The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1450

00:00:00.660 Hello and welcome to the podcast of The Load Seaters, episode 1450 for Monday, the 29th of June, 2026.

00:00:09.100 I'm your host, Luca, joined today by Beau and Firas, the dream team of Monday.

00:00:15.060 And today we're going to be talking to you all about Andy Burnham's plans for power,

00:00:19.020 now that his road to power seems pretty inevitable.

00:00:22.860 All the opposition has been crushed, and it's going to be Burnham,

00:00:27.740 which is something i'll need to catch up on because i've been uh digitally detoxing for

00:00:32.780 the past week and it's been very nice so time for the black pills again i assume uh then we're going

00:00:38.200 to talk about the king's uh not necessarily well it is a betrayal but more of his latest betrayal

00:00:43.900 there's a there's a recurring pattern with the king's behavior and then we're going to talk

00:00:48.320 about the um what you've dubbed very um beautifully the the grating shittification

00:00:54.540 It wasn't my term originally, but I'm adopting it to describe the current state of affairs.

00:01:00.240 Happy Monday, everyone.

00:01:01.680 So, before we get through those segments then, just to let you know, we have some announcements.

00:01:06.020 It is Monday, so at three o'clock, of course, you've got a realpolitik for us,

00:01:11.140 where you're going to be talking about the Straits of Hamoz and Lebanon. 0.95

00:01:14.360 Yes, it seems that the Iranians have won the battle for the Straits,

00:01:18.540 but might be losing Lebanon and having to fight for Yemen again.

00:01:21.840 Right, well, go and tune in to Firas to get his takes all about that. And just to say as well, the third part of my series on Chronicles now, talking all about the rhyme of the ancient mariner, it's an absolutely wonderful poem at the beginning of the Romantic Movement by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

00:01:41.760 and it's one of the most enjoyable things that I've actually spoken about on Chronicles so far.

00:01:49.400 Coleridge's mind and the philosophy and theology that he infuses into his poem is just so moving, so compelling.

00:01:58.640 And I've also borrowed heavily from a wonderful piece of work by Malcolm Geith,

00:02:03.440 where he also analyzes this poem and talks about Coleridge's own life.

00:02:07.780 and so I think it's really good a lot of people have been really enjoying it and the first part

00:02:13.420 of it is actually freemium as well so if you'd like to start there for free you're welcome to

00:02:18.740 and then all the other wonderful premium content on the website is five pounds a month so with all

00:02:23.680 that said then Bo tell us about Mr Burnham. I was going to say episode 52 that's a year right?

00:02:28.740 Yeah it's been going over a year now and same for you of course Firas as well. It's gone very fast

00:02:33.100 isn't it it has it really has it's nice to build up a body of work yeah and then you just go oh

00:02:38.660 bloody hell that's all there now how did that happen so fast yeah yeah okay well let's talk

00:02:43.920 about uh king of the north king bumham the first no sternum burnham and his eyeliner let's talk

00:02:50.440 about him because he did a speech today it happened shortly before we went on air this

00:02:54.680 segment was going to be all about what burnham plans to say what we think burnham is going to

00:03:00.420 say but the speech was actually delivered shortly before this or about an hour ago or so how

00:03:05.940 considerate yeah and i listened to it all on times one and a half speed so i listened to it finishing

00:03:11.280 just about 10 15 minutes ago so um okay let's talk all about it it was in the news cycle this

00:03:16.780 morning it was like you know what what's he's gonna what is he gonna say because i suppose one

00:03:20.700 of the first points to say about it is that quite often even politicians that are really quite well

00:03:25.920 known one way or another people say do we really know them do we really know what their plan for

00:03:32.520 government is you know like even someone that's been in the eye for years and years uh in the

00:03:37.120 public eye for years and years like burnham a lot of people will say legitimately but wait i don't

00:03:42.020 really know i don't feel like i know him and i don't really know exactly in any real detail what

00:03:47.220 his plan for government will be i mean that was one of the things that um lots of leaders uh

00:03:52.900 suffer from that criticism even starmer people say even at the end of starmer's time they're like

00:03:57.300 we never really got to know we never really got to know what he thinks about things he wouldn't

00:04:01.540 that's us right well i mean the last labor manifesto which burnham has said he's plans

00:04:06.900 to stick by at least fundamentally he has to stick by it otherwise he has to call a general election

00:04:11.940 yeah which he has also ruled out yeah uh well gets that right at the end of the segment but

00:04:15.780 he's basically ruled that out so you'd sort of have to say that that largely he's going to stick

00:04:19.700 to it um but it'll twiddle around the edges um so what is his plan because the last labor manifesto

00:04:28.240 just before going into that last general election was very very thin yes wasn't it it's very and

00:04:32.980 deliberately so to give him starmer enough wiggle room to do more or less as he pleases yes that was

00:04:38.700 one of the big criticisms of the last labor manifesto you read it you're like well what is

00:04:42.200 it though exactly really there's not a whole list of promises there isn't a whole padded out vision

00:04:48.240 of what britain should be nothing like that and the most uh radical stuff in there the stuff that

00:04:54.280 you'd really expect to maybe have the uh the people's vote behind you when it comes to you

00:05:00.260 know like scrapping the jury trial or um uh decriminalizing women having self-abortions

00:05:05.840 those sorts of like really radical things they obviously weren't in there yeah a whole number

00:05:11.240 of things yeah sorry no i'll just snuck in which is exactly the way they did mass immigration in

00:05:17.240 the first place wasn't on the manifesto either there was nothing in the manifesto about giving

00:05:21.380 or trying to give away the chagos islands to a chinese proxy no nothing like that was there

00:05:26.340 no there was nothing about that will put peter mandelson who is working as a mole for a foreign

00:05:32.180 entity jeff repstein in a really sensitive position nothing like that it was very very

00:05:36.860 deliberately liked on detail okay so all right that's starmer and the labor government what

00:05:42.600 about burnham then what what about him now he has been in the public eye for years i remember black

00:05:48.600 in the blair years i remember him being part of the team quite a relatively small one but he still

00:05:54.060 had he still had name recognition um and in the brown government as well uh certainly a bit more

00:06:00.580 in the brown government i mean i remember when he went to become mayor of manchester he was already

00:06:05.500 certainly basically household name not a full-blown household name where everyone would know him by

00:06:10.900 site but if you paid attention to news and politics you would you would know better i mean

00:06:15.640 he tried to run for labor leader twice before didn't he and lost like he lost to corbin famously

00:06:19.900 that time so okay despite the fact that he's been around for 20 plus years or more um still what

00:06:26.420 exactly is it we we know that he's like a bit of a well maybe not a bit he's quite left yes um his

00:06:32.560 identity as a northerner likes the football yeah right um normal guy but so but so what is and you

00:06:40.760 know he's again over the years he's talked for hours and hours in front of cameras but still

00:06:45.860 people want to know but okay but right now you're imminently going to be in the the big chair the

00:06:52.640 top seat imminently what is your plan for government so all right he has did a speech

00:06:58.140 where he laid it out and it was i don't know about half hour long 45 minutes long or so something

00:07:03.560 like that and i suppose at the heart of it he talked about what he calls manchesterism i.e what

00:07:10.840 he did in manchester as mayor of manchester roll that out on sort of a national level in various

00:07:16.200 ways because he thinks he did such a fantastic job of managing manchester added a couple of buses

00:07:22.920 well he did to be fair to him have quite a strong team of people around him all affirming that he

00:07:27.640 was doing a tremendous job of manchester yeah so that would give you that impression i suppose

00:07:33.080 So here's just a few headlines.

00:07:34.300 Burnham to give mayors more power in 10-year plan to transform economy.

00:07:38.140 10-year plan is a bit reminiscent of a Soviet five-year plan, isn't it?

00:07:42.040 But he wants 10 years.

00:07:43.560 Five years isn't enough.

00:07:44.600 He needs 10 years, he thinks.

00:07:46.800 So just to give you a quick idea that it's all in the news.

00:07:49.240 Well, that's, if I just may, on that point as well,

00:07:52.120 that's already a terrible idea for people like us, right?

00:07:56.700 Because ultimately, those mayors that are going to have the most powers

00:08:00.920 are, of course, going to be the city mayors.

00:08:03.080 And it's the cities that have become the most diverse and most quickly. 0.75

00:08:06.580 And so you're actually going to end up with the Londonification, where you just get these hard progressive mayors using progressivism basically as a cudgel against the native population to bring in, to cement the power of the foreign cultures and the foreign lobby groups within those cities. 0.76

00:08:24.440 And because of the demographics, it means that they're going to get to just govern in perpetuity with a greater leash. 0.50

00:08:31.640 Well, let's talk about that right away,

00:08:32.720 because that was one of the main things in his speech,

00:08:35.880 was talking about devolution, further devolution.

00:08:38.740 Because what Britain needs is a few more layers of government.

00:08:41.820 Like there's not enough bureaucracy,

00:08:43.640 like there's not enough red tape as it is.

00:08:46.120 I know, I know, it's mad.

00:08:49.720 In Bowes Britain, I would be doing away,

00:08:51.820 I would reverse all the Blair era and subsequent era of devolution.

00:08:56.480 No, the country worked much better in the mid-90s and before.

00:09:00.960 much better. I would get rid of those extra layers of government in Scotland and Wales

00:09:07.320 and Northern Ireland and all the mayors, all of it. Clear it all out.

00:09:11.460 It's just patronage. You're just creating more bureaucracy that you can fill with ideological

00:09:17.180 fellow travellers that you can use to extract resources from the productive to give to the

00:09:22.200 unproductive. That's the long and short of it. So he's promising more of that because that has

00:09:27.640 never been tried uh okay thank you andy burnham it makes the country weaker and what i and less

00:09:34.160 efficient i would argue he argues the exact opposite he's saying that centralized power in

00:09:38.920 whitehall is less efficient but anyway okay the problem is i think you touched on it there

00:09:45.300 the problem would be would it not he doesn't address any of this that if you've got somewhere

00:09:50.880 that's um conquered let's say off the top of my head birmingham oldham blackburn wherever

00:09:57.360 somewhere that's already a foreign enclave well they vote themselves into local power local

00:10:02.240 government whether it's the council they dominate the council or it's a mayor whatever it is and

00:10:07.200 then they just use their powers their devolved powers and their devolved ability to set and

00:10:12.720 set budgets and spend money they spend it in their tribal ethnic and religious interests

00:10:18.400 Or in Burnham's case, on the interests of his wife's company.

00:10:21.440 I mean, he ended up giving massive contracts in Manchester

00:10:25.620 to a company where his wife was a very senior person,

00:10:28.760 and that was completely legal and above board,

00:10:32.020 and there was nothing to see there, I'm assured.

00:10:35.900 Yeah, right, yeah.

00:10:38.000 It's just like in London and Sadiq Khan,

00:10:39.800 you give him enough power,

00:10:41.020 and he's just going to deny that there's any issue with rapes

00:10:43.920 and make everything about Eid.

00:10:45.240 Yes, yeah. Forever. 0.87

00:10:47.120 you give you give a birmingham or blackburn or wherever enough power and they're like this is 0.78

00:10:51.600 this is we're doing sharia now or whatever i mean that is a bit of an extreme but it's not that far 0.99

00:10:56.960 down the road is it something like that oh we just award ourselves to build endless mosques 0.93

00:11:01.920 and destroy all churches or whatever it is you know great okay okay so but it's about it's about

00:11:11.060 hope and inspiration as far as andy's concerned that's how he's messaging this hope in every

00:11:15.760 heart you said it twice that's what this is um all right just a quick run through some of the

00:11:20.820 headlines just to give you an idea yeah burnham starts to sketch out his vision as potential

00:11:26.580 prime minister um what was the headline here andy burnham to propose devolution plan in first major

00:11:32.140 policy speech since launching beard okay oh and a number 10 in the north i think he's actually

00:11:36.960 calling it number 10 north yeah that was one of his big things again part of devolution in

00:11:40.740 manchester sort of a second number 10 in manchester that is the third wall that is

00:11:48.660 third worldization basically the idea here is that you come in from a certain region you take

00:11:55.000 control of the central government you redistribute resources to your own region create more jobs

00:12:00.220 there and then you switch and then what you end up with is layers and layers and layers of

00:12:05.580 bureaucracy in each region and total paralysis because there are too many cooks essentially

00:12:11.680 everybody's a regulator everybody's in charge of overseeing something nobody's in charge of doing

00:12:16.980 something and so this is what burnham is in nigeria they have the same system they alternate

00:12:23.200 presidencies between north and south or at least they used to they alternate them between north

00:12:27.240 and south when it's the north's turn to rule they loot the treasury for the benefit of the north

00:12:31.260 when it's the south's turn they loot the treasury for the benefit of the south so this is what

00:12:35.400 burnham is proposing here and this is the great vision for britain sounds like a wonderful idea

00:12:41.300 yeah apparently it's all it's about fairness though it's all about fairness it's not about

00:12:45.320 yes i'm all for looters justice but i don't think it means what to me what it means to them

00:12:50.660 extra layers of bureaucracy and governance yeah too many cooks or as honest abe the illinois rail

00:12:57.580 splitter might have said too many pigs for the tits okay that's a farmer's that's a farmer's

00:13:05.180 idiom that one okay give me 10 years to transform britain i don't think so mate i think he's gonna

00:13:11.500 get 10 weeks is going to extend to 10 weeks and then people will be like this is just starmer

00:13:18.660 with glasses and a funny accent yeah and more left-leaning um so okay here's some of the

00:13:24.880 takeaway points is basically talking about, well, quickly read it, Andy Berman has made

00:13:29.680 his first speech. He says he will take power out of the centre with an expansion of the

00:13:35.160 Prime Minister's office to Manchester, what he calls Number 10 North, describing it as

00:13:39.340 the nerve centre of a rewired Britain. Interestingly, this speech he did, it was like a conference

00:13:45.200 speech where every few lines he gets a clap. Or every time he pauses, someone tries to

00:13:50.280 start clapping that sort of so it's delivered to a uh a room of sycophants no questions from

00:13:55.720 no questions from journalists at the end seriously yeah he didn't answer any questions no no how

00:14:02.760 embarrassing yeah for a man without a mandate i i think i saw the state of um what's it called

00:14:09.800 alistair campbell's show and all of that saying that it's a great idea that he's staying away

00:14:13.080 from the press um because that is how you deliver accountability you see you didn't know that of

00:14:19.160 that right i'll bet you didn't know that that is how you deliver accountability so they're praising

00:14:24.200 him for pulling a biden and being hidden in a basement except that instead of being hidden in

00:14:28.600 the basement he's hidden on a train i'm happy for the train to continue until it reaches the north

00:14:33.080 sea and then and it's it's terrific as well isn't it because they they build the entire argument for

00:14:39.000 devolution on the fact that it's like oh well those people outside of london just aren't being

00:14:43.480 listened to yeah and and that's the entire premise behind it and therefore we need to put power

00:14:48.360 closer to those local people and it's like or you could just do the things that the country is

00:14:54.900 screaming at you to do and we know you've heard them because you've spent decades now telling us

00:15:00.640 that you've heard us but you disagree with us and that you're going to go in this direction

00:15:04.240 so it's not really a question of not you know channels of information and not being heard or

00:15:09.980 you know things getting lost in translation it's more the fact that there is one ideological blob

00:15:15.460 at the centre of power, and it's going to dictate to the rest of the country

00:15:20.300 what the future is going to look like, and all this actually changes

00:15:24.200 is the fact there's going to be now two ideological centres

00:15:27.960 that are basically, apart from one wanting slightly more money for the North

00:15:32.880 than for London, doesn't really have any ideological distinction between them.

00:15:38.000 I mean, it just seems to me that over the last, well, since the war,

00:15:42.160 World War II, I mean, leftism, communism, socialism,

00:15:46.500 whatever you want to call it, just keep sort of trying

00:15:49.020 to rebrand itself, just classic Fabian stuff.

00:15:51.900 Yes.

00:15:52.220 Trying to, without saying we're socialists,

00:15:54.580 we're communists, just keep rebranding itself

00:15:57.840 in different ways.

00:15:59.040 Mr. Burnham's Manchesterism is just another example

00:16:02.640 of that because he's talking about how his number 10 North

00:16:08.200 will be the nerve centre of a rewired Britain.

00:16:10.720 He says the expanded office will be the conduit to redistribute power and resources across the UK.

00:16:17.980 Redistribute.

00:16:18.820 So not production, redistribution.

00:16:22.700 Yeah. 0.99

00:16:23.280 Let's tax the productive more. 1.00

00:16:24.880 And his top tax advisor or his top economic advisor is, I believe, some Liberian lady? 0.98

00:16:30.360 He's got more than one. 0.94

00:16:31.260 Some West African lady? 1.00

00:16:32.080 He's got some Goldman Sachs man and he's got that black woman. 1.00

00:16:34.900 Yeah, and they're Marxists. 1.00

00:16:36.600 Full-on commies.

00:16:38.560 famously successful economists the africans yes yes the liberian economy is a particular shining

00:16:45.000 example whenever you hear about the redistribution of resources that's how they'll couch it these 0.95

00:16:50.020 days just be a bit suspicious what would you really mean i mean stealing from people that

00:16:56.640 have got something it means more taxes state sponsor theft of people that have got anything

00:17:00.600 yes and wasting it on nonsense bear in mind the exodus of people that have already happened

00:17:07.560 taking place from Britain in light of Starmer coming in

00:17:11.380 and the tax burden.

00:17:13.380 Burnham says there is an imbalance in resources.

00:17:15.600 Things aren't completely fair, you see.

00:17:18.140 It's about equality.

00:17:19.480 There's an imbalance in resources

00:17:20.580 between national and local governments

00:17:22.540 and promises the biggest rebalancing the country has seen.

00:17:27.960 While promising to stick to existing fiscal rules.

00:17:30.420 I mean, he's either going to not do it

00:17:33.400 or blow up the bond markets.

00:17:35.160 These seem to be the two options. 0.93

00:17:36.860 and already the currency is falling because nobody has any confidence in these insane leftists

00:17:44.420 and so he's just dancing on the edge of the debt crisis and that seems to be the plan

00:17:51.300 whether you're a normal individual or a national government you can only spend beyond your means

00:17:56.200 for so long yes and then you can only borrow again whether you're an individual or a national

00:18:00.300 government you can only borrow to cover that for so long yes before everything falls apart okay 0.98

00:18:05.580 so he's talking about the biggest council house building program uh in the post-war period again

00:18:10.500 world or two he's talking about well we're going to be housing i wonder yeah all right oh well i

00:18:15.420 was going to leave that towards the end but let's just say that uh what he doesn't talk about in

00:18:19.800 this speech is very very telling should i just say it now he talks about so many things from

00:18:25.040 business rates to universities the peterloo massacre gets a gets a mention oh really because

00:18:29.800 of course it does yeah um you know he talks about loads and loads and loads of different things

00:18:34.120 the high street in he does talk about um a number of different aspects of society not one word about

00:18:41.480 legal or illegal migration not one word about demographic decline not one word about the small

00:18:46.220 boats and he wants to talk about hope in every heart wants to talk about bringing back hope

00:18:52.000 to the country about prosperity in every postcode but not a word about our invasion not a word about

00:18:58.020 the millions of extra people here that are a detriment to our society and our economy nothing 0.97

00:19:03.060 not a word well in which case fine be like that that's your prerogative i mean you're basically

00:19:09.560 just following every prime minister we've had in my living memory but don't be surprised when

00:19:14.960 denial of that issue ends up shattering you as you know it immediately made starmer incredibly

00:19:21.820 unpopular because he was not willing to deal with the dark truth underlying things like southport

00:19:27.800 underlying things like henry novak and tragically horrifically he is going to have to deal with

00:19:33.720 similar instances they're becoming more frequent not less and so it's like fine don't include it

00:19:38.920 in your speech andy but this issue is going to come knocking on your number 10 door in manchester

00:19:45.160 or london hell or high water so you're not getting out of it oh yeah reality won't leave him alone

00:19:52.040 of course yeah thing about reality yeah it always bites you it's got a habit of rearing its ugly

00:19:58.300 head which is the one who knocked yeah so again not a word not a word about any of that the most

00:20:05.660 the biggest most existential thing the most important issue of our age i would argue that

00:20:09.980 nearly everything salient political issue and the one issue that's put reform on the map and the one

00:20:14.460 issue where the conservatives have completely discredited themselves and and and it all flows

00:20:19.300 from the immigration issue it's the biggest problem facing britain nearly all if not all

00:20:25.540 policy is downstream of that you want to talk about housing you want to talk about the higher

00:20:29.000 street you want to talk about hope in the hearts of young people you're not going to talk about

00:20:33.280 the demographics and immigration well no because it's just hardcore materialism isn't it they think

00:20:39.540 if they can just bring into being a certain level of economic abundance for people that all of these

00:20:46.060 other more metaphysical issues will just peter out and won't matter to people but they do because

00:20:51.000 and will because they always have done for all of time even materialism if the if these people

00:20:56.020 were materialists they would end up being well forgive me for saying so but race realists

00:21:01.700 they would say that different groups of people have shown very different propensities and that

00:21:07.040 is what the material sciences show but they refuse that so they they aren't strictly materialists

00:21:14.300 They have this spiritual component that insists that culture doesn't matter, history doesn't matter, origin doesn't matter, nothing matters except year zero.

00:21:23.560 History doesn't matter unless it's Peterloo.

00:21:25.980 Unless it's Peterloo, exactly.

00:21:28.000 Okay, well I thought, let's have just a couple of minutes of King Bumham I, first of his name.

00:21:35.120 Let's hear just a few minutes where he describes what Manchesterism is.

00:21:37.740 coming up just before this clip begins i'm going to play you um he was he was talking about his

00:21:43.760 vision to sort of uh have prosperity in every postcode how is it actually going to do what's

00:21:49.900 he actually going to change in government and whitehall and notice some of the leftist buzz

00:21:55.280 if not communist buzzwords and the fact that it's all very very vague so i'm only going to play a

00:22:01.520 few minutes of this and you think oh maybe if you listen to the whole speech he does drill down

00:22:04.900 into detail about exactly what he means and perhaps it isn't just managerial buzzwords

00:22:09.620 no it isn't this is a flavor of what he was saying today

00:22:13.720 to make it happen we will bring about the biggest rebalancing of power our country has seen it is

00:22:25.200 time for whitehall to accept that growth cannot be ordered from the top down instead it can only

00:22:32.480 be nurtured from the bottom up it comes from having the power at ground level to make a real

00:22:38.240 difference from a clear shared vision that everyone can understand and investors can back

00:22:45.340 it comes from running sound finances as we have done here in greater manchester

00:22:51.880 well like in birmingham like in most of the councils in this country is sound fiscal prudent

00:22:59.720 fiscal really you're just going to give them more power to be corrupt and embezzle money

00:23:05.840 and waste money on nonsense but okay that's that's his idea which in turn gives businesses

00:23:12.040 the stability and the confidence to invest increasing their productivity and adoption

00:23:17.680 of new technology oh that's that just equals productivity just just new technologies so

00:23:24.520 basically people what do you mean what exactly do you mean voting really leads to technology

00:23:29.100 this is his understanding of technology doesn't explain it for us i don't know i mean if if that

00:23:34.380 were the case having a local election every other week would generate growth oh yeah yeah which is 0.94

00:23:39.260 stupid on the face of it let's have smaller and smaller walls with more and more and more 0.77

00:23:43.820 representatives and that means productivity does it does it it just seems absurd did you see his 1.00

00:23:50.220 chief of staff james burnell i know james again he's been around since day one he's been around

00:23:54.960 since forever supposedly his uh one of his researchers had downloaded child porn onto

00:24:00.340 his computer without his knowledge i hadn't know that okay yes and burnham was welcomed immediately

00:24:05.900 by the labor friends of israel so he's going to have a big problem with the gaza mps and the gaza

00:24:10.220 faction in in his uh in his own party that's going to be one of the first fights and when he tries to

00:24:17.320 he says that he's going to make welfare fairer i'm willing to bet that they are going to oppose him

00:24:23.340 on these grounds in particular when that when he tries to do that if he tries to do that i don't

00:24:27.840 see him doing it but let's see i suspect when he becomes prime minister uh maybe the left of the

00:24:33.920 party will give him a little bit of leeway for a few weeks or a few months but basically most of

00:24:37.780 the people on the left that despise starmer and always wanted to undermine and get rid of starmer

00:24:42.540 they will just do exactly the same to him i suspect maybe might be slightly fewer but it'll

00:24:49.220 be basically the same thing because he will have he will be faced with the realities of governing

00:24:52.720 and uh he won't be able to do as many left-leaning things as he wants and they will they will hate

00:24:58.960 him and punish him for that they're stuck if they punish him and make him unpopular they all lose

00:25:02.880 their jobs if they go along with him they betray their voters so they're stuck between a rock and

00:25:07.800 a hard place let's just finish here a few couple more minutes it comes from placing our universities

00:25:14.420 at the heart of local economies as all the mayors do and bringing the innovation-led approach

00:25:20.880 through startups and scale-ups it comes from innovation through startups what are you talking

00:25:28.560 about exactly what do you mean that's just nonsense ballroom talk i mean the fact that he

00:25:34.280 thinks that it comes through the universities rather than the tax code britain is one of the

00:25:38.580 most punitive tax codes for startups in the world which is why every startup that gains any scale

00:25:44.120 goes to the United States.

00:25:46.760 So the thinking that, you know, 0.85

00:25:48.680 the universities with their gender study degrees

00:25:50.760 and their critical theory degrees

00:25:52.360 are going to be the engine of growth 0.94

00:25:54.400 simply sounds retarded. 0.99

00:25:57.980 You can just imagine a bunch of think tank people 0.99

00:26:01.800 sitting around saying,

00:26:03.780 innovation through startups.

00:26:06.580 And they're just going, yes, that sounds great.

00:26:08.760 Yes.

00:26:09.160 But what do you mean?

00:26:12.480 committing to decent infrastructure in all parts of the uk and getting national investors

00:26:20.000 to back the aspirations set by regions it comes from giving people the security of a good home

00:26:27.040 and good employment so that they can be as productive as possible from good mobility

00:26:32.860 and an ability to afford the basics and it comes from not leaving yeah it's not security and

00:26:42.380 employment that makes you more productive it's insecurity and employment if you know that you

00:26:48.280 cannot be fired forever you have no reason to put in an effort if you think that actually you could

00:26:56.980 easily be replaced that might change your behavior that's why i mean just elementary human nature and

00:27:05.560 economics would belie everything that he said yeah so he thinks that making it harder to fire people

00:27:12.160 and going down the french route which they've tried to reverse to their credit

00:27:15.900 would actually increase productivity when everything we know is literally the opposite

00:27:20.520 but with the exception of um the emphasis on manchester as well is there anything that he's

00:27:26.700 saying here that sounds like it

00:27:28.620 couldn't have just been from a Keir Starmer

00:27:30.700 speech. The entire

00:27:32.720 thing is just exactly the

00:27:34.660 same as everyone. Angela Rayner's speech

00:27:36.320 or Rachel Ray's speech.

00:27:38.400 I just think it's divorced from reality.

00:27:40.440 It's someone saying, what we need

00:27:42.240 is to make people more productive.

00:27:45.420 That's the problem

00:27:46.460 with this country, that people aren't

00:27:48.340 productive enough.

00:27:50.440 Stop supporting low-skill unproductive.

00:27:52.360 Not that, though. Don't address that.

00:27:54.360 There's far too many people for every single

00:27:56.560 job nothing not a word about any of those things giving everything to the

00:28:01.880 market but public intervention where necessary to set higher ambitions for

00:28:08.200 towns as we did in Stockport and kick-start the process of change it's

00:28:14.320 just it's just not nonsense again he mentioned there um did he say yet the

00:28:18.580 trickle-down, trickle-down problem? This is Manchester-ism.

00:28:39.580 Wasn't that good a speech, was it? It's not done, just one or two more minutes.

00:28:44.580 I think I even saw the mayor of Liverpool clapping at that.

00:28:51.660 It is a vision for good growth

00:28:54.780 and a rejection of the old trickle-down model.

00:29:00.420 There we go, there we go, there we go.

00:29:03.400 That's code, well, not even really code.

00:29:05.800 That's just socialism.

00:29:07.000 That's just...

00:29:07.680 Rich people are the problem.

00:29:09.840 Capitalism is the problem.

00:29:11.040 Unless they're just friends.

00:29:12.180 Right.

00:29:12.560 the owning class is the problem i mean what's his name ed milliband's friends and his friends

00:29:19.040 make a lot of money and there they can trickle down but you know that's a different conversation

00:29:26.800 the profit motive is the problem okay this is this is a throwback an old school pinko throwback

00:29:36.700 some sort of post like he still hates thatcher and stuff still blaming thatcher for the problems

00:29:42.540 of the north things like that uh happy to invoke peter lou the job for hat needlessly crowbar that

00:29:48.420 in it's just it's out of date he's so badly out of date and just again what he omits that we've

00:29:55.700 been invaded by millions of people that are antithetical to our interests there's not not

00:30:01.080 a single word about it final thing i'll say in this segment because i guess i've run slightly

00:30:04.980 over time is where uh people close to him have asked will he hold a general election and they

00:30:11.640 said no okay all right that's the segment all right well thank you i'll be holding on for power

00:30:19.160 won't you for every day that he can just squeezing the rag out um all right i'll just go through uh

00:30:25.520 some of the rumble rants here uh just go through the yellow ones yeah uh binary surfer for five

00:30:30.920 dollars says it's increasingly irrelevant who prime minister is time in office is dropping

00:30:35.820 like a rock 97 to 2007 average nine years uh 2007 to 2016 average 10 years 2017 current average two

00:30:45.100 years on this progression one uh plus one decade uh yeah less than one uh sorry one a year uh

00:30:53.020 says i'm sorry keep skipping up i couldn't load um scott uh scott see you guys say is his

00:31:01.260 planned university educated vape shop startups probably don't give him ideas and then something

00:31:11.320 as well that I don't know if I can say so I'm just going to play it on the cautious side if that's

00:31:16.780 all right but about Sunak and Starmer and Burnham being all the same which is a perfectly fair

00:31:22.220 point all right then so let's talk about his majesty the king ladies and gentlemen now the

00:31:29.080 Last time I actually spoke about the king, it might surprise you to hear I actually had some kind words to say.

00:31:35.340 Because though he obviously didn't write the speeches himself, I did think that when he went over to Washington for the 250th anniversary,

00:31:45.700 and he gave that speech in front of Congress, and there was many a joke that he told at the banquet with Trump.

00:31:52.680 And I just thought it was good diplomacy, right?

00:31:56.380 It was well written. It harkened back to that shared heritage, that continuity, that history, that brotherhood, you know, the years, right?

00:32:06.380 The years that we've spent by one another's side, both living on the world stage together.

00:32:12.120 And, you know, it kind of represented a type of diplomacy that Britain could have much more of. 0.99

00:32:19.400 Weren't it for the fact that everyone who says it is a scheming bastard, right? 0.98

00:32:25.120 and actually it's all just theatre and window dressing. 0.98

00:32:28.360 But nonetheless, it was good theatre and window dressing,

00:32:32.040 and I'll give him that.

00:32:33.540 However, it is a far cry from the much more based King Charles III

00:32:38.460 that we have in an alternate timeline.

00:32:40.920 Now, I covered on Chronicles this particular play by Mike Bartlett,

00:32:45.440 which was written in the beginning of the 2010s,

00:32:47.840 and it's a really fascinating play,

00:32:50.020 Not only because Bartlett basically tries to use like a prose and verse Shakespearean history style to it, which really fits into, you know, like the pantheon of British playwrights in our own traditions, but also as well, it asks very interesting questions about what does it mean to have a monarchy in a modern liberal democracy and a secular age?

00:33:14.280 What does it mean to have a head of the Church of England amongst a population that is becoming more and more atheistic?

00:33:21.900 What does it mean to be a monarch in a world which is always talking about democracy and representation and voting for your leaders as just a pure unallowed good?

00:33:34.360 And really the point that this play comes to is the fact that really the king is nothing more than an autopen for the establishment.

00:33:42.100 He gives the royal assent to anything that passes him by, and whether or not his conscience agrees with it or not, he just gets on with it.

00:33:50.920 Now, obviously, this theory of neutrality is something that was very much solidified in the more recent reign of Her Majesty Elizabeth II, of course,

00:34:00.540 and was held out to be just the perfect template for how a monarch should conduct themselves in a modern age.

00:34:08.280 The problem with this, of course, is that despite questions of nationalization or privatization and, you know, labor and Tory and the old red-blue trick and everything, it's like you can't imagine the king ever coming out and saying, well, I actually think that the abortion legislation has gone a bit too far.

00:34:29.040 I'm actually really concerned about the fact that some of my oldest and noblest subjects who have served the crown loyally for centuries and centuries, such as the Cockneys in London, have found themselves displaced and kicked out into Essex, right?

00:34:43.280 You're never going to get any of these opinions coming from the king.

00:34:46.300 And what you do have constantly, of course, with Charles, is the establishment figurehead, right? The guy who just signs the final order on basically everything that they want to put through.

00:35:00.600 and so we have here the

00:35:02.340 oh please

00:35:03.560 I've never heard the monarch

00:35:07.120 described as an autopen 1.00

00:35:08.580 but that is right, that is true

00:35:11.160 if you go back to, if you look at

00:35:13.080 maybe

00:35:13.620 the Prince Regent, George IV

00:35:16.740 or his brother William

00:35:19.040 they still were able

00:35:21.080 to some degree

00:35:22.400 sort of

00:35:23.460 manipulate a government

00:35:26.660 to some level, to some degree

00:35:29.040 I mean, it was really over after Charles I, but nonetheless, even up to the early 19th century, they could.

00:35:37.380 When you look at Queen Victoria, the power of the monarch was really broken under Queen Victoria.

00:35:42.860 She became basically an autopend.

00:35:45.360 There's a couple of times, Lord Melbourne as her prime minister, a couple of times where she tried to get involved in policy.

00:35:50.720 And they were like, no, you don't. No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:35:52.860 No, those days are over.

00:35:53.820 Now you want to trigger a constitutional crisis

00:35:55.700 And we'll go back to the people

00:35:56.780 And we'll change the government

00:35:59.600 And you'll be really, really out in the cold

00:36:01.820 Do you want to do that? No, right, good

00:36:03.180 Stay in your place and be an auto-pen 1.00

00:36:04.680 That's Queen Victoria's age

00:36:06.600 By the time of George V

00:36:08.640 Just before World War I

00:36:10.380 There was a kind of a constitutional crisis

00:36:13.760 Where the Liberal government

00:36:15.500 Wanted him to change around the Lords

00:36:17.760 Fairly fundamentally

00:36:19.060 And he tried to say, I don't think so

00:36:21.340 I don't like that, I don't want to do that

00:36:23.040 And in the end, they basically bullied him and browbeat him

00:36:25.500 to just do what they wanted.

00:36:27.220 At that point, it was over.

00:36:29.340 By the time you get Queen Elizabeth II,

00:36:32.540 it's no surprise that she's Elizabeth II,

00:36:34.460 that she became truly an autopilot.

00:36:36.240 Whatever the government put in front of her, she signs it.

00:36:38.420 They write a speech for her to open Parliament.

00:36:40.180 She reads it out verbatim.

00:36:41.840 Right.

00:36:42.500 So, but now we've got Charles III.

00:36:44.820 Well, there's no way back from that.

00:36:47.320 It's 200 years too late.

00:36:48.960 What you're describing is the infantilization of the monarchy, because it used to be said about children that they should be seen and not heard.

00:36:58.180 And now what you get with the monarchs, they are seen but not heard.

00:37:01.900 Nothing, they're not allowed to speak to begin with, unless it's dictated by someone else.

00:37:07.020 Yes.

00:37:07.380 But they're rolled out to on camera for various occasions just to sort of show the public that, look, there is this institution that you're meant to love.

00:37:15.900 But really, it has no concern for you whatsoever now.

00:37:18.960 so it's it's the complete capture of the monarchy but it's also the infantilization of the monarchy

00:37:24.340 i'd probably say as well if i'm just going to give my opinion it's probably for the best 0.99

00:37:29.000 because the problem with any hereditary rule is you may or may not get an idiot or a psycho or a 0.96

00:37:34.860 buffoon right so we've had a few i mean it's not the voting for people you might also run those 0.99

00:37:40.380 risks of course you do but it really is potluck whether you get a brilliant based noble tyrant 0.99

00:37:47.420 or you get a complete psycho imbecile um so okay you can make up your own mind out there whether 0.99

00:37:54.020 you would rather our king to actually control policy or not don't you think it's for the best 1.00

00:37:59.940 they don't i mean what imagine if king charles was some sort of not not exactly uh henry the

00:38:05.380 second uh richard the first absolute monarch but if he had quite a lot of power like henry the eighth

00:38:11.220 or charles the first would that be good well i don't think so i i i i would disagree with you

00:38:16.920 really had he not had the monarchy not been so emasculated yeah it would have actually governed

00:38:23.140 well because there is a natural uh conflict between the king and his barons and he has to

00:38:28.940 lean on the people against the barons that that would be my two cents but that's a different

00:38:32.780 conversation or longer conversation yeah yeah i mean i'll just say that there's that's a very

00:38:36.640 very specific dynamic and does that play out would that play out in the 19th 20th 21st century

00:38:44.700 I'm not sure.

00:38:45.920 I doubt it.

00:38:47.100 It'd be something different to what we used to.

00:38:49.480 It's a much longer conversation.

00:38:50.720 But OK, sorry.

00:38:51.500 No, no, not stop.

00:38:52.260 I didn't want to derail your segment.

00:38:53.060 No, it's quite all right.

00:38:54.260 And so we have now the Sovereign Grant annual report.

00:38:58.600 And basically what this is, is it's the official financial statement for the royal household of the recent year.

00:39:04.680 And we can tell here, this is what's caused the massive storm, which says the head of state.

00:39:11.060 The sovereign is head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other independent countries.

00:39:16.140 The sovereign's constitutional and representational duties as head of state, carried out on the advice of government ministers, constitute the primary role of the monarch.

00:39:26.780 The sovereign is politically impartial and exercises constitutional powers on the advice of government ministers.

00:39:33.600 The operation of the United Kingdom's parliamentary constitutional monarchy is dependent on the effective, timely, and reliable delivery of His Majesty's constitutional role.

00:39:44.660 As head of state, His Majesty's duties include the opening of Parliament, appointment of ministers and other key public officials,

00:39:52.880 granting royal assent to legislation, convening the Privy Council, and receiving the credentials of foreign ambassadors and high commissioners.

00:40:00.740 All perfectly fair so far.

00:40:03.600 His Majesty is Supreme Governor of the Church of England

00:40:06.180 and protects the space for faith within the multi-faith nation.

00:40:12.480 Hang on a second.

00:40:13.740 When did we decide this?

00:40:15.820 When did we agree that that's what we were?

00:40:18.800 You know, it reminds me back when Rishi Sunak was Prime Minister, 1.00

00:40:23.940 you know, holding up his stupid little coins and everything. 0.99

00:40:26.820 And he just gave a speech in Parliament one day 1.00

00:40:29.320 talking about the proud multicultural country that we were building.

00:40:33.160 it's like no no no hang on Rishi I know you benefit from that but that's not what we agreed

00:40:38.480 right we've never had that national conversation what we have had is us telling you get a hold of

00:40:44.140 immigration get a hold of immigration since the 50s and 60s you ignoring us and all slowly getting

00:40:51.260 to a point now where it's like well they're all here now we guess we just have to get along it's

00:40:56.020 like hang on hang on a second rewind this was never actually agreed upon can I say a couple

00:41:01.940 Ever since Henry VIII and the Act of Supremacy, perhaps with the slight blips of Bloody Mary

00:41:09.020 and what, James I, sorry, James II, apart from those blips, we've been Protestant, Anglican,

00:41:17.980 Church of England country, and it's in the coronation oath. I hate to be a stickler,

00:41:23.960 I hate to be a bit of a stickler, but he did make a coronation oath in Westminster Abbey

00:41:29.700 in front of God and the nation that he would be the head of the Anglican church and that alone

00:41:36.160 there's nothing about multi-faith in that no there's nothing about a defender of faiths

00:41:41.980 no he's head of the church of England only so what is this is this not breaking his coronation oath

00:41:49.640 well this is the interesting point and uh you alerted me to this really good

00:41:53.280 Substack Firas by Andrew Lomas here, where he basically just goes through the fact that

00:41:59.380 this statement has been made. And obviously, he points out as well that this is not an official

00:42:05.080 act. It's not undone, you know, the act of supremacy or anything like that. But it's a

00:42:11.440 statement of intent, isn't it, from the monarch? It's a statement to what sort of a king he wishes

00:42:16.760 to be and the very irony of the point of course is that um you know it says oh i'm politically

00:42:23.820 impartial but the preservation of multiculturalism is an is a fundamentally political position

00:42:31.320 absolutely and and what is being conflated here is that politically impartial doesn't mean morally

00:42:38.280 impartial no and the morality of britain rests on christianity even if i would argue it's the

00:42:45.140 wrong Christianity, different conversation, different time, but it still rests only on

00:42:50.940 Christianity and cannot be understood without the Bible and without the proper interpretation of

00:42:56.780 the Bible. So this leap from political impartiality has come to mean moral impartiality, and you see

00:43:05.840 it reflected in the nature of the statement, which is a protector of faiths in a multi-faith

00:43:10.980 nation hold on we're gonna be defending aztec human sacrifice or hindu sati or what are we like

00:43:18.700 stoning well we'll stoning we'll defend whatever the state decides to turn a blind eye to feel

00:43:24.260 political expediency won't we we'll just whatever the state is complicit in and this is a problem

00:43:29.520 with it you know and it's a lot like um it's a lot like in the way that um from my point of view you

00:43:35.860 know like reform uk constantly pander after uh the diverse vote it's like but why are you going

00:43:41.940 after what isn't your natural constituency in the case of the king those people who actually you

00:43:47.660 know have centuries of history here who have you know uh parents who you know grandparents who's

00:43:53.100 just served in the falklands or in world war ii whatever it is just going back into the age of

00:43:58.340 empire and beyond why aren't they the people who are your primary moral concern your majesty why

00:44:04.320 is it people who've just got off a boat yesterday and all of this just comes to basically create

00:44:11.020 um a rift a rift of loyalty between the voter base who are the natural constituents of the king

00:44:18.660 and those who are never going to give any true loyalty to it and just see it as an outdated

00:44:25.560 um relic of the bygone age um and so to carry on with the substack where it says um this is a shift

00:44:32.440 from last year where the king's role was stated as being head of the church in england and defender

00:44:36.340 of the faith defender of the faith has become protects the space for faith while head of the

00:44:41.820 church of england has become supreme governor which is technically accurate but subtly less

00:44:47.560 emphatic and meanwhile the church of england previously the object of the king's particular

00:44:52.540 constitutional duty has been quietly repositioned as one faith among several within the multi-faith

00:44:59.460 nation whose space his majesty now just generically protects and this is all very well worded and he

00:45:07.440 goes on to make the point as well of course when we go to actual history that the statutory basis

00:45:12.180 of the monarchy is not a matter of administrative discretion but rather flows from the conflict

00:45:17.140 fought obviously during the 17th century precisely over the willingness of the monarch to defend a

00:45:22.460 protestant church of england and just ask uh you know james ii how how all that went for him

00:45:30.120 sorry yeah preempt that no i just saw your notes as well you mentioned george v and uh and victoria

00:45:36.940 i didn't mean to gazump no no i hadn't read your notes until no no it's quite right but the what

00:45:43.040 the one thing that i was going to say about those and the reason there's that i made notes about

00:45:47.360 them was that something we were saying in the office before this meant that all of a sudden

00:45:51.400 We actually, in this moment of the Glorious Revolution, sacrificed, like, being the next of kin, being the next in line for the throne.

00:46:00.960 Obviously, William of Orange, I believe, ended up marrying James II's daughter, Mary, to give it a veneer of legitimacy and that this wasn't just a Dutch takeover.

00:46:10.720 But the other thing as well, of course, is that this, after the death of Queen Anne, the last of the Stuart monarchs,

00:46:17.060 Obviously, the line of succession in order to not have a Catholic monarch and reconnect us with Popery and the Vatican basically leapfrogged about 50 candidates until we eventually got to George of Hanover, a man who didn't speak any English whatsoever.

00:46:33.880 And obviously by the time you get to George III, though, it does get quite interesting because what we were saying about the monarch exercising a power and what you were saying, Beau, about the constitutional oath, that royal oath that he swore at his coronation, it's like, well, when it came to the Act of Union, you know, passed in 1800, which designed by Pitt the Younger, to of course bring Ireland, emancipate Ireland and bring it into the actual Union,

00:47:03.880 Union as a whole, this actually led to the toppling of Pitt the Younger as Prime Minister

00:47:10.200 because George III refused to go along with it because he saw giving emancipation to Ireland,

00:47:17.780 bringing them into the Union would have basically meant that there was now a Catholic bloc that

00:47:23.360 needed representation within the House of Commons, within the House of Lords, and it would have

00:47:28.220 basically been a way to leverage catholic infiltration of britain's institutions uh again

00:47:35.540 and that was fundamentally against george the third's coronation oath and so you can see george

00:47:41.280 the third at the beginning of the 19th century basically saying this is against my oath i can't

00:47:47.900 do this and this is really what it comes to it's like fine if the if parliament are going to put

00:47:53.180 through all of this legislation that's on them and you're going to sign it because that's what

00:47:57.960 you do but there is no one forcing you to betray your oath yes and you are choosing to betray your

00:48:04.920 oath because of your own personal impartial political feelings on these subjects can't

00:48:10.960 even stomach catholics let alone uh muslims or something but but legally that's what upsets me

00:48:16.960 that's what i'm talking about legally you know the king is anointed by the archbishop of canterbury

00:48:22.760 Not the Pope, not some mufti from somewhere

00:48:26.800 Not some caliph, the Archbishop of Canterbury

00:48:29.260 There you go

00:48:33.220 It's too much to ask

00:48:34.280 It's just simply too much to ask

00:48:36.280 And so I've lost the exact bit here

00:48:39.720 But it goes on to say that

00:48:41.080 Now the Sovereign Grant Report is not a legal document

00:48:44.940 Ah, here we are

00:48:46.060 It is an administrative characterisation of working practices

00:48:49.580 Produced for the purposes of financial reporting

00:48:52.160 with no statutory force whatsoever, cannot amend the coronation oath or repeal the Act of Settlement.

00:48:58.320 The king's legal obligations remain precisely what they were on the morning of 6th of May 2023

00:49:03.080 when he was coronated and will continue to be in the same form regardless of what the palace's

00:49:09.280 communications department chooses to put in its annual review. There is, however, a serious

00:49:15.740 constitutional question lurking beneath this jeu d'esprit, which is Parliament has never repealed

00:49:22.140 the act of settlement's religious requirements uh though it's reformed them in the margins

00:49:27.300 removing the bar on marrying a catholic in 2013 uh so good news for you feras the church of

00:49:34.240 england has not been disestablished the coronation oath has not been amended and the statutory basis

00:49:39.640 of the monarchy is pretty much unchanged from what it was in 1701 yet the palace is behaving

00:49:45.800 as if the monarchy is already being quietly secularized by cultural evolution without the

00:49:52.220 inconvenience of repealing the statutes that say otherwise and this is as Andrew goes on to say in

00:49:58.580 a sense the inverse of the problem many challenges for the crown faced historically the usurpers of

00:50:05.140 medieval England needed to construct legal justifications for change that had already

00:50:10.240 happened by force whereas the palace appears to be constructing a cultural justification

00:50:15.420 for a change that hasn't yet happened by law and well i thought it was interesting when we had

00:50:23.420 rishi as a hindu to be promised because by law we can't have a catholic prime minister again by law

00:50:30.760 set like in the 18th century about to is officially catholic well so that's what i'm saying

00:50:36.780 like tony blair decided to wait till he was finished being prime minister before he formally

00:50:42.180 converted to catholicism and i thought there was a law in place where again going back centuries

00:50:48.260 that you can't have a catholic prime minister but but you can't have a hindu one oh oh right

00:50:54.980 uh okay yeah or if if if burnham's catholic i guess they're just going to ignore that as well

00:51:00.340 i mean not that i'm particularly in favor i don't care i mean i actually don't care

00:51:03.940 sadiq khan and put him into parliament and make him prime minister i genuinely don't care

00:51:08.820 particularly if burnham is a catholic or not the point is is there a law there or not

00:51:13.300 is that the stature is that the the rules or not

00:51:16.240 well time will tell um and but it's that thing that it's like okay your majesty if you're going

00:51:23.740 to suggest that i am now the king of this multi-faith society it's like then you are

00:51:29.640 basically saying i am telling you that these foreign faiths that were brought here against

00:51:35.000 your will right and bearing in mind that the king as you were saying earlier feras has basically 0.79

00:51:39.720 given up all power in the name of democracy it's like well mass immigration is the least democratic

00:51:47.020 thing that's ever been forced on us um and yet the king is fully in favor of that so this isn't

00:51:53.580 a question of democracy and it currently now means that he has to defend all sorts of barbaric

00:51:59.040 religious practices that now exist in britain that hitherto didn't you know before mass immigration

00:52:05.500 obviously we have the example of horrible fgm um female genital mutilation and it says here that

00:52:14.680 in the year ending march 2025 uh there were um 2,949 um of these honor-based assaults relating

00:52:25.200 offences recording uh sorry recorded by the police in england and wales a seven percent increase

00:52:31.000 compared to the year before and you know the rule number will be vastly higher of course it will

00:52:35.940 child marriages forced marriages forced child marriages it goes on and on and on because

00:52:41.020 he's been in households where people aren't going to be able to report on such things all sorts of

00:52:45.900 honor killings when your father and your uncles murder the girl yeah daring to be too western or

00:52:50.980 something. It just goes on and on. Prince Charles is happy with all of this basically or defend it 0.51

00:52:56.660 anyway. I did see an interesting clip of him going back to the very very early 90s. So long before

00:53:02.840 9-11 and all this woke nonsense that's happened in the 21st century talking about how Islam is great

00:53:09.420 and misunderstood and in fact it's a detriment to Christianity that we sort of other it and all

00:53:16.880 those sorts of things and it was in like 1993 or something he was saying this i have a book about

00:53:20.960 richard the third a children's book about richard the third describing how he heroically went to

00:53:25.520 fight the evil saracens oh richard the first be richard the first yes i'm sorry i should check

00:53:31.780 third uh richard lionheart uh so yeah okay thank you yeah he'd be proud of you um that's the kind

00:53:39.420 of stuff i read to my children good solid good history yeah it's the good stuff proper home

00:53:45.260 schooling uh the rise in these offenses was driven by a 35 increase in the metropolitan police

00:53:51.760 service um from nine their figures from 398 to 539 offenses and of course as well britain is uh

00:54:02.320 sorry the honor killings uh britain has now become the western capital for sharia courts as well uh

00:54:08.680 where it goes on to point out that um discovering that sorry i've got my notes a little bit muddled

00:54:14.640 here uh but obviously western courts are now about 85 of these uh throughout britain and they

00:54:21.340 always deflect it by saying oh yeah but they don't have legitimate legal power within the

00:54:27.940 constitution of britain it's like they don't have to people just muslims just turn up to these courts 0.95

00:54:34.080 get the ruling that they want to get and just carry on with their lives as if these are the 0.92

00:54:39.200 real things just countless people being married off you know just allowed to be married off it

00:54:45.580 says about a hundred thousand islamic marriages are believed to have been conducted in britain

00:54:50.860 many of which are not officially registered with the civil authorities they don't register them

00:54:56.340 because that might affect their benefits yeah well so that that's the other thing here they

00:55:01.820 just don't recognize our system no our common law or anything they just don't recognize it

00:55:08.300 An example here, as reported by the European Conservative, United Kingdom increases state benefits for multiple wives, despite the ban on polygamy.

00:55:18.220 That was insane. That's insane.

00:55:20.320 Unbelievable. And yet it's allowed.

00:55:23.320 and i just wonder i suppose if in because of the king's stalwart conviction that a multi-faith

00:55:31.780 society is a good thing i just wonder whenever he has a meeting with his ministers if he ever says

00:55:37.800 you know privately to their ear do you feel like maybe just drawing this thing back a bit don't

00:55:43.460 you think this is taking the mick a bit don't you think that this is a bit of an insult to the

00:55:48.920 native population right do we actually imagine that any of these conversations are going on

00:55:53.340 or do you imagine that rather the king doesn't lose a second's worth of sleep over it

00:55:57.660 probably the exact opposite it's probably like push harder on islamophobia laws right hate speech

00:56:04.240 laws or something yeah i would have thought yeah try and legalize cousin marriage if anything

00:56:09.240 probably i don't know god knows but right i doubt he's pushing back against it all i doubt it i

00:56:14.300 Severely doubt it.

00:56:15.600 There's a great article from 2011 here.

00:56:18.040 The British Muslim men who love both their wives,

00:56:20.700 and I tell you what, it's a glowing write-up from the BBC,

00:56:24.100 would you believe.

00:56:25.300 They go and say, quote here, the chap they were interviewing says,

00:56:29.180 I love both of them.

00:56:31.400 Obviously, you can love more than the other.

00:56:34.540 I spend one day and one night with one,

00:56:36.720 and one day and one night with the other,

00:56:38.540 says Imran, not his real name.

00:56:40.460 one of the growing number of second-generation British Muslim men who have two wives.

00:56:46.460 Imran was born and brought up in Birmingham, where he runs his own successful business,

00:56:51.080 manufacturing Indian desserts. What a wonderful contributor.

00:56:55.340 His first marriage was arranged at the age of 18.

00:56:58.320 However, seven years into the marriage, Imran says he fell in love with someone else.

00:57:02.960 I love the spin on this. 0.85

00:57:04.780 Instead of having an affair, he did the honourable thing in the eyes of Islam, 0.93

00:57:09.640 and married her thus taking a second wife it's better uh than the man being married and then 0.76

00:57:16.260 having a mistresses on the side when you can do it legitimately and it's perfectly allowed he says

00:57:21.720 not in this country imran not in this country and thanks for bringing us that parminder cactar

00:57:30.440 yeah thanks for that for spinning it that way yeah really appreciate that uh we also have as 0.95

00:57:36.780 well obviously the fact that there are all manner of strange cults that have been brought up like

00:57:42.440 pentecostal cults from africa as well that are constantly putting like weird accusations of

00:57:48.540 witchcraft on children it's particularly prevalent in london it keeps on happening that sometimes 0.90

00:57:54.380 they end up killing these kids or sending them to africa to get them killed or kill albino kids

00:57:58.540 or whatever because of the insane beliefs in witchcraft like it's it it's not that uncommon 0.90

00:58:04.340 it's not that it's you'll just find a little kid's torso floating down the thames that's

00:58:09.940 obviously been the victim of being accused of some sort of witchcraft or sacrifice yeah that

00:58:15.580 never used to be the case if you didn't know no and not only that it's the fact that now

00:58:21.360 so there are just you know thousands and thousands of girls across britain who have had to suffer

00:58:27.140 fgn and it's not just that this is continued to be to be like fine they've made it illegal

00:58:34.260 but this isn't exactly being done by people who respect the british law isn't it almost never

00:58:39.480 prosecute for it no they almost never prosecute for it that's the thing so it's you know kind of

00:58:46.300 legal yeah and so now all of a sudden as well it's just as well and i i hate to drag it down

00:58:52.520 to the economic argument because there is actually the moral one that is much stronger but it is a

00:58:58.340 multifaceted thing which is okay and then you have to provide language translators for the NHS where 0.85

00:59:04.640 you know these African girls are having to explain what was being done to them it's all and you have

00:59:10.120 to explain the surgery now we have to have FGM surgery on the NHS and on and on it goes which is

00:59:15.320 not money that would have otherwise had to have been spent because these are only problems that

00:59:20.040 and madman would allow within the borders of britain uh obviously we all also have the question

00:59:26.180 of animal welfare as well a pet issue of course of repert lowe about banning halal slaughter and

00:59:31.880 kosher meat and kosher yes yeah yeah um the the giant explosion in the number of special needs

00:59:39.160 kids in this country a massive explosion of that i wonder why that is part of it is the incentives

00:59:45.740 that are provided so you're much better off if you can get your kid diagnosed with something

00:59:50.440 anything adhd autism etc that gets the kid a lot of special assistance the other part is cousin

00:59:57.720 marriage yeah i was just saying or they genuinely got special needs because they're the result of

01:00:02.620 first cousin marriage yes um and obviously a more recent pertinent example of course is uh okay well

01:00:09.780 this world this realm that you're protecting charles of the space for faith within the multi-faith

01:00:16.340 nation is allowing foreign religions to be armed whilst your own people have to walk around with 0.82

01:00:24.420 nothing to defend themselves you see that five pillars have called on all muslims to get military 0.80

01:00:29.380 training and to get martial arts training to get ready to fight oh really yeah yeah yeah any thoughts

01:00:35.300 your majesty um and so only that's just fifth columnist behavior surely truly exactly insurrection

01:00:42.420 oh a spot on parcel of living in a diverse society right um and then how dare you bo

01:00:50.980 and that's not to just uh touch upon the fact that all of a sudden it means that the british

01:00:56.260 public are treading on eggshells around religious taboos that we should i shouldn't have to become

01:01:02.020 an expert in Islamic doctrine or Sikh doctrine or Buddhist doctrine in order to be able to navigate

01:01:10.100 British society just safely and harmoniously with people shouldn't have to understand these things.

01:01:17.440 Gentlemen from the Batley Grammar School shouldn't, as far as I know, still be with another name and

01:01:23.860 another alias hiding, not back at school, because he showed a drawing of Mohammed, right? I'm sorry,

01:01:31.860 this is not acceptable and yet the farce continues there was another article as well that i got up

01:01:38.320 but it's not on there which was just to say that as well and this doesn't even begin to tackle the

01:01:44.000 fact that so okay so this is all allowed all of these things are now permissible in modern britain

01:01:51.640 and the king has decided to pin his colors to defending the multi-faith society but when it

01:01:59.260 comes to actual christians right they're not defended within the space for faith within the

01:02:06.100 multi-faith nation they're the ones that are arrested outside of abortion centers uh for

01:02:12.640 praying for the life of the unborn these are the ones that are arrested for just holding placards

01:02:18.620 uh as was the case for thank you samson uh case here if i can scroll down to it for for rose

01:02:25.200 doherty who was arrested last year for influencing near a buffer zone and for violating scotland's

01:02:32.680 2024 law that punishes those who influence anyone seeking abortion services within a 200 meter

01:02:38.840 vicinity of a hospital there was another chap um further down here as well um where it goes on to

01:02:45.840 say that he was a um a veteran a veteran and an anglican this isn't the gentleman this obviously

01:02:53.220 northern irish chap but the list just goes on of all of these people who are being persecuted

01:02:58.480 because of their christian faith and it's like any thoughts your majesty on any of this like this is

01:03:07.180 this is your realm this is a realm that you swore an oath to defend that you took the coronation

01:03:13.580 oath to defend its faith which means to defend the moral foundations on which it stands and yet

01:03:21.340 all of this continues unabated and the worst and the part the strangest part of it is that you

01:03:28.480 would expect given that we constantly just shift between unpopular to more unpopular government

01:03:34.780 that actually the monarch monarch differentiating his voice from the establishment would be the

01:03:43.180 most popular thing that a king in the modern age could do these days and so not to suggest

01:03:49.780 this entire play as a roadmap but i do suggest that actually

01:03:56.140 the more that the crown as a whole as a family and as a figure go along with the innumerable

01:04:07.860 injustices and criminal acts that are enforced and made permissible throughout british society

01:04:13.580 the longer that these are allowed to continue then when it comes to a time when the establishment

01:04:20.420 are finally shifted out politically where is that going to leave the monarchy in all of this

01:04:27.820 and so food for thought he is a moral coward he's that type of boomer and i always stick up

01:04:35.280 whenever i mention boomers for the based boomer out there there is such a thing as the based

01:04:38.980 boomer and when you find them they're usually ultra based i know we've got a few here so i'm

01:04:43.200 not having a pop at the base boomer,

01:04:45.880 but the type of lefty-leaning,

01:04:48.840 pinko-champagne-socialist, 0.70

01:04:50.760 moral weakling boomer 0.97

01:04:52.460 who wouldn't dare 0.96

01:05:04.000 That's who King Charles is.

01:05:05.440 He's one of those.

01:05:06.640 He'll happily sit there 1.00

01:05:07.760 and virtue signal on behalf of Islam, 1.00

01:05:09.780 regardless of the crimes

01:05:12.160 being perpetrated against his own people land acknowledgement that's native canadian tribe

01:07:21.680 fringe american religious christian religious sex as well so uh i love there's a bit in the simpsons

01:07:28.380 where someone says to someone about mo about a different sect of christianity and just says 0.66

01:07:32.540 sorry i was born a snake handler i'm a die snake handler all right so let's talk about the great

01:07:40.440 institution of britain and just a few headlines most of them from the last couple of days most

01:07:49.160 them from the last couple of days showing how the government is doing its best to show that

01:07:54.600 they absolutely hate you and they want you to suffer and i want to start with california

01:08:01.160 because what's happening under labor in britain is a kind of speed run of california and here's

01:08:07.640 a before and after from california before the zombie apocalypse hit really

01:08:19.160 that we see there yeah it'll

01:08:23.080 probably mute it for us just in case of copyright yeah and you see the rampant thefts that just

01:08:34.060 sort of collapse the destruction of houses druggies sitting down on the streets and doing the um the

01:08:42.500 fentanyl lean it's genuinely terrible contrasted with what a civilized society california used to

01:08:48.980 before this madness took hold what's even worse as well is that you see the absolute state of all

01:08:55.340 of this in san francisco and then you remember that the government can quite literally because 0.99

01:09:00.000 they've shown us end it overnight whenever some chinese right yeah exactly yeah and just to 0.92

01:09:07.380 remind you that this is deliberate i don't want anybody to be under the impression that this is 0.97

01:09:12.100 sort of oh they're decent people but they're misguided kirk starmer is actually a good guy

01:09:17.760 He just made a couple of mistakes.

01:09:19.460 They didn't mean to do this.

01:09:20.980 No, no.

01:09:21.360 Here's Gavin Newsom explaining that when he wants to clean up California, he can.

01:09:26.080 And he did it because Xi Jinping was visiting.

01:09:28.540 Yeah.

01:09:28.880 That was all it took.

01:09:30.160 There was somebody he liked coming to visit, and he decided to clean up California.

01:09:34.960 As if Xi Jinping doesn't have a phone and can't just go,

01:09:38.160 God, have you seen the state of this from a week ago?

01:09:40.580 Exactly.

01:09:41.460 Exactly.

01:09:41.900 And on this theme, the government, particularly Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, has decided

01:09:50.040 that it wants to open new safe and legal routes for refugees. And they want to allow local

01:09:56.900 communities in Britain to sponsor more refugees coming into the country. This is the policy.

01:10:06.160 And they're going to provide community sponsorship, that is, a random mosque can do it, an NGO can do it, refugee study and work routes, meaning that your local kebab shop or vape shop can sponsor refugees and bring them into Britain going forward.

01:10:24.580 Numbers will start small and controlled, but we know that they're going to grow.

01:10:29.080 Refugees, the definition of refugee means anyone.

01:10:32.300 Anybody can claim to be a refugee.

01:10:33.660 You can claim refugee status based on anything.

01:10:36.740 And the people who's going to be sponsoring them 0.95

01:10:38.680 aren't going to be the most, you know, scrupulous of people.

01:10:41.560 No, no, no, no, no.

01:10:43.120 It's going to be mosques, vape shops, NGOs. 0.99

01:10:47.960 That's funny. 0.96

01:10:48.520 Sham universities, et cetera, et cetera.

01:10:50.800 I thought Labour had put the woke away. 0.82

01:10:53.540 Yeah.

01:10:53.840 I thought they were more base than the Tories.

01:10:55.860 I thought they took the numbers down.

01:10:57.400 That's odd. 1.00

01:10:58.560 Well, they promised that it's going to be just genuine refugees.

01:11:03.660 And what they're also going to do is to train ordinary members of the public to decide asylum appeals.

01:11:14.040 So when your appeal to become an asylum seeker is rejected, you just go to somebody in the mosque and say, hey, you know, do you want to sit and judge this? 0.84

01:11:25.220 Because these are going to be the kind of people, because of the DEI requirement that is going to definitely come with a scheme like that, 0.94

01:11:32.000 you're going to get random members of uh the new british deciding on asylum appeals meaning that 0.97

01:11:40.760 no appeals are going to be rejected or if they do get rejected it'll be because the sudani judge

01:11:47.400 doesn't like pakistanis or something like that it'll be because of their own ethnic conflicts

01:11:53.080 it won't be in any way based on the british interest you anon have a have a duty to get

01:11:59.220 involved in this right be the change you want to see and so they're going to recruit people from

01:12:05.540 different backgrounds just in case you were wondering from various different backgrounds

01:12:10.400 to appeal their rejected claims and on top of that they are now making vagrancy no longer a criminal

01:12:19.500 offense so previously if some homeless guy camped out in front of your store or in front of your

01:12:25.580 house, you could get the police to remove them. Now, congratulations, every town center is going

01:12:31.780 to get a tent city. Every single part of Britain is going to get its own little shanty town and 0.93

01:12:38.900 tent city because Angela Rayner is proud to end the criminalization of vagrancy. Proud.

01:12:47.880 It's not that homeless people are made criminals, as some people believe. It's that the people who

01:12:53.480 end up homeless for a long period of time are generally criminals and addicts. People who

01:13:01.480 are willing to work almost never end up homeless, unless in very exceptional circumstances and for

01:13:09.240 a brief period. And that's why vagrancy was criminalized, because you are rewarding the

01:13:13.920 wrong kind of behavior. And they're going to throw money at homelessness in the same way

01:13:19.480 that was done in California,

01:13:21.780 but the incentives are that

01:13:23.440 in order to get money

01:13:25.040 to stop being homeless,

01:13:26.940 you have to be released

01:13:28.040 from prison or hospital.

01:13:30.080 Meaning that you have an incentive

01:13:31.620 to end up in prison or hospital

01:13:33.340 so that you could get a free house.

01:13:36.800 And then they will find

01:13:38.440 that 159 million pounds

01:13:39.900 isn't going to be enough.

01:13:41.220 And in a few years time,

01:13:42.260 it'll be a couple of billion pounds.

01:13:44.880 This is deliberate policy.

01:13:46.640 On an ever shrinking tax base.

01:13:48.200 on an ever-shrinking tax base and then you see the toleration of disorder in Margate that you

01:13:55.320 this is where i was just the other day well let's see what you what you might have seen

01:14:12.440 so they try to tell them that you can't all go into the train station at once because it's

01:14:16.760 overcrowded and what do they do they beat up the police or the security guys just because

01:14:23.480 just because and this is just this weekend you can find a dozen examples over the last years

01:14:28.200 just this weekend but this is increasingly tolerated and one of them decided to film

01:14:33.640 himself and show off what a wonderful day he had what is going on where are we born

01:15:02.120 You know, back in the 19...

01:15:04.600 Three or four brawls, attacks on the police.

01:15:08.880 Yeah.

01:15:09.260 Nice day.

01:15:10.000 You know, I'm just going to say, sorry, Margate back in the 1920s was where T.S. Eliot left and went to for a few weeks to retreat after he had a nervous breakdown working for Lloyd's.

01:15:21.480 and uh he basically just used that time to rest and recuperate and write a bit more of

01:15:26.800 the wasteland which was one of obviously the most profound poems of the 20th century i can

01:15:32.800 see that the culture of margate has changed somewhat since then well i'm from essex and

01:15:38.080 if you go to the seaside you'd go to south end or margate margate when i was a kid in the 90s

01:15:43.460 late 80s early mid 90s was uh lovely absolutely lovely place well now it's been

01:15:51.200 and shitified.

01:15:54.160 And then you see another scene here 0.95

01:15:56.880 on the two-tier policing.

01:15:58.780 Here's what happened.

01:16:02.560 Kelly J. Keene,

01:16:04.200 who is an advocate for Christianity,

01:16:07.880 women, etc.,

01:16:09.480 speaks at Speaker's Corner 0.99

01:16:12.200 and this is what you get, right? 1.00

01:16:15.400 Some random threatens to behead her 0.98

01:16:19.020 and makes the sort of beheading sign to her. 0.97

01:16:21.200 Then, he goes to complain to the police.

01:16:24.280 Hello.

01:16:25.280 Yeah. 0.95

01:16:26.280 So that chap down there just came up to me to tell me he's going to cut my throat. 0.95

01:16:43.320 He's coming. 0.94

01:16:44.320 here with his uh thing on it yeah he's got a white t-shirt gray white t-shirt

01:16:56.480 he's right there

01:16:59.520 This lady here is calling my prophet Muhammad 0.96

01:17:12.020 Oh, isn't that the perfect conclusion to the video?

01:17:24.620 yeah so let's understand what happened they were having a conversation in a space set by the

01:17:33.080 british people to have conversations he heard something he didn't like he threatened to behead

01:17:40.060 a woman then he complained to the police saying that saying things that make him unhappy about 0.59

01:17:47.380 the false prophet of islam is illegal so he understands perfectly that there is a two-tier 0.82

01:17:52.700 police system in his place he understands perfectly that speaker's corner has been conquered 1.00

01:17:58.140 by muhammadans and he goes to complain to the police about it it's all right that small child 1.00

01:18:05.180 there who's seems to be dressed up as a police woman will sort it all out don't worry about it

01:18:11.500 she's got it covered as as welshman on x points out in 30 days there's been an attempted beheading

01:18:18.780 Countless teenagers stabbed and raped.

01:18:21.040 A Somalian car flattened five people just yesterday. 0.99

01:18:24.680 A baby raped to death. 1.00

01:18:26.340 All as a result of immigration. 1.00

01:18:28.880 And this is just the start of summer. 0.90

01:18:30.680 Summer officially began on the 21st of June, a day and a week ago.

01:18:36.640 That's a normal summer now.

01:18:40.320 Two women sexually assaulted on Bournemouth Beach amidst heatwave, 27 of June.

01:18:47.980 So, there is this toleration of rampant crime. Vishnu Ramadevi, care worker,

01:18:55.580 jailed for 11 and a half years after raping one woman and sexually assaulting another.

01:19:04.300 A trans activist declares that he has been shortlisted for an award by the BBC, 0.51

01:19:10.700 despite having a disturbing digital footprint that includes joking about sexually abusing

01:19:16.540 eight-year-olds. And his critics are supposed to be transphobic, and the BBC is on board with this.

01:19:24.300 So this tolerance of degeneracy is deliberate. None of this is accidental. They're promoting this.

01:19:32.460 NHS says, you know, you shouldn't keep biological men off of women's wards, and gives a long story

01:19:39.700 about how the NHS is running rings around itself

01:19:44.360 to make sure that men can go into women's wards.

01:19:47.560 This was in the papers this morning.

01:19:49.080 Just a couple of days ago, yes.

01:19:50.500 Durham, up north, they spent $1.25 million

01:19:53.420 trying to defend that man,

01:19:55.340 this man who wanted to be in the female nurse's changing rooms.

01:19:58.940 The law requires you to believe that this creature is a woman. 0.93

01:20:02.460 You're not, mate.

01:20:03.340 Sorry.

01:20:05.140 And the NHS, they could have spent that on saving people.

01:20:07.680 No, no, no.

01:20:08.120 $1.25 million.

01:20:09.160 priorities

01:20:09.960 yeah yeah yeah

01:20:12.320 priorities

01:20:12.920 this is the priority

01:20:13.880 of the state

01:20:14.540 this guy

01:20:18.440 gets three years

01:20:20.160 for the worst

01:20:20.980 child sexual abuse

01:20:22.540 material investigators

01:20:23.580 had ever seen

01:20:24.220 three years

01:20:26.120 you get that

01:20:27.640 for a tweet

01:20:28.220 you get that

01:20:30.280 for a tweet

01:20:30.840 and Kent police

01:20:32.040 is showing off

01:20:32.660 that they arrested him

01:20:33.520 and had him sentenced

01:20:34.260 what did he get

01:20:34.880 three years

01:20:35.800 Sam Melian nearly got as much of that, didn't he?

01:20:40.160 Yeah, pretty much.

01:20:41.060 Or having quite literally done nothing wrong. 0.88

01:20:43.280 Stickers saying it's okay to be white.

01:20:45.300 Stickers saying it's okay to be white.

01:20:47.000 He was sentenced to three years.

01:20:48.540 He served two, I believe, or one and a half.

01:20:50.700 Something like that.

01:20:51.580 Missed his kids' birthdays.

01:20:54.800 This is deliberate policy.

01:20:56.360 This isn't accidental.

01:20:57.380 The toleration and promotion of this degeneracy

01:20:59.920 is part of the plan to make your lives worse.

01:21:03.940 Sadiq Khan denies that there are grooming gangs in London now just yesterday we find out that

01:21:12.400 actually the police are investigating 4,000 grooming gang cases in London

01:21:15.840 these are the cases that the police know about and there's first thousand of them imagine how

01:21:22.820 many do they not know about and imagine how many have where they've dropped the investigation

01:21:27.880 how sadiq khan is still in the position that he is i don't understand so what you're supposed to

01:21:37.340 believe here is that sadiq khan genuinely didn't know that his own police was investigating 4 000

01:21:43.680 cases this is what you're supposed to believe as opposed to what is obvious yeah which is that

01:21:49.360 sadiq khan wants to tolerate this because he wants your life to be worse and this is the great

01:21:55.020 and certification of everything meaning that when your children get on their bikes and go to school

01:22:00.540 they could be kidnapped and raped this is deliberate policy this is government policy

01:22:04.460 and tolerate this he is the police and crime commissioner as well as mayor of london oh yes 0.95

01:22:08.940 there's not like oh i just haven't spoken to my police chief in a very long time no no no no no

01:22:13.660 he's in charge of this yeah he's in charge of this he's responsible for this grand example going back

01:22:18.060 to your segment though about burnham as well and oh just devolution will solve all of this yes like

01:22:23.500 As if...

01:22:24.280 As if Sadiq Khan was going to address this.

01:22:27.840 Labour decides to release hundreds and thousands and thousands of criminals.

01:22:33.620 Because why not?

01:22:35.780 Why wouldn't you release thousands of violent criminals, including members of grooming gangs,

01:22:41.180 and give them early release? 0.97

01:22:43.140 Instead of, I don't know, hanging them. 0.97

01:22:46.060 Or just building more prisons. 0.97

01:22:48.280 Can't do that.

01:22:49.420 Can't do that.

01:22:49.960 Just deport them.

01:22:51.120 Or deporting them. 0.99

01:22:52.260 there's 20,000 of them

01:22:53.420 waiting to be deported.

01:22:54.800 That'll open up

01:22:55.460 a few spaces in jail. 1.00

01:22:59.760 Shabana Mahmoud 1.00

01:23:00.740 announcing

01:23:01.280 10,000 asylum seekers

01:23:02.820 are moving to residential properties

01:23:04.820 within days.

01:23:07.640 So they want the diversity

01:23:09.240 to be your neighbor

01:23:10.360 so that your children

01:23:11.640 will be hurt.

01:23:14.040 They know these people

01:23:15.600 are dangerous.

01:23:16.600 They can read statistics

01:23:17.760 as well as you can.

01:23:19.500 As Owen Jones

01:23:20.460 showed us a couple of weeks ago

01:23:21.600 when he suddenly understood per capita,

01:23:23.780 when it came to medical examinations

01:23:25.640 for black men for prostate cancer, I believe.

01:23:28.240 Suddenly he discovered per capita. 0.99

01:23:31.740 But now they forget per capita conveniently.

01:23:35.660 And they decide to distribute the diversity

01:23:37.860 because this is part of the great institution

01:23:40.120 and certification program.

01:23:41.320 They want you hurt.

01:23:42.920 They don't like you.

01:23:44.720 This is deliberate.

01:23:46.240 It's not that they're illiterate.

01:23:47.740 It's not that they are misguided.

01:23:49.900 It's not that they are well-meaning.

01:23:51.600 but keep making the wrong call no this is the policy this is deliberate they're not accidentally

01:23:59.280 doing this day after day after day so i don't buy the thing about even someone like braverman

01:24:03.920 when they say oh no she tried to do her best it was rishi that wouldn't allow no no no no no it's

01:24:08.640 not by accident it's not a comedy of errors it's very very deliberate of course it is so here

01:24:16.320 There's an area, there's this, whatever, wherever this video is from, West Yorkshire.

01:24:21.960 A woman is drinking where she shouldn't be, but she's talking about the grooming gangs.

01:24:26.180 So she gets arrested.

01:24:29.320 A potential member of a grooming gang is drinking in the same area.

01:24:33.160 He just gets asked to go home. 0.94

01:24:35.380 So the white woman gets arrested, but the foreign man does not. 1.00

01:24:40.620 Why? 0.88

01:24:41.280 Because she's talking about the grooming gangs. 1.00

01:24:43.480 That's enough to arrest her.

01:24:46.320 This is accidental. This is just misguided. The police are misunderstanding their own guidelines, or they are applying the training that they had, as we saw with the Novak case.

01:24:57.580 Well, we wouldn't want Baroness Lawrence to get her knickers in a twist, would we? We wouldn't want another report about how institutionally racist the police are. That wouldn't do, would it?

01:25:06.540 katie lamb mp she points out that a shop owner and her constituency called the police saying

01:25:14.340 that there were shoplifters regularly stealing okay the police what do they do they ignore her

01:25:21.540 of course so she puts up pictures of the thieves then the police show up saying that the rights

01:25:28.240 of the criminals have been violated, according to GDPR.

01:25:34.920 And on top of that as well, I mean, just speaking of shoplifting,

01:25:37.820 how everything's just in a sodding plastic case now.

01:25:41.760 Because of how rampant...

01:25:43.580 Blocks of cheese in plastic cases.

01:25:46.920 Everything, everything.

01:25:48.080 Everything has to be protected from the shoplifters,

01:25:50.420 but the police will show up if you name them and shame them.

01:25:53.480 They won't show up when they're doing the crime.

01:25:55.780 yeah well i'm sure andy burnham's got a plan to deal with all of this yeah yeah sure

01:26:01.780 ordinary members of whatever foreign secretary announces 290 million pounds to strengthen

01:26:09.560 ukraine's recovery and energy security because the ukraine scam has to keep on going

01:26:14.820 britain has spent almost six billion pounds since 2022 on ukraine on non-military aid

01:26:23.340 including the military stuff it's a total of 25 billion pounds meanwhile we haven't fixed our own

01:26:29.180 potholes so a foreign war gets 25 billion pounds but in britain nothing gets fixed ever well quite

01:26:40.480 literally the military is asking for a minimum of 18 billion pounds and the treasury said no

01:26:45.120 we'll give you 13.5 not a penny more so quibbling over what four and a half billion oh but we gave

01:26:52.200 25 away to the ukraine yep right so ukraine's uh security and defense is much more important

01:27:00.480 than our own according to these people yes crazy and this is crazy because they're misguided

01:27:06.460 not because they hate you they just accidentally yeah yeah accidentally completely accidentally

01:27:12.980 the wage compression that you're seeing so as max tempers points out here's what's happening in

01:27:19.580 written, everybody's wages are congregating around the mean to make sure that there are no

01:27:27.800 discrepancies between people based on talent. You will all earn the minimum wage or just a tiny bit

01:27:36.320 above the minimum wage. This is required. Is this accidental or is this the result of the tax code

01:27:43.960 that is intended to create a soviet society this is an accident they're all well-meaning okay okay

01:27:53.240 water boss who was denied a 400 000 pound bonus because the company keeps dumping sewage water

01:28:02.520 into rivers and into the sea instead of getting 417 000 pounds bonus she gets a 435 bonus 435

01:28:11.800 thousand bonus but it's called an allowance not a bonus rewarding failure constantly failing

01:28:20.920 upwards and she just happens to be a woman of color just happens to be totally totally coincidental

01:28:29.320 and then you see that you know the system is failing white working-class children 0.64

01:28:33.800 oh really oh really is it failing them or is it delivering exactly the outcome that these people

01:28:39.800 want is is this a system failing or is the system working it looks like this is the system working

01:28:48.760 it looks like this is the system working and just the cherry on top the government is launching a

01:28:56.680 renewed war on noticing so not only will you get arrested for spicy tweets or what have you

01:29:01.560 now they want to force social media to make sure that their algorithms favor the approved sources

01:29:10.520 of news. Oh, what? So we can't see anything that you've just shown throughout this entire segment?

01:29:15.240 Exactly. Exactly. And if you see this as being separate from, I don't know, the decision to

01:29:20.920 legalize abortion until birth, or if you see this as separate from, I don't know, euthanasia

01:29:26.520 intended to kill your grandparents and if you see this as separate from the decision to keep the 0.99

01:29:31.560 borders open you are retarded you are retarded the great institution is deliberate 80 90 of what 0.99

01:29:44.200 i've showed you came in the last couple of days like i i didn't want to put any effort into this 0.98

01:29:49.640 seriously didn't want to put much effort into it but in just two days you see these examples

01:29:56.200 of policies intended to crush 0.99

01:29:58.300 you, to kill you, 1.00

01:30:00.860 to make your life dangerous 1.00

01:30:02.460 and miserable.

01:30:04.200 And you're supposed to believe 0.97

01:30:06.240 that they're just misguided. 1.00

01:30:08.700 Okay, retard. 0.99

01:30:10.160 Okay. They're just misguided. 1.00

01:30:13.500 All right.

01:30:14.920 We'll just go straight

01:30:16.240 through because it's half past now. I'll just

01:30:18.280 blitz through a few comments from each

01:30:20.140 segment and then we can wrap up. So you can have

01:30:22.160 something of a break before our

01:30:23.860 RealPolitik. So, Canis,

01:30:26.200 familiaris says um for your segment bo burnham becoming pm is the worst case for labor as the

01:30:31.920 country keeps declining for the next three years they can't even blame it on an unlikable prime

01:30:37.000 minister uh mermondon 2010 says burnham awarding all this power to mayors is something he will use

01:30:43.600 when the labor party have voted out and he's slotted back in as mayor of manchester so can

01:30:49.180 enrich himself and his friends without breaking the law yep sounds like something he'd have a go

01:30:54.920 at uh from my segment michael de belba says um any thoughts your majesty thoughts charles doesn't

01:31:01.680 have the iq to support causing cognitive thought as much as uh you might hate the monarch it isn't

01:31:07.480 enough uh zesty king says i see charles charles is living up to his namesake it's um it's a strange

01:31:14.840 times we live in um especially to say we haven't had a charles for over 300 years uh derrick power

01:31:21.060 master of chippies says uh to play the king uh second part in the house of cards trilogy ended

01:31:27.600 up being kind of prophetic if only uh you have a francis uh cart uh to force an abdication i'm

01:31:34.720 sorry i'm not actually sure what that's referencing but then francis urquhart is in house of house of

01:31:39.220 cards right the original yeah it's all right basic character right okay i mean the original i've not

01:31:55.700 spacey thing is not bad or the first season of it i only watched the first season it was all right
