The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1430

00:00:00.000 Hi folks, welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Monday the 1st of June 2026. I'm

00:00:04.860 John Byfuris and Callum Barker and today we're going to be talking about how Restore Britain

00:00:09.640 is going mainstream, which is some good news. The French diversity football riots, have I got 0.99

00:00:15.900 that correct? Yes. I saw it coming up on my timeline. You have to celebrate football and

00:00:19.960 you have to celebrate diversity and when the two go together, riots ensue. Then we're going to be 1.00

00:00:25.040 talk about how israel has banned hassan piker from britain has it no oh but that's that's the

00:00:33.320 narrative they're running with right because they don't know why britain bans people but we do

00:00:38.200 because we've had lots of friends acquaintances and very strange people banned from this country

00:00:43.100 for a whole manner of reasons and so we'll be going through that as well um but before we begin

00:00:47.740 at 3.30, is it?

00:00:50.160 Or 3?

00:00:50.580 3 o'clock on the website.

00:00:53.260 Firas is doing his Realpolitik

00:00:54.780 about the year 2030.

00:00:58.360 At least it's going to get considerably worse

00:01:01.860 than the 2030s.

00:01:03.640 And you thought it was bad now?

00:01:05.020 No, no.

00:01:06.280 These were the peaceful years.

00:01:07.480 Ah.

00:01:08.420 Yes.

00:01:09.100 It never gets any better over that, does it? 0.99

00:01:12.080 Not until there's either an Ottoman Empire 0.94

00:01:14.840 or a Persian Empire 0.98

00:01:15.940 and one of them wins.

00:01:17.740 of course or an israeli empire but that is the great thing about the middle east is it's got

00:01:23.500 such a long history that whatever is happening now has definitely happened in the past exactly

00:01:29.420 and you've got some real sort of uh solid bullet points when you're drawing a police site it was

00:01:34.300 good here it was not good for almost any other time it was good there though so yeah reading

00:01:39.820 up on the persian siege of basara in 1780 something oh yeah and it's sort of like yeah

00:01:45.100 well, nothing's changed. Anyway, right, let's get on with it. So, Rupert Lowe and the Restored

00:01:52.680 Britain Party had our branch organiser meeting in London on Saturday. As you can see, I wasn't

00:01:58.920 there for this photo, actually. I had a little bit early, but I was there. That's a lot of

00:02:03.420 branches around the country, isn't it, being organised. And as you can see, they're just

00:02:10.300 normal people middle class middle-aged and really really sick of it really sick of how everything

00:02:18.700 is going and so this is actually quite a difficult thing to attack narratively so what's happening

00:02:25.660 here well you have a successful businessman who got elected to parliament backstabbed and has now

00:02:31.400 decided the entire political system is the problem because half the country basically doesn't vote

00:02:36.960 and isn't engaged and so what he's doing is gathering half the part uh half the country

00:02:41.780 because he's actually going to represent them in parliament yep the disaffected people of the

00:02:48.420 country who are like well this system doesn't work for me his his message has been basically

00:02:52.320 yes i know and we can fix it in fact we have to fix it yes how everybody looks well dressed

00:02:58.960 normal totally normal groomed yeah um it's smart it's just everyday people as you said there's no

00:03:05.800 cranks or weirdos and um no well apart from the chap at the front there's no like crazy hair no

00:03:12.340 even then he's i think he's like a teenager you know i i dyed my hair green when i was 16

00:03:18.680 yeah because i was a 16 year old never died my hair i've been 16 you know well you earned 16 in

00:03:25.660 the 90s that's true um but the point being it's a very normal party and that's just what it comes

00:03:32.280 down to it's mums and dads who are very disappointed with the way the country's going and it's been

00:03:37.100 gaining a bit of attention recently but the good thing about it is that the narratives are actually

00:03:41.220 quite hard to try and pin down i mean we had brendan o'neill last week calling us uh incels

00:03:48.280 and geeks and total war players which i mean okay maybe total war player and geek i'll own but

00:03:53.840 for most of us this has not been the case we're just relatively normal people who are really

00:03:58.980 dissatisfied about the state of the country and so last week we had a slew of attacks and then

00:04:03.160 over the weekend we had another slew of attacks but none of these narratives are landing and i

00:04:08.160 really enjoy i mean like we'll go through some of the media um some of the dimensions of the media

00:04:13.920 to give you sort of like high middle and low um perspective on where the attack's coming from so

00:04:19.520 you've got the sort of plebeian media like the sun uh reform fears by election blowers right wing

00:04:25.900 rival restore hoovers up support and crucial showdown and labor so they're talking about

00:04:29.560 makerfield obviously and the fact that they the that one particular poll the salvation poll that

00:04:35.600 the times commission from 359 people in makerfield um which was about two weeks ago now so before

00:04:43.180 the campaigning even started so it's not fair to like to compare it to what the data shows on the

00:04:48.780 ground you know but it might actually be to our advantage because restore have had the most

00:04:54.400 activist i mean you've been up on the ground at makefield fantastic what can you give us a rough

00:04:59.280 estimate of the number of people that you spoke to that were favorable to result well when i go

00:05:03.380 out uh canvassing or door knocking and asking people for the data unfortunately majority of

00:05:07.760 the time people don't open the door so it's difficult to get an accurate grasp on what they

00:05:12.240 think but i think the establishment reform i think everyone's in for a real shock because

00:05:17.180 even i was surprised going up there i was like no it's over it's not going to be great why why

00:05:22.140 Why are we getting involved in this by-election?

00:05:24.640 But I tell you what, when you actually go doorknocking,

00:05:26.960 it does build your confidence.

00:05:28.240 There is a silent majority of people out there.

00:05:30.760 And I've got to say, we've got an unprecedented amount of support.

00:05:34.300 And I think the establishment are going to be shocked on polling day.

00:05:38.420 I really hope so.

00:05:39.700 And we're still more than two weeks out from the actual election as well.

00:05:43.720 So, well, nearly three weeks out from the election still.

00:05:47.240 And so it's not like there isn't plenty of time for people to go to Makefield,

00:05:50.780 which you should do, by the way.

00:05:52.140 and help out we're going to be sending folks up there next week and get out on the ground spread

00:05:56.980 the word because i they're clinging to this particular poll and they're like look restore

00:06:01.820 britain's only on seven percent it's like well hang on a second this is a very young party having

00:06:05.820 seven percent already is going to ruin reform's chances there if not worse further down the line

00:06:12.260 so basically what i'm saying is i think that poll's going to inflict a kind of um blindness

00:06:17.200 on them where they're not gonna they're gonna say oh no it's just seven percent because they

00:06:21.680 want it to just be seven percent i think it i think i agree with you i've heard this from many

00:06:27.240 different sources not restore sources either that the support up there has been a lot better than

00:06:32.140 they expected so uh anyway the express of course same uh sort of narrative with the seven percent

00:06:38.040 poll which is great um which is like i said all good for us because we want them to be as blind

00:06:46.240 sided by this as possible. But as you can see, it's like, oh, Rupert Lowe's kind of infuriating

00:06:51.140 Farage, they make it all drama. And the Mirror went with the same one, but it could cost reform

00:06:56.620 70 seats in the next election if this sort of polling is consistent and maintained throughout

00:07:03.620 the country, which is great. I mean, one of the great things about this Mirror article is

00:07:10.560 because they appreciate that Rupert Lowe is the sort of up-and-coming force in British politics,

00:07:15.560 they understand that a lot of their

00:07:17.380 they want to talk about it because it's all on their Twitter

00:07:19.700 feeds, it's all on their social media and they know

00:07:21.640 oh everyone's talking about this, right here we've got to talk

00:07:23.840 about it. But what they then

00:07:25.680 have to do is understand, oh no a lot of our audience

00:07:27.620 won't know who this is but we want to condemn

00:07:29.800 him so we've got to explain to our audience

00:07:31.920 who this is. And

00:07:33.420 so they post bits like this

00:07:35.920 his new outfit is far more extreme

00:07:37.860 than reform with promises to

00:07:39.840 deport millions of people. Policies

00:07:41.920 include abolishing the asylum system altogether

00:07:44.040 abolishing inheritance tax scrapping foreign aid and using the money spent on diversity and

00:07:48.100 inclusivity programs to fund the armed forces instead it also strengthened the teaching of 0.67

00:07:52.040 our christian heritage ban the burka holder binding referendum on restoring the death penalty

00:07:55.800 what a superb advert that sounds fantastic i'm burning for that guy you know and hold on this

00:08:03.520 is the attack or the promo well that's that's the point that rupert's making here okay just

00:08:09.500 describing our policies is basically the kiss of death for the mainstream because all of these

00:08:15.180 things there's been polling done on or every single thing here and people are overwhelmingly

00:08:19.940 in support of it all it's so so good i mean it's a policy exactly yes absolutely so sorry so do you

00:08:27.700 want axel rubikana dead or do you want him throwing hot water at prison guards every single

00:08:32.460 day and attacking them this is literally the point that rupelo has made you know seriously

00:08:37.120 but sorry go on no no it's absolutely true and um yeah it's just like did we write that or did

00:08:43.680 they it's it's just popular policy and yeah no you're right that that sounds like that could

00:08:50.100 have come from our website the the thing is uh mass deportations of millions of people what does

00:08:55.420 that do lower housing prices less traffic accidents increase congestion on the trains

00:09:00.380 more jobs available less cost of everything pretty much makes lower insurance safer

00:09:06.700 lower crime etc etc that's true a more coherent society it is the problem it is basically

00:09:14.900 incontestable at this point that the overpopulation of the country is what is destroying it yes is

00:09:20.120 just no question of it millions of people were brought here by labor and boris johnson and it's

00:09:26.220 making our society just decay from within and everyone can tell everyone can tell yeah it's

00:09:30.760 true and the solution to that is obviously what rupert loan you know restore britain are advocating 0.78

00:09:35.260 for it's mass deportation and just just getting rid of these people you know scrapping the asylum

00:09:40.240 system and so on and so forth what i like about it as well another segment on the arabic language

00:09:46.140 asylum seeker advice pages oh you should i did one before so i don't speak arabic but you do 0.99

00:09:51.480 i'll have to watch it it's yeah uh well it's it's a total grift i mean we see their tiktoks 0.97

00:09:57.540 it's just insulting they know they know anyway getting back to this so the point is when you

00:10:03.940 just describe the kind of party that Restore Britain is, it starts sounding amazing. And

00:10:10.140 you can see why, like, the average working class person who might read The Sun or The

00:10:13.860 Mirror or The Express or something like that would read this and be like, oh, right, yeah,

00:10:17.060 that sounds like a good thing. So moving on, then you have The Spectator. This is kind

00:10:22.900 of like the middle band of media, places like The Spectator. Yeah. Who do you think the

00:10:30.080 party leader that really rules social media is that's right it's rupert low by a long shot and

00:10:35.900 they they can't deny it the numbers are in and so they're like yeah okay i see nothing but restoring

00:10:40.620 my me in my feed and so then we start getting the actual questions that you want to ask right

00:10:45.980 the really good questions could rupert low destroy reform hopefully exactly crossed no no that's

00:10:53.720 brilliant isn't it enoch powell played a similar role aiding the labor party what was enoch powell 0.98

00:10:59.440 wrong about yeah nothing nothing no ted heath was a coward the conservatives were total cowards

00:11:05.460 if enoch powell had been made the leader of the labor party you wouldn't have had labor 0.55

00:11:09.200 governments of the conservative party yes sorry um yeah this wouldn't have happened but as you say

00:11:15.120 was enoch powell wrong about anything no i mean i mean there's probably some trivial policy that

00:11:23.140 nobody talks about that i disagreed with them on but on the main things obviously not right um but

00:11:28.940 this again great framing it's like Rupert Lowe's the second coming of Enoch Powell well that's

00:11:34.200 great because Enoch Powell's actually still rather popular outside of the Westminster bubble right

00:11:38.560 people actually liked Enoch Powell for being a respectable statesman who said and did the

00:11:42.860 unpopular thing but right thing and it destroyed him I think he was one of the most popular

00:11:47.360 politicians at the time wasn't he massively 80% if I recall 70 plus percent agreed with what he

00:11:54.540 were saying on immigration exactly and i'd imagine it'd be a similar kind of figure today amongst

00:11:58.880 british people you know the polling has been done we know that something like 60 percent of people

00:12:03.520 just want an end to immigration flat out and then you've got like 44 percent that want millions to

00:12:08.860 go back and so it's we we've got the numbers we know what this is and so rupert lowe being a

00:12:15.420 credible politician leading this what is genuinely an insurgent party because you can see now the

00:12:20.660 framing on all of this is kind of defensive towards reform right oh no nigel farage is under

00:12:27.560 attack from the right rupert lowe could destroy reform it's like yeah because they've accepted

00:12:32.380 reform as part of the establishment exactly if reform isn't the establishment why is the

00:12:38.420 establishment media defending reform exactly i i think it's um it was kind of accepted that reform

00:12:45.060 were going to be the next government at the time.

00:12:47.500 So it makes sense that the establishment and the media

00:12:51.120 and all these articles come out to defend him

00:12:52.920 because that's kind of what they want.

00:12:54.980 He's one of them. 1.00

00:12:55.820 Because he recruited Zahawi 1.00

00:12:58.240 to make sure that the Middle Eastern money was coming in. 0.95

00:13:00.840 He had Jenrick checking his economic policies

00:13:03.500 with George Osborne, who was a disastrous chancellor.

00:13:06.480 He recruited all of the known suspects,

00:13:10.600 the author of the Online Communications Act.

00:13:13.020 Online Harms.

00:13:13.520 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:15.680 Nadine Dories. 0.81

00:13:17.260 And then you've just got the...

00:13:18.880 He brought the establishment in

00:13:20.180 and now they're circling the wagon

00:13:21.360 against the new establishment.

00:13:23.080 A lot of them were sort of like

00:13:24.520 the safe right-wing Tories,

00:13:27.040 like Sweller Braveman, right?

00:13:28.500 I don't actually mind Braveman,

00:13:29.960 but she's never going to become

00:13:31.260 someone who's outside of the system

00:13:33.340 of liberal thought that dominates politics. 0.96

00:13:36.260 She'll always be on the right wing of that 0.98

00:13:37.600 rather than actually someone who's outside of it.

00:13:40.060 But Rupert Lowe doesn't believe in it at all.

00:13:42.920 and he expressly says that he wants to destroy the blairite system and rightfully so you know

00:13:49.440 i've got to emphasize again but it's um a lot of these politicians that have hopped over to reform

00:13:54.480 were a part of the the boris wave government you know those who are responsible directly for the

00:13:59.380 massive amount of mass immigration in recent years and they might not have been happy with it but at

00:14:04.780 the end of the day you still were complicit you still i mean jemmerich was defending smuggling in

00:14:10.260 the afghans under the super injunction until 2025 december 2025 he still published articles

00:14:17.200 defending what he did zia yusuf is post saying that jenrik was only pretending to be right-wing

00:14:22.440 yeah to get into government and then go back to the center are still up on x and the thing is

00:14:27.720 i think zia yusuf's right like weirdly zia yusuf is probably my favorite person in reform because

00:14:35.160 he seems to be the most actually right-wing person in reform it's strange isn't it it's very strange

00:14:40.520 but you know at the end of the day we are where we are so yeah like i said it's very interesting

00:14:46.640 how this is all um or i mean it's not even covertly in defense of reform at this point is it they're

00:14:52.680 like almost explicitly defending reform uh because a lot of them have come to peace with that i mean

00:14:58.700 the we we covered it last week the spiked article was particularly strange spiked obviously was

00:15:03.100 founded by a bunch of communists and they're frothing at the mouth about not having a reform

00:15:09.920 government which is very interesting but another point I like about this is the seeding of the

00:15:15.560 ideas so yeah no get this into the discourse could Rupert Lowe destroy reform yeah no no no

00:15:20.520 the first way to make something happen in real life is to have the conscious thought of it

00:15:26.280 in your head and so that's why this one's so much better in the times could Rupert Lowe be the next

00:15:32.160 p.m you know what let's have a discussion about that let's get the dialectic on that going shall

00:15:37.480 yeah it's that kind of conversation is good and you know it's like getting it out there

00:15:41.240 so it's in the back of people's minds so they think about it when they go to the ballot box

00:15:45.360 could rupert be the next mp i might vote restore you know it's possible absolutely and uh she's

00:15:51.380 as she says katie here says the mega crowd seem to think so in britain it seemed well i mean the

00:15:55.780 mega crowd are reform voters uh these are not the mega crowd that's the thing explicitly yeah

00:16:01.340 But in Britain, it seems absurd, but the appeal of Restore Britain is capturing the US right, which sees the former Reform MP as the man to get the job done.

00:16:09.260 Yeah, but it's also capturing the disaffected, normal people in Britain.

00:16:13.860 I mean, my favourite thing about this whole thing is John Cleese becoming Rupert Lowe's strongest soldier.

00:16:20.700 Of all the people on Earth, to be a hardline Rupert Lowe supporter, John Cleese was least on the list for me.

00:16:27.560 it's a strange it's strange people are coming out to support rupert lobe it's great it's a

00:16:32.980 massive variety as well like people have never been interested in politics before and you know

00:16:38.240 those yeah like politics had nothing had nothing to offer no exactly yeah there was no representation

00:16:43.820 form this is why i don't have any time for arguments about ideological purity on twitter

00:16:49.100 it's like no no no you don't understand how big a tent this is going to be but what we're going

00:16:53.560 to get is representation for ourselves yeah you know there are going to be lots of disagreements

00:16:58.400 along the way but it's something we haven't ever had and so it's about time that we get it so

00:17:04.140 anyway this is going further than just the media crowd talking about it for example uh restore

00:17:09.520 first britain uh restore britain uh university societies are being created which has been

00:17:16.480 controversial i've been contacted by a few and i am more than happy to come and speak at them

00:17:20.940 obviously um but this is is one of those things where it's like okay so you're really in the heart

00:17:25.820 of darkness with this because restore britain is not an ideological party right as in there isn't

00:17:32.860 a predominant reigning ideology uh there is people normal people who are like no we just need to just

00:17:38.780 act we need to actually do some things um so this puts it in a very strange position because normally

00:17:43.260 be like right this is a socialist party this is a liberal party this is a nationalist party

00:17:47.500 this is at this party. And once you adopt an explicit ideology, you put yourself in a kind

00:17:53.560 of theoretical framework relative to other ideologies. And they are able to extrapolate

00:17:59.180 your premises out to certain conclusions and force you to go to places you might not actually

00:18:04.080 want to go to. And then you're trapped in the kind of forever discourse of ideological debating,

00:18:10.960 which is, I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually find it entertaining, but it's not very useful,

00:18:15.160 right it doesn't get anything done what you're thinking about here is pragmatic populism exactly 0.57

00:18:19.640 yeah that's a great way of framing it like the like callum people like yourself actually you

00:18:24.640 know you're not having ideological discussions on the doorstep no of course not you're just

00:18:29.000 serving the people it's very you know you put the people first you knock on the door and you talk

00:18:33.520 about issues that matter to them because at the end of the day who doesn't want to serve their

00:18:38.000 people and do the best for them that's kind of a whole point of trying to get elected you know

00:18:41.360 it's not for a money or a grift it's because you want to serve the people to make a field

00:18:45.200 put for a lot of people it might be that but for us it's definitely not that is it you know

00:18:49.460 of course but uh but this is this is the point so actually getting out there and doing things

00:18:55.120 is really good and we've even made it to have i got news for you have you ever seen have i got

00:19:00.200 news for you count it's still running it's still running okay now for anyone outside of britain

00:19:09.040 who doesn't know what have i got needs for years i used to watch this when i was a teenager right

00:19:13.420 that's how long this has been going you're in her um yeah no actually yeah yeah no absolutely

00:19:20.240 absolutely uh when i was in my libtard phase as a teenager um and so what it is is paul merton and

00:19:27.940 in his lob get a couple of guests on and it used to be angus deaton uh who was the presenter now

00:19:33.280 angus deaton was superb as a presenter because he had this incredible deadpan delivery of the

00:19:38.840 jokes and so he was absolutely he was the one who got caught doing he was yes which was disappointing

00:19:46.020 because then he got fired and so they have guest presenters now and uh i i mean i don't know who

00:19:51.500 watches this still but um but ian hislop and paul merton are the sort of raw engine of comedy but

00:19:58.040 they've got this kind of john stewart attitude where it's like look i will tell you about this

00:20:02.300 thing and then we'll all laugh and we'll assume that we don't need to think about this thing any

00:20:06.780 further and so that's exactly what they do and so obviously as you can see um it comes across

00:20:11.900 very um disconnected from the reality of the country because they're liberals they're well

00:20:18.760 to do they're very successful and they haven't got any of the problems that real people in the

00:20:25.160 country have well they can be snooty about this they can they ha ha look at rupert loo and his 0.98

00:20:32.900 silly restore party aren't they idiot far right so well i mean i guess we'll wait and find out 0.96

00:20:38.140 won't we but um but yeah so it's all it's all been um quite good sort of normalize restore britain 0.99

00:20:45.000 in the public consciousness because i mean when you've got people like this attacking you

00:20:49.060 great when you've got like the left-wing and right-wing media attacking you and saying no

00:20:55.580 no we're the liberal establishment and farage is our guy and you know from have i got news to you

00:21:02.200 the Guardian, to the Spectator, the Telegraph, the Times,

00:21:05.840 they're all in ranks against you.

00:21:08.460 Well, who's the insurgent then?

00:21:10.820 It's us.

00:21:11.440 I mean, it just goes to show again that Reform and Nigel Farage

00:21:16.200 are the establishment who have come out to defend him,

00:21:19.020 each side of the political spectrum.

00:21:21.760 Yeah, they like bashing Nigel Farage because he's kind of safe to bash.

00:21:25.700 Yes.

00:21:26.140 He never punches back, you know, and his punches are always held

00:21:29.640 because he understands he himself is a creature of the media,

00:21:32.200 He got famous by being able to get on the media, give his spiel, and think, oh, yeah, no, of course, I've done every, I'm the person who's destroyed the far right in this country.

00:21:40.360 I'm the person who's the containment for the far right, and I always have been.

00:21:43.640 Well, do you know, do you know who's not the containment for the far right?

00:21:47.180 And this, this honestly blew my bloody socks off when I saw this.

00:21:51.900 Rupert Lowe had said something quite spicy, should we say?

00:21:57.640 For anyone listening, quotes from the Jewish Chronicle

00:22:02.040 Rupert Lowe calls grooming gang scandal

00:22:04.260 Something the equivalent of the Holocaust

00:22:05.920 And that went down badly 1.00

00:22:10.080 I mean, I've got to agree with him

00:22:12.980 I don't disagree at all

00:22:14.160 It's horrific what's happened

00:22:16.160 And what our women and girls have gone through

00:22:18.060 You know, it is our Holocaust in a way 1.00

00:22:20.900 It's something we should drum on about 1.00

00:22:22.940 You know, we want

00:22:24.740 We can't have this again

00:22:26.300 We want these people gone

00:22:27.300 because of you know the grooming gangs and yeah it's our holocaust well the the point 0.51

00:22:34.380 the the the principle that underlied the holocaust was a racial animus against a particular group

00:22:40.100 that led the people who had the ability to commit atrocities against them without

00:22:46.740 um mercy without measure without any restraint and the same backed by the state fully backed

00:22:53.480 by the state and the same principle underpins the grooming gangs that's what's happened with

00:22:58.520 the grooming gangs so this is why rupert lowe when he says something equivalent of the holocaust

00:23:02.160 obviously he's not talking about scale but in in spirit that's not wrong not just that if

00:23:09.200 holocaust has a religious meaning it's a sacrifice offered up to god sacrifice exactly it's a burnt

00:23:15.480 offering exactly and and and so from a religious perspective the idea of calling it a holocaust

00:23:22.380 these were people sacrificed for god the nazis saw getting rid of the jews as the only way to

00:23:28.460 purify themselves and the establishment saw silence over the grooming gangs as the only way

00:23:38.780 to bring about the utopia that they were dreaming about the nazis wanted a utopia free of jews that

00:23:45.340 was their racial perception that was their racial animus that is why they committed their crimes

00:23:50.060 and the establishment kept absolutely silenced it silent it absolutely sacrificed these girls

00:23:57.080 on the altar of multiculturalism on the altar of eventual integration the post-racial society

00:24:04.760 all of these things so from a religious dimension it was they decided to sacrifice their own women

00:24:11.200 and children again it's the same principle even if the scale isn't the same and so Rupert Lowe

00:24:16.320 is absolutely not wrong on this yeah it's correct and uh they they are they are not happy about this

00:24:21.960 here's bloomberg again elite publications britain is being dragged into an ugly place why because

00:24:26.300 rupert lowe made a correct observation and it's a correct observation that lays well outside of

00:24:31.940 the mainstream consensus i know nigel farage is never going to say that you know not just that

00:24:38.380 i mean today the holocaust narrative is what defines everything you're not allowed to say

00:24:43.540 that Britain is for the British 0.98

00:24:44.620 because that means that you're going to end up killing Jews, 0.99

00:24:47.780 which is an nonsensical position to begin with, okay? 0.99

00:24:51.680 But that is the correct framing,

00:24:53.520 whereas the case against multiculturalism

00:24:58.180 is that to get there,

00:25:00.760 you had to sacrifice tens of thousands,

00:25:03.000 hundreds of thousands of British girls 0.98

00:25:04.860 to be raped and abused and prostituted, 0.98

00:25:07.880 and in some cases killed, tortured, etc., etc. 0.98

00:25:11.140 So the thinking behind it is the same. The entire current order exists based on the idea that nationalism is inherently evil because this is what it leads to.

00:25:24.680 The reality is multiculturalism is evil because that is what it leads to.

00:25:29.220 And so shifting the political, the defining political narrative from what happened three generations ago to what is still happening today, yeah, actually that's really important because that is going to wake people up. 1.00

00:25:42.860 Yeah, true.

00:25:44.100 and so the defining characteristic of restore britain is a genuinely insurgent party as you

00:25:51.340 can see the entire liberal establishment reform included its most right-wing and most left-wing

00:25:57.780 aspects are all ranged against restore britain and are trying to tell the public no you've got

00:26:02.740 to be against them to be in favor of us which is great because the defining characteristic

00:26:09.080 of Rupert Lowe in particular

00:26:10.640 is say, I don't care.

00:26:13.720 I really want to be clear

00:26:15.020 in my response, says Rupert. I am not

00:26:17.120 going to retract anything. I stand by

00:26:19.100 every single word. Labour is

00:26:21.080 calling for me to apologise. The answer is no.

00:26:23.180 The industrial rape of almost every town

00:26:24.820 and city in Britain. Sexual torture, murder, 0.93

00:26:27.140 endless rape. I sat there for two weeks listening 0.99

00:26:29.060 to these girls. I'm not going to go on because it gets

00:26:31.140 pretty grim, but he

00:26:33.060 says, look, our

00:26:35.060 rape game report will be out soon.

00:26:36.580 i don't want any apologies i don't care about that i want to see these politicians responsible 0.90

00:26:40.580 for covering up this trustee behind bars for what they've done to these girls this is why

00:26:45.020 rupert lowe is the guy right this is why restore britain is the vehicle and this is why we're in

00:26:51.660 it and we're actively taking part you should too you should head up to makefield and help out

00:26:57.020 because we're going to win there's no other party or politician that's gonna say it like that in

00:27:02.220 parliament you know no like reform promised a rape gang inquiry i can't even remember when it

00:27:08.960 was that long ago it was months and months ago and they didn't do it they did nothing

00:27:13.060 and now matt goodwin is attacking restore for having an inquiry is he yes yeah i must have

00:27:18.800 missed that i don't know matt goodwin went on a meltdown attacking restore for actually having

00:27:23.840 the inquiry saying that it was a dumb thing to do because they didn't have statutory powers even

00:27:28.240 though they promise to do the same exact thing and now they're saying no no we're going to wait

00:27:33.420 until we have statutory that's abysmal he literally called it toothless but these people are acting

00:27:38.460 like they've been bitten right they're acting they're reacting to this man because actually

00:27:43.660 it's not as toothless as you think it might not have had statutory powers but that doesn't mean

00:27:47.500 it doesn't have influence um anyway yeah so um everything i think is going great uh carry on as

00:27:53.280 you are cookie boy says i got an email from alex phillips substanct saying she'd seen leaked

00:27:58.060 documents saying restore was part of a grandmaster plan to keep reform from winning the next general

00:28:02.600 election behind a paywall of course well i mean in a way it is kind of part of a grandmaster plan

00:28:07.420 it's just our grandmaster plan to stop reform from forming the next government so our guys form the

00:28:13.580 next government that's the plan uh alex i do like as well i forgot to mention it actually i should

00:28:18.360 have brought it up um but you notice that they've gone into just full just tell as many lies as you

00:28:23.020 can yeah so some of the nonsense you see on twitter from these accounts it's just it's just

00:28:28.040 hilarious they'll go oh they're talking about a pact or rumor has it make a field candidate

00:28:32.380 stepping yeah yeah yeah it's just this absolute nonsense and it kind of shows where they're at 0.51

00:28:37.940 they're panicking you know yes they're very happy to see them just devolve into pure liar mode um

00:28:45.520 enoch powell was only wrong in that he vastly underestimated the gravity of the issue at hand

00:28:49.340 well i mean it's it's not his fault you couldn't have predicted the boris wave right no one no

00:28:53.840 one could have anticipated sane yeah yeah no one's saying i mean yeah exactly uh so you know i don't

00:28:59.540 i don't expect him to have anticipated that and uh the reason that so many people don't open their

00:29:05.100 doors uh to you calamus because they're tired of giving money to ukraine what no believe me when

00:29:10.280 when i go canvassing are you a big ukraine supporter i look like zelensky oh oh yeah

00:29:17.020 yeah yeah please come i'm good i haven't even noticed yeah well it's gonna stick 0.59

00:29:25.360 it's one of those things i mean there are worse looking people in the world than zelensky i mean

00:29:30.500 jesus oh so you see you've seen that candidate that looks like um kia starmer yes yeah well 0.88

00:29:35.680 transgender yeah yeah yeah god that's unfortunate anyway let's let's carry on 0.98

00:29:40.320 all right so uh there was a football match oh yeah and uh then the french rioted was it

00:29:49.520 the french no oh right no it wasn't actually the french not that you'd know this from the bbc

00:29:56.080 was it a north african team who played uh no it was paris saint germain might as well have been

00:30:01.600 I mean, you know, the French national, what's it called, team doesn't really look very French.

00:30:13.340 I'm going to look at that.

00:30:13.980 Let's leave it there.

00:30:15.480 So what's happened is that 219 people were injured after a 219.

00:30:23.580 Mad.

00:30:24.080 and almost 800

00:30:25.920 were arrested

00:30:27.480 of which still 450

00:30:30.340 are in custody

00:30:31.580 I think 8 people were very

00:30:34.260 seriously wounded. Well this can't be real

00:30:35.840 that's not the French team is it?

00:30:38.420 Yes

00:30:38.720 It's not the colonial one. Yes go ahead

00:30:41.360 The French Foreign Legion team 0.95

00:30:44.360 Send it to Samson

00:30:47.880 and he'll put it up

00:30:48.580 Samson just google French football

00:30:52.020 France football team

00:30:53.160 i think if i mean two of them might be french but they might be north africans yes the rest are

00:30:59.580 sub-saharan africans yes yes um there you go i think there's one one french guy there's one

00:31:09.760 actually french guy maybe the next guy the guy next to him could be italian french oh yeah let's

00:31:16.260 assume he's like let's assume that there's two out of the eleven yeah but that is that's that's

00:31:20.320 longer and short of it. I mean, Raynaud Camus

00:31:22.460 must be flipping his lid over

00:31:24.340 this, right? Yes. Like, the French team's literally

00:31:26.440 been great replaced. Completely.

00:31:28.800 Camping the Saints.

00:31:30.060 Completely.

00:31:33.620 That's crazy.

00:31:35.680 But, you know,

00:31:36.420 the BBC doesn't give you

00:31:38.540 enough of the details. It says that there's a

00:31:40.440 lot of soldiers that were mobilised.

00:31:42.760 They said that part of this was

00:31:44.460 really celebratory and very

00:31:46.340 good-natured and in a good mood.

00:31:48.240 the images

00:31:50.100 tell their own story

00:31:52.620 and we'll get into that a little bit

00:31:54.760 the interior minister

00:31:56.860 said that they were going to be firm

00:31:58.900 and we're a great country for

00:32:00.640 maintaining public order

00:32:02.080 yeah

00:32:13.720 you're going to tell us you're faithful next as well

00:32:16.580 the french yeah no uh but after saying that it was celebratory the bbc does mention in paragraph

00:32:27.600 maybe 20 footage shows flares being set off electric bikes burning on roads and revelers

00:32:33.160 smashing the glass of at least one shop front it was a lot more than one shop front i can imagine

00:32:37.880 but anyhow everybody knew that this was going to happen right yeah to the extent that shopkeepers

00:32:45.100 the night before

00:32:46.520 were going around

00:32:48.080 boarding up

00:32:49.080 their stores

00:32:51.080 with custom-made

00:32:52.980 steel barriers

00:32:53.940 to stop the

00:32:55.940 diversity celebrations

00:32:58.260 from actually

00:33:00.040 smashing their stores.

00:33:01.460 It's just part and parcel 1.00

00:33:02.520 of living in a diverse society.

00:33:04.340 Diversity is our strength.

00:33:05.400 Yes.

00:33:06.200 Yes.

00:33:06.740 Societe Generale

00:33:07.700 boards up everything,

00:33:10.700 knows that this is happening.

00:33:12.420 I mean, look at these things.

00:33:13.880 Everybody knew

00:33:14.900 that this was going to happen and it isn't new 2020 there was a uh again a match involving paris

00:33:22.320 and 150 arrests after they lost but in the previous one didn't they have like 500 arrests

00:33:28.580 or something like that so it's getting worse it's getting worse exactly uh cars were set on fire and

00:33:35.600 window window shops were smashed yeah that's coming not really sufficiently detailed

00:33:43.480 uh france lost in the qatar world cup in the penalties there was another big bunch of riots

00:33:50.480 africa goes into a period of mourning

00:33:52.400 yes uh another wave of riots in 2022 and then you know uh keeps on happening the french and

00:34:04.780 the moroccans had a football match the even the guardian had to cover it yeah even the guardian

00:34:10.400 had to cover it because the moroccans fought with the french or with each other yeah or with the 0.59

00:34:17.180 police but basically the moroccans rioted and uh again this is a repeated thing with the immigrant

00:34:25.420 communities in 2023 a young thug who might have stolen a car tried to run over a couple of police

00:34:32.200 officers was shot and then three days of ride followed of course um 25 24 officers injured

00:34:41.640 cars torched etc etc hundreds of millions in damages um i think that the football match is

00:34:49.960 just a pretext yes 2025 paris saint germain won and again a huge riot two people died

00:35:00.480 in that one um it's a bit of a pattern yeah i was gonna say it's almost routine like the

00:35:09.040 football kicks off and i i've never seen 500 and however many people arrested i i don't think

00:35:15.540 i don't think if there's ever any rights over here like say 20 20 i can't remember like the

00:35:21.140 notting hill carnival or something yeah it's insane yes exactly insane exactly and so this

00:35:28.040 is a bit of a recurring theme and uh you know just to give you a bit of a flavor as to kind

00:35:34.040 of the kinds of things that were happening uh in france there were some reparations collected

00:35:40.760 because a gentleman was on a motorbike and they saw him on a motorbike and decided that

00:35:49.240 it is time to pay reparations so the guy was jumped beaten and his scooter was was stolen

00:35:56.760 so he was guilty of being french in paris yes essentially essentially uh there were girls

00:36:03.240 attacked which was the same thing that happened last year um smashed the daylight out of their

00:36:14.040 jesus yeah the the the sound adds another dimension to it it's just sort of animalistic screaming

00:36:20.760 and um it ends with them absolutely wrecking you can see it's just barbarism it's just barbarism

00:36:31.660 isn't it yep and then you see this guy opening the uh the oil uh cover to presumably to set the

00:36:38.620 car on fire but they're just doing it because she's white and french well it isn't obvious to 0.99

00:36:43.660 me that the girls were actually that white they just saw a bunch of girls going through and 1.00

00:36:47.660 decided why not we don't even care yeah yeah um from from the look of the girls they could have

00:36:54.380 easily been liberal moroccan girls yeah yeah sure but why are these people in your country

00:36:59.680 good question what are they doing there good question i mean we've kind of established this 0.80

00:37:04.260 routine it's surely at some point you go enough's enough like all the football fans are gonna go

00:37:09.600 you know and all the moroccans all the tunisians all the algerians are gonna go i'm not even sure 0.71

00:37:15.100 if I'd characterise them as the football fans. 0.93

00:37:18.140 You know what I mean?

00:37:20.000 It's true.

00:37:20.760 I don't think they're there because of the football.

00:37:23.060 It's like any reason to get out and riot,

00:37:25.600 they get out and riot, you know?

00:37:30.460 There were some attempts at improving public transport.

00:37:34.620 That's mad. I'm sorry.

00:37:36.280 Yeah, I mean, the tram service isn't great,

00:37:39.120 so they were trying to contribute their bit.

00:37:41.500 They're reopening.

00:37:41.940 They're re-engineering it.

00:37:43.100 Yes, they're re-engineering it.

00:37:44.400 it's it's clearly an attempt at you know improving french public transportation sorry just just

00:37:50.400 quickly on this it's it's the brazenness yes bothers me it's the i know i'm never getting

00:37:55.360 punished for anything yes and this isn't to lose i think this has nothing to do with paris yeah

00:38:00.240 so it was just sort of kicked off in a bunch of different places because they know the systems

00:38:04.400 structures are behind them and not the average french person yes essentially uh there were some

00:38:11.920 there were some attempts at helping out with municipal cleaning a very strong sense of social

00:38:20.760 responsibility they love their cities they're trying to keep them clean i'll tell you what

00:38:24.560 nothing makes me more right-wing than watching this and i'm like i can't even describe the

00:38:31.180 punishments i'm in favor of yep yep yep um somebody died uh but there were more attempts at

00:38:40.820 You know, improving the French bus system.

00:38:43.260 Dès la fin du match, la situation se tente.

00:38:45.400 Ici, sur les Champs-Élysées, une dizaine de jeunes s'en prennent à un abri bus.

00:38:50.360 This is also not in Paris.

00:38:53.880 They were just trying to complain about inadequate bus services. 0.64

00:38:57.740 Yeah, whack him. Get him. 0.54

00:39:00.100 You have to give it to the French police.

00:39:01.780 They do deliver a beatdown every once in a gun. 1.00

00:39:04.360 Good.

00:39:05.040 They do deliver a beatdown, but clearly it's nowhere near enough.

00:39:08.380 No.

00:39:09.600 Clearly, it's nowhere near enough.

00:39:11.160 It's interesting that this is nationwide.

00:39:14.460 Yes, yes.

00:39:16.260 It's almost like, you're right, it's not the football that matters.

00:39:20.360 Yes.

00:39:21.420 Is there any excuses?

00:39:22.420 I don't know if you saw the previous scene where they were basically objecting...

00:39:27.420 Service with incendie.

00:39:29.180 Where they were basically objecting to the destruction of the natural environment

00:39:33.800 and the over-extraction of resources required for building lithium batteries.

00:39:40.920 And so they set a bunch of electric bikes on fire in response

00:39:44.780 because, you know, the extraction of lithium is quite environmentally damaging

00:39:48.520 and does involve some forms of slave labor, especially in the Congo.

00:39:53.040 So they took that to heart and set some electric bikes to fire.

00:39:57.900 um there were there was no discrimination based on physical disabilities which is wonderful news

00:40:06.220 um it's really

00:40:09.020 it's really important not to discriminate against people with physical disabilities

00:40:15.460 they are as good as you and me in every dimension and so you see this gentleman

00:40:21.380 on a wheelchair using his walking stick to bash a burnt vehicle

00:40:25.300 i'm glad it's inclusive it's inclusive it's healthy it's liberal it's it's it's exactly

00:40:31.880 you know you you don't want to you don't want to be a bigot you just don't want to be a bigot

00:40:38.020 of these people with disabilities of course not um it does border on comedy as leo curse uh note

00:40:46.560 notices here because if you said to eric powell that this is what paris is going to look like

00:40:53.800 You said to Charles de Gaulle, this is what Paris is going to look like.

00:40:57.100 Yes.

00:41:00.060 I mean, I guess this is part of improving the attractiveness of the Tour de Felle for tourists.

00:41:08.840 I'm assuming that this is part of the tourism promotion.

00:41:12.100 Someone's got to pay for the pensions.

00:41:13.820 Yes, yes, yes.

00:41:15.460 Yeah, I mean, let's not forget the massive financial contributions.

00:41:20.600 This is raw GDP.

00:41:22.080 This is GDP in action, brother.

00:41:23.800 I mean, just think about how many jobs in Renault factories are going to be created

00:41:29.220 because all of the cars that were born, how else are you going to stimulate demand?

00:41:34.380 I have no idea.

00:41:35.520 Seriously.

00:41:36.400 We should do about her, you know.

00:41:38.080 Every time a football is on, just football.

00:41:40.580 What is good to see is the deep love and respect for human life that they have.

00:41:46.120 And let's hear this one with audio.

00:41:47.940 Tov, on a failli qu'ils trois gars.

00:42:17.940 uh they almost killed them yeah they say it in the video yep but it's funny it's it's it's it's

00:42:28.500 funny to run people over with a vehicle it's genuinely hilarious it's just not everybody

00:42:35.280 appreciates this dark humor but it's very important to to be open-minded about the

00:42:40.560 different sense of comedy that different civilizations might have uh not everybody

00:42:45.820 appreciates ton please some people prefer more physical comedy and it involves using vehicles

00:42:50.860 to murder random pedestrians um further efforts at at improving public transport here um again

00:43:00.940 trying to make sure that everybody feels welcome at the tour develop i mean if you saw these kinds

00:43:06.460 of scenes of rubbish everywhere you might think that you're and feel extremely welcome here um

00:43:15.820 um rubbish through and everywhere cars burned um it's it's it's the kind of it's almost like 0.76

00:43:24.160 these people know they aren't french don't care about france at all and are doing everything 0.91

00:43:31.580 just to literally push the boundaries like disobedient children yeah having a laugh at

00:43:37.040 your expense yes don't be a bigger this is as french as you it's you and me that's the point

00:43:43.020 yeah yeah i do love that as well the universal sort of i saw the funniest one for me was the

00:43:48.280 universal norwegian uh in norway at the moment yes yeah they're currently having an argument

00:43:52.340 so there's no such thing as a not-wegian everyone is just as norwegian as everyone else i'm like

00:43:56.680 what am i norwegian now what they're literally like you can't say some people are more norwegian

00:44:02.560 than other people it's like no i'm saying that right you norwegians are way more norwegian than

00:44:07.160 I identify as Norwegian.

00:44:13.160 It was very integrated

00:44:17.740 because the upper echelons of society joined with the...

00:44:22.820 It was Macron out there.

00:44:23.680 ...deprived children of the banlieue.

00:44:25.780 No, one of his MPs was.

00:44:27.200 Oh, right.

00:44:28.060 And apparently, according to this internet sleuth,

00:44:31.380 I'm not sure about it.

00:44:33.900 Climbing on the hood of a car.

00:44:37.160 so look at his shoes

00:44:42.680 and he's happily celebrating

00:44:53.760 and that might be him

00:44:55.840 there's a similarity

00:44:58.480 do you reckon it's

00:44:59.540 I mean it might be

00:45:00.160 I don't know

00:45:01.420 I'm open to the possibility

00:45:03.540 I'm open to the possibility

00:45:04.960 because their reaction from the establishment

00:45:09.240 wasn't particularly impressive, shall we say.

00:45:12.580 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:45:14.020 We will get to that in a moment.

00:45:16.220 But it was just scenes of...

00:45:17.460 What? What? What?

00:45:20.680 Deep love.

00:45:22.660 And I think somebody eventually understood

00:45:24.560 exactly what needs to be done

00:45:26.000 when confronted in your vehicle 1.00

00:45:27.780 by a bunch of insane criminal rioters. 1.00

00:45:30.300 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:45:32.160 I don't want to say it,

00:45:33.560 but you can see it in the images.

00:45:34.960 it seems to me like a sensible response yeah that's that's yeah it seems to me like a sensible

00:45:43.920 response um because really what else are you going to do i mean that's self-defense literally

00:45:52.660 that is self-defense that is literally self-defense and it's pretty obvious that

00:45:58.520 you know

00:45:59.940 these guys aren't French

00:46:02.160 really? I think so 0.79

00:46:04.840 I

00:46:06.460 I think so

00:46:08.360 I actually really find myself agreeing with the

00:46:10.120 they're just as French as you or I

00:46:11.600 but I agree with that actually, that's exactly correct

00:46:13.940 they are just as French as you or I

00:46:15.800 the French do love a good revolution

00:46:17.900 don't they?

00:46:19.260 we're not French at all so it's just like you know I agree 0.99

00:46:22.200 here they are trying to set each other on fire 1.00

00:46:28.740 Yeah.

00:46:29.180 Because why wouldn't you?

00:46:30.620 Yeah.

00:46:31.400 Why wouldn't you try to do that?

00:46:32.320 In the absence of real firearms.

00:46:34.680 And just as a story of integration,

00:46:36.320 I don't know if you know this guy called Shep Khalid.

00:46:38.860 He's an Algerian singer.

00:46:42.020 And he became famous in France, obviously not in Algeria.

00:46:45.560 Sure.

00:46:45.820 That's where he made his money.

00:46:47.720 His son chose to celebrate.

00:46:50.900 And his celebration...

00:46:54.840 Is it defacing Joan of Arc, is it?

00:46:56.860 defacing the Joan of Arc statue and saying Paris belongs to us, cry about it. MF.

00:47:05.580 So, Shab Khaled is a multimillionaire, of course. Ridiculously rich, got all of his opportunities

00:47:13.380 in France. But, you know, gratitude is a bit of a lacking virtue sometimes. And only Zemmour

00:47:22.360 and a few others

00:47:23.340 and the so-called far right

00:47:25.340 ended up speaking about it.

00:47:27.280 Zamor had it absolutely correct.

00:47:29.220 It is an outpouring of Arab Muslim youth 1.00

00:47:31.260 come to conquer Paris. 1.00

00:47:32.800 Yes.

00:47:33.080 I mean, they literally tell you.

00:47:35.000 That's exactly what it is.

00:47:36.320 And if you disagree with him,

00:47:38.140 take it up with Shab Khaled's son.

00:47:39.960 Yeah.

00:47:40.360 That's exactly what he's saying.

00:47:43.940 Even this gentleman 0.79

00:47:45.680 who was a Moroccan liberal ultra-secularist 0.82

00:47:49.000 who absolutely hates Islam.

00:47:51.120 Weirdly, there's a character like that in Camp of the Saints. 0.93

00:47:53.980 He ends up getting killed after he opens the prisons.

00:47:56.780 Yes.

00:47:57.240 Yeah.

00:47:57.660 Sorry.

00:47:59.700 He points out that this is a dress rehearsal,

00:48:02.280 one of many of the Civil War to come.

00:48:04.900 It's not going to be a Civil War,

00:48:06.160 because a Civil War between Frenchmen and Frenchmen. 0.97

00:48:08.980 Well, yes. 0.63

00:48:09.680 This will be a decolonization war. 0.77

00:48:11.840 It will be a reconquista. 0.93

00:48:13.760 Yeah.

00:48:14.260 It will be a reconquista.

00:48:15.740 Yeah.

00:48:15.980 Literally.

00:48:16.200 Exactly.

00:48:17.080 Time for it.

00:48:17.940 um the left however this one is a senior person in the uh socialist party it's always the women

00:48:26.660 and she says she asks the minister of interior not to spoil the party once again

00:48:33.620 let parisians and french have their pride and joy for this evening

00:48:38.820 no it's it's just strange because surely the scenes we've just watched anyone whatever your

00:48:46.100 politics would be that's not a celebration that's not having pride that that's chaos i think a

00:48:51.200 disabled man bashing a burning car is a perfect celebration really this is pride it's inclusive 0.62

00:48:57.380 it's a great representation of her politics though yes this is my politics destruction of 0.99

00:49:08.240 and a foreign disabled algerian man hitting a burning car with his walking stick yeah with 0.99

00:49:13.960 his walking stick yeah i agree i that's exactly what you want i mean it is but remember right 0.99

00:49:20.780 so go back to the pew song right remember right this is a shit test you tell her no why are you 0.98

00:49:27.360 here we're going to uh imprison hundreds if not thousands of these people yes and then deport them 0.99

00:49:33.300 that's what the appropriate yeah well yeah but yeah in the immediate yeah you know from the

00:49:38.080 rioters we're going to get them denaturalize them deport them that's the correct thing to do and she 0.97

00:49:43.120 is basically just giving you a shit test and as a man you've just got like no don't care not 0.99

00:49:47.780 listening this is what we're gonna do of course macron will never do anything like that but never 0.99

00:49:51.440 never um she is a senior official in la france insoumise which is the far left party of uh

00:49:59.900 melanchon which actually has a decent chance at taking the presidency and which has been

00:50:05.380 openly celebrating the replacement of the french yeah yeah so a court these guys have sort of

00:50:11.980 completed the celebration parallax essentially uh and now they're celebrating the great

00:50:17.420 replacement and she's saying that the interior minister should not ruin this wonderful wonderful

00:50:23.280 occasion uh dominique he's a senior politician former prime minister and foreign minister if

00:50:30.120 i'm not mistaking he points out something very important this has nothing to do with immigration 0.76

00:50:35.960 natural you fucking i mean he might be right a lot of these people would be born in france 0.96

00:50:41.520 yes so you know it's the previous round exactly yeah don't call it immigration what possible 0.99

00:50:47.100 connection could they have and uh okay they're telling you that they're here to take over but

00:50:55.200 it has nothing to do with immigration okay i mean surely no one in france is persuaded by these

00:51:00.700 like the magic sentences that they used to use 20 years for macron i guess they did yeah

00:51:07.820 uh another this guy is the interior minister i believe and he's running for presidency

00:51:16.480 oh good at least he's like this is no longer an isolated incident yeah well the fact that

00:51:20.220 happens annually yes but that's exactly the kind of thing that macron said right yeah when he was

00:51:25.380 when he was running for election and he did nothing of the sort he's calling for drastic

00:51:31.180 measures or very sensible measures if you're part of a riot yeah are they damage you have to pay for

00:51:35.840 it and you have to be locked up he is not calling for mass deportations which is actually the only

00:51:40.820 answer yeah which is obviously the only answer uh but he's pretending to be tough order is a

00:51:48.200 decision how the hell did you end up with this thing every single year like how how how is it

00:51:55.140 a decision that you can make when every single occasion where there's a anything involving the

00:52:02.480 immigrants there's there are these kinds of scenes why do you make this decision every single year

00:52:06.360 exactly of course exactly uh bardella points out that the candidates running to replace uh macron

00:52:16.140 all absolutely deny that this violence is happening

00:52:20.260 or that it is linked to immigration.

00:52:23.280 So I guess, as Oxidor says in the comments,

00:52:29.580 this is just Summer of Love French edition.

00:52:32.340 Yeah, fiery but mostly peaceful.

00:52:34.620 Fiery but mostly peaceful, exactly as the BBC reports.

00:52:37.340 Surely people see through this, though.

00:52:39.420 You'd hope, only if they're big at some point. 1.00

00:52:42.300 But, I mean, how can the French be committed to this nonsense? 1.00

00:52:48.060 If you're French watching this, let us know. 0.99

00:52:49.280 I blame la Cité, but that's a different conversation.

00:52:51.480 If you're French, leave us a comment.

00:52:53.480 Let us know what the actual, like, opinion of this is in France. 0.99

00:52:56.860 Explain to us what the hell is wrong with you.

00:52:58.060 Yeah, because, I mean, our media is terrible, but it's nowhere near this bad.

00:53:03.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:53:04.040 They're completely nuts. 1.00

00:53:05.320 They're completely nuts. 1.00

00:53:06.180 uh but it's been a very celebratory couple of days for the french i see it uh diversity is 0.98

00:53:14.740 their strength clearly i can tell yeah fiery one of that yeah fiery diversity that's a random name

00:53:20.560 says here in quebec we keep receiving more and more french people who leave france because in 0.61

00:53:25.100 their words it's just awful there ask them what's awful and they never say it how how can they get 0.60

00:53:30.440 to the point where they're literally fleeing their own country but i can't tell you why

00:53:33.880 I can't tell you why.

00:53:35.300 The Champ Elysees of the Saints.

00:53:37.220 That's very good.

00:53:38.500 Very good.

00:53:39.800 Are we sure this isn't a zombie movie?

00:53:42.620 Might as well be.

00:53:43.480 It is apocalyptic.

00:53:45.440 We're sure it's not a movie.

00:53:47.860 It's real.

00:53:48.460 It's real. 0.96

00:53:51.160 And, of course, denaturalise and deport.

00:53:54.080 Let's move on, Samson. 0.99

00:53:57.060 Right, so, good news.

00:53:59.600 Hassan Piker has been banned from Britain.

00:54:02.660 So has Cenk Uygur.

00:54:03.620 his uncle and everyone's like my god israel is hassan's uncle didn't you know that no well 0.75

00:54:11.200 hassan's a massive nepo baby and his dad's some rich turkish businessman oh his uncle gave him

00:54:17.580 his start on his youtube network so basically when my kids are presenters here it'll be like

00:54:24.980 you know my sons can be hassan pikas too feudalism is good man i'm not complaining yeah but uh but

00:54:31.160 as you can see here, Cenk says, I've been banned

00:54:33.160 from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to

00:54:35.200 London to attend the

00:54:36.260 SW and give a speech

00:54:39.260 at Oxford. I've been banned for criticising

00:54:41.060 Israel. Are we free anymore?

00:54:43.380 This is oppression of Western citizens by

00:54:45.160 our own governments. Hold on. On behalf of a different country.

00:54:47.480 You're a Turk.

00:54:49.160 Our government. I mean, that's 1.00

00:54:51.200 literally true. Yeah. But

00:54:52.540 also, are

00:54:55.260 we free anymore? No, no, Cenk, Britain is 0.95

00:54:57.200 not a free country. We've been saying for a

00:54:59.200 long time now don't know whether you've noticed we're not a free country but to be honest with

00:55:03.700 you i actually don't think you got banned for criticizing israel i think you got banned for

00:55:09.620 other reasons and the criticism of israel was just the sort of marker that flagged you up to

00:55:15.240 the establishment and powers that be hassan piker also got uh banned uh the uk has revoked my visa 0.71

00:55:21.340 as well all at the behest of israel the west is betraying liberal values for a genocidal fascist

00:55:27.440 foreign government soon we will all become israel so interesting appeal to uh liberal values from

00:55:37.240 the communist this is because just exactly as i've been saying the communist is just liberalism

00:55:41.660 extracted to its nth degree um but i like this narrative israel did this israel controls the

00:55:50.080 british government and they made them bang ban hassan piker and cenk uger it's like really

00:55:55.860 are you really the top priority of israel like you're an american american streamer like is are

00:56:02.340 you actually the top priority i mean this has been the narrative heaven here you know this is such a

00:56:07.040 wild violation of free speech and a tacit admission that israel is an outsider's influence on the west 0.61

00:56:11.420 ironically proving hassan correct no you don't understand britain you don't understand why people 0.52

00:56:17.240 get banned from britain do you but i do because i live here and we have to deal with loads of our

00:56:22.520 friends being banned and of course you'll notice only when it happens to them that they care about

00:56:27.460 the free speech yes oh oh my god you've banned hassan pika no dude i would ban hassan pika not

00:56:33.000 because he's critical of israel but because he's hassan pika i mean it's just constant look this

00:56:37.960 michael walker from uh navarra media this is absolutely bonkers the commitment to go to any

00:56:43.800 length to protect israel is destroying liberalism from within no michael aren't navarra media also 0.60

00:56:49.640 communists yes yeah which is why they're speaking out about this why liberalism well that's because 0.64

00:56:57.860 they know they are kind of like the parasite in liberalism that pushes liberalism to its furthest

00:57:04.340 degree to get what they want because really communism is just true liberalism it's just

00:57:09.600 liberalism being honest i'll speak about it elsewhere at length but um but notice that yeah

00:57:15.180 they're incredibly committed to this they understand that this is the way that they get

00:57:18.560 their agenda succeed to succeed is through liberalism and so if you ban them well i mean

00:57:23.680 that's destroying liberalism which ruins our plan but again the commitment to go to any length to

00:57:27.900 protect israel chen guga right he's a lot of things but he's actually not a clear and present 0.94

00:57:33.200 danger to israel like weirdly like this weird brain worm that they've all got like chen guga 0.65

00:57:40.720 is not a threat to israel he's not gonna do me jeremy corbyn my god this is an attack on the 0.56

00:57:47.940 freedom to criticize Israel as the UK as well as the UK government's own complicity in genocide

00:57:53.140 is it's actually not that it's not uh we we have some reporting from the times on this right so um

00:57:59.460 this was based on several grounds including fears that his presence would risk exacerbating

00:58:04.140 anti-semitism due to his rhetoric on the October the 7th attacks in 2023 he has repeated classic

00:58:09.820 anti-semitic tropes blah blah blah blah blah he's framed Israel's actions as genocide barbaric

00:58:14.260 savages and accuse israel of using jews as human shields and so the decision to ban him was also

00:58:20.600 based on exchanges he had with piers morgan on his youtube channel in which he dismissed evidence

00:58:24.940 relating to the grooming gangs in towns such as rotherham where official inquiries have identified

00:58:29.860 1,400 victims and said the concerns about the issue were islamophobic

00:58:34.100 this isn't about protecting israel this is about protecting multiculturalism

00:58:40.720 jank right you have a hard line on one side of the conflict in multiculturalism and therefore

00:58:49.880 like no he's not conducive to the public good which is the phrase they use every single time

00:58:54.180 and i can show you this because lots of israelis have been banned from britain as well did you

00:58:59.000 know right and we've been banning israelis for a long time here's a quote hook nosed uh future

00:59:05.540 Israeli Prime Minister

00:59:06.880 who was banned in 1955.

00:59:10.020 I can't remember his first name.

00:59:11.700 Menachem. 0.82

00:59:12.360 That's it, Menachem Begin.

00:59:13.840 He was refused a visa to enter Britain

00:59:15.820 because he was a terrorist against Britain

00:59:18.140 when Israel was first founded.

00:59:22.140 Was it the Irgun or the stern that he led?

00:59:24.340 Oh, I can't remember. 0.99

00:59:25.360 It's Irgun.

00:59:27.380 Begin was Irgun, right?

00:59:28.980 I can never remember.

00:59:30.180 But look at the wonderful description there.

00:59:32.740 Thin-faced, bad teeth, long-hooked nose,

00:59:34.560 and they wear black horn-rimmed spectacles like jesus flattering um anyway so that's going back

00:59:40.860 all the way to 1955 we ban israelis if we don't like them and go to mayor kahane in 1981 he was

00:59:50.780 banned from britain founder of an israeli political party ultra-nationalist militant far right so

00:59:58.340 they were like yep you're not coming in so if we're banning hassan for being a far-left communist

01:00:03.480 and we're banning this Israeli guy

01:00:05.700 for being a far-right, like, ultra-nationalist.

01:00:10.040 I think it might not be that Israel's pulling the strings.

01:00:13.720 I think it might be them doing it for their own. 0.69

01:00:15.600 I mean, here's Mike Guzovsky.

01:00:18.580 He's a Jewish militant from Israel

01:00:20.700 who was banned in 2009.

01:00:24.120 Sorry, I've got that. There we go, that one.

01:00:26.040 Banned in 2009.

01:00:27.680 And here's two Israeli ministers,

01:00:30.680 current sitting serving ministers,

01:00:32.320 Ittama Ben-Gvir

01:00:35.980 Ittama Ben-Gvir and Hezlel Smotrich

01:00:38.400 Yeah, they're current Israeli ministers

01:00:40.240 who are banned in 2025

01:00:41.380 because of their rhetoric regarding the

01:00:44.280 Palestinians. Fun fact

01:00:45.820 Ben-Gvir is an ultra 1.00

01:00:47.920 is very much a Kahanist basically 1.00

01:00:50.020 and Kahane was of the 0.83

01:00:52.240 view that basically you should just genocide 0.99

01:00:53.960 all the Arabs 1.00

01:00:54.660 and now he has people 1.00

01:00:58.300 who fully agree with him in control

01:01:00.240 of a key security ministry in Israel

01:01:01.860 that doesn't surprise me at all yes i mean this is the reason that they were banned is because of 0.96

01:01:07.140 their violent rhetoric towards palestinian communities but if it helps we ban the

01:01:11.960 palestinian types too his i mean so the wikipedia has a long list of people banned from britain

01:01:16.800 and a lot of them are muslims right a lot of them are muslim extremists here's a palestinian

01:01:22.200 politician uh who is banned from britain because of his opinion on the jews yes uh and then you've

01:01:29.320 got to see you know islamic preachers like zeki and naik who's banned in 2010 julius malema was

01:01:34.800 banned in 2025 nelson mandela's grandson was banned in 2024 in fact he now works for the

01:01:42.360 iranians yes it was his ties to iran and his rhetoric around palestine that got him banned

01:01:48.900 so it's like well i it's not to protect israel like there are what it is is to protect multiculturalism

01:01:56.980 If you have an attitude towards one of the protected groups

01:02:02.280 in the multicultural paradigm, obviously not the white people,

01:02:05.140 not the natives, but if one of the...

01:02:07.500 You said protected groups.

01:02:08.740 I did, yeah, exactly, definitionally outside of that scope.

01:02:13.840 But if you have been critical to an extreme position

01:02:17.300 of one of the protected groups under the multicultural umbrella,

01:02:22.260 they will just ban you.

01:02:23.860 And you don't even have to be that critical, really.

01:02:25.900 um but when you get someone like cenk yuger or hassan piker well they're they're very critical

01:02:31.660 but outspoken people but exactly and i mean i didn't hear you complaining about freedom of

01:02:39.400 speech when it was and i'm not going to say our guys because this is a very very broad spectrum

01:02:45.340 but when people on the rights got banned i mean here's robert spencer who is uh what was it is

01:02:50.880 any syrian christian or some robert spencer yeah no robert spencer is a catholic guy i think he's

01:02:58.800 a middle eastern christian he's very anti-islam he's very anti-islam i didn't know that yes but

01:03:03.740 i didn't know i didn't think that he was middle eastern himself oh yeah definitely he might be

01:03:07.960 armenian or something but uh i'm sure he's a middle eastern chap but uh he was banned in 2013

01:03:12.380 for offending islam is is that what israel would want is israel like no no you can't possibly

01:03:18.340 offend islam not in britain of all countries of course you had richard spencer who was banned

01:03:23.320 by theresa may in 2016 you know lauren southern who was banned in 2018 for offending islam

01:03:30.040 you had martin selner banned in 2019 because he was like maybe demographic replacement isn't

01:03:36.700 brilliant and then of course you have reyna camu banned because and reyna camu is a massive zionist

01:03:42.300 by the way who's like uh yeah maybe uh the great replacement isn't great and they were like no

01:03:47.420 you're out we have eva vladdingerbrook who was banned in 2026 and recently again i believe yeah

01:03:53.700 well yeah she was banned a while ago but she was yeah re-banned uh twice yeah in 2026 um because

01:04:00.660 she was going to go to the tommy rally so um and again not not exactly an anti-israel rally is it

01:04:06.320 so it's not really about protecting israel it's really about protecting multiculturalism that's

01:04:12.200 what all of these people have done wrong.

01:04:14.100 Yeah, that makes sense.

01:04:15.740 I mean, Kanye West was banned

01:04:18.360 for his anti-Semitic rants.

01:04:22.680 Kanye West, really,

01:04:23.760 he is one of the funniest people to exist.

01:04:26.280 Like, you never know what's going to come out of his mouth.

01:04:28.240 It's almost schizophrenic.

01:04:29.720 Yeah, exactly.

01:04:30.320 Yes, I don't have a mental model for him.

01:04:32.100 No, exactly.

01:04:32.520 I don't know what he's going to say.

01:04:33.460 Yes, I get a lot of people,

01:04:35.040 I don't get him at all.

01:04:36.540 He just held the largest concert

01:04:38.620 that's ever been held, by the way.

01:04:40.400 It's in Istanbul, wasn't it?

01:04:41.680 Yeah, yeah, in Turkey.

01:04:44.160 So, you know, you can't say it doesn't pay.

01:04:47.960 Anyway. 1.00

01:04:49.720 Then you have Valentina Gomez, who was banned.

01:04:53.000 This is the one I actually really agree with. 1.00

01:04:55.460 The Colombian immigrant banned from the Kingdom March. 0.97

01:04:58.640 Yeah, yeah, a little bit of a back and forth, yeah.

01:05:01.480 So, you know, base Shabana Mahmood.

01:05:03.920 She wasn't protecting Israel, though, 0.90

01:05:05.220 because, again, Valentina Gomez is a massive Zionist. 0.54

01:05:07.620 yeah and i couldn't have noticed just no one on the left gave a damn no none of them were like 0.79

01:05:14.560 well my free speech in fact i dug around right i was like look at some point one of them on the

01:05:20.420 left have to have been like look i don't agree with everything x says but can you ask this funny

01:05:25.340 whatever you know there's some sort of defense of free speech and i could find one just one okay

01:05:31.540 Who do you think it was?

01:05:34.020 I'm not too sure

01:05:34.900 Take a guess

01:05:36.240 The one left winger

01:05:37.540 Who defriended

01:05:38.600 Freedom of speech in Britain

01:05:39.640 American left winger?

01:05:42.200 No, a British one 0.94

01:05:43.100 Oh, a British one

01:05:44.100 I don't know 0.97

01:05:46.680 Shabana Mahmood

01:05:47.380 I don't think she's a leftist

01:05:50.800 No, it was Aaron Bastani actually

01:05:54.140 This is an old tweet from 2024

01:05:57.520 He's not terrible

01:05:58.560 Yeah, he's not terrible

01:05:59.700 He's not terrible

01:06:00.700 um yeah but he's he's the only one i could find in every other case they're cheering i mean zach

01:06:07.180 polanski came out and was like oh i can't believe shabana mahmood and this right-wing labor

01:06:11.980 government have done this and it's like but you literally cheered when anyone else on the right

01:06:17.720 was banned you literally cheered for it yes so it's just like okay you know like don't give me

01:06:23.920 this nonsense about freedom of speech you don't believe in freedom of speech we know you don't

01:06:27.220 believe in freedom of speech anyway there are some like weird bannings as well just because just to

01:06:31.200 be clear we ban people for any reason at all like and it's always in fact the reason is never actually

01:06:37.180 clear it's always quote conducive to the public good this person is not conducive to the public

01:06:42.020 good i mean for example we banned edward snowden in 2013 because he was like by the way guys the

01:06:47.220 american government's spying and everyone were like you're getting out uh okay like is it was

01:06:52.980 this protecting israel like grace mcgarby was banned in 2013 like robert mcgarby's um wife

01:07:01.800 i think it was uh she is um so it just okay is that israel related or is it just that we ban

01:07:08.760 people because we think they're either criminals or they're going to be dangerous to the multicultural

01:07:13.740 settlement that we have in this country have you ever heard of sally burisha that's albania's

01:07:19.100 former prime minister it's mental it's not just like no one's they're banning but peter yeah

01:07:24.920 former prime minister the scale is huge yes no one's he was banned in 2021 because he was

01:07:30.700 as you can you might guess with the fact that he's albanian connected to organized crime

01:07:35.560 even even the former prime minister is that connected to organized crime that he's banned

01:07:41.100 oh so is the current one sorry oh i don't doubt the current one is but the current one hasn't

01:07:45.640 been banned yet as far as it doesn't shock me no he gets visits from keir starmer and tony blair

01:07:49.780 he does he does um but again it goes quite well like here's a here's one 20 years ago in 2005

01:07:55.620 uh a guy called stephen best is a professor of philosophy at the university of texas

01:07:59.680 because he was an animal rights activist and he was celebrating the closure of breeding farms for

01:08:04.680 guinea pigs and we were like yep you're out uh mike tyson got banned because he's a criminal um

01:08:11.900 um so it's it's actually not because you were critical of israel lots of people are critical

01:08:17.760 of israel and are allowed to come to britain uh lots of israelis who are not critical of israel

01:08:23.760 get banned from coming to britain i know it would be easy and it would be nice to be able to say

01:08:29.260 well it's just because i'm critical of israel no it's not it's because you're a threat to 0.78

01:08:34.180 multiculturalism that's why the uk government bans anything and it's always done under the 0.92

01:08:39.360 rubric of it being not being conducive for the public good so basically you the uk finds itself 0.98

01:08:44.960 in a position where it's here to protect immigrants it's here to protect islam it is here to protect 0.82

01:08:50.080 jews it's here to protect israel in a way uh so zeeks africans whoever right it's it's that you 0.56

01:08:59.500 have a hard stance on one part of the multi-culti coalition you're trying to cram your jews and

01:09:06.140 muslims together and be like right get along and play nicely and weirdly it doesn't work

01:09:11.880 has that been going yeah well yeah exactly and so they have to ban anyone who has been um prominent

01:09:19.960 in these discussions and really the thing that always is the the only reason that this happens

01:09:25.820 because as we were talking about before this is done at the express pleasure of the home secretary

01:09:30.560 so the home secretary can just ban you right there's there's no you know that and they often

01:09:35.940 in the letter they will say you cannot appeal against this decision so it's just that the

01:09:40.180 home secretary's executive decision and so it's entirely dependent on public salience as in are

01:09:47.160 you present in the conversation if you're not present in the public conversation then you don't

01:09:51.820 get banned because they just haven't heard of you and they don't care about you and so you care about 0.52

01:09:55.340 your day if you are a famous i don't know communist turk who's like america deserved 9-11 and we 0.78

01:10:01.660 should destroy israel yeah you you become notable and they're like yeah you know i don't think he's 0.86

01:10:07.380 going to support multiculturalism actually and so they're trying really the thing that underpins all

01:10:13.200 of it is that britain is genuinely committed to trying to make woke globalism work like that's

01:10:19.440 what our system is if you are okay with woke globalism and for everyone like you know jews

01:10:26.360 muslims sikhs and whoever if you're okay with woke globalism you're completely fine and we also 0.83

01:10:31.860 ban anyone who has any kind of criminal record if they're a significant public figure so that's why 0.99

01:10:38.340 you're banned it's because you seem to be against woke globalism because they interpret your

01:10:43.140 opposition to israel as opposition to jews it's it's literally that simple uh anyway uh we got

01:10:49.700 video comments today samson and uh russian sorry while we go through that it's like uh um russian

01:10:58.000 says uh no one knows who restore britain are well we'll make them we have more canvases and make

01:11:02.220 field than any other party who are all deluded uh who sorry who are all dedicated to the cause

01:11:07.460 yeah so tell us a little bit about makefield then since we well makefield's been quite exciting

01:11:13.040 We've had, reform was shocked

01:11:15.480 The amount of patriots

01:11:16.980 We got up to canvas and campaign for us

01:11:19.080 And it's great because

01:11:21.000 You're kind of networking with people from all over the country

01:11:23.140 Who've kind of brought themselves in

01:11:24.460 Because they believe in the cause

01:11:26.400 And they believe in restore

01:11:27.400 And it's been very energetic

01:11:30.760 I'll be up there next week

01:11:32.260 And the week after

01:11:33.320 The thing is, reform could have had all of that energy

01:11:37.620 It was 0.95

01:11:39.760 it was always his election to lose it was always farish's election to lose but he chose these

01:11:47.120 crazy compromises he chose to ditch his base yeah he chose to hire half of um the boris wave

01:11:54.780 government you know yeah i remember when um jenrik got kicked out the conservatives as well

01:11:59.540 farage was so excited about taking him so why you're already in the lead in the polls what does

01:12:05.560 he bring to you well he brought a decline actually yeah instantly um you know and he as as you put

01:12:10.780 out he loses the activist base and you know you guys are up there for a party that represents

01:12:15.820 the british people yeah if for us i'm not going to do that well then i'm not going to vote for

01:12:19.880 you oh of course of course but you owe him his vote you owe him your vote yeah they do have that

01:12:24.520 attitude don't they i i really selfish you know it's it's not selfish it's presumptuous it just

01:12:30.500 assumes how dare you choose anyone else entitled yes exactly but also it would be one thing to

01:12:37.460 presume the vote if you were in an isolated position where you're like okay i'm certain

01:12:43.500 that the uh you know the brexiteers will vote for me because i'm nigel farage right and i'm

01:12:48.020 against the establishment but when you're standing shoulder to shoulder with the establishment

01:12:51.700 going no no you have to vote for me because it's my time it's got hillary clinton vibes you know

01:12:56.220 Yes. It's like it's her time. It's like it's her turn. It's like, I don't know, I'm not sure it is.

01:13:01.260 And, you know, we've got we've got competent lads on the ground who are actually pounding the beat against you.

01:13:06.400 So just saying. Anyway, let's go to the video comments.

01:13:10.500 There's this tweet going around that hits pretty hard here in Canada.

01:13:13.420 Of the 195 countries in the world, only six are in recession.

01:13:17.000 And these are the esteemed company. 1.00

01:13:19.160 Equatorial Guinea, famously the dumbest place on Earth. 1.00

01:13:21.920 Burma, which is currently at war with their neighbours. 0.99

01:13:24.420 Yemen, currently in civil war.

01:13:26.220 Venezuela, a failed socialist state

01:13:28.360 that was recently decapitated by the Americans.

01:13:30.860 Haiti and Canada elected the Liberal Party.

01:13:34.260 Twice.

01:13:35.680 I love how we didn't have to explain anything further on Haiti.

01:13:38.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:39.580 That was just brilliant.

01:13:40.480 It's just, you know what Haiti is. 1.00

01:13:42.220 Yeah, you just, you know, enjoy your mud cakes. 0.99

01:14:57.600 so i've been seeing a lot of teen takeover events recently and i can't help but feel that this is

01:15:10.200 basically them training for future riots now sure these events right now aren't that violent but i

01:15:17.380 can't help but think that they're probably figuring out how to actually communicate with each other on

01:15:22.420 the ground while doing this stuff and basically figure out who's best at coordinating how to

01:15:27.520 how to work their way around in like urban settings and figuring out like how quickly

01:15:32.580 police respond to their antics they're probably getting ready for some future event no no that's

01:15:37.680 precisely what's happening. They're testing the soft

01:15:39.760 underbelly of modern liberal society.

01:15:42.440 They coordinate via social media

01:15:44.020 and they know that individually

01:15:46.140 they don't get stopped

01:15:48.020 or arrested when they go into a Gregg's and just steal

01:15:49.940 sausage rolls or whatever.

01:15:51.580 Or when they

01:15:52.600 gang rush

01:15:54.480 some fancy store that has

01:15:57.560 posh stuff in it.

01:15:59.840 So they're just

01:16:01.580 essentially blowing off steam and having fun

01:16:03.920 and just taking advantage

01:16:05.920 of this profound weakness that we allow in our society.

01:16:09.040 Yeah, I wouldn't say they're kind of planning

01:16:10.680 for any future riots or training for them,

01:16:12.960 but it's just his kind of natural mob rule, animalistic,

01:16:16.820 you know, we're going to go cause trouble,

01:16:18.400 and it's natural to these people, you know.

01:16:20.020 We can, therefore we will, because it's fun.

01:16:22.300 I thought he was talking about the American protesters

01:16:24.020 getting more organized.

01:16:25.940 No, no, these sort of teen-taking things

01:16:28.300 is literally where a bunch of people on, like,

01:16:29.740 WhatsApp or social media or something,

01:16:31.280 it's like, ha-ha, should we go down and cause some trouble?

01:16:33.300 and, like, in previous eras, like, you know, way before your time, 0.97

01:16:37.500 the police would have been out there with truncheons 0.92

01:16:39.060 clubbing the crap out of them. 1.00

01:16:40.640 But obviously they're not now, so there's no barrier. 0.88

01:16:44.140 Like, it's all, like, the social contract.

01:16:45.540 It's like, well, we've all agreed that these rules are rational

01:16:47.420 and we won't break them.

01:16:48.200 It's like, okay, but what if these guys can't read?

01:16:51.420 They don't care.

01:16:52.300 They're just like, what can we do and what can't we do?

01:16:54.460 So, anyway.

01:16:56.660 There's some great comments here.

01:16:57.920 George says, Rupert continues to impress me.

01:17:00.580 Even against the dreaded anti-Semitism charge,

01:17:02.900 He stands by his words.

01:17:04.560 Restore is the first party I've ever joined,

01:17:06.080 and I don't regret it one bit.

01:17:07.180 In fact, I've been spreading Rupert's smiling face

01:17:08.720 all across London.

01:17:09.720 I want the bugs to be afraid.

01:17:10.920 Yeah, that's...

01:17:12.340 I forgot to mention this during the Rupert segment,

01:17:15.280 but the anti-Semitism scandal went like that.

01:17:18.920 Yes.

01:17:19.680 It was like, oh my God, look what he said.

01:17:21.500 And Rupert said, I don't care.

01:17:22.900 It just disappeared.

01:17:25.540 Evaporated.

01:17:26.380 Dissipated.

01:17:27.380 Exactly as you say, just disappeared.

01:17:29.300 Everyone thought this was going to be a major thing,

01:17:31.340 but because he just said, I don't care,

01:17:32.900 i think it's just never apologize you know if the moment you apologize and capitulate to their

01:17:38.040 language they've got you yes absolutely you just don't now you're dancing on the on the strings

01:17:43.500 yeah yeah and yeah the the fact that he just like i stand by it all carry on and everyone just

01:17:49.440 carried on so it's just amazing omar says fortune favors the bold the fact that rupert is willing

01:17:55.140 to bet on makerfield instead of playing political games to keep it safe actually bolsters people's

01:17:59.500 confidence that he's serious. He's the sort of

01:18:01.620 unapologetic, F your optics, I'm going

01:18:03.620 in, Leroy Jenkins energy,

01:18:05.360 the people have been waiting for. I've genuinely

01:18:07.340 been waiting for this for a long time.

01:18:09.480 For a guy who's just like, yeah, I don't care what you think

01:18:11.460 of it, we're getting it done.

01:18:13.340 The energy in Restore

01:18:15.380 is incredible. Yeah, it is fantastic.

01:18:17.380 Amazing. People are

01:18:19.420 so genuinely invested and optimistic.

01:18:21.920 It's like, you know you didn't get this in

01:18:23.480 Reform. No, exactly. No, Farage couldn't

01:18:25.480 summon this up. Because every

01:18:27.480 single time you say something that's slightly

01:18:29.120 controversial, he sort of distances

01:18:31.440 himself until he ended up with a

01:18:33.220 Maker Fiat candidate, and he couldn't

01:18:35.260 do it anymore. Exactly. I can't get anyone else

01:18:37.200 to do the thing, so I have to stand on him now.

01:18:39.220 Yeah. But you know that he's

01:18:40.880 seething. Yes.

01:18:43.660 What's the name of

01:18:44.580 the tower they have their offices in?

01:18:48.140 Milbank. Yeah, that's it.

01:18:49.080 Yeah, like Orphan, or whatever it is.

01:18:50.880 You know he's seething up there with Wormtongue

01:18:53.040 next to him, kicking him like, come on,

01:18:55.300 Zian Teix.

01:18:56.500 How did he get through? Another evil lair.

01:18:58.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how I view it.

01:19:02.740 It's like Isengard. 0.94

01:19:05.240 But yeah, you know he's absolutely seething up there, 1.00

01:19:07.700 which is hilarious.

01:19:09.080 Jimbo says,

01:19:09.780 When it comes to Enoch Powell,

01:19:10.740 I'm reminded of the Thomas Sowell quotes

01:19:12.260 how people will forgive you for being wrong,

01:19:14.780 but they will never forgive you for being right.

01:19:17.100 That's true.

01:19:18.100 That's absolutely true, yeah.

01:19:20.180 In my experience, says Daniel,

01:19:21.480 on the doors in Makersfield,

01:19:22.840 the reform guys are massively underestimating

01:19:24.640 the anti-Farage vote

01:19:26.040 and the number of people who would vote reform

01:19:27.860 but won't because of Farage.

01:19:28.980 I think that's very true, to be honest, because it kind of goes, a lot of people don't like, I don't know, he's just seen it as plastic, as fake, and people think he's sold out, like he's a snake oil salesman.

01:19:42.520 and these are patriotic people who won't vote for Farage

01:19:45.800 because time and time again he's shown to not be the guy

01:19:49.120 and I think they're massively underestimating it

01:19:52.480 and there's going to be a massive shock

01:19:54.160 when we get that massive, when the results are in on the 18th

01:19:59.640 I think it's going to be shocking

01:20:01.900 I think you're right though, I think that a lot of people view Farage

01:20:05.180 as basically a chancer

01:20:06.640 he's always had that kind of Jack the Lad energy

01:20:09.940 which I'm not saying isn't charismatic 0.99

01:20:11.660 you know if you're a pub you want to hang out with someone like nigel because he's got a load

01:20:15.080 of stories he's done a lot of interesting things but do i want him in charge of the country well 0.98

01:20:18.800 no obviously not you know i want someone who's very responsible and serious it's all flashy it's

01:20:23.600 all media and that that's kind of reflected in a lot of his meetings and stuff he does you know

01:20:28.420 he's got the flares it's butlin style and he's got a pint of a cigarette in hand you know um

01:20:34.620 henry ashman says have i got news for you is the reason boris johnson became a thing he was a nobody

01:20:39.660 until he presented one episode 0.95

01:20:40.920 and got popular because he's a bumbling clown 0.97

01:20:42.880 and launched a mayoral campaign from there 0.97

01:20:44.560 and onward to number 10.

01:20:46.260 They have an awful lot to answer for.

01:20:47.620 Yeah, they do.

01:20:48.300 That's entirely true.

01:20:50.280 And the thing is about Boris, 0.98

01:20:51.660 again, horrific traitor, 0.57

01:20:54.220 but he is charismatic and fun to listen to. 0.91

01:20:56.740 Again, it's one of those things.

01:20:57.780 I always tell people on the right,

01:20:59.600 like, look, one of the worst things that would happen

01:21:00.980 is if Boris came back, right?

01:21:02.660 Yeah.

01:21:02.860 It would be awful

01:21:03.600 because there's a significant section of the population

01:21:05.720 that doesn't understand, like, the politicos that we are,

01:21:08.940 what boris did and they will hear his well i just didn't mean two chaps here's something about the 0.94

01:21:14.840 iliad they'll see it as being charming and the like a big buffoon like lovable buffoon exactly

01:21:20.060 and they they will be won over by it so the last thing we want is boris coming back because he's

01:21:25.660 dangerous um jimbo says france and paris in particular is getting so bad that there really

01:21:31.340 is no incentives to stop the boats on their end well that's the that's the problem we've paid

01:21:34.720 them something like 600 million pounds now yeah and they've never stopped the boats because of 0.84

01:21:39.240 course why would they want these people in their country well i'm pretty sure they're launching

01:21:43.100 from um from belgium now aren't they i did hear that some had come yeah they have started to

01:21:48.240 launch from belgium as well yes so we're gonna have to stop paying them to stop the issue too

01:21:52.340 you know it's starting to it's getting a bit ridiculous yeah starting to think the dane

01:21:55.660 just doesn't work or you know take normandy take belgium it is english clay you know what like

01:22:03.400 unironically um that area of uh france was english for longer than it was french

01:22:09.720 unironically calais literally yeah literally was an english city for much longer uh anyway uh

01:22:18.080 sophie says uh guys it's just a fiery but mostly peaceful celebration and you know what it did seem

01:22:24.180 that way they certainly were celebrating nearly killing people uh arizona desert route says more

01:22:30.700 states and countries need to pass laws like florida if rioters from any group attack a vehicle the

01:22:34.960 people in the vehicle have the right to drive off without being persecuted for running over the

01:22:38.300 rioters and that's so totally true yes it's so obviously self-defense i mean the right of self

01:22:44.500 defense is the fundamental right like if you if you don't have the right to preserve yourself

01:22:49.960 what rights do you have yeah no yeah true and imagine you're in that situation where you're in

01:22:55.880 a car with your girlfriend or your family and you're being mobbed by these people smashing it

01:23:00.320 you know you've got no other choice i'm just running them over yeah i'm not letting them

01:23:04.960 get to my kids that's that's actually you it wouldn't even it wouldn't even be a question

01:23:09.720 would it you just put pedal to the metal and go get out of there absolutely uh what else alpha

01:23:18.780 of the beta says france surrendered before paris was blitzed in 1940 in 44 as the allies closed in

01:23:25.960 every major building and monument from Notre Dame to the Tomb of Napoleon and the Eiffel Tower

01:23:31.400 was wired with explosives and ordered to be destroyed by Hitler. 0.62

01:23:36.120 France dodged that bullet too when a general disobeyed Hitler's direct orders.

01:23:40.700 Paris has survived war over and over, more than London and Berlin.

01:23:44.000 It survived liberation, but it can't survive liberalism.

01:23:49.300 Yep.

01:23:51.460 White Rider says,

01:23:52.600 i'm all in favor of france being colonized but it should be by the british they're our ancient 0.98

01:23:57.640 enemy africans just don't have the same love of the game yeah they're not going to be at war with 0.65

01:24:01.900 france for over 100 years straight it's just not happening yeah george says i don't mind leftists

01:24:07.380 who are against uh free speech being banned from anything they don't have that principle and cheer 0.92

01:24:11.620 when we are removed from platforms and arrested so i don't care what happens to clowns like jen

01:24:15.120 and his son yeah and that's honestly that's why i'm not crying about it like you know if i were in

01:24:19.100 charge i wouldn't be banning people for ideological reasons but then i wouldn't be running a

01:24:23.740 multicultural country so i wouldn't need to protect it but here we are and i've got no

01:24:28.380 particular sympathy for people like you who would be happy for us to be banned sigil stone says 0.50

01:24:33.860 the british government finally found the turk they don't want opening a barbershop in england

01:24:38.380 poetry and you know i think what i think it is is because they're actual turks as well 0.52

01:24:47.820 Because all the barbershops are run by Kyrgyz.

01:24:51.360 Writing is Turkish, aren't they? 1.00

01:24:52.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:24:53.480 I don't know why they think that Turkish barbershop 0.99

01:24:55.900 sounds better than Kurdish barbershop. 0.99

01:24:58.100 For the same reason that every Arab restaurant 0.91

01:25:01.200 calls itself Lebanese food. 0.69

01:25:02.920 Oh, really?

01:25:03.540 Yes.

01:25:03.900 That's right. 1.00

01:25:04.580 And if you see a Moroccan in there, run. 1.00

01:25:07.480 They don't know how to cook. 1.00

01:25:08.520 They will never learn how to cook. 1.00

01:25:10.180 If you see an Egyptian in there 1.00

01:25:12.000 and you've already consumed the food, run to a hospital. 1.00

01:25:15.020 The thing is, I'm sure that the average British person

01:25:17.380 doesn't know the difference between a Kurd and a Turk

01:25:19.680 or care 1.00

01:25:21.280 and I don't think they've got a positive view of Turkey

01:25:23.100 and a negative view of Kurdistan

01:25:24.540 I don't think British people think about it a lot really

01:25:27.440 it's just kind of

01:25:28.360 the whole region of the world is

01:25:30.900 it's in my mind a lot 1.00

01:25:32.640 it's like weird foreigners doing weird foreign things 1.00

01:25:35.100 way to put it 1.00

01:25:35.980 why would I care

01:25:38.300 sorry

01:25:41.520 I didn't know

01:25:43.180 Cenk was Hassan's uncle but it's nice to know 1.00

01:25:45.200 you really can deport or ban the whole family 0.70

01:25:47.000 yeah i mean well the notes yeah it's actually kind of crazy just how much privilege hassan

01:25:53.160 comes from like i can't even imagine like you know he he was born in america as an anchor baby

01:25:58.400 sent back to turkey to be raised as a turk right until he's like in his late teens and then he

01:26:04.540 comes back um and then gets a job with his uncle who's got a big successful news network right and 0.84

01:26:10.300 his dad was a multi-millionaire business owner anyway uh connected to the turkish government 0.92

01:26:15.020 right so it's like this like the it's prime nepo baby and so obviously he goes full communist yeah

01:26:22.040 and it's like okay but listen turk i don't want you know have communism in turkey if you want 0.70

01:26:28.540 but i don't want that here thank you very much but yeah so like you know i've got no particular

01:26:35.760 sympathy turks i think massacred their own communists quite impressively yeah to sort of

01:26:42.640 stay part of NATO.

01:26:43.720 That's got a lot of people.

01:26:44.820 Oh, yes.

01:26:45.580 Yes.

01:26:47.000 They were absolutely ruthless

01:26:48.380 against the left.

01:26:49.180 The left still has some kind of

01:26:50.840 terrorist infrastructure there.

01:26:52.920 And then, weirdly enough, 0.98

01:26:54.880 the Kurds, 1.00

01:26:56.120 who had been the ones

01:26:57.140 who executed the Armenian genocide,

01:27:00.280 they turned communists afterwards.

01:27:03.700 Now this is...

01:27:04.800 Leave me alone.

01:27:05.440 This is why the left loves... 1.00

01:27:06.680 The West loves the Kurds. 1.00

01:27:08.060 Because they're communists. 1.00

01:27:08.980 Because they're communists. 0.99

01:27:10.020 They're quite mental communists as well. 1.00

01:27:11.580 Yes, the worst kind of, like, the worst kind of communists. 0.99

01:27:16.140 Speaking about Cenk Uygur, right,

01:27:18.380 this has always been a weird thing about Cenk's career.

01:27:21.940 His media outlet is called The Young Turks.

01:27:24.300 Yes. 0.99

01:27:25.080 The Young Turks were the group responsible

01:27:26.800 for carrying out the Armenian genocide.

01:27:28.640 Yes.

01:27:29.240 And he employs Anna Kasparian, an Armenian woman.

01:27:32.080 Yes. 0.97

01:27:32.780 So it's literally like some Jewish guy

01:27:35.800 appearing on a news network called The Hitler Youth.

01:27:39.400 Kind of. 0.83

01:27:40.120 the young turks were also responsible for the genocide in mount lebanon yeah a third of the 0.99

01:27:46.140 population died of starvation because the turks imposed a total siege and wouldn't let any grains

01:27:51.920 go up into the mountains you know that cenkuga is an armenian genocide denier as well he's written

01:27:57.580 about it in the past like he doesn't believe it happened but what what i think that what i think 0.88

01:28:02.900 we can take from the young turks right is actually how successful liberalism can be

01:28:07.920 at distaching people from their own context right yes i don't think cenk actually knew very much

01:28:13.740 about the history of the young turks right and the actual genocides and this is why like later

01:28:18.460 after he'd founded it he had to write articles denying it because i don't i think he was like

01:28:22.800 no i just don't think that's true because i don't think he knew right and i don't think anna casparia 0.64

01:28:27.340 knew that the young turks were a genocidal group against the armenians yeah and so them being

01:28:32.780 raised or i didn't think cenk was raised in america but like anna being raised in america 0.98

01:28:36.820 like detached from her own tribal history like has made it so that there's this kind of amnesia

01:28:43.900 right so cenk doesn't really realize he's promoting genocide and anna doesn't realize

01:28:48.120 that she's the part of the group that was victim of the genocide and it's all just an aesthetic

01:28:52.740 yeah where it's you know like he's an armenian under the young turks talking about western 0.93

01:28:59.140 liberalism and promoting shit lit politics like that's that's kind of amazing the ability it has 0.84

01:29:05.280 to bring these two groups together. 0.95

01:29:07.120 It kind of shows that liberalism,

01:29:08.580 it disconnects you from who you are,

01:29:10.400 your history and heritage.

01:29:11.580 Completely. 1.00

01:29:13.060 Even if you are foreign, 1.00

01:29:14.360 you're just a sloppy humor. 1.00

01:29:16.280 But at the same time,

01:29:16.300 you still end up picking your own side.

01:29:18.420 Yeah.

01:29:19.300 At the same time,

01:29:20.180 you still end up picking your own side eventually.

01:29:22.720 And so now Anna Kasparian

01:29:23.860 has had a sort of revival of her Armenian identity

01:29:26.140 and speaking about the Armenians

01:29:28.520 who ended up in Palestine

01:29:29.360 as a result of the genocide.

01:29:31.480 They ended up in Lebanon,

01:29:32.400 they ended up in Palestine, 0.96

01:29:33.300 they ended up everywhere. 0.99

01:29:33.900 and actually nobody minded

01:29:36.540 the Armenian migration.

01:29:38.500 Nobody ever objected. 0.98

01:29:40.640 And you know why that is though,

01:29:41.800 don't you?

01:29:42.800 They work, they don't.

01:29:43.840 Because they're Christians. 0.99

01:29:44.900 Well, yes. 0.95

01:29:45.980 It's literally the reason.

01:29:47.120 They're Christians.

01:29:47.720 Therefore, they have all these virtues.

01:29:49.000 So they built a wonderful university.

01:29:50.720 They built an excellent school system. 0.97

01:29:52.540 They controlled the gold trade in Lebanon,

01:29:55.120 which is immensely lucrative.

01:29:56.800 I bet.

01:29:58.240 They're in business. 1.00

01:29:59.300 Arabs and their gold. 1.00

01:30:00.180 I bet they bloody love those chains. 1.00

01:30:01.280 They love these things 0.92

01:30:02.260 and they're actually five percent of the population and when they migrated they would

01:30:06.500 have been a much bigger percentage yeah and people were like oh okay just you know you're

01:30:12.980 welcome to squat here and build your life because they're not um actively against the other

01:30:18.020 population no not in any way but yeah i i like your point here though calum like this this

01:30:23.000 disconnecting people from their own heritage i think is actually genuinely the power because

01:30:27.760 you were saying well notice how she fell back into her Armenian identity well i've been following

01:30:32.340 the young turks for a very long time this only happened because we were like um hello are you

01:30:37.860 paying attention to what you are right he is and what your platform's called so it's basically it

01:30:42.680 was public pressure from people who were like you be the thing that you authentically are yes because

01:30:48.200 otherwise she would have happily lived in liberal la la land yes having lost her identity yeah

01:30:53.060 just not understand who you are and it it kind of goes for you know other people english people

01:30:59.260 and so on they don't understand our own history and who we are so it doesn't just apply to them

01:31:05.960 it's universal i had a conversation with a taxi driver a while ago and uh english guy i was like

01:31:12.340 we ended up talking about identity i don't even know how i don't think i raised it but i was i was

01:31:16.620 away from his arm just just british i was like what do you mean just british and he was like

01:31:21.400 well, are you English?

01:31:23.600 He's like, no, no, no, I'm just British.

01:31:24.780 He was obviously English, but he had lost his own identity

01:31:28.320 in the multi-policy identity of British.

01:31:32.060 That's really weird.

01:31:33.240 It's a really weird disconnection.

01:31:35.040 I think it's tragic, to be honest,

01:31:36.560 especially the loss of a lot of regional identity.

01:31:39.100 Terrible.

01:31:40.280 The Cockneys had disappeared. 1.00

01:31:43.060 Everyone just sounds like they're from London nowadays.

01:31:46.340 A lot of dialects and stuff.

01:31:48.020 It really is sad. 0.90

01:31:49.280 that roadman accent man is the worst mle i hate it i hate it so much i don't it genuinely annoys 0.84
