The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1420

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1420 for Monday the 18th of May

00:00:07.320 2026. I'm your host Luke who joined today by Firas and Carl. Hello. And today we're going to

00:00:13.120 be talking to you all about reflections on the Unite the Kingdom rally that was had this weekend

00:00:19.980 which seemed to have once again a great turnout and a solid energy to it. We're then going to be

00:00:25.520 talking about why it's time to restore Makerfield, because we have a campaign to fight, ladies and

00:00:32.640 gentlemen, and we all need to get to it. And then we're going to conclude with Firas's segment

00:00:38.180 talking all about the latest horrific murder and why racism seems to kill so often. So before we

00:00:48.000 get into the first segment, just to let you know, of course, it is Monday, so Firas has a Real

00:00:53.900 Politique at 3 o'clock. This one's going to be live? This one is live. And we're talking about

00:01:00.880 the, it's episode 47, so we're talking about the 47th president of the United States.

00:01:06.760 And how is it going, really? And has he achieved any of his geopolitical ambitions?

00:01:14.780 Right. Or is he closer to them? Yeah. So if you want to get Faraz's thoughts on all of that,

00:01:19.640 then tune in at three o'clock with all of that said okay carl tell us about the rally

00:01:25.820 so uh there was the united kingdom rally on saturday it was pretty big i don't think it's

00:01:32.120 quite as big as the previous one that seems to have been a particular moment in history but

00:01:35.700 i would say roughly 100 000 people something like that which is massive i mean who else can get 100

00:01:41.320 000 people out on the streets uh so that's enormous and what i really find very interesting

00:01:47.980 about this and the thing that i'd actually like to talk about here is the fact that it has begun

00:01:52.780 a dialogue with the prime minister and the labor party and tommy robinson they normally would

00:02:00.740 ignore us and for years they ignored us and on the last one they ignored us and then saw the scale

00:02:07.100 of the rally and so they're like oh actually this is a thing we have to address and so they began

00:02:12.840 addressing it, in fact, using executive government action. Now, this is remarkable, because what this

00:02:19.080 does, I mean, as you can see here, 11 far-right agitators banned from the UK by Shabana Mahmoud's

00:02:25.320 home office. Is Islam considered left-wing or right-wing? My understanding is that it's quite

00:02:29.860 right-wing. I mean, I would have thought so, but I guess it's a different paradigm altogether to

00:02:34.840 the modern politics. It's good to know that we can stop people from turning up to Britain anytime

00:02:39.460 we like though a lot of people said that it's like oh right actually so the borders do work

00:02:43.380 it's just that it's a matter of willpower and when they have the willpower they're happy to do it

00:02:47.780 which is very interesting again another wonderful precedent that's been set by the labor government

00:02:54.160 yeah you can just ban people if you don't agree with their politics and that's completely normal

00:02:57.680 it's like oh that's good that's good to know we'll put a pin in that um anyway so this what

00:03:04.120 this did is showed the organizers of the united kingdom rally you are politically important you

00:03:10.500 are politically salient you are in play as far as they're concerned you occupy a section of politics

00:03:17.680 that the government is responsive to feels vulnerable to and will use state power against

00:03:23.200 whenever and wherever they can and the day before starmer put out a video denouncing the march in

00:03:30.640 moral terms as he says uh oh i'll always champion peaceful protests but ah okay there's a but there

00:03:38.180 is there the unite the kingdom organized march organizers are peddling hatred and division

00:03:42.960 so now we're into a moral ideological argument we've already blocked the visas for far-right

00:03:48.280 agitators who want to come here and spew their extremist views they don't speak for the fair

00:03:52.440 decent respectful britain i knew and the the whole i mean you can see from his posture here

00:03:56.800 with his hands it's very defensive very very defensive um yeah he's he's in a battle and he

00:04:04.020 knows it and so in addition to this video as well i'll spare you listening to kiss i'm a drone on

00:04:09.820 he published this article in lbc as well on the day and this again is very interesting i'm going

00:04:17.660 to read some of it because it tells you it shows you why he thinks this is so important and it

00:04:22.540 connects to his thinking otherwise that has happened previously uh he says i'll try not to

00:04:28.120 do the accent now i'll try no i'm gonna try to do this the marches in london today will frighten

00:04:33.960 many but we must fight for the spirit of britain writes keir starmer take the pandemic he says

00:04:40.880 we saw neighbors checking in on elderly residents that have never met before mosques opening their

00:04:45.760 doors as vaccination centers churches and synagogues organizing food deliveries nhs staff

00:04:51.280 from every background working side by side

00:04:53.420 through the darkest of times.

00:04:54.840 I mean, what a horrific portrait of the best of Britain

00:04:58.060 that Kira's giving us here.

00:04:59.440 Yeah, well, when the government locks you down, 0.99

00:05:01.880 the mosques will become vaccination centres. 1.00

00:05:04.760 Like, I don't want any of that. 1.00

00:05:07.600 Like, that is hell on earth. 1.00

00:05:09.620 I don't want the lockdown, I don't want the mosques, 1.00

00:05:11.360 and I don't want the vaccination. 1.00

00:05:12.380 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:13.380 Like, thank you.

00:05:14.540 But no thank you.

00:05:15.660 I don't want any of these things.

00:05:17.760 Like, what?

00:05:18.600 I mean, literally he says, quote,

00:05:20.080 at our best that is who we are it's like that's awful that's worse exactly i just at your best

00:05:27.200 you rule a quarter of the surface of the planet yeah but no at best when the government has us 0.98

00:05:32.620 locked in our homes the mosques will vaccinate you i don't want that here okay i just don't want 0.99

00:05:42.720 that and if you'll say yeah whatever i'm attacking is in opposition to that i'm joining that thing 0.98

00:05:46.940 I'm joining that thing full-throatedly, right?

00:05:50.980 So anyway, he says,

00:05:52.540 At our best, this is who we are, united not by our backgrounds,

00:05:55.420 but by our shared sense of responsibility to one another and the common good.

00:05:58.900 That is our Britain and a Britain worth fighting for.

00:06:01.300 So essentially what you're saying is it's the Britain of the Great Replacement. 0.93

00:06:04.080 And when these people get here,

00:06:05.600 you are for some reason obligated to do as much as you can for these people.

00:06:10.440 And I mean, this is despite the fact that it's very clearly not happening, right?

00:06:15.560 Yes.

00:06:15.780 it's very very clearly not happening he carries on they don't feel any obligation to do anything 1.00

00:06:20.900 for you i mean god like they feel an obligation to attack you because you are infidels which which 0.95

00:06:27.220 we will get to in this article actually right so he says the organizers of the so-called unite the 0.75

00:06:32.820 kingdom march speak for a different idea of britain they see the challenges we face today

00:06:36.760 not as opportunities to bring people together but as catalysts to tear them apart i think that might

00:06:40.800 be happening anyway uh they want people to believe this country is defined by what separates us

00:06:45.700 by race religion and suspicion of anyone who looks differently to themselves i reject that

00:06:51.200 completely it is a betrayal of the values that have held this country together for generations

00:06:55.220 values that the majority of people still believe in it is an attack on britain itself i will not

00:07:00.740 let the likes of tommy robinson use their hate to drag our country backwards so what what is

00:07:05.740 kirstama saying with this right he is saying fundamentally britain does not have an ethnic

00:07:12.240 body right he's saying britain is purely values based you're all knowers exactly you're all

00:07:18.480 nowhere people and if you bring if i if i bring people over and say right you have to get along

00:07:23.680 with them you've got to go well that's britain that's just the way the imperial core works

00:07:29.020 and he's not wrong in a way actually in a way he is correct that there is a a set of institutions

00:07:35.420 that formed a worldwide global empire and did move people around just to use them as human

00:07:42.540 capital human labor i mean this is what the rohingya in burma are i'm danny the sunak family

00:07:47.460 exactly all of the indians who were in africa who got expelled by idi amin praising enoch powell

00:07:53.120 saying no london for the londoners uganda for the ugandans and these indians have arrived here it's

00:07:58.140 oh okay you know it's it's the national principle rejected all of this and so what kia starmer is 0.97

00:08:04.080 Britain is the empire. Britain is the remnants of the empire. The British people have no claim

00:08:12.240 on Britain itself. Since you don't rule Mumbai anymore, the correct thing to do is turn London 0.94

00:08:17.060 into Mumbai. Exactly. We also must confront another truth because the cause of a Palestinian

00:08:24.040 state is just, and alongside a safe and secure Israel, one that is recognized by this government.

00:08:29.940 You can see the problem here, can't you?

00:08:32.100 But on marches that support that cause,

00:08:34.940 it is not hard to find individuals who abuse it,

00:08:37.200 spread anti-Semitism, and intimidate Jewish communities.

00:08:40.740 And this is taking place against the backdrop

00:08:42.500 of deeply worrying rise in anti-Semitic attacks,

00:08:45.200 including terrorist attacks.

00:08:46.340 The end result is that British Jews feel unsafe on their own streets.

00:08:49.380 So that's an immediate contradiction with his happy-clappy John Lennon.

00:08:52.900 Oh, at our best, we're under lockdown. 0.90

00:08:55.560 We're getting vaccinated at the mosques. 1.00

00:08:57.160 and then for some reason the muslims are stabbing the jews in the face why is that happening oh that 0.98

00:09:02.320 doesn't represent real britain it's like no i think it actually does represent real britain 0.95

00:09:06.980 which is why it's happening constantly the origin of the conflict in the holy land is the british

00:09:12.500 empire as well immigration under the british empire if it was just you know if they controlled

00:09:18.800 it the way they controlled iraq fine whatever but it was the mass immigration that actually 0.72

00:09:24.420 created the problem yep in palestine israel the holy land so you know just saying kia you've begun 0.66

00:09:32.960 with we're our best when we're all best buddies just like the muslims and the jews in their 0.92

00:09:37.520 synagogues and mosques vaccinating each other he's like but for some reason there's a massive march

00:09:43.340 that declares they hate the jews and yeah yeah this isn't going to work right this isn't going

00:09:48.620 to work and the thing is as well even by his own standard it just comes down to okay well what do

00:09:53.160 we do. Well, it's just more money for these

00:09:55.060 client groups, more money for the Muslims, 0.94

00:09:57.020 more money for the Jews, and more money 0.69

00:09:59.020 for the general 0.71

00:10:00.740 blob that doesn't really exist and

00:10:03.020 isn't British. Well, he basically says

00:10:05.120 that. So, the silent majority,

00:10:07.600 they, he says, but he means the silent majority,

00:10:09.420 may not always be the loudest voices online

00:10:11.200 or on our streets, but they are the majority,

00:10:13.300 the decent majority, and they must define

00:10:15.100 our future. So, what does that mean? The silent

00:10:17.180 majority who are just going to be ethnically 1.00

00:10:18.860 replacing their own homelands and turned into 0.76

00:10:21.100 second-class citizens while the state 0.72

00:10:23.160 that mediates conflicts between Hindus, Muslims, and Jews. The normal British people are just 0.81

00:10:29.780 expected to be quiet and put up with this state of affairs because, quote, this country belongs

00:10:33.980 to all of us. So the definition of decency, according to Mr. Starmer, is submission and

00:10:40.460 complacency. Yes. If you refuse to submit, if you aren't complacent about the replacement level

00:10:48.420 migration then you are not decent yes and you are and but you are attacking britain itself remember

00:10:56.260 yes the exact word he is right so he says this country belongs to all of us it's like okay well

00:11:00.520 who's us then here he says and and this is the this is the end of the article right i'll show

00:11:05.360 you just like the the very end of the article because it is just remarkable right as you can

00:11:11.740 see it belongs to the muslim family worried about abuse on the way to mosque it belongs to the jewish

00:11:16.640 student on campus afraid to be open about who they are i wonder if there's any connection there 0.75

00:11:20.600 it belongs to the quiet majority who wants to live in a country where people treat one another

00:11:24.720 with dignity and respect this is our britain and i will not tolerate anyone who seeks to tear it

00:11:28.820 apart so if you do not tolerate being ignored unheard silent the quiet majority whilst that

00:11:37.540 still lasts that majority then you will not be tolerated enemy of the state enemy of the state

00:11:43.920 And what a remarkable set of omissions from Keir Starmer.

00:11:47.820 Yes.

00:11:48.440 Absolutely remarkable.

00:11:50.020 And it's important that basically anyone who was thinking

00:11:52.880 or did attend the Tommy Robinson rally,

00:11:55.140 and again, the rallies aren't really about Tommy Robinson now.

00:11:57.500 That's the point that Keir Starmer is making.

00:12:00.220 It's like, no, no, no, this is about you,

00:12:02.240 the non-decent majority, 0.99

00:12:03.940 who want representation in their own country. 1.00

00:12:06.220 Sorry, we're talking about Muslims and Jews. 1.00

00:12:08.060 Hello?

00:12:09.000 Do you not understand what's really important here? 1.00

00:12:11.940 Vaccinations in the mosque. 0.86

00:12:13.360 so starmer thinks it's their britain not your britain and he carries on i mean like he said

00:12:20.140 this before it's a battle for the soul of the country and and he said this in a visit to the

00:12:25.160 metropolitan police's command and control special operations room on friday the day before so you

00:12:29.700 can see how unbelievably involved he is in this it's like here you're about to be unseated by

00:12:35.180 your own bloody party you're currently in the middle of a labor civil war he's like yeah okay 0.87

00:12:38.460 but i've got muslims and jews to protect yes that can wait and you know that can wait so he goes to 0.95

00:12:43.700 this command and control uh center and he says quote we're in a fight for the soul of this

00:12:48.640 country and unite the kingdom march is a stark reminder of exactly what we're up against if the 0.88

00:12:52.780 british people the normal british people like they're so normal it's actually like it's kind 0.51

00:12:58.660 of painful when you guys are saying oh they're far it's like yeah but they're just really and

00:13:02.820 It's from all walks of life.

00:13:03.940 It's from all ages.

00:13:04.040 They just reform councillors.

00:13:05.560 There's nothing to be afraid of.

00:13:09.180 They're not nearly that extreme.

00:13:12.600 It's organised as a peddling hate and division,

00:13:14.880 plain and simple.

00:13:15.820 And you can see him.

00:13:16.540 There's like, you know,

00:13:17.580 Sadiq Khan, where he's like sat next to him.

00:13:19.880 He's like, yep, this is what's happening,

00:13:21.140 Mr. Prime Minister.

00:13:22.040 And there's a video of him.

00:13:23.500 Like, actually like...

00:13:24.640 That's an act the coalition will take.

00:13:25.980 So that bottom up there,

00:13:27.120 the blue route to the other side

00:13:28.520 is the route that Unite the Kingdom will be following.

00:13:30.360 And they'll be using public order conditions

00:13:31.940 to keep them to that route and their from-up locations.

00:13:34.820 And then Nat Brintan to rally at Waterloo Place.

00:13:37.320 He's totally focused on what's happening.

00:13:39.500 It's like, you're not just focused on anything.

00:13:41.800 This is unbelievably important to him.

00:13:44.600 Also as well, it's remarkable how he just sits there

00:13:47.460 and it's like, yeah, my God, these peasants,

00:13:49.160 how dare they step out of line?

00:13:50.580 Whilst he's sat next to Sadiq Khan,

00:13:53.360 a man who cannot go a week without gloating about the fact

00:13:57.560 that he's taking over our own capital city.

00:14:01.120 diversity now yeah yeah exactly um and and so you can see that kirstama genuinely feels a kind

00:14:08.220 of sense of ownership over this subject as in you are rebellious peasants this is a peasants revolt

00:14:15.100 as far as kirstama is concerned and you'll get the full force of the law which he says many times

00:14:20.800 throughout this using facial recognition software and all this sort of stuff it's like okay that

00:14:25.260 that is interesting how this is the thing that has you most provoked right this is there's no

00:14:30.140 similar vitriol for the palestine marchers well hang on let's let's let's put a pin in that we'll

00:14:36.460 get to that because it's not nowhere near we'll get it we'll get to that because it's it's it's

00:14:41.620 it's way worse uh anyway so of course there you know kirstama's arch nemeses in the labor party

00:14:47.460 are also like well yeah obviously tommy robinson is the worst in the world uh there are no second

00:14:52.880 class citizens in this country except for us i mean like literally but anyway also as well like

00:14:59.120 to go back to um kia starmer's favorite era of lockdowns as well you know the labor party were

00:15:04.800 more than happy we're advocating for making second-class citizens in britain with the

00:15:10.100 vaccine passport basically saying you get this jab and you will have more rights than the people

00:15:15.780 who didn't so they're not even in principle against second-class citizenry can you imagine

00:15:20.580 being like yeah ah best time of my life was when the entire country was locked down and people 0.61

00:15:24.680 getting vaccinated in the mosques like that is that is a weird thing to be wistful over isn't it 0.96

00:15:29.180 really weird thing anyway so there were as you say uh the the two marches there was the uh 0.55

00:15:35.300 knackburn march and then there was the patriot march and they didn't go anywhere near each other

00:15:40.060 uh there wasn't any particular trouble between them and a football match that was on there were

00:15:45.580 42 arrests in london that day uh there would have been well over a million people attending all of

00:15:50.700 these events collectively um you can see the video footage obviously it's massive but on both sides

00:15:56.220 you know their march was big too um and so very trivial amount of actual trouble that came out of

00:16:02.980 this but as you say kirsten was on say for the notting hill carnival yeah yeah way safer yeah

00:16:09.420 wait zero people were murdered like zero people as far as i'm aware zero people stabbed well done

00:16:13.980 guys yeah so low bar but notting hill carnival makes it easy to jump uh but anyway yeah so the

00:16:20.840 rival march has happened and i said in a video the other day it's like it's very interesting

00:16:24.440 how they're both marching under the national principle against the empire right the they're

00:16:28.920 complaining about the nakbars and the palestinians being expelled from their land because of course 0.99

00:16:32.500 they want their own sovereign nation state and we're complaining we're being expelled from our 0.84

00:16:36.980 land because we want our own sovereign nation state and kirsten was like well i don't care

00:16:40.980 about one of them because one of them actually isn't a threat to my empire but the other one

00:16:45.580 that's a defeated people don't care about them but the other one is not yet a defeated people

00:16:50.920 they're the actual threat to what's happening here and uh so you have this phrase battle for

00:16:58.520 the soul which is important uh he used this in summer has one well no not him oh he's trying

00:17:04.800 to steal someone else's um he he said this this is from 2025 so last year's unite the kingdom

00:17:12.320 rally when he saw the size of it uh he was like right okay and this is with reform because he

00:17:17.360 views reform as an extension of this of course and you know it is or was i don't know why Nigel

00:17:24.740 Farage couldn't see that but anyway he views what's happening as a battle for the soul of

00:17:29.560 the country and the the question that is at play is do the native british people have a claim to

00:17:34.520 britain do they have an exclusive claim to britain that other people don't have keir starmer says no

00:17:38.460 it's for everyone and i mean literally everyone else on earth even even the even the palestinian

00:17:44.560 people are arguing under the national principle that yes peoples have claims to places yes right

00:17:50.260 so keir starmer has enemies everywhere really um and then you have uh this one which is from the

00:17:56.160 previous one this is the fight of our times against the toxic division shown in the far right rally

00:18:00.540 same message and this is what's really put it on his radar he understands that there is a huge

00:18:05.780 upswill of the national principle against the imperial principle um he even uh has tried to

00:18:11.660 claim the flagging campaign remember because of course he recognizes in this the same principle

00:18:16.780 being expressed all right there's widespread discontent with the empire stealing the land

00:18:21.160 from the people that's what it comes to and these marches completely put the fear of god into starma

00:18:26.580 he said it was spine shivering to see the number of people who turned out for last year's march

00:18:31.580 which is why he reacted to this year's march for him spine shivering he said that much that we had

00:18:38.120 here two weeks ago in london that sent shivers through the spines of many our community many

00:18:42.040 of our communities well away from london not just those in the immediate vicinity so he was like god

00:18:46.680 i'm going to get down to the mosques and the synagogues and hug them and tell them it'll be

00:18:49.980 Fine. Starmer can perceive that there is a moral rupture in the country and the system runs the 0.99

00:18:57.020 very real danger of being on the wrong side of it. Their view that the silent majority must

00:19:03.660 remain silent as Britain is colonized and the colonizers are basically ignored no matter what

00:19:10.160 they say or do. The problem is the resistance to the colonization. And we can see this in the fact

00:19:16.520 that he mentions before the rally,

00:19:20.100 oh yeah, okay, I don't want there to be attacks

00:19:23.040 between rival communities, but that's an ongoing issue.

00:19:25.800 That's not something that's caused by the rally.

00:19:27.920 And at the rally, he had nothing to say

00:19:30.340 about the Nakhbar March, right?

00:19:32.380 Now, the Nakhbar March, as your party tell us,

00:19:35.460 it's a march of love in solidarity

00:19:38.360 with Palestinians against racism.

00:19:40.120 Oh, it's for good things.

00:19:41.140 It's just for, yes, literally.

00:19:42.840 It's a march for good things.

00:19:44.480 Then we'd have thought of having a march for good things.

00:19:47.040 Yeah, I know.

00:19:47.580 If only... 0.99

00:19:48.700 God damn, why did we go for the march for hate and division? 0.99

00:19:52.200 You know, why did we choose that one? 0.99

00:19:54.780 Not us again.

00:19:55.660 Yeah.

00:19:56.260 At their march, by the way, like Jeremy Corbyn and...

00:19:59.600 What's that Coventry one? 1.00

00:20:01.260 Zara Sultana.

00:20:01.900 That's it, Zara Sultana.

00:20:02.860 They both spoke there, you know, saying that they were for good things

00:20:05.360 and we were for bad things.

00:20:06.520 I was like, oh, incredible.

00:20:08.080 But the thing is, no message from Keir Starmer

00:20:10.860 other than say the cause of their march is valid, right?

00:20:13.540 Now, I mean, it is quite weird, the kind of people who turn up at these marches, right?

00:20:20.300 As you can see, they're not the most polite people.

00:20:22.680 I mean, here's one guy who is basically like Hitler did nothing wrong. 0.97

00:20:25.920 If the West feels so sorry for the Israeli Zionists, why don't they give a place in Germany? 0.90

00:20:32.060 Why don't you go to Hitler's back garden and make an occupation there? 0.98

00:20:36.220 Then they will know what kind of people these are. 0.93

00:20:38.580 why every so many hundred years 0.95

00:20:41.380 the Zionists get slaughtered. 0.99

00:20:43.980 Because Hitler knew 0.99

00:20:45.500 how to deal with these people. 0.99

00:20:47.960 They probably made a program

00:20:49.200 so they can create a state of Israel 0.85

00:20:52.040 in the expense of 0.71

00:20:53.780 Palestinian Muslims' blood.

00:20:57.140 Any thoughts, Kier? 1.00

00:20:59.980 Quote, Hitler knew how to deal with these people. 0.58

00:21:02.300 Any opinion on that whatsoever? 0.84

00:21:05.380 Just out of interest.

00:21:07.640 Yeah.

00:21:08.380 It's a bit remarkable. 1.00

00:21:09.620 I love how we went from Zionists, which is very modern, 0.99

00:21:12.760 to every few hundred years. 0.99

00:21:14.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:21:14.740 Sort of, you know, you should say Zionists, 1.00

00:21:17.000 but we all know what you mean. 1.00

00:21:18.740 Yes.

00:21:19.000 Right?

00:21:19.500 It's fantastic.

00:21:21.580 Amazing.

00:21:22.100 And, I mean, there were people who were calling for Tommy Robinson's death,

00:21:25.340 shooting him in the neck like Charlie Kirk, 0.95

00:21:26.820 and calling him to be hung like Mussolini. 0.99

00:21:29.640 Again, any thoughts about the division here, Kit?

00:21:33.060 No, it's completely normal.

00:21:34.660 It's completely fine.

00:21:35.760 and then on the other side you have last year trevor phillips went to the united kingdom rally

00:21:40.280 he was like wow this is really normal this just feels like a nice family day out and so this year

00:21:45.140 nana akuna from gb news went down there and was like yeah i went i went looking for the far right

00:21:50.860 and it was really normal and everyone was really nice to me it's like yeah no kidding no kidding

00:21:56.240 whatsoever um so i just find it really interesting how kia starmer has managed to start a moral

00:22:01.840 argument with tommy robinson that he is losing he's losing this argument in public and rendering

00:22:09.020 the system on the side of the hitler knew how to deal with these people crowd whereas like normal

00:22:16.840 people on the other side so yeah it was just a fun day out it was just a really nice day out you

00:22:21.260 know there's music there's dancing there's you know good time and we had lots of speeches i got

00:22:25.220 to speak which was nice uh and informed everyone this can be the last labor government you're ever

00:22:29.160 going to see because Keir Starmer is so desperate to put himself on the wrong side of every issue

00:22:34.280 isn't it so remarkable as well the Labour Party and in the beginning of Blair decided to just

00:22:39.660 open Britain up so much more to diversity to halt to to basically shore up their own power and rub

00:22:45.120 the rights facing it and actually you know 30 years down the line it's like okay actually now

00:22:50.240 diversity is going to responsible for annihilating your party forever well get what you deserve

00:22:56.260 day yeah so the um the final thing i wanted to end on here was uh of course uh the thing uh there 0.93

00:23:02.500 were there were some patriots uh who at one point tommy said well you know i'm not going to tell

00:23:08.880 you what party you got to vote for it could be reform it could be um advanced it could be the

00:23:12.880 conservatives or it could be restore but you have to vote and the crowd just starts cheering restore

00:23:16.720 restore restore rupert rupert rupert uh multiple times and so you you can see where the mandate of

00:23:23.160 heaven is on this um so anyway i'll leave that there it's all very good news okay uh for five

00:23:31.680 dollars uh a drunk changeling says for the next rally the band speaker should arrive on the small

00:23:36.300 boat it's like yeah um and cranky texan for ten dollars thank you says deportations have been a

00:23:42.320 useful tool of the imperial elites for a thousand for thousands of years looking at you sargon i

00:23:48.660 don't know why anyone thinks this has somehow changed completely true yeah completely true this

00:23:53.920 is what the imperial center does so exactly the the fact that they are so eager to do it shows

00:24:00.540 that we are still the last territory occupied by the british empire yeah it is remarkable isn't it

00:24:05.820 how you see them just like the the entirety of just human civilization and nature and tribalism

00:24:11.200 and then there's just the hubris of the labor party going yeah we can just end that because

00:24:16.260 Plus, we've got Wes Streeting and Ed Miliband and just all these big brains who are able to.

00:24:21.220 Yeah, crazy.

00:24:22.640 All right, then, ladies and gentlemen.

00:24:24.440 So as Keir Starmer is currently fighting for his political career with all of, you know, those in the Labour Party who are very much looking forward to backstabbing that career behind him.

00:24:36.640 obviously we can see the not so subtle um not so subtle change where uh there's been a stand down

00:24:45.480 in the by-election at makersfield and as a result of this Andy Burnham is obviously going to stand

00:24:50.380 for it in uh it's near Manchester South Wigan and he's basically going to try to cue out Keir Starmer

00:24:56.820 this is obvious everyone can see it uh the people of makerfield can see it and all eyes are going to

00:25:03.560 be on this constituency for the next month now. And I'm pleased to tell you, ladies and gentlemen,

00:25:10.000 that we need to get serious because we have a lot of work to do. Because as it has been announced,

00:25:15.880 Restore Britain will be standing a candidate in the maker field by election. And Rupert says that

00:25:21.360 there was an overwhelming demand for it from the local members to do so. And he entirely agrees.

00:25:26.340 And the campaign has already started and we aim to win thousands and thousands of votes.

00:25:30.820 more news to come soon now obviously this was a few days ago but i think we should just start by

00:25:37.860 um being transparent that this was not um something wholly agreed on by by the movement itself also

00:25:44.800 we're restoring supporters we are the button didn't get give it away yeah of course uh but

00:25:50.440 there were there were conversations from people about is this the appropriate time should we just

00:25:54.980 let reform kind of win this one to deprive burnham and there were conversations and i don't want to

00:26:00.540 take away from that but the rallying horn has been blown yeah and it is now time to marshal behind it

00:26:06.700 right Rupert Charlie Lewis Harrison everyone at the top of restore they have built the vehicle

00:26:13.480 now it is on us now that they've given the signal for us to go for it and why shouldn't we go for

00:26:19.480 it we have been waiting for decades for the opportunity to actually put our message to the

00:26:26.820 british people can i sorry i i don't mean to laugh but you're exactly right because i mean i i've had

00:26:32.220 some people in my in my replies being like ah look lotus eaters being paid by restore and i'm like

00:26:38.920 and i'm just like listen man we've been around for six years now you know we've been waiting for

00:26:43.480 years for a party like this absolutely you know they they don't have to pay us you know they we

00:26:48.720 do it for free like we support restore but for free i i mean in my head i've just got like you

00:26:54.500 know shakespeare hangry the fifth going it's like i see you straining like greyhounds upon

00:26:58.440 yeah we're sterning upon the start thank god we finally have something we can do right and

00:27:03.540 something you know especially coming off of the major morale boost that was the victory in great

00:27:09.120 yarmouth as well um this is all very encouraging encouraging now there are some people who are not

00:27:14.520 optimistic for our chances chances such as dan hodges but he didn't think they'd win in great

00:27:19.300 Yarmouth either. No, he didn't, but he's going to carry on knuckling down with his cope and saying

00:27:25.020 about the fact that you have zero profile outside of Great Yarmouth. It's like, yeah,

00:27:30.380 but we built up an insurmountable profile in Great Yarmouth. Yes. And it's a receptive message

00:27:37.200 up and down the country. It's not as if the people of Great Yarmouth have some particular issue that

00:27:42.260 no other part of the country is touched by. Yeah. Right. It's all just a network of the same problem.

00:27:47.900 makes Fielder's totally the wrong demographic

00:27:51.000 for his extreme message.

00:27:52.780 Now, we'll talk about...

00:27:54.220 I feel like Dan Hodges is goading us.

00:27:55.880 I've got to the point... 0.98

00:27:56.540 96% white? 1.00

00:27:57.560 Yeah, 96% white, working class, left behind, 1.00

00:28:02.180 leave voting.

00:28:04.080 Like, it's hard to think of actually

00:28:06.580 a more perfect constituency.

00:28:09.440 It's literally like Great Yarmouth

00:28:11.040 transplanted somewhere else in Britain, right?

00:28:13.420 It's the same kind of people,

00:28:15.280 the same kind of issues,

00:28:16.420 The same kind of wants out of politics and the same kind of people who have been left behind by the mainstream policy, the Labour, Conservative, and then any other parties that just happen to be full of Conservatives.

00:28:27.740 So it's just really remarkable how actually this has dropped in our lap and it couldn't have looked better. 0.93

00:28:33.560 It could be like a Gorton and Denton, for example, where it's 30% Muslim, where it's not just ideal. 0.99

00:28:39.700 And it doesn't have a formal university either. 0.75

00:28:42.280 So it's not like we're going to just naturally lose a good size of the vote to just leftist students.

00:28:48.600 The Greens.

00:28:49.240 Yeah, and stuff like that as well.

00:28:50.660 The Greens, I mean, some of the Labour voters may go to the Greens.

00:28:54.740 But really, everything is to play for now, I think, between reform and restore.

00:29:00.020 Now, I appreciate the fact that it's early days, but I do believe that we have the right messaging.

00:29:05.440 We have an incredible ground game.

00:29:07.400 And I think that there is actually a real chance that we could do something extraordinary here for the people of Makersfield.

00:29:18.340 Now, one thing as well that I just wanted to point to is the fact that a lot of people are saying about the fact, yeah, but Burnham, but Burnham.

00:29:26.440 It's like, OK, but who cares?

00:29:28.520 Like, he's not going to save the Labour Party.

00:29:30.800 people talk to about the fact that you know his um what he'll do to like give permanent

00:29:36.100 settlement to the boris wave and everything it's like but it's going to happen no no it's even

00:29:40.840 better i saw robert generic complaining that he was going to give permanent settlement to the

00:29:45.620 boris wave on twitter yesterday generic generic put out a video saying he's going to give permanent

00:29:51.720 settlement to all of the guys i brought here it's like then why did you bring them in the first place

00:29:56.640 Now vote for the party.

00:29:58.260 Now vote for me.

00:29:58.900 Thanks for the people that let them in.

00:30:00.300 Yeah, it's just, what are you doing?

00:30:02.960 It's incomprehensible.

00:30:04.600 It is.

00:30:05.380 And I'm not much, I'm not very optimistic

00:30:08.240 for Labour's chances either, anyway.

00:30:10.160 I mean, the idea of Wes Streeting going up

00:30:12.660 to be door-knocking for Andy Burnham,

00:30:14.480 especially after Streeting has just given a speech

00:30:16.620 saying about the fact that he is in favour of rejoining the EU.

00:30:20.820 Hold on, he was a return to the EU.

00:30:22.360 Yeah, so does Burnham.

00:30:23.380 He was a socialist, so does Burnham.

00:30:25.580 and he's an associate of Peter Mandelson

00:30:29.660 exchanging messages with kisses with Peter Mandelson

00:30:33.040 and he doesn't know what a woman is.

00:30:36.580 And you're telling me that a constituency

00:30:38.220 that says that it's 60% Christian

00:30:40.140 is going to support him knocking on their doors.

00:30:43.600 Please go knock on their doors.

00:30:45.320 Can I please be a fly on the wall?

00:30:47.740 He also codes a very London metropolitan elite as well.

00:30:51.620 What makes you say that?

00:30:52.760 Yeah, yeah, right.

00:30:53.340 which is actually not the thing that people want

00:30:56.700 and is actually what we've been systematically rejecting

00:30:59.700 and shoveling into the fire.

00:31:02.180 So, yeah, I would love for West Streeting

00:31:04.640 to spend as much time as possible door-knocking.

00:31:06.360 I don't know.

00:31:07.080 He just looks like the sort of man

00:31:08.800 that would go into a working-class Wigan pub

00:31:10.840 and he'd just end up crying within five minutes.

00:31:15.540 Like, oh my God, that's so racist.

00:31:19.000 And he's just got such softness about his features as well, isn't he? 0.94

00:31:22.440 It's like, look, man, you know, go away.

00:31:24.940 Yeah, it's like no one cares worse.

00:31:26.880 No one cares.

00:31:28.340 And so fortunately we have, as Rupert says here as well,

00:31:32.580 we've already raised tens of thousands of pounds in small donations

00:31:35.840 from Restore Britain members to help in Makersfield,

00:31:39.840 all in just one afternoon evening.

00:31:42.300 The membership is a very special group of patriots.

00:31:45.020 And I agree, you can feel the fellowship.

00:31:47.240 You can feel the camaraderie.

00:31:48.880 You can feel the sense of...

00:31:50.360 Because they know what's at stake.

00:31:51.220 We know what's at stake here. And also as well, we're not going to listen to people saying, oh, but you'll split the vote with reform. It's like, OK, maybe Farage and the rest of his ilk should have thought about that when they tried to ruin the personal reputation of an obviously good man.

00:32:10.080 But even then, there's just no evidence to suggest that we will be splitting the vote.

00:32:13.280 No. I mean, especially with Great Yarmouth.

00:32:15.240 You didn't even manage to split the vote in Great Yarmouth.

00:32:17.180 Yeah, and think of all the people we brought back into the political system in Great Yarmouth as well. 0.77

00:32:24.580 Howie comes to, as some kind of Middle East money man with all kinds of dodgy connections with the Kurds and with the UAE, 0.89

00:32:33.600 the UAE itself being a sort of, you know, the most pro-Israel country in the Middle East, they act on their behalf.

00:32:41.240 Then you've got Braverman. 0.89

00:32:43.120 Okay, acceptable.

00:32:44.680 Not really great.

00:32:45.800 Jenrick, immigration minister

00:32:48.700 responsible for the Afghans

00:32:50.400 Nadine Doris, responsible 0.77

00:32:52.740 for the Online Communications Act

00:32:54.180 that they got censored by the other day

00:32:55.680 Zia Youssef had put out a video, for anyone who doesn't know

00:32:59.220 which got censored off TikTok

00:33:00.480 under the Online Safety Act that Nadine Doris had authored

00:33:03.000 so it must have been an awkward conversation

00:33:04.540 in the Farage bunker

00:33:05.860 where he's like, you did this

00:33:07.280 Exactly

00:33:08.400 Why did we bring you in again?

00:33:10.680 Exactly, what are you doing here?

00:33:12.560 What are any of you doing here?

00:33:13.620 And Zia Yusuf, who resigned over a possible Burqa ban.

00:33:16.720 Yes, yes.

00:33:18.300 This is the sort of patriotic party?

00:33:21.920 It's bizarre.

00:33:22.880 And it's just packed full of Tories.

00:33:24.540 It's something like four-fifths Tory now, the Reform Party.

00:33:28.400 Ship of Theseus.

00:33:28.820 Yeah, it's just the ship of Theseus for the Conservative Party.

00:33:31.400 Whereas we can see here with the maker field patriots,

00:33:35.200 they're already going out in force, has already been, as Rupert says,

00:33:38.120 good on-the-ground campaigning just this weekend as all of this has been announced.

00:33:44.600 And the other thing as well that I would just say is that we still have a month to campaign.

00:33:49.920 That is a month of going into constituencies, of leafleting, of having the conversations

00:33:54.720 on the doorstep that the local people feel the need to have, that they've had repressed

00:33:58.960 and told that they should be ashamed for having for so long.

00:34:02.340 It's a month of being in the pub, right?

00:34:05.440 Them all just being in the pub, having the local discussions about politics.

00:34:09.480 Yeah, I was thinking of voting for reform, but I have these problems.

00:34:12.480 Well, have you heard that this is new?

00:34:14.260 Right, all of this, it is remarkable how given an option that is actually in their interests,

00:34:19.760 that will fight in their interests, and that no longer has to be the least worst option.

00:34:25.380 Yes.

00:34:25.900 Right?

00:34:27.080 I think everything's to play for.

00:34:28.840 I agree.

00:34:29.180 I really think everything's to play for here.

00:34:31.240 There is a chance to not hold your nose while voting.

00:34:34.540 Yes.

00:34:35.440 Which I don't think I've ever managed to do.

00:34:37.240 Which might be an improvement.

00:34:38.560 Unironically, throughout my entire adult life,

00:34:40.820 I've only ever voted for the least worst option.

00:34:43.120 Yes.

00:34:43.860 Never had an alternative.

00:34:45.000 Never voted and felt satisfied.

00:34:46.720 No.

00:34:47.140 Ever.

00:34:47.540 I mean, I voted for Farage at the last election, held my nose.

00:34:50.400 For Boris in 2019, held my nose.

00:34:53.200 Before then, I think I must have voted for the Conservatives at some point,

00:34:56.820 but I was never a Conservative, you know what I mean?

00:34:59.040 It was just, what else was I going to do?

00:35:01.840 And I'm just sick of it.

00:35:03.780 I'm just sick of it.

00:35:04.500 I want to vote for the thing I actually want for once.

00:35:06.700 Yeah.

00:35:07.060 I just want that to be an option for once.

00:35:08.980 And finally it is.

00:35:10.380 And I agree with you.

00:35:11.240 I think genuinely everything's to play for,

00:35:12.580 because I was looking at it, and in 2024,

00:35:14.480 48% of the constituency didn't vote in the general.

00:35:17.560 Very similar, again, to Great Yarmouth,

00:35:20.400 where it's actually a lot of people who are like,

00:35:22.460 no, all of these people are in it for themselves.

00:35:23.980 And the sort of reaction we've been getting in Swindon,

00:35:26.280 when we're talking to people, when we've been leafleting,

00:35:29.200 we thought it was all over.

00:35:30.560 It's like, because it looks all over.

00:35:31.940 Even with Farage.

00:35:32.620 Farage has been used as a protest vote saying, no, I hate the Labour Party.

00:35:37.740 They've betrayed me. I'm sick of it. I'm going to vote for reform.

00:35:40.720 And Farage is misinterpreting that as a deep and abiding love of reform and Farage.

00:35:45.140 And it's like, it's not, though.

00:35:46.580 I mean, even your own party are only about 50% sold on you, weirdly enough.

00:35:50.720 And that's meant to be your personality cult.

00:35:52.780 You know, you're being used as a protest vote.

00:35:54.880 What happens when actually there's some proper steak on the menu?

00:35:58.620 and also how far are your your own party members going to support you after they see the wheels

00:36:06.280 starting to grind and it all starting to jam up because there is a better option in the political

00:36:12.060 system and this is exactly what the restored britain page says here it's like if you want

00:36:17.080 failed conservative politicians they have two options right if you want something entirely

00:36:22.560 fresh and different there is just one and that is restore britain what about if matt goodwin goes

00:36:27.340 down again with i'm sure many lessons learned from the last campaign family voting um and so

00:36:35.480 we're just at the time when i was putting this segment together we actually had the announcement

00:36:40.120 this morning for who that candidate was going to be and so let me introduce to you uh rebecca

00:36:46.140 shepherd and she is going to be the candidate for restore britain for the upcoming by-election

00:36:53.020 and I think that there are, so it goes on to say, I'm proud to announce that local businesswoman

00:36:58.700 Rebecca Shepard is our Restore Britain candidate. Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living

00:37:04.040 and working in the Wigan borough where she has built and run her own small business.

00:37:09.640 Through that experience, she understands firsthand the pressures facing local businesses

00:37:14.080 and working people across the country. Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing

00:37:19.800 impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape and bureaucracy, which continues to make

00:37:25.960 everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families and

00:37:32.360 stay afloat. And then that, so there's a speech introducing Rebecca to everyone. And then they

00:37:38.400 talk about some of the local concerns that they're going to be prioritising on the ground here. And

00:37:43.520 obviously these are all things that because, and I think the framing before I go on is right with

00:37:48.300 this because of course this is not a general election we cannot promise to turn the tide

00:37:52.500 and fix everything in the country but we are going to we are and that's a promise but the other thing

00:37:57.760 as well is that we've seen by rupert's own example what one restore britain mp can do

00:38:04.420 in their local constituency to improve things for that constituency and if rebecca can get in with

00:38:10.860 a similar model with the identical principles and do that for the people of wigan then that is

00:38:16.760 something that I hope would be extremely attractive to them. And it goes on safer streets for women

00:38:22.900 and girls, tackling the gangs of foreign men who harass and intimidate local women and girls in 0.86

00:38:28.140 Ashton and elsewhere across the constituency of the Wigan borough, fight reckless overdevelopment

00:38:34.180 in areas including South Hindley and Winstanley. Roads, dentists, GPs must come before responsible

00:38:42.020 yeah must come before responsible housing building provided for local families

00:38:46.740 she's also very very passionate about scn schools as well and caring for uh the disabled

00:38:53.920 constituents which is of course very important uh also says that she's against over diagnosis

00:38:59.400 yes which is precisely the right tone to strike yes there is a huge amount of over diagnosis

00:39:04.820 but you also have to be concerned with people who are genuinely troubled yes it's too simple

00:39:10.240 to say well we'll get rid of that then exactly no no there are there are a small sense of people

00:39:13.860 who genuinely need these things and we have to look after those people exactly but there are also

00:39:17.480 a large number of people who are complete grifters who are trying to get on that bandwagon because

00:39:21.280 it's free money and to have a come out and say no no no this is important yes and also and it has

00:39:27.580 to be done right and also the grifting on it is important too and we have to be able to differentiate

00:39:32.400 very very important absolutely uh tackle antisocial behavior of course uh no nonsense

00:39:38.860 visible policing to crack down on criminal activity in our towns and also that parents

00:39:44.180 must be held responsible for what their children are inflicting on the community as well they're

00:39:49.680 your children they're your responsibility uh restore restore our high street i know right

00:39:56.300 restore our high streets push for free car parking to drive football abolish business

00:40:01.900 rates to reinvigorate our town centers she's won me over right oh my god are we relocating

00:40:08.840 to wigan so for anyone who doesn't know right business rates are a tax that the local council

00:40:14.440 imposes on you because screw you right that's literally oh you've got a business it's literally

00:40:20.640 like a mafia so it'd be a shame if something happened to this you better hand over some cash 0.97

00:40:24.580 that's it's literally just you have a business 50 of the rent that you pay we're just going to

00:40:29.260 charge you 50 of the rent it doesn't matter what your profits are it doesn't matter what the scale 0.94

00:40:32.800 of your business is what matters is that you're here and we're going to rob from you i hate

00:40:37.040 business rates. And not only are we going to rob for you, we're going to show no tangible benefit

00:40:42.620 towards robbing you whatsoever. That's right, it's not a service, right? Yeah, that's a great point.

00:40:47.780 It's not an exchange. No, we're just literally robbing you for nothing. It's not you give us

00:40:54.000 this, you get a nice clean new park for the children. It's just things keep getting worse.

00:40:58.760 Yeah. And so everything here sounds overwhelmingly positive. Now, Firas, you made

00:41:05.080 many sensible points on this larger post about what this presents as a threat to reform.

00:41:11.660 And I think it's just worth going through some of the points that you highlight in it.

00:41:16.260 Yeah, sure. I mean, the basic idea is that nobody owns your vote. It's a very Lebanese thing to

00:41:23.940 think that you owe your vote to your leader in Lebanon. I do think that, but you don't want to 1.00

00:41:29.180 be Lebanon. That's kind of why I'm here. That's true. The basic message. You've sold me on that 1.00

00:41:34.440 point to the past year. Thank you. I think I've convinced you about that point. But the idea is

00:41:40.060 that if reform don't win this, it really is a huge problem for them. If Andy Burnham becomes

00:41:48.160 prime minister, actually, I think he has maybe less sheer willpower and evil force animating him

00:41:55.820 than Keir Starmer. Weirdly, I think he hates it less than Keir Starmer. He is less connected to

00:42:00.300 the dark side of the force than Keir Star. You will mandle some protégés in his government.

00:42:05.720 Yes, maybe. Maybe. It's a possibility. So, OK, Andy Burnham comes in. The Labour Party is in a

00:42:12.080 shambles. He's not going to save them any more than Rishi Sunak could save the Conservatives.

00:42:16.420 They're going to run their time until the election comes and then crash and burn. And it's the same

00:42:21.160 exact outcome. Whereas for reform, it means that they can't make a case in their core constituency

00:42:28.820 and see if they don't win it.

00:42:30.740 And it means that they have to adjust

00:42:32.580 by shifting to the right

00:42:34.000 because that would have been where their votes went.

00:42:38.140 Their votes would have gone to restore.

00:42:40.020 The votes that they were betting on,

00:42:41.520 the 50% that they scored in the local elections,

00:42:45.180 that's where it would have gone.

00:42:46.780 But with 50% of the vote going to reform

00:42:49.960 in the last election, in the local elections,

00:42:53.020 maybe half of them would prefer restore.

00:42:56.200 And then if 25% of the people who don't vote

00:42:58.660 come out you've got another great yarmouth situation on you and that breaks the the momentum

00:43:06.300 of reform completely yeah if restore win this it's a complete national game changer oh it will be

00:43:13.580 devastating for reform and and i could imagine the the uni party deciding actually let's have

00:43:20.760 an early election before and hand this over to nigel because he's going to keep fighting the 0.83

00:43:27.100 same people. Yes. Yeah, I could see that happening. Nigel Farage in their imagination is a much bigger 0.99

00:43:33.100 threat than he actually is. Yeah. And the other thing as well is that because with the Labour

00:43:39.260 Party, Andy Burnham and, you know, his good chums like Wes Streeting are going to go there and

00:43:44.120 basically have to campaign on the platform of, look, we're going to oust Kia Starmer and save

00:43:50.940 the Labour Party. He's already said it. I've got a video of him on the street being like, yeah,

00:43:55.780 I'm here to say the Labour Party

00:43:56.880 and to make it for normal people again.

00:43:58.700 So why do I want to say the Labour Party?

00:43:59.840 Yeah, exactly.

00:44:00.720 This is exactly what I was going to say.

00:44:02.380 Not that I believe that he could.

00:44:04.040 No.

00:44:04.800 Not that for a second I believe that he could.

00:44:08.260 Why would I want to?

00:44:09.320 You know, even if you could, which you can't.

00:44:12.160 And for all the people saying,

00:44:13.620 well, it's merely a pipe dream,

00:44:15.120 it's just impossible that Restore Britain

00:44:17.460 could actually achieve this.

00:44:18.580 What they said about Great Yarmouth.

00:44:19.640 Yeah, it's like, well, I mean, I kind of like the odds.

00:44:23.280 I like the fact that we've only just begun.

00:44:25.780 uh in the weekend and we're already at seven to one down from 40 to one just a couple of days ago

00:44:32.340 i mean look at the conservatives at the bottom there 500 to one i mean the lib dems fine you

00:44:36.900 can completely understand but the conservatives remember won the north in 2019 i didn't want

00:44:42.480 makersfield um but they won the north generally and completely betrayed them and now they're

00:44:47.800 nothing 500 but yeah it's not happening like you know jacob rees mogg has come out like yeah we

00:44:51.840 shouldn't stand a candidate here we don't want to split the votes i don't think you would

00:44:55.860 i don't think it's too much for a worry mr mogg you're still here are you yeah but the greens

00:45:03.720 no chance even though they storm gordon and denton obviously the lib dems no one cares about

00:45:07.320 uh it's a three horse race and one of those horses is only two months old yes which is itself what's

00:45:16.300 scaring the bejesus out of them. That is why they're reacting so badly. If Restore win this,

00:45:21.740 it changes the conversation in all of British politics for the next three years and beyond.

00:45:26.600 Yeah. They are terrified. And they should be, because if we listen to local maker field man,

00:45:33.180 right, he has some thoughts that you can see the genuine optimism about the fact that Restore

00:45:38.000 Britain are running. So I've just got two clips from it. I think Rupert Law is brilliant. I think

00:45:41.980 He's everything we need.

00:45:43.540 He will change the future of this country for the better.

00:45:47.080 He isn't some guy who will just, you know, dance around the issues.

00:45:51.260 He hits him head on.

00:45:52.300 He hits him head on and says, this is the problem.

00:45:54.500 This is what we're going to fix, and we're going to fix it now.

00:45:57.300 And I can't fault the guy.

00:45:59.580 He is absolutely...

00:46:00.980 Nigel Farage turned around and said, we'll do the rape inquiry.

00:46:05.860 Oh, we can't do the rape inquiry.

00:46:07.180 And then Rupert goes, all right, we'll do it then.

00:46:10.460 and he did

00:46:11.260 and he did

00:46:12.080 and look what he's done

00:46:13.100 he has brought

00:46:13.820 everything

00:46:14.440 these horrible 1.00

00:46:15.560 wretched human beings 0.75

00:46:16.900 have done to these 0.98

00:46:17.840 beautiful innocent girls

00:46:19.980 and he's brought it

00:46:20.980 all to life

00:46:21.540 and I think

00:46:22.280 we need more of him

00:46:23.760 we need more people

00:46:24.880 like him

00:46:25.540 in power

00:46:26.440 we do

00:46:26.860 we do

00:46:27.720 so

00:46:28.240 you're a working man

00:46:29.340 this whole place 1.00

00:46:30.160 is filled with working class 1.00

00:46:31.440 proper people

00:46:33.300 as Rupert would say

00:46:34.160 what's your message

00:46:35.220 to the Labour Party

00:46:36.240 the party of the

00:46:37.040 working class people

00:46:37.820 I'll pause it here

00:46:39.840 Where do you get that kind of energy elsewhere?

00:46:41.480 Exactly.

00:46:42.460 And also as well...

00:46:43.440 Everybody else is holding their nose when they're voting.

00:46:45.820 Everybody else is holding their nose.

00:46:47.520 This is a movement to be proud of.

00:46:50.180 This chap gets to be interviewed there and say,

00:46:53.440 yeah, and look at these things he's already done.

00:46:55.900 He has examples of achievements,

00:46:57.860 some justices that Rupert has tried to correct,

00:47:00.340 that the people, the members...

00:47:01.720 And it's everywhere as well.

00:47:02.640 It's the FOI requests, it's the parliamentary notes,

00:47:05.080 it's the helping people in his actual constituency.

00:47:07.700 I'm going to get that BBC article

00:47:10.320 where they were trying to get bad things said

00:47:12.440 about Rupert Lowe and Great Yarmouth,

00:47:13.640 and all they got is,

00:47:14.560 oh yeah, he helped me with this problem I had for years

00:47:16.260 and no one had actually helped me with it.

00:47:17.460 And things like this, it's like,

00:47:18.300 yeah, he's actually doing the thing.

00:47:19.840 And that's all you have to do, just do the work.

00:47:21.360 Just do what you say you can do.

00:47:23.480 That's all you have to do.

00:47:25.060 But you can feel as well just how much this gentleman,

00:47:28.860 you can hear in his voice how long he's been waiting

00:47:31.000 to find this kind of representation in his politics.

00:47:34.980 and i think actually the chap hits on a really important angle to it all here and let's just

00:47:40.640 let him speak and not paying into it we're crippling we're crippling you got me myself

00:47:46.780 i've got mates in there there's other working men in here we all work all right we just work

00:47:52.140 all right so but yeah we're doing it and i sit back me now and i'm only 27 i've got two kids

00:47:58.080 i've got a beautiful missus at home and i love the life of them and no nice one man and i think

00:48:04.280 to myself what am i doing this for other than for them but yeah half of it's going to someone else

00:48:10.920 who's done nothing for the country done nothing for anybody else done nothing for any of these

00:48:15.420 fine gentlemen here they're just feeding off the system like leeches because that's what they are

00:48:20.520 leeches they're just feeding off the system while we feed them because that's what we're doing and

00:48:26.020 i sit there and i think why am i doing it anymore i might as well just figure out how you rig the

00:48:31.000 system say i've got some sort of formal depression and just claim pip because that's what everyone

00:48:35.840 else is doing but i won't because that's not who i am i've got honor i'm a man that's what we need

00:48:40.900 more of we need men we need real men to stand up and go you know what we need honor we need it now

00:48:46.960 more than ever and i think rupert lowe is an honorable man he stands there and he will change

00:48:51.920 the country and he will tell people enough is enough you're not feeding off the system anymore

00:48:56.000 he'll build infrastructure because i work in construction i need so you see that but i think

00:49:01.660 his rupert lowe is an honorable man and i think that that really cuts through actually also look

00:49:08.420 at the kind of people that are still attracting mums and dads yeah just mums and dads and i think

00:49:13.000 that's the key issue it what's been broken in britain in a very real sense is the generational

00:49:19.080 pact the older generation wasn't committed to it to delivering a better country for their actual

00:49:25.020 children they imported imagined children who hate them from all over the empire and decided that no

00:49:31.460 we're going to adopt them we're going to get vaccinated and sit in there you're going to get

00:49:36.140 vaccinated at the mosque we're all going to get vaccinated that's real britain yeah i mean yeah

00:49:42.480 exactly i mean that like you couldn't find someone who more exemplifies the sort of salt of the earth

00:49:46.720 north could you exactly perfect perfect sam gamji energy yeah yeah and so you know as far as i'm

00:49:53.780 concerned look this is it you know it's it's time it's time to campaign and it's time to go all in

00:50:01.560 as well everyone in on this right we need to be there we need to be campaigning we need to be

00:50:06.720 spreading the word as much as we can doing whatever we you individually feel is your role

00:50:12.460 in this movement to push it right so we're just like one one movement through into makers field

00:50:19.800 getting the the the message out there and i think we might surprise people we couldn't have been

00:50:26.860 gifted a more perfect opportunity honestly i know i know people like but but look at the last result

00:50:31.400 say yeah but look at the actual constituency look at what's actually there and you realize oh my god

00:50:36.800 this is just perfect ground i went through their page on the ons and it's mostly people with

00:50:42.700 families most mostly people with families uh mostly working with lower level at lower level

00:50:50.780 qualifications or no qualifications it's a typical working class left behind neighborhood 0.99

00:50:56.220 and you could see that these are guys who have decided we've made enough to go into 1.00

00:51:01.780 a suburb that escapes diversification yeah or an area in the north where we can work and escape

00:51:07.960 diversification for now for now and you can see that there are these new developments that are

00:51:13.840 coming up that are going to follow you with the diversification yes and what andy burn was

00:51:18.580 promising he's like no i'm going to build council houses like you've never seen he's like i don't 0.99

00:51:31.700 interviewed make his life harder yeah yes yeah and tell him it's good for him exactly yeah

00:51:36.780 understand it so it is the perfect constituency for it yeah it's a good constituency to run and

00:51:42.480 restore has the right kind of values when it comes to economic principles you get to keep

00:51:47.240 more of your own money and you don't have to subsidize the planet uh and your work will be

00:51:52.260 rewarded and we actually care about families and aren't insane we don't have people who are

00:51:57.160 confused about the nature of men and women yeah so get to it patriots uh rumble rants logan pine

00:52:03.940 says uh i saw a lot of the reform supporters going nuts over this i heard the new insults uh

00:52:10.640 i heard a new insult lotus munchers yeah that's old at this point the fact that they're going nuts

00:52:15.700 over it which they are yeah is the most you're going to split the vote all right so we're going

00:52:20.160 to get more than one percent then are we okay good to know yeah nicely a bit of honesty it is

00:52:25.100 schrodinger's party right it is the party that isn't going to go anywhere and is the party that

00:52:29.400 is going to split the vote it's going to ruin us what they're saying is you're going to ruin us

00:52:32.400 Yes, it's running a sparty.

00:52:33.740 No, no, we are going to ruin you, but by winning.

00:52:36.520 Like, that's how it's going to happen.

00:52:39.120 And we'll all be better for it.

00:52:41.180 Habsification says, fix the potholes, collect the bins,

00:52:43.940 clean up the rubbish, and clean up the graffiti.

00:52:46.560 Doing the most basic things for the local area can guarantee votes.

00:52:50.220 The graffiti's a great point as well.

00:52:51.960 I'm sick of seeing graffiti around Swindon, man.

00:52:54.300 See it everywhere, and it's new.

00:52:56.960 It's not a normal thing.

00:52:58.640 Swindon didn't used to have lots of graffiti around.

00:53:00.460 It's not art.

00:53:01.640 No, it's not.

00:53:02.220 Did you see at the hotel just by the spoons?

00:53:04.980 They just painted that, like, genuine, bright, vivid,

00:53:08.700 like, colourful mural.

00:53:10.640 And just someone had come and just graffited

00:53:12.760 over the entire thing.

00:53:14.860 It's just...

00:53:16.340 Also, inside baseball,

00:53:18.260 happen to know one of the Braverman's staff is...

00:53:21.320 See, is Watcher, well, based.

00:53:25.960 All right. Over to you, sir.

00:53:27.600 All right.

00:53:29.000 There is a deadly plague of racism affecting Britain.

00:53:32.220 And it's absolutely terrible.

00:53:34.960 But the issue is that it is the inverse of what the media says.

00:53:40.300 It is the natives getting killed at the hands of outsiders.

00:53:45.340 And yes, racism is lethal, especially when it's applied against the majority.

00:53:53.080 Just by weight of numbers, if you hate the majority and target them and allow their targeting,

00:53:59.860 you're going to get more victims than if it was against the minority and there is another example

00:54:06.040 of this um last december uh vikram digwa i think it was in 2023 actually i i thought it was last

00:54:15.300 i thought december 2024 um double check i guess okay fine fact checkers i might be wrong i'm not

00:54:21.700 Sure. Anyway, Vikram Digwa allegedly stabbed to death Henry Novak, who was a student studying

00:54:30.980 accountancy and finance, I believe, after he went on a night out and they bumped into each other in

00:54:36.640 the street. Now, Henry was walking around. He had drunk under the legal limit. It seems that he

00:54:45.820 accosted uh digua without saying anything insulting to him and then he got stabbed four times to death

00:54:56.760 he was talking on his phone on snapchat was talking on his phone snapchat and it was all

00:55:01.160 completely recorded and i want to go into the details of this and into the kind of training

00:55:06.840 that the hampshire police is involved in that led to some of the tragedies associated with this

00:55:15.260 writer just because a bunch of horrible things happened yeah it wasn't just that he was stabbed

00:55:19.460 just to be clear hampshire in the southwest of england is not the sort of place that's had a

00:55:23.760 huge amount of diversity doesn't have a huge amount of experience with it and actually it's

00:55:27.320 the sort of place that 10 years ago if you went on a night out nothing would happen no ever just

00:55:33.140 like swindon just like anywhere really yes southwest it was all very i mean uh wiltshire

00:55:38.980 was wiltshire is the safest place in the country and hampshire's like you know close second or

00:55:43.140 third or something right it's one of it's just you know mostly rural very normal settled old

00:55:49.380 england yep nothing happens here so let's look at some of the details um he was stabbed with an

00:55:57.100 eight inch um religious artifact yeah so for anyone who doesn't know the sikhs are a sort of

00:56:05.560 warrior sect against Islam, and so being armed at all times, was an article of faith, and so... 0.82

00:56:13.660 They're required to grow their hair, they're required to keep a comb, they're required to wear a turban, 0.78

00:56:18.660 and to always carry a knife. There's a fifth thing which I forgot, but this is sort of the religious

00:56:22.960 requirement. They believe that they're required to carry a knife with them at all times.

00:56:27.940 And so for religious exemption reasons, Sikhs can be armed, but you as an Englishman can't. 1.00

00:56:33.160 Yes. 1.00

00:56:35.560 And apparently he was wearing two knives, one a miniature, one as a necklace, and then the other one as a big one that he was carrying around.

00:56:43.320 So the reason they carry the one in the miniature of the necklace is to satisfy that religious duty.

00:56:48.620 Exactly.

00:56:49.260 Because actually the duty doesn't specify how big the knife must be.

00:56:52.540 Exactly.

00:56:52.840 So if you're carrying a little symbolic one, that satisfies the religious injunction.

00:56:57.160 So carrying the big one is done for the sake of being armed.

00:57:02.020 But it's allowed under the law. 0.96

00:57:04.060 it's allowed under the law to the extent that there are special exemptions for the Sikh from 0.98

00:57:11.600 the law that let them carry it so the criminal justice act and the offensive weapons act they 0.94

00:57:19.140 both have exemptions for Sikhs yes it's it's literally a racial privilege it is literally a 0.89

00:57:24.880 racial privilege there's no other way of describing it no I just don't know how else you would and 0.83

00:57:29.460 women cannot even legally carry pepper spray no no you can't be armed women can't carry pepper 0.80

00:57:35.300 spray but if you are from india and follow the see faith you can be armed in this country and 1.00

00:57:41.680 not only that schools and public institutions must respect this religious practice you can't 0.87

00:57:50.840 ban them from taking a knife to school so this is how absurd the situation of britain is and this is

00:57:58.220 very real racism really yeah yeah second-class citizenship exactly exactly exactly that thing

00:58:05.620 the labor party have been having a hissy fit about from the tommy robinson rally yeah yes yes

00:58:11.220 and so our second-class citizens stand up like this yeah yeah exactly and so henry was just sort

00:58:19.560 of murdered because he saw him carrying a knife and he jokingly said that you're a bad man and

00:58:26.300 And then afterwards, it was on the, like it was captured on the phone.

00:58:31.880 The stabbing was captured on the phone because he was Snapchatting with his friends.

00:58:39.480 The victim tried to run away.

00:58:42.260 And then the stabber, the alleged stabber, it's still under trial right now, followed him and stabbed him another couple of times.

00:58:49.480 Then the police show up.

00:58:52.420 and when the police show up um it seems that that there's some kind of break in the chain of events

00:59:01.540 as is being reported because here's what we know by the time the police show up the stabber's father

00:59:08.180 and brother are at the scene and his mother had already been filmed having taken the knife home

00:59:14.120 to hide it in a massive collection of weapons that they have at home so they knew what happened

00:59:20.320 So they knew what had happened.

00:59:21.700 They knew what had happened.

00:59:23.360 They were trying to cover it up for him.

00:59:25.480 And his father and brother, so his brother calls the police saying,

00:59:31.640 my brother was attacked, we're Sikh, we were turbans,

00:59:35.500 and that's why we were attacked, which wasn't the case in any way.

00:59:41.160 But it's a reason that they know the British state is very sympathetic towards.

00:59:46.160 Exactly.

00:59:46.760 So they know how to play the system.

00:59:48.780 They know who the system is for. They know how racist the system is in their favor.

00:59:56.900 The stabber himself took off his turban to make it appear as though Henry had tried to remove it in the incident.

01:00:05.020 And then when the police came, they handcuffed the stabbing victim.

01:00:10.120 And when he told them that he needed help, the stabber's father and brother both said that he was just pretending.

01:00:17.240 jesus christ that he hadn't been stabbed that he was just faking it

01:00:23.560 i didn't even know about that i did a video yeah and i guess that information's not it's

01:00:29.800 reported uh here yeah his father and brother end up saying that he was so here's what was said

01:00:39.980 in the video digva and his brother accused mr novak of racially and verbally attacking digva

01:00:46.740 Mr. Novak can be heard denying these claims.

01:00:49.920 So he was fighting for his life while fighting accusations of racism.

01:00:54.160 And look at his father, can be heard saying he's pretending.

01:00:56.220 Digwa was heard saying, no one stabbed you, bro.

01:00:59.360 You're up.

01:01:00.440 You're drunk. 0.56

01:01:01.500 You're effed up. 0.96

01:01:02.280 You're drunk. 0.98

01:01:03.260 Another video, Digwa's father is sending, he's pretending.

01:01:06.180 A minute ago, he was talking to you guys.

01:01:08.280 Now he's trying to get up and going to leave.

01:01:11.380 Mad. 0.92

01:01:11.820 and so you get i mean what what does the story say here there is this level of blind family

01:01:19.400 solidarity that doesn't in any way care for the welfare of anybody in the outsider group

01:01:26.560 you are the outsider group and they're all there when you get stabbed their family members will

01:01:33.580 break up tasks between them yeah the mother will take the knife and allegedly try to hide it at

01:01:38.720 home the father on video will lie and say he wasn't stabbed he's absolutely fine blood out

01:01:46.800 of his chest and his brother will call the police and say we were the ones who were attacked because

01:01:52.980 we're Sikh and we were turbans so the entire family ends up playing the racism game and playing

01:02:02.820 the system in order to get away with murdering something get away with murder literally to get

01:02:10.140 away with murder and no cobra meetings no emergency no condemnation from the prime minister

01:02:17.440 no no lobby groups to fight his corner you you want to know what you get you get a charity

01:02:23.680 football match i mean at least he got that frankly you got a charity football match where money is

01:02:29.800 raised for a bunch of random charities and we know they're all going to be left-wing yeah and

01:02:34.980 it's going to be b-rate uh stars going in to get their publicity up and 50 000 pounds will be

01:02:43.180 collected from the community to sort of spread it around for these various charities that's what you

01:02:49.020 get and so the the hampshire police is the one that is responsible for this but don't worry they

01:02:58.620 have an anti-racism action plan. They have an anti-racism action plan in which they explain

01:03:06.360 somewhere here the murder of George Floyd by serving police officers, plural, not one,

01:03:13.960 in the USA in 2020 was a pivotal moment for policing in the UK, driving the need for real

01:03:21.840 change. Whilst this tragic event happened in another country, policing across the UK

01:03:26.960 has over many years had a strained relationship with some communities.

01:03:34.000 Have they considered that those communities aren't interested in the general public good

01:03:41.900 and only in themselves?

01:03:44.340 Never. Because they go on and refer to a national police action plan

01:03:50.240 with a focus on taking care of the black community, but by their definition pretty much...

01:03:55.780 Black community in Hampshire?

01:03:57.580 There isn't.

01:03:58.740 Like, what are you talking about?

01:04:01.040 Here are the demographics of Hampshire.

01:04:03.360 Right.

01:04:04.360 According to the 2001 and bits of the 2011 census.

01:04:09.560 And really, it is just, you know, 85.6% or 86% white.

01:04:18.960 And there is 2.6% Asian and mixed race 1.4%.

01:04:24.520 I mean, I've got the 2021 census results, right?

01:04:28.760 90% of people were white, 5% of people were Asian, 2.2% mixed.

01:04:33.360 So the percentage of Asians doubled over the last 10 years.

01:04:36.540 But the percentage of black people doesn't register on the census.

01:04:39.700 It really doesn't.

01:04:40.920 But the Hampshire police is absolutely obsessed with the issue of George Floyd.

01:04:47.520 Sorry, if I may just say on this as well, 1.00

01:04:49.420 it's because they've just unthinkingly transplanted 0.52

01:04:54.520 this whole racial narrative from America and put it here and ultimately they're just so susceptible

01:05:01.320 to feeling guilty about the power put behind these narratives, even as the narratives are 0.67

01:05:08.600 expressly designed to actually make our lives more dangerous and the black community basically 0.95

01:05:16.600 to get off the leash, to get off the hook of the law and justice. 1.00

01:05:22.680 Yeah. I had to dig in. It was 1.6% in 2021, 4% in the UK, in England, Wales generally. So massively underrepresented. This is just not an issue that is going to come up in Hampshire. And yet George Floyd, George Floyd, unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

01:05:38.940 uh the police commits in hampshire commits itself to zero tolerance of racism

01:05:45.900 understanding and reducing our disproportionality using a reform or explain approach

01:05:53.360 so basically when you see massive over-representation of minority communities in crime 0.90

01:06:00.080 they've placed upon themselves an obligation to explain it away and to reduce it so the objective

01:06:07.300 of the police is here to arrest more white people, which is why the last words of Henry

01:06:13.480 Novak were probably him defending himself against allegations of racism after he was

01:06:20.280 stabbed while he was handcuffed by the police.

01:06:23.700 Because he was handcuffed and then he collapsed.

01:06:27.280 There was a blood trail on the floor.

01:06:30.000 The police apparently didn't notice it or were confused and didn't realize that he

01:06:35.820 needed aid.

01:06:36.480 or were completely ideologically captured and were like well look the racist is the bad person

01:06:41.500 i know who the racist is here the race he's got white skin exactly and therefore oh god please

01:06:47.640 tell me mr and mrs seek family about how he's the one who's done something wrong here i hate it

01:06:53.700 but the thing that really annoys me about this is it preloads any kind of interaction with

01:07:03.700 the assumption that the white person is in the role yes that's the point of this that is the

01:07:08.160 objective here the objective is yep the minority is automatically assumed to be innocent the white

01:07:13.460 person is automatically assumed to be guilty and that's the perspective we have going on and that's

01:07:18.140 why you're a second-class citizen in this country yes that's what they do professionally that's the 0.76

01:07:23.340 system that's the institutions because a black guy in america overdosed on fentanyl yes oh brilliant 0.99

01:07:29.880 Unbelievable. And you see this as well in Starmer and the Labour Party's reaction to the Unite the Kingdom rally as well. It's exactly the same thing. It's like, no, no, no, there is nothing that you, little Mr. English serf, there's no grievance you could possibly have with any of the foreign groups or diasporas within Britain who have no hostile will to you whatsoever, who would never do anything to harm you, who would never exploit a system to disadvantage you or put you in danger. 0.99

01:07:58.540 when it's obviously false time and time again.

01:08:02.460 And moreover, you're not entitled to representation.

01:08:05.140 Look who we're representing here.

01:08:06.680 Look who we recognise as being important.

01:08:09.280 Look who's the Jewish community, the Muslim community.

01:08:12.500 The anonymous majority don't even get named.

01:08:17.280 No, no, you're just the silent majority.

01:08:19.800 You don't exist, really.

01:08:21.080 You're outside, you're out of mind. 0.90

01:08:23.080 Any community that is not you is recognised

01:08:26.840 and given this kind of preferential treatment,

01:08:29.140 you are the thing that is being acted against.

01:08:31.700 Yes.

01:08:32.020 So just deal with it.

01:08:33.020 And the thing about this kind of policy here from the police

01:08:37.120 is that it doesn't require any kind of balance.

01:08:40.260 So if you're in, again, anywhere in the Middle East,

01:08:44.920 there is a sense that if you're a minority government,

01:08:48.760 for example, in Iraq or in Syria or in Lebanon,

01:08:51.660 you've got to be worried about the other groups

01:08:53.920 that you're in control of. 0.98

01:08:56.000 And so the Syrian government would always be terrified of the Sunnis and would try to throw some bones towards them in terms of ideology, in terms of development projects, in terms of whatever. 0.87

01:09:06.460 There is zero concern here towards the whites to the extent that the police will find a man who is bleeding and their first reaction is to handcuff him for racism. 0.89

01:09:17.760 Oh, the magic words have been spoken.

01:09:19.280 Handcuff him.

01:09:19.940 He's dying.

01:09:20.480 Don't care.

01:09:21.200 That's it.

01:09:22.140 Instantly.

01:09:22.640 Yeah.

01:09:23.540 And so one wonders, when was Digva actually handcuffed?

01:09:27.800 Was he actually handcuffed?

01:09:30.400 The chain of events here, there's a bunch of gaps in what is being reported from the courts.

01:09:36.820 When did he call his family?

01:09:38.640 When did they show up?

01:09:42.160 And why didn't the father and brother who tried to misrepresent facts to the police face any consequences?

01:09:50.820 for their participation in murder?

01:09:53.620 Why was it only the mother?

01:09:54.880 They're literally accessories to it. 0.90

01:09:55.840 They're literally accessories.

01:09:57.020 Literal accessories.

01:09:57.600 His mom, his brother, his dad.

01:09:59.800 And the fact that your family will instantly agree to this,

01:10:03.600 when you compare this with a story about the Charlie Kirk shooting,

01:10:07.500 where essentially the father got his son to hand himself in.

01:10:10.380 Yeah.

01:10:10.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:12.240 When you compare these two moral systems,

01:10:16.220 what you understand is that this moral system is entirely alien.

01:10:20.820 because you can do no wrong you can do no wrong you could kill a guy and the police and your

01:10:29.600 family will pretend that he wasn't actually stabbed he's just pretending and this is the 0.98

01:10:35.800 power that it has as they are simply minorities so what power could there be had when it's a

01:10:42.000 majority what do you think happens to us when we're the minority if this is how they treat us

01:10:46.780 now yeah it's it's i mean the reaction of the family was genuinely insane yeah yeah i mean

01:10:54.380 that's demented to just go and hide it with a bunch of other knives and hope that the house 0.96

01:10:59.360 wouldn't be searched it's insane and retarded yeah let's pretend that he's faking it oh he died 0.98

01:11:05.260 oh well he's really convincing what where are you going with this you know what's the best possible 0.99

01:11:11.420 outcome you're envisaging not only are they retarded they're evil yeah yeah yeah and you see 1.00

01:11:19.500 the police's top concern here improving outcomes and support for ethnic minority victims of crime 1.00

01:11:25.920 why not the other way around when you look at data i mean you want to just have victims of crime

01:11:32.280 why have ethnic minority there yes why not just have improving outcomes support for victims of

01:11:37.800 crime that would be how i would have it because that would be sensible but my favorite two are

01:11:43.620 recruiting retaining and progressing a representative workforce ah yes in hampshire in hampshire now

01:11:51.440 to the extent that these people could be included under the umbrella of making hampshire more

01:11:59.720 representative well in anybody with that moral system shouldn't be anywhere near the policing 1.00

01:12:05.720 system well also implicit within that is actually these minority communities don't don't consent to 1.00

01:12:11.920 being policed by the english yes is what it's saying we need all the minorities to police them 0.97

01:12:16.920 because they don't want to be policed by the native population so there's a recognition they 1.00

01:12:21.900 shouldn't be here no there's a recognition of a national claim here that they're a different

01:12:27.120 nation but it only goes one way as with all of these things and the second mandating and developing

01:12:35.040 a culture that supports and values all of its workforce hold on what does that do to your own

01:12:43.760 culture because to the extent that you support the values of the digva family allegedly you have a

01:12:54.840 very real problem here you have a disastrous situation here but what i find really interesting

01:13:02.220 about this is it's the the same old sort of woke progressive rhetoric that assumes things only go

01:13:08.780 one way yes so we want a workforce that truly reflects and represents changing communities

01:13:13.100 itself well hampshire has become more white as people have fled from london yes to the the shires

01:13:20.060 so for every 10 people in hampshire nine of them are white english yes one of them is a foreigner

01:13:26.480 so for every 10 police officers nine of them have to be english and one of them has to be some 0.73

01:13:31.000 randomly allocated foreigner yes from one of your minority groups because they are an just an

01:13:36.620 absolute minority there so like for example for every for every 20 you'd have one asian 0.76

01:13:42.880 and for every basically a hundred you'd have a black it's like right so you basically have an

01:13:48.640 almost entirely homogenous police force there right so going like oh we want representation

01:13:55.160 no no you have it because you've got a white english police force and hampshire is white

01:13:59.340 English. You have it already. You know, this is all like American ideology. Because George Floyd 0.92

01:14:04.740 has been punching their brains going, we need Browns, we need Browns. Yep. It's nonsense.

01:14:09.280 But you aren't part of the concern. No, no, no. You're just sort of erased completely from this

01:14:13.700 list of concerns. They genuinely couldn't care less. Sorry, to go back to what I was saying

01:14:18.940 about trying to create some sort of like mandate for all of the cultures who are going to be a

01:14:23.220 part of the police force. It's like, okay, but what if some of those like minority cultures 0.96

01:14:27.600 are in favour of turning a blind eye to crime, for an example, 1.00

01:14:32.560 and trying to be explicit in hiding it

01:14:35.000 in order to protect their own ethno-religious identities.

01:14:38.060 Yeah. 0.52

01:14:38.640 As we have just seen with this story, eventually.

01:14:41.160 You get people claiming on video, recorded on video,

01:14:45.780 saying, no, no, no, he wasn't stabbed, he's just pretending.

01:14:50.400 If the police believed this, what would have been your plan?

01:14:53.060 Did it just make the body disappear?

01:14:54.760 Yeah, but just go, oh, OK, then we're just going to leave.

01:14:56.740 evil

01:15:01.960 anyway

01:15:02.740 you know the Sikh population of Hampshire is 0.6%

01:15:06.620 in Southampton

01:15:09.000 it must be like 0.1%

01:15:10.560 0.2% 0.99

01:15:11.620 that must be like the only Sikh family

01:15:14.540 in that entire city

01:15:16.260 maybe yeah

01:15:17.220 quite plausibly

01:15:18.260 genuinely

01:15:19.680 one of maybe one or two families

01:15:22.840 in the entire city

01:15:23.920 And now a man who has his entire life ahead of him doesn't get to have it. 0.98

01:15:31.120 And it seems, I mean, if you look here, I think, on the legality of it, everybody has decided to give the Sikhs an exemption. 0.99

01:15:43.580 Yeah.

01:15:44.140 So the Australians were sued over this issue.

01:15:49.600 Now they're saying it shouldn't have any sharp edges, etc.

01:15:53.920 But, you know, the Supreme Court of Queensland found that banning the knives actually contravened the Racial Discrimination Act.

01:16:04.120 Okay.

01:16:04.980 In Belgium, a court of appeal decided that carrying this knife was legal and you can't be fined for carrying a knife.

01:16:13.880 In Canada, it's allowed.

01:16:16.260 I'll tell you, when we win, we're just going to get rid of these anti-discrimination laws.

01:16:19.360 Yes.

01:16:19.940 It really is the only way.

01:16:21.420 I mean, Rupert Lowe's already said, no more halal or kosher slaughter. 0.99

01:16:24.440 And we're like, yeah, no more kerpan. 1.00

01:16:26.140 So, you know, if that's not acceptable for you to live here, then that's fine. 1.00

01:16:29.520 You make your decisions as you want.

01:16:31.380 This is how we want our country to be run.

01:16:33.960 Yep. 0.98

01:16:36.340 India, obviously.

01:16:40.040 Sweden banned sweet weapons, but, you know, there's a gray area for them.

01:16:45.640 England, it's allowed.

01:16:46.620 Even then, none of this was ever necessary.

01:16:48.440 like i when i was a kid i used to carry around a lock knife because we'd go camping or we'd go

01:16:54.840 into the forest and like cut sticks and you know like sharpen with spears and then pretend to be

01:17:01.400 in fights like in a battle or something you know we like you know when you're like 12 or 13 or

01:17:06.440 something you know you just do normal behave like a boy yeah yeah we all had knives like it was

01:17:11.340 totally normal to have a knife because you might want to make a trap or something you know for

01:17:15.400 which would never catch anything but like you'd want to do something i made a bow yeah exactly

01:17:19.740 i make a bow or whatever you know like it's carrying a knife is not a problem or it never

01:17:23.860 used to be it's it it it's like the knife doesn't have a will of its own yeah yeah it's like the

01:17:30.380 knife is an inanimate object but it's people who actually matter anyway that's it for me all right

01:17:37.860 um from cranky texan for five dollars says i don't want britain to take ceremonial daggers

01:17:43.420 away from Sikhs, what I want is a religious

01:17:45.560 exemption for my ceremonial 1.00

01:17:47.720 AR-15 when I visit.

01:17:49.560 Well, where's our religious exemption 1.00

01:17:50.860 for the Sayaks, right? Like, you know, the 1.00

01:17:53.320 Saxons. Come on, I want my bloody giant 0.99

01:17:55.300 ceremonial nut. Where's the exemption for 0.96

01:17:57.300 the cane sword, so we can go around like 0.96

01:17:59.100 Victorian gentlemen?

01:18:01.700 Absolutely. Do we have 1.00

01:18:03.140 video comments, Samson?

01:18:06.000 Alright, some kind of

01:18:07.360 Templar order. Would we then all be

01:18:09.320 allowed to carry swords? It's literally

01:18:11.280 the name saxon we're literally named after the giant knife we used to carry around like sorry

01:18:17.320 and that's that's that's 2 000 years ago you know like that's so much longer yeah i mean the seat

01:18:23.920 religion it was what 1500s 1600s not even that i think i think it was like 17 1800s so it's just

01:18:30.120 like i don't even know but like it's not that long ago and so it's like well hang on a second

01:18:34.600 if someone's got an ancestral claim here

01:18:36.460 to being armed

01:18:38.040 Right, let's click play

01:18:42.640 Samson

01:18:43.040 Any sound? No, but that is an adorable

01:18:48.720 kitten

01:18:49.060 I do love kittens. Yeah, me too

01:18:52.160 They're hilarious. They're genuinely some of the

01:18:54.360 funniest creatures in all of

01:18:56.420 creation

01:18:56.840 Oh, it's adorable. I love doing the little thing where you're holding

01:19:00.420 them and you're like, ooh, and they grab

01:19:02.260 your fingers as you get their belly

01:19:04.180 it's adorable it's really adorable the funniest things i saw was uh

01:19:09.960 my grandma's kitten falling asleep on a tennis ball that was almost bigger than it

01:19:15.500 it sort of played so hard and then hugged it and fell asleep on it like oh

01:19:20.200 something okay next one oh dear

01:19:24.900 the only thing that matters is developing our economy deploying our military and beating the

01:19:33.480 shit out of the people on the other side of the field how do you intend on topping that bold of

01:19:38.800 you to assume i'm a top at all but the answer is quite simple i will be babysitting 50 children 0.97

01:19:43.860 over the next couple days our baby containment center started to take form it's surprising just

01:19:48.920 how much you can get done when you work 24 hours a day stopping only to eat and play horseshoes

01:19:54.360 what i'm so confused yeah i was flattered thank you but uh okay next round of cats please

01:20:07.620 peter purr the world famous banana cat like i'll address a disturbing ai video made of him

01:20:15.960 recently of him apparently controlling Keir Starmer,

01:20:20.880 the current prime minister.

01:20:23.060 These are face and vile allegations.

01:20:27.440 He does not control Keir Starmer,

01:20:30.700 or he is controlled by Big Tuna or Big Chicken.

01:20:34.360 He is, however, a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine.

01:20:38.880 And you've got to explain what the black bits on your screen are,

01:20:42.500 like on the camera.

01:20:43.360 Yes, I don't know.

01:20:44.960 35mm classic film

01:20:47.420 I'll tell you what, that cat's got more costumes

01:20:49.500 and I've got waistcoats

01:20:50.920 it's terrific

01:20:51.980 Oh, Zesty, go on then

01:20:54.160 Hey loads, Seaters, I'm here today in Coventry

01:20:56.960 for some reason 0.89

01:20:58.220 This is the remains of an Ulms house

01:21:00.880 from 1509, the year

01:21:02.900 Henry VIII came to the throne

01:21:04.400 and these are the ruins

01:21:06.580 of old Coventry Cathedral

01:21:09.140 destroyed

01:21:10.600 in World War II by the Germans 1.00

01:21:12.820 honestly it's nice that you went to the new coventry cathedral without the muslims being 1.00

01:21:24.580 there the coventry cathedral holds like iftar events and stuff like that 1.00

01:21:29.780 i haven't submitted in a while so i crave a little indulgence to let this comment breathe

01:21:36.520 largely people understand that tolkien didn't write allegory but history it seems to me that

01:21:41.140 few to none understand that his history is of people undergoing the trials of events.

01:21:45.520 That's why his is so compelling, and others are comparatively weak. They write of events,

01:21:49.940 and the characters are only there to drag events forwards. It's far worse in the realm of science

01:21:54.120 fiction, where even authors such as Asimov or Herbert creates vast tranches of future history

01:21:59.020 filled with events and recurring characters simply fulfilling those events. Then there's Heinlein.

01:22:04.140 If you've only watched the Starship Troopers film, then I pity you, because the novel is a superb

01:22:08.400 study of responsibility, even if taken on reluctantly. His book The Past Through Tomorrow

01:22:13.420 is a collection of short stories building his universe from post-World War II through

01:22:17.320 to the far future with a host of characters seeking to exploit events or save themselves

01:22:21.760 worthy of the Silmarillion. Few writers would engage in stories of setting up companies

01:22:26.360 to colonise the planets, and then a tale of the attempt to rescue a little blind girl

01:22:30.420 lost on the surface of the moon.

01:22:33.400 I'll certainly get round to doing High Nine on Chronicles at some point, I promise you

01:22:37.300 that.

01:22:37.800 That'll be fun.

01:22:38.400 Michael says

01:22:41.100 come on Keir

01:22:41.680 call these patriots out

01:22:42.740 dissolve parliament

01:22:43.420 and demand a general election

01:22:44.760 to be honest with you

01:22:46.040 too soon man

01:22:46.840 no no Keir

01:22:47.400 you've got to resist

01:22:48.440 you've got to hold off

01:22:49.340 the rebels

01:22:50.340 we believe in you

01:22:51.300 yeah

01:22:51.720 the memes have been so funny

01:22:53.820 oh my god

01:22:54.580 this is so funny

01:22:55.320 how like

01:22:55.800 Keir Starmer's most fervent supporters

01:22:57.740 are the far right online

01:22:58.960 yeah that's the thing

01:23:00.160 it's like why are you booing us

01:23:01.260 why are you doing this

01:23:01.960 we're trying to save your career

01:23:03.540 Domi

01:23:03.920 have you not walked online

01:23:07.640 And we're your guys, Keir.

01:23:09.120 The Starm Troopers are on the march, Keir.

01:23:12.540 Ben says, I wish Starm had banned the Unite the Kingdom rally. 0.58

01:23:16.280 Having Tommy humiliate British nationalism by making it into a multiracial,

01:23:20.540 universalist Christian revival movement is such a detriment to us. 0.79

01:23:23.480 Well, you know, I'm not a huge fan of the inclusivity of it either. 1.00

01:23:29.780 But to be honest with you, it's where the normal people are, right?

01:23:34.060 And they get to meet each other at the rally as well.

01:23:36.660 like the thing is this kind of very sort of um refined opinion that you find on twitter or

01:23:45.860 elsewhere online is not where the average person is right the average person is like well obviously

01:23:50.520 i don't hate all of these people but i can feel that i'm losing my country and tommy is just

01:23:55.320 reflecting that back at the population but if you actually go there you'll realize it is like 99

01:24:01.420 percent english so you know this is where the english people are so you know i don't think we

01:24:06.800 can be too angry at it i think uh that's a random name says uh it was nice that a few brits were

01:24:13.080 allowed to talk about the plight of their nation at the united wakanda rally my goodness lots of

01:24:16.900 people angry about this um but to be honest with you again it's like the point of it is to not look 0.97

01:24:25.980 like a fucking nazi rally like you know it the point of it is to show that it is non-threatening 0.94

01:24:33.400 and it is the normal people of the country who have been given permission to resist the political 0.99

01:24:36.460 system and if you take the incredibly refined position of online and try and translate that

01:24:42.460 into real life is not gonna have good optics frankly and it'll be it's it's like the the media

01:24:49.580 reporting is not even bad anymore right it's not even bad because it's just too obvious that

01:24:55.960 there's normal people doing this and that's against their hopes to find something bad oh yeah

01:25:00.620 they're desperate to yeah they're desperate to and it's better that it is the normal people being

01:25:04.820 normal which means not being a very online person who thinks about racial issues frankly i hate to

01:25:12.120 say it but you know uh kia wishes he was as intimidating as a paper tiger instead of his 0.98

01:25:17.480 reality being the shadow of a crab louse um sure but like the thing is kia is also quite a ruthless 0.99

01:25:25.340 bastard frankly uh it's you know like genuinely that's why i like him yeah i i i i wouldn't want 0.97

01:25:33.740 to be in his sights frankly because he'll he's no mercy at all so he's not actually that weak

01:25:41.240 to be honest um steve says i loathe the whole your leader doesn't have a profile but our opposition

01:25:47.440 uses yeah we aren't a presidential democracy we should be focusing on the local candidates and

01:25:51.440 their character and their profile political parties aren't cults well some aren't cults

01:25:55.800 um they're real institutes with the real ability to change things um yeah the thing is um people

01:26:03.120 forget that two-thirds of people literally hate farage they genuinely hate farage uh they don't

01:26:09.100 like his attitude they don't like his sort of jack the lad cavalier um sort of performances

01:26:14.820 uh okay a third of people might be brought in by it but you've got a lot of people who just

01:26:19.380 don't like Farage

01:26:20.200 on character grounds

01:26:21.460 and you can see this

01:26:22.600 John Cleese

01:26:23.620 is a great example

01:26:24.320 of this

01:26:24.660 loves Rupert Lowe

01:26:25.840 despises Nigel Farage

01:26:27.660 it's like

01:26:28.320 I mean

01:26:29.100 politically

01:26:29.780 okay Rupert's

01:26:31.220 slightly to the right

01:26:32.000 of Nigel

01:26:32.600 until tomorrow

01:26:33.820 when Nigel's like

01:26:34.600 oh I have to say

01:26:35.100 something right wing

01:26:35.740 but politically

01:26:36.880 they're not terribly

01:26:37.580 different which is why

01:26:38.300 they were in the same party

01:26:39.160 but it's a question

01:26:39.940 of character

01:26:40.560 and having

01:26:41.880 being known

01:26:42.620 for having like a

01:26:43.700 a boozy

01:26:44.800 character

01:26:45.820 you know

01:26:46.560 sort of like a 0.99

01:26:47.100 womanizing character 0.99

01:26:47.960 yeah

01:26:49.380 not great you know anyway it's not what the moment calls for yeah michael says uh oddly i

01:26:56.720 see restore is what maga was supposed to be uh yeah that's exactly right and that's why

01:27:01.640 farage can be left holding the maga hat basically uh that's not what we need for here and you know

01:27:07.840 sorry no this is going to be a very british oh profoundly uprising only uh i'd like to help but

01:27:15.240 makefield seems hard to get to from wherever you start it takes as long as great yarmouth from

01:27:19.520 london um yes but again about left behind areas well that's what they look like they're left

01:27:25.920 behind for a reason yeah exactly um john says i speaking as a resident of makefield i must say

01:27:32.440 any party that even bothered to campaign in this district would be ahead of the crowd i've lived

01:27:36.200 here 50 years and been campaigned to just once we are a cautionary tale about taking votes for

01:27:40.940 you know that this is this this is just a it's a great point but it's also a profound uh problem

01:27:50.420 across the country like we've been we've been doing a bit of uh leafleting for swindon uh for

01:27:56.500 restore and we're finding areas of swindon that you can tell that no one's ever been here right

01:28:01.820 no one's ever come and campaigned here i'm like okay we will then you know these people can vote

01:28:06.500 we're going to do it and they you know they deserve representation and i really hope that

01:28:11.380 something similar happens in makers field really hope it does i i think the um the complete

01:28:16.920 breakdown i mean when campaigners do visit makers field this time because they will

01:28:22.520 in huge numbers it should be noted that the only reason they're visiting is because restore is

01:28:29.740 going there yeah yeah if reform could get away with not campaigning they would ignore it

01:28:35.400 yeah labor took it for granted forever until pretty much the vote the the brexit campaign

01:28:40.780 now people are coming back because finally rupert lowe has raised raised the banner and said

01:28:46.840 let's do this you saw this with reforms local elections i think they underperformed because

01:28:51.840 where was the campaigning we didn't see any campaigners in swindon yeah but you'd have

01:28:57.080 expected in the middle of swindon to have seen a big reform uh marquee setup where you know half a

01:29:03.140 dozen or a dozen reform uh members and activists would be handing out leaflets or something just

01:29:08.460 doing something to raise money you know reform are running in this area vote for us guys nothing

01:29:12.640 happened yes no one got a knock on the door nothing and it's like why not you're aren't

01:29:17.800 you meant to be the ascendant party don't you want to win taking the fight to the establishment

01:29:21.520 yeah yeah don't you want to win and they did nothing because there's nothing to fight for

01:29:25.060 that's the the robert jemrick's legacy yeah exactly that's what we're fighting for exactly

01:29:30.360 exactly if you're going to burn shoe rubber you've got it you will do it for something to fight for

01:29:35.240 yeah yeah no it's totally true uh bang says restore running in mayfield is win-win if restore win then

01:29:40.740 it's a huge boost to the party if restore split the vote and labor win then burnham throws the

01:29:44.260 party into civil war and crashes it the worst outcome is reform win and boost forage and becomes

01:29:49.240 pm and then we get the forage wave yeah to be honest with you i agree i don't i just don't want

01:29:53.560 reform to win like again because the thing about reform winning is it's just more managed decline

01:30:28.080 so a potential Reform UK candidate stabbed a man

01:30:31.140 and said the victim was just faking, bro.

01:30:34.260 Surely the police should be expected to check for a stab wound

01:30:37.500 because he was saying that he was stabbed

01:30:39.260 and the neighbours heard that he was screaming and stabbed.

01:30:39.960 There must have been blood pouring.

01:30:41.320 Yes, I know.

01:31:25.560 whom I refuse to engage in political discussions 0.84

01:31:35.780 I'm no good at verbalizing my arguments,

01:31:37.520 so I remain silent on the matter,

01:31:39.120 but I know in my heart what the issue is,

01:31:40.720 and Novak's death is proof.

01:31:42.560 What you could do if you really wanted to make him

01:31:45.240 have to defend his position 1.00
