The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1474

00:00:00.360 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast, The Lotus Theses, for Friday the 31st of July, 2026.

00:00:06.060 I'm drawn by Nick Dixon and Dominic Frisby. How are you doing, Dominic?

00:00:09.080 Very well, thanks. A pleasure to be back.

00:00:10.600 Oh, thank you.

00:00:11.240 He doesn't care how I am.

00:00:12.960 I know how.

00:00:13.640 Can I just say, we're reunited and it feels so good, that's all I'm going to say.

00:00:18.040 Me and Dominic used to do a panel show on another channel.

00:00:22.140 The channel that shall not be named.

00:00:23.820 Yeah, never heard of it.

00:00:24.780 On telly.

00:00:25.500 Anyway.

00:00:26.020 Well, no one watches it anyway, so.

00:00:27.920 Today we're going to be talking about Spain's Camp of the Saints moment.

00:00:31.540 Alison Pearson winning a case against, was it the British government?

00:00:35.280 No, no, it's against the police crime commissioner for Essex.

00:00:38.300 Right, okay.

00:00:39.380 And then we're going to be talking about how Britain is just for sale.

00:00:42.740 Because you don't have a country anymore, you have a market.

00:00:46.000 Right, so this is the Spanish city of Ceuta.

00:00:49.720 There are 83,000 people living there, and it is located, as you can see, in North Africa,

00:00:55.880 at the very tip of Morocco here. This has been owned by the Spanish crown since 1580. So it's

00:01:03.480 not exactly a recent claim that they're making on this. And what it allows is for the Spanish to 0.99

00:01:09.140 control the Straits of Gibraltar. So I don't know how well I can show you, but so Gibraltar is just

00:01:14.280 north of it, but Spain controls this area around it. So that is Spanish waters. So legally through

00:01:22.420 various international treaties, they have the control of the Straits of Gibraltar. And there

00:01:27.660 are geostrategic reasons that people do not want Spain to have control of the Straits of Gibraltar,

00:01:35.800 and this is the background to the Camp of the States-style invasion of Suta, which I'm sure

00:01:43.860 you've all seen. This is the footage of the literally tens of thousands of Moroccan men 0.51

00:01:50.960 who have somehow just rocked up outside of this city. 1.00

00:01:55.720 I mean, it's got walls.

00:01:56.980 It's not like they can just walk in.

00:01:59.220 But they've managed it.

00:02:00.300 And now, I mean, that's literally the barrier,

00:02:03.800 is a small bit of ocean that they can swim around.

00:02:06.620 And then they're in.

00:02:08.560 What you're seeing there is live footage of the Danube

00:02:11.620 in about 370 AD as the barbarians crossed.

00:02:15.940 And ironically, it is a barbarian invasion.

00:02:18.720 But it's remarkable, isn't it? 0.90

00:02:19.720 It's like they're looking at Spain as the land of milk and honey.

00:02:22.820 Really?

00:02:23.240 Okay.

00:02:23.980 Fair enough.

00:02:24.880 Things must be pretty rough in Morocco. 1.00

00:02:26.120 It's just convenient they can get in there. 1.00

00:02:27.380 I mean... 1.00

00:02:28.140 The land of black pig. 1.00

00:02:29.380 Aaron Bastani will tell you that it's just Africa. 0.99

00:02:31.580 We'll get to Aaron Bastani.

00:02:33.580 We'll get to all the leftist reactions.

00:02:35.400 But before we do, of course, go and get your copy of Islander 6 now.

00:02:39.640 It's shop.loses.com.

00:02:41.460 It's incredible work by me and various others.

00:02:43.820 And it won't be on sale forever, so get it while you can.

00:02:46.280 What is it?

00:02:47.080 It's our magazine that we produce.

00:02:48.580 uh it's it's honestly it's the best thing we produce i think i'll give you a copy before you

00:02:54.140 go um and you can go read it it's basically a right-wing intellectual magazine an aesthetic

00:02:59.020 magazine i think i might like it yeah i think you might actually um the reviews have been coming in

00:03:04.540 they're very good very positive um anyway so these these people okay how did thousands tens of

00:03:09.500 thousands of them get to suitor well it seems that they've been literally uh brought in by truck

00:03:15.720 truckloads of young men now how would you organize something like this it looks like

00:03:22.920 coca-cola organized they would have seen it look like the coke habit it's like coke in the background

00:03:26.480 sponsored by you would presumably have to be uh the moroccan government right and so it does kind

00:03:32.900 of look like this is what's happening i mean literally just sort of dropping them off out of

00:03:39.660 these trucks on the border i mean who's this guy who's this guy organizing this he looks like an

00:03:46.500 official of some sort and they're not carrying bags or anything they're not carrying bags they've

00:03:50.120 got nothing which is really strange i mean you would think they'd have like you know just

00:03:53.820 toothbrush water yeah exactly no no a lot of them are just not even with shirts so anyway this

00:03:59.760 appears means within 24 hours they're going to get desperate exactly food water it does indeed

00:04:05.440 doesn't it they're going to be very desperate especially in the hot north african sun

00:04:09.480 i'm sure that they have made long-term plans for their jaunt to suitor um and so this looks like

00:04:19.300 the organized use of civilians as a weapon against spain by morocco and now i've seen uh reports

00:04:29.100 that a lot of them are freed criminals pardoned by the king yesterday i've been unable to corroborate

00:04:33.980 this so uh take it with a grade of salt but isn't that an interesting thing if that is the case

00:04:39.300 that they basically have emptied their jails what putin did within against ukraine very much and

00:04:44.520 he's been trying to do it against europe generally i mean poland poland is a massive border wall

00:04:48.260 because of all the middle easterners that putin has been trying to send through belarus across

00:04:53.500 to them um and the same sort of thing that the turks should do that to ireland

00:04:58.160 there's no border there's an open border uh anyway so you've got this quite evident uh strategic

00:05:07.480 maneuver that's going on through uh the moroccan authorities using what appeared to be criminals

00:05:13.820 and other vagrant ne'er-do-wells who would go on this kind of march to uh the spanish city this

00:05:20.560 little enclave they have and uh so they got in and then you had like weird videos like this

00:05:26.500 running through the streets 1.00

00:05:28.000 and then just some white woman 0.98

00:05:30.020 welcoming them all in. 1.00

00:05:31.120 Yeah, what was that about?

00:05:32.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:32.560 I mean, I said she should be charged with treason.

00:05:34.400 I don't really see why not.

00:05:35.780 Helping an enemy, isn't it?

00:05:37.880 I just don't see how you would characterize this

00:05:40.100 as anything other than an invasion, right?

00:05:42.060 Exactly.

00:05:42.240 I mean, was she genuinely doing that

00:05:43.840 or what was going on?

00:05:44.960 I've no idea.

00:05:45.680 Oh, she's videoing it.

00:05:46.540 She's videoing it, yeah, yeah.

00:05:48.320 But then she's waving them in.

00:05:49.860 This is good content for her Instagram.

00:05:51.380 Unless she's doing it ironically,

00:05:52.340 saying, oh, just come on in,

00:05:53.240 but I don't think so.

00:05:54.300 Doubtful.

00:05:54.940 Doubtful, isn't it? 0.58

00:05:55.480 Until we recognise it's an invasion, we're just going to lose the West.

00:05:59.100 But will any country do that?

00:06:00.860 The only one I've seen saying is Italy saying something about closing the border

00:06:04.760 and getting out of the Schengen area or something.

00:06:07.000 That's the only thing I've seen so far.

00:06:08.740 We'll get to all of that.

00:06:10.240 But the point is, how would you characterise this other than an invasion?

00:06:14.000 Like this, if you went back 500 years, all of these would be the sultan's men.

00:06:19.740 And they literally invaded Spain a thousand years ago.

00:06:24.300 like the sultan's men they'd be armed they'd be uh in ranks and they'd be exactly those sorts of

00:06:30.820 guys invading a foreign country a medieval army was often just grab your pick you know charlie

00:06:37.280 off the farm we're going to war it wasn't necessarily a trained soldier it was just an

00:06:40.840 ordinary person but these are just young men who were invading a foreign country did you see there

00:06:46.760 was some footage of like lots of people walking through countryside and through hillside actually

00:06:52.360 walking to suitor as well yes that's been going on yeah yeah it's like why they all decided all

00:06:58.540 at once from all over morocco today was the day there's got to have been some coordination yeah

00:07:03.760 it's been planned for sure no no doubt whatsoever i mean and we'll get into the numbers in a second

00:07:09.000 but as you can imagine this uh went brilliantly in suitor obviously you had rioting i mean look 1.00

00:07:15.500 amazing what what do you think happens when you get tens of thousands of moroccan men who have 0.88

00:07:21.280 got nothing as you say they've they're not carrying anything they're not settlers uh they're invaders 1.00

00:07:26.680 what do you think happens well they start rioting and breaking stuff and looting which is obviously

00:07:32.140 another thing that's happening what is that a cafe yeah it's some shop or something i have no idea

00:07:38.580 but they're breaking and they're looting and the residents have fought back you know that you get

00:07:44.140 like knots of residents who like attacking the individual ones they they catch but what are they

00:07:48.760 supposed to do you know the whole the whole city is now overrun i mean there are only this is yeah

00:07:53.880 this is something you don't realize you kind of notice it when you go to the countryside and

00:07:58.540 there's like a you know there's a little village in the middle of nowhere and a few old ladies and

00:08:02.160 a few kids the disproportionate strength of a young man versus a normal citizen even just a

00:08:09.240 young man against a 50 year old bloke yeah and and you know this will just be ordinary

00:08:13.320 spanish citizens against young men yeah i mean here they are breaking into someone's house

00:08:18.480 of course because they need somewhere to squat at night where else they're going to go it's like

00:08:24.380 world war z it is it's but how would you describe this other than an invasion and this has gone on

00:08:30.780 uh into today the second day where there's more of them

00:08:34.260 and so what are we supposed to say or do about this i've been to suitor yeah

00:08:43.180 tell me about it well it's a long time ago i went there we would have been 1990 summer of 1990 but i

00:08:50.080 went i was living in rome at the time funnily enough and we got a train down to the south of

00:08:55.820 spain across to suta and then from suta we went into morocco and up into the rift mountains

00:09:00.360 but suta you know felt like spain and you literally took those you know you walked a few

00:09:08.260 meters across the border and you you really were immediately conscious that you were in not just

00:09:14.480 another country but another culture yeah the people look different the language was different

00:09:18.980 there's the everything was much more run down and in those days i think there's been a directive 0.63

00:09:24.680 from the um moroccan king or whoever's in charge that moroccans have to be can't be as aggressive

00:09:30.980 with tourists oh really uh but back in the in in 1990 they were so aggressive and as soon as they

00:09:38.120 saw a you know a northern european their eyes lit up dollar signs in their eyes yeah women and all

00:09:43.840 the rest of it and you know as soon as you walk up you are in africa now they used to say that

00:09:48.980 welcome to africa and then if you you know didn't do business with them didn't want to buy whatever

00:09:54.040 they were selling oh they'd get so aggressive with you and that you are in africa now you are

00:09:59.260 not safe and this used to happen all the time and it was just i've you know in those days there was

00:10:04.920 a sort of you kind of got bragging rights as a backpacker i would only have been 20 if you went

00:10:09.980 to india india was like the toughest place to go because there was so much hassle but everyone had

00:10:15.160 been to morocco before they went to india just said india is just so much easier morocco was so

00:10:20.100 aggressive yeah and and i think the king had to say tone it down guys because we're losing loads

00:10:24.520 of tourists at a certain point yeah so i wouldn't go there it was it was the and you literally walk

00:10:31.420 three three yards across the border and and you felt it yeah so i mean from what we've seen of

00:10:36.500 the video footage coming out i would suggest that there's a problem here what do you think nick is

00:10:41.360 there a problem here well yeah i mean possibly some kind of emergency it is an emergency as you

00:10:46.140 say unless it's classified as an invasion we can't can't do anything about it yeah for some

00:10:50.060 reason the spanish government has rejected it being a national emergency spanish government

00:10:55.120 leftists the the governor of suitor is like uh excuse me central government could you help us

00:11:00.520 please we have a problem here uh they've rejected it on the grounds that uh national emergencies

00:11:05.920 can cannot be declared over migration issues they can only be declared in response to dire

00:11:10.960 meteorological events such as current wildfires are in the face of volcanic or nuclear threat 0.97

00:11:16.320 just change the stupid rule then yeah exactly it's just such a bureaucratic response to a 0.89

00:11:22.080 physical thing it's just nuts but they are they do have a communist government so the footage is so 0.99

00:11:28.040 radicalizing they're going to run into this problem anywhere everywhere in europe the more

00:11:31.760 we see things like this everyone's going to be saying well this is an invasion why aren't you

00:11:34.640 stopping it and there'll be so much pressure for governments to do something whether they will or

00:11:37.800 not is a different question yeah too late by the time they act it'll be too late yeah already is 0.98

00:11:41.960 too late was it is it lampadusa the italian island that's got tens of thousands of foreigners just

00:11:47.300 there's more people there than there are lampadus yeah there's only like 8 000 lampadus yeah you

00:11:52.060 know like 20 30 000 african well lampadus is closer to north africa than it is to europe

00:11:57.360 therefore it should be african please get to that uh right so anyway so i mean from the numbers we've

00:12:03.360 seen it looks like there is literally tens of thousands coming in uh so of course the bbc did

00:12:08.420 their best to uh hundreds to downplay that as much as possible i mean there are probably more

00:12:14.120 than 100 in this photo this small photo of them breaking in right i was saying we need bbc verify

00:12:19.260 on that yeah well thankfully uh the bbc is nothing if not the court stenographer of the global liberal

00:12:25.680 order and so if the global liberal order says something different there's like yeah yeah you're

00:12:30.620 right it's 50 000 nearly that was so funny life comes at you fast hundreds to 49 000 yeah yeah

00:12:36.420 I was going to say the Telegraph was reporting 40,000 this morning, so...

00:12:40.140 Our estimates of tens of thousands turned out to be a lot more accurate

00:12:43.220 because it's obviously tens of thousands.

00:12:45.560 It is so many people.

00:12:47.620 It's unbelievable.

00:12:48.380 It's a football stadium.

00:12:49.440 Yeah, it is.

00:12:50.800 It's a football stadium.

00:12:51.760 It's unbelievable numbers of young men who have...

00:12:55.120 I mean, that's an army.

00:12:56.420 Like, William the Conqueror conquered England with 10,000 men.

00:12:58.560 Yeah.

00:12:59.320 Like, sorry, 50,000 men.

00:13:00.840 It's not like London or something.

00:13:05.320 it's it's it's like it's not a big it's like gibraltar well yeah i don't know what the

00:13:11.060 population of suitor is but 83 okay so half more than half the population of suitor have entered

00:13:16.920 suitor except the demographic is completely different because there's no old ladies and 0.99

00:13:20.640 yeah there's no wives there's no children it's just young men and they're causing havoc in there 1.00

00:13:25.580 but for some reason this is not a crisis for the spanish government because of course migration

00:13:30.180 is a human right as far as that i can't believe that they they are so uh hell-bent on not being

00:13:39.580 able to admit what's staring them right in the face yep it's it's like the monty python thing

00:13:43.560 that's just a scratch i mean it's it's that insane i've seen i've seen reports that nine

00:13:47.360 people have died but i couldn't corroborate anything so yeah i wonder if it's really

00:13:50.420 possible with their ideology you know there's all these ideas is it deliberate is it conspiracy

00:13:54.120 to destroy the west and so on i mean their ideology fundamentally is that this on some

00:13:58.760 level is righteous i don't think they can get beyond that yeah this is why it's even the pope

00:14:05.280 is saying you know if you hate the west and you think you think white people have this guilt that

00:14:09.700 is almost amounts to original sin you secretly want this so you can't bring yourself to anything

00:14:13.720 about it it's what we deserve often it's not even secret right this this is why people are comparing

00:14:19.140 it to camp of the saints because the the strategy of sending hordes of unarmed civilians to overwhelm

00:14:24.780 the borders means that if i mean if they were armed okay it'd be legitimate to bring the army 0.57

00:14:29.720 out and shoot them because they're an invading force that are going to kill people presumably

00:14:34.740 but because they're unarmed even if they're still invading and overwhelming borders it's basically 0.99

00:14:39.560 playing on the kind of christian morality of the west saying oh you can't shoot an unarmed person

00:14:43.020 it's like okay but what about 50 000 unarmed people yeah it's a loot what are parallels with 0.77

00:14:47.560 hamas hiding out amongst their own civilians you know they're yeah it's a similar exploitation of 0.99

00:14:53.500 stupid it's it's a bit like the old thing about fighting the last war it's like we we haven't 0.99

00:14:58.540 realized we need drones we're still buying these useless tanks in in britain yeah and now it's all 1.00

00:15:02.760 about drones this is the new warfare and they haven't realized it yet or they seek or they

00:15:07.700 like it or they haven't realized there's definitely a form of hybrid warfare against spain um so there

00:15:12.680 are a few options right when this happens you've got some choices to make right now france has

00:15:18.620 decided that they're gonna actually strengthen their borders against spain because they don't

00:15:23.020 want these people arriving in their country and a lot of foreigners already arrived in france so i 1.00

00:15:27.120 mean like you know it seems like the horse has bolted but okay fair enough now's the time to 0.98

00:15:30.660 strengthen the border i suppose um so they'll all have mates in out in uh marseille exactly they'll

00:15:36.360 have they'll have lots of friends all over france um and then you get the response from the left

00:15:41.000 which is just tell us well they're just they're just people looking for a better life it's looking

00:15:45.160 for i mean look at these there's just some lefty online ryan krassenstein i was reviewing the name

00:15:52.620 but yeah but look these are not you might say they're looking for a better life well yeah

00:15:58.000 whose expense and what does that entail yeah i mean maybe they like pillaging is probably a great

00:16:03.720 life for them yeah exactly and they like violence maybe sorry what what's your argument here brian

00:16:08.740 this is the gdp that's finally arriving in spain these are looters you could use that about any

00:16:13.520 army really couldn't you other than like mercenaries you could say well they just want

00:16:16.560 they invaded because they wanted to be germany in the mid-20s you don't want a better life

00:16:20.660 that is what they want we colonized because we wanted a better life

00:16:23.980 you have all the resources and so this is this is just a bunch of young men who have been given 0.53

00:16:31.600 an opportunity in the sanction by their own government to invade and loot and plunder

00:16:36.660 this is what this is cause trouble lads yeah exactly this is why i'm letting you out of the

00:16:41.480 jails presumably and then you get like people like haran bastani who uh go on gb news and say this

00:16:46.600 This has been happening for about 30 years with Kuwait and Malaya. It's quite a unique situation.

00:16:50.740 And I say unique because, as was mentioned there, these are issues right across Europe,

00:16:55.940 including Britain. But in the case of these particular enclaves, they are in Africa. I

00:17:00.960 think this is really important to say. They are on the landmass of Africa. And I would submit

00:17:06.820 that if you have territory like that, this will happen. Imagine again for...

00:17:11.480 No. This happens because we let it happen. It wouldn't happen if there were just

00:17:16.520 10 men on those walls with guns not one african would try and get through because you'd be shot

00:17:22.600 right this happens not because this city's on the landmass of africa aaron but it's because

00:17:27.840 the political will of the governments of europe is to literally give our continent over i love the

00:17:34.560 way he talked this has been happening for 30 years and he talks with great authority as though he's a

00:17:39.240 great student of the history of of of suitor and can't even spell it he's spelt it c-u-e-t-a and

00:17:46.300 calls it kuwaita yeah where that you know there is no such place he's done some frantic googling

00:17:50.840 and wikipedia like the rest of us rapid gaslighting yeah i don't buy the thing can we talk about the

00:17:57.340 fact that it's on the african main because you know as you said suitor's been spanish since the

00:18:04.180 16th century and i think morocco is only existed in like 1940 or something yeah uh so but

00:18:13.440 those kind of borders like in the days of of of sailing ships before motorized engines

00:18:22.040 the we were much more in touch with the water than we are now and it was and there wasn't you

00:18:28.240 know the water was a natural barrier of course but you know so the idea of england and ireland

00:18:33.260 all being part of the same place and and and you know bits of the west coast of france it was a

00:18:38.060 much more natural thing you just cross the water in the same way you'd cross the river thames or

00:18:42.580 something it was a and so and the same moreover we have navies which themselves are massive

00:18:47.640 force projection tools absolutely and but so the idea that it's on the african mainland and that

00:18:53.940 way of that that divisible barrier is a product of modern maps yeah not which they didn't have

00:18:59.100 then absolutely so it's a different it's a completely different way of viewing the world

00:19:02.520 it's also a very peculiar thing it's right okay because it's on a continent morocco gets to why

00:19:09.220 doesn't algeria get it why doesn't egypt get it if it's on the african continent it's like sorry

00:19:13.620 we don't that's not how any kind of political organization works um and if borders did matter

00:19:19.960 because it's in africa then why haven't we got proper walls and all the rest of it and proper

00:19:25.020 policing and and how did england ever do anything wrong by annexing wales and scotland

00:19:28.980 sorry you're on the same island as us we're taking it it's ours now you know this this is not how

00:19:35.560 these things work because it's actually people that lay claim to land not geographic entities

00:19:41.680 it's not continental shelf that works out who owns what aaron but that's the point right the

00:19:47.540 gas gaslighting like you know i don't even mind aaron bastani but of course he is a leftist

00:19:52.700 and the whole point is to hit for to pour poison into your ear so don't resist yeah inevitable 0.96

00:19:58.240 this is normal 0.96

00:19:58.900 yeah like I say

00:19:59.380 yeah he can be alright

00:20:00.280 in some of his comments

00:20:00.800 but yeah it's this

00:20:01.540 very strange impulse

00:20:02.480 it's like the fact checking

00:20:03.940 thing isn't it

00:20:04.360 actually they didn't

00:20:05.380 boil them

00:20:05.840 you know those kind of

00:20:06.360 famous fact checks

00:20:07.080 you can sort of lie

00:20:08.400 with certain pedantic facts

00:20:10.400 it's on the landmass

00:20:11.880 of Africa

00:20:12.140 but it doesn't really

00:20:12.540 tell us anything

00:20:13.160 but just to introduce

00:20:13.900 this kind of fatalistic

00:20:15.040 oh no this is inevitable

00:20:16.160 it's inevitable

00:20:16.900 that for some reason

00:20:17.840 the Spanish government

00:20:18.620 would just allow

00:20:19.320 tens of thousands

00:20:20.480 of Moroccan men 1.00

00:20:21.500 to storm into your town 1.00

00:20:22.660 it's just completely wrong

00:20:23.240 he is voicing how

00:20:24.040 the elites basically feel

00:20:25.220 they seem to feel

00:20:25.860 it's inevitable

00:20:26.320 I would say suit

00:20:27.660 is a bit like you know dover or if i was to compare it to an english city it's a bit like

00:20:33.900 dover or or margate well obviously gibraltar but gibraltar's kind of there's money in gibraltar in

00:20:40.760 the way that's true yeah in the way that there isn't it's like one of those kentish you know

00:20:44.700 towns that's on the front line it feels like that but the way that these things are held

00:20:49.000 aaron is by force just fyi which is why we still have gibraltar uh they've tried to take it from

00:20:54.000 many times and failed every time they must be sending the army to gibraltar of course he isn't

00:20:58.980 but i mean they should really be sending how many ships have we got have we even got a ship i think

00:21:03.920 we have about 15 ships about half of them are in dock at the moment right well he should they

00:21:08.740 they should because it's never send a little guy with a paddle boat or something yeah um anyway so

00:21:14.640 this is interesting because it is part of a geopolitical issue uh you'll find articles like

00:21:21.320 this from the american enterprise institute from a chap a senior fellow called michael rubin

00:21:26.860 who back in april i think this was sorry march 26 2026 started suggesting well why don't the

00:21:35.500 moroccans do exactly that right spain's pedro sanchez should make good on his anti-colonial

00:21:41.040 rhetoric and end its occupation of africa yeah good good point why not why not if we're a bunch

00:21:46.220 of leftists. Why don't we do that? And actually, what's Mr. Sanchez going to say? He is a leftist.

00:21:53.040 King Mohammed VI built upon his green legacy with his stewardship of the Sahara. Oh yeah,

00:21:57.580 that's right. Because Morocco is a colonial state too. Morocco currently occupies a large part of

00:22:05.460 the Western Sahara. And apparently they've done just great there, which is what the American

00:22:10.860 Enterprise Institute is arguing. And therefore Spain, a colonial state, should give up this

00:22:15.300 territory to another colonial state that's a weird thing to start arguing isn't it

00:22:19.980 spain's socialist prime minister pedro sanchez embracing the language of decolonization 0.54

00:22:25.400 decolonization mohammed the sixth should reclaim the spirit of the green march to finalize the 0.83

00:22:29.820 expulsion of spanish colonists from moroccan soil are they spanish colonists though if they've been 1.00

00:22:35.100 there since 1580 is that what is that do you call them spanish colonists at that point 600 years

00:22:42.180 yeah it is like it's all 400 plus years is it sorry yeah is is there a like a threshold do we

00:22:48.820 do we call americans american colonists like they've been there since after since about 1600

00:22:55.860 right but they've been in there for longer so do we call them colonists some people do call americans

00:23:02.320 colonists these kind of people yeah i don't think we do call them colonists right but anyway he says

00:23:06.200 quote, Moroccans should gather, send bulldozers to the border, then enter Sueta and Malalia 0.74

00:23:11.900 unarmed to raise the flag. Sanchez and the Spanish press bleep that they have no grounds to act,

00:23:16.560 nor for that matter would NATO, even if Moroccan forces enter the towns to restore order and

00:23:21.200 organize the dispatch of settlers across the Strait of Gibraltar and back to Spain.

00:23:25.020 So this has been argued for by the American, that's interesting. And then you've got like

00:23:29.820 the UN response, which is, ah, well, you have to preserve the rights and dignity of those who

00:23:34.780 arrive in Souta amid the migration crisis,

00:23:38.640 while Spain and Morocco strengthen their coordination.

00:23:40.840 So it's all become a bit of a fait accompli now.

00:23:43.120 It's like, no, no, the Spanish there have got to be evicted from their homes. 0.92

00:23:46.100 Sure, they've been there for more than 400, well, about 450 years almost. 1.00

00:23:50.040 But suddenly they have no right to that.

00:23:53.180 I mean, if a guy breaks into your house and squats for a long enough period of time,

00:23:56.960 he gets a right to your house.

00:23:59.320 But if you've been there for 400 plus years, you've got no right whatsoever. 0.96

00:24:04.780 only if you're european though right the moroccans have got every right to the western sahara even 0.85

00:24:09.740 though the people of the western sahara don't want the moroccans there and it's actually termed an

00:24:14.180 illegal occupation but hey thank you mr gutteries uh then you've got the un israel's un ambassador

00:24:22.920 who points out wow spain never misses an opportunity to elect to israel has declared

00:24:27.740 a state of emergency in sueter uh suitor sorry i should pronounce it following the crisis over

00:24:32.860 its immigration policy maybe before it continues lecturing us it's time explain to the world why

00:24:37.080 it still maintains colonial enclaves in africa i'm not even sure if you want start pulling that

00:24:41.320 string my friend because they all think that israel is a colonial occupation of palestine

00:24:45.720 so are you sure that's wise it was also false wasn't it they haven't declared a state of

00:24:50.780 emergency no they haven't no helpfully points out because they're communists and they don't

00:24:54.300 see immigration as an issue uh and then this is the same guy who suggested that the west should 0.53

00:24:59.740 taking gaza refugees by the way all those refugees that israel's creating in gaza you need to take

00:25:05.880 them europe anyway then you've got netanyahu and his son who've been threatening spain for a long 0.96

00:25:14.280 time is you've got netanyahu's son here you can see dear arabs and muslims want to free occupied

00:25:19.700 islam arab islamic lands here's a good start and he posts a picture of suta and malalia however

00:25:25.720 that's pronounced. And then you've got a video here of Netanyahu literally saying Spain has

00:25:30.740 repeatedly diplomatically opposed Israel, and this won't be tolerated. It will pay an immediate

00:25:36.300 price. That's very interesting. The fact that it's happened in Suta and Malia is even more of a sort

00:25:43.840 of indication about how planned this was. Absolutely. This is something that has been

00:25:50.480 written about extensively, actually. Here's an Israeli talking about it. The pieces have been

00:25:54.800 assembling for months in march 2026 michael rubin of the american enterprise institute uh writing

00:25:59.860 through the middle eastern forum called on the trump administration that was the chat we saw

00:26:03.340 previously to formally recognize suta and millelia as occupied moroccan territory branding spain a

00:26:09.920 colonial power running colonies across the strait of gibraltar yeah but everyone involved in this is

00:26:14.600 a colonial power israel is currently expanding its territory in the middle east america has a bunch

00:26:21.480 of like puerto rico and guam and all that it's got its own colonial territory greenland greenland

00:26:26.600 and morocco has the western sahara like everyone involved in this is a colonial power so you're

00:26:32.360 just pointing the finger at one another it's like what are you doing anyway the abraham accords

00:26:37.220 transformed morocco from a quiet interlocutor with israel into a formal military partner

00:26:41.460 in january 2026 israel and morocco signed a joint military work plan for the year during the third

00:26:47.540 meeting of their joint military committee in Tel Aviv, which the IDF described as a deepening

00:26:51.560 cooperation with a key partner for regional stability. Well, why do they need this regional

00:26:55.780 stability? Well, he says, for Israel, amplifying Morocco's claim is not charity. It is a strategic 0.66

00:27:01.380 investment in the partner across the Strait of Gibraltar holds the key to one of the world's

00:27:06.200 most vital maritime choke points. Why is that? Because Sanchez is a diehard supporter of the

00:27:12.320 Palestinian cause. Sanchez and his government have been willing to speak with clarity,

00:27:16.100 conspicuously absent from many of spain's western allies spain recognized the state of palestine

00:27:20.700 sanchez has openly used the word genocide to describe what is being done in gaza and his

00:27:24.700 government has moved to entrench an arms embargo against israel so the spanish who control the

00:27:29.620 waters around the gaza strait uh the the gibraltar strait straight gibraltar have been preventing

00:27:34.440 arms going to israel for political reasons and israel would like that strait opened

00:27:40.100 gaza was on our mind when we watched celebrate and spain's triumph in the world oh yeah i saw

00:27:48.220 that game i can tell you the last thing i was thinking about was gaza i was just thinking 0.98

00:27:51.900 about how dirty the argentinians were but anyway i don't know why everyone's shocked about that 0.60

00:27:55.860 though yeah oh the argentinians are playing dirty well yes their name is argentina uh anyway sorry

00:28:01.300 the the i think the geopolitical significance of the fact that spain controls access to the

00:28:09.260 mediterranean is enormous and you know because failing on britain's part frankly well we should

00:28:15.940 control that well we had it at one point again you know water was how you travel distance back

00:28:22.180 in the day that you know you it was much quicker over water than it was over land and so there is

00:28:26.280 a historical relationship between spain and the west coast of spain and southern spain and you

00:28:30.700 know cornwall and and those and ireland and those kind of places there's just a natural um migration

00:28:36.600 there but anyway the all i was going to say it's just going to create another strait of hormuz issue

00:28:42.120 i mean it's really serious yeah but the the problem the spanish have is that they're not

00:28:47.760 nearly as sort of entrenched as the iranians have the iranians have been preparing for this

00:28:51.380 for a long time the spanish haven't been preparing for this at all well morocco might have been

00:28:56.100 well yeah yeah morocco may well have been yeah yeah but it's a spain was asleep at the wheel

00:29:00.460 is yeah which is part of its plan and it's very clear that israel has been strengthening its

00:29:05.420 ties with morocco militarily and diplomatically in order to essentially leverage this open because

00:29:11.040 if now spain loses control of suta well then spain doesn't control the waters in the straits

00:29:16.400 of gibraltar and israel can get weapons where does america stand on that because obviously

00:29:20.740 america supports israel in this but then you have people like trump talking about the disgrace of

00:29:25.560 what's happening in spain so how do they square that obviously tom doesn't want that trump doesn't 0.81

00:29:30.060 one morocco controlling the straits of formu's the straits of gibraltar sorry but uh he probably

00:29:35.580 doesn't want that either but um that's true but he uh ideologically is very opposed to the current

00:29:40.560 spanish government and so he and to my this kind of migrated in general into europe and the west

00:29:45.300 sure but but he tweeted in fact that uh spain needs their own trump basically uh in order to

00:29:52.340 allow us to get the weapons yeah i i've got two things i wanted to say if i may the first is

00:29:57.880 like when you were talking about that i was like why is why is why is israel

00:30:01.160 allied with morocco you know morocco is islamic and israel's jewish and islam and judaism don't

00:30:06.160 get on and you know religion and then i thought you know i've always said that um the state in

00:30:13.940 the uk replaced christianity yes you know now we worship the nhs instead of you know and the state

00:30:20.420 state provided education outside did all the things that the church used to do

00:30:25.660 and of course what are these you know and and you know one point of king and god and wherever there

00:30:32.440 was a lot of crossover between the various things so communism is just another belief system yes and

00:30:37.880 of course it is but it's a religion and so you know i guess israel's looking at that going well

00:30:43.660 we prefer islam moroccan islam to communism maybe you know there's what i mean it's moroccan islam

00:30:50.840 is not going to stop the flow of weapons to israel no exactly but spanish communism is yeah

00:30:55.940 well there you go i mean it's it's much more basic than that but i think i'm talking more

00:31:01.940 generally is you need to look at the world not just through the prism of christianity islam and

00:31:10.100 um judaism you also have to look through the world through the um through the prism of of

00:31:18.480 communism authoritarianism free marketism whatever it's it's they're they're on they're

00:31:24.380 on the same uh level if you see what i mean yeah just to hurry this up a bit sorry no no it's all

00:31:31.060 right you get people like uh forbes uh who just sat there and go well i mean i can't explain why

00:31:36.520 there's this sudden 50 000 moroccan men who arrived at suta and have just broken in it's

00:31:43.040 impossible to imagine why this happened uh but they they think well i mean it's it's unclear

00:31:47.560 but uh maybe it's because of the uh the naturalization of half a million undocumented

00:31:55.080 undocumented immigrants in spain it's like yeah i mean they did do that but that doesn't explain

00:32:00.020 why 50 000 turn up on one day and are busting on trucks and walk all that way on that one day

00:32:06.900 this would be a long slow or like not necessarily slow but a long drawn out influx it wouldn't be

00:32:12.900 an army arrives on that day come on and you know you've got a daily signal be like well this is a

00:32:17.940 predictable result of the spanish amnesty as if this is an organic phenomenon it's like no i don't

00:32:22.700 think this is an organic phenomenon right now that incentivizes them but it wouldn't explain

00:32:26.260 the level of organization yeah exactly exactly anyway just uh finish off so the the spanish

00:32:31.700 president has at least taken this seriously uh even if he's not going to declare a state of

00:32:35.920 emergency uh the government of spain he says is fully committed to providing an immediate response

00:32:40.180 the situation is suitor i assume he's just going to give them citizenship um then there's no

00:32:45.620 immigrant invasion is there no they're all citizens we are mobilizing all necessary

00:32:49.560 resources presumably the rubber stamps to give them visas uh working with moroccan and international 0.59

00:32:54.920 authorities what the enemy and preparing necessary measures to restore normalcy as soon as possible

00:33:00.180 what is normalcy now is he taking it back to the 90s like what's he gonna restore i don't know

00:33:05.480 sounding a bit rude but low he has uh he has pledged to protect suta uh the government will

00:33:10.480 use all of the state's resources and tools to guarantee the safety of suta citizens uh okay

00:33:15.200 and they've also pledged a total and unequivocal commitment to suta and its future which is

00:33:20.420 interesting because it puts the communist decolonialist president of spain in the position

00:33:27.040 where now has to defend his own uh colonialist uh properties and holdings so okay that's

00:33:34.200 interesting um they will actually be sending troops and police to suitor which would have

00:33:39.600 been more useful in advance should have been there before the invasion well yeah but uh anyway

00:33:46.740 what's interesting about the guardian reporting on this one just to finish this off is that they're

00:33:50.400 like yeah most appeared to be young men yeah did they did they appear to be that's how bad it is

00:33:55.460 the bbc's admitting it's 49 000 the guardian is admitting there's some men there yeah but they did

00:34:00.140 find a family with women and children because one found a freelance photographer working for

00:34:05.720 the associated press that's impressive out of 49 000 like find me the one woman i honestly i

00:34:11.820 think there's a plan i think they just were like right okay get do you see a report from it was

00:34:16.480 some sort of spanish station they were going there's loads of women and children here it was

00:34:20.780 in spanish but apparently that's what they were saying and they kept just just flat out lying

00:34:23.600 then show us while these men literally then a man comes up and like takes over the camera like a

00:34:27.560 young man it's hilarious someone on the ground says uh the situation is absolute chaos it's not

00:34:32.280 possible to give precise numbers there are thousands of migrants crossing the border has

00:34:35.820 totally collapsed so there we go so best of luck to the people in suitor can i add one thing to

00:34:42.100 that have i got two minutes yeah of course okay so this is something that i think you might find

00:34:47.280 quite interesting and why i imagine trump and whoever designs his foreign policy will be

00:34:53.760 extremely alarmed about this um and this is something i first learned about this is a sort

00:34:58.340 of undeclared american u.s foreign policy but i recently spent a couple of weeks in namibia

00:35:03.000 looking at some mines and namibia is on the southwest um tip of africa one country up from

00:35:08.960 south africa and what i learned talking to some um namibian fund managers out there and fund

00:35:15.320 managers are always very good they always know what's going on because they need to

00:35:18.100 and america spent an enormous amount of money uh on its namibian embassy and it's absolutely

00:35:25.180 enormous and because there's something of a uh a rush going on in to control namibian natural

00:35:33.160 resources especially uranium it's the fourth third largest uranium producer in the world and all the 0.66

00:35:38.140 mines are owned by the chinese and but more significantly than that is he's been sending out

00:35:43.660 senior diplomats out to namibia and they've been investing a lot also in the ports apparently and

00:35:50.120 you you the diplomats are of such a seniority you would not understand why they would be sent to

00:35:56.340 namibia and my fund manager said friend says basically the problem is trump is trying to

00:36:01.980 control or america is trying to control all the access points to the atlantic and um and that and

00:36:09.420 And Ramatonga and South Africa are not playing ball

00:36:12.000 in the way that they want them to. 0.74

00:36:13.340 And Namibia is one stop up. 0.98

00:36:14.680 So it's like the next best option. 0.92

00:36:16.740 And then that explains why America's done that. 0.98

00:36:20.580 It's got its little alliance going on with Malay,

00:36:23.240 the whole thing going on with Panama, as you may remember,

00:36:26.460 Greenland, the Northern Access Point,

00:36:28.140 and the Strait of Hormuz.

00:36:29.780 Strait of Gibraltar? 0.98

00:36:30.680 No, the Strait of Hormuz, the bombing of Iran 0.93

00:36:33.360 and the whole thing about the Strait of Hormuz.

00:36:34.860 so so suddenly this with the access point to the atlantic and the mediterranean is is like

00:36:42.640 extremely threatening to that so you i the prediction i'm making is that you're suddenly

00:36:48.040 going to see america getting very involved in this but it's not just america though because

00:36:52.020 like israel has now access to all of the military information that the pentagon has they've just

00:36:58.780 passed a one-sided bill that gives israel all of the information that the pentagon and the u.s

00:37:04.520 military has why would they do that yeah that's a great question isn't it why would they why would

00:37:09.120 they sign a one uh pass a one-sided law that just gives israel like omnipresent information about

00:37:15.880 everything america knows why would they do i don't know um but anyway uh that's a question

00:37:21.980 for another time um yeah well you might have to use the mouse okay yeah mine's come out now as

00:37:29.020 well don't know what's going on with it today um based ape says the spanish only went and only went

00:37:33.700 to africa in search for better life it's amazing how quickly the leftists become ethno-nationalist

00:37:38.060 when it comes to about africa in the middle east what a bigot yeah uh anyway we'll we'll have to

00:37:42.760 carry on because that went on a little bit long yeah it's such a huge story yeah yeah it's massive

00:37:47.360 yeah mine won't be too long should we plug islander first or do we do it after huh well it's up to you

00:37:51.980 well get islander six everyone it's got carl's essay in there great and many other things and

00:37:57.140 a very nice cover dominic's new to it but he's learning today limited edition dominic these

00:38:01.920 will be worth a lot you're an investor buy these now you sell them on ebay a bit later ironically

00:38:07.560 like we sell it for 15 pounds if you go on ebay and try to find the first edition it's like 200

00:38:13.060 quid brilliant yeah i know it's a good markup you don't uh you don't want to sign them unsigned

00:38:18.280 copies preserve their value better yeah i i did sign a bunch of them and they went on ebay and

00:38:21.980 they total dry i was like okay curse um i didn't learn that until after that is working okay well

00:38:29.380 that's island the six so i'll just do my little segment then i didn't know the invasion was

00:38:32.600 going to happen today but i thought let's have some good news nobody did apparently the scale

00:38:36.580 it's not quite on the same scale but it's a little bit of good news because allison pearson

00:38:40.280 it's not a great has won um her case against the essex police and crime commissioner after suing

00:38:47.660 him for defamation uh so the case against essex police as a whole continues but she's won this

00:38:52.780 case and if anyone's forgotten i'll just read let's just watch this recap oh i went i didn't

00:38:58.280 me to do that how is it sorry guys this is harder than it looks people at home did november 2024

00:39:04.700 and uh i was getting ready on remembrance sunday to go to the war memorial there was a knock on

00:39:11.780 the door and it was two police officers uh saying they'd come to uh talk to me in relation to a

00:39:19.200 hate crime um which had been i think linked they weren't very clear but was linked to a

00:39:26.540 something I'd posted on social media uh 12 months earlier and uh Planet Normal listeners will know

00:39:35.300 this off by heart now I apologize for uh for repeating it but uh I said to them um what what

00:39:42.680 was the tweet that that they were visiting me about and they said we can't tell you that madam

00:39:46.880 uh and then I said um and so who is at least tell me who is my accuser and they said we can't tell

00:39:54.560 that either but they're not the accuser they're the victim uh just a reminder what that is mad

00:40:01.440 you don't hear about this it's a massive thing i haven't been following this at all this was a

00:40:04.160 while ago it was a remembrance sunday yeah she's like i'll tell you what tweet and we can't tell

00:40:07.680 you who the accuser is correct and they said no they're the victim obviously they're claiming that

00:40:12.320 yeah yeah that's what makes them the accuser i know because it's all subjective now it's all

00:40:16.200 well i felt offended yeah and they really picked a bad even it's not even about being offended

00:40:20.740 what it's about is the

00:40:23.060 basic pillars of the idea

00:40:25.800 of English justice is that

00:40:27.740 the person is innocent until proven

00:40:29.840 guilty and you get to face your

00:40:31.640 accuser because of course

00:40:33.720 anyone could hide behind the veil of anonymity

00:40:35.740 accuse you of a false crime

00:40:38.000 and never be held to account for it

00:40:40.040 which is exactly what happened

00:40:41.400 incredible isn't it

00:40:43.840 so that's just recapping the case

00:40:45.780 she still doesn't know who accused her

00:40:47.900 I don't think so

00:40:49.340 she certainly hasn't said

00:40:50.580 I bet there wasn't an accuser

00:40:51.860 I bet the police

00:40:52.380 found this themselves

00:40:53.380 I bet they were the ones

00:40:55.040 scrawling social media

00:40:56.160 they really put the wrong person

00:40:57.480 because obviously 1.00

00:40:57.920 she has one of the biggest 0.96

00:40:58.920 columns in the country

00:40:59.960 and knows Toby Young

00:41:01.260 and everyone

00:41:01.600 it's just like

00:41:02.140 but they're not even smart

00:41:03.140 the tyranny's not even smart 1.00

00:41:04.740 it's just dumb 1.00

00:41:05.440 it's just like 0.97

00:41:06.000 if they were going to be

00:41:07.040 smart about it

00:41:07.540 they wouldn't go after 0.83

00:41:08.100 someone like Alison

00:41:08.600 but it doesn't really 0.60

00:41:09.400 work like that

00:41:09.740 any journalist really

00:41:10.880 is probably a bad shout

00:41:12.060 yeah yeah

00:41:12.840 but I suppose 1.00

00:41:13.380 it's just idiocy 1.00

00:41:14.800 and tyranny 1.00

00:41:16.140 anyway

00:41:16.480 and she took quotes here from insiders who say that it's become a sort of uh a social justice

00:41:25.560 utopia i don't think that's the right one so let's just go back let's just give a bit of detailed

00:41:31.580 that can't be the background hang on a sec it's meant to be uh all right wrong time stamp i'll

00:41:36.680 see if i can find it um basically she was quoting insiders saying that it's all about social justice

00:41:42.660 rather than crime, see if they can find it.

00:41:44.120 Or any other thing people actually want their money spent on,

00:41:48.420 but really quite good at hate crime.

00:41:51.360 And I was contacted by various officers within Essex Police

00:41:56.280 who've become great mates, actually, Liam,

00:41:59.100 and they said that the police were obsessed with ushering

00:42:05.200 in a social justice utopia.

00:42:07.840 These are officers outraged by the conduct of their own police service.

00:42:13.600 Yes, they said you can't get on anymore unless you learn to parrot the mantras of diversity and inclusion

00:42:21.860 and that there are protected characteristics that they're obsessed with.

00:42:26.380 And white people like me, they don't feature.

00:42:31.700 So we all knew this, but interesting that insiders are telling of this.

00:42:35.300 unheard did a whole piece inside the dei sort of nightmare of the police um steven edgerton just

00:42:40.680 on a piece revealing how they were told to stand down for blm there was another piece from the

00:42:45.860 telegraph a couple last week which i covered the training is so insane the dei training they're

00:42:51.680 literally being told in northumbria police they're watching a thing with two witches

00:42:54.560 and they're saying you probably side with the beautiful witch but you should actually side

00:42:58.640 with the ugly witch that's a real training at that point i'm like if you don't just quit the

00:43:03.180 police i mean it's what if one of the witches is clearly guilty and it's not the yeah that's yeah

00:43:10.020 they're trying to sort of say oh you know don't have any assumptions about hierarchies yeah they're

00:43:13.920 trying to get rid of your own ancient yeah your ancient inherent biases which have been nature

00:43:19.040 it's like the police they're trying to get rid of nature by brainwashing the police and they just

00:43:24.780 went to every police or every police force but many of them and it's so much worse than you even 0.83

00:43:28.260 imagine like you think dei is ridiculous and it's like even worse than i even i imagined which is 0.97

00:43:33.040 completely right to point out this is this is against white people right these are rules against 0.99

00:43:36.920 white people hate crimes are not like evenly balanced it's non-white people against white 0.74

00:43:43.380 people and hate crime is protect them from you what's extraordinary is they they brainwash they 0.97

00:43:47.660 actually get you to write essays about it in the police like you know about your privilege and so

00:43:51.520 on and they're brainwashing you by making you just simple propaganda techniques and you're able you're

00:43:55.700 able to take people who were told their whole lives let's not judge people by race to get them

00:43:59.720 to judge people very explicitly by race,

00:44:02.400 particularly against their own race,

00:44:04.120 to the point where people are actually dying now

00:44:06.120 because of it, meaning Henry Nova.

00:44:07.880 Literally dying because of this propaganda.

00:44:10.100 So it's that bad, anyway.

00:44:11.320 And it's interesting they're telling Alison this.

00:44:13.880 And this is the defamation.

00:44:15.680 So the guy goes on LBC, this guy, Roger Hurst,

00:44:19.920 and he is the police and crime commissioner,

00:44:21.660 again, for Essex.

00:44:23.000 And he goes on and actually was talking about the case

00:44:25.340 before, while it was ongoing.

00:44:28.340 And we're all constantly told, don't comment on things, you know, don't speculate.

00:44:31.560 Unless, of course, it's Starmer wants to speculate about anti-Muslim hatred in the Edinburgh case or whatever.

00:44:36.200 They can always speculate. And so incredibly, they did it. So she talks about that here.

00:44:40.800 A certain police officer goes on the radio and says something that your lawyers told you was libelous.

00:44:51.020 Yes. So Roger Hurst is the police and crime commissioner.

00:44:54.780 Now, that is a democratically elected post. Roger Hurst stood for the Conservative Party and won.

00:45:02.040 And generally, the role of the police and crime commissioner is to be pretty impartial, to represent the public in matters with the police.

00:45:14.560 but Mr Hurst decided when I was under live criminal investigation to appear on LBC on the

00:45:23.720 Lewis Goodall show and to discuss my case and I was contacted by two friends who said that

00:45:35.580 there's a man on the radio saying that your crimes carry a prison sentence of up to seven years

00:45:43.120 which was pretty intimidating, Liam, I have to say.

00:45:47.760 And I believe deliberately, I believe it was no coincidence

00:45:55.480 that that felt intimidating.

00:45:58.960 Yeah, so he actually goes on, ongoing case,

00:46:03.180 he says, yeah, you get seven years for that.

00:46:04.860 And sort of implying that she's done it, you know,

00:46:07.360 it's completely speculative.

00:46:09.740 That's mad.

00:46:10.220 I mean, it just seems like a communist government has gained control of the country,

00:46:15.940 gained control of the institutions, like a communist organization.

00:46:19.140 Especially when he's meant to be a conservative, which I know we see all the time.

00:46:21.800 He's elected, he's a conservative.

00:46:23.520 You go on his Wikipedia, it's like says he's a conservative, he's elected.

00:46:26.460 That tells us everything we need to know about conservatives.

00:46:28.540 It does, sadly. 0.88

00:46:29.460 I know Kemi's trying to change. 0.95

00:46:30.620 All of this woke stuff happened under the conservatives anyway.

00:46:33.320 They were in power for 14 years before woke became a thing.

00:46:37.480 well it became like a massive public thing until 2011 when they got into power and nobody was

00:46:42.300 talking about woke woke wasn't really anywhere it was still an academic thing going through

00:46:46.100 universities everything woke in this country happened under the conservatives they're like

00:46:50.300 the suitor border police yeah they really are it is amazing i mean again cameron himself was

00:46:56.280 proto-woke because he was he was woke he was talking about the a-list and we had too many

00:47:00.620 white men pale stale and male yeah and so it's like he bought into all those principles yes

00:47:05.880 that's why he got that gig that's why he got the gig in the first place ahead of davies 0.99

00:47:09.960 yeah yeah it's disgusting i mean kemi's trying to fix it but you can see why people are not going

00:47:14.200 for it um and this is what's shocking about this oh you know let's watch the actual let's have some

00:47:19.740 good news and watch the actual police apology that he had to issue in the end this roger hearse

00:47:23.400 so this is what we got from the police and crime commission obviously the case has been going back

00:47:29.040 and forward i wish to apologize to alison pierce the daily telegraph journalist for accusations i

00:47:33.580 made about her in an interview I gave to Lewis Goodall of LBC on the 17th of November 2024 and

00:47:40.080 in an article I wrote for Conservative Home, which I later published on my own website.

00:47:45.000 I intended to address wider issues about hate crimes and policing rather than to make accusations

00:47:51.160 against her personally, but I accept, as the High Court has found, that I did accuse her personally.

00:47:57.340 I should not have made these allegations against her. I'm very sorry for the damage in her I've

00:48:02.240 cause to her and i've agreed to pay her substantial damages and costs in recognition of that so

00:48:10.100 i mean imagine how much are the damages they say five figures and then they go into who's

00:48:16.240 actually paying it will it be probably like you and me won't it that's what annoys me so much

00:48:20.240 that's the thing but it's not even a large amount of money like five figures that's not that much

00:48:24.500 that's 10 grand 20 grand could be more yeah but if it goes into five figures you assume it's low

00:48:28.980 tens of thousands yeah exactly yeah yes but nice to get a win for once i mean and it's caused a lot

00:48:34.940 of stress faster but she did it because she thought it was you know the principle worth

00:48:38.000 standing up for not everyone can do it not everyone has the telegraph was the tweet in the

00:48:41.260 free speech union so the tweet was something she believes it was something to do with her

00:48:44.920 criticism of the police for allowing she said basically jew haters she was talking about the

00:48:50.960 palestine marches right and she was so she was actually criticizing the police yeah and attacking

00:48:56.400 So obviously, presumably, one imagines someone from the marches

00:49:00.060 or sympathetic to that side has reported it.

00:49:02.540 But it's actually, it was strange, and she thinks it's vindicated

00:49:05.020 because she says, well, it's a criticism of these marches,

00:49:07.200 which did get out of hand.

00:49:08.380 So, yeah, I think this next one's just about him,

00:49:10.700 supposed to be a conservative.

00:49:11.620 Maybe I'll just check.

00:49:12.840 Maybe it's worth watching.

00:49:14.800 But this police and crime commissioner,

00:49:18.040 supposedly a conservative, I would say he did not act

00:49:21.300 in a conservative way.

00:49:23.200 Nonsense.

00:49:23.640 And appear on a national radio station.

00:49:26.400 and to say her crimes carry a prison sentence of up to seven years.

00:49:33.240 And then to follow that up with an article that he then posted,

00:49:36.740 you know, on a prominent political website,

00:49:39.520 just to make sure you've got the message.

00:49:41.660 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:42.640 So as journalists, we know, Liam,

00:49:45.460 the very first lesson is you put the word alleged as frequently as possible,

00:49:52.100 don't you, you and I?

00:49:53.780 That's pretty amazing.

00:49:54.620 So he's meant to be conservative.

00:49:55.700 He's meant to be the police commissioner.

00:49:56.880 He goes on LBC with Lewis Goodall and other leftists

00:49:59.700 saying, implying that she's guilty.

00:50:02.620 And writes an article, a conservative home.

00:50:04.300 You're like, this is a telegraph journalist.

00:50:06.000 He's done a tweet.

00:50:07.300 Why is she shocked about this?

00:50:09.140 This is what the Conservatives are

00:50:10.700 and have been for decades now.

00:50:12.580 I think Alison's not shocked because she's been covering... 0.74

00:50:14.500 They literally have an African woman 1.00

00:50:15.700 in charge of their party. 1.00

00:50:16.980 She's been covering this stuff for a long time.

00:50:19.160 They're woke.

00:50:20.780 Well, yeah, she's been covering the wokeness

00:50:23.340 and all this for a long time.

00:50:24.320 But when it happens to you, I think it's just stressful when you're...

00:50:27.820 Yeah, but it's her thing, oh, allegedly a Conservative.

00:50:29.840 This is completely normal for the Conservatives. 0.91

00:50:32.260 She's saying you have to put allegedly in front of something.

00:50:34.460 No, no, no, I know, I know, but she also said,

00:50:36.040 oh, he was, you know, supposedly a Conservative.

00:50:37.920 Oh, right, right, right.

00:50:38.600 Yeah, yeah, but Conservatives...

00:50:39.220 But it's still absurd, isn't it?

00:50:40.460 Yeah, it's completely absurd.

00:50:41.500 You know it's normal now, but it's still worth saying.

00:50:43.060 But this is the problem with the Conservatives.

00:50:44.740 Oh, yes, we've got a right-wing skin suit,

00:50:47.440 but underneath we do everything woke.

00:50:49.180 And the reason that woke exists in this country

00:50:51.020 is because of the Conservative government.

00:50:52.720 and says i can't believe this conservative is doing this woke stuff to me about the hate crime

00:50:56.200 laws yeah because that's what conservatives do yeah i think more generously they're saying

00:51:00.960 it's absurd we know they're like that now and they have been like that i think she's still

00:51:05.880 in denial i i uh i like the fact that he was it he was uh in a position that required him to be

00:51:13.340 both conservative and competent and he was neither conservative nor competent yeah and just to give

00:51:20.560 you an idea just about the anarcho-tyranny in the same week they didn't go to the house of a 15 year

00:51:25.560 old boy. Anarcho-tyranny? Yeah. Why anarcho? I'm going to say in the next clip because it's about

00:51:30.920 avoiding... He loves his anarcho-tyranny. I always say anarcho-tyranny, I have to say it once per show

00:51:34.820 but we know anarcho-tyranny is about the persecution of innocent people combined with the ignoring of

00:51:41.040 actual crime, that's the anarcho part so this is what you'll see in the next clip. I'm pro-anarcho

00:51:46.500 but not in the way you use the word. No anarcho-tyranny is something completely different, it's

00:51:49.880 persecuting the innocent okay for nothing while ignoring you know how labor released actual

00:51:54.460 prisoners and they were popping champagne bottles meanwhile they're at your house for a tweet that

00:51:58.780 is textbook anarcho attorney so i'll show you what i mean other crime and just to finish in the week

00:52:03.540 the police came to my door a listener told me that his nephew who lives not very far from us

00:52:10.720 was held up at knife point 15 year old boy on the way back from school held up at knife point by two

00:52:18.300 men who took his wallet and his phone the boy was incredibly distressed he managed to find a phone

00:52:25.460 he called the police and Essex police and they told him that it was no longer a live incident

00:52:31.800 so he could dial some you know 111 number or something they didn't go out to a teenage boy

00:52:40.920 who had just been held up by potentially violent criminals,

00:52:47.100 but they could spare the time to come to my home.

00:52:52.100 There you go.

00:52:52.800 You just get a simple idea.

00:52:54.120 Classic and archetypal.

00:52:54.960 Same police force, same week.

00:52:56.580 15-year-old boy held at knife point, nothing.

00:52:59.120 Esteemed telegraph journalist. 0.66

00:53:02.040 We have to go to her house and intimidate her. 0.96

00:53:04.080 So there you go.

00:53:04.940 And she just goes into how it happened.

00:53:06.660 and she she uh had a go at them saying it was it was memorial day and people fought for freedoms

00:53:12.720 that you're sort of stamping all over and it was extraordinary bit where in the video apparently

00:53:16.840 one cop is talking to the other one outside her house and they say it's like they try and describe

00:53:23.280 what what what she's actually done they say it's like racism but it's but not really

00:53:29.600 can't seem to find it that that's the wrong one actually i've heard it i've heard her say that

00:53:35.400 yeah incredible that's actually not the right article maybe i put them i think she's still not

00:53:40.080 clear what the actual offending tweet was but i think it was her use of that she thinks it was

00:53:44.980 her saying jew hate she guesses that yeah yeah so she she shouted about that and they said so

00:53:50.700 she said they had no answer to the concept that what would the soldiers who sacrificed everything

00:53:55.140 think to you coming here today and then in the video before knocking on my door one officer said

00:53:59.620 daily telegraph journalist it's and he explained to his colleague it's sort of like racism but not

00:54:04.080 really racism so he was trying to explain what she was guilty of and he he didn't even really

00:54:08.540 know and she says she doesn't blame them and um but i do blame them she's like their colleagues

00:54:14.420 across the uk they've been inducted into dei the dei cult which teaches the police to treat

00:54:19.120 allegations of racism as seriously sometimes more seriously than murder and i'm at the point where i

00:54:23.480 do blame them because they're just doing my job when you're getting trained about witches and

00:54:27.100 henry novak's dying i'm just like i'm not accepting obviously the people behind it are the true

00:54:31.600 fanatics and nutcases and the new sort of uh the new quacks the new eugenicists and yeah and a

00:54:38.200 phenologist with the dei sort of quackery but but i don't forgive the individual officers either

00:54:43.420 so yeah i mean i'm sorry can i just i just want to really hammer this point right it is the

00:54:48.340 conservatives that are woke right this all of this begins in the public order act of 1986

00:54:54.500 i just looked it up right part three is stirring up racial hatred section 17 to 29 right that's

00:55:00.120 margaret thatcher that's where this comes from and in 1997 tony blair and his labor expanded this

00:55:06.000 to cover other things and then in 2020 they expanded it again again the conservatives

00:55:11.460 so it's like i i'm not angry at you i'm angry at her like i can't believe the so-called

00:55:16.540 conservative that's what conservatives do that's what they do you have fallen foul of conservative

00:55:21.760 laws well i think allison probably falls in the camp of people who like what kemi's doing in her

00:55:25.960 attempt to change the party well she's bloody woke too certainly it's been terrible you can

00:55:29.780 it even goes back to 1968 i think race relations act but yeah i don't know what the 86 started in

00:55:35.160 1914 well the the public order act um creates offenses of stirring up religious hatred or

00:55:42.440 racial hatred right and the 2020 sentencing act uh applies where any criminal offense is

00:55:49.560 aggravated by hostility based on race religion blah blah blah right so the conservatives are

00:55:54.180 just as guilty as labor for putting all of these laws oh yeah so being like oh he was a conservative

00:55:58.580 i can't believe he was getting me for being you know some woke tweet yeah that's exactly what

00:56:02.820 conservatives do exactly i think she knows but she's just pointing out the irony well i disagree

00:56:07.660 i think she's got in her mind this sort of like oh conservatives are like the stuffy old

00:56:11.980 men who do things like against the left no they are facilitators of the left i think have been

00:56:18.060 for many i disagree i think she because i listen to a lot i think she's aware of that but she's

00:56:20.800 just still pointing out look how absurd it is that it is a conservative which is still absurd

00:56:24.340 it's not even given that it's completely normal it's normal in the pete hitch in the sense that

00:56:28.800 they've never been having a conservative for a long time yeah but it's still because it is in

00:56:32.380 in the name it still remains somewhat absurd i'm looking at the skin suit and i'm still baffled

00:56:37.880 yeah that they're doing all this work i think it amounts to the same point but we but anyway

00:56:43.960 what's going to add one more thing she adds uh in her article on it she took she says um

00:56:50.260 so they spoke to where you know these Essex police on the sort of uh anonymously and they said one of

00:56:58.000 them said what you have to understand Allison my senior contact in Essex police said is they want

00:57:01.660 you to be afraid of speaking out which I thought was just the the key so we know that of course

00:57:05.980 they want to intimidate people use people like us and intimidate the rest of us one thing it is

00:57:11.220 obviously those orders like 1986 it's that combined with Twitter isn't it it's the new 0.99

00:57:15.500 technology they're going okay right we've got these stupid laws and stupid rules and now we've 0.99

00:57:19.300 got millions of people tweeting how are we going to oppress them all and they just try and do their 0.99

00:57:23.240 best to catch them all but it's completely unworkable yeah and and you can always find a

00:57:28.660 day where they've ignored that tweet punish this tweet completely arbitrarily anyway there you go

00:57:33.680 i thought it was just a tiny bit of good news but it's made you angry anyway it's made me angry

00:57:39.040 because i don't want the conservatives getting for the hook here right in 2014 the college of

00:57:43.280 policing's hate crime operational guidance formalized and standardized non-crime hate incidents

00:57:49.140 right yeah that's under the conservative she's they create she says in the same uh piece that

00:57:55.400 she says i'm a telegraph columnist i didn't think i'd end up suing the police because she's she's

00:57:59.800 making a people's faces party she's saying that it's you're a conservative you voted for this

00:58:04.940 allison sorry i'm not letting it go no because i think i just think it's i don't think it's

00:58:09.660 different to a point i me or you might make i think she's fully aware of what the conservatives

00:58:14.420 have become she probably does like kemi in the what since 1986 yeah i think you can make the

00:58:20.920 point and say it's absurd that's a conservative i still think it's absurd that the police guy

00:58:25.020 is a conservative even though i know what conservatives have become yeah can't those

00:58:29.220 two coexist those two thoughts i don't know maybe i mean you say they can't i say they can't the last

00:58:34.940 good conservative probably in like you know 1830 well like who knows but like they did well the

00:58:43.320 Well, if you want to be really fair, you've got Kemi, you've got Nick Timothy, you've got Katie Lamb, and a few others who are maybe okay.

00:58:49.020 And they did put Rupert Lowe on the Public Accounts Committee.

00:58:53.600 So you could argue there's a few who are trying to do better.

00:58:57.100 Maybe. You're a lot more generous to them.

00:58:58.640 I'm being very fair.

00:58:59.920 Well, obviously, they can't get over the fact that they were in, which is why no one trusts them.

00:59:02.920 That's why Kemi has a plus three approval rating, but the Conservatives are not trusted because they can't get over the 14 years or however long.

00:59:09.200 Yeah, well, it's 14 years.

00:59:10.340 But I'm saying, if you're saying you want to take it back to...

00:59:12.360 Well, I mean, yeah, basically everything woke has happened under the Conservatives.

00:59:18.380 The engaged few says, I propose an alternative punishment,

00:59:20.840 giving the victim an option of 20 lashes in a public space.

00:59:23.440 Yeah, I'm totally, are you a corporal punishment supporter?

00:59:26.960 I'm, uh...

00:59:28.560 You don't have to be.

00:59:29.280 No, I'm, I think a lot of medieval tortures were born out of a very sensible and practical philosophy,

00:59:37.880 and public humiliation as well as pain being part of it,

00:59:41.520 and i'm a big advocate i want to write some stand up about it i haven't gone public about this but

00:59:46.300 i suppose now is as good a time as any i think castration is an effective uh deterrent for the

00:59:52.800 modern age because it's a lot cheaper than prison uh you get rid of the testosterone which is perhaps

00:59:57.600 one of the major causes of of young men's getting up to no good it's a it's a huge deterrent and

01:00:03.940 it's cheap and so that's where i stand but uh we went further than both of us how do you feel

01:00:12.820 about this well that's so funny it's like different punishments for different needs i'm a stocks guy 0.54

01:00:16.800 he's about flogging i like flogging yeah yeah i'm part of the six percent who want to bring back

01:00:20.800 flogging but just take them out of the jail and castrate them if they want to come out early 0.91

01:00:25.180 fine you can have it off with your nuts and uh that's what about death penalty i'm a bit more 1.00

01:00:31.720 libertarian coming in well i will take your balls but you know i i i think broadly speaking for 0.99

01:00:37.340 certain crimes i am like you know radu kabani you know nuts off for a couple of weeks get used to 0.99

01:00:43.300 that then off with the head that's a new spin on it that's even i just say death penalty i'm the

01:00:50.080 moderate here but uh anyway let's uh let's move on shall we so uh i write an investment newsletter

01:00:57.000 and uh the the how long have i got just tell me i'm 20 minutes oh okay i won't go i won't go on

01:01:02.420 that long so this is just a an article i wrote this week and and i write an investment newsletter

01:01:08.100 and the point of the article i wrote in the investment newsletter was you know how can

01:01:11.940 one profit from this but that's not what i want to talk about today i want to talk about how this

01:01:16.740 is a symptom of the ongoing decline of britain and if you what i was a little boy in the 70s

01:01:25.500 and early 80s and you know you just need to watch like a a sitcom set in the 70s to see that

01:01:32.520 england britain was a pretty depressed place and you know no you know industrial decline mass

01:01:38.960 unemployment inflation all the rest of it and we just didn't have the commercialization of

01:01:43.460 everything that we have today so we just didn't have a stuff like we do today stuff was valuable

01:01:48.020 and nobody uh you know we were crying out for margaret thatcher and we got our margaret thatcher

01:01:54.420 but even so nobody could see you know quite where the growth was going to come from

01:01:59.100 and she went through this massive deregulation uh of the financial sector and um you know

01:02:07.340 encouraged risk-taking and and lightened on the the regulation the big bang and so on

01:02:12.180 and the city was was what gave britain the growth it needed admittedly it wasn't industrial growth

01:02:20.480 it was what they call financialization services it wasn't perfect but it was growth nonetheless

01:02:24.860 services as well and so that's when the point at which you saw the sort of the wealth all come to

01:02:31.520 london in a way that it didn't spread to the rest of the uk or only spread to the rest of the uk

01:02:36.220 uh um you know later and so the north got left behind and scotland this is what andy burnham

01:02:41.940 is currently reading yeah exactly exactly and so with that sort of um framing in mind i want to

01:02:49.880 talk about what's going on in the city at the moment and there's a sort of not particularly

01:02:54.420 funny joke but it was how do you make money investing in the uk own shares in a good company

01:02:59.660 and hope for an american to buy it and that's a joke but in the last couple of months um it's

01:03:08.200 it's not so much a joke the floodgates have really opened and so for in june we saw a u.s

01:03:15.560 ingredients giant called ingredient by tate and lyle old british brand 2.7 billion then in early

01:03:24.480 july um a company called castle lake was trying to buy easy jet another british company made five

01:03:31.620 approaches then another company came up apollo and um uh put in a bid that's been accepted

01:03:38.960 valuing easy jet 80 premium 80 it's not an insignificant amount of money then a few days

01:03:46.580 later reuters reported that watchers of switzerland another british company had had

01:03:50.400 takeover talks two days after that swiss engineering giant abb agrees to buy rotork

01:03:57.880 for 4 billion at a 75 premium um five days after that ocs and a private equity house an american

01:04:06.320 private equity house uh buys a another billion dollar a billion pound company mitty and then

01:04:12.920 the following day the u.s warehouse giant prologus uh makes a final bid for segro 14 billion 45

01:04:21.940 premium then ridgeview agrees to buy pinewood technologies and then the next day sirica uh

01:04:29.600 trumps a rival bidder to buy feros energy so can we i'm not an investor i'm not i don't just

01:04:36.140 when you say uh 80 premium or 45 premium what does that mean okay so if the share price is

01:04:41.400 trading at a pound that means the company is valued at however many shares it is times a pound

01:04:48.240 and and the the company comes in and says we'll buy you for one pound 80 oh right okay and so

01:04:53.400 you know it's it's a huge markup so you definitely want americans buying your company you certainly

01:04:57.980 they do and you know there's a feeding frenzy going on for uk companies and because they are

01:05:06.660 disproportionately cheap and we're going to come to why that is they have been massively undervalued

01:05:13.060 so there's a an equity research firm called edison you don't need to know what all those companies

01:05:18.160 i mentioned did by the way you just need to know that suddenly there's a bit like every other day

01:05:22.520 there's a new offer comes in there's been um 300 bids made for uk listed companies in the past

01:05:28.960 six years 300 bids that's a lot and for a long time british investors have been saying uk companies

01:05:35.880 are too cheap and the overseas buyers are now they're seeing the same thing and they're doing

01:05:41.220 something about it now and you don't pay 50 60 70 80 premiums unless what you're buying you know you

01:05:51.760 still think it's cheap at an 80 premium i mean you expect it to be profitable right yeah they'll

01:05:57.540 all be profitable and and you know a lot of these the uk is very good at like kind of niche

01:06:03.000 industrial companies that make some you know victrex for example is a company that i think

01:06:08.360 might get buy get bought and it's ludicrously cheap and it makes this plastic called peak

01:06:13.260 that you can use instead of metal because it's lighter and it's harder so the airlines industry

01:06:17.960 likes it it's very good in metal parts but you've never heard of peak no peak plastic you know and

01:06:23.400 so we you know we have lots of these kind of you know niche industrial companies is it also the

01:06:30.480 case they have low debt because william cluson told me we have really low debt in the private

01:06:35.360 area and domestically amongst families and things it's only the government that's massively in debt

01:06:39.340 yeah yeah that's also that's a factor as well but that's all part of the valuation how much

01:06:43.200 debtor company has but yeah family companies tend to be more cautious than than the government is

01:06:47.980 and we don't have any debt you know to build a company like peak it takes a long time to develop

01:06:53.260 the the um uh the the underlying technology the plastic or whatever it is to know how to get

01:07:00.680 around all the regulation to build up the relationships with multiple companies around

01:07:04.360 the world and so another company that's in a similar space can go well it's going to take

01:07:08.460 us 20 years to get where this or we can just buy this company and and it's a really useful addition

01:07:13.180 to what we're doing and particularly if the company you're buying is is is cheap relative

01:07:20.480 to what you do it's just it's just a natural business acquisition and the british normally

01:07:26.100 the british would buy but for decades uh uk pension funds were owners of british shares

01:07:31.700 in the early noughties they would allocate maybe 50 of their capital to british companies now it's

01:07:37.700 just 5 from 50 of pension fund capital to 5 why is that because of this thing called passive

01:07:44.880 investing partly that a lot of them are buying bonds but passive investing would be so instead

01:07:50.520 of buying you know apple uh google and enron or i'm just picking three companies at random

01:07:58.820 you would just buy um what's called an etf in the s&p 500 which is the american stock market

01:08:05.500 and so you would just get exposure to the whole stock market and then the money you spend on the

01:08:10.520 etf filters down to the various companies within it and it saves you having to be a clever company

01:08:16.500 picker you just i want to be long america and this has changed the nature of investing over the last

01:08:21.820 15 years okay because people like warren buffett just advise everyone just use vanguard get in the

01:08:26.900 smp 500 leave it there you'll get five percent you'll you'll beat the market if you don't know

01:08:30.980 what you're doing and and it beats passive investing beats most stock pickers that's just

01:08:36.620 the the reality of it um so but because britain is tiny relative to the rest of the world for

01:08:43.980 all the billions of pounds that flow into these this passive investing a tiny amount actually

01:08:48.860 makes it back to britain and british companies which means british companies are even more

01:08:52.720 undervalued um but britain's companies many of them earn their money overseas um so they're

01:08:59.120 global businesses with a london listing they're valued at discounts to their peers it's obvious

01:09:03.720 that they get bought um here's the worrying thing so i i framed this argument at the beginning

01:09:11.680 that it was the stock market that got britain out of the hole in which it found itself in the

01:09:17.620 70s and 80s the financialization of everything in 1996 there were 932 companies listed on the

01:09:26.820 footsie all share index 932 today there are 536 so it's just it's the number has fallen and some

01:09:37.360 companies go bust some have merged with other companies some have moved their primary listing

01:09:42.460 elsewhere that's another problem but you you used to back in the day um you know companies would

01:09:48.940 list in the in london it would be a big event and everyone would get excited to the news it just

01:09:53.300 doesn't happen anymore you don't see big london listings and it's the real decline accelerated

01:09:57.780 after 2008 and i'm sorry it's the blob's fault excess regulation that followed the financial

01:10:03.500 crisis has just made the city uncompetitive but and then you have so you have a smaller market

01:10:11.980 that affects fewer investors fewer investors means less liquidity lower valuations more takeover

01:10:17.400 opportunities which leads to fewer companies it's a self-reinforcing and vicious cycle it's a doom

01:10:22.080 loop it's a doom loop yeah and so it also means that that even with andy burnham's you know great

01:10:29.360 money to the north and all of that london's in decline anyway so it doesn't need to have

01:10:35.840 you know the the cumbrous hands of the state the cumbersome hands of the state making it even worse

01:10:40.880 than otherwise would have been but um you know and i wrote a piece which companies are going to be

01:10:46.700 taken out next and i ask a whatsapp chat group that i'm on um you know who's going to be next

01:10:51.400 for ideas and the reply came from a noted newsletter writer who's also a mate at this

01:10:57.280 stage it's easier to list the uk companies that will not be sold to foreign overlords so

01:11:03.960 you're just you it's it's further weakening of of the uk and it's all part of you know where

01:11:13.960 is the growth that we need going to come from well it's not going to come from the city and

01:11:19.960 it's not going to come uh from the financial markets you know you think of you know london's

01:11:24.800 where stock markets started the south sea and all of that and it's really really sad and it kind of

01:11:29.600 had its revival but that revival is dead and it's getting worse and worse you don't think

01:11:34.220 andy burnham's going to re-industrialize the country no i'm joking i know you can't of course

01:11:39.020 not you we we the the cost of regulation is so high and so burdensome you just have to find

01:11:45.860 businesses that are that that are not regulated and it's very hard to do regulation is killing us

01:11:50.620 i'm afraid and taxation and all the other energy costs as well bp today announced that it's

01:11:56.180 withdrawing from the north sea it's a huge development bp british petroleum coming out

01:12:01.280 the north sea it's like are you insane so um and it it's it's i mean but i'm afraid it's where we

01:12:06.940 are and and we're we're we're making ourselves uncompetitive and so i guess the whole point

01:12:12.700 of the story is it's just yet another illustration of you know the terminal decline of britain

01:12:18.380 so luckily the chemi who carl loves has said um she will reduce energy costs and reduce regulation

01:12:25.620 and get business going again but do you think anyone actually will or can do any of that i

01:12:30.260 believe that if if it kind of almost doesn't matter if it's nigel or chemi or rupert if one

01:12:35.840 of them could get to power they all they're all on pretty much the same page about regulation and

01:12:40.200 you know they they want um you know thatcher used to love her entrepreneurs what did the

01:12:45.400 buccaneers they were that special yeah he's a buccaneer you know and you know those kind of

01:12:50.500 dairy racing alpha males of the 80s you know jim slater and people like that we need those kind of

01:12:56.220 people and and and uh well it depends what you're trying to achieve you know if you're trying to

01:13:00.720 achieve communism those people are a problem well they're all going to america my son is is 25 now

01:13:06.980 he's doing incredibly well in his job and he's just he just comes home and he can't believe how

01:13:11.940 much tax he's paying and he can't even use don't start carl yeah yeah don't get me sorry okay it's

01:13:17.100 all right and he's all right i just hate the government so much well me not as much as i do

01:13:21.400 but i don't know man he's just been off tax he's been offered a job in america and he's going and 0.97

01:13:25.700 i can't blame him uh he'll earn he'll earn twice as much and he'll have half as much shit yeah and 0.94

01:13:30.880 we famously now we're poorer than mississippi as dougas carlswell likes to point out because he's 0.97

01:13:34.640 now in mississippi we're poorer than the poorest state in america yeah it's terrible wages the

01:13:38.440 wages disparity is the most shocking thing unbelievable people don't realize how little

01:13:42.340 people in britain get paid i know and my son actually works british people so he sees he

01:13:47.240 he profits he he's in the recruitment industry which is one of the few sectors of the economy

01:13:52.180 that's booming but the only reason it's booming is because of the arbitrage play because everyone's

01:13:56.060 doing all their recruitment in the u.s and but getting paid u.s commissions being based in

01:14:00.540 england that's why recruitment be like an executive here and it's equivalent to sort of working in

01:14:03.880 starbucks yeah yeah once you get your tips you're about to say oh ironically insane so we you know

01:14:09.720 we we we're a country that's being strangled to death by our own government yeah that's what's

01:14:14.320 animal drill baby drill he's talking about doing people are leaving they're like they they don't

01:14:19.640 um they think like you'd listen to ursula vanderleyan and she's talking about turning

01:14:23.960 europe into the a high up and we're just going to invest this amount they don't understand that

01:14:28.860 that business cannot good business does not come from government uh uh investment you just need to

01:14:36.260 stop taxing people and let people invest their own money and the growth will happen it really

01:14:40.320 isn't rocket science and they don't understand that ai needs a huge amount of energy only blair

01:14:44.060 understood that with his little essay he had to step in and go guys can we get rid of this miller 0.89

01:14:48.000 banger and get so he didn't say it explicitly but he was like this guy it was it was a broad

01:14:51.460 signing he said miller well there's got to be careful what he what he says because he's going

01:14:55.880 to be deemed far right before long.

01:14:57.920 He sounded just totally on the right end.

01:14:59.500 He sounded a lot like Rupert Lohr.

01:15:01.300 He sounded a lot like Rupert Lohr.

01:15:03.460 He was like, get out of EU because they've got too many regulations.

01:15:05.980 Get our energy cheaper.

01:15:07.240 Become an AI leader, which we could be.

01:15:09.340 It's all about not having faith in the people beneath you, right?

01:15:13.160 Yeah.

01:15:13.940 And this is all what the EU, all of these regulations are like,

01:15:16.540 oh no, something bad might happen.

01:15:18.220 It's like, yeah, but we live in the world.

01:15:19.340 Something bad may happen.

01:15:21.140 But maybe if you just let us get on with things,

01:15:23.540 something good could happen too.

01:15:24.900 well yeah labour's absurd employment bill those rights and it's endless rights which stop you

01:15:29.800 getting employed in the first place but burnham's saying he'll do more in the north sea but he won't

01:15:33.800 as my understanding is he'll see out the current contracts but not drill new holes yeah exactly

01:15:38.420 it's it's lip service and you know there are probably viewers who know more about this one

01:15:46.060 of the things that needs to happen in the north sea is the the border if you like perhaps not the

01:15:50.860 right word with norway and which resources and who got what was is flawed in the first place and

01:15:56.260 that needs renegotiating and and stealing norway's assets should be ours and in any case they're

01:16:02.240 they're um exploiting them while we're not trump's always saying we're buying back our own north we

01:16:07.500 are from norway more expensive yeah we are that's why they're putting money into the norway uh 0.97

01:16:12.140 strategic fund or whatever they call it just it's just so retarded at every level and there is no 0.95

01:16:19.720 necessary at all i know there is just there is no way a free market would let you know people 0.93

01:16:25.540 always go when you you you want a free market what's your plan and i make money there isn't

01:16:30.940 a plan that's the point there is a 50 million plans because there's 50 everyone's got their

01:16:36.200 own plan and the aggregation of all those plans results in a better outcome i bought a pineapple

01:16:41.200 the other day in in in my local cop and it cost me one pound 25 and just i thought how can a

01:16:47.240 pineapple cost one pound 25 so just a really good one it wasn't even it was a really cheap one it's

01:16:53.860 a golden one it was a costa rican pineapple isn't that really cheap for a piece of fruit that's

01:16:58.380 come from the other side of the world exactly that's not a good one there's a quap one right

01:17:01.920 no it was a good one cost seven pounds no no no it was a perfect it was i never buy pineapples

01:17:06.380 so i'm clearly off it's like that thatcher test was like how much is a pint of milk how much is

01:17:09.840 a pineapple well one pound 25 but i so i did some research into pineapples and i learned that you

01:17:14.900 have to plant pineapples in the rainy season they take two years to grow bloody you need all sorts

01:17:20.780 of curating irrigating pest control all of this then once they're grown um harvesting pineapples

01:17:27.100 is a hell of a job machete work you can't get machines to do it you've got to do it's got to

01:17:30.980 be done by hand then you've got to truck them to the ports then they've got to be chilled to the

01:17:34.460 right temperature you see those incredible cargo ships that take them all around the world then

01:17:38.880 they've got to be taken off the ships in wherever it is thorac or the hague or whatever then they've

01:17:42.960 got to go these are the same sprees these are the co-ops these are the things they've all got to be

01:17:46.420 sent to all the depots then from the depots they've got to be sent to um the thing uh to the

01:17:51.380 shop then they've got to be stacked on the shelf and then you've got to decide if you're going to

01:17:54.200 buy it or not and there's always the risk that you don't buy it somebody doesn't buy it at the

01:17:57.220 end of it and all of that and i get a pineapple for one pound 25 and at every step along the way

01:18:04.520 somebody made money every it was it's crazy actually you put it like it is it's the miracle

01:18:12.300 of markets and it's adam smith's invisible hand no now you're telling me somebody could plan that

01:18:17.140 if we had a minister for pineapple you're saying the soviet pineapple would be 20 quid of course

01:18:21.200 it would we wouldn't get pineapple we wouldn't get them you'd be lucky to get a cabbage from a

01:18:27.500 field across the road yeah but all the farmer knows is he's got to grow them all the trucker

01:18:31.180 knows he's got to get them from the truck to the port all the port you know all these steps

01:18:34.360 and and it's the you know it's the invisible hand guiding everything which is profit and and and

01:18:39.880 that is the regulator yes and and you know if you don't have good practice you go bust and and you

01:18:46.840 don't need regulation all of the incentives line up to make it want to work for everyone involved

01:18:52.460 that's the thing like the guy yeah why would i why would i uh have a bad practice because then i will

01:18:58.320 lose my money i will lose my livelihood the next guy oh why would i do something wrong because then

01:19:03.040 i would lose my livelihood and so you've got the system that is just a system of incentives

01:19:06.960 that naturally makes people want to line up in this way

01:19:10.120 to mean that, you know, somewhere in...

01:19:11.980 I mean, where are pineapples even grown for Christ?

01:19:13.960 Costa Rica.

01:19:14.700 It's like as specific as that.

01:19:16.040 It's not even like Brazil or Jamaica or something.

01:19:18.260 It's Costa Rica.

01:19:19.320 From there to like Sainsbury's and like Swindon,

01:19:22.400 or Asda and Swindon,

01:19:23.360 where I got a pineapple the other week.

01:19:24.960 I can't remember how many of those costs off the top of my head,

01:19:26.720 but I guess it was somewhere.

01:19:27.360 It would have been £1.50.

01:19:28.720 Yeah, it would have been £1.25.

01:19:30.320 And here's the amazing thing,

01:19:32.680 is if you go to an...

01:19:34.020 Like, if you look at the Wimbledon Trophy,

01:19:35.600 yeah at the top of the wimbledon trophy there's a finial of a pineapple yeah they used to be

01:19:40.160 aristocratic yes and you go to country houses and they'll have like little little pineapple

01:19:46.280 mounds because they were they were so expensive they were a status symbol a bit like a rolls

01:19:51.400 royce or a whatever a gold chain or something would be your pineapple and now literally everyone

01:19:56.840 anyone can buy a pineapple who's got one pound 25 i just find it incredible and it really is the

01:20:02.780 miracle of capitalism i think is as well i just hate watching a country strangle itself to death

01:20:07.720 like it's not like we we don't lack manpower we don't like talent we don't like intelligent people

01:20:12.880 who get up and work every day what we what we lack is the ability to vote for something that's

01:20:17.900 not communism well the public sector is so massive and it basically votes for itself and

01:20:23.060 wants to keep itself in in jobs as far as i can see sorry yeah i mean the we either i used to

01:20:29.460 just we either need to become the 51st state or the pound needs to collapse and because when the

01:20:34.340 pound collapses and everything goes tits up then at least you can purge the whole thing but until 0.64

01:20:39.300 one of those two things happens i'm afraid we're stuck god damn it that's good news 0.89

01:20:45.160 right he didn't even like the good news yeah i know william yeah yeah no i didn't because it 0.88

01:20:51.460 was all the concern oh i can't believe the conservative laws have caused me to give a

01:20:55.900 conservatives get in trouble with the conservative crime commissioner over something the conservatives 0.97

01:21:00.340 outlawed like allison is there is you're all you're all your own bloody worst enemy anyway

01:21:07.340 i've given up i still don't think she's really saying that but i've given up yeah i know i know 0.92

01:21:12.520 i think you're being you're misrepresenting her a bit but and um and and often you need to

01:21:19.340 you need to live it to really believe it that is true yeah when i say live it you experience it

01:21:26.420 yeah until you go through you don't realize like everyone goes cancel cancel is not a thing i mean

01:21:30.500 i've been canceled so many times clubs and all the rest of it i know what a nightmare it is

01:21:34.820 and i just keep my mouth shut when it happens because i don't want to make a song and dance

01:21:38.160 about it but but it's a nightmare excuse my language yeah there are loads of people in the

01:21:44.520 comments pointing out that this thing with spain like what did the spanish think they were voting

01:21:49.900 for when they voted for sanchez like he was explicit about his pro-migrant position that

01:21:55.840 was going to naturalize hundreds of thousands of migrants it was all all for a million natural

01:21:59.360 it was half a million yeah yeah it's a big it's a big dose of reality the last thing will it wake

01:22:03.020 up your sort of archetypal lib who thinks they want this well i mean maybe probably not though

01:22:09.140 the the question is will it wake up voters has voting to the left ever made your life better

01:22:14.500 that's the answer that's the question you've got to ask and i yeah people say it's liberal

01:22:19.460 white women i wonder if they'll even be relevant if it really kicks off it might be less relevant 1.00

01:22:23.140 what they think anyway depending on the level of violence but even they might might not that 1.00

01:22:27.720 woman in the video but some might change their mind when they see so my daughter-in-law was

01:22:31.840 pretty lefty you know girl and she she was with my um son who's fairly apolitical but he's you

01:22:42.020 know he listens to podcasts so he's been a little bit radicalized and um but what turned her to the

01:22:49.500 right was having to pay tax that she you know she left university she's worked really hard all her

01:22:56.160 left-wing friends are telling her how privileged she is and she's working really hard and she just

01:23:00.380 sees the money sucked out from her that's why you shouldn't be able to vote till you're 30 because

01:23:04.760 you know you don't know anything i don't think it's an age thing i think you should have paid

01:23:07.720 taxpayers i'm totally with you on this if you're not a net taxpayer you haven't been next taxpayer

01:23:12.740 for like five years you don't get to vote i don't want your input in the government you know you

01:23:16.980 don't have a stake in society you're just a dependent do you know the george monochore quote

01:23:21.320 no it's great quote a government voting to rob peter to pay paul can pretty much count on the

01:23:27.960 support of paul well yeah definitely yeah but it's so insufferable though like if you work for the

01:23:33.980 government you shouldn't have a vote but if you work for the nhs sorry i don't think you should

01:23:37.940 be voting like you're just going to vote for a bigger nhs it's just the only the only thing you

01:23:42.560 will ever vote for is your own interests and if your own interest is strangling the country

01:23:47.240 we can't go on like this forever right i mean i'm not being unreasonable here am i well i said men

01:23:51.640 over 30 with property but i'm prepared to add this but that kind of assumes net taxpayer right

01:23:55.860 it used to be only landowners yeah yeah yeah in the good old days intrinsic pursuit points out

01:24:02.340 that it's worth noting that in recent weeks uh we removed the border between spain and gibraltar

01:24:06.540 i think that was under starma wasn't it we removed the border between spain and gibraltar so wasn't

01:24:10.940 that just recent it was a couple of weeks ago yeah which which you know you talked about the

01:24:17.180 the moroccan thing being planned was this planned in advance of that did they have intelligence

01:24:21.700 about that i don't know you know that's the thing i'm not i'm not conspiracy theorists will say

01:24:25.780 they knew yeah i'm not a big conspiracy theory guy but there's no way this is just organic

01:24:30.000 movements of people there's clearly some planning going on the gibraltar thing i think the gibraltar

01:24:35.220 thing was just star i mean it's a nightmare if you're in gibraltar and you cross over to spain 0.60

01:24:40.260 every day you have to do it all the time and it's such a pain in the ass but i'm i just i just think

01:24:44.100 that everything about the current ruling class is designed to immiserate britain as much as possible 0.97

01:24:51.040 as a kind of historical penance for being so successful they and this is the thing they think

01:24:56.780 the right are the problem yes they don't see that it's the only thing that can save us they think

01:25:03.320 the right is the problem they think they think brexit is the problem you don't understand brexit

01:25:08.220 was the symptom it's not the problem and in any case you didn't handle it properly because it was

01:25:13.580 a bunch of remainers in charge and that's the thing as well like yeah yeah literally okay after

01:25:18.040 brexit anything could be possible like we should just abolish corporation tax just abolish it

01:25:22.960 regulation instead of we could have had zero regulation and then only have the regulations

01:25:28.060 we need as and when the problem arose instead they just imported every single eu regulation

01:25:33.200 and then built more regulation on top of that what we wanted it's insufferable isn't it is

01:25:39.220 it's hard it doesn't take a genius to know how this how we could have been a growing country

01:25:45.080 you know it doesn't take a genius um omar said as prosecuted for an unknown crime on behalf of

01:25:50.480 an unknown accuser by an unaccountable authority god we live under a reddit modocracy uh basically

01:25:56.180 yeah i mean this is this it genuinely is this is insufferable member don says going out and saying

01:26:04.080 they have committed a crime the way the commissioner did is what starmer did when he called the

01:26:08.060 protesters criminals who will be prosecuted to the fullest extent implying they'll be found guilty

01:26:12.680 regardless yeah which is why so many of them people who had never really had any interaction

01:26:16.860 with the court system

01:26:18.380 were advised by their state-appointed lawyer

01:26:21.660 just plead guilty.

01:26:23.480 Like, literally, the Lucy Connolly thing.

01:26:25.080 The ones who didn't did much better.

01:26:26.520 Yeah, they didn't go to jail.

01:26:27.940 Yeah.

01:26:28.480 That's what they always do.

01:26:29.140 That's what you take back.

01:26:30.240 That's so sad.

01:26:31.380 I find that.

01:26:31.920 It just is so sad.

01:26:33.280 It is.

01:26:33.640 At the start of the day,

01:26:34.580 anti-Muslim hatred.

01:26:35.580 It was an ongoing attempted murder case in Edinburgh.

01:26:37.900 It was a stabbing.

01:26:38.780 It was like, 0.63

01:26:39.240 oh, it looks to be anti-Muslim hatred.

01:26:40.520 I thought you said don't speculate.

01:26:41.940 Yeah.

01:26:42.240 And then that disappeared really quickly as well.

01:26:43.880 But then you have the ones in,

01:26:45.560 was it Surrey,

01:26:46.140 where it's like, oh, we've wrestled 12 people

01:26:47.720 as part of the far-right plot.

01:26:49.360 And that literally evaporated into nothing.

01:26:52.480 He absolutely speculated.

01:26:53.800 Yeah, they completely speculate.

01:26:55.840 And then they tell us not so.

01:26:56.940 It's like, no, sorry, I'm going to.

01:27:00.500 It's not speculation when you know the answer.

01:27:02.820 Yeah, exactly.

01:27:04.540 We've seen so many examples.

01:27:06.440 But the family wouldn't want it 0.73

01:27:07.440 who we've just coached with the secret Riku team. 0.95

01:27:10.100 You know what I mean?

01:27:10.440 That's another favourite.

01:27:11.080 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:11.740 Listen to the family

01:27:12.540 who we've just given extensive coaching to.

01:27:15.380 Yeah. 0.71

01:27:16.020 I like the Anne Whittacombe's family wouldn't want it. 0.96

01:27:18.320 She didn't have any family!

01:27:20.040 And it's not like she was some sort of shrinking violet

01:27:22.260 when it came to giving her political opinions.

01:27:24.740 And her political opinions were to the right of Genghis Khan.

01:27:27.720 Like, sorry.

01:27:29.060 Like, if anyone's going to politicise it,

01:27:30.740 it'd probably be Anne Whittacombe on Strictly Come Dancing

01:27:33.240 or something like that.

01:27:34.480 Luca says, I'm now working for an English company

01:27:36.720 because it was bought by an American company.

01:27:38.520 The Americans are quite woke,

01:27:39.600 but I must say the woke-ometer went to 11 0.82

01:27:41.340 once I transferred to the other side of the Atlantic.

01:27:43.700 god that must be insufferable

01:27:45.580 oh

01:27:46.040 that's bad

01:27:47.540 yeah

01:27:47.880 I mean we think America's our saviour

01:27:50.440 but America's

01:27:51.180 oh it's the source of woke

01:27:52.340 I know where woke comes from

01:27:53.840 but

01:27:54.080 at least the right is stronger in America

01:27:56.440 yeah

01:27:57.540 he's saying England's more woke

01:27:58.760 no he's saying America

01:27:59.620 the Americans are quite woke

01:28:00.720 but I must say the World Conference went 0.61

01:28:02.020 11 once I transferred to the other side

01:28:04.500 yeah

01:28:04.800 so he's saying it's worse here

01:28:05.980 no he's saying it's worse in America

01:28:07.320 I think he's saying it's worse here

01:28:08.280 I'm now working for an English company

01:28:09.660 because it was bought by an American

01:28:10.680 maybe he is

01:28:11.320 this is not entirely clear

01:28:12.280 but like

01:28:12.720 Yeah, it's probably more work.

01:28:13.720 Oh, no, no, maybe he is saying America is more work.

01:28:15.700 Well, it's hard to tell, isn't it?

01:28:16.880 The first part of the sentence makes it quite hard for me to tell.

01:28:18.900 In any case, at least America's got its states.

01:28:21.320 So if you don't like one state, you can go to another state.

01:28:23.640 It's always Florida.

01:28:24.900 We'll always have Florida.

01:28:25.840 We'll always have Florida.

01:28:27.320 But it keeps it, I mean, it keeps it, you know,

01:28:31.620 it keeps its fingers, it at least keeps its feet on the ground.

01:28:34.300 Texas is virtually a separate country,

01:28:35.680 a heavily armed separate country.

01:28:39.240 Michael Senna's, the real joke is, 0.90

01:28:40.580 all these AI centers

01:28:41.540 would be best served

01:28:42.280 by using small modular

01:28:43.200 nuclear reactors

01:28:44.000 and therefore having

01:28:44.920 an autonomous power structure.

01:28:46.100 This is another thing.

01:28:46.760 Do you remember in 2011

01:28:47.840 where the Cameron-Clegg government

01:28:50.700 would take 10 years

01:28:51.780 to build nuclear reactors?

01:28:52.960 Yeah.

01:28:53.360 I intend to still be here.

01:28:54.860 I know.

01:28:55.360 Do you not think...

01:28:56.340 I mean, you were still in...

01:28:57.080 The Conservatives

01:28:57.700 were still in government.

01:28:58.460 One small modular reactor

01:29:00.280 could do the whole of Devon.

01:29:01.700 Yeah.

01:29:02.240 Lee Fine News

01:29:02.800 talking about eternity.

01:29:03.800 They're like,

01:29:04.100 ooh, 10 years.

01:29:05.120 And the small modular reactors...

01:29:06.320 But they were still in government!

01:29:07.960 It's like...

01:29:08.800 It's not much bigger

01:29:09.680 than like the trailer on a truck yeah and that could do the whole of devon i look i look no wind 0.92

01:29:14.440 farms no solar none of that shit i looked this up using statistics on the government's own website

01:29:18.960 i think there's something like eight modular nuclear reactors could provide energy to every 0.87

01:29:23.080 home in england yeah right every single one and it's like okay so okay that's 138 billion it cost

01:29:28.820 as the initial investment you just go to rolls royce mates you're a british company british

01:29:33.540 where you got the gig but they're still prevaricating about whether to give rolls royce

01:29:37.380 the gig or not to the point of which rolls-royce have now said can you tell us if you're going to

01:29:41.420 give us the gig or not what's the hold up guys like where's the it's building them everywhere

01:29:45.440 else in the world you know check and you i mean like if you were like the primary see like right

01:29:50.480 we're gonna we're gonna take out a big loan 138 billion it's gonna be expensive but there's a

01:29:54.620 generational project we're gonna provide free electricity to every household in england right

01:29:59.840 that's just literally what we're gonna do and then the the upkeep on the nuclear power plants

01:30:04.320 should be paid for by tax but everyone's energy bills just disappear everyone's like that's

01:30:09.340 brilliant i love it i love it that's an actual way of making and we're not going to burn coal

01:30:13.900 yeah yeah it's going to be completely clean you know windmills no dead eagles yeah yeah yeah no

01:30:18.820 no countryside looking like cybertron with bloody useless solar panels because we're in england

01:30:23.520 because we have had some recently actually i love what trump said no country no country with wind

01:30:27.500 farms is doing well he's like china sells them they don't use them that's what he said did he

01:30:31.200 say that you did yeah but any anyway we're out of time uh dominic where can people find more from

01:30:35.500 me the flying frisbee is my uh blog my sub stack and uh please subscribe to that and it's been a

01:30:41.240 pleasure thank you thanks so much and we'll see you uh well if you're a gold tier subscriber

01:30:45.720 we'll see you in half an hour but otherwise have a great weekend and we'll see you on monday
