would be some criticism in a conference of that leader especially when it was

01:04:02.100 a conference a conference a convention to decide the leader can we go to some nails on a chalkboard

01:04:07.920 for a palate cleanser you know um yes that that's what you're gonna watch now no no no go on no no

01:04:14.300 please say what you want no it's just in my head i'll give you the the equity card thank you can

01:04:19.620 speak thank you no it's just uh i've just got the voltaire quote just rattling around in my head you

01:04:24.720 know about him praying to to make his enemies ridiculous and god answering yeah but it's

01:04:30.760 annoying because our enemies keep on winning and they're ridiculous yeah worse even more humiliating 0.98

01:04:35.600 I want to warn you in advance, do not laugh. 0.96

01:04:39.840 Try to contain your laughter and please respect the person who is going to speak

01:04:43.020 because they are faced with an existential threat

01:04:46.600 and their rights are directly assaulted.

01:04:49.620 So please, in this case, I want you to be a bit prepared

01:04:54.640 because I'm a good colleague and I don't want you to...

01:04:57.940 I see that we are one minute ahead of schedule

01:05:01.260 and so I'm going to get out of here.

01:05:03.160 the balloting co-chairs are returning i believe now balloting co-chairs there is a point let's

01:05:11.820 hear the point on microphone one i'm sorry just real quick point of personal privilege i understand

01:05:18.900 there's very little time and uh for for delegates to speak but early on the mic i it's hard as a

01:05:26.160 racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and and speak up speak to somebody

01:05:31.520 in front of me in line and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of

01:05:36.160 my lived experience, I'd like to speak, I was rejected when I talked, and it's frustrating

01:05:42.200 when these are my rights being directly under attack right now in Alberta, and that a cisgender 0.90

01:05:48.220 woman had spoken over me, and I understand her rights are important too, this pertains 0.98

01:05:55.120 to her too, but I don't know, I hope that in the future the federal NDP will also have

01:06:01.480 a broader interpretation i find this sorry it's basically satire isn't it like if if i were to

01:06:08.020 satirize this sort of ideology i'd just do that yeah yeah i i can't understand if they're trolling

01:06:16.040 or not because what is funny here and i find actually hilarious is that if you create a system

01:06:23.260 where you're rewarding victimhood you're incentivizing people to scream how vic how much

01:06:30.500 of a victim they are and if you're subjectivizing the criteria or who counts as a victim all you're

01:06:38.120 going to have there is people screen competing who is more of a victim you're creating a culture of 0.98

01:06:43.880 whiny bitches is what you're doing yeah the entire conference was just them whinging about how 1.00

01:06:49.660 oppressed they were it's just like yeah any sane person doesn't want you anywhere near power 1.00

01:06:54.560 because you're like i'm so powerless i'm so weak yeah cisgendered woman spoke before me so i'm 0.51

01:07:00.100 under attack i may i may invoke the the schmidtian case of exception here i mean he should not feel

01:07:09.140 threatened by women but i mean he is the threat right now but one thing you always respect the

01:07:16.380 share let's look at that microphone two are you on this resolution yes my name is mastur

01:07:25.940 my pronouns are she they i'm from ontario hello bonjour as we conduct this convention today and

01:07:35.860 the past two days right now there's discussions of 10 000 american men and women being sent

01:07:42.500 to Iran being deployed

01:07:44.520 just to be part of

01:07:46.780 this bloodbath.

01:07:48.760 Canada cannot

01:07:50.200 and will not be part

01:07:52.560 of the legacy of blood

01:07:54.360 that was built in Iraq,

01:07:56.720 in Palestine, and now in Iran.

01:07:59.520 This is a no-question

01:08:01.100 debate. I call

01:08:02.760 this question, Adam and

01:08:04.720 chairs. Thank you.

01:08:06.740 Good news for you. You're not involved in any way.

01:08:10.860 Your point's quite...

01:08:11.960 Well-made speaker, I'll again thank delegates not to call me Madam Chair or Madame la Présidence.

01:08:18.620 I'm a non-binary person.

01:08:19.740 My pronouns are they, them, and their.

01:08:21.180 Chair is sufficient.

01:08:23.140 Go there and make it about you.

01:08:26.660 I love how that gets a standing ovation.

01:08:29.200 With regret you've spoken to the resolution, it's not open to you to also call the question.

01:08:33.280 If the question is the will of the House, someone else must call it because we heard from you in substantive debate.

01:08:39.460 It's like, you know, just know your place.

01:08:41.960 right there's that convention you don't decide what the convention is but also that's hilarious

01:08:47.140 because you'd expect you'd expect this from a leftist but also it's so hilarious that again

01:08:52.420 it's like no don't misgender me but like she looks like someone who's just perpetually terrified

01:08:59.200 of the people in their own party right as well it's that thing it's like if you're in a position

01:09:03.760 where you're constantly treading on eggshells because you know that like everyone in your

01:09:07.700 party is so volatile so thin-skinned that you say one word and it's just going to invite total like

01:09:15.020 you know but that's the thing is that you have people who who don't claim to be oppressed and

01:09:20.360 you're actually oppressing them why because it's their time to speak and then someone remembers

01:09:26.040 that they're oppressed someone changed gender three minutes ago and say hey i have a point of

01:09:30.700 privilege i have need to be fast-tracked absolutely ridiculous and there's the process mayhem here

01:09:37.340 that it's so fun because they constantly talk about the process.

01:09:41.200 It's like almost...

01:09:41.760 The process is a punishment.

01:09:43.380 Yeah, but it's almost...

01:09:45.000 They never talk about issues.

01:09:47.240 Almost never.

01:09:48.120 It's 99.9%.

01:09:49.920 It's always process talk.

01:09:52.640 They've not said anything about tax policy yet.

01:09:56.500 There's a point of privilege on microphone one,

01:09:59.160 then we'll go to microphone three.

01:10:00.400 You have to speak now.

01:10:02.140 Yes.

01:10:02.600 Hello.

01:10:03.060 I was standing here with my gender equity card

01:10:05.480 before you called on the previous speaker.

01:10:07.340 That's my point of privilege that I would like to raise.

01:10:09.480 I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed, that I cannot amend, which is the pro-con rotation.

01:10:15.260 You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in.

01:10:17.920 I am pro, and I was...

01:10:20.280 We went...

01:10:21.600 You went pro, con, pro.

01:10:23.720 We went pro-con, pro, and my plan was to go con.

01:10:27.320 The speaker at Con Mic 3 also has a speaking card.

01:10:31.020 Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate matter.

01:10:35.620 and while i understand in ontario we know this is equity even if that this was also used

01:10:42.200 inappropriate in terms of gender i want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals

01:10:48.260 like myself who identify as a black woman have no value outside of this space obviously that's 0.99

01:10:56.620 why they were designed you idiot i like the fact i hate that i'm defending the system now but 1.00

01:11:02.280 they've got you josh they've got damn it 1.00

01:11:05.000 it's just levels and levels of stupidity i can't can't even fathom it and you would expect them to 1.00

01:11:15.460 learn from this what do you think the morale of the story was according to them not like cards 1.00

01:11:22.500 the voters are the problem oh you're talking about election strategy for next time are you

01:11:27.980 talking about let's i am not opposed to this resolution i um i wanted to take the opportunity

01:11:34.440 to um uh adjust the equity card systems which i understand is a rule that's already adopted

01:11:41.480 but given that we're dealing with human rights and canadian identity it seemed like appropriate

01:11:45.540 time so i apologize for interrupting uh this resolution i have suggested wording for for

01:11:50.680 the equity card uh system if we can hear that okay so instead of saying guys we can't speak

01:11:58.220 we have caused mayhem and we can't talk to each other they say no we need more of that

01:12:05.200 yeah also as well something because it just so happened to have been the least insane thing

01:12:12.460 that i've seen from the conference so far people just still wearing face masks

01:12:17.220 in the audience as well well there was more of that and there were people talking about hearing

01:12:24.160 impair hearing impairments though it's it was just uh i mean i'd love to be hearing impaired

01:12:29.340 at that conference to be honest it sounds like a privilege that you know what i think and i'm

01:12:34.260 pretty sure it's also a privilege you're not missing anything you're not our eyes that they

01:12:39.080 were wearing face masks as well but what i find really poetic here is that this is poetic justice

01:12:44.420 is that they have completely destroyed their party

01:12:48.220 because they flirted with it, with this whole idea.

01:12:51.800 And at some point you need to be decisive

01:12:54.720 and you also need to understand

01:12:57.300 that you aren't the only person on this planet

01:13:01.080 and there are other people

01:13:02.780 and rewarding victimhood and self-victimization

01:13:07.780 isn't the way to go forward.

01:13:09.180 But what is absolutely,

01:13:10.840 apart from this being poetic justice,

01:13:12.560 there is still something also a bit nightmarish, is that the government of Canada right now

01:13:17.680 is also really prone to accepting this. This is another party that they came forth,

01:13:24.400 but the government of Canada is also very, in that sense, liberal.

01:13:30.420 Yeah, well, and Mark Carney came in, didn't he, and just sort of like won a surprise victory

01:13:35.100 off the back of a lot of Trump's buster about annexing Canada.

01:13:40.300 And in that case, Pierre Paulie was ahead and he was seen when Trump made that statement, he was seen as the sort of Trump's guy within Canada.

01:13:51.780 And that definitely gave a boost to Mark Carney.

01:13:54.820 And I don't think that Mark Carney right now is good in governing Canada if her perspective is what?

01:14:02.780 I've heard some rumblings that he's been quietly deporting people.

01:14:06.260 I'm not sure how true that is.

01:14:07.260 I haven't looked into it.

01:14:08.220 but who knows he could be due to do it a bit louder stealthily just clearing them out just

01:14:14.280 like look at those those competitors let's just get rid of them shall we i doubt this and i would

01:14:20.340 be surprised i doubt it would be interesting to find out who said it and where they based that

01:14:25.160 upon but we don't have to do that now no right so i think basically this is just absolutely

01:14:32.180 ridiculous it is poetic justice that you know they just can't talk to each other but also it's

01:14:38.840 incredibly um dangerous because they are a party and they have seats in the canadian parliament 0.78

01:14:48.380 and their philosophy isn't that different from the party that rules canada and it looks like

01:14:54.580 canada is gonna have rough years ahead of it

01:14:57.800 a bunch of rumble rants there stelios right sigil

01:15:06.120 yeah sigil stone 17 says they are the personification of the stone toss comic

01:15:12.980 of the commie staring at the blue collar worker in disgust for daring to try to shake hands

01:15:19.060 a cruel that's so nice says luca is right to point out that it is remarkable when the left

01:15:27.580 deviates from the normal from their normal ideology as the solution to a problem that

01:15:33.220 they likely created well cause the problem then pose yourself as the only solution to it yeah

01:15:38.760 fictagious they eat themselves and each other with this victim nonsense absolutely

01:15:45.420 also they destroy themselves psychologically this is one of the things i find very pernicious

01:15:51.920 in it and this is the first day one in academia i had a massive row with someone there

01:15:57.880 was a student syndicalist from the from the staff you can understand how much

01:16:04.280 uh how popular i was there and how i became friends i said dude you are actually contributing

01:16:10.560 to a to a situation where they are you know however however many material resources you

01:16:17.800 give to them you keep them perennially psychologically non-liberated well this is the

01:16:24.340 problem the victimhood is a mindset and of course you know there are certain things where you can

01:16:29.700 argue that someone is is almost certainly a victim like if someone just runs up to you and

01:16:34.800 punches you in the face and runs away it's hard to to argue that they're not a victim whereas

01:16:39.460 Whereas if you just exist in society and you don't get the treatment that you feel like you deserve, that doesn't necessarily make you a victim.

01:16:47.180 But the mindset itself keeps you that way because of how it affects your psychology.

01:16:53.880 The best way to motivate yourself, and I realized this when I was a teenager, is I know the world is against me, but I've just got to be that much better to deal with it.

01:17:04.440 Yeah. And processes do matter. And here is where these people frequently focus on the goal. And they think that you can give incentives to people to victimize themselves for their whole lives. But if are pretending that this is just suddenly going to go away, this habitation to the victimhood culture is going to go away if you mysteriously meet a threshold of material resources, which just isn't going to happen.

01:17:34.440 I mean, look at Hollywood, for example, just sorry to interrupt you, to, you know, you have people in Hollywood, very wealthy, multimillionaires, very comfortable lives, and they love to whinge. It never goes away. And it's like, you know, I've been passed up because I'm a person of color, says multimillionaire actor.

01:17:52.800 okay base tape says put all these people in prison third degree felony yapping

01:17:59.380 yeah this is a crime hate incident by them not by base tape sigil stone 17 says literal victim

01:18:07.680 cards and even at their own convention the cards are being declined for lack of credit

01:18:12.340 that's a bank did make me laugh that they were all focused on just disputing the cards themselves

01:18:19.520 rather than actually being productive.

01:18:22.860 Like all the points of order, 0.99

01:18:24.380 just like, these cards suck. 0.58

01:18:26.380 It's like, yeah, this is your ideology in practice. 0.99

01:18:28.760 Also, how much work and money

01:18:30.800 went into making that video

01:18:32.360 glazing the last defeated head of the party?

01:18:36.520 It's like, we're not talking about that.

01:18:39.640 All right, video comments, I guess, Samson.

01:18:42.240 My mum loves a good period drama

01:18:43.980 and the news that The Other Bennett sister

01:18:45.860 was to be aired on the BBC was a delight for her.

01:18:48.780 It's a tawdry and petulant imagining of a possible side story to Pride and Prejudice.

01:18:53.120 Miss Bennet is a radical thinker. 1.00

01:18:55.420 I'm no fan of Austen's work after visiting the museum to her in Alton

01:18:58.900 and seeing the cattiness on display in her correspondence.

01:19:02.000 Nevertheless, the series will be popular for an audience starved of good dramas,

01:19:05.840 with one written to target feelings rather than material.

01:19:09.040 It can't help push the worst possible advice.

01:19:11.400 The most important thing is to be yourself.

01:19:14.180 wait a minute there's i i've seen one notable thing about this drama just one

01:19:21.140 yeah it is that they're all white uh i thought i saw one who no oh you know what do you notice

01:19:30.700 yeah what do you know no i is circling that gentleman is i uh saw a few extras as well

01:19:38.680 okay can't leave it alone but uh i wasn't observing it it's a shame as well because

01:19:43.300 The BBC genuinely did used to make such good dramas

01:19:47.260 and good adaptations of work.

01:19:49.220 I mean, in particular as well,

01:19:50.460 all of their adaptations of Shakespeare from the 70s and 80s

01:19:54.460 are absolutely brilliant.

01:19:56.660 And yet now it's just gone to the dogs.

01:20:02.660 Another weekend gone and another Victorian mill gone in League.

01:20:08.060 Probably would have made some nice flats,

01:20:10.200 shopping space, office space, something like that.

01:20:12.640 But faffing around with planning permission, probably, heritage, all that,

01:20:17.860 and then it just spontaneously combusts.

01:20:20.800 So I'll see you at the live event and go and support my local pottery.

01:20:27.240 Nice.

01:20:28.440 I'm very happy that I put out that post about Denby and everyone picked it up.

01:20:33.300 Yeah, yeah, no, good. I saw it too.

01:20:35.160 I actually think I'll make a daily about it to try and increase awareness as well

01:20:40.360 because I had a ton of inspiration.

01:20:42.360 No one died or was harmed.

01:20:45.460 I don't think so.

01:20:46.480 I think it's probably an insurance job, wasn't it?

01:20:49.660 These fires, mysteriously, you can't find a purpose for the building

01:20:52.760 and it catches fire.

01:20:54.620 Keeps on happening.

01:20:56.520 That's all of them, is it, Samson?

01:20:58.780 I believe so.

01:21:00.000 All right, great.

01:21:00.940 Plenty of time for comments.

01:21:02.680 I'll start going through.

01:21:03.940 Look at that.

01:21:04.540 A whole nine minutes of comments.

01:21:05.820 You're all spoiled, aren't you? 0.83

01:21:07.800 I'm getting the hang of this timekeeping business

01:21:10.020 after doing this for nearly a year.

01:21:12.360 Dirty Builder says, people see the contrast.

01:21:16.180 Black line on white paper can only be seen because of its contrast to its surroundings.

01:21:20.860 If you want racism to go away, you need the creation of avert borders.

01:21:27.840 And if all those groups involved had their homeland that they could retreat to in order to get away from it,

01:21:32.620 then they'd become homesick.

01:21:34.160 Yeah, I've had to paraphrase a few things on there, Bill, so you'll understand.

01:21:37.500 The elephant in the room here is that the only reason anyone is here is for our economy.

01:21:44.120 Given the choice, everyone would choose their own culture over someone else's.

01:21:49.100 Barring one or two fringe people, perhaps, that have a genuine admiration for Britain.

01:21:55.420 But that's not the majority of people who come here.

01:21:58.440 It's coming here for opportunity, right?

01:22:01.720 And I'm not necessarily having a go at other Europeans. 0.84

01:22:04.300 I think that we've always had some degree of mobility, mainly talking about the third world and immigration outside of the West.

01:22:14.060 Dreadnought Logan says, an alliance of hate is something so fragile, a Star Wars quote, is it?

01:22:21.400 Well, it's true nonetheless.

01:22:23.540 Michael de Belba says, no city is ever a utopia.

01:22:26.780 But when you go from people who share a common history, culture, language, et cetera, cities turn into dystopia.

01:22:32.580 Yeah, and the remarkable thing about all of this is that, you know, it's not like the elites never shut up about dystopias, right?

01:22:41.700 Everyone's very quick to invoke 1984 or invoke this thing or, you know, just all these things that were the worst type of societies.

01:22:50.220 And in their quest to avoid all of these fictional dystopias, they've just walked us right into a very real one of their own creation.

01:23:00.020 I mean, many dystopian fictions and pieces of media

01:23:03.920 now look better than the actual reality.

01:23:07.660 I saw someone talking about the game Mirror's Edge.

01:23:10.880 And actually, I'd rather live in that world than this one,

01:23:13.240 even though it's meant to be a dystopia.

01:23:15.240 It's like clean streets, but a surveillance state.

01:23:18.140 You're actually safe, but the government watches you.

01:23:20.580 I mean, at this rate, at least...

01:23:23.240 I don't want the government to be watching me.

01:23:25.040 I don't want the government to be watching me either.

01:23:26.500 You're supposed to be a libertarian.

01:23:27.100 yeah well i'd rather be i'd rather have a bit of security in that i don't want to be stabbed to

01:23:32.640 death by somali in the street than you know they can read my boring emails even i don't want to do

01:23:38.220 that um henry ashton says seems like shabana mamood is essentially saying now i'm a bigger

01:23:44.100 public figure more people are being mean to me must be racism is getting worse now that i have

01:23:49.280 a bigger profile what is it okay nothing it's i'll tell you okay um no i i i mean that could

01:23:58.400 be definitely part of it but i do agree as well that i mean i i think we can all concur that there

01:24:04.020 has been um for want of a better way to put it an emboldening of rhetoric um yeah anti-foreign

01:24:11.300 rhetoric you know over the years as well people are uh far less compromising than they were on

01:24:17.100 these issues even 10 years ago and people that um you know thought themselves just you know good

01:24:25.980 members of society were willing to go along with what the state was saying uh you know finding a

01:24:31.160 more and more and rebellion against it so i have perhaps not the most serious point but it has just

01:24:36.740 occurred to me that most of the women on the labor front bench have the same haircut don't they 1.00

01:24:41.520 like that shiny black bob shabana mahmoud has it um rachel reeves has it and is it bridget 0.90

01:24:47.480 phillips oh yeah phillip bridges and brick yes i think the lady who's the head of the health

01:24:55.000 service right um yeah they've all got the same haircut it just clicked in my mind for some

01:24:59.820 reason i don't know why i was thinking about that while i was listening to you it's a bit of a weird

01:25:02.980 thing to think i don't have one i've not reminded you of it i'm imagining it right now please don't

01:25:08.320 I see you have a little bob.

01:25:09.580 No, don't do that.

01:25:10.700 Go through some of your comments instead.

01:25:13.160 All right, all right.

01:25:15.300 AZ Deserat says,

01:25:16.680 if the free speech is legal and in a public space,

01:25:19.480 what's wrong with it being recorded?

01:25:23.380 What's wrong is that they would use legal speech

01:25:26.540 to build a criminal case, is what I was arguing,

01:25:28.780 because if they are recording it,

01:25:31.480 they see it as relevant to potential future crimes, right?

01:25:35.680 And so if they're recording anything,

01:25:38.320 that is legal um then it's being used against you um for criminal prosecution so that's not good

01:25:47.260 legal speech this is not the kind of attentive state that we want no michael says and given the 0.95

01:25:54.800 incredible laziness of modern police he'll prioritize sitting on their arses and trolling

01:25:59.920 social media and trolling through social media maybe trolling social media over actually going 0.92

01:26:05.220 out um walking a patrol and i don't know stopping crime yes like burglary and things like that

01:26:12.060 hardly ever gets caught all of the money laundering shops on our high streets they're trying to work

01:26:19.100 for it but there's just too much of it even sanford's struggling i know terrible uh tppt

01:26:26.720 says uh the moment they declare um the new system with non-crime posts will be um and automate it

01:26:34.840 with LLMs, endlessly collecting info on you and creating a case to get you on with no oversight.

01:26:41.600 Yeah, I'm very worried about the application of LLMs to the internet and speech more generally

01:26:48.360 because they have the capacity to monitor everything, right, that goes on in Britain

01:26:53.380 with enough computational power behind them. And so everything will be monitored,

01:27:00.620 everything will be recorded your case will be constantly getting updated if you make one

01:27:06.880 statement it'll be on your file forever so better make it quite an impressive one if you're going

01:27:12.020 to have one well you know you could go the full way and just say things that violate the llm's

01:27:18.120 terms of service so it won't record them who knows um one more then um hosep um name i'm not

01:27:55.620 yeah i don't don't strike me as either to be honest you have to have a level of material

01:28:02.400 wealth in order to go to conventions of this sort instead of going to work

01:28:28.660 perfectly legitimate question to ask the previous leader has put the millions in debt so i'd be

01:28:34.120 asking how much did that cost about an awful lot of things yeah but you would be hateful
